Friday-11-10-2023

All right, good one, and everybody, you're welcome. It is six oh seven, it is Friday, which, uh we love that, and also it's kind of an exciting week. I tend to like mentally tally the most the dumbest, make your brain hurt story each and every week that we do, and occasionally, if it's really really good and has really really good audio, that I might call back on, as you've heard us do it from time to time on the air. But then go, oh, maybe

we did, maybe it tightened out. I Actually what I did is I created an email folder because I email the stories old Ross individually, and then if I there's something I'm like, this could be evergreen, I put it over in that folder. In some weeks it doesn't have anything. But this

week had a lot of possibilities. And I gotta tell you, man, when it comes to the most damn near seizure inducing, brain dead stupid stories or stupid takes, I should say, uh, we got we got a late contender, man, and we've had some backcrap crazy stuff this week. But oh, reading reading, what is this reporter's named Megan mccardal hold on here, I'm telling you man, reading, uh so well, let me, let me set the let me set the scene on this, and yes,

we're gonna this is how we get opened the show. Deal. There is like everything else that that is going on, whether it's a piece of media or a narrative or official government statements. Uh, the fact is that no nobody believes anything coming out of anywhere, even if they see it with their own eyes. In what's going on over in Israel, right, Like, I've literally come to the point where what I do is I kind of see something and then I'll watch it throughout the day and watch the evolution of

it. And don't get me wrong, there's there's stuff that I think, to my satisfaction, was put out there and then I think pretty clearly debunked right where they where somebody goes. You know, here's some like this individual wasn't here because here they are, and we can prove that they were in this location, right and you know, even then, who the hell knows,

but you just you try to operate as best you can. And the story I saw yesterday, which had a lot of twists and turns, was a continuation of the embedded ap Reuter CNN, and even I think the one guy had been under contract for New York Times at one point, freelancers. And understand, these are not These are not reporters from the office in Atlanta or New York or DC that were sent over there. These are these are individuals who are hired and reside in these areas. I don't have any opposition

to that. I mean, you know, if we talk about if we talk about, you know, the ability especially in a in a country like that, to operate, or in Ukraine or in Iraq, Afghanistan, obviously people you know, people who are local and have knowledge of the area and perhaps have contacts. There are some valuable there's valuable things there, and there

are journalists. I just want to be abundantly clear, there are journalists that they do live in these areas and may even have you know, maybe Ukrainian or Russian or maybe Palestinian Israeli. Right, However, I don't think it's

unfair the question that was being asked yesterday. If you're an embedded reporter, right, you've got yeah, you went up to the U to the Hamas dudes and and and uh and you're like, I want to be embedded, and they agreed to it because they love you know, they love the fact that somebody is going to be there as their uh you know, their photo journalists for what they're doing. Because keep what was done out of the out

of the mouths of Hamas leadership. What was done on the seventh was done because they thought that all of a sudden, the rest of the Arab countries and and the totality of the Palestinian people would rise up and uh, you know, uh wipe Israel off the map. That's what That's what they thought if they did something big and bold enough as as you can extract from statements by Hamas interviews that their leadership is giving and uh from a strategy standpoint,

just hear me out here. I'm not in any way condoning it. I understand how somebody may think that that was going to work because they in their mind, they know what their willingness is to do something and it you know, they're they're bought in so much they think everyone else is bought in, all right, And so with that in mind, they're gonna love the idea of having these folks along. But the challenge is and and I give you

and I'll give you another version of this. We've seen interviews that have been done done over the years with you know, people that the US military is out they're trying to hunt them down. Right, people were at war with Taliban officials Saddam Hussein who gave sit down interviews to not just folks who are are our freelancers, but to you know, the ABC nightly news hosts. And to do that, the journalists are not working in coordination with the government.

They're generally having to go through a jump, a bunch of hoops and be brought to a location which they then don't disclose, and then that criticism starts. This is different. And what you saw is reporters who were either they either they knew that something was up or at the very least once what was up started to happen, had to immediately recognize what was going on there.

And it's just different. And I saw that. Israel said, look, if you're doing that, you're going along there and you know you're you're gleefully filming this, then you're just one of them. And that irritated a bunch of people. Well, then a video emerged of what appears to be one of the reporters on the back of a motor by holding a grenade.

Well, then immediately the conflation started on Twitter, and the video was video posted to the reporter his own Facebook page, so that gets out there, and then half of Twitter's like, dah, that's not real that you know, it's a Jewish propaganda and they're like, it's on his page all that, and then people said, well, they were just right, this is

a this is Twitter's favorite line. Well that's already been debunked. How many times do you see that on something that hasn't been So people started posting that, and then I saw one ac count conflated one of the reporter's names with another. The guy's name is Hassan Alsa Lawi, and it was one of the other reporters. And then people are going in, well, no, this was debunked because it wasn't him, because it was somebody else on a

motorbike that looked like him. But in reality, the name had got conflated. So at that point, do what you will with it. And frankly, you know, I would have given it a mention today, but thankfully one of the journalists outlets that hires these freelancers, the Washington Post, Megan mccardal, decided she's she's an editor reporter over there. She decided to jump in on this and explain why people are overreacting. According to mccardal, I'm

gonna read this verbatim quote. I understand Israel's anger, but it is morally wrong in a political mistake to target journalist who rushed to cover a story. Possibly some of them are complicit, I don't know, but Israel should get the benefit of the doubt. Again, there is a reporter when a video posted to his own page on the back of a motorbike with one of these you know, these Hamas terrorists and he's holding a grenade. It's clearly a

grenade, not your traditional reporter equipment. Or is it? I just said Rosser, are we missing out? Maybe? Look I don't. We don't do print journalism or TV TV we do. Is iHeart screwing us? Are we supposed to be issued weaponry? I've I've talked about this before. I have several weapons hidden around the building. I know, I know, Well that's a violation. I know. I was motivated by Dwight shrewd from the

office after I saw them. It's a great idea for our protection. So okay, I don't want to go into detail, but they should, they should give us weapons. Yes, it's very Look remember that dude who was just chilling in front of the building here around last month. Yeah, terrifying. Oh my gosh. Wait, so like clay More's or oh oh Claymore or exploding rambow, broadhead archery set. Now are you talking about Claymore? Like the lightning infused great sword? Uh? No, no, you're right,

I should have cleared the magic infused great sword. Now I'm talking. I'm talking a little little I'm talking. The little box says, point this thing at the enemy. Okay, and uh, very popular for murdering, uh, murdering your opponents in GoldenEye back in the day. So when one guy was the bomb guy. So uh yeah, which you got to pick one man? You know more or rainbow exploding arrows? Well, the whole set you get the you get the whole bow and everything. Yes, no,

no, no, what that's my answer? Yes? What are you gonna do? You gonna tie the claim order the exploding broadhead? Yeah? Okay, so you guys ready you understand if you ever are you shot? Uh archery? Are you like I realized, but I feel i'd be great at it, do you. Yeah, I'm just going my gut here.

I think you know what we need to do. I think this would be a fun You know how the management's always like you guys should make TikTok to her her right, and we're just so busy we've never gotten around to it. I think a great video would just be uh, because you've been working out, man. I want to see. I want to see. Uh. I want to bring in a soup to a compound bow and just play can Ross pull it back? Okay, well, you gonna have to give me some time. I'm gonna have to decide whether or not I want to

show up as Darryl Dixon from The Walking Dead or Robin of Locksley. Okay, okay, all right, the two. Now. Now, I shoot even though I'm right handed, I shoot archery left handed. So you won't even have that as an excuse. Is my my bow is left handed? Well I'm I am left handed, so I know that's what I'm saying, so it should immediately I'm just weird for whatever reason. And uh, it's weird because I shoot. I shoot a firearm on the right, but I

shoot a bow left. I don't know what, stupid email? What about Hawkeye? Shut up? What not doing it? I'm not going as Hawkeye. I mean, he's pretty good with a bow, is I'm just saying, Yeah, who do you think would win? Hawkeye or Robin Hood? Which Robin Hood is? Is it? Kevin Costner? I i'n't even got to this woman's excuse. He'd just be a sheriff and a witch. So you just fix it. Ross is fixated on the way. I just want

everyone to know this, all right. I'm just saying that if you attach a claymore to a standard arrow, it will far exceed from a weight perspective. Plus it wouldn't pull right, but the weight would. It would seriously compromise the you know, the the the ability to fire that in a controlled banner because it would be so hes So now you're like Stephen Hawk and a physicist or something. I'm trying to think what my the zuwiki broadheads I used

way they got one hundred and twenty five grain. Just stand there, listen, just stand over there by my pungee pit. Okay, all right, well, nothing nothing that could happen here. Hey is that a rice Patty? Can I go? Look? Yeah? Yeah, all right, cool, cool, all right, So anyway, so this is all of that, let me explain, because people are like, what the hell did she say? All right, so you heard that, no idea Israel it's morally

wrong, YadA, YadA. We have no she continues, we have no idea whether they were told of the attack in advance, whether they simply rush to cover the breakthrough and followed fighters through, or whether they had an opportunity to prevent the crimes. And then she directly directly addresses the grenade quote. If a Hamas fighter who has giving me a ride on his on his motorbike during his operation handed me a grenade, I might not risk his anger by

handing it back. Do you think somebody who has whatever even their level of military training is, but is out there doing this. Do you think they're handing a murder weapon to a rando? Do you know what I'm saying? That's right, That's where I'm kind of questioning this. Also, there's another possibility she seems to have ignored. What if dude who admittedly is is is Palestinian, right because they're freelancing people out of Gaza, what if he's one

of the Palestinians like this is awesome. Wait till my friend see this on Facebook, because why else you posting the video? Is there a possibility that maybe they're like, this is amazing and they're kind of feeling bad ass in the same way that like, do you know you have seen reporters get embedded around military guys. They're like, oh, I'm gonna go do this, and then they come back and they think they're rambo and I'm like, oh, I'm sorry, did you go through uh did you go through jump school?

What happened? Like? Dam man, we were doing doing all this stuff. You were or you were other people were, which is fine, but you know, maybe he got really into it because he's like, this is amazing. We're you know, we're getting them this time. I don't know that's a possibility, but what a bad excuse. If the Hamas fighter gives you, you're not gonna hand it back? You know what? You know what to irritate the dude? Why not? You're the one with the

grenade? Now, Rule number one? With the grenade, what do you do? You attach it to somebody's body, You pull the pin, and then you wait a moment way too long, and then you just kind of hold up the pin or the now pulled pin so that they realize that they have a live grenade on them. They start frantically slapping and then they explode right one oh one. I'm sure that's actually how they teach it in the military. I have nothing to back that up, but yeah, so you

know, give me a damn break. That's the excuse. That's the dumbest story. We'll be back one six one FM Talk and ninety four to five w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is Cacoday and Carolina is morning News. All right, good morning, everybody. It is the Acoday Radio program. I know it's early, but you know that most of the stories when we do a morning show here, sir, so, most of the stories we cover are stories that technically happened prior to today.

I mean sometimes there's live breaking news or there's things that are coming for the majority, the vast majority. So I did not say that today is the anniversary of kristinoch I said that this thing happened where people were using like laser billboarding to to put up all sorts of you know, I hate the Jews stuff on the sides of buildings, at a university. That happens yesterday. That happened yesterday is from an anniversary perspective, and actually it was happening to

the day before yesterday. So just you know, there we go. I look, yeah, people got a lot going on. They're sitting there listening. I understand, and you know what, sir. And it's easy for me because I have a little handy. Every day I get an email and it has like here's all the here's the historical things that happened today in history, and here's here's the celebrity birthdays today. Right, so you know, I keep track generally through that, like let's see today, Let's just go

to the today. Sesame Street debuted back in nineteen sixty nine. The Edmund Fitzgerald sank in seventy five. Yesterday was not just the anniversary of kristanok. It was if you don't know what that is, and you're just like that's a weird word, maybe you should spend some time starts with a K have fun. In nineteen eighty nine, yesterday also was the anniversary of the opening of the Berlin Walls. All sorts of stuff happened. Today's is not as

many big things. Let's see here suffer Jet protest back in nineteen seventeen. Don't think any of us are around for that. And the windshow wipers invented. Who's got birthdays today? Let me look at this. Let's see Ellen Pompeo, Kieran and Shipkin or Shipka who is Oh that's the Buffy actress. Okay, Sindbad, All right, look at that. Rossett's Sindbad's birthday today. And Tommy Davidson and Tracy Morgan they go out have themselves a time.

Man, Miranda Lambert, see this, I have this whole thing, sir. So it's easy. We were watching a jingle all the way yesterday or the day before. Yeah, and sinbads in that. You don't realize how tall he is. He's bigger than Arnold. Oh he's a huge dude. You ever a person? No? Oh? Man. I went and saw him at a comedy club and it was like towering over him. I was like, that dude is huge. Yeah, all right, Well that's all

the birthdays stay there. So, but I just wanted to give you an idea by reading all of the birthdays that are today of note and uh and some of the historical details to prove the point that, in fact, you know, I generally try to prepare myself, not always. It is Friday, so all right, do do do? Oh? Wait, hold on, you know what, Ross, I missed. I missed probably the most important birthday today. And and by the way, sir, this also this

means I can correct myself. Uh and that's not okay, I apologize. It is also this is a very this is a very very old birthday. It also is Martin Luther's birthday, the theologian whose passion was nailing stuff to church stores. Obviously it's not alive anymore, but that was way back in the day. So there you go. All right, I feel like I'm missing one. It's not Ross, It's not your birthday today, right, No, No, it was a few months ago. Is it as isthday?

You know what? I know what it is due I think it was yesterday. The day before was the anniversary of the Montreal Screwjob, where Shawn Michael is, oh yeah, yeah, I took out Brett Hart and then Brett Hart ended up going to w CW. So that's probably what you're thinking about. Okay. I mean this stuff all which, by the way, was the total work. It was it though, I believe it. Well I did, Scott Hall believe so, so did Nash. Okay, all right, let's see, all right, you know what that wasn't on my

list. I just slipped back to my email from yesterday. They did not one mention of the screw job they had, the great Northeast blackout, kristanak obviously, the Berlin Wall thing. Nothing. I mean, we work in the industry of amateurs, Yeah, we really do. It's that's a fair

ROAs. Ummm yeah. All right, well good, I'm glad that we covered all the uh, all that stuff there, all right, phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four dude, dude, let me flip over to a couple other things here, Uh Beth would Monster truck enthusiast, Beth Wood is resigning. And here's the deal. This whole this

whole thing irritates me. And it's like, I find myself thinking about this and like the person, the person I'm most irritated with with this whole situation, with what happened that night and everything that's played out since then, arguably is not Beth Wood. As weird as that sounds, Oh, don't get

me wrong. You know everything that transpired that day where you know, which eventually ended up with a stayed owned vehicle, you know, parked on top of another vehicle, and then people just leaving the scene and watching that whole thing play out in a way that would never play out for you and I I'm irritated at Beth would, right, But I also told you like she wouldn't even really on the I don't hear people have beef about death would regardless

of political party. The people I'm most irritated at and most angry when I, you know, continue to think about this story and these updates is the all of the people who facilitated what happened that are in positions of power, continue to be unnamed, continue to find themselves with the ability to once again take one of their connected or but you know, political buddies or whatever and

create a second tier of justice on the fly. And that those people, those people, I want them to resign And one of them did, I guess, so just you know, a little grape vine behind the scenes stuff there. But and apparently a lot of other police officers are very happy. But there's a lot more people like who told officers who This is what they do, right, This is what this is what police do. They respond

to seeds. I don't know, I don't know how many times a week this happens, but they respond to scenes from time to time where there's clearly been a vehicle of you know, some sort of vehicle accident, ranging from fender bender to just the most horrific stuff you can think of school bus full of kids and the driver of the vehicle's not there, and so it's not their first rodeo, and of course they're going to assume that why would you

leave the scene. You could leave the scene for a variety of reasons, like you left the scene because you had to go get immediately, you had to go get a median medical attention, and it's just a matter of getting it. Or you injured yourself that you're not lucid and you kind of left the scene, but mostly just wandered into the woods. Sometimes we see those

stories and then only later police maybe find that driver. But another big reason, a very popular reason to leave the scene of an accident is because you're hammered, and so police have dealt with that, and so they have a process where they are incentivized to go and locate that person in a very timely manner because it's preservation of evidence, and you know, who knows if that

person is going to get behind the wheel of another vehicle. And so when they go and they scan that license plate and they're like, ah, that belongs to Beth Wood, right, And her license plate's even easier. You don't even have to scan it if you just know the coding of the license plates issued for Council of State, which is available online, and then you

go do that. Who prevented those officers from carrying out one of the most basic kinds of investigative things that they that they deal with that soon needs to be resigning. So Wood, who previously announced she was going to run for reelection, last week said she wasn't, and now, after now being hit with charges for misuse of a state vehicle, has said that she is. She's going to resign. She says that her presence is impacting the ability of the office to do work. Uh, you know, and it will be

official December fifteenth, she'll step down. So she's not resigning right away. It's gonna be in about a month, so a little early. And then obviously I'm not sure. I'm not sure exactly, so what do they do? Does I guess the governor would appoint he or I don't even know what

the process is there. But yeah, look that's fine. And you know what if if this is if she is genuine and this is her just realizing, Hey, I screwed up really bad and it's it's messing things up for people around me and the people are supposed to represent and and this is fine.

I'm fine with that, but I I want to know everyone else who facilitated this, like, because I understand, in a strange way, I understand her motivation for one to get the hell out of there, you know what I mean, you're a high profile person who just decided to see if you could stack cars downtown. I understand why you got out of there. I don't understand why a bunch of people who were in positions of power within

the city of Raleigh or wherever thought that they had to interject themselves. They don't have an obligation to Beth. Would they just did it out of political calculation, some sort of unspoken code among high profile people. You scratch my back, I'll scratch yours. And it's just all the worst stuff that has permeated government corruption for years and years and years, a tale as old as time, standard practice. Do you ever see the movie Lincoln, Russ You

see the movie Lincoln? Obviously you had at the very least you had heard the ol Ross's screen and a call right the part of that movie, and I remember it irritated people because they were not historically literate. Is when Lincoln's sitting around with his team that he's assembled to get this done, and they're figuring out how to bribe all of these lawmakers with like you're the new postmaster,

which I don't know maybe that worked then. I don't know if that would be an incentive to leave Congress now, but but you know that was that was standard protocol. Man. The whole thing is irritated. Oh wait, hold on here, hold on, hold on dam okay, Dave, I'm sorry, David. Did I miss your birthday? Are you famous? What's up? No? You missed the Marine Corps birthday? That's the day, do you under Oh? Oh okay, okay. That wasn't me attempting

to troll the entire Marine Corps for fifteen minutes. So yeah, I wouldn't do that, And if I could, I want to shout out to my son EFC Christians. All right, awesome, sir, awesome, sir. I do that every year just to see how long it takes some guy to call and scream oh rah at me. So it is a national past time. I didn't learn that, right, But I'm a proud Marine dad. So oh third yea, hey, look you're in, he's in. You're in as a family. That's why they make the bumper stickers. Proud Marine

dad, proud Marine mom. So all right, well, thank you, sir. I appreciate it, thank you. Yeah, yeah, yeah. A couple of our regulars just rob emails during that ross like not taking the baits, screw you so well, David did, so there you go. Yeah. Is Marine Corps birthday, obviously, and it's easy to remember when it is because it's the day before Veterans Day. See. I thought you were going to say it was the what do you call the Medal of Honor

was first released twenty four years ago today? Oh wow, the video game. You should it's not what it was, yeah, it was it twenty four years wow? Yeah, do you feel old now? I feel there's some other thing I saw yesterday, and I'm just like, I'm gonna go shop for plots. I can't remember what it was. And it wasn't just your roof discussion like Ross has been staying. Ross has been super excit. Your roof is all good, good, go, yeah, it's good.

Okay, got all your gargoyles, you got you got roof rockets like the White House or you probably can't tell us, kiddy, I don't want to tell it. Come on, yeah, no, you know what it's like. Tell them. I never see these people like I have exactly thirty eight firearms in my house. I'm like, why are you posting that? Don't don't do that? All mind fell in a lake, that is what happened. I want to find this lake because look at that bad boy drained.

It's gonna be amazing. All right, So there you go, all right, six forty nine, hang on, all right, welcome back six fifty five PCODA radio programs. So I don't know, I don't care how you feel about Prime Time Dean Sanders, because look, the dude doesn't give a crap what he says. But I yes watching him melt down kind of kind of. This wasn't his biggest meltdown and just you know, try to shape

his own empire there at Colorado. Is very interesting to watch. He's the college football coach because his kid, he's got two kids playing for the team, and his kid is the you know, he's the captain, and at the very least as somebody who grew up here, Colorado's very interesting watching them get so much limelight because of you know, just that part of the country doesn't generally get picked up on. But he's doing it, and his kid, all of the kids on the team, because of all the high profile

national games, they're making bank on that image and likeness stuff. And so yesterday what was his problem was is that his kid is the stud quarterback parkser over the hell he wants on campus for as long as he wants, he doesn't do it. He doesn't and he's got you know, he's getting all these tickets and he doesn't care. He's not doing anything about it. So they booted his car, and uh, the Sanders is all outraged over that.

And the only reason I'm bringing it up is because his car is a half million dollar Rolls Royce and so the visual of a gray poupon car with an orange boot on. It is hilarious to me. I love it. The gray poupon car, is that? I think that's what it called. It is called, right, I'm not up on auto. No, I remember seeing on top Gear. Yeah it was the gray poopon car. Yeah. If I win the power Ball, I would buy that car, just the stuff. It full of gray poupon. Okay, I like, can

I take a ride in your gray poopon car? No, it's full of gray poupon? But you have to wait. Well, so you would every but not the driver's seats, so you be able to enjoy all of your great poopon. Oh I'm not driving it obviously, so you would have the driver, right, that's who would be wearing a suit that sounds messy with the gray poupon label on it. Right, Okay, I thought you just like a mustard color. And then the passenger seat. I'd be in the

back obviously, tons of gray poupon. I just hand it out. Yeah, be the Santa Claus of great poopod. Yeah, you're just throwing it at people. Of course, it's last jar, so they may think you're trying to assault them. Where is that you've thought you've thought about this a lot. You just have a whole list of stuff, lottery stuff like you know, demolish your friend's car. Yeah, and that in a list of

enemies. Yeah, you're gon. We're all familiar with that stuff. Probably been morning, everybody, and welcome back in and you're seven oh six here on the CaCO Day radio program. I want to apologize just on behalf of you know, somebody in I guess in the entertainment side of things in the media business, for whoever in the control center of NFL's Thursday night football operation didn't pull the plug on that broadcast. Holy how that was painful to watch

yesterday. I'm not singularly picking on the Panthers, and I'll read it as that. I mean they got I got all sorts of issues for a team who just, you know, put it all on the line obviously with that trade, hoping that young works out, and I think fundamentally is not a horrible player. But then I look at things like one offensive touchdown and it's what week ten. So there's that, and I don't know what the answer

is. Plus the whole weird thing that the Bears owned both draft picks on the on the field yesterday, so in a weird way, instead of them tanking out, they could still go in and try to beat Carolina and it really just kind of helps their position because Carolina is currently it's Arizona Carolina and

the Bears with the worst records. So, but it was painful and like you know, if you go look at the trending videos on Twitter, the most trending videos not normally what you see after a football game or it's a crazy good player or anything. It's a low light reel. But uh oh man, that was. That was a painful thing to watch. So but I've been there, man, I've had some vikings, gays, red watches. I'm like, why are they still showing this way other than they flipped

to Annie yet or whatever the famous flip was. Also, Beth Wood has announced that she's retired or she's going to retire, effective December fifteenth, following new charges of misuse of state vehicle, an announcement last week that even though she said she was going to run again, now she's not. And I guess in a way it brings an end, although the other court case part

has to play out to the saga. I'm not satisfied. I'm not even satisfied walking over the carcass of beth Wood, because, as I said, like she's her motivation and not get caught is at least something I understand.

Doesn't make it right, but I get that it's the people who who behind the scenes manipulated the whole investigation, like doing things by not like not letting officers go to talk to her that time, which would be a standard protocol because you want to get the hold of that person so that they do not have a chance to destroy evidence through bodily processes. And there is a certain a legal threshold for the time in which you have to get a sample.

And it looks it clearly looks like that was manipulated by somebody of higher up the food chain to not get officers around her before that that little timeline had elapsed. That's and those are the folks I want to know who they are. Those are the people should be out of a giant. Those are the people should be charged criminally. But alas this is what we get, it just got too much for them, holding on, holding on, and finally she had to throw in the towel in and I'm just it's so irritating.

Ty thanks for hanging on. Go right ahead. Yeah, I was just telling Ross that I was a public servant for fifteen years and one of the reasons I got out just recently was being vironment has changed so much. People officers can't do their jobs right now. There is going to be vindicted or vindictive because of their inability to do their work, or they're going to be held to a standard that they can't do. I was once on a call

where an individual was using an illegal substance he obviously saw. When the officer got unseen, he said, well, I can't arrest this individual because then he won't go get help. I mean he's sitting in a parked car, or I mean he's sitting in a car with the engine running, his foot on the gas and it's foot on the brake, and he can prove that he was driving. I don't, I don't. I don't get that.

Well, I don't understand that. If so do if you, if there are no consequences for that, I'm assuming this is like fentanyl or something like this situation. Okay, obviously you know the danger is is inherent there and that person does need help. Because of all the tragedy we've seen that being said, if you get away with it, where's your incentive to go get help? Like, oh my god, this is amazing. So that's exactly the point. I mean, we and these repeat offenders that we would run

into so often. I mean, you're just putting everybody else's life on the line. Our job has protecting everybody, not just the one person that's making the poor decisions. Well, and you see it, and you see it in cities big and small, not just Durham or any of the others.

But what happened to Robison County man Exactly this guy, this guy's charged for murder, and then while he's out awaiting his murder trial, charge for a felonious assault to rober I can remember, which still stays out of jail, and then when officers go to actually get them, they you know, fires shots and strikes them and runs one over with a car. So yeah, I think this is I think this is social engineering. That it's fine as

we developed this. I mean, whoever whoever sought this through is doing a great job. We've we've literally turned our backs on our local heroes because it's a pendulum swing. Look, I think that anyone who's who's honest about this. And I don't care whether they're on you know, if they're died in the blue twenty year police officers or you know, some criminal scumbag wants to do whatever he wants. I think anyone who's in the middle of all that

can probably look and go, all right, I am. I equally don't like this thing where we're not punishing criminals and we're telling officers they can't do anything, handicapping them and neutering them at the ability to protect public's public folks. And I can be equally outraged when I see an officer clearly abusing the constitutional rights of somebody, or you know, even worse like I made like that guy in Charles, the officer in Charleston who shot that dude in the

back. Like I think as a grown adult, I can go, you know, the truth lies somewhere in the middle. But we get these big pendulum swings that are driven by you know, media cycles, and it's not healthy for just trying to keep people safe. At saying point Katie tell Ross iprify love you guess look Ross is in a marine sir, Oh no, that's right, which is he's just armed like one all right, thanks s He does have the gun of Rambo. It's mounted on a turret on his

gray poopon car, not to be trifled with. So oh, everything's so dumb. Oh, I'm sorry, you know what. Hold on, I gotta go right on the feet of that. A very sad story. Didn't see this coming of the Goker websites, in this case Jezebel, which, holy crap, if you spend even a moment there, it's like if the angriest of angriest feminist the feminists in a lot of lesbian stuff too. Uh, we're also just in a really bad mood and angry all at the same

time. And then just typed out articles that website Jezebel has shut down apparently uh apparently, No we're making any money, which is strange in this environment. But sad to see it go. Anything in the Gawker family is very sad. And they were trying to sell it for like nothing and just assumed that and nobody would buy it too, So that's done. Yeah, that place is a trip. I can't tell you the stuff just for sheer insanity.

I can't tell you this the amount of times I've been on Jezebel, and I'm like, oh my gosh, really and most of it predated, they're really current, just insanity that's out there. But you know, this whole, this whole story, this is just play out of a story that began with, you know, an angry wrestler and a billionaire. Do you know the whole story of how the guy. I thought it was just like

hul Cogan got pissed because they showed his business or whatever. Yeah, some videos of Bubba the Love Sponge over hook it up with Hope and he was like, that doesn't work for me, brother, and he just suited him in New belivioon. Is that what he said? Yeah, it probably is what he said. So no, no to do. The whole thing is

way more interesting than I remember. I nerded out on this story because I just thought it was amazing, And you know, I would go to the Goker websites a few of them every day for during show prep because you know there'd be stuff up there. We'd get real insanity, dude. I'd go to kataku Io nine, Gizmoto. I haven't gone to these sites in probably over five years. Yeah, unless like clearly there's a link that somebody sent me, I'm not seeking it out, no, okay, So you got

to understand the timeline of this. Do you guys all know who Peter Teal is. I'm sure you do, because Teal got brought a lot more pub during the Trump administration because Teal was was you went and spoke at the convention too on behalf of Trump. And he also was given a position within the Trump administration that when uh, and they never recognize it because Teal is gay.

And then when Biden came in and Buddhajic got a position, all the media ran these articles saying that he was the first gay individual to serve within an appointed cabinet or advisory position, which wasn't true because literally the guy was just there so much disrespect. But what happened with Peter Teel is now you got to understand. You know, one of these Silicon Valley investor. He was in with PayPal and in fact really good him and Elon Musk, right,

and then eventually what else did he get? He also had a significant thing with Facebook, but the dude's got billions of dollars, right. So in two thousand and seven, Gawker, which was the main hub of this, just angry. They knew of his politics, and so they decided that they were going to screw with him, and they did. They went and they wrote an article outing Teal, who was not out. They went and wrote an article outing Teal who in the article in two thousands of Peter Teal

is totally gay people. And it's a total hit piece on it. And they did some follow up stuff. They even accused him of basically trying to force male subordins to and say it was really ugly. So what did Teal do? He ruminated, He pushed back. Initially, he threatened a couple of season desist. There was a little something there, but he just didn't have him. He didn't have him, and it was really hard to push that forward in a court in New York City or in San Francisco, California,

because all the political stuff. So he waited, and there was a book that came out of a lot later that talked about some of this, and Teal he really didn't talk about it, but then in subsequent interviews that yeah, I totally did that. So he sat there and he decided he was going to wait, and he got lawyers and some other folks to keep

an eye on everything that Gawker was publishing. And then if Teal looked at it and he thought that there was maybe some there there, he would have lawyers review it to see if this was the case that could bring Gawker down. And it took a long time, because that was two thousand and seven. In twenty twelve, the whole Cogan stuff was published, right, and Hogan freaked out all of that. Well Teal, who had been sitting there and trying to identify, all right, so what's the case that's going to

do it? He then he picked up the phone. He called Hok Hogan. He's like, bro, you want to I got billions and billions of dollars they did this thing to you. My lawyers think that we can really stick it to him. How about I pay for this whole thing? And I'm assuming Hogan's like, yeah, brother, let's do it. And that's what happened. And then people flipped out there's billionaire attacking these poor media people

and Gawker was nothing but bullying people. Right, if you're going to engage in that sort of media endeavor, then you know people are going to come back, and maybe you shouldn't screw with for a non important story, some guy who's got billions of dollars because you're mad that he didn't vote how you wanted him to. And he wasn't even activist about it. He wasn't really out about it. It wasn't out about anything. It was a private dude.

And Teal paid for it. He got lawyers, he did. He did all of that just to destroy Gker because they wrote an article in two thousand and seven about him being gay. You want to talk about fu money, right, can you imagine how calculated do you have to be? I've always said, like if I won the power Ball and I was like a great footpad car, we got ridiculous. No, I would be so lightful. I would do stuff like That's why God works this way. He knows

I shouldn't have that money. Right, Like, if somebody was annoying to me and just completely insufferable and an a hole on social media or just a jerk to me, I would I would find out where they live. I would buy the house next to them. I would set up the biggest sound system you ever found, and I would play the most annoying music twenty four to seven, And then like if they're like, hey, there's a noise ordinance, and then they give me tickets, I would pay the tickets and

I wouldn't care. And if they're like, I can't take this anymore, I'm gonna move, I would find out where they would move. I would buy that house as well. You're saying, well, how would that work? No, you buy two houses. You let them know. This is gonna escalate, right, You have both sides, because if you go up to a random house and you're like, hey, I will give you fifteen million dollars, not fifteen not five fifty million for your house, odds are

that person's gonna take the money. I Am then gonna set up my sound system and you are going to hate your life. I would do this repeatedly. It would escalate in all different areas. Yeah, so that God is like, dude, you shouldn't. You're never gonna have that money because you'd be if that person wouldn't sell you the house, Like, nah, all my generations, I'm gonna turn down the money. Then you buy the house on the other side of them, and you do it to them. You

let people know that nothing stand in your right. You just build up the entire block. You're all gonna pay. That's yeah, that's wild if if you didn't know the background, and the whole thing is wild man. And it created this little debate where they're like, uh, you know this is a billionaire going after a journalistic outlet. Well yeah, but one that was raking in hundreds of millions, right, you know you're not You're not some

guy with a newsletter, So yeah, that is. But also if you're not doing anything, I guess would be there, you know, their journalistic excuse. If you're not doing anything, then you shouldn't mind this reporting on stuff. And they do it every day. And Teo was not in the government at that time. He's just he's a dude doing business in Silicon Valley.

He's a high profile guys. So fine if you think he got a story and you want to report on it, like you know where there's like maybe there's some some criminal you found, but that's not what Goker was doing. This Like this dude's super gay and he doesn't want you to know, oh because you know he doesn't give money to these progressive organizations. Well that guy's got I think at that time he had three billion dollars he had just cashed out of PayPal. That guy's got time on his hands and cash.

Their websites were so slimy and so shady. Oh it was so bad. Oh yeah, absolutely yeah. And he found his test case and it just happened to be Hogan. So it just raises the weirdness level. But he'd ha done it if it was somebody else, if his lawyers thought this was the case to get him. So yeah, that whole thing was just hilarious.

Man. All right, it is seven to twenty three. Lots more to get to and Pete Calender joins us at to eight oh five and yes, coming up Victimhood Insane levels of it next seven thirty five Cacoday Radio program You Do Hey. As I mentioned on the show yesterday, there were some rumors by rumors, I mean literally police trying to figure out how they're going to staff it ahead of some of the very same Nitwitz who decided to shut down the Durham Freeway to come try to do it to the city of Raleigh,

and they did kind of. They didn't post up on the highway. I think that was the concern that they'd get on up on Capitol or something or you know, but there's only really two good ways into the into the city there, and if you jam Capital up, obviously that's going to be a problem, or you know, headed south out of there too. But instead it wasn't just some similar protesters. Literally the idiots, the handful of

idiots who were actually arrested. They apparently showed up and decided that they were going to block Fayetteville Street, which, you know, considering what the soft on crime policies and Raleigh have done to people wanting to access Fayeteville Street to do business there, probably wasn't as impactful. But that's another story. So the grally, which they say contained, I don't know, you know, I always hate when they're estimating numbers because I don't believe the journalists if they

agree with them, and I definitely don't believe organizers. But they're saying about two hundred decided to take over Fayetteville Street at Martin Street. Okay, so that's I was you right there by the old Capital and hoot and holler and block things for about an hour. They didn't they can get cuffed out of there, which you know, you're still blocking traffic. It may not be

as thorough an artery. And I would also say that this actually bodes well for what I've recommended the parade people do, because now it is insanely apparent that if you want to just go do your own thing with a couple hundred of your friends and you know, just take over Fayetteville Street, you can just do it. They'll let you. So, you know, for you Christmas parade folks there, you go do whatever you want. Screw them, city doesn't care. And for the Veterans Day, well, we've already said,

let's hit it, like Omaha, beach Man. What are they gonna do? Because they didn't do anything to these idiots, and they the group says that let's see the protesters, let's see, started blocking traffic for about an hour of chanting slogans. This is what I love, Tommy Ross, did you see this line in the story? You ready, So the protester, this is from WRL. The protesters filled Fayetteville Street, blocking traffic for an hour and chanting slogans like Biden, Biden stopped the slaughter, shut it

down. And then the reporter this is not a quote, this is the reporter wrote this in here. So this is the reporter's take on what they think is happening. Quote, cars honked in support as they passed by. Did they you think that's why people might have been honking when they were attempting to access Fayetteville Street or use Martin Street to get the hell out of downtown head headed eastward? Or I look and everybody, maybe you have people have

different, different reasons for honking. Maybe some did right and they're like whoo. But I think it's pretty disingenuous to imply that the car honking that you may have heard while people are obstructing what is a pretty busy roadway was a honks of support. Reminds me of my my drinking days before I got sober, the time that I, yeah, ran naked down five forty. I had so much support. Dude, were they all they're all honking? I

was, yeah, let's go, we're going. Yeah. Well it was at school getting out, so it was a line of brushes there, and I think that was weird. But we're streaking the squad down to the gymnasium. Let's go. Oh you're a up boy blue Yeah, So you think, okay, all right? I cause I thought that. I thought sometimes and maybe it's just me. Sometimes I use my horn for when I'm not happy. Really yeah, yeah, sometimes, yeah, I use it. I use it when I'm not happy. I guess I have used it.

It's to show support at one point. Sometime times I use it to scare children. That's fun when I'm horny, obviously, right, because of course, yeah, that's why I use the horn. It's got really weird. No, But when I'm like sitting there and I'm like, wait, wait, hold on, hold on, that got weird and you just streaked the bus line on five. Hey, man, I have a disease. That's now you're now you're Kyle's father. Okay, all right, drink South America.

Now you're sitting there at a at traffic light and you're trying to go to work or trying to go home or whatever. In the car in front of you, you know, is on their phone and not paying attention, and the light turns for never happened. And what do you do? Right? You honk your horn in support of them, like yeah, like woo said that text, Yeah you like that post. Shut up reporter. The

cars halked in support as they passed by. Shut up again. Maybe something did, Maybe something didn't but just to write it so uniformly, it's just dumb man ah, but we called it. Oh look at this, sorry it is also U the day before Veterans Day, that is uh, also the the Marine Corps birthday. And then I did the thing where I just pretend that I didn't know that, and I read celebrity birthdays to see how

long marinal call and for a Marinal call it correct me. We went a while this year, although some of the dudes who've corrected the past and emails saying that they're not playing my dumb game. So but yeah, Marine Corps Birthday and then Veterans Day tomorrow and h so we're talking about that a little earlier. Yeah, maybe maybe in celebration a bunch of Marines can uh take Fayettville Street again. They won't do anything to you, and apparently everyone will

honk and support, you know, at least in that instance. I would feel like maybe people are honking in support, but that's just me. Uh, mister Bayfield, what's going on, sir? Yes, sir, I'd like to give full credit to the Marine Security Guard Embassy or Marines that celebrate every year, not celebrate, but they gathered the Marine Security guards and signe and I was at tounsw where the last two Marine security guards were keelled and

the best I know, that's the last two embassy guards in Vietnam. Judd and McMahon paid dolltament price and I it's that's all I got to. Today's this is But this is why we have this day of remembrance. And it's not for in recognition, right, this is this is Veterans Day. Obviously there's a Memorial Day, but it's not just for mattress sales. It's for individuals, whether they serve like yourself, who did serve in the military, even those who didn't, who recognize, you know, it's probably a good

thing. We've had the military a few times in history. If you want to check things out. So I'm with you, sir, absolutely, sir. I bet you they're smoking cigars the Marines. I know because I used to have to set up the Marine Corps mall and cigars were very important in the ceremony. And now they say you can't even have mental Uh it's unreal. Uh the Marine regards, I don't know, but uh, when when I was in that was the ceremony with cigars and it was all uh at

hand and uh, yeah, everything's problematic. So everything's probably I was the first one to get to their bodies. And uh, they, like I said, paid the ultimate price. Anybody can check it out. It's Judd and nickmahon and they have a marine organization that took care of their families and they were embassy guards and the top officer is at that. Every year I've been to one burial and uh that's all I've ever been to. But uh

that I got to him first. All right, Look, I appreciate you calling and sharing your story this morning, mister Mayfield, and uh, you know, have a good weekend and do what you gotta do to honor those you served with. Okay, I've already gave out a big era at this morning. And there's one of the marine that works here at the land and Wilson and when I see him, long to see how loud we can get.

All right, well, good, and then also let me know if you scare the crap out of some of the other residents, so that would amuse me. All right, you and take care of yourself. I will really and I appreciate the call. And yeah, man, did you sit around listening to the story. I actually know a marine embassy guard man, and I was fascinated by that gig because the only time you ever really see him doing anything is when they're like Chase and Jason Bourne. But it's actually

it's really intricate to the accept that the different stuff they were doing. But that is a that's another story for another segment. Alrighty, good morning everybody, and happy Friday. He is, Well, it ate the midsummer weather we've had. We're actually going to get into a Polish weather. We'll talk about that a little later with Ken Moon from the Weather Channel, and we'll

get back to our insane video we were chatting about today. But before we do all that, a little weekly recap with our radio buddy to the South. And you can hear him clearly stalling in the world of radio because the software I just had to reload it. Okay, there we go, Pete Calendar. How you doing, man, Hey, I'm doing all right. How are you well? You know how that is when you're literally mid sentence and you're like trying to clear but it's not working. But so now you're

now you're troubleshooting while you're trying to continue thinking about what you're saying. Uh, you know, yeah, that's that's good times there. Man. I'm really glad that we're chatting with you because this is going to increase my sample size because I am really concerned this morning that I'm missing out. Okay, you and I both work in the world of media, right uh, journalistic outlets. Obviously you guys have a news department right there. Okay, all

right, good? Good? Do we get grenades? I'm not do we get okay, because I don't have any, and maybe I don't necessarily just need a grenade. I'll take I'll take a clay more. That would be fine, do you guys? Yeah? Yeah, orientation yeah, yeah, it's standard issue. They give you the the recording device. I mean back in the day it used to be the you know Morant's tape recorder, you know, the old say oh yeah, yeah, I still we would still have one. It works. Yeah, that's good stuff. Nice yeah.

Yeah. And then we moved on to the what the mini disc players? And they remember those things you have like a CD but really small and protected case. And I have a zoom the zoom yeah, little zoom, yeah, whole thing. Yeah, that's great. Yeah, Now it's the zooms and the digital stuff and yeah, so with those throughout the years, you would always get the hand grenade as well, and and yeah, and it was and you would want to get a new one every year obviously, whether

you used it or not. So right, I point this out because, and let me get slightly serious on this, I have found trying to digest and process information in what's going on over in Israel is it's not just the

fire hose analogy. It's it's intentionally frustrating. Right, There's so much stuff that is clearly put out there that is one thousand percent not true, but it's so much work to really get to the bottom of it because people have figured out how to manipulate it. And that's not just people over in the

Middle East or the hamas actual accounts. There's a lot of very high profile, high engagement US folks who are doing whatever they want and saying whatever they want, which is fine that, but it severely complicates trying to get to the bottom of it. So when I saw that story about these embedded journalists before even before hand grenade stuff, obviously I took an interest in this.

When you consider they were on a ride along for a you know, a big old massacre, and you try to parse that with times that we've seen journalists who go and get like they go get an interview with some desk spot that the US military's hunting, and but they're able to get in there and do a sit down interview with them, and people get frustrated with that, going you have an obligation to tell the military where you did the interview,

and they'll push back and say, well, then we'd never get another interview, and the the importance of this outweighs those concerns, and I'm fine with that debate. This is different, though, And obviously Israel then responded pretty aggressively by going, ah, you're on team Hamas, We're looking for you. And then everyone freaked out. And then this video emerged of purportedly what

was one of these journalists who are not US based journalists. These are stringers that are hired locally, who live in the area, and that's obviously advantageous and you know, uh and clearly, judging by some photos, have pre

existing relationships with some of the Hamas leadership. And this video is of what appears to be one of the journalists on the back of a motorbike holding a grid aide and it's not contextualized in any way, shape or form, like he's told me he forced me to hold this and if not, it's under penalty. There's none of that. And then other outlets came in and said, no, it's not true, and it's are the famous words on Twitter.

It's already been debunked, and then nobody will explain how it's been debunked. And that one on that went on, and I was reinvigorated when I saw Washington Post Lady Megan mccardill way in, did you see the dumbest Did

you see this? Okay? All right, yeah, So for those of you who don't know, this is a Washington Post reporter explaining why a reporter might be holding a grenade in the middle of a genocidal slaughter and quote, if a Hammas fighter who is giving me a ride on his on his operation handed me a grenade, I might not risk his anger by handing it back. Or And this is my math. I look at him posting this, this video on his Facebook and all of that, and I'm like or or,

and the picture of him literally hugging one of the Hamas dudes. Perhaps he was like this is awesome, right, he's right, yeah, Like that could be one possible explanation. Yeah yeah, And I'm like, we're not allowed to say, So what do you think is more possible? He's into this because he has, you know, he has shared interest in alliance

with the Palestinian people because he's Palestinian. Right, it's not a judgment call him what he thinks of Hamas, but rather there is that inherent he's Palestinian. He's obviously he's got some thoughts. And this is Israel, which is a sworn enemy. And you know, even when you pull people in Gaza, what do you think of Hamas? And they're like fifty to fifty on leadership. If you ask them the other question about what do you think about

killing all the Jews? And they're like seventy percent or like yeah, let's do it. Then now you're just having leadership debates, right, you're not even right, So what do you think is more likely that? Or they forced you to hold a grenade because they gave you a weapon. They gave you a weapon is what they did, which makes no sense. Well, here the other thing It is also possible that he's holding the grenade in case

he does get killed. If you know, they encounter Israeli defense forces and he gets killed, then the grenade goes off and then the story becomes Israel killed a journalist, roll him up an airstrike as you know, any kind of explosion, Like everything is being conveyed for propaganda purposes. Right, this guy hitched a ride, whether he knew what was in store or not.

Right, he hits it pretty quick though, Right, Well, if you don't know what's on the day's schedule, I think after the first door kick, murder, rape, you probably have a good idea what's going on. Right, And his initial remember his the first tweet. And this is a photo journalist. He's a photographer, right, and and he's been contracted with you know, the Associated Press. He's done, you know, his stuff has been on CNN and New York Times, I believe. And this is

the one guy four of them that we know of. They sold to Reuters and stuff. And you know, it's also important to point out, you know, not for nothing that the Associated Press literally shared office space with Hamas. And we found out why we found out about it because AP took huge issue with Israelis, the Israeli military targeting that facility, going, I can't you know that our officers are in this in Israel's right, well also Hamas's are, so maybe you should not be in that building, you know,

right, But we all know why. Operationally Hamas locates their offices with other types of targets like the ap like the schools and the mosques. And there's the interrogation video that Israel released, i think yesterday of one of the captured October seventh terrorists who explained how they have all of these schools and church or mosques and hospitals wired with pressure plates and such, but also with detonation switches

that Hamas control. So if the Israelis don't detonate the pressure plates to blow up the school, then Hamas will do it themselves. And then they can go on and say, look at this, there was an explosion at the school. This was an Israeli air strike. That's the propaganda war that they're engaging in. And if you don't understand this by now, you are willfully ignorant to this tactic. And there really isn't any excuse for it anymore. No, and let me just add one other thing too that I think is

important. If you watch as the thought process emerges more clearly of by Hamas leadership, generally because they're given interviews on this stuff from their nice place and cutter in London, you realize that the brain trust there at Hamas thought that if we do something and it is so grandiose, so over the top, so much happens that immediately the Arab world will rise up and and we will be able to this is how we decimate Israel. And that seems to be

a miscalculation, although who knows, there's still time. And so if you're this reporter and you're sympathetic in any way, shape or form, and you hate you know you hate Israel as well. Once you understand the nature of this, and perhaps even these guys talking about, hey, we're doing this

and we're making this big. We want to make a splash so everyone comes over and fights Israel, you may be inspired by that thought process if it aligns with some of your ideology, Like you you know you're you're rooting it on. I chalk it up to like reporters that I've known, reporters who went over and embedded during I Raq Afghanistan who couldn't throw a baseball and then came back like they just got out of seal school because they just right and

but they but they didn't. They still don't have the skills or anything. But they got the jargon down and they just think they're rambo badasses because of it. And uh, you know, it's a it's kind of a macho thing. And I bet that dude riding around with a bunch of what you know, he've used his freedom fighters, right, he probably that's why he posted the thing to his damn Facebook. Right, And remember what he said when he posted the initial photo of the tank burning And what did he where

did he describe himself to be at that time? He said he was in uh what a settler controlled gaza or something. Well, he was actually in Israel, a good you know, good several kilometers inside of Israel at the time. So a lot of this, a lot of the street signs are gone, so I mean it's very that's possible. Yeah. Well, and so here's the thing like for and this is like there there is there is a debate right in journalism as to when you are morally compelled to act and

stop observing. You know, if you are there to observe things, but you are also say part of you get tipped off. Hey, wy, don't you come with us? And now you become part of the story. You are now more than just an observer. Right. And if you have the ability to say innocent lives by reporting something not for a not for publication, but to authorities, then I would think that humanity would compel you to do so. But apparently not for any of these for journals. Right.

Well, and here's here's what they And that's kind of what I was talking about with the you know, interviewing the deskpot stuff argument they make. So if this guy said, look, I forget the grenade, why and somebody goes, well, why did when you saw that they were slaughtering people, why didn't you, I don't know, uh, try to contact somebody.

If they came back with these guys had me under, I couldn't. I couldn't use the bathroom without one of them watching me then, and you know, if I'd have tried anything, they'd just killed me and it wouldn't have worked. So I thought it was like, make that, make that fundamental argument and let people parse it. They're not even doing that, but I

yeah, I'm sorry, go ahead. Yeah. And the other and the last thing is like again like the media outlets, Uh, they don't have any credibility on their denials because what the New York Times just they went ahead and re hired if I remember correctly, Yeah, the the you know, the the Gods a reporter guy who was like popping off with like literally pro Adolph Hitler tweets, and they did they resign, They brought him back on board. Mm hmmm hm. So closer to home, but in the same

vein of this. Uh, yesterday it was Raleigh's turn in the barrel following the shutdown of the Durham Freeway last week. Uh, the same, the very same groups, and in fact that some of the very same people who actually were charged with some stuff in Durham. But I will see if it

sticks around and isn't just thrown out took to the streets of Raleigh. Initially, I had been talking to some law enforcement sources and they they were concerned that they might try to shut down like the main arteries in and out, but instead they gathered at Fayetteville Street and Martin which and Raleigh is the tea there in front of the old Capitol. But it's just still still busy thoroughfare. That's how people get eastward out of out of downtown, and Fayetteville is

obviously the main vein of commerce there. And they gathered, they were there for a while. The police did not remove them. And the way that Ril wrote this story up is that, uh, I want to quote this because it's just so stupid. Uh. The protesters filled Fayeteville Street, blocking traffic for an hour and chanting slogans like Biden. Biden stopped the slaughter.

Cars driving by honked and support, did they? Yeah? That was she knows the intent of every driver who drove, Well, I'm sorry, do you use that's only I only use my horn for support, exactly absolutely, which actually its yeah, no, it raises this this this pee peeve of mine. It's not even a pete. This is it's an outrage. What is it? It's an outrage, which is that at this point we don't

have different types of corn honk sounds. You know, why, why in this stage of our development do we not have two different corn sounds, one for anger and one for hey, thanks or goodbye or like a nice kind of Hey, come on into this parking thing, you know whatever. You can't you can't because you got no, because you didn't. You can need more than two. This is like when they said that there's a third gender and now there's seventy something or unloaded, right, just like a little happy

you know, no, no, no, I got that. Yeah, road runners good, standard horns bad. But there's also but there's other things you need to convey. Like let's say that you're trying to honk it, you know, some person you find attractive, Well, I'm going to need a huggy bear pimp, you know, uh or negative. Let's say let's say you're gonna you're going out and you're gonna go to a party out in the country. You got to have the general lee horn, right. That

probably triggers some people. But yeah, yeah, I think spin spins out of control. But uh now it's your turn, right I heard it's you got you guys this turd down there with some of these protesters. Yeah, yeah, apparently apparently we got to notice that local Muslim activist guy who actually has been on our radio station a lot for the last twenty five years.

He's organizing some sort of a protest against us, and he's gonna, uh, he's gonna bring some people down in front of the radio station this afternoon and he's going to protest. And what I found kind of hysterical was in his statement Hang on a second, I have it in front of me. It says, we will demonstrate outside of WBT radio studios to present our own narrative and speak our truth. Like, oh, man, if only there

was a way to see a root full of mics or something. Yeah, yeah, right, like on a radio station that does local talk for fourteen hours of freaking day and takes phone calls. If only there was a way to get your story out there, Oh my goodness. Yeah, but you might do something like if they if he says something and you're like, I don't believe that to be true, you might say, hey, you know, here's I know what you said, but here's what I think. Tell

you know, like, you can't control it that way. Plus I'll bet he would come in there, but you won't hold his grenade. Yeah, yeah, make you make your producer do it or what I don't know. I don't even I would have had him on. I've known this guy for for twenty years and I would I would have him on if he wanted to

come on. But now, no, now that what you're trying to do is intimidate me and to stop to stop talking because they're you know, and everything is, oh, you're you're a uh anti Palestinian, your anti Muslim propaganda calling us terrorist supporters, like okay, I'm not aware of anybody that's done any of that. But and that's why it's like, Okay, there's no more good faith ability. We're gonna have to leave it there. But I'm gonna be so curious next week to hear how that went. Plus I'll

read it, so yeah, but we'll see. All right, my man, I'll let you get back to what is a fun day in store for you, and we'll chat soon. Okay, all right, buddy, So you have a good weekend. Are there? You go? Pete callender object of iyre. All right, we'll be back. Hang on
