Man, we got to talk about timing this morning. And when I say timing, I mean timing of U is kind of a running theme. It's gonna be timing of several stories. Sorry, I screw with my mic this morning because it has for some reason it has not sounded the same. It sounds the same, but now I got it out of position. There we go, all right, timing of certain stories, whether it is very politically suspect, which we'll get to with something CBS News I saw from them this

morning, or the Washington Post if you haven't seen the Washington Post. Boy, oh boy, we we got to talk about something. And I don't think I mean, I understand why they chose to piggyback something, but they didn't really think how this was gonna land. As you are probably aware, former Oaklaw Oklahoma. I was gonna say, Kansas, Oklahoma Senator James Inhoff

has passed away. Now I have on this show lightly made fun of in Hoff before as a callback, and you don't realize I'm doing it because I never use his name, but I use rather what he did as an example of something that annoys me. It doesn't annoy everybody. It's just a little pet peeve of mine. You know how I'll be talking to a politician or about a politician, and I'm like, why do you guys do the stupid

stunts? You know, like the Democrat who brought in the KFC bucket because you wanted to point out that he didn't like Chick fil A. The irony of course being you just don't get a bucket of chicken at one but whatever, So that's a stunt and it's stupid. And James N. Hoff had one of the other ones that I mentioned. It was February, Washington, DC, and he had like he had like a cooler bag and in it he had had I'm sure, well maybe he went and got it. I

don't know. He or one of his staff went outside where there's snow in February, which, if I'm correct, February is still the snowiest month of the year. I don't know if it is in the DC area, but in many places in the United States, it's not December, late Christmas any of that. It's late January early February in most places. Made a snowball, brought it to the Senate Chamber and kind of threw He didn't throw it at anybody. But he's just like he kind of threw it and went,

ah, tell me global warming. Tell me about global warming some more. You know how I feel about it. Now I'm not here to sit here, and you know how I feel about it. It's in the past. It's just an example that's used. So he assed away, And of course the headlines read former Senator in haf prolific climate denier, which that was not in Hast's position. His position was the fact that man doesn't have the ability to exert the level of change that his Democratic colleagues claim that it does,

all right. That was in Hast's position, not that there's not change within the climate, not that there has been you know, cycles throughout history. Was he was a proponent of more research into the way in which the sun is able to impact things, which at the time people were kind of laughing

at. But now even amongst those who think man does have a significant impact on climate, they also recognize that so does the sun, and in many cases it's baked into the the alarms being sounded, you know, mass coronal ejection and more oil drilling, and you'll see stories like that. So that was in Hoff's position, But you know how it is a Republican dies and it's like, you know, the witch is dead and an actual terrorist dies

and we're going to talk about austere scholars. Okay, that's not new, But to piggyback on that, the Washington Post decided to go ahead and take it a little step further. See the Washington Post fifty three years ago. Yesterday, on the very same day that Jim Enhoff passed, sounded the alarm on a disaster new ice age that is at the time would be fifty to sixty years away. So we're inside of that window and we have seven years

to go. Well, as part of it, they updated that not to say, you know this, yeah, maybe we were a little rash, a little harsh, here's the newer information. Instead, instead they pointed out that the threat of a disastrous new ice age at any moment remains. So that's a long way of me saying that at any point today, you could, like Ross, when you're driving home this morning up to Old Wake Forest, you might be looking ahead, do you you know, say you're on

one, you drive on one at all. I know you try to avoid no, I avoid it completely, all right, So you're on whatever road you use falls and news or whatever, and so you're you're you're headed north and then all of a sudden you look up ahead and you're like, what is that a car broken? Is that a big white car broken? And it's a polar bear, and you just you don't expect a polar bear. It's like the Spanish inquisition man, how am I going to get around the

giant sheet of ice? Well, one don't. Well you have an automatic, so I was gonna say, don't down shift, up shift aggressively. Really you want to try to maintain your speed and your direction. Is that a mammoth? And oh you know how amazing a mammoth would be, especially if it can you imagine the number of imbeciles that would try to take a photo with it. I want a mammoth so bad now to be here,

you are threatening people with an ice age in the middle of melt. You know where people will be like, you know what, that sounds fine, I'll take it. How many of you would like a little ice age to break out today if you gotta work outside? How many are like, you know what, give me the ice age? And so they went there they went because people were pointed. They went there. We got seven years left. But no, no, it could happen at any moment, just sitting

there minding your business. You got a nice uh yeah, hot coffee, get you get you going this morning. Some of you probably listen right now with that cup in your hand. You just you got it the old sheets or whatever, and before you can take a sip from it iced coffee. Forget the Hayes method or whatever that that's called, or Hayes ice hack or whatever. You don't even have to use that anymore. Just just be there. So I for one, there was a lot of good news. If

you look at it that came out yesterday. One it might not be a billion degrees. I'm gonna run this by raced Agic and I'll bet that that would be bad news for hurricane barrel. You don't even have to shoot a nuke into it now or whatever. Which by the way, I'm just gonna let you know that the hurricane barrel is impacting some of our back are our tech so or it has the ability to because a lot of our stuff is out of Texas. So if during the course of the show, something we

got we gotta make some tweaks or roll with it. That's what we do here. But we're okay, and we hope that all of our colleagues down in Texas. I got a lot of good friends that work Cryheart in Texas. I hope everyone is okay or doing what they need to do. But that's the reality of things. And it's not a reality we haven't faced before, but a giant ice age on the back end of it, And I mean one that do you know how long it took the last ice age to

form? It didn't you didn't wake up one day and you're like, I guess we got to go kill animals with fur or it's not gonna be good for us. But that was before the Industrial Revolution. Oh so you think we've had the ability to speed it up like basically everything else we do now. But you don't have to. It doesn't take you know, churning butter doesn't take all day. He makes a butter pretty quick. Probably a bad

example, but you know what I mean. So yeah, just so you know, at any point today, it could be ice age city, So I want to watch out for that. We're here to arm you with the information they need. If there was an ice age, would we have to come into work. You know we would. You know we would because you know, you can you imagine the ratings right there, because people want to know what's going on. They'd want to know how many were stomped to death?

Where did this device come from? They and then you know they'd want to know how many idiots were stomped to death trying to, you know, take the selfie with the mammoth. Dude, I'd lean into that. We'd have a sponsor, we'd have a mammoth selfie death count. I know it's a little dark, but people should know better, and I would encourage any of you. There was a story I didn't get to last week. You know what a fan I am of tourist goring season back home in Wyoming,

there was these idiots, I shouldn't say idiots. In fact, if you like what the if you like taking selfies with wildly dangerous animals that weigh more more than a small car, their technique is perfect. In fact, this is what I'd recommend. They didn't just try to take a picture of the bison. They realized it was being uncooperative, so they cornered it. And if you corner a bison right, it's like it's like chess. Right, the bison will respect the fact that you have put it in check. Right.

They're very intelligent animals compared to the modern day cow. So if it's just trying, if it's just trying to bison, you know, do what bison do. Yeah, I concur the best thing you want to do with like a beast of anything. Trap it in a corner. Yeah, you know it'll it'll it'll recognize your alpha status and superiority and at that point will become docile. It was I know, it's one of the little things,

but it was always funny to me. Where they would show they'd show, you know, in a movie, they'd show somebody like and I don't mean in one where it's like there's a certain mythical element like she can talk to dragons, right, No, I mean like where somebody just there's this horrible beast and somebody's just like, I'm really good with the animals, and they're just like, go over, and who's the guy who's the dog whisper?

What's that dude's name? Caesar Milan seel, Even Caesar Milan doesn't people have People have criticized him for making people think that they can run up to that pit bull and I mean you just walk up to and go yeah, which works for a lot of dogs. I mean, look, don't get me wrong, there's there are a lot of things that when when utilized correctly, because you have to you have to let that dog know who's in charge. That's absolutely true. But you don't do that on the first day in your

neighbor's yard with a ski mask on. That doesn't work. Usually there's a process. So I'd see people like breaking horses in an afternoon and I'm just like, shut up. But with bison and manas that works. Sciences, the sciences sounds. So you want to take your hand and slap the mammoth right on its ass, just got to make the sound the season milan, Yeah, you could do that. You can pull its trunk right and they yeah, they're big fans of that. Or let's say you're into ross,

you're into fitness, right, hmmm, Well you're into trying. You're trying all right? If you the tuss are great pull up bars. I don't know if you know this overhand or overhand, you know, one for one and one for the other. Yeah, that's why there's two. This is uh. You know, God's intelligent design. He's like, there's one for this, there's one for that, and uh, and they love it. And since you're filming yourself, you're getting the selfie at the same time.

So absolutely yeah. You run across a mammoth today, jump right on that thing. Probably want to tame it so you can take it over the Alps like Hannibal, which I most of those things are not connected, but you're creating your own adventures. So absolutely so watch out for that today. At any point. Whoosh, here comes the uh, here comes a glacier. And as we know, glaciers move fast. You know what, I'm reminded of what was that awful movie where the ice Age did come back? They

called it one of the least scientific movies. It probably would be the I think you're talking about The Day After Tomorrow right where they have the cold has the ability to insta freeze you. But it comes at you in this at one hundred miles an hour and like cause they're like trying to go out of the library to some other place or whatever, and this guy steps out and you hear this whoosh and then all of a sudden they just you just turned

to an ice block and then disintegrade. And I think that would be the least scientific movie if it wasn't for the core, right, I think that one. Usually, I think both those movies came out around the same time. And if you don't know the core, basically who was who was the inventor? Was Morgan Freeman in that? Was that Morgan Freeman? He was in the Day After Tomorrow? Day After Tomorrow? Yeah, I knew he was in one of them. Yeah, But basically, so I can't remember

who the dude in the desert is. But anyway, he he, I don't know. He found a compound that can resist any heat, which, by the way, this is what killed me about that. So they use it to go to the core of the earth to start it again in a in a spelunking adult toy. I have there's no other word for it, like it's it. I had a there's a there's a much harsher language term that I have for it. And yeah, but I'm like, wait,

you have this composite. He mentions that he's had it for years. Do you understand the amount of lives that could have been saved with a material that resists all heat, think of the think of the the industrial applications of that electronics you name it, man, and they're just these just in the desert. He's like, I know this thing. You don't know this thing.

I'll wait until the corest working, all the whole thing's done. So watch out for the ice age, watch out for the Spanish inquisition, and God help you both show up today. I don't know what you're gonna do. We'll be back the ice age to to befall us. And again I suspect if you're somebody who h works, why is why can't have my Why is my little search thing not working? Dang it? Where is it? Audio search? Okay? I just found it. Sorry, I may have broken

everything. That's great sitting here and they're like, ah, you know, just keep in mind that we're dealing with storm stuff done in Texas, so you know, on your be on your guard should anything arise, and then I screw things up thinking I'm just trying to audio search. Well that's great anyway, as we await the ice age, Ross, would you do me a favor? I didn't see ice age, but could you do you mind

checking in the the old weather window. Oh man, is there a glacier covering I see a squirrel it. Well, no, you, but you wouldn't know. But that's what starts the whole movie, the ice Age movie. Is that squirrel. Now I realized that just after I was saying that. No, so wait, there's always squirrels. And by the way, the windows from the Raleigh studio face north, so that's where I understand the glaciers come from. Does the squirrel have a nut or not? Oh my

god, several? Okay, oh drop the nut? Oh no, what it landed right on this dude's car. That's my car. Yeah, well you put in the parked under the squirrel tree. That's the squirrel tree. We all know that's where the squirrels are. Man, Well it's over for us. Man. That was very irresponsible. Usually squirrels are pretty good with them, you know, they stuff them in their cheeks. Chipmunks they look at the doorable doing that and show boat and squirrel. It was juggling.

You're juggling the nuts, like look at me, log at me human, I'm juggling the boom. Drop the nuts. Ice Age. He probably wants to be in showbiz, which is why he's doing that. Outside of the window there to impress the you know, the the media guys. Is that really what? I've never seen the movie? How does it? What is the origin story of the ice Age in the Ice Age Kids movie? I can't it's been a long time. I can't remember if the Ice Age movie is. I think it's the end of the Ice Age, I think.

I don't think it's the beginning. I think it's the end, okay of the And there's a squirrel with a nut and he's chasing the nut and he gets the nut, and but then like the ice cracks and the ice all the ice starts to crack. But I don't want to be saying that begins the ending of the ice Age. I don't want to be science guy here. Where the hell would he get nuts in the ice Age? He stored them for the winner that but that wouldn't that wouldn't track. Do you understand

the type of cold that we're talking like? Sometimes they store them in their mouths so they can put like all these and the l poofy. Yeah, but he's dead too, So next you're gonna tell me they can talk or something. And then Ray Romano, what, who's a mammoth? Meets Queen Latifa, who's a mammoth, and he hasn't seen a mammoth in a long time, and he's like, we need to propagate to save our species.

You just said that he's in the ice age. How would he have not seen a mammoth in a long time because they were separated by the giant ice wall that wasn't cracked by this quarrel the ice trying to keep on? Man? Is this your dome stuff? Is this? This is the movie? Okay, So he wants to hook up with the mammoth and then you have John Leguizamo. What would that creature look like? Sorry anyway, John, so John Leguizamo, Okay, that's some diversity going here. What's he?

I think he plays the sloth? Do so? Now we have ice laws? Do you know where sloths live right now? Yes? Downtown at the museum up in the tree. Do you know where wild sloths live? I'm pretty sure that one downtown and Raleigh is the last sloth. I don't want to call you out of this all right, Still one I've ever seen? You're aware of my uh travels to Central America correct Costa Rica? Do you

know that they have the largest concentration of sloths. It's kind of their thing, and in fact, you're not allowed to harass them in any way, shape or form. And they have a fungus on them that if you touch them it's actually poisonous to humans, which may be true or maybe something they just tell tourists. So they're not dumb, but they are fans of warmer weather. So I'm starting to think that the science advisor on ice Age might

have forged their resume. I think the greatest animal when it comes to scientific accuracy. And the previous segment, we were talking about the movies that were just way off, like The Core and The Day After Tomorrow or whatever. The movie that really nails it is the movie Zootopia. Whereas the sloth works at the DMV. I mean that one I would believe who plays that.

I don't know if there's a I don't know if it's a famous person, but it's great because they go in and he needs to get like something signed or some stamp to the DMV, and he brings it in. The sloth is just going it's super slow motion as they do, yeah, and he's just staring at everybody's staring at him like perfect, but you couldn't. But you have to understand, man, you can't discriminate against sloths in hiring practices. See you not having children, You've missed all the science here of the

well, Life's age predates Lincoln even a lot older than him. So yeah, and I'm not opposed necessary. I look, I think some of the movies before they started deciding that they had to get all political in them, right when they were still too. Yeah, No, they're great, especially if you have Shrek. Shrek is a great movie. I don't care if you're an adult or kid or any of the rest of it. And and

I have no problem with those and those types of movies. I would be sitting on a couch or whatever, and I'm just you know, at that point, you really only had Netflix back in the day, and so I'm digging through. I'm like, what am I gonna watch? And then you know there might be a Shrek on there, Shrek too or whatever, and I would watch that, I'll admit it, and I'm like, that's funny. Mike Myers was funny of those, dude, the whole thing was great.

And now it's like, you know, diversity topia, right, or you know whatever it is, and it's and I feel like I'm not going to get any of the kind of hidden adult jokes in there, so it's not worth the time. I'd rather watch Veloci pastor or whatever we talked about last week or the week before. Oh man, all right, let me boy? Can I call it? Man? I absolute ross. I nailed

it with the cuts I sent you this morning. What do you think has already been emailed to me several times based on the audio cuts that I sent you this morning? Which one do you think has been emailed to me several times from a rando Twitter accounts and or very sketchy looking blogs. Uh, probably the second one, not the Trump one. You are by NATO. All right, It's gonna irritate some of you, but please please understand I'm only doing I'm trying to help you. Joe Biden yesterday spoke at NATO.

I didn't know what was gonna what was gonna happen there. Obviously he was on teleprompert although to be fair, I'm not surprised by the most Most people when they go speak at NATO are on teleprompter. I the Trump was on teleprompter, So that's not unusual, but I was curious how it went, like everybody else, because you know, world stage, everybody's acting like this will give the chance the world a chance to see him. Do you think

that they don't read the other stuff? Do you think they were Do you think they didn't see the debate? So don't give me that. But there's a couple things floating around, and some of them have been propelled by rather large Twitter accounts claiming that Biden said some stuff right, he had his Biden moments there and it's it's it's all so terrible. One of them is, well, let me let me start with the one that people I don't maybe

they you haven't listened to it yourself. So I'm gonna play it for you. And in fact, I'm not going to set up what people are claiming, he said, I'm going to play the audio first and then I will tell you because I don't want to bias you. Here he is, who's he even introducing to the head of NATO. I don't care. He's introducing one of the NATO people. And in the introduction he's, you know, he's reading his resume, so to speak, and he says this so much

of the progress we've made in the alliance is thanks to the secretary. He's a madame integrity and an intellectual rigor, a colmp tenterament moment of crisis, all right. So other than the fact that his voice kind of goes in and out, which is just really where he is, we talked about this last week where he during the campaign, right, he would yell almost and then he'd do those whisper things, and now they're very closely. He's very

quiet. It's also the reason that people were claiming that they were was it the Stephanopolis interview where they were claiming that they jacked with his mic to make him sound different, and when in reality, it's just he's so quiet. As soon as you have to boost a microphone, it's also boosting any of the other sounds. So that's why it's important when you're setting up a microphone. Let me tell you, I just was screwing with this yesterday in this

morning. You want you want to hit eighty five percent, maybe ninety percent. But but if you have an audio compressor like I do, like Ross does, because you know we're a professional radio station, you get you can take it right up to the level. But you want it at the level and if you're really quiet, now I've got to boost everything going on.

So if there is uh, there is a noise that normally wouldn't be pick picked up, and there is that had ambient noise, right, there's always you know, especially you have electronics, there's there's ambient noise of electronics and other things around you all of a sudden that starts getting mixed in there. But other than that, people are on Twitter claiming that instead of rigor,

he said the how do I describe this? Not the N word, but the N word when you put a W in front of it to imply that somebody is white but acting black, and it is it is a kin. It is an insult obviously, Okay, you know the word. So that is what people are sending around saying that he said, I must be deaf because I'm not here ross, what did you hear? We'll do a two samples here with several cuts of him yesterday and I had to rewind them and watch them, and so the first time I was I would listen. It's

not fair because the person posted it saying that's what he said. So your mind is going to hear that but when I went back and listened to it, I heard the word rigor. Yes, one hundred percent, and I saw what the obviously, what the what was posted? And oh, could you believe he said this? And I'm like, oh, dear God, did he say that? And then I played it and I'm like, no, he clearly didn't. So much of the progress he made the alliance is

thanks to the Secretary. He's a man of integerty and an intellectual rigor, a calm temperament moment of crisis. Okay, all right, and what do you think the secretary is that that's fine, you know for debate and all that good stuff. But no, he clearly says rigor. And this goes into and I got a bunch of people who are like, dh, I quit being a baby. What do you a Biden guy? No, it is not even a fairness thing. Right, I can be unfair from time.

Usually it's out of spite, like, all right, you want to pull this fine game on that being said, it it detracts from when you point out the insane stuff that he did say, or right, because you're going to say this, he's seeing the one thing. Yeah, then when he actually does screw up people are going to say, oh, well, you're just blowing this out of proportion like you did last time. That wasn't

real, So this isn't real, and and and and the thing. The thing about it too is if if you give an honest evil and you do it on the Biden scale, because he's got his own, everyone's going to have their own scale. Right, you could compare Biden to Barack Obama, and Barack Obama for all of the annoying stuff and everything, Barack Obama was a good orator, and in fact it probably propelled him to the point where you are allowed to say the other word, I don't you know what,

I'm not even doing it, sir? All right, you ready, I'll say it. Ross. Are you ready, I'm gonna say, do not dump it? Okay, you are? You are absolved of this. I understand that, ready, rigor because that's what he said. By Biden standards, it could have been a lot worse it was. It was by Biden's standards, it was not that interesting. By the standards of almost anyone in that room who at some point will have to step up and speak. It

wasn't good. It didn't project strength, as they say there's another moment, and I'm not gonna I didn't have rospel the other audio because I just I don't care. But there's another moment where people are claiming that he said that he the dude's wife, you know, And and that's a little harder to hear in the sense that there's a little noise and there's but he said an E D word. But there's a backstory that is directly adjacent to it.

When the dude steps up to the podium and basically Biden and I don't know who all was with him, the secretary's wife started into a conversation and it's any Sorry, ladies, I'm gonna kind of throw you under the bus here. And it's actually not just ladies. If there's somebody who is outgoing in a relationship and another person who is more introverted, you've probably been there where

the whoever's the chatty Cathy or whatever. You know, you guys are trying to leave a party or whatever, and another conversation starts and you're standing there tapping your foot like I've already paid the check, I got the go get the car, let's go home, right. That's an unusual thing. And in this case, the secretary's wife got into a conversation with Biden or somebody in Biden's thing, and it literally delayed him a few minutes from going to

this thing. So talked is probably the word whatever it is, because let's face it, Biden wouldn't use the F term to describe that act, which is what people are that's way too recent, right. He would use like, I don't know, stooped or what. I don't know what is uh? What is the uh? Or email? Is your funny man? What is uh? What's the flappers term for? What's a what's the turn of the century eighteen hundreds term? I mean, what, what do you think

is in the lexicon? I had to look it up. By the way, I think I could say all of these enough time has passed, Ross. Do you want to hear the eighteen hundreds the euphemisms for that particular act that we're used. Maybe we can make one of these great again. I So I just sort of googled it while you were saying that. Yeah, now I'm laughing here at studio because the terms I said, Yeah, I just googled, like old words for sex? Yeah, yeah, and I

think for in at least right, this is who we're going. We have to go back to the fifteen hundreds. Oh yeah, I saw that. I got the eighteen hundreds one, but I saw some of those. All right, that would be due the deed of darkness. Yes, yes, which, by the way, you gotta be careful what that was. They may be inviting you to a Satanic ritual. Look at this. From the sixteen hundreds, it was very common to say, pierce the hogshead. I saw you. You are looking at the same article. I was, all

right, can I give you one back to Reddy? Blanket the horn pipe? That's the winner? All right? Any of you listening later today? Blanket? Was it? Blanket the horn pipe? An listening? You have to try this on your spouse later. Let me know how it goes. Okay, all right, anyway, go ahead, No, it just gets the great This is give give her the green? What is that? Why don't I don't even understand? How do you get there? The old lobster

kettle. I some of these I've actually concerned that I shouldn't read them, is there? But some of them are just hilarious? Man? All right, sorry, I I probably get our life. Can you imagine having to sit in that fcc uh uh hearing, like, what did you what did you say on the radio? Did you say pierce the hogshead or not? Yeah? Oh, I mean baby, I don't know and you didn't. Yeah no. In fact, Ross, you have to commit all of these

to memory. You have down below Pierce the hogs I'm im assuming looking at the Google results, do you see the one at the the the one too below that? Like that one. I don't think I can read the one about salad. Yeah, I was the That's why I haven't read it. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah, so but if people want to google it. The trout one is funny to me, I'll read that one, Drope the trout in a peculiar river? How comes so much of it is about

food? Do you know another term? And I kid you not in the thirteen hundreds or no, mid fifteen hundreds is WAP So these things can come around, all right? Anyway, Oh my gosh, I'm so late. I'm sorry. I just realize this, Ross, I screwed up really really bad because we got to go to break hang on and it is it's getting scary out there. How do I know? CBS News is telling me so.

In fact, it's it's getting so scary because the Margaret Atwood future predicted in the uh No, I was gonna say, Hunger Games, what is it? Oh dude? Why am I now spacing with that show? What's the show with the women in the red gowns? The Handmaid's Tale? He is getting ready to happen because Donald Trump's Project twenty twenty five is upon us. If you vote for him, that's what he's gonna do. And it's got forced marriage and it's basically all the bad stuff. And you heard Biden

attempt to bring it up in a couple of the interviews. This is the new Russia, and the talking points have gone out, and you've got the Biden Harris HQ Twitter account, which is the campaign's quick response account. So people claim it's not, you know, it's just somebody on Twitter. It's not. It is their official quick response account, and it is absoluteize all day, every day. Go through a scroll the timeline. There's more than enough. You got beef with Trump to say, hey, where we're different.

It's garbage. It's as much garbage as the Rigor thing, but arguably more because those are randos on Twitter, This is the campaign account, and so you can see where the talking points are being directed as the as you see what the account is spending its time on. So dutifully CBS News picked

it up yesterday. So if you're one of these folks who your entire worldview is formulated based on what CBS News, NBC or ABC reports, and you see this little, you know, ninety second two minute segment on the news, absolutely terrifying. The and it follows after the account from both the campaign as well as Joe Biden's official account tweeted quote Google Project twenty twenty five, which, by the way, the responses are hilarious on that tweet if you

want to go and read them, but feel free. And then Biden Harris Hu fourth of July under President Trump's Project twenty twenty five. And then it's the you know, a scene from Handmaid's Tale, and it's got the reflecting pool with the big cross on the end of it. So CBS News jumps in, here's the headline, what is Project twenty twenty five? What to

know about the conservative blueprint for a second Trump administration. Now, the wording on that is very interesting because this is not Donald Trump's blueprint at all. The document they're referring to is something, by the way, that is years old and is a project of an organization you've I'm sure you've heard of called

the Heritage Foundation. Heritage Foundation is I've I don't know how long they've been around, but i've you know, I've done stuff where we you know, gotten guests from them for I think as long as I've been doing talk radio. They pitch guests, and they they had they were very good at it. And and and by the way, I'm not knocking on the Heritage Foundation. There are a think take and they have a gazillion people that have gone through there. And some of their ideas are good, and there's gonna be

some ideas that I don't agree with. It's like any pool of things, but they are They're about discourse and discussion. One of the things that they're very smart about in uh in in getting radio folk and TV folk to utilize their experts, is they have a very good name recognition cross section of people. Right, A lot of times we get pitch guests on particular topics and I've never heard of any of them. It's not to say that they're that

they're they're bad pe people or any of it. But we're also in entertainment to some extent. So if I tell you that, and you know, pick whoever the guest is, and it's somebody whose name recognition is there one, it may speak to their expertise. A lot of times it does, but also it's uh, you might be inclined to go, oh, well, I'm I'm gonna make sure that I'm listening to the show at you know, seven thirty five or whatever it is, or you go back and listen

to the podcast what did he say? A lot of times, because the person has name recognition, if they say something and it becomes newsworth excuse me, newsworthy or controversial or whatever it is, that will end up being carried by other outlets. We've had guests on this show where the very same media outlets that I criticize on the regular end up using a quote. And then it's always funny how they refer to the show, because sometimes they won't, which is which is is a snaff foo and it is? It is not

a it's rude and it's not the way you're supposed to do things. When Ral says something stupid, I say, wr L said this. When somebody on WRL says, and I'm like, listen to what this idiot said on WRL, or listen to what this this quote from the News and Observer. Why do they always have this guy? That's what you do? And when I see an article where they're like he told a local radio station this,

I understand why they're doing it. Screw them. It's you know, we got more people than you anyway, if you're one of the newspapers around here, so fine whatever. So yeah, yeah, that's how that works. So with CBS News and sitting there and saying that this is the conservative blueprint for a second Trump administration, it makes it sound as though it's Trump's thing and it's not. And I know this because there Trump has his thing,

and arguably it sounds scarier. Ross tell me what sounds scarier to you, right, Project twenty twenty five or Agenda forty seven. I was gonna make the same comparison, what do you mean, like or the Agenda twenty one comparison? Like I've muted the Project twenty twenty five on social media because I know I've been doing this long enough now to know this is gonna be something that goes nowhere, Yes, but it only has to go up to the

election and tarror people. Right. But if you just want something that sounds ominous, does project twenty twenty five or agenda forty seven? So and I know I'm obviously doing the voice, but the one sounds scarier, right, Agenda, agenda and project. If you those two words, one has a more serious, perhaps ominous connotation, would you agree? Yeah? No, I mean you see this with a comedy too, was certain words are funnier than other ones. Yeah, you've seen, like there was a special with

the like it's called what what is funnier? Somehows like Jerry Seinfeld a bunch of comics on it and talk about, Yes, how certain words will choose because they're funnier. It's just the sound or the feeling of the word like, and numbers are funnier, like seven is the funny number compared to like three, Right, So they'll put it in jokes like that. And yeah, the word agenda sounds more negative than project, Yeah, because agenda sounds

like it's what you want to do. Project sounds like we're working together on this now. And then even more ominous order, can you think of any orders that sound extra ominous, perhaps, yeah, like sixty six. Now, oh wow, what is that is that? Is that about state's rights or something or I cration for my personal opinion. I think it would be like bringing order to the galaxy. That's what it sounds like. Order. Okay, all right, well that sounds Look I wouldn't I would want a

galaxy with wouldn't you. So I'm sure it's fine. But no. So he's got his own thing. And in fact, Trump has commented on Project twenty twenty five and I'm gonna read. I'm gonna read what he put out verbatim, and this is this is I think a week ago, Yeah, the fifth. He put this out on the fifth, and it's not the first time he's commenting on it. But I just pulled it from his truth Social It says I know nothing about Project twenty twenty five. I have no

idea who is behind it. I disagree with some of the things they're saying. Some of the things they're saying are absolutely ridiculous and abysmal. Anything they do, I wish them luck, but I have nothing to do with them it. And arguably I'm surprised he was that harsh on Heritage, But there is a wing of Heritage who are kind of of the never Trump, but that speaks to the broad group that is Heritage Foundation. So again, a lot of people, there's a lot of people who are going to vote for

Trump and wish that he does stuff that he doesn't do. And there's gonna be people who vote for Trump that he does things that they wish he wouldn't have done. That's the nature of it. But you know, for Project twenty twenty five to be the you know, the boogeyman there when he's got something called Agenda forty seven, which, by the way, the number, if you didn't make the connection, would be the forty seventh president. I know, it's a real brainbuster CBS News, though the way that they worded

it makes it sound like it's his. Now you have to read down into the story to understand what's going on here. Let me start. Voters in recent weeks have begun to hear the name Project twenty twenty five and voked more and more by President Biden and Democrats as they seek to sound the alarm about what could be in store if former President Donald Trump wins. So that's your lead here's the thing they're talking about. It be ominous. You better read

up. Overseen by the Conservative Heritage Foundation, the multi pronged initiative includes a detailed blueprint for the next Republican president to usher in a sweeping overhaul of the executive branch. So the front of the story is, here's this thing, here's what the Democrats are saying. Doesn't this sound scary? Then I gotta Then I have to keep reading, and I will give CBS credit. Normally

they put this right at the end, and it's more middle. They write, Trump and his campaign have worked to distance themselves from Project twenty twenty five. Why would they have to work to distance themselves from something that's not theirs. That's like saying that I have to work to distance myself from the new labor proposal for British overtime and minimum way laws. Why would I have to work to do I don't even know what that is. I don't even know

that that's a thing. I'm sure it's gonna be though. Europe is so screwed man. By the way, Ross, did you see they start investigating in the UK some of the former Tory folk. Yeah, so we got what France, they're investigating the penn Now they're gonna interview investigate some of the the British, the more conservative party, and then Germany. I think they're doing it too. How dare you try to upset the apple card of moon

battery? But Democrats continue to tie the transition project to Trump. What happened? By the way, where's Daniel Dale CBS News is he's the fact check guy? Right, Where's Daniel Dale to write a fact check that just says Trumps is this is not Trump's thing. This is from the Heritage Foundation. Trump's thing is called this. Here's the details. We rate this as false.

That would have been done the other They anytime something's attempted to be attached to Biden, even things that are clearly attached to him, or there's a lot of tentacles and would require investigating, like I don't know him coming to the table and sitting down with Hunter's business partners. Remember the narrative was he

never talked about anything. Well, but then he did and then yeah, but it was just you know, fatherly advice and then he didn't do anything and there was no investment in But every step of the way there was a fact check saying this isn't him. They do then later say that Trump did call some of the proposals abysmal, and that's right. He feels that some

of them are. Some of them are things. I promise, if you're listening to my voice, you agree with even those of you who don't like Donald Trump, there are things that the Heritage will put out there that seem like better, more modern. They seem like more efficient ways to do things. And whatever side of government you come down on, you can't disagree that

there are probably ways in which it could be more efficient. That doesn't necessarily mean blowing out whole agencies, although you know, I got some ideas because these are frustrating. Remember we just talked about with the ice age stuff, with the sloth who plays the DMV. I'm going to do this callback, which, by the way, that's a comedy term. I'm going to get

into funny words in comedy stuff, the sloth at the DMV. Right, the better you voted for, you're telling me you've never been in a government office and frustrated with inefficiency. And sometimes I don't even necessarily just put it on the day to day employees where the inefficiency rises from above. If you work in corporate America, you've likely encountered questions where you're like, why are we doing it this way? Would it make more sense to do it that

way? And you know, maybe you're right, or maybe there's things you don't know. That's that's also some of the stuff here. But yes, decidedly the Heritage Foundation, being a left or a right leaning think tank, is going to have more conservative ideas. But again, this is from two and a half two and a half years ago. Two and a half years ago is when they they tied this whole thing together. So uh, but it's out there now and if CBS is reporting it, others will reported.

CBS is headline if you're a headline reader, leads one to the conclusion that this is Trump's thing. That's what I got from it. What is project twenty twenty five? What to know about the conservative blueprint for a second Trump

administration? Now, if you wanted to make a more intellectual argument and try to tie it, I could see how you might do that because if you remember, but he was on the record one of the promises that Donald Trump made, and there were many that felt that this was something that helped him win the election. Was the Supreme Court justice list, right, and it

was a judicial watch right is not who produced that list. And Trump pledged utilizing a list that didn't put together by this group who tracks all these judges. That their top list, and it is a right leaning group of nominees that he would only select from those and that included Cony Barrett, that included Dorsage and that's who he selected from. So he has utilized information outside, but he did it in a very public banner. He made a pledge out

of it. So anyone running this this is where story selection be comes bias. We'll be back hang on. But one of the things that Google doesn't have a lock on is the maps. I understand that the maps app that you may have on your phone, but more specifically the utilization of mapping for the purpose of navigating. Right, do you remember you remember the days?

And yes you can. Of course you can still get the I guess and you can get the actual dealer specific navigation systems and vehicles those obviously are a thing, but most people, I think most people either use an integrated feature and it could be like Apple Play in a lot of vehicles. What is the There's another one too, obviously on the Google side. But people will integrate apps and then the expectation is within the app to use it as your

navigation system, and you can do that with Google Maps. But what do most people? What do most people use? And consider, Ross, do you ever use navigation? Do you ever use navigation when you guys are traveling? And yeah, which one do you use? Use Google mapp? But you don't use Ways at all? Oh okay, all right, well then I stand corrected, at least as rosscoes. I think most people I know

use Ways, and that's because Ways has stuff that Google Maps doesn't. Ways was very smart in the way that they did things, although I do not appreciate how they got bullied out of one of the early really cool things about Ways by a bunch of whiny north the excuse me, whiny homeowners in the

northern suburbs of Los Angeles. Because when Ways first came out, if it was a street and it was legal for you to drive on, it went into the calculations which if you're in a you know, an area with a lot of traffic, that would go ahead, and that could push you through a neighborhood and people start screaming, bloody murder, even though that's a public street. The people driving on it also paid taxes for it. Kiss it.

But Ways made that. They made the changes that basically said no, unless unless there's no other way through, or you're going your destination happens to be within I think it's a certain distance from it. We're not going to push you through a neighborhood, even if it will save you time, which I was very irritating to me because I'm like, this is a really good thing. And Ways also relies on crowdsourcing. Right, if you use Ways, and you're going if you use Ways, and I do, in fact,

I used it. The last time I used it was when I was for like a lengthier drive. Was when I was driving back from the Greensboro studio a couple of weeks ago to Raleigh. Right, and you know, you know that drive, it's just a straight show, just going, going, going, You hit the split, pick your poison, and off you

go. And so I'm back and you know how Ways works, right is there there's police and it's always by the way station, which is why, by the way, I'm just gonna let you know the State Patrol guys ain't gonna like this, but they know you know too, I am. I am constantly, so everybody is kind of mentally ignores that there's going to be police near that the truck way station there, and on multiple occasions I've seen

where that's where they've set up speed traps. I'm not telling you anything that if you're above the age of five, you don't know, and so people will ignore it. And then once you've made that transition to forty coming off, you know, coming from the split, like you're Raleigh to Greensboro, you know, your jot, your your mind is on jockeying for lanes at that point, figure out how far you're gonna get over, how that's gonna work. And you're almost already upon this thing by the time that there's a

radar gun on you. And I've seen like five six troopers sitting there, you know, there, there's a few sitting there. And then over the next like half mile, there's just people pulled over, so like they're adapting to the technology. And there's a really funny video I posted a long time ago, and it shows a guy and I know if he's a sheriff or whatever, and he's sitting in there and he's smiling. He's just sitting in

a squad car, smiling. And he pans down and you see a phone and it has ways and it says police officer nearby and he clicks no, it's him, right, And I laughed. I don't know why I laughed. I thought it was funny, but because it is funny. But in the course of using the ways, there will be pop ups. It'll say police or is there a broken down car? And I'll tell you what ways, I'll tell you where. Ways has literally saved me, at the very

least from some significant damage. Is object in the road. Object in the road is the worst man, because you can't see it. And then all of a sudden you see a car that had been puttering along at like three

over in the middle lane that you happen to be stuck behind. Hopefully you're not following too close, because that person is turning into evil Knievel at that moment, because you know, some truck didn't have a tool or something strapped down, and now there's a ripsaw in the middle of the road and you're probably gonna die hitting that thing. But it could or it could flip back, kill somebody or at the very least severely damage your vehicle, and is

great. It's a great feature, but you don't have to do anything with those pop ups. You can ignore it, and in fact, I think if you ignore it enough, it almost doesn't ask you for a lot of stuff. Google, on the other hand, being criticized because Google has decided they're going to start integrate pop up advertising into their navigation. So if you use the Google navigation system, Google Maps, they're testing out new pop up

ads to promote businesses along the way. And it's not like Ways doesn't do that. Ways does have sponsored businesses, and what happens is the and Google does this with their standard maps. The logo looks different. So if you say restaurant, if you're looking at what would be restaurants, and let's say that they have a deal with Chick fil A, you'll see the Chick fil

A logo and it will prominently stand out from others. That's smart integration because you are dealing not now with people sitting at home on a map trying to figure out where this restaurant is or which one to go to. You're dealing with people who are driving at incredible speeds. So imagine the frustration when you're driving and you're looking down over at your map and there's a pop up ad for an Applebee's. And I'm not picking on Applebee's, but now it's impairing

your ability to look at the map. Some people that's a functionality issue, but in the test, it looks like drivers are getting very irritated because it's now you can't use the function it's for, and now they have to take their attention away from the road to figure out how to purge that and clear that so they can use the thing that they're trying to use to actually drive. So I don't know how that's going to work, but I'm here to

predict lawsuits. Man. And Apple Maps, if you remember, had such a disastrous initial rollout that apparently the new Apple Maps and this we'll see when it gets out with the the whatever the new is it eighteen I guess it would be the newer iOS that's coming. It's been completely overhauled and some of the features they're promising look pretty cool. But uh yeah, if we're gonna get remember how remember how annoying pop up ads became during the early days of

the Internet. If we think we're gonna do that to things that are integrated into our car systems, I don't think consumers are gonna be a big fan. All Right, I have located my very favorite headline. I'll be sharing that with you coming up here in just a few minutes. Let me grab a call real quick. Yes, Jamal, what's up? Hey, Casey? I just wanted to say this. Okay, everybody knows I call them the show all the time. But you have the KCO Day Morning Show Twitter

page. You got the raw Shriff for Hayes twitter page. Now if I say something on my show, no one should be at home. Well Jamal shared this, so Casey O Day, No Cacoday didn't say that. This is what Jamal. I blame that the Hafta Tryoundation said about Project twenty five. President Trump has agenda at forty seven. Now what I do blame the

Heritage Foundation four is this. You have all these conservative shows, what you mentioned, You have your your show, Pete Power, you have Steve Klark, have all these different shows they could have started, you know, having people talk about it. So when liberals found out, oh now we're trying to backcubble trying to read it, trying to, you know, so we

can baby to defend ourself. Then they tried to use it against President Trump because the media was never you know, they you know, people of the bide administration upset and Democrats upset that they got thirty percent of what President Trump got during his presidence. You know, I want to understand it. So you think that that I and POC hosts should have talked about twenty twenty five regularly, so it wasn't a surprise, you No, they they should they

should have had Yeah, I don't. You know, here's the problem, Jamal. I don't need my audience choosing to drive themselves into a concrete divider. If I were to read forty seven pages of that, I don't want to lose listeners. So okay, I just want to make sure that's what it was. Yeah, the whole thing is, the whole thing is dumb. I just imagine somebody somebody turn it off from mean clip and said we open that mean clip. People played in turn and drove off a clip.

Yeah. I don't need that, Jamal. I gotta I'm sorry. I got to roll into my weather for hitting late breaks. But yeah, coming up, on the show. I'm gonna read verbatim Project twenty twenty five. No, I'm not. I'm gonna read my favorite headline, uh in a long time in fact, raced agent. Do you want to hear my favorite headline I've read in a very long time? I do. I was gonna, I was gonna say yes, I definitely want to stick around for We're gonna do it now. I'm not gonna do the story. I'm just gonna

do the headline. Okay, let's do that. You you trust me, you'll be able to google this. Are you ready clown arrested in escort sting? Not as a customer, as a provider moon lighting? Clearly that's great, But how much like you know, are you showing up and the clowns in full regale? Or is does that never brought up? I have so

many questions, will get yea. And by the way, it's a dud thing, all right, all right, so so excited anyway, and it's good because you're gonna bring me down, so do your thing right, Yeah, a little bit. Basically, it's parts of the triad still underheat. Advisory triangle is there's a front coming in. It's cold front actually I'll call it a cool front that's gonna bring in some drier air. That boundary right now is just to the west of a line from about I'm gonna go so

Statesville down towards Shelby and west of Charlotte. But as it comes through today to bring in some drier air, so some of us the further west you go may feel a little less humidity triangle with a heat advisory still low to mid nineties, feeling close to one O five to one ten with the heat indecks. And there maybe a couple of showers thunderstorms this afternoon in a line from about Chapel Hill and Roxboro down toward a Pinehurst and points east and out

toward the outer Banks. A few showers thunderstorms are possible tonight mid seventies. Chance of showers and thunderstorms Tomorrow near ninety degrees, upper eighties the further west you go to mid eighties as you get in the mountains, and then we're gonna have a disturbance come in off the Atlantic. It's gonna try and increase the rain chances for Friday, showers thunderstorms, and over the weekend some scattered showers and thunderstorms. I think Saturday that chance will be on and off again

all day and then Sunday maybe just during the afternoon hours. But we're right back into the nineties. So if we do get a brief break, especially the further west you go, it looks like the ridge is gonna dig in again. Next week could be talked about temperatures getting back into the upper nineties and that's without the heated dext So the change coming will be the wet weather.

Chance is starting to go up over the coming days and then they'll go back down to the temperatures are going to go back up as we can into next week. Okay, all right, thank you sir, do appreciate it for talking an hour. And yes, yes, a clown has been has been charged in a big escort sting and not as a customer, So we'll get that for you. And we got we got a bunch of audio I need to get to as well, including genocide. Joe is apparently no more.

I'll let you know who's thrown their endorsement on Joe Biden coming up. Hang on, some interesting stuff in the police report, all right. Prosecutors have charged a Pennsylvania man who works as a professional circus clown attempting to moonlight as a hooker. The twenty eight year old who goes by what is his

name? The amazing Franco who is I mean, he's not. He's not just for kids birthday parties, who regularly tours with circuses, including you know, some of the biggest I think Barnum and Bailey and a couple others. He actually just came back from a tour. Also works when he's not touring at state fairs and several others. So like this guy's he is. He is upper echelon clown. However, according to the man Frank, but they

the pay for clowns is bottoming out. People just ain't digging on the clowns man, And in fact, he said the money has become so bad that most clowns, he knows, even professional clowns who do a circus touring, unless they're you know, really really high profile, can barely afford to make ends meeting the required to moonlight and other jobs. He's a he is a victim of the Biden economy. Man. See what I did there? Anyway? He let's see here where was his Scranton pas where they did the sting

and they had the undercover officers. He had posted on one of the websites and showed up the phone number that he posted on the website. Actually, if he googled it, it went right to his clown hiring page, which probably not smart. But he ended up negotiating a deal as the provider and then showed up where he was taken into custody. What is tragic here? And I was trying to find it is I want to see the ad.

Was he offering it with the clown outfit or not? Because I have to I mean, I got to think that's a thing for somebody, right, a thing that he could unique provide. I mean, anyone could dress up as a clown, but this dude knows how to do it right. And let's face it, probably more on the female clown provider side. There's certain skill sets that are probably transferable. Yeah, you go, you know, whatever you do? What was it the deed of darkness? Was that the

term we used we heard earlier? And you go home? And also you got a giraffe, So so AnyWho it is, let's see here. Yeah, one, two, they're like three or four audio cuts. I still want to get to. So we're gonna try to make all those work here in this hour. But I've got a bunch of rollover. I want to do. What a crazy week? Man? Do you think that this slows down at all between now and the election? You know, if if once Biden is firmly in there, people are predicting, well, then it'll get

back to the normal campaign. So I don't think it will. I think we've entered into this new phase where did you see how mad people are that Donald Trump isn't outdoing stuff, which is not true. He had a big rally yesterday in Florida, but he's not saying the crazy things that normally they could latch onto. And you have you have like the Tristan Snells of the were of the world, and you have commentators on MSNBC and others who were

like, Donald Trump's hiding. He's hiding so that it makes Joe look worse. No one, he's not hiding. He did that. He did a big Florida rally yesterday, He's got other one scheduled. But also what if he was hiding, Which is interesting that you would bring those words up about a presidential election in these two don't you think ross that that's an interesting choice of words to use when talking about a Biden Trump of presidential race, considering

the the actions of one of the candidates back in twenty twenty. Yeah, I'm just like, so, now hiding is the thing? Okay, all right, I just want to be abundantly clear here. But it goes back

to literally what happened on that debate stage. If Donald Trump want to go on a three week vacation, I think there's people within the Republican Party who would like that, not because not you know, not that within the three weeks Trump would do something to blow the election necessarily, but because it's well, there would be vacation gate, I'm sure, but screw them, but ultimately they would have nowhere to point the cameras but at Biden. And it's

like we talked about with the you know, the Napoleon thing. You know, when you when you're basically when your opponent's screwing up, get out of the way, man, shut up, don't do anything. So, whether that's by design or it's just because of scheduling, who cares. If you care because you think it's harming your candidate, then that's an admission that your candidate is doing things that can harm them. That's why that's a wild admission.

But everybody's having to, you know, all of a sudden reevaluate everything that they were saying last week. Even there's a you know, democrats like Mark Warner and others. Oh, I didn't mean. I didn't mean he's got to go. And I said he's got to go. I meant we got to go in a room so we can have a discussion about how great this is gonna be. You're all a bunch of hacks man. The Wadler's back at Did you see the Wadler yesterday? Jerry Nadler, So, Jerry

Nadler, the pants, the Wadler, the several names. Now he's back out there, and he had jumped off the Biden train. AOC referred to Biden as genocide. Joe, Oh, can you walk that back, by the way, Can you once you've dubbed somebody genocide, whatever their name is, can you hug it out? I get you can. In the world of politics. Look, if a guy can accuse your father of killing Kennedy or whatever, and then you adorse him, maybe I don't understand politics.

The Trump cruise reference it's wild man, but AOC, she's back on the genocide. Joe Trace has spoken to the President over the weekend. Yeah, I have spoken with him extensively. He's clear then, and he has made clear since that he is in this race. The matter is closed. He had reiterated that this morning. He has reiterated that to the public. Joe Biden is our nominee. He is not leaving this race. He is in

this race and I support him. Okay now. And by the way, she's a bad example because I don't think that AOC having a conversation with you o'biden, that she has the ability to evaluate whether he's an idiot, because it would probably sound normal to her, do you know what I mean? Like she's like he couldn't put words together. He said things that were obviously insane, and yes, don't looks normal to me, because like, you're

not a good baseline, You're a moron. So that's, you know, Franky, that's the strategy you need to round up like the ten dumbest members of Congress have sit in a room with Joe and then have them wander out and in using very small words that they have been extensively trained upon say Nope, everything's fine, Everything's the goodest it can be, which is an actual, by the way, quote from Biden from Morning Joe, or and he used the term the goodest. But yeah, for AOC, that's just normal.

So yeah, it is the goodest, low five or whatever. I don't know, but you know that's that's where we're headed. But if you need to going back to what my initial point was, if if your problem with your candidate looking dumb is the other guy isn't looking dumber, you got you got bigger issues you need to work on. In fact, I know Trump out of rally, we have audio, and you know that I'm a

big fan of the golf. All of this golf insanity, right, I challenge him to eighteen as Joe Biden, I challenge him to eighteen holes eighteen. In fact, Ross, can you put up the the handicap stuff from the that he said during the debate or no, we saw the page up, actually don't we? Hold on? I knew I would get a use from this. Hang on, Oh no, it's gone. Okay, I'm

sorry. Uh yeah, well, if you don't mind throwing that up there like this has been an on goo wing saga, which initially started with Joe Biden saying that he would challenge Donald Trump to a golf you know, eighteen holes of golf, but only if he would carry his own bag, which I don't understand. I don't understand that little cat, because that's supposed to be the punchline. Yeah, but he's got to carry his own bag? What what the hell are you talking about? That's the bigger issue here?

Does that mean you don't have to because most people were like, I want to see Joe Biden carry a bag for eighteen holes. No. Then it morphed into this weird handicap argument which broke out literally during the debate. And if you play golf at all and you question a dude's handicap and he responds like I'm gonna play the oh, thank you, and he responds like this. Every guy who plays golf knows that the person who they're talking to,

their their buddy, is lying to them. I don't know how to describe it accurately on radio, but you know how, you just know because they're immediately backpedaling or qualifying. It's the whole when you're explaining, you're already losing thing and usually people fudge their handicaps the other way, right, because you're gonna go play a tournament, you don't want your gin your handicap index to

be the lowest that it's ever been. So like, there's dudes who will go out and screw it that thing, and if they don't, it's it's a constant conspiracy around any golf club. It's true. So listen to this from the debate is, Look, I'd be happy to have a driving contest, yet m I got my handicapped. Okay, so now we're at a driving contest only if they do the Happy Gilmour drive ross would you want it if it was the Happy Gilmore Drive they which By the way, everyone who

goes raise your hand if you've ever tried it. Yes, the moment that movie Cab was in high school, the moment that movie came out, Buffalo Golf Club of Buffalo, Wyoming had to ask us to not try to do that because we it's it's so it was so dangerous for a bunch of dumb kids who thought we were Happy Gilmore. Anyway, all right, so we're in a driving contest, go on you. I was down to a six and by by the way I told you before. I'm happy to play golf.

If you carry your on bag, you can sing do it. That's the biggest line. There's a sixth handicap of all, I was an eight handicap. Eight. Sorry, I don't know why I love this part so much. Well, now it's morphed to a new thing. Are you ready for this? And I because it's all like a check bait or chess moves. This whole thing. Here is Trump from dral Or from his Florida rally.

He's referencing durral which is a core. If you ever fly into Miami Airport and you almost exclusively you make that approach from out over the Everglades, when you make that landing approach, you you got just before you touch down, you are directly over draw that golf course. In fact, during the during the election. In fact, maybe they haven't now, because when I flew through Miami the other week, I actually and it was very rare.

We landed from the water side. During the twenty sixteen election, they had put a giant banner on top of the clubhouse vote vote Trump, which I thought was funny, but so he But it is a legendary course. It's a very difficult course, but it is a legendary course. And Trump's like, hey, we'll go over here. I got I happen to have a golf course nearby, and let's do this thing, all right. So, but there's more to it. And here's what he said, and I can't

wait to see the next move. I'm also officially challenging crook of Joe to an eighteen hole golf match right here underous Blue Monster, considered one of the greatest tournament golf courses anywhere in the world, one of the great courses of the world. It will be among the most watched sporting events in history. This is the part. This is the part that if you don't like anything about Trump, irritates the crap out of you. If you can find the

humor and stuff, this is the most amusing stuff. Would it be the most watched sporting event in history? Not a chance. But listen to what he says next, And it's just because it's about it's the huffrey of it that makes me laugh, maybe bigger than the Ryder Cup or even the Masters. And I will even give Joe Biden ten strokes aside ten strokes that's a

lot. That means twenty strokes. In case you don't play golf, I'll eat any of you strokes aside, And if he wins, I will give the charity of his choice, any charity that he wants, one million dollars. That's great, man, right now, I mean, especially he knows there's no way Biden could ever do it. No, no, not a chance. But why wouldn't he try for the kids? Yeah? Why does

he hate the children? Yes? Look, ROSSI, you don't play golf, right, I do not, But I understand that it's a lot of physical activity, especially if quote, you're going to be carrying your own bag. So if Joe Biden's going to be out there and the Greens carrying his own bag for eighteen holes, dude, bro is gonna die. No, no, no, no, we'll give him. We'll give them Senior Tour rules or Champions Tour. They don't call it senior tour anymore, right,

I understand. Yeah, But I mean, so he can he can ride in a car, no, no, no, I want this. He can even ride in a cart. Yeah, he still can't do it. But if we're going by his own rules, he can't do it. Right, there's hostile hands. But my point is you don't play golf. You would do this right for the children? Yeah? Million bucks? Yeah, I give me a free trip down there to Florida whatever wherever you take the

fan to, you know, one of the amusement parks or whatever. When you're done, whatever, right, because it's for the kids, it's for charity. And and by the way, how a lot of these challenges work. If you ever you ever see celebrity Jeopardy where it's like whoever win, whoever's the least of the the the least idiot, the least of the idiots, which sounds like I qualify, we'll give your charity twenty five thousand.

And then when they get done, there's always that reveal they're like, all right, for those of you who have negative five thousand, because your morons, We're still going to give your charity five thousand. So that charity still made money. So you know, Trump wout's come out and do it. And even if it got to the thing where they're like two holes in because it's you and Trump, and he's just like, all right, mercy rule, let's make I'm gonna write a check for one hundred thousand to the charity

of Ross's choice. You still went out and did a good thing, right, you guys supposed to. I mean it'll still be a million dollars for the Hayes for sure. Got a global initiative fund. Yeah wait now yeah, wait, now we're into possible criminal activity here. Yes, it's because it's for the kids. Actually, here's what you do. You want to do this, right, show up in your lucha door mask. You still have that, Yes, he does, I've got multiple ones, yes,

yeah, yeah, yeah. I think for this event I would wear the red, went and blue with the eagles front. Ye, all right, and then just rip it into the woods. You won't have any trouble doing it and be like, oh, man of shame, it's in the woods. Let me go get my ball. And then you run in there. And then moments later you come out. Uh, you go back. You hit a provisional. I have to teach you the rules, and you're like,

damn, I gotta go play my provisional. But once you emerge from the woods, all of a sudden, you just you destroy Trump, right, you just destroy him. Except on eighteen after you've opened about a five stroke lead on the eighteen tea box, you rip it into the woods again. You go in and get your ball, you pop out and uh you d and you end up winning by one because now your approach and you're putting is atrocious because I guess the pressure is getting to you. Rip off from

that. They spend a lot and it's tired, man, It's it been a long day. Yes, and then after you go and you high five John Daily back at the clubhouse and wink and then you guys move on or whatever. Right for the kids, these are things you can do for the kids. So I guess I'll want I wonder if he'll answer. I think they've already answered. What do you mean? His people came out and said they don't have times for silly games or whatever like Trump does, because they're

serious running. He's he's the one who started it, right, wasn't the initial The initial thing was Joe Biden's saying that he wants to play eighteen holes of good right back, just like the way that it was their idea to start this debate, right, this also backfired. Well, yeah, this would starts the debate, but literally create it in their own arright. I

mean, this is what they do. It's a shame. It would be Look, a lot of people would watch, but it would be for a very short period of time because nobody wants to watch the ambulance, you know, off to wherever. I wouldn't want Biden doing it. I would honestly be concerned for his health. Speaking of his health, apparently a member of the military was also interested. And now all of a sudden, it's bad for people to look for secret records about the president. I'll explain that story

coming up next. Hang on, and by the way, you have to go full jim Nance. Do you know what I'm saying. You have to Dottie Pepper's got to be there. Jim Nance has got to be there, you know, just the whole rest of the crew. It has to look like the Master's production for the kids. And yeah, look, how could you not watch it? But but you know, you don't have the rest of the world there, So I don't know, but it sounds like it's

not gonna happen, even though they literally start. They're one of these kids, you know, like they started it and then when you go to finish, they're like, I can't believe what you're doing. So they literally, So the Biden people said, he doesn't have time. He can if he was it, didn't he take a nap instead of go to one of the NATO meetings or something? Well, I think that's in the stack here today.

But yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, so he had he couldn't go to a meeting as part of this thing because he quote had had to take a nap, quoting this story not necessarily the Biden people, dude, you carve out a nap there, just I sent you the statement, what a bunch of cowards. Now I'm upset. Here we go. It shows up. Yeah, I love this quote it Crystal, Oh, here we go. She said this is the most caddyshack thing ever. So Rodney Dangerfield and Judge Smalls, Oh yeah, except Smales is more coherent. But I'm

just thinking of all the great quotes from Smales. Dude, if even if he only did half of it, and Biden's like, I never slice, I would die laughing. So unfortunately, unfortunately, and fortunately maybe I'm wrong on this, and if I am, that's okay, But I just I can't see the event lasting long. But if you're gonna do it, do it big, all right? Let me let me. I'm just waiting for Russ's email too. Uh. Oh, no, I'm sorry I texted it too. Oh you texted it to me. Okay, I'm I'm sitting there

staring at my inbox, stalling for time. Okay, here it is, dude, did you do check out the games? Singer? That last paragraph? Okay, all right, all right, but you couldn't find anything with lesser resolution. Okay, here we go. Spokesman James Singer. Donald Trump hasn't been seen in public in twelve days, and now he's inviting fictional serial killers to dinner. Yeah, he's seen little Marco Rubio praising Project twenty twice.

That didn't happen. This guy is just remember it used to be you had to spin and it was like the crime of omission was the worst that spokespeople would get another. They just straight up li Absolutely doesn't matter. Nobody's gonna check it. We challenged Donald Trump to create jobs, but he lost three million COVID stand up to putin, but he bent the need to him. Uh. He literally put the most sanctions in of Russia post Cold War. But you know you do you all right? Okay, here we go.

Joe Biden doesn't have time for Donald Trump's weird antics. He's busy leading America and defending the free world. If I didn't, if you were the one who sent that to me, I would assume somebody had it was fake. But also I recognize that idiot's name. Good lord man, you're the one here. Dudes asked for it. He asked a guy who owns all these golf courses like this. If he wasn't serious, why would you do that? What a shame? Man? The poor kids ross Do we know

if any of the kids are still alive or very sad? Oh, they're barely hanging on. Oh man, Tiny Tim over there, he'll be fine, right, Tiny Tim is gonna be fine. Right, get around. You got another Christmas? I know it's a little ways away, but I hope Tiny Tim makes it. Are you gonna hear something crazy? This is

one of those which you don't know, you don't know. And my mind is blown this morning because I saw this headline and I I did the tholl that I wasn't I wasn't gonna I wouldn't put it out to you until I read it, But in my it was at the last minute. This morning, I'm pulling together some stuff, and this headline crosses my path and I made an assumption, and I'm here to tell you my assumption was inaccurate.

This is in Oregon, uh Eugene, organ Okay. July third, a search warrant served after a at the Brick Builders store in Eugene by police. Here's what happened. A ring of theft was was occurring. There is a warehouse and a retail store. I guess it serves not just Eugene, but kind of that Oregon, Washington, Northern California for the Lego company. And this ring, this heighst ring, had stolen two hundred thousand dollars in Legos. And I'm like, I just assumed they had to be like first edition

Millennium falcon Or. I had an at at when I was a kid. I didn't just have the toys. You could get the Lego thing too, And you know, it's one of those things where you think about your childhood toys and what they must be worth. Now I was wrong. They didn't. They weren't stealing stuff out of a display case that was a high end collectible. They were stealing current Lego sets that are sold at Target fred Myers, Barnes and Noble, Walmart, all these different places that you could go

out and buy your kids. Right now, many of the sets, and this is the line that I couldn't wrap my head around, retail on average from between four hundred add eight hundred and fifty dollars. Shut up, there are eight hundred and there's there's Lego sets in the hundreds, is what my brain said. You're telling me there are eight hundred and fifty dollars Lego sets that you, as a parent could have your kid put on their Christmas list this year, causing you to probably get an ulcer. That is that is

insane to me. And by the way, you want to know what the eight hundred which is currently the most expensive Lego set is the Millennium Falcon. They have done several iterations of this over the years. It's one of the most popular of all time, and the current which was released to coincide with the I Guess the end of the Last the Jedi series is the largest ever offered and continues to be for sale and retail for eight hundred and fifty dollars

for a Lego set. Also, how the dollar amount now makes sense because I initially was like, first I thought it was collectibles, But then if you'd have told me it's retail legos, I'm like, how low on the totem pole? Are you as a theft ring? You're like, all right, well they're doing diamonds. Those guys are knocking off that casino. What we are we gonna steal? How about Legos? Well, now that I know that Hogwarts Express is four hundred and fifty dollars the train, I think

the castle's more than that or not? The cat that guy, I guess is it a castle or a schooler both? I guess it's both. That is wild. It's crazy. You walk up and down the toy aisle, right, and it's you wouldn't think so. But legos are one of those toys now where they have them like wrapped up in the in the plastic that don't steal me, don't steal me thing. Yeah, legos not not like a PS five, but the PS five also has it, but it's not

like an excess Legos. Well that's basically more expensive than a PS five. Those things. I just say, what's a PS five four hundred bucks? Right? I have four five hundred dollars yeah, I the Hogwarts, the two Hogwarts things I just mentioned. They're both basically the same price, and there's three Star Wars stuff that is more expensive. Millennium Falcon is eight to fifty. The at At is eight fifty. Wait, how is the Falcon eight fifty as well? No? Yeah, no, they're both eight fifty.

I have a list here. I literally they have a crane that's seven hundred Titanic for six eighty. I guess you probably don't get to use that once it says it actually floats. I started laughing because I'm like, how accurate can it be? Can you imagine you get all your lego people on there and you're having to recreate that as you're as a child. Does it come with the iceberg? I'm almost almost I bet you it does? Hold on? All right? Sold on? Then only a description? There are

well, there are no mini figures. That's probably a good decision. Just the Titanic itself with all its riggings. The iceberg is probably extra. So yeah, it's not in an extra How hard would it be for an iceberg? One? Right? It's all the same color, right, like white and gray? Yeah, and then the eventataur or Venator Class Republic Fighter. That's six point fifty Eiffel Tower. Yeah, these are all more expensive than than the than the damn p S five. I had no idea. You

guys, are your parents are screwed? I'm so sorry. All right, Race Stagic Weather Channel. I I had no idea what legos cost. Now did they have well, it's seem did they have the Razor crest. What's the the ship from U? Yeah? The Razor yep. Yeah, in fact, that's number seven on these most expensive So you want to know what the Star Wars Razor costs from the Mandalorian six? Yeah? Did you?

I never I never got into legos. I had. I had some old school legos, but the problem was my mom instituted a policy if it was left out yep, So you could one piece of lego from one set and if it's out, it's gone. Yeah, I tell you a funny story. So she and she held to it. My mom said she was gonna she smashed her Nintendo with a hammer mm hmm, and I yeah, and maybe we have all we have power tools. I thought she was going to

hit the bands, but but the legos would disappear. So I had, like lego sets with like random pieces missing, and my sister, who was absolutely gonna get in trouble, went in and found that my mom had him in a baggie in a drawer and a dresser we weren't supposed to get in, and my sister, being the legal genius, she was called by mom out on it, thus admitting her attempting to access this drawer. Yeah, I never got my get my pieces back. I was while I still am.

So I'm a toy train collector, and when I had toy trains as a kid, my mom would just take the transformer away, the part that actually runs them. So yeah, that's what, Yeah, it is all right. I just looked at the clock. Give us an evil Yeah. Yeah. Some showers, thunder showers, especially for the Triangle East today, a little less humid air coming into the west with a front, but still in the areas that are under the heat advisory, a little bit nineties will

feel close to one o five, maybe to one ten. So another dangerously hot day today Thursday, Friday, scattered showers, thunderstorms, got a week carry low pressure developing, which within the last twenty minutes the Hurricane Center actually has slapped on a ten percent chance of that developing as it moves in to the southeastern ust here by the upcoming weekend. So unsettled for the beaches over

the next few days. If you are heading out to the beaches, I'll be able to look out for rain, thunderstorms, maybe some gusty winds. At this point, low chance of a depression or storm to develop, but we'll keep an eye on it. Okay, thank you so appreciate it, and Jeff Bellinger joins us next. Hang on, Oh morning, Casey, you spoiled me with all the time yesterday. Wall Street's major averages ended yesterday's

session within about a tenth of a percent where they started. The Blue chips were down a little bit, s and P and NASDAC rose to new highs, and the futures are higher right now across the board. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell acknowledged in his Senate testimon yesterday that central bankers are aware high interest rates pose risks to the job market, but they still want to see more

evidence that inflation is cooling. Powell testifies before a House pedel today. A prominent media executive says the merger of Paramount Global and Skydance Media will be good for the industry. Warner Brothers Discovery CEO David Zasloff told reporters at the Sun Valley conference he expects the deal to lead to a healthier industry. In case, making a living means spending a lot of time working. For many Americans, Bank Creates latest survey found more than a third of all adults have a

side hustle that brings in some extra money. In casey, nearly a third of the side hustlers think they will always need that added income. Well, that is that is a horrible outlook. So thank you, sir for that. Siate o. Kid, have a good day, yep. Jeff Pellinger their Bloomberg News. You know I've talked about not knowing what you don't know? Do you guys? How did you not know what trash cans in New York were? Why did I just find out yesterday that New Yorkers don't use

trash cans? What the hell was going on in right? So listen, when I went with vacation right this past June, that week of Juneteenth, I went back home during the heat dome of doom up there in New York. All right, can you pop pause for SI. I just let people know this is based on Eric Adams holding the Mayor of New York, held a press conference to unveil trash cans, and it was he did it very smartily, walked over the bag of trash, dropped it in the can and

went, look what we're gonna evolve too. And I'm like, wait, you don't know what that is? All right? So anyway back to this right, So it's like Tuesday or Wednesday's trash day and Mom's like, can you take out the trash the curb? Like, yeah, I'll do that, So go out. And my dad way back in the day, like I'm saying, like back in like nineteen ninety three ninety four we moved into that house. He got some you know, plastic bins that we put the

trash can. So I start dragging the plastic bins to the curb, these old blue ones, the same ones we use back in the day. But I look down the string and everybody else it's just black bags piled up on the curb in no no bin or no trash can. I'm like, what is this about. Mom's like that's what they're doing. They just put them out in the carib in the black and they're disgusting of that gross And so my dad back in the day was like, we're not doing that because of

animals and stuff. I'm gonna put him here and then you could put them in the in the garbage truck. But apparently that's not a thing for most people in New York that I had completely forgotten about. And it is gross and disgusting, just these nasty trash bags in the curb piling up. Dude, it's so nasty you would you would die where I'm from. I told you already that we would have to the amount of lockdown if I did not

snap all the bungee cords on the on our bins. Now we had, right, right, We also have the bungee cords back home, yes, right, but because bears man and my mom. I told you, my little tiny mom would run out with a pot and pan and a spoon beat on it to scare it off the little black bears. But you know you got other bigger bears around there. I can't imagine just throwing a bag of garbage on the curve and not assuming that you're probably not gonna get eaten.

But it wouldn't be destroyed. It's just so gross. Did you see the update on that story yesterday? What's the Oh, what's the update? They came out with how much it cost. They there was some actually things predictable the cost of it. So the city went to this organization to test to see, like you know, with the trash cans help and they said yes they would, and the bill for the city was four million dollars.
