Cacoday radio program Glad to Have You along. I was, I was just
telling Ross off the air. Well, obviously, I feel like if I
had to average it out, I would say about once a week there is
a story where I go to do we need to do people not know that
this is not a thing you should do. And I'll give you an example
yesterday and you can still see the video if you want. I didn't think
people needed reminded of this, but you had a woman at her son's funeral
in a club and dress tworking on his grave. Again, people grieve differently.
But then they filmed it, they put it on the internets, and
and I didn't think at any point I had to remind folks that's probably not
a good look. But it used to be about once a week we'd have
a story like that. What are some other examples? There was one one
actually earlier this week. I'm like, I need to do we need to
remind people of this? But now I feel like it's every other day or
something. And you know, in some instances, I'm fine with that because
it just means, you know, probably more Florida Man stories, stupid stuff,
but some of it is truly ghastly, and to prove my point,
let me. I was just I literally was just reading this before the show,
and I'm gonna I'm gonna turn this into a quiz. So and it's
not just horrific human behavior, but also it's a learning opportunity. And I
don't know, maybe maybe we can curb some of these things because I'm torn.
Those are always those stories always do well, They always do well,
all right, Rosier by Guinea Pig. Two question quiz you ready? Very
easy? I know it's early, but it's Friday. Whatever, let's do
this question, numeral. You know what is the first rule of fight club?
I don't even know what you're talking about? Okay, very good,
very good. That's sure. That's called passing kids. Almost he's halfway there.
What is I can't believe I'm having to formulate this sentence? What is
the first rule? I want to make sure I have the the deats absolutely
accurate. What is the first rule of special education? Classroom? Fight club?
What is that? Do you know what that person? I don't know
what that is, but it sounds horrific and it should not exist. Yeah,
it's actually and I know a lot of people aren't up on this.
So it is if this teacher, after going through our constitutionally protected criminal justice,
if this is guilty, you want to keep this so secret that you
bury that person under the prison. So in case you didn't know Indianapolis,
by the way, do you want to guess the grade or grade range,
I'd probably say like kindergarten or pre k or something elementary. Yeah, they
went elementary, so not quite high school, but elementary. An Indianapolis elementary
school teacher orchestrated a fight club style punishment between classmates, including a seven year
old That was his mom who brought this to the attention of the school,
although not entirely because not only is his teacher, Julius Johnakin, alleged to
have essentially set this up, but also filmed it, filmed it and put
it up there so people could see it. The child's mother folt of lawsuit
with Marion County against the teacher from George Washington Carver School, alleging the teacher
condoned other students to duke it out in the classroom on multiple occasions to solve
differences. And let me approach this from somebody obviously who is wholly on the
outside looking at I don't have kids, none of that. But but I
there was a girl I dated who was a special ed teacher and she come
home with wounds man because of some of the issues that she was dealing with
with some of her students. She loved what she did and still she still
teaches special ed up in Minnesota, but she so like a big thing with
her students was dealing with some of the physical stuff that manifests with some of
the students in that class. So the idea, when you're already dealing with
that, that you would then be like, you know what, let's do
a fight club. I'm a film this world star. Baby, I'm gonna
I want to go very deep under the prison if we could. Yeah,
it looks like uh, mom and father, life looks like your kid won.
So you know, there is that small thing. Uh. The mother
inquired because she thought she thought her son came home and was like, hey,
you know what we did today? This because he had some marks on
him. No, I mean that's understandable. I mean, because you're having
a special special needs child, sometimes they will come home like that where it's
like because sometimes it's another student will do it. Like you said, they
have they have emotional outbursts, and Lincoln sonded himself, he like, you
know, it's the uh, his big trigger in the classroom. It is,
you know, the phone in the class the phone in all the sound
that the phone makes. It's not necessarily the tone that it makes, but
it's the unpredictability of what it's going to be. So it'll randomly be like
he calls it the heat heat sound, it'll go like he heat, and
it'll cause him to have like a major meltdown, like an emotional meltout.
And they've tried to stop before, and he's he grabbed a ta's wrist and
broke her Apple eye watch wristband, which we paid back. But there's been
times when he's come back and the teacher will be like, hey, he
has this on his back or he has this on his arm, and it's
because another student had an outburst, and we completely understand it. And for
them to have this fight club for special needs children like this in like elementary
school, that's right at the age where like if they did come home,
there might be some plausible deniability there where you'd be like, oh, well,
like if they did say, hey, the teacher had to fight ourselves.
You might be like, Okay, well he's making this up. It's
his imagination. It's not really happening, because that is absolutely insane. Mom
didn't believe it. Kid was coming home and like, you didn't you guys
didn't have a fight club, right, come on, and actually you know,
and it was like, I don't believe it, but you know,
eventually went and tried to get to school administry to you know, answer her
questions, and they just ignored her. And at first she at first she's
like, no, that's insane, that didn't happen. And then I guess
her kid backtrack, probably thinking he was going to get in trouble. And
it took about two months and then a video emerged and mom lost her crap,
and the school still ignored her for two more months, even though she
pulled her kid out. In the video, which is awful, a suspected
classmate is seen throwing repeated punches at her son while shouting don't mess with me.
In the background, the teacher yells and I quote, that's right.
You get him to the kid beating up this woman's son. Toward the end
of the clip, the attacker boy tells the teacher quote, and I'm gonna
get him again. Johnakin, it's the teacher still filming, replies, I
know you want to get him. When he does those things, you get
him, so you know at least twenty feet under the prison. And by
the way, it's it's like in kill Bill. And I'm assuming the teacher
hasn't trained with pie May, so we should be good to go if convicted.
This is alleged, even though there's a video, which I'm not going
to play you. It's it's just awful. You get that transcript, I'm
not Jonakin. The teacher told Indiana Department of Child Services that the two students
were sometimes friends but sometimes had negative engagements. Okay, well that's kids,
specially at kids or not specially at kids. Right, but there's video of
you hype manning the kid beating up the other kid. When I asked about
the video, he claimed it was a recording to have proof of what was
happening, and finally admitted that he had quote run out of patience to interfere
in the melee. How does do how does this guy end up in a
classroom? Yeah, not just a classroom, but a special needs classroom.
It's just it's mine. The like Lincoln's teacher, I'm saying, like it's
a special sort of person, that's the deal, Like incredible people, incredible
patients, right, so you don't belong there, and that the fact that
they put him there is just nuts, dude. And you know, you
know what, and I'll be I'll be directly honest. Do you know what
likely led to me in that special ed teacher not work out is she was
way too nice a person for me, Like like I don't have that level
of patience or any of the rest, and she did. And uh that
was crazy, absolutely like coming home and like her arm would be all ripped
up. A kid hit her with a plastic knife one time, and she's
just like, yeah, you know, we're working on some stuff, blah
blah blah. I'm just like, oh my gosh, I yell at people
on the radio and and you're out there doing that. I didn't used to
be patient. I will say that Lincoln has made me a lot more patient
than I used to be, like looking back now, because yeah, there's
certain things that you just it just it is what it is. Man.
I know a lot of people hate that saying like I hate that but you
just learn to roll with it. Man, and you got you gotta be
patient because if you're not patient and you're not understandable, you're gonna lose your
mind. Well, you don't have a choice, right, No, you
know you have to have to. You either go and say and you become
gandhi. It's one of the two, all right. Well, like road
rage doesn't have I don't get I'm patient in traffic. I'll take my time
or lines or stuff. It doesn't So in that way, it's been a
blessing because learning how to have patience is a great thing to have. Yeah,
I kind of like yelling at idiots on the road. I don't know,
but I'm but not like crazy, chase him down and let's do this
thing. I don't know. I feel it's like cathartic. But I don't
yell. I just comment in an even voice but horrible words. And that's
still it's a hobby. But I mean, I might look at the guy
and be like, look at this guy, but that's the extent of it.
Yeah, look at this idiot, But I'm not like, no,
I want to roll you up the road. You you know what's even worse,
is it wasn't just this teacher. They came to find out as they
dug into this, that a substitute teacher who specialized in, you know,
being the sub for special at knew all about it. Yeah yeah, yeah.
In fact, that teacher is quoted here in an exchange with the the
So this is the substitute teacher's communicating with the main teacher who was filming this.
When asked, are you uncomfortable with this, replied quote, special needs
students are demonic possessed. I don't care. Wow. The substitutent also allegedly
texted quote, they're bad kids. This is what you do. What an
awful person? I mean, just the two of these in like, I'm
not for some of the stuff they do in North Korea, but right,
but you might consider the mortar field here. No, that's too nic because
that would be instant, you know what I'm saying. It's just like when
hey, I mean and I'm missed, right, No, no, no,
no, something else and again go through the process. Here, let's
see here, uh, in this thing, she's probably she should probably own
the school district after this, According to the mother, during the three months
when she initially contacted because Remember she didn't contact right away, She just yeah,
she thought her kid was at the very least embellishing right and was reassured.
But then after two months of being ignored, the mom started digging into
this stuff. And let's see, was repeatedly informed by the district, including
the principle and the superintendent, that quote it was that was not true.
It was her child who was disruptive, lying, and they suggested that he
be diagnosed with perhaps disordered personality afflictions or perhaps a more expansive diagnose of ADHD.
You know, a similar thing happened to Lincoln when he was in pre
K. A bunch of the student and I'm not going to mention the teacher
no longer works in the district and doesn't work in general as far as I
know, but there was a bunch of times that he would come home and
we were like those are and we were just assuming it was another student because
of the difficulties we've already mentioned, and I we were asking about it,
weren't getting any answers, weren't getting any answers, and we weren't and I
eventually had to get Dan Forrests help with this issue. And it turns out
the teacher, it was this pre k teacher was abusing the children, and
my god, but it took us forever to get any answers. Like it's
like I was sending emails and sending emails though the parents. I remember,
I don't remember. I don't I remember. I didn't ask you all of
the details, but you had said something was going on. And when Dan
was doing one of his things, I know you talked to him, but
I didn't. I didn't pry on that. But that's horrible, And you
know what, let's let's get everybody together for my first rule of fight Club.
There you go Friday morning, and that's what I was sitting there reading
five minutes before the show. All right, let me do this because there
is no way I'm going to pair another story with this. But we'll take
a break, i'll come back. I'll give you a rundown of some of
the stuff we're going to get into, including our conversation with Pete Calender chat
with him. Since it's Friday, that'll be our number three eight oh five.
But you listen, because you're a good citizen to all three hours of
the show, So just you know, stay tuned. For a very long
time, and we'll get to that and all sorts of insanity, but that
might be the insanity takes the cake. All right, we'll be back.
Hang on, all right, welcome back. It is six thirty five.
I'm gonna dig We'll dig deeper into this, or I guess we'll redig into
this, because I am going to give you the details now. But this
story about Mark Robinson's wife is, and especially the outlet that wrote this story,
this is fascinating to me. It's horrible if true, but it's also
fascinating. And I was surprised wr L wrote this story, So kudos on
that one, because unless there's something I'm missing here, this is I think
she's she might be right. I don't know. I mean, I'm not
there for all of this, but I think she might be right because initially
I saw this and I was like, you know, people exaggerate in the
world of politics, and I don't know Mark's wife. I'm trying to think
if I've ever met her. I think I did. Where did I meet
her somewhere for just a for just a few minutes, and I've interacted with
throughout social media. Seems like a very nice woman and I I, I,
you know, I don't feel that this is exaggerated. And what was
interesting to me, and this is kind of crazy, is the fact that
Ral seems to acknowledge that there might be something here makes me think that there's
a lot of something there and they just they just you know, wrote it
in the way that they did. Like, is that a weird barometer to
use over the veracity of a story When you see an outlet who you feel
might be unsympathetic to an individual who writes the story that I feel was kind
of fair. That's where we are in the world of journalism, all right,
So you don't know what's up. And then when I said, we'll
read to this because we're gonna be talking to Pete about this for sure,
coming up at eight oh five, but I want to get into this now,
remind her phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven fours.
So first line of the story, here's the claim. The second Lady
of North Carolina says a state agency targeted her nonprofit because of who her husband
is. All right, look, that's that's a big claim. That's a
big claim because you're claiming the thing I thought that used to make everybody skin
crawl because it's it's it's a tactic from not America, right, this is
you know, these are the these I understand that it happens one hundred percent
obviously, but like it goes so against the ideals of how this is supposed
to work, even knowing that the reality on the ground is this stuff happens,
and it happens a lot more than you think in a variety of different
ways. And it doesn't just happen because you're the wife of Mark Robinson.
It can happen because you're a bloviating idiot on the radio. It could happen
because your neighbor doesn't like how you park your card. You know what I'm
saying. And they happen to work for they have a semblance of power that
they can use against you. But this is so on the nose. So
Mark's wife's name is Yolanda by the way, all right, so anyway,
Yolanda Hill said earlier this month that she and tended to shut down Balanced Nutrition.
Okay, so for those of you who don't know, his wife runs
a nonprofit and and by the way, this isn't some Clinton Foundation disaster set
up following Mark's election. She's she was doing this well before any of any
of us knew Mark Robinson save probably a few people in Greensboro who knew Mark
Robinson. But you know what I mean? The nonprofit, I what is
it? Is it? An? It's uh sorry sorry, I started scrolling
down and I wasn't ready. All right, Balance Nutrition where she has run
this charity for nearly a decade. Okay, so this is back when Mark's
still I don't know, working at the furniture factory, teased off because the
city of Greensboro decides, oh, maybe we shouldn't have a gun show at
the colliseum. Oh and he's like, no, no, not having that.
And you know that was the that was the the the pathway to office.
But all of this precedes him. Balance Nutrition, by the way,
is works with basically if you're a person who qualifies for federal food subsidies,
that those are the folks that they work with. Okay, and I don't
I don't know the totality of what they do, but that's the that's the
the realm in which they operate. In fact, let me read the descript
the exact description. Balance Nutrition helps adult or childcare centers in the triad that
qualify for federal food subsidies. Okay, so in some way, shape or
form, that's what they do. But it doesn't matter what they do.
They've been doing something that it wasn't a problem for a decade and now this
So let's get to where this gets weird really quick, because you're probably asking
yourself, well, how do you prove that? How do you prove that?
Lois Learner. Let me use an example that woman in Texas with her
organization, which is so weird by the way, because I actually met that
woman just really odd, visiting my buddy in Houston and we went to something
where that woman was and I had met her and it was just a passing
thing because I don't live in Texas. I'm like, okay this event,
and it was like her and Mattress Mac if you don't know who that is,
that's the guy who owns the furniture stories, who does the big bets
every year. And I remember there was conversation about how all of their nonprofit
stuff was getting stymied, and you know, the suspicion was that somebody at
the IRS was doing that. And then you know, crazily like months later,
boom, we got the lowest leerner story and no accountability. But this
is a little different. Hill said, I didn't know her, don't know
her personally. That person as she is referring to works for the d DHHS
Department of Health and Human Services, And according to Hill, the employee,
in February of twenty twenty three, so over a year ago, started sending
her colleagues Hill's Mark's wife's social media photos that showed her standing next to Mark
because that's her husband. Crazy stuff, right, and started setting that around.
And let's see, she used her state cell phone to send that picture
to her colleagues on their cell phones, writing quote, look who this is?
Look who her husband is? Her husband is Mark Robinson. The employee
then told colleagues that Hill quote misled her about her husband's identity. Day.
I don't know the conversation, but what is your your damn business who her
husband's identity is. I mean, now, obviously you care because he's a
lieutenant governor, and obviously it sounds like you may have a problem with him.
But Mark has since assuming office, according to his office, has not
in any way, shape or form, helped in any way with the business.
I guess he probably did I don't know to what extent before he was
lieutenant governor, but recognizing that since her nonprofit in part deals with government funding,
that it would be improper for him to do that. Plus he's lieutenant
governor, he's got stuff to do, okay, So if she doesn't want
to get into who her husband is, because for all practical purposes, he
doesn't have anything to do with it, that's it's a little weird, right,
Well, it's gonna get more weird. The person who reportedly circulated those
images is DHHS child Nutrition assistant. I don't know exactly what they do,
but sounds like that's probably someone you would interact with. Woman by the name
of Joyce Bonner. Bonner was later in charge of reviewing balanced nutrition and the
case was assigned to a different specialist in March, obviously after some of this
happened. And for those of you going, well, how does she know
this? Well, remember how I said it doesn't matter who her husband is.
If people are doing stuff on state phones, lieutenant governor gets wind of
it, he probably has a pretty easy time tracking it down. And if
the irony is if he in fact helped and I don't know that he did
some Moonbat's probably gonna be like, oh, it was improper. It was
improper, So I don't know the backstory. I mean, I'm gonna ask
you about this next time we talked, but let's see here. So as
a result, then they started they opened reviews on Mark's wife's nonprofit. So
now they're putting under that same government microscope like they're doing to you know,
the people want to do business with Trump for the bond or anyone really who
is ever photographed near a Republican seemingly in March. In March, a letter
from d HHS asked Hill for a broad array of financial documents, including bank
statements, tax records, internal records of transactions. There's also a report of
what I kind of skipped over when she said this woman was see misleading her
about her husband's identity. The way the conversation sounds, and I guess maybe
other colleagues may have spoken to Yolanda or to Mark, she's really cheese because
it's it's soft sold in this story. It's very clear that this person had
a problem with Mark Robinson, which is fine. You don't have to like
whoever the elected officials are, but this is this is Russia's stuff, right,
getting the goon squad to go, and oh, well, you know,
we can't do anything to him, But how about that meddling wife of
his. I mean, that's not stuff we expect here. That's that's China
stuff. That's you know, take him to the farm up state and you
know, dig through his life and ruin it kind of stuff. Let's see
Robinson they quote in the story here. Robinson, who hadn't worked for the
nonprofit since entering office, has been criticized by conservatives as hypocritical. This is
this is what a line to put into this story, a story that is
predicated on what may or may not be a giant abuse of power by a
government employee. And now you want to dig into beef with Robinson in the
middle of it. It sounds like you're justifying it. Just my two cents,
Robinson. But here's what it's about. Robinson, who has been criticized
because it appears hypocritical for condemning government spending while his wife and other family members
have derived income from an organization who does receive funding from the federal government.
I always love this too. I love this argument where they're like, well,
you know, if you were going to vote against the spending and you
didn't win the vote, so but you know, don't you shouldn't avail yourself
of it. And that's not the correct answer. Now, that is dealing
with the situation as it exists. That's rolling with it, Like I don't
like all aspects of it, and I think that I think that there's a
lot of things who could identify that. You know, frankly I wouldn't fund.
But if they exist, and they exist to the extent that they do,
you know, you're saying, you're sitting there and it's like it's it's
like it's like utilizing public services when you're one of these a cab idiots,
Right, I understand why you're calling Yeah you can, You're you're gonnappear a
little hypocritical, but I think you're wrong on the issue, So I understand
why you use it. I just chuckle that you're spitting on a cop one
minute and then calling him over not being able to go change your tamp on
the next, looking at you, Vanderbilt. But yeah, let's you know,
stick that right in there. Then the end of that story. That's
wonderful. Uh. A spokesman for Robinson's campaign said the Lieutenant Governor's office didn't
immediately respond to a request for comment. Uh. Tyler Brooks, he's a
he's a lawyer, uh in Greensboro. He he is Yolanda's lawyer. Uh.
He didn't respond to a request for comment either. That's good. Nobody
should call Rio. I've told many people who'd he mark this? So,
but yeah, I don't out check. We'll tweet the link out, check
it out. And again, what's what's strange here is like I was surprised
they did this story, but it also sounds like she may have some receipts
and we need answers and the DH Chess director at the very least should address
this to Mark and probably publicly now that this thing's out there. Uh here
we and then it's just what's crazy is then they use it's like that's the
first half of the article, what that is? And then the second half
is just digging into digging into her nonprofit, I mean literally doing the thing
that they're accusing this this government employee of doing, which we used to all
find repugnant. But now when we live in an area, in an era
where we have you know, the the all of the Trump insanity right where
the majority, the vast majority of Americans think it's political, like seventy some
percent, and that includes a bunch of Democrats. The difference is they may
think it's political, but like it that we're having this conversation right here.
Uh all right, so here and then they go the tax filing show the
organization paid out more than seven hundred thousand in salaries and wages the most recent
publicly available data. Let's see here Hill. All right, so Hill appears,
well, yes, she runs a nonprofit. She probably is the largest
payroll. All right, So according to documents, Hill appears to have earned
three hundred and nineteen thousand dollars over three and a half years. Non sorry
is it three and a half on this it might just be three. Yeah,
it's three. So she as the head of this organization. And remember
that's going to be salary plus the cost of benefits. Okay, so whatever
this, I have to remind people of this. It's not just the salary
when you're looking at this, it is the totality of the cost to the
individual employee. So I know what I make, you know what you make
but if you have you know, employee insurance and really just compliance costs in
general, that number is substantially higher. So should the totality of somebody who's
the head of a nonprofit be just over one hundred thousand a year? Well
maybe, depending on the size of what they're doing, depending on how much
of that is not straight salary but other stuff. I don't know that sounds
reasonable to me, because you know, what do you what are you talking?
Maybe so maybe here pays what seventy seventy five, which is look,
it's a good wage, but I don't know, and they start slicing and
dicing through it. It's ugly stuff, man, but check it out.
We'll be right back hang on. So, as I'm sitting there and I'm
just kind of putting together some of the rollover stuff, you know, like
things who didn't get to the last couple of days and how it ties into,
which is a normal process every day, but it's just been like there's
just so much stupidity in the news this week, Like every time I say
I'm gonna roll something, we have a John Cougar Mellencamp cut that's just been
chilling on the button bar for what three days. Oh, it is wild
times out there. And this story about Mark Robinson's wife who just real quick
and then into the calls. The short version is his wife, Yolanda,
for more than a decade has run a nonprofit in the Triad. And you
know, before anyone, you know, knew Mark on the political scene and
everything, you know, everything was fine. And then now we have her
claiming that she was targeted by d HHS employee in state North Carolina state office
employee. And she also apparently has receipts so showing that the the employee in
question posted fun literally took photos off of her social media and sent them around
to her colleagues saying can you believe this woman? She tried to she tried
to not be forthright with me about who her husband was. And it sounds
like the story sounds like the employee doesn't light Mark, which again she's that's
you're well within your right, but when you work for the government, you
don't pull this crap. This is this is jackboot stuff, man, This
is this is this is what putin yearns to get back to under a more
formal setting. Now, don't don't get me wrong, he does this anyway.
But you know, back in the back in the day when the KGB
was the KGB for the that is I guess if you don't know, that
is Putin's dream man, because his Putin's best days were when he was a
KGB dude, when it was still the KGB and before the fall of the
Russian USSR. Right, because he revels in this stuff, which is why
obviously it comes so naturally to him when his political enemies keep falling out of
windows. But that's over there, and already people are sensitive with what's going
on with the Trump stuff. But it's like, it's like with your kid.
Now, here's what I mean by that. Right, if if your
kid, and remember I don't have kids, I'm the best parent advice,
all right, But if your kid continually sees something, even if they know
it's wrong, but they see you doing it, what's the stopping from thinking
they can do it? And I understand, you know, my mom's thing
was, well, you're a kid, shut up, and I'm an adult.
Fine, but when when you work in the government, and by the
way, I'm not sticking this label, and everyone who works there, there's
there's there's very competent very helpful people that do work within the government. That
being said, when you see at a federal level all this stuff with Trump,
and it feels good if you don't like Trump, right, you can
just you can just tell and and and it would feel good to you if
Joe Biden was under twenty eight indictments or ninety five and dit or whatever the
hell it is, right, you feel good about that. But also I
would hope that you would, you know, also check the veracity of like
the charges and the claim and maybe be an independent enough thinker to go,
this is not right, this is this is not right. But a lot
of people feel good. And if that is your political position and you see
it going on literally mostly uncontested with with the former president who gave you your
TDS, why wouldn't you think you can do stuff at at the state level.
But again, these are allegations, and there is a perfectly acceptable there's
an acceptable way in which this could have played out. Right, Oh yeah,
but you won't guess who I talked to today, Right, she didn't
even say who her husband was. Isn't that crazy? Right? That's it,
that scenario, that's just that's just people still doing their job. Point
something out that is not what this sounds like at all. And why am
I convinced? Oh you know they didn't. Why didn't they ask Roy Cooper
for a comment or the the head of the DHHS. So that's weird.
Huh h strange? All right, to the phone from all what's going on?
You know what, KC. I'm gonna say this, and I have
to disagree with you on something. When you said that it would feel good
if it was Joe Biden. You know, I will feel good if the
Republicans would do anything and the remote that would look like this, because I
don't know how that would feel because we don't. We're always being told we
need to uphold the institutions, and it seems like the only thing. Let
me let me all right, let me let me remove that from Joe Biden.
I just if it was Hillary Clinton, Okay, okay, and you
know what, Okay, you know what, KSE Republicans don't even do it,
then it would feel good for Republicans. They have been coming after Mark
Robinson, doing this man dirty ever since he been in office. They're gonna
compare him to this man, literally to a clansman. Why because he's a
black conservative and it's okay. And you know what, case you can't always
blame white liberals. Black folks got to be held responsibles for standing beside and
not doing nothing about Mark Robinson being being treated this way and dirty black folk
we got to be called out because of what we're doing. But these people
came after his wife. They knew his wife had a private organization. And
you know what, thanks for confirming what the the judge in New York daughter
is basically doing. You said, oh, it's wrong. So if it's
wrong for Mark Robinson white, then and she has to stand and lose everything.
I think, guess what, maybe this judge up for New York Daughter
needs to he needs to step down or his daughter needs to resign. A
site is Mark has been done dirty ever since? All he did was said
I want to be because I didn't say anything. There's anything wrong with her
running an organization. No, no, no, I understood why when Mark
got elected they wanted to make sure that he didn't involve himselves for obvious reasons
like that's a conflict. Yes, I want disagree with you now I'm talking
about the part about No. I was disagreeing about the part about if it
had been Democrats, and I won't disagree on everything. That was a disagreement
on the part about if it been democrats because Republicans don't want to hold on
and I I do this, I do this, I do this not out
of that but out of friendship. But Hillary Clinton, Hillary Clinton got purp
walk today, How you would be on Twitter and Facebook the rest of the
day, we all would You would be insane. But I would also evaluate
what I want to tell you, Like this casey, if you had a
supermodel when you was in high school and you said, Jamal, if you
had a supermodel, A, guess what. I never had a supermodel.
I've never seen the Democrat models in high school. So this is lo so
know that pleasure is It's like Republicans, we don't know that pleasure of Democrats
suffering and crying about stuff like this for them to say, hey, we
don't need to do this and put laws in praise so they can't abuse Mark
Robinson and they can't abuse Republicans. It's just that Republicans, we just uphold
the constitution, upholder institutions to the Democrats get back in power and they can
finish destroying it. This is all they do, and and it's I'm a
friend of Mark Robinson. Mark Robinson is a great man. Your lot is
a great woman for them to for them. This is a government employee that
sat here and use this extreme political and what she fired, she put on
her jacket. She can never work again. Was she even was she even
some type of retribution? And know why because it's okay because it's Mark Robinson.
And it just gets This is why, Casey, I'm the biggest caller
for the tech for tack because they keep picking the Republicans not tacking, and
until the Republicans start packing back, it's gonna continue going one way. And
it just gets so frustrated because Mark is a great person. All thing he
does, he has Christian believed on Christians. He's a Christian Republican. He
believes in the Bible, he believes in doing things right. And they count
that against him. And the main black folk that is dancing and shouting in
church talking about they got the holdergos sit there and staying right then watch what's
going on against him and won't speak up and say nothing. And I don't
know. I see every time I see a video of him in a Black
Church. They're you know, they're they look like they're happy he's there.
So that's that's bishop upper room. I believe that's upper room when he because
as bishop BIG's bishop, he's with the W. But he's a great person.
I mean him the one church down on rot was the rock Quarry area
that in fact, I think word tabernat, that's the word taberanac or well,
he's a great person. I met him when we passed amend met one.
He is a great bishop. And when you meet his people, they're
great. But I'm talking about the majority of black churches in eastern North Carolina,
Dunbar, Rocky, Mount Greenville, everywhere. They're silent on it.
But to preach about transgenderism and preach about the stuff. But then you won't
stand up and suppose how about Black History Month? Nobody gives him the respect
as being the first black lieutenant governor of North Carolina. We don't see w
r L people do stuff like that. Permently everybody wanted him to speak for
Black History Month. To ignore him. This man goes through something and it
really that's why people say, Jamal walk you rump office again because I'm too
mean and I'm too either black or white. I don't play gray areas.
That's why can never win office. And not that I thought it would be
intimidating that right, right, but not just and then I have to go.
Not that I think you would be intimidated by it, but you know
that is also if if you're a black conservative and you watch what's going on
with Mark, you you know all these arguments that voter id has a chilling
effect on black voter turnout, and then you know then they as are they
allege and there's no numbers that support that. But in people's minds, if
they're sitting there going you know what, maybe I would run, but uh,
if they came after my wife that I'm I'm I'm not gonna put my
family in that position. And there's a lot of people it's meant to have
a chilling effect. Do you understand what I'm saying? It It is,
Yes, it's a feature, yes, yes, yes, That's why I've
always told people if I ever get elated to a public office, I'm the
firewall and Democrat Party and we have an all out rule. I'm gonna do
everything in my power to pay them back. Because still somebody does that to
them, They von't stop until they see there. They von't stop. Well,
I want to hear them. Yeah, yeah, jam I'm sorry,
I gotta go to break, but I I in the story. They say
that the while she was initially investigating that in March, so remember in February
was the email. In March, they assign somebody else to the case,
but maintain the case. So I don't know if she was disciplined. We
don't have comment, and frankly the comment would probably be we don't comment unemployment
matters, but I think the public has a right to know. Jamal,
thank you very much for the call this morning. Okay, thanks Casey.
All right, Oh and then I just put them on hold. Sorry,
uh, the wrong button there, Let's try that. Okay. Yeah,
you know, that's one thing I guess I forgot with my larger setup.
There is it? It's it intimidates people, right if you see that going
on and you're like, I don't want to, you know, run for
this office, because not because you necessarily have anything to hide, but because
you don't want to bring that on your family. Like people make those decisions
every day, whether they're going to run for office or not. I talked
to guy. I talked a guy out of running for office one time.
I won't tell you who it was. I think that And before you jump
on me, what I knew about this gentleman who I have known for years
is his privacy is paramount. And he came to me because people were trying
to get him to run for office. I didn't necessarily talk him out of
it, but I said, look, let me I said, let me
show you what in an hour I could dig up on you. And this
guy, this guy is not a bad dude at all. He's he is
a truly good guy. But he is super privacy oriented and I just knew
from his personality this is what it was. And him and I we had
dinner on the steakhouse this year and we talked. I said, I just
want you to understand this going in. He ultimately made the decision not to.
He's very protective of his family. So people, you know, people
think about this stuff, and so if it has that second, you know
that the chilling impact to do that, well all the better. If this
is what you feel like you can do to people, And it's crazy,
because ross can you look this up real quick? Would you see if Democrats
have ever used intimidation to keep black citizens from fully participating in our democracy,
our constitutional republic. Whatever. Sure, yeah, let me check yes they
did. Oh wow, really really that is crazy. Apparently there's a history
of that. Get so fast. Yeah no, that was so. I
didn't even hear you type and seeing nothing no click any clack in there.
So oh man, yeah, this stuff is this stuff's not okay. And
then lastly, if at noon today break you get all the breaking news alerts
right, uh wait, was it Ross you talked out of running for office?
The office? No, I wanted to say thank you for helping me
with that decision. I do appreciate it. Thank you for the kind words.
Dude, that was an awkward conversation to have with my buddy because I'm
like, I think he'd be great, but also like, he's one of
those dudes that is real, real, real protective of his privacy and I'm
just saying, it's just you're not your personality type. So but luckily he's
got he does okay, so he can help in other ways. But yeah,
it wasn't Ross. But yeah, going back to this man, it's
just oh, it's so bad, and I we we have to know what
they did, because this isn't just somebody was late to work too many times,
all right, this is something else and maybe she didn't do it,
and if that's the case, reported we'll be back. That's right. So
Ross and I let me let me explain this. So we go to we
go to break. We had a longer break there because I rolled it through,
and uh, Ross and I have been talking about Star Trek for the
break and then I and I remember we had a story that got me thinking
about this, and then we were talking about it, and now I can't
remember why we're talking about it, but I'm also very glad we had a
long conversation about Star Trek, so because that's a good use of one's time.
So any who, maybe I'll remember, but either way, all right,
let me let me get over to this. Do all right, So
you knew it was going to happen after twice during his visit to Scranton,
PA, Joe Biden told the story that we talked about yesterday once again.
If you missed it, here he is chatting about his war hero uncle,
who, by the way, I want to be clear, I got I
got, I got no I have. I don't know anything. Well,
I guess now I do, because I researched it so I could have the
truth for you. But I don't got beef with his uncle. It's in
Honestly, the whole thing's just so weird because like Biden's thing is telling like
ten stories over and over and over again, but different each time. And
by the way, that's not a unique thing, especially for politicians who especially
the ones who are more pandery, like hey, I'm just like you kind
of thing that that's not different. This was just so crazy. I couldn't
believe I had never heard it before. Here is Joe Biden talking about his
uncle, who was among four members of his family to immediately go to war
during World War Two, and tragically he was the one who didn't come back.
Here is Biden explaining that yesterday Ms Finnan they called him Uncle Bosey.
He was shot down. He was Army Air Corps before there was an air
force, before a single engine plane reconnaissance flights over New Guinea. He volunteered
because someone who couldn't make it got shot down in an area where there were
a lot of cannibals. In the beginning at the time, they never recovered
his body, but the government went back when I went down there, and
they checked and counts parts of the plane and the life. And what I
was thinking about while I was standing there was when Trump refuears to go up
to the more. Yah yah, Yeah, we've heard the suckers and losers.
And by the way, that'll come back here. So that story,
and again, as I reminded you, if you can simply look at the
record, his uncle did serve. He was second lieutenant. UH. He
was on a on a dual engine plane with the three crew members. He
was not a crew member. He is listed as a courier on there.
But as Biden pointed out, he said, somebody couldn't go to his uncle
went. So that's that's not unusual. But everything else is wrong. One,
they were not on a reconnaissance flight. They were they were literally transferring
him and some items from baseless Negros to the base that we had in New
Guinea and uh and the reason just a reminder, because I saw some people
go why would they be down there? This was this is right in the
window of when the Japanese and the US are in this struggle to control all
of these pieces of land nearer Japan. Japan is japan is doing everything their
power to make sure that the US does not have an airfield within striking distance,
because eventually we did, and we carried out a lot of bombings,
including two big ones you probably heard of, but that you know that follows
you with Jima and all this other stuff, so reconnaissance flights, especially with
what the Japanese were doing in the Philippines and parts of Indonesia, it's it's
if you've never read the Japanese occupation of the Philippines, it's it's insane,
like they just go they just go into villages and they get all the dudes
and essentially put them in custody, and then they would just rape all their
women in front of them and then either kill the dudes or keep them around
to watch his prisoners. It's it's it's really really twisted horror, you know,
just another twisted, horrible portion of World War two, all right,
And I would encourage you if if people concentrate a lot on obviously, towards
the end of the Japanese battle, some of the bigger ones like Ywajima,
and of course you know what was going on over in Europe. But what
the Japanese were doing to people in the Philippines, Indonesia and parts in between
was it's really really I know, Hitler gets all the attention when you're talking
about the most horrible people of that, but what the Japanese army was doing
there and their medical program, which is what they called but really it was
some of the most obscene human testing that you could contemplate. So with that
in mind their positioning over there, we obviously have positions down there. None
of this is unusual. And if his uncle's plane, as listed in the
documents, was a suffered dual engine failure and tried to ditch in the ocean,
there's nothing to be ashamed of of that, right that this is a
guy who, along with other family members did what a lot of people during
World War Two did and said, oh hell no, and and you know,
literally lie about their ages and stuff. I mean, that's so I
saw some people that are kind of beefing on the uncle And I don't what
Joe Biden's telling you though, isn't right And it's not even close. Like
the only thing is his uncle was in a plane and then the plane went
down. It wasn't shot down. It had engine failure. And we know
the series of events because one of those three crew members survived and was able
to detail exactly what was up and gave you there's a very detailed description.
Can go read it if you want. And he said when he came up,
the other three never emerged. And Biden also said they went and found
parts of the place. No, they didn't the things at the bottom of
the ocean. So you knew that that was to be a question that came
up for missus Jean Pierre. And now it's almost like a sport to me
to see how bad she can be with stuff she doesn't want to talk about.
And we had some doozies. But let's get into it, shall we.
Oh man, Ross just sent me some nuts. All right, Hey,
let me do this. All right, let's so this is this is
not in the press room. She's traveling and you have the press pool traveling.
I think they're going to Philadelphia or wherever, so it's a more casual
environment. But also listen to this. Look. I'll just and I think
we shared this with some of you's. I'm just gonna kind of repeat.
Look that you saw the president He was incredibly proud of his uncle's service in
uniform. You saw him at the war memorial. It was incredibly emotional and
important to him. And by the way, nobody has beef with that at
all. I mean, not anyone who matters idiots on Twitter. Idiots on
Twitter. Is this email cut him some slack. He said his uncle's job.
He was not applying. He was on a reconmission, and I mentioned
that yesterday when we talked about it. But also that wasn't his uncle's job,
not that day and not other days. Okay, So it was similar
insomuch as his second lieutenant, he had some command control. I have to
go back and read it. But again it's the cannibal's part that I think
is sticking in people's brain, and that requires that you went down literally where
the cannibals are, which is not the middle of the ocean. Okay,
all right, So anyway back to this horrible answer, here we go.
Saw him respond to all of you when asked about the moment yesterday and his
uncle who lost his life when the military aircraft he was on crash in the
Pacific after taking off near New Guinea. The President highlighted his oh, this
is the story, as he made the case for honoring our sacred commitment to
equip those we send to war and to take care of them and their families
when they come home. All right, And I'm gonna pause here because everything
she just said right there, I mean, it is spin right there.
But Joe Biden, the reason Joe Biden was talking about it, whatever you
think his motivation was, is because he was at that war memorial and he
is the uncle's name is on it. And yeah, yeah, people want
to talk about their family. But he didn't tell the correct story at all.
And while she is, if you listen to her word, she's being
very careful how she words it, so it is accurate. But the last
fifteen seconds where she goes are right where you think she's going to go.
So here is the rest of her statement. And as he reiterated that the
last thing American veterans are are suckers or losers, and he wanted to make
that clear. He wanted to make a statement the story. I mean,
look, I don't have anything beyond about what I just laid out, but
it was a really proud moment for him. It was incredibly emotional. Yeah,
Okay, Again, I don't begrudge any of that, but and and
they let her, and then they stopped pestering her about it. And you
just if it was one of Trump's people, they'd still they wouldn't accept it,
and they would still be you know, they put it on the list
of Trump's lives. Remember the New York Times had that Washington Post. I
think Aril was doing that with McCrory, right, that was the hot thing
then. So yeah, but you know, what do you expect? All
right, seven forty six, here's what I expect. Race stage. It's
going to take your Friday and throw your curve walls. Maybe some fun weather,
no, no, stop, yeah no, we scheduled this stuff for
Monday. Maybe let us let us have our weekend. No, well,
the weekend's not all bad. Today, I'll get a little tough at times.
Already seen showers coming into the mountains out near Ashville. They're heading east,
so spreading west east. Showers scattered about late morning into the afternoon.
Try it to the triangle if they're coming west east. Obviously, if that's
how it goes, at a few thunderstorms that could be severe. There's a
small chance of severe weather it's a slight risk from the Storm Prediction Center,
which is actually one of the lower risks, but it doesn't mean it's zero.
It could only be one storm. Just means that it could have strong
winds and hail, small risk of a tornado that's spin up. Otherwise,
clouds and maybe some sunshine around as we've see in some spots this morning.
Tonight, we'll still have some scattered showers and thunderstorms around. After we go
near eighty today tonight we'll drop to sixty. And the beginning of the weekend
actually not bad. Cloudy seventy five but dry, so no rain Saturday,
and then rain's coming Sunday, but it looks like it's early to mid afternoon,
so you may get half of Sunday casey with dry weather, but it's
gonna be cool and probably an indoor afternoon on Sunday with highs close to about
sixty degrees. I will say the further north you go in Northwest will be
less of a chance of rain. I wouldn't be surprised if some of us
don't get much rain at all on Sunday, especially as you go north into
the northern parts of state, up near the Virginia borders. You go south,
there'll be a better chance. But the good news is next week high
pressure is going to be back. Great start to the week next week,
mid sixties on Monday, sunny, sunny Tuesday, sunny, Wednesday, probably
sunny Thursday. Chapters back into the seventies, maybe close to eighty degrees by
the middle and end of Wednesday. So it looks pretty good next week.
Got to deal with a little wet weather a couple of rounds today, there'll
be dry hours in between, and then a little rain on Sunday afternoon.
That takes Saturday as the better day of the weekend. Okay, all right,
well, yeah it is what it is. Thank you appreciate it.
Yes it is okay. All right, there you go, raced agic from
the Weather Channel. So I guess do all your fun stuff Saturday. All
Right'm gonna take a break. I have one other Biden cut from his travels
this week, and I'm just gonna let you know. You're gonna have to
make a decision. Okay, I'll tell you what it is. Plus Pete
calendar, He comes and joins US eight five All on the way here on
the CaCO Day Radio program. Coming up. Like I said, we'll chat
with our counterpart down Charlotte Way mid Day's WBT that is Pete counter and we
share our prep lists. We share our prep list. No I'm not damn
it, the paywall and the Charlotte Observer, Oh look at that. Just
go to this website and bypassed. Okay, and it seems he had he
too has been captivated. Captivated by crazy this week. Man. I know
I say it every week, but sometimes I'm I'm embellishing, but not this
week. So we'll get into a bunch including and this is really why I'm
excited to talk to him. If you remember the story we did yesterday of
this sixteen year old in Lexington who's in a high school class English class of
some sort, and the teacher is giving them a list of vocabulary words,
which one of them was alien, which, by the way, the whole
thing is kind of weird because that sounds like stuff you do in like elementary
school, with vocabulary words, short vocabulary words. But I don't know the
assignment, but I do know everyone seemingly agrees that when the teacher said that,
he asked a qualifying question, and that was, do you mean space?
Aliens or illegal aliens, and for that question, and I guess he
asked it at least twice. He received three days suspension, and that is
also going to be explained in his record, because it's going to say along
the lines that he was suspended for racism and his family, as you can
imagine, is not pleased. And that was the point that they brought up.
You basically just label my kid a rasis. How is that gonna look
trying to do college stuff, especially when you consider the the mindset of many
who work in university environments. Well, Pete actually interviewed the mom, so
we'll get into that. I'm very curious. I listened to just a couple
of minutes of it and then I got super distracted yesterday. So I'll let
him explain it, all right, let me get over to this one other
cut here. So when not waxing nostalgic about that time your uncle got shot
down and eaten by cannibals, you know, Biden still saying some other stuff
during those speeches that had me scratching my head, like this one right here,
and this is Biden talking about what's at stake in this election. Okay,
here we go Are you ready to choose freedom over democracy? Because that's
America? Okay, all right, just a little short clip. Are you
ready to choose freedom? He's freedom, I guess, and then democracy is
Trump? But I thought Trump was opposed to democracy, Like isn't that all
of That's what all of the the stuff was, right, Like his own
advertising is like he's trying to destroy democracy the line in the media, Now,
I got it. Don't call by the way, I understand, we
are not a democracy, and frankly a pure democracy. I'm not good with
that. I like the system we have, you know, when people are
actually abiding by the rules. But so, but if I had to chop
ross, you're on your going freedom right instead of democracy, if you're forced
to make the decision. I mean, for me, freedom sounds like freedom
right right, all right? But democracy speaking democracy, you know, it
leads to my rules. So I'm going freedom right right right? Yeah?
No, no, no, if you put it in that in that pure
point, but correct me if I'm wrong. But isn't every attack Biden attack
ad and isn't it about Trump's trying to destroy democracy? Every congressional talking point
from Chuck Schumer and others, it's an attack on our democracy. I mean,
that's so for him to say that, but that also being the strategy
of his campaign. It hurts my brain. It is the CaCO Day radio
program. It is that fun time of the week when we welcome our radio
buddy to the South Pete Calendar Middays WBT. You can hear him on the
iHeart radio app or should you dare to go to the most dangerous city of
Charlotte over the airwaves. I'm just look, you got naked people in your
planet fitnesses. You got crazy folks running around stabbing people. You got the
homeless who I guess they're they're sticking them in the stadium or something, which
I it was my idea, by the way point, or I'm sorry,
yes, yes, yes, yea, at the airport, at the airport,
uh but no, no, no, But basically to relocate them,
I advocated for the stadium, uh because there's you put them up up upper
deck. Nobody's up there even during that So yeah. So, uh but
we're going to try to cover a crap ton of things and uh so let's
uh, let's both of us commit to uh being quick, because I want
to get through this list where do you want to start? I'll ask you
because I look at your list and it's most of the stuff I love.
Oh, I just throw stuff on that list just to say, like,
these are things that I'm reasonably aware of, and then I, uh I
send it over to you. So uh yeah, anywhere on the list is
fine. But since you already hit the the crime, we can do this.
I just highlighted the difference here between if you get busted for something in
Charlotte Mecklenburg County versus getting busted in Gaston County right next door, just across
the Cotsauba River. If you are in uptown, apparently you get to stab
people multiple times, life threatening injuries. They go to the hospital, no
self defense claim necessary, you are released on an unsecured bond. So I've
wanted to while in uptown of Charlotte, I have thought about stabbing people.
Yeah, just basically because some people are so rude in public. The difference
is I didn't, but now knowing this, I wish I had right or
anytime, just you know, during rush hour, just if you can get
close enough, stabby, stab and you're free to go. Go across the
river though, and just walking around naked in the women's shower area asking seventeen
year olds to rub lotion all over your body while showering with them. That
will get you thrown into the jail and a bond. And as far as
I know, the person who is alleged to have committed said lude and lacibious
act, they are still in the jail. I don't know the person claimed
to be trans but the nine one one call said that it was a dude,
and I saw there was one report WSOC TV said that they have not
yet spoken to this suspect, so they cannot confirm whether the person is transgender
or not, which I told the SoC people like, that's you're not going
to find that out by talking to them, because all they have to say
is that they are transgender, and that's all it takes. Right, And
it was the k you mentioned in that the comment about the lotion was more
than just that it was lotion and was some other It was clearly not typical
locker room behavior if you're just, quote, you know, trying to live
your true life, because well, I don't know, I've not spent a
lot of time in women's locker rooms, Casey, I assume I assume if
they're like women's restroom for whatever reason, they're like nine times filthier than men's
restrooms, which is because usually it's men who are dirty, but women's restrooms
are roast man. That's true. No, that's I've seen the science and
the data on that. That is true. Well, I think it's also
the like you can go you can go in and out as a dude.
You can go in and out of a restroom and really not touch anything in
the in the room. Right, Yeah, yep, it's it is.
It is an art, but it is doable. My question is, in
in jail, is he also like this is the true test of whether he
really wanted somebody in the public shower to rub lotion on him, if in
fact he requests that at the in the pokey there. So yeah, we
know, do we know? I mean because that my master is claim or
her claim or whatever. I don't know. So that's story number one.
And let me attach the story if I could, Pete, what a difference
who's in charge of actually enforcing our laws makes? I know that we beat
this to death. You saw the video in Winston Salem with the kid slapping
the teacher multiple times knocking the glasses offer Jim O'Neill, who just full disclosure,
is still he is in the Lieutenant governor's runoff, but he's a prosecutor
there. And that dude was on it yet like five minutes after it happened,
or the video was and is actually pursuing it. And it is so
night and day when we see this stuff right and right there. And that's
I've said this now for a while, which is all of this garbage that
we're seeing, whether it's the street takeover because you know the Golden Gate bridge
takeover that occurred a couple of days ago over quote Palestine, they all of
those people walked, no charges for any of them, and what they literally
did was kidnapping. Everybody that was stuck on that bridge and could not get
off that bridge was being prohibited from doing so by somebody else's actions. Right,
So, I mean I've seen people that charge kidnapping when you know,
close a door and you can't get out of an office or something like,
that's kidnapping because you're preventing them from leaving. Right. But yes, the
leadership makes a difference, and this is going this kind of stuff is going
to continue until Americans say no more, until Americans say stop, we are
no longer putting up with this crap, then it's gonna it will continue.
And now how Americans say that, I don't know whether it's through law enforcement
like gremonial or it's through direct vigilante action out on the streets when somebody tries
to prevent you from driving to work or taking your kid someplace or picking your
kid up, and you're just gonna people are just gonna start taking the matters
into their own hands. And I'm not advocating that. I don't want that,
but that's where this goes, no, and that is to that that
is a point that we have harped on on this show because I also don't
I don't want people feeling like they got to go out and go full nightstick
or maybe even worse on somebody. But it is the inevitability once you determined
that the job which you're paying for right to be done. When he paid
taxes and my buddy, my buddy owns a store in downtown Raleigh, and
when they had the mostly peaceful protests and they started, you know, burning
the CBS just down the street from looting through stuff, sitting there and listening
to him explaining to me all the ways in which he sought help from city,
from the city, whether it was police or lawmakers, only to be
ignored. And it ended with him and the adjacent shop owner moving into their
stores with guns yea, and staying in there until this was over and nothing
happened. And he's a responsible dude. I don't think he would go but
sometimes this does. But in Nebraska, I know. Do you remember the
story of the bar owner in Nebraska who shot the dude who came into the
bar, And initially they're like it was it was self defense, and then
an activist, activist prosecutor got in there and eventually decided to go ahead bring
it to trial. Do you think I killed himself? Well, there's a
story today. There's a story this morning out of New York where they are
not bringing charges against a seventeen year old who shot and killed a store owner
after he robbed them. He robbed the store and as he's walking out,
the shop owner goes after him, like walks after him to say, give
me back my stuff, and the kid kills him. And he is not
a defense right, That's what obviously my head oh dude. Yeah, all
right, I'm gonna I'm gonna continue. Yeah, it's going to continue until
people say stop, I gotta I gotta pull this over. But no,
I share your prediction. And when it does, the the feigned outrage is
going to be just I'll probably have take the day off. It'll make me
so angry. Here's what doesn't make me angry. Although I am going to
disagree with you, although technically this is a quote, so I'll see if
you agree with it. I highly encourage any visitors to the great state of
North Carolina, especially dumb ones, to avail themselves of this amazing opportunity where
you can. We have such great agriculture here. Literally we have bear cubs
growing on trees. Feel free to grab them, absolutely kick them off.
What you want to do is poke them so they make this squeally noise that
bear cubs do for you know, anyone who may be listening just slightly into
the woods, that's fine. So no, I'm I'm all for it.
I know Ashville officials like, don't do this, dummies, and especially don't
drop one, but no, no, no, I'm going the other way.
I don't want to get hurt. I want you to have that cuddle
session and good luck. So that I thought, you know what, Casey,
this is why we get along, because I love the same thing I
would like, Oh yeah, this is a remarkable method to co our herd.
You know, Darwin Awards and tree. I'm thinking I told you about
two rist scoring season, right, Yes, you did, right, one
of my favorite growing up memories. Right. So see I saw the story
as I immediately thought of you, and so that's why I put it on
my list, because yeah, yeah, you got these morons that literally walk
there in some apartment complex. There's a chain link fence and on the other
side of the fence there's this tree and it's not a very large tree.
It's maybe like you know, ten feet fall or whatever. And there are
two little baby cubs and these cubs are young, right, you can tell
these are very young baby cubs. And these people go over and they pluck,
they try to pluck both of the cubs out of this little tree.
They only get one and then they like dropped one and they took a picture
with it, and then the cub is trying to get back. It like
tries to run away, and it's running along the chain link fence, but
it can't climb the fence. And then like the wildlife people had to come
and they took the cubs into into custody or whatever they do with these cubs
to to protect them. Basically. Now, what's amazing to me was that
all of those people that did it did not get mauled by the mother who
was apparently not around. Not sure where the mother went, but the fact
that all of those people were not just savaged. I don't I cannot explain
that. Yeah, yeah, it's well. And then and on a more
serious note too, I'm sure everyone's heard this, but just a reminder it
don't don't touch baby animals unless I like it's stuck in a fence or something
and you're doing it, because a lot of times they will be rejected.
And now you have a scenario where you have an animal who is has essentially
been excommunicated because of the scent it carries and and other stuff. I've seen
it with antelope, man, I've had to pull it. When I was
growing up. I pulled a couple of baby antelope out of because they tangle
in the fence because they don't jump on the deer, do they try to
go through it. Yeah, and in both instances have lightly handling their legs
to get him out of the fence. Both instances the mom rejected them.
So yeah, but in this case that would have been the sad part would
be then they destroy the mother. So so there is that. But yeah,
no, I'd encourage a tourist goring season favorite family memory. And that's
probably because I didn't have a family member consumed by cannibals. So I did
have I did have a distant family member who was killed in Native American raid.
Yeah, yeah, back, they did not, and he had,
and I'm relying on the reports of the time from the notes at Fort Pilcarney,
they indicate that he had attempted to take shelter in an outhouse. So
literally a distant relative was killed, like he was the dude in Unforgiven who
cut up the whore. So but the difference was he wasn't in there for
traditional purposes. He was in there to take cover and it didn't make out.
But not canals, No, they didn't need them. So what do
you think the Tourism division in New Guinea thinks of that story that our president
fabricated, because it's It's clear he fabricated the story. He made it up.
The records are not right. The records indicate that the plane ditched in
the water, not that it was shot down or something by the cannibals.
Now, I was not aware until I saw it on y'all's Twitter feed that
mermaids and merman are cannibals. I was well aware that that is one of
the historical versions of what mermaids and merman are like. When you see the
way that they've been represented prior to you know, the Disney movie. Yeah,
a lot of times they look like they look like demons with big teeth.
Man. But oh my, so maybe those are the ones he ran
into. I don't know. Look, here's the deal. You know New
Guinea Papua New Guinea as a one of the most recent histories of cannibalism.
You have the story also of the Kennedy cousin. Right, he went down
there and that specific tribe. I watched something on it. That specific tribe
to this day doesn't make pun intended. They make no bones about it.
Right. A lot of times it wasn't for consumption purposes. It was along
the lines of eating your enemy soul kind of stuff really creepy, right,
But I think that's the story. I think that's the story Joe adopted.
I think he adopted the Kennedy story. I think when you get as adult
as he is, I think all of the lies and stories that you have
told from your past, you don't remember what's true any longer, and so
you've now adopted these stories you have heard as if they are you your history.
Yeah. Yeah, crossed my mind because of the similarities there. But
man, he was, as Jean Pierre said, he was so emotional,
so to share his memory there. And then have you seen the RL story?
Aril wrote this story. It's amazing about the d HHS worker and Yolanda
Hill, Mark Robinson's wife. Okay, that is crazy town, man,
I'm gonna get We'll get into more next week because I have to ask you
about this. We did the story yesterday the kid in Lexington with the illegal
alien thing. You interviewed the mom I have, Yeah, I got two
minutes, give me the reader's digest on that's what's happening. And Mark Robinson
said he's going to dig into this, but fill me in, fill us
in. So right, So kid named Christian McGee he's in English class.
He's assigned some vocabulary lesson in One of the words in the vocabulary list is
the word alien, and I guess he's supposed to use it in a sentence
or something. And he says, you know what an alien like space alien
or illegal alien without a green cart, and some other kid who apparently maybe
a minority, I don't know, uh, it gets offend thretons to beat
him up. They go, the teacher calls the principal. The principal settles
it out in the hallway and he was just asking a question. The kid
was just kidding when he said he's going to beat up Christian, and so
they go back to the classroom. Later, an assistant principal comes in and
takes the threatening kid out, talks with that kid, and then suspends Christian
at the end of the day three day suspension non appealable. Mom is now
trying to get it expunged from his record, saying that it was overreach and
it was you know, the punishment doesn't fit and there was no crime.
Basically, I've been I've been forwarding this stuff to her, which is she's
been offered representation by various lawyers and organizations. National media is now seeming Dylan.
Yeah, yeah, Army Dylan was one of them. Yeah, So
all right, so that's the research where we are. So she but just
line thirty seconds. But she gonna fight this thing because I don't blame her.
Your kid on his record, it says suspended essentially for racism. How
does that look into college admissions in today's universities? Right, And this kind
of stuff can actually lead to you not getting admitted or getting scholarships, just
like the cheerleader chick out in I think Texas or Louisiana or something. So
yeah, it can have detrimental effects on the kid's future, and so she
wants it expunge. I don't blame I. I got it. I'm sorry,
I got like ten seconds. So yeah, just real quick. The
only thing to say is that we don't know what the school side or the
other kid's side of the story. Correct. All right, thanks Pete,
and we'll be back hanging out here. In the show, I mentioned that
in Indiana they arrested a teacher, a special ed teacher, and may charge
another substitute because running a special ed elementary fight club on video. They were
literally having special needs students fight each other to resolve differences and laughing about it
and sending messages like all these kids are demonic and I won't bury him out
of the prison, but I have we got one to go with him,
which we'll try to get to that as well. One last thing on uh
Papoo in New Guinea or New Guinea uh. As far as you know,
I know a lot of people of the tourists that go there. I guess
on the uh Papua side because the island's split. They have some pretty intense
and kind of famous climbing and mountain climbing and free climbing, but also you
know, like UH and I and it's it's incredibly beautiful and I can't remember
the mountains are called, but they they're like the Teitons. There's just nothing
that looks like them. So I know folks go there, but I'm reminded.
I got a buddy who is from Australia. He's lived in this He's
lived in Raleigh for I don't know a long time now, but him and
I play golf, and I remember one time he was telling when he was
still working in Australia, he worked for a company that they were involved in
shipping, and I think they did energy exploration, but they worked up in
the Torres Strait, which, if you don't know, that's the area the
small gap between the very northern end of Australia and New Guinea. It's basically
like the distance to Cuba from Florida. And as a result, he on
occasion would go to, you know, some of the villages there in New
Guinea, whether they're refueling, dropping stuff off, and he said that one
of his first times up there was really weird because he's sitting there and it's
like if you ever got off a cruise ship in the Caribbean and all of
a sudden, all the locals are there, either trying to sell you stuff
or whatever. He said that it was that, but one of the guys
there was attempting to negotiate something and he didn't quite understand what it was,
and then it was explained to him a dude tried to trade. He wanted
my buddy to give him a pig and a hair brush. I'd always stood
out the hairbrush part in exchange for his thirteen year old daughter. My buddy
refused, but that was that would have been late nineties. So I don't
know, man, But again, maybe they're screwing with him too, but
he didn't sound like they were. He was just super creeped out, as
most people would be. All right, let me pivot over to this.
If you maybe you've seen this story in Utah. You had about what seventy
eighty kids who walked out of a school there, you know, stage to
walk out, and but not for some of the reasons we've seen, like
divest from Israel, or I hate Trump or whatever it has been. No,
no, no, they walked out because they claimed that school officials were
not doing anything to stem the tide of students being harassed and in some cases
physically harassed by students who identify as furries. I suspect they're not in full
regalia, and you know, we've got the years and stuff. But the
students claimed that like some of these students who would come up and lick them,
and it's just really creepy. Now. Now, look, it's a
bunch of kids all talking at one time explaining that. However, the school
has responded, as you'll hear in this this news clip, and they didn't
outright dismissed what these kids are saying so like that. That tells me that
something's up there. So that's the story. And then about twenty minutes ago,
Ross sends me this amazing video. So this is the NBC News Salt
Lake City. I guess salt is probably the Salt Lake because it's in just
outside of Salt Lake interviewing. Not the students, not the teachers, not
principle, not the other students who are accused of licking. Instead, this
reporter decided to set up an interview with a member of the furry community.
And it's a thing, thank you. This is Strudel, by the way,
I forgot, and they go by Strudel. I refuse, I refuse.
All right, anyway, here we go. Thank you. This is
Strudel, a member of the furry fandom. Though they've been a furry for
over a decade, they have their own opinions. It's crazy that it's escalated
to this point where these kids are being so distracting to their peers that their
peers want to stage at walkout or to have, you know, the next
generation kind of muddy our name and not represent it very well. It is
kind of disappointing. Strudell believes there should be some limits. Continue doing things
you like, continue dressing up, continue making art, but maybe let's keep
it outside of school hours. As for the school, Sorenson says, they
have one main goal. We want every student to feel safe when they come
to school, and we want students to get along. In fact, we
want adults to get along. Okay, all right, well yeah that's and
sorry the little floating head there on that he's I don't know if he's the
principal or one of the ministrators, but he's the school spokesperson for the for
the purpose of this how did you procure this inner? Like this is what
I'm fascinated about, Like she had I suspect that I'll use it. Strudel
didn't call the newsroom, right, so this reporter who is you know,
tasked to go and report on this story? What do you just reach out
to like a free meetup group? And then is there a conversation about whether
you're gonna wear your suit or not? Because like from a sound from a
sound standpoint, it's it's it's distracting. It's like, I think it's perfect.
Why do you think it's because I think it's funny. It is fine.
I think the muffled sound of her and her strudle, What is she
a cat? I don't know. I was going to ask you because I
have no idea. I don't know if it's a county. You know what
she is. She's a human, That's what she is. She's a human.
Wow in a Halloween disrespect. It's not disrespect, it's she's a human.
And here's and here's the deal. I look, I understand the whole
furry If you just want to wear a suit whatever, and then uh,
you know, have weird uh you know, orgies at coton whatever, do
whatever you want. Or if you just feel like you want to wear it
to uh David Busters down in the Apex, which was a thing that happened
a few years ago, like a furry meetup group, that's fine, do
whatever you want. Obviously, what we're talking about here is students harassing other
students and in some cases physically. And I agree with Strudel, but you
said, if you're a frey given an interview, there's no question you wear
your suit, right. I mean, I would think so, but in
this situation. The most famous furry interview until this was when they interviewed the
head of the furry conference in Chicago where they had to quickly evacuate the hotel
from a chlorine leak I think from the pool. And so you have pandemonium
on the snowy streets of Chicago and it's just covered with fire trucks and furries.
And then the dude in charge walks over and he's not in any costume,
and he gives an interview and he sounded exactly like I thought he was
going to sound. Here is that from a few years ago, we've been
having a grand old time and we do not know what's going on at this
time. We've been asked to leave the hotel for unknown reasons. But we
have a lot of costumers out here with big, fluffy costumes that'll keep people.
So at this point we're not at all worried, all right, And
he look, I appreciate the guy's attitude, right, He's just like,
look live and let live. We'll do this, and uh, that's fine
because they weren't run around licking people. But I don't know, man,
thing is so creepy. The and he didn't constant, no, that not
the costume, the part where you just be sitting like kids suck anyway to
other kids. Occasionally it's part of growing up. But if some person dressed
up as a cat, even if it's just the ears and some makeup,
as they describe it in one of the other stories, and they just run
around licking people, no, no, no, no, no no no.
I'm surprised somebody hasn't got punched in the face. But anyway, I'm
sure what were you saying the guy was side there in Chicago. Yes,
because he was not in his for a use that he didn't have his his
maskot or whatever. It's non professional. Throw him out of the pack.
Well he's that he was the leader, but don't vote and ban him for
life. Doesn't have the respect and the admiration like Strudel does for the community,
right, Strudel Strudele is a pro. Really you think Strudel's the real
name? And what does Strudel have to do with an animal? But do
you make Strudel out of cat? I don't know. I know that we
got to talk to Ray real quick because weather's gonna be a mixed bag,
all right, fire aways, sir, Sorry to hit you there. Yeah,
well maybe if you're going home and get a cut the grass, do
it. Now, you got a couple hours yet before the showers come in
Dispatch now getting through Ashville and moving on into Yancey County, Avery County at
heading east. So obviously try it first in the triangle and then we get
a break. Then we'll get more showers, thunder showers into the afternoon.
Now the Store Prediction Center does give us a marginal risk for a severe storm
or two, so well, we'll have to keep our eyes out for that.
Near eighty degrees may stay in the upper seventies, especially where you get
more rain, and we'll have some scattered showers with butterstorms early tonight. Then
overnight we'll drop to a cooler sixty mainly cloudy tomorrow up into the mid seventies.
So Saturday is going to be dry. We'll get some rain around Sunday,
mainly in the afternoon. Cool temperatures though Sunday only near sixty. But
it looks like a beautiful start to the week next week with warming temperatures getting
back into the seventies by Tuesday Wednesday. So the little rain got this one
batch of showers coming through. May rain for maybe an hour or two and
then we get a break. Then we'll get more later today, so we
probably actually end up KC with in terms of daylight and dry hours, more
hours of dry than wet, so it's not a complete washout. Sunday afternoon,
Sunday night looks a little different. That could be a steadier rain,
but less rain as you go just north or maybe some of us near the
border of Virginia to get no rain. It'll be a little bit more just
down towards the south. Okay, all right, we'll have a good weekends.
Yeah, appreciate it. We'll chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on.
Well, good morning, Casey. Yeah, the Blue Chips managed a
small advance yesterday, but the S and P and the Nasdaq both ended lower.
Stock market futures have turned a volatile after reports of Israel launching retaliatory attacks
on Iran overnight. Right now, the S and P futures are up by
a fraction. The NASDAC and Dow futures are modestly lower. No relief in
sight when it comes to sky high chocolate prices. Cocoa prices surge yesterday.
They closed at a record high. Coco futures are nearly four times higher than
they were just a year ago. Federal Reserve officials are still driving home the
message they are in no hurry to start cutting interest rates. Atlanta FED President
Raphael Bostik spoke in Florida yesterday, saying that for now he's comfortable with rates
at their present level. He thinks it will be close to the end of
the year before it's appropriate to start lowering rates. Minneapolis Fed President Neil Cashkerrey
told Fox News rates could be held steady all year. White House Economic advisor
Lyle Brainerd says the administration wants to keep gasoline prices from spiking this summer.
She did not offer details on what will be done, other than to say
that officials want to keep pump prices within current ranges. Brainard sidestepped questions about
a possible new release from the strategic petroleum rege. Netflix, coming off a
blowout quarter. The streaming video service had its best start to a year since
twenty twenty, adding nine point three million subscribers in the first quarter. Paramount
Global may become the target of a bidding war. Paramount's been talking to David
Ellison's sky Dance Media. Now, Apollo Global Management and Sony Group are considering
making a joint offer for the parent of CBS, MTV and other networks,
and Casey, being remembered in a loved one's will doesn't necessarily mean a gift
of money or fine jewelry. A survey in the UK found a significant number
of people leave things like washing machines and refrigerators to their heirs, and a
lot of the recipients, especially the younger ones, are happy to get them.
Casey, it seems normal. Is that not normal? I remember my
mom's will literally detailed some of her more expensive items. So all right,
maybe we're the weird ones. All right, No, I guess it just
gets rather granular. Okay, yeah, like far as you had farm equipment
in there was crazy, man, But yeah, it just seemed natural at
the time. We'll have a good weekend, okay, Jeff, Okay,
you do the same, take care all right, Yeah, there you go.
Yeah, it was I remember that too. She had an old detailed
the whole thing. And anyway, all right, let me grab a quick
phone call and then we're gonna try to fit. We're gonna have to rapid
fire a couple of things. Janet, real quick, what's up, hey,
Casey? I was just wanting to talk about President Man lives there.
Maybe we should just be grateful for where we are in the moment, because
you know, I mean, next month it could be anything like his son
got eight miles of Arts and Nemesis corn Coffer and whatever. If it wasn't
so such a serious job, it would be, uh, it would be
one hundred percent funny. But it is. It gets funnier every time I
will say that ror cannibals are not right. I thought I would be thinking
about this week. So yeah, I don't know, Janem. Well,
I just hope it lasts long enough to you know, finish out his time,
because I'd rather have president than President spreading. Okay, all right,
well that's is that. Well anyway, I'll leave that right there. But
have a good weekend, Okay, Janet, there you go. Oh Man,
all right, all right, here we go. Uh, Elon Musk.
This is the headline. All right, So as you know, he
has h he has been suffering quite a few allegations, investigations and government interference.
Uh. This is uh, this is uh an ex NASA physicist who's
quoted in here. Here's the headline, Elon Musk, Starlink satellites might be
eroding Earth's magnetic field and atmosphere and slowly poisoning us. All I know that
there are the Starlingk satellites are numerous. That being said, there's a crap
ton more satellites than than you know the totality of what Elon Musk has.
And why is this the first time I'm hearing that the satellites are doing this?
Do you know how much crap is flowing around the space? You ever
see a map of that including satellites and other stuff? This is bonkers,
man, And it's it's all conjecture, right, It's a guy's theory on
this, but it's like, is this where we are? He's he's literally
he's the bad guy in Star Trek? Which Star Trek? Was it Star
Trek Insurrection? Stealing the planet's atmosphere that kept people from age? I remember
that movie's a piece of crap. It is, it's a dumpster fire.
I totally agree, But that was the premise, right, it was they
were I have purged that from my memory. Oh well, it's probably good.
Do you know it was the highest grossing opening weekend of it. I'm
not surprised it came after First Contact though, I believe right so, and
that movie was amazing, so people are like, oh my god, star
Trek is so back, and then we would Man, it sucked. Do
you think Elon's dresses are Romulan while he does it? I think that's who
was stealing it, So I don't know. Yeah, that movie was not good
