1
00:00:22.800 --> 00:00:32.079
I good morning, everybody. I
I spent a wow. Let me get

2
00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:35.679
it. It is the CaCO Dame
Radio program. It is six o eight.

3
00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:40.039
The phone number, as per usual, well when it's working is eight

4
00:00:40.079 --> 00:00:45.079
eight eight nine three four seven eight
seventy four, and I believe it's working,

5
00:00:45.119 --> 00:00:53.759
but who knows. I have spent
almost the entirety of my adult career

6
00:00:56.240 --> 00:01:11.000
in some capacity covering politicians, federal, state, local politicians, whether it

7
00:01:11.040 --> 00:01:15.560
is in the capacity as a news
talk host, which I've done for since

8
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:23.280
uh it was six ish, and
even when I was doing music before that,

9
00:01:23.519 --> 00:01:29.920
part of my duties was as a
newsperson as well. So I would

10
00:01:29.959 --> 00:01:33.879
do my music shift, but I
would also worked in the news department,

11
00:01:34.120 --> 00:01:38.200
and I would literally go to like
city council meetings, county board, school

12
00:01:38.200 --> 00:01:46.200
board, which it's so exciting and
in that and mind you, I've worked

13
00:01:46.280 --> 00:01:52.879
radio with the exception of like because
I worked radio in high school and college,

14
00:01:52.920 --> 00:01:57.480
and I also had other gigs,
like I did welding and roofing and

15
00:01:57.359 --> 00:02:04.719
ranching obviously, but the majority of
my life has in some way, shape

16
00:02:04.799 --> 00:02:12.159
or form been to analyze what politicians
do, whether for the purpose of just

17
00:02:12.439 --> 00:02:15.400
you know, trying to report it
in a very even handed manner to what

18
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:21.639
I've done for the majority of it, which is analysis and my opinion and

19
00:02:21.680 --> 00:02:25.520
your opinion and talking to them sometimes
and getting ignored by them most of the

20
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:31.000
time, and a lot. There's
a lot of people in the radio world

21
00:02:31.240 --> 00:02:39.599
who have this. Eventually, they're
like, I don't know what it is

22
00:02:39.639 --> 00:02:44.080
because I don't feel it, but
they're like, you know what, I

23
00:02:44.159 --> 00:02:46.080
need to be one of them,
And I gotta be honest with you.

24
00:02:46.120 --> 00:02:53.159
I've never really felt that way.
This is much more fun. And I

25
00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.439
realized yesterday evening that in addition to
kind of where I'm at right, I

26
00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:07.520
don't I don't really want to do
that. I realize I am so uncut

27
00:03:07.560 --> 00:03:16.080
out for it because I personally okay, And again this is a hypothetical I'm

28
00:03:16.080 --> 00:03:27.560
speaking of I personally me, I
would I would have a real problem going

29
00:03:28.719 --> 00:03:36.919
after your Christmas parade and and and
and right there, I'd be like,

30
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:38.960
oh my gosh, like what the
hell? Ross and I've talked about this

31
00:03:39.000 --> 00:03:43.120
on the air, like we don't
understand how Hey, the Christmas pread comes

32
00:03:43.120 --> 00:03:46.879
across your desk, You're like,
nah, no, no, you don't

33
00:03:46.879 --> 00:03:53.280
get that. And and then after
realizing I would say the backlash, but

34
00:03:53.319 --> 00:03:58.360
I don't know that there's really any
penalty for that in the current voting environment

35
00:03:58.400 --> 00:04:00.439
in the city of Raleigh. So
you know, you know, cancel the

36
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:06.439
Christmas break or make it suck well
sucks not the throat, make it make

37
00:04:06.520 --> 00:04:12.800
it near impossible to pull off in
any representative fashion by banning the use of

38
00:04:12.840 --> 00:04:16.519
motorized vehicles. Uh. And and
then you hear the stories of you know,

39
00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:23.240
obviously the floats you have, you
have kids who want to participate,

40
00:04:23.439 --> 00:04:30.680
and they are suffering from, you
know, a whole assortment of problematic afflictions

41
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:36.800
or or or things that make not
writing on the float and participating damn near

42
00:04:36.800 --> 00:04:43.920
impossible. Right that that, Like
I a little missy talking and reading that

43
00:04:43.959 --> 00:04:46.920
one that one letter about this kid
who literally stopped talking after both of his

44
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:53.959
parents died, and and and then
you know, this was this was something

45
00:04:54.000 --> 00:05:00.680
that at least was changing his life
for the better. And then no,

46
00:05:00.879 --> 00:05:03.720
this is again, okay, So
already I'm in this place where I'm like,

47
00:05:03.839 --> 00:05:11.199
I I'm glad I never really had
political aspirations because I don't know that

48
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:16.920
I could tell I don't know that
I could be Scrooge and and and worse

49
00:05:17.279 --> 00:05:20.920
arguably because at least he came to
his senses. And I don't know that

50
00:05:21.120 --> 00:05:30.839
people are here. But I also
wouldn't then be able to, you know,

51
00:05:30.560 --> 00:05:38.040
take a breath and then go.
Also f veterans, that would be

52
00:05:38.160 --> 00:05:41.560
difficult for me, So I don't
know that i'd be able to say,

53
00:05:41.600 --> 00:05:53.480
screw your Christmas parade and your eighty
year traditions and your your kids, you

54
00:05:53.519 --> 00:06:01.600
know, kids love Christmas, and
your family who who suffered an immeasurable loss

55
00:06:01.759 --> 00:06:11.600
last year, who was taking that
heartbreak and that horribleness and wanting to use

56
00:06:11.639 --> 00:06:16.959
it to make things safer and better
in their opinion, and agreeably looking at

57
00:06:16.959 --> 00:06:20.319
their list, I think there's things
there that should be a natural part of

58
00:06:20.360 --> 00:06:26.319
it. I don't disagree. And
then you're thrown under the bus like I'm

59
00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:30.240
sorry, I'm just I'm gonna lose
my crap today and I don't mean to

60
00:06:30.519 --> 00:06:33.360
and I want and it's not just
over the vikings going like, hey,

61
00:06:33.399 --> 00:06:44.279
our future is Josh Dobbs. That's
just that's just another straw on the camel's

62
00:06:44.279 --> 00:06:49.160
back. But then you go and
screw it the veterans. For those who

63
00:06:49.199 --> 00:06:51.800
don't know, and you're wondering,
what is this guy on? What is

64
00:06:51.800 --> 00:07:00.519
he rambling about this morning? Please
permit me to bring up to speed if

65
00:07:00.560 --> 00:07:16.319
I could so. The North Carolina
Veterans Day Parade is canceled kind of retroactively

66
00:07:16.399 --> 00:07:23.399
because it was supposed to be Saturday. And just a reminder, Veterans Day

67
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:27.680
is not Memorial Day. Memorial Day
is for those who have who have paid

68
00:07:27.720 --> 00:07:36.759
that ultimate sacrifice, but Veterans Day
is about those who have paid the initial

69
00:07:36.800 --> 00:07:43.720
sacrifice, okay, and and decided
that a portion of their lives, whether

70
00:07:43.759 --> 00:07:46.720
it be you know, three years
or like I said, I got,

71
00:07:46.759 --> 00:07:53.040
I got a cousin. Who the
guy you have twenty five before he's done?

72
00:07:53.319 --> 00:07:58.920
Right? And uh? And I
you know, in a state that

73
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:09.639
has the largest represented representation of population
that counts themselves as a veteran. So

74
00:08:09.720 --> 00:08:16.000
if you don't know that, in
North Carolina we have the highest per capita

75
00:08:16.560 --> 00:08:22.759
number of veterans of all fifty states. And you know that makes sense when

76
00:08:22.800 --> 00:08:30.399
you consider the immense amount of bases
that we have here and proximity to other

77
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:33.440
nearby bases because the South is laden
with them, and North Carolina is a

78
00:08:33.519 --> 00:08:37.879
nice place to live unless you want
a Christmas parade or a veterans parade in

79
00:08:37.879 --> 00:08:46.279
the city of Raleigh. Organizers say
that they have canceled it after by the

80
00:08:46.320 --> 00:08:52.879
way, this had already been approved
obviously because it's Saturday. They canceled it

81
00:08:54.039 --> 00:08:58.799
after being told and I'm going to
I'm going to read Wral's version. I've

82
00:08:58.840 --> 00:09:01.519
heard some others that are close to
this, but a little more in depth,

83
00:09:03.600 --> 00:09:07.559
because obviously people reached out to me
and I honestly I saw the messages

84
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:13.399
last night and I'm like, no, come on, it's a Halloween prank.

85
00:09:15.799 --> 00:09:22.639
So the announcement comes after the city
and the Greater Raleigh Merchants Association announced

86
00:09:22.639 --> 00:09:26.759
in September that it would hold the
Raleigh Christmas Parade without vehicles. To be

87
00:09:26.840 --> 00:09:33.360
fair, the city announced that the
Christmas Parade organizers at the time, as

88
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:41.320
we've talked to Jennifer from the association
there, they were not down with this

89
00:09:41.399 --> 00:09:46.240
for a thousand reasons, and she
did multiple interviews with us, and also

90
00:09:46.320 --> 00:09:52.960
people went and tried to solicit help
from other council members. So with that

91
00:09:54.159 --> 00:09:56.519
in mind, and me, I
guess on this is probably my fault because

92
00:09:56.559 --> 00:10:01.360
I was on the radio pointing out
that, so you going to screw those

93
00:10:01.679 --> 00:10:09.000
that parade, and yet other parades
have been approved, you know, with

94
00:10:09.039 --> 00:10:13.480
some additional safety measures, but ultimately
to be able to operate as they have

95
00:10:13.559 --> 00:10:22.440
in the past. So this was
approved, and as best I understand,

96
00:10:22.440 --> 00:10:26.080
it was approved to have, you
know, to be consistent with previous Veterans

97
00:10:26.159 --> 00:10:33.320
Days parades, and organizers told members
of the city. And by the way,

98
00:10:33.519 --> 00:10:37.360
if somebody in the city says I
am misrepresenting this in any way,

99
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:43.480
shape or form, I have reached
out to the two couple folks in the

100
00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:50.480
city and I have heard nothing on
this. But obviously everyone's really busy that

101
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:58.120
when the city realized that on Saturday
a Veterans Day parade would involve one hundred

102
00:10:58.200 --> 00:11:07.879
and fifty motorized vehicles, they were
told they couldn't. Am I do I

103
00:11:07.919 --> 00:11:13.360
have the right timeline here, because
that's what I understand it to be.

104
00:11:13.360 --> 00:11:16.759
Because quote, uh, and this
is this is an actual quote from maryor

105
00:11:16.840 --> 00:11:24.519
Mary Ann Baldwin. We are trying
to create consistency. Quote there was a

106
00:11:24.600 --> 00:11:28.919
staff decision, by the way,
so just the staff are blaming it on

107
00:11:30.000 --> 00:11:31.960
this time or are we going to
go with the uh? The family of

108
00:11:31.960 --> 00:11:35.279
the girl who was killed, or
we're not throwing them under the bus for

109
00:11:35.360 --> 00:11:41.559
this, Okay, all right?
A staff decision designed to ensure consistency and

110
00:11:41.679 --> 00:11:50.440
safety for all parade events, you
went and undermined the ability because look,

111
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.879
if the thing is the thing is
coming up, the parade is right around

112
00:11:56.879 --> 00:12:05.759
the court corner. I just I
can't this morning. I don't know as

113
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:11.159
a By the way, November eleventh
is Veterans Day, so you know that.

114
00:12:13.840 --> 00:12:16.600
How do you think they're going to
be able to operate a parade that

115
00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:22.679
up until I guess yesterday or the
day before, they were planning to do

116
00:12:22.799 --> 00:12:26.240
in the way that they normally do
them. And you're like, hey,

117
00:12:26.320 --> 00:12:33.879
by the way, anything with a
motor you can't have it. What the

118
00:12:33.919 --> 00:12:39.279
hell is wrong with people? This? Again, this is why I couldn't

119
00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.120
be a politician. I took a
very long, roundabout way in this very

120
00:12:41.120 --> 00:12:45.840
long segment. Whatever. I'm just
trying to wrap my head around this.

121
00:12:48.480 --> 00:12:56.720
You understand that there are veterans that
have mobility issues, right ross, had

122
00:12:56.720 --> 00:13:03.360
you heard of this? Some of
our veterans who because of their service,

123
00:13:05.159 --> 00:13:09.360
have found themselves with mobility issues that
they will deal with for the rest of

124
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:11.679
their life. Are you aware of
this? Have you ever seen any Yeah?

125
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:15.320
I have heard of that. Oh
wow, okay, yes, not

126
00:13:15.480 --> 00:13:20.519
just me. I I can't wrap
my head around it. This morning.

127
00:13:22.000 --> 00:13:26.759
You tell some guy, you tell
some guy who at you know, nineteen

128
00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:35.200
or whatever or seventeen in some cases, who you know did use a motorized

129
00:13:35.279 --> 00:13:43.200
vehicle, but it was only to
land on Omaha Beach and Russia pillbox and

130
00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.799
and you're like, nah, I
no, I'm sorry, you can't you

131
00:13:48.840 --> 00:13:50.879
can walk? And you're like,
I can't walk because you know, when

132
00:13:50.919 --> 00:14:01.200
I landed on Omaha Beach, a
German dude with a machine gun made it

133
00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:13.039
so I can't walk very well.
I cannot understand what the it has thrown

134
00:14:13.080 --> 00:14:18.159
off my ability to do like a
concise analysis. I'm just so baffled by

135
00:14:18.200 --> 00:14:24.080
it, because there is no analysis. It's just it's just the dumbest thing

136
00:14:24.120 --> 00:14:28.679
that I've ever heard, followed by
another dumbest thing I've ever heard. Yeah,

137
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.879
especially when you consider like who they
are, right, Like, yes,

138
00:14:33.159 --> 00:14:35.720
you know, like you you pilot
or whatever you had, you were

139
00:14:35.759 --> 00:14:39.159
in charge of an amphibious vehicle in
the Mekong River Delta, Vietnam, But

140
00:14:39.200 --> 00:14:45.759
you can't drive down Capitol Boulevard or
whatever in a right you know, yeah,

141
00:14:45.960 --> 00:14:46.879
that's a very good point. You
can, you know, you can.

142
00:14:48.120 --> 00:14:50.840
You can traverse one hundred miles of
river to go find Colonel Kurtz.

143
00:14:52.120 --> 00:14:56.200
But you okay, I just ah, oh my brain. I have to

144
00:14:56.240 --> 00:15:01.200
take a break. I'm sorry.
We'll get into this and much more radio

145
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.320
program. Try not to pass out
from anger. It's gonna be one of

146
00:15:05.320 --> 00:15:11.080
these days. Richard Sprisen or Spreesen. I hope one of those two is

147
00:15:11.159 --> 00:15:16.440
right. I'm sorry. Wake County
Council of Veterans says they had been making

148
00:15:16.519 --> 00:15:22.879
preparations for months, as you do, and during phone calls and inspections in

149
00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:28.399
the emails, he never received any
indication the vehicles would not be allowed.

150
00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:31.679
So I'll let you know what they're
doing. Just gonna know it very long

151
00:15:31.720 --> 00:15:37.720
in that segment, because they are
going to hold an event and a ceremony.

152
00:15:37.960 --> 00:15:45.240
And if you are so inclined and
you don't hate veterans, you know,

153
00:15:45.639 --> 00:15:50.000
and and it works for you,
then maybe you can attend that.

154
00:15:52.480 --> 00:15:58.879
But I am I am at a
loss how that well, hold on,

155
00:16:00.279 --> 00:16:06.000
hold on, oh wow, Ross
has just handed me a statement from the

156
00:16:06.039 --> 00:16:08.799
city here Okay, hold on,
it's from the mayor. Oh it says

157
00:16:10.679 --> 00:16:18.919
orphans. Wow, wow, orphans. Really this is where we are.

158
00:16:19.200 --> 00:16:22.879
This is one O six one FM
Talk in the Triangle, and there's Talk

159
00:16:23.000 --> 00:16:36.440
ninety four or five WUPTI and the
Triad a radio program. Uh yeah,

160
00:16:36.679 --> 00:16:38.679
I uh, that's not how I
want to start the show. I actually

161
00:16:38.720 --> 00:16:44.480
I actually had something I thought was, you know, a good, somewhat

162
00:16:44.559 --> 00:16:49.799
non stressful, little discussion thing that
we could do. And then I see

163
00:16:49.840 --> 00:16:55.320
this yesterday evening. People are reaching
out to me trying to, you know,

164
00:16:55.840 --> 00:17:00.240
explain this, and I just I
can't understand it. Here's what I

165
00:17:00.279 --> 00:17:03.480
want to know. Okay, here's
what I want to know. Because now

166
00:17:03.599 --> 00:17:08.960
in both instances, I've had to
listen to this mayor say that city staff

167
00:17:10.200 --> 00:17:11.920
now to be fair and the Christmas
one. First, she, in my

168
00:17:12.000 --> 00:17:15.440
opinion, made it look like the
family didn't want the Christmas parade, but

169
00:17:15.559 --> 00:17:22.599
also then said city staff and blame
the General Assembly because of course, but

170
00:17:23.319 --> 00:17:30.160
was consistent in saying cities. Okay, who who I want to know?

171
00:17:30.559 --> 00:17:36.880
Who that? And I know police
love to hear this. Who works for

172
00:17:36.960 --> 00:17:41.319
me? Who worked for me?
Right? But yeah, but if you're

173
00:17:41.400 --> 00:17:44.920
breaking the law, then okay,
But in this case, I want to

174
00:17:44.960 --> 00:17:51.839
know who works for me. That
is like, screw you Christmas Parade and

175
00:17:52.039 --> 00:17:59.039
screw you Veterans. I want names. I want to know who that works.

176
00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:02.400
And I'm sorry for those of you
that are listening to this show.

177
00:18:02.480 --> 00:18:04.680
This is something that we always struggle
with because we're on in the Triangle and

178
00:18:04.720 --> 00:18:11.519
on in the Triad, and so
I try not to tend to hyper localize

179
00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:17.480
unless it's a story that I think
captures the attention of even people don't live

180
00:18:17.519 --> 00:18:21.160
in the city of Raleigh, and
I feel like this is one because it

181
00:18:21.400 --> 00:18:30.599
is that backcrap crazy I want to
know in the city of Raleigh who works

182
00:18:30.640 --> 00:18:34.200
for me? That is like,
nah, we can't do this, and

183
00:18:34.240 --> 00:18:40.599
then the retroactively do this unless again
that I'm missing something, and then by

184
00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:44.640
all means, please set me straight. But I don't feel like I am

185
00:18:44.720 --> 00:18:51.079
judging by the reactions and the statements
from the veterans officials, who works for

186
00:18:51.119 --> 00:18:55.519
the city, that works for me
and works for you? Right? Because

187
00:18:55.960 --> 00:19:03.279
I pay taxes in the city of
Raleigh. Who is it? So that

188
00:19:03.359 --> 00:19:08.200
I don't make the mistake of in
any way, shape or form interacting with

189
00:19:08.240 --> 00:19:15.960
that person, right, who is
it that is is willing to cancel a

190
00:19:17.039 --> 00:19:23.279
Christmas parade and through their actions,
cancel a veteran's parade for no, in

191
00:19:23.319 --> 00:19:27.519
my opinion, no justifiable reason that
I've seen explained to me. I want

192
00:19:27.519 --> 00:19:33.119
to know who that is because I
don't want to make the mistake of in

193
00:19:33.200 --> 00:19:40.440
any way, shape or form,
contributing to conversing with that person, interacting

194
00:19:40.480 --> 00:19:48.160
with them accidentally and inviting them over
for a party being you know, I

195
00:19:48.640 --> 00:19:56.799
just because I can't have that stupidity
in my life. So if the mayor

196
00:19:56.839 --> 00:20:02.440
wants to throw this off on city
staff, tell me who, Tell me

197
00:20:02.480 --> 00:20:06.880
who has tied your hands? Spoiler, They have it. They make recommendations,

198
00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:12.799
But ultimately this, this whole thing, in my opinion, rests at

199
00:20:12.799 --> 00:20:17.319
the feet of the mayor. Who
is it? If it's not you,

200
00:20:17.440 --> 00:20:26.119
who is it? And I want
to be very clear here, The only

201
00:20:26.240 --> 00:20:32.279
thing that I the only reason I
would want that is for two reasons.

202
00:20:32.319 --> 00:20:40.480
One so I don't inadvertently have to
converse with that stupidity. And two I

203
00:20:40.680 --> 00:20:48.440
can tell my elected officials, unfortunately
including the mayor, that as a as

204
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.319
a taxpayer, I feel because they
are my conduit to this that they have

205
00:20:52.480 --> 00:21:00.119
made poor decisions in who they have
hired for key managerial position within the City

206
00:21:00.119 --> 00:21:07.079
of Raleigh. Okay, that's what
to be be very clear here, because

207
00:21:07.079 --> 00:21:11.480
I don't want I don't want people
going out and doing do another crap.

208
00:21:11.640 --> 00:21:15.000
Okay, I'm I'm tempering. I'm
tempering my anger by attempting to be very

209
00:21:15.039 --> 00:21:19.920
specific. I don't feel that person's
qualified. I know they're gonna say,

210
00:21:19.960 --> 00:21:22.279
well, what do you know about
this? Here's what I do know.

211
00:21:22.839 --> 00:21:29.319
They were very easy to implement and
perfectly within the UH, within the the

212
00:21:29.599 --> 00:21:37.640
the powers that are held by these
elected officials to facilitate these but also work

213
00:21:37.759 --> 00:21:47.680
to upgrade safety where everyone would have
looked like a hero, and it also

214
00:21:47.880 --> 00:21:52.519
would have provided some level of comfort
to a family who lost their child.

215
00:21:53.960 --> 00:22:03.200
So who are they? That's what
I want to know, because this is

216
00:22:03.759 --> 00:22:10.079
this is garbage. And I'll tell
you what if a bunch of members of

217
00:22:10.160 --> 00:22:14.920
the military, including and obviously retired
members of the military, primarily in these

218
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:18.519
if they want to occupy Fayetel Street, I've got news for you, They're

219
00:22:18.559 --> 00:22:26.039
gonna do it. Okay, They're
pretty good at it, pretty pretty good

220
00:22:26.039 --> 00:22:30.960
at that. So I again,
I'm just baffled eight eight eight nine three

221
00:22:32.039 --> 00:22:37.880
four seven eight seven four Chris,
what's up? Hey, good morning,

222
00:22:37.920 --> 00:22:40.920
Casey. Thanks for taking my call. I'm just a little confused on this

223
00:22:41.000 --> 00:22:45.480
whole thing myself, because there's a
lot of what's the difference between traffic and

224
00:22:45.519 --> 00:22:48.599
a parade? I mean, parades
go slower than normal traffic, which is

225
00:22:48.839 --> 00:22:55.359
the mayor still allows cars downtown.
I'm a little confused on this decision,

226
00:22:55.599 --> 00:22:59.599
and thanks for taking my call.
I don't I have no idea, sir.

227
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:03.000
They do further restrict your ability to
make the right turn. So there's

228
00:23:03.039 --> 00:23:07.119
that, but I don't know.
That's again, through this whole thing with

229
00:23:07.200 --> 00:23:15.759
the Christmas brain and now the veteran's
brain, I don't understand. I don't

230
00:23:15.799 --> 00:23:18.680
understand, and I you know,
even in the efforts that I've made to

231
00:23:18.759 --> 00:23:26.400
better understand, I have not been
met with success. Who let me let

232
00:23:26.440 --> 00:23:33.799
me ask the mayor this? Who
hurts you? Maybe? Maybe I'm maybe

233
00:23:33.799 --> 00:23:41.599
I'm missing something that that has transpired. Who who hurt you? Who caused

234
00:23:41.599 --> 00:23:51.319
you this pain that you have to
go and crap on everyone around? Who

235
00:23:51.400 --> 00:24:03.400
hurts you? What happened? Was
it on just a hypothetical situation. Let's

236
00:24:03.400 --> 00:24:08.319
say, hypothetically, you're the mayor
of a city that is dealing with very

237
00:24:08.359 --> 00:24:17.759
specific criminal issues and targeting your your
your really your your tax revenue, right

238
00:24:17.839 --> 00:24:21.400
because your entertainment districts all that.
Let's let's say you're doing hypothetically, of

239
00:24:21.440 --> 00:24:25.799
course, let's say that that's a
problem. And let's say that in your

240
00:24:25.839 --> 00:24:30.559
willingness to basically not utilize sworn police
officers to mitigate the problem, because you

241
00:24:30.599 --> 00:24:34.119
want to dance around now with the
debate over private security and whether they can

242
00:24:34.200 --> 00:24:41.359
have firearms while missing the point that
having arrest power is vitally more important here.

243
00:24:42.680 --> 00:24:47.240
And let's say hypothetically, then I
don't know, you are a relative,

244
00:24:47.319 --> 00:24:49.759
try to park your car in a
downtown area I don't know, maybe

245
00:24:49.799 --> 00:24:53.000
the Old Seaboard area or something,
and and then your your your car is

246
00:24:53.039 --> 00:25:00.640
then vandalized, which some would argue
is I don't know, really ironic,

247
00:25:03.400 --> 00:25:07.160
And and and and then you you
lose your crap and officers because you've been

248
00:25:07.440 --> 00:25:15.119
hypothetically right, Is is that what
caused this hypothetic or what did it hypothetically

249
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:19.640
cause this? I need to word
this properly, because again I'm not understanding

250
00:25:19.680 --> 00:25:29.359
this this morning. I don't well, hey, hold on here, because

251
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:32.759
I want to make a point with
this caller. Joey, go right ahead,

252
00:25:33.359 --> 00:25:37.160
Hey Kasey, how you doing,
buddy. I'm not I'm not good,

253
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:40.480
sir. I'm not having a good
day. We signed, they signed

254
00:25:40.559 --> 00:25:42.440
Josh Dobbs, and they canceled the
veterans great, So I don't know what

255
00:25:44.240 --> 00:25:45.720
me either. I mean, they're
taking walk to a whole new level.

256
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.480
I moved here eighteen years ago to
get away from it here it is wait,

257
00:25:48.480 --> 00:25:51.160
wait, hold on, hold on, hold on, hold on,

258
00:25:51.200 --> 00:25:55.400
hold on. I want to guess
from from your accent, uh from Idaho?

259
00:25:56.240 --> 00:26:00.799
From Idaho, sir? No,
no, not to have about North

260
00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.279
Alabama. Get it right? Oh
up at the where they at the space

261
00:26:03.359 --> 00:26:07.079
stuff. Really now you say,
so what you moved from the northeast because

262
00:26:07.119 --> 00:26:11.079
you were you didn't want to deal
with Yes, yeah, exactly, because

263
00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:18.319
and now here it is it's liberal
enclaves are killing every state. That's what's

264
00:26:18.359 --> 00:26:22.599
going on. The big cities that
are all Democrat and liberal are killing all

265
00:26:22.680 --> 00:26:26.680
the states. But can I correct
I'm going to correct you, sir,

266
00:26:26.759 --> 00:26:30.440
but I do it out of uh
not noting that I disagree with you.

267
00:26:32.000 --> 00:26:36.880
Uh, Saturday, November eleventh,
at nine thirty am, the City of

268
00:26:36.920 --> 00:26:41.680
New York will hold what is I
believe it's the largest Veterans Day parade still.

269
00:26:42.680 --> 00:26:48.039
So the City of New York,
which you rightfully pointed out is is

270
00:26:48.039 --> 00:26:52.759
is crazy on so many things.
They're still having a parade, sir,

271
00:26:53.039 --> 00:26:57.759
and one with motorized vehicles and all
of that. So all right, but

272
00:26:57.799 --> 00:27:03.880
you're talking about a city where eleven
million people versus a city with not maybe

273
00:27:03.960 --> 00:27:07.039
not even a million, five on
a thousand people live in Raleigh, four

274
00:27:07.079 --> 00:27:11.279
on a thousand, of them with
dumbasses. Well, some days I think

275
00:27:11.279 --> 00:27:17.319
that's an underestimation, sir. But
yes, I hope it's not. I

276
00:27:17.319 --> 00:27:19.319
mean, in reality, thank you
for the call. In reality, even

277
00:27:21.039 --> 00:27:25.200
if you love love, love love, I don't will say love. Even

278
00:27:25.240 --> 00:27:27.960
if you feel that the right people
are intellected office, right, you can't

279
00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:33.559
think that this is in any way, shape or form appropriate, right.

280
00:27:34.480 --> 00:27:37.440
I Look, I get the you're
going to have the you know, the

281
00:27:37.559 --> 00:27:41.839
really hyper political people. But most
people, as we know in the city

282
00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:45.960
of North Carolina, most people don't
identify with one party or the other.

283
00:27:45.119 --> 00:27:52.200
They purport to be in the middle
and and will will in many cases h

284
00:27:52.160 --> 00:27:56.519
on a statewide election be the most
important group you go after, so that

285
00:27:56.680 --> 00:28:03.079
has to populate within the cities as
well. And I just don't believe even

286
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:10.039
if you like the current council and
the mayor, did you think this is

287
00:28:10.119 --> 00:28:15.440
good? But I have to also
believe that after the Christmas parade, and

288
00:28:15.519 --> 00:28:23.599
I guess maybe the complaints stopped rolling
in You're like, oh, I could

289
00:28:23.599 --> 00:28:27.680
do anything I want. Nobody.
I guess nobody cares. But I also

290
00:28:27.680 --> 00:28:37.000
don't understand the motivation for it.
I just tim what's going on. Hey,

291
00:28:37.079 --> 00:28:41.240
I just wanted to say that warsaw
Is gon't come out of having their

292
00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:44.200
Metros Day parade. This saturn to
me, if I want to attend a

293
00:28:44.319 --> 00:28:48.279
parade, Betcher's Day parade, all
right, there you go go to worst

294
00:28:48.160 --> 00:28:53.480
the longest consecutive running Veterans Day parade
in the country. Well you better hope

295
00:28:53.519 --> 00:28:59.240
that some folks don't move over to
war Saucer. Well we trying to keep

296
00:28:59.240 --> 00:29:03.039
them out. We don't let them
movie. And oh well, I'm just

297
00:29:03.079 --> 00:29:04.119
saying, you know, you don't
know, you don't know what you got

298
00:29:04.200 --> 00:29:07.799
till it's gone. But I appreciate
the call to thank you very much.

299
00:29:10.000 --> 00:29:12.799
Now, I'm sorry. I frankly
I think the veterans should. I I

300
00:29:12.839 --> 00:29:18.279
think that in in as safe a
manner as possible. I think that in

301
00:29:18.319 --> 00:29:23.440
the in the course of thirty minutes, uh, they should occupy Fayeteville Street.

302
00:29:23.440 --> 00:29:30.079
We'll hit some landing craft, We'll
get some what are the what's the

303
00:29:30.400 --> 00:29:36.599
what's the marine aircraft? The is
it otter? No? What am I

304
00:29:36.599 --> 00:29:38.839
thinking of? The one where the
propellers go up so it can it can

305
00:29:38.880 --> 00:29:42.480
hover land, But it's a plane. And I see him when I go

306
00:29:42.519 --> 00:29:49.839
down to uh, topsail buzzing over
there or surf city buzzing back, you

307
00:29:49.839 --> 00:29:56.440
know, and just boom. Just
just take that street like you took Berlin,

308
00:29:56.799 --> 00:30:02.839
Okay, but you know, in
a non threat because I honestly I

309
00:30:02.839 --> 00:30:07.160
think most people be like this is
awesome, like this right, and then

310
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.599
just do it. But they won't. You know why because the people who

311
00:30:11.680 --> 00:30:17.599
are heavily involved in these veterans organizations
and do this stuff are also, in

312
00:30:17.680 --> 00:30:21.559
my opinion, in my experience over
the years, they're fundamentally good people.

313
00:30:23.079 --> 00:30:27.960
They're fundamentally good people, and they
roll with the punches and they do what

314
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:30.160
they gotta do. And in this
case, what they're going to do is

315
00:30:30.200 --> 00:30:36.960
they're going to hold a ceremony and
they want you to go to that because

316
00:30:37.079 --> 00:30:40.920
this is the only recourse that they
have. By the way, fifty thousand

317
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:52.039
veterans live in Wake County alone,
and your elected officials in the city Raleigh

318
00:30:52.480 --> 00:30:56.359
don't give it crap man. And
I have had some people email me and

319
00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.640
go, this is just a parade, you gotta go. It's not that

320
00:31:00.680 --> 00:31:03.640
it's just a parade, sir.
It is a parade. I understand that.

321
00:31:04.200 --> 00:31:11.359
But also it is the representative example
of I don't want to say necessarily

322
00:31:11.440 --> 00:31:17.680
reminding people, but honoring individuals who
did serve and yeah, look, some

323
00:31:17.720 --> 00:31:21.240
people, you know they never served
out of an office stateside. I got

324
00:31:21.279 --> 00:31:26.160
that, and others did you know, six tours in nom But ultimately it's

325
00:31:26.279 --> 00:31:33.519
recognizing that, which is why we
have a federal holiday for that, and

326
00:31:33.000 --> 00:31:41.880
people like it and people enjoy it. And here we are. Let me

327
00:31:41.920 --> 00:31:45.359
do this. I'll take a break
when we come back. Ausbrey, thank

328
00:31:45.400 --> 00:31:51.119
you. My brain's not I'm so
thrown by this. My brain hasn't turned

329
00:31:51.160 --> 00:31:56.319
on yet. I will. I'll
give you the details on the what they

330
00:31:56.359 --> 00:32:00.640
are doing because I promised i'd do
that. So the Sarah It'll be eleven

331
00:32:00.720 --> 00:32:04.799
am, and I'll eleven am.
Well, let me just do it.

332
00:32:04.799 --> 00:32:07.440
Since I'm talking about it. The
ceremony will be at eleven am on Saturday.

333
00:32:07.880 --> 00:32:12.599
Obviously there won't be a parade,
so be a little easier getting there.

334
00:32:12.640 --> 00:32:15.200
I guess it will take place at
War Memorial, which is the north

335
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:20.480
side of the Capitol Building. As
you're making that transition into that big field

336
00:32:20.480 --> 00:32:28.480
where they always have stuff. So
ausprey, everybody say, Ausbrey Osprey,

337
00:32:28.680 --> 00:32:31.200
yeah, Ausbrey. Yeah, you
bust a few of those down. There's

338
00:32:31.240 --> 00:32:35.559
some get some old landing craft or
whatever. You have to put wheels on

339
00:32:35.599 --> 00:32:37.039
it. I got it. But
right, make a show of it.

340
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:45.920
Man, do something something I don't
know. We'll try to figure it out.

341
00:32:46.000 --> 00:33:20.559
Coming up, hang on, all
right, good morning everybody, and

342
00:33:20.920 --> 00:33:23.480
uh well, you know, as
goodness, it could be I guess seven

343
00:33:23.480 --> 00:33:29.079
o six or seven now k c
O Day radio program. Sorry mad literally,

344
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:30.400
ted's a freak go on the air, brea you got a snooze?

345
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:39.400
That is that? Ah? Ah? Good morning? Uh if I guess

346
00:33:39.440 --> 00:33:45.880
you're just joining us, I have
I lost I lost my mind, but

347
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:51.559
not in a bad way, but
like I'm just unable to comprehend things that

348
00:33:51.640 --> 00:33:55.640
people do. And the thing this
time is now the City of Raleigh's like,

349
00:33:55.839 --> 00:34:01.720
hey, that Veterans parade that literally
is scheduled for you know here in

350
00:34:01.799 --> 00:34:09.679
just a few days that the Veterans
Organization has been spending months putting together.

351
00:34:12.400 --> 00:34:15.039
Yeah, you can't have motorized vehicles
in that according to the City of Raleigh.

352
00:34:15.079 --> 00:34:19.840
So like this retroactive adjustment, which
is not a little thing, And

353
00:34:19.880 --> 00:34:27.079
now They've canceled the parade, and
I'm on here and I'm just like,

354
00:34:28.519 --> 00:34:32.079
you know what, just just I'm
pretty sure that members on military, former

355
00:34:32.119 --> 00:34:39.280
members of the military could probably take
Fayetteville Street. And so we're gonna have

356
00:34:39.400 --> 00:34:43.679
the I want the entire eighty second
Airborne, I want the Golden Knights,

357
00:34:44.320 --> 00:34:49.320
I want I want landing craft.
Obviously, you'll have to make it so

358
00:34:49.320 --> 00:34:53.880
they are they can operate on land
what else Ausprey's right, the planes with

359
00:34:53.920 --> 00:34:59.360
the pitch the propellers, so they
can those are, yeah, and just

360
00:34:59.440 --> 00:35:02.760
do that. And then some screaming
fighter jets over it. And somebody wrote,

361
00:35:02.760 --> 00:35:06.840
actually somebody wrote an email. One
of our regulars she said, he

362
00:35:06.920 --> 00:35:08.880
goes, so you want everybody else
to do it, and you're not going

363
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:13.719
you guys are gonna do well,
you know what, give us a tank

364
00:35:13.840 --> 00:35:19.119
ross you want to drive a tank
down Fayetville Street. I've never done it,

365
00:35:19.239 --> 00:35:21.920
but I think in my gut is
telling me that I'm qualified. I

366
00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:23.719
think I think they can do it. I think it would I don't even

367
00:35:23.719 --> 00:35:28.800
want to at all. Look like
the guy in San Diego crossed with that

368
00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:30.960
scene from Indiana Jones, I would
Here's the thing I was about to say,

369
00:35:30.960 --> 00:35:34.519
Indiana Jones. Remember at the end
of the first movie where you have

370
00:35:34.679 --> 00:35:38.119
the World War two plane with the
propellers going that takes out the Nazi.

371
00:35:38.480 --> 00:35:42.119
I want like an old school I
don't know what kind of plane that is,

372
00:35:42.199 --> 00:35:45.480
full disclosure, don't know. I
just want to have a World War

373
00:35:45.519 --> 00:35:49.480
two playing our side. Obviously,
I would prefer not to have the other

374
00:35:49.519 --> 00:35:53.039
side. Just my opinion, right, going down, going down the street,

375
00:35:53.480 --> 00:35:58.719
propellers in motion. Oh no,
right, okay, yeah, I

376
00:35:59.079 --> 00:36:02.880
don't see how that would be dangerous
substandable safety concern actually there, So I

377
00:36:02.960 --> 00:36:06.679
what if I told you, I
know somebody's probably listening to the show.

378
00:36:06.800 --> 00:36:10.760
I know somebody who has a World
War two and he has a World War

379
00:36:10.800 --> 00:36:17.360
One restored US military plane. But
I listen, I'm willing to uh,

380
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.480
And it's right within it's went thirty
it's within thirty miles of the studio.

381
00:36:22.559 --> 00:36:23.519
Right, I was gonna say,
it's not piloting if it's still on the

382
00:36:23.519 --> 00:36:28.199
ground, taxiing, I'll taxi it
through the parade. You'll get taxi Okay,

383
00:36:28.639 --> 00:36:30.360
to the children, I'll do the
tank. Yeah, I'm gonna look.

384
00:36:30.400 --> 00:36:35.199
I want to look like patent liberating
polantic right, Okay, Right,

385
00:36:35.519 --> 00:36:38.639
I want that's me, And that's
that's the look I would go for.

386
00:36:38.800 --> 00:36:43.119
But I'm not a veteran. I
have a lot of veterans in my family.

387
00:36:43.159 --> 00:36:46.320
Your father was a Vietdnam War veteran, So I would be willing to

388
00:36:46.360 --> 00:36:52.920
do it in the honor like my
grandfather, who has an amazing story of

389
00:36:52.320 --> 00:37:00.360
World War Two and then what happened
with him and the fact that literally after

390
00:37:00.519 --> 00:37:06.199
he was after he was wounded,
coming back state side, recovering, taking

391
00:37:06.239 --> 00:37:09.440
a post state side, and because
of all of those chain of events,

392
00:37:10.039 --> 00:37:15.760
he was a he met my grandmother
and now I'm here. Much of the

393
00:37:15.800 --> 00:37:20.199
dismay probably of some city officials right
now, that would be I would do

394
00:37:20.280 --> 00:37:25.239
that to honor that legacy. And
so all right, and then Ross's taxing

395
00:37:25.320 --> 00:37:30.519
military aircraft, well for doing it. Like his memory my dad, he

396
00:37:30.559 --> 00:37:32.920
would geek out and freak out and
nerd out over the amphibious vehicles. I

397
00:37:32.920 --> 00:37:37.760
mentioned him last hour from Vietnam,
right he was at Vietnam. He went

398
00:37:37.760 --> 00:37:39.280
over there. That was his thing. If they showed one of those on

399
00:37:39.360 --> 00:37:44.400
TV, he would talk for hours
about it. So I mean, I'm

400
00:37:44.440 --> 00:37:47.159
willing to drive one of those as
well. Oh you can't do the plane

401
00:37:47.400 --> 00:37:52.320
that So look at that right right
there. I've just organized this thing and

402
00:37:52.360 --> 00:37:57.880
I think it's gonna be great.
And also what are you gonna do about

403
00:37:57.880 --> 00:38:02.119
it? Really? Oh, I've
had like three people go, you're gonna

404
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:07.480
get yourself in trouble. No.
Not. You can't have a veteran state

405
00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:10.920
parade, but you can rally downtown
for Hamas. Is that it? Yeah?

406
00:38:10.960 --> 00:38:15.840
Well yeah, that's you know,
that is a point that has received

407
00:38:15.880 --> 00:38:19.599
I've received in my inbox here,
which I think the mayor wouldn't like it

408
00:38:19.599 --> 00:38:24.599
because she has what she's got an
Israeli flag on her social media avatar.

409
00:38:25.599 --> 00:38:30.400
Yeah, she had a Ukrainian now
that Israeli one, so I would think

410
00:38:30.440 --> 00:38:35.400
she wouldn't want that. But by
the way, did you see the problem

411
00:38:35.440 --> 00:38:38.760
that they're having in Gaza Ros just
random they can't figure out what's happening.

412
00:38:38.840 --> 00:38:46.360
Apparently sinkholes have started opening in in
Gaza That yeah, just you know,

413
00:38:46.679 --> 00:38:51.679
just everything going on and all of
a sudden, these random sinkholes. According

414
00:38:51.719 --> 00:38:58.000
to the official spokeshole for Hamas that
they I'm sure it's an underground aquifer or

415
00:38:58.079 --> 00:39:01.079
something, right, So it's something
like the area under under the buildings isn't

416
00:39:01.280 --> 00:39:06.280
yeah, isn't the streets is like
a field or whatever. So when they

417
00:39:06.280 --> 00:39:08.199
get bombed the buildings, they're just
boom right in the sinkhole, like there's

418
00:39:08.199 --> 00:39:14.039
something wrong with the foundation of the
buildings. It's probably they probably have a

419
00:39:14.119 --> 00:39:20.239
karsed geography. Uh yes, theological
situation. Intubitably. I was gonna say,

420
00:39:20.360 --> 00:39:22.800
what do you say, cars,
that's what it is accurate? That

421
00:39:22.880 --> 00:39:27.480
is accurate. Maybe not for this, but I heard that word once and

422
00:39:27.519 --> 00:39:30.400
I just now I sound very smart, So you agree though the geology is

423
00:39:30.440 --> 00:39:35.159
my passion, it is true,
right, because what's the hinge made of?

424
00:39:35.320 --> 00:39:38.840
Right? If not Stone. So
it's a great point. All right,

425
00:39:38.880 --> 00:39:42.360
to the phones, here we go. I want the I want the

426
00:39:42.480 --> 00:39:45.559
I don't but I don't want to
look like do Caucus when I'm doing the

427
00:39:45.599 --> 00:39:52.159
patent taking Palermo uh tank photo things, So I'll have to work on that.

428
00:39:52.880 --> 00:39:54.079
All Right, to the phones,
here we go, Michelle, thanks

429
00:39:54.119 --> 00:39:59.119
for hanging on. What's up,
hey? I just wanted to know,

430
00:39:59.239 --> 00:40:05.199
are you gonna have an election that
you can kick this mayor out living the

431
00:40:05.239 --> 00:40:12.840
seventh? I mean, my theory
is right that maybe I have to assume

432
00:40:12.880 --> 00:40:15.440
that as a politician, they've taken
the temperature of the reaction they think they're

433
00:40:15.440 --> 00:40:19.519
going to get from this, and
they feel that they're still going to get

434
00:40:19.519 --> 00:40:22.079
elected, and they're probably right.
Look the area, uh you know,

435
00:40:22.199 --> 00:40:29.639
the the the district, my voting
district in Raleigh. Let's just say,

436
00:40:29.719 --> 00:40:34.440
let's just say the Republicans don't even
show up to hand pamphlets out, because

437
00:40:35.280 --> 00:40:39.320
that's it. I have an idea. I have an idea. Maybe you

438
00:40:39.360 --> 00:40:45.960
should get all these veterans to go
vote and then get them their their dress

439
00:40:46.000 --> 00:40:52.440
blues or fatigues or whatever, and
then you have San Claus and the fatigues

440
00:40:52.519 --> 00:40:57.639
get somebody and go to every time, because I think on a typically on

441
00:40:57.679 --> 00:41:00.280
a mayor's election, they don't have
a turn out. So if you just

442
00:41:00.280 --> 00:41:07.119
get every Republican too, yeah,
yeah, I look, yes, absolutely,

443
00:41:08.079 --> 00:41:12.719
But remember I mean told it's city
staff, and I I'd like to

444
00:41:12.760 --> 00:41:16.360
know who that is too, because
so I don't accidentally ever talk to them

445
00:41:17.320 --> 00:41:22.519
and have my Q lowered. So
you know, there's much bigger issues than

446
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:29.719
just one one mayor. But I'd
be very surprised if she was unsuccessful.

447
00:41:30.840 --> 00:41:35.840
I would appreciate it if you would
also remember the mayor of Greensboro who has

448
00:41:36.119 --> 00:41:43.840
allowed all the children to come in
and be housed over in the Jewish school.

449
00:41:43.920 --> 00:41:49.239
Could you remember that too? Yeah? And I also remember basically people

450
00:41:49.280 --> 00:41:52.519
bringing it up and her going whatever, I'm doing it anyway. So I

451
00:41:52.760 --> 00:42:01.400
just I refuse to recognize and shock
it up to people who just don't inform

452
00:42:01.440 --> 00:42:06.880
themselves of stuff. I refuse to
believe that the majority of people who may

453
00:42:06.880 --> 00:42:09.360
have voted for either the mayor of
Raley or the Greensboro mayor for that matter,

454
00:42:12.719 --> 00:42:17.079
did they think that they would agree
with this decision, but are probably

455
00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:22.360
not in Like it's not driving,
it's not driving. Their thought process,

456
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:25.880
even while the story thanks for the
call, Michelle is unfolding, and I

457
00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:30.400
wish it would, frankly, because
what you have to do is you have

458
00:42:30.480 --> 00:42:32.960
to go, look, this is
dumb, and any of you who are

459
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:37.079
representing me. While I may love
all these other issues, we agree on,

460
00:42:37.159 --> 00:42:40.079
this is not. You can't do
this. And if you do do

461
00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:47.119
this, or you do do other
things like not create a safe environment in

462
00:42:49.079 --> 00:42:53.480
economic or you know, in economic
driver areas, whether it's whether it's Elm

463
00:42:53.519 --> 00:43:00.480
Street in Greensboro it's Fourth Street,
or Cherry in Winston Salem, uh,

464
00:43:00.760 --> 00:43:06.880
you know, downtown anywhere that if
you're not going to do it, then

465
00:43:06.880 --> 00:43:09.079
we're going to find somebody else.
It would be good to be able to

466
00:43:09.159 --> 00:43:14.199
send that message, but you have
to get people inspired by it. So

467
00:43:15.039 --> 00:43:17.480
you know, here's your homework for
the day at one point today, and

468
00:43:17.519 --> 00:43:21.760
you can do it in a very
non political manner. Go up to somebody

469
00:43:21.840 --> 00:43:27.199
who you think probably does vote for
politicians who would do this, and go,

470
00:43:27.400 --> 00:43:30.199
can you believe what happened with the
veteran's parade? And don't even give

471
00:43:30.239 --> 00:43:32.800
your opinion, just be like,
ah, I've listened to this craziness,

472
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:40.599
right, and just make somebody,
make somebody knowledgeable on this, because it's

473
00:43:42.039 --> 00:43:50.199
it should transcend traditional political uh you
know fights. I would hope. I

474
00:43:50.239 --> 00:43:52.920
don't. Maybe I'm one hundred percent
wrong. I don't know. Mike,

475
00:43:53.320 --> 00:44:00.760
what's up, Mike? Yeah?
What can I do for you? There?

476
00:44:01.360 --> 00:44:07.119
I'm here, Yep, go ahead. Hey, yeah, I don't

477
00:44:07.159 --> 00:44:14.239
think that's gonna make that mayor very
popular about election time. There's gotta be

478
00:44:14.280 --> 00:44:19.039
another reason why. I'm sure there's
another reason why she's doing this. Basically,

479
00:44:19.159 --> 00:44:22.639
because the solution to this is very
simple. If it's just the motorized

480
00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:27.800
vehicle, put all the motorized vehicles
down in front, having people walking behind

481
00:44:27.880 --> 00:44:31.119
them. Yep, was that problems
solved? Nobody's gonna get run over that

482
00:44:31.199 --> 00:44:38.719
and want somebody slammed it reverse or
something. Yeah, uh they Basically there's

483
00:44:38.719 --> 00:44:43.320
got to be another reason why she's
doing this. Well, she says city

484
00:44:43.360 --> 00:44:45.920
staff, and that's fine, give
me names, tell me who it is.

485
00:44:46.400 --> 00:44:51.480
And I think the arguments that they
that I've heard alluded thanks for the

486
00:44:51.519 --> 00:44:55.320
call, alluded to are you know
there? There's uh, they're not able

487
00:44:55.360 --> 00:45:04.760
to mitigate all of their safety concerns, but feasibly the restrictions that the family

488
00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:10.920
wanted thrown on and the legislature was
talking about are easily implementable, and parade

489
00:45:12.000 --> 00:45:17.599
organizers in the case of the Christmas
parade agreed to them so and and they

490
00:45:17.639 --> 00:45:22.119
would arguably be more restrictive than they
are in a lot of places across the

491
00:45:22.119 --> 00:45:29.440
country that that still hold parades.
It this is not difficult. So yes,

492
00:45:29.599 --> 00:45:31.400
or I agree with you. There's
there's something going on. I don't

493
00:45:31.400 --> 00:45:34.360
know, which is why. I
just that's why I asked. I'm like,

494
00:45:34.400 --> 00:45:38.800
who hurt you? I was it
a veteran in a Santa Hat?

495
00:45:38.920 --> 00:45:44.559
I mean, what what happened?
I want to know. I want everyone

496
00:45:44.639 --> 00:45:49.280
to feel be filled with Christmas spirit
and civic pride. Bob, what's up?

497
00:45:50.760 --> 00:45:57.000
Well, Tracy? From what's your
what's your explaining? It sounds like

498
00:45:57.199 --> 00:46:00.960
the governor or the mayor is it's
like a cancer on the city that needs

499
00:46:00.960 --> 00:46:07.320
to be surgically removed at the next
election. But to that end, I

500
00:46:07.320 --> 00:46:13.840
guess we need to have a political
party or whatever that would be the parade

501
00:46:13.920 --> 00:46:19.000
party, and we could like raise
money and have ads on the TV and

502
00:46:19.079 --> 00:46:22.559
radio supporting the parade party. And
why I want to you know, but

503
00:46:23.079 --> 00:46:27.920
yeah, you want to read it. Well, what you want to revigorated

504
00:46:28.159 --> 00:46:34.159
reinvigorated tea parties? What you're saying
of some sort maybe maybe a parade party?

505
00:46:34.400 --> 00:46:38.159
And why why why is the mayor
anti parade? Why does she buy

506
00:46:38.239 --> 00:46:44.039
us against parade friends in Christmas?
I don't know. She hates veterans in

507
00:46:44.119 --> 00:46:49.639
Christmas, sir, I seems orphans. Remember that it's not it's not very

508
00:46:49.639 --> 00:46:52.519
original, but it's just an idea. Yeah, no, it's fine.

509
00:46:52.519 --> 00:46:55.000
Although the problem is is then you
do it and then within two years,

510
00:46:55.159 --> 00:47:01.480
uh, the larger powers, the
political powers, would be uh then invade,

511
00:47:01.519 --> 00:47:06.480
take over and bastardize your party.
Yeah, if we're going on track

512
00:47:06.519 --> 00:47:08.880
records for things like the tea party
and stuff. So, but you know

513
00:47:08.920 --> 00:47:13.440
we'd have a good run before then. So all right, we're here for

514
00:47:13.519 --> 00:47:15.719
solutions, sir. So I really
know. I appreciate the input. Yeah

515
00:47:15.760 --> 00:47:22.039
you too, man, that's we're
here for solutions. Look at this.

516
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:25.320
Sarah's got a solution. Hey,
Sarah, what's up? Hey? So

517
00:47:25.480 --> 00:47:30.960
I was thinking about a solution for
this whole Christmas the bacle, But the

518
00:47:30.039 --> 00:47:35.320
mayor hired a whole bunch of amish. No no, no, no,

519
00:47:37.440 --> 00:47:39.119
well no, no, no,
but this is this is the actual issue.

520
00:47:39.280 --> 00:47:44.880
When we talked to Jennifer Martin from
the Merchants Association UH for the Christmas

521
00:47:44.880 --> 00:47:47.239
bread UH, they were sitting there
and try to get the logistics together of

522
00:47:47.280 --> 00:47:52.679
doing a parade but also being able
to tow floats, and it would be

523
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:57.440
there would be a highly increased and
thank you for the call, number of

524
00:47:58.199 --> 00:48:04.440
horses it would be utilized. And
horses. As somebody who has a lot

525
00:48:04.480 --> 00:48:07.480
of experience with horses, we had
a bunch, we had wild mustangs.

526
00:48:07.559 --> 00:48:13.639
We go by with our quarter horses
and everything else. I have. I

527
00:48:13.679 --> 00:48:17.679
have thoughts on horses just because they
were a chore for me, but even

528
00:48:19.360 --> 00:48:23.840
some of our best trained horses,
there's still always that concern. And ironically

529
00:48:24.559 --> 00:48:29.199
would we because we had hunters and
people that would come out to the property.

530
00:48:30.920 --> 00:48:35.199
The largest portion of our insurance that
we had to carry for our outfitters

531
00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:44.079
license was mitigating potential injury from horses, not even firearms. So there's you

532
00:48:44.119 --> 00:48:49.039
know, there's I wish it was
that simple. But also not having a

533
00:48:49.159 --> 00:48:52.760
Veteran's parade or a Christmas parade or
any parade, we have the ability to

534
00:48:53.440 --> 00:49:00.559
help eighty year old Korean War vets
who can't walk make their way down the

535
00:49:00.559 --> 00:49:06.880
parade route in a typical manner.
I'm not agreeing to that, so but

536
00:49:06.960 --> 00:49:09.039
that's Look, that's just me.
I'm just submittiot on the radio trying to

537
00:49:09.079 --> 00:49:14.159
stage you know, d Day on
Fayetteville Street, but without you know,

538
00:49:14.239 --> 00:49:21.760
without no firearms, all right,
just everything else, just parachutes and tanks

539
00:49:21.800 --> 00:49:24.639
and landing craft. But I'm a
I'm a dreamer. So what are you

540
00:49:24.639 --> 00:49:30.800
gonna do except take a break.
We'll be right back the show. After

541
00:49:30.840 --> 00:49:35.599
the show is on the iHeart radio
app. Search Casey Oday for the podcast

542
00:49:35.840 --> 00:49:42.239
on the iHeart Radio app. All
right, I I try to approach things

543
00:49:42.360 --> 00:49:45.440
and don't worry. I'm going to
do some other stories, like the mysterious

544
00:49:45.519 --> 00:49:52.880
sinkholes of Goza. Right that being
said, this one more quick thing.

545
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:58.239
The reason that I think that some
people don't react to these things, an

546
00:49:58.280 --> 00:50:04.440
attempt to express con over these types
of decisions, to the point of telling

547
00:50:04.519 --> 00:50:10.159
those that we hire through the election
process to provide that leadership is because they're

548
00:50:10.199 --> 00:50:20.440
woefully uninformed. And and then I'm
proven right by this. Instead of uh,

549
00:50:20.960 --> 00:50:23.159
I'll change a couple of words instead
of just whining on the radio,

550
00:50:23.400 --> 00:50:31.440
perhaps you and the parade organizers might
consider a little something called compromise. And

551
00:50:32.519 --> 00:50:37.039
you haven't read any of this,
have you haven't? Like you, you

552
00:50:37.159 --> 00:50:39.960
know nothing about that. I'm assuming
you woke up ten minutes ago. His

553
00:50:40.079 --> 00:50:44.559
name it whole? Are is this
holding call field? Are you the dude

554
00:50:44.559 --> 00:50:47.119
from catchering the riot? Because if
so, I like I might understand some

555
00:50:47.199 --> 00:50:52.519
of this, because well read that
book. I'm not going to spoil it

556
00:50:52.559 --> 00:51:05.400
for you. The the safety stuff
that was being pushed by the family of

557
00:51:05.639 --> 00:51:08.000
the girl who was killed in the
Christmas parade, as well as the legislature,

558
00:51:08.119 --> 00:51:14.880
and by the way, also much
of it included in parade permits that

559
00:51:14.960 --> 00:51:20.159
were issued after the incident. The
organization. I can't speak for the Veterans

560
00:51:20.280 --> 00:51:27.840
organization, but the Christmas Parade people
were willing to do all of that so

561
00:51:27.920 --> 00:51:35.920
that the compromise existed. So what
the hell are you talking about? How

562
00:51:35.960 --> 00:51:43.800
did you get up? Remember to
breathe? Manipulate your computer or your phone

563
00:51:43.960 --> 00:51:47.679
or your laptop or your your pad
in a manner where you could go and

564
00:51:47.840 --> 00:51:57.039
send me the stupidest message that I'll
probably receive on Facebook this year. And

565
00:51:57.079 --> 00:52:00.000
I try to make a point,
I don't really check any of my faceboo

566
00:52:00.000 --> 00:52:01.599
book messages. If you send me
stuff on there, I almost never see

567
00:52:01.599 --> 00:52:06.840
it. But I just I saw
there was one from somebody who I wanted

568
00:52:06.840 --> 00:52:09.000
to see what they sent me because
of a conversation or having. And I'll

569
00:52:09.039 --> 00:52:15.159
look, and then I saw yours. Just go read something read. I'll

570
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:16.920
tell you what, sir, let
me. I will in the interest of

571
00:52:17.000 --> 00:52:22.480
compromise. Here's what I'm willing to
do. So the safety restrictions, okay,

572
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:24.800
And and by the way, I
have no power over this, but

573
00:52:27.039 --> 00:52:31.599
I'm going to try to sew some
peace here. So the the the additional

574
00:52:31.679 --> 00:52:37.039
safety measures, okay, all right, that's good. And how about Holden

575
00:52:37.719 --> 00:52:43.039
and I will get a special VIP
area, you know, down the parade

576
00:52:43.119 --> 00:52:47.039
route, and you and the mayor
and the rest of your idiot friends you

577
00:52:47.079 --> 00:52:51.480
can stand there and then when the
veterans go by, you can spit on.

578
00:52:51.559 --> 00:52:54.400
I mean, yell, baby killer. It'll be the and we'll get

579
00:52:54.400 --> 00:53:00.960
it sponsored by Gerber or something,
right would that would that be okay?

580
00:53:01.079 --> 00:53:06.679
If we're going to compromise, because
I know that that used to be a

581
00:53:06.760 --> 00:53:10.719
thing you guys like to do.
Well, ideologically, maybe not you individually,

582
00:53:10.760 --> 00:53:14.760
but hey, you know what we'll
do it. You get front row

583
00:53:14.840 --> 00:53:17.599
seats, We'll get your bottles of
water so you can stay hydrated, and

584
00:53:19.119 --> 00:53:23.920
you can pretend it's you know,
nineteen seventy two again and planes are landing

585
00:53:24.000 --> 00:53:35.440
here from southeast date with that.
See, I'm a problem solver that you

586
00:53:35.480 --> 00:53:39.039
can brag all your idiot moonbat friends
about what you got to do. I

587
00:53:39.159 --> 00:53:43.360
have to talk about. So oh
and then one buddy mind send me this

588
00:53:43.400 --> 00:53:46.719
message, and he's right, he
goes. It's extra ironic because right now

589
00:53:47.000 --> 00:53:53.199
there are very real concerns that the
US could soon find themselves involved in military

590
00:53:53.320 --> 00:54:00.760
action, and even people you know
that are using the D word, which

591
00:54:01.039 --> 00:54:05.079
I think we have a hard time
getting there, but who the hell knows.

592
00:54:05.679 --> 00:54:09.159
But at the very least there's a
real possibility because we are we have.

593
00:54:09.239 --> 00:54:13.880
We just sent three hundred more troops
over there in advisory roles and things

594
00:54:13.920 --> 00:54:16.920
like that. But that's how a
lot of this stuff starts. You're like,

595
00:54:17.039 --> 00:54:22.880
yeah, veterans parade, who needs
that? The sinkholes will get them.

596
00:54:22.360 --> 00:54:27.440
That'll be fine. I love that. I love that story. This

597
00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:32.639
is the headline Mysterious sinkholes wreak havoc
on Gaza City after airstrike, you know,

598
00:54:32.719 --> 00:54:36.840
like they're water tables too shallow or
something. Now you ever see the

599
00:54:36.960 --> 00:54:42.800
movie Tremors. Oh yeah, that's
a good point because that was in a

600
00:54:42.800 --> 00:54:47.719
more desert is shedding. Yeah,
there's something underneath Gaza and it's giant sandwims.

601
00:54:49.000 --> 00:54:52.000
It's messing with the foundation under the
buildings. My why else would the

602
00:54:52.000 --> 00:54:57.960
buildings just sink into a hole?
Yeah, it's a fair bomb. Yeah.

603
00:54:58.039 --> 00:55:00.559
Well some would say, you know, they would theorize that perhaps some

604
00:55:00.639 --> 00:55:06.800
of the soil under the building had
been removed. Really because when I when

605
00:55:06.840 --> 00:55:07.599
if I were to build a building, you don't want to be on like

606
00:55:07.679 --> 00:55:12.800
solid ground, right, Yeah,
that's what generally what you go for.

607
00:55:12.920 --> 00:55:17.280
Yeah, I mean I'm not a
contract distressed, right Yeah. So the

608
00:55:17.480 --> 00:55:23.800
sand worms have provided instability, and
now we are where we are. Okay,

609
00:55:24.039 --> 00:55:28.039
all right, that's you know what
I'm gonna put I'm gonna say that's

610
00:55:28.079 --> 00:55:31.320
a theory that and we'll we'll put
that up there as one of the babies.

611
00:55:31.400 --> 00:55:36.119
You ever you ever see a Return
of the Jedi? I have the

612
00:55:36.159 --> 00:55:40.599
beginning of that movie, right yeah, or or Dune have you seen that's

613
00:55:40.599 --> 00:55:45.320
a good point dune. Yeah yeah, yeah, but what else could it

614
00:55:45.360 --> 00:55:49.320
be? What a mystery this is? It is? Yeah, I didn't

615
00:55:49.320 --> 00:55:52.039
even use the Unsolved Mysteries music.
That's my bad. I'm sorry, but

616
00:55:53.760 --> 00:55:58.239
be a little of it. I
mean, what a mystery this is As

617
00:55:58.239 --> 00:56:02.800
to why these sinkholes post bond campaigns
are suddenly emerging all out all around Gaza,

618
00:56:02.920 --> 00:56:07.159
I don't know. I don't know
that it'll ever be solved, but

619
00:56:07.239 --> 00:56:14.000
I promise you it won't be solved
by press releases from Hamas spokeshole that NBC

620
00:56:14.280 --> 00:56:17.559
just uses, and yesterday explained why
they use it. One of the reporters

621
00:56:17.559 --> 00:56:23.119
from NBC said that the reason that
they use stuff like five hundred people were

622
00:56:23.199 --> 00:56:28.320
killed in a hospital obliterated and it's
all kids, even though you can still

623
00:56:28.360 --> 00:56:35.639
see the hospital standing is because they
don't have any other sources, so they

624
00:56:35.840 --> 00:56:39.360
use the numbers. But they point
out that the numbers are from the Public

625
00:56:39.400 --> 00:56:45.079
Information Office of Hamas, so that
you, the viewer can go you can

626
00:56:45.119 --> 00:56:50.119
be more critical about it. That
is literally what the NBC. When the

627
00:56:50.199 --> 00:56:52.760
NBC correspondence on Twitter, he said
it on Twitter, or I'd play the

628
00:56:52.800 --> 00:57:00.119
audio for you, because it's just
that dumb I was talking about. And

629
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:05.519
remember, throughout this campaign, they're
also saying things like, we don't know

630
00:57:05.559 --> 00:57:10.840
why they're sinkholes, and you murdered
eight thousand women and children already and blew

631
00:57:10.920 --> 00:57:17.400
up a refugee camp, and that
was just run almost verbatim yesterday in the

632
00:57:17.400 --> 00:57:25.440
news cycle. So I forgive me
if I don't have confidence we'll get to

633
00:57:25.000 --> 00:57:30.000
the bottom of this very quickly.
All right. I do want to talk

634
00:57:30.000 --> 00:57:32.840
about a couple other things. We
should be chatting with Lieutenant governor today because

635
00:57:32.840 --> 00:57:37.039
we always at first and third Wednesday, so eight o five on that.

636
00:57:38.079 --> 00:57:45.920
And did you see what happened at
the North Carolina State Fair? The video

637
00:57:46.079 --> 00:57:51.920
is crazy. I admittedly I hadn't
seen the video until yesterday. I saw

638
00:57:51.960 --> 00:57:54.239
the story and I saw a snippet
from the story, and I didn't dig

639
00:57:54.320 --> 00:57:59.960
in, and I should have because
I watched the actual video of the assault

640
00:58:00.320 --> 00:58:07.519
and it is it's awful what happened
to this woman and her kid. And

641
00:58:07.199 --> 00:58:15.679
just just a few elements though,
of how it's being reported and more specifically,

642
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:22.960
how the I guess the victim in
this case is choosing to involve herself,

643
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:28.159
but in a in a protective way, we'll say like that. So

644
00:58:28.199 --> 00:58:30.679
we'll get to that here in just
a moment. But first, Ray Stagic

645
00:58:30.719 --> 00:58:35.599
from the weather channel hanging out and
Ray Ray is so mad at all of

646
00:58:35.639 --> 00:58:38.960
you. He is going to make
us start using the term wind chill way

647
00:58:38.960 --> 00:58:43.880
too early. So thank you for
that, sir, really well gate that.

648
00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:45.519
Yeah, it's great. Yeah,
Hey, anytime I could be the

649
00:58:45.519 --> 00:58:50.639
assistance. I'm certainly here to help, you know, starting to feel a

650
00:58:50.679 --> 00:58:53.239
little bit more like what's coming rather
than where we are, you know,

651
00:58:53.320 --> 00:58:58.559
still in fall officially although it is
November one, but Jullie this morning in

652
00:58:58.639 --> 00:59:01.679
factor in that little breeze and the
load mid thirties and a freeze warning for

653
00:59:01.840 --> 00:59:06.960
most of us out in the triad
in points west to feel a little colder.

654
00:59:07.679 --> 00:59:12.599
You get closer to the Triangle,
it's more upper thirties and even some

655
00:59:12.639 --> 00:59:16.000
low forties round down your Fetteville right
now forty four and Durham thirty nine,

656
00:59:16.039 --> 00:59:21.599
but Winston Salem right now thirty five
and out of the mountains did see some

657
00:59:21.679 --> 00:59:23.440
teens. So the chili air with
a clear sky will stay with us this

658
00:59:23.519 --> 00:59:29.840
morning, and beautiful sunshine this afternoon. We'll get two a round fifties,

659
00:59:29.880 --> 00:59:32.000
so upper forties to low fifties for
the area. With the gusty breeze.

660
00:59:32.440 --> 00:59:36.800
Yes, casey, a little bit
of a wind chill, it won't feel

661
00:59:36.800 --> 00:59:37.559
like that. I'd be like,
boy, it looks nice out there,

662
00:59:37.599 --> 00:59:40.719
and when that win back's off,
it actually feel pretty decent. Yeah,

663
00:59:40.719 --> 00:59:45.119
And then you get that wind and
it feels worse. Colder tonight by a

664
00:59:45.119 --> 00:59:50.679
few degrees, a widespread frost or
freeze upper twenties to low thirties. Obviously

665
00:59:50.760 --> 00:59:53.159
further west of the mountains it'll be
even colder, and then we'll start the

666
00:59:53.199 --> 00:59:57.679
recovery tomorrow. So this is a
quick shot of chilly air load to mid

667
00:59:57.679 --> 01:00:01.320
fifties tomorrow, low sixties Friday,
near just above seventy, and sunshine will

668
01:00:01.320 --> 01:00:06.679
take us right through the upcoming weekend. Could get into the mid seventies for

669
01:00:06.760 --> 01:00:09.280
some of us Monday before we see
the next cool down middle next week.

670
01:00:09.280 --> 01:00:14.480
But that next cold front coming in
I won't be as chilly as this one.

671
01:00:14.519 --> 01:00:16.440
But the good news is it's dried. Didn't that much rain yesterday?

672
01:00:16.480 --> 01:00:20.960
Didn't you think we would? Even
yesterday evening I think it was hundreds of

673
01:00:21.000 --> 01:00:24.079
an inch of rain and now we're
dry, cold, then milder, and

674
01:00:24.079 --> 01:00:29.360
then beautiful at least four November standards
as we get into the weekend, so

675
01:00:29.360 --> 01:00:32.039
it should be really nice. And
we time change, so we have that

676
01:00:32.079 --> 01:00:37.679
coming up we do this weekend.
Yeah right, that we lose an hour

677
01:00:37.320 --> 01:00:44.119
gaining the Sunday Yeah fall back right, we crazy, Well, you're you're

678
01:00:44.159 --> 01:00:46.239
crazy, But I mean that doesn't
mean the time such changing. Thank you,

679
01:00:46.320 --> 01:00:50.039
thank you well, I appreciate it. I think we fall back,

680
01:00:50.119 --> 01:00:53.400
right, so we gain an hour. Yeah, I don't know. I

681
01:00:53.400 --> 01:00:57.280
always a hesitant anthering radio because I
feel like, yeah, throw it up,

682
01:00:57.320 --> 01:00:59.719
but it changes. Yeah, I
mean we should inform myselfs of that.

683
01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:05.599
I'm gonna look, I got bigger
concerns because we're like, hey,

684
01:01:05.639 --> 01:01:07.840
the answer to our quarterback proms Josh
Dobbs. So I'm just I'm not in

685
01:01:07.840 --> 01:01:15.599
a good move. So I did
see it could be the Falcons. Well,

686
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:17.400
we play them this week and we
might lose to them. So thank

687
01:01:17.480 --> 01:01:22.760
you exactly that that's gonna be.
That's gonna be an interesting match. I

688
01:01:22.760 --> 01:01:27.760
hope, I hope the riots among
the fan base in your stands Sunday is

689
01:01:27.800 --> 01:01:31.039
fun to watch because they probably will
be oh it will yeah. Yeah.

690
01:01:31.079 --> 01:01:35.920
Yeah. The Dallas was fighting Rams
people last week and the Eagles. Eagles

691
01:01:35.920 --> 01:01:39.920
had a big melee with some of
the fans from Yeah yeah whoever they played,

692
01:01:39.920 --> 01:01:43.159
I can't remember. So yeah,
everybody's ready to go. I did

693
01:01:43.199 --> 01:01:45.880
play Washington, right, yeah,
yeah, they played Washington. Yeah yeah

694
01:01:45.920 --> 01:01:50.280
in Washington. All right. I'm
hoping for a good game. Yeah,

695
01:01:50.320 --> 01:01:52.880
I'll take that. All right,
sir, we'll talk in an hour.

696
01:01:52.960 --> 01:01:57.960
Thank you. Raced Agic from the
Weather Channel. All right, uh,

697
01:01:58.199 --> 01:02:06.480
North Carolina fair insanity and some interesting
observations to share with you. We got

698
01:02:06.679 --> 01:02:14.960
Politico that's doing the they're doing the
heavy lift on the news reporting that apparently

699
01:02:15.199 --> 01:02:22.119
is absolutely the most pertinent as you
make your decision within the Republican primary and

700
01:02:22.159 --> 01:02:28.239
not at all looking like vicious moonbat
idiots. I'll let you be the judge

701
01:02:28.280 --> 01:02:34.519
and we'll do it. Coming up, hang on, Thank you. Case

702
01:02:34.800 --> 01:02:38.760
is on ninety four f WPTI in
the Triad and one six one FM Talk

703
01:02:38.880 --> 01:02:45.760
in the Triangle. All right,
good morning, welcome back to the greatest

704
01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:50.960
prob the problem solving device on the
planet, k cooda radio program. Just

705
01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:53.880
going over message. We've got a
lot of people, you know, Casey,

706
01:02:53.960 --> 01:02:59.920
a wonderful LZ landing zone, Pulling
dis Park complex, very good,

707
01:03:00.280 --> 01:03:02.400
lots of room there. We parked
a lot of Ausprey's. And if you

708
01:03:02.440 --> 01:03:07.320
remember the stupidity of that public input
session where they asked, say, hey,

709
01:03:07.320 --> 01:03:08.440
what do you want to do with
this land, we just bought for

710
01:03:08.440 --> 01:03:16.039
a lot of money for for making
this destination park which is called Dick's Park

711
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:22.000
adjacent to Pulland Park. And among
the suggestions in addition to a land bridge,

712
01:03:22.039 --> 01:03:28.559
thus completing the Pulling Dicks Park complex
and making my day, was a

713
01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:36.280
giant tree house and a gondola that
you could ride from downtown Raleigh somewhere to

714
01:03:36.480 --> 01:03:38.480
Pulling Dix. And I don't know
from a topography standpoint, I thought it

715
01:03:38.639 --> 01:03:44.239
was is really a thing. I
guess maybe you could. But if it

716
01:03:44.320 --> 01:03:46.000
is feasible, then you know,
you land people there and then we just

717
01:03:46.000 --> 01:03:52.119
have people, you know zipline in. So yeah, thank you one of

718
01:03:52.159 --> 01:03:58.840
our Twitter followers pointing that out.
Very good point, sir. I just

719
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:01.960
telling you, man, let me
flip over to this because I just I

720
01:04:02.039 --> 01:04:09.280
need a mental break from this story. A video that is circulating online shows

721
01:04:09.320 --> 01:04:12.440
an incident that you may have heard
about that took place at the North Carolina

722
01:04:12.559 --> 01:04:17.280
State Fair. It's basically something if
you've gone to the fair, you probably

723
01:04:17.719 --> 01:04:19.960
you've stood in line, right.
If you go to the rides, you

724
01:04:20.039 --> 01:04:24.440
stand in line. Been there,
done that, right? And in this

725
01:04:24.599 --> 01:04:30.679
instance, this was October twenty first, it was the lines were long,

726
01:04:30.000 --> 01:04:35.639
and according to the report, we're
talking like an hour long, and you

727
01:04:35.679 --> 01:04:39.199
know, some people were cutting in
line. In fact, let's go to

728
01:04:39.239 --> 01:04:43.039
the RAO report of my kids and
I were in line for a ride for

729
01:04:43.199 --> 01:04:48.320
well over an hour and lots of
teenagers kept cutting in line right and left,

730
01:04:48.360 --> 01:04:51.880
and I said, note the back
of the lines down there. Now,

731
01:04:53.079 --> 01:04:57.199
teenagers acting like jackasses at the fair
is not a new thing. In

732
01:04:57.239 --> 01:05:00.960
fact, when I was a young
punk, me and my buddies would go

733
01:05:00.960 --> 01:05:03.880
act like idiots too, but not
to this degree. And we weren't assaulting

734
01:05:03.920 --> 01:05:10.800
people. But apparently according to well, if you watch the video that is

735
01:05:10.840 --> 01:05:15.519
in fact what you witness, you
see this mom and her kid is about

736
01:05:15.599 --> 01:05:20.800
what ten and you see this gang
of teenagers not just push them or but

737
01:05:21.079 --> 01:05:26.920
literally it's those videos you see where
mobs decide to go, you know,

738
01:05:27.159 --> 01:05:31.559
because they can't go mono a mono
because there's such cowards. You see the

739
01:05:31.559 --> 01:05:36.280
the group kicking as stomping, attempting
to literally, in my opinion, head

740
01:05:36.360 --> 01:05:40.159
stomp. It looks like in one
instance and beat the crap out of this

741
01:05:40.199 --> 01:05:43.639
woman and her son. You're just
standing in line for a fun ride at

742
01:05:43.639 --> 01:05:46.559
the fair. Instead of having a
fun ride, they saw their mom get

743
01:05:46.559 --> 01:05:54.159
assaulted. Yeah, yeah, just
it's it's really I was coping okay with

744
01:05:54.280 --> 01:06:00.440
the with my assault. I was
pretty infuriated after seeing my child get assaulted.

745
01:06:00.559 --> 01:06:05.679
At that point, I thought,
I cannot let this go understandable,

746
01:06:08.559 --> 01:06:11.840
get it. I even have kids, and I understand that why that would

747
01:06:11.880 --> 01:06:15.199
be the more outrageous thing here,
primarily to have more of a security presence,

748
01:06:15.400 --> 01:06:21.800
or at least the presence of responsible
fair affiliated adults on the midway on

749
01:06:21.880 --> 01:06:26.079
weekend nights in the future. Now, if I'm the mayor of Raleigh,

750
01:06:26.079 --> 01:06:29.159
I hear that. What I hear
is this mom wants the fair canceled because

751
01:06:29.199 --> 01:06:31.599
she wants more safety. So I
keep wandering back to that. No,

752
01:06:32.679 --> 01:06:40.519
what's crazy is that mom refused to
be identified in the report out of fear

753
01:06:40.559 --> 01:06:45.360
for her safety. And I feel
like maybe there's some other components that people

754
01:06:45.480 --> 01:06:49.280
realize that you just don't want to
go there, and so she's doing that.

755
01:06:49.320 --> 01:06:53.119
But it's just a shot of like
her arm in it, and it's

756
01:06:53.519 --> 01:06:56.960
it's maddening, and it's not the
first time something's happened at the fair.

757
01:06:58.119 --> 01:07:00.920
So check that out. We'll give
you the link and we'll be better.

758
01:07:18.760 --> 01:07:26.639
All right, Good morning, everybody, and happy Wednesday. Yeah, Wednesday?

759
01:07:26.920 --> 01:07:30.320
What it is? Our three So
technically we're more than halfway through the

760
01:07:30.360 --> 01:07:35.480
broadcast week. Very exciting, and
since it is Wednesday, we will do

761
01:07:35.760 --> 01:07:41.599
as we do and chat with Lieutenant
Governor Mark Robinson who joins us. Now,

762
01:07:41.719 --> 01:07:44.719
Mark, how you doing this morning? Hey, I'm doing good,

763
01:07:44.800 --> 01:07:47.599
Chase, and how were you?
I was good until everyone lost their damn

764
01:07:47.639 --> 01:07:53.079
minds over the last two weeks,
like you. Maybe you saw the news.

765
01:07:53.159 --> 01:08:00.679
So now the Raleigh Veterans Parade is
canceled. You probably know this as

766
01:08:00.840 --> 01:08:04.559
the lieutenant governor of the state.
We have the largest per capital amount of

767
01:08:04.639 --> 01:08:10.239
veterans anywhere, and our capital city
is not going to do a veterans parade

768
01:08:11.320 --> 01:08:15.159
because the city last minute decided you
can do it. But all of the

769
01:08:15.199 --> 01:08:18.119
stuff you've been planning for months,
you can't do most of that. I

770
01:08:18.119 --> 01:08:24.319
don't understand the subsurdity following what happened
with the Christmas parade, how anyone who's

771
01:08:24.319 --> 01:08:27.359
supposed to be accountable to the voters
could go, you know what, screwed

772
01:08:27.399 --> 01:08:32.039
Christmas and screw veterans. Man.
I'm baffled, but I'm not baffled at

773
01:08:32.039 --> 01:08:34.960
all by a case. It goes
part and parssible with the horrible leadership that

774
01:08:34.960 --> 01:08:40.960
we say see it. Unfortunately in
places like Raleigh, like places in Greensboro,

775
01:08:41.199 --> 01:08:45.279
where the city that we have worked
so hard, the citizens that work

776
01:08:45.359 --> 01:08:49.720
so hard to build, is now
being destroyed by people who simply want to

777
01:08:49.720 --> 01:08:54.359
destroy everything that America, that represents
America and the things that we love.

778
01:08:55.000 --> 01:09:00.119
They despise everything that America loves.
Christmas Veterans. They want to do everything

779
01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:02.479
they can to try to just drive
that out of the public square, to

780
01:09:02.600 --> 01:09:06.840
drive it out of the mouth of
Americans, to drive it out, drive

781
01:09:06.880 --> 01:09:13.640
it out of our social events.
It doesn't surprise me at all, but

782
01:09:13.680 --> 01:09:16.800
it's quite pitiful, and I would
think that the people of Raleigh would be

783
01:09:16.960 --> 01:09:20.439
durned, sick of it, that
the people of Greensboro and other cities would

784
01:09:20.520 --> 01:09:27.279
be durned, sick of these ineffective, weak, anti American leaders who are

785
01:09:27.319 --> 01:09:30.119
literally trying to destroy our cities and
trying to destroy our culture while they're at

786
01:09:30.119 --> 01:09:32.960
it. They've got to vote these
people out office and put people in office.

787
01:09:32.960 --> 01:09:36.600
That's got some common sense. If
you are a city elder and you

788
01:09:36.760 --> 01:09:44.439
cannot administer a parade, you do
not need to be in office. Yeah,

789
01:09:44.479 --> 01:09:46.319
that's kind of where I ended up
on this, although then I suggested

790
01:09:46.399 --> 01:09:51.000
we get the entire eighty second airborne
to parachute in and we hit some landing

791
01:09:51.079 --> 01:09:56.000
craft, because what are they going
to do? So Yeah, absolutely,

792
01:09:56.159 --> 01:10:00.520
Casey. I was at a small
veterans parade in the at the State Fair

793
01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:05.640
and they had a tank roll through. Yes, no one was injured.

794
01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:09.880
They had no one was injured at
this thing. Yeah, no one was

795
01:10:09.920 --> 01:10:13.199
injured. It was amazing. Tanks, tractors, you name it rolled through

796
01:10:13.239 --> 01:10:16.800
these little tiny crevices at the State
Fair and no one was injured. Why

797
01:10:16.840 --> 01:10:20.039
because you had sensible people in charge. You understood how to do this,

798
01:10:20.359 --> 01:10:25.319
all the things necessary for a parade. It's again the city elders a while

799
01:10:25.399 --> 01:10:28.199
they can't figure that out, they
do not need to be in office.

800
01:10:28.359 --> 01:10:30.199
You know, speaking of the state
Fair, you have you following this story

801
01:10:30.199 --> 01:10:34.439
of this woman and her heir kids
who were literally beat down standing in line

802
01:10:34.520 --> 01:10:39.920
for a ride by a bunch of
what appeared to be I guess unruly teenagers

803
01:10:40.000 --> 01:10:43.840
is how she described them. But
it's these videos that you see more and

804
01:10:43.880 --> 01:10:46.319
more of nowadays, where somebody on
the ground and it's a gang of people

805
01:10:46.359 --> 01:10:50.600
trying to stomp their head in.
And how did you get here? If

806
01:10:50.880 --> 01:10:55.239
you don't have to worry about the
tanks, you gotn't worry about kids,

807
01:10:55.000 --> 01:10:59.159
It's easy to understand how we got
here. We got here when we started,

808
01:11:00.479 --> 01:11:05.199
when we started to change criminals from
being criminals to being victims, and

809
01:11:05.199 --> 01:11:10.079
when we start changing the police officers
to being villains. That's how we got

810
01:11:10.079 --> 01:11:14.039
here. You noticed, Casey,
all the conservative pundits, all the conservative

811
01:11:14.039 --> 01:11:17.600
politicians, we're screaming at the rafts. This entire anti police message is going

812
01:11:17.680 --> 01:11:20.840
to come back and bite us in
the rear end. And it has in

813
01:11:20.880 --> 01:11:26.880
every city all across America. What
we're seeing now is folks who have no

814
01:11:27.239 --> 01:11:30.640
respect for law and order. And
they have no respect for law and order

815
01:11:30.720 --> 01:11:33.640
because many of our elected officials,
including at the highest levels, folks like

816
01:11:33.680 --> 01:11:40.319
our Vice president who was willing to
put up bail for rioters. They have

817
01:11:40.479 --> 01:11:44.520
no respect for law and order and
law enforcement, and we are now paying

818
01:11:44.560 --> 01:11:47.920
the costs again those folks that are
allowing this, those folks who are who

819
01:11:47.920 --> 01:11:51.680
have created this, the proponents of
these things, they need to be removed

820
01:11:51.680 --> 01:11:55.640
from office and they never need to
hold it again. Well, there has

821
01:11:55.720 --> 01:12:00.720
been you know, there's been a
change as security goes over the state Fair

822
01:12:00.760 --> 01:12:06.079
where they've shifted away from officers sheriffs
department as well and went more private security.

823
01:12:06.119 --> 01:12:10.680
And I'm not informed enough on all
of it, but I do know

824
01:12:10.760 --> 01:12:14.760
that that's the thing, and I
think it was based on the cost savings.

825
01:12:14.960 --> 01:12:17.640
But when it comes to the state
Fair, that is a Republican for

826
01:12:17.680 --> 01:12:21.880
all practical purposes, that is under
Republican purview, right, the agg Commission

827
01:12:23.359 --> 01:12:28.600
is a Republican and the legislature,
who does you know provide there is control

828
01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:32.119
that they have over this. And
so what a wonderful what a wonderful example

829
01:12:32.199 --> 01:12:40.439
and opportunity for Republicans to show other
political leaders like the mayor of Raleigh and

830
01:12:40.600 --> 01:12:45.520
others how to handle this crap,
because this is their ability to show this

831
01:12:45.560 --> 01:12:48.560
is how it should be done,
and I hope they take the opportunity.

832
01:12:50.119 --> 01:12:54.319
I'm sure, I'm sure they will. Okay, See, I have confidence

833
01:12:54.359 --> 01:12:58.000
that no folks, and they'll do
exactly that, because somebody has got to

834
01:12:58.039 --> 01:13:00.560
stand up and lead on this issue. I starting have been a vocal proponent

835
01:13:00.880 --> 01:13:05.359
of policing good policing, and I've
been a vocal proponent of law and order,

836
01:13:05.640 --> 01:13:10.119
and I've been one of those people
that's been screaming from the raptors that

837
01:13:10.159 --> 01:13:13.640
we need to stop this anti police
sentiment that we have in this country right

838
01:13:13.680 --> 01:13:16.399
now. I mean, we literally
have people being killed because of it,

839
01:13:17.199 --> 01:13:21.359
and it's horrible. You know,
For every George Floyd out there, I

840
01:13:21.479 --> 01:13:25.720
say this friendly, For every George
Floyd out there, there are ten,

841
01:13:25.880 --> 01:13:30.359
fifteen, twenty, maybe even one
hundred nameless people who are killed, face

842
01:13:30.479 --> 01:13:34.600
nameless faceless people who are killed through
gun violence and through drug violence and all

843
01:13:34.640 --> 01:13:40.680
those associated things that nobody talks about. Nobody talks about. The news media

844
01:13:40.760 --> 01:13:44.960
doesn't care the black lives matter.
Folks don't care about the folks that are

845
01:13:44.960 --> 01:13:48.920
being murdered through violent street crimes.
They don't care. These folks just go

846
01:13:49.039 --> 01:13:56.000
nameless and face us. Meanwhile,
we highlight everything that the police does if

847
01:13:56.039 --> 01:13:59.560
it's the least a little bit wrong, it's on the evening news and it's

848
01:13:59.600 --> 01:14:03.479
all called we have this anti police
sentiment that's permeating all landscape. We've got

849
01:14:03.479 --> 01:14:06.279
to stop it and we've got to
get back into camp of law and order.

850
01:14:06.720 --> 01:14:11.039
Now, I will tell you what
is able to go down in the

851
01:14:11.079 --> 01:14:16.079
downtown area is in many cities we
saw these giant protests and you know,

852
01:14:16.199 --> 01:14:21.399
sometimes it was counter protests Israel one
side, Palestine the other, and it's

853
01:14:21.439 --> 01:14:28.239
they dedicated a crap ton of additional
hours for police to go and facilitate those

854
01:14:28.279 --> 01:14:32.399
events. And let me, let
me be very clear here. I'm I

855
01:14:32.439 --> 01:14:36.840
think that people should be able to
gather and and in some cases say incredibly

856
01:14:36.880 --> 01:14:40.760
stupid things, so I can hear
them and know that they're dumb, but

857
01:14:41.560 --> 01:14:46.039
that I appreciate that, and they're
able to facilitate that. So that's where

858
01:14:46.039 --> 01:14:54.000
this disconnect lies for me myself as
well o case you. Again, it

859
01:14:54.039 --> 01:14:59.079
goes right back to the premise.
Uh. I believe it says in the

860
01:14:59.119 --> 01:15:01.560
Bible, where we're treasure will be, there will be as heart. Also,

861
01:15:02.119 --> 01:15:06.199
the same thing applies to a lot
of our politicians you can care about.

862
01:15:06.279 --> 01:15:12.720
You can see clearly what they care
about by where they put their emphasis.

863
01:15:13.159 --> 01:15:16.239
And a lot of times are elected
officials in these big cities. Look

864
01:15:16.239 --> 01:15:20.439
at where they put the emphasis.
They don't put their emphasis on solid solutions

865
01:15:20.439 --> 01:15:26.800
that are going to bring great in
problems. They put their emphasis on agendas.

866
01:15:26.880 --> 01:15:31.079
It's all about agendas. It's not
about driving solutions. It's about it's

867
01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:35.760
about supporting their agendas. It's about
proving themselves to be wrought right on all

868
01:15:35.800 --> 01:15:41.239
these wild ideas that they have or
continue to push those wild ideas. It's

869
01:15:41.239 --> 01:15:44.720
not about bringing solutions. It's not
about keeping people safe. It's not even

870
01:15:44.760 --> 01:15:47.479
about equality, Casey what it's about. It's about pushing the agendas that they

871
01:15:47.520 --> 01:15:53.399
believe in. And that's all they
want to do. The announcement yesterday by

872
01:15:54.479 --> 01:16:00.840
Well the governor and others about Toyota
adding three thousand jobs of the battery plan

873
01:16:00.920 --> 01:16:05.399
in Randolph County eight billion additional investment, are you privy to the totality of

874
01:16:05.399 --> 01:16:09.319
what the governor offered? And I
got to be honest, Mark, I'm

875
01:16:09.359 --> 01:16:12.880
happy when stuff like this happens.
I may not like the process because it's

876
01:16:12.920 --> 01:16:16.319
good for Randolph, it's good for
North Carolina. Sure, but this this,

877
01:16:16.319 --> 01:16:21.560
this, uh, this reality where
now all of this great business opportunity

878
01:16:21.720 --> 01:16:28.560
is directly because of the existence of
Roy Cooper is infuriating to me because,

879
01:16:29.119 --> 01:16:32.800
A, right, that's not how
we got here. Kudos right to this

880
01:16:33.000 --> 01:16:36.439
happening. And if he if he
helped me, what do you know about

881
01:16:36.439 --> 01:16:40.239
it? And uh, just give
me the give me the heads up,

882
01:16:40.279 --> 01:16:43.920
the behind the scenes. Well I
can I can tell you this. Toyota

883
01:16:44.000 --> 01:16:46.720
didn't come here for Roy Cooper.
Toyota came here because of the groundwork that's

884
01:16:46.720 --> 01:16:51.399
been laid by our Republican legislature.
That's why Toyota is here. That's why

885
01:16:51.439 --> 01:16:56.640
there are there are more small businesses
in Casey. That's what I'm really excited

886
01:16:56.640 --> 01:17:00.079
about. Sure, Toyota is coming
here. What I'm what I'm really excited

887
01:17:00.079 --> 01:17:04.359
about are the service industries that are
going to pop up around toios Toyota.

888
01:17:04.520 --> 01:17:09.800
Although so called small businesses are going
to pop up and be created by that

889
01:17:10.000 --> 01:17:15.960
industry. That's why there are more
small business filings now in North Carolina than

890
01:17:15.000 --> 01:17:19.039
there ever has been. We set
a record for small business filings right now

891
01:17:19.319 --> 01:17:27.439
and it's all due to the Republican
legislature lowering taxes, corporate taxes, lowering

892
01:17:27.520 --> 01:17:30.840
personal taxes, lowering regulations, making
moves to set this state up and not

893
01:17:30.840 --> 01:17:36.239
only be business friendly, but turning
us into a business speedway where folks are

894
01:17:36.279 --> 01:17:41.399
ready to come in and do business. Every time I see Roy Cooper taking

895
01:17:41.479 --> 01:17:44.720
a credit for these things, every
time I see him at a ribbon cutting,

896
01:17:44.920 --> 01:17:46.279
I literally take you want to show
up behind him with a sign and

897
01:17:46.319 --> 01:17:49.800
hold it up and says you had
nothing to do with this because if he

898
01:17:49.920 --> 01:17:54.119
had his way that, if he
had his way, we would still be

899
01:17:54.159 --> 01:17:59.720
in the economic doldrums we were in
in twenty ten, and prior the economic

900
01:17:59.760 --> 01:18:02.520
goal that Democrats who had control of
this state had us in, where we

901
01:18:02.520 --> 01:18:05.880
were three point four billion dollars in
debt to the federal government, furlough and

902
01:18:05.920 --> 01:18:10.640
state workers and teachers didn't get a
race for six years. Republicans came to

903
01:18:10.720 --> 01:18:15.479
rally, took over and looked where
we are now five billion dollars surplus and

904
01:18:15.520 --> 01:18:17.359
everybody wants to come to North Caroll
Line and do business. That's due to

905
01:18:17.439 --> 01:18:24.279
Republicans, not Roy Cooper. The
legislature. Speaking of Republicans closing up shop

906
01:18:24.359 --> 01:18:27.920
for this session. I was doing
a little reflection and I can be cynical.

907
01:18:28.039 --> 01:18:33.000
Somebody called me grumpy pants yesterday,
but I really feel like the biggest

908
01:18:33.039 --> 01:18:40.319
thing, and please correct me that
was accomplished was the Medicaid expansion, right,

909
01:18:40.479 --> 01:18:44.680
and what I mean? I guess
obviously some of the stuff with schools.

910
01:18:44.960 --> 01:18:47.520
Pull me out of the gutter here
because that thought really irritates me.

911
01:18:48.359 --> 01:18:51.439
What do you think? What do
you think was accomplished? And what are

912
01:18:51.479 --> 01:18:57.079
your thoughts on this session that just
got done? So people have mixed feelings

913
01:18:57.119 --> 01:19:00.920
on Medicaid expansion. You know my
thoughts on Medicaid expansion, Casey, I

914
01:19:00.039 --> 01:19:04.960
was completely against Medicaid expansion. But
Medicaid expansion didn't come because of my opinion.

915
01:19:05.880 --> 01:19:09.760
I wasn't able to stop it because
of my opinion. It came because

916
01:19:09.800 --> 01:19:14.479
they sat down, discussed it and
came to a consensus. But I said

917
01:19:14.479 --> 01:19:16.840
from the very beginning, if Medicaid
expansion became a reality in North Carolina,

918
01:19:17.039 --> 01:19:21.399
we want to get the absolute best
result we can out of it, and

919
01:19:21.479 --> 01:19:25.760
we want to continue to work hard
to make me make sure we get the

920
01:19:25.760 --> 01:19:29.119
best result possible out of it.
I believe in this current form, North

921
01:19:29.159 --> 01:19:32.920
Carolina's medicaid expansion is completely different from
any other state's medicaid expansion, and I

922
01:19:32.960 --> 01:19:39.159
believe that we're going to be able
to get that best response and best result

923
01:19:39.239 --> 01:19:42.600
out of it. I have my
fingers and my toes cross and we're going

924
01:19:42.600 --> 01:19:45.720
to continue to work hard for that. But our state budget, Casey,

925
01:19:45.800 --> 01:19:48.720
make no mistake about it, is
fantastic. We did some fantastic things in

926
01:19:48.720 --> 01:19:53.520
that state budget, and I think
that's the big takeaway from this session.

927
01:19:53.720 --> 01:19:56.640
Sure, we had some contentious things
going on in that budget, but once

928
01:19:56.720 --> 01:20:00.000
it was passed, you look through
that budget, there's almost I think three

929
01:20:00.079 --> 01:20:02.680
thought two big and dollars were for
local projects that are going to contain the

930
01:20:02.680 --> 01:20:05.880
connectivity that we need in this state
to help it to grow. And we

931
01:20:05.960 --> 01:20:09.960
had. That's not the only thing
that we had there. A lot of

932
01:20:10.000 --> 01:20:17.800
the great stuff in that budget,
the expanding vouchers, opportunity scholarships for all

933
01:20:17.840 --> 01:20:23.199
students in North Carolina, and that's
inside the budget. So the legislature did

934
01:20:23.239 --> 01:20:26.800
some great work this session. Sure
there worth CONTINGENTUS issues, but overall it

935
01:20:26.880 --> 01:20:30.399
was great work. Yeah, I
know, and I and again I try

936
01:20:30.439 --> 01:20:32.199
to remind myself of that. I
really I think some of the school of

937
01:20:32.239 --> 01:20:36.119
stuff was was very good, but
I can't get over that. And I

938
01:20:36.199 --> 01:20:40.439
understand what you're saying, but I
feel like with Medicaid expansion, you're like,

939
01:20:40.520 --> 01:20:43.399
this is the best cancer, right, this is the best version of

940
01:20:43.439 --> 01:20:46.439
cancer, just kind of what you're
saying there, and I hate that,

941
01:20:46.720 --> 01:20:50.159
honestly, Casey, I would push
back against that and say, no,

942
01:20:50.199 --> 01:20:55.600
it's not because the way we have
Medicaid expansion strum structured in this state.

943
01:20:56.000 --> 01:21:00.199
I think the folks that are that
have Medicaid expansion, they're gonna have it's

944
01:21:00.239 --> 01:21:02.920
gonna it's gonna first off, we're
gonna have competition with inside of that,

945
01:21:03.239 --> 01:21:08.680
and second off, that's gonna give
people choices. This is not gonna be

946
01:21:08.840 --> 01:21:13.399
the standard medicaid expansion that we've seen
across the state, and again, we

947
01:21:13.520 --> 01:21:15.359
want to continue to work hard to
make sure we're going to get the best

948
01:21:15.399 --> 01:21:19.199
result out of it. I'm greatly
encouraged by the form that we have had

949
01:21:19.199 --> 01:21:23.600
been up to me, now we
wouldn't have had it, but it wasn't

950
01:21:23.680 --> 01:21:26.640
just up to me. It was
a long, hard conversation there that was

951
01:21:26.640 --> 01:21:29.680
had a by the legislature. We
have the result. Now we have to

952
01:21:29.680 --> 01:21:32.239
work hard to make sure we get
the best result out of it. Obviously,

953
01:21:32.279 --> 01:21:35.439
this does I'm gonna flip real quickly
into just a real quick thing on

954
01:21:35.800 --> 01:21:40.359
campaign stuff. So take off for
lieutenant governor, have put on your candidate

955
01:21:40.399 --> 01:21:45.439
hat. It was a really big
It was a busy week. And obviously

956
01:21:45.600 --> 01:21:48.560
your race is a state wide race, so districts don't mean as much to

957
01:21:48.600 --> 01:21:54.319
you. But but it did change
your race, right one of your opponents

958
01:21:54.319 --> 01:21:58.560
decided he's gonna go run for Congress
and Mark Walker and uh, it's you

959
01:21:58.600 --> 01:22:00.920
know, it's shifting a lot of
things. Jeff Jackson, whose district I

960
01:22:00.920 --> 01:22:04.760
would argue is drawn for him,
is now crying the blues because it's not.

961
01:22:04.960 --> 01:22:09.800
So it's a more interesting AG's race. Do you think that what we

962
01:22:09.880 --> 01:22:15.119
saw over the last week vodes well
for Republican voters and opportunity and specifically where

963
01:22:17.119 --> 01:22:20.079
I do? I think it bodes
well for us in the sixth district,

964
01:22:20.079 --> 01:22:25.880
of course, of course, in
the thirteenth district and Jeff Jackson's former district

965
01:22:25.880 --> 01:22:30.119
at certainly those There are a lot
of places across the state now where Republicans

966
01:22:30.159 --> 01:22:36.960
have a great opportunity to increase their
increase their majority inside of our inside of

967
01:22:36.960 --> 01:22:44.119
our legislature. I feel like we
have a fantastic opportunity to really hammer the

968
01:22:44.199 --> 01:22:48.800
Democrat challenger in the AG's race.
Jeff Jackson is not Dan Bishop and will

969
01:22:48.800 --> 01:22:53.960
never beat Dan Bishop, and does
not deserve to be the Attorney General of

970
01:22:54.000 --> 01:22:57.119
this state. And I cannot wait
for that race to take place, and

971
01:22:57.159 --> 01:23:00.560
I can't wait to see Jeff Jackson
on stage against Dan so folks can see

972
01:23:00.840 --> 01:23:06.600
the vast difference between a real legal
professional, a real constitutional expert, and

973
01:23:06.640 --> 01:23:10.720
the likes of Jeff Jackson. And
then in the governor's race, Casey,

974
01:23:10.840 --> 01:23:15.800
We're gonna keep doing exactly what we've
been doing. Folks have tried to drag

975
01:23:15.920 --> 01:23:18.760
us down in the mud, Folks
who tried to bring us out and cause

976
01:23:18.840 --> 01:23:23.319
us to start all this infighting.
We're going to keep delivering the message to

977
01:23:23.319 --> 01:23:27.279
the people of North Carolina. We
want to partner with you to take North

978
01:23:27.319 --> 01:23:31.279
Carolina to its next great level of
success, to continue to build our economy

979
01:23:31.359 --> 01:23:35.800
and make us some reformations in our
education, education system, and all the

980
01:23:35.880 --> 01:23:40.359
associated things that world around that.
Those are the things that we're going to

981
01:23:40.399 --> 01:23:43.600
work on as governor. And we
believe if we have that entire package,

982
01:23:43.680 --> 01:23:46.600
MIA's Governor, Dan Bishop of ag
we still have our court systems. It's

983
01:23:46.880 --> 01:23:51.720
the Supreme Court and our Court of
Appeals and a supermajority in our legislature.

984
01:23:53.000 --> 01:23:56.000
North Carolina is going to see itself
take that next step to the next great

985
01:23:56.000 --> 01:23:58.800
heights. Well, well, we'll
be watching. Just to be a favor.

986
01:23:58.920 --> 01:24:01.479
And because I've already seen this,
don't just do the random stop at

987
01:24:01.479 --> 01:24:04.760
a barbecue joint so you can post
a photo on social media to go,

988
01:24:04.800 --> 01:24:09.920
hey, look how regular I am. It's it makes my skin crawling.

989
01:24:10.000 --> 01:24:14.000
Josh Stein was doing it last week, So don't do that. We will

990
01:24:14.039 --> 01:24:16.159
not do that. Trust me.
I stopped. I just left the gym.

991
01:24:16.399 --> 01:24:18.920
Anybody wants to see how regular I
am, they can visit me at

992
01:24:18.960 --> 01:24:24.439
Planet Fitness and watch me sweat.
Maybe maybe we'll get ross do work out

993
01:24:24.479 --> 01:24:27.720
with you. All right? All
right, hey, Mar appreciate it and

994
01:24:27.960 --> 01:24:32.520
we'll chat here real soon. Okay, smart talk all day ninety four or

995
01:24:32.560 --> 01:24:38.479
five w pt I and the Triad
and one six one FM talked in the

996
01:24:38.520 --> 01:24:45.399
triangle. All right, So yeah, I'm not whining, but really I

997
01:24:45.439 --> 01:24:48.520
was already in a I was already
in a mood because the Vikings think that

998
01:24:49.840 --> 01:24:57.560
Josh Dobbs is the solution to their
quarterback problems due to Cousins injury. However,

999
01:24:57.840 --> 01:25:01.039
it was busy in the NFL trade
online. There some big, big

1000
01:25:01.079 --> 01:25:08.880
moves Chase Young, you know,
the forty nine ers obviously, but the

1001
01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:15.520
one that the one that I found
interesting. It's the trade deadline, right,

1002
01:25:15.560 --> 01:25:20.479
and you're figuring out your players situation. And then the Raiders decided just

1003
01:25:20.600 --> 01:25:26.119
they fired their coaching GM right,
that was their big news. So I'm

1004
01:25:26.119 --> 01:25:28.560
not saying you're giving up, but
it kind of looks like you're giving up.

1005
01:25:30.359 --> 01:25:33.119
But so the Bills. The Bills
made a good move though, right,

1006
01:25:33.199 --> 01:25:36.199
you guys got some secondary help,
which you need. Yeah, I

1007
01:25:36.239 --> 01:25:41.720
got a Douglas from Green Bay,
all right. So there's lots of teams

1008
01:25:41.720 --> 01:25:45.720
that I think came out pretty good
from yesterday. Unfortunately, I don't know

1009
01:25:45.720 --> 01:25:48.760
that we were one of them,
but I'm happy for you. I did.

1010
01:25:48.800 --> 01:25:54.760
I did see an interesting Bill story
though, and uh hold on,

1011
01:25:54.880 --> 01:25:58.159
let me click back over this.
I was looking at all the football stuff.

1012
01:25:58.640 --> 01:26:01.319
This is in the stack. Actually, New York Posts had this piece

1013
01:26:01.439 --> 01:26:05.479
yesterday and they were talking about Okay, so you know that the beef with

1014
01:26:05.520 --> 01:26:09.399
Trump or one of the beasts with
Trump, but in New York specifically,

1015
01:26:09.399 --> 01:26:15.920
as they were saying that he was
he was inflating the value of his assets

1016
01:26:15.960 --> 01:26:18.119
for the purpose of using it as
collateral. Right, he was over pricing

1017
01:26:18.159 --> 01:26:23.640
mar A Lago, and he was
submitting that he was richer than he was.

1018
01:26:23.800 --> 01:26:30.159
Right. And ironically, the banks
did their due diligence and they even

1019
01:26:30.239 --> 01:26:33.520
independently said that they came to the
conclusion that they thought the loan was a

1020
01:26:33.520 --> 01:26:38.000
good thing and they got paid back. But that's why we're here. But

1021
01:26:38.159 --> 01:26:45.279
one of the little side stories that
came out is Trump, back back in

1022
01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:49.399
the day, tried to buy the
bills. I did not know that.

1023
01:26:49.560 --> 01:26:53.279
I knew that he wanted to get
into it, and I think a lot

1024
01:26:53.319 --> 01:27:00.399
of it was around the time around
his interest started around the time that Limbaugh

1025
01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:05.279
was Remember when Limbaugh wanted to be
an owner of a team and they shut

1026
01:27:05.319 --> 01:27:08.880
him out right, They're like,
no, you can't. It was purely

1027
01:27:08.920 --> 01:27:13.359
political. Well, that got Trump
interested, and he had been talking about

1028
01:27:13.399 --> 01:27:17.479
it for years. But in twenty
fourteen, when the Bills were sold,

1029
01:27:18.680 --> 01:27:25.600
he was one of the final bidders, and at that time in this story

1030
01:27:25.439 --> 01:27:31.319
the writing that he would literally was
going to officials within the Bills organization as

1031
01:27:31.359 --> 01:27:36.760
well as some of the financiers,
and he was carrying around photo copies of

1032
01:27:36.880 --> 01:27:42.199
the Forbes list of richest people,
and he'd be like, hey, I'm

1033
01:27:42.239 --> 01:27:44.680
Donald Trump. Hey, you want
to look at something? They wrote a

1034
01:27:44.720 --> 01:27:50.439
whole story about this. I can't. I'm torn on this because you know

1035
01:27:50.920 --> 01:27:56.600
how I feel about just, you
know, taking all of these distractions that

1036
01:27:56.640 --> 01:28:00.319
we used to have, movies,
sports, all of this to get away

1037
01:28:00.359 --> 01:28:06.439
from all that garbage and in wildly
injecting politics. And I don't know that

1038
01:28:06.479 --> 01:28:10.880
I'd want Trump to own my team, if I'm being honest here, right,

1039
01:28:11.920 --> 01:28:16.159
I miss set Ross. It would
be it would be interesting if it

1040
01:28:16.279 --> 01:28:21.000
was before he was president, which
this was This was twenty fourteen, right,

1041
01:28:21.039 --> 01:28:26.760
so it was, But think about
twenty fourteen Trump and Trump now and

1042
01:28:26.840 --> 01:28:30.640
all the distraction that that might cause, because you know, people would just

1043
01:28:30.760 --> 01:28:33.840
lean into that in the mainstream media
for everything. Before I wouldn't here,

1044
01:28:33.880 --> 01:28:38.119
but now it would be it would
be all politics. Oh yeah, well,

1045
01:28:38.199 --> 01:28:41.000
you try to want sports to escape
from that crap. Right. This

1046
01:28:41.119 --> 01:28:43.399
is one of one of the reasons
why I can't stand Taylor Swift right now,

1047
01:28:43.439 --> 01:28:45.960
because now it's all about Swifty's and
Taylor Swift and it's like, what

1048
01:28:45.039 --> 01:28:50.560
about wold football? Yeah? What
about what about maybe the fact that he

1049
01:28:51.279 --> 01:28:55.119
was out he didn't have a really
good game and then people pointed out that

1050
01:28:55.199 --> 01:28:58.439
he was off doing a bunch of
other stuff with her, And I don't

1051
01:28:58.479 --> 01:29:00.640
know that it's connected, but the
you know, that's how these little controversies

1052
01:29:01.199 --> 01:29:05.199
get in there. But with if
you had Trump, now, every postgame

1053
01:29:05.279 --> 01:29:09.840
press conference wouldn't be about the game. They'd be asking players, and primarily

1054
01:29:09.880 --> 01:29:14.399
they'd be asking black players, how
do you work for a racist? Right?

1055
01:29:14.880 --> 01:29:17.000
You know that? Right? That's
what those in that's what those postgame

1056
01:29:17.039 --> 01:29:21.720
press conferences. But I'm not surprised
that he was interested in the bills because

1057
01:29:23.079 --> 01:29:26.880
many people say, I mean,
that is truly America's real, America's team,

1058
01:29:27.239 --> 01:29:30.720
red white and blue, Buffalo,
blue collar area. Yeah, America,

1059
01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:34.640
you know, So that's why he
was interested. The best table hopefully

1060
01:29:34.720 --> 01:29:38.359
almost Canada though, I mean,
but no, I mean the best table,

1061
01:29:38.960 --> 01:29:45.760
the greatest tables are they great greatest
porta potties. Many people are saying

1062
01:29:45.760 --> 01:29:49.800
it and hearing it everywhere. So
yeah, I'm not surprised, So you're

1063
01:29:49.840 --> 01:29:54.119
you were you like the fact that
he has good taste, is I guess

1064
01:29:54.159 --> 01:29:57.600
the point your peccable taste, But
you don't want I would be I'd be

1065
01:29:57.640 --> 01:30:01.359
afraid he might turn the team color
gold. Well, there is that,

1066
01:30:01.520 --> 01:30:05.319
there is, but yeah, although
that maybe the Saints that have beef with

1067
01:30:05.359 --> 01:30:10.960
that. Not so not the light
gold, but like like that the greatest

1068
01:30:11.000 --> 01:30:15.640
apartment just there apart and the interior
of his of his private plane, although

1069
01:30:15.640 --> 01:30:17.520
he would get a Bill's logo on
the tail problem. Do you remember when

1070
01:30:17.520 --> 01:30:21.279
he changed the Oval office to the
gold color and the media was like,

1071
01:30:21.359 --> 01:30:26.720
oh my god, it's disgusting,
it's gaudy, it's tacky. Biden still

1072
01:30:26.760 --> 01:30:30.680
has those, Yeah, he an
he ain't done nothing. It's still gold.

1073
01:30:30.800 --> 01:30:33.640
He swapped some art out and like
and I like that was it?

1074
01:30:33.840 --> 01:30:36.640
Like he didn't he didn't move it, which is fine, Like I got

1075
01:30:36.640 --> 01:30:40.359
it. I look anything he changed. Remember the first day he was in

1076
01:30:40.399 --> 01:30:45.159
office. Do you remember what the
first contrived fake controversy was his first day

1077
01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:46.399
in office? Do you remember what
it was? It was the first,

1078
01:30:46.640 --> 01:30:53.359
the first of a hundred of these
things that permeated his entire term. Uh

1079
01:30:53.359 --> 01:30:57.960
did he move a bust or something
that he they said some reporter for NBC

1080
01:30:58.079 --> 01:31:01.359
or ABC claimed that the first thing
that he did when he got in there

1081
01:31:01.600 --> 01:31:09.079
is he had the MLK bust removed, which was not true. It literally

1082
01:31:09.079 --> 01:31:12.479
had gotten moved from one side one
part of the office over to the other.

1083
01:31:12.640 --> 01:31:15.880
So the dude went in there,
he didn't see it where it had

1084
01:31:15.960 --> 01:31:17.399
been, and he just wrote a
story saying, oh my god, look

1085
01:31:17.439 --> 01:31:21.279
at that. First thing he does
is remove Martin Luther King's bust, and

1086
01:31:23.039 --> 01:31:30.319
then everyone just ran with it.
So yeah, but let me see.

1087
01:31:30.359 --> 01:31:33.560
Yeah, I'm just looking at my
clock here. So yeah, as as

1088
01:31:33.920 --> 01:31:38.640
as that would have unfolded, I
don't know that you'd be able to get

1089
01:31:38.680 --> 01:31:41.600
away from her right now, and
it'd be a huge, huge distraction,

1090
01:31:42.720 --> 01:31:47.600
all right, eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. All

1091
01:31:47.680 --> 01:31:50.640
right. So it's Ron the presidential
thing. So I told you that Politico

1092
01:31:50.720 --> 01:31:55.239
did a big story, very important
story, so that you know voters are

1093
01:31:55.319 --> 01:31:59.880
armed with the information. They did
an entire story on whether Ron de Santa

1094
01:32:00.239 --> 01:32:05.119
is wearing lifts and his shoes and
I gotta tell you they didn't think this

1095
01:32:05.319 --> 01:32:11.039
up on their own, because I'm
on Twitter and the amount of people that

1096
01:32:11.119 --> 01:32:15.159
I saw that were posting is that
slow mo video of DeSantis walking with like

1097
01:32:15.520 --> 01:32:19.640
his slow mo but it's just you
know, he's from the knees down and

1098
01:32:19.680 --> 01:32:24.760
then they're like pointing a circle around
what looks I At first when I saw

1099
01:32:24.760 --> 01:32:28.479
the video, I didn't realize it
was DeSantis because it just autoloaded, and

1100
01:32:28.520 --> 01:32:31.680
I'm like, are they are they
implying that he's he's he's got ankle holster?

1101
01:32:31.800 --> 01:32:35.600
And then I realized what the thing
was. And I don't know how

1102
01:32:35.640 --> 01:32:41.159
that became a hot trending topic.
And by the way, it wasn't Politico

1103
01:32:41.279 --> 01:32:45.439
doing it. It's uh, you
know, it's his own Republican opponents beefing

1104
01:32:45.560 --> 01:32:50.960
over whether he has lifts in his
shoes. Okay, you know all of

1105
01:32:51.000 --> 01:32:57.000
this is stupid, right, It's
really really it's a completely stupid I don't

1106
01:32:57.000 --> 01:33:00.800
care if DeSantis has stilts, if
Trump has horrible here piece, or if

1107
01:33:00.840 --> 01:33:03.279
Biden has diapers, right if he
if they if he's doing a good job.

1108
01:33:08.520 --> 01:33:10.840
I mean, you don't care,
because I think it kind of is

1109
01:33:10.880 --> 01:33:13.600
the reality but yeah, but it's
like, you know what it feels.

1110
01:33:13.600 --> 01:33:16.159
It feels Lincoln project to me,
that's what that's what it feels. I

1111
01:33:16.199 --> 01:33:19.439
know it's gonna irritate some of you, but I don't care, Like I

1112
01:33:19.439 --> 01:33:24.800
don't. I don't under I don't
understand because I mean, I get it

1113
01:33:24.880 --> 01:33:27.840
and cheer for your guy. And
if you have serious, like you know,

1114
01:33:27.960 --> 01:33:30.239
beef over a particular issue, highlight
the hell out of that. Absolutely.

1115
01:33:30.720 --> 01:33:33.239
But there is and it's not a
huge group, but it is a

1116
01:33:33.279 --> 01:33:38.560
group that gets a lot of engagement. So it ends up everywhere that they

1117
01:33:38.600 --> 01:33:44.079
just go on and post crazy stuff
like I heard, I heard he's eating

1118
01:33:44.079 --> 01:33:46.199
a baby right now, and they
and then you look, you're like,

1119
01:33:46.239 --> 01:33:50.199
okay, thank you, Laura Lumer
appreciate that. And there's no like.

1120
01:33:50.399 --> 01:33:56.239
It baffles me when I see it
on social media. So the fact that

1121
01:33:56.720 --> 01:34:02.319
Politico then used it and grabbed it
to do a rather lengthy analysis piece,

1122
01:34:03.039 --> 01:34:10.760
it just it just takes it to
a new dumb level that this is hidden

1123
01:34:10.880 --> 01:34:15.399
hills, hidden heels or no hidden
heels, and this is your political correspondence,

1124
01:34:15.479 --> 01:34:23.479
So perhaps do better. Politico raced
agic. He's doing well, not

1125
01:34:23.560 --> 01:34:27.680
as good as he did last week, but it will eventually get back to

1126
01:34:27.720 --> 01:34:30.560
a very nice place. So what's
up man, A little chill in the

1127
01:34:30.600 --> 01:34:34.840
air. I did do a little
research, so good between hours. Just

1128
01:34:34.920 --> 01:34:39.920
remember I'm not doing nothing, so
I'm there for you. We do gain

1129
01:34:39.960 --> 01:34:44.439
an hour sleep this weekend, so
let's fall back. So now that everybody's

1130
01:34:44.479 --> 01:34:46.840
refreshed with that and also had something
to come in. I don't know but

1131
01:34:48.039 --> 01:34:55.640
anybody paid attention to otis that category
five hurricane that win? Just amazing how

1132
01:34:55.800 --> 01:35:00.119
little coverage it had before the event. Now I'm still information coming in where

1133
01:35:00.159 --> 01:35:08.800
potentially a record wind gust maybe for
any landfalling tropical system two hundred miles per

1134
01:35:08.840 --> 01:35:12.960
hour. Now that's not confirmed,
but that may actually end up becoming accurate.

1135
01:35:13.000 --> 01:35:15.119
There's going to be a lot to
unravel there, all right. So

1136
01:35:15.159 --> 01:35:17.399
anyway, and let me say one
thing too about you ever been to acapocal

1137
01:35:17.840 --> 01:35:21.199
I have not? Okay, all
right, So Acapolco, like a lot

1138
01:35:21.239 --> 01:35:27.520
of the Pacific side cities in Mexico
and actually in Central America, it's they

1139
01:35:27.560 --> 01:35:31.199
sit in bowls because that's how the
topography is. It's not a huge flat

1140
01:35:31.239 --> 01:35:35.359
approach. They sit in bowls.
So when it rains and I and obviously

1141
01:35:35.520 --> 01:35:42.039
hurricane level rains and wind. It
just decimates everything down low. Even with

1142
01:35:42.159 --> 01:35:45.079
just heavy rain. Brow I can't
even imagine the way that that city situated.

1143
01:35:45.159 --> 01:35:48.760
What a hurricane hitting it dead on
looks like, Yeah, the angle

1144
01:35:48.840 --> 01:35:53.439
came in with the surge to it. It's just each day I see different

1145
01:35:53.479 --> 01:35:57.720
pictures and it it's going to be
a long time. Yeah, shoot up

1146
01:35:57.760 --> 01:36:01.960
some time there. Anyway, it's
pretty easy another couple of cold mornings.

1147
01:36:02.000 --> 01:36:04.840
Freeze morning this morning, and'll freeze
again tomorrow morning. Tomorrow may actually end

1148
01:36:04.920 --> 01:36:09.760
up being a few degrees colder than
the mid upper thirties to near forty degree

1149
01:36:09.800 --> 01:36:15.239
temperatures we have this morning, maybe
like upper twenties, low thirties tomorrow morning,

1150
01:36:15.279 --> 01:36:18.239
So expect that. Expect the light
breeze around and even some chilly days.

1151
01:36:18.479 --> 01:36:21.039
It's not gonna last long. We're
not the time of year where we

1152
01:36:21.039 --> 01:36:26.079
have hangtime with any of this cold
air that's going to be around. So

1153
01:36:26.119 --> 01:36:29.079
a lot of sun it'll look great, but a little brisk today. We'll

1154
01:36:29.119 --> 01:36:31.520
struggle I think in many places to
get the fifties. So how about near

1155
01:36:31.560 --> 01:36:35.640
fifty and tonight, As I'd mentioned, upper twenties to the low thirties,

1156
01:36:35.680 --> 01:36:39.840
so cold Thursday morning, heat up
the car, prep any way you want.

1157
01:36:39.960 --> 01:36:42.800
In the afternoon, load to mid
fifties. Not much wind around,

1158
01:36:42.800 --> 01:36:45.800
so it'll feel a little better.
Sunny, low sixties on Friday, and

1159
01:36:45.920 --> 01:36:49.199
probably a round seventy or just above
over the upcoming weekend. So it's gonna

1160
01:36:49.199 --> 01:36:53.720
get a lot better, a lot
quicker here now that we're in early November.

1161
01:36:53.760 --> 01:36:56.279
You know, these cold snaps usually
don't last too long, and this

1162
01:36:56.319 --> 01:36:59.000
one, well, another front next
week, but not as cold as this

1163
01:36:59.039 --> 01:37:01.239
one. It probably could say a
rail Tuesday or Wednesday next week. All

1164
01:37:01.319 --> 01:37:03.319
right, cool, cool, Thank
you sir, Have a good one,

1165
01:37:03.399 --> 01:37:15.199
and Jeff Bellinger joins us. Next
hang on eight fifty three. Bloomberg Update

1166
01:37:15.279 --> 01:37:19.359
now with Jeff Bellinger, Jeff,
what's happening, Welge morning, Casey.

1167
01:37:19.439 --> 01:37:25.560
Looking at mixed futures this hour.
SMP and Nasdaq futures both a little higher.

1168
01:37:25.840 --> 01:37:29.960
Now, futures are down twenty five
points. The Federal Reserve wraps up

1169
01:37:29.960 --> 01:37:33.680
its two day policy meeting this afternoon. Economists are not expecting a change in

1170
01:37:33.720 --> 01:37:39.279
interest rates, but they say policymakers
may leave the door open for one last

1171
01:37:39.359 --> 01:37:45.079
rate height next month. Private sector
employers continued to increase their workforces last month,

1172
01:37:45.359 --> 01:37:49.199
but hiring fell suore to economist estimates. ADP says one hundred and thirteen

1173
01:37:49.279 --> 01:37:55.239
thousand workers were added to payrolls at
October. Workers' annual pay was up five

1174
01:37:55.319 --> 01:37:59.640
point seven percent from a year ago. There are growing concerns that demand for

1175
01:37:59.680 --> 01:38:02.640
elect strict vehicles has begun to ease. Tesla shares have been taking a hit.

1176
01:38:02.920 --> 01:38:06.479
They've lost nearly a fifth of their
value in just the last two weeks.

1177
01:38:06.800 --> 01:38:11.600
It's November, and here come the
forecast about the holiday season. Deloit

1178
01:38:11.680 --> 01:38:15.840
says almost half of Americans plan to
travel between Thanksgiving in the middle of January,

1179
01:38:15.920 --> 01:38:19.800
but people will take fewer and shorter
trips than they did last year.

1180
01:38:20.039 --> 01:38:25.720
Hotel operators will be happy to hear
that more travelers plan to stay in hotels

1181
01:38:25.880 --> 01:38:30.319
this year, and this gives a
whole new meaning casey to the term hair

1182
01:38:30.359 --> 01:38:33.960
of the dog. Designers in Europe
are looking to harvest dog hair from groomers

1183
01:38:33.960 --> 01:38:39.840
and turn it into textiles. Commercial
spinners in Italy described the canine fur as

1184
01:38:39.920 --> 01:38:43.720
better than cashmere. The fabric.
Of course, it can't be just called

1185
01:38:43.800 --> 01:38:46.279
dog hair they had to come up
with a sexy name for it. It's

1186
01:38:46.319 --> 01:38:51.159
being called chian Gora, combining the
French mind for dog with a gora.

1187
01:38:51.439 --> 01:38:56.000
Yes, get yourself a chian Gora
sweater. You'll be right now. You

1188
01:38:56.039 --> 01:38:59.439
thinks PETA would throw blood on those
because they're not killing the dogs. I

1189
01:38:59.600 --> 01:39:01.880
want to be No, they're not. Okay, totally a byproduct and it's

1190
01:39:01.880 --> 01:39:04.760
sustainable, so they're just shaving them. All right, Well, a bunch

1191
01:39:04.800 --> 01:39:08.680
of cold dogs. If that takes
off, I guess sorry, thank you

1192
01:39:08.760 --> 01:39:12.680
very much. Day Yeah, look
at that. So if you got one

1193
01:39:12.680 --> 01:39:15.439
of those big fuzzy dogs that you
got a brush like all the time,

1194
01:39:15.560 --> 01:39:19.640
or your house looks like, well
the dog, save it. I guess

1195
01:39:19.680 --> 01:39:24.960
it's a gold mine. There you
go. All right, couple quick things

1196
01:39:24.960 --> 01:39:32.319
here. I'm telling you what man, how dumbed. I started reading this

1197
01:39:32.479 --> 01:39:35.920
story and I was actually I was
fascinated a little by the program. I

1198
01:39:35.960 --> 01:39:42.039
wasn't aware because it's it is done
in North Carolina, it's the East coast.

1199
01:39:42.039 --> 01:39:45.960
But I thought the way I thought
the direction this thing was going to

1200
01:39:46.039 --> 01:39:50.600
go is that kids were getting hold
of this stuff. So here's the deal.

1201
01:39:51.000 --> 01:40:00.399
The USDA runs a vaccine program for
rabies, wildlife wildlife right for uh

1202
01:40:00.560 --> 01:40:04.039
raccoons, but also skunks will get
it, a few other critters. And

1203
01:40:04.159 --> 01:40:08.359
the way that they do it is
they have these these things, these little

1204
01:40:09.680 --> 01:40:12.319
I don't say they look like candy, because they kind of do, but

1205
01:40:12.319 --> 01:40:15.920
they also kind of don't. And
they take them and they spread them out

1206
01:40:15.079 --> 01:40:18.880
in you know, places where you
got a bunch of critters, and then

1207
01:40:18.920 --> 01:40:23.960
the critters eat them because they they
smell like vanilla. I mean, they

1208
01:40:23.960 --> 01:40:27.359
smell like candy. They again kind
of look like it. And I thought

1209
01:40:27.359 --> 01:40:30.800
that the problem that they were sent
a press release about from the Department of

1210
01:40:30.840 --> 01:40:33.560
Ag was that kids, you know, keep the kids with no no.

1211
01:40:34.439 --> 01:40:40.239
The problem, according to this article
I'm reading, is a couple instances,

1212
01:40:40.359 --> 01:40:47.159
one up in Virginia where grown adults
I guess came across them and thought that

1213
01:40:47.279 --> 01:40:53.159
they were weed gummies or weed edibles. So thc laced you know, candy

1214
01:40:53.159 --> 01:40:56.840
to get you high, because of
course, you know, you're in the

1215
01:40:56.880 --> 01:41:00.960
woods and there's you know, some
someone must have just dropped one hundred weed

1216
01:41:01.039 --> 01:41:05.359
gummies on the forest floor, so
the first thing you should do is eat

1217
01:41:05.399 --> 01:41:13.279
it, obviously, but some some
people are so stupid that now they've received

1218
01:41:13.640 --> 01:41:21.680
oral rabies vaccine. I'm telling you, every day, at some point,

1219
01:41:23.359 --> 01:41:27.439
you're gonna walk by somebody who if
you ever had a conversation with them,

1220
01:41:27.840 --> 01:41:32.920
you would be astounded that they're able
to tie their own shoes because they were

1221
01:41:33.039 --> 01:41:41.439
just surrounded with folks eating candy.
You fire, you think is candy from

1222
01:41:41.520 --> 01:41:45.760
the ground of the woods, like, but I look, I guess if

1223
01:41:45.800 --> 01:41:48.319
you want to get high and you
don't want to pay for it, then

1224
01:41:48.880 --> 01:41:54.640
you try anything. Then I was
gonna do two stories and then you know,

1225
01:41:54.720 --> 01:41:58.079
Halloween candy by the way, real
quick, Lincoln do good on the

1226
01:41:58.119 --> 01:42:01.319
candy hall, good hole for him, Good good, all right. I

1227
01:42:01.359 --> 01:42:05.960
was gonna ask earlier. Then I
got creaked out by canceling veterans trades because

1228
01:42:06.000 --> 01:42:10.279
I'm know I'm insane. I'm a
horrible person for bringing it up for an

1229
01:42:10.279 --> 01:42:14.119
hour and a half. We'll probably
bring it up again tomorrow, but you

1230
01:42:14.239 --> 01:42:16.039
have to tune in to find out, so we'll see you then.
