Speaker 1: Mentally, I can tune out and then on Sunday around
Speaker 1: I don't know three ish mentally tune back on. Look,
Speaker 1: what we do is not a physical thing, right, It's
Speaker 1: not roofing, it's not welding, it's not hanging dry wall.
Speaker 1: It's not things that I have done in the past
Speaker 1: and things that many of you are literally on your
Speaker 1: way to do today. But you have to believe me
Speaker 1: when I tell you.
Speaker 2: When there are.
Speaker 1: Weeks because of the mental side of it where I
Speaker 1: feel like I am like it's it's bail and weak
Speaker 1: right back on the ranch where we're having to literally
Speaker 1: do our round bails, do our a pounders, do our
Speaker 1: standard toss bails, and it literally was the worst week
Speaker 1: of the year. And I have to tell you mentally,
Speaker 1: that's where I feel that I am right now. You
Speaker 1: can probably hear it in my voice, but that's its
Speaker 1: own thing. I mean, like my brain yesterday evening as
Speaker 1: I am laying down in bed at like seven thirty,
Speaker 1: felt like it was one of those weeks where I
Speaker 1: used to do fill in for Schnitch Show and there,
Speaker 1: you know, and I tried to just do a couple
Speaker 1: fill ins during the week, but sometimes it it required
Speaker 1: three or four and if it's a busy news cycle,
Speaker 1: that's how it was. I feel so physically mentally exhausted,
Speaker 1: which then you know is the physical exhaustion. And it's
Speaker 1: hard to explain to people because they're like, you talk, man,
Speaker 1: You just you go on the radio and you talk,
Speaker 1: and you know, even if they give you credit for
Speaker 1: the prep, it's it's not comparable to busting your ass
Speaker 1: ten days poor, you know, ten hours a day poor
Speaker 1: in concrete. And I agree from the physical side, but
Speaker 1: it's a mental job to do this job, and I
Speaker 1: feel absolutely beat up. Ross I have to sound like it.
Speaker 1: I know you as well, and you've got a hundred
Speaker 1: things going on, not just from a job perspective, but
Speaker 1: also with like some home stuff you're doing. I if
Speaker 1: something happens this weekend, I'm gonna lose my crap.
Speaker 2: I'm just putting everybody on.
Speaker 3: I was, you know, I was saying, I'm just looking
Speaker 3: forward to a nice, stress news free weekend that I
Speaker 3: would be amazing.
Speaker 1: I I I woke up this morning and like I'm unable.
Speaker 2: To and it'll fire up here in a little.
Speaker 1: Bit, because sometimes it's just having to do it, like
Speaker 1: I woke up this morning and I'm like, what is
Speaker 1: wrong with me?
Speaker 2: I know, I'm not sick. I just have hit my
Speaker 2: mental edge with this.
Speaker 1: And even though I, you know, I try to wind down,
Speaker 1: I intentionally didn't turn on any news. I I watched
Speaker 1: like weird documentary stuff that was as non controversial as
Speaker 1: you can get, just to mentally unplug.
Speaker 2: Now.
Speaker 1: Granted, there were a few things on the Twitter that
Speaker 1: I saw. We're gonna place some of the audio.
Speaker 4: For you.
Speaker 1: And I had, you know, and then you start to
Speaker 1: formulate thoughts and ways you're gonna to handle it. The
Speaker 1: the acquisition of Twitter every day by Elon Musk becomes
Speaker 1: more important and you'll you'll you'll see what I mean.
Speaker 1: And every single time I see something that I know
Speaker 1: would have fallen by the wayside, been been pulled right,
Speaker 1: been uh uh, shadow buried, shadow bands not the right word,
Speaker 1: but shadow buried where you wouldn't.
Speaker 2: Have seen it.
Speaker 1: That now permeates the you know, the the trending portion
Speaker 1: like these are all positive things and they get my
Speaker 1: brain going. But having to watch the like you know,
Speaker 1: yesterday we played the audio of the borders are right
Speaker 1: where you had the same reporters you you had the
Speaker 1: same outlets, you had the same shows with you know
Speaker 1: before and after who said, oh, she's borders are and
Speaker 1: then literally in the last few days said she was
Speaker 1: never borders are right, that'll hurt your brain. And then
Speaker 1: yesterday there was a note card, right, just a one
Speaker 1: sheeter with bullet points on it that was posted right,
Speaker 1: that was literally provided to Democrat politicians and apparently the
Speaker 1: media because.
Speaker 2: Immediately you saw the.
Speaker 1: Talking points thing, a memo, whatever you want to call it,
Speaker 1: put into action.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: And as much as you're trying to mentally unplug from this,
Speaker 1: it's absolutely infuriating, like have you know.
Speaker 2: And it's not a new thing.
Speaker 1: It's the it's the difference is this stuff ends up
Speaker 1: now featured on social media, at the very least on Twitter.
Speaker 2: And it's such a.
Speaker 1: Good thing because people who would dip in previously may
Speaker 1: not see it. They would see stuff and it wouldn't
Speaker 1: have community notes attached and and and they would feel
Speaker 1: researched on this stuff. And now it appears with community
Speaker 1: notes and the video showing this appear. And you're not
Speaker 1: going to change the mind of the hardcorees right who
Speaker 1: actively accept this stuff, But maybe the person who normally
Speaker 1: is you know, here for the sports or or here
Speaker 1: for what the Kardashians are up to.
Speaker 2: Maybe they'll see that stuff.
Speaker 1: And maybe the media will have to adjust the way
Speaker 1: that they do things. And then it gets my brain chugging. Yesterday,
Speaker 1: as I'm sitting there, like I'm gonna get eight hours
Speaker 1: and nine hours of sleep, I'm ecstatic, And yet I
Speaker 1: wake up feeling that I as I'm laying As I'm
Speaker 1: laying there last night trying to go to sleep and
Speaker 1: not pay attention to it, It's all I can think about.
Speaker 3: Like, how did it get so bad? How did it
Speaker 3: get so brazen?
Speaker 2: You have to.
Speaker 1: You have to read the thing or watch the video.
Speaker 1: We'll tweet it out. I tweeted it again. We'll retweet
Speaker 1: it so you can see it. And it's as brazen
Speaker 1: as you ever suspected it was.
Speaker 2: And I sit there and I go.
Speaker 1: With them, getting community notes and more people realizing like
Speaker 1: the the literal lies and hoaxes, right, it's anecdotal, and
Speaker 1: I see more of that stuff. Is a change on
Speaker 1: the horizon, And I thought it was, but I don't know. Man,
Speaker 1: we have a very short period. By the way, this
Speaker 1: right here, so you don't have to read the card?
Speaker 1: Is the media reading the car?
Speaker 5: She was never actually borders are borders are, which was
Speaker 5: not something that was formally conveyed upon her.
Speaker 6: She's been labeled incorrectly by some members of the right
Speaker 6: as this is bullet point by bullet point, and this
Speaker 6: is an MSNBC.
Speaker 2: Just MSNBC and CNN. It's like ABC News, CBS News.
Speaker 3: You know, like in the video on the left you
Speaker 3: can see the cards. The yeah, it's right there, and
Speaker 3: the rights. The news anchors just read, you know, you
Speaker 3: get the reading enough the prompter like they're like they're
Speaker 3: old the radio terms for us inside baseball, it's like
Speaker 3: you're an old top forty jock and you're reading the
Speaker 3: liner cards.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, we better you better read them. You better
Speaker 1: read them, right, the liner cards back in the day. Man,
Speaker 1: Your program directors like, why aren't you reading the liner cards?
Speaker 1: The difference was those are like contests and and and
Speaker 1: like things that you would never deny that you're trying
Speaker 1: to read. This is shaping uh in in almost verbatim terms,
Speaker 1: how they're presenting the story.
Speaker 2: It's jarring.
Speaker 3: Man. I think the reason that you're so tired, I
Speaker 3: think other people are feeling the same way is you're
Speaker 3: just inundated and over encumbered by this propaganda that is soulless.
Speaker 3: And we've had a really crazy few weeks where we
Speaker 3: went from an assassin assassination attempt on a former president
Speaker 3: to now making Kamala Harris like the second coming of
Speaker 3: Jesus or something like.
Speaker 2: Going on man.
Speaker 3: And I mean, there's so much of this, but you
Speaker 3: can see you we were talking about how Elon Musk
Speaker 3: bought Twitter and now you can sort of call this
Speaker 3: garbage out, whereas before you'd get even banned for mentioning
Speaker 3: that it might be fake. Compare what you're seeing on
Speaker 3: threads versus what you're seeing on X and it is
Speaker 3: night and day. And an example of this Mark Cuban
Speaker 3: even did you see the poll he put out He
Speaker 3: said which campaign has the has which which campaign is
Speaker 3: the low energy campaign? And he put the same poll
Speaker 3: up on threads in Twitter and saw two completely different answers.
Speaker 3: On X it was like, Kamala is the low energy
Speaker 3: by far it was like seventy two to something and
Speaker 3: then seventy two percent, and then on threads it was,
Speaker 3: you know, Trump is the low energy And he was
Speaker 3: like how come there's such a major difference here, And
Speaker 3: it's like, well, it's a lot of it is, and
Speaker 3: a lot of people that are on threads though right
Speaker 3: around these different versions of social media. They are like
Speaker 3: the political soft refugees that when Elon Musk bought they
Speaker 3: left because they couldn't stand another voice in. They couldn't stand.
Speaker 1: Being out of their echo chamber, right right, But you're
Speaker 1: not going to convert them. I'm not talking about you.
Speaker 1: I'm oh, yeah, one hundred percent. I'm talking about the
Speaker 1: people who normally don't dip in except in a very
Speaker 1: small window, and that's going to be the experiment this time.
Speaker 1: The people still have a Twitter account but use it
Speaker 1: mostly for sports, right yeah, you know, or yeah, a
Speaker 1: little bit of pop culture whatever. Inevitably, there is a
Speaker 1: better chance that they're going to see the borders are
Speaker 1: stuff with a community note, or perhaps with a suggestion
Speaker 1: that hey, here's a video of them literally reading a
Speaker 1: liner card and you you didn't run that risk because
Speaker 1: of the willingness to bury that stuff one election cycle ago.
Speaker 1: So that's the thing that keeps me hopeful, but that
Speaker 1: they'll stumble upon this and go, why the hell does
Speaker 1: why the hell are they reading this thing from the
Speaker 1: White House?
Speaker 6: Borders are Republicans named her?
Speaker 5: The borders are Republicans have always exaggerated what her job
Speaker 5: was at the border.
Speaker 1: Republicans again have labeled where the borders are.
Speaker 5: That's not exactly what President Biden asked her to do.
Speaker 5: She was never put in charge of the border.
Speaker 7: That wasn't actually her task, not to secure it, but
Speaker 7: to address the underlying roots of migration. She was charged
Speaker 7: with leading the administration's efforts to address the root causes
Speaker 7: of migration.
Speaker 3: The root causes of migration to the US.
Speaker 5: The root causes, root causes, Root causes are root causes,
Speaker 5: root causes of immigration.
Speaker 8: We also want to point out that right now, apprehension
Speaker 8: numbers continue to decrease in our country, especially over the
Speaker 8: last few months.
Speaker 7: And I just want to know that border crossings have
Speaker 7: been going.
Speaker 9: Down and illegal border crossings are lower right now.
Speaker 10: Migrant crossings continue to drop.
Speaker 3: Border crossings are way down.
Speaker 11: Border crossings are down.
Speaker 1: Okay, And I want you to watch the video and
Speaker 1: because it has the card next to it, and you
Speaker 1: know what, share it, do whatever you gotta do, and
Speaker 1: who knows, maybe now with the ability of community notes
Speaker 1: to attach. Right, those are visible. Those are usually very
Speaker 1: you know, within the first line, very understandable, and maybe
Speaker 1: maybe it shapes the way the media does stuff, but
Speaker 1: for now it is, it is how they've always done it,
Speaker 1: coupled with a much higher propensity for people to see
Speaker 1: that they're full of crap.
Speaker 3: This isn't. I think this is another reason you're feeling
Speaker 3: the way you're feeling because and I mentioned this a
Speaker 3: few days ago, for about a span of two weeks,
Speaker 3: we can have two weeks, we got a glimpse of
Speaker 3: what it would be like if the press was fair
Speaker 3: and balanced because they were going out after the Democrats
Speaker 3: for once, and we felt amazing about that this side
Speaker 3: because we were not used to that. We're so used
Speaker 3: to being attacked the way that Biden was being attacked, right,
Speaker 3: and we're like, this feels good, this feels different, this
Speaker 3: feels fair. And as soon as they kicked the old
Speaker 3: man out, as soon as they used that pressure, they
Speaker 3: went back, not only did they turn on a turn
Speaker 3: on a dime, but now it's like a full full
Speaker 3: court press with this propaganda.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 2: This it's not because you have a very short window.
Speaker 3: And out, yeah, right, exactly, So now you have this
Speaker 3: feeling that was amazing, like, oh my god, this is
Speaker 3: gonna be fair. We've never felt this before to going
Speaker 3: back to the way it was, and it feels and
Speaker 3: it feels like crap.
Speaker 1: I I don't I don't know what it is. I
Speaker 1: am so mentally burned out.
Speaker 3: I think that's what it is. And like I said,
Speaker 3: there's just so much of this propaganda and you can
Speaker 3: see it and it's it's just gross. Man.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I well, look we'll we'll bang through it. I'm
Speaker 1: gonna look, I'm gonna I'm gonna lean on you today. Okay,
Speaker 1: you can you can hear where I'm at. Eight eight
Speaker 1: eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 2: Do you think that it is?
Speaker 1: Do you think that it's right to be hopeful that
Speaker 1: more there is a higher probability that people who are
Speaker 1: not real political people, but you know, probably vote will
Speaker 1: we'll stumble upon at the very least something that will
Speaker 1: raise questions in their mind.
Speaker 3: I think we're in a lot better position than we're feeling.
Speaker 3: And I think the only reason we're feeling the way
Speaker 3: we're feeling right now is because that allude that the
Speaker 3: two weeks that fairness was taken away really quickly, and
Speaker 3: now we're back to where we are and we know
Speaker 3: what the we've seen in the past decade or so,
Speaker 3: right where we get when the when the media does
Speaker 3: this and we're used to feeling a certain way, Now
Speaker 3: we're back to that. I don't know.
Speaker 1: I sat there and I think you're right. I hope
Speaker 1: that you're right. An assassination attempt by a miracle from God,
Speaker 1: or or he didn't or he didn't get hit by
Speaker 1: a bullet. As you'll I'm to find out is the
Speaker 1: reporting by newsweek. And and by the way, as I'm
Speaker 1: laying there, as I'm sitting there last night for three
Speaker 1: four five hours, not able to fall asleep, these are
Speaker 1: all the things that I'm processing, and I feel like
Speaker 1: that's going to be a big thing. I'll explain in
Speaker 1: a moment. Hang on, I am, I am so, I
Speaker 1: am so like mentally stretched after this week, last week, everything.
Speaker 1: So if if things are a little slower today, if
Speaker 1: I deviate off of the red meat news you want
Speaker 1: to hear it is just to keep my sanity. I
Speaker 1: got some I got some chicken wing news that we're
Speaker 1: going to get into. Don't worry, we'll do the stories
Speaker 1: of the day, and we'll touch on the on the
Speaker 1: you know, the way that the media is continuing to
Speaker 1: do things the way that they have done them in
Speaker 1: the past. Yet I'm seeing cracks in the facade, and
Speaker 1: that's going to be a theme.
Speaker 12: And I.
Speaker 1: Lay awake last night three four five. I don't even
Speaker 1: know what time I fell asleep. And that's you know,
Speaker 1: that's something I do on the regular when I'm putting
Speaker 1: prep together. After I send it off to Ross, generally
Speaker 1: my brain is still like, all right, I sent the
Speaker 1: stories over, here's how we're going to do it. And
Speaker 1: it's just everything's just been so insane. So even though
Speaker 1: what we do is not physical, you're you're getting a
Speaker 1: glimpse into the mental pounding that putting a show together takes.
Speaker 1: I would challenge anyone to sit down and do stream
Speaker 1: of consciousness for three hours.
Speaker 2: It's it's not easy.
Speaker 3: I saw something this morning that might give you some hope.
Speaker 2: It's not all. Here's the thing. It's not that I
Speaker 2: don't have hope.
Speaker 1: It's that I literally, I I literally can't sit and
Speaker 1: and and try to and and and the weekend.
Speaker 2: The weekend will cure this.
Speaker 1: Even if something happens I can't sit and try to
Speaker 1: think out all of the reasons and the players and
Speaker 1: and the motivations because everybody is being so scummy.
Speaker 3: Right yeah, no, I mean there's the reason that like
Speaker 3: world chess champions will tend to go absolutely insane, right
Speaker 3: because like your brain can only take so much before
Speaker 3: it melts down.
Speaker 1: Well wait, let's not go there, not quite yet. Like
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not going on a shooting spree or anything.
Speaker 1: But I'm sorry, what were you saying you saw something?
Speaker 3: Yeah, so Dane Cook? Did you see the Dane Cook news?
Speaker 3: I haven't thought about Dane Cooking forever. Please fill me in.
Speaker 3: Dane Cook, I guess has been hanging out. He's still
Speaker 3: doing his Dane Cook thing, not nearly as you know,
Speaker 3: popular as he used to be, or is you know, Hi,
Speaker 3: remember when Dan Cook was like.
Speaker 2: Oh he had a moment for sure, yea, Like.
Speaker 3: He was selling out like Madison Square Garden and stuff.
Speaker 3: So he went on TikTok. And he is not a
Speaker 3: political person at all in public, Like he is not
Speaker 3: one of.
Speaker 2: The h Admittedly I don't even know how he.
Speaker 3: Feels, right, and that's purposefully done. But he went on
Speaker 3: and he put up a poll in his TikTok and
Speaker 3: he just said he wasn't going to attack people. It
Speaker 3: wasn't to debate. He just wants to know where people's
Speaker 3: heads are at in this country after the past few weeks,
Speaker 3: because he was feeling a little tired and a little
Speaker 3: weirded out as well, and he's wanted to, you know,
Speaker 3: know where people were at. The reason that you really
Speaker 3: want to pay more attention to his poll than say,
Speaker 3: other people's polls is because, like I said, he's not political,
Speaker 3: and his algorithm isn't isn't skewed like other people. For instance,
Speaker 3: if kat Turd puts out a pole, it's going to
Speaker 3: be skewed one way because his algorithm is one way.
Speaker 3: Or if Mark Cuban or even if he saw one of.
Speaker 2: The Krastin idiots had a poll this morning and I
Speaker 2: just I'm.
Speaker 3: Just yeah, or the right or the cras and steeds,
Speaker 3: so their stuff is going to be leading significantly in
Speaker 3: one way or the other because of who they are.
Speaker 3: But also it's because of the people that you bring in,
Speaker 3: like what you see on your timeline, depending if you're
Speaker 3: on threads or you're on even Facebook or or x
Speaker 3: right or TikTok. The content you're going to see and
Speaker 3: the people that are going to be drawn to you
Speaker 3: are drawn to you because of an algorithm. So if
Speaker 3: you're super political, those people are going to see you
Speaker 3: and probably follow you, and then it skews even worse
Speaker 3: in one direction, where he is not that way. So
Speaker 3: it's really a good clean slate, right because he has
Speaker 3: he's not political at all, so the people just people aren't.
Speaker 3: So he puts out a poll and when you read
Speaker 3: the comments there and when you see the results of
Speaker 3: the poll knowing that it's it's not skewed in one
Speaker 3: way in this algorithm free in that respect, it's really
Speaker 3: eye opening. The Trump Trump won his poll. It's the thing.
Speaker 3: It's still going on by like over ninety percent. And
Speaker 3: when you read the comments, it's all people expressing sort
Speaker 3: of what you're expressing and just being like they can't
Speaker 3: take any more of the left. Like when you read
Speaker 3: the comments, you would think that he was a cat
Speaker 3: turd or somebody like that, or somebody you know, like
Speaker 3: a like a right wing influencer, and he is not.
Speaker 3: It's just people expressing their theirselves in the comments knowing
Speaker 3: that they're not going to be attacked, and he's not
Speaker 3: going to try to debate them or put them in
Speaker 3: the spotlight and try to shame them. It's just him
Speaker 3: having a conversation, like you tell me how you feel
Speaker 3: right in the comments, I'm gonna read it. I'm not
Speaker 3: gonna debate you. So you have people freely expressing themselves
Speaker 3: in the comments, and what they're expressing is that they're
Speaker 3: over it, They're over Kamala, and they're not believing any
Speaker 3: of the hype.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, and we didn't see a situation where
Speaker 1: somebody saw the poll and then tried to jacket right right.
Speaker 3: As far as I know, it hasn't been flipped in
Speaker 3: any ways. It's the first time I've seen it today.
Speaker 2: Well good, oh wait, hold on, Austin pauls him an email.
Speaker 2: I can just imagine a suck it. I'm trying, dude.
Speaker 1: And and by the way, I'm not telling you this too,
Speaker 1: so you feel bad. I'm I'm telling you because I
Speaker 1: don't like giving you a show that's not maximum effort. Okay,
Speaker 1: that's it. My voice makes it sound worse than it is.
Speaker 1: It's just my voice has burned out from the end
Speaker 1: of the week. So it it but I like sitting
Speaker 1: there and being able to process and talk out where
Speaker 1: I'm going to go was near impossible yesterday and it's
Speaker 1: I'm almost.
Speaker 2: Never dealt with that.
Speaker 1: So I am, I'm I'm being honest with you, And
Speaker 1: like I said, we got chicken wing news, so my
Speaker 1: whole mood may turn around.
Speaker 3: In fact, you want to know the chicken wing news. Ross,
Speaker 3: do you know the chicken wing news? I do, yes, Okay, you.
Speaker 1: Probably have chicken wing keyword emails, so that's a little unfair.
Speaker 1: This could go to the Supreme Court. Can boneless wings
Speaker 1: include bones? I know this sounds like a stupid topic,
Speaker 1: but the Ohio the Ohio Supreme Court just weighed in
Speaker 1: on this yesterday and they have fundamentally redefined what I
Speaker 1: guess the term boneless means. And because of the fact
Speaker 1: that they're split, and because of the fact that in
Speaker 1: another region of the country there is literally a similar
Speaker 1: lawsuit going if that lawsuit comes out at that I
Speaker 1: don't know what Ohio is Ohio seventh District, I can't remember,
Speaker 1: but you know, let's say that and the other ones
Speaker 1: in California. So if California and Ohio have split decisions,
Speaker 1: feasibly the Supreme Court could take up whether boneless wings
Speaker 1: need to legally be free of bones.
Speaker 2: And it's not just that.
Speaker 1: If you read the decision, which is rather amusing, they
Speaker 1: point out that diners who know they're eating chicken should
Speaker 1: know that there's a possibility of bones, and then they
Speaker 1: get into why nuggets are not a thing. Let's see here,
Speaker 1: boneless wings, according to the Ohio Supreme Court, refers to
Speaker 1: a cooking style and consumers have a duty to be
Speaker 1: on guard against bones. Basically, a dude was eating boneless wings,
Speaker 1: he swallowed a low piece of bone, got an infection,
Speaker 1: got seriously injured and sick because he, in typical dude fashion,
Speaker 1: is like, now, just drink some water, it'll be fine.
Speaker 1: By the time he went to the hospital, it required surgery.
Speaker 1: So he filed the lawsuit. According to the decision, just
Speaker 1: as a person eating chicken fingers would know that chickens
Speaker 1: don't have fingers.
Speaker 2: I have a fun I have a fun story. I'll
Speaker 2: try to do on on this on the.
Speaker 1: Chicken fingers thing, because I met a I met somebody
Speaker 1: who thought that.
Speaker 2: Chicken had fingers, and she was a grown adult.
Speaker 13: She's not.
Speaker 2: She's not listening. So I'll tell you she's not the.
Speaker 1: Sharpest tool in the shed, somebody I grew up with
Speaker 1: and she ended up getting a nickname over it. But
Speaker 1: just as chicken tenders, chicken nuggets, and chicken fingers are
Speaker 1: not actually a part of the chicken that is identifiable
Speaker 1: from an anatomical standpoint, the word boneless falls within that,
Speaker 1: and you eat boneless wings at your own caution. And
Speaker 1: the fact that the Supreme Court, who literally has provided
Speaker 1: some of the most important decisions over the last few
Speaker 1: years that many of us will likely see in our
Speaker 1: life lifetime. I love the idea of Roberts and the
Speaker 1: wise Latina and Gorsicch and all of them sitting down
Speaker 1: to adjudicate whether boneless wings and frankly, this is part
Speaker 1: of a larger labeling of food. And when you look
Speaker 1: at it from that perspective, there's a ton of crap that.
Speaker 2: We eat that are not actual literal names.
Speaker 1: And I apparently we're at a point where half the justices,
Speaker 1: or I guess just less than one of half the
Speaker 1: justices on the Ohio Supreme Court think that anything that
Speaker 1: is labeled and is not anatomically correct requires changing of
Speaker 1: the names it would be very impactful. Let's see here,
Speaker 1: does anyone really believe that parents in this country feed
Speaker 1: their kids boneless wings or chicken? Oh, of course you're
Speaker 1: going to reload the page right now. Don't even try
Speaker 1: me today Fox News This is on Fox news is
Speaker 1: or Fox Businesses website. Yes, just as parents in this country,
Speaker 1: if either children boneless chicken wings or chicken tenders or nuggets,
Speaker 1: might expect that there to be bones in the chicken.
Speaker 1: Of course they don't, said Justice Michael Donnelly, who wrote
Speaker 1: in The Descent. So he and three of his cohorts
Speaker 1: were the it was close. It was five to four.
Speaker 1: So there you go. Just know that chicken wing chicken
Speaker 1: wing cases may make their way to the US Supreme Court.
Speaker 1: All right, unfortunately, all right, well hang on, Oh by
Speaker 1: the way, we're on the ap thing. In fact, let
Speaker 1: me let me do this. The Associated Press has withdrawn
Speaker 1: a fact check. And if you're if you're not fully
Speaker 1: plugged in, you may have seen people cracking jokes about
Speaker 1: the fact check. But I want to explain to you
Speaker 1: why this is really important, and it has to do
Speaker 1: with Jade Vance and a couch. I know some of
Speaker 1: you didn't think I'd do this story. But now that
Speaker 1: Associated Press has literally weighed in and then chosen to
Speaker 1: remove them weighing in, it's just one more layer of
Speaker 1: the bias that we don't talk about.
Speaker 11: Right.
Speaker 2: It's easy to read a story and go, that's wrong,
Speaker 2: that's wrong.
Speaker 13: She was.
Speaker 1: Borders are, but what they choose to cover and what
Speaker 1: they don't choose to cover, and especially as it pertains
Speaker 1: to fact checks, is a big deal.
Speaker 2: And to the.
Speaker 1: Point where Associated Press is apologized Orsi excuse me, issued
Speaker 1: a clarification. Well, it sounds like an apology the morning.
Speaker 14: Casey, Yes, sir, I'd like to bring you your attention.
Speaker 14: Another discrepancy between the chicken and the fast food industry
Speaker 14: is the tenderloins tender oin tammus, or sometimes referred to
Speaker 14: as chicken tenders. And I'd like to point out that chicken.
Speaker 14: There's no tenderloin on the chicken.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, and and they again, they they spoke to this.
Speaker 1: I just I find something incredibly amusing that the US
Speaker 1: Supreme Court could be adjudicating this.
Speaker 14: Absolutely it seems fact they would have better things.
Speaker 2: Well one one would think.
Speaker 1: But if you get and thanks for the call there, surf,
Speaker 1: you get a couple lawsuits going back and forth. They've
Speaker 1: they've adjudicated stranger stuff, but it speaks to a bigger
Speaker 1: issue of food labeling, and that's, you know, that is
Speaker 1: really the challenge. It just stems from somebody eating boneless wings, which,
Speaker 1: by the way, why would you do that? Can eat
Speaker 1: wings man up right, And it's one thing if you're
Speaker 1: you know, you're giving it to a kid, but in
Speaker 1: this case, it's a grown adult who opted for the
Speaker 1: garlic parmesan boneless wings. You know, I'll say this as
Speaker 1: as somebody who likes to travel eating chicken in other countries,
Speaker 1: you assume there's gonna be bones in there. It's really weird.
Speaker 1: They don't do the same level of.
Speaker 2: De boning.
Speaker 1: Like if you get a boneless chicken breast and you
Speaker 1: order that in a restaurant, especially in Latin America, I've
Speaker 1: noticed there's probably bones in there, and so the first
Speaker 1: few times you eat it, even if they say it's boneless,
Speaker 1: you should be on the lookout for bones. So it's
Speaker 1: it is a privilege in the United States too, I
Speaker 1: guess generally assume there's not bones in there. But it's
Speaker 1: also a labeling thing, and no in California. They'll probably
Speaker 1: come down on the other side of this, all right.
Speaker 1: So the Associated Press thing is weird, man. So the
Speaker 1: associated and language is so important with these The Associated
Speaker 1: Press has removed a fact check that they published on
Speaker 1: They published it Wednesday night. They published it Wednesday, but
Speaker 1: they removed it yesterday evening, okay, and the fact check
Speaker 1: is this was the headline. No jd Vance did not
Speaker 1: have sex with the couch. I saw jokes. I didn't
Speaker 1: fully understand what it was until I dug into this
Speaker 1: just day, and I'm sorry I did, but it speaks
Speaker 1: to something important. One story selection, two wording within a story,
Speaker 1: and you'll understand the difference after I explain it. So
Speaker 1: the Associated Press, it did an official check, published it Wednesday. Again,
Speaker 1: that's the headline, and you're thinking, well, how the why
Speaker 1: the hell are we here, because there was there were two.
Speaker 2: Memes going around.
Speaker 1: That in his book, which now every reviewer hates quite
Speaker 1: in his dreadful novel is literally how it's worded, right,
Speaker 1: everyone who loved it, all of these these mainstream reviewers
Speaker 1: who loved the movie, loved the book, now hate it
Speaker 1: because he's the you know, VP nominee said that in
Speaker 1: the novel, he talks about hooking up with a couch,
Speaker 1: except he doesn't. It's not in there anywhere, was never
Speaker 1: part of the book let alone. The movie, well, the
Speaker 1: Olympics with literally the opening ceremonies, just what hours away,
Speaker 1: that's going, well, we have.
Speaker 2: We have actual sabotage.
Speaker 1: I just want to be clear before I say what
Speaker 1: it is, because I'm just digesting this story literally right now.
Speaker 1: Good morning our number two. I I'm not gonna make
Speaker 1: a thing of it, but I will tell you what
Speaker 1: I told you at the beginning of the show. You
Speaker 1: have to understand the process for doing the show. So
Speaker 1: when I pull together stories in the evening, I sent
Speaker 1: them over to Ross. We put them in a stack.
Speaker 1: But they're literally for reference. They're for audio cuts we're
Speaker 1: gonna play. They're for numbers that I may need access to.
Speaker 1: But I I don't use notes. I literally read and
Speaker 1: commit to memory the vast majority of what's in the stories.
Speaker 1: And I'm not telling you this to brag, but like,
Speaker 1: it's a way of doing talk radio that requires you
Speaker 1: to have mental acuity and bounce around. And I got
Speaker 1: to tell you it started to set in last night
Speaker 1: and I woke up this morning, and I am mentally burned,
Speaker 1: and I think a lot.
Speaker 2: Of you are as well.
Speaker 1: Like being able to bounce around and even remember stuff
Speaker 1: that I put in the stack yesterday is at a
Speaker 1: bare minimum right now. So and I and I'm telling
Speaker 1: you not to have you feel bad for me. One,
Speaker 1: I think a lot of you can mentally relate. But two,
Speaker 1: I want you to know why the show sounds rough today.
Speaker 1: And what we've seen over the last few weeks is wild.
Speaker 2: Man, you know.
Speaker 1: Uh And and obviously Trump nearly getting assassinated was the
Speaker 1: was the kickoff, it was the impetus, but.
Speaker 2: Then Biden's out.
Speaker 1: The absolute laid bare bias of the media that you're
Speaker 1: seeing right now is mind boggling. What took place in Washington,
Speaker 1: d C. Which we have some updates from Capitol Police
Speaker 1: as to why they were very minimal arrests.
Speaker 2: And and you know, will that be the end of it?
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe they basically said we did that, we didn't
Speaker 1: have the staffing to conduct the full scale arrests, and they're.
Speaker 2: Probably not wrong.
Speaker 1: And you can call it defund the police and everything,
Speaker 1: you know, whatever gets you there. But it's another one
Speaker 1: of these situations where you're sitting there and you're realizing
Speaker 1: that the full court press from the DOJ that you
Speaker 1: saw for over January sixth, stuff just isn't going to materialize.
Speaker 1: And it's it, and it's it's meant to beat you down.
Speaker 1: And don't worry. I'll I'll get, I'll get, you know,
Speaker 1: fingers crossed at least one day to mentally disconnect over
Speaker 1: the weekend, and we'll be back champion at the bid
Speaker 1: on Monday.
Speaker 2: But it it, it all has an impact.
Speaker 1: And I want you to know that if you're feeling
Speaker 1: that way, I appreciate you, you know, sticking with sticking
Speaker 1: with us and and you know, going on Twitter and
Speaker 1: there's there's.
Speaker 2: Hopeful signs there.
Speaker 11: Man.
Speaker 1: I I I mentioned it yesterday as I was just
Speaker 1: sitting there staring off into the void after I had
Speaker 1: sent prep. I don't know, I don't know what it
Speaker 1: would it would have looked like, and what this this
Speaker 1: shortened election would look like if not for Elon's acquisition
Speaker 1: of Twitter. Man, Because the amount of garbage that they
Speaker 1: are shoveling right now. The TV station in Minneapolis WCCO
Speaker 1: is like wr L right, they're the really in the
Speaker 1: bag bias station In fact, we used to call them
Speaker 1: on the radio. In Minneapolis, we call them WDFL. And
Speaker 1: the reason of the reason is is because in Minnesota,
Speaker 1: the Democrat Party is actually called the DFL party. See
Speaker 1: it's the only place I've ever worked where they're not
Speaker 1: the Democrats, They're the DFL, which stands for Democrat, Farm
Speaker 1: and Labor. So it fits very nicely when wanting to
Speaker 1: label a TV station. They had the audacity to sit
Speaker 1: there and run with their anchor yesterday that Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: never participated or supported the bail fund. Well, obviously it
Speaker 1: happened to Minnesota. There's tweets from her, and there is
Speaker 1: video of her being interviewed by the TV station throwing
Speaker 1: her support behind it. And then you couple that with
Speaker 1: the she was never borders are a single page memo
Speaker 1: thing that came out on telling elected Democrats how to
Speaker 1: talk about it, how to lie about it. I guess
Speaker 1: it would be more accurate. And then you realize as
Speaker 1: you're watching the reporting yesterday evening that the media is
Speaker 1: literally reading from it. Here is point by point, so
Speaker 1: I don't have to explain what was on this index card.
Speaker 1: It's the media using it. And in many cases with
Speaker 1: verbatim language.
Speaker 5: She was never actually borders are, borders are, which was.
Speaker 3: Not something that was formally conveyed upon her.
Speaker 6: She's been labeled incorrectly by some members of the right
Speaker 6: as the borders are.
Speaker 5: Republicans named her the borders are.
Speaker 3: Republicans have always exaggerated what her job was at the border.
Speaker 3: Republicans again have labeled her the borders are.
Speaker 8: That's not exactly what President Biden asked her to do.
Speaker 10: She was never put in charge of the border.
Speaker 7: That wasn't actually her task, not to secure it, but
Speaker 7: to address the underlying roots of migration. She was charged
Speaker 7: with leading the administration's efforts to address the root causes
Speaker 7: of migration.
Speaker 3: The root causes of migration to the US.
Speaker 5: The root causes, root causes, root causes, or root causes
Speaker 5: root causes of immigration.
Speaker 8: We also want to point out that right now, apprehension
Speaker 8: numbers continue to decrease in our country, especially over the
Speaker 8: last few months.
Speaker 7: And I just want to know that border crossings have
Speaker 7: been going.
Speaker 15: Down and illegal border crossings are lower.
Speaker 16: Right now, Migrant crossings continue to drop.
Speaker 3: Border crossings are way down.
Speaker 15: Border crossings are down.
Speaker 1: I remember, I remember when because every one of those
Speaker 1: media outlets is saying that they lied, or they would
Speaker 1: say that they had they were inaccurate. And so the
Speaker 1: proof there is, do you believe that every news outlet
Speaker 1: who reported her as the borders are and we played
Speaker 1: it yesterday took Republican's word for it, that that that
Speaker 1: is the only that is the only way that their
Speaker 1: previous reporting lines up with what they're now saying. They're saying, one,
Speaker 1: we screwed it up, but also they're saying that the
Speaker 1: only people that were saying that are Republicans. Do you
Speaker 1: think that CBS, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, the lot of them
Speaker 1: used Republican talking points? Even when Republicans issue a statement
Speaker 1: that is an opinion statement or in god forbid, a
Speaker 1: factual statement that they might have to check out, they
Speaker 1: don't take that. They would never adapt to the Republican language,
Speaker 1: save maybe Fox News, and they're willing to. They're willing
Speaker 1: to fall on this stord and they're willing to run
Speaker 1: this and it is mind blowing to me. And the
Speaker 1: only thing that I can hope as I'm sitting there
Speaker 1: mentally trying to process it, is that more people who
Speaker 1: are casuals on social media might see one of the
Speaker 1: community notes, or see somebody who very concisely explains something
Speaker 1: that doesn't process in their brain. Because if that doesn't
Speaker 1: work and they're able to pull this off, you'll never
Speaker 1: you'll never get truth from them. They need to suffer
Speaker 1: the consequences of I guess a further jetti singing of audience,
Speaker 1: or people at the ballot box saying no, this is
Speaker 1: hot garbage, We're not going to do this. And you know,
Speaker 1: sixty percent of people in a poll that I saw,
Speaker 1: and it's it's not a poll that is generally favorable
Speaker 1: to Republicans, sixty percent believe that Kamala Harris was among
Speaker 1: those who was helping to cover up what was going
Speaker 1: on with Biden. Well, from a journalistic standpoint of sixty
Speaker 1: percent of people think there's something being covered up, then
Speaker 1: wouldn't sixty percent of people not think that Biden's capable
Speaker 1: of being president right now? And you know, this is
Speaker 1: this is this is my process an extrap and then
Speaker 1: I remember, all right, I'm going to make that point,
Speaker 1: that point, and it's it is a it is a
Speaker 1: process that yesterday my brain just said, you know what, dude,
Speaker 1: you need to think about anything, but this, and so.
Speaker 2: I know many of you are there.
Speaker 1: I've seen the frustration on social media and I try
Speaker 1: to be the hopeful guy and I still am, but
Speaker 1: I sound like I got hit by a truck today.
Speaker 1: So and I always want to be honest with you.
Speaker 1: So that's where we're at. Okay, all right, rock and roll,
Speaker 1: and you know it's death by a thousand cuts. Associated
Speaker 1: Press has now backed off a fact check that is
Speaker 1: one of the most absurd things I have ever seen,
Speaker 1: and you have to understand the language in it. Associated
Speaker 1: Press issued a fact check Wednesday. Yesterday, they redacted it
Speaker 1: and the fact check was titled ear muffs. I guess
Speaker 1: we got a little kid around. You know. Jd Vance
Speaker 1: did not have sex with a couch. Now, the absurdity
Speaker 1: of even choosing to do this based on some like
Speaker 1: weird social media post is nuts, but the way that
Speaker 1: they worded it is the most instructive. They went point
Speaker 1: by point, explaining that nowhere in his book he'll bill
Speaker 1: the elogy or elegy I can never pronounce it. Is
Speaker 1: there a portion where he talked about securing a rubber
Speaker 1: glove between cushions on a couch. But they don't say
Speaker 1: that what they say, is we can't. We can't tell
Speaker 1: you for sure that he didn't do it. And the
Speaker 1: wording matters, right, because there's something you're throwing out there
Speaker 1: that is easily fact checkable. Search the book, the pdf
Speaker 1: p used the PDF version of the book, and search
Speaker 1: for keywords if you're too lazy to read the damn thing,
Speaker 1: and then you know, go and say, no, this doesn't
Speaker 1: appear in the book anywhere.
Speaker 2: But that's not what they said.
Speaker 1: They said, and there is really no way for any
Speaker 1: of us to prove that he didn't have sex with
Speaker 1: a couch. Well, by that standard, there is no standard,
Speaker 1: right because I have no way to prove that Ross
Speaker 1: didn't murder thirteen hobos in a spree in the late nineties.
Speaker 2: I've no way to prove he didn't.
Speaker 1: But maybe he did. Wouldn't put it past him, and
Speaker 1: that's the absurdity of doing it.
Speaker 13: Well.
Speaker 1: Associated Press now says that it didn't go through the
Speaker 1: propreditorial process, so they have removed it from their wire offerings.
Speaker 2: And actually the way that they.
Speaker 1: The way that AP sends stuff out without getting technical,
Speaker 1: is how they're trying to explain, well, it never went
Speaker 1: fully on the wire. It was only made available. That's
Speaker 1: a cop out. And if you understand how the AP works,
Speaker 1: you will understand why. But I'm not going to explain
Speaker 1: the whole thing. It's absolute absurdities. But it tells you
Speaker 1: in in the minds of people who need a reason
Speaker 1: and not like jd Vance that well, look, AP couldn't
Speaker 1: find that he did, but maybe he did, and it
Speaker 1: it caused more and more people.
Speaker 2: To put this this.
Speaker 1: Weird joke or hit piece or whatever you want to
Speaker 1: call it out and it literally started trending as a result.
Speaker 1: You tell me that's not by design? Why these errors
Speaker 1: always go in the same direction that are are to
Speaker 1: smear Trump or too smear jd Vance And the the
Speaker 1: current one you're seeing today is Trump doesn't want a debate.
Speaker 1: Well we'll break that down here in just a few minutes. Uh, Donna,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 13: Good morning, I'm doing them all.
Speaker 12: Thank you?
Speaker 4: How are you?
Speaker 2: Yeah? You know, it's Friday, so we're good.
Speaker 13: You You've got a weekend coming up, so drink a
Speaker 13: lot of burbon and you'll better. So this happened to
Speaker 13: me before I started using Twitter. I was an independent
Speaker 13: and when the twenty sixteen election came along, I voted
Speaker 13: for Trump because there's no way I could vote for Hillary.
Speaker 13: So it really wasn't a vote for her. For him,
Speaker 13: it was a vote against her. But then I started
Speaker 13: to really pay attention, and slowly it was like a
Speaker 13: veil was being lifted off my eyes. And now I
Speaker 13: can't believe, Like everything that you just played is just
Speaker 13: it blows my mind. Yesterday, what was going around was
Speaker 13: w CCO forgive me if you mentioned this, it's a yeah, yeah,
Speaker 13: accuses Harris. I mean, we all know if you're but
Speaker 13: if you're not on Twitter, you would.
Speaker 4: Not know that.
Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, no, no, no. CCO was the Ral of Minneapolis.
Speaker 13: They were yeah, bring.
Speaker 2: Them absolutely and in the bag. There was never a question.
Speaker 1: Which is why when I was on the air in Minneapolis,
Speaker 1: it's who we made fun of. So but we're beyond,
Speaker 1: We're beyond making fun of them, right it is. It
Speaker 1: is downright criminal what they're doing, right.
Speaker 4: It's insidious, it's very they're all Democrat parrots. And listen
Speaker 4: to how the language that they use is just parting
Speaker 4: each other and it's all live.
Speaker 13: And if I swear, if it wasn't for Trump, I
Speaker 13: would have never seen it.
Speaker 1: Well, don I appreciate the call this warm up against
Speaker 1: the clock here. Yeah, oh sorry, I didn't mean to
Speaker 1: hang up on her quite that quickly. But and it's why,
Speaker 1: and I didn't do a good job to explain. It's why,
Speaker 1: Like the language of the Associated Press that matters. That matters,
Speaker 1: and it matters the way that they're spending the Christopher
Speaker 1: Ray testimony.
Speaker 2: So we'll touch on that. I'll let you know what's
Speaker 2: going on in the Olympics.
Speaker 1: There's some crazy stories, and we'll do that coming up
Speaker 1: in just a few minutes here on the Casey Radio program.
Speaker 1: I go back and forth, but there's just a generic
Speaker 1: version of it. Are Republicans Are they doing themselves a
Speaker 1: disservice calling Kamala a DEI candidate? And the answer is,
Speaker 1: I don't know. There's a lot of folks who think
Speaker 1: that the the you know, the sexual stuff with Kamala
Speaker 1: Harris is is really dumb, and I mostly agree with that.
Speaker 2: But also, has there been anything that's off limits with Trump?
Speaker 2: Like we just went through a trial over a porn.
Speaker 1: Star and and and I understand that, well, you know,
Speaker 1: the other side does that.
Speaker 2: It doesn't make it necessarily right. I don't know. Oh,
Speaker 2: what tracks and what doesn't like.
Speaker 1: I haven't seen individualize polling on it, so you know,
Speaker 1: everything from the the Billy Bush tape to everything. There
Speaker 1: has been nothing that's off limits. So I understand why
Speaker 1: people go in that direction. But I separate the DEI
Speaker 1: thing only because they made such a big deal out
Speaker 1: of it. Right there's there is transcript and audio and
Speaker 1: and you know, printed word from the President literally saying
Speaker 1: that this is why he's doing what he's doing. So I, I,
Speaker 1: you know, I don't know if it's a winning strategy,
Speaker 1: but I'm not going to begrudge people on that. I
Speaker 1: tend to agree that maybe they're not going to get
Speaker 1: anywhere with the that stupid logo right where she's on
Speaker 1: her knees and the side chick stuff. I think it's
Speaker 1: dumb and I and while you can argue that it's
Speaker 1: a curate and they did the same to Trump, the
Speaker 1: question becomes does it net you more votes? And I
Speaker 1: don't know if independence you're you're literally targeting here are
Speaker 1: going to have.
Speaker 2: Much appetite for it.
Speaker 1: But the DEI stuff, I'm truly on the fence with
Speaker 1: that because they made such a big deal out of
Speaker 1: it and literally explain that they were going to pick
Speaker 1: a black woman to be president or to be a
Speaker 1: vice president. So I hear you. So I know I'm
Speaker 1: splitting the baby there, but that's where I'm at, you know.
Speaker 1: And and now the latest thing we're going to be
Speaker 1: dealing with today is the narrative that Donald Trump won't
Speaker 1: debate her because he's terrified of her, which of course
Speaker 1: the media is.
Speaker 3: Going to run.
Speaker 1: And at no point are they going to sit there
Speaker 1: and read the actual statement that the Trump put out
Speaker 1: on Truth, which simply said, I have I have terms
Speaker 1: and conditions to debate Joe Biden. Remember they were basically
Speaker 1: his terms and conditions. I don't even know if Kamala
Speaker 1: is going to be that person. So at this point
Speaker 1: we'll wait and see, which sounds logical now from a
Speaker 1: strategy stand but he's probably smart just saying yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: debate her under those terms following the the the DEM
Speaker 1: convention in Chicago, because I don't think she does well
Speaker 1: in a debate with him. I think there's a lot
Speaker 1: of cackling. And you know, no matter how biased the
Speaker 1: moderator is in that you saw the deer in the
Speaker 1: headlights with her when she was sitting now with ABC,
Speaker 1: and they asked her, like, you're the you're the most
Speaker 1: liberal senator and she's like, well, Mike Pence said that,
Speaker 1: and then for whatever reason, the ABC reporter was actually like, well, no,
Speaker 1: the you gov actually said that the non partisan group,
Speaker 1: and she was absolutely stymied. She didn't know how to
Speaker 1: respond to that. But when you see the story today
Speaker 1: that Donald Trump's too much of a coward to debate her,
Speaker 1: he simply said, if she's the nominee, we'll wait and
Speaker 1: see and we'll figure it out from there. But you know,
Speaker 1: just watch watch how that gets handled, and I think
Speaker 1: it'll be very eye opening. All right, let's get in
Speaker 1: on this, Josh, what's up, Casey?
Speaker 11: Hey, I was I was wondering, just like the jd
Speaker 11: Vance thing. Ye know, there's no proof for no way
Speaker 11: you can say it didn't happen.
Speaker 17: You know, maybe this, uh, maybe this whole thing is saying, hey, Trump,
Speaker 17: don't go after this, and senators don't.
Speaker 11: Go after this. But they're putting it all out in
Speaker 11: the news and it's on my news feet every time
Speaker 11: I look on my phone daily and it's already out
Speaker 11: there or it's out there.
Speaker 17: Maybe that was their playing all along that Trump doesn't
Speaker 17: have to do the starty work himself.
Speaker 1: Well, but but but the the parameters for her being
Speaker 1: selected are not up in the air like the j
Speaker 1: The JD. Vans thing isn't even up in the air.
Speaker 1: It's not in the book. But you know, the argument
Speaker 1: that he did or he didn't do the American Pie
Speaker 1: thing is is dumb and and and in this case
Speaker 1: we know because Joe Biden said, these are the parameters
Speaker 1: for who he was selecting. So I can't treat the
Speaker 1: two is the same thing, I guess. But is it
Speaker 1: Is it beneficial from a vote standpoint?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I think I think it can be alienating to women.
Speaker 1: And you know, he's he's he's gonna need women because
Speaker 1: that is the direction going to go in.
Speaker 11: So I think absolutely right. They are going to be
Speaker 11: people that's mad if it's talked about, and there's going
Speaker 11: to be people who are mad if it's not talked
Speaker 11: about if.
Speaker 1: It's talked about in context, and thank you for the call, Josha,
Speaker 1: it's talked about in context where the person acknowledges, Hey, yeah,
Speaker 1: let me let me watch the video of Joe Biden
Speaker 1: saying it. Then then you're fine. But if they just
Speaker 1: hear DEI stuff, Oh, he's only selected her because she's
Speaker 1: she was a woman, people who were only half plugged in,
Speaker 1: I think are going to recoil. Some some people are
Speaker 1: smart enough to realize that that is probably the case
Speaker 1: even without hearing the quote, because they've seen it in
Speaker 1: action in one hundred different news stories that we've done.
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 1: And and also I also predict that the big conspiracy
Speaker 1: theory from the attempt at Trump assassination, which isn't getting
Speaker 1: a ton of esteem right now but they've started to
Speaker 1: pick up, is going to be the Donald Trump was
Speaker 1: never shot. And that was because Christopher Ray deflected right
Speaker 1: during the testimony. And I'll play it for you. This
Speaker 1: was just a moment of testimony and it created a
Speaker 1: whole narrative set of news stories. Newsweek ran in an
Speaker 1: article yesterday. And I suspect that as you get further
Speaker 1: in time, this will be the new good people on
Speaker 1: both sides, because well, let me play the Ray thing
Speaker 1: and then I'll explain the part that's missing.
Speaker 18: I think with respect to former President Trump, there's there's
Speaker 18: some question about whether or not it's a bullet or
Speaker 18: shrapnel that you know that hit his ear. So it's conceivable,
Speaker 18: as I say here right now, I don't know whether
Speaker 18: that bullet, in addition to you know, clausing and the grazing,
Speaker 18: could have also landed somewhere else. But I believe you've
Speaker 18: accounted for all of the shots and the cartridges all right.
Speaker 1: Well, And this was along the lines of where Secret
Speaker 1: Service deferred to FBI investigation. Then when Ray came in,
Speaker 1: he deferred back to Secret Service. According to the Secret Service,
Speaker 1: they do believe it was the bullet that passed through.
Speaker 1: And absolutely could a bullet pass through the very soft
Speaker 1: portion of the of a quarter inch of the year,
Speaker 1: which is the description that we have from the doctors,
Speaker 1: and continue on its path. Absolutely bullets passed through straight
Speaker 1: through human bodies and ended up hitting other people. The
Speaker 1: absolute absurdity of it. And Ray sitting there and not
Speaker 1: he could have acknowledged that the FBI didn't independently find
Speaker 1: because the Secret Service was in charge of it. But
Speaker 1: he threw out the well could have been shrapnel, and
Speaker 1: I don't think that was unintentional. So news we got
Speaker 1: the ball rolling. There's such a ridiculous version of what
Speaker 1: they used to be that. That's a talking point that
Speaker 1: I think is going to get carried forward and become
Speaker 1: part of the lore. And because the further you get
Speaker 1: away from it, the further you are from being able
Speaker 1: to prove or disprove it. Just my prediction. Let's grab
Speaker 1: speaking of predictions, raced agent from the weather Channel, and uh,
Speaker 1: you know what we need. We need a calm, peaceful,
Speaker 1: good weather weekend. So well, and that's the theory, right,
Speaker 1: And what's so funny?
Speaker 16: Yeah, Well to say I'm hesitant for the weekend forecast,
Speaker 16: to say it's going to be completely dry, I guess
Speaker 16: for me it's an understatement. I mean it is, it's
Speaker 16: close because high pressure to the north right now looks
Speaker 16: like it's going to win this battle. And finally we
Speaker 16: get out of the rain chances each afternoon, except as
Speaker 16: you go west, I still think we're going to have
Speaker 16: it today central parts of the state off to the east.
Speaker 16: So again, if you are heading to the beaches, they'll
Speaker 16: be rain around, but don't worry. There will be dry
Speaker 16: hours too. And then as we head on through tonight
Speaker 16: and tomorrow at high is going to try to push
Speaker 16: in and get some dryer air in here. And I
Speaker 16: think except into the mountains, we may be rain free tomorrow,
Speaker 16: possibly even on Sunday, so that'll be welcome news. Today,
Speaker 16: we'll still get probably in the middle eighties, and then
Speaker 16: as we look ahead toward the weekend, I'm getting into
Speaker 16: the mid maybe upper eighties. It'll stay in the low
Speaker 16: to mid eighties, and the try it in points west
Speaker 16: and early next week may start dry Monday, but I
Speaker 16: think we'll get back into the wet weather as we
Speaker 16: can into Tuesday Wednesday of next week. So today the
Speaker 16: best rain chants, meaning the best coverage this afternoon. I'm
Speaker 16: just going to say from about the triangle east, you
Speaker 16: go toward the west, a little less coverage on the rainfall,
Speaker 16: but not all afternoon, mid afternoon through this evening and
Speaker 16: your Friday evening plans. And then this weekend we're going dry.
Speaker 16: Fingers crossed right now, pretty confident that there won't be
Speaker 16: much rain at all. Hopefully that'll work out and that
Speaker 16: could last right on into Monday.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, yeah, I know if you can crap on
Speaker 1: the work week, nobody cares, man, So yeah, I agreat
Speaker 1: window a little window, so we'll see what happens. We'll
Speaker 1: talk in the next hour. Appreciate it all right, speaking
Speaker 1: of the you know, the DEI stuff for any of that,
Speaker 1: is it helpful what Trump said on Fox yesterday, well
Speaker 1: over the flag thing or could he have couched it
Speaker 1: into a specific scenario. I'll play the audio, we'll ask
Speaker 1: the question Pete Callander, he'll join us coming up at
Speaker 1: eight oh five. Lots to get to hang on. You know,
Speaker 1: here in North Carolina we got our own little angle
Speaker 1: with the unc frat bros. But if you watched in
Speaker 1: d C what happened in front of Union Station, it
Speaker 1: is absolutely rage inducing. So Trump's on Fox, They're asking
Speaker 1: him about flags, and I don't know if this is
Speaker 1: the right answer. I feel like there's a better middle
Speaker 1: ground here. But here's what he said.
Speaker 19: He took the American flag down. They were riding Hamas
Speaker 19: on the bell outside of Union Station. What does a
Speaker 19: Donald Trump do if he takes office to these people
Speaker 19: on the street.
Speaker 9: Rarely have we seen anything like this. And I think
Speaker 9: you should get a one year jail sentence if you
Speaker 9: do anything to desecrate the American flag. Now people will say, oh,
Speaker 9: it's unconstitutional. Those are stupid people. Those are stupid people
Speaker 9: that say that we have to work in Congress to
Speaker 9: get a one year jail sence when they're allowed to
Speaker 9: stomp on the flag and put lighter fluid on the
Speaker 9: flag and set it a fire. And when you're allowed
Speaker 9: to do that, you get a one year jail sence
Speaker 9: and you'll never see it again. And all over the
Speaker 9: world Putin and President She of China, all over the world,
Speaker 9: they're watching this.
Speaker 3: Kim Jong mun.
Speaker 9: He looks at us like we're a bunch of babies.
Speaker 9: They see that that wouldn't happen in their countries. Would
Speaker 9: it's impossible for that to happen in their country where
Speaker 9: we have we look so bad to the world. That
Speaker 9: was a disgraceful display yesterday.
Speaker 2: All right.
Speaker 1: And and when you listen to him, I think the
Speaker 1: important clarifying point there is because they're painting it as
Speaker 1: Trump thinks that if you go buy a flag and
Speaker 1: you want to burn it in your yard, that you
Speaker 1: should get a one year jail sentence. And I'm I
Speaker 1: don't know that, I'm one hundred percent that's what he's saying.
Speaker 2: But he needs to clarify.
Speaker 1: It's not if it's not if it's not your flag,
Speaker 1: it's the one in front of Union Station or it's
Speaker 1: your neighbor's house or something like that. Then I'm all
Speaker 1: for it, right, because now you've committed vandalism, you've committed arson.
Speaker 2: We do have laws that are not enforced as much
Speaker 2: as they should be. But I hope that he doesn't
Speaker 2: believe that you shouldn't be able to burn a flag
Speaker 2: that you own in your own yard. Ross.
Speaker 1: How did you take it when you heard it? Because
Speaker 1: every time I listen to it.
Speaker 3: I'm like, yeah, no, I was thinking the same thing. Like,
Speaker 3: if you go purchase your own flag, I mean, you
Speaker 3: can burn it. It's despicable and awful. You shouldn't, but
Speaker 3: you can do it if you want to. Right, if
Speaker 3: you buy it, go down to Walmart, would ever buy
Speaker 3: a flag? But if you go to like you know,
Speaker 3: Union Station, if you take down that flag and burn it,
Speaker 3: first off, that's arson, right, So that's the charge of arson.
Speaker 3: And if you put up another nation's flag, I don't
Speaker 3: think it's treason, But what would be like declaring an
Speaker 3: act of war whatever.
Speaker 1: Well, it'd be continued vandalism because you're misusing the flag
Speaker 1: pole there. I don't know what it looks like, but
Speaker 1: like they were very quick to go ahead and get
Speaker 1: significant charges ready for people who peeled out on rainbow
Speaker 1: crosswalks exactly. And the argument was that that is public property.
Speaker 3: I mean, there are charges there that you can charge
Speaker 3: them with. The issue is that we're not doing that,
Speaker 3: and we when we do take them in, we instantly
Speaker 3: release them.
Speaker 1: So and I hope that's what Trump's indicating there. I'll
Speaker 1: be interested to see if somebody attempts to clarify that
Speaker 1: with him.
Speaker 2: But you know, he said it before.
Speaker 1: He may think that he may be of the opinion
Speaker 1: that even you can't burn one you own, and I
Speaker 1: I feel like that's not helping him.
Speaker 2: All right, Jamal, I got two minutes, go right.
Speaker 15: Ahead, Okaykse, I hope you're feeling better. Case what, it's
Speaker 15: obvious what President Trump was saying yesterday, because when they
Speaker 15: was burning in Palm Luton and trying to destroy statues,
Speaker 15: he said the same thing. It's just a continuation. So
Speaker 15: they're purposely doing this to try to say President Trump
Speaker 15: is trying to be a fascist. Now to get to
Speaker 15: the point, also, KC, we have to come a time
Speaker 15: where people got to ask, what are these precious independence
Speaker 15: that we keep hearing that when Republicans push back, Oh,
Speaker 15: we're about to lose them. I'm one of those people
Speaker 15: who say Willie brownside hick. I'm one of those people
Speaker 15: who when I FoST on Twitter, I will say two
Speaker 15: heels the arrow up and money for heels up Harris. Okay,
Speaker 15: I'm one of those people. Now, if the Independent the
Speaker 15: only way Independence will vote for a Republicans, if we
Speaker 15: stand there and get abating, is that. If that's the
Speaker 15: only way Independence will both of us, then we as
Speaker 15: Republicans got to say, wow, is it really worth it?
Speaker 15: Because the Democrats can lie. The Democrats can literally go
Speaker 15: back in their same articles they say they don't get
Speaker 15: hold of counter before you got one of the biggest cools.
Speaker 15: It just happened. They took down a sitting president got
Speaker 15: took down because they want to keep power. That doesn't
Speaker 15: push the precious independence away. But if we call her
Speaker 15: Willie Brown's side shit or we if we call her
Speaker 15: that or we say something offensive, then oh, everybody's going
Speaker 15: to lead us.
Speaker 1: I feel like we're not going to pass up the
Speaker 1: opportunity that we have on Fridays as we welcome in
Speaker 1: our radio buddy from the South, Pete Calender Pete, how
Speaker 1: are you doing this morning?
Speaker 2: My voice sounds like crap, deal with it?
Speaker 11: Okay, all right?
Speaker 2: So which which it's? You know what it is?
Speaker 1: And I try to honest, No, no, no, it's not
Speaker 1: a medical thing. I try to be honest. I just
Speaker 1: feel so mentally burned out, and because it's been NonStop
Speaker 1: for what like three weeks now, and it's just every
Speaker 1: day it's just one thing that's more and more insane.
Speaker 1: And we'll talk about some of that insanity because I'm
Speaker 1: curious to pick your brain because it's obviously been a
Speaker 1: crazy week. But you've no doubt seen the two videos,
Speaker 1: one where it's the before and after of the borders
Speaker 1: are stuff right where it's literally the same show, the
Speaker 1: same person, or the side by side of the Democrat
Speaker 1: talking point card and the media literally reciting it verbatim,
Speaker 1: which makes you want to punch your monitor more if
Speaker 1: you had to choose.
Speaker 12: Well, my monitor didn't do anything to me, So I
Speaker 12: feel like I've never had the desire to just whip
Speaker 12: up on an innocent bystander like that. So either that
Speaker 12: or I just have remarkable self control or restraint. I'm
Speaker 12: not sure, but I've actually never been really known for that, So.
Speaker 2: That's not it, but so not literally punch your monitor,
Speaker 2: but you know what.
Speaker 12: I mean, right, punch a person.
Speaker 2: A puppy or a kitten or whatever whatever your thing is, yeah.
Speaker 12: Whatever nearby, right, So yeah, so it is. So I've
Speaker 12: been acquainting people with the term retcon and you probably
Speaker 12: know very well what that term means, retroactive continuity. It's where, uh,
Speaker 12: you're like if you're watching a TV series and you
Speaker 12: know the origin story of the main character because you've
Speaker 12: been watching from the very first season. But now you're
Speaker 12: six seasons deep and all of a sudden, you see
Speaker 12: something where it's like, well, wait a minute, that doesn't
Speaker 12: square with the origin story from the first season. There's
Speaker 12: a conflict there that wasn't the main character's girlfriend's name
Speaker 12: or whatever. That called ret conning when you change things
Speaker 12: now to make the story make sense now, but it
Speaker 12: requires you to change some of the original details.
Speaker 2: And so basically everything Disney's been doing for years.
Speaker 12: Okay, all right, exactly right, Well, and so that's what
Speaker 12: we are all watching. And when you undertake this kind
Speaker 12: of an operation in politics or in a debate about
Speaker 12: philosophy or policy or whatever, it's a form of gaslighting.
Speaker 12: That's what's going on right now, and that's why people
Speaker 12: are discombobulated and frustrated. It is a form of psychological abuse.
Speaker 12: And you've got media outlets that are participating in this
Speaker 12: because the democracy. Right, they are trying to save the
Speaker 12: democracy because Joe Biden, apparently for some reason quit We
Speaker 12: don't know why, but he quit. He's not going to
Speaker 12: save our democracy for us, even though as I understand it,
Speaker 12: nobody did a better job at saving the democracy than
Speaker 12: Joe Biden. So he's going to step aside to allow
Speaker 12: somebody else to do it. The problem is that person
Speaker 12: also did all of these awesome things that Joe Biden did,
Speaker 12: and so is trying to get some separation from him
Speaker 12: and all of the awesomeness that he was and did
Speaker 12: and still is. By the way, he's not going anywhere,
Speaker 12: Don't worry. He's still going to be doing all of
Speaker 12: the awesome things, but no more after December, right, he's out,
Speaker 12: not going to try to do more awesomeness for us,
Speaker 12: And so now they're trying to create this distance between
Speaker 12: him and Kamala Harris for some reason. Then the borders
Speaker 12: are issue was one of them. But like the talked
Speaker 12: to Noah Rothman from National Review yesterday and he makes
Speaker 12: several very good points about this very media push, which
Speaker 12: is that the reason she was assigned to do the
Speaker 12: things she was assigned to do in the Biden administration
Speaker 12: was precisely because they wanted to recap her. Right, all
Speaker 12: of the issues that right that were so harmful to
Speaker 12: Joe Biden's prospects they gave to her and people inside
Speaker 12: her camp for years they've talked about this, you know,
Speaker 12: off the record, leaking and anonymous sourcing and stuff, that
Speaker 12: they were not happy that Joe was pushing off all
Speaker 12: of these things on to her, which you could even
Speaker 12: view his endorsement of her as sort of a kiss
Speaker 12: of death as well. Right, that he fully endorses her,
Speaker 12: but like the red conning going on right now is
Speaker 12: very obvious for all to see. The borders Are thing
Speaker 12: is just one example of it. But look, if she
Speaker 12: doesn't want to be the borders are, doesn't like the term, whatever,
Speaker 12: says she had nothing to do with the border, you know,
Speaker 12: we'll find then that all that does is proved then
Speaker 12: that Joe Biden put her in charge of something with
Speaker 12: no real authority to do anything, but got touted as
Speaker 12: the way to do something. And she's like, Oh, I'm
Speaker 12: gonna address the root causes. And I could have told
Speaker 12: her what the root cause of illegal immics is that
Speaker 12: America is awesome. That's why everybody wants to come here.
Speaker 2: That's a very good point.
Speaker 1: The absurdity of the borders are thing. And then I
Speaker 1: want to I want to try to figure out why
Speaker 1: it seems so much more abrasive, and I have some
Speaker 1: theories right now. But to fall on the sword as
Speaker 1: the media is doing, they have to accept two things.
Speaker 1: One they all got it wrong, and two they they
Speaker 1: base their reporting off of Republican talking points, which would
Speaker 1: be an absolute first right like a no planet will
Speaker 1: they even in many cases correctly quote a Republican right.
Speaker 1: So to say that they all got it wrong because
Speaker 1: the Republicans told them and they took it at face
Speaker 1: value is lunacy. But most people don't think that deep.
Speaker 1: So does it feel so aggressive because of the shortened
Speaker 1: time frame? Or and this is I guess the positive thought?
Speaker 1: Is it because when things end up on Twitter like
Speaker 1: these videos, no longer do they get shadow not banned,
Speaker 1: but you know, put off to the side. Or in
Speaker 1: some cases taken down. And does that vode for people
Speaker 1: who are casual Twitter users who may plug in like
Speaker 1: the week before they vote, of maybe stumbling across this stuff.
Speaker 12: So the right, So I think part of it is
Speaker 12: exactly what you just mentioned, is that it is the
Speaker 12: compressed time frame where normally you would have more of
Speaker 12: a landing pad, you know, a runway to uh to
Speaker 12: start changing these kinds of narratives. But because Joe Biden
Speaker 12: has abandoned us and won't give us more of the
Speaker 12: awesomeness of his first term into a second term, we
Speaker 12: have a much shortened landing strip, and that means they've
Speaker 12: got to do rush jobs on all of this stuff
Speaker 12: because you know, one of the things. Also keep in mind,
Speaker 12: they're not allowed to any of the money yet because
Speaker 12: she's not officially the nominee. So they've raised a lot
Speaker 12: of money, and so what's happening now is the Republicans
Speaker 12: are just pouring tens of millions of dollars into campaign
Speaker 12: adds against her, trying to define her, just like Obama
Speaker 12: did against Mitt Romney. Because their Republican convention was a
Speaker 12: couple weeks after the Democrats won, and so they got
Speaker 12: to unleash all of this money. So the Democrats are
Speaker 12: kind of frozen in place for a couple of weeks.
Speaker 12: Now that's going to change, obviously, and they'll catch up.
Speaker 12: But if you are able to define Kamala Harris negatively
Speaker 12: right now, and by the way, like you're already well
Speaker 12: on your way to that definition because of her, you know,
Speaker 12: just the nature of who she is in the campaign
Speaker 12: she has run and the things she has said and done.
Speaker 12: So you got the compressed timeline. The other I think
Speaker 12: is correct that you've identified on Twitter where you're not
Speaker 12: being throttled anymore. The content is not being restricted or restrained,
Speaker 12: and things being elevated to the degree that they were
Speaker 12: in the last sidels. But as far as most people
Speaker 12: go that are not on Twitter, I don't know if
Speaker 12: they'll ever see this stuff, right, And that's why you've
Speaker 12: got to have You gotta have all these different prongs
Speaker 12: into different areas. That's why they're all, you know, gushing
Speaker 12: over the TikTok videos and the different songs and the
Speaker 12: Hollywood actors and all that stuff. Right There's you got
Speaker 12: to have all these different kind of entry points into
Speaker 12: different media platforms. Now that being said, people say Twitter
Speaker 12: is not real life, and that is true. However, I
Speaker 12: would point out the President made his endorsement on Twitter
Speaker 12: right the video, Like, so the idea that it's completely separate,
Speaker 12: that's not true either. The people who shape the news
Speaker 12: are on Twitter, and that's what we're seeing is like
Speaker 12: the mockery and the ridicule of the media. People that
Speaker 12: are engaging in the kind of thing that we're seeing,
Speaker 12: that's where they're being mocked and ridiculed. Does that breakthrough?
Speaker 12: Does that get through to the casual voter? Not sure?
Speaker 12: But I just saw some polling that even Democrats by
Speaker 12: like a super majority. I believe Kamala Harris knew about
Speaker 12: Joe Biden's cognitive decline and didn't do anything, didn't say
Speaker 12: anything about it. So that's like that whatever she does
Speaker 12: and says from here on out, that does not go away.
Speaker 1: It can't go sixty If it's the same poll we
Speaker 1: talked about, I think it was sixty percent, but by proxy,
Speaker 1: that means sixty percent of people have to believe that
Speaker 1: Joe Biden shouldn't be president. Right, if you thought that
Speaker 1: cognitive stuff was covered up, and like, where where do
Speaker 1: we have do you think Republicans try to get him
Speaker 1: ousted or are they comfortable with him serving it out
Speaker 1: and just feasting upon her as candidate.
Speaker 12: I mean, I'm for the good of the country. I
Speaker 12: think he does need to step aside, but I don't
Speaker 12: think he's going to and I don't think there's going
Speaker 12: to be enough pressure on him from inside the Democratic
Speaker 12: Party in the media. But I repeat myself to do
Speaker 12: so only because they've already started with the hay geography, Right,
Speaker 12: They've already started with the fainthood stories that you know,
Speaker 12: he put the country above his own ambition and all
Speaker 12: this other stuff. But of course now we find out
Speaker 12: that the Democrat Party officials were the ones that pushed
Speaker 12: him to do the debate early. They were the ones
Speaker 12: that were threatening him with the twenty fifth Amendment removal process. Right,
Speaker 12: So like this was and look, I'm not a conspiracy theorist.
Speaker 12: I tend not to deal in like hyperbole when it
Speaker 12: comes to this stuff. But this has all of the
Speaker 12: hallmark definitional traits of a coup from inside the Democrat
Speaker 12: Party leadership, and that needs to be reckoned with.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but is that the party that reckons with it
Speaker 1: if they have no look do you believe the Barack
Speaker 1: Obama one of the Arizona senator and it's four dhs
Speaker 1: and Biden by coming out and instantly getting behind Kamala
Speaker 1: in niecapped the Obamas, which is why they only gave
Speaker 1: their endorsement last week, because that's that's juicy stuff. But
Speaker 1: ultimately it is conjecture. So how do you prove to
Speaker 1: the extent that you can prove it without having to
Speaker 1: prove the whole tale?
Speaker 12: So the so I don't, well, are you asking me
Speaker 12: to prove the Mark Kelly or the Obama fingerprints?
Speaker 1: Because like, yeah, yeah, because that's that's how you're going
Speaker 1: to hook people in, you know, simply saying that they
Speaker 1: threatened with the twenty fifth Amendment that it becomes prove it,
Speaker 1: prove it, explain if it prove it to me, And we.
Speaker 12: Already have well, we already have. I mean, we have
Speaker 12: media reports of you know, unnamed sources of course that
Speaker 12: said that this was threatened of Joe. Now, if the
Speaker 12: proof is going to come, it's going to come from Democrats.
Speaker 12: It's not going to come from Republicans. And so you're
Speaker 12: going to have to have people that are close to Biden.
Speaker 12: And when you have inside the Democrat Party of these
Speaker 12: different factions, one of which is the Obama wing, which
Speaker 12: you'll recall completely obliterated the Clinton eastas in two thousand
Speaker 12: and eight. Right, So, but the Clinton camp was then
Speaker 12: wooed back in by Obama. They gave Clinton the Secretary
Speaker 12: of State position, right with the idea that she was
Speaker 12: going to run for president, and so the Democrats then
Speaker 12: created that landing strip for her, and then of course
Speaker 12: she lost. So that weekened the Clinton machine. And so
Speaker 12: what you're seeing also is a fight inside the Democrat
Speaker 12: establishment between the Obama wing, which is a far more
Speaker 12: progressive wing, and the Clinton wing, which you'll recall they
Speaker 12: tacked back to the center with Bill in order to
Speaker 12: try to win after having been blown out by Reagan
Speaker 12: and Bush for twenty years prior.
Speaker 1: Okay, so the media reports though that are out there again.
Speaker 1: That was a week long spat. You would agree the
Speaker 1: media fought because they were getting thrown under the bus.
Speaker 1: That seems to appealed. They kissed and made up. So
Speaker 1: let's just say the New York Times in New York Post,
Speaker 1: who was running most of this, don't just come out
Speaker 1: and go, oh those anonymously, Yeah, those sources. Yeah, we
Speaker 1: got some other ones. They said that never happened. So
Speaker 1: I agree with you, it's going to have to come
Speaker 1: from paulaeticians. All right, I got it here, I think, yeah,
Speaker 1: real quick.
Speaker 12: Real quick, I will say, here's the things here, here's
Speaker 12: what we do know. Joe Biden's been in mental decline
Speaker 12: for a while, right, and people around him obviously had
Speaker 12: to have known it. Therefore, people around him protected him
Speaker 12: and tried to shield him and his condition from us.
Speaker 12: And then when he's saying I'm not dropping out, and
Speaker 12: then a day later, I Am dropping out.
Speaker 11: What changed?
Speaker 12: They won't say. And now here he's endorsing Kamala Harris.
Speaker 12: That to me has the hallmark that those are all
Speaker 12: the hallmarks of a coup.
Speaker 1: Okay, I'm with you. I firmly believe that you're correct.
Speaker 1: It's just I'm so I'm so beat down on the
Speaker 1: ability of them to prove it. And also then we
Speaker 1: go about two and a half minutes, I'm beat down
Speaker 1: on the Park Service and the Capitol Police actually doing
Speaker 1: a DOJ style look at what transpired in our capital
Speaker 1: this week. It was it was far worse what we
Speaker 1: saw on UNC's campus. The amount of law enforcement assault
Speaker 1: easily far out paces January sixth.
Speaker 2: So where do you think this goes?
Speaker 12: Nowhere? Yeah, I think probably nowhere. I think everybody's already
Speaker 12: out of jail.
Speaker 1: Everybody's already out right as of the next morning seven
Speaker 1: am last was released.
Speaker 12: Yes, yeah, so they're all yeah, they're all out, and
Speaker 12: this is I mean, but so it gets very difficult
Speaker 12: for me to deny the accusations from a lot of people,
Speaker 12: or to try to dispute the accusations, I should say,
Speaker 12: from people on the right that claim these types of
Speaker 12: protesters are the foot soldiers and shock troops of the
Speaker 12: Democrat Party and they are purposely allowed to run wild
Speaker 12: in order to sow the chaos that then make people
Speaker 12: for Democrats so they will stop the chaos. It gets
Speaker 12: very difficult for me to try to dispute that accusation
Speaker 12: when I keep being the same pattern over and over.
Speaker 1: Yet, well, if it ain't broke, don't fix it, and yeah,
Speaker 1: your tinfoil looks nice. First thing Trump's gotta do is
Speaker 1: fire ray agree, disagree.
Speaker 12: Yeah, definitely, Well yeah, our second or third, I mean,
Speaker 12: I know there's gonna be a lot of first things.
Speaker 12: He's got to do, but I would agree.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, because I feel and we got thirty seconds left,
Speaker 1: I feel that the narrative that Trump wasn't shot is
Speaker 1: going to be the uh, the dude on the ridge
Speaker 1: forever attack.
Speaker 12: Oh yeah this yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, I called
Speaker 12: him they cleaned. They were glass shards that hit him
Speaker 12: or something from the telepumkers that were amazingly not damaged.
Speaker 12: But I called them sharters like truthers. But they're shards.
Speaker 2: Oh that's so close to a word. I really wish
Speaker 2: it wasn't. But you know what what oh you know,
Speaker 2: look at that. We got to go.
Speaker 1: Oh that's that's too bad. So all right, thanks for
Speaker 1: putting up with my voice in my sour mood. We'll
Speaker 1: talk next week, sir. All buddy, feel better the weekend
Speaker 1: and we'll be back.
Speaker 2: Hang on.
Speaker 1: I was just looking at all the strength of schedules
Speaker 1: for the NFL stuff, because I hadn't really looked at
Speaker 1: the Vikings total schedule, and I'm sorry, I don't think
Speaker 1: we have a middle of the road schedule. We got
Speaker 1: to play AFC West. Our own division is tough, but
Speaker 1: they got us at sixteen. But then I scroll up
Speaker 1: and Ross, how how is it possible. You guys get
Speaker 1: screwed every year. You are fifth or sixth, depending on
Speaker 1: the list that I look at for hardest schedule, and
Speaker 1: you have by far the hardest in your division, which
Speaker 1: should be opposite, right, And because it's.
Speaker 3: Been that way in the last few years, I think
Speaker 3: this year is actually easier than last year.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, because you guys are you guys are I'm
Speaker 1: assuming you're the favor to win your.
Speaker 2: Division right there?
Speaker 15: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I would think so, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1: So feasibly because your division opponents play roughly the same
Speaker 1: schedule as you. How are you so far above everybody?
Speaker 1: Patriots are like tenth?
Speaker 3: Well that and then I mean the simple answer I
Speaker 3: don't want to really get into, but the simple answer
Speaker 3: is because the NFL is against the Bills. That'd be why, Yeah,
Speaker 3: Chiefs or they have a middle of the road schedule.
Speaker 1: I don't know, Man, Browns apparently have the hardest. I
Speaker 1: would argue though, that the Browns always have the hardest
Speaker 1: because they're not good. But yeah, there's Ravens, Steelers, Packers, Texans,
Speaker 1: and Bills.
Speaker 3: You know, right, their strength. The schedule has been really
Speaker 3: tough to pass, like three four seasons. But I saw
Speaker 3: a stat this morning that was I thought was impressive.
Speaker 3: The Bills have gone over forty games or forty straight
Speaker 3: now forty straight games not losing a game by more
Speaker 3: than six points. Really, how forty games? I'm sorry? How
Speaker 3: many forty game? Yeah, and that's the NFL record, tied
Speaker 3: with the Packers.
Speaker 2: Dude, half list and that is impressive. Dude. The Dolphins
Speaker 2: got a cake they got a cake walk. What else
Speaker 2: is in your division?
Speaker 3: Yeah, don't happen in the Jets. Jets, that's right, don't
Speaker 3: have a really you know, good first half of the
Speaker 3: season the Dolphins because of the strength of their schedule,
Speaker 3: and then they'll blow it out and lose it by
Speaker 3: the end of the year. It's what happens every year.
Speaker 3: Oh good, So what happened last year? Peop were like, oh,
Speaker 3: they're amazing, They're gonna win the Super Bowl this year.
Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, but look at their schedule, and every
Speaker 3: time they would play tough team or a playoff team,
Speaker 3: they would lose. It's what. They had a losing record
Speaker 3: against playoff teams.
Speaker 1: And you know, but the thing is too is you
Speaker 1: look at you look at the strength of the schedule.
Speaker 1: Because you can scroll back to twenty twenty threes, and
Speaker 1: it seems to have had no bearing on how the
Speaker 1: season ended. So take this stuff for what it's worth,
Speaker 1: all right, I promised you a couple of things going
Speaker 1: on at the Paris Olympics. One, they're just they're rounding
Speaker 1: up migrants. They're just driving around in buses and just
Speaker 1: snatching people off the street. The train service has been
Speaker 1: imperiled after they have sat boutaged two sections of track.
Speaker 1: People are in fact pooping in the river. So you know,
Speaker 1: everyone getting pumped for the the opening ceremonies, which, by
Speaker 1: the way, Lebron is the dude carrying it for us
Speaker 1: in the final leg, really has even shot an arrow
Speaker 1: before into it?
Speaker 3: Really set it on fire? Has he done that before?
Speaker 2: Oh? Is he having to do like a Viking funeral.
Speaker 3: Thing that's gonna be like Barcelona ninety two.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, hopefully it didn't set himself on fire. If
Speaker 1: he doesn't know what he's doing, I said, hopefully he
Speaker 1: doesn't set himself on fire and embarrassed states occur. Okay,
Speaker 1: completely making sure, making sure, but that is not the
Speaker 1: funniest thing going on. So apparently, dude, you know what
Speaker 1: this is? Firefest is Firefest. Right, it's they show up. Essentially,
Speaker 1: they're in They're like an emerging see shelters, right, they
Speaker 1: got crap beds. Uh No, actually Firefest had better mattresses.
Speaker 1: I didn't realize something unce I was reading an article
Speaker 1: about Firefest again, do you know what people were doing
Speaker 1: so that they didn't have to share the limited shelters.
Speaker 2: I guess dozens of people were running around and urinating
Speaker 2: on the mattresses and then throwing them outside so nobody
Speaker 2: could use them. So like it like people are horrible
Speaker 2: in bad conditions to other people at the drop of
Speaker 2: a hat. Man, it's it was a it's a there's
Speaker 2: a crazy article because they literally are threatening to do
Speaker 2: a firefest too, which I'm all for. I want.
Speaker 1: I want to read tweets about people wanting to make
Speaker 1: spears to stave off wild dogs, like I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: But the Olympics is providing us a little glimpse into it.
Speaker 1: So we've we've talked about the living conditions. Apparently the
Speaker 1: food situation is already a disaster because remember they wanted
Speaker 1: to moon back this thing up, and so they operated
Speaker 1: under the assumption that rather than lean proteins such as
Speaker 1: grilled chicken and eggs. What the folks, the world class
Speaker 1: athletes really would want is fake meat. And believe it
Speaker 1: or not, they don't want that. They want grilled chicken
Speaker 1: and eggs, and they are they have run out of
Speaker 1: it within just a couple of days and they're having
Speaker 1: to like scurry to go ahead and get it.
Speaker 3: You can't put these world class athletes on like a
Speaker 3: vegan diet or the like fake meat.
Speaker 1: Come on, who, I promise the person who made this
Speaker 1: decision is not an athlete. I'm not even an athlete,
Speaker 1: and I know that these dudes the amount of protein
Speaker 1: that they eat, especially grilled chicken.
Speaker 3: Dude, you want to go to the gym, workout for
Speaker 3: three or four hours, or train all day, and then
Speaker 3: you want like a califlower or something. Come on, get
Speaker 3: out of here.
Speaker 2: This is so bad.
Speaker 3: I looked it up. Going back to your last point
Speaker 3: real quick. You know that nineteen ninety two, after accidentally
Speaker 3: setting himself on fire, Jordan scored fifty seven points. It's true.
Speaker 1: And so if you want to be the goat, I
Speaker 1: mean you got a Oh, dude, if they lose to
Speaker 1: South Sudan or I don't know who they play anymore,
Speaker 1: and he did, and he did set himself on fire.
Speaker 1: They would use that as the excuse because remember he
Speaker 1: was the hero for our one oh one to one
Speaker 1: hundred victory over Solisterday and they.
Speaker 3: Pulled it out last second. Yeah, so I meet yesterday.
Speaker 3: It was like what three would you want the On
Speaker 3: the top it was Steph Curry, Kevin Durant and Lebron
Speaker 3: James and on the bottom it was a bird magic
Speaker 3: and Jordan. I'm like, this is the easiest decision I've
Speaker 3: ever made in my entire life.
Speaker 1: Going back to the Olympics, independent countries are now scrambling
Speaker 1: to get their athletes grilled chicken and eggs after they
Speaker 1: ran out within the first two days, including bringing in
Speaker 1: packed meals back to the village for lunch, and then
Speaker 1: are recording the time of London. They are completely out
Speaker 1: of drilled chicken and eggs and the opening ceremonies haven't
Speaker 1: started yet, but they are swimming in fake meat. And yes,
Speaker 1: a decision to include a fifty percent allotment of plant
Speaker 1: based options has proved problematic as the athletes simply aren't
Speaker 1: eating it. Dude, how do you screw this up? You
Speaker 1: know what you get everything you deserve. Uh And the
Speaker 1: US has decided to send in their own chefs so
Speaker 1: as not to use the catering. And they will do
Speaker 1: now independent catering going forward because they're just not going
Speaker 1: to deal with this.
Speaker 2: That is wild man.
Speaker 1: Who you gotta you gotta, you gotta name whoever this idea.
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's the mayor that's for all these bright ideas. Whoever,
Speaker 1: whoever the Mayor of Paris is not. I don't know
Speaker 1: this Nitwitz name, but every one of these bad ideas
Speaker 1: we've seen up to this point has had her name
Speaker 1: on it, even the even the Hey, we're gonna we're
Speaker 1: gonna swim in the uh uh in in the in
Speaker 1: the in the river, and then they had to stop
Speaker 1: it because all the protesters were gonna poop in there.
Speaker 2: What a disaster.
Speaker 1: All right, well, the opening So you know what, now,
Speaker 1: I feel like I should watch the opening ceremonies. We'll
Speaker 1: just see how bad the whole thing can get. Raced
Speaker 1: agic from the Weather Channel. Do you have any interest
Speaker 1: in the Olympics because it's not going well?
Speaker 2: Yes, I do.
Speaker 16: I did watch women's soccer yesterday.
Speaker 2: Okay, yeah, they've already got a cheating scandal there, I know.
Speaker 16: Yeah, they got that going in Canadians.
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, frying on New Zealand.
Speaker 16: Yeah right, right, yeah, And I do it. It's not
Speaker 16: so much the opening ceremonies. It's it's a little drawn
Speaker 16: out for me. I don't have the attention span. It's
Speaker 16: not because I don't think it's but you know, I'm
Speaker 16: looking forward to the break dancing and uh oh, you know,
Speaker 16: things like some of the new things out there. I
Speaker 16: want to see how that goes.
Speaker 2: At least this thing turned into firefest. I'm here for it.
Speaker 1: Well, they ran out of drilled chicken and a's because
Speaker 1: they thought the athletes wanted a vegan diet, which is
Speaker 1: not what athletes want. So no, Norman, somebody's gonna light
Speaker 1: themselves on fire tonight.
Speaker 2: It's happening.
Speaker 11: As a matter of fact.
Speaker 16: It just had some leftover pasta that'll But anyway, nothing,
Speaker 16: nothing at all, You kidding me. I can eat anything
Speaker 16: at any time of the day.
Speaker 11: Just ask me.
Speaker 16: If you're doing stuff outdoors. Maybe it is some outdoor activities.
Speaker 16: The wet weather, we're gonna try and get it out
Speaker 16: of the forecast for the weekend. Still some more showers today, thunderstorms,
Speaker 16: best chance afternoon, but seeing a few showers around town
Speaker 16: right now, mainly down toward the south. And actually I
Speaker 16: missed it earlier. I didn't mention it. There is a
Speaker 16: flood to watch. I'm down to the south some of
Speaker 16: for southern counties. That's for heavier rainfall where it may
Speaker 16: be low mid eighties today, that over the weekend we
Speaker 16: should get some sunshine, temperatures in the low mid eighties,
Speaker 16: could get into the upper eighties and the triangle on Sunday,
Speaker 16: and then the wet weather starts coming back next week.
Speaker 16: But right now looking pretty good for the weekend, let's hope,
Speaker 16: as the showers should push down toward the south of
Speaker 16: US with high pressure to the north.

Speaker 1: thank you for the kickoff, Dan.
Speaker 2: Appreciate it, my pleasure, Casey. All right, there you go.
Speaker 1: I'm Schwartzman, Bloomberg News. So now so I'm sorry the
Speaker 1: video game performers is this how much do they like?
Speaker 1: How much do they make? But they can't they like
Speaker 1: bring in some big names for some of these video games.
Speaker 1: Don't they that like that? Are you know, legitimate like
Speaker 1: big Hollywood actors? But I got to think the majority
Speaker 1: of them are just doing voiceover? Am I wrong on
Speaker 1: this ross when they're developing video games? Or do they
Speaker 1: have like actors come in and like the capture motion?
Speaker 3: Yeah a lot of times now, like the people that
Speaker 3: do the voice will actually do it depends on the
Speaker 3: game and the.
Speaker 1: Character, the little green suit thing the motion yeah right, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right.
Speaker 3: Like when you look at the guy that did the
Speaker 3: voice for Arthur Morgan in Red Dead Redemption Too. He
Speaker 3: looks like Arthur Morgan in the game like you're the
Speaker 3: when your character starts, and he had to like do
Speaker 3: all the motion caption and stuff like that. So it
Speaker 3: really depends on who the actor is and who the
Speaker 3: voice telling is.
Speaker 1: Didn't some okay, so some chick it really mad because
Speaker 1: she did the voice or she was the actor for
Speaker 1: like a zombie dude and she was upset that she
Speaker 1: looked like a zombie.
Speaker 3: Because what they've started doing now is sometimes they're like, oh, well,
Speaker 3: this person or this female is too attractive, and we
Speaker 3: don't want to cater to a certain member of the
Speaker 3: We don't want to make her just we don't want
Speaker 3: to sexualize her, so we needed so we're gonna do
Speaker 3: is We're gonna make it a little fugly and just
Speaker 3: change her face a bit. They did that. I think
Speaker 3: it was for the new what game is it coming out?
Speaker 1: I mean they went super seeing the character, but it
Speaker 1: can of zombies or like dead you know, it's got
Speaker 1: monsters in the game, Like what do you think you're
Speaker 1: gonna look like?
Speaker 2: Now?
Speaker 3: The thing that fables the game of thing, but that's
Speaker 3: the one like where you look at her like the
Speaker 3: woman who did the voice and did the looks like
Speaker 3: she's like a beautiful woman and they just turned her
Speaker 3: into like a messed her up a bit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well it's would you rather have? Would you rather
Speaker 2: have that?
Speaker 1: Or the how the devs like appear in games now right,
Speaker 1: like the really angry feminists. They're just like, oh no,
Speaker 1: that's totally not it's it's you're you're wearing the same shirt.
Speaker 3: Like Spider Man. Yeah, Mary Jane. They're like, why does
Speaker 3: Mary Jane look like so like her face looks wrect
Speaker 3: what happened? And then you like see the dev who
Speaker 3: created the game, and like, you put yourself in the game, dude,
Speaker 3: I mean.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you.
Speaker 3: Every character would be me.
Speaker 2: It'd be like just just did a different outfit just
Speaker 2: in the matrix.
Speaker 1: And uh, by the way, real quick, because people are like,
Speaker 1: you know, Casey, understand your frustration with the Olympics, but
Speaker 1: does everything have to be negative?
Speaker 2: No? And it won't be Look if we get to.
Speaker 1: Do a touchdown dance on China's face, I'm all here,
Speaker 1: I'm here for it.
Speaker 12: Uh.
Speaker 1: But the lead up and everything has been going sideways
Speaker 1: thus far, okay, and and screw the Olympic Committee. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this. So we got awarded
Speaker 1: the Winter Olympics twenty thirty four. It's going to be
Speaker 1: in Salt Lake two days ago, two days ago, and
Speaker 1: now the internet. The Olympic Committee is threatening to withdraw
Speaker 1: it unless we sign a contract saying that we will
Speaker 1: not independently investigate through our DOJ or through our own
Speaker 1: Olympic Committee doping allegations against China, which I don't know
Speaker 1: if you know, is a big thing. So they want
Speaker 1: us to sign away our ability to investigate independently China's
Speaker 1: rampant cheating, which is a problem every year ever, I
Speaker 1: guess every four years or every two years. That's the
Speaker 1: amount of flex these people have. And they can't even
Speaker 1: feed athletes right now. So yeah, on some of this stuff,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be negative because there is corrupt as
Speaker 1: FIFA probably more so, and we'll highlight it, but also
Speaker 1: when we kick in other countries.
Speaker 2: But we'll do the ro Bra
