Speaker 1: I literally was sitting there and I could not advance
Speaker 1: this morning because you know, somebody's like, ah, I could
Speaker 1: you know, I could do the full speed and uh
Speaker 1: in my car that doesn't have front wheel drive or
Speaker 1: four wheel drive. So seriously, be careful out there this morning.
Speaker 1: That is all I'm going to say. Okay, not because
Speaker 1: I don't trust your ability to go ahead and drive. Sorry,
Speaker 1: I'm literally move because I'm on a secondary microphone because
Speaker 1: for some reason, my main one is disconnected. Oh what
Speaker 1: a morning? What a morning. That's okay, we'll go ahead
Speaker 1: and we're going to truck right through this thing. Uh,
Speaker 1: do not Ross? How is the commune I'm in? Just
Speaker 1: for everyone. I am in Greensboro in the Greensboro studio.
Speaker 1: Ross is in the Raleigh studio. He sent me a
Speaker 1: photo yesterday because I asked him. I'm like, how is
Speaker 1: it over in in wake Forest where he lives, and
Speaker 1: he sent me a photo that I'm almost sure is
Speaker 1: the ice wall for the flat Earth people, and not
Speaker 1: the actual amount of snowfall in wake Forest, which would
Speaker 1: require a glacier. But I don't know for sure.
Speaker 2: So you know what the funny thing is?
Speaker 3: Yesterday on the weather app there, which it was like
Speaker 3: no snow, no snow, no snow, no snow. And then
Speaker 3: suddenly it was like, hey, you're gonna get like four
Speaker 3: hours of snow. So I woke up this morning like
Speaker 3: an hour early to come to work right right, right clean.
Speaker 3: After car everything's fine. The road's in wake Forest and
Speaker 3: like Wakefield leading into Raleigh, like you can't see the road.
Speaker 3: It's sort of like I think, I think I'm on
Speaker 3: the road and I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna make
Speaker 3: sure i'm gonna I'm driving the appropriate speed and I'm
Speaker 3: gonna make sure my braking is okay. And then when
Speaker 3: you cross over like past five forty Downfalls of Noose,
Speaker 3: right when you get that that that exit there, suddenly
Speaker 3: you can see the road.
Speaker 1: It was like it's like South Carolina.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah. When you're driving, you're driving, you're like, oh, this
Speaker 1: interstate is Interstate E. This is now? Oh my god,
Speaker 1: what happened? And then you're in South Carolina. Yeah.
Speaker 3: No, certain portions of it. You still had to like,
Speaker 3: you know, be careful right when you're right, be careful.
Speaker 3: And the side roads are still bad. But like Atlantic
Speaker 3: was fine, falls, the news was fine. The parking light
Speaker 3: here at the radio station was all sort of messed up,
Speaker 3: so it's like where you want to park so you
Speaker 3: can leave at the end of the show because I
Speaker 3: don't feel like sleeping here, right, Yeah, all that kind
Speaker 3: of stuff. But it was super weird because driving from
Speaker 3: wake Forest through Wakefield, it was like, this is bad.
Speaker 1: It was uh So I left my so I'm broadcasting
Speaker 1: in Greensboro, uh or more specifically our studios at high Point.
Speaker 1: I left the hotel that I stay at in high
Speaker 1: Point and uh last night at eight to go to
Speaker 1: uh well, I tried. I was trying to go to
Speaker 1: the Wendy's down the street, like this is not fine dining.
Speaker 1: I was seeking and the McDonald's and the Wendy's nearest
Speaker 1: the hotel were closed. And this was at eight. Found
Speaker 1: the McDonald's over on sixty eight on east Chester was
Speaker 1: open and it was hard to see. This morning, I
Speaker 1: woke up and I'm like, I can see the roads.
Speaker 1: Looks okay, there's no more snow. The on the suv.
Speaker 1: It's gonna be fine. But then I realized right as
Speaker 1: I got towards the radio station, some of you suck
Speaker 1: at driving. You know who you are well, I mean legally,
Speaker 1: if I pulled the thing, we actually have names. But
Speaker 1: like it was worse last night, and yet this morning
Speaker 1: they're like, nah, you can't drive over here. So I
Speaker 1: ended up having to do this, like this weird roundabout
Speaker 1: I made it with like I don't know, two minutes
Speaker 1: into the station, and that's and and and that's slightly
Speaker 1: on me. But there's like a window where I go
Speaker 1: through all of these websites in the morning and I uh,
Speaker 1: I you know, so whatever you have, be careful, Okay,
Speaker 1: just be careful. Plans some extra minutes, or be in
Speaker 1: a situation where it's not the end of the world
Speaker 1: if you're a little late. Okay, all right, rock on.
Speaker 1: That's where we're gonna be. I sa I literally I
Speaker 1: have nothing booted up other than my microphone because it's
Speaker 1: just that kind of morning. But uh, you know, we'll, we'll,
Speaker 1: we'll truck through. There's lots to get to coming up
Speaker 1: on the show. H'm I'm done, I'm I have I
Speaker 1: have no more energy. I'm literally I I am going
Speaker 1: to offer myself up as a tribute to get rid
Speaker 1: of Tom tillis I I I'm I can't with this guy. Anymore.
Speaker 1: I'm just out. And you know, frankly, I'm gonna I
Speaker 1: will compromise my own rules. And I'm ross you've known
Speaker 1: me for over a decade. I'm not your political activist host. Correct,
Speaker 1: that is correct, that is a hundred I'm willing to
Speaker 1: be that guy. I'm just done, you know why, because
Speaker 1: I'm having so much friggin fun right now with all
Speaker 1: of the things that are available to fix and handle
Speaker 1: and do, and I will not have that garbage human
Speaker 1: standing in the way. So if I have to compromise
Speaker 1: myself to accomplish it, I'm willing to do it. And
Speaker 1: I and I didn't. I didn't just jump on this.
Speaker 1: I had an amazing nap yesterday because that is the
Speaker 1: one thing that is the one thing that this kind
Speaker 1: of weather will provide for you, amazing napping conditions. And
Speaker 1: so it is post snap as I'm sitting there and
Speaker 1: I'm getting ready to put show prep together, I'm just like,
Speaker 1: I'm done. What can I do?
Speaker 4: And I.
Speaker 1: Realize that it's in a way I'm offering myself for tribute.
Speaker 1: Maybe not in the way it means in the movie,
Speaker 1: but you understand, Okay.
Speaker 3: I've never known you because yeah, we have like fifteen
Speaker 3: years or something. I've never known you to be right
Speaker 3: to vote for this, dude. Don't vote for this dude.
Speaker 3: You've never done it ever, ever.
Speaker 2: But you saw the tweets. I just not seen the tweets.
Speaker 2: I can't.
Speaker 1: I can't anymore. I refuse to allow the cancer that
Speaker 1: is Tom Tillis to f up this window, this opportunity.
Speaker 1: And it's not because I necessarily. Here's the thing, there
Speaker 1: are parts of me that agree with Tom tillis his
Speaker 1: take on some of the JA sixers. This is what's crazy.
Speaker 1: We're not far off, but he's such a garbage piece
Speaker 1: of garbage, which is a new phrase I just invented.
Speaker 1: I can't anymore. And I refuse to sit here and
Speaker 1: let n see GOP. People go, well, if you say
Speaker 1: something and he gets in and the Democrat gets in,
Speaker 1: it's on you. No, it's not on me. It's on you.
Speaker 1: That's your boy, and you didn't wrangle your boy, you
Speaker 1: didn't handle your boy, So screw that. So I'll give
Speaker 1: you the terms of this and we'll go from there,
Speaker 1: and then we'll talk about fun stuff and unfun stuff,
Speaker 1: and I don't care. But I'm just done I'm absolutely
Speaker 1: and deal with Adam Schiff and his people trying to
Speaker 1: crap all over this and trying to stop it. I
Speaker 1: recognize that I will not deal with a member of
Speaker 1: the gop let alone, a Senator or a congressman from
Speaker 1: the state of North Carolina. It will not happen. It's done.
Speaker 1: That person needs fired into the sun. Okay, we're done.
Speaker 1: And if that means that I got to sit here
Speaker 1: and I have to associate myself, not because I mind individuals,
Speaker 1: but because it's a if I have to compromise my
Speaker 1: own rules, I will do that, and I will do
Speaker 1: that because I'm in a position to do that. Does
Speaker 1: that make sense, I'll explain the details. Okay, it's six
Speaker 1: point fifteen. Thank god, the equipment's working. Thank god. Ross
Speaker 1: got a pardon yesterday. I saw that, buddy, Is that
Speaker 1: you gotta pardon? Yes? Say good for you, Good for you.
Speaker 2: I was super excited. I was like, I don't know
Speaker 2: what it's for, but yeah.
Speaker 1: Yeah, mister Ross, Uh is your real name? Ulbrich? I didn't.
Speaker 1: I didn't know. Sometimes the radio people use different days.
Speaker 1: I don't know. We'll research it, we'll figure it out,
Speaker 1: we'll do it. Coming up hang on my coffee final Sorry,
Speaker 1: it was an emergency, had to go make coffee. And
Speaker 1: then the thing was like, dah, we don't want to
Speaker 1: work this morning, and then uh, you know, here we be.
Speaker 1: So I just I hit my breaking point yesterday. And
Speaker 1: it would have been great if it was you know,
Speaker 1: I went out and was bar hopping with friends and
Speaker 1: just you know, posted like a drunk tweet or text
Speaker 1: or anything. But I didn't. I stewed yesterday. I sat
Speaker 1: there because the weather was coming in. I'm broadcasting in
Speaker 1: our Greensboro facility this morning, so we're all week and
Speaker 1: just chilling, and I just I hit a breaking point
Speaker 1: sitting here and watching what is supposed to be the
Speaker 1: GOP elected. Now, I just want to point out I
Speaker 1: am not a member of the party. It probably wouldn't
Speaker 1: let me in, as I've spent so many minutes on
Speaker 1: the radio imploring people not to send them money when
Speaker 1: they do stupid stuff. That being said, as I sat
Speaker 1: there yesterday and I recognized the opportunity that we have
Speaker 1: and let me And I haven't hit ross with this ross.
Speaker 1: What is your level of excitement for the first, let's
Speaker 1: just say month of the Trump thing in the fire
Speaker 1: hose concept that we talked about yesterday, where it's just
Speaker 1: there's so many things screwed up. There's so many things
Speaker 1: unusual with this last administration up to and including the
Speaker 1: fact that the president frankly wasn't presidenting where you recognize
Speaker 1: you gotta go ahead, and you gotta get this stuff
Speaker 1: in there, and and and and anything that stands in
Speaker 1: the way is essentially seen as an Adam Schiff. How
Speaker 1: what's your excitement level for this too? Overwhelm the system
Speaker 1: with common sense, if you had, if you had to,
Speaker 1: if you had to pick, because that's where I'm at,
Speaker 1: That's where I'm I'm sitting here, and I'm just like
Speaker 1: hit them with everything because they so deviated from what
Speaker 1: you know, the normal human stuff as recognized within the
Speaker 1: within the election. That is that's one of the things
Speaker 1: that is very exciting to me. And so then I
Speaker 1: have to ask myself, Okay, so what's standing in the way,
Speaker 1: And you know, and Adam Schiff coming out and going
Speaker 1: elon did a Nazi salute, and so and so is
Speaker 1: saying this, Pete hegg Seth, we we just got a letter.
Speaker 1: We just got a letter, and this is all It's
Speaker 1: so horrible and uh, Pam BONDI the AG. We don't
Speaker 1: want to have an AG, so we're gonna pause her
Speaker 1: hearing for seven days. You're facing all of that, and
Speaker 1: I can deal with all of that because I expect
Speaker 1: all of that. And then I see Tom Tillis in
Speaker 1: a hallway pretending like this thing with the J sixers
Speaker 1: is a big problem for him because cops and that
Speaker 1: son of a bitch, we'll get one of those in
Speaker 1: do not dump that. I haven't heard a peep from
Speaker 1: him over the fact that the former president or the
Speaker 1: people around him were pardoning and lessening sentences for people
Speaker 1: who did things like I don't know, killed two FBI officers,
Speaker 1: killed children, torture children in front of parents before killing them,
Speaker 1: going back to the commutations of the death row inmates, like,
Speaker 1: I haven't heard the passion, and I'm just done. I've
Speaker 1: had a seating hatred for the attitude that I've seen
Speaker 1: from so many Washington politicians, and I don't allow myself
Speaker 1: to give into activism, but on this one occasion, I will.
Speaker 1: If the North Carolina GP does not withdraw their support
Speaker 1: from Tom tillis my only hobby for the next two years,
Speaker 1: is carving in to your roughly one hundred thousand or
Speaker 1: eighteen thousand, depending on which race margin. And I can
Speaker 1: do that standing on my head with the ratings and
Speaker 1: the following we have here. You're done. That's it. And
Speaker 1: if I'm done and I'm wrong, then so be it.
Speaker 1: We're done. He's done, he needs to go. He's out
Speaker 1: because your alternative and you will sit here and you
Speaker 1: will blame me for it. Is that. Well, you're gonna
Speaker 1: cost us a seat. No, I'm giving you two years notice.
Speaker 1: You get rid of him, and you get somebody in here.
Speaker 1: Use somebody in here who's just not a giant, vile
Speaker 1: piece of garbage. Okay, at least he's not a right Cooper,
Speaker 1: which is what a lot of people think. That's why
Speaker 1: I'm giving two years notice. There's no excuse. Okay, giving
Speaker 1: two years notice the North Carolina And here is the
Speaker 1: offer I'm willing to serve up. I am willing to
Speaker 1: compromise my own rules. Okay, if the North Carolina GOP
Speaker 1: will excommunicate Tom Tillis and say, you know what, this
Speaker 1: is not the guy. We're gonna get the guy, and
Speaker 1: we're gonna win what is obviously gonna be a hard
Speaker 1: fought battle. Yes, I know we're going against Roy Cooper,
Speaker 1: but we can't have a piece of garbage in there anymore.
Speaker 1: I will indorse your candidate post vetting. I mean, like
Speaker 1: it was Freddy Krueger. I'm not going to. And I've
Speaker 1: never endorsed a candidate. Ross. Have I ever endorsed a
Speaker 1: candidate ever in the time that you've worked with me,
Speaker 1: which is over a decade. He's shaking his head.
Speaker 2: I have not.
Speaker 1: I will. That's crazy town. I swore I would never
Speaker 1: do that, but I refuse to miss this window of
Speaker 1: opportunity to rectify what has been a bastardization of how
Speaker 1: we do things in this country. I'm angry, and I
Speaker 1: just want to have fun. I just want to talk
Speaker 1: about Lauren Sanchez's boobs and Mark Zuckerberg's inability to look away.
Speaker 1: Dudes love boobs, breaking news this morning, That's what I
Speaker 1: want to talk I want to talk about Ross Olbrich
Speaker 1: getting a pardon. But you know, Ross being Ross, you
Speaker 1: know having fun that it's him. That's what I want
Speaker 1: to talk about. But I refuse, and I have not
Speaker 1: gone there on the offense of this guy. And I
Speaker 1: firmly believe he's such a piece of garbage that people
Speaker 1: around him will attempt to come after me, and I
Speaker 1: don't care. Trust me, I have a a bit of
Speaker 1: buffering that I've created for myself. What is that way?
Speaker 1: Hold up? Boston Paul is a Boston Paul. Get on
Speaker 1: the winning team.
Speaker 5: Bro.
Speaker 1: You sound like you're having your period. You know what?
Speaker 1: Who cares? I've just done. I was so angry sitting there,
Speaker 1: and I don't allow myself to get over that side
Speaker 1: of it without a little bit of humor there. The
Speaker 1: humor is gone because I recognize that we are in
Speaker 1: a precarious window right now. We're in a precarious window
Speaker 1: right now, and I refuse to have Tom Tillis set up,
Speaker 1: Slender Man or anybody else impede this. We could have
Speaker 1: gone on if you would have just shut up for
Speaker 1: like three months. But I don't care anymore. So I'm
Speaker 1: bypassing you because you're not going to learn. And I
Speaker 1: am imploring the State GOP, and I am imploring my
Speaker 1: listeners to reach out to the State GOP Liz chaining
Speaker 1: him and move on. That's it, And if you do that,
Speaker 1: I will aid you in your effort to get people
Speaker 1: in there who either can shut up and help or
Speaker 1: better be you know, a more expanded part of the solution.
Speaker 1: That's it. I'll come your stupid event, not call it stupid.
Speaker 1: I won't smile because I don't ros. He will tell
Speaker 1: you I don't smile. I won't smile, but I'll say
Speaker 1: nice things and we will get it done together. But
Speaker 1: you have one thing you have to do. You have
Speaker 1: to get rid of him. And I'm a little low CD,
Speaker 1: which is really weird because I'm simultaneously OCD on things
Speaker 1: I like and super procrastinator on other things. He's done.
Speaker 1: It's over, it's gone. It's a failed experiment. He failed
Speaker 1: Upward for so many years. Screw him. He's out. And
Speaker 1: you can either fall in line with this or I
Speaker 1: got two years. You don't think I can shave his
Speaker 1: margin of victory with the amount of audience an influence
Speaker 1: that we have built on this show. I promise you
Speaker 1: I can, which is why people advertise on this show,
Speaker 1: because we are so effective in reaching so many people.
Speaker 1: I can't get into details on the air of our ratings,
Speaker 1: so I will say this, and I want to be
Speaker 1: very delicate. Ross have you ever worked in a show
Speaker 1: environment that has the insane ratings and reach that we.
Speaker 2: Have right now at this moment.
Speaker 1: No ever, no never, And that is an under exact
Speaker 1: And I'm not dragging or Ross can do whatever he wants.
Speaker 1: I just want to point out this is me. You
Speaker 1: have no idea and I'm not this guy, and you've
Speaker 1: made me this guy.
Speaker 3: I mean, you know, I you know my position on
Speaker 3: Tom Tail for a long time, Like my initial impression
Speaker 3: was you can't trust to Tom who spells his name
Speaker 3: Tom was.
Speaker 2: From the beginning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, yeah, I called him slender man dude. So
Speaker 3: you know where I'm at.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm just done, you know why, because it's it's
Speaker 1: not even if he was just being an a hole
Speaker 1: to be an a hole, it is one moment. We'd
Speaker 1: move on and we talk about it. But I'm so
Speaker 1: there is such an opportunity here. You've radicalized me and
Speaker 1: maybe I'll get over it, but not on this issue.
Speaker 1: Gone done, it's over, Or you can work against me.
Speaker 1: I don't care, you know why, because I have nothing
Speaker 1: to lose. You explained to me how Roy Cooper, who
Speaker 1: a lot of people think is going to be any
Speaker 1: different than the way that this guy's operating, and then
Speaker 1: ask your self, why won't the ncg OP, having two
Speaker 1: years notice, do something about it. That's it, that's my morning,
Speaker 1: that's my goal. And some of you are not gonna
Speaker 1: like me over it because you want the path of
Speaker 1: least resistance. But stand for something or stand for nothing.
Speaker 1: Those are your choices. So by giving this level of
Speaker 1: notice and and this amount of time, fix it, do something.
Speaker 1: Sitting here and going I can't believe they did that.
Speaker 1: I can't believe that. Uh uh, these pardons with the
Speaker 1: Jay sixers. I've already had an adult conversation, and I
Speaker 1: would I would have been willing to have one, but
Speaker 1: I did not see the passion. I did not see
Speaker 1: the effort when literally a week ago, the former president
Speaker 1: of the United States or people around him just shoving
Speaker 1: papers in front of his face, were like, all right,
Speaker 1: so we got some baby killers, let's go ahead and
Speaker 1: give them a commutation. Oh this Native American dude, he
Speaker 1: killed two FBI agents. Commutation for him, like your Oprah
Speaker 1: handing out cars. Those of you listening to the show
Speaker 1: right now, you're like, why is this guy screaming? He
Speaker 1: doesn't do that? You did this to not you, the listeners.
Speaker 1: You did this to me, and I realized I can't
Speaker 1: in this time, when there's so much opportunity to accomplish
Speaker 1: things and change things and do things, I can't have
Speaker 1: somebody who's one of one hundred votes, and more importantly,
Speaker 1: is one of you know fifty and you know fifty
Speaker 1: one to fifty three votes standing in the way. I
Speaker 1: will not be responsible for that. He has to go.
Speaker 1: He is Liz Cheney. He's out. He's out, or I'm out. Oh,
Speaker 1: he's a US center. I got it. And if that's
Speaker 1: the direction they want to go, fine, he's out. Make
Speaker 1: it happen or this this is your opposition, choose wisely.
Speaker 1: All right, that's it, all right, hold on, I'm just
Speaker 1: looking at my email. I have one, two, three, four
Speaker 1: or five, six of an eight, nine, ten. I'm counting here,
Speaker 1: twenty seven, twenty six, twenty five, twenty seven, twenty eight.
Speaker 1: There's twenty eight people in just a few moments who
Speaker 1: have taken time I'm out of their morning to be
Speaker 1: my disciple on this. It's hard getting people, especially early on,
Speaker 1: to interact with the radio show because they're busy, they
Speaker 1: just got up, they're doing a shower, many of you
Speaker 1: are like, oh, I can't imagine writing an email right now. Dude,
Speaker 1: you know I got two years. I got two years.
Speaker 2: I speak to a lot of people, you know, on
Speaker 2: social media. I don't know. I don't.
Speaker 3: I can't name one person who's like yay Tom Tillis
Speaker 3: everyone I know, everyone I talk to, the conversations that like,
Speaker 3: you know, lunch is yeah, Like I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Email's coming in. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy, man, you did
Speaker 1: this to me. I'm not this person. Ross, Isn't this person.
Speaker 2: Like you say it's it's sort of like I feel like.
Speaker 3: It's it's not like stunning and brave because everybody hates them.
Speaker 1: No, you know what it is. I gave this a
Speaker 1: lot of thought last night. It is you know why?
Speaker 1: Because if you think, if you believe as I do,
Speaker 1: that he is the level of piece of garbage that
Speaker 1: he is, let me explain something to you. Do you
Speaker 1: know what? Do you know the first politician I ever
Speaker 1: spoke to when I moved to North Carolina, Ross, you
Speaker 1: don't even know the story because you were with the
Speaker 1: show Tom Tillis. Do you know why I reached out
Speaker 1: to him? Because when I first when I first came
Speaker 1: here and we launched this radio, these two radio stations.
Speaker 1: One of the things that I was trying to do
Speaker 1: is secure as a media outlet, our ability to access
Speaker 1: the North Carolina Legislature's media section. And North Carolina has
Speaker 1: a system, and the system is that media credentials. Some
Speaker 1: of you aren't gonna believe me. Media credentials are control
Speaker 1: by the collective of the media, and I want you
Speaker 1: to think about that. So if we wanted credentialing at
Speaker 1: the North Carolina a General Assembly, I had to go
Speaker 1: through the Press Association, which at the time was the
Speaker 1: president was Laura Leslie, who, by the way, arguably I
Speaker 1: have more respect for than Tom Tillis, even though Ril
Speaker 1: is a constant focus of this show. But the people
Speaker 1: controlling access for up and coming or new media outlets,
Speaker 1: i e. Two new radio talk stations, and the Triad
Speaker 1: and the Triangle are its competitors. It's a horrible system.
Speaker 1: And my first conversation with Laura Leslie was well, you're
Speaker 1: not and I'm gonna paraphrase essentially, you're not really a
Speaker 1: media outlet. And I was. I was taken about. It
Speaker 1: wasn't about seniority and having workspace We had that conversation
Speaker 1: and I had a phone conversation with Laura Leslie on this.
Speaker 1: I didn't need workspace, I didn't need any of it.
Speaker 1: I needed access for our news department and potentially me,
Speaker 1: but primarily our news department if they need to go
Speaker 1: to the legislature to be able to plug in, get
Speaker 1: audio and do that thing. And when I was when
Speaker 1: there was pushback on this, I reached out to then.
Speaker 1: Because Tom Tillis was in a leadership, I reached out
Speaker 1: to him and I said, look, this isn't right. And
Speaker 1: the response from his office was who cares? And we
Speaker 1: had and if I have to go back and pull
Speaker 1: the audio from twelve years ago, I will do this.
Speaker 1: This guy, this Cretan, went down. He was at a
Speaker 1: lobbyist thing down in Florida, and I spent the entire
Speaker 1: show to prove to him, and I had him pulled
Speaker 1: out of the meeting, and he was angry. We did
Speaker 1: an angry interview with Tom Tillis on the air. He
Speaker 1: was so bothered by the fact that this happened. And
Speaker 1: yet I said, all right, we'll deal with this. And
Speaker 1: over the years, every interaction I had. He was a
Speaker 1: sports car which is the term that we use as code. Okay,
Speaker 1: And even then I didn't turn And even then and Ross,
Speaker 1: did I not offer this man interview time and give
Speaker 1: him an adult and non angry interview on this show twice?
Speaker 2: Dude, I would say more than twice.
Speaker 1: Well, primarily did his last election.
Speaker 2: I should say, yes, of course we.
Speaker 1: Have, and then and and and and uh, this will
Speaker 1: this will sound petty to you, but it's not because
Speaker 1: it's not about me. And then I am in a
Speaker 1: social setting where he is two days after we did
Speaker 1: an interview, and I said, hey, can I get thirty
Speaker 1: seconds of his time? And his his goons literally blocked
Speaker 1: me from talking to a person that I just gave
Speaker 1: airtime to. And even then, other than you know, to
Speaker 1: talk about it because we're shooting straight, I wasn't again.
Speaker 1: I'm just done. You know why, because he's gonna squander
Speaker 1: this time because he can't shut up. Have you, for
Speaker 1: people who listened to this show, have you ever heard
Speaker 1: me this angry? It's not about me, It's about us,
Speaker 1: and it's about the bastardization and probably the criminal mastardization
Speaker 1: of the last four years in everything that needs fixed,
Speaker 1: and he can't shut up. You're my project now. And
Speaker 1: if you want to come after me whatever, that's fine.
Speaker 1: You know why, because we're an open book here. So
Speaker 1: you did this and and and the state party I'm
Speaker 1: offering I'm offering you as long as we're working towards this.
Speaker 1: I'm offering you my fealty. But you have to cut
Speaker 1: this loose. And it's not an easy decision, but it's
Speaker 1: the right decision. And there will be people in North
Speaker 1: Carolina who will be angry at me if Tom Tillis loses.
Speaker 1: And I'm willing to accept that because on the record
Speaker 1: right now, two years you have two years to fix
Speaker 1: this and figure out who it is or give us
Speaker 1: some options, but you will not be part because it
Speaker 1: only requires a handful. I refuse that this state, especially
Speaker 1: this state who is only now finding out that there
Speaker 1: are people in Washington who give a crap about it.
Speaker 1: Following Helene, I refuse that North Carolina becomes part of
Speaker 1: the problem. And I don't like party politics, but I
Speaker 1: like a means to an end. See, y'all are on notice.
Speaker 1: We'll be back absolutely one percent fair. People are calling ross.
Speaker 1: Tell me what you just told Tell the audience what
Speaker 1: you just told me.
Speaker 3: Okause I feel like the same way. Listen, I can't
Speaker 3: stand Tom Tillis. You know where I stand in the guy.
Speaker 3: I feel like he's worse than Mitt Romney, Right, That's
Speaker 3: where I feel for a long time. But this morning,
Speaker 3: honest to god, all I was focused on is getting here.
Speaker 3: The show could be on the air and not dying
Speaker 3: on the streets of wake Forest and Wakefield because they
Speaker 3: haven't discovered rock salt apparently. So I come in and
Speaker 3: you're very angry, and I'm like, once again, I understand
Speaker 3: that Tom Tillis is worthless, but I don't understand what.
Speaker 3: Why are you feeling this?
Speaker 5: Well?
Speaker 3: What happened that? Because I don't know? You said, have
Speaker 3: you seen the tweets? I have not seen the tweets? Okay,
Speaker 3: And somebody else call in, a wonderful woman and she's like, I.
Speaker 2: Just got up and I have no idea why he's
Speaker 2: so angry, but your.
Speaker 1: Oh, okay, I don't know why he's.
Speaker 2: So angry, but I don't have the internet. Can you
Speaker 2: tell me why he's so paste off at Tom Tillis?
Speaker 1: I will, I will gladly do that. The problem was
Speaker 1: is literally we were having I was having a while
Speaker 1: I was yelling like a lunatic. I was having issues
Speaker 1: with my button bar, which just got fixed yesterday, which
Speaker 1: and I will say this because I'm going to be
Speaker 1: the one who's fair here added to the Tom Tillis hatred,
Speaker 1: probably because I'm frustrated with it. But everything is one
Speaker 1: hundred percent where it was that I'm going to explain
Speaker 1: to you right now what the problem is. Okay, do
Speaker 1: you all remember, and I understand you're going to have
Speaker 1: to jump in the wayback machine. Do you remember less
Speaker 1: than a week ago when the former president of the
Speaker 1: United States had already commuted basically everybody on federal death row,
Speaker 1: baby killers, cop killers, you name it. And then just
Speaker 1: before the inauguration commuted the sentence of a dude who
Speaker 1: killed two FBI agents. You remember this, right, And then
Speaker 1: twenty minutes before the swearing inn commuted his entire family,
Speaker 1: as well as members of Congress, an entire committee, an
Speaker 1: entire committee, doctor Fauci, and all the rest. And I
Speaker 1: saw zero passion for speaking against this on the part
Speaker 1: of Tom Tillis. And then yesterday, following the commutation of
Speaker 1: fifteen and the outright part in a fifteen hundred ish
Speaker 1: j six folks, which I was even critical of in
Speaker 1: the sense that commutation is the vast majority who were
Speaker 1: hit with charges for doing nothing physical and literally we're
Speaker 1: charged with the thing that is normally at or fifty
Speaker 1: dollars fine. And Trump goes and does that, and then
Speaker 1: our garbage senator sits there in a hallway where so
Speaker 1: many things are broken, where we are finding out that
Speaker 1: there is a likelihood that the President of the United
Speaker 1: States was so incompetent and so gone that activists within
Speaker 1: his administration we're doing things like pausing natural liquid natural
Speaker 1: gas exports. In fact, Ross, will you put that cut
Speaker 1: back up. I'm gonna play this again because I want
Speaker 1: people to understand why I sound like a lunatic this morning,
Speaker 1: which is not me, because the Speaker of the House,
Speaker 1: Mike Johnson, in an interview on Friday, said this.
Speaker 6: Reaches over just like this.
Speaker 7: We're sitting in the right next to the fireplace in
Speaker 7: the oval and he grazma arm and he says, the
Speaker 7: Speaker and I just need a couple minutes together. Would
Speaker 7: y'all just leave us alone? And I looked up on
Speaker 7: the faces of some of the staff standing around the wall.
Speaker 1: And they're like, no, he did it, so he called it.
Speaker 7: He's the commander in chiefs Ever, he and I are
Speaker 7: standing awkwardly in the middle of the Oval office, right
Speaker 7: over the rug by that coffee table, and I said,
Speaker 7: Miss President, thanks for the moments. You know, this is
Speaker 7: very important. I got some big national security things I
Speaker 7: need to talk to you about that I've heard and
Speaker 7: I think you know and what do we do? But first,
Speaker 7: real quickly, Miss President, can I ask you a question
Speaker 7: I cannot answer this from my constituents in Louisiana. Sir,
Speaker 7: why did you pause LNG exports to Europe? Like I
Speaker 7: don't understand. You know, liquified natural gas is in great
Speaker 7: demand by our allies. Why would you do that? Because
Speaker 7: you understand we just talked about Ukraine. You understand your
Speaker 7: fuel in Vladimir Putin's war machine because they got to
Speaker 7: get their gas from him, you know. And he looks
Speaker 7: at me, stunned with this, and he said, I didn't
Speaker 7: I didn't do that. I said, Miss President, you.
Speaker 4: Yes, you did.
Speaker 7: It was an executive order like you know, three weeks ago,
Speaker 7: and he goes, no, I didn't do that, and he's
Speaker 7: arguing with me. I said, Miss President, respectfully, can I
Speaker 7: could I go out here and ask your secretary to
Speaker 7: print it out. We'll read it together. You definitely did that,
Speaker 7: and he goes, oh, you talk about natural gas. Yes, sir,
Speaker 7: he said, oh no, did you misunderstand? He said, what
Speaker 7: I did is I signed this thing to we're gonna
Speaker 7: conduct a study on the effects of LERG. I said, no,
Speaker 7: you're not, sir.
Speaker 1: You paused it.
Speaker 7: I know I have the terminal, the export terminals in
Speaker 7: my state. I talked to those people this morning. This
Speaker 7: is doing massive damage to our economy, national security. It
Speaker 7: occurred to me, Barry, he was not lying to me.
Speaker 7: He genuinely did not know what he had signed. And
Speaker 7: I walked out of that meeting with fear and loathing
Speaker 7: because I thought, we're in serious trouble. Who is running
Speaker 7: the country like, I don't know who put the paper
Speaker 7: in front of him, but he didn't know.
Speaker 1: That is the greatest scandal of my lifetime. That is,
Speaker 1: it's terrified and the fact that we're here and we
Speaker 1: have an opportunity regardless and if you listen to this show,
Speaker 1: when Trump does stuff I don't like, I talk about it,
Speaker 1: but we have an opportunity because we are so far
Speaker 1: gone over what is functional and what is normal in
Speaker 1: this country. Debates and disagreements are part of this. And
Speaker 1: I don't call everyone a moon back just because they
Speaker 1: don't vote how I want them to. I'm just not
Speaker 1: that guy. And we've set out for this show not
Speaker 1: to be this. And Tom Tillis, when he finally decides
Speaker 1: to open his stupid mouth, says this yesterday. If there
Speaker 1: are we're.
Speaker 6: Trying to go through it right now, but obviously it's everybody, anyone.
Speaker 8: What I'm trying to do is figure out there are
Speaker 8: some commutations. To me, I just can't agree. I'm about
Speaker 8: to file two bills that will increase the penalties up
Speaker 8: to and including the death penalty for the murder of
Speaker 8: a police officer.
Speaker 1: Here's the thing that sounds good, except the impetus for
Speaker 1: him to give a crap is an issue where it
Speaker 1: is clear that people in power, judges, prosecutors, doj folks
Speaker 1: so wildly abused their positions that he should have addressed
Speaker 1: this previously. And I understand he's being asked the question,
Speaker 1: but he and I'm going to play the rest of
Speaker 1: the cut. There's still a minute to go. He gets
Speaker 1: into it as an afterthought and that needs to be
Speaker 1: if you're attempting to accomplish things, it needs to be
Speaker 1: your driving force smacking my hands together. Let's finish the cut,
Speaker 1: increasing the penalties and creating federal crimes for assaulting a
Speaker 1: police officer.
Speaker 8: That should give you everything you need to know about
Speaker 8: my possession.
Speaker 9: But you get it as it's It was surprising to
Speaker 9: me that it was a blanket pardon.
Speaker 1: Now I'm going through it, but it wasn't a blanket pardon.
Speaker 1: There were commutations as well. If he has a beef
Speaker 1: with an individual issue or an individual person, that's fine,
Speaker 1: but you are styming the ability to right the ship
Speaker 1: so that we can have the normal disagreements. And I
Speaker 1: don't know if it's because you crave power, but I
Speaker 1: have no trust in you that it's because you're a
Speaker 1: good person. That's why I'm upset, and I understand it is.
Speaker 1: It is probably nuanced for people who don't pay attention
Speaker 1: to this all the time, but it's a waste. It's
Speaker 1: an absolute one hundred percent, one thousand percent gift to
Speaker 1: the very people who have decided to go ahead and
Speaker 1: bastardize hiring practices. Who gets prosecuted, how they get prosecuted
Speaker 1: any of the rest there were There were people within DC,
Speaker 1: within the UH Corrections, and maybe even the mayor of DC,
Speaker 1: Muriel Bowser, who were explicitly rejecting presidential pardons yesterday. Things
Speaker 1: are far more broke. And yes, as I said yesterday
Speaker 1: on the show, if if, if everyone was acting within
Speaker 1: their constitutional bounds and you chemical sprayed a police officer,
Speaker 1: I don't have a problem with you doing the time.
Speaker 1: But the thing is, the time is there. We don't
Speaker 1: need new laws on this. You don't need to aid
Speaker 1: your political opposition.
Speaker 3: It was about to say, it seems like it's a
Speaker 3: timing thing, right, because Trump's in office for less than
Speaker 3: what twenty four hours, and suddenly twenty four hours you're
Speaker 3: out saying this. And this is a time when the
Speaker 3: media is looking for anything and anything they can poke at,
Speaker 3: and now you're coming out and now they can say, well,
Speaker 3: look now, not only are these other things happened eon
Speaker 3: must thing and this thing and that thing, but also
Speaker 3: now there's infighting on the right.
Speaker 1: And he knows this. It's not like he just got
Speaker 1: you know, he didn't. He wasn't. Mister Smith goes to
Speaker 1: Washington and he had no experience. He was the most
Speaker 1: powerful lawmaker in North Carolina. He knows things. He understands
Speaker 1: this right.
Speaker 2: They're going to use him as a weapon now to
Speaker 2: take down Trump.
Speaker 5: And.
Speaker 1: I'm done with that. It was one thing when he
Speaker 1: was just a feckless idiot. Now he's a tool in
Speaker 1: opposition of how things are expected to run in this country,
Speaker 1: and for that is unforgivable. Keep your mouth shut. You
Speaker 1: know there are two words you ready, no comment? This
Speaker 1: is easy to detail. What do you think I mean?
Speaker 2: Is there anything or to it at this point?
Speaker 5: You know?
Speaker 9: Although you know with what I should have mentioned before
Speaker 9: is you should.
Speaker 2: Pay a ten.
Speaker 1: By the way, as a beard enthusiast, your beard also
Speaker 1: looks stupid if you can't grow it in get rid
Speaker 1: of it.
Speaker 9: Mentioned this probably won't get reported, but I hope it does.
Speaker 9: That's the abusive of the of the abuse of the
Speaker 9: pardon process by Joe Biden. I hope anybody who's going
Speaker 9: to be critical of what occurred last night is also
Speaker 9: very critical of a massive overreach by President.
Speaker 1: He's not wrong, he's three days late. By beard is
Speaker 1: luscious and thick, by the way, not scraggly with whatever
Speaker 1: that is.
Speaker 9: A perspective part, it's kind of like a get out
Speaker 9: of jail free card makes no sense to me either.
Speaker 6: So to answer your question.
Speaker 8: Maybe we need to go back and look at the
Speaker 8: contours of the authority that future presidents have around park.
Speaker 1: How about the never went to jail, get out free card,
Speaker 1: because that's what we saw throughout the West Coast, That's
Speaker 1: what we saw in DC, that's what we saw in
Speaker 1: Minneapolis when they burned down the neighborhood I used to
Speaker 1: live in. Too little, too late, Too little, too late.
Speaker 1: And if you all, if you all want to send
Speaker 1: your money in, you're working against me to counteract what
Speaker 1: I'm doing, what I will do on this show over
Speaker 1: the next two years, or you can fix this. Don't worry.
Speaker 1: We're gonna have fun here in a few minutes. I
Speaker 1: gotta get this out of my system. But it's not
Speaker 1: going anywhere. So that's why I'm angry. That's why I'm
Speaker 1: sitting here. As Ross pointed out, I'm sitting here and
Speaker 1: I'm looking at this opportunity that people like Tom Tillis
Speaker 1: are going to squander. Who if they actually felt that
Speaker 1: passionate about it, should have held a damn press conference.
Speaker 1: The other day for the very thing. He's not proposing
Speaker 1: that he's going to fix this following Biden doing stuff.
Speaker 1: He's proposing this as a I'm going to show you
Speaker 1: how bipartisan I am. Process. Now I don't like what
Speaker 1: Trump did. I don't like what they did. Well, I
Speaker 1: was on the radio pointing out both things, because that's
Speaker 1: how humans with independent thought operate, who are not sitting
Speaker 1: here strictly for their own betterment, Are we clear?
Speaker 8: Its Democrats in a difficult position if they look at
Speaker 8: President Biden's pardons and they don't say what I've just
Speaker 8: said about President Trump.
Speaker 1: What do you think you're scoring there? Do this, be it,
Speaker 1: do it consistently, and we don't have a peep and
Speaker 1: and perhaps I would have regained a little bit of respect,
Speaker 1: But no, now we're here. Now we watch the pardoning
Speaker 1: of his entire family, an entire Congressional committee, members of
Speaker 1: the Pentagon, health and Human Services, you name it. And
Speaker 1: now we have a problem. Unacceptable, And and I arrived
Speaker 1: at the conclusion that we're better off without him. So
Speaker 1: I want it to be as immediately as possible, one
Speaker 1: thousand percent on the record where I'm at, and utilize
Speaker 1: what little bit of power or a little bit of
Speaker 1: influence that I have to make this point some a
Speaker 1: series of ducats that I have never cashed in on
Speaker 1: this show in a in a significant manner. Obviously, we've
Speaker 1: had opinions. I've never told people who to vote for.
Speaker 1: I've never endorsed a political candidate. None of these things
Speaker 1: have happened. But I will be damned if an opportunity
Speaker 1: to attempt to write this ship is undermined by somebody
Speaker 1: who's supposed to be part of the crew. You can disagree,
Speaker 1: but you need to do so in a consistent manner.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm upset. Disagree. If you want a respect
Speaker 1: your opinion, we'll be back to say this in one
Speaker 1: fail swoop and not split it up. So I'm going
Speaker 1: to open the segment with with this, and it is
Speaker 1: the lifeblood of why I'm losing my mind this morning.
Speaker 1: If you believe that Trump is purely transactional, which is
Speaker 1: you know with the media and any here's the deal.
Speaker 1: You can believe that if you believe in and and
Speaker 1: Tom Tillis has shown himself to not be a fan
Speaker 1: of Trump, which I don't require him to be. But
Speaker 1: if you then believe that he is purely transactional, worst
Speaker 1: case scenario, and you decide this is how you want
Speaker 1: to go about it. Well, my fellow North Carolinians are
Speaker 1: sitting in propane lines and finally getting heard and finally
Speaker 1: potentially getting a FEMA director who gives a crap. Donald
Speaker 1: Trump is coming to North Carolina right now, right now,
Speaker 1: one of his first trip as president is to North Carolina.
Speaker 1: And if you believe that, if you believe he's only
Speaker 1: doing it for votes or clicks or whatever cynical thing
Speaker 1: you can believe that, And if you are an elected
Speaker 1: official who believes that, and you do anything to jeopardize
Speaker 1: the five thousand plus families in North Carolina who continue
Speaker 1: to not be able to access their homes, many of
Speaker 1: which will never be able to access them again, and
Speaker 1: you do anything to screw that up for whatever this is.
Speaker 1: That's why I'm so angry. How hard have you and people,
Speaker 1: all the people around you, and that people on social
Speaker 1: media and the activists and the non activist who became
Speaker 1: and were forced to be activists. How hard have you
Speaker 1: worked so that North Carolina who was crepped upon when
Speaker 1: they were kicking people out of hotels while the president
Speaker 1: at the time was saying that one hundred and eighty
Speaker 1: days of emergency funding for shelter was immediately guaranteed to
Speaker 1: the Pacific Palisades. And you are one of the two
Speaker 1: senators who represent this entire state and you decide this
Speaker 1: is the time. That's why I'm upset. Screw this guy.
Speaker 1: You may never hear me this fired up again. But
Speaker 1: this thing that might possibly not be fully fixed, but
Speaker 1: slightly fixed so people don't freeze to death in their
Speaker 1: RVs because they didn't want to stand six hours in
Speaker 1: line in a propane line. If you do anything to
Speaker 1: screw that up for your own whatever this is, we're done.
Speaker 1: You picked the wrong time, buddy, It's done. You have
Speaker 1: made you have radicalized me. I mean, I don't ross
Speaker 1: does that make sense? Right? Like where we're sitting here,
Speaker 1: and and I like, people, did you see the video
Speaker 1: of the propane lines out in western North Carol ross
Speaker 1: By between screen and the college.
Speaker 3: I know I've seen the video the propane lines and
Speaker 3: the and the texts and the tents, and it's yeah,
Speaker 3: if you f.
Speaker 1: That up for anybody, I don't care who you are.
Speaker 1: How dare you how dare you not be able to
Speaker 1: put rubb two brain cells together and go, this is
Speaker 1: not the time. That's the core of what started me yesterday.
Speaker 2: So especially he said, because he's such a political animal anyway.
Speaker 1: Yes, so there's thousand percent.
Speaker 2: How is it possible that he could be blundering this much?
Speaker 1: It's it's the dumbest thing I've ever seen, and and
Speaker 1: and and and and it's not just that he would
Speaker 1: look bad on the backside. He could get people killed.
Speaker 1: He could get people killed for whatever this is. And
Speaker 1: that's what did it. Everything that I just expounded upon,
Speaker 1: and then this cherry on top that I wanted to
Speaker 1: be sure that I communicated properly, even though I sound
Speaker 1: like a lunatic right now. It's unforgivable. You can't come
Speaker 1: back from this. You did something to imperil. If you
Speaker 1: think Trump is transactional, which till Us does not. He
Speaker 1: has not demonstrated that he has a high regard for Trump,
Speaker 1: so I will operate under his own theory. If you
Speaker 1: think Trump is transactional, it's worse that you did this,
Speaker 1: have I So I hope that you and and and
Speaker 1: I and I invite you because my anger is not
Speaker 1: even if you even if you still think, hey, we
Speaker 1: got to have till Us because it's better than Roy
Speaker 1: Cooper or whoever is. You know, the likely you have
Speaker 1: to come to terms with that that this guy is
Speaker 1: creating a situation where your fellow North Carolinians could freeze
Speaker 1: to death. If you think the worst of Trump, that's unforgivable.
Speaker 1: So with that in mind, I'm going to do whatever
Speaker 1: in my power to make sure that that doesn't happen
Speaker 1: and that we have people in there who are able
Speaker 1: to add two and two and he's not. And I
Speaker 1: just saw that. I saw an announcement yesterday with this
Speaker 1: poor woman got brought in to be his campaign manager.
Speaker 1: What a speed bump in her career. I don't know
Speaker 1: anything about her. I feel bad for her. You need
Speaker 1: to tell your boy this ain't it, and then figure
Speaker 1: out who it is. Cool, wonderful, Let's do the stuff
Speaker 1: we want to do, shall we? Okay, wonderful. I'm going
Speaker 1: to make the transition now eight eight eight nine three
Speaker 1: four seven eight seventy four. Oh, I don't even know
Speaker 1: how to quick leave that.
Speaker 3: I'm a big fan of you being pissed off with
Speaker 3: the microphone in Greensboro because it adds like an extra
Speaker 3: bunker feel to it, Yeah, like an extra level of rage.
Speaker 3: It's sort of like when you used to listen to
Speaker 3: Art Bell back in the day and his microphone had
Speaker 3: this filtering on it, right, and he would talk, Yeah,
Speaker 3: oh my god, that guy's really in the desert, you know,
Speaker 3: in a bunker somewhere.
Speaker 1: It really was, he was. He was, yeah, yeah, okay,
Speaker 1: all right, keep talking for a moment. I'm trying to
Speaker 1: make my call screener work now. Oh Tom Tillis Jack
Speaker 1: was like, no, he didn't. No, that's just that's our network. Okay,
Speaker 1: there we go. Oh And if you have any questions
Speaker 1: for me, or if you want to challenge my thinking,
Speaker 1: I I welcome it, and I'm not going to be
Speaker 1: disrespectful to you. But if, if, if, if you think
Speaker 1: that I am not being fair, please eight eight eight
Speaker 1: nine three four seven eight seventy four. Because while clearly
Speaker 1: the object of my ire is this man, my goal
Speaker 1: is not an individual goal. It was the fear that
Speaker 1: struck me yesterday that it could somehow impact the ability
Speaker 1: of people who lost everything, including family members. I'm not
Speaker 1: going to get into details. Ross you know you're you
Speaker 1: guys know somebody who's literally their family is still missing.
Speaker 3: Right, yeah, yeah, yes, yeah, one of one of Marky's
Speaker 3: old coworkers. It was made the news. It's because it's
Speaker 3: one of the people that they came out with a list,
Speaker 3: like FEMA came out with the thing. Yeah, these are
Speaker 3: the people that you know are missing. And one of
Speaker 3: them they called out. They were like no, and it
Speaker 3: was a it's a it's a known story. Last time
Speaker 3: she was seen, she was on the roof of her
Speaker 3: house and the house was floating away down the river
Speaker 3: while the husband was watching.
Speaker 1: You do if you are in a position of power
Speaker 1: and you do anything to make it harder for people
Speaker 1: who are dealing with that or dealing with any of this,
Speaker 1: we have no more use for you. You have an
Speaker 1: inability as adults should. Everybody who everybody who considers themselves
Speaker 1: an adult, understands that you pick your battles. Except one
Speaker 1: of the two people out of ten plus million that
Speaker 1: this state has decided speaks on their behalf. And I
Speaker 1: have seen the work of countless individuals who not only
Speaker 1: have to deal with how are we going to get
Speaker 1: this fixed? How are we going to get people homes?
Speaker 1: How are we going to get people the heat that
Speaker 1: they need to survive while also dealing with drifters who
Speaker 1: come in and and you know, and pretend to run
Speaker 1: these organizations like they're having to fight that too. They
Speaker 1: shouldn't have to fight the people that they sent to Washington,
Speaker 1: and you're creating that scenario. You need to apologize. You
Speaker 1: still need to go, but you should apologize if you
Speaker 1: have an ounce of humanity. You done fed up. As
Speaker 1: the kids and the adults say, okay, wonderful, raced agic here,
Speaker 1: he's got a lot of displaying him to do. Okay,
Speaker 1: would you do? Man? Why is there? Why are they
Speaker 1: having snowball fights in New Orleans? That's not okay. Destin Florida,
Speaker 1: sitting on the Gulf of America has like multiple inches
Speaker 1: of snow. That's right. I used the new name. Stop it, man,
Speaker 1: just stop it. So you've never flustered. It's been a long.
Speaker 6: Time since I've had an eye opening weather event.
Speaker 1: Wow. Okay, wow, that sounds yeah.
Speaker 6: I mean if you get me to react in a
Speaker 6: way where I almost don't know words, what do you
Speaker 6: think of when you think of Pensacola white sandy beaches?
Speaker 2: Right?
Speaker 1: I was just going to say, I saw the pictures
Speaker 1: in Destin, and we got a cluster in Dustine there,
Speaker 1: which is literally right in the little thing there, And
Speaker 1: I've stayed at that hotel directly next to it in
Speaker 1: the Redneck riviera that is the Pensacola Deston area, and
Speaker 1: the beautiful white sand beaches on that little peninsula there.
Speaker 1: It's gorgeous and it's now extra white because it's covered
Speaker 1: in snow.
Speaker 6: So I said, seven point six in Pensacola. What do
Speaker 6: you think? I think the movie Contact right when the
Speaker 6: father goes to that wherever he goes and he thinks
Speaker 6: Pensacola whatever.
Speaker 2: Yeah, right, this is how you know.
Speaker 3: It's like a serious thing, like we're you saying, because
Speaker 3: we've been with Ray we for over a decade. Right
Speaker 3: this morning, it's the first time he sent me a
Speaker 3: PowerPoint presentation of the highlights, the highlights of this storm,
Speaker 3: like the yeah, like the snowfall in different areas.
Speaker 1: That sounds so nerdy.
Speaker 4: I do.
Speaker 6: I do go off the rails once in a while.
Speaker 6: But Pensacol is seven point six. The previous all time
Speaker 6: record two point three inches. They absolutely destroyed the record.
Speaker 6: New Orleans two point seven was the old record eight
Speaker 6: inches of snow. The State of Florida, eight point eight
Speaker 6: in Milton, doubling their all time snow record set in
Speaker 6: nineteen fifty four first blizzard warning in Lake Charles. I mean,
Speaker 6: the list goes on and on. We even had one
Speaker 6: point five officially at URDU at the airport in Raleigh,
Speaker 6: which was a record for the date, and that certainly
Speaker 6: messed things up for us this morning. So be careful
Speaker 6: this morning. There might be refreezing tomorrow morning. It's a
Speaker 6: temperature story now teens and twenties this morning tonight we
Speaker 6: may see some single numbers in the area. So it
Speaker 6: is going to be a fridge night tonight, some sun
Speaker 6: upper thirties tomorrow, might get forty by the end of
Speaker 6: the week and the weekend and maybe close out of fifty.
Speaker 6: But right now doesn't look like any more precipitation through
Speaker 6: about Sunday, so, as I said, quite an event. Still
Speaker 6: looking at the data coming in. Unfortunately, there's been fatalities
Speaker 6: and now we're looking at maybe even deaths because of
Speaker 6: the cold. So we want everybody to keep in mind,
Speaker 6: going to be a frigid night tonight. You know, open
Speaker 6: up the doors on the sink, drip the faucets, keep
Speaker 6: the pipes, the exposed pipes, try to cover them up.
Speaker 6: It's going to be a cold one.
Speaker 1: Tonight and and like all the nights this week. So yeah,
Speaker 1: the snow that was you answer my question. So totals
Speaker 1: not adding until potentially Sunday, Yeah, come back, yeah.
Speaker 6: No, no, And yeah it's it's twenties coldest night tonight,
Speaker 6: although we will be in the twenties tomorrow night and
Speaker 6: it's still going to be below freezing. Same thing for
Speaker 6: Friday night.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, but no initial no more additional snow
Speaker 1: potent Sunday, yeah, yeah, potentially until Yeah.
Speaker 6: I don't even know what that's going to be because we
Speaker 6: get at the Monday early Sunday Monday morning is another
Speaker 6: little system coming through. I didn't want to really, man,
Speaker 6: but thanks. I kind of want to recover from this first.
Speaker 1: Well that's that's the thing. And it's a little selfish
Speaker 1: because I literally have an event Saturday at the coast.
Speaker 3: Did you all hear the theory about New Orleans and
Speaker 3: the snowstorm the football theory? No, it's snowing in New
Speaker 3: Orleans and one of the teams that possibly could go
Speaker 3: to the Super Bowl is known to be from a
Speaker 3: city where it's snows. So it's a sign from above
Speaker 3: that there's a certain team playing in New Orleans in
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl.
Speaker 6: I remember what that stand playing a dome. It's a dome, right,
Speaker 6: remember in the.
Speaker 1: Past, old man living in the past. What time did
Speaker 1: the Cowboys play Sunday that you look up?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, what time I think we're playing? So all right, well,
Speaker 1: we'll make fun of each other more in the next hour. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right. Really, Ross hadn't even hit me with that theory,
Speaker 1: but it makes sense.
Speaker 3: Yeah, they're like just never snows in New Orleans, and
Speaker 3: now the Bills have a chance to play there. Even
Speaker 3: if they play in a dome, it's still snowing in
Speaker 3: New Orleans.
Speaker 2: It's sign.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a thing. And and uh, let me
Speaker 1: ask you this, Ross. Do you think the mayor of
Speaker 1: Buffalo can spell Bills?
Speaker 2: Yes? I do?
Speaker 1: Oh wow, okay, because uh, you know that's apparently an outlier,
Speaker 1: as I'll demonstrate next. Hang on a little bit of
Speaker 1: a rant this morning. That's okay, it's what we do.
Speaker 1: We got some calls. We'll go ahead and get into
Speaker 1: those and and at the top of the hour, I'll well,
Speaker 1: we'll finish out the calls and I'll explain the reference
Speaker 1: there going into the break about being wealthy. But folks
Speaker 1: have been holding Let's get to it, Janet, thank you.
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 10: So the ncg OP and Tom Tillis have been a
Speaker 10: real problem for a long time. I'm fairly certain that
Speaker 10: they're replacing the n CGP members with leftists out here.
Speaker 1: As a matter of let me say this, I know
Speaker 1: a couple of them, and that's why I'm doing this,
Speaker 1: because I'm appealing to what I think is some sensibility.
Speaker 1: So I just want to be very clear here, and
Speaker 1: I hope that that's I hope I'm right, but I
Speaker 1: understand why you feel like that, Janet.
Speaker 4: Right.
Speaker 10: As a matter of fact, the n c g OP
Speaker 10: actually closed up shop out here in Chatham County, which
Speaker 10: right now is vital territory because we're being inundated with
Speaker 10: leftists right and the n CGP has just packed their
Speaker 10: bags and left.
Speaker 11: Us to thin for ourselves.
Speaker 10: Right now what we need is the most.
Speaker 1: So now we get emails from people who frankly didn't
Speaker 1: listen to any of the Tillis stuff. Accusation, what are
Speaker 1: you a secret Democrat? No, No, I hate everybody, not everybody,
Speaker 1: but I'm I'm the only one who's consistent here. And
Speaker 1: I explained to you my biggest drive We're gonna get
Speaker 1: to calls momentarily, my biggest driving thing is let me
Speaker 1: tell you that. And I'm not going to tell you
Speaker 1: the numbers because I don't want to make this about me.
Speaker 1: There have been two things in my life where I
Speaker 1: have donated financially. Obviously, we can utilize the platform that
Speaker 1: that Ross and I have here for good, but there
Speaker 1: have been two things where behind the scenes I have
Speaker 1: stroked checks or well, in this case, digital donations that
Speaker 1: likely exceeded we don't make as much money as you think.
Speaker 1: Where I have donated out of sheer emotion. One when
Speaker 1: I served on the board for Big Brothers Big Sisters
Speaker 1: when I was a broadcaster in Minnesota. I donate a
Speaker 1: lot of money there. I donated more to causes in
Speaker 1: western North Carolina through about ten different transactions, and it's
Speaker 1: not a small amount. I am passionate about it, and
Speaker 1: I have spent countless hours of broadcast time using this
Speaker 1: platform not mentioning that because it was so heartbreaking. So
Speaker 1: that is what has driven my sheer insanity. This morning,
Speaker 1: top of everything else, that we would have a representative
Speaker 1: of this state if he believes what he has shown
Speaker 1: me that he believes where he thinks Trump is transactional,
Speaker 1: he doesn't like it. It's not good order any of
Speaker 1: the rest of it. In the same way that if
Speaker 1: you're Californian you believe that climate change is the greatest threat,
Speaker 1: and then you do nothing to mitigate it. I see you.
Speaker 1: And if you're Tom Tillis and you think Trump is
Speaker 1: transactional and you do anything to imperil North Carolina finally
Speaker 1: getting some attention, screw you. You have no business representing
Speaker 1: me or anybody else. And it's going to be up
Speaker 1: to the party to recognize this cancer and cut it out.
Speaker 1: So don't question me. I've got receipts, quite literally, because
Speaker 1: I will write it off. But that's our tax system.
Speaker 1: Avail yourself of it, doing my taxes here in a
Speaker 1: few days. That's where we are. He made his bed,
Speaker 1: he can lie in it, and it's not one where
Speaker 1: he's an elected official anymore. In two years, and if
Speaker 1: he had any if he had any decency, he resigned
Speaker 1: a day. Oh but Josh died. I don't care. How
Speaker 1: could it be any worse. Trump expects Democrats to you
Speaker 1: to disgree with him and still get put. He doesn't
Speaker 1: expect Tom Tillis to do it. Not right now, Jim,
Speaker 1: thanks for hanging on. What's up?
Speaker 5: Good morning, Casey.
Speaker 1: It's not a good it's not a good morning. And
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm a buzzkill this morning. But
Speaker 1: it's just.
Speaker 5: Don't hate me, because I promise I'm not beautiful.
Speaker 4: But U.
Speaker 5: From the stratosphere aboard Trump forced two point zero. Tom
Speaker 5: Tillis doesn't even look like an ant. He's an amiva.
Speaker 5: So don't let him rent space in your head. It's
Speaker 5: not worth it. You need to save your adrenaline, get
Speaker 5: an adrenaline metering valve, and just use.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm starving the beast. No, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: I'm starving the beast. That's that's what we're here for.
Speaker 1: He is banging around in my head. And and now
Speaker 1: I get to use whatever little flex power or notoriety
Speaker 1: that I have to starve the beast. It actually is
Speaker 1: a very good day.
Speaker 5: Well, you're gonna need it. You're gonna need it over
Speaker 5: the next two years because and don't stop at me.
Speaker 5: But Senator Casey O'Day has a nice ring to it.
Speaker 1: Nope, things have happened far far more useful here, far
Speaker 1: more useful here.
Speaker 5: Well, let's find somebody and let's get behind him right now.
Speaker 5: But add that wise old stage Rick James, let me
Speaker 5: frais of here you didn't see is a hell of
Speaker 5: a drug. Beware we fake that.
Speaker 1: You could put Joe Biden in and then just put
Speaker 1: papers in front of him so he can like proxy
Speaker 1: vote and and you would get it would be more effective.
Speaker 1: So you know, let's get a dementia pation in here.
Speaker 1: It's better than Tom Tillis.
Speaker 5: You're right, but I support you one hundred percent. I
Speaker 5: agree with you one hundred percent. But we don't need
Speaker 5: you blowing a kicker on the air.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I said, I was actually surprised my blood pressure.
Speaker 1: I just had to check up here about a month ago.
Speaker 1: Actually good to go, so we'll see. So if I die,
Speaker 1: it's a it's a putin. It's a putin thing, Okay, Like.
Speaker 5: Well, don't check it today, check it tomorrow, all.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, I appreciate it. Oh, hello, what's this? Amibas
Speaker 1: are useful sometimes? Yeah, for the average person. How is
Speaker 1: Slenderman impeded help for North Carolina because I am going
Speaker 1: through his line of thought and it is clear that
Speaker 1: he is not a fan of Trump, and the criticism
Speaker 1: of Trump is that he's transactional, and he's moody and
Speaker 1: he's emotional. And even if you accept all of that,
Speaker 1: for you to stick your finger and that fan at
Speaker 1: the exact moment where North Carolina is getting some attention,
Speaker 1: that's the problem because either one you're right, Trump is
Speaker 1: transactional and North Carolina loses out, or you're wrong and
Speaker 1: you're still crapping over somebody who's trying to help. Finally,
Speaker 1: that's the difference.
Speaker 5: Jeff, what's up, hey, Casey?
Speaker 11: Yeah, I agree with you one hundred percent. Tom tillis
Speaker 11: every single time it comes to an important bill, he
Speaker 11: can never be trusted or counted on to vote in
Speaker 11: the right direction or do the right thing for us
Speaker 11: all this country. We need somebody that's going to be
Speaker 11: able to beat him. And that's why I would beg
Speaker 11: you to reach out to Mike Wattley and get him
Speaker 11: to beg Laura Trump to run for senator against him,
Speaker 11: because she can beat him.
Speaker 5: She can beat him, and.
Speaker 11: I would like you to make Whatley a regular on
Speaker 11: your show at least once a week.
Speaker 1: And hey, let me let me say that. Let me
Speaker 1: let me tell you something. Because Wattley and I have
Speaker 1: beef over an incident which I've talked about on the air.
Speaker 1: I will I will no, no, no, hear me out. I
Speaker 1: will comb by Mike Wattley and give him a weekly
Speaker 1: spot on this show. If he will denounce Trump or
Speaker 1: till Us for going after Trump on this.
Speaker 11: Stuff, that would be easy. I would hope he would
Speaker 11: do that with without a second thing.
Speaker 1: It's out there right now. You all can communicate to him.
Speaker 1: I will, we will mend the issue. We will call
Speaker 1: it a misunderstanding. I won't even get into the issue
Speaker 1: is over an interview thing. I will be done with it. Well,
Speaker 1: let's God bless you because.
Speaker 11: The inauguration was equivalent to us landing on Omaha Beach.
Speaker 11: The fight has just begun. And you can you know,
Speaker 11: people can call Tillis and amiba, but he gets votes,
Speaker 11: and he can derail Trump's agenda right from the get
Speaker 11: go if he doesn't vote for his nominees. And Tillis
Speaker 11: can be a real serious problem. And we're wondering why
Speaker 11: is he like one of the only senators that is
Speaker 11: railing about Trump's decision on the pardons. Well, personally, I
Speaker 11: believe he's corrupt and I believe his handlers are telling him,
Speaker 11: you find a way to vote against Trump's nominees and
Speaker 11: this could give him what he needs. You can say, wow, Trump's.
Speaker 1: Just too No no, no, no, no, sir, let me
Speaker 1: pause you for a moment. We are going to find
Speaker 1: out this week because of the hegset thing, which I'm
Speaker 1: going to get into here in the moment. You know,
Speaker 1: because the claim is that there are GOP senators who
Speaker 1: who will not vote based on this story from the
Speaker 1: sister in law of Hegseth's second wife, and God helped me.
Speaker 1: If one of those people is Tillis, we will find out.
Speaker 1: So I'm with you, and I have been called I
Speaker 1: was complimentary of Mike Wattley because of the action, immediate
Speaker 1: action in Pennsylvania when they were screwing with observers. So
Speaker 1: we can fix this, but it requires this, It requires
Speaker 1: the ex community of this individual. And there's no and
Speaker 1: I love that word.
Speaker 11: I say ostracize, I say eradicate, I say we're on
Speaker 11: the beach and we got to move forward. And I'm
Speaker 11: thank god you're going to use your microphone because we've
Speaker 11: got two years to that that next election, and let's
Speaker 11: fix b and that's and and let's just move forward.
Speaker 1: And if and if Tillius wants to pretend that he's
Speaker 1: retiring to spend more time with family or whatever that garbage,
Speaker 1: I would and not challenge that. I don't care. But
Speaker 1: he's gone. And if he's not gone, God help us. Okay, Well, Laura.
Speaker 11: Trump is our first one we've got to go for.
Speaker 11: And if not, then who who there's got to be?
Speaker 1: I don't know. I don't know. I have for million
Speaker 1: plus people, sir, we got ten million plus people. One
Speaker 1: of them's got all.
Speaker 11: I asked for a list of the J sixers that
Speaker 11: are from North Carolina because some of these guys are
Speaker 11: incredibly smart and tuned in and know what they're doing
Speaker 11: and could make a very good candidate. I'd like to
Speaker 11: know who all the North Carolina Jay sixers are. Maybe
Speaker 11: there might be somebody in there, but we got to
Speaker 11: try every avenue, but we cannot fail this time. He
Speaker 11: has got to go. He is a threat to not
Speaker 11: just this state, but this country.
Speaker 1: There's probably five or six current House members right now,
Speaker 1: and thanks for the caller, Jeff, you know, let's do
Speaker 1: this thing. Let's do this thing. Come come convince me
Speaker 1: you're the guy because you're not him. And again I
Speaker 1: don't get into this stuff. I never have, but you
Speaker 1: have radicalized me real quick. Boston Paul, what's I just
Speaker 1: want to be clear, Boston Paul is not on the
Speaker 1: short list for senator because everyone would be dead.
Speaker 12: Yeah, what's a oo sah?
Speaker 1: Oh?
Speaker 12: Come on, man, just come down a little bit instead
Speaker 12: of that coffee. No, I don't want to be saying up.
Speaker 12: Once you get Marc a call, see if he's done
Speaker 12: working for Trump, and we'll primary this guy. I'm up,
Speaker 12: I'm in.
Speaker 1: I got a hundred mark Mark Walker or Mark Walker
Speaker 1: or Mark Robinson.
Speaker 12: Mark Walker.
Speaker 1: Sure you know what, yeah, absolutely one hundred percent. Walker
Speaker 1: wants to run per se. You can have a weekly
Speaker 1: spot on this show and tell us about to get
Speaker 1: the same offer because equal time. So whatever.
Speaker 12: But hey, you said you were drinking coffee this morning.
Speaker 12: I mean, don't be drinking Colombian coffee. Have a little
Speaker 12: smoke of Colombian gold.
Speaker 1: Why don't I get some Bolivian marching powder? So I
Speaker 1: can get you further am coom or whatever he does. Yeah,
Speaker 1: the reason you could get the problem, Boston Paul. The
Speaker 1: problem with you running for Senate is where you're from.
Speaker 1: And as we know, considering where you're from, Boston Paul,
Speaker 1: the only way you can be an effective senator is
Speaker 1: to murder an aid first, So I don't want you
Speaker 1: to do that.
Speaker 12: Okay, well all right, wait a minute, Wait a minute,
Speaker 12: what about Ross? I mean he's done with the Water
Speaker 12: and Soil Commission?
Speaker 1: Right wait wait, wait, are you gonna murder Ross?
Speaker 2: Is that Ross?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Here he could run.
Speaker 12: He's done with the Water and Soil can't He went
Speaker 12: the Senate?
Speaker 1: Now, no, this is how we get camps. All right,
Speaker 1: you got you're full of bad ideas. Get out of here,
Speaker 1: all right, Go be safe, Go be safe. Most people
Speaker 1: get bread and water. I'm pretty sure he went to
Speaker 1: Tarja and I got about six cases of beer. So
Speaker 1: Ross has been tasked with going to target to today.
Speaker 1: So he's very excited. Uh yeah, I think Boston Paul
Speaker 1: just read to kill you, bro, so saying I want
Speaker 1: to watch out all right, So, uh, full show is
Speaker 1: silly today but super serious too, So going back to this, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I'm going to be very curious if among the senators
Speaker 1: who are stated to care about this story that just
Speaker 1: appeared compliments of CBS and others surrounding Pete Hegseth, a
Speaker 1: story that is literally denied by the person who is
Speaker 1: the focus of the story. We're doing the Kavanaugh thing again,
Speaker 1: and God helped me. I started in my mind, I'm like,
Speaker 1: which senators is it? Are they talking about? Jonie Ernst
Speaker 1: came to minds because she's had some problems with Hegseff
Speaker 1: and then tell us what the second guy I thought of?
Speaker 1: If you don't know the story, here it is David
Speaker 1: containing new allegations against Defense Secretary nominee Pete Hegseth. NBC
Speaker 1: Shulie Serkin help break this story, she joins us, Now
Speaker 1: what more can you tell us?
Speaker 13: Well, Chris, this is significant because for the first time,
Speaker 13: we are hearing on the record of somebody who spoke
Speaker 13: directly with Samantha Hegseth during the time in which she
Speaker 13: was married to Pete Hegseth, who shared concerns fearing for
Speaker 13: her safety. I'm talking about Danielle Hexseth. She's a former
Speaker 13: sister in law to both Samantha and Pete Hexseth. She
Speaker 13: says in this copy of this affidavit, a redacted version, quote,
Speaker 13: I have chosen to come forward publicly as significant personal
Speaker 13: sacrifice because I am deeply concerned by what Hexset's confirmation
Speaker 13: would mean for our military and our country. She adds
Speaker 13: that part of her reason, and this is so significant, Chris,
Speaker 13: for coming forward is because I have been assured that
Speaker 13: making this public statement will ensure that certain senators who
Speaker 13: are still on the fence will vote against Hexset's confirmation.
Speaker 13: But for that insurance, I would not subject myself or
Speaker 13: others refer to in this statement to the public scrutiny.
Speaker 13: This statement is likely to cause.
Speaker 1: This woman is claiming that she has essentially struck a
Speaker 1: deal with likely GEOP senators to block heag Seth. Now
Speaker 1: the woman in question, this is the sister in law.
Speaker 1: The actual wife denies this categorically, and yet it was
Speaker 1: the lead story on CBS News last night. Is that
Speaker 1: audio is from? Is that Tom Tillis? Is he one
Speaker 1: of them? I have some questions. Hang on, just send
Speaker 1: me an email Ross and it said stay away from
Speaker 1: open windows in the building. The Greensboro facility does not
Speaker 1: have open windows on the elevated floor. However, the Raleigh
Speaker 1: facility does, although I don't know if it still does
Speaker 1: or it'd be about.
Speaker 2: There's still like three of them opening. Chocked them up there, the.
Speaker 1: Three still open. Okay, this on this fine week.
Speaker 2: Walk right up this morning. It looked right at him.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm in Greensboro, Rosses and Raleigh right now, so
Speaker 1: I don't know if they fixed it, but all right, yeah,
Speaker 1: so that's why I'm in Greensboro. I'll just say that,
Speaker 1: it's not really why I'm in Greensboro, but whatever, that's
Speaker 1: the seventh floor probably not surviving that. All right, dude,
Speaker 1: I just saw the wildest we're gonna we're gonna talk
Speaker 1: about the church thing from me yesterday and h and
Speaker 1: that insanity, which, by the way, is that Tom tell
Speaker 1: Us' his church that he goes to, I think it is,
Speaker 1: which is an extra added bonus this morning. But we
Speaker 1: have this cruise ship story that's one of the craziest
Speaker 1: things I think I've seen in a while. However, because
Speaker 1: we try to be intellectually honest here, I will come
Speaker 1: up with why I think there's a possibility not I
Speaker 1: don't even know possibility is the right word. There is.
Speaker 1: There is an iota of potential for the reason they
Speaker 1: gave for this thing that I will tell you about.
Speaker 1: But I want to grab a call first and Brian,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 4: Hey, guys, you know, just thinking about what you were
Speaker 4: saying before. Excuse me, I'm really getting kind of frustrated,
Speaker 4: Well not kind of, I am extremely frustrated with this
Speaker 4: this BS. You know, the woman who was the ex
Speaker 4: wife has come out and publicly said and I know
Speaker 4: you mentioned this book, but not totally. One, she never
Speaker 4: said that. Two, she does not have a representative who
Speaker 4: would have said that. She has not hired a lawyer,
Speaker 4: she does not have anybody else who would have been
Speaker 4: her mouthpiece. She did not say this. So this is
Speaker 4: a clear total fabrication. But is getting me like so
Speaker 4: ticked off? Is these things happen all the time by Democrats.
Speaker 4: It is their actual playbook. And I know somebody on
Speaker 4: kids I think it was a point who said it.
Speaker 4: You know, doesn't matter if it's true or not. Make
Speaker 4: the most outlandish allegation and let it do its thing,
Speaker 4: which its thing is, you know, to be negative against
Speaker 4: that person, even if it's not true. For as long
Speaker 4: as we need it to do that thing and then
Speaker 4: move on when we when it's proven that it's not true.
Speaker 5: Right.
Speaker 4: It is so frustinting because what happens is they only
Speaker 4: get fined if they actually get sued. They need to
Speaker 4: freaking go to jail because finding these people does nothing
Speaker 4: to them. It is a drop in the bucket because
Speaker 4: obviously somebody paying these people to do this, and the
Speaker 4: people who get fined look to that person who paid
Speaker 4: them and they say, yeah, okay, yeah, I'll pay the
Speaker 4: five million bucks. I'll pay the fifteen million bucks. It's
Speaker 4: pits in a bucket to me. I don't care. We
Speaker 4: got our thing, we we got our goal.
Speaker 1: You can't you can't use that p word, okay, but
Speaker 1: I'll keep you on normally and hang up on you.
Speaker 1: And because I understand your level of frustration, but I
Speaker 1: also right now is the last time I need the
Speaker 1: FCC crawling up my butt. And I wouldn't put it
Speaker 1: past till us to do it. So all right, anyway, I'm.
Speaker 4: Some of the word that you could say. I'm sorry
Speaker 4: about that. I apologize.
Speaker 1: I'm on the fence. Yeah, I'm on the fence, but
Speaker 1: I don't think it is But anyway, go ahead. Yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know, but yeah, I mean right now.
Speaker 4: To well, how do we get somebody to rewrite laws
Speaker 4: that's basically say, redeless is now something if it's used
Speaker 4: for political game, you go to jail.
Speaker 1: Well, look, there's there are first there are First Amendment
Speaker 1: issues over the words. However, in the same way that
Speaker 1: we have slander and libel that exists out there, you
Speaker 1: have to work it through that. I don't want to overcorrect,
Speaker 1: because if you honestly believe, just for a moment, let's
Speaker 1: say that this woman honestly believes that this uh, this
Speaker 1: this sister in law, and and she's being somewhat manipulated
Speaker 1: obviously by political powers that be. I don't know. If
Speaker 1: I again, we're giving to the benefit of the doubts,
Speaker 1: she honestly believes that she had she hallucinated or whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't care. You have to figure out how you
Speaker 1: hold those opportunists who would then use it knowing that
Speaker 1: they don't necessarily have that. And I don't know what
Speaker 1: that looks like, but like you, I would be very
Speaker 1: curious to have that conversation. That's that's a I'm that that.
Speaker 4: The fact that somebody believes what they're saying is what
Speaker 4: makes it okay? That's ridiculous. If I believe that I'm Jesus,
Speaker 4: does that make it okay for me to go around
Speaker 4: and be but it don't lead or whatever?
Speaker 1: No, yes, yeah, no, no, no, but it does, but it does.
Speaker 1: I'm not going to compromise my principles just because I
Speaker 1: totally agree with you, sir, because others have been willing
Speaker 1: to do that. But I think that there is room
Speaker 1: within the law because while she may believe that a
Speaker 1: you know, a lot of a lot of law comes
Speaker 1: down to what a reasonable person would believe, Right, that's
Speaker 1: a standard. What would the reasonable person? And if you
Speaker 1: are Adam Schiff and you look at this and then
Speaker 1: you hear directly from the person who is supposedly quoted,
Speaker 1: the fact that you would launch on that, now you're
Speaker 1: not being a reasonable person. Because I can't think of
Speaker 1: another scenario where the media would run and go, hey,
Speaker 1: this we heard this thing. Did it happen? But and
Speaker 1: they go no, And there's not a reasoning why they
Speaker 1: might lie like they Nobody's explain to me why his
Speaker 1: second wife, who probably is still pretty po that he's
Speaker 1: onto his third wife, would would lie and so if
Speaker 1: they don't have that to then run with it. Now
Speaker 1: we're getting into a different thing than an individual who
Speaker 1: may think they're Jesus. Do you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 4: Okay, I understand the difference, but but here's the thing
Speaker 4: you're basically saying. Then I can go around saying things
Speaker 4: about you because I personally believe you would have said
Speaker 4: these things and you would have felt this way. That
Speaker 4: is that that's ridiculous. No, no, no, I can beat this
Speaker 4: both person for any person I want, because hey, I've
Speaker 4: listened to Casey on the radio for the past ten
Speaker 4: years and I know what Casey thinks.
Speaker 1: But the onus isn't on you, sir, No, no, no,
Speaker 1: But the onus isn't on you, Brian. And I don't
Speaker 1: mean this as an insult, because you're not the media,
Speaker 1: you're not the amplifier, you're not in a life official.
Speaker 1: You are a guy who's who. Let's say you posted
Speaker 1: that on Twitter and if I denied it, it was
Speaker 1: an r L picked it up. Shame on w r
Speaker 1: L for not having anything other than some random guy's tweet.
Speaker 1: It's nuanced. But I hear you.
Speaker 4: No, but I hear you too, and I totally agree. Again,
Speaker 4: So then who put this on the air? People who
Speaker 4: did it because they have a political right benefit that
Speaker 4: they want to see. Those people should go to jail,
Speaker 4: not getting fine, not get a slap on the wrist
Speaker 4: by the FCC or whoever. Go to jail, because that's
Speaker 4: the only way to stop it. Because again, and they
Speaker 4: said in the beginning, these people don't care. They're like, oh,
Speaker 4: you're gonna find me a million bucks? Okay, great, yeah,
Speaker 4: well right, I agree.
Speaker 1: Check, yeah, let's stay Cavanaugh. Yeah, they had no there's
Speaker 1: not a single person who who decided to jump on
Speaker 1: the Kavanaugh was running rape conga lines who probably believed
Speaker 1: it or wherever held accountable.
Speaker 4: So I'm I'm with, how do we change this?
Speaker 1: I don't know the answer to that.
Speaker 4: Well, when you talk to one of the politicians, can
Speaker 4: you bring this up? Hey, we need to make stronger lives.
Speaker 4: Sure it's not just her.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's Here's here's the deal. When Michael Wattley accepts
Speaker 1: the deal that I have offered this morning to give
Speaker 1: him the airtime to to do what he's going to do,
Speaker 1: it will be the first thing we discuss all he's
Speaker 1: got to do is throw tillis to the wolves. That's it.
Speaker 1: I ask one thing of them, that's it, and I
Speaker 1: will ask your questions. Sir.
Speaker 2: All right, good deal than you.
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, thank you for the call. Look at
Speaker 1: that wheeling and dealing on this fine morning. Speaking of
Speaker 1: the church, So yesterday you probably saw the video. The Trumps,
Speaker 1: the Vances and others head over to uh the Episcopal
Speaker 1: church there up in DC. It's a pretty standard tradition.
Speaker 1: Day after inauguration, you have this service, and emaciated bon
Speaker 1: Jovi looking woman decides she's going to use this opportunity
Speaker 1: to go ahead and make some political points. Absolutely one
Speaker 1: thousand percent disgusting. But yet here we are in the name.

Speaker 14: the people in our country. We're scared now. There are gay,
Speaker 14: lesbian entrance ginger children in Democratic Republican and independent.

Speaker 1: So they're all cleaners and crop pickers, like could you
Speaker 1: do the meme?

Speaker 14: we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals.

Speaker 1: explain it to you. He does on the regular and
Speaker 1: our good neighbors.
Speaker 14: They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues,
Speaker 14: Wodara and temples.
Speaker 1: Okay, rejecting this and mocking it is the wrong play.
Speaker 1: I think that Trump administration should embrace this.
Speaker 2: Hear me out.
Speaker 1: They should embrace it because the Democrats celebrating this and saying,
Speaker 1: look here you go, this woman just explained it to you.
Speaker 1: Then you are of the opinion that churches should dictate policy.
Speaker 1: So if you're Trump, I'm like, you know what, there's
Speaker 1: a great idea. I think the churches should dictate policy,
Speaker 1: not this church, but this I don't know, Franklin Graham's church,
Speaker 1: and then operate based on They would lose their minds.
Speaker 1: That's how I would play it, because this this is
Speaker 1: a violation of this tradition and frankly, this woman should
Speaker 1: never be allowed to speak to another elected official for
Speaker 1: using this to do that. As much as everybody screams
Speaker 1: about separation of church, Trump should embrace it, find the
Speaker 1: church that comports with his voters, and let them dictate
Speaker 1: policy and then watch them scream that's my entertainment rate, stagic.
