Speaker 1: To have you long CaCO Day Radio program phone number
Speaker 1: eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1: Sou a little speech or something last night. Huh, little Donald,
Speaker 1: Little Donald Trump getting up there. Not quite State of
Speaker 1: the Union, but I guess it is the longest presidential
Speaker 1: congressional address ever. I believe is that I saw that
Speaker 1: and I wanted to make sure that that was that. Well,
Speaker 1: he went on a while, and poor Ross has been
Speaker 1: dubbing audio all morning. So but yeah, that's how that works.
Speaker 1: So boy, oh boy, where do I even start on this?
Speaker 1: I have a question how this This is the thing
Speaker 1: that I understand that we kind of have a process
Speaker 1: for when the president speaking, whoever the president is all right,
Speaker 1: go back to Obama or Bush or Clinton. It does matter.
Speaker 1: And there has been ups and downs in decorum, but
Speaker 1: for the most part, during most years, you have a
Speaker 1: situation where there's applause lines for everybody, you know, things mutually,
Speaker 1: where both sides of the aisle are like, hey, you know,
Speaker 1: America's pretty awesome. Then you know everyone everyone applauds. Usually again,
Speaker 1: these are these are nostalgic, some of these thoughts. And
Speaker 1: then something that might be a key partisan issue for
Speaker 1: that president and their side of Congress. They'll be like, hey,
Speaker 1: we want to do this thing. And then so you know,
Speaker 1: half the gallery applauds, the other half doesn't. And then
Speaker 1: that's the show, right, Oh, we're not looking at we're
Speaker 1: not applauding for this. And then there's something else on
Speaker 1: the flip side, and like that's been the way that
Speaker 1: it's been. And yes, you know people will sit there
Speaker 1: and tell you, oh, well, this it all broke down.
Speaker 1: When was it? Joe Wilson yelled, you lie at Barack Obama.
Speaker 1: But really that was that's really tame compared to stuff
Speaker 1: that had happened going back in the day. Remember they
Speaker 1: used to beat each other with canes on the floor
Speaker 1: of the Senate. So ups and downs. So with that
Speaker 1: in mind, whatever you decide to do is strategic. So
Speaker 1: you wear white, you wear pink, you want to send
Speaker 1: a message. Who you invite as a guest is very
Speaker 1: telling because that's supposed to send a message as well.
Speaker 1: And so they you know, they feast upon that throughout
Speaker 1: most of the day leading up to something like this.
Speaker 1: And then if if you're gonna have any show or
Speaker 1: form of protest, you gotta kind of figure out what
Speaker 1: that's gonna look like. So yesterday, prior to this thing
Speaker 1: kicking off, the best that they could seemingly up with was,
Speaker 1: let's get a bunch of kazoos and eggs and bingo
Speaker 1: cards and Al Green, who, as much as he's advocated
Speaker 1: over the years that we all stay together clearly as
Speaker 1: in a divisive mode, might be a different Al Green.
Speaker 1: My point is if that was organized yesterday, that might
Speaker 1: you guys, that might have been one of the worst days.
Speaker 1: I don't just mean the speech, but I also mean
Speaker 1: those damn videos like who has your who has your
Speaker 1: pr contract? Democrat Party?
Speaker 2: Who is it?
Speaker 1: Because they're rovenue blind man from that video? Which how
Speaker 1: did you not think? I think the number is what
Speaker 1: twenty five? They settled on twenty five senators doing the
Speaker 1: same video in the same tween with a Twitch channel
Speaker 1: for you know, where they're holding a little mic out
Speaker 1: in front and they're leaning in, and they're using the
Speaker 1: same graphics and you can play them side by side
Speaker 1: and they eerily sound the same because they are the same,
Speaker 1: which which shows you how disingenuous they are to not
Speaker 1: knowing whether it's okay to applaud for a kid with cancer.
Speaker 1: The whole thing was I can't fathom how it was
Speaker 1: handled yesterday. And you had lots of opportunity to push
Speaker 1: back on try I get it, you don't like the guy.
Speaker 1: You had all these things, and then the way that
Speaker 1: you chose to play it yesterday was to not have
Speaker 1: the ability one to come up with twenty five individual
Speaker 1: videos on a topic. You had to cut and paste that,
Speaker 1: and I know a lot of people won't see it
Speaker 1: that you send it out to, but a lot of
Speaker 1: them will and it just feels ick, okay, case of
Speaker 1: the icks. That's what the kids say. And then to
Speaker 1: watch the inability that adults have to take a topic
Speaker 1: or a phrase or a word that's put in front
Speaker 1: of him and decide how you feel about it and
Speaker 1: then react accordingly because you're unclear what the coordination is like.
Speaker 1: People see that stuff and it's not normal. People understand
Speaker 1: why people do things for partisan reasons, but they don't
Speaker 1: understand why they do things that just seem inane, stupid,
Speaker 1: and unnecessary. Because we do this. I understand, I'm talking
Speaker 1: a little in circles. I'm gonna play some audio, but
Speaker 1: it's just it's the thing that's stuck out the most
Speaker 1: to me yesterday, like you just clearly the last election
Speaker 1: didn't go well for you at the federal level, okay.
Speaker 3: And.
Speaker 1: He gives you more than enough to key off every
Speaker 1: single day. And it's it's just the worst messaging because
Speaker 1: it's it's wildly unrelatable. It's what was wrong with Tim
Speaker 1: Walls and Kamala Harris for that matter. And I understand
Speaker 1: you're saying I was Trump relatable. He's a billionaire, he's
Speaker 1: you know, he's got a tam blah blahlah. I'm telling
Speaker 1: you immensely more relatable, not necessarily because people want to
Speaker 1: hang out with him, but they understand him. I don't
Speaker 1: know what the hell that was. I was watching yesterday,
Speaker 1: Like I don't I I don't even understand the strategy
Speaker 1: of what was going down yesterday. So the president's up
Speaker 1: there talking and you can't decide whether it's what what
Speaker 1: if if it's something you like or you don't like,
Speaker 1: And so you oddly are sitting there and you're like, here,
Speaker 1: here's a kid, Let me let me help you out here. Okay,
Speaker 1: let me let me give you a little human need
Speaker 1: lesson because I understand too that it can be nuanced
Speaker 1: so you know, if it's things you like, then you applaud. Okay, right,
Speaker 1: it's very simple. So if if the speaker is saying
Speaker 1: something that you like, you know, oh you know, I
Speaker 1: like that, okay, and then you would like chicken wings,
Speaker 1: all right, the oh the president just talked about you.
Speaker 1: I like chicken wings. Okay, that's pretty good. And then uh,
Speaker 1: you know, if it's things you don't like, like uh,
Speaker 1: zoom meetings, right, oh boo hate zoom meetings. I'm trying
Speaker 1: to do this very apolitical. And then there's sometimes there's
Speaker 1: things where you need context, like look at this sweet kitten.
Speaker 1: Isn't this ah? Is this adorable little kitten? Right? But
Speaker 1: then you're like, ah, well what happened with the kid?
Speaker 1: And you're like, ah, the kitten was in a smelting accident.
Speaker 1: You're all see, and then you want to make sure
Speaker 1: you had you had and start applauding because you you've
Speaker 1: got the context. You should not applaud kittens in smelting accidents.
Speaker 1: Or here's a little boy with cancer. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: you're gonna go to context the context here, right, Uh,
Speaker 1: here's a little boy with cancer who's cancer is getting
Speaker 1: better and who dreams of being a Secret Service agent,
Speaker 1: and we're gonna we're gonna make him an honorary Secret
Speaker 1: Service So you can applaud that. That's okay, you can
Speaker 1: applaud the kid with cancer. He gets to be the
Speaker 1: honorary Secret Service agent. Now if it's the same little
Speaker 1: kid with cancer instead of being a Secret Service agent.
Speaker 1: He wants to meet John Cena. And then while he's
Speaker 1: meeting John Cena, John Cena starts, you know, beating his
Speaker 1: face in well, hold on, hold on there, Trump, right,
Speaker 1: that's because you would have had to rate for a
Speaker 1: way for context. But in this case, it's just a
Speaker 1: little boy. Sue's battling cancer and really really digs on
Speaker 1: the Secret Service and was super excited. Right he's thirteen.
Speaker 1: His name is DJ Daniels and not knowing how to
Speaker 1: deal with that. Yesterday was just weird man, which just
Speaker 1: and and I get it. The President is pointing, he's
Speaker 1: got people there. He talked about Lake and Riley. He
Speaker 1: had the uh it was that January. Little John was
Speaker 1: the mom's name with the with the girl on the
Speaker 1: gender ideology stuff. He honored uh compretour, the man who
Speaker 1: was shot and killed, the firefighter who was shot and
Speaker 1: killed while the during the assassination attempt. Like these are layups, bro,
Speaker 1: This is simple stuff. And what I saw yesterday was
Speaker 1: just about the worst way to handle it I think
Speaker 1: I've probably seen in a while. And that's saying something
Speaker 1: like the bar was really low yesterday, but somehow we
Speaker 1: got under it. Somehow we had to remove a member
Speaker 1: of Congress because he's waving a cane around like a lunatic.
Speaker 1: And know, and the bingo cards and the paddles and
Speaker 1: the and the whole thing, man, was just weird. So
Speaker 1: what was what was Trump talking about? Everything? Like everything,
Speaker 1: the thing went on forever. So we'll dive in. We'll
Speaker 1: get a little analysis too. Got Congressman brad Not he'll
Speaker 1: join us coming up at seven oh five. We'll see
Speaker 1: what he thinks. We got a lot of a lot
Speaker 1: of stuff to get into. But the whole thing was surreal, man,
Speaker 1: This looney Tunes all right, six seventeen back in just
Speaker 1: a few Hey, I don't I was. I don't know
Speaker 1: that there's anything that's really been a focal point of
Speaker 1: the first well, you know, six six weeks or so
Speaker 1: of this administration or whatever it is that there wasn't
Speaker 1: talked about, and and and again I understand that politically
Speaker 1: people have disagreements, so for what he's doing, I got it.
Speaker 1: But like, yes, it was a really bad pr day.
Speaker 1: The whole thing was just weird, man, and like and
Speaker 1: it starts. It started with that video, this video where
Speaker 1: they're all sitting there, they're all saying the same thing.
Speaker 1: They have all the same graphics. You can literally play
Speaker 1: them all at the same.
Speaker 4: Time immediately bring prices down starting on watch.
Speaker 1: Heard it's it's it's it's striking man, and they're all
Speaker 1: leaning forward. They got that lava leer style mic, you know,
Speaker 1: the little one that you clip on a lapel, but
Speaker 1: it's the fuzzy one and they're just holding it as uh,
Speaker 1: you know, as the kids do on the TikTok and
Speaker 1: and it just it smacks disingenuous, even if look what
Speaker 1: they're arguing is clearly the position that they have. The
Speaker 1: whole thing was weird, and Elon turned it into a
Speaker 1: truck you have away. Yesterday, right when the video came out,
Speaker 1: he posts he posted thing He's like, whoever figures out
Speaker 1: who wrote this, I'll give you a free uh a
Speaker 1: free truck. The people are run. Looks like Corey Booker did.
Speaker 1: It looks like I think a guy's gonna get a
Speaker 1: free truck get himself was a cyber truck. I mean,
Speaker 1: it was just it's just the weirdest timeline all day,
Speaker 1: every day, and then it's time for the speech. It's
Speaker 1: time for the speech, and you know it's gonna be schlocky,
Speaker 1: it's gonna be nationalist. It's gonna be but not in
Speaker 1: the bad way, but in you know, in the America
Speaker 1: first way that you know what's coming, so you you
Speaker 1: also know how to prepare for this. And the way
Speaker 1: that you used to prepare is you had interesting messaging.
Speaker 1: The same day. You brought people who were interesting guests
Speaker 1: that you could then put in front of reporters to
Speaker 1: make your point, like, ah see this person, this person's
Speaker 1: a veteran who voted for Trump and used to work
Speaker 1: for this department and now he doesn't. Isn't Trump bad?
Speaker 1: Like I expect all of that stuff? That wasn't it? Man?
Speaker 1: That was a temper tantrum and props and stinky gd
Speaker 1: Vance looked like every father at every gathering whose kids
Speaker 1: are kind of a holes, right, and he's got to
Speaker 1: sort him out, but he can't do it verbally, so
Speaker 1: he's got to do it just with the look he
Speaker 1: was going to. That's the look my mom used to
Speaker 1: give us, and that's the one you didn't want. And
Speaker 1: Speaker Johnson's doing that. Meanwhile, Trump's up there droning on
Speaker 1: about the same stuff he normally talks.
Speaker 4: Members of the United States Congress, thank you very much,
Speaker 4: and to my fellow citizens, America is back.
Speaker 1: All right, pep rally atmosphere. If you were a little wife,
Speaker 1: GOP's gonna they're gonna clap, okay whatever, We're not breaking
Speaker 1: the ground here. I didn't think it was interesting that
Speaker 1: they had that USA chant ready to go several times
Speaker 1: when disruption was afoot. It was very effective.
Speaker 4: Six weeks ago, I stood beneath the dome of this
Speaker 4: capital and proclaimed the dawn of the Golden Age of America.
Speaker 4: From that moment dawn, there's been nothing but swift and
Speaker 4: unrelenting action to usher in the greatest and most successful
Speaker 4: era in the history of our country.
Speaker 2: I gotta care who you are.
Speaker 1: Could you argue it hasn't been just neck break speed.
Speaker 1: Even if you hate everything that's happening, you have to
Speaker 1: recognize the speed of it. We'll have Congressman Brad Not on,
Speaker 1: so he was there for Seid Insanity yesterday. So we'll
Speaker 1: hear from somebody who was in the room coming up
Speaker 1: here in thirty minutes on the show. All right, So,
Speaker 1: like I said, Trump spoke for an hour and forty
Speaker 1: forty five two hours. I mean it was it was lengthy,
Speaker 1: and it ran the gamut, and there was there were shenanigans,
Speaker 1: and there were disruptions, and there were just weird bingo
Speaker 1: cards which I don't even mind the bingo cards as much,
Speaker 1: but more for people watching rather than Congress. But members
Speaker 1: of Congress put them out. Tom Tillis stole our idea
Speaker 1: and did it. So whatever that being said, what you
Speaker 1: saw pold very well. And I don't just mean in
Speaker 1: Republican circles. Now take the polling for whatever it's worth,
Speaker 1: But seemingly the reaction from the public was not one
Speaker 1: that you know, turned in some major negative way for Trump.
Speaker 1: I don't know that it was a huge boost, but
Speaker 1: it was well received along the lines of where the
Speaker 1: approval ratings are now. People liked what they heard for
Speaker 1: the most part. Um, all right, I can't hear my
Speaker 1: button bar So let me do this real quick. Ross
Speaker 1: has dubbing some other stuff in, so hang on, all right,
Speaker 1: So let's get back to it because I'm gonna need
Speaker 1: the whole damn show to cover all this, because again
Speaker 1: he talked about everything.
Speaker 4: They come back, the likes of which the world has
Speaker 4: never witnessed and perhaps will never witness again, than anything
Speaker 4: like it.
Speaker 1: Good does Trump love him some truck?
Speaker 4: Presidential election of November fifth was a mandate like has
Speaker 4: not been seen in many decades. We won all seven
Speaker 4: swing states, giving us an electoral college.
Speaker 5: Rectory of three hundred and twelve votes.
Speaker 4: We won the popular vote by big numbers.
Speaker 5: And won counties in our country.
Speaker 1: What do you And this is what I'm talking about.
Speaker 1: So you saw the one he's literally just stating facts there,
Speaker 1: he's I mean, he's in bell you know.
Speaker 2: Uh uh.
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of puffery, right, a little the
Speaker 1: way that he's delivered it. He's but he's stating facts.
Speaker 1: He won all the swing states. He told you the
Speaker 1: electoral college number he got, and then he said he
Speaker 1: won the popular vote like that isn't in dispute, right,
Speaker 1: So when when this this pre planned disruptive behavior was
Speaker 1: out there Republicans already with the USA USA thing. And
Speaker 1: by the way, it's it irritated the hell out of
Speaker 1: the MSNBC panel. I'm not gonna play all the audio
Speaker 1: because it's it's like five six minutes. But you had
Speaker 1: Michael Steele there, you had Simone Sanders and like they
Speaker 1: were upset, they were upset with Democrats for not like
Speaker 1: having a way to not look stupid doing that yesterday. So,
Speaker 1: I mean, just just a disaster in the minds of
Speaker 1: the people who were doing analysis on this stuff, which
Speaker 1: then lets Trump's stuff just stand. You're not even arguing
Speaker 1: the stuff that he's throwing out there, You're arguing the
Speaker 1: strategy of disrupting him wasn't done well. And if that's
Speaker 1: the post analysis I'm going to see on MSNBC with
Speaker 1: their you know, eight person I hate Trump panel, I'd
Speaker 1: say he accomplished whatever he wanted to accomplish yesterday.
Speaker 2: For the first time in modern history.
Speaker 1: Well, here's where it starts to get pretty.
Speaker 6: The country is headed in the right direction, then the
Speaker 6: wrong direction. Cop it's an astonishing record twenty seven point swing,
Speaker 6: the most ever.
Speaker 1: All right, so so things are getting dicey, and then
Speaker 1: and then you have Representative Al Green, who he represents Texas,
Speaker 1: one of the metros of Texas. I don't care which
Speaker 1: maybe it's housedon, it doesn't matter. So he's up there,
Speaker 1: he's got a cane and he's decided he's going to
Speaker 1: go full Heckler's veto right where he's going to start
Speaker 1: screaming so nobody can accomplish what they're trying to accomplish.
Speaker 1: And to the credit of Mike Johnson, you know, even
Speaker 1: though he was gabbling away and trying to restore order,
Speaker 1: was he was willing to do what a lot of
Speaker 1: people have wondered why it hasn't been done before in
Speaker 1: past States of the Union or other events where you
Speaker 1: have elected officials, right, not members of the gallery who
Speaker 1: elected officials probably let in, but rather elected officials who
Speaker 1: have chosen to disrupt the proceedings. They utilize the sergeant
Speaker 1: at arms, which is what the sergeant at arms is.
Speaker 2: For forty one point job.
Speaker 7: Members are directed to uphold and maintained the corps in
Speaker 7: the House and to seize any.
Speaker 1: Further disruptions that you're warning.
Speaker 7: Members are engaged in wilful and continuing breach of decorum,
Speaker 7: and the Chair is prepared to direct the sergeant at
Speaker 7: arms to restore order to the joint session.
Speaker 1: Look, at this point, this is the battle for who
Speaker 1: gets to look like the adults in the room. And
Speaker 1: this is where, strategically, I don't understand why Democrats press.
Speaker 7: Forward, mister Graen, take your seat. Take your seat, sir,
Speaker 7: take your seat. One of the members continue to engage
Speaker 7: in wilful and concert the disruption or proper decorum. A
Speaker 7: chair now directs a sartant at arms to restore order.
Speaker 7: Remove just gentlemen.
Speaker 1: From the chaybird, all right, and then you know, and
Speaker 1: then remove him so he can literally go in the
Speaker 1: hallway and send a fundraising email, which which he did,
Speaker 1: probably more than one, but I did see one. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I Because again, it's it's not necessarily how the wonks
Speaker 1: are looking at it, it's how the American public, who
Speaker 1: may have tuned in, who is kind of plugged in
Speaker 1: but not super plugged in. I mean, obviously they hear
Speaker 1: the big stories. There's a lot going on right now,
Speaker 1: but you know, they tuned in to see what was what,
Speaker 1: and so the the litmus test is how does this
Speaker 1: look to somebody who's watching it? And it looks dumb.
Speaker 1: It looks childish, It looks like there's no plan there,
Speaker 1: when clearly there was so much planning that went into yesterday.
Speaker 1: We had all the stories, We had the stupid video
Speaker 1: they made. We had the Axios article about I don't
Speaker 1: Know Nunish, which talked about the bingo cards and the
Speaker 1: egg cartons and the paddles and the noise makers and
Speaker 1: everything that they were planning on doing. It was all
Speaker 1: out there. It had the whole day to really test
Speaker 1: audiences because they talked about it, and yet you still
Speaker 1: went through with it. It was amazing to me.
Speaker 4: The media and our friends and the Democrat Party kept
Speaker 4: saying we needed new legislation, we must have legislation to
Speaker 4: secure the border, but it turned out that all we
Speaker 4: really needed was a new president.
Speaker 2: The members don't lie.
Speaker 1: Remember, remember you had crossings that were on some days
Speaker 1: ten thousand people a day. At the of it, you
Speaker 1: were averaging like five thousand for most of the Biden
Speaker 1: administration a day. What was it the city of Pittsburgh
Speaker 1: per annual? Was it annually the city of Pittsburgh or something,
Speaker 1: whatever the comparable number is. And then that number went
Speaker 1: from a height of ten thousand plus per day, averaging
Speaker 1: five thousand per day where Trump was averaging last week,
Speaker 1: what was it like one hundred and fifty. And so
Speaker 1: the point that he's making resonates with people. They're like, yeah,
Speaker 1: they didn't pass any legislation, and all of a sudden,
Speaker 1: it's not a thing anymore. He's absolutely right again, far
Speaker 1: better prepared this time around than last time around, making
Speaker 1: sure to get in these things, these sound bites, these
Speaker 1: little points that will resonate with people, not people who
Speaker 1: are the hyper partisan people, but just people who were people.
Speaker 4: Man the hours of taking the oath of office, I
Speaker 4: declared a national emergency on our southern border, and I
Speaker 4: deployed the US military and border patrol to repel the
Speaker 4: invasion of our country. And what a job they've done
Speaker 4: as a result. Illegal border crossings last month were by
Speaker 4: far the lowest ever recorded ever.
Speaker 2: You can't you can't argue that point with dirty look
Speaker 2: and pisus.
Speaker 1: This is what it is.
Speaker 4: They heard my words and they chose not to come
Speaker 4: much easier that way.
Speaker 1: Anyway, the whole thing, and we're I think maybe a
Speaker 1: third through the audio. So we'll bang through this throughoute
Speaker 1: the day. Like I said, we can get calls if
Speaker 1: you want eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. We'll talk to the congressman coming up. That'll
Speaker 1: be at eight oh five. So uh, let's do this.
Speaker 1: We'll go ahead and take a break, Yeah, because I
Speaker 1: want to package this, but we'll get into the again,
Speaker 1: the inability to just process whatever the thing is and
Speaker 1: then decide whether you're going to clap for the thing.
Speaker 1: You're not going to clap for the thing. You don't
Speaker 1: have to clap for the thing. But I have to
Speaker 1: understand that you're able to process the things being put
Speaker 1: out in front of you. And the problem is, if
Speaker 1: you're a Democratic member of Congress, there's probably nothing there
Speaker 1: you liked yesterday. And because he covered so many different
Speaker 1: topics and so many things and put him in very
Speaker 1: clear and concise talking points, I think he was wildly
Speaker 1: effective communicating this, even if you think he's wrong, even
Speaker 1: if you think he's embellishing, even if you think that
Speaker 1: eventually this decision will be horrible. You know, Twitter yesterday
Speaker 1: with all the tariff stuff, was these insane tweets. And again,
Speaker 1: I don't know why the algorithm now feeds me all
Speaker 1: the insane Democrat stuff right where you know the Twitter activists, right,
Speaker 1: not just members of Congress stating their opinion. Yeah, or
Speaker 1: the uh you know, the former Social Security director what's
Speaker 1: his name, It doesn't matter. The Democrat who's like, they're
Speaker 1: going to stop, they're not gonna be able to send
Speaker 1: Social Security checks within the next sixty to ninety days.
Speaker 1: I mean, they were just posting this stuff out there
Speaker 1: based on everything that was going on yesterday. It was
Speaker 1: it was the it was the the chicken little strategy
Speaker 1: all day yesterday. And President didn't even address any of
Speaker 1: that stuff yesterday, just went in there, kept on message,
Speaker 1: did his thing. It was again I don't necessarily believe
Speaker 1: the polls, but it came across as very effective, if
Speaker 1: if not really really long. So we'll get into more.
Speaker 1: We've got green policy stuff. Gulf of America. Trump called
Speaker 1: Elizabeth Warren Pocahontas again. I wish he'd go with liah Watha.
Speaker 1: I prefer that, but here we were stuck in this
Speaker 1: and we'll continue as really a lot of the trans stuff,
Speaker 1: I think is where most of the news cycle is
Speaker 1: going to go this morning. So we'll get into it. Inflation,
Speaker 1: everything else coming up CaCO Day Radio program, right, get
Speaker 1: back into the little bit of Trump audio, and then
Speaker 1: we chat with Congressman Brad Nott. That'll be a seven
Speaker 1: o five coming up Friday, just a couple of days
Speaker 1: from now. South Carolina is going to be executing somebody.
Speaker 1: This guy, what.
Speaker 2: Did he do?
Speaker 1: He used a bat to beat his girlfriend's parents to death,
Speaker 1: but not quickly, took his time. Basically had one in
Speaker 1: one room, one in the other. The girlfriend's there, she's
Speaker 1: freaking out, you'll never leave me, blah blah blah. And
Speaker 1: so he beats her parents to death and he was
Speaker 1: going to kill her, but she was able to escape anyway.
Speaker 1: Just so we're clear as to why they're going to
Speaker 1: grease this dude. But what's interesting is they're doing firing squad.
Speaker 1: And so I'm reading an article. I'm just a little curious,
Speaker 1: and in South Carolina, I just assumed when they do
Speaker 1: firing squads, like in Utah, it's deputies or its prison officials.
Speaker 1: That's not the case in South Carolina. According to CBS
Speaker 1: News did a big piece on this and they were
Speaker 1: just talking about the specifics of it. It's random volunteers.
Speaker 1: It's three people who have been randomly selected who volunteered
Speaker 1: because I guess they want to shoot a dude. Who
Speaker 1: get to shoot this guy? And they all have live ammo.
Speaker 1: I guess the way that they do it down there. Now,
Speaker 1: they get a little chair, they mark the heart. You got
Speaker 1: your ram on. But yeah, so in South Carolina, it's
Speaker 1: like the Wonka ticket or something, and you get and
Speaker 1: then that's it. And they don't tell you who they are,
Speaker 1: really anything about them other than they're volunteers. So just
Speaker 1: a little something I had no idea about. But here
Speaker 1: we go, all right, real quickly, I want to play
Speaker 1: these two pieces of audio. So was I was talking
Speaker 1: about the young boy with cancer variety wants to be
Speaker 1: Secret Service agent. You had that moment and again this
Speaker 1: is the part where you got a human This is
Speaker 1: the part where you got to figure out, Okay, there's
Speaker 1: some things maybe I should applaud for, not that the
Speaker 1: kid has cancer, but because this.
Speaker 4: Right and tonight, DJ, we're going to do you the
Speaker 4: biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new
Speaker 4: Secret Service Director Sean Curran to officially make you an
Speaker 4: agent of the United States Secret Service.
Speaker 1: Right, So he did a make alation literally right there. Hey,
Speaker 1: you hear clapping, but you hear clapping because the GOP
Speaker 1: members are classing. How is this remotely problem atic? That's
Speaker 1: what I want to know for the record, And this
Speaker 1: is disgusting.
Speaker 8: The President made a spectacle, yeah, out of praising a
Speaker 8: young man who serves thus far survived pediatric cancer, as
Speaker 8: if the President had something.
Speaker 9: To do with that.
Speaker 8: This was in the midst of him praising Doge doche cuts,
Speaker 8: among other things, have cut off funding for ongoing research
Speaker 8: into pediatric cancer.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, and just so we're clear, this is
Speaker 1: the this is the big lie, because there was a
Speaker 1: standalone pediatric cancer bill and then they jammed it in
Speaker 1: that omnibus so that they could claim that the GOP
Speaker 1: doesn't like kids with cancer. Right, So that whole canard
Speaker 1: from like two months ago. But that's your reaction to
Speaker 1: revisiting a small portion of what was nearly a two
Speaker 1: hour speech yesterday, and it had all of the little
Speaker 1: side stories, very State of the Union ee right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: applause lines, you had non applause lines. You had to
Speaker 1: see what the opposition was going to do, and it
Speaker 1: got crazy. And in fact, one of the congressional members,
Speaker 1: Al Green from Texas, he's waving his cane around. They
Speaker 1: threw him out of the damn chamber. But like the
Speaker 1: analysis and the polling that you saw on this look
Speaker 1: like it was a positive night for President Trump and
Speaker 1: the GOP for that matter. One of the members of
Speaker 1: Congress is our own bread not He joins us this morning.
Speaker 1: How you doing today, sir?
Speaker 9: Yes, Sara, how are you?
Speaker 1: I'm good. Did you find it difficult not to get
Speaker 1: thrown out of the House Chamber yesterday because some of
Speaker 1: your colleagues, did.
Speaker 9: You know, it was a privilege to be there? We
Speaker 9: were all disappointed, those of us who were sitting on
Speaker 9: the Republican side. It must have been forty five seconds
Speaker 9: and Al Green stood up and was berating the pre
Speaker 9: as that and treat peopled. I think even some of
Speaker 9: the Democrats were a little bit mortified at what they saw.
Speaker 9: But all in all, it was a just a blip.
Speaker 9: I thought the speech was wonderful. Of the energy on
Speaker 9: the Republican side, this was pretty high, and it was
Speaker 9: it was a privilege to be there.
Speaker 1: What what do you think it accomplished? Because again, it's
Speaker 1: a speech not for you guys, necessarily, it's for the
Speaker 1: American people. The President said that, and it seemed to
Speaker 1: be pretty well received, but I don't know that it
Speaker 1: was new information. It was. It was a victory lap.
Speaker 1: I think people are calling it a victory lap less
Speaker 1: than six weeks into an administration. What do you what
Speaker 1: do you think it accomplishes?
Speaker 9: Well, you know it was. It was from a procedural standpoint,
Speaker 9: it filled the slot of a traditional state of union
Speaker 9: and it served It served several purposes. I think it
Speaker 9: showed all of us that the president it's not running
Speaker 9: to be a ceremonial president. He was focused in the campaign.
Speaker 9: He has certainly been focused ever since January twentieth, and
Speaker 9: he went right down the same list of priorities that
Speaker 9: he has been championing for the last several months of years.
Speaker 9: And the speak was appropriately very much focused domestically. He
Speaker 9: lifted off whether it was the wasteful spending that he
Speaker 9: and Elon Musk have identified, whether it was securing our border,
Speaker 9: highlighting that his policies are working. We're at the lowest
Speaker 9: point ever in terms of illegal crossings. He gave great
Speaker 9: creance to the no tax on tips. He was highlighting
Speaker 9: his desire to change the energy policy. He wants to
Speaker 9: get the regulatory policy back in order he wants to
Speaker 9: get all the taxes passed soon. He's reminding Congress that
Speaker 9: if we don't act, there's going to be a four
Speaker 9: and a half trillion dollar tax increase on every American
Speaker 9: And if anything, it just reminded every bodies that the
Speaker 9: president is focused, he's working, he's trying to deliver for
Speaker 9: the country, and at least for me and my congressional seat,
Speaker 9: it was almost a reminder I'm doing my part and
Speaker 9: you guys in Congress you'd better be doing yours too.
Speaker 1: And that's what I wanted to ask you, like, are
Speaker 1: you guys going to be able to because I mean,
Speaker 1: let's face and we're talking about continuing resolutions at the
Speaker 1: same time we're talking about insane spending stuff like the
Speaker 1: list you just referenced is crazy. We've talked about it
Speaker 1: here on the show, and it's that sounds like a
Speaker 1: disconnect in some people's minds. So, does Congress have a
Speaker 1: plan to right size the government under their required powers
Speaker 1: the power of the purse? That's you, guys, So explain
Speaker 1: to me how you enact with the President's laying out
Speaker 1: so that there's not these contradictory things.
Speaker 9: Great question and The short answer is, yes, we do
Speaker 9: have a plan. One of the frustrating parts that I've
Speaker 9: seen in Congress is I wish we could move faster
Speaker 9: across the board. But when you have a Senate, when
Speaker 9: you have the House of Representatives, and when the majority
Speaker 9: that we have is as small as it is, and
Speaker 9: you have very little wiggle room, uh to to to
Speaker 9: fluctuate with you when you're in Congress, kind of really
Speaker 9: focus on the issues that that we can get into
Speaker 9: a bill. I hope the Senate will accept it and
Speaker 9: send it to the President. And right now the White
Speaker 9: House is seeing we are making good progress with the reconciliation.
Speaker 9: We are trying to get everything, and I say everything
Speaker 9: into one big bill. That's a tremendous task just from
Speaker 9: a topic standpoint. And you know, I don't know what
Speaker 9: I'm going to do with the continuing Resolution if one
Speaker 9: is proposed. The White House has has already telegraphed that
Speaker 9: they think that's the most responsible short term fix while
Speaker 9: we negotiate and fix the taxes and the regulations and
Speaker 9: the policy, et cetera. But to answer your question, there's
Speaker 9: absolutely feverish work trying to get this one big bill
Speaker 9: that the President wants through and to his desk before
Speaker 9: the summer. And again, when you've got a majority as
Speaker 9: slim as the House of Representatives, just to put it
Speaker 9: into an image, you have a Republican who's in a
Speaker 9: a what's called an R plus thirty the Republican thirty
Speaker 9: district and then you've got a New York who's in
Speaker 9: a Democrat plus two districts, a New York Republican and
Speaker 9: we really don't have any leeway. We have you know,
Speaker 9: we can lose one or two votes and that's it.
Speaker 9: So when you've got a conference that's as diverse as ours,
Speaker 9: with with a majority that's a slim as ours, that
Speaker 9: can complicate things. But the President is leading, we are,
Speaker 9: we're putting the bill together and uh, we believe that
Speaker 9: we'll be able to pass it before the summer.
Speaker 1: What do you think because you've been up there, just
Speaker 1: just to be clear, you've been up there for about
Speaker 1: five minutes, right because you sworn in, you were sworn
Speaker 1: in in January. What a what a Congress to get
Speaker 1: sworn into talk to about? I know you have nothing
Speaker 1: to compare it against, but you know it's drinking from
Speaker 1: a fire hose right now, and this is how you're
Speaker 1: learning how to how to be a congressman. So explain
Speaker 1: how that works for you and what your day is
Speaker 1: like and how you're able to figure out how it
Speaker 1: used to be different talking to some of the other members.
Speaker 9: Well, I'll start from and reverse. It used to be
Speaker 9: different at the level of vitriol on you know between
Speaker 9: parties was not nearly as high as it is currently.
Speaker 9: And that's been something that really has been upsetting and
Speaker 9: and something that I wish we could we could reverse. Candidly,
Speaker 9: I think America got a snapshot of it last night.
Speaker 9: There were lots of things that the President said that
Speaker 9: traditionally even the Democrats would have stood and applauded for.
Speaker 9: There were lots of moments in that speech or even
Speaker 9: at the whole evening, for instance, when when his cabinet
Speaker 9: was was introduced. Traditionally both parties stand for the recognition
Speaker 9: of his cabinet. That did not happen last night. When
Speaker 9: the President recognized a young man who had overcome tremendous
Speaker 9: sizes with brain cancer and was given a ceremonial badge
Speaker 9: to the Secret Service, the Democrats didn't stand up. When
Speaker 9: you know a young man by the name of Jason
Speaker 9: Hartley was announced to have been accepted at West Point.
Speaker 9: His father was slain in law enforcement. He is a
Speaker 9: third generation now be a third generation service member for
Speaker 9: our army. The Democrats didn't stand up, and I don't
Speaker 9: quite know what to make of that, because candidly, this
Speaker 9: is probably even more upsetting. When the cameras are off,
Speaker 9: the vitriol goes down, and the resentment goes down. It's
Speaker 9: almost kind of a perfunctory four show act that the Democrats,
Speaker 9: I don't want to be too broad, not all of them,
Speaker 9: but the ones that we all know of and the
Speaker 9: ones that we saw last night, by and large were
Speaker 9: acting in that way. But walking home from the speech,
Speaker 9: I saw some Democrats and their countenants were was completely different.
Speaker 10: Uh.
Speaker 9: They were friendly, they were they were they were engaging.
Speaker 9: So I'm not sure what to make of that.
Speaker 1: Uh.
Speaker 9: But in terms of me getting getting my sea legs
Speaker 9: under us, we we agree with most of what the
Speaker 9: President outlined. We believe that the the folks wanted to
Speaker 9: change in November. They voted for it. Everything from men's
Speaker 9: off of men, men getting out of women's locker rooms,
Speaker 9: men getting off of women's teams. To the taxes and
Speaker 9: the suspending is just outrageous. It's more outrageous now that
Speaker 9: we have the lights on than it was even during
Speaker 9: the campaign and we were just talking about it hypothetically.
Speaker 9: And we we have built the staff, we are on
Speaker 9: good committees, and we're trying to work in unison both
Speaker 9: with within our own office, within the committees, and then
Speaker 9: with the White House to get these things done. And
Speaker 9: it's been fascinating to see it kind of behind the scenes.
Speaker 1: To be sure, Here's here's what I can't wrap my
Speaker 1: head around. And let me go back to what you
Speaker 1: just said, all of these these crazy spending things right
Speaker 1: where they're like, oh, look, we found out that we
Speaker 1: spend ten million to shove marbles up cat's rear ends
Speaker 1: and then electrocute them, right, which is a thing. That's
Speaker 1: that's one of the things. And for the life of me,
Speaker 1: I can't understand why there's not a member, a Democrat
Speaker 1: member of Congress on recker going, hey, do you think
Speaker 1: there's a good way to spend ten million dollars? They
Speaker 1: have been they have not been asked to weigh in
Speaker 1: on this. Have you had a conversation with one of
Speaker 1: your colleagues, where even one of your Democrat colleagues is like, nah,
Speaker 1: transgender operas in Colombia is probably not the best use
Speaker 1: of our money. Are they honest at least in private?
Speaker 1: That that's insane?
Speaker 9: You know, I think gay they have They have made
Speaker 9: such a villain out of President Trumps. If you remember,
Speaker 9: during his first term, they they they accused him of
Speaker 9: essentially working with Putin to uh over return to the
Speaker 9: government and accused him of being just a vicious, vicious,
Speaker 9: evil person. And he clearly is not. Everything that they
Speaker 9: said about him in Russia was a lie, but the
Speaker 9: viciousness and the vitriol towards him has only grown. And unfortunately,
Speaker 9: if there's anything that the president is doing, I have
Speaker 9: not had any any specific interactions where they will will
Speaker 9: where they will even give the first card in his favor.
Speaker 9: Uh And I think it's because as a party, they
Speaker 9: just cannot accept that someone who they think is as
Speaker 9: odious as President Trump could do anything that is in
Speaker 9: the right direction.
Speaker 1: And you're not sure my faith in humanity here a
Speaker 1: good job of it.
Speaker 9: So the most the most I've gotten out of I
Speaker 9: say I've gotten the most I've heard in conversation is
Speaker 9: they will say something along the lines of, well, we
Speaker 9: could always clean up spending, but they're going about it
Speaker 9: the wrong way. That's kind of the baseline in private response.
Speaker 9: But there's no acknowledgment that how he's going about it
Speaker 9: is effective. There's no acknowledgement that it's not just a
Speaker 9: little bit with spending that we've got to do. It's
Speaker 9: thirty six trillion dollars in total, two trillion dollars a year.
Speaker 9: You know, things like spending tens of billions of dollars
Speaker 9: giving free health care to illegals, things like that that
Speaker 9: most Americans find outrageous. The other party is simply not
Speaker 9: in lockstep with the American people, and that is certainly
Speaker 9: the case that I've observed in Washington.
Speaker 1: Let me let me ask you. We're chatting with Congressman
Speaker 1: Brad not about President's speech last night, but there's two
Speaker 1: other things I want to talk about. One the Zelenski meeting. Right, What,
Speaker 1: holy holy cow, what a Friday that was. It's after
Speaker 1: the show, so then I get the whole weekend to
Speaker 1: digest it. Everyone's watching a layout. Where are we at
Speaker 1: on that? And by the way, you don't think Putin's
Speaker 1: a good guy, right, because that's the narrative. That's the narrative.
Speaker 1: Now that obviously, if if you thought Zelenski, I'm of
Speaker 1: the camp that I don't understand. I think Chris Murphy,
Speaker 1: your senate colleague, uh and and others like Jim this
Speaker 1: dude up and he walked in and absolutely suicided himself
Speaker 1: in that meeting. I don't I there's no there's no
Speaker 1: fathomable reason to take that approach. That being said, the
Speaker 1: narrative then is you then have to assume that everybody
Speaker 1: loves Putin and the Republicans love Putin up there, So
Speaker 1: do you love Putin? Do you think he's a good guy?
Speaker 1: Or where are you at on this Zelensky Ukraine? All
Speaker 1: of this stuff.
Speaker 9: Again reversed. Putin is a vicious murdering, you know, dictator
Speaker 9: in Russia who is an absolute adversary, a threat to
Speaker 9: our country. He's a threat to Europe. That can absolutely
Speaker 9: be true. But also what President Trump is attempting to
Speaker 9: achieve is a durable peace in Ukraine. This war has
Speaker 9: been going on for years. There is absolutely no plan
Speaker 9: from either side to land a plane, so to speak,
Speaker 9: to achieve peace. Putin for all of his flaws, he
Speaker 9: did recognize President Trump the first term, there was no
Speaker 9: military effort on his end. He annexed Crimea under Barack Obama.
Speaker 9: He began this war after the disastrous Afghanistan withdrawal under
Speaker 9: President Biden. And he has at least come to the
Speaker 9: table and has signaled willingness to engage in peace talks.
Speaker 9: The part that President Trump has recognized with Ukraine is
Speaker 9: that the American public should not be the world's atm
Speaker 9: with conflicts, and when we have spent hundreds of billions
Speaker 9: of dollars on Ukraine, for what purpose going forward? When
Speaker 9: there's no plan to win, there's no plan to land
Speaker 9: a planet into durable peace. President Trump has seized this narrative,
Speaker 9: and he mentioned.
Speaker 1: It last night.
Speaker 9: He gave creeings to the fact it was a difficult
Speaker 9: conversation on Friday. He did not want it to go
Speaker 9: that way. However, when President Zolensky cannot even muster the
Speaker 9: manners to say thank you in the Oval Office, when
Speaker 9: he can't look at the American taxpayer and say how
Speaker 9: much he appreciates it, when he wants to challenge President
Speaker 9: Trump's ideas in a way that is absolutely ungrateful and disrespectful.
Speaker 9: That was not the time to move forward. And President Zelensky,
Speaker 9: to his credit, sent the President a letter that the
Speaker 9: President read last night, and he is ready to engage.
Speaker 9: He is ready to sign the minerals deal. He's ready
Speaker 9: to work creatively to have a lasting peace. And just
Speaker 9: from a strategic standpoint, the President the President's plan of
Speaker 9: economic development and rare earth metals and minerals extracted from Ukraine,
Speaker 9: that's a trillion dollar economic pack with Ukraine. There could
Speaker 9: be no greater assurance from a security standpoint, been placing
Speaker 9: American civilian businesses and engineering companies and extraction companies in Ukraine.
Speaker 9: And so the President is trying his best to help
Speaker 9: Ukraine out. He's going to develop their economy, he's going
Speaker 9: to recoup some money for the taxpayers. He will enrich Ukrainians,
Speaker 9: he will win rich Americans. And he's all in on it.
Speaker 9: And thankfully the letter that he read to the Congress
Speaker 9: last night, it seems like progress is being made from Zelenski.
Speaker 9: I will say that, I will say it's worth voting.
Speaker 9: It's real quickly. The only applause, the only applause that
Speaker 9: the Democrats gave was for Ukraine.
Speaker 1: And I if we're going to go forward with this
Speaker 1: and that is in America's interest, and I think people
Speaker 1: are there. Congressman brad Not appreciate it, and we will
Speaker 1: be right back. Thank you to Congressman brad Not for
Speaker 1: joining us. He was there for Trump's speech last night.
Speaker 1: Give us a little inside the chamber spy report there.
Speaker 1: But yeah, I don't know that we're learning anything new.
Speaker 1: I just I don't know if you're the Democrats, how
Speaker 1: you deal with everything there. Like usually a guy's got
Speaker 1: one or two kind of core issues and you can
Speaker 1: really kind of lean into that from an opposition standpoint.
Speaker 1: But he threw everything out, everything out, and when you
Speaker 1: had points of contention over a thirteen year let me
Speaker 1: tell you the story of this. DJ Daniel Okay Kid's thirteen.
Speaker 1: He was told six years ago that he had six
Speaker 1: months to live, essentially because of the fact that he
Speaker 1: has answer. So six years ago he's told he had
Speaker 1: six months to live. Obviously, he's beaten the odds. He
Speaker 1: hasn't beat everything, but he's doing a lot better than
Speaker 1: they told him. And as a result, his thing is
Speaker 1: he loves law enforcement. He wants to be a cop
Speaker 1: all of these things, and so over the course of
Speaker 1: those years, this young man has acquired essentially nine hundred
Speaker 1: different honorary police badges or law enforcement badges, not just
Speaker 1: police but sheriff's departments. And now last night, the Secret
Speaker 1: Service during the State of the Union, let me play
Speaker 1: the audio for you.
Speaker 4: Again, and tonight, DJ, We're going to do you the
Speaker 4: biggest honor of them all. I am asking our new
Speaker 4: Secret Service Director, Sean Kurrn to officially make you an
Speaker 4: agent of the United States Secret Service.
Speaker 1: But this was the this was the ease, This was
Speaker 1: the layup of everything yesterday, and it was still hardiesting divided.
Speaker 1: Those are all GOP members of Congress that you hear clapping.
Speaker 1: That was crazy to me and I thought, well, surely
Speaker 1: at least the analysts would figure this out, but they
Speaker 1: didn't like they even leaned into it. MSNBC Rachel Maddow for.
Speaker 8: The record, And this is disgusting. The President made a
Speaker 8: spectacle out of praising a young man who serves thus
Speaker 8: far survived pediatric cancer, as if the President had something
Speaker 8: to do with that.
Speaker 9: This was in the midst of.
Speaker 8: Him praising dog doge cuts, among other things, have cut
Speaker 8: off funding for ongoing research into pediatric.
Speaker 1: Cancer, right and and you kind of expect it because
Speaker 1: it's Rachel Maddow, but you don't expect it on that
Speaker 1: considering everything else that was out there. And I was
Speaker 1: playing this cut right at the top of the hour.
Speaker 1: I want to play it again so you hear the
Speaker 1: transition this woman takes. All right, So this is one
Speaker 1: of the other MSNBC panelists. I want you to I
Speaker 1: want you to hear she's so she's in a position
Speaker 1: where she has to analyze this. And instead of just
Speaker 1: being like, well, no, that was nice. The young man's thirteen,
Speaker 1: he's uh, he's he's you know, he's put up this
Speaker 1: good fight with cancer and so he got an honorary
Speaker 1: Secret Service badge. This is let's move on to something
Speaker 1: of substance. But no, this was a great moment. Instead
Speaker 1: of just saying that we get this and I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'll play the thing through because it's so insane every
Speaker 1: moment after about the twenty second mark.
Speaker 10: I think this was a lesson in finding one thing
Speaker 10: that you let yourself feel, and I let myself feel
Speaker 10: boy about DJ and I hope he's alive for another
Speaker 10: you know, ninety five years, right, And I hope he
Speaker 10: lives and the life he wants to live. He wants
Speaker 10: to be a cop. He knows what he wants to do,
Speaker 10: and maybe when you have childhood cancer that crystallizes for you.
Speaker 10: And I hope he has a long life as a
Speaker 10: law enforcement officer. But I hope he never has to
Speaker 10: defend the United States Capital against Donald Trump supporters. And
Speaker 10: if he does, I hope he isn't one of the
Speaker 10: six who loses his life to suicide. And I hope
Speaker 10: he isn't one who has to testify against the people
Speaker 10: who carried out acts of seditious conspiracy and then live
Speaker 10: to see Donald Trump pardon those people.
Speaker 1: How does your brain work like that? How do you
Speaker 1: go from he's thirteen, he was essentially given a death sentence,
Speaker 1: and he's overcome that prognostication by a factor of six
Speaker 1: times thus far. And you just hope that if he
Speaker 1: does keep beating cancer, he doesn't kill himself. That's the
Speaker 1: level of TDS that you were dealing with yesterday.
Speaker 2: Did you see the two Democratic congress women roll their eyes? Yes, Yeah,
Speaker 2: it was Debbie Dingle and Debbie Wasserman Schultz.
Speaker 1: I saw Wasserman Schultz, I didn't Debbie Dingle.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they were sitting right by each other, like side
Speaker 2: by side.
Speaker 1: Yeah. I just didn't know the other chicks name because
Speaker 1: I didn't care. But yeah, it just roll your eyes
Speaker 1: at that, which which shows you how powerful a moment
Speaker 1: it was, because when they're reacting like that, they realize
Speaker 1: that that's probably not good for what's happening for them
Speaker 1: right now. It was just remarkable. The whole thing was remarkable.
Speaker 1: It was coupled with that video that they all recorded
Speaker 1: different versions of, but all said the same thing. From
Speaker 1: a pr standpoint, was not a good day, and yesterday
Speaker 1: it was a day through the cras you probably could
Speaker 1: have made some hay right with all the teriff insanity
Speaker 1: that was going on. You got the video of them
Speaker 1: ripping Jack Daniels off the shelves that they've already paid for,
Speaker 1: by the way, just point that out. They've already bought it,
Speaker 1: already imported it, they have it in possession, So you're
Speaker 1: not costing Jack Daniels any money, I guess, unless you
Speaker 1: want to look forward to reorders. But as far as
Speaker 1: those bottles went, like this was your day and you
Speaker 1: could run around and you could do them and gloom
Speaker 1: and you could throw all this stuff out, and you
Speaker 1: could point to the stock market during inter day training
Speaker 1: and go, ah, look what's going on. This is crazy vat.
Speaker 1: He's destroying the economy in just six weeks. It's a
Speaker 1: new record. And some chose to do that. Others chose
Speaker 1: to roll their eyes at a thirteen year old cancer
Speaker 1: victim and feel like they had some sort of the
Speaker 1: moral high ground there. But that's what happens when he's
Speaker 1: hitting you with nothing, but you know, left right, left right,
Speaker 1: one thing after another will keep you know, switching it up.
Speaker 1: Get into all the different things that he ran on,
Speaker 1: all the different things that those is doing, all the
Speaker 1: little stories that just, you know, raise the hate in
Speaker 1: your heart. Man.
Speaker 4: I terminated the ridiculous Green News Dam. I withdrew from
Speaker 4: the unfair Paris Climate Accord, which was costing US trillions
Speaker 4: of dollars that other countries were not pairing. I withdrew
Speaker 4: from the corrupt World Health Organization. And I also withdrew
Speaker 4: from the anti American UN Human Rights Council.
Speaker 1: These are this is here's the thing about Trump. He's
Speaker 1: done so much that each of these things that he's
Speaker 1: undone had to incrementally be done by Democrats and Republicans
Speaker 1: in a lot of cases over the years, right to
Speaker 1: get to the size of the budget for said department
Speaker 1: and the ability to control the spending with you know,
Speaker 1: insane decisions that ends up with some of the stuff
Speaker 1: that you know Doge was talking about, and so it's
Speaker 1: one thing just to have the president undoing them. It's
Speaker 1: another thing entirely. And this is why we're asking the
Speaker 1: congressman about this. If they're able to get that funding
Speaker 1: then reflected in budgets going forward, because there's so much
Speaker 1: stuff that Democrats will have to do should they regain
Speaker 1: the White House and control of Congress, and you can't
Speaker 1: redo it fast enough. If they can get it financially
Speaker 1: enshrined in the budget is not being something we're funding anymore.
Speaker 1: So I understand why they're so mad. It's an absolute decimation,
Speaker 1: and it's because most Republicans, any Republican up to this point,
Speaker 1: they didn't have the stones to do it that fast.
Speaker 1: And who knows, maybe it blows up in Trump's face
Speaker 1: at some point. The public is fickle, But for now,
Speaker 1: that's what you're seeing. You're seeing everything that your last
Speaker 1: two generations of congressional members have accomplished just getting to rased,
Speaker 1: and so I understand the island.
Speaker 4: We ended all of Biden's environmental restrictions that we're making
Speaker 4: our country far less safe and totally unaffordable. And importantly,
Speaker 4: we ended the last administrations in saying electric vehicle mandate,
Speaker 4: saving our auto workers and companies from economic constructures.
Speaker 1: All right, So lots more to get to audio wise
Speaker 1: with the Trump's speech last night. But first raced agents
Speaker 1: here and he has a new microphone.
Speaker 11: Well, I don't know if I'm excited. I just don't
Speaker 11: know if sounds fine.
Speaker 1: Ross, what are you think? Okay? Ross is the ultimate critic.
Speaker 11: Yeah, no, worse, no better? Right, Sometimes you can't even
Speaker 11: you can't even tell sometimes.
Speaker 2: In the headphone, in the headphones, that sounds very basy,
Speaker 2: but in the speakers and the monitors it sounds great.
Speaker 11: Okay, Yeah, Basie is Yeah, it's funny one of your cronies,
Speaker 11: believe it or not. I won't mention any names in
Speaker 11: market number one. I'd add the same setup since COVID. Right,
Speaker 11: And to make a long story short, out of nowhere,
Speaker 11: all of a sudden, they were like some somebody started saying, oh,
Speaker 11: it doesn't sound and so I was like, well, let
Speaker 11: me just replace the mic and see what happened. So
Speaker 11: we'll see no other complaints. But you know you always
Speaker 11: got to serve number one, right, What.
Speaker 1: Do you mean, oh, market number one? Yeah, well I
Speaker 1: didn't know you are.
Speaker 10: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so where you're talking about a little fun about that, But.
Speaker 11: It's all good. It's all good. So hopefully it's working
Speaker 11: okay because we've got some weather. They talk about the
Speaker 11: showers right now pushing through the Triangle Triad though to
Speaker 11: the west. Now, just seeing a severe thunderstorm warning pop
Speaker 11: up northwestern Yatkin County. That's for severe weather potentially winds
Speaker 11: to sixty miles per hour and maybe some small hell
Speaker 11: so you might see a little damage with that storm.
Speaker 11: Western Surrey, st Southeastern Wilson, northwestern Yatkin County until eight
Speaker 11: So Roaring Gap, near Buck Shoals, those are some of
Speaker 11: the areas that may be impact. At Swan Creek, Elkin
Speaker 11: another area that may be impact. And that storm's going
Speaker 11: north northeast, so you'll be next up near Mount area.
Speaker 11: Maybe northwestern Stokes County could get hit to and heavier
Speaker 11: rainfall and embedded thunderstorms coming through west to east here
Speaker 11: this morning, and occasionally on this line like we're seeing,
Speaker 11: we may get an isolated severe storm. There'll be some
Speaker 11: heavy rain and maybe even some stronger winds at times,
Speaker 11: and most of it should taper off this afternoon, but
Speaker 11: there is a wind advisory for non thunderstorm winds that
Speaker 11: could gust the forty plus miles per hour, and then
Speaker 11: we'll slowly start improving tonight, leaving us with sunshine tomorrow,
Speaker 11: a little mid fifties but a little breezy tomorrow, and
Speaker 11: then Friday probably the best of the next three as well.
Speaker 11: Thirdwood sixty partly sunny sky and the weekend up near
Speaker 11: seventy on Saturday and falling back to the fifties on Sunday.
Speaker 11: So case see everybody a little rough this morning. I
Speaker 11: think the worst of it's before noontime. Then we'll kind
Speaker 11: of focus on the non thunderstorm winds that could get
Speaker 11: gusty at times, but rain, maybe an occasional severe storm
Speaker 11: this morning going west to east, and then better weather,
Speaker 11: especially for Thursday and Friday.
Speaker 1: You gotta be easy for you today. Like half the
Speaker 1: radio guys I know are up in DC, for the
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, n radio road stuff for what's going on.
Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, nice recognition for Mark and those guys to
Speaker 11: us saw for what had happened with Helene and yeah,
Speaker 11: a lot a lot of gang up there. So I
Speaker 11: don't do that anymore. I used to, but you know,
Speaker 11: budget cuts years ago, and oh they used.
Speaker 1: Yeah radio that I have to be up.
Speaker 2: I have to point out that half of Ray's because
Speaker 2: y'all didn't hear this. Half of Ray's forecast was cut
Speaker 2: off by the the EAS Weather Service. Okay, so he
Speaker 2: was per warning.
Speaker 1: Yeah, sorry fer NADOs.
Speaker 11: Yeah yeah, geez, I'm talking new mic and everything and
Speaker 11: you cut me off.
Speaker 2: Thanks guys.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I didn't even get to Aaron Rodgers. Maybe going
Speaker 1: to the giants. We will do that in the next time. Gosh,
Speaker 1: all right, sure we got some thoughts. All right, thank you, sir,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. All right, there you go, So Ray and
Speaker 1: eaes for you because that's what you get, all right, perfect,
Speaker 1: all right, seven forty eight, Hang on, Anthony, we'll get
Speaker 1: your call and more audio to come, all right, So
Speaker 1: just just a little disconnect real quick and then we'll
Speaker 1: get back to the Trump audio stuff here because I
Speaker 1: thought this was just hilarious. So I saw this on
Speaker 1: Twitter yesterday. Motorists in Michigan were freaking out, man, and
Speaker 1: uh so they they posted the video and pictures to
Speaker 1: social media. They sent complaints, they called police, and eventually
Speaker 1: a the department. I guess the wildlife department up there.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's Game and Fish or Bureau
Speaker 1: of Line Manager, it doesn't matter, state Wildlife officials and
Speaker 1: eventually answered. So here's what they saw. You see a
Speaker 1: you know, Forard pickup truck. All right, I'll hang on,
Speaker 1: just seck somebody to send me a weird email. So
Speaker 1: it's a Ford pickup truck, you know, pretty standard Ford
Speaker 1: F one fifty new model, and sticking out of the
Speaker 1: back of it is a giraffe. Kind of It's like
Speaker 1: it's a half a giraffe, but you can't tell because
Speaker 1: the things all you see is the really long neck
Speaker 1: in the head of the giraffe and it's on a
Speaker 1: blanket and this guy's just driving down the road in it.
Speaker 1: So obviously, the logical assumption if you're on an interstate
Speaker 1: in Michigan somewhere is that some bubba saw himself a
Speaker 1: giraffe on the way to work and murdered the damn
Speaker 1: thing and is now openly parading I guess back to
Speaker 1: his home or something. This is what people thought, because
Speaker 1: people are dumb in reality, they and they issue the
Speaker 1: statement the guy who was hauling the giraffe as a taxidermist.
Speaker 1: The giraffe died of natural causes as a zoo and
Speaker 1: then this dude was hired to taxidermy it for a
Speaker 1: science in nature museum. It doesn't say which one, but
Speaker 1: one up in Michigan somewhere, and people saw it and
Speaker 1: he was hauling it literally to drop it off because
Speaker 1: he got done taxidermy in it. And so it's just
Speaker 1: from the shoulders up, as most mounts are for those
Speaker 1: who've seen a taxidermy critter, but when it's a giraffe,
Speaker 1: it's a pretty striking mount. But the guy didn't kill
Speaker 1: it's so why why how would you assume that would
Speaker 1: have ross? If you saw a giraffe on the way
Speaker 1: home today, like on White Street up there in wake Forest,
Speaker 1: Do you think you can just murder it, just just
Speaker 1: get out and you know, be like, oh, it's my
Speaker 1: eight finders keepers, I can go ahead and shoot this thing.
Speaker 1: Nobody thinks that and then once they told the moonbats
Speaker 1: what was up, like, hey, by the way, it's a
Speaker 1: taxidermy giraffe which died of natural causes. Then people got
Speaker 1: mad for them openly hauling it. So you just can't win,
Speaker 1: all right, Anthony, real quick, what's up?
Speaker 3: Hey? I watched the thing last night. I was watching
Speaker 3: all the pre game, and here there's talking about all
Speaker 3: his controversial picks, where they're only controversial because y'all don't
Speaker 3: like them. But the thing is I haven't heard enough
Speaker 3: of in this first part of his election is that
Speaker 3: spending didn't just get there from the Democrats and the Republicans.
Speaker 3: I picture them just standing behind Trump, pointing at the
Speaker 3: Democrats and making faces, you know, like you know, well
Speaker 3: your little brother would do when he went to his
Speaker 3: Franti's parents.
Speaker 10: You know.
Speaker 1: Last night was fat Tuesday in New Orleans, although with
Speaker 1: the very same weather that literally interrupted our weather forecast
Speaker 1: with Ray because the as is going bonkers in Ross's
Speaker 1: studio this morning. Ross is in every county now that
Speaker 1: basically doom and gloom is coming to I'm not sure
Speaker 1: what we're up to. It's getting close, though.
Speaker 2: Pretty much like nearly all of us are under a
Speaker 2: tornado watch.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know that is that is something you
Speaker 1: need to be paying attention to. We'll talk to Ray
Speaker 1: coming up here in about forty forty minutes or so,
Speaker 1: just kind of reiterate what you need to think about.
Speaker 1: And especially for our friends east of the Triad there
Speaker 1: for excuse me, west of the Triad going up towards
Speaker 1: Elkin or Roaring Gap, maybe some really heavy rain, which
Speaker 1: is not things that we need in the North Carolina
Speaker 1: Mountains right now. So we'll stay on that. We'll stay
Speaker 1: on the Trump stuff. But I do have a few
Speaker 1: other things. Although did you hear the chief of police
Speaker 1: in New Orleans yesterday? I thought this if you've never
Speaker 1: been to Marty Grass, if you've ever been to Marty Graus,
Speaker 1: I should say, you'll understand why. I thought this was
Speaker 1: kind of funny. But she was doing a press conference
Speaker 1: basically telling people, hey, if you come to the French
Speaker 1: Quarter today, because we know you're going to because it's
Speaker 1: Fat Tuesday and you got beads and you want to
Speaker 1: see boobs and alcohols here, there's a few things that
Speaker 1: are going to be different. And this was basically the
Speaker 1: threat to try to dissuade people from showing.
Speaker 10: Up and guess one of the most important infrastructures is
Speaker 10: your porta potties.
Speaker 1: So pete before you come to the prey, right, So
Speaker 1: when you have bad weather, you have potential heavy rains
Speaker 1: and winds. They decided not to put the porter potties.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you, because I've been to Marty Gras,
Speaker 1: people ain't using them. I mean, sure they're using them,
Speaker 1: but they're mostly using the street. In fact, it's incredibly
Speaker 1: common and it's such a problem that they it's one
Speaker 1: of the big things that they actually arrest people.
Speaker 2: Yeah, no, they really look out for that.
Speaker 1: And if you go in on a fat Tuesday, you're
Speaker 1: not getting adjudicated today. So if you got arrested for
Speaker 1: doing that yesterday, you're sitting there for a few days.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm pretty sure if you have enough beads they'll
Speaker 2: let you go.
Speaker 1: It's not true. It is not true. No, And it's
Speaker 1: hard man trying to find a bathroom. Sometimes you gotta like,
Speaker 1: you gotta be strategic about it. So yeah, but I
Speaker 1: don't think that I saw some photos it didn't look
Speaker 1: like you dissuaded any What if.
Speaker 2: You fall off the float into an alley and then
Speaker 2: pe yourself.
Speaker 1: Well, you know they're not running the floats right through
Speaker 1: the French Quarter, right, they have them overrun like canal
Speaker 1: just on the adjacent to Like when you're in the
Speaker 1: French Quarter, it's it's just other drunks that you're running over.
Speaker 1: So and then there's always at least one dude who's
Speaker 1: U Jesus carrying a giant cross up and down Bourbon
Speaker 1: Street literally all day every day? The one the other
Speaker 1: thing I noticed, but yeah, to who it gets? Uh,
Speaker 1: the smell is awful, quite awful, and that's just because
Speaker 1: porta potties weren't really in most people's plan, uh, regardless
Speaker 1: of what was going on. All right, Uh, let's see
Speaker 1: a couple other things here. Now I'm gonna get back
Speaker 1: to the Trump thing here in just a moment.
Speaker 2: Uh.
Speaker 1: Well look at this. Who could have seen this coming? Uh?
Speaker 1: Boo Boovaya saar Bova. I don't even know how to
Speaker 1: pronounce this name. B E b u v A I
Speaker 1: s A r bvsar Satiev. Al Right, he's a Russian dude. Well,
Speaker 1: he was a Russian dude. H. Three times Russian Olympic
Speaker 1: Freestyling wrestling champion. Uh, pretty high profile there. They love
Speaker 1: him some wrestling over in Russia, and uh, he was
Speaker 1: able to parlay his athletic success into getting himself a
Speaker 1: seat in the Russian parliament, specifically the United Russia Party,
Speaker 1: which is Vladimir Putin's party. So that's yeah, that's a
Speaker 1: pretty good team to be on. He had a whoopsie though.
Speaker 1: Apparently he fell out of a window. Now, if there's
Speaker 1: one thing that pro athletes are known for Ross backed
Speaker 1: me up on this, it's their lack of balance, right, notoriously,
Speaker 1: notoriously lack of balance for literally world class athletes. So
Speaker 1: apparently he got too close to a third floor window
Speaker 1: and just you know, fell out, So Meteor describing it
Speaker 1: as premature and tragic. Apparently he'd had a little falling
Speaker 1: out with Putin. I'm sure that's just coincidental, had nothing
Speaker 1: to do with it. So but yeah, I add that
Speaker 1: to the big list of oil tycoons, businessmen, various executives, oligarchs,
Speaker 1: party leaders, military individuals. One of the COVID doctor ladies.
Speaker 1: Didn't she fall out of a window? All with very
Speaker 1: unfortunate window accidents, So where did it happen? It didn't
Speaker 1: happen in Russia though, well, anyway, he fell out of
Speaker 1: a window, So just to add that to the list.
Speaker 1: All right, let me get back to the Trump stuff here.
Speaker 1: Always curious when we see something like that too, you know,
Speaker 1: see if the mystery will ever be solved. So again,
Speaker 1: what you had yesterday is you had a nearly two
Speaker 1: hour speech and you had Trump literally spend like two
Speaker 1: three minutes on one issue going to the next one,
Speaker 1: and he went through like fifty of these and so
Speaker 1: trying to respond to that and figured out what you're
Speaker 1: going to do from an opposition standpoint, like they didn't
Speaker 1: have a plan for it other than some noisemakers, some
Speaker 1: interruptions which got Al Green, the congressman from Texas, literally
Speaker 1: removed from the chamber. And then he just had those
Speaker 1: awkward moments where it's like he can't even applaud a
Speaker 1: thirteen year old kid who's beaten cancer, who was given
Speaker 1: six months to live and is now six years into
Speaker 1: this And it was an absolute p R debacle, whereas
Speaker 1: Trump just sat up there and just kept talking about
Speaker 1: all the same stuff he's been talking about.
Speaker 4: I renamed the Gulf of Mexico the Gulf of America,
Speaker 4: and likewise I renamed for a great president. William McKinley,
Speaker 4: Mount McKinley again, could you get it?
Speaker 1: Was the thing, this holy thing. Yeah, well over the
Speaker 1: whole ap thing that just irritated me the most. Where
Speaker 1: aps like, we're not going to call it the Gulf
Speaker 1: of America. And it was pointed out that when Barack
Speaker 1: Obama unilaterally renamed McKinley Denali, they immediately snapped it into
Speaker 1: their style guide. So and of course he was going
Speaker 1: to make a point of it. One of the things
Speaker 1: I did see some of the Democrat pundits say that
Speaker 1: they was going to be kind of their core issue
Speaker 1: was Trump's attack on DEI and transgender issues, right, which
Speaker 1: they said was going to be a hallmark of this,
Speaker 1: and it looked it definitely was something they talked about, right. Remember,
Speaker 1: one of the special guests was a young woman from
Speaker 1: North Carolina who suffered a traumatic brain injury when she
Speaker 1: had a volleyball spiked into her head by a biological
Speaker 1: male she was competing against. And so now you got
Speaker 1: to figure out how you're going to go, and you're
Speaker 1: going to attack literally a high school girl.
Speaker 4: Man, We've entered the tyranny of so called diversity equity
Speaker 4: and inclusion policies all across the entire federal government and
Speaker 4: indeed the private sector at our military.
Speaker 5: And our country will be worked no longer.
Speaker 1: Again, it's just one thick hit after hit after hit.
Speaker 1: It's like a time Life album. There's one after another
Speaker 1: after another. And yes, he did get into it.
Speaker 4: Three years ago, Peyton McNabb was an all star high
Speaker 4: school athlete, one of the best, preparing for a future
Speaker 4: in college sports. But when her girl's volleyball match was
Speaker 4: invaded by a male, he smashed the ball so hard
Speaker 4: in Peyton's face, causing traumatic brain injury, partially paralyzing her
Speaker 4: right side and ending her athletic career. It was a
Speaker 4: shot like she's never seen before. She's never seen anything
Speaker 4: like it. Peyton is here tonight in the gallery and Peyton.
Speaker 4: From now on, schools will kick the men off the
Speaker 4: girls team, or they will lose all federal funding.
Speaker 1: And I saw yesday, you know, Wake County had a
Speaker 1: school board meeting and they were talking about this stuff
Speaker 1: like they have a choice, and I guess maybe they do.
Speaker 1: They just don't get any federal funds. I don't know
Speaker 1: how that works out for you. But again, this is
Speaker 1: why the speech was polling because on that issue, even
Speaker 1: though all the Democrats senators expressly rejected even having a
Speaker 1: cloture vote to take a vote on this issue, the
Speaker 1: fact is that it pulls in the sixtieth percentile, and
Speaker 1: it pulls positively with Democrats because it has been identified
Speaker 1: as a bridge too far. And so sitting there and
Speaker 1: rolling your eyes and figuring out how you're going to
Speaker 1: demonize a kid with cancer or a girl with a
Speaker 1: traumatic brain injury, and you think that that's going to
Speaker 1: be a successful play yesterday just just baffling to me.
Speaker 1: You're better off screaming about the eggs.
Speaker 4: Although he did talk, as you know, we inherited from
Speaker 4: the last administration an economic catastrophe and an inflation nightmare.
Speaker 4: Their policies drove up energy prices, pushed up grocery costs,
Speaker 4: and drove the necessities of life out of reach for
Speaker 4: millions and millions of Americans had.
Speaker 1: Never had anything like it.
Speaker 4: We suffered the worst inflation in forty eight years. But
Speaker 4: perhaps even in the history of our country, they're not sure.
Speaker 4: As President, I'm fighting every day to reverse this damage
Speaker 4: and make America affordable again.
Speaker 6: Joe Biden, especially let the price of eggs get out
Speaker 6: of control, the egg.
Speaker 2: Control.
Speaker 1: Dude. He's such a troll, man, he's such a troll.
Speaker 1: I'm here for it, don't get me wrong, but he's
Speaker 1: such a troll. And I don't know if he saw.
Speaker 1: He's literally looking right over at the Democrats when he
Speaker 1: said that, because that's their thing. They're running around the
Speaker 1: egg prices thing. Oh it's been that way for what
Speaker 1: you know, two weeks after he took the oath of office.
Speaker 1: And that was part of that stupid video that they
Speaker 1: filmed yesterday where twenty five different senators sat down and
Speaker 1: said the same thing, showing no unique thought or individualism,
Speaker 1: just a script in the same seated position, with the
Speaker 1: same little fluffy mic in front of him, so much
Speaker 1: so that you can just put him side by side
Speaker 1: that they released prior to the speed.
Speaker 4: I will immediately bring prices down starting on Watch's heart.
Speaker 1: Is getting worse. It's just so eerie and creepy, the
Speaker 1: whole lot of it.
Speaker 2: Man.
Speaker 1: And yet that's what we saw yesterday. All right, a
Speaker 1: couple other things. We'll get some more audio here in
Speaker 1: just a moment. I never thought I would have to
Speaker 1: report this, but we're in this timeline, So let's do this.
Speaker 1: There's a report out that the guy who killed the
Speaker 1: healthcare ceo Luigi, And again I don't even know, I
Speaker 1: don't even know where the whether this this level of
Speaker 1: validity is appropriate to end up being in reports, but
Speaker 1: I'll at least put it out there. I hope it's
Speaker 1: not true because it's just so weird. So there's a
Speaker 1: report out that that Luigi dude may have filmed twenty
Speaker 1: porn movies before he died, obviously, or not before he died,
Speaker 1: before he was arrested, before before the murder. I should say,
Speaker 1: I have a quiet wasn't the whole thing? This dude's
Speaker 1: back was so jacked up that he couldn't do stuff,
Speaker 1: even though we found out it wasn't necessarily that particular
Speaker 1: healthcare system. How how do you how do you know
Speaker 1: any of those videos?
Speaker 2: It was specifically he was upset that he couldn't be
Speaker 2: sexually active. So were the police made before the back injury?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know what is going on.
Speaker 1: I I hate when things I predicted are coming true.
Speaker 1: Or I just said, like everyone's saying every like a
Speaker 1: component for all the news stories and politics is going
Speaker 1: to be somebody's nudes, but like we're quickly getting there.
Speaker 1: And what's even creepier is you have all these women
Speaker 1: online like, oh, what's the link? You go look at that?
Speaker 1: So which I guess I'm a little less creeped out
Speaker 1: because like people looked at those Casey Anthony photos when
Speaker 1: they came out, and if you guys knew there were
Speaker 1: Casey Anthony photo, don't don't, No, the time has passed
Speaker 1: that would be inappropriate. But like we're just we're just
Speaker 1: so weird, man. But yeah, this like belies the whole
Speaker 1: thing because Ross is right, Like one of his main
Speaker 1: beefs was not only do I have a back injury,
Speaker 1: but they've been so unsuccessful in treating it, Like I
Speaker 1: can't even carouse anymore.
Speaker 2: It's like, oh my back hurts, can't make porn, gunna
Speaker 2: murder ceo. Yeah, it's I guess that's the pathway here.
Speaker 1: So I don't know, I'll let this, I'll let this
Speaker 1: story shake out a little more before I necessarily believe
Speaker 1: it all the way. But holy hell, all right, coming
Speaker 1: up on the show The Worst Parents Ever, I don't know.
Speaker 1: I mean, we've had some pretty bad ones. We've had
Speaker 1: parents who've tried to sell their kids for six packs
Speaker 1: of beer and math and stuff like that, or ten dollars.
Speaker 1: That happened locally. But now these are Disney adults, Man,
Speaker 1: these are Disney. This story to Rob Whiteside by the way,
Speaker 1: yes say, I'm like, what is wrong with your people?
Speaker 1: And He's just like, man, you got to you gotta
Speaker 1: do what you gotta do.
Speaker 2: So I would love to hear I would love to
Speaker 2: hear Rob's perspective on that, because he's he he's like
Speaker 2: our corporate computer dude. And yeah, he's like one of
Speaker 2: the biggest Disney adults I know, Like he's at Disney
Speaker 2: like every other weekend.
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what he said because I sent him
Speaker 1: the email and he sent sent something back. It was
Speaker 1: kind of dismissive here, But then I started thinking about
Speaker 1: what these parents are accused of doing, and I realized
Speaker 1: maybe they just didn't want to get the stroller stolen. Right,
Speaker 1: You just leave the stroller there and maybe somebody steals it.
Speaker 1: I mean, I know it's Disney, but that's got to
Speaker 1: be a concern there.
Speaker 2: So have you ever seen the Disney stroller parking lot,
Speaker 2: like where you put your strollers. It's insane.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, I literally was going to tap
Speaker 1: your brain on this because I know nothing about it.
Speaker 1: I just know that this probably isn't a good idea.
Speaker 1: So we'll tell you what the parents were up to,
Speaker 1: and we'll get through more of the Trump's speech from
Speaker 1: last night. We've got lots more audio to get to,
Speaker 1: So busy back half of this hour coming up phone
Speaker 1: number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
Speaker 1: four back in just a few minutes. These are always fine,
Speaker 1: right twenty twelve y two? K any of the other
Speaker 1: hundreds that I'm missing out on? T remember when was
Speaker 1: the last time we had one of these where we're
Speaker 1: kind of holding our breath to see if it all ended.
Speaker 1: It's been a while, hasn't It been probably a few years.
Speaker 1: So I guess there's some really old book that the
Speaker 1: Vatican has, because that's how these things start. The Prophecy
Speaker 1: of the Popes, a twelfth century book contains a series
Speaker 1: of Latin phrases believed to describe, Oh, this is the
Speaker 1: one where the next pope's the last pope. That's what
Speaker 1: this is, all right? So do we have do we
Speaker 1: have an actual end date?
Speaker 2: Ross?
Speaker 1: When do you want the meteor to come, do you
Speaker 1: have asap? You want a few years? Get things lined out?
Speaker 2: I would probably prefer a few years. I want the
Speaker 2: bills to win first.
Speaker 1: Oh that's fair, that's fair. Okay, Well, according to this,
Speaker 1: it'll be in twenty twenty seven, so that's enough time
Speaker 1: for you guys to win, right, that's enough time for
Speaker 1: you guys to win and us to win.
Speaker 2: Yes, that's more than fair.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think if we accomplish those two things were good, right.
Speaker 2: I mean, what's there what's left to live for after that?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Oh, got those for us.
Speaker 2: I know there's a big one coming, like a prophecy
Speaker 2: in twenty thirty two where there's supposed to be some
Speaker 2: sort of alien invasion or something.
Speaker 1: Well, if the first but the thing happens is twenty
Speaker 1: twenty seven, then it will negate the.
Speaker 2: Three right, so one of them isn't true.
Speaker 1: That is so weird.
Speaker 2: There was a predicted alien invasion a few months back
Speaker 2: as well.
Speaker 1: Oh did I remember?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 1: If I was asking, I didn't realize I missed one.
Speaker 1: So all right, So some people are putting pushing back,
Speaker 1: saying that it's probably not going to end then, so
Speaker 1: maybe uh, Ross's one is true. I don't know, all right,
Speaker 1: check this out bringing Disney adults men. So, so in
Speaker 1: in Los Angeles, this is Disneyland technically where this happened.
Speaker 1: Some parkovers became a little concerned after they noticed a
Speaker 1: stroller that was it was kind of tucked into this
Speaker 1: I don't want to say the shade, but away from stuff,
Speaker 1: kind of pinned between a building and a column, and
Speaker 1: then it had a blanket over the top of it. Well,
Speaker 1: they started seeing the blanket move, and so they go
Speaker 1: over and they're like, and there's a baby in there.
Speaker 1: Holy the cow, there's a baby where the parents And
Speaker 1: it was then that I guess the folks there who
Speaker 1: started filming realized that the parents had literally positioned the
Speaker 1: stroller there, covered the baby, and then went into a ride,
Speaker 1: just leaving the baby there, which I don't I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's protocol up at Disney. I'm not sure
Speaker 1: how that works. I would assume strollers are a problem.
Speaker 2: I don't say problem, but so so when you go there,
Speaker 2: every section of the park League, every different land has
Speaker 2: its own sort of like parking lot for strollers. So
Speaker 2: if you go to Tomorrowland, you'll see like a portion
Speaker 2: of tomorrow Land is set aside and it's just like
Speaker 2: a big parking park of strollers. And the first time
Speaker 2: we went there, I remember we went to the strolling
Speaker 2: parking lot whatever you call it. Near It's a small world.
Speaker 2: There's one there and I told Mark them, so what
Speaker 2: do we just we just leave our stroller. Here's like
Speaker 2: a two hundred dollars stroller.
Speaker 3: Whatever.
Speaker 2: There's there's no ticketing system, there's no way to market,
Speaker 2: there's no pass, there's no you know, they don't give
Speaker 2: you some sort of thing you scan or anything. You
Speaker 2: just leave it there and you walk away and you
Speaker 2: come back and get it later. And sometimes it's really
Speaker 2: hard to find your stroller because like I said, there's dude,
Speaker 2: there's like hundreds of strollers and.
Speaker 1: People are moving them around. I'm sure when they're putting
Speaker 1: new ones. They do have not like it's not like
Speaker 1: a coach check for strollers. You're kind of on your own.
Speaker 2: Yeah, they do have an attendant, if I'm remembering correctly,
Speaker 2: who will was kind of like, you know, make space
Speaker 2: for them or organize them. But there's no like it's
Speaker 2: just you drop it off and you pick it up.
Speaker 2: There's nothing well, unless your stroller gets stolen.
Speaker 9: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I was thinking about that though, because like, these are
Speaker 2: expensive strollers. But then someone would have to pay for parking,
Speaker 2: and then they'd have to go in the monorail or
Speaker 2: the if it's Disney World, right, the ferry, and then
Speaker 2: you'd have to wait in the line to get in
Speaker 2: and get padded down, and then you'd have to walk
Speaker 2: to that part of the park. You'd have to find
Speaker 2: a stroller you want, then you'd have to lug it
Speaker 2: all the way back. So and to get in the
Speaker 2: park is like super expensive. It probably wouldn't be cost
Speaker 2: effective or efficient to steal a stroller and try to
Speaker 2: make money that way.
Speaker 1: But if you want to keep people stealing it, leave
Speaker 1: a baby in right, because people are like, ah, like
Speaker 1: I can't. I was going to steal your car, but
Speaker 1: I see your toddlers, uh buckled in the back. Now,
Speaker 1: I'm not going to do that. That's too it would
Speaker 1: seem a natural deterrent.
Speaker 2: That's just completely crazy when it comes to the parents,
Speaker 2: because the parents are like, oh, we want to go
Speaker 2: on Space Mountain or whatever.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, the ride was and half the time
Speaker 1: we don't get to know this. So the ride was
Speaker 1: the Guardians of the Galaxy ride. Okay, that's one of
Speaker 1: the big ones.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a new one.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you gotta be one hundred and two centimeters
Speaker 1: to ride it. So obviously a baby in a stroller
Speaker 1: camp and.
Speaker 2: They're like, oh, we're at Disneyland and it's super safe
Speaker 2: because it's you know, for kids and stuff. So we'll
Speaker 2: leave the baby in the stroller. But have you seen
Speaker 2: the news when it comes to people busted for being
Speaker 2: pedophiles that work at Disney.
Speaker 1: Every time the sheriff of the county there in Orlando
Speaker 1: does one of those big usually you know, they do
Speaker 1: one of those big petos sweep.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, we arrested thirty today.
Speaker 1: Always a Disney employee in there, always. So is there
Speaker 1: a ride that's good enough to abandon your baby to
Speaker 1: get on?
Speaker 3: Though?
Speaker 2: People Mover?
Speaker 1: Is there really a ride that's good You can bring
Speaker 1: a baby on the people Mover? I mean you can, yes,
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, but maybe you don't want it.
Speaker 1: Maybe you want a nice, quiet people mover experience. You know,
Speaker 1: I'm not doing roller coasts or so I'll do the
Speaker 1: people Mover all day. Just sit down.
Speaker 2: Yeahm right there.
Speaker 1: Uh, all right. Yeah, so then people started tweeting about
Speaker 1: seeing the parents go in there and all of that.
Speaker 1: Let me and hold on, I look this up. Guardians
Speaker 1: of the Galaxy has one hundred and two centimeter height requirement. However,
Speaker 1: they do offer the quote, what is the writer switch option?
Speaker 1: What is the writer switch option?
Speaker 4: Is that?
Speaker 1: Is that a thing? You know what that is? It
Speaker 1: just says for guests with children too small? So basically
Speaker 1: they get a half asked version of the ride. Well
Speaker 1: that's just rob I don't know what that is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so you get a kind of ride just because you
Speaker 1: have a baby. That's not fair. Nah, get your kid
Speaker 1: over there with the blanket over it? Which does it
Speaker 1: at all trap heat during a nice sunny day? You
Speaker 1: absolute lunatics? So yeah, yeah, it's probably probably not all right?
Speaker 1: Let me uh oh look at this all right? Is
Speaker 1: Racetagic ready to go? I got some serious weather coming in.
Speaker 1: I'm just looking at this. Would you check and see
Speaker 1: if he's already there? All right, because now we got
Speaker 1: to forsyfe and some other stuff. All right, we're going
Speaker 1: to talk to Ray here in just a moment. Sorry
Speaker 1: to flip the gear, serious there, he just sent Ray
Speaker 1: never sends me emails, so all right, well let me
Speaker 1: in my year, let me know when he's there. Disney
Speaker 1: has not publicly addressed the video, and it's unclear actually
Speaker 1: what happened. I you know, I'm assuming the parents came back, right,
Speaker 1: and now you've got all the people standing around videoing
Speaker 1: this thing that are just waiting to scold the parents.
Speaker 1: So actually, surprise, there's not video of a bunch of
Speaker 1: angry do gooders at Disney screaming at the parents. By
Speaker 1: the way, I'm not defending the parents. That's absolute lunacy
Speaker 1: to just abandon your kid there because you really want
Speaker 1: to go on the ride. But either way, man, oh
Speaker 1: and here we go. Yeah, so children in the age
Speaker 1: of seven must become blah blah blah. Al right, so
Speaker 1: I'll never go on this ride, so I don't need
Speaker 1: to know. All right, raced things are getting little crazy man,
Speaker 1: so yeah, uh, sanity for sight care stuff now, so
Speaker 1: let's get into it.
Speaker 9: What do we got.
Speaker 11: It's not that it's great news, but at least the
Speaker 11: tornado warning for Forsyth County has now been changed over
Speaker 11: to a severe thunderstorm warning, so either way, dangerous storms
Speaker 11: continued to come through and now into Rockingham County. Uh,
Speaker 11: they've extended a severe thunderstorm warning and now they've even
Speaker 11: just extended it into Guildford County too, so they're try
Speaker 11: it getting hit pretty hard right now with severe weather.
Speaker 11: If you are in any of those areas in and
Speaker 11: around let's say, uh, High Point, Winston Salem down to Thomasville,
Speaker 11: and even areas further south of that. That's where the
Speaker 11: line is right now, pushing into Randolph County and continuing
Speaker 11: to head on off toward the east Alamantier next eventually
Speaker 11: Chathaman across across Triangle here over the next hour too,
Speaker 11: so be prepared. There is a tornado watch now, so
Speaker 11: on this line casey, we may see some of these
Speaker 11: storms spin up and not only go potentially severe with
Speaker 11: winds to sixty, but there may be some isolated tornado
Speaker 11: warnings as we've seen already this morning. Just another tornado
Speaker 11: warning is pop now. That's Reunion County down south southwest
Speaker 11: into Piedmont. So that storm also near Lake Park, moving
Speaker 11: pretty quickly at about fifty five miles per hour, so
Speaker 11: be ready. Over the next couple of hours, already in
Speaker 11: the triad heading eastward the triangle, some dangerous weather on
Speaker 11: the way. There's also wind advisory maam, some gusty winds
Speaker 11: even outside of storms, potentially to forty plus miles an hour.
Speaker 11: The good news, though, I think the storm threat ends
Speaker 11: around lunchtime earlier to the west, a little bit later
Speaker 11: to the east of the triangle, and then sudd'll be
Speaker 11: back with lit mid fifties tomorrow, near sixty Friday, and
Speaker 11: then over the weekend we're near in seventy degrees Saturday,
Speaker 11: and then cool off a little bit Sunday. So some
Speaker 11: dangerous weather here. Multiple warnings actually lining up from southwest
Speaker 11: Virginia right on down towards South Carolina near the Triad.
Speaker 11: Most of them are through and down near Charlotte. Most
Speaker 11: of these are severe thunderstorm warnings, but occasionally, like we're seeing,
Speaker 11: we do have some isolated tornado warnings too, So you
Speaker 11: need to take action as these storms pushed out off
Speaker 11: toward the east.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well there we go. So basically if
Speaker 1: you can hear the sound of our voice was probably
Speaker 1: going on for you. All right, all right, thank you,
Speaker 1: chat with you tomorrow, appreciate it. There you go round
Speaker 1: to Pagic and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg
Speaker 1: News Next.
Speaker 2: Well Morning, Casey.
Speaker 12: Wall Street is coming off its worst two day slump
Speaker 12: since December. The futures have given up most of their
Speaker 12: earlier gains. Right now, the S and P futures are
Speaker 12: up three points, Nasdaq futures are up forty four, the
Speaker 12: Dow futures are down fourteen. Private employers slowed the pace
Speaker 12: of hiring last month. According to ADP, companies added just
Speaker 12: seventy seven thousand workers to pay rolls in February. That
Speaker 12: fell far short of Wall Street expectations. Investors and economists
Speaker 12: thought we'd be hearing that about one hundred forty thousand
Speaker 12: jobs were created. A lot of would be home buyers
Speaker 12: and current homeowners came off the sidelines when mortgage interest
Speaker 12: rates used last week. Mortgage bankers report total application volume
Speaker 12: increase more than twenty percent for the week as the
Speaker 12: average interest rate and a thirty year fixed strate home
Speaker 12: loan ticked down to six point seventy three percent. Pay
Speaker 12: television providers keep waiting for cord cutting to bottom out,
Speaker 12: but that has not happened yet. Bloomberg Intelligence projects more
Speaker 12: than five million subscribers will cut the cord this year.
Speaker 12: Eroding the total number by another eight percent. The industry
Speaker 12: has lost nearly thirty five million users since twenty fifteen.
Speaker 12: Whalt Disney is cutting jobs at ABC and its other
Speaker 12: entertainment television networks, and internal memo indicates about two hundred employees,
Speaker 12: most of them based here in New York, will be
Speaker 12: getting the bad news today. Apples, hoping to keep demand
Speaker 12: for its tablets growing, the company introduced new souped up
Speaker 12: models of its iPad air device. They're powered by faster chips,
Speaker 12: and there are eleven inch and thirteen inch versions. Retro
Speaker 12: sneakers are in demand. They've given Adidas a nice boost.
Speaker 12: The German sportswear brand has boosted its profit outlook for
Speaker 12: the year and said it will expand its line of
Speaker 12: the hot selling footwear. In casey have to mention here
Speaker 12: that we're reporting today from the Fidelity Bloomberg Business Desk.
Speaker 12: I hope you like the surroundings here.
Speaker 1: In fact, is it new? Is it different? Are you
Speaker 1: in some other place or.
Speaker 12: A virtual a virtual difference place?
Speaker 1: All right, all right, thank you very much. Do appreciate it. Jeff, okay,
Speaker 1: you too, take care there you go. Oh science, all right,
Speaker 1: I ad a couple of science stories here, I'm I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know if I'm buying this. So,
Speaker 1: but this dude is This is Jeremiah Colson's professor at
Speaker 1: to Oxford and in fact is considered one of the
Speaker 1: leading publishers of peer reviewed articles for having to do
Speaker 1: with extraterrestrials. He is a theoretical biologist on top of things.
Speaker 1: So he's speculating what aliens may look like based on
Speaker 1: you know, science that's out there, So take it for
Speaker 1: what it's worth. Ross I was reading this. Do you
Speaker 1: know what he believes is the most likely body type
Speaker 1: of intelligent life in the universe that could potentially come
Speaker 1: visit us. And by the way, he doesn't think it's
Speaker 1: gonna go well, but do you know what they He
Speaker 1: thinks they most likely look like I.
Speaker 2: Like to think that they're like human form, like we
Speaker 2: wouldn't even know.
Speaker 1: Okay, you got a little human form, the grays. Those
Speaker 1: are pretty popular, right, that style that's its own thing. Yeah,
Speaker 1: some of the lizard people, but no, none of those things.
Speaker 1: According to Professor Coulson, he says the most likely the
Speaker 1: most likely scenario is they look like Jaba, the hut
Speaker 1: I don't like that.
Speaker 2: See, I'm not afraid of that.
Speaker 1: You're not afraid that dude just put everyone in carbon,
Speaker 1: know what I mean.
Speaker 2: It's amazing he coming with like all of his followers
Speaker 2: or is it just like Jaba, because if it's him,
Speaker 2: he's like fat, lazy and get away from that dude.
Speaker 2: I can run run away from him.
Speaker 1: Apparently not. How does everyone get dumped into that giant thing.
Speaker 2: Because of his followers. He sits there and just he's
Speaker 2: fed whatever it is, he eats it.
Speaker 1: So you you you you're gonna you can't body shame
Speaker 1: him body positivity.
Speaker 2: Man, No, that's the thing of the past. Calling fat
Speaker 2: people fat is back.
Speaker 1: But no, no, no, they're gonna give put him in
Speaker 1: a Dove commercial.
Speaker 2: Even Lizzo is like, no, I was fat. Oh okay,
Speaker 2: so we're not. We're done with that.
Speaker 1: Although here's where it gets more terrifying. Uh when when
Speaker 1: he goes deeper he called he said that they are
Speaker 1: likely to be bloated, slow moving blobs. However, however, uh,
Speaker 1: don't sleep on him because he also theorizes that they
Speaker 1: use mechanical apparatus them.
Speaker 2: So it's Mecca, that's mech job of the Hut that's different.
Speaker 2: So they're bringing like tech with them.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well obviously if they're coming here, they would need tech, right,
Speaker 1: you'd have tech to get here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so are you are you.
Speaker 1: Concerned about mecha job of the Hut that might be different?
Speaker 2: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, I think everyone's going in the carbonac there.
Speaker 1: So what a weird what a weird thing to be
Speaker 1: as leading theory. I'm not even following really as logic
Speaker 1: on some of this, uh said. The professor says, Well,
Speaker 1: most people would envision a sexy seven foot blue Amazonian.
Speaker 1: Well not necessarily. I think you just watched Avatar too
Speaker 1: many times, Sarah.
Speaker 2: I'm not really on that, but I didn't have Job
Speaker 2: of the Hut on a Bengo cra It's so weird
Speaker 2: to think that they'd be like giant blobs like floating
Speaker 2: in space, or like just morbidly obese aliens, like is
Speaker 2: it like Wally where they were?
Speaker 1: What he's talking about is basically, if there's a society
Speaker 1: that lives in space just because of what we know
Speaker 1: that space does to like human bones, right.
Speaker 2: I was gonna say, or it's sort of like I
Speaker 2: don't know if you ever saw that because you know
Speaker 2: you don't have kids, but like the Disney movie Wally,
Speaker 2: where yeah, there is space so long they sort of
Speaker 2: like become really super fat and hanging out in their
Speaker 2: space chairs all day.
Speaker 1: Yeah. So really, Americans are just at the forefront of
Speaker 1: future space travel right over at the Old Country Buffet.
Speaker 1: The ones I see over there, like those are just
Speaker 1: astronauts waiting to happen. They're ready to go. Yeah, this
Speaker 1: dude's all in on the They're all fat blobs there,
Speaker 1: so oh man, that's gonna suck like cub popping out
Speaker 1: of there, especially with the mechanical side of it and
Speaker 1: real quickly. Scientists have genetically engineered mice with wooly mammoths,
Speaker 1: but they did it the wrong way. I wanted a
Speaker 1: mouse the size of a wooly mammoth, but instead they
Speaker 1: just they like geo splice the hair. So now you
Speaker 1: have these mice that have wooly mammoth hair and look
Speaker 1: metal
