All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is six o eight
here on the case O Day Radio program. I gotta tell you, doing
this for as many years as we've done this, I would say that the
BS detector that Ross and I possess is about in the ninety ninth percentile.
And I have wasted a lot of my life to hone it, digging around
trying to verify stuff. Some video that people will send, and you know
it, there's some really good fakes out there. One of the things that
people will do. And there's a guy, he's a big black dude who
does this and they're really funny and I can't remember his name, but he
takes actual, like three minute news clips where they are throwing to a witness.
So it leaves the logo of the station. In the first part you
hear the throw to whatever the guy's name is. And then he has a
video where he puts just a very where it's when he's on camera, just
a very generic thing that looks like the bottom of a newscast, like man
witnessed the shooting or whatever, right, and then but he can't get the
logo on there. And so if you don't know what to look for and
then he'll be hilarious. And though that guy, I swear I gets,
I don't have to I don't have to like subscribe to him on anything,
because you all will send it to me. So yesterday, yesterday, several
people sent me a video tagged us on Twitter, and I watched it and
I laughed, and it was so over the top and so lacking in the
logo on the version that was going around. I didn't entertain for a moment
that it was real. And I asked Ross the same thing. I'm like,
did you see this video yesterday at all? That's all you had to
say, all you had to say, and it's literally all you said.
All you said was did you see this video yesterday? And I see a
fake? Yeah. I watch five seconds of the video you're talking about in
the car school pickup because we're tagged in it. And five seconds I got
to that scream part yep that you mentioned, because I just loaded the audio
and I a five set got to that scream part, and my brain took
it all in yes, and quickly assessed that it was fake. Yep.
I said, it's one of those setups that you already described. The guy
that does the fake one. Yeah, yeah, yeah, this is fake.
There's no ways because it's a it's this old dude where it was he
wearing a black jacket. It is as stereotypical over the top. Sometimes things
are too good to be true, right, yes, And if they are,
like I have, if a headline is too good to be true,
you really have to think twice about and do some researcher, some common sense.
So I I just took it all in and my brain very quickly because
of years of doing this. Yes, said, that has to be fake.
That has to be fake. He's wearing a straw farmer's hat. He's
standing in a swamp, right he is? He is? How do I
describe it? But you're right, it is so like it's almost insultingly stereotypical,
depending on somebody how somebody's handling it. However, stereotypes are sometimes stereotypes
for a reason, right, And there's some good old boys out there man,
right that remember the bigfoot dude with the purty hair, right like that
that was real. That was the thing that happened. So low and behold,
I do as I normally do in the morning when I get up,
you know, I just skimmed through and see if there's any stories that have
emerged that I didn't put in the prep. And I'm skimming through, and
I'm on Fox News, and they've got a whole story about it because it's
real. It's a real thing, and they got access to all of it
because I guess it's their affiliate. So the guy that's talking is a seventy
two year old dude. His name is Randolph White, which is a bit
of a misnomer on the name. And but you know what you get out
to, you get out to some of the island communities out in South Carolina
down there, and it's it's straight up like another language out there. It
really. Yeah, in fact, I can't it's its own dialect and everything.
Now I'm not saying that's what White's putting out there, but if you
were to go out there, you think you think people were messing with you
the way that they're speaking. So it's it's a it's a whole historical thing.
It's quite fascinating. Actually, yes, yeah, but no, it
is like that, but not that you know what I'm saying, Well,
you had that at the ready, didn't you, didn't you And Apparently this
dude saw the F thirty five. He saw that. He sir, he
heard it. He heard it, and so he's he's the witness. Listen
all this being said too, I'm very happy and excited that it's a real
video. Yes, yes, I'm excited. This is two segments. It
locked, unlocked this one and then later in the show because I have to
do this again. So and there's a remix already. Oh yeah, there's
all right. So here's the dude. Because you know, people were putting
around a four Chan post saying that somebody used a fifty cow to shoot the
jet, which would be feasible because people like you couldn't shoot at F thirty
five it's moving two fount Well, this one hovers and if the thing and
it's not hovering that high off the ground, anyone with anyone of the decent
rest of scope and you know, bad intentions could probably lob a fifty Caltas
jet and I frankly that probably wouldn't It wouldn't be good for it, depending
on where you'd hit it. Now, the pilot now is saying that it
was weather is why he ditched. We'll get into that, but let me
concentrate on the witness here. If you're not awake, you're about to be
Okay, that's all I'm gonna say. Let's go to mister White and hear
what you know was going on in the bathroom taking a shave? And by
the way, I get so nervous with that first line. Do you take
a shave? I know you take something. You know there's other stuff you
take in the bathroom, But I've never heard take a shave like if one's
being forced upon you, I guess then you would feasibly take a shave like
you would take a punch. Do you know what I'm saying? But whatever,
and the bad don't taking a shave. And I heard us us preaching
thought that between us reaching a whistle, I said, what in the world
of this? And I a boom in my whole house. The quest bart
ken at me. I look must meet it right, come mont of space
or something? And I said, well, there's that playing. It need
to be reported that nothing be flying is too low. Of course, there's
a remix. Certain things hearing me're like, that has to be a remix.
And then it's amazing how the internet serves up a remix and like no
time at all. Well done, Boom. You know why because listen to
the stream again and I heard us screeching. Saw that between a screech and
a whistle. It's music. It's musical. It's musical. It's so musical.
That's about thirty five years ago. House of Pain sampled it, right,
and I Boom, House of Pain jump around on Betweter Streets in a
whistle and I and I and I all right, you get the gist,
and I'm gonna play the whole thing because the screen parts just the only part
where they sampled it. Dude, it just works and it fits. You
think you're listening to the other than what he's saying words. You think you're
listening to House of Pain like the best production, right, and you have
to agree with me in this one. It just works. Like sometimes you'll
sit down and you'll you'll rack your brain and you're like, I'm gonna try
to come up with something great, but the great, the great stuff just
works. It just naturally comes together. That's what I a little this is
a little braggadocious, but that's what made the Obamacare or Obama phone song so
great was being able to use the actual drop on on it, you know,
in the song being able to use that actual idiots drop in the song
talking about her Obama phone rather than having my guy who does the singing have
to say Obama phone. Also girl on fire, remember that's remember that when
that idiot protesters say growing fire, Obama phone. The F thirty five guy.
The other one that I would add was the dead Giveaway. Remember the
dead Dad Dad giveaway? Yeah, Cleveland with the with the girl that escape
the house. Yeah, ran into the arms of a black man. Dad
Giveaway said, but screamy, dude, he's joined Royalty man. All right,
you gotta tweet that Fox story out. All right, Ross is on
it. It's in. It's bad. I'm taking to show you. And
I heard us us preaching, saw that between a screech and a whistle,
I said, what in the world of this? And I boom in my
whole house the quest bot kenning me. I look musts in the meeting right,
come onto space or something. Do you hear, by the way,
this is the audio nerd in me. When after he's done screaming, you'll
hear the audio sound like it's changing. And the reason is is he has
so overloaded the microphone and the limitter on that camera that it it downward adjusted.
It ducked. We in the business, we call it duck like when
you call in on the When you call in on the phone and I start
speaking over you, your voice gets quieter. It automatically ducks your audio.
That's the phrase. So like literally, he the camera, the poor camera
guy's just sitting there trying to capture this absolute gold is struggling, but he
made it happen. And so God bless that guy for making our Morning six
nineteen. Hang on the show. After the show's on the iHeart Radio app.
Search case O Day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All
right, good morning six twenty four here on the case O Day Radio program.
Now that you're all up because you have no other choice. After listening
to that dude, I'm a little curious why he thought that that's what a
meteorite sounded like. But admittedly I've never heard of meteorites, so maybe that
is what a meteorite sounds like. Don't know, don't know. Here's what
I do know, though, The F thirty five pilot who ejected from the
one hundred million dollars jet, which then people thought was flying around doing its
own thing for a while, claim to have lost the plane in the weather
and likely bailed out before he could activate its tracking system. Was that was
the weather really that bad the day? Yeah? It was the problem.
It was a swamp gas being reflected off of venus and it creates this Fogget
listen, I need you to look at this light. Right what you stole
my pen? What? No? No, great? Now, I'm gonna
let kids stay up at eat ice cream and stuff. Listen, you need
to put some drapes in here because like damn yeah right. Admittedly, these
little foldy things we have in the studio they're not they're not that nice.
So all right, so Ross is going with swamp gas reflecting of why would
it reflect off venus whatever? So quote he is unsure where it's plane crash,
said he lost it in the weather. A voice can be heard saying
of the pilot on a Charleston County Emergency Medical Services call. Uh, the
unidentified pilot landed in a North Charleston residential neighborhood. So it's kind of like
it's kind of like the beginning of the New top Gun. If you haven't
seen the New tie. If you've seen the new top Gun, you know
what I'm talking about. Where he gets he hits mock eight and then he's
like, all right, I'm gonna try for more. And then he jects
and goes walking into a diner in his flight suit. Oh you know,
actually, you know what it's like. It's like back to the future,
the kid with the comic book. It just happens to be wearing the suit
because they were screwing around with the uranium or whatever, as you do.
The pilot taken to a local hospital for treatment, but he had already had
Basically, they was very minor. However, military officials have not yet released
a specific reason for the pilot's hasty exit, only referring to the incident as
stemming from a malfunction. Well, here's the deal, and I saw people
sending this four champ post an anonymous for sorry, I'm gonna need more than
that. However, in the post they claim that there's, uh, there
are some people who are not fans of government that live in that, you
know, out in the swamps of South Carolina, which I firmly believe.
I one hundred percent believe that. However, I don't know if they're going
to be fire and fifty cow at the at a hovering military jet. But
if the fifty cow was able to literally take down the military will never tell
you that. Okay, they're not They're not here to put a list together
of ways that you can incapacitate a jet fighter. Okay, A fighter jet
which is susceptible and it's hover form to fifty cow is not something they want
on record, even if it is probably feasibly possible. So I wouldn't I
wouldn't hold my breath that there's going to be some sort of big reveal that
comes with that. Okay, But anyway, now we got screamy guys,
and the whole incident's funnier and all the memes, the memes were, the
memes were great. Did enjoy the memes all right? Coming up on the
show. Hey, you know how China's got that social credit system that works
so awesome. You might have one at your kids school. Yeah, they
got a whole company that does this and then gets contracted by schools for each
they can put it. This is you know, this is you're going in
your permanent record. This is that permanent record on social justice steroids and a
dude literally followed a GPS to death. Hang on your day Smarter one oh
six one FM Talk and News Talk nine four five w PTI more with Casey
starts now, oh no, yeah, oh no, that is not good.
Well, it's a good thing the god that in the city of Raleigh.
Since the mayor's gonna have to hat, she's gonna go around. Have
you grease all your pets? There's a cat litter shortage? How is there
a cat litter shortage? What? It's did too many of you try to
do a home oil change and had some spillage. The two most affected brands
are scoop Away and Fresh Step. I'm assuming those are probably the big ones.
Wait are you by name brand litter? Isn't there generic litter? Because
it's your cat who cares? Because one works and the other stinks. What
do you mean because we have two cats and if you go with the cheap
o brand it stinks, we will spend extra on the good stuff because then
it doesn't stand the good stuff. Well, honestly, I think everyone should
get ready of your cats. I don't know how you're gonna overcome this.
We made that mistake before because we were like, why are we paying so
much for this stupid kitty litter? Yeah, this is stupid, this is
buy this, and we immediately regretted it. We're like, we're buying that.
It's like some things you don't cheep out on, and that's that's that's
one of them. No idea our cats would go. My mom had cats
and we never had a litter box because the cats would go outside. They
go outside with the dogs, and none of them got eaten or snatched by
anything. So that did happen to a friend of mine, as her parents
says, Pomeranian got snatched by an eagle and it was during a family reunion.
Yeah, we had a friend the same, same sort of thing happened.
Yeah, there was a northern Minnesota. It was a family reunion and
I was there. We won't let the cats out because the one is stupid
and dumb, and also idiots drive down our street at like seventy miles per
hour. You're referring to plastic eater. Yeah, yeah, I love Elliott,
but he's just yeah, he's not outside material. Now he does every
now and then he'll try to escape, like hell, he'll jump out the
door. Like when I get home. He'll be like, ah, I'm
out on the porch. Yeah, and then he does this thing where he
looks around like, oh my god, what in the and then his anxiety
chick completely. He's like, oh I made it out. Oh my god,
what is all this? Yeah? All right, So the cheap,
cheap o cat litter is I didn't know. I don't have cats, so
never I had to deal with cat litter man. Yeah. See, the
mayor's doing you a favor. If you missed yesterday's show, you missed a
lot. That's all I'm saying. All right, uh oh, so let
me let me get into this because I'm sure this is gonna be just lovely
the Biden administration. Oh, I was doing the rundown and I hit the
Also on the show today at eight oh five, the Treasurer will join us
the state. The State Treasurer Ross is so like he's like a litter expert.
He's so proud of himself. What are you gonna do? Man?
If he can't get to if he can't get the good stuff, you make
the cat hold it. I'll get the dude. I'm not worried. Are
you gonna go all like Christmas? The cot Christmas toy in there. Oh
you okay, okay, he's gonna he got a litter dealer. I'm not
not giving with my sources. I'm saying, when there's things brun low at
the girl, I'm not worried. If any of you are a long haul
trucker and you're hauling cat litter, I'd be very careful right now, accidents
happen, Although that sounds like an accident that would clean itself up, you
know what I'm saying, all the fuel and oil all over the road,
boom handled. The state State patrol might just appreciate that, all right.
Anyway, Yeah, so Del Fallwell we'll join us coming up eight oh five.
Obviously they have passed a budget. Well, once you have a budget,
now it's up to the Treasurer's office to provide any of the oversight,
the management, the you know, passing the money out and and you know,
as a caveat as well. Deal Fallwell is also running for governor,
so I figured let's have everybody who's running for governor at some point on this
week. Although we're gonna be talking to him, not in that capacity,
but in the treasure capacity, because now the ball is over in his court,
So we'll pick we'll pick through that because there's some interesting stuff in there.
And when I say interesting, I don't mean that I'm happy about it.
So you know, just know that that's a thing that's coming. All
right, all right? Anyway back to this President Joe Biden reportedly creating the
first ever federal Office of Gun Violence Prevention. Why not? So who do
you think it's going to be on there? Do you think it'll be a
mix a mix of pro Second Amendment and you know, people looking for solutions
to problems that don't violate our independent constitutional rights, along with people who probably
have a more activist approach. Do you think it's going to be that?
Or did you hear the story yesterday where they're having a National Intelligence Advisory Board
and they're putting Brennan and Clapper on it, the guys who not only led
the charge to debunk the Hunter Biden laptop incorrectly debunk, but also were the
main driving forces in many instances for the Russian You know, Trump's a Russian
Manchurian candidate, garbage that we spent tens of millions of dollars on and hamstrung
the ability of Trump to probably get a few more things done. Nope,
No, they're gonna stuff this whole Gun control activists a board with gun control
activists man absolutely Stephanie Feldman, who you probably don't know, will handle the
office's work and then liaise to the White House. She is staff secretary,
but she's a big gun control person and she has been with Biden for a
very long time and handles specializes in gun control research, so she's going to
be on the administrative side. Let's see here, Peter Ambler, executive director
of Gifford's that's a gad. That's Gabby Gifford's gun grabber group, so that's
fun. Rob Wilcox, Greg Jackson. Those are two guys from the Community
Justice Action Fund, which is a really it's a it's a big moonbat organization,
and part of the work that they do is try to crap all over
your Second Amendment, in my opinion, and it's just gonna be great,
I'm sure for everybody because it at the end of the day, it's I
don't know that it has any official pull, but it will be treated like
it does when politicians go out and do speeches. They'll be able to go
According to the White House Office of gunt on the according to the White House
Office of Gun Violence Prevention, Right, they'll say it like it's some sort
of governmental entity, but it's not. And of course when you ask it
a question like a rigged AI, Hey, what should we do about guns,
it will spit out a predetermined and easily predictable response. Grab them,
get them, take them away, Limit this, limit that. So just
know that that canard will be will be hoisted upon the public very very soon.
And who's all behind it? Meanwhile, the idiots over at the View
or they're doing their own thing to combat gun violence. Yesterday on the View,
they spent much of a good chunk of the show fan girling over Natasha
betting what was her big hit? Na I remember that during my music here
it was unwritten unwritten that's right, and Milk, I don't know who that
is, the other singer. It's spelled and it's all in caps, and
it's spelled m I L C K Milk any who. So they, along
with the View, produced a the cringiest anti gun song I've ever heard.
I don't know what the hell's going on here, But then they played it.
They had a live performance they got all excited about it. Oh,
sorry, was utting some geese. Oh wow, yeah, I went to
the ghost. That's ironic. I'm in my blind and there it goes is
it's it's not the season. When enough show, when fus cry? When
enough full saying? When enough saying? When when me echo's brave? When
all of us screaming, by the way, scream. That's not how gun
legislation works. You can't just have enough scream. Now. If you throw
in the thirty five dude as part of your screaming, it will be heard
by a lot of people. Ain't gonna do anything. Oh my gosh,
the goose is back. Oh I missed him again. No, have you
had enough? I feel bad for Ross. There's some mornings when I look
up at the button bar and everything he's had to dub in, and I
realized that your soul is just sapped right away. Right he didn't have that
thirty five guy at the beginning, so you had to dub in this and
lye in Merrick Garland, which we'll get to. And I know I'm at
the point where it doesn't even bother him anymore. I'm like, wait,
what do you got today? Whatever? Check it off the list. Really,
this didn't I didn't bother you. No, it's more like a look
at these weirdos. If you don't know what dad is, I'll tell you
a little bit. Also, I mentioned Mary Garland and he decided to come
into Congress and lie through his teeth. In my opinion, he doesn't.
I'm convinced if you take him at face value, nobody tells him anything,
and he doesn't see any paperwork from his office. What does he do is
you just sit in there and have one of those little put things over at
the Department of Justice, just you know, just practicing, just practicing his
puts. Because he knows nothing. He is the schultziest of the schultz.
It's really bad and we'll get to it coming up next on the k c
O Day radio program Thank You. KSE is on ninety four five w PTI
in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. We
are such as this society, we are such coddled children, so annoying.
Let Darwin do is thing. So I saw this headline and I assumed that
it had to be some sort of like listeria thing. And normally when they're
like oh, we're having a recall. And it's like on lettuce, like
or spinach. Right, there's always a spinach recall. Like I'm like,
oh, okay, I just keep I'll just go look at something else because
it doesn't impact me. Okay, I'm not buying bags of spinach this one,
though. Kraft announces a recall of their processed American cheese slices. The
Craft singles I got some of my fridge right now because I like grilled cheese
sandwiches when it's raining. Some tomato soup, although I like that three peppered
tomato it comes in the box. Campbell's is fine, but you know,
I like to mix it up and I put a lot of hot sauce in
there too. But mmmmm, grilled cheese, sandwich, some soup. That's
that's a good stuff right there. Man, the European mind can't comprehend the
greatness of Americans. No, I'll SnO, We're French. Okay, good
for you. No, that's that's the that's the adult version of the government
cheese, you know what I'm saying. And you could try to do grilled
cheese with regular slices and stuff, but it doesn't have the meltability. Sometimes
I throw two on there. Yeah, go a little crazy every now and
then. All right, so why was it recalled? No, it's none
of that. According to Kraft Hinds, who produces it, up to eighty
three thousand cases of the Craft singles are being recalled due to a choking hazard.
What what? What ross making this face? Right? I know it
did. Greg didn't track with me either. Here's what happened. Apparently,
you know when you know, yeah, you you flip, you flipped a
little flap up and then you that the cheese comes out. Well, apparently
there wasn't enough strength on one of those angles, so there's a chance that
that front piece of the plastic will stay on there. So you only get
half the plastic off, and six people almost choked to death if you can't
handle unwrapping a piece of cheese even Look, if you buy the generic slices,
which you can a lot of times they don't, that's like that's a
feature. Yeah. You know a lot of companies have started changing how they
like wrap their stuff for the containers the food is in because of inflation.
They're trying to keep costs down. Yeah, I've noticed this. Give an
example, we like the Lincoln Loves the mashed potatoes. You had the powdered
mashed potatoes you put in the microwave. Yeah, yeah, Okay. So
the cups used to have used to open the top and they used to be
like a black line on the inside, like fill the water up here,
and that line doesn't exist anymore. Like the packaging isn't the same now,
it's like this, the quality of the paper that the cup is is different
now. So it's like, hey, fill it up to the imaginary line
that you have to just sort of make up in your head, and you're
like, maybe it's here, maybe it's there. And it's like little changes
like that that we've seen across the board. Across the board. Man across
the board, I'm sure they're like, oh, we're gonna change the wrapping
of our cheese. And now everybody's choking on it because they can't get the
wrapping off the cheese. But look at the cheese, like you can you
can see if the wrappings on the cheese if you're a grown adult and you
just take it for grant, and plus the thing that's in your hand is
now not the size that you know it should be and you stuff that in
your face and almost choked to death. Oh no, I agree with you.
I'm just saying that's why it's probably happy. Yeah, no, no,
no, I agree, you're right. No, you gotta be at
you know you're not good at the game of life. Okay, you're a
COO two liability if I get green with you. That was the first one.
You remember. All the water bottle companies are like, we're trying to
save the play it so our water bottles are so thin that if you put
them in your backpack they'll immediately explode. But it's just because we're going green
that we're using one third the plastic in our bottles that we ever did before,
and not because it's an immense cost savings to us because water is basically
free for us. Oh it's so annoying. I'm sorry. Yeah. So
if you're choking on plastic and your craft singles, maybe this life ain't for
you. Well, I gotta tell you that turned the whole morning around right
there. Man, here, I am all depressed because they're putting a gun
grabber office together. The other day they put together a twenty thousand young In's
Climate Corps, which even no matter which Republican wins, will be too much
of a coward to disband this nonsense. You just watch because the media will
be like, why did you fire the children? But won't be you know,
won't call up the mayors behind over, you know, sapping their Christmas
spirit. But but then Ross said, dude, there's chargrill in the fridge.
There is there's hot dogs and hamburgers and the little apple McDonald's apple thing.
Knockoff. Everything's okay, do whatever you want, mister President. I
got chargrill. Don't worry about that jet. We'll get a new one.
Ah nah nah. Because that I had to watch Merrick Garland testify yesterday and
just lie. He's either the most uninformed person to ever serve as Attorney General
or completely full of garbage. I'll let you pick. I'll let you choose.
Listen to this insanity. Whoop, Well, then hit the right button.
All right, here we go. Listen to this insanity. Why am
I not hearing my button? Bar? What is going on now? In
that? There we go? That was your answer to a question to me
two years ago when I said how many agents or assets of the government were
present on January fifth and January sixth and agitating in the crowd to go into
the capitol. And how many went into the capitol? Can you answer that
now? I don't know the answer to that question, Oh, last time,
you don't know how many there were or there were none. I don't
know the answer to either of those questions. If there were any. I
don't know how many. You don't know whether there are any. I think
you may have just perjured yourself that you don't know that there were any.
You want to say that again, that you don't know that there were any
personal knowledge of this matter, no, no, nothing. The single greatest
lift of prosecutions that his department is undertaking and has undertaken in since you know
they were chasing organized crime. He doesn't know anything about the incident that spurred
it. Who's buying that? And then you know, the other day they
decided to go ahead and indite Ray Epps on a misdemeanor. Meanwhile, we
got people going to jail for not even being there, for taking pictures.
We had a journalist locally who was convicted of misdemeanors for journalism in but not
doing it with an ABC credential. And he's just saying, I don't know.
Was that a thing that was okay, I don't know. By the
way, that was in reference to Ray Epps, and yesterday you indicted him.
Isn't that a wonderful coincidence on a misdemeanor. Meanwhile, you're sending Grandma's
to prison. You're putting people away for twenty years for merely filming. Some
people weren't even there yet. You got the guy on video, he's saying,
go into the capitol. He's directing people through the capitol before the speech.
Answer, he's at the site of the first breach. You've got all
the goods on him, ten videos, and it's a it's an indictment for
a misdemeanor. The American public isn't buying it. I yielded to bounce of
my time to Chairman Jordan. Yeah, I answer the question. Oh you're
gonna answer, Oh, okay. The cases were filed with respect to January
six. The Just Department prosecutors provided whatever information they had about the question that
you're asking. With respect to mister e F's the FBI has said that he
was not an employee or informant of the FBI. Mister Epps has been charged
and there's a proceeding I believe going on today. Uh okay, all right,
And by the way, they met the reference to Grammars in prison is
not just January sixth. The other day they convicted three women of protesting at
an abortion clinic in Washington. An abortion clinic by the way that some groups
that you know go in to check in to make sure they're following the law.
We're able to literally pull a box of fetuses. They were able to
acquire a box of fetuses for them, which is a huger from them,
which is a huge no no. So that's very same clinic was being and
the women did what you see every moonbat protester on the planet doing. They
positioned themselves to obstruct the ability to walk into the clinic and then you know,
went limp and then eventually we pulled out. Two of the women are
in their seventies. We're gonna get ten years. They're gonna get ten years
because they have a juiced up law that dumbass Republicans, some of which signed
on to that make this the worst kind of protesting ever ever. Ever.
Do you know how many people got ten years for all of the crap that
happened in Portland. I think it's one dude who went after who attacked that
officer with a hammer. I'm pretty sure he got more than ten years.
Maybe there's a handful of others. They assaulted a federal building, caused multiple
injuries to law enforcement, through bombs, through like fire, a molotov cocktail
kind of stuff because they were trying. He set it on fire, lasers,
high powered lasers into their eyes, and you name it. And nobody's
doing ten years. These ladies sat there and they're in their seventies and they're
probably gonna get ten years. The only grandma's should go to jail. Well,
my grandmother for the clean Plate club. I was convinced, which if
you don't know what that is, that's when you go over to Grandma's and
if you don't eat everything that will you serve to you, it's your next
meal where, regardless of whatever else is coming out and lo and behold,
if you don't eat something you don't like, the next meal is going to
be your favorite thing and you don't get any of it. And that's psychological
torture, that's guantana. Well, that's waterboarding. Locked my grandmother up.
God rest her soul. But they did. They did with all of these
these protesters that blocking the roads were doing and people literally an ambulances couldn't get
through, and they didn't even get jail time. This guy who went over
to UNC to threaten people with a firearm, who a week before threatened other
people near UNC with a firearm and was out, that dude's not gonna get
ten years, mark my words. But a bunch of grandmas. Sure,
I understand. Look, I understand police are well within their rights if they're
going to be sitting there and having a protest right and they're going to disobey
what the laws are. You can't obstruct the entry or exit of a facility.
And I understand that police are going to go there and they're going to
arrest them, and they're gonna trespass them, and they may cite them if
they've been trespassed before. I get all of that. That's what that protest
is supposed to be. That's what it used to be, but that's changed
now. It's who you be. Case in point, Reverend soul Glow,
the buffets Layer and his band of merry idiots by the hundreds getting arrested obstructing
the business of the North Carolina Senate and then Judge just throwing those out,
prosecutors not going after them. They were having a sitting. Part of the
deal is civil disobedience. You do this, you're gonna get popped on the
record, and then you go. In Washington, DC. It's so common,
which is by the way, where this clinic was in Washington, DC,
it's so common that they give the protesters fifty dollars. Why because Washington
DC put together a thing because they do a lot of civil disobedience master arrest,
because that's where people go to protest. Where yet you can literally settle
your citation. It's an administrative thing. You can settle your citation on site,
so they have that money in their pocket ready to go. When they
were pulling people one after another out of the Supreme Court hearing for Brett Kavanaugh,
that's what was happening. They were pulling him out of there and they
were settling up the citation and then that was it. This man is a
criminal, in my opinion, and by the way I think he is.
I think he is such a bitter piece of garbage because he wanted to be
a court justice and all of the people that he's taken his vengeance on out
Now, while they may not have been directly involved, they probably voted for
some of the people that kept him from being that justice. And now he
will never be a Supreme Court justice unless I guess somebody, somebody kicks or
resigns and Biden gets to make an appointment. Maybe he'll have Mary Garland in
there. But that's what he wanted, that's what his ego demanded. And
these are the people, and these are the supporters of the people that he
is now targeting and has the audacity to go in there and act like he
doesn't He doesn't know nothing. He doesn't know nothing. Have you had personal
contact with anyone at FBI headquarters about the Hunter Biden investigation? Uh? Don't,
I don't. I don't recollect the answer to that question. But the
FBI works for the Justice Department. Do you believe that? Do you believe
he can't recollect act one way or the other. I'm sorry, I'm sorry,
you don't recollect. You don't recollect. Whether you've talked with anybody at
FBI headquarters about an investigation of the president's son. I don't believe that.
I did, and there will be other than this dog and pony. Nothing
will happen to this man and everything, everything legally would be very clear here,
everything legally should happen to him. He should be removed from office.
He should be if he's perjuring himself right now, held accountable for that.
He should embrace the justice that he feels he's putting out into the world.
But it won't happen because not only is the system now broke, so much
of it has been uncovered and they realize there's such little consequences for it that
now it's just much more blatant. They realize they don't have to hide this
garbage. They can just do it because screw you, what are you going
to do about it? That's how you get testimony like that yesterday, all
right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four coming up. Sometimes
you just gotta let it go. I guess that'd be the words, the
words I would use to go ahead and describe that. By the way,
Ross, I'm gonna eat the sandwich. I have this fork wrapped in the
pat I just leave the plastic on the fork right when I eat the chargrill
Here, I mean I personally would probably take it off. But I mean,
but it's on there. You it did come on there? Correct?
Yeah, there's no warning label. There is no wow. So if I
choke, will you follow a lawsuit on my behalf or I will? Okay,
all right, here we go, I'll take off the plastic. Get
coward. I'm too stupid. I don't know how it works, good lord.
Seven eighteen Hang on, this is one oh six one FM talk in
the Triangle and he was talking nine four five w PTI and the try head
that's what you heard? Huh? I mean I thought I heard I was
a gass try to. Did I say I wanted kids to choke to death?
Have I jumped on the Mary Anne Baldwin train destroying it? No?
So some ladies upset because I was that was the craft singles thing. She's
like, well, sometimes I gift craft singles to my kid and he's not
a position to nest because he's a kid. All right, Well, then
it's your fault. How about that, dude. I mean, I'm assuming
you open them for him, right, or at the very least maybe you
should. Did you? Is that how you thought that email was gonna go?
I was gonna apologize. How about don't give timmy hand grenades to play
with. Okay, there's a parenting it's Casey's parenting corner. See I'm going
the opposite route. Now available in the haze for sheriff twitch channel this bag
of glass. Yeah, we had a bunch of fun stuff. Before you
hand your child something to eat, maybe make sure there's not choking stuff on
it. Am I like you, at certain ages, you wouldn't give a
kid a thing with bones in it, right, You wouldn't give it to
your damn pet with bones in it. So no, we have to be
super safe with Lincoln obviously because of you know, yeah, the issues there.
But it's like no, same thing, Like like Hesy's daddy eating chicken
wings and he's like, why why want chicken wings? I'm like, you're
gonna have to hold off for now because you'll probably choke. How spicy would
he want them? Though? That's like he's probably not as spicy as dad.
That's the that's the other problem. Once you're finally ready to give them
chicken wings, you're gonna have to get starter chicken wings instead of bright Ben't
he would? He would? He'd ingest and be like never again. Right,
yeah, you don't want to turn him off. So people are right,
you mean there's a rapper on those slices. You know what, if
it's working, I bet your clean as a whistle, sir, So good
for you. Oh my goodness, everyone's insane speaking of in saying a Danish
artist, you know what, actually I'm about I'm gonna take this dude's side.
A Danish artist. He is whiny as hell later in this story,
but I'm gonna go with him. A Danish artist is being asked to return
the money he was paid by the Kunstein Music of Modern Art in Dead Mark.
That's so weird. I'm not going to that if I ever. I'm
on vacation. I got one of those travel guides, you know. It's
like, do you want to go to the You'll go the Anne Frank House.
Do you want to see Justin Bieber's signature? Do you want to do
or do you want to go to this modern art museum which I'm not going
to repeat again. Whatever, So anyway, these nitwits they give this uh
this uh Danish artist Jen's hunts hunting h five hundred thirty two thousand crowns about
seventy seventy six thousand US dollars so that he could create an art to two
pieces of art for art exhibit there. So they give them this. They
give him seventy six thousand dollars, and then the day came and he provided
two blank canvases entitled take the money and run good your modern art, garbage
bananas, tape to walls. You gave him seventy six thousand. You gave
you Mike canvases. Take the money and run is the name of it.
It's appropriate. And the guy's complaining that they didn't pay him enough. Just
quit while you're ahead, sir. I'm on your side. Smart Talk all
day, w PTI and the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in
the Triangle. Because that might be a bad person. I don't think it
does. All right, Welcome back casey O Day radio program where we want
your kids to choke or something. That lady's big mad at me, by
the way, because I was called her a horrible parent. No, I
said, if you don't remove the plastic before you try to shut your feed
it to a kid who's just gonna show whatever you give him in his mouth,
you're a bad parent. So if you don't do that, you're fine,
ma'am. Okay, we're good, all right, excuse me the family
of a North Carolina man. I feel like we have a theme here of
people making bad decisions and not really trying to keep their head on a swivel.
Maybe a little less with this in the sense that I don't know visibly
what it looks like. But I stand by my plastic commentary, all right,
because when you first read the headline, you're like, oh, you
know, idiot drives to Michael Scott in the lake, right. I think
it's different, Yes, I do. I do agree. However, I
have we have weather roads. I think I've mentioned this out Wyamy. We
have what are called weather roads, and if it's a weather road, the
road might not be there. This is a little different in the sense that
it looks like he wasn't on a road, but you'd be the judge.
The headline Ross is referring to as this man, following Google map directions,
drove off collapsed NC bridge and died. Now his family is suing. Philip
Packson, a medical device salesman and father of two, drowned September thirtieth of
last year, after his jeep Gladiator plunged into which songs the Gladiator is that
the one you had? No, I don't know what the Gladiator is anyways,
after his jeep plunged into snow Creek in Hickory. According to a lawsuit
filed Tuesday, Paxson was driving home from his daughter's ninth birthday party through an
unfamiliar neighborhood so he lives in Hickory, through an unfamiliar neighborhood when Google Maps
allegedly directed him to cross a bridge that had collapsed nine years prior and was
never repaired. See and this is why I asked if the bridge has been
out for nine years and it's not a maintained roadway obviously, because there's no
bridge there anymore. I have a hard time. I'd have to see a
picture because I'd have a hard time thinking that the road looks like it just
continues perfectly and there's not like overgrown grass and you know cud zoo or you
know the stuff that literally would infest an area like that if there's no traffic
anymore. But it is nighttime and Google's like, hey, yeah, should
I go for this bridge? Problem? Was bridge has gone been gone for
nine years, was never repaired, and they didn't have a barricade block in
it. The other thing is is it doesn't sound like the bridge sits on
public property either, which is weird. So did they I guess maybe when
the bridge collapsed they took it out of public domain and maybe sold that area.
But I don't know how useful a bridge over a creek would be,
or where there was a bridge. State troopers later found Paxson's body and is
overturned and partially submerged truck. They said there had been no barriers or warning
signs along the washed out roadway. He had driven off an unguarded edge and
crashed about twenty feet below. According to lawsuit, the state patrol said the
bridge was not maintained by local or state officials, and the original developers company
had dissolved. See that's why now they're getting into developers and stuff. This
is why I'm like, maybe this isn't even And the lawsuit does name several
private property management companies that claims are responsible for the bridge and adjoining lands,
so it's not on public property. The whole thing is weird. I guess
my question is, yeah, to Ross's point, there's you know, like
there's the comedic he followed Google and drove into a lake thing they did on
the office and others. Obviously, this is not a laughing matter. If
father of two drowned and died just trying to get home from a birthday party.
Right, you're driving down and then in the dark, you're driving down
a road you've never been on before, and you know it's a windy road
or whatever, and the suddenly the bridge isn't there. How is that road
even still open? Though? I don't understand. Yeah, the whole thing
is baffling because it's not. I think it's open because I again, I
I don't believe for a minute that it looks like a continuation of a main
road. There's there has to be like plants growing out through cracks and sometime.
Mean, you know what happens when you don't do anything for roads in
North Carolina. Everything grows here. Everything we've all driven in South Carolina.
And they're so, yes, yeah, that's a very good point. It's
a very good point. So it's a sad story. But I but suing.
I mean, the reason you sue Google, obviously is Google's got the
you know, they got the Moneys, and if the original management company has
already dissolved, you don't really have anyone you can sue there, so you
go after it. So do you think Google has liability though? I mean,
they're only good is what people report and if if. But here's the
thing though, because in the in the video anyway that went along with the
article that I tweeted out at the show kind of casey in the radio.
Yeah I'm gonna play I'm gonna play the lawyer here in just a minute from
it. But anyway, yeah, they say several people in the past have
reported it to Google. Yes, yeah, yeah, yeah, but I've
report I'll tell I'll tell you what. I'll tell you. The So the
entrance into the Raleigh studios is a straight shot right when you turn off of
Highwood's Boulevard, straight shot down Smoke Tree and then that's where you get to
the studio. However, I have been in an Uber which utilizes somehow I
think they utilize Google Maps or something. And if if an Uber driver,
like if what, I've gone to the airport literally from here, I'll see
the Uber driver coming and it will tell the Uber driver to turn in.
But remember that was a hospital auxiliary where it was the hospital payment processing center
ross the building up towards the entrance, and it's got that windy parking lot
through it. It will tell the driver to drive through that parking lot instead
of coming down our perfectly straight street. So and then you can you can
report that stuff, but I don't does Google have an obligation to fix that?
Is? I guess what the question is going to be. Here's the
lawyer. By the way, in this case, we expect what I think
everyone would expect, which is, if you're going to plug in directions on
Google or any of these other apps, that they give you safe and proper
directions. Yeah. I mean, but this seems like a very extreme example
because nine years, multiple people reporting it and it's still it's still in the
system. But a bridge could wash out tomorrow, do you know what I'm
saying? A bridge could Like you know, we had some bridges go on
the Cape Fear during one of the last big hurricane pushes a few years ago.
The video of it, it's crazy, man. So the next day
if somebody drives tries to drive over it and plunges into that, you know,
into the is the Cape Fire river or is Google liable for that?
What if somebody told Google that day that it did it, and then two
days later it happens. Okay, now how about five days? I mean
nine years is nine years, but I don't know, man, and on
another process for checking it. But it's the whole Story's crazy, man,
all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Mister
Ray Stagick from the Weather Channel. He's joining us. Should be. I
gotta assume it's gonna be a bloodbath tonight, right. Uh? The Giants
Niners, Giants Niners? Yeah, I don't know. Did you see the
Giants the first week? Are you familiar with how they did? I think
it depends on who's calling the plays. Like I think if the ball calls
the plays, maybe they have a chance. Maybe. Okay, he called
that second half? Wait, no, who Barkley? Now? You said?
Yeah, I can't. His name's Jared, Jared Jared bark I'm only
good with last names. Listen. I call everybody by their last name.
So yeah, it's probably gonna be a two touchdown game. You guys beat
him forty to nothing, and I think San Francisco's better than you. Well,
yes, I agree, with that at least right now on paper,
Yes, I'm right right now, Okay, that's not a hack on your
guys. Just your defense is probably going to be one of the highest ranked
in history if it keeps up. But I think on paper, San Francisco
is better than you, and that's a dack issue. That's not a defensive
issue. Absolutely, yeah, absolutely, I'm still not on board. Yeah,
okay, three touchdowns? Is that better? All right? I just
think it's to the point where I'm like, is it. I don't know
if it's gonna be interesting to watch? But whatever that's you know, Yeah,
well we we wanted over early anyway, so we can go to sleep,
right, So well, I need something to illicitly gamble on. Come
on, man, Yeah, exactly. I don't want to kill any fund
for the weekend, especially if you are heading east. There's already gale warnings,
high surf advisories out near the beach, rep current statements up. Let
me see if these are in effect already. Yeah, yes, eighty.
They'll kick in tomorrow morning through Saturday evening for strong winds could be tropical storm
force wins with this low pressure system that's going to develop and come up the
coast and maybe go right into the southeast coast of North Carolina. And it
may or may not have a name. It may or not be a tropical
or not or tropical storm, or it just may be a plane all area
of low pressure. It's still going to be a strong one and gusty wins
and some heavy rainfall, which it's probably going to get into the Triangle as
we go through later Saturday and then try itads a little tougher forecast. Right
now, we're gonna go with a chance of rain with the best chance east
and then less west and the mountains. It may not be any at all,
but leading up to that we should be in pretty good shape. So
we'll fall back through today, some clouds in, some sunshine and spots low
eighties, tonight in the sixties, and that rain chance goes east to west
as we go through tomorrow afternoon to tomorrow evening, better chance tomorrow night,
lay into Saturday, especially triangle L and east, get a little breezy everywhere,
and then sunshineer shill return on Sunday, So it doesn't look nice in
the eastern half of the state, especially out near the outer banks. On
Saturday, there'll be some flooding too. So just because we don't have a
name on this thing, we know, just like some of those winter storms
we can get, we'll get flooding in the outer banks, and some of
that inundation could be into some homes and some properties, especially with a strong
north northeast flow that'll come on in with that water rise, so kind of
asty. But what surrounds it's actually pretty good. And even early next week
we should be in pretty good shape. Okay, all right, Hey,
by the way, you want to hear something really depressing the room today?
Oh you know what? And actually not did you see the dude that they
interviewed in South Carolina about the jet? I did not, you see,
if you see this video, you will turn it off because you'll think it's
fake, like Ross and I both did yesterday. So this guy who lives
out the swamp, you know, Ghola, Geechee or whatever. The various
folks are out there on the islands out there. So this dude lives out
there, he's wearing a flak jacket and he's being interviewed about what he heard,
which was his jet hovering. And then obviously there's some problems that ensued
and it's one of the greatest man on the street interviews. I have ever
seen you? Ready for this? Yeah? And bad don't taken to show
you? And I heard us a screeching saw that between a screeching a whistle
and boom in my whole house the quest barken at me. I look,
must watch the meeting right coming out of space or something. How well there's
that playing? It need to be reported. But nothing with flying? Just
how great is that? Dude? That's all? And now you know where
how Spain got that sound for their their song jump around? Listen? Listen
how well it works? You ready the wall of this? Hold on?
And I heard us about screeching between a screeching a whistle. Wow, that's
almost identical, it is. It's his voice laid over it. Oh okay,
that's his scream laid over where the sound normally is. That's great.
Oh man, what a day with a day? All right, we can't
get too long, thanks man, alright, have a forty nine. How
Ross and I both were like, God, that ain't real. There's no
way it's real. Ah any who, all right, we'll be back.
Hang on one oh six one FM Talk and ninety four five w PTI,
two stations driving the best in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's
Corning News. Well it's not gonna outdo the Bills fan from earlier in the
week. If you miss that story, this that story you missed. So
some dude, some Bills fan. I thought this was America. Fuck?
Is this America? I thought this was America. Yeah, there's an actual
audio from him, although I think he'd be a little slurrier considering they said
he was on what LSD, meth and drunk and marijuana. So what did
he do? He went over the old porta potty, slathered himself up in
that goodness, and then ran through the parking lot, eventually making his way
into the construction zone because they're doing what a lot of stadiums do, where
they're building the new stadium right next to the old stadium and it's in its
infancy. So he ran covered in all of that naked. Oh yeah,
I mentioned he's naked, high on LSD and everything, and just ran right
off the edge of the construction zone off of a thirty foot drop. Did
you see the photo of the guy? No? No, I did not.
Well, I just retweeted it and the showcount reposted whatever they call on
the on the show account. Oh no, there is a photo of him
coming out of the porta potty. Oh no, all right, hold on,
before he ran into the pit. That's gonna be underwear on. So
I guess he removed that because they said he was naked, So he must
have ripped those off. Two dad, and he's covered in the I mean
he could put more on the other side. What is going on? Yeah,
there's the construction fence, you know. I wonder how he got around
it like a squirrel man making his way through there. Uh, and he
tag bills mafia. Why would you want to own that? Well, we
said he did nothing wrong. So he's lived with heartbreak his entire life,
and then you're gonna charge him with this. It's double Jeopardy's unconstitutional. I
don't believe that's true, but okay. However, in Michigan, slightly different
situation. Thus we had to make the comparison. A Michigan woman accidentally dropped
her Apple watch while utilizing this gross an out house and a boat launch,
right, So the things things out in middle of nowhere on Dixon Lake that's
up in northern Michigan, and she's got to use the porta potti there just
doing her thing, and you know, so it's actually it's bigger than a
normal porta potti. It's not a plastic one, it's actual fixed one.
But it ain't any better because they're out in the wilderness, so that is
right into a pit in the ground, and so there's a lot of depth,
is the point that I'm making here. She dropped her Apple Watch in
there, and rather than just going whoop, guess I'm getting a new Apple
Watch, she was not deterred. That's a pun. Get it, okay,
not deterred, Okay, So she climbed down in there attempt or she
attempted to basically use her feet to hold her while she lowered her lower body
into the pit and grab it. But she slipped and went face first,
splashing down into the pit. And it's so far down she couldn't get out.
So she was in there for quite a while screaming. Eventually somebody heard
her, or some of some park person or whatever heard her, and police
had to show up, and you can there's literally a bunch of photos of
them having to like put a rope ladder down there to get her out,
and they hoisted her out and you're just climbing up like please don't fall right,
yes, And they didn't say whether she got her watch, but did
warn others that's a bad idea. All right, the treasure joins us.
Next they'll fall. Well, we'll talk to him. All right. Good
wanted everybody, and welcome. It is eight o seven here on your Thursday
morning Casey O Day Radio program. Thank you for hanging out with us.
So obviously this week we've been talking an awful lot about the budget, the
North Carolina budget, which of course has been a big focus for you know,
going on a month and a half or whatever, and of course the
governor's trying to make as much hay as he can. But as we discussed
yesterday, we had Mark Robinson on yesterday too, and even Mark Walker called
in, so I thought, let's have everybody's run for governor on. But
I want to talk to him in his capacity as treasurer because now it's a
big pile of money and there's a bunch of stuff that's in there, and
somebody's got to figure it out and keep an eye on it. And that
man is Dale Folwell, our state Treasurer and again full disclosure candidate for governor.
Good morning, Dale, how you doing. I'm doing fantastic, Thank
you for having me on this morning. So let's talk about the heavy lift
that your office now has with now that we know what's in the budget process
is going through and everyone's been talking about what they like, what they don't
like. But what does it mean for the Treasurer's office now, Well,
what it means is certainty, especially for those that teach, protect and otherwise
serve. And the state budget is normally done before July forth and now we're
after Labor Day, so we're very sad glad that they're actually getting this done.
It's very important for the Treasure's office because the three most important expense,
biggest some of the biggest, three biggest expenses of the state budget are things
happen to do with the Treasurer's office fully funding the state retirement system, which
they did this year, nearly fully funding the State Help Plan, which is
one of the most insolvent plans in the United States, and thirdly paying the
interest on the debt, and fourthly giving me a provision when opportunities arise where
we can actually retire the state debt at a discount. It'd be like somebody
knocking on your door and offering your mortgage back to you at a lower price.
Those are all in the budget. We're very grateful about that. Talk
about how we compare to other states from a debt perspective. Obviously, you
know ten years ago a lot of things change from rainy day funds to debt
management. But there's a lot of people still think that even with the Republicans
now, they're spending too much. So how do we look compared to the
rest of the folks around us? Often wear lapel pin and that has n
C on it, which stands for nothing compares, and as the chair of
the State Banking Commission, it also stands for no crisis, nothing compares.
In relation to your particular question is that I wouldn't trade places with any of
the state treasurer in the United States. But the credit goes to the employers,
your advertisers, and taxpayers like you and the General Assembly, both present
and passed, who have had the discipline and strategy to balance their budget,
build surpluses, established rainy day funds. We also, on top of that
casey, we're in the process of retiring sixty percent of the state general obligation
debt over an eight year period of time. No city, no state,
no country has ever retired sixty percent of their general obligation debt. And so
that is one major reason why we just got designated back to back number one
for business outlooking business activity. And on top of that, the corporate income
tax is being eliminated the next thirty months. I think we're the first state
who actually had a corporate income tax to actually eliminate the corporate income tax.
This is going to be a further gold rush for business activity in our state,
which benefits the people. We have responsibility for public education, public safety,
public works, and public roads. Let me actually slide into one portion
of this, and that has to do with healthcare for a couple of reasons.
One, a Medicaid expansion is in this. We have seen states that
jumped in initially and thought everything was going to be great, it wouldn't cost
him anything. That didn't turn out to be the case. And also,
you've been I would say you've been having to drag them through it, but
your office has been heavily involved in switching up how some of the healthcare works.
For state employees here and to say that the companies have been kicking and
screaming over this as an understatement judging by the press releases I see. So
talk to me about where we are with that. Is there concerns from a
treasure's perspective on the Medicaid expansion and how's the switch over going of the insurance.
Well, I'm glad to talk about that. I was afraid I was
going to talk about cat letter this morning on this interview. But people,
yeah, you don't want or most cycles or yoga. But let's go specifically
to your question. We are still fighting. We're under siege by the healthcare
cartail in this state. Uh, none of your listeners know consume healthcare consumes
them. As far as specifically to your question about Medicaid expansion, is very
important to know that the problem with healthcare in this state is not a revenue
problem, which is what Medicaid expansion is. The problem with healthcare in this
state is a cost problem. And on behalf of those that teach, protect
and serve, we continue to try to bring the cartel to the table and
drive down costs so that we can lower the family premium for the average state
employee. A Treasure's office does not determine what state employees make. We really
bust our tails to make sure that whatever they make they get to keep as
much of it as possible. The one of the other things I saw.
And this will impact people who even even people who are not on a they're
not a state employee. You're also fighting this thing where they don't want to
tell you how much the health insurance costs. Right, is that this is
a thing where there's there's not the visibility and the readiness to provide those numbers.
And it sounds pretty scummy in my opinion. Well, it is,
and it is a cartail. And I used to stutter when I started taking
classes once the same state, and I was advised by my professor to go
the Wester's Dictionary when I was struggling to find just the right word. Cartail
is defined as associations which are formed to restrict competition and rage prices. They
control the supply of their product through something called certificate in need. The short
version of that is con. It's a con the people to state they do
not match the charity care with the billions of dollars of tax benefit they get.
They continue to defide both presidents. Both presidents executive orders Trump and Biden's
executive orders to get rid of secret contracts. And now the latest reports that
we put out the Treasure's office that people can actually go and be informed,
not just be affirmed about what they think, but be informed, showing that
they're breaking kneecaps, destroying people's credit scores, charging people different prices based on
what type of insurance card they have in their pocket, and actually putting leans
on people's homes who do not pay their medical bill. None of your listeners
consume healthcare. It consumes them. And as the keeper of the public person
the state treasurer in North Carolina, I am not going to be on the
wrong side of history regarding this. So the fiscal position that we're in,
and I'm going to dig a little into your current position, but also,
as somebody who's running for governor, you probably have some thoughts on this.
So just know that I'm approaching this from two different ways. What do you
see out there that could be detrimental to the financial security that we seem to
have achieved in North Carolina. Is it the inflation that's going on right now,
which is crazy obviously in every aspect of our life. Is it bad
ideas from elected officials who say, wow, we got to look at that.
We're doing great, so let's spend into oblivion. I mean, what
threatens us? In your mind? What threatens us are three major things.
Number one is the loss incompetence in government. I think that is a tragedy
and it's showing up in terms of voter registration roles because the number one political
party in this state is the unaffiliated party who did not want to wear the
uniform of either one of the other parties. The second biggest challenging challenge facing
us is the thief, the thief of inflation, especially for lower and fixed
income people in our state because they in some instances don't have anything that will
inflate. And the third biggest challenge facing this our state going forward is our
abilities to protect our economy, our number one ranking, our citizens from Washington,
DC's in ethness and their addiction to money and their inability to pass their
own budget, live within their own means. That is the single biggest threat
to the future of North Carolina. Well, that's not an individual's let's talk
about your office, is there? What is what do the FEDS do the
most hamstrings you in trying to do your job? Well, the Feds are
I can't think of any one particular thing that they do that hamstrings my job.
I can tell you that the federal the federal government could be a lot
more stronger in terms of the FTC, the Federal Trade Commission, regarding the
monopolistic practices of healthcare, the consolidation of healthcare, the antitrust laws that are
violated, and actually enforcing those laws. That's the single biggest thing that they
could do for the Treasure's office, and especially on behalf of the solvency and
sustainability of the State help plan. Let me let me jump back to one
thing you said, because I kind of skipped over. Now that I've given
it, I've had a moment to ponder. You talk about the tragedy of
people not want to wear the uniform of either political party. Is that such
a bad thing in the sense that, like I, you have to admit,
people aren't given a lot of reasons to have confidence in government most days.
So what do you do about that? You know, well, you're
exactly right, because we have a lot of pinos. A pino is a
politician in name only the night they're elected. They don't do one single thing
after that except want to be called something. You know, the root word
of government governor and government is to govern, and you know, for example,
the root word or representative is to represent. I mean, these are
verbs. And the reason that people are registering unaffiliated has recalls. So many
elected officials put one thing on their job application and either they don't show up
for work. They never do one thing after the ninth they're elected, and
most importantly, when they do do something, they do something different than what
they put on their job application. Yeah, I don't disagree, And I
brought this question up to both the Lieutenant Governor and to Mark Walker, and
he called in too, And I'm gonna ask you this question, and the
way I view it is, it doesn't matter who sits in the governor's office
right now, Phil berg Or and Tim Moore run this state. And I
guess it comes down to if you may have a disagreement, I don't just
mean you, but whoever, whoever that person is, may have a disagreement
with them. But at the end of the day, whether it's Josh Stein,
Roy Cooper, you the Lieutenant governor. Whomever is in that seat,
there's no reason for them to work with. Whoever is in the governor's office
is based on the current makeup of our legislature. Is that something you think
about is as you look to maybe take on more responsibility with higher office.
Well, what I think about is taking the skills that God gave me the
vision to see and as a Quaker, once I see something, I can't
unsee it. The humility to listen because our customers are our taxpayers and our
citizens. It's amazing the great ideas they will give you if if somebody will
actually listen to them, and the courage to act and not the rage,
which is also in the word courage, but actually have the courage to act.
There is so much more that needs to be fixed that it falls under
the responsibility of the governor. The root word of govern is to govern.
The governor is the CEO of the largest business in our state. The governor
buys more light bulbs and more paper towels, and more truck tires than anyone
else in North Carolina. And the amount of money that we manage at the
Treasurer's office is actually eight times larger than the state budget. If you look
into the constitution, it says that the primary responsibility of the government of North
Carolinas to originate the budget. And I'm a person who actually knows how to
do math and enjoys math, so I am particularly qualified to do that.
But the DOT still needs work. The DMV needs work, DHS needs work.
The criminal justice system needs work because of the inability for people to even
get a death certificate, or maybe people who continue to be incarcerated because we
can't get rape gets tested, in other types of things tested. Every one
of those responsibilities falls under the is the responsibility of the CEO of the state,
which is the governor of North Carolina. I've been in the General SIMI
for eight years. I know all most of those individuals. And my experience
when I was in the minority party of the majority party, I never let
anything get between me and my work. My experience is when you have an
idea of that saves the life, saves the mind, or saves money,
it's it's unbelievable what you can accomplish. I mean, you talking to your
point. You talk to somebody who's got a sixteen year old the're trying to
get a license I've heard of people go into the mountains right so they can
get an appointment to get their kid in there. I mean driving all that
way because it's the it's an aptive. Didn't the DT run out of money
a couple of years ago? I mean, what is It's just it's craziness,
man. So you're right they in that sense. But that's just you
got to throw more money at it? Or is it an efficiency issue?
What is it? Well, it goes back to what I said earlier.
The visionist, the humility to listen encouraged act. I'm the one that sounded
the alarm on the North Carolina Department Transportation three years ago. I'm the one
who said, when no one believed me, that the DOT was literally writing
checks it couldn't cash. Ultimately, the state Altar came in and determined that
they had overspent their budget by billions of dollars and had vicerrated something that your
listeners don't think about very often, which is the Highway Trust Fund. They
took a billion dollars out of a highway trust fund without the signature. So
I'm very pleased report as Secretary boy at his leaving office that he worked with
me partnered with the Treasure's office. He repaid the Highway Trust Fund and half
the scheduled time. And that is all the citizens want. They want public
officials to show up and to stand up and do their job. And if
they can't do that, then they just should shut up. But was anybody
hell responsible for that? Could Look, if I get access to deal Fallwell's
checking account, I spent all your money, but then I give it back
to you six months later, I'm still going to jail. Do you know
what I'm saying. So that's white people that have confidence in government. You're
right, they spent the Highway Trust Fund. In my understanding, they weren't
allowed to. They did it, and there was no penalty. Well,
let me just be clear. I called on the governor to fire the Secretary
Transportation, one of the two much coveted position appointees of a governor. He
ultimately did. I called on the governor to fire the chief financial Officer when
we determine that their definition of a payable is when we can pay you,
he did. I called on the governor to fire the chief operating officer thet
Nork Department Transportation. That person is no longer there. So not the kind
of consequences that your listeners would expect. But the fact is is that we
have played a very positive role in working with the new Secretary Transportation boy yet
in getting the Nork Department of Transportation out of the ditch. And all it
really requires is for people to be spoken to luck adults. What they here
makes common sense and explain conservatism without offending people. Yeah, I got I
got a role because I got about twenty seconds. So thank you for the
time this morning. State Treasurer Dale folwell joining us. Good luck to you,
sir. Okay, well, thank you and your listeners. I'd love
to be back on your show again soon. Okay, all right, well,
I do appreciate it, and we'll let you know on the cat litter
thing too. Very I didn't even ask if you had cats, but if
you know the cat litter thing, I'll tell you coming up. Kc O
Day Radio program, Hang on, keeping you connected. This is ninety four
five w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the
Triangle. A right, good morning, eight thirty six here on the case
O Day Radio program. Speaking of budgets, we just talked to the State
treasure But let me flip over to the money being gold out by the Biden
administration, who is now the Biden administration has approved grant funding for five point
seven million dollars to George Washington University. All right, not the biggest expenditure,
but wait till you hear what it's for. The new program will provide
psychological counseling and care for journalists who are the target of harassment campaigns. Because
you know all the journalists are, they're targets of harassment campaigns. When people
send them stuff like you're lying, this is not true, you're wrong,
they get community noted. Have you seen people? Have you seen these people
flip out when they get community noted, and then they get community noted for
flipping out in the next community note of their follow up tweet. It's magic.
But yes, Now, if you're a journalist out there lying your butt
off or writing these hit pieces, but they only ever seem to go in
one direction, and anytime there's a mistake, it only seems to go in
one direction. Right, Think of all the Trump garbage that was penned.
Pulitzers were awarded and then they had to literally pull the story off of the
off the website because it was so thoroughly debunked. These are the folks that
need trauma informed support, which is what they call it. Wait, I
guess we would qualify too. Just thinking about this ross, we could probably
dip into this sunny pot. Do you ever feel targeted or harassed or the
subject of misinformation? Like every single morning. Let's say hypothetically someone was to
construct a giant inflatable of you you, and then invite others to come by
with bats and spray pain and sharp objects and abuse it. That would wear
on a person's psyche. I don't invite people to to, you know,
do that to your inflatable, right, That's that's their instinct. That's what
they do. They see it and they're like, I need to stab you.
Facilitated though, I hung it up to you know, I'm like,
hey, check out the show is the host see And they're like, I'm
gonna stab it. You hung it upside down on a crucial that No,
it's not true. Those are just support boards. There's support beams the credit
cross like that for extra sturdiness. Huh, well, yeah, you gotta
be sturdy when you know people are whacking it with a bat like a pinata
at a kid's birthday party. I need support, man. The program called
Expert Voices Together. Their ego knows no bounds. First of all, I
was going to say that with the first time you hit the inflatable, you're
like, that was fun, but you don't expect the pez candy to fly
out the mouth. That's not true. I again, see what you're doing
is encouraging it. Because you're bribing with candy, just a rainbow of candy.
It's now gonna lead to more pummelings, which means I need more psychea.
I need more of this five point seven million dollars a dude. The
program called Expert Voices Together is described in the Government Grant Database, is a
socio technical system that provides real time support to experts experiencing online harassment. The
project's goal is to provide journalists and eventually other experts, with means of monitoring
and reporting alleged abuse. They're gonna help them. They're gonna do the monitoring
too. Oh yeah, those numbers won't be fudged. Good wrong with people
personalized assistance with digital safety. Next, somebody going on if you put yourself
in the we're doing this show right now. If somebody wants to go on
and say, you know, Ross posts the stories and on one of the
links go this story sucks and I hate that you did at one, that
wouldn't be the first time. Two, I am not unjustly the victim of
targeted online harassment, Okay. Or if I say something and you're like,
I think that's stupid, and you call the show and I'm like, I
think what you said, You're like, I think what you just said,
Casey is wrong. Here's why I am not the victim of targeted harassment.
If people are sending you stuff threatening to rape you, as has been the
case, then yes, somebody is harassing you. And within the bounds of
the law, right you can't threatened some but you can't threaten physical violence,
especially if you have the means to commit it, Like I live in your
town and I'm going to do this, right, you go to the police.
It's unfortunately a side effect of having a higher profile personality comes with the
territory you want to get in this business. Fund you don't, you don't
want to, then go work at go work at sheets. Okay. No
offense to anyone who works at sheets. I'm just pointing out that other than
you know, your name tag on there and with a few regulars, you're
not putting yourself out there with all of the things that come with it.
You're just a person. You're just out there busting your butt doing a job.
Go be one of the three thousand construction workers that I saw working just
driving around Wake Forest the other day. That's gonna be bigger than Raleigh.
Man. I don't know, that's crazy up there. I had not been.
I had not done driven around the Traditions area and up on Calvin Jones
for a long time. I had to be up there, I was telling
Ross. I thought I was going to have to build a lean to and
live there because I didn't know how to get out. And obviously you can't
trust the Google maps as we saw. So yeah, man, Or just
sit at home and wait for your condoms to arrive. A woman says that
a box containing one thousand and twenty condoms that she never ordered arrived at her
home and she was charged five hundred dollars for them. I don't know why
you pay. I guess maybe they got a hold of it. Whatever.
Joel Angel heart her. She's got angel in her name. Do you think
this woman needs a thousand and twenty condoms? Said she received an email from
Amazon about a delivery, assumed it was fake because they didn't order She and
her husband didn't. Well, wait a sec hold on now, hold on,
now, what do you think ross? She said she and her husband
didn't order it. Maybe she didn't order it. Do you think that's a
possibility. I don't know. I mean he's currently in the hospital. Hold
on, yeah, from what exhaustion? Right? Exposure? Going on?
All right? Check it out here? She is box that we received.
Joel Anglehart occasionally orders from Amazon, but says she definitely did not Anglehart boxes
of Trojan condoms. The resident of Chaplaw, Ontario, says she did get
an email saying they were on the way. We armactically assume that the email
was a scam because it's it's not anything remotely near what we would purchase or
what we would need. When the package arrived, Anglehart's husband was in the
hospital recovering from an illness, and she says they have no idea why the
box containing over one thousand of them showed up. We really can't understand what
exactly took place and why we received the package at our house. We clearly
did not order this package. It's a lot of money. So what if
the illness I know nothing, you know, I know no facts here.
But what if the illness he was recovering from was of the the burning varietal
and he went never again and then found a deal on Amazon? Don't know
now what they know? You're thinking, what is it? Actually? Believe
it or not? There is a scam where to build up their credibility.
People will scam purchase stuff, never want to receive it, They want to
send it out to other addresses. So they buy these items so that they
make delivery. But they controlled the rating of it so that they can build
up the believability of their profiles so that they can more thoroughly gam other people.
Does that make sense? Additionally, Amazon wouldn't refunder, but eventually they
did because obviously the news was going to cover it. But yeah, no,
they think it was They think it was about building a profile of a
seller, which I don't understand it. But oh, stot, how guys
are emailing me, Oh what happened on my weekly supply? Buh are you
making balloon animals? I mean, what do you because you share ain't using
them? Not if you listen to this show eight forty six case O Day
radio program racet aging from the Weather Channel. He's here, all right,
man, we gotta we need some nice weather. The weekend draws nearer.
Make it happen. Let's go well. I wish I had good news for
the weekend. Especially I'm gonna draw the line from about Raleigh to Fayetteville down
toward Columbia and South Carolina and east of that that's where the worst of the
weather is going to be. With our Harry, the Hurricane Center has painted
with a forty percent chance of develop into what looks to be a non tropical
system. Got to be a pretty strong one though, in terms of non
tropical systems, I mean, not a hurricane or anything like that. But
the rain chances will go up. So clouds right now probably going to stay
cloudy today. There may be some sun, especially further into the mountains where
it's actually pretty nice right now, upper seventies, low eighties tonight in the
sixties. Now, our rain chances will start developing tomorrow from east southeast to
the west and northwest, so from the coast, and then pushing inland as
we go through the afternoon in the evening, so maybe into Raleigh in Fayetteville
as we go through tomorrow afternoon tomorrow evening, but a better chance of that
rain tomorrow night to the west, less rain, so try it into the
mountains less to maybe no rain. There will be a cutoff to where some
of us listening right now get rain and some of us don't, and a
range of taper off Saturday sometime in the afternoon from the triangle east Sepntaries will
be in the sixties and a stiff breeze around, but really the strongest wind
and the heaviest rain out near the coast case and sunshine for everybody on Sunday.
So you know, it's one of those ones where you know, we
cut the line and there's a sharp cut off to where you get rain and
where you don't. When the strongest wins and the heaviest rain will be to
our east. But still it looks like some of us are going to be
pretty soggy, especially later Friday night and into Saturday. Better chance, as
we'd said from about Raleigh, Fayetteville, Florence, Columbia, and especially out
toward the east of that. Okay, sounds like the tryad folks. Maybe
a pharaoh. Okay, they may do Okay, I you know, it
could get just west of Raleigh and end up most of them to try it,
you get nothing, and it could be and tomorrow morning we have a
lot more on it because it probably won't be raining yet in most places tomorrow
morning. Okay, cool, cool, Thank you sir, and we'll come
back chat with Jemp. Ellen's your next hang on show. After the show
is on the iHeart Radio app. Search for the podcast on the iHeart Radio
app. It's a fifty three year Bloomberg Update Now, Jeff Fellinger, what's
happening well, morning, Casey. Looks like comments from Federal Reserve officials will
continue to way on Wall Street, at least in the yearly going today.
Central bankers said yesterday they are leaning toward one more interest rate height before the
end of the year. Now, futures down two hundred fourteen points at the
moment. The weekly snapshot of the job market points to continued strength and resilience.
The Labor Department reports the number of workers signing up for unemployment benefits fell
by twenty thousand to two hundred one thousand last week. A big tech sector
deal was announced this morning. Cisco Systems as buying the application software companies Splunk.
The deal is valued at twenty eight billion dollars. The merger partners say
the combination will help to make companies more resilient to cyber security threats. Sources
report progress being made in efforts to whend the Hollywood writers strike. The studios
have reportedly presented an offer to the Writers Guild of America. The union's response
is expected today. Stillantis has made a new offer to the United Auto Workers
Union UAW President Sean Faine has not responded yet, but it includes a pay
increase similar to an offer that's already been rejected, and one union negotiator says
it lacks the job security guarantees the union wants. General Motors and the UAW
still far apart on key issues, sources tell Bloomberg. The GMCEO Mary Barrett
told the company salaried staff yesterday that the union's latest counter offer is still too
expensive, and casey a lot of pets not only lonely because their owners are
spending more time working from their offices, they're also going without the treats they
became accustomed to general mills. Says returned to office mandates of hurt demand for
its cat and dog treats. Sales posted double digit declines in the latest quarter.
Casey, did you see there's got a cat litter shortage too, So
that's right, Well that's because of the cyber attack at Clorox. Yeah,
oh really, okay, yeah, all right, so I guess everyone's gonna
get rid of their cats. So sorry, all right, good day to
have a good one too, or just drop them off of Ross's house.
It'll take all your transient cats because he's got the good stuff cat litter.
Was all right, Explain to me what is going on with these homeless encampments,
right, remember the one up in Seattle we talked about where they set
it up, and they got like, they got a pool, They got
a what a cave system? They have an ewok village, but they got
a pool. They got a pool. And I don't mean a little one.
They have one with a circulator and a pump. And and as you'd
imagine, neighbors aren't happy. In Denver, though they went in a slightly
different direction. Please have rated a homeless camp in Denver. Listen to what
they had. We'll go and on. First of all, I'm looking at
this. They have a giant thing of astro turf. It's the size of
a half of a How do you not know where that came from? You've
got a half a football field of astro turf. You've put your your homeless
encampment on. Nobody reported that half their football field was missing. I find
that hard to believe. But that's not even the craziness. No, the
craziness is the reason officials went in there. Ironically, you start screwing with
their money, then they get upset. They went in there because the homeless
folks had constructed a bar. They called us speak easy. You're listening to
homeless people screaming. They're not speaking easy. They put a bar, a
casino, and a brothel. They had a hobo brothel with separate hobo brothel
tents. I guess apparently you go to the bar, the casino bar,
and then you know your rent homeless which, by the way, by the
way, what must that be? What must the lineup at that place look
like? Moonlight Bunny Ranch? At eight? What do you pay him in?
And what are we talking? Went from a dollar I've just I'm not
going because the police busted it. I would not, but I would like.
I'd like to see the offerings I have. I'm very curious. I
probably wouldn't like in person, but I want to see a picture. At
least you pay him in sue. I mean, what all right? What
if I want to do that? Oh that's three soups sir. And look
at that ross point this out there in the break even they get a casino.
Oh man, they are going big dude. So yeah, but yeah,
you strove with their money, their tax money on the liquor sales.
They don't play
