Episode Transcript

(00:00):
I you know, let me saythis before we started, you know,
getting into audio and reflection on thepresidential debate from last night. I think
we can all agree this is goingto come down to much like the Nixon
Kennedy debate right where you watched it, well, you know what I'm saying,

(00:24):
Ross, Do you remember the circumstancesof the Nixon Kennedy debate, right,
yeah, that was the first debateever in a TV and then Kennedy
looked amazing, right, had hismakeup and he let you went to Nixon
and he looked like a sweating right, a mess. Yeah. But if
you remember, they pulled people whowatched it on TV and it was like,
yeah, Kennedy won, He's sucha nice boy. But on the

(00:46):
radio it wasn't even close because youknow, there you're forced to listen to
policy stuff, and you know,at that point people are like, now
Nixon's obviously, Nixon's got his craptogether. That's the dude we're gonna go
with right there. And I feellike last night's debate was that sure if

(01:10):
you watched it on TV, orlisten to it on the radio, or
streamed it on the internet, orwatched it through clips posted on social media.
Yeah, you're gonna think Trump onthat debate as ross. That's probably
where you arrived at. I don'twant to put words in your mouth.
I think Biden had the worst performanceof any candidate of any debate ever.

(01:34):
Right, but where do you watchit street? You streamed it, right
because you stream clips. Well,see, I was about to go to
bed because I had to get here. I woke up at three thirty to
get here at four so I couldput audio in the button bar so we
could do a show, right,du which is your usual ANIMI. And
by the way, I'm sorry Itexted you last time. I was not
trying to text you. I wastrying to text Trevor, who was texting

(01:55):
me, and he's like, hey, you should do some social media all
this stuff. And he laned ourprocess where it's more of a morning thing
for you because you got to doubleall the audio in, and he seemed
like disappointed we weren't going full warroom, and I'm like, dude,
this is how this is the waythat it works best. So so I'm
sorry for texting you because I assumedyou were asleep. But now I don't

(02:15):
feel so well. Yeah, becauseso I we you know, we finished
watching our show and then I'm goingto bed, so I get up early
and do the show in the morning. Yeah, and I just checked Twitter
really fast. And remember yesterday wewere like, every time there's an event
like this, whether it's the Stateof the Union or other you know,
previous debates, we are always like, man, he's gonna glitch out,
he's gonna malfunction, but that neverhappens. It alway seems like they roll

(02:36):
him out, and it's like,who is this Biden? We never see
this Biden before, and he's likealways on top of it and he's answering,
he's like wide awake. But lastnight I checked my Twitter before going
to bed and a quick glance andI'm like, oh, it's finally happening.
It's fine. The glitches, thecomplete just breakdown of the clone or

(02:57):
the lizard person under the mask.It is happening, and it is a
train wreck. So I could notgo to bed. I would checking Twitter
the old time, watching videos andstuff and bookmarking like audio we could use
for the show. Now do youthink that that's fair? I do?
Do you think do you think I'mnot taking any questions, thank you.
Well you know what, now,I just how did you consume it?

(03:19):
You consumed it both live and obviouslythrough audio. And again this goes back
to my point. If you watchit on TV, listen to it on
the radio, streamed it on theinternet, or I guess we're one of
the ten people in the building,sure, you're probably gonna walk away from
that thinking Trump one. However,if you're in a different multiverse timeline,

(03:45):
hear me out where people speak atincredibly different speeds, words have different meanings.
Okay, it's a good point,Yes, cognitive expectations for people.
Or I didn't consider the multiverse.I mean, at this point, don't
you realize you got to bring themultiverse. I'm just trying to figure out

(04:05):
how they're gonna spin this. Soif you're in the multiverse of nonsense,
it could you could latest the homerun greatest debate performance ever. You know
when they're you know, when they'reblipping around the multiverse and they go into
that one world, it's like cartoonswith paint and stuff. Probably did well
there. It's like a Benjamin Buttonmultiverse. Sure, yeah, yeah,

(04:27):
yeah, yeah. Like this guy'sphenomenal. He's very young did did you
see the Like, this is whatI actually texted to I was trying to
text it to our boss. Itwas like the the opening moment of the
debate. He was like, itwas like he had just done a triple
giant size line of blow off ahooker's butt or something backstage and that faded

(04:53):
within like two minutes. Man.And you're right, they've been able.
He's been very balanced in stuff previousto that where you think that there's gonna
be problems. And I really feellike in this moment, we should be
talking about the strategy of the Trumpcampaign. For everyone who says that Trump

(05:16):
doesn't have self control, you sawit last night. I think that was
the best performance Trump has ever done. You saw self control last night,
because I promise you there was aconversation had about making the point at you
know, in you know lightly butuh, you know in a way that

(05:36):
everyone picks up on, like whatthe hell is this about, Joe?
But you can't beat on it rightbecause you don't want you don't want people
to start to feel bad for youropponent. And I think he took a
very measured response. I would arguethe kill shot is the medicare stuff.

(05:58):
Do you think that that's true.It's got to be, because what you
had is Trump bringing it in andBiden proving his point. And what was
crazy is I watched on the well, it didn't matter where you watched,
right, you were getting the CNNfeed. So I'm watching and they immediately

(06:25):
go to the CNN you know team, and the first thing that they launch
into is Trump's a big, fatliar man. He told whoppers the whole
time. And they were as youcan imagine that they were. They were

(06:46):
very upset, right, and itwas I thought it was going to go
very standard. That was literally thefirst thing out of the mouth of one
of the CNN analysts. But withinminutes it went in a wildly differ direction,
which we're going to get into thismorning. By the way, the
medicare thing. Let's just go aheadand start off with that bad boy,
okay, because I think that thisis this is the one that will end

(07:12):
up in ads. This is whereI think Trump's uh strategy, I you
know, he's got is independent asTrump is, he does have people around
him that I promise are going overstrategy with him. You know, for
all that he doesn't listen to anybody. I think he does when when he
agrees with it, and he obviouslyagreed with it, because it is this

(07:36):
measured approach to getting into that issueabout his opponent that I think that he
didn't overplay, but he also didn'tunderplay. If I'm just analyzing this purely
from a strategy standpoint, Okay,all right, so let's let's revisit this.

(07:57):
What's happening. They're in a situationwhere they in fact pay eight point
two percent taxes. If they justpaid twenty four twenty five percent either one
of those numbers, they'd raised fivehundred million dollars billion dollars. I should
say in a ten year period,we'd be able to write wipe out his
debt. We'd be able to helpmake sure that all those things we need
to do, childcare, elder care, making sure that we continue to suppend

(08:20):
strength in our healthcare system, makingsure that we're able to make every single
solitary person eligible for what I've beenable to do with the with the COVID,
I just could be with dealing witheverything we have to do with Look,
if we finally beat medicare, whatdoes that mean? So just to

(08:48):
be clear, and I'm sure hepicked up on it because I don't know
you have two brain cells drub together. That was the portion where they're talking
about, you know, raising taxeson the rich, and it then goes
into the COVID thing and he realizedthat wasn't right, and then he said,
well, we beat medicare in whata game of chess. I don't

(09:13):
even know what that means. Andit's Trump's response to that. I think
that back and forth is probably whatyou're going to see the most of it.
Definitely was permeating my Twitter timeline probablymore than anything else. So here's
Trump's response. And this is whatis important in the debate. You got
to have a strategy. You know, you get you hopefully you arm yourself

(09:37):
with, you know, the pointsthat you want to hit, whether it's
about your opponent or about an issue, but you still got to be able
to deliver on it. And Ithink Trump did a good job. Thank
you, President Biden. President Trump, who he's right. He did beat
medicare, beat it to death.And he's destroying Medicare because all of these
people are coming in, they're puttingthem on Medicare, They're putting them on

(10:00):
social Security. They're going to destroysocial security. This man is going to
single handedly destroy social security. Soyeah, yeah, I mean it was
an easy setup then, and atthat moment you realize he wants to get
into this, and you have thisexchange where it was kind of the first

(10:24):
volley into the cognitive stuff, andagain it's clear that they decided to take
a light approach to them. I'vechanging the way that. Now you're in
a situation where there are forty percentfuel people coming across the border, right,
So I did just be clear,this is on the border. We
transition to the border. Now,I've changing the way that. Now you're
in a situation where there are fortypercent fuel people coming across the border.

(10:46):
Legally, it's better than when heleft office. And I'm going to continue
to move until we get the totalband on, the total initiative relative to
what we're gonna do with more borderpatrol and more wasn't Trump. I really
don't know what he said at theend of this hands I don't think he
knows what he said either. Look, look, and I want to play

(11:09):
those two cuts because arguably going inon the medicare thing there, you'll notice
he didn't just turn it into acognitive attack, right. And that's the
thing that surprised me because I assumedhe every time, you know, the
chin got near on that trumpets,swing at it. And he clearly didn't.
But it was enough to cause panicbecause poor Ross has been in here

(11:33):
since four o'clock Bull and Audio,and he had lots to choose from.
I'm telling you, I've never seena debate where, even from the very
beginning, most of the time whenthere's a debate, you have the spin
people on both sides, and youknow, they could point out why their
candidate is doing great. I've neverseen the presidential debate from the very get

(11:54):
go where a huge The only personI saw on the left saying that Biden
was doing great was that twelve yearold what Harry Sisson Shild that works for
the d n C. That wasthe only person. Everybody else we're talking
about, uh, Crystal Joy readChrystalism, the Dale, the dude,
yeah sank from the young Turks allsaying this is a disaster. Well from

(12:20):
the very beginning. Now hold on, now, maybe you're spinning what they
said. That's probably not fair.Let's listen to what Joy reads, I
too was on the phone throughout muchof the debate with Obama. The world
people with Democrats, with people allright, hold on, what is Obama?
World people? That's Illuminati, rightone world government sorrows. I'm just

(12:43):
I inject a little conspiracy in here. I'm sorry, Balding, Joy read,
go ahead, I too was onthe phone throughout much of the debate
with Obama. The world, peoplewith Democrats, with people who are political
operatives, with campaign operative is Myphone really never stopped buzzing throughout, and

(13:03):
the universal reaction was somewhere approaching panic. The people who were texting with me
were very concerned about President Biden seemingextremely feeble, seeming extremely weak. If
there was somebody who was going tobe an apologist of the somebody's and try

(13:26):
to ignore it, Joy Reid wouldhave been one of them. That's what's
that's what's so crazy about that.Joy Reid would have been one of if
she you know, she would havebeen one of those people that would have
overlooked just about anything. Let meask you guys a question. We got
tons of audio we're going to getto. We've got a few other stories,
and of course Pete Callender will joinus at eight oh five. I

(13:48):
don't know. Maybe he's gotta maybehe thinks Biden one. I don't know.
We'll ask Kim. But let meask you a question. One of
the things that was unique about thedebate last night is it took place prior
to the nominating conventions. Do youthink that was a mistake on the part
of Republicans to agree or I guessin this case the Trump campaign to agree

(14:09):
to do it first because Democrats gotto test drive the car man and now
they may go with a different model. Whereas you wait for the nomination to
be in then you hold the debates, which is almost universally how that happens.
Actually at the presidential level, itis how it happens. And do

(14:31):
you think this hastens some sort ofsurprise up in Chicago here? Next?
Is it not? Next month?They're early August? Right? Do you
think that it now? They cango all right, well that didn't work
out. We got to do something, and all of a sudden, Joe
Biden wants to spend more time withfamily or something. I do know it.

(14:52):
I don't think that debate in Septemberis going to happen well, not
with Joe. You know, theyif they roll some somebody else in there,
maybe then you go ahead and doit. I mean, obviously they'd
have to renegotiate it's a different candidate, that's how these things work. But
Trump will do it. If it'sGavin Newsom, Trump will do it.

(15:13):
So that that's the only thing,right, I feel like there's this window.
I don't know how the public couldreact. I would assume a lot
would reject it among the moderates,but you know, they haven't nominated.
They haven't officially nominated their candidate yet, so you know, I don't know
what sort of coordinated, behind thescenes thing they're working on. You remember

(15:39):
that, you remember Hillary's guy whenshe wouldn't come down to you know,
give her Hey, I lost speech. They were on the floor while everyone's
crying around them, figuring out whatthey were going to do to get Trump.
There's video of him being interviewed.So anyway, eight eight eight nine

(16:00):
three four seven eight seven fourth.So much to get into coming up on
the CaCO Day Radio program, Welcomeback. It is the CaCO Day Radio
pro Okay, good, one ofour callers wants to get into this as
well. So the thing that baffledme, and there was a lot to
choose from, really from a bowside standpoint, is the dead soldier discussion,

(16:25):
which inevitably, of course, wegot a we got to mention of
the president's to see son. That'snot unexpected. And he didn't say he
was in Iraq this time. So, and honestly, that's one of the
things I don't necessarily criticize the presidentfor all the time unless he is not

(16:48):
telling the story correctly. But didn'the He did say it though, No,
no, he did say it.Okay, yeah, yeah, I'm
saying he did say it. ButI give him more leeway on it because
it is his son who died rightin the same way that when I see
Mom out in the streets screaming mybaby did nothing wrong when he's on video
pulling a gun on a cop Iusually will cut a wide berth on Mom.

(17:10):
It's a little different because he isthe president, he is a politician.
But what was so weird about thewhole thing was I think Trump missed
an opportunity initially because Biden said thatno soldier, no soldiers died. Now
he kind of qualified it like ina war, and I guess technically,

(17:32):
when you're evacuating from Afghanistan, whereyou've said the operations over a politician like
yeah, see, no it's over, it didn't count. And Trump didn't
mention it. But I really thoughthe should have leaned in at that moment.
And I was actively like, whatdude, come on, and so

(17:55):
yeah, I mean that was thatwas That was just one of the instances.
In fact, let me let mehit some audio. All right,
here we go, Oh, that'sin the purple over it. We got
so much audio that Ross had tolike create a whole separate button bar.
So you'll have to bear with me. Thank you for not putting stuff straight
in black this time, because whenhe puts it in black, I can't

(18:17):
see what it's labeled. And hethinks that's very amusing. All right,
here we go. All right,let's uh, let's play the soldier audio
for you. I had a notionthat we were this safe country. The
truth is, I'm the only presidentthis century that doesn't have any this this
decade, any troops guying anywhere inthe world like he did. I don't

(18:41):
know how you don't go all inon that immediately talk about what transpired they're
in Afghanistan. And by the way, that's not the only soldier killed,
right, didn't we have didn't wehave a we had two? Was it
two soldiers or three soldiers who werejust killed in Africa? Right? That

(19:06):
whole that whole thing didn't get anycoverage. What's what's going on there where?
We basically just you know, putour hands what we're out. So
yeah, I was I really wishTrump would have leaned into that a little
more. And uh, I willsay this, I did see that that
was among the Daniel Dale soon infact check. So what was so weird

(19:29):
is that dude hasn't do it beenaround like he just disappeared off the face
of the earth. In fact,he ended up where is this? Yeah,
he ended up literally tweeting, Hey, I'm alive after many months of
not tweeting, you read this,Hello, old pals. It's been a
delightful many months of not tweeting.Really couldn't couldn't recommend it more highly.

(19:53):
But I'll be doing fact checks duringthe debate. Why would you put that
on the record and and not hopepeople just didn't notice that CNN's fact checker
just went away for the last fewmonths. I mean, this is the
dude, this is the you rememberwhen Trump they're like everyone, they like
created whole departments and lists to everythingthat he said, adding it to the

(20:18):
list and fact checking it. Wehad local media here w R A L.
I remember they put in their theirfact checker thing, and then that
went by the wayside. That wasthey put it in under McCrory and and
then it disappeared under Cooper. Totheir credit, at least they did for
a little while. But yeah,Daniel, like he just disappeared. The

(20:42):
whole thing was weird. I don'tknow. Maybe there's something, there's some
personal thing there. I don't know, but he was he was right back
at it. All right. Letme grab some phone calls here, Donna,
you're up first, go right ahead. Good morning, Jasey. You
already played the audio. I wasgoing to read the que I transcribed it.
But as an army veteran and asa proud American, I find it

(21:07):
very repugnant how easily he dismisses ora lost soldiers. He verbalized what he
did when those coffins were coming offof the plane by looking at his watch.
He just doesn't care. His sondid not die in Iraq. He
is not a gold star father likethese poor women, these gold star moms

(21:30):
imagine having necessarily listened to that.Yeah, everywhere I heard what he said.
Let me ask you a question,Donna, just on that phone.
And this is one of the reasonsI do steer clear. I don't want
to diminish the concerns that exist outthere, not just with Joe Biden and
his family over the burn pits andthe water issues at Le June. Right,

(21:52):
I think, yeah, and Ithink that those are legitimate questions,
concerns, and I you know,where there's smoke, there's fire, and
I'm not trying to put a punthere. And I think that if people
are going to serve this country,we owe it to them to not put
them in unnecessary dangerous situations. Look, we're asking them to, you know,

(22:15):
go into a war zone, andI understand that. But when when
they're back, you know, whenthey're back at their whatever base they're assigned
to, they shouldn't have to worryabout the water that they're consuming or taking
care of. Our soldiers should betaken every everywhere that they are taking care

(22:37):
of first and foremost they are theyare our defense. They put their lives
on the line. They should alwayscome first, and right, don I
appreciate the call. I'm sorry,I'm a weird little glitchy thing there on
the bearing Donna. But yes,so that was the audio Donna was going
to get in and I uh agree. But again that's I just want you

(23:07):
to explain why I kind of parseon stuff like that. There is a
reason for it, all right,Uh, Jason, go right ahead,
am I on it's Jaron. Yeah, I'm sorry, Jay, you go
right ahead, sir. Hey,look, they missed one of the requirements
in the debate. They should havegagged Donald Trump. That was what they
missed. But Donald Trump should havehammered away on the cognitive ission. He

(23:32):
dropped the ball there. But asfar as the debate goes, we don't
need to hurt Robert hurt tapes anymore. We've seen enough. I still want
to hear them. I want otherpeople to hear them and then they give
me the good stuff. But yeah, I I this is this is why
I am thanks for the call there. This is why I wonder if Republicans
made a or the Trump campaign,because now people are emailing They're like,

(23:56):
well, the States have already renderedtheir nomination. That's true. And I
don't know exactly what the process isfor the Dems, but I don't know
what the process really is for theRepublicans, but they have they have the
ability to make that change. Infact, the Democrats probably more so because

(24:17):
they have a slightly different system withsuper delegates, and they gave the super
delegates a lot more room to move. And remember, they did it because
they were constantly getting kneecapped by likeGreen Party and stuff. So it allows
them, it allows them to basicallyignore and and it's funny because it actually

(24:40):
creates this weird like class system rightwhere you have like it's almost like the
House of Commons, House of Lordsthing. Oh well, these are the
really important people in their opinion countsmore than yours. Okay, all right,
but no, there's a process.Each of the parties has a process
because you know, what if thecandidate dies before the committee or the convention,

(25:06):
what are you going to do then? And what if a candidate comes
and says, you know what,I don't want to do this anymore,
and I have to think, although, you know what, I'll hold out
because I'll admit I don't know,and I tried to dig into dig into
it a little last night, butthen I was watching it and I wasn't
finding what I was looking for.Does the candidate have to essentially acquiesce or

(25:30):
can the powers that be do stuff? You know where it says, hey,
I'm sorry, you're not the guyanymore. And I don't know what
the answer is, but I promiseyou the power brokers do. And those
are the conversations that Joy Reid istalking about. Boy, I would can
you imagine being a fly on thewall at one of these super Donor watch

(25:56):
parties or something? Oh I can'teven that must have been that must have
been a wild set of conversations.Let's see here. Let me get you
one more cut of audio. Weget again if you want anything you want
to opine on debate related feel freeeight eight eight nine three four seven eight

(26:18):
seven four would love it if you, you know, had kind of a
unique take, something we haven't heardbefore. I'm always interested to hear those.
Let's see, well, oh yeah, this, I have some questions.
In fact, let me do this. Let's go ahead and hit the
brake. Just looked at the clockat six forty six. Where are the

(26:41):
secret trillionaires. That's who I want. Ross. Are you secretly a trillionaire?
And you haven't told anybody? Doyou have a Are you a trillionaire?
It's just just between us, justus the circle of friends here.
Are you a trillionaire? Yeah,he wouldn't. I don't know, man.
We'll get into that audio and allsorts of stuff coming up. CaCO

(27:04):
Day Radio Program. Good Morning,CaCO Day Radio Program, phone number eight
eight eight nine three four seven eightseven four. Let me ask you guys
this because I'm paying attention obviously tothe candidates and what they're doing, but
I'm also paying attention to the moderators. Did you see anything that you thought

(27:26):
was overtly approaching a Candy Crowley momentwith Bash and Tapper? Ross did did
did you see anything you thought,well that is that was wildly inappropriate.
I mean, I thought there wasone instance where, you know, when
Biden was taught or when Trump wastalking, they didn't mute Biden's microphone.

(27:49):
Yeah, there was a few fewmoments like that, but it might have
not been intentional, but it probablywas intentional. Well, I also don't
think Tapper and Bash are running themute so now I'm talking about with them,
you know, I'll be honest.The only criticism I saw, and
I had a couple of you haveemailed me on this. People thought there
was a couple Biden froze moments whereTapper goes, you know, because I

(28:15):
don't know if you saw, ifthey stopped talking before they were allotted time
Tapper back, primarily Tapper Tapper go, you got you still have forty five
seconds and we need an answer onwhat we posed or something like that.
And some people thought that when Bidenfroze, Tapper was too quick to jump
in and restate the question. Imaybe I was saying stuff from the Blaze

(28:38):
that they said they lost feed forlike thirty seconds. Was there like a
thirty second like blackout or was thatjust on the Blaze? I know,
I well he was here was thething? So I streamed it, but
I streamed the five You're still streamingCNN, right, But I was streaming
it on the Fox feed that wason YouTube, right, so rather than

(29:03):
because I don't have cable, soeverything I do is stream and I guess
technically I could have you know,opened like the peacock app or something like
that, but I just went toYouTube because you got your choice of streams
there, and I had the Foxstream on and the thing dumped out right
at the beginning. But then Iclicked over to NBC or ABC's feed.
I can't remember whose it was,and they were ready to rock. So

(29:26):
I don't know who knows. Maybeit depends where they're pulling it from.
I guess what would be would bethe thing? So did the does the
Blaze have access to pull? I'mgetting into technical stuff, like what you
don't know is right to the leftof Ross there is a selector and uh.

(29:48):
On the selector, there's there's abunch of different options and basically he
can stream the various feeds from differentstudios in the building. And UH,
we have Fox News obviously because youhear at the top for the hour,
but there's there's UH, there's multiplechannels. There's the Fox where you hear
the news. There's UH what's calledthe unanchored, which generally has just live
feeds of stuff. There's the anchoredwhen they're doing the coverage like last night.

(30:14):
And you know, that's how weas a media outlet pull stuff.
I don't know how the Blaze pullsit. So I I honestly, I
don't even know how to answer that. All right, let's get to the
phones. Oh look at this,Jamal, what's up? Well ticing,
Oh, I'm calling in m Thebest thing Donald Trump did, Oh real

(30:38):
quick, talking about conspiracy. Anybodythat has rumble, We'll tell you who's
a contenttrator. Rumble was down forabout an hour into that debate. So,
I mean, rumble just totally crashed. Every if you and people like
what in the world. Literally rumblecrashed last night. Nobody didn't know what's
going on. But the smartest thingPresident Trump did. And I was screaming

(31:03):
it online and I kept screaming.I'm like, yes, they built Joe
Biden up to be Obama on thedebate stage. Everybody starts saying, and
President Trump stopped. Oh yeah,you know, he's a little scenew but
he you know, he's gonna beevery I saw some Democrats. Oh Joe

(31:26):
Biden gonna bite the floor with him. Oh, he's gonna he gonna do
it a Jamaal, We have thesuper cut. We're gonna play that here
in the next segment, so youget to relive your joy of one week.
You know, prior to the debateof all of these absolutely in the
you know, in the Democrat camp, journalist talking about how he's the greatest

(31:47):
thing since sliced bread, and yeah, tune their tune changed, isn't it,
Yes, sir. And I'm gonnatell you Casey, I will because
last night, of course, youknow, there's Hayes for Sheriff, Hayes
Mi Sheriff pushdown. You got thek c O Day Twitter channel, And
I was when I was streaming lastnight and I'm like, in the middle

(32:08):
of the day, one of thesomebody wrote, Jamal calmed down, yo,
yo, your blood pressure. You'regonna have a heart attack. I
was screaming and laughing so hard.And when he started that mumbling and stuff,
I'm like, oh my god.Oh. They started lying saying Joe
Biden had a cold, Like no, are they already start putting out that's

(32:30):
why it sounds that's why his voicesounds like that, and he's a little
off. He's got a cold.Man. They didn't say that. Nobody,
Nobody said that. Thing was like, Oh, this is gonna be
good. Joe Biden, the elderStatesman, Donald Trump, He's gonna get
on the Donald Trump skin. Hetried to get on the Donald Trump's getting

(32:51):
and Donald Trump looking at as athim in his face and Jake Tapper,
I'm gonna tell you when did andpeople did. I don't know people.
That was just Jake Tapper did tryto pull some last night. He was
talking about my thirty seconds real quick. Okay, last night last night,
when Jake Tapper was talking about Januarysixth, he kept letting them go back

(33:13):
and forth, back and back andforth. But when it came to the
economy and it came to immigration,he wouldn't allow him to go back and
forth like that. He could.They went back and forth about twice,
but when it came to January sixth, they stayed on that topic for about
five six minutes. Yeah, happyFriday, and uh well, I guess
probably not. If you're members ofmuch of the mainstream media, you're not

(33:37):
having a good day because uh wowserman. Uh we got again. We
got a lot of audio, alot of phone calls to get to We're
going to get into that. Butuh oh, and Pete calendar at eighto
five. I don't know, maybePete's like noh, Biden totally won it.
I don't know. I'm not gonnaput words in his mouth. We'll
get into it, but yeah,I think what I want to get into

(34:01):
with Pete though, is the isthe path forward? I think that's a
fascinating discussion. Right, Here's whatI mean by that, Like, there
is there is normally not a presidentialdebate prior to the official nomination party nominating
committee conventions. Okay, And II wonder if agreeing to the first one

(34:28):
being prior to that, if infact that probably was an air on the
part of the Trump campaign. AndI admittedly I don't know that I thought
of it and until I started contemplatingit yesterday, because now you have this
whole window of time, which isyou know, it's like a month plus

(34:52):
to figure out your strategy. AndI see people on Twitter, They're like,
they're not gonna throw this guy tothe wolves. What would make you
th think that that they wouldn't ifit's about winning. Remember, Uh,
it's it's the you know, it'sthe it's that whole rama manual crisis,

(35:13):
go to waste attitude. But it'sthe version where it's hey, as long
as it's the ends justify the means, right, are they going to throw
them to the wolves. You couldsay that's what they did last than a
purpose? Well and and but howdoes that manifest going for? I think
it's gonna be fascinating because it's righthere in our own backyard. Joe Biden
right now is I don't know wherehe landed at two am. I'm assuming

(35:36):
they wist him off, probably tothe Umstead and stuck him in his cryo
chamber or whatever. But UH airForce one touchdown at RDU at two am
this morning from Atlanta, and hehas an event at the at the State
fair Grounds later today. So Ithink a lot of people are going to
be watching the coverage of that.How what the what's the turnout going to

(36:00):
be? Let me ask you,let me ask you this if if if
you just watched that debate last night, you were planning on going to see
the president and UH and and youvoted for him, do you think maybe
you're like, you know what,I'm just gonna I'm gonna go to Jimmy
John's or something. I you know, maybe that'll be fascinating, But I

(36:22):
mean, really, the the theway in which if they choose to oust
them, that they do it.I don't think will be as restrained as
some people are thinking, because yousaw what what what? What? The
willingness to do things that Republicans Ithink wish they could sometimes, but they

(36:45):
don't have the media to go alongwith it, right you know? Uh
yeah, Let's let's let's put togetheran entire Russian collusion hoax. Let's get
intelligence officials, including literally the spouseof one of the debate moderators, the
one of the CNN anchors, Ishould say, not the debate moderator,
but the woman who eighty six theTrump spokeswoman. Let's put together this thing

(37:09):
saying that this Biden laptop is Russian, you know, right back to the
Russian. Well, let's go aheadand get rid of the ability to have
to get sixty votes in the Senateto confirm a judge. If you're willing
to do all these things, Idon't think it's that far fetched. Don't

(37:31):
believe me? All right, hangon, We're gonna get your calls here
momentarily in this segment. I dopromise, But what a difference a week
makes? What a difference a weekmakes? I'm gonna play you leading up
to the debate a little montage andI'll play a little montage from post debate,

(37:52):
and you're gonna hear a lot ofthe same voices or the same networks.
And once you know, the singlegreatest weapon that I think Democrats have
is the media willing to carry waterfor them. It's incredibly powerful choosing to
ignore some stuff or spin other stuff. And if you lose that weapon,

(38:17):
I don't know what you do,because unlike Republicans, Democrats are very good
at staying all on the same team. Right. That's why you know the
the repeal Obamacarey go John McCain withthe thumbs down thing, right, you
got to sadly, you have thecongresswoman no longer the congresswoman from where I

(38:39):
grew up, and a handful ofothers willing to do their own thing.
You don't see that on the Democratsside very much. You see a little
of it with the squad, whichis what I think irritates them so much.
And so the problem becomes, whodo you slot in there? Who
isn't on record supporting all of thereally bad stuff that has people so upset,

(39:01):
Who hasn't attended one of these uhyou know, screw Israel rallies,
who hasn't said no the border it'sgoing great. Most anyone you would put
in there is on record is lovingwhat's going on. That's a problem.
All right, So here we go. This is this is pre debate,
and go start your tape right now, because I'm about to tell you the

(39:23):
truth and that few if you can'thandle the truth. This version of Biden
is the best Biden ever he knowsso long as it's nine. In fact,
I think he's better than he's everbeen. President. Biden has a
photographic memory. His understanding and masteryof a complicated geopolitical situation remarkable. He

(39:49):
is sharp, intensely probing, anddetail oriented and focused. Jackie, you
here, Jackie, I I justwant to be clear. In this super
cut, obviously the person who putit together then inserted the Biden they were
not running it next to the statements. But the statements are statements from analysts
within the media. Okay, justaroun on the same page. I was

(40:13):
sitting, you know, a twofeet from him across the table, and
he was, you know, intenseto have trouble walking sometimes, Yeah,
so did that dr He wanted gdwar. But he's totally focused. He's
very sharp, They say he's sharpenedmeetings and so on. Very lucid,
well, very well done for him. Biden's stately, he comes with gravitas.
There hasn't been, as far asI know, a single claim that

(40:36):
Biden made a mistake. Agism isan issue. Americans have a rich history
of holding people's physical characteristics against them. Okay, you can ask African Americans
he's older, that doesn't mean thathe is unfit. And there's a lot
of agism there. Now, thisage attack, this obsession by the right,
Joe Biden may not be able tospeak for himself the way that he

(40:58):
used to. They want to thinkto take on government if we get out
of line, which they're talking onagain about him lying around. I think
people should be speaking up for JoeBiden. Americans and reporters in the media
are just judging him by a physicalappearance, and it's fur of the unfair.
Age is an asset. He showedexactly how with it he is.

(41:20):
The flip side of this point isthat he has a tremendous amount of wisdom
and experience. Have you heard anyconcernans from anyone who has met with President
Biden about him seeming a little slower, no more wild speculation from a bunch
of people who have probably never beenin a room with Joe Biden and certainly
don't have medical degrees that I'm awareof. You don't get paid for performance

(41:40):
to be president. You don't.The job is not a job of endurance.
I don't see Donald Trump out byriding like Joe Biden. It's the
Hillary's email. All they have isthat he's on all right, so again
going into this thing, everybody's happy, well, hold on, several of
you have sent me this the same. They can't throw him to the side

(42:01):
due to the fact that people havevoted for his nomination. Can't throw that
aside, ignoring the will the peopleproof Trump right. No, there is
a mechanism within the party. There'salso one within the Republican Party. If
you have a candidate who literally diesat you know, in that interim,
or you have a candidate who hasto maybe they have some sort of scandal,
they got to step aside. They'llhave to probably get Biden to agree

(42:24):
to it. But let me explainit real quick, and I'm going to
play the other half of this audio. If you have the biggest donors in
the party, who are probably theones who are in those circles having these
conversations last night, who are goingto go, look, I'm not going
to waste my money. And youjust saw that the amount of funds that

(42:47):
Trump was able to raise, Likethat's that's a stake to the heart.
And so if you get Biden tocome out and say, look, just
everything going on with my family,I just need to handle this. And
I think so and so is abetter person. He'll have to kind of
acquiesce probably to say face and everyonewill know what's going on. And I

(43:09):
think then the media would be youknow, bow, he's such a great
guy. He wants to go carefor his family, whatever it is.
But there is a mechanism where theycan the delegates can go ahead and entertain
others. Then they'll have a vote. You have to have it just for
those situations I just laid out.All right, now, allow me to

(43:31):
fast forward to uh right after thedebate last night, and let's see if
it sounds different. See if youcan spot the differences. Okay, it's
like that photo game, right,all right, it's not easy Ross when
you're dubbing this in did you constantlyget confused as to which was which when
you were like, oh, isthat the one from pre debate or post

(43:52):
I could see where it'd be difficult. Here we go. You can sure
that we're able to make every singlesolitary person eligible for what I've been able
to do with the want to beis a realistic of Biden. And then
I'm gonna play the audio. Sohere we go, making sure that we're
able to make every single solitary personvery eligible for what I've been able to

(44:14):
do with the UH, with theCOVID. I'ste you with dealing with everything
we had to do with UH.Look, if we finally beat medicare,
we find him, we find providinghousing for Black Americans, the impact of

(44:34):
the choice, the idea that they'regonna I'm not gonna. I've been proposing
that everybody they pay, the millionairespay one percent one percent, so no
one after I've not raised the costsof so security for anybody. Three,
I got my handicapped, which whenI was Vice president down to a six.

(44:58):
You're all the people that we justthe ability of medicare. I just
this is this is almost like kickinga puff. So it's painful. Let's
go then now to the MSNBC panelwho was among those sighted in that montage,
several of them, and see ifthey got some different thoughts. Okay,
all right, here we want togo to our colleague Alex Wagner,

(45:20):
who is on site in Atlanta.She has been watching the debate in the
spin room. Alex, what's thereaction that you've been hearing there. Yes,
I'm not going to put a finegene on it or or a spin
on it, even though I'm inthe spin room, Rachel. There has
been a uniformly negative reaction to Biden'sperformance tonight. Surely, as you know,
Joyce said, this was about revealingwho Donald Trump was, but it

(45:44):
was also Joe Biden battling a caricatureof himself as an enfeebled person, an
impression that Trump has been eager toconvey to the country, and he did
nothing to disabuse I think the countryof the notion that he is very old
and was lost frequently in that debate. I mean on answers that should have
been, to put it, bluntly, a layup for him, whether it

(46:05):
was abortion or the attack on abortionmedication. His answers were rambling and incoherent.
He turned an answer, He turneda response on abortion into a mention
of a migrant killing. Yes,this is MSNBC's initial reaction. Maybe CNN
had a different take. Let's goto John King. Shall we that?

(46:27):
Right now as we speak, thereis a deep, a wide, and
a very aggressive panic in the DemocraticParty. It started minutes into the debate
and it continues right now. Itinvolves party strategists, it involves elected officials,
it involves fundraisers, and they're havingconversations about the president's performance, which
they think was dismal, which theythink will hurt other people down the party
in the ticket, and they're havingconversations about what they should do about it.

(46:51):
Some of those conversations include should wego to the White House and ask
the president's step aside? Or otherof the conversations are about should prominent Democrats
go public with that call because theyfeel this debate was so terrible. They
do say in moments in the debate. Later the president got better and got
his footing, but then at theend, even his closing statement was a
little halting. A little halting isan understatement. So CNN, MSNBC,

(47:16):
we played you Joy read earlier.That's where the things at all. Right,
let me grab a call. Thankyou for hanging on, George.
I know that was a lot,but we got a lot to get to
go. Go right ahead, sir, Yeah, to two things real quick.
I want to give my heartfelt condolencesto whoever had to do the closed

(47:37):
captioning because that had to be abrutal night for whoever did it. High.
Yeah, I keep it on anduh, I was actually amused by
watching some of those moments, theclose captioning moments. Yeah, it was.
It was just that had to bea painful night for that person,
even with AI helping them, ithad to be impossible. And my second

(48:00):
point is, you know, theythey want to say that Trump lied twenty
six times, but if I can'tfind anywhere where they're listing what those twenty
six lies work, because a lotof times when they say that he's lying,
is merely giving his opinion that theydisagree with, and they call it
a lie. So I'm wondering ifyou know of any place where they're lifting

(48:22):
these supposed twenty six lives. CNN'sDaniel Dale, on his Twitter account,
posted a bunch of them to hisI guess to be fair, he posted
a bunch of Biden ones too.Now I shouldn't say a bunch a handful
there, And you're right, someof them do dwell into the opinionated side,
like when he was talking about theNATO stuff, and you know,

(48:42):
because that's just that's that's opinion,and Biden had his opinion and Trump had
his opinion as to whether him tellingNATO that they better get their crap together
actually worked in our standing within theworld. I mean, that's I guess
if you're doing the dollars, youcould that argument. But they got into
the realm of you know, whetherthe world leaders think Trump was better than

(49:06):
Biden. Well, now you're justcherry picking an opinion. So I don't
know. But George, thanks forthanks for the call this morning. Do
appreciate it. Just a reminder eightoh five, we're gonna bring Pete Calender
into this conversation. He'll have somethoughts and coming up here in just a
few minutes. We got a bunchof audio. We got to get into
so much from the debate, includingsome of the stuff we just talked about

(49:30):
with NATO, the border stuff,which was absolutely backcrap, crazy, no
the way to describe that, andoh so much more. Let me see,
we've got Stormy Daniel stuff in there, golf stuff, you name it
and we'll dive into it. Phonenumber eight eight eight nine three four seven

(49:52):
eight seven four. You want toget on the show, and we'll be
right back the debate last night.We're gonna get into more audio. But
I gotta tell you, Okay,Ross the reason I was digging around my
backpack for another adapter for my headphonesbecause they were just clipping on me.
And you ever find like twenty dollarsin your pants when you're doing laundry,

(50:15):
or maybe your wife does laundry.I don't know, but you know that
feeling. We're like, oh,it's twenty. Not that it's your you
know, it wasn't yours, butit feels like it's a free twenty because
who knows what would have happened.It's a great feeling. Right, there's
two bags of mini cheese. It'sfrom my flight vacation flight for American Airlines.
I completely forgot about them, sono I have cheese. It's this

(50:35):
morning, and that's right, Isaid cheese. It's Sue me who makes
these. I guess I don't knowwhoever, the company is Kellogg, sue
me, Kellogg, do whatever youwant. So I'm sorry breaking news right
in the middle of it. Ihad to share. Okay, let's uh,

(50:57):
let me do this. I justwant a bullet point where a few
things are at and then we'll getback into the audio one. It was
that it was, and it's gettinglost in all of this Trump. I
don't know what they told him.I don't know what he thought up or

(51:20):
somebody told him and then he saidit's his idea. I don't know.
But whoever crafted the way that hewas going to approach it. Not the
words, right, we can discussand debate and all that stuff, but
the the I guess, the thevibe that he chose to go with yesterday,

(51:43):
and what I mean by that isnot a repeat of the first debate
with those two from last time around, and not him in every response,
you know, doing Joe Biden cognitivestuff. Right, It was very measured.
He didn't say anything for what probablywhat fifteen minutes, right, fifteen

(52:06):
minutes when you know, it justbecame where you had to say something and
and I think that that was thatwas the right tact. You know,
it's the it's the old art ofwar thing, right, or it's an
Napoleon thing. I'm sorry, youknow, never interrupt your enemy when he's

(52:27):
making mistakes, and too often Trumpwill do that, right. That's it's
one of the things where you're justlike, dude, just shut up for
half a second, let him explain, you know, this thing, because
they're horrifying people with their explanation.But not last night, man. So

(52:50):
yeah, I mean you can,you can get into him in bellishing or
his opinion on stuff and all thefact checks and all that. That's fine.
But I think that his approach toit yesterday was very good because if
you if you beat him up onthe cognitive every time, you run the
risk of people going of feeling badfor him but also feeling angry at you
for latching onto it. And hedidn't do that. If you think I'm

(53:13):
wrong, go ahead and I'll askPete the same thing. Two And you
saw it in one of the audioclips we played there, the one from
John King. The the the moneyand the down ballot races are all that
is being discussed right now in uh, you know, powerbroker circles. If

(53:38):
and frankly The person in North Carolinawho should be the most bothered by that
that debate last night is Josh Steinalready tagged is the most important governors race
this election cycle. That is thatthat's devastating right there. You know how
probably you get the money that flowsin, but the interest among voters may

(54:04):
not be there. And that didnot do anything to aid that position.
I would I will love it ifsomebody get a mic in front of his
face. I'm assuming he'll be atthe Biden rally or maybe not. If
you're Josh Stein, do you showup to that thing, or do you
have a conflict that just came out, or do you get a cold?
So that would be point number two, right and I and I think that

(54:27):
that's that's that's I think that's avery important part of the context and what's
the process for for swapping this guyout. I still think that I still
think that the green to a debateprior to the nominating committees was a mistake.
And I don't know why. Severalof you have emailed me where you're
just like, oh, they voted, I agree with you, but except

(54:49):
for one guy is really angry atme for saying this and I don't know
why there are methods with or thereare within the rules. And and by
the way, convention rules are areso changeable. You've ever been to one,
you know exactly what I'm talking about. There is a mechanism built in,
not really for this per se,but like a dead candidate, right

(55:15):
or a candidate who withdraws, andso they're able to do that. So
the trick is you got to gethim to withdraw. But the other trick
is you got to get somebody inthere. And the problem is because everyone's
so lockstep within the party. Therethe big you know, the big names,
all of the same policies that Biden'slosing on. There's video of them

(55:37):
all in on this stuff. That'sa real problem, man. And I
think what's very telling last point andthen more audio you ready, Ross,
did you notice what was absent fromthe Twitter timeline as you were doom scrolling
it either last night or this morningthat we normally see during debates. Did

(55:58):
you see what was missing from allof that. I didn't see any posts
about except for like people who werejoking. I didn't see people getting into
the into the earpiece stuff right wherethey're posting photos at the exact moment his
suit moved and I see there's athere's a transponder in there. Right,

(56:21):
we're not seeing any of that,no, because typically we see that when
when you know, we see himone way uh uh, you know,
not during the debates and not duringthe stead of the union, and they
roll him out for these events andhe's like a super guy and he can
talk and he's go here and hemakes sense. But then right, and
the last night, it finally happened. Right, So what I was,
I was about to go to bedand I'm like, I'm going to bed.

(56:42):
He's not gonna malfunction. And thenall of a sudden, I see
my Twitter timeline blow up and peopleI'm like, it's finally happening. So
people aren't saying, hey, youknow he's wired or he's a clone or
he's a lizard person because it wasnot good. Yeah, I don't know.
That's like some sort of bell Weatherin my mind is crazy as that
sounds. All right, let's let'sget into this. There's somebody mad at

(57:07):
me over what is you know,I bet your fun at a party.
Some guy he just he sent methe literally the ingredients list from cheese its
and go enjoy your your chemicals manand your soy I will you know what?
I'm many eat both bags? Whatdo you think of that? Sir?
And I think I might buy someof the spicy ones because I had
to go shopping later today because theygot no food in my house. So

(57:32):
yeah, yeah, turning me offcheese its, that's not gonna happen.
All right, Let's get into this. Uh where is my border stuff?
Or is I just staring at this? Okay? Oh, where there's the
border? Oh it's in the okay, the dark. But I'm telling you
there, I got so much crapgoing on here. All right, So

(57:55):
let's talk about the border and uhmore specifically a the issue that might show
the single largest divide within the Democratparty. So it's gonna be really important
because they're not buying the Hey,we're doing everything we can, which I
actually thought that they'd come out withmaybe some concrete stuff they wanted him to

(58:17):
talk about. Hey, here's whatwe're doing. I was wrong. The
only terrorists who've done anything across theborder is one who came along and killed
three on his administration kill an noKada person committed and his administrations kill three
American soldiers, kill three American soldiers. That's the only terrorist that there.

(58:37):
I'm not saying a no terrorist evergot through with the idea. They're empting
their prisons where let were welcoming thesepeople. That's simply not true. There's
no data to support what he said. Once again he's exaggerating, he's lying.
All right, so you know,we get we get into this conversation.
Obviously, Trump did take it tospecific issues. He referenced the twelve
year old girl, he referenced theGeorgia case, and he was not ambiguous

(59:04):
about it. But then Biden saidsomething really strange for you fact checkers out
there. I hope this peaked yourinterest significant increase the number of asylum offer
significantly. By the way, theborder patrolman endorsed me, endorsed my position.
But yes, the guy who movedallowed to move forward. The Haitian

(59:24):
whipping incident nonsense. Even when thephotographer took the picture was like, no,
this is not he let Mayorcis goforward with all of that insanity.
The border patrol agents did not endorseyou. You had homeland security like Union

(59:46):
folks who did. But the borderpatrol agents Union, which is its own
thing, has endorsed Trump and theyhaven't endorsed him in the past, and
it's because the majority of agents realizewhat's going going on down there and the
level of disrespect that's shown when youknow you're trying to hang him over that

(01:00:06):
that those still framed photos of whatis a traditional way that you ride a
horse with split reins, they didn'tendorse you, and it was they almost
immediately came out and said that's that'snot true. So he really didn't do
anything to address it. And Ikind of thought that if you're going to
see anything leaned into, that wouldhave been it. And it clearly wasn't

(01:00:29):
the rased agic or no, no, I'm sorry, it's not Ray.
Who do we got this morning,Jeff mar Jeff Maher is going to lean
into spaghetti models because I see youguys got those going, oh yeah for
next week. They're peering all overmy news speeds. So let's talk short
term and maybe long term what's goingon, Jeff. I'm talking about some
hot temperatures that are going to beout here in the afternoon hours today and
for that matter, through the weekend. Before you get a little bit of

(01:00:51):
relief early next week. In themeantime, though, drive this morning,
sunshine this afternoon to hind your ninetyfour today, and then clouds will increase
tonight. There may be an isolatedshower thutderstorm popping up this evening over night.
A low down to seventy four tomorrow, partly to mostly cloudy, hot
and humid, a high ninety five, the heat index into the triple digits,
with an occasional afternoon thunderstorm. Rainincreases on Sunday ahead of a front
with behind the mid nineties. Behindthat front, clearing and cooler Monday,

(01:01:13):
with a high close to eighty sevendegrees. Okay, Jeff, appreciate it.
We're talking in hour, sir.Okay, sounds good. And uh
the we're gonna just for we gotPete at eight o five peak. Calendar
will join us at eight oh five. Really, the meaty stuff or the
stuff that people are like, Ican't wait to see how this goes down.
A lot of it was around,uh, Trump's felony conviction. You

(01:01:35):
know, what what's Biden gonna dowith that? And obviously Hunter's conviction,
what's Trump gonna do with that?And of course you know just the standard
talking points. I can't believe bythe way that Biden doubled down on the
good people on both sides. Butright, you know, Snopes even like
was like nah and and Trump,and Biden looked like he genuinely still believed

(01:01:59):
it. That's what was so wildto me. But we'll get into those
those hot button gotcha issues. Wegot whole string of audio coming up Casey
O Day radio program, and inboth the campaign website and the Twitter timeline
of Josh Stein, I don't seeany mention of the event. So is

(01:02:22):
he not going? Is he notgonna go stand with the with the president?
Over? Oh? And not justthe president? By the way,
do you know who's you know,who's the entertainment and I guess the MC
if you will for the event?Fat Joe? Yeah, when's the last

(01:02:43):
time you heard news about Fat Joe? Man? Fat Joe? And I
think the Triangle Pride band. Sobut over under on whether you thought Ross
do you think Fat Joe was stillwith us? Because you know, dude's
a big du I don't. Idon't know, ill will, I just
want to point this out. Ireally don't care. But I hadn't thought

(01:03:04):
about that Joe in some time,So, Annie Who, So we got
but I can't find anything on Stein'sTwitter feed or on the on his campaign
website, So I don't know.So maybe I know he and Robinson had
they were in Wilmington yesterday at wasit the Chamber or no, it was

(01:03:24):
what they call it. It's ait's a business leaders thing down there.
I don't know, it's the Chamber. And so they both spoke at that
event down in Wilmington yesterday, andhe's posted gazillion things about that, but
I don't see anything on the otherthing. So Annie Who, Let's get
into the juicy tid bits, right, suckers and losers, Charlottesville, Stormy

(01:03:46):
Daniels, felony convictions, your son'sa drug addict, all of that.
This was the nastiness. This wasthe meeting us that people were predicting would
be a large part of this,and it did manifest, but not as
much as I think some people wantit. All Right, let's start with
you know, he's not a loser, not a sucker. You're the sucker.

(01:04:08):
You're the loser, all right.So and again that's the that's the
story where the even the author ofthe story. You promised to reveal sourcing
on it, just be forgot aboutit. I don't know whoopsie. And
then Biden does the Stormy Daniels thingafter he feigns the outrage over his kid,
and I think he believes this stuffin the same way that I was

(01:04:29):
watching him. I was watching Bidenwhen he was talking about the Charlottesville thing,
and Trump's like, dude, thishas been debunked. This has been
debunked by partisan journalists. Right,what do you what are you doing?
And it looks Biden. I thinkBiden honestly believes that that's what he said
without any of the context around it. I think that's and that's amazing to

(01:04:53):
me because I just assume when peoplego down that road, they they know
what it is, but they don'tcare, which is super slimy. But
at least I understand that, youknow, you can, you have ears
that work. So this is thisis now on the button bar forever.
I didn't have sex with a pornstar presidential race. Friends, that's the

(01:05:19):
other year. Are you gonna tellyou should take credit though, for the
playmate of the year though, Imean, AnyWho, All right, let's
get in. Let's get into theconviction because as you can imagine, Biden
did go there, and I thinkTrump was prepared. It's not new information,
but I think he packaged it effectively. Number two, that was a

(01:05:41):
case that was started and moved.They moved a high ranking official, a
DJ into the Manhattan DA's office tostart that case. That case is going
to be appealed and won. Wehad a very terrible judge, a horrible
judge Democrat. The prosecutor, we'reall high ranking Democrats, pointed people and
both the civil and the criminal.He basically went after his political opponent because

(01:06:06):
he thought it was going to damageme. But when the public found out
about these cases, because they understandit better than he does. He has
no idea what these cases are.But when they found out about these cases,
you know what they did. Mypoll numbers went up, way up.
You know that because you're reporting it. And we took in more money
in the last two weeks than we'veever taken in the history of any campaign.

(01:06:27):
I don't think any campaign has evertaken hundreds of This is by the
way, this is like that callerreference. This is where the fact checkers
get really excited because I don't knowif that's I don't know if that's true.
You know, when you've adjusted itfor inflation. You know how they
write fact checks. So but youknow, it's also how Trump speaks.
Really put the cherry on. Let'sbring other people into a pistol whip what

(01:06:48):
they thought was wrong. Pete CalenderMiddays WBT. He joins us and Pete,
I want to ask you a questionbecause right at this very moment,
President of the United States is insideof our broadcast footprint. Right I don't
know where he is. I'm assumingthey wisto him to the Umstead or something

(01:07:09):
and stuck him in his crowd chamber. But maybe look, maybe he's not
moving around, and so the possibilityexists he could be listening right Yeah,
Okay, what would you say toJoe Biden if he was listening right now?
There's some advice that you would givehim, or maybe what would you

(01:07:29):
want to tell him if you knewthat he was listening right now? About
last night, mister president, youdid a fantastic job. There are people
that don't recognize how awesome of ajob you did last night. Your record
is awesome as well. Keep upthe great work. Stay the course.
People will they will come back toyour camp. I know the pulling might

(01:07:53):
be a bit squirrely right now,but I think it'll settle out in your
favor. You probably will win everysingle star eight because everybody hates Donald Trump.
I mean, that's just the factnobody likes him. Uh and right,
yeah, so you're you're you're gonnabe fine. Just keep doing what
you're doing. Now. You mayhear some calls for people that want you

(01:08:15):
to like step aside or something,but they're just jealous and they're they're you
know, they've got their own movesin mind, they're trying to secure power
whatever. Uh, don't listen tothem. Stay the course, stay in
the race all the way through theconvention. You got this this segment,
by the way, being brought toyou by the wheelbarrow full of money next
to Pete right now. So well, wait, I'll tell you why,

(01:08:36):
I'll tell you what was fascinating,and then finish up where you're at.
And if you've got to pause randomlyfor five seconds at a time during your
response, that's fine too. Wayahead of you, Okay, what clear
thinking presidents do They gather their thoughts, Casey well he had a cold,
Pete so and Trump lied. Whywouldn't you talk about Trump's lies? Trump

(01:08:58):
was a liar last night. Everybodyknows Trump black All my life, I've
been on this side of the equation. Well, I forgot. I took
that audio was the smaller one.But that's Trump saint Biden lies. So
I don't know what to believe.Here's here's though. There was two things
that were very telling to me.And I try to look for the things
that maybe the other hosts aren't gonnanotice, so we don't all sound like

(01:09:20):
One. Uh, there was aglaring lack of he's wearing an ear piece
conspiracy theories on Twitter yesterday and Ithink nose, Well, that's did you
not see? Right? Did younot see? He jiped? Okay and
then in the crack of his behindand then uh probably didn't Biden came up

(01:09:42):
to remove it. So but butno, like a lot of the stuff
that was normally there wasn't there,and I think that was an indicator of
the job. But two, andthis is the most important. It made
Ross watch Ross in the morning,he or in at night. He goes
to bed, right and then heit's up and he comes in extra early,
and that's how he ingested debate.I think it's so I don't text

(01:10:04):
him all night, but the factthat he watched it, that's crazy town.
Man. Yeah. Well, andthe worst part was that if they
were dosing the president with any kindof meds, which by the way,
there was a but there is apill. Like the people on the left

(01:10:25):
were dismissing this idea that the presidentwould be juiced up somehow on you know
prescriptions, like like, oh,that's so stupid, but it's actually not.
There's the former chief of staff forDonald Trump, Mick mulvaney. He
was on our morning show a coupleof well, I guess Monday morning,
and he talked about there is apill. There is a prescription. It's

(01:10:46):
in the White House medicine cabinet.He knows because he took it. It's
called provigil and I think the name, the actual name is like madafinil or
something like that. And they usethis. They give it to pilots to
to be focused and uh and clearon long trips, on long missions and
stuff like that. To me,they tried to prescribe that. A doctor

(01:11:06):
tried to prescribe it to me,and I'm like, no, I don't
want your I don't want that.You don't want to be too smart.
I have a very love hate relationshipwith prescription medicines anyway. And I guess
also they use it for smoking cessation, because I have the doctor explain it
to me, and I'm just like, you know, I'm good, and
it was really expensive. But whenyour president, I suppose I'm paying for

(01:11:26):
it. So yeah, I sawit. I saw that post. I
actually talked about it earlier this week. Oh good. Yeah, like I
had, like I had long suspectedthat they were, you know, every
president, not just this one,but every one of them. These guys
keep ridiculous schedules right there, flyingall over the world. They got to
then get off the plane and donegotiations and you know, high stake stuff,
and so there has to be thereat the very least, are getting

(01:11:48):
ivy right at the very least.So when uh Mick mulvaney explained this,
and I was like, well,that makes perfect sense. The problem is
I think they they were. Ithink if they were using him with something
that you know, his cold maybegot in the way of it, or
the timing the release was not timedwell because he got stronger the longer the

(01:12:13):
debate went on. The problem ishe was so bad at the beginning,
and he confirmed everybody's fears at thebeginning that people who don't watch all the
way through, and that's most Americansthat don't care about politics, they're going
to tune in, they're going tosee the opening. They're going to catch
a couple of minutes or whatever,maybe twenty of it, and then they're
gone. And the first that firsthalf of the debate was just painful.

(01:12:36):
And anyone who has had an aginggrandparent or parent in their lives, they
have seen the signs, they haveseen this behavior. It is it is
so obvious now that even media andDemocrats but I repeat myself, can't ignore
it, which to me is likethe funniest part of all of this,
although it's terrifying, but the funniestpart is that all of these Democrat lawmen,

(01:13:00):
makers and strategists and media people thatare like, I can't believe this
performance, but really, were youjust believing the bs about the cheap think?
So what's that all cheap think?I mean that was the big winner
last night was the split screen shot, right like that's oh yeah, that
that conveyed everything that we need toknow. And honestly, I got to

(01:13:21):
give credit to Donald Trump. AndI don't do this very often, but
I got to give him credit.He did not. He did not go
off like, you know, anunhinged lunatic. That's how the show.
Yes, oh yeah, and soyes, he did what he had to
do because if he had, ifhe had behaved as he has in the

(01:13:42):
past, then I think that wouldhave overshadowed and it would have given people
the ability to kind of look pastby him. But he just kind of
you know, all they've got islike, oh he lied, Yeah,
well so did Joe Biden. Helied like two dozen times too, about
all sorts of stuff. That's whatpoliticians do. They lie all the time,
especially Joe Biden. He's been doingit for sixty years. So I
thought, h Trump did a Ithought he did a good job. I

(01:14:06):
mean on a Trump scale, right, he's not well, no, normal,
that's exactly. Yes, that's exactly. And to echo your point,
there is that fine line to whereyou're acknowledging saying, hey, look at
this, but you're not doing itso often that people the simple you want
it's okay to be sympathetic to what'shappening with Biden. And as you pointed

(01:14:28):
out, I watched this with thefamily member with my mom, with my
grandmother who literally we had to explainto her my mom died several times,
like it's the emotions to go alongwith it are just wild because my mom
passed away before she did. Andso if Trump goes like first debate between
those two and it's just all inand every answer includes cognitive stuff, you

(01:14:50):
you dig Biden out of that hole. So I don't know if somebody,
I don't know if Trump thought ofthe measured approach or somebody convinced him it
was his own idea or whatever,but it worked. And yeah, the
format that the Biden camp pressed foractually benefited Donald Trump more so. And
also keep in mind, the earliestthis is a debate has ever happened,

(01:15:12):
right, And this was at thebehest of the Biden camp, right.
They asked for this. They preppedfor a week with like two dozen people
around Joe Biden to fully prepare him. Built, they said, they built
a face right in an airplane hangar. It's it's like the Bellagio highst in
ocean's eleven. It's rat Yeah,and so keep in mind, this is

(01:15:34):
this is peak, This is thebest. Like, the thing about this
kind of cognitive decline and physical declineis that you'll never be better than you
are today, right, there isno there is no getting better. You
don't turn the corner on this.And and so what we saw was a
week of preparation. Right, thisis Joe Biden performing at his best,

(01:15:56):
and this is what that looks like. And then of course you have to
ask who the hell is actually incharge now, because it's pretty obvious that
Joe Biden is not. And ifyou watch doctor Jill helping him down the
stairs at the end of the debate. After the debate was over, you
could see the feed that's coming fromCNN, and it's again painful to watch.
Now I do have some good news. The good news out of all

(01:16:18):
of this, yeah, yeah,is Kalala Harris has to go. Like
that's the silver lining here is noweverybody is aware that the vice president needs
to somehow get off the ticket becauseif she's still there, they can't get
rid of Joe. They have putthemselves in a very very tight spot here

(01:16:41):
because if they want to get ridof Joe Biden as now you see all
these people talking about it inside thedemocratic circles, because that's what democracy looks
like. I'm told is to notlet your voters decide who is going to
be the nominee, but you're goingto go into a convention and pick somebody
else. So they but they can'tdo that. You can't remove him with

(01:17:02):
well no, so and this iswhere And I'm glad that you're digging into
this because I don't know that Iam comfortable that I know exactly the answer
to this. There are mechanisms withineach Both parties have mechanisms because right,
you know, if a candidate dies, what do you do, Like you
have to have some sort of scenariofor this. So it's one thing to
say, you know, if theyjust eighty six Biden, but if he

(01:17:23):
comes out and he's like, lookwe got a lot going in with the
family, I'm going to go,you know, take the you know that
standard thing. Does he instantly goto Kamala because we haven't gone to the
nomination the nominating thing. And Iwonder if Republicans or the Trump campaign made
a mistake by not waiting until afterhe was nominated, So what do you
know? So he is so atsitting president, like the party is irrelevant

(01:17:46):
at this point because he's sitting president. If he's going to step down,
then Kamala takes over, takes over. Yeah, I got that, understood,
understand that. So so then whatwhat then what comes next? Right,
she's obviously if if that's if thathappens first, then she is obviously
going to seek the nomination. Now, maybe that happens in an open convention

(01:18:08):
and they have to fight it outand then she gets she gets bumped.
Right in the convention, you getsuper delegates. They do things differently over
right. But part of the problemright now, you've got a problem,
though, is that like some ofthese electors are already committed and they can't
be like Wisconsin, they can't bemoved from Joe Biden. What happens to
those don't know? Right? They'regoing to do for the numbers that you

(01:18:30):
have that are still uncommitted, solong as the committed don't outweigh it.
So I mean, and you knowas well as I do, that rules
at a convention can change, canchange absolutely, and they do. They
they love doing that. So youyeah, I'm gonna speed you along too,
just because I have like nine thingsI want to get to. I

(01:18:51):
Look, here's the problem is,there's two problems. One, the conversations
right now are about down ballot racesand fundraising the big any donors aren't going
to give them money. Josh Stein, do you, by the way,
do you think he shows up tothat rally today at the news? Yeah,
I couldn't find anything on his Twitteror any of the rest of this.

(01:19:11):
But but that is that's their that'stheir huge problem here. And uh
and so they had they have togo ahead and figure that out. And
if people just go, look,I'm not throwing money at that, that
is devastating. So that but theproblem is is Democrats do something that Republicans
don't, and that is lockstep onstuff. Right, and so all of

(01:19:31):
the things that voters hate right nowabout what Biden's doing, Any candidate you
could possibly think of is on recordgoing, yeah, screw Israel or yeah,
no, the border's fine. Right, They're mired in it because everyone
has to be in lockstep. Soit's a double problem in my opinion.
Oh yeah, well, yeah,you've got the donors that are closing their

(01:19:53):
checkbooks. I've seen multiple stories aboutit already today they're like, I'm not
going to put money on that,And that then creates problems if you are
the organization of the you know,Democrat Party at the state or national level,
because you need that money obviously tosprinkle around into all of the different
races. In North Carolina Democrats thatare always every single year, they're like,
we're at swing state, We're inplay. You should put a bunch

(01:20:14):
of money in here. Here.A few years ago, weren't they basically
go around the verge of bankruptcy.Yeah, correct, Yeah, they were
about to lose their headquarters because theycouldn't pay the rent. So kay Hagen
had to use the Wake County Republicor Wake County Democrat Party apparatus to help
her in her campaign against Tom Tallis, which she lost because the state party
was a wreck. So the thedown ballot impacts from a fundraising standpoint,

(01:20:39):
it just means there's not going tobe enough money going around at the lower
levels to help the local candidates.And now I mean the Democrats. This
this could cost them the Congress.They could lose every winnable Senate see and
healthy. Yeah, if the money. We're the most important governor's race.
That's what I heard. And sothe you know, the the gazillion dollars

(01:21:01):
they were going to spend, Imean, bad news for us, right,
that's that's our money. Yeah,that's the reality of it. So
let me ask you this, justbecause I got just about two minutes left.
Give me the where what we seeover the next week peak calendar prediction,
and then if you're wrong, willbeat you up next week. So
fire away, sir. What doyou where do you think this? What
do you think we start seeing asthe news cycle opens today, today,

(01:21:26):
today, over the next week people, So for the next three days,
right, So I think for thenext three days, you're going to be
seeing all of the you know,the internal deliberations, if you will,
in the leaking of stories and narrativesabout what to do about Joe Biden.
Right, You're going to see someI think pushback you know, from the
White House on that stuff. Idoubt that they're going to do any kind

(01:21:49):
of like uh like collaring Jean Pierrekind of uh uh uh press conferences from
the podium for a while. ButI could be wrong on that. As
you know, it's like I don'tknow, like they're gonna They're gonna try
to, you know, make whatevercase they can. But I don't think
Joe is going anywhere. I saidthis before. I really like, I
think there's gonna be an effort totry to get him out, but I

(01:22:11):
I don't think he's he's interested inleaving, and I don't think the family
is like they all knew this.Everybody that saw that last night has to
know that this is not the firsttime they saw him, and so the
family is going to be pushing backon that. Now, maybe I'm wrong,
and maybe some of the poohbahs inthe Democrat Party go up to him
and like, hey man, youneed to you need to step aside,
right, Yeah, I don't Yeah, I don't think so. I think

(01:22:33):
they're going to try to focus likethe next thing that Donald Trump says that
is borderline wacky, it's going tobe just all in. Yeah, it's
I think they're gonna have to tryto bigfoot the story. All right,
Pete Calender, And I'll tell youwhat. I don't know. If you
saw the Kamala post debate, We'regonna play that audio for all you coming
up. Uh, don't send herto do it. That's uh, that

(01:22:54):
would not work out. But allright, Pete, well I'm sure your
show is going to be banging.You can streaming on the iHeart Radio app
and we'll talk next week and beright back hang on. All right.
You know, I hate to dothis on the air, but I'm on
the air, and I'm in thissegment, and I was going to get
into this thing. And and Rossie, look, you put in a lot
of work, thank you, youknow, getting getting in an hour early

(01:23:19):
today, all of the great audio. We got more. We're gonna get
into the Kamala Harris audio. Sounderstand that. I appreciate that. But
I asked for Today's New York Timescover first today it's two hours early.
Well, second, that's today's paper. It's no, there's no, there's

(01:23:41):
It couldn't possibly be today's pay Whatis the lead story here? Justice is
ruling in perils the aid deal foropioid crisis. Oklahoma moves to require teaching
the Bible in school as sons.There's an assange follow up. China I

(01:24:02):
Ran intensifies work on nuke's. Howis that today's That couldn't possibly be today's
paper? You're telling me that TheNew York Times, on the front page
of their paper, top and bottomfold, didn't run a single story about
the debate. I mean, there'smore important things going on, right and

(01:24:25):
I'm sure somewhere in the back well. Now, if you go to the
op ed section, it's every writeris abandoning, including Friedman and others.
It's it's crazy. If you goto the opinion section of New York Times
right now, everyone's like, hey, we love you, but no,
so there's that. Now. Didyou see the headline and CNN? I

(01:24:48):
am so inundated with headlines? MaybeI did, Maybe I didn't. What
what happened to It just says weare I'm not kidding. Stop, it
says we are on there. Soif I go to their website right now,
that's not that they bleep out theF word, but yeah, that
is their headlight on the babylon bright. No, do you understand that.

(01:25:14):
I feel this is why I broughtthe multiverse up, because oh wow,
oh uh, President Biden, ifyou're listening, don't go to CNN
dot com. Okay, you couldjust avoid doing that, that'd be great.

(01:25:38):
That is savage in the New YorkNow Obviously The New York Times does
have stories. They actually have it, so they have it. I guess
they have a debate section and they'relike, no, we have a debate
section. That's why it's not onthe front. Whatever. Shut up.
The op ed is just one afteranother. The hits keep coming kind of

(01:25:59):
stuff. It's wild. But Ijust like it's I have the inability this
morning. You know, we've beendoing this for so long. There's things
behind the scenes. You don't knowthe level of giddiness omitting from Ross's studio
this morning, where every every everybreak we go to break he's like,
oh my gosh, did you seewhat I just put on the button bar?

(01:26:21):
I mean, we have a pageand how we have thirty five audio
cuts today, a lot of it. I will not get to all of
them. I will not get toall of them, but I want you
to leave that page up because Iexpect when certain people start certain criticisms,
then we can just go back toit. So, yeah, there's a
page and a half is monstrous.I mean, it just cuts twenty six.

(01:26:43):
We could fit twenty six on thebutton bar, right, but yeah,
twenty four. Yeah, it's justa matter of like I said last
night going to bed, because everysingle time one of these things rolls around,
it's always the same, Right,we don't see the Joe Biden at
Normandy or we see day to dayat that State of the Union or at
these debates. And last night beforeI went to bed, I picked up
my phones just to check it out, and it was like the the Steve

(01:27:03):
Carell office meme where suddenly it waslike, oh, it's happening, It's
happening. Yeah, Like he's justcompletely melting down on stage so much,
so much so that you have peoplelike Chrystaliza Sang from the Young Turks or
whever you say his name. He'skind of been out for he's kind of
been out for a while. Iwill say that you have the guy.

(01:27:24):
Yeah, you have these people thatare always in the tank though, right,
that are like this is not good, Like this is bad bad.
I don't know. But if youthink Kamala Harris is going to be the
answer, this is. This wasthe probably one of the last three things
Ross was very giddy about. AndI got a chance to watch it,

(01:27:46):
and I kind of understand why soPete mentioned it. But I want you
to remember the terms of this debate, the date of this debate, like,
you know, not having the audience, it's before the thing. Who
who even is going to host?That these were all exactly what the campaign
wanted. I don't think Trump pushedback on anything. And yeah, that's

(01:28:13):
it was a roll of the dice, but it seemed to have paid off.
So now Kamala Harris is sitting downwith Anderson Cooper and it's not going
well. He was a very differentperson on the stage four years ago when
when you debated him, you mustI mean that that's certainly true, is
it not? And by the way, that is a This is a very
good point because remember Kamala was theone with the school bus thing, right

(01:28:36):
with the bus sing and the littlegirl picture, and she arguably got the
hardest punch into Biden at the debateof any of the debates, I believe,
to the point where people were reallysurprised that he would pick her for
VP because she just she called hima racist. But anyway, all right,

(01:28:57):
so here we go. He wasa very different person on the stage
four years ago when when you debatedhim, you must, I mean that
that's certainly true, is it not? Anderson? The point has to be
performance in terms of what a presidentdoes, a president who against the capitol.
No, but I got the pointthat you're making about a one and

(01:29:20):
a half hour debate tonight. I'mtalking about three and a half years of
performance in work that has been historic. The other night, that, the
other night on the debate, everyday. By the way, this is
this is this is akin to beinglike, well, John Wayne Gacy didn't

(01:29:41):
kill the kids at the first fewparties. He worked, right, Come
on, I mean the good olddays. Man, this is a doomed
direction. She's taking this and it'sand by the way, you're like,
oh, this is hard to itgets so much worse. The person that
you saw on the debate stage thathas for the last three and a half
years up until today, performed ina way that has been about, whether

(01:30:04):
it be in the Oval Office negotiatingbipartisan deals so that we have an infrastructure
a real infrastructure plan where we're puttingtrillions of dollars on the streets of America
to upgrade our infrastructure. Whether itbe the person I see in the Oval
Office who is meeting with heads ofthe military and the intelligence community, and

(01:30:26):
in the situation room and by theway, this is and she led herself
into this because you'll hear with Anderson, but stepping into the person I see
in the Oval office. The nextlogical question that pops into my head,
thankfully, is what Cooper went withhere? We got ensuring the safety of
America, the person I see inJoe Biden on the world stage, convening

(01:30:46):
world leaders who often ask for hisadvice, most recently just during the G
seven conference. So I'm not goingto spend all night with you talking about
the last ninety minutes when I've beenwatching the last three and a half year.
Here's a performance. But this wasa debate that your campaign wanted,
You pushed for this debate at thismoment. Yes, yes, this is

(01:31:09):
everything that you wanted, and he'sasking you and you literally give it to
him this debate. How does thatcomport with what you see? And and
she doesn't want to go there,She doesn't have an answer. I'm blown
away. Nobody prepped her for itat all, because the prepping for her
sitting down after should have started thirtyseconds into that debate, right, and

(01:31:32):
I'm sure did. And she eitherchose not to or decided that she had
a better answer. But there Ihave to think that if if somehow,
some way he is out, andmaybe he's not going to be, it
has to be a path that doesn'tinvolve her cause I don't think her.

(01:31:55):
Can you imagine Trump in a debatewith her? I don't know. Man.
We'll get some popcorn first, though. Let's get some weather and Jeff
Mars here from the Weather Channel.Since ray takes super long weekends, what's
up, Jeff? What do wedoing? Some of the hot weather hats
for sure as we headed it thisweekend, and then we'll get a little
bit of relief early next week beforetemperature starts to rebound heading towards the fourth.

(01:32:17):
As far as today's sunshine with thelight breeze out of the ease the
end result of hind you're ninety fourthis afternoon and then tonight, increasing clouds,
possibly an isolated shower thunderstorm this evening, with an overnight love of seventy
four, hot in human tomorrow highin the mid nineties, the heat index
hitting the triple ditch when you factorthe humidity. The temperatures climb a few
more isolated afternoon thunderstorms, that chancefor rain increasees Sunday, which showers likely

(01:32:38):
also some more thunderstorms and a high. You're ninety five than clearing Monday with
a high reaching eighty seven degrees.All right, Jeff, thank you so
much, sir, do appreciate it. And we'll chat with Jeff Bellinger from
Bloomberg News. Ras. Shall weget Jeff's debate reaction? I wonder if
you'll go there? All right,we'll try hang on. Well, good
morning, casey. Economists have gottengood to predict the monthly PCE index,

(01:33:01):
which is the inflation gauge preferred bythe Federal Reserve. The index that came
in unchanged last month. As expected, The year over year advance was two
point six percent. That was thesmallest increase in six months. Stock market
futures are mostly higher right now.The S and P futures are up eleven
points, Nasdaq futures are up fiftyfive, and the Dow futures are unchanged

(01:33:24):
at the moment. American's personal incomesrose half a percent last month. That
was a bigger than expected increase.Consumers spending was up two tens percent,
not as much as predicted. Nikeshares down nearly fifteen percent, pre market.
The sneaker maker reported weaker sales forthe latest quarter. The numbers for
its Converse subsidiary where especially weak.Sales were soft in North America and in

(01:33:47):
Western Europe. Nike's outlook for thecurrent fiscal year was also a big disappointment.
At least two brokerages have cut theirratings and price targets on Nike.
Nokia's buying an American networking company,the Finnish Telecom will acquire California based in
finera corporation that neil is worth twopoint three billion dollars. We've spent all

(01:34:08):
of the money we managed to saveduring the pandemic. The savings help people
handle higher prices, but now thatthe cash is gone, consumers are trimming
their spending. That's rippling through theeconomy. Delinquencies are on the increase.
Retail sales were soft in April andMay, and chain store executives said during
recent earnings calls that shoppers have turnedcautious. In casey, a Western movie,

(01:34:30):
Horizon and American Saga Chapter one wasa labor of love for Kevin Costner.
It opens in theaters today, butBox Office pro says movie fans are
not all that excited. Projections arethat the movie will take in between twelve
and twenty million dollars in the USand Canada this weekend. The movie cost
one hundred million dollars to make.Costner says he put thirty eight million dollars

(01:34:53):
of his own money into the project. Casey, alrighty, thank you much.
Jeff, you want to you wantto do a Beata analysis with us?
Did you watch last night or Icouldn't stay up and watch it.
I heard a lot of clips fromit, and I think I heard what
everybody else heard. I'm going toleave it at that. All right,
fair enough, Thank you sir,appreciate it. Have a good weekend.
Take care. Yep, there yougo. Jeff Bellingcher Bloomberg News and uh

(01:35:17):
yeah, all right, what didI What nine things have you learned in
the last five minutes? Ross thathas you giddy other than savaging by who
is that? Chris Wallace? ChrisWallace called it a car crash that just
keeps going, repeating over and overagain in slow motion. You know,

(01:35:39):
we we we mentioned the comparison whenthey built like the fake stage to like
Ocean's eleven. Can you imagine ifthe heist had gone that wrong, right,
just I mean they'll just right,they'll just go in a shot,
right yeah, all yeah, whoopsie, Yeah that was I have We have

(01:36:00):
so much audio and get too butthat's okay. Some of this, some
of this will definitely be rebounding comingup here. Is there any cuts that
you pulled that I hadn't played yetthat you're like, oh, you got
to play it because obviously you youdubbed in a corrupt Oh the new Something,
Maybe I should play that? Yeah, I got time. So Gavin

(01:36:25):
Knewso who looks like he fell asleepin a Tanning booth, he had some
thoughts supposed to Bate. You wereout there getting a chorus of questions about
whether Biden should step down. Thereis a panic that is set in.
Well, there is panic that hasset in among people who have watched this
debate, who are Democrats, peoplewho are strategists, and some even inside
Democratic campaigns. Do you think it'sunfounded? Well, I think it's unhelpful,

(01:36:48):
and I think it's unnecessary. We'vegot to go in, got to
keep our heads high, and asI say, we've got to have the
back of this present. You don'tturn your back because of one performance.
What kind of party does that.It's been a masterclass. Fifteen point six
million jobs. That's eight times morethan the last three Republican presidents can buy.
The only thing to last. Bythe way, the job stuff makes

(01:37:13):
me so irritated. And Trump didaddress it, but it's you know,
it's rebound stuff. It's in California. That's crazy because we just had the
story in California with all those jobsthey said they had last year, it
turned out to not be true andthey were a net loss. So this
guy, this guy to lie about. Anything Republican presidents have in common is
recessions. Democrats deliver. This presidentis delivered. We need to deliver for

(01:37:38):
him at this moment. With alldue respect. The more time we start
having these conversations go down these rabbithole it's unhelpful to our democracy, a
fate and future of this country theworld. They need us right now to
step up, and that's exactly whatI intend to do. Yeah, that's
a dude. By the way,I still think is jockeying for Kamala's job.
But the scenarios that they've discuss,because remember she was a senator,

(01:38:02):
nobody wants to backpedal, is puttingher on the Supreme Court. You've heard
that talk, right, which butthen you have to talk one of the
Democrats into stepping down on the onthe court or one of the appointees.
And you know that you saw howwell that worked with Ginsburg. So uh

(01:38:23):
yeah, that's rock and hard playstuff right there. Man. Uh all
right, I just played this onemore time. I didn't have sex with
a porn star because I love thatthat's in my system right now. And
then, uh, finally, justbecause I was very amused by the golf
discussion and I demand that this roundof golf take place. That even entered

(01:38:45):
into it, well in my computereda little bit. Look, I'd be
happy to have a driving contest again. I got my handing. Well,
whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, you wanted to play a round of
golf, not a driving contest.By the way, I'd still watch that,
but I want to see the wholething what he is. Look,
i'd be happy to have a drivingcontesting him. I mean, I got

(01:39:09):
my handicap, which one I wasdown to a six. And by by
the way, I told you before, I'm happy to play golf. If
you carry your own bag, Ithink you can do it. That's the
biggest live And here's the sixth handicapof all. I was an eight handicap
eight, but I know this one. I don't know. That's so funny.

(01:39:36):
And then he says to Trump,he goes, see, I'll take
you on if you if you carryyour own bag. Yeah, he said
that before too. And I didn'tunderstand the guy standing on stage looking like
he's about to drop dead.
