00:04:06
Day and History on Light, liberty, Happiness. I just noticed I never
00:04:14
gave you an agenda. Hopefully you've got Oh boy, here we go,
00:04:17
all right. In nineteen fifty five, this one's for Woody. Yeah,
00:04:21
let's do it. Disneyland in California opened its doors. Have you visited?
00:04:28
Wait, no, it's on the books. We have a reason we haven't,
00:04:30
but it is on the books to visit. Okay, yeah, and
00:04:33
what was your most important this day in history? There? Trim uh JFK
00:04:46
Junior died in a plane crash. I remember, nineteen ninety nine. I
00:04:49
do remember that. What's the most significant part of him dying in that crash?
00:04:58
He was likely going to beat for the Senate, That's that's right.
00:05:01
Yeah. And if they were both Democrats going for the primary and he lost,
00:05:06
well lost his life and she won. He nice to have rfk On
00:05:12
Junior to talk about the Kennedy uh curse if you want to call it that.
00:05:17
Yeah, maybe we get r F k On alright? Isn't then what
00:05:23
I said? R f k Jr. We should have him on and we
00:05:27
should okay, all right, moving on drama? All right, cut one,
00:05:44
Oh boy, y'all call me here. We go. Democratic Party for
00:05:49
for a very long time, not just the selection cycle, has been doing
00:05:54
a lot of active outreach around the South Asians, around the API in general.
00:05:58
And and we'll continue to do it. I mean, what we that's
00:06:00
not your cut one, my bad business. You got to go to school.
00:06:03
You gotta get good and grades to even have a chance. What was
00:06:08
the best in your class? What's the point I'm talking about a chance?
00:06:12
You might not make him, but you're sure as hell won't if you don't
00:06:15
try. What do you even care? What I do? I ain't gonna
00:06:17
live forever, all right? That is uh the hill Billy elegy. That
00:06:27
is jd. Vance the the newly named vice presidential candidate Donald Trump. It's
00:06:34
from his book. I missed out. I thought it was going to be
00:06:39
a Trump slide ticket, but apparently jd. Vance slid in at the last
00:06:43
second. I don't. I don't think I would have voted for that too.
00:06:48
We would have had you lead. Trump would have had to have been
00:06:50
second man that comes he would he would have stepped to the side fight.
00:07:00
Anyway, it's a good movie. I remember recommending it, but you've seen
00:07:02
the movie many years ago, I'd say five years ago. Okay, I
00:07:08
never was I remember saying I liked it and recommending of others, but man,
00:07:12
my mind is now forgotten what it was really about. This is I'm
00:07:15
gonna get off on a little bit of a tingent here, but we've got
00:07:17
a couple of minutes. Yeah, And I just I'm saying this as an
00:07:23
outsider looking in. I don't everything is always the media is a narrative.
00:07:30
Let's just say it that way. So it's hard to concentrate when you see
00:07:35
what he over there, scrambling Babe. I looked down and was under my
00:07:43
feet under the power strip, and I don't want to I won't get lit
00:07:46
up over here. So I mean, it's one of those things where I
00:07:51
just I'm gonna call it out because I don't know what they mean. When
00:07:55
they introduced jd Vance as being the new vice presidential candidate. Right, they
00:08:00
keep calling him the middle class warrior, blue collar guy. Okay, I've
00:08:09
looked at his bio. I still can't find anything that he's ever done this
00:08:15
blue collar. I like the guy. I don't get me wrong. I'm
00:08:18
not saying I'm just saying, where do they come up with this stuff?
00:08:20
I think that's the I think that's the part of it. He can't He
00:08:24
brought himself out of Appalachia and went to Yale, went to the Marine Corps,
00:08:31
went to law school. So, yeah, he made himself something out
00:08:33
of I guess. I guess when I think that, I think this guy
00:08:39
worked in a factory cut you know, tried to just make ends meet,
00:08:43
and then worked his way out of that. When you say blue collar,
00:08:46
I mean that's what I think. I don't think it's where you came from.
00:08:52
Yeah, I mean a lot of people come from an Amazon factory.
00:08:56
Their parents worked there, but that doesn't make them blue collar. Yeah.
00:09:00
I guess that's that's where when I saw that, I thought, wait a
00:09:01
minute, his background it makes him. They don't get me wrong, he
00:09:05
fights for the blue collar people. How crazy is it that the VEC and
00:09:11
he would have gone to law school at the same time, and he needs
00:09:15
to watch football games together at the bar. Isn't it crazy? I mean,
00:09:18
that is just wild. Imagine those conversations are twenty years old. Yeah,
00:09:24
movie theater drama. Let me tell you this one. Would he take
00:09:28
my daughter to the movies? While we're at the beach last week? They
00:09:33
have the recliner seats. Have you ever been in those? Yeah? Yeah,
00:09:39
so I got to hop up to get in it where they feed you
00:09:41
or just the seats are reclined. Just the seats reclimbed. Okay, yeah,
00:09:45
and so I reclined back. We're all we're getting ready to watch the
00:09:48
movie Despickable Me six seven three. Yeah, okay, phenomenal. By the
00:09:54
way, I like a minion. Oh They're They're great. Good movie.
00:09:56
So anyway, I'm just sitting there and it's actually reg and it's like,
00:10:00
hey you okay, and I'm like, no, I'm burning up. I
00:10:03
had sweat rolling off my head and man, I could not. I'm like,
00:10:09
there's no way a theater is this hot. I had no idea they
00:10:13
were heated, and evidently I had accidentally hit the heat button. I had
00:10:16
it all the way on high. Oh my god, yes, the seats
00:10:22
were on fire, and I was like, no wonder and the man I
00:10:26
was drenched to get up and go to a different seat to cool off.
00:10:33
I toughened it out like a real man. All Right, what do you
00:10:35
got. I've been drama. I've been glued to the RNC. Oh,
00:10:39
it's been great. I've been watching so One thing that I cannot stand is
00:10:46
the people that talk over the speaker. So I want to watch the speeches.
00:10:52
I don't want to hear anybody's opinion. I don't want to hear what
00:10:54
the theme of the day is. I just want to hear, and especially
00:10:58
the Republican Convention because they're so inspirational. And this year's probably been the best
00:11:03
of all RNCs that I've ever watched. Yeah. I mean, I guess
00:11:07
maybe people say that every time they watch one, but these things have been
00:11:09
emotional, mainly because of what happened to Trump, I guess yeah, and
00:11:13
it and their strategy. Like when it first started happen on day one,
00:11:16
I was like, what are they doing? I don't even Like a buddy
00:11:20
of mine text me and goes, why are they getting all the why are
00:11:22
they shotgun and all the stars? Right? From the beginning. Yeah,
00:11:26
and it's because they put the everyday people at prime time. Oh my god,
00:11:28
that what a great move. Though. Yes, so I've just loved
00:11:31
it. But what I can't stand so for me to watch it, I've
00:11:33
had to watch on y'all. Are y'all Do y'all have the app rumble?
00:11:37
I do not. I only downloaded because Charlie Kirk told me to. But
00:11:41
I've never seen a single post on it. But I got this little notification
00:11:46
that says you could watch it live stream. So I don't get to see
00:11:48
any of the pundits. I don't get to see any commercials. I get.
00:11:52
I literally see what's on stage, and when you compare that to what's
00:11:56
on ABC News, it's laughable. Oh I know. So I've got the
00:12:00
top five speeches when we get to that part of the thing, five or
00:12:03
six perfect. The one that's number one, which is how we end the
00:12:07
show today is I brought it for the show? Is Favec's speech is one
00:12:11
of the best I've ever seen at a convention. Not one second of it
00:12:16
was played on ABC News, the twenty four hour channel. What they did
00:12:22
do is they just show why do they put it on split screen and show
00:12:24
you a guy speaking. I don't, but you don't get to hear them.
00:12:26
Yeah. Instead, I'm listening to the ABC news person tell me what's
00:12:31
going on. I heard C SPAN has uninterrupted with no one on. Yeah,
00:12:37
I'm going to try se SPAN tonight. I don't have that on YouTube.
00:12:39
I couldn't find it on YouTube TV. Well I get YouTube TV,
00:12:41
so I looked for it. So I just ended up watching it on my
00:12:43
phone and put it on the big screen because it's really neat to watch,
00:12:46
and it's it's purposeful. If there's a black person that goes up there,
00:12:50
they don't show the are you serious? If it's an out of shaped white
00:12:54
guy, they'll show that black woman. Last night was the best phenomenal.
00:12:58
Oh god, she was. I was ready to fight when she said,
00:13:01
are you sick and tired of being sick and tie? Oh? Yes,
00:13:05
she was so good. Yes, that's why, that's why I love this.
00:13:07
R and C has been so good. I hope tonight's just as good.
00:13:09
Yeah. What if you want a cool movie on Netflix? Real quick?
00:13:13
Yeah? Alone? Okay, the show or the movies just called alone.
00:13:20
Alone. There's a show called Alone. This. This is a movie
00:13:22
called alone, and it's don't watch it with your wife, but make sure
00:13:28
you don't let her watch it alone. It is so damn good. Okay,
00:13:35
who's a thriller? I love a good thriller, dude. It is
00:13:37
really good on the sports yep, man, I was looking up thrillers.
00:13:41
It's time for sports, all right, quickly, we'll go through sports.
00:14:00
Ryan Blaney one at Pocono this weekend. Not really wasn't much drama. They're
00:14:05
right that race is they're gonna do something different. You want to get rid
00:14:09
of race. There's there's one to get rid of. Do they still do
00:14:11
two Pocono? Yes? Remember last year they tried the back to back weekends.
00:14:18
Yeah at Pocono. I remember Super and A again like that. Yeah.
00:14:20
NASCAR will return to Indy at the Brickyard this weekend. Can't wait for
00:14:26
that. That I'm excited about. I think, you know what, Having
00:14:28
a little pause was fine because I was kind of getting tired of it.
00:14:31
But I'm interested in going back. I'm okay if they want to do that
00:14:33
on every track, yes, exactly, do what every other year or something?
00:14:35
Yeah, I'm waiting for what he to do his twirl? Are you
00:14:41
ready for another one. Uh oh, no, you're I've got it now,
00:14:48
all right? Uh f one. If you will be in Hungary this
00:14:52
weekend for the Hungarian Grand Prix, I wonder if I don't make me eat
00:14:56
breakfast. I don't know, wake up hungry, I'm sure, man.
00:15:00
It'll be interesting to see if Max is improved or if they are still struggling.
00:15:03
Red Bull All Star Game. Nothing didn't watch Pitch. I've been so
00:15:09
glued to the RC. I agree. The only the only thing I cared
00:15:13
about was Paul Skans. That's all I cared. I wanted to see him.
00:15:16
How did he do? Uh? Shutout inning? Okay, yeah,
00:15:20
he he didn't strike out anybody, but he got judged to hit out.
00:15:26
I mean, so he got them all out. You know, I love
00:15:28
PTI and I watch it. I cannot believe how elevated they got with each
00:15:31
other because Skeen started and Michael Wilbon was going nuts that it should have been
00:15:37
sale because just stop, I hate that stuff. Yeah, it's a it's
00:15:46
an exhibition game of entertainment. Yeah, and Paul Skins is the guy right
00:15:50
now? Do you realize they have pulled him out twice with a no hitter
00:15:54
in the sixth inning. I hate that. Well, I know, but
00:15:58
I mean he's young, and they're they're afraid, you know. But two
00:16:03
in the sixth inning, there's no Nolan Ryans. He might be a joke.
00:16:07
They won't let him be. No, I know, you know,
00:16:10
yes, that's a great point. Yeah, but anyway, that's the only
00:16:12
reason I cared to watch, and once he was done, I moved on.
00:16:17
But did y'all see the drunk national anthem? Yes? I heard about
00:16:21
it. Have you heard it? Yes? Oh, I haven't even heard
00:16:23
it. It's bad, bad, but yeah, Paul Fans is favored to
00:16:29
win the Cy Young Award. That's only happened once that the Rookie of the
00:16:34
Year won the Cy Young. Who was that, I'm going to guess Fernando
00:16:38
Valence, Yes, you got it. I was such a Dodger fan when
00:16:42
I was God. I used to look up in the sky when he would
00:16:45
pitch. Loved it. He was great And I wasn't a Dodger fan,
00:16:49
but loved watching him. What was his nickname? Fat Mexican? I don't
00:16:56
know, Hey, Facebook, you know, Yeah, well I love him.
00:17:00
I said I loved him before it was just a description. Gosh,
00:17:03
what's wrong with adjectives. I did like the You just made me think of
00:17:08
the senator last or the congressman from Wyoming? Was it? She he?
00:17:14
Oh man, it's funny. By the way, dreamy, oh good looking
00:17:19
follow holy cat you walked out there and I said, he got my vote.
00:17:22
You know, I've got to say, you know, we we may
00:17:26
have lost Bob good right, and we lost him to what was the guy's
00:17:30
name, the McGuire McGuire, Well, McGuire was the Navy seal. Right,
00:17:37
that was the ad that you heard, hung cow Navy That that sheehe
00:17:41
guy Navy seal and uh, the guy from Nevada Brown, Yeah, he's
00:17:48
been burned up. He was in the military. Yeah, dude. That
00:17:52
that to me is where the endorsements are coming from. I don't think I
00:17:55
don't think Trump cares what you really policies are. He wants military people to
00:17:59
be represented in Congress. Win some sears, win some sears. It's yeah,
00:18:03
it's becoming a trend. Ye all right. Uh, let's see Argentina
00:18:10
and the Copa America finals. That was a good finals. It's the first
00:18:12
time in out of life that I have watched soccer. It was very exciting.
00:18:17
Yeah. By the way, the Latin American soccer is a lot more
00:18:19
fun to than watching the European soccer. Very physical and they do not flop,
00:18:23
or at least the ones I saw. Okay, so the Copa was
00:18:26
terrible flopping. The Latin Americans were, oh, which one are you talking
00:18:32
about? Spain? And I'm sorry, I'm sorry. Copa is the Latin
00:18:37
Maria. Yes, you're right, Yeah, dude, it's like a flop
00:18:41
city. And Argentinian dude just kept telling people to get the hell back up.
00:18:44
I wish people just kick somebody from flopping. Correct. Yeah, yeah,
00:18:49
that's going on at the same time. Yeah, they were that was
00:18:52
that was fun to Spain in England was in the finals, but they're much
00:18:56
more physical. Yeah, and they don't flop. They did not flop.
00:19:00
Yeah, yeah, I didn't. I didn't see as much flopping at all.
00:19:03
And but I'll say, man, there's Latin of Americans had those feet
00:19:04
and it can fly. Yeah. God, lady's so good. All right,
00:19:08
moving on, what's happening. It's time for news. Well, we
00:19:23
won't be long in the news because there's not a lot of news to get
00:19:26
to this week. Just kidding. Yeah, the assassination attempt. Obviously,
00:19:33
we're gonna talk with Kent Roby coming up, just about the insides of that
00:19:37
and all the workings of that whole situation. I got a million questions.
00:19:41
I hope you are prepared, Trent. Well, I'll let you ask one.
00:19:47
I'm sure you got some. That's fun. Anyway, we will uh,
00:19:51
we'll have him coming up at five point thirty, so mark your calendar.
00:19:53
There Where were you when you found out? By the way, I
00:19:56
was sitting in front of the TV. We had just gotten back from the
00:20:00
theater, and I sat down, I turned it on and I don't know
00:20:03
why, but the Hotel TV was on MSNBC, yeah, and they were
00:20:11
just now trying to figure out what was going on, and so I scrambled
00:20:17
to try to find Fox and flipped it over and then it went on from
00:20:19
there. So, yeah, it was crazy. To the convention so far
00:20:26
we've talked a little bit about it's been phenomenal, yes, And how bad
00:20:30
ass to literally divine intervention takes place. Your ear gets grazed by a bullet
00:20:41
that should have killed you, and you're playing golf the next day and then
00:20:47
coming to the convention. I would venture to say and saying this, if
00:20:52
it had happened, the Democrats would have canceled their convention. It wouldn't have
00:20:59
been a convention. Yeah, if that had happened on the Democrat side.
00:21:03
Yeah, I just it was amazing that everything has just gone you know what
00:21:07
it happened. Let's you know, the Republicans have just pushed forward. He's
00:21:11
such a he is he knows because he's a leader. He just knows what
00:21:17
leadership looks like. Yeah, and he knows that you cannot back down.
00:21:21
Yeah, and it's in his blood. Literally, it's been Yeah. I
00:21:26
have been impressed with everything so far that I've seen. I love the format
00:21:30
that they've got, the speeches. They not let them drag on and on
00:21:33
and on. Dude. Little Marco was phenomenal last ye yeah, yeah,
00:21:38
and he was in I think he ended the speeches, right, he was
00:21:41
the last one asked, the last main guy. Yeah, all of them.
00:21:45
Well before Laura, Oh that's right, that's right. Laura oh man,
00:21:49
she been lifting or what she did that one time and I was like,
00:21:52
oh so I watched those things, and you know, I've been watching
00:21:56
RN seasons. I was sixteen years old, and I just love those things
00:21:59
and beaches are my favorite part, I'll say, even the people that put
00:22:03
it together. Like interestingly to me, I mentioned before that they changed the
00:22:07
primetime hour to let regular people talk. The primetime hour is when your big
00:22:11
wigs are supposed to hit. Yes, Well, the other thing you're supposed
00:22:15
to do is you're supposed to do in chronological order of who got out of
00:22:18
the race. So Desantas should not have been after Hayley. She should have
00:22:25
been last because she's the last one that was in the race. So that
00:22:29
they didn't do that. But man, what a way they did that because
00:22:33
of a vec Oh man, he had the crowd going sky high. Yes,
00:22:37
now she came in and she was gracious in what she had to say.
00:22:40
And have you seen that Trump said that she was the one that asked
00:22:42
to come. He isn't the one that did. She lied about it.
00:22:47
If you read his lips. He goes, I didn't tell her to do
00:22:48
that. She wanted to do it there. He says that up on the
00:22:52
stands anyway, But her tone brought it down. But it was great,
00:22:56
and then Desantas picked it it right back up this right, he picked it
00:22:59
in. You couldn't have done of a Vec de Santus than Haley. No,
00:23:03
because you can't follow that correct. Oh man, it was so good.
00:23:07
I looked at Uh, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, and I thought, man,
00:23:11
that speech is great. I felt bad for Ben Carson, but damn
00:23:14
he knocked it out of them. Yeah. I thought, by the end
00:23:17
of Ben's I'm glad he's not our VP. He's just always had He's just
00:23:22
a nice guy. He is very intelligent always. He's not a leader in
00:23:26
my opinion, he's just really smart. He is. Yeah, and he's
00:23:30
and he's I mean, he's religious, compassionate. I get it. But
00:23:33
man, after he was done, I was like, hey, good speech.
00:23:36
But hmm, I will say this too. I thought the hardest follow
00:23:41
up from a speech, unless you were coming by the VEC, was the
00:23:45
black lady that lost her son. Oh. She was phenomenal the way she
00:23:49
hit Alvin Bragg. Yeah. And and I mean I know she might have
00:23:53
been reading from a teleronter. It didn't feel like, now she should be
00:23:56
one of our candidates. Yes, Oh, goddess, so she should be
00:24:00
fighting for New Yorkers. Yeah, because that woman had it. Yeah.
00:24:03
And then Huckabee followed and she says, that's a hard one to follow right
00:24:07
there, and then she knocked it out. Oh man, that was so
00:24:11
good. Man, take you by the work day. That was the best.
00:24:15
Oh that line was great, I laughed out loud. Well, hopefully
00:24:19
do we have some of those coming up an hour number two? I do
00:24:22
have, Actually I don't. I have the end of the show. I
00:24:26
have the vex because I saw so many channels did not show him. I
00:24:30
don't know why they do that. Any any negatives with the camp, with
00:24:36
the that you've seen that you would say, you know what, I haven't.
00:24:41
This is not no, I really haven't either. Yeah. I mean
00:24:45
they've done music in between, you know, because I'm watching the live version
00:24:48
and the music hasn't been great, But you almost need to have something in
00:24:51
between, just to give a little bit of a pause. So I'm interested
00:24:55
because I asked Ashley. I was like, man, I've I was asked
00:24:59
when I was on Tawn Council by multiple people to be a delegate, and
00:25:02
I really don't. I'm just gonna be honest with you. I really don't
00:25:04
know what that entails, and I don't even know how that happens. But
00:25:11
man, it would be cool to go to one of those that would be
00:25:14
great, But I don't know, and maybe I'll find out. Maybe that's
00:25:18
something I'll do in the future if if it. You asked if there were
00:25:22
any drawbacks that I've seen so far. I texted, texted so many people.
00:25:25
God, I love my friends, and you texted me during the debate
00:25:27
and all and then the one liners and all that stuff. I love it.
00:25:30
The only thing I do not like is the delegates. The people that
00:25:34
are in the crew are old white women. Yeah, and and the channels
00:25:38
in MESS ANDBC, that's all they focus on. So when when a black
00:25:42
person is up there and they did it bang bang bang. One was Robinson,
00:25:47
one was Wesley Hunt, and one was this guy from Michigan that was
00:25:49
fantastic. Yeah, this guy, I can't remember his name right now.
00:25:56
But so the live stream they would show black people in the crowd. ABC
00:26:00
never cut. It's always the whacto old woman that has a cowboy at on.
00:26:07
That's right, you know what I mean. They're trying so hard to
00:26:08
label us that way. And I just wondered, after Trump in ten years,
00:26:11
what's that crowd going to look like. Yeah, he's changed everything.
00:26:15
Oh, he's changed everything. And that's what you texted another great speech or
00:26:18
something like that, and I texted back, this is what Donald Trump has
00:26:22
brought us. Yeah, dude, do you remember how stale we were in
00:26:25
the mid two thousand. Yeah, Well you mentioned before, like Gates coming
00:26:29
up to McCarthy. Yeah, did you see what he told McCarthy. Yeah,
00:26:33
they'll boot you off stage. Yeah, you're not welcome here. You're
00:26:37
not welcome. Right, And on the way here, Charlie Kirk just said,
00:26:41
here's the people I'm going to rattle off that are not welcome here.
00:26:44
Because he was talking about the subject of kevimccarthy. He said, Paul right,
00:26:48
Paul Ryan, he said, Mitt Romney, met Romney, and then
00:26:52
he even said John he said, I hate to say, George W.
00:26:56
Bush. He said, they're not they're not. Well, this is not
00:27:00
their party anymore. He's taken over and that is what they've tried to stop.
00:27:03
Yeah, but dude, I'm excited about it. All right. Speaking
00:27:07
of negative we'll get over to eighty million, life, liberty, happiness,
00:27:15
eighty million. Come on man with Brian Fly Wait, truth over facts,
00:27:22
all right, got a little clip of U. There is another candidate in
00:27:26
this race, by the way, sleepy Joe. Oh yeah, yeah,
00:27:30
I was still out there just spinning like crazy, scratching and clawing to keep
00:27:34
power. He's trying. But even somebody even said last night, as many
00:27:40
interviews as he's tried to do, he still looks bad on though he's awful.
00:27:44
It's terrible, even when they try to make it look like, see
00:27:45
how much stronger he is. Just listen what he said. Somebody even said,
00:27:48
man, you've made lesser Holtz seem like he was pissed off. Yeah,
00:27:52
and he doesn't get mad at all. Yeah, all right, this
00:27:55
is Joe Biden cut too, and we got more to do. And you
00:28:00
know, Donald Trump, I think is I said from the beginning when I
00:28:03
ran in twenty twenty that he was a He's a real danger to the country,
00:28:10
to a democracy. But I didn't play that because when I in twenty
00:28:15
twenty, when I like when broadcasts me vice president, I joined him,
00:28:21
which is a great honor. But after that I became a professor at the
00:28:26
University of Pennsylvania. What he talking about, he's gone and he's lost all
00:28:33
his faculties. For them to act like they're surprised, yeah, you know,
00:28:37
even the guy that was interviewing him for this. Yeah, he put
00:28:41
his head down when he said in twenty twenty, I ran as Barack Obama's
00:28:45
vice president. Yeah, the guy just put his head down, like,
00:28:48
dude, I can't help you. Well, what irritates me more is if
00:28:53
Donald Trump was in front of Leslie Stall and he says something factual, she
00:28:57
still says, oh, come on, you know what I mean, like
00:29:00
she challenges him. Yeah, no, Lester Holt, I mean, okay,
00:29:03
his demeanor is a nice guy. Right. However, when Biden tells
00:29:07
you, why aren't you going after the twenty four or twenty eight lies that
00:29:11
he said a debate, well, then follow it up. Okay, sir?
00:29:15
Which one did he lie on? But then he says, this is
00:29:18
a man who says he's going to be a dictator on day one and he's
00:29:22
gonna there's gonna be a blood bath. Both of those stories, Lester Holt
00:29:25
knows, is false. Okay, the blood bath was about economics. It's
00:29:30
going to be a carse in Mexico. They're going it's gonna be a blood
00:29:33
bath if I don't win. It wasn't January six, bullshit, No,
00:29:37
I know. And then the other one was being a dictator for on day
00:29:41
one. He told Hannity when Hannity said, sir, you're going to be
00:29:45
a dictator, like a joke, and he goes, no, I'm not
00:29:48
gonna be a dictator. I'll be a dictator on day one to build a
00:29:49
wall. Yeah, okay, you're lying, and they let him lie.
00:29:56
Yeah, all right. The next segment will be with our special guest,

00:31:11
Welcome to the program, Kent. Thank you, Brian. I'm excited
00:31:14
about having your own not for the reasons of it for but I I just
00:31:18
you were the first person I thought of. I was coming back from the
00:31:23
beach and I was like, oh man, I need to talk to Ken
00:31:26
about this because everybody's got all these questions and I'm like, you know what,
00:31:30
I don't want to hear Jesse Waters tell me about you know something I
00:31:34
want to I want to hear from people that know. So I'm so excited
00:31:38
that you're here. Let's dabble into it a little bit. Your background you
00:31:44
have worked on from different aspects, uh where they're where they're details with secret
00:31:51
Service, Right, give me a little bit of background of what you've done
00:31:55
in the past, and then we'll dive into some questions. Well, it's
00:31:59
to start, right. It was, you know two thousand and one June
00:32:01
two thousand and one, Yes, we did. I was a lieutenant then
00:32:05
with the Sheriff's Office and I was in charge of off field operations and tactical
00:32:09
stuff and planning special events. So I was put in charge of President Bush's
00:32:16
visit to D Day, and our work began. You know, they're still
00:32:22
building D Day back then, and our work began probably eight months out.
00:32:27
And that's where I developed a friendship. And I won't mention his name because
00:32:30
he's still in the mix with a secret server, sure, but him and
00:32:35
I became very close friends for eight months in and out. Every time something
00:32:38
changed up there, we were up there and we were mainly concerned about,
00:32:45
you know, the placement. I had one hundred and twenty five law enforcement
00:32:47
assigned to me, from the state police to the Sheriff's office, town police
00:32:53
actually back then, the Game Commission we're a great help and still are today.
00:33:00
But we used every tool in the toolbox that we could. And like
00:33:06
I said, I started with the racking Roanoke and we started pre planning until
00:33:12
the until the advanced team gets there two or three weeks before the visit.
00:33:17
Developed some friendships on that as well, so I basically had to draw up
00:33:22
the plan for all the locals. And what disturbed me the most when I
00:33:28
got that call from my buddy in DC, who is a Secret Service agent.
00:33:30
He was on cat. He had been on uh Trump's detail during while
00:33:37
he was president. Uh. He said, hey, man, you're watching
00:33:39
the news and I was no, uh, and it turned it on.
00:33:44
I was like within two minutes, I was. I told him on that
00:33:47
phone, I said, why did not Why didn't he cover that high ground?
00:33:52
That was a big deal here in Bedford. And I'll say that because
00:33:55
they had They had me put an officer at the fire tower over there,
00:34:00
good reservoir. Yeah you know how far away that? Oh? Yeah,
00:34:02
yeah, because I had taken agents up there the rack and myself had went
00:34:08
up there as well, and you could actually you could have taken a shot
00:34:14
to the overlord if you were that good. So they made me that was
00:34:21
the furthest out high ground that we had to put And we literally went around
00:34:23
that whole place. And even if it was a question if it was high
00:34:28
ground, we put an officer there. There wasn't none of this, well
00:34:31
let's stick them in the building. No, we put them higher as high
00:34:37
as we could so, and I can remember there was some construction trailers there.
00:34:40
We even put them on there. So for our audience, a lot
00:34:45
of these people may not know. So what's great about your position with Bedford
00:34:50
County with emergency management services? A lot of people always ask questions, well,
00:34:53
there was a miscommunication here or the miscommunication there. That's what I like
00:34:58
about Bedford County being sort of pro active because all localities don't have this right.
00:35:02
No, I was, I was very just both of my buddy and
00:35:07
I were just dumbfounded that you have all these briefings and you're told exactly what
00:35:12
to do, and I don't. I still don't understand. It's still an
00:35:15
investigation. I got it because I've heard about the ladder, I've heard about
00:35:19
climbing on the air condition. I've heard about the tack teams. The tack
00:35:22
team assigned to that building was inside the building. I find that hard to
00:35:27
believe. I'm not I'm not saying it didn't happen, and I'm not saying
00:35:30
because we did. Uh. We did have some personnel in the construction trailers,
00:35:37
but there was they were due to respond to the crowd. Uh.
00:35:42
And it was just outside of where everybody sets a D day. But we
00:35:45
still had people on the high ground. Sure. And another thing that the
00:35:50
agent told me was they had they they had cut his staff. I don't
00:35:54
care about the Iranian. He didn't have this the protection that he had early
00:36:01
on. And I know during President Bush's visit, we had three counters sniper
00:36:10
teams and they were placed in the in the very best positions to no uncover
00:36:16
the motor ke coming up the hill, but to cover anything within the crowd.
00:36:22
And then the state police tag team and my tag team covered everything else.
00:36:27
And we knew our field of fire, so to say, we were
00:36:30
responsible for certain areas. So with that said, I think it was only
00:36:35
two sniper teams that I that I've heard of that was on site. That's
00:36:40
not enough for a crowd that big, exactly. And I realized that was
00:36:45
a rural type environment. But man, come on, you only had a
00:36:50
couple of buildings and this slope excuse is We'll get into that. But so
00:36:57
I want to understand, So you have for Bedford County. You're the point
00:37:01
man when all these different agencies are together, right, you have to make
00:37:06
sure that they're all talking the same language. Is that I'm in, I'm
00:37:08
in on these briefings. It might be that like like this past D Day,
00:37:15
give an example, with govern being here. Yeah, so and even
00:37:20
with Pence. That is the town's jurisdiction. Okay, and that's the way
00:37:22
it should back back in the day. Uh, no one would take wanted
00:37:29
that responsibility of planning that. So I stepped up and said, I'll take
00:37:32
it. We'll do it, knowing that I still had to work with the
00:37:36
chief and it's his jurisdiction, and I still gave him opportunity to put his
00:37:40
men where he wanted to put them. This last d Day or Shannon Walker,
00:37:45
we both worked together and it's it was his deal. I'm not going
00:37:47
to reinvent the wheel. He'd already done the Pence visit. We looked at
00:37:52
it. We were preparing for a secret service event. Thank god it didn't
00:37:55
happen, because it's just it's a strain. It's a lot of work and
00:38:00
it's a lot of empire that goes into it, and you have to do
00:38:02
it their way. Sure, they have the call. It's not like,
00:38:06
you know, the sheriff can go, well, you know, I'm gonna
00:38:08
put my guys on over here. Everything on my plan when Bush was here
00:38:13
had to be approved not only by the racking ronook, but the advanced team
00:38:16
supervisor. Now, what's the racking Rono just for regionally, it's a regional
00:38:24
It's like it's a smaller Secret Service office. Okay, they only have like
00:38:28
three or four guys, and they might have more today, but back then
00:38:30
it was only three, I think, and they just they worked their cases
00:38:35
and normally it's counterfeit and then they assist the locals. And you know,
00:38:38
so in Pennsylvania you have you have they know this visit's happening, right,
00:38:45
and so you had local law enforcement and now you have Secret Service. But
00:38:49
everything is Secret Service to point on this absolutely, it's their plan. It's
00:38:54
their absolutely. So that's where the failures happened. So because I've heard Secret
00:39:00
Service blame local and I'm like, all right, somebody has to be at
00:39:04
the top. The thing is the Secret Service might have told the locals to
00:39:09
be that's your building, right, And just like my visit, they can't
00:39:15
cover everything. So I supplemented what they needed to cover, and I didn't
00:39:21
deviate off that plan if they told me I needed. And at the time,
00:39:23
I had thirteen dog teams because it was very heavily wooded up there,
00:39:29
and I had showed them where I'm putting these dogs and they were out of
00:39:32
sight but they were. They were in a way that they could protect that
00:39:36
that layer of protection. We had layers of protection. You had to get
00:39:39
through this to get to that, to get to this, and there's a
00:39:43
point you shouldn't have got to if you had all these layers. But ultimately,
00:39:49
you can't go off from left field sheriff or chief and say you don't
00:39:53
know what's hot. You guys, just stay in here right now. I
00:39:58
just it's hard to comprehend while at least somebody wasn't perched on top of that
00:40:04
building, or they didn't have a sniper team covering that building and watching it
00:40:07
all right, So for your years many years of service that you had in
00:40:12
DC, is the incompetency at the top level. And I don't even know
00:40:19
her name, the director, but just just in the interviews that I've seen
00:40:22
twice, I can't it is it? Is it DEI? What is driving
00:40:30
the incompetency at that level? You've got to have the I think we all
00:40:35
can agree the people that are protecting the president are phenomenal people, absolutely,
00:40:42
but somewhere something got something is going wrong for this to be able to happen
00:40:46
like this. I would just tell you what I was told this is not
00:40:52
necessarily my belief, but it is happening, and I watched it happen in
00:40:57
the agency I just came from. When a director or director walks in and
00:41:00
says, I want thirty thirty percent of my force being females, Yes,
00:41:06
and this is not she said it. She absolutely said it. Absolutely.
00:41:09
Yeah, that's discriminate to every race of gender. Worked hard there, yes,
00:41:15
And it's like the agent told me. I didn't even know that until
00:41:19
he told me, and I got to dig and she did say it,
00:41:21
and I told he told me. He was like, look, I said,
00:41:23
so, we had the problem in my old agency of doing the same
00:41:30
thing. But once we got certain females on the range, they couldn't shoot,
00:41:36
Yes, they couldn't do certain things. And I'll kind of quote I'll
00:41:42
quote him and saying this is not You can't put the JV team up there
00:41:46
for this exactly exactly. I mean, President Bush didn't have got to be
00:41:50
orc team. And I'm not saying he did, But what I'm saying is,
00:41:54
you can't make statements like that and drop the standards. We did,
00:42:00
be honest with you, we didn't we put those females through extra training and
00:42:05
we got them there. Yeah, but we didn't. We didn't push them
00:42:07
through, to push them through just because of their gender or color of their
00:42:10
skin, that's right, And so to me, that's what has hampered you
00:42:20
know, the protectees getting Are they getting the eighteen? Yeah? And I'm
00:42:25
not saying a certain president should be eighteen, another one should be They all
00:42:30
should be eighteen. That's right. Yeah, it's it's the point and the
00:42:34
goal of the task, right, I mean, yes, it's because if
00:42:37
it fails, the worst scenario could happen. I think that's the thing.
00:42:40
We say it all the time. I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often.
00:42:44
And it is a credit to just how phenomenal these agencies are because they get
00:42:51
it right ninety nine point nine percent of the time. Right. But when
00:42:54
this happened the other night, it was so such gross negligce at the point
00:43:00
where even I, who is nowhere near the know that you're in something is
00:43:08
wrong. It's all wrong. I mean, I mean, I keep seeing
00:43:12
videos of them trying to bust through a fence and I'm like, how is
00:43:15
that not already got a general question? So what you just described and it
00:43:22
sounds like a herculean effort. Right, So you had an event and you've
00:43:25
got all that organization and it was eight months before and then two weeks before
00:43:30
other guys show up. That's a coordinated event. And when you think about
00:43:34
the big picture of things, that was your one event. Trump did that
00:43:37
one event, but he had just done something the thursday before, and then
00:43:40
he did something the tuesday. They're doing that every single day. Do they
00:43:44
put that much effort in every single one of those? And could they have
00:43:46
just gotten relaxed because they do it so much? I know, No,
00:43:53
that's what I'm asking. Is it that intent? I mean, that's impressive,
00:43:57
But yeah, when you do most of the those are like they're if
00:44:02
you've done a bunch of them, they're they're all ran the same. Okay,
00:44:08
guys, here's what we got to do. High Ground got this close
00:44:13
off that this person's not you know, get the mags up. It's it's
00:44:16
basically, you know, the same thing at every event. It's not like
00:44:21
a it depends on the amount you're expecting. We were we were planning for
00:44:25
ten thousand to fifteen thousand at D Day. It's always playing and I've heard
00:44:30
what thirty at this Yeah, thirty thousand. I don't know. Sometimes these
00:44:37
these places surprise them, sure, but they plan. They try to plan
00:44:42
for the worst and hope you know that that it's covered it. I think
00:44:47
we're in your and I've worked with these guys. The Cat team. Guys
00:44:52
are all jacked up. Those are the guys that got that that came in.
00:44:54
They did what they were supposed to do with the with the high prierate
00:44:59
rifles and and cover the cover the crowd. Uh, it is very intense
00:45:04
for them. I mean their job is for that man or woman to never
00:45:07
catch a bullet. And that's not like your normal law enforcement where they're focused
00:45:13
on Okay, this is our building and this is all we got to worry
00:45:16
about. Uh. They're all jacked up. Yeah, I mean they're Uh
00:45:22
it's that intense every day every time they go somewhere. It's that kind of
00:45:23
effort because yeah, I would say everything. Yeah, I mean the rack,
00:45:28
the guy, the guy was in charge, was working with me at
00:45:31
D day. He even told me, he goes, this is a great
00:45:34
plan and you've worked very hard on it. Do not get your feelings hurt
00:45:37
when they walk in here and trash it. There's a really good chance in
00:45:40
eighty percent of time they trash it. And the only thing they did do
00:45:44
is they moved our tag teams out from underneath that shower, that restroom area
00:45:50
behind where President Bush was and they put their cat team guys in there.
00:45:53
I didn't I didn't get hurt feelings over that. We moved with the state
00:45:57
team down to the elementary school to cover the protesters and the motor cake coming
00:46:02
up, and then my tag team was over and when the construction trailers off
00:46:07
to the side and we were to respond to a certain area and these type
00:46:10
of things, you do what you're told. You don't go out and left
00:46:15
field. And that's one thing I really enerrated to the one hundred and twenty
00:46:19
five officers working. Yeah, and it all went well, But I don't
00:46:24
know what happened there. There's so many layers, like, yes, it's
00:46:29
just the not I mean, the roof is one thing. If that,
00:46:34
but if that was the only thing, it's not. It's so many they
00:46:37
encountered him thirty minutes. I was going to say that when we had two
00:46:42
that we encountered at D Day. One tried to get into the lower side
00:46:47
there to the right of DDA through the wooded area, and one actually got
00:46:53
off the bus and soon he was acting strange on the bus. That was
00:46:58
communicated we the our team called him between the bus and the MAX and he
00:47:04
was not allowed to come in. If we even had a suspicion or you
00:47:07
were acting, you're not coming in. Period, period, you're not coming
00:47:10
in, and we're going to take you. And we took that guy to
00:47:14
the PD and held him until the event was over with because we didn't know
00:47:16
where to take him or what to do with him. He wasn't from around
00:47:20
here, and we won't turn him loose back even though we had these layers.
00:47:23
And that's another failure that I don't understand that there's so many does so
00:47:30
that we've all seen the video that it seems like the people that seem to
00:47:35
be more worried about a guy on a roof are Trump supporters. And you
00:47:39
can hear them telling cops how kind of a relay would it be even if
00:47:45
it was a local cop, because we don't I don't know who it was
00:47:46
that got told that. How long does it take from that person to know
00:47:50
anything that was just said to the snipers or someone else to know that,
00:47:54
hey, we got something going on. Don't let this man speak. Yeah,
00:47:58
how does the communication happen between you've got state police, you've got uh
00:48:02
Secret Service, you've got police. How does all of that work at this
00:48:06
event? At these events? So we I could talk to everybody, And
00:48:12
that's something that we started a while back, and D Day does it as
00:48:15
of today. Everybody could talk to everybody. That's that's one thing. Now
00:48:20
Secret Service shows up and we fixed their radios so they can least listen or
00:48:25
listen in. And just like the one walking up, you know, getting
00:48:30
off the bus, we knew within as soon as somebody reported it to us.
00:48:37
It wasn't like he was on the roof. They just got off the
00:48:38
bus and said, hey, this guy is acting weird. It was communicated
00:48:43
within a minute we were somebody was on it. So there, I hate
00:48:47
to say there's a delay. I can only imagine what those counter sniper guys
00:48:52
are going through because back during the day when I was, when we worked
00:48:55
with them, because they came in early too. They came in three or
00:48:58
four days early, and I can remember we actually had to put their weapons
00:49:02
in armory and we took all of our keys away and so they could lock
00:49:07
it up overnight and we couldn't get in there because they don't want anybody tampering
00:49:12
with those those weapons. They were already zeroed in that morning. We took
00:49:15
them to a range and zero the man. They didn't want so, but
00:49:19
those guys I told him, I asked them at one point, I said,
00:49:22
so, when do you have to ask for mission to take a shot?
00:49:27
Yeah? Now, it's my understanding that they had to. I don't
00:49:31
know if that, you know, I'm waiting to see the fallout or see
00:49:35
how that goes. But those guys said no, as soon as the threat
00:49:38
pops up and we can identify it not being a police officer, you know,
00:49:43
engaging somebody else, which could happen another sniper team engaged in it,
00:49:47
and then they you know, so no, they they would took him out
00:49:52
immediately. That's a discussion about a stand down, you would think because of
00:49:55
the rum Right now, there's another problem I have. At least, when
00:50:00
once you let so much time happen a rumors start, you've made it worse
00:50:04
for them to not have come out and said there was no stand down.
00:50:07
And then the thing that was leaked to make it sound like there was a
00:50:09
stand down rule like don't shoot that that should not allow to be continued on.
00:50:15
I mean, it's gonna come out. Yeah, we heard eighty second
00:50:19
because we're been the time the officer engaged him up there in the first shot.
00:50:24
Yeah, I keep hearing this eighty seconds that had transpired somewhere in there.
00:50:30
Somebody should have made a decision. That's that's a long time. I
00:50:35
think it is. It's like, hey, we got a gallon the roof
00:50:37
of the rifle. Uh yeah, and they're just waiting for him to talk.
00:50:40
But that's the thing. If you hear that alone, Yeah, yeah,
00:50:45
why isn't Trump off the stage? Then? That that too? Yeah?
00:50:49
That that? I mean, why would we even take it a chance?
00:50:52
I mean, yeah, I got too. There's so many things.
00:50:55
I mean, but I'm like you when you're not. She's done this and
00:51:00
all she did was make it worse. I mean, saying that someone couldn't
00:51:05
get up there because of a slope, I'm just I'm even. I mean,
00:51:08
even the dumbest people know that that's not true. No, They're they're
00:51:13
trained to be on slopes, upside down, hanging from whatever. I mean,
00:51:16
the guys I had up here, you know how slope. It is
00:51:20
up there. Yeah, I mean the first team coming up the hill there,
00:51:22
they're on that slope. That's that's coming back down in elementary school.
00:51:28
You've got to operate in all those positions. I can't. I don't.
00:51:31
I can't figure out why she's I can't figure out a lot of things.
00:51:36
And even if you said you wan't going to have someone on the rouse,
00:51:37
you can't have someone standing around the building, right. You can't have multiple
00:51:42
people stand around a building that you decided you couldn't get up on the roof
00:51:44
of. I don't understand it. Everybody shouldn't shouldn't Like with our visit,
00:51:49
everybody knew their responsibilities. There is no question, no doubt. If I
00:51:52
put you, Brian on on watching elementary school that front door, that's what
00:51:58
you do. Yes, that is your response. There's no pea breaks,
00:52:00
there's no you're not You're not leaving your pope. Now does your dad saying
00:52:05
to me hunting all the time, you don't leave your mo? So so
00:52:08
the cop and then these are rumors here so I don't know what them,
00:52:12
and you guys may know I have known more about the story than I do.
00:52:15
But the guy that heard about it. So he went up and and
00:52:19
may have saved Trump's life because he made him point and and the guy being
00:52:22
hurry. Yeah. So so a cop can climb a roof and then see
00:52:29
him and then come back down or fall down, but he doesn't have anybody
00:52:32
else with him. I don't that that part. I don't understand either.
00:52:36
Well, And I think I heard today that there was an actually another officer
00:52:39
that was helping him up up there. Why didn't you just if he had
00:52:44
a ladder. I've heard a ladder of her air condition. Why didn't just
00:52:47
use his ladder? Yeah? That the first thing I thought when I heard
00:52:52
that, When I heard the officer saw him and Gage was Evaldi, That's
00:52:57
what I thought. I mean, I was like, do we have to
00:52:59
go through this again? These police are top engage. I thought he was
00:53:05
just trying to duck for cover until he could to his web. Now.
00:53:08
Yeah, but because I thought of this, I thought he fell. I
00:53:13
mean, if I know, to me, I would hope if somebody saw
00:53:15
anybody with a gun out there, they would be up on the roof no
00:53:19
matter what. Oh, well, I think it's an engaged police. Don't
00:53:21
move, please drop your weapon and the next thing if he doesn't is a
00:53:24
is a nogging shot? Yeah, sorry, just like I don't. I
00:53:28
don't this this thing of us waiting anymore or negotiating. And when he's standing,
00:53:32
I mean, you know they had to shooting outside of the Republican Convention.
00:53:37
It's obvious when you see the video. The guy was lunging at the
00:53:40
other guy with a knife. Yes, that's absolutely you're gonna get You're gonna
00:53:44
get shot. After the police officers are screaming drop it, you know,
00:53:46
so uh good for them. You engage and you know, I'm sorry what
00:53:52
you don't listen, This is what happens, is not abuse or anything.
00:53:55
I would like to go back to one thing. So when when she talks
00:54:00
about the thirty percent females, I'll tell you a little story. A lot
00:54:04
not a lot of people know, but when we first took office with Mike
00:54:07
Brown, the Sheriff's office, there were no females. None. And I
00:54:12
was the first one to step up and said, you know, Sheriff,
00:54:14
we've got to go find at least five qualified females and put one on each
00:54:20
shift. We have female problems. They're going to run into female problems.
00:54:22
I don't want the male officer to get in trouble exactly. So it took
00:54:27
me about a year, but I will tell you this, I didn't lower
00:54:31
any standards. They had to do the same thing. They had to shoot
00:54:35
the same scores, and we fought through it. And you know, off
00:54:38
five of those females, there's one still there and two of them's retired and
00:54:44
one's working from another agency, so they're still in the ballgame where they played
00:54:46
it out. Those were five really good, solid females. And you can
00:54:51
do it if you just work with them. You don't have to lower the
00:54:54
standards. And at a certain point, if they can't do it, you
00:54:59
have to have that tal And I've had to talk with the federal female agents.
00:55:02
Yeah, we've done everything we can. Well. I so appreciate you
00:55:07
coming in today and you've cleared up some things that I questions that I had,
00:55:10
and I'm so grateful that you were able to come in. But before
00:55:14
you leave, I want to touch on something that I'm just curious about.
00:55:20
How does Bedford County in the Bedford area, what's the connection there, because
00:55:24
we seem to we seem to have people like yourself that end up in d
00:55:30
C somehow or I mean just recent the name is uh, the one that's
00:55:36
on Governor Younkin's detail. Oh yeah, yeah, is there a connection that
00:55:45
it's just I don't I don't know if it's a it's a it's a path
00:55:51
that God has put you on. I'm gonna bring that up because I had
00:55:53
no intentions when I went in with Mike Brown of ever leaving right he was
00:55:58
bringing me to be sheriff. And when I was involved in nine to eleven
00:56:02
and my buddy from the Secret Service, a bunch of them that I met
00:56:07
at D Day during that visit had moved over to Homeland Security. They started
00:56:10
the recruiting process and that's how I got the call, Hey, we need
00:56:15
somebody with your experience to come to d C and play that supervisor's role because
00:56:20
we're not getting this, We're not getting the experience we want. And you
00:56:23
know, and I had a long talk with Mike Brown about it, and
00:56:27
you know, he came from the FEDS, so he was retired atf and
00:56:31
he said, hey, look, this is an opportunity. You'll never get
00:56:34
it ever again. And they waved my age. You have to be thirty
00:56:37
seven going to the academy I was thirty eight. There's a lot of things
00:56:40
that they waved for a bunch of It's not only me, just to get
00:56:45
what they wanted in there. And it's just one of those things where it
00:56:52
kind of fell on my lap. But I also had the support of my
00:56:53
boss, and which sometimes that doesn't happen. You know what, really,
00:57:00
you know, what does it take to keep you here? It's usually what
00:57:01
you hear, and I didn't hear that from him, like, go get
00:57:05
your federal experience. It's a great opportunity, and it ended up being a
00:57:08
great opportunity. So did you enjoy your time with the federal Uh? Now,
00:57:16
it's a when you're working with retired Secret Service guys. They have their
00:57:22
way, so you had to learn their way and that was a little bit
00:57:23
of a tough road at first. But after I pulled my two years of
00:57:29
so called you know, on the street and work working the grunt side of
00:57:32
it, I was offered opportunity to go to the Joint Tears and Task Force
00:57:36
in Richmond and work there for three years and work terrorism for eighty nine jurisdictions
00:57:40
and Virginia, and I thoroughly even though it was going back on the street
00:57:46
and working cases. I thoroughly enjoyed. Uh. I think we've talked about
00:57:51
this before I was assigned to the FBI, and you know, that's a
00:57:53
bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. But I will tell you this
00:57:57
that working at that level, those people aren't like that. These are well.
00:58:01
That was my question is is the politics at the top level everybody else
00:58:07
just works hard like normal, Yes, especially kind out of a political appointee
00:58:10
like at that time, the Homeland Security Secretary was a political appointee. The
00:58:15
TSA director was a political appointee. And they're either attorneys or there's somebody's buddy.
00:58:22
They've never done the work. Uh, you know, so it's just
00:58:27
it's frustrating, and then they bring their cronies in and then it just starts.
00:58:31
It makes it so frustrating with you know, I still talk to my
00:58:36
old FBI boss. They're they're retired on the beach down there. And one
00:58:38
was an assistant director to Comy and he couldn't stand a guy when he worked
00:58:42
for him because he was an attorney versus a an FBI guy that's worked his
00:58:46
way through through the rank. And it's just it's sad when you're sitting there
00:58:52
scratching your head about all these fives of courts and everything. And I've been
00:58:54
involved in fives of courts. I've been invioved in wire tapping, and the
00:58:59
stuff I had to go through to get that is unbelievable. Yeah, I
00:59:01
mean it's it's and they're on you every week making sure that you're not violating
00:59:06
somebody's rights. And that's when when I first heard about all those violations,
00:59:10
I was like, how does this happen? It doesn't happen at that grunt
00:59:15
level, at that you know, the first line supervisor level. Oh my
00:59:17
god. Yeah, again, thank you so much, appreciate it, and
00:59:22
I'm so glad that Bedford County has that resource in you. So I appreciate
00:59:27
it again. I hope to have you back on the program for better circumstances,
00:59:30
or how about when we find out more about what went on as it
00:59:34
came back and oh yeah, I love to have you back. And if
00:59:36
you want to talk about emergency management, this is the first time that they've
00:59:38
taken this out of the fire department and actually made a standalone which needed to
00:59:43
be done as a full time position. And I've been drinking from a fire
00:59:46
hoset since last June. It's just it's one of those things. It's every
00:59:51
day just trying to catch up with what's supposed to be done. Perfect but
00:59:54
absolutely all right, Thank you, well, appreciate it. That's our number
00:59:58
one. We will see you on the back, so our number two.
01:00:15
If tomorrow all the things were gone, I'd work for all my life and
01:00:22
I had to start again with just my children and my wife. I thank
01:00:30
my lucky stars to be living here in a day because the flag still stands
01:00:37
for freedom and they can't take that away. And I'm proud to be an
01:00:46
American where at leastando I'm free, and I won't forget the men who died
01:00:55
who gave that right to me. And I gladly leapt to you and defend
01:01:04
herste today because there ra'ted no doubt. I love this wand God bless the
01:01:13
US. From the lakes of Minnesota to the hills of Tennessee, across the
01:01:35

01:03:19
Hey, we're getting over time for this right, Oh man? We gotta
01:03:31
went on for another hour. Yeah, definitely that was awesome. We appreciate
01:03:36
uh Kent Ruby from for coming in and uh speaking about that. And I
01:03:40
can't, like you said, we should have him back on the kind of
01:03:44
as this thing starts to trickle down and we get maybe we get answers.
01:03:46
I don't. I have a zero confidence that we'll get any answers whatsoever.
01:03:51
It just it just bothers me that, Like you know, I love avec
01:03:57
right and he had the word truth. We're just smart enough. Just tell
01:04:00
us what it is to stop making it sound like we can't know. And
01:04:03
if you failed, you failed, ye like I can swallow that, right,
01:04:08
Yeah, somebody needs to be fired. Nobody gets fired, right if
01:04:11
you like you you brought up the point this isn't his only event. Yeah,
01:04:15
there's another event and another event and another event. And if you just
01:04:18
said, look, we were up on schedule, you know that we're down
01:04:24
agents we don't have. We're trying our best. This should have never happened.
01:04:29
Yeah. Yeah, we're gonna find out how and why it happened,
01:04:31
and we're gonna give you details every step of the way. That's none of
01:04:34
that happened, dude. We're finding out that the damn that there they're setup
01:04:40
was in the building like where they originated from. It was inside that same
01:04:45
building. That's what I don't understand. I mean, when we were up
01:04:46
at D Day and what he filmed it all, I mean Kent and they
01:04:51
had a command center and you had it's like they you know, they not
01:04:57
only were protecting, they knew the weather. And I remember because we had
01:05:00
a officer beside us where our location was and he said Hey, we've got
01:05:05
weather coming in, just letting y'all know we're going to be moving things along
01:05:10
here quickly. So I kind of knew what was going on there, and
01:05:14
I did. I got my I left early, and as soon as I
01:05:16
got my truck had started pouring down right. I was like, thank god,
01:05:19
I got that heads up. It's not like they're going to say anything
01:05:23
that we don't already know. I mean, you know, it's not going
01:05:25
to be like, well, we can't say because we would let out our
01:05:28
means and methods. We all know that that's what they do. I'm going
01:05:30
to tell a quick story and I hope won't get me in trouble. Yeah,
01:05:34
whatever it does tell them. When I was at Wiley Wilson, we
01:05:40
had I did the security clearance right, and one of the things you had
01:05:45
to go through was training, and two FBI agents come down and do your
01:05:48
training. Well, the first thing they tell you in training for classified information
01:05:55
is if it ain't got anything to do with your job, don't ask,
01:05:59
and don't don't even get near any other information. Just stay away from it.
01:06:03
You don't need to know. Well, then we spend the next hour
01:06:06
watching a video of things I don't need to know. Yeah, being talked
01:06:12
by two FBI agents and they're showing us. They're going over how important all
01:06:18
of this stuff is, right, and they went over every detail of how
01:06:24
a president is protected. I don't need to know this, and they tell
01:06:29
you how important the information is. You can never let it out of your
01:06:33
sight. Right. We finish our training. Those guys leave and I get
01:06:41
a phone my cubicles beside Driscoll's cubicle, and I get a phone call from
01:06:47
Ashwell and he says, y'all won't believe this. The two FBI agents are
01:06:53
on the way back. They left the tape in the VCR, the tape
01:06:57
that explains everything, and I'm like, oh my god, And I mean,
01:07:01
it's just it's one of those things where why are you showing me?
01:07:05
Yeah, but it is very impressive. He's right, this stuff doesn't happen.
01:07:11
That is what they said. It takes weeks and months to plan a
01:07:15
visit. And the guy even said, imagine there may be four visits a
01:07:18
day. So that's how many agents we have to have. Anybody that's ever
01:07:25
a hunted would know that. Every time you go to hunt, how far
01:07:29
do we shoot? Just a personal rifle, not an AK now whatever,
01:07:31
it's a one hundred yards, you're starting at a hundred yeah, right,
01:07:34
and then once you yeah, you got anything like that, But six hundred
01:07:39
yards is not I've seen a deer killed at six hundred yards, right,
01:07:42
Joe Corby is incredible. Now you should at least I mean, there shouldn't
01:07:49
be a building that's within six hundred shouldn't a thousand yards? You shouldn't be
01:07:54
like when he mentioned the fire tower that was so impressive that they had to
01:07:57
have somebody up that high. How you would have somebody? And then like
01:08:00
the water tower. There's a water tower nearby, nobody's no one in there.
01:08:03
Yeah, you know there's a there's a congressman from Texas that I saw
01:08:09
on a news program that said we need to investigate to find out if this
01:08:14
was done on purpose. And the anchor lady kept cutting them off, and
01:08:18
she said, you can't say that way. I'm gonna let you say that,
01:08:21
and he goes, if it's an investigation, you go as far as
01:08:24
you have to to investigate, absolutely, right, So why wouldn't you say
01:08:28
that? And guess what the other side is saying right now? Literally,
01:08:30
I've seen it twice today that it wasn't a real bullet, that he really
01:08:34
didn't get hit. Oh my god, that he literally faked the blood.
01:08:38
So that's what I'm saying. You're getting all kinds of people now, yeah,
01:08:41
coming and saying these things again. You can clear it all up.
01:08:44
Yeah, you bring them all into Congress on Monday, and let's start have
01:08:46
it right in front of everybody. You could have done the next day you
01:08:49
had somebody there and said everything that they did. I guess did they not
01:08:54
do it because of fear lawsuits? But I mean you couldn't get lawsuits now
01:08:58
anyway? Yeah, exactly, people die. It's going to get worse because
01:09:01
you haven't correct. It's just, yes, the inetness, if that's the
01:09:06
right word, it's sickening. It makes you wonder, Like I said,
01:09:14
if you want to point out the failures of Joe Biden, start there.
01:09:16
Yeah, why is she still in command? Right, Joe? She's still
01:09:23
in command of you? Even louder? Is you lying so ob faker that
01:09:30
you waited till Trump got shot before you would give Kennedy any kind of Oh
01:09:35
god, how long have we been talking about? Yes, yes, you're
01:09:40
only doing it now because of the politics of it. How are you not
01:09:43
smart enough that we're smart enough to know the guy's last name? Right?
01:09:46
I guess what I'm saying is, you're as a president, you have failed
01:09:50
so badly that the person who's in charge of keeping you safe failed and you
01:09:57
still have not fired that person. She's still in charge of you being safe.
01:10:01
Might make you think a little bit. And guess who she grew up
01:10:05
trying to protect? How she moved up. Do you know who the first
01:10:09
person was she was hired to protect? Because she came to the Secret Service?
01:10:14
Dick Cheney Ore Cheney's big fans. No, no, And how have
01:10:18
allowed that to manifest? Somebody's going to start asking that question. Well,
01:10:23
somebody asked me the question today and I thought it was very interesting and we'll
01:10:27
get to our top ten here quickly. Yeah, but somebody asked me the
01:10:30
question, Okay, if they wanted this to happen, how do you convince
01:10:35
that boy to do it right? That was the question that was asked.
01:10:40
That's the hardest part for me to get my arms around. It was for
01:10:43
me until until the video comes out of him being in the Blackrock commercial,
01:10:47
and then you start to go, why is he of all people in a
01:10:51
black crock commercial. Yeah, and then when you start to look at obviously
01:10:57
they've got a shady past. By the way, he's not in a Bank
01:11:00
of America commercial. He's in a black rock commercial. To make it sound
01:11:03
like everybody goes he's a registered Republican. Stop. I would like to know
01:11:06
if that state it is that state that you have to vote in the primary,
01:11:12
and if you didn't like Trump, yes, you could go into the
01:11:15
primary it is and vote the other guy. That is that? So that's
01:11:17
why you would do it? Of course, why does nobody ever say that?
01:11:19
Because the truth? Yes, come on, stop this bullshit. Did
01:11:24
you see him screaming if it's him at the Trump table? Yes, outside
01:11:29
of I don't know where they were. What he brought up a great point.
01:11:31
He doesn't have a Facebook presence. Come on, yeah, twenty year
01:11:35
old doesn't have a Facebook present, instant in the presence, nothing, nothing,
01:11:40
y'all. We couldn't get in his phones. Come on, y'all can
01:11:44
check my cash app right now? Yeah? Who I've paid in cash app?
01:11:48
But you can't. You can't break into his phone, all right.
01:11:51
Today's Top ten is moments we remember, and this is one of those moments.
01:11:56
I actually had it as my well, we'll get to that anyway,
01:12:00
till now your top ten for the week, she's more like a five.
01:12:18
I feel like having a Hooli skirt on. There's torches. I like that
01:12:24
being able to get the latest news. I just got a tweet from Meghan
01:12:28
Kelly. Not I, but it's a tweet and it says Trump campaign responds
01:12:38
to vice presidential debate. We don't know who the Democrat nominee for vice president's
01:12:44
going to be yet, so we can't commit to a vice presidential debate.
01:12:46
Yeah, that's a great response that that had the same thing because they asked
01:12:50
him if he's how will jd Van, since he knew him in college,
01:12:56
is going to do against Kamala and he says, well, it's not just
01:13:00
assume that that's who he's going to be debated exactly, he said, but
01:13:02
if it is her, he'll mop the floor with her. I thought it
01:13:05
was awesome, all right, Number ten. You know much about Jdance?
01:13:11
I'm learning? Yeah, I don't know anything. Like I haven't been watching
01:13:14
Fox because of what they did to Tuckers. Are really or not brit Hume,
01:13:16
whom I'm a fan, and I know a lot of people aren't.
01:13:21
But his response to JD Vance was, I just find it a little,
01:13:29
you know, concerning that he would pick someone with no experience, And immediately,
01:13:34
it's amazing what comes to my brain Immediately I said, Yes, Barack
01:13:39
Obama had plenty of experience. Yeah, I mean, what are you talking
01:13:44
about, Like, if you're going to say something, at least say something
01:13:46
such substantive. But to say he chose somebody with no experience, first of
01:13:51
all, he had the exact amount of experience as Barack Obama, and that
01:13:57
dude was president, not vice president. Yeah, so shut up, Brett,
01:14:01
you wish you could be on life, liberty, happiness. I'm a
01:14:03
little worried about the the potential romney ish in my mind, I'm a little
01:14:11
worried about that now. I mean, you you, I mean, you
01:14:13
can tell me I'm wrong. I just what are you worried about? Okay,
01:14:15
So he once caught himself an another trumper. I know he's explained that,
01:14:19
but I hear Vivek say that they used to get in some real squabbles
01:14:23
back in the day. I like the stuff of Avexa. So I don't
01:14:26
know if I'm gonna like everything that JD. Van says. I'm okay with
01:14:28
that. It doesn't matter. I'm still going to vote for him. I'm
01:14:30
confident. Yeah. But his wife was also on the staff of the Supreme
01:14:33
Court of all the Justices. Which justice do you think she was with?
01:14:38
Exactly? So she's she wasn't Wiskelita, she wasn't with Clarence Thomas. I
01:14:43
just worry a little bit. I got my Mitt Romney radar Paul Ryan,
01:14:47
because I've been fooled by the betist. That's right. So he's got my
01:14:50
worries. Yeah, yeah, worried enough that you won't vote for Oh well,
01:14:56
no, they get ship on the floor. Dude. I laughed so
01:14:58
hard when you sent me the picture of Trump Pence with the they just take
01:15:03
out the P and the E and I had the V and the A.
01:15:06
That's woody, that's what That's whatdy marketing right there, ex Media Squash,
01:15:14
the media Squawk. That's it. Hey, that's actually a nice I'm here
01:15:19
for you. That's hey, that's the name of your new show, Media
01:15:23
Squawk. All right, all right, I did all right. I put
01:15:28
actually where I was when these things happened. Yeah, I was at my
01:15:32
cousin's house in Lee County, Virginia. Never we'll forget this. Jamie and
01:15:36
I can't remember the brothers, Hank, Hank and Jamie, Lee County,
01:15:41
Virginia. We were out playing and came inside in the Princess uh die In.
01:15:45
Charles wedding was going on, and it was on every channel and everybody
01:15:50
was glued to it. I was a kid, but it was a massive
01:15:54
deal, I guess because Charles was getting married. I kind of remember that.
01:15:59
Yeah, so that's I do remember that. I heard it heard.
01:16:01
Dust being one is kind of one you can sort of put on this list.
01:16:04
Do you remember when she got killed? Yes, I do, but
01:16:09
I couldn't remember where I was, and so I really I kept it to
01:16:13
I gotta remember where I was in Frederick. I was in Fredericksburg at my
01:16:16
great uncle's house with my dad and my brother when the Bill Buckner missed ball
01:16:23
between the legs happened and the Mets one. Yeah. I remember that because
01:16:27
I was I was a massive Mets fan because back then the Mets were here
01:16:31
in Lynchburg, the Lynchburg Mets, so all of those a lot of those
01:16:34
stars were were part of that team. So I actually knew them, which
01:16:40
was which was great. But yeah, I was so scared that they were
01:16:43
going to lose uh number eight miss masked fifth grade. We were watching it
01:16:48
live when the Challenger exploded. Yeah, I just remember that. That's that's
01:16:54
on my list too. Obviously special explosion. But how come how come the
01:16:57
other one isn't as big? You know? When I don't remember the one
01:17:00
when the so Challengers one exploded, right, yes, Columbia or Enterprise,
01:17:05
the one that came back into Earth and it split up over Texas and all
01:17:10
the astronauts died on that one. Yeah, see, I don't remember that
01:17:13
one. See, that's when I was something to clear across Texas. I
01:17:15
mean, part of the plane was at one end of Texas and the other
01:17:19
part was at the far other end. Good about that one. I was
01:17:25
leaving Highland County, staying at the river with my wife and daughter, and
01:17:32
at the time on Capari I don't think was there, but we stayed at
01:17:38
the river that weekend and so as you know, being at the river at
01:17:42
that time, there was no TV and no cell phone. Yeah, And
01:17:45
so we were coming back through Covington and we stopped to get something to eat
01:17:49
and everywhere was closed. And we found this one place and when we went
01:17:54
in, the lady said, you know, after you, we have to
01:17:58
close. Their doors were actually not supposed to be open. And I'm like,
01:18:00
what are you talking about? And they were like, oh, dude,
01:18:02
to COVID man, everything is locked down. And I had no idea
01:18:05
what they were talking about, because when we left they were still finding cases
01:18:11
and then all of a sudden, everything is locked down. I'm like,
01:18:15
what do you mean. They're like, yeah, you're not gonna get anywhere
01:18:17
open, and I'm like, that was when I found out about the COVID
01:18:21
lockdown. It was coming back from island. Yeah, maybe want to go
01:18:25
back to Holland we stay away from all this crap. And heck, I
01:18:32
now thinking about it, dude, it was a long time before there was
01:18:34
a case in holand I remember remember how cases popped up different places. Jeez.
01:18:43
Number six. I was at my father's girlfriend now that my mom and
01:18:46
dad had divorced. In my dad, I was at my father's girlfriend's house
01:18:51
when the Gulf War broke out. Do you remember that? Yeah? I
01:18:57
woke up to the Saudi's was it the no? Not? The saw?
01:19:00
Is the iraqis putting their hands up. I mean there were no shots fired
01:19:05
and they were giving up. Remember. Uh so I was there, Brad
01:19:09
and I were at Martinsville. Oh wow, Okay, I was at my
01:19:15
buddy's house. When we woke up the next morning and saw that Lynn Bias
01:19:17
had died, I thought that was gonna be on my list, not on
01:19:19
yours. It was on mine too. I was devastated, me too,
01:19:23
because I was such a massive ACC fan. Yeah, it didn't matter Mark
01:19:29
Price, it didn't matter. I mean, I love Duke, but I
01:19:31
mean those that Maybe it's like that now, but back then, I didn't
01:19:38
even want to go out and play basketball. I remember, Deal is so
01:19:41
good, and I just was devastated because it was exciting that he went to
01:19:45
the Celtics. Oh. I hated that too, because I hated the Celtics.
01:19:48
So you a different thought than I did. No, No, I
01:19:50
was a Lakers. I liked the Lakers. I didn't, but I was
01:19:55
such a Lynn Bias fan. I wanted to see him play for the Celtics.
01:19:58
Yeah number four. Yeah. I was at Dustin's house. And you
01:20:03
know who Dustin is, my cousin Dustin. We were at his house for
01:20:08
the Dale earned heart when he lost his life the Daytona five hundred. That
01:20:12
was number two on my list. That was man, that was eerie.
01:20:16
Yeah, it was really eerie. Number three celebrating the election win, my
01:20:24
election win in twenty sixteen when they announced Donald Trump would be the next president.
01:20:30
It was so cool. That was such a cool night, man,
01:20:32
Yeah, because I was part of an election. It was the neatest thing,
01:20:36
you know. I was like, oh my god, I just got
01:20:39
elected. You helped carry him across. Yeah, that's Bedford. You know,
01:20:43
we got him over the hump. He didn't win in Virginia badly.
01:20:46
It's gonna change this time. Yeah, do you believe that? Man,
01:20:50
if we could get Hong Cow God, Oh how cool would that be?
01:20:55
He was so good man. Yeah, I just hope that guy Kyle.
01:20:59
When you look at that dude, you thought military mm hm, I mean
01:21:01
you thought this dude's a badass. Yeah, him against Tim Kaine and they
01:21:05
should just stand on it next to one another. Week. I love them
01:21:09
when they say week because that is what he is. Yeah. I'm just
01:21:11
a weak person, all right. Number two. I was in my little
01:21:15
apartment off Dearborn Road in Lynchburg when the Bronco Chase happened with OJ Simpsons.
01:21:21
Oh yeah, I remember that, dude. Everybody was glued to the TV.
01:21:28
Uh. I was installing HVAC by number one. Yeah, I was
01:21:33
downtown. It was a summer job. I picked up with Dustin and my
01:21:36
brother and we were installing HVAC and we all were together on a house downtown
01:21:41
Lynchburg and we had just come out of a cross space and the tenant who
01:21:46
lived in the house had it on the TV and he's like, man,
01:21:49
they just had a plane or something running going to the building, and so
01:21:54
we're watching it live when the other plane hit yeah, and it was like,
01:21:58
oh, that in an accident. Yeah, and that's when it hit
01:22:01
us. So nine to eleven, I was at I was working, and
01:22:06
my one A was I was at the beach lot watching live when Trump was
01:22:10
shot here. Yeah recently, you know, I had that down. I
01:22:15
had Trump at six only because he lived. Obviously it would be number one
01:22:21
through ten probably if the worst had happened. I mean, I don't I
01:22:26
don't even know if I could have gone out of a depression, if that
01:22:29
had actually happened, if that would have been successful, I don't know what
01:22:33
I would feel like. Yeah, well months long, I don't I am.
01:22:39
I will say this. I'm tired of people saying he missed, he
01:22:42
didn't miss right, he had the headshot. Yeah, if Trump doesn't turn,
01:22:47
it's the kid didn't miss right. But people say that, well,
01:22:51
the kid missed, No he didn't. Yeah, exactly. Oh so in
01:22:57
my list I've got, I'll just go. If we got Carolina Kevin Colin
01:23:00
today, I don't know what time, Let me check, let me know
01:23:03
if he is, if he is. But man, I remember being at
01:23:09
Wiley Wilson and working when the bomb went off in Oklahoma. Do you remember
01:23:14
the building, the bomb and McVeigh, Yeah, yeah, I do,
01:23:18
but I don't remember where I was. Okay, So here's one that I
01:23:23
wanted to add to the list that I personally obviously did not witness because it
01:23:27
happened. But fifty years later, I'm in Fort Worth, Texas, and
01:23:34
I wanted to go see where Kennedy was shot. Did you get to see
01:23:39
it? Yeah? So I went. So I got on a train and
01:23:42
we went out and we saw it where it was shot. First off,
01:23:45
I was shocked at what it like. If it was in Virginia. It
01:23:46
would have been a monument, right, it would have been. It's still
01:23:49
a traffic light, it's still people running over it. They literally put two
01:23:53
painted x's on the street of where he was shot. The only thing that's
01:23:57
closed down is you can't get up into the seventh bindsor it's closed. And
01:24:01
then there's a museum across the street. It's literally you have to wait for
01:24:04
traffic. But I had to walk across the street. That's how the there
01:24:09
and everything. The Nole was there. You can see all that. I
01:24:11
mean, there's no there's very little that you would even know if you didn't
01:24:14
know the history. And I go in there and there is a woman bawling
01:24:19
in the museum. She was that struck by This is fifty years later.
01:24:25
She was older than me, much older than I was, But being in
01:24:29
the museum, it just made me realize how powerful that day must have been
01:24:31
for many people. Crazy number eight Rush Limbaugh saying goodbye on the radio.
01:24:39
Man, I just even more so than his death, how shocked because I
01:24:43
listened to him every day. I was not expecting that to come on.
01:24:45
I'm not every day, but every time I was in the car and I
01:24:48
was like man, I was listening. I was devastated by that Magic Johnson.
01:24:51
I was a VMI in my room, just listening to the radio when
01:24:56
Magic Johnson announced that he had AIDS and that yeah, because you thought it
01:25:01
was yeah, yeah, and he's going to die. Yeah, that's right.
01:25:04
That's like nineteen ninety or ninety one or somewhere in there. And then
01:25:10
I had Trump, had the Space Shuttle, had Lynn bias. But I
01:25:14
cannot believe in your top ten Reagan being shot. Maybe you were too young.
01:25:16
I was just a little too young, Okay, Yeah, but I
01:25:19
remember coming home from school and that news being on TV, and that's I
01:25:26
do remember Reagan being shot. How bad that was. So that's it,
01:25:30
del Warnhardt number two and nine to eleven, number right. Let me ask
01:25:33
you this because you made me think of it with the fort Worth Kennedy.
01:25:38
Yeah, if Trump wins, is Kennedy in his circle somehow? I think
01:25:45
so? Man, I think so too. In respect of me. A
01:25:48
bigger question than I have. Does he release the information? Oh? I
01:25:51
think there's no doubt he's gonna that's what are they scared of that? I'm
01:25:56
surprised Joe Biden just hadn't done it just out of to one of them before
01:26:00
he gets there. But what is it that we're going to find out?
01:26:05
Hey, real quick, this is such a cool topic that a guy at
01:26:10
work sent me his list and he's seventy four. His number one was the
01:26:14
moon landing JFK. Bean, but he had one here. I never thought
01:26:18
about Woodstock. Oh, that was a big event for him, the Challenger,
01:26:24
the Twin Towers three Mile Island. You know, if you're old enough,
01:26:28
that was a big, big deal, he said, Teddy Kennedy that
01:26:33
I guess what was the brother There was no Robert and Jack Robert and John
01:26:41
Kennedy to ask him what that's about. And then his last one, because
01:26:44
he knows who I am, he put Virginia Tech beating UVA in Scott Stadium
01:26:47
fifty five to seventeen. Yeah, that's awesome, all right, have had
01:26:55
it. I just got three things to say. God, bless our troops,
01:27:01
God bless America Stock, God, just making sure I'm not stepping on
01:27:17
Kevin as he called. Yeah, I told him six thirty okay, all
01:27:21
right, well six thirty should I still don't sorry? Six thirty five okay,
01:27:28
Well there's a difference. Six five minutes. Is everything all right?
01:27:32
You're wasting time? Oh yeah, alright, so ay, by next week,
01:27:36
have at it. Next week. I just announced I won't be here,
01:27:40
So Travis is gonna fell back inre You need to come up with a
01:27:42
nickname for old tea dog. Fill in phill. No, that doesn't soundt
01:27:45
right, that'd be true wife, Liberty, Happiness, Patriot, the LLH
01:27:51
stud So listen to this man. This is from twenty sixteen. This is
01:28:00
your next president potentially of what goes on in the next month. All right,
01:28:04
so I want you to listen. Takes a little bit to get there,
01:28:06
but listen to what they say at the very end. Who your potential
01:28:10
next president is? Cut five? These are dumb asses. Yeah, Well,
01:28:13
the Democratic Party for a very long time, not just this election cycle,
01:28:17
has been doing a lot of active outreach around the South Asians, around
01:28:21
API in general, and we'll continue to do it. I mean what we
01:28:25
know in particular, when you're talking about the South Asian community, we're talking
01:28:28
about the Indian community more specifically. It is a growing community in the United
01:28:31
States in terms of its voting block, in terms of its participation, and
01:28:36
I think the party knows that and knows that this is part of our collective
01:28:42
community and there needs to be outreach and in inclusion. And certainly you could
01:28:45
become the first Indian senator in US history. Whch should be quite accomplishment,
01:28:48
not quit. You could become the first Indian senator in US history. Wh
01:28:53
should be quite an accomplishment, not qu Okay, that's the dumb ass from
01:28:58
twenty sixteen, dentally our next president in about two or three weeks, right,
01:29:02
I thought it was going to happen already by now. Knockwood. Uh
01:29:05
huh what oh you're talking about Harris? Okay, that's Kamala Okay, Okay.
01:29:10
That interview was in twenty sixteen. She was she was representing the Asian
01:29:15
Indian community and she said we and then he said hopefully or whatever he said,
01:29:21
you could be the next thought Indian senator. She remember she was a
01:29:28
senator California, Okay, but they were touting her then as the Indian senator,
01:29:34
right, And of course she didn't say knock on wood. She said
01:29:39
knockwood. She was dumb back chocolate. All right, man, I'm going
01:29:45
to enrage you with these next clips. All right, I want you to
01:29:49
just listen to this and then I want you to get angry because we have
01:29:55
to fight. Brian. All right, let's listen to Claude van dam on
01:29:59
cut twelve. Does he take so that has been something he has consistently done
01:30:03
over the past couple of days. For sure, for certain, an afternoon
01:30:06
nap every day. Let me be very clear about this. This is a
01:30:13
president that wakes up every morning and puts the American people first. That's what
01:30:16
he does. He does that every single day. That is his focus.
01:30:23
I am not going to speak to sources out there, unnamed sources out there.
01:30:29
That's not what I'm going to speak to. I'm going to speak to
01:30:30
what I know, what this president does and how he is committed to the
01:30:34
work of the president of the commander in chief. And his record clearly lays
01:30:41
that. That lays that out and speaks to it. And that's what he's
01:30:45
going to continue to do. The American people first, the American people first,
01:30:47
and delivering for them. And for sure. Okay, the question was
01:30:54
does he take a nap every day? Okay that she didn't answer it,
01:30:59
no, right, simple yes or no. You could even say he takes
01:31:01
a twenty minute cest every day to reinvigorate himself so he can go to eleven
01:31:05
o'clock at night. Greatest. One of the probably top five lines last night
01:31:10
was Desantus saying it being president takes longer than from ten am to four pm.
01:31:15
Right, that's a great line. Yes, Blincoln, this came out
01:31:19
today. He's an idiot. Blincoln had to go meet German officials who were
01:31:24
waiting on by yes, because he was taking a nap at two o'clock.
01:31:30
Do you know what year that was? Twenty twenty two. They've been dealing
01:31:33
with this, and how they have hidden this and kept it under wraps is
01:31:36
beyond me. It's infuriating. I heard the other day a cabinet member said
01:31:42
he hadn't met with Joe Biden in two years. How is that possible?
01:31:46
Yeah, exactly. How is a cabinet member not met with the President of
01:31:50
the United States for two years? Okay? The one that I think is
01:31:55
gonna make you even angrier? All right, what was the part of the
01:31:59
debate that you hated the most. I'm just guessing if you had to think
01:32:02
about what made you the maddest about what Biden might have said, Oh,
01:32:08
oh gosh, him saying he didn't lose a service member. Here we go
01:32:12
cut twenty one. Let's listen to her answer. Obviously, with thirteen U
01:32:15
of service members died at Abby Gate during the Afghanistan withdrawal, and then this
01:32:19
year, three US service members died in a German attack in Jordan, and
01:32:24
yet the President said, quote, he's the only president of the century of
01:32:28
this decade that doesn't have any troops dying anywhere in the world like he did,
01:32:31
and quote, I get having a bad night, but how about the
01:32:35
president get that so wrong? So I appreciate the question. I really do.
01:32:39
And I was asked about this. I believe in the gaggle on Friday.
01:32:43
I believe and I said this, and I'll just reiterate this now and
01:32:46
again I appreciate the opportunity. Look, the President cares deeply about our service
01:32:50
members, he does, and their families. There are men's sacrifices that they've
01:32:56
made to take on the and he takes on responsibility as a commander in chief,
01:33:01
and that is something that certainly he will continue to do. I mentioned
01:33:04
moments ago that tomorrow and July fourth, he's going to have actives military members
01:33:10
here in their families to thank them personally. And obviously they makerif their families
01:33:15
make sacrifices as well. And as you know, he attended the dignified transfer
01:33:19
of the thirteen as you just mentioned, brave service members who lost their lives
01:33:24
in Afghanistan on August twenty sixth in twenty twenty one, and as well as
01:33:28
the three who lost their lives in Jordan earlier this year. I was there
01:33:32
with the President and you can see how much how important he understood it was
01:33:39
for him to be there for that moment, to be there for animize,
01:33:43
and so I just want to I want to be really clear about that,
01:33:46
because he has so much gratitude. We know that as a you can never
01:33:50
repay them for their courage. But to your question, the President was making
01:33:57
a comparison between how many service members have died under his leadership versus in previous
01:34:01
years. That's what the comparison that he was making and he is doing doing.
01:34:08
He was doing that because he canseled deeply exactly right. It wasn't I've
01:34:16
lost two percent of what you did. That's not what he said, I
01:34:20
have lost anyone. Okay, she infuriates me so much that she does.
01:34:25
I appreciate that question and I answered that on Friday, but I'll renswer it
01:34:28
for you because I'm so much better than you, guess, and then answered
01:34:30
Friday and continue not to answer anything. But last night, dude, Sarah
01:34:35
Huckulbye Sanders, Okay, I'm gonna get chills and I might get emotional about
01:34:40
it. She was so damn good like she was that I woke my daughter
01:34:45
up from her bed. Why I didn't wake her up. I walked in
01:34:47
and she looked like she was about to go because it was almost midnight and
01:34:49
she falls asleep and she was out, and I was like, Hey,
01:34:53
could you spend ten minutes and come watch this? I said, I want
01:34:56
you to watch a woman that has command. She's a leader, she's compassionate,
01:35:01
and she's got emotion. And I said, I just want you,
01:35:04
not asking you to be a Republican. And I didn't say all this to
01:35:08
her. I just want you to see this speech. I watched the speech
01:35:11
three times when she went to that part about what she had gone through as
01:35:17
the speaker, the Press secretary. If someone had spit on kjp's car Claude
01:35:25
van Dams today, God, while she's at her three year old kids preschool,
01:35:31
If someone didn't serve her like they didn't in Lexington, right, what
01:35:36
would the new God? And we have forgotten how in disgust they were to
01:35:45
her because and dude, when Trump tells her you're strong, you're smart,
01:35:51
you're beautiful, and you're good at what you do, it's why they hate
01:35:55
you. Oh man, God, that was so good And it's the truth.
01:36:00
Absolutely is the truth. If I'm pretty sure. I asked Reagan to
01:36:04
stay and watch that because she just came in the bedroom and I said,
01:36:08
look at her. Yeah, Now, secretly you should tell everybody that you
01:36:12
have a crush on her. You left that part out smoking even when she
01:36:15
was big smoking. Now she's even Now she's out of my league. Before
01:36:18
I think I could have got her, But now likes and the ice train,
01:36:28
CAROLINEA what up? Kate? Dog? Is this? Carolina? Kevin
01:36:43
pullip a chain? Oh God, the way we start? What are we
01:36:48
gonna talk about today? We're gonna talk about the attempted assassination of the President
01:36:55
Trump. I'm sure y'all haven't talked enough about that. We did, Hey,
01:37:00
I do have I don't want to get you off your thing, but
01:37:02
I do have a surprise sound for you. If we get a chance.
01:37:06
I don't know if we would have got that cut. The there's a cut
01:37:10
forty four, you get cut forty four for Carolina. Kevin, what,
01:37:14
Kevin? I need you to hear this takes a little bit of a second.

If you can hear it though. Oh you know what, Kevin,
01:37:18

01:37:31
I don't hear that. That was my forty five? Did you hear
01:37:38
it? Ryn? Yes, Okay, I'll get I'll do the impersonation of
01:37:43
it. Kevin. It went. Do you know what that was? The
01:37:49
new NASCAR car that's coming. No, it's not, I promise you it's
01:37:54
not. I've already that's not so I know it was the Chicago Oh No,
01:37:59
they made it and guess what, they scrapped it. That's how bad
01:38:01
it was. I'm just telling you that brought it to Chicago streets and raced
01:38:05
it to show everybody what could be coming. No, and I got it,
01:38:10
I hear you. But they already squashed that. All right, Kevin,
01:38:13
I'm gonna send it to you on the side so you'll hear it.
01:38:15
It's horrible, it's awful, and I just I remember Kevin Hard you've heard
01:38:18
right now fell out. I don't think anything could have got to be worth
01:38:26
Kevin Harvick. Thank god they did this so they could see how bad it
01:38:30
really was, and it was so bad. Yeah, they didn't want to
01:38:33
finish the car, but was obligated to. So he said, don't worry,
01:38:39
we're in no danger of seeing that anytime soon. You don't think there's
01:38:43
going to be an E car one day or nice car. No, they've
01:38:45
already talked about that. There are lower segments that already have the E cars.
01:38:48
Okay, yeah, that's already here. But you're not going to see
01:38:51
NASCAR. It's not happening, right green person in there. What if AOC
01:38:56
takes over Nascar? Oh my god, it could happen. I just crazy.

01:44:24
some not long ago. Hey, Uh tell me again why my tomatoes haven't
01:44:29
changed colors? Probably because you don't have enough of lime in the ground.
01:44:38
With the lime, y'all's answered to everything is lime. It's true. I've
01:44:44
got a ton of tomatoes, but they're all just as green as this mountain
01:44:48
dew bottle. Well, about two or three weeks away from handing out tomatoes
01:44:56
to everybody. Girls quit Every morning I find one of them on the ground
01:45:02
or squirrel it's gnawed into it. Kevin, did you have any others on
01:45:06
your list? Uh? Well, I mean I remember my biggest ones are
01:45:15
like, of course nine to eleven. Then you had uh, Princess Diane
01:45:20
getting married, and you had Dale Earnhart his wreck, and uh you're talking
01:45:26
about political stuff just not first honestly anything. Well, you know when Dylan,
01:45:33
uh, when he decided to go into the Marines, when he called
01:45:39
and told me, yeah, like caught me off guard and I'm like what
01:45:43
what what? What? Hold on a second? Yeah, do you not
01:45:47
understand that they're the hardest, like the Armed forces in the whole United States,
01:45:57
Like their boot camp is not like regular, they like go to a
01:46:01
different level. Yeah, and He's like, well, if I'm gonna do
01:46:04
it, my m mind as will do it. I'm gonna go through the
01:46:08
motions anyway. So I'm that's where I'm going. I was like, okay,
01:46:15
I'll never forget when he called me. I was working and riding down
01:46:18
the road going to another cemetery when he called and told me, and I'm
01:46:21
like, oh my gosh. And then it kind of hits you, you
01:46:26
know, as a father, like you know, thinking about the worst.
01:46:32
But I think that helped him project him into where he's situated now. It
01:46:41
primes you up for times that you may have encountering in that type of line
01:46:46
of work. But you know, I pray for him and everybody else every
01:46:51
day, just in that industry, because you just don't never know, you
01:46:59
ever get you You've been watching any of the convention RNC, Oh, Yeah.
01:47:04
The biggest one I think I've taken from all of it was probably the
01:47:11
other night when Lee Greenwood was singing the song and Trump come out and his
01:47:18
son, he got emotional. He didn't show it too too much. You
01:47:24
could tell he was trying to hold it back. Yeah, and also tell
01:47:29
that you know that it was he was in the moment, everybody was in
01:47:33
the moment that you know, you it's no less than a damn miracle.
01:47:41
You got to understand that. Yeah. And I mean, it's like Ben
01:47:44
Carson said last night, Uh, it's in the Bible in the States,
01:47:48
whatever you try to do to another man, you know, like, when
01:47:53
you God's on your side, it doesn't matter what weapon you got or whatever
01:47:57
you try to do, whether you weaponize the the the government, or whether
01:48:03
you weaponize just a regular person out here in society, Like, it doesn't
01:48:10
matter how much you try to put this person down. If it ain't in
01:48:15
the plan of the man, it ain't gonna happen. Yeah, m but
01:48:20
it was, it was. It was. It was a pretty good I
01:48:24
mean introduction and all. And you could visibly see Trump has physically changed a
01:48:30
little bit in his facial expressions during the introduction of the convention and all.
01:48:36
But who would not be I mean, yeah, escaping literally death by millimeters,
01:48:45
and it puts you in a different perspective, believe me, working in
01:48:49
the death care industry, dealing with death every day. It puts you in
01:48:54
a different perspective in life. And so I'm pretty sure that nindset changed.
01:49:01
And to be honest, not saying he was a bad person, but he's
01:49:08
probably going to be a hell of a better person moving forward, and in
01:49:12
some of the decisions he makes for the country, but mostly in his personal
01:49:16
life. It's very similar to Reagan. After he got shot, he said
01:49:21
he felt divine from that point forward. Yeah, you know what. Somebody
01:49:28
at work mentioned that he wondered if he was going to ratchet it down a
01:49:32
little bit, and I thought, man, he's almost just as likely to
01:49:35
think it's time to ratchet it up. God's on my side, I mean,
01:49:40
like he wants me to do this, you know what I mean,
01:49:43
you could, you could go either way. It seemed like, I tell
01:49:45
you what, man, I've always said, he plays chess when I don't
01:49:48
know what he's doing. And at the back end, I realized, Man,
01:49:51
he's been playing this right the whole way. That the way he handled
01:49:57
that Monday night, with just what Kevin was saying, look on his face
01:50:00
and look at peace, and I get a second chance, or I get
01:50:04
another chance at this got a bonus rank, I could be gone, I
01:50:09
could be missing all this and everybody around here could be missing me. But
01:50:12
it seems like he misses them. Like you can see him talking when politicians
01:50:16
are talking, and it's almost sort of rude when he does it. But
01:50:19
when the people were up there talking, he doesn't he listens to what they
01:50:23
got to say. And I was like, man, he's just a man
01:50:25
of the people. Yeah, I've alwaysd I've never understood the people that say
01:50:30
that he's just he does his own thing. He doesn't listen. If you
01:50:34
know anything about Donald Trump, the dude absolutely listens. That's how he forms
01:50:41
Every opinion he's got is not just he woke up and decided I'm going to
01:50:45
do this. That dude's a negotiator, and to negotiate you have to do
01:50:49
it from a position of power. You don't get powered just by Willy Nelly
01:50:55
saying I'm going to do this. You know, it's funny you mention that,
01:50:58
because one of the strategies I think they've done too is personalized. Donald
01:51:02
Trump's he's last too, Ben Carson. I mean he's been he was president
01:51:05
before, right, Ben Carson. We've heard hundreds of times Ben Carson last
01:51:10
night talked about the story where he met Trump before Trump ran. He doesn't
01:51:15
know that Trump knows him, and they're talking and someone comes in and tells
01:51:17
them Rod Stewart is here to see him, and he goes, are you
01:51:20
kidding me? I got Ben Carson with me right that that kind of just,
01:51:26
you know, care about someone that he doesn't even know that he should
01:51:29
care about him. I just thought, man, it was really well done
01:51:31
how they've been trying to personalize in a little bit better and tell you more
01:51:34
about him as a man, because I think they missed those opportunities previous.
01:51:39
Yeah. Well, also we have known, right because we've been a fan
01:51:45
or whatever. It's surprising where the people that haven't heard or sing, Like
01:51:47
last night, I happened to be on Fox. Who's the black guy that's
01:51:50
kind of taken over for Juan Williams. There's a guy that, oh,
01:51:55
yeah, Harold Ford, Yes, it's good dude. I I didn't know
01:52:00
that I could actually listen to him, and I just happened because I'm flipping
01:52:03
all the channels and I don't want to watch Fox. But I heard him
01:52:05
say I hope the DNC is watching this methodology because what the RNC. They've
01:52:12
knocked it out of the park. We're letting the people speak. And he
01:52:15
said, these testimonials are you cannot deny them. Yeah, that was so
01:52:19
well done, Kevin. You want to hear a quick story, and I
01:52:23
want to ask Woody a question real quick. Yes, do you have any
01:52:30
of those buttons that you push like they had in the last debate where you
01:52:34
only have one minute to respond and then you click and cut the microphone off?
01:52:39
Yeah? I do that. Yeah, who do you need to cut?
01:52:42
That's with Thread and Brian when they call Carolina kept Oh my god.
01:52:46
By the way, it's interesting you say that because the funny thing about that
01:52:50
cutting the mic off was the reason they were doing it beforehand obviously was because
01:52:54
Donald will just they didn't want him to be able to interrupt the other guy.
01:52:59
Yeah, but actually what it ended up doing was saving Biden because he
01:53:02
started mumbling and trailing off that when the mic went off, he's still talking
01:53:06
without a sentence. Well, it ended up saving Biden because of saving from
01:53:13
himself. Idiot. But I don't go mumbling off and trailing off. No
01:53:18
you don't yet. So I have a list here, and I want if
01:53:25
you guys have seen these guys talk, and I wish i'd looked up the
01:53:28
name. So I got the top speeches that I've seen so far. All
01:53:32
right, so, and I didn't write ten of them down. I got.
01:53:34
Number seven was this guy from Michigan. He was on the first night,
01:53:39
the night they did black to black to black back to back to back.
01:53:42
It was three guys in rouners like damn, y'all couldn't split them up
01:53:44
a little bit, like what are you trying to do? But anyway,
01:53:46
the third guy was from Michigan. He was so good. He actually looked
01:53:49
like Obama maybe a little bit darker. And they're adjectives, is what I'm
01:53:54
using the description of the guy. God, he was so good. I
01:53:57
think he's a military guy. But number six it's Mark Robinson from North Carolina.
01:54:01
Did you see him Kevin Monday night? Holy cow, that guy's good.
01:54:09
That that that guy could convince me to vote for him for dog Catcher
01:54:13
and I do it. Number five last night could not. Every time a
01:54:17
speech happened, I kept thinking, well, that's going to be one I'd
01:54:20
hate to follow. Laura Trump last night, she was good. The part
01:54:25
at the end when she starts thinking Trump, But she's looking at him eye
01:54:30
to eye. She doesn't look at the crowd. You know how they turned
01:54:32
left and they turn right while they talk. She doesn't do that. She
01:54:36
looks at him and thanks him for being her father in law. Thanks,
01:54:40
thanks him for being the father to her husband, thanks her for being him
01:54:43
and for being a grandfather. And she never takes her eyes off of him.
01:54:46
Yeah, Oh my god, it was so so well done. Yeah,
01:54:49
and she's she's from North Carolina. Her backstore is pretty cool. Amaze,
01:54:55
it was her backside. Wow, I can't. I'm want to tell
01:55:03
you who I was surprised by. And I've heard him in person. I
01:55:05
mean I've seen him in person shake his hand yin on Monday Night liver and
01:55:12
dude, he did it with that groul yeah, and that roar kind of
01:55:15
thing. I've never seen him do that before. He's such a nice guy.
01:55:17
But man, he did it with conviction, the stuff that he was
01:55:20
just belting out there. I was like, man, you got a little
01:55:23
Mark Robinson in you. Is he our replacement for Warner? Oh? Please?
01:55:29
Yes, he's got to be. Yes. I don't know what else
01:55:31
he's gonna do, because actually only has a year left as governor, right,
01:55:34
just a year again, yes, he does Is it just one more
01:55:38
year? Yeah? The Virginia is the year after the election, the presidential
01:55:42
election. Yeah, he's in your number three, it'll be in four and
01:55:45
then we got win some serious But I don't know what he's I mean,
01:55:47
he could go literally serve in the cabinet. I would think, well,
01:55:53
I would say Warner's probably coming up. Well, I'm assuming it's every three
01:55:58
years, right, because there's six years runs, right, so it'd be
01:56:01
staggered, what six year one? So senate like your senator six years,
01:56:04
So I'm assuming that it's a three year run and Tim Kaine is now,
01:56:09
so it would be three years from now before Warner. So it's twenty twenty
01:56:14
seven is when Warner would be up. I'm guessing first of all, that's
01:56:20
a little bit of seventy Warner. Yeah, that's another lie. By the
01:56:25
way, Biden when he's talking to I don't think it was the black guy
01:56:31
that just interviewed him. It was. And the question was, Senator Warner
01:56:36
has gotten a group of people to say that you should step down. Do
01:56:41
you know what Biden's answer was, what? Well, I know, Mark,
01:56:45
Mark ran for this office to make it sound like that they were running
01:56:48
against one another. And that's why we would have done it. Dude,
01:56:51
how long ago would Mark Warner would have tried to have run for president?
01:56:57
I mean, it's even way back before sixteen, it has to be.
01:57:00
But that's the answer he used in twenty twenty four. He just used it
01:57:04
a couple of weeks ago. It was web But I don't think it was
01:57:08
Warner. I know Web ran more recently than Warner. I think Warner might
01:57:11
have done one of those feelers. But but but Biden is so mean dude.
01:57:15
He's a vicious dude. Yes, Biden is a mean guy, idiot.
01:57:19
And so when he's back in the corner, and by the way,
01:57:21
when they come and ask him, is he going to tone down his rhetoric
01:57:26
When you're calling the man that you're going against as taking away your right to
01:57:30
vote, yes, and that he's hitler, that's the rhetoric. And he's
01:57:33
trying to say he's not doing that, that he's not doing the rhetoric.
01:57:38
He's always blaming the other guy. Number three Desantus last night, Kevin Us,
01:57:44
still there. I'm listening. Thanks, probably more so than Brian I'm
01:57:51
listening Desantus. Did you enjoy him? All right? Yes, but not
01:57:58
I don't put him up there with the rest of them. Oh man,
01:58:00
I thought he was fantastic. Vec was at the top of my list with
01:58:03
Sanders to go ahead, yep, and I got Sanders number two and Vec
01:58:08
number one. So if you hadn't heard, did you hear of a Vec
01:58:11
yesterday? Yeah? Yeah, So that's how I'm into the show. The
01:58:15
channel I was watching did not show him, which really ticked me off.
01:58:20
So I'm gonna play ABC News Live. It's their twenty four hour news channel.
01:58:28
All right, Well, we got to wrap up the show, Kevin,
01:58:31
seven o'clock. Do you say anything about the Chrystalies daughter? Oh,
01:58:36
she was good too. I was shot that they let her speak. Who.
01:58:44
Yeah, Trent doesn't know who the Chrystlies are. Your wife knows who
01:58:48
the Chrystlies are. I can guarantee you that, oh. Oh, is
01:58:50
she the one that her parents have gone to jail? Yes? Yeah,
01:58:54
she's pretty hid yeah yeah, And I will say what well, I mean,
01:59:00
that's my description for her to say. You know that she is hot?
01:59:02
Yeah. I think her parents there that aren't her parents were definitely wrong.
01:59:09
I mean, it was so stupid. Are they in jail, yes,
01:59:13
and you think the mom is going to be let out because it was
01:59:17
a business partner that screwed them over and they used them as an example,
01:59:21
and it was your Fulton County district attorney to make an example out of them.
01:59:27
Where's Fulton County? And they say they they were better. They're no
01:59:32
better than Donald Trump in the South. So they compared to the South.
01:59:43
Mm hm, they had a funny show. It is a funny show.
01:59:46
Anyway. She's hot, more hotter than your girl. You was told them
01:59:50
that earlier. But all right, how could She's done a great job as
01:59:58
governor though she's not just up there talking. She's lit. She kicked China
02:00:02
out youngest governor. Oh and then she required the Bible to be talked back
02:00:10
in school. Not talking about qualifications. I'm talking about Look physical Look,
02:00:15
that is a qualification. She's not She's not on my top ten. What
02:00:20
all right? I'm getting off there. All right, we'll see you next
02:00:24
week. I got two words for your Trent. Okay. The first word
02:00:29
of the day was last week when we didn't have a podcast. That word
02:00:34
of the day is jumper cables. Okay on my phone. I don't have
02:00:41
you as Trent one or a W or t W. I just have you
02:00:45
as jumper cables because you're always starting shit in anyway. The second word of
02:00:53
the day iss cation. I need with some kind of cation. I don't
02:00:58
don't know if it's a vacation or on sacage of some medication, but I
02:01:02
need a casion. So there you go, guys. I've got a real
02:01:10
time update. Oh that happened during the show. Can I share it real
02:01:13
quick? Yeah? Of course, all right, this is a conspiracy theory,
02:01:17
but but I'm excited to talk about it. All right, Well see
02:01:19
you'll next week. Go ahead, all right, So Biden did, remember
02:01:28
he did the interview Wednesday that's going to be released today about he said,
02:01:32
if I have some medical condition that emerged, if somebody, if doctors come
02:01:36
to me and said you've got this problem, then he would drop out right.
02:01:41
Okay, all right, So this happened during the show, just so
02:01:44
y'all know, just just for thank you all so much for your patience and
02:01:49
updandy. Regrettably, I was just on the phone with usident Biden, and
02:02:01
he shared his deep disappointment at not being able to join us this afternoon.
02:02:11
Oh my god. The president has been at many events, as we all
02:02:15
know, and he just tested positive for COVID. So they've planted the seed
02:02:25
just so you know they're doing it. Of why he's said listen, no,
02:02:30
no. He got asked in this interview this week, would you step
02:02:33
down? And his answer was, if I had some medical condition that emerged,
02:02:39
I would step down, But I'm not going to step down. That
02:02:42
interview hasn't even been released yet. And then there's sources that we're talking about
02:02:46
the interview itself and said that he just was trailing after in the call or
02:02:49
whatever, and then their excuse why he was so bad. Well, this
02:02:54
is why I think he's going to step away for a while. And I
02:02:56
think this might be the start of them ushering him him out because of a
02:03:00
medical condition, not because of just him asking him to step in. I
02:03:03
look at this, and you know what I think is this dude has done
02:03:08
like ten events in a row, and even though they're controlled in small events,
02:03:13
he's wore out. Yeah, this is because he says he's back to
02:03:16
Delaware. That dude just wants to go back to sleep. I don't think
02:03:20
he's going anywhere. I think this dude just wants to go back to sleep.
02:03:26
He was supposed to be in Vegas and he's back in Delaware because he
02:03:29
tested positive for COVID. First of all, raise your hand if you've taken
02:03:32
a COVID test in the last year. I never how many times have you
02:03:36
been sick? A couple of times? Right, you don't know who's testing
02:03:41
positive for COVID. There's eating up with that stupid stuff. But I guarantee
02:03:45
you they got they got like random ones in their pocket to pull out just
02:03:48
in case they need an excuse. Trump probably had COVID when he was shot.
02:03:53
But you think this is like the medical thing that they would use.
02:03:56
This is the start. I think this is COVID. Yeah, this is
02:04:00
something something will happen, and this is the excuse because that was the only
02:04:02
reason that he said. And I think that they're planning the seed. I
02:04:05
think that's I do think he's going out. I don't think he's will make
02:04:08
it through the DNC's they're gonna make it. I don't think he's all right.
02:04:12
The only reason I say, you know they canceled, they had them
02:04:15
canceled. The virtual have you heard about all that they were supposed to have
02:04:18
a virtual roll call, so that oh before they so that he can be
02:04:25
nominated. Yes, but now they've called their call calling that off. That's
02:04:30
why I thought, Man, he's done stepped in and said, look,
02:04:33
I ain't going nowhere. Yeah again, listen, they've got bigger problems if
02:04:40
he does step down, because you can't bypass Kamala. That's gonna look horrible.
02:04:46
Well technically they could, and it's gonna look horrible. You know you
02:04:49
can, but you bring up bigger issues. You don't have the money because
02:04:54
the money has to stay with the Biden Harris campaign. That's one I didn't
02:04:58
know. It's it is a campaign finance violation if you move the money outside
02:05:03
of that campaign, so you can't just give the money to another campaign.
02:05:10
It's gonna be interesting. He ain't gonna let go. He'll just come up
02:05:15
with that or whatever. Lie because he doesn't want to go do something.
02:05:18
They're gonna make it for him though. They're gonna make the decision for him.
02:05:21
Now. Hey, Woody, I don't know if you noticed there on
02:05:24
that thing that you can skip forward a little bit. Oh ok, yeah,
02:05:29
if you go you thirty seconds go, thirty seconds ahead, and that's
02:05:31
when the speech starts. I'm ready whenever you are. Yeah, Brian,
02:05:34
are you ready to hit? Yes? I got to go. I will
02:05:36
see a great interview. Man. To be back in Milwaukee this time last
02:05:42
year, I was a candidate for US President, and I'm proud to say
02:05:45
that I achieved the impossible, which is that most of you actually know how
02:05:49
to say my name by now, so so thank you for that. It's
02:05:56
good to be back. We're in the middle of a national identity crisis right
02:06:01
now. Faith, patriotism, hard work, and family have disappeared, only
02:06:09
to be replaced by race, gender, sexuality, and climate. But we're
02:06:15
not going to win this election just by criticizing the other side. We're gonna
02:06:18
win this by standing for our own vision of who we really are. What
02:06:24
does it mean to be a Republican in the year twenty twenty four? What
02:06:28
does it mean to be an American in the year twenty twenty four? It
02:06:32
means we believe in the ideals of seventeen seventy six. It means we believe
02:06:36
in merit that you get ahead in this country not on the color of your
02:06:41
skin, but on the content of your character and your contributions. It means
02:06:46
we believe in the rule of law. And I say this as the kid
02:06:50
of legal immigrants to this country. That means your first act of entering this
02:06:56
country cannot break the law. That is why we will seal the southern border
02:07:00
on day one, thank you. It means the people who we elect to
02:07:09
run the government ought to be the ones who actually run the government, not
02:07:15
unelected bureaucrats in the deep state. These are not black ideas or white ideas.
02:07:20
They are not even Democrat ideas or Republican ideas. They are American ideas
02:07:27
that we fought a revolution to secure. And the man who will revive these
02:07:30
ideals in the United States of America is your next president, the forty seventh
02:07:35
President of the United States, Donald J. Trump. If you want to
02:07:45
seal the border, vote Trump. If you want to restore law and order
02:07:50
in this country, vote Trump. If you want to reignite the economy in
02:07:56
this country, vote Trump. If you want to revive nation no pride in
02:08:00
this country, vote Truck. If you want to make America great again,
02:08:05
vote Truck. But there is one more reason I'm going to ask you to
02:08:11
vote Trump, and it's the most important one. It's the one the media
02:08:16
won't talk about, but it's the truth. Donald Trump is the president who
02:08:20
will actually unite this country, not through empty words, but through action.
02:08:26
Because you know what success is unifying, Excellence is unifying. That's who we
02:08:31
are as Americans, That's who we've always been. To those of you watching
02:08:37
this at home, tonight, I'd like to deliver a message that the media
02:08:41
doesn't want you to hear from the Republican Party. Our message to black Americans
02:08:46
is this. The media has tried to convince you for decades that Republicans don't
02:08:52
care about your communities, but we do. We want for you what we
02:08:56
want for every American. Safe neighborhoods, clean treats, good jobs, a
02:09:01
better life for your children, and a justice system that treats everyone equally,
02:09:07
regardless of your skin color and regardless of your political beliefs. Our message to
02:09:22
every legal immigrant in this country is this, you're like my parents. You
02:09:30
deserve the opportunity to secure a better life for your children in America. But
02:09:35
our message to illegal immigrants is also this. We will return you to your
02:09:39
country of origin, not because you're all bad people, but because you broke
02:09:45
the law, and the United States of America was founded on the rule of
02:09:50
law. Our message to millennials, speaking as one myself, yes, it's
02:10:05
true. Our government sold us a false bill of goods with the Iraq War
02:10:09
and the two thousand and eight financial crisis, loading up our national debt that
02:10:13
falls on our generation's shoulders, telling us that if we took out college loans,
02:10:18
we'd somehow get a head start on the American dream when it hasn't worked
02:10:22
out that way. But we can't just be cynical about our country because the
02:10:26
United States of America is still the last best hope that we have, and
02:10:31
we deserve a better class of politician, one who actually tells us the truth,
02:10:37
even if it comes with some mean tweets from time to time. And
02:10:50
our message to gen z is this, you're going to be the generation that
02:10:56
actually saves this country. You want to be a rebel, want to be
02:11:00
a hippie, you want to stick it to the man. Show up on
02:11:03
your college campus and try calling yourself a conservative. Say you want to get
02:11:07
married, have kids, teach them to believe in God, and pledge allegiance
02:11:11
to their country, because you know what fear has been infectious in this country.
02:11:18
But courage can be contagious too. That too, is what it means
02:11:20
to be an American. And you know what, if you're at home and
02:11:28
you disagree with everything I just said, our message to you is this,
02:11:33
we will still defend it to the death, your right to say it,
02:11:37
because that is who we are as Americans. We are the country where we
02:11:43
can disagree like hell and still get together at the dinner table at the end
02:11:46
of it. That is the America I know. That is the America we
02:11:50
miss. We do not have to be ancient Rome. We don't have to
02:11:54
be this nation in decline. We can still be a nation in our sent
02:12:00
a nation whose best days not in some fake politician way, but in a
02:12:05
true way, a nation whose best days are actually still ahead of us,
02:12:09
still on our way to that shining city on a hill, that country where
02:12:15
no matter who you are, or where your parents came from, or what
02:12:18
your skin color is, or how long your last name is, that you
02:12:24
will still get ahead in this country with your own hard work, your own
02:12:30
commitment, your own dedication, and that you know what you are free to
02:12:33
speak your mind at every step of the way. That is the American dream.
02:12:39
That is what won us the American Revolution, that is what reunited us
02:12:43
after the Civil War, that is what won us two World Wars and the
02:12:48
Cold War. That is what still gives hope to the free world. And
02:12:52
if we can revive that dream over group identity and victimhood and grievance, then
02:12:58
nobody in the world, not a nation, not a corporation, not a
02:13:03
virus, not China, is going to defeat us. That is what American
02:13:07
exceptionalism is all about, and that is what we will revive this November.
02:13:11
When we said Donald J. Chrunk back to the White House, thank you
02:13:16
all. God bless you and your families, and may God bless our United
02:13:20
States of America. Thank you, Thank you,
