Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: We were talking the other day about the those toll
Speaker 2: text you know, they're like, oh, you got to pay
Speaker 2: your toll and uh you you you've been paying tolls
Speaker 2: now for a month, man all over the place. I
Speaker 2: think I have the winner though. All right, you're ready
Speaker 2: for this easy past toll reminder. The phone number is
Speaker 2: a country colored plus six three and then whatever the
Speaker 2: number is. I apparently I forgot to pay tolls last
Speaker 2: week in the Philippines. So I don't want to flex
Speaker 2: because yours are what Florida, North Carolina.
Speaker 3: No, that's when you were, if I remember correctly, when
Speaker 3: you were visiting Ian Miles Chong, right.
Speaker 2: I think he's Malay. Yeah, you know who I was visiting,
Speaker 2: don't you. My orders are shook them dead. I thought
Speaker 2: he was just kidding.
Speaker 3: He's at the Hague.
Speaker 2: Hey, what should I do to people who send these
Speaker 2: fake toll things? My orders are shook them dead. I mean,
Speaker 2: he's not wrong in his you know, in the Philippine
Speaker 2: justice system there so well, except for the part where
Speaker 2: he killed thirty thousand people over drug offenses allegedly. But yeah,
Speaker 2: I'm gonna I'm gonna err on the side that I
Speaker 2: don't owe tolls to the Philippines toll system. So there's that.
Speaker 2: And then and while I'm looking at that, and I'm like, well,
Speaker 2: that's got to be a winner for furtherest toll away
Speaker 2: scam of anybody. I started getting these text messages yesterday.
Speaker 2: Now is the company doing? Do we have some new
Speaker 2: project we're working on up in New York? Are you
Speaker 2: aware of this? Ross? Are you on this at all?
Speaker 2: I'm assuming you would be. No, Yes, we got a
Speaker 2: apparently there's a big project up in New York, specifically
Speaker 2: the borough of Manhattan or something. So yeah, And apparently
Speaker 2: we're coordinating with a couple a couple of some Japanese
Speaker 2: cities on this too.
Speaker 3: Is it like a small project because I'm very busy,
Speaker 3: I don't, I don't can't take any more work, you
Speaker 3: know what.
Speaker 2: It seems like a really really really big project. And
Speaker 2: then we're doing collabse with some Jeopardy I'm assuming they're
Speaker 2: Japanese radio groups in let's see Hiroshima and Nagasaki. I'm
Speaker 2: not anyway, something about a fat man and a little boy.
Speaker 2: I don't know. The whole thing sounds suss, so probably
Speaker 2: need to figure out what that is. Was that too subtle.
Speaker 2: A joke was that I'm mean, I used all the words.
Speaker 2: So okay, all right, so let's talk about what yesterday
Speaker 2: was and what yesterday wasn't with the Atlantic, the Hooty Rebels,
Speaker 2: the Signal app, the Defense Secretary, the Vice pray, you
Speaker 2: name it, and one piece of garbage known as Jonathan Goldberg. Okay,
Speaker 2: let's talk cause I'm angry about this, but I'm angry
Speaker 2: not in the same way that the absolutely duplicitous media
Speaker 2: is angry. Where they're pretending I saw Wiley Nickel pretending
Speaker 2: that literally we is like, oh, we just accidentally transmitted
Speaker 2: plans for the A bomb to the you know, to
Speaker 2: the to the Germans or to the Japanese in nineteen
Speaker 2: forty three. Shut up, it's not. There's is as best
Speaker 2: that we can tell, based on everybody weighing in on
Speaker 2: this from all sides, there does not appear to be
Speaker 2: any classified or specific information that was part of that
Speaker 2: signal communication and the communication on the signal app, which
Speaker 2: we need to agree and I and I because I'm
Speaker 2: I'm also sick of the people running around going Anyone
Speaker 2: who has any problem with this is a soft con right,
Speaker 2: especially people who took that soda money. Can just shut
Speaker 2: their faces. Okay, I don't want to hear anything from
Speaker 2: any of you, and any of these grifters, these Kurt
Speaker 2: Schlickters and these people you know, slickter, Who's who's who's so,
Speaker 2: Who's so committed that he continues to live in California
Speaker 2: and fetus taxes to all the stuff that he hates
Speaker 2: the most. I don't want to hear it from any
Speaker 2: of you. Okay, here's the deal. It is problematic that
Speaker 2: any level of conversation having to do with a military
Speaker 2: operation is being done on an app like signal. Okay,
Speaker 2: even though it clearly appears that they understood that they
Speaker 2: could not get into things that were classified there because
Speaker 2: even piece of garbage Goldberg in their piece there references
Speaker 2: that there was a point where they wanted to talk
Speaker 2: about some details, but they wanted to do it on
Speaker 2: the quote high side, which is on the you know,
Speaker 2: the actual the network, the communications network channel that the
Speaker 2: US uses to be able to communicate classified information. So
Speaker 2: they observed that there were parts of that that needed
Speaker 2: to be on that quote unquote high side. And it
Speaker 2: does not appear it was part of the signal thing
Speaker 2: so immediately it's not what the Democrats are telling you
Speaker 2: it was. And really what it was what it seems
Speaker 2: to be is they had discussed what they were going
Speaker 2: to do with the hooties. Obviously we know what they
Speaker 2: did with them, right because you had that picture of
Speaker 2: Trump sitting there in his golf gear watch and everything
Speaker 2: get blown to smitherings. So like, we know what the
Speaker 2: plan was now, and so this was like a last
Speaker 2: minute check in kind of thing, right. This was everyone
Speaker 2: really on there, with the exception of this reporter had
Speaker 2: been part of discussions leading up to this. People had opinions.
Speaker 2: People are mad at the vice president because he had
Speaker 2: some uncomfortableness with it. I don't understand what the thing is.
Speaker 2: He's the vice president, he was asked for his opinion,
Speaker 2: He provided his opinion, the President made his decision. Like,
Speaker 2: is it a scandal that not everyone initially thinks the
Speaker 2: same thing. No, that's kind of what I want. I
Speaker 2: want different perspectives if people have it. I don't want
Speaker 2: yes men, but I also want people who recognize that
Speaker 2: once the discussion over, somebody's got to make that decision,
Speaker 2: and that person was the person elected by the people.
Speaker 2: This is what these judges don't understand, and so a
Speaker 2: scandal of epic proportions.
Speaker 4: This is not.
Speaker 2: Okay that being said, this was dumb. This is really dumb.
Speaker 2: How do you inadvertently add a reporter even to a
Speaker 2: signal thing? And and why is if people if you
Speaker 2: know the signal thing worked, why do you have an
Speaker 2: account that you will soft discuss things of nash, you know,
Speaker 2: with with with plans like this where that account even
Speaker 2: has in their chain Goldberd like, you shouldn't be talked.
Speaker 2: The White House should not talk to the Atlantic. They
Speaker 2: shouldn't talk to them. They should never they It's like
Speaker 2: I say, don't talk to w r A, Well, the Atlantic,
Speaker 2: they should not talk to them. There's no upside. This
Speaker 2: is not CNN or MSNBC, where they'd make the argument,
Speaker 2: well we can immediately get on you know, if there's
Speaker 2: something going on right now, and just to get the
Speaker 2: FaceTime on there, which I still think is a bad strategy,
Speaker 2: but at least I understand it. The Atlantic isn't isn't
Speaker 2: a breaking news thing, okay. Atlantic are the people who
Speaker 2: wrote the story saying that Donald Trump was going around
Speaker 2: in France, in Normandy there talking about suckers and losers,
Speaker 2: and then every literally everybody on the ground, everybody on
Speaker 2: the ground except for their quote unquote anonymous source said
Speaker 2: none of this happened. And then the timeline didn't even
Speaker 2: match up what they were claiming. And then and the
Speaker 2: very same dude who was added to the signal thing
Speaker 2: said well, i'll tell you what we're going to do.
Speaker 2: A follow up piece will prove to you this, and
Speaker 2: then they just didn't do it. And that whole suckers
Speaker 2: and losers thing was utilized every step of the way,
Speaker 2: every single day against Trump on all the networks, uh,
Speaker 2: all the political opponents. You know, Barack Obama was out there,
Speaker 2: Hillary Clinton was out there, Joe Biden was like the
Speaker 2: you know, the only thing he could remember to say
Speaker 2: during that debate all nonsense, and the Atlantic was this
Speaker 2: was the source of all of that. And so if
Speaker 2: you believe that he didn't say it, and frankly, it'd
Speaker 2: be hard not to if you're if you're being middle
Speaker 2: of the road about this thing, you would have to
Speaker 2: you would have to have people from multiple countries and
Speaker 2: your own lying eyes rejected in in their word over
Speaker 2: an anonymous source or within an Atlantic article that doesn't
Speaker 2: even match a timeline for when travel was taking place.
Speaker 2: Why would you talk to him? Ever, Goldberg and the
Speaker 2: rest of his people do not need to be in
Speaker 2: your rolodex. You do not need to return their phone calls.
Speaker 2: Do not provide them access. What are they going to
Speaker 2: do write a hit piece on you? There's no upside?
Speaker 2: So how did they get added? And should And this
Speaker 2: is the argument I see, Well, the Democrats they would
Speaker 2: never punish anyone for this, They would just move forward. Yeah,
Speaker 2: and everyone lost their minds. Now this doesn't Again, this
Speaker 2: doesn't appear to be, you know, a classified information, and
Speaker 2: even the Atlantic admitted that they don't believe it is.
Speaker 2: But they also think that there might have been more
Speaker 2: if they wouldn't have stopped listening that speculation. I don't
Speaker 2: even know if I believe that they stopped. So how
Speaker 2: does that happen? At the very least, you need to
Speaker 2: figure out a process so it never happens again. And yeah,
Speaker 2: they're gonna you know, people are gonna feast on it,
Speaker 2: and it's going to be blown up. I've already seen it,
Speaker 2: you know, with some of the leftist accounts. The worst
Speaker 2: national policy disaster and in in in uh. In a
Speaker 2: in a you know, fifty years I saw somebody saying,
Speaker 2: which is rich because Afghanistan happened not that long ago.
Speaker 2: Does that I guess maybe we consider that a policy thing.
Speaker 2: I do to the withdrawal of Afghanistan. I do, and
Speaker 2: a bunch of people got killed. So just save that rhetoric.
Speaker 2: But also all of these folks who want to go, well,
Speaker 2: the Democrats wouldn't do anything, So conservatives need to adopt that. Well,
Speaker 2: part of what I want from the Trump administration, what
Speaker 2: I expect from the Trump administration, and and and and
Speaker 2: uh and what I am hoping or what I was
Speaker 2: hoping to get and I am worried because we have
Speaker 2: not seen it yet is transparency. Now, don't get me wrong.
Speaker 2: I saw I can't remember the term that somebody used.
Speaker 2: They were talking about how transparent dog is. Yeah, that
Speaker 2: dose process is strikingly transparent. And that's what people on
Speaker 2: one side love and freak out on the other side.
Speaker 2: But there are other things that require and and it's
Speaker 2: not all on Trump, but he's in the position to
Speaker 2: restore some of this transparency in this trust things like
Speaker 2: the Epstein List, right, Pam Bondis has straight lied twice,
Speaker 2: and I see people go, well, you know, that document
Speaker 2: dump she got from New York is probably so overwhelming
Speaker 2: they got to get indictments ready. Okay, Well then she
Speaker 2: went on the TV after and went, yep, now it's
Speaker 2: really on my desk and oh boy, you're gonna be
Speaker 2: it's gonna be so crazy. We'll have it to you shortly.
Speaker 2: That's not restoring trust. This not restoring trust. And as
Speaker 2: people have pointed out to me, had had a had
Speaker 2: anything having to do with troop movements. And while it's
Speaker 2: not x's and o's on a map, there was discussion
Speaker 2: there of of you know, timing for movements and or
Speaker 2: for some of the you know, because they're talking about
Speaker 2: a couple of days, not down to the minute, but
Speaker 2: like it gives you some semblance. And it also there
Speaker 2: was discussion there talking about you know, uh, military readiness
Speaker 2: for certain aspects. You know. So basically the people had
Speaker 2: to carry out the bombing there, so it's light touch stuff.
Speaker 2: And if you know, if somebody was for far enough
Speaker 2: down the totem pole, they'd be facing a court martial.
Speaker 2: I don't know that that's up for debate. They would
Speaker 2: court martial somebody who doesn't have a high enough number
Speaker 2: after the letter E E six, you're cooked. So what
Speaker 2: do you do because you're now you're talking about the
Speaker 2: Defense Secretary, who I'm pretty sure is not putting the
Speaker 2: signal stuff together. Right, I don't know how there's not
Speaker 2: somebody in the food chain who's responsible for, you know,
Speaker 2: creating these these essentially teams meetings, if you will, Is
Speaker 2: it Mike Waltz, the former congressman who went over That's
Speaker 2: who a lot of people are looking at. And I
Speaker 2: don't know that they necessarily need to resign, but some
Speaker 2: needs to happen. Something needs to happen. It can't just
Speaker 2: be well, we're going to ignore it because the Democrats
Speaker 2: would that's not an acceptable answer, even if it's just
Speaker 2: you know, coming out and explaining how, you know, we're
Speaker 2: gonna make sure this doesn't happen again. It's that simple.
Speaker 2: Here's Trump on it. Mister President.
Speaker 5: Your reaction to the story of The Atlantic that said
Speaker 5: that some of your top cabinet officials and aids have
Speaker 5: been discussing very sense of material from Signal and included
Speaker 5: an Atlantic report for that.
Speaker 2: What is your response to that? In our opinion, I
Speaker 2: don't know anything about it. I'm not a big fan
Speaker 2: of The Atlantic.
Speaker 6: It's to me it's a magazine that's going out of business.
Speaker 6: I think it's not much of a magazine.
Speaker 2: But I know nothing about it.
Speaker 6: You're saying that they had what.
Speaker 5: They were using signal to boar date on sets of
Speaker 5: materials and having to do with what, how did you
Speaker 5: do with what?
Speaker 7: What were they talking about? Who DJ mean the attack
Speaker 7: or the hood Is?
Speaker 6: Well, it couldn't have been very effective, because the attack
Speaker 6: was very effective. I can tell you that I don't
Speaker 6: know anything about it. You're telling me about it for
Speaker 6: the first.
Speaker 2: Time, and so and AND's and I just want to
Speaker 2: hear that these these were the first two statements we got.
Speaker 2: Here's he so.
Speaker 5: Information about war plans against the Houthis and Yemen was
Speaker 5: shared with the journalist in the Atlantic, and were those
Speaker 5: details classified?
Speaker 8: So I'm you're talking about a deceitful and highly discredited
Speaker 8: so called journalists who's made a profession of pedaling hoaxes.
Speaker 5: Time and time again, to include the I don't know
Speaker 5: the hoaxes.
Speaker 9: Of Russia, Russia, Russia.
Speaker 5: Or the fine people on both sides, hopes or suckers
Speaker 5: and losers, hopes So this is the guy that pedals
Speaker 5: in garbage.
Speaker 3: This is what he does.
Speaker 5: I would love to comment on the Hoothi campaign because
Speaker 5: of the ill and courage of our troops. I've monitored
Speaker 5: very closely from the beginning. And you see, we've been
Speaker 5: managing four years of deferred maintenance under the Trump administration.
Speaker 5: Our troops, our sealers were getting shot at as targets,
Speaker 5: our ships couldn't sail through, and when they did shoot back,
Speaker 5: it was purely defensively or at shacks and Yemen. President
Speaker 5: Trump said no more. We will re establish de terrence,
Speaker 5: we will open freedom of navigation, and we will ultimately
Speaker 5: decimate the Hoothies.
Speaker 2: Which is all right, all right and just and then
Speaker 2: quickly to Trump's point, that's it's a good point, like
Speaker 2: not like it could have been that effective, but that's
Speaker 2: really not the issue. And this was independently then confirmed
Speaker 2: by both the Pentagon and the White House. So HeiG says, right,
Speaker 2: the guy is trash. But I don't know that that's
Speaker 2: the right response. Anyway. I'm curious what you think eight
Speaker 2: eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. If
Speaker 2: you want to all scream at each other, okay, we'll
Speaker 2: be right back. I understand that the true administration has
Speaker 2: to be deeply political. They're facing terrorists, right, I wrote
Speaker 2: this yesterday. You can't. They're not facing standard political opposition
Speaker 2: in all instances. Some of it is don't get me right. Look,
Speaker 2: the majority of people who don't like Trump are not terrorists.
Speaker 2: Let's just be abundantly clear here. However, for all the
Speaker 2: all of the rhetoric over the years about how a
Speaker 2: soldier's returning from war, people who owned Gadsden flags, all
Speaker 2: of these are potential, you know, enemies of the state.
Speaker 10: Right.
Speaker 2: Janet Napolitano put that study out under the Obama administration,
Speaker 2: and white supremacy is the single greatest terrorist threat on
Speaker 2: US soil. All that garbage that would shovel to you,
Speaker 2: the fact is right now, you'd have a hard time
Speaker 2: convincing me that the biggest terrorist immediate terrorist threat after
Speaker 2: what I still believe to be Islamic radical Islamic terrorism.
Speaker 2: I think that that's that still is number one, just
Speaker 2: because they've proved and what they're willing to do. And
Speaker 2: you got all these people running around with you know,
Speaker 2: like you know, we've got to bring down America. And
Speaker 2: these are kids on college campuses who are are likely
Speaker 2: trained activists in some instances. But then it's these people
Speaker 2: who literally are kind of in line with some of
Speaker 2: them willing to go and they they put they put
Speaker 2: an incendiary explosive device on a Tesla dealership in Austin,
Speaker 2: Texas yesterday. That's Weatherman stuff. That's bombings again, So that's
Speaker 2: who he's facing. That being said, it's more important than
Speaker 2: ever that you don't give them an inch. And one
Speaker 2: of the way you give them an inch is you
Speaker 2: don't deliver on big promises like the Epstein list, and
Speaker 2: you fumble the tech right. And trust me, I've worked
Speaker 2: with people. I used to work with a guy in
Speaker 2: radio that like, the printer was his nemesis, right, But
Speaker 2: he was a great, great broadcaster, but tech tech escaped him.
Speaker 3: Now, let's be fair. The printers can be jerks.
Speaker 2: They can be jerks, especially radio station printers, notorious jerks.
Speaker 2: That being said, I you know, you don't have to
Speaker 2: be the tech nerd to be the you know, to
Speaker 2: to be the man so to speak, like you know,
Speaker 2: hegseeth right in the case of of the d O
Speaker 2: D like like what Russ you watch Mission Impossible? Did
Speaker 2: you just rewatch some of the movies.
Speaker 3: Yeah, we watched all of them, but two because Marky
Speaker 3: said his haircut looks stupid.
Speaker 2: Tom cur is Tom Cruise the tech expert.
Speaker 3: He's not. No, it's Simon Peg Simon Pegg, right, but
Speaker 3: I mean that part of your team.
Speaker 11: Uh.
Speaker 2: And and Ving Raims too, depending on how deep he
Speaker 2: was it Ving Raims, you know, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Speaker 2: so it depends on how how far back you go.
Speaker 2: So like, yes, yes, I.
Speaker 3: Think the big deal isn't listen, it isn't like they're
Speaker 3: saying like specific trip movements and plans and we're going
Speaker 3: to use this to bomb this and that. Right, But
Speaker 3: the issue the issue is here, how that reporter should
Speaker 3: not have been on the group chat.
Speaker 2: Correct.
Speaker 3: That's the issue here. That's like a massive fumble and
Speaker 3: that needs to be corrected. Yeah, and again, does it
Speaker 3: mean you have to go shoot?
Speaker 12: You know?
Speaker 2: And I don't mean this literally, but you have to
Speaker 2: go shoot everybody?
Speaker 13: Right?
Speaker 2: You're always not? No, of course none, No, you have
Speaker 2: to you have to figure out how it happened, figure
Speaker 2: out how it won't happen again, and and you need
Speaker 2: to be open as to how it's not gonna happen again.
Speaker 3: And specifically like that reporter from that publication. Oh imagine,
Speaker 3: it's like, accidentally you're putting Rachel Maddow on a group chat.
Speaker 2: You didn't add Fox News is Bill Malugin or whatever? Right,
Speaker 2: you added the guy who is the dude who did
Speaker 2: the suckers and losers thing, and and let it become
Speaker 2: a tool to attempt to defeat you for years and
Speaker 2: years and years. But you pay. Keith Oberman would be
Speaker 2: the only one worse, I think. Can you imagine added
Speaker 2: Keith Oberman to that. He wouldn't have been able to
Speaker 2: shut up and listen though, so they would have figured
Speaker 2: it out immediately.
Speaker 3: No, he'd start typing in giant, big letters.
Speaker 2: You're all sated. You're like, oh man, what did we do?
Speaker 2: All right, let's uh, let's go and get to the phones. Uh, Donna,
Speaker 2: what's up?
Speaker 11: Good morning, casey morning.
Speaker 13: So Ross pretty much just said what I was thinking.
Speaker 13: How how did he get in there to begin with?
Speaker 13: And who knew that he was in there?
Speaker 2: Somebody had to add it. Somebody would have physically had
Speaker 2: to add him.
Speaker 13: So yeah, and that person should should not be allowed
Speaker 13: to put their grubby fingers on that text. Again, because
Speaker 13: who knows who also let slip in, like Joy Reid
Speaker 13: or Rachel Maddow or some other nut.
Speaker 14: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, at least did Joy Read and Keith Oberman
Speaker 2: would have been funny because they wouldn't shut up, But
Speaker 2: it would have been funny. What's not funny is the
Speaker 2: fact that it happened or there was an existing text
Speaker 2: chain that involved all these people that also involved this reporter,
Speaker 2: which is actually a more terrifying thing. So I think
Speaker 2: it's probably the least likely. But yeah, it's like, you know,
Speaker 2: it's like that's that you have on your father. It's
Speaker 2: a little different.
Speaker 13: But is it Mike Walt that's in charge of that?
Speaker 2: Well, and that's you know, that's what people are saying.
Speaker 2: But look, if Mike Walt, I don't know, if he's
Speaker 2: a technical guy and there's somebody within his department who's
Speaker 2: the one who sets this up, that would be perfectly acceptable.
Speaker 2: But then you have to figure out what you're going
Speaker 2: to do with that person. So I don't know that's fair.
Speaker 12: I don't know.
Speaker 2: People calling for specific heads at this point, I don't
Speaker 2: know is fair because I don't know how it came
Speaker 2: to be they needed to figure out how it came
Speaker 2: to be and hold that person responsible.
Speaker 11: It could be some you know, but but.
Speaker 2: Here's the thing. It also could have been a Mike
Speaker 2: Waltz who thought he was hitting, you know, somebody else's
Speaker 2: button and just had fat fingers because he doesn't understand
Speaker 2: the app And if that's the case, then they should
Speaker 2: not be in charge of getting these stuffs set.
Speaker 13: Up right and Bond, Pam BONDI can go now.
Speaker 2: Well, I'm just saying, look, if she did just not
Speaker 2: came back, I would have absolutely left open the possibility
Speaker 2: that the full document showed things that needed to be
Speaker 2: prosecuted and they're going forward. But then she went and
Speaker 2: did the second round of interviews, and I don't understand that.
Speaker 2: So anyway, and what if you're.
Speaker 15: In what if you wait a minute, I'm being.
Speaker 2: Yelled at, what what? What?
Speaker 11: What?
Speaker 13: My mother said? Uh? Who ever let the Atlantic and
Speaker 13: then needs need to shoot him dead?
Speaker 2: Oh she wants a d warte. Well, I tend I'm
Speaker 2: going to try not to use that cut even jokingly
Speaker 2: against US officials.
Speaker 1: So okay, yeah, probably not.
Speaker 2: Oh don't worry, we'll get more. We got some stories later.
Speaker 2: We'll get it in with you it's a little terrifying
Speaker 2: for us. Donna's mother. Her whole thing in the morning
Speaker 2: is listening to Warte threatened to shoot people. I'm just
Speaker 2: glad we could. We could do a show that appeals
Speaker 2: to everybody. That's right.
Speaker 3: It's like an old FDR fireside chats the same time
Speaker 3: as yeah, very cozy.
Speaker 2: Remember when remember Biden used to watch those on TV?
Speaker 2: You remember that. I remember he was mentioning the fireside
Speaker 2: chats on TV.
Speaker 3: I forgot all about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what did he say? Said FDR took to the
Speaker 2: TV to do the fireside chats for Yeah, that's one
Speaker 2: of my favorite Biden gaffs. I don't even know if
Speaker 2: I have I have it as part of the big montage,
Speaker 2: but you all can look it up if you want.
Speaker 2: All right, hey Jeff, what's up?
Speaker 12: Hey?
Speaker 16: Okay, see, I appreciate chat.
Speaker 10: Listen to you every morning hiding from Stetfield to Prayettville.
Speaker 1: My take is as an IT.
Speaker 16: Manager for the last three or four decades, and if
Speaker 16: you've seen some of the messages I've seen created by
Speaker 16: peotball act adding.
Speaker 11: Uh, somebody up to an email?
Speaker 12: Oh yeah, you know it's it's you know they they're
Speaker 12: bad mouthing a customer and they put a customer's representative
Speaker 12: in the email or a vendor.
Speaker 2: Or I've watched, sir, I have watched a person that
Speaker 2: I U a salesperson, do exactly. They weren't necessarily bad mouthing,
Speaker 2: but they weren't nice mouthing. And I was he seat
Speaker 2: on this email and I wanted and and it was
Speaker 2: not good what happened to them when they did that?
Speaker 2: So yeah, not at all.
Speaker 1: But you made one point that I want to bring.
Speaker 16: Back up when you mentioned that President fab had.
Speaker 1: A differing perspective.
Speaker 17: When I said that, I'm like, thank you that one
Speaker 17: of the problems that we have is too many people
Speaker 17: get that a lot staff with the present.
Speaker 11: That we have seen that for decades with.
Speaker 10: The Democrat where everybody is of one mind. That one
Speaker 10: of the strength so the Republican Party is that we
Speaker 10: have divergent views.
Speaker 2: It's in it and it's if you want to approach this,
Speaker 2: you're right. And if you want to approach this from
Speaker 2: a business perspective, people want to trash on Trump and
Speaker 2: it's his way or the highway, and it's once he's
Speaker 2: made the decision, it is, but one of the things
Speaker 2: that is that is clearly an attribute to Trump and
Speaker 2: to Elon Musk is the ability to to get outside
Speaker 2: information and maybe it does change their mind. I'll give
Speaker 2: you an example. Do you ever see the video of
Speaker 2: Elon Musk who's standing there, he's doing like a soft
Speaker 2: uh they're they're video and him having a conversation with
Speaker 2: a couple of people, and one of them suggests, I
Speaker 2: believe it was they had they had made the booster
Speaker 2: rocket do something, and they go, well, why doesn't the
Speaker 2: whole rocket do it? I can't remember what it was.
Speaker 2: And Elon on the fly stops forout ten seconds, stares
Speaker 2: at the ground, and he goes, that's a really good idea,
Speaker 2: and that's what they ended up doing. So here's the
Speaker 2: richest guy in the world, the king of the rockets,
Speaker 2: and some random woman is standing there and some dude
Speaker 2: and one of them, I can't remember which one just goes,
Speaker 2: why don't you do the whole thing? And he's just
Speaker 2: and he just realized. He's like, that's the answer, and
Speaker 2: it literally was instrumental into what the current rocket design
Speaker 2: looks like. That's another thing that good leaders can do.
Speaker 2: So it's clear that the advance was comfortable doing it.
Speaker 2: That that must be the relationship that they share and
Speaker 2: that is a positive. You're absolutely right, sir. All right,
Speaker 2: I gotta roll here. All right, Well, you know what,
Speaker 2: let's just jam all these calls in one jamal I
Speaker 2: got about I got a few minutes. So what's up, hey, Grace.
Speaker 1: See, I just want to say this, who ever had
Speaker 1: that man name in their robodics names to be fired.
Speaker 1: One of the things you just mentioned, I'm gonna tell
Speaker 1: you why. One of the things you just mentioned, Gaycy
Speaker 1: you and Ross was joking right about, was you said, Hey,
Speaker 1: you remember when Biden said he saw on television FDR's
Speaker 1: fire side chest. That didn't go viral, that didn't be said.
Speaker 1: So it's already we know, as Trump supporters and Trump
Speaker 1: and people who support Trump that you're not going to
Speaker 1: get a fair shape in the media. So you have
Speaker 1: to be extra cautious when you do something. You have
Speaker 1: to take the extra step to make sure that something
Speaker 1: like this won't happen because they're not going to talk
Speaker 1: about this. What happened with the Afghanistan things didn't even
Speaker 1: hardly talk about it. They only mentioned it when they
Speaker 1: wanted to get rid of body and sparingly. But when
Speaker 1: it was brought up, nobody brought that up during the
Speaker 1: election against Kamala Harrist But you know what, they did
Speaker 1: bring up the suckers and losers comment. The same people
Speaker 1: who brought up the suckers and losers. You know what,
Speaker 1: they're the ones who accidentally are on this snow. I
Speaker 1: don't believe this was an accident. I believe somebody because
Speaker 1: from past, because these people Atlantic, CNN, MSNBC, they always
Speaker 1: talking about an anonymous source, of monomous source, anonymous source,
Speaker 1: well sometimes and the anonymous source who is these anonymous sources?
Speaker 1: And then we hear fairly Griffet, who's on the view
Speaker 1: always trashing Trump, who is part of mike 's team?
Speaker 1: Oh so who are these people the Trump administration? You know,
Speaker 1: I'm a Trump supporter. You no, I'm a Donald Trump supporter.
Speaker 1: We can't afford to have these type of scripts. So
Speaker 1: whoever did that and created that list needs to either
Speaker 1: reside or they need to be fired, because we can
Speaker 1: out afford to have anybody on.
Speaker 13: Our team who casually speaks to.
Speaker 1: The Atlantic wr L means of observing and some other
Speaker 1: people from Chapel Hill have contact with me. Oh blah
Speaker 1: blah blah. They tell me who they are because I
Speaker 1: don't save their saving their number. I don't say who
Speaker 1: they are because I don't speak to them. I'm not going. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: last time I spoke with wr L, I clued them
Speaker 1: about what it's about, some of the stuff they said.
Speaker 1: When I ran from Mayor. They never called me back.
Speaker 2: Well, let me let me say this, and I appreciate
Speaker 2: the call there, Jamal, because I got to hit a
Speaker 2: break here. So over the course of today, as you're
Speaker 2: watching the story be analyzed, and if whoever's doing the
Speaker 2: analysis wants to make the content of what was communicated,
Speaker 2: which is not classified, there's even a statement there where
Speaker 2: they said, well, let's go to the let's go to
Speaker 2: the high side, let's go to the class fight communications channel.
Speaker 2: So they were clearly delineating. If they're trying to make
Speaker 2: the content the story so that they can juice it
Speaker 2: up like they were given away the Manhattan Project in
Speaker 2: the forties, ignore them. Those are not honest arbiters of this.
Speaker 2: But if they're discussing how a reporter got added, that's
Speaker 2: the story. That's the logical and fair discussion here and
Speaker 2: and I'm very curious to see where it goes. All right,
Speaker 2: six fifty, hang on, we got a little wrestling thing
Speaker 2: we got to discuss, and I'm going to get into
Speaker 2: this here at the top of the hour. But let
Speaker 2: me tell you what's going on. Let me tell you
Speaker 2: what's going on. And there's the funny way to go
Speaker 2: about this. Then there's also the you know, the people
Speaker 2: who we can have a serious discussion about it as well.
Speaker 2: But I did giggle when I saw this thing yesterday.
Speaker 2: So a bipartisan bill has been filed in the North
Speaker 2: Carolina Senate, and I want to give you the exactly
Speaker 2: here we go. It's this is the name of it,
Speaker 2: and obviously, like most of these bills, it's an acronym
Speaker 2: for something to see if he can pick it up
Speaker 2: while I'm telling you, an act too, And then here
Speaker 2: we go, remember iconic combatants through fostering learning, awareness and
Speaker 2: interest in wrestling. And it's bastling spelled with an R.
Speaker 2: What's that? I'm what did that? I'm sorry? What was
Speaker 2: that I just heard in the background. Yeah, yeah, somebody
Speaker 2: filed a bill in the Senate called the Rick Flair Act.
Speaker 2: Now what does it do? And you know, what are
Speaker 2: they hoping to accompany. I will fill you in on
Speaker 2: those details while we play iconic wrestler cuts and act
Speaker 2: like juveniles, but not really, because Ross and I have
Speaker 2: some ideas, I.
Speaker 3: Will stop it nothing to stay on top.
Speaker 2: You know why, because I'm Ross got to pull out
Speaker 2: is he has a stupid amount of wrestling cuts in
Speaker 2: the system, Joe dirt cuts and wrestling cuts.
Speaker 3: And the thing is there, not even for stories. I
Speaker 3: just have them in here and play them when we're
Speaker 3: off the air to myself, like, give him in a
Speaker 3: bad mood. I want to play this cut right here. Yeah,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna play this one ray here. I feel better.
Speaker 2: So I don't know that this goes anywhere, but man,
Speaker 2: I don't know. Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Maybe
Speaker 2: you think it's a good use of money, maybe you don't.
Speaker 2: Maybe there's maybe there's other ways to fund this if
Speaker 2: people actually want this. I'm a little surprised actually that
Speaker 2: there isn't a wrestling museum in North Carolina or Minnesota,
Speaker 2: which are kind of like those are kind of like
Speaker 2: the epicenters for a lot of what eventually became the
Speaker 2: top tier wrestling. I mean, obviously people are from North Carolina.
Speaker 2: You know this hell ri L. I don't even know
Speaker 2: if you guys know this. Wr L used to show
Speaker 2: at their studios host wrestling matches and this was a
Speaker 2: and and you know, going back to the days too,
Speaker 2: like in Greensboro with all of the stuff, and it
Speaker 2: was televised and and all, and you know all of
Speaker 2: this before it all just kind of became ww F
Speaker 2: and then WWE and and everything else. Is McMahon consolidated
Speaker 2: all of it. These were these were regions legendary for producing,
Speaker 2: uh you know the wrestlers who you know from the
Speaker 2: seventies and eighties and and even into the nineties, right,
Speaker 2: these these these uh, these secondary organizations that then became,
Speaker 2: you know, the conglomerate that it is so and and
Speaker 2: there's so many famous wrestlers who are from North Carolina
Speaker 2: or lived in North Carolina. Andre the Giant obviously, even
Speaker 2: though he's from France, lived in North Carolina until the
Speaker 2: day he died, had a nice little spread out there.
Speaker 2: In fact, you should watch that documentary. I think it's
Speaker 2: just called Andre, right, it's just called Andrea. The one
Speaker 2: that the uh, the one that's on I think it's
Speaker 2: on HBO. Max or maybe it's on No, maybe it's
Speaker 2: on Netflix. You should watch it.
Speaker 13: Uh.
Speaker 2: And of course Rick Flair, who Ross has an entire
Speaker 2: button bar dedicated to because of course he does, and
Speaker 2: uh and and many many others. And so the Rick
Speaker 2: Flair Act would this is a essentially a study. So
Speaker 2: when they go do projects that what they do is
Speaker 2: they do feasibility studies and they're it's it's eye opening
Speaker 2: what they cost. So in this case, it would direct
Speaker 2: five hundred thousand dollars to the Department of Natural and
Speaker 2: Cultural Resources to study the viability of a pro wrestling
Speaker 2: museum in North Carolina. I don't know if it's said.
Speaker 2: I don't know if it says where they necessarily want
Speaker 2: it to be, because that would be part.
Speaker 3: Of the study.
Speaker 9: Ross.
Speaker 2: What if they offered to knock those ice or condos
Speaker 2: down next to your house and put it there, would
Speaker 2: you be okay with it?
Speaker 3: I was going to say they should put it in
Speaker 3: wig forest unbiased opinion.
Speaker 2: Next to the cookout, right, yeah, yes, got a cookout
Speaker 2: on one side and olive gardener on the other.
Speaker 3: All the lights in my studio are flashing.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's okay.
Speaker 3: I don't know, it's kind of concerning you having a.
Speaker 2: Tecto techno party in there. I don't know, you got
Speaker 2: some gloves, sticks, takes some molly. What's going on in there?
Speaker 3: I'm in apocalypse now or something?
Speaker 2: Oh man, fine, Oh maybe it's the Hey, maybe it's
Speaker 2: the helicopter with the playmates.
Speaker 3: Right, that's yeah. But here's the thing. If there's anyone
Speaker 3: that's thinking about not voting for this bill, maybe they're like,
Speaker 3: you know, I don't know. Rick Flair's kind of a
Speaker 3: you know, he's he's a trickster. He's I don't know
Speaker 3: if I can support that. Here's one thing you had
Speaker 3: to realize about Ric Flair. He never turned a heel.
Speaker 2: Well, like a lawyer. Now you sound like a lawyer
Speaker 2: a little bit.
Speaker 3: He's not like one of these John Cena guys. Right,
Speaker 3: He's like, I'm a good guy and now I'm a
Speaker 3: bad guy.
Speaker 2: Do you have any theories as to why he quote
Speaker 2: never turned I.
Speaker 3: Mean that's because he was always a heel. But still
Speaker 3: my point standing, he never turned heel.
Speaker 2: Well, but then how do you deal Okay, but then
Speaker 2: how do you deal with it? Because I think on
Speaker 2: the list of wrestlers they mentioned with Sergeant Slaughter, that
Speaker 2: dude sold his soul to Iraq.
Speaker 3: Dude. I remember that that was a big deal in
Speaker 3: like nineteen ninety because it was like you know, Operation
Speaker 3: Desert Storm.
Speaker 2: Yeah, nor swashed a storm in Norman schwartz Cough was
Speaker 2: on TV every day, a yellow ribbon. We were doing
Speaker 2: that again.
Speaker 3: Yeah, if you're younger, if you're a younger member of
Speaker 3: our audience, and you know, you weren't alive to remember
Speaker 3: that it was a big deal because this was like
Speaker 3: a big conflict, you know, after the Vietnam veterans had
Speaker 3: come home and they were used to be treated a
Speaker 3: certain way, and I remember my father told us, He's like,
Speaker 3: we are going to support these soldiers, and it was
Speaker 3: a big deal in our community and especially with those
Speaker 3: at the VFW where we would all put Remember all
Speaker 3: the yellow ribbons we tied around our porches and our
Speaker 3: trees to show support for the troops because they didn't
Speaker 3: have the same sort of support when they were over
Speaker 3: in Vietnam. And it was a big thing in my household.
Speaker 3: And then we're watching wrestling as you do every single
Speaker 3: weekend with my father and Sergeant Slaughter comes up in
Speaker 3: front of me. Gene Oakerland decked out like like he's
Speaker 3: one of the guys from Iraq with the thing on
Speaker 3: his head.
Speaker 7: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's got to hold a boot and he's standing.
Speaker 3: The iron he unwrapped it. He had a president that
Speaker 3: was wrapped up in newspaper talking about the you know,
Speaker 3: Saddam Hussein going into Kuwait, and inside it was this
Speaker 3: boot with like the colors of Iraq that Saddam Hussein
Speaker 3: apparently sent him. And on one side you had Iron Cheek,
Speaker 3: who is now known as Colonel Mustafa, and you had
Speaker 3: another guy his name was like he he was like
Speaker 3: an older guy. I don't remember, Yeah, General and Non
Speaker 3: or something or whatever his name of it, but he
Speaker 3: was like an old he was older than the Iron Cheek,
Speaker 3: but he was like the leader. He was the general.
Speaker 3: And then you had colonel who was the Iron Cheek.
Speaker 3: And then he's up there and the crowd. I've never
Speaker 3: seen somebody get that much heat before. I still remember
Speaker 3: my dad was like, no, hell no, uh huh ah, this.
Speaker 2: House oh no, Sayer.
Speaker 11: Away, Hey, coer Away, and his name.
Speaker 3: Became a household.
Speaker 2: World around world. By the way, that crowd is not
Speaker 2: having any of it, right there, boy, not at all.
Speaker 2: They are like people are falling out of their seats.
Speaker 2: They're so mad, disgusting. How does that mean anything?
Speaker 3: I don't have a pone. What an absolute the genius move,
Speaker 3: What a genius move. And take Sergeant's laughter. Please have
Speaker 3: been a big hero big.
Speaker 2: He's under the all American boy there g I Joe.
Speaker 3: He's gonna come to you and the kids love him
Speaker 3: and we're gonna have him come out for Saddam Hussein.
Speaker 3: He was, he was what a great move.
Speaker 2: Anyway, he's a North Carolina guy. He actually follows Ross's account.
Speaker 3: That's going in the hall?
Speaker 2: What's that that's going in the Hall of Fame, that's
Speaker 2: going on right there? So yeah, so I don't know.
Speaker 2: Could she get a job down there? Just turning heel
Speaker 2: every day? It's like a tour guy. Like he's giving
Speaker 2: you a tour. You're like, oh, this is this great
Speaker 2: sergeants slaughter and then right in the middle of it,
Speaker 2: he like puts him in a prison cage. He's like, ah,
Speaker 2: I worked for Russia or whatever. Right, it would be amazing,
Speaker 2: like an interact. You know how people like experiences rather
Speaker 2: than just stuff. You could do that and then they
Speaker 2: could like put you somewhere and torture you and then
Speaker 2: you get the full experience. So all right, So if
Speaker 2: they don't want to vote for it, should they have
Speaker 2: to fight Rick Flair?
Speaker 3: Yeah? They should. And say what you will about Rick Flair,
Speaker 3: you know, being older, he's spry, he can take a bump. Still. Yeah, listen,
Speaker 3: would you want Rick Flair to put you in the
Speaker 3: in the figure four? I don't think so.
Speaker 2: No, God, no, no, not a chance. Man. This is like,
Speaker 2: this is this is this stuff just on a semi
Speaker 2: semi more say a younger note. I saw people were
Speaker 2: clowning on Chuck Lindell, the you know, the MMA dude
Speaker 2: and a boxer before that, and dude who absolutely in
Speaker 2: his prime would just destroy everybody, just destroy him, right,
Speaker 2: So he didn't fight anymore. And there was video of him.
Speaker 2: It's something down in Florida and he's wearing a T
Speaker 2: shirt and he's got a beer belly now and people
Speaker 2: are like they're making fun of him. I'm like two things. One,
Speaker 2: dude ain't working anymore. Two, you random Twitter person, you
Speaker 2: realize that if it on that dock after Chuck came
Speaker 2: out of the water and you're making fun of it,
Speaker 2: because he's now his shirt sweat that's clinging to his belly.
Speaker 2: He would destroy you in one one third of you know,
Speaker 2: one third of a second. Right if he hits you once,
Speaker 2: you would And it doesn't matter that he has a
Speaker 2: beer belly. He's still Chuck Lindell, Okay, And so I
Speaker 2: don't get the clown. But yeah, i'd love to see
Speaker 2: Rick fl I just remember we're still waiting for Cain
Speaker 2: and Tim Walls to wrestle, like we could put a
Speaker 2: whole card together. But also I understand why some people
Speaker 2: are going, well, if hey, if you want a museum,
Speaker 2: then why don't you fund it? And I've heard a lot,
Speaker 2: you know, I've heard people criticize the what the NASCAR
Speaker 2: Museum was supposed to be and would it actually cash flowed.
Speaker 2: I don't pretend to know all that. I did visit
Speaker 2: at one time, and it was okay, I had some
Speaker 2: time to kill in Charlotte. It was when I went
Speaker 2: down to interview Trump during the you know, going back
Speaker 2: to the twenty twenty election, I realized I'd never been
Speaker 2: a NASCAR museum. I went down to stay the night
Speaker 2: before the event, and I'm like, well, I got the
Speaker 2: day before the rally. So I actually went to the
Speaker 2: NASCAR Museum, okay, but a wrestling museum. I was just
Speaker 2: surprised that the only wrestling museums are in what Iowa
Speaker 2: and New York. Apparently they have they have to I've
Speaker 2: never been to either one. Ross did you? Did you
Speaker 2: ever go to the one in New York? I don't
Speaker 2: even know where it is.
Speaker 3: No, I'd absolutely no idea. It was like a thing.
Speaker 2: I wonder what town it's in. But if it's in Schenectady,
Speaker 2: then aren't you gonna feel dumb?
Speaker 3: Guy will feel super dumb, and then I will take
Speaker 3: a day off and go immediately.
Speaker 2: Oh well, no, that's not what I was Senectady. Please,
Speaker 2: I will send the butcher of Schenectady after you. What
Speaker 2: are you gonna do? Then? You guys don't know that reference.
Speaker 2: So have you guys see an Electric State?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the new Milie Bobby Brown Chris Pratt movie.
Speaker 2: Okay, and it's on.
Speaker 3: It's on.
Speaker 2: It's a purely a Netflix thing, okay. And I and
Speaker 2: people were hating on this thing, and I just assumed
Speaker 2: they were hating because there was some like woke stuff
Speaker 2: in it, because that's you know that's really what gets
Speaker 2: the twitter's hackles up. But so I was. I was
Speaker 2: bored over the weekend. I actually watched it over the weekend,
Speaker 2: and it's.
Speaker 3: A good movie. I don't understand the hate either. Like
Speaker 3: it's not super good, it's.
Speaker 2: Well, it's based on a book, and I think that's
Speaker 2: probably what we're dealing with here.
Speaker 3: But it's not horrible. But it isn't bad either. It's
Speaker 3: not exceptional. It's like, you know, it's okay. But I
Speaker 3: enjoyed the creativity of it and it was different in
Speaker 3: a good way. I don't think Millie Bobby Brown is
Speaker 3: really a good actress. I've come to that conclusion. I
Speaker 3: think she's great in Stranger Things because that character, that
Speaker 3: character has to be a little off, but she seems
Speaker 3: like that in all her scenes, So it doesn't work
Speaker 3: in other movies. Just my opinion. But there's a scene
Speaker 3: in it where one of the guys, the bad Guy right,
Speaker 3: is Gus Fring, the guy who plays Gus Fring from
Speaker 3: Breaking Bad Right. And in the movie, they when they
Speaker 3: introduce him, they show like the newsweek er, like the
Speaker 3: Time article cover, and it's his face and it says
Speaker 3: the butcher of Schenectady. His character is called the Butcher
Speaker 3: of Schenectady.
Speaker 2: And I know, you have to know there was a
Speaker 2: huge civil war between robots and people and nice this movie.
Speaker 3: I saw that and I nearly fell out of bed.
Speaker 3: I was laughing so hard. The Butcher of Schenectady and
Speaker 3: that's who he is in the movie. That's hisky.
Speaker 2: Hey, what happened in Schenectady? Though, I don't know, man, like,
Speaker 2: maybe maybe some people needed some butchering. I don't know.
Speaker 2: I you know, I don't want to I don't want
Speaker 2: to spoil it. He's the bad guy kind of but anyway,
Speaker 2: but yeah, like here's the thing I wouldn't be afraid
Speaker 2: to show. I don't have kids, so maybe you can
Speaker 2: correct me. I wouldn't be afraid to show that to
Speaker 2: kids that movie. Maybe not the Little Kid, not at all. Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean there's there's nothing really, there's nothing salacious in there.
Speaker 2: There's there's clearly some adult jokes.
Speaker 3: I think the issue was it costs like three hundred
Speaker 3: and fifty million or something stupid to make, and they
Speaker 3: were like, you know, a movie shouldn't cost that much
Speaker 3: to make.
Speaker 2: Well, if it's only gonna be on Netflix's the argument.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't know.
Speaker 2: Netflix can do whatever they want, but whatever, all right,
Speaker 2: So we covered a lot of ground, a lot of
Speaker 2: ground there. So yeah, we have the Rick Flair bill
Speaker 2: is the thing again, I don't know if it goes anywhere.
Speaker 2: Maybe it does, maybe it doesn't. Where would where would it?
Speaker 2: Where should a rest Let's say, if they're gonna go
Speaker 2: ahead and do this, all right, you're not able to
Speaker 2: stop it even if you don't want it. Let's say
Speaker 2: they're going to do this, or let's say that they
Speaker 2: you know, take a referendum to the people. Where do
Speaker 2: you put the wrestling museum? Where do you put it?
Speaker 2: I mean some people say, well you put it in Rale,
Speaker 2: you put it in the Capitol? Well why why would you?
Speaker 2: Why would you put it there? Why wouldn't you put
Speaker 2: it in Charlotte, where Rick Flair basically lived and near
Speaker 2: where Andre was. Well, you know, Charlotte gets all the stuff.
Speaker 2: Why wouldn't you put it in the triad? Some of
Speaker 2: the most legendary early like old school wrestlers were pounding
Speaker 2: the pavement there in Greensboro and do it and doing
Speaker 2: all those shows. And why shouldn't Greensboro get something or
Speaker 2: pick you know, a smaller town in between. I don't
Speaker 2: know the answer to that, but it'll be interesting if
Speaker 2: this goes forward to hear him argue over it, and
Speaker 2: I don't know who comes out on top. All right,
Speaker 2: seven twenty coming up on the show, Oh we have
Speaker 2: a hate crime, except we don't, but we will fill
Speaker 2: you in on those details. And dude, you have you
Speaker 2: had like quote unquote, you know respectable pundits. I have
Speaker 2: to make air quotes because you're talking about you know,
Speaker 2: these CNN people like Bishop Talbert Swan and others who
Speaker 2: I don't know if they got duped or they were
Speaker 2: actively in on it, but were defaming jd Vance yesterday.
Speaker 2: You can't And I understand his vice presidents. I don't
Speaker 2: necessarily mean like they would win in court for that.
Speaker 2: I just mean they clearly had to know what they
Speaker 2: were doing, Like the cadences off everything. They purported to
Speaker 2: have a damning recording of jd Vance trashing Elon Musk,
Speaker 2: and within a second of listening to this, you realize
Speaker 2: that's not jd Vance, that's either bad AI or whatever.
Speaker 2: We'll play it for you. Let you be the judge
Speaker 2: coming up here on the CaCO Day radio program broadcasting
Speaker 2: with you until we're not able to. So they are
Speaker 2: running some giant machine because there's construction in the building,
Speaker 2: and it's not then necessarily the noise issue, although I
Speaker 2: guess feasibly if they got right outside the studio you
Speaker 2: might be able to hear it.
Speaker 3: But today it's pretty loud though.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but like it's sucking so much electricity. Ross is
Speaker 2: having a techno party in his studio because it's juicing
Speaker 2: off his electrical pan.
Speaker 3: Giant grinder thing they're putting down on the floor and
Speaker 3: they're grinding the floor thing. They're doing very important grinding work.
Speaker 3: It's my professional opinion. And I went talking to Josh,
Speaker 3: the floor manager, and I'm like, hey, all my lights
Speaker 3: are flickering when they're doing this. Is it like a
Speaker 3: fire hazard? And he's like, no, you know, it's taking
Speaker 3: in so much energy the amps or whatever. It's like
Speaker 3: sucking off you know, it's like taking away the stuff
Speaker 3: from your lights and they're flickering. Yeah, it doesn't sound
Speaker 3: safe to me.
Speaker 2: The problem. The problem is the only thing that matters.
Speaker 2: I mean, the lights are one thing. I don't know
Speaker 2: that that's a safety issue necessarily or though maybe an
Speaker 2: electrician can correct this. I'm concerned if if the lights
Speaker 2: are flickering, how much juice can the your bored? Because
Speaker 2: Ross's board is the only board that matters. It's the
Speaker 2: end all be all from where the show goes through, right,
Speaker 2: It's the final the final boss, so to speak. So
Speaker 2: I'm just wondering how much juice can we lose before
Speaker 2: that thing t tries to reset itself and what nightmare
Speaker 2: would But I don't want to speak that into existing.
Speaker 3: So you're saying the board also runs on these amps?
Speaker 10: Is that it?
Speaker 2: Yes? Yes?
Speaker 3: I like win amp No No, the.
Speaker 2: Thing from back in the day when you were pirating
Speaker 2: music that you then used to listen to it that thing.
Speaker 2: I mean I didn't do that, but others I'm.
Speaker 3: Sure did listen. Man full disclosure, not an engineer.
Speaker 2: Not an engineer. I don't know. Maybe we should call
Speaker 2: John ask him so anyway, uh so, uh fingers crossed
Speaker 2: everybody else see how it goes. I will tell you this,
Speaker 2: If they do juice that board doing that, I don't
Speaker 2: think these construction guys are going to get to start
Speaker 2: till nine anymore, because you know the boss is gonna
Speaker 2: lose their crap.
Speaker 3: Oh yeah, I mean it's gonna it's flickering pretty bad,
Speaker 3: and it's it's sort of starting to mess with my
Speaker 3: brain because I do feel like I'm in like a nightclub.
Speaker 2: Well maybe we should Maybe we need a backbeat just
Speaker 2: for the whole show. Could we have Darud? Can we
Speaker 2: just put Darud behind the rest of the show. We'll
Speaker 2: go from there, all right, let me grab let me
Speaker 2: grab some calls here. Oh man, well yeah, wait, hold on,
Speaker 2: we got all sorts of stuff. All right, let's start
Speaker 2: with David. He's holding the longest. David, what's up than Casey?
Speaker 1: Let me show.
Speaker 4: I appreciate you giving me the time to wait issue
Speaker 4: and on issues of great importance. Tampa, Florida for wrestling.
Speaker 2: Oh no, no, no, I'm I'm I'm I'm not, sir,
Speaker 2: But I was talking about I because like in uh,
Speaker 2: but Tampa was Tampa a primary emergence place. I know
Speaker 2: that whole you know, you got hole down there, you
Speaker 2: got a bunch of people. But I kind of always
Speaker 2: tribe the Tampa was where they then went to, versus
Speaker 2: where they came from. Is that inaccurate?
Speaker 4: A lot of them came from the Tampa area of
Speaker 4: course Hulk came from the damp they are. But Eddie
Speaker 4: Graham was a wrestler and a promoter. He was the
Speaker 4: McMahon of the sixties and seventies. Gordon Soley was the
Speaker 4: announcer he sent the stage for all the announcers. Paul Bear,
Speaker 4: where that character came from was from a kids horror
Speaker 4: movie announcer back in the sixties. Yeah, that was They
Speaker 4: didn't just make that up.
Speaker 2: That came from. I remember I watched Paul Bear be
Speaker 2: interviewed about how he came to be Paul Bar and
Speaker 2: he was talking about you know that. And also when
Speaker 2: he essentially McMahon told him, he's like, you're Paul Bear.
Speaker 2: What do you think of that? And explained it to
Speaker 2: him and he's like, I guess I'm Paul Bear. So yeah,
Speaker 2: that was great.
Speaker 4: And then you've got Johnny Valentine. Jack Briscoe was actually
Speaker 4: an NCAA champion, never defeated in his senior year, never
Speaker 4: even went down once. He was never taken down in
Speaker 4: his senior year, and he became the wrestling champion of
Speaker 4: the world for several years. You got Lahoe, McDaniel, Gosh,
Speaker 4: Lex Lucer came out of there the brothers.
Speaker 1: You're great.
Speaker 4: Malinka was the first Russian.
Speaker 11: Heel.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, let me say this, sir. I don't broadcast
Speaker 2: in Tampa, though I used to every now and then
Speaker 2: when i'd fill in for Schnid. And I like Tampa
Speaker 2: very very much. I have lots of friends there. But
Speaker 2: I think we should have the museum because well.
Speaker 4: We'll have to agree to disagree.
Speaker 2: Well that's fine, that's but you know what, that's what
Speaker 2: we do, and that's why these conversations are, as you said,
Speaker 2: of great importance, sir. So I appreciate the call this morning.
Speaker 3: Okay, I did.
Speaker 2: All right, there we go. So that guy's trying to
Speaker 2: siphon it. He's very knowledgeable. He's trying to siphon it
Speaker 2: off to Tampa. No, you guys have the what's the
Speaker 2: big strip club there? That's what you guys get in
Speaker 2: burn Steakhouse? Uh Mons V you get Mons Venus and Burns.
Speaker 2: So why don't you just let us have something? Okay?
Speaker 2: All right, very good? Oh real quick, Anthony, what's up?
Speaker 11: I just uh, I don't know why we're also stilling
Speaker 11: shade of Ben Jones in white cars.
Speaker 2: He's not he said, he mind his own business. You're
Speaker 2: talking about the mayor up there.
Speaker 11: Yeah, she's got us, she got she's got a supporting
Speaker 11: cast because, uh, my friend Chief Harrington, he's full of
Speaker 11: chief police. And then Colonel Claws is up there. He's
Speaker 11: got a great, great name already.
Speaker 2: He was a Yeah, but now you're getting into uh
Speaker 2: heel territory where you have a wrestler whose friends jump in.
Speaker 11: No, No, he was a he's a great dude. He
Speaker 11: was a he's an orphan and he supports the Baptist
Speaker 11: Children's Home and he was a a Hue pilot in Vietnam.
Speaker 2: I'm not I'm not trashing on the guy. I'm just
Speaker 2: saying if he's not mayor, he doesn't have to be
Speaker 2: the mayor of Royal rumble.
Speaker 3: So, oh, I know who Anthony is talking about? Anthony
Speaker 3: he's he's a big deal around December time, right, yeah.
Speaker 11: Oh yeah, he's a he's a Yeah, he's a legit.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Hannah, So so make him mayor, like interim mayor
Speaker 2: for like whatever weeks we're doing the Royal rumble and
Speaker 2: and then uh, oh, well don't you want the don't
Speaker 2: you want the uh do you want the economic boost? Yeah,
Speaker 2: that's all I'm saying, so.
Speaker 11: All right, that makes more people will come there. Too
Speaker 11: many people there already.
Speaker 2: All right, all right, thanks man going on Nimby on
Speaker 2: the wrestling and I understand what he's saying about the traffic,
Speaker 2: but I think he he puts forth a really good
Speaker 2: argument as to why the museum should be in wake
Speaker 2: Forest unbiased opinion. Yeah obviously, yeah, right between directly between
Speaker 2: the cookout and olive garden r Yes, okay, yeah, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't even have to ask you what you're doing with
Speaker 2: your weekends anymore. Yeah, I on Friday and I'm like, hey,
Speaker 2: you guys doing anything in you when we get off
Speaker 2: the air, Like, you guys doing anything interesting this week?
Speaker 2: And he'd be like, duh, going to the wrestling Museum
Speaker 2: with my peach shake and my chicken Alfredo? What do
Speaker 2: you think that'd be amazing? All right? Some people want
Speaker 2: Wilson's mills. Oh well that's that, you know. I didn't
Speaker 2: realize both of those Shane Helms and the Hardy boys
Speaker 2: came out of there. Well, then their mayor better get
Speaker 2: to you know, practicing, get ahead of this thing. All right,
Speaker 2: So I mentioned some audio. Let's go ahead, get over
Speaker 2: to this with Bishop Talbert swan you it's so obviously
Speaker 2: fake that I don't believe that somebody who is a
Speaker 2: commentator sometimes panelist on multiple media outlets writes, somebody who
Speaker 2: sits there, listens to audio cuts, watches clips and videos
Speaker 2: to I'm gonna use the phrase loosely inform their position
Speaker 2: doesn't quickly realize that I don't know that they made this,
Speaker 2: but they sure as hell should have known it wasn't real.
Speaker 2: But they ran with it. And they weren't the only ones.
Speaker 2: He's just one of the higher profile ones. A clip,
Speaker 2: a piece of audio that emerged of the vice president
Speaker 2: trashing on Elon Musk. Right, and then these are the stories. Obviously,
Speaker 2: if you're the political opposition, this is what you want
Speaker 2: to see. You want to see your political opposition fracturing.
Speaker 2: Right feels good, feels good, you know, admit it. When
Speaker 2: you saw things unraveling clearly between Kamala and and Joe
Speaker 2: Biden and or more specifically Joe Biden and like Nancy Pelosi,
Speaker 2: didn't you feel a little good? It felt a little
Speaker 2: good because you don't like either of them, most of
Speaker 2: you some of you did, I guess maybe, but but
Speaker 2: it feels good. So that's the that's what they're trying
Speaker 2: to play on here. The problem is, well there's I'm
Speaker 2: gonna play the audio first and then you tell me
Speaker 2: if there's anything that stands out to you that would
Speaker 2: make you perhaps question the authenticity of it. Okay, all right,
Speaker 2: here we go. And I said, but he's not.
Speaker 7: He's just.
Speaker 2: Hospun. It's pretty er.
Speaker 1: That's the ports the grace, and.
Speaker 6: He hasn't thought as.
Speaker 2: He all right, I'm gonna stop it there. So the beef,
Speaker 2: I guess if you, if you could understand it is
Speaker 2: Vance or what they purport to be. Vance is like
Speaker 2: he's not even from here, he's from South Africa, he's
Speaker 2: not elected official. I don't like him, right, all the
Speaker 2: stuff that if you're going to mock one of these up,
Speaker 2: you'd go for ross anything that stands out to you
Speaker 2: as an audio expert un in this business.
Speaker 3: He told it doesn't sound real at all. It's just
Speaker 3: the way he's talking, the way, the inflection, the pacing.
Speaker 3: They they're they're covering it up with this apparently echo effect,
Speaker 3: as if he's in like a giant room or something
Speaker 3: something they're talking in a bathroom or something like there's
Speaker 3: a feeling inche on it, there's an echo. It's not real.
Speaker 3: There's no part of that. If you work in audio,
Speaker 3: you listen to it and you're like, yeah, that's a
Speaker 3: real human being talking.
Speaker 2: And if it's not JD. Vance speak, I don't even
Speaker 2: think JD. Drunk would sound.
Speaker 3: No, it's it's not even good AI. It's bad. Yeah,
Speaker 3: because there is some really good AI out there. You're like, man,
Speaker 3: that's no question.
Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah. Some of the Barack Obama stuff was pretty
Speaker 2: remember when they were doing that, and then Joe Rogan
Speaker 2: with the with the monkeys or what right, remember with
Speaker 2: the Hockey monkeys? Okay, that wasn't very good either. But
Speaker 2: my point is it's clearly not real. So to push
Speaker 2: it out as somebody who kind of works in the media,
Speaker 2: I kind of think you knew that and you didn't care.
Speaker 2: But it's not like you had any credibility to squander.
Speaker 2: You know, it does have credibility to squander. Raced aging
Speaker 2: from the Weather Channel, right, So hey, well what have
Speaker 2: you been up to? Man?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 9: Traveling, traveling. I saw the big bosses up there in
Speaker 9: the big city.
Speaker 2: Yeah, how did your h how'd your daughter stay? By
Speaker 2: the way, this is proud. I'm gonna let him do
Speaker 2: the proud papa thing, so uh, go ahead, brag away.
Speaker 9: That was great. Carnegie Hall Saturday night they played with
Speaker 9: the New England Symphony. Really was was. It was a
Speaker 9: great performance, great experience. Had some family from upstate New
Speaker 9: York come down. Mom came down, my sister came up
Speaker 9: from Florida.
Speaker 3: So it was nice.
Speaker 9: It was real cool.
Speaker 2: But it's not often your kid gets to play at
Speaker 2: Carneal halls.
Speaker 9: Exactly. It's a good vation nonetheless.
Speaker 2: Really, well, that's good man.
Speaker 9: It was pretty neat. It was pretty neat. Got to
Speaker 9: go to the I Heart Building in New York City,
Speaker 9: was right, Okay, yeah, that's nice place.
Speaker 2: Did you see the miss tunnel?
Speaker 9: I did?
Speaker 12: Oh?
Speaker 9: Is that the one with the white with the laser light.
Speaker 2: Show and the mist? Yeah, but it wasn't working. Oh
Speaker 2: I'm shocked at Yes, I'm gonna get fired for that.
Speaker 3: You were gonna put John on it?
Speaker 2: Call John, we'll have to fix it. Yeah, side joke,
Speaker 2: but one that's never gonna go away. All right, I'm
Speaker 2: sorry the miss total wasn't working. Maybe next time, buddy,
Speaker 2: So yeah, next time, next time. How about we are
Speaker 2: we gonna get any missed. We got any missed for us, Yeah,
Speaker 2: we could.
Speaker 9: We could use some air quality and parts of the state,
Speaker 9: especially just west of Charlotte where most of the wildfire
Speaker 9: burning is a little bit elevated, and it's some wind
Speaker 9: and very little rainfall around the next several days. Certainly
Speaker 9: isn't going to help. Some clouds, A lot of it's
Speaker 9: off toward the north on the Virginia border. This morning.
Speaker 9: That's a weekfront. It's going to sag south sun and
Speaker 9: clouds today. Still up sixties, maybe low seventies in the triangle.
Speaker 9: Maybe a shower today. I don't even know if we're
Speaker 9: gonna dampen the ground, but there might be a few showers,
Speaker 9: especially early. Not really gonna help much of anything to
Speaker 9: put any wildfires out. As we dropped to the low forties.
Speaker 9: Go look at datamar still a little breezy, more seasonable,
Speaker 9: means closer to average. Lo to mid sixties. Thursday, similar
Speaker 9: load to mid sixties and sunny and then Friday. I
Speaker 9: even think we're going to be in a pretty good
Speaker 9: shape of more sunshine around. Probably don't get raining here
Speaker 9: back into maybe Sunday night Monday. It could be a
Speaker 9: few thunderstorms too, so no real big changes. Next few days, dry,
Speaker 9: little breezy today tomorrow before we start seeing some change
Speaker 9: come in with some dry weather but less wind and
Speaker 9: more seasonable temperatures. But then by Monday, with the next
Speaker 9: front coming in, we could be back up near eighty
Speaker 9: in some spot. So you know, Casey, we're making that.
Speaker 9: I think we've made that turn. Now, well, get cold
Speaker 9: again probably. I really think it's tax day for me
Speaker 9: where we start saying, you know, we're not going to
Speaker 9: see any cold air come back in again, but right
Speaker 9: now looks like a pretty good week.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, we'll take it. Thank you, sir. We'll
Speaker 2: talk in an hour and we we'll be right back.
Speaker 2: This interesting little announcement yesterday, here's the President, and.
Speaker 6: They were delighted to report that Honday is announcing a
Speaker 6: major five point eight billion dollar investment in American manufacturing.
Speaker 6: In particular, Hunday, we'll be building a brand new steel
Speaker 6: plant in Louisiana, which we will produce more than two
Speaker 6: point seven million metric tons of steal a year, creating
Speaker 6: more than fourteen hundred jobs for American steal workers. And
Speaker 6: then there'll be major expansion after that this will be
Speaker 6: Hyundai's first ever steel mill in the United States, one
Speaker 6: of the largest companies in the world by the way,
Speaker 6: supplying steel for its auto parts and auto plants, and
Speaker 6: Alabama and Georgia, which will soon produced more than one
Speaker 6: million American made cars every single year. The cars are
Speaker 6: coming into this country at levels never seen before.
Speaker 2: Get ready.
Speaker 6: This investment is a clear demonstration that tariffs very strongly work.
Speaker 6: And I hope other things also, but the tariffs are
Speaker 6: bringing them in at levels that have not been witnessed.
Speaker 2: So and look, here's the deal. Actually, if and let's say,
Speaker 2: if Hyundai lives up to all of what it says,
Speaker 2: so this, you know, it's like everything else, it's phased.
Speaker 2: The total investment is actually closer to twenty one billion.
Speaker 2: And then also Rolls Royce announced yesterday they're moving manufacturing
Speaker 2: over to the US because and I know this is
Speaker 2: this will come as a shock to people, I guess
Speaker 2: who know nothing about history. The US is where people,
Speaker 2: where people want to do business.
Speaker 13: What is that.
Speaker 3: It's a construction cheese man.
Speaker 2: Okay, never mind, I'm enthusiastic. Apparently we're a pretty good
Speaker 2: consumer market, like the best consumer market still and the
Speaker 2: you know this move. This is how the US used
Speaker 2: to be funded was tariffs, but also it was funded
Speaker 2: through rapid growth, innovation and expansion, right and and there
Speaker 2: there still was some tax things that played into it,
Speaker 2: but it wasn't what we what we know now with
Speaker 2: federal income tax and getting taken on tariffs. Remember, if
Speaker 2: we want to export a car to the US, it's
Speaker 2: a ten percent tariff. If they want to export two
Speaker 2: excuse me, to Europe, it's a ten percent tariff. If
Speaker 2: Europe exports here it's two and a half percent. How
Speaker 2: we got into these deals and this insanity is beyond me.
Speaker 2: And all Trump said is we're going to equal your tariffs. Well,
Speaker 2: then companies that want to be able to be competitive
Speaker 2: and sell in the US market, their hand is forced.
Speaker 2: And if you want access, if you want access to
Speaker 2: this group of consumers, then you need to have some
Speaker 2: skin in the game. Is basically what's going on here.
Speaker 2: And we said, there's a whole hell of a lot
Speaker 2: more Rolls Roycist sold in the US than there is
Speaker 2: in the UK. Oh Man, like Bob the Builder episode
Speaker 2: or something. Listen of the background noise fits in all right,
Speaker 2: couple couple things we got to get to is we
Speaker 2: kick off this hour. We're just talking about the response
Speaker 2: from Hyundai, Hyundai Hyundai and Rulls Royce and some other
Speaker 2: companies that are saying, you know what, now it makes
Speaker 2: financial sense to manufacture or at least partially manufacture our
Speaker 2: products here in the US because this is the consumer
Speaker 2: market we are most interested in selling our product in.
Speaker 2: They have the money. Maybe not as much as we
Speaker 2: used to, but you know, still financially it's easier to
Speaker 2: sell your product. And now it makes fiduciary sense. And
Speaker 2: then people are screaming about, oh, you know, the tariffs
Speaker 2: don't work. Well, sometimes they do. This is what it
Speaker 2: looks like when it is working. Now there is a
Speaker 2: really interesting threat coming up, and this I think will
Speaker 2: be a very big test. So Trump announced yesterday that
Speaker 2: any nation who purchases oil from Venezuela would be with
Speaker 2: a twenty five percent tariff by the US. So obviously
Speaker 2: this is clearly about punishing Venezuela for purposely and deceitfully.
Speaker 2: I believe, is the terms that Trump used sending violent
Speaker 2: criminals to the United States.
Speaker 9: Okay, so that is the.
Speaker 2: That's what's up with that. The issue is a few things. One,
Speaker 2: Chevron actually did have the ability to purchase oil from Venezuela.
Speaker 2: They are going to be weaned off of it. There's
Speaker 2: a essentially that is going to go away. So what
Speaker 2: countries remain, Well, the countries that remain that he could
Speaker 2: attempt if they don't depart from Venezuela and don't stop purchasing,
Speaker 2: are not little countries, okay, like China's one of them.
Speaker 2: So what does that look like? You know, China is
Speaker 2: from a trade war standpoint, the tariff standpoint, that's the
Speaker 2: that's the big one, right, just just due to the
Speaker 2: amount of goods and services go from China to the US,
Speaker 2: almost almost exclusively from China to the US. And what
Speaker 2: does that look like? I don't know. So Trump issued
Speaker 2: a thirty day wind down order for the Chevron license
Speaker 2: that was granted back in twenty twenty two. By the way,
Speaker 2: just so we're clear, that was a that was a
Speaker 2: Joe Biden thing. So that's going away. But the so, China,
Speaker 2: India is the second largest procure of oil from Venezuela,
Speaker 2: and then Spain for some reason, but those three countries
Speaker 2: less less less concerned about Spain since that's more of
Speaker 2: an EU thing, but China and India? What does that
Speaker 2: look like? And I I don't know the answer that.
Speaker 2: Obviously there's a lot of goods produce over in India.
Speaker 2: How does it impact companies that procure services from India?
Speaker 2: I don't know the you know, like offshore call centers
Speaker 2: or you know, various corporate stuff, tech support, various things.
Speaker 2: Is that now tariffed that service? And when what does
Speaker 2: a company do who's decided that they are going to
Speaker 2: use an Indian call center? I don't know what that
Speaker 2: looks like. But that's a that's a big threat, man,
Speaker 2: And it's about starving Venezuela for for what it is
Speaker 2: that they do. I don't know that you could logically
Speaker 2: argue that Venezuela didn't intentionally send Trend de Arragua and
Speaker 2: other gang members out of their country like they saw
Speaker 2: an opportunity, they did it one hundred. I don't think
Speaker 2: that's and and Maduro's essentially fest up to it, right
Speaker 2: because he's just because remember Maduro wanted to fight. He
Speaker 2: wanted to fight Elon. Remember they were gonna have like okay,
Speaker 2: then it turned into like space rockets and lacers and stuff.
Speaker 2: The whole thing was just a weird conversation. But again,
Speaker 2: you're dealing with the dude who doesn't just see his
Speaker 2: himself and and and it's clear obviously that last election
Speaker 2: was rigged. All the other countries around him, who have
Speaker 2: even been friends are like, bro, that was pretty blatant, Right,
Speaker 2: You're dealing with somebody who's willing to do whatever it
Speaker 2: takes to remain in power, who operates under the assumption
Speaker 2: that he's like reincarnated. I've explained this before, the Blood
Speaker 2: of Boulevar, which is it's a big machismo thing, and
Speaker 2: within Latin culture in South America, the you know, Simone Boulevar,
Speaker 2: the Sword of Boulevar, the history of Peru, Colombia, and
Speaker 2: Venezuela inextricably linked, and and it's such a it's such
Speaker 2: a macho thing that back in the day, Pablo Escobar
Speaker 2: literally tricked a bunch of commies into bombing out the
Speaker 2: Supreme in Colombia and then retrieving the sword for him,
Speaker 2: and then he used the sword to kill one of them.
Speaker 2: So there's that, like, that's who you're dealing with. You're
Speaker 2: dealing with the guy who's just out of his mind.
Speaker 2: So this is how you financially starve them. And let
Speaker 2: me tell you one of the things that I still remember,
Speaker 2: which was very striking to me, is on that trip
Speaker 2: I took to Ecuador and Colombia a couple of years
Speaker 2: ago and went to a place called Guatapei, which is
Speaker 2: outside of Medazine and in Metazine. There are Venezuelans living
Speaker 2: all over the streets, obviously displaced from Venezuela, just jam
Speaker 2: packed in there, and a lot of them are what
Speaker 2: you would consider traditional or like their version of native
Speaker 2: Native Americans who have basically been pushed out of the
Speaker 2: country because they are in a lesser cast system. And
Speaker 2: Venezuela just shoved him over into Colombia. And they just
Speaker 2: sit on the street in that very indigenous, colorful dresses
Speaker 2: with their kids panhand. It's incredibly sad, incredibly sad. And
Speaker 2: so this starves the beast further. And I don't know
Speaker 2: if it if it then prompts the people of Venezuela
Speaker 2: to rise up against this guy. But this is a
Speaker 2: really big threat, and again not just for Venezuela, but
Speaker 2: also what will India and China do if threatened with
Speaker 2: twenty five percent tariffs? I mean, the reasonable thing has
Speaker 2: to be that they go find their oil elsewhere. It's
Speaker 2: just not worth it to keep doing business with Venezuela,
Speaker 2: even though Venezuela continues to have one of the largest,
Speaker 2: uh the largest untapped amount of oil, Like that's the
Speaker 2: that's the big thing they got going for him. They
Speaker 2: have an incredible amount of oil. But financially, I don't
Speaker 2: know how that works for China, and I don't know
Speaker 2: how that works for India. Like I'm less concerned about India.
Speaker 2: I think India will be more likely, but maybe China
Speaker 2: doubles down because remember China's thing is to eventually try
Speaker 2: to control everything everywhere all the time, because they got
Speaker 2: so many people that they create these massive work projects.
Speaker 2: When they do these, like you have a bunch of
Speaker 2: Chinese oil drillers over there. They gets some massive industry
Speaker 2: as part of their deal with Venezuela, and they'd have
Speaker 2: to fold all that up because I financially, it's just
Speaker 2: not worth the twenty five percent. So we'll see where
Speaker 2: it goes, all right, eight eight eight nine three four
Speaker 2: seven eight seven four? Umm, where is this?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Here we go.
Speaker 2: So officials in Allentown, PA. Officials in Allentown, Pennsylvania, have
Speaker 2: announced charges against a city employee, alleging she made a
Speaker 2: false police report and even tampered with evidence after reporting
Speaker 2: she found Are you ready for this? Dun't did it
Speaker 2: on a noose on her desk in January. And I'm sorry,
Speaker 2: here's the thing. Maybe it's not fair because look, there
Speaker 2: are there are weirdos, and there are people who absolutely
Speaker 2: like just spend a few minutes on Twitter. There there's
Speaker 2: plenty of there's plenty of racists that exists. So feasibly,
Speaker 2: could somebody who wants to, you know, make a racist
Speaker 2: point put a noose on somebody's desk?
Speaker 1: Sure?
Speaker 2: Have I seen one in the news that turned out
Speaker 2: to be real? In the last ten years, I don't
Speaker 2: remember one. Ross. Have we done a story where somebody
Speaker 2: did actually intentionally put a news to intimidate somebody a
Speaker 2: black person? Have we had any story?
Speaker 3: The ones that I remember all turned out to be hoaxes, right,
Speaker 3: you know that.
Speaker 2: Like a duke where it was like a Chinese lantern, right,
Speaker 2: And then had another one where it was a student,
Speaker 2: but it was a student who was a minority student.
Speaker 2: Then you had the NASCAR thing court, Yeah, Bubba Wallace. Yep,
Speaker 2: there's a well juicy smolet that involved obviously a noose there.
Speaker 3: Right, They said this is Doge country, if I correctly.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, I think that's what That's what they said.
Speaker 2: So yeah, police in January announced an investigation into the
Speaker 2: incident when a city employee identified as Latarsha Brown. What
Speaker 2: does she do? She works for the Economic Development Department.
Speaker 2: I don't know what her job is there, probably just
Speaker 2: you know, kind of paper pusher. But yeah, so she's like, ah,
Speaker 2: there's a news on my desk. This just can't stand.
Speaker 2: And of course she immediately threatened lawsuits and all that,
Speaker 2: and had herself a civil rights lawyer. But and in fact,
Speaker 2: almost immediately a group of activists descended upon city Hall
Speaker 2: screaming for justice and accountability because they've decided it's a
Speaker 2: hate crime. And they didn't even like that they were investigating.
Speaker 2: So the city ended up bringing the FBI in because
Speaker 2: they're like, all right, like this is getting out of control,
Speaker 2: let's get the FBI in. There's the FBI comes in.
Speaker 2: They investigate for like two or three weeks late January,
Speaker 2: and eventually they get a search WARRKT for this woman's
Speaker 2: DNA why because on the news it's the old only DNA.
Speaker 2: Now that's not necessarily enough, right, somebody could have used gloves,
Speaker 2: I guess. But and she, you know, she handled the news,
Speaker 2: but she also started giving changing all of her statements,
Speaker 2: giving deceptive answers, and eventually she's I don't want to
Speaker 2: say she fessed up to it initially, but it became
Speaker 2: really really clear that this was not as it seems,
Speaker 2: and it just so happened to coincide with an activist
Speaker 2: group there, a larger activist group who'd been trying to
Speaker 2: get some traction going that basically city Hall was wrought
Speaker 2: with racial discrimination, even though it was pointed out that
Speaker 2: like the minority employee, the percentage of minority employees in
Speaker 2: the city far surpasses their actual statistical representation within the
Speaker 2: local population. So if it's twenty percent twenty two percent
Speaker 2: black or whatever it is, you had like thirty percent
Speaker 2: of the employees that were black. So they weren't getting
Speaker 2: any traction on that insanity. And finally finally they're just like,
Speaker 2: all right, well we got to do something. And so
Speaker 2: now I think they're trying to figure out if maybe
Speaker 2: that this was this was intended as escalation and not
Speaker 2: just her doing it on her own. But if you
Speaker 2: saw that story, that's where they are.
Speaker 7: Now.
Speaker 2: Okay, all right, coming up on the show, do we
Speaker 2: need Do we need a sequel to uh my cousin Vinnie?
Speaker 9: Really?
Speaker 2: Is that a thing we need? I'm just like, how
Speaker 2: would you even do that? What's Marissa Tomy up to?
Speaker 2: I don't know have you seen has?
Speaker 12: What is?
Speaker 2: When was the last time Marissa Tomy was and something?
Speaker 2: I'm sure she has been. I don't even know, but like,
Speaker 2: and you know, obviously Ralph Macio's in that movie and
Speaker 2: he's older now, but he's been doing the Cobra Kai thing.
Speaker 2: Do we need that? We need another? We need another
Speaker 2: of my cousin Vinnie? Also, how about Vinnie himself? He's
Speaker 2: a little getting a little older. I guess you could
Speaker 2: do it, but like that's just remember that. Remember how
Speaker 2: crazy that movie was, just because it was so good?
Speaker 2: And then Marissa Tomay literally was she won what Best
Speaker 2: Supporting Actress?
Speaker 3: She was great, and she plays Peter Parker's ant in
Speaker 3: the news spider Man.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, That's why I knew she was in
Speaker 2: something and I thought that, But then I thought I
Speaker 2: couldn't remember if it was her some other chick.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: So, like the pieces are there, but the story was
Speaker 2: just such it was. It was meant to be a
Speaker 2: one and done, do you know what I mean? Like,
Speaker 2: where do you go from that? Because at that point now,
Speaker 2: part of the the part of the unfolding of that
Speaker 2: story was people not knowing who he was, right and
Speaker 2: then him playing with the names. I can't I can
Speaker 2: remember what was what was his name in the movie.
Speaker 2: He claimed his name to be the.
Speaker 3: Last Joey Gallo. Joey Callo, Callo.
Speaker 2: Gallo, That's what it was. Yeah, and the and and
Speaker 2: all of that, and and like but now he's he's
Speaker 2: on the he's on the Yeah. Now let me ask
Speaker 2: you a question, Ross, would you rather do the show
Speaker 2: from the radio studios today with construction going on? Or
Speaker 2: Vinnie's hotel room.
Speaker 3: It's a nice hotel room, man, it was a nice
Speaker 3: hotel room. I don't know about around the four thirty.
Speaker 3: It's a little loud, but.
Speaker 2: Yeah, well, hey, people got to go to work. Trains
Speaker 2: got to go where the train's got.
Speaker 3: Probably quieter than here.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's a that's a good point. But yeah, now
Speaker 2: they're talking about one to do that. I saw an
Speaker 2: interview with Ralph Machio who said that the other I
Speaker 2: can' remember the other actor's name from Cobra Kai, but
Speaker 2: you know his his nemesis. Machio refused to do any
Speaker 2: anything with Karate Kid. He refused because he said it
Speaker 2: was cheap, it was nostalgia, it was just that, and
Speaker 2: it was just cashing in on it. And they had
Speaker 2: to fundamentally change the dynamics of what they wanted to
Speaker 2: do for Cobra Kai, so it was a new story
Speaker 2: all of its own. I never really got into the show,
Speaker 2: but I know a lot of people like it.
Speaker 3: Are you're talking about Zapah.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and like he had he took Machio to lunch
Speaker 2: and he's like, look, no, man, this is not going
Speaker 2: to be just a continuation. In fact, now you're going
Speaker 2: to be the bad guy kind of, although some argued
Speaker 2: he was always the bad guy, but that's for internet
Speaker 2: forums and got him to do it. So if he
Speaker 2: felt that strongly about not wanting to do Cobra Kai
Speaker 2: and had to have basically, you know, put it off
Speaker 2: for years and then eventually was able to be convinced,
Speaker 2: I can't believe he'd jump at my cousin Vinnie, although
Speaker 2: maybe he now he likes the money coming in, so
Speaker 2: who knows. And his thing was he wouldn't do it
Speaker 2: anymore because Pat Merita was dead, and I guess him
Speaker 2: and Pat Merita were like best friends until the day
Speaker 2: Pat Merita died. And they actually ce Gi Marita into
Speaker 2: an episode of Cobra Kai. I just saw the clip
Speaker 2: of it, so and it didn't and it wasn't as
Speaker 2: weird as when they did it in Star Wars. So
Speaker 2: that was that was kind of nice, all right. A
Speaker 2: couple other things we got to get to here. Somebody's
Speaker 2: donkey just got given away ross you guys lose a
Speaker 2: donkey man. No, we don't allow him in our home.
Speaker 2: You know allowed donkeys. Well, you don't have to put
Speaker 2: him in the home. He keep in the yard that
Speaker 2: we're more of like an elephant family. I see, Okay,
Speaker 2: all right, Well we got a donkey story whatever, we'll
Speaker 2: get into that. And quite a few other things, including
Speaker 2: a Florida man and you ready for this, a famous
Speaker 2: floridamand maybe not instantaneously name recognition famous, but I think
Speaker 2: some of you will pick up on it. I saw
Speaker 2: the story. First I said it to Ross. He immediately
Speaker 2: knew who I was talking about, who apparently had a
Speaker 2: little altercation at a restaurant down in Florida. Except I
Speaker 2: don't want to blame the victims, but how the restaurant
Speaker 2: didn't know this was going to happen. The dude promised
Speaker 2: and told you what he was going to do in
Speaker 2: the nineties. He'd been on the record for thirty five years,
Speaker 2: and yet this still came to pass. I'll explain coming
Speaker 2: up what I was six point one fam talk and
Speaker 2: you was talking ninety four or five w pt I
Speaker 2: more with Casey.
Speaker 3: He starts, Now, oh.
Speaker 2: The mac He's returned, all right, So you know who
Speaker 2: this dude is.
Speaker 3: You know the sort, all right?
Speaker 2: So you got to go back to the nineties and
Speaker 2: the world of one hit wonders. That guy's name is
Speaker 2: Mark Morrison, and today Mark Morrison is our Florida Man
Speaker 2: of the day.
Speaker 1: Let's go.
Speaker 3: Florida Man.
Speaker 7: Florida Man is something in the water the errors hand
Speaker 7: that makes you do all that crazy crap. It's like
Speaker 7: the state is one big dumb ass trap. Nowhere else
Speaker 7: has the Florida Man.
Speaker 18: It is almost like as the weird factor climbs to
Speaker 18: find out it haven't in Florida every time Florida then Florida.
Speaker 7: Man, if anyone can cheer me if you know you
Speaker 7: can't just mind life. It crazy, but of course, but
Speaker 7: it's not as bad crowd him crazy as yours. Nowhere
Speaker 7: else are you gonna find him.
Speaker 11: They're so used to it.
Speaker 7: They don't find Timoray for Florida there.
Speaker 2: So the I was trying to think if you had
Speaker 2: any other and I looked this up ross seat. Well,
Speaker 2: he does have other songs. He did not chart any
Speaker 2: to obviously the extent that that song.
Speaker 3: But I can tell you like I started interning at
Speaker 3: flinty two in Albany in like nineteen eighty six, ninety seven. Yeah,
Speaker 3: and that song was played probably every hour, like three
Speaker 3: times an hour.
Speaker 2: Oh it was hues. Yeah. Return of the Mac is
Speaker 2: the name of it. I guess if you want to
Speaker 2: look it up.
Speaker 3: And I remember thinking, I'm like, what's he back from?
Speaker 3: Like I didn't know he was gone, I didn't know
Speaker 3: who he was.
Speaker 2: I don't know, you know, he's German. He was actually German.
Speaker 3: I had no idea.
Speaker 2: Yeah, moved to the US when he was very, very young.
Speaker 2: Uh So, anyway, here's what happened. So this is in
Speaker 2: Palm Beach and on Friday night. On Friday night, he
Speaker 2: was at a restaurant and there was some disagreement over
Speaker 2: I think the volume of Yeah hang on all right,
Speaker 2: So so that he had an event on Friday. I
Speaker 2: guess they had got one of the party rooms or
Speaker 2: some at this restaurant. I'm not familiar with this restaurant
Speaker 2: because I don't hang out in Palm Beach because I
Speaker 2: ain't that rich. And so he's there, He's got some
Speaker 2: other undisclosed hip hop star. Doesn't say who it is
Speaker 2: in the story here. And on Friday, they're in the
Speaker 2: room and they're blasting music. I'm assuming he's probably last
Speaker 2: in his own music. Yeah, So he's blasting that and
Speaker 2: it's so loud that it's even though the doors are closed,
Speaker 2: it's permeating throughout the rest of the restaurant. And so
Speaker 2: the manager goes over and it's like, Hey, you got
Speaker 2: to turn it down. And that's set this dude off.
Speaker 2: What what are you laughing about?
Speaker 3: If I was him, man, I would walk in everywhere,
Speaker 3: like wherever I go. I'm walking into Jersey Mountain.
Speaker 2: Walk on slim. Yeah, I mean, what you gotta do,
Speaker 2: what you gotta do. You just better hope that you
Speaker 2: have a you were a one hit wonder with something
Speaker 2: people still want to listen to, like not.
Speaker 3: Aqua, you know, so excited. Oh my god, he's back.
Speaker 2: Can you imagine if you're Aqua and you have to
Speaker 2: do that, how annoyed people would be with you?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: No, no, your car is going to be set on fire.
Speaker 2: They stop playing Farbie girl. Oh my gosh, well you
Speaker 2: might get away with it. This close to the bar,
Speaker 2: he's gonna get in or whatever.
Speaker 3: Yeah, no, oh good.
Speaker 2: Chris Cross, well neither of them could why they're both dead,
Speaker 2: right Christ and Cross? We're doing one of these things, right,
Speaker 2: are they? Yeah, one of them died at least.
Speaker 3: But Mark, we're wrong with the backwards pants. But Mark
Speaker 3: Morrison is okay.
Speaker 2: Well so so anyway, So, like I guess, he felt
Speaker 2: disrespected and embarrassed in front of whoever the other hip
Speaker 2: hop it doesn't again, it doesn't say who it was,
Speaker 2: so he stooed over it. He left on Friday, and then,
Speaker 2: according to police, he came back Saturday and immediately went up.
Speaker 11: He had his.
Speaker 2: Manager with him too, which he still got a manager,
Speaker 2: and he rolled up to the man, the manager of
Speaker 2: the restaurant. So he's got his his manager with him,
Speaker 2: he's got a crew with him, I guess, goes up
Speaker 2: to the manager of the restaurant and started berating him,
Speaker 2: and was also thrown a lot of like really racist
Speaker 2: stuff at the manager. It doesn't specify what it is,
Speaker 2: and I don't know the ethnic background of the manager,
Speaker 2: but it was described as by witnesses as a very
Speaker 2: racially charged confrontation that almost exclusively was coming from Morrison.
Speaker 2: He then physically shot of the manager. The manager did
Speaker 2: not do anything except to kind of retreat behind an
Speaker 2: employee area and then Morrison left. So there you go.
Speaker 2: That's that's what police are dealing with.
Speaker 11: There.
Speaker 2: He's gonna be arraigned. What are they actually charging him with?
Speaker 2: I think simple assault at this point, but they're looking
Speaker 2: at some other stuff. So I get a question, if so,
Speaker 2: if you had to blow out with this doing on Friday,
Speaker 2: how do you not assume he's coming back Saturday.
Speaker 3: It's what he does. It's what he does.
Speaker 2: And if you hear that, you know in the distance
Speaker 2: in the parking lot, you got time to hide.
Speaker 3: So here's Mark again.
Speaker 1: He's back.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's returned. The mac has returned. Who could have
Speaker 2: foreseen this? So yeah, we haven't had a celebrity floor
Speaker 2: to Man of the Day for a while. That's amazing,
Speaker 2: all right there, I know it's a little silly. Actually
Speaker 2: we got other music news too.
Speaker 3: I guess.
Speaker 2: The chick from Heart what is her? What is what
Speaker 2: is her name? Wilson? Nancy Wilson. I want to say Carney,
Speaker 2: and I knew it wasn't Carnie Wilson obviously, but so
Speaker 2: Nancy Wilson. She decided that she would get on Twitter
Speaker 2: yesterday and once let everyone know quote America is more
Speaker 2: embarrassing than ever. And but she didn't say she was
Speaker 2: gonna leave, and and people just destroyed her on the Twitter.
Speaker 2: They they wanted her. They said that she should be
Speaker 2: charged for terrorism by playing seventies heart music or eighties
Speaker 2: harp music rather than the vastly superior seventies, including Barracuda,
Speaker 2: which is probably as you're probably familiar with that obviously.
Speaker 2: But yeah, they just absolutely decimated her. So now she's
Speaker 2: talking about how she she's probably gonna leave, so I
Speaker 2: maybe should go live in Ireland with Rosie.
Speaker 3: Can you oh I heard they're kicking Rosie out. What Yeah, yeah,
Speaker 3: I read that yesterday. Like she like applied for whatever
Speaker 3: it is over there, and they're like, you have to
Speaker 3: leave in thirty days.
Speaker 2: Well I think that. I think that a bunch of
Speaker 2: you know, Canada just there. Used to be you could
Speaker 2: get a ninety day tourist bes into Canada and they
Speaker 2: just knocked that to thirty for us, and I think
Speaker 2: some of the European countries are doing that. Ah we
Speaker 2: do we have to let her back? I mean yes,
Speaker 2: in the grand scheme of things, yes, she's you know
Speaker 2: US passport holders born here. But do you think we
Speaker 2: could trick her?
Speaker 12: Right?
Speaker 2: So somebody goes to like, I don't even know where
Speaker 2: she is in Ireland, does she's a Limerick or the
Speaker 2: Shannon Airport, Dublin, whichever one one of those two, But
Speaker 2: figure out which one she's flying out of, and then
Speaker 2: you know, mess with like you know when you show
Speaker 2: up at the gate and it says, ah, this is
Speaker 2: the flight on the TV screen, mess with it. And
Speaker 2: then I'm thinking, like what Abu Dhabi or something, you know,
Speaker 2: like where Garfield used to try to send Odie. She
Speaker 2: gets off the plane just send her. You're gonna have
Speaker 2: to send her somewhere where they speak English so she
Speaker 2: doesn't immediately pick up on it. Maybe South Africa here,
Speaker 2: that's nice right now if you're white. So I just
Speaker 2: don't you know, and just don't open a farm, dude.
Speaker 2: How that continues to be a thing is beyond me.
Speaker 2: Do you see the video of them sitting there singing
Speaker 2: the other day about killing the boars again, killing the
Speaker 2: white farmers. What an absolute powder keg down there. But
Speaker 2: you know, maybe Rosie could turn them all around with
Speaker 2: her wokeness. So there is that, although she's so woke,
Speaker 2: she'd probably be like, yeah, let me help you kill
Speaker 2: the boars. But we'll never know unless we try, is
Speaker 2: the point that I'm making. All Right, we got Ray
Speaker 2: stage ready to rock and roll today. Get into that
Speaker 2: if you all right? Maybe not yet? 's just checking there.
Speaker 2: So yeah, we got all the music news and movie
Speaker 2: news and all sorts of craziness going on day. But
Speaker 2: we'll talk to Ray here in just a moon and
Speaker 2: because some decent weather is not I do have one
Speaker 2: other audio clip I wanted to get to. Oh the yeah,
Speaker 2: the James Carville thing. Yeah, we'll have to get into
Speaker 2: that here in uh here in the last segment of
Speaker 2: the show again eight eight eight nine three four seven
Speaker 2: eight seven four. That'll go ahead and get you on
Speaker 2: the on the show, although you're gonna have to be
Speaker 2: quick because we've got the one segment and rased agings
Speaker 2: here too.
Speaker 9: Right in your day as Oh yeah, yeah, I wish
Speaker 9: there was more rain in the forecast, you know, kind
Speaker 9: of took a look here. Air quality is. It's not bad,
Speaker 9: it's worse where some of the more widespread brush or
Speaker 9: wildfires are southwest of US, northwest of Greenville, South Carolina,
Speaker 9: west of Charlotte's kind of a bunch hanging around there,
Speaker 9: but there's still spotty brush fires elsewhere across the state.
Speaker 9: Not getting much luck from that. And then I forgot
Speaker 9: about the pollen thing, I mean the pollen. Oh yeah, yeah,
Speaker 9: seas and seasons order MEAs and season, and there's not
Speaker 9: much to clean it out. Over the next several days,
Speaker 9: we'll see temperatures come down a bit with a week
Speaker 9: front that's going to come through today, but after that
Speaker 9: not much help. Maybe a shower as we head on
Speaker 9: through tonight after near seventy degree temps today, clouds and
Speaker 9: sun really depends on where you are. For now, most
Speaker 9: of the clouds are north. Most of those clouds coming
Speaker 9: through later with that shower chance just before midnight won't
Speaker 9: be a bunch, maybe a tenth of an inch, and
Speaker 9: then we'll drop to the low forties or thirties overnight
Speaker 9: into Tomorrow morning, and it's sundy for the rest of
Speaker 9: the week. Low to mid sixties on Wednesday and Thursday.
Speaker 9: Still a little breezy tomorrow, but I should see that
Speaker 9: breeze calm down Thursday and mild er Friday with sun
Speaker 9: little bit seventies. Next chance of rains probably Sunday night
Speaker 9: to Monday, with thunderstorms too. So right now it looks
Speaker 9: like on the weekend we're gonna get back close to
Speaker 9: eighty degrees in some spots. So overall through the weekend,
Speaker 9: one chance has seen some rain, and that's some showers tonight,
Speaker 9: not going to be a bunch. Sunday night. Monday may
Speaker 9: be a better opportunity with a front coming in.
Speaker 2: You know who I feel really bad for with the
Speaker 2: pollen coming on is the Clemson men's basketball team. Since
Speaker 2: they're back in South Carolina now don't have to deal
Speaker 2: with it.
Speaker 9: So I'm ignoring you.
Speaker 2: So I'm concerned about your team's health and well being.
Speaker 9: Well, now you got what three left for the portal
Speaker 9: already in Oh yeah.
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 9: This is what happens when you get money, you sign
Speaker 9: the coach to a big extension, and you lay an egg.
Speaker 9: And that's exactly what happened, little complacency. My women's bracket's
Speaker 9: still good though. I've got Yukon.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well you saw that the Yukon like literally one
Speaker 2: of the Yukon Comm's dudes might get charge of the
Speaker 2: crime in North Carolina.
Speaker 9: Here, No, I didn't see that.
Speaker 12: What was that?
Speaker 2: So the coach Yukon's coach after lost to Florida, it
Speaker 2: was it was at Lenovo in Raleigh, and he went ballistic.
Speaker 2: He went on this tyroid, which that isn't necessarily the problem.
Speaker 2: That's the thing you deal with. A reporter caught the tirade,
Speaker 2: and apparently one of the one of the big and
Speaker 2: the athletic Department Yukon threatened the reporter to quote ruin him. Well,
Speaker 2: you can't communicate threats in North Carolina like that. It's
Speaker 2: and now they're investigating. So oh yeah, so we'll see,
Speaker 2: all right, I got a roll. Thank you, sure appreciate it.
Speaker 2: We'll see. We'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next. Jeff.
Speaker 2: What's going on? Boarding Casey a.
Speaker 19: Wall Street started the week with a mundy rally. It
Speaker 19: looks like stocks will build on that rally. Futures are
Speaker 19: modestly higher. Right across the board now futures or up
Speaker 19: ninety points. We do get a key report about an
Speaker 19: hour from now. It could offer clues about spending. Economists
Speaker 19: think we'll hear that the Conference Board's consumer confidence index
Speaker 19: declined this month. The president of the Federal Reserve Bank
Speaker 19: of Atlantis, as tariffs could slow the central Bank's fight
Speaker 19: against inflation, Rafael Bostik, told Bloomberg Television he now expects
Speaker 19: the Central Bank to cut interest rates just once this year.
Speaker 19: He had been expecting two reductions.
Speaker 3: There's been a.
Speaker 19: Surge in the number of federal employees using the Indeed
Speaker 19: Job search place since the Department of Government Efficiency began
Speaker 19: its review of agencies and their workforces. A study by
Speaker 19: the INDEED Hiring Lab found applications have increased more than
Speaker 19: fifty percent among workers at agency singled out for review. Now,
Speaker 19: the bankruptcy of twenty three and me is raising some
Speaker 19: concerns about individual privacy. The genetic testing company has DNA
Speaker 19: profiles on millions of people. Now the twenty three in
Speaker 19: me has put itself up for sale. That information is
Speaker 19: going to go to the highest bidder seems hard to believe,
Speaker 19: at least to me. But the animated film Toy Story
Speaker 19: debuted thirty years ago Disney and Pixar, who worked with Mattel.
Speaker 19: The companies are planning to launch several new Toy Story
Speaker 19: products this year. Some are available now, more around the
Speaker 19: way and case, no one is going to accuse NBC
Speaker 19: Universal of failing to plan ahead. Now, the Major League
Speaker 19: Baseball season is just getting underway, and NBC is reportedly
Speaker 19: starting to line up ads for the twenty twenty six
Speaker 19: Super Bowl. Variety reports the network will be looking to
Speaker 19: sell thirty second commercials for about seven million dollars each.
Speaker 2: Casey okay, all right, and hopefully Ross's team or my
Speaker 2: team will be there, but hopefully not together because then
Speaker 2: we have to fight each other. So all right, thank you, Jeff,
Speaker 2: appreciate it. Have a good yea tomorrow. Yeah, I don't
Speaker 2: think it will be us.
Speaker 3: Ross.
Speaker 2: Is this your year? Because last year you claim was
Speaker 2: a rebuilding.
Speaker 3: No, no, no, it's confirmed. Yeah, no, he got the MVP.
Speaker 3: Now it's the last year in the ralph which is
Speaker 3: the old stadium, and then next year they can hang
Speaker 3: the Super Bowl banner in the new stadium. Oh yeah,
Speaker 3: it's perfect.
Speaker 2: Then I'll know it's rigged because that's just perfect. Yeah,
Speaker 2: all right, Hey, it is an anniversary today. I want
Speaker 2: to make sure that we get this.
Speaker 11: It is.
Speaker 2: It is the thirty now, the thirty first anniversary of
Speaker 2: James Carville's famous prediction on CNN. Here we go. Let's
Speaker 2: see if it held up, shall we.
Speaker 14: But what I've said, very public said, Democrats need to
Speaker 14: play possum.
Speaker 9: This whole thing is collapsing.
Speaker 14: It doesn't need Elizabeth Warren and somebody screaming to pacify
Speaker 14: some progressive advercy groups in Washington, which, by the way,
Speaker 14: I wish these people were just useless. They're actually worse
Speaker 14: than useless. That they're detrimental and they never ever learned
Speaker 14: to shut up. I believe that this administration in less
Speaker 14: than thirty days, in the midst of a massive collapse,
Speaker 14: and particularly a collapse.
Speaker 2: In public opinion. Ross, can you check real quick and
Speaker 2: see if the Trump administration is collapsed.
Speaker 3: Let me put in it is not it is not
Speaker 3: a well maybe you know it would be.
Speaker 2: A margin of error, like we're only one day past prediction.
Speaker 2: Do you what do you give him a few days?
Speaker 2: I mean he said by what he did say by
Speaker 2: thirty days, and you know, if he was predicting a
Speaker 2: year out was within a couple of days, then I
Speaker 2: might give it. I don't know if I could give
Speaker 2: him more than like he has till the end of today.
Speaker 2: Can we agree on that end? We'll give him one
Speaker 2: extra day because you know, sometimes things come up, you
Speaker 2: get a doctor's appointment, whatever you got sick. Thinks you
