WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:04.919 Mentally, I can tune out and then on Sunday around 2 00:00:06.200 --> 00:00:11.640 I don't know three ish mentally tune back on. Look, 3 00:00:11.679 --> 00:00:18.800 what we do is not a physical thing, right, It's 4 00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:25.079 not roofing, it's not welding, it's not hanging dry wall. 5 00:00:25.480 --> 00:00:29.519 It's not things that I have done in the past 6 00:00:30.679 --> 00:00:33.560 and things that many of you are literally on your 7 00:00:33.560 --> 00:00:37.640 way to do today. But you have to believe me 8 00:00:37.719 --> 00:00:38.799 when I tell you. 9 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:42.399 When there are. 10 00:00:42.359 --> 00:00:47.640 Weeks because of the mental side of it where I 11 00:00:47.679 --> 00:00:53.719 feel like I am like it's it's bail and weak 12 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:57.079 right back on the ranch where we're having to literally 13 00:00:57.679 --> 00:01:01.679 do our round bails, do our a pounders, do our 14 00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:06.280 standard toss bails, and it literally was the worst week 15 00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:09.359 of the year. And I have to tell you mentally, 16 00:01:10.200 --> 00:01:13.640 that's where I feel that I am right now. You 17 00:01:13.680 --> 00:01:16.879 can probably hear it in my voice, but that's its 18 00:01:16.920 --> 00:01:22.719 own thing. I mean, like my brain yesterday evening as 19 00:01:22.840 --> 00:01:27.799 I am laying down in bed at like seven thirty, 20 00:01:28.439 --> 00:01:31.920 felt like it was one of those weeks where I 21 00:01:32.000 --> 00:01:35.439 used to do fill in for Schnitch Show and there, 22 00:01:35.480 --> 00:01:37.319 you know, and I tried to just do a couple 23 00:01:37.439 --> 00:01:41.200 fill ins during the week, but sometimes it it required 24 00:01:41.239 --> 00:01:44.599 three or four and if it's a busy news cycle, 25 00:01:45.159 --> 00:01:51.959 that's how it was. I feel so physically mentally exhausted, 26 00:01:52.359 --> 00:01:59.519 which then you know is the physical exhaustion. And it's 27 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:02.799 hard to explain to people because they're like, you talk, man, 28 00:02:02.920 --> 00:02:05.079 You just you go on the radio and you talk, 29 00:02:06.079 --> 00:02:09.039 and you know, even if they give you credit for 30 00:02:09.120 --> 00:02:13.560 the prep, it's it's not comparable to busting your ass 31 00:02:13.599 --> 00:02:16.120 ten days poor, you know, ten hours a day poor 32 00:02:16.120 --> 00:02:21.120 in concrete. And I agree from the physical side, but 33 00:02:21.919 --> 00:02:27.360 it's a mental job to do this job, and I 34 00:02:27.479 --> 00:02:31.719 feel absolutely beat up. Ross I have to sound like it. 35 00:02:31.960 --> 00:02:34.800 I know you as well, and you've got a hundred 36 00:02:34.879 --> 00:02:39.400 things going on, not just from a job perspective, but 37 00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:44.919 also with like some home stuff you're doing. I if 38 00:02:44.919 --> 00:02:48.360 something happens this weekend, I'm gonna lose my crap. 39 00:02:51.199 --> 00:02:52.520 I'm just putting everybody on. 40 00:02:52.680 --> 00:02:54.439 I was, you know, I was saying, I'm just looking 41 00:02:54.479 --> 00:02:58.280 forward to a nice, stress news free weekend that I 42 00:02:58.280 --> 00:02:59.039 would be amazing. 43 00:02:59.479 --> 00:03:07.159 I I I woke up this morning and like I'm unable. 44 00:03:06.639 --> 00:03:09.520 To and it'll fire up here in a little. 45 00:03:09.240 --> 00:03:12.319 Bit, because sometimes it's just having to do it, like 46 00:03:12.879 --> 00:03:15.039 I woke up this morning and I'm like, what is 47 00:03:15.080 --> 00:03:15.719 wrong with me? 48 00:03:16.000 --> 00:03:19.879 I know, I'm not sick. I just have hit my 49 00:03:20.120 --> 00:03:21.560 mental edge with this. 50 00:03:22.919 --> 00:03:26.240 And even though I, you know, I try to wind down, 51 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:32.759 I intentionally didn't turn on any news. I I watched 52 00:03:32.960 --> 00:03:39.439 like weird documentary stuff that was as non controversial as 53 00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:42.520 you can get, just to mentally unplug. 54 00:03:42.879 --> 00:03:43.120 Now. 55 00:03:43.360 --> 00:03:47.520 Granted, there were a few things on the Twitter that 56 00:03:47.680 --> 00:03:52.520 I saw. We're gonna place some of the audio. 57 00:03:52.199 --> 00:03:52.560 For you. 58 00:03:54.080 --> 00:03:57.840 And I had, you know, and then you start to 59 00:03:57.919 --> 00:04:06.919 formulate thoughts and ways you're gonna to handle it. The 60 00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.479 the acquisition of Twitter every day by Elon Musk becomes 61 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:19.160 more important and you'll you'll you'll see what I mean. 62 00:04:19.959 --> 00:04:25.399 And every single time I see something that I know 63 00:04:26.439 --> 00:04:31.199 would have fallen by the wayside, been been pulled right, 64 00:04:32.040 --> 00:04:36.600 been uh uh, shadow buried, shadow bands not the right word, 65 00:04:36.639 --> 00:04:39.000 but shadow buried where you wouldn't. 66 00:04:38.680 --> 00:04:39.160 Have seen it. 67 00:04:39.199 --> 00:04:44.920 That now permeates the you know, the the trending portion 68 00:04:45.480 --> 00:04:47.879 like these are all positive things and they get my 69 00:04:48.000 --> 00:04:52.759 brain going. But having to watch the like you know, 70 00:04:53.399 --> 00:04:57.519 yesterday we played the audio of the borders are right 71 00:04:57.560 --> 00:05:00.560 where you had the same reporters you you had the 72 00:05:00.639 --> 00:05:05.720 same outlets, you had the same shows with you know 73 00:05:06.160 --> 00:05:10.519 before and after who said, oh, she's borders are and 74 00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:14.199 then literally in the last few days said she was 75 00:05:14.279 --> 00:05:19.279 never borders are right, that'll hurt your brain. And then 76 00:05:19.720 --> 00:05:26.279 yesterday there was a note card, right, just a one 77 00:05:26.360 --> 00:05:31.279 sheeter with bullet points on it that was posted right, 78 00:05:31.360 --> 00:05:37.160 that was literally provided to Democrat politicians and apparently the 79 00:05:37.240 --> 00:05:39.360 media because. 80 00:05:39.160 --> 00:05:43.319 Immediately you saw the. 81 00:05:42.600 --> 00:05:46.000 Talking points thing, a memo, whatever you want to call it, 82 00:05:47.399 --> 00:05:48.240 put into action. 83 00:05:48.439 --> 00:05:48.680 Man. 84 00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:54.000 And as much as you're trying to mentally unplug from this, 85 00:05:54.439 --> 00:05:59.759 it's absolutely infuriating, like have you know. 86 00:06:01.720 --> 00:06:04.399 And it's not a new thing. 87 00:06:04.600 --> 00:06:08.720 It's the it's the difference is this stuff ends up 88 00:06:08.800 --> 00:06:14.319 now featured on social media, at the very least on Twitter. 89 00:06:15.360 --> 00:06:17.439 And it's such a. 90 00:06:17.519 --> 00:06:24.360 Good thing because people who would dip in previously may 91 00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:27.759 not see it. They would see stuff and it wouldn't 92 00:06:27.800 --> 00:06:33.079 have community notes attached and and and they would feel 93 00:06:33.160 --> 00:06:37.959 researched on this stuff. And now it appears with community 94 00:06:38.000 --> 00:06:41.680 notes and the video showing this appear. And you're not 95 00:06:41.759 --> 00:06:45.120 going to change the mind of the hardcorees right who 96 00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:51.959 actively accept this stuff, But maybe the person who normally 97 00:06:52.160 --> 00:06:55.519 is you know, here for the sports or or here 98 00:06:55.560 --> 00:06:58.360 for what the Kardashians are up to. 99 00:06:59.560 --> 00:07:01.920 Maybe they'll see that stuff. 100 00:07:01.759 --> 00:07:05.959 And maybe the media will have to adjust the way 101 00:07:06.000 --> 00:07:10.879 that they do things. And then it gets my brain chugging. Yesterday, 102 00:07:11.399 --> 00:07:13.879 as I'm sitting there, like I'm gonna get eight hours 103 00:07:13.879 --> 00:07:18.399 and nine hours of sleep, I'm ecstatic, And yet I 104 00:07:18.480 --> 00:07:23.000 wake up feeling that I as I'm laying As I'm 105 00:07:23.079 --> 00:07:25.319 laying there last night trying to go to sleep and 106 00:07:25.360 --> 00:07:27.959 not pay attention to it, It's all I can think about. 107 00:07:28.959 --> 00:07:31.800 Like, how did it get so bad? How did it 108 00:07:31.879 --> 00:07:33.160 get so brazen? 109 00:07:34.639 --> 00:07:35.519 You have to. 110 00:07:37.160 --> 00:07:41.199 You have to read the thing or watch the video. 111 00:07:41.240 --> 00:07:43.920 We'll tweet it out. I tweeted it again. We'll retweet 112 00:07:43.959 --> 00:07:48.360 it so you can see it. And it's as brazen 113 00:07:48.600 --> 00:07:50.680 as you ever suspected it was. 114 00:07:51.879 --> 00:07:56.319 And I sit there and I go. 115 00:07:57.839 --> 00:08:03.720 With them, getting community notes and more people realizing like 116 00:08:04.480 --> 00:08:10.040 the the literal lies and hoaxes, right, it's anecdotal, and 117 00:08:10.079 --> 00:08:13.800 I see more of that stuff. Is a change on 118 00:08:13.879 --> 00:08:18.920 the horizon, And I thought it was, but I don't know. Man, 119 00:08:19.079 --> 00:08:22.360 we have a very short period. By the way, this 120 00:08:22.560 --> 00:08:24.519 right here, so you don't have to read the card? 121 00:08:25.199 --> 00:08:27.000 Is the media reading the car? 122 00:08:27.160 --> 00:08:30.720 She was never actually borders are borders are, which was 123 00:08:30.800 --> 00:08:33.000 not something that was formally conveyed upon her. 124 00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.080 She's been labeled incorrectly by some members of the right 125 00:08:36.120 --> 00:08:40.320 as this is bullet point by bullet point, and this 126 00:08:40.399 --> 00:08:41.879 is an MSNBC. 127 00:08:42.159 --> 00:08:45.960 Just MSNBC and CNN. It's like ABC News, CBS News. 128 00:08:46.039 --> 00:08:47.279 You know, like in the video on the left you 129 00:08:47.320 --> 00:08:50.679 can see the cards. The yeah, it's right there, and 130 00:08:50.720 --> 00:08:53.039 the rights. The news anchors just read, you know, you 131 00:08:53.080 --> 00:08:55.360 get the reading enough the prompter like they're like they're 132 00:08:55.360 --> 00:08:58.120 old the radio terms for us inside baseball, it's like 133 00:08:58.159 --> 00:08:59.720 you're an old top forty jock and you're reading the 134 00:08:59.720 --> 00:09:00.399 liner cards. 135 00:09:00.600 --> 00:09:03.240 Yeah, yeah, we better you better read them. You better 136 00:09:03.240 --> 00:09:06.879 read them, right, the liner cards back in the day. Man, 137 00:09:06.919 --> 00:09:09.240 Your program directors like, why aren't you reading the liner cards? 138 00:09:10.559 --> 00:09:14.679 The difference was those are like contests and and and 139 00:09:14.919 --> 00:09:17.840 like things that you would never deny that you're trying 140 00:09:17.879 --> 00:09:25.519 to read. This is shaping uh in in almost verbatim terms, 141 00:09:26.159 --> 00:09:28.759 how they're presenting the story. 142 00:09:28.799 --> 00:09:29.679 It's jarring. 143 00:09:29.799 --> 00:09:33.200 Man. I think the reason that you're so tired, I 144 00:09:33.200 --> 00:09:35.200 think other people are feeling the same way is you're 145 00:09:35.279 --> 00:09:40.960 just inundated and over encumbered by this propaganda that is soulless. 146 00:09:41.600 --> 00:09:44.639 And we've had a really crazy few weeks where we 147 00:09:44.720 --> 00:09:48.240 went from an assassin assassination attempt on a former president 148 00:09:48.600 --> 00:09:52.120 to now making Kamala Harris like the second coming of 149 00:09:52.240 --> 00:09:53.440 Jesus or something like. 150 00:09:56.320 --> 00:09:56.960 Going on man. 151 00:09:57.039 --> 00:09:59.440 And I mean, there's so much of this, but you 152 00:09:59.440 --> 00:10:01.600 can see you we were talking about how Elon Musk 153 00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:03.519 bought Twitter and now you can sort of call this 154 00:10:03.639 --> 00:10:06.600 garbage out, whereas before you'd get even banned for mentioning 155 00:10:06.639 --> 00:10:09.799 that it might be fake. Compare what you're seeing on 156 00:10:09.919 --> 00:10:14.279 threads versus what you're seeing on X and it is 157 00:10:14.440 --> 00:10:18.320 night and day. And an example of this Mark Cuban 158 00:10:18.399 --> 00:10:21.039 even did you see the poll he put out He 159 00:10:21.120 --> 00:10:24.879 said which campaign has the has which which campaign is 160 00:10:24.919 --> 00:10:28.600 the low energy campaign? And he put the same poll 161 00:10:28.679 --> 00:10:32.519 up on threads in Twitter and saw two completely different answers. 162 00:10:32.159 --> 00:10:35.080 On X it was like, Kamala is the low energy 163 00:10:35.799 --> 00:10:38.799 by far it was like seventy two to something and 164 00:10:38.840 --> 00:10:42.240 then seventy two percent, and then on threads it was, 165 00:10:42.279 --> 00:10:44.360 you know, Trump is the low energy And he was 166 00:10:44.360 --> 00:10:46.399 like how come there's such a major difference here, And 167 00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:48.039 it's like, well, it's a lot of it is, and 168 00:10:48.080 --> 00:10:49.799 a lot of people that are on threads though right 169 00:10:50.080 --> 00:10:53.399 around these different versions of social media. They are like 170 00:10:53.519 --> 00:11:00.399 the political soft refugees that when Elon Musk bought they 171 00:11:00.480 --> 00:11:04.519 left because they couldn't stand another voice in. They couldn't stand. 172 00:11:04.200 --> 00:11:06.960 Being out of their echo chamber, right right, But you're 173 00:11:06.960 --> 00:11:10.320 not going to convert them. I'm not talking about you. 174 00:11:10.639 --> 00:11:13.399 I'm oh, yeah, one hundred percent. I'm talking about the 175 00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:17.759 people who normally don't dip in except in a very 176 00:11:17.759 --> 00:11:22.159 small window, and that's going to be the experiment this time. 177 00:11:22.519 --> 00:11:24.799 The people still have a Twitter account but use it 178 00:11:24.840 --> 00:11:29.279 mostly for sports, right yeah, you know, or yeah, a 179 00:11:29.279 --> 00:11:33.360 little bit of pop culture whatever. Inevitably, there is a 180 00:11:33.399 --> 00:11:38.000 better chance that they're going to see the borders are 181 00:11:38.120 --> 00:11:42.440 stuff with a community note, or perhaps with a suggestion 182 00:11:42.720 --> 00:11:46.159 that hey, here's a video of them literally reading a 183 00:11:46.200 --> 00:11:52.039 liner card and you you didn't run that risk because 184 00:11:52.080 --> 00:11:56.759 of the willingness to bury that stuff one election cycle ago. 185 00:11:57.279 --> 00:12:01.919 So that's the thing that keeps me hopeful, but that 186 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:05.799 they'll stumble upon this and go, why the hell does 187 00:12:05.960 --> 00:12:08.159 why the hell are they reading this thing from the 188 00:12:08.159 --> 00:12:08.720 White House? 189 00:12:08.720 --> 00:12:10.519 Borders are Republicans named her? 190 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:13.480 The borders are Republicans have always exaggerated what her job 191 00:12:13.600 --> 00:12:14.240 was at the border. 192 00:12:14.320 --> 00:12:17.039 Republicans again have labeled where the borders are. 193 00:12:17.200 --> 00:12:20.399 That's not exactly what President Biden asked her to do. 194 00:12:20.559 --> 00:12:22.200 She was never put in charge of the border. 195 00:12:22.240 --> 00:12:24.879 That wasn't actually her task, not to secure it, but 196 00:12:24.919 --> 00:12:28.480 to address the underlying roots of migration. She was charged 197 00:12:28.480 --> 00:12:31.679 with leading the administration's efforts to address the root causes 198 00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:32.759 of migration. 199 00:12:32.519 --> 00:12:35.120 The root causes of migration to the US. 200 00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:38.720 The root causes, root causes, Root causes are root causes, 201 00:12:38.799 --> 00:12:40.120 root causes of immigration. 202 00:12:40.279 --> 00:12:42.679 We also want to point out that right now, apprehension 203 00:12:42.759 --> 00:12:46.120 numbers continue to decrease in our country, especially over the 204 00:12:46.240 --> 00:12:47.360 last few months. 205 00:12:47.399 --> 00:12:49.559 And I just want to know that border crossings have 206 00:12:49.679 --> 00:12:50.600 been going. 207 00:12:50.320 --> 00:12:53.320 Down and illegal border crossings are lower right now. 208 00:12:53.519 --> 00:12:55.440 Migrant crossings continue to drop. 209 00:12:55.480 --> 00:12:57.000 Border crossings are way down. 210 00:12:57.080 --> 00:12:58.720 Border crossings are down. 211 00:12:59.159 --> 00:13:03.600 Okay, And I want you to watch the video and 212 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:08.399 because it has the card next to it, and you 213 00:13:08.440 --> 00:13:11.039 know what, share it, do whatever you gotta do, and 214 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:17.039 who knows, maybe now with the ability of community notes 215 00:13:17.080 --> 00:13:22.120 to attach. Right, those are visible. Those are usually very 216 00:13:22.320 --> 00:13:27.320 you know, within the first line, very understandable, and maybe 217 00:13:27.559 --> 00:13:30.840 maybe it shapes the way the media does stuff, but 218 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:36.039 for now it is, it is how they've always done it, 219 00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:41.559 coupled with a much higher propensity for people to see 220 00:13:41.600 --> 00:13:42.559 that they're full of crap. 221 00:13:42.720 --> 00:13:45.039 This isn't. I think this is another reason you're feeling 222 00:13:45.080 --> 00:13:46.759 the way you're feeling because and I mentioned this a 223 00:13:46.759 --> 00:13:49.480 few days ago, for about a span of two weeks, 224 00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:52.039 we can have two weeks, we got a glimpse of 225 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.440 what it would be like if the press was fair 226 00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:57.480 and balanced because they were going out after the Democrats 227 00:13:57.519 --> 00:14:00.480 for once, and we felt amazing about that this side 228 00:14:00.480 --> 00:14:02.879 because we were not used to that. We're so used 229 00:14:02.919 --> 00:14:05.360 to being attacked the way that Biden was being attacked, right, 230 00:14:05.679 --> 00:14:08.080 and we're like, this feels good, this feels different, this 231 00:14:08.159 --> 00:14:10.600 feels fair. And as soon as they kicked the old 232 00:14:10.639 --> 00:14:13.480 man out, as soon as they used that pressure, they 233 00:14:13.519 --> 00:14:15.960 went back, not only did they turn on a turn 234 00:14:16.000 --> 00:14:18.320 on a dime, but now it's like a full full 235 00:14:18.879 --> 00:14:21.799 court press with this propaganda. 236 00:14:21.919 --> 00:14:22.039 Right. 237 00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:25.080 This it's not because you have a very short window. 238 00:14:24.879 --> 00:14:29.200 And out, yeah, right, exactly, So now you have this 239 00:14:29.279 --> 00:14:31.039 feeling that was amazing, like, oh my god, this is 240 00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:33.240 gonna be fair. We've never felt this before to going 241 00:14:33.360 --> 00:14:35.759 back to the way it was, and it feels and 242 00:14:36.080 --> 00:14:36.919 it feels like crap. 243 00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:40.080 I I don't I don't know what it is. I 244 00:14:40.120 --> 00:14:41.519 am so mentally burned out. 245 00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:43.120 I think that's what it is. And like I said, 246 00:14:43.120 --> 00:14:45.200 there's just so much of this propaganda and you can 247 00:14:45.240 --> 00:14:46.759 see it and it's it's just gross. Man. 248 00:14:47.360 --> 00:14:50.759 Yeah, I well, look we'll we'll bang through it. I'm 249 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:53.919 gonna look, I'm gonna I'm gonna lean on you today. Okay, 250 00:14:54.080 --> 00:14:56.799 you can you can hear where I'm at. Eight eight 251 00:14:56.840 --> 00:14:59.320 eight nine three four seven eight seven four. 252 00:15:00.120 --> 00:15:02.600 Do you think that it is? 253 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:07.799 Do you think that it's right to be hopeful that 254 00:15:09.200 --> 00:15:12.120 more there is a higher probability that people who are 255 00:15:12.120 --> 00:15:16.159 not real political people, but you know, probably vote will 256 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:21.639 we'll stumble upon at the very least something that will 257 00:15:21.720 --> 00:15:23.360 raise questions in their mind. 258 00:15:23.559 --> 00:15:26.240 I think we're in a lot better position than we're feeling. 259 00:15:26.279 --> 00:15:27.879 And I think the only reason we're feeling the way 260 00:15:27.879 --> 00:15:30.320 we're feeling right now is because that allude that the 261 00:15:30.480 --> 00:15:33.200 two weeks that fairness was taken away really quickly, and 262 00:15:33.200 --> 00:15:34.840 now we're back to where we are and we know 263 00:15:34.879 --> 00:15:38.679 what the we've seen in the past decade or so, 264 00:15:38.919 --> 00:15:41.320 right where we get when the when the media does 265 00:15:41.360 --> 00:15:43.279 this and we're used to feeling a certain way, Now 266 00:15:43.279 --> 00:15:46.919 we're back to that. I don't know. 267 00:15:47.000 --> 00:15:49.799 I sat there and I think you're right. I hope 268 00:15:49.840 --> 00:15:54.960 that you're right. An assassination attempt by a miracle from God, 269 00:15:55.879 --> 00:15:57.759 or or he didn't or he didn't get hit by 270 00:15:57.799 --> 00:16:01.039 a bullet. As you'll I'm to find out is the 271 00:16:01.120 --> 00:16:05.200 reporting by newsweek. And and by the way, as I'm 272 00:16:05.279 --> 00:16:07.399 laying there, as I'm sitting there last night for three 273 00:16:07.440 --> 00:16:11.360 four five hours, not able to fall asleep, these are 274 00:16:11.399 --> 00:16:14.039 all the things that I'm processing, and I feel like 275 00:16:14.159 --> 00:16:15.919 that's going to be a big thing. I'll explain in 276 00:16:15.960 --> 00:16:19.559 a moment. Hang on, I am, I am so, I 277 00:16:19.600 --> 00:16:28.720 am so like mentally stretched after this week, last week, everything. 278 00:16:28.879 --> 00:16:36.039 So if if things are a little slower today, if 279 00:16:36.480 --> 00:16:39.960 I deviate off of the red meat news you want 280 00:16:39.960 --> 00:16:42.879 to hear it is just to keep my sanity. I 281 00:16:42.919 --> 00:16:45.919 got some I got some chicken wing news that we're 282 00:16:45.919 --> 00:16:48.200 going to get into. Don't worry, we'll do the stories 283 00:16:48.240 --> 00:16:56.120 of the day, and we'll touch on the on the 284 00:16:56.559 --> 00:16:59.639 you know, the way that the media is continuing to 285 00:16:59.799 --> 00:17:03.200 do things the way that they have done them in 286 00:17:03.240 --> 00:17:06.920 the past. Yet I'm seeing cracks in the facade, and 287 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:07.880 that's going to be a theme. 288 00:17:09.039 --> 00:17:10.440 And I. 289 00:17:11.920 --> 00:17:15.559 Lay awake last night three four five. I don't even 290 00:17:15.599 --> 00:17:21.079 know what time I fell asleep. And that's you know, 291 00:17:21.119 --> 00:17:24.240 that's something I do on the regular when I'm putting 292 00:17:24.279 --> 00:17:27.200 prep together. After I send it off to Ross, generally 293 00:17:28.000 --> 00:17:30.720 my brain is still like, all right, I sent the 294 00:17:30.759 --> 00:17:34.079 stories over, here's how we're going to do it. And 295 00:17:34.240 --> 00:17:40.240 it's just everything's just been so insane. So even though 296 00:17:40.279 --> 00:17:44.200 what we do is not physical, you're you're getting a 297 00:17:44.319 --> 00:17:51.960 glimpse into the mental pounding that putting a show together takes. 298 00:17:52.680 --> 00:17:55.799 I would challenge anyone to sit down and do stream 299 00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:58.240 of consciousness for three hours. 300 00:17:59.480 --> 00:18:02.519 It's it's not easy. 301 00:18:02.680 --> 00:18:04.960 I saw something this morning that might give you some hope. 302 00:18:05.599 --> 00:18:07.680 It's not all. Here's the thing. It's not that I 303 00:18:07.720 --> 00:18:08.720 don't have hope. 304 00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:15.200 It's that I literally, I I literally can't sit and 305 00:18:15.200 --> 00:18:18.319 and and try to and and and the weekend. 306 00:18:18.480 --> 00:18:19.720 The weekend will cure this. 307 00:18:19.799 --> 00:18:23.920 Even if something happens I can't sit and try to 308 00:18:24.200 --> 00:18:28.319 think out all of the reasons and the players and 309 00:18:28.319 --> 00:18:34.119 and the motivations because everybody is being so scummy. 310 00:18:33.680 --> 00:18:35.559 Right yeah, no, I mean there's the reason that like 311 00:18:35.640 --> 00:18:38.279 world chess champions will tend to go absolutely insane, right 312 00:18:38.319 --> 00:18:40.200 because like your brain can only take so much before 313 00:18:40.240 --> 00:18:40.839 it melts down. 314 00:18:41.079 --> 00:18:45.480 Well wait, let's not go there, not quite yet. Like 315 00:18:45.480 --> 00:18:47.440 I'm not I'm not going on a shooting spree or anything. 316 00:18:47.440 --> 00:18:49.640 But I'm sorry, what were you saying you saw something? 317 00:18:49.680 --> 00:18:51.880 Yeah, so Dane Cook? Did you see the Dane Cook news? 318 00:18:53.480 --> 00:18:56.359 I haven't thought about Dane Cooking forever. Please fill me in. 319 00:18:56.559 --> 00:18:58.599 Dane Cook, I guess has been hanging out. He's still 320 00:18:58.640 --> 00:19:01.119 doing his Dane Cook thing, not nearly as you know, 321 00:19:01.440 --> 00:19:03.119 popular as he used to be, or is you know, Hi, 322 00:19:03.240 --> 00:19:04.359 remember when Dan Cook was like. 323 00:19:04.319 --> 00:19:06.559 Oh he had a moment for sure, yea, Like. 324 00:19:06.640 --> 00:19:09.039 He was selling out like Madison Square Garden and stuff. 325 00:19:09.519 --> 00:19:12.000 So he went on TikTok. And he is not a 326 00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:15.400 political person at all in public, Like he is not 327 00:19:16.279 --> 00:19:16.559 one of. 328 00:19:16.559 --> 00:19:18.759 The h Admittedly I don't even know how he. 329 00:19:18.680 --> 00:19:21.640 Feels, right, and that's purposefully done. But he went on 330 00:19:21.720 --> 00:19:24.079 and he put up a poll in his TikTok and 331 00:19:24.119 --> 00:19:27.119 he just said he wasn't going to attack people. It 332 00:19:27.200 --> 00:19:29.400 wasn't to debate. He just wants to know where people's 333 00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:32.079 heads are at in this country after the past few weeks, 334 00:19:32.319 --> 00:19:34.400 because he was feeling a little tired and a little 335 00:19:34.440 --> 00:19:37.079 weirded out as well, and he's wanted to, you know, 336 00:19:37.079 --> 00:19:39.279 know where people were at. The reason that you really 337 00:19:39.279 --> 00:19:41.200 want to pay more attention to his poll than say, 338 00:19:41.240 --> 00:19:44.720 other people's polls is because, like I said, he's not political, 339 00:19:45.200 --> 00:19:49.440 and his algorithm isn't isn't skewed like other people. For instance, 340 00:19:49.440 --> 00:19:52.000 if kat Turd puts out a pole, it's going to 341 00:19:52.000 --> 00:19:54.279 be skewed one way because his algorithm is one way. 342 00:19:54.359 --> 00:19:56.480 Or if Mark Cuban or even if he saw one of. 343 00:19:56.400 --> 00:19:58.920 The Krastin idiots had a poll this morning and I 344 00:19:59.039 --> 00:19:59.880 just I'm. 345 00:19:59.720 --> 00:20:02.960 Just yeah, or the right or the cras and steeds, 346 00:20:02.960 --> 00:20:05.640 so their stuff is going to be leading significantly in 347 00:20:05.680 --> 00:20:07.400 one way or the other because of who they are. 348 00:20:07.440 --> 00:20:10.319 But also it's because of the people that you bring in, 349 00:20:10.400 --> 00:20:12.559 like what you see on your timeline, depending if you're 350 00:20:12.599 --> 00:20:16.480 on threads or you're on even Facebook or or x 351 00:20:16.640 --> 00:20:20.720 right or TikTok. The content you're going to see and 352 00:20:20.759 --> 00:20:22.359 the people that are going to be drawn to you 353 00:20:22.720 --> 00:20:24.519 are drawn to you because of an algorithm. So if 354 00:20:24.519 --> 00:20:26.720 you're super political, those people are going to see you 355 00:20:26.759 --> 00:20:28.759 and probably follow you, and then it skews even worse 356 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:31.480 in one direction, where he is not that way. So 357 00:20:31.519 --> 00:20:35.000 it's really a good clean slate, right because he has 358 00:20:36.359 --> 00:20:39.480 he's not political at all, so the people just people aren't. 359 00:20:40.720 --> 00:20:42.880 So he puts out a poll and when you read 360 00:20:42.920 --> 00:20:46.559 the comments there and when you see the results of 361 00:20:46.559 --> 00:20:50.000 the poll knowing that it's it's not skewed in one 362 00:20:50.000 --> 00:20:53.640 way in this algorithm free in that respect, it's really 363 00:20:54.039 --> 00:20:59.240 eye opening. The Trump Trump won his poll. It's the thing. 364 00:20:59.319 --> 00:21:02.240 It's still going on by like over ninety percent. And 365 00:21:02.279 --> 00:21:06.200 when you read the comments, it's all people expressing sort 366 00:21:06.200 --> 00:21:09.079 of what you're expressing and just being like they can't 367 00:21:09.079 --> 00:21:11.880 take any more of the left. Like when you read 368 00:21:11.920 --> 00:21:13.759 the comments, you would think that he was a cat 369 00:21:13.799 --> 00:21:16.920 turd or somebody like that, or somebody you know, like 370 00:21:16.680 --> 00:21:18.960 a like a right wing influencer, and he is not. 371 00:21:19.079 --> 00:21:22.720 It's just people expressing their theirselves in the comments knowing 372 00:21:22.759 --> 00:21:24.200 that they're not going to be attacked, and he's not 373 00:21:24.200 --> 00:21:25.799 going to try to debate them or put them in 374 00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:28.480 the spotlight and try to shame them. It's just him 375 00:21:28.519 --> 00:21:31.000 having a conversation, like you tell me how you feel 376 00:21:31.599 --> 00:21:33.200 right in the comments, I'm gonna read it. I'm not 377 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:36.400 gonna debate you. So you have people freely expressing themselves 378 00:21:36.400 --> 00:21:38.400 in the comments, and what they're expressing is that they're 379 00:21:38.440 --> 00:21:40.720 over it, They're over Kamala, and they're not believing any 380 00:21:40.720 --> 00:21:41.359 of the hype. 381 00:21:41.599 --> 00:21:46.640 Well, you know, and we didn't see a situation where 382 00:21:46.680 --> 00:21:49.440 somebody saw the poll and then tried to jacket right right. 383 00:21:49.440 --> 00:21:50.880 As far as I know, it hasn't been flipped in 384 00:21:50.920 --> 00:21:52.640 any ways. It's the first time I've seen it today. 385 00:21:52.880 --> 00:21:55.799 Well good, oh wait, hold on, Austin pauls him an email. 386 00:21:56.720 --> 00:21:59.759 I can just imagine a suck it. I'm trying, dude. 387 00:22:00.640 --> 00:22:03.400 And and by the way, I'm not telling you this too, 388 00:22:03.640 --> 00:22:07.720 so you feel bad. I'm I'm telling you because I 389 00:22:07.759 --> 00:22:14.200 don't like giving you a show that's not maximum effort. Okay, 390 00:22:15.319 --> 00:22:17.880 that's it. My voice makes it sound worse than it is. 391 00:22:18.079 --> 00:22:20.160 It's just my voice has burned out from the end 392 00:22:20.200 --> 00:22:25.119 of the week. So it it but I like sitting 393 00:22:25.160 --> 00:22:28.920 there and being able to process and talk out where 394 00:22:28.920 --> 00:22:32.480 I'm going to go was near impossible yesterday and it's 395 00:22:32.599 --> 00:22:33.680 I'm almost. 396 00:22:33.440 --> 00:22:34.920 Never dealt with that. 397 00:22:36.240 --> 00:22:39.720 So I am, I'm I'm being honest with you, And 398 00:22:40.279 --> 00:22:42.640 like I said, we got chicken wing news, so my 399 00:22:42.720 --> 00:22:43.839 whole mood may turn around. 400 00:22:43.880 --> 00:22:46.000 In fact, you want to know the chicken wing news. Ross, 401 00:22:46.000 --> 00:22:50.440 do you know the chicken wing news? I do, yes, Okay, you. 402 00:22:50.480 --> 00:22:55.559 Probably have chicken wing keyword emails, so that's a little unfair. 403 00:22:56.839 --> 00:23:02.079 This could go to the Supreme Court. Can boneless wings 404 00:23:02.240 --> 00:23:07.160 include bones? I know this sounds like a stupid topic, 405 00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:11.880 but the Ohio the Ohio Supreme Court just weighed in 406 00:23:11.920 --> 00:23:20.160 on this yesterday and they have fundamentally redefined what I 407 00:23:20.160 --> 00:23:24.079 guess the term boneless means. And because of the fact 408 00:23:24.119 --> 00:23:27.000 that they're split, and because of the fact that in 409 00:23:27.039 --> 00:23:32.079 another region of the country there is literally a similar 410 00:23:32.200 --> 00:23:36.400 lawsuit going if that lawsuit comes out at that I 411 00:23:36.400 --> 00:23:39.359 don't know what Ohio is Ohio seventh District, I can't remember, 412 00:23:39.839 --> 00:23:42.079 but you know, let's say that and the other ones 413 00:23:42.119 --> 00:23:45.480 in California. So if California and Ohio have split decisions, 414 00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.559 feasibly the Supreme Court could take up whether boneless wings 415 00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:55.160 need to legally be free of bones. 416 00:23:56.000 --> 00:23:57.039 And it's not just that. 417 00:23:57.119 --> 00:24:05.839 If you read the decision, which is rather amusing, they 418 00:24:05.960 --> 00:24:11.160 point out that diners who know they're eating chicken should 419 00:24:11.240 --> 00:24:14.279 know that there's a possibility of bones, and then they 420 00:24:14.319 --> 00:24:19.960 get into why nuggets are not a thing. Let's see here, 421 00:24:20.759 --> 00:24:24.039 boneless wings, according to the Ohio Supreme Court, refers to 422 00:24:24.079 --> 00:24:29.079 a cooking style and consumers have a duty to be 423 00:24:29.119 --> 00:24:32.880 on guard against bones. Basically, a dude was eating boneless wings, 424 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.359 he swallowed a low piece of bone, got an infection, 425 00:24:37.640 --> 00:24:43.000 got seriously injured and sick because he, in typical dude fashion, 426 00:24:43.160 --> 00:24:45.079 is like, now, just drink some water, it'll be fine. 427 00:24:45.880 --> 00:24:49.079 By the time he went to the hospital, it required surgery. 428 00:24:49.440 --> 00:24:54.279 So he filed the lawsuit. According to the decision, just 429 00:24:54.319 --> 00:24:57.960 as a person eating chicken fingers would know that chickens 430 00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:00.440 don't have fingers. 431 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.559 I have a fun I have a fun story. I'll 432 00:25:04.599 --> 00:25:07.720 try to do on on this on the. 433 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:10.799 Chicken fingers thing, because I met a I met somebody 434 00:25:10.839 --> 00:25:11.480 who thought that. 435 00:25:13.000 --> 00:25:16.440 Chicken had fingers, and she was a grown adult. 436 00:25:18.160 --> 00:25:18.559 She's not. 437 00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:20.799 She's not listening. So I'll tell you she's not the. 438 00:25:20.759 --> 00:25:22.960 Sharpest tool in the shed, somebody I grew up with 439 00:25:24.359 --> 00:25:27.480 and she ended up getting a nickname over it. But 440 00:25:27.720 --> 00:25:32.759 just as chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, and chicken fingers are 441 00:25:32.799 --> 00:25:36.119 not actually a part of the chicken that is identifiable 442 00:25:36.160 --> 00:25:41.880 from an anatomical standpoint, the word boneless falls within that, 443 00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:47.160 and you eat boneless wings at your own caution. And 444 00:25:47.400 --> 00:25:52.119 the fact that the Supreme Court, who literally has provided 445 00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:57.680 some of the most important decisions over the last few 446 00:25:57.759 --> 00:25:59.799 years that many of us will likely see in our 447 00:25:59.799 --> 00:26:07.200 life lifetime. I love the idea of Roberts and the 448 00:26:07.240 --> 00:26:12.039 wise Latina and Gorsicch and all of them sitting down 449 00:26:12.119 --> 00:26:16.480 to adjudicate whether boneless wings and frankly, this is part 450 00:26:16.519 --> 00:26:20.079 of a larger labeling of food. And when you look 451 00:26:20.119 --> 00:26:23.400 at it from that perspective, there's a ton of crap that. 452 00:26:23.319 --> 00:26:29.319 We eat that are not actual literal names. 453 00:26:30.240 --> 00:26:35.039 And I apparently we're at a point where half the justices, 454 00:26:35.200 --> 00:26:37.640 or I guess just less than one of half the 455 00:26:37.880 --> 00:26:42.640 justices on the Ohio Supreme Court think that anything that 456 00:26:42.759 --> 00:26:48.599 is labeled and is not anatomically correct requires changing of 457 00:26:48.640 --> 00:26:55.680 the names it would be very impactful. Let's see here, 458 00:26:55.720 --> 00:26:58.359 does anyone really believe that parents in this country feed 459 00:26:58.400 --> 00:27:01.200 their kids boneless wings or chicken? Oh, of course you're 460 00:27:01.240 --> 00:27:04.000 going to reload the page right now. Don't even try 461 00:27:04.039 --> 00:27:07.279 me today Fox News This is on Fox news is 462 00:27:07.440 --> 00:27:11.359 or Fox Businesses website. Yes, just as parents in this country, 463 00:27:11.359 --> 00:27:15.640 if either children boneless chicken wings or chicken tenders or nuggets, 464 00:27:16.519 --> 00:27:19.480 might expect that there to be bones in the chicken. 465 00:27:20.039 --> 00:27:23.000 Of course they don't, said Justice Michael Donnelly, who wrote 466 00:27:23.000 --> 00:27:27.160 in The Descent. So he and three of his cohorts 467 00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:30.799 were the it was close. It was five to four. 468 00:27:31.000 --> 00:27:36.680 So there you go. Just know that chicken wing chicken 469 00:27:36.680 --> 00:27:40.000 wing cases may make their way to the US Supreme Court. 470 00:27:40.559 --> 00:27:47.640 All right, unfortunately, all right, well hang on, Oh by 471 00:27:47.640 --> 00:27:51.160 the way, we're on the ap thing. In fact, let 472 00:27:51.160 --> 00:27:55.720 me let me do this. The Associated Press has withdrawn 473 00:27:55.839 --> 00:28:00.519 a fact check. And if you're if you're not fully 474 00:28:00.640 --> 00:28:04.720 plugged in, you may have seen people cracking jokes about 475 00:28:04.759 --> 00:28:07.079 the fact check. But I want to explain to you 476 00:28:07.160 --> 00:28:10.160 why this is really important, and it has to do 477 00:28:10.240 --> 00:28:14.759 with Jade Vance and a couch. I know some of 478 00:28:14.759 --> 00:28:16.599 you didn't think I'd do this story. But now that 479 00:28:16.680 --> 00:28:21.440 Associated Press has literally weighed in and then chosen to 480 00:28:21.480 --> 00:28:25.839 remove them weighing in, it's just one more layer of 481 00:28:28.480 --> 00:28:30.599 the bias that we don't talk about. 482 00:28:31.039 --> 00:28:31.200 Right. 483 00:28:31.240 --> 00:28:33.559 It's easy to read a story and go, that's wrong, 484 00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:34.119 that's wrong. 485 00:28:34.240 --> 00:28:34.559 She was. 486 00:28:34.640 --> 00:28:37.440 Borders are, but what they choose to cover and what 487 00:28:37.480 --> 00:28:41.039 they don't choose to cover, and especially as it pertains 488 00:28:41.039 --> 00:28:43.440 to fact checks, is a big deal. 489 00:28:44.039 --> 00:28:45.000 And to the. 490 00:28:44.960 --> 00:28:50.440 Point where Associated Press is apologized Orsi excuse me, issued 491 00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:54.079 a clarification. Well, it sounds like an apology the morning. 492 00:28:53.880 --> 00:28:56.680 Casey, Yes, sir, I'd like to bring you your attention. 493 00:28:57.440 --> 00:29:01.440 Another discrepancy between the chicken and the fast food industry 494 00:29:01.599 --> 00:29:06.079 is the tenderloins tender oin tammus, or sometimes referred to 495 00:29:06.119 --> 00:29:11.559 as chicken tenders. And I'd like to point out that chicken. 496 00:29:12.480 --> 00:29:14.079 There's no tenderloin on the chicken. 497 00:29:15.440 --> 00:29:15.880 Yeah. 498 00:29:15.920 --> 00:29:19.799 Well, and and they again, they they spoke to this. 499 00:29:20.000 --> 00:29:23.240 I just I find something incredibly amusing that the US 500 00:29:23.279 --> 00:29:25.160 Supreme Court could be adjudicating this. 501 00:29:27.359 --> 00:29:31.480 Absolutely it seems fact they would have better things. 502 00:29:31.200 --> 00:29:32.599 Well one one would think. 503 00:29:32.680 --> 00:29:35.000 But if you get and thanks for the call there, surf, 504 00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:40.240 you get a couple lawsuits going back and forth. They've 505 00:29:40.519 --> 00:29:43.920 they've adjudicated stranger stuff, but it speaks to a bigger 506 00:29:43.960 --> 00:29:49.319 issue of food labeling, and that's, you know, that is 507 00:29:49.440 --> 00:29:53.680 really the challenge. It just stems from somebody eating boneless wings, which, 508 00:29:53.720 --> 00:29:56.799 by the way, why would you do that? Can eat 509 00:29:56.839 --> 00:30:01.799 wings man up right, And it's one thing if you're 510 00:30:01.880 --> 00:30:04.119 you know, you're giving it to a kid, but in 511 00:30:04.160 --> 00:30:07.000 this case, it's a grown adult who opted for the 512 00:30:07.079 --> 00:30:13.240 garlic parmesan boneless wings. You know, I'll say this as 513 00:30:14.039 --> 00:30:18.799 as somebody who likes to travel eating chicken in other countries, 514 00:30:21.799 --> 00:30:25.400 you assume there's gonna be bones in there. It's really weird. 515 00:30:26.039 --> 00:30:28.759 They don't do the same level of. 516 00:30:30.119 --> 00:30:30.680 De boning. 517 00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:34.240 Like if you get a boneless chicken breast and you 518 00:30:34.400 --> 00:30:38.039 order that in a restaurant, especially in Latin America, I've 519 00:30:38.079 --> 00:30:42.920 noticed there's probably bones in there, and so the first 520 00:30:42.920 --> 00:30:45.920 few times you eat it, even if they say it's boneless, 521 00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:49.200 you should be on the lookout for bones. So it's 522 00:30:49.240 --> 00:30:51.519 it is a privilege in the United States too, I 523 00:30:51.519 --> 00:30:54.160 guess generally assume there's not bones in there. But it's 524 00:30:54.200 --> 00:30:58.480 also a labeling thing, and no in California. They'll probably 525 00:30:58.480 --> 00:31:00.680 come down on the other side of this, all right. 526 00:31:00.759 --> 00:31:07.400 So the Associated Press thing is weird, man. So the 527 00:31:07.440 --> 00:31:11.799 associated and language is so important with these The Associated 528 00:31:11.839 --> 00:31:16.880 Press has removed a fact check that they published on 529 00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:21.279 They published it Wednesday night. They published it Wednesday, but 530 00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:25.680 they removed it yesterday evening, okay, and the fact check 531 00:31:25.960 --> 00:31:30.680 is this was the headline. No jd Vance did not 532 00:31:30.920 --> 00:31:40.119 have sex with the couch. I saw jokes. I didn't 533 00:31:40.160 --> 00:31:42.440 fully understand what it was until I dug into this 534 00:31:42.599 --> 00:31:46.039 just day, and I'm sorry I did, but it speaks 535 00:31:46.039 --> 00:31:53.559 to something important. One story selection, two wording within a story, 536 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.400 and you'll understand the difference after I explain it. So 537 00:31:57.480 --> 00:32:02.640 the Associated Press, it did an official check, published it Wednesday. Again, 538 00:32:03.119 --> 00:32:05.599 that's the headline, and you're thinking, well, how the why 539 00:32:05.640 --> 00:32:10.400 the hell are we here, because there was there were two. 540 00:32:10.279 --> 00:32:12.039 Memes going around. 541 00:32:14.039 --> 00:32:20.599 That in his book, which now every reviewer hates quite 542 00:32:21.079 --> 00:32:24.680 in his dreadful novel is literally how it's worded, right, 543 00:32:25.000 --> 00:32:30.599 everyone who loved it, all of these these mainstream reviewers 544 00:32:30.599 --> 00:32:33.119 who loved the movie, loved the book, now hate it 545 00:32:33.200 --> 00:32:39.480 because he's the you know, VP nominee said that in 546 00:32:39.599 --> 00:32:44.359 the novel, he talks about hooking up with a couch, 547 00:32:44.759 --> 00:32:49.119 except he doesn't. It's not in there anywhere, was never 548 00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:52.000 part of the book let alone. The movie, well, the 549 00:32:52.039 --> 00:32:56.480 Olympics with literally the opening ceremonies, just what hours away, 550 00:32:57.559 --> 00:32:59.559 that's going, well, we have. 551 00:33:03.240 --> 00:33:04.720 We have actual sabotage. 552 00:33:04.720 --> 00:33:06.559 I just want to be clear before I say what 553 00:33:06.640 --> 00:33:10.039 it is, because I'm just digesting this story literally right now. 554 00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:18.119 Good morning our number two. I I'm not gonna make 555 00:33:18.160 --> 00:33:20.839 a thing of it, but I will tell you what 556 00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.640 I told you at the beginning of the show. You 557 00:33:23.680 --> 00:33:26.240 have to understand the process for doing the show. So 558 00:33:26.680 --> 00:33:31.880 when I pull together stories in the evening, I sent 559 00:33:31.960 --> 00:33:33.960 them over to Ross. We put them in a stack. 560 00:33:34.440 --> 00:33:37.680 But they're literally for reference. They're for audio cuts we're 561 00:33:37.720 --> 00:33:41.000 gonna play. They're for numbers that I may need access to. 562 00:33:41.960 --> 00:33:49.759 But I I don't use notes. I literally read and 563 00:33:49.799 --> 00:33:53.240 commit to memory the vast majority of what's in the stories. 564 00:33:53.319 --> 00:33:56.000 And I'm not telling you this to brag, but like, 565 00:33:56.880 --> 00:34:02.039 it's a way of doing talk radio that requires you 566 00:34:02.319 --> 00:34:05.799 to have mental acuity and bounce around. And I got 567 00:34:05.799 --> 00:34:09.280 to tell you it started to set in last night 568 00:34:09.320 --> 00:34:14.480 and I woke up this morning, and I am mentally burned, 569 00:34:14.760 --> 00:34:15.800 and I think a lot. 570 00:34:15.639 --> 00:34:16.559 Of you are as well. 571 00:34:17.639 --> 00:34:21.360 Like being able to bounce around and even remember stuff 572 00:34:21.360 --> 00:34:23.239 that I put in the stack yesterday is at a 573 00:34:23.239 --> 00:34:27.199 bare minimum right now. So and I and I'm telling 574 00:34:27.239 --> 00:34:30.119 you not to have you feel bad for me. One, 575 00:34:30.320 --> 00:34:33.400 I think a lot of you can mentally relate. But two, 576 00:34:34.679 --> 00:34:39.639 I want you to know why the show sounds rough today. 577 00:34:41.400 --> 00:34:48.280 And what we've seen over the last few weeks is wild. 578 00:34:48.079 --> 00:34:50.320 Man, you know. 579 00:34:50.639 --> 00:34:54.920 Uh And and obviously Trump nearly getting assassinated was the 580 00:34:55.480 --> 00:34:57.559 was the kickoff, it was the impetus, but. 581 00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:02.320 Then Biden's out. 582 00:35:02.480 --> 00:35:09.199 The absolute laid bare bias of the media that you're 583 00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:14.639 seeing right now is mind boggling. What took place in Washington, 584 00:35:14.719 --> 00:35:19.519 d C. Which we have some updates from Capitol Police 585 00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:24.880 as to why they were very minimal arrests. 586 00:35:25.400 --> 00:35:29.239 And and you know, will that be the end of it? 587 00:35:29.280 --> 00:35:34.239 Maybe maybe they basically said we did that, we didn't 588 00:35:34.280 --> 00:35:38.000 have the staffing to conduct the full scale arrests, and they're. 589 00:35:37.840 --> 00:35:39.000 Probably not wrong. 590 00:35:40.239 --> 00:35:42.880 And you can call it defund the police and everything, 591 00:35:43.599 --> 00:35:47.239 you know, whatever gets you there. But it's another one 592 00:35:47.239 --> 00:35:52.000 of these situations where you're sitting there and you're realizing 593 00:35:52.039 --> 00:35:54.559 that the full court press from the DOJ that you 594 00:35:54.719 --> 00:35:59.519 saw for over January sixth, stuff just isn't going to materialize. 595 00:35:59.639 --> 00:36:03.119 And it's it, and it's it's meant to beat you down. 596 00:36:03.920 --> 00:36:07.079 And don't worry. I'll I'll get, I'll get, you know, 597 00:36:08.599 --> 00:36:12.199 fingers crossed at least one day to mentally disconnect over 598 00:36:12.239 --> 00:36:14.199 the weekend, and we'll be back champion at the bid 599 00:36:14.239 --> 00:36:14.800 on Monday. 600 00:36:14.840 --> 00:36:19.760 But it it, it all has an impact. 601 00:36:21.360 --> 00:36:23.440 And I want you to know that if you're feeling 602 00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:28.880 that way, I appreciate you, you know, sticking with sticking 603 00:36:28.920 --> 00:36:31.480 with us and and you know, going on Twitter and 604 00:36:31.519 --> 00:36:32.280 there's there's. 605 00:36:32.079 --> 00:36:33.159 Hopeful signs there. 606 00:36:33.199 --> 00:36:33.440 Man. 607 00:36:34.639 --> 00:36:37.880 I I I mentioned it yesterday as I was just 608 00:36:38.039 --> 00:36:40.400 sitting there staring off into the void after I had 609 00:36:40.440 --> 00:36:44.960 sent prep. I don't know, I don't know what it 610 00:36:45.000 --> 00:36:47.519 would it would have looked like, and what this this 611 00:36:47.880 --> 00:36:53.519 shortened election would look like if not for Elon's acquisition 612 00:36:53.639 --> 00:36:57.960 of Twitter. Man, Because the amount of garbage that they 613 00:36:57.960 --> 00:37:04.119 are shoveling right now. The TV station in Minneapolis WCCO 614 00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:11.119 is like wr L right, they're the really in the 615 00:37:11.199 --> 00:37:15.800 bag bias station In fact, we used to call them 616 00:37:15.880 --> 00:37:19.679 on the radio. In Minneapolis, we call them WDFL. And 617 00:37:19.719 --> 00:37:23.280 the reason of the reason is is because in Minnesota, 618 00:37:23.280 --> 00:37:27.360 the Democrat Party is actually called the DFL party. See 619 00:37:27.400 --> 00:37:29.679 it's the only place I've ever worked where they're not 620 00:37:29.760 --> 00:37:32.960 the Democrats, They're the DFL, which stands for Democrat, Farm 621 00:37:33.000 --> 00:37:38.599 and Labor. So it fits very nicely when wanting to 622 00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:43.440 label a TV station. They had the audacity to sit 623 00:37:43.519 --> 00:37:49.960 there and run with their anchor yesterday that Kamala Harris 624 00:37:50.159 --> 00:37:57.360 never participated or supported the bail fund. Well, obviously it 625 00:37:57.400 --> 00:38:01.280 happened to Minnesota. There's tweets from her, and there is 626 00:38:01.480 --> 00:38:06.320 video of her being interviewed by the TV station throwing 627 00:38:06.360 --> 00:38:10.920 her support behind it. And then you couple that with 628 00:38:11.079 --> 00:38:15.280 the she was never borders are a single page memo 629 00:38:15.400 --> 00:38:20.159 thing that came out on telling elected Democrats how to 630 00:38:20.280 --> 00:38:23.199 talk about it, how to lie about it. I guess 631 00:38:23.239 --> 00:38:27.079 it would be more accurate. And then you realize as 632 00:38:27.119 --> 00:38:31.599 you're watching the reporting yesterday evening that the media is 633 00:38:31.719 --> 00:38:34.639 literally reading from it. Here is point by point, so 634 00:38:34.679 --> 00:38:37.320 I don't have to explain what was on this index card. 635 00:38:37.960 --> 00:38:40.760 It's the media using it. And in many cases with 636 00:38:40.960 --> 00:38:42.000 verbatim language. 637 00:38:42.039 --> 00:38:45.679 She was never actually borders are, borders are, which was. 638 00:38:45.679 --> 00:38:47.880 Not something that was formally conveyed upon her. 639 00:38:47.920 --> 00:38:50.960 She's been labeled incorrectly by some members of the right 640 00:38:51.000 --> 00:38:51.960 as the borders are. 641 00:38:52.079 --> 00:38:53.840 Republicans named her the borders are. 642 00:38:53.960 --> 00:38:56.920 Republicans have always exaggerated what her job was at the border. 643 00:38:57.039 --> 00:38:59.639 Republicans again have labeled her the borders are. 644 00:38:59.840 --> 00:39:03.079 That's not exactly what President Biden asked her to do. 645 00:39:03.239 --> 00:39:04.880 She was never put in charge of the border. 646 00:39:04.920 --> 00:39:07.559 That wasn't actually her task, not to secure it, but 647 00:39:07.599 --> 00:39:11.159 to address the underlying roots of migration. She was charged 648 00:39:11.159 --> 00:39:14.360 with leading the administration's efforts to address the root causes 649 00:39:14.360 --> 00:39:15.440 of migration. 650 00:39:15.199 --> 00:39:17.800 The root causes of migration to the US. 651 00:39:17.760 --> 00:39:21.400 The root causes, root causes, root causes, or root causes 652 00:39:21.480 --> 00:39:22.800 root causes of immigration. 653 00:39:22.960 --> 00:39:25.360 We also want to point out that right now, apprehension 654 00:39:25.440 --> 00:39:28.800 numbers continue to decrease in our country, especially over the 655 00:39:28.920 --> 00:39:30.039 last few months. 656 00:39:30.079 --> 00:39:32.239 And I just want to know that border crossings have 657 00:39:32.360 --> 00:39:33.280 been going. 658 00:39:33.000 --> 00:39:35.400 Down and illegal border crossings are lower. 659 00:39:35.519 --> 00:39:38.119 Right now, Migrant crossings continue to drop. 660 00:39:38.159 --> 00:39:39.679 Border crossings are way down. 661 00:39:39.760 --> 00:39:41.159 Border crossings are down. 662 00:39:41.880 --> 00:39:45.800 I remember, I remember when because every one of those 663 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:49.679 media outlets is saying that they lied, or they would 664 00:39:49.719 --> 00:39:53.800 say that they had they were inaccurate. And so the 665 00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:59.360 proof there is, do you believe that every news outlet 666 00:39:59.679 --> 00:40:02.960 who reported her as the borders are and we played 667 00:40:02.960 --> 00:40:11.119 it yesterday took Republican's word for it, that that that 668 00:40:11.280 --> 00:40:13.840 is the only that is the only way that their 669 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:19.840 previous reporting lines up with what they're now saying. They're saying, one, 670 00:40:20.360 --> 00:40:22.320 we screwed it up, but also they're saying that the 671 00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:26.199 only people that were saying that are Republicans. Do you 672 00:40:26.280 --> 00:40:31.519 think that CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, the lot of them 673 00:40:33.360 --> 00:40:39.719 used Republican talking points? Even when Republicans issue a statement 674 00:40:39.760 --> 00:40:43.239 that is an opinion statement or in god forbid, a 675 00:40:43.280 --> 00:40:46.199 factual statement that they might have to check out, they 676 00:40:46.239 --> 00:40:51.320 don't take that. They would never adapt to the Republican language, 677 00:40:51.360 --> 00:40:57.760 save maybe Fox News, and they're willing to. They're willing 678 00:40:57.800 --> 00:40:59.599 to fall on this stord and they're willing to run 679 00:40:59.639 --> 00:41:05.360 this and it is mind blowing to me. And the 680 00:41:05.400 --> 00:41:07.719 only thing that I can hope as I'm sitting there 681 00:41:08.639 --> 00:41:14.039 mentally trying to process it, is that more people who 682 00:41:14.280 --> 00:41:17.840 are casuals on social media might see one of the 683 00:41:17.920 --> 00:41:24.000 community notes, or see somebody who very concisely explains something 684 00:41:24.039 --> 00:41:30.920 that doesn't process in their brain. Because if that doesn't 685 00:41:30.960 --> 00:41:35.400 work and they're able to pull this off, you'll never 686 00:41:35.440 --> 00:41:39.880 you'll never get truth from them. They need to suffer 687 00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:47.039 the consequences of I guess a further jetti singing of audience, 688 00:41:48.320 --> 00:41:52.960 or people at the ballot box saying no, this is 689 00:41:53.960 --> 00:41:58.679 hot garbage, We're not going to do this. And you know, 690 00:41:58.800 --> 00:42:01.000 sixty percent of people in a poll that I saw, 691 00:42:01.039 --> 00:42:03.480 and it's it's not a poll that is generally favorable 692 00:42:03.480 --> 00:42:07.920 to Republicans, sixty percent believe that Kamala Harris was among 693 00:42:08.000 --> 00:42:13.960 those who was helping to cover up what was going 694 00:42:14.000 --> 00:42:18.920 on with Biden. Well, from a journalistic standpoint of sixty 695 00:42:18.960 --> 00:42:22.519 percent of people think there's something being covered up, then 696 00:42:23.079 --> 00:42:26.800 wouldn't sixty percent of people not think that Biden's capable 697 00:42:26.840 --> 00:42:31.559 of being president right now? And you know, this is 698 00:42:31.679 --> 00:42:34.480 this is this is my process an extrap and then 699 00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:36.199 I remember, all right, I'm going to make that point, 700 00:42:36.199 --> 00:42:42.519 that point, and it's it is a it is a 701 00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:48.000 process that yesterday my brain just said, you know what, dude, 702 00:42:48.039 --> 00:42:54.159 you need to think about anything, but this, and so. 703 00:42:55.480 --> 00:42:58.000 I know many of you are there. 704 00:42:58.079 --> 00:43:02.280 I've seen the frustration on social media and I try 705 00:43:02.280 --> 00:43:05.760 to be the hopeful guy and I still am, but 706 00:43:06.199 --> 00:43:08.079 I sound like I got hit by a truck today. 707 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:11.320 So and I always want to be honest with you. 708 00:43:11.440 --> 00:43:14.360 So that's where we're at. Okay, all right, rock and roll, 709 00:43:15.239 --> 00:43:19.039 and you know it's death by a thousand cuts. Associated 710 00:43:19.119 --> 00:43:24.199 Press has now backed off a fact check that is 711 00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:27.519 one of the most absurd things I have ever seen, 712 00:43:28.199 --> 00:43:30.960 and you have to understand the language in it. Associated 713 00:43:30.960 --> 00:43:35.679 Press issued a fact check Wednesday. Yesterday, they redacted it 714 00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:41.360 and the fact check was titled ear muffs. I guess 715 00:43:41.440 --> 00:43:44.639 we got a little kid around. You know. Jd Vance 716 00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:49.440 did not have sex with a couch. Now, the absurdity 717 00:43:49.440 --> 00:43:52.119 of even choosing to do this based on some like 718 00:43:52.280 --> 00:43:57.079 weird social media post is nuts, but the way that 719 00:43:57.159 --> 00:44:00.760 they worded it is the most instructive. They went point 720 00:44:00.760 --> 00:44:04.559 by point, explaining that nowhere in his book he'll bill 721 00:44:04.599 --> 00:44:08.559 the elogy or elegy I can never pronounce it. Is 722 00:44:08.639 --> 00:44:12.599 there a portion where he talked about securing a rubber 723 00:44:12.599 --> 00:44:16.599 glove between cushions on a couch. But they don't say 724 00:44:16.679 --> 00:44:21.760 that what they say, is we can't. We can't tell 725 00:44:21.800 --> 00:44:26.159 you for sure that he didn't do it. And the 726 00:44:26.199 --> 00:44:31.239 wording matters, right, because there's something you're throwing out there 727 00:44:31.920 --> 00:44:37.639 that is easily fact checkable. Search the book, the pdf 728 00:44:38.159 --> 00:44:40.760 p used the PDF version of the book, and search 729 00:44:40.840 --> 00:44:43.880 for keywords if you're too lazy to read the damn thing, 730 00:44:45.039 --> 00:44:48.400 and then you know, go and say, no, this doesn't 731 00:44:48.400 --> 00:44:49.639 appear in the book anywhere. 732 00:44:49.639 --> 00:44:50.800 But that's not what they said. 733 00:44:51.480 --> 00:44:54.679 They said, and there is really no way for any 734 00:44:54.719 --> 00:44:57.119 of us to prove that he didn't have sex with 735 00:44:57.159 --> 00:45:02.679 a couch. Well, by that standard, there is no standard, 736 00:45:02.880 --> 00:45:05.400 right because I have no way to prove that Ross 737 00:45:05.440 --> 00:45:08.840 didn't murder thirteen hobos in a spree in the late nineties. 738 00:45:11.320 --> 00:45:12.639 I've no way to prove he didn't. 739 00:45:14.199 --> 00:45:20.239 But maybe he did. Wouldn't put it past him, and 740 00:45:20.760 --> 00:45:22.199 that's the absurdity of doing it. 741 00:45:22.239 --> 00:45:22.360 Well. 742 00:45:22.400 --> 00:45:25.119 Associated Press now says that it didn't go through the 743 00:45:25.119 --> 00:45:32.599 propreditorial process, so they have removed it from their wire offerings. 744 00:45:33.760 --> 00:45:35.519 And actually the way that they. 745 00:45:38.000 --> 00:45:41.760 The way that AP sends stuff out without getting technical, 746 00:45:42.360 --> 00:45:45.159 is how they're trying to explain, well, it never went 747 00:45:45.360 --> 00:45:48.880 fully on the wire. It was only made available. That's 748 00:45:48.920 --> 00:45:51.880 a cop out. And if you understand how the AP works, 749 00:45:51.920 --> 00:45:54.639 you will understand why. But I'm not going to explain 750 00:45:54.679 --> 00:45:58.719 the whole thing. It's absolute absurdities. But it tells you 751 00:45:59.679 --> 00:46:02.199 in in the minds of people who need a reason 752 00:46:02.199 --> 00:46:06.440 and not like jd Vance that well, look, AP couldn't 753 00:46:06.480 --> 00:46:10.519 find that he did, but maybe he did, and it 754 00:46:10.519 --> 00:46:12.880 it caused more and more people. 755 00:46:12.559 --> 00:46:14.519 To put this this. 756 00:46:14.519 --> 00:46:17.679 Weird joke or hit piece or whatever you want to 757 00:46:17.760 --> 00:46:21.760 call it out and it literally started trending as a result. 758 00:46:24.760 --> 00:46:28.079 You tell me that's not by design? Why these errors 759 00:46:28.199 --> 00:46:35.000 always go in the same direction that are are to 760 00:46:35.199 --> 00:46:39.079 smear Trump or too smear jd Vance And the the 761 00:46:39.239 --> 00:46:42.679 current one you're seeing today is Trump doesn't want a debate. 762 00:46:42.760 --> 00:46:46.960 Well we'll break that down here in just a few minutes. Uh, Donna, 763 00:46:47.000 --> 00:46:47.559 what's up? 764 00:46:48.280 --> 00:46:50.320 Good morning, I'm doing them all. 765 00:46:50.400 --> 00:46:50.719 Thank you? 766 00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:51.519 How are you? 767 00:46:52.239 --> 00:46:55.760 Yeah? You know, it's Friday, so we're good. 768 00:46:56.400 --> 00:46:58.760 You You've got a weekend coming up, so drink a 769 00:46:58.800 --> 00:47:04.559 lot of burbon and you'll better. So this happened to 770 00:47:04.559 --> 00:47:08.719 me before I started using Twitter. I was an independent 771 00:47:09.920 --> 00:47:14.239 and when the twenty sixteen election came along, I voted 772 00:47:14.280 --> 00:47:16.360 for Trump because there's no way I could vote for Hillary. 773 00:47:16.599 --> 00:47:19.079 So it really wasn't a vote for her. For him, 774 00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:22.000 it was a vote against her. But then I started 775 00:47:22.039 --> 00:47:25.599 to really pay attention, and slowly it was like a 776 00:47:25.679 --> 00:47:29.280 veil was being lifted off my eyes. And now I 777 00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:32.159 can't believe, Like everything that you just played is just 778 00:47:32.480 --> 00:47:35.559 it blows my mind. Yesterday, what was going around was 779 00:47:36.000 --> 00:47:41.400 w CCO forgive me if you mentioned this, it's a yeah, yeah, 780 00:47:41.880 --> 00:47:44.920 accuses Harris. I mean, we all know if you're but 781 00:47:45.000 --> 00:47:46.800 if you're not on Twitter, you would. 782 00:47:46.639 --> 00:47:47.079 Not know that. 783 00:47:48.599 --> 00:47:53.199 So yeah, yeah, no, no, no. CCO was the Ral of Minneapolis. 784 00:47:53.760 --> 00:47:57.000 They were yeah, bring. 785 00:47:56.840 --> 00:48:02.639 Them absolutely and in the bag. There was never a question. 786 00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:04.440 Which is why when I was on the air in Minneapolis, 787 00:48:04.440 --> 00:48:07.800 it's who we made fun of. So but we're beyond, 788 00:48:07.880 --> 00:48:11.159 We're beyond making fun of them, right it is. It 789 00:48:11.239 --> 00:48:14.920 is downright criminal what they're doing, right. 790 00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:20.440 It's insidious, it's very they're all Democrat parrots. And listen 791 00:48:20.480 --> 00:48:22.760 to how the language that they use is just parting 792 00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:24.960 each other and it's all live. 793 00:48:25.840 --> 00:48:27.920 And if I swear, if it wasn't for Trump, I 794 00:48:27.960 --> 00:48:28.840 would have never seen it. 795 00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:31.880 Well, don I appreciate the call this warm up against 796 00:48:31.920 --> 00:48:34.880 the clock here. Yeah, oh sorry, I didn't mean to 797 00:48:34.880 --> 00:48:38.480 hang up on her quite that quickly. But and it's why, 798 00:48:38.559 --> 00:48:40.480 and I didn't do a good job to explain. It's why, 799 00:48:40.639 --> 00:48:45.400 Like the language of the Associated Press that matters. That matters, 800 00:48:45.760 --> 00:48:48.679 and it matters the way that they're spending the Christopher 801 00:48:48.800 --> 00:48:49.719 Ray testimony. 802 00:48:50.280 --> 00:48:52.599 So we'll touch on that. I'll let you know what's 803 00:48:52.639 --> 00:48:53.679 going on in the Olympics. 804 00:48:53.679 --> 00:48:57.119 There's some crazy stories, and we'll do that coming up 805 00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:02.239 in just a few minutes here on the Casey Radio program. 806 00:49:01.639 --> 00:49:07.719 I go back and forth, but there's just a generic 807 00:49:07.800 --> 00:49:13.519 version of it. Are Republicans Are they doing themselves a 808 00:49:13.559 --> 00:49:20.400 disservice calling Kamala a DEI candidate? And the answer is, 809 00:49:20.719 --> 00:49:24.360 I don't know. There's a lot of folks who think 810 00:49:24.400 --> 00:49:29.119 that the the you know, the sexual stuff with Kamala 811 00:49:29.159 --> 00:49:37.119 Harris is is really dumb, and I mostly agree with that. 812 00:49:37.239 --> 00:49:42.480 But also, has there been anything that's off limits with Trump? 813 00:49:46.119 --> 00:49:51.360 Like we just went through a trial over a porn. 814 00:49:51.159 --> 00:49:56.000 Star and and and I understand that, well, you know, 815 00:49:56.159 --> 00:49:57.039 the other side does that. 816 00:49:57.119 --> 00:50:00.199 It doesn't make it necessarily right. I don't know. Oh, 817 00:50:00.239 --> 00:50:02.679 what tracks and what doesn't like. 818 00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:06.960 I haven't seen individualize polling on it, so you know, 819 00:50:07.119 --> 00:50:11.440 everything from the the Billy Bush tape to everything. There 820 00:50:11.480 --> 00:50:15.119 has been nothing that's off limits. So I understand why 821 00:50:15.159 --> 00:50:18.480 people go in that direction. But I separate the DEI 822 00:50:18.679 --> 00:50:22.920 thing only because they made such a big deal out 823 00:50:22.920 --> 00:50:28.320 of it. Right there's there is transcript and audio and 824 00:50:28.320 --> 00:50:33.320 and you know, printed word from the President literally saying 825 00:50:33.480 --> 00:50:37.559 that this is why he's doing what he's doing. So I, I, 826 00:50:37.800 --> 00:50:40.239 you know, I don't know if it's a winning strategy, 827 00:50:40.920 --> 00:50:43.199 but I'm not going to begrudge people on that. I 828 00:50:43.280 --> 00:50:45.400 tend to agree that maybe they're not going to get 829 00:50:45.400 --> 00:50:51.000 anywhere with the that stupid logo right where she's on 830 00:50:51.039 --> 00:50:56.079 her knees and the side chick stuff. I think it's 831 00:50:56.159 --> 00:50:59.719 dumb and I and while you can argue that it's 832 00:50:59.760 --> 00:51:03.159 a curate and they did the same to Trump, the 833 00:51:03.280 --> 00:51:08.320 question becomes does it net you more votes? And I 834 00:51:08.320 --> 00:51:11.880 don't know if independence you're you're literally targeting here are 835 00:51:11.880 --> 00:51:12.320 going to have. 836 00:51:12.320 --> 00:51:13.519 Much appetite for it. 837 00:51:15.000 --> 00:51:22.599 But the DEI stuff, I'm truly on the fence with 838 00:51:22.639 --> 00:51:26.559 that because they made such a big deal out of 839 00:51:26.599 --> 00:51:29.679 it and literally explain that they were going to pick 840 00:51:29.719 --> 00:51:34.039 a black woman to be president or to be a 841 00:51:34.119 --> 00:51:38.840 vice president. So I hear you. So I know I'm 842 00:51:38.840 --> 00:51:43.039 splitting the baby there, but that's where I'm at, you know. 843 00:51:43.199 --> 00:51:45.280 And and now the latest thing we're going to be 844 00:51:45.280 --> 00:51:49.679 dealing with today is the narrative that Donald Trump won't 845 00:51:49.679 --> 00:51:53.360 debate her because he's terrified of her, which of course 846 00:51:53.480 --> 00:51:55.480 the media is. 847 00:51:55.199 --> 00:51:55.760 Going to run. 848 00:51:56.559 --> 00:51:58.679 And at no point are they going to sit there 849 00:51:58.719 --> 00:52:02.199 and read the actual statement that the Trump put out 850 00:52:02.239 --> 00:52:06.400 on Truth, which simply said, I have I have terms 851 00:52:06.719 --> 00:52:11.679 and conditions to debate Joe Biden. Remember they were basically 852 00:52:11.760 --> 00:52:15.320 his terms and conditions. I don't even know if Kamala 853 00:52:15.360 --> 00:52:19.280 is going to be that person. So at this point 854 00:52:19.440 --> 00:52:24.639 we'll wait and see, which sounds logical now from a 855 00:52:24.639 --> 00:52:27.760 strategy stand but he's probably smart just saying yeah, I'll 856 00:52:27.760 --> 00:52:32.639 debate her under those terms following the the the DEM 857 00:52:32.760 --> 00:52:40.079 convention in Chicago, because I don't think she does well 858 00:52:40.119 --> 00:52:42.800 in a debate with him. I think there's a lot 859 00:52:42.800 --> 00:52:48.880 of cackling. And you know, no matter how biased the 860 00:52:48.960 --> 00:52:52.599 moderator is in that you saw the deer in the 861 00:52:52.639 --> 00:52:55.760 headlights with her when she was sitting now with ABC, 862 00:52:56.039 --> 00:52:58.679 and they asked her, like, you're the you're the most 863 00:52:58.760 --> 00:53:00.920 liberal senator and she's like, well, Mike Pence said that, 864 00:53:01.480 --> 00:53:05.360 and then for whatever reason, the ABC reporter was actually like, well, no, 865 00:53:05.639 --> 00:53:09.480 the you gov actually said that the non partisan group, 866 00:53:09.880 --> 00:53:13.199 and she was absolutely stymied. She didn't know how to 867 00:53:13.239 --> 00:53:17.159 respond to that. But when you see the story today 868 00:53:17.199 --> 00:53:20.079 that Donald Trump's too much of a coward to debate her, 869 00:53:20.440 --> 00:53:23.599 he simply said, if she's the nominee, we'll wait and 870 00:53:23.599 --> 00:53:28.440 see and we'll figure it out from there. But you know, 871 00:53:28.760 --> 00:53:33.079 just watch watch how that gets handled, and I think 872 00:53:33.079 --> 00:53:36.360 it'll be very eye opening. All right, let's get in 873 00:53:36.440 --> 00:53:40.679 on this, Josh, what's up, Casey? 874 00:53:41.480 --> 00:53:44.440 Hey, I was I was wondering, just like the jd 875 00:53:44.639 --> 00:53:48.000 Vance thing. Ye know, there's no proof for no way 876 00:53:48.000 --> 00:53:49.079 you can say it didn't happen. 877 00:53:49.559 --> 00:53:54.719 You know, maybe this, uh, maybe this whole thing is saying, hey, Trump, 878 00:53:54.760 --> 00:53:57.840 don't go after this, and senators don't. 879 00:53:57.719 --> 00:53:59.320 Go after this. But they're putting it all out in 880 00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:01.599 the news and it's on my news feet every time 881 00:54:01.639 --> 00:54:05.559 I look on my phone daily and it's already out 882 00:54:05.599 --> 00:54:06.559 there or it's out there. 883 00:54:06.559 --> 00:54:08.760 Maybe that was their playing all along that Trump doesn't 884 00:54:08.800 --> 00:54:10.760 have to do the starty work himself. 885 00:54:10.960 --> 00:54:14.360 Well, but but but the the parameters for her being 886 00:54:14.480 --> 00:54:17.639 selected are not up in the air like the j 887 00:54:18.159 --> 00:54:19.920 The JD. Vans thing isn't even up in the air. 888 00:54:19.960 --> 00:54:23.039 It's not in the book. But you know, the argument 889 00:54:23.079 --> 00:54:25.679 that he did or he didn't do the American Pie 890 00:54:25.840 --> 00:54:30.119 thing is is dumb and and and in this case 891 00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:34.119 we know because Joe Biden said, these are the parameters 892 00:54:34.159 --> 00:54:37.880 for who he was selecting. So I can't treat the 893 00:54:38.679 --> 00:54:43.119 two is the same thing, I guess. But is it 894 00:54:43.239 --> 00:54:45.280 Is it beneficial from a vote standpoint? 895 00:54:45.400 --> 00:54:45.880 I don't know. 896 00:54:47.760 --> 00:54:51.159 I think I think it can be alienating to women. 897 00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:57.280 And you know, he's he's he's gonna need women because 898 00:54:57.519 --> 00:55:00.599 that is the direction going to go in. 899 00:55:00.719 --> 00:55:04.440 So I think absolutely right. They are going to be 900 00:55:04.440 --> 00:55:06.880 people that's mad if it's talked about, and there's going 901 00:55:06.960 --> 00:55:08.840 to be people who are mad if it's not talked 902 00:55:08.840 --> 00:55:09.840 about if. 903 00:55:09.760 --> 00:55:12.880 It's talked about in context, and thank you for the call, Josha, 904 00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:17.599 it's talked about in context where the person acknowledges, Hey, yeah, 905 00:55:17.679 --> 00:55:19.559 let me let me watch the video of Joe Biden 906 00:55:19.679 --> 00:55:22.840 saying it. Then then you're fine. But if they just 907 00:55:22.920 --> 00:55:28.119 hear DEI stuff, Oh, he's only selected her because she's 908 00:55:28.119 --> 00:55:31.480 she was a woman, people who were only half plugged in, 909 00:55:31.639 --> 00:55:36.760 I think are going to recoil. Some some people are 910 00:55:36.800 --> 00:55:39.280 smart enough to realize that that is probably the case 911 00:55:39.320 --> 00:55:41.599 even without hearing the quote, because they've seen it in 912 00:55:41.679 --> 00:55:44.840 action in one hundred different news stories that we've done. 913 00:55:46.199 --> 00:55:47.639 So there you go. 914 00:55:47.719 --> 00:55:54.000 And and also I also predict that the big conspiracy 915 00:55:54.079 --> 00:55:57.480 theory from the attempt at Trump assassination, which isn't getting 916 00:55:57.519 --> 00:56:00.280 a ton of esteem right now but they've started to 917 00:56:00.440 --> 00:56:03.719 pick up, is going to be the Donald Trump was 918 00:56:03.760 --> 00:56:09.559 never shot. And that was because Christopher Ray deflected right 919 00:56:10.519 --> 00:56:13.639 during the testimony. And I'll play it for you. This 920 00:56:13.840 --> 00:56:17.639 was just a moment of testimony and it created a 921 00:56:17.639 --> 00:56:21.960 whole narrative set of news stories. Newsweek ran in an 922 00:56:22.119 --> 00:56:26.679 article yesterday. And I suspect that as you get further 923 00:56:26.760 --> 00:56:30.760 in time, this will be the new good people on 924 00:56:30.840 --> 00:56:35.719 both sides, because well, let me play the Ray thing 925 00:56:35.760 --> 00:56:38.119 and then I'll explain the part that's missing. 926 00:56:38.239 --> 00:56:43.920 I think with respect to former President Trump, there's there's 927 00:56:43.920 --> 00:56:46.960 some question about whether or not it's a bullet or 928 00:56:47.000 --> 00:56:50.679 shrapnel that you know that hit his ear. So it's conceivable, 929 00:56:51.119 --> 00:56:52.719 as I say here right now, I don't know whether 930 00:56:52.760 --> 00:56:56.480 that bullet, in addition to you know, clausing and the grazing, 931 00:56:56.880 --> 00:57:00.199 could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe you've 932 00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:03.480 accounted for all of the shots and the cartridges all right. 933 00:57:03.519 --> 00:57:07.760 Well, And this was along the lines of where Secret 934 00:57:07.800 --> 00:57:11.280 Service deferred to FBI investigation. Then when Ray came in, 935 00:57:11.360 --> 00:57:15.159 he deferred back to Secret Service. According to the Secret Service, 936 00:57:15.239 --> 00:57:18.800 they do believe it was the bullet that passed through. 937 00:57:19.320 --> 00:57:23.159 And absolutely could a bullet pass through the very soft 938 00:57:23.199 --> 00:57:26.559 portion of the of a quarter inch of the year, 939 00:57:27.079 --> 00:57:29.719 which is the description that we have from the doctors, 940 00:57:30.760 --> 00:57:34.400 and continue on its path. Absolutely bullets passed through straight 941 00:57:34.440 --> 00:57:38.119 through human bodies and ended up hitting other people. The 942 00:57:38.199 --> 00:57:44.199 absolute absurdity of it. And Ray sitting there and not 943 00:57:44.440 --> 00:57:48.159 he could have acknowledged that the FBI didn't independently find 944 00:57:48.320 --> 00:57:51.119 because the Secret Service was in charge of it. But 945 00:57:51.239 --> 00:57:55.320 he threw out the well could have been shrapnel, and 946 00:57:55.400 --> 00:57:59.559 I don't think that was unintentional. So news we got 947 00:57:59.599 --> 00:58:03.039 the ball rolling. There's such a ridiculous version of what 948 00:58:03.119 --> 00:58:05.800 they used to be that. That's a talking point that 949 00:58:05.880 --> 00:58:08.320 I think is going to get carried forward and become 950 00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:11.880 part of the lore. And because the further you get 951 00:58:11.920 --> 00:58:15.840 away from it, the further you are from being able 952 00:58:15.880 --> 00:58:19.559 to prove or disprove it. Just my prediction. Let's grab 953 00:58:19.960 --> 00:58:24.320 speaking of predictions, raced agent from the weather Channel, and uh, 954 00:58:24.360 --> 00:58:26.760 you know what we need. We need a calm, peaceful, 955 00:58:27.239 --> 00:58:32.679 good weather weekend. So well, and that's the theory, right, 956 00:58:32.920 --> 00:58:34.480 And what's so funny? 957 00:58:35.800 --> 00:58:39.480 Yeah, Well to say I'm hesitant for the weekend forecast, 958 00:58:39.559 --> 00:58:42.079 to say it's going to be completely dry, I guess 959 00:58:42.360 --> 00:58:46.159 for me it's an understatement. I mean it is, it's 960 00:58:46.239 --> 00:58:48.639 close because high pressure to the north right now looks 961 00:58:48.639 --> 00:58:51.320 like it's going to win this battle. And finally we 962 00:58:51.440 --> 00:58:54.599 get out of the rain chances each afternoon, except as 963 00:58:54.599 --> 00:58:56.239 you go west, I still think we're going to have 964 00:58:56.280 --> 00:58:59.800 it today central parts of the state off to the east. 965 00:59:00.039 --> 00:59:02.840 So again, if you are heading to the beaches, they'll 966 00:59:02.840 --> 00:59:04.599 be rain around, but don't worry. There will be dry 967 00:59:04.639 --> 00:59:06.519 hours too. And then as we head on through tonight 968 00:59:06.559 --> 00:59:08.960 and tomorrow at high is going to try to push 969 00:59:09.039 --> 00:59:10.880 in and get some dryer air in here. And I 970 00:59:10.920 --> 00:59:14.559 think except into the mountains, we may be rain free tomorrow, 971 00:59:14.679 --> 00:59:17.920 possibly even on Sunday, so that'll be welcome news. Today, 972 00:59:17.920 --> 00:59:20.599 we'll still get probably in the middle eighties, and then 973 00:59:20.599 --> 00:59:22.639 as we look ahead toward the weekend, I'm getting into 974 00:59:22.639 --> 00:59:24.480 the mid maybe upper eighties. It'll stay in the low 975 00:59:24.519 --> 00:59:26.840 to mid eighties, and the try it in points west 976 00:59:26.880 --> 00:59:29.199 and early next week may start dry Monday, but I 977 00:59:29.199 --> 00:59:30.800 think we'll get back into the wet weather as we 978 00:59:30.800 --> 00:59:34.440 can into Tuesday Wednesday of next week. So today the 979 00:59:34.440 --> 00:59:37.920 best rain chants, meaning the best coverage this afternoon. I'm 980 00:59:37.960 --> 00:59:41.119 just going to say from about the triangle east, you 981 00:59:41.159 --> 00:59:43.440 go toward the west, a little less coverage on the rainfall, 982 00:59:44.000 --> 00:59:46.519 but not all afternoon, mid afternoon through this evening and 983 00:59:46.559 --> 00:59:48.880 your Friday evening plans. And then this weekend we're going dry. 984 00:59:48.920 --> 00:59:51.920 Fingers crossed right now, pretty confident that there won't be 985 00:59:52.000 --> 00:59:54.039 much rain at all. Hopefully that'll work out and that 986 00:59:54.079 --> 00:59:55.480 could last right on into Monday. 987 00:59:56.000 --> 00:59:58.079 Okay, well, yeah, I know if you can crap on 988 00:59:58.119 --> 01:00:01.559 the work week, nobody cares, man, So yeah, I agreat 989 01:00:01.599 --> 01:00:04.559 window a little window, so we'll see what happens. We'll 990 01:00:04.599 --> 01:00:09.159 talk in the next hour. Appreciate it all right, speaking 991 01:00:09.239 --> 01:00:13.480 of the you know, the DEI stuff for any of that, 992 01:00:14.360 --> 01:00:18.639 is it helpful what Trump said on Fox yesterday, well 993 01:00:18.760 --> 01:00:22.360 over the flag thing or could he have couched it 994 01:00:22.440 --> 01:00:26.519 into a specific scenario. I'll play the audio, we'll ask 995 01:00:26.559 --> 01:00:29.519 the question Pete Callander, he'll join us coming up at 996 01:00:29.519 --> 01:00:32.000 eight oh five. Lots to get to hang on. You know, 997 01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:34.199 here in North Carolina we got our own little angle 998 01:00:34.280 --> 01:00:37.039 with the unc frat bros. But if you watched in 999 01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:40.599 d C what happened in front of Union Station, it 1000 01:00:40.639 --> 01:00:47.000 is absolutely rage inducing. So Trump's on Fox, They're asking 1001 01:00:47.079 --> 01:00:50.480 him about flags, and I don't know if this is 1002 01:00:50.559 --> 01:00:54.119 the right answer. I feel like there's a better middle 1003 01:00:54.159 --> 01:00:55.840 ground here. But here's what he said. 1004 01:00:55.960 --> 01:00:59.239 He took the American flag down. They were riding Hamas 1005 01:00:59.280 --> 01:01:02.679 on the bell outside of Union Station. What does a 1006 01:01:02.840 --> 01:01:06.719 Donald Trump do if he takes office to these people 1007 01:01:06.760 --> 01:01:07.440 on the street. 1008 01:01:09.400 --> 01:01:12.280 Rarely have we seen anything like this. And I think 1009 01:01:12.320 --> 01:01:14.639 you should get a one year jail sentence if you 1010 01:01:14.719 --> 01:01:18.559 do anything to desecrate the American flag. Now people will say, oh, 1011 01:01:18.599 --> 01:01:22.920 it's unconstitutional. Those are stupid people. Those are stupid people 1012 01:01:22.960 --> 01:01:25.400 that say that we have to work in Congress to 1013 01:01:25.440 --> 01:01:27.840 get a one year jail sence when they're allowed to 1014 01:01:28.000 --> 01:01:31.199 stomp on the flag and put lighter fluid on the 1015 01:01:31.239 --> 01:01:34.159 flag and set it a fire. And when you're allowed 1016 01:01:34.199 --> 01:01:37.280 to do that, you get a one year jail sence 1017 01:01:37.280 --> 01:01:39.440 and you'll never see it again. And all over the 1018 01:01:39.480 --> 01:01:43.239 world Putin and President She of China, all over the world, 1019 01:01:43.239 --> 01:01:44.079 they're watching this. 1020 01:01:44.320 --> 01:01:45.119 Kim Jong mun. 1021 01:01:45.599 --> 01:01:47.639 He looks at us like we're a bunch of babies. 1022 01:01:47.920 --> 01:01:50.840 They see that that wouldn't happen in their countries. Would 1023 01:01:51.199 --> 01:01:54.880 it's impossible for that to happen in their country where 1024 01:01:54.920 --> 01:01:57.440 we have we look so bad to the world. That 1025 01:01:57.599 --> 01:02:00.280 was a disgraceful display yesterday. 1026 01:02:00.320 --> 01:02:00.760 All right. 1027 01:02:00.840 --> 01:02:04.320 And and when you listen to him, I think the 1028 01:02:04.400 --> 01:02:08.480 important clarifying point there is because they're painting it as 1029 01:02:08.519 --> 01:02:11.960 Trump thinks that if you go buy a flag and 1030 01:02:12.079 --> 01:02:14.159 you want to burn it in your yard, that you 1031 01:02:14.159 --> 01:02:17.519 should get a one year jail sentence. And I'm I 1032 01:02:17.639 --> 01:02:20.480 don't know that, I'm one hundred percent that's what he's saying. 1033 01:02:21.159 --> 01:02:23.320 But he needs to clarify. 1034 01:02:22.800 --> 01:02:26.599 It's not if it's not if it's not your flag, 1035 01:02:27.880 --> 01:02:30.119 it's the one in front of Union Station or it's 1036 01:02:30.159 --> 01:02:34.320 your neighbor's house or something like that. Then I'm all 1037 01:02:34.360 --> 01:02:38.079 for it, right, because now you've committed vandalism, you've committed arson. 1038 01:02:38.159 --> 01:02:42.400 We do have laws that are not enforced as much 1039 01:02:42.440 --> 01:02:45.920 as they should be. But I hope that he doesn't 1040 01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:48.599 believe that you shouldn't be able to burn a flag 1041 01:02:48.679 --> 01:02:51.280 that you own in your own yard. Ross. 1042 01:02:51.280 --> 01:02:54.199 How did you take it when you heard it? Because 1043 01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:56.119 every time I listen to it. 1044 01:02:56.119 --> 01:02:57.760 I'm like, yeah, no, I was thinking the same thing. Like, 1045 01:02:57.760 --> 01:02:59.360 if you go purchase your own flag, I mean, you 1046 01:02:59.360 --> 01:03:01.960 can burn it. It's despicable and awful. You shouldn't, but 1047 01:03:02.000 --> 01:03:03.760 you can do it if you want to. Right, if 1048 01:03:03.800 --> 01:03:05.320 you buy it, go down to Walmart, would ever buy 1049 01:03:05.320 --> 01:03:07.159 a flag? But if you go to like you know, 1050 01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:10.159 Union Station, if you take down that flag and burn it, 1051 01:03:10.199 --> 01:03:13.320 first off, that's arson, right, So that's the charge of arson. 1052 01:03:13.440 --> 01:03:15.679 And if you put up another nation's flag, I don't 1053 01:03:15.719 --> 01:03:18.159 think it's treason, But what would be like declaring an 1054 01:03:18.199 --> 01:03:19.440 act of war whatever. 1055 01:03:19.960 --> 01:03:25.480 Well, it'd be continued vandalism because you're misusing the flag 1056 01:03:25.480 --> 01:03:27.159 pole there. I don't know what it looks like, but 1057 01:03:27.920 --> 01:03:30.199 like they were very quick to go ahead and get 1058 01:03:30.239 --> 01:03:35.199 significant charges ready for people who peeled out on rainbow 1059 01:03:35.239 --> 01:03:40.119 crosswalks exactly. And the argument was that that is public property. 1060 01:03:40.199 --> 01:03:42.480 I mean, there are charges there that you can charge 1061 01:03:42.480 --> 01:03:44.280 them with. The issue is that we're not doing that, 1062 01:03:44.360 --> 01:03:46.239 and we when we do take them in, we instantly 1063 01:03:46.280 --> 01:03:46.880 release them. 1064 01:03:47.519 --> 01:03:50.480 So and I hope that's what Trump's indicating there. I'll 1065 01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:52.880 be interested to see if somebody attempts to clarify that 1066 01:03:52.960 --> 01:03:53.360 with him. 1067 01:03:53.400 --> 01:03:55.400 But you know, he said it before. 1068 01:03:56.079 --> 01:03:58.360 He may think that he may be of the opinion 1069 01:03:58.400 --> 01:04:04.000 that even you can't burn one you own, and I 1070 01:04:02.599 --> 01:04:06.199 I feel like that's not helping him. 1071 01:04:06.199 --> 01:04:08.320 All right, Jamal, I got two minutes, go right. 1072 01:04:08.159 --> 01:04:13.440 Ahead, Okaykse, I hope you're feeling better. Case what, it's 1073 01:04:13.480 --> 01:04:16.880 obvious what President Trump was saying yesterday, because when they 1074 01:04:16.960 --> 01:04:20.159 was burning in Palm Luton and trying to destroy statues, 1075 01:04:20.360 --> 01:04:23.239 he said the same thing. It's just a continuation. So 1076 01:04:23.280 --> 01:04:26.800 they're purposely doing this to try to say President Trump 1077 01:04:26.880 --> 01:04:28.800 is trying to be a fascist. Now to get to 1078 01:04:28.840 --> 01:04:33.199 the point, also, KC, we have to come a time 1079 01:04:33.239 --> 01:04:36.239 where people got to ask, what are these precious independence 1080 01:04:36.519 --> 01:04:40.320 that we keep hearing that when Republicans push back, Oh, 1081 01:04:40.519 --> 01:04:42.960 we're about to lose them. I'm one of those people 1082 01:04:42.960 --> 01:04:46.039 who say Willie brownside hick. I'm one of those people 1083 01:04:46.079 --> 01:04:48.880 who when I FoST on Twitter, I will say two 1084 01:04:49.000 --> 01:04:53.039 heels the arrow up and money for heels up Harris. Okay, 1085 01:04:53.119 --> 01:04:56.159 I'm one of those people. Now, if the Independent the 1086 01:04:56.320 --> 01:05:00.599 only way Independence will vote for a Republicans, if we 1087 01:05:00.719 --> 01:05:05.159 stand there and get abating, is that. If that's the 1088 01:05:05.199 --> 01:05:07.840 only way Independence will both of us, then we as 1089 01:05:07.960 --> 01:05:11.039 Republicans got to say, wow, is it really worth it? 1090 01:05:11.079 --> 01:05:15.360 Because the Democrats can lie. The Democrats can literally go 1091 01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:20.360 back in their same articles they say they don't get 1092 01:05:20.400 --> 01:05:23.199 hold of counter before you got one of the biggest cools. 1093 01:05:23.199 --> 01:05:26.719 It just happened. They took down a sitting president got 1094 01:05:26.760 --> 01:05:30.480 took down because they want to keep power. That doesn't 1095 01:05:30.519 --> 01:05:33.800 push the precious independence away. But if we call her 1096 01:05:34.239 --> 01:05:38.400 Willie Brown's side shit or we if we call her 1097 01:05:38.519 --> 01:05:41.920 that or we say something offensive, then oh, everybody's going 1098 01:05:42.000 --> 01:05:42.480 to lead us. 1099 01:05:43.280 --> 01:05:45.360 I feel like we're not going to pass up the 1100 01:05:45.400 --> 01:05:49.320 opportunity that we have on Fridays as we welcome in 1101 01:05:49.360 --> 01:05:52.400 our radio buddy from the South, Pete Calender Pete, how 1102 01:05:52.360 --> 01:05:53.119 are you doing this morning? 1103 01:05:53.119 --> 01:05:55.000 My voice sounds like crap, deal with it? 1104 01:05:56.320 --> 01:05:57.599 Okay, all right? 1105 01:05:57.679 --> 01:06:00.800 So which which it's? You know what it is? 1106 01:06:01.039 --> 01:06:04.840 And I try to honest, No, no, no, it's not 1107 01:06:04.920 --> 01:06:07.679 a medical thing. I try to be honest. I just 1108 01:06:07.800 --> 01:06:16.679 feel so mentally burned out, and because it's been NonStop 1109 01:06:16.840 --> 01:06:19.639 for what like three weeks now, and it's just every 1110 01:06:19.760 --> 01:06:22.400 day it's just one thing that's more and more insane. 1111 01:06:22.800 --> 01:06:25.320 And we'll talk about some of that insanity because I'm 1112 01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:28.480 curious to pick your brain because it's obviously been a 1113 01:06:28.519 --> 01:06:32.400 crazy week. But you've no doubt seen the two videos, 1114 01:06:32.440 --> 01:06:35.559 one where it's the before and after of the borders 1115 01:06:35.599 --> 01:06:38.480 are stuff right where it's literally the same show, the 1116 01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:42.920 same person, or the side by side of the Democrat 1117 01:06:43.000 --> 01:06:48.960 talking point card and the media literally reciting it verbatim, 1118 01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:52.599 which makes you want to punch your monitor more if 1119 01:06:52.639 --> 01:06:53.880 you had to choose. 1120 01:06:54.559 --> 01:06:58.079 Well, my monitor didn't do anything to me, So I 1121 01:06:58.119 --> 01:07:01.119 feel like I've never had the desire to just whip 1122 01:07:01.239 --> 01:07:06.239 up on an innocent bystander like that. So either that 1123 01:07:06.360 --> 01:07:09.039 or I just have remarkable self control or restraint. I'm 1124 01:07:09.079 --> 01:07:12.320 not sure, but I've actually never been really known for that, So. 1125 01:07:12.719 --> 01:07:16.119 That's not it, but so not literally punch your monitor, 1126 01:07:16.159 --> 01:07:16.719 but you know what. 1127 01:07:16.679 --> 01:07:18.960 I mean, right, punch a person. 1128 01:07:19.639 --> 01:07:23.760 A puppy or a kitten or whatever whatever your thing is, yeah. 1129 01:07:23.480 --> 01:07:28.440 Whatever nearby, right, So yeah, so it is. So I've 1130 01:07:28.440 --> 01:07:34.880 been acquainting people with the term retcon and you probably 1131 01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:39.280 know very well what that term means, retroactive continuity. It's where, uh, 1132 01:07:39.320 --> 01:07:42.280 you're like if you're watching a TV series and you 1133 01:07:42.400 --> 01:07:45.360 know the origin story of the main character because you've 1134 01:07:45.360 --> 01:07:47.800 been watching from the very first season. But now you're 1135 01:07:47.920 --> 01:07:50.480 six seasons deep and all of a sudden, you see 1136 01:07:50.519 --> 01:07:52.199 something where it's like, well, wait a minute, that doesn't 1137 01:07:52.199 --> 01:07:54.920 square with the origin story from the first season. There's 1138 01:07:54.920 --> 01:07:58.440 a conflict there that wasn't the main character's girlfriend's name 1139 01:07:58.559 --> 01:08:03.320 or whatever. That called ret conning when you change things 1140 01:08:03.519 --> 01:08:06.480 now to make the story make sense now, but it 1141 01:08:06.639 --> 01:08:09.840 requires you to change some of the original details. 1142 01:08:10.199 --> 01:08:13.320 And so basically everything Disney's been doing for years. 1143 01:08:13.480 --> 01:08:17.439 Okay, all right, exactly right, Well, and so that's what 1144 01:08:17.479 --> 01:08:21.359 we are all watching. And when you undertake this kind 1145 01:08:21.399 --> 01:08:27.039 of an operation in politics or in a debate about 1146 01:08:27.279 --> 01:08:31.840 philosophy or policy or whatever, it's a form of gaslighting. 1147 01:08:32.079 --> 01:08:34.640 That's what's going on right now, and that's why people 1148 01:08:34.760 --> 01:08:39.319 are discombobulated and frustrated. It is a form of psychological abuse. 1149 01:08:39.359 --> 01:08:42.039 And you've got media outlets that are participating in this 1150 01:08:42.159 --> 01:08:46.199 because the democracy. Right, they are trying to save the 1151 01:08:46.279 --> 01:08:50.880 democracy because Joe Biden, apparently for some reason quit We 1152 01:08:50.920 --> 01:08:53.840 don't know why, but he quit. He's not going to 1153 01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:57.720 save our democracy for us, even though as I understand it, 1154 01:08:58.199 --> 01:09:02.199 nobody did a better job at saving the democracy than 1155 01:09:02.279 --> 01:09:05.640 Joe Biden. So he's going to step aside to allow 1156 01:09:05.760 --> 01:09:08.920 somebody else to do it. The problem is that person 1157 01:09:09.600 --> 01:09:13.560 also did all of these awesome things that Joe Biden did, 1158 01:09:14.880 --> 01:09:18.920 and so is trying to get some separation from him 1159 01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:21.439 and all of the awesomeness that he was and did 1160 01:09:22.239 --> 01:09:24.199 and still is. By the way, he's not going anywhere, 1161 01:09:24.239 --> 01:09:26.840 Don't worry. He's still going to be doing all of 1162 01:09:26.880 --> 01:09:31.600 the awesome things, but no more after December, right, he's out, 1163 01:09:32.560 --> 01:09:34.920 not going to try to do more awesomeness for us, 1164 01:09:35.279 --> 01:09:38.880 And so now they're trying to create this distance between 1165 01:09:39.000 --> 01:09:42.720 him and Kamala Harris for some reason. Then the borders 1166 01:09:42.720 --> 01:09:44.960 are issue was one of them. But like the talked 1167 01:09:44.960 --> 01:09:47.800 to Noah Rothman from National Review yesterday and he makes 1168 01:09:48.239 --> 01:09:54.960 several very good points about this very media push, which 1169 01:09:55.039 --> 01:09:57.880 is that the reason she was assigned to do the 1170 01:09:57.960 --> 01:10:01.279 things she was assigned to do in the Biden administration 1171 01:10:01.520 --> 01:10:06.000 was precisely because they wanted to recap her. Right, all 1172 01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:08.880 of the issues that right that were so harmful to 1173 01:10:08.960 --> 01:10:13.960 Joe Biden's prospects they gave to her and people inside 1174 01:10:13.960 --> 01:10:16.039 her camp for years they've talked about this, you know, 1175 01:10:16.119 --> 01:10:19.880 off the record, leaking and anonymous sourcing and stuff, that 1176 01:10:19.920 --> 01:10:22.239 they were not happy that Joe was pushing off all 1177 01:10:22.279 --> 01:10:24.960 of these things on to her, which you could even 1178 01:10:25.079 --> 01:10:27.800 view his endorsement of her as sort of a kiss 1179 01:10:27.840 --> 01:10:31.119 of death as well. Right, that he fully endorses her, 1180 01:10:31.199 --> 01:10:34.079 but like the red conning going on right now is 1181 01:10:34.159 --> 01:10:36.359 very obvious for all to see. The borders Are thing 1182 01:10:36.439 --> 01:10:38.239 is just one example of it. But look, if she 1183 01:10:38.279 --> 01:10:40.720 doesn't want to be the borders are, doesn't like the term, whatever, 1184 01:10:41.199 --> 01:10:44.159 says she had nothing to do with the border, you know, 1185 01:10:44.239 --> 01:10:46.199 we'll find then that all that does is proved then 1186 01:10:46.239 --> 01:10:48.760 that Joe Biden put her in charge of something with 1187 01:10:48.800 --> 01:10:52.840 no real authority to do anything, but got touted as 1188 01:10:53.159 --> 01:10:55.520 the way to do something. And she's like, Oh, I'm 1189 01:10:55.520 --> 01:10:58.119 gonna address the root causes. And I could have told 1190 01:10:58.159 --> 01:11:00.640 her what the root cause of illegal immics is that 1191 01:11:00.840 --> 01:11:03.800 America is awesome. That's why everybody wants to come here. 1192 01:11:04.000 --> 01:11:04.960 That's a very good point. 1193 01:11:06.359 --> 01:11:11.319 The absurdity of the borders are thing. And then I 1194 01:11:11.640 --> 01:11:15.000 want to I want to try to figure out why 1195 01:11:15.079 --> 01:11:18.239 it seems so much more abrasive, and I have some 1196 01:11:18.399 --> 01:11:23.239 theories right now. But to fall on the sword as 1197 01:11:23.279 --> 01:11:25.600 the media is doing, they have to accept two things. 1198 01:11:25.640 --> 01:11:30.680 One they all got it wrong, and two they they 1199 01:11:31.000 --> 01:11:36.039 base their reporting off of Republican talking points, which would 1200 01:11:36.039 --> 01:11:41.199 be an absolute first right like a no planet will 1201 01:11:41.199 --> 01:11:46.199 they even in many cases correctly quote a Republican right. 1202 01:11:46.520 --> 01:11:48.920 So to say that they all got it wrong because 1203 01:11:48.960 --> 01:11:51.000 the Republicans told them and they took it at face 1204 01:11:51.119 --> 01:11:55.960 value is lunacy. But most people don't think that deep. 1205 01:11:56.479 --> 01:11:59.880 So does it feel so aggressive because of the shortened 1206 01:12:00.079 --> 01:12:03.479 time frame? Or and this is I guess the positive thought? 1207 01:12:04.159 --> 01:12:07.840 Is it because when things end up on Twitter like 1208 01:12:07.920 --> 01:12:11.800 these videos, no longer do they get shadow not banned, 1209 01:12:11.800 --> 01:12:13.399 but you know, put off to the side. Or in 1210 01:12:13.439 --> 01:12:17.239 some cases taken down. And does that vode for people 1211 01:12:17.319 --> 01:12:20.960 who are casual Twitter users who may plug in like 1212 01:12:21.039 --> 01:12:25.199 the week before they vote, of maybe stumbling across this stuff. 1213 01:12:26.760 --> 01:12:29.880 So the right, So I think part of it is 1214 01:12:29.960 --> 01:12:32.039 exactly what you just mentioned, is that it is the 1215 01:12:32.119 --> 01:12:35.600 compressed time frame where normally you would have more of 1216 01:12:35.640 --> 01:12:39.079 a landing pad, you know, a runway to uh to 1217 01:12:39.159 --> 01:12:43.560 start changing these kinds of narratives. But because Joe Biden 1218 01:12:43.640 --> 01:12:46.880 has abandoned us and won't give us more of the 1219 01:12:46.960 --> 01:12:49.800 awesomeness of his first term into a second term, we 1220 01:12:49.920 --> 01:12:55.199 have a much shortened landing strip, and that means they've 1221 01:12:55.199 --> 01:12:57.560 got to do rush jobs on all of this stuff 1222 01:12:57.560 --> 01:12:59.239 because you know, one of the things. Also keep in mind, 1223 01:12:59.279 --> 01:13:01.359 they're not allowed to any of the money yet because 1224 01:13:01.359 --> 01:13:05.159 she's not officially the nominee. So they've raised a lot 1225 01:13:05.159 --> 01:13:07.199 of money, and so what's happening now is the Republicans 1226 01:13:07.199 --> 01:13:10.319 are just pouring tens of millions of dollars into campaign 1227 01:13:10.399 --> 01:13:14.279 adds against her, trying to define her, just like Obama 1228 01:13:14.319 --> 01:13:18.319 did against Mitt Romney. Because their Republican convention was a 1229 01:13:18.359 --> 01:13:20.760 couple weeks after the Democrats won, and so they got 1230 01:13:20.800 --> 01:13:23.840 to unleash all of this money. So the Democrats are 1231 01:13:23.880 --> 01:13:26.439 kind of frozen in place for a couple of weeks. 1232 01:13:26.439 --> 01:13:29.319 Now that's going to change, obviously, and they'll catch up. 1233 01:13:29.359 --> 01:13:33.600 But if you are able to define Kamala Harris negatively 1234 01:13:33.760 --> 01:13:36.520 right now, and by the way, like you're already well 1235 01:13:36.520 --> 01:13:39.399 on your way to that definition because of her, you know, 1236 01:13:39.600 --> 01:13:41.720 just the nature of who she is in the campaign 1237 01:13:41.840 --> 01:13:44.000 she has run and the things she has said and done. 1238 01:13:44.560 --> 01:13:46.640 So you got the compressed timeline. The other I think 1239 01:13:46.800 --> 01:13:50.039 is correct that you've identified on Twitter where you're not 1240 01:13:50.079 --> 01:13:55.119 being throttled anymore. The content is not being restricted or restrained, 1241 01:13:55.840 --> 01:13:58.760 and things being elevated to the degree that they were 1242 01:13:59.079 --> 01:14:03.039 in the last sidels. But as far as most people 1243 01:14:03.159 --> 01:14:06.239 go that are not on Twitter, I don't know if 1244 01:14:06.239 --> 01:14:08.720 they'll ever see this stuff, right, And that's why you've 1245 01:14:08.720 --> 01:14:10.479 got to have You gotta have all these different prongs 1246 01:14:10.520 --> 01:14:12.800 into different areas. That's why they're all, you know, gushing 1247 01:14:12.840 --> 01:14:16.760 over the TikTok videos and the different songs and the 1248 01:14:16.800 --> 01:14:19.279 Hollywood actors and all that stuff. Right There's you got 1249 01:14:19.359 --> 01:14:21.640 to have all these different kind of entry points into 1250 01:14:21.680 --> 01:14:26.439 different media platforms. Now that being said, people say Twitter 1251 01:14:26.479 --> 01:14:28.520 is not real life, and that is true. However, I 1252 01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:31.880 would point out the President made his endorsement on Twitter 1253 01:14:32.159 --> 01:14:36.199 right the video, Like, so the idea that it's completely separate, 1254 01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:39.479 that's not true either. The people who shape the news 1255 01:14:39.840 --> 01:14:42.560 are on Twitter, and that's what we're seeing is like 1256 01:14:42.600 --> 01:14:45.359 the mockery and the ridicule of the media. People that 1257 01:14:45.399 --> 01:14:47.399 are engaging in the kind of thing that we're seeing, 1258 01:14:47.880 --> 01:14:51.319 that's where they're being mocked and ridiculed. Does that breakthrough? 1259 01:14:51.479 --> 01:14:55.319 Does that get through to the casual voter? Not sure? 1260 01:14:55.680 --> 01:14:58.479 But I just saw some polling that even Democrats by 1261 01:14:58.600 --> 01:15:01.840 like a super majority. I believe Kamala Harris knew about 1262 01:15:01.880 --> 01:15:05.920 Joe Biden's cognitive decline and didn't do anything, didn't say 1263 01:15:05.920 --> 01:15:09.000 anything about it. So that's like that whatever she does 1264 01:15:09.000 --> 01:15:12.119 and says from here on out, that does not go away. 1265 01:15:12.560 --> 01:15:14.880 It can't go sixty If it's the same poll we 1266 01:15:14.920 --> 01:15:18.159 talked about, I think it was sixty percent, but by proxy, 1267 01:15:18.239 --> 01:15:21.239 that means sixty percent of people have to believe that 1268 01:15:21.399 --> 01:15:24.680 Joe Biden shouldn't be president. Right, if you thought that 1269 01:15:24.920 --> 01:15:28.479 cognitive stuff was covered up, and like, where where do 1270 01:15:28.560 --> 01:15:31.239 we have do you think Republicans try to get him 1271 01:15:31.640 --> 01:15:34.439 ousted or are they comfortable with him serving it out 1272 01:15:34.720 --> 01:15:37.279 and just feasting upon her as candidate. 1273 01:15:38.880 --> 01:15:41.319 I mean, I'm for the good of the country. I 1274 01:15:41.319 --> 01:15:43.239 think he does need to step aside, but I don't 1275 01:15:43.239 --> 01:15:44.920 think he's going to and I don't think there's going 1276 01:15:44.960 --> 01:15:47.239 to be enough pressure on him from inside the Democratic 1277 01:15:47.279 --> 01:15:50.199 Party in the media. But I repeat myself to do 1278 01:15:50.319 --> 01:15:54.800 so only because they've already started with the hay geography, Right, 1279 01:15:54.840 --> 01:15:58.680 They've already started with the fainthood stories that you know, 1280 01:15:58.720 --> 01:16:01.720 he put the country above his own ambition and all 1281 01:16:01.760 --> 01:16:03.439 this other stuff. But of course now we find out 1282 01:16:03.479 --> 01:16:05.640 that the Democrat Party officials were the ones that pushed 1283 01:16:05.680 --> 01:16:08.279 him to do the debate early. They were the ones 1284 01:16:08.319 --> 01:16:12.159 that were threatening him with the twenty fifth Amendment removal process. Right, 1285 01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:15.880 So like this was and look, I'm not a conspiracy theorist. 1286 01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:19.560 I tend not to deal in like hyperbole when it 1287 01:16:19.600 --> 01:16:22.399 comes to this stuff. But this has all of the 1288 01:16:22.439 --> 01:16:28.600 hallmark definitional traits of a coup from inside the Democrat 1289 01:16:28.640 --> 01:16:32.600 Party leadership, and that needs to be reckoned with. 1290 01:16:33.840 --> 01:16:37.479 Yeah, but is that the party that reckons with it 1291 01:16:37.520 --> 01:16:41.119 if they have no look do you believe the Barack 1292 01:16:41.119 --> 01:16:45.359 Obama one of the Arizona senator and it's four dhs 1293 01:16:45.520 --> 01:16:50.560 and Biden by coming out and instantly getting behind Kamala 1294 01:16:50.600 --> 01:16:53.439 in niecapped the Obamas, which is why they only gave 1295 01:16:53.479 --> 01:16:57.000 their endorsement last week, because that's that's juicy stuff. But 1296 01:16:57.279 --> 01:17:02.000 ultimately it is conjecture. So how do you prove to 1297 01:17:02.039 --> 01:17:04.199 the extent that you can prove it without having to 1298 01:17:04.279 --> 01:17:06.520 prove the whole tale? 1299 01:17:07.000 --> 01:17:09.960 So the so I don't, well, are you asking me 1300 01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:12.359 to prove the Mark Kelly or the Obama fingerprints? 1301 01:17:12.359 --> 01:17:15.319 Because like, yeah, yeah, because that's that's how you're going 1302 01:17:15.399 --> 01:17:18.359 to hook people in, you know, simply saying that they 1303 01:17:18.399 --> 01:17:21.279 threatened with the twenty fifth Amendment that it becomes prove it, 1304 01:17:21.399 --> 01:17:24.199 prove it, explain if it prove it to me, And we. 1305 01:17:24.159 --> 01:17:27.359 Already have well, we already have. I mean, we have 1306 01:17:27.520 --> 01:17:31.960 media reports of you know, unnamed sources of course that 1307 01:17:32.159 --> 01:17:35.600 said that this was threatened of Joe. Now, if the 1308 01:17:35.600 --> 01:17:38.479 proof is going to come, it's going to come from Democrats. 1309 01:17:38.600 --> 01:17:40.680 It's not going to come from Republicans. And so you're 1310 01:17:40.720 --> 01:17:42.640 going to have to have people that are close to Biden. 1311 01:17:42.680 --> 01:17:44.479 And when you have inside the Democrat Party of these 1312 01:17:44.479 --> 01:17:46.920 different factions, one of which is the Obama wing, which 1313 01:17:46.960 --> 01:17:51.960 you'll recall completely obliterated the Clinton eastas in two thousand 1314 01:17:52.000 --> 01:17:55.239 and eight. Right, So, but the Clinton camp was then 1315 01:17:55.680 --> 01:17:59.520 wooed back in by Obama. They gave Clinton the Secretary 1316 01:17:59.560 --> 01:18:02.199 of State position, right with the idea that she was 1317 01:18:02.239 --> 01:18:04.399 going to run for president, and so the Democrats then 1318 01:18:04.439 --> 01:18:08.640 created that landing strip for her, and then of course 1319 01:18:08.680 --> 01:18:11.920 she lost. So that weekened the Clinton machine. And so 1320 01:18:12.159 --> 01:18:14.800 what you're seeing also is a fight inside the Democrat 1321 01:18:14.880 --> 01:18:18.399 establishment between the Obama wing, which is a far more 1322 01:18:18.439 --> 01:18:22.560 progressive wing, and the Clinton wing, which you'll recall they 1323 01:18:22.720 --> 01:18:25.720 tacked back to the center with Bill in order to 1324 01:18:25.800 --> 01:18:29.199 try to win after having been blown out by Reagan 1325 01:18:29.279 --> 01:18:31.439 and Bush for twenty years prior. 1326 01:18:32.319 --> 01:18:37.000 Okay, so the media reports though that are out there again. 1327 01:18:38.560 --> 01:18:40.920 That was a week long spat. You would agree the 1328 01:18:41.239 --> 01:18:43.680 media fought because they were getting thrown under the bus. 1329 01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:47.439 That seems to appealed. They kissed and made up. So 1330 01:18:47.920 --> 01:18:50.399 let's just say the New York Times in New York Post, 1331 01:18:50.439 --> 01:18:52.479 who was running most of this, don't just come out 1332 01:18:52.520 --> 01:18:54.680 and go, oh those anonymously, Yeah, those sources. Yeah, we 1333 01:18:54.720 --> 01:18:57.520 got some other ones. They said that never happened. So 1334 01:18:57.760 --> 01:18:59.399 I agree with you, it's going to have to come 1335 01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:02.479 from paulaeticians. All right, I got it here, I think, yeah, 1336 01:19:02.520 --> 01:19:03.159 real quick. 1337 01:19:03.520 --> 01:19:05.439 Real quick, I will say, here's the things here, here's 1338 01:19:05.439 --> 01:19:07.720 what we do know. Joe Biden's been in mental decline 1339 01:19:07.720 --> 01:19:10.760 for a while, right, and people around him obviously had 1340 01:19:10.760 --> 01:19:15.800 to have known it. Therefore, people around him protected him 1341 01:19:15.840 --> 01:19:19.479 and tried to shield him and his condition from us. 1342 01:19:19.760 --> 01:19:22.239 And then when he's saying I'm not dropping out, and 1343 01:19:22.279 --> 01:19:24.279 then a day later, I Am dropping out. 1344 01:19:24.600 --> 01:19:25.319 What changed? 1345 01:19:25.479 --> 01:19:28.960 They won't say. And now here he's endorsing Kamala Harris. 1346 01:19:29.399 --> 01:19:32.520 That to me has the hallmark that those are all 1347 01:19:32.560 --> 01:19:33.640 the hallmarks of a coup. 1348 01:19:34.479 --> 01:19:38.520 Okay, I'm with you. I firmly believe that you're correct. 1349 01:19:38.680 --> 01:19:41.520 It's just I'm so I'm so beat down on the 1350 01:19:41.520 --> 01:19:44.000 ability of them to prove it. And also then we 1351 01:19:44.119 --> 01:19:47.239 go about two and a half minutes, I'm beat down 1352 01:19:47.279 --> 01:19:51.159 on the Park Service and the Capitol Police actually doing 1353 01:19:51.199 --> 01:19:56.600 a DOJ style look at what transpired in our capital 1354 01:19:57.159 --> 01:20:00.239 this week. It was it was far worse what we 1355 01:20:00.279 --> 01:20:04.239 saw on UNC's campus. The amount of law enforcement assault 1356 01:20:04.880 --> 01:20:07.319 easily far out paces January sixth. 1357 01:20:07.319 --> 01:20:08.800 So where do you think this goes? 1358 01:20:11.119 --> 01:20:15.239 Nowhere? Yeah, I think probably nowhere. I think everybody's already 1359 01:20:15.239 --> 01:20:15.720 out of jail. 1360 01:20:16.000 --> 01:20:19.000 Everybody's already out right as of the next morning seven 1361 01:20:19.039 --> 01:20:20.319 am last was released. 1362 01:20:20.399 --> 01:20:23.199 Yes, yeah, so they're all yeah, they're all out, and 1363 01:20:24.039 --> 01:20:27.720 this is I mean, but so it gets very difficult 1364 01:20:27.720 --> 01:20:32.840 for me to deny the accusations from a lot of people, 1365 01:20:32.920 --> 01:20:35.600 or to try to dispute the accusations, I should say, 1366 01:20:35.600 --> 01:20:39.279 from people on the right that claim these types of 1367 01:20:39.359 --> 01:20:43.560 protesters are the foot soldiers and shock troops of the 1368 01:20:43.600 --> 01:20:48.239 Democrat Party and they are purposely allowed to run wild 1369 01:20:48.680 --> 01:20:52.000 in order to sow the chaos that then make people 1370 01:20:52.399 --> 01:20:56.159 for Democrats so they will stop the chaos. It gets 1371 01:20:56.239 --> 01:20:59.119 very difficult for me to try to dispute that accusation 1372 01:20:59.239 --> 01:21:01.600 when I keep being the same pattern over and over. 1373 01:21:01.680 --> 01:21:04.720 Yet, well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and yeah, 1374 01:21:04.479 --> 01:21:08.560 your tinfoil looks nice. First thing Trump's gotta do is 1375 01:21:08.600 --> 01:21:11.079 fire ray agree, disagree. 1376 01:21:10.720 --> 01:21:13.359 Yeah, definitely, Well yeah, our second or third, I mean, 1377 01:21:13.399 --> 01:21:14.640 I know there's gonna be a lot of first things. 1378 01:21:14.680 --> 01:21:16.079 He's got to do, but I would agree. 1379 01:21:15.880 --> 01:21:20.800 Yes, yeah, because I feel and we got thirty seconds left, 1380 01:21:20.840 --> 01:21:23.439 I feel that the narrative that Trump wasn't shot is 1381 01:21:23.520 --> 01:21:26.079 going to be the uh, the dude on the ridge 1382 01:21:26.479 --> 01:21:28.079 forever attack. 1383 01:21:28.159 --> 01:21:30.920 Oh yeah this yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, I called 1384 01:21:30.960 --> 01:21:35.039 him they cleaned. They were glass shards that hit him 1385 01:21:35.159 --> 01:21:38.399 or something from the telepumkers that were amazingly not damaged. 1386 01:21:38.439 --> 01:21:42.720 But I called them sharters like truthers. But they're shards. 1387 01:21:43.359 --> 01:21:45.680 Oh that's so close to a word. I really wish 1388 01:21:45.760 --> 01:21:51.159 it wasn't. But you know what what oh you know, 1389 01:21:51.239 --> 01:21:52.079 look at that. We got to go. 1390 01:21:52.199 --> 01:21:54.880 Oh that's that's too bad. So all right, thanks for 1391 01:21:54.880 --> 01:21:57.399 putting up with my voice in my sour mood. We'll 1392 01:21:57.399 --> 01:21:59.840 talk next week, sir. All buddy, feel better the weekend 1393 01:22:00.039 --> 01:22:00.760 and we'll be back. 1394 01:22:00.760 --> 01:22:01.079 Hang on. 1395 01:22:01.159 --> 01:22:03.199 I was just looking at all the strength of schedules 1396 01:22:03.199 --> 01:22:06.159 for the NFL stuff, because I hadn't really looked at 1397 01:22:06.199 --> 01:22:09.239 the Vikings total schedule, and I'm sorry, I don't think 1398 01:22:09.279 --> 01:22:11.039 we have a middle of the road schedule. We got 1399 01:22:11.079 --> 01:22:16.159 to play AFC West. Our own division is tough, but 1400 01:22:16.279 --> 01:22:19.079 they got us at sixteen. But then I scroll up 1401 01:22:19.159 --> 01:22:23.359 and Ross, how how is it possible. You guys get 1402 01:22:23.439 --> 01:22:28.479 screwed every year. You are fifth or sixth, depending on 1403 01:22:29.399 --> 01:22:31.520 the list that I look at for hardest schedule, and 1404 01:22:31.600 --> 01:22:35.399 you have by far the hardest in your division, which 1405 01:22:35.399 --> 01:22:37.680 should be opposite, right, And because it's. 1406 01:22:37.560 --> 01:22:39.119 Been that way in the last few years, I think 1407 01:22:39.159 --> 01:22:40.800 this year is actually easier than last year. 1408 01:22:41.279 --> 01:22:44.920 Yeah, yeah, because you guys are you guys are I'm 1409 01:22:44.960 --> 01:22:47.000 assuming you're the favor to win your. 1410 01:22:46.880 --> 01:22:49.000 Division right there? 1411 01:22:49.279 --> 01:22:49.479 Yeah? 1412 01:22:49.560 --> 01:22:51.439 I would think so, yeah, yeah. 1413 01:22:51.079 --> 01:22:55.760 So feasibly because your division opponents play roughly the same 1414 01:22:55.800 --> 01:22:59.520 schedule as you. How are you so far above everybody? 1415 01:22:59.560 --> 01:23:01.960 Patriots are like tenth? 1416 01:23:02.079 --> 01:23:04.319 Well that and then I mean the simple answer I 1417 01:23:04.319 --> 01:23:06.600 don't want to really get into, but the simple answer 1418 01:23:06.640 --> 01:23:11.199 is because the NFL is against the Bills. That'd be why, Yeah, 1419 01:23:11.760 --> 01:23:13.880 Chiefs or they have a middle of the road schedule. 1420 01:23:15.479 --> 01:23:18.600 I don't know, Man, Browns apparently have the hardest. I 1421 01:23:18.600 --> 01:23:22.800 would argue though, that the Browns always have the hardest 1422 01:23:22.840 --> 01:23:28.960 because they're not good. But yeah, there's Ravens, Steelers, Packers, Texans, 1423 01:23:29.000 --> 01:23:30.359 and Bills. 1424 01:23:30.840 --> 01:23:33.720 You know, right, their strength. The schedule has been really 1425 01:23:33.760 --> 01:23:36.840 tough to pass, like three four seasons. But I saw 1426 01:23:36.840 --> 01:23:39.399 a stat this morning that was I thought was impressive. 1427 01:23:39.439 --> 01:23:42.319 The Bills have gone over forty games or forty straight 1428 01:23:42.359 --> 01:23:44.880 now forty straight games not losing a game by more 1429 01:23:44.920 --> 01:23:49.720 than six points. Really, how forty games? I'm sorry? How 1430 01:23:49.760 --> 01:23:52.159 many forty game? Yeah, and that's the NFL record, tied 1431 01:23:52.199 --> 01:23:52.840 with the Packers. 1432 01:23:53.520 --> 01:23:57.159 Dude, half list and that is impressive. Dude. The Dolphins 1433 01:23:57.159 --> 01:24:01.439 got a cake they got a cake walk. What else 1434 01:24:01.560 --> 01:24:02.239 is in your division? 1435 01:24:02.319 --> 01:24:06.520 Yeah, don't happen in the Jets. Jets, that's right, don't 1436 01:24:06.560 --> 01:24:09.640 have a really you know, good first half of the 1437 01:24:09.680 --> 01:24:12.319 season the Dolphins because of the strength of their schedule, 1438 01:24:12.720 --> 01:24:14.399 and then they'll blow it out and lose it by 1439 01:24:14.399 --> 01:24:16.600 the end of the year. It's what happens every year. 1440 01:24:16.960 --> 01:24:18.600 Oh good, So what happened last year? Peop were like, oh, 1441 01:24:18.600 --> 01:24:20.199 they're amazing, They're gonna win the Super Bowl this year. 1442 01:24:20.199 --> 01:24:23.319 It's like, yeah, but look at their schedule, and every 1443 01:24:23.319 --> 01:24:25.039 time they would play tough team or a playoff team, 1444 01:24:25.079 --> 01:24:26.600 they would lose. It's what. They had a losing record 1445 01:24:26.600 --> 01:24:28.439 against playoff teams. 1446 01:24:28.479 --> 01:24:30.560 And you know, but the thing is too is you 1447 01:24:30.600 --> 01:24:32.239 look at you look at the strength of the schedule. 1448 01:24:32.279 --> 01:24:34.800 Because you can scroll back to twenty twenty threes, and 1449 01:24:34.920 --> 01:24:38.239 it seems to have had no bearing on how the 1450 01:24:38.239 --> 01:24:41.159 season ended. So take this stuff for what it's worth, 1451 01:24:41.600 --> 01:24:43.960 all right, I promised you a couple of things going 1452 01:24:44.000 --> 01:24:48.800 on at the Paris Olympics. One, they're just they're rounding 1453 01:24:48.960 --> 01:24:52.399 up migrants. They're just driving around in buses and just 1454 01:24:52.439 --> 01:24:57.520 snatching people off the street. The train service has been 1455 01:24:57.520 --> 01:25:02.520 imperiled after they have sat boutaged two sections of track. 1456 01:25:03.039 --> 01:25:06.640 People are in fact pooping in the river. So you know, 1457 01:25:06.760 --> 01:25:10.520 everyone getting pumped for the the opening ceremonies, which, by 1458 01:25:10.560 --> 01:25:14.119 the way, Lebron is the dude carrying it for us 1459 01:25:14.239 --> 01:25:17.199 in the final leg, really has even shot an arrow 1460 01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:17.840 before into it? 1461 01:25:17.840 --> 01:25:20.319 Really set it on fire? Has he done that before? 1462 01:25:20.439 --> 01:25:23.000 Oh? Is he having to do like a Viking funeral. 1463 01:25:22.600 --> 01:25:24.439 Thing that's gonna be like Barcelona ninety two. 1464 01:25:25.479 --> 01:25:29.479 Well, yeah, hopefully it didn't set himself on fire. If 1465 01:25:29.479 --> 01:25:34.199 he doesn't know what he's doing, I said, hopefully he 1466 01:25:34.239 --> 01:25:39.800 doesn't set himself on fire and embarrassed states occur. Okay, 1467 01:25:39.880 --> 01:25:44.760 completely making sure, making sure, but that is not the 1468 01:25:44.760 --> 01:25:48.840 funniest thing going on. So apparently, dude, you know what 1469 01:25:50.079 --> 01:25:57.880 this is? Firefest is Firefest. Right, it's they show up. Essentially, 1470 01:25:57.960 --> 01:26:02.039 they're in They're like an emerging see shelters, right, they 1471 01:26:02.159 --> 01:26:06.920 got crap beds. Uh No, actually Firefest had better mattresses. 1472 01:26:07.039 --> 01:26:09.279 I didn't realize something unce I was reading an article 1473 01:26:09.319 --> 01:26:13.399 about Firefest again, do you know what people were doing 1474 01:26:13.439 --> 01:26:15.960 so that they didn't have to share the limited shelters. 1475 01:26:16.520 --> 01:26:19.640 I guess dozens of people were running around and urinating 1476 01:26:19.680 --> 01:26:22.359 on the mattresses and then throwing them outside so nobody 1477 01:26:22.359 --> 01:26:26.000 could use them. So like it like people are horrible 1478 01:26:26.520 --> 01:26:29.920 in bad conditions to other people at the drop of 1479 01:26:30.039 --> 01:26:33.840 a hat. Man, it's it was a it's a there's 1480 01:26:33.880 --> 01:26:37.920 a crazy article because they literally are threatening to do 1481 01:26:38.000 --> 01:26:41.520 a firefest too, which I'm all for. I want. 1482 01:26:41.600 --> 01:26:43.960 I want to read tweets about people wanting to make 1483 01:26:44.000 --> 01:26:48.119 spears to stave off wild dogs, like I'm here for it. 1484 01:26:48.319 --> 01:26:51.199 But the Olympics is providing us a little glimpse into it. 1485 01:26:51.800 --> 01:26:55.039 So we've we've talked about the living conditions. Apparently the 1486 01:26:55.079 --> 01:27:01.920 food situation is already a disaster because remember they wanted 1487 01:27:01.960 --> 01:27:06.079 to moon back this thing up, and so they operated 1488 01:27:06.159 --> 01:27:10.520 under the assumption that rather than lean proteins such as 1489 01:27:10.720 --> 01:27:15.239 grilled chicken and eggs. What the folks, the world class 1490 01:27:15.279 --> 01:27:20.039 athletes really would want is fake meat. And believe it 1491 01:27:20.119 --> 01:27:23.199 or not, they don't want that. They want grilled chicken 1492 01:27:23.279 --> 01:27:25.720 and eggs, and they are they have run out of 1493 01:27:25.760 --> 01:27:28.840 it within just a couple of days and they're having 1494 01:27:28.880 --> 01:27:30.399 to like scurry to go ahead and get it. 1495 01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:32.680 You can't put these world class athletes on like a 1496 01:27:32.760 --> 01:27:34.479 vegan diet or the like fake meat. 1497 01:27:34.479 --> 01:27:39.359 Come on, who, I promise the person who made this 1498 01:27:39.439 --> 01:27:43.520 decision is not an athlete. I'm not even an athlete, 1499 01:27:43.520 --> 01:27:45.760 and I know that these dudes the amount of protein 1500 01:27:45.800 --> 01:27:47.680 that they eat, especially grilled chicken. 1501 01:27:47.760 --> 01:27:49.199 Dude, you want to go to the gym, workout for 1502 01:27:49.239 --> 01:27:50.840 three or four hours, or train all day, and then 1503 01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:53.439 you want like a califlower or something. Come on, get 1504 01:27:53.439 --> 01:27:53.800 out of here. 1505 01:27:54.439 --> 01:27:55.479 This is so bad. 1506 01:27:56.000 --> 01:27:57.880 I looked it up. Going back to your last point 1507 01:27:58.159 --> 01:28:02.039 real quick. You know that nineteen ninety two, after accidentally 1508 01:28:02.119 --> 01:28:06.600 setting himself on fire, Jordan scored fifty seven points. It's true. 1509 01:28:08.039 --> 01:28:09.720 And so if you want to be the goat, I 1510 01:28:09.760 --> 01:28:14.560 mean you got a Oh, dude, if they lose to 1511 01:28:14.800 --> 01:28:18.039 South Sudan or I don't know who they play anymore, 1512 01:28:19.319 --> 01:28:21.640 and he did, and he did set himself on fire. 1513 01:28:21.760 --> 01:28:23.840 They would use that as the excuse because remember he 1514 01:28:24.000 --> 01:28:26.039 was the hero for our one oh one to one 1515 01:28:26.119 --> 01:28:27.920 hundred victory over Solisterday and they. 1516 01:28:27.800 --> 01:28:31.359 Pulled it out last second. Yeah, so I meet yesterday. 1517 01:28:31.399 --> 01:28:33.439 It was like what three would you want the On 1518 01:28:33.520 --> 01:28:36.680 the top it was Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Lebron 1519 01:28:36.800 --> 01:28:39.439 James and on the bottom it was a bird magic 1520 01:28:39.479 --> 01:28:41.359 and Jordan. I'm like, this is the easiest decision I've 1521 01:28:41.399 --> 01:28:42.640 ever made in my entire life. 1522 01:28:44.199 --> 01:28:47.640 Going back to the Olympics, independent countries are now scrambling 1523 01:28:47.720 --> 01:28:52.479 to get their athletes grilled chicken and eggs after they 1524 01:28:52.560 --> 01:28:56.439 ran out within the first two days, including bringing in 1525 01:28:56.560 --> 01:28:59.079 packed meals back to the village for lunch, and then 1526 01:28:59.079 --> 01:29:02.760 are recording the time of London. They are completely out 1527 01:29:02.760 --> 01:29:05.960 of drilled chicken and eggs and the opening ceremonies haven't 1528 01:29:05.960 --> 01:29:12.279 started yet, but they are swimming in fake meat. And yes, 1529 01:29:12.760 --> 01:29:16.840 a decision to include a fifty percent allotment of plant 1530 01:29:17.000 --> 01:29:22.439 based options has proved problematic as the athletes simply aren't 1531 01:29:22.439 --> 01:29:26.800 eating it. Dude, how do you screw this up? You 1532 01:29:26.800 --> 01:29:31.279 know what you get everything you deserve. Uh And the 1533 01:29:31.399 --> 01:29:34.640 US has decided to send in their own chefs so 1534 01:29:34.760 --> 01:29:37.640 as not to use the catering. And they will do 1535 01:29:37.760 --> 01:29:40.279 now independent catering going forward because they're just not going 1536 01:29:40.359 --> 01:29:40.920 to deal with this. 1537 01:29:42.960 --> 01:29:44.199 That is wild man. 1538 01:29:45.159 --> 01:29:48.279 Who you gotta you gotta, you gotta name whoever this idea. 1539 01:29:48.319 --> 01:29:54.079 I'm sure it's the mayor that's for all these bright ideas. Whoever, 1540 01:29:54.119 --> 01:29:56.239 whoever the Mayor of Paris is not. I don't know 1541 01:29:56.279 --> 01:29:59.960 this Nitwitz name, but every one of these bad ideas 1542 01:30:00.039 --> 01:30:01.840 we've seen up to this point has had her name 1543 01:30:01.880 --> 01:30:04.479 on it, even the even the Hey, we're gonna we're 1544 01:30:04.479 --> 01:30:07.720 gonna swim in the uh uh in in the in 1545 01:30:07.800 --> 01:30:10.520 the in the river, and then they had to stop 1546 01:30:10.560 --> 01:30:13.399 it because all the protesters were gonna poop in there. 1547 01:30:15.039 --> 01:30:16.000 What a disaster. 1548 01:30:16.760 --> 01:30:18.479 All right, well, the opening So you know what, now, 1549 01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:20.640 I feel like I should watch the opening ceremonies.

Do you have any interest 1552 01:30:26.840 --> 01:30:29.239 in the Olympics because it's not going well? 1553 01:30:30.960 --> 01:30:31.680 Yes, I do. 1554 01:30:32.960 --> 01:30:35.119 I did watch women's soccer yesterday. 1555 01:30:35.680 --> 01:30:38.920 Okay, yeah, they've already got a cheating scandal there, I know. 1556 01:30:39.039 --> 01:30:42.079 Yeah, they got that going in Canadians. 1557 01:30:41.600 --> 01:30:44.199 Right, yeah, frying on New Zealand. 1558 01:30:44.279 --> 01:30:46.359 Yeah right, right, yeah, And I do it.

So no, Norman, somebody's gonna light 1569 01:31:12.720 --> 01:31:14.199 themselves on fire tonight. 1570 01:31:14.399 --> 01:31:14.920 It's happening. 1571 01:31:14.960 --> 01:31:15.680 As a matter of fact. 1572 01:31:15.680 --> 01:31:20.159 It just had some leftover pasta that'll But anyway, nothing, 1573 01:31:21.760 --> 01:31:23.600 nothing at all, You kidding me.

I'm down to the south some of 1583 01:31:47.359 --> 01:31:50.560 for southern counties. That's for heavier rainfall where it may 1584 01:31:50.560 --> 01:31:53.079 be low mid eighties today, that over the weekend we 1585 01:31:53.119 --> 01:31:55.399 should get some sunshine, temperatures in the low mid eighties, 1586 01:31:55.399 --> 01:31:57.760 could get into the upper eighties and the triangle on Sunday, 1587 01:31:58.199 --> 01:32:00.000 and then the wet weather starts coming back next week. 1588 01:32:00.119 --> 01:32:02.680 But right now looking pretty good for the weekend, let's hope, 1589 01:32:02.760 --> 01:32:04.960 as the showers should push down toward the south of 1590 01:32:05.039 --> 01:32:06.600 US with high pressure to the north. 1591 01:32:07.239 --> 01:32:09.920 Okay, all right, well, we'll see how you did and 1592 01:32:10.239 --> 01:32:13.840 check back Monday.

But they can't they like 1649 01:35:13.159 --> 01:35:15.680 bring in some big names for some of these video games. 1650 01:35:15.720 --> 01:35:18.640 Don't they that like that? Are you know, legitimate like 1651 01:35:18.680 --> 01:35:22.000 big Hollywood actors? But I got to think the majority 1652 01:35:22.039 --> 01:35:25.920 of them are just doing voiceover? Am I wrong on 1653 01:35:25.920 --> 01:35:29.119 this ross when they're developing video games? Or do they 1654 01:35:29.119 --> 01:35:32.239 have like actors come in and like the capture motion? 1655 01:35:32.479 --> 01:35:35.039 Yeah a lot of times now, like the people that 1656 01:35:35.119 --> 01:35:38.439 do the voice will actually do it depends on the 1657 01:35:38.439 --> 01:35:38.800 game and the. 1658 01:35:38.840 --> 01:35:43.119 Character, the little green suit thing the motion yeah right, yeah, okay, 1659 01:35:43.199 --> 01:35:43.800 all right. 1660 01:35:43.760 --> 01:35:45.039 Like when you look at the guy that did the 1661 01:35:45.119 --> 01:35:48.560 voice for Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption Too. He 1662 01:35:48.600 --> 01:35:51.119 looks like Arthur Morgan in the game like you're the 1663 01:35:51.319 --> 01:35:53.520 when your character starts, and he had to like do 1664 01:35:53.600 --> 01:35:55.239 all the motion caption and stuff like that. So it 1665 01:35:55.319 --> 01:35:57.119 really depends on who the actor is and who the 1666 01:35:57.199 --> 01:35:57.880 voice telling is. 1667 01:35:58.399 --> 01:36:01.720 Didn't some okay, so some chick it really mad because 1668 01:36:01.720 --> 01:36:04.279 she did the voice or she was the actor for 1669 01:36:04.399 --> 01:36:08.399 like a zombie dude and she was upset that she 1670 01:36:08.600 --> 01:36:10.119 looked like a zombie. 1671 01:36:10.119 --> 01:36:13.039 Because what they've started doing now is sometimes they're like, oh, well, 1672 01:36:13.079 --> 01:36:15.880 this person or this female is too attractive, and we 1673 01:36:15.920 --> 01:36:17.600 don't want to cater to a certain member of the 1674 01:36:17.960 --> 01:36:19.479 We don't want to make her just we don't want 1675 01:36:19.479 --> 01:36:22.279 to sexualize her, so we needed so we're gonna do 1676 01:36:22.279 --> 01:36:24.079 is We're gonna make it a little fugly and just 1677 01:36:24.199 --> 01:36:26.079 change her face a bit.

And it won't be Look if we get to. 1707 01:37:35.000 --> 01:37:37.840 Do a touchdown dance on China's face, I'm all here, 1708 01:37:37.880 --> 01:37:38.640 I'm here for it. 1709 01:37:39.399 --> 01:37:39.520 Uh. 1710 01:37:39.640 --> 01:37:42.720 But the lead up and everything has been going sideways 1711 01:37:42.960 --> 01:37:47.359 thus far, okay, and and screw the Olympic Committee. I 1712 01:37:47.359 --> 01:37:49.279 don't know if you saw this. So we got awarded 1713 01:37:49.319 --> 01:37:52.880 the Winter Olympics twenty thirty four. It's going to be 1714 01:37:52.880 --> 01:37:56.760 in Salt Lake two days ago, two days ago, and 1715 01:37:56.800 --> 01:38:01.119 now the internet. The Olympic Committee is threatening to withdraw 1716 01:38:01.159 --> 01:38:04.720 it unless we sign a contract saying that we will 1717 01:38:04.720 --> 01:38:08.119 not independently investigate through our DOJ or through our own 1718 01:38:08.159 --> 01:38:12.640 Olympic Committee doping allegations against China, which I don't know 1719 01:38:12.760 --> 01:38:16.039 if you know, is a big thing. So they want 1720 01:38:16.119 --> 01:38:21.119 us to sign away our ability to investigate independently China's 1721 01:38:21.560 --> 01:38:25.560 rampant cheating, which is a problem every year ever, I 1722 01:38:25.560 --> 01:38:29.159 guess every four years or every two years. That's the 1723 01:38:29.239 --> 01:38:31.600 amount of flex these people have. And they can't even 1724 01:38:31.600 --> 01:38:34.920 feed athletes right now. So yeah, on some of this stuff, 1725 01:38:34.960 --> 01:38:37.239 I'm going to be negative because there is corrupt as 1726 01:38:37.279 --> 01:38:41.640 FIFA probably more so, and we'll highlight it, but also 1727 01:38:42.399 --> 01:38:43.840 when we kick in other countries. 1728 01:38:43.920 --> 01:38:46.319 But we'll do the ro Bra
