All right, good morning everybody. I'm welcome. It is six oh seven
Cacoda Radio program. Oh it's so what a different span. So if you
listen around this time yesterday, I mentioned to you that I like, I
woke up the other day and one of the years was just all like blogged
up and I couldn't hear anything. And when you put headphones on you really
notice that and it is wildly distracting. So yesterday the whole show, I'm
like, I got left channel, no right channel. It's just the worst.
But then yesterday after the show able to get that handled and uh,
it's like, dude, that moment when all of a sudden you can hear
out of an ear again, it's deeply satisfying. So I literally I cured
my own partial deafness. Ross one more miracle and it's sainthood. So watch
out. I'm just saying I'll have jewelry statues, painting. Yeah. Well,
actually, as we learned in the in the on the Christmas classic Fred
Claus, once you become a saint, you're frozen in time. You your
family and your spouse. I'm not I'm not married, so you're like a
vampire. But you can go out in the sun. You know, Lot's
wife was frozen forever she was. Yeah, I think that was different though,
right, well, arguably, like if you're getting into the uh,
you know, the religious side of things. Feasibly everybody lives forever, if
you know what I mean. Yeah, I mean here on earth, so
congracts. Buddy, you're never leaving. You better hold back in that one
miracle unless you would be here forever. Everything is getting better. I don't
know if you've noticed. So, ah, well they have turf for the
rest of my life forever, because can you imagine having to watch the Vikings
lose for all of eternity? Well, I just assumed that's what I was
siting up for anyway, So I'm not ago. That's the personally, that's
why I hold off on the miracles. Is that what? Because I can't
stand to have this switch pain forever? So if not, if not for
that, you would be like you probably up to five or so? Easy?
Oh easy? Yeah, I don't know. If I don't know if
you alleging that your your breadstick basket is if you can't go the whole hey,
look you keep recurring. I think the waiters just getting you more.
Do you know what I'm saying, You're not really I mean, I'm not
gonna Lie'm not sure how it works. You know, they're not endless in
the sense that you've done something. I think that you just have it astute
servers. Can we agree it feels like a miracle though, Oh absolutely,
man, Oh yeah, when you're here you feel like a saint. So
there you go. Ah, yeah, no, it was. It's so
deeply satisfying. So it puts me in a great mood. And so I
look at the news because, uh, you know, in retrospect, I
don't know if things are getting better. Man, I don't know if they're
getting better at all. A pro Israeli supporter was beat to death with a
megaphone yesterday, and uh, California. I'm not sure the totality of the
information yet. I'm going by witness statements report here for the New York Post,
and you know, please doing the investigative thing. But basically, basically,
a sixty nine year old Jewish man dies after getting into an altercation with
pro Palestinian protesters. This is what Ventura County, so north of LA and
you have people on the scene saying that he was struck in the head with
a megaphone, and I, I, you know, judge from what I'm
reading in the story, I don't know if he went hands on. I
don't know if they were just screaming and somebody, well, I don't know.
There's not a crap ton of information. Here's the story. A sixty
nine year old Jewish man died after falling and hitting his head during an altercation.
Now the reason I bring up the megaphone thing is, according to the
New York Times report, the guys Paul Kessler, by the way, is
a dude's name. According to the New York Times, Kessler was struck in
the head prior to being knocked over. And then they're they're quoting deputies on
this. However, they didn't confirm or deny what led to the fall.
The Jewish Federation of Greater la in a statement so that Kessler was here with
the megaphone. But I didn't mention that assertion Monday, So our authorities didn't,
just the deputies who spoke to La Times. So you know, take
take all of that for what it's worth. It's single sourced. At this
point. Kessler was a counter protester to a pro Palestinian demonstration. You know,
I saw a woman get get laid out in New York yesterday too.
There was video of that. She was confronting a woman who I think two
women actually, but only one went physical, confronting a woman who was tearing
down the posters, and the woman shoved her to the ground. And it's
just crazy. Man. Footage culating on social media of the incident shows a
man lying on the ground with a head injury as two people, including the
two people who are leaned over. One of them is wearing a jacket that
says Free Palestine, who actually came to his aid. According to family,
it was the second rally that Kessler has attendance since October seventh. So again,
I don't know all the details. I just know dude died. He
got a couple people saying that he was hit with a megaphone, then he
went down. I don't know if it was the megaphone strike or him hitting
the ground or what. But you know, like I said, things getting
better man, as society melts down. So there you go. That's how
we're going to start the show today. But we got lots to get to.
Let's operate under the assumption that and and I'm I'm pretty confident that those
documents are real based on statements by law enforcement, what the what the mayor
of Nashville is doing, what the MSNBC d bags are saying. I'm I'm
going to assume those are real, and then we'll go over all the reasons
and all the statements from everybody. But I gotta be honest with you,
man, I I speculated on what some of the manifesto, or at least,
you know, the the incoherent rambling as it's been described, although I
don't know how incoherent in the sense that, like I'm able to understand everything
on there. I don't know that I thought that the Nashville Christian School shooters,
and it's not all of it, it's you know, it's three photographs
encompassing six or seven pages. Somehow, that's worse than I thought it was
going to be. Did anybody have that reaction yesterday? Did you look at
that and go And it's worse in a number of ways. Right, It's
worse in the sense that it's so on the nose, but also it's worse
in the sense that dozens of people knew what was in there, right,
investigators, politicians, lawyers, family, family apparently of some of the victims
they knew what was in there, and excluding the family, all right,
because I again, those are those are individuals suffering from grief, but from
a lawmaker perspective, from a you know, chief of police perspective, from
a mayor's perspective. When I see what they didn't want you to see,
I was absolutely enraged reading that yesterday, especially when you compare and contrast that
with a pick An incident. All right, what was the one where we
had like there was a manifesto in a statement from the parents in like two
minutes that was Florida, right, something that Florida right? Yeah, I
think that's what it was. And people were going, well, what the
hell's going on? Why do we not know what's up here? And a
lot of people thought it was, you know, it was purely motivated by
trans ideology, abudding Christian ideology, right. I think that was kind of
best guest there. It's so much worse than that. It's so much worse
in how you apply the words that you're seeing there and the attitudes to what
is damn near mandatory training in corporate and you know, in corporate environments.
In school environments is championed by elected officials all the way up the food chain
to the president. When you see it manifested there and when you see it
written there, and it's so anger inducing because you realize, or at least
you can speculate what it is you believe they're trying to protect. They're looking
at woke ideology and critical race theory training, which I'm sorry, I don't
know how you don't believe that that was an influence in the mindset according to
what we read there, right, And these are the things that we look
for, Right, These are the the you know, you get some information
out there, they're like, well, they googled this where you know,
this person said this this one time, or this person put a post on
social media that was a repost of this individual. Right, and then we
go we go down all of these roads where it's like, oh, well,
obviously what prompted this person to do what they did was they listened to
uh, they listened to a Glenn Beck podcast, right, or some you
know, some along those lines. And you have to do these contortions to
be able to make that connection there, right, you're making a lead This
stuff's written down, man, This stuff is written down and is wholly within
the language that a lot of people find concerning, because as much as you
want to separate, it's not about hating whites, it's about hating you know,
white ideology or think about the nuances that you've seen there. This is
gruesomely on and so it makes it makes everything more horrific when you realize what
is probably the reason why they didn't want you to see this. It's just
evil, man, It's evil now compounding evil. I don't know what to
say. We'll get into some of the details there and some of the spin
Like you got lay, you got one of these lawyers who is you know,
was fining to keep this stuff out of there. You got MSNBC idiots
putting their best spin on it. Just absolutely blew up yesterday, just absolutely
blew up. And uh, I think that's uh, I think that's where
we're going to start. Plus we got you know, we got moonbats doing
moon bats. It's going to be a busy morning and it's Tuesday, so
uh, you know, we got a lot of time to go and we
also got to talk election stuff. So let me do this. Uh,
let's take a break. We'll come back here in just a few kc O
Day Radio program. This is one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle
and News Talk ninety four to w PTI and the Triad. All right,
welcome back. It is six twenty five here on the KCO Day Radio program.
We got a record. We got ourselves a record. Not a good
one, but we got one. Yes, that's right. I was greeted
with this very exciting news yesterday, according to police in Greensboro, following several
fatal shootings in recent days. Man the news Greensboro Paper's website, news Record
has more pop ups. Now, it's just crazy, all right. Following
several fatal shootings in recent days, the city of Durham is I guess they're
probably not proud to announce that they have shattered the record number of homicides in
a single year. Yes, that's right. The previous record from twenty twenty,
so not that long ago, was sixty one. However, I want
to say they revised that to sixty two, which and like just a few
back this summer, so that was weird adjusting three years later. So,
but but sixty two was the number. Well, now the city of Greensboro
officially lists sixty five following the insanity that we've had over the last week.
So and we yet two months to go. Man, we got two months
to go. I mean it just shows right, there's no limits. No,
it feels like home run record y yeah, little though right, Oh
you think it's like so Si McGuire. No, I'm not implying that they're
juicing the numbers. I don't know how you would do that, but but
you remember, you remember when they finally did break the record though, I
mean, it just got stupid with the numbers because you have maguire do it
first, and it was closed and then Bonds just laid waste to it,
especially when you see like the years and decades before it where those records weren't
smashed, and suddenly it's just like every other ball is going out of the
park. Yeah, well they hit a lot. There's a they hit a
lot over the over the fence this this year. Yeah, the record of
sixty two is no more sixty five the current standing and two months ago.
So I don't know, maybe maybe we could figure out why that is best
show after the show is on the iHeartRadio app search case o day for the
podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All right, good morning everybody, and
welcome back. It is six thirty five. I'm not going to rapid fire
the entire list, so you know, hopefully, hopefully you did some checking,
did some checking. A lot of cities, a lot of municipalities have
elections today, some don't. Some do even more random stuff which is totally
not at all about protecting incumbents. But you know, depending on where you're
listening this morning, you might you might have an election. And when I
you know, we're talking to municipals. So we've got mayors, we've got
city council members, some school board stuff, depending on where you are,
perhaps some issues. Let's see here. Yeah, if you go to ends
sbe dot gov, that's the Board of Elections website. There is a little
fun map where you can click and you can determine what's up in your particular
county. I guess if you don't know. Yeah. Also, I'm looking
at Guildford right now, and for sides it's clicked over to Wake. You
got about thirteen different municipalities. All right, so here's the deal there.
Ross loves this. If you are on a ballot today, Okay, if
you're on a ballot today and you want to say hey to the peeps,
and you reside in one of our official broadcast counties, all right, so
you know, don't if you're listening on iHeartRadio app in Tennessee, this is
not for you, okay, and you live there. But if you are
a candidate on the ballot today and you just want to say hey on the
radio, it's a couple of minutes. You are welcome to call the show.
Ross will vet you and through I don't know, psychic abilities or whatever.
He's got a system. He will vet you and we can do that.
All right. This is normally is this how we do it. Every
year people blast me with the emails, Hey, let's get some skit.
I just don't do that because there's way too many folks out there. There's
way to be It would be weeks of that show if we scheduled everybody.
But this is the opportunity we provide, okay, eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four, especially in municipal elections, just due to the
fact that you know, such a tiny percentage generally of our audience is actually
eligible in that we just we don't overwhelm with it. But today is the
day for municipal elections, and there's a lot of them going on. So
do you guys have stuff up in Wake Force? They're ross, probably probably
doesn't do anything. But I don't see wake for Oh wait, hold,
yeah, here it is Wake Forest Board of Commissioners. I do not see.
Do not see a soil and water race. So I guess you're not
on the ballot, or I guess you're always on the ballot because you don't
officially file. And then people, right, yeah, this country wasn't founded
on PaperWorks, so I can't go down that path. I said, just
take your ballot, take a sharpie and big black sharpie right across the ballot
hayes for sheriff, and give it to the person the machine. They'll know
what that means, will they, And if they don't, just calm a
mule. Don't waste your vote, people don't. We don't use it for
use it for good. Look at all the stuff going on around you right
now, you've got these You got to these idiot elected officials over there in
Nashville. Oh, we can't release we can't release this. It's you remember
how they described it They described it as a blueprint that could be utilized by
others to commit crimes. Did you see a blueprint in there? I don't
see a blueprint. Here's what I saw. I saw. I saw a
person go, Hey, here's what you do. You get some guns,
get some anger, and go to a school, right, And I don't
know that you need to map that out. I'm sorry, Well, we're
gonna I think we all knew it was going to be in it, Like
it's it's not like you it would be so blatant. Yeah, I did.
Like I'm not like, I'm sort of like the Kirk shock face,
like, oh, like I can't believe that was in it. Of course
that was in it. So they're not releasing it because it goes against all
of their narratives. Yeah, your white privilege, white privilege, critical race
theory, all this stuff. It goes again. That's why it's so bad.
It's like a robber stack unsolved mysteries. You know, you don't don't
need to roll them out in the uh in the trench coat there with the
scary music, wondering what's going on here? We all know what's going on.
Anybody with the brain knows what's going on here? And what what what
makes it so much worse is because it was so blatant, you then see
the motivation for why they didn't want to release, right, because you know,
some people speculated they didn't want to release so that they could core focus
on guns, which they did, which they absolutely did. Do you remember
that idiot Nebraska Congress assembly member or whatever just scream at trans rights, trans
people's rights, all that. But you had people that were showing out for
this and admittedly I don't know that she had information about what was in there,
but she was able to operate and and and and and carry through that
lunacy because it was an open book, right because you didn't know what was
in there. But then you start looking at this stuff and you start reading
it, and you're just like, this is everything that people are forcibly being
taught. This is this is this is the this is the inability of individuals
who are who are force fed this information, have it beaten into their head
to make the discernment that lawmaker's claim is being made there, and the moment
it comes out there, you got police issue a statement these are not official
crime scene photos, which is the absolute most enraging spin right because idiots read
down and go, oh, they're saying it's not true, and then they
try to community notes it on Twitter. That's not what they said. They
said, these are not official crime scene photos. If you look at the
photos, you can literally see a squad car in the background. What you
have is you have somebody who had access to this that went, I can't
believe they're not going to put this out and took photos of it. So
like, if you listen to what they actually said, they weren't pushing back
on this being real. MSNBC out there and their way of covering it is
not to address what's in there, but rather to go, you know,
our sources who've seen it all say that this is out of context because if
you read if you had access to everything, the shooter hated everybody, Well,
what the hell does that mean? So you're going to ignore the other
stuff because you say there's more and they have there's other groups I don't like.
You know, the fact is, if you look at the words in
that one where it's like, ah, I hate white, privileged, cracker,
religious folks, blah blah blah, I feel like that's probably pertinent considering
the shooter went to a Christian school. You have lawyers who have been fighting
to keep this out of the hands of the general public sitting down and losing
their damn minds. Listen to this. And lastly, I want to speak
directly to the person who took these images and released them. You are a
viper, you're a member of the law enforcement community, and you have released
evidence has gathered in our most vulnerable moment. You have now allowed this woman
who terrorized our family with bullets to be able to now terrorize us with words
from the grave. How could yeah kind of a person does this? What
kind of a person does this? Okay? And this is not me being
insensitive to the family. Under the law in Tennessee, the family members are
not the crime are not crime victims according to the Sunlight laws. There for
the Sunshine laws, which are you know, access to various pieces of information,
they don't have standing to block in. This is why all of this
has been so absurd, because the police said they were going to release it,
then they said they can't release it because it's part of ongoing court battle.
Except the court battle in question is media outlets suing for release. And
then you had, you had various other folks who stepped forward and said,
are we going to do this? And then all of a sudden claimed that
they didn't have to for reasons that they it doesn't pass the smell test.
And people also want to know what motivates an individual to do this, because
this is the great discussion and debate right now. Well, we see these
stories, these horrific stories, we want to know what's going on there.
Was it a mental health thing? Did the gun make them do it because
somehow it has its own personality? Right? Or pharmaceuticals right, That's another
discussion that people have, but they want to understand it. They want to
better understand it because if you're like me and you believe that mental health is
a component with so many of these things, forget just the pharmaceutical angle.
I want to understand what was going through that individual's head to the best extent
possible. And journal after journal seems like a pretty good start. And this
guy's demon demonizing the member of law enforcement, and they've got a whole investigation,
the chief, the mayor, let's do an investigation. They're going to
look harder for this than they did for I don't know into the bidens.
I mean, just just wait for this thing is getting real stupid, real
quick smart talk all day, w PTI in the triad and FM talk in
the triangle. All right, As as mentioned, many many many municipalities in
North Carolina, election day today, So you need ID. I know that
nobody has any according to what I was told by opponents of voter ID.
So hopefully got that worked out or you all had it, because that's what
normal people do. But regardless, just keep that in mind. So depending
on where you are, and you can go to the Board of Board of
Elections website. I got a handy map. It's listed there, and I
would encourage you to get out there. You know, I don't mind necessarily
grouping municipal elections away from general stuff. That's fine, but you know,
there's a certain sneaky nature to some of the other municipalities that aren't doing it
today and then have like their own days because you know, it's a lot
easier due to the low voter turnout, you tend to get away from presidential
elections. So your vote count. It's the state. Your vote counts now
more than ever. So I you've got that going on. Great and we're
doing our thing where if you are one of the folks on the ballot today
and you're you know, in the triad or triangle or so surrounding areas where
is our broadcast markets, then you're welcome to call the show and say hello
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Russell check to make sure
it's you, and then we'll do this thing. And that's just kind of
an undercurrent throughout the show. We got lots to get to, but let's
grab our first candidate, Jeffrey Hogland, Chapel Hill Town Council. How you
doing, sir, I'm doing a lit today, So talk to me.
Talk to me specifically about chap Let me ask you a question about Chapel Hill
that I found pretty incredible. Actually, every year I wait for that Halloween
story where they're like, nobody come to Chapel Hill and the streets are insane,
and it was remarkably different this year. And I think that's kind of
track in another what some other cities are dealing with, where people are not
flooding to the various downtown areas. So is the economic norm which is apparently
being deviated from Is that a big topic for Canada or what's on the mind
of Chapel Hill voters most of the right now, a lot of them are
on like housing is what most of them are pushing for, right But I'm
the odd one out pushing more for safety and for Dick and opposite to downtown
because most of the people I know live and work there in the downtown area.
And actually for Halloween, they haven't closed down the street the last three
years. Yeah, No, they didn't close down this year. They said
they were, but they didn't. Well we you know, we were dealing
with COVID stuff so to some extent. But this year, honestly, I
thought it was going to be back at it and it wasn't. So I
guess that was just Yeah, they planned to do it from eight to nine
thirty and they just never closed it down. Wow. And it was very
disappointed to what the business is there. They they were expecting a slight increase
of income be they usually bring them a lot of money the Halloween thing.
Sure, absolutely, man, And you know one of you talked about safety.
One of the stories that we covered here on the show was this guy
who went to UNC to the sandwich shop there and brandished a weapon. We
found out that a week prior you've been down the hill at a gas station
done the same thing, and a lot of people were wondering, the hell's
going on over there? Where a guy does this, gets released right away,
does it a week later and nobody bats an eye. So how what
are the conversations with voters about safety? How interested are they in stories like
that not being a thing? Again? A lot of them want it,
But I mean that happens a lot in Chapel Hill, where they've constantly repressed
stories of unsafe things going on, like fissures that are There's been thousands of
car breakings in Chapel Hill that they just don't really report on. There's been
different robbings and things like that, and a few murders and stabbings. And
they just found another body like two weeks ago, just off of Franklin Street.
Oh wonderful. Okay, well you know what, I admittedly I didn't
even remember seeing that. So but look overall Chapel Hill, I think if
you ask people getting away from you know, the old Jesse Hilms comments about
put a fence around a call at the zoo. But remarkably, you know,
when you talk about Chapel Hill. Safety issues are not really what people
are bringing up, right, People, if you go to Chapel Hill,
you generally, at least in my experience, you felt safe going there at
least, And I guess unless people started yelling about some political thing. That's
not the case in many many places in North Carolina right now. So I
guess what are your chances of getting on because Chapel Hill seems like a good
old boys and girls club and probably doesn't like people upsetting the apple carts.
So do you have relationships with any of the current elected officials? No,
I don't have any relationship with any of them. But this year is they're
also kind of weird with Chapel Hill because they've split into two different groups that
are just kind of going at each other. Yeah, and expand on that.
So what do you mean by that? Two different groups going at it?
So there's one group that wants to do identification without any restriction, another
one wants to try to do more protecting like land and parks and stuff.
So that's how those two groups have split this year. What Okay, Well,
I I don't know what the turnout is going to be there, obviously,
I'm just kind of staring at some of the election information. This is
uh, it's a this is a runoff, this is town council. D
just don't want to make sure that I'm accurate here so when people show up,
correct, this is the original. No, this is the main right
now today. A. Sorry, I'm working one of them. I'm working.
Well, yeah, well no, if one of the mayors, if
one of the mayor can win, there will be a runoff after that.
Ah, gotcha, gotcha. Okay, I'm not sure exactly how that rule
is going to work. All right, Well, get out there and uh
and vote. Jeffrey Hoagland, thanks for calling in this morning. Okay,
all right, thank you. All right, there we go. So I
know had a murder there. Yeah, I just remember being I like,
because I saw that, you know, COVID obviously was going to throw a
wrench in the Halloween. But there's you know that one story every year it's
like, don't come to Chapel Hill, and then this year they're like,
nobody came to Chapel Hill, so we didn't have to shut anything off.
I don't I don't know if it's so like mass paranoia or everyone got canceled
for their costumes. I don't know, Man was craziness. I got a
question. So I'm looking at these these idiot just stop oil people, you
know, not content just to throw soup and glue themselves to the frames of
paintings. Now, keep in mind the paintings themselves have protection over them.
They got glass and obviously pretty strong stuff. However, what happened the other
day, man poses a real and I don't know what the full fallout as
he is poses a real threat to in this case, a ninety million dollar
painting. And I got some fash So we're gonna have to get into those
plus candidate calls. And were you surprised by the manifesto? Is that exactly
what you thought you'd see on? All right, Good morning everybody, and
welcome is seven out of seven? Did do ca COKA Radio program? Welcome
our number two A reminder it is Tuesday, November seventh, and across the
state of North Carolina, multiple municipalities, I should say a lot of municipalities.
The list is pretty extensive here find themselves with municipal elections. So maybe
a city council race could be a mirror race like City of Durham has a
mayoral race. Let's see here, let me go to one of the rural
counties. Let me go to like Randolph, right, Okay, yeah,
so like Ashborough's got a bunch, high Point has, uh has quite a
few. So I would encourage you if you're not one hundred percent sure what's
up, swing by the Board of Eds or the Board of Eds Board of
Elections website which is nc SPE dot gov. We just google it, that'll
come up and uh check it out and uh if it's you, they'll make
the time today. Man, these are the kinds of elections where just a
few people can swing stuff. And lord knows, at the municipal level,
we got buckets of insanity, which we spend, you know, every day.
It seems like we got something like how is that person in any way
in a position where they should be leading anything like. So if if at
any point this year you're like, ah, this person who represents you know
where I live is a lunatic, then this is your opportunity if they're running,
to go do something about it. Okay, And with that in mind,
if you are a candidate for one of these municipal elections in either the
triad or triangle where we broadcast and you want to say hey on the radio,
this is what we do because if not, then at Ross said emails
all the candidates. It's a nightmare, and we just don't do that.
So this is the equal opportunity that we are providing. So if you call,
he'll Rosse, will do a little making sure it's you, and then
then we'll chat. Okay, all right, cool, cool, that's going
on while we hit on a wide variety of different stories. The number again
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. I have a question.
So you know, in the criminal justice system, when you get into
like you know, burglary, theft, assault, there's a lot of crimes
out there that have a a breaking point where they transcend misdemeanor and move on
to felony. So, like you know, theft is a good example,
especially because you saw what California did, right. So it used to be
if you went in and you shoplifted and it it I think it was five
hundred at the time. If it was under five hundred, you could you
could be in misdemeanor land, with some exceptions based on previous convictions. But
and then once it got over that now you're into the felony land right well,
California, if you remember, they adjusted upward that number to what was
like seven fifteen I think it's up to a thousand in some places, which
was absolutely focused on not giving a crap or doing anything. And then obviously
you saw what happened right people would go. You had there was people,
there were videos of people shoplifting who were doing the math. They were doing
the math on what they were stealing. So I point this out because then
once you get into that felony level, there's not a super felony. So
I saw this story yesterday where you got these stop oil moonbats. Once again,
they're in a in a art gallery, although they went a little different
rather than bringing soup or you know, coming out and uh and gluing themselves
to the frame. Keeping in mind that the photos tend to have this glass,
this protective layer over the front of it. On the video you see
them in their cute little T shirts banging away with hammers. It is time
to once, it is time to just so oil it. Politics is famous
politics. So your team four team minions will die due to if we don't
history, if we do and if we do family were oil to try to
place the accent. That dude sound Scottish right The second one, I don't
know. Man a hard time, no offense to our our wonderful UK listeners,
you know, I'm sure both of them. I just have a hard
time taking that dude seriously because I started and then I have like this fat
bastard visions with the accent there. But the reality is they smash up that
glass. I don't know from a damage perspective, but I do know that
that painting is valued at ninety million dollars. This is the London Art Gallery
there the painting which goes back to was it sixteen fifty one? There you
go, which it's it's basically a naked chick with a sheet over her staring
at a cupid So is that their beef because it doesn't look like she's doing
anything that requires fossil fuels. And if women want to lay around scantly clad,
you know, go ahead. I don't. But how do you deal
with somebody who let's I again, let's say the paintings destroyed. It doesn't
appear to be. I don't know, but let's say that they figure out
a way to get in there, maybe they get some some one of those
hammers used to break windows. I don't want to give these idiots any ideas.
How do you even begin to deal with one of these idiots who's,
let's face it, none of that Nobody in the Just Stop Oil group is
ever going to have ninety million dollars. Okay, they're not nobody. Maybe
they want a lottery at some point, but they're not going to and most
people aren't. But really, really this group, nobody in that group appears
to have the aspirations to go out and conquer the world of business. What
do you do to somebody who destroys a ninety million dollar painting, because you're
obviously you've already jumped into the felonious level, but there's no cap on that.
How do you begin to punish somebody who destroys an object that's worth ninety
million dollars but you're gonna make him sell his bons? I mean what,
they'll never replace it. And I don't excuse me, but I don't trust
the authorities in London to even, you know fully, from a criminal justice
perspective, do anything about it. How do you begin to deal with a
ninety million dollar destruction. And I don't know the answer to that, but
I they keep making their way in there, the hammers and their soup and
everything, and go off in their little diatribes Roquevy Venus from sixteen fifty one
in the London National Gallery. And I haven't seen a follow up on potential
damage there. All right, let me grab a phone call, Oh,
Jamal, what's going on? Jamal? To quote Sheriff Grady, you shoot
them, You shoot them full of holes and make them look right, grated
cheese. That's how you stop that. But Jasey, they don't even most
of the officers in London don't carry guns. And I, admittedly I don't
know if I'm on team shoot people over an even a ninety million dollars painting.
So when it comes to this about the thing I was talking called about
Nashville, when you play that story, I'm like, yeah, these people
got to be shot. I'm serious, because no one respects this property.
If people have right to bed, right to defend the property. But when
it comes to that thing, we knew, Casey, if you ever want
to play this, Cleo Music called it just to be clear manifest Okay,
So I just want everyone to know where we're going, So go right ahead.
Yeah, okay, you called it that day on the show You and
Ross was talking about it when it happened. He was like, why haven't
they released a mano for you? And Ross lost out the head of Miss
Koleo music playing in the background. Then I called it in and said the
same thing that manifesto. Show all the anti white racism that is out here,
how they have allowed it to fester in schools, how they have made
white scenes like it is the devil, it is evil being white, you
are evil, and things like that, to the point to where this transgender
already confused because she didn't know when she say, like me, how I
like who I am? But you can't like who you are yourself. Okay.
So she's a girl who's trying to pass her life as a boy and
they wouldn't accept her. She was going to a Christal school. They probably
said no. She got this notebook casey all killing kids, killing white people,
and that's what it said. This thing was horrific, and they chapped
it. But if as soon as soon as the black folk got shot down
in Jacksonville, oh you released the manifesto, why because they didn't release it,
and the people in Nashville in the legislation in Nashville that sheriff needs to
be punished. I mean to excuse me, that police chief needs to be
punished, and that man needs to be punished because simple a plane. They
read it, they saw it, and they didn't fit the narrative they wanted
to they fit. You had those idiots down there in the Tennessee that those
legislation, Oh, it's this guns. We're being racially striding in of this
because you're throwing us out because we tried to do it, and so wrection
here in Tennessee. Oh, y'all trying to target black people. Well,
if we actually knew this manifesto, they wanted to took the hind point out
there like that because because the people could have said, well, you contributed
to the anti white racism. You're lying this people calling you out one hundred
that's a hundred, one hundred thousand percent. And it's just it's another crack
in the do uh you know this dual system becoming incredibly apparent to people where
uh, you know, we have two criminal justice systems and we also have
the willingness to manipulate through positions of power to protect ideological uh you know,
uh priorities in this case CRT and uh and all of that. And I
just again, I thought it would be more nuanced. Uh it was not
nuanced. And if this one guy is saying, well, you have to
see all of it because they hate a lot more people than just that,
fine, put it all out there. I want to know everything there is
to know, man, And to me Ksey. Now they say they need
to respect to victims of a quid. Let me tell you something. We
live in an age. Well all you've got to do the victim of a
quan they are not They're not legally, but they're not legally. I just
in as callous as this sounds, because I still I feel for the families.
Under the law, they are not victims of the crime. As far
as having standing to protect this particular piece of evidence, they do not have
that standing under Tennessee law. I haven't seen anyone even dispute that. So
I just want to be very clear. They are not quote crime victims under
the under the way that the law reads as it pertains to the release and
non release of information. So taking it and do you remember Casey Deah real
quick? Do you remember they tried they got mad at the police officers were
responding and shooting her and saying they shot her like that because she was transgender,
they were bigger. Do you remember they actually said that too? In
this the NBC wanted do they respond on her so oddly because she was transgender?
Why did they have been sure? Here? Look like they shot her
while she was down. They actually tried to turn her indeed, mad Democrat
lawman makers instead of saying it was six victims seven and said she was a
victim, and she was a victim and she was murdered to like she did
something white. The anti white racism is real and the only people that can
stop it, I hate to say it, case White people gonna have to
look in the mirror and say, is it worth our kids dying? Is
it worth us dying? Now? As a black man, No, it
ain't worth your dying. But that I say, as much as I can,
I speak out as much as I can when I see racism coming from
my community or any other community of color. That will get people in trouble
because you know, they say if you're black and you you know, people
can't say nothing against you, but Casey was just evil. I meant,
at the at the most adult level, it should prompt people to consider if
running these you know, these white fragility seminars and the CRT training uh,
if that messaging is what they is, what they wanted to be because of
the way that some people interpret it, that's the most sane way to say
it. I obviously I feel there's a lot going on there, but they
didn't even want to have that conversation. And thanks for the call there,
Jamal. And just just to be clear, by the way, whether it
is the shooter in Jacksonville, the guy who went into that grocery store up
in Buffalo, New York, or this Christian school shooter, if the police
want to Swiss cheese them after they've shot a bunch of people, I'm cool
with that. I'm good man, right. The only caveat should be you're
in the commission of a crime. You're a danger. It's to people,
the law enforcement, but also the people around there. You've already decided to
start shooting people, you know, load them up, man, don't care.
I am one hundred percent with that. But what this tells me is
these particular lawmakers. They don't want to have a conversation about this. They
don't want to revisit whether it's a good idea. Who sit there and bang
into kids' heads that if they're white, they have white privilege and they're horrible
and they're inherently racist, and they don't want to have it as evidence.
By the fact that they saw this, and if they are older than six,
they realized that at the very least it should spur a conversation, and
they went, no, we're not going to do that. Let's not even
put that out there. And now they're witch hunting whoever threw it out there.
So those are not folks who want to, you know, have a
discussion or negotiate, because right anytime they've decided, they're going to go and
say, well, obviously the guns, you know, the guns at fault
here. They want to have a big national quote unquote discussion what can we
do how, you know, how can we do better? And they want
to look like the adults in the room, and those are those are the
same folks who who hid Those are the same folks who hid their you know,
hit a report card so their parents didn't see it. Even though you
know the parents know when the when the report card's coming through and little kids
scheme will never work. That's what happened. How do you have a conversation
with with with those individuals? You can't. Whether it's the chief of police,
the mayor, or any of these folks out there deciding that it's more
important to get to the bottom of who released this than why that individual shot
up that school. I don't know that people can have an adult discussion with
you, as evidenced by your your sneakiness, your willingness to obpuskate and now
act outraged. I can't take any of you seriously. All right, it
is seven to twenty three, lots to get to and we'll do it coming
up. Hang on your day Smarter one six one FM Talk and News Talk
ninety four five w PTI more with Case starts now. All right, good
morning, it is seven thirty five Koka Radio. What does somebody up said
it before? If you don't like how I say the word rule, well
too bad. The whole pronunciation guy is don't care now the personal I'm busy
memorizing other stuff like, oh, I don't know the whole series and chain
of events that really might be part of an actual adult, larger discussion with
the Covington shooter, Like because somebody sent me an email and I understand what
you're saying, right, does did an nobody thought that the Covington shooter did
it because you know, maga extremist, all right? Well, I don't
know. Maybe somebody thought that, but most people assumed it had to do
with, you know, gender identity, trans identity perhaps not receiving the because
of the religious aspect of the school and how that individual's choices don't necessarily comport
obviously with Christianity as it is taught in most instances instances, although there are
some churches that have some interesting interpretations. So I don't know that that was
surprising. But here's what I mean by this. There are a lot of
folks, and not just laymen such as myself, but a lot of people
within the medical field that aren't necessarily on board with the transition that was made
in gender dysphoria and gender identity and a host of other mental health issues that
surround it. You know, one of the best examples that is given and
I've heard Shapiro use it, but I've also heard others, is the suicide
rate among trans individuals is on par only with There's only one one group that
has a suicide rate that high in modern history, and that is Jews in
occupied Europe during World War Two. And there wasn't even a deviation with a
lot of you know, what you would say is trans acceptance. Okay,
so back not that many years ago, there was there was obviously the gender
dysphoria discussion, but there was higher instances of depression, anxiety, anxiety disorders
and other things. And if you don't treat those things because you've now decided
that no, this is fine. Now everything's fine, and we'll just get
a doctor to do a consult for thirty minutes and then off they go and
they're good to go for gender reassignment or hormones if they're kids, or any
of the rest of it. These are the big discussions that we're having.
But if you have an individual who is going through this and perhaps does have
some of these other issues that they're dealing with, which you know, contribute
to contribute to thoughts of nobody likes me, society hates me. What does
it matter anyway? All of the horribleness that is wrapped up in depression and
other issues regardless of gender identity or any of the rest, but that people
deal with and seek help for. Then you throw in a healthy dose of
well, it's not that nobody likes you, but let me tell you who
really doesn't like you. I don't know how you don't at least wonder if
if that sticks right? If you're looking to figure out who it is who's
made your life so miserable, and you're told, even though you know it's
a white individual, but you're told that there is just you know, all
of the horribleness in the world is rot from you know, crackers or you
know, white white privilege religions like are we not allowed to ask if that
in some way shapes an individual's worldview? And and I'll give you the other
side of this, right, it is that same in that same vulnerable position
that one may find themselves in in what what the Covington shooter through the gender
identity path and and uh, you know some of the stories that we've seen
with past incidents, that is a that is a vulnerable person and it's it's
what you see. You see examples of this when people are trying to get
folks to join their their hate group. Okay, is give you an example.
It's really easy to go to somebody in a rural community, yes I
use that word, you're welcome, sir, that has been devastated by uh,
you know, significant job losses, economic downturn, and attempt to convince
that individual. Look, the reason this is happening is you got you got
all these you got all these folks moving in or the you know, the
people that are keeping you down. Are this this other ethnic group or religious
group or whatever it is. And if you're somebody who is so low and
you're looking for somebody to blame, that kind of grooming can be very,
very successful. Right. So that's that's why when you actually get you get
a peek under the curtain at some of these like the Aryan nation groups and
stuff like that, you'll realize that there's a lot of similarities in the background
of people who go in that direction. So and you may say, well,
one's apples, one's oranges, that's fine, I'm talking about people who
are in a vulnerable emotional state. So if you then have what is now
the societal expectation of CRT training that is taught in a particular way with certain
language, certain struct and the and the way that you go about that,
and you never for a moment go, could this backfire in certain circumstances.
Then you're not having honest discussions. You're not willing to. So that's that's
how I kind of approach this. And look, not all cases are the
same. And there's plenty of people that sat through a CRT training session and
went this is this is BS right. But for others who are seeking meaning
or somebody to blame or whatever it may be, they may it may not
interpret it as we're trying to teach you. There's one thing. They may
see it as now you're telling me who's to blame? So, and and
that's why, frankly, you got you got to get the all of it
out there so that people can really deep dive it. And I expect the
spin will be there. That's fine, But you know, I got eyes
I can read, and uh, maybe it will help formulate how I feel
about stuff and what I talk about because I have this wonderful opportunity to do
so each and every morning with you guys. So that would be the that
would be the deeper dive on my thought process to answer your email. All
right. A Washington, DC firefighter has been dismissed after he got a call
was responding to a nine to one one emergency call, however, decided to
stop at Chick fil A on the way there. Now, it wasn't it
wasn't that they got the call and then they ordered. What they had done,
according to the report here is they had pre ordered Chick fil A,
and prior to the nine to one one call coming in, they had on
the radio said that they were going to, you know, get something to
eat, and they use the app to pre order the food. So they
actually were on the way to the Chick fil A and when the nine to
one one call came in, they were just entering the parking lot. However,
rather than getting out of there, they made the decision because it was
two of them, but only one's been fired. Well, we already ordered,
already paid, and we're already here. And over the course of what
they described as just a couple of minutes tops they received their Chick fil A
food and then proceeded to the nine to one one call, which was of
a it was a person experiencing chest pains. Yeah, they're firefighter EMTs.
Yeah, so call of a fifty seven year old woman with chest pains and
they stopped to get their Chick fil A. So, now Chick fil A
is pretty good. I'm just saying, you know, I'm I'm a fan.
If I'm getting Chick fil A, it's an exciting day for me.
However, I can understand why people are questioning that decision, although I'm also
reminded of the Hangary ross, you know, the Hangary commercials with that Snickers
Who does that? Right? They got somebody who's like changes of metamorphosis because
they're angry, and then they get a Snickers and everything's fine. Like,
I don't know, if somebody's angry, do you really want them responding from
an EMT standpoint or do you want to get a little something in their belly?
Man? I have questions, but yeah, I probably shouldn't do that.
So all right, right, seven forty five Kcoday Radio. I'm not
sitting now. The guy's Matt. He thinks I'm busting up. I'm I'm
joking with you, sir. There's just some words that muscle memories. It's
not going to happen, so don't worry about it. Don't worry about it.
Glad you're out there race stagic. He's out there at the weather channel.
Yo, good morning, Yeah are you? I'm good man? I
I look, I just assumed you guys would split home and home, so
don't worry about it. Oh, I wasn't. My wife was shocked at
the lack of emotion I had. I said, bad when you're used to
it. I was just expected to trust me. They even got lucky was
able to get the ball back. That had to be Dak's best game statistically
like two years. Right, Am I wrong on this? I am not
a stats guy. Romo had great, great stats, and what did to
get them didn't get them anything. I'm a championship guy. Let a woman
ruin him? Well, yeah that too, just like Kelsey. Right.
I'll say this because I don't really have like, I don't have a dog
in the fight, so to speak. And I was I had some friends
or Eagles fans and some friends. There were Cowboys fans watching that, and
just because somebody watching that was that was the most exciting game I watched all
weekend. Yeah, it was pretty good, but I didn't have like,
I didn't have the stress attached to it. I just don't watch. No
stress here. And look, the Vikings game was pretty damn exciting too,
going it was. It was now, but that's some of my idiot friend
fans. Folks are posting videos and them shaving their eyebrows off, and I'm
not okay, and that's not no, no, the Falcons got huge problems.
They got problems a quarterback. It did more than just that. But
listen, next few days really not much changing. You know, we got
fires burning now, especially western parts of the state, and there are air
quality alerts in the mountains, believe it or not, in some of those
areas where wildfire is burning, and that means there may be a little smoky
at times of further west you go maybe into the triad depending on when direction,
but especially further west a little with smoking haze in the air. Otherwise
beautiful near or just above eighty. Over the next couple of days, by
Friday, we will back it off a little bit, a cloudy sky back
to the upper sixties, which is pretty more in line with what we should
do this time of year, and we should end up with a decent weekend
Veterans Day on Saturday, Chili near sixty and then near sixty Sunday partly sunny.
Here's a couple of records coming in. Let's go try it first today
eighty two, Tomorrow, eighty Thursday eighty two, so we'll get close to
that in the triangle eighty four, eighty and eighty three, so we may
be threatening records the next few days. Advertise sixty four will get to that
and below that as we look ahead toward the weekend especially Okay, all right,
well appreciate it and we'll talk in an hour, sir, yep,
okay, there go Race Stagic from the Weather Channel. I didn't know this
was a problem. Apparently it's a problem. Disney's got an issue, and
they have a polite request should you be planning a vacation that you don't do
this. I'll explain coming up next on the KCO Day Radio program, Keeping
you connected. This is ninety four to five WPTI in the Triad and one
six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, welcome back. It
is seven fifty three here on the KCO Day Radio program. Roz. I'm
gonna email you this because they this is what they say, the we're If
you didn't hear Thong Gate yesterday. We have a follow up to that,
so what are the Eagles coaches? And we tweeted the video out yesterday.
It was one of those plays that ended up on the sideline, which is
not that unusual, and he had some big linemen stand in front of him,
so he didn't see the players coming in off the field, and he
got he got Wayley not hit too hard. And you know, the dude's
a former player, coach, he's he just brushed it off. But when
he fell over for a moment, you see his underwear, and damned if
it didn't look like dude was wearing a thong. And he's dressed in all
black. He's got you know, black athletic tray, you know, pants
on. He's got a black long sleep pull over. And this thing was
bright red and so it really popped on screen and that obviously that that prompted
a that prompted a discussion on the internet, says these things do? Did
he just go like all shaggy like nineteen ninety nine? It wasn't me or
what he say, all right, So so he now claims he took to
Instagram following that and claimed that in in fact, it was simply I guess,
an optical illusion. I guess. He said that he was wearing obviously
bright red underwear. However it was not, and then he shouted out the
company that makes it, which is a company I'm not familiar with PSD,
I guess. And the problem is if you go to their website, you
look, they make you know, normal men's boxers, tidy, whitey variety,
and then full length. They also and IoT's athletic gear. But they
also sold thongs to men. So he's trying to say that the red was
like a pattern and it's like a mixture of flesh color and red and just
looked like a thong going up as it. So I sent you. I
sent you the actual it's called christ I sent you the actual underwear that some
people are claiming it was. No, there's no way. I'm looking at
it right now. No way, No, not a chance. Not a
chance, dude. It's okay. Just you know, say you lost a
bet. Now, this is the Tailor Swift effect. It starts coming to
games and then the coaches are like, dude, we need to wear underwear
like Tailor Swift. We need female underwear. This is that you're feminizing the
league. Okay, I'll go with that. Yeah, but I'm not buying
what this guy's laying now. He's lying. And disney Land and Disney World
have run into a little issue which I was unaware of and sounds pretty horrific,
but also I guess I kind of understand it because the lines the lines,
right, So Disney has has an issue. Apparently they have noticed that
there is a problem with people who are in line don't want to leave line
and are like, well, if you gots to go, you gots to
go, and are literally defecating in line. And there's a lot of people
who have posted little stories about this, about literally seeing it or coming across
it. In fact, one of the workers for Disney, Yeah, here
we go, who works on Rise of the Resistance, that's what that's the
Star Wars attraction, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, which normally boast
an hour and a half average average line time, said that they have started
referring to one of the parts of the line, which is actually in a
tunnel as well. It's it's a four letter word four pecs that starts with
the T and then so it would work nicely with tunnel. I don't I
don't know if I can say that word on the air or I should,
but anyway you get it. Yeah, cast member literally referring to what what
they call it, some kind of the poop Paul Way call it that,
I guess, And so Disney wants you to not not do that if you
could. Is this an I guess I've never heard of this ross you go
to You go to Disney obviously more often than I do. Is this a
I mean, you got to like keep watching where you're walking. I've never
encountered that ever. Is this because this is because you let anyone in the
country, right, well, you don't let him, and before you know
it, they're pooping in from the dumbos apriate Brazilian too appropriate? Okay,
well it's Disneyland and Disney World. Maybe it's just people from San Francisco on
vacation. Oh so it's not disney World just Land. No, it is
both. Oh wow yeah, yeah, yeah, that is horrible. Uh.
Previously, former cast members, including two who wrote books, actually spoke
of this, claiming that their time working in the nineties and two thousands contained
many instances of a career. Why this was only now coming to coming to
the public's attention. Maybe they're protesting the removal of the old fast pass system.
They can't they can't go out of line because then I got to go
back in line and wait another two hours to get in the right I guess.
Uh. One. In one instance, a woman was in line for
the Indiana Jones Adventure and could burst into the contryroll room and went on the
floor in front of the operators. Get out every down and then good morning.
By the way, it is eight o seven, every down, And
then I should just remember Casey sometimes you should just stop exploring the story.
And I should have taken my own advice, because I clicked through on that
Disney story, which was kind of a small it was a short version of
it to the longer story the New York Post put out, and then finally
threw to some blog postings from former Disney staffers or cast members or whatever they
call them. Cast members, right, yeah, cast members who actually back
in twenty fifteen penned a book about their times working at Disney going back to
the nineties to early two thousands, along with some blogs they run that current
cast members are posting little spy reports and apparently it's not a new problem.
But there's a lot more people doing it, and that is people who are
standing in line gotta go, and then just are just shamelessly go. And
I thought it was I thought it when I read this initially, we're talking
about people who are like, all right, well that when I get near
that bush, I'm going to go in that bush. Right. I was
wrong? Was that is some of it? However, it's you don't think
you want to know this. You want to know this if only so that
when you go to Disney you can keep your head on a swivel man,
all right. So they give numerous examples. I gave you one where at
the Star Wars ride, literally some woman burst into the control room and just
went there in front of the people operating the ride. However, in there
on the blog and in the book they talk about multiple incidents of other popular
spots to do that, including multiple incidents of people who are on the It's
a Small World ride and have literally just hung it out over the side of
that. Dude. Dude, that sounds bad because you're on a boat with
other people there that you're isolated. Bro, maybe you're in the back,
right, because that's not like you're isolated in your own little you know,
cubby area, going through a tunnel or something like on the People Mover.
Certain aspects of that, you know, where you'd be alone in the darker,
you could go off the track. Wait wait, wait, why have
you Why are you thinking this through? I mean you brought up the subject
and I've been there, so yeah, my brain is going in different directions
and I'm thinking about it. I'm like, so if you if I had
to ross, if you had to, that would be your choice. Yeah,
because there's a certain there's certain sections of the People Mover where it cuts
through Tomorrow Land and Space Mountain, so you're like on the outside of and
it's very dark, and you're in your own compartment. So you wouldn't want
to go where you're sitting, obviously, because then you'd have to drive it
right around with it. But if you want off the sidetrack, it'd be
fine. It'd be in the dark, so no one would know, So
that would probably be your go to. But I think the the reason this
is happening is people spend an estimate, it's a rough estimate, a billion
dollars to go to Disney. So you spend a billion dollars and you go
to Disney and you've got the family or whatever, and it's all this stress,
and then you're waiting in line for like, I'm gonna wait for two
hours to go in the Space mount if it's busy, and then you've got
to go. But you're like, dude, I'm just gonna hold it because
I spend all this money and we've been waiting in line for an hour and
a half and if I get out out of line, I got to go
back in line. I gotta wait another two hours. I'm just gonna hold
it, and you hold it, and before you know it, you drop
trow and you go because you can't hold it any longer. That's what's happening,
according to the Fast employees. Previously, incidents had mostly been limited to
people going number one okay, rarely okay, But however it has now transitioned
to a lot of incidents. In fact, it prompted a code change,
which among you know, they got all all little secret codes in their own
language, especially on the radio, because it's all about not letting the guests
know anything's ever wrong. So what used to be known as a code H
is now it could be either a code H or a code HP. Previously,
a code H was an indication to janitorial services to come clean up where
some horses had been, right, which is that's obviously a thing you got
to deal with. However, they've now because it's dead, it's it stood
for horse, you know, manure whatever. Now they've had to alter it
so that they know what they're getting into. Other rides with multiple incidents,
and I'm not super familiar with these, you're gonna have to help me out.
According to the blog folks, there these seven dwarfs mind train brutal not
want to be in the back. If you went, you'd want to be
in the bag. But like if it's a person's in the front, because
that that thing moves at speed, dude, So that's they said, that
thing's clicking along. Okay, I have no idea. I have no idea.
I just I have been on It's a small world, but in la
it's it's not a ride where you sit back and enjoy the animatronics and the
music. It keeps repeating. You know, it's not you're whipping through some
minds right right, but with it's a small word. You may not be
at speed, but like already that SAPs the soul being in there. I
can't even imagine if now you gotta you already want to you know, you
already want to like drug yourself so you don't have to listen to the singing
in there, But now you've got to deal with somebody doing that right on
the boat in front of what country? The specify? What? What the
is there? Like a certain country and that's like the most popular that digging
for a cry, bigots, which country would you go? No? I
don't even know which countries are in there? It was so long. I
mean, it's all the countries of the world. It's like every continent.
Let's see here what other lads they Now they don't have people mover listed in
front of Botswana, you bigot, stop it. I think what you say
with the people? But doesn't that go over people? Right? Are people
walking under that thing? Right? Like I said, certain portions. Yes,
it's a track that goes all across the park through tomorrow Land, but
a lot of it is also in the dark in a tunnel, so out
of tunnels. See. So here's some of the other attractions they talked about
EPCOT. I don't know what they mean by that. That's a that's a
big thing, big thunder Mountain rail that's also that is that's a nightmare if
you're in the back. That's another one that moves at speed, The Navvi
River Journey. I think the water probably that's the Avatar one. Okay,
yeah, that makes sense. Okay, so but so basically, these are
the rides they're listening and the ones they are probably gonna have the longest lines
too, that's my point. Yeah, yeah, no, I'm with you
man. It's it's tracking now. Doesn't say anything about the Haunted house though,
I would think that would be you can just blame it on the ghosts.
Yeah, that's what I'd be like, Oh my gosh. Yeah,
and uh what was the other one? Uh yeah, the Haunted mansion was
in there. There's one other scrolling down in here. Oh whatever, you
get the gist. I'm not going to dig. Oh, Twilight Zone tower.
So that's that's the Hollywood Studios one. So there you go, in
case you need another thing to worry about. And by the way, that
one billion dollar average, cause that's per person too, right, so oh
yeah, you know that's per person, not per family. But it's funny
because then they have people reacting to it, and instead of being like,
hey, other people stop doing that, they're like, well, Disney should
take all that money they're gouging us for and build more bathrooms. Right,
But if the incident is they don't want to get out of line, then
I don't know that that's going to help, you know what I mean.
I mean they could set upties throughout the line, but that'd be sort of
like, yeah, because what you want in the bunch of port potties chilling?
Oh, that is so all what is wrong with people? Man?
Maybe just maybe just eat better and it would be like a Disney port of
potty, So it would be like amazing, super advancing and have all these
crazy features on it, and it'd probably get I don't I don't feel like
that's necessarily the case, but whatever you can do it one can dream,
man, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four
quickly, Just as as we have been doing today is municipal elections. So
there's not the big ones. Big ones are next year in that sense,
but I would argue that they're all big ones because the closer you get to
local, you know, largely, the more impact it has on your life
bus the more control you're able to exert. So go to the Board of
the Elections website if you don't know what's necessarily going on in your your town,
because a lot do, but some don't, and scroll down. They
got a fun little map. You can click on the county and it'll show
all the listings per county. And if you know you live there, get
out and do it. Man, get out and get out and vote.
Have your voice heard it. It will be a low turnout election. Therefore,
you know, as a percentage of the vote you're you're you're providing more
influence and as a result of that, we have the opportunity as we do.
If you are one of the individuals running for office today, you're on
a ballot in one of the communities where we broadcast, you want to say
hey, for a few minutes of the audience, call Ross will vet you
to make sure it's you, and we will provide that opportunity, which is
just a really lazy way of us doing it, but also a better way
because we got we have we have such a broadcast footprint. If we interviewed
everyone is on a ballot this it would be weeks of this show just doing
that, and we wouldn't be able to get to the you know, important
Disney stories that are out there. Now. People are telling me the rides
they would go on. Okay, all right, this wasn't I wasn't wanting
to create a contest. Okay, I was trying to shame this behavior.
So let's let's approach it from that direction. All right, eight sixteen though,
let's do this. We get some calls lined up. Also, we
got a little movie news I'm gonna slip in there. And yesterday Donald Trump,
we got to talk about this. So Donald Trump testifying in court,
and we don't have video, but we do have a lot of real play
by play, including conversational quotes from a lot of reporters that are calling this.
And I got to tell you, this thing sounds like a train wreck
up there in New York and between this judge and Trump and the lawyers,
and again you're you're getting it secondhand, but you're getting it from multiple reporters
with you know where the j just scolding Trump every time he went to answer
something, and then Trump's got a piece of paper, and then Trump went
after the judge, and then they were really trying to shape his answers.
And then somebody found that the judge likes to post half naked photos on bodybuilding
websites, so that creepy factor got entered in there. But I saw nothing
that leads me to the conclusion that this is anything but a bit of a
kangaroo court. And that is being polite. But we'll give you the details.
You can be the judge and your calls coming up. Hang on three,
let's grab a phone call on the Disney and sanity before I get to
a few other things. Ray, what's up, hey, kc Hey?
Back in nineteen eighty six. Back in nineteen eighty six, I work custodial
in Frontierland and Disney World, and there was a young girl to be about
ten years old, and she wasn't standing in line. There was no really
reason other than I thought that'd have been a cultural thing. But she just
dropped the squad right there in Frontierland on the street and took care of business.
Well it is, and I was kind of lawless, took it too
hard, I guess she did. When I when I first saw this one,
I thought people were kind of pulling out a vision. But the other
thing was I assume at Disney there's going to be accidents with kids because it's
full of kids, right, and kids have accidents, maybe not at ten,
but obviously younger. Like, I get that one hundred percent. The
best I could tell, these are grown adults they're talking about, so like,
I mean, yeah, I hadn't heard wrong, I had not.
I hadn't even heard that that was happening. But I guess it's it's the
whole New World got out. Whatever. You're glad you got out, sir.
So that's what you'd be dealing absolutely, all right? Yeah, no,
Look, I like, you know, a toddler, I got it.
Okay, that's just that's part of doing the business that Disney does,
right, you got if you haven't. If you have a business that caters
to children, you're gonna have children related incidents. I'm not at all surprised
by that. These are adults. Man. That woman who busts into control,
that's an adult. So all right, you get the gist. I'm
sorry. I only had to revisit it because then I saw the list of
rides, and I needed Ross's opinion on whether that was a good rider or
not to do that. Apparently the ones that move at great speed not a
good option. So hey, man, do you mean ross You ever see
the swingy chairs at like carnivals right where you know? Yeah, of course,
yeah, Okay, I was scarred in high school from going on those
things because I'm going around, I'm having a grand old time, and all
of a sudden I am covered in uh vomit, right because because of you
know, just the momentum of it just carried it at a high rate of
speed and it hit me in about two other people square, Yeah, they'd
be so bad, and it was. And by the way, and when
we got done, I figured it was a kid I knew from school and
he got a nickname and it was the whole thing. But yeah, that
scarred me for life. So you could put me on a high speed ride
and somebody's got other things. But like that person didn't mean to do it.
They just you know, their stomach didn't agree with them. These are
people making active decisions. That's the problem here, all right. Let me
flip over a couple other things. So yesterday, yesterday the Trump took the
stand, and it was a dumpster fire, I guess would be the best
way to describe it. The nearly two hours of no, I guess it
was actually more than two hours. About the two hour mark where things got
really dicey at about two hours into his testimony, Trump and remember this is
reporting from reporters that are in there. There is no cameras, right,
they're not streaming this. The judge made a decision not to which I can't
imagine why that is. Trump at one point pointed the judge and accused him
of fraud and called the state attorney general a hack, which, by the
way, that woman may post more updates on Twitter daily on this than the
reporters are doing. It started over a couple things. One was this this
direction from the judge telling Trump to simply answer the questions. The judge felt
that Trump was too lengthy, he was quote giving speeches instead of direct answers.
However, it went into a really uncomfortable place because, according to the
reporting, the judge at one point strengthened the directive and was telling Trump,
if it's a yes or no question, you need to answer yes or no,
which I have a real problem with that. And here's why. If
you're especially on cross if you're asked a question and that individual who's out to
get you. Right, they're prosecuting you, that's their job, and could
word a question and I don't know if I have an examp per se,
but some questions are not simply yes or no. Well, look, most
lawyers will tell a client that goes on the stand, you want to give
us short answers as possible. Good luck. Get Trump to do that.
However, demanding that they simply say yes or no, there could be a
question posed where both a yes and no could be seen as perjury. Right,
this is this is this is the danger you run. So if you're
asked a question that's not a simple yes or no, and the judge is
not letting you respond as to maybe why it's not as simple yes or no,
I don't know how that's in a court setting, how that's legal.
Maybe some lawyer listening can explain that to me. Yeah, No, I
agree with you, because I've seen things before, like documentaries about like they
say like if you're questioned by a police and say your lawyer isn't there and
you're still talking, like the best thing you can do is answer yes,
no or maybe because there's no like, it's harder to define what you're saying
and get yourself trap yourself in a lie that way, right, But if
you're not, if you're not given the option of maybe and there's a question,
right, because then they can interpret it anyway they want. Yeah,
I just the whole thing makes my skin crawl, man. But yeah,
it wasn't altogether unexpected. At one point they said that the judge got so
angry started slamming a table. It's it's every bit the kangaroo court. I
think some people predicted, man. Bela. Yeah, they stuck with the
case and four years later, investigators say that they have arrested for and charged
four in a pretty famous theft that took place over in the UK. Let's
see how much was stolen? Nine million? Nine million dollar items stolen from
the Blenham Palace, which you've ever been. I've actually been there. So
this is the this is where Winston Churchill was born, and it's you know
museum. They do art exhibits in there and they what else? There was
something else there. I can't remember what it was, but anyway, that's
so. It's a UNESCO World Heritage Site, right. So it's near Oxford,
so if you go and Oxford's pretty cool, if you ever do get
to go up there. So anyway, four years ago, an exhibit it
was not Winston Churchills by the way, what I'm about to tell you,
but it was an exhibit that actually was in the Guggenheim that decided to display
at the museum there at Blenham Castle. And it was actually a meant to
be a conceptual art exhibit that was criticizing extreme wealth. Okay, so what
they stole is a nine million dollars solid gold toilet. They stole again not
Winston Churchills, but is on exhibit at the Winston Churchill Museum there at the
at the palace there. So what's eve creepier? I assumed that it was
just sitting there on like on like a stage or something. No, no,
no, no, it worked. It worked, believe it or not.
Visitors could sign up for a three minute exhibit window during which they could
go and use the nine million dollar gold toilet, which was connected to the
plumbing, so that when it was stolen, it was just simply ripped out
of the plumbing, which caused I guess some pretty bad flooding, which I
guess I can imagine, and so more so than just the theft, of
a nine million dollar solid gold toilet. They also did significant damage well over
the one million pounds. So which pound is the pound? Ad it's about
fifty so about yeah, because the toilet's four point eight million pounds nine million
US. You can roughly do the math there. However, they were not
able to recover the toilet. They did find the individuals, but for four
years haven't been able to find it. And even though they have criminal charges
and arrest, apparently they they've not figured out where the toilet is. I
don't know if they've melted it down, sold it or or what. But
yeah, so it's it's been solved, and it doesn't say how they solved
it. By the way, you said you were doing some renovation at the
house ross new roof tomorrow. Oh man, you're saying something about some new
a new bathroom right too? Or is that a thing? I don't recall
saying that, but said you had a nice new toilet. I just oh,
yeah, yeah, completely, yeah. Would you want to would you
want to go in a nine million dollar toilet which you could have when the
sign was on exhibit you could do? I don't know, man, you
know, they need they need this exhibited Disney, and then people can get
every port along the line, right, Yeah, they can afford it with
what they're charging. Yeah, so solved. They got it solved. And
check this out. A little horrible story. I don't know how familiar you
all are with NFTs, but one of the ones that got a lot gets
a lot of press and pub out there are what are known as the board
Apes. So it is a series of a bunch of cartoon monkeys, right,
So one smoking a cigar, there's one dressed as a sailor. And
if you get into the NFTs, which you know, that's on you.
These were these were among some of them were popular and as a result,
the company that puts these together, board Ape Yacht Club, actually hosts an
annual get together, a convention for those who are in the cryptosphere, and
this year's event was attended by about twenty five hundred people. Now, the
reason I'm bringing it up is not to tell you about an event that you
missed. By the way, there's ten thousand of these ward eight NFTs,
so you get twenty five hundred people to show up. The reason I'm bringing
it up is they had a little problem. See as they were going through
the event, which consisted obviously of you know, like the hype speakers,
you got the laser lights, and eventually it was a cocktail party and a
party and all of that. But as the evening unfolded, people in attendance
started started feeling pain, and eventually that pain got worse and worse for a
handful of people, several dozen, it's described. So they were trying to
figure out what's going on because people were literally like, my faces on fire,
my eyes feel like they're gonna burst, there's chili. It feels like
there's chili peppers in my eyes. What's going on? And that eventually led
to dozens of people getting I guess a version of snow blindness. Have you
ever had that? That's horrible. So here's what happened. Whoever was putting
the lights in for the stage event and then eventually for later in the evening
for the the party substituted u V lights Oh my god, or for you
know, just the standard cans that you know are doing the light the light
show for you and people. And how long was the show? Well,
it is, so the event which had started at noon and culminated at three
am, so and the lights were being used both for the stage show as
well as during the DJs. The had a DJ come in the other lights
going and they realized that what people had in common that were literally going blind,
although not expected to be permanent, there's significant damage that could be done.
Is that those folks were either in the they're right up front during the
stage show so right where the lights were, or during the party portion were
camped out near the light. It's like you're in a tanning bed for like
three hours, yes, staring out the lights for fifteen hours, fifteen hours
and they literally literally blinded several dozen people. They posted on x they're really
really sorry about all that. They're looking into it. So yeah, but
I guess when your NFT goes to zero, you won't be able to see
it. So if somebody tell you that's just awful, man, just awful.
How do you make that mistake if you're if you're in the audio visual
business, that's like, I don't even understand how you would make that mistake,
Like how you what your use would be in in you know, party
movement lights, the can lights that they use at concerts, Like what would
the purpose of having a UV bulb and light in there even be oh,
let's see here. Out of the twenty two hundred and fifty people, the
report that about three dozen have complained of some sort of injury, although the
ones that really got injured are literally blind right now, and doctors say eventually
they should regain sight, but they are unclear as to uh if there will
be long lasting condemned. I mean, if you're at the gym and you're
like, I'm gonna go tanning today, the first thing they ask you is
do you have your eyewear? Like religiously I ask you that because they don't
want to suffer the illegal constacle. I mean, it's bad news right to
look at that with your eyes open, even even closed. Because one of
the biggest issues when it comes to skin cancer is skin cancer on the eyelids,
and they won't they warn you about that, Like it's very very common,
like that it might happen, like you have to go and have like
stuff removed and stuff. I know a bunch of people on Twitter and X
listeners that have had these procedures done because of skin cancer on the eyelids,
and it means a big deal. Man, this company's gonna be in trouble.
Well, Jesus man, the whole thing is so fly by night anyway.
I don't like where was this over in Hong Kong, Like, I
don't even know what You're very good luck, yeah, have have fun in
the Chinese courts, all right. Eight to forty five. Raced age it
from the weather channel here, and he's got if you like the warm weather,
he's got some good news for you. So yeah, I mean,
typically Casey should be what a little bit sixties this time of year, somewhere
around there. Not quite twenty above average, yeah, but pretty close to
it. I mean, will be fifteen degrees easily above normal. So let's
say if the averageise sixty four, it puts us where fifteen sixty four or
seventy nine, And that's about where we'll be as d through the next few
days. Upper seventies, low eighty scene. A little cloud kind of going
in and out of the clouds in sunshine here this morning across the area to
the west. I mentioned it earlier, but if you didn't check in all
the wildfires burning the western parts of the state in the mountains, they're still
going on. There are some air quality of works not into Asheville, one
of the bigger populated cities out to our west, but surrounding counties to bunk
them, so there is a little bit of haze and smoke in the air.
I don't know if it'll make it this far east. It'll take a
run at it. But I think for the most part at sun and clouds,
upper seventies, low eighties, sunny Tomorrowsday, and Friday the change comes
in. So a couple of more days near eighty and the change Friday.
There might be some showers around, especially later Friday, but other than that
casey, I think real great weather over the next few days, cool though,
but dry by the weekend. I remember a few years ago they had
big fires out around Lake Lure, and I remember one day in Raleigh,
I think it was a weekend day. I will come and I go outside,
and I'm like, what is going on? It had settled. It
settled in for like a few days in Raleigh to the point where it was
really uncomfortable to be outside. So let's right now keat that. So,
yeah, it doesn't look like if the problem is is that there's no appreciable
rainfall in the forecast, may get some late week, but I don't think
it's gonna be enough in terms of big rain for the next two weeks.
Really don't see a bunch. Okay, all right, cool, thank you
sir. We'll chat once again tomorrow and we're coming back. Jeff Bellinger,
Bloomberg News Plus. So we got to go to San Francisco for a little
whoopsie. They were unaware that there's hills. I guess I don't know.
We'll get into that. Hang on ninety four to five WPTI and the Triad.
All right, good morning and welcome. It is eight fifty two your
Bloomberg Update now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening? Good morning?
Casey stocks extended their winning streak yesterday, but really just barely. The gains
for the major averages were very modest. Right now, the futures are mixed.
S and P and Dow futures are lower. Nasdaq futures are up five
points. Oil prices jumped following the announcement over the weekend of extended production cuts
by Saudi Arabia and Russia, but those games didn't last. Crude futures are
falling now. They're back below eighty dollars a barrel. The Energy Information Administration
just reported this morning the average nationwide price of regular gasoline is down more than
two percent from a week ago. If you own your home, chances are
good that its value increase this year. Core Logic reports the prices for single
family homes increased four and a half percent on a year over year basis in
September, and as of September, prices had risen for one hundred forty consecutive
months. They are now more than forty percent higher than they were when the
pandemic began. We works not been able to recover from the sudden drop in
workspace demand that was brought on by the pandemic. The once high flying startup
is now filed for Chapter eleven bankruptcy. COVID may be faded, but some
of the changes to the nation's workforce that were caused by the pandemic have endured.
One major change has been the so called Great Retirement. The labor force
participation rate for workers sixty five years old or older remains well below the pre
pandemic high, and at this point the US has about two million more retirees
than were predicted by the Federal Reserve, and a case Starbucks Workers United,
the union, representing about nine thousand baristas at stores around the country, plans
to file unfair labor practice charges against the coffee chain. Starbucks announced raises and
a new benefits package for its non union employees, but said union workers will
have to negotiate their pay and benefits casey okay, thank you much, Jeff,
do appreciate it, and we'll chat tomorrow, sir. Sounds good.
Have a good day. All right, there you go, Jeff Bellinger,
Bloomberg News. A couple entertainment things. I'm not formiliar ro else. Have
you played the Spider Man game or is that play It's PlayStation only, right
you I've seen people yet as a PlayStation, so I don't play it,
okay, But so for those who don't know in the world oh Spider Man,
there's Peter Parker as you know him, but there's also Miles Morales and
there's you know, some people are like, ah, this is their character
swapping. But they're two different characters. They have two different distinct storylines,
and you know, I don't have a beef with that. However, apparently,
in the New Spider Man two, they've apparently decided that they don't want
to deal with Peter Parker anymore, and as part of the game, Miles
Morales becomes the main Spider Man and it now has fans speculating that is part
of the next iteration of this, They're going to grease Peter Parker so that
I understand why people have some beef man So in of course Gizmoto, because
why wouldn't you talk to one of the Gawker sites, directors of the insomniac
labeled Gate started talking about how they are passing the torch from Peter Parker to
Miles Morales. And while initially Peter just decides to kind of go into retirement,
the speculation is to make this final that they're going to go ahead and
kill off Peter Parker, perhaps like Green Goblin do it. So so you
know what I was wrong. You guys should be paranoid. It's good,
could kill him off, I guess it until you need him back and then,
uh, you know multiverse. But I have nothing against Miles Morales,
but I haven't checked out any of those new Spider Man movies, like into
the Spider Verse and stuff, and I've had no interest in doing it because
Peter Parker is my Spider Man because he Spider Man was Peter Parker decades before
I was even born, right, Movies, comic books, toys, all
different sorts of media, ye, video games. I'm sorry, Spider Man
is Peter Parker, but there just can't. They're examples, but there are
quite a few examples in the world of comics where the original person is not
now the person. There are, and I don't like them. Oh okay,
you don't like the new cap. I like, Like I said,
Falcon is great, is a great character, but he's not Captain America.
To me, he's just not all right, all right, fair enough.
But you know, just like if I think if they'd have just left it
as we're gonna, you know, Miles gonna do this, Peter's gonna go,
I don't know, uh find himself or whatever, and then there was
you know, that back and forth. I think people would have been fine
with it. But they're probably right. They're probably just gonna kill them all,
are they just so the way Are they just going to just kill them?
Are they actually gonna kill off the character or just kind of well,
they're so the speculation is that's what they're positioning the game, folks are not
telling. They want to leave it as a teaser, but there's some other
hints and clues in there that has people they get really nerds out. I
don't have time to go over all of it, but speculating that, yeah,
there's gonna grease Parker and have Green Goblin do it. So so I
guess we'll see as as stuff is released and gets out there. But yeah,
that has irritated some folks. And Ridley Scott's new Napoleon, which I
didn't realize this. They're going to release two versions of this. One's going
to be four friggin' hours and then the other one's two and a half,
and so it'll go theaters two and a half and then Apple Plus. Uh
well, you can watch both when they get there. However, this thing
is Ridley Scott Walking Phoenix. They spent a crap ton of money. It's
supposed to be just over the top with production value. However, now TikTok
historians, I'm sorry, I can't keep it. Can you keep a straight
face and say TikTok historians, by the way, because those are words that
do not belong. Remember, there's a whole TikTok thing where the Roman Empire
didn't exist, So are criticizing elements of the trailer for quote historical inaccuracies.
And then then it gets really into nerdsville right there, and I appreciate Ridley
Scott telling him just get a life, right, just enjoy the movie.
I can't decide whether I want to say I like historical epic movies. The
four Hours sounds like a grind man. And I don't know that Napoleon is
that interesting to me as maybe, but yeah, that's coming out. And
what I didn't realize is he's simultaneously producing a Gladiator too. Did you know
they're doing a Gladiator too? Which is set for released next year or so?
I don't know what do you do with that? Does he finally hook
up with his sisters? Sure? I'm unclear he's by the way he comes
back to life because Multpiper's so time traveler or something. That part of that,
that part of the movie always creaked me out. Yeah yeah, yeah,
but all right, we got a roll. Yeah I'm sorry. Commatist
is still awake, dude, right, Oh, I got news. You
ready to sitting down? Please be sitting
