Speaker 1: You want to get on the show this morning. That
Speaker 1: is uh, that is how we'll do it. Coming up.
Speaker 1: I told you this week is gonna be just crazy
Speaker 1: with all the names getting thrown out, so we will.
Speaker 1: We'll give you a little round up with some of
Speaker 1: the other folks who will likely serve in the Trump administration.
Speaker 1: Obviously there's gonna be Senate confirmation for some of these folks. Yes,
Speaker 1: I'm aware the Republicans are going to control that, but
Speaker 1: you get a you know, you get like a gotta
Speaker 1: Ran Paul and uh, maybe one or two other people,
Speaker 1: and a lot of influence can be flexed. Mansion might
Speaker 1: even play into that, so uh, we'll get there. But
Speaker 1: the one that is obviously the big one is who
Speaker 1: it who Trump wants for Secretary of State. And I'm
Speaker 1: just curious how you're all feeling about that, Lil Marco
Speaker 1: and I I know this is going to irritate some
Speaker 1: of you, Okay, and that's that's fine. We're going to
Speaker 1: be adults and we can go and have that conversation.
Speaker 1: This isn't me judging whether I think Marco. I'll give
Speaker 1: you my opinion on it, but but I just when
Speaker 1: I set this up, whether Marco Rubio is going to
Speaker 1: be a good fit as Secretary of State. It's the oppo, right,
Speaker 1: So anyone who is out dealing on the world stage
Speaker 1: on behalf of the United States. And it doesn't matter
Speaker 1: whether you serve in a consulate somewhere, if you have
Speaker 1: a governmental facing position meaning you and probably even if
Speaker 1: you don't. Going back to the sheer dossiers that we
Speaker 1: saw that even in Africa. Al Shabab remember when we
Speaker 1: like we went in and rated their headquarters there in
Speaker 1: Somalia and they found business records that literally look like
Speaker 1: the HR department where you work. They'd be like, ah,
Speaker 1: Muhammad didn't seem very excited to blow himself up. We'll
Speaker 1: talk about that in his next review. Of course that's
Speaker 1: not coming right. It was just it was If it
Speaker 1: wasn't so damn serious, it would have been funny. All right,
Speaker 1: It's a little funny because they just because there was
Speaker 1: also like HR conflict resolution. I want you to think
Speaker 1: about that. This is one of my favorite stories I
Speaker 1: ever did. I don't have it all in front of me,
Speaker 1: but I remember deep diving it for a whole show.
Speaker 1: Like in the same way that you have a petty
Speaker 1: squabble and you take it to your superiors. They would
Speaker 1: do that and then they would document it. And by
Speaker 1: the way, I have to assume that would be the
Speaker 1: most dangerous office setting to steal your coworkers' lunches. Can
Speaker 1: we agree on this? Like, you know, you go into
Speaker 1: the break room to al shabab hq, right, and you
Speaker 1: know Abdul bad himself. Oh, look at that. His wife
Speaker 1: made him a nice sandwich and his otherwise made him
Speaker 1: another nice sandwich, and then his other wife threw it
Speaker 1: a drink in there, right, and you're thieving that thing.
Speaker 1: You don't think Abdul's going to get some ideas as
Speaker 1: to how he might be able to push back on
Speaker 1: your thievery. I'm telling you it's a minefield, absolute minefield.
Speaker 1: They had dossier's on US consulate members, not just for
Speaker 1: the purpose of murdering them in the same way that
Speaker 1: Russia takes compromat and all that. And I'm not saying
Speaker 1: that's where we're going with Marco Rubio. We're going to
Speaker 1: the machismost side of this, okay, And that is when
Speaker 1: they look up little Marco and this isn't a height thing.
Speaker 1: So as they say on the Internet, all you short kings,
Speaker 1: Calm down. It's the idea that the commander in chief
Speaker 1: of the United States called you little Marco. Do you
Speaker 1: understand what I'm asking in an administration and a philosophy
Speaker 1: that is born of strength. Right, Hey, we're America. Don't
Speaker 1: f with us. You know, we hit one button and
Speaker 1: it defeats your whole military and we are on lunch
Speaker 1: while we're doing it. You know that kind of attitude?
Speaker 2: Is it?
Speaker 1: Do you think that when Marco Rubio then has to
Speaker 1: go in front of and then just insert whatever dictatorial
Speaker 1: piece of crap, citizen murdering despot you want to think of,
Speaker 1: when they have to do something with them and they
Speaker 1: look up all the little Marco stuff. Do you think
Speaker 1: that that period of the relationship between Marco Rubio and
Speaker 1: now you can say it was a primary and it's
Speaker 1: politics and all that. And what's crazy is people like
Speaker 1: the same insane crap that we say in political uh
Speaker 1: uh political contests where like it just go. It's where
Speaker 1: they'll be like your father helped try to kill JFK. Right,
Speaker 1: and then they're hugging it out and endorsing each other.
Speaker 1: That is not purely an American thing, and it absolutely
Speaker 1: happens elsewhere. You should be aware of that. I read
Speaker 1: that what's the name of the book. It was the
Speaker 1: same guy who did Primary Colors wrote uh maybe I
Speaker 1: think maybe he co authored it. But basically they were
Speaker 1: talking about, uh, how like the dirty tricks they play
Speaker 1: in other stuff. And it's weird because like in the
Speaker 1: British Parliament they say all the same stuff. But like
Speaker 1: you ever watched the British Parliament work, it's it's it's
Speaker 1: I don't want to say it's controlled chaos. I don't
Speaker 1: know what that is. It's funny. It's funny to watch
Speaker 1: them all scream at each other and r R and
Speaker 1: bang on stuff and and then they have the giant
Speaker 1: you know, I have the giant weapon re sitting around
Speaker 1: the table there. I'm sorry, some British listeners gonna get back.
Speaker 1: I'm aware that it's not just a weapon. It's a
Speaker 1: cool weapon. But my point is, I understand all that
Speaker 1: stuff happens. Do you think it undermines the ability of
Speaker 1: Marco Rubio if they're like this guy's boss calls him
Speaker 1: little Marco. That adorable And I don't know the answer
Speaker 1: to that, but I have somebody that we're gonna ask
Speaker 1: we have a Senator Ted Bud joining us because there's
Speaker 1: two things going on. That's eighto five, right, Ross, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: just my phone closed from your text here. Yeah, eight
Speaker 1: o five, So Ted Budd senator, he'll join us eight
Speaker 1: o five. So that's one we're gonna talk about some
Speaker 1: of these appointments. That's one of his colleagues. Now what
Speaker 1: do I expect Ted to say? Probably like that he'll
Speaker 1: be fine, and most likely he'll be fine. But I'm
Speaker 1: just curious, like some guy who you've you've you've attempted
Speaker 1: to demasculate, you're now gonna send to be the face
Speaker 1: of America around the world. But then I think to myself, well,
Speaker 1: we sent John Kerry, we sent Hillary Clinton. Although Hillary
Speaker 1: Clinton actually is terrifying. So yeah, I remember, remember there
Speaker 1: is uh there is there are published pieces out there
Speaker 1: that where the where the who have not been sued
Speaker 1: that the the marriage on the skids that that took
Speaker 1: place following the Monica Lewinsky sandal, where Hillary literally for
Speaker 1: months didn't talk to Bill was only they only fixed
Speaker 1: it because she was berating him to start bobbing the
Speaker 1: hell out of Sarajevo, and he's like, if it'll shut
Speaker 1: you up, which is a horrible way to choose conflicts.
Speaker 1: So yeah, she terrifies me. But can can Lil Marco
Speaker 1: go out there and uh and have enough respect? Maybe
Speaker 1: the answer is the guy he answers to is Donald Trump,
Speaker 1: and that's the dude you're scared of anyway because he's
Speaker 1: quote unpredictable. Then uh, maybe maybe it's a moot point.
Speaker 1: And then the second one is and this is the
Speaker 1: big fight Senate Majority Leader, which I've always been bothered
Speaker 1: by the Senate Majority Leader versus the speaker. Uh, the
Speaker 1: way that they do things because the Speaker of the House,
Speaker 1: it's out there right, everybody knows how everyone's vote, and
Speaker 1: you're on the record with Senate it's it's a secret ballot.
Speaker 1: So will it be Corning from Texas, Scott from Florida
Speaker 1: or excuse me, Scott for Flora, Scott from South Carolina
Speaker 1: or no, Like there's uh, there's there's three kind of
Speaker 1: mains and then there's four or five. Maybees can a
Speaker 1: non senator be it. I was gonna look that up,
Speaker 1: thought maybe we'd make ross the head of the Senate.
Speaker 1: You just rule over there, then maybe they get some
Speaker 1: stuff done. So yeah, so uh he they have they
Speaker 1: have bud marked down here because I'm looking at a
Speaker 1: list of who they've stated support for for John Cornyn
Speaker 1: from Texas and what's and what's wild is like people
Speaker 1: either hate with the passion and the and and the
Speaker 1: the fiery heat of a thousand suns all the other people,
Speaker 1: or are want to marry the person that they're with,
Speaker 1: Like there's no middle grade because usually if you got
Speaker 1: four or five names out there, you kind of rank
Speaker 1: them like there's the person you want to see, and
Speaker 1: then there's the person okay, I guess, and then maybe
Speaker 1: somebody you'd hold your nose for, and then you got
Speaker 1: you get down into it where you're just like no, no,
Speaker 1: you could never convince me. And that's you know, and
Speaker 1: that's fine. Everyone's got to uh make up their make
Speaker 1: up their their own minds, but they also don't have
Speaker 1: to explain it. And I'm always curious how people get there.
Speaker 1: So I want to ask Ted how he's gotten there.
Speaker 1: Maybe he hasn't, and maybe he's just erroneously listed in here.
Speaker 1: Senator slender Man looks like he's gonna he wants to
Speaker 1: go in a different direction. What time is slender Man's
Speaker 1: interview today? We got but at eight oh five we're
Speaker 1: gonna have the full Oh oh oh, that's right. We
Speaker 1: don't put him on the show anymore, so we'll just
Speaker 1: have to go with printed reports. Uh, then we get
Speaker 1: into like recess appointments, it'll get there's a lot of
Speaker 1: ground to cover today, and so I'm really really happy
Speaker 1: that we're going to have the Senator on. Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Speaker 1: It was, uh, this is not new, but the fact
Speaker 1: that it's still how it is is why I'm going
Speaker 1: to explain something to you. So going back to the
Speaker 1: first oh November, Politico ran a report talking about the
Speaker 1: response rate of people who were calling FEMA. Right, because
Speaker 1: what do they tell you, anyone who was impacted by
Speaker 1: the hurricane? What they tell you call FEMA. Here's the
Speaker 1: number we were running. We were running PSA's for the number.
Speaker 1: And that's fine, that's what they should do. Right, here's that.
Speaker 1: And I understand people go, well, you know, sometimes the phone.
Speaker 1: I understand that the phones and the internet aren't there,
Speaker 1: but it's a starting point of launching off point eventually
Speaker 1: you get to sell service. There is no perfect way
Speaker 1: other than maybe shooting flares in the air. And I
Speaker 1: also recognize that the staffing for FEMA when there's not
Speaker 1: disasters going on shouldn't be the same for staffing for
Speaker 1: FEMA when there are disasters going on. It's just not practical.
Speaker 1: And so the complexity of that is FEMA contracts. They
Speaker 1: roll people over from other parts of the government for
Speaker 1: more of the administrative stuff. Right if you can answer
Speaker 1: a phone for the Social Security Administration and run a
Speaker 1: phone tree, you can answer a phone and run a
Speaker 1: phone tree for FEMA with a little bit of training.
Speaker 1: And it's not going to be perfect. But like everything
Speaker 1: else in disaster response, nobody expects perfect. But you keep putting,
Speaker 1: You keep doing things that are insane, Like we have
Speaker 1: the amount of money that we still have that has
Speaker 1: been unspent, and these zero amount of homes in many
Speaker 1: communities going back to Hurricane Matthew that have been built.
Speaker 1: That's a thing that still exists in North Carolina. And
Speaker 1: if you're a new storm victim and you know that
Speaker 1: Hurricane Matthew people are still waiting on getting their homes rebuilt,
Speaker 1: what level of confidence does that give you. All right,
Speaker 1: So what was the thing? Well, first, the FEMA lady
Speaker 1: down in Florida says, she doesn't deny that she said
Speaker 1: don't go to Trump homes. No, she now, and keep
Speaker 1: in mind she did lose her job. She says she's
Speaker 1: a patsy. All right, I'm listening. She says she was
Speaker 1: a patsy. What she said is that this attitude, whether
Speaker 1: it be official or unofficial, that it's in the best
Speaker 1: interest of workers to avoid going to homes with Trump
Speaker 1: signage was not her idea, or at the very least
Speaker 1: not only her idea. And you know what, again, I
Speaker 1: balance it that she lost her job. But here's where
Speaker 1: it kind of makes sense. You're sitting around the lunch
Speaker 1: room or you know, wherever these middle managers gather. You're
Speaker 1: sharing your experience and yes, you have some opinion about
Speaker 1: Trump people. In the same way that that photographer who
Speaker 1: we talked about yesterday doesn't like the outcome of the election,
Speaker 1: so he's stopping any volunteer work for hurricane victims. He's like, well,
Speaker 1: they're mostly read County screwing. They get what they get.
Speaker 1: So if you're FEMA and you're sitting there and you're
Speaker 1: not immune to the politics of all of this, and
Speaker 1: you're like, and that's normally who you see every day
Speaker 1: on Fox News going, Hey, I'm Darryl, and Darryl's running
Speaker 1: a red hat and Daryl's got himself a big old
Speaker 1: Southern drawl, and Daryl's home just floated away. And if
Speaker 1: he's on there a week later, living in a pup
Speaker 1: town with his wife going where the hell are you,
Speaker 1: there's a you could take that personally, and then you
Speaker 1: see it over and over, and then you see politicians
Speaker 1: or you see jackass radio hosts like me continuing to
Speaker 1: point out these things like what do you mean you
Speaker 1: won't drive one hundred feet around a thing, a wooden
Speaker 1: barricade to go look at this house so that person
Speaker 1: get disaster assistance. Well, sorry, can't do that. It doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: It shouldn't matter, but it does because we're human and
Speaker 1: we hear stuff, and that's people being critical of your
Speaker 1: work or in this case, lack of work. Look at that.
Speaker 1: I'll never get my house fixed if I ever find
Speaker 1: myself in a hurricane. So the idea that that was
Speaker 1: an additude, which she says, Patsy, because let's face it,
Speaker 1: in the world of Patsy. That's not even a good Patsy, right,
Speaker 1: h that's a forgettable Patsy. I don't even know her
Speaker 1: name off the top of my head. I just know
Speaker 1: where is the female lady? I'll get it for you, though.
Speaker 1: You're gonna sit there and then you develop an attitude
Speaker 1: and then you sit around that lunch room and you're like, oh, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 1: I tell my guys not even to go near a
Speaker 1: Trump house anymore? Are they just yelling and stuff? They're like,
Speaker 1: where why is my Why don't you guys return my calls?
Speaker 1: And there's an interesting reason that that would be said,
Speaker 1: because remember I said that something from November first is
Speaker 1: still the same today and I'm blown away by it,
Speaker 1: or as of last night. I should say what that
Speaker 1: is the audio for you? And some thoughts next here
Speaker 1: on the CaCO Day radio program to say, should I
Speaker 1: leave it for Jamal to say that's that's part of
Speaker 1: it because this is a two parter this opening this morning. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'll leave it. I'll leave it for Jamal. I'll let
Speaker 1: you have your moment because uh, let me let me
Speaker 1: make the other point and then we'll get phone calls. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right, exercise. This is what I need you to do.
Speaker 1: I know it's early and you hate it when I
Speaker 1: do this. You're like, I'm just trying to get ready.
Speaker 1: My kids are little terrorists. We're very busy. Just do
Speaker 1: you have a coin or do you have a coin,
Speaker 1: or do you just have anything you can flip? Okay,
Speaker 1: take it, even if it's imaginary, call it in your
Speaker 1: head and then give it a give it a once over.
Speaker 1: Did you win? Not all of you? Statistically, probably about
Speaker 1: half of you, although it's it could be way, but
Speaker 1: you know that's the point of flipping a coin. So
Speaker 1: fifty percent of you on one side of things, fifty
Speaker 1: percent on the other. Now, pretend you're all hurricane victims.
Speaker 1: Are you ready?
Speaker 3: But it looks like the agency's problems go deeper than
Speaker 3: just one employee. We also found out that FEMA didn't
Speaker 3: ads are half the calls it received for disasterrate. Half
Speaker 3: the calls to FEMA after the hurricane went to voicemail,
Speaker 3: no response.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine sitting there in your community in western
Speaker 1: North Carolina, a community that's devastated, community where people you
Speaker 1: went to church with are dead and are not coming back.
Speaker 1: But it's okay. You may not be able to find
Speaker 1: the church because maybe the church isn't there anymore. And
Speaker 1: as all of you take the advice which you were
Speaker 1: told from FEMA to go ahead and reach out and
Speaker 1: make that phone call, and even if you get a voicemail,
Speaker 1: to not get a response. And by the way, again,
Speaker 1: that reporting originated November one, on the heels of all
Speaker 1: the daily wire stuff, and I should say on the
Speaker 1: heels in that window there as we were learning about
Speaker 1: the daily wire FEMA woman. And as of last night's
Speaker 1: reporting is a cent actually the same that one. That's
Speaker 1: been almost two weeks two. It's coming up on two
Speaker 1: months since the hurricane what was it? What was landfall?
Speaker 1: The twenty sixth of September, give it a day, twenty
Speaker 1: seventh into the twenty eighth here in North Carolina, and
Speaker 1: you know what happened. And that's not just North Carolina.
Speaker 1: That's also Florida, that's Georgia, it's South Carolina, it's probably
Speaker 1: I think a little into Tennessee, I believe. And half
Speaker 1: of the people who were told this is how you
Speaker 1: deal with this don't believe. Those other people don't believe
Speaker 1: that guy on the radio's he's a peddler of misinformation
Speaker 1: and half of it. What do you expect people to do?
Speaker 1: And the audacity of some of these videos that I've
Speaker 1: seen coming out, and I have held off getting in
Speaker 1: deep diving the specifics, although I've reached out to a
Speaker 1: couple of people in these videos and they have either
Speaker 1: clarified some thing they said or they were not the
Speaker 1: first they were not. They're not sure what's going to
Speaker 1: happen yet. But there are folks who are having to
Speaker 1: make a decision, who have been staying in shelters, staying
Speaker 1: in some sort of temporary housing, their family units or
Speaker 1: at least half family units, maybe a single parent with
Speaker 1: some kids, and that what they're where they're staying and
Speaker 1: what they're doing, time may be running out. And the
Speaker 1: inevitability is if they don't have a place for their
Speaker 1: family and they have kids, and you know, they don't
Speaker 1: have a running water or which, by the way, I'm
Speaker 1: here to tell you, or a hot water. Even I'm
Speaker 1: here to tell you. I lived in an entire summer
Speaker 1: as a minor. As a minor, an entire summer, so
Speaker 1: end of May, right after we drove cows up basically
Speaker 1: until early September, because bo season was getting underway, and
Speaker 1: then it was right back in the mountains. I lived
Speaker 1: and built in a half constructed cabin with some buddies
Speaker 1: one summer, and we got our water from the creek.
Speaker 1: We granted we you know, we hold food and stuff.
Speaker 1: There's uh, we did a lot of fishing too, and
Speaker 1: and we were fine. And we were miners and and
Speaker 1: my mom should have had us taken away. Well, I
Speaker 1: can't speak from other budies. Maybe their parents would have
Speaker 1: owned them. But yeah, and so you're telling family units
Speaker 1: they are now in this position where if whatever a
Speaker 1: shelter assistance may be coming to an end for whatever reason,
Speaker 1: that even if they want to move into a facility
Speaker 1: but it doesn't meet all of the normal occupancy requirements,
Speaker 1: that there's a possibility the state could take their kids.
Speaker 1: Those are the videos you're seeing emerging. We're I'm keeping
Speaker 1: a sharp eye on this and and I promise you
Speaker 1: if I if I get a hint that one of
Speaker 1: those starts to transact, that's going to be the show
Speaker 1: the next day, especially when you couple it with that
Speaker 1: coin flip you just did and half of you you
Speaker 1: haven't even getten a call back. I can't fathom that.
Speaker 1: I can't understand why you're not and I'm not suggesting
Speaker 1: him do this. I can't understand when you're sitting there
Speaker 1: and you don't even have a call back. Although I
Speaker 1: saw people go go who leaves a voicemail? All right,
Speaker 1: we're not talking about idiot cell phone stuff. We're talking
Speaker 1: about people who may have had to go borrow a
Speaker 1: sat phone from us, from somebody so they could even
Speaker 1: get in the hopper there, who don't even get a
Speaker 1: call back. The amount of you wonder why people are enraged.
Speaker 1: That's maddening. Now let me give you the other side
Speaker 1: of this, because FEMA will say things like, well, we
Speaker 1: have to have a way to get back in touch
Speaker 1: with people, and I understand that within the early days,
Speaker 1: and I also understand that FEMA with two storms is
Speaker 1: going to be overwhelmed. And I recognize that, which is
Speaker 1: why let me there's the last thing I'll say on
Speaker 1: this and then before we get into some phone call
Speaker 1: phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. By the way, I understand that there is
Speaker 1: zero reason to have staffing levels during non where there's
Speaker 1: not emergencies going on at FEMA. The same as when
Speaker 1: there are you would just have literally hundreds, if not
Speaker 1: thousands of people just sitting around, which kind of describes
Speaker 1: parts of the government. But no, in all seriousness, that's
Speaker 1: not functional, and I'm okay with that because that's not
Speaker 1: how a business would handle things. When a business has
Speaker 1: an emergency, people have to change it up. They adapt
Speaker 1: and I'll give you an example, and it is this
Speaker 1: exact thing. Okay, Ross, what happened when we had to
Speaker 1: go a full hurricane coverage on this year news talk station?
Speaker 1: Was it just you and me?
Speaker 4: No, it was every station in the cluster.
Speaker 1: Oh weird. You mean the people from the music stations
Speaker 1: came over and did news.
Speaker 4: Talk product They did, Oh okay, the country station is well.
Speaker 1: But not the not the classic rock station. Right, they
Speaker 1: didn't come out. I know they came over to Oh
Speaker 1: those those people can, but not the It was alternative
Speaker 1: not the alternative rock. It's just Chris and those got no.
Speaker 4: Just to point out that had to happen because people
Speaker 4: are gonna say, well, why didn't your stuf because they're like,
Speaker 4: there's like two people here, like three.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, well it overwhelmed like our Ross and I
Speaker 1: got most weekday we got it handled. I don't know
Speaker 1: if you've heard this, but for the most part, but
Speaker 1: with something like that where we're going, what what did
Speaker 1: we go thirty six or forty eight hours straight? I
Speaker 1: think we uh uh, and we just did it in shifts, right,
Speaker 1: and you have to transition over to do stuff. And
Speaker 1: then we had people outside of normal broadcasts who are
Speaker 1: in management, who are there and they're essentially they essentially
Speaker 1: turn into interns for a lot of this. They're running copy,
Speaker 1: they're coordinating. Not to mention, our news department, and this
Speaker 1: is how you do it. And our company also has
Speaker 1: a mechanism where if we need a lot more news
Speaker 1: people on stuff, we have a network with the ability
Speaker 1: to do that. You know why, because that's how businesses
Speaker 1: plan for things, and that's why you need more business
Speaker 1: in there. I get when it's busy and everything's to
Speaker 1: the wall. And this is not a critique of somebody
Speaker 1: who works at FEMA who sits there and bangs out
Speaker 1: every moment of their day trying to help people. If
Speaker 1: you're not getting it done, this is a management thing.
Speaker 1: And it sounds like management's just sitting around telling people
Speaker 1: to not go near Trump signs. It's positively enraging. And
Speaker 1: yet here we are, all right, let me grab this
Speaker 1: called Jamal Gorett ahead, sir, you know what, cac.
Speaker 5: Good morning, Jse and thank you off as well. You
Speaker 5: know what case if this had been a white lady
Speaker 5: and this had been Jamal the Harris supporter, every news
Speaker 5: agency would have declared it racism. They would have said
Speaker 5: this was racism, too great, this's a no.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on. I thought you were going in
Speaker 1: a different direction with the how the meat is reporting this.
Speaker 1: Let me add to what you're saying and I'll let
Speaker 1: you finish. So because I understand you're saying, well, if
Speaker 1: it looked like they were intentionally targeting, because they would
Speaker 1: make that argument if it was a bunch of Harris signs,
Speaker 1: or if it was in an area that had a
Speaker 1: higher minority population, you bet some idiot be out making
Speaker 1: that claim. But what was crazy is the amount of
Speaker 1: stories I saw where the photo that they paired with
Speaker 1: the story was not this woman's photo, which was readily available,
Speaker 1: you've all seen it, but they would just they would
Speaker 1: put the FEMA director's photo in there. And that is
Speaker 1: a decision. Who, by the way, is a white woman
Speaker 1: and It's like, why would you when you're specifically doing
Speaker 1: a story about somebody you have a photo of, why
Speaker 1: would you put her boss?
Speaker 5: Now?
Speaker 1: You would? They would say, well, because it goes up
Speaker 1: the food chain. And I'm like, that's fine. But when JD.
Speaker 1: Vance does something that you don't like, are you gonna
Speaker 1: run Trump's picture? Now, You're gonna run gd Vance's or
Speaker 1: you know, go down the list. Whatever it is Marco
Speaker 1: Rubio said, doesn't something doesn't go well at the G eight.
Speaker 1: You're not putting Trump's picture. You're putting Marco Rubio there
Speaker 1: looking like something's not going well. Absolute absurdity. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: go ahead, hey, And.
Speaker 5: You know what, Casey and noticed this in the manner
Speaker 5: in which the media are even talking about it. See,
Speaker 5: like I said, she was white when she said there
Speaker 5: is a culture there. Why haven't we heard Joe Biden
Speaker 5: come out and talk about it, mister unity, Why haven't
Speaker 5: we had Kamala Harrison, Because remember Kamala Harris was going
Speaker 5: on around here.
Speaker 1: She doesn't have a clue what's going on. She may
Speaker 1: have been running around here, but more chicken with no
Speaker 1: head than you know, doing stuff she doesn't care or no.
Speaker 1: In my opinion, and I think right now, especially in
Speaker 1: Lame Duck, she's gonna care no less if that's possible.
Speaker 5: Where's Josh Style? Where's Josh Style? You know, mister you know,
Speaker 5: mister oh, I'm where the terrors have been? Mark Robberson,
Speaker 5: you know, mister Josh Style. Why doesn't an investigation at
Speaker 5: what happened on western North Carolina.
Speaker 1: Just seem this happened never in a thousand years. But
Speaker 1: he is Attorney general. To your point, frankly, at the
Speaker 1: very least, he should be out there with his hands
Speaker 1: in the air, going what the hell is going at
Speaker 1: fifty Thanks for the kuljamm you did. Fifty percent of
Speaker 1: people who've requested haven't even gotten a phone call back,
Speaker 1: and that number doesn't seem to be vastly improving.
Speaker 6: That.
Speaker 1: Where's the Where's the guy who once a week sends
Speaker 1: me a press release about how he and eight of
Speaker 1: his buddies shook down a pharmaceutical company or or you know,
Speaker 1: insert whatever company it is. You want to be the
Speaker 1: big fighter here, get into this, Get into this. Half
Speaker 1: the people, how angry would you be? And for those
Speaker 1: of you going, you know, maybe the people in the
Speaker 1: mountains or the you know, the people talking about this,
Speaker 1: they're just jetting it up and they're making it harder.
Speaker 1: How could you make it harder not answer or any
Speaker 1: of them? How angry would you be if you live
Speaker 1: where you live right now? Let's see, you live on
Speaker 1: a street with six houses. You all know each other,
Speaker 1: and you all get together and you're like, oh, that
Speaker 1: was crazy. All of you suffer damage, and three of
Speaker 1: your neighbors like, yeah, no, we got they came out
Speaker 1: in an evil and you're like, well, nobody called us back.
Speaker 1: And then you find out that it was essentially half,
Speaker 1: you'd lose your mind and frankly, your neighbors, if they're
Speaker 1: good neighbors, would lose their minds on your behalf and
Speaker 1: probably help you because that's what normal people do. But
Speaker 1: we're not dealing with normal people. And where are the
Speaker 1: news agencies trying to hold this accountable? Other than me
Speaker 1: and a handful of others, I shouldn't say just a handful.
Speaker 1: I've seen some good reporting from what we would consider mainstream,
Speaker 1: but it's few and far between. Where's the big boys,
Speaker 1: where's the CNC, and where's one am I? Where's the
Speaker 1: I will go with uh? Fox eight or XII. Well,
Speaker 1: some of them are doing reporting on the on the triadside.
Speaker 1: I think Fox eight has run some decent stories. But
Speaker 1: where's w R e L. Where is you know, if
Speaker 1: they're the they're they're the leader there. Where's w r L?
Speaker 1: Why aren't they on their uh? Why aren't they on
Speaker 1: Twitter right now with their half million followers putting shedding
Speaker 1: light on this is a question I asked myself yesterday
Speaker 1: when I attempted to go count and check to see
Speaker 1: if there was any posting social media or posting of
Speaker 1: stories by w R e L and others on this
Speaker 1: craziness with the FEMA stuff right because they, like many others,
Speaker 1: were the ones telling you you're a horrible person. And
Speaker 1: as I go to check something amazing, something amazing occurred
Speaker 1: to me, and you just wait for it. It's coming
Speaker 1: up next. You do not want to miss this. Hang on,
Speaker 1: I have I have a gazillion things. He's gonna really
Speaker 1: regret scheduling. I'm kidding now, He'll be fine, But no,
Speaker 1: we got a lot of We got a lot of
Speaker 1: ground to cover, so we'll get on that. Unfortunately, though
Speaker 1: I I have some bad news. We're gonna do a canceling.
Speaker 1: This is not how I wanted to start my morning,
Speaker 1: but it's frankly can't be helped. All right, So what
Speaker 1: are we canceling Trump administration? Part due? Yeah, they got him,
Speaker 1: They got them, or they will they will soon have him.
Speaker 1: And no, not even for the reasons we discussed yesterday.
Speaker 1: But something new and exciting. Are you ready for this?
Speaker 1: Tip hawk astrologers? Yeah, do you remember these folks as
Speaker 1: the folks who, let's see, were slanderously trying to solve
Speaker 1: student murders out in Ohio or Ohio, Idaho. That lady's
Speaker 1: so whacked. I don't know if you saw that, like
Speaker 1: the double down on that lawsuit. Yes, TikTok astrologers who
Speaker 1: overs almost overwhelmingly used the stars and the planets and
Speaker 1: everything to predict a decisive Harris video victory are now
Speaker 1: making videos explaining what's going on because they kind of
Speaker 1: look like maybe they're full of crap. There's a possibility
Speaker 1: you ever talked to you ever talked to somebody who's
Speaker 1: really into astrology, which is fine if you really want
Speaker 1: to be into it, if you want to be into it,
Speaker 1: but like people think it's weird most of the time. Now,
Speaker 1: I can just be like, all right, that'll be amusing
Speaker 1: kind of like conspiracy theories, but like some people, really,
Speaker 1: some people will base super life decisions over, you know,
Speaker 1: astrological alignment. As I'm reading this article, this is a
Speaker 1: TikTok astrologers are convinced the election isn't over. Oh wait,
Speaker 1: you know what, ross I didn't. Oh, I tweeted this yesterday.
Speaker 1: So actually, if you want to retweet it, but if
Speaker 1: you don't have to, if you just roll down a little,
Speaker 1: you'll see this tweeted out there. All right, so back
Speaker 1: back to back to this bad boy. Why would it
Speaker 1: take my I hate websites like that. You scroll and
Speaker 1: it auto loads the next story. I just hate you
Speaker 1: so much. So a the gaggle of TikTok astrologers, who,
Speaker 1: by the way, if you can't trust a TikTok astrologer,
Speaker 1: who can you trust or a TikTok psychic they're at
Speaker 1: they're everywhere. They're usually like twenty three year old women.
Speaker 1: Some claim their witches, some claim there don't claim that
Speaker 1: they're just this that's more on the psychic side, and
Speaker 1: you had to pretty high profile example. Were one of
Speaker 1: these lunatics who also by the way, is still making
Speaker 1: content on this who started the whole thing that the
Speaker 1: college professor at the University of Idaho up in Moscow
Speaker 1: where those students were killed by that lunatic with a
Speaker 1: knife allegedly. That whole story's bonkers when you when you
Speaker 1: read into it. But what's even crazier is you had
Speaker 1: a professor there who this girl just fixated on. Was
Speaker 1: like she did it, making up relationships all that, And
Speaker 1: what was the most insane part, if that isn't insane
Speaker 1: enough already, is the court battle because she'd get served
Speaker 1: literally with a law suits. She would she pretended to
Speaker 1: wipe her backside with it, which is always courts love that,
Speaker 1: but also it was she decided to represent herself and
Speaker 1: it's a train wreck. So you're not dealing with the
Speaker 1: best and brightest. However, if you got a main line
Speaker 1: to the the Cosmos all lists. So why exactly is
Speaker 1: the fight not over? Well, for a couple reasons that
Speaker 1: are going to sound equally as insane. One meg Lee,
Speaker 1: who doesn't trust Meg Lee? Right, the astrologer probably all
Speaker 1: heard of her, she said, in the fact that they
Speaker 1: all seem to predict a Harris win. She said I
Speaker 1: stand by what I said. I don't think we've seen
Speaker 1: the end of it all. It's just the beginning. Based
Speaker 1: on the astrology alone, Harris is president. Did you guys
Speaker 1: know that? Because one, she's not the president right now,
Speaker 1: and astrology wouldn't have anything to say because Joe Biden's
Speaker 1: the president right now. But I think she means in January,
Speaker 1: and that's not the numbers I saw. So here's where
Speaker 1: it gets. I'm gonna avoid being a four year old
Speaker 1: for this whole thing, but I'm going to slip into it,
Speaker 1: and there's nothing I can do. I apologize in advance.
Speaker 7: Okay.
Speaker 1: When asked to explain why exactly Harris is the president
Speaker 1: regardless of what the American electorate said, uh meglie, let
Speaker 1: us know.
Speaker 6: So.
Speaker 1: Apparently she was checking out the chart alignments on the
Speaker 1: candidates and she said that this on Tuesday. This is
Speaker 1: Tuesday morning. Harris's chart showed that Saturn was transitioning her
Speaker 1: tenth house. Well, why didn't she say that at the beginning,
Speaker 1: she's getting her tenth house transitioned, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: is six more houses than the Clinton Foundation built in Haiti,
Speaker 1: which are probably demolished. Now we got a Haiti story
Speaker 1: we'll get to but anyway, so her tenth house is
Speaker 1: being transitioned. Meanwhile, on Tuesday morning something amazing effect. Let
Speaker 1: me get the breaking news sounder for this, because I
Speaker 1: didn't realize Trump was having to deal with this. Unfortunately
Speaker 1: for Trump, as of Tuesday morning, when Harris's tenth House
Speaker 1: was transitioning, Uh, they determined that Jupiter was conjuncting his uranus.
Speaker 1: I'm reading this verbatim. I'm not making any of this up.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not repositioning words. I am reading this verbatim.
Speaker 1: On Trump's chart, Jupiter was conjuncting his conjuncting like a
Speaker 1: conjunction uh, his uranus, which sounds you know what that
Speaker 1: sounds like. It sounds like your your your hands are tingling,
Speaker 1: or you're you're you got some lower back pain and
Speaker 1: you pop on web MD and it's like, oh, I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: you have a conjuncted uranus. By the way, who wants
Speaker 1: to hear that? Man? You're running to your way, probably
Speaker 1: not running like you're over the doctors, off doc, doc.
Speaker 1: I just found out I have a conjuncted uranus. Who
Speaker 1: did it? Jupiter? Which, by the way, if there's gonna
Speaker 1: be a planet in our solar system to conjunct your Uranus.
Speaker 1: Jupiter's worst case possible, right. I know it's very gaseous,
Speaker 1: so maybe it's appropriate. But remember, like how much what
Speaker 1: do you can? You feel?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 1: What thirty? Maybe it's more than how many earths can
Speaker 1: you fit in just that eye? It's some crazy number.
Speaker 1: That's the last planet? Like you, you gotta go Neptune, brouh,
Speaker 1: you got you gotta wish that they brought Pluto back
Speaker 1: if you're gonna have one of these planets conjuncting, you know, Uranus.
Speaker 1: I told you, I told you how hard I have
Speaker 1: to try to not be that guy in this segment.
Speaker 1: But I this, this is what they're and they mean
Speaker 1: this seriously. They're serious. So the stars have spoken, the
Speaker 1: planets have spoken. Trump's got a conjuncted Uranus and Harris,
Speaker 1: I guess in Janu where he'll be the president. Let's
Speaker 1: see here? Who else do we go? We gotta buch
Speaker 1: You know, I'm not gonna read all these losers. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I think Megley really summed it up very well. There
Speaker 1: she's got Are you not gonna believe this? Most of
Speaker 1: them have crazy eyes. Who saw that coming? Who saw that?
Speaker 1: But let's get down to what this is. It's clicks, man.
Speaker 1: If you look, every time there's something there, it's about
Speaker 1: And frankly they probably do good at a social media company.
Speaker 1: The ones who are really good at this, they tease, well,
Speaker 1: these are all these are things behind the scenes. So
Speaker 1: like in radio, they'll tell you. You know, you gotta be
Speaker 1: able to tease. So when I'm coming up to a
Speaker 1: break like I did earlier, where I'm like get you know,
Speaker 1: I'm like, hey, we're gonna flip a coin when we
Speaker 1: come back, and you don't want to miss it. That's
Speaker 1: a tease. But you better pay off your teas. That's
Speaker 1: the part they haven't figured out here. Because Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: will not be I'll risk being in that montage video
Speaker 1: like the one about Trump. He won't be. Kamala Harris
Speaker 1: will not be president after inauguration day. Okay, I'll go out.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go out on a limb here. In fact,
Speaker 1: in honor of one of my favorite movies, Trading Places,
Speaker 1: let's bet the usual. Ross you want to bet the
Speaker 1: usual from trading Places? I think we bet the usual.
Speaker 1: So and if if what If Meglei wins, then I
Speaker 1: will send Meglei the usual and she can use it
Speaker 1: to get her crazy eyes fixed or at least have
Speaker 1: a down payment. Or maybe she gets her uranus conjuncted
Speaker 1: and needs to seek help for that. I don't know,
Speaker 1: but thank you TikTok for the only really useful thing
Speaker 1: you do, and that is highlight the crazy for me.
Speaker 1: All right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. Now I'm the only I'm the only one
Speaker 1: who gets to be immature about this. I'm looking at
Speaker 1: my email here. Some of you are not being mature.
Speaker 1: Could I instead take you over to a new growing trend, conspiracy. Okay,
Speaker 1: watch for it. You're already seeing at emerge, but it's
Speaker 1: important that you understand it. There is a period of
Speaker 1: time and we're in it right now, following the election.
Speaker 1: Once the media has accepted who they believe will be
Speaker 1: their on inauguration day, and I know not all of
Speaker 1: them have, but for the most part, they may say
Speaker 1: one thing, but they do the other and it doesn't
Speaker 1: matter which direction it goes. It requires them to move
Speaker 1: the narrative on stories and it's something we do politically.
Speaker 1: Like you're guys, in charge. It's not as bad. They're
Speaker 1: guys in charge, their bloodthirsty killers. Sometimes that's the case.
Speaker 1: A lot of it's just politics, but it also requires
Speaker 1: a momentum and an opinion shift. And so what you're
Speaker 1: going to see is all all of these things that
Speaker 1: you who voted for Trump have been losing your mind over,
Speaker 1: whether it is hurricane assistance, whether it's the border issue,
Speaker 1: whether it's the UH, whether it is the inflation, just
Speaker 1: the cost of groceries, cost of gas at certain times
Speaker 1: you have been told for three and a half years,
Speaker 1: and there is there's some remarkable stuff coming out about
Speaker 1: what happened. I swear I thought I put this in
Speaker 1: the stack? Did I know? Did I?
Speaker 7: Ross?
Speaker 1: Did I put in I guess I didn't put in
Speaker 1: a stack? All right, because if I don't see it here,
Speaker 1: Ross stubs everything in. All right, that's I'll go. I'll
Speaker 1: go back and find well. I don't even need a
Speaker 1: dubbed it. I'll just tell you what it said, so
Speaker 1: as you remember how so that they could retain access
Speaker 1: to the money, because that was the big thing. I
Speaker 1: did raise all this money. The only other person who
Speaker 1: could use it as part part of the current cycle
Speaker 1: presidential candidate was his running mate, and so it had
Speaker 1: they would have they would have literally walked away from
Speaker 1: an ungodly sum. I can't remember exactly what it was,
Speaker 1: which they probably should have looked at all the money
Speaker 1: you would have saved that she wasted. So they stuck
Speaker 1: with that, and that required them to essentially just change
Speaker 1: the name on stuff and then hand it over so
Speaker 1: that she had access to all those dollars. So the
Speaker 1: Biden campaign became the Harris campaign, and with that came
Speaker 1: not just the money, but it came all of the research,
Speaker 1: the polling, the everything. And I'm actually surprised that Biden
Speaker 1: folks let some of this go over because it's not
Speaker 1: really useful with them anymore. The entire time that they
Speaker 1: were telling you everything's fine, they believed it. These are
Speaker 1: this is internal stuff. This is this is from a
Speaker 1: one of the campaign, one of the actual people within
Speaker 1: the campaign, and what they were now that now they're
Speaker 1: just burned it down because they'll realize they've been lied to.
Speaker 1: But they when they walked in and they got a
Speaker 1: hold of the internal polling and how focus groups were
Speaker 1: tested during Biden's run when he was telling you, no,
Speaker 1: this is the best economy ever. They believed it. He
Speaker 1: probably believed because somebody told him and then it locked in.
Speaker 1: But like people around him believe that because they were
Speaker 1: using best case scenariometrics, they were ignoring anything that didn't comport.
Speaker 1: Probably called one of these TikTok astrologers. And then when
Speaker 1: they had something they liked, they went with it. And
Speaker 1: he said that they firmly believed that in spite of
Speaker 1: a very very interesting number, which I will tell you,
Speaker 1: so were doing the tea's again, we're doing the teas
Speaker 1: and you're not going this number. And then the transitioning
Speaker 1: of the American populace's position on the big issues of
Speaker 1: our day. That's what's begun. We'll get you the number,
Speaker 1: we'll play of the audio, we'll get their next hang on,
Speaker 1: all right, this, we'll catch up to this little conversation
Speaker 1: Rosser and I are having off the air. But let
Speaker 1: me hit you with this. Jon Favreau, who was a
Speaker 1: former speechwriter for Obama. He was a campaign co chair
Speaker 1: for Biden for one of the regions I think a
Speaker 1: regional chair. Hey, this is one of the guys that's
Speaker 1: in the upper echelon of the Democrat Party. Okay, So
Speaker 1: he's being interviewed on pod Save America, which is not
Speaker 1: the number one podcast in the world, not the number two,
Speaker 1: not that I could we go down the list, yet
Speaker 1: somehow finds themselves with an HBO deal and all sorts
Speaker 1: of stuff because it's moon bets. It's a bunch of
Speaker 1: moon bets. So I just want you to understand that
Speaker 1: this guy, who is a diagn thebold Democrat, worked in
Speaker 1: campaigns and staff for presidents and would be presidents, is
Speaker 1: being interviewed, is being interviewed. By the way, for those
Speaker 1: of you asking me to ask Ted Budd about Senate
Speaker 1: the Senate leadership, I'm on it. Okay, I got it.
Speaker 1: I'm good. I have a little trust in your boy.
Speaker 1: Or I'll just talk about astrology if you keep sending
Speaker 1: me stuff which would be very confusing to or maybe
Speaker 1: he's into it and we'll learn something. Anyway, So Favreau,
Speaker 1: a leftist, is on a podcast full of leftists being
Speaker 1: then distributed on leftist media outlets. There is no expectation
Speaker 1: that he has to come in there and and be
Speaker 1: a wrecking ball. He can do the hymn and the
Speaker 1: han you know, and even the kind of intimate that
Speaker 1: the Trump cheated somehow away, that's what I expect, but
Speaker 1: he didn't. He started talking about that transition from the
Speaker 1: Biden campaigned to the Harris campaign and getting a hold
Speaker 1: of all of those documents. And at the very moment,
Speaker 1: right just remember after the debate, when they said that
Speaker 1: the debate didn't materially impact their polling, and everyone went,
Speaker 1: how is that possible? Or when they were telling you
Speaker 1: everything's fine, how do you believe that? Favreau said two things.
Speaker 1: One he said that they believed it, and two and
Speaker 1: here's and I'll explain why. He also pointed out at
Speaker 1: the exact moment, they took over the most recent internal polling.
Speaker 1: So in the moment that Biden said I'm out, Har's
Speaker 1: going to do this thing, the internal polling showed Joe
Speaker 1: Biden and Donald Trump's race, with Donald Trump receiving four
Speaker 1: hundred electoral votes. He would have received a court if
Speaker 1: you believe the internal polling, which arguably some people tend
Speaker 1: to believe more. I don't know about that, don't know
Speaker 1: about that that he was, he was, you know, you know,
Speaker 1: lose by one hundred and thirty whatever ballots or electoral votes.
Speaker 1: That's my that's like reagan esque and it's not even
Speaker 1: a fair just straight comparison with the Reagan race when
Speaker 1: you get into third party stuff. But again, if Favre
Speaker 1: makes a I say, a fair point in that, I
Speaker 1: believe I think they're wrong, but I believe that they
Speaker 1: thought this, that people would sit there and they just
Speaker 1: they thought that they could beat Trump by doing nothing.
Speaker 1: And if that's going to be your strategy, you're hosed. Man,
Speaker 1: You're hosed. Why because he's a semi known commodity. If
Speaker 1: he's just a rando and you didn't have and you
Speaker 1: can't feel any of the energy, Sure, fine, you may
Speaker 1: that may mathematically work out for you, but that was
Speaker 1: never a possibility. So have you the Harris campaign, Well
Speaker 1: then what do you gotta do. You got to go
Speaker 1: big or go home. Unfortunately they did both. We'll get
Speaker 1: into the financials here in just a few minutes. All right,
Speaker 1: So here's the audio I wanted to talk about that
Speaker 1: we were transitioning too, and that is the media now
Speaker 1: has to unignore things that they claimed weren't happening.
Speaker 8: Right.
Speaker 1: I know, the border's fine. Yeah, it's a little messy sometimes,
Speaker 1: but it's just a lot of people in h humanity
Speaker 1: and why do you hate brown people? Or you know
Speaker 1: whatever the narratives were. Now that thing, even if it's
Speaker 1: the day after the inauguration, has to be displayed as
Speaker 1: a dumpster fire of epic proportions, and it has to
Speaker 1: be squarely on Trump. Why aren't they doing anything? It's
Speaker 1: been a week. Why isn't Tom Homan fixing it? Although,
Speaker 1: by the way, I don't think you want to challenge
Speaker 1: Tom Holman too, telling you, dude, he was very few
Speaker 1: people do I meet up up in Washington who are
Speaker 1: already in government where I immediately like them and I
Speaker 1: and it isn't necessarily for just what he does. He's
Speaker 1: just he's just a really I don't want to say
Speaker 1: funny because he's you know what, he reminds me of
Speaker 1: a little of something I get pegged with. So maybe
Speaker 1: this is a little selfish where I come ross. Would
Speaker 1: you say occasion I can come off as a curmudgeon,
Speaker 1: you can too, for that matter, But would you say
Speaker 1: that as occasionally a thing? Yeah? Well, but you know,
Speaker 1: some like the thing is like I don't smile for
Speaker 1: pictures and whatnot people, but it's it's not me. I
Speaker 1: want to have a Holman's like that, but then he
Speaker 1: starts telling you stories and they're insane, and they're I
Speaker 1: don't want to say they're great, because a lot of
Speaker 1: them aren't great. But he's also the last dude you
Speaker 1: want to challenge. If you've ever seen any of Tom
Speaker 1: Holman in doing congressional testimony, famously with aoc oh oh,
Speaker 1: it's good stuff, good stuff. He was the one who
Speaker 1: was on sixty minutes the other day when they're like,
Speaker 1: what do you do if there's families, He's like, well,
Speaker 1: we could to pour them together. And then a look
Speaker 1: on that woman's face at sixty minutes. That's Tom Mahoman.
Speaker 1: Don't challenge that guy to get up and rolling. He's
Speaker 1: going to I can't even play his speech that he
Speaker 1: gave at one of the clothes at the one of
Speaker 1: the victory parties. He swearing the whole time, not the
Speaker 1: whole time, but a lot of it. But his attitude
Speaker 1: is you give me sixty He said that Trump told
Speaker 1: him he's got sixty days to get some order down there.
Speaker 1: The border patrol people are over the moon quote. Morale
Speaker 1: among US customs and Border Protection agents has skyrocketed, according
Speaker 1: to the National Border Patrol Council President Paul Perez. These
Speaker 1: guys were in the dumpster. I want to say that
Speaker 1: they had positivity ratings about the job that they're doing
Speaker 1: in like the twentieth percentile, and that's now in the
Speaker 1: seventieth percentile. Acted to be. Trump has already taken action
Speaker 1: preparing to carry out his immigration agenda, tapping Tom Home
Speaker 1: and former Acting Director of ICE to serve as the
Speaker 1: new borders are. I almost I'm kicking myself because last
Speaker 1: week when I or when the sixty minute stuff I
Speaker 1: was gonna have, I was gonna ask Ross to try
Speaker 1: to get home and on. I actually have a I
Speaker 1: have a number for him. He'll probably change that. That
Speaker 1: was dumb of him. Give me a cell. No, I
Speaker 1: won't abuse it, but I want to. I'd like to
Speaker 1: get him on, but I think he's going to be
Speaker 1: unget onnable for a little while. But we'll try. We'll try,
Speaker 1: because he's he's and I've interviewed him at the radio
Speaker 1: row up in DC. But it is going to be
Speaker 1: imperative that the media switch it. So everything that wasn't
Speaker 1: a problem will now be a massive problem. And every
Speaker 1: single moment of every day it it doesn't. It doesn't.
Speaker 1: And by the way, to fix it if even if
Speaker 1: the Republicans say they fix it, if it's not the
Speaker 1: Democrats solution, that they'll still say it's broken. And that's
Speaker 1: the job of the media.
Speaker 5: Now.
Speaker 1: You have to start to flip public perception. You have
Speaker 1: to figure out a way, just like Biden's health, because
Speaker 1: you saw what it just did to you. You have
Speaker 1: to soft roll people into recognizing there's a problem. And
Speaker 1: you can do it by you write things like spurred
Speaker 1: on by the election of Trump. People are making a
Speaker 1: mad dash, even though that's not true. That caravan lost
Speaker 1: half its people, half the people that they were staged
Speaker 1: in southern Mexico turned around or attempted to seek asylum
Speaker 1: in Mexico for most of them. And that's where we're going.
Speaker 1: That's where we're going. Let's head to the view first show.
Speaker 9: There is a problem at the border, and there's been
Speaker 9: a problem for decades and decades, and every administration has
Speaker 9: come through here and no one has fixed it. It
Speaker 9: ballooned in this last administration. And that's what the people
Speaker 9: voted on a referendum on that. Because right now, one
Speaker 9: thing I've never understood and actually think We'll wait to
Speaker 9: see how this looks. But either we have laws at
Speaker 9: the border or we don't.
Speaker 1: Oh, it's very clear, and we keep playing it the
Speaker 1: joy and will have not yelled at her this far
Speaker 1: two months ago, they would have cut her off. You
Speaker 1: can't convince me otherwise.
Speaker 9: We're asking people to get in line to come into
Speaker 9: this country while incentivizing people not waiting in the line.
Speaker 9: Like we've seen things where sanctuary cities like California and
Speaker 9: Illinois kind of like get to the country like kick
Speaker 9: the can. If you get to base though, you're going
Speaker 9: to be fine.
Speaker 6: You also have.
Speaker 9: Tim Walls signed into legislation in Minnesota that allowed undocumented
Speaker 9: immigrants to receive free in state tuition. All these are
Speaker 9: lovely in spirit, but there are people that can't pay
Speaker 9: for food for their own families. In New York, they
Speaker 9: were giving the five hundred dollars meal cards, and obviously
Speaker 9: we want to help someone for the humane interest, but
Speaker 9: there's a lifeboat here and there. I think the rage
Speaker 9: about the border was also people here that are maybe insecure,
Speaker 9: homeless at times, making ends meet, and they don't have
Speaker 9: any of they can send their kid to college. That's
Speaker 9: the outrage of what I saw.
Speaker 1: The voters all right, all right, so and it took
Speaker 1: a minute and eight seconds for one of these Banshees
Speaker 1: to start screaming at her. I don't know, I know
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound like progress. That's progress, man, And it
Speaker 1: goes on morning Joe shall.
Speaker 2: We The Washington Post, Matt Bye writes some part I
Speaker 2: do think the prosecutions fed a narrative of Trump as
Speaker 2: a victim. I also think Democrats dug themselves into a
Speaker 2: hole on cultural issues and identity politics.
Speaker 1: Trump I love this, I love, love love the way
Speaker 1: she says identity politics. It's a little inflection, but she's
Speaker 1: almost surprised that she's reading the quiet part out.
Speaker 2: Loud vicious transgender ad In the closing weeks, She's for
Speaker 2: they them, He's for you. Was probably the most effective
Speaker 2: of the cycle. I think that probably landed with a
Speaker 2: lot of traditionally Democratic voters who feel like the party
Speaker 2: is consumed for the cultural issues while the economic issues
Speaker 2: don't really change. I think people needed a reason to
Speaker 2: feel good and hopeful about voting for her, and absent that,
Speaker 2: a lot of frustrated voters apparently decided to go with
Speaker 2: the guy who wants to burn it all down.
Speaker 8: Let's dig a little deeper, because you have that stacked
Speaker 8: on top of what happened on college campuses this fall,
Speaker 8: stacked on top of what's been happening on college campuses
Speaker 8: over the past four or five years. I have said
Speaker 8: this on the air, and every time I've said it,
Speaker 8: people said, Oh, you're just saying that because you're a
Speaker 8: white conservative. No, I'm just saying it because every Democrat
Speaker 8: that we have ever sat down with dinner with over
Speaker 8: the past five years who have kids that go to
Speaker 8: colleges say their kids are afraid to speak in class
Speaker 8: because they'll be canceled.
Speaker 1: I mean, the first part of making the transition is
Speaker 1: you have to come off the one side right. It's
Speaker 1: like an upside down bell curve. Man, you gotta cut.
Speaker 1: You're over there on the left, your way up the hill.
Speaker 1: And that is because you're protecting your candidate. You don't
Speaker 1: have anyone to protect anymore. So as these problems continue,
Speaker 1: they will become bigger problems. Why is Donald Trump allowing
Speaker 1: college campuses to melt down? Remember they remember the first
Speaker 1: time around the college campuses. Every time they'd say it
Speaker 1: is they would say it's a result of Trump merely existing,
Speaker 1: which is a heckler's veto. But you should look that
Speaker 1: up if you don't know what that is. But now
Speaker 1: you got to you've got to repeal and you got
Speaker 1: to put in. You have to be like, you know,
Speaker 1: we were always here saying this. You heard morning Joe
Speaker 1: there that Loune to tell. Oh, yeah, every time I
Speaker 1: went to a party on the Upper East Side or
Speaker 1: where they wherever they hang out, I'm sure that's probably
Speaker 1: where it is. We go there and uh, you know
Speaker 1: all the rich people say their kids go to colleges
Speaker 1: and they're all insane, all the colleges or insane. Well,
Speaker 1: I don't remember saying anything about that. And the grifters
Speaker 1: have to continue because they still have to have this
Speaker 1: aura that they got it right. One of the king
Speaker 1: grifters in this case somebody who has photographed himself, campaigned
Speaker 1: for in previous times and co chaired a campaign with
Speaker 1: in the form of Jesse Mister Rainbow Push Jesse Jackson
Speaker 1: is Al Sharpton, who was Trump's buddy. There's a photo
Speaker 1: of Al Sharpton kissing Trump on the cheek or like
Speaker 1: leaning in for one would, and he's not even holding
Speaker 1: a bullhorn and he's not in a tracksuit. This guy's
Speaker 1: got to pivot faster than anybody.
Speaker 8: Progress that's on the four to four left said we're
Speaker 8: going to save you black and Hispanic people of America.
Speaker 8: A lot of black and Hispanic people Americas ain't no thanks.
Speaker 8: You're kind of wild, like you're too far left. We
Speaker 8: believe in the American dream. We want to be part
Speaker 8: of the American dream. Thanks, but no thanks.
Speaker 3: Keep that in your college classes.
Speaker 7: Breath.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, the whole goal of the civil rights movement and
Speaker 10: the movement now is to correct the system, not to
Speaker 10: overthrow the system, and to make things work equally for everyone,
Speaker 10: not to just upturn everything and change everything to some
Speaker 10: undefined utopia. And these latte liberals that speak for people
Speaker 10: that they don't speak to, that want to lead people
Speaker 10: that they don't even like.
Speaker 1: By the way, how rich is this coming from Al Sharpton?
Speaker 1: Have you seen his houses? And then he's over there
Speaker 1: banging around Harlem trying to get another Hasidic Jew killed.
Speaker 1: If you don't know what that means, you should look
Speaker 1: it up to Wanta Brawley. Go ahead, I'll let you
Speaker 1: google it. This guy's so full of it, man, and
Speaker 1: yet they have to start the trans position so that eventually,
Speaker 1: by the time you get in there, you were right
Speaker 1: all along. Donald Trump's the problem. And look, this problem
Speaker 1: that we chose to ignore is now a big problem.
Speaker 1: Mark my words. It's coming seven forty six race stage
Speaker 1: from the weather channel. He's coming at you with the
Speaker 1: weather Yo, yo yo. What's up?
Speaker 7: Man?
Speaker 11: Man?
Speaker 7: How's it going?
Speaker 1: I'm glad. As long as I'm not flying on Spirit Airlines,
Speaker 1: I'm good today.
Speaker 7: So oh what Spirit?
Speaker 9: Do?
Speaker 1: What you did? You not see the two Spirit stories
Speaker 1: this week? So wow, it's not really a spirit's problem.
Speaker 1: But one of you was a JFK or gligor. One
Speaker 1: of the airports up in New York. A raccoon popped
Speaker 1: out over the gate. Oh wow, you know, right you
Speaker 1: they scan your little thing before you get on the
Speaker 1: jet bridge. Yeah, raccoon came flying out of the ceiling.
Speaker 1: Everyone freaked out. But yesterday a Spirit Airlines flight flighting
Speaker 1: to Port of Prince they were shooting at it it.
Speaker 7: Oh wow, now it is.
Speaker 1: Well hold on, well, but it's Spirits. So do we
Speaker 1: know the shots were coming from outside? I don't know, Oh,
Speaker 1: your red.
Speaker 7: Spirit, No, I don't know if I fit from what
Speaker 7: I hear.
Speaker 1: You know the front they have the front, they have
Speaker 1: like four front big seats, right, you probably enjoy those,
Speaker 1: but and I've got them a little grief. But Spirits
Speaker 1: got a little bit of a rep because it's a
Speaker 1: low cost carrier.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 1: So I'm just saying, did did Barbecue and the Haitian?
Speaker 5: Uh?
Speaker 7: What?
Speaker 1: I can remember what they call the liberation whatever? Barbecue?
Speaker 1: Who's the warlord? That's his name? I didn't name him,
Speaker 1: it's his name Barbecue. Interesting you know why his name
Speaker 1: is Barbecue?
Speaker 7: I probably don't want to know.
Speaker 1: You don't. You do not want to know exactly?
Speaker 11: Thank you very.
Speaker 1: Barbecue and team shot at the plane or tell me
Speaker 1: it was Ross barked OUN's spirit is never advertised on
Speaker 1: the show. Probably anyway, whatever, I'm just joking. You know,
Speaker 1: it's terrifying. We shouldn't be flying over to Haiti. They
Speaker 1: need to be done at place is. It's got some
Speaker 1: problems right now, and I know people need to get there.
Speaker 1: I don't know what the answer maybe flying to the
Speaker 1: Dominican across him in I don't know, But so what's
Speaker 1: is it good going to Haiti?
Speaker 6: Yeah?
Speaker 7: Today?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 12: Sure, sure if that's what you'd like. I mean, looks
Speaker 12: pretty good this morning. There's a statement there's some patche
Speaker 12: fogg and cloud in the area, but nothing too widespread.
Speaker 7: A beautiful couple of days coming up.
Speaker 12: Cooling trend, though by tomorrow morning you're gonna be like, huh,
Speaker 12: what's this. We're gonna take ten twelve degrees off of
Speaker 12: what you see right now in the Karth thermometer. So
Speaker 12: if you're seeing forty seven or a fifty or a
Speaker 12: fifty two, it's even fifty five right now. Over at
Speaker 12: Duke of the University, you're gonna see like thirty five
Speaker 12: thirty eight tomorrow morning. So some chillier air on the way,
Speaker 12: but back to where we should be this time of year,
Speaker 12: so it shouldn't be a surprise. Sunny today, probably get
Speaker 12: load of mid sixties. Tonight mid upper thirties with maybe
Speaker 12: some frost, especially from the Triad west into the mountains
Speaker 12: and some of the nooks and crannies. Wednesday sunny and cool,
Speaker 12: mid upper fifties, but that is closer to normal, which
Speaker 12: is about sixty degrees Thursdays. Some rain possible in the
Speaker 12: afternoon and at night. Quarter and a half an inch of
Speaker 12: rain not a severe weather threat, not a flood issue.
Speaker 12: Behind that front. We'll have sunshine back for Friday, Saturday, Sunday,
Speaker 12: and again we'll get back into the sixties and maybe
Speaker 12: well into the sixties by Sunday, maybe seventy degrees for
Speaker 12: the triangle, returning by about Monday, and more sunshine, so
Speaker 12: a little chillier, especially tomorrow morning, and then a little
Speaker 12: wet weather, then some beautiful weather for another four or
Speaker 12: five day stretch, and we're gonna have to keep our
Speaker 12: eyes on the tropics because there is something that may
Speaker 12: try to come out of the southwest Caribbean.
Speaker 1: He's just gonna say, I'm like, hey, you're not threatening
Speaker 1: us anymore, but he is. So there you go. When
Speaker 1: what is the timing on the maybe for something like that.
Speaker 7: Just real late next week?
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, so we oh good, So maybe people
Speaker 1: can get just before Thanksgiving?
Speaker 7: Right exactly? Yeah?
Speaker 1: Okay, well all right, thanks man, we'll talk in an hour.
Speaker 1: Have a going there you go, Racetagic from the Weather Channel.
Speaker 1: All right, coming up, you heard Ross and I banging numbers.
Speaker 1: These numbers coming out of where a lot of this
Speaker 1: money went to the Harris Camp is a whole lot
Speaker 1: of egg on the fan. Man, maybe we like Ross
Speaker 1: and I were saying, we don't. Maybe we don't understand
Speaker 1: how political endorsements work. We'll let you be the judge
Speaker 1: next hang on pay week, your day month, however long
Speaker 1: it takes. And when I say pay, I mean we
Speaker 1: are finding out who is getting a new gig. A
Speaker 1: lot of names coming out on the administration. And of
Speaker 1: course we're also trying to figure out who is going
Speaker 1: to be head of the Senate now that Republicans have
Speaker 1: re seized control. And to help us do that, one
Speaker 1: of the guys who's going to get to vote that
Speaker 1: is if I can get my phone screener to work.
Speaker 1: There we go, our own Senator Ted Budd. How are
Speaker 1: you doing this morning, Senator?
Speaker 6: Oh, it's great to be with you.
Speaker 11: I mean, what amazing win last week.
Speaker 6: So we got a lot of work ahead of us,
Speaker 6: but we're looking forward.
Speaker 1: To it now. Normally I would ask this question and
Speaker 1: I would only be able to rely on on your
Speaker 1: own take. But I made the I made the I
Speaker 1: was in DC this weekend and it didn't vibe how
Speaker 1: it normally vibes, and some of the conversations I was
Speaker 1: overhearing while I was at the airport and then at
Speaker 1: a couple of the restaurants. Everybody capital over by Phoenix
Speaker 1: Park and over there there's people like talking about resumes
Speaker 1: and stuff and us, and you know what, here's here's
Speaker 1: why I feel bad, because people are human and I
Speaker 1: work in an industry where a lot of times they
Speaker 1: may just be that you don't work here anymore, go
Speaker 1: move across the country. It happens. I've been fortunate, so
Speaker 1: I don't wish that a pond, but there was a
Speaker 1: secret part of me and you can scold me if
Speaker 1: you will, where I'm just like good good.
Speaker 5: So that is the goal.
Speaker 6: That is the goal.
Speaker 11: I mean, President Trump talked about shuttering some of these
Speaker 11: buildings and while it may hurt the small city of Washington,
Speaker 11: d C. It would be great for the rest of
Speaker 11: the country. Or at least move them out, you know,
Speaker 11: put them out in the Kudzoo area where where real
Speaker 11: people work.
Speaker 1: But yeah, yeah, put them on the other side of
Speaker 1: Dulls or something. And then the other don't even get
Speaker 1: me start. You know, when I have to fly in
Speaker 1: and I fly over, just endless. Seven hundred and fifty
Speaker 1: thousand dollars, million dollar homes. But what does that look
Speaker 1: like in DC? When you start getting how does it
Speaker 1: normally look in DC? Because you've been through, you know,
Speaker 1: all these two year cycles for what how long have
Speaker 1: you been one? Or either Senator I came.
Speaker 11: I came in with President Trump in twenty sixteen, was
Speaker 11: sworn in, Yeah, I mean House and Senator sworn in
Speaker 11: seventeen days before the president. So I came in January third,
Speaker 11: twenty seventeen. He came in January twentieth.
Speaker 1: So so frankly, you've always been in the swamp, so
Speaker 1: or not in the swamp, but in the hurricane, if
Speaker 1: you will. So when he says things like we're going
Speaker 1: to close the Department of Education, the vision that people
Speaker 1: see is bulling sorrow or not bullon sorrow. The Argentinian
Speaker 1: guy whipping those Remember he's ripping all those departments off
Speaker 1: the wall. They're out of here. And so is that
Speaker 1: what we're looking Is Trump going to do that? First
Speaker 1: of all? And what is your comfort level when he
Speaker 1: says things like the Department of Ed is out and
Speaker 1: we're going to give it back to the States and
Speaker 1: that's a lot of money. I mean, where does Ted
Speaker 1: bud land on that well.
Speaker 11: I think you've got a message in a certain way,
Speaker 11: and that's I mean, you've got to say we want
Speaker 11: more education, and we realize the very Department of Education
Speaker 11: is an.
Speaker 6: Obstacle to that.
Speaker 11: I mean, when you look at how much money is
Speaker 11: spent per student in North Carolina, what's at thirty thousand
Speaker 11: per student or so there's a huge number. And remember
Speaker 11: sixty percent of our state, not our federal but our
Speaker 11: state's budget is on education. So there's plenty of money
Speaker 11: being spent, but it's not getting to the benefit of
Speaker 11: the student to get them ready.
Speaker 6: For the workforce and to be great citizens.
Speaker 11: So we've got to translate how those dollars are used,
Speaker 11: and I think that these bureaucracies are in the way
Speaker 11: of helping the student. We need more for teachers, and
Speaker 11: we need more in the classroom and more for students.
Speaker 11: So as long as you message that, I think we're
Speaker 11: in good shape and you realize that these bureaucracies have
Speaker 11: turned in on themselves and they're not benefiting the American people.
Speaker 1: No, and I'm reading reports of people were at the
Speaker 1: DOJ who are already resigning. It's how much of that
Speaker 1: is normal versus I don't know that I can do.
Speaker 1: But here's something I did notice when I was in DC,
Speaker 1: and then I want to get into the Senate stuff.
Speaker 1: I was it was a nice day over the weekend
Speaker 1: on side. Were you up in DC on Saturday?
Speaker 11: It was kind of yeah, we're I'm in North Carolina
Speaker 11: as much as possible, So I was, no, oh, no.
Speaker 1: In d C. I was in DC Saturday and it
Speaker 1: was a nice day. So I just said, I haven't
Speaker 1: walked them all in a while. It's a beautiful day.
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go do that. So I did the I
Speaker 1: walk from essentially just north of the White House down
Speaker 1: to the Lincoln Memorial. I wanted to see the new
Speaker 1: Korean War Memorial, which I don't know if you've seen it.
Speaker 1: It's really cool. But what I didn't see is pink hats, lunatics,
Speaker 1: people burning recently immigrated people's limos which contained literally that's
Speaker 1: their whole career. They're probably living in the thing. I
Speaker 1: didn't see the unbridled insanity that I have come to
Speaker 1: expect from where you work, sir. And my question is
Speaker 1: is it that people avenged? There's people who are losing
Speaker 1: their minds. Are they going to take it better? Or
Speaker 1: is this going to manifest in a different way versus
Speaker 1: what we saw last time, because it's injurious to the
Speaker 1: ability to get things done.
Speaker 11: I mean, you saw a confluence of some horrible things
Speaker 11: last time. I mean you had the George Floyd reaction
Speaker 11: in twenty twenty plus COVID plus and then the anti
Speaker 11: anti law enforcement sentiment. But we said, like, look, the
Speaker 11: reason that Trump was elected overwhelmingly in every single swing
Speaker 11: state and the most you know, the biggest landflight in
Speaker 11: like thirty six years, is because people feel unsafe and
Speaker 11: things are unaffordable. And if you're unsafe, you're going to
Speaker 11: be respectful of law enforcement. You're going to say we
Speaker 11: need law enforcement.
Speaker 6: So I think the crazy stuff.
Speaker 11: Is on the way out. I mean you got to
Speaker 11: watch it during swearing in and all these different moments
Speaker 11: of heightened security. But I think people are ready for
Speaker 11: some law and order again so they can get back
Speaker 11: to having their lives and they want to be safe.
Speaker 11: They want their family safe, they want their kids safe,
Speaker 11: they want schools safe. And I think we had more
Speaker 11: of that under President Trump. I know we had more
Speaker 11: of that, and that's what people are. You know, did
Speaker 11: a landslot election for and.
Speaker 1: If people do want more of it, it's going to
Speaker 1: require a lot of heavy lifts. You guys, while you're
Speaker 1: going to be in control of the Senate and the House,
Speaker 1: it's over on the Senate side. It's not as though
Speaker 1: you have sixty or sixty you know, sixty six votes?
Speaker 1: How do you do that? And how important is this
Speaker 1: vote you guys are about to take for Senate majority leader?
Speaker 1: And by the way, where are you on the big
Speaker 1: three that are being thrown out Cornyn, Scott and thun
Speaker 1: Where where's Senator butt? At question?
Speaker 11: But the question behind the question is, Look, who is
Speaker 11: going to be lockstep behind President Trump? Who is going
Speaker 11: to use the levers of the Senate to a pomplish
Speaker 11: what happened in a landslide election just a week ago?
Speaker 11: That's the question. You know, who has when they been
Speaker 11: given a chance to lead, how do they do? You
Speaker 11: got to look at their voting history. So I'm listening
Speaker 11: to everyone. We're going to have a discussion tonight. We're
Speaker 11: going to have a discussion tomorrow. I haven't made up
Speaker 11: my mind.
Speaker 6: It's a secret ballot.
Speaker 11: There's probably several several ballots are going to happen, probably
Speaker 11: not the first ballot, somebody is going to be eliminated
Speaker 11: and it's going to go from there. So it's going
Speaker 11: to be it's going to be, you know, an interesting ride.
Speaker 11: But again I'm I'm open to everybody, but the goal
Speaker 11: is supporting what Americans North Carolinians overwhelmingly voted for last
Speaker 11: Tuesday night.
Speaker 1: What's okay. But so what do you make of the record?
Speaker 1: I have reporting that says you're you're voting for recorded,
Speaker 1: so the reporters are wrong.
Speaker 11: You know that same that same list that you know
Speaker 11: I read probably the same Twitter.
Speaker 1: Yep, I'm asking you because I don't ask believe it.
Speaker 1: This is why I'm asking you.
Speaker 11: Go pull that list, And it had one of the
Speaker 11: the people running, John fun was voting for John Cornyn.
Speaker 11: So well, I wouldn't get on that list because that's crazy, right,
Speaker 11: So that just shows you. I think there's an updated
Speaker 11: list out there that shows I have not First of all,
Speaker 11: I'm not determined, and I certainly haven't gone public other
Speaker 11: than saying I'm not determined. I'm listening to everybody and
Speaker 11: I'm looking for who's going to best support President Trump's agenda.
Speaker 1: Will you tell people how you vot? I don't like
Speaker 1: that it's a secret ballot. I'm sorry, I just don't.
Speaker 1: I don't trust government. It's not necessarily you, but yeah,
Speaker 1: don't let it be you. But like you, should it
Speaker 1: be secret over at the House. I get to see
Speaker 1: how that thing pans out. Or is that just because
Speaker 1: you know the Senate's always got to be different? But
Speaker 1: what is the Why is it secret? Shouldn't everybody know
Speaker 1: where you guys, where your head's at.
Speaker 11: I think kind of the goal is to come out unified,
Speaker 11: uh and say, even the leaders who get vote it out.
Speaker 11: And again you're going to have two people that don't win.
Speaker 11: I mean, unless somebody else jumps in the race. I
Speaker 11: don't see that happening. It might, but you've got to
Speaker 11: make sure there's no retribution to other members. They don't
Speaker 11: get stuffed in a broom closet and not able to
Speaker 11: help their home state. So I don't think they would,
Speaker 11: but I got to make sure there's no retribution for
Speaker 11: North Carolina, you know, or anybody has to protect their
Speaker 11: home state to make sure that they don't select somebody
Speaker 11: who doesn't ultimately win.
Speaker 1: What do you mean retribution if somebody up there is
Speaker 1: threatening North Coast This is the stuff that makes me
Speaker 1: so angry. If they're going to punish North Carolina because
Speaker 1: they don't get what you want. I want their name.
Speaker 1: I'm as powerful as you, but I have a bigger
Speaker 1: radio audience, and I'll be happy to we'll have fun
Speaker 1: with that. I got friends in other states too. I'm sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm just sick.
Speaker 7: Of this stuff.
Speaker 1: I just want I just want to finally run smoothly
Speaker 1: for five seconds because it's Kathy.
Speaker 11: Would it be a long distance call to call you
Speaker 11: in Wyoming or you know, Center South Dakota wherever you
Speaker 11: get moved to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know what you cant good? You know what?
Speaker 1: Wyoming wouldn't be bad. I know some people, but your
Speaker 1: younger generation want to know.
Speaker 11: Man, does your younger generation even know what a long
Speaker 11: distance call is? You know?
Speaker 1: It was funny if you go to Dulles Airport, which
Speaker 1: I happen to be in, they have payphones still up
Speaker 1: there because government efficiency, and it says free long distance
Speaker 1: call for five minutes. And I just thought that was
Speaker 1: funny because one there was a phone.
Speaker 11: It looks like I think that's the portal to like
Speaker 11: the like the men in Black or something.
Speaker 1: I'm assuming the Cia snatch you up man for fogyu
Speaker 1: guys obviously not from here, so but no, will you
Speaker 1: commit to say who you voted for or does does
Speaker 1: that cause problems? And if it does, why.
Speaker 11: It could call the problem?
Speaker 6: I saw it calls a problem two years ago.
Speaker 11: And I saw people that were trying to serve their
Speaker 11: home state that got yanked off of good committees that
Speaker 11: were helping to their state because they went a certain
Speaker 11: way in some of those votes. And I don't think
Speaker 11: that's great for their home state, and I don't want
Speaker 11: that to happen in North Carolina.
Speaker 1: So let's talk about other folks, including some of your colleagues.
Speaker 1: How do you mitigate the risk of snaw atching House
Speaker 1: members and Senate members in the case of Marco Rubio.
Speaker 1: And I'm curious your thoughts on that, where you guys
Speaker 1: just got your majorities or you bolstered your majorities, and
Speaker 1: now you're snatching people like Ali Stephonic and Zelden out
Speaker 1: of New York seats and Ruby now Ruby out of
Speaker 1: Florida the governor appoints. But you know, how do you
Speaker 1: mitigate any potential damage while still getting the best people?
Speaker 11: Well, remember Lee Zelden in particular great pick by the way,
Speaker 11: super smart, great veteran, will do wonderful at EPA, and
Speaker 11: you'll put the right people around him that are material,
Speaker 11: you know, experts in the in the various areas of
Speaker 11: the EPA. But he's not currently in office, so you're
Speaker 11: not losing there. He was in the House. I served
Speaker 11: with him for four or six years, and but I
Speaker 11: think you governor.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I was meaning Waltz Walts and then I
Speaker 1: was pointing out but yeah, okay.
Speaker 11: So with the House, it's always selected by the people,
Speaker 11: So the governor will set the date of the election,
Speaker 11: uh a special election to replace them. Now, in New York,
Speaker 11: that's a problem because they could they could kind of
Speaker 11: mess around with a date and make it long, so
Speaker 11: you have a long period without filling you know, filling
Speaker 11: that slot for at least stephoning. So you've got to
Speaker 11: watch local in New York, uh with the election date
Speaker 11: replacement issues. But in Florida, you've got a friendly enough
Speaker 11: relationship between DeSantis and Trump where and he they're all
Speaker 11: Republicans and they're going to say, you know what, We're
Speaker 11: going to move.
Speaker 6: A date as quickly as possible.
Speaker 11: So that's fine. Now, that's the House shouldn't be a
Speaker 11: problem with the House member there. Now with the Senate,
Speaker 11: the governor gets to appoint the replacement. And that's why
Speaker 11: anybody that I mean this is likely anybody that Trump
Speaker 11: uh selects from the Senate, he'll make sure he's got
Speaker 11: a good relationship with that state's governor. And you've got
Speaker 11: to get in that relationship with DeSantis. So I think,
Speaker 11: like with Waltz, it will be a House issue, so
Speaker 11: it's an election date issue.
Speaker 6: But with Ruvio, it will be.
Speaker 11: An appointment from that governor directly to the Senate. And
Speaker 11: then who ever's I think Rubyo was up in twenty two,
Speaker 11: so this person will have to run in twenty six
Speaker 11: and then run until they're fully you know, kind of
Speaker 11: in sync with their their seats cycle.
Speaker 6: Sorry for the details.
Speaker 1: What do you think of the Rubio pick? How well
Speaker 1: do you how well do you know Mark and Marco?
Speaker 1: Excuse me? And you think that do you think that
Speaker 1: it undermines his ability to do things? Because when I
Speaker 1: think of Marco Rubio, the words little Marco come to mind,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure other countries are aware of this.
Speaker 11: Well, you don't want to be on the wrong side
Speaker 11: of President Trump. He's so he's such a great campaigner.
Speaker 11: And I was with him, you know, all over North Carolina.
Speaker 11: And then the last time I was there, the last
Speaker 11: big rally he did in North Carolina, was there in
Speaker 11: Raleigh at Dorton Arena, like at the State Fairgrounds, and
Speaker 11: he had Marco Rubio with him, like they're for at
Speaker 11: the very end, you know.
Speaker 6: That's when he did that big four rallies a day put.
Speaker 1: He did have Middordan, You're right, yeah, yeah, So he.
Speaker 11: Was there, and so that's a great sign that you know,
Speaker 11: they're having discussions should he win, which we knew, you know,
Speaker 11: at like at three am the next that night. You know,
Speaker 11: they were probably having discussions on the plane.
Speaker 5: Who knew.
Speaker 11: You never want to take these things for granted, but
Speaker 11: I think Marco would do a great job. He's Chair
Speaker 11: of Senate Intel right now.
Speaker 6: I think he'll do great.
Speaker 11: One of the things I noticed on a trip last
Speaker 11: year was how in the Biden administration and prior with
Speaker 11: the Obama administration, there was such us neglect to our south.
Speaker 11: We were looking east and West, China, Taiwan, Ukraine, all
Speaker 11: these things, but nobody was looking at the threats to
Speaker 11: the south, China playing in our back door through Cuba,
Speaker 11: other influences in Brazil. So we've got to pay attention
Speaker 11: to the south. I think Rubio will not only looked
Speaker 11: east west to.
Speaker 6: Those threats, He'll also have a great ability to look
Speaker 6: to our south.
Speaker 11: And you know, whether it's securing our border and dealing
Speaker 11: with Mexico, or whether it be dealing with Latin American
Speaker 11: countries right as our next door neighbors.
Speaker 1: Oh, because his name's Marco Rubio, is that what you mean.
Speaker 11: He's fluent in Spanish. You know, he's got the Cuban descentive.
Speaker 11: He's so valued freedom, and I've got great trust in him.
Speaker 6: I think I'll do a good job.
Speaker 1: All right, last question on that front. I like Tom Homan.
Speaker 1: I don't have to work with Tom Holman, but I
Speaker 1: got to know him during our radio rows, the guy
Speaker 1: that's say pitbull Man. What do you think of Tom Holman?
Speaker 1: You have in sixty days to start getting things in order.
Speaker 1: You think he'll do it.
Speaker 11: He's exactly what we need. And I just really like
Speaker 11: what Trump's doing.
Speaker 6: He's so decisive and he knows what he needs.
Speaker 11: I mean, he saw what he saw what worked in
Speaker 11: twenty sixteen. In the four years following, he saw it
Speaker 11: didn't work, and so I think his picks are as good,
Speaker 11: are so much better than last time, and I really
Speaker 11: like where he's headed.
Speaker 1: Okay, I just remind her of the TikTok astrologists say
Speaker 1: that Kamal is still going to win it because the
Speaker 1: planets are misaligned, so things may change here in a week.
Speaker 1: I love idiots.
Speaker 11: Man to pull that up on my government computer. Oh
Speaker 11: it's been blocked.
Speaker 1: Sorry, all right, thank you very much, senator. We appreciate it,
Speaker 1: and let's try and talk, you know, like once every
Speaker 1: couple weeks leading up to it, if we can, please,
Speaker 1: because there's.
Speaker 11: Any astrology thing on TikTok, sure.
Speaker 1: We can do that or whatever. And we're gonna have
Speaker 1: to get into some hurricane stuff here pretty quick too,
Speaker 1: because this femous stuff is crazy. We're just out of time.
Speaker 1: But thank you so much. Appreciate it, my man. All right,
Speaker 1: there you go, Senator Ted Budd, who I just called
Speaker 1: my man, so maybe I I'm sure he'll be okay
Speaker 1: with that. So anyway, we'll be back. Henga. We got
Speaker 1: to cancel some stuff. I don't want to do it.
Speaker 1: We're going to do it. Unfortunately, it's just the way
Speaker 1: that it is. Although to be fair, well, let me
Speaker 1: get my taker Bill here. To be fair, some of
Speaker 1: the stuff we're going to be canceling you might be
Speaker 1: okay with, but we still got to use the bell
Speaker 1: because rules is rules. Just like the Senate with their
Speaker 1: tradition of secret votes, we have our traditions around these parts.
Speaker 1: So AnyWho, all right, Number one? So yesterday I'm scrolling around,
Speaker 1: I'm looking and I kind of got sidetracked earlier. I
Speaker 1: know you're shocked, but I was looking to see how
Speaker 1: different news outlets covered things and if they covered some stuff,
Speaker 1: which is something I do and it's really nerdy, but
Speaker 1: it helps to inform me. And that's why I can
Speaker 1: come on the radio and be like, can you believe
Speaker 1: such and such outlet isn't even talking about this?
Speaker 7: Right?
Speaker 1: You gotta look, You can't just assume. So I was
Speaker 1: looking to see if Ril was covering some stuff and
Speaker 1: on Twitter, and the other reason is is then if
Speaker 1: they have the story and they've tweeted it, I can
Speaker 1: then tweet comments over and include links or graphics above it.
Speaker 1: If you know how Twitter works, you know what I'm saying,
Speaker 1: if I got to put a link in there, it
Speaker 1: becomes more difficult to embed maybe video or stuff with it.
Speaker 1: So I wanted to see if ral I'm dreaming here
Speaker 1: had touched a couple stories so that I could use that,
Speaker 1: so I also don't have to embed my own link,
Speaker 1: which roster we still have the opinion that if you
Speaker 1: embed a link versus media, the algorithm is less favorable.
Speaker 1: Is that still the general consensus? Or do you pay
Speaker 1: attention to this stuff?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: So links are bad. Media is good. So if I
Speaker 1: can find where you tweeted a link, I don't know
Speaker 1: exactly how it impacts a quote tweet, but if I
Speaker 1: just put media in there, like a photo or a
Speaker 1: video to rebut it, So that's what I prefer. Playing
Speaker 1: the game and I start scrolling back, I'm like, what
Speaker 1: what is going on here? Like where's all the pollop?
Speaker 1: And then I realized they haven't tweeted anything since last
Speaker 1: week a week ago. Nothing. And just to be clear,
Speaker 1: this isn't a throwaway account. Wral has four hundred and
Speaker 1: sixty thousand followers. They're halfway to a free blue check
Speaker 1: mark four hundred and sixty thousand, as best I can hell,
Speaker 1: it's probably. It's no. I shouldn't say it's probably because
Speaker 1: we know what we know on average, how people engage
Speaker 1: on both Twitter and other socials. It's it's hands down
Speaker 1: gotta be their biggest reach. It doesn't mean people necessarily engage,
Speaker 1: but eyeballs are seeing it. I follow Ario a lot
Speaker 1: of you do. I follow them for a work thing.
Speaker 1: I see them all the time, and so I start
Speaker 1: looking and it says, you know, it says like five days,
Speaker 1: six days since the last post, and none of it's about.
Speaker 1: None of it is the election results. They pulled the
Speaker 1: rip chord or something's going on. So I thought, well,
Speaker 1: maybe they had maybe their social media manager left or
Speaker 1: whoever handled I don't know how they assign it. And
Speaker 1: so right now they're just not doing social because they're
Speaker 1: prioritizing other stuff. Because I'm fair and I want to
Speaker 1: know what's going on, So I start going to their
Speaker 1: other socials. They're posting away, man, good stuff you know,
Speaker 1: are important? Stuff not important? So you know the stuff
Speaker 1: you put on social just like I do. They're throwing
Speaker 1: up what I'm a little smart here, there's more straight news,
Speaker 1: but they're putting it out there all the weather stuff
Speaker 1: which gets good clickthroughs, by the way, on social, and
Speaker 1: I understand why they do it. You can't, you cannot,
Speaker 1: you cannot. Yes, I was at the Dublin or you know,
Speaker 1: it's very sad, sir, that many of you know the
Speaker 1: exact Irish restaurant I was at. Bar I was telling
Speaker 1: you I was at, and I didn't even say the
Speaker 1: name talk to somebody anyway. So so anyway, I'm I'm
Speaker 1: sitting there and I'm like, okay, well they're still posting
Speaker 1: on the other social, they're not posting on ral. Did
Speaker 1: they take their ball and go home? So then I
Speaker 1: thought I'm gonna go because I follow a bunch of
Speaker 1: Ril's reporters, and it's harder for me when they when
Speaker 1: they lock their account or freeze their account, because if
Speaker 1: you know, when you see where it says, only people
Speaker 1: who are mentioned in this post or who are confirmed
Speaker 1: followers can comment. I've been followers back and forth, and
Speaker 1: I've interacted with enough RAO people. Generally I don't see
Speaker 1: that if they if they freeze hers, So thank you
Speaker 1: to some of you who are then posting where like
Speaker 1: Laura Leslie had her she had kind of froze her Twitter.
Speaker 1: Now the other reporters were still a lot of them
Speaker 1: are still tweeting. But I also noticed something else in
Speaker 1: the header, where you know you write things, Sometimes Ross
Speaker 1: writes things without telling me. I'm just looking to make
Speaker 1: sure Nope looks good. Just as host Morning six nine.
Speaker 1: If you look at the header of their Twitter, it's
Speaker 1: driving people to blue Sky and blue Sky abbreviated BS,
Speaker 1: which I think is great is the current awe. It's
Speaker 1: the parlor of the left and the current off ramp
Speaker 1: so that they have a crisp, clear echo chamber to
Speaker 1: go scream in. So and then people are on Twitter
Speaker 1: using the largesse of Twitter to promote people to go there.
Speaker 1: And and with all of those pieces, I am left
Speaker 1: with zero other conclusions. Then Ral had a tantrum and
Speaker 1: left Twitter. And if I'm wrong, I will let you know.
Speaker 1: But with the evidence that I've just laid out, stopping
Speaker 1: tweeting on a five hundred thousand person account four hundred
Speaker 1: and sixty thousand, changing headers to drive people, hey, come
Speaker 1: join me on blue Sky, and still tweeting on the
Speaker 1: other social media, what am I to think? And then
Speaker 1: you really is somebody who's in this business that is insane,
Speaker 1: and it's insane because you're throwing four hundred and sixty
Speaker 1: thousand followers down the drain. And with modern media, maybe
Speaker 1: not TV as much as newspaper having to adjust and
Speaker 1: adapt and find new ways to bring in money, and
Speaker 1: digital is a huge thing. I can't tell you the
Speaker 1: number of time ross have we ever sat in a
Speaker 1: meeting where somebody doesn't bring up digital revenue. It doesn't
Speaker 1: exist now in the past ten years. No, it's it
Speaker 1: is a it is a wildly important component and it's
Speaker 1: a component that is live or die for people that
Speaker 1: work in this industry because are we have salespeople who
Speaker 1: digital is all they do. So in digital can be websites,
Speaker 1: but it also is podcasting for us and all that,
Speaker 1: and Ral's got their own way that they do it.
Speaker 1: So for the TV station of record, or at the
Speaker 1: very least the high the one that generally although ABC
Speaker 1: eleven does kind of kick him in some day parts,
Speaker 1: but one of the top tier stations, just go I
Speaker 1: don't want to talk to those people anymore because for
Speaker 1: the most part, you would post stuff and a lot
Speaker 1: of people wouldn't engage with it. But if you posted
Speaker 1: one of your insane op eds or I don't know
Speaker 1: a cartoon of a lieutenant governor dressed in a clan row.
Speaker 1: People had some thoughts and you you are a legendary
Speaker 1: regardless of what you think of w L wr L
Speaker 1: is a legendary media fixture. It was the Jesse Helms station.
Speaker 1: It was it was a lot of things. There's a
Speaker 1: lot of officials and Dan Leba not leb Attardi. It's
Speaker 1: got it's a really long like people that many of
Speaker 1: you who are from North Carolina grew up with. And
Speaker 1: maybe you've watched that transition, maybe you have some fought,
Speaker 1: maybe you love RIL right now. But to walk away
Speaker 1: from a half million people. If I'm an advertiser and
Speaker 1: it depends what your component is and you are willingly
Speaker 1: sacrificing impressions as we call them to make a political point,
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think of that.
Speaker 4: Let's be honest. If you're a quote journalist and you're
Speaker 4: throwing a tantrum and crying over election results, you're not
Speaker 4: a journalist.
Speaker 1: Well, and I want to say I want to say this,
Speaker 1: I don't know how the staff of RIL feels about
Speaker 1: the idea that they're not posting if in fact, that
Speaker 1: is a conscious decision, you know what I'm saying. So
Speaker 1: I'm going to be fairer than they would ever be.
Speaker 1: I don't know how Laura Leslie, who's one of the
Speaker 1: accounts that I saw with the blue Sky thing, or
Speaker 1: any of the maybe they think it's dumb too, and
Speaker 1: and so yes, But at the end of the day,
Speaker 1: if you're the head of it journalism, you're still a journalist.
Speaker 1: You're just on the on the the executive side of it.
Speaker 1: I don't know what to think. So my my thing
Speaker 1: to you is because I want to be accurate. If
Speaker 1: that's accurate, that's insane, that's crazy, And I'll just little me.
Speaker 1: Just get that for you're gonna need that in a bit.
Speaker 1: But if you see r L on Twitter, for all
Speaker 1: the Twitter folks, if you see them posting fresh stuff,
Speaker 1: hit me, just email me your message, mere tag me. Okay,
Speaker 1: And I'm very very curious. So that's number one. Number
Speaker 1: two Disney's Hall of Presidents. Now technically it will be
Speaker 1: early next year when it actually closes. Disney has announced
Speaker 1: they're closing the Hall of Presidents. Some Okay, what I.
Speaker 4: Thought you were gonna say that? Like the their latest
Speaker 4: Trump one was like a black.
Speaker 1: Ee, don't you dare, don't you dare, don't you do?
Speaker 1: Don't you dare? Don't you dare? You're not stealing this one.
Speaker 1: Frobby didn't talk about this. No. Now, it's one thing
Speaker 1: when they deliver the Hillary animatronic and you throw a
Speaker 1: Trump wig on it, and I just tweeted out, by
Speaker 1: the way, a video of right up on that thing.
Speaker 1: You can't tell me that's not Hillary. You can't tell me.
Speaker 1: Disney didn't have their imagineers or whatever they call them,
Speaker 1: put the you know, the the Hillary cyborg together and went,
Speaker 1: oh crap, put a yellow wig on it. That's a
Speaker 1: lot harder when it's a Harris animatronic. Is that what
Speaker 1: you're thinking? Yes, yes, so I was hoping the story
Speaker 1: was gonna be Ah, it's not. That's not what they said.
Speaker 1: So no, it's about as a little. Things are a
Speaker 1: little contentious right now. But also you don't have to
Speaker 1: make another one. Is there two Grover Cleveland's in there?
Speaker 1: Do we know? Is there two Grover Cleveland's? There's probably
Speaker 1: just one? Right, I got I've never asked myself this.
Speaker 1: I've never been to the Hall of President's. I don't
Speaker 1: know the answer to that. I've just seen where they're
Speaker 1: all standing up there like you don't have to do anything.
Speaker 1: So also, are you taking your ball and going home
Speaker 1: to you absolute lunatics? Also, can I have the Harrison
Speaker 1: animatronic use it to like for Halloween decorations or maybe
Speaker 1: put a Santa outfit around Christmas and anime like? I
Speaker 1: hate for that to be a waste, but please God
Speaker 1: let that be the reason. Because they announced it right
Speaker 1: after the election. So there you go. All right, Oh wait,
Speaker 1: hold on one more little cancel bell while we get
Speaker 1: rastagic from the weather channel here, Who better give us
Speaker 1: a good forecast or we'll cancel him?
Speaker 5: That's up.
Speaker 7: I gotta go.
Speaker 1: I'm just letting you know.
Speaker 12: Sorry, Yeah, I got some good weather next few days.
Speaker 12: Most of the areas of fog around gone, a few
Speaker 12: clouds of the wise blue sky. Mid sixties today, upper
Speaker 12: fifties tomorrow, so cooler day tomorrow. We're going to wake
Speaker 12: up in the thirties, So certainly that may require a
Speaker 12: maybe different layer, maybe different jackets. Some rain Thursday after
Speaker 12: it into Thursday night. Sun will be back Friday sun
Speaker 12: for the weekend with milder tempters. Thursday is going to
Speaker 12: be a cool day only in the fifties, but back
Speaker 12: into the sixties, maybe seventy by early next week in
Speaker 12: the triangle. And Casey, do you have an area of
Speaker 12: disturbed weather in the Caribbean could move north next week?
Speaker 12: Some could be talking about in the tropics.
Speaker 1: Can you have the Haitian shoot at it so it
Speaker 1: doesn't well?
Speaker 7: All right, you know that would be the hope, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I know Floridians are not supposed to shoot at hurricanes,
Speaker 1: but you know, maybe the laws are different there. All right, thanks, man,
Speaker 1: appreciate it. That's right. I'm going to create jobs in
Speaker 1: Haiti and we're just gonna have them shoot at hurricanes.
Speaker 1: Hey man, why not build stone walls in Ireland? Shoot
Speaker 1: a hurricane, James in Haiti. We do what we do.
Speaker 1: We'll be back with Jeff Bellinger. Hang out out with
Speaker 1: Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening? Well morning, Casey.

Speaker 13: good butter.
Speaker 1: Tell them, why tell them? Why tell them?
Speaker 6: Why?
Speaker 1: That's right?
Speaker 13: The label doesn't mention that the product contains milk.
Speaker 1: We're so stupid. We're all just collectively, we're just you
Speaker 1: know what. I saw some people trying to pivot and
Speaker 1: they're like, oh, well, they'll just they'll repackage it. I'm like,
Speaker 1: they're recalling it for people's how people have eaten that
Speaker 1: and probably realized there's milk in there? So did you
Speaker 1: did you have before you read that story? I'm sorry
