Do you rush? Do you know how long it took the to go through the house. And I'm pretty I would to be very clear. I'm joking here, but like I gotta remember not to touch anything or eat stuff. Now it's stuff you shouldn't be eating or touching, probably for a certain amount of time. But that dude had it down to a science. But it took a very long time. It's very very thorough and I don't know, man, I want this big nightmare to be over. People were said to

be condolence stuff. You know. You know how we get emails in the afternoon for people listening to the podcast and then try to track back with their commenting on Sometimes people were just I got I got an email from somebody goes, oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, and I you know how, there's a moment in your head where you're like, what do they mean?

Did did our boss die? I mean, what happened? And then I done to me, I'm like, oh podcast, hey duns, and you're always gonna be the bug guy now, No, no, don't don't you dare. I'm not I'm not trying to spread that. I'm just saying that's how it's gonna be I'm not the bugs, like the kid eating paste. I'm the guy who overcame the bugs. I think, right, you're you're the destroyer of the bugs. Yes, I'm I'm Uh what was what's the dude's name, Casper van Dyne? Is that good? Should I be Casper

van Dyne? Was that the dude's name from Starship Troop? Yeah? Right, he's the right. Remember what happened to his his whole family down in Brazil or whatever the last city on earth was those bugs. Man, you can't turn your back on him. They'll come after you. Are you wearing one of those suits? I am? Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. Ross. Okay, so here's the deal. I'm gonna talk about this on

the air or whatever. So Ross, And by the way, the level of concern yesterday, not for me, but for you also was a little weird. Yeah. No, people are afraid that, like, the bugs will come to my house and then they'll upset my kid. They're like, oh my gosh, you're the same. Ross and I have literally never broadcast out of the same studio ever. We're this is this is a pro level act. Kids, Okay, right, uh, we got we're rolling large.

We can't get a window, but so they're having us go to a new camera system, which is how you connect the various studios, and Ross's camera showed up first, so he was screwing with that. This morning, you got it all set up, you're happy with it. It's where do you? Is there still troubleshooting to do? I think I think I'm all set Yeah, okay, my camera should be here tomorrow, I guess because we had to order different separately. So we'll get that all set up.

Have you shot an of yet? The thing's four K? Right? You know, it's a shame that you We're gonna hook up your camera, but then you had the bug problem and then you had to use the flamethrower and now that room is completely destroyed and now you can't record anything. It's it's it's a shape. This is this is a devious plot by management for more web content without Ross and I having to do anything. So I kind of get it. But also I didn't get into radio to have a camera.

The hell are you talking about? But then I thought they're gonna they're gonna go through looking for content, and like we should do really weird crap during the breaks, right, oh dude, I'm your guy. All right, So like, yeah, all right, hey we come back. Wait wait till you hear the the Biden audio about what he's gonna do in the the

overflow room. All right, that's next, all right. Then we go into commercial break and then on the camera in in synchronous motion, Ross and I get up in our in our in our separate studio environment, walk over and while uh gregory and chanting, and grab druid robes and a live chicken and a knife, and then walk out of the frame, and then about four and a half minutes later, coming back, no more chicken, what's that on the knife? Druid thing? Back in there? Hey guys,

welcome back. It's six forty five case you and then just say nothing. I know you're playing the long game there, but eventually they're gonna see something they might have me. You know, I'm on board, but I'm ready. I have the hats, I have the gillies, I have the Samurai sword. I know it's not you know, that's not Druid period specific or what the Druids use or obviously samurai swords. But we're innovating, man,

we're adapting. We're overcoming, so and then we just think up random, random stuff and then just you know, put it into the little time codes. Hey you might like this. Oh no, we didn't mean that that to be on there. I don't know why. Is everything just me trying to figure out how to screw with people? Probably because people are screwing with me. That's all I could assume. There's no other conclusion that I can draw. These are not serious people. It is one big theater production.

And if that is the case, bravo, mister President from the list of Live. First of all, he was made up quote suckers are losing. I was with he called America in the cemetery of World War One, suckers are losing. That's right. Current President Joe Biden at the time that Trump was president, was with him. I obviously the federal government's chief psychic, saw what was coming, and I was like, hey, you're next.

You probably should get in there. Joe Biden just claimed to be in France with Trump when he said so and losers, essentially adding a on the record, high profile source to the horrible reporting from the Atlantic that literally didn't deliver what they said they were going to deliver, which was the sources. Now Biden's the source. That has to be theater. That's too checkable. He's claiming to be on another continent as a former vice president, as somebody who

has Secret Service detail. I want to be clear here, he's not. There's not a question like, well, Joe said he went to the store and we haven't seen him for three days. Maybe he's in France. I know what you're thinking, like passports and stuff, Jason Bourne. I'm assuming that you. I'm assuming if your president or vice president. When you're done, you have the safety the the why can I remember the name of this the security box depos Yes, oh man, it's gonna be a morning,

right, the safety deposit box. And you have, you know, currency from about five different places, multiple passports. You get to make up a bunch of names. Ross. Have you figured out what your first alias main passport would be, cause you get you can make up whatever you want. Oh, hold on, you's screening a call. Yeah, you get like you get a bunch of those, so it's a little harder to track them.

But you have to not be seen, and you have to not be around a bunch of people who have to log their every moment and your every moment. It's wild. And also and also I know this isn't true. Look, one of the things I didn't I don't like to do on this show is brag. Okay, Ross, you not for self promotion. I've heard that would be okay. So knowing that a conscious decision was made,

but I can't stand by I and Roight. We know that Joe Biden was not with him in Normandy because after the event, and by the way, Trump stayed for the whole event and didn't run to a TV interview and go, oh my god, I had to ditch those suckers and losers. Whoops, you got me, like Rishi whatever. Over in the UK. After the event, Trump's like, hey, guys, I wanna go to Olive Garden and he flew us on Air Force one to the original one in Italy

because it's right there corner booth. Didn't even have to ask. It was amazing. So and by the way, you're going, wait, hold on, this doesn't track. Ross says he never leaves the country. And I would point to a rather interesting loophole. If he is with the President of the United States and he is with our delegation, Uh, within our embassy the president. The president is not subject in the same way that you or I am to the whims of other countries. So it is arguable that the

president is in a permanent state of a an embassy. So if you are in his presence, what do we know about embassies? A US embassy is US soil just is just as it is for other countries here in the US. So if we're on Air Force one, that's an American plane, and uh, we're with the president and uh literally the delegation of diplomats there, I think he I think you could argue he's still in the US. Problem solved, mission accomplished, get us the banner, and there is no Joe

Biden there. So yeah, I'm just saying, like, this stuff is so I again, I don't I don't know that they should be fact checking on the fly, and I don't expect Morning Joe to do it. But what the hell happened on that thing? I saw that he was going on Morning Joe and I'm like, Okay, this should be interesting, and we got a ton of audio and it all gets for Wow that like that might

be one of the winners. But it's progressively awful. I saw a Washington Post thing and they're like, and she's it's called white embarrassment, and I'm like, oh, dear God, what is this? And I don't want to say it's an interesting thread because I think she's onto something that's just like the contortions that you have to do to not sit there and go this isn't

good. And if you think ironically everything that a lot of people said that was not good about Donald Trump and in some cases is probably I would agree with you. Right, you've heard you've heard me on here where I'm just like, oh, I wish Trump wouldn't do that. You have Biden doing this stuff on steroids in some cases and and maybe not knowing that he's doing it, and that's terrifying. Did you see yesterday the former Speaker of the House. Did you see what he said? And I'm mad as hell at

him. Why are you only saying this now? The amount of stuff that media and UH and your representatives are saying now that they add that they sat on, what the hell is going on? All right? So here's what Kevin McCarthy said the end. I want to be very clear, these are policy meetings. These are not the turkey, you know, the turkey pardon or h what what color is the Christmas theme gonna be? Or or whatever you would normally associate with the First family. Right, these are these are

big boys. We'll use their term, which you'll find out what that means coming up. These are big boy decisions or if it's a woman present, big girl or whatever. But it is the it's the Bill burd bit, right. If you haven't heard Bill Burr's bit, he and and of course he he you know, he is provocative at the entry and that's just that's how he is. But he's not wrong. And he's like, if you're the first lady, shut up and decorate. And then we're like, oh

gosh. And I added paraphrasing because he's he's much funnier than me. But like I did to hire you, you would hire a plumber and their spouse show up and be like, well, look I'm married to a plumber. No Joe Biden sitting in on policy meetings. I'm going to repeat that with high level meetings with the President, the Speaker of the House, the head of the senatece. You got Schumer in there, you got McCarthy, you've got Joe Biden. Is them agreeing on stuff is what moves things along,

even if it's probably didn't need moved along. And Joe Biden sitting in there, can you I like, I can't imagine. I know that they're talking about right now. You know, Hunter Biden's at some of the meetings. I'm not saying I understand that decision, but I understand why the family and those around Joe might think that there are people that don't have his best interest in mind. Because they don't because they'll throw you away in an instant.

And I and and from a leadership standpoint, it's pretty clear that we shouldn't be in the position where that decision is having to be made. But they'll write that train until they feel that there's too sharp a curve coming and then and and bail immediately. And then you have to kind of lean in on people you think you can trust. That's not what's going on here. This is this is way before this. This is McCarthy and and them sitting down to UH to do big boy stuff. And and now Kevin McCarthy says,

stuff, screw you, dude, the hell is wrong with you? Donna? What's up? Good morning, Casey, can you hear me? All right? Uh huh, Okay, just wanted to do a bug check. You know what I was imagining when you were talking about your studios higher in separate studios. I bet Ross's is meticulously set up and super clean. He's got all of his action figures lined up and his bobble head and all that stuff, And yours is like Oscar Madison's bedroom. You've got sandwiches stuffed,

three day old sandwiches, stuff on the newspapers. And you're half right. You were half right. Donna. Ross is a fine collection of all sorts of chotchkeys and collectibles. He prefers the term collectibles and then just some random stuff like if if you guys, if there was a kid coming in to visit the radio station with his parents, that's the room I would stick the kid in. Ross would want there, you go, put the kid mine the spark spartan, absolutely spartan, except I do have a bunch of stacked

boxes because I'm not hauling them downstairs. Okay. The other thing I wanted to know, Hey, listen, I got three seconds. Did you hear what the mayor of Chicago said about the shootings? All hundred of them, or just the seventeen where they were killed, all hundred of them, all the black on black crime. I'm gonna look it up because I literally I'm going to hit a hard break. I will look it up and we'll go for there. Donna, thank you very much for the call, and we

will be right back in just a few minutes. Hang on talking about coups and stuff off the air, you know, light stuff, all right, Donna, I'm assuming you're referring to this. Hey, for all of you, I'm not scolding you, Donna, but if I tell you I have thirty seconds, I mean it. And because the alternative is literally it cuts us both off and that doesn't sound good. So I'm not trying to be mean to you when I'm doing it. It's I. I don't control that.

Ross control No, Ross doesn't control it. The log controls it. We are slaves to the log. Okay, all right? AnyWho, So I guess if you didn't hear, oh, it's I underquoted part of this. More than one hundred people were shot in Chicago over the fourth of July weekend nineteen fatally, I know it's one in five A good I mean If you're gonna do something, do it right. I'm not encouraging more people to

be shot. I would encourage you not to shoot people unless you know they need shooting because you know they're breaking into your house to rape and kill your family or whatever. Maybe not even in that order, fine, but you know, for just I'll limit my comments to Felon on Fellon violence. You guys could do better. And plus, if you're more precise with your shots, then I don't have to read these horrific stories about the kid who thought

he was getting an icy and he got a bullet instead. Okay, they can't bury you beneath the prison enough, you pieces of crap who did that in Durham, who will probably will never be executed, who should be on TV today to entertain me later. Sorry, I'm a little grouchy, but my house is it's no things where it should be because I had to pull everything. It's just crazy, very annoyed by it. But that would make me happy. Yes, I'm that guy because I agree with Mark Robinson.

Some people need killing, I know, and I'm on the train. If you're gonna be just randomly murder little kids who think they're getting an icy, you're on that list. Okay, all right, sorry, small rant. So nineteen fatally, one hundred injured over the fourth of July weekend. And it's what's crazy is the non blinking that people do when you hear Chicago numbers for these things anymore? Do you remember when those numbers used to like blow your mind? I remember it. And we do this for a living.

Okay, well, I do this for a living, and I remember the first time. I sorry, a salesperson just asked me for a spot? What after the show? What is Can you record that right now? Would it be an issue? What do you mean? Can you record it right now? You want me to record it? Yeah? Live on the air? Can you do it right now? Is it an issue? I could? I could bang out that spot? Yeah? Absolutely? Is that what the audience wants to hear me record a commercial? Wellt's see what's the commercial

for? Is it Hayes for share post apocalyptic meat? No, it's for I sell health Okay, very fine. Clients for people who want to buy insurance but don't want to do Obamacare, because people who do Obamacare think that's their only choice. And that's what they want you to think. Because they're

the government, all right, little conspiracy in there. I should there's probably something I'd get in trouble for doing it in some way, shape or form, but just to do it out of spite so people don't send me emails. But I'm in the middle of the first hour of my show. What was the other one? You want to do? Ross's horse meat thing or the the It was that for the kids? Right, Sorry, I'm a little on edge for obvious reasons. Is it? Is it because of the

bugs? It's not helpful, It's not contributing to positive man, just because I'm I look, I'm I'm I'm very happy with the way things were going. Like I was. Really, I didn't know what to expect yesterday, and I was very pleased with it. But you know, that's not a one day thing. And I know people are like, just prank the house to ninety and leave for two days. I read about that, and you like, it works sometimes, but not really, and you have to the

proper condict because people's houses are different temperatures. And I appreciate all that. You know, my dad dide two tours in Vietnam and he wasn't affected by the bugs. Shrugged it off. Yeah, I mean I get that. I don't don't really have a response for that because like that's probably also like was he more concerned about the bugs or being shot at, right, or you know pungee stick pits? Right, I think it's the shooting and the

pungy pits. Yet, so I'm in a position where like, I'm not gonna I'm not going to you know, be up in my kitchen making food later and then step too close to something and then in a pungee pit. That's not going to be a thing. So I don't have that concern. So I I feel like I can prioritize bugs rather than tunnel people or whatever comeing to trap me. Dude, I watched, I don't know, I watched. It's like a one hour documentary. I still have got to thee

with the point, but I will of like the traps of Vietnam. He ever seen that? Yeah, I've seen all of them. Yep. Oh my gosh. You're just thinking, oh, there's the because you've seen in other movies. Right, you get the looks like leaves and it's actually just a bunch of like carved bamboo. Hunter and then dudes impaled. No, No, they have they had a lot of time on their hands. I've watched videos too on like the creatures of Vietnam, like the insects and the

bugs and the snakes. And you see that picture going around social media of the guy like holding up what looks like a centipede demon going from his head down to his feet. You know the picture I'm talking about. Yep, yeah, Jacks and people are like, oh, it's photoshop. It's like, no, it's a real thing that's over there. I my current biggest and I and good, I'll say insect, but then somebody's some erected experts gonna be like, oh, tactically it's a thing, all right, for

what most people when you say bugs, you can be caterpillar. Caterpillar would be a bug, the centipede of doom that Ross is referring to, or a spider, right, And I'm sorry, something's really really gonna have to put in the hours to beat the Afghan the camp was it? The camel spider? The thing that literally while it's you liquefy your inside. We had

people call in before who you know, had done tours over there. Yeah, have no idea terrifying that it bites into you while you're sleeping, and it numbs the pain so you don't know you're being bit, and it just keeps biting into till there's a giant You wake up and then there's a giant hole in your leg and it's liquefied inside. That's the other part, because whatever it's using, because it's not chewing, it's secreting something that's turning you

into a milkshake while you sleep. I'm sorry, is there something worse than that ross? That or the the millipede of Doom? I feel like in the uh all, hell, no, it's got to be the spider there, right, gotta be the spider. Any back to this, and then during the break where we're faking another thing, will you just you go in your drawer and you get the millipede of doom and I get the spider thing with that, and then we walk towards some management's office can come back without

them. They'll be searching that whole other side of the building for days. I'm just getting ideas the whole way. So what is your response when you're the mayor of a city who celebrated the fourth of July by murdering nineteen of your citizens and attempting to murder a eighty one more. You gotta find somebody to blame, and he did. And you know what, this is a good This is an oldie, but a goodie. As they say, let's see here. Initially, he said, we're here to emphatically say that this

is enough. It's enough when there's reckless violence ravages our city at this magnitude were leaves. We're losing a piece of the soul of Chicago. I feel like that that is a process that began well before you, sir. He also urged federal authorities to respond to mass shootings in Chicago. Basically, it's like, you need more gun grabber laws. And then a reporter asked him if he'd heard any gunfire from the ten shootings that took place over the weekend

where his family lives. That's wild to me, right, they're even shooting up this dude's neighborhood and he's and he's over the West Side, So I mean, he's not in a bad place as beautiful anyway, as beautiful as that area is, it's a neighborhood that unfortunately has been neglected over the course of decades. So yeah, we hear the shots. Actually they're like,

oh it's gentrified. Yeah, here we go. And then and then finally this quote, we are standing here today talking about a violent weekend because of generations of disinvestment and disenfranchisement that runs deep in the exact communities where so much of the violence has taken place, you know. The newsweek damn it, they cut off part of the quote here, all right, hang on, sorry, I'm trying to do this on the fly. They ended up. I had like ten seconds to Phil, and I want to I want to

be very specific. Uh yeah, no, no, no, this is what we're doing. I'm gonna cut a spot now. We're doing this. Everybody's jacking up my scheduling today because my not Dona, but my internet right now, all right, because I like to give you accurate quotes rather than spin them and give you part of them. Little thing I strive to do, all right, dude, Yeah, I cannot. I cannot echo enough they the the worthlessness that the Google search engine is becoming, and not even

for stuff that's controversial. I mean this obviously hast I was like, I was googling something that was so innocuous yesterday and it was like, how can you not understand what I'm asking? How do you? How do you not know this? All right? Here we go? All right, so the quote I read you, Oh, what is wrong with you, dude? Is there is there something wrong with our actual network? All right? Here

we go. So when you hear that quote that he was talking about, he's talking about the years of you know, disinvestment and this enfranchisement he is, he's running the gamut of who he's blaming. And he said, we're standing here today talking about the violent weekend. Black death has unfortunately accepted in this country for a very long time. We had a chance sixty years ago to get at the root cause, and people mocked Lyndon Johnson and we ended

up with Richard Nixon. That's right, the mayor of Chicago, who I'm pretty sure he wasn't alive when Nixon was in office. He's not that old. Is he blamed Richard Nixon for what happened in Chicago over the weekend. That's what Dick Nixon, You're the one who done it, which is wild to me but also a really good catch all scapegoat. I guess I wonder if he was just on the fly, like oh, who should we blame? And if you're willing to blame people are either dead, had nothing to

do with it, or whatever. I mean, the list is endly you blame the Smurfs next weekend and with Gargamel, Right, but why do I know that? Still the amount of crap that we retain that I don't know will ever be useful again, except that one fleeting moment is pretty amazing. All right, six forty eight Cacoday Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So I have to like delete this email because it's just triggering me? Is that? How is though the words we

use? I'm not in college campuses right now, so I don't know how it how it works? All right? Coming up on the show, the Washington Post article or article string of thoughts, it's it would be more accurate whiteness and embarrassment, and so coming from the Washington Post, you just you know it's going to be great. And then also let me just throw this in here. Just before the show, Ross, I think you screwing around

with your camera. We had a commercial that ran on the Raleigh station for Kids Bop, which is they had like the list of tours, all the tours that are coming to North Carolina, and one of them was Kids Bop. I don't remember where it was, but it was in Raleigh. I don't remember if it was Red Hat or whatever. But is that still a thing? Kids Bop? I had no idea that was still a thing. Now. We were not ross and I were way too old for the initial

Kids Pop. But I remember those insanely nails on chalkboard videos. Not because I want your kid to be fun or whatever, but you know, I was right at that age where I'm like, I would rather go where those camel spiders are. But the kids are singing along, they're having a great time. Like I get it. Now, twenty something year old me didn't get it. I get it. I still want to go, but I get it, Okay, But I remember or because of the age of the

kids, like, you're not having them. They're not in there singing, uh you know John Lennon stuff, right, They're not They're not doing grateful dead covers. The kids are pretty relegated to what he is in the uh, the zeitgeist at the moment. And you know, when this thing came on, you had enough sanitized hits that you could do it right, you could run the gamut. I remember Hanson was on there, obviously, was there Matchbox twenty, you know, and and these were the songs that were

currently hot. Because the kids their their their their memory, their time span there is so short. What the hell are the kids singing now? Wap? Yeah, I have no idea it has to be. I mean, Taylor Swift has to be on there. Okay, fine, kaylor Swift's probably

on there. But I but I'm like if I just went and looked at a list of the top one, you know, the top one hundred across the dude, I am so out of the loop on any music that's that right now, like any I'm like way Pop I went to last year, so there was time there to maybe have it that reached me through a commercial or something. I'm so not I'm so old. I'm not old. I'm discerning. That's the word I'm gonna go with, because there is newer stuff

that I actually think is is pretty good. Right, I can genuinely respect talent regardless of format, with the exception of just very rarely, just very rare things. I just like, no, I'll give it, I'll give it a sample. I don't know one. I don't know most of these songs. I don't know that I could pronounce on the air some of these songs. So one of the kids they killed alternative rock, that's dead. You realize that, I don't somebody's gonna get irritated. But it has been

absolutely sayed up that I can't even anymore anyway. I just I just wanted to throw it out there because it's baffles me. But I don't know. Maybe when he has been to the kids bot, I don't know what the kids are singing. But if they're singing WAP, I want to see that promo commercial because they ain't gonna know why they're singing it. But it's like people should go to jail. And some of the other songs, like the titles are fine, but if you look into the lyrics and I I have

no idea, I have no answers. So, but we do have more stories coming up after the news hang on, Oh we'll never We'll never know what what did? What did his tortured soul want to speak about? Uh? Ross? When he screened them? Do you ever remember some very serious political event? I can't recall. He was gonna he was gonna cut into me over the bugs, wasn't he? He had some thoughts of the bugs? Yes, yeah, okay, I assume in Boson you don't even notice

because the entire town's infested. Is that accurate? Had you heard that? Just bed bugs everywhere the whole city. You don't have to look. Don't check that. Google will lie to you. By the way, uh, I am h who was a dibbs. Somebody wrote the because I've heard this theory and I subscribed to it years ago, that Google, when you have like ninety percent of the market share and you want more ads, just make

people have to look at more pages to find what they want. And there's a break even point before people go, I'm willing to shift my allegiance to Duck Duck Go or one of the others. Right, by the way, do not call me and explain the ownership history of Duck Duck Go. Right. People can look it up. I'm not getting into it on the air.

You know why get people get so crazy about that nobody cares right now because they have eyes, And then Google it because they'll give you the worst version, and then duck duck go it and they'll give you the best and that's where we are because there's two truths. So anyway, so yeah, I like that conspiracy theory and but like at this point it's getting ridiculous. It's just ridiculous, man. Although I will say this, it's not my

favorite conspiracy theory today. All right, Ross, do you know the big hot, the hot new conspiracy with having to do with the hurricane. There's a barrel conspiracy. No, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh dude, yes, And it's not the standard Heart made it right, because that's the usual one, right, Oh, Heart made the uh the thing and to

make a make people get on the global warming train or whatever. So no, so if you look at the path or the projected path that it's that it is currently working on and the path of totality for the eclipse, they're basically the same. Why would a hurricane across through North America on the exact same path as the eclipse main path? And what I love is it's both a conspiracy but one that requires people who kind of think they can explain it

scientifically to create their own conspiracy theory to combat it. Right, They're saying things like, well, it's the rotation of the Earth and the what was one of the reason. It's the rotation of the Earth that causes that. And oh in a wind and weather patterns, Well that's true for a hurricane kind of, although you know they move because they bring so much force. But yeah, that's why you can project them. And yes, you can project the the you know the path of the eclipse, right, we can

see eclipse pass well into the future. Stuff that'll be here, probably after we've already murdered all of ourselves. But you they're different and how you do it, and the hurricane requires so you got to wait for it to form, and you gotta see some stuff. And even then there's a reason you have a cone. So you're making up your own lie to combat this. Except I don't know what the rest of that conspiracy is, because like nobody gets past that first part. They're like, they're just awestruck. If you

lay over the maps that they look similar. What are you implying. Are you implying that they people control the hurricanes and it's a harp thing or are you implying that they control the sun or both? And who would have such power? I don't know the answer to that. But you know, if you want to go down a little bit of a rabbit hole that is yours for the asking, so to speak right there on the internet and on the twitters for you, so do enjoy yourself. Oh good, all right,

So just to stick this brainworm or this earworm into your brain. I had Ross dub one of the Kids Bop commercials again. I'm just trying to figure out what this would sound like with modern day songs and kids. You'res so lucky, am I? Because seven means some of your favorite songs are together again in one great place. It's the brand new Kids Bop seven, the

best selling kids music series in the country. Does it again? Track after track of kid friendly songs performed by that kid's bob kids for me, for Me, for me, I can't, I can't, I can't now. But you know it shows you that if you get into the most popular songs in America, there's there was lots of There was lots to choose from. I don't know how abruptly they would change songs, but you know, really avoiding you know, the Kelluses of the world and others of the area of

the era. Was she the oh, Caalise, I'm sorry, I don't even know. But is that the milkshake song or that? And who did the neck and back song? I don't remember, yeah, all right, But my point is like those were easily spot well. Although you could probably sing the milkshake song and a kid would just be like milkshake, they didn't have a version of that. I remember that Milkshake with my friends. It

was a cute radio edit. But yeah, they did well. Radio edits are I don't even know how they do it nowadays, just crazy, but like you, but you could actively avoid it, and I'm sure I just I don't have a large enough scope of understanding of all of this, but it feels like it would be all Taylor Swift. Now, let me tell you a tale, okay about this is gonna be good if you can.

If you just called it a take about kids bops and I call it kid bops, it's k bop but I say kid bops, right, it is how I say so specifically that cut from two thousand and five, which was kid Bop seven or whatever. Okay, So in two thousand and five I worked at a top forty radio station. It was twenty four some like that,

I think, And yeah, no, I was super young. So I was working at a top forty station doing the night show there yep, in Atlanta, and part of my duties was I had to MC the nightclubs on the weekend, okay, which when you're like in the Ride twelve and now it's crazy. There was this one on Saturdays called Vision, and Vision is where everyone went if you were in hip hop or whatever. Okay, there was certain times where I'd be at the DJ booth with the microphone and

I would turn around and literally Ludicrous is there? Or you're walking? Or an usher is there? Or or or P Diddy is there? Everybody was there? Why? Yes? All right? But they're cool, all right, completely cool, completely cool. And one guy that I hung out with all the time. He also did a lot of production for the radio station. He owned his own production company. He did production for like commercials and

TV commercials and web everything. He's the guy so get this. So I had to go down to his studio to record the commercials for the club, and it'd be like, hey, join me, I'm gonna be at Vision blah blah blah. And he was the he was the the mister voice of it. So he'd be like Vision and then it would be like me in between you know his amazing Yeah, because that's what he did. Yes. So we were hanging out for like a year or two, and one night he just looks over at me and this guy, by the way, is

his gangster as can be. When you picture a gangster guy at the club in downtown Atlanta. This is the guy he shouldn't. Okay, So we're hanging out. This story is great. So we're hanging out and he just looks over at me one day and he goes, man, i want you to be the voice of kid Bops. Stop. And I'm like what And

this is that the knockoff? No, this is the thing. This is kid Bops And this is two thousand and five for the commercial I just played true and I go what He goes, listen, you need to come down to my studio tomorrow morning, eight nine o'clock. I'm gonna come there early, and you're gonna be the new voice of kid Bops. And I'm ma, I'm thinking he's messing with me. I'm like yeah, I'm all like what in the morning, right, And I'm like super drunk. I'm in

my mid twenties. Yeah, absolutely, you know, and I'm just like, all right, Bud, Yeah, we'll see you down there at the studio at eight nine am to record the Kid Bops whatever. Yeah. So I sleep in and I wake up at like twelve o'clock noon and then check my phone and I have like thirty forty voicemails from dude at the recording studio going off on me because he got up early and he was ready for me to record my Kid Bops commercial. And I'm like, I'm to irritate kid

night. Yeah. No, I'm like, dude was serious and in the voice of Kids Box it goes so bad, it goes up the chain to my program director. My program director calls, I mean, he's like, why didn't you go to Dude's place? You could have the Kid Bops. I'm like, Dude, I didn't think he really wanted me to be the voice of Kid Bops. I wouldn't. I wouldn't have believed that at two in the morning, hammered in a hip hop. The story just ends.

There's no happy ending. I was that close to being the voice of Kid Bops and so I could have been that guy Kid Bubs Volume four, whatever the hell it was. Yeah, where would you be Today Island or whatever. I don't know what, but it just looks over and I listen back to the commercial. Yeah, yeah, right, you're so lucky. This guy's got such a puker delivery I got. I could do UPRK do down. I could change my voice not an issue. Kid BOP's Volume five,

that's amazing. Yeah, but I don't know the way he looked over at mean, he was like, dog, I want you to be the voice of kid Bucks. I feel like you roll the dice on that. Maybe I guess, you know, hindsight's twenty twenty. We do stupid stuff where you did? I tell you? When I was younger, they wanted me to be the drummer for cars for kids. So what happened? Had that fall through? They don't drum, so and uh, you no problem. Nobody can sing here anyway. You could wing it. You could wing it'd

be fine. Yeah yeah, yeah. They're just like pretend to drum, and she'll pretend to play the guitar, which she clearly is in that commercial. So and uh, then I realized that I was thirty, so they're like, ah, that's probably not gonna work out age discrimination. I should have sued, but I didn't so because the cars are for the kids. Although actually, do you know where that money went. I'm not trying to

start some stuff. I just remember being fascinated when I when I first learned this, and now I just realized that maybe this is not the time right now to I'm to unveil this, all right, So the money goes through a program facilitated by a charity called Oohrah, which is a charity for Jewish children and families. So it literally the cars for kids went to this Jewish families thing, and which is fine, by the way. I again, I'm not trying to start some stuff, but like they never kind of disclosed

the commercial. I heard somebody criticize, and I'm like, I don't know where you put that in. And I think their beef was well, it wasn't for all the kids. And I want to tell that person from ten years ago, wait till you hear how they run everything now, whether it's hiring college admissions. This is nothing. But yeah, yeah, here we go. Yeah, they wrote all the of course they wrote all these ads or these these takedown things in the media. Can you believe it does this?

I'm like, yeah, I guess I kind of can. But I'll tell you what's crazy is, why don't you look at some of these charities that you do like and the money is going to Hamas that's the thing that's happening. Or what's the oh, what is the the what is the the illegal immigrant advocate groups? Larraza? Do you ever see how much money flows through different charities to Larraza? You should. If you don't know about Larraza, you should be if I want to do a little, uh little research

and not the one that you're gonna get that is wild. So I just googled LaRaza. Do you know what comes up? It comes up the Spanish expression and uh, if you don't know what larrazza means, it's a slangy way to say mixed race kind of, but not as an individual but as a population, which you know it is fine. But if you do, if you get into the Raza and you get into the history here in the US and some of the stuff going on, now it's they're uh, they

were, they were very much in it. And then I'm trying to remember the unindicted co conspirator thing, the Islamic charity, like a lot of this stuff. Man, you should know who you're giving to. So there's that. But I don't know how this turned into that because Ross was almost the kids Pop guy. Do you think though, that that would follow you the rest of your life? Like the Blues Clues dude, where you just want to get away from it? That would be my key. I mean,

I wouldn't care as long as I was making bank. But I was as young and stupid. Well, let's face it like that. There's no residuals there probably so, but yeah, what would that be if you're gonna go hit on women? Would that be? Uh? Like, hey, hey, hey, you know who I am? You think I mean? I mean, listen, it could be like you know what happened with Steve from Blues Clothes is he would get hit on all the time when it came to

women who had kids all the time. He tells that story. Yeah, Beck, yeah, but I think his way here he was in a band or something, right, he went full liked. I don't blame him, no, Yeah, he was in a band and he did his audition for Blues Clothes in like a black leather jacket and stuff, and he just did it as himself or whatever, and they absolutely loved him and wear this shirt.

The producers were like, we can't hire that guy, and they brought him in again with a different bunch of kids, and he just hit it out of the park and the kids were like, we want that guy. And then they find they had him put on the shirt and stuff, and that just sealed the deal. Yeah, and then eventually it's like nah saying who. Eventually he was like, I feel like I'm living in a swimming pool because I'm surrounded by blue cgi and I have to get out here.

And then he went into an attic bedroom in his house in Seattle and shot himself. Right, Oh no, that was Kurt Cobain. But also one of the Blues Clues conspiracy theories. There are so many of them about what happened to him is wild. If you read the Wikipedia entry. I remember looking at him like, I think that's Kurt Cobain, who didn't shoot him

that? Okay, believe that conspiracy out there anyway. Seven twenty two, I went very long in that segment over Ross's brush with famedom there international dude, your Hasselhoff at that point, I think for that era, because those commercials run every ad break every break. You would have been possibly one of the top one hundred famous people for a couple of years. So but now

you're here and we'll be back. Ross's brush was stardom and Chicago shootings and all that, but it was the something that happened right after the show yesterday that was getting a whole lot of press, and that was whatever MSNBC's Morning Joe and the Biden administration thought that that was gonna be because it clearly wasn't. And maybe that is what Morning Joe wanted. I don't know. I stopped trying to predict that that douche is once in needs a long time ago.

After I saw him, I saw his h his band. You're remember how ridiculous that looked watching him on the guitar man, and you just know that Mika eats it up. So but whatever, So Biden calls in. He's not in studio and they've got him in I don't know, the situation room or something, and he's on camera and he just just from from the jump Man. He's ready to go. And look the messaging obviously there.

If you're the Biden administration is going to be you need to you need to go out in the full throated way that you have with some of the statements you've issued, in comments made and the letter that was sent to congressional leaders, and be like, I'm your guy unless Jesus says no, like or the Lord comes down like you said the other day. And he went a step further and he says if you try, if you cross me, I'll get you. And I want to point this out because I saw a bunch

of MSNBC and CNN people going that you can't walk that back. That's how you know he means business. He's putting them unnoticed. The cynic in me says, that's the strategy, and they're all in on it, because that's how you portray in their mind, how you think you portray competency to hail Mary and effectiveness that he whipped the Democratic Caucus into shape. So I think

that by design. I think they sat there, they had all this stategy sessions, and he said to Pelosi and Schumer and all the rest, and it's like, look, the only way this works because we've done the math and we realize if I leave and commonly gets killed, and if she's also gone, all that war chest is inaccessible. So we're gonna have to stick with it. But we can't just come out and be like, yeah, we decided to stick with what we're doing. He's got to look like he's

large and in charge and dark Brandon. Does that make sense? Ross, What do you think of that conspiracy? No? No, no, that's a conspiracy. I think that's the way I would do it from a calm standpoint. Make him look like he's he's the man, and the people who questioned him stepped out of line. I think that's one hundred percent what's going on here. Yeah, but the thing is being perceived as him being a

lunatic. Well, I didn't say it was playing out because remember, you know, you could do something as simple as write a note about how to walk to the podium, which is an actual note on an actual card, and then he doesn't do it. So a more complex bit of theater would would require Oh dude, speaking of conspiram Sorry, I just would be very short, all right. I saw a conspiracy that the exact thing I'm talking about was how two our two forefathers of electricity did it. And I know

you're you're a Tesla fan, right. They they argued that the two didn't hate each other and each other's technology, that they were doing this to get people to adopt electricity by whatever means. I don't know about that one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't think so either, but I thought, okay, all right, I think he had a genius in Nikola Tesla, Yeah, who just didn't have the business acumen right of Thomas Edison. And Edison was really good at stealing Tesla's stuff, and yeah, electrifying elephants,

and yeah, I mean Tesla is very sad. We look at his life like ended up like crazy Town, marrying pigeons and stuff, and yeah, you had a lightning room. Do you have a lightning room? I do not, like, Yeah, it'd be amazing. Yeah, so uh and don't act like you've never electrified an elephant. Dude, We're in showbiz. That's what you do. So uh. Anyway, I'm sorry. Back

back to Joe Biden. So that would be best case scenario, but that would be a way to run it where you could because all you have to do is give Biden one liners and he likes those sometimes he even gets them right. But make him really short because it's an action movie at that point, and do action movie. Our action movies, the action movies of our childhood. Are they known for deep dialogue? No, Almost every movie is immensely quotable with three words, four words. I'll be back, dude,

I don't have time to bleed. Is very deep? Yes, well, no, no, no, but it's not so it's not hard to re member. Right. They want something that's memorable and sticks with you, so you better get more body bags. I do this all day. The most complex one that's also one of my favorites is the unforgiven revenge scene. You shot an unarmed man. What's the rest of it? You should arm himself? Should armed himself? You know what. That's a good point, sir,

that's a very good point. If you want to decorate your bar with my friend should arm himself. Oh so, let's see if that's play word. Tunning is now the forty sixth President of the United States and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden, calling in to mourning Joe right now, Good morning, sir, Hey Mika, I'm more of a presumption I'm going to be a

Democratic nomin baby. Maybe Hey, dude, the genius level troll tweet that I saw on this was wouldn't it be wild if Trump is unseated by Biden and then Trump up on seats Biden and then Biden realizes in twenty twenty eight it's his turn. It's some along those lines. And it was just people like didn't know how to deal with it. And I'm like, that is a good tweet I saw. It was a great post from Adam Carolla talking about the best way to get Biden out of the race. Yeah, did

you see this? No, He's like, the best way to get Biden now is when he starts talking about it, be like, oh, I'm going to win a second term. Just be like, mister president, this is your second term. Oh that's a good point. And he's going to be so confused. He's like, oh, well I did okay, great, I have no idea. Yeah, you spent fifty over your eight years. You spent fifty percent of your predecessors. And he can run to out that nobody will fact check it. No, great, dude, You know

what I did? Fall down the Adam Carolla interviewing newsom rabbit hole. I think they have a whole like viewed beef going back to years and Corolla just destroys him. It's amazing. But that's another thing for another day. All Right, he almost got Mika's name Meekan. I don't know what he called her Megan. That would have been funnier if you called her Megan. But whatever, here we go. Let's get into the American public is not going

to move away from me as an average voter. And again, I'm here for two readers, Pale one to rebuild the economy for hard working, middle class people. Give everybody a shot. That's a straight shot. Everybody gets a fair chance. Number one, number two. Number always talk about how I don't have the black support. Come on, give me a break, come with me. Why why dude, it's all of the holy goody one lighters. I'm right, Powell to sound. He sounds so angry, and

that's going together. It's a thing, right, that's a when you have dementia, you have these angry outburst moments like he's trying to sound strong, but he sounds yes, he sounds mean. Okay, you know what, you're a boat man, Stay in the boat. I don't need you. Did you get into that. That's one of the lesser known, but a good one. Yes, he's coming. I'm telling you it's not working out how you would want it to work out for the scenario. But if I

feel like I'm right here, I'm getting so frustrated. But by the leap, now, I'm not talking about you guys, but a boy, the elap, Why are you not talking about them? They are clearly at those cocktail parties that you're referring to the party who they know so much more. But any of these guys, I don't think I should run against me announce the president, challenge man the convention. Okay, well, and that's easy

enough to say. And who knows maybe that some of the donors are in on it, where they're just like, look, I'll not abandon you if the polling turns around with this strategy. I'm curious. Is that an illusion? Also? Oh, by the way, this is the continuation of the stupid but wildly entertaining golf back and forth with Biden and Trump, which started with Trump carry his bags and then Biden's like, let's go to the driving range and I don't even know where we are. I'm curious is that an

illusion? Also? To Donald Trump? And the fact that Democrats, you believe, may now be doing the same thing that Donald Trump tried to do in twenty twenty, and that is overthrow the popular will of Democratic voters. Look, Democrats, Joe, let me say it this way. Read. And I've been out on the road so much all over the country. And while Trump is riding around in the golf cart, filling out his golf cart before the golf cart, before you even hit the ball, he hadn't been

anywhere in ten days. I've been all over the country. Would you hold up well? Anyway? So he's filling out the golf cart with the card, but the cart before there was something else. He said. Two. One time is Donald Trump? He plays golfers, rides around in the cart. Yeah. Yeah, I've played like I've played on when I was younger, I'd walked course because I was cheap. But and there are courses I've played in my adulthood where if you go over the UK or Ireland, there's

no carts on a lot of those courses. That being said, if I'm playing with the carts, you know what, I'm in a cart, Especially when the mountain courses I like to play in North Carolina, you would not survive. I probably wouldn't either, all Right, This is. There's so much more. We'll get to all that. Race Stagic is here. He's got his own one liners like, oh dude, they have there's we have conspiracy theories, but there's a weather conspiracy theory. You familiar with the barrel?

I hate that name, conspiracy theory? I am not what is the barrel? Conspiracy? Lay over the projected path of Beryl Right that run from what Texas up to the Great Lakes or I guess towards New York. Right, I can't, I don't remember right word it ends, but that that curvature, it follows the path of totality from the alert. Not totality, but the the the best the path of the eclipse. Oh how about that? Yeah? And people are trying to explain it's the rotation of the earth

or weather cycle. Right, I'm like, I don't think the sun is yeah, I don't. Yeah, don't these people know that sometimes things just it's no atypical. They don't. They don't know because money is produced by the heart machine and the other one is the sun. So ah, I got you, man, I'm gonna write this, write that that's good, that's rich, that's good stuff right there. Yeah, you can work it next time. Yeah, more good stuff. Well, I don't have anything

short term that's gonna break the heat. Uh. Later in the week, maybe we get a front in here that might take it down just a little bit. Now most of us heat advisory, most of the tryad all the triangle. Temperatures today a little bit nineties, but it's gonna feel over one hundred, between one hundred and about one ten depends on where you are the hottest numbers around the triangle. So another hot day, isolated storms really not

gonna get much relief. But if you do get rain, you'll drop ten to fifteen degrees, and if it's later in the day, you may stay there. But if it's not to see trap back up again. More isolated storms tomorrow, just as hot. And as we get the Thursday, I'm probably gonna see upper eighties of the Triad triangle, probably the low nineties if you showers thunderstorms coming in, probably the best chance of rainy Thursday and on

into Fridays. The rain chances are going up with this front coming on in, so I'll maybe some relief as temperatures by Friday may only be in the low to mid eighties. But that's more a function of clouds and the rain chances a barrel depression, it becomes extra tropical, it'll have that cold front attached to it, so limited impacts there. Most of the tropical Atlantics now quiet. A couple of waves, but nothing over the next seven days.

As it looks like we're going into a little bit of a low maybe for the next couple of weeks, but should pick back up the late July and as we get into August. Okay, appreciate it, sir, thank you. Okay, there you go. Race, excuse me, Race staging from the Weather Channel. We're gonna get through this byden audio on the next segment because at eight oh five, Senator Ted Bud's going to join us. That's today, right, that's what you text. My brain is just cooked.

So yeah, we're gonna we're gonna chat with uh We're gonna chat with Bud and uh I there's there's just enough of the Joe Biden audio to talk to him about. But we'll get to a few other things. Did he send the pre approved questions? Do we have those that I have to ask? Did he get those over to us? Oh? Man, that whole thing anyway, we'll get into all of it coming up case O Day Radio program. My theory is, and I I the more I listen, the more

I'm I'm absolutely correct. I think that this whole, this whole thing, this stunt where there's just like Joe Biden's coming out and he's just he's burning bridges. How dare you you try me? You will not succeed. Come challenge me? What are you doing pal all of that crap. I think that that is the strategy, and they're all in on it because they realize just coming out and then running the numbers going we can't lose our war chest

or this because of Kamala. The only good option is to lean into where we are. And so they said, all right, Biden, come out is not only an action, start kick ass, take names, bubble gum this I'm all out of bubble you know, whatever you got to do, and then if that works, maybe it will start turning the polls around. And it's not working, not at all. He's not in this interview. How can you assure the American people that you won't have another night like the

one you did in Atlanta? Book at my career and not had many of those nights ross do we have any in the system? And the system exploded with a terrible night and I really regret it happened. But the fact of the matter is, how can you assure you're going to be on you know faith that can interview on your way to go to you know work tomorrow? Age Age wasn't Did he just threaten to kill Mika? I can do?

You know, let's super bizarre, so weird, Billy. How do you know you're not going to die in a bus accident going to work tomorrow? Oh yeah, how do you know your brake lines were cut in the parking lot ten minutes ago? The idea I'm Too Old created over fifteen million jobs, twenty one women and swords for the ACA, beat pharma, relieve student dead for five minion people, first black woman in the court. So I think I had a significant, significant run. And that's how I'd measure me.

He measure me what I've done. And by the way, in terms of my neurological capacity, I had a physical neurological physical as well. In February, it's released. I released all my records all, okay, I did because I remember that you're like, you won't and then but if you did. I also remember the media. Remember Trump's came out, and it's like he's two twenty and they're just like, you can't trust anything. I'm curious where that reaction's going to. The bottom line here is that we're not

going anywhere. I am not going anywhere. I wouldn't be running if I didn't absolutely believe that I am the best candidate to beat down on something. Twenty twenty four, we had a democratic nominating process where the voters spoke clearly. I want fourteen million of those votes, et cetera. So I just want I not only believe that from the beginning, but I wanted to reassert and demonstrate this too, and I'm going to be doing that all through this

week and from here on. Okay, all right, I have a question Ross now, listening to all of that, are you thinking, Rambo the Predator? Are you thinking I'm thinking the big boy presser this week is going to be a complete debacleing nightmare for his campid. We're going to give on historic levels. Give yourself the hiccups, because it is time to welcome in Senator Ted budd he joins us now, and Senator Glad to have you, but I got some bad news. Man, We're not Oh no, what's

up. We can't do this. Your office did not send me the pre proof questions list, so I, yeah, hang on, let me, Uh, you can just enter him into the teleprompter. We should be fine. Oh yeah, no, just until it hits pause for effect and then you and then I say, yes, I know your listeners can't see my

teleprompter right now, uh to guide this conversation. But believe me, that's so wild man, like because on in my line of work and in your line of work, we both know that that happens from a suggested standpoint. Now I would be clear, your office has never said anything like that.

So but like it happens, and it's you know, it's a polite suggestion, and sometimes it's helpful, right because when I'm interviewing somebody, when I used to interview Dan Forrest all the time, I wouldn't tell him we're going to talk about. But if I had something that was very intricate that I wanted to ask about, I might give him a heads up on the general topic, as I would do to you, be like, hey, I

really want to dig into this particular appropriation thing or whatever it is. But for the most part, we're just flying by the seat of our pants. And that's good. That's honest conversation to the extent that we don't know where it's going to go, and hopefully everybody's honest, and that's what I like. But it sounds like they took it a step further than that. Is what is the hubbub from? You know, inside the thing? How often does this happen? Well, I mean, look, he's lived on the

telepropter since twenty one at least chance. You know, during the campaign it was very scripted. His early speeches during the campaign of twenty twenty, during the throes of COVID, he would be looking at a giant screen in the back of the audience. Some of those had questions on it. So it's

it's only gotten worse and we're seeing the worst of it right now. The real question is it's not just is he competent to run for the next one hundred and twenty days to the election, it's like, if he can't run, can he even govern? And we've seen the results of it. And then the other question is, and President Trump will need to answer this and he'll do a great job of it. Is it's the ideas. Let's say you switch it out for Kamala. The problem doesn't get any better for our

country. It's not that we've now taken a fairly coherent person or into hear and switched them out with somebody else. We have really bad ideas on the left and the Democrat Party that are making life hard for not just us here in North Carolina, but around our whole country. It's making us weak, open borders, runaway spending, that's driving inflation. So the problem isn't solved.

But then swatch switching out Joe Biden. No, you know, we're speaking more to the strategy of things, and you're right, these are these are people can get hung up on that, like I am, I am, this is this is where I'm at. I watched the whole you know this this purported re emergence of you know, dark Brandon where he's like, you know, he's saying stuff he can't walk back to people who allies. How dare you question me? I'll do whatever I try me pal right,

And he's saying this stuff and it's meant to look aggressive. In my theory is they're all in on it because they realize Kamala's garbage and they can't keep their money if if somebody else. And so you don't just come out and go, yeah, I know, we're gonna stick with him, like it sounds even remotely reluctant. You got to let him come out like an action hero. And obviously he can't pull that strategy off. Am I just am

am I in conspiracy Zone or you work with political consultants. That actually seems logical to me. Unfortunately, you guys got to be able to get it done. I mean, their world goes away when when Joe Biden quits. So there's so's there's a small circle that he's listening to. It's Jill, it's Hunter. It's a couple of folks that have been with them, who knows since probably the early nineteen seventies. He's been there over fifty years in

this role. And so he had he's got no other life. Part of the benefit, part about what makes you great on radio or me as a US center do stuff other than what we do in our day jobs, you know, business. I'm sorry, So he can't do anything else, and their life is propped up by him and so they're going to double down until they're absolutely forced out of that job. You know what, I'm sorry,

I got to fact check you. He's been a flanker back, a civil rights advocate, some other position that I haven't heard of in one hundred years, playing another sport, A lifeguard, right, A lawyer. He's a lawyer dressing down corn pop, you know, and you got to remember that. Yeah, absolutely, that's tough stuff. Man. When you grow up in a primarily Puerto Rican, Jewish, Greek neighbor Black neighborhood, and then whatever else he adds, you get some life experience. A right, let

me be a little more serious here. So you saw that iteration of whatever that was. Right after my show yesterday, he went on, he went on mourning Joe, and you know, he hit the high notes that he always does, fifteen million jobs created. We all know what that actually means

post COVID and and all the rest. So but he really they like, they didn't get into any of the future with him, And I think that's very telling for what you kind of indicated, right, because it comes down to ideas and the one of the debates right now is the Republican evil Republicans they want a law that says that people who are not citizens can't vote at the federal level. And then the Democrats run out and they say, no, there already is a law. But if there is a law, it

and what is going on? Help me put this to rest. If there is a law, why are Republicans doing it? If there isn't a law, why would Democrats oppose it? Or is it a scenario where there's a law but enforcement and action within the law and interpretation there not enforcing it. So there needs to be a better law. Where are we at? Yeah,

I think he nailed it on that last one. Casey is there are laws, they are vague, they are not being enforced, and particularly with those that are inserted at local level elections, and now we're seeing those move out to certain states, more blue states or where there's an election board for that state, not being enforced. So that's the problem. So we want to give absolute clarity. We have several pieces of legislation I think every one

of which I've either helped lead or co sponsor. I don't have those in front of me right now, but those are those are some awesome pieces of clarifying legislation that casey should be bipartisan. But unfortunately the Democrats are saying this is extremists, they're racist, that they throw out the old usual things, that they try to throw a lot of dust in the air and confuse the

situation. We're like, no, we want everyone's vote to actually count, and we don't think that non citizens should be voting, and particularly those that are here illegal. Anyone that's not a usc doesn't need to be voting. So we're just clarifying those things that would lead to enforcement. And people will go, well, how does somebody who's who's here illegally or at the very

least not as how do they vote? And the way that their camels camel's nose under the tent with this thing is they'll say it's not fair for parents in a school district whose kids attend the school regardless of status, that they have no say in their child's education. And it's and and so that's how they're doing it. They're they're starting at the very local level and making these

common sense please. But you know, Senator, I'm a slippery slope guy, and and I think that the long game's going on here and it's not that long really as quickly as it's progressing. Yeah, absolutely, And I think that started in San Francisco with school boards. As many many bad ideas

do I start out there. So you're right, it's local election. It goes with the motor voter, the automatic voter registration that doesn't have the underlying identifications and proof of the birth certificate, Kate and citizenship, so it bypasses a lot of that and lets them get a toe hold in that they'll begin moving that to other elections. So that's part of the long game, I believe. Okay, let me ask you a question. It's not is more

of an introspective question. Could you do I get your press releases with everybody else some of our We have some members of Congress and folks that have dealt with over the year that I don't know if they've ever signed their name to anything, but they're there and you probably could name a few. You have a lot of stuff. So when you guys are putting a bill together post Chevron, like, does that change stuff dramatically? Because like knowing that some

bureaucrats going to misinterpret what you wrote previously had to be really frustrating. Does it change how you do stuff? I mean, what's how does that work? I think post Chevron. First of all, this it has been since the nineteen eighties, since that case first came out. Yeah, it has been the fox guarding the Henhouse. When there's a question about an administrative ruling, it's up to the administration and the agency to determine what they think about

the ruling. So that is completely wrong. And when I talk to small business owners and people that are out there creating jobs, I go, you know what, you've got a lot of frustrations with Washington. I get it, and I have those same frustrations because look, I'm a small business owner as well, both sides of the paycheck. I get it. But the problems that you're having out there are not mostly laws that have been passed by Congress. It's the regulations out there, and that's stuff that we never voted

on. A House, never voted on it, send it, never voted on it. It's some unelected bureaucrat that has created the friction that you're having to deal with every day to just try to earn a living. And so I think Chevron is a landmark case that as well as the West Virginia case that came out last year will be just so positive, especially with an administration

Donald Trump. But in the worst case scenario, it helps us. It really puts handcuffs on the administration in the future and gives Article one, which is the House in the Senate of the Constitution, the power that it used to. They gave away so much power here back to the administration and that's why you've seen these growth of these agencies over the last decades. But I think Chevron and some of these other rulings pull a lot of that back,

and that's great for our country. Well, and that is that's I'm glad you went in that direction because that's my next question. It's going to take time, right and you're going to the House going to be there's going to have to be more cases. But now they're going to have this last decision as case laws. So maybe it speeds stuff up, but you know that jam and stuff up in court for years is a popular strategy, and they're going to fight tooth and nail on this. So do you start to see

immedia change and is it? I mean, I understand that if an agency has far less to do, you still got to if you, if you one day run for president, go I'm going to cut the EPA's number of employees by fifteen percent. They're going to lose their mind even if they have fifteen percent less work. You understand that. You know this once there's more, that will never be less, is what a lot of voters think happen. So how committed are Republicans to right sizing agencies as these changes unfold?

Oh? Huge? And I think there's ways you can do it. You can do hiring freezes that you know, allows the top line numbers of employees to begin to actify without you know, laying folks off. You can do that. You can you can actually ship them to other needs, you know,

not goodness. There's what the great thing is is you create a strong economy under a Republican Donald Trump. And there's so much need out there that these places, these folks that are leaving the federal government they got other places, will go. Now they may feel entitled to these federal jobs, nobody's entitled to any job. I'm not entitled with this job. We got to.

I mean, I think there's going to be a lot of fights over how we do this, but I think we can This will be certainly a way to freeze agency growth, which has been a huge problem for our economy and for job creators out there over the last several decades. I would encourage that if any of you are going to talk about agencies, you would cut and if you have a list of three, you remember all three if forever on stage, Okay, I'll just say several. Yeah, they'll do the

Governor zoo lander excuse me, the Rick Perry thing. We call them governor zoo landers. So I think that's hilarious. All right, So we go through that. I mean, there's so much. I just have a few minutes, so you can hang out for about three four minutes. I'm not

going to go to break. I just have a few more questions. I just want to make sure because longer than usual, as I'm sitting there and I'm going through the Donald Trump stuff yesterday, there is a definitive set of opinions on what the rnc's platform right and the Trump's contract with America, and there's there are some folks that are would be the religious side of that who don't feel that they're being represented. I'm not going to say that it's all

of them, but there's a few who make a lot of noise. When you look at that and you see what's on there, do you think there's things that should have been on there? Do you think it's correct? Do you think it's too much? Where are you at well? When it comes through. I've got a sixteen page platform here in front of me that the RNC released yesterday. I haven't read every one of them, but I like they're pushing the life as you are absolutely essential to me and I imagine most

of your listeners out there. But what they're doing is they're really honoring Roe V. Wade and saying this is really up to the states. I think, let's remember that Donald Trump is not the only candidate on the ticket. He and his vice president. We've got folks from governor, We've got all these state house, state Senate races, all these Council of States, all

these matter. So I would say, let's take the focus of what they're looking at and let's push let's make sure we are focusing on these state and downballot elections, which are in the aggregate just as important as who's president. So I would say, let's let's make sure we understand what Rob Waite did, and that's push things back to the state. Therefore, we also need

to focus on those who are elected to state level offices. Yeah, no, no, you and I are on the same page, which, in my mind, the way that you deal with that is you literally include an item say uh, you know, and you say, thanks to this court ruling, this is now a state's issue. So let's concentrate our efforts there. And I think they could have done that, but they didn't, and that's I think what had people kind of curious. But I think it's a

fair compromise because it's correct. You can't lose sight of the fact that this is a state's issue, as many other things should be. Uh, and hopefully we'll be in the future. Yeah, the issue doesn't change in your in your mind and your heart and your personal convictions. You just have to focus on a different office to get those results. And then, finally, did you see the video of that F the F thirty five, the new one hovering over Miami Beach yesterday? No, I did not. I Can

I borrow one? You got? You got pull you got the right committees? Can I borrow They're only a single seater? Otherwise we both could go up. Well, then we'll be we'll borrow three because the Ross is gonna want to go so okay, all right, all right, well we'll work on that. All right. You just go ahead and get back to me whenever you got that, and then from from here on out you can send

your questions. All right, we'll strike a Boustian deal. Well do you remember the kid that saved up all those Petsy points and one that got there? Right? Oh? Go on Netflix, Yeah, up your soft dream points. Yeah, go on Netflix. There is a an amazing documentary. All I got a roll. Thank you so much, Senator, I do appreciate it. See ye, all right there you go. Look at that ross. We're all going we're all going flying today. Probably not. I

don't think that's going to pan out. Any who are break that'll pan out? Hang on. And it was Senator Chadowy, Senator Ted Buddy. It was the you know, politicians are like guys in radio. We just you know, there's one hundred other things we could do. If you ask a radio dude what happens if you get fired? It's one are the answers fast food? Like it doesn't mean that's where they're destined for but ross you've ever seen a radio guy who had confidence that he'd be fine if he lost his

gig. I haven't no note at all. No, it's it's dooming gloom and again a lot of times it goes over. I think why politicians think that, And I'm again, I'm just give it to you straight. It's time you just pick it on bud is because if you're a politician and and you lose your I can't tell you the number. And by the way,

there's some radio guys we're very resentful of this. I will judge it on a case by case basis, but there's a lot of there's a lot of talk radio gigs that are held by guys who did one under two terms in the House and and then got blown out and they go back to Elgin, Illinois or we you know, wherever, whatever mid market it is, and based on their name recognition, they hire that person, and then that person, and then that person is. Their show is nothing but them interviewing their

buddies. Right, eventually you turn into that anti trumper idiot. What's his I can't remember what the guy's name is because I purged it from my memory up there run around now endorsing Biden. You're like, I'm a Republican. You all don't know stuff at all. Radio guys are just like, I don't know, probably probably going salt putin and then take an elevator to the twentieth floor. I don't know. I mean you, I do have my

safety net though, you know, falls through. I'm gonna go into the spop thing no that past yeah, No, theatrical jousting, theatrical shousing. Yeah, like medieval times. Can you ride a horse? I cannot. I could, but I'm a I'm a quick learner. Yeah, I could teach you. I could teach because I used to have to. We get guys that come out of the most most guys are going to do a hunting

trip that actually evolves horses, generally for an elk trip like that. They're going to try to have some But you know, I've had people come out that I know and my and my thing was very clear. It was a list of five things don't if you do them, I can't protect you. And then you know, basic skills like this is where your feet go? Maybe I want to kind of you want to you want to elevate a little off the saddle, the horse ring, rub against stuff. It's not him

trying to kill you, it's him scratching sometimes, just little stuff. I'm not going to say. You know, any experience I've been on you know, you go to the state fair and they have the ponies that go in the circle. Yeah, I've been that's attached to something. So but I do see. But the reason I have an advantage is already have the armor and the the weaponry. Yes, no, you're, you're, you're, You're ninety percent of the way there. You just need the horse. So

yeah, it's really simple stuff and you're not gonna be violating this. Like the big thing. I'm like, if you fire around off this horse, you might die. This is not a Western None of these horses you can shoot off. Well, there was one you could because he was basically deaf. But I'm not gonna tell him that horses that you can fire a pistol or a rifle off of, you see in the movies, have an incredible amount of graining. This is why I'm going to like the Medieval times route,

because yes, crossbow is different than say like rooster cogbirds. Yes exactly. So I think you're gonna be in the clear there. And then the other thing is I would tell them these are some of the horses, and these are from more experience. I said, these are not These are not galloping through the perry through the prairie trying to outrun Pat Garrett horse. So if you keep giving him spur and he's not going, then that's your that's your max speed. You've hit And if you keep doing it, he's gonna

dump you so fast. And do you know the most expensive insurance that you have to hold if you're gonna do outfitting or hunting is not for the guns or the bears. It's for the horses. That's where the injuries happened. So you ever hear the story about how Clint Eastwood why he's so quiet on set? You've heard this? Yeah, I have heard this, but go ahelf. Yeah no, So he's been there. I can't remember what movie

he was on, but the actors were asking him. There was super weird because most directors right are like action and so Clinton Eastwood was the director and there were some scene in some city and every time he would say action, he would he would whisper it and they'd be like, oh, my god, are we supposed to go now? Now? Okay, we're gonna go now. And the reason he whispered it is because he started off on his set with horses. Yes, so you didn't want to yell right to get

the horses all crazy? Yep. Yeah, I joke about how I hate horses, and it's the part where you're young and you have to care for a bunch of them, but also where you have to break them or maintain ones that are partially broke, and it's just it seems a very thankless thing. So just to be clear in my position, but every year somebody they wouldn't necessarily shoot off of a horse. So the one guy did and he broke his leg and two ribs, I believe, and he was mad at

us. But they would shoot near the horse, and because I tell him, you don't shoot off of it and don't use the saddle as arrest, and most people would abide by it. But I can. I can totally teach you how to do that, man, but I'm I want the F thirty five stuff first, so I've kind of moved on, So we'll see if the Senator comes up with that. But yeah, man, there's no

gigs, the fallback gigs for politicians are endless. You know, look at Roy Cooper, but who by the way, he just vetoed his one hundred and one hundred and first bill and at first I thought he's just an idiot, but then I realized it's a record. He is setting a bar so high he will not be eclipsed. And then I saw people go, why don't you just do one hundred right? Well, one, it limits his

options and two did you see the Bernie Mac movie? You can't end on a round number in case mister asterisk shows up and now you're Bernie Mac trying to get a hit. What was that movie? Mister three thousand? Know why? That just popped into my head. And but they were talking about, you know, there's a lot of speculation. The Cooper was even floating his name as somebody who might be a vice president if Kamala moves over,

or potentially if they're both out as somebody and I don't understand that. But yeah, politicians have a little few more options because if not, then they just they can walk into a lobbying gig. Most I should say most of the lobbyists I've been around some groups of lobbyists and a lot of people there

have held public office, and that's you know, those relationships. There is value there, but also it looks pretty scummy to a lot of people because then it's just you know, it's just a boys club, so to speak at that point. So I don't know. And by the way, if Ray Cooper does go to Washington and they need a kid flipper offer, then his wife can have a job. So ross did I tell you I almost became a kid flipper offer before I was gonna, before I turned the dream

to radio. I wanted. I wanted to be the best kid flipper offer to ever emerge. I recall you mentioning that, like the first day it might have been the interview process here, I think, first, yeah, I was, I would not. Now you're not flipping kids like flipping houses. Or you get like one who's all he's got crubs, crumbs and jelly all over, right, and then you give him some roids and he's like super jacked. Yeah, you clean his face and then you're like, ah,

look at this kid down and they profit. Yeah. No, I mean like kid where you flip them off and then that's it because that's what she did, but it technically was a family with kids, but does that matter? But yeah, no, I wanted to be the best kid flipper offer in the West, and unfortunately I had to do the radio thing. But what are you gonna do? You can dream raised agic from the weather channel. Did you ever want to be a kid flipper offer instead of a

weather guy? Or oh yo, yeah, yo yo. Do you ever want to be a kid flipper offer instead of a weather guy? Or what? Oh wow? No? Yeah, you just flip kids off all day man? Because the person who no, no, no, I said, actually I I had a confession, and initially I want to be a kid flipper offer. Uh and and then I was forced into the radio. So here you are. The rest is history. Yeah, blew out my blew out my knee, and that was it. No pros for me. I

blew out my middle finger. It was yeah, flip kids off. No, he's never recovered. It's said, yeah, no, I the cross off and he laughs and and it just flips the whole thing on me. It's it's it's just it's so bad. Yeah, I'm flipping it right now. Yeah, well yeah, I appreciate that. Yeah, yeah, well all right, you're probably going to a lot of people. Probably not.

Yeah, we may later in the week there could be a front getting in here that'll be attached to what's left of Barrel, which will be a depression. And I don't know. I think as soon as we get into maybe some dryer air, especially central parts of the state and west, the humidity is going to come back and lingering rain in the forecast end of the week, as we may see some of the moisture come up from the south rather than from the northwest, which is where Barrel will pass. So this afternoon

it's just isolated stuff, shower, thunderstorm here and there. It's more about the heat and humidity a little bit nineties, with heat and diseased between as high as one oh five to maybe one ten for the Triangle Triad, not quite that hobbit, still above one hundred and most of the Triad actually and the heat advisory also into the mountains no heat advisory now the high human one tomorrow a little bit nineties again, feeling about one on average, and then

we'll see the rain chances go once again fairly low, but then they'll creep up as we look ahead toward Thursday and Friday with rain and thunderstorms around, especially the further east you go. This could be a week lower disturbance coming out up the coast, which may bring into some better chances brain, which could keep temperatures down into the mid eighties by Friday. So it's not that we're going to lose the humidity, but we may lose some of the extreme

air temperatures. But I really don't see much relief here over the next few days and for the rest of the week. But the rain chance is going up and needed rain after the drought conditions now that have developed across the state. Okay, thank you, sir, do appreciate it. Have a good one. Yep, Yeah, no, Ross, you got so bad after he blew out my middle finger. Now all I do, and it's pure

amateur animal flipp er offer. I just I couldn't compete, and mostly just my neighbour's dog, which who's insane, both of them, the dog and the neighbor. I know you're shocked, and we'll never shut up. Gotta I'm going all al Bundy here man, So we'll take a break. Be right back, and Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News is not going to know what to do with all this time? What's up there? I'll do my best. Good morning, Casey. Stock started the week with a mixed session.

The Nasdaq was up three tenths percent yesterday. The S and P five hundred closed a tenth of a percent higher. Both indexes settled at record highs. The Dow closed down a tenth of a percent. Looks like that pattern could continue this morning. S and P futures are up nine points, Nasdaq futures are up fifty seven. Dow futures are down three. Investors maybe a little bit wary about Paramount globals agreement to merge with Skydance Media. Paramount shares fell

more than five percent yesterday. David Ellison, who will be running the combined company, says he envisions Paramount as a media and tech hybrid. Wall Street's going to be tuned to Washington today. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell will go before the Senate Banking Committee to talk about interest rates and other monetary issues. He'll be back on Capitol Hill tomorrow. He'll brief the House Financial Services Committee.

Small business owners little more upbeat. Last month, the National Federation of Independent Business sentiment index rose more than expected. In June, the NFIB's polling found there's still some pessimism about the outlook for business conditions, but the share of firms expecting the economy to worsen is the smallest in three years. A lot of Americans charged up their credit cards in May. The federal reserves as consumer borrowing rose by nearly eleven and a half billion dollars for the month.

That was a much bigger than expected increase, the biggest increase in the three months. The Federal Aviation Administration has ordered airlines to inspect the oxygen generators on

more than twenty six hundred Boeing seven thirty seven jets. The agency has received a lot of reports about the generators slipping out of position that could prevent them from operating properly and providing oxygen in an emergency, and the case of former Nike executives coming out of ret hirement to help the sneaker maker get its sales back on track. Bloomberg has seen an internal memo announcing that Tom Petty is

returning as vice president of Marketplace Partners. Peddy worked at Nike for thirty years before retiring in twenty twenty he'll come back to oversee Nike's partnerships and try to mend fences with retailers. Casey, I have his Damn the Torpedoes album. Yes, well this is Peddie. I thought of that too. It's not as exciting, all right, Well, thank you appreciate it. Okay. He doesn't live like a refugee either. Okay, Well, it would be amazing. I would ask him to sign that album, just to see if

he'd do it. I'd be like, hey, hey, Tom Petty's Tom Petty. What do you want? All right, thank you? So, okay, have a good day. Yeah,
