Speaker 1: A lot of people.
Speaker 2: Rosses loaned a bunch of audio this morning, so.
Speaker 1: It's you know, it's gonna be a busy show. We're
Speaker 1: a lot to get into.
Speaker 2: In fact, if I could just get this thing to
Speaker 2: play nice this morning, there we go. It should be
Speaker 2: a very successful week, all right, coming up on the
Speaker 2: show we got of course, we didn't do a shutdown,
Speaker 2: so Chuck Schumer and then Chuck Schumer apparently decided that
Speaker 2: that's probably not a good way to go. And then
Speaker 2: Trump said a like really sarcastic congratulatory tweet or truth
Speaker 2: or whatever you want to call it. So Schumer, who
Speaker 2: he was calling literally a Palestinian last week, is now
Speaker 2: his his fake buddy. So again it's just and then
Speaker 2: you know, everyone's outraged over it, and then the moonbats
Speaker 2: are on the Sunday shows and nothing really changed, and
Speaker 2: oh except one thing. Only a judge can just shut
Speaker 2: down all deportations, or at least things he can, and
Speaker 2: he can literally order planes turned around.
Speaker 1: And then the.
Speaker 2: President just landed him in El Salvador anyway and dumped
Speaker 2: a bunch of trendy or ragua dudes off at that
Speaker 2: super prison they just built. So it's a constitutional crisis.
Speaker 2: So basically, I mean, it's not really, but they will
Speaker 2: tell you it is, and you're going to be greeted
Speaker 2: with that this morning, so just prepare yourself. So it's
Speaker 2: a long about way of saying that everything's the same
Speaker 2: as it was, right except for this little fun stat.
Speaker 1: Right here, which I.
Speaker 2: Took great interest in yesterday because I have been told
Speaker 2: several things. I have been told that he's already flipped
Speaker 2: it fascistic, something has to be done. We're essentially TikTok
Speaker 2: where Germany in the late thirties at this moment. So
Speaker 2: there was that I was told that, I was told
Speaker 2: that any all this financial stuff he's doing, we're cooked economically.
Speaker 2: And then I see like stuff costing less, specific things
Speaker 2: that I was told for weeks that were the greatest
Speaker 2: indicator of financial success on the part of a president,
Speaker 2: things like eggs, Like how many times did you hear
Speaker 2: about the price of eggs for the first, you know,
Speaker 2: month of month and a half of the administration? Right,
Speaker 2: I was told that it is the single greatest indicator
Speaker 2: of economic success. And then they went down, and then
Speaker 2: gas went down and inflation went down, and now we're.
Speaker 1: Not talking about that anymore.
Speaker 2: But yet Donald Trump now has the highest approval rating
Speaker 2: he's ever had. If you follow stuff like this and
Speaker 2: believe all these poles, he's tied I should say he's
Speaker 2: tied it. But he's on an upward trend right now,
Speaker 2: which is weird because it has been the constant drumbeat
Speaker 2: about how everything's hell in a handbasket and we're pretty
Speaker 2: much going to be in a theological dictatorship here within
Speaker 2: I don't know, probably by Friday and today's Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 1: You don't even want to think about this stuff.
Speaker 2: You want to dip out of work early as you
Speaker 2: have an excuse to drink on a Monday and not
Speaker 2: hang out with your coworkers.
Speaker 1: But how do you.
Speaker 2: Comport the you know, all the different news stories, the
Speaker 2: things that are happening, and how my financial future at
Speaker 2: the moment feels. I don't feel as imperiled, I think
Speaker 2: probably a lot of you. But you have questions, right
Speaker 2: because you're the media saying all this stuff. So it's
Speaker 2: it's interesting because people feel more unsecure financially, but they
Speaker 2: have a higher approval or a more secure approval or
Speaker 2: excuse me, a more positive image of the person driving
Speaker 2: the train, So you have to figure out, Okay, well,
Speaker 2: what's the disconnect there? And once again it feels like
Speaker 2: it might be the media maybe not giving you an
Speaker 2: honest assessment of things, And if you don't know things,
Speaker 2: ask things.
Speaker 1: Like here's the deal, I will tell you right now.
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know for sure how I don't know that
Speaker 2: there are honest arbiters out there. Of Trump's tariff strategy.
Speaker 2: I understand the part where they're used as a device
Speaker 2: and a negotiating weapon. But long term, if you're a
Speaker 2: if you're going to try to transition the US back
Speaker 2: to more of it being funded by people who want
Speaker 2: the privilege of doing business in the greatest economic market
Speaker 2: in the world, and you want to you want to
Speaker 2: right size taxes or eliminate them in many cases all together, well,
Speaker 2: it raises a lot of questions. Does what does that
Speaker 2: look like in the What does that look like in
Speaker 2: the short term?
Speaker 1: Right do you do? You do?
Speaker 3: You?
Speaker 1: Maybe do a recession? I who the hell knows? How
Speaker 1: long do you get to stick it out?
Speaker 2: If you know, say you're two or three years out
Speaker 2: of retirement or doing a big purchase or something. I
Speaker 2: don't know, So I literally I gotta like text the
Speaker 2: financial guys that we work with on the show so
Speaker 2: I can ask questions, so I can sound smart.
Speaker 1: That's how that works. I finally was just like, I told,
Speaker 1: what's that?
Speaker 4: A few things? What one, it smells like glue in here? Like, yeah, really,
Speaker 4: how does that? How does that impact inflation? To a gas?
Speaker 4: Was it was two seventy two this morning?
Speaker 1: He asked?
Speaker 3: It was?
Speaker 4: It was amazing.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I pulled eggs were keeper this weekend?
Speaker 1: Asparagus? What's I don't know about that? Yeah, you wouldn't know,
Speaker 1: would you.
Speaker 4: But a glue really bad rug glue or something, Well,
Speaker 4: it's new carpet or it's not new carpet all the
Speaker 4: way yet but soon. But also gases like it was
Speaker 4: to seventy two, so.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh you just said it's two seventy one, So
Speaker 1: which is it?
Speaker 4: No, it's two seventy two.
Speaker 1: Where is that sheets?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 4: It was it sheets?
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 4: I really did do like a double take. It was like,
Speaker 4: oh my god, how much is the loach? How much
Speaker 4: was the peach shake this weekend? I did not do
Speaker 4: the peach shake this weekend, And it was really tough.
Speaker 1: You were busy, were your business weekend.
Speaker 4: It was really tough.
Speaker 1: Yeah, were you busy this weekend?
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, we did a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: How many did you get? I just just cut it.
Speaker 1: How many did you get?
Speaker 4: I did not get any peach shakes this weekend?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, no, you know what I'm talking. Oh you
Speaker 1: know what I mean. How many did you get?
Speaker 4: I have no idea what you're talking about?
Speaker 1: How many? And not just you, how the whole family?
Speaker 2: How made you get? How many fascistmobiles did you vandalize?
Speaker 2: How many Nazis? How many? How many did you drive
Speaker 2: around indiscriminately looking for other people's vehicles that had, you know,
Speaker 2: were made by that Nazi and then you took it
Speaker 2: upon yourselves to vandalize the vehicle.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's not really a thing we do.
Speaker 3: We did.
Speaker 4: It doesn't sound like everything what everyone.
Speaker 2: Was doing over the weekend. That yeah, dude, judgment by
Speaker 2: the news I cool. Apparently apparently, well that's uh. Everyone
Speaker 2: spent their weekend just randomly vandalizing people's teslas, although there's
Speaker 2: a lot of them are not.
Speaker 1: Real good at it because now they're in jail.
Speaker 4: No, I do think the cyber truck looks stupid, but
Speaker 4: I'm not going to vandalize it. I'm not gonna lie
Speaker 4: what it does pass me. I say that that's a
Speaker 4: stupid looking vehicle.
Speaker 1: I'm withholding judgment.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I can't.
Speaker 4: It's just my initial reaction.
Speaker 2: I'm like, no, here's the thing I want to I no, no, no,
Speaker 2: I totally feel you it because it does it looks weird. Yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna hold withholding judgment only because I got to
Speaker 2: ride in the really fast Tesla when they first came out.
Speaker 4: No, I'm saying, like, I think the Tesla is the first, right, Yeah,
Speaker 4: but I'm saying I just and there's nothing it's Elon
Speaker 4: Mosk's politics.
Speaker 1: You can have an opinion and be normal.
Speaker 4: That reaction it drives buying them, like that's stupid.
Speaker 1: And you're like, oh, I want to carve a swastika
Speaker 1: and no, no, no, no, oh.
Speaker 2: Do you understand Do you understand that guy in New York?
Speaker 2: You know why he got caught. This is this is
Speaker 2: the funniest part about this, because what is the thing
Speaker 2: you know about the cyber truck? What is the thing
Speaker 2: that like you saw Remember when Joe Rogan and Eli
Speaker 2: were talking and they did their thing and then the demos.
Speaker 2: What do you know about the cyber truck from a
Speaker 2: physical design standpoint? You shoot him, right, They're all tough
Speaker 2: and stuff, you know, that's the thing. So the reason
Speaker 2: the dude in New York literally got nabbed by police
Speaker 2: is the truck was so hard to carve a swastika in.
Speaker 2: It took him so long.
Speaker 4: Yeah, it's like when the guy tried to blow it
Speaker 4: up in Vegas there.
Speaker 2: Yes it guys, it was so hard to physically carve
Speaker 2: in the swasta because you could see it that he
Speaker 2: took so long. The police got him. Trump Trumps must
Speaker 2: should hire him as his spokesman. Make lemonade out of this. Hi,
Speaker 2: I'm a I'm a moonbat dirt bag. I carved swastia.
Speaker 1: Cousin people's vehicles over political.
Speaker 2: And let me tell you the one that took me
Speaker 2: the longest the cyber truck, right, man, that thing's tough,
Speaker 2: but you know, and then he's like Jared from Jared
Speaker 2: from a Subway.
Speaker 4: Your weekend pace was great, right, if you carved so
Speaker 4: many swastikas, so many different things, your quota was all.
Speaker 4: You were so good, and then you ran into that
Speaker 4: cyber truck and dog cruise.
Speaker 2: The whole thing up. Man crews the whole thing up.
Speaker 2: But he said, now this is what I do. This
Speaker 2: is I am literally congrat by the way, Democrat, congratulations,
Speaker 2: you are the White Citizens Counsel.
Speaker 1: Again.
Speaker 2: You have decided that you have the political strategy of
Speaker 2: your party in many in many instances is fear, violence
Speaker 2: and intimidation.
Speaker 1: And you're gonna go with this.
Speaker 2: And uh, they used to have a name for that,
Speaker 2: that organization that once Democrats literally transitioned off of that.
Speaker 3: Ah.
Speaker 1: What was the name of it?
Speaker 2: Ah, three letters, try to remember, and it was and
Speaker 2: to keep it simple, it was the three same letters.
Speaker 1: Mmm. They had the the the robes and stuff, you know,
Speaker 1: the one anyway, congrats, there you go, because like you
Speaker 1: have to just the.
Speaker 2: Mindset that that many, that many people over the weekend
Speaker 2: would be like I can just vandalize that, and I'm
Speaker 2: the hero.
Speaker 1: Is a hell of a mindset.
Speaker 4: Not only that, but they're carving like sawastikas into the
Speaker 4: cars of of like cyber trucks owned by Jewish people.
Speaker 2: Right well, that was the New York one, right yeah,
Speaker 2: And that's how and at that point, you know, the
Speaker 2: Jewish guy just set them up right, and it's just
Speaker 2: like that.
Speaker 1: Yeah, just evil, just yeah. I saw it on Twitter.
Speaker 2: No, the guy, the guy literally is a Jewish dude.
Speaker 2: You're carving a swastika. You're bad at it, so the
Speaker 2: cops show up and then you cry, come on.
Speaker 1: You said ross.
Speaker 2: You saw the picture I retweeted of the dude cuffed up,
Speaker 2: biting his lip, trying to hold back tears. Again, I
Speaker 2: very seldom am I.
Speaker 1: Like good, good, good God. But that was.
Speaker 2: Mana for the soul right there. I don't know what
Speaker 2: the guy does for a living, but it should be done.
Speaker 4: These are the people that like to like destroy like
Speaker 4: political signs that we've talked about this before, right, they
Speaker 4: have to like set them on fire or pee on
Speaker 4: them or steal them. It's the same thing, but it's
Speaker 4: escalated to like vehicles right elon Tesla. And we've said
Speaker 4: it before, like when I see a political sign, I
Speaker 4: don't like. I look at it and I say huh,
Speaker 4: and I go on with my day. When I see
Speaker 4: the cyber truck it's nothing political, I go m and
Speaker 4: I go on with my day. I don't want to
Speaker 4: be like I need to carve something to that. Yeah,
Speaker 4: I says.
Speaker 1: They're a vehicle you will carve something into.
Speaker 4: Or no, I don't think there is okay, but that's
Speaker 4: like mental behavior, Like what is wrong with you?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Ah, well some would say doing the Lord's work. Well,
Speaker 1: they don't believe in the Lord.
Speaker 2: But you're you know, you're you're you're in the right,
Speaker 2: So and tell you you get those bracelets and you're like,
Speaker 2: how did how did this happen? Why didn't I just
Speaker 2: go sing a protest song off key in front of
Speaker 2: the front of the Capitol.
Speaker 5: Just play it a lot of mine?
Speaker 2: And by the way, why are you crying? This is
Speaker 2: the thing that kills me? Do you ross? We've talked
Speaker 2: about this. All these people think they're larp in the
Speaker 2: sixties right now, and it feels so good. You're not
Speaker 2: if you're crying and you're trying to get out of
Speaker 2: your trade, because that's the thing about civil disobedience. You're
Speaker 2: getting arrested to take the charge to tell the you
Speaker 2: know it's wrong what you're doing, but I'm willing to
Speaker 2: suffer the consequences. And then you hold up the peace
Speaker 2: sign and you give a flower to a cop or
Speaker 2: put it in his gun, you know, to test the
Speaker 2: wife and and and then that's it.
Speaker 4: If you're participating in some form of civil disobedience and
Speaker 4: you know there's not going to be any consequences for
Speaker 4: your actions, like AOC being you know, taken away in
Speaker 4: imaginary handcuffs. It's not actually civil disobedience or the Greta.
Speaker 2: Remember they kept recreating the Greta arrests. Yes, no, you're
Speaker 2: not in it, So own it, bro.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I would have had a lot more respect for that.
Speaker 2: Dude when when they because everyone's filming him now because again,
Speaker 2: it took so long to carve at Swaska, and so
Speaker 2: he's he's all cuffed up, and and I if he
Speaker 2: instead of bawling like a little whiny B word, he's like,
Speaker 2: I do it again, right, I Like, I can understand that. Okay,
Speaker 2: this guy's alone, but at least he's you know, he's.
Speaker 1: All in, bring me another car. Yeah, you better not
Speaker 1: be one in the prison. I'll be all over that.
Speaker 4: I see one of the cyber trucks in the yard, dude,
Speaker 4: it's on.
Speaker 2: It's Oh my god, I don't care if it's over
Speaker 2: the other side of the aar with the other people
Speaker 2: of different color. I'll go right over there. I don't care.
Speaker 2: But now he's just like what I do, well, i'd
Speaker 2: have to go to jail for this.
Speaker 1: No, sorry, man, you just not.
Speaker 2: You're not lie up in the sixties unless you're all
Speaker 2: in on this stuff. Absolute loans.
Speaker 1: I now I count four over the weekend.
Speaker 2: I'm sure there were a lot more before rests and
Speaker 2: then we you know, we had a couple there at
Speaker 2: the end of the week. So I don't know how
Speaker 2: long this how long live live this thing is going
Speaker 2: to be. But you know, we're five minutes away from
Speaker 2: a perfectly acceptable takeover your city, you know, lop off
Speaker 2: part of it as an autonomous zone and burn down businesses.
Speaker 2: Kind of weather across much of the US.
Speaker 1: What are we gonna do?
Speaker 4: It's just this follower mentality where like, you know, one
Speaker 4: day they told you you were a good person if
Speaker 4: you bought this car or drove this car, and the
Speaker 4: next day they're telling you you're a bad person if you
Speaker 4: drive this car or own this car. And you're just
Speaker 4: following a law.
Speaker 2: Hey man, you don't want to be wearing the last
Speaker 2: year's wardrobe, right, you know, in this case for for
Speaker 2: moon bets, you don't be caught out. You caught out
Speaker 2: in the Oh wow, but plaids that's so last summer.
Speaker 2: Eh and and and they're clueless.
Speaker 1: Man.
Speaker 2: One of the people over the weekend that was actively
Speaker 2: cluless is Senator Chris Murphy. He's on uh, I don't
Speaker 2: know nb's face then eight doesn't matter. He's on one
Speaker 2: of those Sunday shows and they're like for the upteenth time,
Speaker 2: for the upteeth time.
Speaker 6: Our new NBC News poll, as you just saw, shows
Speaker 6: the Democratic Party at an all time low approval rating.
Speaker 6: Why do you think Democrats are failing to connect with
Speaker 6: Americans at this critical moment of urgency?
Speaker 1: Would you describe?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, hang on his answer, which I'm sure
Speaker 2: is going to be a banger coming up in just
Speaker 2: a few minutes, because we gotta go to break here
Speaker 2: on the CaCO Day Radio program. Best show after the
Speaker 2: show is on the iHeartRadio app.
Speaker 7: Search Cacoda for the podcast on the iHeart radio app.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, we've never got a little Saint Patrick's Day.
Speaker 2: And also the very last acceptable bigotry in in local Weather.
Speaker 1: I have to do the rant every year.
Speaker 2: I will do it, and if you've never heard it,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna make a point which I'm not really trying
Speaker 2: to make a pup but I'm gonna make a point
Speaker 2: and we'll do that coming up here in just a
Speaker 2: few minutes. But first I'm hoping to get an answer
Speaker 2: here because while Trump is currently tied and on the
Speaker 2: up string for the highest approval rating he's ever had
Speaker 2: for the job that he's doing, a lot of people
Speaker 2: are like, hey, sure there's a lot of turmoil, but
Speaker 2: I like where this is going. The Democrat Party is
Speaker 2: at their lowest and it's important that they figure out
Speaker 2: why that may be. And so so yet another guestiman.
Speaker 2: Over the weekend, they had Senator Chris Murphy in there
Speaker 2: and kind of trying to see it. Maybe he knows,
Speaker 2: by the way, how did Chris Murphy become the biggest
Speaker 2: garbage human of.
Speaker 1: In his state as far as US senators go.
Speaker 2: Remember the other dude lied about being in Vietnam and
Speaker 2: Chris Murphy now with the all of the salacious behind
Speaker 2: the scenes, so you can look that up. Apparently it's
Speaker 2: the bigger dirt bag. So I did not see that coming.
Speaker 2: So anyway, so he's on face the people, you know,
Speaker 2: one of the shows this weekend, and he gets asked
Speaker 2: the question, which you heard, I'll replay it. What's up
Speaker 2: of the Democrat Party? What's the problem? What do you
Speaker 2: guys need to do?
Speaker 3: Ross?
Speaker 2: If you were a political consultant the Democrat Party and
Speaker 2: as said, hey, what what do you think we should
Speaker 2: do to turn this turn this franchise around? Would you
Speaker 2: have any recommendations maybe at the top of your head
Speaker 2: that might be helpful for them?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I would say probably the best thing you do
Speaker 4: is not act crazy.
Speaker 2: Okay, so you're gonna go and not act like a
Speaker 2: lunatic that people don't want to associate themselves with anymore.
Speaker 1: That's pretty good. That's pretty good for guys.
Speaker 2: You know, it's not technically a com political political consultant.
Speaker 2: How did you arrive at that? Is it because you
Speaker 2: have eyes and ears and stuff?
Speaker 4: Pretty much?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 4: Yeah, And I was just back off a little bit
Speaker 4: from the woke stuff.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 4: People are sort of tired of it, that's all.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Gavin Newsom gets it.
Speaker 2: Unfortunately, Josh Stein's doing a little of it, calling it
Speaker 2: right washing.
Speaker 1: We're going to go with that.
Speaker 2: So, h Chris Murphy, what do you think maybe just
Speaker 2: maybe all right? Well, it's hear the question and the answer,
Speaker 2: I'm sure he's onto something.
Speaker 6: Our new NBC News poll, as you just saw, shows
Speaker 6: the Democratic Party at an all time low approval rating.
Speaker 6: Why do you think Democrats are failing to connect with
Speaker 6: Americans at this critical moment of urgency?
Speaker 3: Would you describe?
Speaker 1: Well, it's what I just talked about.
Speaker 8: I mean, I think Americans want the Democratic Party to
Speaker 8: stand up and fight and to take risks. Listen, I
Speaker 8: understand that had we gone into a shutdown, even for
Speaker 8: a handful of days, it would have been difficult, but
Speaker 8: it would have sent a message that the Democratic Party
Speaker 8: is not going to be bullied by Donald Trump. We
Speaker 8: are not going to let them write spending bills unilaterally
Speaker 8: that cut programs for people we care about, that give
Speaker 8: the president new and extraordinary power.
Speaker 1: I think Democrats in.
Speaker 8: This country, but I think the broad middle of the
Speaker 8: public as well, want to see our party fighting in
Speaker 8: exceptional ways. That is the conversation that has to happen
Speaker 8: inside of the Democratic Party, inside our caucus. And if
Speaker 8: we don't get that right, if we continue to work
Speaker 8: with Republicans, if we continue to hand Donald Trump more power,
Speaker 8: we are going to lose our democracy.
Speaker 2: Yeah, So, Ross, you were one hundred percent wrong more lunacy,
Speaker 2: says Chris Murphy. Do you feel bad that you were
Speaker 2: that wrong? Because I mean this guy is a senator,
Speaker 2: obviously he probably knows more.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 4: You know, they should keep doing that, just keep doing it.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, not just keep doing it more?
Speaker 3: Right? Right? Right?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 4: You want more? Weren't doing it enough?
Speaker 2: There were not enough instances of you running around blocking
Speaker 2: traffic and gluing yourself to stuff and carving stuff and
Speaker 2: taking over buildings and stuff and bringing down r you know, out.
Speaker 1: Place I want to go eat at or my groceries.
Speaker 1: You need more of that.
Speaker 4: It's like an alcoholic that can't they don't understand that
Speaker 4: they're the problem.
Speaker 2: Well, no, if you just drink more, Yeah, you don't
Speaker 2: have to listen to people try to have interventions and stuff.
Speaker 1: Daddy, you know you never hear ah, I can't hear you.
Speaker 2: I'm drunk, right, So no, no, you need more of that.
Speaker 2: So that's why I was trying to figure out your numbers.
Speaker 2: See how many tesla's you and the family got this weekend?
Speaker 2: Like you're not off to a good start. You want
Speaker 2: to join all the cool kids, of course, Chris Murphy
Speaker 2: will not be out there carving stuff and Tesla's he's
Speaker 2: just sitting back fundraising off of it.
Speaker 1: So there you go, some good advice right there.
Speaker 2: I go ahead and do that, all right, eight eight
Speaker 2: eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1: Like you know, who gets it? Chess dot com gets it, Yes.
Speaker 2: They do, you know, like every other aspect of digital media,
Speaker 2: newsrooms former places where people used to go to disconnect
Speaker 2: from stuff, so like video game reporting and all of that.
Speaker 1: Like every other aspect, you.
Speaker 2: Got a bunch of you got a bunch of moonbats
Speaker 2: in there, you know, one of the Whether there's a
Speaker 2: website called Fark, I'm sure a lot of you know
Speaker 2: what it is or not. It's a news aggregator.
Speaker 1: It was always tongue in cheek.
Speaker 2: I actually know and have met the dude who started
Speaker 2: Fark because he used to do Schnitch, the Schnitch Show,
Speaker 2: his morning show in Tampa regularly, because he lives down there,
Speaker 2: and I actually got to meet him one time when
Speaker 2: I was down there.
Speaker 1: And I've always enjoyed the site.
Speaker 2: But I don't know a few years ago, we're going
Speaker 2: back to the first Trump administration, like the people who
Speaker 2: handled the site and the like, you know, handle all
Speaker 2: of the links to get up there, and the headlines
Speaker 2: are like you could tell like he's got a bunch
Speaker 2: of moonbats in there, because everything is a orange Man
Speaker 2: bad joke. And it literally forced me to stop using
Speaker 2: the site as the prep things.
Speaker 1: That just because every because it also it also.
Speaker 2: Influenced what stories they selected for the main page to
Speaker 2: make fun of so instead and they stopped with the
Speaker 2: really edgy humor because it might hurt feelings.
Speaker 1: And it's it's like everything else.
Speaker 2: So if you go to chess dot com, what do
Speaker 2: you think you will find there?
Speaker 1: And that would be.
Speaker 2: Very clear Chess c h E S S not chess
Speaker 2: as in c H E S T. Because I think
Speaker 2: if you go to the second one it may be different.
Speaker 2: Didn't check it, but no, chess dot com. What do
Speaker 2: you what would you expect if you were entering that
Speaker 2: into a into a browser like a let's go there.
Speaker 2: Maybe stuff about the game of chess, classic videos of
Speaker 2: you know, famous chess players.
Speaker 1: Maybe they found Bobby Fisher. Whatever.
Speaker 2: Uh, here's here's an eleven year old Magnus who's playing
Speaker 2: one of the best in the world. I mean, you've
Speaker 2: ever seen this video he's eleven or twelve, Magnus Carlson
Speaker 2: and he's playing. He's playing. He might be playing Casprov
Speaker 2: or somebody, and he's bored and he keeps getting up
Speaker 2: from the table because he's you know, he's he's head
Speaker 2: or eleven, so he's got that eleven year old attention span.
Speaker 1: It was caspar he's.
Speaker 2: Playing like it's a how that's a wild video. He's
Speaker 2: eleven year old who can't sit still, and he's just
Speaker 2: like and he just comes back and makes them and.
Speaker 1: He beats him. Now, oh he was a draw.
Speaker 2: Okay, I thought he beat him, but but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: He's an eleven year old dude, right, was like, how
Speaker 2: many of you have an eleven year old that can't
Speaker 2: sit still?
Speaker 4: And drive Kasparo a little crazy?
Speaker 1: I'm sure, dude, you know how disrespected I'd feel, because
Speaker 1: that's it.
Speaker 2: It's an ego thing at that point a little bit,
Speaker 2: and its here's an eleven year old. Chess is one
Speaker 2: of those few weird places where savant can come and just.
Speaker 4: Destroy you because you know, if you're a history and
Speaker 4: obviously Caspar is a student of the history of the game, right, yeah,
Speaker 4: he knows what's coming, He's like, this kid just drew
Speaker 4: with me, and he's like ten or eleven years old.
Speaker 2: Like he can't still right if he was, if he
Speaker 2: was in public, his mom would be yelling at me,
Speaker 2: you're not gonna you're not gonna get you sit down
Speaker 2: and you get your buppy when we get home. That's
Speaker 2: how it normally goes. It's like remember that scene in
Speaker 2: Goodwill Hunting where the one professor gets all like his
Speaker 2: whole world is destroyed.
Speaker 4: Professor Lambeau.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well no, no, no, the but first the other
Speaker 2: dude were the other guys having to tell the other guy,
Speaker 2: you're really smart, don't worry about it. Who was in
Speaker 2: there kind of helping helping him? Was that Lambeau was
Speaker 2: the guy who helped him, right, he was the main character.
Speaker 2: It was that other professor in that one scene where
Speaker 2: he comes in to like consult on it and Will
Speaker 2: tells him.
Speaker 1: This is done, this is child stuff. And the guy
Speaker 1: his whole.
Speaker 4: Worldview is just saying it's a burning like the paper,
Speaker 4: like the theorem in front of him, yeah, which.
Speaker 2: He's been working on to prove for like eight years
Speaker 2: or whatever. And here's a kid who gives zero f's
Speaker 2: just sitting there because the court told him he had to,
Speaker 2: and he's like, this is easy.
Speaker 1: This is insulting. There's eleven year old can't sit still
Speaker 1: and wants to treat.
Speaker 2: Can I get some liquorice? You're playing your cas bro?
Speaker 2: What the hell's going on? It's over at chess dot com.
Speaker 2: That's what I would expect.
Speaker 1: Instead, these people miss the boat.
Speaker 2: They're like, they're like the senator like that, we got
Speaker 2: to double down on all this insanity.
Speaker 1: So what do they do? They decided, you know what,
Speaker 1: let's uh, let's go ahead.
Speaker 2: We have to purge the great religious uh imagery of
Speaker 2: the game of chess, which is.
Speaker 1: How how old is the game of chess? More than
Speaker 1: five minutes?
Speaker 2: Okay, it's been around for a little while, but it
Speaker 2: has religious references a bishop.
Speaker 1: We got to rename this. So they like start appealing
Speaker 1: to chess players.
Speaker 2: Hey, let's uh what, we need to rename this because
Speaker 2: you know, bishop as religious connotations. And thankfully, the people
Speaker 2: who are chess enthusiasts are like, shut up.
Speaker 1: You're stupid, you're insane.
Speaker 2: Shut up, which was good to see, Like to these
Speaker 2: moonbats at chess, like you missed the boat.
Speaker 1: You had to do it.
Speaker 2: During the first year of the Biden administration. You had
Speaker 2: your window run around shaming everybody, changing everything, painting the
Speaker 2: street BLM in the lead up to the White House,
Speaker 2: which is gone. Now you can get away with all
Speaker 2: this stuff. But now people are like, yeah, we're done
Speaker 2: with this. You're all loons and the and the Democrat
Speaker 2: Party is going to double down. In Chess dot com,
Speaker 2: it's like, it's a good time to bring this up.
Speaker 2: Did you see uh? Do you see what happened over
Speaker 2: the weekend at Disney WW they decided to do the
Speaker 2: Snow week Snow White thing. They didn't have Rachel there.
Speaker 2: I guess her and Gal had a huge falling out
Speaker 2: and they just had Gal Gado there just trying.
Speaker 1: To salvage this.
Speaker 2: Because even Gal Gadot is like, I'm not I was.
Speaker 2: You ruined this, you destroyed everything. And so now they're
Speaker 2: they're like they were besties and now they're I guess
Speaker 2: they're they're frontemies.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't know women what the scale is there, but
Speaker 2: holy hell, man, people are done with this.
Speaker 1: And the chess.
Speaker 2: People who are some of them are a little bit
Speaker 2: of a little introverted don't like a lot of change there. Remember,
Speaker 2: these are guys, some of them who to win a
Speaker 2: match will put a buzzer up their butt. Okay, they're committed.
Speaker 2: It is the only day where it is socially acceptable
Speaker 2: for you to go ahead and uh in the local
Speaker 2: weather graphics, UH do really stereotypical things. And here's what
Speaker 2: I mean by that. You know how when you watch
Speaker 2: the weather like around Christmas and it's local weather, so
Speaker 2: it's you know, it's like Don swineker w one of
Speaker 2: these guys are like, oh, let's see if let's see
Speaker 2: what kind of weather Santa's gonna have, and then they
Speaker 2: put out like the hourly or the five day forecast,
Speaker 2: and and you have the uh, you know, you get
Speaker 2: the the graphics where Santa's kind of flying through one
Speaker 2: of the reindeers is jamming out, and that's.
Speaker 1: Perfectly acceptable and people like it. It kind of gets
Speaker 1: in the theme.
Speaker 2: But for Saint Patrick's Day, it's the only, you know,
Speaker 2: holiday that is like one of those holidays that's very
Speaker 2: you know, specific to a group or race of people
Speaker 2: where you can put up something that's crazy stereotypical. Like
Speaker 2: so I've seen weather packages where it's like, yeah, it's
Speaker 2: Saint Patrick's Day. And then like on the screen on
Speaker 2: the side is like a little cartoonish leprechaun who's clearly hammered.
Speaker 1: He's having trouble standing up right, and he's just well,
Speaker 1: Saint Patrick's day.
Speaker 2: Wooh, he's got a pot of gold in a bottle
Speaker 2: of Irish whisky or whatever.
Speaker 1: And that's fine.
Speaker 2: You can go ahead and do that, you know you can.
Speaker 2: You can use the Irish or a bunch of drunks trope.
Speaker 2: It's perfectly it's perfectly acceptable. You wouldn't do that on
Speaker 2: I don't know single to mile, would you. You wouldn't
Speaker 2: be like, all right, hey, it's May the fifth. Yesterday
Speaker 2: was a nerd holiday. We're I have to get over that.
Speaker 2: But now we're here, it's tequila day, and uh, we're
Speaker 2: gonna get me a small Mexican dude in a sombrero
Speaker 2: with a bottle of a gave.
Speaker 1: And make him drunk and then we'll put that.
Speaker 2: You would never do that. They'd burn they come burn
Speaker 2: your TV station down. Don't get me started. On Juneteenth.
Speaker 2: I gonna have a dude dress. It's just a little
Speaker 2: cartoon slave doing a jig woo them free right, you're
Speaker 2: gonna be You gotta.
Speaker 1: Get the maybe some moonshine in there because you have to.
Speaker 2: You know, you gotta do all the tropes. No, you
Speaker 2: never do that. They'd burn your other stuff down. Well
Speaker 2: on Saint Patrick's day, man, feel free, game on, do.
Speaker 1: Whatever you want. That's my beef every year. All right,
Speaker 1: real quick, Jamal, what's going on?
Speaker 9: I probably running to you.
Speaker 1: You borrow your muscle from the south side.
Speaker 9: From the Irish.
Speaker 3: I'm from the south side of the Iron, not from
Speaker 3: the north side, but from.
Speaker 9: The south side, the dream port of the south side of island.
Speaker 9: You know, we'll learned the clients it and if you
Speaker 9: had it on Geran tea you'll probably be talked about it.
Speaker 9: Bunch of light durs running down the TV have to
Speaker 9: eat their Sheril summer shot someone but to talk about the.
Speaker 1: Irish trans shop. Wait, how did you transition into a
Speaker 1: Swedish chef?
Speaker 4: I was gonna say that Barb Marley the Swedish chef.
Speaker 1: What's going on?
Speaker 3: I don't think there's a Swedish chef like Avenue Turkey,
Speaker 3: the neat poking Irish.
Speaker 9: I'm Jamala here from Ireland. Why are you why are
Speaker 9: you putting it down? You had it probably with the
Speaker 9: black Irish.
Speaker 1: And no galla that Obama was Irish all those years ago.
Speaker 2: It's I knew it was up so and I got
Speaker 2: me green chocolate, Navy brew plaid cleaving me bagpipes.
Speaker 9: So they see this, your rude, pleasant being me.
Speaker 1: Celebrated rosta banana? Are you? Chet Hanks? Are you?
Speaker 2: Is this Chet Hanks calling phone number eight eight eight
Speaker 2: nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1: That'll get things kicked off here in this hour, man.
Speaker 2: That first hour flew by, and it's mostly because there's
Speaker 2: just chock full of moonbats and audio today. So we'll
Speaker 2: get to some more of that coming up here just
Speaker 2: a moment, and we're gonna chat coming up at eight
Speaker 2: o five. I was, I was talking earlier about this,
Speaker 2: this disconnect between what the media is saying and what
Speaker 2: people are experiencing and what politicians are saying.
Speaker 1: Almost there's, you know, three different things going on.
Speaker 2: And even though right now Trump is now tied again
Speaker 2: his highest approval rating ever, and the Democrats, you know,
Speaker 2: for all practical purposes opponents have the lowest rating they've had.
Speaker 2: And uh, since I'm trying to figure out what it was.
Speaker 2: It was two thousand and two or three or something.
Speaker 2: The MEETIA would still tell you that everything Trump's doing
Speaker 2: is destroying the economy and everyone's future. And yet what's
Speaker 2: the first thing that Ross tells me this morning?
Speaker 1: He's super excited.
Speaker 2: About Yes, dude, gashes two seventy two with the sheets
Speaker 2: and wake forest man.
Speaker 1: So what's going on with all that?
Speaker 2: So I, uh, you know, we have different financial guys
Speaker 2: we work with, we're clients, but but also people I
Speaker 2: you know, I've gotten to know over the years. So
Speaker 2: if I have questions about stuff, I asked them and
Speaker 2: I I was texting Doug Ray's or a Greensborough guide.
Speaker 2: I'm just like just to help me so i can
Speaker 2: do a better job explaining that, Like is it just
Speaker 2: the media is one hundred percent wrong, because like there
Speaker 2: are some things that are tumultuous and and if you're
Speaker 2: somebody who just say it's there refreshing, you know, stock
Speaker 2: market tickers all day, you drive yourself crazy.
Speaker 1: So and I'm like, you know what, I just you
Speaker 1: just come on the I just have some questions and
Speaker 1: I'll just.
Speaker 4: Ask this on the er.
Speaker 2: And it's like it's important to be informed and if
Speaker 2: Trump is trying to do major transitions, there's going to
Speaker 2: be windows of time where maybe if if you know, hey,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna need access to this money, or we want
Speaker 2: to do this thing, or uh, maybe you know, maybe
Speaker 2: there's some better things out there from a financial perspective, Like, I.
Speaker 1: Don't know what it is because I'm not I'm not
Speaker 1: an economist, dude.
Speaker 2: I just know that the what I see on the
Speaker 2: ground doesn't necessarily comport with what I'm being told by
Speaker 2: the media, which is nothing new. But now we're talking about,
Speaker 2: you know, finances, possibility of a big transition, how taxes work,
Speaker 2: maybe even a recession, even though we just had a recession.
Speaker 2: But one they'll actually call a recession. That'll be interesting.
Speaker 2: So we'll we'll get into that coming up here at
Speaker 2: eight o five. Let me grab me a quick call
Speaker 2: real quick. We were talking about the sheer volume of
Speaker 2: lunatics who just decided, hey, yeah, you can go vandalyze
Speaker 2: a vehicle if it's got a Tesla medallion on it,
Speaker 2: feel free. Oh wait, there's consequences for my actions and then.
Speaker 1: Where they cry. So that was pretty much the weekend
Speaker 1: news cycle. Anthony, what's up?
Speaker 3: Well, first, of all, I want to say, you missed
Speaker 3: a perfect opportunity to dead name Jamal and his name
Speaker 3: today should be Jamison instead of Jamal.
Speaker 1: He told me what his name was in his weird
Speaker 1: Swedish accent.
Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, but what I was what I saw on
Speaker 3: Twitter all weekend was this. Then it was headed up
Speaker 3: by no other than Stella Parton the LaToya Jackson of
Speaker 3: the Parting Family.
Speaker 10: Yeah, talking about now.
Speaker 3: There's a there's protests, but the media is not reporting
Speaker 3: and in what universit does he live in at the
Speaker 3: media doesn't report something negative about about Trump.
Speaker 1: Well, because the media has got a battle with the
Speaker 1: part where a lot.
Speaker 2: Of these protests, Like we were talking last week with
Speaker 2: Steven Kent on Thursday and he went he literally drove
Speaker 2: by and went to where they did the Department of
Speaker 2: ed thing, which should be easy staff for and there
Speaker 2: was like six people there. And that's the that's the problem.
Speaker 2: Media likes to show these, but you can only get
Speaker 2: the camera in so tight, and so if you don't
Speaker 2: see if people don't see people there, they're like, ah,
Speaker 2: maybe this isn't as big a deal.
Speaker 4: So uh, it's it's.
Speaker 3: Setting them pushing tim walls every.
Speaker 5: Home there.
Speaker 1: Young Oh, it's two fifty eight Youngsville.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but then you got all the way to Youngsville,
Speaker 2: Sir and Ross. Other than to go to the station
Speaker 2: and Raleigh, he doesn't leave Wake Forest. I don't know
Speaker 2: if it's because he's got an anklet or what.
Speaker 1: But that's not people there.
Speaker 2: Well, that's where the it's where the pe I gotta
Speaker 2: let you go through. That's where the peach shakes are.
Speaker 4: So, I mean two fifty eight is pretty awesome though, Yeah, no,
Speaker 4: it's I I'm not knocking it, but like, I mean,
Speaker 4: how many people did you know, like around January where
Speaker 4: like people you know, like big dams would be like,
Speaker 4: so have gas prices gone down yet?
Speaker 1: Or they price every day going down? Every day?
Speaker 4: Was Yeah, And I'm thinking about what you said before
Speaker 4: you took Anthony's call about the recession. Do you realize
Speaker 4: that we lived through a time where we were most
Speaker 4: of us were like, hey, this is a recession. And
Speaker 4: in the middle of the Biden administration, the world was
Speaker 4: so wacky that they changed the definition of recession so
Speaker 4: we would not be in a recession.
Speaker 1: Well, they only changed it in the way they talked
Speaker 1: about it.
Speaker 2: It's if the from an economic definition standpoint, which is
Speaker 2: a definition that is utilized.
Speaker 1: People don't realize that they have.
Speaker 2: They have guides of words as to what they mean
Speaker 2: from a legal standpoint within the government. And and so
Speaker 2: recession still means the same thing, two consecutive quarters of
Speaker 2: downward growth. Right, that's still the definition as far as
Speaker 2: the US Department of Treasury is concerned.
Speaker 1: They just ignore.
Speaker 4: I remember us doing a story whereas like Merriam Webster,
Speaker 4: Wikipedia or somebody changed the definition of correct.
Speaker 2: But the government keeps definitions of what words mean because
Speaker 2: it's important from a legally standpoint, and they never changed it.
Speaker 1: So you're correct. Merriam Webster was.
Speaker 2: Like, we'll carry the water fewz yeah, yeah, yeah, no,
Speaker 2: so yeah, they'll change that back. In fact, they'll probably
Speaker 2: only need one consecutive quarter.
Speaker 4: It's been a week. It's been a round up a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 1: Guy's a monster. Yeah, So prepare yourself for all that fun.
Speaker 1: Uh there we go, All right, let me get over
Speaker 1: to this.
Speaker 2: Uh how speaking of people didn't get the memo, Let
Speaker 2: me talk to you, hoot, the rebels, the ones that
Speaker 2: are still alive.
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 2: What you had four years where you could sit there
Speaker 2: and fire your spud gun at the you know, the
Speaker 2: passing ships, and nobody was really gonna do anything to you.
Speaker 2: But what made you think under the Trump administration that
Speaker 2: this dude trump right now is you know that meme
Speaker 2: that says, I wish an mfor wood, right, It's that
Speaker 2: where the guy's flipping a coin into the into the
Speaker 2: wishing well there, and it's like, I wish, I wish
Speaker 2: a dude would all right, mfor wood, right, And just
Speaker 2: because they're just you know, the itchy trigger finger thing,
Speaker 2: what did you think was going to happen?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: You're in a ran proxy. You sit down there in
Speaker 2: the corner of one of the busiest shipping lanes in
Speaker 2: the world. You're not quite some only pirates because you
Speaker 2: don't want to go out there yourself. But you just
Speaker 2: kind of sit on the shore with whatever munitions the
Speaker 2: weird beard I totally gave you, and you just slinging
Speaker 2: at ships, and you got all the ships in the
Speaker 2: world to choose from. Right, You got flagships from every
Speaker 2: corner of the world, which is why there are multiple
Speaker 2: navies from all around there protecting those shipping lanes. All
Speaker 2: you have to do is not shoot at a US
Speaker 2: air craft carrier or any you know, a US naval
Speaker 2: ship or a US flagship that is underway and being
Speaker 2: protected by any any of our naval fleet.
Speaker 1: That's it. You can shoot it ninety nine but.
Speaker 2: No, no, probably we probably have a big percentage. But
Speaker 2: you can shoot it like eighty percent of the things
Speaker 2: that come by.
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: You can sit there like your buddies that time you
Speaker 2: made a potato gun, right, and you're just like, I
Speaker 2: wonder how many cows we could hit from here, not
Speaker 2: that I would ever do that, and by the way,
Speaker 2: and then get really like a foot of my behind.
Speaker 2: But still we had access to a lot of settling,
Speaker 2: and PVC and metal piping were very handy, and potatoes,
Speaker 2: you know, so and then we got h Then we
Speaker 2: moved up to cantalopes and pumpkins, which was great as
Speaker 2: we were bored. And you can do that, and you
Speaker 2: can sit there with your small munitions and occasionally some
Speaker 2: like old school Russian rocket launchers that don't really hit
Speaker 2: stuff and then just boop fire away and then hit
Speaker 2: like one out of every one thousand ships. But you
Speaker 2: just don't shoot at.
Speaker 1: The US ones.
Speaker 2: Why cause there's a guy who can like, elbow a
Speaker 2: button and your whole hillside disappears. You know that scene
Speaker 2: an iron Man Ross at the beginning where Tony starks
Speaker 2: like doing the demo and he's just the entire hillside
Speaker 2: blows up.
Speaker 4: Yeah, the Jericho scene.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it's just it's that whole scenehere. He turns around,
Speaker 1: arms up. He's like, look at what he made.
Speaker 2: Right, there's a there's an E three guy on a
Speaker 2: navy ship right now that if he bumps a button,
Speaker 2: that's what happens to your whole country, okay, And you're like.
Speaker 1: Well, I'm gonna shoot an ak at that ship. What
Speaker 1: what did you think was gonna happen? What the hell
Speaker 1: did you think was gonna happen? So what does Trump do?
Speaker 2: Apparently he is in the middle of a golf round.
Speaker 2: He's walking in and his spikes, he's got his golf
Speaker 2: shirt tucked in brod Ross. Did you see the picture
Speaker 2: of him see in the in their little mock because
Speaker 2: he's down in mar Lagos, So it's the situation room.
Speaker 2: You did see the picture in the red Maga hat
Speaker 2: and the shirt like the gulf, okay, but you saw
Speaker 2: the Maga hat.
Speaker 1: What was what was on the Maga hat. This is
Speaker 1: what I thought.
Speaker 4: I didn't see it was on. I just saw the
Speaker 4: little like McDonald's like headst.
Speaker 1: It's autographed by him, dude. Can you imagine?
Speaker 2: Can you imagine wearing hate for Sheriff Birch around with
Speaker 2: your autograph your hand that you wrote on there. That's dude,
Speaker 2: that's it's it's an ego thing, but it's funny. So
Speaker 2: he's sitting there in his you know, in his uh,
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: Country club appropriate attire, right shirt, tucked slacks, got the uh.
Speaker 1: I don't know if he had spikes on. I'm sure.
Speaker 2: I mean, you know, most clubs don't once you have spikes,
Speaker 2: but he owns the club, so maybe you can.
Speaker 1: But uh, he's sitting there and he's just like, you know,
Speaker 1: I do me a favorite. Could you blow up the
Speaker 1: southern tip of Yemen? And they're like, yes, sir, And
Speaker 1: then he just watched it. He's like, wow, look at that.
Speaker 1: They all uh, they all got vaporizes.
Speaker 4: It reminds me of the old Bill Hicks routine about
Speaker 4: the guys in the ship testing the missiles. You ever
Speaker 4: see here, where he's like the two guys are in
Speaker 4: the ship and he's like, Hey, Bobby, what's F fourteen doue?
Speaker 4: And he pushes the button. He's like and he goes, hey, man,
Speaker 4: you gotta run.
Speaker 1: You gotta run your checklist and he goes, cool, what's
Speaker 1: F fifteen do? And they just kiddy, man. I saw
Speaker 1: I saw yesterday the UH. I was watching again the
Speaker 1: this is the things.
Speaker 2: But if you're an Iran proxy, this is the thing
Speaker 2: uh the uh the time we inadvertently destroyed half of
Speaker 2: the Iranian navy.
Speaker 4: If you if you don't remember that story, let me
Speaker 4: just tell you that the real quick part of the story. So,
Speaker 4: so I was right at what was the impetus for it? Well, anyway,
Speaker 4: so this is under Reagan? All right, this is under Reagan.
Speaker 4: I can't remember what I oh, that's what it was.
Speaker 4: Iran was was blowing up KUWAITI oil takers right because
Speaker 4: OPEK was mad because Kuwait wasn't part of OPEC and
Speaker 4: then they were undercutting the price and it was screwing
Speaker 4: up Opex price fixing scheme.
Speaker 2: So Iran took it on themselves. This is during the
Speaker 2: Iran Iraq War too, because Iraq and Kuwait were kind
Speaker 2: of friends then and so they would blow up all
Speaker 2: the Raq stuff and we were fine with that, but
Speaker 2: then they started blowing up Kuwaiti stuff and that caused
Speaker 2: gas prices to go up.
Speaker 1: You know how we feel about that.
Speaker 2: So Iran started blowing up Kuwaiti oil tankers and the
Speaker 2: US was like, all right, send in all the fleets,
Speaker 2: and so we went there and Reagan decided, well, we
Speaker 2: have to do a proportional response. So what they were
Speaker 2: going to do is they were going to blow up
Speaker 2: one of their two main frigates and they were also
Speaker 2: going to blow up an oil processing thing that was
Speaker 2: on land but adjacent to the ocean there. And we
Speaker 2: decided that was going to be proportional. And so the
Speaker 2: way that they did it, Oh and I ran it
Speaker 2: also put sea mines all over and a US military
Speaker 2: ship hit one of those sea mines. Didn't kill anyone,
Speaker 2: but it almost sunk the ship. So we were big mad.
Speaker 2: So we decided one frigate, one oil thing, but we're
Speaker 2: gonna show up and we're going to like give them
Speaker 2: time to evacuate, and so we did.
Speaker 1: We rolled up there in.
Speaker 2: Both instances, and then we had a US aircraft carrier
Speaker 2: kind of hanging out in the back for doing like
Speaker 2: flyovers for verification, but not really part of it. So
Speaker 2: so we roll up to our two targets and then
Speaker 2: we get on the radio and we're like, all right, hey, hi,
Speaker 2: we're here from the US Navy and we're gonna blow
Speaker 2: up your refinery in like twenty minutes. You all should
Speaker 2: get out of there. And they did the same for
Speaker 2: the frigate. They're like, ah, you guys, we're gonna we're
Speaker 2: gonna blow this thing to Smotherings. But go to the
Speaker 2: oil refinery. They're sitting there, and and then the guys
Speaker 2: like we have fifteen more minutes, like yeah, sure, that's fine.
Speaker 2: And fifteen minutes roll around like all right, everybody's out,
Speaker 2: and we could see them leaving, and so then we
Speaker 2: think everybody's out. We're getting ready to blow it to Smitherings.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, some brave soul who
Speaker 2: had a mounted machine gun position adjacent to this thing
Speaker 2: started opening fire on one of the US ships, and.
Speaker 1: Some dude on the five inch gun just made his
Speaker 1: entire hillside disappear.
Speaker 2: And then all of a sudden, you see everybody else
Speaker 2: run out of the Weil refinery, and then we, you know,
Speaker 2: we blow it to Smitherings.
Speaker 1: All right, so half mission accomplished.
Speaker 2: We haven't blown up any of their their naval stuff,
Speaker 2: but that's coming because the other thing. And then we're
Speaker 2: off to find the frigate.
Speaker 1: And we think we have it.
Speaker 2: So we send one are the A sixes or whatever
Speaker 2: at the time, and they're gonna do flyovers and they're
Speaker 2: gonna determine that that's the frigate, and then we're gonna
Speaker 2: tell everyone, Hey, everybody, get in your lifeboats, get out
Speaker 2: of here, because we're gonna blow that thing to Smitherings.
Speaker 2: And remember these A six is they have, they're not
Speaker 2: allowed to engage. There's only two ways that they can engage.
Speaker 2: They're just for visual confirmation. And uh, the one is
Speaker 2: the president at the time, Reagan says, fine, you can
Speaker 2: go and blow things to Smitherings, because letting the ships
Speaker 2: do it, not the not the fighter craft, or or
Speaker 2: if some Iranian military dudes is dumb enough.
Speaker 1: To shoot at you.
Speaker 2: And so we literally tell them on the radio, hey,
Speaker 2: we're here for we're here from we're here from the government.
Speaker 2: We're not here to help, we're here to blow your
Speaker 2: ship up. Uh, and we're gonna do a visual flyby
Speaker 2: don't do anything except, you know, get your life boats
Speaker 2: out and get out of there.
Speaker 1: So what do you think? What do you think the
Speaker 1: Iranians did? They started shooting small arms.
Speaker 2: At fighter jets, and when the fighter jets goes, guys go, oh,
Speaker 2: well that's uh, look at that. That's uh, we're allowed
Speaker 2: to engage. So uh, we used harpoon missiles. They don't
Speaker 2: have a frigate anymore. And now we're we're like, oh, well, hey,
Speaker 2: we told them not to, and so now we're literally
Speaker 2: going back simply to clear the sea. Mins we're done
Speaker 2: with proportion, and all of a sudden, a Russian battleship
Speaker 2: shows up. Now we're freaking out. They get on the
Speaker 2: radio with the Russian battleship and I and there is
Speaker 2: this is this is this historically accurate.
Speaker 1: You can look it up.
Speaker 2: They're like, why are you here and they're like, we
Speaker 2: just came to watch that, the Russian said. And then
Speaker 2: the other Iranian frigate shows up and start shooting at
Speaker 2: us again. So we dropped one down the smoke stack,
Speaker 2: like we're killing womp wraps womp rats in Star Wars,
Speaker 2: even though the A six only had one thousand pound
Speaker 2: bomb if he got it down the smoke stack and
Speaker 2: it blew the ship to smitherings and then it took
Speaker 2: out a bunch of sideboats and we ended up decimating
Speaker 2: half their navy and we weren't trying. To my point is,
Speaker 2: don't shoot at American ships. Hoot these or you're gonna
Speaker 2: get firebomb back to the last century.
Speaker 1: And you did. And a guy by a guy in
Speaker 1: golf attire. We'll be back.
Speaker 7: Smart talk all day ninety four five w you PTI
Speaker 7: and the Triad and one six point one FM Talk
Speaker 7: in the Triangle.
Speaker 1: That was very nice of our listeners. I was trying.
Speaker 2: I mentioned that I was I had I've seen the
Speaker 2: video over the weekend of that the whole story I
Speaker 2: just told you about Iran, and then I was like, ah,
Speaker 2: let me find out what that guy who the dude was,
Speaker 2: so I can tell you.
Speaker 1: And I was looking.
Speaker 2: All of a sudden, somebody on Twitter is like, good
Speaker 2: to know that we watched the Fat Electrician, all right,
Speaker 2: So that's the that's the streamer's name, and he does
Speaker 2: a much better job of telling that Iran story from
Speaker 2: military perspective.
Speaker 1: It's really funny.
Speaker 2: So yeah, you want to go I try to see
Speaker 2: if there's like the video on Twitter, I would just
Speaker 2: recommend go to YouTube and just google Fat Electrician Iran
Speaker 2: and it pops right up. So and you know how
Speaker 2: YouTube leaks work on Twitter, so you're just better off
Speaker 2: doing it yourself.
Speaker 1: But yeah, if you want to, if you want.
Speaker 2: To hear the totality of that story, I just told
Speaker 2: you which is true, which is true. I did forget
Speaker 2: one thing in there, and I so I saw his video,
Speaker 2: but I've also I've also seen a full documentary about
Speaker 2: this thing. One of the funniest things that I kind
Speaker 2: of left out is with the oil refinery part, where
Speaker 2: some dude, even though most were evacuated, like I'm gonna
Speaker 2: be the hero with my you know, with the gun
Speaker 2: of rambow. And then some you know, some twenty twenty
Speaker 2: one year old on a Navy destroyer just like hits
Speaker 2: the F two key and your your entire.
Speaker 1: Position doesn't exist anymore.
Speaker 2: Like that didn't work out all to say the Houthi
Speaker 2: rebels man, you just need to take a break. This
Speaker 2: is time for vacation, right. You got to do the
Speaker 2: Putin strategy? What did Putin do under Obama? Took crimea right?
Speaker 2: You think he didn't want everything he's going after now. No,
Speaker 2: but you know, then Trump came in, He's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna take a few years off and then you know,
Speaker 2: lo and behold.
Speaker 1: He's like, oh, look at that. They just hired a
Speaker 1: vegetable for the job. And he's like going in like
Speaker 1: the houthis didn't get the memo. Man, you know what
Speaker 1: you look like?
Speaker 2: You look like that scene in Indiana Jones a little
Speaker 2: bit right where you're swinging your sword around.
Speaker 1: Well, look, how cool.
Speaker 2: I'm a ninja and what is what is what does
Speaker 2: Indiana Jones do? He pulls out a gun shoots him
Speaker 2: in the face.
Speaker 1: Done. That was a scene that wasn't even gonna exist,
Speaker 1: but it was just too funny they put it in there. No, Yeah,
Speaker 1: he just that over the weekend. I heard you were
Speaker 1: Indiana jonesy and.
Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I played the game on a Twitch. It
Speaker 4: was pretty funny. Yeah, and that scene Indian Harrison Ford
Speaker 4: just had really bad like diarrhea that day. Yeah, he
Speaker 4: had and to the bathroom and he was just like,
Speaker 4: can we just finish this scene right now because I
Speaker 4: have to.
Speaker 2: Go supposed to physically fight him. He's like, this will
Speaker 2: be easier and it's it's iconic scene, right.
Speaker 4: Yeah, they kept it in. They're like, that's great, Yeah, that's.
Speaker 1: What the hooties just.
Speaker 2: You're the dude swinging the h the sword man, the
Speaker 2: centaur or whatever the hell the thing is, like, God,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna get you. And you clearly see he's packing.
Speaker 2: What are you doing swinging a sword at somebody who's
Speaker 2: packing at open carrying? How do you think that's gonna go?
Speaker 2: The hooties, you, let's shoot at this Let's shoot at
Speaker 2: this ship that's got guns longer than any ship we
Speaker 2: have ever seen you possession of, uh you know, the
Speaker 2: Iranian navy or whatever. Yeah, we should fire at small
Speaker 2: arms fires.
Speaker 1: What that needs?
Speaker 2: So uh So when they turned that dude to miss
Speaker 2: on the radio, some other people were still getting out
Speaker 2: literally radio the ship back and we're like, we're not
Speaker 2: with him, We're we need a few more minutes. And
Speaker 2: then we got him out and then we uh we
Speaker 2: uh we we lit it up with the with the
Speaker 2: five inch guns and then we we sent there.
Speaker 1: It was seals that went in there.
Speaker 2: Well anyway, we said, or no, it was marines on that.
Speaker 2: We sent a bunch of marines and We're like, hey, Marines,
Speaker 2: what if we give you all the explosives and then
Speaker 2: we just we helo you over there, and then you
Speaker 2: can literally like set explosives on this whole thing so
Speaker 2: it blows up in one big boom. And the Marines
Speaker 2: were like, yeah, let's do that, and so we did.
Speaker 2: That's it's look it up, go go go watch it.
Speaker 2: It's a it's a really amazing story, but a cautionary tale.
Speaker 2: You know, maybe if the Hooties instead of just running around,
Speaker 2: you know, screaming and yodling in the desert there about
Speaker 2: whatever they're up to, maybe they should watch some YouTube.
Speaker 2: That's all I'm saying. Then you don't have Donald Trump
Speaker 2: sitting in there with his golf polo, going, what.
Speaker 1: Can we make that disappear? See that hill over there?
Speaker 1: I don't want to see it no more? Make it
Speaker 1: So by the way, Ross, we were president, would you
Speaker 1: be able.
Speaker 2: To risk and they'll certain resist the urge to at
Speaker 2: some point when you're giving a command like go turn
Speaker 2: that hill to.
Speaker 4: Miss go make it so I would not know I'd
Speaker 4: have to say it. You'd have to say it, and
Speaker 4: then dare somebody to call you out on it? Be like,
Speaker 4: you know what that sounds like, Captain, Captain of the Enterprise,
Speaker 4: You're like, that's not real. I'm the leader of the
Speaker 4: free world.
Speaker 1: Make it so.
Speaker 4: I'm still stuck on the fact that the other guys, like,
Speaker 4: once the guy attacked the ship, you mentioned how like
Speaker 4: the other guys were like, oh, no, that Bob. We
Speaker 4: didn't like Bob. He's always been an a hole.
Speaker 1: We don't Yeah, we.
Speaker 4: Don't like, we're not associated with Bob.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Can we have fifteen more minutes to get our
Speaker 1: stuff out of our lock? Please?
Speaker 4: Please let us live.
Speaker 1: They knew, They knew immediately, and the word did not
Speaker 1: trickle down to Southern Yemen hate groups there so, But
Speaker 1: of course, even though it's pretty clear that it was
Speaker 1: a bunch of hoothy rebels shooting at ships, according to AP,
Speaker 1: you're ready for this, this is the headline they run breaking.
Speaker 2: The Houthy rebel run health Ministry says the death toll
Speaker 2: from US strikes and Yemen has climbed to thirty one
Speaker 2: women and children because apparently, in the middle of the
Speaker 2: Houthy rebel shoot them.
Speaker 1: Up camp, they had a kid's hospital.
Speaker 2: According to them, that there's no they just AP just
Speaker 2: took the word of the Health Ministry of the houthis.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you would, dude.
Speaker 2: Number of daycares that they have inside, you know, military
Speaker 2: monkers over the Middle East is.
Speaker 1: Crazy apparently, and ap just ran it like, ah, this
Speaker 1: is what he did. How do we know? Bagdad Bob
Speaker 1: told us, Man, if you're too young, you remember bag
Speaker 1: Dad Bob. You missed out on some stuff. Do you
Speaker 1: remember Ross? Do you remember Bagdad Bob from the first
Speaker 1: Golf War back in the day.
Speaker 2: And then you know the Iraqi dude, he was the
Speaker 2: spokes he was essentially the press secretary for Saddam Hussein.
Speaker 2: And do you remember the videos of like three thousand
Speaker 2: Iraqi soldiers who would surrender to CNN cameraman like that,
Speaker 2: all that craziness, and then Bagdad Bob come out there.
Speaker 1: I'd be like, and we're winning. Everything's going great.
Speaker 2: That we said our we sent these three thousand troops
Speaker 2: over there and not a shot was fired outside.
Speaker 1: Yeah, because they gave up.
Speaker 2: They're like, hey, if I surrender, can you put me
Speaker 2: in a pow camp which would be better than living
Speaker 2: under Hussein?
Speaker 1: Thank you?
Speaker 4: But I mean, technically he wasn't wrong, right, What do
Speaker 4: you mean I mean he did not a shot was fired?
Speaker 2: No, no, yeah said bad dad Bob does it again?
Speaker 2: That guy was iconic man, and AP is like that,
Speaker 2: we got this. You're gone even know what happened to
Speaker 2: bag dab Bob? Do you get a missile up his butt?
Speaker 1: Or what does that? I'm execute him because he said
Speaker 1: something negative. I don't know.
Speaker 4: He works for MSNBC.
Speaker 1: Now, oh that's right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you gotta argue with Scott Jennings, who just owns him.
Speaker 2: I'm sure every single day, yeah, every single day, all right, But.
Speaker 1: We got our own idiots. We got our own idiots,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 2: Are you on the bandwagon that the NPR reporter intentionally
Speaker 2: hit Trump in the face with her boom mic?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I don't think so.
Speaker 2: It's it's fun to see people mocking on the air.
Speaker 2: I just think she hit him with a boom mic inadvertently,
Speaker 2: and he's gonna be okay.
Speaker 1: But here's what happens. You're concerned about the situation in DT.
Speaker 5: What are the hopes now to get the hot.
Speaker 4: He just became a big story to hyper.
Speaker 1: That is in a secret service, not dive on her
Speaker 1: those that's probably good.
Speaker 4: But I have seen like takes from the left like
Speaker 4: friends saying that you know, oh it was not only
Speaker 4: was intentional, but she she should be scared for her
Speaker 4: life now because Trump's gonna eliminate her because he's so
Speaker 4: pissed off about it.
Speaker 2: Well, let's see, you know what, let me let's why
Speaker 2: don't we go to our our presidential correspondent to former
Speaker 2: Philippine president d'Arte d'warte.
Speaker 1: What do you think should happen? My orders? Are them dead?
Speaker 1: You know this guy doesn't have a not a lot
Speaker 1: of range. We know, mister d'Arte, we're not going to
Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 2: How about the people have analyzed the tesla's even the
Speaker 2: guy who was crying because he vanalyzed the tesla, but
Speaker 2: because the tesla's painted and is so strong, it took
Speaker 2: him too long to draw the swastika on cyber truck
Speaker 2: that was owned by a Jewish guy that he ended
Speaker 2: up double parking to Subaru to do it with his
Speaker 2: car seats in there, and and then the police were
Speaker 2: coming and he ran away and he just left his
Speaker 2: car in the middle of the road. And then an
Speaker 2: hour later he's like, I have to go get my
Speaker 2: SuPAR u and then they put him in cuffs and
Speaker 2: he started crying, what.
Speaker 1: About that guy and and all the other shoot them dead?
Speaker 2: No, no, former President of Philippines d'Arte who had crocodile pits.
Speaker 2: He throw drug people into No, right at the Hague
Speaker 2: right now, you need to change.
Speaker 4: I was gonna say, I heard the Hague is so
Speaker 4: nice though this time of year.
Speaker 2: It is a nice time of the year to be
Speaker 2: at the Hague. Yeah, I want to go there. And
Speaker 2: you're just down the street from Amsterdam. You got the
Speaker 2: red light district there you can go. Uh, you know,
Speaker 2: busy day, busy day. So uh, all right, thank you,
Speaker 2: corresponded d'Arte. How about corresponded Race Stage. I guess oh fixed,
Speaker 2: look at that.
Speaker 1: Fixed it. Yeah, Cooper Rush is no more Cooper Rush. Yes,
Speaker 1: bet right at him. What do you need him? He
Speaker 1: got dak You're good to go.
Speaker 10: What's his name? Greer Grier has to take it a
Speaker 10: snap since like twenty nineteen.
Speaker 1: He holds the kicks though, so he's got all he
Speaker 1: holds the kicks.
Speaker 10: Now I feel better. Thanks for that. Yeah, I appreciate that.
Speaker 2: You don't need a Cooper Rush guy who looked like
Speaker 2: he might actually be around quarterback if given the opportunity.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't know.
Speaker 10: The Baltimore I don't know what we're gonna need. I
Speaker 10: really hope. I think they draft one. So we'll see.
Speaker 1: We'll see the Bills. Do you guys need some more
Speaker 1: quarterbacks for the Bills or some other guys they might
Speaker 1: trade you.
Speaker 10: Well, listen, we'll take anything at this point.
Speaker 1: Oh, that's becoming clear. Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 10: But then the Bengals aditionale a forty something million and
Speaker 10: one receiver and another I don't know what they paid
Speaker 10: both receivers.
Speaker 2: Cooper look, Cooper Cup if he's healthy, and cd LA.
Speaker 2: That's a pretty scary duo there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that could be.
Speaker 1: It could be.
Speaker 3: I don't know.
Speaker 10: It just ended up there in age too though, So
Speaker 10: I don't know. I worry about.
Speaker 4: Understand, some of these players we're going to give for
Speaker 4: anyway your team did yesterday. Just see the players were
Speaker 4: going to give you from the Bills. Some of them
Speaker 4: really enjoyed, like the poppy seed bagels. So I mean,
Speaker 4: if you test them, that's that's the poppy seed bagel.
Speaker 1: Yeah, gotcha.
Speaker 4: It's not steroids.
Speaker 1: Oh not, I got you, But you can't ask them
Speaker 1: about it. So don't worry about it so no kind
Speaker 1: of thing. All right, what's what's up?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 10: No listen? Rough day yesterday, I mean it wasn't widespread
Speaker 10: across the state, but uh I was covered on the
Speaker 10: TV network. Had a tornado warning at one point easter
Speaker 10: just east of the Triangle. Nothing confirmed. It looks like
Speaker 10: Guildford County hardest hit. I got at least a dozen
Speaker 10: wind reports here and some hen egg size hail, two
Speaker 10: inch hail, Lake Townsend.
Speaker 1: Some wind.
Speaker 2: Hold on, there's age sized hailed. You know my scam,
Speaker 2: You know the scam. I could run right now, that's right.
Speaker 10: See see you took the bait. You took the bait
Speaker 10: with the hen egg size hail, got it. Rockingham County
Speaker 10: reports of some hail, and then the wind reports coming
Speaker 10: in Montgomery County a couple of wind reports. As I said,
Speaker 10: nothing widespread, but from a severe weather outbreak that occurred
Speaker 10: that the storms did weekend as they rolled east and
Speaker 10: now we're continuing to see mainly dry weather, partial sunshine.
Speaker 10: Depending on where you are today, still might be a shower,
Speaker 10: especially for the Triangle east. Sixty degree temperatures. Some will
Speaker 10: stay in the fifties probably Triad West and into the
Speaker 10: mountains and then a cooler night tonight as well, drop
Speaker 10: down to the mid upper thirties, and then as we
Speaker 10: get in through Tuesday Wednesday, we're quickly back up into
Speaker 10: the seventies, so quickly warming up. It's that time of
Speaker 10: year we get these fronts of command, we cool off briefly,
Speaker 10: and then we're back to the seventies and above average
Speaker 10: for the rest of the week. Next shower chance Thursday,
Speaker 10: but sudd'll be back Friday with previously mentioned cooler temperatures
Speaker 10: thirties in the morning, low sixties in the afternoon. But
Speaker 10: really the best days of the week are going to
Speaker 10: be Tomorrow and Wednesday with low seventies and maybe some
Speaker 10: mid seventies. And Friday is going to be okay too
Speaker 10: with the sun coming back, but it will cool off
Speaker 10: some more seasonable conditions as will be probably near sixty
Speaker 10: degrees on either side of that, depending on where you
Speaker 10: are average by this time of year. I think it's
Speaker 10: around sixty degrees. It is pretty close to it, so
Speaker 10: when the seventies come back tomorrow will be well above normal.
Speaker 10: And yeah, and sixty three is the average. I was
Speaker 10: trying to find it, but my computer wasn't working.
Speaker 1: I just say that's all we want to hear. Man. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because we went at really good weather.
Speaker 2: So that because starting you know, this week, we all
Speaker 2: are going to sit inside and not do anything for
Speaker 2: several weeks. So right, yeah, here and watch basketball. That
Speaker 2: bit sectomies is yeah thing that too. Yeah, you know
Speaker 2: you can get them every year.
Speaker 1: I guess that's oh who knew? Yeah, well hey man,
Speaker 1: times off times the only friend I knew that had one.
Speaker 10: It didn't work, so so well then, yeah, they had
Speaker 10: a surprise.
Speaker 1: Well you gotta.
Speaker 2: I think we're guys gonna where I've heard a couple
Speaker 2: of stories. It's because they when they get home, they
Speaker 2: didn't after the surgery.
Speaker 1: You still gotta wait empty the magazine. Yeah yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: you gotta.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I literally know adude that that happened too, So gotcha.
Speaker 1: It's like whoops, Yeah, I just they didn't tell you that.
Speaker 9: All right.
Speaker 2: Anyway, all right, science, thank you appreciate thanks for that cut. Yeah,
Speaker 2: hey man, we just we're here to make people's lives better,
Speaker 2: all right. Seven forty nine Hang on one six.
Speaker 7: Point one Sam Talk and ninety four five w PTI
Speaker 7: to the station's driving the best in talk. This is
Speaker 7: the Casey O Show.
Speaker 2: Oh man, alright, seven fifty five coming up. We're gonn
Speaker 2: We're gonna have a little adult to economics discussion.
Speaker 1: Although I'll ask very juvenile questions, but I just it's
Speaker 1: so what I do is like people.
Speaker 2: You know, we got all these different people that we
Speaker 2: work with for many many many years. We have real
Speaker 2: estate agents. Yeah, you know, we clients that we work with,
Speaker 2: but they also kind of I picked their brain if
Speaker 2: I need info, so you know, real estate agents, whatever
Speaker 2: it is, and so I then I gather the information
Speaker 2: and I use it so that I sound smart on
Speaker 2: the radio, but then I have.
Speaker 1: To retell it. It's a whole thing.
Speaker 2: So work smarter, not harder. We'll just we'll just chat
Speaker 2: with one of our financial guys. I just have a
Speaker 2: few questions and then the questions I get from people,
Speaker 2: but I don't know how to answer them. So we'll
Speaker 2: chat with Doug Ray coming up here at eight o
Speaker 2: five for a few minutes. Oh man, uh oh, got
Speaker 2: so much audio. Let me let me just get through.
Speaker 2: I was talking about the hoo they strikes, and then
Speaker 2: we got into that whole I ran story because it's
Speaker 2: it's it's hilarious.
Speaker 1: They were not screwing around.
Speaker 2: So you had Marco Rubio in the room truck, the
Speaker 2: National Security Advisor, and Trump's just sitting there on the turn,
Speaker 2: as they say in the world of golf, blowing up
Speaker 2: parts of Yemen, and Rubio's he's here for all.
Speaker 11: The problem here is that this is a very important
Speaker 11: shipping lane and in the last year and a half,
Speaker 11: last eighteen months to who thies have struck or attacked
Speaker 11: one hundred and seventy four naval vessels of the United States,
Speaker 11: attacking the US Navy directly one hundred and seventy four times,
Speaker 11: and one hundred and forty five times they've attacked commercial shipping.
Speaker 1: So we basically now.
Speaker 2: By the way, I like how you're saying the number
Speaker 2: of times they've attacked and not the number of times
Speaker 2: they've struck, because it's.
Speaker 1: They're not very good at it. Just FYI, but it
Speaker 1: doesn't matter.
Speaker 2: Don't shoot at American naval vessels or American flagged or
Speaker 2: supported ships.
Speaker 11: You have a band of pirates, you know, with guided
Speaker 11: precision anti ship weaponry and of adacting a toll system,
Speaker 11: and one of the most important shipping lanes in the world.
Speaker 11: That's just not sustainable. We are not going to have
Speaker 11: these people controlling which ships can go through and which
Speaker 11: ones cannot. And so your question is how long will
Speaker 11: this go on? It will go on until they no
Speaker 11: longer have the capability to do that.
Speaker 1: I will tell you this though.
Speaker 2: You know, one of the things over the weekend is
Speaker 2: obviously the weekend shows and their analysis of all the news,
Speaker 2: and you know the doom and gloom that comes under
Speaker 2: the Trump administration. And people are confused, right, not that
Speaker 2: they necessarily trust the media, but when you have everyone
Speaker 2: wailing going, ah is a constitutional crisis. He's going to
Speaker 2: destroy the economy. People get nervous because now you're talking
Speaker 2: about their money, their security, you know, what they've saved
Speaker 2: for retirement, or just you know, the money they bring
Speaker 2: in for their families, which were a driving concern in
Speaker 2: the last election, which is likely why Kamala Harris didn't
Speaker 2: stand a chance, right, because people didn't believe what was
Speaker 2: going on. But now we get some tariff stuff out there.
Speaker 2: Trump's trying to ruin the economy. He won't rule out
Speaker 2: in a recession, which apparently we're now doing recessions again
Speaker 2: under the standard definition.
Speaker 1: And I don't me and I'm like, I don't know, magic,
Speaker 1: I don't Why are egg prices down? Why is inflation down?
Speaker 2: Why did Rosky gas at two seventy two and at
Speaker 2: the sheets in wake Forest this morning? Causing him to
Speaker 2: be excited? Why is that happening when we're being told
Speaker 2: everything's on fire?
Speaker 1: And uh?
Speaker 2: So, what I do is then I reach out to,
Speaker 2: you know, various people we work with in the financial world,
Speaker 2: and then I use their answers to sound smarter. Well,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna cut out the middleman, and so I just
Speaker 2: asked Doug Ray, who's uh and just full disposure.
Speaker 1: Doug's been a client of mine.
Speaker 2: For over a decade in the triad, so there is that,
Speaker 2: but he's also the guy that I've gotten to know
Speaker 2: and over the years. So if I ask THEMB financial questions,
Speaker 2: he answers them. So I'm just going to bring him
Speaker 2: on right now and let him answer it so I
Speaker 2: don't have to repeat it to you. Doug, how are
Speaker 2: you doing this morning?
Speaker 3: I'm doing thirdcase? I hope you are.
Speaker 1: I am, but I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 2: And I'm sure in your line of work, people are
Speaker 2: sitting there and they're watching, you know, MSNBC panels say
Speaker 2: that the end is nigh, the dollar is going to
Speaker 2: be done, and uh, we're all gonna be living in huts.
Speaker 2: And then people's experience economically is now different, right because
Speaker 2: egg prices are down and inflation is dipping and gas it.
Speaker 1: Is too early to tell. But what is the what's
Speaker 1: the truth here?
Speaker 3: Man?
Speaker 2: Because I'm sure, like everything else, it lies in between.
Speaker 2: What do you tell people when they're calling there like
Speaker 2: I don't know what to think, Please help me? And uh,
Speaker 2: how does that conversation go? How do you analyze this?
Speaker 2: Having decades in this business, Well.
Speaker 3: I'll tell you what it's been. Uh been a will
Speaker 3: since I've been on with you, and a lot that's
Speaker 3: happened since then. Every Friday I sent out a email
Speaker 3: newsletter to our clients, so it's called from Doug's desk,
Speaker 3: And this past friday, I'll give you the cliff notes
Speaker 3: because I think it answered your question pretty pretty well.
Speaker 3: You know, markets hate uncertainty, and boy do we have
Speaker 3: a boatload of uncertainty right now. The tariffs are just
Speaker 3: a part of it. I mean, you've got the war
Speaker 3: with Ukraine and Russia, You've got the situation growing with Iran.
Speaker 3: We've got China to deal with. So what's going on
Speaker 3: is this the markets are adjusting to the Trump economy,
Speaker 3: and yes they're down, and I think they're going to
Speaker 3: be volatile for probably the better part of this year.
Speaker 3: But once the markets understand what's going on, I think
Speaker 3: we're set up for a very good economy and a
Speaker 3: stock market going forward. You know, we've got another thing
Speaker 3: that's pushing us as a pill within our millennial generation
Speaker 3: starts a fifteen year cycle of spending because they're getting married,
Speaker 3: buying houses, having children, so they're going to spend the
Speaker 3: most ever spend in their life over the next fifteen years.
Speaker 3: That's going to do to the markets what US boomers
Speaker 3: did to those eighties and nineties market. Now here's another
Speaker 3: thing that I've observed and a lot of people, if
Speaker 3: you if you look at the talking heads on TV,
Speaker 3: they they said this too. This situation where the Trump
Speaker 3: administration coming in is very similar to when Reagan came
Speaker 3: into office. Now, Casey, I know you're too young to
Speaker 3: even remember that, but I remember it vividly.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, we had they got they got the
Speaker 1: Internet with videos and stuff.
Speaker 3: So yeah, yeah, you know when Reagan came into office,
Speaker 3: we had high inflation, We had a stagnan economy. You know,
Speaker 3: we worn't our military was not wealth equipped, right, and
Speaker 3: you know, they had to raise interest rates. Paul bulk
Speaker 3: or the said chief, raised interest rates to nearly twenty
Speaker 3: percent to get rid of inflation. And you know, we
Speaker 3: had a tough two year period in Reagan's first term,
Speaker 3: and honestlly, his popularity wasn't that good after that first
Speaker 3: two years. But once inflation came down and some of
Speaker 3: his policies on growth and deregulation kicked in, then we
Speaker 3: had a great economy market for nearly two decades.
Speaker 2: So why are you already seen and I'm sorry, I
Speaker 2: just want to pick on this point. So Trump hasn't
Speaker 2: been there for two years. Why are you seeing a
Speaker 2: downward trend. I've seen people who theorize it's just because
Speaker 2: Biden was spraying the market with three hundred and fifty
Speaker 2: billion at the end of his term. To Ya, Kamala
Speaker 2: liked it. And now the spending has stops. So you're
Speaker 2: getting that transition because it makes people think that the
Speaker 2: Wall Street, I know, your shock is totally disconnected from
Speaker 2: the economic realities out there.
Speaker 1: And it like drives that point home in people's minds,
Speaker 1: and it makes them not trust the stock market as much.
Speaker 3: Well, you know, Trump hasn't been in office for two years,
Speaker 3: but Trump's policies are being put in place at warp speed,
Speaker 3: much faster than Ray can put his policies in place. Now,
Speaker 3: with regards to the stock market, you know, people can
Speaker 3: be a little nervous right now because we've had a
Speaker 3: ten percent correction. You know, they haven't seen anything like
Speaker 3: that since the market bottom in October of twenty two.
Speaker 3: But the problem with the S and P five hundred,
Speaker 3: that whole dual market period from October of twenty two
Speaker 3: till now was driven basically off of a handful of stocks,
Speaker 3: AI related stock and VIDI super micro anything.
Speaker 1: That did anything.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah absolutely. And you know the thing
Speaker 3: that that's not a healthy market by any stretch. I mean,
Speaker 3: I've seen that movie before that was called the dot
Speaker 3: Com Bust. Now, I'm not saying our market's going to
Speaker 3: go down as much as it did in the dot
Speaker 3: com Bust, but you know it's got to get to
Speaker 3: an equilibriate. The market needs to do that to be
Speaker 3: a healthy market.
Speaker 1: Does that make sense noe, and it does.
Speaker 2: And here's and here's the thing, because you and I
Speaker 2: have known each other for years and I and so
Speaker 2: i've you know, I've talked to you about this stuff.
Speaker 2: And I also recognize that if you got long enough,
Speaker 2: you know, I got a long time for I retire,
Speaker 2: I'm I'm you know, feasibly, unless I guess somebody comes
Speaker 2: in and fires me after the show. But so like,
Speaker 2: if stuff goes sideways for me, I got twenty years
Speaker 2: of scrolling with this probably yet so uh that's fine.
Speaker 2: So but the people are sitting there and you and
Speaker 2: I have talked about this, if you're if you thought
Speaker 2: you're going to retire about the time Trump's uh term
Speaker 2: is over, right, that's what's going on. Like, those are
Speaker 2: the people who are getting nervous watch this stuff because
Speaker 2: they don't have time necessarily to get their money back.
Speaker 2: So they're like, maybe I should put it in uh
Speaker 2: you know, uh howk to a girl coin?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: People are making bad decisions or rash decisions, And if
Speaker 2: there's going to be a tumultuous time, like do you
Speaker 2: re tell your clients you know, maybe you shouldn't be
Speaker 2: screwing around with this, right, now I don't know what
Speaker 2: those answers look like, but that's generally what people want
Speaker 2: to know because in the short term you can't necessarily
Speaker 2: make stuff back.
Speaker 3: Well, you're right. The one of one of our big
Speaker 3: sayings is this, in retirement, losses made more than games
Speaker 3: because you can't you don't have time to earn it back.
Speaker 3: And you know, if I think about it, we have
Speaker 3: a bear market, which is technically defined as a twenty
Speaker 3: percent loss about on average once every seven years. And
Speaker 3: if you retire at the beginning of a bear market,
Speaker 3: I could have a dramatic devastating effect on how well
Speaker 3: you're retied. It goes. On the other hand, if you retire, uh,
Speaker 3: just before a bull market, right, and your retirement may
Speaker 3: be wonderful, even better than your thought. So you know,
Speaker 3: planning for retirement is so important. And of course that's
Speaker 3: exactly what we do with our clients, is we plan
Speaker 3: for these kinds of situations. You know, we build their
Speaker 3: retirement plan around a time like this so that they'll
Speaker 3: survive if we do go down thirty like in eight.
Speaker 12: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I just people, just people, just I understand why people
Speaker 2: are nervous and uh, and have a lot of questions.
Speaker 2: And I think that the media or Trump's opponents use
Speaker 2: that to try, like everything else, to try to separate
Speaker 2: people and uh and and scare them. And I think
Speaker 2: all the people want is accurate information and then they
Speaker 2: don't get it.
Speaker 1: And one of the things that you.
Speaker 2: Do, Doug, and I just want to give you kudos
Speaker 2: for this, uh, because you don't just sit there in
Speaker 2: your Gordon get Co office figuring out hostile takeovers or
Speaker 2: whatever you guys do. I don't know, I'm not a
Speaker 2: financial advisor, but but you do like workshops and stuff.
Speaker 2: Have you seen an uptick with people walking into those
Speaker 2: works by the way, just shameless plug, but you you
Speaker 2: have a couple coming up. What are the dates on
Speaker 2: those because you do these all throughout the year.
Speaker 3: Yeah, Actually, we have one that's coming Thursday night. It's
Speaker 3: taxes in retirement.
Speaker 9: Right.
Speaker 3: This is an important workshop casey because a lot of
Speaker 3: people think and it logically you would assume so that
Speaker 3: when you retire, your taxes you're going to go down.
Speaker 3: That's what makes the case.
Speaker 2: Remember, they're flowing this whole and I don't know how,
Speaker 2: I don't know how I feel about this that nobody
Speaker 2: under one hundred and fifty thousand in income would have taxes,
Speaker 2: which I don't know. I don't like everyone not having
Speaker 2: skin in the game. I don't know how I feel about.
Speaker 1: It, but you're right. And so when people when you
Speaker 1: have these workshops, are you seeing more people come in?
Speaker 9: Go?
Speaker 1: What the hell is going on? I mean, what is
Speaker 1: what is the flavor of these? Because it's Tuesday and
Speaker 1: what are Thursday? And then you have another one Tuesday,
Speaker 1: just if.
Speaker 3: People want to say at six thirty and then the
Speaker 3: following two today the twenty fifth, at six point thirty.
Speaker 3: If you want to register for the workshop, all you'd
Speaker 3: have to do is either call uh win at our
Speaker 3: office three three six three nine one three four oh none,
Speaker 3: or you could just simply go on our website at
Speaker 3: bwelk guardians dot com, hit up the event tab and
Speaker 3: you can register right there.
Speaker 1: Uh But my question just to because this is not
Speaker 1: a paid interview.
Speaker 2: But even though I'm doing it, I'm doing this because
Speaker 2: I don't want to be I don't know how to
Speaker 2: answer people. Have you seen people coming into these workshops
Speaker 2: and like the vibe has changed? Are they are they
Speaker 2: more nervous right now?
Speaker 1: Like? What's it doing to the psyche of people real quick.
Speaker 3: Oh gosh, yeah, they're coming in. They've got tons of questions,
Speaker 3: great questions, and uh we love that interaction, the back
Speaker 3: and forth interaction that people have. And yes, they're absolutely
Speaker 3: concerned right now, no question about it.
Speaker 2: Well, all right, he's getting like a high kai cup
Speaker 2: tea and a little soldier massage and then they feel bad,
Speaker 2: Like I understand why people are nervous, a nine hundred
Speaker 2: point dip on one day screaming about how you know
Speaker 2: the world's gonna end, and then the next day everyone's
Speaker 2: happy again.
Speaker 1: Like it's really confusing out there.
Speaker 2: All right, Doug, I appreciate anything you want to add
Speaker 2: real quick just before we get out of here. Anything
Speaker 2: I'm missing anything people should be paying attention to the
Speaker 2: and and should they buy hawk to a girl?
Speaker 1: Mean coins? Probably not? Huh right, probably not.
Speaker 3: Stay stay stay optimist, to keep your eye on the future.
Speaker 3: I think we've got a bright future ahead of us.
Speaker 2: All right, Doug, I appreciated this morning. Good and now
Speaker 2: I don't have to repeat your answers. Maybe get some
Speaker 2: of the stuff wrongh The Wealth Guardians is the website
Speaker 2: once again?
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk soon. I appreciate it, my friend.
Speaker 3: All right, take care.
Speaker 1: All right, there you go.
Speaker 2: So yeah, like I understand why people are confused. And
Speaker 2: again it comes down a lot of it comes down
Speaker 2: to what kind of information are you getting what's going
Speaker 2: on out there?
Speaker 1: And it's super mixed message.
Speaker 2: And the whole part about the disconnect with the stock
Speaker 2: Mart Like, it's the disconnect we saw in the last
Speaker 2: election where you know, the Biden administration was running around
Speaker 2: going now the economies, Oh, it's gangbusters, and people went,
Speaker 2: I can't afford food and stuff, And so I think
Speaker 2: people just want to crave that the thing they see
Speaker 2: on the ground is also the opinion of people who
Speaker 2: are supposed to be the learned experts, and there's this
Speaker 2: huge disconnect on this stuff. And then people make decisions
Speaker 2: like I'm going to take all my money and put
Speaker 2: it on red. What's the worst that could happen? Or
Speaker 2: they buy ross buys.
Speaker 1: What was that Star Wars?
Speaker 2: Was the Star Trek collectible or Star Wars collectible you
Speaker 2: were all gussied up over last week?
Speaker 1: Well, what oh that was that was Star Trek?
Speaker 9: It was.

Speaker 1: Action Figure.
Speaker 4: That what's gonna work you make fun of that's going
Speaker 4: to keep me like provide to me for at least
Speaker 4: in the my eighties.
Speaker 1: Really that's you and the family. That's for you. You
Speaker 1: did that for them. You're too good for me? Now
Speaker 1: does it? Can it? Does it then separate into two
Speaker 1: different characters? Is that too soon?
Speaker 4: I mean it should?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, making sure and then you gotta get
Speaker 2: a Jane Way doll to come in and make it so.
Speaker 1: Oh man, I blew the Jane Wave doll up. That's
Speaker 1: right out of the right out of your luck. Yeah, yeah, that's.

Speaker 1: That's the one thing's fine, the other thing's not fine.
Speaker 1: It just goes back to my point.
Speaker 2: Like you see the weather thing with the drunk lepreca
Speaker 2: top of the morning, but he can't be bothered to
Speaker 2: stand because he's hammered. Now it's a weather graphic. You
Speaker 2: don't see that. See that in other holidays. See go

Speaker 1: do that.
Speaker 2: Well anyway, Yeah, for most people, it's just an excuse
Speaker 2: to uh, probably go and not This is like the

Speaker 5: Tight you know for tomorrow morning. Here's a trick. You'll
Speaker 5: be hungover. Colin second, I like an Irish lady vat.
Speaker 4: Cane will do.
Speaker 5: You might be a lady, but I still hit on you.
Speaker 12: You might turn me down, but either way, Lassie hop
Speaker 12: baside contacts day.
Speaker 1: But there you go.
Speaker 2: I just want to get you in the spirit, get
Speaker 2: you in the mood this morning, because some people are
Speaker 2: not feeling it, like this lunatic on this American Airlines
Speaker 2: flight from Savannah, Georgia to Miami. Oh man, all right, sock,
Speaker 2: So imagine you're sitting on a flight. You get ready
Speaker 2: to uh, you know, you're excited. It's pretty short flight
Speaker 2: Savannah to Miami.
Speaker 1: What's that? Maybe? What an hour? Ainy' much?
Speaker 2: You're headed down to Miami, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 2: the person in the seat next to you starts.
Speaker 1: Gyrating and praying, which isn't that unusual. I've seen people.
Speaker 2: You've been on a plane ever where you hit some
Speaker 2: turbulence and all of a sudden, it's sign of the
Speaker 2: cross going on over there.
Speaker 1: That's fine.
Speaker 2: However, people want to deal with it, but they're doing
Speaker 2: more than just praying. They're like, it's also kind of
Speaker 2: doing the speaking and tongues thing or another language under
Speaker 2: their breath, and they're rocking in their seat, and you're like,
Speaker 2: I don't know what the hell's going on?
Speaker 1: Right.
Speaker 2: Well, some dude, his name is Medina Augustine, was on
Speaker 2: this American Airlines flight. The passenger next to him notices
Speaker 2: what's going on, and I guess they hit the call
Speaker 2: button because they're like, I don't know what they thought
Speaker 2: that he was having, like an epileptic seizure. And then
Speaker 2: all of a sudden, as they're waiting for the flight
Speaker 2: attendant to come up, dude, opens his eyes and starts
Speaker 2: and says he's praying because Satan's disciples have followed him
Speaker 2: onto the plane. I don't know if he works with
Speaker 2: that Texas chick or whatever, but you know that sucks
Speaker 2: and not everyone can.
Speaker 1: See him, and that's that.
Speaker 2: What can you imagine Roster being stocked by the disciples
Speaker 2: of Satan and now you're in a metal tube unable
Speaker 2: to escape. That must be terrifying even though nobody else
Speaker 2: can see him. So he does what you do when
Speaker 2: actual demons have followed you onto the plane in Savannah. Uh,
Speaker 2: he pulls a rosary out and swallows it. So because
Speaker 2: I guess they can't they can't get you.
Speaker 1: Is that how that works.
Speaker 2: I've watched a lot of like, you know, Catholicism inspired
Speaker 2: you know, exorcists or possession kind.
Speaker 1: Of movies, and there's lots of stuff the according to
Speaker 1: the movies, you can do. But I've never seen swallowing
Speaker 1: a crucifix.
Speaker 2: But maybe right because ross what happens if you're possessed
Speaker 2: and they put a crucifix to your forehead?
Speaker 1: You know the rules, right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, burns, you burn, right, So if you get it
Speaker 2: in there before the demon gets in there, I guess
Speaker 2: I don't.
Speaker 1: I don't know. So they're like.
Speaker 2: What, And so the flight attendant comes over and they're like, yeah,
Speaker 2: this is gonna be a problem, bro, we need to
Speaker 2: This is just before takeoff. By the way, we're gonna
Speaker 2: probably get you off the plane here because we wouldn't
Speaker 2: want Satan's disciples harming you.
Speaker 1: And also, you just swallowed a full size crucifix. That's
Speaker 1: not not good.
Speaker 2: Which, by the way, how do you think that's gonna
Speaker 2: feel coming out? Considering the all the corners on that
Speaker 2: not fun? So, so what does the dude who swallowed
Speaker 2: the crucifix do? He grabs the arm rest he still
Speaker 2: see it takes the armrest, you know how like a
Speaker 2: gymnast on a Poma horse does that thing where they
Speaker 2: grabbed for the men, they grabbed that not a Poma horse,
Speaker 2: but the thing the men have where they like lift
Speaker 2: their body up and kind of spin around with their
Speaker 2: legs out straw strong they are, does that spins around
Speaker 2: in the seat and from that position, Sparta kicks the
Speaker 2: flight attendant right in the chest and then also punched
Speaker 2: another flight attendant and started punching and kicking the seats
Speaker 2: and then hit a passenger.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 2: The dude, by the way, I was flying to Miami,
Speaker 2: but that was not his final destination. He was flying
Speaker 2: to Port of Prince with his sister.
Speaker 1: He was going to.
Speaker 2: Haiti, so I he said he was going to Haiti
Speaker 2: to flee religious attacks of a spiritual nature.
Speaker 1: In the US. Here's here's the deal, Ross, you get
Speaker 1: to pick you live in the US.
Speaker 2: Uh, but you're under constant uh threat by the legions
Speaker 2: of Satan.
Speaker 1: Or you have to live in porta Prince.
Speaker 4: Well, I mean some would say we are constantly under
Speaker 4: the threat of demons, right right?
Speaker 1: No, no, no, I'm not just I'm not going by
Speaker 1: the way. I'm not disparaging that.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, let's let's assume that he's not
Speaker 2: being followed by undercover demons that nobody.
Speaker 4: Else, no shadow people. It's just okay, yeah, I'm not
Speaker 4: going for Haiti. I'm choosing not Haiti.
Speaker 2: Okay, because you know it's I I'm sure that the
Speaker 2: shadow people are bad.
Speaker 1: The other dude's name is Barbecue. Do you know why
Speaker 1: that is? It's not because he likes no, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: it's not as I heard.
Speaker 4: He is mustard based.
Speaker 1: Can you believe that. Well, I mean, what would you
Speaker 1: expect from Lord?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 2: Yeah, but I think the nickname may have come from
Speaker 2: something something else. I spent eight years in Catholic school,
Speaker 2: and yeah, no, no, no, I did the whole Catechism thing.
Speaker 1: I was raised Catholic. They never went over the swallowing
Speaker 1: of the Rosary, right, no, none of that.
Speaker 2: Now, if he got the crucifix off and it's just beads,
Speaker 2: then maybe it won't be so bad and you might
Speaker 2: even enjoy it. But I don't think that's gonna work out.
Speaker 2: So I'm assuming they probably tried to tay. They took
Speaker 2: him to the hospital to do a mental evil. I'm shocked,
Speaker 2: but yeah, so there you go. And of course he
Speaker 2: didn't delayed everybody's flags going to Miami. Although this is
Speaker 2: not the time to go to Miami during spring break.
Speaker 2: I made the mistake of flying through their spring break
Speaker 2: and like everyone's out of their damn minds.
Speaker 4: Man, did you go there for one of the older
Speaker 4: Riley segments where they put you on the beach and
Speaker 4: they're like, can you believe it?
Speaker 2: Where you're supposed to send Jesse Waters there so they
Speaker 2: could do a ten minute segment of just gyrating right,
Speaker 2: and they're like.
Speaker 1: Oh, this is can you believe what's going on? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Ah, the humanity out it. And then let's show more
Speaker 2: girls at a wet T shirt contest. These could be
Speaker 2: your daughters. Let us zoom in so you can see
Speaker 2: if it's your daughter. Yeah, that was so shameless, man.
Speaker 1: But I bet his ratings were banging though.
Speaker 2: I bet you're sitting in that ratings meeting like we
Speaker 2: do on Tuesday, they're like, all right, how we do
Speaker 2: last week? And they're like, you're not gonna believe this.
Speaker 2: It was off the charts sheer insanity, man, And sorry, but.
Speaker 1: I know that's what they had. That's when they had
Speaker 1: the big fight in the d Concourse there.
Speaker 2: Because I fly, I tend to fly American and I've
Speaker 2: never encountered a Rosary Swallen spartakick, dude, but I have
Speaker 2: been there right after they had the melee in the
Speaker 2: D Concourse under the American Airlines Lounge, which if you
Speaker 2: know where the one is in like D thirty there
Speaker 2: it kind of is over and that's where they have
Speaker 2: the Irish pub.
Speaker 1: There and that Cuban restaurant.
Speaker 2: It's very popular part and they have the whole rotunda
Speaker 2: there is rocky chairs, and I guess a bunch of
Speaker 2: people for spring break. This is when they were leaving,
Speaker 2: got to the airport and there weren't enough rocking chairs.
Speaker 2: So instead of playing, you know, the musical chairs, like,
Speaker 2: let's play fight everybody for rocking chairs, and they did,
Speaker 2: and it was a whole thing that was on the
Speaker 2: news there. So the best to be avoided during certain times.
Speaker 1: Of the year.
Speaker 2: So not really surprised because it is the crazy time
Speaker 2: right now. Raced Agic from the Weather Channel. He's hopefully here.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, all right.
Speaker 2: So some lunatics on an American Airlines flight to Miami
Speaker 2: from Georgia and starts telling the person next to him
Speaker 2: for takeoff that the legions of Satan have followed him
Speaker 2: onto the plane. So he pulls a rose around and
Speaker 2: swallows it, which I'm sure is gonna feel real good
Speaker 2: coming out, and then Sparta kicks flight attendant and then
Speaker 2: punches another one in a passenger.
Speaker 3: So wow.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Well, it depends on how coats with the peasants
Speaker 2: man right here, yeah, never know, Yeah.
Speaker 10: That's exciting. It depends on how big the cross is though,
Speaker 10: I mean, that's.
Speaker 1: What I'm saying it doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. It's
Speaker 1: it's still got a lot of sharp edges.
Speaker 5: It does.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well you get it. You're gonna think you're possessed
Speaker 1: and you're sitting on the toilet there.
Speaker 2: All right, good, it is a good freak out on
Speaker 2: an airplane and Sparta kick flight attendant's weather.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Sure.
Speaker 10: Step in the eastern New England where it's still raining.
Speaker 10: But we had our share. Some of the higher totals
Speaker 10: were from about let's say, High Point. What's it sound,
Speaker 10: greensword the triad in points east. I got a four
Speaker 10: inch total here with some of the thunderstorms yesterday where
Speaker 10: Willow Spring just south.
Speaker 1: You should not word it city. What's that anyway? Go ahead? Thanks, well,
Speaker 1: come on, don't tell us about your four inch total.
Speaker 10: Go ahead, Yes, four inches and two and a half.
Speaker 10: A little further south through Fayetteville, there were some severe
Speaker 10: storms yesterday, no tornadoes reported, but some wind damage and
Speaker 10: through Guildford County, So that's kind of the wind and
Speaker 10: precip story. Temperature wise, it's in the thirties now to
Speaker 10: the west, and still seeing some fifties in and around
Speaker 10: the triangle. So the coolest stairs still hasn't quite gotten
Speaker 10: to everybody, but it will and we'll have some pretty
Speaker 10: decent weather now from this point forward. Most of the showers,
Speaker 10: if not all of them, are now well east and
Speaker 10: out off the coast, and improving weather, with most of
Speaker 10: them getting into sunshine today from west to east. If
Speaker 10: you're not there partial sun anyway, might get back to
Speaker 10: sixty tonight, clear and low to mid thirties. So tomorrow
Speaker 10: morning it's going to be chillier, and then we'll get
Speaker 10: back near seventy degrees Tomorrow, well into the seventies. Wednesday,
Speaker 10: mostly sunny both of those days before showers come back Thursday.
Speaker 10: Then the sun comes back Friday with more seasonable temperatures
Speaker 10: right around sixty degrees. A pretty good week on all
Speaker 10: just that shower chance Thursday. I don't think any severe
Speaker 10: weather this week.
Speaker 2: See, by the way, if you're the South Carolina State player,
Speaker 2: you have to transfer now right which one?
Speaker 1: Oh, so you guess we had with South So South.
Speaker 2: Carolina State was playing North Fook State for a bid
Speaker 2: whether the auto bids for their right and all right,
Speaker 2: we'll just listen to this.
Speaker 1: Well right at the end of the game six, All right,
Speaker 1: so what happens is the South Carolina State player.
Speaker 2: He steals the ball, goes back and ties it at
Speaker 2: sixty five, so inbound Norfolk State, and this idiot chases
Speaker 2: him down and intentionally fouls the guy because he didn't
Speaker 2: he didn't see.
Speaker 1: What the score was.
Speaker 2: You didn't know what the score was, so he fouled
Speaker 2: him thinking they were down so that they could and
Speaker 2: so Norfolk State just had to make, you know, either
Speaker 2: of those free throws and that was the end of
Speaker 2: the game. So South Carolina State lost their bid. Oh
Speaker 2: but yeah, you got to move at that point, I
Speaker 2: think so. Yeah, all right, yeah, we'll.

Speaker 1: going on today, sir? All right?

Speaker 13: as expected. The government reports overall sales ticked up two
Speaker 13: tenths percent. Sales for the control group were up one percent,
Speaker 13: a little more than predicted. The control group excludes food services,
Speaker 13: auto dealers, building materials, and gas stations.
Speaker 1: Stock market futures are mixed now.
Speaker 13: S and P futures are up two points, and the
Speaker 13: Nasdaq futures are up forty three Now future is still
Speaker 13: lower by seventy two points, but that is an improvement
Speaker 13: in just the last half hour. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessant
Speaker 13: was interviewed over the weekend.
Speaker 1: Investors didn't really like what he had to say.
Speaker 13: Bessant was on NBC's Meet the Press. He said the
Speaker 13: recent downturn in the stock market does not worry him.
Speaker 13: He said corrections are healthy normal. Federal Reserve policymakers meet
Speaker 13: tomorrow and Wednesday to discuss the economy and interest rates.
Speaker 13: Economists think it's a safe bed. Infrastrates will be left
Speaker 13: unchanged this time around a Walmart squaring off against Big Pharma,
Speaker 13: the giant retailer issuing many of the nation's biggest pharmaceutical companies,
Speaker 13: accusing them of inflating the prices of hundreds of generic drugs.
Speaker 13: Walmart says it's been forced to pay more than it
Speaker 13: should have for the medications. The operator of the fashion
Speaker 13: retailer Forever twenty one, has filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy.
Speaker 13: The company says it will wind down its operations, but

Speaker 13: to its iPhone line up. Our Mark German reports the
Speaker 13: iconic smartphone will be made slimmer, making use of fresh
Speaker 13: components and new design standards. Aside from being thinner, the
Speaker 13: phone won't look all that different from the front, but
Speaker 13: the inner workings will be upgraded. A lot of work
Speaker 13: had to be be done to make the battery thinner
Speaker 13: and the phone more efficient, so battery life would not
Speaker 13: be compromised.
Speaker 2: Casey, okay, soin I just took the update. I don't
Speaker 2: know if you have an iPhone, Cheff. Do you have
Speaker 2: an iPhone?
Speaker 3: I do? Yes?
Speaker 1: Did you take the most recent update?
Speaker 3: Yes?
Speaker 13: One day last week.
Speaker 2: Dude, I woke up this morning butt my phone had
Speaker 2: not been plugged in. It was like an eighty percent.
Speaker 2: It was down to like forty five percent.
Speaker 1: So I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know that update. I just did it yesterday
Speaker 2: and all of a sudden my batteries just haked.
Speaker 1: So something like that and turned on. Yeah yeah, plug
Speaker 1: that thing in. All right, Jeff, appreciate it. Have a
Speaker 1: good one there.
Speaker 2: You do the same, Take care, pep all right, And
Speaker 2: I have just to be I have an iPhone thirteen
Speaker 2: still because I don't Unlike some.
Speaker 1: People, I don't care because they just told.
Speaker 2: Did they just tell me I'm available for an upgrader,
Speaker 2: So I just don't care if my phone works. I'm fine,
Speaker 2: Like had a I had a three forever, then I
Speaker 2: had a seven forever, and then I had a thirteen.
Speaker 2: So that's how and Ross Ross had a bag phone
Speaker 2: for twelve years I don't know, or whatever. You had,
Speaker 2: like a really old iPhone you only like upgraded what
Speaker 2: like two years ago or something.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I just paid mine off in they're trying to
Speaker 4: get me to buy a new one. I'm like, yeah,
Speaker 4: I'm good.
Speaker 1: Now that works. Yeah, look at that.
Speaker 2: Although the battery thing is that seems by design. Hey,
Speaker 2: real quick, we're just talking about the cost of stuff.
Speaker 2: A woman arrested. An Alabama woman was arrested over the
Speaker 2: weekend for selling her baby. All right, Ross, what do
Speaker 2: you think the current price for a baby is in methas?
Speaker 2: Stand there, it's got to be a few thousand, fifty
Speaker 2: bucks you're correct, fifty bucks and and a gift card
Speaker 2: for clothes at an off brand a clothing store, so
Speaker 2: like it's a resell store, like a Plato's Closet kind
Speaker 2: of thing. And that was also fifty dollars, So fifty
Speaker 2: dollars cash and fifty dollars at one of those Reselle
Speaker 2: clothing store gifts or tips.
Speaker 4: So at this point they just take the baby away, right, yeah,
Speaker 4: they yeah, at.
Speaker 1: That point they do. She apparently drove to Arkansas to
Speaker 1: sell the baby.
Speaker 2: And now look, you know right now, if you got
Speaker 2: to buy babies at the dip and then you resell them,
Speaker 2: you know once they go up.
Speaker 1: But how do you know what the dip is?
Speaker 2: I would argue fifty dollars for a baby and then
Speaker 2: with plus a gift card probably might be the dip
Speaker 2: because you can flip rush. You ever flipped the baby.
Speaker 2: It's I mean, there's a lot of money to be
Speaker 2: made there flipping babies. I'm going to start one of
Speaker 2: those those schools that are really Ponzi schemes on flipping
Speaker 2: babies for cash and profit.
Speaker 1: So nobody's really filled that niche.
Speaker 4: If you're at home, please don't flip your baby what.
Speaker 2: No, No, not physically flip the baby, but you know,
Speaker 2: like like the house flippers thing, you want to do
Speaker 2: it that way, you're just flipping babies.
Speaker 1: So yeah, they got winto that. I guess the sister
Speaker 1: was like, she does.
Speaker 2: She came back, she doesn't never baby, but she's got
Speaker 2: new blouse, so might want to look into that, And
Speaker 2: they did, and she sold it to a couple in
Speaker 2: Arkansas who really wanted a baby, but I guess really
Speaker 2: didn't have a lot of money.
Speaker 1: So there you go.
