I kind of churned through. You know, some of it's just scan and passed. But the amount of I was watching. I was watching some police videos this morning for no good reason. Just happened to be. I just I fell into that rabbit hole. And I find myself doing that, and then I find myself reading other stories stuff that did make it into the stack. And it becomes very difficult if by design, as you read through all of this,

to not get a little conspiratorial on stuff. Okay, and just because it's a conspiracy doesn't mean it's not true. And and and we can recognize that conspiracy can be a word that simply is that is that you are correct about something that is not fully flushed out yet. So let me give you would be a good example of what we well, Russ is just telling me something off the air, right right. And and here we had

the story yesterday with Janet Jackson. So if you don't remember, Janet Jackson made a comment during an interview, and I don't have it in front of me, but basically the comment was, oh, okay, all right, all right. And so the comment was some along the lines of I heard she referring to Kamala Harris. I heard that she was Indian. I heard her. I and it's very important here, she says, I heard, I heard, and it's it's it's it's pretty innocuous. I heard she was Indian. Somebody said that her father

was white. Okay, Janet is literally repeating what somebody told her, and that's it. She doesn't dwell on it, she doesn't go any further into it. And then everyone got upset with her. And then some moonbat pretended to be her spokesperson, pretended to be her spokesperson, posted something on social media that looked kind of like an official statement apologizing, and Janet then had to speak up and go, I don't know who the hell that is. That's that's that's not

They don't speak for me. I don't even know who that is. My my manager is Randy Jackson, for her brother, and so the only official statements come from him. And and then that was it. That was the whole I guess a statement that she made. I would say the second statement, but it's the only legitimate one. And then she didn't apologize, and everyone was very upset. And so we did that story yesterday. But do you know why

this whole thing may have come to pass? See, that's the rest of the story, right, And I saw people formulating conspiracies. I saw that the way that they wrote about Randy Jackson, they wrote her her actual spokesperson is Randy Jackson, who has a history of putting out crazy stuff or whatever. I can't remember how they worded it, but they, you know, they undercut him in the thing.

And then I had to go instead of now researching why Janet thought that, you know, or who told her that, or if there's anything going on now I'm trying to figure out, well, wait a sec, this did I don't remember Randy Jackson story. I remember the whole family is interesting, okay, right, the whole you know, the whole story of the uh you know, the the dad and when they were kids and the way that the father treated them up to obviously the the oddities of Michael and Janet and uh

and and Tito and LaToya. Remember what remember what a what a absolute dumpster fire it was when LaToya decided she wanted to show everyone everything and do that Playboy thing back in the day, and that really, I mean that was really an era.

Drew Barrymore. It's gonna disturb some of you the amount of working knowledge I have here, but you know Drew Barrymore, right, very very wholesome image there. And she decided, look, I'm not that kid from et no more and she was not. I will I will second that, and various others also, and you still have some of this today. If you got fifteen minutes of fame or you were part of a story, it could be the most horrific story possible.

You would you would you would go and you do a Playboy spread or maybe a video would drop or whatever. I mean, let's let's face it. Tanya Harding and Amy Fisher both did things that was just that was what was going on there. So and and I kind of pivoted over to this because you have all of this stuff to turn from as to what may be the history that brought this about. Now we go a step further here on the show, all right, and that is we wanted some context on this. So I looked up

the Randy Jackson thing. Do you know what Randy jack Do you know what Randy Jackson's crazy stuff that he put out there? He people who embrace Satanism and and use demonic and satanic imagery, that's the crazy. He said that there are people in the music industry that are all in on the satan stuff, whether it's portrayed that way or whether they actually are. That might be the

truest statement ever. Do you know the Mayor of New York's Buddy is under investigation right now for a music video that I guess he had some hand in helping to set up. That was filmed in a Catholic church that is shock full of the Satan stuff. As you can imagine that rubs some Catholics the wrong way. And it's it's done absolutely with the imagery Sam Smith, and you don't look. You can go back, you know, the Rob Zombie study, and it doesn't mean that I think

that they're at home practicing it. On the flip side, I think the funniest thing is when we get a glimpse of somebody who attempts to portray that image when they don't think that people are watching being really, really normal. Do you remember that story in Florida of the the heavy metal I can't remember the name of the band, but you had some dude who was in like a super duper like screamy death metal band and like what

did he do? He ended up burning his own house down, and you go and see his house and it's like white picket fence city man or Pazuzu, Lord of the Demons the famous story from Clemens. If you haven't been here for about ten years, you probably don't remember this. So this dude and his girlfriend apparently took turns killing people and then buried the bodies in the yard. And I think it was he killed first and then she

killed so to gain trust or whatever. But there's this video when they actually raided their house and Clemens, yes that Clemens, right right here in the Triad, raided his house. And they go in and the first room, you know, like the main room is exactly what you think, right. You got pentagrams, you got black candles, you got all this stuff you'd set up. And they're going room by room and it's more and more disturbing, and they're in the hallway and they open this closet and it is

perfectly organized. It looks it looks like an absolute neat freak lives there, and it's clearly her stuff. And I don't know why, but I just found it hilarious that you live in the you know, you live in a hellscape in the rest of your house, quite literally by design. And yet she's like, that's my closet, that's my space, and it looks like a professional organizer had come in there. I find all of this stuff hilarious. So no, Randy Jackson is not crazy to sit there and say that

that's a thing. And as far as the the story I was referring to, I don't know this artist, and I guess that makes me old, but I don't care. I'm not I'm not familiar with her, with her work. I know she's a big deal and for many of you, you probably have kids who are into this Sabrina Carpenter. I don't know any of her songs. Maybe I do. I'm sure I've probably heard it if she's really really popped it ross. Do you know any songs by Sabrina

Carpenter or anything about her? I feel like this is my absolutely nun Yeah, dude, like I feel like you and I used to have at least a passing understanding of artists, but both coming from music. You work music a lot longer than I did, but or at least that type of music. I did country for a very long time. But I don't know anything about Sabrina Carpenter. But I know that she went into a church in

Brooklyn and she's wearing a black dress. Basically, nothing of the black skirt, nothing underneath, and the imagery of the whole thing is is very very dark. In fact, in the video, which features a scantly clime reading the description a scantly clad carpenter dancing in the church next to a cough and emblazoned with rip B word and a bunch of other stuff. Now there's a whole investigation over this, dude. I'm not gonna get into the full details of that story.

I don't even know if I'll do it, but I wanted to passively mention it. So Randy Jackson is is, That's what's going on here, right, But he's dead on and again. So for whatever reason, and I guess I'm assuming because it hurts Kamala a little. They have to sit there and the reporter's got to make a snipe about what's going on. So why did this whole thing start? I'll tell you why this thing started. So Ross has brought this to my attention. We got the okay, we

got the audio. All right, check this out. This is why apparently there's beef with the Jackson family.

And I am certain of that. He loved children. He'd play with my son Eric and my son Donald, and he'd just play with them forever. He loved children. But he was not a child molester. And you know, that whole final saga of Neverland and the police and what they did was I think a very very very bad part of Michael's life.

I mean, remember, we had a lot of different stuff.

was yet another reason why. And it had to do with the document that part of a court filing and understand understandably, so that was insta public and some folks have noted some differences between this incident and another one. I'll fill you in next hang on, maybe somebody can help it make sense. And I saw people go, well, one is a federal investigation and the other one was a state investigation, so you know, different rules, different laws.

And here's the deal. That's not true. The part that they are one is a federal thing and one was a state thing, is correct. I'm referring to the second attempt in a very short period at assassinating the former President Trump, mister Ruth Routh whatever, don't care, don't care to learn his name. I hope you put him in general, pop,

let's see what happens. And of course the transhooter down at in Tennessee, at the Christian school there, and specifically things that you know, documents that they have created, because obviously you remember getting the manifesto was immediately barred. In fact, people lost their jobs for sharing pictures of I think what four pages or something that that that was its

own big investigation. And the reasoning that we were told at the time is this document is incendiary and if people read it, it will cause the potential for harm to members of the LGBTQ community. That was the narrative, and they fought tooth and nail to not release it. And then once they released it, it was as backcrap insane as you thought it was going to be. But how they thought it was going to spur that on was beside me. It was about not putting it out

there because not because you feared for somebody's safety. It was not putting it out there because you feared how it could change people's perception of a hot button issue. So that's not a conspiracy. And you couldn't convince me otherwise because I wouldn't believe you that was propaganda ish without putting the propaganda out. Now we have a document that was reportedly penned by the guy who was able to lay in wait for hours on the Marlaco golf course in what they referred to as a blind spot.

Would they refer to as a blind spot? There, Well, a whoopsie, right, And thankfully he didn't get a chance to shoot at the former president, but I think he would gladly and we'd be right back here having a very different conversation. And he wrote to document, and in the document he talks about how he was he's offering one hundred and fifty thousand dollars bounty to quote finish the job. That document was released. It was part of a filing and and by the way it's it's correctly

part of a filing. What they were filing was documents. So at a bail hearing, the judge wouldn't give him bail. They said, look here he is not only is he not remorseful, he wrote this hoping that somebody would then help him carry out what was what he was attempting to do, which is an assassination. So yes, you do include that, but there are mechanisms within the federal government. And I didn't just go I'm not a lawyer, Ross. Would you check and make sure I'm not a lawyer.

I don't want people thinking I'm a lawyer.

over a variety of stories. Hell, they won't give Congress information from some of these agencies. So I don't want to hear that. Do you ever see the movie Swat? Ross? Everse Swatted? Not the TV show but the movie. I'm trying to think who all was in that movie? It was, Oh, the Irish actor was the main dude in that, Colin Farrell. Colin Ferrell, Yeah, I have not seen it, Okay, So basically it's it's about la swat. It's it's it's a I don't want to say it's a cheesy, but it's

you know, it's a it's an action thrill. It's good. It's okay.

he's super he's the baddest of batties. And they arrest him and there's a scene where they're moving him to a transport vehicle and at a prison or into a prison from a transport vehicle and he's got a walk which is totally unrealistic, as anyone in law enforcement knows. You guys, you guys, what is it? You guys have

a sally port usually probably for this reason. But in the movie, they've got to move him like I don't know, one hundred feet and there's crowds and there's like horned up women cheering and stuff, and the media is there, and he turns to the camera and says, I will offer I don't know, some stupid number, like one hundred million dollars for anyone who gets me out of here, and they put him in there. Well as you can imagine, then the plot point is everyone who wants the bounty.

And I won't tell you who's all in on it, but it's you know, if you're just looking for to turn your brain off for two hours and watch stuff blow up, go watch it. So like that premise has already you know, that's a premise that already exists. You're telling me that nobody within the federal government thought to themselves if we put a we're doing the swap thing, it's maybe not one hundred million dollars, but a one

hundred and fifty thousand. You don't think there's lunatics that would look at that and go all right, I hate the guy anyway, or more importantly, the famous factor for it, because now you're the guy who's attached to the other high profile thing. Now will something come of it? Hopefully not. But they've just tried to kill the dude twice, wounding him once. What happened to Aerin on the side of caution for this? Now would people be screaming about not

all of his dogs coming out of there? Yes, but there's a way to explain it, and some people aren't going to believe it, but it is. It is the appropriate use of what's going on. Well, you saw in Tennessee was not appropriate use that was that was politics, man,

And you go ahead and release this thing. How do you how do you and everyone involved in this, from the judge to the lawyers, How about the lawyers for the government who are prosecuting this guy, whose job, for all practical purposes is to is to prosecute this so that the threat's not there, but also we prosecute as a deterrent. So you want to prosecute as a deterrent. Now, granted you're dealing with people who would shoot a president or a former president, deterrens may not work with them.

I understand that, but you got to err on that side of caution, and yet you release the thing. How do you not bear responsibility if something happens, let's say hypothetically, Let's say yet hypothetically. I was, all right, Ross, I want to start something hypothetically called the Big We'll call it the Big Boo Bonus. Okay, all right, the Big Boo Bounty. All right, I'm the Big Boo Bounty. Now. The Big Boo Bounty hypothetically is, if you go to an event and see Tom Tillis speaking, you boo him.

That's it. That's the totality of it. And I don't have a sponsor attached to this, but I have some ideas and the prize will be a sausage biscuit. All right, the Big Boo Bounty. You think I couldn't get one of you yahoo's to go boo Tom Tillis, Senator slender Man, of course they could, and you do it for a sausage biscuit, admit it.

People like stuff. Getting stuff free stuff is amazing. In fact, some of you, some of you like it so much that secretly we call you a prize pig because you're always winning every contest and you'll come up and bum rush other people like So one hundred and fifty thousand is no change. By the way, there is no big boo bounty. I'm not buying you sausage biscuits, but I could, and I think it would be successful. And that's again such a minor example. And we're talking about obviously speech

versus violence. And I want to be very clear here, but if you don't care, or if you're desperate one hundred and fifty thousand dollars, whether you think the guy can pay it or not, because I saw that reactionally, well he couldn't afford it. Well, people hearing that they don't know what this guy's banking situation is. They don't know if he's got they don't know if he's got friends.

that power. But he could go on stage and say, hey, go in Munashlatsky's and he's gonna have some crazy fan that's gonna go in Munashlatsky's because it's just the way it works out.

somebody who's dealing with some severe mental health issues. Uh, some of which may bolster people's opinion that they're you know, based on suicide rates and a variety of other things that the current politically correct course of treatment versus the old politically correct course of treatment, which very different, are very different. Because one was an identifiable psychological condition within the handbook, and now you're told the other ones not.

It makes people think they may have been right the first time. I'm not down. People are negotiating. There is no sausage biscuits, so I'm not giving you two. If you want a sausage biscuit, go get one.

four percent declared margins. You're telling me within that one hundred and seventy applied to a population of you know, adults voting to adults, you're telling me one of those lunatics, isn't like yeah, man, not a chance. And the fact that it didn't cross your mind is why people why people wanted, you know, or a wonder I should say what exactly the three letter agencies are up to and the DOJ And remember this is Mary Garland's prosecution. At the end of the day, that's where the buck stops.

And he went ahead and I'm sure I am positive is at the very least getting briefed on this case. If you're the ag one of the meetings, you're taking his updates on the attempted assassination of a former president or president for that matter. It's too high level. So yeah, people are going to have conspiracy theories. And I understand why because you make it so damn easy.

I don't know where everyone's head's at. I mean, there's a lot of possibilities here. And as I've pointed out, ninety nine percent of what they've thrown at Mark Robinson, if it's true, is incredibly embarrassing. Is I think we'll be troubling for some voters even if that's you know, even with the idea that people change, and you know that may be a deep enough knife for his political opponents.

The problem you run into is this you have, this emanates from CNN, and CNN has proven itself not to be a fair arbiter of news, because remember, it's not always just what's in there, but it's what is chosen to be covered and not covered. And it's very clear that if you're a Republican politician, they're going to go

full on. Josh Stein was on Madow last night and his I'm not going to play all of his dumb audio, but basically he was out there saying that every Republican in North Carolina endorsed Mark Robinson and also now they

refuse to change, which isn't true. I believe the what is it the treasure the GOP treasurer candidate, has raised some concern and I think people's concern will be raised because you had a bunch of staff exodus from his campaign and one of the reasons that is reported and again this you know, anything that Ril and CNN puts out,

I need to see another source. I'm not joking. If I see a story that is not your not a generic story, but one that is political and has ramifications with that, you can bet your butt I'm going to go look for another one, especially if there is a hotly contested number or quote or something like that they have relegated themselves to a that status when I'm putting my prep together, because I simply don't believe them. And it doesn't mean that ninety percent of what they put

out isn't correct. It is, but when you get into the really, really tense stuff, I don't believe them enough to take their word for it. I think a lot of people are there, and that's their own fault, by the way, and I'm not some weird conspiracy person. I think that the vast majority of what I see the main networks put out, if I will, I have no problem quoting here, assigning where it came from, but quoting it.

You know, NBC News reported this, and I know what you're saying, MSNBC is NBC and all that, but they're not. They are in some stuff. You know, yesterday I saw all of the news agencies ms NBC, NBCABC, CBS running big breaking news banners about how the crime rates down and linking to the FBI numbers. And if you remember, this was literally just a thing that was part of the Trump versus Harris back and forth here recently where

Trump said, no, that's not true. And the reason he said it's not true is because there are other arbiters of crime statistic gathering that disagree with the FBI numbers, And the reason they do is because the FBI numbers don't include literally thousands of municipalities reporting. Now, that doesn't mean that those numbers are fully excluded, because people still have to go to court or victims are still going to access one of the services available for victims, even

for victims of crimes that are not solved. And if you start to gather all those points of data and then you compare it in municipalities where you're lacking data, you can start to get a picture of what they're dealing with. So while you can take individual cities that are reporting, you can go ahead and try to compare a year over year, but to look at it from a statewide standpoint, a region wide standpoint, or a national standpoint,

you're missing a lot of data points. And also, even if they are reporting, it's very easy not to charge people for stuff. Right, do you think that in the state of California from ten years ago to now they think retail theft is down? Some municipalities not reporting could give you that picture in some places, but obviously we know that's not the case, it's that you made a decision years ago that if it wasn't over one thousand dollars,

it wasn't worth your time. And that's why people are in there with a damn calculator trying to figure this stuff out. So, yeah, yeah, you got you got yourself a breaking news story that was a political football where you're coming out like, oh, look at the stuff we just found and we're gonna take it, and you're not doing any critical thinking about well, is it is this apples to apples comparison, and if you look at it you realize that it's not. It doesn't mean that it's wrong.

Once you've gathered all of it, it may very well be down. I think that some I think you'd have a hard time convincing me, especially as some did you see the video from Philadelphia Ross? Did you see that video I posted last night? And I just made a joke about how the new Joker movie looks good. It's on the it's on our Twitter timeline at Casey on the radio, and it's it looks like it looks like that the end scene from the movie, the the original

Joker movie. It is absolutely insane. And remember these are the people that murdered Hitchbot, So you know, keep in mind that's that will that will always be one of my favorite callback stories ever. If you guys don't know what Hitchbot was. Hitchbot was this this uh pie in the sky rainbows in Unicorn moon, bad experiment to prove the goodness of people, which is fun. Look here's the thing. I don't think you set out to do that because

you're a bad person. I think you're I think you're a very ignorant person, right, And I don't think it'll serve you well in all aspects of life. And I'm looking out for you when I tell you it ain't that way. But perhaps a valuable lesson was was figured out. They built this robot and it's a goofy looking robot. It looks like it looks like the robot kind of from like Futurama. I can't remember that robot's name, but

like it's a it's clear it's the robots. And I made it look human, look like Bender, A little bit like Bender, didn't it.

prove the goodness of others. Where are you going? I'm trying to get to San Francisco or whatever and so and so. Then people would transport and it made it a little ways down on ninety five, and then somebody who was kind enough to haul it to Philadelphia left it on Kensington Avenue. If you've ever if you are remotely familiar with Kensington, you ever see the video where they go down the street and all the people on drugs are hunch They're like laying hunched over, yet somehow

still standing. One of the videos you see a lot is Kensington Avenue. It's a crazy, dangerous, drug fueled, prostitution ridden place in Philadelphia. It's a really and I didn't even realize how bad it was, except I got a buddy who was raised in Philadelphia, and I brought it up one time to ask how bad it really was because it was in a story, and he just started laughing. He's like, dude, dude, it's literally it's it's literally the

worst place, a most abandoned place. And by the way, that dude's a liberal my friend there and even he's like, oh, no, you know, kill it with fire, like it's it's so awful. Anyways, they left Hitchbot down there, and Hitchbot was immediately taken into an alley and destroyed, you know, with the goodness of people. I don't know if they were trying to find copper in there or what was going on, but

Hitchbot will always be one of my favorite stories. So anyway, we got a little little sidetrack there, so let's let's go ahead and get back over to the Mark Robinson stuff. So one of the things that is being reported as to why staff members may have left, I think is a legitimate point if it's true, and we're gonna hear from Mark. I got some audio here for you, and that was that he would not agree to bringing in basically digital forensic people to figure out the you know

all that CNN story. Now you can think he doesn't have an obligation to, but that would be you not paying attention to how impactful this is going to be to his campaign. Doesn't matter whether it's fair or not. That's that's what's out there. And I know a lot of people have already sent him emails this morning. Are you saying you but no, here's what I'm telling you. I am giving you what is happening here. But am I more likely to believe that there might be something

up if the individual refuses to investigate? Yes? I think that was a very powerful story. So I think that the new folks around Mark probably said that to him because and he has said it on this show. Going back to the stuff with his wife, he's got lawyers, they have some receipts and they're going to get it out there. And to that, I would say, you need to get it out there. If you got receipts on your wife's stuff or on the on this digital stuff,

you need to get it out there. And if staff members around you feel that you're not doing that and they quit, it's going to be far more injurious than just CNN writing a story. You can argue all day with me, but I'm not giving you the political take. I'm keeping you in real vill Okay. People see that, and I think that it could be convincing to them.

So if it's not true, and you have receipts and you want to and I understand it can be very difficult on the digital stuff, you have to you have to go out and you need to start pushing back on this stuff and it and it's I get it. You don't want to be drugged down into this. Nobody does.

But this is where we are now. And I'm telling you, as somebody who's been doing this for a long time, it's the only way you're going to start putting yourself back towards the w call them and if I don't know, if we haven't confirmed for his interview tomorrow, I will tell this to him. And I don't tell it to

him to be CNN on him. I tell him because I get a lot of takes, a lot of emails, and I've seen a lot of elections over the years, as many of you have too, and if you take an honest assessment of it, watching those closest to an individual walk away from them is very powerful, whether it's family that refuses to support somebody who's accused of a crime, or in this case, a politician that is having all the mud thrown at them but hasn't yet successfully dodged

any of it. So that's that's where people need to at this point be proactive, okay. And one of the ways, and this is I think a I think this is a good step. One of the ways that you can be proactive in addition to proving that the information's false is also what Mark talked about yesterday.

whether it's true or not. It's explaining what's happening right now and what's happening right now is not good for Mark's campaign and if he hopes to accomplish those things that he feels passionate about, opioid deaths, which are a big problem in North Carolina. A lot of the drug related stuff that he's talked about is a big problem. Obviously when you watch what transpired during all of the COVID stuff, that's a big problem. I expect whoever the

next governor is. I don't think Josh Stein will do it, but I think whoever the Republicans get in their next along with the legislature, they need to make that not a thing anymore. These are all things that are only achievable if you're in office and if you have the people around you who don't feel that you're confident enough or you're actually attempting to fight back as effectively as possible. It doesn't matter whether they think it's true or not.

It puts a perception out there and it's not a positive one for voters. So I'm just I'm giving you the straight dope, no pun intended over the other thing. That's how it is. If you think I'm wrong, please let's have a respectful conversation about this. But I'm not wrong. I am correct. And if you are going to sue CNN and you're going to be successful with it, then you need to be able to prove that what they

reported was not true. And so either road requires you to have a digital forensic analysis, an attempt to do this, an attempt to gather that information and show that this was Do I think that somebody could do this? Yes, absolutely do I think somebody could fabricate something like that. They'd have to be really, really, really good, but I think they could. But also, I'm not a tech genius, okay, but I'm a very good observer of how human nature works.

And the way that human nature works is if people are not seeing quote unquote receipts coming back, it starts to make them question things, and maybe they don't vote for the other guy, but they don't vote at all. We'll be back and a one hundred and fifty thousand dollars bounty. And then that's just put out there into the public record by the same folks who argued that you couldn't put out the trans manifesto in Nashville because it might it could potentially bring harm to members of

the LGBTQ community. And if you believe that, that's fine, but you can't look at this and think otherwise. No, it's pure politics. Man. All right, let's let's give me yelled at for a while. Donna, what's up?

right now, like your blood. But you go to that checkout thing and watch that number, It just it kills you. And and he pulls one hundred dollars out of his pocket and then it kind of like hands it to the woman over her shoulder and says, here you go, when I'm in when i'm in office, I'll do this from the light house, you know, applying that he'll help bring grocery prices down.

on behind closed doors. We know this goes on and they're human just like us.

ahead and do this. Right, he's broken down so many norms, we can go ahead with his next norm and and break it down and say, hey, if if if Nancy Bilosi and her husband like to do their thing, let them do it. You know what I'm saying, don't don't shame before. I'm not saying that they'd been shame. I'm just saying somebody like.

I don't want to know. So we'll get more call only that Jamal's going to all right, hang on, Jamal, we'll get to your call here in just a moment. Ray stagic from the Weather Channel. Well you got to say this. At least you aren't the Jags, So there's that.

little drier. But this heavier rainfall thunder lighting Franklin County, Wake County, and the Durham County going east and then more on the way scattered showers thunder showers today and tomorrow, not with our tropical system, but again it looks like further west, as we get into Thursday and Friday, we'll continue to see the rain increasing in intensity and coverage from what will be a weakening tropical storm, so Triad

west into the Mountain's heaviest rainfall triangle. I still think some of the question is going to be how much next day or two casey, we still have got plenty of time to talk about it. But this morning. We do have some impactful rain coming through the triangle right now, going east.

you some really awful ones. Because they are crazy. Remember they threw a baby off the top of a building and then also they killed all the puppies, all the puppies in the village because a dog had eaten a baby monkey. And they're very, very retaliatory. This is going to be the feel good, insane bands of roving monkeys in India stories. So we'll have that for you in just a few minutes, so we can, I don't know, put some happy thoughts in your head. Let me grab

a call on the Robinson stuff. Let's go Jamal, what's going on?

You know what for people to say, oh, he just needs to suit the press, that is the biggest bunch of garbage for people who know it is impossible to sue the Prins. Look at Nicholas saying, man, they live on him. They said he was harassing the Native American. Look what happened to him people and some people on seeing then actually bragged that he only got three hundred thousand dollars and they weren't supposed to ruin his life.

Look what they did for George Zimmerman. Through this day, people believe what Andrea Mitchell said that George Zimmerman said he was black and he getting and they edited the take. He didn't get anything. So from when I hear people, especially Republican on the Democrats saying, Democrats know the press has always been corrupted, been on their side because if there hadn't been Ted Kennedy would have been thrown out

of the Senate a long time ago. Look what they did for President Trump when it comes to the.

to climb. That being said, when you see staff members leaving Mark Robinson, a half dozen or eight or whatever the number is now, and you see a quote from one of them saying he wouldn't go, and he he didn't seem as though he wanted to hire proper investigators to determine how this information, which he claims is false, came to be. Don't you do you believe that that is impactful on voters and is a negative to his vote?

that was the case. That's what I'm asking you, know about a minute. Do you think that that is impactful? Whether it's true or not, it's the perception.

the monkeys. You have tourists that think they're nice only to get their face eaten, which you know, we had our own face eating primate story here. But no, this is like, it's crazy, but there's not too many happy stories until now I found And it's insane like all the rest, but at least it's happy. According to the Times of India, a troop of monkeys attacked a man. Well you think you're thinking, what's good about that? Happen to be a man who was attempting to sexually assault

a six year old child. Yeah, that's right. According to the report, the man was seen on CCTV leading the child, who is six, down a lane in Bogpot near New Delhi over the weekend. The suspect then proceeded to pull her into an abandoned house and was undressing her and you know, going down that road. But as the girl was screaming or is this just the child? I guess it does say it's a girl. Yeah, it is a girl, okay.

As the little girl started screaming, what happened next? A troop of local monkeys saw this, and again, so much of this stuff with monkeys interacting with people has to do with kids. Like the reason that one of these monkeys grabbed a human baby was because one of the monkeys had their babies injured or killed. I can't remember what triggered it by a human like, that's some that's

some dark stuff, man. In this case, they hear this six year old screaming for help, so they come down and the entire pack of primates jumps on this dude all at once. Now they're not big enough to kill him, but he stopped what he was doing and ran the hell out of there. The child then recounted the story of the monkeys to her family, which she you know, she booked it from their home, and investigators started looking

into it. They had some of the CCTV footage. Sadly there's not you can't see the monkeys attacking this guy. But they also now know who the guy is, so they are investigating. Although the suspect has not yet been caught. They haven't they haven't identified him officially, but they do have CCTV footage that clearly shows who he is, so we shall see. But yeah, see, I had to do it because usually these stores orries are horrendous, and now

you've got little packs of crime fighting monkeys. I don't know how that squares with the other monkeys throwing puppies and stuff, but you know, maybe that's a good group of monkeys want to have around. I think people will probably be feeding them for a while. And I don't even have to get into the sexual assault stuff in India.

It's just it's it's really really dark over there. But now that there's monkeys involved, we thought we'd throw it in, all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So one of the ways that the Harris campaign has decided that they're going to run this race is that when there is tough questions or questions that require specifics, they're not letting Harris go out and do it. You send a surrogate, right, You send somebody who's polished

on this. Is is A is A is A seasoned orator, has good recall of numbers and facts, and also has the ability to either schmooze who the interviewer is if you think it's going to be a contentious interview, or take full advantage of softball safe interviews and you go and you do all of these things, and you act as a surrogate. This is what they would call them,

a surrogant. And if your candidate's not being made available, desperate news stations who got time to fill, especially the twenty four hours, they're going to go ahead and bring these cats on. And then you get somebody who gets to make an argument for a Harris thing, a position or a point or a controversy or whatever it is, without Harris ever having to adjust it because you or address it because you know how bad she's going to be at it. The problem is you couldn't even get

that right yesterday. What are you doing? This might be the worst official campaign surrogate interview I've seen in a long time. But unfortunately, I think the woman slightly handicapped by the fact that she doesn't have specifics on this

stuff right. There's no I know that there's some stuff on her website now, but for the most part, you ask a Kamala Harris supporter specifically on a particular issue what their candidate is going to do, they couldn't answer because I couldn't answer, And I look for the stuff because I want to know. Not in any specifics. You can get into generic stuff. And don't get me wrong, She's not the first politician to be cagey or generic

about some things. But generally they also have some very specific things, even if it's recycled standard boilerplate party stuff and you just don't have this here. So imagine my surprise when I see this woman, this surrogate for a Kamala Harris show up on Fox News yesterday and the following ninety seconds takes place. Are you sitting down? You should be sitting down Harris's plan?

grocery prices. All right, fair enough. You know Trump was handing one hundred dollars, and he made a point to touch on it yesterday. So let's hear what the person whose only job is to sound composed and intelligent on an issue so that their their candidate doesn't have to come out. Let's hear how that went. What is Harris's plan?

Because for every action there's a reaction, right, and so sometimes a lot of times politicians do stuff and then it has this horrible, horrible outcome and you just made it worse. It's kind of human nature, man, So what does it specifically? What does that look like? Is the question? Not just does she have a plan? But I'm sorry, continue, maybe we're going to get into specifics here. Sure is that happening?

you're not privy to whether grocery prices or gouge? What do you mean you're not privy? Ross? Are you privy to increase grocery prices? Are you on the are you in the inner loop?

you can't do colluding. That's a big one because the allegation that tends to go along with gouging is all the cereal manufacturers got together in a smoke filled room somewhere and went, Haha, peasants, let's all add a dollar to the price of our cereal. That would be currently illegal in the United States. That would be that would be collusion. In fact, if you just took our training, Rosta,

didn't you just take our training? I believe they address it in our iHeart training about not colluding with our competition. So like, I'm aware of that, you're aware of that. But that's not what they're saying here. They're using a non fixable thing to say price gouging. Well, how do

you fix that? Well, if your cost of your product goes up more than ten percent in one year, well what happens If the main ingredient of our product is unattainable, then we have to pay four times the cost for it, and it's ninety you know, ninety percent of the manufacturing cost. Could that person raise their price more than ten percent, they'd have to to keep it viable. Now, the whole thing is just And then when she gets her cornered and she wasn't even attempting to corner her. That's the

even crazier part. She wasn't even attempting to corner her. But once they go ahead and get her quote unquote cornered on it, she as a reflex pulls out that I'm a woman card and you're attacking me. It's one of the craziest thing, even though she's talking to a woman. What the heck are we talking about here? Anyway? Look, sometimes it's just a case like if you are I don't know who the US distributor is. There's a rum,

not the cheap Caribbean cruise rum that you drink. I'm talking a good, high end rum that I actually like. It's called Santa Teresa. I can't get it anymore. I can, but it's hard to find, and it's getting harder because it's made in Venezuela.

But the point is, though there's reasons why people greatly increase those prices because free market economy, the supply is obviously it's really hard to get right now because Venezuela is Venezuela, and these are these are market conditions that exist, and her plan doesn't account for this, but it should account for what's about to happen. And I'll tell you about that next. Hang on. They just ordered through the ABC Star. No, no, no, no, it's this for those of

you want to know, because and I appreciate it. By the way, if you put coffee into liquor, I don't want any of it. So they do have that version. But no, the Santa Teresa Solera is is it's Santa Teresa Solera seventeen ninety six rum or whatever it's called. So I didn't. But again, maybe you shouldn't drink it because Venezuela. So I don't. I don't know. I'll leave that up to you, but I appreciate the effort. And then other lunatics are sending pictures of hard boiled eggs

floating in cereal. That's not what Ross meant. Ross meant there's no milk, there's no cereal. It's just a bowl of hard boiled eggs, just so we're clear.

of hard boiled eggs. And I'm not gonna lie if given the opportunity, I'll eat six of those bastards in the morning they're instead of eating any of that other stuff.

wasn't the Marriott in Greensborough was. Well, anyway, it doesn't matter. And they had one of those breakfast things, and so I go down there and I'm looking at all the stuff and I'm just like, I just want those eggs.

So I put like six in a bowl. And the other people are looking at you because in their mind maybe they think that's all the eggs when you're just being greedy while I'm watching their kids load twenty seven little pancake things onto a plate whatever, and I'll just sit there douse it with the hot sauce in the bowl. So in a way, I'm kind of eating it like a cereal. But yeah, I know it's a great food. I just don't have that time to make all the eggs.

obviously didn't know what the help. The only thing that surrogate knew correctly to represent Kamala Harris was to accuse people of interrupting her because she's a woman. She's got that down, Pat Man, That's the only thing. Apparently the story get paid attention to. But a looming DOC workers strike could throw the economy and the presidential election into chaos. And we don't have to speculate what something like this looks like. We need only remember COVID. We need only

remember COVID. And that wasn't a complete halt. It was damn near a complete halt. And you saw the chaos. Do you remember. Do you remember the first time during COVID you walked into grocery stores and they had pictures of products rather than products. How weird that was? And I don't mean like what they do in a CBS and lock it all down because you guys are a bunch of criminals. Not you, but you know others who

would go in. And now you have to stand there for twenty minutes inside of Walmart trying to get razor blades, which is the thing I did at the Walmart just up here by the station off New Hope Church.

Or we'll go with willfully ignorant to stupid. But like I feel like she can spit because people are going all this would be terrible for her. But you have to remember, nobody in the media is allowing the connection to be made that she's still the vice president and

for all practical purposes, might even be the president. And you know, one of the most scandalous things, and I've seen a couple of people write stuff about this is the natural order of things is so broken down that if she wasn't running for president, there is zero reason why she shouldn't be the president right now. If we don't have a twenty fifth Amendment for this, then what are we even doing? Why even have it? Get rid of the damn thing. And remember before you're saying, well

she can't, you know that you're correct, she can't. But the way that the twenty fifth Amendment is written is to task members of the cabinet and the vice president should they feel this way, and enough of them feel this way to do this thing that we look, we

hope we never have to do, but it exists. And by the Democrat Party has now decided that this constitutional amendment is which they were a huge fan of not that long ago, is not a thing, and as a result, the country essentially lacks leadership, or at least identifiable leadership. So like, the whole thing is messed up. But I could see how they could spin this into a pro

thing for her. And here's the scary part. If if people start to feel that way because they're desperate and believe it would help at the very least, then you have I guess the White House or whomever come out and they start price fixing stuff. They do emergency orders like Roy Cooper and the rest did that, you know, basically kicked in gouging laws and different things that do exist but are only supposed to exist in times of emergencies. And remember it was these same powers that they used

to literally control what you could buy. Oh, that mom and pop store, can't go in there? You want to go in the Walmart that sells the same thing, sure, but you can't go in this aisle. Why that's where the seeds are. I'm sorry you can't have seeds, right, but wouldn't if I had seeds? Make it less likely that have to come to the grocery store. Don't you use logic, ma'am, which is literally what they told that

woman in Michigan who had viral post out there. So I don't know, but if that thing comes to pass, you're talking eighty five thousand dock workers all across the nation threading to go on strike here in a week one week October first, that's the deadline. The negotiations haven't been happening since June. They broke down.

about that. But yeah, nothing makes Ross giddier than getting an outlook notification canceling meetings.

going over the top. But he's not gonna keep starting stop it, so you need to stop that.

the flash flood warning on southwestern Durham County. So we've seen a couple of inches of rain here, so heads up, there could be water ponding on roadways, Chapel Hill, Parkwood, the Research Triangle around you know, River State Park, Jordan Lake, and our rain luckily is coming to an end out near Cavender and Lake Ellen and Chapel Hill and rolling east though we may see additional flash flood warnings where we've seen this heavier rain through Nash and even Wake

County around wake Forest too, so pretty rough from about this warning and Durham County east with the heavier rain back toward the west, looks pretty decent, but more scattered showers thutter showers through tomorrow. If we do get impacts from Helene, well, when it becomes a lean it'll be Thursday Friday in that timeframe with heavier rainfall, maybe some stronger winds, especially west of the triangle, and potentially even some severe weather. A lot of sort out, lots sort

out yet about our tropical system. But let's deal with this rain first here this morning, but over the next couple of hours, your alert should start going off, meaning not off meeting on, but should end.

twenty that buying a home has become more affordable. The online brokerage says home buyers need an annual income of more than one hundred and fifteen thousand dollars to afford a median priced home that costs just over four hundred thirty three thousand dollars. The income needed to afford a home down nearly one and a half percent from a

year ago. That's because mortgage interest rates posted their first annual decline in three years, and Casey, the federal government reportedly set to come down hard on visa sources tell Bloomberg the Justice Department plans to accuse the credit card giant of illegally monopolizing the debit card market. No comment from Visa or the Justice Department so far.

over Clarence Thomas's post. So Clarence Thomas bought himself an RV and it looks like a really nice one, and for whatever reason, everyone well, you know, Clarence Thomas is the great Satan, right, that's essentially among the left. They absolutely hate this dude. But he bought an RV and they just can't deal to some of the tweets. Women are dying and leaving kids behind because Roe v. Wade was reversed. But hey, Clarence Thomas has a new RV. You know what, if I was Clarence Thomas, you know

how you name a boat. You should name the RV and you should call it r V Wade
