Pretty slow around these parts. Thanks for asking. Ross is back and he was just wondering if he missed anything. No, we you know what was good we got now we got a couple of people trained to run the board for when you're gone. So that's good kind of that was that was something we were needing to do. So no, we took this very slow opportunity, this, this this dearth of news to go ahead and do that.

Why do you ask? You know, I'm just saying, after the nice twelve hour drive back from Tennessee yesterday, ten of which were in North Carolina, what about right, it seems that way. Yeah. Yeah, it's just good to be back, refreshed and see if any news happened while I was gone. Yeah, understandable. Yeah, Oh seriously on Saturday though, So on Saturday we drove into Tennessee Markey Markey's grandmother passed away. She had a stroke last week, very sudden, and she died due to complications.

So we drove to Tennessee and we checked into the air and after d eleven twelve hour drive and I look at my phone. Oh, and I've never seen so many individual texts from different people all at the same time. And I'm looking at my phone and I said to Markey, I said, dear God, did a bomb go off or something? Right, like, what is this? And we have messages from the boss saying, hey, can you guys come in, and I'm like, I'm a little bit I can't do it right now. I'm sorry. And then I you know, check

social media. You told me what happened. You're the first person that told me. You're the first person. I responded to him, like, what is happening here? Yeah? Yeah, And I'm like, this is bad. And then everybody from the family who was there for the funeral it's texting me as well because they all want information from me. And I'm like, I'm just finding this out in the same time you guys are, yeah, like you have the magic you know, you have the magic tablet that's connected

to the inner circle there. And then we have the wake on Sunday, we have the funeral on Monday, and then stuff about the RNC starts popping up, and I'm like, this is the R and C week as well. It was a little busy, I guess. Yeah. Yeah. So you know that scene in a movie where a bunch of people are at a thing. And I'd tell you a good example is like, uh, you see it in like that movie Swat. I think there's a scene in Top

Gun like it or something. But but but but where everyone's device starts going off simultaneously and it's in the whole mood is just done right because something bad happened. We need we need you over there. And but it is that slow realization where just all of a sudden, something's happening. So I'm sitting in a Thai restaurant. I am eating a bowl of the was it tom young guy? Whatever the soup is with the coconut and the chicken spicy.

Oh, it's good stuff. I like that stuff. And I see people literally looking at their devices and and you have to understand the ross understands the oddity of this people looking at their devices and conversing with each other. And I'm sitting at the bar because I'll sit at a bar if it's just me and eat. So I'm sitting there, sitting at the bar, eating my soup. They don't have TVs or anything in this bar, because I mean it's a you know, it's a Korean restaurant. It's not a not a

bar. Bar per se, and everyone is sitting there, and there's two guys that are sitting at the bar as well, from Boston, of all places, because I can hear their accents, and I'd spoke to them for a few minutes, and all of a sudden, one of them sees what's going on and he just kind of turns his phone and points it at me, and I'm like, okay, all right, and here we go. And it was minutes later that you and I and station management and everybody is

trying to coordinate this thing. It was. It was wild, and if you think the day of was wild, every preceding day since then it has somehow gotten crazier with little factoids. The factoids that came out yesterday are almost more mind blowing than the idea that a twenty year old has no digital footprint. I can't stress enough how that's the This is the first thing when Ross and I talked this morning that he started in on that was the very like

I said, I had a long drive yesterday. First thing, Yeah, to contemplate all of it. I had a long drive and I was figuring by the time I got home, Uh, there'd be some more information on this dude, because yeah, you're yeah, what so, so you're telling me maybe maybe maybe more has come out that I am unaware of. But so, dude is twenty right, right, and he was involved in obviously

a political assassination. So you would think at some point in his life, at being twenty years old, he would post some sort of political meme on a TikTok or Facebook or on Twitter or on Instagram, or at some point in his life he would thumbs up a YouTube video or he would have a YouTube account, or he had been on Reddit. You're telling me this twenty year old, twenty years old has never posted anything political on the internet.

That is kind of hard to be not just political anything anything you didn't you know it does. He didn't take a picture of a sandwich and go, oh my omg, look at this the only thing that I saw when I saw this yesterday before I went to bed, and I can't I don't know if it's true or not. They say that they found his Steam account, like video game account, and he was playing some game about the president, like there was a political game he was playing. But at this point,

you don't know if that's going to be staged or not. But it's very odd to have a twenty year old, right was he? Was? He a modern day Ted kazinski I When he had like the explosives in the back of his car, he like self taught, went to the library or whatever. Because how does that even happen in four I don't know. I don't know, you know, could I make a device that explode? I think I could with the help of the internet. Yeah, I don't think the

complexity is there. Now would it work? I don't know? Right, And maybe this has also been debunked, but I was reading it. So this kid's aloner and who's bullied in school that I believe from we did. There are videos from other students of them screwing with this kid, so I think he absolutely was. But he was also in a black Rock commercial in twenty twenty two. That is true. That is true. That one is true. That's true. We were talking about it. He just never introverted

so well. But understand listening, I've been in media for a long time. Yeah, I've been doing this now almost thirty years, and I still hate being on camera. I'll do the twitch thing, but I still have like anxiety attacks from that. So you're saying this kid is like so like super introverted, because I'm saying if they were to come here, like the boss, Trevor goes, hey, we're going to be filming a commercial tomorrow for whatever the company is, and the camera is going to be here,

I'm going to be sneaking out of here like I'm Jason Bourne. I'm gonna be in and out because I do not like being on camera. And this kid, who was a super introverts like, yeah, I'll do the black

Rock commercial. Put the camera on me. I'm cool with that. So, so the commercial, the crutch of the commercial was it was black Rock trying to portray you know, it's one of these hey we're we're a good neighbor, right, you know, we're just we're just like you and not this behemoth that is manipulating culture and forcing companies to literally play along with our DEI want so that their score will allow them to get working capital or go

out of business. Right, We're not the monster that, frankly we appear to be on paper. And so here's some teachers making a difference. And so he is in a classroom and he's sitting right up front and the camera is on the teachers on the board, you know, you know, write and teacher stuff, and it's just a quick little shot there. But yeah, yeah, he's straight up right there center frame. Another thing and another question for you. So yeah, yeah, I'm just gonnappeal the onion here.

Okay. It's gone through a lot in the past weekend. You know, I've been thinking about life and how precious it is, and I'm thinking, but I'm trying to focus on work as well. And it's so you're telling me this kid shows up at the rally with a rifle and a ladder, a twelve foot ladder or five foot because the receipt says twelve foot, but the reporting is five foot. So that's another like, what what is going on with that? Maybe he traded on the way because he parked he

parked a mile away in the home depot parking. Okay, So he walks a mile a mile with a rifle and ladder and a twelve foot ladder or five foot door five foot to the rally, sets it up and goes up on the roof. Have you a rally ladder? You don't have a rally ladder? Have you ever, like you know, tried to walk because I've done this before, going from my backyard trying to work on the gutters. Right, yeah, and I've got one of those twelve foot ladders, and

it's very awkward. You're walking from like one side of the yard to the other, and you feel like you're like, it's like three stooges, like you're actually knocking out shemp and you're like, you're stupid, You're you're you're the poverty stooge. Anyway, get out of my yard. So this kid is just walking and you've seen him. He looks like a complete soy boy, right, So he's not like, he's not like he's jacked or anything.

Putting this ladder over his back and just walking. So this kid is like fumbling and walking with the rifle in one hand and the twol full ladder in the other hand. You're put on the roof that has the slope and slope roof not an issue, no very dangerous roof too. It's so dangerous that apparently law enforcement couldn't be up there because it's sloped. I'm sorry, have you ever been on a roof it's not perfectly flat? Have you seen

my roof? Has she been on there? You're you're literally a Navy You're literally a Navy seal. Congrats. Yeah, it's it's so dangerous to be saying, pitch. I have some questions as what I'm saying. You know, Okay, first of all, you don't have a rally ladder, that's what it sounds like. So that's just weird. Who doesn't that's how, you know, so you can see better. But but all of this, and what the left is focusing on is the bandage in Trump's ear. Oh

yeah, covering up nothing probably huh, probably nothing under there. Did you see somebody who's posting is this like a pillow? You get a team, you like, you order the pillow and that shows up as a little tiny one, little tiny yeah, or what's the other one? What's the other one that they always make fun of? It's not teamy. I can't remember

what it is that was. That was obviously gonna beme. So like the thing you think it is right thing when you get it off this but yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, well it's uh, you know, he's the guy's putting in eighteen hour days plus. Donald Sutherland passed away three weeks ago, and you're telling me that's a coincidence. I think Don just because he's been in a few movies about this. He was mister Black and JFK

remember sitting that bench. Yeah, and I could hear like when I'm thinking of this stuff, I'm here and I'm thinking in his voice from that movie, like, we would never let that your roof one hundred and fifty yards away from the president be you know, not watched. We would never let a Sway boy who weighs one hundred and twenty pounds walk a mile to the rally with a rifle and a twelve foot letter or five foot or five I

have a rally cherry picker. You've seen it? Oh do you? Yeah, you don't have to carry it. Then you can just kind of wheel it in. What a cherry picker is. It's the big thing with the basket that's on like the four wheels, with the heavy bass that you see guys working on power line. Anybody can watch the rounds or yeah, from like you know, a regular point of view. But when you can get your cherry picker and watch the rally from above the candidate, that's pretty impressive.

Yeah, it's got a bunch of like Trump twenty twenty twenty Yeah, it's got the it's got the whole series going back twenty sixteen stickers all over it, so it fits right in, it blends right in. So, dude, I had this other thought, and I was waiting to run this by you because the dude was wearing some YouTube channels merch that's got to be nightmare fuel right there, because like, you don't want anyone committing to crime or for sheriff thing right at that point. It's a complete rebrand of your

product. Yet. Yeah, yeah, so you know then the conspiracy, I would say that there's a lot of conspiracies that are emerging here. And are there some on the right. Yeah, absolutely, But like you know, you have a member of Congress that's a former sniper, right and he's being interviewed and he's just saying, like, there's so many things that are

so insane here that a simple investigation of response to him. Did you see the video I tweeted yesterday of them unable to their quick response team is unable to gain access to the building. I, like I said, I wasn't on social media at all yesterday. Okay, go on go to the Twitter and look for the one where you see about twelve cops Secret Service standing there

behind a chain link fence. So if you haven't seen it, there's things going down, and the quick response team is inside the rally and they never left an opening even when a controlled opening right of this fence, so they are they can see the building, you know, one hundred feet away. It's right there, except they have no way to get through that fence to where this is happening. And they are ramming the fence on multiple times with a squad car trying to knock a hole in. This is jump over the

fence. It's a slope fence. It's very I'm thinking, I'm watching the video time about right now, and it's like like a fence you'd have in your yard. Just jump over the fence, dude, Yeah, yeah, Hm. Then you see the squad car on the left trying to bang the thing down. It's wild man. Now, Dan Bongino take this for what it's worth. Dan Bongino says he has an unimpeachable source that says that there was supposed to be somebody. Oh and the other thing is the building is

literally housing a swat team or a sniper team. It was the sniper gathering point, the building that the dude's in with his five and or twelve foot ladder on the very dangerous slope roof. So we're all the snipers in there like to protect Trump, and this kid walks in with his ladder and his rifle and he's like, how do you do, fellow snipers? Right?

Yep, yeah. And Bongino's thing is that there was supposed to be somebody to actually be on that roof, which would make sense if you look at the aerial footage of the of the event, and you've probably seen it with the pac Man diagram that gets passed around when you do the security circle, there's this V carve out and it's for those buildings. And don't get me wrong, a security perimeter in a lot of cases isn't going to be a perfect circle, right, But more often than not, it's going to go

in the other direction. When you have a series of buildings in an elevated position that are within a and I can't stress this enough, even though I stressed the heck out of it on Monday for nearly an hour of the show. When you have something that is heaven for a sniper or somebody wanting to

do harm. That is within a range that even the even the most basic person who signs up for the military and goes to basic training is a shot that they're expected to make within a few weeks, not that they can make or that they're really good. They are all expected to make that shot. It is such a it is such a short distance that you would think that

that'd be in there. Bongino's thing is that there was supposed to be somebody who just didn't show up that day, and they were they were undermanned, and then they just didn't pivot to cover it, which I don't know if that's conspiracy, that almost seems human naturey. So oh yeah, there's a lot we need to know, and we'll dive into what we can coming up.

Hang on, it's weird that an individual who has no online presence but an affinity for twelve and or five foot ladders would be adorned in merch from a YouTube site of some sort, considering normally the way you come about merch from a YouTube video site is by I don't know, watching the video. I mean, it's just super weird, dude. They keep saying that there's no internet presence on this kid. He's the only twenty year old on the planet, right, no Internet, no YouTube, no Twitter, no no

Facebook, no reels, no nothing. He's never had a YouTube account. What is YouTube? He has no idea, he's never liked a video. But he's wearing a shirt from a YouTube channel. It makes no sense. I'm gonna go with uh, I'm gonna go with one the object of ayre because it is a gun you tube, right, I don't know if you actually checked to see what the YouTube was. I'm gonna go with because they the left has to identify the boogeyman, right, and Van Jones is doing

a fine job on the CNN with essentially everyone being it. But I think that by honing in on a gun site on YouTube, that's probably gonna be the wind for that. Once again, I was unaware of this because have been gone for the funeral in Tennessee. So you're telling me the shirt that the kid was wearing was a pro gun shirt. Well, yeah, I mean it's a it's a gun tobe. It's a gun tube YouTube channel, all right, where they It's weird because I kind of eyeballed their videos.

I'm not super familiar with it, and I didn't see anything in there about assassinations or anything, mostly like Tanner right and stuff. But you know, you get the spin on this stuff, man, and you're able to uh, you're able to deflect from the horribleness. Can I offer a possibility just and this is just a theory. I want to be one hundred percent clear. I have nothing to back this up. I'm I'm like everybody else, just trying to plug in the pieces. What if this kid was and we

keep calling him a kid and he's not a kid. He's twenty, right, he has reached the level of adulthood. What if this individual when he was a kid obviously dealt with an immense amount of bullying. He strikes me as somebody who would if I could just stereotype for a moment. And that's backed up by the videos. And you see the other kids at school doing all the stuff the bully kids do right where they kick your foot out from under you, They you know, kind of flick you in the back of

the head, your ears and stuff. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, all the stuff they do that teachers will just ignore in many cases, although maybe less so nowadays with his crazy as it's getting. And and that follows him all through his adolescent years. Eventually, now he's an adult, and even though he is away from that behavior, it probably was. It probably was really the only time he as weird as his sounds, he had a lot of people interacting with him. It's people are gonna get mad at

me over this, and that's not my intention. And he's sitting there and he's realizing that he thought getting out of high school would make all of this stop, when in reality now he's suffering through adulthood, not having a big friend circle, and things aren't getting better for him. And maybe he's not political, but maybe he says, you know what, I'm gonna do something and they're never it's not even I'm gonna show them. I'm gonna do something

and they're gonna know who I am. Not only that, but he's gonna do it to the person he's been told since he was what twelve years old, is the worst person on earth or the next Hitler is exactly where I'm going, And he says to himself, what can I do so they will always remember me? Now? The only thing that flies in the face of that is that attitude. Generally I would assume has some sort of manifesto. You know what I'm saying, That sounds somebody with that mindset generally wants to

make sure that they're remembered exactly as they want. But to your point, if you're now looking for what you can do, and you know that this would be the biggest thing you can do based on what you've been what you've been fed for most of your life, that falls squarely into the rhetoric discussion.

That falls into the I keep hearing how he's the worst person ever right, an existential threat to democracy, or he'd be better off gone, and and so that's and then boom, here's this gift right in your backyard. This is happening right here. He knows the area, how any how many of you grew up in a small town and you know your fair grounds? How many of you grew up in Raleigh and you know the fair grounds?

Dude, I've been here since what two thousand and six? And the end of the fair grounds right, how many in the triad know who have frequented the Dixie Classic over the years, could probably in your head draw a map of the fair grounds there up in Winston. Absolutely, Now that being said, I don't know even though I know where the Dorton Arena is, right, I don't know if I could bring a twelve foot ladder and a rifle and carry that a mile to Dorton Arena without knocking myself over somebody else on

the way. I mean that might be a little difficult, right right, A little problematic. A five foot or twelve foot ladder, Well, the receipt would say twelve, but the media would say five. I see, what if it's that magic ladder? Remember the magic ladder from the infomercials. I want to say it was the was it the oh? I can't remember who was Billy, who did it or whatever? But they had a ladder that the US to have an infomercial over it did everything. I heard people

rally ladder that seems like a good one. I heard people too. I was reading a social media when I did get home yesterday, and they were like, well, was it an aluminum letder a fiberglass letter? That would

make a big difference. I don't know, man, But going back to my theory, if in fact that was, that was how it played out where he was looking for something to fulfill this this this fantasy or this this end game that he has envisioned in his mind and he's settled upon this thing that he's been hearing about for you know, since twenty fifteen, twenty sixteen. That is an absolute indictment of this language discussion that we're having. How

about how about Jack Black? How about Jack Black with having to sit there and and now canceled. Now he's canceling the rest of the Tenacious detour politicians in Australia trying to get him and Kyle Gas deported Black saying he was horrified when he heard Gas say what he said on stage the other day, which was for his birthday. He just he wants he wants to not to miss next time, and Black said he was horrified. He's very sorry, but he repeated it. If you if if you listen to the audio, Jack

Black repeated it and kind of chuckled. Now you might do that because you're really uncomfortable with somebody has said. But it doesn't help that Black was one of the hosts of the Joe Biden thing that was along with George Clooney three weeks ago. And uh he the talent agency has dropped Gas. I guess I honestly, I didn't know his name. I just knew him as the other dude from uh Tenacious D. But that guy's a piece of garbage.

He thought that that was hilarious. He went out and did it. Now he issued a stay been saying, well, you know, I was just trying to be edgy or something. I'll read their stuff coming up. I'm paraphrasing right now, but it's not good man. And now do you think it was really like, you know, surprised by it, or was a

matter of it happened? And then suddenly he's starting to get calls from venue's canceling, and he's like, I've got to go into in the control this and I gotta take control the narrative be like, oh, I'm so appalled, I'm canceling the tour. You know what cynical me thinks that I think.

I think that. I think that had there not been blowback almost immediately, including uh uh politicians in Australia wanting to deport them, right, I think if that wouldn't happened almost immediately, I don't know that Jack Black would issue the statement. No, I don't think suddenly he like grew a hard

overnight. I think it's a matter of they started canceling on him, so then he took the u oh yeah, he took control of it and canceled the tour to make himself look like, oh no, we're we're appauled that I'm taken me up completely by surprise, that I'm not going to stand for this. And people are like, well, he had to throw his he had to throw his partner of thirty years or whatever under the bus. But no offense to you, Ross. But if you got on here and started

calling for assassinations, I'm gonna dip out. So sorry, man, Yeah, you know, I assume then that's why I would never say something like that, because you know, it's disgusting. Yeah yeah, yeah, it's pretty horrible. Typically you know it just want to put you out notice, and I would expect you do the same for me. Okay, all right, I mean we can't call for karma to you know, or the the

veil to be lifted on stuff. But it that is very different. And that is not how because I saw some people trying to spin it, which was amazing to me. Of all the things to try to spin, that was that seemed the most obvious. But anyway, all right, I'll get you exactly what they said. We'll get into that. We'll hear from a handful of politicians. Also, the Morning Joe thing is interesting. I didn't know what to think on Monday, and now that's turning into a whole thing.

And is MSNBC and CNN growing a heart, I don't know. That's pretty crazy. We'll get into those details next here on the Cacoday radio program. When this latter enthusiast was spotted by law enforcement doing questionable stuff to when the shooting actually happened, have you seen the timeline is now, I've not twenty six minutes, twenty six minutes from the time that a member of law enforcement saw him doing stuff he shouldn't be doing, including and not limited to

using a range finder. Do you know do you know what it looks like when somebody uses a range finder right with the one hand they're holding the device and they click the button and they'll give give him a range Golfers will use it, hunters will use it. People wanting to shoot stuff will use it. Twenty six minutes. It's like the more the more that comes out, the more insane and almost near impossible in it is to take what you think

you know about Secret Service protection? What do you think you know about Secret

Service protection? If you can attempt to divorce the happenings of Saturday from it, you probably the most people's opinion was tight as a drum, right, kind of cool, Right, And if you ever get into like the tactics and what they do, it could be a little intimidating if you've ever if you've never been around Secret Service, to be in close proximity to them, because you're like, I don't do anything stupid, right, and they're just

out there. You can pick who they are and they're scanning this, scanning that. Yeah, they're supposed to be. I would say, like, you know, like a few moves ahead of everybody, right, they got a plan for everything, Right, this happens, we go here, this happens, we go there, and and you know, understandably that's how it's

portrayed. But to be fair, there have been a lot of incidents where Secret Service has they have been able to do things maybe not you know, to thwart something at this level, or at least nothing we're aware of. Right, there's probably some stuff we're not aware of where a well oiled machine or apparatus was definitely what was on display, and here it does not appear

to be that. And whether it's because the new boss is an idiot who was put there at the best of Jill Biden's office, which is what the reporting is. Who doesn't want to put agents on sloped rooves? Does she have a particular pitch where it becomes untenable. I don't know how many of you are listening to the show right now who are going to be on a roof today. Probably you know, any of you contractors out there, roofers

obviously, but people who do gutter stuff. I mean, you don't want to put a secret service agent up on the roof though it kid's so hot in the summer, dude, it does. Yeah, you're putting that, You're putting their knees in danger. Yeah, well, he get some knee pads. If you look at the little sniper kids, a lot of them will have knee pads on there, especially the dudes who are kidded out. So yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just absolutely rot with danger,

just the worse and worse it gets. Yeah, here we go. We heard Monday from DHS Secretary Alejandro Mayorkis that he has full faith and Secret Service director Kimberly Cheetle, who said she's not stepping down after the assassination attempt on Donald Trump. Cheetah was interviewed by ABC News and said the reason the Secret Service didn't have snipers on the roof is because it was a sloped roof. We've seen the video. You've seen the slope on it. It's very minimal.

Yeah, there's such a slope that the shooter was laying face down on the roof without falling off and getting up. If you see the video, he keeps getting up to reposition himself, move stuff around, you know, get ready for the get ready for the shot. People are yelling while this is going on too, and he's just like he didn't care or it at least doesn't seem to react in the video. The building in particular had a sloped roof at its highest point. Yeah, you know what I'm here to

tell you? Do you know why I, if I was to take a shot off of a building, would would like that? Because I now have my rest. You've provided my rest for me. I don't have to I don't have to fold up a jacket or you know, flip the bipod sticks. I don't have to do any of that, and you've provided me an extra level of concealment. So if I have a slight slope on a roof and I want to shimmy right up to where the slope is, I can put my rifle on that I can remain where most of my body is hidden

from behind the other side of the slope. So somebody looking from the direction I'm shooting is going to have less to profiles. Yeah, sure, they're going to see the rifle, and they're probably going to see, you know, the the upper half of my body. But it actually solves some problems for me that a perfectly flat roof would would would bring about the building in particular as a slope proof. And I'm reading this isn't this is an exact

quote. Prepared to lose your minds Okay, that building in particular as a slope proof at its highest point, and so you know there's a safety factor that would be considered, So you wouldn't want to put somebody up on a sloped roof, and so you know the decision was made to secure the building from inside. Does that make any sense? What do you mean secure the building from inside? That makes sense if they're going to rob the building. That's like, it's just so insane to me. It's like, oh,

no, my house is perfectly secure. We're all inside here. Well, what if somebody I don't know is up on top of your building of your house? Unfathomable. Have you seen the pitch on the roof? Everything's fine, but if a law enforcement officer. This is where these things come together. And by the way, you've seen the photo of all of the officers standing over the deceased body of him. They're standing on the sloped roof.

You can't tell they're standing on a sloped roof. Nobody's balancing themselves on anything. They're all standing there normal. It's the shot of the three dudes in excuse me, the two dudes in like military tactical and two local law enforcement, one crouching and the other one just standing there and they're just staring down at the body. The poor guy's trying to digest in twenty four hours what you and I have been chewing on for four days because he had some family

stuff. So and it all makes perfect sense to you, right, all the pieces logically fitting. You got no questions, I'm sure, so it's kind of kind of like the opposite. I'm feeling like if you go to your big your puzzles or your passion, you buy a puzzle and you put it down there. Oh yeah, I figure out that, you know, every single piece of the puzzle is actually a piece to a different puzzle, and none of them fit together. It's sort of like that makes perfect sense.

A lot of people like puzzle games, right, isn't that a whole section on like the Apple Store or whatever? Those Some people are into puzzles and it's a puzzle. It's a doozy man got we got secret service. Who doesn't want to put people on a roof that's a quote sloped roof, Except that's not true, as you'll come to find out. One of our callers wants to make a very valid point, you know, for safety. They secured the building and by putting people inside, I guess drinking coffee or

whatever. Meanwhile, some dude parks a mile away at a home depot and proceeds to haul a long gun and a ladder a mile going towards a rally. You ever send it on a busy, busy event, concert, political rally, whatever it is you're not alone. The closer you get, the less alone that you are just wild man. And whether it's dereliction of duty or some deeper conspiracy or whatever, Honestly, the vibe I'm getting is nobody

gave a crap. And when you have that attitude from leadership, right, we talk about how leadership can exude an attitude that then permeates the rest of the folks. If you had a no show, as Dan Bongino's reporting this morning, right, you just had somebody to say I can't make it. I gotta playing golf for whatever the reason, and a decision was made. It's okay, it's fine. Nothing ever happens anyway. That is that attitude of who gives a crap? That is how people who work for you are

going to operate. Not everybody, because some people's work ethic won't allow it. But if somebody's sitting there going, well, now I don't got to sit on a hot roof and Bob didn't show up, but it'll be fine. We're in the building. What's the worst that could happen? That is an absolute indictment there, man, And that's a person you have, as

they say, you have one job. Now technically with Secret Service, you have two jobs, but you basically have one job, right, because most people are not going to be parsing your efforts as prevention of counterfeit bills? Do you know what I'm saying? Like, I don't know that there's people are doing a real deep dive on it because there's not that big emotional connection. There's not the living, breathing humans that are on the other side of

this. So if you're the head of the Secret Service, you're you're big. How many people are under Secret Service protection? How many? How many people? Maybe fifty? And that's that's accounting for past presidents. You may not realize this, but from time to time cabinet officials, cabinet officials are under Secret Service protection. And I'm not sure what the what the number is. That's family members for the current president vice president. That's candidates, right.

RFK finally received Secret Service protection and he will be on the ballot in North Carolina, but not Cornell. We because we have a corrupt board of elections in my opinion, don't want people drawn votes from Biden at this point though, I don't even know if it matters, but you got, you got, like fifty people. And if I'm wrong and somebody has a firmer number, I'd love to hear what it is. But that sounds about right. And you have you are the most you are the best funded protection agency

in the world. And it's not close. Right, you look at all other agencies, all other organizations who are who are out there, who are protecting high profile individuals, politicians, the pope right, keep in mind that the you know, the Vatican, obviously they have their they have Swiss Guard. That's an agency in and of itself, and it's more than just the

dudes and the very loud clothing. They have a very high level of technology and that was ramped up quite a bit following the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul the second. That's how we got the popemobile. But it's it's just wild to me, and for you to sit there and go, I'm not resigning whatever. You either failed massively or something else is going on. Meanwhile,

the conspiracy is run in the other direction, arguably more so. I have to sit there and watch people who are convinced that there's nothing under that bandage. Well, simultaneously, there's reporting out from Axios this morning, saying that editors are very concerned about the quote over use of the now iconic photo. So there's two photos. There is the one where you can see the

bullet, which is wild man. Well, you see a blur because even with that frame rate, it's still going to be a blur, but it's very clear what it is. And then there's the one you saw everywhere where Donald Trump is flanked by Secret Service, blood spattered on his face, his ear is all messed up looking from a blood perspective, and what is he

doing. He's getting them to start chanting USA USA by putting his fist in the air, which, if you remember, some people had a problem with because how insensitive of him to give the IMO case signal when there's when others are not. Okay, listen, I haven't commented on this yet. That's the most badass inspirational thing I've ever seen from an American politician. I don't care what side of the aisle you're on. That is incredible, And I

go back to listen. One of the first things I remember about a political campaign is when I was little and Decoccus was sitting in that stupid tank and yeah, that was, and you're trying to portray like you have strength this was you can't. The dude is shot at he goes down, he shot right, he shot right, he shot he goes down. And you had people on the left for the longest time saying if this would ever happened,

because people were saying they wanted it to happen. On the left, right, you have what's her name, m Kathy Griffin holding the bloody trumpet. Right, it is somebody that they've wanted for a while, and they've said, when this happens, you're gonna see who he really is. He's gonna grovel and he's gonna he's gonna beg for his life. What does this dude do? This dude his first reaction is to get up and to let the

crowd know that he is okay. That is leadership, because what because if he panics, they panic and he understands he starts screaming right like a little girl or something. I mean, as course as that sounds, he if they they would have sunk their teeth into this. If he's if he's curled up in a ball and he wets himself, that photo is everywhere, But that's not the photo. You got unbelievable. The reaction that is leadership, and that is just the initial Did you see the initial way it was reported

that he quote fell down and had to be carried. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. I posted on ex a montage of various headlines where people were like, oh, Trump falls on stage, Trump rushed off stage after weird noises from the crowd, popping sounds, crackling sounds heard from the crowd. No, your headline is Trump survives assassination attempt. That's what the headline should have

been. It's not difficult. Well there's a problem with that photo, and you literally just prove their point that people may find that as it's his inspiring and yes, well now we have to now we have to now we have to question all iconic photos. Daniel, How do you think the Japanese military feels about that? Eugen is about to say that, I was about to say, that's on par with the Eugima photo. It is. Yeah, people don't want to hear that because of who he is, But you have

to look at it through the lens of that's a president. That's a president who just had his ear shot through. Did you see the the graphic I tweeted yesterday of where it's real time his head turning. Yeah, he was a second from getting shot in the brain, like a million You see this, you see this like model, it's like a computer modeling of his head. And you see that for in that like five second gap that it covers four point ninety five seconds, he's probably dead. And you say, you

see why he turned his head. I don't know if you talked about this while that's going, but yeah, he was pointing over at the h he decided the numbers. He decided to go off prompter. Mm hmm. He said, I'm going to go off prompter. I hope that's okay. This Then he doesn't like how the cant it sounds canned when he's on the prompter and you throw up the uh the immigration legal immigration graphic. Yeah, and he looks over at the and it's when he looked over he tilted his head

that the bullet whizz by his ear and then closed his ear. Yeah. Yeah, And people don't realize. We talked about this Monday that when you turn your head to address something, you also reposition your body a little. And so because people are going, well, just construct how to just turn in his head. If you again, I would encourage you to do this, not if you're driving, but stand up and attempt to address something like forty five degrees to your right, and you'll notice that it's not just your

head that turns you. Actually, you know, this is just this is just the human balancing right. You turn your body a little, just a slight bit, and Trump does that. He actually turns it quite a bit. But the net reaction to that is you actually back up a little. So if he'd had just turned his head and not reposition his body slightly, he still gets shot in the head. Right, his natural tendency to go off script, which people are always like, you know, that's gonna be

the end of them. You know, he's gonna go off script and say somebody's not supposed to say that literally saved his life, this wild man, just absolutely. And then you have these idiots right that are like, oh, well, you know, it wasn't a bullet, it was a shard of glass, which is not true at all, because the teleprompters were not destroyed, and they were worth two in front of him and at the angle

the shot was taken. I mean, this is even if that was the case, which it was not right if it was a shard of glass hitten by a bullet from an assassin. Do you understand how ridiculous you sound? No, no, they don't know. So now let me just finish this and letna get into the calls here. Now you have Silver Outlets reporting that is part of the Axios media trend assessment that multiple photographers and at least one

editor. They don't name who they are, but this is Axios. This is not a right leaning Siting reported that there was concern within newsrooms that the overuse of that photo would be nothing but quote free pr end quote photo ganda obviously a play on propaganda because the Trump campaign will use the photo to quote further their agenda, despite the intent to be simply capturing a news event. You all are lunatics, man, you all are absolutely backcrap, crazy lunatics.

So he's going to use a photo, but he's not using the phone. He's using the thing that happened. Okay, the photo is just a record of it. Yeah, they would prefer if you know, he just didn't mention the fact that he was almost assassinated by a crazy lunatic. Well, it's unfair. It's not fair. I know that he almost was killed by the stairs a few times, just said a compare comparing that side by side two weeks ago, or what it would know? No, two days

before it was two days two days before the assassination attempt on Trump. We were all glued to our TVs, wondering if Joe Biden could get through an hour, if he could put coherent sentences together for two hours, right, or an hour? Like can he do it? Oh my god? It Collectively we held our breath. And then two days later, Trump gets shot in the ear, goes down, pops up, power fists bloodied, and then he plays around a golf the next day and once his shoes. Did

you hear the audio? The actual super service audio? But I imagined it because I read about it. I just imagined him being like, they need my shoes, and they're like, yes, it's their president. They're just like, but have you seen the shoes? Have you seen the shoes. They're the greatest shoes. Go play the shoes. Have you seen the shoes?

It's funny. It's funny audio for a horrible situation. It was the first thing that made me laugh about this, right, because you have to find something within because if not, you're just like this is where we are, which is a stark realization. And then he's like, where's some shoes? Can we get my shoes? And it's like, I just feel like if I was shot, even if it's in the year, f the shoes, you know what I'm saying. But no, he's like, have you seen the shoes by the way, Yeah, I bet what do you think

those shoes would go for it auction? Right now? You can probably find this entire campaign with the selling the shoes. Now, Elon Musk is doing that forty five million a month cheese. Yeah, I was. They had asked me, and I'm like, I don't know that I can spare it this month, so I canna be able to all right, let me grab but we'll start some calls. Anthony, what's up? Thanks for hanging on?

Hey? Well, first, I was just want to say, before they built that monstras say, run of Ross's house on, I could take cooking him out of any given time. But I was just gonna say that the not that I would, but okay, the snipers, the snipers that were behind Trump were on a steeper pitch than what that guy was on. Yeah, for her to say she can't, they don't, they won't worry

about it. It's a little bit druth is ridiculous. Oh and I did you see the Secret Service grow to put him in the car and then shut the door and turn around, put her glasses on and like straighten her jacket. Uh. I saw some people, one smaller lady because she had trouble kind of shoot. Sure, her draw was like she kept getting her gun stuck in her jacket and she did duck. And I don't know. Here's

here's the thing. I don't know exactly what her what her reaction, her trained reaction was supposed to be. You don't like, I don't know what her job is because there's obviously the body people. And eventually when they did that whole turtle thing, she was in on it. But yeah, the one I was talking about, she came up, she's going to came up on the stage. And then when she got him in the cars, she she turned around, pulls her glasses out, puts them on like she's in

a movie or something. Well, one of the reasons that they wear glasses is so they can't you can't see where they're looking, which you know that actually I can see that from a tactic and thanks for the callers, or I can see that actually being like I understand that, but like the whole thing's wow. And here's the thing. Even if you're a member of the Secret Service, you train, you train, you train, You can train as hard as you want, but very few Secret Service agents are ever going

to be in a position where somebody's taking shots at the president. And most Secret Service agents probably go their whole career without having to experience that. So again, if I had to look for holes in this, I think we really need to start at the top and then work our way down. Just my two cents. All right, we got a bunch of folks want to weigh in on stuff, and uh, we're gonna we're gonna do that.

Coming up your calls right around the corner, plus news. And I even got a few stories that aren't necessarily related to this that we got to get in. So stick around, we'll be right back. Conversation continues on. And let's see here. Now we got we got Mark Robinson coming up right. My correct, it is a Mark Robinson day. I believe it is. It is, It is supposed to be, but he has not gone

back to me yet. Oh no, okay, I because I bet he has some thoughts on this, so I hopefully we hear from him today. Let's get some calls, folks been hanging on and Jake, you're up first or right ahead? Hey? Yeah, oh Jake, your phone is really let's try all right? Thank you? Hold on that, uh you sell like yeah, go ahead, sir, Okay. Yeah. I was gonna

say this is there's a tale of two Trumps and two secret services. Somebody's head on secret service needs a role because there's one dead, two shot or three shots totally yeah, and uh and uh this is a different Trump too, because remember when Trump was rested at the stage, how freaked out he looked? How did he look this time? He looked freaking awesome. Oh

you're talking about the Vegas thing. Yeah. I actually was comparing what happened in Vegas and that was a dude who That was a dude who jumped on stage. And I was doing it because people were claiming that, you know, this wasn't a thing. Uh. You know, Trump heard a noise and he was scared, and he said, I want you to watch everyone around Trump because when a bullet, bullets make a noise, not once just when they're being fired, but when they are literally moving. And anyone who's

been too close to a bullet it's moving. Whether somebody is served in a military or police capacity, or you just have idiot friends arrange your friends anymore, they know that it makes a noise. So uh, yeah, yeah, he was that that photo is iconic, sir, and I love the fact that they hate it. They hated so much, but we will see, all right, Yeah, but fortunately, uh the phone. Let me ask you a question, and I know that this is a dark question.

Do you think that the same attitude to be had if that photo showed an actual impact shot? You think that that wouldn't permeate the leak on the internet within minutes and be shared in some very dark circles. Honestly, they would be playing it on Loop like it was the modern days of Prouder film that's the next tept. Not on CNN because they couldn't get the host to stop

touching themselves. I think would be the problem there. But otherwise, yeah, it would be Zapruder film on steroids and we wouldn't be having this conversation. But because of what the iconic photo was that emerged. Now now they're like, wow, we can't show it too much. It might make people feel bad for him. And I had this thought, and I'm sure you had it too. I'm so thankful that Elon Musk bought Twitter because it would

not have been this way. And I was talking, you know, it was posting some stuff on social media while I was in Tennessee, and people were on Facebook posting the same stuff, and people were like, you know, it was like forty minutes to an hour before I saw anything on the internet even about the shooting. And I'm like, well, I was on X and I was seeing it, Oh, rather instantaneously. It was showing up, and people were saying on Facebook and on other forms of social media,

it was taken a long time for to show up. Not only that, but once you would post something, a lot of the times it was being taken down. They were censoring it on other platforms, But on X it was there right away. The video. Do you see the video of the people in the parking lots screaming, Hey, there's a guy on the roof. There's a guy on the roof. So a couple people reached out and said that they posted that on Facebook and and it got taken they were

taking them all down. Yep, yeah, yeah, no, absolutely, it would have been to the extent that I guess they could have managed it a bit of a media blackout, which is wild when you consider this is I want to this is this will be one of the biggest stories in the

lifetime of people listening. And that's not look, that's normally I would not say that until we've really had some time to chew on it, but it's it's you can't argue that most of us will never see or I shouldn't say that most of us, most of us probably will never see a completed assassination of a president. Would you agree with that? Yeah, I would hope so, And yes, I absolutely hope that's the case. So obviously there are people within, you know, listening within the sound of my voice,

who were alive during the JFK assassination. I understand that. But for the most part, this will be the this hopefully will be the closest that most people will witness. And so I think at that point it ends, you know, how you just know when some things are never nine to Eleven's one example, obviously within my lifetime, in this no, I could tell you. I could tell you just by the reaction of my phone. I can't remember another news story since I've been on this radio station where I said,

we checked into our airbnb. I looked at my phone. See I'm going to tell my mom that we got here safely, right. I looked at my phone literally over forty individual people texting me, and all the text said were, oh my god, did you did you see that? Dude? What just happened? Dude? What do you know? And I said, what happened? I thought a bomb dropped. I'm like, did a bomb explode somewhere? Because it reminded me to a bigger extent of when the Boston

bombing happened and they had us come in and cover it. Remember when that happened, it was a big deal. This obviously a lot bigger. But when it comes to stories that have happened in my lifetime, dude, the historic doesn't he it is I don't know what word you could use for it. And and the way, look, people are going to process this in a hundred different ways. I'll tell you the most disgusting thing that I saw on social media over the weekend was and I'm assuming that they were. They

were a leftist. They were they were almost upset that it wasn't Biden that it happened to not because they wanted Biden dead, but because they resented the fact that this would probably be helpful to Trump. How screwed up is your mind? No, Like I was saying, it's that side by side comparison. And they know that because two days before the assassination, we all held our breasts wondering and watching. Right, can Biden go an hour in a

press conference? Yes? Does he have the stamina to answer the questions from the press for at least an hour and not pre selected predetermined ones like on the fly right? That was the deal. And then next to them, you have this incident with Trump just like standing up power fist, yelling at the crowd to fight. You can't shake, you know, just shaking it off. But there's no comparison there. It's and and by the way, he did not at that moment he rallied the crowd to fight. So it's

clearly he is the danger. And his first instinct was to tell the crowd that he was Okay, yes, and you know what, yesterday we had a report that the FBI was readying for retaliatory riots. Really, where where where are they? Where are where are the mass riots after this? Because I don't know, I'm old enough to remember many incidents, and within hours

we had riots. Yeah, but look at what happened in France recently, the loss, and they burned cities down, and they started fires in their rioting, and then they won the election, and then what did they do? They started fires and they burned cities down. Well, there's still there were still cities to be burned. Russ. You don't you don't want a city. You don't want one city to think that you're playing favorites with another. Sitting point, I haven't got to burn yet, equity, dude.

I mean, we don't want to think it. Like we said, we don't want that to happen. But if if, if the shoe was on the other foot, right, Yeah, what do you think the reaction would have been? Yeah? Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't think the Trump riots of twenty four or something. So for the FBI to put that statement out is to not even remotely understand how people are reacting.

I'll tell you what though, and I'm not gonna lie if if if there is some nefarious thing where somebody is more than just incompetent, then I don't know, maybe maybe it's off, Maybe maybe somebody does something, and that terrifies me more right, because I don't want to see any of that. I don't want any of that. But I also don't want people who are in a position of power who are either willing to let something like this happen

or god forbid, it's even worse than that. And I'm not going to go there now, but I'm going to recognize that it's a possibility, and whether it's because they absolutely needed extra agents to go help with the Jill Biden Pittsburgh event, which you know that in and of itself, I don't want to be. I don't want to come across as a jerk here, but

Jill Biden's not president and is not going to be president. Yeah, Forard, initially like I didn't have a changed, but I also read when I was in Tennessee they were saying that a lot of those agents, the ones you see fumbling trying to get their guns back in their holsters in front of the motorcade. Yeah, some of these agents. The reason they were reacting that way is they were not Secret Service agents. They were Homeland security agents

that were transferred over because Jill was getting more Secret Service agent. That hurt, right, Yeah, it's still true. I don't know, but that is I'll tell you there's there's just little pieces floating out, but that is not that is not reporting that he is just conspiratorial. Right. The fact is is there was a call for more agents, but we don't know the conversation that happened. I'll tell you what's crazier a CNN's reporting. I talked

about him using a rangefinder. I want to be clear. He didn't just use a rangefinder when he was on that building. According to reports, he entered the secure area prior to the events, So you know, well before Trump was to speak, and he walked in and had he went through security with a rangefinder in his possession. And I don't know if he told him it was was the only thing he had that he could use, is to

zoom in or whatever. But that's that right, there is weird. And then in there he reportedly used it to range the building and range the other snipers and one of the other one of the snipers noticed this and radio that this. You keep an eye on this dude. He's he's literally using his rangefinder on us. And then when he left, I guess they're like, oh, he's not a threat anymore. Absolute lunacy. All right, Logan, thanks for hanging on. What's up, hey, Casey? Can you

hear me? Okay? You sure? Okay? So I just wanted to share a story regarding uh interaction I had with a friend of mine yesterday. And he and I don't see eye politically, so we try not to bring it up a whole lot. But while we were out there, I felt compelled to ask him, like, Wow, what did you think about, you know, over the weekend, how insane was not? And his first reaction, after having a few days to marinate on it, was how was that not a setup for Trump? Look at all of the great publicity that

he got? And I said, you know, well, first of all, you sound like Alex Jones now and then and he said, I don't know who Alex Jones is, so that tells you, you know, kind of how plugged in he is politically. But he h, I said, did you do you really think that the Trump team would allow for a five five six to come within an inch of his brain for a photo lot and where he's quiet, and where he's where he's moving, like I might you might be able to convince me of all of a sudden, he looked like

he was frozen and in plays or something. Yeah. Yeah, and I'm thinking like there's like a like a circus act with the knives and the rotating as you know, I wouldn't even have that my end laws take such a risk, you know, much less than one of the most influential and political figures of our time. Well at that point, sir, I just hope you you kicked the crap out of him on NASSA and made a few bucks. Okay, I didn't make a few, So yeah, thanks for taking

me. Call it Casey good because now he can't send it to politicians, all right, raced Agic Weather Channel, Sorry bro, and you a little late. This is what we do in the worst part. Ross, Oh yeah, everything's off track right, Ross is just trying to have it. He was just disconnected and then like his phone on Saturday, apparently you'd explode, so oh goodness, Yeah, I'm sure it did well. The news

really not different by too much. Today. Just got heat advisories now, mostly for the Triangle try it just about out of them now, but it's still gonna be hot, little mid nineties depending on where you are. Still feels about one hundred and one oh five cloud sun this morning. There might be some sprinkles of rain north but for the most part, I think we're dried till this afternoon. The storms will start firing into tonight and then Thursday

Friday, probably through the weekend scattered showers and thunderstorms. A lot of them will be during the afternoon hours, but some mornings, like we're seeing this morning in southwestern parts of the state and out across North Georgia, you may get it in the morning hours. There'll be hours to dry. Whether the bigger change will be temperatures coming down upper eighties to near ninety on Thursday for

Friday on the weekend maybe the middle eighties. So nice little cool downcoming when we do need the rainfall, so we'll have some on to get off again rain too. And by the way, this Philadelphia set the record for snowfall at their airport. Really yes, yeah, only hell counts or something. You guys just love it. It'll do that. Yeah, yeah, one of your headlines. Man, Ye, well that's just interesting our headline to

click then you got me to see that's what it does. Well even this, Uh well, we'll get into the tornado report in New York State. You know a lot of a lot of beat not so accurate information comes out sometimes. Okay, all right, we'll talking an hour and uh all right, we have more calls coming up. It is the case O Day Radio program. Jamal, what's going on? Hey, KC number one. I

just want to say I am scared for Mark Robberson. Like I said before, I am scared for k C. I have been watching for the last past three days. They never wanted unton I'm talking about as of last night, MSNBC need to be thrown out of the R and C. They they have press covered, so the freedom of the press does not necessarily mean this particular agency. I have watched them now say basically, President Trump is responsible.

Casey. If I was to call if something like this was to happen to Barack Obama and I was to call in the show now and I literally say, well, you know what he deserved, or something like that, you will throw me off the air and say, you know what, Jamal can't call back in. I don't care if people like him. He can't call back in no more for at least for a year or something like that.

That type of accountability be done for good. I just want to let everyone know that it's a very short list, but we have a list. So you know what on our list? Okay, and you know what, Casey, that type of accountability is on our side. I am watching MSNBC hosts sit here and say, oh, well, his rhetoric. Joe Biden was asked by Less to hold did his language cause it because they've kept and people need to remember this. Back in two thousand and six, Sarah Palin

did the show about rhinolds. They was talking about rhinos Sarah pay and she said cross heads. Do you know Joe Biden said, I said bulls, I not cross ass like there was a difference. He literally is trying to not say cross said because he remembers the law that they sat there and said about Sarah Pail, So now he wants to make a difference. I'm watching these people. I'm seeing these who they did this and I shared with Russell

I don't know if he's seen this. They walked around California and asking people about it. People saying they don't care, people saying that it's faith, it's not real. I'm sorry but them. I know people wanting to do the unity thing, but people are saying Democrats don't want unity. These people are not our fellow Americans. And until somebody showed me the yeah, Jamal, I got like forty five seconds and I agree with you hundred percent, and I think the and thank you for the call. Ah. There's so

much stuff floating around. We were hoping to chat with Mark Robinson, but when did he spoke Monday at the RNC. Monday, Yeah, Monday up there, So I don't know if he's still up there, what he's doing. Uh here, And by the way, he is just a little from that, and you know, if he calls in, obviously, well we'll do some chit chat. But here is Robinson speaking Monday at the RNs. The brave heart of our time. President Trump has had our economy. Roy

Das was a below two dollars. Unemployment was at a historic lob people could afford homes, and we had a president who protected manufacturing jaws under President Trump, the American dream was alive and will. Under President Trump, there was hope and we need that now more than ever. So this November less then the brave heart of our time, Donald J. Trump, to get our economy back on track, restoring the American dreams and make America great again.

God bless you all the God bless you nice types of America. Thank you. And it's been an interesting cast of characters up there speaking. You know that, Mark. I kind of expected the amber Rose thing. I gotta tell you, between amber Rose and the reaction to the har Meat Dylan, who during her time on stage did a unity prayer, it's a seek prayer, she seek, and the reaction from some on the right is baffling to me. I gotta tell you, I am done with Matt Walsh. I'm

just done. Man. He you know, do his thing whatever. He's entitled to his opinions. But like I understand, I understand the frustration one would share if you feel that Overall is an organization, it's not trending in the direction of where you'd like to see it go, and people are gonna be critical over that stuff. But I absolutely don't understand. Uh, some of these folks who who have an audience, and Walsh was more of the amber Rose thing. The harm Meat Dylan thing is some other pundits who were

like they were visibly upset that Dylan was up. Do you know who harmat Dylan is? Do you know what she does? Like if there's a lawsuit that needs done to battle back against the law fair and the suit, tell their blue mentality that's going on. Dylan's been the one who stepped up for this right there. So it is wild to me that people are so upset and and and are are you know saying that the RNC they've lost focus.

They don't understand it can only be a Christian and specifically a particularly type of Christian perspective that is that has spoke about on that stage. I don't have time for you, because all you're doing is setting yourself up to not win.

And it doesn't mean you have to expand your your ideals. I haven't seen har meet Dylan advocate for anything that doesn't really strike as kind of core conservative principles other than the fact that she's in fact of another religion, especially a religion like is there a lot of is there a lot of seek terrorist attacks going on. Now, don't get me wrong. When you get into

other parts of the world, that may be a different discussion. That may be a different discussion, but I would also point out that it is a different discussion for pick whatever heritage or background you want and in different places. Whether it is some of the violence that you saw in Basque Country between Spain and France, whether it is violence that permeated the streets of Northern Ireland. Right, this is it's not exclusively a brown person thing. So the fact

that people want to make it that is beyond me. Now, that doesn't mean that you shouldn't be a stute and watching what's going on in today's world. And yes, that might even involve questioning if somebody wants to be part of the quote unquote program, but take things in a decisively different direction, and that's where adults have conversations. But the whole thing was just baffling to

me. And you know, to the credit of people that I saw that I saw criticizing this, at the very least, they're at least sticking with their positions so that people can decide whether that's something they re or disagree with. But as for me, I got zero time for it, man, and I and I really tried to understand where these folks are coming from, and I'm unable to do it. So maybe I'm part of the problem too, and you can go ahead and cancel me. Let's see here, by

the way, we got other problems. A knife wielding homeless man who allegedly heard voices was shot dead outside the RNC yesterday, marking the second fatality to GOP event in days. I believe there was another. They even had another dude. They didn't shoot him, but who was like, I'm gonna go kill some people, so, you know, for for whatever, all the motivations were the fact that we're sitting here and watching grown adults have conversations about

how you know Donald Trump, Donald there's nothing under that bandage. Well, then what happened with the photo? Are you implying that he's carrying like vials of blood with him so he can slap him on to get the right photop? You all sound you sound insane. You sound as insane as like all the people all the QAnon stuff that you criticized. Right, that's you now, wild, I said weeks ago, I remember what was like two weeks

ago, I said it. I feel like a lot of things are switching sides where now that because you know, for the longest time, the crazy conspiracies were coming from the right, not the ones that came true, that were actually fact right, but the crazy ones. And now you're seeing more and more of this on the left, and it's nuts. I saw one where somebody was saying, well, you know what the blood came from? You were talking about like the bag of fake blood or whatever, being right,

it be it silly. But I saw somebody who was really serious about this saying, well, he has history in the WWE WWF, so he knows how to how to cut himself. So when he went down, he was a razor blade like they do in wrestling where you put it in your your spandex there and you take and he cut his he cut his eyebrow or whatever. So is heeling this? I'm trying to figure this out. I guess you would be the heel in this person's opinion, right, probably,

yeah, okay, but what is the twenty year old? He's the jobber here. It's looney tunes, is what it is. Yeah, I try to like make it all make sense, and that's the problem with this. You can't necessarily make it make sense, Like it doesn't make sense that Ross is wearing a neck brace. Now, I don't know, come back, I can barely move. I was attacked during the break by ninjas and I

came to this leg just get you. I run to the bathroom in Ninja's good Jerry Lawler came in and pal drove my head through the studio floor. Oh that's who's crown there, That's where I got the crown. Yeah, that was nice for him to leave you a little uh little something there. You probably should probably should take the rest of the week off now that they think about it, right, I mean, if you mentioned that I was gonna pull, I was gonna persevere, you know, like, hey,

I'm not going to move the convention. Yeah, Ross the show right now? Yeah, double fist. I can't see it. Yeah yeah, pretty uh pretty inspiring actually, so, but hey, you know, you gotta do what you gotta do. Man. All right, let's see here. I promise I was gonna I promise that we do other stuff not connected to this, but I just have so much to get to for so these morning.

Joe wasn't on the air Monday and you know, there was a lot of thoughts from well, they're just it's just continued coverage still from the weekend, or MSNBC is like, you guys need to not be on the air because of the crap you say, or it was just having to do with the fact that broadcasting from the RNC right and and really Monday morning is pretty slow in the grand scheme of things till till everything gets fired up. But apparently no, apparently there might be a little more going on. So we'll

get we'll get into that here in just a few minutes. We got audio for you because they're not happy. All right, let me grab a call here, Matt, Matt would okay, all right, I see you. I look at my call screener here, Matt. You are a you are a Democratic candidate for a North Carolina House seat. Is that correct? Yes? Yes, Good morning, guys. How are you doing. We're good, sir, We're just we're trying to drink from the fire hose that is this news cycle. So what do you what do you want to come?

Well, unfortunately, good brother, that's what happened. Look, here's what happened. If you want to know a little bit, you know, In about nineteen ninety two, Rush Limbaugh started teaching people how to argue in a disingenuous ad hominem type way. Right, and it is elevated to the point where and an unaverage person thinks that they're filling their mind up with something concrete. It gives them something to grab a hold up and guess what I'm talking

about? Democrats right now? Okay, So being am I would see what you have to know. Please do please no, no, I'm no. I didn't say I'm in a bad cell area. So just it just understands I'm a Democrat who has been shot by a criminal, a black man, and I don't want to confiscate. I'm a Democrat whose kid goes to a private school and I don't want them to close. So instead of this who is saying it, we need to spend a little bit more time about what

we're talking about. So in North Carolina, where between ten and fourteen, kids kill themselves more than anything else, and between fifteen and seventeen they shoot each other, and at eighteen, we want to give them a weapon of mass destruction. So instead of having that common sense conversation about that, or Duke regulating its pollution and all that other stuff. Instead of saying, hey, let's have a real reasonable conversation about something, It's almost like Casey,

we can't even freaking have it like that. I hate Yeah, Okay, I'm sorry. I was gonna say, what conversation do you think we should be having right now that we're not one that deflects any sort of hasty generalization about a policy. Okay, And I'll am example, I did an interview with the best of Johnson County, right, and the guy asked me a question to go down to zero. What do you think about that? And I said, well, if things are underfunded, any number other than zero

is a good answer. Right. So there's a substance conversation that we can have about something, and I'm not really hearing it filling people's minds. So I think we need to kind of up the production of what people kind of rally around and discuss. I mean, I'd love to come on there and trade jazz with you guys in a funny way, but I'm not so damn serious that I got to be right, and it frustrates everything. And I listened to the show yesterday and I felt that through you sir, you felt

what that I was just a frustration. You bet, I'm frustrated. I but you know, I also recognize that right now, the amount of emotion that's connected obviously to this story, it prohibits like there's a There are a hundred things I could be talking about. I got a bunch of stories that we're not going to get too mad because the reality is, and people can call it panderin in the audience, but people are very single minded on where

they're concern lies. Right now. The idea that in our lifetime, with we almost witness, for most people it would be the only one in their lifetime the assassination of a president, former president, potentially you know president again is is nobody planned for that to be their Saturday? And and so I understand. I don't know if I blame it on Limbaugh telling people to ask

questions and then, as you say, argue in a divisive manner. But you know, people people don't people don't feel that they're getting the truth are going to be naturally divisive. You would agree, right because they're saying I don't believe yes, of course, But I'll tell you what if you and I were sitting in any sort of reasonable long form conversation, then we could get into a cause and effect relationship between anything relative to the platform that this

two party system provides. I mean, there ain't but two stinking teams. It can't be that difficult to discuss stuff. And well, the only reason I brought up Limbaugh is because he made it like nouveau Reese to try to have public policy discussions and just be insulting as hell at the same time, And that carries a lot of card brunch. I'm gonna say this, Matt Walsh is an example of opportunism within a commercial endeavor, and that's him selling

his politics to somebody. And I just can't stand that, and I don't think our nation can stand it for too much longer. Right, But do you think Look, people are going, I'm not a registered Republican, but I recognize that a lot of what I think would definitely overlap. So is I'm being hostile? I'm being argumentative to Matt Walsh sitting there and criticizing the army, Dylan and Amber Rose for being there. Isn't that positive discussion amongst

two people who probably agree on a bunch of stuff. Yes, absolutely, But The unfortunate thing is is that what was his intent? It was to be salacious, to create some sort of spectacle, which which gives him a unique perspective. Well, guess what tax policy ain't sexy? You know, kids out in rural North Carolina, outside the seven zones of economic prosperity,

who have never had equal opportunity to get educational advances. That's a boring ass conversation, but it's one that needs to be had as opposed to this, what's what's preventing What's what's preventing them from accessing equal Uh see, I'm being argumentative now, you know, sometimes we are having a look. If I if my dream was to work, if my dream was to work at a downtown show up in Tabor City, North Carolina, that is an unreasonable dream.

I don't know. If you've driven through Tabor Cities downtown it is destitute. You bet you bet so. If that was my dream to work at a mom and pop shop on an idyllic Mayberry style main street, Tabor City is not where it's happening. And I don't mean to pick on them. They've got struggles and they're they're doing what they can. But Ultimately, you can't. We can't get everything. You know what, Man, I just

looked up at my clock. I'm gonna bug out forty five seconds. Look, you call any time, especially on any of these topics, and uh, we'll get you right on there and we'll have the discussions to the I'm a democrat. I'm not from a different planet. I don't believe you are, sir, unless you are, because that's what you tell me. Right to be fair, See I outed him is three heads. No, that's fine. Look call in man, you're not swearing. We don't have to

agree disagree any of that. I'm here for it. So we'll get some more calls and more stories and yes, maybe even some that are not connected to this phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Hang loose will be back in just a few minutes. See. Elon Musk even tweeted out the photo of the roof of the White House, which I know you'll be shocked to learn has a slope on it. And yet there's teams up there. Man. And if you don't believe me, you can go.

Well. Now I'm telling how people how to get in position across the street from the White House is the w Hotel, I think it is, And they have a really kick ass rooftop bar restaurant up there. In fact, every year when I go to DC to do the little radio road thing, and I always make a point to head over in that Direction's a couple of restaurants. II like over there, and then go up that rooftop bar and just kind of gaze out over the Washington, d C. Metropolis.

But yeah, you look right down on the Way House. This is obviously the biggest failure they've had in a long time. But they've had a weird track record lately anywhere. Remember when that dude just jumped the fan and ran into the White House and we were like, how could that have happened? Got into like the east room or something. Yeah, yeah, it's And then what was the And he wasn't the only one, because remember somebody else got over the fence and then they put the little spiky things on the top

of the fence and state they altered the fence of the White House. And when I was there last time I was there, you couldn't approach the one excuse men pop it on the mic. You couldn't approach the one side of the of the White House, because it was we were still on the cusp of mostly peaceful protests and so on the ellipse or whatever they call it. On that backside, you couldn't get right up on the fence line. So now you're right, there's been some craziness. Man. All right, let's

get some calls and let's start with Ryan, Ryan, what's up? Hey? The moone Casey, I've got an answer for the Democrat and they just call it in. And I'm not a rephilic kid, I'm a registered independent, but I mean the Democrats. We can't have a normal conversation because the Democrats inject venim into every conversation we have. If they can't win a debate, they go to the straight to the York racist. You're a terrorist.

If you fort Trump, you're a national and white nationalist, you're They inject gent them into every conversation. So we can't have a real conversation until we start getting real with each other. You know, if you support Trump, that doesn't make you a terrorist, that doesn't make you make you a white, white nationalist. If you believe the election was stolen, and there's some

shenanigans going on, You're not an election denial. They've been denying Republican elections since Bush Junior every election, and they call it doesn't mean you're right, but it also doesn't necessarily mean you're a psychopath. Right, Yeah, exactly. I still believe it was stolen, to be honestly, we did. There was too much shenanigans going on. And but but the fact that I mean, I'm not an election denier, that doesn't make need the enemy or

a terrorist. I'm just saying there was something up with it, you know what I mean? And they inject in every conversation that that's why we can't have a real conversation anymore, mister, getting real with each other, better about our conversations, so our presents that get shot at. Yeah, I I you know I have. There are some Democrat folks that I know. One is a very good friend of mine, and it's frustrating to talk with

him, but he doesn't go ad hominem. And and so if if the criticism is just that you can't paint everybody with the same brush, I'm here

for it. I agree with that. However, However, I find myself more often than not presented with the situation that you're talking about, and I've talked on this show and thank you for the culture about I couldn't fathom deciding that somebody who had been a friend more than a friend for the majority of my life, somebody who I considered a like a second parent, I couldn't fathom one day telling them I can't ever talk to you again, not for

something I said, even, but because they saw on social media that I would post stuff and they felt that it didn't comport with their worldview, and so they just said, hey, this is it. I'm done. And that was my best friend, my best friend in high school's mom, who I considered another mom, who just pieced out. And so now that's one individual story. But I can't fathom doing that, and so yeah, and

we're colored by our experiences. What I would say, what I wanted to say to the caller and I was running tight on time, is I think there's a delicate balancing act to teaching somebody to argue disingenuously, which is kind of what the caller was just describing and recognizing that a eventually a group of people when when Cronkite said, and that's the way that it is, went is it is it the way that it is because I thought it was and then my own eyes are to tell I mean, that's not the way it

is. And you're seeing a lot of that right now. How about the amount of people. How about watching somebody who wakes up to the good people on both sides insanity, right, they finally see the whole video that has to be if if you're honest with yourself, that's got to be earth shattering,

man. And let me tell you there's things that I've believed and then I, for you know, something came along and it absolutely decimated my worldview on a particular issue or just you know what I thought of a particular story. And you're hit with a moment there, right. You can either be honest with yourself and go, woy, I had that all wrong? Whoops?

All right, and then you moving forward, you recognize that and man, maybe you do a better job of filtering information, or you can just double down and be like, Noah, yeah, I know it's on camera, but nah, I was so right. And I think that that is where you really get the divide. If you, regardless your political affiliation, if you refuse used to do you refuse to just accept, not accept, but consider evidence and allow the possibility that it could change your mind on something.

Then you're not doing You're not you're not doing analysis, you're not you're not trying to get to the bottom of it. You're just you're like a speak and say at that point, And I don't have use for speaking says not in not in discussions about policy or politics or any of the rest of it, because that's where the frustration lies. So if that's what the guy was, if that's what our coller was vocalizing, I don't necessarily disagree.

But I also don't think Limbaugh is single handedly responsible. If I keep telling Ross that the studio door is not purple, and he thinks it's purple and it's brown, right, and I keep telling him, I keep telling him that, you know, the the device of nature of me doing that isn't necessarily because I want to be argumentative with him. It's because I believe that I'm right, and I'm going to continue that and he can either accept it, or you can say, we're not having this discussion anymore. Oh you

shouldn't. He should look it because he can't turn his head. I can't right because of the neck brace because that was attacked by the ninjas and Jerry Lawler right right, right right, this close to lose in my life. It was all a hoax, So you should you should have went with the four lights reference. Oh it's oh okay, the Star Trek four lights reference. You should want that makes more sense to like five people, the nerdiest amongst us, but the best amongst us. I would say, yeah,

would you uh, what's on the here? I just put the answer on the TV screen? Would you look over there? Oh you can't. That's fright, Oh I can't. Oh man, this is my neck. Oh that's too bad. All right, Mark, real quick, what's up? He did more than the first thing. Before I get into my main point in last twenty minutes, these two previous callers you had better than most of the commentary I've heard since Saturday. And it's fantastic calls. And Matt out

there. If you're out there, you're a mutant in a good way, buddy. I appreciate hearing what you have to say. But my main point is here we are sixty years after the Kennedy assassination, and you know, people characterize that as an end of innocence. In this country, and we still have we still haven't gotten the story. And then you know, you tag that into the Las Vegas shooter. You know, you see the mysterious people are directed. In January sixth, we still don't have those answers.

Our government institutions really need to step up this time and come clean. I sincerely hope it was just a lot of incompetence that happened Saturday, I got, I hope. So you know Harkin's razor, I hope that's sir. But what's the razor? Don't never attribute to malice that which can be attributed by stapidity, a stipidity or something. I hope it was pure and competence. I mean, every we don't I don't need to get into all the

capabilities of shooting a rifle. It sounds like that that that one law enforcement officer that came up and surprising time and the rough tops spoiled the shots, thank god, right, But they the Secret Service, Homeland Security, they really need to come clean on this because we're a state in this country where

the disbelief of our government institutions is so over the top. You know what, and you know what, people can identify with incompetence as weird as that sounds, right, you mistakes or we know somebody we work with and they're they're just like, how does that lazy bastard still have a job? Right, Like, we can we can identify that is something that and thank you for the call. That's some people are willing to accept. Not everyone.

Some people will be like it was incompetence, born out of wanting to do this. But you can look at it and go, yeah, you know what, we just we dropped the ball in and you know we're not gonna give you. We're not going to tell you all the changes we're going to make for obvious reasons, but this is wrong. The inability of the response

team to access without ramming a car through a gate. The fact remains that the counter sniper when they were able to take the shot, and I'm curious what the process was for allowing that, Uh they brained him in the gourd. They one shot of that dude and there's photos if you want to see it. So where was that response Where was the twenty six minutes? Where was the dude haul in the ladder? Where was him bringing a range finder

inside the security ring? And ranging snipers who noticed everything's crazy. Uh not the weather though, It's just just here to scold you. So that's the one. That's the one sane point in your gentleman. Did he did he reference Okham's razor? Ross? Do you hear what's happened? Do you hear what's happening on the air right now? Are you talking about Akham's rasor Ramone? Right? Is that what? No? But did he reference that?

I thought that's what I heard him? He referenced Harkham's razor. Oh Harkham's razor. Okay? Is that different? Oh hark rasor Ramone? Got it? Okay? I didn't. I didn't know. I was like, well, that's good, so that's worked for me. But I was just curious because that comes back forget it. It comes from one of my favorite movies. I got that out of contact. Actually that's when Ockham's razor comes from the corn Ockham's razor. Where the most obvious solution is probably the right answer.

Don't get a lot of good answers in my business, but I can tell you this. The rain chances grow up, We're gonna lose this heat and humidity eventually. Still probably gonna push load mid nineties today. Triangle Heat advisory try it not so much, but still hot everywhere and humid, a few showers, thunderstorms. Rain chances go up as temperatures go down. For Thursday and especially Friday and into the weekend. Still may get some mid nineties

in some spots. Tomorrow and then Friday, Saturday, Sunday we may stay in the eighties and maybe even some low eighties in some spots the further west you go. So we're looking at rain chances going up. Drought monitor comes out tomorrow. You won't see any changes from last week, most likely,

but then next week we may. As a most of the state has been under some low levels of droughts, so the rain definitely needed and sows the break and the temperatures still probably going to be kind of humid, but it's better than ninety seven eighty seven. It'll be better than ninety seven. So that's what's coming later in the week. All right, leads you do in math, appreciate it. There we go on and we'll come back with Jeff

Bellinger. Hang on morning. Casey stocks rallied yesterday, but looks like that rally has no legs. Today there are worries over China trade and stock market futures are lower. Right across the board, S and P futures down fifty six, Nasdaq futures are down three hundred and six, and the Dow futures are down one hundred and thirty. There was a bigger than expected rebound and new home construction last month. The government says housing starts rose three percent in

June to an annual raid more than one point three million. Mortgage bankers reported today that home loan demand rose last week. The increase was driven entirely by refi requests, as the average interest rate on a thirty year fixed rate mortgage fell to six point eighty seven percent. Walt Disney is revamping at streaming services. The goal is not just to attract more subscribers for Disney Plus, Hulu and ESPN, but also to get customers to spend more time watching the services.

Some live channels will be introduced for people who just can't decide what to watch, and viewers who bail on a series before it's over, we'll get emails prodding them to finish. Elon Musk announced two more of its businesses. Well. His businesses will relocate their headquarters. X and SpaceX will move from California to Texas. Musk indicated he wants to distance himself from California and it's left leaning politics. And Casey, lest you think artificial intelligence won't one day

make your life better, here's something to consider. The Federal Communications Commission is calling for the development of AI intelligence tools to filter out robocalls. Casey, Now, well, it's a trade off because like, it does that, but then it also murders you. So it's like, I guess at least it won't murder you while your phone's ringing with spam. So all right, thanks for the thanks for making lemonade, Jeff appreciate it. Alright, that's a good There you go.
