Speaker 1: Ross and I right after the show, I record a
Speaker 1: promo right and part of that is do we have
Speaker 1: any guest scheduled? What stories do I think will roll over?
Speaker 1: What will still be of interest? And you know, this
Speaker 1: week it's it's drones and pardons. Really, I mean, that's
Speaker 1: really what's driving things. So admittedly, that's kind of what
Speaker 1: I predicted on. We got obviously some state stuff with
Speaker 1: the you know, the lawsuits are coming now, and we
Speaker 1: had the you know, Cooper and Stein had their little
Speaker 1: press conference yesterday. Stein's trying to figure out if he'll
Speaker 1: try to block Tom Homan and immigration folks in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: I'd like to see that. It's not really up to him,
Speaker 1: but you know, you gotta have a press conference. He
Speaker 1: look tough there, so I will give him credit. He
Speaker 1: didn't come out and say he would, so maybe he's
Speaker 1: going to be smarter than some of his counterparts on this.
Speaker 1: I mean, don't get me wrong. They'll still there's still
Speaker 1: be wild protests and he'll probably go walking around like
Speaker 1: Roy Cooper did. These are my predictions. But what I
Speaker 1: did not have in my bingo card yesterday was this.
Speaker 2: And.
Speaker 3: I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped,
Speaker 3: mean when they didn't.
Speaker 1: That's Crystal Mangum remember her? Remember her? Ross? Were you
Speaker 1: here when that happened? I was not. I missed it
Speaker 1: by a little bit. Were you already in North Carolina
Speaker 1: when that happened? Maybe not in Raleigh, but maybe it's
Speaker 1: your other gig. I'm trying to remember what year. I
Speaker 1: honestly can't remember. Yeah, well, duke across here, hold on
Speaker 1: it looked this up. It's probably in this story, but
Speaker 1: I'm remember at my audio page, it's easier across right eight. Okay,
Speaker 1: well not rape. So that would have been two thousand
Speaker 1: and six. Two thousand and six, Yeah, I was in
Speaker 1: I was in Minneapolis at that time. So but obviously,
Speaker 1: even even broadcasting up there, it was you know, it
Speaker 1: was basically the top story. But what was a lot
Speaker 1: more fascinating is then coming to North Carolina? Was that
Speaker 1: twenty ten? January twenty ten we launched, Yeah, something like
Speaker 1: that coming to North Carolina and talking to people lay
Speaker 1: This is why I tell folks if there's a story
Speaker 1: going on. And Twitter's very helpful with this a lot
Speaker 1: of times, but you can just do this with a
Speaker 1: simple search. If there's a story going on, and it's
Speaker 1: one that's got a bunch of layers. It's always, in
Speaker 1: my opinion, it's always much more fascinating as an extra
Speaker 1: angle to go to figure out whatever the local TV
Speaker 1: and newspapers and radio and whatever is in that market
Speaker 1: and listen to their reporting and read it and consume it.
Speaker 1: A lot of times provided vastly more information that, for
Speaker 1: whatever reason, not that some of them might be partisan,
Speaker 1: don't get picked up by the national media. So you know,
Speaker 1: you may be living somewhere watching a story unfold, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure we can cite examples, and then all of
Speaker 1: a sudden you see the national reporting, You're like, do
Speaker 1: they even have a person here? I think maybe Hurricane
Speaker 1: Helene might be a good example of that. So local
Speaker 1: reporting's crazy. That being said, I did consume some of
Speaker 1: the local reporting because that's the way I do things,
Speaker 1: and it looked every bit is bad. And like the
Speaker 1: eighty eight professors who signed the leg because this is,
Speaker 1: by the way, is this is why I laughed when
Speaker 1: they do all this stuff to Trump, because this is
Speaker 1: like this old thing that they love to do. All right, Well,
Speaker 1: we have fifty one intelligence officials that say that that
Speaker 1: laptop is a Russian disinformation which and of itself was
Speaker 1: a disinformation thing. So a certain amount of irony there,
Speaker 1: I guess, but that's really how it felt here. And
Speaker 1: we had some we had some media in North Carolina,
Speaker 1: and we had some politicians, and we had some activists.
Speaker 1: Probably should apologize today because you all were Mike knife on.
Speaker 1: So that's what I want to do today. I want
Speaker 1: to provide that opportunity for you to apologize need be,
Speaker 1: So I'll let you know how we're going to do that.
Speaker 1: Set up the secret apology phone line or something. Yeah,
Speaker 1: just absolute lunacy, man, But I want to provide that
Speaker 1: opportunity on the show today. If you were one of
Speaker 1: these media folks who got you know, over your skis,
Speaker 1: or you are a politician who decided you were going
Speaker 1: to go use this to advance your career and destroy
Speaker 1: people's lives who were merely accused of something and also
Speaker 1: accused of something that the whole thing seem like it
Speaker 1: just didn't sit right with the narrative that prosecutors were wanting.
Speaker 1: I'm going to provide you the opportunity on the show
Speaker 1: to apologize today. So if you want to call in today,
Speaker 1: and be like, oh, I got it wrong, I got
Speaker 1: it wrong. We'll allow that for you. Get that off
Speaker 1: your soul. Save for the soul, as they say, cleanse,
Speaker 1: cleanse the guilt that must live within you for destroying
Speaker 1: and maybe not accomplishing the full destruction, but really doing
Speaker 1: so for their formative years, the lives of these young men,
Speaker 1: because they happen to be pro bros, right or you know,
Speaker 1: the rich frat looking dudes. You know, all the people
Speaker 1: that you really detested. And he didn't like it because
Speaker 1: they went to Duke and they probably had some money,
Speaker 1: and they were good at sports, and they were you know,
Speaker 1: decent looking guys and that was enough. That's you know,
Speaker 1: that is the that's the way we do things in
Speaker 1: this country. Man, build people up and then tear them down.
Speaker 1: If you think they're at a stage higher than you.
Speaker 1: It's to eat the rich mentality. And they were willing
Speaker 1: to do it. And of course then you had the
Speaker 1: racial component. It wasn't just socioeconomic. It wasn't rich you know,
Speaker 1: Duke students who hired a stripper who's just trying to
Speaker 1: make ends meet, and Durham and took advantage of her.
Speaker 1: You had the racial component, and so here comes here
Speaker 1: comes mister tracksuit and bullhorn in mister mister bobblehead Al Sharpton,
Speaker 1: although he wasn't Bobblehead at that moment. It was pre
Speaker 1: Bobblehead days. And he came down, and everybody came down,
Speaker 1: and everybody had thoughts, and Nifing was doing his thing,
Speaker 1: and the professors were throwing their own students under the bus,
Speaker 1: and none of it mattered, None of it mattered whether
Speaker 1: it was true, because the allegations were just so good.
Speaker 1: Can I tell you one of the things that I did.
Speaker 1: I mentioned this on the show. When I first came
Speaker 1: down here. I made a point on my weekends to
Speaker 1: drive around familiarize myself right with the cities, the various
Speaker 1: cities that I broadcast in see. At first this was Triangle.
Speaker 1: So let's go, let's go out and see it. Yeah.
Speaker 1: One of the things I want to just go see
Speaker 1: Duke University. I want to go see the chapel iconic.
Speaker 1: I'd seen photos of it, I'd never been there. It's gorgeous,
Speaker 1: very cool. But I also want to go see the house, right,
Speaker 1: And so I figured out where that was and drove
Speaker 1: by pretty unassuming but I think it's gone now, right.
Speaker 1: So that was my little tour of one of my
Speaker 1: little Durham tour items because it was still so fresh
Speaker 1: in what was going on even years later. So Crystal
Speaker 1: Mangham is now remember she is in prison because of
Speaker 1: another incident with her boyfriend and spire and somebody died
Speaker 1: and all of that. So she's had some time to think.
Speaker 1: And here's how I want to approach. I'm gonna play
Speaker 1: the rest of our audio here. Just know again, I
Speaker 1: just want to set up the I'm Sorry hotline eight
Speaker 1: eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. I
Speaker 1: want to call in and tell the world you're sorry
Speaker 1: and you got it wrong. I think that would be
Speaker 1: a big step. I mean because really, in a way,
Speaker 1: it's uh, you know, uh, if you bore false witness,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you know, that's a thing that
Speaker 1: can get you in a little trouble down the road. Okay,
Speaker 1: So we'll do that. But Mangum going back to Mangum,
Speaker 1: So she did an interview and I guess just decided, Hey,
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go ahead and get this off my chest.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get this off my chest, and you know me,
Speaker 1: that'll make me feel better and let me throw this
Speaker 1: out there too, because I'm watching the interview. I'm watching
Speaker 1: this clip and I'm thinking to myself, all right, you know,
Speaker 1: she's had a lot of time to reflect. It's been
Speaker 1: almost twenty years. That's a that's a that's a lifetime.
Speaker 1: And obviously there's you know, there's what brought her there,
Speaker 1: what caused her to think that, Hey, this is a
Speaker 1: good idea, I'll go do this. I'm sure people feeding
Speaker 1: into it. Oh it's okay. No, those are evil boys,
Speaker 1: those are even Don't worry. We'll get them whatever it takes.
Speaker 1: As we saw, we saw all of these things. And
Speaker 1: then you know, you sit there and you and you
Speaker 1: start reflecting on the decisions that you've made, bad decisions.
Speaker 1: And I guess the question is can you forgive her
Speaker 1: if she's genuinely sorry, if you're one of these guys,
Speaker 1: or maybe just you the public right because of the
Speaker 1: turmoil that she created within your community. Again, I didn't
Speaker 1: live here at the time. I can't speak to it.
Speaker 1: Here is here is the longer version of this.
Speaker 3: And I testified falsely against them by saying that they
Speaker 3: raped me when they didn't, and that was wrong. And
Speaker 3: I betrayed the trust of a lot of other people
Speaker 3: who believed.
Speaker 4: In me.
Speaker 3: And made up a story that wasn't true because I
Speaker 3: wanted a validation from people and not from God.
Speaker 1: Okay, And so she's intimating there, and I don't know.
Speaker 1: You know, people go to prison, some people find religion.
Speaker 1: Some people say they found religion, but some people do.
Speaker 1: I know somebody who was in jail for a felony
Speaker 1: who is literally a pastor at a church, but it was,
Speaker 1: you know, it was it was decades literally decades ago,
Speaker 1: so that you you, you can do that, you can
Speaker 1: turn it around. Even if he did horrible stuff, and
Speaker 1: he did he hit and killed somebody. He wasn't drunk,
Speaker 1: but he fell asleep. So yeah, yeah, I mean it's
Speaker 1: available there, but holy hell, man, And again I wasn't here.
Speaker 1: So I'm sure some of you can speak to it,
Speaker 1: but I really want those to call in who frankly
Speaker 1: were part of the persecution, or you may be called prosecution.
Speaker 1: But I'm more hung up on the persecution because I
Speaker 1: don't think Mike Nifon, for obvious reasons, is calling in.
Speaker 1: So you tell me, oh, wait, hold on, is this
Speaker 1: a bill? What's up?
Speaker 5: Good morning, sir William.
Speaker 4: Oh do you think the Reverend William Barber will be
Speaker 4: calling in and apologize? And more so, will they return
Speaker 4: all the money that he got on the false precertive?
Speaker 1: Well, I don't. I can't speak to the money. I
Speaker 1: don't know what the totals are, but I wouldn't be
Speaker 1: surprised if some funds were raised that frankly were not
Speaker 1: given back by many many folks there. So I can't
Speaker 1: speak to that. But no, I don't think he'll call
Speaker 1: in and apologize. We have the in a hotline. He can.
Speaker 1: I we're here for I know he's all because they're
Speaker 1: you know, they're doing the moral Monday thing again, so
Speaker 1: who knows.
Speaker 6: Who knows around?
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's what I said. I said what I said?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: All right, all right? And by the way, you got
Speaker 1: his name wrong. That he is Reverend soul Glow, the
Speaker 1: Bufface Layer, as we call him here on the show.
Speaker 1: So get it right, sir, get it right. I recognize
Speaker 1: your voice. There's no excuse, all right? Six nineteen Hang
Speaker 1: on is the Cacoda Radio program? Jeez man speaking a duke?
Speaker 6: Really?
Speaker 5: So?
Speaker 1: Bill Belichick held his first press conference yesterday as the
Speaker 1: UNC coach, and I didnt get a look at his
Speaker 1: contracts pretty interesting, It's actually pretty interesting. It's it is.
Speaker 1: Uh it's interesting too because it read a lot like
Speaker 1: a radio contract, where it's a lot of it's incentive.
Speaker 1: So you all think they just hand us a bunch
Speaker 1: of money, but in reality, like a lot of jobs,
Speaker 1: you are, you're very incentivized by production, but even sometimes
Speaker 1: very specifically so and uh so, I mean, yeah, it's
Speaker 1: a bunch of money. And if they if it doesn't
Speaker 1: work in the first like three years and they fire them,
Speaker 1: I think they have to pay him out ten million
Speaker 1: just to fire them, but then it's one one million
Speaker 1: after that. But yeah, is he getting paid a crap
Speaker 1: ton of money?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Is he the highest paid coach? And co No, but
Speaker 1: if he wins, he could be mathematically and then you know,
Speaker 1: there's the standard stuff in there, like he can you know,
Speaker 1: do he can like run camps for kids, which a
Speaker 1: lot of coaches do, and then that's just money they
Speaker 1: put in their pocket. That's that's that's pretty regular. I'm
Speaker 1: not I'm not even crapping on that. The thing looks fine.
Speaker 1: But then at the press conference, Belichick told everyone that
Speaker 1: his first words as a baby were beat duke, And
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm out. You're not out on the whole thing,
Speaker 1: but I'm out on the press. Don't believe it that
Speaker 1: the child's first words were actually two and then they
Speaker 1: were specifically that. I don't know, man. Now, to be fair,
Speaker 1: he said his parents told him that. So there's a
Speaker 1: little plausible deniability. What were your first words being detained?
Speaker 1: Go bills? Just stop it.
Speaker 2: You ever see the Belichick baby photos? No, no, I
Speaker 2: have never seen the Belichick baby photos. No, he's got
Speaker 2: the little cut off hoodie.
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're being serious or not. A
Speaker 1: little baby cut off arms. Okay, they cut off the
Speaker 1: baby's arms. That's no, no, no, no, no, no the
Speaker 1: hoey oh okay, all right? Who they swaddled him in
Speaker 1: that thing? You say, because he got better as as
Speaker 1: did that guy got turned to a newt. So okay,
Speaker 1: I swaddled him in that. They didn't swaddle him in
Speaker 1: a cafea like the baby Jesus at the Nativity seeing
Speaker 1: the pope was kneeling in front of I just have
Speaker 1: a film, man. The Belichick thing is going to implode. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: no thing, whatever it is, I don't think it goes neutrally,
Speaker 1: do you know what I'm saying right ros that they
Speaker 1: claim that there's a secret agreement and this has been
Speaker 1: portrayed in movies where like the governments of the world
Speaker 1: have basically acquiesced to the aliens so they get to
Speaker 1: you know, butt probe fifteen hundred people a year. You've
Speaker 1: seen that narrative, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Yeah, there's something called like Majestic six. I think
Speaker 2: it was called right where they first made contact that
Speaker 2: believe it like Roosevelt, like a like, no, was it, No,
Speaker 2: it wasn't Roosevelt.
Speaker 1: It was Truman, Truman's administration. Yeah, And so you know,
Speaker 1: the narrative is we basically allow them a certain number
Speaker 1: of abductees and because we don't really have a choice. Okay,
Speaker 1: with that in mind, if it is something like that,
Speaker 1: I'm I'm I'm on the same page. You gotta direct
Speaker 1: them to where you want them to pit, you know,
Speaker 1: to get samples. I've never understood why, like because they're like, oh,
Speaker 1: you know, the alien abducted the farmer and mutilated his cows.
Speaker 1: And I'm not picking on farmers, but like, you know,
Speaker 1: there's also the idea, you know, maybe they're just wanting
Speaker 1: to see if we shouldn't have our planet obliterated, right,
Speaker 1: because like that narrative and that and that horrible Keanu
Speaker 1: Reeves remake from years ago where it's like, I'm here
Speaker 1: to test whether humanity should be you know, incinerated, right,
Speaker 1: and you got to convince him you're good. What do
Speaker 1: you think the possibility of them grambing five randos from
Speaker 1: the Jersey Shore area is gonna be?
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like, if these things over
Speaker 2: New Jersey are extraterrestrial, they're aliens, and they decided, like
Speaker 2: the first place they come down to make contact is
Speaker 2: New Jersey. If that's their representation of mankind, we are
Speaker 2: all gonna die.
Speaker 1: Yeah, pack it in, pack it in. And like the alien,
Speaker 1: the first clue is gonna be either gonna you know,
Speaker 1: grab Snooky and whoever else or whatever, and like they'll
Speaker 1: start probe. And first she's into it, right, absolutely, So
Speaker 1: she goes to third base with the aliens on day one, right,
Speaker 1: so yeah, I don't we're Yeah, that's that's not good.
Speaker 1: And then I was thinking maybe they get Snooky And
Speaker 1: then that Bagel remember the bagel boss guy who's got
Speaker 1: a real hang up about his hype. But then I
Speaker 1: remember that's Long Island, so they'd have to do a
Speaker 1: little moving around. I was thinking, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Driving into work today, I was thinking, because when you
Speaker 2: see in the movies, right, they always make contact around
Speaker 2: like DC or New York City or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they cover the big cities, populated area.
Speaker 2: But as an alien, if your goal was to be
Speaker 2: was to make first contact with another species, I don't
Speaker 2: think you'd want to have her over a big city
Speaker 2: like that because of the chaos that could ensue, right,
Speaker 2: because people can go crazy and start shooting or rioting,
Speaker 2: or it's the end. I think if you're the alien
Speaker 2: and your goal was to have a successful first contact,
Speaker 2: you'd want to land and say, like an open field
Speaker 2: in Nebraska or Kansas or something.
Speaker 1: Sit there.
Speaker 2: Just however, make it known that you're there, make it
Speaker 2: very obvious. But let people come to you.
Speaker 1: I think, although it to be fair, I think you
Speaker 1: also get shot at ya you land for rural field story, right?
Speaker 1: I just I know the guys I grew up with,
Speaker 1: they'd be like, whoa, let's go boys, right, But that's
Speaker 1: what a rival did, remember the end the Rival that
Speaker 1: movie from a few years ago. They landed in that
Speaker 1: field of Montana, right, and everyone had to go to them,
Speaker 1: which is dumb if you think, like, if you do
Speaker 1: want to land landing in the in a field in
Speaker 1: like Montana or Wyoming or something like that, that's where
Speaker 1: all the missiles are.
Speaker 2: So I mean, if they're peaceful and they've come all
Speaker 2: this way, odds are their their defenses are going to
Speaker 2: be fine.
Speaker 1: And if no, no, no no, But here's what I mean. No, no, no,
Speaker 1: I understand that. But also here's what I mean. And
Speaker 1: it's just this goes on top of it. They make
Speaker 1: the decision like in Independence Day where they're like, well,
Speaker 1: we got to nuke the ship Goodbye Houston. Right, that's
Speaker 1: a bigger decision than uh, trying to nuke something in
Speaker 1: a field Montana population like five hundred. Yeah.
Speaker 2: But I mean, if you just land there and you're
Speaker 2: not being violent in anyway, you're just like, hey, we're here,
Speaker 2: we want to say hi. You can come at your
Speaker 2: own pace. As opposed to causing mass chaos in the city.
Speaker 1: You know, it would be great too, because they would land.
Speaker 1: They're like, Trump's gonna get us all killed, and then
Speaker 1: like the next day. He's having like photo ops with
Speaker 1: them and they can do they have two thumbs so
Speaker 1: they can double thumbs up. It'd be amazing. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: they'd come out. They're likeaking the field. They're very peaceful.
Speaker 2: They come out, they show their space boobs that we
Speaker 2: talked about yesterday in the show, and it's a world
Speaker 2: peace from there, we come in.
Speaker 1: Peace these So yeah, dude, that would be so that
Speaker 1: would be so funny. Let me tell you. Can you
Speaker 1: imagine you saw that clip yesterday if Trump reading the
Speaker 1: opening bell, because right, you had to dub it in
Speaker 1: and then him going around the stock exchange or whatever,
Speaker 1: but there is that, there's that The clip that was
Speaker 1: then run on all the news yesterday is not just
Speaker 1: Donald Trump ringing the opening bell, but he's flanked by
Speaker 1: giant I'm assuming those are big video screens, but giant
Speaker 1: imagery of his Time magazine photo shoot for a Man
Speaker 1: of the Year. So now your stage five TDS, you've
Speaker 1: been trying to figure out all day which healthcare CEO
Speaker 1: you want to threaten the murder and you're just trying
Speaker 1: to get a little rest bit in even CNN. Even
Speaker 1: CNN is showing that he is so.
Speaker 7: Involved in trying to understand well creation, that's what we
Speaker 7: talked about all fat and I know that there's obviously
Speaker 7: non disclosure about being in a kind as judge. But
Speaker 7: the man is fascinated by the stock market, as fascinated
Speaker 7: as the current president is not.
Speaker 8: He is no longer just a TV star. He's the
Speaker 8: incoming leader of the free world. He's going to ring
Speaker 8: the bell here in about twenty seconds and historic moments
Speaker 8: at the New York Stock Exchange as we get this
Speaker 8: opening goldlong by the President elect Donald Trumpy.
Speaker 6: Oh, they love it.
Speaker 1: They love when he's when he goes down to walk
Speaker 1: the floor. That is it is old school rock star
Speaker 1: groupie stuff going on. Man and Vance is down there too,
Speaker 1: and they're just cutting up with them, are making money.
Speaker 1: They love him well, of course the evil stock guys
Speaker 1: do well maybe, but also like the financial you know
Speaker 1: financial the big financial companies, these guys are trading for
Speaker 1: a good chunk of them are are almost primarily Democrat donors, right,
Speaker 1: and they got they got woke CEOs and and all
Speaker 1: the rest. And this is the part people don't understand.
Speaker 1: I mean, sure, the money is great. You can get
Speaker 1: it for your campaign coffers, so you can literally waste
Speaker 1: it as fast as Brewster dreamed of, like the Hairs
Speaker 1: campaign did. But at the end of the day, these
Speaker 1: guys that are just down there trade, they love the
Speaker 1: guy I love it, they love Vance any of the
Speaker 1: rest of it. You can say that they love them
Speaker 1: out of greed, but then you're gonna have to call
Speaker 1: the majority of US voters greedy. And by the way,
Speaker 1: voting for your own financial interest is also sometimes voting
Speaker 1: for your own personal interest. Well, it always is to
Speaker 1: some extent, but sometimes it's it's much purer than you think.
Speaker 1: Oh they're greedy, they want more money. I don't know,
Speaker 1: maybe they want to be able to feed their kids.
Speaker 1: And I'm not talking about stock trader guys that probably
Speaker 1: make a decent, decent money. But like it. These are
Speaker 1: all the people that voted for him, and it's them,
Speaker 1: but it's also the people he was encountering in McDonald's
Speaker 1: when he was slinging fries. They're going through the drive through.
Speaker 1: Remember the guy, I got an extra nugget. I don't
Speaker 1: think Trump actually put it in there, just you know,
Speaker 1: if people are just having fun, man, But and you know, ironically,
Speaker 1: they were having fun sometimes in finally going you know what,
Speaker 1: I've had enough of your crap. I've tried to be
Speaker 1: a good soldier. I've kept my mouth shut, but now
Speaker 1: I'm here to tell you I'm voting for Trump. And
Speaker 1: that's why you have these these people coming out of
Speaker 1: the shadows. That's why you have the normalization of so
Speaker 1: many of these things. While a handful of news anchors
Speaker 1: run around, they just can't understand it. Pete Hegseth. I
Speaker 1: think did a good job in explaining exactly where these
Speaker 1: people wringing their hands are on the pecking order right.
Speaker 6: Now the military.
Speaker 1: Yes, he said, can you just respond to the CNN
Speaker 1: report this morning? It was highlighting some of your previous comments.
Speaker 1: I don't feel the need to respond to you are
Speaker 1: hungrble with Dave, people who could be surveying. Did you
Speaker 1: hear what I said there? Yeah, dude, I like the
Speaker 1: way he dealt with that. He wasn't rude. He wasn't rude,
Speaker 1: but he also he had zero zero and with as
Speaker 1: as I probably say, too much, but he was having
Speaker 1: none of it. And why should he after the crap
Speaker 1: the pro public have pulled, will go through all of
Speaker 1: this stuff? What that thing's crazy. But he's just he's
Speaker 1: just like, no, I don't I don't respond to CNN.
Speaker 1: And that's it. That's how you do it. You don't
Speaker 1: respond to It's like I tell people, don't talk too
Speaker 1: wr L not if it's a partisan thing, talk to
Speaker 1: him about I don't know, golf or something. Fine, But
Speaker 1: if it's a partisan thing, what what benefit do you have?
Speaker 1: And that theory, I don't want to pat myself on
Speaker 1: the back because I think it was pretty obvious, but
Speaker 1: that theory proved true. They have no power here. They
Speaker 1: got a little bit of power because remember it's undeniable
Speaker 1: that they were able to get that Harris enthusiasm thing
Speaker 1: ramped up and and it it did swing. But the
Speaker 1: question is how much that was just people just happy
Speaker 1: to have another option on that side who were overly
Speaker 1: enthusiastic and then it never panned out, because that's how
Speaker 1: that's what it looks like. So absolutely, man, absolutely, and
Speaker 1: Trump's just walk around the stock exshit. Remember they they
Speaker 1: thought this guy would be in jail right now, probably dead.
Speaker 1: Probably he's gonna go to jail, and he wouldn't be
Speaker 1: long for this world. I saw those predictions and the
Speaker 1: dudes the USA are on the floor of the Stock Exchange,
Speaker 1: and there was one little cool thing. Let me just
Speaker 1: throw this in here too. I did not realize this actually,
Speaker 1: so listen to this fun fact. Trump's Trump's gonna get
Speaker 1: told by I guess one of the Stock Exchange ladies,
Speaker 1: you will be.
Speaker 6: The job.
Speaker 8: In March twenty nineteen five, were he addressed, Yes, it's
Speaker 8: a great honor to have you.
Speaker 1: You're telling me that a president of the United States
Speaker 1: hasn't rung the New York Stock Exchange bell since nineteen
Speaker 1: eighty five. Bill Clinton never wandered down there. Bush either,
Speaker 1: Bush I swear, I swear George Bush had to have
Speaker 1: rung the opening bell, right, I understand why Democrats may
Speaker 1: have wanted to stay for it, even though they're now
Speaker 1: the party of Wall Street. That's that's that's pretty interesting.
Speaker 1: I did not know that. And of course Trump was
Speaker 1: just gobbling that up. He loved that. Ah, yeah, you
Speaker 1: know obviously with the Raking connection there. So yeah, man,
Speaker 1: yesterday was a it was a strange day all around.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, all right, let's go ahead and do this,
Speaker 1: because now we're into the FAFO, A portion of everybody
Speaker 1: wants to assassinate CEOs or healthcare people or whatever it is.
Speaker 1: The problem is, you gotta remember where you live and
Speaker 1: I'll fill that in for you coming up next here
Speaker 1: on the CaCO Day Radio program phone number eight eight
Speaker 1: eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. And a
Speaker 1: special reminder for all of the members of the media, politicians,
Speaker 1: local activists, and others who decided that they were were
Speaker 1: going to crucify the Duke Lacrosse Boys, and even in
Speaker 1: the face of overwhelming, mounting evidence that maybe at the
Speaker 1: very least the story isn't one hundred percent accurate. And
Speaker 1: you eighty eight professors, some of which still teach over
Speaker 1: at Duke, I just want you to know you have
Speaker 1: priority this morning to call the show and give us
Speaker 1: your you know, don't apologize, get right on this as
Speaker 1: they say. Okay, I'm not gonna mock you, I'm not
Speaker 1: gonna yell at you, but it's an important first step.
Speaker 1: You have to admit you have a problem or in
Speaker 1: this case, we're part of the problem. So eight eight
Speaker 1: eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Ross has
Speaker 1: already been told if you called your first, we put
Speaker 1: you up first. So I'm sure we'll have busy phones
Speaker 1: on that. Also coming up on the show eight h five,
Speaker 1: we'll chat with Pete Callaner. I'm sure he has some thoughts,
Speaker 1: as I believe he was actually a news reporter during
Speaker 1: this time. I'm trying to remember the dates he told
Speaker 1: me was. Yeah, I think he would have been a
Speaker 1: news reporter, not in the Triangle, but maybe Charlotte at
Speaker 1: the time. So I can't wait. And I didn't him.
Speaker 1: I didn't talk to him intentionally because I just want
Speaker 1: to kind of cold have this discussion in front of you,
Speaker 1: so we'll pick his brain on the story. If you
Speaker 1: haven't heard, you're just waking up. Even though she's sitting
Speaker 1: in prison for a boyfriend murder, Crystal Mangam doing a
Speaker 1: podcast yesterday. Well I don't know what she did it,
Speaker 1: but it came out yesterday and it's pretty definitive.
Speaker 3: I testified falsely against them by saying that they raped
Speaker 3: me when they didn't, and that was wrong. And I
Speaker 3: betrayed the trust of a lot of other people who
Speaker 3: believed in me and made up a story that wasn't
Speaker 3: true because I wanted a validation from people and not
Speaker 3: from God.
Speaker 1: Okay, and again I don't know the sincerity or nonsincerity
Speaker 1: or any of it. I mean, she she sounds reflective there.
Speaker 1: But and here's the other thing too, because I saw
Speaker 1: people going, she's only saying it to get out. How
Speaker 1: would that work? Like it's usually you have to have
Speaker 1: information or or something like everybody knows what's up now,
Speaker 1: So like that's not tradable. And for those saying that
Speaker 1: she should be charged with something, it's my understanding that
Speaker 1: per would be I guess the most likely charge, and
Speaker 1: the statute limitations has gone on that, so maybe there's
Speaker 1: a who knows, maybe there's something creatively, and so I
Speaker 1: don't know that she has anything to win or anything
Speaker 1: to lose there, But you know, it's that final affirmation
Speaker 1: of what happened again even though we you know, we
Speaker 1: all knew what happened. Everybody knew what was up man
Speaker 1: pretty quick, and it was just those who chose not
Speaker 1: to back off on it, who decided that they were
Speaker 1: going to make these guys a special project out of
Speaker 1: these guys. And then before you know it, here come
Speaker 1: the activists and their fundraising and their holding press conferences.
Speaker 1: The whole the whole thing is just an embarrassment. And
Speaker 1: the only person to ever pay a price for it
Speaker 1: was a knifong. But I shouldn't say that. When I
Speaker 1: say pay a price, I mean not on the boy's side.
Speaker 1: Obviously they paid a price. Sure there was settlements that
Speaker 1: they ended up with, but for years they were just
Speaker 1: they were the evil rich guys who raped that poor
Speaker 1: stripper at Duke. The amount of stigma attached to that
Speaker 1: is the fact that they thrive. They were able to thrive,
Speaker 1: if you know, and do other collegiate endeavors and actually
Speaker 1: do pretty a couple of them. I was reading about
Speaker 1: pretty pretty well in business. But what a tough what
Speaker 1: a much tougher road. And what's crazy is we get
Speaker 1: this in our head where it's like, well, yeah, so
Speaker 1: they did have a tougher road, but they've always had
Speaker 1: such an easy road, so it's fair. And now you're
Speaker 1: into this, this devastating doom loop of equity, and you
Speaker 1: just got out ahead of them actually using the word
Speaker 1: it's not good. Ask yourself why. A forty three year
Speaker 1: old mother of three in Florida yesterday, who was frustrated
Speaker 1: by Blue Cross Blue Shield was sitting in a courtroom
Speaker 1: listening to the charges be read against her because she
Speaker 1: threatened to kill the Blue Cross Blue Shield people. And
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I'll play the audio for im have to
Speaker 1: do it, just kick off the next hour. But I
Speaker 1: want to get into this story first. You're in the
Speaker 1: state of Florida. That's not gonna work well for you.
Speaker 1: There we go, there we go, a little take a Bellain.
Speaker 1: It's the scariest thing. Well, it's not the scariest thing
Speaker 1: I have on my main button bar. I think that's
Speaker 1: probably DRU that or GTSD this or this. We din't
Speaker 1: get enough use o this this week, DAWs. That's an
Speaker 1: old that's an old S and L bit with Eddie Murphy.
Speaker 1: They come to a VFW as a reggae band and
Speaker 1: that's the song they start singing. As you can imagine,
Speaker 1: people get a little clenchy in the shorts there. And
Speaker 1: that's from a crazy story from earlier this week where
Speaker 1: a sports bar in Georgia, which is uh, you know,
Speaker 1: like a pretty white rule working class hangout kind of
Speaker 1: on the outskirts of Atlanta there, and you know, we
Speaker 1: get a lot of pickup trucks and motorcycles and cash
Speaker 1: only beer and that kind of stuff. And they're like
Speaker 1: let's bring in a band to sing about killing white people.
Speaker 1: And of course it went full barroom brawl or barroom
Speaker 1: blitz or whatever. So yes, yeah I didn't I didn't
Speaker 1: go well, but we did not get enough use out
Speaker 1: of that this week. All right, So a couple things.
Speaker 1: It's it's an interesting it's interesting when you start analyzing
Speaker 1: why people do things, especially things that seem pretty predictable.
Speaker 1: And uh, let's start in it from a national perspective.
Speaker 1: The amount of people this week that have gotten really
Speaker 1: comfortable with saying things like, well, sure, yeah, I know
Speaker 1: you probably shouldn't murder people, but some people need to
Speaker 1: be murdered, which, by the way, I can get on that,
Speaker 1: I can get aboard that. Remember that was the beef
Speaker 1: with Mark Robinson. Remember when he said that he's like,
Speaker 1: some people need killing, and he was talking about child
Speaker 1: molesters and people who would do it, and also film
Speaker 1: pornography and traffic chill. That's who he was talking about.
Speaker 1: And then we had to and then the media all
Speaker 1: played done. They're like, oh no, no, he just he's
Speaker 1: he wants he's got a hit list, he wants to
Speaker 1: murder everybody, all his political opponents. It's really the same
Speaker 1: garbage you're hearing with Trump there, right, He's coming for everybody.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: So but then you know, the tables return and we're
Speaker 1: having this conversation where you know, people like elected officials,
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren, aoc Esday and others are trying to morally
Speaker 1: or at least say that they morally understand it. And
Speaker 1: the problem is when it comes to things where it's
Speaker 1: more than it's now more than words, at least the
Speaker 1: idea like it's happened, and with all the people around
Speaker 1: that gobble all this stuff up and can be influenced
Speaker 1: to try to do these things, shouldn't be any surprise
Speaker 1: that other folks down the food chain, who maybe you're
Speaker 1: not even that activist in nature, start having a certain
Speaker 1: comfort level with it. You know why, because it speaks
Speaker 1: to a frustration they have. It speaks to a frustration.
Speaker 1: They're frustrated because maybe they themselves have been denied some
Speaker 1: health care and maybe right or wrongly sow and they
Speaker 1: are in the right, and they get frustrated. When people
Speaker 1: get frustrated, they get amped. But there's certain lines you
Speaker 1: don't cross because even your subconsciousness, like you just don't
Speaker 1: do that Okay, there's these other channels. So why would
Speaker 1: as this woman down in Florida is being painted, why
Speaker 1: would a frustrated but you know mom of three and
Speaker 1: or mid forties decide to do this the nature of.
Speaker 7: The threats, we would also be asking for GPS or
Speaker 7: house arrest conditions to protect the community.
Speaker 9: With her head in her hands, Brianna Boston learned she
Speaker 9: would be held in jail on one hundred thousand dollars bond,
Speaker 9: the Pole County judge, adding the bond was appropriate given
Speaker 9: the quote status of our country.
Speaker 10: It's not like she's a child. She's forty two years old,
Speaker 10: you know, so we're not nlings a child here. She
Speaker 10: should certainly know better.
Speaker 9: Lakeland Police Chief Sam Taylor says his department was contacted
Speaker 9: by the FBI Tuesday. Authorities say in a recorded phone
Speaker 9: call about a denied insurance claim, Boston told a Blue
Speaker 9: Cross Blue Shield employee, quote delay denied to pose. You
Speaker 9: people are next end quote. The language matches the words
Speaker 9: police say were written on the shell casings found at
Speaker 9: the United Healthcare CEO's murder scene in New York City.
Speaker 10: We will take this very seriously, and we will put
Speaker 10: you in jail if you do something like this, it
Speaker 10: is not a joke.
Speaker 9: According to Boston's affidavit, the mother of three told police
Speaker 9: she did not own firearms and was not a danger
Speaker 9: to anyone, but she added healthcare companies played games and
Speaker 9: deserved karma because they are evil.
Speaker 1: Ask yourself, why would a woman who clearly is referencing
Speaker 1: what with the deny, you know whatever, the things that
Speaker 1: run the bullets. She clearly referenced it. Why do you
Speaker 1: think she would feel empowered to tell somebody that she's
Speaker 1: calling a customer service? What do you know about customer service?
Speaker 1: When you call customer service, it could be frustrating. Sometimes
Speaker 1: it's positive. Hat a very positive experience with customer service
Speaker 1: for my cell phone provider the other day. So I
Speaker 1: want to make a little change over there. Very nice,
Speaker 1: everything was happening, there was a little problem, they fixed
Speaker 1: it right away. That's not most people's experience, It's not
Speaker 1: usually mine. That being said, there's something I know in
Speaker 1: the back of my mind. And because they tell you,
Speaker 1: what is something that in any big customer service eight
Speaker 1: hundred number, you know phone tree situation, you hear right
Speaker 1: before they let you talk to somebody. This call may
Speaker 1: be recorded for quality assurance purposes or whatever. But it's
Speaker 1: also in case you're a lunatic and you threaten to
Speaker 1: kill the person or the people. And it's because as
Speaker 1: soon as you start and this is what was preached
Speaker 1: during the early days of Trump, when you you know before,
Speaker 1: when you start normalizing things, when you start dehumanizing people,
Speaker 1: when you start saying things or you start posting a
Speaker 1: map of congressional districts, it's a slippery slope to doomsday
Speaker 1: and pandemonium. You know, somebody hacked one of those road
Speaker 1: signing things out in the state of Washington yesterday and
Speaker 1: it said one CEO down, more to go. And this
Speaker 1: woman is probably gonna be separated from her kids now
Speaker 1: because it's Florida and they're not going to screw around
Speaker 1: with this stuff. They're not going to screw around, especially Florida.
Speaker 1: You know why, remember what all the CEOs did, not
Speaker 1: all of them, but you remember what so many of
Speaker 1: them did. During COVID. There was a mad race to
Speaker 1: buy all these properties in the Palm Beach area and
Speaker 1: Lauderdale and others, and you had all you had this
Speaker 1: huge boom of these really high end houses because a
Speaker 1: lot of these folks who would be among them, eat
Speaker 1: the rich, decided they were done with New York. They
Speaker 1: were going down to Florida. They wrote a whole articles
Speaker 1: about it. So, yeah, I think maybe some of the
Speaker 1: stuff she's seen here recently, coupled with frustration that I'm
Speaker 1: sure is legitimate. She decided to say it, But even
Speaker 1: at the end there she seemed kind of unremorseful. Instead
Speaker 1: of going, yeah, you know what, I just snapped, I
Speaker 1: got three kids, I've been dealing with this, I'm working
Speaker 1: two jobs, or you know, whatever the story is, She's like, well,
Speaker 1: maybe they shouldn't be such jerks and people wouldn't threaten
Speaker 1: to kill them. So there's obviously a little, a little
Speaker 1: pre existing TDS or whatever you want to describe it
Speaker 1: as working there. But now it's the consequences of your actions.
Speaker 1: All right, let's grab a call Jamal. What's up? How
Speaker 1: are you doing?
Speaker 4: You know what? Eighteen years ago? Eighteen years ago, I
Speaker 4: said she was lying about that ring. So many people
Speaker 4: in the black community sat there and jumped behind her,
Speaker 4: because you remember, I don't know people ever seeing the
Speaker 4: movie with ice Cube Call God, I was just talking
Speaker 4: about it. Well, in a movie about a strepp of
Speaker 4: working her way through college, who's supposed to be going
Speaker 4: to North Carolina Central. I remember that. And there was
Speaker 4: duke players. They trying to make a racial and said, oh, well,
Speaker 4: this is up to black lady being raped by these
Speaker 4: three white guys. And the News and Observer. The News
Speaker 4: and Observer sat there and lied on them. They sat there,
Speaker 4: and they had all those families said, oh, they need
Speaker 4: to be this, they need to be there my night
Speaker 4: fall help and Durham the original, the original Santana Doomberry
Speaker 4: because he's sat here and played day crap. When it
Speaker 4: came the people sell of telling people the true he
Speaker 4: did that.
Speaker 1: It was a really dumb fake CNN article that somebody
Speaker 1: made as a meme because they were trying to come
Speaker 1: up with the wildest accusations that the media could make.
Speaker 1: So somebody mocked up a template of a like a
Speaker 1: CNN article and just said Elon Musk melted down the
Speaker 1: statue of liberty. Reuters decided to do a fact check
Speaker 1: as to whether the statue of liberty was melted down.
Speaker 1: I'm not making this up, So they did a fact check.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming probably they went to the top floor of
Speaker 1: their building and looked out over the river, or do
Speaker 1: you have to go and touch it? I mean, what
Speaker 1: is the due diligence for a reporter there? So Reuters
Speaker 1: does a fact check to determine that Elon Musk did not,
Speaker 1: in fact buy and melt down the Statue of Liberty.
Speaker 1: It was clearly satire and not even particularly that funny.
Speaker 1: And then Elon Musk, when he saw they did a
Speaker 1: fact check, tweeted on the fact check, no, I did
Speaker 1: one thousand percent, and then all of the moonbats lost
Speaker 1: it in a turn in community note suggestions. So just
Speaker 1: this is where I guess this is where we're gonna
Speaker 1: be I mean, we felt it in twenty sixteen, so
Speaker 1: I guess we're somewhat used to it, if you want
Speaker 1: to say that. But the level of stupid, even though
Speaker 1: it seems like with like Mark Zuckerberg and Bezos both
Speaker 1: donating what a million dollars to the Trump inauguration, how
Speaker 1: weird is that? By the way, And this is where
Speaker 1: this is where Trump gets himself in trouble. Right, don't
Speaker 1: embrace either. It's actually Bezos. Do you remember all the
Speaker 1: stuff Bezos was saying he was he hated this dude
Speaker 1: and then what the Washington Post Bezos newspaper did on
Speaker 1: the daily They lied about Trump, and they lied about
Speaker 1: things about Trump that cost this country probably billions, probably billion, no,
Speaker 1: not even probably absolutely billions, right, because they lied about
Speaker 1: stuff that also hampered efforts to do things like secure
Speaker 1: the border more thoroughly, which has a tangible cost to people.
Speaker 1: And Trump will do this thing. And I think it's
Speaker 1: because he also will be on the other side of this,
Speaker 1: like when he suggested that Ted Cruz's father might have
Speaker 1: helped kill JFK. And then they're doing endorsements like I
Speaker 1: don't understand. I don't understand that stuff doesn't make any
Speaker 1: sense to me. It's the world of politics. I don't understand.
Speaker 1: But I Trump will then allow himself to be ingratiated
Speaker 1: because he feels like he turned Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg.
Speaker 1: And I think it's I think it's Trump's blind spot
Speaker 1: on this stuff. It really is, because if given a chance,
Speaker 1: Bezos would be absolutely done with you'd be mocking you.
Speaker 1: He'd be like the Prime Minister of Poland and um
Speaker 1: McCrone yesterday the French president. Did you see that where
Speaker 1: they were mocking how Trump shakes hands as part of
Speaker 1: their little weird European meeting over there, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: do you know what's going on in Europe right now?
Speaker 1: You know, we talk about sovereignty and we talk, you
Speaker 1: know about how USA first, America first, and there's a
Speaker 1: reason for that. Do you know what's happening in southern
Speaker 1: Sweden right now? So in southern Sweden, and this is
Speaker 1: this is an important distinction. In southern Sweden, they have
Speaker 1: they have just found out that they've just raised their
Speaker 1: energy prices a crap ton and it happened almost instantaneously,
Speaker 1: So they raise their energy prices. I love the words
Speaker 1: they have for stuff. Ross. Do you know why energy
Speaker 1: prices are going up? It's you know how we have
Speaker 1: El Nino here in over in Sweden and yeah, well
Speaker 1: in Europe it's called dunkel flout, So they're dealing with
Speaker 1: Your guys are dealing with dunkel flout. Oh man, that
Speaker 1: sounds horrible, but basically it's weather with no wind or sunlight,
Speaker 1: which is a huge problem. So what happens because these
Speaker 1: cats are all in the EU together, the EU will
Speaker 1: tell countries where they have to send their electricity. So
Speaker 1: because of dunkel flout, which again is whether with no
Speaker 1: wind or sunlight, which for renewables is kind of a problem.
Speaker 1: Germany needed a big influx of they needed a big
Speaker 1: influx of power, and so the EU ordered Sweden because
Speaker 1: that's their main transmission, to essentially give them a certain
Speaker 1: amount of power. And the Swedes are upset because they're
Speaker 1: like Germany's only in this position because they got rid
Speaker 1: of their coal and nuclear right, which is why they
Speaker 1: were buying that Russian stuff to make up for it,
Speaker 1: which ironically is the thing that Trump mentioned way back
Speaker 1: in the day, Remember when the Germans laughed at him
Speaker 1: and he said they'd be in this situation. Well, he
Speaker 1: nailed it. So and as a result, they have no
Speaker 1: choice because they have no sovereignty, you can't do anything
Speaker 1: about it. Germany gets it. But in southern Sweden, the
Speaker 1: average costs let's say, how many of you took a
Speaker 1: shower this morning, five dollars almost overnight. Almost overnight. There
Speaker 1: is they are paying five dollars in electricity costs to
Speaker 1: take a standard length shower in southern Sweden because they
Speaker 1: were forced to have their energy they're producing sent to
Speaker 1: Germany because they're part of the EU, and there's nothing
Speaker 1: they can do about it. These are the lunatics you're
Speaker 1: dealing with. So just you know, I thought that'd be
Speaker 1: a nice little example to remind people why looking out
Speaker 1: for your own doesn't necessarily mean you hate the rest
Speaker 1: of the world. But sometimes you're not going to cover
Speaker 1: for their poor decisions. And that's what we find ourselves doing.
Speaker 1: And that's what Sweden's doing right now. And ironically it's
Speaker 1: only southern Sweden because they're separate grids I guess, which
Speaker 1: I don't know how that works, but whatever, that's what
Speaker 1: the loss of your sovereignty you'll do. And it's and
Speaker 1: so much of Sure, you can't control the weather, oh
Speaker 1: there's some weirdos online will tell you you can. But
Speaker 1: more importantly, you can't control Germany's decision, which clearly now
Speaker 1: is in pacting. The Swedes five dollars for a shower?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? I don't know if you know this.
Speaker 1: It's kind of cold in the northern hemisphere, so the
Speaker 1: heating cost is another thing now they do in Sweden.
Speaker 1: They do have some heating alternatives because they do use
Speaker 1: coal and some stuff. But still, man, that's just one
Speaker 1: day your energy costs are up. I think it was
Speaker 1: twelve hundred percent or something. Now is it going to
Speaker 1: be like that forever? No, it'll come back down, but
Speaker 1: then eventually it'll creep up. And you know, as you
Speaker 1: sit here and you ditch the things that are there
Speaker 1: to power your economy and people's homes like Germany's doing,
Speaker 1: and others are following suit, and you can be undone
Speaker 1: by something called duncal flout. What are you going to
Speaker 1: do when Sweden is not producing some excess energy or
Speaker 1: one of these other countries. Well, now you're into California
Speaker 1: brown out and then before you know it, you're paying
Speaker 1: a gazillion dollars and who the hell knows where it goes.
Speaker 1: But it's not it's not good planning, not good planning
Speaker 1: at all. All right, seven forty three k O Day
Speaker 1: radio program. We got Ray.
Speaker 6: I can go to Ray if he's.
Speaker 5: Ready to lock it.
Speaker 6: Yeah. I've been with Bah not much. How are you?
Speaker 3: You know?
Speaker 1: It's Friday, so we like that. We only got one
Speaker 1: more week of work this year after this, So that's right.
Speaker 1: You got a I had one of our power search things,
Speaker 1: uh pop or bust, and I heard it all in
Speaker 1: my ears, so I'm kind of deaf. Yeah, I hope that.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I had that back in the day when I
Speaker 6: didn't even know what an IFB was. I had that
Speaker 6: happen to me. Yeah, to do side. I had it
Speaker 6: in and I'm like, I don't even know what this
Speaker 6: thing is, and all of a sudden, somebody just popped
Speaker 6: it the Yeah maybe I was like what the and
Speaker 6: I had it like cranked up all and I still
Speaker 6: have a your damage, But that's okay.
Speaker 1: I pulled the power unit out. It's got scorch marks unders.
Speaker 1: That's probably not good.
Speaker 6: So that's probably probably not good thing.
Speaker 1: Probably not not an electrician. So let's just go ahead
Speaker 1: and get to the weather.
Speaker 6: Yeah, exactly, Well, it's gonna show a warming trend and
Speaker 6: rain in the forecast beginning of next week looks much
Speaker 6: mild or even a shot at seventy degrees at least
Speaker 6: in and around and Raleigh and Durham, most of us
Speaker 6: getting well into the sixties. Another cold start this morning
Speaker 6: on no precipe. Today a little more cloud though, coming
Speaker 6: in low to mid fifties, and tomorrow probably a little
Speaker 6: bit cooler. We'll start off in the thirties in the morning,
Speaker 6: probably low in mid thirties and then close to fifty
Speaker 6: in the afternoon, but again lots of sunshine and no
Speaker 6: rain yet. Might see a little light rain Sunday, low fifties,
Speaker 6: but a better chance as we get into Sunday night.
Speaker 6: The good newsday is early next week, Monday is gonna
Speaker 6: be sunny. We're back into the sixties with the chance
Speaker 6: of showers, and if we do hit seventy it maybe
Speaker 6: Tuesday could have some showers around. So it does look
Speaker 6: like we've got some mild to rear back in and
Speaker 6: then maybe backing it off in more seasonable temperatures in
Speaker 6: midweekend beyond that, so next week looks like a couple
Speaker 6: of systems. Casey could clip us. But yeah, he's already
Speaker 6: going out there, and some of the guide has been
Speaker 6: showing a windy precipt towards in the south. No, not
Speaker 6: doing it, not doing it. Three day Ray says, believe
Speaker 6: what I say. In three days after that, it's a
Speaker 6: coin toss.
Speaker 1: By the way, do you hear that new weather term
Speaker 1: I was talking about before you came on?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: Which one dunkel flout flout? All right, So the story,
Speaker 1: the story is in Sweden right now, in southern Sweden,
Speaker 1: it costs five dollars of elect It costs five dollars
Speaker 1: in electricity to take a shower, so you think yeah.
Speaker 1: And the reason is is because since they're part of
Speaker 1: the EU, they had Dunkel flout and since Germany got
Speaker 1: rid of all or he's getting read of all their
Speaker 1: nukes and cold plants, they needed energy and they needed
Speaker 1: it bad. Because of the Dunkel flout and UH as
Speaker 1: part of the agreement, Sweden was forced to sell them
Speaker 1: energy and it literally crashed their own energy market. So
Speaker 1: dunkle flout is whether that has neither wind nor sunshine,
Speaker 1: so it's you know, and then obviously if you have
Speaker 1: renewables with windmills and solar panels, you're screwed, right, So
Speaker 1: that's your that's your word of the day. Whether with
Speaker 1: no wind or sunlight to power renewables is called dunkal flout,
Speaker 1: which is my favorite.
Speaker 6: Try that with Mark next week. We'll get a kick
Speaker 6: out of that.
Speaker 1: Well are you already done with him or what?
Speaker 6: No, he's he's he's off today.
Speaker 1: Oh well nice for him. All right, Well there you go,
Speaker 1: duncal flout. You live all right, Thank you. Ray appreciate it, alright,
Speaker 1: seven forty seven hang on are the very latest suicide
Speaker 1: of an ip. I guess I don't know so this morning,
Speaker 1: and I wasn't really up on all this stuff, so
Speaker 1: I was kind of picking Ross's brain too. So apparently
Speaker 1: fans of the Witcher are upset, and and they have
Speaker 1: been upset here for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 1: The first one was going back to the TV show
Speaker 1: is you had Henry cavill aka Superman, right, remember that?
Speaker 1: And and wait, boy did he get a raw deal too?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: So he he goes in and he plays the main
Speaker 1: character Garalt Giralt.
Speaker 4: I can.
Speaker 1: Garyl? Excuse me? So he's playing Garyl? And I I've
Speaker 1: never really played the game, but I enjoyed the TV
Speaker 1: show like it was a good tea that first season.
Speaker 1: The season was super good. It's so good.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and then it sort of went off the rails
Speaker 2: because they started kind of making up their own source
Speaker 2: like material.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and here's and here's the thing that the general sense,
Speaker 1: the general overview is, uh, you know, and there's a
Speaker 1: lot of hallmarks of other stuff. He's a bad ass,
Speaker 1: but he's a just gruntled badass, and you know, there's
Speaker 1: some baggage there, and then there's this very special person
Speaker 1: this this woman or this daughter or this and then
Speaker 1: he's got to protect that and I don't I'm trying
Speaker 1: not to give all the stuff away. But and so,
Speaker 1: you know, you have you have these main characters build up,
Speaker 1: and and it was fine in fact that there's a
Speaker 1: thing in the season where she's training with like the
Speaker 1: weird apparatus, like it's uh, you know, it's like one
Speaker 1: of the hops up. Yeah, and it all fit was
Speaker 1: the point. It all fit. And then you started to
Speaker 1: see signs that there were problems, like they like people
Speaker 1: were mad at Cavil and and and then one the
Speaker 1: producer of the of Netflix, who is a woke idiot
Speaker 1: of the series, I should say, she would give an
Speaker 1: interview and she was mad at Cavil because he was
Speaker 1: a fan of the material.
Speaker 2: She said she was pissed off that he was like,
Speaker 2: you know, super like passionate about the role in the
Speaker 2: source material in the game.
Speaker 1: So when she'd be like, all right, here's what we're
Speaker 1: going to do in the scene, he'd be like, that's
Speaker 1: not that wouldn't work. And here's why, I mean, like
Speaker 1: he was the he was he was continuity all on
Speaker 1: his own and she got really annoyed with that, and
Speaker 1: they essentially ran him off his own show. And and
Speaker 1: remember the what he finally made the decision to go
Speaker 1: all right, fine whatever he was thinking, he was gonna
Speaker 1: go back and to Superman, and then like a month
Speaker 1: after he left The Witcher, they're like, yeah, you're not
Speaker 1: Superman anymore. So I mean, real raw deal for that guy.
Speaker 1: But imagine that being mad at the guy who actually
Speaker 1: gets the source material. And I think that's why it
Speaker 1: produced what people like. Well, there's obviously this all comes
Speaker 1: from a video game, and the new video game is
Speaker 1: coming out this would be I guess the fourth The
Speaker 1: Witcher four, and the official trailer was released yesterday. He's
Speaker 1: not even the guy. He's not even the main character
Speaker 1: in the game anymore. It is gonna be Siri.
Speaker 2: Yes it is, because in the third game you're sort
Speaker 2: of looking for her, and there's these moments where it
Speaker 2: switches from your playing garyl to playing Surre and when
Speaker 2: it would happen in the game, because I love that game,
Speaker 2: every time it would switch to that, so suddenly you know,
Speaker 2: you're now Surrey playing in the game, and I hated
Speaker 2: those moments. I was like, get me back to playing GARYL.
Speaker 2: I don't want to play Suri. And now you're gonna
Speaker 2: have an entire game like that, I mean.
Speaker 1: Little zerial series followed in her adoptive dad's footsteps and
Speaker 1: taken on the mantle of Witcher and uh and then
Speaker 1: and they're so at PC gamers, so excited, like why
Speaker 1: not call it witch ers?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 1: Why don't you walk into traffic's call it? Why don't
Speaker 1: you call it witch ers? How about Mario's Sisters?
Speaker 6: Ross?
Speaker 1: You want a Mario Sisters? Should we do?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 3: I mean?
Speaker 2: I'm not gonna lie man Super Mario Brothers too. You
Speaker 2: had to choose the princess because yeah, she can fly
Speaker 2: man like cheating.
Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's She was a little op there, So like,
Speaker 1: what what are you gonna do? So you're gonna kill
Speaker 1: both the successful TV and video game franchise, And of
Speaker 1: course it's all the same sides. It's people who have
Speaker 1: been longtime fans like they're super into it. They have
Speaker 1: like replica Witcher swords, right, and and they're like, I
Speaker 1: I play this because I like the characters how they
Speaker 1: are and and and now you're just going to a limit.
Speaker 1: It's like what they did with the last of us, right,
Speaker 1: remember when they're like, ah, we need to get a
Speaker 1: we need to shoehorn in a LGBT representation, which could
Speaker 1: which probably could have easily been done if they really
Speaker 1: wanted to do that, and the like. So we're gonna
Speaker 1: go and get rid of the character you guys like Pete,
Speaker 1: how are you doing today? You doing okay?
Speaker 5: But man, I yeah, I think so. How about you?
Speaker 1: I just I didn't know if with the news, if
Speaker 1: you were going to be be okay? Well, which news
Speaker 1: finding out that Crystal Manga may have lied? So, I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't know if you heard the heard the interview
Speaker 1: with her yesterday? Yes, yeah, I mean are you now?
Speaker 1: Were you here in the state doing news and radio
Speaker 1: stuff at the time, I was not. This preceded me,
Speaker 1: but I of course covered it when I was in Minnesota.
Speaker 1: But you know, being here, I'm assured was even much
Speaker 1: more insane than I could have ever imagined. Were you
Speaker 1: Were you around these parts?
Speaker 5: Yes, as a reporter at the time in Charlotte, and
Speaker 5: so we covered it extensively at the time. You know,
Speaker 5: from Charlotte. I didn't go up to you know, Durham, Durham,
Speaker 5: and do any of the like. I wasn't on the
Speaker 5: scene in Durham, but yeah, we covered it from a
Speaker 5: statewide perspective and we had you know states you know
Speaker 5: reporting that was going on. And yeah, that was my
Speaker 5: that was sort of the first THIRDUS in six I
Speaker 5: want to say, you know, I was well, yeah, I
Speaker 5: was probably like thirty, I want to say, but I
Speaker 5: had been a reporter for about you know, seven years
Speaker 5: at that point. That was my first awareness of how
Speaker 5: corrupted higher education was and the kinds of railroad jobs
Speaker 5: that administration could do to their students, and the corruption
Speaker 5: of a day just eighty eight.
Speaker 1: The higher end employees, let's be clear, right right, and this.
Speaker 5: And we would see this then sort of play out
Speaker 5: in various forms for years to come with uh, you know,
Speaker 5: the creation of and it's still it still boggles my
Speaker 5: mind why universities think that they are equipped to do
Speaker 5: criminal investigations into students over allegations that are made, whether
Speaker 5: it's you know, assaults or sexual assaults or whatever. It's like,
Speaker 5: you guys are not I understand you have like campus police,
Speaker 5: but you guys are not out there like like doing
Speaker 5: homicide and rape investigations on a daily basis. You do
Speaker 5: not have the expertise to be doing it, and you
Speaker 5: don't have a judicial system. You have a quasi judicial
Speaker 5: system where accusers can't or the accused cannot face their accusers,
Speaker 5: and all these weird rules of evidence and stuff. It's
Speaker 5: just it's it's ridiculous. And I was never aware of
Speaker 5: that kind of a level of rot inside prestigious universities
Speaker 5: like Duke. And then of course the corruption of the
Speaker 5: of the the district Attorney Mike Nifong, who I think
Speaker 5: he probably still does believe Crystal Mangnum story, even though
Speaker 5: she has now said she lied about it.
Speaker 1: She made it all up well, and people are expectlating
Speaker 1: why she did it. I don't know. She doesn't have
Speaker 1: anything to gain or lose from it that she can't
Speaker 1: be charged with perree at this late hour, and also
Speaker 1: she doesn't have anything they want, so I don't know
Speaker 1: that they're gonna be able to deal her out. Maybe
Speaker 1: she's going for a Biden pardon.
Speaker 5: Yeah, well, I think, well, I want so. What I
Speaker 5: want to believe but I don't know to be true,
Speaker 5: is that she is in a better place mentally like
Speaker 5: her mental health has been her issues have been maybe
Speaker 5: addressed through you know, prescriptions, through counseling and whatnot. And
Speaker 5: also it seems like she may have you know, gotten religion.
Speaker 5: It seems like maybe she yeah, yeah, that's what it
Speaker 5: sounds like. And it is not on me or anybody
Speaker 5: else to forgive her except the people that she wronged,
Speaker 5: you know, that's that's their call.
Speaker 1: And well she did, but she wronged everybody. Here's the deal.
Speaker 1: She wronged everyone in North Carolina too, because you talk
Speaker 1: about the atmosphere was there. It clearly has never been
Speaker 1: the same since, right, can we agree? And and higher
Speaker 1: ed has shown them to themselves to be who they are, right,
Speaker 1: And you saw it put the mattress the mattress girl,
Speaker 1: and yeah, it was a Columbia And we have all
Speaker 1: these stories where it became very clear that depending on
Speaker 1: the socioeconomic, the gender, or the you know, the racial
Speaker 1: components of it, and you could predict this, that a
Speaker 1: narrative was going to be had. And that narrative to
Speaker 1: this day, by a lot of people, is still believed
Speaker 1: by a lot of these things. They think that that
Speaker 1: lunatic up at Columbia was actually assaulted by that dude,
Speaker 1: even though it's provably false. So the damage is done.
Speaker 1: Then when people are like I don't want to send
Speaker 1: my kid over to the state school, are they seeing
Speaker 1: crazy stuff that you and me? You know, you and
Speaker 1: c had their own issues with rape investigations being done
Speaker 1: by campus police. Remember they ended up transferring it to
Speaker 1: the city cops. But so she's not Those three are
Speaker 1: not the only injured party, but they're easily the most
Speaker 1: injured party.
Speaker 5: Right well, And yeah, I mean, she looks she did
Speaker 5: not ask. She did not ask me for forgiveness, as
Speaker 5: far as I know, she didn't say. She just said
Speaker 5: she was sorry, and she hopes that the Duke lacrosse
Speaker 5: players can forgive her, and that you know, and that
Speaker 5: I would like to I mean, I would like to
Speaker 5: know if she actually has reached out to any of
Speaker 5: them to personally, face the face apologize. Look, I think
Speaker 5: the public apology for a wrong like that is is welcome. Like,
Speaker 5: I'm not going to bash the woman for admitting what,
Speaker 5: like I believe to be true years ago, was that
Speaker 5: she made it up. The facts did not fit the case,
Speaker 5: the evidence didn't fit the case. And you know, to
Speaker 5: some degree, yes, like this was such a it was
Speaker 5: such a circus, and you know, so many people behaved badly.
Speaker 5: But at least now, well back then, like we we
Speaker 5: knew it, right, it became so clear and obvious that
Speaker 5: sort of the facade had fallen, and now people had
Speaker 5: a different perspective on the way these things were run.
Speaker 5: I mean, Mike Nifong, the DA got disbarred.
Speaker 4: Uh.
Speaker 5: You know Roy Cooper, of course he he remains unscathed
Speaker 5: by any kind of scandal that anywhere comes close to
Speaker 5: him for some reason, and I think it there was
Speaker 5: a red sort of a red pill moment, you know,
Speaker 5: where people are like, oh, this is the way this runs,
Speaker 5: this is this is wrong, and so for that because
Speaker 5: like you said, this has been going on in other
Speaker 5: places and so maybe this you know, like, yes, there
Speaker 5: was damage done to all of the people of North
Speaker 5: Carolina and witnessing all of this, and on the other hand,
Speaker 5: we're now aware of it.
Speaker 1: You know, so sure, But there's also other portrators. There's
Speaker 1: also other people should be apologizing. In fact, this morning
Speaker 1: as well from the show, I opened my UH maya
Speaker 1: Culpa hotline any politician Doke employee among the eighty eight
Speaker 1: UH and or of course, you know, anybody's got any
Speaker 1: culpability members of the media who wrote five part series
Speaker 1: is that had to be taken down by reverse documentaries
Speaker 1: to talk about how full of crap news and observer was.
Speaker 1: They should all of them, all of them have and
Speaker 1: and I, yeah, I got zero calls.
Speaker 4: Well, well that is surprising.
Speaker 5: That is really surprising. Well, okay, so maybe if the
Speaker 5: Wilmington race riots and the news and observers role in that,
Speaker 5: if if that's our yeah, right, if that's our indication,
Speaker 5: then you know, one hundred years boom, they'll have the
Speaker 5: they'll have the apology.
Speaker 1: Okay, I gotta wait, all right, well I gotta transition
Speaker 1: obviously to like two other things, man. But the whole
Speaker 1: thing I did not have it on my Bingo card
Speaker 1: yesterday when it was putting show prep together. I think
Speaker 1: it's for sure. Yeh, Luigi, Luigi, dude.
Speaker 4: I saw mushrooms.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you saw the You saw the woman down in
Speaker 1: Florida who was rained yesterday because she's forty two. She's
Speaker 1: had a claim deny by Blue Cross. So she's on
Speaker 1: customer service, which we all know is recorded, we all
Speaker 1: know we're and she's like and she didn't just threaten
Speaker 1: to kill him. She said the denied delay, she said
Speaker 1: the thing right, and and then was taken to cussy.
Speaker 1: She's facing like ten years, man, She's facing like ten years.
Speaker 1: So the question is, I don't know how normal this
Speaker 1: woman was to start, but I think most people, even
Speaker 1: in their most seething anger on customer service, know that
Speaker 1: that's a line you don't cross. She felt empowered to
Speaker 1: cross it. And I was told, and I'm sure you
Speaker 1: remember this around twenty sixteen, that you with these little things,
Speaker 1: it dehumanizes people. And if you say that, eventually you're
Speaker 1: going to end up with violence. And yet every time
Speaker 1: we end up with violence, it's always seemingly in the
Speaker 1: other direction. Why would this woman feel empowered enough to
Speaker 1: cross that line and then the kind of like double
Speaker 1: down on it. What changed in a week? And I
Speaker 1: think I think we all know the answer.
Speaker 5: Yes it is, Luigi. We are so when you are
Speaker 5: presented with a murder and the murderer is quite obviously
Speaker 5: off his rocker, Okay, it is clear that this guy,
Speaker 5: this assassin is had a psychotic break of some kind, right,
Speaker 5: and he is at the age where it happens to dudes,
Speaker 5: especially if dudes are experimenting with a bunch of hallucinogens,
Speaker 5: and so that is not surprising. So that's one thing.
Speaker 5: Then reaction to the murder has been disturbing and grotesque.
Speaker 4: It is this.
Speaker 5: I'm not saying he should have killed him, but I understand.
Speaker 5: And what you're doing there is creating a permission structure.
Speaker 5: And we saw it in twenty sixteen through twenty twenty
Speaker 5: with the riots, the fiery but mostly peaceful destruction of
Speaker 5: American cities during the first Trump term. Right, And when
Speaker 5: you take a permissive attitude towards this thing at a
Speaker 5: societal level, you will get more of it, right, because
Speaker 5: you've lowered the barrier for entry, the costs to enter
Speaker 5: that arena. And that's what we are seeing. It's much
Speaker 5: like I went over this yesterday you back in I
Speaker 5: was unaware of this. This is before my time, But
Speaker 5: in nineteen seventy one, in nineteen seventy two, there were
Speaker 5: twenty five hundred bombings in America bioactists of police stations. Yeah, right,
Speaker 5: I just I didn't realize the scale of the violence
Speaker 5: that the left brought in American society and then.
Speaker 1: Crashed the Capitol. The Black panthers, They insurrected the Capitol.
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people forget this.
Speaker 5: Yeah, they bombed the Senate building. A US Senate building
Speaker 5: was bombed like so, and and what happens to the
Speaker 5: people that participated in this kind of violence? And they
Speaker 5: ended up with gigs at the very kinds of institutions
Speaker 5: that we were just talking about, like you know, Columbia
Speaker 5: and university.
Speaker 1: Professor and Buddies, Bill Ayers and remember remember that whole thing.
Speaker 5: Yeah, absolutely, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Miss of environment is of people that are supposed to
Speaker 1: be the one who set a good example in society.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's not that they do, but it's pretty
Speaker 1: it's a room full of criminals. Being permissive is remarkably
Speaker 1: different than Elizabeth Warren in aoc on record saying exactly
Speaker 1: what you said, I shouldn't murder, but I understand why
Speaker 1: you'd murder that guy. And what do you get this
Speaker 1: woman in Florida and Washington the road signs got hacked
Speaker 1: and said one CEO down, more to go. They're putting
Speaker 1: room posters around New York. It's it's crazy, so.
Speaker 5: Right, and it's it is. Then there's another thing in
Speaker 5: what sociology called the preference cascade. It's in economics as well,
Speaker 5: where you know, first there is a thing that is unimaginable,
Speaker 5: whether it's new technology or it's a riot. And then
Speaker 5: once one person picks the brick up and you know,
Speaker 5: bashes a window in, then somebody else sees it, they
Speaker 5: become empowered to do it. And then somebody who would
Speaker 5: never do it first they've now seen two people or
Speaker 5: three people or ten people do it. Now they participate,
Speaker 5: and you end up with this cascade effect, you know,
Speaker 5: slowly at first, then very quickly, and that's how you
Speaker 5: get these rolling sort of a social contagion kind of
Speaker 5: aspect to it. And this is why it's like it's
Speaker 5: like the blueprint for the school shootings and mass shootings.
Speaker 5: Social contagion preference cascades explain a lot of this behavior.
Speaker 1: And what's pretty crazy to me is that they will
Speaker 1: sit here and they'll go, well, look, this has to happen.
Speaker 1: So the CEOs get the message and they change their ways.
Speaker 1: If you think there is inherently evil and don't I
Speaker 1: ever forgot the part where we had a whole presidential
Speaker 1: campaign where every single rally one of the candidates said
Speaker 1: the CEOs are greedy. They're trying to starve you with
Speaker 1: food prices. They're evil, evil, evil, tax the rich eat
Speaker 1: the rich. Right, we had a whole campaign that really
Speaker 1: refortified this stuff. And so I guess my question becomes,
Speaker 1: do you think the CEO's just gone, No, everything's wrong.
Speaker 1: In fact, we're gonna make the same as the janitor.
Speaker 1: Are you all happy?
Speaker 7: No?
Speaker 1: You know they're gonna do. They're gonna the guys that
Speaker 1: run academy over in the eastern part of the state,
Speaker 1: you know, the militia dudes, they're gonna make a crap
Speaker 1: ton of money. Because I was reading an article and
Speaker 1: then I actually texted a guy that I know who
Speaker 1: trains people, his ex military trains people for like protection details.
Speaker 1: He said that he got like a thousand phone calls
Speaker 1: like he can't, he can't physically, there's no way he
Speaker 1: can well fill all the orders. That's what we're going
Speaker 1: to do. And now you get this further separation there,
Speaker 1: So good.
Speaker 5: Luck with yeah, yeah, and yeah, it's going to be
Speaker 5: a boon for police officers looking to retire and go
Speaker 5: into you know, a you know, a better line of
Speaker 5: work where you just have one client to protect, uh,
Speaker 5: and and hang out with and you know, instead of
Speaker 5: an entire zone or a district. But yeah, I mean
Speaker 5: like this, but look at its core, Leftism always requires violence.
Speaker 5: It always ends up in the same place.
Speaker 1: That's all. If you look at his that's only nine.
Speaker 5: That's fair.
Speaker 4: No, that's fair.
Speaker 5: Yes, that's fair. And so the challenge here is that
Speaker 5: you have a media infrastructure that refuses to ask Democrats
Speaker 5: whether they've got the kind of problem that the Democrats
Speaker 5: accused Republicans of having inside of their own party. There
Speaker 5: is a violent strain inside leftism, and that is inside
Speaker 5: the Democrat base, and they will not be asked about it.
Speaker 5: They will not be called out for it. Democrats are
Speaker 5: not challenging their own They're not saying except for maybe
Speaker 5: Fetterman they I mean, because we saw it with the
Speaker 5: the pro Hamas Holes protests, they're not. They have a
Speaker 5: very difficult time because at the core, I think it
Speaker 5: comes back to where we started, which is this idea
Speaker 5: that oh, I'm not saying you should do it, but
Speaker 5: I understand and that right there is the problem.
Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah, one hundred percent, which is why I'm
Speaker 1: kind of hoping it is aliens. Thirty seconds, what the
Speaker 1: Hell's going on? What's going on up there? Manes? I
Speaker 1: ran mothership? Yeah I got thirty seconds?
Speaker 4: You got it?
Speaker 1: You got no? Not really?
Speaker 4: Yeah, Like I'm I'm.
Speaker 5: Kind of disappointed in New Jerseyans, New Jersey, owens, New Jersey.
Speaker 1: I don't know what they call it, balance of humanity
Speaker 1: weighed by them accidentally snatching snookie. Okay, I don't, I
Speaker 1: don't want to are are.
Speaker 5: I'm disappointed that there haven't been people shooting at those things.
Speaker 1: I think there have. I just think they're very bad
Speaker 1: at it because they hold the god rideways. All Right,
Speaker 1: I gotta I got, I got a roll man, Thank
Speaker 1: you very much, appreciate Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, there
Speaker 1: you go, Pete Calender and we'll be right back. Just
Speaker 1: a reminder that if you're going to do some heisting,
Speaker 1: plan ahead, plan ahead pays big dividends, Like you know,
Speaker 1: you don't end up like these two idiots. So, a
Speaker 1: man and a woman we're accused of stealing was about
Speaker 1: twelve thousand dollars in jewelry. It sounds like it was
Speaker 1: in a not a bank, but some other secure facility.
Speaker 1: I don't know what that would be. I guess maybe
Speaker 1: one of those stores or not one of the stores,
Speaker 1: but maybe there's there are some little outside of the
Speaker 1: bank type of safe deposit boxes. But whatever, it doesn't matter,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter what they start, It doesn't matter what
Speaker 1: it was. They stole eleven thousand in jewelry from one
Speaker 1: of the containers. Okay, all right, so this is near Seattle,
Speaker 1: and so their plan was they would they'd leave the
Speaker 1: scene via suv. Then they would run across to this
Speaker 1: marina and then they were gonna get in a boat
Speaker 1: and then I guess just drift off into the fog
Speaker 1: like they're pirates or something. And so they'll, you know,
Speaker 1: because they realize there's cameras, so they'll see the suv,
Speaker 1: but maybe they'll lose them, I guess in the marina
Speaker 1: or whatever. And well, it didn't go to plan, because
Speaker 1: there's a thing you gotta do, right if you're preparing
Speaker 1: for a heist there and there's multiple things now because
Speaker 1: you have multiple getaway vehicles, so you want to make
Speaker 1: sure obviously the SUV's and d and running order, it's
Speaker 1: got it's got a full take of gas in case
Speaker 1: you they're too close and you need to make a run.
Speaker 1: It's it's as inconspicuous as possible. Maybe you swap plates
Speaker 1: out or something. I don't know, but you know, you prepare,
Speaker 1: what do you what do you think you do with
Speaker 1: the boat? What do you think the bare basic thing
Speaker 1: you should do with the boat is? And if you
Speaker 1: said make sure it floats and has both oars, you
Speaker 1: are correct, and they did not. So actually, and this
Speaker 1: is this is what gets a little weird. So they
Speaker 1: actually had a different boat. They were going to take.
Speaker 1: A different boat they were going to take. And when
Speaker 1: I say a rowboat, it's like one of the you
Speaker 1: know those rowboats, like if you go to a lake
Speaker 1: that has like the little couple's boats where you can
Speaker 1: putts around. It's not even a full rowboat. So they
Speaker 1: leave the s the suv hads of rolling over because
Speaker 1: they turn too sharply coming into the marina. They're then
Speaker 1: forced to try to grab a different boat. All they
Speaker 1: can find is this rowboat, uh, and they push it
Speaker 1: off into the water. It had been dry dock. They
Speaker 1: push it into the water and they and they start
Speaker 1: paddling with one paddle. There was also a piece of
Speaker 1: wood in there, so they tried to use that as
Speaker 1: another paddle, but it's like a flat piece of plyboard.
Speaker 1: And the reason the plyboard was in there is because
Speaker 1: there's a hole in the bottom of the boat that
Speaker 1: they exposed when they ripped the plyboard up, so they
Speaker 1: started sinking and then ended up having to call nine
Speaker 1: to one one to get rescued. There you go, this
Speaker 1: is this is why you get a warehouse and you
Speaker 1: you get all the schematics gotta have you gotta have
Speaker 1: schematics kids, and then uh, you know, maybe just not
Speaker 1: do stuff like that absolutely because you had a plan.
Speaker 1: You had a plan that actually made sense, because they
Speaker 1: are going to be tracking your sue if you look
Speaker 1: how well they contract stuff. Do you know that they
Speaker 1: in San Francisco police identified Luigi four days before they
Speaker 1: arrested them almost immediately when that second picture came out.
Speaker 1: And the reason is is because authorities in San Francisco
Speaker 1: just a couple of weeks prior Luigi's family reported him
Speaker 1: missing an official missing person. This guy didn't just drop
Speaker 1: off the grid in Hawaii. They also found out that
Speaker 1: he decided he was going to go putts around Asia too.
Speaker 1: Does this guy work or is this it's got to
Speaker 1: be family money? I mean, I know he has a degree,
Speaker 1: but like, I haven't seen anything where he was working
Speaker 1: for the past few years. So the twenty six year
Speaker 1: old dropped off the face of the earth soon after
Speaker 1: leaving his living space in Hawaii. They now suspect he
Speaker 1: was around Asia based on some social media posts, spending
Speaker 1: quite a bit of time, quite a bit of time,
Speaker 1: months and months and months actually just hopping around Thailand,
Speaker 1: Japan and other Asian nations, although not going near the
Speaker 1: big stuff, but basically going in like living in tiny
Speaker 1: little villages. Yeah, I think Pete's right. I think this
Speaker 1: dude and kind of what we suspect Ross. I bet
Speaker 1: he's over there just doing all the drugs too. He's
Speaker 1: doing all the drugs he was doing all the drugs
Speaker 1: in Hawaii. And whether he's seeking them out because of
Speaker 1: the back issues or he just wants to see dragons,
Speaker 1: I don't know. But you couple that with the potential
Speaker 1: that he could have been essentially realizing that he might
Speaker 1: have schizophrenic caitch condition, which is something that happens around
Speaker 1: that age. There's a lot that we don't know. But
Speaker 1: immediately San Francisco recognized him, so they knew who it
Speaker 1: was because I saw people wondering, like, how is it
Speaker 1: Nobody recognizes this dude? What's going on? Well except for
Speaker 1: the McDonald's person, except for the McDonald's person, which I
Speaker 1: still haven't seen. If they got the sixty thousand dollars,
Speaker 1: I really want them to have that. So they they
Speaker 1: were onto him pretty quick, and then it was just
Speaker 1: a question trying to track him. Well, he essentially got
Speaker 1: rid of electronics. He wasn't posting on social media, so
Speaker 1: if not for the McDonald's person, it may still have
Speaker 1: been very, very difficult, unless they were using secure you know,
Speaker 1: their alien security drum is there to come find him,
Speaker 1: and he's probably screwed. All right, let me let me
Speaker 1: grab this. Uh No, I played that? Okay? I did
Speaker 1: play all the stock exchange audio. Thought I had one
Speaker 1: more left. And speaking of weirdness, the remember the guy
Speaker 1: in Wisconsin who faked his own death so he could
Speaker 1: go move to is Bekistan too because he met some
Speaker 1: met some hottie from his Bekistan on there who I'm
Speaker 1: sure her video camera was always broke. It sounds like
Speaker 1: it kind of was, because she would they only had
Speaker 1: photos and the one thing here and not video exchange.
Speaker 1: And and so he gets a he gets a kayak.
Speaker 1: He goes out in the middle of Green Lake, and
Speaker 1: he did so because it's the deepest lake in the
Speaker 1: state of Wisconsin. That's not a obviously not you know,
Speaker 1: Lake Superior or Lake Michigan. But so he goes out
Speaker 1: there intentionally, has a little rubber raft, gets that, paddles in,
Speaker 1: grabs a bus, rides the bus to Toronto, I think,
Speaker 1: clear customs without a driver's license, which is impressive. That's
Speaker 1: how I ended up on the radar. And then he
Speaker 1: flew to his Bekistan and his family thought he was dead.
Speaker 1: His community thought he was dead. They were already in
Speaker 1: the moving on phase. It had been quite some time. Well,
Speaker 1: then they figured out he wasn't dead. They figured out
Speaker 1: what was up, and they pled with him. They're like,
Speaker 1: please come home, and they had that sad picture of
Speaker 1: his family standing there, which I don't know why you'd
Speaker 1: want the guy back. He just left you for some
Speaker 1: random who which random was a Bekistan woman who may
Speaker 1: not be a woman or a person in whose Bekistan.
Speaker 1: As it turns out that may be the case, because
Speaker 1: you're reading the article and there's some clues in here. Well,
Speaker 1: dude came back and was taken into custody. Obviously there
Speaker 1: are crimes when you fake this, and they expend tens
Speaker 1: of thousands of dollars, and then there's the insurance broadside
Speaker 1: of it. So they took him into custody. I can't image.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine being a fly in the room on
Speaker 1: visitation day when that wife shows up for the first time. Now,
Speaker 1: the question I think you're all wondering is what about
Speaker 1: his new hottie in Uzbekistan? Well, they're being a little
Speaker 1: KOI here. Let's see. One of the investigators was this
Speaker 1: guy's name put All put All put All, and he
Speaker 1: announced that investigators to make contact with his name. Of
Speaker 1: the guy's name is Borgwalt. Who's the guy who tried
Speaker 1: to disappear himself, and they were quote pulling at his heartstrings.
Speaker 1: The sheriff told reporters are at a news conference that
Speaker 1: Borgwat returned to the US willingly, turned himself in and
Speaker 1: requested at Green Lake County Government Center. He said he
Speaker 1: at this time is declining to detail Borgwart's return trip,
Speaker 1: saying he got on an airplane and when asked what
Speaker 1: caused him to want to return, the sheriff with a
Speaker 1: slight chuckle, said that's going to be up to him someday.
Speaker 1: We're not gonna release that. But it wasn't good, and
Speaker 1: we brought a dad back on his own ross. There
Speaker 1: was no check, was there? Oh And when he got
Speaker 1: to Uzbekistan, they he said that some stranger met him
Speaker 1: and made him go to Georgia and not Atlanta Georgia,
Speaker 1: the other Georgia. So it sounds like this dude may
Speaker 1: went over there, got absolutely rolled and had no choice
Speaker 1: but to return. And that's pretty bad because think about
Speaker 1: what you're think about the buzzsaw. You're coming back in
Speaker 1: all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. That's the phone number, Ray Stagic. He's got
Speaker 1: his own special line.
Speaker 6: Yeah special.

Speaker 4: Man?
Speaker 6: You know not much? So what what do you really
Speaker 6: think of the Belichick higher? What's the under over on wins?
Speaker 6: I say less than six.
Speaker 1: Here's here's what I think. It's pretty genary. I think
Speaker 1: it's gonna whatever way it's gonna end end spectacularly.
Speaker 6: Yes, really really good or really really bad.
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of I don't think so, I
Speaker 1: don't think in a press conference, yesterday and and I
Speaker 1: was watching it and he's like my first my first
Speaker 1: words as a baby were beat Duke. And I'm like, I.
Speaker 6: Just if he's going to do the recruiting, could you see, Hey,
Speaker 6: we're gonna have Bill over for dinner.
Speaker 1: I mean they talked about that, I know his thing.
Speaker 6: They definitely got to do like a follow around with him.
Speaker 6: But anyway, next few days, I think we're going to
Speaker 6: be in good shape. There is some rain in the forecast.
Speaker 6: Don't look like a bunch on Sunday, but today and
Speaker 6: tomorrow will rain free. Start to see some clouds come
Speaker 6: in from the west today, mid fifties. Try it may
Speaker 6: stay in the low fifties, low mid thirties. Tonight we
Speaker 6: will clear those. That batch of clouds goes through Saturday,
Speaker 6: looks good up the low fifties and then that light
Speaker 6: rain possible on Sunday. We kind of get wedged in
Speaker 6: with a northeast breeze, so maybe a little cooler, stay
Speaker 6: in the forties of the triad west into the mountains,
Speaker 6: low fifties, and then around the Triangle, and then Monday
Speaker 6: suns back we'd get back into the sixties. Might hit
Speaker 6: seventy by Tuesday with the next chance of showers next
Speaker 6: week does look a little unsettled. But I don't see
Speaker 6: the wintery presept We're kind of every other day looking
Speaker 6: at some rain and shower chances. So you know, we'll
Speaker 6: be busy. We'll be busy. So that's a good thing.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know you want it.
Speaker 6: Yeah, absolutely, you want that weather. And what do you like?

Speaker 1: and Baltimore.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well, what is it? Bill's lines? Is the best
Speaker 6: team Sunday?
Speaker 1: Right? I think we don't speak of that.
Speaker 6: Oh don't we don't? Okay? Sorry? Ross?
Speaker 1: Why are you bringing up Ross? That's well, Bills right
Speaker 1: to see here, nothing to.
Speaker 6: See, nothing to see them break see up? A good weekend?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, Yeah, we don't need to
