There is something happening which is not getting a lot of pub and I feel like it needs to because I will I will admit I was probably wrong on this, and that is what is happening over in Europe, specifically the UK and now over in France. And it has to do with the moon bats who the soup moon bats and the moon bats who glue themselves to stuff right,

the stop oil idiots. There are some of their biggest hits of course include well, you know, some pretty significant works of art which haven't all been damaged, as their actions actually created a scenario where more and more galleries were essentially bulletproofing these things, but you know, had the potential for damage. There have been some that actually had to go through a restoration process.

Us early on you have the full scale, just just lunacy of when they went and they took over the Porsche factory, which is still one of my favorites if you remember in that they roll in to I don't know if it's the factory, but it's kind of like their main facility, their main office digs over there, but they also have a bunch of cars on display, so it's a bit of a tourist attraction, and they plopped themselves down, glued themselves to the floor right in the middle of it, and you know,

five o'clock rolls around or whenever, you know they're done, and Porsche just decided they're never going to go home, turn the lights out. They turned down the heating and air right as you do when everybody's out of the

building. And the video emerged of them glued there trying to figure it, very upset about it because nobody was paying attention to them, really, and they had to go to the bathroom and they wouldn't even give them a bucket, and so they started making social media posts about how the the the officials at Porsche wouldn't give them a bucket to even go to the bathroom in and that they were cold because they had turned their cold. I think they were

cold or hot. They were one of the two for whatever reason. They because they turned off the systems, you know, because it's nighttime and there's just like security guards there and that's it. And the security guards basically just watched them to make sure they weren't I guess, trying to burn the car for warmth that they were glued near and it was. It was rather amusing,

but it didn't really accomplish anything. And then there's the shutting down of transportation systems, and it appears that maybe where they messed up, because there is a judge over there who actually sentenced three of these idiots to some pretty significant jail time. And it's causing quite a buzz because now the soup idiots are getting ready to get sentenced. In fact, they may well be sentenced.

It's happening today and obviously they are ahead of us, and that very same judge is the judge who is doing the sentencing, and they're facing like up to ten years because of the value and the way that the laws are over there, right, And of course the pushback is, well, you know it was it was for a good cause. It was for a good

cause. But I actually read the documents on the sentencing of the transportation moon beats and prosecute make a pretty significant case over you know what the actual impact there is, And yes, some of it is people simply being late to work, but it has financial impacts that are documentable. Right, they did not get to work, and because of that, they did not this thing that was would have happened didn't happen, whether it was them getting paid for

that time at work, whether it was a deal going through. But then you get over to the medical side, and you know, this is what people have warned about, right you had you had women in labor who received substandard care because they were unable to make it to the destination. You had

cancer patients that were not able to get cancer treatments. You had you had a the actual injury of a special needs a student who went into anaphylectic shock and for whatever reason they did, I guess they didn't have an EPI with him or something, and they got jammed up in the middle of it. And like you know, you had real damages that were put down on paper, and the Eco Moonbat leadership just can't deal. And oh, by the

way, and I know you're gonna be shocked to learn this. One of the two girls in the uh in the Vang souping, I guess it would be the term for it. Her mom is a big deal. Her mom's also a big piece of garbage when I started looking into her, right, but her mom is really really really successful, wealthy, but also simultaneously one of these self loathing you know, al gore types where the grift is in

and she is. So she's launched this full campaign about you know, posting pictures of her daughter when she was not purple haired and crazy but just you know, it looks like a little schoolgirl. And is it's going to impact her ability to study music at Cambridge? And and it's just not right and and it's clear one not only is his family a giant hypocrite, Mom's also

the one who was she hates she doesn't like the US very much. And it's it's evidence by there was there was a campaign over there, and like even though mom is a captain of industry, you know, they really they don't want people traveling they were they would get they would organize locals in a lot of popular European destinations like Barcelona and others to get squirt gun tourists to get him not to come there, which, by the way, how do

I put this and not get barred from traveling to the EU. That's what that's all you have, Okay, I underlook. I get that there are companies that are players, major players on you know, on the world stage, that emanate from many of these European countries, but basically, you are your EPCOT. I don't you don't want to hear this, and this is and by the way, this isn't me attacking you. This is about understanding

your role in the global economy. Right because the U asked I saw last week everyone was arguing because you know, they always post these snotty things where they're like, what was the tweet that everybody riled up? Some woman is like, you know, I I go to three countries every week most but only thirty percent of Americans have a passport. They don't understand culture, and

that's garbage. As somebody who has traveled extensively, both in the US and outside of the US, the US has the ability to be culturally distinct internally, more so than any European country. And it's not to say that different parts of different countries in Europe aren't culturally different. They are, but not

to the extent the US is not even remote. If somebody who has lived for lengths, you know, distinctive lengths of time in Wyoming, California, Minnesota, and North Carolina, as well as a little bit in Colorado, but I'll count that into Wyoming, even though it does have its differences they're remarkably different. This is like a topic I could talk about forever. Well, we're going too. I'm just so upset, so upset they don't understand

how big our country is. But there's also this impression over there when you read these posts and social media that like they believe that because we're one country, that it's like the that there's no distinct culture between regions, which is

complete garbage. Oh it's it's like like if I drive sixteen hours, right, I'll drive sixteen hours, yes, to get home to see my mother, Yes, sixteen Now you go from I don't know, London and you go sixteen hours in whatever direction, or you're in Germany and you go sixteen hours, You're going to pass through how many different countries? Right? So I can't believe in five hours to get to northern Italy from from the UK. Right. And we've got so many different climates, right, yes,

sort of areas the snowy mountains. Do you want, the tropics? Yes? Do you want? Do you want the beach? Do you want the mountains? What do you want? And it's not only that, but every area, Like I said, because I've lived in so many different time zones, as well. Yes, every area of this country is completely different, different and culture, different cuisine, and this is something that the European mind

cannot comprehend. Different laws like that. I was explaining to one of my good uh my buddy Andy there over in the UK and ment him off twitch and he was completely like he didn't understand the concept of the states. He assumed that every state would have the same laws. So when they see these laws pass by, like scotis right about like abortion or whatever, and they're like, oh my god, abortion is now illegal. No that now it is the state's right to decide. I'd explain to him why you know what

that means that there can be different laws and different and that's okay. Again, this is not me. I don't want a hack on Barcelona, which is where they were doing this work kun thing, because it's a it's an amazing city. You should go there. You should go. But you have to understand why people go and and and and and do this. They go because they want to see you acting like your grandfather, okay, or your

great grandfather. They want to go. There's a there's whole countries that we only travel to see stuff that's ruined right, it's not I want to see an old, broken down castle. Man, Yes, we go there. Oh, the the Acropolis, we go to see it because it's busted. It's in and and and and and historic in that manner. When we go to Barcelona, we want to go we want to go to the piazza.

We want to go see the fountain. You want to go see you want to go see all the stuff the current Europeans didn't build, right, O. Hey, I was seeing stuff like I don't remember where I read it. But they were talking about how when it comes to passports, the United States has the lowest percentage population, has one right sort to explain this because the average American will never go to all fifty states. There the size of

this country is hard for them to understand. And they make these same arguments where they're like, O, well, why don't you have high speed rail. We have high speed rail over here? Well have you been over here? Because what you see in common you want you go down these rabbit holes of uh. People from Europe that visit the United States or even from Asia that visit the United States for the first time, and they make these videos and they all have something in common. All of the people that tend to

visit here, this tends to be the number one thing. They are all completely shocked and overwhelmed at just how big our country is. They have yes, and it's stuff like you talked to what blew me away is the most common thing that I when I was when I first visited Ireland. It was one of the first European countries I ever visited and was talking with people there had been to the US. They wouldn't shut up about the roads, right, like, and you realize they are remarkably they're just bigger. Yeah.

Yeah. The other thing too, is I was reading I was seeing a post about this a social media where they were talking about our differences when it comes to the European and the like the American mind where what we considered to be a long journey like a long car ride. Yes, because post you and I must have seen the same post, because it was part of the rabbit hole that literally was stirred by this woman running out and trying to protect

her daughter from being horrible. Because and I once to get my friend over in the UK Andy he was like I told him. I was like, I drive forty to fifteen minutes to work one way every day and you don't live in an unreasonable suburb. I Wake Forest is common. It's like if people live in like southern Holly Springs. I'm like, that's a a long way thirty four, but I also take the long er. I don't like go down Capitol and I don't like, yeah, five for it. I

hate all that. So but to him, he was like, that's insane. And I'm like, dude, that is a short car ride. That's nothing. But even my family when they do come to visit from New York. I remember when my parents came down to visit, like what long time ago, like twenty ten or whatever it was before my father passed away, And I'm so now acclimated to how it is in the South that to me, driving from wake Forest to say, the Fairgrounds in Rally isn't a long

car ride for me. That's just I'm just getting in my car and I'm going somewhere, right. It's the difference if you live out in the country as opposed to the city, and they live in the city. So when we were doing that, they were like, this is a long car ride. We're driving. I'm like, this is normal now, But it's the same thing over the UK. They're like a forty minute ride is like I'm

like, I don't even where I live anymore? Where am I? And and and again that's fine where I would say, like a long car ride where I'm like, man, this is starting to get long. I would say it's probably over over five hours. After five hours, I'm like, now I'm kind of in the car for a while. But like a car or ride to the beach, if I'm going to like topsail or whatever, Yeah, not an issue, not a lot an issue. Yeah, probably

not even stopping at a gas station. No, I'm not might might might you know, to just get stuff while we're down there, But there's no there's no need to. And and so like I saw somebody made a video of this, and they're right. They just play like Europe's living off fumes. They're living off everything that was. And when people come to the US, I'm going to throw out, you know, let's talk about who made what? All right, so stuff we'll go with stuff that God made right,

natural scenery, things like that. Countries most most countries have some of that or even a lot of it. Look, the Alps are wild, and I grew up in the mountains. They're wild. And what Italy has, what France has in Switzerland and everything, it's amazing. But that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the stuff that you built. And the difference is people want to go see what your grandfather built, right. They want that. They want that little slice of culture, They want that

little Parisian cafe. They want all of that. They want to go see all that Rome has when you're not getting pickpocketed, and you know what the Vatican is. If they go visit, that's what they want to see. When they come to the US, where do they go. They want to go see the new stuff we built. They want to go see the innovative stuff, which is why they go to Times Square and they go to La

and they do the Hollywood thing. Because whether they like us or don't like us, or purport that every country that I've ever visited, every single damn one can't get enough of American Culturemerican products, American entertainment, you name it, it's there. And it's weird that in many countries your train you watch

war movies with subtitles. Yeah, because we invented the modern world. Every everything with few exceptions, or we improved it all right, And I'll have this argument all day, but right now I got to take a break. We'll be back. Hang on. My people look to other countries and the

expectations they have, you know, for for all of the crap. I gotta sit there about with the US, you know, with the US, and oh they're just so horrible and they go over and they do stuff and they destabilize countries and all of that will one yes, yeah, yeah, that is the thing that we do. We don't do it, probably to the extent that we used to, or at least as openly. But also when you need something destabilized, who do you come? Ask us? You

come ask us? You have an expectation that the US handle it. The US will foot the bill for the NATO stuff, the US will do this, the US will do that. But also you fail to recognize that you're not on the cutting edge of innovation and almost ninety percent of the stuff that you use every day and you love. Let's talk about it. Can we talk about trains? Ross brought up trains. I always have to hear about trains. The state of California. You can see what happens when you're looking

at long distance light rail or high speed rail. Excuse me, that is an absolute money pit of doom and it's doing large. Part two one, it was a lot easier to build out this infrastructure because you built it on existing platforms, because it makes a lot of sense when you have a collective of postage stamp companies to do trains like I get it. But you also can go pay eighty bucks you get on a Ryan Air and maybe get an infection theor gross if you've never been on one. And those are the low

cost airlines travel models. Something that the US pretty much put into play are the rage in Europe because it's easy to go if you're in London to go on holiday, to use the terminology in Abitha in very short order and for not a lot of money. And then when you get there to Abitha, not only going to see all of the yachts and all of that, but you're going to see, like many of the islands in the Mediterranean, you're

going to see an homage to the way that things were. When you travel through Greece, you're either going to see you're either you're going to see broken stuff or you're going to see portions of the Mediterranean that are captured in time. You're not going for the modern office buildings and what they innovate in Athens,

which exists a lot of times. You know, it's crazy as a lot of countries or a lot of cities that you've that you've never been to, that when you actually look at them, are surprisingly modern, but it's uninspiring. New York City is modern and inspiring, and that's why people go there, and they go there for the stuff that's created. Going back to the trains, the very first train is a Welsh I don't know if you

know this is Welsh, right because you actually go see this. But when you get into the modern locomotive, you know who did that Us US And what was accomplished with trains, not necessarily in the tourism way that Europe uses them. What was accomplished was the ability to settle this giant swath of land that we had. And is there a lot of horribleness that came with the abuse of the people who physically built the railroad. Absolutely, but that's not

any different than in Europe. I don't know if you know this. They use slaves to construct railways. Following the advent of of the locomotive in the early eighteen hundreds by the Welsh stud whose name I can't remember, we figured out how to use it to build a nation and then from there. Uh,

it's not just the US. The stuff that you want, the stuff that you you think you want, that you uh, that you you you put on your Christmas list, and the latest gadget or gizmo or things likely came from US, Korea, Japan, China to some extent, along with investment made in countries like Dubai and others which are themselves incredibly fake, but they have so much money that it aids in the development of these things.

And because that's our place, and it doesn't mean that we don't have history that people want to come see, uh, you know, but it's all a little different everywhere. You know. The the history of the wild West is a very popular tourism thing. It's just just one example. So you know, understandably, when people come out to Wyoming, do they want to go to the Wyoming Technological Park in Cheyenne just outside of Cheyenne. No, they don't visit that. They go to Yellowstone and run from Oh, my

gosh, you see one of the geysers exploded. Everyone's just losing their mind running on the boardwalk. But nobody got Gord and I guess nobody got Geysered either. It just literally biscuit basin is what it's called. It just it had enough. Just there's pretty oppressive video out there. So people go to see that, and then they want to go to Cody and they want to go see an old cowboy rodeo, which they do every week there for tourists.

And so between the visually stunning stuff and maybe checking out Hole in the Wall or the hanging Judge exhibit down by Laramie, you know, or any one of the other hundreds of things out there. And Wyoming understands that. But when you look at the where people go, where the most visited things are. Do you know what the most visited things are in America by foreign tourists. I think you probably can guess a couple of them. Orlando,

Florida. Right. Obviously, people come here because they want to go see this thing, this amazing thing that was built and is now run still by some of the people who built it. The majority of the buildout of Disney World is within my lifetime, even though did the part when did a Disney World open like what seventies early seventies. The majority of what you see as

Disney now was all built within my lifetime. But you know, Disney didn't even have hotel properties when they first opened, and it was like it was the big whoops when they opened Disneyland. They didn't have money to build hotels, and Disney couldn't get people to invest, and finally some oil dudes from Texas struck a deal with him, which he ultimately regretted and told screwed them over to build hotels because Anaheim was in the middle of nowhere and they needed

that infrastructure. And once Disney realized how valuable that was, Orlando and what they built over there was almost entirely predicated on their ability to control every aspect of everything, which is why if you go there, even if you think

you're not at Disney, you're still a Disney. Every dollar you spend, even if you think you're going to a grocery store you're like, we're gonna go save money where you get some food, You're probably shopping at a grocery store that's owned by Disney and all of that stuff was constructed and it's still run by people who are there, and that's what people come to see.

They want to see the amazingess of New York. And yeah, they want to go see some of the natural wonders absolutely Grand Canyon stuff like that, but they want the modern, which is why New York's up there and Los Angeles and of course Hollywood and everything that encompasses it, even with the you know, the sanity that ensues out there today. So I get really, I finally had enough of it yesterday and I'm like, you know what, I'm just gonna rant today and you all can listen to it. So it

was weird. And I also, I'm going to get to my epiphany and kind of tie this in when I was watching a Jean Claude van Dam movie, which even though Jean Claude van Dam is you know, not, it was not Americ. I think he is an American now, right, He is a citizen. The even the all those cheesy eighties action flair that was us. As much as that was us and the expansion of the entire film

industry was us. And everything that you see in the in the in the modern take, and it doesn't mean that there are not people all over the world that contributed, but it was us, and so it's fine to recognize that. And so you know, well, uh, we'll make sure to point it out on the show because for ninety percent of those countries, what is encapsulated in EPCOT, which are the you know, the most stereotypical representations of those are also what people to continue to this day to go see when

they go travel. They want to see that, but they want to see it for reels and in most cases the people that are there fire and squirt guns of tourists annoyed by it would be absolutely financially decimated if people didn't show up, And I understand it can get annoying. It's you know, I make fun of tourists goring season out in Wyoming, but I wouldn't have it

any other way. I think everyone should see Yellowstone before they die, because I can't describe to you how amazingly not in this world you feel when you're there. It's in cre whether you're running from a bis and you tried to pet or guysers trying to murder you, or everything's just going swimmingly. It's it's indescribable Bryce Canyon in Utah. Indescribable pictures do not do it any justice. And there have been a lot of places in this world that I have

been and stood there. And when I had no idea, even though I had seen photos of I'm telling you, and I moved to Utah, I felt that same way. It's I can't, I can't. I try to. I try to explain it to my friends, my family back in New York, and I'm like, this is like, They're like, what's it like. I'm like, well, I drive to where and this is when I lived in Salt Lake. I'm like, I drive to work, the

Mountain Range, the Other Front Range. I can't remember the names, but yeah, yeah, you're driving there, and like I feel like I'm looking at a painting. I feel like, yes, I'm driving to work. I'm looking at a pay it doesn't look real to me. Still one of the most beautiful places I've ever lived, and there and it's just there.

It is there every day and had I had the good fortune to grow up in that and even then, I still when I go home, and a lot of times I'll fly fly into Gillette rather than Sheridan because it's just easier, and so geelet's kind of flat out in the middle of nowhere. It's still amazing in the starkness of it. But there's a moment when you hit the Powder River driving back towards Buffalo, and if it's clear, you start seeing the tips of the peaks like Cloud Peak and Bomber Mountain and all of

it that make up that part of the Big Horn Mountains. And it just as you approach and it gets bigger and bigger, and eventually you hit the

base of it. And those those are not the big mountains. Big Horn Mountains are twelve about twelve four hundred I think is Cloud Peak, So like, we don't even have fourteen thousand foot peaks there, which they have in Colorado, numerous amount of them, right, And the biggest, the biggest mountains in America in the lower forty eight are in Washington, respectively, and then of course uh McKinley up in alaska's the biggest. And and you don't

when you see that Himalayas what it's. It's it's just wild. And the very same people who are who are sitting there and gluing themselves to stuff and ruining paintings and all this would have a society where you couldn't experience that they

could if they're in the upper echelon like this. This girl who's probably gonna get five years in prison and her mom, who's got all the money in the world and as you know, wants to control everything that you do and hates you, is now having to turn to social media to try to get a ground swell of support that doesn't look like it's going to do any good. A she is using now a thing that we built to try to save her daughter, and the irony just doesn't click with her. That's that That's

the real kicker here, right. She hates everything that we do and the smugness of Americans and all the rest, and she's going to use our technology because her her influence isn't enough and somebody should explain that to her and maybe maybe just maybe not fun to lifestyle for her kid to run around and ruin everybody else's and expect that there's not going to be any consequences. It is

six forty eight. Hang on, all right, that's just wonderful. That's what you get on Wednesday, though, Right, Everything's just everything's just got to be a problem, all right, phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. That will get you on the show. That's how we do that thing. If cocaine bear wasn't enough for you, Now we have cocaine sharks. Thankfully they're in Brazil. But you know, if they're in Brazil and they're all hopped up on the you know, the Bolivian

marching powder, I guess they could be here pretty quick. Scientists say that thirteen Brazilians sharp nosed sharks which live off the they live off the coast of Rio Desionaro, which that's got to be good eating. You ever seen beaches in Rio shock full of stuff, you know, to snack on, mostly Brazilians. But and they found that in the muscle tissue of all thirteen specimens were pretty significant amounts of cocaine. The particular sharks were chosen for their proximity

to shallow coastal waters. There's a whole lot of them, and you know, one of the contaminants, or one of the things is they are they do ship swim show shallow that they tend to spend a large part of their lifetime in discharge areas. So yeah, it ain't good. Let's see here, significant contaminate discharges. They spend most of their life cycles swimming in this and it causes a and then of course you know people, there's a lot

of people using the cocaine. They're in Rio because I don't know. I guess if you're running a miss Bumbump contest and it requires that level of torque and you got to keep your energy levels up. But yeah, let's see here. So do you think the cartels are using the sharks to smuggle the cocaine? I don't think they're using them to smuggle. It would be amazing. Yeah, I don't know where you'd put it either. How do you get a shark to swallow you know, condoms full of cocaine? But nobody's

messing with that shark? Well they are, you ever see the videos? Or they'll just pull sharks out of the water and throw them onto the busy beaches in Rio. That's a good point, and they're just like, look what I found and everyone starts freaking out. The in fact, that happens often enough, they're like, can you not do that? Please? So

yeah, but you know they got all the teeth. So when you're trying to get them to swallow the the cocaine inside the prophylactics, right, that you run the risk of their sharp teeth cutting them, and then the m odon and then before you know it, you have cocaine sharks coming to murder you. Yeah. Yeah, no, It actually does make it more horrifying that while they're, you know, on their way to the US to smuggle the drugs, that one of them could burst and they would receive a super

high dosage. Back underway here on your Wednesday morning, can we stop. I understand that there are people who's it is to go and sow excitement into Kamala Harris, right, because you have to. You have to convince people, especially like did you see Black Lives Matter came out and they're mad as

hell over this this anointed thing, right because they have to. They put a press release out and it's simultaneously like, you know, we'd love to see obviously a black president, a black women president, the historic nature of it, but also screw you to us. What happened to the people being able to actually choose and not just you know, nineteen hundred and whatever the number is delegates that you can literally call on the phone and promise stuff to

which apparently now she claims to have the numbers there. So there's still that ugliness. There's the part where five minutes ago even people within the party didn't like her, and you have to get people pumped. But it's just getting obnoxious and and cringe doesn't even begin to to I guess label what's going on? Like you have the I don't know if you saw Michael Steele with his Captain America imagery, Yeah, it made me vomit. I'm sorry, I'm

sorry to hear you. And I'm a big Captain American fan, big fan of Steve Rogers. She had two shields and there's another Captain America behind her with like a hand growing out of his head. Yeah. As you know, as the drugs hit people differently, man, so sometimes it takes you from a little skinny weekly in to literally Captain America and other times horrible,

horrible birth defects. I mean, it was an impressive picture, But there's this other one where Trump got shot, went down, bounced up with a power fist and said fight. That was pretty amazing. Yeah, remember when that happened? Like when was that at least like twenty years ago or someone was it. Yeah, I swear it was like, oh, that's two weeks ago, two weeks ago. Yeah, but that's what we're gonna get.

And it's it's impressive to watch people immediately fall into line. I was, I'm gonna make this analogy because after the after the show on Monday, right, I'm this is uh, you know, this is my Now, I'm into my little downtime in the middle of the day, I flip on

the TV and lo and behold what's on Kickboxers on right? Remember the classic Jean Claude Van Damn movie The The basically the story of the movie is his brother is like he's fighting Ty in Thailand and he's fighting the bad the bad dude, and the bad dude is a really bad dude, and he's willing to do stuff like Chung Lee was willing to do in uh in Blood Sport,

right, he doesn't. He doesn't, he doesn't fight clean and actually it's it's much more horrible than that because there's literally like weaponized rape in that movie. For a lighthearted movie, there's pretty deep stuff going on in there, and and his brother is almost killed. It's not a unique plot point and then Jean Claude van Dam you know to has to avenge this and it speaks to something that I think Hollywood has forgotten, and I know politicians have

forgotten. There are a lot of people that are willing to suspend believe or suspend disbelief, right, and they're willing to go along with sheer lunacy that doesn't make any sense. The whole movie is one of the laziest movies ever and there's so many reasons what won Much like with blood Sport, like The

Bad Guy, there's no character development, right. The bad guys are just the bad guys, and so you're expected to go along with the writers being so lazy that they barely came up with names for them, right, and they didn't. Let's not let's not do anything with more than one syllable, right, that could be confusing. Right. So Chong Lee or in this case, Tom is a tong tongue. Poe is the is the fighter,

but he's not even the bad guy. He's he's one of He's like number three in the bad guy hierarchy because above him is another dude whose name escapes me. But it's it's it's basically like three letters, and he's kind of he's the on site bad guy, but the bad bad guy who runs all of them, who stakes the million dollars because they were going to fix the

fight, the big final showdown fight. So Jean Claude van Dam's character, who is constantly immediately recognized as quote an American, even with that accent by everyone he encounters, is the dude who stakes the money, who loses his money. I lose the money. His name is and I'm not making this up, Master Warlord. That's an official rink. It's his name. His name is. It's a placeholder dame. It's like when they put the script together, they're just like, what master Warlords? Yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah, we'll come up. We'll come up with something. It's something that if you saw a five year old with action figures and then there's the good guy in the bad guy, the bad guy would be either who's that Master Warlord? Right? It's so lazy and and the whole all of the plot points, right, Jean Claude van Dam's never been a kickboxer. And then his brother almost gets killed, which is very predictable when you see really how everything's run there, and those dirty tricks and so and then after this

happens, he needs to avenge his brother. So he goes and he finds the old smart guy in the forest somewhere, uh the forest where there just

happens to if you walk down certain paths, be really modern stuff. Because as part of his training, which is the standard montage of him having his crotch, you know, pulled apart with vines and having a kick bamboo trees down, and and then he goes and then in the middle of it, he just walks through a jungle path into a bar that's really got a lot of people in it, and it just happens to have like a two thousand

pound Wurlitzer jukebox in it. That's where the meme of him dancing comes from here, yes, yes, Then he then proceeds to do the most awkward dance because somebody in the middle of a jungle hauled a one ton jukebox in there, which just happens to take us currency. And and then all the native all the all the village ladies want to dance with him, and which

makes the other guys mad, but he can fight them all. And in two months time, he goes from not knowing anything about fighting style to the best ever right, and and people will go every bit of this is stupid if you stop and think about it. And yet that is a that movie is a very popular movie, and it's because a deal was struck, and the deal was I'll go along with this as the consumer, just entertain me. It's a good piece of escapism. Yes, it just entertained me.

And what where Hollywood gets this wrong is they want that same thing, and but they also they break the deal because rather than just entertaining me, right, where I might go along with how Opede Captain Marvel is if in the throughout the entire movie, you weren't trying to lecture me, like you go

along with the stupidity, if you're just entertaining me. Guardians of the Alexy Ross tells the story of somebody who was he found it problematic that drats could hang out of a back of a spaceship making an entry onto a planet through its atmosphere and bounce off trees and be fine. It's fine if you don't think about it. And as a result, what do you get? You get an incredibly entertaining movie where you're not trying to lecture me. Why am

I throwing this all out there? Because this is this is what people are willing to do in politics. They're willing to go along if you know, even if they don't like Trump, They're willing to go along with it if they feel that they're going to get what they want it. But as soon as it looks like you're breaking the deal, people will revolt on that. And and my comparison continues because what happened with Kickboxer two. I don't even

remember Kickboxer two. Well, I'm a spoiler for you. So they want to go do Kickboxer two and Van Dam wouldn't do it, or he couldn't, or say there was something going on, but he's not in it kind of and apparently it got so nasty that this is what the producers of the film, who by the way, also ended up making like three total sequels, which I didn't even know that until I happened to look this morning.

There's Kickboxer three, and then there's a Kickboxer with not a numerical name, but it's like get box Er Infinity or something that came out like ten years ago, which I wasn't even aware of. And what happened in that is it? It's all the same cheesiness. It's really the same, all the same plot points. It's a revenge flick. But what did they decide to do? They decided to in one of the opening scenes, take a very poorly constructed Jean Claude Van Damn dummy and have Tongue Poe shoot him in the

head. Oh my god, so the Iron Eagle too? Did? They absolutely murder Van Dam's character and didn't put anything around it. We're supposed to believe the Tongue po was still so upset about losing that match that he but he went down a rabbit hole of depression, got himself a gun, tracked down Van Dam's character in La Somewhere, found him in a parking lot, was able to roll up on him and shoot him in the head. You know, you broke you broke the deal, you broke the promise. There

you go, there, you go there. You can't kill the main character like the hero from the first movie. It's it's Iron Eagle too. I remember being so distraught as a kid because they loved Iron Eagle. Yeah, Doug masters right, he's a big hero that he goes to Libya he lands the plane, he frees his war hero father, he shoots a missile from the runway, he takes off, he blows up the president of Libya and

the sky out and he lives happily. Ever after this second movie, I'm so super excited about this as a kid they killed Doug Masters in the first ten seconds, gets blown out of the sky. I think if by some random Russian MiG and you broke the deal, I'm out. I'm not watching the rest of the movie this. And then they decided that there's a third brother who now has to get revenge for the for the middle brother. And I think they did it again in Kickboxing three. I don't know I've seen

it, but yeah, you broke the deal. And so with what's going on with Harris right now is you broke the deal. Look at all of the stuff that people are willing to fall in line with politically that they may not agree with, but if it means that they don't have to think about politics for a few years, they're willing to go along with it. And that's that's who you're playing to with this stuff right now, where you've just decided you're going to create a narrative, and it's going to be an easy

narrative. And the easy narrative is she's just been weight. She's been lying in wait, probably writing down a bunch of fantastic ideas. They're all going to be fantastic and great. And the other guy he wasn't real great, and we understand why you're upset. But she's going to be great. Look here she is Captain America here, and she's she's so smart. Here's her list of accomplishments that are being floated around. Because you have to convince people

to go along with your stupid ass script. You have to you have to convince them that you know, our guess Tong Poe in this case is the the people who, according to the New York Times, may have threatened the president with the twenty fifth and it would be a legacy turnisher. So they're just like, look, you can do that, or you can or you can kill yourself. I mean those I mean, that's your those are your choices. And it'll be interesting to see if people will sign up for Kickboxer

two. I don't know that they will, but also maybe they will, because why would they then make subsequent kickboxers if they didn't make money on it, I could talk forever all of the other things that just don't make sense in the original movie. Yet people regard is a good movie, the original one, but they weren't. They weren't willing to put up with it until

after that. It's the same reason the media snapped the other day. For about a week, don't worry, they're they're fact fine, They're doing their thing. Man. I was thinking, you know, for a week there, two weeks there, we got a glimpse of what this country would be like if we had a fair and balanced press. And then once Biden is out, they've turned in a diamond that is over. But it just makes you think, like what if. Yeah, and the only reason that they

were willing to do that, and they're absolutely unaware of it. I saw media members pointing out that they were always tough, and it's really unfair to say that there's bias there, and and it's it's laughable. It just shows you what being in a bubble is. But the thing was, once they got a whiff of the part where they very clearly contributed to this cover up, and democrat, even Democrats, are willing to come out and say things that made people look over at the media and go, wait, a secon

did he just say this thing? Like the former Republican Speaker of the House Kevin McCarthy just randomly said in an interview that they show up to policy meetings and Jill's there, what are you screw you? First of all, and everybody else who also showed up and went why is she sitting in here? Wall Street Journal had an article the other day talking about how Biden had pretty

much just been a figurehead for the past two three years. Yes, and and once the media realized that they were going to take some of that flak, all of a sudden, they got to kick it into high gear. Man, they got to come out and be like God because they were the one. They realized that they were going to catch it on the chin. And then all of these people that they work with on the daily, who will feed them information, give them scoops, give them anonymous sources. They

were they were gonna make a deal. They were gonna make a deal with the Feds and testify against you, and you can't have that. And now that that that situation's over, it's an immediate snapback to no, she's always been smart, she's always she's always had good ideas. They're trying to go after her because they're racist by mispronouncing her name or saying sexistuff. It don't got be wrong. Some of you are posting really stupid stuff that is wildly

unnecessary. I saw what was it, lumur or whatever, and she's like, she doesn't have any babies. So what does Laura Lumer have a baby? I hope dot? And why do you have You don't have to go here. There's so much low hanging fruit. And this is how you this is how you snatch de feet from the jaws of victory people. She is tong po Let her be. We'll be back mayby. You know I opened the show telling you about the the activists and and you know that they're they're

giving out real jail sentences. And then this mom her by the way, the mom's name is Kathy Gethen, whose daughter is one of the moonbats. And there's the judge, this judge, and this most of the stems from the UH the attempted shutdown of like the British interstate, the m whatever it

is. And the same judge is going to be handing out sentences or I guess is now handing out sentences for going in and and going to the wherever the van go was in London, I'm not sure which gallery it was in and throwing soup all over it. And there's a whole bunch of these and they just can't deal. And this woman who if you read about her, is she it's it's the whole Uh. I learned it from watching you dad. Thing. Mom just can't deal with the decisions that her grown adult daughter

is making. And she just got four years four years. And remember, if you go through all the evidence of what has transpired with these shutdowns, there's real injury to people. Some of it's financial, and then people try to discount that, which is stupid. There is clear evidence that it actually

increased the release of greenhouse gases. That's indisputable. And then there's actual physical damage from people who a woman who had pregnancy complications and could have lost her child, to a child that did almost die because they had the inability to access medication that was necessary for part of a seizure condition that they have because they were just sitting there, jammed in traffic and moms on a microphone,

uh, talking about Well this my daughter is christ Gassin. At the age of twenty two, she was the youngest defendant, and she has just been sentenced today to four years in prison. This means she will not be present at her brother's wedding next summer. I you know, I didn't even think of that, ma'am. I am. I am so sorry that she won't be present at her brother's wedding. Okay, so here's what we do. We let her out for the wedding. Why what? No? Why? Why? Why? Why? Listen? Why why? We let her out

for the wedding. And then on the way to the wedding, we stage a protest in the middle of the road. Oh, for some stupid cause like free the Manatees or people for the Liberation of salons or whatever. They were up in like top they were up in like tops. One. Yeah, so that she's she's just in her car screaming at the protest about the wedding, and you keep her there, trapped in front of the protest or surrounded by maybe they can get a car, but for hours until the wedding

is complete. And then when the wedding is complete, you send her back to prison. Oh that is that is diabolical? Can we chant because what about thees man? Can we chant manatee slogans that don't make sense? So you tell her, and you tell her like the day before, so she's all, exct. Yeah, hey, we've decided, you know, we've got passionate release or whatever. We're gonna let you go the wedding. All right, here's your dress and oh your makeup and stuff and makeup. I

didn't trust me. I didn't look like you were making it. Okay, Well you're you're gonna you're gonna look and you're gonna smell great for the wedding. Yeah, yeah, that's gonna be nice. And he can't. You gotta let her get most of the way there. Oh but not a walkable distance, right not. You can't run the risk of her getting out of the car and hoofing it. I'd volunteer there to save the sloughs or the manateese. I thought it was just say I thought it was managed whatever.

The manites sloth, that doesn't matter, the world's slowest creature would have to be a manitee sloth. I don't know if you're aware of this. Just lumber. Lumber isn't even a word for that. You just think it's dead all the time, like, oh no, it blinked, all right, So Ross has opted for torture. I got a question, how come how

come the brother can't move his wedding? How about that? How about how about the brother and fiance are like, hey, you know, uh, we'll have the wedding in four years in the day because people are sick of this man. Did you see and you might have talked about it when I was at Tennessee for the funeral, did you see the protest climate wackos that were protesting the Tesla plant in Germany where they were they're Naruto running at the thing. Yeah, they were like out a Tesla plant like an ev plant,

vandalizing, making noise, being stupid. Yeah, and you know why because they said they cut the forest down, And it turns out the plot that they build on was a tree farm, So the forest that they cut down was like three year old pines that were Christmas trees. Because wait till they hear where they get the car batteries from. Oh man, that's gonna be well, you know what, I'd love to see him trying to run one of those rare earth mineral mining operations in Western China. Like to see

how that goes. That's probably gonna go real well for you guys. Yeah, so uh yeah. And for all the power and sway and everything that this woman had, nobody cares. People who were like, I'm a I'm

an environmental activist. These people are awful, don't care and and and they're also the other thing is too they didn't sentence her necessarily for the shutdown, along with the founder of this organization, and they have a little cutesy nick name for him, like you know, the Central Park six or something like that. I don't remember what it is, but it's dumb. They sentenced actually they were actually sentenced for a plan another one that was to be upcoming

to disrupt it because they were able to get this the conspiracy. It's not quite rico stuff, but it allows you to get in. And then they used examples of the harm that was done with other protests to show that they knew full well that if they did this people literally could die of medical emergencies or suffer significant financial penalties. So it was it was an interesting way.

Now the soup stuff that's going to be that's for the physical act of doing it, because there is a hard dollar value there, and you know, people went, well, yes, but it's just a painting, right, and so the value is you know, is arbitrary, which is not true. People will there. You know, there's a reason that there's a definable

number for the insurance policies on this thing. And so when you go to destroy that, and if you you know, if you don't get your butt kicked by some irritated delivery dude in the truck, which those there's been some amazing videos, it becomes very quantifiable as to the damage that was there.

And so in the same way that a painting that's worth fifteen million dollars and a condo, like a high end condo that's worth fifteen million that you went and arsened, and it's it's like weird people wouldn't make that argument for the one, but not the other. So it's not an argument that holds any

water man. And you need the water for the sloth vanite to live in, which were very concerned about, all right, So eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four and oh and then also they're just like this judge is on a GHD. Maybe maybe maybe that's or maybe the judge is just like you know, everywhere else, and they had a little graph of

you know, this was wild to me. Mom had a little graph there and it had like the average amount of jail time that people get for crimes, and you know, it had like murder and it had rape, and it had robbery and all of that, and like higher up in the list is the average sentence for environmental protesters, which isn't by the way, it's

only the average sentence if you average the three that have received sentencing. The vast majority of those arrested for protesting didn't receive any jail time, let alone finds, and you didn't include those. And if your problem is that the average if you go and commit a rape in one of these your in countries and I don't know where they what all countries were included in this because there's

a few different ones they're doing prosecution. The bigger issue is not that your daughter got four years for doing this thing or plotting to do this thing based on other things she had done. It's that you all don't take rape seriously.

That's that's the bigger story there, So maybe work on that. But this is She's also the one who is not going to be able to study music at Cambridge for four years, and whose photo mom was holding up is clearly her when she's like thirteen and just a you know, innocent little schoolgirls. So to come out and give a press conference and throw this out,

my daughter is christ Gathin. At the age of twenty two, she was the youngest defendant and she has just been sentenced today to four years in prison. This means she will not be present at her brother's wedding next summer. Yeah, all right, we'll move the wedding or do Rosses thing. I'm down with Rosses thing. First I thought he was trying to be all big heart, but I nope, he just went He went for the evil, all right, seven forty five race stagic. He's gonna sound evil when he

gives his forecast, but he's not. Yeah, I'm not the job he's got to do. Man, we do, and you know, really delivering more of the same old, same old. The placement of where the rain's going to be difficult to forecast, but the next few days are in it. This morning a lot of clouds or some light rain showers, most of them lined up east now from Greenville down toward Jacksonville and out toward the outer

banks. And they're moving away, so you'll get some time. If you're heading toward the beach right now, passing through, there'll be some dry periods mixed in a lot of clouds and some sunshine today for everybody the beach. Yeah, no, no, no, no, they's found cocaine sharks. Due, Yes they did. I did see that. Okay, so don't tend people to the beach. Well, I don't know they found him on

that in Brazil. You don't You don't think. You don't think a shark hopped on hopped up on cocaine couldn't get to the outer Banks in record time. Well, I was wondering if that didn't explain a few things too. Maybe the more sightings are the more of recent of Maybe that's why they coked up and decided to they're all doing. They're all doing disco. Sharks do

sleep anyway, right, Yeah, that's true. They keep moving. Yeah, so then just imagine that and moving even more right Yeah, yeah, but anyway, Yeah, more wet weather scattered around right through tomorrow and Friday. There's some hope you know that we are going to see maybe some dryer weather in for the upcoming weekend. And hang on a second, Yeah, floodwatch just issued earlier this morning. The sharks, you're going to get further

inland. Yeah, so it adds up. There may be some flash flooding, but the rain we've seen so far this weekend excepts of runoff that kicks in eleven o'clock this morning through tomorrow evenings. So another one to maybe two inch to rain some make it more. So, well, we're in it. But I'm really gonna be curious to see the drought monitor tomorrow morning. Maybe not as much as you are, Casey, but we'll see if we've erased any of the levels of drought we had across the state in the last

week. And I've got to imagine we have with all the rain. Yeah. So one minute you're a new burn trying to see if you can find a Coca Cola anywhere in town because you know pepsi, And the next minute there's a shark that pops out of the river there and eats you. So thank you, thank you. Welcome with your rain forecast there, all right, appreciate it. Have a good one there. You go to race agent

from the Weather Channel. All right, so the Secret Service director is she's resigned and and and by the way, I did see a couple of things were like, you know, this is you know it was. They didn't quite call her brave, but they're like, gave her credit for it. You don't give her any credit for it. And I got some very interesting emails from folks where I was talking about the failure of you know, people that are in what we consider kind of the badass rolls when things go wrong,

and what real consequences actually look like. And I threw out there like, you know, if you had mission failure like this in a military setting, what that would mean? Or you just somebody who's in the army and you got guard duty, right, they don't screw around with this stuff. And I kind of had asked some of our military listeners, I'm like, what does that look like? And it looks I'll tell you what it looks like. What real actual consequences look like? Man? And we'll get into

that next here on the Cacoday radio program. I don't have the military experience, let alone serving in you know, a special forces capacity, but you have to look at Secret Service like that, or at least you used to

see. Record Service had a very significant, defined mission. They had an ass an a as assets, They had you know, equipment and funding to go out and do a job that is not an easy job, admittedly, and there was a certain amount of respect and esteem that existed there, right, and I know some of it was chipped away with the incident that happened when they remember when they went to Columbia and they found out that while they were off duty, I guess they were you know, bringing the whores,

right, and and that obviously is hugely problematic. I'm not disagreeing there because, like you know, pillow talk is a great way to get intel from people. Plus there's the part where if you're doing something you know you're not supposed to, there's the ability to compromise and maybe bribe people into giving you information. And so that was you know, that was kind of the black

guy. But what happened with Trump was insane. And so for this woman to sit there, the now resigned director and not even be able to commit that heads would roll for obvious deficiencies and acting like it's you know, it's an hr problem at Health and Human Services because you know some dudes are taken too many smoke breaks, is so injurious to the program. And I said that this just wouldn't fly in any other capacity. And a bunch I had

several emails and messages. I'm going to paraphrase here so I don't get somebody in trouble, but I think this, this one sums it up pretty well. And this is This is from somebody down in the Brag area who I chat with from time to time. He said, I'll tell you what would happen. On Monday morning. A mass relief and firing would occur. Many would be escorted out the front gate and back into Big Army, which is outside of the Special Forces unit. Now you're just you know, you're off

rake and dirt or whatever and would never return. Rank, position, time and unit and PAS accomplishments would carry little influence. The mission failure would initiate a massive review of unit culture selection process. A bunch of other stuff that's kind of specific I'll leave out. And yeah, that's that sounds about right.

Yeah. In this instance, two rules were violated, mission failure and unit embarrassment, and also exposure to the outside world absolutely one hundred percent and for her to be so callous and so you know, well, well you know, we'll look into it. We'll let you know, maybe maybe somebody no, all right, so we got into a little further discussion with now the now resigning Secret Service director. I don't want to hear how stunning and

brave it is. She might be one of the most incompetent government government officials.

And that's saying something of my lifetime. And it was rage inducing to watch the way that she would not tell members of Congress how many rounds were fired, you know, to still argue that the slope of the roof is problematic when sniper teams were positioned on much slopier roofs, but it also has created tons of great memes and the like the stunning moments within the hearing, whereas one member of Congress pointed out, the roof is so not sloped that

if you built a wheelchair ramp at the same grade, it would be in compliance with the ADA. And then you see the pictures by the way of also folks walking in, did you see the window? You know, they're talking about how hot it was and how they had to leave these positions because it was just too hot to be on the roof, and the irony is they didn't even have to be on the roof. There's four buildings there.

The building that the shooter was on is the one that is closest to the stage but is not the highest, and the building directly next to it actually has an interior space read that as climate controlled space, like a like a like an upper floor office that looks over the totality of the roof. So if they wanted to position themselves inside of that office, and it's got a window obviously, and you can you can gain access to the roof out of

the window. It actually sticks up above the other roof of the other building and it gives you a one site line on the top of the roof of that building. Because you had members of Congress that went down there and they did this thing where they literally walked around with a camera and just took photos of stuff, and at one point the FBI was telling them they couldn't do that, including Senator Hawley was asked by the FBI to leave and he's just

like, I'm not, Nope, that's not gonna happen. And we found out that she didn't. She didn't even make contact with the agents in charge for it could be as much as seventy two hours. How do you not how do you not have at the very least a conversation with the immediate protection detail as the director? How does that happen that you go the rest of the weekend and into the work week and you never pick up a phone and

talk to him and went, what the hell happened? But also it's the inability to you know, to hold people to account that she wouldn't commit to.

As I read there earlier, which was a description from a somebody with military experience talking about what would happen in a unit, especially an elite unit, if something if you had this this this mission failure like this, and it was it was significant, I mean you would you would potentially have an entire group of people who have literally millions of dollars in training in them sent back to push papers and and you know, to to run to the end

of their military career, which would be pretty quick. And and then you get into the bigger questions of how a unit goes in that direction, And that's real life. There's a new Russell Crowe movie I watched. I don't know if you guys have seen this called Land of Bad. It's on Netflix. They just literally just dropped like a week ago. By the way, is Russell Crowe becoming Steven Sagull? I like me, Don't get me wrong. I like Russell Crowe a lot more than I like Steven Sagall But like

Russell Crowe is, he's got a beer belly on him. It's pretty You're like, that dude was Gladiator and I can't. I can't complain. Obviously I'm not in the same shape that I was, but like to put him in his character is is a grizzled old pilot, right, and he's a drone operator and he operates out of Las Vegas, which is where we fly

drones, US military drones, which pretty wild all over the world. And the premise of the movie is this dude whose air force he is embedded with the some Tier one guys for whatever reason, and they're going into I think it's the Philippines where the bad dude, the bad guy's got a base,

a layer, whatever. Things go sideways. There's another bad guy and now most of the units killed, but the target, the acid that they were trying to recover, which was another Jaysak dude who was being held captive there, like he has to through his communication with Russell Crowe's character, and you know, all of the drone stuff. They it's all leaned very heavily on drones and the technology, and I'm sure there's a lot of inaccuracies there.

But it's cool, right, it's a cool movie. But he's so wildly overweight that like he can't button his uniform so he wears just like Hawaiian shirts and stuff. But whatever, and and the movie plays out. I was looking at the reviews. It's got, you know, in the six six out of ten star range six and a half, I think on IMDb and crow essentially along with the h the actor on the ground, Uh, they're able to. They're able to, you know, go in there and try

to complete the mission. But the portrayal of all of the other members of this unit, including the CEO, right, his boss, the the colonel giving him orders, they're played as absolute bumbling fools that know nothing, accomplished nothing, and in fact, through their actions get a bunch of real, you know, real bad bad ombres that that you know, a military guys

that we have get them killed just through their own ineptitude. And you know, I guess maybe that's the culture within the Secret Service there that she just believes happens. Just crazy to me, because even the military would would start purging all these dudes. All right, let me grab a call real quick. Yeah, what's up? Jeremy? Hello, Jeremy Dan you hear me? All right? We put him on hold because Ross, oh, turn back there. All right, let's check. I kind of want to take

that call. Russ has given me a little insight as to what they were talking about where they were screening the call. I don't know. It was weird, kind of sound like you went in a weird cell area. All right, Well, all right, is he good to go? All right, he's good to go. Rock on, let's do this. What hey, what's up? What's going on? You playing a zither? All right? Cheers up? Yeah, I've been listening to you for years. Okay, And I'm gonna tell you right now what she did was in the army.

There is an article fifteen. Okay, and you're going to get in trouble, like bad trouble, like you lost rank, possibly get kicked out. Yeah, yeah, but it's not gonna go well, it's not gonna go well, it's not it's not gonna go well. I mean there's gonna be some investigations. I mean, like ying Yang, what what can you what if a dude fell asleep on guard duty? How big of a deal with that? Oh? My god? For real? Yeah? No, people, you're good. Yeah, you've undated article Joe old number one,

right. I mean, dude, this is why, this is why this has to drive you nuts watching her sit there and act like somebody was taking too many smoke breaks or something. I went bunker when I sat in there and I watched it. I'm like, are you serious? I mean, I can turn around and tell you five different ways to protect this man. Yeah. I mean, I'm just a little level sergeant, but I'm like, I can tell you. So, do you let me ask you a

question. Do you think it was so inept that in your mind? Do you think that maybe there it was intentional because some people are saying that it might have been intentional, and I don't know, I don't know. No, no, sir, this is intentional because I mean, me and my brothers and a few of my sisters, we're sitting there, we're talking, We're like there's no way, there is no way you could have missed this

up. You had literally a dog on uh, mister Casey, you had a literally a water tower three sixty right right right, yeah, yeah, And that's a that's turning into its own conspiracy there. This is this is a little a little private on that one. Begomber pile on that thing. Man, they get it done. Yeah, no, it's it's it's so bad. And and not refusing to take it seriously when you're getting reprimanded.

It just made it so much worse, uh, for for everybody, because even if folks have no comprehension of how to set up a perimeter on something like they if they've seen one movie in their minds, they probably would have made better decisions than this and the high grounds number one man, absolutely no, guys, In ten minutes, I can turn around and get you a good three hundred and sixty degree permier. Right, yeah, this is uh, this is great. Well, Jeremy, I appreciate you listening out there.

Man, I'm sorry that it almost made your head explode to sod yeah my laughing all two doble moors. Yeah all right, cool, Thanks for thanks for calling in the car all right, but that he's like, hey, give me some dudes, we'll have this nailed down. I'm sitting there and I'm just like, give me the job, and this, you know, this garbage was like, Oh, we we don't want you out there doing doing rallies anymore. That's not gonna fly. That ship has sailed.

That's his thing, right, And and you know, I understand why the Secret Service doesn't want these things to happen, and I absolutely respect them and making those advisements. And we got a little of that. There were other there were former Secret Service guys, Dan Bongino being one of them, but others that were just saying, look, it is the job of the Secret Service to say, in a perfect world, this is how this thing would look. And then it's also the job of the Secret Service to then adapt

to the way in which the candidate wants to do things. And sometimes the candidate wants to on inauguration day, wants to walk down the middle of the damn street waving at people, and as as Barack Obama did and to some extent that Trump did, and then they have to go out and they have to figure out, how do you deal with this? What is a logistical nightmare, understandably, and and you don't have to be in the Secret Service for this, but it's just vastly more important than most of our jobs because

of the consequences of failure. I can't tell you the number of times where Ross and I inherently know how to do something and the company wants it done in a different way, and is my you know, and we can crack jokes and go this is dumb or or or whatever it is, but there's probably a reason for it. Sometimes it's a you know, it's not in my mind, it's not a great reason, but it's our job to sit

there and figure out how to do it. But the consequences are not as dire as having either the president, former president or another protectee murdered because of what it can mean. You saw a destabilizing on Wall Street. The incident was for a couple of days. Now Wall Street's going to Wall Street and and you know some of the speculation stuff that they do, it doesn't it's it's almost like you have to understand how bad the reaction is going to be

so you can profit on the forbidden. Then people do start short and stuff or whatever. It is, but you gotta go ahead. You gotta go ahead and get the job done, just like our former caller there. I'm sure that anyone who's been in the military at some point has received an order and well they may not verbalize it, they're just like, well, this is dumb. Well I got to do it this way. I gotta go

I gotta go storm that ridge. Well, you know, whatever it is, and then you go ahead and do it, because if you flaunt the rules sometimes you know, there's there's not much that happens except you know, they're going to smoke you or whatever is the term smoke you, but basically try to pet you to death. But but you do it. But because at your job, seeing the issue is Trump's fall, you know, you

can't have these big rallies anymore. You need a smaller rally. Can you do a rally in like a gym, high school Gymney's like a thousand people or something a thousand No, what you do is you paint circles on the ground that would be one person in there. Yeah, because then you could spot the potential shooters because they would be standing in the circles. Yeah. Yeah, you have explosives out there. I don't know, it's so do whatever, but you know to uh, well, you can't have you doing

large scale events. That's about that's that was, That's how people run for president. Man, it's not just Trump Trump. Just Trump embraces that as his as his go to and I'm sure, I'm sure he loves it.

From an ego standpoint, it looks there's something pretty exciting about staring off over into a crowd, and it's like, this is what rock stars feel, right, They go up on a stage and I'm sure they get jaded on it at some point, But you go up on a stage and you're playing a stadium and you look out at you know, forty thousand people that have stopped what they're doing, probably spent way more money than they should be spending,

and it showed up because they're so fascinated with what you're about to say to them or sing to them or whatever it is. And I can only it's radio. It's tougher to imagine because we don't see you all. But when I see the number, we sit down with ours program director and go over the numbers. That still hits, doesn't it? You know what I'm saying? Ross it still hits because you're like, no way that many people

or that, Yeah, but you don't want to think about it. No, no, it Especially people get nervous doing interviews, and it's because I try to tell them like you're just talking to me and then ross and like that's it, and you have to approach it like that. But when you start actually looking at the numbers and you I can't I can't even tell you

how crazy those conversations have been lately. It puts it in perspective. So the idea that somebody is wanting who's wanting the acceptance of millions, tens of millions, hundreds of millions of people would be wanting to do that understandable. We'll be back hang on, because there's there's newsletters or things like that that speak to it. For for us in the radio biz, there's a couple others inside radio and then all Access which are kind of like industry that you

would find it probably not that interesting, but I find it interesting. So I actually get like the emails from them and they send it, here's about one a day and it's news that's happening, and you know, I scan it see if it's anyone I know who's got a new gig or got fired or whatever. Then they have some rating stuff, but some of it's insulting. Ready for this ross, you're sitting down. You're sitting down. What you understand. This is a newsletter that goes out to people literally in talk

radio. July's red hot news cycle could spell big ratings boon for news talk stations. You think you think, you think it might be a good month. I'm not even to click on the article. Man, all right, we'll see. We'll see how your prediction, which, by the way, you're making on the twenty fourth day of July. We'll see if that comes to pass. Man, all sorts of craziness. And yes, this is a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. And I'm not an eight year old.

I don't care how adult you get. These are always good, so ros and I eat a lot during the show, So got to keep your energy up, man. Not everyone could be cocaine shark. So and it's just this morning, I'm like, hey, you know what, you know, it sounds good peanut butter and jelly sandwich, so boom, I made me one and eat it during the show. You know what, appreciate it. Probably is Bryce Young. I'm sure he had one in his Joe Namath lunchbox,

which I'm assuming was in that backpack. Do you see do you see the photo of him showing up to training camp and he looks like he looks like a seventh grader? Is the jokes people are making? So, I mean, he throws a football better than me, but so there's that. But yeah, he's got to baggy T shirt on shorts. It looks like your kid going to the first day of middle school. Man, But you know, some people are making jokes. Whatever. I don't think that he

cares. But is it worse than what Cam Newton used to show up in that that guy was I swear I was dressed as a ballerina one day. I can't remember the exact composition of the of the outfit, but he had a style all his own. So, and you know, frankly, if you're a Panthers fan, and and that's the that's the biggest defensive thing about Bryce Young this year, that'd be good, right. See, if he comes into it, you're two, it's all trial by fire for if you're

the Panthers quarterback. I get that, but arguably when you know he was in the Anthony Richardson and CJ. What's the Texans guy whatever? You know, those are the three, like, let's see how they are, and arguably he is lagging behind the other two, but he also has a lot less weapons. So yeah, I'm glad that. I'm glad we're getting some football discussion in. We're gonna have preseason here real quick, right, and

then boom, we're gonna be into this thing. It's kind of crazy, man, because it feels like just yesterday we were watching yet again the Super Bowl, but it's been months and months, so all right, so we got that around the corner. That will I'm sorry, I'm just looking at this picture again. He's straight. He's got to have a trapper keeper in that backpack, if I'm if I'm guessing, and I you know, that is basically what I'm doing, all right, So let me let me flip

back over to my stack. Here we get a few things we got to get in. I love watching Keith Oberman flipping out over the Trump fist gestures because he's so over the top. So if you remember I told you earlier this week because you saw it at the British Open Friday after the show. I saw it right after the show Friday, where you had a couple of golfers that were given like the Trump solidarity fist, which is a thing,

but Major League Baseball's taking it to a whole new level. And the Cardinals players were the ones that were all the photos were floating around, and now Keith Oberman wants to essentially nuke the city of Saint Louis. It's great attention, Major League Baseball. These players need to be banned for life from the game. And in fact, you should consider confiscating the Cardinals franchise and imploding the stadium. The Cardinals should change their name to the Trump Nazis, stick

to sports f the Cardinals. That's right. The amount of people making the shut up and dribble argument is amazing. The irony of that coming from Keith Olberman. Stick this sports Yes, the guy that used to be in Sports Center and was really good at it. Yes, and it was at a lunatic and it was like musty TV for kids before school in the nineties, and it's just when he just was it was sports Oberman, Yes, right, him and Dan Dan Patrick. And then he did not just stick to

sports. And now he looks like Rosie O'Donnell and and he can't get he can't get what that's now, come on, didn't have you seen fair? But when you see him side by side, you're like, they look very similar now. And Stephen King, how come they all look like that? Now? What it was? My favorite Stephen King meme is what was it when you're lesbian aunt owns a bookstore or whatever? Right that picture? Yeah, they all kind of like they all kind of morph into themselves. And

Garofolo went there too, like why how is it? How is it if it's like it's borgish at that point? Man? Well, yeah, I mean that's the whole thing, right, it's collective. It is a collective. I'll give you that government collective. Yeah, they all become very similar. The difference is when you want the manager of the Yankees fired into the sun. You don't want him actually physically fired into the sun. Oh r, No, I do. And Biden has a power now because of the

skotis to fire him into the sun. Yeah. If it's an official if it is an official business official thing, Biden can write send Aaron Boom into the sun. He can launch him into a spaceship and write in the sun. Well, Elon Musk probably could, Dude. That Elon Musk interview was pretty eye opening. Did you know about Elon Musk kid? I had no idea. I had no idea. If you guys didn't hear the Elon Musk I think there's a It provides a lot of context to what baby motivating.

Uh, some of the decisions to you know, decision to purchase Twitter and you know, this protector of free speech. Because there's a lot going on here. Let me let me, let me do this because we didn't get to these cuts yesterday. I just want to play a couple of these things. And one thing you got to know, Elon Musk has a bunch of kids. He likes making babies. But he's also one of these like we're depopularizing ourselves kind of dude. So it's not surprising. And I didn't realize

this about one of his oldest kids. But here we are come into one of my older boys. I was essentially tricked into signing documents, uh for one of my older boys. Zare Uh. This is before I had really understanding what was going on and that we had Coke COVID going on, and so there was a lot of confusion, and you know, I was told, oh, you know, say I might commit suicide. If that was that was a lie right from the outset. No, obviously that's Jordan Peterson's

voice. He's he's doing the interview, so just just a little context, you kind of hear it. So he's talking about how they came to him, and they I'm assuming is probably his ex is that one with the singer, that kid with the singer, I don't remember right, but they said, look, your son, if you don't sign these documents, we can't do the medical treatment necessary to keep your kid from killing themselves. Which you know, the emotion of that for a parent, that's that's that's wild.

And so he signed him. He signed him, and he says he's not there's not been a day that's gone by. He hasn't regretted it. Because here's here's what actually that was about. Reliable clinician ever believed that there was

never any evidence for that. And also, if if there's a higher suicide rate, the reason is is because of the underlying depression and anxiety and not because of the gender dysphoria, and every damn clinician knows that too, and they're too cowardly to come out and say it, right, and so that and then we end up in exactly when when I saw that lies start to propagate, it just made the hair on the back of my next stand up. It's like, I see, so you're you're telling parents that unless they

agree to this radical transformation that their children are going to die. And you think that's moral, and you think that's true. That is so pathological that it's almost incomprehensible. I can't imagine anything worse of I can't imagine the therapist doing anything worse than that, or sitting by idly and remaining silent. Well his colleagues are doing it. It's pathetic, it's it's uh incredibly evil. And I agree with you that people that have been promoting with us are go

to president all right, so obviously he wants harsh circumstances. Here's the really emotional part, though, and this is this is what this is why it's one thing to argue this from the outside and another thing entirely when you're approaching it internally with your own family members, because the thoughts that cross into your mind are thoughts that I would assume I'm not a parent, but I would assume you would never want to have this thought about your kid. It wasn't

explained to me that pubity blocks are actually just sterilization drugs. I lost my son essentially, so you know they they're quote dead naming for a reason. Yeah, all right, So the reason that's quote dead naming is because your son is dead. So my son is Avior is dead, killed by the woke mind virus. All right, so let's go about to destroy the woke mind virus after that. See that's the that's the flex part too. Even with all of his resources, all of his money, he's still he still

fell victim to it in his mind. And then he went, oh, yeah, that's right. I have all the money, and unlike a lot of parents where you see these very sad stories where it's just they they're never in contact with their with with their with their son or daughter or whatever, he decided that this was going to be his motivation. It's a crazy it's a long interview, but it's a crazy interview, man, all right, raced agic here. It won't be as long the weather forecast because we're running

round a little late, but I we'll still get it in. So what's happening. Yeah, well, we're staying in the same type of air mass, the showers thunderstorms mainly confined to the afternoon hours a though this morning some spotty light rain in the area, a lot of clouds in the next few days and maybe some heavier rain. Thus a flood watch has been issued for most of the area. So it heads up this afternoon and into the evening.

Same thing tomorrow, maybe even on Friday. May get into the little mid eighties today, maybe close to ninety in some spots, but now they added cloud covering the rain chances how to keep temperatures down anywhay him, he's still way up. There could be less rain around by the upcoming weekend. Chances at least percentage wise, look like they're going to go down. But

kind of in it here casey. For the next few days, a lot of the rain will be con fined to the afternoon and evening hours, but some of the mornings may see some light rain and showers too, So a little unsettled. We'll be continuing over the next few days. Okay, thank you sir, appreciate it, and we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger. Hang on well, good morning. Casey stocks pulled back just a little bit yesterday, but investors seem to be in a funk this morning. The earnings reporting

season is revving up. Results from Tesla, the luxury goods Company LVMH, and Deutsche Bank raising concerns about the health of global business. Alphabet's numbers failed to impress. Right now, the futures are lower across the board. S and P futures are down fifty four points, Nasdaq futures are down three hundred seven points, and the Now futures are down one hundred eighty five. We have unwelcome news for coffee hounds, hoping coffee prices would top out soon more

increases. You're likely the prices of high end Arabica beans and the more budget friendly Robusta variety both climbing. There have been serious supply disruptions from Vietnam to Brazil. Zill sellers have been raising prices and scrapping discounts. Delta Airlines slow recovery from last week's computer meltdown being investigated by the federal government, but Delta says this morning that delays will be at a minimum today it expects normal operations

to resume tomorrow, and Casey, it's called the mortgage lock. In effect, homeowners with three percent mortgages unwilling to take on new home loans with interest rates of around seven percent. It's keeping a lot of Americans in place, keeping a lot of existing homes off the market. Bankrate says things are not likely to change anytime soon. It did a poll. Nearly half of the homeowner's surveyed said they would not be comfortable buying a new home until mortgage rates

drop below five percent. Casey, Okay, yeah, yeah, that's that's the thing we talked about here recently. So thank you very much, Jeff, do appreciate it. Okay, have a good day. All right? Ross, Are you excited for Friday? You pumped? You ready to go? You have the peacock cap? What's Friday? The Olympics kick off? Oh? Does it? Yeah? Apparently apparently if you got the peacock cap, they're gonna go bonkers on there with all the different stuff you can watch.

There is some funny stuff happening and some also kind of crazy stuff. One I guess the teams are showing up and like the Olympic people are losing their minds because the first thing they're going in and doing is like redecorating the super green villages. Portugal literally had a crew come in remove all the stupid cardboard beds, which I've also seen some videos posted a social media where some of the athletes literally are posting that they did hook up on the beds.

You are able to do it. These are the beds they put in that they said were sex proof because they didn't want that happening in the Yeah village. Some of the skateboarders who are husband and wife were both competing for I think Portugal. Actually they post did some not so subtle posts of like one of the beds all messed up, like Nope, no you can't, it's so dumb. You've seen what the gymnasts can do, right, I mean, yes, yeah, absolutely right, you got you got a collective of

young, super fit people with time to kill. It's it's inevitable. But they also went in and they removed all the beds and I didn't realize this, So the beds were then they're they're literally made of cardboard, and then the pillows were going to be donated to schools, after which I don't know. It's just kind of weird. Do you want secondhand pillows? I don't

feel like I want secondhand pillows, but whatever. And more and more contingents are going in and just changing the village because they say that it's not this is not what the top tier athletes need to be living in, and so they're bringing in other mattresses, ac units, you name it. Uh. And they just arrested a chef for a plot to stabilized the Olympics. He's

Russian. The Russians are banned kind of as a team, they're banned, although individual athletes can participate, but not where Russian flag are I guess, And so they've just Russias apparently decided to strew with the Olympics. The man was using AI and social media. They believe it's at the behest of the

Kremlin, but I don't know that they can prove it. In one incident, he used AI to create a fake movie called The Olympics Has Fallen, which obviously is a play on that movie Olympus Has Fallen, the big action flick, and in the movie it stars Tom Cruise, except it's not real, so it's just wild what they're able to go ahead and do with this stuff. Man
