Speaker 1: You get Friday voice. I don't even know. It's not
Speaker 1: even me yelling at the Masters coverage. By the way,
Speaker 1: Justin Rose doing pretty good. I'm not sure how Boston
Speaker 1: Paul's doing, considering that's not who he bet on, but
Speaker 1: you know whatever, one day down of the Masters. We'll
Speaker 1: mix the music in at some point. But enjoying that
Speaker 1: sad let me let me say this sad news dude
Speaker 1: never wanted me to mention him on the radio, so
Speaker 1: I'm just going to use his first name since there's
Speaker 1: nothing he can do about it. Very bummer morning, though,
Speaker 1: So I have I had a neighbor. His his name
Speaker 1: was Gary, and I found out yesterday that he actually
Speaker 1: died in his sleep Wednesday night. So let me let
Speaker 1: me give you. Let me give you the the four
Speaker 1: one one on Gary. So, Gary was a veteran. Gary
Speaker 1: was an officer with the Navy during the Vietnam War.
Speaker 1: And Gary was also a Democrat. He was a neighbor
Speaker 1: of mine, and he was old school Democrat, but he
Speaker 1: was Democrat. He was not a Trump fan, but he
Speaker 1: also wasn't a TDS dude. He also didn't like Harris
Speaker 1: very much. And uh, he was just a guy that
Speaker 1: kind of fell into the group where we'd watch football.
Speaker 1: He was a Seahawks fan. He was from the state
Speaker 1: of Washington, and his he was literally estranged from his kids.
Speaker 1: This is this is the part that's bothering the hell
Speaker 1: out of me this morning, not because his kids were
Speaker 1: Trump people or any of the rest, because his kids,
Speaker 1: and he had two of them, and they're both obviously
Speaker 1: grown adults. Because Gary, I believe was eighty. I think
Speaker 1: it was seventy nine. I think it was gonna be eighty.
Speaker 1: So he you know, he would have been during Vietnam,
Speaker 1: he would have been late twenties. He was a Democrat.
Speaker 1: But his kids were such moonbats that they essentially disowned
Speaker 1: this guy years ago, which is which is just a
Speaker 1: wild thing. And I've never spoke about this on the
Speaker 1: air out of respect for him, but it was always
Speaker 1: one of these situations that bothered me immensely. And I've
Speaker 1: never met his kids, obviously, but about five years at
Speaker 1: the end of the Trump at the end of the
Speaker 1: first Trump thing, it was like his third or fourth
Speaker 1: year basically, And by the way, the guy would complain
Speaker 1: about Trump whenever we talk politics, but out of respect,
Speaker 1: he really didn't get into it with me. He just
Speaker 1: he just was who he was. And I don't even
Speaker 1: I don't know who he voted for. If he voted,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. But the thing that made it so
Speaker 1: sad his wife had died years ago from breast cancer.
Speaker 1: But he had two kids, a son and a daughter,
Speaker 1: and apparently they're so far left that because dad wasn't
Speaker 1: a flaming activist, they basically stopped talking to him. And
Speaker 1: I don't know if there's more there or not. He
Speaker 1: he just was a guy that was kind of in
Speaker 1: the periphery and would show up and we'd all got hey, Gary,
Speaker 1: how you doing, and just in his sleep the other day.
Speaker 1: And I literally just found out yesterday afternoon. And I
Speaker 1: found out because he actually listed me to like be
Speaker 1: one of the people to figure out what now, and
Speaker 1: he never mentioned that to me, So I found out
Speaker 1: because the guy who lives right next door to him
Speaker 1: was basically listed as his emergency contact. So he didn't
Speaker 1: have anybody. And I don't know how to feel about it,
Speaker 1: because I gotta tell you, Gary was also a little much.
Speaker 1: He was a little much because he come down and
Speaker 1: he just he always wanted to pick a fight over
Speaker 1: not a physical fight, but like a verbal fight to
Speaker 1: get everyone spar and over whatever sporting event we were watching.
Speaker 1: We all welcomed Gary down there, but it was one
Speaker 1: of those things where it was a little like if
Speaker 1: I had to do prep on a Sunday while we're
Speaker 1: watching football, I had to be like Gary, I know,
Speaker 1: I look like I'm here, but I'm not really here.
Speaker 1: I'm putting some stuff together. So but I literally just
Speaker 1: saw him, uh Saturday during the uh uh watching the
Speaker 1: uh the basketball games went down to kind of where
Speaker 1: I normally go down with the h with the boys,
Speaker 1: and Gary was down there, look fine, just boom. But
Speaker 1: like for for the five years or so I've known him,
Speaker 1: I was always like, this dude's right on the edge.
Speaker 1: He had a series of health problems, all that stuff,
Speaker 1: but yeah, just just like that. But and I, like
Speaker 1: I said, I've never talked about it on the air,
Speaker 1: but the dynamic that this guy pure Democrat voter whatever.
Speaker 1: Think what you want about him, but like the old
Speaker 1: school democrat. And it wasn't enough for his kids, who
Speaker 1: I assume are absolute lunatics. If that sounds horrible, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: But like, like I don't know if there was something else.
Speaker 1: But to just know that his kids were not down
Speaker 1: with him because he wasn't like willing to burn a
Speaker 1: courthouse or something is just incredibly sad to me. But
Speaker 1: again I'm not gonna I didn't voice this to him.
Speaker 1: I just went that sucks, man, whatever, let's have a beer,
Speaker 1: like I don't even know, and as somebody who's literally
Speaker 1: a point of contact the second though, versus his neighbor
Speaker 1: who is a friend of mine, like we're all waiting
Speaker 1: to see what happens when we reach out to his kids.
Speaker 1: And my buddy Robert, who is the his neighbor, I
Speaker 1: mean literally lived next to him, reached out yesterday when
Speaker 1: I talked to him yesterday evening had not had a response.
Speaker 1: So and again I don't I don't know all of
Speaker 1: the backstory, but I just know what Gary told me.
Speaker 1: And I did see a picture of his daughter and
Speaker 1: purple hair, the nose like all of it. So and
Speaker 1: she's probably in her forties, early forties, I think. So,
Speaker 1: just very sad. So to the extent that I can
Speaker 1: give that Gary never wanted me to talk about him
Speaker 1: on the air. That was like his thing. So you
Speaker 1: just get the first name. But there you go, I'm
Speaker 1: going to figure out rank and all that stuff. I mean,
Speaker 1: we never really got into detail. I don't even know
Speaker 1: what his exit rank was, and I don't fully know
Speaker 1: what the Navy was doing in Vietnam. I do know
Speaker 1: it was some sort of they would protect the mouths
Speaker 1: of rivers because he did talk about it, and then
Speaker 1: I asked him like, did you guys like blast Ride
Speaker 1: of the Valkyries and then have helicopters and stuff? And
Speaker 1: he would laugh, but he never gave me details. So
Speaker 1: but yeah, yeah, I mean it just it speaks to
Speaker 1: the fracturing that we've seen there and we talked about
Speaker 1: like literally during this era, and if if if that
Speaker 1: was the sole reason for the disillusion of relationships with
Speaker 1: father and kids, that they literally weren't militant enough, like
Speaker 1: it would hit home with me. Is there's probably a
Speaker 1: lot of that out there waiting. And I've talked on
Speaker 1: the I've talked on the show that the woman who
Speaker 1: I thought was literally my second mom when Trump got elected,
Speaker 1: basically cut off all contact with me because she just
Speaker 1: couldn't deal with the social media links. And I remember
Speaker 1: how much that bothered me. That's not even my kids
Speaker 1: and that's what this guy was dealing with. And again
Speaker 1: he was widowed like thirty years ago or something, never remarried,
Speaker 1: just so he.
Speaker 2: Was like a Kennedy Democrat and his kids were like
Speaker 2: full Antifa. Yes, so they were right. So they're like
Speaker 2: comedies and they're like, you're a crazy right winger and
Speaker 2: he's like, no, I'm like a tradition Democrats. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, one lives in Seattle, one lives in Portland.
Speaker 2: That I do know, you think the kids would probably
Speaker 2: end up feeling somewhere great when they hear the news.
Speaker 2: It's one of those things.
Speaker 1: Where like, again I don't know. I went I went
Speaker 1: over to my buddy Robert's house yesterday and we were
Speaker 1: talking about it because I had no idea I was
Speaker 1: listed there. And he texted me, He's like, hey, man,
Speaker 1: I we need to talk because Gary passed away. And
Speaker 1: I'm like what. And then we went over and he
Speaker 1: had literally Robert was his emergency contact for everything he
Speaker 1: had done some like three years ago. I'd been through
Speaker 1: some health stuff, like he didn't have any family, any
Speaker 1: family other than those two kids, like no brothers, he
Speaker 1: was no brothers and sisters. His one brother was killed
Speaker 1: in Vietnam, and that's it. That was the totality of
Speaker 1: the kids. His brother was Army infantry. And I'm just like,
Speaker 1: all right, because now we're all curious, what are the
Speaker 1: kids going to say? And Roberts sent them like with
Speaker 1: their contact send him, Hey, your father passed away at
Speaker 1: two o'clock yesterday afternoon. And at eight o'clock last night,
Speaker 1: I texted Robert. I'm like, did you hear anything? Nothing?
Speaker 1: So I don't know. I don't know, but yeah, exactly
Speaker 1: as you described. He wasn't a Trump fan, but he
Speaker 1: never was horrible about it, do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But he also wasn't a Harris fame. It was very
Speaker 1: disillusioned during the last election. But he was just he
Speaker 1: was just a guy. He's just a good dude from
Speaker 1: from what we knew. And you know, I felt bad
Speaker 1: from the moment he described that situation. But now now
Speaker 1: it really is in effect, Like what's going to happen?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it's been it's it's been bothering
Speaker 1: me all night. Woke up this morning too, and I
Speaker 1: was like, I'm on my phone. I'm like, did Robert
Speaker 1: text anything? No, I didn't see anything. So I'll hit
Speaker 1: him up after the show. But you know, it just
Speaker 1: it speaks to the experience a lot of people have
Speaker 1: dealt with. And I always like, I always felt raw
Speaker 1: about Cynthia, which is my buddy's mom's name, who won't
Speaker 1: talk to me anymore, just cut me off during the
Speaker 1: first Trump thing, And it always, it always hurt a little.
Speaker 1: And then I'm like, I don't have it so bad
Speaker 1: because that's what Gary was dealing with. And I can't
Speaker 1: even imagine what in the five years I've known him,
Speaker 1: every minute of it, dealing with that, and I you know,
Speaker 1: I don't even I don't know what it was like
Speaker 1: before then. But anyway, that's to the extent that I
Speaker 1: can do. I'm gonna respect his wishes and not get
Speaker 1: into the full details of him. But what are we doing?
Speaker 1: How did we get here?
Speaker 3: Well?
Speaker 2: It used to be like back in the day, right,
Speaker 2: like if you knew you were in vicinity, or you
Speaker 2: were hanging out with somebody who would maybe had political
Speaker 2: differences in the area, differing opinion, you would still be
Speaker 2: able to hang out with each other, but you would
Speaker 2: just steer away from politics, right, You just wouldn't talk
Speaker 2: about it. You can find something you have in common,
Speaker 2: like sprits or something. Yeah, and now you have these
Speaker 2: people where they're so politically active and everything is politically
Speaker 2: ingrained that sometimes it makes it impossible. But I imagine
Speaker 2: if these kids have any soul lift in them, they're
Speaker 2: going to feel like massive regret because you always think
Speaker 2: there's going to be more time.
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm not gonna lie, but for the last
Speaker 1: like I said, he ran some health problems about three
Speaker 1: years ago, and we kind of had I don't want
Speaker 1: to say it's a running joke, but there was one
Speaker 1: of these things because there was another older guy who
Speaker 1: would show up who was like, he was like he
Speaker 1: was in his sixties, but I'm like, dudes, like he's
Speaker 1: in his forties. He's a retired police officer. And just
Speaker 1: and then he just literally dropped dead one day a
Speaker 1: few years ago. He was at home, he was at
Speaker 1: George he was watching the Georgia Bulldogs. He was a
Speaker 1: big Bulldogs fan and I had literally seen him earlier
Speaker 1: in the day, had a beer with the guy and
Speaker 1: then just and the thing was, how did Gary outlive?
Speaker 1: That dude? Just because he had been dealing with all
Speaker 1: these health problems and all of it, and like so
Speaker 1: if I recognize that, I would think his kids would
Speaker 1: recognize that. But I but I never dug on it,
Speaker 1: and he wasn't very forthcoming other than a couple of
Speaker 1: times to just really line me out and was going
Speaker 1: what was going on? So anyway, there you go. Man.
Speaker 1: So you know, if you're listening and you got beef
Speaker 1: with your family, just know at some point it's going
Speaker 1: to be too late. Okay, all right, six twenty Hang on,
Speaker 1: he have a mystery. Do you guys want to solve
Speaker 1: the mystery? This sport it be answer could be amazing.
Speaker 1: All right, So the mystery is and I gotta stop
Speaker 1: the music because it's on the same pot. Uh what
Speaker 1: is Trump referring to here? Now this is obviously questions
Speaker 1: about China and everything else, but uh, you know, from
Speaker 1: a military standpoint, what's the US packing? And uh, Trump
Speaker 1: said this.
Speaker 4: And we're very powerful. This country is very powerful. It's
Speaker 4: far more powerful than people understand. We have weaponry that
Speaker 4: nobody has any idea what it is, and it is
Speaker 4: the most powerful weapons in the world that we have,
Speaker 4: more powerful than anybody even not even close. So nobody's
Speaker 4: going to do that. But I think that if that's
Speaker 4: what you're referring to, maybe it's not all.
Speaker 2: Right, a dude, we can still teleport people.
Speaker 1: Okay, well this is why I'm asking, This is why
Speaker 1: I like, is it space lasers? So Ross is going
Speaker 1: with teleports.
Speaker 2: I'm going teleport tation, shielding and cloaking devices. It probably
Speaker 2: has something to do with those tic tac things we
Speaker 2: saw in this guy.
Speaker 1: No poop lasers though, well.
Speaker 2: I mean that's like when you're really that's deep down
Speaker 2: into the basement. I don't want to get too much. Yeah,
Speaker 2: if you need me to confirm it, yeah, confirm poop
Speaker 2: lazers and snake chucks are confirmed. But primarily it's the teleportation.
Speaker 1: So we just one day. She's just stand there like, ah,
Speaker 1: I got those those dirty Yankees and then your teleports
Speaker 1: an entire seal team. That's what you're saying, Like, hey,
Speaker 1: it's a good theory. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I think people talking about people look at the Iron
Speaker 2: Dome and they're like, that's impressive. Look at that iron
Speaker 2: dome over Israel. We have shielding technology, an actual shield. Okay,
Speaker 2: plus we have HARP, so I mean we.
Speaker 1: Can well, so HARP at least is a weapon. I
Speaker 1: don't know that shields are a weapon right.
Speaker 2: Now, but I mean that's a good way to defend yourself.
Speaker 1: But is it.
Speaker 5: Though?
Speaker 1: How many Star Trek episodes basically involved their shields down to.
Speaker 2: Like twenty Well that's because they have shields versus shields
Speaker 2: and the same sort of technology. But I mean, if
Speaker 2: we have shields and the other side doesn't and all
Speaker 2: they have are bullets, we're gonna be fine unless they
Speaker 2: produce some sort of photon torpedo device or something that
Speaker 2: we're screwed.
Speaker 1: Why have you thought this out?
Speaker 2: Why haven't you?
Speaker 6: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't, so we have So I just want to
Speaker 1: be clear here. So we have shields, but they are
Speaker 1: far better than Star Trek Enterprise shields.
Speaker 2: No they're not. That's not what I said. I said,
Speaker 2: they do not have the technology to compete against us
Speaker 2: and start right hot.
Speaker 1: We have shields, yes, I want to be clear.
Speaker 2: We have the shield they do not.
Speaker 1: They do not. However, they have photon torpedoes.
Speaker 2: No they don't. That's my point.
Speaker 1: You just said if they have photons stuff.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and they I said they don't.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, pay attention, man, I'm just I'm just
Speaker 1: I want our people to be okay, so all right,
Speaker 1: so they don't have photons, so it won't be like
Speaker 1: Star Trek where within a few minutes or shields are
Speaker 1: at thirty percent.
Speaker 2: I mean, you heard Trump, he said, this is what
Speaker 2: he said.
Speaker 1: Okay, well let's listen again, because I feel like that
Speaker 1: isn't what he said. But let's let's test that theory.
Speaker 4: And we're very powerful. This country is very powerful. It's
Speaker 4: far more powerful that people understand. We have weaponry that
Speaker 4: nobody has any idea what it is, and it is
Speaker 4: the most powerful weapons in the world that we have,
Speaker 4: more powerful than anybody even not even close. So nobody's
Speaker 4: going to do that. But I think that if that's
Speaker 4: what you're referring to, maybe it's not.
Speaker 1: We're photons, torpedoes, more powerful than what we think. China has.
Speaker 2: Dude, dire wolf on steroids. Confirmed, we have dire wolves
Speaker 2: and steroids.
Speaker 1: I mean, that would be fun to watch.
Speaker 2: What do you think they have? What do you think
Speaker 2: he's talking about?
Speaker 1: That's why I'm asking played the music.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you got no thoughts.
Speaker 1: I honestly, I think Trump's just being trump man. I
Speaker 1: think he's being Trump. But do we have some cool stuff, probably.
Speaker 2: Because the Russians have those hypersonic missiles you've been hearing about.
Speaker 1: Okay, you're talking about the scramjet stuff. Yeah, most of
Speaker 1: the world thinks they don't.
Speaker 2: Right, right, right, But so it could be like a
Speaker 2: similar thing where like Putin is like, ah, we have
Speaker 2: these hypersonic missiles and they go so fast you guys
Speaker 2: can't even compete. And then Trump is like, ah, we
Speaker 2: got super weapons too. Stuff I can't even tell you about.
Speaker 2: It's crazy, dude.
Speaker 1: Right now, now, there are some notable, very famous things
Speaker 1: that we made the Russians think, So if you like,
Speaker 1: some of it was talked about in that CIA document dump,
Speaker 1: even though it was not recent, they just kind of
Speaker 1: resurged in the news where they were talking about Remember,
Speaker 1: one of you have to remember part of our strategy
Speaker 1: for many, many years and probably to this day, but
Speaker 1: for many years, especially during the Cold War, was we
Speaker 1: developed stuff, but we also literally tried to create the
Speaker 1: thought that we had better stuff that's known, right, like
Speaker 1: the Star Wars program, right, Yeah, under ray, a lot
Speaker 1: of this was under regular and they didn't like we
Speaker 1: wanted the impression that what we had was far more
Speaker 1: and why wouldn't we because, let's face it, we were
Speaker 1: famous for winning part of a war by having technology
Speaker 1: that the other side didn't comprehend until they saw it.
Speaker 2: Right, So like we have something equivalent to like what
Speaker 2: would like you shocked Japan with the atomic bomb. Correct,
Speaker 2: we did the similar thing in the late sixties to
Speaker 2: where we we faked that we landed on the moon. Okay,
Speaker 2: we had the technology.
Speaker 1: I knew somebody was going here. I didn't know it
Speaker 1: was going to be you, yes, all right, fine, but
Speaker 1: for real, for real, like we uh uh, I'm trying
Speaker 1: to remember what it was.
Speaker 6: I think.
Speaker 1: I have to look it up. You know, one of
Speaker 1: my favorite things that the US ever at least contemplated.
Speaker 1: I'm glad they didn't do it. They there was a
Speaker 1: real effort in the nineteen sixties to intimidate the Russians.
Speaker 1: We were going to send a space craft, not a
Speaker 1: manned one, up to the Moon with a nuke on it,
Speaker 1: and then we were going to nuke the Moon with
Speaker 1: the new, better atomic weapon. We had to put the
Speaker 1: Russians on notice. This was a real thing that literally
Speaker 1: made it through you know at the Pentagon, they're like,
Speaker 1: you know, through like studies and all of that. It
Speaker 1: was a CIA thing, and they chose not to nuke
Speaker 1: the Moon, which is good because then you know, maybe
Speaker 1: it floats away. I don't know. But and then you
Speaker 1: got to kill Bruce Willis. It's a whole thing. So
Speaker 1: like we you know, we we were contemplating some stuff,
Speaker 1: which is really wild if you think about it. They're like,
Speaker 1: all right, we're gonna just send some nukes up to
Speaker 1: the Moon and then we're gonna set them and then
Speaker 1: the Russians will see and they'll be like, ah, I
Speaker 1: don't screw with those guys. But we didn't do it. So,
Speaker 1: like it's not a new thing that we think about
Speaker 1: this stuff. But I don't know what Trump's talking about.
Speaker 1: All right, you military guys are what are they talking about?
Speaker 1: Come on, it's okay, you can use a fake name.
Speaker 1: Sure they won't come for you. Like I'm trying to
Speaker 1: think of the advanced weapons systems that we know the
Speaker 1: military is working on, like the Reil gun, right, that's
Speaker 1: a thing like the Navy has been and that's not unknown.
Speaker 1: I just don't know how well it works. But essentially
Speaker 1: a real gun, and if you don't know what that is,
Speaker 1: google it but very space ag so who knows. But
Speaker 1: he could also just be like, ah, this will scare him.
Speaker 1: So let us know eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 1: seven eight seven four. And if we do have really
Speaker 1: cool weapons, when can I shoot them? That's the biggest
Speaker 1: question here. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone can I
Speaker 1: shoot them? I just want to shoot them?
Speaker 2: What is it?
Speaker 1: Because you know, from an advanced aviation standpoint, our most
Speaker 1: advanced plane that we know about, we just like discontinued
Speaker 1: a few years ago, like that program is done, and
Speaker 1: I just think it's weird that there's nothing that surpassed that,
Speaker 1: which means there's something that surpassed that we just don't know.
Speaker 1: So maybe that's what he's talking about. What was that SR?
Speaker 1: It was SR twenty two, twenty one. It's not the
Speaker 1: it's not the freedom to Redo or whatever they call
Speaker 1: the stealth bomber. It was the thing that did like
Speaker 1: mock seven.
Speaker 2: Just think about that that we had the SR seventy
Speaker 2: one Blackbird, right seventy one.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm saying.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, during the Vietnam War, and think about how
Speaker 2: light years ahead of everything that was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, But so what I'm saying is like, we know
Speaker 1: about that, and that was considered our most advanced aircraft,
Speaker 1: even though it wasn't a good secret. So I refuse
Speaker 1: to believe that that now being discontined, that we don't
Speaker 1: have something even crazy.
Speaker 2: You know what I'm saying, It's all relatable. So think
Speaker 2: about if that was so far in advance for the sixties,
Speaker 2: imagine what we have now.
Speaker 1: All right, hold on, now, people are sending me all
Speaker 1: sorts of Okay, I don't think these are real suggestions, folks.
Speaker 1: I don't think we have super meth. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what that is. Let's see here, ROSI o'donne, well
Speaker 1: that is a weapon. I don't you guys are not
Speaker 1: taking this seriously? What cool thing do we have that
Speaker 1: I can shoot? This isn't about you or freedom or
Speaker 1: our defense. I just want to bust something at the range.
Speaker 1: How many of you guys have gone to the range
Speaker 1: with something a little unusual and you just know everyone's
Speaker 1: gonna be like, oh my gosh, we'll go that. If
Speaker 1: I take the Eagle to the range, people have questions
Speaker 1: just saying four forty four. I've had questions about that
Speaker 1: because it doesn't look like much. But we'll wreck your shoulder. Yeah,
Speaker 1: what do we have? Well, whatever we have, Trump's bragging
Speaker 1: about it. So I think there's that thing. Well, simultaneously
Speaker 1: crapping on Hollywood, which I'm.
Speaker 5: Here today, reducing the number of American films that can
Speaker 5: be shown there.
Speaker 2: What's your reaction to them now?
Speaker 4: Targeting cultural I think I've heard of worse thing.
Speaker 1: That's great man. Yes, uh, he gives zero fs about
Speaker 1: Hollywood getting whatever they won over there. I can't imagine
Speaker 1: how we got here. Oh maybe it's the part where
Speaker 1: a bunch of from Hollywood stood in front of the
Speaker 1: White House and you're like, yeah, you want burn it down?
Speaker 1: Why is nobody talking about burning it down? So we
Speaker 1: got secret laser weaponry of some sort, I don't know
Speaker 1: what it is. And he gives zero fs about Hollywood
Speaker 1: getting into the China market. That was a good press
Speaker 1: conference for me. Yeah, he's probably not in your corner there.
Speaker 1: I can't imagine why. All right, six forty six here
Speaker 1: on the Cacoday radio program. Coming up, we got to
Speaker 1: Pete Calender. He'll join us at eight oh five. We
Speaker 1: can talk future weapons or whatever with him. Also, aline
Speaker 1: deadline day for new ideas in the North Carolina legislature.
Speaker 1: Some good, some not going anywhere. We'll share those with you.
Speaker 1: And I have an investment opportunity that I'm going to
Speaker 1: run by you. Full disclosure, it's not a paid thing.
Speaker 1: I just feel like there's money to be made. I'll
Speaker 1: share that with you. Coming up. Hang on, very sad,
Speaker 1: unique situations where his kids stopped talking to him because
Speaker 1: he wasn't militant leftists enough, which is crazy because the
Speaker 1: dude was. He was a he was clearly a Democrat,
Speaker 1: and I've heard the Republicans and Democrat you know, like
Speaker 1: f family's not talking to each other, which I think
Speaker 1: is incredibly sad. But this dude was on according to
Speaker 1: his kids, the right team, just not enough. So uh,
Speaker 1: really kind of sitting with me here here today. All right,
Speaker 1: let's grab some phone calls. Charlotte, thanks for hanging on.
Speaker 1: Good morning to you. Hello, Hello, you're on the air.
Speaker 7: Oh my daughter, My daughter is a professional person, she's
Speaker 7: we've always been really close. I think your message is
Speaker 7: so important to people. I'm i'll be eighty three soon
Speaker 7: and she doesn't speak to me now, and we've always
Speaker 7: been close since the inauguration. It's it's it's it's really heartbreaking.
Speaker 7: And I just like that you played that message because
Speaker 7: I'm afraid when I die, she might have a lot
Speaker 7: of guilt. And please don't say my name though I
Speaker 7: don't want to make no.
Speaker 1: No, no, that's fine. But this is the thing too,
Speaker 1: And this is what is amazing. Your concern is not
Speaker 1: how you feel. You're concern is how she might feel
Speaker 1: in the future, and that is such a mom thing.
Speaker 1: So I'm so sorry you're dealing with it. Can I ask,
Speaker 1: because during the first Trump administration, were you guys still
Speaker 1: speaking to each other?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 6: Oh, yes.
Speaker 7: She used to call me all the time. She lives
Speaker 7: out of state, and we were really close. She called
Speaker 7: me and we talk over now or at least once
Speaker 7: a week, and if she thought I was sick or
Speaker 7: the weather was bad, heir, she called. But we were
Speaker 7: really really close, and especially since my husband died, she's
Speaker 7: been so supportive and helpful and really just such a
Speaker 7: good daughter, so generous and kind. But my husband used
Speaker 7: to say that she was brainwashed in college, and I
Speaker 7: mean she used to argue with him about, you know,
Speaker 7: Hillary Clinton. He hated Clinton, and anyway, she she shouldn't know,
Speaker 7: but anyway, how he felt, but.
Speaker 1: I'm so ma'am, I'm so sorry to hear that. And
Speaker 1: again the part that blows me away, and I thank
Speaker 1: you so much for your call is that your concern
Speaker 1: still is and I'm going to repeat this, not how
Speaker 1: you feel, but rather how you think she might feel
Speaker 1: in the future. And yeah, all right, thank you, thank
Speaker 1: you so much all this morning.
Speaker 7: That was really good for people to hear about.
Speaker 1: I hope so, because it's really emotionally stuck with me today.
Speaker 7: So I want to absolutely, well, thank you.
Speaker 1: You have a good, good weekend. Okay, I don't understand that.
Speaker 2: Can we please respect and honor our parents?
Speaker 1: I mean, unless there's some crazy thing and that I
Speaker 1: understand that, but like it's just it's so easy, man,
Speaker 1: it's so easy. Let me tell you. Both of my
Speaker 1: parents died when I was in my early twenties, within
Speaker 1: months of each each other, totally separate things. And even
Speaker 1: though I didn't have a good relationship with my dad
Speaker 1: because he's.
Speaker 2: Like, ah, I'm gonna leave, but like, yep, it hits
Speaker 2: you right, like why don't you just like one more call? Yeah,
Speaker 2: why don't you like to see the name dad flash
Speaker 2: up on your phone?
Speaker 1: I would have loved my mom living long enough to
Speaker 1: see me have my own successful show. That would have
Speaker 1: been amazing, But I never got that, so and there's
Speaker 1: never I don't even do you know that to this day,
Speaker 1: I don't know my mom's politics. Still don't. I think
Speaker 1: I know just from listening to her, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: I know, I know my mom's h You know, my
Speaker 2: mom is seventy five, and yeah, you know, she watches
Speaker 2: The View every morning. And the funny thing is she's
Speaker 2: more of a libertarian but doesn't understand it. And I
Speaker 2: don't know why she watches. She tells me why she's
Speaker 2: lonely in her house and she feels like the women
Speaker 2: on the View are quote her friends.
Speaker 1: Oh my god.
Speaker 2: She feels like she has to watch them every day
Speaker 2: because it gives her something to do right, and and
Speaker 2: it's very sad because her cat just passed away and
Speaker 2: she's alone in the house and.
Speaker 1: She and her so her friend's friends, her huge like
Speaker 1: her close friends, a lot of them are probably.
Speaker 2: She's said this to me, and it's she's like, you know,
Speaker 2: I'm She's told me. She's like, when is it going
Speaker 2: to be my time? She said, you know, all my
Speaker 2: friends are dead. Yeah, all my friends and are they're
Speaker 2: all they've all passed away. So I try to make
Speaker 2: sure I call her as much as possible. But we
Speaker 2: don't talk about politics. Even when I go home and visit.
Speaker 2: You know, she'll watch the view and I sit there
Speaker 2: and I'm just quiet and keep it to myself because
Speaker 2: it's not worth it. And we'll find something to talk about.
Speaker 2: We'll talk about the Yankees, we'll talk about the Mets,
Speaker 2: we'll talk about football, We'll talk about you know, movies
Speaker 2: or something or you know, I just don't understand that.
Speaker 2: Treat your parents right, because one day they're not going
Speaker 2: to be there and you are going to regret it.
Speaker 1: Let's get some phone calls. Let's do this, buddy, you're
Speaker 1: up next to go, right ahead.
Speaker 8: Hey, man, I I'm know I was supposed to be
Speaker 8: talking about discussed weapon, but look, I'm so onry for
Speaker 8: your friend. But it's a bad honor. He respects you
Speaker 8: enough to do it, Okay, to take care of his stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, all right, Well that.
Speaker 1: Means you've been a second in line, sir, So yeah,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter.
Speaker 9: He enough you do that.
Speaker 10: Okay.
Speaker 8: As far as off special weapon, I've been told people
Speaker 8: inside we have called a whole army of truck norse,
Speaker 8: so we're good, all right.
Speaker 1: That seems more useful than the stupid diary old thing.
Speaker 8: So yeah, exactly. Hey, hey you guys, have a good day,
Speaker 8: all right, And like once again, I'm sorry about your friend, okay, yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, no, no, I appreciate that. And again, and I
Speaker 1: don't mean this in a negative way. He wasn't really
Speaker 1: my friend friend. I don't know how to describe that.
Speaker 1: That's what's And actually that bothers me quite a bit
Speaker 1: more because I realize I assumed he had other people
Speaker 1: that were closer to him, So you never know what's
Speaker 1: going on with somebody. Man. But the whole kids thing
Speaker 1: always turned me the wrong way, and now it's just amplified,
Speaker 1: just like this whole thing just crazy, man. And also
Speaker 1: I had never really met anyone who was a Navy
Speaker 1: vet from the Vietnam War because you never really think
Speaker 1: about the navy right in the in the Vietnam conflict,
Speaker 1: because it's not like the North Vietamese had you know,
Speaker 1: a robust navy, but they were more like interdiction for
Speaker 1: supply line stuff. So that like because Russia would ship
Speaker 1: stuff in so they'd stop that and then you know,
Speaker 1: occasionally they'd they'd missile something I guess, but uh, anyway,
Speaker 1: so it was it was an interesting perspective, Jamal, what's
Speaker 1: going on?
Speaker 10: Hey, Casey, I just want to say this about the
Speaker 10: super weapons. It was real quick for going to one
Speaker 10: Diamonds Off Forever Man with the Golden Gun and Tomorrow
Speaker 10: and ne would die. Three James bamb movies that if
Speaker 10: you really look at them and look at the weapons
Speaker 10: they had, it is actually plausible and Star Wars. But
Speaker 10: when it comes to friend, this has been a problem
Speaker 10: ever since feminism has came on board. We've always had,
Speaker 10: you know, parents and kids who fell out, but never
Speaker 10: to this level. You know, people say, you know, this
Speaker 10: has always been the same, but never to the level.
Speaker 10: You have to look at the level now when it
Speaker 10: comes to me, when I was terrified of my parents
Speaker 10: and kids. We grew up in the neighborhood. You know,
Speaker 10: you didn't watch somebody disrespect they mom or disrespect they
Speaker 10: dad because you got offend.
Speaker 6: It.
Speaker 3: It's like you.
Speaker 10: Got offended if I said that me and Ross was
Speaker 10: hanging out and Ros cusses, Oh you know rock Okay,
Speaker 10: not lost I'm hanging out with my boy Steve, and
Speaker 10: my boy Steve cuss his mom out. You know what
Speaker 10: we're gonna do. We gonna check Steve.
Speaker 1: I had a friend who the stuff that he would
Speaker 1: say to his parents when they when they leave the room, I'd.
Speaker 2: Be like, how are you not dead?
Speaker 1: How are you not date to death right now? By
Speaker 1: your mom? And it was because we never play that
Speaker 1: game with my MoMA ever ever.
Speaker 10: And I will tell you something, when parents start respect,
Speaker 10: when the kids cap coming and go, oh kids have opinion,
Speaker 10: No they don't. In my house, my kids know my politics.
Speaker 10: And I had to do this for my mama. And
Speaker 10: I loved my mom and death and I love my dad.
Speaker 10: But I had to take my mama to go vote
Speaker 10: in twenty twelve when she was alive. My mama loved Obama.
Speaker 10: She did and you know what I did, because she
Speaker 10: couldn't write and stuff like that, I took her voter
Speaker 10: thing because we pulled up they did curts I voting
Speaker 10: I and now you know did thing you could vote.
Speaker 10: I had to write Barack Obama. I did want to.
Speaker 10: I wanted to pick Mitt Romney, but I won't gonna
Speaker 10: do that to my mama because I loved her. I
Speaker 10: had to vote for Barack Obama and Mitt Rodney in
Speaker 10: twenty twelve because that's how much respect and love I
Speaker 10: had for my mom. But know this, if I were to,
Speaker 10: if I was do some of these kids do today,
Speaker 10: blue hair, my mama will smack me to the floor
Speaker 10: and my dad would punch me to the floor. And
Speaker 10: I be a grown man. They didn't play that stuff.
Speaker 10: And what parents have done now they have listened to
Speaker 10: people who didn't have kids tell them how to raise
Speaker 10: kids and discipline their kids. And now these kids out
Speaker 10: of control. And I'm gonna say, I.
Speaker 1: Think they're in their fifties. I mean, these are not
Speaker 1: These are not kids at that point. Now, it's the
Speaker 1: tough thing for you, Jamal, is that you're not a Democrat,
Speaker 1: because you could still vote for your mom on behalf
Speaker 1: of your mom if you were, so yeah, switch it
Speaker 1: up so well.
Speaker 10: But yeah, see that's I'll be honest that this goes
Speaker 10: down back to the parents. How your parents and raise
Speaker 10: your children, because if you raise your children with the
Speaker 10: ability to disrespect and have disrespect seem as a disagreement,
Speaker 10: you don't have your child, don't have disagreements and my
Speaker 10: dad when he died, I was still scared of him.
Speaker 10: I was powering over him, stronger than him. He had
Speaker 10: his legs all cut off, he was an all veteran.
Speaker 10: I still wouldn't cross my dad. Why because he feared
Speaker 10: me to let me know, I will touch you if
Speaker 10: you ever cross me.
Speaker 1: That's right, that's right. You see that, you see Jamal?
Speaker 1: Did you see the video of that funeral gone wrong
Speaker 1: here this week where there they it's six pullbearers. They're
Speaker 1: carrying this this man to the grave and they get
Speaker 1: over the grave and then all of a sudden, the
Speaker 1: entire structure collapse. They all fall in the grave and
Speaker 1: the coffin literally lands on the sun. I think it
Speaker 1: messed up his leg. So and for a moment, I'm like,
Speaker 1: look at that, Dad just decided to whoop his ass
Speaker 1: one more time.
Speaker 10: So dead easyself and dead and dead went out. But
Speaker 10: it goes back to and I and I hear this
Speaker 10: casey so much to be talking to people. And I
Speaker 10: hate to say a casey. A lot of white Americans
Speaker 10: tried to bend over backwards to be accommodating for stuff
Speaker 10: they never did. The stuff they every white person won't racist.
Speaker 10: How do you think we got the civil rights news?
Speaker 10: But they have made the feel that they were, so
Speaker 10: now their kids want to act like they're in the
Speaker 10: civil rights struggle and want to do all this hatred
Speaker 10: toward their parents when white parents need to just sit there,
Speaker 10: put their foot down and tear their children. If you're
Speaker 10: talking about chief of my grandkids, for me, I'm gonna
Speaker 10: come over that house and I'm gonna show you what
Speaker 10: I should have did you a long time ago.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, that's that's the really sad part. The
Speaker 1: thing again, the thing and thank you for the culture all.
Speaker 1: The thing that just was craziest to me is it's
Speaker 1: not like the parent child dynamic was dad's a Trump
Speaker 1: voter and then the kids are but hurt about it,
Speaker 1: like the dude, the dude was a Democrat.
Speaker 2: No, but these kids are so far left that they
Speaker 2: see like even a moderate as a crazy right winger.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, And I don't even know what the trigger
Speaker 1: point was, if like he just wouldn't get into it
Speaker 1: or like threatened, I don't know. Oh, and now I
Speaker 1: kind of wish I had to ask, but I don't
Speaker 1: like to get into people's business. But holy hell, man,
Speaker 1: I look at this all right, now, I'm not good,
Speaker 1: by the way, because people are sending emails. In no
Speaker 1: way was I meaning to disrespect any naval service in Vietnam.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, can you show me a Vietnam movie
Speaker 1: where they focused.
Speaker 2: On We've talked about my dad service before, and he
Speaker 2: was a marine and he was he was deep into it, right.
Speaker 1: Well, that's the department of the Navy. I'm talking about people.
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, about my uncle, my uncle buzz
Speaker 2: who was still alive down in Florida. He was he
Speaker 2: was stationed on a carrier. He was in the Navy.
Speaker 1: And his name is buzz that's such a navy vet name.
Speaker 2: No, I mean nickname. Yeah, uncle Buzzy.
Speaker 6: No, no, no, I know.
Speaker 2: But but his stories are drastically different than my father's
Speaker 2: because he never really I mean, he stayed in the
Speaker 2: ship the whole time. Yeah, not to say he wasn't
Speaker 2: doing stuff and it wasn't important what he was doing.
Speaker 2: But a little different than you know, the experience my
Speaker 2: father had over there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, tramps sent through jungles, getting shot.
Speaker 2: Multiple times in the face.
Speaker 1: Correct, well bit, yeah, a little different there. So yeah,
Speaker 1: I just it's not anything, just because like World War Two,
Speaker 1: there's all this Navy lore and they focus on it,
Speaker 1: but knowing exactly what the Navy was up to, like
Speaker 1: the when he when Gary explained it to me, he's like, yeah,
Speaker 1: we were basically there to keep the Russians from supply
Speaker 1: lining stuff and a few other things. Makes sense.
Speaker 2: Did I ever tell you about why my dad went
Speaker 2: into the Marines? That was a complete accident.
Speaker 1: Can walk into the recruiting stage.
Speaker 2: So him, him and my uncle they both enlisted.
Speaker 1: Because okay, they were not drafted. They enlisted.
Speaker 2: They knew they were going to be drafted, so the
Speaker 2: odds were pretty.
Speaker 1: Now you get to choose your poison.
Speaker 2: So my father was an eighth grade dropout. He dropped
Speaker 2: out of school in eighth grade, and he had a
Speaker 2: really difficult time even reading. We learned later on he
Speaker 2: was dyslexic, but we didn't realize that until much later
Speaker 2: on in his life. Like you would see him writing
Speaker 2: letters and stuff, and his stuff would be reversed, but
Speaker 2: it was before those really like diagnosed the way it
Speaker 2: is today. So he my uncle went down and he
Speaker 2: went enlisted in the Navy. My father went down and
Speaker 2: he thought he he came back and he's like, he
Speaker 2: told my grandma, my grandma union gladys. He said, you know,
Speaker 2: so I I enlisted in the Marines and she said
Speaker 2: the Marines, and he thought the Marines was water, so
Speaker 2: he thought he would be I.
Speaker 1: Mean Department of Navy and Marine.
Speaker 2: And was like no, no, no, you didn't know. It
Speaker 2: was a complete accident. Wow, And then before you knew
Speaker 2: it shot multiple times of Etnam went in. You know,
Speaker 2: he enlisted and he came out of staff sergeant, so
Speaker 2: good lord man. But yeah, people were like, cause you
Speaker 2: telp that to people, You're like, you know, he enlisted,
Speaker 2: and they're like, wow, how brave of him to enlist
Speaker 2: in the Marines. I mean that's all. That's a big
Speaker 2: deal on him. Like yeah, it was a complete accident.
Speaker 2: But he's the one, you know you're talking about, how
Speaker 2: you know your friend, you know, seemed fine in the
Speaker 2: next day. Gone. And you see these like bigger guys,
Speaker 2: like you see guys that are like in their sixties
Speaker 2: and they're like super put together and strong, they've got
Speaker 2: that old man's strengthen one day and you never know,
Speaker 2: you never know, they'll just they're just gone the next day,
Speaker 2: and my father told me because he went through so
Speaker 2: many things that should have killed him. You know, before
Speaker 2: he went to Vietnam, he was in a tragic car accident,
Speaker 2: flew a corvette off a cliff and you see photos
Speaker 2: of it. And they said he would never walk or taught,
Speaker 2: that he'd be a vegetable. That wasn't the case. Went
Speaker 2: to Vietnam, got shot three times in the face because
Speaker 2: he had the false teeth and the upper part of
Speaker 2: his mouth. The boat went through the one cheek and
Speaker 2: came out the other. They said, if he had his teeth,
Speaker 2: it would have went up and went up to his
Speaker 2: brain and he'd be dead. That he fell off a
Speaker 2: breflected off Oh geez. If his top teeth were in, yeah,
Speaker 2: it would have hit the teeth and gone up to
Speaker 2: his brain and he would have been dead. But it
Speaker 2: went in one cheek and came out the other. So
Speaker 2: and then he fell off a bridge, fell off a roof.
Speaker 2: And he always said, you know, when it's your time,
Speaker 2: it's your time. And one day he's mowing the grass
Speaker 2: and just drops dead. Yeah, but it was it's not
Speaker 2: like it was his time ten times. Yeah, it was
Speaker 2: his point was, you know, when it's your time. It's
Speaker 2: your time, Jesus, you have no control over it.
Speaker 1: Wow, Now you'd never told me that story how he
Speaker 1: got it? You told me about obviously what happened to him.
Speaker 2: You see photos of this, this crash he was in
Speaker 2: of this corvette. It was his buddies friend's corvette. They
Speaker 2: dared him to drive around croga Leg blindfolded in the corvette,
Speaker 2: as you do, and he flew right off the ravine.
Speaker 2: And but he won the bet. He won the bet,
Speaker 2: all right, But the car just completely it doesn't look
Speaker 2: like a car, just completely mangled and destroyed.
Speaker 1: And then it wasn't even his car, So good for himps?
Speaker 2: Yeah, who wait?
Speaker 1: Did he win the bet against the guy who owned
Speaker 1: the corvette?
Speaker 2: I believe so so. I mean it's the guy's fault, right.
Speaker 1: It saw him. Man, you signed up and.
Speaker 2: You're like, there's no way anybody could survive that. And
Speaker 2: I think that years later he's in Vietnam like what.
Speaker 1: He's like, I got this? That's crazy? All right? Let
Speaker 1: me get it way, hold on, let me slip one
Speaker 1: moork call in here real quick, Yes, Boston, Paul, are
Speaker 1: you soberish? What do you want?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 11: Yeah, you know Rock's story there.
Speaker 12: I thought my brother was the only smart one, my
Speaker 12: oldest brother. He he his number was coming up, so
Speaker 12: he enlisted into the Air Force, ended up getting stationed
Speaker 12: in Korea and did a tour.
Speaker 11: Enough, all right, but anyway, we're not gonna you know,
Speaker 11: we would have found out what this secret weapon is
Speaker 11: if there would as a back to the future for
Speaker 11: you know, we know.
Speaker 1: There will never be. I think they've all said there
Speaker 1: will never be, and obviously it won't be the same character.
Speaker 2: That's a good point though, because if there was a four,
Speaker 2: it'd be fifteen years later, and that would be twenty thirty,
Speaker 2: so we'd know what weapons. Say, this is all sbielbergens
Speaker 2: the mechas's fault.
Speaker 1: Yep, you're still on the Neuston Thomas train there.
Speaker 10: Oh, look come on, Rose.
Speaker 12: Rose is seven under now, but by the end of
Speaker 12: the day he could be he could be seven over.
Speaker 1: Three holes look like he could hit a ball and
Speaker 1: then I don't know, man, its just it wasn't working.
Speaker 12: Yeah, you know, you know how you know how the
Speaker 12: masters is, you never know what's going to happen. Well,
Speaker 12: the wind can blow the other direction and everybody's shooting
Speaker 12: in the water. Look a look at Rory yesterday, hits
Speaker 12: it right on the.
Speaker 1: Green and all that the double bogie on fifteen. Yeah,
Speaker 1: that's his favorite hole. I don't know if you saw
Speaker 1: the stats, Like literally, he has the best stats on
Speaker 1: that hole of any golfer ever.
Speaker 12: Yeah, that was that was That was sad. Yeah, I
Speaker 12: know that was sad though.
Speaker 3: You know, you get an.
Speaker 1: Average on that whole of the new golfer to ever
Speaker 1: play the Masters, and I think I'd play minimum of
Speaker 1: five times or something.
Speaker 12: And it's just it's not even another thing on the moonbatch.
Speaker 12: My family's full of moonbats. But my mother, she'll be
Speaker 12: ninety four in June, never voted in her life, never voted.
Speaker 12: She she doesn't pick sides.
Speaker 1: Don't tell her about the nineteenth Amendment, so that'll mess
Speaker 1: things up. Boston. Paul got a great enjoy enjoy the Masters. Okay,
Speaker 1: but like people are sending me emails like, let me
Speaker 1: just give you an example. Here we go. My twenty
Speaker 1: eight year old daughter stopped speaking to me when she
Speaker 1: posted the elon Musk Hitler salute, and I pointed out
Speaker 1: that the story was inaccurate, and she told my husband
Speaker 1: she only talked to me if I publicly apologized for
Speaker 1: voting for Trump. I'm sorry, man, and again I don't
Speaker 1: know all the stories, and I've got a bunch of
Speaker 1: email this morning. It's just it's why. What is even
Speaker 1: crazier is, like I said, with the my friend Gary
Speaker 1: there is Gary was not a Republican. He was not
Speaker 1: a Trump dude. We just he was not. He just
Speaker 1: wasn't so far gone. And that that's the thing that
Speaker 1: kind of blew me away. His kids are sitting there.
Speaker 1: He's from state of Washington, like middle of the state,
Speaker 1: but it ended up raised. I think he raised his
Speaker 1: kids in Seattle, still live there, and or the one
Speaker 1: lives in Oregon when lives in Seattle. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: And but yeah, yeah, like I don't understand that. I
Speaker 1: don't understand that. So I'm sorry. I am sorry that
Speaker 1: you're having to deal with that, and I'm sorry that
Speaker 1: Mother's days right around the corner, so because I I
Speaker 1: just know that's going to be hard on you. So
Speaker 1: all right, Sorry, I can't read all of the emails,
Speaker 1: but I'm just blown away by the sheer volume I've
Speaker 1: gotten this morning. Like he ross you ever cut off
Speaker 1: somebody for politics. You're not. You're not the type of
Speaker 1: person that would do that. I'm trying to or cut
Speaker 1: off a family member for some sort of ideological thing. Family,
Speaker 1: I understand personal things, right, something happened personally.
Speaker 2: Like like like a close friend or like family. That's
Speaker 2: like I heard of mem that like I you know,
Speaker 2: I talk about my buddy Michael. We're complete opposite sides
Speaker 2: of the political spectrum.
Speaker 1: The Chapel Hill moon back.
Speaker 2: Yeah completely. I mean that nicely because you seem to
Speaker 2: like him completely. But no, it's what are you doing here?
Speaker 1: Man? Now?
Speaker 2: Listen, I've had people because of this job attack me
Speaker 2: politically over and over and over again in social media
Speaker 2: and being complete jerks, and I have blocked them for sure.
Speaker 2: But somebody personally a friend or family member.
Speaker 1: No, but you didn't make the decision. That's the thing.
Speaker 1: It's one thing if somebody's decided you're gonna be up
Speaker 1: your butt and just a pndon the like. I get that.
Speaker 2: But well, I'm not that type of person in social
Speaker 2: media anyway. I'm not going to attack somebody, whether you know,
Speaker 2: over politics. And I'm not going to be one of
Speaker 2: those people that just keep replying and trying to Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm not like a Pete calendar, right, he likes to
Speaker 2: spar with people. That's not who I am at all,
Speaker 2: especially in social media.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but also he wouldn't cut him off because then
Speaker 1: he'd lose somebody in the spar with. Right, A little different.
Speaker 1: Oh man, all right, well I'll be interested. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: run this by Pete two at eight o five when
Speaker 1: we chat with him. We got a few things to
Speaker 1: get into. Let me grab one other quick phone call
Speaker 1: and then you've got some audio for Yeah, Connor, what's up?
Speaker 5: Hey, Jasey, longtime listener here. And Hey, your mom would
Speaker 5: be proud, would I think she would say?
Speaker 1: I appreciate so yeah.
Speaker 5: So personal story. My own daughter and a good friend
Speaker 5: of mine her daughter as well. Both are twenty seven
Speaker 5: years old. We raised the girls, you know, in church
Speaker 5: from the time the doors rosen strong conservative family. My
Speaker 5: whole family is conservative, private school Christian school with that
Speaker 5: from the time they were born to the time they
Speaker 5: graduated high school. As soon as they went off to college,
Speaker 5: my daughter went up to Penn State. Her daughter went
Speaker 5: to u n C.
Speaker 10: Chapel Hill.
Speaker 5: Long story short, they both came home brainwashed. The friend
Speaker 5: of mine. Her daughter is now married to a woman,
Speaker 5: but came back brainwashed Black lives matter, you know hey,
Speaker 5: and I'm a q A. Carrie con Kill and Carrie
Speaker 5: and my own child was like, I can't believe you're
Speaker 5: carrying a gun.
Speaker 1: You know you think just say yeah, ross, uh, look
Speaker 1: who's calling on line ten? And secondly, man, don't get
Speaker 1: hit by the train. Okay, please don't get hit by
Speaker 1: the train. Is that what I'm not?
Speaker 5: But yeah, yeah, so again I'm from Steel carried and
Speaker 5: my own daughter, you know, criticized, you know, hey, you
Speaker 5: think you're bad because you carry a gun. I'm like, no,
Speaker 5: your bad.
Speaker 3: Horse's night.
Speaker 5: I'm here at line alone. I want to protect you guys.
Speaker 5: But the story is you go to college and you
Speaker 5: come back and doctor and doctor Navid and I love Jamal.
Speaker 5: I loved listening to him, but I believe he said
Speaker 5: somewhere on the lines, which is why I called, He said,
Speaker 5: you you can. You've got to raise your kids right,
Speaker 5: raise them, you know, somewhere along the lines. And I
Speaker 5: could be misinterping a little bit of what he said.
Speaker 5: I can't really remember, but basically, you can raise your
Speaker 5: kids right, and you can do all the things and
Speaker 5: be the best parent you can be. But ultimately they
Speaker 5: make their own decisions, and if they hang around with
Speaker 5: the wrong crowd, they're going to go their own way,
Speaker 5: like my own child and my one of my dear
Speaker 5: friends just gave you those two stories. I work at
Speaker 5: the hospital. I meet many many parents that are just
Speaker 5: like me, Just like that sweet lady that called it
Speaker 5: was eighty three my heart wrote for her. But yeah,
Speaker 5: we're not alone. There is a brainwashing in college universities.
Speaker 5: And I tell everybody, don't send them, send them to
Speaker 5: a community college or you know, if Dave Ramsay even says, hey,
Speaker 5: the only way you need to go to a university
Speaker 5: if you want to be a doctor or a lawyer.
Speaker 5: I just it's a brainwashing and I'll pray schn't take
Speaker 5: care of it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I will tell you the number of emails I've
Speaker 1: received this morning, and of course calls from folks that're
Speaker 1: sites like I feel horrible. I almost feel bad bringing
Speaker 1: it up because I feel bad for so many of
Speaker 1: my listeners that you're going through this.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but it is.
Speaker 5: True, a sad state of affairs, but it happens. And again,
Speaker 5: my daughter's twenty seven she doesn't speak to me. She
Speaker 5: has opposed to me since she came home from college.
Speaker 5: I mean, a lover a price for work.
Speaker 1: You know, we can restore married. No, does she have kids?
Speaker 5: Nope?
Speaker 10: Nope No.
Speaker 1: Since she's hope for you, I hold out hope for you.
Speaker 1: I will say this, I hold out hope for you
Speaker 1: that one day, if she has kids, it may change her.
Speaker 1: Because I've actually heard stories where, you know, once life
Speaker 1: got real, a lot of these differences got solved.
Speaker 5: So I hope that that's what I hoped too, That's
Speaker 5: what I hoped to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, well, thank you so much for the call,
Speaker 1: and uh do appreciate it. All right, hold on, Russ
Speaker 1: just told me something in my ear. So why was
Speaker 1: I say it was he calling to cancel? Why was
Speaker 1: he calling a calendar calling twenty five minutes for?
Speaker 2: He realized once he wasn't hold and he was here
Speaker 2: in the caller, he realized that he just got his
Speaker 2: times confused. He's like, I'm like super early and apologize.
Speaker 2: I'm like, you need to get off the line because
Speaker 2: the weather guy's going to be calling in.
Speaker 1: Oh that is true. Yeah, it's gonna be a thing.
Speaker 1: So so Pete just that he didn't have a clock.
Speaker 1: Now I got to bust this child. You're a radio guy, man. Look,
Speaker 1: let me tell you, a radio guy is always cognizant
Speaker 1: of the time down to the second. Because when we
Speaker 1: ask when things happen ross, what time do we go
Speaker 1: to break at the top of the hour? I am
Speaker 1: the normal person. Forty seven is yeah, right.
Speaker 2: Forty eight fifteen. It's when the bedkicks in.
Speaker 1: Is when the bedkicks in when it's hard out. Yeah,
Speaker 1: like we're down to a second. I was all right, Well,
Speaker 1: Pete's getting grilled, so that'll be fun. All right. Uh
Speaker 1: so we'll chat with the race stage a Karen, just
Speaker 1: a moment. What if it really would have to be
Speaker 1: on the phone. Maybe maybe it woke his thing. Maybe
Speaker 1: it was future Pete, Oh my gosh, the future. Yeah,
Speaker 1: is that part of the secret weapon? Could be a
Speaker 1: Trump weapon? That'd be great. Man, what a straight I'm
Speaker 1: so glad it's Friday. When's our vacation week? Is that week?
Speaker 2: I think there's three weeks away? Oh all right, I.
Speaker 1: Think by the way, yes, Oh you know what, I
Speaker 1: just realized I don't have to do the nerd holiday.
Speaker 1: Oh that's so great. Because May the fourth, Right, that's
Speaker 1: that Star Wars. Well that's a Sunday, So it's the
Speaker 1: week of that week, right fifth through the ninth. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I have my little calendar here, just just early warning
Speaker 1: for all you out there. We're not going to be
Speaker 1: here that week because Ross is he's is saving his
Speaker 1: fighting terrorist or something, or his wife is visiting her family.
Speaker 1: I can't remember which one. He said. So oh man,
Speaker 1: all right, let's grab raced Agic from the nerdy people
Speaker 1: who broke his his nerd toy. And now he's on
Speaker 1: the phone.
Speaker 6: So one of those days, Yeah, you should ask Mark
Speaker 6: what he thinks about that.
Speaker 1: Oh is Mark not pleased or yeah, well, you know,
Speaker 1: not pleased Mark Starling or Morning Ashville by the.
Speaker 6: Way, Yeah, I have a chat with him Dale also,
Speaker 6: But you know, it is what it is. Obviously the
Speaker 6: engineers here didn't move too quickly.
Speaker 1: Well, you got to put in the trouble tickets there.
Speaker 6: I did, well, I did, I thought I did.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, then it goes to the center of excellence
Speaker 1: and it's okay, I got a question. So yesterday you're like, oh,
Speaker 1: the Masters could have some weird weather. I w I
Speaker 1: literally I had the I have the CBS app, so
Speaker 1: it turned on. I could stream from like thirty minutes
Speaker 1: after the show to like, you know, six o'clock or
Speaker 1: whenever it ended. Yesterday, not a drop of rain, bro nothing, nothing,
Speaker 1: and like the sky was super clear. So what map
Speaker 1: were you looking at?
Speaker 6: Well, yesterday evening it was probably after play was over with. Well,
Speaker 6: actually I don't care because well I really thought that
Speaker 6: maybe it would be a little bit sooner. So yeah,
Speaker 6: you catch me there, But that's a big hell in
Speaker 6: parts of north.
Speaker 1: Northeast west, your chops. No, no, no, no, because Justin
Speaker 1: Rose went out and shot crazy and if weather he
Speaker 1: moved in and he would have probably a bigger lead, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, right, But you were happy though, right, That's all
Speaker 6: that matters.
Speaker 1: I was, dude, I wasn't just I have I don't
Speaker 1: form a motion when that's going on, just the beautiful
Speaker 1: part like I am. I am like a kid old
Speaker 1: Saturday Morning cartoons where you oh yeah, this is my
Speaker 1: adult version of it. And I'm ecstatic that I got
Speaker 1: three more days of it.
Speaker 6: So what good? And today you know they may run
Speaker 6: that same chance isolated showers thunder showers in and around Augusta,
Speaker 6: and if they do, go, you may end up with
Speaker 6: again some spotty hail. This system is really more of
Speaker 6: a hailer than anything else, and maybe some gusty winds
Speaker 6: and in some places. But you know this morning, are
Speaker 6: in good shape. Really, it's not going to be until
Speaker 6: we head tour it again in the evening hour six
Speaker 6: seven o'clock. So if they're wrapped up by then, they
Speaker 6: may or may not be. That's when these isolated storms
Speaker 6: will pop up. That doesn't mean casey it pops up
Speaker 6: over the golf course. Now we've got our share rain
Speaker 6: coming in. Occasional rain showers this morning, maybe a few
Speaker 6: thunderstorms today, especially later, we may get a little small
Speaker 6: hail and gusty wins, but not really outlooked for any
Speaker 6: significance severe weather. Low sixties today, showers and thunderstorms tonight,
Speaker 6: slight chance of showers tomorrow. Once we changed that forecast,
Speaker 6: I think it was like Wednesday of this week and
Speaker 6: we started putting the shower chance in. It's been becoming
Speaker 6: less and less for Saturday, but a cool though mid
Speaker 6: upper fifties and then back into the mid upper sixties
Speaker 6: on Sunday. Looks like sunshine. So really starting Sunday, I
Speaker 6: think we're going to go on a pretty nice run.
Speaker 6: We'll get into the near eighty degree temperatures on Monday
Speaker 6: and then back in the seventies Tuesday, with staying dry,
Speaker 6: and then sixties Wednesday and Thursday most of the next week.
Speaker 6: At least right now we know it can change. Looks
Speaker 6: pretty nice through Thursday.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Let's say I got a buddy who
Speaker 1: every I've been to the Masters twice. I got a
Speaker 1: buddy who every year does like a booth and brings
Speaker 1: all his clients on your own side.
Speaker 6: Oh wow, yeah, my my youngest is begging me to
Speaker 6: take her.
Speaker 1: But I was going to ask you, have you never
Speaker 1: been to the Masters?
Speaker 6: No, I've never been. I don't have that kind of money,
Speaker 6: and I don't get that was kind of privileged.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, so so what I was saying, you pull
Speaker 1: a media credential. But it's the word. This is very
Speaker 1: diva for all of you. It's the worst golf tournament
Speaker 1: to pull a media credential. It's the only tournament where
Speaker 1: your media credential doesn't allow you more access than the
Speaker 1: you know, the standard folks. But you can get in, well, yeah,
Speaker 1: you can get in, but any other tournament, you can
Speaker 1: literally go inside the ropes. But the Masters, they have
Speaker 1: such strict rules there. Yeah, the people's tournament that even
Speaker 1: the media has to do all photog video or audio
Speaker 1: from where the where the normal patrons are, which is
Speaker 1: what it's interesting. It's kind of cool. But I don't know.
Speaker 1: There's something about being able to stand over by one
Speaker 1: of the greens inside the rope that I do miss
Speaker 1: doing it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I guess not to try it some day.
Speaker 1: All right, thank you? There you go, raceagic on the
Speaker 1: phone because technology hates all of seven forty eight.
Speaker 6: Hang on.
Speaker 1: So I'm watching the Masters yesterday because again this is
Speaker 1: this is my week to not think about anything. And
Speaker 1: there's a golfer. His name is Jose Luis Ballestro Balerste.
Speaker 1: I'm butchering that, don't care. He's he's the high amateur though,
Speaker 1: but which is if you don't know anything about the Masters,
Speaker 1: the amateurs there, that's all. That's its whole thing, man,
Speaker 1: very cool thing. But anyway, so yeah, so he is.
Speaker 1: He just finished the twelfth hole, and I thought it
Speaker 1: was of his twelfth hole. The twelfth is this brutal
Speaker 1: part three And in fact, a lot of professional golfers,
Speaker 1: if you asked him to pick the hole on the
Speaker 1: PGA Tour or the regular courses they play that they
Speaker 1: hate the most, the twelfth of Augusta or the seventeenth
Speaker 1: at Sawgrass are generally the answer. Generally the end, both
Speaker 1: par threes. But just heinous, absolutely heinous. If you ever
Speaker 1: watched the meltdown of some people at the Masters where
Speaker 1: they keep hitting a ball on the it's called Ray's Creek,
Speaker 1: it's very famous. So this dude, he finished twelve, so
Speaker 1: he's going on, this is the you know, this is
Speaker 1: the turn on Amen corner there, and he's got to go.
Speaker 2: He's got to go, and I.
Speaker 1: Guess he failed to realize there were actually some restrooms
Speaker 1: near the thirteenth tea box. So anyway, so he goes.
Speaker 1: He's playing with Justin Thomas, he's playing just for Justin Thomas,
Speaker 1: and he's waiting for Thomas to finish, and he kind
Speaker 1: of walks down this hill to where Raysed Creek is,
Speaker 1: away from the gallery but not away from the cameras,
Speaker 1: and then he's just like, all right, this's my bathroom.
Speaker 1: And if if you know nothing about the Masters, it's
Speaker 1: not that shocking to you or like, I just assume
Speaker 1: golfer urinate in the woods, which you that would be true.
Speaker 1: But to do it at the Masters even though he
Speaker 1: thought the gallery wasn't looking. There's like high res video
Speaker 1: of him doing it.
Speaker 2: I would imagine too. Yeah much. I don't know much
Speaker 2: about golf, but that's probably frowned upon at the Master's.
Speaker 2: Rarely at the Master in the pond.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, if I'm golfing with my boys and
Speaker 1: somebody goes in the woods, we may screw with them.
Speaker 1: But that's not.
Speaker 2: Unusual, right, But that's not the like the most prestigious
Speaker 2: event in all of golf.
Speaker 1: But what's far more If I could just really gross
Speaker 1: you out, there's a can I tell you one of
Speaker 1: the most important rules of golf is, since you're not
Speaker 1: a golfer, rocks, but in case you ever accidentally.
Speaker 2: Golf, don't don't pee in the pond. No no, no, no, okay,
Speaker 2: never puck.
Speaker 1: Never pick up a towel that's been left in the woods.
Speaker 2: I I'm going to believe you.
Speaker 1: You know why, I believe there's sometimes it's not just
Speaker 1: number one, dude, I ever tell you the story of
Speaker 1: uh all right, So one of my buddies. I don't
Speaker 1: know if I want to hear this, all right, so
Speaker 1: you have to know everyone's hammered, Okay, I don't blame her.
Speaker 1: So And it's also like the worst black fly mosquito
Speaker 1: day you've ever seen. The wind is still, it's just
Speaker 1: a perfect time. So we are absolutely inundated with it.
Speaker 1: And he kind of goes in the woods and he
Speaker 1: fell going into the woods. And then he comes out
Speaker 1: of the woods and he has like a golf towel,
Speaker 1: which he didn't have going into the woods, and he
Speaker 1: has put the towel inside of his baseball cap so
Speaker 1: that it's draped over the back of his shoulder and
Speaker 1: his ears to keep the bugs away. He did not
Speaker 1: inspect the towel, oh dude. And now now the flies
Speaker 1: are like, this is the jam. So the thing he
Speaker 1: thought would keep the bugs away is now attracting more
Speaker 1: flies because he didn't look at the towels. And we
Speaker 1: didn't say anything right away.
Speaker 2: Well, what's his nickname?
Speaker 3: Now?
Speaker 2: He's got to have like a nickname that that's never
Speaker 2: leaving yet.
Speaker 1: Our radio buddy to the south, all right, let's talk
Speaker 1: masters for twenty minutes. What's going on, sir.
Speaker 3: I'm sorry, I but dialed you early.
Speaker 6: There.
Speaker 1: I was learning to get on my call with I
Speaker 1: was trying to get this amount of crap it's coming.
Speaker 1: Don't worry, We're gonna make fun.
Speaker 3: I was trying. I was, I was trying to call
Speaker 3: the globalist cabal, and I just I dialed the wrong number.
Speaker 1: I see, okay, And who's the globalist cabal? Is that
Speaker 1: your wife? I mean, what does that mean?
Speaker 3: No, I know, no, it's the people who tell me
Speaker 3: what to think.
Speaker 1: I'm well, I mean to be fair, I did get
Speaker 1: some emails, so no, I know you did, I.
Speaker 3: Got, I got tweets and such as well.
Speaker 1: Oh good.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Apparently what I learned what I had learned over the
Speaker 3: last week, which I actually already knew from twenty fifteen,
Speaker 3: which is that modern day politics requires complete adherence to
Speaker 3: every single thing that a politician says.
Speaker 10: Yeah, yeah, or else.
Speaker 3: You are part of the globalist cabal. Yeah no, no,
Speaker 3: I'm fine, all.
Speaker 1: Right, because let me just quote here, you are a
Speaker 1: secret globalist World Economic Forum CUP.
Speaker 3: Not so secret.
Speaker 1: That's what I got right after our visit last week.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I would say, not so secret. I'm on
Speaker 3: the literally on the radio, telling everybody what I think
Speaker 3: about stuff. I think that's probably the opposite of secret.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know it's secret to them. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: all right. So this is because just to bring people
Speaker 1: up to speed, as Pete is trying to dodge me
Speaker 1: making fun of him for calling dude, you're a radio guy,
Speaker 1: let me ask you a question. What time do you
Speaker 1: go to break at top of the hour. I'm going
Speaker 1: to prove a point here.
Speaker 3: Well, I start out at fifty seven. We've got the
Speaker 3: music that plays.
Speaker 1: Say anymore. The point was, if you ask a radio
Speaker 1: guy when something happens, he'll tell you down to the
Speaker 1: second right, So, my jad, my bad. Here at the
Speaker 1: as we're going to get out of the at the
Speaker 1: end of the hour starts at fifty eight to fifteen,
Speaker 1: and the arm out is fifty eight forty five.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So the fact that you're called the show accidentally twenty
Speaker 1: five minutes early. Are you doing okay? Are you okay? Yes? Okay?
Speaker 3: So yeah, so I have alarm. I have an alarm
Speaker 3: set on my phone, but I all see I do
Speaker 3: so like it alerts me, like, hey, make sure that
Speaker 3: you're you know, back in the back in my studio.
Speaker 3: Here so I can be ready for the live hit.
Speaker 3: But I have another live hit that I do, and
Speaker 3: I do that one. I call in at seven forty
Speaker 3: and so.
Speaker 1: I I just I forgot who you choosing me with?
Speaker 2: Who?
Speaker 3: It's not? It's not important? No, this isn't important.
Speaker 10: Mark? Is this?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: It's Mark?
Speaker 1: Okay, that's fine. I do a live hit with Mark.
Speaker 10: I know you do.
Speaker 3: See so like who's cheating on whom?
Speaker 6: Wait?
Speaker 1: Well, you never asked me to do a live hit
Speaker 1: with you, Mark, I do a live hit with it.
Speaker 3: I have been advised I cannot have you guys on
Speaker 3: my show.
Speaker 1: Oh seriously, I assumed it was something like that.
Speaker 3: And that's from your end, not my end.
Speaker 1: No, stop that.
Speaker 3: No, it's true.
Speaker 1: Oh it sucks all right. Well, we'll make the most
Speaker 1: of it. So I'm done teasing you with that. Let
Speaker 1: me ask you a question because we talked last week.
Speaker 1: You were critical of some of the tariff stuff, which
Speaker 1: is how I ended up with that email. In retrospect,
Speaker 1: how do you feel about everything that happened? Man?
Speaker 6: And so?
Speaker 3: Well, if you remember, and I urge people to go
Speaker 3: back and listen to it again. I thought I was
Speaker 3: very clear, but it's radio and I know people here, no, I.
Speaker 7: Know you're not.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, for this is for the vigilant against
Speaker 3: the globalists, which is that I thought I was very clear.
Speaker 3: But this being radio, I have learned that people hear
Speaker 3: what they want to hear. And even though I say
Speaker 3: things in order to provide nuanced and context, people don't
Speaker 3: ever want to hear that. They just want me to
Speaker 3: pick up a flag and carry it and wave it
Speaker 3: around and yell at people call them names if I
Speaker 3: am perceived to be quote on their side, and no,
Speaker 3: I'm allowed to have a different opinion. And so my
Speaker 3: opinion was always framed in the I'm a fish that
Speaker 3: doesn't know it's wet, right, I said that at the time.
Speaker 3: I have said that repeatedly. I have been raised in
Speaker 3: this economic model that tariffs are inflationary, they raise the
Speaker 3: price for the end user, the consumer, and they can
Speaker 3: prompt retaliatory tariffs and such and so this and then
Speaker 3: that leads potentially to shooting wars, right, trade wars can
Speaker 3: lead to shooting wars, and so, but I said, if
Speaker 3: this works out, as they are trying to make it
Speaker 3: work out, and they're saying that this is different model,
Speaker 3: which I have since learned. There is a name for this.
Speaker 3: Balanced trade is what it's called, and it's a theory
Speaker 3: that's been advanced for about the last like fifteen years.
Speaker 3: It is in opposition to the free trade model. And
Speaker 3: if this works, I said at the time, I hope
Speaker 3: it does. I want it to work, but I'm allowed
Speaker 3: to be worried about the impacts that it's going to
Speaker 3: have that are unintended, because anything GOVC does like this,
Speaker 3: there are always unintended impacts. That's why they're unintended. So,
Speaker 3: as I said, they better be right. That's it. They
Speaker 3: better be right. They're gambling with a lot of people
Speaker 3: and a lot of money, and so they better be right.
Speaker 3: And right now we still don't know. I'm like, I
Speaker 3: like the fact that they walked them back, which might
Speaker 3: indicate either strategy if you believe it. And I said
Speaker 3: this also, if you trust Donald Trump and you have
Speaker 3: a lot of faith and confidence in him, then whatever
Speaker 3: he says and does, you're going to be more likely
Speaker 3: to accept that as the explanation I treat these elected leaders,
Speaker 3: and Trump is one with skepticism that you know, when
Speaker 3: they tell me things, I don't automatically believe it. Because
Speaker 3: of who they are. I recognize they make an argument, Okay, great,
Speaker 3: is that true? Are there run attenic consequences and so? Right?
Speaker 3: And so the things that the Austrian economic model and
Speaker 3: the free trade model, fair trade and such like, these
Speaker 3: are things that have been adopted as the orthodox, conventional wisdom.
Speaker 3: And that's not to say that there aren't abuses. China
Speaker 3: has been abusing America since well since we started trading
Speaker 3: with them, and I said at the time, also like
Speaker 3: go after China. So to the extent that now the
Speaker 3: tariffs have been rained in. Whether it was due to strategy,
Speaker 3: which I think people who love Trump will say that
Speaker 3: that was always the strategy, But then there's a there
Speaker 3: was also an argument to be made that this was
Speaker 3: a response to the unintended impacts and the extent to
Speaker 3: which people were freaking out in the markets, particularly the
Speaker 3: bond markets. Right. So I don't know what's true, but
Speaker 3: those are the competing argument right there.
Speaker 1: Sorry, because I've given that the same thought that you have,
Speaker 1: and I have a theory I want to run by
Speaker 1: you where I think it was strategy. But here's time.
Speaker 1: Do you remember the erroneous report the day before that
Speaker 1: there was going to be a ninety day pause, and
Speaker 1: it caused like for an hour, They're like, this is it,
Speaker 1: and then the White House is like, that's not it,
Speaker 1: and they caused the dow to go up and down
Speaker 1: like a brig and roller coaster, right right. I think
Speaker 1: that was based on the fact that there was going
Speaker 1: to be a ninety day pause and they got the
Speaker 1: cart before the horse because they were not ready to
Speaker 1: announce it, which Trump clearly did. So that makes me,
Speaker 1: rather than blind allegiance just processing it, it makes me
Speaker 1: believe that somebody who knew what was up said something
Speaker 1: to somebody and they said it to a reporter, and
Speaker 1: that's why you got that report. So it was not
Speaker 1: that the report was wrong, it was essentially a day early.
Speaker 3: Do you think it was premature?
Speaker 10: Yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah yeah.
Speaker 3: Because Eric Erickson he had been told the same thing
Speaker 3: that there was going to be a ninety day pause.
Speaker 3: Now he also said that this was due to according
Speaker 3: to his sources inside the Trump administration, who told them,
Speaker 3: that the ninety day pause was going to be implemented.
Speaker 3: That came after a lot of the big business, big
Speaker 3: donors to Trump met with him and said, you need
Speaker 3: to find an off ramp. And again I don't know
Speaker 3: if this is true, but this was This is another theory.
Speaker 3: So either way, whether it was the strategy from the
Speaker 3: very beginning or it became the strategy because of the impact,
Speaker 3: I don't know. But either way, the dialing it back
Speaker 3: and China's reaction has now isolated China, and you know,
Speaker 3: they're trying to you know, they're trying to reset this
Speaker 3: global trade order and scrap basically the model that America
Speaker 3: had had authored going back to you know, right after
Speaker 3: World War Two, Bretton Woods and then you've got the
Speaker 3: Reagan uh, you know, neoliberal order that we are currently under.
Speaker 3: And so they're trying to rewrite this model and uh.
Speaker 3: And again I hope they are successful. I do, like
Speaker 3: I want them to be successful. I will I will
Speaker 3: celebrate it if we are able to uh to bring manufacturing,
Speaker 3: particularly for the critical needs of a country, to bring
Speaker 3: them back on shore, and to punish china abuses, which
Speaker 3: is hilarious that now China is going to the World
Speaker 3: Trade Organization and crying. It's like, guys, like the abuses
Speaker 3: of China are well documented and uh, they've never been
Speaker 3: held to account really for their behavior. I mean, anybody who,
Speaker 3: like you heard Kevin O'Leary, I'm sure right, you go
Speaker 3: over yeah, yeah, wants of huge tabs. And his big
Speaker 3: beef is that when you're if you're an American inventor
Speaker 3: and you make something and then you go to China
Speaker 3: to produce that product, within six months, somebody has ripped
Speaker 3: off your designs and is pumping out competing goods than
Speaker 3: your invention for way less, and it puts you out
Speaker 3: of business. It's stealing, it's and it's intellectual property sept
Speaker 3: that China has been engaged in for like twenty twenty
Speaker 3: five years. And like, if we can if we can
Speaker 3: punish China for that, and we can force countries to
Speaker 3: say you're either with us or with China on this stuff,
Speaker 3: then I think that redounds to our benefit. And I
Speaker 3: think them saying we want to negotiate bilateral agreements, this
Speaker 3: is a new model, and they want to, you know,
Speaker 3: offer the most benefits to the ally countries that want
Speaker 3: to engage with us, and that hopefully makes them closer
Speaker 3: to us.
Speaker 1: China's so far gone. I don't know how you fix that.
Speaker 1: And you know who was one of the most vocal
Speaker 1: politicians in their ire for China for decades. Chuck Schumer,
Speaker 1: it was the one thing where this guy was spot
Speaker 1: on about it, right, and he was very and now
Speaker 1: he's got to sit there and like the other you know,
Speaker 1: he's got to pretend like Trump's wrong on China. And
Speaker 1: this is why this is like where you where you're at?
Speaker 1: Where I just I I everything that every one of
Speaker 1: these elected a hole says, I just I don't even
Speaker 1: file it away is true. Like Chuck Schumer, I've given
Speaker 1: him credit on the show where he's been very critical
Speaker 1: of China, and now he's got to pretend like it's
Speaker 1: not a problem. And Kevin O'Leary had a phrase for
Speaker 1: those type of entrepreneurs and I can't remember what it was,
Speaker 1: but yeah, no, it was spot on. And of course
Speaker 1: then you know they trash and what does he know
Speaker 1: he's Canadian and blah blah blah. I'm like, China doesn't
Speaker 1: just take advantage of the US. They take advantage of everybody,
Speaker 1: right and remember remember they also like they're for all
Speaker 1: you eco moonbats who are against Trump. You know, China's
Speaker 1: big thing is to go find endangered like reefs and
Speaker 1: then dump sand on them to make islands so they
Speaker 1: can pretend that all of the South China Sea is
Speaker 1: their property. So they've also like murdered all this sea life.
Speaker 1: If you need something to get behind, they're not they're
Speaker 1: not good players, and they flew a spy balloon over us,
Speaker 1: so screw them.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Well, and also like when Trump did the first round
Speaker 3: of tariffs in his first term, what China did then
Speaker 3: was to move there and ship their their operations through
Speaker 3: other countries, right yeah.
Speaker 1: And talked about this for people trying to understand why
Speaker 1: the there was tariffs on these islands with just penguins,
Speaker 1: I'm like, because it's a drop ship thing that China does. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: So who's your master's pick, Pete calendar?
Speaker 6: Do you like?
Speaker 3: I don't know. I saw that girl hit that that
Speaker 3: really long putt. I mean it was a really slow
Speaker 3: rolling ball, but I thought that.
Speaker 1: I don't know anything about golf, do you.
Speaker 3: That's true? Yeah? No, I'm not a golfer.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't watch it. If I like, if I want
Speaker 3: to fall asleep, I watch it.
Speaker 1: I see okay, all right?
Speaker 3: Oh, because it's very serene, you know, the voices of
Speaker 3: the commentators are very calming and yeah, but no I don't.
Speaker 3: I don't follow golf or watch golf or anything. But
Speaker 3: I know this is a very big deal for those
Speaker 3: who do.
Speaker 1: You know, So going back to China real quick, since
Speaker 1: you know nothing about golf, so, uh, you know a
Speaker 1: lot of people and the media is doing a crap
Speaker 1: job of reporting how China is trying to deal with this.
Speaker 1: And it's like I keep seeing these reports from like
Speaker 1: CNBC and others where it clearly looks like they're on
Speaker 1: team China, which is bonkers to me. But you know,
Speaker 1: when it comes to hating Trump, that's what you gotta do, right,
Speaker 1: you know, China is one of the things they're trying
Speaker 1: to do is rapidly divest themselves of treasuries. And people
Speaker 1: thought they were doing that just to be retaliatory because
Speaker 1: you saw a yield increase during the earlier part of
Speaker 1: the week. But the fact is, uh, their currency, it
Speaker 1: was already getting hammered. It's absolutely decimated right now. Right
Speaker 1: And like so I talked about, you talked about shooting wars.
Speaker 1: What people don't understand is China, it was so leveraged
Speaker 1: in stuff. When Sri Lanka melted down last year, the
Speaker 1: financial loss that was the greatest was not Sri Lanka,
Speaker 1: it was China because they were so leveraged in that
Speaker 1: and they So this is like you talk about trade
Speaker 1: wars turning to shooting wars. The best example is US, uh,
Speaker 1: you know, messing with oil ahead of Japan attacking Pearl Harbor.
Speaker 1: People go go back to that. Do you honestly believe
Speaker 1: that China escalates this? And is it a Taiwan invasion?
Speaker 1: What do you think? It looks like I got a
Speaker 1: minute and a half.
Speaker 3: So have you read the fourth turning?
Speaker 1: Yes, yes, yes, yeah, good, I'm glad you're going right.
Speaker 3: And so it's hard for me to look at to
Speaker 3: look at world events and not see the past earns.
Speaker 3: And that's of great concern because there's you know, there's
Speaker 3: no guarantee you come out of that turning in the
Speaker 3: same state that you went into it. So that's the concern.
Speaker 3: And so yeah, I mean, if they're if President of
Speaker 3: China winnie the pool over there, if he I don't know,
Speaker 3: if he if he feels sufficiently threatened. You know, one
Speaker 3: way to rally everybody together in a country, particularly it's
Speaker 3: atalitarian one, it is to go to war.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and remember, especially for the media, and I'll say this,
Speaker 1: and I gotta let you go. For all you media people,
Speaker 1: China still disappears reporters. I don't know if you guys
Speaker 1: know this. That's still the thing they do. And they
Speaker 1: even disappeared their former president in the middle of a meeting.
Speaker 1: So right, yeah, that's that's what you're dealing with, all right, Pete.
Speaker 1: I appreciate it, my man. Hopefully the trailers are nicer
Speaker 1: to you today.
Speaker 3: So oh, that's fine. I thrive on it. I know.
Speaker 1: I know he's going to go on Twitter and fight now,
Speaker 1: so following there and we will be right back. Do
Speaker 1: appreciate it.
Speaker 6: I was.
Speaker 1: I did in addition to doing radio, when I was
Speaker 1: in Minneapolis and I worked part time, I had a like,
Speaker 1: essentially a consulting contract for a company that produces essentially
Speaker 1: medical suppert medical food stuff so it's non prescription.
Speaker 2: And it was a guy who.
Speaker 1: Invented something called d ribos I'll tell you what it
Speaker 1: is whatever, and they held the pad. He and a
Speaker 1: bunch of his classmates at University of Minnesota essentially were
Speaker 1: able as chemists built this or created this thing. And
Speaker 1: he held the medical or the medical and food application.
Speaker 1: I don't know how the deal went, and so his
Speaker 1: company blew up because they used to use it only
Speaker 1: for helping heart patients. So if you had like heart surgery,
Speaker 1: a heart transplant, or they had to open your ribcage.
Speaker 1: It was a way to increase energy without raising the
Speaker 1: heart rate. I don't admit to know all the science
Speaker 1: behind it. So for a lot of years that's all
Speaker 1: it was. And then when energy drinks popped off, all
Speaker 1: of a sudden, he got licensed by a couple of
Speaker 1: the energy so he was licensed to print money. So
Speaker 1: they went into major manufacturing. So the work that I
Speaker 1: did for him is I created radio infomercials for him
Speaker 1: and they would do like weekend show. If you ever
Speaker 1: listened to this station on the weekend, you probably heard
Speaker 1: some of these things. So when that blew up, he said, well,
Speaker 1: I have to go do a fundraising round and they
Speaker 1: were gonna open a factory in China, and I actually
Speaker 1: got to go with them. So I ended up going
Speaker 1: to a mon Jordan, Germany, India, Kualaumpoor, Malaysia, China, and Japan,
Speaker 1: and they paid for it, so I'm like, yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: go for it. I love to travel, but it was
Speaker 1: it was kind of all work. But I remember in
Speaker 1: China there was two things that stuck out to be.
Speaker 1: One we went to where the factories were, which as
Speaker 1: a normal tourist you can't go there. And you show
Speaker 1: up and they're just like, hey, you want to buy
Speaker 1: a factory, and they just have these lines of factories, right,
Speaker 1: and they had and it's turnkey, like the people are there,
Speaker 1: and I think it was twenty million at the time.
Speaker 1: He did not go with that, just to be clear,
Speaker 1: but he did go elsewhere in Asia. But yeah, it
Speaker 1: was just like if you have twenty million, we have
Speaker 1: literally like the people too. You just it's just turnkey.
Speaker 1: And then they but it became very clear that business
Speaker 1: in China was not conducted like business in the US.
Speaker 1: And there's a phrase that I've heard people use who
Speaker 1: do business in China. The negotiations begin once the contract signed,
Speaker 1: and it's really like the way that they negotiate there
Speaker 1: is remarkably different than the US. And he was he
Speaker 1: was a smart enough dude. Obviously he had somebody who
Speaker 1: that's all this guy does is do deals over in China.
Speaker 1: And I just remember were sitting at their little strategy
Speaker 1: thing just listening to this dude explained, Hey, everything you've
Speaker 1: ever negotiated, just know that it doesn't work that way
Speaker 1: in China.
Speaker 6: And he was right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the whole thing was a nightmare. And then and
Speaker 1: also there's the big fear that once you turn over
Speaker 1: the tech, you're cooked. And I've got several emails like
Speaker 1: George Lady said, we want to do locomotive business in China.
Speaker 1: Part of the deal was to transfer all technology. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: that's so like China. And and you know that's the
Speaker 1: upfront theft of intellectual property where they're kind of forcing
Speaker 1: your hand to do it because the deal is we
Speaker 1: don't turn it over, but you still do some business
Speaker 1: that does steal it anyway. So I don't know, as
Speaker 1: I was this kind of continuation on the conversation with Pete,
Speaker 1: like you're not just changing one or two things, You're
Speaker 1: having to change the entirety of the business callulture in China,
Speaker 1: which is a much bigger thing. It's a much heavier lift.
Speaker 1: And so this is far more complex than China just
Speaker 1: coming to the table going all right, no tariffs, right,
Speaker 1: That doesn't solve really the big problems with China, which
Speaker 1: is intellectual property theft. I had another buddy who do
Speaker 1: business in China, and every that dude would come back
Speaker 1: with DVDs of movies that were in theaters for a
Speaker 1: week that were really well done. Right, So you have
Speaker 1: all of this culturally. I don't know how you fix
Speaker 1: that with the teriff agreement. So the question is how
Speaker 1: deep does does Trump want to go on this thing,
Speaker 1: because I don't know how you stop them from stealing
Speaker 1: your ips, Like, I don't know how you correct that
Speaker 1: other than alienating, devastating their economy, and perhaps hardening the
Speaker 1: hearts of Chinese citizens. Remember, China has something and has
Speaker 1: had something for the last about two twenty years that
Speaker 1: they previously didn't have, and that is a middle class.
Speaker 1: There is a lot, don't get me wrong. There's wigers,
Speaker 1: and there's you know, the immensely poor people in China
Speaker 1: essentially slave labor in some cases they exist, But China
Speaker 1: has a substantial hundreds of millions of people that are
Speaker 1: quote unquote middle class, and you know what, they're probably
Speaker 1: big fans of it compared to the alternative. Either you're
Speaker 1: you know, your top of the you know, top of
Speaker 1: the echelon, and you're doing really really well, probably stealing
Speaker 1: two as you saw with some of the construction stuff,
Speaker 1: or you're you're dirt poor. Now they have people that
Speaker 1: are in their version of a middle class, and how
Speaker 1: will they react. So if that economy tanks and the
Speaker 1: currency tanks, they go in one of two directions. One
Speaker 1: they galvanized with leadership and perhaps they're willing to as
Speaker 1: Pete Sead started shooting more, or they overthrow their government,
Speaker 1: which I I don't know, but you understand what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: like they're going to have to blame somebody. Is it
Speaker 1: Jijinping or is it us? And I don't know the
Speaker 1: answer to that. And it's not even a cautionary tale.
Speaker 1: It's just me trying to strategize how this thing potentially
Speaker 1: plays out. And I you know, but as Trump pointed out,
Speaker 1: as Trump pointed out yesterday, and we're very powerful.
Speaker 4: This country is very powerful. It's far more powerful that
Speaker 4: people understand. We have weaponry that nobody has any idea
Speaker 4: what it is. And it is the most powerful weapons
Speaker 4: in the world that we have, more powerful than anybody
Speaker 4: even not even close. So nobody's going to do that.
Speaker 4: But I think that if that's what you're referring to
Speaker 4: maybe it's not all right.
Speaker 1: Well, and so we try to figure out what's the
Speaker 1: secret weapon? Ross went, what did you go with? I
Speaker 1: can't remember what it was. I've had several suggestions in
Speaker 1: the poop Lazer was something else, but like maybe, and
Speaker 1: and for all the advancements that China has, you have
Speaker 1: to you have to remember too that a lot of
Speaker 1: China's real futuristic tech kind of works but kind of
Speaker 1: not really. Yeah, if I'm describing that correctly, like they
Speaker 1: tend to over accentuate where they're at and what they have.
Speaker 1: And while China is one of the UH is one
Speaker 1: of the nations who has successfully launched a rock. Look,
Speaker 1: there's only four entities that have ever launched a rocket
Speaker 1: into orbit and retrieved it. Okay, so it's Us, the Russians,
Speaker 1: the Chinese, and India would count, but they didn't retrieve
Speaker 1: and Elon Musk that's it. But four, there's four, and
Speaker 1: Jeff Bezos doesn't count because that's not full orbit. They
Speaker 1: didn't get out of They were just in what they
Speaker 1: call near orbit or whatever. So China does obviously is
Speaker 1: you know, advanced technologically, but a lot of theirs uf
Speaker 1: really doesn't work as well as they would let on.
Speaker 1: It's why they end up putting the videos out of
Speaker 1: their new fighter jet technology, and you quickly realize that
Speaker 1: it's cut scenes from the movie Top Gun coupled with
Speaker 1: a little of their fighter jet. That being said, they
Speaker 1: have the numbers, right, so they have they have body
Speaker 1: after body to throw at you. And I think their
Speaker 1: navy is larger larger than ours now, though is not
Speaker 1: the technology and the class of the ships is not
Speaker 1: on the same level. So that's it's an interesting conversation.
Speaker 1: I'm glad Pete brought it up, but I was just
Speaker 1: doing some thinking there. Real quick, all right, real quick, Chris,
Speaker 1: I got about a minute.
Speaker 10: What's up, Hey, Good morning, Casey.
Speaker 3: I believe that America has the two weapons that I
Speaker 3: know of that America has that no one realizes. Is
Speaker 3: one as super cavitation.
Speaker 6: The other one would be the neutron bomb. What is
Speaker 6: now familiar with.
Speaker 1: Joe's What's what's the first one? Sir?
Speaker 3: Super cavitation is like a rocket underwater, so a torpedo
Speaker 3: that makes I don't want to say what it is
Speaker 3: or what it could be. I just know that it's there.
Speaker 1: I just won't I don't have to describe. I probably
Speaker 1: want one for fishing, so good for fishing, right.
Speaker 6: And the other one is the neutron bomb, which would
Speaker 6: just devastate all biological life on Earth.
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, all right, well now I need now
Speaker 1: I need you. All right, thanks for the call there, Ross,
Speaker 1: I need one of those underwater missiles. Could you, uh
Speaker 1: maybe go on TMU and get one? All right, he's
Speaker 1: going to work on that while race Agic works on
Speaker 1: a weather forecast. Yeah, I want one, yeah, one, uh huh.
Speaker 1: So we have some super crazy secret weapons. That's awesome.
Speaker 1: And now I want to know what it is.
Speaker 6: Well I don't have it. I don't know what it is.
Speaker 6: If I could stop rain, it would be good because
Speaker 6: right now, looking at it rain, it's actually steadier.
Speaker 1: You're talking about harp and we know about that.
Speaker 6: So oh okay, so that's that. Yeah, but you know
Speaker 6: steady or now from the triangle north northeast, as you
Speaker 6: get into southern Virginia, rainy actually pretty hard there. Mispatch
Speaker 6: will pushed through here and we actually get a little
Speaker 6: bit of a break. But the trend's going to be
Speaker 6: for more scattered shower thunderstorms today, So plan on wet
Speaker 6: weather if you're going to be out and about. I
Speaker 6: think even through this evening severe, probably not a strong storm,
Speaker 6: could produce some gusty winds and hail. I mean you
Speaker 6: need have been hailers, especially across North Georgia where they
Speaker 6: had some two a jail in some spots. So just
Speaker 6: a heads up. Low sixties today tonight, mid upper forties, shower, thunderstorms,
Speaker 6: and then we'll kick off the weekend cloudy, cooler, mid
Speaker 6: upper fifties on Saturday with just a passing shower. Rain's
Speaker 6: not going to be a problem on Saturday, and it
Speaker 6: certainly will not be on Sunday. Mostly sunny, mid upper sixties,
Speaker 6: pushing eighty by Monday, with sunshine back in the seventies
Speaker 6: Tuesday starting. I think Sunday for sure, we're looking at
Speaker 6: some nice dry weather, mild weather, and that should continue
Speaker 6: at least to the middle part of next week. Anybody interested,
Speaker 6: like Casey and Augusta, just an isolated shower, maybe a
Speaker 6: thundershower this afternoon this evening. Other than that's going to
Speaker 6: be a beautiful weekend for golf. Casey, I want to
Speaker 6: emphasize that there might be one storm in all North
Speaker 6: Georgia today. The chance is so small, but happened. It could.
Speaker 6: I'm not saying it is. But even if there's one storm,
Speaker 6: it could be over Augusta, but it won't last long.
Speaker 6: My bets that there's probably not going to be any rain,
Speaker 6: but again, it might be one. That's how isolated the
Speaker 6: storms will be today.
Speaker 1: Rain can be a problem, but they don't stop playing
Speaker 1: for rain, So right.
Speaker 6: Light maybe well right when I say that, I say
Speaker 6: thunderstorm going up? But yeah, I think the chances are slimm.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, Well, can we move it over towards
Speaker 1: Clemson and then your people can deal with that.
Speaker 6: Wow, that's not nice. I'm going there too. Thanks.
Speaker 1: Oh well, a guy, that's fine, all right to do that.
Speaker 1: Appreciate it and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next.
Speaker 1: Hang on.
Speaker 9: Well, good morning, case and happy Friday. This report is
Speaker 9: sponsored by Total Wine and More. We just got another
Speaker 9: inflation surprise the Producer Price Index, and there was less
Speaker 9: inflation in the pipeline last month. The PPI fell four
Speaker 9: tenths percent in March. The core PPI, which excludes energy
Speaker 9: and food costs, was down one tenth of a percent.
Speaker 9: The tip for tet trade war between the US and
Speaker 9: China continues, with China announcing it is hiking its tariff
Speaker 9: on all American goods to one hundred twenty five percent
Speaker 9: that starts tomorrow. If things don't change, the levies are
Speaker 9: going to halt almost all trade between.
Speaker 1: The world's biggest economies.
Speaker 9: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessont has taken the lead. He's trying
Speaker 9: to negotiate new deals with the nation's trading partners to
Speaker 9: prevent President Trump's tariffs from going into effect. Before he
Speaker 9: was chosen as Treasury Secretary, Besson described the president's approach
Speaker 9: to trade as escalate to de escalate, and with all
Speaker 9: the attention on tariffs, it's easy to forget. The first
Speaker 9: quarter earnings reporting season is starting. JP Morgan Chase and
Speaker 9: Wells Fargo opened their books this morning. The numbers were positive.
Speaker 9: CarMax says it's loading up on pre owned vehicles from
Speaker 9: recent model years. The company anticipates tariffs on new imported cars.
Speaker 9: We'll have a lot of people looking for more affordable
Speaker 9: wheels and Casey one informal recession indicator ascending an early warning.
Speaker 9: Thousands of massage therapists, hairstylists makeup artists and other beauty
Speaker 9: professionals who were in New York for a trade show
Speaker 9: said they're seeing signs the economy is slowing. Many of
Speaker 9: the clients who come in give them an year full
Speaker 9: about the financial stress they're feeling. Many clients don't come
Speaker 9: in as often as they did before. They're going longer
Speaker 9: between haircuts and other services. Casey, you know, I actually
Speaker 9: saw a business story.
Speaker 1: Did you see that? The owner of Modello Constellation says
Speaker 1: that sales are down and they think that the immigration
Speaker 1: crackdown is to blame.
Speaker 2: I saw that.
Speaker 1: They said that if fewer Latino customers coming in. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and remember that's number one beer in the country because
Speaker 1: bud Light did the thing, you know. So yes, interesting,
Speaker 1: All right, thanks Jeffery. Okay, have a good weekend. Yeah
Speaker 1: you too. All right, there you go, jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News.
Speaker 1: Oh I should have asked him what his favorite beer is.
Speaker 1: I forgot what are you gonna do? Hey? Real quick,
Speaker 1: because it's Friday and I've had this stuff just cutting
Speaker 1: a hole in my pocket. I got two stories for you,
Speaker 1: and for one of them, we're gonna need this. Florida Man,
Speaker 1: Florida Man, Florida man. Is something in the water they
Speaker 1: errors hand that makes you do all that crazy crap.
Speaker 1: It's like the state is one week dumb ass trapped.
Speaker 1: Nowhere else has the Florida man. It is almost like,
Speaker 1: as the Weird Factor climbs to.
Speaker 2: Find out it have been in Florida every time, Florida,
Speaker 2: then Florida man.
Speaker 1: If anyone can cheer me, if you know, you can
Speaker 1: to mind life, you crazy, but of course, but it's not.
Speaker 2: It's bad crap, crazy as yours.
Speaker 1: Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used
Speaker 1: to it, they don't find him.
Speaker 2: Hooray for Florida.
Speaker 1: Now, yeah, I will say this partial ownership. According to
Speaker 1: the rest report, he is a transplant to Florida this year,
Speaker 1: previously residing in in Greensboro. So that's nice. So forty
Speaker 1: nine year old Daniel Cirello I'm not how to pronounce that,
Speaker 1: don't care, was arrested for public intoxication, also menacing patrons
Speaker 1: of an Applebee's in Clearwater, Florida. So what did he do?
Speaker 1: According to police, the forty nine year old was so
Speaker 1: intoxicated he was unable to answer basic questions such as
Speaker 1: where he was, where he came from what state he
Speaker 1: was even in, initially saying he was in North Carolina,
Speaker 1: which he was not. He was in Clearwater, Florida. However,
Speaker 1: what was he doing well, he was trying to get
Speaker 1: in various vehicles in the parking lot, as well as
Speaker 1: I guess, yelling at people in the bar and the
Speaker 1: whole time. According to the report, he was wearing nothing
Speaker 1: but a pink wig, fake breasts and a pink thong,
Speaker 1: and apparently the Applebee's manager felt that that was not
Speaker 1: appropriate a tire for the Applebee's. A grown man in
Speaker 1: nothing but a pink thong and a pink wig and
Speaker 1: fake hoots. So if you're going to Applebee's, I guess
Speaker 1: today you can't wear that there.
Speaker 6: So ross.
Speaker 1: Do you think they have this problem in Olive Garden?
Speaker 1: I bet they don't.
Speaker 2: I know, it sounds like a Coraba's issue, or in
Speaker 2: this case, Applebee's.
Speaker 1: So there you go.
