Speaker 1: I don't know what. I don't know what it was, man, Like,
Speaker 1: I woke up and everything was just so dry this morning.
Speaker 1: So we're two bottles of water in so uh we'll
Speaker 1: keep trucking, and uh, we got a lot to cover.
Speaker 1: So excuse me, dude. I honestly, just for my own sanity,
Speaker 1: I think they're going to have to start drugging Trump
Speaker 1: at like eight o'clock just so he doesn't do a
Speaker 1: week's worth of news after I have already checked out. Man,
Speaker 1: So uh, let's start local. Sorry, I want to get
Speaker 1: this quote from the ral story. So you remember how
Speaker 1: they said it was Fort liberty, but none of you
Speaker 1: ever called it fort liberty because that's dumb. Uh. Well
Speaker 1: now it's brag again. So I ross, did you ever
Speaker 1: hear anyone seriously refer to it as liberty? That's not
Speaker 1: like in a news report or discussing the political side
Speaker 1: of it. Absolutely not nobody, never, zero people called it
Speaker 1: for liberty except to like mockingly call it for liberty.
Speaker 1: They go for bragg oh liberty, but I call it brag.
Speaker 1: I heard that a thousand times, but well no more.
Speaker 1: Is it a problem? Excuse me? And the irony is
Speaker 1: this thing that heg Seth did the Defense Secretary was
Speaker 1: literally what was suggested at the time to appease the
Speaker 1: Biden administration. But it wasn't good enough. It wasn't a
Speaker 1: good enough solution because it didn't punish people or make
Speaker 1: the point. So they spent the what was it like
Speaker 1: six million dollars or something? Hold on, I have the
Speaker 1: number here, six point three seven million, And by the way,
Speaker 1: I don't even believe that's what it caused. It probably
Speaker 1: costs ten times then, because you know spending military, you
Speaker 1: know how it goes. But did you guys see the
Speaker 1: dude holding the forty thousand dollars bag of like bushings
Speaker 1: on the one of the members of Congress there, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, if you think about it, is a
Speaker 1: tacit admission of aliens, as we have covered on this show. Ross,
Speaker 1: I think you made the hammer point last week. They
Speaker 1: don't spend ten thousand on a hammer, will spend forty
Speaker 1: thousand on a thing a little bag of screws that
Speaker 1: you get it like fastenal so whatever. But so yesterday,
Speaker 1: here we go, here we go. Pete Heggs has signed
Speaker 1: a memorandum declaring the army would rename the base Fort Bragg, however,
Speaker 1: not after the original Brag. Okay, so just to be clear,
Speaker 1: the Braxton Brag is the namesake initially of Fort Bragg. Now,
Speaker 1: the base was named after him not for his service
Speaker 1: during the Civil War, of which he was a Confederate,
Speaker 1: I believe he was a general at the time, but
Speaker 1: rather if you go back to nineteen twenty two when
Speaker 1: they named the base, it was for his quote actions
Speaker 1: during the Mexican American War. Now, the nineteen twenties are interesting, right,
Speaker 1: you get a lot of the statues and things that
Speaker 1: we fought over. By the way, are they going to
Speaker 1: put Silent Sam back up? How far are we going
Speaker 1: with this? I can't even imagine how much they'd lose
Speaker 1: their minds there. So going back to twenty twenty, if
Speaker 1: you remember the summer of mostly peaceful protests, a little fiery,
Speaker 1: but mostly peaceful. According to the media, a series of
Speaker 1: bases were decreed to have their names changed, and at
Speaker 1: the time people said, well, rather than spending the money
Speaker 1: and really kind of upsetting the norms of people who
Speaker 1: actually live around Port Brag, why don't you just name
Speaker 1: it for a different Brag including I think Braxton. Bragg
Speaker 1: had a relative who did not fight for the Confederacy
Speaker 1: but did serve, so they kind of did that. Here's
Speaker 1: what they did. So the Brag that it is now
Speaker 1: named after is PFC. Brag who fought during World War Two,
Speaker 1: who received a Purple Heart, who received a Silver Star.
Speaker 1: So what did he do? So he received those awards
Speaker 1: because at the Battle of the Bulge he carjacked a
Speaker 1: German ambulance and loaded it up with wounded wounded soldiers
Speaker 1: and then literally drove through the thing with the ambulance
Speaker 1: full of wounded US soldiers to a Allied Forces hospital
Speaker 1: under heavy fire. He did all these things. That's what
Speaker 1: he was worded Purple Heart and Silver Star force. So
Speaker 1: that is technically who the base is now named after. Again,
Speaker 1: a solution, I think within five minutes we talked about
Speaker 1: on this show. Well before they changed the names. We're like, oh,
Speaker 1: I would just spend the money, just change it to
Speaker 1: the other thing. Nobody cares. Nobody cares, and there's lots
Speaker 1: of brags to choose from if you're so offended. But again,
Speaker 1: it wasn't about that. It was about scoring a win
Speaker 1: and a screw you to people who were just like
Speaker 1: this is dumb. And so I'm reading this and I'm like, well, look,
Speaker 1: I'm assuming everyone's going to be happy unless it's politically motivated.
Speaker 1: I was not prepared for this, though. Now you get
Speaker 1: a scroll down here. The mayor of Fayetteville, Faitheville Mayor
Speaker 1: Mitch Colvin tells WRL News he was surprised by the
Speaker 1: about face. Well, then you're an idiot because Trump talked
Speaker 1: about it literally in your town on more than one occasion,
Speaker 1: and then in other places as well. So if you're surprised,
Speaker 1: you're not good at your job of listening or knowing
Speaker 1: what's going on. I knew. I don't live in Fayeteville.
Speaker 1: I knew here we go, And of course he's upset
Speaker 1: about it. The renaming process, which included gold Star families
Speaker 1: who felt liberty was a true reflection of what our
Speaker 1: service men and women defend day in and day out.
Speaker 1: Don't you dare invot gold Star families. I literally watched
Speaker 1: people of your political party scream curse words at them
Speaker 1: in Washington, DC because they showed up to our radio
Speaker 1: row and then a bunch of moon bats were out
Speaker 1: front and they were literally screaming at a gold Star
Speaker 1: family and who was with a family who's it was
Speaker 1: their daughter, because there's a few there. I want to
Speaker 1: I want to make sure that I went whose daughter
Speaker 1: was raped and killed by a three time deported then
Speaker 1: come back to the country, released into the interior illegal immigrant,
Speaker 1: and the rent a mob out in front of the
Speaker 1: hotel was just being awful to them, even when they
Speaker 1: told one of them what they were, because they were
Speaker 1: wearing a lanyard which said what they were. Like, we
Speaker 1: all had our lanyards so that when we're doing radio interviews,
Speaker 1: everyone's names there and everything it said gold Star mother,
Speaker 1: gold Star father, gold Star family, and and they decided
Speaker 1: to make fun of that. So I don't I don't
Speaker 1: want to hear it. Okay, the renaming process included blah
Speaker 1: blah blah blah. Well it didn't include anyone in the
Speaker 1: community really because nobody called it that. Uh hold on.
Speaker 1: Then he then he bitched about the cost again. All
Speaker 1: of the all of this is all that Trump is doing,
Speaker 1: as we talked about yesterday, is literally undoing the last
Speaker 1: four years. In reality. Uh, it's a gift to him
Speaker 1: because he just it is just you just have a checklist,
Speaker 1: you just go through it. You're like no, no, no,
Speaker 1: no no, And then you're not even really doing new stuff.
Speaker 1: I mean, the dose stuff is new stuff. But all
Speaker 1: of this, this is just undoing the meanness, undoing the
Speaker 1: you know, the fu undoing a bunch of politicians who
Speaker 1: wouldn't spend five minutes in Fayetteville because you the people
Speaker 1: just it's not their vibe. Okay, so I don't want
Speaker 1: to hear it. And from the mayor there who went
Speaker 1: along with this, shame on you. What do you Oh,
Speaker 1: this was gonna cost six point three mil. You want
Speaker 1: me to get a list of all the crap you
Speaker 1: waste money on. I can do that. I'll get six
Speaker 1: point three seven million in a second. And who knows,
Speaker 1: maybe they kept the sign. I don't know. So uh yeah,
Speaker 1: that's the thing. And uh I couldn't be happier. Hey,
Speaker 1: hold on, people are sending me emails here. Yeah all right,
Speaker 1: so I'm getting emails from people in Fayetteville. They're like, no,
Speaker 1: nobody called it liberty unless there was a technical reason
Speaker 1: to do it. Absolutely never, once, never, once did I
Speaker 1: hear anyone call it fort liberty and be serious about it.
Speaker 1: So good on that. Also, Ross the Hayes Volcano in
Speaker 1: Alaska now retroactively named for you. So get your own volcano, buddy,
Speaker 1: which means you have to do the sacrifices. So that'll
Speaker 1: be on you. All right. Wait, hold on, Oh that's cool.
Speaker 1: Direct to send in a Braxton. Oh, then just reloaded
Speaker 1: the page. Hold on, do a direct to sended of Braxton.
Speaker 1: Brag was in my basic course at in nineteen seventy six.
Speaker 1: Oh look at that. So there's still brags literally of
Speaker 1: that family. Well I don't know if they still are,
Speaker 1: but at as late as the nineteen seventy serving. So
Speaker 1: good stuff there, all right, Uh, coming up on the show.
Speaker 1: It wasn't planned because I didn't know that they were
Speaker 1: going to do it, but Senator Ted Buddle joined us,
Speaker 1: and we got some stuff to get into. We had
Speaker 1: another law maker literally freeze in the middle of lawmaking yesterday,
Speaker 1: who is a seventy six year old John Larson, Congressman
Speaker 1: Larson literally just went full McConnell on the House floor
Speaker 1: last night. What are we doing? I mean, honest, honestly,
Speaker 1: everybody needs a everybody needs a physical and then maybe
Speaker 1: we got to talk about some stuff we got And
Speaker 1: this is bipartisan. This guy's a Democrat, McConnell's a Republican.
Speaker 1: The Republicans literally were storing one of their congressional members
Speaker 1: from Texas and at Alzheimer's home. So I guess we're
Speaker 1: gonna do this again, and uh that became the backstory.
Speaker 1: It became the backstory yesterday as to what happened up
Speaker 1: at the halls of Congress because Nancy Mays did a
Speaker 1: thing and it's pretty crazy. So the story itself and
Speaker 1: some of the stuff around it, I don't know that
Speaker 1: their actions are crazy, although they are unique because uh,
Speaker 1: I didn't realize something, and uh, I almost want to
Speaker 1: get elected to Congress just to abuse this. But I'll
Speaker 1: fill you in on that coming up.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I just wonder what you fall down over thunder
Speaker 2: and over was before the media comes out and start
Speaker 2: saying that, uh yeah, that they went away from a
Speaker 2: racist to pick a war criminal with the naming of
Speaker 2: the four.
Speaker 1: Bragdon Well the new how's the new guy a war criminal.
Speaker 2: Because he carjacked the amulance?
Speaker 1: Is that a war crime? It might? Honestly, you know,
Speaker 1: well just a criminally, I thought it was. It was
Speaker 1: kind of funny that you brought it up. But now
Speaker 1: that I'm sitting there thinking about it, like interfering with
Speaker 1: medical I think, is h we're not supposed to do
Speaker 1: so they don't have to make sense for them to.
Speaker 1: Oh no, no, no, no, none of it makes sense. I
Speaker 1: agree with you. But I remember when we were having
Speaker 1: the discussion. Remember the hospital in Gaza that literally the
Speaker 1: main base for Hamas was under right, and and and
Speaker 1: then they they're like, hey, here's a missile. And then
Speaker 1: they're like, you can't do that. It's a medical facility.
Speaker 1: You can't. That's so literally that might happen. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll see. So I just look, have you ever heard
Speaker 1: the ambulance sirens over in Europe? How stupid they are
Speaker 1: compared to ours? The won't whoa won't? Yeah, oh no
Speaker 1: no no, But you're see in movies. If there's ever
Speaker 1: like a police chase in Paris or something, they have that,
Speaker 1: all right, I'll have to find it. So I'm just saying,
Speaker 1: I like, literally, it's even braver because who'd want to
Speaker 1: be caught in that piece of crap? So all right, Anthony,
Speaker 1: thank you very much for reading what is probably our future.
Speaker 3: Now it's like that Jason Bourne siren.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, the Jason Bourne siren. How dumb is that?
Speaker 1: Like they can? Yeah? And now this poor guy's got
Speaker 1: to drive twenty miles with wounded US two World War
Speaker 1: two veterans in the back so you can save their lives.
Speaker 1: H And I have to listen to that for twenty miles.
Speaker 1: All right, So Nancy Mace, Now I have mentioned Nancy.
Speaker 1: I have a dual thought on Nancy Mace, right, and
Speaker 1: not the part where everyone's like, oo cow she is. Okay.
Speaker 1: Nancy Mace sometimes is a little too much for me
Speaker 1: because she seems very media hungry, but it doesn't mean
Speaker 1: she's wrong. That being said. What she did on the
Speaker 1: house floor, you say, was kind of crazy. And I
Speaker 1: saw her tweet earlier telling people to tune in at
Speaker 1: seven and because she was going to do something, and
Speaker 1: honestly I didn't. But then I started seeing stuff on
Speaker 1: Twitter and I'm like, oh, okay, all right, you know
Speaker 1: what I forgot to send. It's fifteen seconds we dub
Speaker 1: it in, all right, So do you remember that five
Speaker 1: hundred pound wrapper? What did we end up with her
Speaker 1: name as type two chains or was it lardie B.
Speaker 1: I can't remember anyway, you know, she literally is on
Speaker 1: this crusade, got the lift driver fired from lyft and
Speaker 1: filed a lawsuit and so honestly, the whole thing feels
Speaker 1: like it's stunt. So she went to do a radio
Speaker 1: interview yesterday with The Breakfast Club, which is a big
Speaker 1: syndicated show Charlemagne the God and I can't remember the
Speaker 1: other two, but whatever, So they brought her in to
Speaker 1: do an interview yesterday and it took a really interesting turn,
Speaker 1: which I'll tell you about here coming up. So all right,
Speaker 1: let me get back to the Nancy Mace thing. So
Speaker 1: like it's not it's not not known because Mace has
Speaker 1: brought it up that she she says she is a
Speaker 1: victim of sexual abuse, verbal abuse, physical abuse. Right, she's
Speaker 1: mentioned that. But even though people knew that she was
Speaker 1: talking about her ex fiance, they really didn't know all
Speaker 1: the details. So yesterday Nancy Mace got up and absolutely
Speaker 1: torched her ex fiance and three of his business partners.
Speaker 1: And I don't even mean a little all right, So
Speaker 1: so here it is, m uh all right, let me
Speaker 1: just read this, okay, because here's the this is what's
Speaker 1: making me nervous. This guy these guys are not technically
Speaker 1: charged with this, although an investigation is going on. So
Speaker 1: what she's saying as fact, I know that she believes it,
Speaker 1: and she has a cell phone, she says, with all
Speaker 1: this evidence, and now investigators have it. But like, I
Speaker 1: don't know if I can air what she said without
Speaker 1: couching it. So I'm gonna I'm gonna explain it to
Speaker 1: you because technically, I feel like it could be considered
Speaker 1: libelous or slander if none of this turns out or
Speaker 1: it doesn't go forward, do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: But she doesn't have to worry about that, and I'll
Speaker 1: explain why. All right. So the South Carolina Republican came
Speaker 1: forward with shocking allegations of rape, voyeurism, and sexual abuse
Speaker 1: after uncovering a trove of more than ten thousand videos
Speaker 1: and photos on the phone of her former fiance. All right,
Speaker 1: so let me read this quote quote. I accidentally uncovered
Speaker 1: some of the most heinous crimes against women, imaginable rape,
Speaker 1: non consensual photos, non consensual videos, underage videos and photos
Speaker 1: of underage girls, and sexual situations. It literally ran the gamut,
Speaker 1: she said. She went on to say, today you will
Speaker 1: hear about the depraved men behind these acts, all right,
Speaker 1: so what is she alleging? In November of twenty twenty three,
Speaker 1: Mace claims that she discovered non consensual images of female employees,
Speaker 1: wives of male employees, girlfriends, and other women, including upskirt
Speaker 1: photos photos that were consensual probably at the time they
Speaker 1: were taken of his business partner's wives, that it seems
Speaker 1: the partners then shared with the other partners. But also
Speaker 1: this is probably the most disturbing. Well, there's two. One
Speaker 1: the upskirt photos are of an underage girl who's the
Speaker 1: daughter of one of the business associates. All right, so
Speaker 1: that's one. The second the second really mind blowing thing.
Speaker 1: And she had the woman there in the audience. She
Speaker 1: had a few women all told hers about a dozen
Speaker 1: women in these films, including one woman who didn't know
Speaker 1: she was raped, and Mace had to tell her the
Speaker 1: reason the video with the video is reportedly her fiance
Speaker 1: and one of his business partners filming. Right, So you
Speaker 1: have the phone that's filming. You can see another phone
Speaker 1: off to the side, I guess, and what they're filming
Speaker 1: is a third business partner who is having sex with
Speaker 1: a woman who is clearly not awake. That's the woman
Speaker 1: that Nancy Mace literally had to tell her that you
Speaker 1: she was raped. According to Mace's statements, again, I want
Speaker 1: to be careful here because this is not normal the
Speaker 1: normal way here. Yeah, all right, here we go. This
Speaker 1: is her own description. She had no idea because she
Speaker 1: was incapacitated at the time of rape. I just found
Speaker 1: the video. But the two of them, the three of them,
Speaker 1: all business partners, two of them with their phones out
Speaker 1: filming her being raped by the other business partner. There
Speaker 1: was no movement, there was no life. I couldn't even
Speaker 1: tell if the woman was alive. Now, Mace did not
Speaker 1: show any of this, obviously, but she said that when
Speaker 1: she initially found it, she told the state Attorney General's
Speaker 1: office that there are children president on the property while
Speaker 1: the woman was being raped, okay, and then all this
Speaker 1: stuff that went on there. She also said that one
Speaker 1: of her fiance's business partners tried to intimidate her. Let's see,
Speaker 1: and South Carolina Attorney General Alan Wilson failed to probe
Speaker 1: the act as witness intimidation despite opening an investigation into
Speaker 1: the sex crime allegations. So they opened the thing and
Speaker 1: then She's like, this guy's threatening me and he didn't
Speaker 1: do anything, according to me. Let's see the fiance denies
Speaker 1: the allegations, cooperate fully, YadA YadA. Pretty standard. The congresswoman
Speaker 1: said it took Wilson's office seven months from the time
Speaker 1: she first came forward. I guess her fiance and business
Speaker 1: and his business partners are kind of like really known
Speaker 1: in the political scene there in South Carolina. I don't know.
Speaker 1: So I think that she's alleging that maybe they use
Speaker 1: connections to try to get this to go away. Mace
Speaker 1: went on to recount house stumbling upon her ex fiance
Speaker 1: on a dating app. Okay, so she saw him on
Speaker 1: a dating app. He's like, I'm not doing anything, and
Speaker 1: she goes, well, show me your phone, and he's like,
Speaker 1: I guess he's dumb, and he did. She during the
Speaker 1: search of the phone also found photos of herself that
Speaker 1: were taken like when she's getting out of the shower,
Speaker 1: coming into the room, and she didn't know. So, yeah, now,
Speaker 1: why is this interesting? Okay? Well, I mean not the story,
Speaker 1: but like the situation. Here's why it's interesting. She they
Speaker 1: can't do anything to her, So I did not know this.
Speaker 1: I know that we have laws, like in North Carolina,
Speaker 1: we have a law that if law I'm not gonna
Speaker 1: get it one hundred percent accurate, but we have a
Speaker 1: law that basically, if you're a lawmaker in North Carolina
Speaker 1: in the State Assembly, and you're lawmaking or you're going
Speaker 1: to or from like you're you're basically immune to most
Speaker 1: being charged with low level crimes. Right. And there's a
Speaker 1: reason that they have this stuff because back in the day,
Speaker 1: if you were the party in power, you could literally
Speaker 1: you could like have somebody arrested. And now there's not
Speaker 1: enough votes to stop what you're doing, and stuff like
Speaker 1: that happened. But luckily we don't arrest or prosecute political
Speaker 1: enemies anymore. Oh oh, that's right. So that's the reasoning
Speaker 1: behind it. Up at the up at the congressional level.
Speaker 1: There it's even toothier. Um let's see, I know it
Speaker 1: was in this damn story here. But basically, if you're
Speaker 1: a member of Congress, you can pretty much say whatever
Speaker 1: you want, you get accuse people of stuff, and if
Speaker 1: it's on the if it's you know, as part of
Speaker 1: congressional stuff, they can't do anything to you, which is
Speaker 1: almost a good enough reason to actually run for office. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just every down, you know, once a week, get up
Speaker 1: there and just be like, ah, so and so's the
Speaker 1: zodiac or whatever. They can't do anything to you. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I thought it was in this New York Post story,
Speaker 1: but do sorry. I just saw this other thing literally
Speaker 1: right before the show. All right, well I'll find it
Speaker 1: because I want to communicate. Oh, here we go. Here
Speaker 1: it is Mace, who presented no evidence during her remarks,
Speaker 1: is shielded from criminal prosecution and civil lawsuits by the
Speaker 1: Constitution's Speech and Debate Clause, which provides lawmakers with immunity
Speaker 1: for quote acts taken within the legislative sphere, which actually
Speaker 1: makes me pretty angry because you have many members of
Speaker 1: Congress who literally, when it was your free speech, they
Speaker 1: wanted you fired, they wanted you kicked off social media,
Speaker 1: when they wanted you probably arrested for trying to kill Grandma.
Speaker 1: Going back to the COVID stuff, So forgive me if
Speaker 1: it's yet another double standard there, but that apparently attaches
Speaker 1: during her speech there. So just crazy stuff. Man. I
Speaker 1: don't know if if she says she's got the videos
Speaker 1: and photos and if they even remotely seem to be
Speaker 1: what she's a legend. This dude's probably cooked. So and
Speaker 1: his buddies and who knows who else. All right, six
Speaker 1: forty five here on the CaCO Day radio program, phone
Speaker 1: number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1: All right. So so the five hundred pound wrapper goes
Speaker 1: on the Charlemagne or the Breakfast Club radio show. And
Speaker 1: here's the deal when somebody comes in. Right, so if
Speaker 1: they come into the studio to do an interview, mostly
Speaker 1: we just do phones and stuff, but people have come in.
Speaker 1: There's it's a pretty standard process. I or Ross will
Speaker 1: take that individual to whatever mic position they're going to
Speaker 1: be on. Right, We'll get the mic, we'll show them
Speaker 1: kind of all right, let's get it right near your
Speaker 1: face here, try to speak from this distance. We'll make
Speaker 1: sure their headphones work. Done it a thousand times, Ross
Speaker 1: has done it a thousand times, and it's never gone
Speaker 1: like this. So they bring her in and these guys
Speaker 1: have a pretty nice studio. It's a national show, right,
Speaker 1: and they are trying to put her where she's going
Speaker 1: to do the interview, and she can't fit in this seat.
Speaker 1: And I don't think any of this is planned. Those
Speaker 1: are clearly the seats everybody else is sitting in. So
Speaker 1: some show interns or staffers or whatever literally had to go,
Speaker 1: like Jack a love seat from somewhere else in the building,
Speaker 1: haul it into the studio and so she could sit
Speaker 1: on it. And she is like, she's not even clocking
Speaker 1: how insanely damning that is for her and her little
Speaker 1: quest like if you can't it's like, we have tiny
Speaker 1: third grade classroom seats. Hell, your seat doesn't even have
Speaker 1: arms on it, does it?
Speaker 3: Ross you?
Speaker 1: You have the one that doesn't have like we have options,
Speaker 1: and I don't think she'd fit in that one, and
Speaker 1: it's a big seat. And then they like literally mention
Speaker 1: it to her.
Speaker 4: Do what you want, what you need something?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, yeah, sorry, I was
Speaker 1: I was talking while I was doing it. So she
Speaker 1: said that, and and then I'll just tell you what
Speaker 1: it was. Charlemagne, I think it was Charlemagne said after
Speaker 1: they brought the love seat in, He's just like, we
Speaker 1: had to bring you a whole love seat in, like
Speaker 1: and she said, quote, well, that's accommodation. You're you're supposed
Speaker 1: to do that. And it's like, not only does it
Speaker 1: feel like a financial shakedown, but like they they might
Speaker 1: use that in court. You realize that, right, And she's
Speaker 1: just like, she's clueless to this. It's accommodation. Well, okay,
Speaker 1: so the guy with the little tiny Mercedes Entry Class Mercedes,
Speaker 1: so like he can swap the back seat out for
Speaker 1: a bark a lounger. I mean literally, I think that
Speaker 1: they'll probably use that in court, just as dumb as
Speaker 1: it sounds. But yeah, so that that whole thing, that
Speaker 1: whole thing continues. All right, let's do this. Speaking of
Speaker 1: clueless idiots, we got some Jasmine Crockett audio. She's fast
Speaker 1: becoming one of my least favorite, not favorites, you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, like with AOC and the crew. But
Speaker 1: I'm glad because we get we got to have our
Speaker 1: dose of stupid on display pretty regularly to fill time
Speaker 1: on this show. So we'll get into whatever she was
Speaker 1: ranting about. Honestly, I don't even know what her point was.
Speaker 1: So that Ted Budd eight oh five and much more,
Speaker 1: including what happened to Connecticut Representative is this dude's name
Speaker 1: Johnson who just like somebody hit his off switch while
Speaker 1: he's standing there talking in the on the house floor.
Speaker 1: But don't worry it's not because he's seventy six or
Speaker 1: dealing with anything. He's sharp as attack. He just had
Speaker 1: a whoopsie. I'll explain next here on the Cacy O
Speaker 1: Day radio program. So Sri Lanka, right a little right
Speaker 1: there off the coast to India. All right, So all
Speaker 1: the power went out yesterday and it stayed out for
Speaker 1: like five hours. Now, their infrastructure is obviously not on
Speaker 1: par with ours. That being said, the reason's crazy. So
Speaker 1: and I was reminded, ROSSI used to work at a
Speaker 1: radio station that literally the whole and I know you
Speaker 1: think you're talking about this one, but a different one
Speaker 1: that literally a single orange industrial style extension cord was
Speaker 1: the only thing that kept it on the air, like,
Speaker 1: which is crazy when you think about it. How many
Speaker 1: different things are plugged in in a radio station. So
Speaker 1: and I thought that was bad. This is worse. According
Speaker 1: to the Energy Energy Minister Kumara jew something zaiacodyesty. I
Speaker 1: don't know anyway, Energy Minister Kumara, the total blackout was
Speaker 1: quote because a monkey came in contact with a grid transformer,
Speaker 1: causing an imbalance which shorted out the whole system. There's
Speaker 1: twenty two million people in Sri Lanka and a single
Speaker 1: mischievous monkey. Now they didn't say whether it was cooked
Speaker 1: on this. I assume he was barbecue on the spot,
Speaker 1: but they didn't say that, so maybe got away with it.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Yeah, that's that's like. Of course, China
Speaker 1: is a lot of investing in Sri Lanka, so maybe
Speaker 1: China'll fix it for him. But yeah, five hours one
Speaker 1: mischievous monkey. Monkeys are jerks. If you guys ever vacation
Speaker 1: anywhere where they got wild monkeys, Oh, they steal everything
Speaker 1: they have people in in uh some especially over in Asia.
Speaker 1: You'll see these videos of tourists like they're in Thailand.
Speaker 1: This happens in Thailand a lot where they're on the beach, right,
Speaker 1: they have some beautiful, beautiful beaches there. You don't have
Speaker 1: to go and just be a perv like there's there's
Speaker 1: there's some beautiful beaches there. And so you have locals
Speaker 1: that literally have trained monkeys, and so they'll sit like
Speaker 1: in the tree line there, they'll wait for somebody to
Speaker 1: run into the water, right their bags sitting there, and
Speaker 1: they don't run out. They literally send the monkeys. And
Speaker 1: then you see these people in the ocean watching this
Speaker 1: happen trying to run, you know how it is trying
Speaker 1: to run when you're like waste deep water and these
Speaker 1: monkeys like they jack everything, run into the woods and
Speaker 1: your stuff's gone, man, and the dudes just like you know,
Speaker 1: gives them a banana or whatever, so yeah, they'll uh'll
Speaker 1: grab everything. And this dude's just like he's just legend man.
Speaker 1: All right, fix your stuff, Sri Lanka, because that is
Speaker 1: a bit embarrassing, not as embarrassing as Jasmine Crockett, though,
Speaker 1: this lunatic, which is good because they had to replace
Speaker 1: one of the squad members anyway, because the chicken Missouri, right,
Speaker 1: she she lost her seat, so uh, this is probably
Speaker 1: just about the balance. So she decided to take to
Speaker 1: the house floor. And she's big mad at Trump, okay,
Speaker 1: and she's dumb as as will be evidenced here. And
Speaker 1: I just have to share this with you all right here.
Speaker 1: Oh that's right, there's so much good s. All right,
Speaker 1: let's let's get into it with Jasmine crocket this lunatic
Speaker 1: who uh uh frankly brings me joy, mostly because she
Speaker 1: doesn't really have any impact other than to give me audio.
Speaker 1: Here we go, we know who.
Speaker 5: We work for we know that we work for the
Speaker 5: American people, and what we're not gonna do is stand around.
Speaker 5: What ain't pull this bull that they trying to pull
Speaker 5: right now?
Speaker 3: The us all I'm not gonna be.
Speaker 5: Able to preach because I probably won't be able to
Speaker 5: stop cussing.
Speaker 1: All right, And actually this is she she did a
Speaker 1: rant on the on the House floor and she did
Speaker 1: a rant to the press conference too, so just to
Speaker 1: clarify here, So yeah, all right, so you work for
Speaker 1: the American people, and yet all this stuff was going
Speaker 1: on that we're uncovering, like I don't want to hear it,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna ask but about this too. He's coming
Speaker 1: up at eight oh five. Like I said, we got
Speaker 1: lots to get into. The Senator will join us. But
Speaker 1: if you work for the American people, you're not doing
Speaker 1: a very good job. But that's basically all of Congress
Speaker 1: with the stuff that we're finding here, go on, please
Speaker 1: what else you got.
Speaker 5: We're also going to make sure that they uphold the law.
Speaker 1: We are not gonna sit around. Well you, by the way,
Speaker 1: is anyone writing levels on that mic? You heard it
Speaker 1: actually tip out there at the beginning, So probably should
Speaker 1: get somebody to do that ahead.
Speaker 5: And desecrate our constitution, or you look at the laws
Speaker 5: that have been passed into law and say, never mind,
Speaker 5: we'll just ignore that. Instead, we are gonna be in
Speaker 5: your faith. We are gonna be on your asses, and
Speaker 5: we are gonna make sure. We're gonna make sure you
Speaker 5: understand what democracy looks like.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, literally, just word solid if I could.
Speaker 1: Only problem is I can't understand the word you're saying.
Speaker 1: But because it doesn't make sense, Oh good, we get
Speaker 1: used out of this. Drop what the laws that become law?
Speaker 1: What are you talking about? Yes, if something is passed,
Speaker 1: then it becomes a law. You are correct, You don't
Speaker 1: have to call it that twice. But all right, one more.
Speaker 5: Our job is to conduct oversight. We both serve on
Speaker 5: the Overside Committee, and right now, as elected leaders who
Speaker 5: tried to go in, we were told we'll hold on
Speaker 5: a second. We gotta check to see if you can
Speaker 5: come in.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, so you By the way, the building she's
Speaker 1: talking about is an executive branch office. Right you saw
Speaker 1: the dude by the way, give that guy a raise?
Speaker 1: Did you see that dude? That bold had a dude
Speaker 1: who had to stand there and listen to all these lunatics.
Speaker 3: In front of the Department of Education. Yeah, did you
Speaker 3: see the band aid on his neck?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah, what was that covering up? Huh?
Speaker 3: No, So the band aid was an autism awareness band aid.
Speaker 1: Okay, but the theory was that he might have been
Speaker 1: covering up a tattoo there.
Speaker 3: I saw people to wait, dude, look at that, and
Speaker 3: it's like, if he's on the spectrum, or if he's
Speaker 3: an autism parent, you're not outlasting that dude. No, he
Speaker 3: That dude as the patience that you will never ever
Speaker 3: be able to compete with. Just just go away. He's
Speaker 3: gonna stand there forever and you have there. It's no competition.
Speaker 3: I saw that, and.
Speaker 1: Instantly that's an interesting theory. Yeah. No, the likelihood is
Speaker 1: that dude is a stone colt killer who served in
Speaker 1: the military, probably stacked bodies for the very lunatics that
Speaker 1: are sitting there screaming at him, and he's just you know,
Speaker 1: it's a thousand yard stare. But I like your theory.
Speaker 1: Ye know.
Speaker 3: The thing I instantly picked up on was he was
Speaker 3: wearing an autism awareness band aid, and I'm like, if
Speaker 3: that guy is on the spectrum, or if he is
Speaker 3: an autism parent, you are not outlasting him. He is
Speaker 3: the patience of a saint.
Speaker 1: So Trump, So Trump's whole administration is being buoyed by
Speaker 1: people who might be on the spectator.
Speaker 3: They wouldn't be surprised if the dos yep.
Speaker 1: Oh man, that's diabolical though, Right, you're like, all right,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get a bunch of guys who aren't going
Speaker 1: to react because they're you know, which just made him angry. Right,
Speaker 1: I don't know how much of that video you watched
Speaker 1: of these of them flipping out, Well, we're members of Congress.
Speaker 1: We'll go to a legislative building. Loser, like you're not
Speaker 1: even in this branch of government. But yeah, that guy man,
Speaker 1: I think I posted a couple of pictures. He gives
Speaker 1: zero FS. It's just great now, y'all know he likes
Speaker 1: make good. Just you know, you can say things at
Speaker 1: a normal level. Right, all right, eleven more seconds. I
Speaker 1: had to suffer, so you're gonna suffer.
Speaker 5: Here we go, he's signing to turn us into Russia.
Speaker 1: What but I got news for him.
Speaker 3: We the people will not.
Speaker 1: Go like it's just like she didn't even research new stuff.
Speaker 1: She's just throwing randomness. So he's trying to what do
Speaker 1: you mean, he's trying to turn this into Russia. But
Speaker 1: if you think that, don't go in a tall building. Man, Dude.
Speaker 1: Did you see the video of Trudeau and Putin where
Speaker 1: Trudeau kind of closed in close to Putin and all
Speaker 1: of a sudden you see these two like Putin's bodyguards
Speaker 1: start moving in and then Putin very calmley off to
Speaker 1: his side, kind of waves them off like one because
Speaker 1: I think Putin could take Trudeau, so he doesn't need them.
Speaker 1: But it's like you had bodyguards that were gonna come
Speaker 1: over and like, I don't know, grab Trudeau, which would
Speaker 1: have been amazing but probably not good protocol. All right?
Speaker 1: Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1: Oh man, all right, there's a really horrible story. I'm
Speaker 1: sorry I got a transition to this, but it's our daily.
Speaker 1: You might as well homeschool lesson of the day, okay,
Speaker 1: and I use day twice so I can be like
Speaker 1: Jasmine Crockett where I unnecessarily say things twice. So what
Speaker 1: did a school employee get charged with? What was he
Speaker 1: allegedly up to? And what all did the school know?
Speaker 1: This is This is a really really dark story, but
Speaker 1: we'll communicate it coming up seven sixteen. Hang on, I
Speaker 1: saw the story yesterday, didn't get to it, but it's
Speaker 1: it's so crazy it has to be shared. So A
Speaker 1: this is a teacher. His name is Miles McNeil. He's
Speaker 1: twenty six. He teaches in Harlem. Specifically, he teaches at
Speaker 1: an after school program, So I don't I guess that's
Speaker 1: that's his jam, all right. So he's been arrested after
Speaker 1: allegations emerged that he was messing with the students. Also,
Speaker 1: he thinks he's a vampire or he's really into vampires,
Speaker 1: and so he was also sexualizing that with nine year olds.
Speaker 1: There's some some pretty crazy stuff here, let's see. And
Speaker 1: he's a communist, which, by can you be a communist vampire?
Speaker 1: Does being a vampire fit within the bounds of communism?
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that, So maybe we
Speaker 1: can for that. But so vampire fetish and he and
Speaker 1: he would post all this this comed stuff online, which
Speaker 1: is why they're alleging that. According to authorities, he allegedly
Speaker 1: touched and photographed young students naked, had them assume sexual positions,
Speaker 1: and showed them pictures of you know, naked other naked
Speaker 1: kids and people, and it's not like nobody knew. This
Speaker 1: is what is so enraging about this story. One when
Speaker 1: it was first brought to the attention to school, they
Speaker 1: just ignored it. So he did this for three years.
Speaker 1: Administrators did nothing to stop the abuse. Even after you're
Speaker 1: ready for this. McNeil was found by a fellow staff
Speaker 1: member in an empty classroom with a second grader who
Speaker 1: he had on his lap giving him a lap dance.
Speaker 1: So you just walked in. If you walked in the
Speaker 1: break room where you work and one of your coworkers
Speaker 1: had a naked nine year old twerking on his lap
Speaker 1: and you didn't do anything, throw you in prison to okay,
Speaker 1: just so we're clear. Eventually though, it did get back
Speaker 1: to the schools, so the school took action and they
Speaker 1: suspended him with pay for one day, which apparently is
Speaker 1: the penalty for having a nine year old nakedly twerk
Speaker 1: on you, and not summary execution and buried under the prison.
Speaker 1: I So, I'm just saying there's a range of things
Speaker 1: that people would say needs to be done in that situation.
Speaker 1: I'll let you decide. Mcguil eventually arrested about a week
Speaker 1: ago charge was sexually abusing an eight year old. Police
Speaker 1: found fifty two electronic devices and his possess. Think about that.
Speaker 1: This dude's got fifty two. I'm trying to think if
Speaker 1: I own fifty two electronic devices, and what qualifies? Does
Speaker 1: my toaster? Probably not. I've got I've got a new iPad,
Speaker 1: I've got an old iPad. I've got a company laptop,
Speaker 1: I have a personal laptop. I have a phone. I
Speaker 1: have an old phone in a drawer somewhere. I think
Speaker 1: that's it unless I miss This dude's got fifty two.
Speaker 1: And as you can imagine, they're just chock full of
Speaker 1: child porn. I know you're shocked, and a bunch of
Speaker 1: like one of the craziest things is there's pornography of
Speaker 1: kids dressed as vampires, and so I'm assuming he did
Speaker 1: that or it's like that's pretty niche thankfully, And then
Speaker 1: and then it just gets tragic. According to the court documents,
Speaker 1: one of his victims, who's nine, is now suicidal because
Speaker 1: the other kids know let's see. Oh and the other
Speaker 1: and one of the big since is he uploaded and
Speaker 1: shared this stuff. So he made this stuff and then
Speaker 1: he uploaded, so petos across the world have copies of
Speaker 1: this stuff. So as you can imagine the family, Well,
Speaker 1: the families are suing obviously, but so three years left
Speaker 1: to do this with the youngest of kids caught getting
Speaker 1: a lap dance from one filming them gets one day
Speaker 1: paid suspension in the three years, Like you have to
Speaker 1: throw the administrators in jail at that point. How is
Speaker 1: that not being party to that crime? And these schools, man,
Speaker 1: like you go back to all that took place in Virginia,
Speaker 1: right with the dad, he's like listening to the superintendent
Speaker 1: go Nope, no rapes in this school, and he's like, ah,
Speaker 1: I my daughter forgot that one, right. What is it
Speaker 1: with these schools? I can't imagine. And I'm not even
Speaker 1: just I know there's a lot of good people work
Speaker 1: in these districts who would be horrified and scream this
Speaker 1: from the mountain. But you get these administrators in there
Speaker 1: and they make the like, they make the decision, probably
Speaker 1: because they don't want the hassle, They don't want to
Speaker 1: get in trouble. But you make that decision guys messing
Speaker 1: around with eight nine year olds, Ah, we don't want
Speaker 1: the press, so but you could you move them somewhere
Speaker 1: even but I guess that would be a tacit admission.
Speaker 1: Well you suspended him for a day. Ah. Now, and
Speaker 1: it's worse too because, according to the article, McNeil was
Speaker 1: able to pull this off with astonishing frequency, like because
Speaker 1: they got all the digital files and they it's reported
Speaker 1: that he would radio other staff members to cover for him.
Speaker 1: Two things on the funding and Sandy, by the way,
Speaker 1: we had another judge. Now, so you had the one judge.
Speaker 1: It's like, nah, you can't look at the numbers, even
Speaker 1: if you're the Treasury secretary, which is crazy in and
Speaker 1: of itself. But uh, they found another judge. I think
Speaker 1: this guy's up in New England somewhere, doesn't matter. He's
Speaker 1: one of these. Uh. There are about fourteen hundred federal
Speaker 1: judges who apparently can literally control all aspects of government.
Speaker 1: I mean, I understand checks and balances, but how does
Speaker 1: that work? So, uh, the Supreme Court, and they're appealing
Speaker 1: to the Supreme Court. That's probably literally they're gonna get
Speaker 1: dealt with. But I don't know if that's enough. Do
Speaker 1: you think do you think if if they move to
Speaker 1: literally like like you can impeach judges, it's not an
Speaker 1: easy thing. I think that they've impeached like what seven
Speaker 1: or eight in history or something. It's a really low number,
Speaker 1: but like, oh man, you want to see the press
Speaker 1: start losing their minds. But I don't know what you
Speaker 1: do with judges like that, Like they swear an oath,
Speaker 1: there's you know, within within law, there are rules and parameters.
Speaker 1: There's lots of stuff about bad faith stuff. Does that
Speaker 1: pertain to these appointed for life judges? I don't know,
Speaker 1: but I'm pretty sure the system wasn't intended to work
Speaker 1: like this in these non specific just halt everything. This
Speaker 1: other judge ordered the money to go out. So all
Speaker 1: these payments that Trump saying, I don't know, we're going
Speaker 1: to pause this. This judge is like, no, you're going
Speaker 1: to spend all this money. How the hell does a
Speaker 1: judge do that, buying the executive branch from literally doing
Speaker 1: their job and then force them to spend money within
Speaker 1: the executive branch. I don't understand it. So that'll be
Speaker 1: interesting to see where that goes. But the two big arguments,
Speaker 1: one is the AIDS argument I keep seeing, and then
Speaker 1: the other one is the research argument, which our own
Speaker 1: attorney general is among the twenty two attorneys general Attorney
Speaker 1: general attorneys judge, it's so stupid twenty two of these
Speaker 1: of these losers who are screaming bloody murder and suing
Speaker 1: the Trump administration because my research grants. All right, so first,
Speaker 1: let me let me address the AIDS thing over in Africa,
Speaker 1: because you got you got the press, but you also
Speaker 1: have like African leaders, and there's all sorts of different numbers.
Speaker 1: I see six million keep getting thrown around. So, uh,
Speaker 1: if the US apparently doesn't send the AIDS money, if
Speaker 1: that's what you call it to Africa, six million people
Speaker 1: are going to die of AIDS and I don't want
Speaker 1: six It's because I don't want six million people to
Speaker 1: die of AIDS. But like, is is our US dollars
Speaker 1: the only thing keeping them from dying of AIDS? I'm
Speaker 1: genuinely asking, like, what is the money doing over there?
Speaker 1: Ross and I were talking about this off the air,
Speaker 1: and I did look it up. Ross, You're mostly correct.
Speaker 1: The vast majority of the monies that the US and
Speaker 1: some other countries, there's actually a group of countries that
Speaker 1: do this are used for edge you can, right, So going, hey,
Speaker 1: don't want to get AIDS that don't do this, or
Speaker 1: here's best practices, you know, really the stuff you got
Speaker 1: in sex said, and I understand that, but like, you
Speaker 1: guys can't do that. I think most adults have a
Speaker 1: reasonable understanding of how you can largely prevents yourself from
Speaker 1: getting AIDS or or an STD for that matter. Right,
Speaker 1: it's not full proof, but like, why are we paying
Speaker 1: for that over there? And why is it the lynchpin
Speaker 1: that's stopping this, and why don't you discuss one of
Speaker 1: the big problems which I'll point out that never gets
Speaker 1: brought up in these situations. One of the reasons that
Speaker 1: they have issues with AIDS and other STDs over in
Speaker 1: Africa is not because people don't necessarily know how to
Speaker 1: protect themselves, but because you have a significant rape culture
Speaker 1: in a lot of these countries. Look it up. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't even have to believe me, you can you
Speaker 1: think I'm alone on the radio. It's a big problem.
Speaker 1: I think South Africa has one of the highest rape
Speaker 1: rates in the world, which when you think of South Africa, yeah,
Speaker 1: it's you know, it's it's different than it was even
Speaker 1: ten years ago, but still it's it's it's one of
Speaker 1: the most advanced countries on the continent, and you have
Speaker 1: these issues. So you have some other cultural issues that
Speaker 1: are that are problematic, that also contribute to this. And
Speaker 1: I don't know how US dollars are stopping that. That's
Speaker 1: a that's a law enforcement problem within your own country.
Speaker 1: So again that talking point, Trump's gonna kill six million people.
Speaker 1: They'll make bumper stickers, just wait for it. And then
Speaker 1: here's the other one. If we don't give the research money,
Speaker 1: all the all the researchers are are, they're all gonna
Speaker 1: lose their jobs. And obviously here in North Carolina we
Speaker 1: have a lot of people who work in research capacity.
Speaker 1: We have you know, some top level universities. All of that,
Speaker 1: you guys spent twenty seven percent, twenty seven percent of
Speaker 1: all allocated National Science Foundation. I have it here right
Speaker 1: in front of me. This according to the Senate Commerce Committee.
Speaker 1: They found that of the two billion in funding the
Speaker 1: National Science Foundation handed out for quote unquote science and
Speaker 1: research projects, twenty seven percent went to DEI initiatives. So again,
Speaker 1: this is the problem with all of this stuff, with
Speaker 1: what DOGE is finding all of it. Okay, the problem
Speaker 1: is it's this mindset that well, it's a justifiable use
Speaker 1: of money, and in people's minds it's not okay. So
Speaker 1: to quibble about whether it's stealing or not is not
Speaker 1: really the point people think that being stolen from. Because
Speaker 1: you're telling us that you got to go ahead and
Speaker 1: you got you got to spend this money on these
Speaker 1: comic books in Peru or the trans Opera and Colombia,
Speaker 1: which are the big examples. You know that it's legitimate spending,
Speaker 1: and most people don't think it is because you're saying, well,
Speaker 1: we're doing science. We're doing science and research. You tell
Speaker 1: people that, and then you point out, yeah, we're trying
Speaker 1: to cure cancer. Trump's gonna set us back on the
Speaker 1: cure for cancer by ten years or whatever the stupid
Speaker 1: number I saw. You're not doing cancer research. You took
Speaker 1: a fourth of that money into a pseudo science that
Speaker 1: has no benefit, has nothing to do with cancer research,
Speaker 1: or you know, the things that you'll purport that they're
Speaker 1: spending the money on. That's like USA. They're like, oh,
Speaker 1: it feeds all the starving kids. No, no it doesn't.
Speaker 1: In fact, it doesn't even come close. It's like ten
Speaker 1: percent of it actually goes to anything similar to that.
Speaker 1: So you're presenting with your best case, and yet all
Speaker 1: I got to do is look at the spreadsheet and
Speaker 1: realize that you flushed a half billion dollars essentially just
Speaker 1: down the toilet for DEI initiatives. You're not good stewards
Speaker 1: of the money, So don't come at me with this.
Speaker 1: Trump's going to do this. You're the reason we're here.
Speaker 1: If you really cared about starving kids in Africa, or
Speaker 1: cancer research, or you know, the AIDS crisis in parts
Speaker 1: of Africa, you would dedicate every dollar to it. You'd
Speaker 1: have a lot stronger argument. There's a reason when they
Speaker 1: do those commercials for the price of a cup of
Speaker 1: coffee per day, they pan around this village and it's
Speaker 1: emaciated kids with flies on them, because people are sympathetic
Speaker 1: to that, and people wouldn't mind as much. But that
Speaker 1: wasn't what you were doing with the money. So good
Speaker 1: luck with your lawsuit. But don't sit here, Oh, all
Speaker 1: the cancer researchers at UNC, you're gonna lose the job.
Speaker 1: I don't know, why don't you just fire the twenty
Speaker 1: seven percent of people that got DEI grants for what
Speaker 1: is supposed to be medical research and anyone who was
Speaker 1: involved in that. I think that that probably would soothe
Speaker 1: a lot of people and then come at me and
Speaker 1: be like, hey, but we do have this research program
Speaker 1: that's making big strides on Alzheimer's or cancer or whatever
Speaker 1: it is, and then make that case, and you know what,
Speaker 1: You'll probably get funded for a lot of that stuff.
Speaker 1: But you're not. You're gonna run around. He's trying to
Speaker 1: kill six million people. He's trying he wants everyone in
Speaker 1: Africa to have AIDS. We're all just sick of you people,
Speaker 1: and it's all you got. You're all Jasmine Crocketts screaming
Speaker 1: like a lunatic.
Speaker 3: I saw one of our listeners yesterday on Twitter, Mandy.
Speaker 3: She was saying, all those condoms that we were going
Speaker 3: to send to Gaza, why don't we send them to
Speaker 3: South Africa?
Speaker 1: Yeah, well yeah, yeah. But again, there's other issues contributing
Speaker 1: to this that nobody wants to talk about.
Speaker 4: And like.
Speaker 1: The audio of the former Kenyan president, he's like the
Speaker 1: only dude over there that gets it. We played that
Speaker 1: the other day. You sit there telling all these other
Speaker 1: African leaders or former leaders at some conference. He's like,
Speaker 1: what are you crying? About you don't pay taxes to America,
Speaker 1: maybe you should invest some of this instead of having
Speaker 1: you know, your harem of mansions and wives and stuff.
Speaker 1: And like, dude, you ever watch a documentary on like
Speaker 1: the Dictators of Africa trying to out crazy at each other.
Speaker 3: You know you've had like these these reports before and
Speaker 3: the like from John Stossel, remember him from ABC?
Speaker 1: I think he's yeah, yeah, I still he still does.
Speaker 1: He still does a web series on YouTube. I watch
Speaker 1: it all the time.
Speaker 3: He's talking about, Yeah, they send this money over there,
Speaker 3: and it goes to all the wrong people.
Speaker 1: Right, one hundred percent. So again, if if if you
Speaker 1: want to help the kids, and you're you're genuine about it,
Speaker 1: I know that there's a lot of people who are
Speaker 1: and and and I'm here for you, right. I A
Speaker 1: lot of people don't want anything going over there, but
Speaker 1: I I there are some things that do make sense.
Speaker 1: Staving off diseases in Africa before they come to the
Speaker 1: US is not necessarily a bad investment. I'm not talking
Speaker 1: about ads, but like you know, a Bola and stuff, like,
Speaker 1: I get it, And there's a lot of people didn't
Speaker 1: Kyle volunteer in Africa with the Peace Corps.
Speaker 3: It was in the Peace Corps.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it was in the Peace Corps over in Africa.
Speaker 1: Why because he cares? And I also think he's now
Speaker 1: terrified of snakes. He told me some crazy stories. But
Speaker 1: like I get that, and I'm here for that and
Speaker 1: and and God bless you. And there's there's so many
Speaker 1: people that from a religious standpoint, right, I have a
Speaker 1: client who I didn't I'm sure he wouldn't care, but
Speaker 1: I'm not gonna say who it is. I have a client,
Speaker 1: one of my longest running clients, who dedicates a big
Speaker 1: portion of his year. And this guy is an entrepreneur.
Speaker 1: He makes a bunch of money. He's got a bunch
Speaker 1: of businesses to going to Honduras or Guatemala or Cuba.
Speaker 1: I think he just went to Cuba, right, And and
Speaker 1: it's part it's part of his religion, his Christianity and
Speaker 1: how he how he gives back and helps, God bless
Speaker 1: him and people like that. And if that's what you had,
Speaker 1: then you would have a stronger argument. But you don't.
Speaker 1: You have this other stuff that's that's lunacy, and and
Speaker 1: you're making it harder for people who do care. Okay,
Speaker 1: Rased agent cares not enough to show up on a Monday.
Speaker 6: But other than that, Yeah, and I don't know why
Speaker 6: or how, but I somehow during that game ended up
Speaker 6: rooting for the Eagles.
Speaker 1: I can't believe it. I did. Was I took the
Speaker 1: money line bet on them?
Speaker 6: Yeah, well had that, But the rest of the things
Speaker 6: I did not. So let's just say the Russian game
Speaker 6: for the Eagles was it where it needed to be.
Speaker 1: But that's okay.
Speaker 3: I think the country collectively needed to see that ass whoopin.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I think so too. I think so too. I
Speaker 6: think many enjoyed it. Many enjoyed it. But I understand that.
Speaker 1: You're conflicted because you're Cowboys and it's the division thing
Speaker 1: and all that. But right, but I did get I
Speaker 1: did find my part. Yeah, they came. It was a
Speaker 1: whole different scheme they came in. It was they called
Speaker 1: it a three something, I can't remember what it was,
Speaker 1: but it worked. Yeah, and you know what, that's how
Speaker 1: can That's what Kansas City did during one of their
Speaker 1: previous Super Bowls. They basically showed up at the Super
Speaker 1: Bowl running an entirely different scheme and the Eagles just
Speaker 1: did it to them. So yeah, that's fine. I'm good
Speaker 1: with it. Sorry you're so we're here with the bad news.
Speaker 6: Unfortunately, if anybody was really paying attention to what actually say,
Speaker 6: and I mean I know everybody does, but last week
Speaker 6: I kind of hinted that, you know, not going for
Speaker 6: winter weather yet, but there were some indications that maybe
Speaker 6: there would be a look at there, Durham, Orange, Allamance,
Speaker 6: points North Granville Counties all under winter weather advisories. That's
Speaker 6: until seven o'clock tomorrow morning. Right now, the freezing line
Speaker 6: looks like it's southern person into central Granville Counties and
Speaker 6: points west and worth of that where we're seeing some
Speaker 6: light snow and sleet. So elsewhere it looks like it's rain,
Speaker 6: but there may occasionally be a little sleetter freezing rain
Speaker 6: mixed in in these scattered areas of precipt right now.
Speaker 6: But it's really into Virginuary got the heavier snowfall and
Speaker 6: bigger problems with wintery weather, so occasional rain and shower,
Speaker 6: some snow and sleet may mix in at times, especially
Speaker 6: in the previously mentioned advisory area. Today and everybody basically
Speaker 6: staying in the mid upper thirty so kind of a
Speaker 6: raw day today or rain tonight and tomorrow, and again
Speaker 6: there may be some snow or ice in some spots.
Speaker 6: If you are traveling north especially and west and northwest,
Speaker 6: just be careful. There could be some icy travel or
Speaker 6: some slippery travel, and more wet weather tomorrow night, the Thursday. Finally,
Speaker 6: I think Friday a dry day, but more rain for
Speaker 6: the weekend.
Speaker 1: Oh fun.
Speaker 6: It looks like temperatures will get a little bit out
Speaker 6: there towards the weekend. Yeah, would look good, man, terrible week.
Speaker 1: It was fine because it was basically an indoor activity
Speaker 1: on Sunday, right, No, okay, not this time. Sorry, all right,
Speaker 1: so fix that and we'll talk in it out. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's good. Yep, he's on it. Oh and then how
Speaker 1: can I I just remembered as Ray was talking, remember
Speaker 1: doctor Campbell, right, you know you'd be here, you know,
Speaker 1: making money in the States, putting pacemakers in or whatever
Speaker 1: he does all day. And remember he went to the
Speaker 1: Cannibal Islands and we mocked him and they didn't even
Speaker 1: need them.
Speaker 3: He barely survived though, Yeah.
Speaker 1: They almost made a doc pocket out of him.
Speaker 3: Yeah. It's crazy the numerous amount of people that I've
Speaker 3: talked to that have gone into the Peace Corps and
Speaker 3: you're like, oh my god, that must have really changed
Speaker 3: your life. You must have felt like you made a difference.
Speaker 3: The vast majority of the ones that I've spoken to,
Speaker 3: and there's been a bunch, have all felt like it
Speaker 3: was a waste of time because of the resources and
Speaker 3: of the effect that actually had going there.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, no, no, no, and it can be. I've
Speaker 1: talked to people that have done missionary work in some
Speaker 1: of these places, and while they they're happy that they
Speaker 1: did it, it's the same thing. They're like, you know,
Speaker 1: we were down there for two weeks, and we could
Speaker 1: be there twenty four to seven, and there's still just
Speaker 1: so much poverty and misery, and there's so many contributing actors.
Speaker 1: So and then these guys are are taking twenty seven
Speaker 1: percent of money that might be able to help so
Speaker 1: they can give it to somebody. Is that that dui,
Speaker 1: that fat lady in the in the stretchy suit that
Speaker 1: makes you swear off your whiteness or whatever. I can't
Speaker 1: remember what her name is. So no, absolutely not rejected.
Speaker 1: Make your case for the stuff that works in one.
Speaker 1: This is from This is from the article that we
Speaker 1: uh tweeted out so you can go look at it.
Speaker 1: Gerald Steinberg, a former astrophysis physicist, I can speak as
Speaker 1: part of a think tank analysis. He and his group
Speaker 1: tracked US humanitarian aide, so food, medical supplies, that kind
Speaker 1: of stuff, and in some instances over half of it
Speaker 1: flowed from uh North that one of the one of
Speaker 1: the north of probably Libya, which one is one of
Speaker 1: the North African countries, this is important, one of the
Speaker 1: Islamic countries. They then found it. They found it went
Speaker 1: to Lebanon, Gaza and Yemen. They just gave it to
Speaker 1: Hamas and the Hooti's and all that, so you get
Speaker 1: the humanitarian aid. It'd go in and then they'd give
Speaker 1: it or they'd sell it, or however they dispersed it.
Speaker 1: They wouldn't even give it to their own people. And
Speaker 1: I'm glad we get a chance, especially on it day
Speaker 1: like today where I could probably do three hours with him,
Speaker 1: a chance to talk to Senator Ted Budda joins us,
Speaker 1: good morning, how you doing.
Speaker 4: Hey, good morning, great to hear you.
Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna I got three things I want
Speaker 1: to get to and but I want to start in
Speaker 1: the Middle East. So this is the headline from CBS.
Speaker 1: Trump issues ultimatum threatening fragile ceasefire. So basically he said,
Speaker 1: release the rest of the hostages. You have till noon Saturday,
Speaker 1: or everything turns to you. It's going to be bad.
Speaker 1: What do you understand that to mean on Saturday? If
Speaker 1: they don't, what does that mean?
Speaker 7: But he is demonstrating strength, he is saying the terms
Speaker 7: and the support for the peace fire, which gives sadly
Speaker 7: gives Hamas a little bit of breathing room is over.
Speaker 7: First of all, we had a great win with getting
Speaker 7: Keith Siegel, who is from Chapel Hill, getting him back
Speaker 7: to his family. We are grateful for that, and that's
Speaker 7: all demonstrated because of Trump's strength and clarity on the
Speaker 7: national stage. But we have six Americans that are still
Speaker 7: being held by Hamas and they got to be released now.
Speaker 7: And so he's serious about this. He is not equivocating.
Speaker 7: He's not soft and unclear like Biden was. He's being
Speaker 7: strong and he absolutely.
Speaker 4: Needs to be.
Speaker 7: We need to get these hostages out and we need
Speaker 7: to get him out now.
Speaker 1: But okay, everyone totally agrees with you, but also people
Speaker 1: are like, that doesn't mean the US is going to
Speaker 1: start lobby and missiles off the battleship. Right, that's just
Speaker 1: we stand back and let Israel do their thing. Is
Speaker 1: that what you understand it to mean.
Speaker 7: I would say all options are on the table to
Speaker 7: protect American citizens.
Speaker 1: Okay, do we know that these six are still alive?
Speaker 7: We have, we have a lot of information and and look,
Speaker 7: I would just say it is important to have everyone home,
Speaker 7: if it's remains for some, if it's some alive, we
Speaker 7: hope as many are alive as possible, if not all
Speaker 7: of them, but if it's remains, that's important too, so
Speaker 7: that as Jewish they could have their time with Shiva.
Speaker 7: They could you have a proper funeral arrangement, but had
Speaker 7: their respect for the families that they deserve.
Speaker 4: That's what we need.
Speaker 1: They don't like you much in the Middle East, I'm
Speaker 1: assuming because you're a constant pain in their butt. So
Speaker 1: I didn't realize how many trips you'd taken over there,
Speaker 1: and some of the stuff going on with like guitar
Speaker 1: and some of the other folks. What was what was it?
Speaker 1: They had? They kicked Hamas out right, that was the
Speaker 1: big thing. They had to kick the Hamas people out,
Speaker 1: and they did eventually. So what what is the appetite. Look,
Speaker 1: what is the appetite over there for actually attempting to
Speaker 1: eradicate some of these folks move the Palestinians, which is
Speaker 1: something that Trump's talking about. What is the flavor in
Speaker 1: the Middle East? Because it's not like all these countries
Speaker 1: get along. Are we making more strides? Do we have
Speaker 1: a plan? Where are we at and what have you
Speaker 1: been doing?
Speaker 7: Look, American strength makes it better for everybody, not just
Speaker 7: us here at home, for the rest of the world.
Speaker 7: Not saying you have to overly medal and I think
Speaker 7: Trump is clear on that. You don't want to be,
Speaker 7: you know, a nation builder, but you want to be
Speaker 7: strong and you want to be clear, and we've got
Speaker 7: it's good.
Speaker 4: To have allies over there, like we at alued AAID.
Speaker 7: Air Force base in uh in cutter Uh. They you know,
Speaker 7: we have arrangements with them. But at the same time,
Speaker 7: they also share an oil field with the North oil
Speaker 7: field with the Run and a lot of a lot
Speaker 7: of Shia radicalism can see been there and there.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 7: They have been overly friendly to Hamas for the last
Speaker 7: five hundred days and that's a huge concern, which I'm saying, Look,
Speaker 7: we may have a ten billion dollar investment in Aludad
Speaker 7: Air Force Base. We have thousands and thousands.
Speaker 4: Of our men and women and airmen over there.
Speaker 7: But at the same time, we're not playing around when
Speaker 7: it comes to allowing the largest state sponsor of terror
Speaker 7: to have their way and affect our men and women
Speaker 7: like these hostages. So it's not right, and so I'm
Speaker 7: calling them out on it and have been for the
Speaker 7: last five hundred days.
Speaker 1: Let me let me switch to the home front here.
Speaker 1: It's the one month of the Trump President's not even
Speaker 1: a month, it's three weeks has been. I keep saying,
Speaker 1: drinking from a fire hose this pace. Did you expect this?
Speaker 1: Or is it crazy even to you that all of
Speaker 1: this is happening so fast.
Speaker 2: I don't measure it that way.
Speaker 7: I just go like, thank God, he's back, and he's
Speaker 7: back better than ever.
Speaker 4: He's got more energy.
Speaker 7: I look at someone who I was so proud of
Speaker 7: them in twenty sixteen when he won, but I think, look,
Speaker 7: they had never done this before. He wasn't. I came
Speaker 7: into office seventeen days before he did. I was sworn
Speaker 7: in on January third. He was sworn in on January twentieth,
Speaker 7: of twenty seventeen, and so we really started our political
Speaker 7: efforts at the same time. I was never elected to
Speaker 7: anything before Congress, and he wasn't before president. I was
Speaker 7: an outsider, a business guy. He was an outsider, a
Speaker 7: business guy.
Speaker 4: So I feel it.
Speaker 7: But I think him having four intervening years to think
Speaker 7: how he would want to do it, better, do it differently,
Speaker 7: I think it's.
Speaker 4: Made him all the more effective now.
Speaker 7: He did great in the first term, he's doing even
Speaker 7: better at.
Speaker 4: The second go round.
Speaker 7: And I'm just so proud of what he's doing. He
Speaker 7: is using properly the power of the executive as he should.
Speaker 7: I've got the conto copy of the Constitution open here
Speaker 7: on my desk here in DC, reading Article two and
Speaker 7: just focusing on the sixth word of Article two, which
Speaker 7: has vested the executive power shall be vested in a
Speaker 7: president of the United States, which means he is in
Speaker 7: charge of what the left is using as the administrator
Speaker 7: of the deep state. He is trying that that will
Speaker 7: destroy a country, and he is trying to bring that
Speaker 7: under control for the preservation of the United States for
Speaker 7: another two hundred and fifty years.
Speaker 1: How did it get here? How you've been there. You said,
Speaker 1: what you know eight years essentially right, twenty seventeen served
Speaker 1: in the House for you. I guess if people are new,
Speaker 1: you served in the.
Speaker 4: House six years some few years into the Senate.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and now you're into the Senate. Like you guys
Speaker 1: didn't know we were doing trans operas in Columbia. Like
Speaker 1: this is where people are having trouble wrapping their heads
Speaker 1: around because obviously I've heard you and others talk about,
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of waste up in Washington.
Speaker 1: What's being revealed is insane, and I just don't understand
Speaker 1: how we got here.
Speaker 3: So like what it.
Speaker 1: How was this not caught earlier? Helped me?
Speaker 7: Yeah, the discretionary spending in the administration down in the weeds,
Speaker 7: and he's calling it out right, this is not something
Speaker 7: that was going to be in a package of something
Speaker 7: that voted on. This is going to be the latitude
Speaker 7: of something in the executive branch in the uit, like
Speaker 7: for instance, in your case, we're talking about the USAID
Speaker 7: and then a bureaucrat in Guatemala does a or whatever
Speaker 7: country does a trans opera that's not a line item
Speaker 7: appropriation here in the Senate. So that's why Article two
Speaker 7: is so important. Article one, I think it's the most important,
Speaker 7: and I think that's why the founding.
Speaker 4: Fathers put it first. That's the house.
Speaker 7: In the Senate and those you directly elect. Then you
Speaker 7: also you have a president. Article two. He runs the show.
Speaker 7: That's why he is actually running the show.
Speaker 2: He is digging the.
Speaker 7: Stuff out, saying, you had no idea America. This is
Speaker 7: where your taxpayer dollars are going, and they are being wasted,
Speaker 7: and I am trying to bring it to heal. And
Speaker 7: the left is trying to enable them and saying we
Speaker 7: are opposed to ending the administrative state because they are
Speaker 7: about they are about power, they are about control, and
Speaker 7: they are about an agenda that is out of step
Speaker 7: with the American people.
Speaker 1: Some of your colleagues, Uh, do you think that some
Speaker 1: of your colleagues were literally profiting off of this? I
Speaker 1: find it very hard to believe that some of them weren't.
Speaker 1: In the way that you know, you steer some of
Speaker 1: this money to NGOs and then they have a little
Speaker 1: bit of interest or they have a relative, like some
Speaker 1: some of you need to go to jail up there.
Speaker 1: Maybe not you, but like somebody somebody is getting something
Speaker 1: because they're not making rational arguments. Literally, you have to
Speaker 1: thwising some of your colleagues. Is their argument is they
Speaker 1: weren't stealing it. We were openly spending it on gay
Speaker 1: opera or trans operas in Colombia and gay comic books
Speaker 1: in Peru, and and uh, you know, scholarships in Sri Lanka.
Speaker 7: Like, hey, you don't have you don't have to go
Speaker 7: to Sri Lanka.
Speaker 1: You're making me sound like a lunatic.
Speaker 4: So well you don't have to go that far.
Speaker 7: You could go right over here, uh, next to the Potomac,
Speaker 7: to the Kennedy Center. And so they had a conversation
Speaker 7: down at mar Lago this weekend and they they you know,
Speaker 7: they dug out. They find out the director is making
Speaker 7: one point four.
Speaker 4: Million dollars a year and has the final.
Speaker 7: Sale on these programs, including teenage trans programs at the
Speaker 7: Candy Center. If you want to if you want to
Speaker 7: be more comfortable transing as a team below the age
Speaker 7: of adulthood, then here's you come to your taxpayer funded
Speaker 7: Candy Center to find that out. And so we're digging
Speaker 7: this stuff out.
Speaker 4: It's unbelievable.
Speaker 1: What what are you going to? What can you do.
Speaker 1: And by the way, you uh, I say you, and
Speaker 1: I'm referring to Washington, so don't take it as an
Speaker 1: individual thing that worries. Yeah, you guys are do I
Speaker 1: need to come up and explain separation of powers to
Speaker 1: you guys, because I'm willing to do that. I don't
Speaker 1: understand how two judges now have made it so the
Speaker 1: Treasury Secretary can't read the numbers and all the money
Speaker 1: has to go.
Speaker 4: Out, Like I think what we're doing.
Speaker 7: I think this problem Okay, So what was that Thomas
Speaker 7: Paine said? If there is to be a fight, or
Speaker 7: if there's to be problems with it, be in my
Speaker 7: day so that my children might have peace. Trump is
Speaker 7: picking the fight. This will make it to the Supreme
Speaker 7: Court so he can reassert the power of the executive
Speaker 7: and deal with the very issue that you just raised,
Speaker 7: the separation of powers issue.
Speaker 4: It will come.
Speaker 7: Before the Supreme Court and it will deal with this
Speaker 7: and it needs to be dealt with. He needs the
Speaker 7: power of the executive so that he can unearth some
Speaker 7: of this trash that our taxpayer dollars have been spent.
Speaker 1: On the bigger issue than remain. I think you're absolutely correct.
Speaker 1: This will get fast track. Supring Court will flip it over,
Speaker 1: but it doesn't. How many federal judges are there fourteen
Speaker 1: hundred or something, I can't remember what the number is,
Speaker 1: A bunch. Yeah, How are there fourteen hundred people who
Speaker 1: can on a Saturday issue something that literally shuts down
Speaker 1: an entire branch of our government because they feel like it.
Speaker 1: That can't be what was intended with checks and balances?
Speaker 7: Right, Absolutely not, and so there will be a Supreme
Speaker 7: Court issue a court case over that.
Speaker 4: Where you have our work three.
Speaker 7: Yeah, trying to protect the administrative state, the left and
Speaker 7: Article one, the left in the House and the Senator
Speaker 7: trying to protect it, and the left with then that
Speaker 7: are activist judges within Article three, the judges.
Speaker 4: Are trying to enable it and protect it as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I hope that whatever the ruling is speaks to that,
Speaker 1: because that's just another level of insanity that's going on. Okay,
Speaker 1: now let's get over to your side of it. What
Speaker 1: can you and your colleagues do now that you have
Speaker 1: a you have a small semblance of power. Obviously don't
Speaker 1: have sixty votes for you work, but so that this
Speaker 1: level of what did you say, a discretion on the
Speaker 1: part of organizations, so they can just go out and
Speaker 1: do this stuff. How do you make that so it
Speaker 1: can't get this far? Again? What do you guys do?
Speaker 7: But this is what we can appropriate. I think that's
Speaker 7: the power of the power of the purse, which we
Speaker 7: do have, and I think you can be more specific
Speaker 7: on that. We can provide cover for the president and
Speaker 7: explaining in very conversation conversations like this casey and say like, look,
Speaker 7: we're Article two and or see we're Article one and
Speaker 7: we're protecting and agreeing with Article two in this.
Speaker 4: So I think there is the messaging.
Speaker 7: Cover, there's a legislative cover, and I think those two
Speaker 7: things are more than a couple of years worth of
Speaker 7: work to do.
Speaker 1: It looks like as they started digging into the National
Speaker 1: Science Foundation, roughly one fourth of the money. And this
Speaker 1: is a big deal obviously for North Carolina. We have
Speaker 1: we have universities, we do a lot of research here.
Speaker 1: The talking point is they're going to fire all the
Speaker 1: researchers and they're never going to cure cancer. But a
Speaker 1: fourth of this money was going to DEI stuff. They
Speaker 1: literally threw a fourth of it into a fire. So
Speaker 1: what what what is the right size because it will
Speaker 1: have impact here in North Carolina. And you would agree
Speaker 1: that there are legitimate research things going on that are
Speaker 1: groundbreaking here. So how do you fish through it.
Speaker 2: In this state?
Speaker 7: You look at it Lake where I'm closer to Wake
Speaker 7: Forest University and their medical research.
Speaker 4: There. You have the Triangle.
Speaker 7: Area RTP, great universities there that are doing real I
Speaker 7: mean billions of dollars of legit research. Children's disease, cancers, aging,
Speaker 7: Alzheimer's related research, all legitimate what they need to do,
Speaker 7: and this is a real issue, and so they are
Speaker 7: when you have too much overhead that you're paying, which
Speaker 7: instead of the direct research, it becomes fungible and they
Speaker 7: take that fungible money and they move it over to
Speaker 7: their preferred discretionary DEI dollars. So we're pulling that back
Speaker 7: and saying, hey, legit research is fine and the dollars
Speaker 7: are fine, but you can't use it on these discretionary
Speaker 7: dei worte programs which have nothing to do with improving
Speaker 7: people's lives. So, look, do you need a minute to
Speaker 7: get people from accounting one way to accounting another way?
Speaker 7: That's fine, I understand what the White House is getting
Speaker 7: at I'm supportive of that. Do you need, in practical terms,
Speaker 7: you know, a little bit of time to shift your
Speaker 7: bookkeeping from one methodology to another?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I get that.
Speaker 7: So I think Trump's right on this. And do we
Speaker 7: need a little bit of time to shift from one
Speaker 7: of the other. Yes, I understand that too, And I
Speaker 7: understand the complaints and the concerns of the universities.
Speaker 4: But I think there's a.
Speaker 7: Way that you can thread this needle, do the right research,
Speaker 7: use taxpayer dollars well, and get after this dei and
Speaker 7: waste of taxpayer dollars that Trump is calling out.
Speaker 1: I think the really egregious stuff should be easy. I
Speaker 1: understand there's going to be borderline. I'm not a scientist,
Speaker 1: so maybe you can explain to me, you know, why
Speaker 1: you're doing this if I don't understand. But like you
Speaker 1: mentioned Wake Forest University, I have a whole parody song
Speaker 1: because they got one hundred and thirty five thousand dollars
Speaker 1: to give monkeys cocaine. Okay, well, we're protecting that one.
Speaker 7: That one's yeah, that's its own bill right there.
Speaker 1: Hilarious. But I saw that the ten million was spent
Speaker 1: on transiene mice and monkeys not at wake Forest, but
Speaker 1: somebody brought that up. So like, there's a lot of
Speaker 1: low hanging easy stuff. And I don't know how some
Speaker 1: of your colleagues are making this argument that, oh no,
Speaker 1: it's fine because it technically wasn't stolen. This has to
Speaker 1: be ruinous to the Democratic Party the way that they're
Speaker 1: handling this, right.
Speaker 7: I don't think they got the message of November fifth,
Speaker 7: casey last year.
Speaker 4: I really don't.
Speaker 7: They are instead of saying that, oh hey, we need
Speaker 7: to remember the early days the Democrats were there was
Speaker 7: a little bit of naval gazing, a little bit of
Speaker 7: self reflection, and they said we really.
Speaker 4: Need to rethink. They quit rethinking.
Speaker 7: They quit naval gazing, and they stopped it and they said,
Speaker 7: you know what, We're going to double down on the
Speaker 7: stupidity that calls them to lose November fifth. And I
Speaker 7: was so, I was with President Trump for a dinner
Speaker 7: on Friday night, and he said, you know, it seems
Speaker 7: like they didn't learn.
Speaker 4: And I kind of hope they don't learn.
Speaker 7: As bad as it is, I think American people are
Speaker 7: waking up and saying these people are limitics, they're crazy,
Speaker 7: and they haven't learned from November fifth, So we're just
Speaker 7: going to keep winning. Look, you can't take a win
Speaker 7: for granted, we as Republicans, me as a conservative, we
Speaker 7: have to make sure that we're in touch with what
Speaker 7: people sent us here to do. I like to say,
Speaker 7: you got to win. You got to do what you
Speaker 7: said you're going to do when you ran, and you've
Speaker 7: got to stay there for as long as you can
Speaker 7: and do what you said you were going to do.
Speaker 4: So you can't come up here.
Speaker 7: And forget what you ran on and why people sent
Speaker 7: you here.
Speaker 1: All right, Hey, I really appreciate it. I got to
Speaker 1: let you go. We're up against it, but thank you
Speaker 1: very much, okay, and we'll be baglessed. And as it
Speaker 1: pertains to these judges who are just like, oh, I'm
Speaker 1: just going to write this one page thing on a
Speaker 1: Saturday and shut everything down in an entire branch of
Speaker 1: government basically with the irony, of course, is one did
Speaker 1: it to shut down the executive branch, and then the
Speaker 1: other one forced it to become the old executive branch,
Speaker 1: so like the rules are not even the same. But
Speaker 1: a Supreme Court decision that also speaks to this would
Speaker 1: be amazing. So not just to adjudicate these orders. But
Speaker 1: you know, this is this is how you deal with it.
Speaker 1: It deals, it's dealt with within its own branch, and
Speaker 1: there are there is a lot a lot of case
Speaker 1: law that instructs lower courts. It's what the Supreme Court does. Right.
Speaker 1: The Supreme Court does something, and it can be a
Speaker 1: procedural thing, right, and it can dictate how courts or
Speaker 1: law enforcement works.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: What happens when you get arrested, what the police have
Speaker 1: to do before they start questioning you. Miranda Rites that's
Speaker 1: named after a dude named Miranda, and it was a
Speaker 1: case that went to the Supreme Court. So if that
Speaker 1: is in fact what happens, that would be amazing. But
Speaker 1: you also have to like, I don't need any we
Speaker 1: don't want any shenanigans like where it somehow doesn't just
Speaker 1: rest the issue but also tries to score political points,
Speaker 1: because that's what we're undoing now. You know, when they
Speaker 1: announced yesterday that they were for it's Fort Bragg again,
Speaker 1: even though it never was Fort Liberty to me and
Speaker 1: anyone I've ever talked to, the first thing that I
Speaker 1: thought of is because the mayor of Fayetteville was whining
Speaker 1: about the cost and what it means, which the guy's
Speaker 1: a lunatic. But you might be the only person in
Speaker 1: Fayetteville who who liked that, because I've never met anyone,
Speaker 1: I've never spoke to anyone anywhere who thought it was
Speaker 1: liberty and not brag and didn't think it was dumb. Sorry,
Speaker 1: so I know you have to go with the party line,
Speaker 1: but maybe sit this one out. But the first thought
Speaker 1: I had is, I bet these a holes destroyed everything
Speaker 1: that said brag on it because it was It wasn't
Speaker 1: just about doing stuff. They did things to be spiteful
Speaker 1: that were unnecessary. Case in point, remember when they were
Speaker 1: selling the steal from the wall down there for like
Speaker 1: five bucks, stuff that we had paid thousands for they
Speaker 1: were doing they weren't doing that because they wanted to
Speaker 1: make five dollars. Literally one of those was sold for
Speaker 1: five dollars. You go look it up. Because they log
Speaker 1: all this. That's that's insane. There's no reason you do
Speaker 1: that except to send a message and an f you
Speaker 1: to your opponents. So immediately I thought, well, that's great.
Speaker 1: They just pull all the stuff out of the closet.
Speaker 1: Maybe they got the business cards. And then it dawned
Speaker 1: on me that I'll bet this administration destroyed a lot
Speaker 1: of that stuff, just get rid of it, because again
Speaker 1: it was it was about that. So so that's that's
Speaker 1: one thing too. I didn't get the impression that uh
Speaker 1: uh a bud didn't indicate it. But I don't think
Speaker 1: any of these I don't know that we're ever going
Speaker 1: to find out or put anyone in jail who might
Speaker 1: be a member of Congress who was essentially using because
Speaker 1: the whole thing is a money laundering operation at the
Speaker 1: end of the day, right, So, but I don't have
Speaker 1: confidence in any one's going to go to jail, which
Speaker 1: obvious clearly some people need to, and not just because
Speaker 1: I want to jail opponents that you can't convince me
Speaker 1: with the amount of fervor that these politicians are out
Speaker 1: arguing possibly the worst political position ever right or in
Speaker 1: the modern era. I guess right that you would hold
Speaker 1: a press conference to lose your mind that we're not
Speaker 1: doing trans operas in Columbia. You should be embarrassed. You
Speaker 1: should look at the folks who are purportedly on your
Speaker 1: side and go, you, guys, why would you do this?
Speaker 1: Like we don't mind a little create what are you
Speaker 1: doing It's the only way that makes sense to me
Speaker 1: is that they have to argue it because they realize
Speaker 1: that people could go to jail for what's going on,
Speaker 1: and maybe themselves. Like it makes me very suspicious because
Speaker 1: no rational person should stand there and go, no, this
Speaker 1: was a great idea. Oh yeah, flush a fourth of
Speaker 1: our research money down the toilet that we could spend
Speaker 1: on cancer, Alzheimer's or whatever research to defend that makes
Speaker 1: me feel like you're defending it because it's the only
Speaker 1: way to avoid them finding out about the other stuff
Speaker 1: and the other stuff that may involve you. But you know,
Speaker 1: I'm speculating, but I'm also pretty certain on this. Look,
Speaker 1: Ross and I are psychic. Case in point, remember when
Speaker 1: people are getting all those electric cars up where it
Speaker 1: stows a lot, and we're like, well, that's dumb, because
Speaker 1: anyone who's ever used anything with a battery understands that
Speaker 1: batteries and cold they don't like each other. Nope, they're
Speaker 1: not fans of each other. It is in fact, for
Speaker 1: anyone who does any cold we like, if you go
Speaker 1: to like a a hunting a hunting camp or something,
Speaker 1: we bring a bunch of backup back because you got
Speaker 1: batteries for every everything's got a battery now rechargeable or
Speaker 1: you know, just standard batteries. Half the hunting equipment that
Speaker 1: I have has batteries. Right, And if you go and
Speaker 1: you're doing like an elk count, one of the things
Speaker 1: you have to do is you got to figure out
Speaker 1: where you're gonna store your batteries. So you wrap them
Speaker 1: in a blanket. You can put them near wherever the
Speaker 1: camp stove is not too close. But like it's something
Speaker 1: you consciously think about. So the idea that the idea
Speaker 1: that here we go. The Canadian study shows that electric
Speaker 1: vehicles sucking the cold is not news to us. We've
Speaker 1: long purported this. Remember the video in Chicago during that
Speaker 1: cold snap last year where they were just abandoned priuses
Speaker 1: everywhere or whatever electric cars because people couldn't get anywhere.
Speaker 1: You get a little gridlocked, they're running the battery life
Speaker 1: is dying on them. They were abandoning them. The video
Speaker 1: from in front of O'Hare Airport, people just abandon their
Speaker 1: electric cars because they were waiting too long to try
Speaker 1: to get over there because all the flights were jacked.
Speaker 1: So yeah, so what does what does the Canadian government do? Well,
Speaker 1: they do to study, and they found after spending a
Speaker 1: bunch of their money. And I think we actually kicked
Speaker 1: in on this somehow, because there's a US university tied
Speaker 1: to this. Yeah, so Canadian Automobile Association Montrea or to
Speaker 1: Ottawa University. Oh no, I guess it is all in Canada. Whatever.
Speaker 1: We waste money on stuff too. Found that electric batteries
Speaker 1: are electric vehicles in the cold lose for their battery life.
Speaker 1: While they're simultaneously trying to mandate that these become a
Speaker 1: thing within ten years and they haven't solved this. And
Speaker 1: by the way, did you know this during high electrical
Speaker 1: use usage in many places including the entire state of California. Right,
Speaker 1: so in Los Angeles, the city and the state when
Speaker 1: they were having the rolling brownouts they were for you
Speaker 1: were forbidden from charging your electric car. Okay. One of
Speaker 1: the other things that causes a lot of energy usage
Speaker 1: is cold weather, extreme cold weather. People are running the heater,
Speaker 1: they're running a lot of stuff. It SAPs a lot
Speaker 1: of power. You can't charge your car during that. Just
Speaker 1: bad decision after bad decision and money thrown away on
Speaker 1: obvious studies that if you just give the money to
Speaker 1: Ross and I will tell you don't have to make
Speaker 1: people work or nothing. We're here for you. All right.
Speaker 1: Oh I love this. By the way, I saw this
Speaker 1: yesterday real quick. Is raced agic there. He'll appreciate this too.
Speaker 1: So all right, well we get something. Let me start
Speaker 1: this story. So you know the old joke Ray where
Speaker 1: if you go to Africa, they probably think the Bills
Speaker 1: won three Super Bowls in a row, right, because they
Speaker 1: were in the merch, right. So I didn't realize this.
Speaker 1: So I guess eight years ago we stopped sending that
Speaker 1: stuff to these charities. I don't know why. I mean,
Speaker 1: people need shirt. It's even if they say, you know,
Speaker 1: Kansas City three p Right, there's some shirts floating around
Speaker 1: out there, and apparently they just stopped doing that. Well,
Speaker 1: they have restarted and they will again be donating them
Speaker 1: to charities. And among the things the charities do is
Speaker 1: they they hand these shirts out impoverished nations. So cheese fans,
Speaker 1: cheese fans. If you go to l like Honduras, they
Speaker 1: you know, they'll think you on or something.
Speaker 6: So yeah, and you know Bills fans too.
Speaker 1: I mean you could still catch it.
Speaker 3: By the way, it's four not three, it's four.
Speaker 1: Four four right four.
Speaker 6: Sorry, it's funny how to make Yeah, not a lot
Speaker 6: of that stuff makes it back to the United States.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I had never photos do They're hilarious.
Speaker 6: Right, Yeah, I've never seen like the shirt for the
Speaker 6: losing team make it back and then somebody kind of
Speaker 6: wearing it around. It's kind of stranger that that.
Speaker 1: One of the funniest things I ever saw is I
Speaker 1: was watching TV when I was and I was I
Speaker 1: was in South America, and I had the tea and
Speaker 1: they were interviewing this woman, this old little old granny Rain,
Speaker 1: and she's wearing a Cheetahs gentleman's club hat and she
Speaker 1: clearly has no idea what she's wearing. I saw the front.
Speaker 1: I took a photo of it on the TV. It's hilarious.
Speaker 1: And yeah, she's talking about she makes like she makes
Speaker 1: the best like candy of some sort, and she's got
Speaker 1: her cheatest gentleman's hat on.
Speaker 6: I don't even know what that means, right, Right, you
Speaker 6: never heard sure, don't know, never heard of anything out
Speaker 6: of that anyway.
Speaker 1: Right, All right, So real quick, Rain on everybody's parade.
Speaker 6: Okay, yeah, Rain might be a little sleep mixed in
Speaker 6: at times. This morning I got a little batch of
Speaker 6: precept showing a little bright banding just east of Raleigh
Speaker 6: and Durham. Now that's moving on off into Wilson County,
Speaker 6: so there could be a little sleep or wet snow
Speaker 6: mixed in at times. But there are wonder weather advisories
Speaker 6: some of our northern counties and especially into Virginia where
Speaker 6: there'll be more snow and sleet, So at times northern Vance, Warren,
Speaker 6: Granville Counties and that way, there could be a little
Speaker 6: bit more sleet and snow, so travel cautiously if you
Speaker 6: are going north. Cold rain elsewhere, mid upper thirties the
Speaker 6: next couple of days in near forty tomorrow, we'll rain
Speaker 6: continuing through tomorrow night and Thursday, so we're kind of
Speaker 6: on again, off again. I really think it's west, well west,
Speaker 6: northwest and north where we've got to worry about wintery
Speaker 6: and icy precipitation. Are some ice storm mornings actually a
Speaker 6: couple of counties north northeast of Ashville, so it could
Speaker 6: be some ice in some spots too, but cold rain
Speaker 6: for most of us, at least the high population center's
Speaker 6: Triad triangle, even Ashville probably just cold rain with even
Speaker 6: though they got a winter weather advisory, there may be
Speaker 6: better chances. Have seen some ice further north and snow
Speaker 6: as I mentioned, into the big cities in Virginia and
Speaker 6: even up near the nation's capital. So it's like some
Speaker 6: winter there but not here.
Speaker 1: Okay, good, well, that sucks for them, all right, thank you, sir.
Speaker 1: We'll chat tomorrow. We'll come back with Jeff Bellinger. Hang on,
Speaker 1: Jeff Bellinger, Jeff, what's happening?
Speaker 8: Well, morning, case Federal Reserve chaired your own. Powell goes
Speaker 8: before the Senate Banking Committee about an hour from now
Speaker 8: for his first the first of a semi annual report
Speaker 8: to Congress. He'll address the House Financial Services Committee tomorrow.
Speaker 8: Several lawmakers say they have questions about President Trump's tariffs
Speaker 8: and other policies and their potential impact on the economy.
Speaker 8: A product parents cannot do without could become more expensive
Speaker 8: because of tariffs on goods imported from China. Newell Brand
Speaker 8: says it will be forced to hike the prices on
Speaker 8: its Greatco brand child car seats unless they're exempted from
Speaker 8: the levies. Coke Cola shares moving higher in pre market trading.
Speaker 8: Customers were willing to pay more for SODA's energy drinks
Speaker 8: and juices. Cokes profit topped forecasts in the latest quarter.
Speaker 8: Optimism among small business owners declined some last month. The
Speaker 8: National Federation of Independent Business says members are uncertain about
Speaker 8: how they'll be affected by the Trump administration's economic policies.
Speaker 8: There are also concerns about the Fed's paws on interest
Speaker 8: rate cuts. We talked about this last week. The scarcity
Speaker 8: of eggs and their high cost getting the attention of criminals.
Speaker 8: Authorities now are investigating the theft of hundreds of eggs
Speaker 8: from a walk in refrigerator at a cafe in Seattle.
Speaker 8: That theft happened just days after thieves hit an egg
Speaker 8: distribution trader in Pennsylvania. Trader Joe's and some other chains
Speaker 8: now are limiting egg purchases to keep selfish restaurant owners
Speaker 8: from cleaning out a market's entire stock of eggs, and
Speaker 8: more than half of all Americans casey planning to celebrate
Speaker 8: Valentine's Day. This is according to the National Retail Federation.
Speaker 8: The NRF predict spending. Let's get this right, project spending.
Speaker 8: We'll set a record twenty seven and a half billion dollars, candy, flowers,
Speaker 8: greeting cards, evenings out, and jewelry are the most popular
Speaker 8: categories in that order.
Speaker 1: Casey, so I have to go loot and hoard eggs? Now?
Speaker 1: Is that what you're telling me? Apparently?
Speaker 7: So?
Speaker 1: Ah, man, I just I wanted to take a nap
Speaker 1: today and now I got to clean out the eggs. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, okay, appreciate it, have a good day. Take
Speaker 1: care there you Gollinger grave hoarding toilet paper. Back in
Speaker 1: the day, I remember rice, they were hoarding rice. Now eggs,
Speaker 1: you get on that, man, all right, check this out.
Speaker 1: How many of you like going to the zoo? How about?
Speaker 1: First of it's kind furry zoo, because that's the thing now,
Speaker 1: and yes it is. The people in the outfits, this
Speaker 1: is this is crazy man, all right. So and remember
Speaker 1: the dude who got the suit, so you look like
Speaker 1: Lassie the collie and it's like hard to tell there's
Speaker 1: a dude in there. Apparently that's the dude who opened
Speaker 1: this thing. So, and it caters to furries and non
Speaker 1: furries alike. So check this out. So the zoo doesn't
Speaker 1: have animals, is it kind of does? It's got literally
Speaker 1: furries that are then in their own cages and displays.
Speaker 1: They have zoo keepers that come out give them commands
Speaker 1: like this thing is really He's thought a lot about
Speaker 1: this while sitting in his last outfit. I guess. So
Speaker 1: there's two ways you can go. One you could just
Speaker 1: go to see the weirdness. Don't have to be dressed
Speaker 1: in a furry suit, so that's a thing. Or you
Speaker 1: can you can do the zoo experience. For three hundred
Speaker 1: and fifteen dollars, Customers will be allowed to don one
Speaker 1: of their suits. I guess they have some suits you
Speaker 1: have to be. If you're over six foot, you can't
Speaker 1: do it, so I guess I'm out six foot or taller.
Speaker 1: But if you're anywhere in the five foot range, even
Speaker 1: to four eleven, they have suits for men and women.
Speaker 1: Ever three hundred and fifteen dollars, they'll put you in
Speaker 1: a suit, show you how it works. I realize there's
Speaker 1: a learning curve, and then you will be placed in
Speaker 1: your own exhibit where a zoo keeper will and also
Speaker 1: zoogoers can throw a ball for you. A zoo keeper
Speaker 1: will come out and give you commands like it's the
Speaker 1: shamouse show. And I guess people will applaud and throw
Speaker 1: treats to you. Look, is it harmon me? No? Is
Speaker 1: it absolutely is absolute lunacy, Yes, a little bit. Oh man. Also,
Speaker 1: you can't see this is where this is where it
Speaker 1: starts to get dark. And during your time there, as
Speaker 1: the zoo keeper is doing that, the guests, if you
Speaker 1: allow them, can pet you. So there you go. Now,
Speaker 1: thankfully it's over in Tokyo, so you're not going to
Speaker 1: accidentally wander into it probably, But yeah, and apparently the
Speaker 1: slots for the show up and be a Zoo animal
Speaker 1: are filling up fast. He says. There's been a lot
Speaker 1: of popular response and many folks are planning on taking
Speaker 1: part during the opening week, which I guess is this week.
Speaker 1: So if you want to do that, that's the thing
Speaker 1: that you're going to have to fly to Tokyo. All right,
Speaker 1: that'll do It's yeah, I'm not gonna have time to
Speaker 1: get into this other thing here. I just do you
Speaker 1: know that Luigi Manngioni or whatever, the dude who killed
Speaker 1: the guy he got he is going he got three
Speaker 1: hundred thousand for his legal defense because they just had
Speaker 1: to like facilitate getting the money from the GoFundMe and
Speaker 1: then putting it in an account that he can use
Speaker 1: to pay his lawyers and stuff. Three hundred thousand shoots
Speaker 1: a dude in the back in the middle of New York,
Speaker 1: allegedly
