Speaker 1: Well that's nice.
Speaker 2: Of course, of course we will go ahead and explore
Speaker 2: as we go through today's show. What are you doing, dude,
Speaker 2: I'm telling you.
Speaker 1: Why do they stop these people? Sorry?
Speaker 2: I was just getting ready to sit here and talk
Speaker 2: about it, and I flip over to wr L for
Speaker 2: a second. Woman jumps into tiger enclosure at New Jersey Zoo.
Speaker 2: Why is this a constant stream of stories? Sorry, I'm
Speaker 2: digesting this with you right now. Okay, well she didn't.
Speaker 2: The headline is a little much. Oh well, you know what,
Speaker 2: maybe it isn't. All right, Well, I really want to
Speaker 2: know this story. I'll share the details with you again. Sorry,
Speaker 2: I'm just sitting here digesting it as as we get
Speaker 2: things rolling on this fine morning. So not just the
Speaker 2: tiger enclosure, went into the bear enclosure too, and tried
Speaker 2: to pet them. What do you think, bet alcohol, you know,
Speaker 2: it doesn't seem to be a suicidal thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know. And then they didn't catch her.
Speaker 2: How do you have that level of I'm sure people
Speaker 2: are staring at that as it's happening. And then she
Speaker 2: just casually strolls over to another critter enclosure and.
Speaker 1: Gets in there.
Speaker 2: All right, So basically, What happened is she jumped on
Speaker 2: there's two fences, there's whatever. The main enclosure is where
Speaker 2: you could actually see the animal on the other side,
Speaker 2: I guess touch them if you wanted to. And then
Speaker 2: there's the super safety one that's back. So she got
Speaker 2: in between them and try to stick her hand through
Speaker 2: and pet a tiger and then a bear. I let
Speaker 2: her do it. Why are you stopping her? Can you
Speaker 2: imagine everybody's day at the zoo that day?
Speaker 1: Holy cow?
Speaker 2: Reading some of the comments here, let's see here in Bridgeton.
Speaker 2: I don't even know dude, I don't even know where
Speaker 2: that he is in New Jersey. According to a video
Speaker 2: posted police show, the woman nearly get bit by a
Speaker 2: Bengal tiger. The visitor climbed a safety visitor fence attempted
Speaker 2: to pet the tiger. The woman jumped over the fence
Speaker 2: ignored the signs say. They say that the woman is
Speaker 2: also on video trying to do the same thing at
Speaker 2: the bear exhibit. In that case, staff stopped her. Why
Speaker 2: did let her do her thing?
Speaker 1: Man? What are you doing? Yeah?
Speaker 2: I don't understand how you then don't get hold of
Speaker 2: that individual, but whatever.
Speaker 1: All right? So there you go.
Speaker 2: I got distracted in the first few minutes, all right,
Speaker 2: coming up on the show, we got a little burger
Speaker 2: King story that was a I'm trying to find stuff
Speaker 2: that's not purely DNC, so you'll have to forgive me here.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's better for all of us if
Speaker 2: we have a little bit of distraction. But don't worry,
Speaker 2: we got plenty of DNC stuff. And I'm starting to
Speaker 2: think that literally the attendance numbers aren't that impressive, and
Speaker 2: that half the people at the DNC are like conservative
Speaker 2: influencers in disguise, because now we got I guess the
Speaker 2: Matt Walsh thing is true. Who was looking actually, Oh,
Speaker 2: James O'Keefe was looking absolutely ridiculous at this thing.
Speaker 1: He was running around and I don't even know how
Speaker 1: to describe.
Speaker 2: He had like one of those mass but with the
Speaker 2: with the filter things on the side, like a really
Speaker 2: over the top bask which I guess if you're James
Speaker 2: O'Keeffe you have to do to hide yourself. Maybe I
Speaker 2: don't know. Here's what I wout understand. If that's one
Speaker 2: thing that's the DNC. If you're an upper level government employee,
Speaker 2: how do you keep going on a date with James
Speaker 2: O'Keefe at this point, isn't there a sign or something
Speaker 2: hanging in your office that been passed around the you know,
Speaker 2: the old water cooler, Because that dude's like, the amount
Speaker 2: of times that people will continue to sit down and
Speaker 2: think they're on a date with him is He's pretty
Speaker 2: crazy to me. But his disguise there as I saw it,
Speaker 2: did not you would not know because it's so ridiculous
Speaker 2: and over the top. Also, Alex whatever that dude's name is,
Speaker 2: the guy who goes to the city council meeting gives
Speaker 2: the ridiculous things down in Texas. He was there and
Speaker 2: the BBC got hold of him, and it's simultaneously so
Speaker 2: over the top but apparently partially believable to the BBC guy.
Speaker 2: And I will say this, he's got all the catchphrases.
Speaker 2: I'll give you a little snippet of that here in
Speaker 2: a moment. But he's got all the catchphrases, right. The
Speaker 2: words coming out are so insane as to be believable.
Speaker 2: And so now the moonbats have formed little cabals of
Speaker 2: people to look for them, like they're gonna start their
Speaker 2: own witch hunt, which I don't understand, just don't talk
Speaker 2: to them, just don't interview him, because the difference is
Speaker 2: if they're gonna go quote unquote crash your thing, they're
Speaker 2: waiting for.
Speaker 1: You to talk to him.
Speaker 2: Like they're not standing up in the middle of roll
Speaker 2: call and yelling at people. You know, they're not with
Speaker 2: their sign not letting you speak any That's not the
Speaker 2: m O. The MO is to go in there, stand
Speaker 2: around and wait for somebody to interact with them. They
Speaker 2: may have like individual conversations, but they're not disrupting your program.
Speaker 2: So you know, I saw people going, you know, you
Speaker 2: can't do this because blah blah, and I'm just like,
Speaker 2: what are they doing. They're only doing things that are
Speaker 2: predicated on you doing things. So we'll give you yet
Speaker 2: another example of that. All right, So there you go,
Speaker 2: just a little bit of it. Also, we'll get into
Speaker 2: some Hollywood stuff. Have a little breather coming up at
Speaker 2: eight o five with Stephen Kent. He'll join us, so
Speaker 2: I'll give you the rest of a rundown. We'll get
Speaker 2: into the sound coming up six thirteen. Hang on, it
Speaker 2: looks like RFK Junior, especially if you you know, yeah,
Speaker 2: you listen to what his running mates saying there Missus Shanahan,
Speaker 2: I believe it's her name, is probably gonna endorse Trump.
Speaker 1: Say it's kind of a big deal. It's kind of
Speaker 1: a big deal.
Speaker 2: Especially in a handful of states, Minnesota being one of them. Again,
Speaker 2: I don't know that that's a state that's in play.
Speaker 2: Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. That being said, those
Speaker 2: are the kinds of states where RFK endorsement might go far,
Speaker 2: where people are willing to vote third party. Minnesota, of course,
Speaker 2: proved that with the Jesse Ventura insanity. Although Ventura's what
Speaker 2: he's a Ventura is now with Kamala? Right, is that
Speaker 2: what you mentioned that Ross yesterday? I hadn't seen it.
Speaker 2: So is Jesse Ventur endorsing Kamala? Is that where we are?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: I figur wou it where he was on But he
Speaker 3: said it's time for a woman to take charge because
Speaker 3: men have screwed it up enough. Well, okay, okay, all right,
Speaker 3: So I'm starting to think maybe he's I don't know,
Speaker 3: kind of allude.
Speaker 1: I don't know what.
Speaker 2: No, a little bit, but he was in that movie
Speaker 2: with the thing, I mean out for log he got
Speaker 2: him spoiler.
Speaker 3: But all right, well, I mean, he doesn't have time
Speaker 3: to bleed because he's crushing the patriarchy.
Speaker 1: Is that what? Yeah, that's what it is. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was the original line that cut it out.
Speaker 2: I thought he was crushing Exel's wive's financial future.
Speaker 1: What is that not true?
Speaker 4: I just.
Speaker 2: Checking my notes, hold on, Yeah, Nope, that appears to
Speaker 2: be the case. So yeah, all right, so yeah, so
Speaker 2: if RFK comes again, I don't know how many of
Speaker 2: it pans out. I do know that Trump in Ashborough yesterday.
Speaker 2: It looked like a good event. Obviously I didn't go
Speaker 2: to it. I'm curious if any of you did. Any
Speaker 2: of you guys go to Ashboro and it was outside.
Speaker 2: He did have like the full bulletproof setup. He's you're wondering,
Speaker 2: although at one point he decided that he was gonna
Speaker 2: go ahead and not be behind that thing anymore.
Speaker 1: So we'll get we'll.
Speaker 2: Get into some of that here in just a few moments.
Speaker 2: Let's see, you're back on the Kennedy thing. So Kennedy
Speaker 2: reportedly set to drop out of the presidential race. He'll
Speaker 2: address the nation, and he will do so while speaking
Speaker 2: at the same event as Trump. See where is he's
Speaker 2: in Arizona? On Friday, so I guess that will be
Speaker 2: in Glendale, which is Phoenix. Trump said this week he's
Speaker 2: open to Kennedy joining his administration if he were to
Speaker 2: drop out and endorse him. Let's see, here's here's Trump.
Speaker 2: He's a brilliant guy, very smart guy. I've known him
Speaker 2: for a very long time. I think he also said
Speaker 2: he's he's a quote interest seen dude, which I think
Speaker 2: is Trump speak for this guy's a little weird, which
Speaker 2: he is. But you know, people are a little weird
Speaker 2: for either good reasons, bad reasons, or reasons that I
Speaker 2: guess ston't point in either direction. You ever see the
Speaker 2: video of RFK here like last month where there's I
Speaker 2: don't know, there's like a rattle snake in his driveway.
Speaker 1: There's there's a rattle snake in his driveway.
Speaker 2: I don't know if that's his wife, whoever told him,
Speaker 2: And he's just like, oh, well, let me go out
Speaker 2: there and uh, let me just go out there and
Speaker 2: grab it with my hands. Which again, if you're a Kennedy,
Speaker 2: I mean at some point you're just like, eh, I
Speaker 2: can't fly, can't can't go for a cruise in a convertible.
Speaker 2: So and you're still you know, you're still good to go.
Speaker 2: Maybe you just think the curse hasn't hit you, man,
Speaker 2: and so you start doing dumb stuff. Although I shouldn't
Speaker 2: say that. Me and my buddies used to go and
Speaker 2: catch baby rattlesnakes and throw them at each other. Don't
Speaker 2: tell my mother. She was convinced that's what we were doing.
Speaker 2: And uh, we were not truthful.
Speaker 1: We were not. It's other that we were not truthful.
Speaker 1: It's that we kinda.
Speaker 2: Leaned away from that accusation because they had this, like
Speaker 2: the other rattlesnake caves is what we called them. That
Speaker 2: it was just an area out by the lake where
Speaker 2: a bunch of rattlesnakes lived. They basically burrowed in and
Speaker 2: you go out there and little babies are crawling around.
Speaker 2: You can fling them at each other with sticks. Again,
Speaker 2: don't do that. I'm much older now. That wasn't smart.
Speaker 2: A little more respect for the snakes too, But uh,
Speaker 2: you know, when you're uh, when you're fourteen and board,
Speaker 2: you do things like that. So uh, anyway, he'll come on.
Speaker 2: But again, I don't know what capacity do you stick
Speaker 2: that dude in? Surgeon general. I mean that if you
Speaker 2: just want the media to lose their damn minds. So
Speaker 2: what exactly exactly that looks like? I do not know,
Speaker 2: all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 2: seven fours. So did anybody head down to Ashborough and
Speaker 2: go to the Trump rally? How was it was it?
Speaker 2: Had you been to another rally? Here's why I'm asking.
Speaker 2: I want to know if the security felt different. Obviously
Speaker 2: you can't get away from the visual, right He's got
Speaker 2: all the bullet bulletproof glass around them, so you know
Speaker 2: that's going to be a bit of a change. I've
Speaker 2: been to two of the Trump events in North Carolina,
Speaker 2: and obviously that wasn't the case, the one at Dorton
Speaker 2: and the one in Charlotte at the Bojangles Center. I
Speaker 2: didn't get to the one down in Selma, but that
Speaker 2: was the one. In watching that that kind of convinced me, dude,
Speaker 2: it was gonna win, because like some of you were
Speaker 2: parking your cars on the Interstate or on the highway
Speaker 2: there and walking like a long ways, just abandoning your cars.
Speaker 2: So I don't know if it was quite that turnout Nashborough,
Speaker 2: but it looked pretty good.
Speaker 1: He had some jokes Mark Robinson was there.
Speaker 2: It was a whole thing. But at one point Trump
Speaker 2: actually had to leave the enclosure as the one of
Speaker 2: the crowd gooers needed some medical assistance. And this is
Speaker 2: a this is always such a weird thing, right, you
Speaker 2: want to be cognizant of it. Kamala did this the
Speaker 2: other day by simply asking, and they lionized her in
Speaker 2: some articles, you know, like she's an EMT. You just
Speaker 2: saved somebody's life. The politicians. If the politician gets down
Speaker 2: and starts literally giving CPR, then I think you can
Speaker 2: write these fawning articles. That being said, the story was
Speaker 2: probably much to the dismay of the secret surface, at
Speaker 2: least the ones who care. Go ahead and you put
Speaker 2: this whole thing up and and and then he's just like, uh,
Speaker 2: oh wait, somebody's somebody doesn't feel well. Let me go
Speaker 2: ahead and just leave this little cocoon that you've created
Speaker 2: for me. Let's see here, what was I'm trying to
Speaker 2: see what the medical issue was. It seems like they're okay, yeah,
Speaker 2: so they had had a medical emergency. I guess, said Rica,
Speaker 2: I don't know if they fainted. I guess they've probably fainted.
Speaker 2: And then he leaves the little glass to give him
Speaker 2: a hug. So I guess if you want a Trump hug,
Speaker 2: just pretend to pretend to pass it. Don't do that, obviously,
Speaker 2: but if that's your thing, I guess that's. Uh, that's
Speaker 2: one way if if you're close enough to the path.
Speaker 2: Let's see here. Also talked about some plans with the
Speaker 2: uh we'll get We'll get into the audio here in
Speaker 2: just a moment. But I was talking about what I
Speaker 2: hope is actually a plan, and not just for the
Speaker 2: Afghanistan insanity. Right, you have too many incidents where it
Speaker 2: is clear that you have a bunch of people that
Speaker 2: are derelict in their duty. I'm sitting at the You've
Speaker 2: heard me crying the blues about my button borrow week
Speaker 2: and now it just seems it's dead. So poor Ross
Speaker 2: is going to have to fire the audio. You're still
Speaker 2: going to get the audio, but now poor Ross is
Speaker 2: going to be extra more busy.
Speaker 1: So that's how that's going to go.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll put in a trouble ticket on that.
Speaker 2: All right, let's get over to the Ashborough rally yesterday.
Speaker 2: You got Trump there, you got I know, you hat
Speaker 2: like a gazillion people on the stage.
Speaker 1: Actually, they're getting ready to do that thing.
Speaker 2: And Trump made himself a little joke too, talking about Robinson.
Speaker 1: Going to the gym, which has been a thing for you.
Speaker 2: You talked to Mark about the gym thing, right, How
Speaker 2: long has he been doing that for a while, right,
Speaker 2: a few months he's he's called uh, he's.
Speaker 1: Called in on the show and mentioned that.
Speaker 2: So I don't know how successful it's been, but apparently
Speaker 2: that must have been something that they were they were
Speaker 2: talking about there. Uh, let's go ahead and get cut
Speaker 2: one on the Trump thing. You'll hear the little mention here.
Speaker 5: Just so you know, these are great people.
Speaker 6: But I want to get him to hell off the
Speaker 6: stage because I guarantee they didn't have this in mind
Speaker 6: when they built this. Thank goodness, Mark lost a lot
Speaker 6: of weight over.
Speaker 5: The last couple of months.
Speaker 1: I'm very you did.
Speaker 2: Actually, Yeah, So I don't know. Could people were I
Speaker 2: did see like one or two people go he's fat shaming. No,
Speaker 2: he's not, shut up, shut up. But the reason I
Speaker 2: was playing this out is we've had Mark on He's
Speaker 2: literally mentioned it, so it's a thing, and you know,
Speaker 2: and obviously they're having a little conversation there Trump.
Speaker 1: You know, Trump remembers this stuff and talk about it.
Speaker 2: I'm telling you that this is why the cognitive stuff
Speaker 2: with Trump was so stupid when all the Biden stuff
Speaker 2: was going on, because those are people would literally have
Speaker 2: a conversation with him and then he would remember it.
Speaker 2: I know it's not asking much, but the bar was
Speaker 2: really low, and you know, and it was off prompt
Speaker 2: or he's not on prompter talking about that. Just make
Speaker 2: it a little joke. And you know what, it looked
Speaker 2: like there was way too.
Speaker 1: Many people on that stage. I'm not gonna lie.
Speaker 2: He's probably sitting there like you'd probably hear it, creaking man.
Speaker 2: But that's okay. Things got underway. There was a little
Speaker 2: scare as one of the folks there had a fainted
Speaker 2: or passed out, and when they had recovered, Trump literally
Speaker 2: left his little barricade. Cut number two please.
Speaker 1: All right.
Speaker 7: Well we heard him ask doctor trying to clarify what
Speaker 7: the crowd was asking for, and appears that call was answered,
Speaker 7: and the Foreign President's wandered over there with Secret Service
Speaker 7: and chug John check out what's going on.
Speaker 2: But it's just it's just he's a gawker at a
Speaker 2: uh now, I gave a little hug whatever, all right,
Speaker 2: because look, here's the thing.
Speaker 1: You're giving a speech. Somebody's having a medical emergency. You
Speaker 1: got two choices. You chug on or.
Speaker 2: You acknowledge it, and in some way probably uh you know,
Speaker 2: impart yourself in there. So it's so funny how what
Speaker 2: a big deal people will make of then, like that's
Speaker 2: the human thing to do, and yet when one person
Speaker 2: does it, it's like, oh, they're just wandering over there
Speaker 2: like it's a car accident to stare at it.
Speaker 1: And then the other one they're like the.
Speaker 2: Touch of Jesus was flowing through Kamala and she was
Speaker 2: able to revive the pre I don't know if you
Speaker 2: saw the coverage when she spoke the other day, was fawning.
Speaker 1: But I wanted to get to the meat of it.
Speaker 1: So what's he there to talk about? What is? What is?
Speaker 2: What are the promises he's making? And you know what
Speaker 2: is a good one. There's going to be some complications
Speaker 2: because the way that we have set up, But I
Speaker 2: don't think there's anyone out there, if they're honest with themselves,
Speaker 2: doesn't think that there are people who work for us
Speaker 2: who don't work for us, and It doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be some complicated, behind the scenes coup kind of thing.
Speaker 2: You just having competent people. You can't tell me. You
Speaker 2: can't tell me that getting the job projection so wrong
Speaker 2: was done at the hands of purely one percent competent people.
Speaker 2: I refuse to believe that eight hundred thousand was the
Speaker 2: eventual number. So with that in mind, this is the
Speaker 2: Afghanistan version of it. And I'll be very curious if
Speaker 2: this is a promise he keeps and what it looks like,
Speaker 2: because they're going to fight them tooth and nail, and
Speaker 2: it needs to be bigger than this cut number three.
Speaker 5: But the voters will hold Kamala and Joe accountable for
Speaker 5: this November when I take office, and they're going to
Speaker 5: be held accountable for what they've done to this country, right,
Speaker 5: thank you. I will ask for the resignations of every
Speaker 5: single senior military official who touched the Afghanistan disaster. I
Speaker 5: want their resignations immediately now.
Speaker 2: And that'll be an interesting one too, because at what
Speaker 2: point are you a member of the military following what
Speaker 2: the commander in chief is saying, versus you were part
Speaker 2: of the folks who thought this was a good idea,
Speaker 2: and I think that he will have to draw that line.
Speaker 2: That being said, there are so many other examples. There's
Speaker 2: that obviously they're Secret Service stuff, secret Service stuff. Are
Speaker 2: we still I know that, Yeah, obviously you quote got
Speaker 2: the shooter, but are are we looking into that? By
Speaker 2: the way, do you see the new footage of him
Speaker 2: just walking around? Where's his rifle? There's video there's some
Speaker 2: video that was you know, like merchants who were just
Speaker 2: taking like pant, you know, there's pant look at the
Speaker 2: crowd kind of stuff, and you see him just strolling around,
Speaker 2: hands in his pockets, looking like a dude is just
Speaker 2: checking out the merch Where is everything? It's it's very
Speaker 2: close to the incident. Is this before I guess he
Speaker 2: went over to the home depot or whatever it was.
Speaker 2: I don't know, but like, there's a lot more to
Speaker 2: look at there. And it became very clear listening to
Speaker 2: the testimony from the now resigned Secret Service director as
Speaker 2: well as the I guess the interim they feel they're
Speaker 2: going to do things their way, and again, this is
Speaker 2: what these cats don't understand. People look at that and
Speaker 2: they filter it through their own experience. What would happen
Speaker 2: in my job if xyz, you know, the just damn
Speaker 2: near the worst thing you can think of was to
Speaker 2: go down. And everybody knows, for the most part, minus
Speaker 2: some weird nepotism or you know, for the most part,
Speaker 2: the way that that would play out is somebody wouldn't
Speaker 2: have that job anymore. They may still work there, but
Speaker 2: they're not going to work there in a supervisory capacity.
Speaker 2: And then they probably wouldn't work there. They wouldn't want
Speaker 2: to take the demotion. But that's the reality people deal with.
Speaker 2: And whether you think, well, that's unfair, this is why
Speaker 2: the government does it better?
Speaker 1: Does it?
Speaker 2: They're not more efficient? Do you one efficiency? You go
Speaker 2: to the private sector, hands down, It's not even a question.
Speaker 2: And that's how the private sector operates. So he's gonna
Speaker 2: get a lot of applause with the lines like that.
Speaker 2: You don't believe me, they're incompetent. That's fine. Let's see here,
Speaker 2: where's the cut I'm looking for? Ross is the where
Speaker 2: is the the secretary?
Speaker 1: The commerce secretary? Cut? Is that the jobs report? One?
Speaker 2: I think it is? Okay, I'm gonna play this audio
Speaker 2: and this is the cabinet member in charge of money. Okay,
Speaker 2: this is or one of them. I guess I should
Speaker 2: say this is this is the person who like, they're
Speaker 2: not the ag secretary, they're not the Department of Interior,
Speaker 2: where maybe the job's report doesn't matter. This woman is
Speaker 2: a cabinet member in charge of our economy and is
Speaker 2: being interviewed on MSNBC or CNN or whatever. And this
Speaker 2: takes place after a day of prognosticating that there was
Speaker 2: going to be this big adjustment, right because we knew
Speaker 2: that for like twenty four hours. They estimated it was
Speaker 2: between six hundred thousand and a million. We found out
Speaker 2: kind of late because they had this is the other thing,
Speaker 2: they had technical difficulties issuing the correction number. Can't somebody
Speaker 2: just go to a microphone and go, hey, it's this
Speaker 2: but whatever this is after all of that, and this
Speaker 2: woman is sitting there in this the highest of high
Speaker 2: profile positions, and the following exchange takes place.
Speaker 8: Go ahead, when you hear that, do you potentially think
Speaker 8: that this new numbers could be a liability for this campaign?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 9: When I hear that, first of all, I don't believe
Speaker 9: it because I've never heard Donald Trump say anything true.
Speaker 1: It is though from the Bureau of Labor. I don't.
Speaker 1: I'm not familiar with that.
Speaker 2: That is the United States Secretary of Commerce, Gina Romando,
Speaker 2: and she hasn't heard that and she thinks.
Speaker 1: Trump made it up. What are these people doing all day?
Speaker 1: I don't.
Speaker 2: I don't understand. There are people who pay no attention
Speaker 2: to politics and heard that story and she thinks it's
Speaker 2: a it's a Trump lie. Right after her department was
Speaker 2: partially responsible for the release, and obviously there was technical issues.
Speaker 2: So these I feel like these are things that would
Speaker 2: have been elevated to her. And she sat there hours
Speaker 2: later saying that she didn't think it was true. And
Speaker 2: I don't know if that was an effort to get
Speaker 2: the media to stop talking about it or if she
Speaker 2: I feel like she honestly. I think she honestly believed
Speaker 2: that was fake and didn't just throw that out to
Speaker 2: essentially deflight And that is the United States Secretary of Commerce.
Speaker 2: So you're telling me, you're telling me that there are
Speaker 2: not folks. And by the way, what is her background.
Speaker 2: I want to say, she's got a business background, actually
Speaker 2: one of the few within the cabinet.
Speaker 1: Yeah, she's venture capital I please, for love of.
Speaker 2: God, if that person is qualified to be the Secretary
Speaker 2: of Commerce, then obviously I understand why everyone.
Speaker 1: Else keeps their jobs.
Speaker 2: That is the biggest story she has probably had to
Speaker 2: deal with in I don't know, maybe her appointment individual
Speaker 2: one anyway, or at the very least the most recent.
Speaker 2: And she accuses it of being a Trump lie. You
Speaker 2: can't make this stuff up and six forty seven. Hang on,
Speaker 2: all right, So yesterday was VP day. Today obviously is
Speaker 2: the presidential Nominee Day at the DNC. So Tim Walls
Speaker 2: out there, you know, here's here's one thing that.
Speaker 1: I thought was kind of interesting.
Speaker 2: This isn't necessarily about Walls, but it has to do
Speaker 2: with family of the candidates, and specifically, there was a
Speaker 2: video I saw where the em Hoff's daughter, obviously the
Speaker 2: stepdaughter to Kamala Harris, her and her brother were like
Speaker 2: in a hotel room and they were kind of cutting
Speaker 2: It was very normal stuff. I know that visually she
Speaker 2: could be pretty shocking, and some people like, I don't
Speaker 2: think that's the best example for girls. But you know,
Speaker 2: aside from that, heard her brother just sitting there talking
Speaker 2: sounds very normal, and they're talking about their dad and
Speaker 2: then their dad walks in from off stay and is
Speaker 2: it scripted, probably or at the very least kind of
Speaker 2: a setup.
Speaker 1: It's fine. That being said, what is strange to me.
Speaker 2: Is the level of affinity that they still have for
Speaker 2: their father, right because remember their for their the original
Speaker 2: marriage to their mother ended when.
Speaker 1: He was sleeping with the babysitter.
Speaker 2: And I, you know, I people get over things and
Speaker 2: they gravitate towards one parent or the other, and obviously
Speaker 2: it's a much more complex situation there. But like I,
Speaker 2: you know, I know people who had a parent who
Speaker 2: had an affair and and broke up the marriage, who
Speaker 2: don't talk to that parent anymore.
Speaker 1: They just cut them out.
Speaker 2: Of their lives, right or wrong, that's what they did,
Speaker 2: and so you never know the relationship there, which is
Speaker 2: a good reason even if a politician brings up.
Speaker 1: Leave the damn kids alone.
Speaker 2: Do you see the Baron thing where they have this
Speaker 2: dude who claims to be a mental health specialist who's
Speaker 2: saying that he witnessed Baron like try to knife students,
Speaker 2: and then just there there's nothing to back it up,
Speaker 2: and they're just passed it. I saw that just being
Speaker 2: feasted upon this week, which, by the way, the guy
Speaker 2: also makes comments that clearly you wouldn't make as somebody
Speaker 2: who's a mental health professional. Right, there's certain terms you
Speaker 2: don't use when describing a especially a child who has
Speaker 2: developmental disabilities or is dealing with mental health issues later
Speaker 2: in light like you wouldn't use any of that.
Speaker 1: So it's really disturbing. And so I say that because.
Speaker 2: Some of you, probably not you, but some of the
Speaker 2: folks out there, for whatever reason, think turnabout's fair play
Speaker 2: with kid?
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 2: What on what planet do you think that you're convincing
Speaker 2: people on social media of your political prowess by going
Speaker 2: after a.
Speaker 1: What is he's nonverbal?
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know all of it, but
Speaker 2: what again, what are you doing? Same with the Baron stuff.
Speaker 2: I don't care that he's eighteen and he's going to college.
Speaker 2: They started this stuff early, and.
Speaker 1: That whole hymn is, you know, Damien on the uh on.
Speaker 2: The playground, stuff like that's been floating around since going
Speaker 2: back to Trump's when Trump was actually in office.
Speaker 1: And yet that's the direction some people are going.
Speaker 2: And I think all you have to do with Walls
Speaker 2: is just listen to him, all right?
Speaker 1: Cut number one, here we go We've got a golden rule.
Speaker 1: Mind your own damn business. He loves that. I own
Speaker 1: this again.
Speaker 10: And not a clue IVF and fertility treatments, and this
Speaker 10: is personal for Gwen and I. If you've never experienced
Speaker 10: the hell that is infertility, I guarantee you you know
Speaker 10: somebody who has. And I can remember praying each night
Speaker 10: for a phone call, the pit in your stomach when
Speaker 10: the phone had rang, and the absolute agony when we
Speaker 10: heard the treatments hadn't worked. It took Gwen and I years,
Speaker 10: but we had access to fertility treatments, and when our
Speaker 10: daughter was born, we named her Hope.
Speaker 1: Hope.
Speaker 10: Gus and Gwen, you are my entire world and I
Speaker 10: love you.
Speaker 1: Do all right, we're getting things. We're getting things rolling
Speaker 1: on this fine morning.
Speaker 2: So it's true it's a trouble ticket morning, which is
Speaker 2: you know, there's problems. Probably the audience knows too much
Speaker 2: about our trouble tickets. I think they've heard about them.
Speaker 2: So hopefully get that worked. But we'll still get the
Speaker 2: audio for you, all right. Coming up on the show,
Speaker 2: Stephen Kent will join us. We'll get our NERD correspondent.
Speaker 2: We got to talk about the Batman thing. Oh man,
Speaker 2: we're probably gonna need some warm milk and something for
Speaker 2: because the Akali got canceled. I know we were all
Speaker 2: shocked to learn that the latest Star Wars money Pit
Speaker 2: has apparently been canceled.
Speaker 1: But don't worry.
Speaker 2: It's canceled not because it was bad or unbelievable or
Speaker 2: challenged the canon to the point of exhaustion amongst.
Speaker 1: Star Wars stands.
Speaker 2: Oh, It's instead canceled because the patriarch here, So I
Speaker 2: don't know, it's pretty standard excuses there, But we'll get
Speaker 2: into that here with Stephen Kent and a few other
Speaker 2: things that'll be coming up one hour from now. All right,
Speaker 2: we're talking about Tim Walls there. I'm gonna play this
Speaker 2: cut again. I'm gonna play this cut again that we
Speaker 2: just played because Walls is talking about IVF and this
Speaker 2: is why they've decided.
Speaker 1: To go the route of how dare You?
Speaker 2: Which I can't play right now, But they decided to
Speaker 2: go with the how dare you not to address the
Speaker 2: issue where he clearly.
Speaker 1: Misrepresented what the treatment is.
Speaker 2: Now if he'd had done it out of just being
Speaker 2: a guy who didn't understand although when you're doing something
Speaker 2: like that as a couple, I would assume that you
Speaker 2: educate yourself, especially if you're in a position to be
Speaker 2: a governor. Okay, so rather than address that one is
Speaker 2: one thing, one is the other. But it doesn't take
Speaker 2: away from the fact that if you're trying to have
Speaker 2: a kid and it's challenging, it's an emotional roller coaster.
Speaker 2: But you're in politics now and you now have a
Speaker 2: history of misrepresenting things, going back to your service and
Speaker 2: your rank as you left, and your rank when you
Speaker 2: were putting together your Congressional challenge coin. And you're carrying
Speaker 2: a weapon of war into war. So if you have
Speaker 2: that track record misrepresenting the specifics of the fertility treatment
Speaker 2: with one being much more more of a slog, maybe
Speaker 2: not emotionally, but from going to the doctor standpoint, people
Speaker 2: are going to pick up on that. But instead here
Speaker 2: we go hear his how dare you outrage? Let's play
Speaker 2: cut number two again.
Speaker 1: We've got a golden rule. Mind your own damn business.
Speaker 1: You made it, you the help, you wouldn't shut up about.
Speaker 10: It and not include IVF and for kility treatments. And
Speaker 10: this is personal for Gwyn and I. If you've never
Speaker 10: experienced the hell that is in for tw I guarantee
Speaker 10: you you know somebody who has. And I can remember
Speaker 10: praying each night for a phone call, the pit in
Speaker 10: your stomach when the phone had rang, and the absolute
Speaker 10: agony when we heard the treatments hadn't worked. It took
Speaker 10: Gwen and I years, but we had access to fertility
Speaker 10: treatments and when our daughter was born, we named her Hope.
Speaker 10: Hope Gus and Gwen, you are my entire world and.
Speaker 1: I love you.
Speaker 2: So that's what that was. That was how dare you
Speaker 2: look at my kids? Why would you even question this?
Speaker 2: And it is It is a very personal situation. However,
Speaker 2: once you decide you're going to use it, and yes,
Speaker 2: as a politician, even if you're trying to be genuine
Speaker 2: and if you bring up something because you're trying to connect,
Speaker 2: you're still kind of using it. And the difference is
Speaker 2: he would bring it up a lot. They're you know,
Speaker 2: just like the service stuff. There's a lot of instances,
Speaker 2: and when you're doing that, you're also playing on the
Speaker 2: emotion of people you're talking to because you're saying, look,
Speaker 2: I can identify. So if you can identify, and you
Speaker 2: tell them that, and you talk about it in words
Speaker 2: that they've undergone the same treatment somebody who's sitting there,
Speaker 2: who's maybe had to go through the implementation procedure and
Speaker 2: everything that goes with it multiple times makes a connection
Speaker 2: with you. And if it's not a truthful connection, that's
Speaker 2: a problem.
Speaker 1: So that's how they.
Speaker 2: Chose to play it. I'm not surprised. And then let's
Speaker 2: go cut number one with Tim Wallas. Check this irony out.
Speaker 10: Leaders don't spend all day insulting people and blaming others.
Speaker 1: Leaders do the work.
Speaker 10: So I don't know about you. I'm ready to turn
Speaker 10: the page on these guys. So go ahead say it
Speaker 10: with me. We're not going back.
Speaker 2: I can't even So have you seen the numbers on
Speaker 2: the on the mentions of Trump at the DNC versus
Speaker 2: the mentions of Biden at the RNC. I think Biden
Speaker 2: got mentioned in the first few days four times.
Speaker 1: Four times.
Speaker 2: Now, obviously they're key focused on Kamla. I understand that,
Speaker 2: but ultimately, when you're talking about why things are the
Speaker 2: way that they are, them invoking Trump, I think it
Speaker 2: was seventy three times in the first two days versus four,
Speaker 2: it sounds like you are man and and like, that's
Speaker 2: that's the whole premise of insulting there so again, and
Speaker 2: then everybody claps with it. Do you think if Donald
Speaker 2: Trump came out on stage and said that he wasn't
Speaker 2: going to insult or nickname anyone, that everyone would clap.
Speaker 2: I feel like they wouldn't. I feel like they'd be like, oh,
Speaker 2: what are you talking about? Like you're nick you know.
Speaker 2: For some people, some people obviously see it as tiring
Speaker 2: and they don't think it's there. But a lot of
Speaker 2: people think it is turned about is fair play. And
Speaker 2: every single day it's some new accusation with the word
Speaker 2: ist at the end. My political opponent is a is
Speaker 2: a rapist? Is a racist? Is uh, you know, a bigot?
Speaker 1: Whatever it is?
Speaker 2: So I'll be very interesting interested to see if that,
Speaker 2: in fact is the uh is the case?
Speaker 1: All right?
Speaker 2: Seven thirteen phone number eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 2: seven eight seven four. Let's see here, all right, we
Speaker 2: gotta we gotta get to the Judy Woodruff thing again.
Speaker 2: Every single day it's something in the accusation that was
Speaker 2: leveled a Trump yesterday. It that's a big damn deal
Speaker 2: and she was very wrong. We'll get to the details
Speaker 2: next hand. Well that's nice there, thank you, do do
Speaker 2: do do do all right? Uh sorry, I gotta I
Speaker 2: gotta do some stories that ain't ain't what's ain't what's
Speaker 2: going on with Sorry, I'm just sitting there trying to
Speaker 2: save something, uh not what's going on over at the
Speaker 2: d n C, which we'll get to here in just
Speaker 2: a moment.
Speaker 1: I'm just.
Speaker 2: I don't understand. I don't understand people sometimes, Man, on
Speaker 2: what planet do you think that this is? And and
Speaker 2: I think people are being unfairly critical of those who
Speaker 2: are upset about this and has to do with a
Speaker 2: burger king cook. I was just reading the details of
Speaker 2: the story.
Speaker 1: You know what.
Speaker 2: Screw the whoever decided this was a good idea. We'll
Speaker 2: share that with.
Speaker 1: You in just a moment. But first, let me go
Speaker 1: ahead and jump back to to this.
Speaker 2: So, in addition to Tim Walls, you gotta have you're
Speaker 2: in Chicago, man, who do you gotta have? You gotta
Speaker 2: have the opera? So and look you know where she's
Speaker 2: coming down. So of course, wheel the Oprah out. Let's
Speaker 2: go ahead and do this cut number three.
Speaker 1: Go ahead. Oh, I'm sorry we're doing that. Let's do the.
Speaker 2: Oprah cut please, because you've got to have Oprah, if
Speaker 2: you're in Chicago.
Speaker 1: We just try to do the best we can to
Speaker 1: save them. And if the place happens to belong to
Speaker 1: a childless cat.
Speaker 2: Lady, I don't understand how that's become the ceased thing.
Speaker 1: But I don't understand.
Speaker 2: I understand grabbing things your opponent says and using them like.
Speaker 1: Very famously Hillary.
Speaker 2: Clinton with deplorables, right, I understand how you parlay that
Speaker 2: is the childless cat lady. Does that rise the level
Speaker 2: of deplorables? I think they're trying to make it that,
Speaker 2: but then I see a bunch of people whining about
Speaker 2: it that all look like.
Speaker 1: Childless count ladies. So I don't know.
Speaker 2: I and and then of course they're making up scenarios
Speaker 2: why that is, well, you know this, this horrible thing,
Speaker 2: this one instance happened, and there it's representative. They're talking
Speaker 2: less about that, and they're talking about this phenomena. And
Speaker 2: I see it when they do like man on the
Speaker 2: like clearcut man on the street stuff, not where they're
Speaker 2: only putting the bias stuff or they're actually trying to
Speaker 2: talk to people. And what I keep seeing in these
Speaker 2: videos where they're out there going all right, Trump or
Speaker 2: Harris is. It's almost exclusively middle aged white women who
Speaker 2: are all in on the Harris but can't explain why.
Speaker 2: And then they go and they talk to people they
Speaker 2: talk to They're run around talking to minorities in Chicago
Speaker 2: and like the kids are screaming Trump right, And and
Speaker 2: when you ask those individuals, like they were interviewing this mom.
Speaker 1: She got two kids that are just you know.
Speaker 2: Eight old and sugar whatever parents know what that feels
Speaker 2: like she's trying to do an interview. By the way,
Speaker 2: she's not a soft parent. She's very aggressive, so I
Speaker 2: could appreciate that. But they're asking her and she can
Speaker 2: give a concise answer why Trump. And it's very simple
Speaker 2: because right now she's running around with her rug rats,
Speaker 2: you know, try to keep her sanity and run her
Speaker 2: errands and watch whatever money she has stretch far enough
Speaker 2: so her family can eat, her kids can have back.
Speaker 2: I think they were getting back to school stuff and
Speaker 2: she was exhausted over that. And she's sitting there and
Speaker 2: she's watching her dollars go away, and she's saying to herself,
Speaker 2: I don't necessarily like Trump, but when we were going
Speaker 2: to school for Johnny here. Five years ago when he
Speaker 2: first went into kindergarten, I don't remember this being a thing.
Speaker 2: So it's in a way, it's really nice to not
Speaker 2: be in a position right now where the economy now
Speaker 2: versus five years ago is literally make or break, not
Speaker 2: where you don't notice. I don't care how much you make.
Speaker 2: You notice right now or you're I guess in a coma.
Speaker 2: But when you're talking to people who don't have the
Speaker 2: privilege of being an HR, you know, by vice president
Speaker 2: of HR at some woke company somewhere, and you get
Speaker 2: a camera shoved in your face and you're like Harris
Speaker 2: all day. I can't tell you why, but I just
Speaker 2: love her. For those of you who like to talk
Speaker 2: about privilege, that's a pretty good one for that not
Speaker 2: to matter, or at the very least for you never
Speaker 2: to be able to admit that it matters. Versus talking
Speaker 2: to the elderly couple. It was part of that same
Speaker 2: interview as I was watching. One was Hispanic and one
Speaker 2: was white, if that matters to you, and they were
Speaker 2: just talking about how concerned they were that their retirement
Speaker 2: was going to hold and they were able to talk
Speaker 2: about with Trump why they think that's a better thing.
Speaker 2: You can say that they're wrong. At least they had
Speaker 2: an answer, But you never know the lunacy that you're
Speaker 2: going to be presented with. So you know, Oprah Winfrey,
Speaker 2: even though she never married, she's not who you're talking about.
Speaker 2: I've driven by her house in Montecito because I was
Speaker 2: just when I got down there to Santa Barbara. It's
Speaker 2: one of the suburbs. I'm like, a look at these
Speaker 2: places and it's ridiculous. It is ridiculous, the homes in there.
Speaker 2: I don't begrudge people. Good for you if you got it,
Speaker 2: but they're not talking about you, Oprah. And of course
Speaker 2: she's gonna come out and feed that beast. And then
Speaker 2: here comes Bill Clinton. Now Bill Clinton, they were talking
Speaker 2: about some of the health issues he's dealing.
Speaker 1: With, and it's I'll tell you what.
Speaker 2: There's a lot of people, a lot of folks, very
Speaker 2: high profile people, where you hear these diagnoses. Man, and
Speaker 2: you just you don't see this stuff coming. And I
Speaker 2: don't know fully what's going on with Clinton, but you
Speaker 2: know he's got he's shaking, his hands are shaking and stuff.
Speaker 2: And the thing that stood out to me when I
Speaker 2: went and saw Clinton when he was he was campaigning
Speaker 2: for Barack Obama, and he came to the Target Center,
Speaker 2: which is where the Timberwolves played basketball in Minnesota, and
Speaker 2: I had to go down and cover it, and I'm
Speaker 2: fine with that. And by the way, it was interesting
Speaker 2: because you could still roll in there, even with a
Speaker 2: lanyard that said the station that people on the left hated,
Speaker 2: and people were still civil then. And I remember watching
Speaker 2: Bill Clinton and what got me is his use of
Speaker 2: his hands. He has giant hands, and he giant long fingers,
Speaker 2: and he throughout the speech, he'll be waving him in
Speaker 2: front of his face and all you could think is, damn,
Speaker 2: that man's got giant fingers. So and I don't know
Speaker 2: why that stuck out to me, but then when they
Speaker 2: were talking about some of this other stuff, it just
Speaker 2: kind of clicked. But here is Clinton yesterday during his
Speaker 2: spiel two days ago.
Speaker 11: I turned any the oldest man in my family before
Speaker 11: a generation. And the only personal vanity I want to
Speaker 11: assort is I'm still younger than Donald Trump.
Speaker 2: All right, So you know he's up there cutting up whatever,
Speaker 2: and you know what I'll give. I don't do you
Speaker 2: mind Clinton as much as as Obama and UH and
Speaker 2: and Biden. Do you mind him when you hear him speak?
Speaker 2: Do you think that do you think that he's as
Speaker 2: vicious as and underhanded? Now, look everything we know about Clinton,
Speaker 2: or do you think some of it teams with age
Speaker 2: or maybe that wasn't even his thing? Admittedly I was
Speaker 2: pretty young when Clinton was in there. I was still
Speaker 2: in high school maybe middle school when he came in. No,
Speaker 2: I was in high school, just into high school. So yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't know. So if he wants to crack jokes
Speaker 2: about the age, that's fine, pretty pretty innocuous. Well we'll
Speaker 2: get into little Hollywood stuff. We got Stephen Kent joining
Speaker 2: us uh and more than enough to chew on there.
Speaker 1: Check this out.
Speaker 2: So the head hamas dude and described as the October
Speaker 2: seventh mastermind. Yah yaha, sinoar. I don't know how to
Speaker 2: pronounce it. Also don't care.
Speaker 1: He he is.
Speaker 2: He is definitely one of I think the top three
Speaker 2: that they've kind of been like, all right, look if.
Speaker 1: This, if this goes, these are the dudes we're going
Speaker 1: to be greasing. Okay.
Speaker 2: And he's also one of these cats who never really
Speaker 2: hangs out in Gaza.
Speaker 1: He's in London or Dubai. I don't even know where
Speaker 1: he is right now. I think he's he's is he
Speaker 1: a Arab Emirates or something.
Speaker 2: Anyway, So as they're talking about a ceasefire deal, he
Speaker 2: had he had a little extra thing he wanted in there,
Speaker 2: according to officials are this is a new report from
Speaker 2: New York Post officials who are part of the ceasefire discussions.
Speaker 1: Which what the hell that means, I don't know. At
Speaker 1: this point.
Speaker 2: Sinhwar had emphasized during the most recent round of negotiations
Speaker 2: that in addition to and they got a bunch of stuff,
Speaker 2: they want some settlements moved. They want a bunch of
Speaker 2: money which will just be for food and medical supplies
Speaker 2: and totally won't go towards weapons. He also wants to
Speaker 2: not be killed, so a little personal requests there in
Speaker 2: what it is supposed to be a business thing. Yeah,
Speaker 2: So Sinowar has emphasized that as part of any ceasefire,
Speaker 2: his safety must be guaranteed. That according to a senior
Speaker 2: Egyptian official, because again it's not just the US folks
Speaker 2: that are in there on this negotiation.
Speaker 1: They got folks from a lot of the Middle Eastern countries. Too.
Speaker 2: Sinowar insisted on guarantee for his safety and security to
Speaker 2: be assured. Sinwar, by the way, the reason he's in
Speaker 2: charge is because we greased the other dude last month
Speaker 2: and he had just put in the work on the
Speaker 2: October seventh attack, so of course they elevated him to
Speaker 2: the head of Hamas.
Speaker 1: So that's the guy. Hey, what do you do in
Speaker 1: this situation?
Speaker 2: Because if there's a dude who needs murdered, now I
Speaker 2: think we can agree. If there's somebody on this earth
Speaker 2: who needs stuffed into a wood chipper, it's this dude, right,
Speaker 2: his whole thing, his master production was the absolute slaughter
Speaker 2: of individuals all over Israel, folks who are at a
Speaker 2: music festial. I don't have to remind you of this,
Speaker 2: and just all the horribleness that went with it. That's
Speaker 2: his that's his thing, and it literally then got him
Speaker 2: a promotion. And now you've got to guarantee not to
Speaker 2: kill him. And what happens if he I don't know, uh,
Speaker 2: what happens if I there was an accident, right trips
Speaker 2: and falls on a bullet or something like it, then
Speaker 2: it turns into a whole thing. I wouldn't have any
Speaker 2: business guaranteeing this. The US can say we're not going
Speaker 2: to assassinate you. But whatever Israel wants to do or
Speaker 2: whatever maybe some of your irritated countrymen want to do,
Speaker 2: that's not on us. Maybe you shouldn't be such a
Speaker 2: giant piece of crap and murdering everybody, and then people
Speaker 2: won't want to murder you. I don't know, it just
Speaker 2: it afflicts me, Like we see these stories where you know,
Speaker 2: some lawyers out there playing games about the death penalty
Speaker 2: for a client who murdered.
Speaker 1: Like eight kids.
Speaker 2: Sorry, but there's going to be a receptive audience. Remember
Speaker 2: you had our own government who just a couple of
Speaker 2: weeks ago, try I had to do a deal with
Speaker 2: the mastermind of nine to eleven and to give him
Speaker 2: to get rid of the death penalty on three thousand
Speaker 2: counts of murder. So they probably will guarantee this guy's safety.
Speaker 2: And my only hope is that some other country, Greece
Speaker 2: is or maybe just a random dude, I don't know,
Speaker 2: get some you get some pumped up ex soldiers like
Speaker 2: no more.
Speaker 1: I you know, how do you even control that?
Speaker 2: Because you can't go, yeah, we won't kill you, and
Speaker 2: then all of a sudden, your head explodes like a
Speaker 2: melon three seconds later.
Speaker 1: Thanks for showing up to the signing.
Speaker 2: But if anything does happen to him, even if we
Speaker 2: have nothing to do with it, it'll still be used
Speaker 2: in a propaganda fashion. The US and Israel lie, The
Speaker 2: Jews lied, right, they can't be trusted even if this
Speaker 2: guy gets Greece for just you.
Speaker 1: Know, being around Gazer or whatever.
Speaker 2: Or there's infighting, which there is within Hamas, there's infighting
Speaker 2: over who was going to take charge. Is absolute absurdy, fellow,
Speaker 2: personal request, can you imagine?
Speaker 1: But we do this stuff right, There is a.
Speaker 2: Window in which you can do awful stuff and if
Speaker 2: you'll agree to stuff, we'll just let you go. And
Speaker 2: why wouldn't they in Gaza think this?
Speaker 11: Right?
Speaker 1: They?
Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't that many years ago speaking of
Speaker 2: we just had the Clinton audio. Wasn't that many years
Speaker 2: ago where we basically told a dude he could abscond
Speaker 2: with billions of dollars talking about Yasser Arafat and we
Speaker 2: just let that happen. Uh with Saddam Hussein, remember before
Speaker 2: we did Shock and Awe, before we went into Baghdad,
Speaker 2: Saddam Hussein was told he can basically fill up his
Speaker 2: coffers and go wherever he wants. You just can't stay here.
Speaker 2: You don't got to go home, but you can't stay here.
Speaker 2: And had he taken that, the US would have abided
Speaker 2: by it. We have a long history of letting dirt
Speaker 2: bags live of and relative peace as long as we
Speaker 2: can remove them from power, which you know irritates some
Speaker 2: people sometimes, but screw this guy. They're just sitting there
Speaker 2: holding hostages, murdering people, making rape tapes, and and you
Speaker 2: know he's the dude writing the playbook. No, you don't
Speaker 2: agree to that said there were due personal stuff. Uh,
Speaker 2: the new position comes, all right, Sinwar rose top blah
Speaker 2: blah blah. The new position comes after months of Sinhwar
Speaker 2: intervening with the ceasefire and hostage exchange talks. So he's
Speaker 2: literally been holding them up at the time, saying that no,
Speaker 2: no negotiations will happen. We will continue fighting until Israel
Speaker 2: is destroyed. Fine, give him what he wants, give them
Speaker 2: what he wants. But look, we tried to talk to
Speaker 2: the talk to the top dude, and this is what
Speaker 2: he said. Well, but he's saying this now, Well, that's
Speaker 2: because he's a coward. And it's funny how how that
Speaker 2: stuff works. Man, This guy was like, we'll die. Well
Speaker 2: what did he say? There's actually a quote here he
Speaker 2: said it would be an honor to die fighting Israel.
Speaker 1: Well, what happened to that?
Speaker 2: This is what you wanted? Many in June messages obtained
Speaker 2: by The Wall Street Journal revealed his calculations, choking up
Speaker 2: tens of thousands killed in Gaza is quote necessary sacrifices.
Speaker 2: That's what he's saying about his own quote unquote people.
Speaker 2: He says, by doing this, we have the Israelis right
Speaker 2: where we want them. That dude needs to go in
Speaker 2: a wood chipper. It doesn't have to be a wood chipper.
Speaker 2: I just that would make warm the cockles of my heart.
Speaker 2: There are some people who are so evil they shouldn't
Speaker 2: exist anymore. And I know that that's not a popular thought,
Speaker 2: but it's true. There are some people that are so
Speaker 2: evil and are willing so flippantly to murder so many people.
Speaker 2: They don't have business. Breathing is the thing we used
Speaker 2: to know, and apparently it is not now. There's a
Speaker 2: reason that there's a reason we did Nuremberg. Okay, and
Speaker 2: admittedly we didn't sack. We didn't sentence everyone to death,
Speaker 2: but everyone we did died. Sometimes they you know, the
Speaker 2: suicide of themselves. That's fine, whatever, I just need you gone.
Speaker 2: And it gets sticky when you get into the people
Speaker 2: who are almost on that cusp, because then everyone, you know,
Speaker 2: people use that to nation build. But every now and
Speaker 2: then some folks come along where you're like, can we
Speaker 2: all agree except for maybe one that that person needs
Speaker 2: to go in a wood chipper. And I think this
Speaker 2: dude rises to that level when you read this Wall
Speaker 2: Street Journal report. He is positively giddy over ten thousand
Speaker 2: of his countrymen dying because.
Speaker 1: It screws is real.
Speaker 2: More so give him what he wants. Doesn't have to
Speaker 2: be the wood chipper. Maybe gets something that's more thematic
Speaker 2: for the area. I don't know what that would be,
Speaker 2: but you know, make it happen, and don't agree to
Speaker 2: anything with this dude. Now, Ray Stagic. You can agree
Speaker 2: to stuff with Ray. He's not a cold bloody, calculated murderer.
Speaker 2: He's just a guy who's at all living the dream
Speaker 2: right now.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you know.
Speaker 8: There's times where people may want to take that type
Speaker 8: of action. And I've been threatening before.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't put you in a wood chipper, sir.
Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, but I don't think with this forecast.
Speaker 1: Yeah no, no, you're gonna you're gonna be good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Another dude's ahead of hamas you're fine. Oh okay.
Speaker 8: So trying to draw the distinction there and see where
Speaker 8: I fit in. I'm well, I'm glad I fit on
Speaker 8: the good side there. So yeah, I mean, temperatures are
Speaker 8: starting to rebound a little bit the next few afternoons.
Speaker 8: Next week, maybe back into the nineties, a little more humidities.
Speaker 8: It's big ridge starts to work back toward the east
Speaker 8: yesterday in Texas, really where all the heat has been
Speaker 8: Abilene one thirteen, all time record high for them, a
Speaker 8: record in San Antonio one. Await, So it's not gonna
Speaker 8: get that hot, so maybe that'll make us feel better.
Speaker 8: But low eighties next couple of days into the weekend,
Speaker 8: middle and upper eighties should see a lot of sunshine,
Speaker 8: maybe some clouds at times, especially during the morning hours.
Speaker 8: I'm like, we're seeing this morning and maybe some patche fog.
Speaker 8: But then early next week upper eighties to low nineties
Speaker 8: across the area, probably Monday through Wednesday. I don't see
Speaker 8: a chance of rain in here to maybe later next week.
Speaker 8: So yeah, looking pretty good. Get a little warmer, a
Speaker 8: little more humidity around next week, but not bad. Great
Speaker 8: for outdoor stuff and good for the beaches.
Speaker 1: A pool.
Speaker 8: The water hasn't cooled off just a bit. I know,
Speaker 8: my wol water temperatures dropped probably five to seven agrees
Speaker 8: with some of these loaws getting in the upper fifties.
Speaker 8: And I know, so now it's only like eighty two
Speaker 8: or eighty three instead of eighty eight. But yeah, I
Speaker 8: made tough life.
Speaker 1: Yeah, totally goes fun me for you?
Speaker 4: Or yeah I do.
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 8: Do I need a heater? I need a heater? Starts?
Speaker 1: Is your pool temperature? Okay?
Speaker 2: My poor raise has dropped five degrees for his private
Speaker 2: pool at his house.
Speaker 1: I would hate if you were having anyone had to
Speaker 1: deal with that. Man. It's just well, you.
Speaker 2: Go ahead and take the rest of the hour. Awful
Speaker 2: tech text next hour. Okay, all right, there we go.
Speaker 2: All right, there we go, raced agic having pool issues
Speaker 2: here on the case O Day radio program. Hang on,
Speaker 2: I realized it's not a new thing. It's an old
Speaker 2: thing that they're trying to do again. I want to
Speaker 2: I want to play some audio for you first from
Speaker 2: Judy Woodruf from PBS, and she's going to as part
Speaker 2: of a conversation she's having with I think she's actually
Speaker 2: on with the MSNBC report, it doesn't matter. So she's
Speaker 2: sitting there at one of the you know, the the
Speaker 2: desks there at the d n C, and she starts
Speaker 2: talking about something very specific and makes a pretty stark accusation. Now,
Speaker 2: it's important to understand that this is an accusation that
Speaker 2: has nothing behind It has been literally denied by everybody involved.
Speaker 2: And would Riff pretend, she says, she didn't know that,
Speaker 2: But you have a responsibility if you're going to bring
Speaker 2: this up, because it's a hell of an accusation to
Speaker 2: have done a little bit of due diligence. So here's
Speaker 2: what would Riff said off the cuff. She says, that
Speaker 2: sounds very familiar. See, if you can figure out what
Speaker 2: it is, go ahead.
Speaker 9: It is over there right now working with net and Yahoo.
Speaker 9: The reporting is that former President Trump is on the
Speaker 9: phone with the Prime Minister of Israel urging him not
Speaker 9: to cut a deal right now, because that is it's
Speaker 9: believed that would help Sahara's campaign. So I don't know
Speaker 9: where that. I don't know who knows whether that will
Speaker 9: come about or not. But I have to think that
Speaker 9: the Harris campaign would like for President Biden to do
Speaker 9: what President to do, which work on that one.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a hell of an accusation. I just want
Speaker 2: to I want to just point out what she's saying.
Speaker 2: She's saying that with everything going on, with the continued
Speaker 2: bloodshed in Israel, that Donald Trump, out of personal whatever aspirations,
Speaker 2: literally is making phone calls telling Israel not to sign
Speaker 2: a do a deal which would inevitably, inevitably mean more
Speaker 2: people killed. Not that the deal will probably stop it,
Speaker 2: but you get it. And because he's not in office yet,
Speaker 2: that's a that's a big boy accusation. And immediately I
Speaker 2: realize they're trying to Reagan him. If you remember, that
Speaker 2: was the accusation with Reagan over the Iranian hostages Jimmy,
Speaker 2: we want to make Jimmy Carter look bad, So whatever
Speaker 2: you do, don't release the hotes.
Speaker 1: Yet that was that.
Speaker 2: Was this thing that continues to live to this day
Speaker 2: as something that people believe that Reagan did with no evidence.
Speaker 2: And it's like, you can't come up with something New
Speaker 2: So that's what they're accusing Trump of. Now, Woodriff, as
Speaker 2: you can imagine, people were like, now, wait a second,
Speaker 2: Wait a second, why would you go ahead and say that.
Speaker 2: So Woodriff had to literally post she had to do
Speaker 2: her retraction because she had said that in I'm sorry
Speaker 2: sitting there whistling on the mic. She had done that
Speaker 2: in her capacity as a quote unquote journalist at PBS,
Speaker 2: you know, a journalist that you pay for, and just
Speaker 2: said it.
Speaker 1: And the thing is like, in my mind, I immediately went.
Speaker 2: That's a really really big thing that she's accusing. I
Speaker 2: had not seen anything, so I started to look for it. Well,
Speaker 2: turns out quote I want, this is what she says.
Speaker 2: I want to clarify my remarks made on the News
Speaker 2: special Monday night about the ongoing ceasefire talks in the
Speaker 2: Middle East. As I said this, what I said basically
Speaker 2: was not based on my original reporting. I was referring
Speaker 2: to reports I had read in Axios and Reuters. In
Speaker 2: that live TV moment, I repeated a story that I
Speaker 2: hadn't seen that later showed both denied it because by
Speaker 2: the time she got to it Axios and Reuters and
Speaker 2: I think there was one other had already retracted the
Speaker 2: story because they themselves were essentially making that up with
Speaker 2: no evidence. And then she goes and parrots it in
Speaker 2: the middle of primetime broadcast at the DNC, just like
Speaker 2: it's nothing. So again, you squander the trust. You know,
Speaker 2: PBS is long gone, but you squandered the trust each
Speaker 2: and every day. The airs always seemed to go in
Speaker 2: the same way. This is where we find ourselves. And
Speaker 2: now she's just super sorry that she didn't check that.
Speaker 2: And don't get me wrong, I throw stuff up from
Speaker 2: like I think I read this, but I also say
Speaker 2: I think I read this, let me check.
Speaker 1: So that's what we go and do, because I do.
Speaker 2: I do strive for accuracy when I'm not just being
Speaker 2: you know, on serious stuff. The other you know, some
Speaker 2: stuff are just having fun with. But that's a serious thing.
Speaker 2: Because you can take from this moment right now to
Speaker 2: whenever he ceasefire is achieved, count up the bodies on
Speaker 2: both sides, and you can lay that at the feet
Speaker 2: of Trump if you honestly believe that, Well, he didn't
Speaker 2: want this, so they had to keep going. And now
Speaker 2: seven hundred more people are dead, which I'm sure Judy
Speaker 2: Woodworff would love to report because she's an absolute moonbad
Speaker 2: just like the rest of them. The difference is you're
Speaker 2: paying her salary. Dude's probably cheesed over the cancelation of
Speaker 2: the Acolyte. It's Stephen Ken, how you doing, sir? What's
Speaker 2: going on?
Speaker 4: I'm doing well? So cheese casey, me and like five
Speaker 4: other people.
Speaker 2: Well, I wouldn't say that, man, It is uh, how
Speaker 2: do I say this? It is quite the list of
Speaker 2: accusations that I saw being thrown around over the cancelation. So,
Speaker 2: you know, not the not the you know where people
Speaker 2: I analyze and go, you know, it didn't connect with
Speaker 2: me or I didn't like it. And I understand everybody's
Speaker 2: all geared up on this, but basically, if you didn't
Speaker 2: like it, you're a super bigot and the patriarchy and
Speaker 2: all this. And I would ask myself this, when that happens,
Speaker 2: and and admittedly it's happened more often than it used to,
Speaker 2: do you think that that's the best strategy for all
Speaker 2: involved to go?
Speaker 6: Right?
Speaker 4: It's never it has never been. Yeah, no, it's never
Speaker 4: been a workable strategy to guilt people into watching shows.
Speaker 4: But you know, the demise of the Acolyte is fascinating
Speaker 4: to me. So it it did actually start right out
Speaker 4: of the gate according to Nielsen's top ten ratings above
Speaker 4: the Book of Boba Fet It had a better start
Speaker 4: than that show in terms of raw viewership, and it
Speaker 4: also had moments where it was peaking above and Or.
Speaker 4: But that show just bottomed out. And it's not because
Speaker 4: of any of the identity politics and The Acolyte. It's
Speaker 4: because it was a really garbage written show. It had
Speaker 4: no pacing, no flow. They had this sort of mystery
Speaker 4: plot that they wanted to unravel over the entire season
Speaker 4: and it was agonizing to get through. It was just
Speaker 4: poorly done and people didn't want to watch it, and
Speaker 4: therefore it is not coming back for a second season.
Speaker 2: Sorry, okay, but as we've seen, so that goes away
Speaker 2: and then you know, they've got twenty bullets in the
Speaker 2: chamber when it comes to these.
Speaker 1: Star Wars projects.
Speaker 2: So do you look at elements like that if you
Speaker 2: like they do they have the ability to take an
Speaker 2: honest look at it and go you know, because you're right.
Speaker 2: The writing thing is one I probably heard that is
Speaker 2: the biggest objection. Who wrote this?
Speaker 1: Those are from people who were seemingly enjoying the show.
Speaker 2: So is there enough maturities to not sit there and go, oh,
Speaker 2: the reason they didn't like it is because they're racist
Speaker 2: or sexist or whatever it is, to maybe go all right, look,
Speaker 2: we can't do this the same way. Here's an upcoming project.
Speaker 2: Let's make sure that our writing teams buttoned down. Do
Speaker 2: they have the emotional maturity to do that, because I
Speaker 2: don't feel like they do some of them.
Speaker 12: Now.
Speaker 4: I think we're very much in a cycle of entertainment
Speaker 4: where the writers, the people making these shows are way
Speaker 4: too concerned about the opinions of their loudest critics on
Speaker 4: YouTube who have incredible microphones. I mean, there are star
Speaker 4: Wars and entertainment YouTubers who have bigger audiences than these
Speaker 4: shows themselves, and they care, I think a bit too
Speaker 4: much about what they think about certain things. You know.
Speaker 4: I'm reminded of just one tweet from an entertainment reporter
Speaker 4: named Brian Young, who kind of covers all of this stuff,
Speaker 4: and he said, upon the Acolytes' cancelation, not good. The
Speaker 4: worst people in the world will take this as a
Speaker 4: victory lap. And so I was going, okay, So is
Speaker 4: it not good that the Acolyte didn't get renewed, or
Speaker 4: is it not good because it's a victory for people
Speaker 4: you don't like?
Speaker 3: Well, that's own people.
Speaker 4: Yeah, well, renew shows to own people.
Speaker 2: Here's here's where I think the disconnect is for for
Speaker 2: some of the entertainment reporters and for some of the
Speaker 2: folks within the show. They would sit there and tell
Speaker 2: you there is nobody more loathsome than nerd rotic or
Speaker 2: it's a Gundam or critical Drinker, right right, They would
Speaker 2: sit there and tell you there's nothing more loast than that. However,
Speaker 2: when I started adding the numbers up from those three
Speaker 2: and a few others, that is your audience, right, And
Speaker 2: so if the audience is responding pot to critical Drinker
Speaker 2: bashing on the acolide and you could you have to
Speaker 2: assume I think you would assume that core Star Wars
Speaker 2: fans that are going to be counted, there's going to
Speaker 2: be a lot of them counted amongst critical Drinker fans.
Speaker 2: That why wouldn't you listen even if you don't like
Speaker 2: the way it was suggested to you because it came
Speaker 2: across as snarky, Why wouldn't you at least put that
Speaker 2: in your hat and go, you know, how many people
Speaker 2: complain about this show? And then I have to evaluate
Speaker 2: whether I give a crap it's something you do right,
Speaker 2: And if I feel that it's the people complaining our
Speaker 2: core audience members, then I take it a lot more
Speaker 2: seriously than somebody who's just a political drive by person
Speaker 2: who wants to get a little snark in. And they
Speaker 2: don't seem to be able to do that.
Speaker 4: Uh yeah, no they don't. And I think this is
Speaker 4: just one of the things that you can add atop
Speaker 4: the pire of casualties. Ever since the George Floyd Summer
Speaker 4: of twenty twenty, you know, the Mandalorian came out, and
Speaker 4: twenty and nineteen about a year before the reckoning that
Speaker 4: we had in our culture where we just had to
Speaker 4: stop serving up majority's content that they enjoyed. And you know,
Speaker 4: I make that comment about Floyd in twenty twenty because
Speaker 4: this was sort of when the entertainment industry rejiggered in
Speaker 4: a direction of saying, you know, screw legacy fans, screw
Speaker 4: majority white audiences, screw male audiences as well, we have
Speaker 4: to do all these things for minority group XYZ. Even
Speaker 4: if it is commercially unpopular. Even if it is something
Speaker 4: that will bomb, we will do it because we want
Speaker 4: despite those people. And that's what's changed in the culture.
Speaker 4: It's what's changed in the way the Olympics it's run.
Speaker 4: It's the way that changes Star Wars shows. There's not
Speaker 4: been much good since that time. The Mandalorian is still
Speaker 4: the only thing holding on to Star Wars star Wars reputation.
Speaker 2: Is there anything I guess I really hadn't looked at
Speaker 2: they have anything coming down the pipe that we're supposed
Speaker 2: to be excited about.
Speaker 4: So they've got a new show called The Skeleton Crew
Speaker 4: coming out starring Jude Law. This takes place after the
Speaker 4: fall of the Jedi Order and it is Goonies in space.
Speaker 4: They basically are taking a couple of like twelve year
Speaker 4: old kids and they stumble upon a broken down starship,
Speaker 4: climb inside, and then it comes to life and takes
Speaker 4: them off into space on an adventure. It looks like,
Speaker 4: it looks like a lot of fun, and they are
Speaker 4: really ripping off a lot of beats of the Goonies
Speaker 4: for this show to have it just be a I
Speaker 4: don't know, like nineteen nineties VHS cassette type kids adventure.
Speaker 4: It feels like The Sandlot as well. And they should
Speaker 4: have done this years ago. They should have done it
Speaker 4: a long time ago.
Speaker 2: Apple's doing that right now, and I got to admit
Speaker 2: I'm not inclined generally to dip into things until all
Speaker 2: the episodes are there. But I did watch the first
Speaker 2: episode of Time Bandits, which is Apple TV is doing.
Speaker 2: It's uh, what's it's got the the Wakiki what is
Speaker 2: the director's name? Who did the thor movie that was
Speaker 2: from New Zealand Wahiti. Yeah, no, it's not that rossall say,
Speaker 2: it's something to my head?
Speaker 1: What what did you just say?
Speaker 2: Oh Tahiti WAHITII or whatever that dude. So anyway, so
Speaker 2: he's in it right, and it is. It's pure goofball
Speaker 2: and some of the time and the time manded. Super
Speaker 2: fans are not happy, and and they didn't promise it
Speaker 2: was going to be a remake.
Speaker 1: It's obviously it's a series. It's its own thing.
Speaker 2: I would say it's appropriate for kids. I didn't see
Speaker 2: a lot of politics in there for people care about
Speaker 2: that stuff. It's it's probably not my speed, but I
Speaker 2: found it entertaining because it's kind of mindless.
Speaker 4: But from the eighties, right, yes, yeah.
Speaker 2: So like it looks like they they spent a bunch
Speaker 2: of money to do it. Uh, it's really well done.
Speaker 2: The characters is funny. Some of it's pretty funny, and
Speaker 2: it's just like, okay, so they can do that, yay, Right,
Speaker 2: And I haven't seen all the rest of the episodes,
Speaker 2: but it's like it is an achievable thing, even in
Speaker 2: a post George Floyd era. But I hear what you're saying, So,
Speaker 2: you know, let that guy do his thing. I guess
Speaker 2: if he's going to get it right.
Speaker 4: So well, it just it reminds me of the context
Speaker 4: in which Star Wars came about in nineteen seventy seven.
Speaker 4: This was at the tail end of a decade of
Speaker 4: despair anti hero stories, you know, Dirty Harry and Taxi
Speaker 4: Driver and all that kind of stuff, and George Lucas
Speaker 4: talked a lot about how he really felt the country
Speaker 4: was in a malaise, kind of echoing what Jimmy Carter
Speaker 4: said about America being in a period of malaise around
Speaker 4: that time, and he wanted to lift stuff out of that,
Speaker 4: and that's what Star Wars was. It was fun it
Speaker 4: was campy, it was hopeful, it was going back to
Speaker 4: you know, just Arthurian legend. And at some point this
Speaker 4: bleak period that we are in the cynicism and everything
Speaker 4: being turned inside out from you know, stories we love
Speaker 4: like Star Wars to I don't know what's the latest
Speaker 4: thing they destroyed Batman?
Speaker 1: Oh right, hold on, we want to get to.
Speaker 4: That at some point. At some point this will end
Speaker 4: and we will return to a hopeful Goofy era. But
Speaker 4: I don't know when that's going to.
Speaker 2: Be, okay, of speaking of Batman, although you kind of
Speaker 2: did Ross send me this headline or maybe.
Speaker 1: You send it to him?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I do, all right.
Speaker 2: So for those of you because we mentioned this on
Speaker 2: the show, yes, so let me just mention this again.
Speaker 1: This is the insufferability. This is this again.
Speaker 2: This is people who are in the you know, or
Speaker 2: in the meat grinder, right, whether it's from a from
Speaker 2: a journalistic standpoint or from a production standpoint, right, And
Speaker 2: and some of them are so insufferable. And in fact,
Speaker 2: I just see that it got community noted, which is amazing.
Speaker 2: All right, So this is the tweet from pc gamer.
Speaker 2: Watch a latex clad billionaire punch out poor people, in
Speaker 2: the debut gameplay trailer for Batman Arkham Shadow.
Speaker 1: And I would say this before you respond to that.
Speaker 2: It's my understanding, though it's not necessarily something that I
Speaker 2: spent a lot of time playing that the Batman Arkham
Speaker 2: stuff was very popular. So you're crapping on a popular
Speaker 2: thing here, because I just roll my eyes and go,
Speaker 2: you know what, I just I don't even I don't
Speaker 2: even care anymore.
Speaker 1: I don't want to explore this.
Speaker 2: And I understand that's PC Gamer and not the the
Speaker 2: you know.
Speaker 1: The studio.
Speaker 2: But PC Gamer relies on people to still be interested
Speaker 2: in this stuff, and they're doing their damnedest to kill
Speaker 2: that interest with crap like this.
Speaker 4: Yeah. I mean people are being paid like this journalist
Speaker 4: Andy Chalk who wrote that piece. I presume this person
Speaker 4: is still employed there. You know, they are not held
Speaker 4: to a standard of actually promoting the interests of their audience.
Speaker 4: You're supposed to subvert the audience, insalt the audience, and
Speaker 4: do anything that you can to make them look bigoted
Speaker 4: or classiest or whatever.
Speaker 1: In any way.
Speaker 4: And there aren't consequences for that ever since the year
Speaker 4: twenty twenty oh. You know, so if you if you
Speaker 4: write a PC gamer, you can basically just get away
Speaker 4: with dunking and hating on your own audience and the
Speaker 4: stories they love. Like Batman. This has long been a
Speaker 4: part of you know, kind of goofy comic con criticisms
Speaker 4: of Batman that he's some pist of class.
Speaker 1: Warrior, a millionaire. I love that.
Speaker 2: I love that when it was the goofy thing where
Speaker 2: people were going, like because they did a Batman series
Speaker 2: where it was predicated on he lost all his money, right,
Speaker 2: it was one of the Batman spinoffs and comics, and
Speaker 2: then people were had they were having a fun discussion
Speaker 2: about this, right, derevn No. Then people had to turn
Speaker 2: it into you know, he's the one percent, right, because
Speaker 2: that predated the George Floyd stuff.
Speaker 1: So they were.
Speaker 2: Taking something where you could have what sound like aggressive
Speaker 2: conversation at a distance amongst you know, officionados of various
Speaker 2: sci fi and actually you know, comic stuff. And then
Speaker 2: but then they turned it into you know where, you know,
Speaker 2: where it really broke. Did you ever see the review
Speaker 2: for the PS five that they did, I don't know
Speaker 2: if that was PC gamer.
Speaker 1: Ross sent me this review.
Speaker 2: So this is the PS five's coming out, you would
Speaker 2: argue that's a pretty big deal if you're in the
Speaker 2: video game journalism sector.
Speaker 1: Right the new PlayStation.
Speaker 2: So this guy wrote a whole thing talking about how
Speaker 2: he can't actually review it because what privilege or ross?
Speaker 1: What am I forgetting? What was it? What was the
Speaker 1: crux of it?
Speaker 2: He couldn't do it because he's so sad because we
Speaker 2: all suck so much or something.
Speaker 1: I can't oh the child labor in China and all this.
Speaker 2: And it literally is supposed to be and he's like,
Speaker 2: I can't, I can't review it. I can't do and
Speaker 2: people clicked it because it says review of the PS five,
Speaker 2: So I get away with that.
Speaker 1: You know, where does it end?
Speaker 4: It ends with us not having anything that we enjoy. Ever,
Speaker 4: you know, the Batman thing will will always be funny,
Speaker 4: but it does speak to sort of this thing that
Speaker 4: has been in politics for the past couple of years.
Speaker 4: You know, like he's punching poor people. Okay, we're the
Speaker 4: poor people waving knives at innocent bystanders where they holding
Speaker 4: women and children hostage at gunpoint on a subway, because
Speaker 4: that's who Batman punches. Go around knocking out the homeless.
Speaker 1: You know, you want to hear.
Speaker 2: The community note that's attached to that tweet now says
Speaker 2: Batman does not randomly punch poor people, as the tweet suggest.
Speaker 2: He specifically attacks criminals, some of which are poor. Yes,
Speaker 2: that's logic, that's the logical.
Speaker 4: So according to social justice Warriors, criminals are are the poor,
Speaker 4: and poor are the criminals. Uh, forgive me for saying that.
Speaker 4: I think poor people and people who are struggling financial well,
Speaker 4: it can actually be great people and heroes and good.
Speaker 1: They're poors.
Speaker 2: That's why we call them the poors in this show, right, No,
Speaker 2: it's the people are absolute lunatics and and somehow being
Speaker 2: poor as a badge of honor.
Speaker 1: Here, here's the deal.
Speaker 2: Sometimes people who don't have money are great people, and
Speaker 2: sometimes they're really not. They're really and by the way,
Speaker 2: some of them had money and they're poor because they're
Speaker 2: such horrible people, just like rich people. Sometimes there's no
Speaker 2: reason for a dude to be rich because he's such
Speaker 2: a piece of garbage.
Speaker 1: But it just is the way that it is.
Speaker 2: And one day, yeah, I hope it's so. I want
Speaker 2: to I want to be unnecessarily wealthy, So strive, strive

Speaker 2: All right, speaking of debates, you know this Burger King
Speaker 2: story I gotta tell you about next.
Speaker 1: Is a doozy hang on for that, all right.
Speaker 2: Anybody want to guess who just signed with one of
Speaker 2: the big talent agencies, Big, big, big talent agency represents
Speaker 2: a lot of I'm just looking at the list here
Speaker 2: other some actors, actresses, a lot of social media folks,
Speaker 2: a lot of big ones too, Born Bred Talent. All right, Ross,
Speaker 2: you haven't seen this story? Who do you think just
Speaker 2: signed with a major talent agency and is now said
Speaker 2: to be in production of some TV show stuff? Regun yeah, Rega,
Speaker 2: Oh you did see it?
Speaker 1: Okay? No I didn't.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah. Australian Olympic breakdance phenom.
Speaker 1: That's their words. Dot bye.
Speaker 2: Reagan has now signed with the Born Bred Talent agency. Currently,
Speaker 2: the agency says that they are linked. They are linked
Speaker 2: already to getting her on the next season of I'm
Speaker 2: a Celebrity getting Me out of Here, which I think
Speaker 2: that's a British one. I think that's a bit but
Speaker 2: it's a big one in the UK reality show and
Speaker 2: that they quote have other ideas to platform her. I
Speaker 2: like what, I say, what do you do with her
Speaker 2: when her five minutes are up? And how do you
Speaker 2: also make the argument that she couldn't see this coming.
Speaker 1: I mean she's sitting there.
Speaker 2: I'm assuming she's sitting there practicing her kangaroo going. They
Speaker 2: just signed hok to a girl to something.
Speaker 1: Oh I got this sure enough.
Speaker 2: They also, in addition to that, want to put her
Speaker 2: on h what is this? They got some other Mass Singer.
Speaker 2: Can she sing? Does she sing like she dance? Is
Speaker 2: there a dance there's a dance version of Mass Singer?
Speaker 1: Isn't there? I don't know.
Speaker 2: I don't watch any of them. The whole thing just
Speaker 2: seems so creepy to me. The first time I saw it,
Speaker 2: like like, we it's a show, but they're all furries
Speaker 2: but they're people, you know. And then like Giuliani was
Speaker 2: in one and I'm like, I'm not even watching them.
Speaker 2: And then I think they do another one where they
Speaker 2: digitize them right where there are singers, but they're like
Speaker 2: some sort of like digital cartoon looking character. And then
Speaker 2: they're backstage and I guess it's you know, they're wearing
Speaker 2: I don't even know if they're wearing the suits. I
Speaker 2: don't know how they do it, but that one seemed
Speaker 2: kind of creepy to me as well. So all right, yeah,
Speaker 2: let's go ahead and get Raygun all signed up for stuff.
Speaker 1: Why the hell not? So check this out.
Speaker 2: I thought people's reaction to this was pretty interesting. There's
Speaker 2: a guy by the name of Kevin Ford. Kevin Ford
Speaker 2: works at or worked at Burger King. I guess he
Speaker 2: worked at the one at the airport and in Vegas
Speaker 2: there's some m Karen and he's just doing his thing,
Speaker 2: goes in, does his grind. He he cooks for them
Speaker 2: and he has spent twenty seven years working for him,
Speaker 2: never missed a day, which in the world of fast food,
Speaker 2: I want you to think about that, right, that's that's
Speaker 2: one of the constant complaints that you'll hear, especially with
Speaker 2: entry level jobs, is staffing issues.
Speaker 1: And we've obviously we've seen it, you know through COVID.
Speaker 2: So this guy grinds for twenty seven years working at
Speaker 2: the same burger king, working on the grill. He'd advanced,
Speaker 2: but not you know, it wasn't a manager or anything.
Speaker 2: And he was to the extent that he could. He
Speaker 2: was content to do that. In the re was is,
Speaker 2: he said that he had an obligation to his family.
Speaker 2: He's got I think he's got two daughters. No, he's
Speaker 2: got four daughters, four daughters. And he said every day,
Speaker 2: you know, every day I thought, oh, man, I just this.
Speaker 2: He just said, I got four little girls. Man, I'm
Speaker 2: gonna go through it. I'm gonna be the best dad.
Speaker 2: And eventually put him through high school and college. Well,
Speaker 2: it came to the attention the story of some local media,
Speaker 2: and it seemingly came to the attention because one of
Speaker 2: the uh, one of the people that are part of
Speaker 2: the ownership group said something because they I think they
Speaker 2: realized it's a nice story. But they also realized that's
Speaker 2: that's some nice pr and so they, you know, they
Speaker 2: did a story about this dude, and to uh, I
Speaker 2: guess to put the kapper on it, the Burger King
Speaker 2: franchise decided that they were going to do something nice
Speaker 2: and you know, reward him for his twenty seven years
Speaker 2: of uninterrupted service.
Speaker 1: So what happened? So the.
Speaker 2: Burger King management decided to give him a gift and
Speaker 2: here we go, twenty seven years. He was handed a
Speaker 2: backpack with a movie ticket, a Starbucks cup in a
Speaker 2: mix of candy and chocolate as they thank you for
Speaker 2: his three decades of service. Now I saw people who
Speaker 2: were going, well, you know what they paid him, didn't he?
Speaker 2: And that was part of the agreement. And I agree
Speaker 2: with you, right, if you make an agreement that stuff
Speaker 2: is nice. Christmas bonuses are nice, even a Jelly of
Speaker 2: the month club or whatever. But you know, ultimately, if
Speaker 2: it's just straight up you agree to do a job,
Speaker 2: they agree to pay you for it. That is, that
Speaker 2: is the simplest part of the arrangement. But here's why
Speaker 2: folks who were saying that people getting mad about this
Speaker 2: need to shut up. This is not as simple as that,
Speaker 2: because it's clear that the Burger King wanted to use
Speaker 2: him to build their business. Right, they did this and
Speaker 2: I seemingly the dumbest way possible.
Speaker 1: They wanted it. They wanted it.
Speaker 2: Out there that hey, there's this look at this guy.
Speaker 2: Look at our employees, twenty seven years doing great. We
Speaker 2: must be a great company to work for. And by
Speaker 2: the way, we're gonna do something. Here's something a little
Speaker 2: generous for him. And then the generous thing was not
Speaker 2: I don't know, buy them some tickets to a really
Speaker 2: nice show in Vegas, dinner out, you know, something something
Speaker 2: you could probably get for free because you do business
Speaker 2: in the market.
Speaker 1: But they didn't.
Speaker 2: They gave him stuff that you'd get tricker treating, minus
Speaker 2: the backpack. So I got no problem people beefing on
Speaker 2: the Burger King or this Burger King. It's a franchise,
Speaker 2: own one, so take it for what it's worth. But
Speaker 2: that dude was more than willing to take the press.
Speaker 1: I don't know if it's a dude. Really, it looks
Speaker 1: like it's a ownership group.
Speaker 2: But that group was willing to take the press that
Speaker 2: would make them look good, make their employe look good.
Speaker 1: Nothing wrong with that.
Speaker 2: But then you tripped over your own you know what, man,
Speaker 2: and you gave a guy a handful of candy, a
Speaker 2: ticket to the movies, and an empty Starbucks cup, which,
Speaker 2: by the way, I don't know. Do you think the
Speaker 2: dude got that at the Starbucks that morning, washed it
Speaker 2: out and put it in there?
Speaker 1: Right you.
Speaker 2: There's a reason that that was a plot point in
Speaker 2: National Lampoons people because it showed the absurdity of it.
Speaker 2: It showed the absurdity. Uh, he thinks he's going to
Speaker 2: get a pool with his bonus and then corporate America
Speaker 2: because it's it's relatable, it's identifiable, and there are a
Speaker 2: lot of people keep their head down and go all right, well,
Speaker 2: don't don't uh, don't make trouble for me. I will
Speaker 2: make trouble for you. We'll just we'll do this employee
Speaker 2: employer thing. And that's fine. That's are my heads that
Speaker 2: most days, right Ross and I just want to come
Speaker 2: in and do our thing man and manage and management
Speaker 2: for the most part is happy to let us do it.
Speaker 2: That's a good relationship. Do they need to buy me
Speaker 2: a condo in the mountains somewhere?
Speaker 1: That'd be nice.
Speaker 2: Hand to hint, but I don't expect him to. But also,
Speaker 2: I just hit my anniversary with with iHeart because I
Speaker 2: got my you know, you get the management. Hey, congratulations,
Speaker 2: So whatef our managers sent that? And I'm looking at
Speaker 2: it all those years and I'm just like, cool, Yeah,
Speaker 2: this has been fun.
Speaker 1: Man. I enjoy it. I enjoy doing this show.
Speaker 2: I enjoy running my mouth every day. That being said,
Speaker 2: if you got me a backpack with a handful of
Speaker 2: candy in there and a Starbucks cup, I.
Speaker 1: Feel a little insulted just saying all right.
Speaker 2: Eight forty three raced agent from the Weather Channel is standby.
Speaker 2: Dude does twenty seven years at Burger King and they
Speaker 2: give him the Jelly of the Month club. It's like,
Speaker 2: it's like, just don't just don't go say you're going
Speaker 2: to reward a guy in the newspaper and then give
Speaker 2: him a backpack with candy and a Starbucks cup. For
Speaker 2: twenty seven years, man guy was grinding at twenty seven years.
Speaker 1: Oh oh no, you know what.
Speaker 2: They probably probably gave him a backpack with a Starbucks
Speaker 2: cup and he's like, no, not going to do this.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll give him just a just a
Speaker 2: moment here. It's a good it's a good story. The
Speaker 2: guy's very good a humor. All right, let's get raised
Speaker 2: stagic in here. He has what's going on?
Speaker 11: You know?
Speaker 8: Doing all right? Just trying to scan through and look
Speaker 8: for things to talk about.
Speaker 1: I mean there's much we talk about other stuff. What else?
Speaker 8: Yeah, we could could Yeah, there's actually a I think
Speaker 8: it's uh hector, hector whatever it is, heading maybe toward
Speaker 8: Hawaii that could affect it is the powerhouse Delaware State
Speaker 8: against Hawaii.
Speaker 1: This stup Brazil? Did you look to see how the
Speaker 1: things gonna go for?
Speaker 11: Uh?
Speaker 2: For well, I know we're a little ways out, but
Speaker 2: isn't one of the first week games is in Brazil?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 8: And isn't there some controversy there about there's a green
Speaker 8: Bay and Philly and they both wear green and there's
Speaker 8: talking about green and what was that all about? Because
Speaker 8: I turned it off once they I was like, are
Speaker 8: you kidding?
Speaker 1: Do you remember that happened a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: It was like who is it?
Speaker 2: Jadson Philly And it was near impossible to tell who
Speaker 2: was who. Yeah, but now you're gonna go in the
Speaker 2: middle of the Amazon and you're all wearing green.
Speaker 8: I don't know. I mean, I understand you want to.
Speaker 1: I don't know.
Speaker 8: I'm not four. I just like even this, even this
Speaker 8: game Saturday, the a c C game Florida State and
Speaker 8: Georgia Tech in Ireland. I mean, I don't know. You
Speaker 8: you could easily because I don't think. I don't think
Speaker 8: the team's left until yesterday or today. And I'm kind
Speaker 8: of like that usually had flight problems. Yeah, the Mississippi
Speaker 8: or so, I can't remember who what. But the point is, yeah,
Speaker 8: you got, you got all these pieces. You got to
Speaker 8: get into the place here for week one on both sides,
Speaker 8: and it's like you better hope nothing screws up, man,
Speaker 8: you know, And yeah, I can easily you know, text
Speaker 8: get a lot of hype, but and I could easily
Speaker 8: see like Tech only the upset. Then somebody's saying, well,
Speaker 8: you know, it's tough to play, and you got and
Speaker 8: that could be a factor in that game. And I'd
Speaker 8: be like you know what, that's a legitimate excuse. Then
Speaker 8: they'd say, well both teams.
Speaker 1: Have well yeah, but no, no, no, I get you want,
Speaker 1: but keep it home.
Speaker 2: I want, I want the packers end zone. Okay, play
Speaker 2: it up, local man.
Speaker 8: Well who is the starter?
Speaker 1: Now?
Speaker 8: What do you mean for the Vikings? Who's gonna you know,
Speaker 8: who's gonna be don't.
Speaker 1: Even weather it out? That is a shame. All right, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I got about a minute.
Speaker 8: I wish we could talk, yeah, Warmed, I mean it's sunny, Yeah,
Speaker 8: it's tough, getting hotter. We'll go from upper seventies to
Speaker 8: low eighties and mid eighties over the weekend, maybe ninety
Speaker 8: degrees in some spots and no ray maybe till later
Speaker 8: next week. Tropics. We'll keep an eye on it. Things
Speaker 8: are quiet right now to the first week or so
Speaker 8: of September. Maybe little development there, so there's still time
Speaker 8: for the beaches. But it looks like a better weekend
Speaker 8: this weekend than last weekend.
Speaker 1: Oh right, all right, maybe next time.
Speaker 2: What a pity? All right, thank you sir, appreciate you.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next hang on.
Speaker 13: Wel good morning, casey. Stock market futures have been modestly
Speaker 13: higher all morning. The Dow futures are up thirty points
Speaker 13: at the moment. Got word from Washington this morning that
Speaker 13: there was an uptech last week and the number of
Speaker 13: new claims for unemployment benefits. The Labor Department reports two
Speaker 13: hundred thirty two thousand workers filed new applications last week,
Speaker 13: and that was four thousand more than the prior week
Speaker 13: two hundred thirty two thousand, still a historically low number.
Speaker 13: The number of continuing claims also rose by four thousand.
Speaker 13: That suggests it's taking a little bit longer for workers
Speaker 13: who lose a job to find their next one. The
Speaker 13: jobless claims report is one more data point for FED
Speaker 13: chair Jerome Powell to consider ahead of tomorrow's very important
Speaker 13: address in Jacksonville. A contract dispute with workers has brought
Speaker 13: both of Canada's major freight railroads to a full stop.
Speaker 13: If this shutdown should drag on, it's going to have
Speaker 13: an impact on the US. The Department of Transportation notes
Speaker 13: that billions of dollars worth of goods moved between the
Speaker 13: US and Canada via rail each month. Sources say Edgar
Speaker 13: Bronfman has sweetened his bid for control of Paramount Global
Speaker 13: to six billion dollars. That's one point seven billion dollars
Speaker 13: more than he offered.
Speaker 1: Just three days ago.
Speaker 13: Walmart's set to introduce a new perk for members of
Speaker 13: its Walmart Plus loyalty program. The ninety eight dollars a
Speaker 13: year program will soon include discounts on meals from Burger King.
Speaker 13: Walmart says Burger King is very popular among Walmart Plus members,
Speaker 13: and the CEO of Crayolas thinking outside the crayon box,
Speaker 13: Casey about ways to boost sales. The company has been
Speaker 13: granted a patent for the way It's crayon smell. CEO
Speaker 13: Pete Regiro and visions pumping that smell into stores, bringing
Speaker 13: back some childhood memories for shoppers who would hopefully buy
Speaker 13: more crayons and choose Crayola.
Speaker 1: Casey, what do.
Speaker 2: You mean like the standard rubber smell, or because I
Speaker 2: remember they had scented, they had like a senate version.
Speaker 13: I think just the general you get in a box
Speaker 13: of sixty four Crayola crayons, if you if you might
Speaker 13: remember how that that waxy smell that apparently that's that's
Speaker 13: unique to Crayola. They were able to convince the patent
Speaker 13: office of that.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, so I guess next is eating them
Speaker 2: for the for the kids to do. So all right, yes,
Speaker 2: I guess so, all right, thank you, appreciate it.
Speaker 1: Take care.
Speaker 2: Is that is that a childhood smell, the way that
Speaker 2: the fresh box of Crayola smells you crack that old?
Speaker 1: I guess I never did. I remember that now you
Speaker 1: know what it was.
Speaker 2: And when I was in school and the girls mostly
Speaker 2: had it, remember all the scented markers. Those were a
Speaker 2: thing and I and even then I always thought because
Speaker 2: simultaneously they'd have the scented.
Speaker 1: Markers but also tell you not to huff things. And
Speaker 1: I'm like.
Speaker 2: Kind of trading you to huff things because you know
Speaker 2: people would you know, huff other things, other marks that
Speaker 2: would actually, I guess do something. I never tried it.
Speaker 2: It never looks smart to me, but I don't know.
Speaker 2: But okay, all right, there we go. All right, A
Speaker 2: couple things here real quick we got I didn't get
Speaker 2: to all the audio. Yeah, I literally just got access
Speaker 2: back to my own next gen. So it's been one
Speaker 2: of those mornings. But anyway, a couple quick things here.
Speaker 2: The amount of I got to play this audio because
Speaker 2: so many. I think a lot of people think this
Speaker 2: is real and it's not real. It's funny, but it's
Speaker 2: not real. And this is the same dude Alex whatever
Speaker 2: his name is, that goes and does like the city
Speaker 2: council meetings right or is just ridiculous. During his two minutes,
Speaker 2: those go viral. So he, along with I don't know
Speaker 2: every other right wing pundit, is apparently in disguise at
Speaker 2: the DNC. He gets a microphone stuck in his face
Speaker 2: by the BBC, and I will say he is. He
Speaker 2: is mildly convincing from a lingo standpoint. After a couple
Speaker 2: of minutes of kind of even the BBC got it's like, yeah,
Speaker 2: I don't think this is real. But at first he
Speaker 2: and people listening around him are like, yeah, this guy's
Speaker 2: telling his truth. Man, So here here is what they
Speaker 2: what was being told to the BBC. And he's wearing
Speaker 2: like he's wearing the whole get up.
Speaker 1: So check this out.
Speaker 8: Well, what brought you out anywhere?
Speaker 12: No, listen, my name is no source at UTD pronouns
Speaker 12: like I'm just really excited how we have like the
Speaker 12: first black woman that could be the president of the
Speaker 12: United States and you're like my wife right wearing a
Speaker 12: polyamors relationship. The lover that my wife's hook is African American,
Speaker 12: and like, I've learned so much about.
Speaker 8: The struggle that people of color go through as a
Speaker 8: result of my.
Speaker 12: Wife's boyfriend, and so I'm excited to really do my
Speaker 12: partin phil telling Verity's about marginalized community.
Speaker 9: They're like, the best way to do that is to get.
Speaker 12: The first woman of color to be the commander of chief.
Speaker 8: And I'm really excited.
Speaker 2: And then like follow up question, like they get into it,
Speaker 2: and again the BBC guy, I think figures it out.
Speaker 2: But the funny thing is is that's a really popular meme.
Speaker 2: And I was really surprised it was because immediately I'm like, oh, yeah,
Speaker 2: that no, that dude's doing the meme. That dude's doing
Speaker 2: the meme. But if you're a BBC reporter, apparently the
Speaker 2: meme hasn't made it across the pond, so to speak yet.
Speaker 11: So
