Speaker 1: Why is that trying to do that? Okay, it's been
Speaker 1: a morning, so I'm just gonna point that out from
Speaker 1: a technical standpoint, but we'll go ahead and get a
Speaker 1: truck in. So coming up on the show, all right,
Speaker 1: thank you, Yes, I'm aware that it reads that. Appreciate that.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up on the show. Everyone's an activist.
Speaker 1: Everybody's got a little hustle going, not necessarily the people
Speaker 1: you thought that you'd be dealing with on the on
Speaker 1: the daily, but you know, we'll go ahead and get
Speaker 1: it done. People got to reinvent themselves. They got to
Speaker 1: figure out what their passions are. And for some apparently
Speaker 1: it is eighth or ninth semester. Abortion activists not a
Speaker 1: thing that you know, you kind of expect to stumble
Speaker 1: upon on the regular. But sure enough, dude, Like the
Speaker 1: popularity of the Internet is addicting. I understand that, but
Speaker 1: like we have no filter, no shame filter at any
Speaker 1: point where somebody goes, you know what, maybe I'm not
Speaker 1: a recipe influencer if I'm Jeffrey Dahmer. Right, at no
Speaker 1: point does Dahmer go well, I mean obviously he wouldn't now,
Speaker 1: but at no point does he go you know what,
Speaker 1: probably not a recipe, the influencer, probably not a cooking guy.
Speaker 1: But yet we have this, like, we have this redemption
Speaker 1: curve in modern society where anyone is able to remove
Speaker 1: the shame of who they be, and it's it's like
Speaker 1: a bridge too far with all this insanity. Case in point,
Speaker 1: there is a new feminism LGBT activist influencer who decided
Speaker 1: they were going to make their first video yesterday, send
Speaker 1: it out into the wild, and I guess people were
Speaker 1: going to gravitate towards it. I mean, I have to
Speaker 1: assume that they thought that the people gravitating towards it
Speaker 1: were doing so just for the weird factor, right, Not
Speaker 1: because they're like, oh, that seems like a good person
Speaker 1: to give us advice on lifestyle stuff, but because it's
Speaker 1: a car wreck like everything else on the internet, that
Speaker 1: they can stare at and be entertained and therefore give
Speaker 1: their attention to so that this individual can monetize this stuff.
Speaker 1: Case in point, do you remember Casey Anthony? Are we serious? Ross?
Speaker 1: Are we serious that Greensboro is not working again? This morning?
Speaker 1: Because I know you need yeah, I know you need
Speaker 1: to report. Ross has been absolutely inundated this morning, just
Speaker 1: absolutely crushed this morning. So all right, so he's gonna
Speaker 1: go kick the cord out of the wall. So well,
Speaker 1: while I'm doing that, or while he's doing that, let's
Speaker 1: just go ahead and get into this, and I guess
Speaker 1: I'll reset. So Casey Anthony, you know her at well,
Speaker 1: you know what, she'll tell you who she is. She'll
Speaker 1: remind you not just the one who had all the
Speaker 1: like the like the hotty photos with her partying about
Speaker 1: the time that she went to actual trial. But apparently
Speaker 1: she's decided, you know what, I need to be an
Speaker 1: influencer of some sort. So that's where we find ourselves
Speaker 1: this morning. And so she put a whole damn video,
Speaker 1: whole video out and it's really hard not to wiggle
Speaker 1: in your seat listening to this insanity. But I had
Speaker 1: to suffer through it, so now you do too.
Speaker 2: Oday is Saturday, March first, twenty twenty five. This is
Speaker 2: my first of probably many recordings on a series that
Speaker 2: I'm starting. I am a legal advocate, I am a researcher.
Speaker 2: I've been in the legal field since twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: Oh and wait, how'd you how'd you get in the
Speaker 1: legal field? What what what what? What thrust you into
Speaker 1: the into the spotlight? Anything in particular? All right, well,
Speaker 1: we'll just put that decide for now. Continue miss Casey Anthony.
Speaker 3: In this capacity.
Speaker 2: I feel that it's necessary, if I'm going to continue
Speaker 2: need to operate appropriately as a legal advocate, that I
Speaker 2: start to advocate for myself and also advocate for my daughter.
Speaker 3: For those of you who don't know, my name is
Speaker 3: Casey Anthony, my daughter.
Speaker 1: Well, you mean you're going to advocate for your daughter. Huh,
Speaker 1: which daughter is that?
Speaker 2: Anthony? My parents are George and Cindy Anthony. This is
Speaker 2: not about them. This is not in response to anything
Speaker 2: that they have said or done. That's not to say
Speaker 2: that I'm not going to respond at some point to
Speaker 2: some of the things that they have said and done.
Speaker 1: Well, hold on, what did they say? I'm less concerned
Speaker 1: about your parents. What did your daughter say? And do
Speaker 1: do you remember? Do you have a particular incident that
Speaker 1: your daughter said or did something she might have done
Speaker 1: that's prompted you to bring that weirdness up, by the way,
Speaker 1: in the active person. That's the other thing brought that
Speaker 1: up a in a in an active manner about your
Speaker 1: your daughter is she is she thinking up new stuff.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Continue your explanation.
Speaker 2: Point of this is for me to begin to reintroduce myself.
Speaker 2: I'm doing this both personally for me but in a
Speaker 2: professional capacity.
Speaker 1: Okay, I don't even know how to respond to that.
Speaker 1: So what is it you're doing? Let me just let
Speaker 1: me just skip over all the weirdness and and and
Speaker 1: the questions that I have in my mind right now.
Speaker 1: What is what the F? Okay, just explain to me
Speaker 1: what the F? Because I am so creeped out right
Speaker 1: now as to what it is You're you're threatening, or
Speaker 1: you're you're promising, or you're telling people that you're doing. Specifically,
Speaker 1: what's your gig if not only fans, which I assumed
Speaker 1: is where you'd end up. But we're not here yet.
Speaker 4: What the f?
Speaker 2: One of the main reasons that I'm doing this there
Speaker 2: are people close to me who have been targeted and
Speaker 2: attacked recently.
Speaker 1: They're also right, Yeah, yeah, I can. Is there anyone
Speaker 1: close to you who was targeted and attacked that you
Speaker 1: can think of? Oh, we're not coming up with example. Okay,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I thought we're coming up with examples because
Speaker 1: I had some names for that list.
Speaker 2: People close to me who have had some some recent
Speaker 2: things occur, and one necessary people needed to step up.
Speaker 3: Myself included. So as a proponent for.
Speaker 2: The LGBTQ community, for legal community women's rights, I feel
Speaker 2: that it's important that I use this platform that was
Speaker 2: thrust upon me and now look at as a blessing
Speaker 2: as opposed to the curse.
Speaker 3: That it is ben since two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: Okay, thrust upon you. You're just sitting there, nothing's going on.
Speaker 1: All of a sudden, you know, knock, knock, knock. If
Speaker 1: I could just knock on the microphone there, knock, knock, knocked,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden you're thrust into the spotlight.
Speaker 1: Nothing happened. It just happened. You were just sitting there,
Speaker 1: just mining your own business and your little referee shirt
Speaker 1: with your little panties on and the thing unstepped. These
Speaker 1: are photos, by the way, that emerged of her at parties,
Speaker 1: So I didn't just make this up out of some
Speaker 1: weird fantasy. I did review the photos though, because you know,
Speaker 1: you do the research, and then that just popped up
Speaker 1: the excuse me, the feminist angles interesting. The LGBTQ is
Speaker 1: that because you were making out with a girl in
Speaker 1: that one series of photos when you're wearing your little
Speaker 1: and wearing your little outfit at the party that the
Speaker 1: phot is Is that what we're talking about? So like, like,
Speaker 1: I'm super confused about this, But nowhere in any timeline
Speaker 1: that I ever envisioned was Casey Anthony, an LGBT feminism
Speaker 1: activist who decided they needed to start. And who's listening
Speaker 1: to that? Do you think it's people that are honestly like,
Speaker 1: you know what, I wonder what this woman has to
Speaker 1: say about and then you know, insert whatever the issue is,
Speaker 1: or do you think it's people going dear Jesus, look
Speaker 1: at this. But you know, like Jeffrey Damas Jeffrey Dahmer
Speaker 1: is a cooking influencer. He's like coming up on the
Speaker 1: show today brining why brining is important before you eat
Speaker 1: the you know, the the the young male neighbor that
Speaker 1: came over dip in ranch dressing who tried to flirt.
Speaker 4: You know, uh, get out of here.
Speaker 1: We're gonna, we're gonna, we're gonna go ahead and we're
Speaker 1: gonna I'm gonna teach you about brinding.
Speaker 4: For this dude.
Speaker 1: It's so weird, and yet that the technology of today
Speaker 1: makes it possible. So you know, we're gonna we're gonna
Speaker 1: do a little more of this, like it's a car
Speaker 1: wreck you can't look away from, and yet it's now
Speaker 1: gonna be a thing. So there you go. That's how
Speaker 1: we'll start the morning. Because you know I had to
Speaker 1: know about it, now you do too. Six eighteen. Hang on,
Speaker 1: you're not gonna see it today, but I'm gonna snap, okay,
Speaker 1: which I don't do very often, but it's going to
Speaker 1: happen today. So let me just we just put everyone
Speaker 1: on notice who I work with. This is insane what
Speaker 1: continues to be a problem with my Greensboro connection, and.
Speaker 4: I hate it.
Speaker 1: I hate it for all of you, and I hate
Speaker 1: that we're dealing with this. And it's just poor Ross
Speaker 1: can plug and unplug literally while I'm on the air
Speaker 1: so many times it and there's other stuff going on
Speaker 1: behind the scenes. There's obviously an issue. So yeah, I'll
Speaker 1: go ahead and mention it on air, so we are
Speaker 1: working on it. I apologize those of you who are
Speaker 1: affected because you're not able to learn that Casey Anthony
Speaker 1: is now a relationship and wellness and activist expert, which
Speaker 1: is one of the craziest things I've ever heard. This
Speaker 1: society that we've created. This is and I'm sorry because
Speaker 1: I'm mentally stewing on the tech stuff right now. We've
Speaker 1: went too far in eliminating shame. Okay, yes, I understand
Speaker 1: that Casey Anthony was found not guilty, so was OJ.
Speaker 4: But like, and it's not that she did it.
Speaker 1: It's not that she recorded a video and uploaded it
Speaker 1: and it wasn't eliminated from the internet. It's that she
Speaker 1: thought she could do it. It's that she thought that
Speaker 1: it would be well received and it might be like
Speaker 1: there might be enough people out of sheer morbid curiosity
Speaker 1: who go, yeah, yeah, I'm gonna sign up for her
Speaker 1: substack because I want to hear what she says. And yes,
Speaker 1: I'm sharing it with you, but I'm sharing it with
Speaker 1: you to make a point, not that like, hey, you
Speaker 1: may like this, even if I think it's insane, but
Speaker 1: rather like, mentally, we don't exist anymore in a society
Speaker 1: where somebody goes, no, that would be insane. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to do that because everyone thinks I murdered my
Speaker 1: young daughter. Because everyone thinks you murdered your young daughter,
Speaker 1: not the technical aspect of you weren't found guilty of it,
Speaker 1: but rather you know what's up. Everyone knows what's up.
Speaker 1: And yes, I could be cynical and go, oh, okay, well,
Speaker 1: she's going to be a you know, third way feminist activist,
Speaker 1: whatever the hell that is, or an LGBT activist, which
Speaker 1: is not a thing that I understand, you know, based
Speaker 1: on her story what got her there? Is she by that?
Speaker 1: I'm unaware it because I know she likes the dudes
Speaker 1: because they have all the you know, her at parties,
Speaker 1: literally after Casey is dead, slutting it up at parties,
Speaker 1: like that's the thing? Am I going to snap like
Speaker 1: Casey Anthony or OJ?
Speaker 4: Maybe?
Speaker 1: Maybe maybe emailer, Maybe that's gonna happen. I don't have
Speaker 1: a wife, a wife's lover, or a child, so I'll
Speaker 1: have to dig deep in my victim pool. Maybe it'll
Speaker 1: be emailers who email me dumb stuff. I don't know,
Speaker 1: long as I get off not like that, well maybe
Speaker 1: that too, Maybe that'll be a motivator, and then, you know,
Speaker 1: get off from a legal person. I don't know, but
Speaker 1: like the permissiveness of society where you're just like and
Speaker 1: you know, everybody's opinion is valid. I just want to
Speaker 1: I want people to think I might that's how you
Speaker 1: get things done these days. So any who, Yeah, we're.
Speaker 4: We're on it.
Speaker 1: So but I guess, well, now people, did we get
Speaker 1: a restart in Greensboro?
Speaker 4: What do we house that?
Speaker 1: Look, that's totally okay, that's host jez okay, all right,
Speaker 1: Oh should we do a show? I mean, I don't
Speaker 1: want to be like, I don't want to be drama
Speaker 1: queen King. I don't know what's appropriate here, Like, I
Speaker 1: don't understand this. I don't understand how this or your
Speaker 1: login stuff contain. And by the way, this is not
Speaker 1: on Ross. Just let me be abundantly clear here. He's
Speaker 1: not doing anything that he hasn't done for literally how
Speaker 1: what like twelve years, thirteen years, fourteen years. It's just
Speaker 1: it's just so absolutely insane. And you have to understand
Speaker 1: we're going through a big like construction transition in the
Speaker 1: main studios in Raleigh, right It's it's a whole thing.
Speaker 1: Like I don't know that I could do a Greensboro
Speaker 1: is it right now? I don't know that I have
Speaker 1: that level of confidence. It's just wild to me, so anyway,
Speaker 1: I'll get myself in trouble. All right, I'll be an
Speaker 1: a hole after the show. Well, I'll be an a
Speaker 1: hole during the show, because you know that's what's expected.
Speaker 1: But it's just so absolutely frustrating how this continues to
Speaker 1: be an issue. But we will truck on. So Casey
Speaker 1: Anthony is a health and wellness influencer. Now that's a thing.
Speaker 1: I honestly, if you'd asked me to predict that for
Speaker 1: you know, literally any time leading up to this, would
Speaker 1: never have guessed it. But that's the thing. And then
Speaker 1: I have to start thinking societally how that works, how
Speaker 1: that like I assume, and she'd doing only fans, as
Speaker 1: bad as that sound, only because there were all of
Speaker 1: these pictures that emerged of her in public settings, basically
Speaker 1: showing off the goods right where one of the narratives
Speaker 1: that quickly became a parent during the trial, when you
Speaker 1: were seeing all of these photos of her still going
Speaker 1: to these house parties and thoughting it up for lack
Speaker 1: of a better term, like that would have been the
Speaker 1: natural transition, only because normally the way that it would
Speaker 1: have played out, we as a society would have never
Speaker 1: accepted her in the normal space. Right, she would have
Speaker 1: been a sideshow attraction that people would have looked at like,
Speaker 1: all right, let's see, let's see how you look topless.
Speaker 1: I'll probably get myself in trouble with this, but you
Speaker 1: understand what I'm saying though, right, nobody would have taken
Speaker 1: her seriously as some sort of activist advocate. Because even
Speaker 1: though yes, she was able to find a jury in Florida,
Speaker 1: who went, nah, I'm sure you didn't murder your little
Speaker 1: girl and then not called police for what thirty days?
Speaker 1: Let me just revisit what happened. Kaylee's gone and then
Speaker 1: for a month. And I want you to process that
Speaker 1: as a parent from if your kid, your baby, essentially
Speaker 1: what was Kaylee too?
Speaker 4: For you?
Speaker 1: And I don't have kids, so I'm gonna have to
Speaker 1: throw this out to you as parents, if your toddler
Speaker 1: was missing for a month, at no point would you
Speaker 1: call authority. I can't, I can't. I can't wrap my
Speaker 1: brain around that. I can't see any scenario if a
Speaker 1: two year old I knew of not even mine, not
Speaker 1: my brothers, not my sisters, not my cousins, not my neighbors,
Speaker 1: but a two not Ross's not Trevor. Not you know
Speaker 1: people we work with, not anyone. If I knew you
Speaker 1: even passively, and I knew that your two year old, whoopsie,
Speaker 1: where'd they go for a month. I'm calling. I'm gonna snitch.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna, I'm gonna, I'm gonna. I'm gonna potentially get stitches,
Speaker 1: because that's what snitches get, they get stitches.
Speaker 4: I'm on the phone with police.
Speaker 1: I'm like, this person I met once but I know
Speaker 1: has a two year old. I just found out their
Speaker 1: two year old's been missing for them. I'm calling police.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get on that because there're two and that
Speaker 1: that's crazy. And and yet that person sits there and go,
Speaker 1: you know what, I think society would accept me as
Speaker 1: some sort of lifestyle influencer. That would be so crazy.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna play this audio again and listen to the
Speaker 1: way that she talks about what you know is her backstory.
Speaker 2: Hey is a Saturday, March first, twenty twenty five.
Speaker 3: This is my first And if.
Speaker 1: You'd done it a month from now, April first, at least,
Speaker 1: then I'd be like, well, it's probably that, it's probably
Speaker 1: not real, it's probably the other thing.
Speaker 4: And even then it would be wildly inappropriate.
Speaker 1: And yet this hey is.
Speaker 2: A Saturday, March first, twenty twenty five. This is my
Speaker 2: first of probably many recordings on a series that I'm starting.
Speaker 2: I am a legal advocate, I am a researcher. I've
Speaker 2: been in the legal field since twenty eleven.
Speaker 1: Right, you've been in the legal field as a lawyer
Speaker 1: or again, I'm gonna keep pointing this town. What do
Speaker 1: you mean you've been in the legal field? The hell
Speaker 1: does that mean?
Speaker 2: And in this capacity, I feel that it's necessary if
Speaker 2: I'm going to continue to operate appropriately as a legal advocate,
Speaker 2: that I start to advocate for myself and also advocate
Speaker 2: for my daughter. For those of you who don't know,
Speaker 2: my name is Kasey Anthony. My daughter is Kaylee Anthony.
Speaker 2: Parents or George and Cindy Anthony. This is not about them.
Speaker 2: This is not in response to anything that they have
Speaker 2: or done. That's not to say that I'm not going
Speaker 2: to respond at some point to some of the things that.
Speaker 3: They have said and done.
Speaker 2: The whole point of this is for me to begin
Speaker 2: to reintroduce myself. I'm doing this both personally for me,
Speaker 2: but in a professional capacity.
Speaker 1: It's It's one of the most insane things that I've
Speaker 1: ever seen. And then I again, as I'm trying to
Speaker 1: lay it out this morning, but like words are failing me,
Speaker 1: how crazy this is. I have to assume what prompted
Speaker 1: her to think that this would be well received. And
Speaker 1: then I realized that societally, we live in a place
Speaker 1: where you can shame stuff for Like here's what you're
Speaker 1: allowed to shame people for voting for Trump. Although that's lessening,
Speaker 1: but like you could, you know, societally, we lived in
Speaker 1: a place where you could you could derail somebody's career
Speaker 1: for that, not because they made a statement, not because
Speaker 1: they tried to wave at you and their arm was
Speaker 1: too angled and then their hand was up and you're like,
Speaker 1: oh my gosh, that's what Hitler did. Like, not any
Speaker 1: of that, just the the sheer act, which is why
Speaker 1: you had all these surprising election results where people are like,
Speaker 1: how the heck did he win? Nobody I know was
Speaker 1: voted well, nobody thought, nobody was comfortable enough to tell you,
Speaker 1: And so you you end up with the same scenario,
Speaker 1: and you could you could shame people for that, you
Speaker 1: could scarlet letter them, you could you could deplatform them.
Speaker 1: You could get them in trouble at work when it
Speaker 1: went with the vaccine stuff, if somebody went, you know,
Speaker 1: I'm not comfortable with this.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I just I don't feel like a hurried process on
Speaker 1: a new style of technology with you know, mRNA like
Speaker 1: you know, where somebody couldn't speak out of that you
Speaker 1: could literally get them fired. And yet you could have
Speaker 1: Casey Anthony come on and feel that it's just perfectly
Speaker 1: comfortable to go ahead and and and and and not
Speaker 1: even just to do something that sounds you know, generic,
Speaker 1: but to literally lean into that particular subject matter and
Speaker 1: nobody would lose their mind over it. And look, I
Speaker 1: run the gamut between cancel culture and never should have
Speaker 1: tried this culture. But yet we find ourselves where somebody
Speaker 1: thinks that this is a winning strategy and has to
Speaker 1: word it in the way that she's wording it.
Speaker 2: One of the main reasons that I'm doing this there
Speaker 2: are people close to me who have been targeted and
Speaker 2: attacked recently. They are also people close to me who
Speaker 2: have had some some recent things occur.
Speaker 1: Who and what I'm very curious the scenario here. What
Speaker 1: does that mean is that the dude who ditched his
Speaker 1: family so that he could have sex with you, because
Speaker 1: that's a thing. There was a guy and I don't
Speaker 1: know name, but I remember seeing the story not that
Speaker 1: long ago, who literally started hooking up with you. He
Speaker 1: was married with a family, and he's just like, you know,
Speaker 1: if the family this apparently, it's apparently whatever you're packing
Speaker 1: is great. That's all I can.
Speaker 2: Think about, and one necessary people needed to step up,
Speaker 2: myself included. So as a proponent for the LGBTQ community,
Speaker 2: for legal community women's rights, I feel that it's important
Speaker 2: that I use this platform that was thrust upon me
Speaker 2: and now look at as a blessing as opposed to
Speaker 2: the curse that it has been since two thousand and eight.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so again it's it's one of the
Speaker 1: craziest things this morning. So we got that going for
Speaker 1: you coming up on the show. If you're gonna go
Speaker 1: get a looney tune, speaking of Florida, if you're gonna
Speaker 1: go Looney Tunes and decide to do some sort of
Speaker 1: justice that at the end is still vandalism, probably should
Speaker 1: check the tag on the car. So we'll all learn
Speaker 1: that together. We've got more wildfires to talk about, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna do the tariff thing. Plus Trump's got an
Speaker 1: address tonight, so it's a busy it's a busy day
Speaker 1: even in spite of whatever. This is where Casey Anthony
Speaker 1: is now a legal advocate slash LGBTQT LGBTQ plus influencer.
Speaker 1: That's the morning, that's the world you're waking up to today.
Speaker 1: So we'll get into that. And if Twitter was anything overnight,
Speaker 1: it was a Trump assassin conspiracy theory zone. But it's interesting, right,
Speaker 1: so we'll touch on those details. Let's see here, we've
Speaker 1: got some sports stuff to get into, not any not
Speaker 1: anyone who turned heel, but we got our own stuff
Speaker 1: and we'll we'll we'll document all this. But anyway, six
Speaker 1: forty seven phone number eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 1: seven eight seven four hang on. Casey Anthony is a
Speaker 1: lifestyle influencer and activists, so she can come out and
Speaker 1: lecture us on feminine what is feminism? Killing your own
Speaker 1: kid allegedly though not apparently under the legal framework, so
Speaker 1: that you can party more. Somebody pointed this out because
Speaker 1: I was talking about the dude who literally like left
Speaker 1: his family to go hook up with her again. That's
Speaker 1: that's whatever. That is got to be amazing whatever she's
Speaker 1: working down there, So good for him. But somebody pointed
Speaker 1: out like that, now there's a dude who never has
Speaker 1: to worry about a pregnancy scare.
Speaker 4: It's that.
Speaker 1: It's a good point, right, It's you're never like because like,
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's one of the things that would
Speaker 1: stew in the back of some guy's minds. They're just like,
Speaker 1: what happens if I knocked this check up? Oh, never mind,
Speaker 1: it'll be handled. I don't know. Maybe maybe that's what's
Speaker 1: going through and I'd be irritated by that take. But
Speaker 1: that's a good one, so kudos to our emailer there.
Speaker 1: Tim Walls says he is running for president or might
Speaker 1: run for president in twenty twenty eight, and he is
Speaker 1: fueled by a handful of people online going, no, this
Speaker 1: is amazing. You should totally do that. By the way,
Speaker 1: I'm one of those people. Can I just be clear here,
Speaker 1: I want Tim Walls to run for president. I would
Speaker 1: enjoy that. That would make my job easier. The audio
Speaker 1: would be a mate ross. You want Tim Walls to
Speaker 1: run for president, maybe even capture the Democrat No nation
Speaker 1: in twenty twenty eight.
Speaker 4: You know, you know, I think he is a shot
Speaker 4: to do it. Do it feel? I feel great about it?
Speaker 1: Let's see who is he being interviewed by the New
Speaker 1: york I'll get back to the cat story. Don't worry,
Speaker 1: he said, he tells the New Yorker radio show. Because
Speaker 1: everyone's got a radio show.
Speaker 4: I don't know.
Speaker 1: Maybe their tech works better, so maybe they should have
Speaker 1: a radio show.
Speaker 4: He said.
Speaker 1: Look, I never had an ambition to be president or
Speaker 1: vice president. I was honored to be asked if I
Speaker 1: feel I can serve, I will, and if nationally people
Speaker 1: are like, dude, we tried you, and look how that
Speaker 1: worked out. I'm also good with that. But I think
Speaker 1: I offer something unique. I am considering it. You do
Speaker 1: offer something unique, Like you got exposed for being absolutely
Speaker 1: full of crap, and not just in the normal politician way,
Speaker 1: like with specific things where you had to, you know,
Speaker 1: aw shucks, an apology but not really an apology, and
Speaker 1: you never felt any shame. And I think that's what
Speaker 1: this breaks down to today. Bring back shame. Do you
Speaker 1: remember how shame used to work? I know people are like,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't feel shameful, and in a lot of cases,
Speaker 1: you shouldn't, okay. I think if you're being honest, you're
Speaker 1: being your your true self, and you're not doing so
Speaker 1: in an insane way. You're just being like, look, this
Speaker 1: is me. In the same way that maybe people felt
Speaker 1: that they were comfortable telling their coworkers and loved ones
Speaker 1: politically who they supported and what. You know what, I'm
Speaker 1: not going to be ashamed of this anymore. They're just
Speaker 1: gonna have to deal with that in certain circumstances. I
Speaker 1: agree with you. But for some things, you should feel
Speaker 1: shame for potentially murdering your child and then go into
Speaker 1: parties and horn it up. It used to be you'd
Speaker 1: feel shame about that. For coming onto the main stage
Speaker 1: and two or three of the things that are the
Speaker 1: main part of your identity, you turn out to be
Speaker 1: absolutely full of crap. The whole world knows that you
Speaker 1: were lying. You should feel shame. Richard Blumenthal, the senator
Speaker 1: who lied and said that he went to Vietnam, which
Speaker 1: he didn't, You should feel shame. But we've created a
Speaker 1: society where shame doesn't impact you. And maybe that's a problem.
Speaker 1: And look, maybe part of it is because we've decided
Speaker 1: that the only shame is not the true shame, but
Speaker 1: rather the manufactured shame. Or they're just like this person
Speaker 1: voted for Trump, so they have to be excluded from society.
Speaker 1: And we went through a period where people were comfortable
Speaker 1: doing that, where you could tell your entire family, but
Speaker 1: because you disagreed politically and they didn't care, right, they
Speaker 1: didn't care. They're just like, all right, well, whatever, you're
Speaker 1: still our brother, sister, or father or mother or whatever
Speaker 1: it is. We've created a false sense of shame, one
Speaker 1: that is politically useful, but it isn't really representative of
Speaker 1: the way that people honestly feel about things.
Speaker 4: That's a problem.
Speaker 1: So, whether it's Tim Walls running or Casey Anthony, assuming
Speaker 1: that people will accept her as anything more than a
Speaker 1: sideshow attraction is just wild to me. And yet here
Speaker 1: we are. So that's why I pair those two stories together. Now,
Speaker 1: let me get back to this cat story, because you
Speaker 1: all know how much I love cats. So this family
Speaker 1: with a twelve year old girl who's got this cat.
Speaker 1: The cat is her emotional support cat. I guess she's
Speaker 1: on the spectrum. Anyway, three weeks before they're getting ready
Speaker 1: to move, and they don't move directly from one house
Speaker 1: to the other. They have a little like two week downtime,
Speaker 1: so I guess they're staying with relatives or something. I
Speaker 1: don't know, they're staying with somebody. So Walla, Walla, Washington.
Speaker 1: It's on the eastern side of Washington. The moving company
Speaker 1: shows up. They package all of their stuff.
Speaker 4: The family.
Speaker 1: While they're waiting for their new stuff to be delivered
Speaker 1: their new house to be available in Eugene, Oregon, they
Speaker 1: go stay with some folks in Seattle, so they don't
Speaker 1: really have access to their stuff, and they're just they're
Speaker 1: dealing with this loss. They're dealing with the fact that
Speaker 1: their little girls devastated. The cats nowhere to be found.
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe they're hoping it turns into one
Speaker 1: of those years, you know, the story is where an
Speaker 1: animal runs away, the family moves, and then it's amazing
Speaker 1: because somehow the critter found its way to the new
Speaker 1: house and it shows up one day and it ends
Speaker 1: up in the news. Right, those are crazy stories, but
Speaker 1: they happen from time to time, and so maybe they're
Speaker 1: hoping for that. So fast forward to three weeks later,
Speaker 1: they're in the new house. The delivery truck shows up,
Speaker 1: they haul all the boxes, all the furniture in and
Speaker 1: they're unpacking and all the furniture, by the way, is
Speaker 1: all shrink wrapped.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 1: If you get a professional company, that's one of the
Speaker 1: things that they'll do, so there's not damaged any of
Speaker 1: your stuff. I've been through it. Maybe some of you
Speaker 1: have been through it. It's very nice. So it all
Speaker 1: shows up. The family's going through and unpacking and something
Speaker 1: crazy happens. They literally start unwrapping all of the living
Speaker 1: room furniture, so the the chair, the TV, the couch,
Speaker 1: and as they're unwrapping the couch cutting through it, they
Speaker 1: start to hear a noise and it's a meow. At first,
Speaker 1: they don't know where it's coming from. They just they
Speaker 1: hear this faint mewing sound and they're like, what is
Speaker 1: this say, this sounds like a cat. That's crazy. So
Speaker 1: they get the all the shrink wrap off the couch.
Speaker 1: The mewing gets louder. It was then they realize, holy crap,
Speaker 1: there's a cat the couch. Because you know how cats
Speaker 1: will get down there raws your cat, well, your cat
Speaker 1: get like down in the inside of the couch.
Speaker 4: Your cat do that?
Speaker 1: I mean especially if there's plastic, maybe there were.
Speaker 4: Cats will get anywhere. Yeah, those times were like where's
Speaker 4: eleanor where where's Elliett. We have no idea that they
Speaker 4: get out of the house, and like they just show
Speaker 4: up like twenty minutes later.
Speaker 1: Right right where you hiding and you get down in
Speaker 1: the couch. Man, there's little pockets in there. That's where
Speaker 1: the cat was. So this family realizes the cat didn't
Speaker 1: run away for whatever reason, it embedded itself in the
Speaker 1: couch and it just had to it timed out. Then
Speaker 1: the company shows up. They shrink wrapped the cat. The
Speaker 1: cat is now permanently in the couch.
Speaker 4: How long was it in the couch?
Speaker 1: For three weeks and it traveled one fifty miles inside
Speaker 1: this couch, which arguably should probably have some air cut off.
Speaker 1: I guess maybe they did. It's not wrapped that tight.
Speaker 1: So there's the cat. So now they're on the news
Speaker 1: and like, our cat's a miracle cat. The family removed
Speaker 1: Sonny Loo the cat and immediately hauled the cat to
Speaker 1: a vet, where the cat was in the clinic's ICU
Speaker 1: for three days but made a full recovery and according
Speaker 1: to doctor Dixon, the vet we don't medically, I don't
Speaker 1: have an answer how the cat survived. It'srue, well, it
Speaker 1: probably there's probably down in the couch. What do you
Speaker 1: think stewing in your couch right now? Probably some Cheetoh's
Speaker 1: some crack, especially at kids, right they'll spill stuff all
Speaker 1: over the couch gets down in there. So I guess
Speaker 1: maybe the cat had something to eat. But there's this
Speaker 1: like miracle cat. I have another theory. Maybe your cat's
Speaker 1: a demon, dude, A lot of cats are, because like otherwise,
Speaker 1: how does a non demon survive in there for three weeks?
Speaker 1: It doesn't have water? Can it maybe has some crackers
Speaker 1: whatever you fill down in the couch. So for all
Speaker 1: you cat people, man, that's you should probably hit that
Speaker 1: thing with some holy water. I don't know why the
Speaker 1: vet didn't do it, but yeah, I don't know if
Speaker 1: I'm buying that story. Three weeks is a long time
Speaker 1: without food or water, and I understand the cat had
Speaker 1: to go and get a little icyu action, but still, man,
Speaker 1: oh wait, hold on, yes, Donna, what's up?
Speaker 6: Good morning, case. I just wanted you to know that
Speaker 6: you're sounding good on iHeartRadio. Okay, good, But my mother
Speaker 6: in the kitchen with the analog radio is very upset.
Speaker 1: Yeah, they're working on it. They're working on it.
Speaker 6: So she missed the cat story, which is me, Wow,
Speaker 6: that was a great story.
Speaker 1: No, why is that a great story? That cat is
Speaker 1: probably literally possessed by a demon. That's the only way
Speaker 1: to know.
Speaker 6: He's living on cereal and doritos and.
Speaker 1: He'll be fine, but not water.
Speaker 6: I know. It's amazing. Yeah, that is amazing.
Speaker 1: Well do you you have cats?
Speaker 4: Right? So?
Speaker 6: One?
Speaker 7: Yes?
Speaker 6: One?
Speaker 1: All right? So a houseful?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: So here, well it probably feels like that. Do me
Speaker 1: a favorite stuff that cat? Do you have a couch?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 4: All right?
Speaker 1: So I need you to stuff that cat and the couch,
Speaker 1: and then I need you to uh shrink wrap the
Speaker 1: couch for three I just want to see how it
Speaker 1: pans out.
Speaker 6: No way, dude, you do it.
Speaker 1: You come on over, probably the thick gardening gloves. Just
Speaker 1: to be just to be clear. So does your cat
Speaker 1: have a little things that will disappear into or you
Speaker 1: don't know where it is?
Speaker 6: Yeah, she likes to go under my mother's bed.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so under the bed and then shrink
Speaker 1: wrap the whole bed for three weeks. It just I
Speaker 1: need you to run an experiment for me, Donna, so
Speaker 1: I can decide whether this is a supernatural thing or real.
Speaker 6: They do have superpowers, you know, they really can amaze.
Speaker 1: This is amazing, this is this is perhaps the work
Speaker 1: of Satan.
Speaker 6: So I think they probably hold back, you know, fluids,
Speaker 6: and they don't need to eat like we do.
Speaker 1: Because don't hold back fluids. That's why you'll walk into
Speaker 1: a room and you'll be like, what the hell is
Speaker 1: that smell? And then it's cat urine. Like they have
Speaker 1: problem blessing everyone with their own version of Satan's holy water,
Speaker 1: which is that's true?
Speaker 6: Yeah, I am sucked because my cat drinks water constantly.
Speaker 6: She loves water. She don't want to go in it,
Speaker 6: but she wants one, you know, she drinks out of
Speaker 6: the bathroom think and she has We call it her
Speaker 6: gluck Gluck. She's got. It's a a bottle that sits
Speaker 6: in a dish and you know, it comes out whenever
Speaker 6: she wants it, so uh, and we have to sell
Speaker 6: that up weekly. So she loves water. I am amazed
Speaker 6: that the cat didn't die from the hydration.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so obviously it's a supernatural thing, right.
Speaker 6: Supernatural they are. They are very powerful. Careful, Casey.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, all right, well, if you're not going
Speaker 1: to run the experiment where the cat go to the restroom,
Speaker 1: that's a good point. I bet that couches, oh man, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: they don't have that in the story. I bet you
Speaker 1: they probably had to burden that couch and it probably
Speaker 1: went right up in flames. A lot of ammonia, A
Speaker 1: lot of ammonia you're dealing with there, So you're right,
Speaker 1: all right, all right, sorry, thank you, Cats, not Satan.
Speaker 6: I am definitely on cat.
Speaker 4: Eventually.
Speaker 1: I'm just saying, when that cat and it sacrifices you
Speaker 1: to Mologne, yeah, all right, all right, Donna, good luck
Speaker 1: with that. I hope it doesn't end horribly so that
Speaker 1: Donna's going to roll the dice. There's no other explanation. Obviously. Look,
Speaker 1: when you signed that deal with Satan, when you sell
Speaker 1: your soul, which for a cat, pretty standard issue. This
Speaker 1: is how it pans out, all right, eight eight eight
Speaker 1: nine three four seven eight seven four. So yesterday a
Speaker 1: bill in the US Senate speaking of Satanic stuff. A
Speaker 1: bill in the US Senate failed after received absolutely zero votes. Specifically,
Speaker 1: this was the cloture vote, which would have allowed it
Speaker 1: to be voted on in a need at sixty. You
Speaker 1: didn't get it where not a single Democrat senator would
Speaker 1: sign on to a bill barring men biological men from
Speaker 1: participating in women's sports. They're all in on it. None
Speaker 1: of them would vote against it. So the cloture vote
Speaker 1: and eventually they didn't get to the bill vote. It
Speaker 1: all failed yesterday. And what's crazy is this is on
Speaker 1: the same day that video emerged of a high school
Speaker 1: basketball game where a team that had a male, a
Speaker 1: biological male basketball player on a women's JV team eventually
Speaker 1: had to forfeit because, and there's video of this, their
Speaker 1: player when he's getting rebounds, was so physically aggressive that
Speaker 1: he injured so many of the other team's players. They
Speaker 1: had to suspend the game and one of these girls
Speaker 1: had to go to the hospital who they were playing against.
Speaker 1: It's just looney tune stuff. And we had a vote
Speaker 1: over that. So there's a lot of satany going on.
Speaker 1: Whether it's the cats or whatever this is, We'll be back. Wow,
Speaker 1: Like dude, the stories people are sending me. So people
Speaker 1: lost cats in their own home for like weeks at
Speaker 1: a time, and that's a regular thing. But we had
Speaker 1: a cat growing up. We had an indoor cat. I
Speaker 1: don't remember what the cat's name was. They just called
Speaker 1: my mom just called a mama cat. And it was
Speaker 1: like a It was like a miniature Siamese. So of
Speaker 1: course its eyes are all screwed up, right. The cat
Speaker 1: was very docile, I will say that. And I try
Speaker 1: to remember what I called her mama cat. I think
Speaker 1: she had kittens when I was really really young. I
Speaker 1: don't remember it, but I remember that cat most of
Speaker 1: my childhood. I don't remember the cat ever disappearing for
Speaker 1: a couple of ross. If any of your cats just
Speaker 1: disappeared in the house for extended periods of time, we
Speaker 1: didn't know where they were.
Speaker 4: Find him though.
Speaker 1: Yeah, So not's a comfortable enough amount where you're just like, ah,
Speaker 1: I got out.
Speaker 4: It tends to be like in the back of a
Speaker 4: clauset or something.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but they're there and you just kind of know
Speaker 1: they're there. But apparently a lot of our listeners have
Speaker 1: had cats that like they thought the cat was gone.
Speaker 1: So wait, hold on, this is this one. Email is amazing.
Speaker 1: All right, Mike said, my daughter's cat went missing years ago.
Speaker 1: We thought the cat was gone. We didn't see it
Speaker 1: for two weeks. We got her another cat, and then
Speaker 1: the cat emerge and it didn't like the daughter's new cat,
Speaker 1: but eventually they got along. So like, how does that happen?
Speaker 1: You don't see food or water disappearing and that's on
Speaker 1: the and by the way, that's on your old cat.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you're the old cat got mad that
Speaker 1: you got a new cat. But the old cat prompted
Speaker 1: the situation. Oh wait, then Boston Paul would have Boston
Speaker 1: Paul write. Boston Paul wrote, I have a glug look too.
Speaker 1: You know what, I'm sure you do, buddy, referring to
Speaker 1: our caller Donna, who was referring to her cats like
Speaker 1: water feeder is yours water? Boston Paul, I don't think
Speaker 1: yours is water, but you do probably call it that.
Speaker 1: So all right, everyone's got Satan cats. Oh then somebody's
Speaker 1: mad at me over the cat's story. Well you didn't
Speaker 1: listen to the story.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: The cats survived somehow, because again, when you're imbued with
Speaker 1: the power of Satan, you're able to overcome these things.
Speaker 1: So anyway, all right, we'll get calls on that if
Speaker 1: you want eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. We got some other stuff to get to though,
Speaker 1: can't just talk about satan cats. One of those things
Speaker 1: is Tariff's baby, which here we go.
Speaker 7: Tariff, is there any room left for Canada and Mexico
Speaker 7: to make a deal before midnight?
Speaker 1: Why is that so great? Here we go, it's very quiet.
Speaker 1: The reporters think, I'll tell you what she is. So
Speaker 1: she's saying, were you in Mexico and Canada able to
Speaker 1: make a deal on fentanyl enforcement some of the other
Speaker 1: stuff that was threatened surrounding the tariffs?
Speaker 7: Okay, is there any room left for Canada and Mexico
Speaker 7: to make a deal before midnight? And should we expect
Speaker 7: those Chinese tariffs the extra ten percent?
Speaker 8: No room left for Mexico or for Canada. No, the tariffs,
Speaker 8: you know, they're all set. They go into effect tomorrow.
Speaker 1: And that was follow up on my colleague's question.
Speaker 8: And just so you understand, vast amounts of fent and
Speaker 8: oil have poured into our country from from Mexico and
Speaker 8: as you know, also from China where it goes to
Speaker 8: Mexico and goes to Canada. And China also had an
Speaker 8: additional ten so it's ten plus ten and it comes
Speaker 8: in from Canada and it comes in from Mexico.
Speaker 5: And that's a very important thing to say, all right.
Speaker 1: So, and it's funny because I see people who've clearly
Speaker 1: never done any research or have any understanding about how
Speaker 1: deep do I want to get into this? Do you
Speaker 1: guys know? Do you guys know what happened with Qing
Speaker 1: dynasty and the opium wars? Are you for ross?
Speaker 4: Do you know this wory?
Speaker 1: Do you want to do you know China's history under
Speaker 1: the Qing dynasty with opium wars during the eighteen hundreds?
Speaker 1: Is that because it's a little specialized, all right? So
Speaker 1: he's screening cold. Let me let me explain this to you.
Speaker 1: So and and it's really fascinating. You should look it up.
Speaker 1: So going back to so this is following the founding
Speaker 1: of the United States, but this is more of a
Speaker 1: British thing, all right. The US was really hands off
Speaker 1: on this, so.
Speaker 4: I kind of know something about it where they sort
Speaker 4: of like flooded the market there just to keep the
Speaker 4: people docile.
Speaker 1: Okay, well, but it was more than that, all right,
Speaker 1: So let me this is fun This is why you
Speaker 1: come to the show. So let's just let me get
Speaker 1: into this because I have an immense amount of useless
Speaker 1: knowledge banging around in my head. But I because I
Speaker 1: love history and not again, not all history is great.
Speaker 1: There are a lot of people who assume that opium,
Speaker 1: as it's associated with the Chinese, is a Chinese thing. Right,
Speaker 1: So you think of the visions like in the Old
Speaker 1: West or out in California, or during the railroad construction
Speaker 1: where you have these opium dens where you have like
Speaker 1: cowboys that would go in there and then they would
Speaker 1: find themselves. And there are a lot of very famous
Speaker 1: Western figures that dealt with opium addiction, including one of
Speaker 1: the Er Brothers, including wild Bill. Right, that was the thing.
Speaker 1: You see it, you see it as part of Western movies.
Speaker 1: But it wasn't like the Chinese came up with the opium.
Speaker 1: So here's what happened. So back in the eighteen hundreds
Speaker 1: when China under the Qing dynasty, Ching Ching or Chang.
Speaker 1: You'll have to correct me again. I have a lot
Speaker 1: of useless knowledge sometimes that's lacking specificity, but whatever the
Speaker 1: dynasty was, So you had this emperor of China who
Speaker 1: had opened a single port for trading. Prior to that,
Speaker 1: they were completely closed off, and so they opened cheg
Speaker 1: I think it was Chengdu was the only port where
Speaker 1: Western traders merchants could come in and trade. And the
Speaker 1: emperor at the time decided that the only thing that
Speaker 1: Western merchants could trade into China was silver, which and
Speaker 1: this was a big deal because at the time they
Speaker 1: were still extracting silver from Southern America and you know,
Speaker 1: basically conquistador stuff that was out there, and that didn't
Speaker 1: sit well with the merchants and because they were buying
Speaker 1: at the time, the UK was buying like eighty percent
Speaker 1: of the tea from China. But they didn't want to
Speaker 1: have to spend silver. So they sent a lord something
Speaker 1: or other right on a trade mission to China. And
Speaker 1: so this guy shows up in China. He makes it
Speaker 1: to Beijing with a letter literally the that is encased
Speaker 1: in a solid gold diamond box, right, because they have
Speaker 1: a whole series of gifts, and they show up to Beijing.
Speaker 1: The Emperor's not even there. He's north of the wall.
Speaker 1: He's in Mongolia modern day Mongolia, at a summer palace.
Speaker 1: So this trade mission sits there for like six months
Speaker 1: waiting for this, dude. It's an immense sign of disrespect.
Speaker 1: But you have to understand the mentality of the Chinese Emperor.
Speaker 1: China at that point, because they had all the stuff
Speaker 1: the world wants, was largely consider the most powerful leadership
Speaker 1: in the world, even more than the King of England.
Speaker 1: So the king sends these the you know lord whatever
Speaker 1: and and this trade mission to China. And what he
Speaker 1: has is a letter from the king and this gold
Speaker 1: this jewel encrusted gold box, and it basically says, hey,
Speaker 1: we want to be your big, you know, your big
Speaker 1: bad trading partner, but we're gonna need a few things.
Speaker 1: And one of the things they want is they want
Speaker 1: their own trade port, which eventually is the island which
Speaker 1: houses Hong Kong, right, which is why the British had it,
Speaker 1: And I'll get to it and access to the ports
Speaker 1: of Shanghai and like four others to be able to trade.
Speaker 1: And they want to know what it is China wants
Speaker 1: so they don't have to spend silver to get this tea.
Speaker 1: And the thing is China doesn't want anything. There's really
Speaker 1: nothing that the British have at that point other than
Speaker 1: the silver that the Chinese want. So the king who's
Speaker 1: now irate over this because it was very disrespectful. Basically,
Speaker 1: the Chinese emperor wrote this letter that says, you don't
Speaker 1: have anything that we want. Hush now, you can come
Speaker 1: to the one port, but don't screw around, and it's
Speaker 1: really really disrespected. It irritates the English immensely. So they
Speaker 1: concoct a plan and they side that one of the
Speaker 1: things that the British now has access to, and the
Speaker 1: East Indian Trading Company, which is the only authorized company
Speaker 1: at the time for the tea trade, has access to,
Speaker 1: is opium, and so they concoct a plan to essentially
Speaker 1: illegally trade opium into China. Well, guess what, it's a
Speaker 1: big hit. Everyone loves the opium there in China, and
Speaker 1: it so quickly becomes a big hit. It catches the
Speaker 1: Chinese emperor off guard. And remember this emperor, the reason
Speaker 1: he was so disrespectful is he is he views himself
Speaker 1: as emperor of everything. Right, England doesn't exist, the English
Speaker 1: Empire doesn't exist, America doesn't exist. To this Chinese emperor,
Speaker 1: his power is so finite, and so everywhere that he
Speaker 1: considers himself the emperor of the world. It's that level
Speaker 1: of attitude that you're dealing with. Well, the opium takes
Speaker 1: hold and it's called the Great Opium War, and it
Speaker 1: basically addicts millions within China, and as a result, merchants
Speaker 1: are willing to illegally trade, which was an executable offense
Speaker 1: in China. And at the time, there's even a Chinese
Speaker 1: merchant who became the richest person who probably exists in
Speaker 1: the world, and in fact, his palace and gardens this
Speaker 1: is not the emperor, this is just a merchant still
Speaker 1: remain to this day. They're the size of like the
Speaker 1: campus of unc and it's just the dude's house, and
Speaker 1: it's moated and it's got these hanging gardens. It's the
Speaker 1: whole thing. It devastated that guy's income because he was
Speaker 1: attached to the silver trade. Within a generation, that's how
Speaker 1: effective the opium wars were. And eventually it's so destroyed
Speaker 1: the China's economy that eventually the Emperor had to write
Speaker 1: a letter agreeing to terms that included opening all the
Speaker 1: ports to the British, turning over what came to be
Speaker 1: Hong Kong in perpetuity. The British didn't have to give
Speaker 1: it back. They gave it back, much like Carter gave
Speaker 1: the canal back, and it absolutely within a generation decimated
Speaker 1: the Chinese and they've never forgotten about that. That is
Speaker 1: something that within Chinese history sticks to this day. So
Speaker 1: the utilization of things like fentanyl to destabilize to a
Speaker 1: soft destabilization of enemies is very much strategic and it's
Speaker 1: important that. This is why I tell people you need
Speaker 1: to understand this stuff. You need to do your research,
Speaker 1: whether it is Ukraine, Russia, whether it is China and
Speaker 1: their attitudes about this stuff, because there's a lot more
Speaker 1: things going on there. And I would encourage you if
Speaker 1: you've never watched a documentary on this, because I'm sure
Speaker 1: I've left parts of it out to fully understand the
Speaker 1: motivation why China would think flooding markets with fetanol is
Speaker 1: more than just a business proposition. It's personal and and
Speaker 1: by the way, what the British were able to do
Speaker 1: with China was devastating, absolutely devastating. And so then the
Speaker 1: idea that you had Chinese immigrants that came to the
Speaker 1: US and would have opium dens uh. It's not like
Speaker 1: the Chinese.
Speaker 4: Thought of that.
Speaker 1: These are just folks who largely had to flee because
Speaker 1: of the turmoil that was created, and then we're back
Speaker 1: servicing with a product that they didn't think of, but
Speaker 1: rather the British introduced within their society. Look it up,
Speaker 1: learn some stuff. Go ahead, we're gonna learn some weather
Speaker 1: right now with Ray Stagic from the Weather Channel. He
Speaker 1: looks some stuff up because he's got a doppler and
Speaker 1: here's what he found.
Speaker 9: Yeah, yeah, might have to use the doppler tomorrow as
Speaker 9: some we've got, yeah, a line of storms coming in
Speaker 9: and some of those storms are potentially strong, maybe severe,
Speaker 9: with some wind and maybe hailing there. So Storm Prediction
Speaker 9: Center's got a slight risk and now they've even put
Speaker 9: in an enhanced risk that's basically for eastern parts of
Speaker 9: the state, so it doesn't cover the triad Triad slight
Speaker 9: risk triangle points east out towards the outer banks.
Speaker 5: Tomorrow enhanced risks, so it's a little bit higher.
Speaker 9: So now we're going to see a little bit more
Speaker 9: in the way of stronger storms and probably our first
Speaker 9: real legitimate shot at severe weather here now that we've
Speaker 9: gotten into March.
Speaker 5: I know we're only day four, but here we go.
Speaker 9: Clouds are already starting to increase mid upper eighties. Today,
Speaker 9: it get a little bit breezy, but still pretty dry.
Speaker 9: The Weather Service still holding with the statement about the
Speaker 9: increased fire weather risk today, and then it's tomorrow we'll
Speaker 9: start to see the showers come in. It looks like
Speaker 9: around midday from west to east, basically late morning to
Speaker 9: the west, and then midday early afternoon until about two
Speaker 9: or three o'clock we'll see that line come through. So
Speaker 9: there could be some wind and hail and yes, even
Speaker 9: a chance of maybe some tornadoes emb better within that line.
Speaker 9: So Tomorrow is going to be our active weather day.
Speaker 9: Temperatures met up or sixties with a gusty breeze. Things
Speaker 9: should settle down tomorrow night and we'll be left with
Speaker 9: sunshine for the rest of the week.
Speaker 5: So casey again.
Speaker 9: Today, good Thursday, Friday, real good. Dry weather's going to return.
Speaker 9: Cool night's coming back along with slightly cooler days. Tomorrow's
Speaker 9: the day though, I think from let's just say the
Speaker 9: morning till about three o'clock in the afternoon, as these
Speaker 9: storms come in from the west. Looks like a thin line,
Speaker 9: so move through pretty quickly at least the worst of it.
Speaker 9: But there is that chance a pretty good chance of
Speaker 9: severe weather for some Yeah.
Speaker 1: No, you can't have severe weather on the same week
Speaker 1: that you have the worst time adjustment of the year.
Speaker 5: That's right, that's coming to this weekend.
Speaker 1: Yeah already, man, No, I don't accept it.
Speaker 5: Back to work.
Speaker 1: We're talking an hour, okay, all right, all right, there
Speaker 1: you go, race stagic working on some stuff. Hang on,
Speaker 1: we'll be back, all right. So what do you know
Speaker 1: about Armenia? What do you guys know about Armenia Other
Speaker 1: than the it is the country that has the largest
Speaker 1: percentage of what's the word I'm looking for? Others are
Speaker 1: where I never remember the damn word for this where
Speaker 1: basically the citizens of the country left and so now
Speaker 1: there is a higher population outside of the country of
Speaker 1: ethnically primarily Armenian people than there is in the country.
Speaker 1: By the way, I've actually this is crazy. I've been
Speaker 1: to Armenia. I've been to the capital of Armenia, which
Speaker 1: is Jevrin, because I did this thing for a lot
Speaker 1: of years where I wanted to travel places most people
Speaker 1: don't travel, and it's a very fascinating country. It's one
Speaker 1: of the oldest Christian nations in the world. The they
Speaker 1: have Lake Severn, which is this big lake there that
Speaker 1: has all these old monasteries around it. So if you
Speaker 1: think of like old European style monasteries, very ornate places,
Speaker 1: they are littered with them there and it's it's really fascinating.
Speaker 1: But as one of the oldest Christian nations, except most
Speaker 1: of the people within are people who are Armenian. They
Speaker 1: can't leave their country because via roadways, because they're surrounded
Speaker 1: by a bunch of countries that hate them.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 1: So this is who borders them, Azerbaijan, right, which is
Speaker 1: primarily Muslim nation, Turkey primarily Muslim nation. They don't like them.
Speaker 1: I ran to the south and then their northern border
Speaker 1: is Georgia, and not Atlanta, Georgia, but Georgia the country
Speaker 1: phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: So I was getting into the history of the Armenian
Speaker 1: genocide because you know, that's what we do in the morning.
Speaker 1: But I promise it has a very new and real
Speaker 1: world things. So I was talking about Armenia, the dyspora
Speaker 1: of the Armenian people. There are more Armenians that live
Speaker 1: outside of Armenia than in it. It's one of the
Speaker 1: unique features of the country, which obviously speaks to really
Speaker 1: the horror that was the genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Empire,
Speaker 1: which is Turkey now starting in what like nineteen fifteen
Speaker 1: or something like that. Again, I know way too much
Speaker 1: random stuff, but here's the thing you need to know.
Speaker 1: If your Armenian or your heritage Armenian, you're not a
Speaker 1: fan of Turkey and Turkey it is a political football
Speaker 1: to even use the term Armenian genocide. They've never acknowledged it,
Speaker 1: even though it's pretty clear that between about seven hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty thousand and a million and a half our
Speaker 1: Armenians were killed, okay, which is which is higher than
Speaker 1: the population of Armenians that are even part of of
Speaker 1: the And I mispronounced the word. I always screw this
Speaker 1: word up. But diaspora, the diaspora, which is essentially the
Speaker 1: population of people that live outside of a country, Okay,
Speaker 1: And it's it's one of the very unique things. So
Speaker 1: they're very sensitive about it, is the point that I'm making,
Speaker 1: So pass forward to this. The LA Kings, the hockey team,
Speaker 1: decided to have an Armenian knight. Why because the city
Speaker 1: of Los Angeles has the highest population of Armenians, not
Speaker 1: in Armenia than anywhere in the world. Half a million
Speaker 1: Armenians live in Los Angeles, just in Los Angeles. It's
Speaker 1: much higher when you take in the whole US. So
Speaker 1: with that in mind, they decided that they were gonna
Speaker 1: have some merch. Right, if you have a theme night
Speaker 1: at a sporting event, you got to have like the
Speaker 1: big foam finger, you gotta have the bobble head, you
Speaker 1: gotta have you know, whatever it is. So they decided
Speaker 1: that they were going to go ahead and they were
Speaker 1: going to give away a like scarf flag thing. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's got red, blue and yellow, which are the colors
Speaker 1: of the Armenian flag. And if you show up to
Speaker 1: the game, it's got the team logo on it. You're
Speaker 1: gonna get one of these collector items. So how could
Speaker 1: this thing have gone horribly Well, here's why the apology
Speaker 1: is happening. Yes, the team released a statement Saturday. I
Speaker 1: didn't see this right away apologizing for the giveaway because
Speaker 1: the scarves, which are in the color of the Armenian
Speaker 1: flag and bear the La Kings.
Speaker 4: Who were they playing.
Speaker 1: I think they were playing the the Salt Lake team.
Speaker 1: Now the Salt Lake city's got a team. If you
Speaker 1: don't know, all right, here we go, and they were
Speaker 1: selling this thing in the team store. They have apologized
Speaker 1: and are now offering the ability of anyone who was
Speaker 1: at the game or who had purchased this thing on
Speaker 1: the team store to bring it back or to ask
Speaker 1: for a prepaid shipping label then send it in because
Speaker 1: whoever put the promotion together had the scarves manufactured in Turkey,
Speaker 1: the genociders, right, it would be like, hey, it's it's
Speaker 1: it's it's Polish Jewish Recognition night. Here's your swag manufactured
Speaker 1: by a BMW or Volkswagen or something like. It's not
Speaker 1: a good look. And as you can imagine, people were
Speaker 1: immediately outright apparently they were outraged. At the hockey match,
Speaker 1: somebody looked down and right on the tag where it says, hey,
Speaker 1: you know made in it didn't say USA, didn't say Taiwan,
Speaker 1: didn't say China, it said Turkey. So yeah, this is
Speaker 1: the statement. We, the La Kings and our partners at
Speaker 1: Rank and Rally, which I guess was the event, want
Speaker 1: to apologize to all our friends in the Armenian community
Speaker 1: and beyond for the oversight. YadA, YadA, and then here's
Speaker 1: how you send this thing in what does this say?
Speaker 1: We source stock and sell merchandise from a select list
Speaker 1: of manufacturers that are officially licensed and people quote the
Speaker 1: project managers were unaware of the item's production origin. Yeah,
Speaker 1: you probably were, but you probably were because you didn't check.
Speaker 1: So how you screw that thing up that badly is
Speaker 1: actually pretty impressive. I'll give you credit. I'll give you
Speaker 1: credit for that right there. So they say there, now
Speaker 1: do they mean too? Obviously not. But again, when you're
Speaker 1: when you're gonna do something like that, you're gonna have
Speaker 1: all these specialty nights, you got to have somebody who
Speaker 1: has I don't know, just a kernel, just a kernel
Speaker 1: of institutional or historical knowledge, I guess would be the
Speaker 1: way to put that. All right, eight twelve here on
Speaker 1: the CaCO Day radio program, Ross, is that the new
Speaker 1: protest song right there on the button bar? Is that
Speaker 1: the one I just sent you? Okay, all right, dude,
Speaker 1: I just read I just read a term that I hate.
Speaker 1: That is a thing. So you, as you know, can
Speaker 1: you can you put the other protest song up?
Speaker 4: Songs up?
Speaker 1: I know we got a couple to choose from. H
Speaker 1: I'll get to that. All right, people are sending me
Speaker 1: a story. I've already gotten the stack. Don't worry about it. Okay,
Speaker 1: we got it, We got it.
Speaker 4: We got it.
Speaker 1: So as you know, as we have a torture, do
Speaker 1: we you with on the show, even at times when digestively,
Speaker 1: I've been unable to do the show, So Ross torches you,
Speaker 1: tortures you.
Speaker 5: Uh.
Speaker 1: There have been a whole lot of protest songs recently,
Speaker 1: and they're not real good. They're not real good at all.
Speaker 1: The singing's off key, the word changes are wildly unnecessary.
Speaker 1: And as a result, we've played him here on the show.
Speaker 1: Some of you have felt that we've been torturing you,
Speaker 1: and that's that's obviously that's not been what I have
Speaker 1: been attempting to do. But it's important you understand the
Speaker 1: news that's going on, right, so we get stuff like this.
Speaker 10: They keep on moving fullward, keep on mold far, looking forward,
Speaker 10: keep on moving f never turning by. I want to
Speaker 10: do that, never turning back.
Speaker 1: I don't want to look back.
Speaker 4: They might get you. Trump is not He's not. It's
Speaker 4: a different thing Trump.
Speaker 1: In fact, our first president expressly rejected.
Speaker 4: The title It's a history listen upon a history, lesson
Speaker 4: upon a history turning by right, you know what?
Speaker 1: Virture your eyes from the king turning?
Speaker 4: The president can't stop.
Speaker 6: The fascist, but he's not republic.
Speaker 4: All right.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we tortured you with that, and we tortured
Speaker 1: you with this.
Speaker 6: Which side are you on?
Speaker 4: I'm on the side of that, not the king.
Speaker 1: Are you all present? Which side are you on? Which
Speaker 1: side are you on?
Speaker 4: We're a fighter.
Speaker 6: Against jog.
Speaker 1: Rhythm, then are wells will fight from down to dusk?
Speaker 1: Are we inside?
Speaker 4: Are you on?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 1: So you got all this stuff going for you. So
Speaker 1: with that in with that in mind, this article right
Speaker 1: here laid off workers excuse me, I'm sitting there starting
Speaker 1: to do that. Hold on, I need a drink. All right,
Speaker 1: Here we go laid off workers from the National Oceanic
Speaker 1: and Atmosphere Administration, right because this is the big freak
Speaker 1: out this week. They're firing all the uh the meteorologists, right,
Speaker 1: and then the storms are gonna get us. And hold on,
Speaker 1: if you keep this up, I'm not gonna hold on.
Speaker 1: You don't even know the new story, sir. Hang on.
Speaker 1: The National Oceanic and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration decided
Speaker 1: yesterday to gather to protest what's going on. As Doege
Speaker 1: made some tri I think there was like two buildings
Speaker 1: that they said that they're gonna go ahead and offload
Speaker 1: because they're not using them or they're not fully using them,
Speaker 1: and of course that requires people to stand in protests. Well,
Speaker 1: now they have released and this is a term I've
Speaker 1: never heard of, a brand new and this is this
Speaker 1: is one of the activist groups, the brand new rapid
Speaker 1: Response Choir. I'm gonna say those words again. So the
Speaker 1: Moonbats now have a rapid Response choir. So not just
Speaker 1: rapid response protesters, which is a hallmark of Washington. And
Speaker 1: as I pointed out when I was doing Radio Row
Speaker 1: up there, they sent like these cats to us, right,
Speaker 1: the rapid response protesters, and they stood out in front
Speaker 1: of the Phoenix Park Hotel where we do the radio
Speaker 1: row every year, or though we haven't done it this
Speaker 1: year because the organizers not with the company anymore, the
Speaker 1: group that put it on anymore, so I didn't get
Speaker 1: to see him this year, But every year they had
Speaker 1: like six or seven you know young you know, like
Speaker 1: twenty early twenty something protesters that are just like I
Speaker 1: don't say they're rent of protesters, but they basically are.
Speaker 1: They're just rapid response protesters that can show up and
Speaker 1: hold it. They're not passionate about anything, they're not inspired,
Speaker 1: they're not inspired by, you know, any particular individual item.
Speaker 1: They're just at the ready. So the idea that they've
Speaker 1: now elevated this to a rapid response choir is friggin hilarious.
Speaker 1: But I will say they're much better than their non
Speaker 1: rapid response choir counterparts, which I was not expecting. So yesterday,
Speaker 1: the rapid response choir, which we'll be ready for all
Speaker 1: the different protests over all the different doge cuts, probably
Speaker 1: in perpetuity, showed up to sing their little protest song.
Speaker 1: And you know what they've been practicing. Yeah, I mean
Speaker 1: they're a lunatic that's not half bad.
Speaker 4: Far better than this.
Speaker 6: Which side are you right?
Speaker 1: Where are you on? Which side are you on?
Speaker 7: This?
Speaker 1: They this is the first one, the other one I
Speaker 1: just played is the second, and this is now the third.
Speaker 1: Like they've they've definitely refined I'm moving, I'm movie, I'm moving,
Speaker 1: I'm moving, I hate I'm walking. Here to quote, it's
Speaker 1: a pretty famous actor, which by the way, that wasn't
Speaker 1: even in the script. All right, I have to turn
Speaker 1: you off because people are going to torch the station.
Speaker 1: So yeah, now we have the Rapid Response choir and
Speaker 1: they were singing. By the way, if you don't know,
Speaker 1: this song is called stormy Weather. See it's very thematically perfect. Yeah, right,
Speaker 1: like that's remarkably better Ross. You just had to dub
Speaker 1: this in. Isn't that a lot better singing than the
Speaker 1: previous protest songs like more.
Speaker 4: On key more. Yeah. I think the reason is because
Speaker 4: they're an actual choir.
Speaker 1: Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, the rapid response choir. Like I
Speaker 1: appreciate the effort here, Like it's the whole story and
Speaker 1: the reasoning and the fakeness of all of it is
Speaker 1: very off putting. Right, these are not people with this
Speaker 1: is been their individual issue for so long. It's just
Speaker 1: that they're all they all wet dream the sixties, if
Speaker 1: I could just use that term, right, they all think
Speaker 1: that they're still they're still in the sixties because that
Speaker 1: was the good times, that was the flower power. That's
Speaker 1: where you could eat the acid, not the blue pills.
Speaker 1: Don't take the blue pills, Wavy Gravy says, so, but
Speaker 1: you know, take the other ones, and then you could
Speaker 1: sit there and you lock arms together, you could sway
Speaker 1: back and forth while your girlfriend, who doesn't use razors
Speaker 1: for anything, is basically exposing herself. And you know, you
Speaker 1: could feel like you're changing the world, but in reality,
Speaker 1: we're not. We're not there anymore. And the stuff that
Speaker 1: you're fighting for is manufactured and it's not real, and
Speaker 1: people recognize that. And so you got to put your
Speaker 1: best foot forward. So what do you do. You go
Speaker 1: ahead and you get your rapid response choir so that
Speaker 1: you can sing whatever krusty protest song you actually need.
Speaker 4: But that's that's what it is.
Speaker 1: Kudos to the organization for all of it, because if
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get tortured with your insanity, with your fakeness,
Speaker 1: it's a good choir. They're not crazy, they're just getting paid. Yes,
Speaker 1: that's the That's what I'm pointing out. Like, they can
Speaker 1: actually sing, and I'm impressed, even if they're misguided. Have
Speaker 1: you heard that at your church doing their thing right?
Speaker 1: You'd be like, all right, I'm feeling the spirit.
Speaker 4: Right, not singing this, But.
Speaker 1: Tell me about that little light of yours. What's it
Speaker 1: gonna do? What's that little like it's gonna shine.
Speaker 4: That's good news.
Speaker 5: Thank you. Rapid response choir.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean I mean good for them. There is
Speaker 4: a market and they filled that hole. Right.
Speaker 1: Yes, this is I could just come on here and
Speaker 1: be a jerk about it, but I'm actually impressed with
Speaker 1: this version of you.
Speaker 4: You know, they're sitting back and they heard the other
Speaker 4: protest songs and they're like, dude, Yeah, they're like, what
Speaker 4: do we do about you?
Speaker 1: Given choir is a bad name, given singers a bad name.
Speaker 1: So again, kudos to you. I'd like to lay it
Speaker 1: over some other music. Let me try this. Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: rapid response bire. Oh they just turned heel ross. Oh,
Speaker 1: the whole choir just turned heel.
Speaker 4: Do you think he's gonna be wearing jeans? Now?
Speaker 1: Do you think you'd go from George to jeans? I
Speaker 1: think he's got to go to board shorts. Man, I
Speaker 1: think you got to stick with what you know, kind
Speaker 1: of that window of things.
Speaker 4: Yeah, some people are saying black shorts.
Speaker 1: He's but he's wearing basically black jorts in the Actually
Speaker 1: when he turned heel, I guess they're gray. But yeah, man,
Speaker 1: I want to hear a rapid response. John Cena choir.
Speaker 1: You know you wanted to. You know it'd be amazing.
Speaker 5: We'll be back.
Speaker 1: So the Daily Show jacked our whole bit from yesterday.
Speaker 1: Is this what you're telling me? Ross is just has
Speaker 1: just informed me of some other thiefs. So yesterday brilliantly,
Speaker 1: if you heard the opening of the show, and since
Speaker 1: we were on the air at least.
Speaker 4: In the morning in both markets, jeez man.
Speaker 1: Maybe you did yesterday. Did I think a very brilliant
Speaker 1: job of laying out what happened Friday in the Oval
Speaker 1: office by using the analogy of the Zelenski meeting along
Speaker 1: with the decision by John Cena to take it to
Speaker 1: no longer be a face, be the good guy, Be
Speaker 1: the sixth time world or sixteen time World champion, Be
Speaker 1: the guy who holds the record for the most Wake
Speaker 1: make a Wish cancer kid visits, right, the People's champion
Speaker 1: to turn heel in a minute at the behest of
Speaker 1: the rock by kicking Cody Rhoades right in the junk
Speaker 1: and then beating his face in with fake gold rolexes.
Speaker 4: Right, we.
Speaker 1: Combine those two to I think do a very brilliant
Speaker 1: job of explaining it using the John Cena incident as
Speaker 1: an analogy.
Speaker 4: Now only did we come up with the idea, but
Speaker 4: it took what two seconds of planning? Yes, I sent
Speaker 4: you the.
Speaker 1: Text set a text back, and we didn't even coordinate
Speaker 1: the bit because I wanted it to sound natural.
Speaker 7: No.
Speaker 4: Yeah, I sent you the story on what Saturday or Sunday?
Speaker 4: And I said, well, the first hour of the show
Speaker 4: is done right, We're going to be fine. We no
Speaker 4: pre show meeting about it. I was nothing. I understand completely.
Speaker 4: We're going to start up the show. We did not
Speaker 4: discuss it.
Speaker 1: No, I just said, hey, times changed over the weekend,
Speaker 1: a guy was in a stitch. I don't remember how
Speaker 1: I put it, it was so off the cuff.
Speaker 4: But driving into work that day, I said, the beginning
Speaker 4: of the show is gonna be we're gonna start talking
Speaker 4: about something. It's gonna sound like we're talking about Zelenz's Landstrom.
Speaker 4: We're gonna actually switch it up on the audience and
Speaker 4: we're gonna be talking about John Cena. Right, We're gonna be.
Speaker 1: Like this man who literally was unmatched and turned in
Speaker 1: front of everybody, and it was so shocking that nobody
Speaker 1: saw it coming. And then god, job, what the hell
Speaker 1: are you doing right, we.
Speaker 4: Just start playing the audio, playing the music. You know,
Speaker 4: we got it? Yeah, Oh my god, job, what the
Speaker 4: hell are you doing?
Speaker 10: The always.
Speaker 4: That was yesterday?
Speaker 1: So what does the Daily Show do? John Stewart opens,
Speaker 1: He does the exact same thing, and he even makes
Speaker 1: a fake Winston Churchill quotes like I did. But but
Speaker 1: Winston Churchill didn't say, if you want to be the man,
Speaker 1: you gotta beat the man. Although it would have worked,
Speaker 1: it would have worked, It would have worked right, because
Speaker 1: they did.
Speaker 4: They would beat the man. You have to beat the man.
Speaker 5: Yes, on the beaches.
Speaker 1: Yes, that's where you beat the band everywhere. And so
Speaker 1: the Daily Show did? You said? So Ross sent me
Speaker 1: what is his eight and a half minutes of what?
Speaker 1: What is what is the half? Our show? Twenty three
Speaker 1: minutes on network on television? Twenty three minutes? Right is
Speaker 1: his actual show? So literally a third of his show
Speaker 1: was just our stolen bit.
Speaker 4: Yeah, but he's brilliant, it says, right there, the brilliant
Speaker 4: Jon Stewart, Yeah, brilliant.
Speaker 1: No, he's wrong, he's one hundred wrong because his analogy
Speaker 1: Cody Rhoades is Zelenski, the rock is Putin, and the
Speaker 1: US is John.
Speaker 4: Cena, limousine riding, jet flying.
Speaker 1: Yeah, as Winston said, styling and profile. Remember how he
Speaker 1: would style in profile?
Speaker 4: He would yeah, he up in the air there.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it was this thing. But he stole our bit.
Speaker 1: He stole our bit. He did a third of his
Speaker 1: show on it. And he's wrong, by the way, he's
Speaker 1: wrong when you get down to the news of it.
Speaker 4: The studio is bugged.
Speaker 1: I it must be. It must be what's interfering with
Speaker 1: the Greensboro broadcast, right, it's it's it's tripping some stuff.
Speaker 1: And then and then we have the inability to get
Speaker 1: our show on the air there and not just because
Speaker 1: of the construction.
Speaker 4: I do have to say, I do enjoy how we
Speaker 4: started the show yesterday and we didn't even like plan that.
Speaker 4: We just get we just knew, just went at that
Speaker 4: first break. And you even said, you're like, we didn't
Speaker 4: even have to plan that.
Speaker 1: Nope, nothing just worked.
Speaker 4: Man.
Speaker 1: It was good. We made people learn what turn heal meant.
Speaker 1: We had grown adults had to look it up so
Speaker 1: that they understood what the hell we were talking about.
Speaker 1: We did them a service. Now they will know because
Speaker 1: you can use that in other parts of your life. Right,
Speaker 1: you got a coworker you thought you got along with,
Speaker 1: and then all of a sudden they tattle to the
Speaker 1: boss about SUNY's turn. Heel bro, you can use that
Speaker 1: in your life. Just for John Stewart, it's so lazy man.
Speaker 1: But then also he uses it to make the point
Speaker 1: that somehow Zelensky wasn't like the whole thing is very simple,
Speaker 1: and it's just and I'm so frustrated because it's such.
Speaker 4: A dangerous game that we're playing.
Speaker 1: Right you have this big conglomerate of people who absolutely
Speaker 1: want the US. They won't admit it, they'll say, oh, no,
Speaker 1: that's not what I mean, but it's the only logical
Speaker 1: way forward. They want the US to sit there and say,
Speaker 1: if you fire another bullet at the Ukrainians, our military
Speaker 1: is going to come in and decimate you, which would
Speaker 1: be blood and treasure, disastrous for the US.
Speaker 4: We'd win.
Speaker 1: I firmly believe that we would win. And yes, Russia
Speaker 1: is in a more decimated position, but they're not going
Speaker 1: to go quietly because there is this inability to recognize
Speaker 1: the situation as it exists right now, is that Ukraine
Speaker 1: is not going to get all their territory back, especially
Speaker 1: when he's factor in CRIMEA. They're not going to get
Speaker 1: it all back unless there is an absolute decimation of
Speaker 1: the Russian military and Russia. So a scenario was thought up,
Speaker 1: and it's a scenario that we have used. And I
Speaker 1: will repeat this for people who didn't listen, who are
Speaker 1: only interested in stealing our bits. The situation currently exists
Speaker 1: that if the US has an incentivized partnership with Russia,
Speaker 1: and I don't mean security guarantees, I mean an incentivized
Speaker 1: position with Russia, meaning we have US workers, we have
Speaker 1: US companies with financial interests in the Donbas and other
Speaker 1: areas of Ukraine. Right. I'm not some idiot who hasn't
Speaker 1: paid attention to this, and I have no love for Russia.
Speaker 1: What Russia came in there and did I understand some
Speaker 1: of the thinking. But I also understand that they waited
Speaker 1: and they found opportunities where they could go ahead and
Speaker 1: do this, where they thought the repercussions would be minimal.
Speaker 1: And so what you do is you stake US financial
Speaker 1: interests in there. It's not just about shaking down the
Speaker 1: Ukraine for minerals. Some of it is about recouping the
Speaker 1: three hundred and fifty billion that we've sent. But it
Speaker 1: creates a scenario where Russia has to sit there and
Speaker 1: go if I fire a missile into this area and
Speaker 1: there are US financial interests there, I am the one
Speaker 1: escalating it.
Speaker 4: And this was known.
Speaker 1: And frankly, that meeting with Amy Klobashar and Chris Murphy
Speaker 1: and our own Tom tillis, by the way, that scoundrel
Speaker 1: where they puff this dude up and they're like, you
Speaker 1: should not you know, I don't know why you'd accept
Speaker 1: this deal with This is Chris Murphy I'm quoting, by
Speaker 1: the way, I don't know why you would accept that
Speaker 1: deal with Trump. He's taken advantage of you literally minutes before.
Speaker 1: This meeting was absolutely disastrous. And by the way, there's
Speaker 1: video of the Ukrainian ambassador who was sitting in the
Speaker 1: audience for this thing, whether her face buried in her
Speaker 1: hand because she realized how dumb this was.
Speaker 4: Them asking for the security guarantees, Like I don't understand
Speaker 4: that because the whole reason, right, like, hey, we want
Speaker 4: to join NATO for security guarantees was like the line
Speaker 4: in the sand for putin.
Speaker 1: That and Finland joining NATO. People don't realize that they
Speaker 1: finished border, especially on the north side. You just think
Speaker 1: of Finland as one you know, Oh, it's one of
Speaker 1: the Norwegian countries. You don't realize that Finland has an
Speaker 1: extensive military. They have a militarized border with Russia because
Speaker 1: Russia so flipped out when they joined NATO and part
Speaker 1: of the agreement with Ukraine and people are forgetting this
Speaker 1: back in the day, give up your nukes, but there
Speaker 1: won't be eastern expansion of NATO which has taken place.
Speaker 1: And the former administration Biden, when asked if he was
Speaker 1: okay with with Ukraine joining NATO, didn't say no. And again,
Speaker 1: it doesn't make Russia right, no, but it just makes
Speaker 1: it the reality of where we are.
Speaker 4: You can under that is the reality of the situation
Speaker 4: right now.
Speaker 5: Correct.
Speaker 4: And Russia sees this as a threat. Well, why does
Speaker 4: Russia see that as a threat? Oh, I don't know.
Speaker 4: Look at the history of Russia.
Speaker 1: Well, also look at what happened when Russia decided to
Speaker 1: put some missiles into Cuba.
Speaker 4: What did we do?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 4: Countries so keep trying to go into Russia, so they
Speaker 4: want to buffer there. They see it as a threat.
Speaker 4: And Putin saw that as a threat and he said
Speaker 4: if you do this, that's going to be the line
Speaker 4: in the sand you cannot cross. Correct.
Speaker 1: Okay, So by this thing that this lifeboat that was
Speaker 1: offered there doesn't make Russia the winner in the sense
Speaker 1: that we think Russia is a good guy. It's just
Speaker 1: the reality. Sometimes you just got to deal with the
Speaker 1: reality of things. How many times has something gone wrong
Speaker 1: in your life that you're never gonna fully recover from?
Speaker 1: You just have to stop the right you put all
Speaker 1: Oh you bought the hawk toy coin. Right, you bought
Speaker 1: the hawk toy coin because you're dumb and you did
Speaker 1: it and you're just you know, because the girl said
Speaker 1: the things that she goes on in your head.
Speaker 4: No, no, no, stop. It was a good meme. It
Speaker 4: was a funny.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Really, are you buying the e coin? You see,
Speaker 1: that's what all the coins. You haven't launched it yet,
Speaker 1: but rosing about that would be like buying the e
Speaker 1: coin to stop the bleeding from the hawk toy purchase. Okay,
Speaker 1: Sometimes you gotta go ask was this was dumb?
Speaker 4: Yeah? I told you my studio is bugged. I was
Speaker 4: gonna call and ask Dave Ramsey about that later today.
Speaker 4: Oh sure, yeah, go ahead, that's my plan. Let me
Speaker 4: know how that let me how that phone call goes.
Speaker 4: I don't want to be predicted, but I think I
Speaker 4: know right, and and so for for for.
Speaker 1: That lifeline to be rejected and then for everyone to
Speaker 1: act like, well, no, this is crazy. What the White
Speaker 1: House has to do is they got to go all
Speaker 1: in on this is all these people who are not
Speaker 1: going to have to go serve even though they can.
Speaker 1: By the way, if you're between the ages of eighteen
Speaker 1: and sixty, you can join the Ukrainian Army. Did you
Speaker 1: know that if you're between eighteen and sixty you can
Speaker 1: sign up. You go five for Ukraine. But that's not
Speaker 1: what you're talking about. You're talking about the people that
Speaker 1: are sitting down at BRAG right now having to go
Speaker 1: over and do it. And I'm sorry I didn't serve
Speaker 1: in the military. But I also don't feel that it's
Speaker 1: a good use of the time for our listeners sitting
Speaker 1: at BRAG or sitting at Seymour Johnson or or you know,
Speaker 1: on one of our marine bases in Le June or
Speaker 1: whatever it is. I don't feel that they need to
Speaker 1: go and decimate the Russian Empire right now. I feel
Speaker 1: that we have other options, and that's one of them
Speaker 1: right here. Or send John Cena. Let him get on it.
Speaker 1: He can run around and kick all the Russians right
Speaker 1: in the right and the Giblets man. See how that goes?
Speaker 6: All right?
Speaker 1: Raced agic with a quick weather because I.
Speaker 5: Went too late there? Oh all right man.
Speaker 1: Unfortunately it's not necessarily.
Speaker 9: All positive, So notes today's the positive day, right, a
Speaker 9: lot of negative tomorrow. Mid upper sixties today starting, clouds
Speaker 9: already starting to come in, but still some leftover sunshine,
Speaker 9: especially the further east. Tomorrow is the transition big front
Speaker 9: which is already producing severe weather blizzard out across the
Speaker 9: upper Plains. That front's rolling east, not the blizzard, and
Speaker 9: we'll have some showers, even some thunderstorms tomorrow. Slight risk
Speaker 9: to an enhanced risk of severe weather tomorrow. It's like
Speaker 9: late morning through early to mid afternoon from west to east.
Speaker 9: So be prepared tomorrow for potentially a watch and then
Speaker 9: potentially some warnings, whether it be severe and or tornado warnings.
Speaker 9: All the risks are on the table, so I have
Speaker 9: to watch that. It'll be quick moving line, but a
Speaker 9: lot of severe storms possible. Nonetheless, gusty wins even outside
Speaker 9: of storms, and then the cooler, drier arrow settle back
Speaker 9: in for the rest of the week.
Speaker 5: And I confess I bought the Trump.
Speaker 1: Coin, not the Trump point Trump did you.
Speaker 5: No, I didn't, but I got the Trump all right.
Speaker 1: Well, and then you get the E coins, so then
Speaker 1: might have to all right, man, thank you appreciate it.
Speaker 1: We'll be right back.
Speaker 4: Oh, good morning, Casey.
Speaker 11: The esclading trade war worries investors. Stocks took a pounding
Speaker 11: yesterday and the futures are lower across the board this morning.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 11: President Trump is proceeding with twenty five percent tariffs on
Speaker 11: goods from Canada and Mexico. The US economy, though, gets
Speaker 11: a couple of votes of confidence. At a business conference
Speaker 11: in Sydney, the CEO of Goldman Sachs said the nation's
Speaker 11: economy should be okay despite the uncertainty about global trade.
Speaker 11: David Solomon sees only a very small chance of the
Speaker 11: economy tipping into recession this year, and Blackstone chief executive
Speaker 11: Steve Schwartzman said his firm polled executives at two hundred
Speaker 11: and fifty companies, none of them expect a recession in
Speaker 11: twenty twenty five. A big drug store chain could be
Speaker 11: taken privates, or to say, Sycamore Partners and Walgreens dotting
Speaker 11: the eyes and crossing the tes on a deal where
Speaker 11: Sycamore would acquire Walgreens for about ten billion dollars. Chipotle
Speaker 11: Mexican Grill was among the relatively few winners on Wall
Speaker 11: Street yesterday. Chipotle said new terror on products from Mexico
Speaker 11: are going to weigh on its bottom line. The chain
Speaker 11: is a major buyer of avocados, but the CEO said
Speaker 11: the company intends to absorb the higher cost and not
Speaker 11: raise the price guacamole. And Casey, there was a second
Speaker 11: close call at City Group last spring. Source to say
Speaker 11: a lot of money was almost transferred to a customer's
Speaker 11: account and error. A City employee who is handling a
Speaker 11: transfer accidentally copied an account number into the field for
Speaker 11: the dollar figure. Had it not been caught, six billion
Speaker 11: dollars would have been transferred. And even bigger error involving
Speaker 11: trillions of dollars came to light last week. Both that
Speaker 11: happened last April.
Speaker 4: Casey, how do I get in on that?
Speaker 6: So?
Speaker 4: What was it? Like? Eighty one trillion? Right?
Speaker 1: The other dude done?
Speaker 4: Yeah, it was it was in the trillions. Yes, that's right.
Speaker 1: I'll take six billion, don't get me wrong, but I'd
Speaker 1: prefer the trillions. So all right, well, hopefully, hopefully we'll
Speaker 1: find out. All right, Jeff, thank you very much for
Speaker 1: all right, have a good day.
Speaker 4: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. By the way, this is insane. I just saw
Speaker 1: this thing. This is absolutely insane, but not surprising. I'm
Speaker 1: and by the way, I'm gonna say the North Carolina
Speaker 1: Teachers Union and then people can you they're not a
Speaker 1: union because they can't collectively shut up. They can show
Speaker 1: up with their little red power fist t shirts. Okay.
Speaker 1: And by the way, the majority of North Carolina teachers
Speaker 1: are not in the Education Association, so fear not, your
Speaker 1: kids teacher is probably not a lunatic. Okay. That's which
Speaker 1: is good. Morale among North Carolina's This is from News
Speaker 1: and Observer. Morale among North Carolina teachers is above the
Speaker 1: national average, but could be higher. Oh really, okay, all right,
Speaker 1: well that's fine. You know everybody, people get down the
Speaker 1: dumps about their jobs, but what do they need? According
Speaker 1: to new polling by Education Week nationally Before I get
Speaker 1: to North Carolina nationally, forty three percent of teachers who
Speaker 1: responded say that their morale would increase if they had
Speaker 1: more DEI in the classroom, and North Carolina was among
Speaker 1: seven states were the majority of teachers pulled, so the
Speaker 1: majority of poll teachers in North Carolina, which again doesn't
Speaker 1: it doesn't actually mean all the teachers. This is why
Speaker 1: this polling is so useless because teachers who actively aren't
Speaker 1: part of this joke union thing are generally not as
Speaker 1: big a moonbats. Okay, some of them might be, but
Speaker 1: a lot of them are. Most of them are. The
Speaker 1: majority of North Carolina teachers say that their morale would
Speaker 1: improve if they could inject more DEI into your kids classroom.
Speaker 1: Linda McMahon couldn't turn You know what, Linda McMahon needs
Speaker 1: to turn heel ross. That's what I'm thinking, right, she
Speaker 1: needs to come out whoever's the head of the union, right,
Speaker 1: they're just they're out there, McMahon's holder, they're holding the
Speaker 1: belt whatever, and then McMahon right to the giblets. That's
Speaker 1: the only way to fix this.
