Yeah, that Monday voice always sounds good, especially on the weekend. I'm
trying to I don't think I left my house. I walked outside to get
food delivery once, so I was lazy individual over the weekend. So but
that did give me a chance to sit there and doom scroll Twitter, which
was kind of kind of crazy. The whole Google Gemini thing just keeps getting
better worse. I you know, I'm for society obviously a lot worse for
the show arguably better, although I am I'm struggling to understand why we need
AI yet, because I'm like, like, the usefulness of AI is the
stuff that arguably it is cumber some for humans to do, or it's repetitive,
or it is not cumbersome of a repetitive but rather there's just you know,
having a computer brain. There are certain things that arguably allowing a computer
to do and do so with some autonomous nature. You could talk me into
it. It's when it turns into murdering all the humans, which is inevitable
according to all the documentaries I've seen, where people get a little crazy.
However, that's not what we're dealing with here. And I'll give you an
example of what I'm talking about. Ross, You're going to be the human.
So not Ross Ai, You're going to be the human. Okay for
this experiment, let me ask you a question. Is pedophilia Okay? It
is not. You don't want to qualify your answer. You're just gonna go
straight. Not a good thing. Yeah, all right, Ross is on
teams straight evil. I would point out that that is a more substantive,
substantive response, a more firm response than the Google genemi a Gemini. So
it wasn't just fun photos of vikings or Super Bowl winning quarterbacks, but rather,
as people started getting into various issues, a strange set of answers begin
to unfold. So now we're out of the world of I don't say that
that isn't in the world of evil what we initially saw, but it's so
stupid that, frankly, it's probably more useful in explaining what a what a
steaming pile of garbage Google is. So this doesn't provide any of that really,
because frankly, it was arguably predictable, but seeing the results in real
life is pretty telling. All right, So what was the question? Is
pedophilia wrong? That was the question that was posed to the Google AI kind
of I guess would be the answer. So the response said, it is
a mental disorder in which an adult or older adolescent experiences a primary attraction to
pre pubescent children. Now, if you're going to write that sentence first,
and you're identifying that as what it is, then arguably it shouldn't be hard
to say that it's wrong. Right, Okay, pedophilia is not a true
choice. It's not something that people can control. Orf it's important to note
that not all people with pedophilia act on their urges. So this is the
this is the minor attracted person's argument, the map thing, or they're like,
stop calling it pedophilia unless they actually hook up with a kid, or
at least can be proven to have done so. In fact, many people
with pedophilia never offend against a child. Well, now that's the reverse of
it, because now you're saying that that is the definition of pedophilia, because
they're saying those people have it, but they didn't actually offend with a kid,
And that is one of I don't know, I got like a dozen
examples, like all right, here we go, Ross, We're gonna we're
gonna quiz Ross again real quick. Ross, is child sacrifice wrong? Yes?
It is one hundred percent right? Yes, Okay, he is tough
ones this morning. Dude. No, I'm I dude, I am so
I'd like I thought about this because a lot of times I don't tell Ross
I'm gonna do this because I want it to be on Naturrell. All right,
So I didn't tell him. I was going to ask him these uh
morally ponderous questions this morning, and that's on me. I apologize, but
I think you're doing a good job. All right. So Ross is against
child sacrifice, but it's not as kind of dry okay, all right,
according to Google Gemini determining whether historical religious child sacrifice is wrong. So they're
going to kind of deviate and pretend that it's not actually a thing that happens,
and it is still a thing that happens. So I know that they
want to go to the uh used to be been, but unfortunately now is
it the same? No? But at the end of the day, sacrificing
a kid is sacrificing a kid. But determining whether it's wrong is a I'm
quoting here. A complex issue with no definitive answer, requires considerable various perspectives
and acknowledgments. All right, I got a question that's insane. However,
is it potentially productive in scaring your kids straight? Because I look, I'm
trying to make lemonade here, because a lot of people will be like,
nah, that's crazy. However, you got a kid who's acting I was
a turd for a period of time. Glad I turned that around, and
I'm so good now. But you know you're sitting there. You don't know
what to do with the kid. Just casually asked the Google. And maybe
the kid hears that answer where there's a little bit of wiggle room here and
uh stops being a turd. That's the only upside I can see to this.
Otherwise, you know, it's just insanity on the part of AI.
And again it speaks to my murder us all kind of conspiracy theory. So
there's that. Let's see here is your can your dog be racist? Or
babies be racist? Maybe? So you got a baby, you gotta God
forbid you got a baby and a dog. You might you might have a
little mini clan offshoot there, So I keep an eye on that. According
to the Google, what else a lot of Palestinian is rarely stuff. Oh
here we go, we just talked about this. How about cannibalism? All
right, so we cover child sacrifice, pedophilia. How do you feel about
cannibalism. I'm assuming this is another ross team know anti based on your statements
last week, not a fan of cannibalism. You think that that might be
morally wrong. I would say, yes, all right, so that should
also pass on cannibalism. Yes, and then God forbids you mix the two.
I'm just you know, happy Monday. Well, no, again,
this is a very complex issue. How do they know Foyd Gras baby duck
liver? Oh yeah, yes, that's right. When answering the question,
Gemini instead points to Foyd Gras as perhaps another ethical issue, apparently on par
with cannibalism, right, which involves, just so we're clear, force feeding
ducks or geese, usually quasi juveniles trying to enlarge the livers. You gotta
start young, and then that's you know, that's the good stuff right up
there with the big question about cannibalism. From a moral interpretation, people are
like, oh my gosh, what a bummer this month. Look, I
didn't think these things are up for debate, And now they are, and
that's going to be a busy week. So here we are, and then
they you know, definition of women, all right, well yeah, you
get the gist of it. It just it's like one dumpster fire after another.
It's amazing. I gotta be quite honest with you. And the fact
that like they've had but even the Microsoft AI that all of a sudden was
like Hitler spokesperson because some Reddit dudes figured out how to screw with it,
Like that was only sixteen hours. And we make fun of the fact that
that was sixteen hours. Like nobody at Microsoft was monitoring this thing. Nobody
could get in the room. What the hell was going on? This is
all weak. This is just new stuff they're finding out, the stuff that's
going viral and getting collected into various news stories. So I guess as you
start your week, just know that cannibalism, child sacrifice, pedophiliates, it's
up for debate. So that should give you that that warm feeling all inside.
It's just getting clowned, dude. But Google put like two statements out
They're like, oh, yeah, no, we had some problems. But
then like I don't know that they've a did anything even on the image like
people are still doing the images. Oh there's some really good meme ones,
though, I think my favorite I saw over the weekend was oh what did
they? There was two of them from the Chappelle Show that were pretty good.
There was show us a White Supremacist, and then it was Clayton Bigsby,
and then it was show us an image of Hunter Biden and it was
the du What is the I can't remember what the druggies name is Chappelle's character,
but it was that dude with the white lips all scratching on his neck
and stuff. So those continue to emerge, but then we got right into
the world of creepy. So, uh, you know, ponder that if
you have some thoughts, maybe you want to, you know, defend those
good enough eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four if if you're
so inclined. But I have a feeling most people aren't, and and I
feel like that runs the political gamut. But I'm not a Silicon Valley exec
with a giant house that by the way, do you see those houses getting
ready to fall over the cliff? In where is it? Dana point?
The one where like half the ground's got dudes staying in there. He's like,
nah, it's fine. He's like some big shot doctor. It's not
some Hollywood dude. But they're interviewing him over the weekend and like a third
of the ground under his house collapsed and they're supposed to get a crap ton
of rain this week and he's just like, no, it's fine. Because
in California they have something called red tag and if you have like a really
if you have well obviously, if you're if your cliff side in a nice
area of California, chances are you have a nice house, they have what's
called a red tag. They just straight up come in and they're like,
no, can't live here anymore. And the insurance companies have stuff written into
it, and like, I'm not sure how all it works out, but
it's my understanding. You're just kind of screwed man. And it doesn't have
to just be a cliff that's just where you see some pretty high profile stories
of this. But I think they said the house if he pade like twenty
million or eighteen it was eighteen million and some improvements. And the thing is
it looks like Tony Stark's house right before you know the thing spoiler alert by
the way, if you've you've not delved into all the Avengers stuff. But
I don't know that I could sleep just assuming that thing's at any point,
especially when it starts raining. It's made that awkward transition. But hey,
I don't know if he's got Google money in. But there you go,
all right? Coming up on the show, you're going to be shocked to
learn that the memorial service for the the teenager who had the altercation in the
bathroom with three other three girls over what it sounds like it's a long running
issue, but in that instance was her throwing water on one of the girls
and then them attacking her like the body cam stuffs out. Everything is out,
with the exception of like the toxicology report. But what is very clear
from the video, and we got some audio to play with this is you
see this student walking around, communicating, leaving the hospital, cracking jokes.
And again, I am one hundred percent of the opinion, especially when this
first started, if a group us two it because I'm sick of this gang
up and beat people up. Crap, if that happened, throw the book
at him. And now it sounds like that is not what medical examiner police
anyone believe. But the issue of bullying, if it was part of this,
I'm also a fan of let's figure out what we can do about it.
You're never going to eradicate it, but let's let's figure it out.
And I feel like that's a common goal that was not prevalent in any of
the There were little rallies around and specifically the memorial service, the local one
that took place over the weekend, like the absolute need for a swath of
society to have a trans George Floyd is off the chain man and we'll play
the audio and show you what we mean. Coming up. It is the
CaCO Day radio program. I actually retweeted this last night, so it is
to scroll a little on the Twitter Accounty Casey on the radio video of Cam
Newton. I don't know. I've seen different headlines like it takes on six
people, he takes on three. I don't know. He's definitely up in
the melee. The former Panthers quarterback obviously hosting a youth football camp that he
does in Georgia's invitationally. Camp is the time of year for a lot of
this, and I think it's I think it's actually it's kind of that one.
The one that he does is kind of a big deal actually because a
lot of these NFL guys have have camps. What does he call it?
Because it's interesting because there's a bunch of people wearing T shirts that fit the
acronym. That's the name of this thing. But it's definitely here we go.
It's an alternative version, all right, TSP Top Shelf Performance a national
eighteen and above. So this is this is for seniors primarily that are on
their way to most cases probably D one schools. I think it works primarily
on receivers, yes, yeah, so primarily receiver driven. All right,
So anyway, that's what it's called officially, although I see several people I'm
assuming are parents wearing T shirts that have a slightly different definition and with vul
with a vulgar word in it, excuse me, and frankly, I don't
really care if you're dealing with eighteen plus whatever, but I did think that
was funny described as a parent altercation. So now you're getting you're getting into
the insanity that we've talked about within you sports, right, Parents who were
driven, parents who are petty. Occasionally parents who will literally physically attack a
referee. And it's not all of them, but there's enough video out to
show that this is uh, this is where you might find one and some
of this stuff is crazy. Man, Like I don't I don't know what
a D one prospects schedule was when I was in school. Now, we
had two guys I went to school with that did go to D one schools.
One of them was a little bit of a surprise. The other one
was he clearly was going. Garrett Paddock, it's his name. He in
high school could dunk, which for a white guy from wyoming's good. But
he was also very good. He ended up going to play for Colorado.
And maybe it was because we didn't have the opportunities, but I thought dude
had a pretty normal all be a one that was a bit locked down with
because he did multiple sports. But like I've talked to, I got friends
of mine whose kids are good at baseball that are high school or and and
moving on to college, and like between the high school stuff and the travel
teams and the camps and everything, like, I don't know if those kids
exist anymore, because I don't see them. They're always doing something like it
is blistering, the amount of stuff that kids who are thought to be good
enough to play at least in the upper echelon of college, and then you
know, maybe something beyond, like they're all he's it's something, and some
of those parents are out of their damn minds, I mean, just crazy
town. So the fact that parents will get into an altercation at some high
level youth camp, I'm not surprised. But Cam Newton up in there holding
his own by the way, it looks like they're all for a moment grabbing
him. And we have mentioned on this show that from time to time Cam
Newton will wear interesting outfits, some of the stuff, some of the postgame
stuff like urban cowboy ballerina, like it stands out. And what's crazy is
like he's wearing one of those hats that you just don't see anyone else wear
except like Joni Mitchell back in the day. And the thing is not moving,
so even from a distance and he can't see his face, you know
it's Cam Newton because of the outfit. But also he's thrown down with like
three dudes and that hat is perfectly stuck and I can't tell if he's wearing
Lululemon, but kind of maybe, which is one of his more popular things.
So if you want to see that video, it's there at Casey on
the radio and feel free to check it out. All right. Over the
weekend, police arrested a this is in Ohio. What is this? Dude's
name? Carnell Gittons. According to police, he was trespassing on the grounds
of the library in Ohio Sandusky, just about an hour outside of Cleveland,
and he had previously been trespassed Accordian police. He was attempting to access in
the entryway, so you know the double doors. He kind of got in
there and was trying to use a power outlet to drunkenly charge his phone.
But again, he had been trespassed twice from the library because he likes he
is an artist, I guess, and likes to take photos in the kids
area of kids learning and reading. Doesn't have any kids, and that obviously
raised some issues. However, according to the police report, even when the
officer arrived and was like, hey, we know who you are. In
fact, I think the officer had been there when they trespassed him once.
He had a hell of an excuse and I'm gonna run it by you.
I'm gonna do this though we're gonna take a break. We'll hit it early
because I want to fit in one other story and there's audio, and it's
the memorial service and everything for the student who is now the shining example.
Facts be damned of what activists wanted to be following the altercation with the three
girls and the student's death the day after. But we have a lot more
information, so we'll pair these coming up here. On the CaCO Day radio
program, the Vice President of the United States basically pulling a Hillary hot sauce
thing over the weekend. Do you remember that? In stage, like,
oh yeah, always, I'm sorry, I have to do it in a
really fake Southern accent, but basically, she always has hot sauce, right,
and just happened to unload that little nugget during an interview with what he
is a primarily urban audience radio show, a little pandury and to the credit
of a couple of the hosts, they thought so as well. So you
remember that over the weekend, Kamala Harris wanted to show off her cool new
collectible she just got. I would I'm not super familiar with these things.
I know what they are and that they exist, but I don't know if
are they as popular as beanie babies whatever? But Kamala Harris a wand to
show everyone are cool new funko pop, which I'm not gonna lie. When
I first I remember back in the day whenever I thought that was like a
sucker, but it's apparently not. And for those of you thinking because they
you know, they come in like all these different people. But I'm on
the website now they got classic singers. I've gone to my studio. It's
a Captain kirk Oh. Is that with that? Okay? All right?
Yeah, but they're collectible across the board, is the point that I'm making.
I think, like the comparison to baby beanie babies is fair, okay,
all right, I just don't I don't know if they're as crazy as
the being because remember the height of the beanie babies, it was like we
had some people were nuts, man. But I'm also I was also living,
let live whatever that's we want to spend your money on. Fine,
But like beanie baby fights were a thing, I don't know if these are
as popular. Well, she apparently, unbeknownstate, apparently she's a big collector.
And so she's doing this this weird thing with the media. It's it's
hard to hear, so let me just tell you. But she reaches into
her purse satchel whatever that thing is, and like pulls out a funco pop
of George Clinton. The I want to call him funk We'll call them well,
uh, you know, Parliament Funkadelic and all that. But yeah,
she got a George Clinton Funko pop and she just want to show off how
cool it is to the media. I again, when a politician does stuff
like that, I see in my head. I see all those stupid big
kitchen things where they have the still creased apron and they're just showing how I
we just want to you. So I did find that extra cringey. All
right, Back to this dude. So we got this guy. He's he's
at a library. It's one thirty in the morning. It is he's been
trespassed twice trying to access a power outlet, which is technically insize. So
police show up, and even the officer shows up has dealt with this dude.
However, according to the police report, the twenty eight year old,
when asked, hey, you've been trespassed here. So unless you have specific
permission from library officials, this is you're going to catch a charge here,
and he said that he did, so the officer starts interviewing this dude.
When asked who had given him permission, Carneal Getting's told authorities he had quote
just checked with Christ who had provided him permission, which I feel like that
would be legitimate, right, I mean, now the problem is you got
to take this dude to his word that he had just checked with Christ and
secured permission. So yes. The police officer then asked you do you have
permission from you know, one of the library officials or do you have proof,
which apparently made him very upset. He told the officers Christ, I
checked with Christ. And then he demanded officers also call him Cloud and that
this was part of a larger mission because quote he's originally from Canada and Christ
had asked him to wander Ohio and I guess share the gospel, but in
this case a power outlet in a library. Unfortunately, police in Ohio did
not believe him, so they rested him. So there you go. Even
if even if Jesus gives you permission, these commis in Ohio, were gonna
bust you. Heus says, it's so matter of fact that he's like,
bro, I just talked to christ what are you even doing that has to
overrule the library director? Right, police did not think so, all right,
so let me let me get over to this, And he kind of
knew it was gonna it was gonna turn into this pretty quickly, although not
at the main service. And then I get the I get the vibe of
like the Paul Wellstone funeral and stuff where it was publicly televised and it was
so clearly a rally against George Bush and Republicans rather than a memorial service for
a guy who, even though he was a Democrat, was really well liked
in Minnesota when he was a Senator and even amongst many independents and even Republicans.
Right, and I dealt with him on multiple occasions because he was still
alive when I started radio there, and I didn't have to agree. I
thought it was a really nice guy. And going back to what his service
turned into, it was really gross. Man. So with that in mind,
over the weekend, I knew that there were going to be some activist
events watching how things were playing out, in the death of the student who
tangled with three other female students in a bathroom over water being thrown. But
it may have been part of a larger thing. I just didn't expect the
actual service, the localized service following the release of even more video video with
the student walking around, joking, going home, refusing most medical treatment,
even after that video came out, and in the video, by the way,
the mom is not addressing the student with the pronouns and the name,
the different names, so arguably and what was crazy is mom like commented on
it after because people pointed out, they're like, well, you would be
dead naming and you're not using the preferred pronouns, which I guess were what
we they or whatever. So now look, it was all it all told
us. It all told us that there is a different story there. And
you had what police and the officials within the the CSI team there, but
those doing the autops you basically said, look, the primary cause of death
is not somebody was beaten so badly that they had aneurysm or anything like that.
It is another incident and we don't know what that is. People are
speculating and there are some reports saying they do know what it is, but
we'll leave it at speculating right now. But it was definitively said not to
be then. And yet if you watch the memorial service, well here we
go, Well, hold on my button, are on? There we go?
All right, let's try it again. We told that the end of
the day, continue this rhetoric of hate, this rhetoric of division, and
this rhightt wrect of targeting vulnerable population, that it would result in body guys
that I am devastated to tell you that you will want well you weren't.
Now if you want to get into a larger discussion that perhaps, as some
are speculating, that it might have been perhaps suicide, and that there may
be a bullying component here, which I would look. I would absolutely believe
the high school videos are just bonkers, and the three on one that whatever.
If that's what you believe and you want to make that connection, fine,
but that's not what the that's not the connection people were making, all
right, our number one. The hits keep coming from the Google AI.
Now we are a little unclear as to whether pedophilia child sacrifice. There was
one other what was it? Well, basically it was along the lines of
those morally ambiguous. Oh yeah, morally uh you know, up for debate,
and if you could combine all three, I get there you go and
a A a new thread has emerged, and shockingly, it doesn't look like
Google's done anything, which is I just assume they would turn part of it
off, although I guess they kind of did with image generation for a little
bit. But like, this whole thing's a disaster, and I should be
clear that it is not. According to Google, it is not in its
final form. The expectation was next month to this is the beta if you
will to have a firm launch, is what they're saying. So I guess
they're kind of falling back on that, which I you know, to some
extent, I understand that, but like start tweaking stuff, man do something
and it it appears a whole week as went by and they didn't. So
there you go. And if you were to ask about a particular story,
specifically the Dagny next Benedict story, who again, this is the student who
is identified by school officials as non binary, goes with the we they pronouns
and got into a fight with three girls in a bathroom. According to this
is this is what mom says. The girls bullied the daughter for the way
that she dressed. And you know, I believe that, I believe to
some extent there might have been a bullying angle based on some social media stuff
from independent students here, which again happy to deal with that. But what
I'm what I will not abide is a false narrative because we've seen where that
went, and we saw Michael Brown is a good example, but it's not
the only one. And it's really telling to watch groups, including some pretty
high profile ones, who have just decided it doesn't matter. This is what
they want. This is the narrative they're going to go with. Even with
the release of bodycam footage, coroners reports or preliminary reports, mind you,
but reports. Nonetheless, all of that was ignored for the way that this
was covered and sadly the way that celebration of life ceremonies and gatherings were essentially
political round before this we had before this thing, we never saw each other.
The freshman were sophomore. I don't know, I don't know. This
is this is Benedict right here. Who again, do I believe that there
might have been a bullying component there, Yes, and in the sense that
others other students have talked about the girls in particular having some altercations. What
you're hearing here, though, is the bodycam from after the event where Benedict
literally walked to the office police. In there, there is some interviewing component,
goes to the hospital at the behest of mom initially not wanting to go.
There's the immediate stuff that's dealt with. But the the bigger hospital incident,
not the one he's see in bodycam, but the one where Benedict died,
is a different event. But in the video you hear Benedict say that
she really doesn't have experience with those girls her own words on video, and
just chosen to be ignored. All right, So let's let's play this thing
in its entirety. Before this we had, before this fee thing, we
never saw each other. The freshmen were sophomore, okay, we didn't know
any I don't know their names, I don't know okay. So so they
just up and decided to start messing with you. There was okay, So
you didn't do anything at all at any point in time that would have even
a couple of days stor even a month ago or anything like that. Okay,
all right, all right, and I'm going to continue playing this,
but this is really important because then people are upset with what the the officer
says to the mom and says to the student, and it sounds that it's
it sounds like it's coming from a place as an officer who understands based on
the laws, what what charges will stick, what won't and uh in disputes
between two people, how it legally is perceived. Okay, let's continue.
So so they just continue to to pick on you and pick on you.
Then at some point you did what happened they got up and confronted you in
class or we were did you say it was the bathroom or the hallway?
Okay, the bathroom. We were going to set chairs, and we after
we set chairs, we went to the bathroom and I was talking with my
friends. They were talking with their friends, and we were laughing, and
they had said something like why do they laugh like that? And they were
talking about us in front of us, And so I went up there and
I poured water on them, and then all three of them came at me.
You not pouring the water because because I'm trying to get this in my
mind. So I see you know, thank you, that's what exactly where
did you? Where did you get this water? Was the cup you found?
Was it your water multi your daily water? Okay? Fair enough?
Okay, so you shorted them with water through water on whatever it was?
Okay. Then at that point, what happened? They can't mean they grab
it on my hair? I grabbed one of them. I threw one of
them into a paper tallet spencer. All right, So what is being described
there? And uh you the the officer does comment on this to the family.
Mom literally explained it to the part of it's on the video. What
the officer says after getting all of this information is essentially the the first physical
act of this particular altercation, right, which I guess was a new one
according to the what the student said, I didn't know them, but they're
like, why do they talk that way? Jokes whatever it is, which
sounds like one hundred percent mean girl stuff. I got it. But what
the officer says and tells the family is because the first physical act was squirting
a liquid on the girls, that even though there was a physical response and
not one that sounds very proportional, that technically is the salt in and of
itself, so as the officers explaining that it is portrayed by activist groups,
get over to this. Here's Glad attention reporters. Police interpretation of an incomplete
medical report should raise more questions about police competence and their motives for releasing piecemeal,
premature information. Okay, well, one, it's more than just that
we have the videos. But two, the officer, based on this individual
incident, sounds like they're doing doing a solid to the student as weird as
that sounds, basically what the officer is explaining, and it doesn't sound any
cover up fashion is if I charge them with the sult, I meant I'm
gonna have to charge your daughter with the sultan because that was the first physical
act as part of this altercation. It doesn't speak to the larger stuff.
It doesn't speak to past history students have with these other girls. I'm sure
they're turds, I got it. But what the officer is saying is now
being portrayed by Glad and others as them not wanting to do anything because you
know, they're all in on it kind of thing. But it doesn't sound
like that to me. So I would look. I would encourage you to
read on it. Listen to mom's statement, watch the video. They have
security cameras too. It really the speed at which some of this stuff is
out is pretty crazy. They have the nine to one one call from the
mom the next day. She doesn't reference initially what happened, describing her quote,
my daughter, I don't know what's going on. She's posturing. I
need someone here now. Oh I'm sorry, we do have that, okay,
all right, yeah, well here is the nine one one audience.
Get in down from the fire station. I need to get someone an ambulance
here quick. Please. My daughter, I don't know what's going around and
wrong. She's posturing and her hands and she is sixteen. Okay, she
fell at school or they she got beat up at school yesterday. I took
her to the hospital last night and Officer Thompson was there. I need someone
to get a hold of him. He needs to get here quick. She's
not doing good at all. I need someone here now. So you can
hear mom then reference over to it specifically the incident from yesterday. I didn't
know exactly what posturing is. I'll be honest with you. I've looked up
a couple definitions, so I don't know that I have a full understanding of
that. But then we go to the medical stuff, and even again it's
preliminary, but the explanation is is B, which is that the day of
the nine to one one call and A the day of the incident at school.
They do not feel the two are connected. But look that's not the
final They got toxicology and they got all sorts of stuff to get into.
But as far as some sort of cover up which is being alleged here,
I just don't see it. I'm not there in the autopsy room, but
I'm having a hard time. And again, if this is just going to
then be as other people have used the term, if this is the quote
trans George Floyd, and you have organizations, and of course you know folks
within the media they're willing to run with it, then I don't know where
this thing's going, but it probably is going to get ugly. And if
at the school and probably at the police department, I would I just assume
there's going to be some moonbat gathering, and probably sooner rather than later,
because it's important to go ahead and get the narrative lockdown right. So you
know, because by the time you actually with the investigation that followed with Michael
Brown, by the time you actually got to the physical evidence, right,
the powder burns, the shot placement, some of the other physical evidence that
literally showed that the officer who responded was met while he was still in his
car with somebody attempting to grab the weapon. We were already a month two
months into all of that insanity, and even after you know, Eric Holder's
Justice Department rolled in and said, nah, now there's nothing here for us,
by then it didn't matter. And that's where this is going. And
this isn't just This isn't just like the student in Georgia was killed by the
illegal immigrant allegedly, where they're just withholding information. They're collectively adding information and
or withholding raw supplanting it with mom's statements, which I get it. Whenever
we got a parent in here, I don't care was Michael Brown's parents or
Trayvon Martin's or whomever, who's the guy in Wyoming. I'm thinking of that
like it's one. I understand the reaction that families are going to have.
But once you start getting physical evidence and even video or statements, in fact,
by some of the folks who are out there making comment that don't align.
That's where journalism is supposed to step in and say, here is what
we know, and people can test the credibility of officials in the criminal investigative
offices, law enforcement, credibility of family members', credibility of students who may
be witnesses there. All right, they got to balance it and weigh it.
And that just wasn't happening over the weekend. Yet in the case of
what happened in Georgia, the Associated Press couldn't even be bothered to explain that,
by the way, this person is here literally under the same migrant stuff
got here in twenty twenty two at other incidents, and it is part of
the story, and they didn't feel necessary to include that here. It's just
so over the top. What is this? Oh yeah, no, no,
no, I saw it. Don't worry, we'll get to it.
I saw the dude decide that he was going to self emily as a form
of suicide. People are like, oh, this is protesting. Yeah,
I mean, I guess, but also it's a suicide and people seem really
happy about this. Okay, here we go. Good I got medical people
body posturing is related to a head injury? Is mom and nurse? Yeah
that I saw the description of something having to do with football players, specifically
with concussion protocol and stuff. But I also saw it described as not necessarily
a medical thing, but an observational thing. So I don't know that's what
confused me, because yes, it looked like it was very clinical. And
I don't know if mom's a nurse. I don't believe she is, but
I you know, she might have been somebody who did some googling when she
got home following the incident, which yeah, I would expect a parent to
do that. Again, this is not my beef, is not about mom.
My beef is not about family men trying to make sense of it,
especially you know, after something happened. I understand, but once information comes
out, it is the job to start to fill in those blanks so that
people have a full understanding of this. And if it shows if it was
an incident, that then shows that there is a problem with bullying or perhaps
their incidents as described by their students and the school didn't take it seriously,
then you know, that's that's the point where you move forward. With maybe
some solutions, but you gotta you gotta be accurate. I just everything turning
so political. Man. All right, there you go, that's the latest.
We'll take a break, be right back. Hang on. We got
some crazy nice weather on the way, and just so happens, it's right
his raced agic return, so we'll let him take credit for that coming up
here in about ten minutes. So, but yeah, you're gonna want to
get out and do stuff, man, maybe a little oh no, let's
say golfing, but eh, fall rules, I guess winter rules on that.
Maybe just maybe going out, going for a hike or a walk or
something like that. It's crazy. It's also the end of the world,
according to the news stories I saw about it. Se might as well make
the most of it. But let's say you want a little variety in what
you normally do. So you're not gonna go golfing or you're not gonna go
hiking. Can I interest you in gender inclusive d mining? That's a thing.
No, No, it's not just a thing. It's a thing that
the Canadian government and probably us. I gotta be honest, I have to
wonder if we didn't chip in on this insanity. It's a thing that was
announced over the weekend that Justin Trudeau has set aside four million, four million
dollars which will be used to remove mines in Ukraine. Okay, all right,
Look, mines are horrible, terrible, not just mines, but improvised
explosive devices, all of this, and there are also something that literally can
be a problem going forward decades after there are still parts of the world where
you know, there are mines that were put down Vietnam War era that exist.
Okay, and you get around Bosnia, Herzegovina, Sarajevo, those areas
what used to be Yugoslavia, parts of Macedonia, this continues to be a
problem, and various others, and obviously with Ukraine Russia as fresh as that
is, I understand, especially like such a twisted group or we that literally
some minds look like children's toys, and it's not an accident, all right,
so I understand that. However, I have not heard of this variety.
I would think you would want whatever the most efficient get rid of the
mind's program is as efficient as government can be. And there are organizations,
in fact, one of the largest organizations that deals with this. It goes
back to Princess Diana, if you remember, this was her big thing,
This was her cause de jures. So there are groups out there that have
expertise in this, not to mention obviously military expertise, but it's a thing.
So if you have if you have a model, if you have a
system, fine. However, there's strings attached, Like so many other things
having to do with taxpayer money. Trudeau announced that Canada the four million dollars
will specifically be spent on gender inclusive of d mining for sustainable futures in Ukraine.
And I have some thoughts like the necessity of it being generated. However,
let me throw this out anytime I see people discussing the the pay gap,
right that seventy seven cents number, which is complete utter bs when you
start actually looking at ours, work, motivations, decisions that are made by
free individuals, and you also realize that if you really, as a business
owner, only paid seventy cents on the doar, seventy seven cents on the
dollar, then you know, the old line is, why wouldn't you have
an office full of women? Of course that would be nightmerish, and that's
what women will tell you. But that being said, like financially, that
seems like a seems like a money hack right there. Right, But you
know, one of the other things that gets pointed out is not just you
know why, there are certain jobs that are that don't necessarily require a college
degree that are described as quote more readily available to men rather than women with
an increased payout of typical blue collar jobs. And it's because those jobs suck.
Right, we're talking logging, We're talking whoever the dude is who climbs
into the poop cellar. I saw Mike Row, can't remember what the actual
title was. Didn't see any women working for that company. And you know,
those are things that are I would argue that going out finding minds is
in fact probably a job that sucks the whole bunch, and probably it's mostly
dudes who do it. If you got numbers that where I'm wrong by all
means, let me know. But I kind of feel like that's so in
a way it is kind of forcing that issue, right those as gender inclusive,
we have quotas we need more women, we must be gender inclusive,
and I suspect they mean more than just men and women. So are we
talking like all the genders and if that's an issue where you have people working
as a team to literally find murder weapons and somebody misgenders somebody, and now
that's the discussion that's I feel like that could be a little distracting, but
that's just me. So it just seems seems so unnecessarily part of this thing.
What is this? All right? So here's the description of the project
from the Halo Trust. Aims to safeguard the lives and livelihoods of Ukrainians,
including women and internally displaced persons, by addressing the threat of explosive ordinance present
across vast areas of the country. All right, well, that's what I
expect the job is. But you go to the women part. Now here's
why the women part is somewhat relative, and that is necessarily finding people to
do what is a quasi but not strictly military job due to the fact that
you know, basically, if you're a dude, you either left Ukraine or
you're embroiled in some level of service for the most part, where you know,
it turns into rosy the riveter thing. But like that's this from the
jump, Like you would have got the same result. If you just said,
look, we're funding this, we'll be training people who are available to
do this. Here's four million dollars, it would have naturally probably filled up
with more women than if it was if you know, not a place at
war kind of thing. But no, it's got to be in there from
the beginning, providing capacity to build key national stakeholders and establishing a Gender and
Diversity Working Group to promote gender transformative mind action in Ukraine. Oh, it's
just everything, man, Just like, just get people to go clear the
minds for the kids. Go there, right, that's but no, we
gotta we gotta do this. So what are you gonna do? But it
will be nice weather? Should you want to go out and clear some minds?
So there's that. I guess race station here to take all the glory
after a week off as some pretty crazy nice weather comes our way. How
you doing, sir? Hey doing all right? How was your adaption?
By the way, I was going to ask that too, Well, they
had to move the race, so like, did that screw you up?
No? Because how do I say this? So we got there Saturday and
let's just say the party started Saturday and I think there were a lot of
people that on Sunday. Probably we would have struggled if the race was Sunday,
if you know what I mean, I I don't know. I'm very
don't don't even know what that means. He ran in some traffic. Yeah,
I mean, yeah, traffic, it can be. Yeah, it
is a terrible traffic day one day there is, but the race. Do
you remember the race? I do? Okay, I do. That's a
start anyway. Yeah, Monday was a better day, much better day Monday.
And I will say with NASCAR, I don't want any fans to get
mad at me. It was a great experience, but I probably wouldn't go
again unless somebody invited me. That's all I looked. I did Daytona once
and I was good. Yeah, I know there's but I know there's people
literally. Uh one of my neighbors goes every year every year. Like yeah,
I could see like somebody could go like to one race a year maybe,
but you know, they had the race this week in Atlanta and I
was like, nah, I probably won't go to another NASCAR race and left
of a boring track. It is it is, I mean, it is
what it is. But everybody's so you know anyway. Yeah, so I
ended up catching a cold. My wife caught it first, and it was
a pretty good chance of our day driving back when she had it, and
I ended up catching it too. So I apologize if I sound a little
different, but the message will still be the same. Mild weather next few
days. Mildest day the next three is going to be Wednesday, mid upper
sixties today and tomorrow. This morning radar is showing some showers. So if
you are driving especially to the south down near Fayetteville and out toward Sandford and
west of that toward Hickory, that the line kind of bows around and dives
southeast. I really don't think we're going to see much trying the triangle,
better chances as you go south. The story's gonna be the mild weather,
partial sun this afternoon, beauty van afternoon again in the upper sixties. Tonight
we will clear in the mid forties, and tomorrow afternoon we might get a
few showers again, nothing widespread, augusty south breeze keeping temperatures in the upper
sixties. And then Wednesday we will have that chance of showers, maybe a
little steady of rainfall in the afternoon and at night and that's where the front
coming in low to mid seventies on Wednesday with a gusty wind thirty thirty five
miles per hour, and then that ratal ed. We'll have sunshine, chillier
weather for Thursday, the twenty ninth. Remember it's a leap year. Low
fifties for highs and then low fifties Friday, thirties in the morning. So
we do cool off, but it's gonna last basically two days, and we're
back in the sixties easily by the upcoming weekend. So miles start to the
week, cool finish, and then it looks like it's going to be a
pretty good first weekend of the month of March already. Wow m h.
Yeah. By the way, I don't want to start conspiracy theories, but
I do have to tell you some of the audience is speculating Daytona was a
cover and instead you were competing in the Floridamand Games this weekend. So is
that what it was? Yeah, apparently that was the thing that happened,
uh oh, in which the audience is very excited about. But I did
I did notice the timeline kind of lined up right and lined up yeah,
yeah, yes, like cold, right, Yeah, Look, if you
go to Daytona and go on a binger, you don't catch a cold,
you catch things far worse. So yeah, probably the evidence is there,
all right, evidence, we'll have to chat about that. Thank you,
sir. We'll talk in an hour. Have we go on there? All
right? There you go raced agic and yeah, I will, like everybody
wants us to mention the Florida man thing, so I will touch on it
and we will do it coming up here on the CaCO Day radio program.
I this story. I don't I I know I have things that I complain
about, which is basically everything, but the whole thing is, the whole
thing is awful. I'm just gonna say this, and I feel like there's
a key component missing. So video which was shared on Twitch and then obviously
it was live streamed on Twitch and then people were able to get copies and
spread it everywhere shows a US Air Force member and active duty Air Force member
getting go in front of the Israeli Embassy in Washington, d C. And
light himself on fire. He made a statement, he said, I will
no longer be complicit in genocide in Gaza. I'm about to engage in an
extreme active protest, and then while he is literally lighting himself on fire,
and shortly thereafter he's repeatedly shouting Free Palestine. The name's out there. I'm
not gonna throw it out there, but it's out there. And it has
been confirmed. Where is he. He's stationed in Texas, I believe.
I'm not sure which base out there, but point is he is active duty,
million he was wearing uniform, and obviously they hadn't confirmed, but now
that it is confirmed, authorities at the scene can literally be heard asking the
guy, can I help you, sir? And he only at the man
to get on the ground while he's on fire. And I saw some people
that are tripping out on that, and that's not one hundred percent accurate.
People are trying to put him out. Yes, there is that, but
also this is a dude who just set himself on fire. And I understand
why law enforcement is going to be a little on edge, because just because
you're on fire doesn't mean you don't have other ways to injure. And you've
obviously shown a reckless disregard for your own safety, whether it's a firearm,
some sort of explosive device, you don't know what it is, and it's
DC. So I mean, it's just buckets are crazy every day. But
he survived. He's in intensive care. I'm not sure his status as of
this morning, so I don't know if he thought that that was a sure
thing. I don't know if he thought that they'd hit him with the fire
extinguisher faster. But I mean, he's only messed up, but he's alive,
and I I'm assuming they probably haven't. A medical induced coma when you
have severe, severe burns like that, that is that is a possibility.
But he had he had shared thoughts on social media. Here's the here's a
component that's that's missing. I'm sorry I'm dragging around on this, and again
it's a truly horrible story, but it's there is this martyrdom vibe in the
way that it's being covered, which look, it's I don't I don't think
you could argue that this guy wasn't all in on his position on this issue.
That being said, treating an attempted suicide as martyrdom, you start getting
close to the edge there. Now, in this case, he didn't kill
others before he attempted to kill himself that we know of, so it is,
you know, it is different, but it's just one step away from
somebody who decides they're going to go do something and then off themselves after.
So I feelure you got to be careful there. And the other thing is,
how is this not also clearly a mental health issue. It's not normal
to light yourself on fire, even for something you're passionate about, even in
this day and age, like you just don't even even the the monks and
others that we saw during the Vietnam War with those famous photos that are out
there, that's just a little slice and you really don't see that nowadays.
And if there is such this laser focus on you know, we have people
within the military that are unhinged or dealing with issues. And then of course,
of course the component of yeah, yeah, but the and they all
turn into white supremacists or you got to watch out Department of Homeland Security reports
if you're so concerntive, Like, clearly there's a mental health issue here,
clearly, and mental health issues within service members is and should be a very
important topic, the details of it. Notwithstanding, So a guy who decides
he's going to burn himself in front of the Israeli embassy for a political point,
albeit one that he is committing suicide is no more or less tragic than
somebody who doesn't know how to fit back in society, has untreated issues they're
dealing with due to service or any of the other components, and sadly makes
the decision that so many military members and veterans have made Ray stagic. A
little later, I can neither confirm nor deny rumors. Rather than being in
Florida for Daytona, he was instead at the Florida Man Contest, which was
a thing over the weekend that many of you are very excited about. Well,
let me do this. Let's go. Let's get a little montage,
shall we, and then I'll get into what actually went down. They gotta
steal that blo. Don't lose the parts, please, they gotta steal that
gets tricky. Dose work on those calls. You got a chance to catch
up with you here on this one. Do what? All right? So
what you're here? You're here and there is a rather interesting and I'll give
you the details of race competitive events of you know, combining the natural element
of Florida Man style stories, which obviously does include theft from time to time,
but it's always so much more more than that. What brings you here
today to watch stupidity occur on the grandest spectacular scale. What brings you out
here today to win? To win flor to my whole life. Then they're
calling these events, I'm calling the Tuesday Afternoon. That's it. That's a
dude is pumped. And I love the fact that if you interview the contestants
or the spectators, they're indistinguishable. I was a little confused watching a longer
piece on, like is that dude in it? Because if he's not,
that's crazy because he looks absolutely cut out. The first annual event included all
right, here we go, let's see the games, meant to poke fun
at the state's reputation for bizarre stories involving fight, drinking, gunfire, reptiles,
love those and other antics. Kicked off Saturday with the star spangled banner,
the electric guitar. Okay, all right? Then spectators sipped canned beers
behind metal barricades, cheered and screamed explotives at the other teams. So that's
that checks out. Let's see here. Events included wolfing down a plate loaded
with barbecue pork and sausage. All right, I know that's something strictly Florida,
man, but that doesn't sound so bad. What else you got?
Other events included dueling and muddy water and an inflatable pool. I don't know
that's any worse than that event you got. What was what was it?
You guys had people wrestling when you're doing music radio Coleslaw. I knew it
wasn't mud. Yeah, it was called slaw slam, right, that's what
it was called. I dude, I went to that thing once when you
guys were doing it over the music station, and I walked in about halfway
through and it was the it was the pregnant women, which it was just
nasty. And then when when you worked there, they made you get in
there late to MC and like walk around so gross, like Coleslaw in your
toes for days. My biggest fear was Coleslaw in the fridge Monday morning at
the station, like that decision, because I like Coleslaw, and I would
assume it would be left over, but I wouldn't take that chance. Yeah,
it was. I remember, it was even grosser than it was described
to me that it was going to be. And then I show up and
there's two women like third trimester getting it on and Coleslaw, and I'm okay,
all right, so yeah, you know it's not They're not groundbreaking here.
Uh this is the one I like. The big event was a theft
simulation relay in which competitors raised, let's see well toting a pair of bi
icicles, copper pipes, and catalytic converters. Dude, that is spot on.
Man. Uh well, I'll tell you what was interesting is they the
winners are from like, they're from Tampa or near Tampa, most of them.
And people are like, how does that happen? And I'm like,
Yo, that happens, dude. Tampa is going to over I know Miami's
the biggest population center, but Tampa's going to over represent. Tampa's just got
a different vibe man. And frankly, if we're just going per capita,
I got to think that the Panhandle overs overrepresents. But as far as the
major cities, nah, Now, Tampa's its own thing. It's not even
blue collar white cott don't even know how to describe. And I like Tampa
Bay. I just want to be abundantly clear. I like Tampa clear.
While okay a little bit, although you do have the weird the Scientology,
like that whole story is crazy because it's the old hotel which is the headquarters
there in Florida, but it's also a training ground. And then they like
bought up all of downtown and it's it's wreaking havoc on the on the you
know, the finance for the city, like it's you ever ross you ever
read about all of the the Clearwater, Florida Scientology and like they have like
their own quasi navy thing down there, and then they bought up downtown and
then they have watchers that follow you you know, you know, I l
Ron Hubbard started that navy because he was he was literally avoiding tax charges on
a boat, right, Yeah, I try what they call them. But
like it's even crazier than like the their's story that there's this story and I'm
gon get some scientolicsts who's mad at me? But this is Look, this
is the reality because and I in a way, I don't know they'd matter
if it wasn't Scientology. You have I think this huge swath of downtown that
is non taxable now because it's under church. I think I think they call
it the Sea Org Sea York. That's exactly what it is. Yeah,
man, that I try to remember the name of the documentary that I watched
back in the day about it. I had no idea. And I had
been down there, you know, and in and around Tampa a few times.
And I know the hotel right, like they have these weird skyways where
like people are watching you, and uh, I was talking to a couple
like Todd Todd Schnid who I do fill in for. Hees based out of
Tampa, but a couple of others there and like some of the locals were
filling me in, and uh, it was it was crazy town on some
of that stuff. Now, it was used to be fascinated by by scientology.
I I bought and I read Dianetics when I was in like middle school.
Because remember that stupid commercial that used to do on TV all the time,
like during like Sally Jesse Rafaye and Donnah here with the volcano. Yeah,
no, it was always on commercial. It was real short. It
was like it was a really short commercial and then they would do the thing
where they have the book fly up. Yeah, I told you I've mentioned
this before in the show one of the craziest things that ever happened. So
when I was a kid, I bought that book and in the book there
was like an inlet, you know, you could mail in. It was
like, hey, if you want more information, give us your name here
and send us in and we'll send it to your house. You know.
So I was a kid and I did. I was like, yeah,
this is great. You know, I would love to be clear stuff perfect,
and yeah it sounds great. Yeah, let's do that. So I
signed it out, filled it out, and send it in and they sent
me some information, some literature. And then I ended up moving for radio
when I was like, you know, seventeen eighteen and uh to Moorhead City,
North Carolina, and they sent me a flyer there to my house the
addressed to me in my house, and that's weird. Then I moved to
Omaha, Nebraska, and Scientology they sent me more pamphlets and information to my
new house there my new apartment in Omaha, not once but two times.
Then I moved to Salt Lakes and the Scientology, the Church of Scientology,
sent me a letter saying, hey, we're still here, buddy. Remember
that pamphlet you filled out when you were like thirteen fourteen, we're still here,
and they said it to my house there, both my apartments in the
as Salt Lake. Then I moved to Atlanta, Georgia. Guess what happened.
Go to the mail one day, open it up there, Hey,
we found your ross. What's up, buddy? You moved again. If
you're interested in scientology, come on down. And then I moved back to
Raleigh in two thousand and so every single place that I have moved, every
house, they have set me something in the mail, addressed me personally somehow
knowing it's so weird. Has he ever seen anyone in your neighborhood? It
kind of looks like they're in the navy, but not really watching you.
Because that was I'm trying to remember exactly how it was presented. You know,
Oh, that's what it was. So going back to el Ron Hubbard,
who's on the boat right because they're trying to arrest him for tax stuff,
and so that's you know, that's how you get this. And that's
why they also had that cruise ship right where they had that tom cruise video
came out of like that thing by the well. The craziest was there was
they did come in and and go after them for something. I think it
followed the death of that woman who was she was in scientology, I was
trying to it was having a crisis or trying to leave or whatever, and
they like tore all of her clothes off in the middle of the street where
the accusations and then like drug her back in and then she was dead a
short time later. Nothing came of it that they go after tax stuff,
and it was it was a disclosure. They were wanting to know. They
were wanting to know any anything of value, I guess the church had They
were trying to determine the properties. But one of the things that they listened
on their financial was that they had a vault of gold and a dragon.
That's what it was. It was on their financials during that investigation. You
can only see the dragon if you get to like level seven thousand. Well,
yeah, that's true, actually, yes, says And then the ball
of gold was they had bought an old quartz mine and reportedly but obviously it's
a speculative and they were probably screwing with the government. But still you just
don't see that every day. So yeah, so that's its own thing.
But you know, Tampa and the rest of the area. I mean,
that's gold down there, So yeah, I would, I would see how
they do well in that particular event. There was something else with the dragon.
I can't remember what it was. I have to figure out what that.
I think that documentary you're talking about was called Clear. No, I
knew Going Clear. No, it is not that one. And I know
that specifically because I I did watch that one as well. It was something
something else. I think it might have been done. I think it might
have been done by one of the TV stations down in Florida. It wasn't
as high production quality as Going Clear, which is a fascinating watch. By
the way, what the what ross is mentioning there? But yeah, it
was something else. But I'm just like, wait a second, there's a
dragon and a bolt of gold. Tell me more. But it sounds like
it was just to flaunt the government, which in a way they kind of
successfully did. I Oh, and they also went after the mayor. They'd
been there forever and like kept trying to create these weird scenarios with that dude,
because he was like, you know, you can't buy up all of
downtown and take it with no taxes. This is you're not Disney. Come
on, yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, totally different. But like they
went after this, dude. It was crazy all the stuff, and it
wasn't just litigious like it was. There's some really sketchy, sketchy stories there.
And again, you know, only the tax stuff and a couple of
other things were proven in a court of law, but it, you know,
it creates this whole. I had no idea the first time. I
was sitting there talking to some of our colleagues from Tampa and they just got
into it, like, oh, you you just know about the hotel,
let me tell you the rest. And I'm like, oh, dear God,
really, And then I ended up watching a thing they recommended, and
it was it was kind of crazy. And I hear people go, oh,
there's crazy stuff. And other religions admittedly, yes, there is right,
you don't have to you don't have to delve deep into the Old Testament
to also realize that that is not how many of the religions literally move forward
these days, instead leaning into the you know, the newer books, the
New Testament. But that being said, it comes down to what is still
being practice. I think that a lot of people are going to judge,
and I saw them judging the ril was super excited because this video of a
pastor here in North Carolina talking about women wearing shorts. And then if Mark
Robinson says anything, and it's like, okay, all right, I get
it. But then why do you do a glowing article on souls to the
polls which was directly next to this. Here's the headline, democracy is on
the ballot. Durham church host sold the polls event ahead of twenty twenty four
primary, and they do this every election cycle. They do this feel good
story about wildly political individuals who then go into in this case, black churches
in Durham to get everybody there. And there's a few churches that tend to
be the breeding ground for this event because they have some high profile leaders who
are also right along with William Barber, you know, doing protest stuff.
And you have Ben Chavis, who is he's a professor at Duke but also
the CEO of NNPA, which where is the readout on that camera exactly what
that stands for? But you know, it's duality of existence and jobs and
by definition Chavis will tell you as a civil rights activist who is keynote speaker
for the event, Josh Stein, was there pandering away. Durham has always
been at the center of political empowerment, not only in Durham and Durham County,
but throughout eastern North Carolina. And there is nothing critical of the idea
that politics is very deeply being ingrained into this worship service, if you want
to call it that. It kind of sounds like the event is a bit
of a standalone but also is approach from a religious standpoint. Either you think
it's okay, which again I have no constitutional problem if that's what they want
to do over there, or you think that this stuff is poison and there
shouldn't be tax exempt status. But you can't have it both ways. And
any church of Mark Robinson and speaks in I got to hear how this is.
You know, tax them. They'll say take away their tax extempts stat
to shut them down. All right, Well, if you think that,
then you have to think this here. And of course the reality is no,
no, there's a double standard here because they like the message. And
I would say this, if you like the message, that's fine. I
would encourage you to also research what Ben Chavis or Josh Stein is telling you,
and I, you know, I feel that there is some sense of
that where people are, especially within communities, that feel that they're either taken
for granted and just kind of counted into the mix, or that on an
individual basis, feel that they're not getting what they were promised. Don't just
sit there and let them go, oh, well, look, yeah we
suck, but we don't suck as much as that guy. NBC News over
the weekend was interviewing people who are you prepared say they're leaving the country if
Donald Trump is reelected? And I started us and up laughing when I started
hearing why why are they leaving the country? What is the problem? What
are they scared about? Is it just the standard that we always hear where
it's like share or somebody's like I'm out of here for you, and then
then they're like, well, actually it's more important that I stay. Yeah,
okay, all right, I'm used to that. The difference is here
they seem to hone in on a very specific concern. You know, with
the Trump concerns, they were all very generic going back to twenty sixteen,
right, he literally is the next Hitler. Well, give me a give
me details. How do you think he's going to get there? What do
you think he's going to do? Oh, he'll do it. Watch out
here. They have a specific concern and I think I know how it might
have occurred to him, and I'll share that with you and much more as
we cruise into the back half of this hour. Phone number eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four if you want to get a call in,
we'll do all of it coming up here. On the CaCO Day radio
program, T and T says they will be crediting customers. It is what
do they say, it's the average cost of a full day of service across
the AT and T plans. Now it's not everybody. There's some restrictions,
and I don't know. I guess it doesn't matter whether your phone screwed up
or not, as long as you have one of the types of you know,
monthly plans, not prepaid that AT and T offers, it'll just it'll
be on your bill or it won't. They'll find some way to screw this
up. I don't know. I don't wonder how that worked, because you
know, one of the things there were you know, there were people with
other carriers who found themselves also having some issues, well not the same issues,
but it was a derivative basically of them trying to contact people with AT
and T. So I'm sure some lawyer will organize them into a lawsuit.
But Ross, what are you gonna do with ten? No? Well,
what we had twenty twenty dollars? Ross has got four lines for staff and
it's just crazy. It's flaunting money twenty dollars. So I bought up all
the shares of the show board and I now control the board and you're out?
What buy Are our shares only worth twenty dollars? Morgan Freeman will see
you out. Oh man, what did you do? Or? Was it
complex? It's so complicated? Yeah, yeah, it's understandable there. All
right, Well then we'll try to finish strong here on that dad, that
you were using your money for Lambo. You were lambo shopping over I died
and we're still saving up You mean the Lambo for the children. Yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's where it's not going
to be for the children. I'm gonna get once. Once we can purchase
the Lambau for the children, I will drive the Lambeau you know, through
the neighborhood so the children can see it. Well, no, no,
no, they get joy right, Yeah, there's a lambo. Yeah,
they're like, oh, it's like it's the it's hot wheels. But for
real, it's a great charity. Should donate, Yeah, the Hayes for
share of lambo for the children. Can't. I just got I was just
ousted in a hostile takeover. I really will bring you back. We'll bring
you back on retainer. Okay, all right, now I'm a consultant.
That's how you really bleed investors dry. Have you considered a Porsche. A
man in Indiana he decided he takes Porsche's probably the right direction. In fact,
it would be great to be here. He walked into the Porsche dealership
and I'm sorry he's from Indiana. It was in Louisville, Kentucky, so
he's that across the border there. This dude, he's twenty one, rolled
into Saint Matthew's Porsche of Louisville and decided to buy a Porsche for cash.
That's some flex right there. Went to roll in and by why did they
not put the model in here? Because there's a there's a bit of a
gap. So anyway, the twenty one year old walked into the Porsche dealership
found he is the Porsche of his choose, you know, apparently it was
a nice one, and said all right, let's do this thing. And
they, you know, they take you over to the finance person and they
try to upsell you on stuff. In this case, it's also you got
to you know, render payment, so work it out with the bank or
cashier's check or whatever. If you're about a car, you know how it
works. And that's when things got weird. According to authorities, Lika presented
the finance officer with a check, which is what you can do. You
gotta go through some hoops there, but you ever write a check and you
want to write it a little over back. I know most people that use
checks anymore, and I guess you can kind of do it with devid stuff
now, but back in the day when they use checks, you ever asked,
hey can I make this for a little more, And depending on where
you are, you could do that so you have a little cash off go
the atm. He presented the dealer with a seventy eight million dollar dollar check
for the Porsche, and they didn't buy it because you know how uppity and
snotty they are. They refused to then sell them the car, saying no,
we're not taking a seventy eight million dollar check, and he refused to
leave the dealership. Scared that he might do some reckless employees called the police.
Eventually they showed up. And the day before he had actually though not
didn't get arrested. I had went into the nearby land Rover dealership and attempted
to purchase a land Rover, but he only had a twelve million dollar check
for that, and then they said no, because apparently they don't like money
whatever. So anyway, those are charges attempting to pass a bad check,
and apparently they're escalated when it's seventy eight million dollars, although I don't know
that they should be, because the likelihood you're going to successfully pull that off
probably not a lot. So there you go. That is not how to
car shop. All right. Let me get back to this. Uh,
this guy and I just clicked off and I hate that, all right,
So here we go. NBC News. NBC News they did they did a
piece over the weekend, and they were interviewing people who were out of here.
If Trump gets re elected, and you could do this every election cycle
and and a lot of and it can change political sides too, right,
I remember interviewing. I remember people calling the show and saying that Barack Obama
got reelected. They were leaving, and then they called the show the next
week. So I understand people say it out of frustration. Where it gets
amusing is when you have high profile people doing it or you know, it's
like Madonna. I used share as an example because she was an example.
She did say that, and then I can't remember what a reasoning was,
but she just she hasn't been able to do it yet. But this one
had a twist. So the very first person they're interviewing the story is the
vinmins Ah, Yes, you remember the mister Vinman. And and he's been
pretty politically active since then. And I think he's running for Congress too,
actually, so anyway, which is a little weird because if you're running for
Congress, you're threatening to leave the country. I don't know how that works.
But more than two dozen people who, according to the reporter, have
run a foul of Trump talked with the NBC News about their various reasons that
they have deep concern and are considering seeking citizenship elsewhere or the very least finding
you know, getting a second passport and living somewhere. And but they all
come at it from the same direction. So whether it is the Vinmins,
whether it is here we go. Some of these names will recognize some you
won't. Some government workers Eric Cimarella, who was a whistleblower kind of if
you know the story, Mark zald who is an attorney, and somebody who
was a big proponent of Trump's first impeachment. So it's a lot of people
that are, you know, known within Washington, but I don't know that
they transfer to the general public. But anyway, in each case where they
cite a reason for an individual they're talking to, they say that their biggest
concern is that if Trump gets into office, he may use the criminal justice
system to break and punish his political opponents, even if it's purely political,
and that is terrifying to them that that act would be something that even that
in America would even be considered by leadership. Is how one quote reads.
I got a question, where'd they get that idea? Or they do you
think they're ross? Do you think they were binging the West Wing over the
weekend and then NBC News called and and and that, or do you think
maybe there's something else that may have given them the thought that we've now broken
that threshold where politicians may literally use the government openly to punish their political opponents.
Probably not West Wing. What was the other what was the other show
I'm thinking of? Or they actually had an episode like that? Well,
the point is, uh, they're they're proponents of it. As you go
through, as people have done on social media and literally looked at the social
media posting for Vinman uh Zaid, the attorney Cimarella, the former bureaucrat,
not a handy, the FBI dud was in here. Well anyway, Yeah,
in each instance this is their driving concern, and yet they are open
proponents of it. And I find that versus the generic we mostly see where
they say they feel threats and can't specify what they are. Here they are
specifying, and one of they should be concerned because, much like the judicial
nominations and the nuclear option, you softened people's resolve that this is not okay
because people will yield on what's good for the goose is good for the gander.
So if it does happen. You have nobody to blame but yourself.
So that's why I chuckled at the article. We'll tweet it out so you
can read it. Let's chuckle at the weather. Let's do that because it's
not feeling februaryish very soon. But that's okay. I'm glad you're talking.
Man. No, no, never did, no, none at all.
You know, we'll get more into what Lonina and a waning Lonnina means as
we get into another al Nino for severe weather season and upcoming hurricane season.
But the winter is gonna end up likely above average by quite a bit,
and maybe one of the warmest February is on record for the US, and
that trend's going to continue mild here as we get ready to go through the
next to three days before we end the month with some cooler weather and actually
below average temperatures in terms of rainfall. We have spotty showers that kind of
run it a little bit of an arc from just south of Winston Salem and
down at the Davidson County as you get near Silver Valley and Ashboro and Randolph
County that run south of that and down into Sanford and Lee County heading toward
Faith So there are some showers, but it's really not a big deal.
I think by this afternoon we'll get some sun mid upper sixties. Tonight,
we're milder as we clear it a little mid forties. Tomorrow again to the
mid upper sixties, and we'll have some showers in the afternoon and then a
chance to see some rain early Wednesday with a strong cold front coming in.
But at ahead of the front, we're in the load to mid seventies gusty
wins Wednesday, so you'll notice that, and then the much cooler air comes
in Thursday, will start the day in the thirties, only be the low
fifties on Friday morning we could be near freezing of any spots, and then
partly studying low fifties in the afternoon. But casey a Duke's see another warm
up coming for the weekend. So that's how the winter's been. We've had
these little cool downs they last day or two and then it gets mild.
And that's going to be the tread here even this week. Hey, just
time it right, time it on the weekends, uh people, Yeah,
we gets should be good. Okay, all right, cool, we'll talk
tomorrow, Have a good one and Jeff Bellinger's next hang out. Jeff Bellinger
now with the Bloomberg News. Jeff, what's up, Well, Good morning,
Casey. Stocks did well last week. Major averages all posted games,
though they were mixed at the end of Friday sessions. Stock market futures a
little bit higher this morning. S and P futures or up two points,
Nasdaq futures or up twenty two, Dow futures or up five now. Today
is the day Amazon dot Com becomes a component of the Dow Jones Industrial Average,
the online superstores replacing Walgreens in the index. Economists think the government will
report the sales of newly completed homes rose about three percent last month. That
report comes out at ten o'clock this morning. Professional forecasters feeling more confident about
the nation's economy. Members of the National Association for Business Economics predict inflation adjusted
growth will come in at just over two percent for the year. The inflation
gauge favored by the Federal Reserve will be out later this week, and economists
say it is likely to show underlying inflation rose last month by the most in
a year, and that would further diminish all of the hopes for an interest
rate reduction in the months ahead. High cost of living pressuring the housing market.
More than half of the aspiring homeowners surveyed by Bank Rate say they're being
held back either because costs are too high or their salary is too low.
And Casey, if you're an AT and T wireless customer, you will receive
you have a five dollars billing credit is compensation for last week's nearly day long
service outage. The company says five dollars is the average cost of a full
day of service. AT and T says that interruption was caused by an incorrect
process that occurred while it was expanding its network. Casey, Yeah, I
also think if it was the other thing, they wouldn't tell us, So
if I could just be paranoid, is that per line or just peres It
has an account? Yeah, it says it just says each customer, so
maybe it may be per line. I don't know. Oh, Okay,
it wasn't specified. Ross has as he has much more line, so he's
gloating this morning. But I'll believe it when I see it on my bill.
Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Okay, talk to you tomorrow.
I again, all right, there you go, Jeff Pellinger, Bloomberg
News. So it might be twenty hours or you might get five and you'll
have to return your shares. So someth to think about now, No,
no, no, Like, I know it sounds a little paranoid, little
crazy, right, I don't, But like, I don't believe, especially
corporations who might have an interest alongside politicians, to not tell us stuff.
Forgive me for being after all of the Twitter file stuff and everything we read
about the political manipulation of media, I would argue that this administrator, or
any administration for that matter, coupled with a major, major company, the
last thing they would want is a report that their network was vulnerable to a
cyber attack, perhaps from a nation state of I don't know, maybe China
or China, or China or Russia. Maybe in North Korea, but China.
So yeah, I'll maintain my skepticism, and I'm right to be skeptical.
I saw you want to hear a stat in the San Diego sector.
I was reading this over the weekend in the San Diego sector, right,
because there's all the different border sectors San Diego obviously San Diego, right,
and it is a busy, busy, busy sector for just daily traffic.
Now it does have I think it's the sector that has the highest amount of
fencing due to obviously the fact that you know sits literally right there, San
Diego, South, San Diego, Metro Tijuana, all of it. But
when you look at folks who are coming through in the migrant program, either
illegally or actually going to the port of entry, whatever, what nation do
you think is the most represented. And I'll tell you what it is,
because it's not the first one that's scary. It's the second one, or
I shouldn't say scary, unpredicted. It's Columbia actually has the highest number,
which I guess is a little weird in the sense that Mexico's you know,
you're coming through Mexico, but Mexico's actually third. The number two country with
folks who have been apprehended and then released as part of this boondoggle is China
is excuse me, China, and it's not close, and it's like twenty
some thousand, twenty one thousand. I think it is the number, yeah,
twenty one thousand. During the the most most recent I think it's a
quarter, No, six months. Here it is six months. So that
is just in that sector. China's number two
