00:00:43.359 --> 00:00:46.479
All right, morning everybody, and
welcome. It is six o eight.

2
00:00:46.520 --> 00:00:54.200
It is Wednesday here on the Casey
of Dame Radio program. Oh that's nice.

3
00:00:56.399 --> 00:01:00.399
Ah, what is this? Oh
good? Okay, all right,

4
00:01:02.920 --> 00:01:06.680
sorry, I'd send an email to
somebody like two days ago and for whatever

5
00:01:06.719 --> 00:01:10.000
reason, they just answered over in
sales. All right, Well, thank

6
00:01:10.040 --> 00:01:15.359
you very much for getting back.
Appreciate that Annie who coming up on the

7
00:01:15.439 --> 00:01:21.040
show today. We got we got
a lot of movie stuff, although some

8
00:01:21.159 --> 00:01:26.560
of it's politically connected, some of
it's you know, it's not. Don

9
00:01:26.640 --> 00:01:33.239
Lemon may have a new gig already, according to rapper Rick Ross. Let's

10
00:01:33.400 --> 00:01:41.040
reading that this morning. Oh and
um, did you see what happened in

11
00:01:41.200 --> 00:01:53.000
La yesterday with the dude who decided
to scale the KTLA tower. As you

12
00:01:53.040 --> 00:01:59.480
can imagine, that's gonna draw two
things. One emergency response, so you're

13
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:05.280
gonna have of you're gonna have traffic
issues in and around there, but they're

14
00:02:05.319 --> 00:02:12.840
they're also going to be added onto
because people love to rub or neck.

15
00:02:14.080 --> 00:02:19.000
That's a thing, man. And
of course it was being reported while it

16
00:02:19.120 --> 00:02:24.360
was going on, and you're thinking, well, people block the freeway there,

17
00:02:24.479 --> 00:02:30.439
they loot stores, they protest a
lot. Why was this any different,

18
00:02:30.560 --> 00:02:37.120
because when you hear what he was
protesting and how he was armed with

19
00:02:37.199 --> 00:02:43.520
the information, it's amazing. And
apparently it might be Elon musk fault.

20
00:02:43.680 --> 00:02:49.840
I saw that things are Elon Musk's
fault a lot lately. Like there was

21
00:02:49.879 --> 00:02:57.919
a story here the other day of
some guy who groomed a kid on Twitter.

22
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:05.000
Right, I didn't slid into the
dms, did what these monsters do

23
00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:13.439
bury him under the prison and UM
eventually left with this, uh, this

24
00:03:13.560 --> 00:03:16.159
child And in the story, the
parents are like, you know, we

25
00:03:16.159 --> 00:03:20.960
we even reached out, we we
reached out to Twitter, and we're like,

26
00:03:21.199 --> 00:03:27.039
ah, this is not good.
And h NBC News did a big

27
00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.000
piece. They're like, oh,
they weren't even they weren't even handling it.

28
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.879
The irony, of course, is
one and I'm not making excuses here.

29
00:03:34.919 --> 00:03:38.879
I think that if if Elon Musk, one of the things that he

30
00:03:38.000 --> 00:03:47.039
feels is a selling point under new
management, is a much closer and easier

31
00:03:47.080 --> 00:03:54.960
to utilize guard on sexual predators on
Twitter, Um, he's gonna he's gonna

32
00:03:55.000 --> 00:04:00.560
want to nail that down. But
ultimately, if you look at what they

33
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:04.919
did to Twitter, even with the
dismissal, of employees, just the elimination

34
00:04:05.039 --> 00:04:13.319
of these hashtags that are utilized for
these, you know, sexually nefarious purposes.

35
00:04:15.439 --> 00:04:18.040
They've at least moved in the right
direction. But NBC News wrote this

36
00:04:18.079 --> 00:04:24.240
whole piece about how it's Elon musfault
this fourteen year old and the irony,

37
00:04:24.279 --> 00:04:30.079
of course is one of the very
high profile stories under Twitter one point zero.

38
00:04:30.240 --> 00:04:36.279
So pre Musk was these parents,
and the New York Times even wrote

39
00:04:36.279 --> 00:04:43.959
a piece on this, these parents
who along with their children, basically there

40
00:04:44.040 --> 00:04:49.680
was revenge porn being posted to their
kids and Twitter just ignored them, and

41
00:04:49.800 --> 00:04:56.000
then it was being traded by you
know, child molesters or excuse me,

42
00:04:56.199 --> 00:05:05.079
minor attracted persons and they were getting
no satisfaction. But you know, now

43
00:05:05.120 --> 00:05:09.879
that Elon's in charge, you got
to do that. So or excuse me,

44
00:05:10.560 --> 00:05:15.240
am, I being inaccurate referring to
him from a Twitter persona standpoint as

45
00:05:15.279 --> 00:05:24.720
Elon Musk, because yesterday the big
thing was apparently he has a burner account

46
00:05:24.800 --> 00:05:30.360
and it's rabbit hole and now they're
picking through every tweet. Ever that wasn't

47
00:05:30.439 --> 00:05:34.759
confirmed in any way, shape or
form. Right Ross sent this to me

48
00:05:34.839 --> 00:05:38.519
yesterday, I mean, the only
way to confirm it as if he confirms

49
00:05:38.560 --> 00:05:43.319
it. But the spring shot he
showed it looks like when you have multiple

50
00:05:43.319 --> 00:05:46.360
accounts on one phone, as we
have, because we have the show account

51
00:05:46.360 --> 00:05:48.959
in our personal accounts, right,
So it's it's the account which has over

52
00:05:48.959 --> 00:05:53.839
two hundred thousand followers in like a
year, not our account, not the

53
00:05:53.879 --> 00:05:57.959
show It should the show account should, right, so hustle up. It's

54
00:05:58.040 --> 00:06:01.279
at KC the two letters at HC
on the radio anyway, So yes,

55
00:06:01.319 --> 00:06:04.800
it has two hundred thousand followers,
right and in like a year's time something

56
00:06:04.879 --> 00:06:10.040
like that. And uh, they
posted, Hey, look I got two

57
00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:15.920
hundred thousand followers, thank you.
And then the screenshot they posted, you

58
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:17.680
can see there are other accounts they
can go to, and it's Elon Musk.

59
00:06:17.920 --> 00:06:20.279
It looks a picture. It's a
photo of it looks like his account.

60
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:24.360
Well, and then you when you
see you can see, just to

61
00:06:24.399 --> 00:06:28.480
be clear, unless I didn't see
the main thing, you can see the

62
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:31.480
photo that is attached to the other
account, right, yes, And then

63
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:35.800
you go to the content of the
account and it sounds like Elon Musk when

64
00:06:35.800 --> 00:06:40.680
you read the way things are worded, the content of it. The followers,

65
00:06:41.480 --> 00:06:44.720
Uh, you know, labeling themselves
a centrist. This a pin tweet.

66
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.240
I'm under the that is Mars Pa, Mars Pennsylvania. And it's just

67
00:06:49.279 --> 00:06:56.160
like it looks like it. The
evidence seems to be there, Okay,

68
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:00.120
But I would point out that just
as like um currently, your picture on

69
00:07:00.160 --> 00:07:05.319
my phone is because you can sle
whatever picture you want. It is a

70
00:07:05.519 --> 00:07:10.199
picture of you, I believe,
wearing a Patriots hat because you had to

71
00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:14.000
wear it for something on your street. And when I heard this was happening,

72
00:07:14.040 --> 00:07:18.240
I snapped the screenshot that said but
I used to on my phone for

73
00:07:18.360 --> 00:07:27.439
the Twitter account, I had assigned
your photo as the evil chick from Harry

74
00:07:27.480 --> 00:07:35.560
Potter. What's her name, the
Dolores whatever, so Dolores Umbridge. Initially

75
00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:40.120
I had your photos that and I
changed it to the other one that I'm

76
00:07:40.199 --> 00:07:44.240
lazy, and I never changed it
back. My point being that if you

77
00:07:44.439 --> 00:07:48.360
wanted to concoct that, it would
be very convoluted, right because you have

78
00:07:48.439 --> 00:07:51.800
to send tweets out like you said, that sound like the other person.

79
00:07:53.839 --> 00:07:58.720
And but the photo swap, which
I saw people leaning on, I mean,

80
00:07:59.079 --> 00:08:01.759
that wouldn't that wouldn't be that hard
to do. No, it's just

81
00:08:01.800 --> 00:08:07.240
a matter of change in your avy. But I mean, right, so,

82
00:08:07.439 --> 00:08:09.480
I don't know, it looks like
what it is. I mean,

83
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:15.720
yeah, you know, if anything, unless you're in like your Kaiser Jose,

84
00:08:15.959 --> 00:08:20.879
trying to do some Twitter hoax or
whatever, which well have you seen

85
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.120
have you seen the analysis they're doing. It looks real. This account tweeted

86
00:08:24.120 --> 00:08:28.000
out stuff promoting like I can't even
remember what some of the allegations were.

87
00:08:28.560 --> 00:08:31.560
And then I'm reading the tweeting,
I'm like, I don't even know if

88
00:08:31.600 --> 00:08:35.279
that's what that means. It sounds
like somebody who's just clowning and trolling,

89
00:08:35.440 --> 00:08:39.559
which could very well be Musk because
he loves he loves trolling and clowning.

90
00:08:41.480 --> 00:08:46.399
Let's face it, you're watching it
over the blue checks right now. But

91
00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:48.840
anyway, um so, yeah,
wait till you hear what this dude was

92
00:08:48.879 --> 00:08:54.360
doing. And it was based on
a hashtag he saw apparently didn't investigate,

93
00:08:54.480 --> 00:08:58.759
just saw. So let's do this
six sixteen will take a break a billion

94
00:09:00.159 --> 00:09:09.039
that insanity. Next, hang on
one oh six one FM Talk and nine

95
00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:13.879
four five WPTI, two stations driving
the best in talk. This is case

96
00:09:15.039 --> 00:09:22.960
O Day and Carolina's Morning News.
All right, let's chat about this idiot.

97
00:09:24.159 --> 00:09:28.000
Oh, just so we're clear too, when I talk about the tower

98
00:09:28.120 --> 00:09:33.080
for KTLA, they have obviously they
have their main towers, but they have

99
00:09:33.320 --> 00:09:39.519
kind of that ceremonial tower, the
one that's actually there near their broadcast,

100
00:09:39.559 --> 00:09:43.080
which is on Sunset Boulevards, So
they're in Hollywood. So you have you

101
00:09:43.159 --> 00:09:48.240
got mangled traffic on four oh five
surface streets. The whole deal. All

102
00:09:48.320 --> 00:09:56.399
right, So here's the story.
A man scaled the KTLA tower with a

103
00:09:56.440 --> 00:10:00.399
guitar and a sign. The tower, which is one hundred and six two

104
00:10:00.480 --> 00:10:03.000
feet, which is not the tallest
tower, but the falls still kill you.

105
00:10:05.000 --> 00:10:11.200
Went to the top and played his
guitar while onlookers watched, holding a

106
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:22.600
sign that said hashtag free Billie Eilish, the singer. Now he only by

107
00:10:22.600 --> 00:10:26.399
the time police arrived, he was
only about thirty feet in the year,

108
00:10:26.080 --> 00:10:33.320
so they brought crisis negotiation the whole
deal. So the irony is, even

109
00:10:33.360 --> 00:10:39.399
though he's described as a protester,
hashtag free Billie Eilish was a thing on

110
00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:46.320
Twitter, but it was like parody. So police feel that he might be

111
00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:54.120
a little confused because Billie Eilish not
facing any legal problems doesn't really have anything

112
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.679
going on. There was like a
parody thing, and then I'm not honestly

113
00:11:00.080 --> 00:11:03.120
even decide to, you know,
go down the rabbit hole, so to

114
00:11:03.159 --> 00:11:09.919
speak. The sign was a you
know, a standard white sheet like you

115
00:11:09.960 --> 00:11:16.120
would have on your bed. On
one side said a hashtag free Billy Eilish

116
00:11:16.120 --> 00:11:30.159
and on the other side said m
beware mk ultra sex slaves Donald Marshall Clones.

117
00:11:33.159 --> 00:11:37.039
Believe it or not, they feel
like there might be something going on

118
00:11:37.120 --> 00:11:41.440
emotionally with this dude or mentally with
this dude. I got to admit,

119
00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:48.759
I love me a good little conspiracy
theory, is the threat of MK ultra

120
00:11:50.000 --> 00:11:56.720
sex slave Donald Marshall Clones? Is
that a thing we're currently worried about?

121
00:11:58.960 --> 00:12:03.919
Because I have to admit I hadn't
heard anything about the mk ultra sex slaves.

122
00:12:05.519 --> 00:12:09.879
Also, what is an mk ultra
sex slave. I understand the mk

123
00:12:11.120 --> 00:12:16.639
Ultra. I understand that that was
a thing. I understand the CIA side

124
00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:20.039
of it, the docks, and
I've watched plenty of things on this,

125
00:12:22.720 --> 00:12:28.240
but I've never really I'm not up
on the mk ultra sex slave angle.

126
00:12:31.679 --> 00:12:39.960
And I tend to deep dive these
things because I find him amusing Ross you've

127
00:12:39.000 --> 00:12:43.320
seen anything about MK ultra sex slaves
and that being a problem right now,

128
00:12:43.480 --> 00:12:50.600
or because I m I run across
that, and frankly, I don't want

129
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:58.440
to google that, so not on
one of my computers anyway. But apparently

130
00:12:58.480 --> 00:13:00.759
that's the thing he wants you to
know about out and he was willing to

131
00:13:00.759 --> 00:13:11.639
get arrested for it. So he
was arrested on trespassing charges. And it's

132
00:13:11.679 --> 00:13:16.960
so weird too. Those would be
your two messages. These sevy times seven

133
00:13:16.000 --> 00:13:22.519
time Grammy winner actually appeared on James
Gordon's program earlier in the day and did

134
00:13:22.559 --> 00:13:26.120
not appear to be in custody.
Maybe maybe he meant from James Gordon,

135
00:13:30.080 --> 00:13:35.759
don't know. But I'm less concerned
with that and more concerned with apparently the

136
00:13:35.840 --> 00:13:41.480
plight of the mk ultra sex slaves, which is apparently a thing we need

137
00:13:41.519 --> 00:13:48.600
to be concerned about. So also, who is Donald Martin clones? They're

138
00:13:48.600 --> 00:13:56.320
clones too, They're not just MK
ultra sex slaves, they're clones, which

139
00:13:56.440 --> 00:14:03.919
you know, as far as you
know, being dealt hand in life sounds

140
00:14:03.919 --> 00:14:09.840
pretty rotten. Donald Marshall, Just
so you know, because I did look

141
00:14:09.480 --> 00:14:15.840
this whole thing up this is like, um, this is a Canadian case

142
00:14:16.159 --> 00:14:20.840
because it's an MK ultra sex lay, but they're all Donald Marshall junior clones.

143
00:14:24.159 --> 00:14:33.720
And basically this was a guy who
was wrongly convicted of murder in Canada.

144
00:14:35.200 --> 00:14:37.639
I can't even tell you that.
I can't even pronounce the name of

145
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:41.360
the town he's from, but basically
he was convicted of murder. The case

146
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:46.159
inspired a number of questions about the
fairness of the Canadian justice system. Obviously

147
00:14:46.360 --> 00:14:54.399
La is not in Canada, and
he's Aboriginal or actually that's not the term

148
00:14:54.399 --> 00:15:01.039
they use in Canada. They use
U. I can't remember what it is.

149
00:15:01.320 --> 00:15:05.919
Actually. Do you know in Canada
with the LGBTQ thing, that the

150
00:15:07.039 --> 00:15:11.799
Native persons gay Native persons thing proceeds
all of that. So if you go

151
00:15:11.840 --> 00:15:18.480
to Canada and you want to use
LGBTQ A i AA plus, which I

152
00:15:18.559 --> 00:15:24.320
think is the current US standard,
you have to put two s in front

153
00:15:24.360 --> 00:15:30.840
of that, So it's two s
LGBTQ i AA, which actually is then

154
00:15:30.960 --> 00:15:35.240
repetitive of it because of the two
But you know, I don't think this

155
00:15:35.320 --> 00:15:39.639
stuff up all right, eight eight
eight nine three four. Yeah, that's

156
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:43.320
how we're starting the show. Today
just because I was watching that on the

157
00:15:43.360 --> 00:15:48.480
news. I'll tell you what.
In in Canada, in California, they

158
00:15:48.559 --> 00:15:54.720
love a good police incident, and
it is one of the things in retrospect

159
00:15:54.840 --> 00:15:58.440
that baffles me because like, they
don't one who identify criminals, I don't

160
00:15:58.440 --> 00:16:04.639
even want to convict them. But
in California, if there's a police chase,

161
00:16:06.159 --> 00:16:11.559
they have all the infrastructure for this. And like the mentality in California

162
00:16:11.600 --> 00:16:18.039
too, even among criminals, is
I'm gonna be famous and they'll run.

163
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:21.960
And it will not just be on
like KTLA, It'll be on all the

164
00:16:22.039 --> 00:16:26.159
partner stations because I was up in
Santa Barbara and they will show this thing

165
00:16:26.360 --> 00:16:33.759
from take off to whatever they got
helicopters and chased vehicles, and it's a

166
00:16:33.840 --> 00:16:37.960
bit they'll stop whatever they're doing.
Man's why the Whiteford Bronco thing was such

167
00:16:38.000 --> 00:16:42.799
a hit decade on the calendar and
celebrating ten years on the air. This

168
00:16:44.080 --> 00:16:48.360
is one oh six one FM Talk
in the Triangle and News Talk w PTI

169
00:16:48.600 --> 00:16:59.919
and the Triad minds me of though, Ross is the the horny Teachers stuff,

170
00:17:00.320 --> 00:17:03.480
right, Kelly, Yeah, we
just had a story right after I

171
00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.839
got back from vacation. There was
like, these six teachers over the last

172
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:14.200
week have all been charged with canoodling
with students, putting it politely, and

173
00:17:14.640 --> 00:17:17.839
like if they're a female, especially
if they're a female that looks decent,

174
00:17:18.359 --> 00:17:22.680
slap on the wrist, dude,
bury him under the prison, right.

175
00:17:23.640 --> 00:17:29.640
So I was just reading this amber
Heard to officially return as Mara in the

176
00:17:29.799 --> 00:17:36.519
upcoming Aquaman sequel, and the reason
that's obviously all the Johnny Depp amber Heard

177
00:17:36.559 --> 00:17:41.160
stuff that played out. But when
amber Heard wrote the op ed that,

178
00:17:41.319 --> 00:17:45.640
really, you know, put that
out there into the news cycle. Johnny

179
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:52.440
Depp was blackballed immediately before they ever
had a chance to determine whether it was

180
00:17:52.480 --> 00:17:55.720
true or not. And I think
anyone who watched even a moment of that

181
00:17:55.880 --> 00:18:00.599
or read any reporting on that trial
realized, this woman's utter really full of

182
00:18:00.640 --> 00:18:04.559
crap, and if anything, she
herself is abusive. In my opinion,

183
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.559
Johnny Depp was Let's say they put
the pirate stuff on hold, and then

184
00:18:11.119 --> 00:18:17.599
really the thing that he was most
involved with was the Harry Potter or not

185
00:18:17.680 --> 00:18:22.519
Harry Potter Fantastic Beast thing, which
is a Harry Potter related thing. But

186
00:18:22.599 --> 00:18:26.160
they immediately pulled him out of that, right, he was out, he

187
00:18:26.519 --> 00:18:34.200
was done. And now did you
say the movie suffered as a result the

188
00:18:34.440 --> 00:18:37.240
sequel. I never saw anything but
the first one, and I don't even

189
00:18:37.240 --> 00:18:40.759
know it was a Harry Potter thing. The first I don't think he would

190
00:18:40.759 --> 00:18:45.079
have saved it. It was just
a matter of writing and story and you

191
00:18:45.160 --> 00:18:47.440
know, the whole thing. But
they kicked him to the curb, right,

192
00:18:47.519 --> 00:18:48.799
They sure did, They sure did. And now they're like, no,

193
00:18:48.920 --> 00:18:52.680
we're gonna bring her back for Aquaman. And they got a bunch of

194
00:18:52.720 --> 00:18:56.359
these things going on. Ezra Miller, obviously with the flash stuff. That

195
00:18:56.440 --> 00:19:02.880
dude's nuts. Yeah, I don't
even the fact he still has a job

196
00:19:02.880 --> 00:19:06.839
and hasn't been dropped is insane.
And there's you know one thing you could

197
00:19:06.839 --> 00:19:10.359
point out, be like, oh
maybe that's the reason. I mean,

198
00:19:10.519 --> 00:19:12.000
he hit a woman over the head
with a chair in a bar, He

199
00:19:12.079 --> 00:19:15.319
kidnapped a girl, got her on
drugs, right, like all his stuff,

200
00:19:15.319 --> 00:19:18.319
and it's like, yeah, give
we'll give you a thousand another chance,

201
00:19:18.599 --> 00:19:22.480
Like, well, you form one
little cult, right, and and

202
00:19:22.599 --> 00:19:29.160
then assault somebody on video, right, that's only two strikes. I believe

203
00:19:29.200 --> 00:19:33.759
three strikes is the American way.
Um. I honestly, I think the

204
00:19:33.759 --> 00:19:37.359
only reason they released the U,
the last movie with him in it,

205
00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:41.559
is because it was already shot.
Because if you look at what they're doing,

206
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:45.839
they're gonna they're probably gonna run that
dude who's supposed to be the new

207
00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:49.160
Loki. Uh, we're talking about
Kane. Guy Kane. Yeah, yeah,

208
00:19:49.240 --> 00:19:53.759
Kane, but yeah, the super
he's the new uber bad guy in

209
00:19:53.799 --> 00:20:00.240
the Marvel stuff. And basically there
was an allegation that he was part of

210
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:07.079
a domestic assault, although it sounds
like the rebuttal to that even by the

211
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.519
victim is he didn't. But then
they released some texts or he really sounded

212
00:20:11.559 --> 00:20:15.119
like a creepy due. But the
point is they at least have an out

213
00:20:15.200 --> 00:20:21.160
because it's not in the can and
they can argue the multiverse too, right,

214
00:20:21.359 --> 00:20:23.720
which I mean, that's a that's
an amazing excuse. Oh No,

215
00:20:23.960 --> 00:20:26.839
Kane looks like that in the one, but he doesn't look like that in

216
00:20:26.880 --> 00:20:30.200
the others. Right, you can
do that. But with Amber heard,

217
00:20:30.599 --> 00:20:37.200
they made a decision that she's gonna
she's gonna retain her role. So this

218
00:20:37.240 --> 00:20:41.400
is this is where movies cross over
with politics. Like I like I mentioned

219
00:20:41.440 --> 00:20:48.160
there, but not the only story
we have Steven Spielberg. I thought this

220
00:20:48.279 --> 00:20:52.359
was interesting, but I also think
that they're missing in this article his motivation.

221
00:20:55.160 --> 00:21:00.160
Here's the headline from Fox News.
Spielberg blast revising old films for modern

222
00:21:00.240 --> 00:21:04.839
audiences and admits mistake with the editing
of ET. Now, if you don't

223
00:21:04.880 --> 00:21:15.319
know what happened with ET, they
re edited ET and in the scene or

224
00:21:15.359 --> 00:21:19.799
in multiple scenes actually, but in
the scenes where you have law enforcement chasing

225
00:21:19.880 --> 00:21:23.599
ET, right, yeah, the
government going after them. They literally edited

226
00:21:23.599 --> 00:21:32.680
out the guns that they had on
them, the government officers or officials,

227
00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:41.440
which arguably was a lot softer than
what they were doing to things like Rold

228
00:21:41.519 --> 00:21:45.119
Doll stuff and some of the books. But he's super against it. But

229
00:21:45.519 --> 00:21:51.480
what they didn't talk about in the
story is I saw a piece quite a

230
00:21:51.480 --> 00:21:59.759
few years ago where they were they
were talking about how Hollywood oversaturates movie with

231
00:22:00.240 --> 00:22:06.000
movies with firearms where it's unnecessary,
and they had like a list of the

232
00:22:06.039 --> 00:22:11.799
greatest offenders, and like Spielberg was
on there, and part of the beef

233
00:22:11.880 --> 00:22:15.519
was ET. But the one they
really got mad at him over is a

234
00:22:15.559 --> 00:22:25.880
classic scene from the Indiana Jones franchise, and that would be if you remember

235
00:22:26.000 --> 00:22:30.599
Indiana Jones. He's in the you
know, the Middle Eastern market and dudes

236
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:37.279
out there doing his whole thing with
the swords and Indie pulls out a pistol

237
00:22:37.279 --> 00:22:41.079
and just shoots him, and it's
it's played for comedy and so but they

238
00:22:41.160 --> 00:22:45.079
I think it was number one on
the list where it was just unnecessary in

239
00:22:45.160 --> 00:22:48.640
Hollywood's horrible and it was a gun
grabber group. But I just remember reading

240
00:22:48.640 --> 00:22:53.519
it with amusement. That's an amazing
scene. It's a great scene. The

241
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:59.160
whole thing's a great scene, and
it is played and it is the comedic

242
00:22:59.240 --> 00:23:06.279
relief of that scene because it really
speaks to it speaks to his general demeanor,

243
00:23:06.319 --> 00:23:11.440
which is probably going to be bastardized
in the next movie. But yeah,

244
00:23:11.480 --> 00:23:14.160
I mean it goes back. I
mean it's Harrison Ford, it's you

245
00:23:14.160 --> 00:23:17.720
could even say Han solo, right, Hans shot first. They took that

246
00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:21.200
out. That made the scene right, like, yes he did, he

247
00:23:21.240 --> 00:23:25.000
did, Okay, all right,
But but that brought about a point of

248
00:23:25.039 --> 00:23:29.599
debate that was that was an iconic
moment, even if it's played for memes

249
00:23:29.680 --> 00:23:33.240
and stuff like that. You're right, yeah, define the character that's here

250
00:23:33.279 --> 00:23:34.559
deal. Let's scoundrel, right.
He will shoot you into the table,

251
00:23:34.599 --> 00:23:38.799
you know, and then you see
the redemption side of it. That's the

252
00:23:38.839 --> 00:23:44.640
whole point of his character. And
with Indiana Jones, that's just him moving

253
00:23:44.640 --> 00:23:45.839
through life and he's just like,
you know what, I don't have time

254
00:23:45.839 --> 00:23:52.480
for scrap. It's smart, which
perfectly plays to his character. So yeah,

255
00:23:52.519 --> 00:23:56.480
I understand why Spielberg would have a
would have a beef. But other

256
00:23:56.519 --> 00:24:00.839
than sitting there in an interview whining
about it, the fact is you're gonna

257
00:24:00.880 --> 00:24:06.559
need like fifteen Spielbergs in. You
need the people who are the power players

258
00:24:06.920 --> 00:24:11.839
in Hollywood if you ever want to
turn that mess around, Because now I

259
00:24:11.839 --> 00:24:18.759
would argue the majority of Hollywood is
a political They're just two. They're two

260
00:24:18.880 --> 00:24:22.720
enraptured in their own selves, do
you know what I mean? However,

261
00:24:23.000 --> 00:24:27.839
interview after interview and story after story, you realize that if you want to

262
00:24:27.880 --> 00:24:33.319
stay on the radar in Hollywood,
you got to come out there and just

263
00:24:33.359 --> 00:24:36.880
be like, you know, the
force is female. And I'm not saying

264
00:24:36.880 --> 00:24:38.720
that some of them don't believe it, but I think for a lot of

265
00:24:38.759 --> 00:24:44.519
the actors, they have to align
themselves because they realize what happens, not

266
00:24:44.599 --> 00:24:52.359
just if they speak out in in
opposing ways like James Woods and what's her

267
00:24:52.400 --> 00:24:59.000
bucket who they kicked out of Star
Wars or the Mandalorian I can't remember,

268
00:24:59.359 --> 00:25:03.119
but she ended up doing the movie
thing with Daily Wire. That's that's the

269
00:25:03.200 --> 00:25:07.440
ultimate punishment. But if you don't, at least if you try to stay

270
00:25:07.599 --> 00:25:12.839
just I'm not talking politics, they'll
eat you alive as well. But they're

271
00:25:12.880 --> 00:25:17.319
doing most of that Dog and Pony
Show is to stay on the radar of

272
00:25:17.480 --> 00:25:25.079
the power players. So you need
the Spielbergs, You need the guys running

273
00:25:25.119 --> 00:25:30.039
the studios, the gals running the
studios, the people who you know,

274
00:25:30.160 --> 00:25:33.359
make things. You need them to
be like, Nah, this is stupid.

275
00:25:34.400 --> 00:25:37.960
We're not gonna do this. We're
not gonna We're not gonna go re

276
00:25:37.200 --> 00:25:41.039
edit Humphrey Bogart back in the day
and take a cigarette out of his mouth,

277
00:25:41.119 --> 00:25:48.799
which they did. So I don't
know if one interview is going to

278
00:25:48.880 --> 00:25:52.599
get it done, but that's what
he was winding about yesterday, all right,

279
00:25:52.599 --> 00:25:55.440
eight eight, eight, nine,
three four seven eight seventy four,

280
00:25:55.799 --> 00:26:00.200
Jake, what's up? Hey,
good morning? Um, the irony is

281
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:04.880
on Sonic the Hedgehog the two movies
that they made. The first one,

282
00:26:06.200 --> 00:26:10.319
they all had guns, and their
guns were not overly heavily used, but

283
00:26:10.559 --> 00:26:12.279
you know, the military actually had
them and the police actually had them.

284
00:26:12.440 --> 00:26:19.400
But on the second one they use
tasers and their their new new secret secret

285
00:26:19.759 --> 00:26:25.599
government thing is called gun gun Mike
as an acronym. But I thought that

286
00:26:25.720 --> 00:26:29.359
was hilarious. You know, I
never watched any of the Sonic movies,

287
00:26:29.400 --> 00:26:34.680
but I do find it ironic the
tasers would be the the go to when

288
00:26:36.079 --> 00:26:40.680
in a way, I like,
I don't know if it's part of the

289
00:26:40.759 --> 00:26:45.240
cannon for Sonic, but I would
assume that, like electricity coursing through them

290
00:26:45.720 --> 00:26:48.720
is part of his character based on
what he's able to do in the video.

291
00:26:49.440 --> 00:26:52.519
You know what, I didn't think
about that, but that does make

292
00:26:52.519 --> 00:26:56.759
a lot of sense tho as well. They do use rockets then in the

293
00:26:56.839 --> 00:27:00.680
end that military actually does have the
deuce on top of the humbies. But

294
00:27:02.160 --> 00:27:04.799
um, not a single I think, not a single firearm he's actually fired

295
00:27:04.839 --> 00:27:10.079
in that in the second one and
the first one only one was okay,

296
00:27:10.279 --> 00:27:15.640
all right, it's something I Yeah, I appreciate the call this morning thank

297
00:27:15.640 --> 00:27:19.079
you, Jake. Oh what is
this Gina Krano? Yes, that is

298
00:27:19.079 --> 00:27:26.599
her name is Oh sobody said,
I mean email said that that scene with

299
00:27:26.720 --> 00:27:30.880
Harrison Ford was not a planned scene. You know. I think I saw

300
00:27:30.920 --> 00:27:36.880
that on a some little bio video
or something one time. But it's one

301
00:27:36.880 --> 00:27:40.400
of the scenes that will stick with
you from all of the indie series,

302
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:45.200
right where he pulled the guys,
you know, going through the ninja motions

303
00:27:45.279 --> 00:27:48.279
and he's just like, it's one
of the classic scenes when you think of

304
00:27:48.319 --> 00:27:52.640
the franchise, right. The other
one would be like replacing the bag right

305
00:27:52.640 --> 00:27:56.440
here, he's in the tomb or
whatever and he's switching the you know,

306
00:27:56.480 --> 00:28:00.480
putting him bag on the thing so
he can steal the thing. Yeah,

307
00:28:00.599 --> 00:28:03.759
or the giant boulder chasing him.
It's a classic scene. You can't take

308
00:28:03.799 --> 00:28:07.319
it out, or choosing the cups, you know, just like if you're

309
00:28:07.319 --> 00:28:15.599
gonna sight something from it, it's
easily in the top three. But nope,

310
00:28:15.720 --> 00:28:18.680
No, we gotta get woke,
got gotta show out for the powers

311
00:28:18.720 --> 00:28:23.720
that be, and they're gonna you're
gonna need a lot more. Spielberg's on

312
00:28:23.799 --> 00:28:29.359

00:29:18.240 --> 00:29:26.799
More with Casey starts now. All
right, six fifty three, Welcome back

323
00:29:26.920 --> 00:29:34.759
case O Day Radio program. Let
me ask you a question. What would

324
00:29:34.759 --> 00:29:38.839
you say, looking back on your
life out there, everything you've done,

325
00:29:38.839 --> 00:29:45.519
all the experiences you've had, what
would you say is your Rosa Parks moment?

326
00:29:48.920 --> 00:29:53.119
What would it be? What is
that moment you decided to take a

327
00:29:53.279 --> 00:30:07.400
stand, buck the system them go
your own way. Because I didn't know

328
00:30:07.480 --> 00:30:11.039
that was a thing, but apparently
that's the thing. I have to admit

329
00:30:11.960 --> 00:30:15.839
I missed the story initially from last
week, but I think I might have

330
00:30:15.880 --> 00:30:18.160
seen the headline, but I didn't
see the video. But then I saw

331
00:30:18.160 --> 00:30:22.440
the video yesterday and I'm like,
yeah, we're gonna talk about this.

332
00:30:23.480 --> 00:30:33.200
So this woman, this woman goes
into a tar J gets herself a bunch

333
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:37.839
of groceries. This is in Ohio, and not just groceries, but like

334
00:30:37.880 --> 00:30:47.920
a thousand dollars worth of stuff.
And it actually happened at the end of

335
00:30:48.000 --> 00:30:52.079
last year, but the video and
the court case and all that finally made

336
00:30:52.079 --> 00:30:56.640
its way into the news here last
week. She goes up with a thousand

337
00:30:56.680 --> 00:31:08.079
dollars worth of stuff and starts whispering
to the person checking her out, saying

338
00:31:08.160 --> 00:31:18.759
that this should be reparations. Yeah, and obviously the clerk's like, yeah,

339
00:31:18.759 --> 00:31:21.000
I can't really do that. I
think the clerk told her to come

340
00:31:21.000 --> 00:31:26.519
back tomorrow and talk to the big
manager and maybe ask if they would give

341
00:31:26.519 --> 00:31:29.640
her a thousand dollars worth of stuff, but obviously she just didn't want to

342
00:31:29.640 --> 00:31:33.319
deal with the issue, at which
point they brought one of the managers out

343
00:31:33.359 --> 00:31:37.599
who was on site, and the
whole thing goes sideways. This woman goes

344
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:45.039
absolutely backcrap crazy on this dude starts
and it's you can see it from the

345
00:31:45.079 --> 00:31:49.400
surveillance video, but to hear it
described, you can see how aggressive obviously

346
00:31:49.480 --> 00:31:52.920
she is. She was not happy. She was not happy that they were

347
00:31:52.960 --> 00:32:00.480
denying her reparations. Those are her
words. So she got up in his

348
00:32:00.519 --> 00:32:05.160
face and actually you can see in
the video she's chasing the dude as he

349
00:32:05.240 --> 00:32:10.519
continues to back up, just trying
to have a conversation with her. And

350
00:32:10.839 --> 00:32:15.400
he keeps moving back back back,
and right there on the other side of

351
00:32:15.400 --> 00:32:20.160
where the checkouts are as his office, and she backs him into his office

352
00:32:20.160 --> 00:32:25.319
and now he's got nowhere to go, and in the video he realizes I'm

353
00:32:25.359 --> 00:32:32.920
pinned in he smokes her right in
the face. Police came saw the video,

354
00:32:34.200 --> 00:32:37.720
heard his side of the story and
said no, no, no,

355
00:32:37.839 --> 00:32:44.799
but let me just play you some
of this because it's fascinating to hear her

356
00:32:45.640 --> 00:32:49.519
sitting in the office after she just
got you know, smacked in the face

357
00:32:49.599 --> 00:32:57.880
by this dude. Oh oh,
okay, I'm sorry. Ross is just

358
00:32:57.960 --> 00:33:02.480
to him so but it's not the
a Parks thing, right, Oh,

359
00:33:02.599 --> 00:33:06.359
I have all right, I gotta
find I'm sorry I sent you the wrong

360
00:33:06.519 --> 00:33:07.839
video. I didn't even all right, Well, here's a snippet of the

361
00:33:07.880 --> 00:33:15.400
employees talking to police, and I'm
gonna grab the audio because it's amazing.

362
00:33:15.920 --> 00:33:20.720
I've had a privileged life and she's
been disadvantaged. And then said that she

363
00:33:20.880 --> 00:33:23.960
was asking Target to make reparations for
her. This is what she's telling the

364
00:33:23.960 --> 00:33:29.119
clerk. She's telling this clerk who's
checking out at Target. And this is

365
00:33:29.160 --> 00:33:31.559
not me passion judgment on people who
work at Target. I just want to

366
00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:37.359
be very clear here, But to
sit there and tell somebody working at Target

367
00:33:37.279 --> 00:33:42.640
about the privileged life they've had,
I don't know that they're necessarily going to

368
00:33:42.720 --> 00:33:45.519
respond to that real well. Please, just kept saying that, and then

369
00:33:45.559 --> 00:33:49.519
she got really close to me,
so I put my hands up and backed

370
00:33:49.519 --> 00:33:52.880
down, and she like followed me. She held our security persis. He

371
00:33:52.960 --> 00:33:57.240
came over and intervening, I hope
you, like what do we need to

372
00:33:57.240 --> 00:34:00.119
do here? And she's like,
I I just don't have the money and

373
00:34:00.319 --> 00:34:04.359
I need you guys to take care
of me. And then she started like

374
00:34:04.440 --> 00:34:06.920
getting in my face and I was
like, man, like I need you.

375
00:34:07.319 --> 00:34:08.920
I need you to leave, Like
you needn't leave where I'm gonna call

376
00:34:08.960 --> 00:34:12.599
the cops. She's like a cool, call the cops. She sorted like

377
00:34:12.840 --> 00:34:15.559
walk kept she kept on coming at
me, and I backed up all the

378
00:34:15.599 --> 00:34:19.159
way up into my office and I
tried to close it door, and she's

379
00:34:19.159 --> 00:34:22.599
like, oh, you're not gonna
leave. And then I tried to close

380
00:34:22.679 --> 00:34:25.000
it because she like powered her way
through him into my office. And then

381
00:34:25.039 --> 00:34:29.000
like I tried to back up a
little bit more, but she I was

382
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:30.679
already in an an close space,
so I just hit it. Yeah,

383
00:34:31.000 --> 00:34:36.360
all right, Well I'm gonna go
because when the cop gets there and I

384
00:34:36.440 --> 00:35:20.000
have the I have the Yeah.
I gotta tell you too. As I'm

385
00:35:20.039 --> 00:35:22.679
sitting there and I'm looking at the
stories Sarah, the coverage here, and

386
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:28.800
the analysis and comments on everything about
this target altercation, there's still a bunch

387
00:35:28.800 --> 00:35:31.719
of people that are really mad that
he hit this woman and punched as a

388
00:35:31.840 --> 00:35:36.559
strong word, he struck her in
the face, but it actually looks like

389
00:35:36.599 --> 00:35:40.159
he struck her kind of with an
open hand. But the fact remains is

390
00:35:40.639 --> 00:35:45.480
she was, and I don't care
who you are, she was beyond aggressive.

391
00:35:45.000 --> 00:35:47.840
She's going after this dude, and
once he's pinned into an area where

392
00:35:47.880 --> 00:35:53.719
he's not getting out, I don't
begrudge him doing something I'm not a hit

393
00:35:53.800 --> 00:35:59.119
woman kind of guy, but arguably
she's bigger than him, and I gotta

394
00:35:59.199 --> 00:36:01.360
be honest in this day and age. You guys, see the video here

395
00:36:01.400 --> 00:36:06.679
a few weeks ago. This woman. They released the video a few weeks

396
00:36:06.679 --> 00:36:09.480
ago. I'm not exactly sure when
it took place. Basically, there's this

397
00:36:09.559 --> 00:36:15.519
woman, she's a she's a bigger
woman, but you know, she just

398
00:36:15.519 --> 00:36:20.039
looks like somebody who's upset that the
police or stop, I don't remember what

399
00:36:20.079 --> 00:36:22.559
they were, what they were on
or about. It looked like she was

400
00:36:22.639 --> 00:36:27.599
parked illegally and she'd almost she basically
had been in some verbal spat and they're

401
00:36:27.639 --> 00:36:31.000
trying to talk to her and she's
just she's in her car and the officers

402
00:36:31.000 --> 00:36:37.159
are trying to get her out of
the car. And you know, one

403
00:36:37.199 --> 00:36:39.440
of the things, whether it is
right or wrong, you can you know,

404
00:36:39.519 --> 00:36:44.159
you can figure that out in court. But if an officer asked you

405
00:36:44.199 --> 00:36:46.199
to step out of their car,
there's your car. There's case law on

406
00:36:46.280 --> 00:36:51.480
that right. So if they ask
you to get out of your car,

407
00:36:51.599 --> 00:36:55.880
you gotta get out of your car. If it's part of a traffic stops.

408
00:36:57.039 --> 00:36:59.280
I see a lot of people argue
that point in the video. But

409
00:36:59.360 --> 00:37:02.039
what was crazy he is they're trying
to get her out of there, and

410
00:37:02.199 --> 00:37:07.639
it turns more physical and more physical, and she pulled a gun out and

411
00:37:08.039 --> 00:37:10.800
she shot one of the cops in
the head. He survived, thankfully,

412
00:37:12.880 --> 00:37:19.440
and she did not. But you
know, so it's understandable to me how

413
00:37:19.480 --> 00:37:23.000
things can go sideways real quick.
And this guy's now in a pinned area.

414
00:37:23.000 --> 00:37:27.360
It's kind of like that clerk up
in New York that ended up killing

415
00:37:27.360 --> 00:37:30.800
that dude then getting arrested before the
outrage required them not to do that to

416
00:37:30.880 --> 00:37:37.199
him and charge him with murder.
Once you're backed into a corner there and

417
00:37:37.320 --> 00:37:42.440
you have somebody that is as aggressive
as this woman is who was in there

418
00:37:42.519 --> 00:37:46.679
asking the checkout girl to give her
a thousand dollars in reparations, and then

419
00:37:46.760 --> 00:37:51.760
she became enraged when the woman's like, no, you got to talk to

420
00:37:51.840 --> 00:37:55.199
a manager. I can't do that, And the one manager on site was

421
00:37:55.239 --> 00:38:00.840
like, no, no, I'm
not sure how thousand be very interested to

422
00:38:00.880 --> 00:38:07.599
see what was all in her card, said no, she was as aggressive

423
00:38:07.800 --> 00:38:12.079
without a weapon in your hand as
somebody could get. And you don't know

424
00:38:12.119 --> 00:38:15.639
what she had on her person.
So I don't begrudge this guy at all.

425
00:38:15.679 --> 00:38:19.400
And you're gonna hear in this little
snippet I'm gonna play. The police

426
00:38:19.400 --> 00:38:22.719
don't seem too either. Now,
Initially when the police showed up, if

427
00:38:22.760 --> 00:38:24.880
you watch the bodycamp footage, they're
like, I'm sorry you hit her?

428
00:38:25.000 --> 00:38:29.000
What And he's trying to explain.
He goes, let's go to the tape.

429
00:38:29.960 --> 00:38:34.360
And after watching the tape, the
police are having this conversation with her.

430
00:38:34.400 --> 00:38:38.840
This is part of the bodycamp footage, and you'll hear him tell her

431
00:38:39.639 --> 00:38:44.960
you're in the wrong here, woman, you're in the wrong, and her

432
00:38:45.079 --> 00:38:49.880
rebuttal is amazing. Listen to this. You're back into an office and you

433
00:38:49.920 --> 00:38:52.039
got hit in the face. Unfortune. When people working back into a partner,

434
00:38:52.679 --> 00:38:57.440
they can choose no, no,
they can choose to do the right

435
00:38:57.480 --> 00:39:00.400
thing, or they can choose the
lash up a right. Let me,

436
00:39:00.840 --> 00:39:04.280
I'll come back and I'll play the
rest of it for you. What do

437
00:39:04.480 --> 00:39:08.800
they could choose to do the right
thing every moment of when you were charging

438
00:39:08.840 --> 00:39:14.360
this dude, especially when they cut
to the camera in the office. In

439
00:39:14.440 --> 00:39:21.760
my mind, I assume you're about
to strike me or worse. There's no

440
00:39:21.880 --> 00:39:28.079
question in my mind that that's what
I'm assuming. It is a straight bullrush,

441
00:39:28.239 --> 00:39:34.199
aggressive yelling, unquestionable. This guy's
retreating, retreating, retweeting, a

442
00:39:34.360 --> 00:39:38.519
retreating. I can't even say the
word three times. And at that moment

443
00:39:38.559 --> 00:39:44.039
you can tell he becomes aware of
his surroundings because he's trying to get into

444
00:39:44.079 --> 00:39:45.760
his office. Shut the door,
and she's just boom right through that.

445
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:52.440
Man, what is the right thing
there? Well, she doesn't even understand

446
00:39:52.440 --> 00:39:54.880
the irony of what she's saying because
she's talking about herself. She's like,

447
00:39:54.880 --> 00:39:59.480
Oh, the system has backed me
up into a corner. The system is

448
00:39:59.480 --> 00:40:04.400
a system systemic racism. When someone's
backed up into a corner, they're gonna

449
00:40:04.480 --> 00:40:07.440
lash out. And you know you
can't when she's literally doing that to this

450
00:40:07.519 --> 00:40:12.639
dude in his office, right,
And this is and here's the thing I

451
00:40:12.760 --> 00:40:17.480
understand. When people could become frustrated
and they think they're out of options and

452
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:21.360
they're just like, you know,
they go to the grocery store and it's

453
00:40:21.400 --> 00:40:24.320
they're having to make that decision,
especially with inflation and everything going on.

454
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:30.440
But in those instances, you've seen
those videos where they're like they check it

455
00:40:30.440 --> 00:40:36.480
out and then the person opens their
wallet or whatever, and they're like,

456
00:40:36.920 --> 00:40:39.000
oh, it's forty three to I
only have forty and they're making that decision

457
00:40:39.039 --> 00:40:43.519
about what to put back, and
you can see that they have literal staples

458
00:40:43.679 --> 00:40:45.800
on there, and you'll see generally
you'll see this as part of like a

459
00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:52.840
Good Samaritan video. This woman has
a thousand dollars worth of stuff. Okay,

460
00:40:53.159 --> 00:40:57.800
she's got a thousand dollars worth of
stuff, and she uses the word

461
00:40:57.880 --> 00:41:01.280
reparations to the clerk in a hushed
manner because I think she thinks and she's

462
00:41:01.320 --> 00:41:07.719
telling. She's telling. Again,
this is not me being mean to people

463
00:41:07.960 --> 00:41:13.840
who work at Target or Walmart or
any of the rest of it. Telling

464
00:41:13.960 --> 00:41:21.760
somebody who's working a checkout counter at
a big box store that they have immense

465
00:41:21.840 --> 00:41:30.800
privilege is not a good way to
influence people. What a poor method.

466
00:41:30.880 --> 00:41:36.280
They're a poor assumption. And her
argument is a lesser violent version of like

467
00:41:36.360 --> 00:41:40.320
whenever you have one of these tragic
incidents right where somebody that gets shot and

468
00:41:40.360 --> 00:41:45.239
then they loot a Walmart or they
burn the city down, and you have

469
00:41:45.320 --> 00:41:46.800
these people on CNN that are like, well, this is just a part

470
00:41:46.800 --> 00:41:50.239
of protesting. You know, these
people are back into a corner, so

471
00:41:50.280 --> 00:41:52.840
now they have to steal the TVs. It's the same exactly, She's making

472
00:41:52.840 --> 00:41:58.039
the same exact argument. They just
need bread, right, AOC made right.

473
00:41:58.079 --> 00:42:00.960
So it's just the same thing.
She's saying. I deserved this because

474
00:42:00.000 --> 00:42:02.920
the system has bagged me up into
a corner. So give me a thousand

475
00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:08.079
dollars worth of goods in my cart. But but but what the question is

476
00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:12.000
what else is in there a thousand
dollars? Don't get me wrong, I'm

477
00:42:12.039 --> 00:42:14.960
sure you've done the same where you
want. Especially, I don't know if

478
00:42:15.000 --> 00:42:19.480
I've ever spent a thousand dollars at
Target, right, maybe I have maybe

479
00:42:19.480 --> 00:42:23.039
buying like a maybe that's not not
even like a no, not even like

480
00:42:23.039 --> 00:42:27.480
a tea. You can buy the
best. I bought a pretty badass TV

481
00:42:27.559 --> 00:42:29.679
at Target and it wasn't a thousand
dollars, you know what I mean?

482
00:42:29.800 --> 00:42:34.440
Yeah, yeah, that's not My
point is that's not like the staples of

483
00:42:34.480 --> 00:42:37.079
food. Right. I bought a
table set at Target and it wasn't a

484
00:42:37.119 --> 00:42:39.760
thousand dollars? Like, what are
you buying? What's taking the most expensive

485
00:42:39.800 --> 00:42:43.400
thing I've ever bought a Target?
Now, granted, yes, you will

486
00:42:43.400 --> 00:42:45.519
go into a Target with a specific
list, and you always come out with

487
00:42:45.559 --> 00:42:47.239
more. Right, You're like,
I'm going to throw this in the car,

488
00:42:47.440 --> 00:42:51.440
that into the car. But it's
never you've never been at the register.

489
00:42:51.559 --> 00:42:53.880
But like a thousand dollars, Like, no, I've done those things,

490
00:42:54.000 --> 00:42:57.280
right, go there. I used
to shop grocery shop at Target a

491
00:42:57.280 --> 00:43:00.639
lot when I lived to Minneapolis because
they're kind of the grocery leader there because

492
00:43:00.679 --> 00:43:04.599
they're based in Minneapolis, so they
have all these and so I'd go there

493
00:43:04.639 --> 00:43:07.320
and it's the it's the whole thing, right. You go in there and

494
00:43:07.320 --> 00:43:09.199
you're thinking, oh, I got
about one hundred dollars on my list worth

495
00:43:09.199 --> 00:43:13.960
of stuff, and because yeah,
you walk down an aisle and you're like,

496
00:43:14.000 --> 00:43:16.400
oh, I need all of this
snack food and it's like one hundred

497
00:43:16.440 --> 00:43:22.000
and eighty and you make that groan. Right, But a thousand dollars.

498
00:43:22.400 --> 00:43:28.000
I don't believe I've ever spent a
thousand dollars at a Target. And not

499
00:43:28.079 --> 00:43:30.360
with one cart. You got one
cart. I mean even food is cheaper

500
00:43:30.400 --> 00:43:35.320
at Target compared to like local grocery
stores, a lot of them. Yeah,

501
00:43:35.400 --> 00:43:37.199
I know that because that's we choose
to shop at Target because it's cheaper.

502
00:43:37.880 --> 00:43:40.280
You don't want to go to Walmart
and fight over a pizza. What's

503
00:43:40.280 --> 00:43:44.159
wrong with that? God, I
haven't gotten into a Walmart since before COVID.

504
00:43:47.039 --> 00:43:50.960
It's all everything's locked up now anyway, So whatever, Yeah, we'll

505
00:43:50.960 --> 00:43:53.000
get to that story, all right. So let me let me give you

506
00:43:53.039 --> 00:43:58.840
the whole audio, because his ross
pointed out, listen to her argument and

507
00:43:58.880 --> 00:44:01.000
then listen to her bottle when the
police are like, nah, you did

508
00:44:01.079 --> 00:44:04.960
the wrong thing here, you back
come into an office and you got hit

509
00:44:04.960 --> 00:44:07.519
in the face. Unfortunately, when
people walking back into a partner, they

510
00:44:07.559 --> 00:44:12.400
can choose no, no, they
can choose to do the right thing,

511
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:16.559
or they can choose the lash out. Because you're the she says. The

512
00:44:16.559 --> 00:44:22.679
whole altercation was her way to take
a stand. This is not as Parks

513
00:44:22.760 --> 00:44:29.480
moment. You what, all right? Just a couple of things about Rosa

514
00:44:29.559 --> 00:44:34.719
Parks if I could one, and
this is people don't people fail to realize

515
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:37.840
this Rosa Parks And this doesn't I
don't even mean this derogatory because she was

516
00:44:38.199 --> 00:44:44.280
she was protesting something that was righteous. But Rosa Parks was an activist and

517
00:44:44.360 --> 00:44:47.960
actually she was with a group that
would go and do these things essentially to

518
00:44:49.039 --> 00:44:52.880
force the issue. And I don't
begrudge her that. But one of the

519
00:44:52.920 --> 00:44:58.239
big points that Rosa Parks made to
those police officers. Look it up if

520
00:44:58.239 --> 00:45:02.840
you don't believe me and the bus
driver and everyone else, is I paid

521
00:45:02.960 --> 00:45:07.360
the same as everybody else on this
bus. I'm going to sit here.

522
00:45:09.159 --> 00:45:14.199
And that was that's what made it
righteous. At that point. She wasn't

523
00:45:14.239 --> 00:45:17.039
asking for extras, she was asking
for equal right and she paid. I

524
00:45:17.119 --> 00:45:21.679
paid for my seat. I paid
as much as that guy did. And

525
00:45:21.760 --> 00:45:25.320
that woman who asked me to move
and screw you. I paid for it.

526
00:45:28.599 --> 00:45:37.400
She's not like I need I need
an annual bus pass. Absolutely bonkers

527
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:40.440
man. And to Ross's point,
he was talking about targets. So they

528
00:45:40.480 --> 00:45:44.760
had a video that somebody put out
of a Target store. Where was it

529
00:45:44.800 --> 00:45:47.239
was in California, right, or
was in Washington? Well, the West

530
00:45:47.320 --> 00:45:51.800
coast targets San Francisco, San Francis, of course it is. Yeah,

531
00:45:52.000 --> 00:45:55.199
they're probably not long for this world
out there. And you know when you

532
00:45:55.239 --> 00:46:00.920
go in like the one area in
like CVS where they have like the the

533
00:46:01.000 --> 00:46:06.360
you know the razors which apparently are
worth what your house is, and sometimes

534
00:46:06.360 --> 00:46:08.639
you gotta get them out of there. This is a whole Target store where

535
00:46:08.679 --> 00:46:16.480
everything is locked down in multiple aisles. And it's not just video video games,

536
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:20.519
you know, the stuff that they
would normally lock down because it had

537
00:46:20.559 --> 00:46:28.599
a high shoplifting rate video games and
be on their razor blades or replacement raisors,

538
00:46:28.599 --> 00:46:32.760
a few other things. This is
like every aisle is I don't how

539
00:46:32.760 --> 00:46:36.719
do you even shop there? Do
you just have to have a Target person

540
00:46:36.800 --> 00:46:40.800
follow you around with keys? I
don't know how you could functionally you shop

541
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:46.599
at Target ross. Could you shop
with everything locked down in every aisles?

542
00:46:46.880 --> 00:46:51.000
I mean could you? Yeah?
Would you want to know? Because it

543
00:46:51.039 --> 00:46:55.000
would take There's not enough Target employees
to go around and and sure you may

544
00:46:55.119 --> 00:46:59.239
be I'm going in there for one
thing and then find you still got to

545
00:46:59.280 --> 00:47:06.679
find somebody, but just cruising the
aisles. Video's bonker. Well we'll tweet,

546
00:47:06.719 --> 00:47:08.199
We'll tweet out the store. You
can see the video in there.

547
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:14.239
The business models of these stores are
just slowly going to turn into order online

548
00:47:14.320 --> 00:47:17.760
pickup at the you know, the
pickup spot or whatever, because he can't

549
00:47:17.800 --> 00:47:21.800
go You see these videos out of
Chicago. It's stuff where it's like,

550
00:47:22.159 --> 00:47:23.719
well, that's why they're leaving.
Yeah, and that's why they're locking everything

551
00:47:23.760 --> 00:47:25.960
up. And I'm telling you that's
where the business model is gonna go.

552
00:47:27.039 --> 00:47:29.280
This is gonna be like you know, you can order online, we can

553
00:47:29.320 --> 00:47:30.880
bring it out and you can pick
it up. This is why I chuckled

554
00:47:30.880 --> 00:47:35.679
when Amazon was talking about and they've
they've implemented some of these stores, but

555
00:47:35.760 --> 00:47:39.280
it basically functions like the little store
downstairs. Right. Yeah, it's the

556
00:47:39.400 --> 00:47:44.119
honor system, but not really because
they got a bunch of cameras. But

557
00:47:44.239 --> 00:47:47.199
you know, Amazon's thing was,
we're gonna we're gonna have these grocery stores.

558
00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:51.880
The only employees were gonna have are
basically the ones who stocked the shelf

559
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:55.920
and these stores and they've opened a
few of them. Basically, you fill

560
00:47:55.960 --> 00:48:01.159
your card up and you walk you
literally walk out. Uh you're there's a

561
00:48:01.159 --> 00:48:06.199
little area where you can put stuff
in bags if you want, but using

562
00:48:06.360 --> 00:48:12.440
scanning technology and I'm sure, wait
because there's a little thing you walk over.

563
00:48:12.480 --> 00:48:15.599
I've seen one of They have one
in DC and I went in there

564
00:48:15.599 --> 00:48:22.840
because I was curious. Using weight
and then the scanning technology basically it pops

565
00:48:22.840 --> 00:48:27.159
it all and then you can you
can there's a little thing you can pay

566
00:48:27.199 --> 00:48:30.320
at, or you can get an
account, and it just knows who you

567
00:48:30.360 --> 00:48:32.679
are based on I don't even know, because I didn't sign up for all

568
00:48:32.719 --> 00:48:37.280
that stuff. But a model where
anyone can walk in and grab whatever and

569
00:48:37.360 --> 00:48:44.400
stroll out of there and you don't
have to pre register. Amazon's insane if

570
00:48:44.440 --> 00:48:47.880
they think they're going to roll those
out in San Francisco, Chicago and many

571
00:48:47.960 --> 00:48:55.119
metros when all these other stories are
having a Fort Knox everything. So I

572
00:48:55.119 --> 00:49:00.199
don't know. I will say this
though, still a fan of just holling

573
00:49:00.320 --> 00:49:05.119
up and and it's been a hard
transition because I hate it online shopping for

574
00:49:05.239 --> 00:49:09.719
clothes, for fruits and vegetables.
I still hate it. But I just

575
00:49:09.760 --> 00:49:17.480
got a grocery delivery yesterday and you
know what, I'm kind of liking it,

576
00:49:17.559 --> 00:49:22.079
and uh what did I buy?
Vegetable and bananas, apples, avocados,

577
00:49:22.079 --> 00:49:25.800
And they did they They did a
good job of getting me stuff that

578
00:49:25.920 --> 00:49:29.599
was fresh and not beat to crap. I love it now, man.

579
00:49:29.719 --> 00:49:34.039
That's the one good thing to come
out of covid well that the uber eats

580
00:49:34.159 --> 00:49:37.039
by the way, leaving on your
doorstep and go away. This story the

581
00:49:37.119 --> 00:49:40.000
reparation of the woman that slapped the
guy, saying she deserved reparations at target.

582
00:49:40.280 --> 00:49:43.920
No, the guy slapped her right
right right, Yeah, it did

583
00:49:43.960 --> 00:49:46.159
happen while you were in vacation,
which you don't know is the original headlines

584
00:49:46.199 --> 00:49:50.679
for this story. We're all against
the dude because it was before the video,

585
00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:55.599
and now they've all changed and I
can't remember all that. The first

586
00:49:55.639 --> 00:49:58.599
time I read it, I don't
remember the source, but it was on

587
00:49:58.639 --> 00:50:01.119
Twitter and it was sort of the
headline of the story was like, dude

588
00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:09.119
slaps women saying you don't deserve reparations. Yeah, I saw it couched in

589
00:50:09.440 --> 00:50:13.480
a couple of links when I was
trying to find the proper because I saw

590
00:50:13.480 --> 00:50:15.400
it on Twitter the videos first,
and I tried to find a story putting

591
00:50:15.440 --> 00:50:20.400
the stack, and I saw several
versions that weren't that aggressive, but they

592
00:50:20.400 --> 00:50:27.079
were like target targeting, play accused
of assaulting woman who was asking for food

593
00:50:27.199 --> 00:50:31.119
or asking for free, free food
or something, And I'm like, I

594
00:50:31.159 --> 00:50:35.039
don't know about all that now that
I've seen the video, but I launched

595
00:50:35.079 --> 00:50:38.639
with the video. But even watching
the video, holy crap, people are

596
00:50:38.639 --> 00:50:43.440
in there like you know you still
you never hit it. You never hit

597
00:50:43.519 --> 00:50:45.199
a never hit a customer. They're
always right. And I'm like, I

598
00:50:45.199 --> 00:50:50.000
don't know, I don't know,
you're bull rushing me. I don't know

599
00:50:50.039 --> 00:50:53.800
what's up with you. You know. One of the things that can be

600
00:50:53.800 --> 00:51:02.920
incredibly disarming is quick action aggressive it
it It takes people out of what they're

601
00:51:02.920 --> 00:51:05.800
trying to do. Anyway, all
right, I gotta take a break.

602
00:51:05.840 --> 00:51:10.239
We'll be right back. Hang on. All right, lunch segment there,

607
00:51:37.199 --> 00:51:39.400
O Day Radio program. Oh boy, I got a cat story for all

608
00:51:39.400 --> 00:51:46.639
you cat crazy, crazy cat people. Although you know what, I'm down

609
00:51:46.679 --> 00:51:50.360
with this cat I just you know, I was just thinking about it.

610
00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:55.599
I was gonna go one direction,
I'm gonna go to the other direction.

611
00:51:55.599 --> 00:51:59.559
We'll get to that story here in
just a moment. So we're talking about

612
00:51:59.639 --> 00:52:04.119
this tar target story where this woman
goes in she gets a thousand dollars worth

613
00:52:04.119 --> 00:52:08.519
of merch. I don't know what
all it was, gets into line and

614
00:52:08.920 --> 00:52:15.159
literally is leaning in trying to have
this real quiet conversation with the woman checking

615
00:52:15.159 --> 00:52:21.440
her out, saying, um,
you're privileged. Actually hold on, let

616
00:52:21.480 --> 00:52:22.960
me play the audio for you and
we'll grab a call or two. Here.

617
00:52:25.199 --> 00:52:34.559
Here's from the report. I've had
a privileged life and she's been disadvantaged,

618
00:52:34.599 --> 00:52:37.159
and then said that she was asking
Target to make reparations for her.

619
00:52:37.880 --> 00:52:40.559
Yeah, so she's got a thousand
dollars worth of stuff. She's telling the

620
00:52:40.559 --> 00:52:45.480
woman checking her out, Hey,
you're privileged, I've been disadvantaged. Target

621
00:52:45.519 --> 00:52:50.079
needs to give me this one thousand
dollars worth of stuff as a form of

622
00:52:50.159 --> 00:52:54.159
reparations. And the clerk told her, well, that's not I can't do

623
00:52:54.199 --> 00:52:58.599
that. Why don't you come back
tomorrow when our store manager will be here,

624
00:52:59.639 --> 00:53:02.679
and she wants to talk to a
manager whoever's there. So this guy

625
00:53:02.760 --> 00:53:07.840
comes out and all of a sudden, he's like, yeah, we're not

626
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:13.320
gonna do that, and she just
she flips her lid man you can see

627
00:53:13.320 --> 00:53:16.559
in the video, gets super aggressive. She's screaming at him, and it's

628
00:53:16.599 --> 00:53:22.280
probably about fifty feet from the checkout
to the door where this guy's office is

629
00:53:22.800 --> 00:53:28.119
and she's chest bumping him and right
in his face, and he's retreating because

630
00:53:28.159 --> 00:53:31.039
his plan is she's out of her
mind. I'm gonna get in my office,

631
00:53:31.039 --> 00:53:36.519
shut the door, called the police, and we'll go from there.

632
00:53:36.559 --> 00:53:38.519
But she just comes busting through the
door, backs him into his office.

633
00:53:38.559 --> 00:53:44.119
He's got nowhere to go. He
smacks her. It doesn't punch her,

634
00:53:44.199 --> 00:53:52.360
per se, but he hits her
pretty good. Police show up. At

635
00:53:52.360 --> 00:53:54.960
first, they're you know, they're
they're on his ass, and then they

636
00:53:55.000 --> 00:54:00.519
see the video. They talk to
the witnesses and then this conversation and Sue,

637
00:54:00.639 --> 00:54:04.320
you're talking into an office and you
got hit in the face. Unfortunately,

638
00:54:04.320 --> 00:54:07.920
when people walk back into a partner, they can choose no, no,

639
00:54:07.360 --> 00:54:10.840
they can choose to do the right
thing, or they can choose the

640
00:54:10.920 --> 00:54:17.480
lash out. She says, the
whole altercation was her way to take a

641
00:54:17.599 --> 00:54:27.480
stand. This is not a park
smongent you that's insane, that's that's backcrap

642
00:54:27.559 --> 00:54:30.119
crazy. And we see all of
these stories going on in San Francisco.

643
00:54:30.199 --> 00:54:36.039
There's a target. Everything's behind the
lock case stores in Chicago getting out of

644
00:54:36.039 --> 00:54:40.119
there. San Francisco, to some
extent to other municipalities, Wahwak close seven

645
00:54:40.159 --> 00:54:47.079
of their stores in Philadelphia. Proper
people just go in there, and then

646
00:54:47.119 --> 00:54:52.199
they don't even just go in there
and like under cover of darkness right where

647
00:54:52.239 --> 00:54:57.320
they you know, try to shoplift
or anything. They go in and mass

648
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:00.079
or they get a group together.
You've seen these videos where they load up

649
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:04.960
a cart and they just go running
out, and you know, the people

650
00:55:04.960 --> 00:55:07.719
in charge of protecting the assets,
depending on which company they're with, they

651
00:55:07.760 --> 00:55:10.800
can't really do anything other than try
to get a license plate and call.

652
00:55:15.360 --> 00:55:16.679
What do you think would have happened
if you went running out of a store

653
00:55:16.719 --> 00:55:21.480
with a cart full of stuff when
you were a kid. And I'm not

654
00:55:21.679 --> 00:55:27.480
that old. I mean I'm in
my early forties, but I don't think

655
00:55:27.480 --> 00:55:30.000
that would have ended well. If
I went into IgA or DJs, which

656
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:34.719
were the two grocery stores in Buffalo, Wyoming, with a cart full of

657
00:55:34.760 --> 00:55:37.199
stuff and just trucked it out to
the parking lot, it was like,

658
00:55:37.239 --> 00:55:46.039
screw all, y'all. I'd be
physically restrained. So I understand. But

659
00:55:46.119 --> 00:55:51.199
the flip side is like targets taking
crap. Because they burned the one target

660
00:55:51.280 --> 00:55:54.320
down on Lake Street during the protest, and they were set to open another

661
00:55:54.840 --> 00:56:00.360
two stores in North Minneapolis, which
is kind of a tough area, and

662
00:56:00.320 --> 00:56:06.599
Target didn't, And then all of
a sudden, the activists like, well,

663
00:56:06.639 --> 00:56:13.639
you're a bunch of big fat racists. But if if you want to

664
00:56:13.679 --> 00:56:15.039
open a store. Look, if
you're choosing where you're going to open a

665
00:56:15.079 --> 00:56:23.880
store, you're choosing based on profitability. It's why you You wouldn't open a

666
00:56:23.920 --> 00:56:30.079
big box. You wouldn't open a
big box. Target in done, no

667
00:56:30.199 --> 00:56:32.960
offense to the folks, in't done. But you're just not gonna have the

668
00:56:32.960 --> 00:56:38.719
traffic there. It wouldn't be profitable
for you, well in the same way

669
00:56:38.760 --> 00:56:43.159
that you may open in a population
center. But you keep getting ripped off

670
00:56:45.440 --> 00:56:51.639
from a corporate decision standpoint. Why
would you do it? Craziness? All

671
00:56:51.719 --> 00:56:52.760
right, let me get a call
here, James. You're right in the

672
00:56:52.760 --> 00:57:00.159
middle of this. What's up.
Hey, So I have went and I've

673
00:57:00.199 --> 00:57:04.760
worked for a big box company for
over twenty years, roughly twenty three.

674
00:57:04.800 --> 00:57:08.159
I started right after two thousand and
Uh. You know, your highest,

675
00:57:08.280 --> 00:57:15.039
your most controllable expenses is your associates
that you have. I've been stabbed twice

676
00:57:15.519 --> 00:57:20.039
in the line of work that I'm
doing. For this big box company.

677
00:57:20.639 --> 00:57:23.239
I've been shop one. Can you
tell me? Can you tell me what

678
00:57:23.280 --> 00:57:29.000
the line is? Just an asset
protection I'm an asset protection manager for for

679
00:57:29.039 --> 00:57:32.119
a big box company. Okay,
Um, And people know I'm a higher

680
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:37.039
up, all right, Yeah,
I'm a higher up. So uh,

681
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:39.280
you know, you get people that
will come in and you don't know what

682
00:57:39.360 --> 00:57:43.840
you're dealing with. The guy from
Target, I did a little tour with

683
00:57:44.000 --> 00:57:50.599
Target. Also, I can guarantee
you that he was more than likely reprimanded.

684
00:57:50.840 --> 00:57:57.400
I've had two associates that got fired
for assisting police officers in that kind

685
00:57:57.440 --> 00:58:02.119
of wine award. Um, I've
personally been reprimanded to the point of almost

686
00:58:02.199 --> 00:58:10.159
termination for h the same thing.
You don't really know when you when you

687
00:58:10.239 --> 00:58:15.480
physical altercation. Oh yes, yes, I've been hit with a wine bottle

688
00:58:15.519 --> 00:58:22.039
before. I've been sued multiple times. Um. So yeah, I mean

689
00:58:22.079 --> 00:58:25.760
I can I can relate to the
guy, Yeah I can. I was.

690
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:29.880
I was glad to see the police
weren't having any of that crap.

691
00:58:29.960 --> 00:58:31.800
Unfortunately, that's not the way it
plays out. I'm sure in a lot

692
00:58:31.880 --> 00:58:36.719
of it. That's the Raleigh market. That's the Raleigh market, though,

693
00:58:36.760 --> 00:58:38.880
and it's like it's your home.
It's not Portland, Oregon, it's not

694
00:58:39.000 --> 00:58:44.559
Washington. This this, that stuff
happens here. You know when you're boarding

695
00:58:44.639 --> 00:58:49.000
up windows and uh, you know, why are your prices going up?

696
00:58:49.039 --> 00:58:51.960
Why are you why are you losing? Why is her your car? And

697
00:58:52.000 --> 00:58:55.840
there again, you know your quientele
that you have here is getting worse.

698
00:58:55.960 --> 00:59:00.719
So you know, the you know
you you are, you don't have any

699
00:59:00.840 --> 00:59:06.079
any checkouts open, but the people
that you do have are slowly deteriorating.

700
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:12.800
Yeah, just to be clear,
this actually took place in Ohio, but

701
00:59:13.280 --> 00:59:16.239
right right, but I'm saying that's
here. That same stuff happened, you

702
00:59:16.280 --> 00:59:21.639
know, on a daily basis,
on a daily basis in our backyard.

703
00:59:22.199 --> 00:59:23.440
You know, you got people.
I had a stop that I did.

704
00:59:23.440 --> 00:59:29.280
It was sixteen thousand dollars that they
just came in and just you know,

705
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:35.079
just hear smashing stuff, taking everything
out of cases. Yeah, I've seen

706
00:59:35.119 --> 00:59:37.480
a lot of the videos. I've
actually watched kind of in person, although

707
00:59:37.679 --> 00:59:44.440
predated this, where it was clear
this individual went into a clothing store and

708
00:59:44.480 --> 00:59:50.000
put about nine layers on underneath and
they were doing a stop and it was

709
00:59:50.039 --> 00:59:53.119
too it looked like they were high
school or like early college girls, and

710
00:59:53.960 --> 00:59:58.639
they let them walk. After that, they confronted them kind of, but

711
00:59:58.679 --> 01:00:00.639
they let them walk, and there
was basically they got they followed him.

712
01:00:00.639 --> 01:00:04.360
It was at the mall, Crabtree
Valley Mall. They followed him out to

713
01:00:04.400 --> 01:00:07.760
the parking lot, took a license
plate. I don't know what what happens,

714
01:00:07.840 --> 01:00:13.400
but I'm assuming that everyone's adjusted their
policy to that now. So what

715
01:00:13.519 --> 01:00:16.360
is that happened? They just pulled
out fold out cameras like and just started

716
01:00:16.360 --> 01:00:21.719
wanting to report. And everybody wants
to play money more in quarterback after you

717
01:00:21.800 --> 01:00:23.880
know, you see someone, they
though I would have did this, I

718
01:00:24.000 --> 01:00:28.119
would have did did that? No, I just laid on the ground.

719
01:00:28.159 --> 01:00:30.239
I bled, you know. Yeah, Well, and let me ask you

720
01:00:30.280 --> 01:00:34.320
a question. You don't have to
get into specifics. Um. I'm not

721
01:00:34.320 --> 01:00:37.400
gonna ask you where you work or
anything like that, but uh, you

722
01:00:37.480 --> 01:00:40.679
know the thing that I get told
or that the rebuttal will be, well,

723
01:00:40.840 --> 01:00:45.519
they're over here, they're profiling,
they're harassing people, and in reality

724
01:00:45.519 --> 01:00:50.679
that their their their employees steal from
them a lot more. I don't know

725
01:00:50.719 --> 01:00:54.800
what the big deal is. Um, that's obviously a concern. But when

726
01:00:54.840 --> 01:00:59.039
you're sitting there and you're trying to
identify somebody who may be up to no

727
01:00:59.159 --> 01:01:04.239
good. I'm assuming that there's a
pretty set there's there's certain set things that

728
01:01:04.320 --> 01:01:08.280
people do because most people are not
good criminals, right, they give themselves

729
01:01:08.320 --> 01:01:15.519
away. Has that evolved over the
twenty years? And how substantially, very

730
01:01:15.519 --> 01:01:20.480
substantially, because over the twenty years
you didn't have the technology that technology,

731
01:01:20.639 --> 01:01:22.559
you know, Bluetooth headsets, you
know, you don't know who they're talking

732
01:01:22.559 --> 01:01:27.039
to, you can be talking on
the phone. Then the way that they

733
01:01:27.039 --> 01:01:30.199
can feel stuff now is completely different. You know, they're sticking it,

734
01:01:30.320 --> 01:01:34.920
not only under their clothes. I've
had people sticked up in their mouth.

735
01:01:36.760 --> 01:01:38.599
So now they're not even heighten it, they're just rolling out like what are

736
01:01:38.599 --> 01:01:43.320
you going to do about it?
Well? Right, and you know,

737
01:01:43.480 --> 01:01:46.639
you you're not allowed to actually stop
people stop people anymore. So it kind

738
01:01:46.679 --> 01:01:51.719
of keeps taking away more and more
and more away from and it's every company,

739
01:01:51.719 --> 01:01:54.280
it's not just the company that I
work for. But you get into

740
01:01:54.400 --> 01:01:58.679
the point to where you people say, well, you are profiling them.

741
01:01:58.719 --> 01:02:02.519
You know, you are looking at
me because of race, sex, ethnicity,

742
01:02:02.679 --> 01:02:06.960
you know, and really all it
was because you're just now you're breaking

743
01:02:07.000 --> 01:02:10.519
the law. Well yeah, and
then when I watched those videos, and

744
01:02:10.559 --> 01:02:13.840
I know you watched them too,
I'm like, oh, yeah, that

745
01:02:13.920 --> 01:02:17.079
person looks like they're up to no
good. Right, it's just really they're

746
01:02:17.119 --> 01:02:20.920
just really bad. I mean,
they're looking around all the things that you

747
01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:23.840
shouldn't do. Um, but now
it's just so blatant in a lot of

748
01:02:23.840 --> 01:02:27.159
these cases. All right, well, I appreciate you hanging on, sir,

749
01:02:27.400 --> 01:02:30.280
Thank you for the call. Smoke
with a wine bottle today? Was

750
01:02:30.280 --> 01:02:37.440
it red or white? But it
was a red wine? Was like the

751
01:02:37.559 --> 01:02:42.480
guy that stabbed me was about seventy
years old and I just asked for his

752
01:02:42.599 --> 01:02:45.280
receipt and he said, I got
it right here. He pulled out a

753
01:02:45.280 --> 01:02:49.199
butcher knife and stabbed me. Jeez. All right, well I'm glad it

754
01:02:49.239 --> 01:02:52.119
was red, sir. White would
be assaulted, all right, very willing,

755
01:02:52.360 --> 01:02:58.519
thank you. Well, no,
look, you want to be stabbed

756
01:02:58.960 --> 01:03:02.440
or you want to be assaulted with
the chardonnay or more low. I'm just

757
01:03:02.480 --> 01:03:07.039
saying, all right, seven forty
seven race stage from the Weather Channel is

758
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:12.079
here to assault you with weather facts. What do even guess? Lots of

759
01:03:12.079 --> 01:03:14.760
weather facts well, the facts are
a little more clouds start to come in

760
01:03:14.800 --> 01:03:19.639
today a little ahead of schedule.
Otherwise, sunshine, especially from about the

761
01:03:19.719 --> 01:03:22.119
Triangle and east. There's a little
more cloud to the west of US.

762
01:03:22.199 --> 01:03:24.880
Even some sprinkles rain out near Asheville. Low seventies today, so we're starting

763
01:03:24.920 --> 01:03:29.840
to creep back closer to normal after
being in the mid upper sixties yesterday.

764
01:03:30.119 --> 01:03:32.199
That will see the rain chances go
up a little bit tomorrow slight chance of

765
01:03:32.239 --> 01:03:36.360
showers, load of mid seventies,
and a better chance for Friday and Friday

766
01:03:36.400 --> 01:03:38.239
night of showers and thunderstorms to be
scattered around. Maybe over an inch of

767
01:03:38.280 --> 01:03:43.079
rainfall on Friday and then into Friday
night maybe a little bit more. And

768
01:03:43.159 --> 01:03:45.599
that's an early shower Saturday. I
think most of Saturday will be dry,

769
01:03:45.760 --> 01:03:50.920
upper seventies to maybe the lower eighties, but then Sunday afternoon the showers are

770
01:03:50.920 --> 01:03:52.880
going to return into Sunday night.
So how to get off again, Casey,

771
01:03:52.920 --> 01:03:55.880
I think with the wet weather,
best chance, best coverage probably as

772
01:03:55.880 --> 01:04:00.599
we go through the second part of
Friday into Friday night, and then another

773
01:04:00.679 --> 01:04:03.559
chance coming in Sunday afternoon into Sunday
night. All right, thank you,

774
01:04:03.599 --> 01:04:08.039
sir, appreciate it. We'll talk
in an hour. All right, forty

775
01:04:08.079 --> 01:04:11.199
eight, take a break, come
back. I got a crazy cat story

776
01:04:11.280 --> 01:04:15.239
for you. Crazy but you know
what I kind of want. I want

777
01:04:15.239 --> 01:04:19.880
to adopt this cat's you'll see why. Hang on, we'll get to it

778
01:04:20.000 --> 01:04:30.239
next. Celebrating ten years and still
going strong. Thank you. Casey is

779
01:04:30.280 --> 01:04:35.039
on ninety four five WPTI in the
Triad and one oh six one FM Talk

780
01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:40.639
in the Triangle. All right,
ready for a whacked out story? I

781
01:04:40.639 --> 01:04:45.119
got one before you right here.
El Paso, Tajas, El Paso,

782
01:04:45.199 --> 01:04:59.000
Texas. Prison officials have removed and
Egyptian hairless cat from a prison so I

783
01:04:59.039 --> 01:05:00.400
don't know. I don't know if
this things living in the yard or up

784
01:05:00.400 --> 01:05:06.440
in the prison or whatever. Man. And it's been turned over now to

785
01:05:06.599 --> 01:05:14.199
a pet rescue after authorities say they
found the cat, which again is an

786
01:05:14.199 --> 01:05:23.320
Egyptian hairless cat covered in Mexican gang
tattoos. The prisoners had tatted the cat

787
01:05:23.480 --> 01:05:32.719
up. Some examples tear drops made
in Mexico's all in Spanish, but essentially

788
01:05:34.440 --> 01:05:43.679
has show in Mexico in Mexico made
in Mexico, as well as um elnetto

789
01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:49.519
a bunch of southern Mexican gang tattoos. I'm not. I mean, obviously

790
01:05:49.519 --> 01:05:53.400
you're talking about animal abuse there,
and we can make cat jokes, but

791
01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:56.800
I'm not down with that. But
this cat is this cat looks badass.

792
01:05:57.440 --> 01:06:03.719
I want to adopt this cat.
Ross. Can you imagine if you got

793
01:06:03.760 --> 01:06:12.000
this cat at your house, the
like some guys roll up to rob your

794
01:06:12.000 --> 01:06:15.760
house. Meanwhile, you know this
cat's in the yard, you know,

795
01:06:16.199 --> 01:06:19.840
bench pressing or whatever they do,
because there's a prison cat got some tear

796
01:06:19.920 --> 01:06:27.239
drop tattoos. Right, you're breaking
into that house. You see that.

797
01:06:27.400 --> 01:06:30.920
You see a cat, a cat
covered in Mexican gang tattoos. You're robbing

798
01:06:31.000 --> 01:06:34.760
that house. There's no way in
hell. No, you're rolling by.

799
01:06:34.840 --> 01:06:38.599
You're like, yes, they got
to Esteloco. Man, You're like,

800
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:44.159
that cat is crazy, there's no
way that's that. I think that cat

801
01:06:44.199 --> 01:06:50.079
would be a wonderful deterrent, Like
I would suggest you get it. But

802
01:06:50.159 --> 01:06:53.760
the problem is is you already got
a cat, and I don't need this

803
01:06:53.800 --> 01:06:56.719
cat coming in making your cat as
be you know what I'm saying. I've

804
01:06:56.760 --> 01:07:00.199
got two cats, so yeah,
no, oh, excuse me, Well

805
01:07:00.199 --> 01:07:00.920
I don't you know, you don't
want to come in in there, and

806
01:07:01.360 --> 01:07:05.000
you know, trying to alpha the
other cats. Although it might look at

807
01:07:05.000 --> 01:07:09.639
your cat, you're like, go, bros eaten plastic d my cats.

808
01:07:09.639 --> 01:07:14.199
They're nuts. So guys out of
his mind. But yeah, you got

809
01:07:14.239 --> 01:07:24.360
a cat running around covered in in
uh you know Cineloa cartel tattoos, got

810
01:07:24.360 --> 01:07:27.639
tear drops. Who'd thatt cat kill? I don't know, like three people

811
01:07:28.360 --> 01:07:31.119
cats? That's yeah. I always
suggested the cats. You know, if

812
01:07:31.159 --> 01:07:35.039
you dropped dead, they're just gonna
eat you. This cat apparently has hurried

813
01:07:35.079 --> 01:07:46.400
the process several times. Specifically,
the tattoos speak to the Mexicalis gang that's

814
01:07:46.519 --> 01:07:57.039
nice, led by Ernesto alnetto Alfredo
Pignone. I don't know if it's his

815
01:07:57.239 --> 01:08:00.280
cat. In addition to the all
right, check this out, what is

816
01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:03.119
going on at prisons man? In
addition to the tatted up game, tattoo

817
01:08:03.239 --> 01:08:12.480
cat authorities say they also found plasma
TV sets. How did you get that?

818
01:08:12.679 --> 01:08:25.680
In drugs, liquor and cash?
Wait, hold on, this is

819
01:08:25.840 --> 01:08:31.880
bonkers. Okay, So so they
found several plasma TVs. I wonder how

820
01:08:31.920 --> 01:08:36.119
big they were. I would look
for the dude who's not walking very well,

821
01:08:38.880 --> 01:08:43.279
probably the guy drugs liquor and cash. Well, this sounds like guard

822
01:08:43.319 --> 01:08:47.439
stuff. The very same prison.
Oh check this out. So the very

823
01:08:47.479 --> 01:08:57.439
same prison which sits right there off
of Warez down an El Paso Warrez area

824
01:08:57.680 --> 01:09:04.119
had had previous incidents of people smuggling
stuff in and at one point officials in

825
01:09:04.279 --> 01:09:08.279
a in a I guess they have
like a work farm near it or something,

826
01:09:08.880 --> 01:09:15.159
say that they started to crack down
after jailer's discovered a mechanical bull.

827
01:09:15.520 --> 01:09:19.199
You smuggled a mechanic. What is
going on, man? I guess if

828
01:09:19.199 --> 01:09:23.239
it's the no fence part of it, But no, this was up in

829
01:09:23.239 --> 01:09:31.079
the prison. Yeah, dude,
I want that. I want the cat.

830
01:09:31.319 --> 01:09:38.680
I want. I want the cartel
cat. You can have all the

831
01:09:38.720 --> 01:09:43.479
gun stickers you want. You got
a cat out there with tear drop tattoos,

832
01:09:43.479 --> 01:09:48.079
smoking a cigarette bench press and working
all swool. Nobody's screwing with your

833
01:09:48.079 --> 01:09:54.600
house man, not a chance.
Look at that. I found a cat

834
01:09:54.640 --> 01:10:39.479
I would adopt. You're welcome,
they guaranteed offer. Remember all right,

835
01:10:39.479 --> 01:10:45.159
good morning that he goes seven TCO
gay radio program. It's craziness we get

836
01:10:45.159 --> 01:10:50.920
of Craziness'll let you know what the
city of Nashville's up too. I don't

837
01:10:50.960 --> 01:10:54.800
know if you know how it's been
going down there, but basically they're like,

838
01:10:54.880 --> 01:10:58.199
hey, you know, what what
if we h what if we just

839
01:10:58.199 --> 01:11:00.920
don't hold anybody accountable and forced laws
any of that. And I mentioned what

840
01:11:00.960 --> 01:11:03.600
happened when I went to that wedding
last year. My buddy got married to

841
01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:08.199
Nashville, and I went down.
We were there for a few days,

842
01:11:08.279 --> 01:11:12.119
and it was like it was a
morning over the morning after. I can't

843
01:11:12.119 --> 01:11:14.079
remember the wedding, and I'm like, you know, I'm gonna go get

844
01:11:14.079 --> 01:11:16.079
a bloody Mary and a big breakfast
thing. And you go to that little

845
01:11:16.119 --> 01:11:20.079
central area of Ashville and I'm just
just driving around, trying to find a

846
01:11:20.119 --> 01:11:26.399
place to park, and some goliath
homeless guys flicking cigarettes at the windshield.

847
01:11:28.039 --> 01:11:30.720
Just lawless man, just lawless.
And I told you another friend who was

848
01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:34.319
there, and he wouldn't like do
the bidding of a homeless guy in the

849
01:11:34.359 --> 01:11:39.760
moon bats were like brating him over
it because he wouldn't he told a homeless

850
01:11:39.800 --> 01:11:46.720
guy to quit bugging him. Well, Ashville's realized that that's that's now created

851
01:11:46.760 --> 01:11:54.880
one of the most nationally covered national
news doing stories rising violent crime rates in

852
01:11:54.960 --> 01:12:00.119
recent years, and it don't look
good. So now they've announced the going

853
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:04.640
to do some stuff. They're gonna
take quote unquote targeted steps. It's so

854
01:12:04.680 --> 01:12:08.840
bad though. They announced them,
but they're not starting them till May first.

855
01:12:09.640 --> 01:12:12.239
I don't understand why you'd be like, all right, we're gonna do

856
01:12:12.279 --> 01:12:16.000
this stuff, but we're not gonna
do it until next Monday. But I'll

857
01:12:16.039 --> 01:12:19.159
let you know what they think is
gonna work. Spoiler. I don't think

858
01:12:19.159 --> 01:12:23.880
it's gonna work. Also, I'm
very intrigued and I'm reading this story about

859
01:12:23.880 --> 01:12:31.000
this cat. This is down in
right on the right on the Texas Mexico

860
01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:40.840
border, worez el Paso area.
Down there, authorities who were attempting basically,

861
01:12:40.880 --> 01:12:44.039
they were they were going through and
they were trying to find contraband.

862
01:12:44.079 --> 01:12:47.399
In the prisons. They found a
lot of stuff plasma, TV drugs,

863
01:12:47.439 --> 01:12:50.039
alcohol, you know, the stuff
you'd expect. Not the TVs though,

864
01:12:51.039 --> 01:12:59.880
but also several animals, several pets, including one Egyptian hairless cat that was

865
01:13:00.079 --> 01:13:06.000
is covered in Mexican game tattoos.
So they brought it over to a shelter.

866
01:13:06.039 --> 01:13:12.399
They're adopting it. The other ones. I want this cat. You,

867
01:13:12.560 --> 01:13:15.319
I'm telling you, this should be
the greatest crime to turn on the

868
01:13:15.359 --> 01:13:24.000
planet. There is no way you're
going into dude's house whose cat is tatted

869
01:13:24.119 --> 01:13:29.960
up like one of the cartel enforcer. You get it. You get that,

870
01:13:30.119 --> 01:13:32.000
You get a little weightset out front
like a prison yard. You get

871
01:13:32.119 --> 01:13:38.960
the tiny little barrel of acid for
its victims. People rolling right on by.

872
01:13:39.079 --> 01:13:43.880
Man, they're not screwing with me. I want this cat, apparently

873
01:13:43.880 --> 01:13:50.319
though they already have applications in and
I didn't make the lists. But plus,

874
01:13:50.319 --> 01:13:54.159
this cat's gonna make money because you
know it's gonna be running schemes and

875
01:13:54.199 --> 01:13:59.479
stuff. It's gonna you see these
other cats show up intermittently, right,

876
01:14:00.000 --> 01:14:03.000
one of them kittens pretty dark stuff, right, But you see one of

877
01:14:03.000 --> 01:14:06.199
those cats rubbing its butt across the
carpet. It ain't tape worms, it's

878
01:14:06.439 --> 01:14:12.600
cocaine balloons. Right. But ain't
none of my business. Just protect the

879
01:14:12.640 --> 01:14:19.119
house anyway. Let me grab some
calls on the cat. We'll get to

880
01:14:19.119 --> 01:14:24.840
the Asheville thing momentarily. Yes,
Jim, what's up? Hey, Casey?

881
01:14:24.960 --> 01:14:30.920
I just want to applaud you on
your willingness to adopt this cat.

882
01:14:30.720 --> 01:14:34.840
Great selfish it is slightly selfish.
I want the home protection aspect of it.

883
01:14:35.079 --> 01:14:41.159
So well, I think you're also
looking out for his potential companion whiskey.

884
01:14:41.239 --> 01:14:45.640
Say you'll have whiskey and tequila,
but a word of cosson though your

885
01:14:45.720 --> 01:14:49.640
one cat away from being a crazy
cat lady. Well you know what,

886
01:14:49.760 --> 01:14:55.000
sir, Even though whiskey wasn't real, maybe the imaginary whiskey across the cartel.

887
01:14:55.039 --> 01:15:00.439
Do you ever think of that?
Wow? So he's out in the

888
01:15:00.000 --> 01:15:04.000
pine bearing somewhere. I'm just saying, I don't know, sir. I

889
01:15:04.039 --> 01:15:10.880
don't ask questions as uh as we've
mentioned on this show, it's none of

890
01:15:10.920 --> 01:15:15.520
my business. Got well again,
Hey all the cats out there, thank

891
01:15:15.560 --> 01:15:18.680
you? Okay, all right,
thank you very much, appreciate it.

892
01:15:19.399 --> 01:15:27.680
Yeah, oh man, all right, Well hold on one more called Donna.

893
01:15:27.760 --> 01:15:31.039
What's up? Good morning, casey
morning. I just want to tell

894
01:15:31.079 --> 01:15:35.680
you that your logic is flawed on
two fronts. And what sense on the

895
01:15:35.720 --> 01:15:45.359
cat? Yes? Why? Yeah, Well, it's more amazing that we

896
01:15:45.479 --> 01:15:48.840
were able to tattoo a cat than
it was than it is that they got

897
01:15:48.880 --> 01:15:54.680
in plasma television. And I talked
to Ross off the air, I said,

898
01:15:54.760 --> 01:15:57.439
what was off the air, I
said, yeah, I don't understand

899
01:15:57.439 --> 01:16:00.479
how they tatted this cat. I
thought I was going to die have blood

900
01:16:00.479 --> 01:16:03.560
loss trying to get my mom's cat
into the carrier at the time. Exactly

901
01:16:03.840 --> 01:16:09.479
so. And on the second point
that I'd like to make is that he

902
01:16:09.560 --> 01:16:15.880
would not make a good um deterrent
for your home because he must be declaude.

903
01:16:15.199 --> 01:16:19.840
If they were able to tattoo this
cat, there's no way we just

904
01:16:20.000 --> 01:16:24.800
take hours to get her nails clipped. We have to fight with her,

905
01:16:24.960 --> 01:16:28.960
like nah, you think about Mexican
gang bangers who are tatting this cat up,

906
01:16:29.000 --> 01:16:32.279
are going to declaw the thing?
Hell no, they want that as

907
01:16:32.279 --> 01:16:38.359
badass as possible. I don't think
so. I don't think so. And

908
01:16:38.680 --> 01:16:43.279
you know, maybe they had a
guard take it to get declaude. I

909
01:16:43.319 --> 01:16:45.239
wonder how they got some of that
stuff in there. So I'm sure somebody's

910
01:16:45.560 --> 01:16:48.800
working with gang members when it,
when it boils right down to it,

911
01:16:49.119 --> 01:16:56.840
would also be afraid of a cat
with claws. You know, it's a

912
01:16:56.960 --> 01:17:01.159
visual deterrent. I don't even need
it to physically. Okay, right on,

913
01:17:01.399 --> 01:17:06.000
I can appreciate you're like that guy
is so crazy as cats tatted up

914
01:17:06.000 --> 01:17:12.560
with gang tete there, all right, into that dude's house, all right,

915
01:17:12.720 --> 01:17:17.000
thank you day. Yeah, I
don't think my logic has flowed at

916
01:17:17.000 --> 01:17:26.000
all. What do we name the
cat? You gotta you also gotta give

917
01:17:26.000 --> 01:17:30.800
it a crazy name, man,
right because all these guys, um,

918
01:17:30.880 --> 01:17:34.880
you know, the real badasses,
whether it's the mob or gang members,

919
01:17:35.000 --> 01:17:39.359
the Mexican cartels or whatever, a
lot of them have these names that are

920
01:17:39.399 --> 01:17:47.319
just like you know, crazy nicknames. We'll figure it out. I'm just

921
01:17:47.359 --> 01:17:56.279
saying this is um. There's a
lot of possibilities here. By the way,

922
01:17:56.319 --> 01:18:00.600
if you're headed to Disney h starting
in June, they just announced they're

923
01:18:00.600 --> 01:18:04.800
going to be closing, uh,
several rides that are a crowd favorites starting

924
01:18:04.880 --> 01:18:11.119
June fifth. Peter Pan's Flight,
Mister Toad's Wild Ride, Alice in Wonderland,

925
01:18:11.920 --> 01:18:17.840
and the Little Mermaid Aerials Undersea Adventure
will all be closed as part of

926
01:18:17.920 --> 01:18:24.960
refurbishments. However, they did not
announce when they will reopen. It looks

927
01:18:25.000 --> 01:18:27.840
like your people mover is good to
go, So how nice for you.

928
01:18:27.960 --> 01:18:30.560
Ross. Let's see, do you
go on those rides or are there only

929
01:18:30.600 --> 01:18:33.800
specific rides or do you try to
target all of the rides when you go

930
01:18:33.840 --> 01:18:40.239
there, if that's even possible.
We have. He said that we because

931
01:18:40.279 --> 01:18:45.399
of the Lincoln's auntists and we sort
of go on the same rides repeatedly.

932
01:18:46.840 --> 01:18:50.880
Well, he's what he likes.
Haunted man was haunted manned mansion. It's

933
01:18:50.920 --> 01:18:59.399
a small world. Loves the people
mover, it's a small world. You

934
01:18:59.439 --> 01:19:01.359
have to go on that a bunch. Oh man, you got some noise

935
01:19:01.359 --> 01:19:06.560
canceling headphones. It's not bad.
Really, What if you end up like

936
01:19:06.600 --> 01:19:12.840
those people last year? I remember
the thing next to fire department. Just

937
01:19:12.840 --> 01:19:16.920
don't hear it after a while.
Okay, all right, Well just an

938
01:19:16.960 --> 01:19:23.000
fyire for people maybe planning some summer
vak al right to the city o Asheville.

939
01:19:25.000 --> 01:19:30.680
UH. City leaders have announced a
sixty day initiative to improve conditions in

940
01:19:30.760 --> 01:19:34.399
downtown amid a crisis and police staffing. Maybe you should address why you have

941
01:19:34.439 --> 01:19:41.920
a police staffing crisis. Could it
be you literally redirecting a bunch of their

942
01:19:41.960 --> 01:19:48.359
funding, putting a firing hiring fee
freeze for a while, demonizing them at

943
01:19:48.439 --> 01:19:55.239
every council meeting. I mean that
probably might affect some of it. According

944
01:19:55.239 --> 01:20:01.359
to a news release um AM,
beginning May first, the sixty day initiative

945
01:20:01.399 --> 01:20:06.640
will kick off. Quote, there
are complex circumstances contributing to the safety issues

946
01:20:06.640 --> 01:20:13.359
that Asheville is currently seen downtown and
will take a community response to address them.

947
01:20:13.800 --> 01:20:17.640
According to the city press release,
multiple city departments are coordinating a city

948
01:20:17.680 --> 01:20:25.479
government response, and we also need
participation from community leaders and partners to address

949
01:20:25.600 --> 01:20:29.479
all factors. Look, you know, so they're putting this out there like

950
01:20:29.520 --> 01:20:32.640
there's one hundred and one reasons this
thing's going sideways, when in reality,

951
01:20:34.279 --> 01:20:39.760
probably just a handful, and most
of them probably have to do with leadership

952
01:20:40.399 --> 01:20:45.479
in not the community, but of
the community in the form of elected officials.

953
01:20:47.239 --> 01:20:51.119
All right, here we go.
So the new initiative will include increased

954
01:20:51.159 --> 01:20:56.960
law enforcement presence downtown. Okay,
that's good. That's probably a good thing.

955
01:20:59.600 --> 01:21:05.359
All so, city staffers will devote
attention on a more regular basis to

956
01:21:05.479 --> 01:21:15.920
keeping downtown free of needles and biological
waste. Oh good god, are they

957
01:21:15.960 --> 01:21:19.079
bringing it? I know they're bringing
in. Oh yeah, here we go,

958
01:21:20.840 --> 01:21:25.359
Yep, here we go. The
city will further launch a Community Responder

959
01:21:25.439 --> 01:21:30.840
pilot program to support individuals in crisis
and provide a more visible city public safety

960
01:21:30.880 --> 01:21:35.279
press presence outside of law enforcement.
All right, so they are doing the

961
01:21:35.319 --> 01:21:40.239
social worker thing. Let me tell
you what that guy I mentioned that will

962
01:21:40.319 --> 01:21:45.000
run in with that, that homeless
dude flicking the cigarette and screaming at me

963
01:21:45.079 --> 01:21:48.199
like a crazy person. Do I
think that he could benefit probably from some

964
01:21:48.239 --> 01:21:54.840
mental health stuff. Probably, And
I don't know all the reasons he's there

965
01:21:54.840 --> 01:21:58.000
the situation. But let me tell
you what is somebody just going into downtown

966
01:21:58.079 --> 01:22:05.000
Asheville. While I'm not non sympathetic
to that, I don't need some social

967
01:22:05.039 --> 01:22:11.319
worker then standing there going Bob,
why are you flicking cigarettes at this tourist

968
01:22:11.399 --> 01:22:15.600
car. No, I want police
to go in there and be like,

969
01:22:15.720 --> 01:22:21.359
get over here, lunatic, and
then take them away. I can't imagine

970
01:22:21.399 --> 01:22:26.520
trying to do business in downtown Nashville, which is it's an expensive place to

971
01:22:26.600 --> 01:22:33.560
do it anyway. But if you're
killing the tourist presidence over there because they

972
01:22:33.560 --> 01:22:35.399
just don't want to deal with it, I'll tell you what. I didn't

973
01:22:35.399 --> 01:22:39.640
want to go back after that.
I was there for like three we're there

974
01:22:39.680 --> 01:22:43.920
for like three or four days for
the wedding, got a pregame, and

975
01:22:44.000 --> 01:22:47.800
then he got a post game and
recover. But after that one little trip

976
01:22:47.840 --> 01:22:50.520
down there. I'm like, you
know what, I'm good. I'm gonna

977
01:22:50.520 --> 01:23:00.680
stay over here by the hotel,
a new downtown safety and NISI. At

978
01:23:00.680 --> 01:23:02.840
the end of sixty days, staff
will assays whether or not our actions.

979
01:23:02.920 --> 01:23:06.760
Here's what they're not putting in here, and I think it is probably the

980
01:23:06.800 --> 01:23:12.239
crime statistics that came out. The
City of Chicago pulled this crap years ago,

981
01:23:12.279 --> 01:23:16.279
and many other places have. One
of the ways to immediately slice those

982
01:23:16.399 --> 01:23:26.920
numbers is to start recalibrating what actually
fits the definition of the reportable crimes.

983
01:23:27.720 --> 01:23:33.520
Chicago did it two ways. One, they changed what actually qualifies as a

984
01:23:33.640 --> 01:23:39.119
violent crime, so you saw these
numbers go down, But they also changed

985
01:23:39.399 --> 01:23:45.399
what they can what they considered the
reportable area. So Chicago was trying to

986
01:23:45.439 --> 01:23:50.800
deal with what's known as inside the
loop. Now that's what they're dealing with

987
01:23:50.880 --> 01:23:55.239
now, and then outside the loop, even if it's in the city of

988
01:23:55.319 --> 01:23:59.520
Chicago, it's separate. So the
numbers they were showing you was from the

989
01:23:59.560 --> 01:24:06.199
totality of the Chicago area. And
then they redefined the area they were attempting

990
01:24:06.199 --> 01:24:11.560
to address. And so then they
would send press releases to reporters who knew

991
01:24:11.600 --> 01:24:15.800
what was up and then wouldn't even
explain this, And then the numbers looked

992
01:24:15.840 --> 01:24:17.960
like they were increased or they were
decreasing, and of course they were.

993
01:24:18.119 --> 01:24:26.239
A geographic area was much smaller.
But also you found out that a couple

994
01:24:26.319 --> 01:24:31.800
other things benefited one. They redefined
what was the threshold for to be a

995
01:24:31.920 --> 01:24:39.399
violent crime, So like the example
would be you rob somebody with a gun

996
01:24:39.760 --> 01:24:43.640
or with a weapon, or a
threat right to be just I got a

997
01:24:43.680 --> 01:24:46.159
finger in a pot, whatever it
is, that would be considered a violent

998
01:24:46.199 --> 01:24:53.800
crime. But they reclassified some of
them to require that physical contact be made.

999
01:24:55.279 --> 01:24:57.279
And I don't know what the city
of Asheville is up to, but

1000
01:24:57.319 --> 01:25:02.760
I've seen this thing before, so
good luck. But you're killing that.

1001
01:25:02.760 --> 01:25:08.960
You're slaying the golden goose Man.
Of all the cities in the state of

1002
01:25:09.000 --> 01:25:14.279
North Carolina, I gotta think easily
Asheville. If they're not the top as

1003
01:25:14.319 --> 01:25:19.399
a percentage of revenue derived from visitors, they're pretty close For the larger cities.

1004
01:25:19.439 --> 01:25:24.159
Obviously, some of the beach towns
that are ghost towns outside of summer

1005
01:25:24.760 --> 01:25:30.560
they don't qualify. But you know, Asheville is really, really, really

1006
01:25:30.960 --> 01:25:39.119
needing those tourist dollars, and I
gotta think the tax revenues dying on the

1007
01:25:39.199 --> 01:25:41.199
vine there. All right, So
there you go. If you're gonna make

1008
01:25:41.199 --> 01:25:47.359
a trip to Asheville, go after
May first, and for sixty days,

1009
01:25:47.680 --> 01:25:55.720
everything's gonna be fine. According to
the city leaders who screwed this whole thing

1010
01:25:55.800 --> 01:25:59.239
up in the first place. All
right, we gotta get into this story.

1011
01:25:59.279 --> 01:26:00.880
We'll do it coming up. Let
me just tease it real quick.

1012
01:26:01.439 --> 01:26:08.840
Well, two stories. One,
one of the craziest on airplane freakouts a

1013
01:26:08.920 --> 01:26:13.640
brawl and they're not kidding. It
is a brawl. After four individuals got

1014
01:26:13.640 --> 01:26:18.199
into a brawl that was so violent
that they literally smashed one of the windows.

1015
01:26:19.039 --> 01:26:24.119
Luckily it was just the inside window
because there's two sets of windows,

1016
01:26:25.199 --> 01:26:29.079
but they busted that and they ended
up having to make an emergency landing.

1017
01:26:30.000 --> 01:26:41.119
And the Red Cross has issued a
plea to gamers about what exactly they do

1018
01:26:41.399 --> 01:26:45.960
inside of their games, which a
lot of people are making reference to the

1019
01:26:45.000 --> 01:26:49.199
current slate of video games, but
arguably this would meet the definition of things

1020
01:26:49.279 --> 01:26:53.840
that has been going on in the
world of gaming for quite some time.

1021
01:26:54.279 --> 01:27:00.399
I don't know that it's going to
be possible and frankly, well, we're

1022
01:27:00.399 --> 01:27:02.960
gonna make fun of it because you
know it's just so dumb, all right,

1023
01:27:03.000 --> 01:27:08.239
phone number eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. So

1024
01:27:08.279 --> 01:27:13.600
there you go. We got playing
Brawls with No Snakes and the Red Cross.

1025
01:27:13.720 --> 01:27:19.319
Who wants gamers to think before they
commit dastardly acts in the inside of

1026
01:27:19.359 --> 01:27:24.319
a video game, you know,
versus when you know you're committing it outside

1027
01:27:24.359 --> 01:27:27.960
of a video game. I didn't
give you some examples there. So eight

1028
01:27:28.000 --> 01:27:30.840
eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. We'll grab your calls.

1029
01:27:30.880 --> 01:27:39.600
These two stories and more coming up. Hang on ten years of news twice

1030
01:27:39.600 --> 01:27:45.119
an hour and smart Talk all day, four five w PTI in the Triad

1031
01:27:45.399 --> 01:27:50.800
and one oh six one FM Talk
in the Triangle. Yeah, you know,

1032
01:27:50.880 --> 01:27:54.680
I was just reminded of acts.
I was thinking about this other thing.

1033
01:27:56.239 --> 01:28:00.159
That's a that's a Minnesota thing if
you like history little bits of more.

1034
01:28:00.880 --> 01:28:05.560
So today is a locust Day in
the state. It's not an official

1035
01:28:05.600 --> 01:28:09.880
holiday or anything, but it's just
one of those quirky things that people still

1036
01:28:09.880 --> 01:28:15.279
remember. So this is like late
eighteen hundreds. So back in Minnesota,

1037
01:28:15.359 --> 01:28:20.760
back in late eighteen hundreds, I
remember what year was they held a statewide

1038
01:28:20.840 --> 01:28:30.319
day of prayer because the state had
been overrun by locusts. Can you imagine

1039
01:28:30.359 --> 01:28:34.600
the organizing a statewide day of prayer. This was done, the government did

1040
01:28:34.600 --> 01:28:39.960
that, and so they prayed because
here we go, I think it had

1041
01:28:40.000 --> 01:28:42.800
been the fourth year or fifth year
in a row the locusts were back.

1042
01:28:42.920 --> 01:28:45.960
So they were just you know,
getting into the spring stuff here spring thaw

1043
01:28:45.479 --> 01:28:48.760
and want to get ahead of it. And already they were seeing signs.

1044
01:28:48.920 --> 01:28:53.640
Add two days later, one of
the worst blizzards in the history of Minnesota.

1045
01:28:55.119 --> 01:29:00.319
But it handled the locusts. They're
not fans of it. So I

1046
01:29:00.319 --> 01:29:04.800
don't know why I just randomly remembered
that. So weird, weird, weird,

1047
01:29:04.840 --> 01:29:11.840
All right, let me get into
this. So the Red Cross with

1048
01:29:11.920 --> 01:29:16.920
a rather interesting request here. So
the International Committee of the Red Cross is

1049
01:29:16.960 --> 01:29:26.159
technically what the organization that sends press
releases and all that is called. They're

1050
01:29:26.199 --> 01:29:32.920
calling on all first person shooter video
games players to agree to abide by the

1051
01:29:33.079 --> 01:29:39.640
rules of war, real life guidelines
governing wars. So we're talking, yes,

1052
01:29:44.239 --> 01:29:48.520
all the stuff that you know from
a treaty and agreement standpoint that we've

1053
01:29:48.520 --> 01:29:56.119
outlined as to be no goes things
you don't do in the course of war.

1054
01:29:58.840 --> 01:30:05.119
They're asking video people play video games
to commit to not committing war crimes

1055
01:30:05.319 --> 01:30:11.399
while they're playing video games. So
I guess what you're gonna need to do

1056
01:30:11.560 --> 01:30:21.079
is you're gonna have to check out
the various agreements. And I basically I

1057
01:30:21.079 --> 01:30:25.119
guess if you could just you know, read the Geneva Convention and then not

1058
01:30:25.199 --> 01:30:30.199
do any of that. Have they
ever played a video game or how does

1059
01:30:30.239 --> 01:30:35.800
that work? Because I don't know
if you know this in video games that's

1060
01:30:35.840 --> 01:30:41.800
just not even just rules of war
Geneva Convention stuff, but whether you know

1061
01:30:41.880 --> 01:30:45.119
it or not, in a lot
of video games you violate a lot of

1062
01:30:45.239 --> 01:30:54.720
laws, and arguably some of the
most important and popular franchises, I don't

1063
01:30:54.760 --> 01:30:57.399
know that that's gonna work. Do
you ever see ross? You ever seen

1064
01:30:57.439 --> 01:31:00.159
the video of like there was a
woman She was a woman police officer who

1065
01:31:00.239 --> 01:31:09.079
she was gonna play grand Theft Auto
without breaking any laws. They they they

1066
01:31:09.079 --> 01:31:11.640
did a stream on it, but
they put together like a little five minute

1067
01:31:11.720 --> 01:31:15.199
video of it. Believe it or
not, it was rather difficult to not

1068
01:31:15.279 --> 01:31:19.880
commit it. But when you get
into actual like war crimes, how many

1069
01:31:19.960 --> 01:31:24.039
video games. Do you think you've
played where you've committed a war crime?

1070
01:31:24.199 --> 01:31:29.319
Because again we're talking about imaginary stuff
here and not just this week. What

1071
01:31:29.399 --> 01:31:30.920
did you stream yesterday? Well,
I mean, yeah, I was gonna

1072
01:31:30.960 --> 01:31:33.800
say they think, god the only
time about first person because they're not.

1073
01:31:33.880 --> 01:31:38.079
I mean, just to be clear, they're not talking about third person video

1074
01:31:38.119 --> 01:31:42.319
games. We're playing like a genetically
enhanced super assassin, right, that would

1075
01:31:42.319 --> 01:31:45.520
just happen to stir all upon a
pack street during Mardi Gras, Right,

1076
01:31:45.079 --> 01:31:48.439
I would assume that they're gonna want
to go for that. Then they said

1077
01:31:49.039 --> 01:31:56.119
it said first person? What about
what about hypothetically third person game? A

1078
01:31:56.199 --> 01:32:00.560
third person where you play a lonesome
cowboy out on a range, you know,

1079
01:32:00.680 --> 01:32:02.720
just cowboy, just you know,
cowboy house and yeah, you know,

1080
01:32:03.439 --> 01:32:08.359
trying to make your way. That's
fine, right, nothing person house.

1081
01:32:08.439 --> 01:32:13.159
Yeah, i'mber I've raised cows.
It's there's no war crimes there is

1082
01:32:13.199 --> 01:32:15.239
that all you're doing just raising cows
and stuff. I mean, yeah,

1083
01:32:15.359 --> 01:32:20.520
some other things happen. You wouldn't
be thrown dynamited groups of people, you

1084
01:32:20.560 --> 01:32:25.840
know, Okay, And I don't
want to get the ASPCA involve You wouldn't

1085
01:32:25.880 --> 01:32:28.079
be like, I don't know,
murdering a bunch of horses or anything?

1086
01:32:28.079 --> 01:32:33.560
Would you? I might have ran
over a buffalo yesterday. I see what

1087
01:32:33.640 --> 01:32:38.399
did you play? Yeah you didn't
f far cry five oh with the turkeys?

1088
01:32:38.439 --> 01:32:43.479
That one just minding own business?
And wait, didn't you kill an

1089
01:32:43.640 --> 01:32:46.840
entire cult? That's the point of
the game. Yeah? Does that count?

1090
01:32:47.399 --> 01:32:50.159
No, it's self defense. I'm
minding my own business. They keep

1091
01:32:50.159 --> 01:32:53.479
coming after me, and it's rude. Dude. If you want to get

1092
01:32:53.520 --> 01:32:56.880
into like definitions of war crimes and
they fit, um, I think I

1093
01:32:57.000 --> 01:32:59.760
might. I think the first one
I committed back in the day might have

1094
01:32:59.760 --> 01:33:03.920
been Sims right, where you get
frustrated with your whole sim and you're like,

1095
01:33:03.920 --> 01:33:08.800
I'm gonna murder this whole city,
right, and you just didn't thing

1096
01:33:08.840 --> 01:33:11.960
of the Sims where you you you
have him drink lets of water and then

1097
01:33:11.960 --> 01:33:15.000
you build a room around him with
no doors and windows and no toilet.

1098
01:33:15.880 --> 01:33:18.640
Well that sounds monstrous. Who would
do that? Certainly not I. Oh

1099
01:33:18.720 --> 01:33:26.319
wow, okay, I did enjoy
the alien attacking my city. Sit back

1100
01:33:26.319 --> 01:33:32.840
and watch that bad Boy. That
was good. Yeah. I don't what

1101
01:33:32.960 --> 01:33:39.039
a stupid press release to put out
I don't have beef with the Red Cross.

1102
01:33:39.199 --> 01:33:41.680
But what are you talk I mean, you're getting the pub that you

1103
01:33:41.720 --> 01:33:43.960
want. So maybe that was you
know, that's the end goal. But

1104
01:33:47.279 --> 01:33:50.279
wait till you what if you were
to all right, you ready for this?

1105
01:33:50.560 --> 01:33:57.039
What if you were too Let's say
you got a virus, all right,

1106
01:33:57.359 --> 01:34:01.520
and you wanted to murder the higher
world with it, except your country

1107
01:34:02.520 --> 01:34:08.159
that would count, right. What
you want to do with that is you

1108
01:34:08.199 --> 01:34:13.119
want to infect everybody before you have
the symptoms pop up. Yeah, so

1109
01:34:13.199 --> 01:34:15.439
make sure everybody's affected, and then
you pop up more and more symptoms,

1110
01:34:16.239 --> 01:34:21.880
and you're gonna need to target Greenland
and New Zealand like right right away because

1111
01:34:23.000 --> 01:34:28.359
once they locked down, it's over. Nah, they're yeah, that's how

1112
01:34:28.399 --> 01:34:32.239
they gets you. Yeah, what
is it? What is that stupidity?

1113
01:34:32.920 --> 01:34:36.439
You know? Half the time,
even if you're trying to play the if

1114
01:34:36.439 --> 01:34:41.000
you're trying to play try to play
the game right or right? It's not

1115
01:34:41.079 --> 01:34:44.680
the wrong word or right is the
wrong word. I mean you're trying to

1116
01:34:45.159 --> 01:34:51.279
play it in a stealthy manner like
some games where um, you know there

1117
01:34:51.720 --> 01:34:56.359
is I'm trying to think of something
like hit Man would be a good example,

1118
01:34:56.439 --> 01:34:59.720
right, you don't want to You
want to kind of fly under the

1119
01:34:59.760 --> 01:35:02.319
raid, get in, get out. But like any game where you have

1120
01:35:02.520 --> 01:35:06.359
that, eventually at some point if
you're playing it, you may be like,

1121
01:35:06.600 --> 01:35:10.319
I'm just gonna I'm gonna go on
a rampage now. I mean,

1122
01:35:10.359 --> 01:35:12.920
even if you plan on playing a
game that way, stuff is gonna happen

1123
01:35:12.920 --> 01:35:17.840
where it doesn't work out and then
you end up murdering everyone. It just

1124
01:35:17.960 --> 01:35:23.880
it happens. Well, you got
those are witnesses, right right, Yeah,

1125
01:35:24.000 --> 01:35:26.119
you can't have witness Back to what
you're saying, though, Grand Theft

1126
01:35:26.119 --> 01:35:29.079
Auto is like when you try playing
that game, like I'm just gonna drive

1127
01:35:29.119 --> 01:35:30.680
in like a bay all the rules, oh my god, so hard.

1128
01:35:31.039 --> 01:35:34.279
That She was funny too. I
can't remember where she was, a police

1129
01:35:34.319 --> 01:35:38.159
officer or whatever, but she was
like she's like, I'm gonna try to

1130
01:35:38.199 --> 01:35:42.720
play and it was funny because they
put her up to it, right,

1131
01:35:43.039 --> 01:35:45.399
and I don't even she must She
didn't look like she really knew what she

1132
01:35:45.479 --> 01:35:49.800
was doing, but like she was
losing her brain trying to figure out how

1133
01:35:49.800 --> 01:35:54.319
to play this legally, and she
would just like randomly run people over and

1134
01:35:54.560 --> 01:35:59.640
oh my gosh, yeah, but
then what happened is you go later in

1135
01:35:59.640 --> 01:36:03.359
the video, She's just like effort, I'm killing everybody. So I don't

1136
01:36:03.359 --> 01:36:06.479
know. I haven't thought about that
video in a while. I may try

1137
01:36:06.520 --> 01:36:11.199
to find it. I couldn't even
remember how i'd even search for it.

1138
01:36:11.479 --> 01:36:15.279
I guess police officer plays grand theft
auto or something, all right, anyway

1139
01:36:15.319 --> 01:36:19.800
eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four Ray Stagick from the Weather

1140
01:36:19.880 --> 01:36:24.279
Channel. He's with us, dude, do you like cats? Are you

1141
01:36:24.279 --> 01:36:29.159
a cat person? Um, I'm
not gonna say I'm not. I used

1142
01:36:29.199 --> 01:36:31.159
to be. Because we don't have
a cat anymore. I'm not opposed.

1143
01:36:31.199 --> 01:36:34.079
I could be a cat person again. I have found I'm not a cat

1144
01:36:34.119 --> 01:36:39.039
person, but I found the cat
i'd be willing to adopt. So down

1145
01:36:39.039 --> 01:36:41.920
in Warrez El Paso area, down
there right on the border, one of

1146
01:36:41.960 --> 01:36:45.680
the prisons down there out of El
Paso. They you know, they went

1147
01:36:45.680 --> 01:36:48.439
through and they did like a big
contraband seizure and you know, they got

1148
01:36:48.560 --> 01:36:54.000
drugs. They found some of the
prisoner made alcohol and stuff, cell phones,

1149
01:36:54.039 --> 01:36:57.680
you know, all the plasma TVs. I'm not sure how to prove

1150
01:36:57.760 --> 01:37:03.880
that in but they also found uh, pets, including a hair an Egyptian

1151
01:37:03.960 --> 01:37:11.479
hairless cat which they had covered in
Mexican gang and tattoos. Now, listen,

1152
01:37:11.880 --> 01:37:15.199
the hairless cats are creepy to begin
with, right, So yeah,

1153
01:37:15.520 --> 01:37:17.600
it's you know, it's covered in
like it's got tear drops or whatever.

1154
01:37:17.640 --> 01:37:20.279
I don't know all the tattoos,
but it's got a bunch of dude.

1155
01:37:20.279 --> 01:37:26.239
Can you imagine the deterrence that would
be if some guys robbing getting ready to

1156
01:37:26.319 --> 01:37:30.000
rob your house and sees that thing
bench pressing out in the yard in front

1157
01:37:30.119 --> 01:37:34.000
or whatever. Nobody enough for me? Man, No, definitely not.

1158
01:37:34.800 --> 01:37:38.960
As I said, those things are
creepy even without tattoos on them. Uh

1159
01:37:39.039 --> 01:37:42.399
huh, Yeah, that's weird.
I'm coming around on that, coming around,

1160
01:37:42.399 --> 01:37:45.720
all right, coming around, Yeah, all right, good, your

1161
01:37:45.840 --> 01:37:48.319
criminal cat bench pressing in your yard? Where we go? Yeah, not

1162
01:37:48.439 --> 01:37:54.319
bad? I mean, little cloud. There's more sun um from about Raleigh,

1163
01:37:54.439 --> 01:37:57.119
Durham, and Fayetteville off to the
east, but there are some clouds

1164
01:37:57.159 --> 01:38:00.560
too, and there's more clouds of
west some with some cloud should probably do

1165
01:38:00.600 --> 01:38:03.159
it upper sixties, low seventies today
and then tonight we'll have a chance of

1166
01:38:03.159 --> 01:38:06.359
showers. Probably after eight or nine
o'clock not going to be a bunch of

1167
01:38:06.439 --> 01:38:10.319
rain, and that's light chance of
showers. We'll stick with us tomorrow with

1168
01:38:10.479 --> 01:38:14.119
partially Sunday sky. Otherwise we'll get
a little milder. We'll get into the

1169
01:38:14.119 --> 01:38:16.520
low to maybe middle seventies. The
rail chance of rain is going to start

1170
01:38:16.520 --> 01:38:21.239
getting ramped up after we go through
about midday Friday. We'll start to see

1171
01:38:21.279 --> 01:38:26.399
some rain and thunderstorms come in into
Friday night and maybe even early Saturday.

1172
01:38:26.600 --> 01:38:30.600
So that's when we've got that potential
for a quarter inch maybe more, maybe

1173
01:38:30.680 --> 01:38:32.680
up to an inch of rain in
some spots. The good news is is

1174
01:38:32.720 --> 01:38:36.000
that Saturday, by mid morning we
should be done and we actually get some

1175
01:38:36.039 --> 01:38:40.880
sun in the afternoon and warm up
to the mid upper seventies. So remember

1176
01:38:40.920 --> 01:38:45.000
that especially second part of Saturday,
it's gonna be dry and it'll be okay

1177
01:38:45.119 --> 01:38:49.199
before showers come back as we get
it Saturday night and Sunday Sunday afternoon especially,

1178
01:38:49.239 --> 01:38:53.479
so there's a window there that it's
not a complete wash out over the

1179
01:38:53.479 --> 01:38:56.600
weekend. Now we'll probably tweak the
forecast a little bit. I'll leave that

1180
01:38:56.720 --> 01:39:00.880
up to let's see who is it
tomorrow, Keno. And then Jeff mar

1181
01:39:00.920 --> 01:39:03.800
on Friday. We'll leave that up
to them. But bottom line is it's

1182
01:39:03.800 --> 01:39:08.680
not going to rate every hour of
the weekend, so hopefully that'll work out.

1183
01:39:09.359 --> 01:39:11.960
I was supposed to make us feel
better. I mean no, no,

1184
01:39:12.239 --> 01:39:15.319
I just put you in the capable
hands of um some of my favorite

1185
01:39:15.319 --> 01:39:18.520
fill ins. Oh sorry, so
you a little fruit fly in here?

1186
01:39:18.600 --> 01:39:21.520
All right, Well, here you
go. I committed murder, all right,

1187
01:39:21.680 --> 01:39:25.079
got them, sir, appreciate it. All right, We'll come back.

1188
01:39:25.159 --> 01:39:39.439
Chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang
on one oh six one FM Talk

1189
01:39:39.760 --> 01:39:44.600
and nine four five w PTI,
two stations driving the best in talk.

1190
01:39:45.119 --> 01:39:50.000
This is Casey O Day and Carolina's
Morning News. Good morning, eight fifty

1191
01:39:50.039 --> 01:39:54.760
three Bloomberg up big now, Jeff
Bellinger, what's happening? Good morning,

1192
01:39:54.840 --> 01:39:59.680
Casey. Stocks pulled back yesterday,
but a couple of big tech companies to

1193
01:39:59.760 --> 01:40:04.039
live at upside surprises after the markets
closed. Had better than expected quarterly results

1194
01:40:04.039 --> 01:40:10.479
from Microsoft and Alphabet and also some
positive economic news. This morning has a

1195
01:40:10.680 --> 01:40:15.399
futures pointing higher now. Futures are
up sixty one points at the moment.

1196
01:40:15.840 --> 01:40:19.840
I was so much stronger than expected
rebound last month and demand for expensive manufactured

1197
01:40:19.880 --> 01:40:25.960
goods. The Commerce Department reports orders
for durable goods increased three point two percent

1198
01:40:26.000 --> 01:40:30.479
in March after a one point two
percent pullback and the prior month. Mortgage

1199
01:40:30.520 --> 01:40:35.079
bankers data point to some stabilization and
underlying housing demand. Applications for new home

1200
01:40:35.119 --> 01:40:41.119
loans increased four point six percent last
week, even though mortgage infest rates ticked

1201
01:40:41.199 --> 01:40:45.520
higher and there was a one point
seven percent increase in refi requests. There

1202
01:40:45.520 --> 01:40:48.439
have been some other recent signs the
housing market is bottoming out. Sales of

1203
01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:55.520
new homes increased last month. This
is all fueling some optimism among optimism among

1204
01:40:55.560 --> 01:40:59.399
economists that a recession could be avoided. There's new data from the Bureau of

1205
01:40:59.520 --> 01:41:04.520
Labors Statistics showing the occupations with the
most workers offer the smallest paychecks. The

1206
01:41:04.520 --> 01:41:10.600
typical American worker earned just under sixty
two thousand dollars last year, but among

1207
01:41:10.640 --> 01:41:14.960
the dozen jobs that employ the most
people, the average pay was just over

1208
01:41:15.119 --> 01:41:19.399
forty seven thousand dollars. And Netflix
A. Casey announced plans to start cracking

1209
01:41:19.399 --> 01:41:24.600
down on password sharing here in the
US later this year, but data from

1210
01:41:24.600 --> 01:41:30.319
market researchers at Cantar suggests it could
backfire and Netflix started policing passwords in Spain

1211
01:41:30.479 --> 01:41:35.640
back in February, and since launching
that effort, Netflix has lost more than

1212
01:41:35.680 --> 01:41:41.479
one million Spanish subscribers. Casey,
all right, Jeff, appreciate it.

1213
01:41:41.520 --> 01:41:43.800
Talk to you tomorrow, sir.
Okay, sounds good. Talk to you.

1214
01:41:43.800 --> 01:41:46.800
Then, all right, there go
Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News joining us.

1215
01:41:46.840 --> 01:41:54.279
A couple of things you gotta share
with you. Oh yeah, real

1216
01:41:54.359 --> 01:41:56.359
quick, just this story. So, I don't know, you see what

1217
01:41:56.399 --> 01:42:00.520
happened in Haiti, So in port
of Prince Haiti Um. You know,

1218
01:42:00.680 --> 01:42:05.720
I don't know if you know.
This little lawless down there, kind kind

1219
01:42:05.760 --> 01:42:13.880
of violent and apparently folks in one
of the neighborhoods there had had enough and,

1220
01:42:14.319 --> 01:42:18.520
according to this AP story, decided
to take the law into their own

1221
01:42:18.600 --> 01:42:24.840
hands, effectively rounding up through a
group of dozens of citizens, they were

1222
01:42:24.880 --> 01:42:30.840
able to get about thirteen gang members
who had been operating in the neighborhood.

1223
01:42:30.840 --> 01:42:38.960
They beat them until they were essentially
near death, and then reportedly through gasoline

1224
01:42:39.039 --> 01:42:44.039
soaked tires on them. How do
they know? In one case, they

1225
01:42:44.079 --> 01:42:48.279
actually pulled them out of a police
car, at which point the police are

1226
01:42:48.319 --> 01:42:53.479
like, you know what, we're
good, and they left and they murdered

1227
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:59.279
these thirteen criminals. They're in their
neighborhood. And this is what you get.

1228
01:42:59.399 --> 01:43:01.800
I mean, this is the double
edged sword of lawlessness. Obviously this

1229
01:43:01.880 --> 01:43:06.479
is a very extreme example, but
eventually, if people think you're not doing

1230
01:43:06.520 --> 01:43:12.520
anything it, you know, the
pendulum swings and people are much more likely

1231
01:43:13.479 --> 01:43:19.600
in maybe not as an extreme example
as this, but to take the law

1232
01:43:19.600 --> 01:43:24.880
into their own hands. The difference
is is when they do, like in

1233
01:43:24.880 --> 01:43:27.880
New York, you see it like
that's when all of a sudden, the

1234
01:43:28.039 --> 01:43:31.720
district attorney and others start to give
a crap. Something tells me down here,

1235
01:43:33.239 --> 01:43:35.880
I don't know, uh, I
don't know how much follow up they're

1236
01:43:35.920 --> 01:43:43.479
going to be doing. And are
you familiar with power slap? Do you

1237
01:43:43.479 --> 01:43:48.520
know what this is? This is
the actual league power Slap that is run

1238
01:43:48.600 --> 01:43:56.920
by the folks with UFC SO and
now I guess UFC and WWE so.

1239
01:43:57.079 --> 01:44:00.199
Power Slap is literally that it's those
weird comp petitions you've seen. I've even

1240
01:44:00.199 --> 01:44:05.000
seen them on TV where people are
slapping each other and it's it's a competition.

1241
01:44:06.680 --> 01:44:12.439
And they got they have like they
got trading cards even except one of

1242
01:44:12.439 --> 01:44:15.960
the big events that was getting ready
to pee be put on six Power Slap

1243
01:44:16.560 --> 01:44:20.479
or a power Slap Excuse me,
what is the actual stupid name of it?

1244
01:44:20.640 --> 01:44:25.920
Well, whatever, it's like their
Royal Rumble and six of their big

1245
01:44:26.119 --> 01:44:30.479
big power Slap champions. I'm not
familiar, I guess with. Everyone's names

1246
01:44:31.560 --> 01:44:39.399
have been suspended after the Nevada Athletic
Commission said that they've tested positive for performance

1247
01:44:39.520 --> 01:44:48.000
enhancing substances as well as banned narcotics. So the slap people are juicing six

1248
01:44:48.039 --> 01:44:54.399
of the quote biggest names in the
industry will find themselves sidelined ahead of the

1249
01:44:55.000 --> 01:45:00.880
big event this weekend. One competitor
included in their drug test hormones, metabolic

1250
01:45:00.960 --> 01:45:13.399
steroids, sulfing like six pain killers, annabolic steroids basically a meth and some

1251
01:45:13.479 --> 01:45:15.039
other stuff. I don't even know
what it is. And that was just

1252
01:45:15.119 --> 01:45:19.159
one of the competitors. I don't
know if there's ever a sport we should

1253
01:45:19.159 --> 01:45:23.279
be able to juice. I'm feeling
like this is it, but that's just
