Speaker 1: We're gonna go ahead and get into it. So I
Speaker 1: love the conspiracy theory surrounding the uh, the whole Daniel
Speaker 1: Penny thing. So and if you don't know what those are,
Speaker 1: that's fine. We will we will visit as the as
Speaker 1: the show unfolds today. So you're gonna love that. Alvin Bragg.
Speaker 1: I don't know how that guy keeps his job even
Speaker 1: in New York City. So we will, uh, we will,
Speaker 1: we will touch upon that. But let me ask you
Speaker 1: the question on the Daniel Penny thing. How weird is
Speaker 1: it that last week I guess at the very end
Speaker 1: of last week on Friday, and then obviously in the yesterday,
Speaker 1: how weird is it where you have the top charge
Speaker 1: out of three charges, you have a top charge. Obviously
Speaker 1: your top charge is going to be your you know,
Speaker 1: your your most jail time and all the rest of it.
Speaker 1: And the jury is deadlocked right on essentially your top charge,
Speaker 1: your top manslaughter charge that was Friday, and then you
Speaker 1: have this really weird series of events that the prosecutor
Speaker 1: and the judge basically agreed to right where we can't
Speaker 1: call it, well, we're deadlocked on this, what do you
Speaker 1: want us to do? And then you read those jury instructions,
Speaker 1: which were public, they were printed, and they're just like,
Speaker 1: all right, only if you believe he did this thing,
Speaker 1: do we want you to consider this other thing? And
Speaker 1: then on Friday they're like, well, on the first thing,
Speaker 1: we can't figure out whether we think he did that,
Speaker 1: so what do we do? And at that point it
Speaker 1: should have been deadline, right, That's that's what everyone just
Speaker 1: assumed based on the way in which these these things work.
Speaker 1: And the judge is like, well, yeah, let's let's just
Speaker 1: go ahead and rewrite how you go about this. So
Speaker 1: to have them deadlocked on the top charge and then
Speaker 1: to apparently tell the judge they're, you know, all in
Speaker 1: unison on the lesser charge is kind of weird. And
Speaker 1: yet that's what played out. So I'll give you I
Speaker 1: don't give you the details. I don't know all the
Speaker 1: details as to what they talked about, but it's really strange, right,
Speaker 1: And there's theories like some of the jurors, even the
Speaker 1: jurors who thought maybe there might be some culpability, were
Speaker 1: just disgusted with the way that the judge handled it.
Speaker 1: I mean, that's the theory that's out there. I don't
Speaker 1: know that it's true, but it's really strange, so we'll uh,
Speaker 1: we'll get into the details there. And also speaking of strange,
Speaker 1: if you show up to work today, you're on your
Speaker 1: way to work, maybe right now, or you're getting ready
Speaker 1: or whatever, maybe you're there already and one of your
Speaker 1: co workers is running around with a Captain America shield.
Speaker 1: You think that's weird, wouldn't you? A grown adult with
Speaker 1: a with a Captain America shield literally taking into the
Speaker 1: break room and now, well, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, dude. Well,
Speaker 1: I'm sorry.
Speaker 2: This thing is incredible. Look at this. It's so solid. Man.
Speaker 2: It's like, can I.
Speaker 1: Come in with the katana and we see how solid
Speaker 1: it is?
Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead, it's gonna it's gonna break your gatana
Speaker 2: right right half?
Speaker 1: You think the kaitana will break on whatever the hell
Speaker 1: that thing is.
Speaker 2: I received this yesterday in the mail from a friend.
Speaker 1: How do you go to the bathroom holding that thing
Speaker 1: on your one arm?
Speaker 3: There?
Speaker 2: You know, I've u it's something you used to get
Speaker 2: used to, okay from yesterday. I'm not gonna lie, man,
Speaker 2: it's kind of hard to do. Like the job when
Speaker 2: I have it right here on top of the board,
Speaker 2: like it like, it doesn't make it. He said, the
Speaker 2: board is getting in the way of my shield. Yeah, okay,
Speaker 2: all right, so your job is getting in your way
Speaker 2: of your other job.
Speaker 1: If there's a Captain America.
Speaker 2: If there's a technical difficulty America shoes are stalling, or
Speaker 2: if you know, buttons aren't being pushed because the shield
Speaker 2: is on top of the board. I can't it's made
Speaker 2: out of ibranium.
Speaker 1: I can't. Can't.
Speaker 2: Yes, it is.
Speaker 1: It feels like the luminum.
Speaker 2: So no, it does not. It is heavy. It's like
Speaker 2: fifty pounds.
Speaker 1: It's not. If it is, it's not those things how
Speaker 1: much shit what I'm telling you it is. Somebody mailed
Speaker 1: that to you.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And then the box was super heavy and I'm like,
Speaker 2: what is it? Like, what is in this thing?
Speaker 1: It might have been a bomb and you just opened
Speaker 1: it and you realized that right as I started to
Speaker 1: open it.
Speaker 2: I see the red stripe and then the silver, and
Speaker 2: I'm like, the red stripe like the Jamaican beer. Right,
Speaker 2: it's like the Captain America shield that poled out. And
Speaker 2: Marky is like, because my buddy Michael, whose house I'm
Speaker 2: going to bulldoze, send it to me. In the mail.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, I wondered who got it to you?
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, So Marky goes, what stupid thing did
Speaker 2: he send you this? And before she could finish the sentence,
Speaker 2: I go, this is the coolest gift I have ever read.
Speaker 2: She goes, she goes, what is I said? Is a
Speaker 2: Captain America's shield? And she goes, You're gonna be walking
Speaker 2: around the house with them. I'm like, I'm gonna bring
Speaker 2: it to work.
Speaker 1: I'm not walking around everywhere with that.
Speaker 2: It's the most precious metal on earth.
Speaker 1: Can you imagine you're in the sheets and some guy
Speaker 1: comes in to rob it and sees you with that shield.
Speaker 2: Oh no, he's not robbing it.
Speaker 1: No, he's like, all right, I'm going elsewhere.
Speaker 2: Like if I was Daniel Penny on the train with this, yeah,
Speaker 2: would it never happened?
Speaker 1: Wait? Wait? Wait, which part guy.
Speaker 2: Would have been like, I'm a crazy lunatic, I'm gonna
Speaker 2: take over the train way. Oh that's vibranium. That is he's.
Speaker 1: Just looking for something to eat.
Speaker 2: I'm off.
Speaker 1: Wait wait, you don't think he'd just be looking for
Speaker 1: something to eat even if you had that, Because I
Speaker 1: heard yesterday from the lawyers. He was just looking for
Speaker 1: some to eat. Why does it always come down to this?
Speaker 1: Remember when AOC is like, oh no, the reason they're
Speaker 1: robbing that CBS from everything that's inside is because they're hungry.
Speaker 1: And I'm like, I don't know, man, they're stealing like
Speaker 1: tide can't eat, I mean, can heat tied once. But
Speaker 1: you know he's wearing it on his arm. He's literally
Speaker 1: what he's trying to do a board with a shield on.
Speaker 1: Have you thrown it yet? Does it come back?
Speaker 2: Or I nearly took my wife's heat off?
Speaker 1: Okay? Why why do people said this stuff like this?
Speaker 1: I mean I thought it was A listener.
Speaker 2: Said it's an amazing kid.
Speaker 1: It's still it's it's you guys know, it's not plastic.
Speaker 1: The damn thing is like steel or something.
Speaker 2: You it's it's I haven't tested the metal, but it's
Speaker 2: like fifty pounds and I'm guessing vibranium. But it is heavy.
Speaker 1: So there you go. That's that's what we're dealing with
Speaker 1: this morning. Anyway, six twenty Ross's cap.
Speaker 2: I could do this all day.
Speaker 1: Okay, Well no not, I said the thing that's good good?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, no you did? You did say the thing. So
Speaker 1: are you at some point gonna uh talk about how
Speaker 1: you get that reference because it's old? Okay, all right,
Speaker 1: well we'll we'll we'll look out for that anyway, six
Speaker 1: KCODA Radio program, Hang on, hold on, Oh no, no,
Speaker 1: I got it. Oh what are you doing? When we're
Speaker 1: sitting there and we're like, why does he have a
Speaker 1: bag full of monopoly money? What's going on with that?
Speaker 1: Because that's what they found in that backpack of the
Speaker 1: guy who allegedly assassinated the healthcare ceo. He had monopoly money.
Speaker 1: And so the speculation, at least my speculation yesterday was
Speaker 1: that was part of the plan to throw on the dude,
Speaker 1: and he just spaced it because why, I mean, why
Speaker 1: else do you have it?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: A bunch of monopoly moneies. But every single story I
Speaker 1: read yesterday, every single story I read yesterday in the
Speaker 1: whole getting to know you of this. First of all,
Speaker 1: his name is Luigi Mangioni. Is that Am I pronouncing
Speaker 1: that correctly? Luigi Mangioni or Mangioni? You eat it all
Speaker 1: of garden free right? If that's your name, I'm not
Speaker 1: sure what the law is. I'm assuming that's the law.
Speaker 1: This dude.
Speaker 2: You walk in and they're like, sir, can we help you?
Speaker 2: And you're like, I'm a luigia.
Speaker 1: You doing the thing with your hand?
Speaker 2: You doing with your hand, and they're like, you get
Speaker 2: a corner booth.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, all right. It's what's weird is he's clearly
Speaker 1: not a poor dude who couldn't afford his healthcare like dudes.
Speaker 1: Rich family's rich family's very rich. You know you were saying,
Speaker 1: you read something that they might be richer than the CEO.
Speaker 2: That's what I was reading, Yell, some of the threads
Speaker 2: I was reading yesterday, because they're talking about like the
Speaker 2: amount of property that this guy's family owns his ridiculous. Yeah,
Speaker 2: like that's money was real estate.
Speaker 1: So so what do you think might have triggered him there?
Speaker 1: What do you think might have made this guy go,
Speaker 1: you know what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna get on
Speaker 1: a bus from Atlanta, which by the way, is not
Speaker 1: a poor person thing. He's clearly trying to evade tracking
Speaker 1: his travel. I think that's pretty clear there, and then
Speaker 1: go up to New York and then this is the
Speaker 1: thing that he does. That's what's crazy. So you got
Speaker 1: to ask yourself, what would indoctrinate somebody to do that?
Speaker 1: And then you look at a social media post You're like, oh,
Speaker 1: this guy's backcrap man. But also he needed a little nudge.
Speaker 1: I'm just wondering. He's a big anti capitalist, former Ivy
Speaker 1: League student, that's what we know. Doesn't like the capitalism.
Speaker 1: I'm wondering. I hate to point fingers here. Do you
Speaker 1: think that, let's say, hype a thing, of course? And
Speaker 1: I think, what did he? I think he lives in
Speaker 1: Honolulu or at least lists that as his thing. But
Speaker 1: he's a tected What would cause somebody to go, you
Speaker 1: know what I need to do? I need to go
Speaker 1: shoot me a CEO, even if they're kind of crazy,
Speaker 1: which is what this feels like. It's almost as if
Speaker 1: it's it's almost as if somebody was out there going, hey,
Speaker 1: all the CEOs are evil and they want to starve
Speaker 1: you to death because they're greedy. Can I throw I
Speaker 1: didn't throw this out initially, I controlled myself, but I
Speaker 1: you know, now I'm wondering, why would somebody go through
Speaker 1: all the trouble of murdering the CEO? And uh, then
Speaker 1: I'm thinking, I wonder if there's been any you know,
Speaker 1: any presidential candidates or something out there who ran basically
Speaker 1: a campaign on how all the CEOs are evil.
Speaker 2: It's super weird, though, because this guy was walking around
Speaker 2: like quoting Ted Kazinski stuff.
Speaker 1: There's so many weird stories on him, like here's I
Speaker 1: got the New York Post one in front of me.
Speaker 1: Like his big his big thing before he was into
Speaker 1: murdering CEOs of healthcare companies was he was online crusading
Speaker 1: against Japanese sex toys, which apparently are a problem. Yeah,
Speaker 1: he wanted. He was crusading on social media to try
Speaker 1: to get people to ban sex toys from Japan, saying
Speaker 1: that the introduction of him is similar to the fall
Speaker 1: of Rome. So the the downfall of America is going
Speaker 1: to be Japanese sex toys. Maybe. I don't know, is
Speaker 1: that a big enough problem.
Speaker 2: I gotta tell you, man, I at no point ever
Speaker 2: have I ever come across a Japanese sex toy. You're
Speaker 2: over at somebody's house, like what's that on the shelf
Speaker 2: over there, and like, oh, that's from Yokohama or whatever,
Speaker 2: Like I've never but this guy was passionate. Yeah, you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: that that's the reason I'm going to murder everyone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I like, so I have no idea what's going on?
Speaker 1: So then I wonder, I'm like, well, how does somebody
Speaker 1: with all of these things, you know, University of Pennsylvania
Speaker 1: Ivy League, hatred for Japanese sex toys, hatred for the
Speaker 1: Japanese urban environment. These are things that he like wrote about. Dude,
Speaker 1: It's just everything is strange. So then I have to wonder.
Speaker 1: I'm like, how to get in this idea that, hey,
Speaker 1: you know what you need to do, what you need
Speaker 1: to do, you got to you gotta murder a CEO
Speaker 1: there man. So all right, so let me just bullet
Speaker 1: point this stuff because it's too crazy to go through
Speaker 1: each point. So I'm just gonna bullet point what's going
Speaker 1: on here. One, he wanted flesh lights band, which are
Speaker 1: from Japan. I whish I didn't know. Apparently from Japan,
Speaker 1: so he wants those banned. I'm not sure how the
Speaker 1: flesh light hurt him or what. And if you don't
Speaker 1: know what that is, i'd kind of encourage you not
Speaker 1: to google it if you want to, you know, if
Speaker 1: you don't want a weird day. All right, So that's one,
Speaker 1: but like he he was very offended by Japanese culture.
Speaker 1: It was so strange, Like he was offended by sushi
Speaker 1: here we go. Uh, we need to ban tanga flesh
Speaker 1: lights and replace conveyor belt sushi and vending machines with
Speaker 1: real human waiters. So, I I don't know what that is.
Speaker 1: He's very anti capitalist as you look through some of
Speaker 1: the stuff, so I think that's kind of in line
Speaker 1: with it. Also, let's see here his favorite here we Go.
Speaker 1: He also commented on his favorite individuals who helped motivate him.
Speaker 1: You had Huxley, which, dude, all those Huxley If that's
Speaker 1: if you don't know who that is, google it. That's
Speaker 1: not a good role model. Okay, that's one, Tim Urban,
Speaker 1: Jonathan hat and Ted Kaczinski. Okay, all right. And then
Speaker 1: he would just he just posts a bunch of stuff.
Speaker 1: Brave New World, by the way, is Huxley's book. You
Speaker 1: don't who Huxley is. Huxley is not a fan of capitalism.
Speaker 1: This guy clearly was not a fan of capitalism or
Speaker 1: Japanese adult toys for summer, which I guess is maybe
Speaker 1: the capitalist angel. I don't know. So Huxley's book Brave
Speaker 1: New World is a critique of capitalism. So even if
Speaker 1: you don't who Huxley is, you might have heard of
Speaker 1: that book. And it's not a positive critique. It's when
Speaker 1: you get into the bourgeoisie and how class breakdown and
Speaker 1: how you need to revolution if you want to bring
Speaker 1: it's it's straight far left garbage. Okay, So he was
Speaker 1: on that. But also he was a big fan of
Speaker 1: Ted Kaczinsky. As Ross mentioned the unibomber he wrote, let's
Speaker 1: see here we quoted Kazinsky said, imagine a society that
Speaker 1: subjects people to conditions that make them terribly unhappy, then
Speaker 1: gives them the drugs to take away their unhappiness. So
Speaker 1: it was more so than just bad customer service with
Speaker 1: United Health, Right, this guy was. He was down on
Speaker 1: the whole process. Not a fan. Let's see here Urban
Speaker 1: the book what is web? Try to remember the name
Speaker 1: of that dude's book. These are all like radical leftists
Speaker 1: just over clear. Kazinsky is his own thing, but the
Speaker 1: other guys, even if you've never heard of him, they're
Speaker 1: like super anti capitalists. Urban wrote, what's our problem? Was
Speaker 1: the name of the book is self. I think it's
Speaker 1: called it I think it's called self help for societies.
Speaker 1: What's our problem or something like that. Basically, it's just
Speaker 1: down with capitalism. Man. So this dude is one hund
Speaker 1: cooked on a hatred of capitalism. Now why he then
Speaker 1: chose Brian Thompson the CEO. There's still more to get at,
Speaker 1: but clearly he fixated upon this dude and decided that's
Speaker 1: what he was going to do.
Speaker 2: Umm.
Speaker 1: Also, he's not a fan of men. I'm just reading
Speaker 1: some of this stuff too. Apparently we suck. I don't
Speaker 1: know how you can say that Sir Ross has a
Speaker 1: Captain America's shield. If something happens like he's gonna have
Speaker 1: to go, you know, handle that on behalf of everybody
Speaker 1: at the radio stare.
Speaker 2: You know, I moved it to the window. Okay, was
Speaker 2: getting the way of the board, so but I put
Speaker 2: it there.
Speaker 1: You had it on the board, you had it literally
Speaker 1: covering the buttons you have to push.
Speaker 2: Well, I made the eye. I moved it because you
Speaker 2: kept giving me the stink guy. So I moved it
Speaker 2: over to the window. And now that there's a guy
Speaker 2: with a metal arm that keeps walking by.
Speaker 1: Wait, who's who, don't know, some guy who is.
Speaker 2: That all right, he keeps looking at my shield.
Speaker 1: You know what you need to do a political assassination,
Speaker 1: that's how you So what drove this dude to this?
Speaker 1: I don't know, but like he he has the Commy
Speaker 1: Starter pack in his book club right there, got his
Speaker 1: whole Commedy Starter pack going on there? Now, Ross, did
Speaker 1: you see exactly how his parents have their money? That's
Speaker 1: the one thing I wasn't clear. They have a lot
Speaker 1: of money.
Speaker 2: So I sent you that thread. Yeah, I just retweeted
Speaker 2: in the show account that talks about like the family's
Speaker 2: assets and holdings.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, That's what's crazy, is like the dude's not
Speaker 1: he's not poor, his family's not poor, but he doesn't
Speaker 1: like he hates him some capitalism man. So I don't
Speaker 1: I don't know if there was a point where like
Speaker 1: it then kicked into his schizophrenier or whatever, you know,
Speaker 1: whatever We're gonna find out about this dude, Like, I
Speaker 1: don't know, I don't know. He clearly doesn't look well.
Speaker 1: But to be fair, he's also posting a lot of
Speaker 1: the stuff that quote unquote I league deep thinkers posts,
Speaker 1: so maybe they're all not well. So I don't know.
Speaker 1: All right, So let me give this thread that Ross
Speaker 1: teschts to me. Yeah, yeah, No, dude went to a
Speaker 1: super expensive prep school one hundred percent. Yeah. So the
Speaker 1: family has a quote unquote real estate empire in Baltimore
Speaker 1: founded by his grandfather. Dude, I think what honestly, I
Speaker 1: think you're dealing with a dude who was bored. Maybe
Speaker 1: there's some stuff going on upstairs, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: But somebody who was very shapeable gets a constant diet.
Speaker 1: Don't send me how to make your own fleshlights?
Speaker 5: Sir?
Speaker 1: Why would you admit that to anybody? Ross, Do you
Speaker 1: want me to send this somebody? Just send me how
Speaker 1: to make your own?
Speaker 6: No, I'm good now.
Speaker 1: You sure I can send this to you because it's
Speaker 1: now in my email For some reason I can send
Speaker 1: this to you. Is hiding behind the shield? No, you're
Speaker 1: dealing with somebody who looks like one of these. Why
Speaker 1: are these why are these revolutionaries? And this isn't something
Speaker 1: that is strictly new to society right now? Why are
Speaker 1: these revolutionaries a bunch of rich kids?
Speaker 2: Because they have no actual real struggle, so they're looking
Speaker 2: for something to struggle against.
Speaker 1: Correct, correct, And this isn't Again, this isn't nude chay
Speaker 1: e Era chay Gavara. Uh, sitting there on your T shirt,
Speaker 1: you little camy. Listening to the show right.
Speaker 2: Now, I'm reminded of the speech that Tyler Durden gives
Speaker 2: in Fight Club about how they have no struggle and
Speaker 2: no great war.
Speaker 1: And you know that's fair, It's that's I honestly, as
Speaker 1: I'm sitting here and I'm reflected on his stuff, yes, Sam,
Speaker 1: I'm like, what would drive this dude to do it?
Speaker 2: And then I start remembering, I'm like, he's just he
Speaker 2: doesn't have anything to do, like there's no you know,
Speaker 2: for most of us, our lives are in and and
Speaker 2: even people who are wealthy, I don't want to.
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm this is not my my goal to
Speaker 1: sit here and trash on people who have made themselves
Speaker 1: some money, Like you get bored. I even know guys
Speaker 1: who would make a lot of money who just get
Speaker 1: bored with stuff and then they just keep trying other stuff.
Speaker 1: And obviously what they've done to that point allows them
Speaker 1: to do that, but they're clearly bored. But then I'm like,
Speaker 1: all right, so how did that shape? What did it?
Speaker 1: You know? What did it look like? And it looks
Speaker 1: like this dude got himself a bunch of comic books,
Speaker 1: hated some capitalism, probably loathed his parents. And then you
Speaker 1: got to ask yourself, how did he get there? How
Speaker 1: in his mind was he convinced that capitalism And by
Speaker 1: the way, it doesn't mean that the CEO has to
Speaker 1: be a good guy. Excuse me, sit my water here,
Speaker 1: like the stuff that they're finding out about the CEO
Speaker 1: with that lawsuit, or he basically may have rug pooled
Speaker 1: kind of like the hot tooy girl a bunch of
Speaker 1: people over one hundred and ten million dollars, does it?
Speaker 1: Guy might have been a piece of garbage. Still still yeah,
Speaker 1: you know, you know, get a murder him in front
Speaker 1: of the Hilton. Thank you, thank you water. Appreciate that,
Speaker 1: all right? So how did he get from reading all
Speaker 1: this commy literature to I gotta do something? And I'm
Speaker 1: told that when politicians say stuff, if they say things
Speaker 1: or they put a map out of districts they're targeting,
Speaker 1: that they're really sending secret dog whistle messages that you
Speaker 1: should go murder people. What is a presidential campaign where
Speaker 1: every day you ran the same tired line that CEOs
Speaker 1: are evil and they're here to bankrupt you and starview
Speaker 1: to death over their greed. What do you think that
Speaker 1: does to a person who's clearly fixated on this stuff?
Speaker 1: If I could just fingerpoint for a moment, are we
Speaker 1: allowed to do that? Well, there'll be a reflection on
Speaker 1: how this guy got indoctrinated to this point, because he's
Speaker 1: clearly indoctrinated. It was the University of Pennsylvania. Was it
Speaker 1: this idea that you know, anyone who engages in capitalism
Speaker 1: is evil? His hatred of Jordan Peterson. He hated some
Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson. He also posted how the state of modern
Speaker 1: America is mimicking the fall of Rome and may have
Speaker 1: something to do with the decline in religiousness. So this
Speaker 1: dude's all over the place, all over the place, and
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure they'll attach it to Trump at some point,
Speaker 1: or at least attempt to. I haven't seen it yet
Speaker 1: this morning, but it's coming. Let me just go on
Speaker 1: the prediction it's coming. They'll find one little thing in there,
Speaker 1: they'll be like, oh, it's Trump, when clearly he's influenced
Speaker 1: by all of these far left kami idiots. Let's see
Speaker 1: here do because there's one where he's sitting here kind
Speaker 1: of explaining some stuff. Let's see here. Also, he might
Speaker 1: be a he might be a dome dude, Ross, So
Speaker 1: I don't know. I saw this. He might he might be
Speaker 1: a dome. We live in a dome guy. It's a
Speaker 1: little unclear from his one post though, but it sounds
Speaker 1: it sounds like he thinks that quite possibly uh Ai
Speaker 1: may be running everything right now and we're being lied
Speaker 1: to about the let me read this the limits of
Speaker 1: space exploration and human productivity. He feels might be a
Speaker 1: farce based on the fact that we're in a dome.
Speaker 1: But he doesn't flat earth. He just says in a dome.
Speaker 1: But he kind of says it in a generic way,
Speaker 1: So I don't know. All right, anyway, Oh crap, I'm sorry.
Speaker 1: Let's take a break. We'll be right back. We're gonna
Speaker 1: chat with Senator Ted Budd and we had a lot
Speaker 1: to get to. I'll probably ask you about the shooter
Speaker 1: stuff too, because obviously, obviously, obviously that's kind of the
Speaker 1: big story. By the way, did you see who the
Speaker 1: Internet's mad at? Ross? Did you see who the Internet's
Speaker 1: mad at? And this whole thing with the dude Luigi Luigi.
Speaker 1: Who the who the the real I guess villain is
Speaker 1: in this case? All right, so check this out. Well,
Speaker 1: a couple of things you gotta know. So over the weekend.
Speaker 1: I didn't mention this yesterday, but over the weekend in
Speaker 1: New York City, they had a an assassin lookalike content
Speaker 1: near where this hilton is. Because the hilton's right it's
Speaker 1: like three blocks from Central Park there and and I
Speaker 1: guess if you're somewhat somewhat familiar, it's right where you'd
Speaker 1: walk in if you're going to the lake. They're in
Speaker 1: Central Park. I can't remember the name of the lake,
Speaker 1: but right there it's not like three blocks where the
Speaker 1: Hilton is, so literally right there in Central Park they
Speaker 1: had an assassin look alike. They had some really creepy
Speaker 1: video of these women are like, you know, oh yeah,
Speaker 1: I'd hook up with that. So whatever that is. So,
Speaker 1: who's the real villain here? Apparently the Internet's Matt and
Speaker 1: whoever turned this dude in, which is from my understanding,
Speaker 1: was a McDonald's worker and an some elderly patron I
Speaker 1: guess both recognized him and whatever. Because they wrote the
Speaker 1: way they wrote the story is really bad. They go Oh,
Speaker 1: he was caught after he try to use a fake
Speaker 1: ID at McDonald's and people are like, what the hell
Speaker 1: are you talking about. What happened was he's in the
Speaker 1: McDonald's and people recognize him, so they call the Altoona, PA,
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania Police. So the fake ID came when an officer
Speaker 1: tried to ID him and he didn't do the sovereign
Speaker 1: citizen thing. Apparently he gave him an ID and they're like,
Speaker 1: this is clearly fake and that's that's how the arrest
Speaker 1: was made yesterday. So yeah, so how do you get here?
Speaker 1: How do you? How are you very fortunate, very fortunate
Speaker 1: in your station in life. Your parents are very very wealthy,
Speaker 1: They're very successful. They have a real estate empire in Baltimore.
Speaker 1: As it's described, you go to a forty thousand dollars
Speaker 1: per year private school for you for your general education.
Speaker 1: Then you go to an Ivy League school in and
Speaker 1: you just fixate on this stuff. In fact, that urban dude.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, what is the name of his blogs?
Speaker 1: Want to be very clear here, Yeah, here we go. Well,
Speaker 1: his book is What's Our Problem? Is self help for Society?
Speaker 1: So you have this dude who is Tim Urban is
Speaker 1: his name? Yeah, wait, but why that's the name of it. So,
Speaker 1: and that's all about like AI, space exploration, human productivity,
Speaker 1: but also a general just taste for capitalism. Apparently he
Speaker 1: was a as we say in the radio business, he
Speaker 1: was a p one. So p one just means that
Speaker 1: that's your primary listening or in this case, engagement and so.
Speaker 1: And he was very active on that. In fact, the
Speaker 1: dude who writes it, the Keith Urban dude he posted,
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, that's not the point of the book.
Speaker 1: Well is it? I don't know, you.
Speaker 2: Write you write a whole book about how capitalism is evil?
Speaker 1: How is that not the point of the book at
Speaker 1: least a little? Right? I mean, you can go ahead
Speaker 1: and write that. But you know, if we live in
Speaker 1: a society where I'm told that, you know, words are violence,
Speaker 1: I just just to be clear, I'm not saying you
Speaker 1: shouldn't be able to publish this book. I got no
Speaker 1: problem with that. I'm just why is everyone avoiding the
Speaker 1: same thing that they normally do where they try to
Speaker 1: find answers to you know, who may have been up
Speaker 1: in this dude's head. And the answer is because the
Speaker 1: people who are up in this dude's head are friends
Speaker 1: of the journalists essentially, at least the ideologically, So we're
Speaker 1: not going to have a deep dive there. We may
Speaker 1: never know what fully motivated this guy. So yeah, so
Speaker 1: I was reading this other story. They were trying to
Speaker 1: figure out who called from McDonald's so that they could
Speaker 1: cancel them. They want to know who called turned this
Speaker 1: dude in essentially so that they could cancel him or her.
Speaker 1: Let's see here, Yeah, there's a whole there's a whole,
Speaker 1: big thread, really creepy stuff to the stupid bee word
Speaker 1: that ratted out my baby, Luigi, you will be dealt with.
Speaker 1: You know, we had a lot of people threatening a
Speaker 1: lot of islands yesterday literally when they were reading the
Speaker 1: Daniel Penny verdict. Uh, folks who were in there. I
Speaker 1: don't know exactly there's there, if they're relatives or not,
Speaker 1: but people are in the courtroom who who wanted to
Speaker 1: see some like, you know, they wanted that dude executed.
Speaker 1: We're screaming death threats while they were reading the verdict yesterday.
Speaker 2: It's crazy to me, I'm seeing people compare this Luigi
Speaker 2: guy to Daniel Penny as well as Kyle Rittenhouse.
Speaker 1: Right, Yeah, those are exactly the same right there. Yeah, No,
Speaker 1: people are people are losing the debt. I mean, they're
Speaker 1: trying to cancel an old woman at McDonald's right now,
Speaker 1: trying to figure out who the heck that was. Let's see,
Speaker 1: there's it's like this post right here is just a
Speaker 1: gift of somebody being shot in the head. So they're
Speaker 1: you know, we need to kill whoever, whoever that person is. Yeah,
Speaker 1: this all the whole thing is strange because again he
Speaker 1: lists his residence as Hawaii. I guess he lives in Hawaii.
Speaker 1: What is it? What lunatics from Hawaii? Remember that dude
Speaker 1: to try to assassinate Trump even though they got him
Speaker 1: in North Carolina. Wasn't he living in Hawaii or something?
Speaker 1: I mean, it's by the way, I'm not starting some
Speaker 1: sort of conspiracy theory against Hawaii. It's just it's a
Speaker 1: long way to come to stuff, you know what I'm saying.
Speaker 1: There's a little bit of travel time there, whether you're
Speaker 1: there to assassinate the former and future president or the
Speaker 1: CEO of United Health. Also on Blue Sky, Rossery on
Speaker 1: Blue Sky yesterday tended.
Speaker 2: The show account I still haven't made my account.
Speaker 1: Oh no, Oh no, they're organizing to McDonald's boycott.
Speaker 2: If you saw this, McDonald's has gone a whole bunch
Speaker 2: of free publicity this year, haven't they.
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it decides if that's what they want.
Speaker 1: But yeah, so the moonbats want to boycott McDonald's now
Speaker 1: because their hero, this murderer allegedly went to McDonald's and
Speaker 1: he got turned in, so now they got a boy
Speaker 1: and for that, I'm like, absolutely, you guys should do
Speaker 1: that so that I never have to walk to McDonald's
Speaker 1: and be around you. That'd be great. So yeah, please,
Speaker 1: by all means, go ahead and boycott the McDonald's. That way,
Speaker 1: when I go to McDonald's and get a double quarter
Speaker 1: pounder with cheese with the onions, I don't care. I
Speaker 1: live dangerously. I'm not going to run into one of
Speaker 1: you moonbats. Let's see here. The way they write this
Speaker 1: article is crazy. Mangioni University of Pennsylvania grad was six
Speaker 1: pack abs. Who writes that at art? Why why do
Speaker 1: you write that in an article? Did he use the
Speaker 1: abs to allegedly murder somebody? No, then why are you writing.
Speaker 2: That they're doing the whole de Jekov smeirenof thing where
Speaker 2: they put him on the cover of Rolling Stone.
Speaker 1: Absolutely. The manhunt has now ended, with investigators declaring he's
Speaker 1: too hot to convict, wrote one female user.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but did you see them yesterday? So when they
Speaker 2: actually had him and they're putting him in the police
Speaker 2: car whatever, you had the same people that were super
Speaker 2: disappointed that he still wasn't quote as hot because I
Speaker 2: guess the pictures from like years ago. Yeah, the boy,
Speaker 2: he's not as hot as thought he would be. Not
Speaker 2: sure I'm on board with this revolution?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, what are you gonna do? You've been
Speaker 1: ginned up all week? Do you want to sleep with
Speaker 1: a murderer?
Speaker 2: Like the fact they're comparing him to Daniel Penny and
Speaker 2: Rittenhouse is crazy, Like this shouldn't have to be spelt
Speaker 2: out or clarified, right, Like, this guy's a murderer, a crazy,
Speaker 2: commy lunatic who'd somebody in the street. Well his back
Speaker 2: was turned. And then Daniel Penny was a hero who
Speaker 2: saved people on that train, and then you have Kyle
Speaker 2: Rittenhouse who was defending himself from being murdered. It's completely different.
Speaker 1: Nah, No, they're all the all the same. So I
Speaker 1: did see, so I did laugh yesterday because somebody tweeted
Speaker 1: out that Daniel Penny and Kyle Rittenhouse have to fight
Speaker 1: now for murder, and I'm like, I don't know who'd win.
Speaker 1: I think if they were both armed equally, Daniel Penny
Speaker 1: would win, right, I think, yeah, yeah, probably, But yeah, no, no, no,
Speaker 1: they're now they're they're they're all in on this stuff.
Speaker 1: Uh let's see here labeling whoever turned them in as
Speaker 1: a snitch and a rat. Users organized on Blue Sky
Speaker 1: a McDonald's boycott. Let's see. He had a bunch of
Speaker 1: fake IDs too, which apparently were not very good. Let's
Speaker 1: see what was What was the name he was using,
Speaker 1: Mark Rosario, Mark Rosario. They're gonna go by Luigi.
Speaker 2: The anti capitalist was caught because of Starbucks and McDonald's.
Speaker 1: It's great, isn't it. It's a you know what it
Speaker 1: reminds me of. It reminds me of these Zuccati Park idiots,
Speaker 1: you know, sitting there with their Occupy Wall Street where
Speaker 1: they're all all drinking. Remember I went to for those
Speaker 1: you go you're stereotype. I went to Zuccati Park and
Speaker 1: I spent several hours interviewing and talking to the people
Speaker 1: who were there at wallet, and it was they had
Speaker 1: all the brands. Okay, like they're on iPhone, they're drinking Starbucks,
Speaker 1: they're doing all the stuff, and they're you know, I
Speaker 1: hate capitalism, So yeah, there is there is a certain
Speaker 1: amount there also. Let's see here, I'm just reading some
Speaker 1: of the other stuff in addition to not going on
Speaker 1: a jihad against Japanese adult toys, which, by the way,
Speaker 1: why would you hate it? I'm assuming I don't know
Speaker 1: all the ones that are made in Japan, but I
Speaker 1: have to assume they're probably of decent quality, right, Japan
Speaker 1: doesn't produce crap, so like, like, what would you rather
Speaker 1: have an adult toy made in China in one of
Speaker 1: their slave operations or a Japanese one that probably makes
Speaker 1: you coffee because it's so technologically Like, what a weird
Speaker 1: thing to hate on? And you know what his other
Speaker 1: thing was, ross, did you see what his other thing
Speaker 1: you really hated? And I think it was in his
Speaker 1: mind a capitalist It was a capitalism thing. So the
Speaker 1: only thing apparently he hated more than Japanese sex toys
Speaker 1: was the McRib. Hated the McRib. What a weird thing
Speaker 1: to fixate on, man, what a what a what a
Speaker 1: weird thing to.
Speaker 2: This guy, Like we said, his life was super easy.
Speaker 2: He come from the ultimate, you know, life of privilege, right,
Speaker 2: He had no purpose, no struggle, so he was looking
Speaker 2: for one. Yeah, and and there was this void and
Speaker 2: this is what he filled it with, this nonsense.
Speaker 1: This is why I point this out. I'm like, you know,
Speaker 1: maybe politicians running around going all the CEOs are evil
Speaker 1: and they want to starve you to death. Maybe maybe
Speaker 1: he heard that. I'm just I'm just I'm speculating. I
Speaker 1: don't know, but I just, you know, for a guy
Speaker 1: who spent a ton of time in a jihad against
Speaker 1: Japanese sex toys and the McRib like, clearly he's looking
Speaker 1: for something to grab onto. Oh and his hatred of
Speaker 1: Jordan Peterson. Also, he was really into that whole rom thing,
Speaker 1: which was a stupid meme thing a few months ago.
Speaker 1: I think about Rome bruh. Yeah, apparently he was really
Speaker 1: into that in what fashion. I don't know something about
Speaker 1: how it mimics what's happening in America. I just Looney
Speaker 1: Tunes stuff, man. Uh Yeah, this whole thing where there
Speaker 1: whether they're trying to figure out who the tipster is
Speaker 1: literally here's some here's a post from Blue Sky five
Speaker 1: hundred dollars reward. I need the name of whoever turned
Speaker 1: him in and then hashtag hero. I'm assuming they mean
Speaker 1: the shooter here. Uh, it's crazy. He had a bunch
Speaker 1: of different names too. I'm looking at those yesterday. He
Speaker 1: had like five IDs on him when they.
Speaker 2: He was walking around with a Faraday bag. What's out
Speaker 2: the bag? Stuff?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I did something was literally this dude was fixated
Speaker 1: on a bunch of stuff. So yeah, I'll go ahead
Speaker 1: and ask how he got in his head to go
Speaker 1: shoot the United Healthcare because remember, most people assume the
Speaker 1: story was his nana or whatever had cancer she got,
Speaker 1: you know, or his parents or his family somewhere. They
Speaker 1: they needed help, They had a United Health policy, they
Speaker 1: denied it, and so this guy took it upon himself
Speaker 1: to go ahead and revenge this stuff. I'm not seeing
Speaker 1: any of that. I don't see anything in here about
Speaker 1: big health issues him and the family. Like something drove
Speaker 1: him outside of just reading like these comedy books and
Speaker 1: and interacting with this guy who's all now wants to
Speaker 1: pretend that literally the thing he preaches about eat the rich. Yo,
Speaker 1: I didn't mean eat the rich, ruh or shoot the rich.
Speaker 1: But he clearly fixated on that stuff. And and really
Speaker 1: the theory that Ross just laid out where he's just
Speaker 1: a bored rich kid, kind of feels like it might
Speaker 1: be the thing. I mean, we'll find out more info,
Speaker 1: I'm sure, but that kind of feels like that might
Speaker 1: be what's going on here. He wanted to he wanted
Speaker 1: to do something that he felt was meaningful, and in
Speaker 1: this case, it was murder allegedly so we don't get sued.
Speaker 1: And that's that's pretty wild, man, because you gotta be
Speaker 1: you gotta be really gemmed up to do that, and
Speaker 1: it it clearly took hold here. Also, if you're not
Speaker 1: a fan of the McRib, why are you at McDonald's.
Speaker 1: That's the other thing. Do you hate the McRib? Why
Speaker 1: would you go to McDonald's and risk and countering one
Speaker 1: because they're doing the McRib?
Speaker 2: Or was he pissed off they kept cooking taking it
Speaker 2: off the menu or was it just the item?
Speaker 1: And no, he hated the McRib. He saw the McRib
Speaker 1: as capitalism bait is kind of what I'm reading here.
Speaker 2: But everything else in the menu was fine.
Speaker 1: When you said no, it's fine, that's good. The mcgrib man,
Speaker 1: they do that just to bilk you for money or something.
Speaker 1: I guess I don't know. Oh man, now that you
Speaker 1: know what they need to do, they need to bring
Speaker 1: the mcgrib back permanently just to get at this guy.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll be back.
Speaker 3: Hang out.
Speaker 4: You don't know.
Speaker 1: What that is, I'll explain why we're playing this at
Speaker 1: this point right now.
Speaker 2: How many times Rossy yesterday? At some point did you
Speaker 2: start singing this just randomly because I found myself.
Speaker 1: I found myself and thankfully it was like within the
Speaker 1: comfort of my own home, so I wasn't out in public.
Speaker 1: So if you don't know what that is, that is
Speaker 1: an old Eddie Murphy skit from SNL way back in
Speaker 1: the day. Where the skit is it's a reggae man
Speaker 1: who goes to play the VFW and then they start
Speaker 1: singing that and then at least everyone freaks out. And
Speaker 1: that was based on a story out of Georgia where
Speaker 1: a sports bar decided to have a band in who
Speaker 1: sings about kill the white people. And it's kind of
Speaker 1: like a redneck bar, a white redneck bar. So it
Speaker 1: didn't go well, it didn't go well, so we had
Speaker 1: that in there. But it's also and most of the
Speaker 1: reason we're playing it, it's also kind of what happened
Speaker 1: in the courtroom up in New York yesterday. So the
Speaker 1: Penny verdict, which again you have to understand how weird
Speaker 1: this is, because remember they deadlocked on the top charge,
Speaker 1: and then the judge did this crazy thing where they're
Speaker 1: like and you could see you could see the jury instructions,
Speaker 1: which was very clear. Only if you think that there
Speaker 1: could that they did this top charge, then you go
Speaker 1: ahead and consider these secondary charges.
Speaker 2: Like it was very clear. But when they came back
Speaker 2: said they're deadlocked to the top charge, the judge is like,
Speaker 2: all right, let's just throw that out. We'll do the
Speaker 2: other stuff.
Speaker 1: So the clear bias is how a lot of people
Speaker 1: see it. That being said, while they're reading the verdicts yesterday,
Speaker 1: at first, when they get to not guilty, some of
Speaker 1: the supporters of Penny kind of cheered, and the judge
Speaker 1: immediately admonished them. It's like no quiet down, no, no,
Speaker 1: no stop, there'll be silence in this courtroom or else. Right,
Speaker 1: So pretty standard judge stuff you've seen in every court procedural.
Speaker 1: And then as the re being the not guilty.
Speaker 2: Supporters of the dude who was killed are literally threatening
Speaker 2: to kill Penny.
Speaker 1: You're gonna die. Judge doesn't say a word. So if
Speaker 1: you're Daniel Penny, I don't know if you can go
Speaker 1: to New York anymore. And for those of you who
Speaker 1: think I'm you're exaggerating, all you have to do is
Speaker 1: go outside of the courthouse and watch the insane little
Speaker 1: press conferences or whatever you want to call those that
Speaker 1: were taking place. BLM was out there, uh hawk, whatever
Speaker 1: that idiot's name is.
Speaker 4: We need some black visialities.
Speaker 1: That's right. People want to jump up, ain't choke us
Speaker 1: and kill us for being loud. How about we do
Speaker 1: the same when they attempt to oppress us.
Speaker 2: Right, I'm ty it, tie it.
Speaker 1: Well, you're not so tired because you're out there and
Speaker 1: you're running your mouth and you're an idiot. And quite frankly,
Speaker 1: if somebody did choke you in that situation, it's not
Speaker 1: because you were loud. It's because you were literally threatening
Speaker 1: to murder people and you had a history of it.
Speaker 1: Not that Penny knew that, but everyone who was there
Speaker 1: testified that they were. And I'm quoting here scared uh liss,
Speaker 1: scared hoopless right, That's how people felt there. And the
Speaker 1: fact that they were able to get that in New
Speaker 1: York City after deadlocking on the top charge and then
Speaker 1: unanimous on the other ones. The whole thing is weird.
Speaker 1: And I wonder if, like maybe the jury didn't sense
Speaker 1: that the judge was being kind of, I don't know,
Speaker 1: a little biased there, because it blew most people away.
Speaker 1: Most legal analysts like, what, you can't even you can't
Speaker 1: just drop that charge. Because here's the reason you can't
Speaker 1: drop that charge. It literally incentivizes the prosecutor to overcharge
Speaker 1: if there's no repercussions for that. It incentivizes the prosecutor
Speaker 1: to overcharge. And if you're somebody who's not a fan
Speaker 1: of the current judicial system and policing, the last thing
Speaker 1: you should want is a system where a prosecutor can
Speaker 1: literally overcharge and there be no repercussions. You absolute morons.
Speaker 1: I mean, obviously you're dealing with stupid people. And then
Speaker 1: Jordan Neely's father, who didn't give a flip about this
Speaker 1: dude for thirty years, who has now decided he's gonna
Speaker 1: sue Penny. You gotta get paid, just really, here's the deal.
Speaker 1: You know that I don't comment on the family usually
Speaker 1: because you're dealing with somebody who lost a loved one.
Speaker 1: Until they they breach, there's a red line, and unlike Obama,
Speaker 1: once you cross that red line, game on. Do you
Speaker 1: remember Michael Brown's stepfather sitting there and Ferguson like, we
Speaker 1: need to burn this mofo down right, and we started
Speaker 1: commenting on that. Jordan Neely's father, what you tell me
Speaker 1: what you think he's implying here? And and and uh
Speaker 1: uh uh. Ross made a good point on this. It's
Speaker 1: also understand when you hear his lawyer that even his
Speaker 1: lawyer feels like he's implying something bad. It's very clear. Okay,
Speaker 1: you're ready, Here we go.
Speaker 2: I just want to say I missed my son. My
Speaker 2: son didn't have to go through this.
Speaker 1: I didn't have to go.
Speaker 3: Through this either.
Speaker 4: It hurts, really really hurts.
Speaker 2: You find what are we going to do?
Speaker 3: People?
Speaker 2: What's going to happen to us now?
Speaker 1: Don't tell me I had enough of this. My system
Speaker 1: is rigged.
Speaker 2: Come on, people, let's do something about this.
Speaker 3: Do what.
Speaker 1: Let's do something about it?
Speaker 2: Too often we have Eric Garner's mother here, this, this
Speaker 2: too often, this is happening.
Speaker 1: How nervous is that?
Speaker 2: Yeah, so he says, he's like, what are you gonna do?
Speaker 2: We need to do something, We do something, We're gonna
Speaker 2: do this, and the lawyer jumps in, he's like, we
Speaker 2: need to do so too often the justice system. Like
Speaker 2: the panic on his face, like please.
Speaker 1: What's to burn? Stuff? That's I don't know if you yeah,
Speaker 1: because you don't want to be the lawyer up there
Speaker 1: after they raised three blocks of midtown Manhattan with arson.
Speaker 1: You don't want to be the lawyer that's running in
Speaker 1: in perpetuity and a loop on the news like what
Speaker 1: we meat is you should write letters to your members
Speaker 1: of Congress. That is clearly not what Jordan Neely's father means.
Speaker 1: Jordan Neely's father, I'll even take him at face value
Speaker 1: that he is honestly upset, although his uh, his parenting
Speaker 1: would not would not lead me to that conclusion.
Speaker 2: I mean, this dude, the guy was a drug addicted
Speaker 2: lunatic who was threatening people on the train. He'd been
Speaker 2: arrested forty two times previously. Where was the debt? And
Speaker 2: it's not surprising that he can't admit that he was
Speaker 2: a failed father. Yeah, was he not surprising that he
Speaker 2: can't take responsibility for that.
Speaker 1: But well that's why. Now he's got a lawsuit, So
Speaker 1: that'll that'll solve everything. Well, and and this and the
Speaker 1: the the real horrible part of it is, uh, he'll
Speaker 1: probably be successful in some way in that lawsuit. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's one thing. It's one thing to sit there as
Speaker 1: a juror and decide that this dude needs to be
Speaker 1: thrown in jail. Right even if even if you don't
Speaker 1: like the whole quote unquote vigilante side of it, you
Speaker 1: you still you're still dealing with a person's life there.
Speaker 1: But I think that people see it a little separately
Speaker 1: when it's a civil suit. So in New York City,
Speaker 1: he'll probably if that thing goes to a jury, he'll
Speaker 1: probably get awarded something. So at the you know, Daniel
Speaker 1: Penny will pay even though he didn't you know, he
Speaker 1: didn't do anything wrong. So anyway, yeah, I was there
Speaker 1: was a whole lot of quote unquote charged words that
Speaker 1: were going on outside of that courthouse yesterday. I'm actually
Speaker 1: surprised that they didn't, you know, uh, burn something down.
Speaker 1: I just assumed it was going to happen man, can
Speaker 1: you imagine, like you imagine you work at CBS and
Speaker 1: you're watching that verdict and you're just like, ah, son
Speaker 1: of them? Ugh, what is today gonna hold? Like everybody
Speaker 1: clearly understood what that father was putting down, including that
Speaker 1: lawyer obviously, all right, seven forty four, let's get raised stage.
Speaker 1: Not a lawyer, but he learned, whether.
Speaker 6: Learn?
Speaker 1: What did you think of the game last night?
Speaker 6: Oh after seven seven? I was sleeping, Yeah, don't worry.
Speaker 6: I woke up to a plethora of texts.
Speaker 1: Oh really watch the highlights?
Speaker 6: So yeah, yeah, my cousins, we all got dude. Well,
Speaker 6: I mean, I'm not surprised.
Speaker 1: It turned out to be. I don't know what's going
Speaker 1: on with Cincinnati. I guess would he pay it to
Speaker 1: three hundred million dollars? He just stops learning to throw
Speaker 1: as you guys have evidence? But Joe Burrow man and
Speaker 1: they did. Joe, did you see Joe burrow bought the tumblr?
Speaker 6: I did not?
Speaker 1: Yeah, so Joe, which is, by the way, if I'm
Speaker 1: a Bengals fan, I just is I'm mad hearing this
Speaker 1: because it's like, why don't you warn? Then he bought
Speaker 1: the tumblr from Batman? Joe Burrow owns something well and
Speaker 1: it runs, well, don't it runs.
Speaker 6: Saw yep, right, and you at least one person holding
Speaker 6: up a sign that they wanted whatever. Yeah, but just
Speaker 6: a distraction, another distraction from the game, which has become
Speaker 6: more and more common. And yeah, we got another key injury. Yeah,
Speaker 6: and nothing unexpected with you know, bonehead playing a punt
Speaker 6: like that. I you know, it's that's fundamental.
Speaker 1: Just to torture you. I really don't. Now, it's fine
Speaker 1: to torture my other friends who are Cowboys fans because
Speaker 1: they're they're absolutely they won't shut up. And last year
Speaker 1: was so painful, like we have the best defense ever assembled, right,
Speaker 1: so there is malice towards them, there's no malice towards you, sir.
Speaker 6: No, And you know what, malice is fine, It's just
Speaker 6: that I finally accepted it.
Speaker 2: I think in the.
Speaker 6: Last two years, I've finally accepted it, and I finally
Speaker 6: stopped staying up, knowing that there's a better chance than
Speaker 6: not that I'm going to be disappointed.
Speaker 1: Look, and I never used to be that one. This
Speaker 1: is a Bills fan. This is embrace the suck man.
Speaker 1: This is what we this is what we do. You
Speaker 1: have rains great, so well, yeah, a couple of them anyway. Yeah,
Speaker 1: well you never know, this could.
Speaker 6: Be your or your ear and shot. Yes, yea nobe.
Speaker 2: No, I'm looking forward to being completely crushed in January.
Speaker 2: It's gonna be great.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's just I'm just ready.
Speaker 6: Well, at least you've got something to be looking forward.
Speaker 2: To, right, Well, give us some give us some seven
Speaker 2: degree perfect golf weather.
Speaker 1: I'll look forward to that. Can you do that?
Speaker 6: Yeah, if you could dodge the rain showers, I mean condition,
Speaker 6: I mean for the for the faithful, mid sixties today
Speaker 6: and a few showers and until later today into tonight
Speaker 6: where yeah, you actually get more covered path today on
Speaker 6: the yeah, car path only today, But you could do it.
Speaker 6: It's not like blinding driving rain. It comes in kind
Speaker 6: of these waves and most of its light, thick fog
Speaker 6: this morning. Some advisories, a lot of those around the
Speaker 6: Triad Green's brown out toward Hickory and just north of Charlotte,
Speaker 6: but still heads up for fog in the region and
Speaker 6: more showers tonight and tomorrow. Actually here rumble of thunder
Speaker 6: tonight's load. Temperatures on either side of sixty so real
Speaker 6: mild night tonight, let a breezy tomorrow, upper sixty showers.
Speaker 6: There may be some heavier showers in the first part
Speaker 6: of the day. Then we'll trend colder and clear better
Speaker 6: golf weather casey for you. End of the week's Thursday,
Speaker 6: Friday gluten weather. That's the louten weather. Upper forties, upper forties,
Speaker 6: loves at night back in the twenties to near thirty.
Speaker 6: And the weekend may have some showers or I we'll
Speaker 6: talk more about the weekend soon, but damp, mild starts
Speaker 6: a week as we had talked about last week, and
Speaker 6: then kind of a cool and a dryer and to
Speaker 6: its heaviest rain probably as we headed tonight in the
Speaker 6: first part of tomorrow. And I really think the best
Speaker 6: couple of days coming will be Thursday and Friday. But
Speaker 6: again getting colder, some twenties at night for Thursday morning
Speaker 6: and get on Friday morning.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well, do appreciate it, Thank you much.
Speaker 1: We're talking it out there. You go coming up, let's
Speaker 1: see five, We're gonna chat with Senator Ted Budd. You know,
Speaker 1: one of the things I'm really curious to find out
Speaker 1: is if they you know the stated plan or at least,
Speaker 1: the speculated plan is you're going to take three hundred
Speaker 1: plus government offices and organizations, which I didn't realize there's
Speaker 1: three hundred of them, but that sounds on brand, and
Speaker 1: they want to knock it down to something like a hundred,
Speaker 1: which still sounds like a crazy number. Congress is going
Speaker 1: to have to involve themselves with that. You know, it's
Speaker 1: one thing to watch like that video the Argentinian president
Speaker 1: just you know, ah, you know, we're gonna get rid
Speaker 1: of these out of here que and and and you know,
Speaker 1: screaming that over and over. But the reality is obviously
Speaker 1: Congress though he's on the Senate side now, but you know,
Speaker 1: the financing starts in the House. So what is going
Speaker 1: to be required of Congress to facilitate the action ual
Speaker 1: slashing of government because that's where a lot of this
Speaker 1: fight's gonna come from. They're not gonna have sixty votes
Speaker 1: in the Senate for most of this stuff. And so
Speaker 1: I'm unclear because you know, remember they can go fifty,
Speaker 1: they can go fifty plus one for a lot of
Speaker 1: non quote unquote spending stuff in the Senate, which the
Speaker 1: Democrats really exploited that. So is that what the Republicans
Speaker 1: are going to do. How is this going to play out?
Speaker 1: We'll talk to the senator coming up here at eight
Speaker 1: h five, but now we'll take a break. Be right back,
Speaker 1: hang on, all right, right, But for those of you
Speaker 1: who don't know Ross, for some reason, somehow, some way,
Speaker 1: somebody sent him a Captain America shield that is correct
Speaker 1: that he's literally holding. And I don't mean a plastic toy.
Speaker 1: The damn thing is like I don't know if it's
Speaker 1: made of steal or what.
Speaker 2: Like, it's solid, no, dude, Yeah, it's like it's like
Speaker 2: least fifty pounds.
Speaker 1: And it's got like leather straps, you know, for holding
Speaker 1: the arm in there, like it's legit iled.
Speaker 2: I had to bring it in here because mark I
Speaker 2: had it laying next to the bed, next to the wall,
Speaker 2: and Marky was like, oh, you never know.
Speaker 1: If an intruders right break it.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean it's solid vibranium.
Speaker 1: No, so probably not.
Speaker 2: I think it is. That is vibranium. Yeah, So she
Speaker 2: goes it smells like metal polish and leather, and I'm like,
Speaker 2: to me, that sounds exactly what Captain America would smell like, right, Yeah,
Speaker 2: nail nails it and grit, you know, right, could do
Speaker 2: this all day.
Speaker 1: Nose. It's got like the the arm thing where you
Speaker 1: put your arm in there. It's literally like it's like
Speaker 1: nice leather, like I don't I don't know where one
Speaker 1: acquire something like that. So ross has it. So after
Speaker 1: the show, we're gonna see who wins his shield or
Speaker 1: my katana the listeners.
Speaker 2: It's gonna it's gonna break your gaitan in half? Is
Speaker 2: that a Hanzo sort?
Speaker 1: It might be? Well, I guess we'll find out.
Speaker 2: Doesn't stand a chance. Nobody was a gift. Somebody a
Speaker 2: friend send me this. So yeah, it was in the
Speaker 2: mail yesterday and I opened the box and I said
Speaker 2: I was opening the box and my wife Marky goes,
Speaker 2: what did he send you this time? What dumb gift
Speaker 2: did you? And I cut her off and I'm like,
Speaker 2: this is the greatest thing I've ever seen in my life,
Speaker 2: such a good gift.
Speaker 1: And she doesn't get it, does she?
Speaker 2: Well, listen, you know, I love Captain America, I love
Speaker 2: Steve Rodgers, I love the character Captain. So it's such
Speaker 2: a good gift. And now it's right here on my board,
Speaker 2: right here, for no reason, it's literally covering the thing.
Speaker 1: He needs to do his.
Speaker 2: Job for the show's protection. So what it's for the
Speaker 2: show's protection?
Speaker 1: You can't fire the next gen with leanon there like that.
Speaker 1: I don't understand a lot to get into. We're gonna
Speaker 1: chat with Senator Ted Butter at least that we plan
Speaker 1: on doing it, so hopefully he'll be along here in
Speaker 1: the next few minutes. All right, couple couple things. Oh,
Speaker 1: there we go. All right, he's coming in right now.
Speaker 1: All right, good, good, good do do do do? Busy?
Speaker 1: Senatoring things? Wait, I don't know if that's the word.
Speaker 1: Senator Ted Budd is here. Good morning to you, sir.
Speaker 1: How you doing.
Speaker 3: Good morning? Merry Christmas?
Speaker 1: Yeah you too. Oh that's right, we can say that again.
Speaker 1: So I be using that I for I have. There's
Speaker 1: a couple of really important things I want to talk
Speaker 1: to you about, but I got to hit you with
Speaker 1: this first. How crazy is this CEO assassin story? This
Speaker 1: this this Ivy League anti capitalist guy up there, and
Speaker 1: and I mean this in a Syria. We can talk
Speaker 1: about just the craziness of the story, but also in
Speaker 1: a serious way. I really wonder if some of the
Speaker 1: rhetoric up in Washington about how CEOs all want to
Speaker 1: starve you to death with their greed might contribute or
Speaker 1: at least uh a buttress some of the points that
Speaker 1: this dude seemingly was making online. Do you and and
Speaker 1: obviously that will put you as a sitting senator if
Speaker 1: somebody doesn't like what you're doing, could you know, could
Speaker 1: be a cause for concern. Obviously if we're now into this,
Speaker 1: you know the way that these death spot you know,
Speaker 1: theocracy and various types of countries operate where if you
Speaker 1: don't like something, you just go kill somebody. Like I'm
Speaker 1: just curious your thoughts as somebody who's kind of a
Speaker 1: high profile guy that probably raised the ire of an
Speaker 1: individual like this who doesn't like people who are supporters
Speaker 1: of capitalism. So here's your thoughts.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's it's a huge question.
Speaker 5: And you know, we take personal security very seriously. But
Speaker 5: with this guy, again, heart goes out to his family.
Speaker 5: But I've talked and it's so hard to get more
Speaker 5: than a few sentences in to these people that have
Speaker 5: been completely taken over by the woke mind.
Speaker 3: Leftists Marxist virus.
Speaker 5: It's not like you're dealing really on a logical spectrum.
Speaker 5: You can't really debate with them. They've just they've completely
Speaker 5: they've sealed off relationships and they've become hostile. I mean,
Speaker 5: I've seen them out in the far reaches the family.
Speaker 5: Everybody's got those that are no longer coming to Thanksgiving
Speaker 5: or whatever. And it's really sad because I'm very comfortable
Speaker 5: talking with people that believe differently than me. I don't
Speaker 5: believe in resorting to violence like this, but you have
Speaker 5: people that they have these self reinforcing networks that take
Speaker 5: them to very dark places. And I'm you know, God
Speaker 5: to have mercy on us, and may God protect all
Speaker 5: of us, because this is a really dangerous place and
Speaker 5: we saw it with this high profile shooting, and we
Speaker 5: pray that this family gets justice right now. It's very concerning.
Speaker 1: I'm more and honestly more concerning to me are the
Speaker 1: people lyingizing this dude right like they had they had
Speaker 1: like an assassin lookalike contest up in New York. And
Speaker 1: then I was watching a video or one of the
Speaker 1: TV stations went out and these girls or like he's cute,
Speaker 1: we should we should get together, Like it's really creepy
Speaker 1: stuff there, and like most people aren't serious in the fandom.
Speaker 1: But all it takes is one And I know, uh
Speaker 1: from uh being up in Washington there uh where you guys,
Speaker 1: where you guys go down to your little uh your
Speaker 1: little tunnels and stuff down there. I know that, like
Speaker 1: people like to stop you guys and try to, you know,
Speaker 1: ask questions. You see a lot of like ambush videos
Speaker 1: down there, like do you engage in those? Because usually
Speaker 1: it's like code pink ladies streaming at each other, Like
Speaker 1: there is there any nervousness to that, because that's a
Speaker 1: that's something that probably happens to you on the daily
Speaker 1: right when you when when you guys are in session.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it always happens, especially as you know,
Speaker 5: everything these heightened moments like during a Kavanaugh hearing or
Speaker 5: gorstch or you know, and we're probably going to have
Speaker 5: like when it gets close to some of these nominee votes.
Speaker 5: Who by the way, I think Trump's putting forth some
Speaker 5: real some real rock stars.
Speaker 1: That are different. Yeah yeah, yeah, sure, yeah, okay.
Speaker 5: So I mean it's something you watch for and you
Speaker 5: want to treat people respectively, like, look, this is a
Speaker 5: this is a republic. They need to have access to us.
Speaker 5: That's that's fine, but let's engage in dialogue here and
Speaker 5: not this shouting match.
Speaker 1: I do like how Virginia Fox handles.
Speaker 3: Them though, see the tough mountain woman.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Absolutely, let's talk about the mountains for a moment.
Speaker 1: So FEMA, FEMA has apologized for all those temporary housing units,
Speaker 1: the little houses and the trailers that are just sitting
Speaker 1: there in Hickory. What what are we doing? What you're
Speaker 1: apologizing you? I think they did forty seven homes out
Speaker 1: of five hundred that they've already cleared for it. Clearly
Speaker 1: there is a disconnect with what FEMA is doing. What
Speaker 1: do you say to people who say that you and
Speaker 1: other elected officials are not being boisterous enough to try
Speaker 1: to rectify this, Because that's I get a lot of
Speaker 1: email about that. They want me to ask you. So
Speaker 1: I'm asked, can you what are you doing, Ted budd
Speaker 1: to make sure that because like I in one segment,
Speaker 1: I could have organized fifty of my listeners to haul
Speaker 1: all those trailers up right, like we got this, So
Speaker 1: how is it FEMA doesn't have this? And what are
Speaker 1: you doing?
Speaker 5: Getting red tape out of the way is the bottom line,
Speaker 5: And that's what I've been doing since the late days
Speaker 5: of September when this storm was coming in. As you
Speaker 5: would see government get in way if it's somebody trying
Speaker 5: to fly a helicopter with relief supplies and the FAA,
Speaker 5: you know, trying to keep them out, or our red tape,
Speaker 5: whether it's local or whether it's federal, is just saying, hey,
Speaker 5: stop this nonsense and let these private groups do what
Speaker 5: they need to do in the early days, and when
Speaker 5: it comes to FEMA, we're going to hold their feet
Speaker 5: to the fire. So we've been somewhat successful. Well, let's
Speaker 5: remember who's in charge right now, and that's President Biden.
Speaker 5: The people overwhelmingly in North Carolina and the rest of
Speaker 5: the country popular vote and all elected to kick that
Speaker 5: administration out and bring in President Trump because he's going
Speaker 5: to run a different show. He's going to get rid
Speaker 5: of the draws, he's going to get rid of these bureaucrats,
Speaker 5: and he's going to bring in real operators that know
Speaker 5: how to build, in this case, rebuild. So a lot
Speaker 5: of it happens January twentieth at noon, and we're but
Speaker 5: I tell you what, Trump's already he's not even on
Speaker 5: the job. But Jadie Vance is on the job last Friday.
Speaker 5: He was there in a fairview. We're tragically, you know,
Speaker 5: eleven family members perished from the mud slides and the storm.
Speaker 5: Thirteen people total died. So we're cutting red tape, and
Speaker 5: you know, we're bringing as much as we can to
Speaker 5: the area as fast as we can and letting groups
Speaker 5: like Samaritan's Purse, the American Red Cross, private groups do
Speaker 5: as much as they can in these early days. And
Speaker 5: I tell you what those are the real heroes. Government
Speaker 5: has calcified over the years. And that's one of the
Speaker 5: fights why I'm on the Doge Caucus is to clean
Speaker 5: up the folks that aren't bringing any value to the
Speaker 5: American taxpayer.
Speaker 1: And it's it's good that you slid into that because
Speaker 1: that there's what I'm wondering. We have what did I say,
Speaker 1: We have three hundred plus government offices, which I didn't realize.
Speaker 1: That sounds insane.
Speaker 3: And you're talking about like departments.
Speaker 1: Yeah, various departments and various other smaller organizations that are
Speaker 1: government organizations.
Speaker 3: This is it's more than that. It's closer to four hundred.
Speaker 3: And by the way, there is no completely.
Speaker 1: From Florida was talking about this. I can't remember his name,
Speaker 1: Byron Is it Byron by Donald? Yeah, yeah, he was
Speaker 1: talking about this that's crazy, and they said, well, maybe
Speaker 1: we'll get it down to ninety nine. How does that
Speaker 1: work from a congressional side, right, because obviously now you're
Speaker 1: not in the House anymore. You're obviously over in the Senate.
Speaker 1: But when you're talking about spending allocation, all of this,
Speaker 1: Trump can cut all he once, but you guys are
Speaker 1: going to have to do stuff because there's going to
Speaker 1: be things from organizations or departments that are eliminated that
Speaker 1: still have to happen. So you have to assign it
Speaker 1: to somebody. So Trump comes through and he can look
Speaker 1: like the Argentinian president ripping all those things off. But
Speaker 1: what do you guys have to do to facilitate an
Speaker 1: actual purge of the government. If he's going to be successful,
Speaker 1: what do you guys have to do?
Speaker 5: We control appropriations, which ultimately is the spending of the dollars. Uh.
Speaker 5: He gets to administrator or preside over the administration.
Speaker 3: But that's you know where you get the word.
Speaker 5: President, But ultimately the dollars come from us by constitution.
Speaker 5: I'd like to create a new department where if these
Speaker 5: if you can't fire these people, if they fireproof themselves.
Speaker 5: Under Biden in his last days, we create the Department
Speaker 5: of Redundancy Committee or better known as DORK, and we
Speaker 5: transfer all these people to DORK and uh, you know,
Speaker 5: just pay a minimum wage and they have to sit
Speaker 5: facing forward, uh you know, you know, and look at
Speaker 5: a blank screen for a couple of days, and maybe
Speaker 5: that'll just encourage him to be in the private market space.
Speaker 1: So it's like the rubber room, right, the rubber rooms
Speaker 1: up there in the newer school system where they get
Speaker 1: teachers but they can't fire them, so they go to
Speaker 1: the rubber room. But no, no, no, it's but it's so.
Speaker 1: But it's crazy because because there is a separate element
Speaker 1: in there, like what are democrats planning, because obviously this
Speaker 1: is the thing they're going to organize against. Any cut's
Speaker 1: going to be the end of the world. Right, they're
Speaker 1: going to be out holding the press conferences, like what
Speaker 1: kind of conversations you don't have to name name, what
Speaker 1: conversations are you having with your Democrat counterparts about how
Speaker 1: they really feel about this? Because obviously when they're in
Speaker 1: when they're on camera, they're going to be apoplectic, but
Speaker 1: behind the scenes, like even they have to assume there's
Speaker 1: some waste there, right.
Speaker 5: Oh yeah, But you know, one of the biggest issues
Speaker 5: is that, really, if you've got a five trillion dollar budget,
Speaker 5: only a little over a trillion are the things that
Speaker 5: you send.
Speaker 3: Me here to vote on.
Speaker 5: So much of it is it's all the entitlements, and look,
Speaker 5: people worked hard for their social security, people depend on that.
Speaker 3: You've got to make sure that that's protected.
Speaker 5: But you've got to dig around the edges of that
Speaker 5: to make sure that waste fraud and abuse in the
Speaker 5: entitlements are fixed and removed. And that way, I mean,
Speaker 5: we can probably find close to seven hundred billion dollars.
Speaker 5: I've seen several models of that. But you got to
Speaker 5: go after the waste, fraud and abuse and misallocations inside
Speaker 5: of the entitlements so those who rightly deserve it, those
Speaker 5: who depend on it, can still get it for years
Speaker 5: to come. So we've got to dig into the appropriated
Speaker 5: dollars or the things that we vote on every year,
Speaker 5: and then you've got to go into the waste, fraud
Speaker 5: and abuse inside of the entitlement so that the good people,
Speaker 5: the right people can actually get it.
Speaker 1: Yeah, well, and Wake Forest University isn't running a one
Speaker 1: hundred and seventy thousand dollars study on what happens if
Speaker 1: we give monkeys a bunch of cocaine, which is a thing,
Speaker 1: which is a real thing. I just want to point
Speaker 1: this out that literally was part of appropriations and this
Speaker 1: is the stuff that just naused people. But we're about
Speaker 1: to be treated with the Republicans, yourself included, or trying
Speaker 1: to kill Grandma, and the media is obviously going to
Speaker 1: be willing to do it. So I don't know what
Speaker 1: that looks like. And I just I wonder if the
Speaker 1: Republicans are going to hold on this because when I'm
Speaker 1: looking at as you've mentioned the nominees, I'm seen splintering
Speaker 1: there from Joony Ernst, from Mitch McConnell, also from Tom
Speaker 1: Tillis aka Slenderman as we call him on the show.
Speaker 1: So what is the likelihood of the big name nominees
Speaker 1: that are out there that will actually get in, And
Speaker 1: what is your position on what you've heard so far
Speaker 1: of the nominees.
Speaker 5: I've met with Elis Stephonic. I mean, she's a slam
Speaker 5: dunk for the un She supports Israel. I've served with
Speaker 5: her in the House. She came in two years before me.
Speaker 5: She's tough as nails. She's from a rural part of
Speaker 5: upstate New York. She really came out during the impeachment
Speaker 5: trials and supported Trump. So she's going to do great
Speaker 5: at the UN. And then I've met with Pete Hegseth.
Speaker 5: He came in strong. I've known him for several years.
Speaker 5: I've been on Fox with him. I think you're seeing
Speaker 5: a strong Pete Hagsath, who is a different man in
Speaker 5: the last seven years than he was in his life
Speaker 5: prior to that. I mean, I really think he's on
Speaker 5: the straighten era. He wants to do right by our country.
Speaker 5: He's a decorated a war fighter and he's a great patriot,
Speaker 5: and I think he's going to make it.
Speaker 3: I'm very positive on him.
Speaker 5: I think Joni has said she's got an open mind,
Speaker 5: she's going to be opened through this process. Yeah, that's
Speaker 5: good signaling. Ultimately, it's up to her. She is from
Speaker 5: the army herself. But again, he's not He is not done.
Speaker 5: He is h He's he's got great momentum right now,
Speaker 5: and I think we're all kind of watching you know
Speaker 5: what Jani and others are going to do. But I'm
Speaker 5: supportive of Pete and I think he's going to win.
Speaker 5: I think he's gonna make it fune.
Speaker 1: What about Patel? That's the one that's really fascinating to
Speaker 1: me because I am really curious what it looks like
Speaker 1: to get in there and and reform the FBI. I mean,
Speaker 1: what is your understand Have you talked to kash Patel?
Speaker 1: I mean, what what do you expect him to do?
Speaker 1: And do you support him?
Speaker 5: So he's going to meet with those that are on
Speaker 5: the Judiciary committee first, and you know Senator Tillis is
Speaker 5: on the Judiciary and he's already signals support for him.
Speaker 5: I think he tweeted it was a great choice. And
Speaker 5: so I'll probably meet with him after that and look
Speaker 5: forward to of course, I'm going to ask him all
Speaker 5: the tough questions that you know, people agree or disagree with.
Speaker 5: But I look forward to supporting and expect that I will.
Speaker 5: But again, I'm going to have those go through the
Speaker 5: advice and consent process with him.
Speaker 1: All Right, Well, forget the PTEL side of it, what
Speaker 1: do you think needs to be done at the FBI?
Speaker 5: Well, I think you've got to get rid of Look
Speaker 5: at you what Chuck Grassley did ninety one years old.
Speaker 5: It just said that you need to remove the top leadership.
Speaker 5: You've got to remove the director and his deputies and
Speaker 5: replace him.
Speaker 3: So that's what you need.
Speaker 5: And by nominating Cash, that means that Ray is out.
Speaker 5: So I think you've got some great agents out there.
Speaker 5: And so whether it's somebody like FEMA, you know, which
Speaker 5: we talked about a few minutes ago, or whether it's
Speaker 5: like the FBI, you got folks that go to work
Speaker 5: every day and they want to help the people, they
Speaker 5: want to help the taxpayer, they want to do right.
Speaker 3: But then you've got some real politicized folks at the
Speaker 3: top that just need to go.
Speaker 5: And so I think you deal with that, and then
Speaker 5: some other people are just going to go along with
Speaker 5: the new trumpegen at, which they rightfully need to do
Speaker 5: if they want to.
Speaker 3: Keep their job.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, and I got a minute and a half.
Speaker 1: So let's go to the big elephant in the room there.
Speaker 1: This thing where talking about preemptive pardons. This is I'm
Speaker 1: a slippery slope guy, senator, and so I just look
Speaker 1: at it and I'm like, well, then the Republicans will
Speaker 1: do it, and then this will just become a thing
Speaker 1: because that's how Washington works. How dangerous is this, though,
Speaker 1: that you or your colleagues could essentially get preemptive pardons
Speaker 1: for your time serving in Congress and it would just
Speaker 1: negate everything like there's no accountability there. It's so outrageous
Speaker 1: to so many people. And I'm just curious where you're
Speaker 1: at on this thing, Like, do you think Republicans then
Speaker 1: start doing this stuff because it feels like one of
Speaker 1: those things where they.
Speaker 3: Do Boy, I sure hope not.
Speaker 5: It feels like a trial balloon that's been floated as
Speaker 5: another bad idea.
Speaker 3: Let's let's just say that.
Speaker 5: It's going to be there and it's probably not going
Speaker 5: to be issued because it's just the next level of ridiculousness,
Speaker 5: and it further undermines the Democrat.
Speaker 3: Party, which had a terrible.
Speaker 5: Blow on November fifth when the American people completely rejected
Speaker 5: their ideas. I wish it was even more rejected in
Speaker 5: other districts and a few more Senate seats, but again,
Speaker 5: when you look at the popular vote, they rejected the
Speaker 5: Democrat elitism, and this is one more indicator of elitism
Speaker 5: in those preemptive parties.
Speaker 1: And it's a tragedy that Adam Shift's about ready to
Speaker 1: be your colleague again.
Speaker 5: But yeah, Early, I think he's going to get sworn
Speaker 5: in today. I thought you want to come up for that.
Speaker 1: No, I'm good. I'm I'm going to sit here and
Speaker 1: not do that. All right, Thank you so much, senator,
Speaker 1: do appreciate it. We'll talk soon.
Speaker 3: Okay, thanks case, you see you all right, there
Speaker 1: You go, Senator Ted Budd joining us here on the
Speaker 1: Cacoday radio program, Hang On
