Speaker 1: It was even though you know, we're over a week
Speaker 1: into the new administration, yesterday was it was like it
Speaker 1: was the first day. It was just insane. And it
Speaker 1: because everyone was doing the thing that they do, right,
Speaker 1: so Trump's doing the thing, you know, He's doing the
Speaker 1: things he said he was gonna do when he was
Speaker 1: running in the h and I keep using the term,
Speaker 1: but there's no other way to say it. It's, you know,
Speaker 1: it's the drinking from the fire hose method of governing,
Speaker 1: and the media has got to try to keep up.
Speaker 1: And it caused that situation I told you about yesterday,
Speaker 1: where like the he repealed affirmative action and nobody really
Speaker 1: covered it very much. And eight years ago, that would
Speaker 1: have been an insane thing in the in the news cycle,
Speaker 1: like everyone would have been freaking out. It would have
Speaker 1: had all the gas. They would have pointed out that
Speaker 1: it's almost Black History Month and that's by design, and
Speaker 1: then leave out the context that this is when we
Speaker 1: put a new president in the whole thing would have
Speaker 1: been backcraped, crazy and nothing. So yesterday the media finally
Speaker 1: able to coalesce around a narrative. The narrative is Trump
Speaker 1: just shut off all the government all the people will starve,
Speaker 1: all the old people will die. There's gonna be no medicaid.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be no medicare. There's gonna be no food stamps.
Speaker 1: There's gonna be no police. I don't even have time
Speaker 1: to list all the things, even though I was able
Speaker 1: to when I started seeing these, I was able to
Speaker 1: go and look at the statements and the order, and
Speaker 1: it specifically did not, I repeat, did not affect those programs.
Speaker 1: What it did affect, and it is a pause, I
Speaker 1: would point out, is all the this other ancillary stuff,
Speaker 1: all this these crazy stories that come up from time
Speaker 1: to time or annually get put in that book of
Speaker 1: government waste that a couple senators like to put out,
Speaker 1: and you know, things like rubbers for Gaza and which
Speaker 1: that whole thing is crazy. Russo made a bunch of
Speaker 1: pictures this morning. Apparently he too was looking at that.
Speaker 1: If you don't know what it is, wait for it.
Speaker 1: We'll get to it, because I don't even know what
Speaker 1: to think. They're also, man, you want a rabbit hole?
Speaker 1: Do you remember the story here from inauguration day in Vermont,
Speaker 1: right up by the Canadian border, where a US Border
Speaker 1: Patrol agent was shot and killed. Do you know who
Speaker 1: they claim did it and who you're dealing with there,
Speaker 1: because that was a weird story, right, Like a lot
Speaker 1: of people probably maybe they saw the name or something,
Speaker 1: but they didn't really understand what was going on there
Speaker 1: and why a border patrol age. Maybe they thought they
Speaker 1: were apprehending people coming to It's far crazier than that.
Speaker 1: The the suspects here, let me read this. It's a couple, okay,
Speaker 1: but it's more than a couple. They are like Montana
Speaker 1: militia style, but it's a cult of of trans militia.
Speaker 1: It's it's crazy. I told you it's crazy. And federal
Speaker 1: law enforcement have been actually surveilling Felix Ophilia Backolt and
Speaker 1: Theresa Milo young Blood who goes by They literally in
Speaker 1: the press release here they have the pronouns z zemzers.
Speaker 1: Is that for both Okay, it's both of them. The
Speaker 1: reason that law enforcement decided to go ahead and roll
Speaker 1: up on them that day is the couple had gone
Speaker 1: to a motel in Lyndonville, Vermont, and the people at
Speaker 1: the hotel said something, saw something, said something. But also
Speaker 1: they were being surveilled, so in whatever capacity they were
Speaker 1: being surveilled. Law enforcement saw what Motel staff saw, and
Speaker 1: that was them dressing up in a bunch of black
Speaker 1: tactical clothing, which isn't inherently illegal, but a crap ton
Speaker 1: of weapons, which also isn't necessarily illegal. And then also
Speaker 1: they had some sort of protective equipment, so I'm assuming
Speaker 1: that means ves, perhaps a shield of some sort. I
Speaker 1: don't know. So what do they do. They pulled them over,
Speaker 1: They're like, what's you know, let's let's see what's going on.
Speaker 1: And it was at that point they just decided they
Speaker 1: were going to shoot the police officer, also Backholt, the
Speaker 1: oh Felix Bachholt was killed and young Blood was injured
Speaker 1: and survived. So anyway, this thing, the more you dig
Speaker 1: into this thing, it just gets crazier and crazier, like
Speaker 1: the cult status, which I don't like, what does that
Speaker 1: even mean? They don't do a very good job of
Speaker 1: outlining it. But but yeah, that's what was going on
Speaker 1: up there, man. According to federal law enforcement. There's a
Speaker 1: bunch of photos and then like, uh, finally some journalists
Speaker 1: decided to dig into this, and and when you do,
Speaker 1: and they start talking like people in Berkeley in this
Speaker 1: this one article I was looking at. Yeah, Jessica Taylor,
Speaker 1: a Berkeley, California women who actually had been friends I
Speaker 1: think with one of them, confirmed that they went a
Speaker 1: little off the deep end there. So what's crazy, though,
Speaker 1: is have you seen anyone really covering it? The person
Speaker 1: who's covering this whose article I'm reading is Andy No.
Speaker 1: You know, the dude who who Antifa hates more than
Speaker 1: anything on earth? All right, so here we go. According
Speaker 1: to according to Andy Knows reporting, Ophelia, the one who
Speaker 1: ended up losing their life in the the shootout with police,
Speaker 1: was connected to a violent trans militant cell or cult
Speaker 1: centered around a person known as Zizz, which was both
Speaker 1: their pronouns and apparently their cult name. Court filing suggests
Speaker 1: the armed trans duo involved in the attack was connected
Speaker 1: to the Ziz cult and they the reason that they
Speaker 1: were surveilling them was more so, it wasn't just a
Speaker 1: stockpile of weapons. They were suspected in three homicides across
Speaker 1: the US, but they did not have enough to go
Speaker 1: in and arrest them. I'm sorry I'm skimming this because
Speaker 1: I literally just saw. I was only able to read
Speaker 1: about half of it before the show started. Here we go.
Speaker 1: All right, So three murders and also the attempted murder
Speaker 1: of an eighty two year old man Curty. Eighty two
Speaker 1: year old artist lind of Vallejo, California, survived an assassination
Speaker 1: attempt on his life when members of the ziz Trans
Speaker 1: terror group impaled him with a sword, took one of
Speaker 1: his eyes out. After the he was their landlord. He
Speaker 1: he was evicting them because you know, they decided they
Speaker 1: were going to go ahead and not pay any money
Speaker 1: for the place. And at the time he actually thankfully
Speaker 1: had a firearm and he took out one of the
Speaker 1: cult members. This this thing is just wild. Man. It
Speaker 1: impaled him with a sword as in a ritualistic fashion.
Speaker 1: How he was able to get a shot off, I
Speaker 1: don't know, all right, So the the Yeah, a cult
Speaker 1: member by the name of amer Emma Borhanian was killed
Speaker 1: at the time. Oh wow. The Texas House lg who
Speaker 1: it was a Texas resident. The Texas House LGBTQ Caucus
Speaker 1: honored Borhanian even though he died in the process of
Speaker 1: trying to murder the eighty two year old ritualistically with
Speaker 1: a sword and in fact it GoFundMe raised tens of
Speaker 1: thousands of dollars for Bohanian's family. I'm not gonna be
Speaker 1: able to get to all of this. Here's what I'm
Speaker 1: gonna do this. There is a giant thread that no
Speaker 1: put together. I am retweeting it right now. All right,
Speaker 1: so it is reposted. If you go to at CAC
Speaker 1: on the radio on Twitter, you can you can go
Speaker 1: down this rabbit hole will I'm going to continue to
Speaker 1: do it during breaks. But that's about as far as
Speaker 1: I got. So the crazy's not over, man. You know,
Speaker 1: some dude literally yesterday went to the mall with molotov
Speaker 1: cocktails to go kill the new Treasury Secord Jerry, right,
Speaker 1: Which that's an instant hate crime, right because he's gay,
Speaker 1: isn't That's how it works, right, just wondering because I
Speaker 1: I was, I was reliably informed. That's how that's how
Speaker 1: this works. So and in fact, the suspect in that case,
Speaker 1: according to authorities, initially was going to kill Pete hegg
Speaker 1: Seth and then for whatever reason, uh did the old
Speaker 1: switcheroo over to to actually know hold on, let me uh,
Speaker 1: let me read this. Yeah, so it was gonna go, yeah,
Speaker 1: it was gonna go kill Pete hegg Seth and I
Speaker 1: don't know. I guess that didn't work out. Then was
Speaker 1: gonna go kill Mike Johnson and then decided to kill
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary Scott Descent that according to NBC News, by
Speaker 1: the way, before any of you, oh, you don't know
Speaker 1: he's gonna do, well, that's what they're reporting. So and
Speaker 1: if those are the people you trust, there you go, yeah,
Speaker 1: I think you got to go instan hate crime. I
Speaker 1: gotta think I gotta think the Justice Department is going
Speaker 1: to go throw everything they add. The question will be
Speaker 1: a kind of judge do they get if they get
Speaker 1: some moon bad judge? And I don't even know how
Speaker 1: that rolls out. So there you go a little fun
Speaker 1: and for volity to start your day. There is another
Speaker 1: thing we're gonna have to do. I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: issue a correction on a story that we did yesterday,
Speaker 1: because you know, that's what we do. And when when
Speaker 1: you're wrong about something you need to be forthright, you
Speaker 1: generally need to do it around the same time or
Speaker 1: in the same manner like This is always the criticism
Speaker 1: of newspapers, you know, especially during the first Trump uh presidency,
Speaker 1: where they would write something and they would it would
Speaker 1: be splashed on the front page and it would be
Speaker 1: incredibly wrong. And then, you know, like two weeks of
Speaker 1: feet dragon later, they put it in you know, second
Speaker 1: for six or something of the paper and everybody knew
Speaker 1: what was up. No, you got to do it in
Speaker 1: the same manner that you did it, so that you
Speaker 1: make sure that you're correcting this in front of people.
Speaker 1: And I messed up yesterday on the story of the
Speaker 1: of the lift driver that was fired. Now, if you
Speaker 1: don't remember this story, there was a woman, a rather
Speaker 1: large woman, who was videoing this this whole situation where
Speaker 1: she had called a lift and the lift driver refused
Speaker 1: to let her in the car she called a regular lift,
Speaker 1: and I pointed out that she was six hundred pounds.
Speaker 1: Well we know more today. One she's a rapper from Detroit,
Speaker 1: which I did not know, So I apologize for leaving
Speaker 1: that out. I didn't know she was famous. Also, when
Speaker 1: I said that type TUPAC was six hundred pounds, she's
Speaker 1: only five hundred pounds according to her own attorney. Now
Speaker 1: you're probably wondering why Rose Malone has an attorney, and
Speaker 1: the reason is is because she's not just concerned with
Speaker 1: getting the lift driver fired. No, No, heaviest d is
Speaker 1: filing a lawsuit ensuing Lyft for a lot of money.
Speaker 1: And it was at this point I realized that triple
Speaker 1: exhibit here was this is a shakedown and probably a
Speaker 1: publicity stunt in my opinion. Okay, it's like it's too
Speaker 1: instant coordinated. The video was running. She probably had encountered
Speaker 1: something like this before and thought to herself, you know what,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna do this and when they show up, I'll
Speaker 1: be filming, so I have all the evidence and then
Speaker 1: we can go We can go ahead and and make
Speaker 1: some money. But I had to correct it. So when
Speaker 1: I said yesterday that da Belly was six hundred pounds,
Speaker 1: what I meant to say, according to her attorney, says,
Speaker 1: I don't want to get sued because it's clear that
Speaker 1: Lardie b heres after some money. She's only five hundred
Speaker 1: pounds and not six hundred and is a rapper, so
Speaker 1: you know, are bad or by bad ross. I don't
Speaker 1: hang Ross into this in case the lawsuit comes. But
Speaker 1: that was that was my bad. So if asap Rocky
Speaker 1: Road here's this, I'm sorry you're still in my opinion
Speaker 1: doing a shakedown and this was coordinated and it's it's
Speaker 1: been and you literally cost this dude his or at
Speaker 1: least part of his livelihood. And Lyft should be ashamed
Speaker 1: of themselves because they know. Look, their lawyers are sitting
Speaker 1: in the back and they understand that heaviest d is
Speaker 1: shaking them down. So if like they realize it, then
Speaker 1: maybe Lyft should uh fix this and not let Jacola win. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, we got that. I know what you say.
Speaker 1: You say, Casey, is there no parody with a little
Speaker 1: in front? And I would say little Plump would work too,
Speaker 1: or John in the east Side boys, little John, We'll
Speaker 1: be back phone number eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 1: seven eight seven four. Wait where do we want to start? Well, well, Ross,
Speaker 1: I think you put it very succinctly just a moment
Speaker 1: ago when we were chatting. It's pretty clear to people
Speaker 1: with eyes and the ability to reason that whatever you
Speaker 1: give Hamas, no matter how benign or non weapony, it
Speaker 1: is seemingly their first thing is to sit in a
Speaker 1: room with the think tank and go, how can we
Speaker 1: weaponize this to kill Jews? Case in point, prophylactics man,
Speaker 1: this story, Oh, my this story because at first, if
Speaker 1: you're just hearing about it and it's not a news story,
Speaker 1: but when you first hear about it, the outrage lies
Speaker 1: with the idea, well, let's go ahead and actually hear
Speaker 1: from the new White House Press Secretary, Miss Levitt, who
Speaker 1: I thought did a great job yesterday. Is we got
Speaker 1: a bunch of cuts from her. Yesterday was her first
Speaker 1: one and she's standing up there. There was there was
Speaker 1: a couple little jitters at the beginning. I think I
Speaker 1: would have been far worse. This isn't even a criticism
Speaker 1: because now you're there. Now, if you're in the world
Speaker 1: of pr and communications, you are in the number one
Speaker 1: job in the world. If there's anything bigger than that,
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is. And you're staring and
Speaker 1: and you're staring at a room full of people who
Speaker 1: the majority of which hate you, and over however long
Speaker 1: your tenure is, we'll spend every waking moment trying to
Speaker 1: get you, trying to confuse you, trying to catch you
Speaker 1: off guard. And what I was really impressed with is
Speaker 1: this isn't a knock on mcanany Levitt didn't have a
Speaker 1: binder in front of her, and yet as you'll come
Speaker 1: to find out if you play these cuts. She knew
Speaker 1: all of her stuff, and she knew everybody's name. She
Speaker 1: knew everybody's name, which means she studied that chart. Now
Speaker 1: granted she's she's been in it, so she knows a
Speaker 1: lot of these folks. But she doesn't know everybody in
Speaker 1: that room. But she knew everybody in that room, and
Speaker 1: she knew all the information top of her head. That's
Speaker 1: wildly impressive. Think about how it is for Russ. Name
Speaker 1: all of our salespeople. Go ahead, name all we have.
Speaker 2: We have salespeople.
Speaker 1: This is my point.
Speaker 2: There's Tim, who had been with the company forever, good
Speaker 2: old Tim. Yeah, there's John.
Speaker 1: There's even a Johnny Greens.
Speaker 2: Think we have a Jeff?
Speaker 1: Oh is that JT's name? Is that who he's in programming? Okay,
Speaker 1: this is my point. Right, you probably don't even know
Speaker 1: everyone you work with, if you have more than five
Speaker 1: people at your company, if anybody's new, because look, here's
Speaker 1: the deal. How many of you work in the thing
Speaker 1: where you got to give it about six months to
Speaker 1: see if you'll decide to remember their name. It's for
Speaker 1: everyone's own good because you know, breakups are hard to do,
Speaker 1: and and you know, selling radio can be a tough job.
Speaker 1: Some people excel immediately at it and some don't. Some people,
Speaker 1: you know, just doesn't work out. So so watching her
Speaker 1: go through that room and know everybody that was that
Speaker 1: was very impressive. But let's get to the let's get
Speaker 1: to the rubbers, shall we.
Speaker 3: Just during this pause a Doge and Omb have actually
Speaker 3: found that there was thirty seven million dollars that was
Speaker 3: about to go out the door to the World Health Organization,
Speaker 3: which is an organization as you all know, that President Trump,
Speaker 3: with the swipe of his pen in that executive order,
Speaker 3: is no longer wants the United States to be a
Speaker 3: part of so that wouldn't be in line with the
Speaker 3: president's agenda. Doj and Omb also found that there was
Speaker 3: about to be fifty million taxpayer dollars that went out
Speaker 3: the door to fund condoms in Gaza. That is a
Speaker 3: preposterous waste of taxpayer money. So that's what this pause
Speaker 3: is focused on, being good stewards.
Speaker 4: Of tax dollar.
Speaker 1: So you what you first think is that's just misguided
Speaker 1: health blah blah blah whatever, But it doesn't account for
Speaker 1: the reality on the ground because rather than using the
Speaker 1: prophylactics to avoid making New Hamas members, which in that
Speaker 1: at that point you could at least attempt to argue
Speaker 1: to me, it's an investment. That's not what they were
Speaker 1: using them for. No, no, no, they were turning them
Speaker 1: into flaming aerial Molotov cocktails and floating them into Israel,
Speaker 1: which is which is really ingenious actually, right because obviously
Speaker 1: the iron dome there is is look for missiles and stuff,
Speaker 1: like they're not looking for hundreds of flaming condoms.
Speaker 2: Like they remind me of like I had this buddy, right,
Speaker 2: I think we all had that one buddy who when
Speaker 2: we were younger, they could turn anything into a bong. Yeah,
Speaker 2: Like whatever you give them, they're like, I'm going to
Speaker 2: turn that into a bom gonna smoke out of that thing.
Speaker 2: Whatever you send over there, whatever it is, they're be like,
Speaker 2: how can we use this to kill Jews?
Speaker 1: Yeah? And and and it's like, you know, it's one
Speaker 1: of those things where they like they bust some dude
Speaker 1: who's run who's like really really good at business, running
Speaker 1: a drug empire, and it's like, bro, you're so good
Speaker 1: at business, like you could be legit. What are you
Speaker 1: doing so. Like, if if you're able to literally mastercraft
Speaker 1: anything they send you so you can kill Jews, you
Speaker 1: probably should start a tech startup or something, right, but
Speaker 1: not one that makes things to kill Jews. One that
Speaker 1: makes people's lives better. I don't know, just a thought,
Speaker 1: because you're good at tinkering.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then they couldn't killed Jews.
Speaker 1: I understand that, and that is the rub for them.
Speaker 1: I understand that. But you know, maybe they make some
Speaker 1: money and then donate it to people to kill Jews.
Speaker 1: I don't know, there's not a you know, there's a
Speaker 1: all right, so, and I'm looking at pictures of these things,
Speaker 1: so you're going all the way, are they filling the causs? No,
Speaker 1: they're using the condoms essentially as balloons, and then under
Speaker 1: them you have the you know, the little bomby explodey thing.
Speaker 1: I'm very technical, so you may not be able to
Speaker 1: keep up. But yeah, this headline flaming condoms newest threat
Speaker 1: to Southern Israel.
Speaker 2: And after I've seen I saw elon Musk post this
Speaker 2: last night. After reading the headline and seeing that it
Speaker 2: was from the Jerusalem Post, I'm like, I remember us
Speaker 2: talking about this during COVID because it was in twenty twenty.
Speaker 1: It was in twenty twenty when the Jerusalem Post did it.
Speaker 1: So that's the other thing too, So they've no let's
Speaker 1: say that they found out only on the day this
Speaker 1: article was published, which I don't believe, right, because obviously
Speaker 1: our intelligen is co mingled with with with Israel because
Speaker 1: they're they're one of the eyes. Let's say. But let's
Speaker 1: say the US government only found out when the Jerusalem
Speaker 1: Post ran this article in twenty twenty, how is there
Speaker 1: still a budget to send all of these condoms five
Speaker 1: years later, or even if it was the end of
Speaker 1: the year four years later, because you're like, well, why
Speaker 1: I didn't use them in the in the budoir They
Speaker 1: used them to as to kill the Jews or attempt
Speaker 1: to Here we go. Jerusalem Post reported in twenty twenty
Speaker 1: the scores of condoms were being used to create ied
Speaker 1: carrying balloons that wins would carry into southern Israel, which
Speaker 1: would cause you know, school yards, farmers, basically anyone who's
Speaker 1: outside at that point, you know how they do the alarms.
Speaker 1: Everybody runs to stuff. Well they see these things coming
Speaker 1: over and it shuts down whatever's going on, and they
Speaker 1: knew about it, and they still had a byline in there.
Speaker 1: The unraveling, the absolute unraveling of all of these programs,
Speaker 1: all of these non governmental organizations. I posted this yesterday
Speaker 1: and I saw others have arrived at the same conclusion.
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's very clear because there's so much
Speaker 1: of this, and there's all these little one off organizations
Speaker 1: that all do really kind of weird stuff that all
Speaker 1: were funded, all were getting money, and uh the term
Speaker 1: to best describe it is moonbat basic income minimum basic income. Right.
Speaker 1: So if if you are an absolute soldier for the woke,
Speaker 1: all this wokeism, and you went you got a garbage
Speaker 1: degree right in uh I one of the one of
Speaker 1: the non traditional humanities, and you're you're you're an activist.
Speaker 1: They made sure you weren't without a job, man, you
Speaker 1: would have some basically no show thing working for this
Speaker 1: non governmental organization which somehow got a contract to go ahead.
Speaker 1: And we'll get into some of the lists here, but
Speaker 1: just do stuff that no taxpayer really wants to pay for.
Speaker 1: That's what they're going after right now. They're going to
Speaker 1: go one by one through these during the pause and
Speaker 1: go no not doing this, No, we're not doing this,
Speaker 1: and people who are arguing that that's not within the
Speaker 1: purview of the executive branch aren't necessarily accurate as not
Speaker 1: as we understand it. And I can prove this because
Speaker 1: California got sued for taking dollars and adopting the broadest
Speaker 1: definition for viable use. And it was and it went
Speaker 1: all the way up to the night was Night Circuit
Speaker 1: whatever the one over there in California is. And of
Speaker 1: course they're like, no, look if it had the word
Speaker 1: green in it, and even if it said green port stuff,
Speaker 1: this is what the lawsuit was about. It's still only
Speaker 1: you could earmark basically all the money for green stuff
Speaker 1: because somebody put in there that this is to promote
Speaker 1: green projects. So now you're getting the It wasn't meant
Speaker 1: that way. It was meant to do things like maybe
Speaker 1: open some additional shipping some you know, they get some
Speaker 1: crane so you can unload ships faster, because we were
Speaker 1: having all these supply chain issues. And they just said no,
Speaker 1: and so they took the money and they didn't expand
Speaker 1: any of the capacity. They just swapped out you know,
Speaker 1: old style fossil fuel trucks for green trucks which then
Speaker 1: plug in to power that's created through fossil fuels. Sheer
Speaker 1: insanity man, So no, not necessarily, and if it needs
Speaker 1: to be changed at the congressional level, Congress can do this,
Speaker 1: and it's not. If it's not new spending, they don't
Speaker 1: need sixty votes in the Senate, and the House is
Speaker 1: a simple majority there as would be the Senate. So
Speaker 1: they're saying one thing which could be partially accurate, but
Speaker 1: also quickly overcome, so long as they can rally it,
Speaker 1: because if they want to go one by one, it
Speaker 1: will take a very long time. So what likely will
Speaker 1: happen is they'll cut or redirect funds to of these
Speaker 1: insane things, which are nothing more than welfare for moon
Speaker 1: bats that they can call on immediately, right they can
Speaker 1: get them. These are the experts that sign things. These
Speaker 1: are their soldiers, and they can go through and really
Speaker 1: try to weaponize this. But what they're going to be
Speaker 1: staring at if there actually has to be legislation, is
Speaker 1: a list of programs like the one with the condoms,
Speaker 1: and then they're going to have to go out and
Speaker 1: defend them, and they will misconstrue what they are. They'll
Speaker 1: say that they're trying to get. They're trying to they're
Speaker 1: taking away STD prevention is how they'll word that one.
Speaker 1: And then you know, Johnny doesn't pay attention, sitting there
Speaker 1: on his couch with his idiot wife going, can you
Speaker 1: believe that the Republicans want people to get the aids?
Speaker 1: They're evil? Mark my words, that's the path we're on.
Speaker 1: So I have seen steely resolve thus far within the
Speaker 1: new administration, and that's what it's gonna take, because they're
Speaker 1: going to accuse you of everything from trying to kill
Speaker 1: Nana to uh wanting babies to get cancer? Right, remember that,
Speaker 1: you remember that with the Continuing Resolution, even though there
Speaker 1: had been a standalone bill to fund infant cancer research
Speaker 1: that Democrats would not allow, they didn't allow out of
Speaker 1: a committee, and then when it was in this omnibus
Speaker 1: bill with everything else, then they're like, do you see
Speaker 1: that they want to they want babies to die of cancer.
Speaker 1: And then that same idiot on his couch, oh, let
Speaker 1: me send you ten dollars only to have Act Blues
Speaker 1: say I donated seven hundred times ten thousand dollars. That's
Speaker 1: another scan. All of this is absolutely scandalous and That's
Speaker 1: why they're gonna fight so hard, because this is the fallback.
Speaker 1: This is your reward for being a good soldier, going out,
Speaker 1: gluing yourself to stuff when necessary, showing up every now
Speaker 1: and then one of you flips out, hides in the
Speaker 1: bushes to shoot Trump and your whole racket. If they
Speaker 1: are successful, here is done. You're all out of a job.
Speaker 1: This is literally what Barack. Remember when Barack Obama said
Speaker 1: that Isis's problem was they didn't have jobs, he wasn't
Speaker 1: a thousand percent wrong, right, Because if you're when the
Speaker 1: terrorist organizations lean heavily into the hopelessness, because it's you
Speaker 1: can tell people that the reason they're poor and the
Speaker 1: reason that they don't have opportunity is not because the
Speaker 1: leaders of Hamas are stealing all of it and living
Speaker 1: in giant London mansions or in Qatar. Before they throw
Speaker 1: them out, they tell them it's because the Jews did it,
Speaker 1: or the US did it, or the West did it,
Speaker 1: or whoever it is. And it's easier to weaponize those people.
Speaker 1: So you're about to have a bunch of the hardest
Speaker 1: core leftist activists who's who just had this spigot turned
Speaker 1: off the money ain't flowing no more, and frankly, their
Speaker 1: ideology and the things that they were advocating for have
Speaker 1: fallen out of style with Americans. Ten years ago, a
Speaker 1: third of the country supported mass deportations. The number now
Speaker 1: in every single poll I've seen is over fifty percent,
Speaker 1: and the majority are in the high fifties low sixties.
Speaker 1: Is done. And so much of this money also is
Speaker 1: attached to a lot of these These the immigration, migration,
Speaker 1: illegal immigration, you name it, organizations whose sole thing was
Speaker 1: to advocate. These are the folks who were printing guides
Speaker 1: and arming people with literally what to say. They don't
Speaker 1: even speak the language, and they were arming them with, say,
Speaker 1: telling I fear for my safety because and then you pick,
Speaker 1: you know, pick one of the reasons. And at that point,
Speaker 1: oh well, if you fear for your safety, here you go,
Speaker 1: well what are you talking about? Those are the groups
Speaker 1: that we're talking about. These are the groups that were
Speaker 1: moving them around the country, making it that much harder,
Speaker 1: under the cover of oh, we're just you know, we're
Speaker 1: being helpful, and yeah, there's some religious organizations tied into
Speaker 1: this stuff. It's gonna get messy. But what do you think,
Speaker 1: what do you think a million unemployed, hardcore, pink haired,
Speaker 1: bull ring in the nose leftists. And I understand that
Speaker 1: I'm generalizing. I'm stereotyping here, but am I, what do
Speaker 1: you think they're gonna do? You don't think they're gonna
Speaker 1: throw on some ANTIFA gear and h and fire away
Speaker 1: because now it's not government money necessarily, it's a bunch
Speaker 1: of rich lunatics who fund this stuff. I don't want
Speaker 1: to be that guy. But if they're successful in purging
Speaker 1: a lot of this, then there's going to be violence,
Speaker 1: and I don't celebrate that. But am I go ahead
Speaker 1: explain to me how my logic is wrong. This is
Speaker 1: the realization I sat there and pondered and thought about
Speaker 1: yesterday and then I'm like, damn it. And then I
Speaker 1: went and made myself some dinner, and I'm thinking, I'm like,
Speaker 1: they're gonna the mostly peaceful summer if they're successful and
Speaker 1: fast tracking this, where are those people gonna go? If
Speaker 1: not to the streets to attack people? So some scary
Speaker 1: times could be out there, and I don't want it,
Speaker 1: not for a minute. But it's also not Republican's fault.
Speaker 1: Some of it mightea is I'm sure there's some NGOs
Speaker 1: in there that are purely on them. But no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: this is what Democrats have wrought, much as I explained
Speaker 1: with illegal immigration yesterday. This is dangerous stuff and it's
Speaker 1: there doing. We'll be back. Oh number eight eight eight
Speaker 1: nine three four seven eight seven four coming up on
Speaker 1: this show. Oh that's interesting, huh, weirdness there. So Ross,
Speaker 1: I was typing into Google NC auditor because I always
Speaker 1: had I go and make I want to check a
Speaker 1: bio if we have a guest coming up, because the
Speaker 1: new state auditor is coming on. Do you know? Would
Speaker 1: you do this? Will you pop Google open on your
Speaker 1: computer please? I want you to type NC space au
Speaker 1: I've gotten that far, and tell me what your predictive
Speaker 1: search results say, the ones that where the little thing
Speaker 1: drops down and you can click so you don't have
Speaker 1: to finish typing. So I'm typing to get Bullock our
Speaker 1: state auditors bio, just so I have it in front
Speaker 1: of me because he's going to be joining us at
Speaker 1: eight oh five. So as I start typing this, it
Speaker 1: gives me NC auditor, which is good. That's what I'm
Speaker 1: going to type. And then on the predictive it has
Speaker 1: Beth Wood. Okay, she was auditor for a long time.
Speaker 1: She's probably in there NC Auto Repair. I guess you
Speaker 1: could go there and then it says NC Auditor Jessica Holmes.
Speaker 2: Now mine is completely different.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, because here's the thing. All right, so
Speaker 1: does it have Bullock in there?
Speaker 2: No, it goes NC State Auditor candidates, race, election, salary jobs, engineering.
Speaker 1: Okay, that's weird, interesting, Okay. Anyway, Yeah, so that's my
Speaker 1: long way of saying that Dave Bullack will join us. Now,
Speaker 1: why am I having Davon so we can talk auditing
Speaker 1: or monster trucking the cars with state cars? No? No, no,
Speaker 1: although jokes will probably be made. Bullock is one of
Speaker 1: two Council of State office holders who decided to purge
Speaker 1: openly announce the purging of DEI from his office. So
Speaker 1: what does that mean? I don't know what it means.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously the otter's office isn't gigantic, but what
Speaker 1: does that look like? And also what do you do
Speaker 1: when people are trying to actively skirt stuff. I'm sure
Speaker 1: you've seen all of these side by side photos that
Speaker 1: have emerged where it's like where the title is, you know,
Speaker 1: a vice president of a diversity, Equity and Inclusion and
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden last week their title on
Speaker 1: the government website is just some generic thing which really
Speaker 1: doesn't mean anything where they're clearly trying to hide what
Speaker 1: they do. So and by the way, as they get busted,
Speaker 1: they'll get purged. And if you're mad, I don't know
Speaker 1: if you saw what Trump did, dude, I'm sorry. This
Speaker 1: is this is funny. And I know people like, oh,
Speaker 1: these are people's lives. I understand that, but who knows
Speaker 1: better than anyone what the actual the ability to do
Speaker 1: For those of us who work in the private sector,
Speaker 1: Our staffing looks nothing like it looked like five years ago,
Speaker 1: ten years ago, fifteen years ago, unless I guess you're
Speaker 1: in a startup that's rapidly growing. But even in those cases,
Speaker 1: look at what look at what Elon Musk did with Twitter.
Speaker 1: He has what twenty five percent of the original workforce.
Speaker 1: It's some crazy low number, between thirty and twenty percent,
Speaker 1: And there's eighty twenty rule. I'm not if you've ever
Speaker 1: heard of this, and it really goes to twenty percent
Speaker 1: of the people are going to do about eighty percent
Speaker 1: of the eighty percent of the work. It's I'm probably
Speaker 1: misdescribing it, but basically, you get yourself into a big,
Speaker 1: bloated corporation and especially a bloated governmental organization, and it's
Speaker 1: it's very clear that you can trim some of that fat.
Speaker 1: You can trim some of that fat. And there's countless
Speaker 1: stories where you know, people who who have worked there say,
Speaker 1: you know what was crazy is we could have we
Speaker 1: could we could do this thing with half the staff
Speaker 1: here because we're literally told by our bosses to work
Speaker 1: slower or they create intentional slowdowns. So there's never really
Speaker 1: the highest of expectations. And if you ever get put
Speaker 1: in a position where you need to up your productivity,
Speaker 1: let's say your goals are five percent, it's easy to
Speaker 1: do that because you have artificially low numbers. What is this.
Speaker 5: All?
Speaker 4: Right?
Speaker 1: Hang on, so I'll deal with this in a moment.
Speaker 1: So what Trump did yesterday going around is he offered buyouts.
Speaker 1: So if you're sitting there and you realize you work
Speaker 1: in a department where not much is accomplished, or you
Speaker 1: don't like who's in charge now, or any of the rest,
Speaker 1: rather than just getting fired or sidelined or whatever, it
Speaker 1: is they're offering a buyout. Now, the buyouts are different
Speaker 1: depending on what you do, length a variety of things.
Speaker 1: And all you have to do, and this is what
Speaker 1: made me laugh, open up your email of your government
Speaker 1: account and send to that. There's an HR address for
Speaker 1: the federal government and just you don't have to write
Speaker 1: anything in the body of the email. You can just
Speaker 1: write the word resign and the butt. Okay, So this
Speaker 1: is what Ross is literally emailing me. It says free
Speaker 1: day off today in the subject line, and then he
Speaker 1: added the emphasis thing the stupid Now it's on my
Speaker 1: iPhone and it's the thing where the word shows up
Speaker 1: and then it goes big free hard. But you can't
Speaker 1: will you can't will this into exist. What are you
Speaker 1: a TikToker? Where you're what is it the word they
Speaker 1: use manifest? You manifest? You're not manifesting stuff in a
Speaker 1: single line and sending it to me doesn't do any good.
Speaker 1: You got to send it to Bob Pittman or Travor
Speaker 1: or you know one of the people.
Speaker 2: Who have pull man.
Speaker 1: It's legal now, it's not in the Are you a
Speaker 1: federal government worker? Are you a federal You can't write
Speaker 1: resign today back to tomorrow. That doesn't that's not how
Speaker 1: resigning works either.
Speaker 2: Oh I'm not I'm not a lawyer.
Speaker 1: I know you're not a lawyer, but I at.
Speaker 2: One point did consider becoming a pair of legal, which
Speaker 2: I believe is more powerful than a lawyer.
Speaker 1: Did you was this roughly when you were working evening
Speaker 1: so you had to watch TV during the middle of
Speaker 1: the day when they have all the divrye commercials. Okay,
Speaker 1: almost got you? Did that?
Speaker 2: A paradonnist is like a super dentist, a pairalegal.
Speaker 1: No no, no, no, no no no. Those are a
Speaker 1: lawyer and a dnnist that are in a wheelchair. So
Speaker 1: he obviously doesn't know what words mean. So I can
Speaker 1: just say this, I'm gonna turn that off. There we go.
Speaker 1: Let me know, by the way, if any of that
Speaker 1: pants out, so I can send my own demands. Okay,
Speaker 1: would SAYE, I can see s type is. I don't
Speaker 1: know what it is. I'm going to close this down.
Speaker 1: H So anyway, yeah, if you're so, if you're a
Speaker 1: federal employee, always making the word go big again, by
Speaker 1: the way, I could for much just a moment. If
Speaker 1: if Ross's goal was to distract he's just accomplished this.
Speaker 1: Whoever designed the new emphasis way that the iPhone works
Speaker 1: with the messaging system where if you just hold the
Speaker 1: button for a split second too long and move your
Speaker 1: finger to the right, it takes everything you just wrote
Speaker 1: and adds the emphasis whatever it is to choose from.
Speaker 1: So you have to delete all of it. And the
Speaker 1: person who redesigned the photo apps, which I don't have
Speaker 1: a lot of photos. I don't really take photos, but
Speaker 1: I have a lot of screenshots that I use for
Speaker 1: Twitter posts and stuff. Resign. Send an email to Tim
Speaker 1: Cook and yeah, okay.
Speaker 2: Yeah, dude, the the the the photos app is so bad.
Speaker 2: It's so bad.
Speaker 1: I only need two things, and I need the screenshot
Speaker 1: I just took right because I take it and I
Speaker 1: may want to edit it so I can pop it
Speaker 1: into the Twitter and then my memes folder, and I have,
Speaker 1: I mean really every that's almost everything on my phone
Speaker 1: is stupid memes. There's a there are some photos that
Speaker 1: I've obviously taken for myself. Most of its social media stuff,
Speaker 1: and it's not me. It's not like your wife's cell phone,
Speaker 1: which is her in front of everything while you take it. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm not talking about Ross's wife and Joe. Maybe that is.
Speaker 1: But does your wife have a lot more photos than
Speaker 1: you should? Probably done tons of them? Yes, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, so now you've made it. If I want
Speaker 1: to go to my meme folder, you know how far
Speaker 1: I got to scroll on that damn thing, And it
Speaker 1: used to be I just hit the drop down and boom,
Speaker 1: there it is, and I put a little asterisk in
Speaker 1: front of it so it would populate first on the thing.
Speaker 1: Now it's all the way at the bottom. Who are you? What? What? What? Demon?
Speaker 1: Maybe it's the Ouiji board demon from the story we
Speaker 1: coming up? Who decided to do that? Send Tim Cook
Speaker 1: an email resign or I'm gonna have elon fire you
Speaker 1: into the sun. Okay? So annoying? All right? Eight eight
Speaker 1: eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So there's
Speaker 1: so much craziness. Tell you what, Let's do this. We'll
Speaker 1: do a rundown of the first White House press briefing
Speaker 1: with a new press officer, Ms. Levitt. I thought it
Speaker 1: went great. There's a lot of interesting stuff. We got
Speaker 1: drones and press credentials, all sorts of goodies. And I
Speaker 1: think this woman who appears to be insane, although I
Speaker 1: have seen people who are very much on the religious
Speaker 1: side that this may be. I think her husband is
Speaker 1: just a genius. Videos making the rounds, you know, some
Speaker 1: of them political, some of them not, some of them
Speaker 1: just like Carnival sideshow. That's the thing, like the side
Speaker 1: shows of the twenties with the people with the deformed
Speaker 1: whatever or the beard or you name it, like that
Speaker 1: didn't go away. That's just it's just digital. Now. That's
Speaker 1: what we get on the internet for some people, just
Speaker 1: swimming it all day and I guess maybe it makes
Speaker 1: them feel better whatever. So that being said right now,
Speaker 1: and then I get drug over. So I saw this
Speaker 1: one going around to this lady with a pile of
Speaker 1: notebooks and a Ouiji board and I'm like, I am
Speaker 1: clicking on this. She looks backcrap crazy, And then I
Speaker 1: started watching it. I'm a play some for you will
Speaker 1: retweet it so you can stare in awe on your own.
Speaker 1: But here we go.
Speaker 4: The state of the world right now. I feel compelled
Speaker 4: to share with TikTok something I don't talk about very often,
Speaker 4: that because it makes me sound insane and I don't
Speaker 4: know if it's real or not or what it is.
Speaker 4: But basically since twenty thirteen, me and my husband have
Speaker 4: essentially been talking to some thing on a Ouiji board.
Speaker 1: All right, and I want to point out my first
Speaker 1: initial thought, and Ross you can tell me what you think.
Speaker 1: My first thing is. I just assume this is going
Speaker 1: to be all a setup, right, all fake. But like
Speaker 1: if it is, the amount of work they put into
Speaker 1: those notebooks and stuff, and she doesn't sound like she's
Speaker 1: act I don't even know how to describe it. So again,
Speaker 1: I don't know. It could be all fake. The Internet's
Speaker 1: full of that crap. But also I have another theory,
Speaker 1: so let's continue. Oh and it's about the end of
Speaker 1: the world, so you're gonna want to pay attention.
Speaker 4: Goes by the name of seven, who has been telling
Speaker 4: us that the world is going to end May twenty seven,
Speaker 4: twenty twenty five. And I have pages and pages and
Speaker 4: pages of our correspondence with this thing, like pages and
Speaker 4: pages and pages, and I have it here raw, just
Speaker 4: what I've written down, and I have it on Google
Speaker 4: docs and Google docs. It comes out to like eighty
Speaker 4: some pages.
Speaker 1: Okay, a couple things when the Google docs could be
Speaker 1: a I generate Again, I try to poke holes in
Speaker 1: this stuff. And I know what you're saying. That sounds crazy,
Speaker 1: but is she any less crazy than those weird scientists
Speaker 1: with their doomsday clock that we had to see yesterday.
Speaker 1: Ross Alcohut went away eighty nine seconds, right.
Speaker 2: And the people are so annoying, and they're also annoying.
Speaker 1: There's always every picture they post every year, are is
Speaker 1: the picture of the most boring people you've ever seen.
Speaker 2: But it's there super imaginary, made up clock based on
Speaker 2: nothing to scare people. And it's just like, oh, well
Speaker 2: there's a Republican in office now, so oh you gotta
Speaker 2: be afraid. And we pushed the clock up ten seconds now,
Speaker 2: but like if Biden gets in there, like, whoa, we're
Speaker 2: going to push the clock back a ten seconds? Come on?
Speaker 1: Yeah, And especially like here's how you know that their
Speaker 1: whole their algorithm is broken. You know, this guy this
Speaker 1: first four years was the last president in moder in
Speaker 1: history to not start a conflict. So arguably, arguably your
Speaker 1: clock should go back. So we know it's busted. Ross
Speaker 1: wants his own clock to scare people too, so don't
Speaker 1: let him fool you. So he's been making predictions. But anyway,
Speaker 1: so is that clock any more accurate than this Chickswuiji board.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Let's find out.
Speaker 4: And I should purpose this by saying, hold.
Speaker 1: On, I am I not hearing audio there, hang on.
Speaker 4: And I should purpose this by saying, well, that's.
Speaker 2: Great, it's plait.
Speaker 1: It's plain last night, I don't have any return on
Speaker 1: my button bar there.
Speaker 2: Yeah, there's no reason for that, all right. So I
Speaker 2: think Casey's feed just completely died. He's staring at me
Speaker 2: here through the we have like a George Zimmerman short
Speaker 2: of sort of camera here. We don't have a window
Speaker 2: because the company can't afford a window, and he's making
Speaker 2: these really panicky sort of what is happening now?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 2: All right, we have completely crapped the bed. So I'm
Speaker 2: going to go to break and try to fix everything.
Speaker 2: We'll be right back. It's the case you to a
Speaker 2: radio program, we hope.
Speaker 1: All right. So I think the gut button bars fixed.
Speaker 1: I might have spazed out a little there. I apologize.
Speaker 1: One of those days. In fact, poor race Ageic gets
Speaker 1: to stuff for the bront because he joins us, now,
Speaker 1: how are you doing there? Ray? Because normally would have
Speaker 1: gone to you after I was done with my audio
Speaker 1: and then then I couldn't hear the audio, and then
Speaker 1: I hit the wrong button and your weatherbed play. Just
Speaker 1: it's been a morning. It happens.
Speaker 6: It happens, So make everything better, shall we? Yeah, we
Speaker 6: will mild, but not even close to record warmth. For example,
Speaker 6: yesterday and Rowley sixty one, the record will stay at
Speaker 6: seventy eight. That was in nineteen forty four Greensboro, so
Speaker 6: that's try at fifty nine. The record there also seventy eight,
Speaker 6: and that one also in nineteen forty four, so it's
Speaker 6: been warmer, but still we're near above sixty degrees as
Speaker 6: we head on through the coming days, Today most likely
Speaker 6: upper fifties, a lot of sunshine around Tomorrow partly Sunday
Speaker 6: lows will still be down close to freezing and augusty
Speaker 6: breeze around, especially this afternoon the north northwest. And then
Speaker 6: as we get to Friday, still looks like the wet day,
Speaker 6: maybe some decent rain, occasional rain and showers around, but
Speaker 6: the highs will be in the upper fifties to low sixties.
Speaker 6: And then the weekend is going to be great. We're
Speaker 6: right near sixties we get into February, but the warmest
Speaker 6: days are yet to come early next week, low to
Speaker 6: maybe mid sixties Monday Tuesday and lots of sunshine. So
Speaker 6: that should have made you feel better. Case see one
Speaker 6: rain day and then the ends the book ends today Thursday,
Speaker 6: and then Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday. All looking great, feeling great.
Speaker 6: Pretty nice stretch here now of milder weather as our
Speaker 6: pattern kind of shifted now to a more maritime influence
Speaker 6: off the Pacific, more.
Speaker 1: Zonal west east.
Speaker 6: Blah blah blah. What that means is what you just heard,
Speaker 6: no chance of any wintery pre sip and above average
Speaker 6: temperatures at least over the next six to ten days.
Speaker 6: And I took a little peek further out it might
Speaker 6: last even longer.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, you know why it's so great because
Speaker 1: you've taken beautiful weather and you've also aligned it with
Speaker 1: days people can play golf on usually and not exactly
Speaker 1: what they're stuck in the office. It's this very simple formula, man,
Speaker 1: it is it is one or two. But yeah, I
Speaker 1: love it. It'd be great. Yep, very good, thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. There you go, race agic from the Weather Channel.
Speaker 1: All right, then I just almost threw to a break,
Speaker 1: which then would have caused Ross dispads out. But now
Speaker 1: we're taking this thing to the end at least of
Speaker 1: this hour, and then we're gonna chat with State Auditor
Speaker 1: Dave Bollock. All right, So I don't know, maybe I
Speaker 1: started talking about this Ouiji board and that's what happened.
Speaker 1: I want to be clear here too, Like a Wuiji
Speaker 1: board is a tool, it's a conduit, but like it's
Speaker 1: the concept of opening oneself to something else.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm being gonna be completely honest like Markey, and
Speaker 2: I won't allow them in our house. Like I've I've
Speaker 2: listened to enough George Norri where I know that that
Speaker 2: stuff is evil.
Speaker 1: I believe in any of the religious concept you know,
Speaker 1: the the specific religious doctrine, if you have any sense
Speaker 1: of spirituality about.
Speaker 2: You, correct, right, Because you're like, oh, well, it's just
Speaker 2: like a board produced in a factory and a stupid
Speaker 2: thing that goes on top of it and that. Yeah,
Speaker 2: but you're opening up yourself to that, to that energy,
Speaker 2: and I won't Nope, Yeah, nope.
Speaker 1: Because let's say, let's say even none of it's real,
Speaker 1: but you're left unsettled by it, which clearly this woman
Speaker 1: is if, if it's real, how is that a positive
Speaker 1: experience for you?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: Why would you do something that is most likely just
Speaker 1: gonna make you feel really bad? Because she's she's talking
Speaker 1: about doomsday man.
Speaker 4: And I'm a normal person. My husband's a normal person.
Speaker 4: We have jobs. We're not witches, we're not Satanists, we
Speaker 4: don't do stuff like this. We started this as for
Speaker 4: fun in twenty thirteen, July twenty thirteen, we had nothing
Speaker 4: else to do. We got on a wigi board for
Speaker 4: fun and it just kind of took off from there
Speaker 4: and we have continued to talk to it. And I
Speaker 4: should also say we are not We're not like super
Speaker 4: smart people, right, We're not like geniuses. But this thing
Speaker 4: kind of seems like it is. Let me show you.
Speaker 4: So it does stuff like speak in binary by speak,
Speaker 4: I mean, you know, it's giving us ones and zeros
Speaker 4: to write down on the Ouiji board. I'm recording this
Speaker 4: and in the moment we have no idea of what
Speaker 4: this means. We googled it later. This is again July
Speaker 4: twenty thirteen, and it turns out it's binary, but it's
Speaker 4: backwards binary, so in this way it meant nothing. But
Speaker 4: when we reverse the numbers it meant hello because it
Speaker 4: does that a lot. It speaks backwards a lot.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, that dude, that's super weird. That is
Speaker 2: so weird.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but here's the thing. You know that my probably
Speaker 1: my favorite genre of movies is I love horror movies.
Speaker 1: Love horror movies, man. And although I don't like necessarily,
Speaker 1: I don't like the slasher ones, give me some, give
Speaker 1: me some supernatural there, give me some of that anytime.
Speaker 1: There's a gazillion Exorcist movies. Most of the things she
Speaker 1: talks about are in movies, including a reference to a
Speaker 1: demon called seven, talking about arch demons and stuff. But
Speaker 1: that's another thing. What were we gonna say? I'm sorry? Right?
Speaker 2: Like you like the suspense, right, not like the hostile
Speaker 2: type stuff.
Speaker 1: Well, I like the movie Hostile, but for different reasons,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean?
Speaker 2: Right, So it's it's either in a very very elaborate ruse,
Speaker 2: which is possible, or a demon coming through the Ouiji board.
Speaker 6: Or or.
Speaker 1: I did she like she didn't disclose everything the demon
Speaker 1: told her to do, Like maybe the demon convinced her
Speaker 1: to pretend it's her husband's birthday every day of the year.
Speaker 2: Do you kind of so you think the husband is
Speaker 2: like speaking backwards binary on the Ouiji board in other
Speaker 2: languages as well.
Speaker 1: Hey, man, if if you're at if you want the prize,
Speaker 1: you got to put in the work, So.
Speaker 2: Just do the dishes.
Speaker 1: Man, he's like, oh, how can I get this thing
Speaker 1: that I want? I'm gonna learn Samerian backwards?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Right, Oh, why does it keep telling me to invite
Speaker 1: my sister over? What's up with that?
Speaker 4: So it speaks also in backwards languages that we don't speak.
Speaker 4: We don't speak it forwards, we don't speak it backwards.
Speaker 4: This is I believe it was Latin. I believe it
Speaker 4: means salutations or something like that. I have again, I
Speaker 4: have all the details in my Google doc.
Speaker 1: That's another By the way, I'm not going to play
Speaker 1: this whole cut here. This that's another trope man, where
Speaker 1: it's like, wait, you get one of these things and
Speaker 1: then the spirit from beyond is speaking, but they always
Speaker 1: sound like an upity nineteen hundred's englishman salutations, right, It's
Speaker 1: it's weird stuff. Weird.
Speaker 4: Just goes on to say contact two.
Speaker 1: All right, here's what I want. Let's get to the
Speaker 1: end of the world.
Speaker 4: Shall we goes on to say Contact two succeeded eighteen thousand,
Speaker 4: five hundred and thirty four days ago, which was August.
Speaker 4: I think that's seventeenth, nineteen sixty two. I think that
Speaker 4: had something to do with JFK and the Bay of Pigs.
Speaker 4: We have JFK, but historically Contact three, that's US fails
Speaker 4: twenty nine thousand, one hundred and forty nine days after
Speaker 4: Contact one, four thousand, three hundred and twenty four days
Speaker 4: in your future, which is May twenty seventh, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so all that to say that her Ouiji
Speaker 1: board or her horny husband, it's going to be end
Speaker 1: of May.
Speaker 2: So as believe as this all sounds right, the factor
Speaker 2: mains the Buffalo Bills are going to win the Super
Speaker 2: Bowl in twenty twenty six. So I don't believe anything
Speaker 2: she's saying.
Speaker 1: Oh no, what it speaks backwards sixty two oh two.
Speaker 2: So you're saying we're gonna win one in sixty.
Speaker 1: Two oh two. Wait, all this tracks sixty two oh two.
Speaker 1: I think Josh Allen will still be playing man win
Speaker 1: win is a win. Yeah. What you guys need to
Speaker 1: do is UH is not playing playoff games. Where they
Speaker 1: have refs with X ray vision so I can see
Speaker 1: right through players. All right, I'm sorry. I wasn't gonna
Speaker 1: go here, it's too soon, but anyway, so yeah, the
Speaker 1: big old buckets are crazy there, man, I saw that
Speaker 1: thing floating around. All right, here's some here's some non dema.
Speaker 1: Well maybe if you're if you're a hardcore progressive, you
Speaker 1: think this is demonic. Watching Catherine Levitt the new White
Speaker 1: House Press sect Terry yesterday again thought she did a
Speaker 1: good job. She didn't have a binder in front of her,
Speaker 1: yet seemed to know everything that she wanted to say
Speaker 1: and anticipate the questions and numbers and you name it.
Speaker 1: Knew everybody's name, far more impressive than us. As we
Speaker 1: talked about earlier in the show. If you asked Ross
Speaker 1: and I to name all the salespeople, maybe Pry.
Speaker 5: Not.
Speaker 1: P not a, notother personal just you know, we've got
Speaker 1: multiple markets. These thing's happen, all right, So let's get
Speaker 1: into it. And I really love that one of the
Speaker 1: first things she got into was the drones, the new
Speaker 1: Jersey drones. And this is crazy, man, because it begged
Speaker 1: several questions.
Speaker 3: Let's hear it first and before I turned to questions,
Speaker 3: I do have news directly from the President of the
Speaker 3: United States that was just shared with me in the
Speaker 3: Oval Office from President Trump directly an update on the
Speaker 3: New Jersey drones. After research, Instead of the drones that
Speaker 3: were flying over New Jersey and large numbers were authorized
Speaker 3: to be flown by the FAA for research and various
Speaker 3: other reasons. Many of these drones were also hobbyists, recreational
Speaker 3: and private individuals that enjoy flying Jones in meantime, In time,
Speaker 3: it got worse due to curiosity.
Speaker 2: This was not the enemy.
Speaker 1: Now the second part fully we predicted that on the
Speaker 1: show one thousand percent. As people were seeing this, I'm like, no, Well,
Speaker 1: the other thing is this is, if the drones are
Speaker 1: a thing, a big chunk of the more recent drones
Speaker 1: have to be drone enthusiasts flying around to see what
Speaker 1: the drones are like. That was totally predictable. Got it
Speaker 1: or messing with their neighbors or whatever. But the first
Speaker 1: thing she said, those are FAA authorized and it's for
Speaker 1: research purposes, which means the previous administration authorized those drones,
Speaker 1: knew they were flying around and allowed panic to ensue
Speaker 1: and then pretended like they didn't know. They could have
Speaker 1: just said, hey, it's a thing. And don't get me wrong,
Speaker 1: there are absolute legitimate reasons why the Federal U the
Speaker 1: US federal government would have an interest in drone technology usage,
Speaker 1: whether it is for as people talked about, locating a
Speaker 1: dirty bomb, got it far more efficient in certain situations
Speaker 1: than some of the ways that we do it now,
Speaker 1: especially if you've got to get really close. Obviously you're
Speaker 1: seeing in Ukraine they just did you see they just
Speaker 1: hit Russia's i think fourth most productive refinery. That was
Speaker 1: drones that did that. The whole thing is on fire still,
Speaker 1: so I've got it. But what the hell are you
Speaker 1: researching in New Jersey? You tell me you can't go
Speaker 1: out to you know, you can't do this on a
Speaker 1: military base or if you need to have a population center.
Speaker 1: We have giant military basis that have giant cities within them.
Speaker 1: I think there might be one moon just to the
Speaker 1: south of the studios here.
Speaker 2: Or were they researching, Hey, where did the nuclear material go?
Speaker 1: Right?
Speaker 5: Like?
Speaker 1: What explain this to me? And they they chose not to, man,
Speaker 1: they chose not to But she was a pitbull man
Speaker 1: and they hit her with those gotcha questions and she
Speaker 1: was having none of it. This with the immigration stuff.
Speaker 3: Immigration, of the thirty five hundred arrests ICE is made
Speaker 3: so far since President.
Speaker 1: Trump came back into office, can.
Speaker 3: You just tell us the numbers how many have a
Speaker 3: criminal record versus those who are just.
Speaker 7: In the country illegally?
Speaker 1: All right, So that is a setup question, right, because
Speaker 1: it's in either or how many of criminal records? How
Speaker 1: many are in the country.
Speaker 3: Allege with them because they illegally broke our nation's laws
Speaker 3: and therefore they are criminals as far as this administration goes.
Speaker 3: I know the last administration didn't see it that way.
Speaker 3: So it's a big culture shift in our nation to
Speaker 3: view someone who breaks our immigration laws as a criminal.
Speaker 3: But that's exactly what they are.
Speaker 1: They've all had a criminal record, and welcome.
Speaker 3: To the if they broke our nation's laws, Yes they
Speaker 3: are criminal.
Speaker 1: Yes, and these reporters know that. Pretty glad to have
Speaker 1: you a long And as we have been discussing this morning,
Speaker 1: there's a whole lot of changes, and of course everyone's
Speaker 1: freaking out in Washington, d C. With things like enter
Speaker 1: the word resign to resign or you're going to have
Speaker 1: to come back to the office or we're gonna start
Speaker 1: digging into these NGOs and figure out why it's basically
Speaker 1: a universal basic income for leftist politicians and supporters. So
Speaker 1: while that's going on, NC hasn't escaped this. And I'm
Speaker 1: not talking about past three dollars. I'm talking about changes
Speaker 1: right now. Two of our Council of State members made
Speaker 1: it a priority to when they entered office to attempt
Speaker 1: to remove DEI components from their office. One is our
Speaker 1: newest state auditor, Dave Bullock, who we chatted with here
Speaker 1: a couple of weeks ago. Wanted him to come on
Speaker 1: and talk about it. How are you doing this morning.
Speaker 5: Sir, Hey, good morning, Casey. How are you today?
Speaker 1: I'm pretty good. Just watching everything on fire. So and
Speaker 1: everyone freak out because you know, that's a license to
Speaker 1: different money for me. But I saw this. You who
Speaker 1: was I'm sorry, who's the other this state council member
Speaker 1: who did it?
Speaker 5: It's the commissioner Farley, Commissioner, Labor Commissioner.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you guys publicly said that one of the priorities
Speaker 1: with you coming into office was to remove the DEI components.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about first the size of your office
Speaker 1: because it's obviously going to be a lot smaller than
Speaker 1: say the IRS or some of these federal organizations that
Speaker 1: are getting the pub And what the DEEI looked like
Speaker 1: in your office, So bring us up to speed.
Speaker 5: Yeah, good question. Well, the State Auditor's Office is currently
Speaker 5: about one hundred and sixty folks, wrong, mostly made up
Speaker 5: of editors and accountants and investigators.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 5: Yeah, Well there's some page turners in some of our audits.
Speaker 5: But on another note, we're going to make those more
Speaker 5: exciting and interesting moving forward. But DEI is something that
Speaker 5: I've been an opponent of for a while. When I
Speaker 5: was chair of the board at UNC Chapel Hill, I
Speaker 5: made the move to strip it out of the budget
Speaker 5: at UNC Chapel Hill, so I've been a consistent opponent.
Speaker 5: I don't think it brings any return on investment to taxpayers.
Speaker 5: It's needless, it's pointless, and it really is divisive. What
Speaker 5: it looked like in the Auditor's office was. For example,
Speaker 5: if you are a team member in the Auditor's office
Speaker 5: and you're being evaluated for your job performance, there's certain
Speaker 5: metrics that were used to determine how well you did
Speaker 5: your job. Trustworthiness, helpfulness, competency on the job, you know,
Speaker 5: normal things like that, and then how how you managed diversity,
Speaker 5: equity inclusion. And I'm just not prepared to have folks
Speaker 5: that work in an office that I lead having to
Speaker 5: answer how they do with DEI a pointless measure with
Speaker 5: no return.
Speaker 1: In the claims on hysteria on the hysterical side of
Speaker 1: Twitter was that you're going to be in there and
Speaker 1: Luke's going to be in there. Fire and everybody is
Speaker 1: that true? Fire?
Speaker 5: As a matter of fact, matter of fact, we onboarded
Speaker 5: two people yesterday at the office.
Speaker 2: All right, well they.
Speaker 5: Were open slots, Casey and hey again at the auditor's office.
Speaker 5: We're not spending your money, We're investing your money in
Speaker 5: and getting a return on finding waste, fraud and abuse.
Speaker 1: Well, and this is the reason too, I wanted to
Speaker 1: talk to you because numbers, even though I can give
Speaker 1: you lots of examples where this has been exploited, numbers
Speaker 1: should be the thing least deiable. Do you know what
Speaker 1: I mean? Because two plus two is two, except because
Speaker 1: people with a straight face have explained to me that
Speaker 1: sometimes it's five. And the only person I used to
Speaker 1: data girl who had a master's degree in abstract algebra,
Speaker 1: and I asked what that was one time, and she's like, well,
Speaker 1: it's like a math prob with no right answer, and
Speaker 1: and then and then I tuned out at that point
Speaker 1: that's for you guys, she's in actuary. Now. The fact
Speaker 1: remains that all that you guys care about is the numbers,
Speaker 1: and and so why having it, why a DEI component
Speaker 1: would fit within that? This isn't health and human services
Speaker 1: with this is this is this is crunching numbers.
Speaker 5: Well, and you know, we brought the entire auditor staff.
Speaker 5: So the Auditor's Office actually has four regional offices, one
Speaker 5: in Ashville, one in Cornersville, one in Wilmington, and one
Speaker 5: in green as well. We brought the entire team to
Speaker 5: Raleigh Friday, and I had a frank discussion with them
Speaker 5: about my position on DI and how I didn't think
Speaker 5: that it brought any retirement investment and then it put
Speaker 5: people in a position that was not accurate. Number one
Speaker 5: and number two created divisiveness in the workplace. I didn't
Speaker 5: get any pushback from the members of the team because
Speaker 5: my point to them was is that I believe that
Speaker 5: everyone in the room was there because they're good at
Speaker 5: their job, they deserve to have the job, and they're
Speaker 5: giving the people of North Carolina value every day when
Speaker 5: they come in trying to hunt down ways fraud and abuse.
Speaker 5: And so that's the type of person we want working
Speaker 5: in the Auditor's office. So to your point, yeah, I
Speaker 5: want people. We're going to hire people based on merit
Speaker 5: and the value that they bring to the office, not
Speaker 5: based on some fantasy metric made up on a DI scale.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And what is more troubling when a government office
Speaker 1: was doing it, like the corporations were having their hands
Speaker 1: forced because many of them needed working capital throughout the year.
Speaker 1: And this component, this ESG score was created by activists
Speaker 1: and a CEO had to make the decision as to
Speaker 1: whether to put the DEI stuff in or maybe not
Speaker 1: have the company run anymore. But at the governmental level,
Speaker 1: it was purely a self inflicted decision. And there's another
Speaker 1: component to this, and that is the meritocracy after employment.
Speaker 1: And this is where I see people talk about, well,
Speaker 1: if I'm a cists white male, or if I don't
Speaker 1: tick enough boxes, why should I work harder? Because my
Speaker 1: chances of advancing are nil in some cases? And you
Speaker 1: want to talk about something that kills efficiency, that's got
Speaker 1: to be up at the top.
Speaker 5: Well, yeah, I mean, because what will be you know
Speaker 5: what I have found out. I will say this one
Speaker 5: thing that I have been really blessed with in the
Speaker 5: Auditor's office is I arrived didn't get a transition period,
Speaker 5: and we talked about that before I started on January
Speaker 5: the second. I have found a lot of people committed
Speaker 5: to doing their job. Quite frankly, there are many people
Speaker 5: that work in the Auditor's office that are not as
Speaker 5: much concerned about who the elected state auditor is as
Speaker 5: they are about doing their job, which is making sure
Speaker 5: North Carolina runs more efficiently and making sure the numbers
Speaker 5: add up. So we do have some really committed civil
Speaker 5: servants in that office. At least I have found that
Speaker 5: to be the case. Now, we've obviously going to make
Speaker 5: some moves and have changed some leadership in the office,
Speaker 5: and that's to be expected. But to your point, we
Speaker 5: want to have an opportunity in our office at the
Speaker 5: Auditor's Office for folks to earn their way to promotions,
Speaker 5: to come to work, to dig down and go the
Speaker 5: extra mile on behalf of tax payers get value and
Speaker 5: purpose out of every day's job, and they're going to
Speaker 5: be rewarded for that.
Speaker 1: I want to play you a piece of audio. This
Speaker 1: was the very first White House Press briefing new Press
Speaker 1: Secretary Catherine leave it. I love it. Excuse me, And
Speaker 1: it has to do with some of the stuff they're
Speaker 1: seen as Doge and others are digging into this. Let
Speaker 1: me play the cut first.
Speaker 3: Just during this pause, Doge and Omb have actually found
Speaker 3: that there was thirty seven million dollars that was about
Speaker 3: to go out the door to the World Health Organization,
Speaker 3: which is an organization as you all know, that President Chump,
Speaker 3: with the swipe of his pen in that executive Order,
Speaker 3: is no longer wants in the United States to be a
Speaker 3: part of. So that wouldn't be in line with the
Speaker 3: president's agenda. Doj and Omb also found that there was
Speaker 3: about to be fifty million taxpayer dollars that went out
Speaker 3: the door to fund condoms in Gaza. That is a
Speaker 3: preposterous way, all right.
Speaker 1: And by the way, those condoms is the Jerusalem Posts
Speaker 1: reported as early as twenty twenty, are then used as
Speaker 1: balloons to fly IEDs into South the israelitelhoods. So my
Speaker 1: question is because that's looney tunes. Have you seen anything
Speaker 1: crazy spill the teaser?
Speaker 5: Not you, I mean, you know, really the biggest thing
Speaker 5: that we've been doing right now, and I'll be just
Speaker 5: totally transparent with you, KC is I'm trying to put
Speaker 5: the team together to make sure that we move forward. Now.
Speaker 5: We have begun the audit of the Department of Other
Speaker 5: Vehicles and that is a Florida ceiling audit. One of
Speaker 5: the bigger things that I've had concerns about in that
Speaker 5: arena is the use of shelter trailers in western North
Speaker 5: Carolina and the inability to actually use these trailers. There
Speaker 5: were seventy to eighty trailers in Hickory, North Carolina at
Speaker 5: the Ickorymotor Speedway, and tilers have not been deployed frankly
Speaker 5: because they don't qualify as a recreational trailer. They're not
Speaker 5: a permanent trailer. But the zoning requirements have not been
Speaker 5: loosened up in the western part of the state. You
Speaker 5: can't put them in a flood zone. Everything's a flood zone. Now.
Speaker 5: You have to hook them up to water electricity, and
Speaker 5: they have to fit zoning requirements. So a lot of
Speaker 5: the emergency trailers that have been provided are simply sitting
Speaker 5: in staging areas and not being deployed. And so that's
Speaker 5: at least one thing that I've noticed and have talked
Speaker 5: to the Governor's office about it.
Speaker 1: How is your How is your relationship with Stein?
Speaker 5: That's fine? I mean I've known him for a while.
Speaker 5: He seems to be certainly committed to making sure that
Speaker 5: we rebuild western North Carolina. I've been surprised by that.
Speaker 5: I think he's trying to feel out out exactly what
Speaker 5: he was left with from the Cooper administration and looking
Speaker 5: to move forward. I have met with some of his
Speaker 5: department heads, his new cabinet members to let them know
Speaker 5: that we will be sending teams in to all that
Speaker 5: their departments. But you know, I haven't. I haven't had
Speaker 5: any any terse words with the governor one way or
Speaker 5: the other.
Speaker 1: It would be fine. It wasn't a secret, and you
Speaker 1: can tell me if I'm if I'm wrong, But at
Speaker 1: least the way it didn't appear to be a secret,
Speaker 1: and I think COVID had a lot to do with it.
Speaker 1: When the Council of State members were going back and
Speaker 1: forth over him reinterpreting what we all understood the law
Speaker 1: to be that Cooper didn't have a great relationship with
Speaker 1: opposite party member state Council members, and that had to
Speaker 1: be a net negative for North Carolinians. So how do
Speaker 1: we make sure that doesn't happen even when you guys
Speaker 1: have fundamental disagreements.
Speaker 5: Well, that's a good question. I do I have. I
Speaker 5: have seen a willingness from the governor to work with myself.
Speaker 5: I can't speak for the other members. I do know
Speaker 5: that he is UH because I was in the room.
Speaker 5: He's worked with the treasurer, the new treasurer who's a Republican,
Speaker 5: as well as Commissioner Farley on a couple of things.
Speaker 5: So he at least seems to be willing to reach
Speaker 5: across UH sort of the party isle to work with
Speaker 5: other members of the Council of State UH, and we work.
Speaker 5: We're working together currently on one project to help my
Speaker 5: office with the structure that the Governor's required to sign
Speaker 5: off on some things, and he's indicated that he's going
Speaker 5: to assist me to move forward in an expeditious manner. So,
Speaker 5: Governor Cooper, you know, I dealt with him occasionally, particularly
Speaker 5: when I was on the chair of the board at
Speaker 5: USC Chapel Hill, and if you just didn't agree one
Speaker 5: hundred percent with everything he said, he really had no
Speaker 5: use for you.
Speaker 1: Well, they came after you. They came after you and
Speaker 1: several of the board members, and then the students would
Speaker 1: go out and do a little wiggle worm protest out
Speaker 1: where you're in screen at you while you're trying to
Speaker 1: figure stuff out. Obviously, you know that was a tumultuous time,
Speaker 1: but Stein wasn't there. I have some disagreements, so you
Speaker 1: probably do ideologically. That's that being said. The relationship Cooper
Speaker 1: had with Council of State members, like I said, was
Speaker 1: a was a net negative. But that was during controversial stuff.
Speaker 1: And I think one of the controversial things is going
Speaker 1: to be if Trump well, I mean Trump said it.
Speaker 1: He said, no, we're gonna we're gonna put the we're
Speaker 1: gonna pass the dollars through the state side. Step FEME
Speaker 1: on this and as a working philosophy going forward, it's
Speaker 1: something that has been suggested. My question is that's got
Speaker 1: to create a whole new ball of wax for you. Uh,
Speaker 1: what what do you think of that? Because now you're
Speaker 1: doing oversight, you're doing double overside. On stuff on billllions
Speaker 1: and billions of dollars more than you're currently doing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, and we haven't even started with the Board of Elections,
Speaker 5: which starts my first Yeah. No, I actually agree with
Speaker 5: President Trump. I don't see the necessity in a huge
Speaker 5: government apparatus like FEMA, when the state of North Carolina
Speaker 5: and every other state in the Union has its own
Speaker 5: emergency management department, And instead of creating some behemleth of
Speaker 5: a government agency that requires yet one more layer of
Speaker 5: red tape to make dollars flow, why not just go
Speaker 5: directly to the states, give it in the form of
Speaker 5: a grant to the states, and let the states distribute
Speaker 5: it in the way that it sees it, and that
Speaker 5: the way the citizens need. My office is certainly capable
Speaker 5: of tracking those dollars and making sure they're not wasted.
Speaker 5: And we've begun that process with Western North Carolina. So
Speaker 5: I actually support President Trump in that effort. I think SEEMA,
Speaker 5: other than just writing a check and sending it to
Speaker 5: the state, serves no purpose.
Speaker 1: Yeah. And even if there's no waste per se, you know,
Speaker 1: nobody's scrolling dollars to the wrong place. You have if
Speaker 1: you have additional bodies in between. They still have to
Speaker 1: be paid, benefits have to be provided. So it's less money.
Speaker 1: It's less money for the state to duel out because
Speaker 1: you're you're in middle manager. Hell all right, I got
Speaker 1: a minute, and so explain you said something. We're going
Speaker 1: to get creative and how we talk about waste thirty seconds?
Speaker 1: What do you mean by that?
Speaker 5: Yep? Well, what I mean by that is that the
Speaker 5: Auditor's Office in the past has focused solely on financial statements,
Speaker 5: occasionally done for performance all this, and what I mean
Speaker 5: by that is we are going to work. In fact,
Speaker 5: I'm meeting with the Select Committee in the leg in
Speaker 5: the in the House of Representatives today on our own
Speaker 5: version of DOGE in North Carolina, and we're gonna look
Speaker 5: at agencies and we're gonna look it away to be
Speaker 5: more efficient. And the recommendation might not always be just
Speaker 5: to be efficient, maybe to eliminate programs.
Speaker 1: All right, And that's what I thought you were saying,
Speaker 1: but I wanted to make sure I didn't put words
Speaker 1: in your mouth. All right, Dave Bullock, State Auditor, appreciate
Speaker 1: the time this morning, sir.
Speaker 5: Okay, casey, thank you, my friend.
Speaker 1: All Right, there we go so we get our own
Speaker 1: little mini doge looking forward to that. We'll be back
Speaker 1: here in just a few minutes. We got lots to
Speaker 1: get into, lots more audio stick around. It's the CaCO
Speaker 1: Day Radio program, The CaCO Day Radio Program. Holocaust, rememberance,
Speaker 1: stay just happened. Let's head over to the UK and
Speaker 1: see how Good Morning Britain chose to point this out.
Speaker 8: And Charles will become the first British head of state
Speaker 8: to visit Auschwitz Berknal later today as part of events
Speaker 8: to mark eighty years since the liberation of the Nazi
Speaker 8: death camp. Six million people were killed in concentration camps
Speaker 8: during the Second World War, as well as millions of
Speaker 8: others because they were Polish, disabled, gay, or belonged to
Speaker 8: another ethnic group.
Speaker 1: So hold on, So because they were Polish, disabled, gay
Speaker 1: or another I guess she's referencing like Romani Gypsies and stuff.
Speaker 1: Is there anything? Is there anyone that left off the list?
Speaker 1: There a hold on, let's listen to it again. I
Speaker 1: don't know why I just said this thing went back.
Speaker 1: I feel like there's some there's a group that might
Speaker 1: be missing.
Speaker 8: King Charles will become the first British head of State
Speaker 8: to visit Auschwitz Berknal later today as part of events
Speaker 8: to mark eighty years since the liberation of the Nazi
Speaker 8: death camp. Six million people were killed in concentration camps
Speaker 8: during the Second World War, as well as millions of
Speaker 8: others because they were Polish, disabled, gay, or belong to
Speaker 8: another ethnic group.
Speaker 1: I feel like that four things doing some heat that
Speaker 1: Ross is. Can you think of any other groups that
Speaker 1: were targeted at Auschwitz?
Speaker 2: I would say Catholic, but that was a lot of
Speaker 2: the Polish as well. So oh yeah, Catholic that yeah,
Speaker 2: are you missing one?
Speaker 1: Yeah? I yeah, there's something there.
Speaker 2: Gypsies.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I said Romani Gypsies. Okay, yeah, no,
Speaker 1: I pointed that pointed that one out there. We may
Speaker 1: never know if we watch Good Morning Britain the jew
Speaker 1: the Jews. Perhaps, Ah, that's what you doing, That's what
Speaker 1: it is. Yeah, weird that you didn't mention that at all.
Speaker 1: I mean, holy hell, what are we doing here? Is
Speaker 1: that conscious? And she like did she feel it rolls
Speaker 1: in with the other I mean, obviously that's that was
Speaker 1: the reason for the season. You know what I'm saying, Like,
Speaker 1: if you do you do any bit of research, especially.
Speaker 2: So you're saying the other people did not die. Is
Speaker 2: that what you're saying?
Speaker 1: No, No, so you're saying that it's not what I
Speaker 1: That's not what I said. That's I said. She's an idiot,
Speaker 1: And okay, we'll just yeah, leave it right there. Speaking
Speaker 1: of idiots, Acosta Lavista.
Speaker 9: Just wanted to end today's show by thanking all of
Speaker 9: the wonderful people who work behind the scenes at this network.
Speaker 9: You may have seen some reports about me and the show,
Speaker 9: and after giving all of this some careful consideration and
Speaker 9: weigh and alternative time slot seeing an offer of me,
Speaker 9: I've decided to move on. I am grateful to CNN
Speaker 9: for the nearly eighteen years I've spent here doing the news.
Speaker 9: People often ask me if the highlight of my career
Speaker 9: at CNN was at the White House covering Donald Trump. Actually, no,
Speaker 9: that moment came here when I covered four President of
Speaker 9: Barack Obama's trip to Cuba in twenty sixteen and had
Speaker 9: the chance to question the dictator there, Astro about the
Speaker 9: islands political prisoners. As the son of a Cuban refugee,
Speaker 9: I took home this lesson. It is never a good
Speaker 9: time to bow down to a tyrant. I've always believed
Speaker 9: it's the job of the press to hold power to account.
Speaker 9: I've always tried to do that here at CNN, and
Speaker 9: I plan on doing all of that in the future.
Speaker 9: One final message, don't give into the lies. Don't give
Speaker 9: into the fear. Hold on to the truth and to hope.
Speaker 9: Even if you have to get out your phone, record
Speaker 9: that message. I will not give into the lies. I
Speaker 9: will not give into the fear. Post it on your
Speaker 9: social media so people can hear from you too. I'll
Speaker 9: have more to say about my plans in the coming days,
Speaker 9: but until then, I want to thank all of you
Speaker 9: for tuning in. Has been an honor to be welcomed
Speaker 9: into your home for all these years. That's the news
Speaker 9: reporting from Washington. I'm Jim Acosta.
Speaker 1: Now let's be specific. So where they were wanting to
Speaker 1: move Acosta was Graveyard, but he would be able to
Speaker 1: broadcast from the West coast, so uh so, you know,
Speaker 1: midnight obviously is eight you get to the other side
Speaker 1: of the country there. He did not want to do that, so,
Speaker 1: like many others, he is off to do a sub stack.
Speaker 1: I don't know, maybe he joins the idiot crew over
Speaker 1: at the contrarian. Is that what the the dec All
Speaker 1: the cast offs from the Post are calling it, and
Speaker 1: now Krugman from New York Times, I don't know, but
Speaker 1: I also don't care, you know why, because you're you're
Speaker 1: possibly this smuggist reporter I have ever seen, and and
Speaker 1: I'm almost impressed that he's never really backtracked on it,
Speaker 1: you know what I mean, Like remember when he wouldn't
Speaker 1: give the microphone up, like and and of course all
Speaker 1: of the fake news and real fake news at no,
Speaker 1: at no point, even when his empire, so to speak,
Speaker 1: is collapsing around him where they're trying to move the
Speaker 1: graveyard shift, but they remember they moved him before, and
Speaker 1: he wasn't at the White House anymore. Like he's been
Speaker 1: summarily demoted for years because he's so incredibly unlikable, and
Speaker 1: yet he never let it get him down, never said, hey,
Speaker 1: maybe the way I do things is problematic. And just
Speaker 1: so you know, some of his former colleagues are on
Speaker 1: these apology tours. Chris Saliza, remember Chris Saliza, just as
Speaker 1: big as scumbag as the rest of them. He had
Speaker 1: to play. He had a whole thread yesterday. But it's
Speaker 1: also scummy, and I'll explain why outside of just what
Speaker 1: he wrote. It says I screwed up. Back in May
Speaker 1: twenty twenty, I wrote how Anthony Fauci had crushed Donald
Speaker 1: Trump's lab leak theory for how COVID originated. The CIA
Speaker 1: said over the weekend they now believe the virus leak
Speaker 1: from a lab. And he gives a little background there,
Speaker 1: but more specifically, i'll paraphrase this because it's very lengthy.
Speaker 1: He says, when when Trump was saying from China and
Speaker 1: Fauci was saying wet market, so not you know, not
Speaker 1: being weaponized in a lab or studied in a lab,
Speaker 1: gain a function in a lab. I decided that I
Speaker 1: would just believe Fauci over Trump, not because there was evidence,
Speaker 1: but because he decided that he didn't like Trump. He
Speaker 1: liked Fauci more. That's not how you gather news and
Speaker 1: facts on something that important. If you're not able to
Speaker 1: independently confirm it, you have to present both. You decided
Speaker 1: to take a position, and you also took positions. If
Speaker 1: I could just remind people that were not just a
Speaker 1: disagreement over the origin of the virus. You took positions
Speaker 1: and your colleagues took positions that people who disagreed with
Speaker 1: your facts were attempting to kill people. Okay, attempting to
Speaker 1: kill people should have their children taken away in some instance,
Speaker 1: should be fired and have their livelihood stripped from them,
Speaker 1: And Biden tried to put it in action if they
Speaker 1: didn't go along with it. So you didn't just make
Speaker 1: a judgment air on the origination of the virus. You
Speaker 1: openly advocated, and your colleagues and your guests openly advocated
Speaker 1: for the eradication of people's lifestyles, to put them into poverty,
Speaker 1: to break up their families, to ostracize them from everything
Speaker 1: and everyone around them. And you were partially successful because
Speaker 1: it destroyed It destroyed some people's lives. I'm not even
Speaker 1: talking about any of the medical speculation about either long
Speaker 1: COVID or people's hearts just stopping. I'm talking about families
Speaker 1: that don't talk to other portions of the families because
Speaker 1: you so engrossed them that you were right, and anyone
Speaker 1: who disagreed was essentially a murderer or a potential murderer,
Speaker 1: or not fit for society. And your scumbaggery doesn't even
Speaker 1: stop with your stupid Manaculpa here because if you want
Speaker 1: to go to his sub stack, which he promotes throughout it,
Speaker 1: you have to go. He tells you to go to
Speaker 1: his bio. If you click it, it shows you part
Speaker 1: of the article, requiring you to give your email address.
Speaker 1: Then you get part more part two of the article,
Speaker 1: but you don't get his quote unquote. I can't remember
Speaker 1: how he words it, but basically he goes through a
Speaker 1: bunch of stuff. You have to subscribe for that. So
Speaker 1: this piece of garbage got excommunicated for the same reason
Speaker 1: his buddy Acosta's hit in the streets and he wants
Speaker 1: to trick you into restoring his lifestyle with a groveling
Speaker 1: semi apology that isn't really even an apology. You can't
Speaker 1: hate these people enough. Sorry. See, Yeah, I was gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna scream about Tom Tillis. Don't worry, that'll be
Speaker 1: coming up at first race stagic. He's got good news.
Speaker 1: So happy time is race stagic here. Yeah, let's bring
Speaker 1: the happy. Yeah, not much bring the joy as the
Speaker 1: last election, which didn't work so well.
Speaker 6: The joy is yeah, the joy is in what we've
Speaker 6: got and what we're going to be getting. I mean,
Speaker 6: don't really be too concerned about the rain threat Friday.
Speaker 6: I mean, yeah, some rain, but they're believe it or not.
Speaker 6: There is a special statement out from the Weather Service
Speaker 6: about the abnormally dry conditions that they issued today, so
Speaker 6: actually an increased fire danger through this evening, so dry
Speaker 6: weather day. Most of us up probably mid upper sixties,
Speaker 6: so some pretty mild weather but not even close to
Speaker 6: record warmth. Got a stiff west breeze tonight in the thirties. Tomorrow,
Speaker 6: still hovering around sixty. Most of us will probably fall
Speaker 6: just short, but we will stay well above normal with
Speaker 6: the showers coming in and getting a little warmer Friday
Speaker 6: as this quick little clipper type system pushes through. It's
Speaker 6: gonna be a fast mover. Mid to upper sixties on Friday.
Speaker 6: Weekend's going to be great, upper fifties, lots of sunshine,
Speaker 6: and then back up near seventy for the Triangle on Monday,
Speaker 6: try it probably upper sixties and we'll keep the sixties
Speaker 6: together even into Tuesday.
Speaker 1: So it's all good.
Speaker 6: It's all above average, except Friday. Friday's a day where
Speaker 6: we'll see most of our rainfall. That's probably gonna start
Speaker 6: late morning and into the afternoon.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it. There you go.
Speaker 1: We got Jeff Oh by the way, just real quick.
Speaker 1: The reason I said it's say half apology is because
Speaker 1: Saliza writes things like it now appears that reality TV
Speaker 1: star turn President was right and Fauci was wrong. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't see you categorizing Fauci as somebody who's a
Speaker 1: promoter of game and function research. And it's not that
Speaker 1: he's a real TV show turned present. He's a president.
Speaker 1: And it never dawned upon you though, when he was
Speaker 1: telling you that he believed it to be a lab leak,
Speaker 1: that he might be privty information that you are not.
Speaker 1: You never thought about that, which is insane. We'll be back.
Speaker 10: Good morning, Casey. It is decision day for the Federal Reserve.
Speaker 10: Economists have no doubts that interest rates will be left unchanged.
Speaker 10: One expert said it is the most predictable no change
Speaker 10: in recent years. But there is a lot of interest
Speaker 10: in what chaired Jerome Powell will have to say about rates,
Speaker 10: the economy, and potential new tariffs. He'll be meeting with
Speaker 10: reporters at two thirty this afternoon. Federal rules concerning vehicles
Speaker 10: fuel economy will get a rewrite. New Transportation Secretary Jean
Speaker 10: Duffy hit the ground running. He issued orders that cafe
Speaker 10: standards implemented under the Biden administration be rescinded or replaced.
Speaker 10: President Trump has said the old regulations amounted to an
Speaker 10: electric vehicle mandate. Federal workers you don't want to return
Speaker 10: to their offices full time are being given an option
Speaker 10: by the Trump administration. The White House wants a more streamlined,
Speaker 10: flexible workforce, and employees who don't want to comply with
Speaker 10: the return to office director a directive are being offered buyouts.
Speaker 10: They must resign, though by a week from tomorrow they'll
Speaker 10: walk away with about eight months pay. There are signs
Speaker 10: that things started to improve at Starbucks after Brian Nickel
Speaker 10: took over as CEO and ordered a series of changes.
Speaker 10: Same store sales still fell in the latest quarter, but
Speaker 10: not by as much as in the prior quarter. Nichol
Speaker 10: has worked to streamline menus and speed up service Starbucks shops.
Speaker 10: He did away with extra charges for non dairy milk,
Speaker 10: and he discouraged non customers who like to hang out
Speaker 10: at the coffee shops without buying anything.
Speaker 1: It's ho hum.
Speaker 10: Another Super Bowl featuring the Kansas City Chiefs. Ticket sellers
Speaker 10: say tickets to the big Game in New Orleans can
Speaker 10: be had for a lot less than what fans paid
Speaker 10: last year. Not to say that seats are cheap. The
Speaker 10: least expensive ones are going for more than five thousand dollars,
Speaker 10: but that is down thirty seven percent from a year ago.
Speaker 10: But while ticket prices to watch the Super Bowl in
Speaker 10: person maybe down, this year, advertisers are paying record prices
Speaker 10: to reach fans will be watching on TV. Casey sources
Speaker 10: say the most expensive thirty second spots are going for
Speaker 10: more than eight million dollars this year.
Speaker 1: Well, I guess we won't be running a show promo. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, thank you, Jeff, appreciate it, all right, have
Speaker 1: a good day. Oh man. Yeah, they'll get Pro Bowl
Speaker 1: and Sandy that nobody cares about. So we got a
Speaker 1: couple of weeks, all right, real quickly, don't worry. I'm
Speaker 1: I'll be getting into this more and more. But a
Speaker 1: rather interesting Wall Street Journal article appeared. You remember Pete
Speaker 1: hagg Sath's sister in law coming out with that letter,
Speaker 1: and she's like, I've been assured by some folks that
Speaker 1: if I tell my story. It will make it, make
Speaker 1: it so Pete hagg Seth won't be the Defense secretary.
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna say these things that he did to
Speaker 1: my sisters, and even the sister heg Say's former wife said,
Speaker 1: none of that is true. And yet it became a
Speaker 1: became a thing. Now it didn't cost him the nomination.
Speaker 1: He is the Defense secretary, and he is getting busy.
Speaker 1: That being said, now we know who might have been
Speaker 1: there if you, you know, pulling the strings on this
Speaker 1: thing behind attempting to undermine heg Seth. And according to
Speaker 1: Wall Street Journal.
Speaker 7: Tom Tillis, you know, I was starting to think maybe
Speaker 7: this guy's not the right guy for the job. And
Speaker 7: it's stuff like this that makes me, you know, once
Speaker 7: again point out that once the ball gets rolling on
Speaker 7: this Senate race, as the incumbent, the the the party,
Speaker 7: and the people who hand out the dollars at the
Speaker 7: state level, at the national level, and the local levels,
Speaker 7: you're going to be very hard pressed to change their
Speaker 7: mind because and they will tell you, we don't want to.
Speaker 1: Lose the seat. Now's the time to make the switch.
Speaker 1: We have enough time. We have a pretty good idea
Speaker 1: who the opponent's going to be or at least a
Speaker 1: handful of people. I think Cooper is definitely in that mix.
Speaker 1: We'll see, But now's the time you got to send
Speaker 1: somebody up there that's not doing this stuff. And I
Speaker 1: talked to somebody who's kind of in the know on this,
Speaker 1: and they were saying the reason they're not going to primaries,
Speaker 1: Trump will probably endorse them. Well, my question is after
Speaker 1: this article comes out and it appears that in a
Speaker 1: statement until his didn't dispute the Wall Street journals reporting
Speaker 1: about the call. He said hegstays statement did carry weight,
Speaker 1: which is why I communicated my concerns to the White House,
Speaker 1: spent days doing due diligence and seeing if there was
Speaker 1: any first hand corroborating accounts of the statement. He continued
Speaker 1: that quote, he was not able to speak with anyone
Speaker 1: who provided first hand corroboration. So what he's saying is, yes,
Speaker 1: I may have pushed it along while I did my
Speaker 1: due diligence. I don't know why you wouldn't just be
Speaker 1: upfront about it. But then eventually I arrived at the
Speaker 1: decision in opposition. I think he was putting his finger
Speaker 1: in the air politically and I wonder if Trump's going
Speaker 1: to be a little upset about this.
