it'll say, oh, no, you can't write that. That's not a name, And I'm like, I'm pretty sure it is.

They can you they can have an apostrophe, perhaps in the front part of their system, because it's got to match what's on file with my card and ID. But they didn't bother to put it in there for the for the you know stuff like the internet stuff. I don't know exactly how it works, but I had this explain to me by somebody at a Marryott one time, which basically said, ask the front desk person to remove the apostrophe when you check in if it's a problem, that's my name. So I'm here to tell you an

apostrophe can make a lot of difference. But as somebody who I would argue, dude, Ross, this is my You know, how left handed is your wheelhouse? This is mine, and arguably being left handed gets up there a little more. Apostrophees can be very, very impactful. But I don't believe for a moment you intended one. You absolute liars, Absolute liars. Joe Biden yesterday, here we go.

That is absolutely by design and almost ninety percent of what I've consumed, And it is an important context and for people going it doesn't matter. Even a comic shouldn't say things like that. No, no, no, no, It is a comic who should attempt to say things like that, so that the most easily offended amongst you five years ago when I was a comic. It's a comic. But here's what's so delicious about this, if I could, before we get to the water carrying, which is thorough and

Trump's reaction. So here's the thing. Do I think Joe Biden made a conscious effort to go out there and call Trump supporter's garbage. I kind of don't. Here's what I mean by that. I think I think that they fed him that line. They fed him the line, and you know, while they were were talking about stuff and he there was. It was strategic in the sense where I think they wanted a little ore of mystery there to go ahead and get the press to cover it.

Not that they would stop. But according to one of Biden's people, when he says supporters, he's referring to support apostrophe s as an ownership. It's clearly not how he phrased it. In fact, he would structure the sentence differently. But that's what they're sliding in saying it makes no sense.

understand context of what he was saying. The context was he meant supporters as in ownership, as in their garbage, like don't you know, don't pull this garbage or don't bring your garbage around here? Right, But that's only if you have context, and if.

Like you're responding and trying to make hay on this this outrage scandal thing that only works if you don't research it. It doesn't mean you'll think the joke's funnier, but you're telling people now there's no context here. They're just mean evil Nazis. And then now you're begging for them to allow context into what you said. That's the part that gets me. So I'm gonna play one more time, and just I guess in case he didn't know all that,

listen to the way to structure this. The sentence is put together ross you think they he would have to reword this if he meant supporters. I don't know that he would necessarily have to, but I think you have to lean.

Rican people. And I know that that's what they meant because or what they are going for is because I was texted three times yesterday by fellow Puerto Rican former Republican voters. Yeah, yeah, they sent texts. I'm sure none of you got those random texts from numbers I've never seen telling me that they were GOP until Sunday, and their Puerto Rican eyes stared at that, lost all hope and at flip sides. And if I could just make a ten dollars donation to Kamala, we'll show them what's up.

So the freak out messaging is predicated on Kenchcliff, but really, Trump, because he's he's speaking at his thing, sees the Puerto Rican people as themselves garbage. So if you're going to run that, to Ross's point, you can't apostrophe your way out of it because in your own sentence you're talking about people. Does that make sense?

there at the mall right. So I wake up today and the first thing I think is, oh, right, right, right right, she had did this speech last night, and subconsciously I think I forgot about it, not just because I was tired, but because I knew it would probably be the same thing. In my head, I'm thinking she's gonna get up there say that he's Hitler, fascist, he's

a tyrant, YadA YadA, YadA. Right, So I come in, I crack open the old X machine to get some audio from that speech, and the first thing I see is the Biden garbage thing, and I start laughing, like hysterically, yeah, because I realized once I dug into it, I'm like she did. She said exactly what I thought she was going to say. It was nothing new. It's everything we've

heard on repeat since twenty twenty. Yeah, are the remarkable, But the fact that he does this, well she's giving that speech wherever he was staring into the laptop is just it's catastrophic for her campaign. Because nobody's talking about her DC speech, which we've heard a million times now. They're all talking about Biden calling half the country garbage.

how did I do? And they're like, you know what, nobody hated the last part. Nobody saw it. Nobody hated it though, So all right, hugs and kisses. So if if it's just an apostrophe, then how did we get to this place? How did that happen when Biden did that? If it's not I don't know, trying to kneecap Kamala again, CNN, do you think you know why this happened?

words directly aimed at individuals. So when you go to flip the script, which I think was your point here, and you say the same thing, you can't wiggle out of it. I just think we're so far gone and hating each other, and this guy's so far gone, just in general, did it all. It sounded correct to him until they found out that maybe I should speak.

at that, that's true. Ross is good at eating chicken wings. Well, you can't have Rossy chicken wings every day as his job. That would be absurd. He needs to do other stuff like eat soup, salad and breadsticks. I mean, you gotta be able to mix it up. So yeah, CNN's gonna go with the study.

Let them lose it, you know, let them do their thing if they're flailing over there, and don't stop them. Now, I don't know that comes down to what's your definition of the the the whole comic at the Madison Square Garden thing is. But I don't know if i'd call that flailing. But it was a way that the Harris campaign could you know, capture all this in a jar for the last week it was ready made. It was

a hungry Man dinner. Wait, hold on, I'm sorry, I just realized rost did Hungry Man dinner fold to the woke? Or is it still called hungry Man? I feel like maybe five over the last few years that would be one of the brands they targeted. We still call it hungry man? Or is it hungry person dinner? Now, I don't know the answer to that.

And it's not just because I sell advertising, you know, for the for the show. The worst thing I ever did is carve out exemptions for anyone under the cover of politics to spam me incessantly, email, phone, you name it. They should be held to the same standard people like, well, but it's the contrary. Yeah, but if you're gonna use it to feed me lies, you didn't just find three Puerto Rican Republican voters whose names I couldn't search and then not come up with anything to send me spam.

And oh, by the way, the one photo and the one spam message looks like the message I got on another issue that didn't talk about Puerto Rico stuff. And the dude looks like he's a redhead. Now it's not again, it's all so stupid, but it's predicated on this thing happened. This is what he said the people of Puerto Rico or garbage. According to Trump and his proxies, we won't even tell you. It was a comedian there and and that's that's.

So then it raises questions like why is this dude holding press conferences while she's giving her MLK speech right down? I saw dude. Twitter was the fangirl fanboy in on this stuff, fan personing whatever. They're like, oh, this is her MLK moment, and uh somebody wrote this is uh not jojo from jurors, but one of the ones like that is like this is the mL came on and I think the Brooklyn dad retweeted it. How I ended up seeing it And then somebody just wrote at secret

service and that was the top comment. So I see what you did there. Yeah, yeah, you took it and and then you're like a hold on, let me uh, let me decide half of America is in fact garbage. Because I with with the kill Tony stuff, you you have to surmise that that's what he was saying the way that Biden spit it out, that's what he said.

And and for them to run back and say, ah, there's not an apost the supposed to be an apostrophe in there, it doesn't matter because, like we said with the kit with the garbage issue, which is a legitimate issue in Puerto Rico, if you're explaining, then it's not funny anymore. And so people may not realize him sharing, which is something that I remembered when I from when I was in Puerto Rico. I remember, I remember the

guy at the hotel talking about it. I remember asking about a restaurant in tua Alto To whatever the buy where this problem was.

I don't know if you saw that. There was a photo of that on one side of it. They were firing it from another building. I don't know the legality of that in New York. I'm sure it's fine. It's just light on the building. But they were pointing out that, you know, a Nazi rally on this day, a Nazi rally happened and here's another one. So meanwhile, while she's doing her thing and Biden's doing and his thing with that laptop, do we know what what the laptop was

there for? Oh my god? Was it Hunter's laptop? And he's just finally getting around to it. Oh yeah.

tweet reload that. Here we go. It's a tie games, tiede game, two minutes on the clock. We've got the ball, we're driving down field. Even if we move one inch at a time, one phone call at a time, one door knock at a time, we're gonna win this ross. You're not a professional football player, but you've heard of the sport. Why do you think this might be a bad game plan for team Walls?

half the country. That's amazing, you know. Ross. What I think we need to see on the part of the Walls Harris campaign is urgency, right do this from my football analysis stamp. I think we need urgency. I think it's imperative that all all of the members of the team, uh, you know, really recognize it's the it's the last we got a week to go. I mean the problem to need all of you to be in motion, all eleven of you are gonna need to be in motion. We

need to be frantic, we need to be working. We need to be out there making a miss winning this game, which sounds very motivating until you understand why that's a problem. And he doesn't understand. But they didn't understand what this either, and it's uh a little creepy.

isn't Kamala Harrs. It's some girl boss intern who thinks that's how things are when you're a dude. Oh it's all fake.

You're great folks, blah blah blah, without immediately going, hey, what can we do to alienate people who are kind of on the fence right now in a state that we've decided is a must win and a must must win if we don't win the other one or we don't win anything, and zero thought was given.

I was a little concerned. I saw it. He's leaning into some material that I don't understand how he thinks it's it's helpful, like, you know, there's some of that, But also I like, it's who he is, right, So if he's out there making big mic jokes and stuff like why this it's But then again, I'm like, you know what, why because it doesn't matter, because he could come he could come out and say the most insane thing.

Not he could say the stuff that his haters say that he says, but actually say it and mean it right, you know, the like the the Fever Dream fanfic you find online. We're like, ah, then Trump smothered the kitten while he screamed, I'm hitler, right, he could do that, and I am convinced the Democrats would be like, you didn't smother enough kittens?

It's one of those pop Oh. And then here's here's Kamala she's literally she's on ten land mines or she's and then just pick whatever the unforced air is. So you're Trump on stage. I don't know that he processes stuff in the same way because you know, it's main character syndrome. But he is the main character, right, So when when when things bend and around you, maybe you just go, hey, uh, you know I said all this

stuff done, all this stuff whatever, and screw advisors. And I've been I've been correct half the time, which you know, I'll get you in the Hall of Fame. You're bat five hundred. But now I'm like, what could he do? I mean, what could he possibly do.

of the campaign. Also hurricane relief, because unlike I guess everybody else, we're still kind of thinking about that stuff. And it's hard not to. You know, I've the amount of stories that I've seen, uh, that you guys have sent me of like, Hey, my aunt and uncle live in you know, Ash County or whatever, and here's this crazy thing that happened.

I don't know specifically what road it connected off of, but you had you had homeowners who couldn't get up to their home, and they were telling them it could be uh, you know, next year, like you know, like it's the space, you know, bringing back those those astronauts. And we got a wait for a transfer window, and

some dudes went in. Just build a road, I mean, not a dot side you know, quad lanes with the breakdown lane and all that, but access for somebody to get to and as somebody who has built roads like this, maybe not as nice as these, but stump roads, yeah, yeah, that sucks, by the way, cutting stump roads. So basically it's portions of the property where we log we need to be able to get back there, and so you log in a line and then you also have to

figure out what you're gonna do. And while you're doing it, you're cutting it down literally so it's just six six inches max off the ground. You gotta have a you know, so decent wheelbase, but you know, and and cutting those in and then every time we go through on that road, we take another whack with the chainsaw until we can flat it out and actually get a road there. That's the that's the easiest, foresty way to do it. And you know it's not dot or anything, but it's people

getting things done. So let's let's not shy away from that. So that'll be part of the conversation as well. All right, back to this, back to this whole unforced air or whatever this was, again just to bring you up to speed. You remember, people were mad. The line was that at the Nazi rally, which of course the talking points were that it was a Nazi rally, and at the Nazi rally, a speaker not identified as a comedian, just a speaker got up and said that Puerto Ricans were garbage. And

that's the narrative that they took out on the campaign trail. Kamala, the various people that spoke on behalf of her her own communications, people were feeding into that, and it was because they realized that the joke that dude was trying to make, the kill Tony guy was trying to make if you don't know the big garbage issue they have, which is again it's like if it's like the economy in if you look at some polling on the importance

to voters there and rightfully so it's it's pandemonium. And it's because they keep ninety ninety five percent of all their trash. Well, first of all, ninety they have ninety five percent of everything they consume goes to the garbage. Recycling is almost non existent. And while I understand that recycling a lot of it is a net it's not a net gain. It still separates where stuff is going. Okay, they don't have that, and so they just dump it everywhere.

Plus they don't really have infrastructure where it's hard lines that people can't just create their own dump or at least people do enforce it. They have all these problems, but once you're explaining, you're losing, or the joke's not funny anymore, any of the rest. So they then go out and Joe Biden, during Kamala Harris's speech out on the National Mall, decides he's gonna He's gonna roll a

hand grenade into the room figuratively, not literally. And when they have seized the momentum on this particular topic and they were going to use it, they were going to this was going to be their weapon for the final week of the campaign. They had already kicked into gear as soon as I saw all of those fundraising emails coming over, and I saw the different all the different ways that they were presenting it. You realize they were going to dig in on this bone for the long haul.

There's gonna be that that bone you got at Costco, that with the big ones, or get like four in that pack and your dog is I didn't want you around the whole weekend. You're just gonna work on that. Think this was their bone. And Joe Biden came out the.

I convinced me he's not working against her. So word trickles back on that. The White House says, oh, no, he meant the supporters possessive apostrophe es there, they're garbage. No, no, he didn't, and here's why. Why. You know, One, I think you armed him with that little nugget kind of him a little coach on what to do, too, he delivered it poorly. And three, you decided, when it's clear, if you understand the context of what's going on, you

decided that Trump's evil surrogate who is a comedian. But you won't tell anyone that he meant the Puerto Rican people, even though that's not it. It's categorically not true. Also, he's a comic, so no, you know, you don't get to weasel out of this. So then it hits the stage. Trump is literally doing his thing up in uh, where's he Pennsylvania? It doesn't even matter where he was. He's up doing his thing. And oh it is Allentown, that's

where they were. Yeah. So he's doing his thing and Marco Rubiyo is on stage, and I guess Rubio saw it first, and he gets to deliver the news. Here's Trump's reaction. That's terrible. That's what it says. That's what it says.

to say, if you would please, is a soul stupid? Okay, all right, what that actually tracks? Because I assumed he felt that way, and all of this is him in his little tantrum me way letting us.

doesn't matter. So the governor of Pennsylvania, he even responded to it. The Governor of Pennsylvania responded kind of and remember when you talk about access to grind the reason why Joe Biden may do some of this stuff. And then have you seen some of the stories about the names that he calls, like Kamala and Barack around the White House? Now those look, those are these are the gossipy little a source inside the White House. The tale as old as time. They used to love these during

Trump take them or leave them. I don't know whether they're true or not, but I would understand why Biden would feel that way. And in those moments when he recognizes the totality of you know, the the pulpit that he has, and if he wants to go put a little injury to people he feels that have wronged him, I kind of feel like what he's been doing is how you would do it. So, now, if you're the governor of Pennsylvania, you had your state is overrun with

these cats. But your jewyness was too much to not allow you to be the running mate. Holy hell, man, I would think you got an extra grind. So are you a team player or do you go ahead and you stand right in front of this bullet, this political bullet, so to speak, and turn this ship around. Let's find Governor vers Off.

clearly he wanted to be pick. If you watched any of his speeches before that, you could tell the guy was really he wanted that and it had to be very disappointing. But do you think standing there yesterday as CNN is asking him about this, the totality that has been the campaign, that he is allowed to reflect upon whether he can pick out an apostrophe or not, do you think he thinks to himself, Oh, thank god, I'm not the selection.

and she'll probably get us. She'll they'll make her a law professor at some at Harvard if Biden doesn't slip her into a judge ship somehow, and that'll that'll be the end of the day for her. You're some of the other folks, man, you're just your host.

You know why, because when she starts doing her ticks and things, and everybody's got ticks are not all necessarily negative, right, you know, like the you know how Bush would speak with the hand out front and rock and Bill Clint would do the finger, you know that kind of thing. Not that time he did the but you know where you'd wave it at crowds, not the other thing, and and and those things. The problem is is that if Kamala was to ever run again, as soon as she

starts cackling or doing the weird accents. She did another accent the other day. I don't know. I'm not sure what that accent was. Was it preacher, we go for preacher? I don't know, But like people will laugh at that. People think that's like, oh my gosh, you're the same way they remember Ducoccus in the tank, They remember Gary Hart with the boat. You get where I'm going here, She's done. So if you're Shapiro, hell yeah, you don't

want a piece of that now, CNN. CNN. On the other hand, they decided they were going to get answers. Whatever could have brought this about? How could this have happened to the president of the commander in chief where people are taking him out of context and won't give him his apostrophe and he's earned it and blah blah blah. They got their own explanation. We'll share it next. Hang on, we'll do and don't. I got to see an n thing coming up on the Biden garbage thing. But like

every single I got a few yesterday. Anytime voting's going on, people are sending me stories. Hey, here's the experience I had. This happened, this didn't happen. What do you think? This person was too close?

only does in this case the government admit it. But you got to ask yourself as you as you look through the whole process that's portrayed in this video out of Bucks County, Pennsylvania. Hey, your system is a lot bigger than one person incorrectly remembering how a process works. So here's here's what happened. And I want to be

specific what this line was. So this woman shows up, there's a big old line outside of a polling place or you know where you go to vote, and in this case, it's kind of where you go to vote. But right now in Pennsylvania, this particular line and voting location is facilitating mail in on demand mail in balloting,

which is how Pensy is some Pennsylvania does. And so you walk in and you'd be like, I want to vote, but I just want to grab what I need, So go through and then here's my ballot and then or they'll mail it to you. Is specifically how PA does it in most circumstances. But none of that's important. What is important is, like any other voting line, Pennsylvania does what North Carolina does. So if I show up to

my polling. My let's say the polls are open till seven, and I don't get off work till six, and I hustle and I make it down on election day to go and vote, and when I show up at six point thirty, there's a line that's six blocks long. I don't have to worry that I'm not going to get to vote because I'm in line before the cutoff. And then at seven o'clock and I have been one year for an early voting precinct, I was like the last

like ten or fifteen people. Because we were talking with the folks who had to bring the sign out and be like no more in line, and yeah, people would get upset, but it was a clearly defined, understandable thing if you are and they actually set the sign up earlier, so as long as you were on the sidewalk within that sign, you didn't even have to really be formed. They aired on the side of wanting to let people vote and recognizing that people have different schedules, different stuff.

So what was happening up there is people were trying to show up in line like an hour and a half before they closed, and they were being told by law enforcement and by and I don't know who these people are. These women. There's one woman in particular, there's just a just a look on her face. I can tell that she is a smug piece of garbage, right, just one of the worst kind of probably has nothing going on in her own life, relishes her hoa position,

whatever this is. And she's wearing a lanyard badge, a big one, not even a little one, like a big in your face one that says voter protection. But I don't think she's a I don't think she works for the county. One of two things is going on. I can't figure out. I don't think she I don't think she technically works in any capacity except as a volunteer for a partisan organization. And then they wear these lanyards,

which arguably is incredibly disingenuous. When you see the lanyards, people probably ask her questions.

don't understand it. But just to be clear, some poll workers who identify as DEM or GOP are technically supposed to be there or part of the process, because you know how they hire a poll watchers, and that's its own big scandal because in some places you have like in Detroit you got like thirty Republican and then a thousand are fifteen hundred Democrat right pool watchers, but they're part of the I don't think she's even part of the program. So this woman is standing there and she's like, hey,

I'm here to vote. They're like, I'm sorry, you can't, uh the line, there's the sign we closed it off, and she's like no, no, no, no. It's like an hour and a half before it closes, Like, yeah, well, there's it's too busy. There's too many people showed up to vote. You can't vote today, which is not the law. And so this idiot, there's a word I want to use for this woman. I just I don't know why, but just everything about her just made me dislike her.

And that's not usually my thing, right because I want to understand where you're coming from. But just all her mannerisms, right her just smugness, because she's like in her mind, she's like, yeah, I know who this woman wants to vote for, and we're not going to let her, never pausing for a moment to in her mind go, you know what, does this make me a big stemen pile of garbage? Yeah? Yeah, it probably does. Maybe I shouldn't

do that. Maybe I shouldn't be sitting out here with a quasi fake lanyard so that people think that I am a go to source of information for things having to do with elections. Didn't They just arrest a woman in Massachusetts for telling people to stand in line and stay in line and vote, not who to vote for,

just to vote. And they said that was a bridge too far because this woman and a law enforcement officer roll up to the woman who wants to get in line, and they're just like, no, it's too busy, you can't. You got to come back later, come back tomorrow, come back another day, which is not the law. And this woman's shaking her head, She's like, yeah, yeah, yeah, you gotta do. Can't vote here, don't have to go home,

can't stay here, And that was the video that went viral. Now, admittedly I'm not an election official or even one who understands fully Pennsylvania's elections, but I would suspect that the Bucks County, PA, the county where this happened. They probably do, and they seem to realize this was no contrary to do. But listen to the way there's smugness even in the way that they word this. They wrote, contrary to what

is being depicted on social media. If you are in line by five pm for on demand mail in ballot applications, you will have the opportunity to submit your application for a mail in ballot. Here's the thing. Don't word it as contrary to what is being depicted on social media. This isn't what's being depicted. When you write it like that, you make it sound like even if you're just intimating that the video is not accurate. And yet if you go through the rest of this thread, you clearly believe

everything in the video is accurate. So my question is that law enforcement officer who came up and decided that he was going to be he knew all the election laws and he clearly doesn't. Where is his accountability? And here's the thing. I understand why if you're a police officer and you're you're a polling place, your job is not to sit there and explain laws Frankly, you probably

don't want to. Your job kicks in and if something happens that requires law enforcement to intervene, somebody gets unruly to people get in fights, because why not, right, that's what it is. So the officer should have been in that position. But also he was on teams smug with this lady, So I don't really care. And if she is not an elected election official and she's telling people

stuff like that, how is that not voter intimidation? How is that not an act designed to keep somebody from posting their to making their vote in a legal way, Because it's a really wide open statute in most places, you just have to do something that you think would diminish their ability to do the vote. Ironically, that's why the argument that if Congress didn't want to certify in January sixth, they could have certified the next day, which they basically did. What's the big whoop? And it was

it doesn't matter how long you deviate them. It's the fact that they were paused for even a moment. So, uh, you know, to get it, throw this throw this woman, Uh, throw the book at her. She violated the law because she It's all h o a Karen vibe. Now, yeah, you have to go see it all right, finally this and then we'll get into our weather. On all of the Biden garbage stuff. The question was, what is how

is CNN going to handle this? Oh and I remember and I was wanting to say about the Ben Shapiro thing. So Ben Shapiro did these twenty He sat with like twenty five moonbats, debated all of them like, uh, it's some sort of wildly unfair fight in an eighties ninja movie. And so he did that. Ben Ben Shapiro did that.

Josh Shapiro, the Pennsylvania governor, went asked one question in an environment where if he'd just said if he did if when CNN asked Shapiro about what do you think about the garbage thing, and he'd just said, well, I understand that people get bit by honey badgers sometimes randomly say things they get like a small turetts, and CNN would in fact check that, they'd bring on a honey badger expert. They would say exactly what you want, like

it would go away. Shapiro didn't even have the stones to go into it in this in the easiest environment to win ever, Meanwhile, his name's sake is literally like in Philadelphia wherever he did that thing, debating twenty five lunatics at once. I found that amusing. But CNN they went in a different direction.

it's the same sentence, that's what he means. So yeah, they went with stutter, which is the which by the way is the joke Ross makes. That's his joke thing. If I might hate you hear what Biden said, at some point Ross will be like, yeah, he's got a stutter, like that's a joke, and they went with it for reals. So there's that, all right. Seven forty seven raced agic from the Weather Channel. He is here doing his thing on a on a Wednesday. What's up man?

So just check ahead if you're going to catch a flight. Might back it off a little bit by the weekend, but still near seventy degrees. Will stay in the mid upper sixties, and they tried it into the mountains Friday night.

I'll be delicate. We'll get into that next.

a half. If you could possibly keep it to that where we'd be good.

so glad that President Trump said what he said. He doesn't know what he said, because now it's time for those of us and all the surrogates other politicians to get out there and say, hey, this is what Joe Biden said. Now President Trump don't need to focus on it. Let everybody else focus on it.

Is we near election day? Week from yesterday?

But we're doing we're doing some one stops, but inviting many, many, many people from many many counties in the surrounded areas that we're stopping at. So the one cornerret went well last night. Uh, but we just we've been everywhere in the crowds have been very good, very good. It's been kind of a mixed bag. Of course, when you go to the smaller areas, you go have smaller crowds. But we've got some really really really really good responses and we got a lot of energy and a lot of momentum.

you think. What would you tell your supporters here in the in the final moments, Yes, it did inflict some injury and now you need to work harder than ever. We took it and we shook it off, or or this thing is has been problematic that you know, we we really maybe we've got to do something different here at the end of the week. So give me give me the Mark Robinson campaign Assessment. With less than a week to go, what do you what do you want to tell your people?

the case. We've been campaigning at our campaign and it's still going fantastic.

that is complicit with one party. It is horrendous. It's terrible. Those folks need to change course. And I tell people all the time the solution is to turn them off. Do not listen to them, do not watch them, do not patronize them. Just don't do it, because that's why they keep going. The CNN story is a perfect example

of that. Those who turn it, turn on CNN and actually listen to CNN after all of their lives that we have seen after you still see them trying to constant destroy Donald Trump every day, day after day with the legis lives would have truth with any windows. There are people who will still listen to this so called news agency. It is my numbering cases. We need to turn that off and focus on what matters and what matters are the issues.

you are you hopeful at all? Watching some of the the infighting that's going on at places like the Washington Post where reporters are quitting and editorial people are quitting because they won't endorse Kamala Harris, I.

And those folks at no matter which one of these agencies that it's at, I just don't understand why there's no one inside of those newsrooms who just stands up but says, why don't we just tell the truth? Or you run.

not one policy leg to stand on. On every single crucial issue, he is a loser on every one of them. That's why he won't stand on the debate states. And that's why these folks are so bound and determined to push the opposite voices out of their newsrooms because they know what they are presenting to the American people.

ARI L and others. They go ahead and they run the pieces, They do the polling, which would tell you that Trump's neck and neck right now in North Carolina, which is obviously true since the Hairs campaign pulled their ad spending, so I believe that. And then by not reporting on you when you're out doing campaign stuff, you know, in the normal course of it, or even when you

were doing some of your hurricane stuff. That's a conscious decision, because it is a it is a combined effort to tell to the populace of North Carolina stick of forking them, he's done. And people don't always see what bias looks like. That's part of it right there.

places where inaccessible. Nobody came out to Hickory Airport to see that magnificent operations that was going on out there by those civilians. The news media in this country one of our number one problems. And I'm telling you, I'm urging people across the state and across the nation turn that garbage off till again, it's not the people, but the product that they present to the people is garbage, and it's not worth looking at it, all right.

great amount of compassion for hurricane victims. I don't know if you saw this in Puerto Rico. And here's the thing people annoy It's not that people in North carol I want to see people in Puerto Rico dealing with, you know, devastating conditions. It's the part where North Carolina

is still dealing with it. And also, I'm still uncomfortable believing the total number of deaths, not because I think it's nine thousand or some crazy number I saw on the internet, but like in the same week that we're telling we're saying it's ninety eight, the state also reported it was in the seventies and some of its speculatives. So I'm asking you, Mark, do you think ninety eight is the accurate death toll from what you've seen, or do you think that there's not that you're you're going

conspiracy here, But it's just such a big footprint. I would think the number probably has to change, doesn't it.

officials are still not settled on the death toll. We're trying desperately to find out where a death toll is. We're trying to find out where to relief that they should be reporting on this stuff every single thought, every day. Casey, they're not, and they're not doing it because that's not part of their agenda. Actual work that needs to be done in this state, the actual things that are affecting

people's lives, is not part of their agenda. What's part of their agenda is anything that is colacious enough, anything that is distracting enough for them to make sure that nobody pays attention to the issues that will demonize the politicians that they like, and focus on the things that will demonize the politicians that they despise. That Casey is just that's malfeasans and it's absolute worse, and then our

news media is right with it. I think that's part of the reason why we can't get solid answers here if we've had agencies that were going after these folks saying, hey, we need some answers on this because these are North Carolinians and North Carolinians either know how many the fell citizens have been lost. I think we see some better numbers coming out. But you know, going back again, this is a very difficult form to deal with all some casey we have.

it that way. So it's not easy getting a head count. Bear with us, but this is the best information. And I think what you said about if the media had been on the ground instead of driving up to Ashville to stand in the parking lot by the Justice Center there by, because that that crazy clock there and it's in the background to say, we talked to a county commissioner and they said all the things on the internet are not true. And it's say, oh, did you look at some did you drive over there?

FEMA wasn't and here's FEMA right, use your cameras. Yeah, and they didn't. It's so it's so sad.

full I know it's not not everything's a failure. Sometimes you just assume people know stuff, but when they clearly don't, I think it's important that you explain when you are in a moment where people are very suspicious of your actions because they feel and I'm sorry, I have read enough, I have seen enough photos, I've talked to enough people, I have talked to people on FaceTime, had them showing me things that to recognize that this hurricane relief is

even remotely as efficient as others. But there's also reasons why. The footprint of it right, it's it's not just the city of Miami or the city of Tampa. Not that that's not a huge undertaking, but the city's the city's the city. There's not a huge elevation change there, so you have a pretty good scope of how a particular area was impacted based on where they're standing water and historically where there's been water. They don't have a map for what you saw at North Carolina, Georgia parts of

South Carolina. Our topography of North Carolina is so different obviously where this flooding took place. So it's okay to say we don't fully know. And the other reason is her what do you think counts as a hurricane death. There's a weird, kind of morbid little thing, but it's important that people understand this. So here's what counts as

a hurricane death. And we'll take Casa to haze. All right, So let's say Ross and his family live in the path of the hurricane, right and in their neighborhood, and literally, here comes, here comes the wind, the rain. They've made the choice to stay inside. They got their weather radio, they got their batteries, they're tuned to me. And here comes the storm. And tragically, the storm is stronger than

they thought. And as he is trying to just kind of get semblance of what's going on, Ross looks out the window and he sees a giant tree land on his neighbor's house. That's and it's it's clear that that's bad news. That would be a hurricane death, and that's what everyone thinks of. But let's say the hurricane leaves.

Two days later, after this tragedy has entailed some the neighborhood goes over along with family members of this now a neighbor who unfortunately had the tree, and they start cleaning up the property and just you know, trying to help and lo and behold one of the neighbors while trying to chainsaw one of the branches. It wasn't it wasn't strapped properly or held properly, so when the pressure was off, the damn thing hit him in the head.

Now he's dead. That's a hurricane victim. That's a hurricane victim. And I'll give you another example. Let's say while all of this insanity, the mourning over, Ross's poor neighbor has been killed by the tree. And then the other neighbor it took the same part of the tree upside his head. Now this tree, this inanimate object, per se, has killed three people in under a week. And emotionally it's doing

wonders on one of the neighbor's family members. And he's not keeping it all together, and he's got a drug habit. So he goes down to the dollar store, the CVS or whatever's near Ross's neighborhood there, and he's going to do a robbery because they're not quite open all the time. So he's going to do him some looting, right, who's around, Nobody's going to see him? And look at all the videos I see of people looting. And he goes in

and he loots it. And as he's leaving there, he sees a store nearby and he's like, you know what, I need to meet whatever that guy's selling. So he goes in and loots that store. But that guy's there. He's at his store. He's in the back to an inventory to see if his livelihood is done, and he comes face to face with this guy trying to loot his stuff. A standoff ensues. Maybe the dude doing the loot and brought a weapon with him. Guy sees this,

he's a key concealed carry, shoots him dead. Guess what Hurricane victim. So I retweeted a list. Sorry, I want to take a few minutes because I think maybe people

don't realize that there's always debate about it. There's also debate because Paula a U and I believe this politicians are trying to screw with it, right because they want to start adding other victims as as weather deaths, and they want to use this aim kind of open reporting methodology that we use for hurricane not just hurricanes, for fires and other stuff too, where it's impact day of the event, but also anything directly associated with the event,

like cutting down trees. We're having a heart attack while cleaning up debree, which always happens, and in fact that's why the number is now officially ninety nine. In North Carolina. They added another death. Guy had a heart attack doing a storm cleanup. So it's important to understand why those numbers may flux. But we're past all that. This, like

everything else, we've just turned into a political football. And you know, the Steins and Coopers of the world would say, oh, it's all it's case's fault on the radio and you guys on the internet. And the reality is, why the hell are you not out there doing a better job explaining this stuff. Why don't you be honest, and why don't you not prioritize Puerto Rico, Because when all of those things happen together, that's how we get here. Capeche

We good, We understand that, okay, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Yeah, yeah, this would be a lot easier if you just go ahead and explain that and talk about it, because you have. The reason you have people that don't trust you is because you've done untrustworthy things or you've ignored moments where you appear untrustworthy. All of COVID would be a good example.

And that's how we find ourselves here. And then people go tribal man, they seek back to their little little teams and whatever somebody in the team says is probably true.

right now. The amount of things I know about Magic the Gathering is the name I just read, the thing I just read. I mean, I understand it's cards. It's gonna have creatures and spells. It's like I conceptually I get it, but I don't know specifically enough about the individual cards. I understand that there are like any This is just the pay per version of what happens in

modern video games. Right, So if you play some with character classes, like really the only thing that I play with that is Diablo sometimes, and of course you could you know'd be barbar in Mage, you know, different different characters out there'd be the Wizard that he couldn't be, the Wizard that he could again, and uh and onward and upward with all the character classes and the various

garments and weaponry that that go on them. And what will happen inevitably is as they introduce new stuff or tweak things, uh uh, they start nerfing and or essentially stacking various uh various characters.

chose in high school to talk to girls. So with that in mind, I am curious, why you why you think that you know that he's some dark, nefarious political figure or what to be political figure based on a Magic the Gathering card. I have no idea whether that is even believable or not, but I'm gonna go with probably not all right, So check this out. Jd Vance, in addition to being weird, obviously also used to play Magic the Gathering. Yeah, here we go.

not like Magic the Gathering. So I dropped it like a bad habit, and and of course every step of the way, somebody's like, oh, he's being me. I don't know that sounds pretty honest. How many how many of you when you started, uh, decided Hey, I should probably go talk to the what do they call those girls or guys?

this works. Where they can put a thing in and that's taken out and be like, nah, that doesn't exist anymore. But in this case, you were asking him about a period in his life, and in a period in a small window of his life, and then you asked him what he liked to play, and he told you the card that he played, which fits with the timeline. And it seems that the card was then after found to

be problematic. But no, they wrote a whole story about him wanting to use a card that he saw as really really powerful somehow means he's going to be a dictator. And I got to tell you, I don't have enough working nerd knowledge to understand if that's even a technically fair not just fair, but like, is even an allegation you can make in this circumstance because I know nothing about any of it. But that's the bottom of the barrel right there. In the world of hit pieces. A

week to go. Man can't wait ray stage, He's here to do a hit. Peace on your nice weather, so go ahead.

going to be. Try it into the mountains, probably stay in the seventies, get into the triangle, probably hit eighty, and then as we had through tonight, some clouds comfortable though in the mid toupper fifties, and same temperature profile for Halloween and again on Friday, upper seventies to near eighty are just above a light wind around. So it's going to be a pretty warm Halloween. We talked about

it yesterday. Case, but those rubber masks, if you got one of those or one of those cloaks on if you're doing something like what like the Grim Reaper or something, going to be warm out there. Man definitely going to be a warm one. But we'll cool off over the weekend back close to seventy degrees, upper sixties and to near seventy for highs, and then warming up again next

week with no rain. The only chance of showers is going to be here Friday night, and that won't be in time for any Friday night football, But after midnight with the front coming through, don't see any real huge changes over the next seven days, maybe mid month. Some of the guy is suggesting maybe a pattern change, So we'll see if it starts looking a little bit more like fall rather than I would call this late spring.

That's certainly what it feels like. These tempts about ten twelve degrees above normal.

thirty three thousand workers were added to payrolls. Boeing and the International Association of Machinists and Aerospace Workers are trying to end that strike, which is shut down aircraft production for seven weeks now. Boeing said overnight the company had a productive meeting with union leaders. The two sides, of course, had a tentative deal earlier this month, but it was

rejected by the rank and file. Bank of America says it is cooperating with federal regulators looking into its efforts to detect money laundering and sanctions violations vi evase as regulators could take action against the company. The Bank also says the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is looking into the way electronic payments are handled on the Zell network. McDonald's

had to know this was coming. A proposed class action has been filed by customers who claimed they got sick after eating McDonald's quarter pounder hamburgers, and Starbucks is moving to streamline it's menu. A line of olive oil drinks favored by long time leader Howard Schultz will be permanently removed a week from tomorrow when Starbucks launches its special

holiday drinks. The new CEO, Brian Nichol, has said one of his priorities used to simplify the menu and make barista's jobs easier, so service will be faster.

my level of knowledge on that front. And then finally I'm gonna have to I gonn have to roll that that other one until tomorrow, real quick. Who came to the support and the defense of the comic at Donald Trump's rally? Somebody who may surprise you, and I want you to point out he's not just defending comedy, he's defending the comedian.
