WEBVTT 1 00:00:07.879 --> 00:00:46.079 Remember I remember, all right, just morning everybody, and happy Wednesday, 2 00:00:46.359 --> 00:00:52.359 you know, the middle of a wheek. Yeah, they have a name 3 00:00:52.439 --> 00:00:55.920 for it. I'm not gonna play in stupid guy coach commercial or whatever it 4 00:00:56.000 --> 00:01:02.399 is. I do know it is the third Wednesday, so we should be 5 00:01:02.479 --> 00:01:07.040 chatting with the Lieutenant governor today, right, which is good because boy boy, 6 00:01:07.079 --> 00:01:14.760 I got some stories that are right in that dude's wheelhouse. So that 7 00:01:15.000 --> 00:01:17.680 but that's two hours away, so you're gonna have to put up with us 8 00:01:17.760 --> 00:01:26.439 till then. It's just how it goes, little little fun weather ross. 9 00:01:26.680 --> 00:01:30.319 Uh do you guys lose power up at the Hayes Compound. I mean, 10 00:01:30.319 --> 00:01:34.280 I know you guys have a series of generators and gerbils and stuff like that. 11 00:01:36.599 --> 00:01:40.680 Oh it's good, okay, So I remember you guys found yourself in 12 00:01:40.719 --> 00:01:46.680 like that weird little pocket during the last storm right where it was what was 13 00:01:46.719 --> 00:01:52.120 it power loss or what was it? There's a a what was it? 14 00:01:52.200 --> 00:01:57.519 You were just like there was just a handful of people in wake forest who 15 00:01:57.519 --> 00:02:00.480 got hit with something. I can't remember what. Maybe my buddy read down 16 00:02:00.480 --> 00:02:01.760 the street. His power is out and he's like a block away. But 17 00:02:01.799 --> 00:02:07.599 we're fine. Okay, well read needs to move. I feel that that's 18 00:02:07.639 --> 00:02:14.560 clear. Okay, well that's good because there's still a crap ton of people. 19 00:02:16.800 --> 00:02:22.639 Have they dropped the number? Here we go, fifty seven thousand customers 20 00:02:22.680 --> 00:02:35.520 in the triangle over in the triad. Obviously that number is less. I 21 00:02:35.560 --> 00:02:38.400 think it was just some It wasn't actually directly in there, although there is 22 00:02:38.479 --> 00:02:45.280 a I just there is a video of this tree that literally just decided it 23 00:02:45.360 --> 00:02:49.759 was going to take out this double wide, which is pretty much a right. 24 00:02:49.840 --> 00:02:53.080 So here we go. Yeah, so it's just a little less fifty 25 00:02:53.159 --> 00:03:00.439 one thousand outages. I don't need to pop up, thank you. I'm 26 00:03:00.479 --> 00:03:07.560 good. But that's kind of spread around. So yeah, some wicked storms 27 00:03:07.919 --> 00:03:14.599 moving through there. Didn't didn't crush the building, but almost this time. 28 00:03:14.680 --> 00:03:20.159 So you know, there's that, but hopefully everyone's okay. Sadly, I 29 00:03:20.240 --> 00:03:24.360 believe there was a woman who died. Yeah, pop back over to this. 30 00:03:24.800 --> 00:03:30.840 Yeah, one woman dead. More than fifty seven thousand customers still without 31 00:03:30.879 --> 00:03:37.240 power. All told, it was six figures the number of people lost power, 32 00:03:37.800 --> 00:03:47.199 and there was a thirty two car crash on I forty. Yeah, 33 00:03:47.240 --> 00:03:53.960 the woman who was killed, let's see here, Yeah, I thought it 34 00:03:53.039 --> 00:03:57.199 was in Durham. Okay, so it was in Durham. She was driving 35 00:03:57.199 --> 00:04:02.879 down Anderson Street and a tree fell on a car. So yeah, some 36 00:04:03.159 --> 00:04:09.319 pretty severe storms. We'll chat obviously with Ray stage it coming up. Counties 37 00:04:09.800 --> 00:04:14.759 dealing with flood issues, Edgecombe, Franklin, Johnston, nash Wake, Wilson, 38 00:04:16.639 --> 00:04:24.319 Cumberland, Franklin, Harnett, you name it. But pretty significant. 39 00:04:24.800 --> 00:04:28.600 Top speed of the winds eighty miles an hour. And somebody sent me a 40 00:04:28.600 --> 00:04:36.000 picture of the It was hailed, but it was not like the little balls. 41 00:04:38.040 --> 00:04:41.480 It was really weird. Oh okay r L has a picture of this 42 00:04:41.639 --> 00:04:51.480 too, so it's crazy stuff. Man. Yeah, it looks like I 43 00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:57.360 don't even know how to describe it. It looks like maybe the wind had 44 00:04:57.480 --> 00:05:05.319 locked some of the hail together. But sub significant outages and whatnot going on 45 00:05:05.600 --> 00:05:11.000 all around North Carolina. Yeah, here we go, thirty two cars involved 46 00:05:11.040 --> 00:05:19.240 in a crash westbound I forty exit two seventy four. Now, wh wouldn't 47 00:05:19.240 --> 00:05:27.279 you put a name in there? I know this is obviously in Durham. 48 00:05:27.399 --> 00:05:32.360 I don't know exactly what is two seventy four. That's Highway seven fifty one. 49 00:05:32.399 --> 00:05:39.040 Okay, that's what I thought, so, Yeah, let's see here, 50 00:05:39.079 --> 00:05:43.279 none of the drivers or passengers in eighteen or the thirty two vehicles involved 51 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:48.199 were seriously injured. But that's the latest update they have there. Just just 52 00:05:48.319 --> 00:05:55.759 craziness, man, So anybody anybody get anything real crazy around their parts? 53 00:05:55.800 --> 00:06:00.600 I know we got folks, you know, listening all over southern Virginia from 54 00:06:00.600 --> 00:06:05.879 the Triad to the Triangle, and we got some regulars down in Hickory, 55 00:06:06.439 --> 00:06:12.120 some folks down Charlotte Way almost all the way out to the coast. I 56 00:06:12.120 --> 00:06:15.839 know, we got some folks on Topsailed Beach. So you want to do 57 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:19.399 a little spy report, we'll have that eight eight, eight, nine, 58 00:06:19.560 --> 00:06:24.720 three four seven, eight seventy four. You want to be on the show. 59 00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:30.199 And boy oh boy, we got more cracking talk to get into. 60 00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:34.839 They didn't use the word kracking, but essentially it's the kracking. Remember the 61 00:06:34.920 --> 00:06:43.040 kracking. Remember the female attorney for Trump run around the election who kept talking 62 00:06:43.079 --> 00:06:49.279 about how they're gonna release the kracking or show the kracking or whatever it was. 63 00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:58.839 It was. It was going to be the irrefutable evidence that Shenanigans were 64 00:06:58.879 --> 00:07:12.279 afoot in the twenty twenty election, and arguably that individualized, clear, concise, 65 00:07:12.360 --> 00:07:15.959 and don't get me wrong, the media would probably ignore large parts of 66 00:07:15.000 --> 00:07:19.879 it as as they have done. That thing was supposed to take place and 67 00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:29.160 never really took place, and apparently now it's gonna be Monday, so we're 68 00:07:29.199 --> 00:07:32.240 gonna have to chat about that as well. We got dog news, aliens, 69 00:07:35.720 --> 00:07:42.720 international travelers, just just craziness. Sorry, I'm a little tired because, 70 00:07:42.879 --> 00:07:48.000 like literally without getting into all of it, you know, like everybody, 71 00:07:48.079 --> 00:07:55.959 like everybody else, you know, we are we got we gotta deal 72 00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.759 with the weather and how it impacts our ability to do a show, and 73 00:08:00.279 --> 00:08:05.079 that unfortunately required a little less sleep on my part, just trying to make 74 00:08:05.120 --> 00:08:09.560 sure our equipment worked. Ross. You didn't have anything that didn't work this 75 00:08:09.600 --> 00:08:13.000 morning though right now everything's fine, good, good, good, Okay, 76 00:08:13.199 --> 00:08:18.920 So people can call in and talk about krakens and stuff and we're we're rolling, 77 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:22.240 so I like to see it and what kind of man are you? 78 00:08:22.879 --> 00:08:26.279 Not? Not you? Ross? Well, you can answer when we do 79 00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:30.879 when we do this story. But that's an open ended question and it's a 80 00:08:31.000 --> 00:08:35.000 question that unfortunately, I think that researchers in this story we're gonna do, 81 00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:43.159 uh left one segment out which I thought a little weird. So yeah, 82 00:08:43.399 --> 00:08:46.600 gonna be one of those days. We're gonna bounce around our phone number eight 83 00:08:46.639 --> 00:08:50.159 eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Let's take a break, 84 00:08:50.240 --> 00:08:56.919 be right back. This is five w PTI in the Triad and one oh 85 00:08:56.000 --> 00:09:09.639 six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, let's let's roll into 86 00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:18.559 just a couple of things on this fine morn. Just think gonna be a 87 00:09:18.600 --> 00:09:22.840 pain in my butt. No, it actually worked, okay, all right, 88 00:09:24.840 --> 00:09:31.480 Uh, that wasn't weather related. That was it decided to update five 89 00:09:31.519 --> 00:09:35.879 minutes after I logged into something well more than five minutes. But rock and 90 00:09:37.039 --> 00:09:41.639 roll, all right, Oh yeah, furry news too, So I want 91 00:09:41.759 --> 00:09:45.120 to update you on all that fun. All right, let me get to 92 00:09:45.200 --> 00:09:50.879 this again. Our phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven 93 00:09:50.000 --> 00:09:58.240 four. So uh. Donald Trump has announced on he did this on truth 94 00:09:58.559 --> 00:10:11.039 social not Twitter x whatever, has announced a Monday press conference with him, 95 00:10:11.120 --> 00:10:20.679 during which he said he will offer irrefutable proof verifying that there was cheating in 96 00:10:20.720 --> 00:10:24.600 the Georgia election. I just want I want to make sure that I am 97 00:10:24.799 --> 00:10:33.320 using the exact language he's using, right, because that's a wide that's a 98 00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:39.840 wide description right. You know, arguably, you could allow me to be 99 00:10:39.919 --> 00:10:43.840 devil's advocate if you want to call and scream at me whatever. You're just 100 00:10:43.840 --> 00:10:46.440 filling time for me on a Wednesday, sir Ross, and I don't have 101 00:10:46.480 --> 00:10:54.679 to come up with stuff, So please understand and let's have a conversation about 102 00:10:54.720 --> 00:11:01.600 this. When you at the time of the election would see the press conferences 103 00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:07.360 by the lawyers, they kept using the word cracking, which I thought was 104 00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.639 dumb as hell. Right, we're going to release the crack and I can't 105 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.600 remember the exact way it was first introduced, but then it got used a 106 00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:20.840 bunch of times. And the reality is, I don't know that the cracking 107 00:11:20.919 --> 00:11:28.320 emerged. There's going to be natural ignoring and pushback by media with anything that 108 00:11:28.480 --> 00:11:33.960 is brought up. But I gotta tell you I digested everything that they fed 109 00:11:33.960 --> 00:11:43.639 me. So in the state of Georgia, which is what we're talking about, 110 00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:50.559 Donald Trump by saying he will offer irrefutable proof verifying there was cheating in 111 00:11:50.600 --> 00:11:58.240 the Georgia election, arguably could run the gamut from some of the large scale 112 00:11:58.399 --> 00:12:05.480 stuff that has been a lag and frankly, there's a lot of unanswered questions 113 00:12:05.799 --> 00:12:09.000 with some of these groups that were paid a crap ton of money. The 114 00:12:09.039 --> 00:12:15.120 one in Michigan, I think is there's a little more detail there than Georgia, 115 00:12:15.480 --> 00:12:24.120 where you had these these giant requests of absentee ballots, you had some 116 00:12:24.200 --> 00:12:28.240 signature match that took place very very quickly or not at all. And so 117 00:12:28.360 --> 00:12:31.960 I don't know whether they're going to offer in Georgia. But if you say 118 00:12:31.000 --> 00:12:39.720 irrefutable proof, do you mean in numbers that would account for the difference in 119 00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:43.960 the election tally? Right? Like? Are are you going to offer proof 120 00:12:45.039 --> 00:12:48.600 that speaks to what was the what? What did he lose by? In 121 00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:52.480 Georgia? It was like what fifty fifty thousand or something? So are you 122 00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.879 are are you going to are you are you going to proffer something that literally 123 00:12:56.960 --> 00:13:03.279 closes that gap if if found to be one hundred percent accurate or is it 124 00:13:03.840 --> 00:13:11.399 smaller anecdotal stuff like some of the stuff that we've heard where you had several 125 00:13:11.440 --> 00:13:20.480 thousand people that really appear to have voted in two states but arguably wouldn't be 126 00:13:20.600 --> 00:13:26.840 enough to overcome the amount of votes that he lost by. So I don't 127 00:13:26.879 --> 00:13:37.159 know exactly what it is, but let me read specifically what was posted Trump 128 00:13:37.240 --> 00:13:43.159 states, quote, a large, complex, detailed, but irrefutable report on 129 00:13:43.200 --> 00:13:48.159 the presidential election fraud which took place in Georgia is almost complete and will be 130 00:13:48.240 --> 00:13:56.519 presented by me at a major news conference at eleven am Monday in I guess 131 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:01.279 it is golf club in New Jersey there in Bedminster. He said, based 132 00:14:01.279 --> 00:14:05.720 on the results of this quote conclusive, and he put that in all caps 133 00:14:05.639 --> 00:14:11.879 report, all charges should be dropped against me and others. There will be 134 00:14:11.039 --> 00:14:18.600 complete exoneration. They never went after those that rigged the election. They only 135 00:14:18.639 --> 00:14:26.559 went after those that fought to find the riggers. So, you know, 136 00:14:26.600 --> 00:14:33.279 it sounds like more than here's some anecdotal, a few instances kind of thing. 137 00:14:33.720 --> 00:14:37.000 But I don't know. I mean, we got we got the rest 138 00:14:37.000 --> 00:14:39.960 of this week. We got to go through the weekend, and then Monday 139 00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:41.720 we'll do the show, and obviously it'll be after the show by a couple 140 00:14:41.759 --> 00:14:48.799 of hours, but we'll see. I don't here's a thing. I don't 141 00:14:48.879 --> 00:14:54.039 know that that will stop the process. But if he's got that kind of 142 00:14:54.039 --> 00:15:01.440 stuff, I have to assume that it's helpful from a from a judicial standpoint. 143 00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:09.279 Take that into court with you. This is interesting. A former White 144 00:15:09.279 --> 00:15:16.360 House lawyer is warning Trump take this for what it's worth to not hold the 145 00:15:16.679 --> 00:15:24.159 press conference. Here we go, Trump are a White House lawyer warned that 146 00:15:24.279 --> 00:15:31.279 former former president Trump should not hold a press conference Monday detailing what he claims 147 00:15:31.320 --> 00:15:35.240 are irrefutable examples of election fraud because it could land him in hot water. 148 00:15:37.559 --> 00:15:43.360 What's so the lawyers? Oh, no, Ross, the lawyer's name is 149 00:15:43.399 --> 00:15:52.000 thy Cobb. I heard this guy's a jerk? Or actually, did you 150 00:15:52.000 --> 00:15:56.320 ever see the press conference where they tried to like unravel the whole thy Cobb 151 00:15:56.399 --> 00:16:00.360 as an a whole thing. No, but I've heard rumors, like you 152 00:16:00.679 --> 00:16:03.000 know, you've heard stuff. You've heard stories that he was just an absolute 153 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:07.000 jerk. Right. I saw something where they were like they did this? 154 00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:14.840 Who did it? Not not Ken Burns but one of the guys who worked 155 00:16:14.879 --> 00:16:22.440 with Ken Burns on the Baseball series documentary who said that a lot of the 156 00:16:22.519 --> 00:16:30.039 Thye Cobb is an ahole stuff was about a continuation of a media narrative. 157 00:16:30.519 --> 00:16:33.879 I don't know whether that's true because some of the stuff, like he doesn't 158 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:37.759 deny he never denied saying was pretty awful. But still so, I think 159 00:16:37.759 --> 00:16:41.519 there is a different Thy Cob but he's telling him, nah, save it 160 00:16:41.559 --> 00:16:44.879 for court. So what do you think? Should he do the presser? 161 00:16:45.720 --> 00:16:51.360 Or do you save it for court? One oh six one FM Talk and 162 00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:56.919 nine four five w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This 163 00:16:56.159 --> 00:17:03.960 is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. Ah. Yes, oh it's 164 00:17:03.000 --> 00:17:07.359 too early for this. I can't tell if you're sarcastic, sir? Do 165 00:17:07.440 --> 00:17:15.319 you honestly think that that's my argument? This email? So you're saying a 166 00:17:15.359 --> 00:17:19.799 little cheating is okay? Did I send ross? Would you? Would you 167 00:17:19.920 --> 00:17:23.960 check the record? Did I say that a little cheating is okay? Let 168 00:17:25.000 --> 00:17:30.880 me check you to n Oh, okay, all right, Nope, not 169 00:17:30.000 --> 00:17:33.079 what I said at all. I understand, by the way, from a 170 00:17:33.119 --> 00:17:41.319 strategy standpoint, where a lawyer would tell you to not just go out and 171 00:17:41.359 --> 00:17:45.079 hold a press conference right now. I don't know that I necessarily agree that, 172 00:17:45.079 --> 00:17:51.880 but I understand why a lawyer would tell you that. And when I 173 00:17:51.960 --> 00:17:59.519 point out that showing a handful of anecdotal things is different from something that arises 174 00:17:59.599 --> 00:18:03.480 to the n number that is the differential in the election, are two very 175 00:18:03.559 --> 00:18:10.519 different cases. Explain to me why you don't think that those are different. 176 00:18:11.759 --> 00:18:17.960 Why you don't think one is more impactful than the other. So anyway is 177 00:18:17.960 --> 00:18:19.000 that? You know what? Frankly, this is why I don't want to 178 00:18:19.039 --> 00:18:23.680 talk about this stuff. Oh I know, it's my job, right kind 179 00:18:23.720 --> 00:18:30.759 of kind of like I'm providing a platform people want to call in and get 180 00:18:30.799 --> 00:18:37.519 into this great what do you think Trump's gonna have on Monday? But I 181 00:18:37.599 --> 00:18:45.839 you know, I saw something over the weekend and I think I think it's 182 00:18:45.839 --> 00:18:48.200 a good take. It could be I think it could be refined more. 183 00:18:48.279 --> 00:18:52.640 But the but the the brunt of it is, it doesn't matter whether you 184 00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:59.759 currently in your head are for Trump or Desantists or Christie in New Hampshire. 185 00:18:59.759 --> 00:19:07.359 I don't understand that. But whatever vivic or whoever it is, if you 186 00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:12.119 find yourself in opposition to the current powers that be in the administration, there 187 00:19:15.759 --> 00:19:22.279 the larger issue, the bigger issue, the uniting issue is it ain't just 188 00:19:22.440 --> 00:19:30.920 about Trump. It is about an out of control double standard from a justice 189 00:19:30.039 --> 00:19:38.279 perspective. And then I go on Twitter and it's Dessantist people and Trump people 190 00:19:38.960 --> 00:19:45.400 and do sing and we hate you and all of it. And I understand 191 00:19:45.400 --> 00:19:52.279 that it's a primary it's It's not my first rodeo, but it's nasty, 192 00:19:52.400 --> 00:19:56.880 man, It's it's nasty on a level I don't know that I've seen. 193 00:19:56.920 --> 00:20:02.079 Have you ever seen a primary level of nastiness like that from the Republican perspective. 194 00:20:04.279 --> 00:20:07.319 Look, a lot of you have seen a lot more elections than me. 195 00:20:07.400 --> 00:20:14.240 I'm not calling you old, I'm just pointing out you gotta you know, 196 00:20:14.279 --> 00:20:18.720 you got a few more years perspective. And it's to the point, 197 00:20:18.799 --> 00:20:22.559 like I like to go to Twitter to get perspective on stuff, and part 198 00:20:22.559 --> 00:20:27.480 of perspective is taking everything with a grain of salt, but going in there 199 00:20:27.559 --> 00:20:32.119 and seeing the internal debates and the back and forth. And look, there's 200 00:20:32.200 --> 00:20:36.599 lots of people that do that. There's lots of people on the Trump side, 201 00:20:36.680 --> 00:20:44.240 De Santis side where it's not about literally murdering your primary opponent's supporters. 202 00:20:44.279 --> 00:20:49.640 But there's enough people that are in this blood feud where I just get so 203 00:20:49.759 --> 00:20:52.799 tired of it. You know what it reminds me of. This is going 204 00:20:52.880 --> 00:20:57.039 to irritate some of you, but I don't care whatever. It reminds me 205 00:20:57.279 --> 00:21:04.279 of Ron Paul back in the day, Like Ron Paul was a very interesting 206 00:21:04.400 --> 00:21:07.759 individual, and I think that there was a lot of stuff that Ron Paul 207 00:21:07.799 --> 00:21:14.319 would talk about. That if that, if people were able to divorce themselves 208 00:21:14.799 --> 00:21:18.440 from the fanaticism of some of the Ron Pauls, but not all of them, 209 00:21:18.920 --> 00:21:22.279 but some of them, you went, you know what, this guy's 210 00:21:22.359 --> 00:21:26.440 making a lot of sense. But every time I would bring it up because 211 00:21:26.680 --> 00:21:30.920 you know, Ron Paul made a debate or Ron Paul made some news, 212 00:21:30.559 --> 00:21:33.039 and then people were trying to figure out, Okay, well, what are 213 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:41.480 the other candidates think I would get these nasty emails and individual how are you 214 00:21:41.559 --> 00:21:47.920 not endorsing Ron Paul on the air right now? And I'm like, well, 215 00:21:47.960 --> 00:21:52.359 one, I don't endorse candidates, so there's that doesn't matter who it 216 00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:56.200 is. And two, I'm sorry, and I'm literally talking about who is 217 00:21:56.240 --> 00:22:03.240 obviously your candidate. Why don't you call in and explain to everybody why they 218 00:22:03.279 --> 00:22:07.039 need to see it from a Ron Paul perspective. But some of that was 219 00:22:07.160 --> 00:22:11.759 crazy town, man, and I'm seeing different iterations of that right now. 220 00:22:14.400 --> 00:22:21.319 So again, if Trump's going to hold a press conference on Monday, if 221 00:22:21.359 --> 00:22:30.400 he shows something that literally encompasses at least the amount of votes that he according 222 00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:34.680 to the official tally, lost by. That's going to be a lot more 223 00:22:34.880 --> 00:22:41.920 impactful than anecdotal stuff that still requires fleshing out what the total number is. 224 00:22:42.359 --> 00:22:48.319 So when he says conclusive, I feel like conclusive has to mean at least 225 00:22:48.440 --> 00:22:53.799 the number that he lost by according to the official tally. Now, if 226 00:22:53.799 --> 00:22:59.359 you think I'm wrong, call the show eight eight eight nine three four seven 227 00:22:59.440 --> 00:23:03.640 eight seven four, Because you know, one of the things that I try 228 00:23:03.640 --> 00:23:10.640 to do is live in real vill Man, and that real vial real vial, 229 00:23:10.920 --> 00:23:18.200 which I can't pronounce encompasses a much harder uphill slog to get that information 230 00:23:18.240 --> 00:23:22.119 out there, regardless of whether you're holding a press conference, because it's not 231 00:23:22.160 --> 00:23:27.160 about convincing people that are convinced that Trump is right already. You have to 232 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:36.920 convince the mushy middle or whatever the language is, or at least you have 233 00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:48.240 to intrigue him enough to gather into those discussions, that line of thought, 234 00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:55.880 that questioning, and perhaps be influential in their voting. That's real. That's 235 00:23:55.920 --> 00:24:00.799 the reality of things, all right, Lisa, what's up, Hi, 236 00:24:02.079 --> 00:24:07.240 Katie, good morning. So I just wanted to share something that I one 237 00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:12.000 of my co workers, a couple of wants to go share the story with 238 00:24:12.079 --> 00:24:17.039 me. She went, this is a young black lady, extremely conservative, 239 00:24:17.440 --> 00:24:21.200 hard working. I know because I worked with her. She told me that 240 00:24:21.279 --> 00:24:23.519 on her you know, when she was eighteen, she went to vote and 241 00:24:23.559 --> 00:24:27.240 she was told that she had already voted, and she tried to argue with 242 00:24:27.279 --> 00:24:30.920 them and she said, no, I'm sorry, that's in correct, I 243 00:24:30.920 --> 00:24:33.559 have not and she showed her I v and they said, well, I'm 244 00:24:33.559 --> 00:24:37.359 sorry, according to our restude, you've already voted. The same thing. 245 00:24:37.559 --> 00:24:41.000 When she was twenty two, she went to vote, the same thing happened, 246 00:24:41.400 --> 00:24:44.160 and she told me, she said, I didn't know what to do, 247 00:24:44.279 --> 00:24:47.240 she said, so I just walked away. So, you know, 248 00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:51.440 because this was, you know, too late to really go back and do 249 00:24:51.519 --> 00:24:55.599 anything. But this was in South Carolina, and so I know that there 250 00:24:55.680 --> 00:25:03.599 is some underlying starting to tell there, you know, is you know standing 251 00:25:03.920 --> 00:25:07.680 And like you said, it is hard to prove, but it's very disheartened. 252 00:25:07.720 --> 00:25:11.319 But I just wanted to share that story because my heart broke for her 253 00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:17.079 because she was very much conservative and yet she could not get her votes out 254 00:25:17.119 --> 00:25:21.720 there. Well and yeah, South, yeah, I don't know South Carolina's 255 00:25:21.799 --> 00:25:23.240 rule. In North Carolina, what you would do is you'd fight, you 256 00:25:23.240 --> 00:25:27.599 would do a provisional ballot, you would challenge that that's the thing that you 257 00:25:27.640 --> 00:25:32.559 can do. But I don't disagree with you, like in like in Arizona, 258 00:25:32.599 --> 00:25:41.160 where you had these these gigantic lines and problems that seem to be core 259 00:25:41.279 --> 00:25:45.039 focused in red voting precincts. Right, that's the kind of stuff that makes 260 00:25:45.039 --> 00:25:49.839 your skin crawl right there, exactly. Yeah, yeah, I'm look, 261 00:25:49.880 --> 00:25:53.400 I'm gonna be I will, I will absolutely be tuned in on Monday. 262 00:25:53.480 --> 00:25:59.559 I can't wait to hear what it is Donald Trump is going to provide. 263 00:26:00.160 --> 00:26:03.799 I am just sitting here and trying to let people know that it's an uphill 264 00:26:03.880 --> 00:26:11.400 battle. Everything's an uphill battle because the larger issue even now transcends Trump. 265 00:26:11.480 --> 00:26:14.599 Trump is just the object, right, He's just the whipping boy here, 266 00:26:15.400 --> 00:26:19.640 but that it is a much larger issue. So well, it's scary because 267 00:26:19.839 --> 00:26:23.000 I mean, we uh, I'm sorry, I just lost my train of 268 00:26:23.000 --> 00:26:26.720 fallot. But oh, what I was going to say was the Democrats though, 269 00:26:27.480 --> 00:26:33.160 the cheating, So how do we win anything without also cheating? And 270 00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.960 that that I don't want either, So it just makes me ma, I 271 00:26:38.000 --> 00:26:42.160 just call it a viscue. No. I look, that's and and like 272 00:26:42.240 --> 00:26:47.319 I get it, the amount of frustration that I feel watching all of this 273 00:26:47.440 --> 00:26:52.240 and then watching especially on the flip side, with what's going on with the 274 00:26:52.599 --> 00:26:56.720 you know, the whole Biden family and all the money, and and then 275 00:26:56.759 --> 00:27:00.160 I see the heavy lift that is done by members of the media. It's 276 00:27:00.720 --> 00:27:07.599 it's wildly frustrating. Yeah, so I'm with you there, all right, 277 00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.000 Well, thank you very much for the coul So I appreciate it. All 278 00:27:11.119 --> 00:27:14.759 right, Look, at least it doesn't hate me. Some of you hate 279 00:27:14.799 --> 00:27:21.079 me in my email right now. Well, maybe instead of just running your 280 00:27:21.079 --> 00:27:30.160 mouth, you should be endorsing people. Nope about no, and then this 281 00:27:30.200 --> 00:27:36.440 one, maybe you should be endorsing Haze for water. No, I'm not. 282 00:27:37.119 --> 00:27:40.759 He's already like soil and water, aren't you. Like you got voted 283 00:27:40.799 --> 00:27:45.839 in like three different races. So he's doing a fine job. Okay, 284 00:27:45.920 --> 00:27:48.839 I mean some people would define it as a landslide, but you can phrase 285 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:52.960 it however you want. I mean, it was completely rigged, was taken 286 00:27:52.960 --> 00:27:55.200 from me. It's not fair. Okay, are you gonna hold a press 287 00:27:55.200 --> 00:27:56.440 conference? Do you want a press conference? You know I would, But 288 00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.119 I'm busy fighting for the common man. Okay, okay, all right and 289 00:28:00.279 --> 00:28:07.079 against communism right correct in your reply during our last little vacation time there. 290 00:28:07.079 --> 00:28:08.920 So you know, there's talkers and there's doers, and I'm I'm not gonna 291 00:28:08.920 --> 00:28:11.839 sit in front of a microphone and talk. This not what I do. 292 00:28:11.400 --> 00:28:15.480 No, it is which it literally is what you good point? Yeah, 293 00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:21.240 I mean pays the bills?

Alwis will bring 302 00:29:04.960 --> 00:29:10.160 out a gun and start shoot so for them to sit for forward. President 303 00:29:10.200 --> 00:29:14.759 next test says hey, you know these things happened, And people say, 304 00:29:14.839 --> 00:29:18.720 well, yeah, but it's not enough to affect the election. Do we 305 00:29:18.960 --> 00:29:26.960 remember what happened in two thousand when people were trying to say about the jet 306 00:29:26.599 --> 00:29:32.240 calves, all these calves, and people like, well, yeah, yet 307 00:29:32.279 --> 00:29:37.039 a chat okay, the Supreme Court look they that stuff and said no, 308 00:29:37.839 --> 00:29:40.720 they throw it out. They say no, it's you're not going to do 309 00:29:40.880 --> 00:29:44.599 this when it comes to the whole twenty twenty. Because I'm the one of 310 00:29:44.599 --> 00:29:48.200 those people who believe, yes, things were rig things was done. The 311 00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.480 checks and violence. People say, well, it went for systems and went 312 00:29:52.519 --> 00:29:56.400 through the court system. They didn't. They will step into the courtrooms and 313 00:29:56.480 --> 00:29:59.279 they would just throw it out and yes, some of them and out will 314 00:29:59.279 --> 00:30:03.359 be honest, yes on what Trump judges because people are scared because they saw 315 00:30:03.400 --> 00:30:11.400 America burn for a whole for a full year almost. So when it comes 316 00:30:11.440 --> 00:30:17.160 to it, did I see anything first on here with you covered it? 317 00:30:17.440 --> 00:30:21.119 The guy through that sleeps. The guy may try to make the deal with 318 00:30:21.279 --> 00:30:26.000 our f running for governor, Josh Stein this sweveyself. They try to do 319 00:30:26.160 --> 00:30:30.720 a back deal and a judge that then a told he'll no, you can't 320 00:30:30.799 --> 00:30:37.480 do that. You can't change our election laws. So that's the stuff. 321 00:30:37.559 --> 00:30:42.599 People are openly saying, Hey, this hypen if these laws change, and 322 00:30:42.799 --> 00:30:47.880 that's cheating if if somebody come and come and take it, because case see, 323 00:30:48.160 --> 00:30:49.079 you're hard workers. You know, we don't know if people say, 324 00:30:49.119 --> 00:30:52.759 well not yet you are you do? You go? You do research and 325 00:30:52.799 --> 00:30:56.200 stuff you in Not really I make build it up, but I appreciate it. 326 00:30:56.359 --> 00:31:00.799 Yeah. But if somebody comes kake your paychecks and say, you know 327 00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:04.119 what, I know, I promised you two hundred and fifty thousand a year, 328 00:31:04.319 --> 00:31:08.640 but you know what ended up believe a couple paychecks. I'm gonna give 329 00:31:08.680 --> 00:31:14.279 you just I'm gonna make it so you only making fifty thousand dollars a year, 330 00:31:15.160 --> 00:31:21.440 snap, and you would go being ship the way. No laws they 331 00:31:21.599 --> 00:31:25.559 did. They did them on the fly. People who changed the lecture laws 332 00:31:25.680 --> 00:31:33.599 didn't ever right to change them because in the old state constitutions party but and 333 00:31:33.759 --> 00:31:37.000 now being there, it happened to Donald Trump, Democrats and a lot of 334 00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.000 people like world you know, it's not enough, it's not enough. Well, 335 00:31:41.200 --> 00:31:45.759 if somebody would have said putin helped Donald Trump out, but it wouldn't 336 00:31:45.759 --> 00:31:49.519 really not enough. What group what they said for from the time well it 337 00:31:49.720 --> 00:31:56.359 was you know, it would have been a snot enough cot Grat's hearing Vladimir 338 00:31:56.480 --> 00:32:00.319 Putin helped Donald Trump out, but it really wasn't enough. They wouldn't move 339 00:32:00.559 --> 00:32:07.000 their minds and they still believe. I mean, right, Jamal, at 340 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:10.400 your your phone's cutting out here a little, let me half agree with you, 341 00:32:12.119 --> 00:32:14.680 because I think people are getting the wrong idea of where I'm at. 342 00:32:15.440 --> 00:32:20.640 What I'm saying is I am just trying to handicap this through which the filter 343 00:32:20.920 --> 00:32:27.480 of the information will be processed. Right. So yeah, right right, 344 00:32:27.599 --> 00:32:30.720 So yeah, that's that's what I'm trying to do. The gang Busters would 345 00:32:30.720 --> 00:32:34.720 be if he comes out, here's a list, and the list far exceeds 346 00:32:34.799 --> 00:32:38.680 whatever he lost by in Georgia and uh and their specifics there. It's immediately 347 00:32:38.839 --> 00:32:44.519 checkable, but it doesn't mean that if he comes and shows a pattern, 348 00:32:45.039 --> 00:32:51.200 and that pattern is you know, based on a per capita, right, 349 00:32:51.519 --> 00:32:54.359 So if he says, look here, just in this county where X y 350 00:32:54.519 --> 00:32:59.880 Z organization, it's one of twenty counties where they did stuff. We found 351 00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:04.759 that there was a fraud rate of uh, you know this many votes per 352 00:33:04.920 --> 00:33:12.480 thousand voters. It's it's not that that's not impactful, but ultimately you still 353 00:33:12.599 --> 00:33:19.400 have that uphill climb through the gatekeepers of information. And so I'm just I'm 354 00:33:19.440 --> 00:33:23.720 just explaining how difficult it's going to be, and and oh I'm getting brated, 355 00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:30.799 but that's fine. Whatever. It's Wednesday. So sol agreed. And 356 00:33:30.920 --> 00:33:35.240 like I always toach a casing, people, shouldn't I just altogether get managed 357 00:33:35.240 --> 00:33:38.480 because you won't host governor debates here, you won't participate, you won't. 358 00:33:38.680 --> 00:33:43.240 You are a journalists, one of the good journalists here in North Carolina, 359 00:33:43.480 --> 00:33:46.480 better than W r Ill. What do you mean I wouldn't hold goobernatorial? 360 00:33:46.599 --> 00:33:50.240 No, no, no, no, you have to understand that every time 361 00:33:50.279 --> 00:33:53.160 we've attempted to get Roy Cooper to even comment to us, they won't answer 362 00:33:53.279 --> 00:33:59.279 us. So well, if Josh market Josh debate, let me just say 363 00:33:59.319 --> 00:34:01.799 this right now, as Stein and Mark Robinson want me to host a debate 364 00:34:01.920 --> 00:34:07.599 with them, or if they're the last two or Mark Walker or whoever it 365 00:34:07.759 --> 00:34:12.960 is, I'd be happy too, but they ain't gonna let me. And 366 00:34:14.039 --> 00:34:17.599 I can't even get half that crew to call me back. So but that's 367 00:34:17.599 --> 00:34:22.280 a different animal, entirely, entirely, So all right, I got a 368 00:34:22.360 --> 00:34:25.679 rogue on all Thanks for the call there, Okay, we'll go we'll have 369 00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:30.880 we'll go all right, all right, we'll get some more calls on there, 370 00:34:32.840 --> 00:34:35.760 because you know, we got two more hours to fill. Well, 371 00:34:35.880 --> 00:34:38.519 speaking of Mark Robinson, we'll chat with him coming up eight oh five, 372 00:34:38.760 --> 00:34:44.280 so stick around for that. And what kind of man are you? You 373 00:34:44.360 --> 00:34:49.320 know, for the men listening? Apparently there's just three categories we'll find out. 374 00:35:12.760 --> 00:35:15.880 All right, Good morning everybody, and welcome. It is our number 375 00:35:15.920 --> 00:35:21.320 two seven h seven here on the k c O Day radio program. So 376 00:35:21.960 --> 00:35:28.920 we were chatting about an announcement of a Monday press conference looks like eleven o'clock, 377 00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:34.159 although there's one story says evening, but everything else says eleven. So 378 00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:42.199 I think it's eleven unless I totally missed a change. But a Monday announcement 379 00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:52.239 by Trump press conference, during which he says he will provide receipts irrefutable proof, 380 00:35:52.800 --> 00:36:00.719 specifically, large, complex, detailed but irrefutable report on the presidential election 381 00:36:00.840 --> 00:36:07.559 fraud which took place in Georgia. So I am I am very interesting interested 382 00:36:07.599 --> 00:36:10.599 to see what that is. But also we're having a conversation about, all 383 00:36:10.679 --> 00:36:16.039 right, well, what happens depending on what it is, because there's all 384 00:36:16.159 --> 00:36:21.719 of the stuff that that he has to battle. That's gonna be the way 385 00:36:21.760 --> 00:36:27.599 the media chooses to cover it. If in covering is a strong word, 386 00:36:27.679 --> 00:36:31.199 I think for what some of the media will do, some will ignore it, 387 00:36:31.639 --> 00:36:37.159 and I think there's some regardless of what it is, will try to 388 00:36:37.639 --> 00:36:42.280 try to spin it. So you better have some punch, That's all I'm 389 00:36:42.400 --> 00:36:49.800 saying. And boy oh boy, going to be a very interesting weekend leading 390 00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:52.320 into it. And by the way, that's the way to do it, 391 00:36:52.480 --> 00:36:54.320 if you're going to do it ahead of it. I know there's lawyers saying, 392 00:36:54.360 --> 00:37:00.920 don't do this right now, do it in court. I'm not a 393 00:37:00.079 --> 00:37:04.119 lawyer. I don't know if that's an affirmative defense. I guess maybe it 394 00:37:04.159 --> 00:37:07.760 would be. It's pretty crazy. Did you read this? All? Right? 395 00:37:07.880 --> 00:37:15.639 So I posted a few little snippets, but they outline a crap ton 396 00:37:15.760 --> 00:37:20.400 of stuff as part of the continued conspiracy, right, because this is a 397 00:37:20.599 --> 00:37:25.960 Rico style case that they're trying to make. So things that are not necessarily 398 00:37:27.199 --> 00:37:35.480 illegal or inherently wrong are then parts of the continued conspiracy. So you have 399 00:37:35.760 --> 00:37:40.199 things literally listed like Trump sent a tweet telling people to watch the O, 400 00:37:40.559 --> 00:37:46.800 A N N or whatever that the Fox news style network is. This was 401 00:37:46.960 --> 00:37:50.960 part of the continued conspiracy, and I'm like, wait, wait he sent 402 00:37:51.000 --> 00:37:59.679 a tweet telling people to watch a TV what that's crazy? Mark Meadows texted 403 00:37:59.760 --> 00:38:04.360 of friend or somebody he knows in Pennsylvania asking for a guy's number. This 404 00:38:04.639 --> 00:38:07.440 was part of the continued conspiracy, which is how you write these things. 405 00:38:07.519 --> 00:38:13.800 But when you read it, you're like, oh my gosh, and then 406 00:38:13.840 --> 00:38:15.119 you start in your head going a little bit of what about it is? 407 00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:21.400 And you're like, man, wouldn't it be great if all of the different 408 00:38:21.480 --> 00:38:24.920 aspects of all of the Biden stuff was laid out in a document like that 409 00:38:25.119 --> 00:38:30.639 that actually had some teeth, because there's a whole lot of craziness. Man, 410 00:38:30.760 --> 00:38:32.480 all right, let me grab a one more call. Dennis was holding 411 00:38:32.559 --> 00:38:36.920 during the break, Dennis, what's up? Hey? You got all casey? 412 00:38:37.480 --> 00:38:39.760 Hey, just real quick. I don't want to debate with you about 413 00:38:39.800 --> 00:38:46.159 your stance, but you're right with COVID. The depth that we have to 414 00:38:46.239 --> 00:38:54.840 the Chinese before you craz the fighting money, it's all it's groundworkplate for what's 415 00:38:54.880 --> 00:38:59.719 coming, and pressed T is fighting for all of us the middle of that, 416 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:04.639 and that's what he's doing. But state he better have self. That's 417 00:39:04.719 --> 00:39:08.360 just my bloy because he had set residents in the past that just coming out 418 00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:14.039 and just just gardening stuff out of his mouth that doesn't make any says. 419 00:39:14.639 --> 00:39:17.800 I hope he's got something. That's my bloy because he's been buried under thirty 420 00:39:17.880 --> 00:39:22.639 quoted concrete with rebots. He's got an up battle from all there's no doubt 421 00:39:22.679 --> 00:39:27.440 about that. Yeah, yeah, and and and frankly, I don't know 422 00:39:27.480 --> 00:39:31.400 how anyone can deny that Trump has a tougher put especially from getting the word 423 00:39:31.440 --> 00:39:37.559 out than the Biden administration or frankly any Democrat in Congress for that matter. 424 00:39:39.119 --> 00:39:45.159 That's reality. Man. The Rico acted, I can't believe that Georgia has 425 00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:51.400 done this, But Georgia has different to the federal government does as far as 426 00:39:51.519 --> 00:39:55.079 Rico standards go. Well, Rica, yeah, not that you're wrong, 427 00:39:55.320 --> 00:40:00.360 but it would be more accurate to say Rico's style, right, because what 428 00:40:00.480 --> 00:40:07.360 you're getting is you're getting the Georgia version of this of a conspiracy. But 429 00:40:07.679 --> 00:40:14.440 but but but again it's while it's not technically accurate, uh, the way 430 00:40:14.480 --> 00:40:16.760 that some people are phrasing it, the spirit of it is spot on. 431 00:40:17.000 --> 00:40:21.039 I mean, that's what they're doing, and then they use that as a 432 00:40:21.119 --> 00:40:23.440 deflection to not have to explain. Okay, wait a sex. So he 433 00:40:23.559 --> 00:40:32.840 told people to watch TV what and especially with the hint and the Fox abiliate, 434 00:40:32.960 --> 00:40:38.559 I guess just something that progress in there that they start covering the prestige 435 00:40:38.559 --> 00:40:45.000 of debate. Now they're going to only allow all these that works to progress 436 00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:50.360 the broadcast three minutes of like saying without another talk show, they're only going 437 00:40:50.400 --> 00:40:53.079 to be allowed to use three minutes. Yeah, well, and and and 438 00:40:53.280 --> 00:40:59.239 and actually I'm I am very aware of what you're talking about. And and 439 00:40:59.440 --> 00:41:01.400 for people to know this, let me explain it, because this is a 440 00:41:01.440 --> 00:41:08.639 good point you bring up. So Fox put a memo out Fox Television Network 441 00:41:08.800 --> 00:41:15.119 and basically told all other media outlets that fair use or news use is limited 442 00:41:15.159 --> 00:41:19.920 to three minutes and it's only for a period of time after which they can't 443 00:41:20.039 --> 00:41:22.840 use any of the cuts from it. I don't know, as somebody who 444 00:41:23.800 --> 00:41:27.559 is one of the people that they're speaking to, I mean that's directed to 445 00:41:27.679 --> 00:41:32.880 me as well as another media outlet. They can screw themselves, because I 446 00:41:34.000 --> 00:41:37.400 don't know how in any way, shape or form that holds up legally. 447 00:41:39.440 --> 00:41:46.760 Besides watching its TV writes with all you know, all football, football springing 448 00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:51.360 down. You know, it's kind of like that you're gonna happen to see 449 00:41:51.480 --> 00:41:55.239 us, to listen to you people, to sometimes get out there a little 450 00:41:55.280 --> 00:42:02.480 bit. I like you because I like listening to you. And it's not 451 00:42:02.639 --> 00:42:13.719 so but enough there is all right, Well, thanks for the call there, 452 00:42:13.760 --> 00:42:16.440 Dennis, to appreciate it. Yeah, that whole Fox memo was straight. 453 00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:21.360 Now they're saying that people are misinterpreting it, and it was about a 454 00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:29.320 couple of specific usages, but utilizing presidential candidates and audio from them while crediting 455 00:42:29.400 --> 00:42:34.480 where it's from understandably. So I don't know how you can just rearrange that. 456 00:42:36.920 --> 00:42:40.880 That's just I mean, there's legal precedent on and there's actually there's longtime 457 00:42:42.000 --> 00:42:47.159 legal precedent, and there is much more recent legal precedent thanks to one of 458 00:42:47.280 --> 00:42:53.960 the most obnoxious people in all of social media, Ethan Klein. What is 459 00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:57.880 his what is he? What is his podcast? H three H three or 460 00:42:57.920 --> 00:43:00.840 something, which I don't even understand what that is. But I mean this 461 00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:06.840 basically, this was a much more updated look into fair use. There's there's 462 00:43:06.920 --> 00:43:10.199 fair use, and then there's fair use from a news perspective, and they 463 00:43:10.239 --> 00:43:14.239 didn't mince words on this stuff, So I don't know how Fox is going 464 00:43:14.280 --> 00:43:19.159 to enforce that. The only thing I could think of in my mind is 465 00:43:19.320 --> 00:43:23.599 maybe they're wanting to get royalties from people using it for campaign commercials. But 466 00:43:23.679 --> 00:43:29.920 they didn't come right out and say that everything's a mess, all right. 467 00:43:30.039 --> 00:43:37.239 Seven fourteen, case O Day Radio program. Apparently the Rock and Roll is 468 00:43:37.400 --> 00:43:42.239 ruined. As an interesting article, we'll get to and Chick fil A for 469 00:43:42.360 --> 00:43:51.440 the first time in nine years, says they will release a new sandwich and 470 00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:57.199 apparently everyone's super excited. But you have to like pimento. I guess, 471 00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:00.800 I guess maybe you could ask for no pimento. So we will have to 472 00:44:00.840 --> 00:44:04.719 get into that because you remember the insanity that was what was it Popeyes with 473 00:44:04.800 --> 00:44:08.639 their chicken sandwich, Like people were going to Popeyes and they didn't have it, 474 00:44:08.840 --> 00:44:14.360 and like like people were getting violent over this. I don't know if 475 00:44:14.400 --> 00:44:16.960 that's going to be the case with Chick fil A, but it's coming here 476 00:44:17.119 --> 00:44:22.000 in less than two weeks, so yeah, we'll chat about that much more 477 00:44:22.039 --> 00:44:30.320 coming up. Seven fifteen Hang on, Thank you, CAPTI in the Triad 478 00:44:30.519 --> 00:44:37.960 and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, welcome 479 00:44:37.000 --> 00:44:42.360 back, seven twenty one k c o D radio program. Quite a few 480 00:44:42.480 --> 00:44:46.599 weird stories in the stack today, so let's just delve into those coming up 481 00:44:46.639 --> 00:44:52.440 on the show. Reminder eight oh five, Lieutenant Governor joins us and we 482 00:44:52.559 --> 00:44:57.840 got a lot, We got lots to get into. Boy, the News 483 00:44:57.880 --> 00:45:02.320 and Observer is they they are. They're taking a little bit of the Roy 484 00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:07.400 Cooper page where it's just panic. Oh my gosh, they're not doing anything. 485 00:45:07.480 --> 00:45:10.079 The Republicans aren't doing anything, and we need all this stuff done and 486 00:45:10.119 --> 00:45:13.920 it has to be done tomorrow where everybody dies. I mean, it's just 487 00:45:14.679 --> 00:45:21.320 only in their case. Roy Cooper wants his Medicaid expansion. Never mind that 488 00:45:21.360 --> 00:45:24.880 if you actually look at the ending day to the budget cycle legislatures here in 489 00:45:24.960 --> 00:45:31.519 North Carolina going back even well before Republicans were in charge fall, having this 490 00:45:31.599 --> 00:45:36.159 done in the fall is not an unusual thing. But you know, you 491 00:45:36.239 --> 00:45:38.199 gotta you gotta get fundraise, you gotta you gotta have panic. The News 492 00:45:38.280 --> 00:45:46.679 and Observer just really really wants new African American monuments and they want to put 493 00:45:47.000 --> 00:45:52.199 right where the monuments that were torn down in violation. I would add of 494 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:58.039 the law here in North Carolina, not just you know, defacement of public 495 00:45:58.119 --> 00:46:04.719 property, but specifically the laws surrounding the removal of monument statues things like that, 496 00:46:05.719 --> 00:46:08.960 where Roy Cooper just went, oh, well, you know it's a 497 00:46:09.039 --> 00:46:13.760 safety issue, we just go we got to get rid of those, which 498 00:46:13.880 --> 00:46:16.119 is not how the law works. And then Republicans don't have any stones, 499 00:46:16.239 --> 00:46:21.679 so they don't do anything about it because they don't want to fight. They 500 00:46:21.760 --> 00:46:23.679 want to make the laws, but they don't want to enforce them. And 501 00:46:24.199 --> 00:46:29.800 Cooper and many other municipalities decided to work around is well, we can remove 502 00:46:29.880 --> 00:46:34.719 them when we want for safety issues. And it's like that's what we call 503 00:46:34.840 --> 00:46:40.760 a heckler's veto, and that's not how that works. He can't wait so 504 00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:45.480 you can go against whatever the law is as long as there's enough people willing 505 00:46:45.519 --> 00:46:49.039 to go out and break the law and vandalize stuff. That's not how that 506 00:46:49.159 --> 00:46:57.199 works. Well, meanwhile, there's a opinion piece talking about how Philberger needs 507 00:46:57.199 --> 00:47:00.039 to get his crap together and everyone needs to get their crap together, and 508 00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:04.880 they need to put up these African American monuments and wouldn't a great place be 509 00:47:05.000 --> 00:47:09.639 the very same areas of the old state Capitol. And how much money is 510 00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:15.840 is it three million or two and a half million in the twenty nineteen budget 511 00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:20.519 that was already approved, and I think they're looking at more. I think 512 00:47:20.559 --> 00:47:27.039 that's just the design phase of this. So I'm gonna I'm wanna talk to 513 00:47:27.119 --> 00:47:30.079 Mark Robinson about that, So that'll be one of the things that we touch 514 00:47:30.159 --> 00:47:35.880 on. All Right, you ready for an insane story. Although I'm gonna 515 00:47:35.920 --> 00:47:39.000 think I think this is weird, not necessarily for the reasons others probably think 516 00:47:39.079 --> 00:47:45.360 it's weird, but the video is crazy. And there's two stories here. 517 00:47:45.079 --> 00:47:52.440 I don't know which is one hundred percent true, because anytime somebody labels somebody 518 00:47:52.519 --> 00:47:58.400 else in Nazi, the ship has sailed necessarily on maybe getting to the bottom 519 00:47:58.440 --> 00:48:04.880 of it. But in the video, you see a couple furries at a 520 00:48:05.400 --> 00:48:10.280 quote fur meat, that's what it's called the Sunset Beach Bonfire fur Meat, 521 00:48:12.519 --> 00:48:17.480 which is in Huntington Beach, California, over the weekend. One of the 522 00:48:17.800 --> 00:48:22.760 they're wearing black I think they're they're wolves, So they're a pack of black 523 00:48:22.880 --> 00:48:29.320 wolves and they got into some sort of altercation with the dude. Now one 524 00:48:29.400 --> 00:48:32.639 of the stories is the dude was filming the group and had his phone very 525 00:48:32.679 --> 00:48:36.400 close to the face of one of the members. If you look at the 526 00:48:36.519 --> 00:48:42.000 video, the one wolf literally bops this dude. He's hold the bullhorn too, 527 00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:45.840 which I thought was odd because at first it makes it sound like they're 528 00:48:45.880 --> 00:48:51.400 just chilling on the beach and they're furry costume and this dude's over harassing them. 529 00:48:52.239 --> 00:48:57.400 However, I read another story where they quoted some people that were part 530 00:48:57.440 --> 00:49:01.840 of the fur Meat saying that this dude is quote a neo Nazi and wouldn't 531 00:49:01.880 --> 00:49:05.880 stop harassing them and had been asked to leave or something. So I don't 532 00:49:05.880 --> 00:49:08.320 know, take it for what it's worth. Still, he didn't physically make 533 00:49:08.440 --> 00:49:20.920 contact with them. Here's my thing, who in their right mind, I 534 00:49:21.000 --> 00:49:25.440 can't even Can you imagine right now putting on a furry costume and headed down 535 00:49:25.480 --> 00:49:30.320 to the beach with these temperatures. I feel like I'd passed out before I 536 00:49:30.400 --> 00:49:34.480 got to my chair. Oh man, they'd be absolutely miserable. Oh I 537 00:49:34.559 --> 00:49:39.639 can't even imagine. I Like, I get the Dave and Busters meet up 538 00:49:39.719 --> 00:49:45.679 that one of our listeners witnessed with a bunch of furries down there and carry 539 00:49:45.840 --> 00:49:47.639 or is it and carry your guard. I can't well the one down that 540 00:49:47.719 --> 00:49:52.039 a way, right, there's a c in there. I can't even imagine 541 00:49:52.079 --> 00:49:55.400 going to the beach in a full mascot outfit, essentially. I mean you 542 00:49:55.519 --> 00:49:59.960 have to be completely committed to the cause at that point, right yeah. 543 00:50:00.079 --> 00:50:02.760 Yeah, And let me be clear, if people want to go and dress 544 00:50:02.840 --> 00:50:07.079 I look, I'm gonna I'm gonna look, because that's not something you see 545 00:50:07.599 --> 00:50:09.840 for the most part. But if they're just doing their thing, eating at 546 00:50:09.880 --> 00:50:14.199 a table or sitting on the beach in their lounge chairs, hell, I 547 00:50:14.280 --> 00:50:19.559 would probably just assume it's a TikTok stunt anyway and not involved myself. But 548 00:50:19.679 --> 00:50:22.760 this guy decided he was gonna he was gonna film it. It's not an 549 00:50:22.880 --> 00:50:29.440 unnatural reaction. I'm sorry, And even for those of you, because I 550 00:50:29.559 --> 00:50:36.119 know we have a few listeners that are down with this, and you have 551 00:50:36.320 --> 00:50:39.719 to admit that if you walked onto a beach and you see people dressed as 552 00:50:40.239 --> 00:50:47.360 wolves and it's summer, you're not just gonna like, there's no way you 553 00:50:47.480 --> 00:50:52.000 can just put that out of your mind immediately, Like you may not. 554 00:50:52.159 --> 00:50:55.119 Most people would probably not go over that close to anybody. They would from 555 00:50:55.159 --> 00:51:00.559 a distance, you know, maybe snap a photo, but it's not something 556 00:51:00.639 --> 00:51:05.639 you see every day. So because I'm sitting here and I'm reading this and 557 00:51:05.679 --> 00:51:07.360 people are like, duh, they're just you know, just nick norm They're 558 00:51:07.400 --> 00:51:12.039 just other people at the beach. No, I'm sorry, they're not in 559 00:51:12.119 --> 00:51:17.679 the same way that if you saw me at topsail wearing a speedo, that's 560 00:51:17.719 --> 00:51:24.079 gonna that will You'll never get that image out of your head. Ross you 561 00:51:24.119 --> 00:51:28.760 would agree, me and a speedo at topsail, that'll haunt you for the 562 00:51:28.840 --> 00:51:31.880 rest of your days. And I would know that going into this thing, 563 00:51:35.159 --> 00:51:40.159 this one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk PTI in 564 00:51:40.239 --> 00:51:46.440 the Triad. I'm gonna have to go back and see if I can find 565 00:51:46.480 --> 00:51:54.360 the I'm sure we played the audio the first time. The just stop oil 566 00:51:54.480 --> 00:51:59.000 or whatever idiots. You know, they're the ones who blocked traffic and glue 567 00:51:59.079 --> 00:52:07.719 themselves to stop and throw soup on paintings or whatever. They've not Apparently they've 568 00:52:07.760 --> 00:52:15.079 made the same mistake twice in their in their crusade. It's a dude. 569 00:52:15.119 --> 00:52:17.840 I will get to it, okay, because I gotta find the audio of 570 00:52:17.880 --> 00:52:22.519 the one dude being interviewed by the British lady because some of my favorite audio 571 00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:27.400 ever. All right, so that's your tease, it's coming your way. 572 00:52:27.599 --> 00:52:32.280 Okay. So anyway, Yes, he had some furries on a beach. 573 00:52:32.400 --> 00:52:37.280 Some dude was filming them and everything went sideways. The video is kind of 574 00:52:37.360 --> 00:53:08.559 amazing, by the way, all right, is that dude that's the dude 575 00:53:08.599 --> 00:53:13.000 that got whacked with it? Is that dude legit or is he just? 576 00:53:13.679 --> 00:53:17.440 Is he just for the video? What do you think? I mean, 577 00:53:17.559 --> 00:53:22.679 it's so well done. It's he's like, this is what furries due to 578 00:53:22.760 --> 00:53:24.320 you? Like if I if I could choose how I wanted the audio to 579 00:53:24.400 --> 00:53:27.239 sound, right, like how do you want this guy to sound on the 580 00:53:27.239 --> 00:53:30.840 beach for the show purposes? Because I'm selfish, I would I would check 581 00:53:30.920 --> 00:53:40.519 that box like that's perfect. Oh no o, Like that dude's not even 582 00:53:40.599 --> 00:53:44.000 over the top. I gotta play some one more time. Listen to the 583 00:53:44.079 --> 00:53:46.719 dude after he gets whack. I'm just look, if the video is the 584 00:53:46.840 --> 00:53:51.639 totality of the physical contact, Frankly, you're gonna probably have to arrest that 585 00:53:51.719 --> 00:53:59.000 wolf because I can't see that the dude make contact with them yeah, he's 586 00:53:59.280 --> 00:54:04.800 he's obviously in a pain in the butt, but but listen to him, 587 00:54:04.840 --> 00:54:36.800 man, hid dude, he's got to be playing that up. I will 588 00:54:36.880 --> 00:54:40.239 say that in our big directory of audio, some of the best audio we 589 00:54:40.360 --> 00:54:46.400 have is furry related, like because still one of my favorite pieces ever is 590 00:54:46.599 --> 00:54:52.119 the Big Furry convention in Chicago And there was like a chlorine leak in the 591 00:54:52.199 --> 00:54:57.480 hotel and so literally they had to like push all the furries out into the 592 00:54:57.559 --> 00:55:01.639 street on this busy road in Buffalo Grove, which is a Chicago suburb where 593 00:55:01.639 --> 00:55:07.239 the convention center is, and they have to Now they're like, oh, 594 00:55:07.320 --> 00:55:09.000 well, let's send the news down there, because people are driving around. 595 00:55:09.039 --> 00:55:13.679 They're like, there's a thousand furries in the road. And then they find 596 00:55:13.760 --> 00:55:16.519 the head of the furries and he sounds exactly like I assumed he would. 597 00:55:16.960 --> 00:55:20.800 We've been having a grand old time and we do not know what's going on 598 00:55:20.960 --> 00:55:25.199 at this time. We've been asked to leave the hotel for unknown reasons. 599 00:55:25.679 --> 00:55:30.360 But we have a lot of costumers out here with big fluffy costumes that'll keep 600 00:55:30.360 --> 00:55:34.360 people warm, so at this point we're not at all worried. It's great. 601 00:55:35.000 --> 00:55:37.920 Oh, it's amazing, But yeah, I remember, was he like 602 00:55:38.039 --> 00:55:44.480 fully dressed up in the interview. I don't think that dude was. I 603 00:55:44.559 --> 00:55:47.679 think he was not in his costume or maybe he didn't have his head on 604 00:55:47.880 --> 00:55:52.000 or something. I can't remember. No, he didn't sound muffled. When 605 00:55:52.039 --> 00:55:53.719 you go to the beach, dresses a furry do you get in the ocean? 606 00:55:53.840 --> 00:56:00.599 Like? Do you get the costume wet? I don't know rules surrounding. 607 00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:05.519 I just literally just apart from walking from the parking area to your chair, 608 00:56:06.280 --> 00:56:09.400 even if it's close in this, yeah, I feel like I would 609 00:56:09.480 --> 00:56:13.920 drop. Right, you're wearing that hot costume, right, it's it's so 610 00:56:14.119 --> 00:56:17.760 disgusting and miserable, and then you're rolling like a stupid you know, cooler 611 00:56:17.920 --> 00:56:22.280 in the sand. It's got to be exhausting. Well, plus it's full 612 00:56:22.320 --> 00:56:28.920 of raw meat because you're a wolf, so right, exture you got no 613 00:56:29.039 --> 00:56:32.360 ice for that? I don't know. I don't know the rules around it. 614 00:56:32.800 --> 00:56:36.559 I would be more impressed if they maintain the top of it. But 615 00:56:36.679 --> 00:56:40.079 then just had like the you know, like the bikini bottoms or something if 616 00:56:40.119 --> 00:56:44.320 they're women, or the you know, the board shorts on the dudes, 617 00:56:45.599 --> 00:56:47.880 right, so they're only half in character. They look like the reverse of 618 00:56:49.000 --> 00:56:55.000 the the half dude half half horse thing. So yeah, I mean, 619 00:56:57.440 --> 00:56:59.639 I don't know, I've never been. Would you like, do you want 620 00:56:59.679 --> 00:57:01.000 me to see if we can send you to one of these and you can 621 00:57:01.559 --> 00:57:05.480 you know, I'm gonna pass. I know we have several listeners who who 622 00:57:05.519 --> 00:57:07.760 are furries, Like, yeah, time furries. So I mean, if 623 00:57:07.760 --> 00:57:10.239 they're listening or the contact the social media, I'm wondering what the you know, 624 00:57:10.360 --> 00:57:15.239 just curious what's the protocol? Yeah, like, and again this is 625 00:57:15.280 --> 00:57:16.760 the thing, if if if if people, if if a bunch of people 626 00:57:16.800 --> 00:57:21.559 in free costumes want to go do your thing, gather on the beach. 627 00:57:22.280 --> 00:57:25.840 If it feels like this dude was being an a hole. But also I 628 00:57:27.000 --> 00:57:30.159 bet that the furries are in a bad mood because I know when I'm sweating 629 00:57:30.280 --> 00:57:32.400 hot like those guys obviously would be. I'm a little short tempered, so 630 00:57:34.119 --> 00:57:40.800 like it was a recipe for disaster. Do the furries? Do the furries 631 00:57:40.840 --> 00:57:44.760 have to go to the dog part of the beach and then have their handlers 632 00:57:44.840 --> 00:57:47.159 pick up But no, I think they probably just go to regular restrooms. 633 00:57:47.159 --> 00:57:52.679 Sir. This is why we're gonna send Ross Undercover. What do you want 634 00:57:52.719 --> 00:58:02.119 to be? I want to be a manatee? Do you realize how dangerous 635 00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:04.960 that could be? Right now? If you did go in the water? 636 00:58:07.519 --> 00:58:12.000 Right Either, you're so smart you're mad a tea Costue. You're like, 637 00:58:12.079 --> 00:58:15.880 I'm gonna go way in the water to cool off it by Manita cost and 638 00:58:15.960 --> 00:58:20.800 then before you know it, there's like five manatees having their way with you. 639 00:58:21.039 --> 00:58:27.000 As we learned. I just don't think it would go well, is 640 00:58:27.760 --> 00:58:30.280 the point that I'm making there. So Chick fil A has announced a new 641 00:58:30.800 --> 00:58:37.519 sandwich, the first new sandwich in nine years. All right, so tell 642 00:58:37.559 --> 00:58:44.679 me if this sounds good to you, Honey pepper pimento chicken sandwich. Honey 643 00:58:44.800 --> 00:58:51.039 pimento chicken sandwich. There's also gonna be a new milkshake, the Caramel Crumble, 644 00:58:52.280 --> 00:58:53.400 which I don't know. I'm not really into sweets, but it actually 645 00:58:53.440 --> 00:58:57.039 sounds pretty good. I kind of like salted caramel. I can do that. 646 00:58:58.000 --> 00:59:00.559 But honey pepper pimento chicken sandwich. Now, is this going to turn 647 00:59:00.599 --> 00:59:07.480 into the Popeyes thing? We're literally like, didn't somebody try to shoot somebody 648 00:59:07.559 --> 00:59:13.480 over one of those? There was one really wacky story wacky's the wrong word, 649 00:59:13.719 --> 00:59:19.400 like crazy story. I don't know. I remember, I remember. 650 00:59:19.440 --> 00:59:22.039 I gave it a long time because I'm like, this is dumb. They 651 00:59:22.079 --> 00:59:25.000 don't have this. I feel like it's artificial. I'm not gonna do it. 652 00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:29.880 But I was driving from Raleigh to Greensboro to do him to go broadcast 653 00:59:29.960 --> 00:59:35.159 over in Greensboro, and I pulled into the Popeyes like in Mebbin area. 654 00:59:35.239 --> 00:59:37.639 I can't remember which exit its off, and they didn't have it, but 655 00:59:37.719 --> 00:59:40.039 they had a picture of it, and they had they didn't have the signs 656 00:59:40.039 --> 00:59:43.480 saying they didn't have it. And I'm like, well, you just wasted 657 00:59:43.559 --> 00:59:47.719 my time. I'm out of here. So but like that was the extent 658 00:59:47.840 --> 00:59:54.039 to which I sought it out. I don't know, you know what I 659 00:59:54.280 --> 01:00:00.400 you know, Biscuitville for a while had the pimento breakfast thing. Dude, 660 01:00:00.480 --> 01:00:06.239 that was good. That was Gangbusters. Ross. You got any interest in 661 01:00:06.280 --> 01:00:08.719 the honey pepper pimento chicken sandwich, I'll probably pass, you know. I 662 01:00:08.840 --> 01:00:14.159 still say the best thing on their menu is the macaroni and cheese. It's 663 01:00:14.199 --> 01:00:16.280 so good. It's like that baked macaroni and cheese. As far as fast 664 01:00:16.320 --> 01:00:20.639 food mac and cheese goes. It's the best that's out there, There's no 665 01:00:20.800 --> 01:00:23.559 question because most of that most mac and cheese in a fast food place is 666 01:00:23.639 --> 01:00:29.960 garbage. It's just not good. So do you do you know what you're 667 01:00:30.000 --> 01:00:32.559 doing? You don't like pimento or well, the only time I've had pimento 668 01:00:32.679 --> 01:00:36.840 is at the little store downstairs and those like you know, like Trucker sort 669 01:00:36.880 --> 01:00:40.000 of sandwiches, So I don't think it's like the proper representation of the You 670 01:00:40.079 --> 01:00:44.800 better watch a bunch of pimento's gonna start showing up at the station. Some 671 01:00:44.960 --> 01:00:49.199 people look, I will say this, I've had some pimento, like homemade, 672 01:00:49.400 --> 01:00:52.920 good pimento, and there is a difference. And I thought the stuff 673 01:00:52.920 --> 01:00:57.119 they had a Biscuitville wasn't bad either. For whatever reason, they don't have 674 01:00:57.199 --> 01:01:00.400 that switch, which is weird because I'm a big fan that. I think. 675 01:01:00.400 --> 01:01:01.920 The only cheese I don't like is like cottage cheese. Otherwise, like 676 01:01:02.079 --> 01:01:07.880 cheese is one of the greatest things ever. Uh yeah, you know they 677 01:01:07.920 --> 01:01:13.519 need they need a Guacamolian baked bean chicken sandwich. Get a bunch of cents 678 01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:20.320 of the station for you ross Why why like We're gonna feed it to the 679 01:01:20.400 --> 01:01:24.679 cow. Is that what's gonna happen anyway? All right, so you're willing 680 01:01:24.719 --> 01:01:27.880 to go punch your neighbor to get ahold of one of those? You can 681 01:01:27.960 --> 01:01:30.599 let us know. Ray staging for the Weather Channel. What do you think, 682 01:01:30.920 --> 01:01:36.599 honey pepper pimento chicken sandwich the new the first new Chick fil A sandwich 683 01:01:36.679 --> 01:01:42.599 in nine years. So the pimento was what what kind of what kind of 684 01:01:42.639 --> 01:01:50.079 flavor is that pimento? Yeah, it's pimento. Okay. See, I 685 01:01:50.159 --> 01:01:52.119 think Ray is like myself were like being from New York and being from the 686 01:01:52.199 --> 01:01:54.800 same area, it's like it's not as big as it is in the South, 687 01:01:54.960 --> 01:01:58.920 you know, Like I didn't even know what it was. They have 688 01:01:58.960 --> 01:02:01.920 a Chick fil A every feet well, and I am a fan. I 689 01:02:02.119 --> 01:02:06.760 just you know, growing up in New York and it was huge. Now 690 01:02:06.840 --> 01:02:09.519 that they've started moving Chick fil A into New York, my family's going crazy 691 01:02:09.599 --> 01:02:14.480 and shocked that they weren't open on Sundays, right, you know. I 692 01:02:14.679 --> 01:02:16.760 fly in what was it like back in July for the fourth to visit my 693 01:02:16.840 --> 01:02:21.840 mom. I fly into the Albany Airport. Ye, my brother in law 694 01:02:21.960 --> 01:02:23.920 was picking me up outside the airport and he said, I just have one 695 01:02:24.000 --> 01:02:28.199 request, and I said what he goes, can you please pick me up 696 01:02:28.239 --> 01:02:31.760 a chicken sandwich from inside? Because that is the only Chick fil A in 697 01:02:31.840 --> 01:02:37.079 the area. Oh, that's the only one. And you actually had high 698 01:02:37.079 --> 01:02:39.360 school students in the area. I think there was like Albany High School where 699 01:02:39.559 --> 01:02:44.000 they figured out that if they pulled all their money together or whatever, one 700 01:02:44.039 --> 01:02:46.000 of them could buy a ticket to go pass security so they could get the 701 01:02:46.079 --> 01:02:51.480 chicken seandwich and then go back. So they bought a plane ticket to get 702 01:02:51.519 --> 01:02:55.000 into the airport to buy Chick fil a sandwich. That's hilarious. That's hilarious. 703 01:02:55.000 --> 01:02:58.800 And they're slowly starting to pop up elsewhere. But you know how we 704 01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:01.159 did it. It was like American cheese or nothing. I mean, Swiss 705 01:03:01.239 --> 01:03:05.519 was even a even a treat back in the day for me. But that's 706 01:03:05.599 --> 01:03:07.920 a long time ago, but I would probably like it wasn't. I think 707 01:03:07.960 --> 01:03:12.519 when I first moved to Raleigh, which you know, so obviously over a 708 01:03:12.639 --> 01:03:16.440 decade ago, wasn't the only Popeyes for a while in the airport in Raleigh. 709 01:03:19.079 --> 01:03:21.880 It was one. There was one of them that The only place they 710 01:03:21.920 --> 01:03:24.360 had it for for a little while was in the airport, and I remember 711 01:03:24.400 --> 01:03:27.480 people like, Oh, you're going, you're flying somewhere. You gotta go, 712 01:03:27.639 --> 01:03:30.119 And I'm like, what are you talking about? And then they explained 713 01:03:30.159 --> 01:03:32.519 this the only place you're gonna get it, and then they opened some more 714 01:03:32.599 --> 01:03:36.719 obviously, but yeah, the big ruck is is that they in one of 715 01:03:36.800 --> 01:03:40.039 the stops on the Thruway now they replaced a restaurant with a Chick fil A 716 01:03:40.159 --> 01:03:45.480 and people traveling on weekends not open on Sunday, they raised, I mean, 717 01:03:45.559 --> 01:03:49.400 it's been a it's been a big issue there. You're trying to drive 718 01:03:49.440 --> 01:03:51.480 and you want to stop and get something to eat. Nope, not at 719 01:03:51.519 --> 01:03:57.280 that one. As a bunch of heathens on this Thruway thing. So yeah, 720 01:03:57.360 --> 01:04:00.719 there are all right, man. So yeah, I know you're gonna 721 01:04:00.760 --> 01:04:03.119 make it suck again, but let's have just a little relief, shall we. 722 01:04:03.639 --> 01:04:08.760 Yeah, And there is and you know, the real differences between the 723 01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:12.599 triangle and the triad this morning's temperatures and dew points as it looks like the 724 01:04:12.719 --> 01:04:15.159 front is just east of a line from Raleigh to Fayetteville and up to the 725 01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:19.719 north northeast of that where closer into the triangle, we're looking at temperatures in 726 01:04:19.760 --> 01:04:23.719 the mid nupper sixties, dew points still in the upper sixties, even some 727 01:04:23.800 --> 01:04:26.719 low seventies, But as you go out of the triad, there are some 728 01:04:26.960 --> 01:04:30.360 temperatures, especially to the north and the low and mid sixties with lower dew 729 01:04:30.480 --> 01:04:32.159 points, so there's a little bit of a difference. This morning, we 730 01:04:32.199 --> 01:04:36.119 should all clear out and likely get into the mid to upper eighties this afternoon, 731 01:04:36.199 --> 01:04:40.960 and a noticeable drop in the humidity. Showers thunder showers will try to 732 01:04:41.000 --> 01:04:45.679 get us tomorrow, not really great chance of partly sunny otherwise mid upper eighties, 733 01:04:45.719 --> 01:04:48.559 may hit ninety degrees. And then over the period from Friday to Sunday, 734 01:04:48.920 --> 01:04:51.800 the warm up comes and we're talking about temperatures in the upper eighties, 735 01:04:53.039 --> 01:04:56.400 maybe some low nineties around overnight lows coming up into the mid nupper sixties, 736 01:04:56.800 --> 01:04:59.280 and then early next week might have a couple of days in the mid nineties 737 01:04:59.360 --> 01:05:01.159 for the triangle. A little bit cooler to the west, but speak of 738 01:05:01.199 --> 01:05:04.480 going west. This morning, out near Asheville, we did have some temperatures 739 01:05:04.840 --> 01:05:09.320 in the low fifties even in the mountains. The brew Ridge Parkway had a 740 01:05:09.360 --> 01:05:13.800 temperature of fifty degrees at silva about fifty eight hundred feet. So you know 741 01:05:13.920 --> 01:05:16.480 this is probably false false fall, as some of us are calling it, 742 01:05:16.639 --> 01:05:20.079 but either way, it looks like a couple of cooler mornings in a little 743 01:05:20.119 --> 01:05:24.199 lessimility than it goes back up. All right, well, thank you, 744 01:05:24.280 --> 01:05:27.079 sir. We'll talk in an hour. Okay, yes, sir, all 745 01:05:27.159 --> 01:05:30.480 right, coming up, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, he'll join us. Eight 746 01:05:30.599 --> 01:05:36.360 oh five. I have one of the craziest stories. It's out of Peru. 747 01:05:39.159 --> 01:05:43.760 But there is so much going on here. We'll get into that because 748 01:05:45.320 --> 01:05:47.239 I can't keep this to myself. You gotta hear this thing, and it 749 01:05:47.440 --> 01:05:51.039 is devious, to say the very least. We'll do that next. Hang 750 01:05:51.199 --> 01:06:02.159 on, get smart talk all day, nine four five WPTI in the Triad 751 01:06:02.519 --> 01:06:10.119 and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. So a version of 752 01:06:10.239 --> 01:06:16.239 this story actually first hit the news and it was in like the odd news 753 01:06:16.360 --> 01:06:21.639 section. Some of the tabloids ran it, and you know you didn't you 754 01:06:21.639 --> 01:06:29.239 didn't think much of it. So the story was these very very very remote, 755 01:06:29.480 --> 01:06:34.599 isolated indigenous community communities, I should say, in Peru. And when 756 01:06:34.599 --> 01:06:40.440 I say isolated, I mean like super off the grid, Like it takes 757 01:06:40.559 --> 01:06:43.440 ten hours in a boat to get to where they are, so we're not 758 01:06:43.559 --> 01:06:46.360 dealing with power, running water, none of that, and very limited contact. 759 01:06:46.440 --> 01:06:50.239 I mean, they're not uncontacted tribes. But for all practical purposes, 760 01:06:50.800 --> 01:06:58.880 these communities just do their own thing and don't really I think that they're set 761 01:06:58.920 --> 01:07:01.639 aside in Peru like a lot of places where they're kind of like self governed 762 01:07:01.679 --> 01:07:05.239 in what they do. All right, So the story came out that they're 763 01:07:05.280 --> 01:07:11.480 being harassed by aliens, right, and so you got these aliens and they're 764 01:07:11.519 --> 01:07:14.880 flying around, they're harassing them, and they're super tall and it's crazy. 765 01:07:14.960 --> 01:07:18.000 And so that story emerged, and like I said, it made a bunch 766 01:07:18.079 --> 01:07:27.840 of like the tabloidy stuff. However, it did prompt after news spread online, 767 01:07:27.880 --> 01:07:35.480 it did prompt who was a Peruvian government, members of the media, 768 01:07:35.559 --> 01:07:40.880 and there's some other folks from the international community. And ironically there was some 769 01:07:40.960 --> 01:07:43.639 interest in the US too, because it was right around the time of the 770 01:07:43.800 --> 01:07:48.079 congressional hearings about unexplained aerial phenomena. So they went in there, the Peruvian 771 01:07:48.159 --> 01:07:55.760 Navy police and a couple of media outlets got the boat traveled ten hours to 772 01:07:56.480 --> 01:08:01.840 the MAINUS provincial capital of Aikidos and then or from the capitol to where they 773 01:08:01.920 --> 01:08:05.599 were and just kind of waited to see what happened. And sure enough, 774 01:08:05.840 --> 01:08:13.480 when they got there, the aliens showed up to harass these villagers, these 775 01:08:13.519 --> 01:08:20.560 indigenous villagers. Well they're not aliens, but it's crazy what they are. 776 01:08:23.439 --> 01:08:31.680 So it turned out the aliens that were harassing these villagers and making the news 777 01:08:31.880 --> 01:08:43.439 were illegal gold miners with jet packs. What according to authorities, the perpetrators 778 01:08:43.600 --> 01:08:49.439 instead were members of an illegal gold mining gang actually based in Columbia and Brazil. 779 01:08:50.479 --> 01:08:54.720 So they're right on the where the where it all meets there in Peru. 780 01:08:54.880 --> 01:08:58.720 Like you said, it's really really back there. Who were attempting to 781 01:08:59.039 --> 01:09:03.079 terrorize the com community so that they could you know, mine for gold and 782 01:09:03.199 --> 01:09:06.439 stuff. And they thought the best way to do it was to literally get 783 01:09:06.520 --> 01:09:14.560 ahold of advanced aerial technology in the form of jet packs, which I guess 784 01:09:14.640 --> 01:09:18.000 you apparently can get. Well, wasn't wasn't this a problem like near the 785 01:09:18.119 --> 01:09:21.039 airport in La so I guess if you want it, you can get it 786 01:09:21.720 --> 01:09:27.000 and hopefully run these people off of this area where they feel that there is 787 01:09:27.079 --> 01:09:31.039 a significant amount of gold that can be dredged from the river basin there. 788 01:09:31.720 --> 01:09:38.199 The problem was the villages. So they pretended to be Aliens with jet packs. 789 01:09:39.079 --> 01:09:41.680 That's crazy. That's on a Naki stuff, right, isn't it. 790 01:09:42.439 --> 01:09:45.960 Wasn't there a big deal they came to didn't they the gold ancient aliens? 791 01:09:45.039 --> 01:09:48.760 Wasn't it about that they created human to be their slaves to mind gold, 792 01:09:48.960 --> 01:09:55.359 to fix their atmosphere. That's bonkers. And you know, and Peru is 793 01:09:55.920 --> 01:10:00.159 wrought with a lot of this from historical perspective, from Nasca lines to their 794 01:10:00.159 --> 01:10:04.560 stuff. But holy crap, man, So it's just yeah, this happens 795 01:10:04.640 --> 01:10:09.920 in Brazil with the illegal cattle stuff too, where they're where they're chasing off 796 01:10:10.000 --> 01:10:14.119 actually on contacted indigenous tries. But here they got a jet pack to scram. 797 01:10:49.039 --> 01:10:53.439 Good morning, everybody, and happy Wednesday. It is the k c 798 01:10:53.640 --> 01:11:00.520 O Day radio program. Uh still uh did a clean up you know where 799 01:11:00.560 --> 01:11:08.479 you are from the storms to move through North Carolina yesterday. All told, 800 01:11:08.560 --> 01:11:14.279 more than one hundred thousand folks across the state or without power. A woman 801 01:11:14.399 --> 01:11:19.520 was killed in Durham and a lot of a lot of flooding warnings out there, 802 01:11:19.640 --> 01:11:26.319 this uh the second time within just a few weeks. So it is 803 01:11:26.680 --> 01:11:30.560 if you're if, if you're if you're having to go out and commute somewhere 804 01:11:30.640 --> 01:11:36.520 this morning, I would just I would be diligent. As a thirty two 805 01:11:36.760 --> 01:11:42.760 car pile up happened on I forty near Durham yesterday. So and also you 806 01:11:42.840 --> 01:11:45.359 know, less likely maybe to see that, but sticks and all sorts of 807 01:11:45.399 --> 01:11:48.479 stuff on the road, so be careful out there. We'll get into more 808 01:11:48.479 --> 01:11:55.000 of that coming up with Stage Race Stagic from the Weather Channel. But first 809 01:11:55.560 --> 01:11:59.960 it is Wednesday. Our number three, Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor, joined 810 01:12:00.279 --> 01:12:03.079 us. How are you doing this morning, sir? What's up? I'm 811 01:12:03.119 --> 01:12:06.039 doing great? How are you doing? Casey? Pretty good? Uh? 812 01:12:06.279 --> 01:12:10.119 You find yourself without power at all yesterday? Or are you good to go? 813 01:12:11.640 --> 01:12:15.439 No? My daughter did though, So my my daughter and her husband 814 01:12:15.520 --> 01:12:18.399 and their children were at our house last night because their power was out, 815 01:12:18.479 --> 01:12:23.079 so we were glad. We have a actually have a generator generator in our 816 01:12:23.119 --> 01:12:25.560 house. But our power didn't go out, but if it had, the 817 01:12:25.640 --> 01:12:28.520 generator would have kicked in. But they were all there last night and this 818 01:12:28.680 --> 01:12:31.039 morning, and so we'll see what comes out. In their neighborhood was a 819 01:12:31.119 --> 01:12:34.760 mess, trees down everywhere. So we're just glad that no one was injured 820 01:12:34.880 --> 01:12:40.079 injured. So in their neighborhood, yeah, we did. Unfortunately in Durham 821 01:12:40.359 --> 01:12:45.119 that we hadn't lost her life with sure yeah sure, sure there were no 822 01:12:45.279 --> 01:12:47.560 others across the state they were but uh, and we prayed for those folks 823 01:12:47.600 --> 01:12:53.279 and artist uh but as always we had great first responders were out there on 824 01:12:53.359 --> 01:12:56.760 the scene immediately helping those folks, and we appreciate we appreciate them. But 825 01:12:57.159 --> 01:13:00.279 we prayed for the people across the state who were affected. Great about a 826 01:13:00.319 --> 01:13:05.039 storm, but luckily my daughter's neighborhood the damage was like Mark, you remember 827 01:13:05.560 --> 01:13:10.800 offering thoughts and prayers. You're not allowed to do that anymore as a government. 828 01:13:10.840 --> 01:13:13.439 Oh yeah, don't don't don't, don't work do that, casey, 829 01:13:13.560 --> 01:13:17.079 that's right, by the way. How great is it to be a granddad 830 01:13:17.159 --> 01:13:20.760 that can pump the grandkids full of sugar and then send them home. That's 831 01:13:20.800 --> 01:13:25.079 kind That's what we do. That's what we do. We would give them, 832 01:13:25.319 --> 01:13:29.279 we give them skittles and and ice coffee, and then we give them 833 01:13:29.640 --> 01:13:31.680 loud instruments and toys and send them home to their parents. That's great, 834 01:13:32.079 --> 01:13:36.239 Oh fantastic. I think Skittles is where we do cancel this. You may 835 01:13:36.319 --> 01:13:40.920 have to look at that, all right. I probably is long and everything 836 01:13:40.960 --> 01:13:44.199 else. Oh before we go another to go any farther casey, Yes, 837 01:13:44.319 --> 01:13:46.560 Well, the twenty two year old man stamped by a thirty year old man 838 01:13:46.720 --> 01:13:50.920 in a Popeye in Maryland over a chicken sandwich. Yeah, I knew there 839 01:13:51.039 --> 01:13:55.159 was That's what it was. I knew there was somebody who literally tried to 840 01:13:55.239 --> 01:14:00.680 murder somebody over it. One of those Popeyes sandwiches was just broken line. 841 01:14:00.680 --> 01:14:03.000 And we'll stay very saying, well, don't cut in line. You know 842 01:14:05.119 --> 01:14:09.600 we deserve to be stabbed, but you know, don't cut in line for 843 01:14:09.720 --> 01:14:12.600 the chicken sandwitiy. So are you gonna try Are you gonna try the new 844 01:14:12.680 --> 01:14:14.960 Chick fil a once? Since you brought it up? Because that kind of 845 01:14:14.960 --> 01:14:18.640 sounds cool? Absolutely absolutely. I love I love spicing sweet, and I 846 01:14:18.720 --> 01:14:23.239 love I love famenity, So yes, I'll be trying that with sure. 847 01:14:23.359 --> 01:14:25.600 Alright, rock on, all right, Well, I gotta get to a 848 01:14:25.680 --> 01:14:29.199 few other things because we can just talk chicken sandwiches but I don't know how 849 01:14:29.239 --> 01:14:33.000 fulfilling that would be. So I saw this op ed the News and Observer. 850 01:14:33.159 --> 01:14:36.760 I'm sure that your your staff and everyone kind of funnels this stuff in 851 01:14:36.840 --> 01:14:44.039 your direction. And there they are adamant that the budget needs to get done 852 01:14:44.079 --> 01:14:49.079 so they can start erecting African American monuments on various places, including the old 853 01:14:49.439 --> 01:14:56.439 state capitol, which is we know lost several monuments when folks tore them down 854 01:14:56.680 --> 01:14:58.880 and the governor said, well, we're not going to put them back up, 855 01:14:58.920 --> 01:15:02.720 even though there's a law. How are you feeling about this with a 856 01:15:02.960 --> 01:15:08.359 three million dollars price tech just on the design and initial implementation is this? 857 01:15:08.920 --> 01:15:12.000 Do you think this is a thing? I mean, where are you at. 858 01:15:12.199 --> 01:15:15.800 I'm gonna be completely honest with you, Casey, I'm not worried about 859 01:15:15.840 --> 01:15:18.840 that in the least bit. There are far more substantive issues that we have 860 01:15:18.960 --> 01:15:25.119 to deal with in this state than monuments being put up by activist groups. 861 01:15:25.600 --> 01:15:29.159 We have an entire state right now. We have a great opportunity in this 862 01:15:29.239 --> 01:15:32.520 state right now to grow this state's economy for Murphy Domanio. So the young 863 01:15:32.640 --> 01:15:35.159 kids now in the eastern part of the state and the western part of the 864 01:15:35.199 --> 01:15:40.279 state can see far more economic opportunities in the future. They're gonna help build 865 01:15:40.279 --> 01:15:44.199 their communities and their families and their lives. We need to be worried about 866 01:15:44.239 --> 01:15:46.680 those substantive investments that we need to make it those folks, to grow our 867 01:15:46.720 --> 01:15:50.359 economy, to help those folks grow in their families, their businesses, et 868 01:15:50.399 --> 01:15:56.720 cetera. This whole thing that's being these folks want to push these agendas for 869 01:15:56.840 --> 01:16:00.600 putting them statues for folks that they like, taking out statues to other people 870 01:16:00.800 --> 01:16:02.880 that they don't like. I'm not interested in talking about that at all. 871 01:16:03.279 --> 01:16:08.359 I'm interested in taking that three billion dollars and invested it into the young people. 872 01:16:08.399 --> 01:16:12.159 It needs to press communities so we can start rising and raising the statue 873 01:16:12.199 --> 01:16:15.720 of these areas up and build us in economic superpower here in this state. 874 01:16:15.960 --> 01:16:19.319 And we can do it if we invest in the right places. And that's 875 01:16:19.359 --> 01:16:24.520 not even all my radar right now. Okay, well yeah, but we 876 01:16:24.760 --> 01:16:28.079 haven't made the investment. And that's because at this point we still don't have 877 01:16:28.199 --> 01:16:31.720 a budget. I can look historically and see that many many a budget was 878 01:16:31.760 --> 01:16:38.359 passed in the fall during democratic run legislatures. So it's the standard political freak 879 01:16:38.439 --> 01:16:41.920 out. But do you like the direction that's going in? I mean, 880 01:16:43.000 --> 01:16:45.800 you know, where where are you out on the budget list since last we 881 01:16:45.960 --> 01:16:49.119 talked. I'm sure you're having conversed there. I think one of the major 882 01:16:49.239 --> 01:16:55.079 issues on the budget right now is is whether we continue the lower taxes or 883 01:16:55.079 --> 01:16:58.399 whether we take what we have to state where we are now and make those 884 01:16:59.079 --> 01:17:03.119 investments that has talked about, and I think that's the big discussion right now, 885 01:17:03.520 --> 01:17:05.920 and I think that's a great discussion we need to have that. I 886 01:17:05.960 --> 01:17:10.439 would love to see our taxas continue to be lowered, but at the same 887 01:17:10.520 --> 01:17:14.079 time, I'd love to see those investments be made so those good people can 888 01:17:14.119 --> 01:17:15.960 come together and get their heads together to figure out how we can do both. 889 01:17:16.439 --> 01:17:20.399 That will be great. But I have no doubt casing that whatever budget 890 01:17:20.520 --> 01:17:26.000 these Republicans passed, it will be far superior to any of the budgets that 891 01:17:26.039 --> 01:17:31.119 were passed by the pre two thy ten Democratic led leadership that had a three 892 01:17:31.199 --> 01:17:35.359 point four billion dollars in debt. And how our state did brooke. One 893 01:17:35.399 --> 01:17:39.479 of the elements that is a little controversial, and I'm curious where you're at 894 01:17:40.439 --> 01:17:45.359 is the casino stuff. You know what, Our Greensboro station is technically towered 895 01:17:45.399 --> 01:17:50.920 and licensed out of Rockingham County. Edenton is the city of license and uh, 896 01:17:51.079 --> 01:17:54.800 you know, there's a lot of folks up in Rocket Rockingham's a tough 897 01:17:54.880 --> 01:17:59.800 county, as you probably know, with the closure of the beer facility up 898 01:17:59.800 --> 01:18:02.039 there and many of the things that they've dealt with. The sheriff up there, 899 01:18:02.079 --> 01:18:06.560 we chat with him frequently, but there's still a lot of people don't 900 01:18:06.560 --> 01:18:11.760 want that casino up there. They're not alone. This is a conversation still 901 01:18:11.840 --> 01:18:16.199 moving forward. Where are you at on this? For those For those folks 902 01:18:16.279 --> 01:18:19.399 that know me, they know that I'm not in favor of casinos. I'm 903 01:18:19.399 --> 01:18:23.439 not in favor of gambling. I don't like it. That's my personal opinion 904 01:18:23.840 --> 01:18:27.640 there. I don't think that a casino is is something that if a young 905 01:18:27.720 --> 01:18:30.000 person was asking me, Hey, should I go off to the casino? 906 01:18:30.399 --> 01:18:32.840 Absolutely not. I don't think casinos. It's not part of something that I 907 01:18:33.000 --> 01:18:36.600 like to do. But I struggle when I when I think about it and 908 01:18:36.680 --> 01:18:42.359 say, do I have should I tell an adult how they can spend their 909 01:18:42.399 --> 01:18:45.600 money? But here's the real substantive issue in any Casey. The substantive issue 910 01:18:45.720 --> 01:18:50.000 is this, When a community is talking about opening the casino, I think 911 01:18:50.039 --> 01:18:56.720 the very first thing they should look at is what the downside of the casino, 912 01:18:57.159 --> 01:19:00.760 what kind of crime it might bring. And we all know sinos breed 913 01:19:00.159 --> 01:19:06.479 drug abuse, they can oftentimes breed prostitution and other things in big numbers. 914 01:19:08.039 --> 01:19:12.800 So because a community really needs to look and say can our public safety handle 915 01:19:12.920 --> 01:19:16.359 the added pressure of a casino? And if the answer is no, they 916 01:19:16.479 --> 01:19:19.600 need to reject it. I mean, ask the bottom line, we need 917 01:19:19.680 --> 01:19:24.239 to make sure that these casinos come, we're going to be able to mitigate 918 01:19:24.600 --> 01:19:30.239 the bad effects that casinos can bring, not just the gambling problem itself with 919 01:19:30.359 --> 01:19:34.319 some folks being addicted to gambling, but the most substituent problem, which is 920 01:19:34.479 --> 01:19:41.239 public safety. Can that community handle the public safety issue that made these casinos 921 01:19:41.279 --> 01:19:44.640 may bring? And that needs to be a serious question that these communities need 922 01:19:44.720 --> 01:19:47.800 to ask themselves before they make that step of opening those casinos. Well, 923 01:19:47.920 --> 01:19:51.960 but we have examples in North Carolina, head out the Cherokee they got casinos, 924 01:19:53.079 --> 01:19:59.920 and I mean, is that a huge issue out there? It's it's 925 01:20:00.199 --> 01:20:03.039 it's not it doesn't seem to be a huge issue, but that that casino 926 01:20:03.199 --> 01:20:08.479 was already established, that community is already established, and I would suppose that 927 01:20:08.560 --> 01:20:13.640 they took steps to ensure that those things won't happen there. What I'm saying 928 01:20:13.840 --> 01:20:16.720 is, when you're talking about a new community coming into this, coming into 929 01:20:16.760 --> 01:20:20.880 this, we have to look and see do we have to financial wherewithal and 930 01:20:21.000 --> 01:20:25.479 the ability to be able to mitigate those things. If we have a huge 931 01:20:25.520 --> 01:20:29.680 opioid crisis going on right now, if we have diminished law enforcement going on 932 01:20:29.920 --> 01:20:31.920 right now, now might not be the time to open a casino. Those 933 01:20:31.960 --> 01:20:35.319 are questions that have to be asked. But those local folks need to do 934 01:20:35.479 --> 01:20:41.760 that work and I certainly hope that they do well. And again, of 935 01:20:41.840 --> 01:20:45.319 course it turns into from a media perspective, they're convinced it's a conspiracy theory 936 01:20:45.399 --> 01:20:51.000 because of some campaign donations. But you know, that's the way of That's 937 01:20:51.039 --> 01:20:54.720 the way of the world, man. You know, Max contribution, I 938 01:20:54.800 --> 01:20:58.600 think it was fifty six hundred or something. But the reality is we have 939 01:20:58.680 --> 01:21:01.840 a casino just across the order now up in Virginia with the new one they 940 01:21:01.920 --> 01:21:09.039 open there, and the North Carolina Lottery just to approve digital instant games. 941 01:21:09.079 --> 01:21:14.520 So there is expansion of gambling happening already in North Carolina. Absolutely, And 942 01:21:14.600 --> 01:21:18.439 I've been very vocal in my opposition to the lottery here in North Carolina. 943 01:21:18.800 --> 01:21:24.079 Which brings me again to that point. How can the state of North Carolina 944 01:21:24.199 --> 01:21:28.840 not allowed gambling in private facilities when the state of North Carolina sanctions it through 945 01:21:28.880 --> 01:21:31.680 the lottery. I was against the lottery from the very beginning. I knew 946 01:21:31.720 --> 01:21:34.520 it was not going to be a boom for our schools or for our state, 947 01:21:34.680 --> 01:21:39.079 and it's not. And I don't like the fact that we have it. 948 01:21:39.560 --> 01:21:42.720 But again, the lotteries here, the state does the lottery. How 949 01:21:42.760 --> 01:21:45.680 can we tell private businesses and private individuals that they can't do the same in 950 01:21:45.960 --> 01:21:51.720 casinos. It's a very tough issue casing, but personally speaking, I'm against 951 01:21:51.800 --> 01:21:56.119 gambling and I'm against casinos and I don't like them, and I would advise 952 01:21:56.199 --> 01:21:59.159 any young person to stay out of them. Well, go to the buffet, 953 01:21:59.359 --> 01:22:01.720 you can go to the fay, that's fine, but maybe one of 954 01:22:01.760 --> 01:22:04.560 shows, but stay away from the gamblet machine. Sype your money, invest 955 01:22:04.560 --> 01:22:09.039 your money and something more all profitable. Well, okay, so let me 956 01:22:09.319 --> 01:22:11.760 let me follow along on that train of thought, then, Mark, because 957 01:22:11.840 --> 01:22:15.520 one of the things that continues to baffle me, and it was almost from 958 01:22:15.560 --> 01:22:19.119 the moment I moved to North Carolina over a decade ago, is the dual 959 01:22:19.319 --> 01:22:25.439 protectionism of our current ABC system, all right, because I like, if 960 01:22:25.920 --> 01:22:29.880 that that is opportunity there for fun. Look, I understand that there's some 961 01:22:30.119 --> 01:22:35.159 organizations as a Mark Creech's group and one others who who want alcohol regulated as 962 01:22:35.199 --> 01:22:40.720 strictly as possible. And I'm really kind of one of these, you know, 963 01:22:40.960 --> 01:22:43.840 least amount of government is best amount of government, even if I have 964 01:22:43.960 --> 01:22:47.800 objections to things. So why why is that still something we're not talking about? 965 01:22:47.880 --> 01:22:51.399 If the mindset is well, there should be private industry that's allowed to 966 01:22:51.479 --> 01:23:02.279 compete in yet another sometimes addictive slice of the economy. Sure, the argument 967 01:23:02.319 --> 01:23:08.439 against our ABC system has existed for a long time. I don't really see 968 01:23:08.720 --> 01:23:13.439 a real problem with the system as we have it now, other than the 969 01:23:13.520 --> 01:23:17.880 fact that it cuts out so called private private industry uh from from selling from 970 01:23:17.960 --> 01:23:24.319 selling uh you know, spirit the spirits, so to speak. Uh. 971 01:23:24.760 --> 01:23:29.520 But uh, to change that, to change that again, I think, 972 01:23:29.600 --> 01:23:31.159 Casey, what we really need to do is we need to really take a 973 01:23:31.359 --> 01:23:38.079 look, a hard look at the differences between the private sale and the way 974 01:23:38.159 --> 01:23:43.880 we have it now, and really ask ourselves the questions about those negative possible 975 01:23:44.239 --> 01:23:48.520 negative effects. And if we come to a consisuc of those positive those possible 976 01:23:48.640 --> 01:23:54.800 negative effects will not be greatly increased or increased at all, then I think 977 01:23:54.880 --> 01:23:58.079 maybe it would it would be time for the change. But we always whenever 978 01:23:58.199 --> 01:24:01.479 it comes time when we're talking about boxes such as alcohol, we always need 979 01:24:01.520 --> 01:24:04.199 to have that healthy debate, that healthy discussion, and we need to have 980 01:24:04.279 --> 01:24:09.439 it openly and honestly, not based on our political opinions, but based on 981 01:24:09.560 --> 01:24:14.399 some solid, solid, some solid advice from from real professionals. Well, 982 01:24:14.920 --> 01:24:18.840 and we have we have a vision of what some of the deregulation looks like. 983 01:24:19.399 --> 01:24:25.479 The State of North Carolina made a couple of very small changes to how 984 01:24:25.680 --> 01:24:30.279 beer and UH and brewing of beer was treated, and it spawned literally billions 985 01:24:30.479 --> 01:24:33.960 of both investment and revenue for the state of North Carolina. I mean, 986 01:24:34.399 --> 01:24:40.880 that was a win for government getting out of the waymark it has and that 987 01:24:40.960 --> 01:24:45.159 could be a good indicator because also UH, it also did not spark an 988 01:24:45.359 --> 01:24:51.640 increase in any real negative effect as far as drunk driving fatalities or things of 989 01:24:51.680 --> 01:24:57.159 that nature. So we could definitely look at some of those statistics and look 990 01:24:57.199 --> 01:25:00.600 at that as an example to see how we can move forward in the future. 991 01:25:00.640 --> 01:25:03.359 I'm not completely against it, not completely aport. And the reason why 992 01:25:03.359 --> 01:25:06.960 I say that is just not for politics, is because I am really in 993 01:25:08.079 --> 01:25:12.880 favor of governing by consensus. We really need to have open, honest dialogue 994 01:25:13.159 --> 01:25:15.560 and not governed by our opinion. But we need to really listen to the 995 01:25:15.640 --> 01:25:19.079 opinions of all this to try to get to a real solution to the issue, 996 01:25:19.439 --> 01:25:23.920 and that can make real solid changes for the better. I got a 997 01:25:23.960 --> 01:25:26.079 couple of minutes, and I want to hit you with this just because it's 998 01:25:26.159 --> 01:25:29.159 the it's the giant news story that's out there. It's a little kind of 999 01:25:29.199 --> 01:25:32.520 off topic, but I guess maybe not really. Why Why do you think 1000 01:25:32.560 --> 01:25:38.560 that there is hesitancy among Republican elected officials in many states who could just as 1001 01:25:38.720 --> 01:25:44.199 easily pursue aspects of the Biden investigation. Florida is a great example red state. 1002 01:25:45.560 --> 01:25:47.520 You know, obviously DeSantis is there's a lot of things he's been doing 1003 01:25:47.560 --> 01:25:51.399 there, and there's a lot of other elected officials and most of Joe Biden's 1004 01:25:51.439 --> 01:25:56.680 brothers. Stuff dealing with this hospital down there took place in Florida, Yet 1005 01:25:56.960 --> 01:26:00.199 Republicans don't do that. Are you frustrated watch and everything that's playing out with 1006 01:26:00.279 --> 01:26:05.039 Trump right now and watching those states not do it, or do you feel 1007 01:26:05.119 --> 01:26:10.960 that maybe those states shouldn't join in what many people say appears to be a 1008 01:26:11.039 --> 01:26:15.600 witch hunt, albeit on the other side. What I'm what I'm frustrated with 1009 01:26:15.760 --> 01:26:20.640 faces is I'm frustrated with people being afraid. I don't understand how we live 1010 01:26:20.680 --> 01:26:27.000 in a nation that literally was founded by men and women who are willing to 1011 01:26:27.079 --> 01:26:31.880 stand up against the most powerful crown on earth. We're now ruled and led 1012 01:26:31.960 --> 01:26:35.800 by people, not ruled, but led by people who are afraid of folks 1013 01:26:35.920 --> 01:26:42.520 with news cameras and pads and pencils. We're literally afraid of the news media. 1014 01:26:42.560 --> 01:26:45.439 When the news media attacks, everybody does, a great number of our 1015 01:26:45.479 --> 01:26:49.640 folks will cut, pale and run. It's time for us to stand up 1016 01:26:49.840 --> 01:26:53.960 against these and the news media is the one driving this. Let's make no 1017 01:26:54.079 --> 01:26:57.920 mistake about it. They are the ones that are driving this area. It 1018 01:26:58.119 --> 01:27:02.159 is time for us to stand up in earnest against this dishonest news media that 1019 01:27:02.279 --> 01:27:06.840 has become an arm of the Democratic Party and the leftists in this state, 1020 01:27:08.319 --> 01:27:11.800 in this country. We have got to start having the courage to stand up 1021 01:27:11.840 --> 01:27:14.880 and push back against these people. And here it is, We've got to 1022 01:27:14.920 --> 01:27:18.199 start hitting them in their pocketbooks. We've got to start subscribe, stop subscribing 1023 01:27:18.239 --> 01:27:23.760 to their channels and buying their products, because their product oftentimes is full of 1024 01:27:23.880 --> 01:27:27.359 filth and full of lives, and it doesn't do our nation or our state 1025 01:27:27.439 --> 01:27:30.439 any good, and it does not do us any good. We've got to 1026 01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:32.319 turn away from them, and we've got to push back against them and every 1027 01:27:32.399 --> 01:27:36.760 turn. And that's what frustrates me, the amount of people who who continue 1028 01:27:38.039 --> 01:27:43.640 to be afraid of these news agencies and continue to patronize these news agents agents. 1029 01:27:43.640 --> 01:27:45.039 Are you talking? Are you talking about lawmakers you think are afraid? 1030 01:27:45.560 --> 01:27:51.319 I think it's I think I think it's it's become a thing is systemic across 1031 01:27:51.359 --> 01:27:56.600 the board. Folks are afraid of being docs, canceled, pushed out. 1032 01:27:56.720 --> 01:27:59.479 They don't want that to happen. Just take a look at what happened with 1033 01:27:59.600 --> 01:28:02.239 Jason Mark. I'm stract, I'm sorry, I got I'm sorry, I 1034 01:28:02.399 --> 01:28:04.439 let I just looked at the clock. I got a roll, but thank 1035 01:28:04.479 --> 01:28:13.520 you and we'll be back. It's pure your day Smarter one oh six one 1036 01:28:13.600 --> 01:28:19.640 FM Talk and News Talk four five w PTI more with Casey starts now, 1037 01:28:26.479 --> 01:28:30.800 all right, good morning to get is thirty six there on your Wednesday, 1038 01:28:30.279 --> 01:28:34.720 just flying by today. Man, all right, So I did find the 1039 01:28:34.760 --> 01:28:36.960 audio I thought we had in the system, and I looked and look, 1040 01:28:38.000 --> 01:28:42.720 but now we do because Rols just dubbed it in and I was wrong. 1041 01:28:42.840 --> 01:28:47.560 I thought it was. This is the thing, man, than Ross. 1042 01:28:47.960 --> 01:28:50.960 Does this happen to you where you're like, we just talked about something, 1043 01:28:51.000 --> 01:28:54.680 and then you go look at the audio that we have in this system and 1044 01:28:54.760 --> 01:28:58.279 you realize we dubbed it in like nine months ago, like a year ago, 1045 01:28:59.359 --> 01:29:03.199 or everything just kind of runs together because I get that vibe. So 1046 01:29:03.279 --> 01:29:09.000 this story was about a year ago. So but still you shouldn't make this 1047 01:29:09.199 --> 01:29:16.680 mistake twice. So the you know these stop oil people the block traffic, 1048 01:29:16.840 --> 01:29:24.079 glue themselves to stuff folks. About a year ago, they had a little 1049 01:29:24.159 --> 01:29:29.760 protest. They were they were going to they were gonna stop anything that looked 1050 01:29:29.800 --> 01:29:35.199 like a petrol truck was over in the UK, so petrol and so they 1051 01:29:35.239 --> 01:29:40.439 were blocking, they were adhering themselves to it and all that, and so 1052 01:29:40.680 --> 01:29:44.640 Sky News, BBC everyone's out there covering this. And one of the guys, 1053 01:29:44.720 --> 01:29:47.680 I can't remember what his his deal was, if he was a driver 1054 01:29:47.880 --> 01:29:51.880 or somebody worked for one of these companies or maybe just somebody's whatever, but 1055 01:29:51.960 --> 01:29:57.359 he's like yelling stuff at him, and the Sky News reporter goes over and 1056 01:29:57.760 --> 01:30:03.159 she's, you know, to do the man on the street, and she 1057 01:30:03.439 --> 01:30:06.359 it's almost like she's she's explaining to this guy, well, you need to 1058 01:30:06.479 --> 01:30:13.039 understand that they're very passionate about stopping this. And the exchange is still one 1059 01:30:13.079 --> 01:30:15.119 of my favorite. Here we go what I achieve it. Well, what 1060 01:30:15.199 --> 01:30:19.800 they're saying is they want maximum disruption to stop the government extracting oil and gas. 1061 01:30:20.000 --> 01:30:29.960 Yeah, the truck, while it does look like the one that shows 1062 01:30:30.039 --> 01:30:35.319 up at the gas station to you know, put the gasoline in the in 1063 01:30:35.439 --> 01:30:43.560 the tanks there, that truck is full of cooking oil and not you know, 1064 01:30:44.840 --> 01:30:53.680 gasoline or oil for your car. Uh. Well, apparently there was 1065 01:30:53.760 --> 01:30:57.279 an incident in the UK where this time they didn't try to glue themselves to 1066 01:30:57.359 --> 01:31:00.079 it, but they did. They were surrounding and yelling at it, and 1067 01:31:00.159 --> 01:31:03.319 the guy's like, no, this is cooking oil again. Well maybe it's 1068 01:31:03.399 --> 01:31:06.760 not. Maybe they just learned to yell at But you think you could tell 1069 01:31:06.840 --> 01:31:12.359 the difference, right, any of your truck drivers out there. I'm assuming 1070 01:31:12.399 --> 01:31:15.520 the trucks are slightly labeled differently. And if you're really an activist who's really 1071 01:31:15.680 --> 01:31:18.239 into this, you might just do a little bit of research so you can 1072 01:31:18.319 --> 01:31:23.960 figure out if you're targeting the correct people. Because now it's like even if 1073 01:31:24.039 --> 01:31:27.479 you even if you think that you know, at least they're doing some to 1074 01:31:27.520 --> 01:31:30.239 fight climate change. Yeah, well they're also screwing with your fried food and 1075 01:31:30.680 --> 01:31:33.800 fish and chips is a big deal in the UK, So you're not making 1076 01:31:33.880 --> 01:31:40.319 friends. Ros Are you more offended if they want to glue themselves to cooking 1077 01:31:40.359 --> 01:31:45.720 oil for fried foods, perhaps even chicken wings of some sort or stuff for 1078 01:31:45.840 --> 01:31:49.439 your car or do you not care either way? I mean, I think 1079 01:31:49.439 --> 01:31:55.920 they're just wasting everyone's time altogether. So well, I mean clearly, obviously, 1080 01:31:56.159 --> 01:31:58.359 I mean that's that's the point of it. They want, they want 1081 01:31:58.399 --> 01:32:00.840 you to stop and think. But yeah, it's stopping. They as stupid, 1082 01:32:00.880 --> 01:32:05.920 they are idiot's. I mean it's almost as if they don't know what 1083 01:32:05.960 --> 01:32:11.279 they're talking about. The Volkswagon thing is still my favorite of the Porsche Volkswagon. 1084 01:32:12.000 --> 01:32:15.119 Oh where they pied themselves. Yeah, so they glued themselves to the 1085 01:32:15.199 --> 01:32:18.439 floor because Porsche Volkswagen don'ts Porsche or whatever, And so they go to the 1086 01:32:18.600 --> 01:32:23.880 facility, right, and they go into because they have like a little showroom 1087 01:32:23.880 --> 01:32:27.359 even at the facility for people to come visit, and they glue themselves to 1088 01:32:27.399 --> 01:32:30.319 the floor, and the people Volkswagen are like, all right, we're going 1089 01:32:30.399 --> 01:32:33.279 home for the nights. So they like shut off the heat and the lights 1090 01:32:33.479 --> 01:32:38.359 and they just left and like a security guards standing by. And then they're 1091 01:32:38.359 --> 01:32:40.680 all like, oh no, we're glued to stuff and we got to go 1092 01:32:40.760 --> 01:32:45.039 to the bathroom and it's cold and nobody's here filming us. This was a 1093 01:32:45.239 --> 01:32:49.279 horrible idea that one. And then the people who glued themselves to the conductor's 1094 01:32:49.359 --> 01:32:54.560 lectern at the symphony, which just lifts out of the stage, so they 1095 01:32:54.640 --> 01:32:59.039 just walk these two idiots backstage still glued to this little metal post. So, 1096 01:33:00.520 --> 01:33:02.880 oh man, all sorts of good stuff. So we got that for 1097 01:33:03.000 --> 01:33:09.640 you, a couple other things. And American tourists, excuse me. Two 1098 01:33:09.680 --> 01:33:14.960 American tourists are in a little bit of trouble after they were found asleep literally 1099 01:33:15.319 --> 01:33:18.800 on top of the Eiffel Tower, well not top top, but you know 1100 01:33:19.079 --> 01:33:24.520 up in the area you can go, yes, Monday morning, after allegedly 1101 01:33:24.600 --> 01:33:30.439 getting drunk again Monday morning, getting drunk evading security the night before, the 1102 01:33:31.039 --> 01:33:35.960 Landmarks operators says staff at the monument woke the men in the early morning as 1103 01:33:36.000 --> 01:33:41.920 they made their rounds ahead of the towers nine am opening. The pair appeared 1104 01:33:41.960 --> 01:33:45.880 to have gotten stuck because of how drunk they were. They were found in 1105 01:33:45.960 --> 01:33:48.439 a section of the tower normally closed to the public between the second and third 1106 01:33:48.600 --> 01:33:54.920 levels, so they either climbed up it or got up it and then descended 1107 01:33:55.000 --> 01:34:00.880 down from one of the viewing area up there. To do so, they 1108 01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:04.720 had to hop several security barriers and they do believe they descended from the top 1109 01:34:04.800 --> 01:34:12.640 of the tower, and they intend to file a criminal complaint. So don't 1110 01:34:12.720 --> 01:34:15.439 do that, I guess when you go to Paris, So isn't that But 1111 01:34:15.600 --> 01:34:19.800 isn't that where the opening of like one of the wormholes is or something, 1112 01:34:20.520 --> 01:34:26.239 isn't there some like alien conspiracy with that? Trying to remember the episode, 1113 01:34:26.600 --> 01:34:30.239 I think there was because of like some of the people who were involved in 1114 01:34:30.479 --> 01:34:34.000 some of the construction of the tower. Maybe it's a Luminati thing. I 1115 01:34:34.079 --> 01:34:41.960 might have to go back and fall down that wormhole later today. And this 1116 01:34:42.520 --> 01:34:48.840 right here. According to researchers at the University of British Columbia, there are 1117 01:34:49.079 --> 01:34:56.720 three masculine categories out there. This is what scientists say. They say that 1118 01:34:56.840 --> 01:35:01.600 all straight men fit into one of three distinct mas skilling categories, and it 1119 01:35:01.680 --> 01:35:11.720 defines how they navigate relationships and from interpersonal work stuff to relationships obviously marriage. 1120 01:35:12.840 --> 01:35:16.199 All right, so which one are you? Are you a neo traditionalist. 1121 01:35:16.920 --> 01:35:23.520 That's a man who largely follows traditional gender roles where they're the provider and protector. 1122 01:35:24.359 --> 01:35:30.000 The second is egalitarian, involves a man seeking a more equal partnership with 1123 01:35:30.159 --> 01:35:34.119 emphasis on mutual and measurable give and take. And the third category is called 1124 01:35:34.199 --> 01:35:40.039 the progressive category, and that's men who work on building gender equity in the 1125 01:35:40.119 --> 01:35:45.439 partnership through regular conversations with their partner to adjust who does what? All right, 1126 01:35:45.680 --> 01:35:53.159 does anybody else feel like there's a whole category missing there, and ironically, 1127 01:35:53.279 --> 01:35:56.800 it's almost the category that's most often represented, it seems, in like 1128 01:35:57.000 --> 01:36:02.439 TV commercials, because I don't feel that any of those three categories actively define 1129 01:36:03.039 --> 01:36:10.640 the village idiot moron man that is portrayed in a lot of commercials where he's 1130 01:36:10.680 --> 01:36:14.319 got to have a woman come by and do everything for him, and he's 1131 01:36:14.359 --> 01:36:18.439 almost it's almost like the as I haven't seen the Barbie movie, but how 1132 01:36:18.520 --> 01:36:26.479 Ken's described in the movie. They say that less than a quarter of men 1133 01:36:26.600 --> 01:36:30.560 are categorized as neo traditionalists. Is that true? That's the other thing I 1134 01:36:30.600 --> 01:36:32.960 got to ask, do you think that only one fourth of men see themselves 1135 01:36:33.000 --> 01:36:38.520 as provider and protector? I don't know that. I believe that. I 1136 01:36:38.680 --> 01:36:41.640 kind of feel like that's got to be the bulkiest category, or at the 1137 01:36:41.760 --> 01:36:45.760 very least maybe a blending of the egalitarian in that. But yeah, you 1138 01:36:45.920 --> 01:36:51.520 left off all the idiot idiots and just destroyed men the betas if you will, 1139 01:36:53.439 --> 01:36:57.680 and so I question your research. All right, eight forty four Racetagic 1140 01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:02.479 from the Weather Channel. He's here, all right, so if we could 1141 01:37:02.640 --> 01:37:05.000 look if you want to do, weather Man, could you just stop knock 1142 01:37:05.039 --> 01:37:08.680 and power out and stuff like that. That would be great. Yeah, 1143 01:37:08.800 --> 01:37:15.199 that was an unfortunate too with the fatality, some strong storms and a woman 1144 01:37:15.359 --> 01:37:17.920 the tree fell on a car. We had a thirty two car pile up, 1145 01:37:17.960 --> 01:37:23.760 two on forties. So yeah, it was nuts. So and right 1146 01:37:23.800 --> 01:37:28.359 along the front and the front on time yesterday afternoon. Now that front is 1147 01:37:28.439 --> 01:37:30.880 a kind of slowly trying to get out and off to the east. Looks 1148 01:37:30.960 --> 01:37:36.239 like it's just east of Raleigh and east have done in Fayetteville and up to 1149 01:37:36.279 --> 01:37:40.399 the north Neurono Rapids. There are some showers east of that, out in 1150 01:37:40.439 --> 01:37:44.119 near Goldsborough, but they're heading east, and so was front. Morning. 1151 01:37:44.159 --> 01:37:47.680 Temperatures are milder closer into the triangle where it's in the load of mid seventies, 1152 01:37:47.720 --> 01:37:50.319 but the dew points are starting to come down. And then back to 1153 01:37:50.399 --> 01:37:56.279 the west at the triad we'd seeing temperatures in the little bit sixties, believe 1154 01:37:56.279 --> 01:37:59.880 it or not. From west to east, temperatures do go cool to mild. 1155 01:38:00.119 --> 01:38:02.000 We'll go through the see lots of sunshine continuing to break out. We're 1156 01:38:02.039 --> 01:38:06.000 probably already there now, temperatures in the mid to upper eighties. Tonight, 1157 01:38:06.439 --> 01:38:10.359 towards sunrise, we'll see a threat for showers and thunder showers once again, 1158 01:38:10.720 --> 01:38:13.359 and that chance will be with us Tomorrow, a few showers, thunder showers, 1159 01:38:13.640 --> 01:38:15.880 party sunny, otherwise mid to upper eighties, and then we'll start the 1160 01:38:15.920 --> 01:38:19.399 sunny, dry weather and the warm up and the humidity. We'll start coming 1161 01:38:19.479 --> 01:38:23.840 back Friday, sunny, mid to upper eighties, and over the weekend upper 1162 01:38:23.880 --> 01:38:26.960 eighties to low nineties, and maybe some mid nineties early next week. I 1163 01:38:27.039 --> 01:38:30.159 think starting Friday, after we lose the rain chance tomorrow and tomorrow night might 1164 01:38:30.279 --> 01:38:33.760 have multiple days meeting a week or more, or maybe five to seven days. 1165 01:38:33.840 --> 01:38:36.520 Excuse me, I was going on a work week five days. That 1166 01:38:36.600 --> 01:38:40.520 is what I meant for sunny, dry weather. We'll a warm up and 1167 01:38:40.560 --> 01:38:44.039 then temperatures coming back down a little. I wouldn't expect much rain from Friday 1168 01:38:44.119 --> 01:38:46.520 through Tuesday. Do you want to jump into the Atlantic basin? There's three 1169 01:38:46.560 --> 01:38:49.359 areas of disturb weather. The Hurricane Center has its eyes on one of the 1170 01:38:49.399 --> 01:38:54.399 Gulf too. In the Atlantic. Low chances twenty percent on the system in 1171 01:38:54.439 --> 01:38:57.560 the Gulf of fifty percent on the one system in the Atlantic. Just that 1172 01:38:57.680 --> 01:39:00.279 kind of little reminder here, Although it hasn't been much action yet in the 1173 01:39:00.359 --> 01:39:03.640 tropics, things could could be starting to heat up as we had towards the 1174 01:39:03.640 --> 01:39:06.960 peak of the season September tenth. Okay, all right, we'll have a 1175 01:39:08.039 --> 01:39:11.000 good rest your day, sir. We'll chat tomorrow, okay. And I 1176 01:39:11.119 --> 01:39:13.600 like how you think there's five days in a work week and then you just 1177 01:39:13.760 --> 01:39:16.720 randomly disappear when the weather's bed. So right, they're all right, all 1178 01:39:16.800 --> 01:39:20.199 right, bun, bust in your chest, yep, all right, yeah 1179 01:39:20.279 --> 01:39:24.399 yeah, and then Jeff Bellinger will join us. Plus we have a cancelation 1180 01:39:24.560 --> 01:39:36.079 coming up. Hang on, keeping you connected. This is ninety four five 1181 01:39:36.359 --> 01:39:42.439 WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. 1182 01:39:43.960 --> 01:39:47.199 Are good morning, eight fifty two. You're Blimber Update now with Jeff Bellinger. 1183 01:39:47.359 --> 01:39:51.520 Jeff, what's happening on morning, Casey. It was a losing Tuesday 1184 01:39:51.600 --> 01:39:56.680 session on the Wall Street. All of the major averages fell a little more 1185 01:39:56.760 --> 01:40:00.760 than one percent. Futures have been up and down all morning. Right now 1186 01:40:00.880 --> 01:40:04.079 they are lower across the board. Now, futures are down thirty nine points. 1187 01:40:04.359 --> 01:40:10.640 Bloomberg Intelligence as the retail sales numbers may cool in the months ahead. 1188 01:40:11.560 --> 01:40:15.720 The numbers out yesterday beat expectations, but consumers are expected to be holding their 1189 01:40:15.760 --> 01:40:20.439 wallets tighter by fall. BI also notes that Amazon's Prime Day event may have 1190 01:40:20.479 --> 01:40:26.279 boosted overall sales in July. Home builders started work on more new projects last 1191 01:40:26.359 --> 01:40:30.720 month. The government just reported that housing starts increased three point nine percent in 1192 01:40:30.840 --> 01:40:35.319 July. That top forecast mortgage interest rates continue to climb. Bankers report the 1193 01:40:35.399 --> 01:40:40.159 average rate on a thirty year fixed rate home loan was up to seven point 1194 01:40:40.279 --> 01:40:44.760 sixteen percent last week. That matches the two thousand one high, and it's 1195 01:40:44.800 --> 01:40:48.840 putting a damper on home sales and mortgage refinancings. We get minutes from last 1196 01:40:48.880 --> 01:40:54.640 month's Federal Reserve Board meeting this afternoon. Bloomberg Economics says they will show that 1197 01:40:54.960 --> 01:40:59.479 FED members who favored holding rate steady for the rest of the year were in 1198 01:40:59.560 --> 01:41:02.479 the minority. And Casey, there has been a sea change in the way 1199 01:41:02.520 --> 01:41:09.199 Americans get their video entertainment. Nielsen reports that last month, people spent less 1200 01:41:09.239 --> 01:41:14.199 time watching broadcast and cable stations than they spent with streaming services, video on 1201 01:41:14.279 --> 01:41:18.279 demand, and gaming, and that's never happened before. Casey, broadcasting cable 1202 01:41:18.479 --> 01:41:23.760 channels may regain some of their market share in the fall when the football and 1203 01:41:23.880 --> 01:41:28.000 other sports return. Casey well, until they find a way to move that, 1204 01:41:28.600 --> 01:41:30.840 you know, some of the streaming ones that are bidding on them. 1205 01:41:30.920 --> 01:41:33.039 So we shall see, but for now, thank you much appreciate it, 1206 01:41:33.119 --> 01:41:35.880 sir. All right, have a good day. Yep, yep, there 1207 01:41:35.960 --> 01:41:39.960 you go, Jeff Fellinger, Bloomberg News. By the way, speaking of 1208 01:41:40.000 --> 01:41:45.239 football, did you see like, remember what was it Joe So Joe Burrow 1209 01:41:45.359 --> 01:41:48.239 got pop pretty hard at practice not that long ago, and like two of 1210 01:41:48.319 --> 01:41:53.560 their other top players had to be literally like stretchered out of there. So 1211 01:41:54.159 --> 01:41:58.319 through the Bengals. Man that is, this is not a good preseason for 1212 01:41:58.399 --> 01:42:03.680 you right now, and and Rossville's very badly for you, obviously being one 1213 01:42:03.720 --> 01:42:09.399 of the AFC competitors. I'm sure. All right, we got a cancelation. 1214 01:42:09.640 --> 01:42:14.319 So let's go ahead and get to this. Hold on your button bar 1215 01:42:14.479 --> 01:42:19.000 here all right? Uh, here we go, yes, all right, 1216 01:42:19.079 --> 01:42:23.359 so what's canceled? Uh? Well, they're in the process of doing it. 1217 01:42:23.520 --> 01:42:27.279 And ironically, this story has is so important that if you go on 1218 01:42:27.439 --> 01:42:31.840 NBC News's website, it's it's in the you know how, sometimes they have 1219 01:42:31.960 --> 01:42:36.159 that red like cross banner above the stories for like breaking news or the top 1220 01:42:36.239 --> 01:42:41.680 stories. Uh, this one is there as part of the rundown. It's 1221 01:42:42.039 --> 01:42:48.800 Bradley Cooper that's just getting canceled. Yes, actor Bradley Cooper over jew face? 1222 01:42:50.039 --> 01:42:54.399 Yeah, jew face? All right, so what's up with that? 1223 01:42:54.560 --> 01:43:00.520 Here we go. So Bradley Cooper is in a new movie, and the 1224 01:43:00.720 --> 01:43:04.119 movie the trailer for the movie, which is on Netflix or we'll be on 1225 01:43:04.199 --> 01:43:10.199 Netflix. The movie is called Maestro, was released yesterday and in it you 1226 01:43:10.359 --> 01:43:17.880 see Cooper portraying a real person, Leonard Bernstein, a very famous obviously conductor, 1227 01:43:18.039 --> 01:43:24.119 composer. And it's a biographical it's a bit of a romance thing too. 1228 01:43:24.279 --> 01:43:28.039 Whatever. I don't know. I like some of the biographical stuff, 1229 01:43:28.079 --> 01:43:32.119 but it looks like it's kind of leans into the romance side. So maybe 1230 01:43:32.159 --> 01:43:34.600 I'll see. Maybe I won't if it's on Netflix. I got Netflix. 1231 01:43:35.079 --> 01:43:41.720 But the problem is Bradley Cooper. Well there's two problems. One, he's 1232 01:43:41.800 --> 01:43:45.640 not Jewish. I guess, I don't know. And Sarah Silverman was griping 1233 01:43:45.680 --> 01:43:53.520 about how only Jewish actors should play Jewish characters, so I guess we're there. 1234 01:43:53.600 --> 01:43:58.800 But what really ticked people off. Is that in an effort to look 1235 01:43:58.960 --> 01:44:08.640 like Bernstein, Cooper had a prosthetic nose, I know, and so because 1236 01:44:08.760 --> 01:44:12.199 he enlarged his nose, because you're gonna be shocked to learn that, yes, 1237 01:44:13.239 --> 01:44:16.239 two things can be true. One Bernstein is in fact Jewish, and 1238 01:44:16.520 --> 01:44:24.039 two he has a He's got a bigger nose than Bradley Cooper. The picture 1239 01:44:24.079 --> 01:44:28.920 in this article on NBC News a nice little profile side picture. He definitely 1240 01:44:29.039 --> 01:44:34.239 has a prominent nose. And look, I understand the whole you know, 1241 01:44:34.479 --> 01:44:41.119 the history of especially when you look at some of the stuff that the Nazis 1242 01:44:41.199 --> 01:44:44.560 used to produce with the giant nose and that carries I get all of that. 1243 01:44:45.520 --> 01:44:48.720 But it's not like Bradley Cooper's trying to look like Steve Martin and Rock 1244 01:44:48.800 --> 01:44:54.680 sand Well. Steve Martins should be careful. Maybe they'll go back and retroactively 1245 01:44:54.720 --> 01:44:59.840 get him. He's trying to look like Bernstein. You know who Gary old 1246 01:45:00.000 --> 01:45:02.439 and It had a prosthetic nose when he played Winston Churchill. He had a 1247 01:45:02.479 --> 01:45:06.199 lot of prosthetics, to be quite honest with you, you know it was 1248 01:45:06.359 --> 01:45:12.159 it was part of becoming the character. But now we're onto jew face and 1249 01:45:12.439 --> 01:45:18.119 because he wanted to look like Leonard Bernstein for for a movie about Leonard Bernstein. 1250 01:45:18.279 --> 01:45:21.079 I know, it's it's craziest. Oh you know, you know who 1251 01:45:21.159 --> 01:45:26.319 else probably get in trouble is Matt Damon. Did any other prosthetic nose in 1252 01:45:26.359 --> 01:45:30.640 one of the Oceans movies was the last one? Right here he is playing 1253 01:45:30.720 --> 01:45:42.720 the the personal assistance to the Lila Asian app acrobat dude. So whatever cal 1254 01:45:48.000 --> 01:45:53.560 and on that Well, I guess we're canceled, but probably only for about 1255 01:45:53.720 --> 01:45:56.960 twenty one hours. But we'll see
