Hey, you know, I got an email from our boss ross, from the big Boss yesterday with hiccup tips, and that was one of like, if I, in fact, I have probably fifty potential remedies if in fact hiccups break up, break out again, and I'm gonna be I'm gonna be queasy if I ingest most of this and probably inebriated with some of your suggestions if I tried them all at once. So you know, stay tuned. We'll see if that's a thing today. But for now, we got to
get to uh. We got a lot of international stuff, a lot of international stuff, and what's going on over in Ukraine. I know that it gets like it's easy to be distracted, and look at the feral college students out there quickly running out of time as a traditional calendar year is grinding to a halt, commencements that they're disrupting or happening. It's easy to look over there. But things are kind of not good over in the old Eastern European
front. Obviously you have Russia Ukraine. You have an attempted assassination yesterday. Repeat that, you have an attempted assassination yesterday of and I think people would do well to fully understand an individual before they before they throw in the Slovakian prime minister what is his name, Robert Faiko Fico. I don't even know how to pronounce it was they attempted to assassinate him yesterday. Although I have to just throw this in here as a caveat, that is the story,
That is the narrative. I have no reason to doubt it, by the way, and they have identified a dude who seems seems to have been or
or appears to have been a part of this. But and you know, they say, well, the Slovakian prime minister is a is a hard hard line conservative right winger, and the person who that they're saying try to kill him is, as you know, a leftist, a progressive, and like, all of these things may be true, but what you have to understand that dude hates us and you the prime minister there like that's his whole thing.
His whole thing is f America. Yay, Putin, Okay, I know I know there's some of you are like sitting here like why you why you wading into this? What's the you know, what's the problem with put Look, I don't care how you want to feel about Ukraine, Russia. You know the levels of corruption that that exists there are our own Secretary of States strumming a guitar one day in a wide open bar in the middle of the capital city and then supporting the suspension of elections, Like I got it.
It's it's all a mess. But Slovakian Prime minister dude not saying he should get shot. But he's also not your buddy. Everything's a little different over there and not and I got maybe just more of an open way to compare to what we see here in the United States. But hey, man, it's a wild story because he he was not. He told the UN
with their mass mass immigration stuff, He's like not. It was like Poland, Slovakia, Slovenia and a couple others and then they just they also last week the Slovakian Prime minister basically told them that he's not going to sign on to the global is it the Global Pandemic Initiative or whatever they're calling it, but basically scary time. You know what would have made the pandemic a lot
easier to deal with, not individual countries doing stuff. Come on, man, remember how that was where one country do one thing, although to be fair, most countries kind of did the same thing, but you had a few outliers, whether it was travel, whether it was what they did with schools, whatever, it was. What a mess. What if you hand have just one group of unelected bureaucrats or elected but elected in some other part of the world that you have to control over and somehow you're seeding control to
them and you have no you have no oversight over them. They want to sign on to that. So he may literally have run a campaign talking about, uh, you know how much we suck, which you know that's your prerogative, but also on that point not inaccurate. Why would you seed control? And it is it is terrifying to me that that so many people so willingly signed on. But you've trained him, especially over in the European Union. Man, you've kind of trained him for the most part. Oh well,
because you're it's a very effective tool. Because if you're in a country, obviously there's going to be just like there is a spectrum of politics within the United States, in the European Union, there is a spectrum of politics, and there may be people who are in a position of power in a country that is where they are more progressive than their country, and they know that if they do something munilatterly, it's on them that likely will not bode
well for them in coming elections or their party or some other initiatives they want to do. But if that dandal will use hammered it down, hands are tied. So there's all sorts of all sorts of intrigued there. Man. There's been a couple stories that are like straight out of like action movies. One that the assassination attempt. But did you see the video of the uh the criminal leader who goes by I'm this is literally the boss of a criminal
empire in France's name. Okay, we'll be very clear here. I did not make this up. This is what he went with. Before I tell you what it is real quick. I think you and I and everybody else who spent five minutes digesting any sort of blockbuster action flick knows it's only as good as the villain, right Ross, You would agree with that. What would die Hard have been with John McClain, But without your boy from Hogwarts? It wouldn't be the same movie, would it. Hans Gruber, No,
Hans Kruber die hards dish. I firmly believe that. So anyway over in France, this dude he goes by Mohammed the Fly, all right, whatever that is. But he was being transported and they went all like super dialsh action movie, waited for the transport vehicle to get to a toll road, which is another reason why tolls are terrible, right, because you've got to slow down so that you can be attacked. I think that's a pretty good reason they should use that when we're talking. In fact, we have
a little toll thing we're going to talk about here locally. And then at that moment just ran the car right into the transport van, got out operator style, and they ended up killing three security officers, wounding three others, but they got their boy, Mohammed the Fly, which obviously a name that strikes terror into the hearts of many, but the many are French, so
it's probably not difficult. All right, six seventeen. I'll give you a rundown to some other stuff, and we're gonna be busy on the guests front today. I'll explain next on the CaCO Day radio program. Casey oh much, that's what? Oh? Look, at that. You need to hear that. Yeah, my little little mic cover thing. Finally, I have to get a new one of those. I think you're supposed to replace him every six months, and this one is how old is the show, Ross?
It's that old. Probably time for a new one of those. All right, I'll put in a trouble ticket. We'll see if we get one here in the next what is it, twenty twenty four? All right? Good? Ross was just surprising me on the goings on of the French overseas colony of New Caledonia. Yeah, I didn't think that was the thing I was gonna have to think of this morning, either triggered by so you. So I was doing a story about the French criminal mastermind, the Fly,
but France's been a busy boy, man. I didn't realize. I guess I didn't realize New Caledonia was under French purview. But it is. If you don't know, New Caledonia is sits in the Coral Sea, named after Ross's favorite to zombie show. I believe directly between New Zealand and Papua New Guinea and then Fiji and so basically in Australia. So if you literally drew a line between those four places out in the middle of the ocean. That's
that's where that is. They banned TikTok, but it's not for the Chinese spy stuff. It's for something else. Do we know specific? Do we know what happened with the uh there was some sort of officer involved shooting, and they banned TikTok because of what the way people reacting to it or rioting. I guess there was a riot, like four people are dead. Four people are dead. They had a riot and and it was propelled so quick.
I wonder how many people on New Caledonia here we go, Well, quick facts, and one of none of the quick facts here are how many people live there. New Caledonian is a French territory comprising dozens of islands, although it's got the big big one, I mean, it has pretty sizable all right. Well that's super helpful, thank you Google Maps. Well anyway, so, yeah, so we did get a TikTok banning, but not for the reasons you think. And I don't even know if it's permanent.
So I'm just kind of digging into that, all right. Let me get to just a couple things here, if I could. So, I don't know what the hell happened yesterday. I mean, I know what happened, but I don't know. I don't know if I should take it as what
is going to be happening in my foreseeable future. I'm sure many of you are aware that there is a vicious rumor that Biden is not going to be the nominee whatever I And frankly, it sounds like they can do that with the way, you know, because it's a party nomination process, and if you remember, the Democrats vastly overhauled their own party apparatus years ago because I guess maybe it was too hard to control who was your nominee, and they
created their super delegates, which is literally a cast system for for presidential nomination purposes, Like you recreated a cast, like you couldn't get back to subjugation fast enough, and so you have these super delegates, and basically it's House of Lord's House of Commons, and one's got a whole hell of a lot
more power than the other. So that is why people are throwing this out there, Oh, Michelle Obama or Gavin Newso or maybe not him anymore, but somebody because all of a sudden, Joe Biden, he went to the doctor and they think he uh, they think he might have tonights or something.
It'll be it'll be something completely trolling in its nature. But if none of those things come to pass, and then I'm in this, at least one of the debates, yes I'm talking debates here would proceed the what is I'm sure going to be a very peaceful gathering in Chicago for their nomination stuff. We would see Joe Biden and Donald Trump do a debate. And my mind's run a while, man like, I don't know I'm gonna go detailed. I'm slow rolling it here a little because I want to set up the
timeline because it's just so weird. But this has been a question people have been wondering about for a while. So the Biden, the Biden folks, after Trump saying hey, let's get something on paper, they put a little snarky video out and there's gonna be a reference to Wednesdays, and that's because it's when the court's not on right. So this is Biden talking about literally the prosecution of his political opponent in a snide manner, in a challenge to
debate that's wild, right, that's like Putin. That's like Putin trash talking the dude, who who is the cat? They just had a cabinet member that was forced out who you know, probably was a warded you know, I don't give a gold watch in Russia. They go big man. Maybe maybe a penthouse staring out over the Black Sea or something for all his years of sirt. Yeah no, no, no, see those condos. Yeah, you're on the top floor, buddy. Like everything else. That was
just fun. Once they'll find a way to screw it up. But until then, enjoy the videos that all the teams put out now for their schedule releases. Yeah, some of you sent me Tennessee's they did. They really kind of kicked this off last year with one that went viral or two years
ago. I can't remember when their first one was, but it was just Man on the Street and they're asked to like show a logo of a team, you know, week three, we're playing this team, and then the idiots would just ask, hey, what do you know about that team? And the answer is nothing, And it made for very funny kind of that
Jay Leno bit they used to do. But some of them are going like they're like using AI to do stuff the Chargers did want and basically the whole thing was just toatrol the Chiefs and so like in it, they're taking shots at Taylor Swift Chiefs Aholic and if you remember, that's the dude. He's like one of the very recognizable Chiefs fans. I think he just what he was doing, robberies or bank robberies or something. And what's going on with
the kicker from the Chiefs is wild? Are you following this? So the Harrison Butker is dude, he is a believer, Okay. In fact, I think he went to Benedicteah, he went to Benedictine. No, he didn't get where if he went there, but regardless, guy's a Catholic. Got some thoughts. He gave a commencement speech. Oh it was Benedictine where he gave the speech. But I don't know if he went there, but I'm trying to determine. Well anyway, and during the speech he made it
known how he feels about issues through the lens of a Catholic. It is a private Catholic university. Given a speech to those students, and he said that he was in favor of the position, the current position of the Catholic Church. It's non controversial, and people lost their minds so much so that the City of Kansas City, the City of Kansas City sent a tweet out,
and let's just say it did not age well almost immediately. So the City of Kansas City sent out a tweet after this, you know, obviously they were wanting to Oh and specifically when I say the City of Kansas City, I mean the city of Kansas City, Missouri, Missouri, however you pronounce it, sent out a tweet and the tweet said, let me read it to you. Here just a reminder that Harrison Butker lives in the city
of Lee's Summit. So ha ha ha, see a little snark. Oh, evedn't live in Kansas City, lives over at Lee's Summit, not one of us, which was I don't know if you know this. The Chiefs are pretty popular on both sides of the river and the surrounding area, and this looked incredibly petty. And so what happened that tweet disappears. What happens after that, whoever, whether it's the same genius who tweeted that out or damage control whoever it was was fumbling with trying to get this apology out that
they literally wrote this. They wrote, we apologies for our previous tweet. It was shared in air. No, I think it was look, somebody had to write that. Somebody had to go, yeah, that looks good, click and he click click you guys do a I don't know they have a great check verified. I'm assuming they have access to the same features like
rostas and others who have the premium accounts. They had what sixty you said, sixty minutes to think on it right before you where you can alter tweet, like sixty minutes, right, So they had sixty minutes to think on this thing and didn't do anything, and then you know, everyone lost their damn minds as they should. You kind of people are saying they doxed him. You know, yes, and no, I don't know that necessarily. The city, especially a city where a lot of the very well the athletes
live, is really given away the house. But it was the intention of whoever wrote it to be like, no, it's not ugh, yeah, oh we can barely stand it. Yeah, we'll let him kick game a Super Bowl winning field goals, but yeah, yeah, he lives over there. The biggots incredibly dumb, and then to uh misspell it. And then what was even worse is they put it out. They didn't lock the replies, which is pretty unusual, but I thought, okay, well that's good.
Then they realized they obviously forgot to. Then they locked him, which I didn't know you could retroactively do, and then they took so much crap for that, they unlocked him again. It was the worst series of just social media pr that I've seen, but in a government, and that's saying something. Remember, I have to weigh that against the people who rolled out the Obamacare website. It was bad, But I do enjoy the debate, and I am enjoying a long way of saying, I'm enjoying some of the
videos, so be sure to check those out. I'm enjoying watching. You know, we got our own little You know, every team's got their storyline. The Panthers have their storyline. This looks good in the schedule, this doesn't. This is all this rival. The Vikings fans seem generally upbeat about
our schedule. Well, what's the bills? No, it's the Miami Dolphins are mad because the Bills get to play them at night, which I guess if you don't know, the reason for that is the Dolphins, if you've ever been to their stadium, if you play a day game there, half the stadium is in sun beating driving hot Florida, Southern Florida's sun. Yeah, and the Dolphins fans will be like, it doesn't make a difference. But then yeah, the Week two schedule comes out, It's Buffalo in Miami.
It's the first Thursday Amazon Prime game of the year, which is and night game, right, and Darren shambles. Then there is a conspiracy because this way the Bills don't have to play in the heat. Well, which one is it? I say, look, embrace it. This is the thing too. Did they build the stadium wanting that? I don't know. That stadium has been there a long time. That being said, teams embrace
it. There's a reason that whenever you know, whatever, a an open stadium, Northern team, right, if you play outside your Northern team, and there's been stadium discussions, that stadium discussion has happened about whether you need a roof or not. And there are there is a huge slice of fans who recognize the teams that are better equipped to play the be a good example of this that that is part of their identity. You want to come to
Lambeau in January, bring it right, Embrace that. I mean, that's part of the reason with the Bill's new studio the stadium, they're not putting they're not making a dome that yes, yes, yes, so if your Miami embrace it. But to your point, don't go, oh, now, that's not a thing, and then get really mad when you're thinking that's not a thing, can't be a thing. You sound a little whiney, cry baby, just my two cents. But you know that's that's the that's
the back and forth. That's the that's the part of sports I like right there right because there's a level of dishonesty and the conspiracy that goes along with it. But that's the fun stuff about sports because that's those are those other guys and you just know they'll do whatever they take. Not my team. My team's fine, my team's great, And go out there and it's you know, it's rudy wrapped in the eighty hockey US men's team and a flag
surrounding them like they can do no wrong. But those other guys, they are a bunch of criminals, and I'm cool with that, and I love that aspect of sports, which is frankly why I would be. I am one hundred percent fine with a lot of the coverage around Caitlin Clark. Deanna Tarassi, you probably know the name. I would say that to this point, she is probably the I would say she's probably the premier talent all time in the WNBA. Right. She definitely commands the respect of it, and
she has. She's been pretty consistent in the way that she's been talking about Clark, and she has taken a lot of grief for it, and I think unfairly when you look at what her counterparts are up to, and her thing is, look, yeah, she's awesome, no doubt she. But when she gets up here and plays her first w NBA game, you're going to realize that the jump from men's college to men's pro and women's college to women's pro are not the same, and the women there is a much much
bigger gap. And I believe she's accurate with that. And Caitlin Clark went and struggled in her first game, but that's not the person who's that's not who should have a problem with. She was spot on and people are being negative and it's like, no, this is the reality on the ground.
Okay. The other people tacking Clark are a bunch of the players, including you have players the other day that we're saying that you know, this is this is because she's white and and so we're going down this road and it's like, can't you just trash talk and then you know, do it on the court. I got no problem with you know, some player is a big time like the one, the one player for Las Vegas who was saying,
why does she get chartered flights before we do? There's a whole thing there where they're starting to do chartered versus just you know, going commercial. But like, but that one isn't necessarily race based. It's like, and there's an answer to it. There's just like you have no you have no idea how much money we just made is what the WNBA and their parent company
would want to say. So that's fine, but you have players that have come out and are saying, look, this is all about because she's white. I think that you're gonna see some really hard fouls put on her quite intentionally, and I'm sitting there and I'm looking at this stuff and it's like, all right, you realize this is like it feels Jackie Robinson. E. I know it'll irritate some people, but think about it. You ever
see the movie. I think it was just his number, right, I can't remember what his number was, but I came out the last ten years. It was a good movie, but it was He's there. The only thing people can talk about who don't want him to succeed is the color of his skin. And people are deliberately going out of their way to injure this dude. And I read the I can't remember. I read the biography of
Jackie Robinson when I was younger. It was one of those books that I read a few times as a kid, and I thought it was really good. And it goes into great detail there. You know, a little guys would sit around and figure out ways so they could you know, they could injure him weird sliding into unnecessarily sliding into first and stuff. And then even when they moved him around, it was a whole thing. I'm telling you,
you're getting little vibes of that. And if I'm picking up on that as some guy who's just kind of a passive viewer of this, I don't understand how you think this is good for you if you want to grow your program. But this is where we find ourselves in the world of sports analyses. And over on NFL Network, they did a takedown of Butcker, telling you, man, everything is absolutely wow. What is the chicks? Yeah, Jamie Ardahl calls out Harrison Butker for telling women to stay in the kitchen.
I watched that little part that everyone's upset with him. I didn't. I didn't hear that. I think I heard. I heard somebody explaining that if that is what a woman wants to do, and by stay in the kitchen mean be a homemaker, they want to use that term, then she shouldn't be judged for that. And uh, you know, God's a big fan of that, you know, the family and all like, there's nothing outside of what many many, many people believe. Even if they don't think
that's right for them, they don't have a beef. If somebody wants to be a homemaker, you got the NFL picking them out, you got other teams picking them out. That's why I think these videos are gonna go sideways real quick. But either way, and what's going on with the WNBA stuff, just shooting yourselves in the foot man, just don't get it. But you know, lots to be distracted by. Oh no, speaking of Ben Affleck, Jennifer Lopez getting divorced. Who saw that coming? Oh you just
it shows you you just never know. You think everything's gonna work out, man, oh man, all right, well I'm gonna grieve. Oh wait, hold on, Boston, Paul, you forgot to mention Tom Brady will be in the broadcast. Yeah, yeah, he gets to cut. He gets to do the Browns game. Welcome to Welcome to the team, buddy, go do the Browns game. They playing the Cowgirls, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, maybe we'll make fun of Stagic for that later. He didn't do nothing, but he'll be an innocent victim here.
Yeah, I did see that. I also saw Tom Brady is like, I can't believe I did that roast and they made jokes about my family, and I'm like, bro, the only there's only two things they can hack on you over. You're cheating and uh maybe her cheating. Right, that's it. What did you think was gonna happen on the roast. Do
you think there was gonna be football puns? I'm so confused. So if like he couldn't figure out what was coming in a roast, I'm I'll be very interest interested to hear him break down anything that's just not x'es and no's because you gotta fill time, got to come up with stuff. Can't have too many pregnant pauses. I myself have to fight the urge, mostly because
I'm staring in disbelief at something like how is that true? Anyway, let's get a break and I'll share one of those stories with you that had me staring in disbelief. We'll do it next. Hang on, this is the puzzle getting moved around. I don't know. It's all very technical. Ross takes care of it in the back. But what does it leave us? It leaves us with a slightly different interview schedule. So at eight oh five, Senator Ted Budd will be joining us. Normally we'd be chatting with Stephen
Kent and he's chatting with us now. Steven, thanks for doing the early thing. How you doing this morning? I'm doing well. Happy to wake up extra early for you. Cathie and because you were so accommodating. I'm not gonna do to you what I was gonna do to you, which I had been salivating for all week because I realized it would now it would allow me like twenty minutes to go do other stuff. I was just gonna be like, hey, here's Stephen Kent to tell you all about eurovisions, so
I don't have to know anything. And then I was just gonna walk away and walk away. Yeah, I don't under understand the starring Will Ferrell, and yes, this is what I understood. Yes, yes, what even is that? And who are who is the Irish demon person? And the what happened to the Jewish person? And like this whole set of circumstances and things unfolded that it's like when something really popular in soccer happens right where you're like, why is the rest of the world so excited? And and that.
So I'm not going to stick that stick that to you in the totality of explaining it. But the the Nickel version is it's like an American Idol, but the contestants are countries with their own contestants. Would that be fair? That is that is accurate? And I am looking at this Ireland contestant Bambi thug and yeah, I'm scared. I'm scared for Ireland. You had not heard Bambi thug, I would not watch video then if you're if you're scared now, I am an American. I do not seek out Eurovision.
What happened unfortunately but totally predictably when it is something that is across it's not just because, like you know, one of the things that I find interesting and I think that it it contributes to a lot of these stories about Hollywood that that we do is when you get the cam I shouldn't say you get the cameras, when you get the news opinion side away from most artists, right, musicians, actors, things like that, for the most part,
they can get along even though they they're the because it's about the craft. And like, for whatever reason, with Eurovision it becomes very you any, very nationalistic and like the whole thing without getting into it culminated in this insane Bambi person from Ireland who you know your own peril Google video and then them doctoring crowd noises when the Israeli performers like this twenty year old girl who is
not in charge of anything. I would point out other than singing is being booed so relentlessly in the arena because there's video that emerged and then you pair it with what it looked like there and even a judge who filmed a video saying because she's from Israel and YadA, YadA, YadA, I gave her a zero. I wouldn't give her any points showing that the whole process was like what a while, she's from Luxembourg, she's Luxembourgish and that's like the
fascinating little wrinkle there. You know, it's definitely not anti Semitism. Yeah, don't. Don't you see I did not imply that at all. I just was saying everybody was representing. It's just everything is crazy. So but we don't even have to go that far from home because Disney decided to ban her. Tinkerbells apar problem. Stop shooting yourself in the foot, dude, did you not see this? What did tinker Bell do? Now? It's not what tinker Bell has done. Now that got tinker Bell canceled. We
use the taker bell here on this show. It's very final. So we talked about this yesterday and they use the words. This is the thing I failed to understand. And as you as a writer, this is probably especially top of mind for you. You know, when a phrase might have been a useful phrase, but it's been so lambasted by your political opposition that when you use it it sounds cartoonish, right, you take us some examples. One of those is modern audience. Does anybody should anybody use for a modern
audience un ironically anymore? Or because I feel like that's one of those phrases, Yeah, I mean for a modern audience. Basically, it's just a way of saying that every one who came before you are luddites and cavemen. Nobody who says that in their articles should be taken seriously. So, uh, this is the statement Disney put out tinker Bell. Wait, do you wanna you wanna pond? You want to venture a guess as to why tinker
Bell is problematic? First, I guess, I guess because she like is pining after Peter Pan in a weird romantic way kind of That is that is the that's the secondary, that is the list. It can't be the outfit, it can't be the hair. It's couldn't it. I'm fast. Couldn't it couldn't it couldn't it? Let me read the it's a very it's a one paragraph statement. Ready. Tinker Bell unfortunately, has become a problematic image for our guests, specifically young girls, specifically in terms of the portrayal of
an unrealistic body image. Oh now, yeah, yeah, but wait, why tinker Bell, there's so many It's not the wings, who are physically fit. It's not the wings, it's not the two inch height. It's it's she's so little you can fit her in your pocket. Well, yeah, because she's Anarexi, because the men drove her there or whatever. The damn nary is so dumb, and so they're going to reinvent her because of
course. And then it goes on to say, as well as dependency of approval and or attention from Peter Pan has seen in previous incarnations of the character, we feel these traits are no longer representative, and we're in the process of redesigning an updated tinker Bell for modern audiences. Disney can't help themselves. Yes, well, I'll tell you. I think that an updated tinker Bell
would probably be wearing pajama pants. So keep the green dress pajama pants underneath and a couple of tattoos and problem solved or yoga if they're going to the Harris Teeter on Saturday mornings. But everybody's just yoga, like some sort of some sort of commy committee within Disney. I mean, I'm saying that there's basically some sort of approval board within Disney where they flag potentially problematic things.
This is this is a slippery slope if there was was ever one. Well, the slipperiest part of it, of course, And you pointed out, you have this committee that exists for this purpose, so nothing can all be fixed because if it's all fixed, now you got a job, right,
you got to go do other stuff. Now. Our theory on the show yesterday is that if we want to know what the new tinker Bell is going to look like, we need to look to who the who's doing the art, because that seems to be the trend now where the redesigns of characters like April from Teenage Man, Ninja, Turtles and Velma and others all kind of look like the people producing them in a weird sort of way, even though they claim that that's not the case. So yeah, let's figure out who's
drawn Tinkerbell. And I think you're gonna know what she's gonna look like or they's going to look like. Yeah, you know this is this is a fascinating story. I see that this blew up within the last twenty four hours, and the most recent article is basically refuting all of the rest. But the most recent article saying that tinker Bell is not being removed from Parks is TMZ, and no offense to TMZ. They're not exactly a place that I
nobody said she was deemed removed from. Disney didn't say they were removing her. They said that they are updating her. So this is a This is
one of those listen to the words and pay very close attention. We're not removing her, We're updating her, like the very Godmother update the everyone loves so much during the live show there right, everyone, Everyone was fine with that, obviously, all right, you sent a you sent rossa text and I started laughing at this and I want to pivot over to it real quick.
And it has to do with the Adam Carolla series, mister Bircham, which is I know you're you're you're a big fan of the Daily Wire as they continue to expand their their programming, and it's like, hey, did you guys see this? You can't go to the Data. I have to go to the Daily Wire because it's one of my prep things, and every time I go from one page to the other page, I get a damn pop up for it. So, yes, Stephen Kent, I am incredibly
familiar and kind of annoyed now that site works. I am very familiar with this. Let me, I'm gonna play just a little of the trailer here and then talk to us about it. Check it, check it out here it is, and we'll get a link for you. Tell what you need up into the first one, rolling speed at anime Sogbucks looking a little chubby wobby, so I bought him some new food. It's organic and vegan dogs are supposed to eat meat. They're just sending some of wolves. Do you
ever see a vegan wolf on the Nature Channel? I'm a vegan. Coffee is for closers, Ladies, Listen up, don't make this a prisoner. I'm a heteronormative, sis gender white male, for which I apologize. I'm black and that used to be enough, but I'm also bilingual and I'm non binary. Where are the Army? We drink more before nine am? The Navy pukes too old ten all right, So if you like that kind of
stuff, they're they're taking all the boxes. Yeah, there's a There is a definite Ron Swanson vibe on the on the main character there, uh the parks and Rex Dude, which uh has some I never really got into that show, but I can watch Ron swanson best lines and amuse myself. So talk to me, man, what's up? Yeah, Well, the prem this is simple. Mister Birchman is a wood shop teacher who hates his public school children, and he belongs in the nineteen eighties rather than twenty twenty four.
So this guy, yeah, exactly like Adam Carolla apparently developed this show and a pilot fifteen twenty years ago, but couldn't find a home for it at ABC, CBS or Fox. I think Fox was the last place that considered it over a decade ago because it was just a little bit too on the edge of political correctness. And it has found a home over at The Daily Wire with voices from Danny Treo, interestingly enough to Megan Kelly and Rob
Rickle, who you might remember from step Brothers in the Hangover. Just like a who's who of stars, the Daily Wire has managed to bring into their sort of center right universe of television shows and movies. And it's pretty funny. I watched the pilot. I found it really enjoyable. Little bit like the character is part major pain in another part Bob Belcher from Bob's Burgers. He's like a good dad but a mean guy. And it's pretty funny.
I I they I don't know how much they are expanding, but the amount of money that they're dumping into it. Some of the productions I've seen, and I saw that there's an update to on the Snow White movie, which I'm still I still love that. Back to that back and forth with Disney over what they're doing. The quality of the production is really good. And too often folks have set out, especially in the vein of hey, we need more conservative voices in there. And we've talked about this, it gets
too preachy. The stuff I've seen is not preachy. I you know, it's it's fine, and you know, I would encourage people to at least check it out for sure, especially the kids stuff. Man. Yeah, yeah, the stuff over at bent Key for Kids is really good, and I agree with you on the preachiness risk. Basically, conservative media has the risk of falling right into the same trap they're trying to run away from, which is the politicization of everything and the daily wire. They walk the line
pretty well. I would say that some of their humor is a little bit too online, like Lady Ballers as well their live action movie about guys playing on girls basketball teams. There can be sometimes too much Twitter focus in terms of far left insanity, and I wonder if that's like something that resonates with
everyday people who aren't following this as closely. But it's very funny. They've got this crazy school counselor called mister Caponzi who calls himself a JEDI, meaning he's the captain of justice, equity, diversity and inclusion at the school. EDI. Nice. How do you know what this stuff? I watched the pilot? Oh really? Yeah? So did you watch it when everyone else could watch it? Or I'm are you special access? Yeah? Ross said
you had changed, Yeah, yeah I was. I was supposed to go to the red carpet event in Los Angeles, but you know, my schedule casey, Wow, build up there, all right? Two quick things I got about two minutes, A couple of video game things. Assassin's Creed, Shadows, finally they're going to set it in Japan. Two protagonists, black dude, black woman. I love history, and there is some callback to a thing that is historical an individual, but it then deviates quickly from the
path. Is this another one where people should you know, our right to be outraged or get over it and just hope it's a good game and that Ubisoft doesn't try to steal your mortgage. We're talking about the Assassins Creed, the Black Samurai. Yeah, yeah, yeah, So I saw this joke kind of passing around. You know the SX show Shogun that is getting so
much love right now about Japanese samurais in the fifteenth century. Yeah, there was a joke going around about how that show lacked diversity, equity and inclusion because they didn't have enough black and lesbian Japanese pas going around the show. And when I look at this this game, I kind of immediately think the same thing as like, this is antihistorical, why would you do this? But you know, I don't care about this stuff. It's a video game.
It should be fun first and foremost. And you know in a video game, it's you're just looking at the back of the character's head the entire time, So who cares? Okay? And then well, and then the other thing is Ross found a game was squirrels shooting people, and he's very excited. I know nothing about it other than that it's just called squirrel with a gun, so I but you know, I will add one more thing though, Like the game. The game has the character named Yasuki. He's
Japan's first black samurai. Yeah, no, no no. I talked about this yesterday, but he wasn't. Kind of wasn't was the thing right? There was neither was neither was Tom Cruise. Like we've done this like a well a million times again. White guy finds Japan and becomes samurai. Well no, but again both historical figures, but both went in a different direction unfortunately. I gotta go, thank you, and we'll be back. Cac O Day Radio program coming up at eight oh five. Reminder Senator Ted Buddle
join us. Dude, I gotta give him to break down this debate stuff like I don't understand the gamesmanship here. I think I understand it, and if I if if it is as I think it is, which it probably is because I'm very, very perceptive. It was. That was a horrible gamble. So if you don't know, let me give you let me fill you in on this before we really get into the meat of it coming up here in the next hour. But I'm curious your thoughts. So basically,
you had Joe Biden's keeps put a video out. It is thirteen point six three seconds? Is it? Because Roz you dubbed the whole thing in right, That is the totality of the video. It's not even fifteen seconds. I just want to be abundantly clear. I'm gonna play it, and I'm gonna tell you a couple things about it. Here we go. Donald Trump lost two debates to me in twenty twenty, sins that he hadn't shown up for debate. Now he's acting like he wants to debate me again. Will
make my day, pal, I'll even do it twice. So let's pick the dates. Donald, I hear you're free on Wednesdays, all right? So and then he gets uh. He literally makes a joke about not that Trump would have made the joke. But if you're like, ah, we're not that. One of the things that you're One of the problems you're dealing with right now is and I think it's an important poll, is that the majority of Americans, the majority of the vast majority of Americans, think that
Trump's prosecution is political. The the divide is a certain swaths are cool with that. That's why it's not all of that, Like there's a there's a big swath of Democrats there, and mathematically that would mean that a lot of them are like, yeah, no, this is fine, and then you're gonna crack a joke about that and throwing out this gauntlet. It's just so weird. But it's what what followed, what was behind the scenes you didn't see, which we'll get to in a moment. But on the video,
I don't want to pass it right by Roster. When you were dubbing that in this morning, you're watching the video, you're doing all these stuff. Do you notice anything about that video that stood out to you. I mean, I don't know what the official number is, but there's like seven or eight cuts in like fourteen fifteen seconds. Would you say a lot? Yeah, I mean there's a total of I was reading on like fifty one words. Yeah, yeah, he's gonna get through fifty one words without you know,
seven or eight edits. It's one of those jump cuts and it's and people going, well, you know, it's about perfection. I understand that, but it's a debate challenge. He like, it's a debate gauntlet he's throwing down. So if you can't formulate your challenge in one take, I don't even have to be one take, right, do a few takes get the way you know we do promos. Sometimes I'll cut promo, especially if it's short stuff like that fifteen's I'll cut a couple just because you're trying.
It's word economy. That being said, if you're not able to structure your challenge in under eight jump cuts inside of fifteen seconds, you probably shouldn't be issuing the challenge. It reminded me of you know, when you have a kid and you're you're spoon feeding your child lines for a funny video you're going to be putting on social media whatever. Wait, people do that, yeah,
believe it or not, they do. Yeah, So you're spoonful them lines and you're cutting it up right, because they're reading it line by line. Reminded me of that everybody. You know what that's it's a very good way. Reminds me of taping a client kind of. I'm not picking on all our clients. Many clients come in and they just do straight read, but many and listen. Some of you listening, you know how it is.
I want you to look your best. And don't get me wrong, when Ross and I record a commercial, it's not always you know, hey, here's a straight sixty second read and hunky dory, Okay, there'll be a lot of times where you stop, you may recut part of it. I was doing one this morning and it was supposed to be sixty seconds in the copy. I don't know why you do your production before the show. I would that would would lose my damn mind. But anyway, but yeah,
it's so stressed. I was doing it and the copy was supposed to be, you know, like sixty seconds, and it was. I recorded it over and over again and it kept coming up as forty eight seconds, so you have to fill twelve seconds. And yeah, you should have heard the swearing and the screaming and the mic. You know, you know, here's the thing. If I see if I see you like on a monitor like between the studio monitors, screaming like that, I don't need to hear
it to know what's do you know what I'm saying? Like, you know, you can just tell when somebody swear, Like you ever see like a CC you know, like a camera in a you know, guy's getting robbed. You know what's up, like you know the language, So yes, let's just say that you don't. I don't need to be able to hear your words or you know. It reminds me of you mentioned the kid getting
his line spoon feedtals. It reminds me of like back when they did music radio and you record people for song intros to up the ramps of songs. Yeah, and you would get the guy get a calling in and you would literally just tell him line by line what you wanted to say, and you would piece it together. And it's equipment called a vox bro. It's just like that, Okay, Joe say this, No, no, it would be funny if you say you say this and he's just whoa, Oh my
gosh, you do. You didn't even tell people to sit down. Now people are gonna think that everything they hear on radio. Is someone else? I mean not in this market. Oh okay, all right, very good, me like small you know, boise or whatever. Ross quit beating who gets the roses? That's what I want. Okay. Can't believe she was cheating on him? I mean was she? I don't know. So with that in mind, you're gonna issue that debate challenge the behind the scenes.
This where I think that this is gamesmanship is when you start to see what is demanded. Right, So this is let's go Old West gunfighter, right you just you just told you know fast whoever the fast gun you know, dude, is to meet you at sun up or high noon or you know whatever. You pick your poison and and then you're like, and and by the way, high noon, I mean high noon, but only only if
it's partly cloudy. I would like a little shade, uh, you know for our gunfight to the death there and it's gonna have to be on uh oh, let's see one of the tuesdays that coincides with this and no guns guns, let's go guns with and to to the point where you're just like, are we doing a gunfight anymore? What the hell are we doing? And that's the look you got with the with the debate stuff. So as you start diving through it and check out the actual list of requirements here,
they are among them no audience. What you cant do a debate and no audience? So it's like Kennedy Nixon nineteen sixty style. I guess yeah, in a famous debate where they were like, oh, look Nixon his sweating and Kennedy looked so handsome, right that there was no audience there during that debate. And and do you think that that I see where you're going. Do you think that that would be if you had to pick them right? Picking horses here? Do you think that that is a better thing for Trump
or for Biden? I mean initially people like, oh, it's the probably better thing for Biden, but I don't know about it. Maybe for Biden because he'll be less distracted. He'll be less distracted, but so will the camp because it's so easy to throw him off, right, But the right that awkward silence, it's like you ever want to sit com and there's no fate clapping a bad Yeah, it's weird, man. I've seen some clips
on YouTube. What was the one I said, Oh, home. Somebody had a home improvement with no laugh track, Like it's really cringey, but hey, you know it is what it is. I like home improvement. That being said, I don't know who that no RFK Junior. Now this is interesting for a couple of reasons. It is a tacit admission obviously by Biden's folks that they feel that he is more problematic to their numbers. But also it requires them to set this up outside of the Debates Commission. You
know how we feel about the Debates Commission. Clearly a bunch of leftist leaning decisions, there's no question they've made over the years. Uh, and you know, basically the Republicans. The Republicans had to go in there and be like, we're not going to do business with you cats anymore unless you fix it. And then they tried to fit Megan Kelly was I think one of the suggestions. And yeah, you can decide whether that was good or bad
for Trump. But the you know, the factor remains that this would bypass that because they have a hard and fast polling rule and they wouldn't just agree to exclude somebody if they met their polling requirements. So this has this has to happen outside of that. No Trump remarks during Biden's answers, and uh, they gave a list of outlets, and of course they're all, you know, big fans of the Biden Uh, specifically for the first one. It looks like CNN. The fact that CNN after it was it is known,
right, it's not in debate anymore. It is known that CNN gave questions to Hillary. That's not up for debate anymore. Yeah, Brazil, right, what's that was another name the report, Yes, gave questions to Hillary. CNN their person gave questions to one of the you should not have one maybe ever, but at least not in not dealing with some of the same people, for God's sakes. And and and I think that they thought maybe he wouldn't agree to that. And what did he do in like five
minutes, like, yeah, let's do this thing. I I don't know if that played out how they thought it was going. Right, You've got no audience, You've got no overlapping of the voices, right, the microphones are going to be muted once your time writs up. It's like it's all catering to Biden to make it a calm, quiet environment, because when there's a lot of chaos or noise around him, he easily gets thrown off.
No yeah, yeah, no he does. But I don't think it goes far enough because if if and the little there's other little things that they'll have to negotiate, Like do you think they both walk up to the podium or do you think it had the camera starts and they're standing there. I believe right the camera it's gonna be like a COVID type thing where they're already in
place. They're in place, you know why, because just those dudes walking on stage, going back to your Kennedy Nixon reference, that's the visual man. You know what they should have asked for zero G call the light howe yeah no, no, no, no, hear me out right, if you want to eliminate that, we just kind of get pushed in like Joe Biden the Space Center or whatever. But otherwise right the other way, you could take him forever, like walk in this still emotion in the podium,
You're like, oh my god, is that dude dying? Like what's going He's got the dementia shuffle. But if there's like no gravity, be like he is spry. Yeah, look at him. Zip it over there, Wow, bounce it off that wall. That'd be amazing. Yeah, you guys didn't go far enough do that. Aren't the Saudi's or somebody over in the Middle East they're trying to build one of those, because of course they're trying to build everything for they spend all their money. Yeah, so uh,
just my two so oh crap, I'm sorry. Just race staging. I'm so sorry. Yes, you're practed with the thinking about Biden and Trump floating around in zero G debating each other. You'd watch that, right and don't Yeah? I would, don't. They always say don't interrupt the don't interrupt each I always And look, we all remember the first Biden Trump debate thing, whatever that was. I think if Trump goes the way that he debated Hillary, that'll be on brand and not as annoying as what that turned
into. I'm not laying blame. I think was just awful, But in zero G I would almost put up with that. S that's just me, all right. You had your fun, make it nice, make it nice, nicer. Yes, today I've got Sorry, the fun goes away in like one day because the showers thunderstorms will be back, so enjoy today. Hang on to it now. This little guy just popped up just on the west side of the don't try and go, oh, okay, well, there might be a rain shower. I just went through Chapel Hill heading south
toward Apex and maybe Holly Springs and further south. But it looks like it's very weaky. We get a couple of rain drops and that's it. We should see sunshine develop, so the cloud and the fog will go way. There are dense fog advisory southwest most near eighty today near sixty tonight, fifties out in the suburbs. That could be a passing shower. Tomorrow morning you'll be dry. Not so lucky in the afternoon and evening with more scattered storms
coming in. Some strong storms are possible. Let's see outlook for severe weather. Hold on beginning banging. I don't want to take too much time here. Yeah, it's a marginal risk for maybe a strong storm, and then same thing over the weekend, scattered showers, storms and decent chances of rain each day. I mean, if I put percentages on it, it's up there to seventy eighty percent each day. They'll be dry periods, but the better chance of dryer weather is going to be early next week with a warm
upcoming middle of next week. So today great, after we lose this stuff this morning, and then early next week will be good. In between maybe not so great. So I just want to recap you said that in Chapel Hill there's a little weak dude who just popped up trying to make noise. But we'll eventually go nowhere. Eventually it'll eventually go nowhere. Yeah, it'll weakled it. And it's not just one. You should check your doppler. There's quite a few. All right, thank you very much. All Right,
welcome everybody. It is seven fifty four here on the CaCO Day radio program. All right, let's let's talk pizza. So how many of you have ordered a pizza? Show of hands? Okay, pretty much all of you. You know how it works, even though the ordering may have changed. You don't just call or back in the day. You just call and a lot of times they recognize the number. One we've got caller ID.
Very simple process and now you got to go through I don't know, I liked it the old way instead of going through the app trying to figure all that stuff out, not because I'm old, just because I feel like that's it feels like a self checkout. So I guess maybe it is because I'm doing that I'm old and bitter thing. But I also know that then when the pizza gets there, if you haven't prepaid obviously through one of the apps
Boom got Cash, we're gonna have a little tip up there. I in college, I delivered pizzas for Meacheese in Galita, California, and boy, boy, was that that is an interesting experience to do that for. I did that during one of the summers of school there, and that was that was eye opening, especially when you could take you could take a pizza to like the bad part of like not that there's a lot of bad, bad parts of Santa Barbara, but the bad part, and then you could go
over to Hope Ranch and it's like Oprah's neighbor or something. It's crazy, man, but you pay for the pizza and you go. Unfortunately, some people use it as a robbery opportunity. You order a pizza, either it's the pizza or the pizza and whatever money they have and they try to rob the dude and that is what is alleged to have happened down in Texas. Oh, I am Sergeant Mark Holbrook h O LBR Okay with the Houston Police
Department's Homicide Division. Sergeant Mark Holbrook. What we know now is that deceased victim got into a confrontation with the pizza delivery driver. The pizza delivery driver shot him multiple times. He is deceased on the scene. The pizza delivery driver is cooperating and speaking with investigators about this incident, Okay, And there were witnesses who saw parts of what happened. We're not sure how the pizza delivery went so wrong that somebody wounded up getting shot, but that is what
we're investigating right now. Okay. All right, So that's there you go, And what I'd be doing the story if it was just that. No, because as you dig through the story, you come across a rather interesting quote from kho U Channel eleven in Huston by the brother of the dude who is alleged to have been trying to rob the pizza driver. The brother of a mere white. No, the brother's name is a mere white. His brothers who was shot is arraya white anyway? Said quote. They say he
was the pizza delivery guy. We don't have a receipt that he was buying a pizza. Why do you think that is, sir? Why do you think that he does not have a receipt for buying the pizza? Ponder that. Let me read the rest of the quote. If you were the pizza delivery guy, why were you armed acoday radio program? Glad to have you along? And what a what a perfect set of circumstances and timing for our next guest, that of course is North Carolina Senator Ted Budd joining us this
morning. How you doing, sir, Casey? You doing great? Well? We'll find out if you're still doing great when I hit you with this, because I have identified, I have identified the thing the most important thing going on in Washington right now. No, it's not Anthony blinking, jamming out and then talking about suspending election. It's not the Biden administration saying they're
going to go EO executive order on the border stuff. No, no, no, I need to know where our senator stands on this really important issue. Menopause is not a bad word. It's not something to be ashamed of, and it is not something Congress or the federal government should ignore. Menopause is something that every woman goes through. So there's no reason that any woman should feel like she's going through it alone, or like she can't find reliable
information or the healthcare answers and options she needs. And there is no excuse for short changing this issue when it comes to federal dollars. So we're going to be working hard to build support for our legislation, pass it into law, and make menopause a part of the conversation until it finally gets the spotlight and resources that it needs. Well, that's why I'm willing to spotlight it here, Senator. That is your colleague, Senator Murray, Patty Murray.
Obviously, you guys must have fixed everything else Where do you stand on this very important issue. Well, we've been trying to keep that as a state secret, and it's been only in the secret rooms, but now it's been out. It is our main issue here. It's not the deficit, it's not the border, it's menopause. Yeah, I like the solution of this, if I if I'm assuming the solution of this is more taxes and taxes
which primarily would hit higher income earners. You know people probably maybe in their fifties, right, they've worked a lot, they've built up their income. So menopausal women, a lot of them, it's just like, man, what are we doing? What are we doing? If you're old enough, I don't know if you are, Casey, I think I got a couple of years on you. You remember an SNL skit back when they called it Saturday Night Live and it was on menopause. So it was the news clip,
the news segment of S and L where they talked about menopause. So I know, yes, yes, yes, what is I'm telling you? May you're just surround I thought I thought you were moving uptown and you weren't just surrounded by stupid. But then I'm reminded every day that even though you went on your right side to the other, it's they, it's there, it's there. You got to deal with it. All right, Well, let me get to some of the more important issues. But first you have
to help me handicap the what the hell that was yesterday? So it's the day started. You know exactly where I'm going. So Joe Biden his people in a fourteen second video which has eight cuts at least, right, you film videos. I see stuff you guys put out and post, right, you got to do a little Hey, I'm Ted budd. Here's the thing public. It's part of your job, man, and I'm sure you've you've shot, done a shot and go hey, let me get a little better
one. There's there's like all the cuts, like every second there's a cut in this thing. And it's him challenging Trump to a duel basically with a list of demands so ridiculous, like no audience, CNN's got to do it. Who literally just would we know that they gave questions to Trump's opponent in a previous debate, and yet Trump immediately goes, yeah, let's do this thing. Was that a miscalculation by Biden's people? How do they get through
that? Are they going to be able to because you've done debates, you know how these things work. You guys have to agree on stuff. Handicap this for me, and then we'll get to the real issues that are not menopause. Jeez, I don't know how you want to look at a handicap on We just came out of the Kentucky derby a couple of weeks ago, but I would say this is a side by side, and you know, it couldn't be more clear. You look at where we were under Trump versus
where we are under Biden. You want to talk about inflation, you can talk about border you talk about energy dominance. You want to talk about the chaos in the world, which I've just seen recently in the last week. You want to talk about the US standing in the world. Do you want to talk about inflation? I mean, it just keeps getting worse. So he backed himself into a corner and took a paid cuts to do it.
And you know, I don't know what's going to be more important to watch, if it's Mike Tyson coming back in the ring or this Biden Trump debate. But no, you see the gloves. You see the gloves they're using for the Tyson fight. How many outhos are these gloves? Seventeen? WHOA, Okay, yeah, I wouldn't take that hit from Tyson, but I think about it at that point, right, yeah, yeah, he's probably
get paid. But yeah, so no, But do you think the Biden minister or do you think the Biden campaign excuse me, thought that if they put that out with all those like ridiculous, those are ridiculous. You can't have an audience for a debate. What the hell is going on? And and do you think they thought Trump would block and then Biden who teased him for not debating even though Biden refused to debate and the Dems refused to acknowledge
challengers. They thought he wouldn't take it, and then Trump surprised him? Or do you think they assumed Trump would do it all along? That's what I'm kind of wondering. You know, I just can't You can't see how much stupid comes out of this White House. You know, they're policies, everything's short term thinking. They're trying to salvage Michigan and Minnesota and these crazy states with the way they're handling Middle East policy. And now you look at
the political arm and the way they responded. Took them fourteen seconds and eight cuts, and it took Trump probably ten seconds to respond. I mean, he was ready to roll immediately as they put it. They're like, yes, thank you. I don't think they thought he would bite that quick. They thought they would call his bluff, but Trump wasn't bluff And now we have two debates. Yeah, well, maybe I don't know there's still the theory. They're like, ah, they'll replace him or whatever, but that
that's for another day. Let me let me get we'll know that in August. We'll know that. No, right exactly. And by the way, I'm sure that things are going to be. Everything's going to go perfectly up in Chicago for the For the dude, I've gone to these things in the past. Man, you could they asked us, like, Hey, anybody any stations have interest in broadcasts up there. I'm like, not a chance. Nope, I'm too old for that, because that's gonna be that's gonna
be full combat there. Just trying to get in and out of that. You talked about the political stuff. Yesterday the White House mentioned that they want to go executive order on border stuff. Uh. There seems to be a lot of moves here lately, including what appears to be a flip flop on the Israeli funding stuff. And I want to get into that, but like a few of these things that just seem like real quick where they've turned.
I'm assuming they're finally looking at the numbers going we're hemorrhaging here. We must do something. The Israeli thing last week probably didn't play well, and I know the border stuff's not playing well. So if he does do an executive order, are you at least happy that there's some progress or is it just it's not worth it because it's just a campaign thing. What do you think that it was totally a campaign thing. It's almost like cartoon like, you
know, they fix one thing and then a damn break somewhere else. They think that they make the voters in the Muslim portions of Michigan or Minnesota happy, and then all of a sudden, they start losing the Jewish vote in New York, in California, you know, and all of a sudden, then they start fixing that. Then it makes the other folks upset. But you can't fix Then they try to fix border, and then now it makes the open border people upset. This executive order, it's weak, it's a
sleight of hand. It's too little, too late. It won't fix things. And you want there's so many clips. They took ninety four executive orders in the first hundred days. I mean, that's really cranking them out there. If they would just simply undo that, I mean we would have a little bit of progress. But they're just going to try to do something else to say that they own it, and they own the border issue. If you want a little indicator, if you look at John Testers, the editor
from Montana. Right. Unfortunately, my colleague, I think we're going to beat him. We've got to do the work. Tim Shee's running against him. But he says that he supports Trump on the border. Uh, he's becoming mister Trump, mister border. And he's a Democrat and everything he's done is completely supported Chuck Schumer and has been anti border, open border. Uh. And now that's what they're going to try to do is a sleight of hand Jedi mind trick from now to November fifth. I think the voters are
smart, They're not gonna they're not gonna buy it. I have to think that watching Bowser up in your neck of the woods, uh and uh up in DC and uh Adams and the reaction in Chicago, I have to think that that was a resounding success what Abben and the Santas sent out to do. All Right, we're calling that a win right in the sense of at least because it that singularly drove this issue. It could be hell on the
border as it always is you've been there. But once it started getting into the cities, and I'll you sell, Chicago's coming out screaming because these are their rec centers that are being repurposed. They it hit home, man, and I think that might have been one of the more effective. It's a stunt, but it's not a stunt in the sense that it worked. Well. Here's how they here's how they. The Blue States are upping the ante after Decanus and Avid and Brilliant Moves sent them there. They said, all
right, you want to be up and border, here you go. They said, oh, well, thank you. We're going to use them for reapportioning the congressional seats because you see California, you see New York. They've lost congressional seats because people have led these fatalitarian policies in these states. And so they said, well, we're just going to use the illegal immigrants that have come to our states to reapportion for the next census in twenty thirty.
And we're going like, no, what. That's why we're pushing to say you got to be you got to put on the census whether or not you are a citizen. There's several bills Mike Lee has led some anyway, it's about a type of election fraud that these folks are trying to do and use non citizens to reapportion and that's not the purpose, that's not the intent of our founding fathers and our constitution. Yeah, and we've talked about that on the show because people people get it wrong and they go, oh, they're
going to bring them here and then they're all going to vote. Now, don't get me wrong, I'm deeply concerned about like auto sign up, if you get a license and then you're you're you're not legal to vote, but somehow you still like that. That whole thing is problematic to me. But the proportion, the proportion of the congressional districts as well as our let you know, how we handle our presidential election. That's the game. Because they
don't have to get they don't have to make anyone legal. You can be illegal. If you're counted in the census, it counts. And I've been told that legally they could never overturn that. But that's of course the pundits on CNN. Do you think they have good grounds to get that fixed? I think it's going to be tricky and You've got to stop it at registration because people can say, well, you know they can. They can on so many different avenues they can make their way into the system if it's the
automatic sign up like you mentioned others. And it's really hard to verify. Yes, it's illegal for somebody the non citizen to vote, particularly federal elections, but it's hard to prove, it's hard to catch, and so you got to stop it on the front end. Yeah, just a couple of things. Since you know you are the Senator from North Carolina, you've been watching what's going on in UNCEE. I'm sure you've been watching what's going on
at all these campuses and have some thoughts. But UNC is very much in the spotlight from the fraternity brothers, who I guess are having a half million dollar party. That sounds fun, And of course what we saw with the interim chancellor there who went, no, this nonsense isn't happening. And there were colleges that chose that route, in colleges that didn't. I think Chapel Hill's better off. And now they've defunded DEI. So you have a lot
of thoughts. I'm sure what say you? Yeah, look they've made some for all the challenges across the nation. I'm proud of you and C Chapel Hill. I'm proud of the student who pushed back. I mean, if you've if you look in the depth of the story, it was it was a young Kidy from Winston Salem who stepped up, called the chancellor and says, you've got to come down here, protect these Jewish students. You got to protect us and help. You got to put this flag back up.
So it was some great students down there who love our country or patriotic they want to support their fellow Jewish students, and they were getting overrun and then they turned the tide and so some great leadership from interim Chancellor Roberts did a great job. So I'm proud as I can be of un C Chapel Hill and the conservatives there. And some people aren't even conservatives they I mean, they love our countries. They're probably you know, a traditional liberal there.
Hey, that's politicism, we've got to stop. Yeah. Yeah, they're a college kid man just like that. They don't even know they're like, hey, this is wrong, and they push back. And I'm proud as I can be of them good night. But I don't think they I don't think they're going to throw a half million dollar party. He used to folks. They got overwhelmed with this go fund me thing. They got a ton of money, and I think they're going to find some great nonprofit to give
it to and have a little kegger there at the end. No. Oh, and they can have a big keger and still a big amazing thing. Not compared to a half billion bucks, though, wouldn't that be amazing though? But yeah, like you know the land, I understand that the universities are probably not what you and I encountered. And you got to remember I was a Wyoming kid down in southern California, so there is some definitive culture
shock there. But ninety percent of the students are a political They're just like, oh, oh, you live on don't play, which was the beach side of like, yeah, we live on don't play, let's party. And then nothing came of that. And then there were ten percent who had signs and hated everything. So I don't know that much has changed in the percentage. But the vigor, and this is where we get into it. The vigor of the students, which is pretty frightening at times that we have
seen where a lot of these schools are just gonna let them do. Some of the schools just agreed to fast track punishment and expunge it from their records. Even though they vandalized buildings, including cal Poly Humboldt, committed crimes, won't count against them. What's the you know, what's the answer to that? To the extent that the federal government. I saw Virginia Fox was talking
about this. I saw that by the way, the Code Pink Lady was chasing her through the elevator, and I think Virginia Fox could have taken her and her friends. So tell Virginia that, but she's so strong. I'll see her here in just a little while. As the honor the Reverend Billy Graham and the Calgary That was good. My final question for you, Yeah, jump the gun there, No, no, no, no. What do you guys do? Yeah? What do you What can you guys do? I say, Hey, we pushed for rule of law everywhere. Can
I affect here in North Carolina? What's going on Humboldt State? No? But can we say to those in Chapel Hill, those around the state, make sure you're enforcing the rule of law, whether it's campus or whether it's outside of campus. That's a wity to have. And when folks sign up to the students, that's the laws, that's the rules of the campus they sign up for, and they need to be held to account. And you
said, look, ninety percent of students aren't political. Well, you know, reality check is ninety percent of folks out there in the world aren't political. They just want to live their life. They want to go to work, raise their family, have some fun. And I think we need to make sure that we don't screw up this great country so that people can just live their lives. And you know, they're not political, but they're having
to get political to defend our country. And I hope that people will wake up and show up at the ballot box and make sure to vote for the rule of law and for those who protect our country. And right now that's President Trump. So even if you're not political, it's time to make sure that you're registered to vote and get out and turn out and stop this crazy
all right, last I go, I well exactly one minute left. Yeah, So for folks who don't know what it is, two statues per state, right, and Billy Graham is going into North Carolina and going out is mister Acock, which is the most amusing street name near my house. But other than that, good riddance, So well tell me about it. Yeah, well, when you're missing your street sign in your neighborhood, you'll know what happened. But we're taking that down too. But look, we're replacing
you with Reverend Billy Graham. I want to just thank the House Delegation for their work on this. They did a great job and we are placing that statue up today so the grand family will be there. And you know, he could have lived anywhere, he and his wife Ruth, but they chose North Carolina. Impacted billions of people around the world through television and it's amazing. One hundred and eighty five countries and so many people that he talked to
in person. Ted, I already hear all Yeah, I'm sorry, I got to cut you off, but I want to hear all about it next time we chat, and we'll talk to you soon, all right. So Nick Bryant is an independent journalist. He wrote The Franklin Scandal, which was it was about aren't give me a shocked to learn incidents of child sex abuse among very rich individuals. You know, a lot of that wayfair stuff, and yeah, it's over in the agre adrenochrome folks or big fans of the
book. But the reality of Jeffrey Epstein is really what this was surrounding. And you don't have to believe in cabals and Bohemian grove to understand that there are a lot of examples out there of people who feel that they are untouchable and can do whatever they want, who also have very perverse vices availing themselves of it. It's how these stories come to light. How there's you know,
Lolita Express, how there's an Epstein Island. But the thing about Epstein, as we all know, is it became abundantly clear based on what they found in his house right where it had gazillion cameras in New York and his everybody just kind of moving this dude up the food chain that he knew a lot about a lot of people. Now, whether he's the one who fleckxs that, I'll let you be the judge. But then when he suicided in prison, as you can imagine, we got to where we are. But
I thought it was just gonna be another one of those conversations. But no, he added something at the very end. He's doing an interview with a podcaster, Sean Ryan, and it just almost matter of factly, he says, quote, oh, and a lot of people don't know that Epstein had himself cloned before he went to jail in New York. I guess for he reported or something. I don't know what that you lead with that? What do you mean he had himself cloned? I don't think he means that there
is another one, but like you know what, it feels like. It feels like the head freeze thing, right, like I'm gonna cryogenically freeze Disney's head. And then one day who knows this guy didn't go deep enough? Okay, I heard, oh you heard, yeah, anybody else here or just you just made John McAfee and and and Epstein. They switched faces. What like a face off? Oh, they had a fight their faces you beat it high noon, like I was talking about. I don't know you're
thinking about. You're thinking of about a Mexican standoff, and that's racist. Now their faces switched. How did that go to that? They? Okay? With a whale or not, because I had heard yeah, yeah, okay, all right, well wow that's double source. Now okay, I were on the safe I heard that. Can you imagine, I don't look, if they did clone them and I don't know, let's go, let's go a little a little wishy here. Wouldn't it be amazing if every time
they popped a new Epstein out he still retained all that knowledge. Can you imagine being the Clintons having to kill this guy? I mean, the stress that would put them under, like it's like a whackable literally literally, right? Ay Epstein set to testify tomorrow about who helped him buy the island. Oh my gosh, you fell out of a penthouse? And then he shows up, Oh there he is. He made it to because my knowledge of
cloning isn't that great. But like, yeah, when you clone somebody, they don't have like the same brain compatity, the same memories, or it's like a new person. Right remember the remember the whole Dolly thing? And then with the cats. All right, so I read a thing about the cats and it actually creeped me out because they you're right, they didn't, but some things they did where there was familiarity, and that's the part that made my skin crawl. Where they where they they cloned this cat. Now,
class cats are demonic anyway, So you're dealing with that. But I'm just throwing that out to bait people. But ultimately, there was retention in a clone for things that shouldn't been retained, but there's not enough evidence on it. So you and I are speculating, right, full disclosure, right speculation, Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, But wouldn't that
be amazing? Just like even if he's on the stand and he's like and then I the phone rang, and I look down and then it's JFK to his head right, and they're like five minute recess and then they just wheel the next one in. I'd keep printing that, keep printing that money. Printer go burr, Epstein, printer go burr. Okay, there's your meme. I wish I could do graphic card. The point is that would be fabulous. Unfortunately, I think people are reading probably a little too much into
it. But you remember, one of the theories is that Epstein wasn't murdered, he was whisked away and his face was switched with with McAfee. They switched faces and they're all living on the same island with Elvis. Now they're there the ocean prison. Oh they're in uh Poseidon's prison or Atlanta. Oh what did that? I heard? I have actually heard this dumb theory of the ocean prison. What do they call it? There is Atlanta, traz
You didn't know about this. I'm just making this goes with the remember the UFOs popping out of the water stuff with the day video the U s O s Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So like one of the theories around that was those are prisoner transports and they have a super max under the sea. Yeah, it's like Spongebobs the Wharton and he's maniacal. So so are the the the ocean prisons, the underwater ocean prison ran by aliens? But there, yes, you're kind of kind of yes, it's there are
some reptilian vibes to it, but there's also just one world government. So it's which ocean prison you subscribe to. Well, I'm not gonna lie. This sounds completely feasible. What I mean, I'm I'm in what sounds feasible ocean prisons? I mean, yeah, I guess you could technically do that you stay in hotels that are under the ocean, all of it. It all makes sense. Now, Okay, I was confused before. Now I'm I'm so glad I've convinced you. I want a hundred Epstein standing there waiting
to take the stand. Make it so as they say. But that's just me, and I'm selfish that way. Uh Ross. I'll ask you, and then I'll ask uh raced ageing the same question. Gentlemen, what is from the weather channel? If he's there? What is the crappiest town you've ever you've ever been to? Did it? You know? Dame? What is it? Islan? Really? No? No, it's not. Come on, Can I can I offer one other that may beat it for the title of crappiest town? Devin England? Did you see what happened today?
I did not. They had to cancel all the stuff because the water supply gave the entire town explosive diarrhea. Everything shut down, schools. It's not government, everybody, Wow, the whole thing just here. Your day is and God help you if you got five kids and two bathrooms? Sure yeah, no, no, never that bad my hometown. So Atlanta can do what Atlanta wants to do and you all can hack on it. But I don't I feel like they win. I mean I was talking about my hometown.
But yeah, I throw a land in there too. Oh okay, you connected a right, your Rosskin. You don't get up there. I want to say, Troy. I mean it's the same marketing. Yeah, it's gone to the Albany Troy, right, and you go, you go some of the northern towns and it gets a little sketchy. Does everybody at the same time have explosive diarrhea from crypto? No, that's only happened in my town once, but I don't think it was from what. Okay, all right, that's a lot of stuff trying to try to play along here.
Yes, Ross has found out about alien undersea prisons. He's very excited about that. Exactly. Get him excited about weather. Yeah, excited today, not so excited the rest of the weekend. Of the weekend. Probably have more on this tomorrow, because we're still gonna have some time tomorrow morning before we get the storms back to get a little better picture of the weekend. The rain chances are high. The question will be it doesn't rain all
day Saturday and Sunday, My first guess is probably not today. No rain, lots of sunshine, still little cloud around on sprinkle of rain this morning. Might some leftover fog, but it looks like a lot of that's going away, especially south southwest of the Tryad near eighty. Today could be a shower Tonight sixty and then tomorrow's the clouds increase. Scattered afternoon and evening showers and thunderstorms low to mid eighties, and some showers and thunderstorms. Over the
weekend. We could get some stronger storms. Percentage wise, the best chance looks Saturday, but we're still at you know, fifty sixty seventy percent chance over the weekend, a wet weather early to mid next week, a warming trend will start in some dry weather for a few days. So today great, Friday, through the weekend not so good. I'm not gonna say there's no dry hours, but I really think it is. We get into Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, nice warming trend, and we should have high pressure
back, which should mean some dry weather too. Okay, all right, so the short story, your weekend sucks. There's nothing you can do about it, but maybe it won't in the future. Because we're on TikTok. Dude, you got less than two weeks. Oh you're on the TikTok. I'm not on the TikTok. No, no, no, no, TikTok on the clock because Memorial Days coming up. Oh you guys gotta get all your crap together. You got to get this figured out. People need this.
I already want the holiday weekend for I'm like, come on, dude, that's like ten days away. No, I'm just saying, not even if in the Just get people, start trend and do your work and we'll talk soon. Okay, sounds good. All right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger will join us coming up next. And I got just a couple other things I got to share with you here on the Cacoday radio program. Bellinger Blueberg News joining us. Jeff. What's happening man, Good morning,
Caseye. Homebuilders broke round on more new projects last month. Just got that report in from Washington. The government says housing starts increased five point seven percent in April after a steep decline in March. The number of workers signing up for unemployment benefits eased last week after a big spike the prior week. First time applications fell back by ten thousand to two hundred and twenty two thousand.
Major average is settled at wrec his yesterday. The future suggests they could extend the gains this morning's opening. There is renewed optimism that interest rates can be lowered this year, but Minneapolis Fed President Neil cash Carey became the latest central banker to reiterate that it will likely be a while before rates can come back
down. Walmart shares are higher in pre market trading. The giant retailer posted another quarter of sales growth, and it slightly raised its outlook for the year. Sales for stores open a year or more increased more than expected. Walmart is attracting more higher income shoppers looking to spend less on essentials, and its e commerce operation has been a big driver. New technology will allow Visa to share more information with retailers. Visa uses so called tokens to protect customers banking
information with an extra layer of security. It will only share information involving customers who have given their consent In casey, This makes one think there is no safe haven from financial trouble. The United Nations is struggling and some austerity measures have been composed. Thermostats have been reset, cut back on air conditioning, justice temperatures are starting to climb. A hiring freeze is in effect, and
the webcast of one recent important session went dark before the session ended. The meeting went long, and there was no money to pay overtime to the camera operators and translators. I have so many thoughts. I'm not going to drag you down with me, but thank you for informing us. Okay, okay, you have a good day. All right, all right, thank you. Jeff Bellinger there, Ross tell me when he's clear, because I don't want to do this to the poor man. Is he clear? We're good,
he's not connected to this anymore. Okay? Are they going to be able to pay the people who rape the African villagers? Do we know? Do we have an answer on that? I mean, austerity measures be damned. Are they still going to be able to send you and employees into I don't know, let' say RAFA within this quasi organization they have and then we find out there's literally like Hamas fighters and they're shooting at people. Is that
still going to be funded? So are the terrorists and the rapists within your organization? Are they still going to get their paychecks or are they going to be hitting the unemployment line? And who's hiring them? Right? What industry out there is looking for a guy whose CV is like? Yeah, so I worked for a un security organization for three different countries in Africa and we raped a bunch of the population. I'm not being flippant with this. This
is researchable. Yeah, well we're supposed to be do a humanitarian anyway. It's a mess. Now you put that on there. Who's hiring you? Columbia University might But other than that, good luck with that man, all right? Sorry, I didn't want to hang that around justin that. Can you imagine if I had to bust it out with that rape line with Jeff on here, I wouldn't do that to that poor man. And I really want to talk to him about the poopy city, because holy just think about
that. Think about whatever city of yours. I don't care if you're in one of the big ones, sitting in Raleigh or Greensboro, whatever, or you're sitting down in four Corners or you know, pick your whatever it is state line looking at you moonshiners and and but I want you to envision everybody you know, that you've lived with, you go to school with, that
you work with, that you see in the grocery store. Just know that at this very moment they're all also sitting on the throne cause you're dim with government had in this Cryptosprittian problem forgot to test and only told you after the fact that you should boil your water. Good times. It's like that speakers sing where they tell you if you're going to go give a speech, you know, picture people naked, and it's supposed to be a weird exercise that
helps you. This is the opposite, because now you have to envision that all that's going on around you, with everyone you know, and you will be this little town in the south of England today who had to cancel everything. Man
