Real News, real talk, all right, good going and everybody,
and happy at you? Man? This ZERI is lying by how y'all doing?
Excuse me? I thought about whether I should open the show with this.
Then I thought, excuse me. I was sitting here. I was
just talking to Ross off the here. Let me take a sip of water.
Weird man. Spring spring into summers always just the worst for those of
you who get a little allergy. You know what's up. But um so
I was thinking about whether I should get into this. And because there is
probably zero people listening who were impacted based on well, I shouldn't say zero,
there's maybe one or two of you out there. So one of the
banks that I do business with, and this is a product of me living
in Minnesota prior to moving to North Carolina well over a decade ago, is
US Bank, And for whatever reason, US Bank doesn't do business in North
Carolina. I shouldn't say that they have like oddly, they have like a
handful of ATMs on college campuses, which I guess I kind of get you
get kids from other states, and they actually had and I don't even remember
if they still have it. They had like a single branch. Maybe it
wasn't even I've never been there, but I remember it shown up on a
map out in like Kittie Hawk or something. But primarily US Bank is elsewhere,
but in Minnesota that is kind of the main bank there, and hence,
like the Viking Stadium is literally US Bank Stadium, okay, um,
And that's where they're based out of. But they cover they cover a big
swath of the country and I don't ever really need to walk into a branch,
so I keep uh one of my accounts there because I did a deal
um way back in the day where I promoted US Bank and I've actually,
you know, look, banks or banks, man, we're gonna have our
frustrations all of that, but um, for me at the time, it
was very convenient. I had products through them, the whole thing. Okay,
all right, And and by the way, this isn't an invitation for
you to tell me about how great your credit union is. I get that
I do, but what I'm going to talk about, frankly, could happen
to anybody, and it's it's less what happened and more of the reaction to
it, which I find bonkers. I'm gonna get a little conspiratorial, so
stick with me. So I continue to do business with US Bank because I
can deposit checks online and the rare occasion that I get a check, it's
attached to all of my stuff. I do my bill pay. And even
though I did open a second bank account with a North Carolina bank just because
I had a second one up, that you should always have two if just
my personal opinion, because who the hell knows for all of kind of the
automated stuff, I just they still do that for me. Okay, probably
shouldn't be giving this info out on the air, but some hackers somewhere or
whatever. But so yesterday, which I don't know if you know this for
a lot of people, was pay day. Yesterday. US Bank just stopped
for a good swath of the day. And when I say stopped, I
mean, um, now part of my Now I I split we you know,
we do direct deposits, So I split the deposits and what I need
for bill pay, and all that goes into US Bank, and then it
goes into my other bank, and and that all like showed up in the
morning. Everything was fine. And then yesterday afternoon I started getting all of
these dings on my phone and they were transaction denials, and they were from
automated bill pay stuff, and they just kept coming and kept coming, and
so I tried to log in, couldn't log in, try to go the
app, couldn't appwooden load, try to call the bank. The wait time
was, um, how long is it till Jesus comes back? It's that
much? And you couldn't. So I went to the I went to an
ATM because I'm curious. I had to go out anyway. I went to
an ATMU and no matter the transaction amount, it's like, nah, you
can't have it. I tried to run a transaction with my with my debit,
Nope, denied. So the entirety of the system shut down, and
it shut down for hours yesterday on the same day that a bunch of people
who are customers of what is the fifth largest bank in America. I mean
we're talking tens of millions of I shouldn't say tens of millions. I think
it's like fifteen million people or whatever. Um it it just didn't work,
so people had no access to their money, people who were attempting to pay
bills, pay their rent. You know, it's right ahead of the first
NADA And I'm assuming it had something to do with some system update because I
remember seeing that that they did last weekend and it didn't go well. But
here's why I'm bringing it up. Not because at the end of the day
it really was. It was And in fact, I will say this because
then I tried to do an Uber in THEA when it was still going on,
and Uber said your your payment. When I went to order the Uber,
it says your payment method was declined. However, we will allow you
to pay later. I've never seen anything like that. And then I just
flipped. I just changed to another payment method and got my Uber. But
the reason I'm pointing this out is like Uber had they realized what was going
on, and they pivoted. They realized that US Bank was food bart yesterday
for customers, and they realized it wasn't the customer's fault, so they like
were I'm assuming making allowance because I've never seen that from Uber. Ever,
the reason I'm bringing this up is, and I know in North Carolina.
It may not end up on people's radar, but US Bank had nothing on
any of their social media updating what the hell was going on. People obviously
were losing their damn minds and try and find a story about it. This
is why I'm bringing it up, so one of the top five banks in
the country, if only just for a few hours, because I saw people
online go whoa, It was just just wait and I you know, people
were literally like tweeting that they were at gas stations or at restaurants and they
couldn't pay. When guy's like, I don't know if Chili's is going to
take your excuse, but there was no excuse because they didn't say anything.
And for whatever reason, there's not a bunch of stories about it. And
I'm baffled by that. This morning, I even gave it the night.
I'm like, I'll see what people wrote up in the morning, sitting there
googling this morning. There's some off mentions. Most of it traces back to
social media where people are posting their own experience. But it shows it.
It shows you the it shows you how quickly something like that or and this
is where we get my little tinfoil hat out. It shows you how quickly
you can screech to a halt someone's life if they're if they're beholden to that.
And also it should be a cautionary tale about all of these people who
want, you know, want to get rid of paper currency. Oh well,
we just need to go digital. Well, yesterday afternoon, on likely
one of the highest transaction days, you know, the last day of the
month added into the first, one of the major US banks spent the afternoon
not allowing people to access any of their money. You couldn't do digital payments
obviously because I was getting and then obviously once they corrected whatever they corrected,
and who knows how long that's gonna last. My phone just ding ding ding
ding, like all evening with notifications about denied transactions. From early you're in
the day, it was sending me like second and third notifications that was due.
It was just crazy. It's like your payment to Duke Energy bah,
like three times I got told that didn't go through. So now I got
to figure all that crap out today because it's not actually do but I just
kind of pay everything on the same But the point is, the point is
how immediate, how immediately based on digital usage. They can shut down people's
ability to do anything. So anytime I hear well we need to get read
of paper currency, we go all digital. It's not just the tracking to
see what you do, which is horrific and you know would be abused by
people, but it literally stymies you. And I've never understood, and I
maybe maybe I'm just weird. Like there's people I know that are like,
didn't ever carry cash? I always got to have some cash. I mean,
ross do you do you do you make a point to have cash or
are you just like I got my cards, everything's good. I mean I
try to yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, I'd like it.
And I've always kind of been that way. And it's weird because I have
friends who are like, ah, cash, what do you have cash for?
Mostly they're like they're they're the ones that are bad at gambling, like
at golf, like they don't ever want to pay their nassa. I gotta
go with the ATM And I'm like, how do you not have cash on
you? The heck? But and and and I had and again it like
it. It didn't kill me yesterday, but it was amusing because then I'm
going to the point where I'm going and doing stuff. But then I'm reading
about people who are literally like one guy's at a Chili's. I told you,
it's like, what am I gonna do? You think Chili's cares?
The US banks that, no, they don't. Guy's polishing a third rack
or ribs, going well, I'm just gonna have to keep eating. Hopefully
they get it worked out. But it was that immediate and then so so
you see that, and then for whatever reason, there's no intellectual curiosity on
the part of the media because they realize that's the kind of stuff that gets
people bank running. That's how bank runs start. And then of course every
other comment is somebody like you should have bought doze. Shut up. Okay,
that's not helpful right now, but um just pandemonium, man, and
like, no no coverage on it. I you know, I don't know
the total assets that the US bank has, and again I know in North
Carolina the vast majority of you don't have that. But just imagine your bank
and for you know, pay day, the last day of the month,
when a lot of people are paying bills just for hours and hours and hours
nothing. You can't do anything, and anytime you hear somebody like, oh,
we need to go all digital. Forget the spy aspect of it.
Look at that. Look at how many people got it hampered yesterday. Look
at how many and and and I and of course my conspiracy is the reason
the media doesn't want to touch it is because they don't want, you know,
they want anything to reflect badly on the administration, even though I'm pretty
sure Joe Biden didn't have anything to do with it. Right, It was
US Bank doing a system software update which they told us about for weeks that
obviously wasn't done well. But that being said, uh, you know,
they got to protect their own and US Bank not even communicating with its guy.
It's crazy, man, absolutely crazy. And then you remember what happened
up in Canada where people who were part of that trucker's protest they just they
just shut all their bank stuff down. It's such an impactful method of control
that, um, you know people, That's that's the other reason I think
they don't cover in because they realize if if you really stopped to think about
the fact that, um, with the flip of a switch, that they
could make it so you couldn't you couldn't do anything. You couldn't literally participate
in society unless you had taken other precautions. They don't want you thinking about
that. But yesterday a lot of people got that reminder in Holy hell man.
So anyway, six twenty two lots to get to give your rundown coming
up. Hang on today only check out iHeartRadio Access day dot com for endless
steals an amazing access to once in a lifetime experiences. One on six point
one FM Talk Real News, Real Talk, all right, six twenty seven
long per second instead to all that hand but because you know, I'll just
foot for thoughts to think about all that good stuff coming up on the show,
we'll get into acts of violence that's fun, more AI doing AI stuff,
and holy cow, there's a bunch of people that are getting ready to,
um, I'll say, quote unquote run for president. Um, but
really it's about building profile and I don't know, maybe getting the gig when
whoever is elected, if they are elected out of the Republican side. So
we'll get into it. Plus um uh, Hollywood's gonna Hollywood kind of.
I'll explain and what the reasoning is in just a few Today only check out
iHeartRadio access day dot Com for endless steals an amazing access to once in a
lifetime experiences. One oh six point one FM Talk, Real News, Real
Talk, all right, six thirty five. Good morning, It is the
case O Day Radio program. Do Do Do Do. Let me grab a
quick phone call and we get into a couple other things. Yesterday, Good
Martin, are you doing a vacade? I'm good, sir. What's up?
So? I just wanting to comment, just put a little bit of
information out there. It was a good point about how you talk about the
truckers in Canada where they shut out the bank accounts. What's coming through this
year is a safe Banking Act. Uh. You know Ron de Santos,
he's kind of you fight against that, but it drives on that good point
that if you're not, you know, locked up with whatever the government's telling
you, they shut down those accounts. Also the good fund Me accounts coming
in and some that in some situations that tell them out in might US donated.
They actually reached even further and shut some of those accounts down in Canada
as well. So I think you'd have a good point, you know,
and the casting people about that whole centralized banking system. Yeah, and you
know, I look, I understand that. Um, you know, there's
there's some folks out there who are uh they'd say, well, I'm gonna
go one hundred percent cash and I you know, I guess you you can
do it. There there are ways to go ahead and do it, and
there are people who do it every day, but it's it's not simple.
So there is a certain convenience to having you know, digital access to your
money, but uh, I think it's more all your eggs in one basket
at this point. But to your point, yes, they they went it
shut. It counts down at individual banks, they stopped go fund me and
one of the other ones. I mean they literally put all the screws to
those folks because they didn't agree with what they were doing. And um,
you know that's Canada. But every time I see Canada or the UK do
something, I just realized that we're just about five years away from it,
maybe less so. Um, well, greatly, I'd appreciate you bring up
that point totally in the middle of the reach out, and they're representative to
say, you know, we can't get point digital can't need it. But
there is a very big concernment that Yeah, all right, all right,
they appreciate the call the morning, thank you very much. So what you
gotta do is you gotta have like, um, you gotta have one of
those big like Scrooge McDuck vaults where that you swim at ross. You have
one, right, you guys have one at the house with all the balloons
and stuff in there. Yeah, just you know, and it's really refreshing
in the morning. Get up, take a swim in. That really kind
of starts your day. But um, you know that's not that's not a
reality for a lot of people. So just saying, gotta gotta diversify and
stuff, all right. Um, So telling you, dude, I saw
this story and I thought, oh, okay, okay, all right,
well this is just an expansion of a TV show in another country, right,
But and that happens all the time. By the way, how many
have you ever liked seen a version of a show that you really really liked
but like was in another country and seen either how different it was, or
in the case of some shows that actually were popular elsewhere and then Hollywood brought
them to the United States. And I'll give you an example one The Office
I think most people realize The Office was a show in the UK prior to
here, because we do. I guess we have a better we have a
better understanding of UK based shows because sometimes they to show UK based shows.
But um, yeah, it was, and it was wildly popular, and
obviously then it came over to here. To the US, it was wildly
popular. How ross, how deep are you guys? By the way now,
because you ross the end of season five? Okay, they Ross and
his wife had not watched it and recently they started watching all of it and
it's one of the best shows ever. It's it's hilarious, yeah, until
you know you're not there yet, so just enjoy yourself. So the idea
that they would then take The Office, albeit years and years later, and
put it in another place, it's a little weird, but okay, all
right, and in this case it's um Australia. However I was and by
the way, for those of you don't know, in the UK, Michael
Scott was Ricky Gervaise, which I've watched a couple episodes because you can find
them online. And Ricky Gervaise is hilarious and and it works. I mean,
obviously there's some specific UK style humor there, if you want to use
that word, but it is what it is. However, in the Australian
version, they've a different direction. They've decided that the Michael Scott, if
you will, is going to be a woman, and you know, and
frankly, I don't need that's not a problem. That's some people would say,
oh, you know, that's that's woke, define what's going on there?
But yeah, but not really, because it's just an office setting and
there is a particular bent that that character has to have. And we talked
about this with the US office where the Michael Scott in the US version,
the first season of Michael Scott is not the version that you see the rest
of the show. They had to tweak his character because he needs to be
a lovable loser to some extent, and there wasn't a lot of lovability there,
so I understand trying to get that right. However, However, I
started reading more about this because I was actually interested. Okay, all right,
they're going to do another one and of course, and maybe this works
in Australia, they've decided to go down the woke route to sell this,
and I am baffled by why they think this needs to be the thing.
And just so you know, by the way, there are thirteen or there
are twelve currently versions of The Office around the world, which I didn't know
until I saw the story yesterday, So this will be the thirteenth. However,
the reasoning, as explained by the producers there is are you ready toxic
masculinity, that's right, toxic masculinity, and also bias in what an office
looks like where there's a man in charge, which is I ronic because uh
ros, you're in the fifth season. Uh is there anything you know about
Michael's boss? Um? Well, he's had several, said several, but
the first one, uh yeah, he had a relationship with her. M
h. The second one was a complete d bag who was happy to see
his come uppance. Yeah, you know it wasn't happy with the Temph's behavior.
Not gonna lie. It was like, you need you need to calm
down, buddy. And now there's a new guy. Yeah. Well,
and he doesn't mess around. Yeah, but but but he answered to a
woman. He answered to jam right, because now he's in his third boss.
His first boss was a female, yes, yeah, and um uh
it was an absolute psycho. Just it and it comes around he needs to
leave her. I hope he gets with Holly. You're like a I can't
believe he should have moved. He should have moved. Oh you're a soap
opera dude. Now. My point is, my point is literally upon the
launch of the show, he answered to a woman for from and and and
where is Michael's any toxic masculinity or inherent racism or any character flaws of Michael
is not portrayed in a positive way. Correct, Right when they're doing the
HR thing, he's a complete idiot. Right when they're doing the hr thing
where they're trying you know where it's the social justice training and he's baking everyone
put you know, cards on their forehead. Right Obviously, obviously there are
a lot of stereotypes that he's that are being played upon there, but it's
shown as he's a he's an idiot. He's an idiot. There's some traces
of possible h he could be a little racist, but you know, he's
got a good heart, you know, right, But but but he's a
complete idiot. But it's not played as a positive Not my point, like
like you know, like, what's her name Indi Kingland. You know,
he's always like, so, how is it like when you lived in India?
Yeah, she's never been to India. So but my point is,
so for you to sit there and decide you're going to do another one and
then have to go woke in why you're doing it, Well, we're doing
this because um uh you know a woman should be in charge. Well yes,
but now she's this is and this is what I'm concerned about. If
if your point of doing this is to make sure that a woman's in charge,
you're gonna have to make her an idiot. And I feel, and
not that I care really what airs down in Australia, but ultimately, are
they going to go so woke where they destroy the character the show if they're
doing it like you know, with modern standards, woke stand is doomed,
it's gonna it's it's dead un arrival, it's dead on a right, I
can't make the show. It's like people always say, you can't make Blazing
Saddles. Again, you can't make the Office if you're going to hold it
to woke standards. It's absolutely impossible. And that's one of the reasons it's
funny because it's not like it doesn't fall that bullcrap. It's funny the moment
you roll out a super confident can do anything she wants, Mary Sue.
If you will female Boss, you destroy the catalyst for basically all of the
other characters, all of the other characters. Ninety nine point nine percent of
what that show launches upon is some stupid thing that Michael's doing, and then
the rest of it is either will Pam and Jim hook up and then messing
with Dwight. That's it, that's the show. All I'm saying is he
needs to get with Holly and Dwight should be running that office. That's all
I'm saying. What do you mean Dwight should be running the He is an
exceptional employee that that office is his life besides the beat farm. Yeah,
he's I don't think he's ever missed a day of work. He carries about
that office so much, and he's he's been the top seller for like ever.
He won. He won two Salesman of the Year awards in one year.
You can't you can't top that. I guess you could get three.
Then they've already made him assistant to the region, right, So it is
he perfect. No, you know, don't let him babysit your cat,
is all I'm saying. However, I think he's a good salesman and he
cares. He's he would be. He might, he might rule with an
iron fist. You know that. I always did what just let me positive
for him. I always did wonder like, how does he ever make a
sale really with his personnelity exactly? It's it is a mystery. But he's
been able to overcome that. So maybe you're so good. I don't know.
Uh so I look forward to seeing that. Yeah. So if you're
if you're running around and you're like, hey, let's do the same pre
marketing that they did with the women Ghostbusters. Good luck with that. Okay,
full disclos Sure, then we can talk about the office for the for
the entire three hours you want to. I could. It's access to day
here at I Heeart Radio. I've heard this due office stuff and then they
got a bunch of stuff. I mean, you should check it out,
but none of it is um you know, copies of the office that I
know of. So all right, anyway, six forty seven case of day
Radio pro Unfortunately, we do have some other stuff we gotta get to.
But uh, we even got dukes of Hazard news kind of sort of maybe
we'll we'll get that in as well. And the update on this FBI document
docier whatever you want to call it. On the Biden crime Family, Um,
I'll tell you what they're saying. Again, everything with a grain of
salt. It's Washington, d C. So hang loose more to come today
only check out iHeartRadio, Access day dot com for endless deals an amazing access
to once in a lifetime experiences. One oh six point one, fam Talk
three News, Real Knock all Right, six fifty four Good Morning Casey Ody
Radio program. So if you remember James Comer Chuck gresson, they were talking
about how they have they got a whistle blower and whistleblowers, I should say,
but also that there is actually an investigative file on the peddling of influence
having to do with Joe Biden's time as vice president and that was going to
be the big reveal. And as I pointed out on the show, when
when that's when they were initially talking about it, I said, you know,
ah, just like Adam Schiff and any of the rest, I don't
care who it is in Washington. Which side of the aisle Um show don't
tell? Okay, because I don't. I don't trust any of you cats.
Either you're just trying to fundraise or you're being less than honest, and
then it turns into a nothingburger. Not that I don't believe that that absolutely
was something that was going on. I think everything that we've seen shows that
there was absolutely influence pedaling for tons and tons of money, crazy money.
The question is does it extend to Biden? Is their proof? I believe
that it probably does, And according to a recent Rasmussen poll, fifty three
percent of Americans believe it does. So the majority of Americans believe that Joe
Biden benefited in that in that sense. But you still got to have the
proof. So they were all getting ready to do this. It was going
to be the big day, and then the FBI said, now you can't
have we we're not They basically didn't respond, So it left a little in
the air that this thing even existed. Well that's not really in the air
anymore, but we still don't know what the contents are, you know,
because you could do an investigation and find that there wasn't and you'd still have
a document on it. Well, Christopher Ray did confirm a file containing quote
allegations of a criminal bribery scheme involving Joe Biden does exist. In a statement
released following a discussion with Ray, House Oversight Chairman James Comer said the FBI
leader offered to allow lawmakers to see the document and FBI headquarters, but won't
actually give it to Congress, So the subpoena fight continues because that's the direction
they went this week. Quote. We have been clear that anything short of
producing the documents for House Oversight is not in compliance with the subpoena, said
Comer. If the FBI fails to hand over the form is required by the
subpoena, the House Oversight Committee will begin contempt of Congress proceedings. Trying to
remember the FBI's issue was basically, it's still an act of investigations. He
can't see it. The problem is nobody trusts the FBI. I shouldn't say
nobody. People with brain cells, you know, cells being two that they
can rub together or more, shouldn't trust the FBI at this point. Just
my two cents. So yeah, the problem is then you have to kind
of have to trust Congress, so damned if you do, damned if you
don't. But there is something. There is a document of some sort.
What it show. It could show that, no, everything's fine, or
could show more than that. So that's the latest up eight there. That
was a little something from yesterday. And we'll see but again, show don't
tell. I'm waiting, so hustle up. Kids. Alrighty, good morning
everybody. It is seven oh six here on the case O Day Radio program.
Phone numbers. We kick off our number two eight eight, eight nine,
three four, seven, eight seventy four. I got some audio on
the on the Biden style ball. Get here in just a moment for y'all.
Oh wait, hold on, Cross, is he wanting to defend Dwight.
We've got to do an office discussion too. See down in Australia they're
doing their own version of the office, and um except the you know,
the current office is filled with toxic masculinity and and uh, why isn't there
a woman in charge? And all that? The pride and so that's what
they're gonna do. And I'm it's not it's not an issue of having a
woman be the Michael Scott character. Um, obviously you know that was Steve
Carrell and in the UK version, which was the first one, it was
Ricky Gervais. But even I mean over here we had parks and rec right,
Amy Amy Poehler, Right, it was sort of like, you know,
she was a female version of that sort of But but the character has
to be an idiot with flaws, right kind of. Um, you know,
lovable loser kind of thing like that's that's how that works. And um,
and so if you've decided what we're going to do this, because so
you're just your your your gender swapping a character, which again I don't think
anyone objects to. You can if if the right actor or actress is in
that role and plays it right, then it works. It doesn't, It
doesn't matter what's between their legs. However, when you're telling me the reason
you're doing this is because you know the patriarchy, then I have to assume
also that you want that character to be awesome and maybe in ways the detract
from what that character is meant to do in the show. So I don't
know, we'll find out, but Ross wants to white to run everything,
and I think that would be ending. I think does he have his flaws?
Yes, but is he a good employee. He's an exceptional employee.
He's the greatest salesman in that office. The man could sell paper. I
don't know how you'll buy the paper. You would say the paper, buy
it, buy it, stopping a coward buy the paper. I imagine that's
what is what his what he does? He's just does that? Does that
sound like a successful sit So can you imagine being on the back end of
the sales like we are right right? Read Read the copy? Read the
copy, Read the freaking copy? Yeah, wait, is there copy?
I haven't seen the copy yet. Oh wow? Okay, all right,
well you haven't seen the copy. What are you gonna do? Is ppo?
Do we know how? All right? We'll hold on so many of
us to comment on this. Yes, Ronnie, what's up? Hey,
good morning morning, Thanks for thanks for having me back. As far as
d O truth goes, I think maybe he was such a good salesman because
you gotta remember, kept the potato gun by his desk. You're gonna buy
the paper or you're gonna get the potato masher? What do you want?
I mean it sounds like we're rhyme sir, that's yeah, sale tax.
Yeah, I would say, is that a real quick question? I mean
maybe real quick? Yeah, Okay. I did go looking at what you
were talking about at the beginning of last hour, and the only thing I
said on was an article by someone from Shark Tank talking about the problem with
real estate and the and the regional and small banks are dealing with. And
she didn't talk about what you're talking about. But am I connecting the wrong
dots to state that there's no way they're not disconnected somehow? I don't know.
I don't know that that's necessarily it was so for those of you who
are just joining us, I was pointing out the yesterday and it really doesn't
impact Thanks for the call there, Ronnie. I appreciate it. It doesn't
really impact people in North Carolina very much because they don't operate in North Carolina.
But US Bank, which is the fifth largest bank, was literally down
for hours yesterday. And I don't mean like the app wasn't working. I
mean the app online banking. People walking into branches couldn't withdraw money, people
at ATMs couldn't withdraw I know this because I still have one of my accounts
as a US Bank account because it's my main bill pay account. It was
just too much of a pain. And I like to keep a couple different
accounts because I'm paranoid. And it just so happened that it was yesterday,
the last day of the month, which is payday or one of the paydays
for a lot of people. And it's also the day when all of my
automatic payments go out, so like, it's the day that Netflix gets paid,
it's the day that Duke Energy gets their money, that at and T
gets my cell phone money, all of it. And in the afternoon,
I just started getting all of these declined, decline, declined, and I'm
like, well, what happened? And I can't even I can't even.
I the only reason I know there's money in there is because yesterday was a
payday here, and I did get direct deposit confirmation in the mornings for that
account and for my other bank and all that stuff, so I know how
much went in there, and obviously it was more than enough. And so
I started looking into it. And what baffled me was like US Bank wasn't
telling anybody anything. They didn't post anything on their social media. People were
on Twitter were like I'm at a Chilis, I just ate and now he
can't pay because you couldn't run You couldn't run a debit or maybe you could
run a credit I didn't try the US Bank credit card, but the debit
card wasn't working, nothing, nothing, for hours and hours. And it
just reinforced that point that all of these people who want to go like all
digital, the ease at which they can absolutely disrupt your life. And then
the thoughts wandered to the Trucker protest in Canada when they literally like locked bank
accounts for people, made it so they couldn't get money from like Venmo,
PayPal, go fund Me's, any of it, and that level of control.
So and I'm always baffled, And I don't know, maybe it's as
you get younger, I see more of this. This isn't me picking on
generations, because it's a lot of people in my generation too, Like I'm
constantly baffled by people don't keep cash on them and not just a little bit
of cash, but you know, and and you know, don't walk around
with a bag full of money, but um, you know enough cash that
if you know, the crap hits the fan for a few days you're gonna
be okay, and possibly even more, but we're not gonna get into that.
But um, yeah, yeah, that was that was bonkers. And
and even though I, you know, I ascertained what was going on,
and they had said that they were doing an update last weekend and obviously that
had problems. Um, you know, people were just high and dry.
But there's a lot of people that I know that they never have cash on
them, never have cash, just run around. Everything's on a card.
Everything's on like, you know, you got a two dollar transaction at a
store card, whereas I'm inclined to generally do cash for stuff like that.
And so that's half of it. And then the other half was nobody was
reporting on it. You had I looked it up. They have twelve million
customers in the US. You had twelve million people in the United States who
potentially didn't have access to any of their money for a good part of a
day. That is one of the days where people generally do a lot of
banking. End of the month, right ahead of the first got money for
rent, you're paying your bills, you're drawn out, whatever cash you want
to have on hand. They couldn't do any of it, and the media
didn't seem to care, and I saw people tagging at all the media,
and then I didn't see any reporting on it. And I don't know if
it's because it makes Biden look bad or they're concerned that they could contribute to
a bank run or something. I don't know, but from what I saw
people reacting to on Twitter, this is why platforms like Twitter are important,
other than because initially I went to Downdetector and of course it showed that,
yeah, things are haywire. I went to US banks social media. There's
nothing on there. I went and looked in the regular you know stories,
didn't see anything. I have to go and look at individual users on Twitter
so I'm able to get a scope of what's going on people's experiences, and
folks were like, people are having lunch, they go to pay for their
lunch and they can't pay. What do you tell that restaurant? Sorry?
US Banks having problems was baffling to me, A very informative of baffling,
and I just thought it was a good reminder. Even if most of you
probably don't or have never done business with US Bank, it could be any
bank doesn't not just that one. And so you know, screw everyone who
wants to go all digital on this stuff. All right, So I mentioned
the comber talking about how the FBI is confirmed there is a document on a
h An investigation on quote criminal bribery scheme involving Joe Biden. But maybe it
clears him, maybe it damns him. I don't I don't know, but
this is what they want in the FBI is like, now, we're not
going to give it to you. So now they're saying that the members of
Congress can go look at it, the drive over to FBI headquarters. You
know what all that intended. That's not good enough according to the Oversight Committee.
So we'll see. Now. What was interesting though yesterday was in a
press conference. So in this case you have, um, the New York
Post reporter Stephen Nelson, and his beat is the Pentagon. I've always said
that when it comes to Washington, d C. Pressers, there's the White
House one and then the second one is the Pentagon one as far as where
things happen of importance, where you never know what you're gonna get. And
retired Admiral John Kirby is the spokesperson there at the Pentagon. So anyway,
they got him up there. Stephen Nelson is asking him and he brings up
the pole and I said, Rasmussen's actually Harvard Harris. A new poll indicating
that over half of all Americans fifty three percent, believe that Biden was involved
in an illegal influence pedaling scheme. And what baffles me on this is how
Kirby didn't see this coming. Just I mean, listen to this guy be
rendered speechless. Developments in the House investigation into the First family's international business dealings
recently, there's one committee trying to get an FBI bile alleging that President Biden
took bribes. There's another i RS whistle blower who's a legend. There's a
cover up an investigation the middle of this. There was a Hardard Harris hold
this month that found that fifty three percent of the public, including a fourth
of Democrats, believe quote Joe Biden was involved with his son in an illegal
influenced pedaling scheme. There's, of course, evidence that the president interacted with
his relatives associates from China, Mexico, Kazistan, Russia, and Ukraine.
So what do you say to the majority of Americans who believed that the president
is himself corrupt. Wow, yes, we impause the audio president the president.
The president spoken to this. The president has spoken to this, and
there's nothing to these claims. And as for the whistle blower issue that you
talked about and the document, I believe the FBI has spoken to that and
you're gonna have to go to them on that. All right. So there's
a few takeaways here, not just John Kirby not having any answer, but
do you hear his colleagues, do you hear the people around him? The
other reporters correct me if I ross, I don't know if you have the
same thing. Do they sound like they're annoyed that this guy asked that question?
Yeah, and they're doing the thing they did like during the campaign,
right where they've done the past or like, hey, what's up with this
laptop here? And then the go to is, oh, that's been debunked,
and then that's the answer. And then you have idiots like you know,
clap it, like seals in the in the press corps that are like,
you know, they're just falling like, oh, it's been debunked,
and you can't just say something's been debunked to make it debunked, right,
they say the president denied it, that's fine, but there's so much evidence
in the other direction, right, And this is why the reporters bring it
up, like, hey, what about all this? And you're like,
put the president so there's nothing to it, okay, And I expect John
Kirby to say that, you know what I'm saying, he's a spokeshole pointed
by this pred I expect that, mister Dahmer, we found all these people
in these barrels of acid in your apartment. This man's like, it's just
pieces. I've already commented on this. It's been to bunks. They're in
the barrels. His colleagues though, his colleagues sitting around there, and it's
like this weird peer pressure thing, right, It's like they're all they're annoyed
that he bought it up. That's what irritates me more than anything. Yeah,
and he's great, And it's everything that they're saying that the previous administration
was doing. Right, It's a constant what do you call it, the
deflection whatever, Like hey, yeah, we're doing it, so we're gonna
claim you do it, and then you we're not going to be investigated because
the press is on our side. And and maybe that's why he was so
baffled by it. He's like, oh my gosh, somebody, somebody,
somebody actually brought it up. The hell's going on. I thought it was
gonna be an easy day of just doing nothing around here. And it's not
the first time, by the way, where we've had audio with Kirby where
um, I can't remember what it was, what the topic was, where
that like the Press Corps was pushing back on a reporter. So you got
a bunch of moonbats over on the Pentagon beat man. They were pushing back
on the reporter for asking a question, not even letting Kirby do it.
It was crazy. So he asked a poll question, which is exactly the
kind of question that you saw asked a thousand times of Trump right, or
of Trump's people, even of the what did what did Trump call her milk
toast milktoast mcininny or any of the predecessors there. So yeah, yeah,
that that whole thing. Man. I'm sitting there watching that and a lot
of people are like, look, he's speechless. I'm like, what the
hell's with the colleagues that have not only have no interest in the answer,
they're mad that the question was asked. All right, anyway, seven twenty
two k c O Day Radio Program. Um, well, let's say,
obviously we gotta take a break. When we come back. We got goose
news to scientists, stuff, you name it all coming up. Hang on
Joe, six point one FM Talk, real news, real talk. All
right, seven twenty seven here on the CaCO Day Radio program. Pretty short
segment here we got to talk sports betting too. Now that a key vote
has taken place in North Carolina, looks like it's moving forward. I did
see people were objecting to it and some testimony. I get. I get
that there are people that have addiction to it. I truly do. But
well, anyway, I'll lay out a few things. We'll get into that.
Much more coming up here on the k c O Day Radio program.
Hang on on a six point one ft Maam talk, Real news, real
talk. So good morning, get a seven thirty six you're on the case
O Day Radio program. Just give me a little peek behind the curtain.
Um. One of the things that fills up my inbox. And um,
they they the smart ones. Time it to during the day part, meaning
you know, while the show's going on, are very close to it is
pitches for interviews by UM, you know, pub publicity people. Right.
So generally, if you're a semi if you're somebody wants to be higher profile
and you want to be one of the talking heads on radio or TV,
you hire an agent UM and then they send out mass press releases trying to
and and they they put story pitches in there and then they attach whoever their
clients are to it. And I respond to zero of them, but I
do glance at them from time to time because occasionally there's a story. But
there's one lady what was her name, Stephanie. I was put her first
name here. I don't want you guys blowing her up. But she hers
are at least interesting because she will go her niche is she's she'll go and
she'll find all of these various studies and surveys and stuff that are out there,
you know, the weird stuff here on the news, and then she'll
attach clients of hers in an interview pitch. And from time to time,
I've just taken the story, put it in the stack, and I never
I never use her guests. So but um, so I was just scanning
the one I got this morning, and so there's like five different studies in
here, and m one of them is that Harvard Harris poll U that we
talked about where fifty three percent of Americans believe that Joe Biden was involved in
some influence peddling. So you know, that's that's the standard stuff. But
then it gets to the weird h Cason point. Here's a study and I
the expert. Who's the expert on this? It's a it's somebody who's in
the funeral But now, why is somebody in the funeral business whatever? Apparently
they own one of the largest collections of funeral homes in the Greater Los Angeles
area. So a survey says that one in eight men have brought a condom
to a funeral. Just in case, who does that study? Who thinks,
hey, we need to do this, we need to we need to
know what the true number is, and then sits down and does it.
That's the stuff that baffles me. And then some guy is going to come
on the radio and talk about it. No thanks, But then there's this
one, and I'm not saying they should get the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
But holy cow, So scientists I use the term loosely here. I mean,
I'm sure they all have degrees. What is this science? Okay?
So this is This is something that was actually published in the Plastic and Reconstructive
Surgery Journal, which is apparently the big journal for plastic surgeons. Scientists set
out to determine what makes the perfect breast bosom. How do they do it?
They gathered over one thousand Wait, hold on, what's the number.
I want to be very accurate here. They gathered one thousand and twenty one
women and then evaluated, you know, what's going on there to try to
cobble together an assessment that will say that this is the best that's out there.
So these guys, these scientists figured out that they could not only receive
funding, but spend days and months and I don't know how long it took
him to do this, just staring at topless women and all they had to
do was write a report when they were done. Genius. Do you think
at that do you think at that point you're kind of sick of them?
Right? Do you think you ever come home from a long day at the
office, like if you're one of the I'm assuming that these are men,
most of them. If I could just make this do you ever come home
and your wife's say, hey, how are you doing? You know,
get a little flirty, and you're like, I just can all day,
all day I've been doing And then do you even tell her what you're doing?
By the way it work? Rost do you think you're just sick of
them at the end of the day after one thousand and twenty one participants on
this grading scale, or probably you know, I don't think so. Yeah,
you feel I think you need to do more research to be honest,
because you want to be thorough. I mean, so you know what,
Yeah, that's a that's a very good point. You need multiple studies so
you can peer review each other. Right, what did some guys just like
all right, So here's what we're gonna do. Here's our grand proposal.
We're gonna stare at um, We're gonna stare at topless women all day?
How many like ten? No no, no, no, no, more
like like a hundred no no no no, no no more and more more?
Like we need we need a really good sample size. So let's get
a thousand or more and and and boom, they get a thousand and twenty
one participants and and they're you know, they're they're taking notes, right or
they're writing something on their pads, who the hell knows. And then they
there's the pitches for a cosmetic surgeon. Anyway, So I just saw that
where is it? Is? This from New York University? H scientists gathered
the um the participants, let's see. I'm just trying to figure out what
they And it's funny because I think there's a story here on the New York
Post about it, except all the pictures of the best ones are all blurred.
Why would you include the pictures? I don't you know what I I
don't. I don't feel like I can read all the qualifications here. But
they were. They were rated based on contour, poll fullness and perk ah
craziness. Man, that's somebody's job. That's like, you know, that
reminds me of It reminds me of those stories that we do where police or
I have just rated a strip club that they had been surveilling for like what
a year and a half, right, because you know, it was prostitution
going on, or somebody was selling drugs there and like after an eight month
investigation by undercover officers at the Gentleman's Club. And it's like, really took
you eight months? So you had to get up for work every day and
go down to the the you know, the the Gentleman's Club every day for
eight months so you could you could infiltrate the place. But she needed eight
months. I don't know, man, Like my home got broken into months.
I think they spent a day on it. But no, you got
you found the guy who was selling meth or whatever at the at the Gentleman's
Club. Good for you. So anyway, all right eight eight, eight,
nine, three four seven, eight seventy four, why do you got
to ruin it? Sir? Don't ruin this. Let me just send me
an email. Were they all technically women or was it Ben? Who were?
You know what? I don't know and I don't care. Just let
me have my my fun for a few minutes. Okay, I don't know.
You'll read the study if you want. I mean, maybe to your
question, possibly it is you know, New York universe, and they wouldn't
want to discriminate obviously, so because you know, everyone's super woke in academia.
But I don't know the answer to your question. All right, let
me do that. Oh and then I was gonna get in the gambling thing.
Well, let me do this. Let's grab race agent from the Weather
Channel. First, dude, I'm telling you we got the wrong job.
So it's this something you just discovered. No no, no, no,
no no, but hear me out. Are you ready for this science?
And so researchers at New York University set out to determine what is the best
what are the best? And that best is obviously very open term set of
breasts. And so they gathered one thousand and twenty one women and then they
grated whatever they were packing. So they spent months staring at topless women and
then wrote a report on it and got paid for it. That's the gig.
That's the clouds and sunshine today. I'm just saying, man, I
just somebody had to think that up, and then somebody funded that, and
then somebody published that payers dollars. Right, those clouds look like boobs.
Yeah, that's yeah, that's a good point. Ross if you look at
the clouds and when they look like they look like hoots. So somebody gonna
do chesticles chesticles in the sky so well, I guess there could be worst
jobs like here we are, right, I've no I looked. We got
a good gig. I mean, I listen, it's it's I love it.
Twenty twenty seven years last week, by the way, um yeah,
so but if you've got a topless woman next to the doppler just saying,
just saying thanks anyway, we're camp appreciate it. Yeah, go ahead,
thank you appreciate it. Yeah. Yeah. And luckily the doppler won't be
all that active the next few days. It's more miss than hit on any
kind of rainfall hit miss showers today and tomorrow, upper seventies, maybe some
low eighties around, and the weekend looks pretty good. Lots of sunshine Saturday,
a little more cloud on Sunday. We'll cool off a little bit with
the front coming in. UM mid upper eighties on Saturday, than load of
mid seventies on Sunday. So a little cool, with some fifties at nights.
So pretty pleasant and most of the next week. Actually drive a mile
two. When I went a little bit further ahead, Casey, I said,
oh, let me see what's gonna happen in the next six to ten
days and there really isn't a bunch of rain in the forecast, so I
think we're getting into a more dry than wet weather pattern that's going to stick
around for maybe a week or two. In the Tropics, first Dave hurricane
season today. There is an invest area now in the Gulf of Mexico ninety
one. L really not forecasts development anything with a name. That would be
Arlene. That's the a storm, but heavy rain in and around that center
and influencing the rain in Florida, which has been heavy. There's a flow
to watch in South Florida. Blah blah blah. But hey, we're gonna
have some of the nicest weather around. Um. You know, I'll be
biased because I am baseball fans out there. INCAA tournament starts tomorrow evening in
Clemson. The weather should be great all weekend and I'll be heading up for
either the winner. Shouldn't have brought that up here, sorry, you know
the host job that happened in North Carolina, right, I don't so.
One of the top teams in the country is Campbell, which is a small
university just south to Raleigh, Okay, and every other top six, the
top sixteen teams all got a home. You're right, they're they're a host
for the opening of the tournament. Campbell got hosed, they don't get to
host, and Labburn got jammed in there because the NC double as so all
over the SEC ran Yeah yeah, yeah, so they have to go to
South Carolina. They're gonna play NC State. Oh but but yeah, they
got completely jobs by the Yeah, Campbell University. All right, well,
I'm gonna I'll follow them. Campbell's Camels. I think they're the Camels,
Yeah, Camels. Who's up? And lip the Clemson plays lips lips Comb.
I've never even heard of them. Lips Comb. I've heard of them
only because I think they made the basketball tournament one time and I had to
look up with thers. So we'll see whether it's, you know, for
for baseball in the Southeast this weekend. It's gonna beautiful. So okay,
all right, well there you go, Thank you, sir, appreciate it.
We'll talk about now, okay, all right, seven forty eight Casey
Oda Radio Program. Hang on one oh six point one FM Talk, Real
News, Real Talk. All right. Seven fifty three Good Morning Body Radio
program. Thanks for hanging out with us SO. In North Carolina, a
bill that would bring about legalized sports betting has passed a key vote in the
state Senate. As you can imagine, there is a lot of debate.
There are people opposed to it, people folks who do want it. Obviously
there's a tax revenue angle there which government folks love. That being said,
some of the objections. Let's see here, let's see one of the people
speaking out Clifford Zinner, whose son actually died. This is from ABC eleven,
who died on his journey to be gambling addiction. He said that his
son started gambling in high school, uh, sports only, but then that
led to alcohol abuse and eventually a fentanyl overdose in March. You know,
I look, I understand that there are you know, there are people with
addictive personalities, which I which I frankly I don't even like that terminology,
uh, because I think it undercuts really what what drives people, and I
within my family, we've dealt with various aspects of addiction. That being said,
UM, fentanyl is not legal. Sports gambling is uh technically not legal
in North Carolina, but the availability is out there, and UM, you
know, one of the things we're talking about is medical marijuana here in North
Carolina and yeah beyond. I don't know where I come down with a lot
of this stuff because I'm very libertarian on things. I just I just any
anything out there, I just I don't necessarily know that I need government all
up in the business. However, if government is making it illegal and there
are possible penalties, then they're up in the business. Because people say,
well, now government's getting into the business of sports betting, Well, they're
already in the business. They're in the business of saying that it's illegal,
or they're getting in the business of marijuana. They're already in the business of
saying it's illegal. So I tend to take that more libertarian approach to these
things. But I completely understand what folks go through. We we went through
a addiction within my family where the individual I mean multiple it took multiple shots
at rehab and thankfully it's now been well over a decade and everything's going great.
But uh, it was, it was expensive, it was stressful,
it was it was it was very hard on everybody. Um but you know,
you put in the work and you do what you gotta do, So
I get that. However, if somebody wants to bet on a sports game
in North Carolina. Um, it's really easy. It's really easy. And
so you know, um letting people do something that inherently really has no impact
in in this sense, it has no impact from a A If I want
to bet Ross, tonight is what tonight? Right? Is the NBA Finals
first game, I think, not that I'm probably even gonna watch, but
Denver and Miami. Right, So if Ross and I want to make a
bet and Ross has Denver and I have Miami, and um, although I'd
want it the other way and we want to bet ten dollars, I don't
know that that's government's business, you know what I'm saying. So there's that,
and uh, you know, I'll be straight because I've talked about it
here on the show. I enjoy that. I do enjoy betting on sports,
but I don't. But I'm a woos. I don't bet a lot
of money. It's just like little little little things. But I know some
guys that go crazy on that stuff. And I'm like, yeah, that
sounds horrible, that sounds horrible how much money you're betting. I just it's
just it's like an interest thing. It's like the fantasy football aspect of it.
So you know, should there be a way to do that in North
Carolinashia, government be out of the way and I'd be able to do business
with um, you know a company who wants to do it, and it's
on the up and up. I don't know that I'm necessarily I'm curious what
you think though, And you know, I feel for this guy who obviously
saw a whole host of addictive items tragically reach out and take his son from
him. But um, I don't know. I think they still need to
make it happen. Just my two cents eight eight, eight nine, three
four seven eight seventy four. Very curious what you think they should do,
because it looks like it may be happened. All right, Good morning everybody.
It is eight o seven here on the k c O Day radio program.
So, just because I hate when entertainment outlets, mediums all that good
stuff, they do this and then you know, they make a change.
They don't tell you stuff, even though you guys assume that even when we
tell you're on vacation, we all got fired and we're not telling you if
we got fired. Do you ever want to know if we got fired.
Try to go to the website and if all of our stuff's gone, then
you know, Okay, that's that's a good Indicatorum. Normally we chat with
Mark Walker. But here's the rub um. Mark Walker is now a declared
candidate for governor, and I know he was before last week, but there
is um, there is a concept. I'm not gonna get the legally ease
part of it because I'm not a lawyer. I don't think Ross. Would
you check, Ross, gonna check real quick see if I'm a lawyer.
I don't think I am. But let me check. No, you're not
not a lawyer. Okay, all right, But it comes down to equal
time, is what you hear. Although even and I found most candidates also
don't understand how it works. Equal time is not a thing in the way
that people think it is. However, conceptually it's still kind of a guiding
light in how we do stuff. All right. So again, this is
not legal advice. So if I had Mark on to talk about his favorite
kinds of butterflies, that would be fine, right, and we're not getting
But if I get into things that are campaigny kind kind of stuff, then
you start running into an issue now with Mark, A lot of it was,
you know, about the mechanisms and stuff of the you know, the
inner workings of Congress, having you know, him having spent multiple terms up
there in Congress. But now that he's running for governor and he doesn't hold
a current elected office where I can talk about current elected stuff like we do
with Mark Robinson. Even though you see how messy this gets real quick,
but I wanted to be honest with you because I know there's some people that
enjoy the weekly conversations that I have with Mark, and for right now,
that's that's how that is. And we did have him on last week after
he declared, but then it was newsworthiness. You see what I'm saying,
which is kind of an exception to it. It's fun, which means basically,
now I got a prep for you know, extra twenty minutes of content,
whereas Ross and I didn't have to before and we could just sit around
be lazy and then just make art fill it. So really, really we're
the ones impacted here. We have to work. It's true, we are
the true victims here. Yeah, I just say it's you know, we
need we need uh some sort of reparations or something. I don't know,
man pay us or at least some Olive Garden gift cards or something. I
don't know. Uh, but yeah, so that's what's up with that,
because I just I hate it when people don't say anything as to what's going
on. Um well, sometimes you can't, but in this case we can.
And I'm telling you that's what's up. So, Uh, everything's messy.
Everything's messy. But um, it's campaign season. It's so messy that
like literally campaigns or spine on other campaigns. How do I know? So
did you watch the insanity with like the Desantists, the Desantists U spy thing.
Okay, so Twitter right now between Trump and DeSantis, people's bonkers.
I if frankly, if you can avoid it, I would recommend. But
like like the Babylon Bee guy that got canned the other day, that was
the big story for a while. Basically one of the Babylon be guys is
a super Trump guy and he got into it with Christina Pershaw and I'm not
I'm I'm I'm not gonna because I don't even I don't know that I know
the totality of it. But basically he got into it with uh DeSantis's campaign's
spokeswoman who used to be the governor spokeswoman but she transitioned to the campaign and
it was a very kurt conversation. And then the guy who's the who started
to be the boss over there, he got in on it and they went
back and forth, and he fired the guy, but he said, there's
some other stuff. So it's like people are digging in in these two camps.
Well, one of the guys who's a big Trump guy out on Twitter,
who's who really kind of started that head back and forth. He was
posting about how members of the Santiss team are leaking details and audio of private
strategy sessions, and so that started this whole thing online. But what really
happened is it was it was part of a larger event, though it was
not event open to the press or public, so it was there was some
air of secrecy there somebody who is and I don't know, I'm not going
to get into where their loyalties lie. People are saying that the guy is
a Trump guy, but it doesn't matter if he's Mike Pence Chris Christie,
who are both expected to announce. By the way, guy the fact is
somebody from an opposition campaign pretended to be a superdnor and basically I don't know
if they figured out that the guy wasn't going to be there and they just
like got his name tag or how he got in there, but somebody from
another campaign went in infiltrated into santis event which was supposed to be a private
event. Along the lines of that event meant Romney did where video emerged of
the you know, the forty seven percent or whatever, and they and they
use that on him and then leaked it so that a narrative could be out
there that DeSantis's team has fallen apart in leaking information. Oh yeah, it's
everything's bonkers out there right now, and it's just going to get nastier and
nastier. And yes, now Mike Pence is expected getting Chris Christie, who
I don't understand what's going on here, Chris Christie. Chris Christie is flowing
the idea of getting in the former New Jersey governor and his hype man is
Hoerldo Rivera. Why, I guess would be my question, why on God's
green Earth would Chris Christie think that he's And by the way, do you
remember do you remember the pictures in the video of Chris Christie on stage with
Trump back in the day, Remember he was he was Trump's boy for a
while and then that fell apart. But it was like Trump like abuse that
dude, made him look like an idiot. And I know they're like,
oh, well, he has the bridge thing. Most people don't live in
New Jersey or New York don't care about the bridge thing anyway. But like,
I don't understand what the net benefit is other than to maybe bring his
profile up, which I think is why a lot of these cats run.
Get the profile up, and maybe, you know, parlay that into some
sort of media gig or maybe somehow, some way you're able to fundraise and
you transfer enough money to the eventual winning candidate that you get a position of
some sort. But yeah, Caeralda Rivera tweeting yesterday, Chris Christie is a
badass. Remember he was Godzilla in New Jersey before he got trash and the
big bridge tobacle. He's going to have an impact on the early race and
beyond. Yeah, again, Heraldo's New York guys, So the bridge thing.
Most people don't care. They remember Chris Christie is looking like an idiot
on stage with Trump and that picture of him and his wife sitting on the
beach when all the beaches were closed, just lounging around. And basically,
if you just make a campaign add out of that, who they're going to
destroy him. But yeah, more and more people getting in, That's what
we're finding out. Both Mike Pence and Chris Christie expected to announce that they're
getting into the GOP presidential primary race. So we will see. All right,
I'm curious what you think of this. Oh here we go. Oh
well, and then also just real quick on the Mic Pence thing for a
switchover, what is Mike Pence doing? Now? Trump's already said that if
he gets the nomination, Pence is not his dude, does Mike Pence?
I mean, I, yes, I understand he was vice president of the
United States? I get that. What is the what is the what does
Mike Pence think he has from a momentum standpoint? Because he really he didn't
get momentum rolling even when he was the vice president or the vice president nominee
during the Trump term or the Trump election in twenty sixteen. I just I
don't know that he has the gravitas to get up there and sit. But
who knows, maybe, and you don't look you don't have to be the
upper echelon to have the personality to do it. Tim Scott is a good
example. Have you ever watched Tim Scot. I've seen him speak live before.
Tim Scott's great and uh he's you know, fire as they say,
a smart dude. Yeah, like I I get that. I get why.
There may be some appeal there with Tim Scott and it'll be interesting to
see where it goes. Asa Hutchinson, Yeah, I mean he was a
governor, got it? Nikki Hayley, Larry Elder, I mean he's radio
guy. So a lot of radio guys think they should be a politic because
you're just adjacent to it. And I gotta be honest, man, I
want nothing to do with it. And the guy I enjoy watching, especially
when he goes on like MSNBC is what's his name of the vecu Ramaswamy who's
like literally a scientist and was being like cut down by Chuck Todd or somebody
on one of the shows and it's like no, no, no, dude,
I literally this is my field. They were just all disrespecting, he's
entertaining at least. But yeah, so it's shape it up. I don't
know if we'll get to sixteen again, which is what Trump was up against
during the twenty sixteen election, but if you remember how insane it was,
I just want you to know that we are well on our way to that
same level of insanity. Between that and the crazy memes that are out there,
we're getting into this thing, all right. Eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. You want to be on the show, That's
how you make it happen when we come back. Here's what I want to
talk about. The State of New York. And this has been proposed in
North Carolina and many other states is pushing through what is known as the Clean
Slate Act. And I got to tell you, I'm kind of torn on
this. I'm kind of torn. But this is one of those bills that
is is a party bill, Big labor likes it. So you have Democrats
in many many states wanting to do this, and you even have some Republicans
wanting to do this. But I don't know, because um, they're having
to really slice and dice um how they're how they are assigning who will or
won't be allowed to avail themselves of the bill. It's a little mysterious,
but I'll lay it all out for you. I'll do it next here on
the CACODAY radio program, Real News, Real Talk, A Good Morning,
A twenty three here on the CACODA radio program. And we got a little
taste of this in North Carolina. And then obviously there was some rulings with
the Supreme Court here and then some re rulings, But basically it's you know,
what do you do with folks? I think actually we've made a little
mention this yesterday based on another story. What do you do with folks who
go, you know, commit a crime, get convicted, go to jail,
go to prison, I should say, and eventually get out. I
am. I am very much aware of these struggles. And some people would
say, look, those struggles are part of you going out and deciding to
commit crimes, and to some extent, I get that, right, But
also if you don't want people to be recidivous, and it's it's it's so
difficult for them to come out and actually make an honest living, right,
there has to be a fine line there, Uh, Those those folks who
may have a skill set that allows them to think that they're going to get
away with crime, even though they didn't that one time, may be inclined
to commit more crime. So you try to think it through as an exercise
in uh, you know, how do we decrease criminal activity within society,
which you know, arguably that's going to be a net benefit for everybody,
right, less crimes, that's a good thing. In the debate is always
how do we get there? So I am sympathetic to people come out and
find a lot of opportunities closed off to them, which in many cases makes
sense. Right, if you have you committed some big financial crime, you
probably shouldn't be running the books, you know, uh, you know,
handling a bunch of money somewhere. And I also understand why business owners would
want to be armed with that information. The story we did yesterday was of
the insane uh woman who was screaming at our fellow board member in Seattle because
they were trying to nominate a homeless dude who was also a sex offender to
be on the homeless Advisory Board. I think he was gonna he was gonna
be like the head of it, and he had raped children. And also,
according to the woman who was objecting who brought it up, he sexually
assaulted her in some way, shape or form, and the other board members
start screaming about equity. It was bonkers, bonkers, Audio Shane, No,
they need housing two and they all of this, and it's like,
well, you know, if you're multip you've raped multiple children, I have
some housing options for you. You're not gonna like them, but maybe not
sharing a board is a good thing. So in with all of that said,
states are figuring out what they're going to do. We had our own
thing in North Carolina. We're figuring out when does the restoration of voting rights
become okay? And it is it when you get out? Is it when
you've paid all your fines, done all your probation, And that debate rages
on. In New York, a new bill called clean Late would seal criminal
records for the vast majority of crimes, for both misdemeanors and felonies once the
x cons serve their time, and that would include murder. So somebody could
go to prison for murder, get out, and after completing their sentence they
would be able to seal it off. So nobody, with some exceptions,
would have access to it. The majority of employers wouldn't have access. Now,
the exceptions would be for ironically, some law enforcement courts, prosecutors,
schools, and uber ubers I guess what, the murder driving the uber and
a few others. However, they're debating like which crimes would would they even
have access to? Now? I believe sex crimes would be ineligible, so
those would stay out there. And and but they're going to do this thing.
They're just hammering out what it's gonna look like. But you know,
the argument is if some guy went to jail because he got did something dumb
when he was twenty three and he's thirty, now should that be something an
employer can look at in making a hiring decision. And obviously many employers are
like, yeah, we should be in the unions that you shouldn't be.
So my question is, well we'll dive into it. Hang on on only
six point one FM Talk, Real news, Real talk, all right,
eight thirty six, Good morning Cacoda radio program. All right, real quick,
let me in then, well get some phone calls. Yeah, so
up in New York, this clean slate hack looks like it's going to go
through. They're just arguing which you know, which offenses are going to be
in there and which aren't. But basically, once you do, once you
do your time, then it's not going to show up anymore. Ironically,
of course, it will show up for law enforcement purposes, but if an
employer tries to do any sort of background or that, the problem is,
I don't know how you're going to control the internet right or the you know,
any of the mug shot sites like that. Stuff's still going to be
out there, but I guess it won't officially. The problem is, according
to some employers, is they want they want full access. They want full
access, and it would include also not showing people who've been convicted of murder
if they've done their time, and I, you know, I don't know,
I don't know. I do find it interesting though, because I'll bet
traffic tickets are still in there for my insurance company to look at. I
see that's not part of this, but I digress, all right, So
if you want to weigh in on that, because those proposals are not just
in New York there everywhere they've been proposed here in little pieces of it have
been the focus of debate in North Carolina Supreme Court decisions this year, So
you can let us know. Look, Boston Paul's here, all right,
Boston Paul's the one who gave all these people charges anyway, So what's up,
Boston Paul. Well, you know what, I agree with that clean
slate thing for crimes that have been decriminalized, such as I wanta crimes and
you are drinking and publicly you could do that now in downtown anywhere, you
know. So yeah, But for murder or I don't think so. And
and for Trump, all these people jumping in just makes it great for him.
You know, he's got a solid day. So the more to Marriot,
I think a few of them are just looking for the number two spot.
Yeah, I mean to some extent that that that is again, that's
part of the profile growing that that may be out there. But as we
saw, he didn't grab any of those other sixteen cats last time around.
He went and found somebody else. So he is the nominee. Who knows?
Man, I don't know, but d Christie and uh and how could
be there at the end whatever they were doing, I don't they were they
were they were pushing for something themselves, but they didn't get it. But
anyway, so hold on, hold on eight months, eight months to do
an undercover operation at a at a strip club. Well, you don't understand
how that works, you know that? Oh my goodness, there's there's so
much to that, you know, you know, you you have to first
of all, you have to get a tree requisits for a few hundred dollars
and ones and two dollar bills sometimes five h that has to go to and
but still while you're waiting for that to pass through, you still have to
conduct your operations. Then you get reimbarrassed for that later on, you know,
through that money that's been allocated. But you know, it could take
it could take even up to a year and a half. I know,
I know some people that haven't been involved in something over a year. Yeah,
over a year. There's a lot of nuances to it. Yeah,
there's a lot of the nnswers I see. Yes, yes, you know
you want a solid case. You know it is not they're gonna pry those
those nails open, you know, qualified all the other all the nails are
hey. But anyway, I was in the Nashville crazy man. I mean,
because it could be ten o'clock in the morning, and everybody's struck it's
cool. And then the girls are riding the bus and and they're picking up
their ship and flat as everybody. Wait, wait, hold on, So
you're in Nashville. Everyone's drunk at ten am and girls are flashing you.
Yeah, why did you come? Stay? Well, you know you can't
stay forever. I know people who live in Nashville. Our old boss lives
in Nashville. Why tell the wife you're moving or what? No? No,
no, no, we'll just put that on the anyway. All right,
I'm bad. I'm glad you're back. Hey, enjoy the Celtics game.
Oh that's right, that's not tonight. Yeah. I don't do basketball,
okay, you that Why would I know that? You just what he's
what does he do? He day drinks at ten am and watch his girls
flash there? You know they're hoots at people. Is that really? I
was? I've been in Nashville a few times. I don't remember that Rajier
been in Nashville. Yeah, Markie's family lives near there. That's what I
thought. Yeah, was that your experience? Was it just a drunken debaca
that was not? Okay? Are you sure you weren't in New Orleans,
Boston, Paul, and it was in February. Probably want to go get
one of those cognitive tests. I don't know, man. I get a
lot of email here too from folks. Uh, let's see here do do
do do? Wow? Yeah? See, because you know I get it.
One of our listeners. When I was seventeen, I shot someone in
self defense, but because of the murkiness of the case, eventually I pled
to voluntary manslaughter, a short prison time a few years, three years,
paid all my fines court costs, no other charges besides that. Now I'm
in my thirties, and I can tell you it is almost impossible to find
a good job. I'm lucky in my current job. However, if I
look for if I were to look for anything better, the door would get
slammed in my face. I've done many interviews where everything looks positive, but
the background check gets me turned down. In fact, I was even offered
a job once and then they then unoffered it within an hour. Yeah see,
and no other offenses. Now that he's married with kids, and this
is this is why I am sympathetic to it. And you know I don't
I don't know how you structure something like that, because I also understand.
I also understand that the different crimes. There are different crimes where there's a
higher recidivism rate. There are crimes where, um, you may not have
reoffended because the opportunity didn't present, like somebody who's in a position to embezzle
from a business because they have some sort of control of their finances. Right.
Well, obviously if you do it once and you get busted for it,
you can get caught. And maybe you didn't do it for five years
after you got out, But maybe you didn't do it because you weren't literally
in a position to be able to do it. So it's messy and I
don't know what the answer is. But this is why I wanted to bring
it up, because I feel like there is some middle ground here. But
I started laughing when traffic tickets weren't on there so that they can jack here
insurance rates. It's like, oh, okay, those ones those are and
the point systems within the states that have them, those are still in there.
Of course you're going to keep yours all right. Eight forty three raced
Aga from the weather Channel. He's here, He's got weather, and he's
finally got good weather news, not that crap he was teddling last week.
So yeah, I mean compared to last weekend, the weekend coming up,
it's gonna be great. We'll have a little bit of a cooling trend briefly,
and I mean not really getting too cool, but back maybe slightly below
what we'd like to call normal this time of year, but right back up
and maybe above average as we get into next week. For example, the
average high for Raleigh this time of year is eighty four. Out of the
triad, it's eighty one degrees today. Most of us near those numbers,
likely going to be in that range of the lower to maybe some middle eighties
or maybe a shower of this afternoon. Had a little more clouds start to
come in from the east right now, and they may produce a showery tonight,
load amid sixties. Tomorrow, most in the low eighties, partly sunny,
and again in the afternoon not much an isolated shower thundershower, most of
us nothing sunny. Warmest day of this next stretch will be Saturday, mid
up or eighties. Good pool day, great, great lake day, and
maybe we can head to the beach, and things look a lot better there
as you get out near that at the outer banks. And then Sunday we
cool off to the mid seventies. We're back into the eighties next week,
and you know, kase I looked ahead and said, it looks like the
next week, maybe ten days, we may not see much in the way
of rain at all, as the southeast looks like it's going to be more
dry than wet. Right after we spoke last hour, that invest area in
the Gulf, they jumped it from twenty percent chance of developing and not really
looking like much to now a fifty percent chance of development. But it is
heading south and away from US and probably heading towards Cuba, but still bringing
some heavy rainfall into parts of South Florida indirectly not directly impacted with that,
but he who knows. Now they're starting to chatter about maybe a depression or
a storm forming, which would be the A name on the list, I
would be Arlene. So you start hearing that name getting thrown around, you
want to know where it is, where it's going Arlene, I believe it
is. Yeah, I think Carlene's the first name. Is it just older
women's names this year or what are we doing? Um no, I don't
think mostly older women. So old men in there too, like Brett Arlene
Brett Brett, Yeah no, Bret's not an old man. But Don is
don seems like a little bit. Now anytime you're Donna gives some angry people
calling Don Williams. Yeah, I know, but may we do that anyway?
So yeah, so if you start hearing a name getting thrown around,
potentially could briefly become a storm. So hey, things changed, and to
me they changed pretty rapidly too. This morning early there girt, Yeah,
it's girt on it. Yep, there's a girt on there. Yep.
A day Yeah, I don't even know. Ohhel Yeah, the jokes right
themselves. If we get to the os, yeah, I hope we don't
get there. We got a Vince too, he'll take everything you got.
Yeah, all right, I like the one syllables Vincent, Sean and all
that stuff. Okay, more tomorrow, all right, cool, cool,
thanks man, appreciate it. Ros Have you seen this list? Ophelia,
Dirt, Nigel, But Nigel is not gonna do anything to you. Oh,
Akatia, that's at hurricane sounds smoke show, Idelia. You got a
Whitney, a Sean Arena, A Philippe. Oh man, I just I
can't with a straight face talk about the threat from Philippe. But well,
we'll have to get there for it to happen anyway. Eight forty seven.
We'll get your Bloomberg update next. Hang on Talk w PTI, two stations
driving the best in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News.
Alright, good morning, eight fifty one Jeff Bellinger, what's happened?
Okay, say a good morning. There was just a slight increase last week
in the number of workers signing up for unemployment benefits. The Labor Department just
reported that two hundred thirty two thousand first time applications were filed. That was
two thousand more than the week before. Private sector job growth was much stronger
than expected last month, adpiece, as employers added two hundred seventy eight thousand
workers to their payrolls in May and workers' annual pay was up six and a
half percent from May of last year. We get that full Labor Department report
on May employment tomorrow morning. Right now, the stock market futures are pointing
lower the Dow futures down one hundred one points. The drama over the debt
ceiling is almost over now that the House has passed the compromise worked out by
President Biden and House Speaker McCarthy, Senate passage is all but guaranteed. Walmart
announced it will not follow Target and pulling Pride Month merchandise from its stars.
The giant retailer's chief merchandising officer told reporters Walmart cells merchandise all year that supports
various groups, and it has not made any changes. Target cited worker safety
is the reason it removes some products. The company says employers employees rather had
been threatened, and Casey corporate chief executives got smaller raises last year. Equaler
analyze salary data for the Associated Press. The typical compensation package for the CEO
of an SMP five hundred company increased by just under one percent last year.
The median was still yeah. Median was still nearly fifteen million dollars, and
it would take two lifetimes worth of paychecks for a typical worker to make as
much as a CEO makes in a single year. Casey, well, look
at that. Everybody's hurting. Okay, hey, Jeff, real quick,
I'm gonna play a sound for you. Tell me what TV show this reminds
you of. Okay, real quick, ready, hold on button bar,
here we go. You know what that is? I don't. Sounds like
from a cartoon watch Dukes a Hazard? I didn't. That's one. That's
one that flew under my radar. But I remember the show being out,
but I never watched it technically with flight over your radar? Because okay,
okay, all right, all right, well, very good, thank you
sir. Okay, you have a good day. Yep, never watched the
Dukes of Hazard. Why do I bring it up? There's no way you
know, he's gotta be trolling us at this point. Would get that in
the background while we're talking about it, so you think that's a troll.
Dude, he's older than us. How he's never watched The Dukes of Hazard,
flew under his radar? What are you gonna do? Why am I
bringing it up? Because some lady. I don't know if she's a fan
of the show or not, but she damn near recreated it. She just
didn't stick the landing. There's a crazy, crazy video of basically There's a
tow truck that showed up to deal with an accident, and this lady's like,
Hey, I wonder if I can jump that. Listen to this craziness
man. As you can imagine, Twitter was having some fun with that as
well. We'll tweet out the video. You should check that out. Okay,
all right, ever watched the Duke's a houzard. Any who, let's
go to this Mike. What's up? Hey? How do you know what
to me? I just had a like an idea for how those from criminal
histories could get jobs in the future after good behavior, which is, why
not treat it like the credit system, um, where you've gone just like
the way you established credit, you've established good behavior, uh saying they did
for a number to staying a good at lower paying jobs with low difficult jobs,
keeping a good criminal history back down, but a social credits courser.
Yeah, and even even like to include like how you were in prison time,
Like you know, if you were in your prison, wherefore, okase
be good behavior, great behavior, so they would encouract their behavior there um
and then years afterwards that you you had to work some craffy jobs, just
the way somebody would do with crappy credit, they wouldn't be able to take
any loans. But after a while, to some extent, I think that's
what they're trying to do up there, because there is you have to wait
a little while for it eventually to have it completely erased. And again I
don't know the answered. It's like the emailer I read, I like,
I get it, but I also understand why employers want a swath of knowledge.
And somebody brought up a very good point, thanks for the calling an
email, and said, you know, there's also liability. You see these
some like a daycare hires some maniac they didn't do a background check on and
something happens and somebody use them. So like our will employers have liability.
Waved. I don't know, Chris. I got about a minute, but
go ahead, sir, Hey Casey, good morning. So you know the
whole prisoner thing getting out, just what touch on what that gentleman said.
There are many programs available for prisoners in prison and also out of prison,
and I want these employers to know that you can call the prisons and get
the behavior stuff from you know, their credentials and stuff. But it depends
on the employer, how far they want to go to give this person a
chance, no matter what it was, because the problem is is, you
know, we can't judge each other. People go to prison and they have
time to think and reflect on what they've done, and they can come out
to be really great people. And you meet people in there like you wouldn't
believe, man. And I mean there's you would not believe it. And
there's firefighters in there. They go out on great projects. I mean,
there's so many good programs for these people in prison. They just got to
take advantage of them and get away from the old life that they you know,
the stinking thinking man. I mean, do you know you can't expect
It's like voting Democrats and Republicans in every year, you know, every four
years. You know, we do the same thing expecting different results. And
that's just the definition of insanity. And there's so many programs for these guys,
and they just don't take advantage of them because it's the hardest thing to
do. It's really easy to do the wrong thing. It's really easy to
walk in the store and take something rather than working for it and buying it.
And that's how God set it up. So we can appreciate the things
we work for. So when you come out, I want to hop these
people to know when you come out of prisoner and I want you to know
that there's help for you. You know. Yeah, I'm sorry to cut
you off, Chris. It's just I'm at the end of the show.
But I have one hundred percent agree with you. Man, it's you know,
but it's up to employers to do that due diligence. One of the
nicest people I know did seven years. I don't have time to get into
why, but he turned it around. Man,
