All right, good morning everybody, and welcome it is there we go six
o eight this morning, get the things rolling. What a big decision yesterday,
right, What a big decision you had to make? Do you do
they are you know, the Republican Debate or do you watch the c m
as I mean obviously two powerhouse options there probably today. Uh, your your
very identity in America will be determined by the decision that you made. Uh.
You know this is it feels like what was the all the stupidity around
the Twilight movies where you had to pick a team or something. It was
a team Vampire team Werewolf. As you can tell, I was highly invested
in those movies, kind of like that Ross team Team Debate or Team Country
Music Awards Team Go to Bed. Oh wow, that's another team. I
is it one of them could capture your interest? Huh dude, I don't.
I don't know what was accomplist. It's not the CMA's I mean,
that's just an award show. But from a from a Republican debate standpoint,
I don't know what was accomplished yesterday. There's some one liners out there and
stuff, but and you know, now now high heels is seemingly what the
folks on Twitter want to spend their time talking about. I mean, arguably
it was. I think that there was the opportunity yesterday to get a deeper
understanding on where those candidates stand as it pertains to Ukraine, either financially or
maybe even boots on the Groundsey I think that that's very telling. I don't
know that it I don't know that that my understanding of where the candidate stood
changed any yesterday just from all of the other statements we have out there,
but you know whatever. But yeah, so all right, three teams.
Ross was on team go to Beds, so which you know what I think,
if I think with all the numbers come in, that's probably gonna be
the winning team because you know, you know what a word show numbers are.
And I think now that we're into the third debate here and obviously as
the polling stands, they just haven't been able to attract is as many viewers
as perhaps they did in twenty sixteen when it was kind of must see TV.
But they did throw the jabs. The insults were out. People were
being called scum and accused of well everything under the sun. We'll get in
just a little little what's what on what you missed if you were on Team
Country Music or team go to Bed last night. But yeah, so that
happened yesterday. Plus there's an insane story out of Panama. This is what
I was reading up on this. Well, I was reading up on this
and Brothels this morning, so not for me, but for apparently your elected
officials. And I'm sure we're absolutely absolutely going to get a list of who
all may have been to this thing, if you don't know. Yesterday,
the FBI says that they busted a high end prostitution service. I guess brought
maybe Brothels the wrong wor although they were using an apartment building in one case,
so I don't know. But in Washington, d C. And Massachusetts
for some reason, they're outperating both places. I mean, obviously people in
Massachusetts are degenerate, so say Boston pulls up this morning. But anyway,
this was operating actually two locations in and around d C. And officials are
saying like that they they feel that there could be, you know, triple
digit numbers of pretty high profile people that might have been using it. But
what is kind of interesting is who was running it because they actually they arrested
three people. We we don't have all the deats. However, however,
it it looks like everyone there is a Chinese national or has connections with China,
but uh, you know status here, so I I some are saying
Some are saying that the reason for the for the high end hooker service.
They're in d C, which, according to officials, could ensnare literally in
the hundreds of pretty well known people putting lawmakers, military officials, all sorts
of stuff. Some would say that perhaps the motivation for having that is not
about some you know, somebodies who were sitting around one day going, how
can we disrupt the hooker industry? Right like it's a because Silicon Valley me.
We're disruptors, man, We're gonna do it different. We're gonna we're
gonna put our own twist on this business. Some are saying that, you
know, one of the things you might have to look into is, I
don't know, revenge videos Allah Epstein and and you know, people wanting to
exert influence over powerful people in DC going hey, I got a video of
you with this prostitute, and how about you do something for me now,
I don't know that we have the totality of it. It is an option
out there. It could just be a Cwinki inc there. But that's kind
of terrifying. But what is also terrifying is I strongly suspect that that list
is as quick as probably will as quickly come to fruition as the Epstein list.
So I wouldn't hold my breath. I guess is where I'm going with
that. Maybe they'll maybe they'll bundle them, wouldn't that be nice? You
can you can check them out, so we'll give you the details on that
as well. So crazy Panama. We got the the brothel thing in d
C, which probably should be getting a little more coverage this morning, but
I did see it in a few places, and the say, do I
say the Panama thing? Yeah, dude, that's that's a crazy story.
In fact, if you don't know what happened yesterday in Panama, it involved
eco protesters, an old retired law lawyer slash law professor gringo, and highway
blocking in Panama. And I don't mean Panama Florida. I mean Panama,
the tax shelter capital of the world. Did I did, I? Well,
let me do this we'll take a break and then we'll just start banging
through these We had a bunch of stuff to get to. There's a couple
of things that you need to know, and I don't know if I saw
them in all the stories, but we'll get them shared with you, and
uh, well we'll do it. And U oh, yeah, we got
to talk about the incident in Robison County. You know, it's it's something
you think would play out at big city Durham or Greensboro, Greensboro or Raleigh
or something, not Robison County. But it just shows it shows you how
this mindset has permeated. I'll explain coming up next on the CaCO Day Radio
program, Your Day Smarter one O six one a half Men Talk and News
Talk ninety four five Double UPTI More with Casey starts now. All right,
good morning, welcome back CaCO Day Radio program. Let's dive into uh dive
into this. Man. Oh that's New York Post headline. This is I
always kind of glance at that, A real scum dinger talking about the debate.
I'm gonna get into that here in just a moment. Just talking with
ross Off. There so how many gargoyles did you go with them? We
went with twelve, one for each corner. You have no house. Yeah,
I'm trying to think. Okay, well that must be a where did
you expand the house? Well? Anyway, so well that's good. Those
are word off spirits and or spirit people. Plus you're ready for Halloween next
year. But now did your roof get done? There's a little bit more
work to be done today because the slope, like my roof, is incredibly
steep. Ross is like the like the Notre Dame in the Have you ever
seen that roof? It's pretty yeah? No, so when the actually lives
in an old Gothic cathedral. When the insurance guy came out to check out
the damage to assess it, he was on his way down and I said,
hey, so what do you think he and he goes, I think
this is the most terrifying roof I've ever been on my ow really, and
apparently you know it's coming from a roofed guy. Yeah. So watching these
guys yesterday go up and down my roof with the giant pallets of shingles,
right, yeah, reminded me of the old nineteen sixties Adam West bat Man
when it hit with Batman and Robin would go up the building on the rope
right right. These guys are amazing and they put in so much work yesterday.
But the reason I skipped this MAS and the debate, which I really
wanted to watch, I was super excited and plumped about it, right because
I got home and I was like, maybe I can take a nap.
What not. It did not happen. So, I mean that's like American
Ninja Warrior Challenge level too. So they're busting their ass yesterday. And I
get you. Listen, I paid for the service, well insurance did,
right, I got nothing for free. I just want to say Black Cloud
Services, Chad baits amazing. I love these guys so much, and they
put the Like I said, the people going up and down my roof,
these have to be this has to be the hardest job, like doing this
for a living. You do this every day. You put these palettes in
your back and you go up these roofs and it is terrifying. Oh my
god, props to them. Just unbelievable work, dude, I did.
I did two summers, uh you know, post high school to two during
two summers doing roofing, and God bless people who can do it each day.
No, I can't imagine. This was in Wyoming too, so it's
not like you have. And then we did some stuff in northern Colorado,
but it's not like you have, you know, North Carolina weather right like
you know in the summer, and dudes are out because I mean, try
to find a contractor right now. It's uh or it's still crazy, man,
It's been crazy since COVID. But but to your point on the pitched
roofs, So we did the company I worked for, we did Hypelon roofing
for flat roofs, and then we did some other stuff. And I remember
we were doing a auto dealership and it was mostly flat over the main dealership
and Hypelon is that it's that platt I don't want to describe. It's a
it's an you know, the white plastic and you actually kind of heat weld
it. But part of the dealership because everybody loves, you know, cabins
in Wyoming, so when you went over to their service department, they had
it in the shape of like a mountain, a frame cabin. And that
was the most terrifying day. And all I had to do on that was
some tear off stuff. But you're up there and you're on this pitch slope
and you're literally everything that you're having to stand on, you're loosening because you're
tearing the roof off. I'm just like, yeah, I don't have a
I don't have a fear of heights, mam. But I was. That
was a really tough couple of days there. I just set angle and watching
them like you to put the shingles on and then replace, you know,
certain portions of the roof right, water damage or whatever, and you're just,
oh my god, the effort. They're like booming. No I try.
I got home, I said a quick hello, I went inside the
house and I hid in the bedroom because I'm like, I do not want
to destroy. I don't want anyone falling off. I don't want to be
the reason someone falls off my roof, right, you know what I mean.
I'm like, I'm gonna let you work. I appreciate it. Thank
you. Do you need some gatoray and I'll put some water out. Not
an issue. I'll be inside if you need me, but just do the
job. And they did. It's been fantastic. Okay, good, all
right, I'm glad you plus the gargoyle thing. That's so or later on
the night, I'm like, after I'll hear another banging and stuff. And
Lincoln was okay dealing with it because I was gonna I was gonna ask.
Yeah, we we we bought him some new earbuds. So he's been listening
to his his fifties, sixties uh you know, malt Shot Mayhem songs.
And he was fine. But when when the headphones were off, he was
there was a there was a time there where he started freaking out, like
stop the banging, this is enough of it. But he got through it,
so that's good too. I yeah, I'm with him. Man,
I don't let alone a nap. I would I probably couldn't be at the
house. Well that's going on? Yeah, just because right because it's you
know stuff, you don't realize how loud it's gonna be. Well, I
mean I did not. I was like, man, this is like,
I mean, you're basically you're basically inside of a drum at that point.
Why is it so loud? So I have a snare drum? What's going
on? Man? All right? Well that's that's that's so. Fortunately,
so I missed the debate Oh look, you know, don't worry. They'll
you know, they'll come around again, I says somebody on Twitter saying,
mandyar listener. She's also a listener of the viewer of the Hayes for sharef
of twitch channel. She said the debate was like picking a valid validatorian for
summer school. I mean, somebody's got to be top, you know,
class ranks. Somebody's got to be number one, right. Oh dude,
that's tough. I told you what happened with the with sex said when I
went down to college because in Wyoming they didn't offer what the state of California
required for admissions to the University of California system. So I kid you not.
I am a I am a high school student who has graduated. And
during my freshman year of college, once a week I had to go down
to the nearest high school, which was, you know, just did pretty
close to university, and I had to take the health Human Health Science's California
Curriculum class and I couldn't go to the regular classroom, so they put me
in the bad kids classroom. So it's nothing but gangbangers and pregnant chicks in
there. I felt so smart, and plus I'm like, all these girls
are pregnant, Like I'm pretty sure they you know, they don't need they
they know, right, dangerous minds. Yeah yeah, I'm in there and
we're not writing poetry to you know, make history or anything. The do
rag on your head. There was it was every every every single class at
some point there was some sort of behavioral outburst that paled in comparison to damn
near anything I saw my entire four years in Wyomings High School. It was.
And I'm just sitting there like, oh my gosh, I didn't really
talk to anyone but yeh ah. So yeah, but somebody had to be
number one in that class. I'd like to think it was me. I'd
like to think I don't know, all right, Panama dude. This thing
is uh. And I've seen a couple of versions of two different versions of
this dude's name floating around UH just cause I think one of the publications that
got picked up or ap didn't. People get really confused with people who have
any level of Hispanic name because this guy has like half what you would consider
I guess, you know, a white American name, but also some His
middle name is has some some Latin roots there. So the seventy seven year
old on video accused of murdering two Panamanians. I'll tell you more in a
moment. PTI and the Triad and one six one FM talk in the triangle
to get in. We're gonna get into the debate in Sanity year in just
a moment. I just want to give people, say, opportunity to wake
up a little before you start streaming at each other over candidates. And of
course the candidate from a polling perspective, who obviously on the RN Republican side
not there, although he was close as he did do a rally. But
yep, yeah, yeah, yeah, we'll get into that. So this
story mostly because there is really high quality video of this, Like there's photos
or still frames that I'm pulled from video and then photos that were taken where
you can actually see the cartridges ejecting from the pistol this guy has in like
ten eighty. So anyway, so here is here's what happened. This is
in Panama City or outside of Panama City, and specifically on what is known
as the can American Highway. I guess if you know, if you don't
know anything about the can American Highway. It runs basically from southern Panama to
Canada, right can American get it, okay? And while in the US
it basically is part of existing the existing interstate system, and so there may
be some signage that says can American. You don't really people pick up on
what it is. It's not over here. It runs up the middle of
the country. But when you start getting down obviously through Mexico and Guatemala and
Honduras and Costa Rica and Nicaragua and then into Panama, it is it becomes
a primary conduit for shipping. And there's another version on the other side of
I can't remember the name of it, once you get into South America in
Colombia, and then that goes all the way down to the tip. But
there is a short little area where it doesn't connect because it wouldn't be feasible
to build roads in southern Panama and northern Colombia and so so anyway, but
it is a vital, vital artery for shipping and all sorts of stuff.
Plus and you know, Panama has got its other favorite industry, which is
washing money. So did I tell you that, sad, I tell you
when I was in Panama. So I stayed one night in Panama and I
stayed down towned like the W hotel in the financial district there. So it's
well, if you ever see a thing of Panama City skyscrapers, craze crazy
man and uh and the W was like I had points, but I think
it was like seventy bucks. That's a nice hotel, but whatever. And
I so I'm up on one of the very upper floors and as I look
out my window, I see you see all these you know, these big
high end condo skyscrapers, like just one was right on the other side of
the street, and so I, you know, I see those. I'm
like, oh, that's cool. I think. I took a picture and
posted online too when I was down there. And then I realized something as
I was glancing out the window for a little while. Those those giant condo
buildings, they're finished on the outside. They have dorman and everything. So
I went down the street to walk to get some to eat, like they
have it looks like New York Residency dorman. But if you actually look through
out, you know, look into the windows, nothing's finished in there,
and you realize that so many of those buildings are empty, they're fake real
estate investments, they're money laundering. It's just it's just bonkers, all right.
So with that in mind, the can American Highway is also a favorite
pinch point for protesters who for a variety of reasons. The two big ones
generally in Central America are eco concerns, specifically mining in Panama, there's a
big issue with a mining contract and the World Bank because the countries are suckling
at the teat of the World Bank, and protesters don't like that. But
this was an eco one, and so they did like they do in America
kind of They didn't smash paintings, but they did sit down in the middle
of the can American Highway and they chanted, and they had posters and all
that. And as the traffic has come to a standstill, and there's really
no other options, right, you're either on that road in many cases or
you're not moving just because the countries are so thin, the topography is awful,
and the investments are not even remotely like what we invest in roads up
here, and so you're just there's nothing you can do. There ain't no
going around a seventy seven year old US Panamanian citizens so dual citizenship identified as
retired lawyer Kenneth Darlington. You know, if he's got dual citizenship, likely
you can get that if you make an investment for like retirement purposes. And
so I have to think maybe he was living down there for that. But
former law professor and lawyer on video on high res video, gets out of
his vehicle, walks to the front where the protesters are and just shoots two
of them dead Old West style and then obviously chaos someone ensues, but they
quickly the people around there get ahold of them, and they ended up like
chaining him to a but water pipeer son's coming out of the ground there and
so yeah, but just the fact that it's on video, the photos out
there and you know what was going on. I will tell you this,
he's not gonna go to jail. He's not going to go to jail,
and he's not. But it's not for corruption purposes, like you know,
who knows. With that fun fact. A lot of the countries, a
lot of countries in Latin America, once you hit a certain age, they
won't put you in jail, and Panama is one of them. Panama specifically,
if you commit a crime and you're past a certain age, then you
they put you on house arrest, and it's you know, part they say
it's part compassion, but it's also like they don't need a bunch of elderly
people getting murdered in their violent prisons plus the cost, right, So yeah,
I don't I don't know if he snapped, I don't know what's going
on there, but that story is absolutely bonkers. Man. The deadly shooting
comes after Panamidia and media reported a demonstrator was run over and killed last week
by foreigner attempting to drive past a roadblock. And that's the other that's the
other issue. And I'm sorry. The Pan American Highway actually goes all the
way to Canadas, but he was like, got mad of me. It
does, but it go but there goes to Alaska. But I already said
it went through the US, and Alaska's part of the US, so you
should check your work, sir, Darien gap that's what it was. So
the whole thing would go all the way from the tip of Argentina to Alaska
if only for that little break. But they the protesters have to have actually
been more selective, I guess from what I'm reading here following this incident and
the deal with the foreigner, and it's not the first time that happened.
Is they were there and they thought they thought the roadblock was a robbery thing,
which is a thing which is a big problem along the Cana American Highway,
especially as you head south into South America in Central America, like groups
will wait and then they'll just go out the middle the road block it and
then just robbed and perhaps even do worse. So the fore the other incidents
said they thought he was being robbed. But yeah, so that's that's got
all sorts of wonderful implications there, all right, eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four Let me do this. Yeah, we got to
get into this, this high end wrothels story, not for the salaciousness of
it, but because you know, there's a potential here. According to the
Justice Department that quote, it is investigating numerous people who may have paid for
sex, including politicians, high tech and pharmaceutical executives, doctors, military officials,
government contractors, tons of people with security clearances, scientists, accounts,
you name it. They put all those high profile stuff there and I like
one guy who works at the Circle K. Well, probably not when you're
charging six hundred an hour. The Homeland Apartment of Homeland Security says they believe
there are potentially hundreds of yet to be identified customers, which, again,
if it's a big list of politicians and connected folks, I think it probably
is gets released to the media about the time the Epstein list does. So
I wouldn't hold but breath, but it is who was running it and potential
connections that have people concerned. Plus a review of last night It's very exciting
debate coming up CaCO Day radio programs. We don't know what the project is,
right, they just said it was very generic. So if at the
Raleigh Studios in the building that it's in, it's office tower. Obviously it's
not just us. There's actually the first and second floor both serve as lobbies
and you can enter, you know, depend on what side of the building
you're on. That's yeah, you can walk in one or the other,
which is always confused when we have people come in and they've never been there
and they come up like a client recording or to do a visitor or whatever,
and then it's when they're leaving, you have to be like, do
you remember upper or lower lobby? And then inevitably they don't, and it's
the whole thing. So if you ever do come to the studio, there's
two of them, but specifically so we got noticed that the lower lobby is
closed for construction today. Do we know what they're doing down there? I
don't know, but I'm in trouble because, like they said, it's going
to be closed, right, but when I rolled in at four am,
it was open, so I parked where I normally park. So during the
next commercial break, I'm gonna run down like the wind to move my car,
so I'll get trapped here the entire day because he's actually gonna held down
the building like Superheroes or something. I don't know, no, no,
no, I hear that, but like we don't know the construction, like
maybe they're putting an olive garden in. Have you considered, like can you
imagine, no, can you imagine how little would get done on the show?
It to do live remotes? It just be right. I have to
go down and get some more breadsticks. I'm technically on the premises, so
they got to keep giving them. Well, dude, oh, crap.
I saw this yesterday. I gotta find it. Some some dude did an
article to debunk that the breadsticks are endless? How did I forget to?
Oh? How did I forget to put this in there? Oh? I
will while you're doing your crazy uh, you know, marathon, so you
can go move your car. I'm gonna find I'm gonna find that here at
the top of the hour, I started laughing so hard. But cause everybody,
you gotta take down everybody. And I think that there's some reporters or
people that just sit there and they're like, who who isn't currently portrayed as
a giant piece of garbage that I can write about to make them be portrayed
as a giant piece of garbage, you know, like all the mister best
stuff, which we'll get into. I mean, I'm assuming that's who what
I'm assuming it's some guy who's just upset because other people are happy about breadsticks
and he just can't abide that, you know, I can't. I don't
want to see all these people happy. And look, where's negative individuals here
on the show? But for the most part, if you're not bothering me,
then whatever makes you happy I sat there and eventually they came and told
me how to leave because they were closing, not unlimited. Yeah, dude,
eventually you got to move your fat ass out of the booth. Buddy.
Well, you know what, that's his fault for not timing it,
like you want to be there, you know, standing out front before they
open. But no, to your point, yeah, they gotta close sometimes.
What are you doing? All right, let me get back to this
real quick. And then, like I said, we're gonna we're gonna get
rolling into the next hour with the the debate insanity. I wanted to kind
of park it in the meteor part of the show, and we got lots
of audio to get to, so prepare yourself for that. But it was
the Justice Department yesterday announcing three individuals charged after they busted a brothel operation that
actually included three different locations too, in the Washington, DC area and up
in Massy Chusetts. Or they're all degenerates anyway. So but the people running
the network, Han Lee, uh you uh, Young Young Lee and James
Lee. I don't know if they're all related. Lee is like Smith,
so but uh, you know that has obviously has some folks wondering because you
know, China has a lot of people over here. They have people that
are Chinese citizens, Chinese nationals, they have Americans, and they have you
know, people that are over in a in a some sort of dual capacity
where they have you know, residents here. But anyway, and if you
remember, you see these stories of not just flying spy balloons over us,
but more specifically a report that came out not long ago where China was undertaking
operations to essentially surveill military based security. And it wasn't just a handful of
incidents, it was a lot. Plus testimony that we've heard in Congress about
the number of cyber attacks or attempted intrusions that China does on the daily,
which is it's not five, it's in the it's in the hundreds or thousands
plus. You know, you have compromise, right kt you went where one
of the things a way to gather intelligence is to compromise individuals and put them
in a position where they have to make a choice. Do they want to
be ruined publicly, their families destroyed all of that or can they help out
a little. You got to figure out what motivates people, and by the
way, but we do this garbage too, so we're just better. We
just have more creative waves, like the time that we invented a vampire to
rig a Philippine presidential election. So I mean that's outside the box and that's
thing that happened. But that is the big concern if you have people on
behalf of China who are opening these brothels, high end brothels, and it
sounds like the service and not necessarily the female providers, but the service that
they offered from you know, coordinating all this flying special people in all sorts
of stuff. It really appealed to people that are in these positions of power.
They were strategically set up, including one in Tyson and another in Fairfax,
and were central. We're located adjacent to what is kind of the the
tech hub parts of the d C metro area and the of course the the
military stuff, right Pentagon all that. So yeah, yeah, there's a
lot of questions there. There could be a lot if you have hundreds of
people, like how do you even determine whose compromise who's not that is a
Chinese operationally disclosed it or is it just they happened to be Chinese background entrepreneurs
who just really were specific and who they targeted and where they targeted. I
don't know if we'll know the whole story. And again I wouldn't hold my
breath to see the list, because you know how that works. I'm trying
to remember, do you remember the DC madam. I'm trying to the d
C who was what was her name? That wasn't the one chick's name is
the she was the Hollywood man? How do he flies? Was the Hollywood
madam? Who was the DC madam? I can't remember. Did we get
a bunch of names on that? Wasn't that a Elliott Spitzer? I think
yeah, he was connected with that. But that's a very good point.
Ross. Do we have the names of the other Chinese or Asian folks that
they arrested you yesterday? Or at least looking at do we have those names
that audio cut somewhere? You know the one? You know the one here?
Let me get this off of the off the way here like a little
room there. Yeah, if you could look see if we have that in
the button bar, it's a very good point. Emailer there it is,
yes, good, good, good, Yes, I'm sorry? Who was
what was the names again? Did you in fact here? I got it?
Uh? Yeah, go ahead and go ahead and play that audio clip
just because I'm running out of time here. You have to do it from
Summing Wong we too low Hole and Bang dang Al. I heard those very
same guys were suspected of bringing a plane down a number of years ago.
Had you heard anything about that? Rough I have? Yeah, so I
hopefully get into that they get around. Yeah, the the I did a
thank you somebody an emailer had to remind me, and I forget to do
that. Yeah, Deborah Palfrey, I'm trying to remember if a bunch of
big list emerged or not. I don't seem to remember one. Just a
few select folks putting Spitzer all right, good morning everybody, and happy Thursday.
It is seven o seven as we get things rolling here in our number
two. Yeah, it seems like every day on the show, or at
least once a week. Let's not over exaggerate here, but sometimes you have
weeks where it is every day, but constantly I'm presented and then I of
course present you with yet another story out there about how we've like everything is
screwed. It's done. Cash good game, everybody and just take it's over.
Society is collapsing man every day. Some other story that really just kind
of adds to that, and I slightly stung a tongue in cheek, but
also not so much when you look at when some of these stories are about
the implementation of I don't know, governmental systems that take countries that were profitable
first world ye and pretty wealthy and turn them into the biggest third third world
despot hell hole you can imagine looking at you Venezuela like. So there are
real world consequences. I'll let you decide where this one lands. I had
all of my spirit sapped yesterday when I learned that there is competitive vaping.
Repeat this for you real quick, competitive vaping. And I don't mean like
three do to like the vape standing up going, let's do build the biggest
cloud. No no, no, no, this is organized. It's called
the cloud Chase. I can't imagine something I wanted to I want to go
to less than this, just so we're clear, and they do just all
the language they have for the so people who are professional vapors, which,
by the way, you parents out there, if your kid came to you
and you're like, hey, now you're you're in uh you know, you're
almost graduating in high school. If you figured out maybe what you want to
do for a living, right, what would you rather they come at you
with. I want to be a I want to be a TikTok influencer.
I want to be a only fans model, or I want to be a
competitive vapor Like if you had to pick one of those three and you have
no other choices, I feel like I feel like maybe the vaping one's gonna
lose in a lot of instances. I don't know. But that's what they
do. And they're known as evangelists, and it's called the Cloud Chase,
which is a series of contests literally all over the world, and they are
sponsored, and they have divisions and brackets and you know, sets of rules.
I'm sure to how do you juice when you're talking about vape juice?
So, I guess juicing is encourage and a series of different ways in which
people compete it, said Talia Eisenberg, who's one of the big sponsors an
owner of the Vaporium series of stores. I guess one of the big sponsors.
Quote, it's just like the X games, just like what skateboarding was
twenty years ago. No, it's not. No, it's right. Nobody's
pulling a hammy. I obviously there's like, so you're telling me that some
guys who figured out how to do a triple backflip off of off of a
jump on his snowboard is is on par from athleticism standpoint with a guy who
can do vape smoke tricks? Are you talking about Ross? I may have
to send you to cover this man. You like sports? Right? Is
there? It does Buffalo have a vape team? Oh? Oh? Ross
is looking at a computer like it hates them. So that's not good.
All right, So that's a that's a that's the thing going on. I
had no idea. So if you need something to destroy your outlook on humanity,
that's it. Now, by the way, somebody's gonna write me,
what does it matter to you that they're doing this? Hey, they don't
want to put it in a story. I'm not saying that they shouldn't.
I'm just saying I'm not attending. But uh, they went pro so what
are you gonna do? But yeah, please don't compare it to Sean White
or Tony Hawk, Right, I'm sorry, just yeah, we're not there.
Yeah. Also, I guess for some folks, depending on who they're
rooting for, last night's Republican debate may have sapped your soul. Yeah.
Look, you had a lot of a lot of back and forth, a
lot of fighting. The whole scene is weird because obviously, the from a
polling perspective, the top current, top polled candidate is Trump and it's not
even close in most instances. Although if you looked at those Joe Biden numbers
that came out this week, and you know they do mock comparisons to not
just Trump, but to DeSantis and Haley and Christie and Vivick and that,
you know, those are not good numbers, and those were that's not some
Republican think take. So you know, it's it's still gonna get people to
tune in. And the in fighting was everything that you thought it was gonna
be. That's the choice we face. Do you want a leader from a
different generation is going to put this country first? Or do you want Dick
Cheney in three inch heels? All right, case, we've got two of
them. And now they walked over the punchline. So this punchline was hey,
do you want Dick Cheney and three inch heels because we have two of
them on the stage tonight, which obviously was you know, Nicky Haley,
and then more Ron DeSantis for Ron DeSantis stilt jokes, so yeah, that's
where we are. And then Haley she wrote some weird response on Twitter,
what does this say some about Yeah? Here we go? Yeah? So
and then on Twitter the Nicky Haley's war room or whatever is the actual account
after that went out there posted here we go quote. Yes, I'd first
like to say they're five inch heels and I don't wear them unless you can
run in them. The second thing I would say is I wear heels and
they're not for a fashion statement, they're for ammune. What am I missing?
What does that mean? When you say ammunition you mean like figuratively or
like in the five inch heels? Do you have like a one to eighty
rain thirty six round jammed up in the tip? So you only got two
shots? I guess, but I don't know. I don't I don't know
what that means. So you had that. But also it wasn't limited to
just people on the stage last night getting getting roasted. I think a lot
of people are really pointing to Ramaswami's going after Let's see, he went after
ronal McDaniel. He went after the one of the moderators, and people are
losing their minds over that, like, how could you go after one of
the moderators. Well, you know there's the part where one of the moderators
is was wholly complicit in all of the disinformation, Russia, insanity and various
other stories that permeated all of not just not just on Trump, but you
know, really anything that hurts Republicans, which is why I don't have I
don't know why you have those people doing debate moderation. I'll never get it,
not in a primary debate especially, So that's getting a lot of pub
this morning. Let's speak the truth. I mean, since ronal McDaniel took
over as chairwoman of the R and C in twenty seventeen, we have lost
twenty eighteen, twenty twenty, twenty twenty two, no red wave that never
came. We got trounced last night in twenty twenty three. And I think
that we have to have accountability in our party for that matter. On if
you want to come on stage tonight you want to look the GOP voters in
the eye and tell them you resign. I will turn over my yield my
time to you, and frankly, look the people they are cheering for losing
in the Republican Party. Think about who's moderating this debate. This should be
Tucker Carlson, Joe Rogan and Elon Musk. We'd have ten times the viewership
asking questions that GOP primary voters actually care about and bringing more people into our
party, getting the Democrats and we've got Christian Welker here. Do you think
that Democrats would actually hire Greg gut Fell to toast a Democratic debate? They
wouldn't do it. And so the fact of the matters. I mean,
Chris, I'm gonna use this time because it's actually about you in the media
and the corrupt media establishment. Ask you the Trump Russia collusion hoax that you
pushed on this network for years. Was that real or was that Hillary Clinton
made up disinformation? Answer the question, go, this is how we get
at And I'll tell you what was interesting too. As I saw I saw
people reacting who obviously are not are They're not selecting from the Republican candidates and
they're like, you know, this is the bridge too far in the debate,
and you know, the reality is the debates largely and it's not just
on Trump and really his his style. It's been this way for a while.
I don't, I don't. I don't really understand the usefulness in a
lot of instances. Maybe more at a state level and local level, I
guess, but once you get up to that national level and uh, you
know, you got the millions of eyeballs or whatever it is. People uh,
people want to put on a show, and sometimes it's well received,
and sometimes there's the you know, the the one liners used to be good
and there would have space, right what is Let me try to think of
an example what I think one of the best examples of of a one line
zinger that worked, and I think even people across the political spectrum found a
little bit of humor in It was Reagan when he was running against UH Minnesota,
Uh Minnesota guy, Why what is with my brain? And he said,
uh, he said, I will not make they were the question was
too Reagan about his age. I don't, I don't have it right in
front of me. But but basically he said that he wasn't going to make
the the youth and inexperience of his opponent an issue in the race. Flipped
the whole question, man, And that was a good and even as opponent
left Mondale Walter Mont even he laughed. Man. But now it's like every
time the mic opens, you got to have these practice one liners. And
if you're not good at it, you're not good at it. They just
they come off really really awkward. But that's what we're going for. And
the media has injected themselves into it, famously cam A Candice Crowley doing live
fact checks but getting it wrong. You know, everything we saw with that
first Trump Biden debate, Oh my gosh, and you know multiple other examples
like what was CNN was what given question? Maybe they remember they gave questions
to Hillary. So with all those inherent problems, I don't know why you
put yourself in that situation. Let them go toe to toe, let them,
let them do the debate and uh and if they want to go back
and forth, like Haley and Ramswami got real nasty because Ramswami was talking about
Haley's daughter being on TikTok and Haley didn't like that because as you're bringing my
daughter into this. I don't know if that was sossily a wise way to
go about it with Ramswami. I mean, he could have been very generic
and said, look, some people on the stage have well, in fact,
let me just play this for you. We've talked about this. You
campaign on TikTok. How do you get TikTok ban if you use it?
Well? I want to laugh at why Nikki Haley didn't answer your question which
was about looking at families in the eye, and the last debate you made
fun of me for actually joining TikTok while her own daughter was actually using the
app for a long time, So you might want to take care of your
family first. How I felt that the next generation of Americans are using it,
and that's actually the point. You have her supporters wrapping her up.
That's fine, here's the truth, you're The easy answer is actually to say
that we're just going to ban one app. We got to go further,
all right, Okay, And by the way, so this is there's a
lot to unpack there, So could you have been more generic about it?
Yeah, he is kind of reflecting on Haley not really given an answer,
But you know, once he leaned into the daughter daughter part of it.
Now she's got the high ground in the eyes of a lot of people,
especially probably female voters, who are when you pull there generally, when when
one's children are brought into it, do you do polling on it? With
examples with the Bushes, Chelsea Clinton back in the day, and even the
Obama girls, you get a much more negative reaction from women, female voters.
It's not even close. Yeah, that's that mama bear thing. So
from a strategic standpoint, I don't understand that. But but then Haley flubbed
the Will Smith line it's keep my daughter's name out your damn mouth or out
your damn mouth, Like she didn't even get the quote right, So and
in my brain, I'm like, all right, I'll call it a draw.
Well that's like, that's basically that's what she missed. So we got
a feel. We got some other cuts I'll get to before the end of
the show, but it was just, you know, it was just five
on there. You know, they like Pence, obviously he's out, he
suspended his campaign, and various others didn't qualify. So it is whittling down
and I think a lot of people expected that even though you know Trump's not
attending, that likely you would have had a whittled down or this would whittle
it down to maybe two others, so that you really it's like a three
person primary race, and you know who that might be. I don't know.
I think the predictions I saw from folks yesterday was probably Haley DeSantis and
then Trump and then they let the three of them go at it. But
maybe maybe not. I didn't see Chris Christine and any of the h any
of the maybies. Oh though, did you see the hashtag that they tagged
on Chris Christie. I don't know who came up with the nickname, but
I laughed so hard. So I saw this as I was I was looking
at obviously, you know, hashtag gop debate on Twitter x whatever, and
and then I saw another associated hashtag, so I clicked it. I saw
a much so Chris Christie is hashtag white Lizzo. I'd have no idea where
that came from, but yeah, that's awful. Then I guess the question
is, does does Chris Christy then make his assistance do horrible things with strippers
and food? Or probably not, because he probably went to waste is that
way he's playing that flute from j Madison James Madison's I saw they clip him,
Like, why is he playing that flute? That's a good point.
Yeah, white hashtag white Lizzo. Dude, you're not crawling out from under
that man. Ah did? I laughed. I laughed a lot when I
saw that. I'm like, oh, thank god, it's not me.
Because you know, nicknames are important, like you know, the stupid Harry
Potter nickname with the Vikings guy, although, by the way, that's no
more. And now Josh Dobbs, who literally is like kind of a rocket
scientist, a really smart dude who actually worked at NASA before he began his
jerty the NFL career. Uh he NASA gave him an official new nickname so
we can get away with the stupid uh Harry Potter reference. And now he's
pastronauts. See what they did there? Wait, so he's at So he's
a pastor, but he's a football player. He passed a football player.
I don't understand it pastor. I think people can understand the Dobby thing because
of his name and the Harry Potter fandom. You can't figure out how the
word passed. So he's a man of God, so like a pastor.
Not so he's not a pastor. I think. Listen, I just say
you know what, I just know. I'm not shaving my eyebrows. So
well, why you don't even you don't support the team? I support pastor?
Not sure, absolutely none of that dobby stuff. All right, we
gotta take a break. Hangy on, Thank you. Case is on w
p t I and the Triad and one six one f M talk. All
right, good morning, thirty five Pcoday radio program. And I got a
little debate audio there. That's fun. We'll get some calls here in just
a moment. We got some folks hanging on. Want a comment on that.
Of course, of course they wrote it. I'm sorry, I was
just scanning the op eds of our local media. All right, he is
an Observer opinion piece. Three North Carolina Democrats helped Republicans censure Rashida to leave.
They shouldn't have, so I'm sorry. So the position of the editorial
author over at the News and Observer, I probably don't know. There's problem.
Maybe this ran in the Charlotte one too, I don't know. Sometimes
they cross around this stuff. Your position is that they shouldn't have censured her.
And again, this is not a removal thing, because we'll try to
complete that comport that with what's going on with suggestions for that New York rep.
The crazy dude who like made up his own origin story. But censer
and removal are two different things. She was censured, and she was censured
because in the opinions of I would argue most people because when you pulled with
I've seen some pulling on this phrase. And also what people believe the goal
of Hamas to be. The majority of people believe it is the eradication of
the Israeli state and perhaps even all the Israelis, and in Hamas's case,
they just straight up say it. So if Talib's laying that down, and
not only is I forget the part where we're allies, but just the part
where she's calling for the eradication of a of an entire people and country there
and we're not talking like that time Trump said that there shouldn't be MS thirteen
guys, and you all lost your mind. So your position is that that's
okay, dude, that is awful. And then of course what it led
to is the insanity you saw with like all the rest of the squad getting
up and losing their damn minds Corey Bush here and the lack of understanding and
a lack of seeing the humanity of folks who look like Rashida talib all right,
and then, by the way, then they issue her time runs out,
she doesn't shut out. They end up having shut her money couturageous that
my colleagues are blatantly, blatantly attempting to silence the only Palestinian American representative right
here. It's outrageous, But it's not surprising. And let me tell you
it's not surprising because the place is where seventeen hundred members of Congress, this
elected body, enslaved black people. It's not surprising because I can't. I
can't. How did you rush? How did you not throw yourself out of
a window dubbing that in? I can't? Can you? Can you work
some of your magic? Please? And I need you, I need you
to trim that down to just the the you know, just the just want
me to get to like the basics. I just want the I just want
the you know, the breath to me. I can't sit through a minute
and a half of her done. Wow, okay, oh look at that
all right? Yeah, just just what is her? What is your damn
point? If you just sum it up for me, black people, the
insurrection price is okay? All right? Well nothing new? So well that
was good man, No bleeps, and you got it all tied in there
by the way, get her at oxygen brevity and all that. Probably just
got done with the vaping competition shout of breath. Man. Hey, you
know what though, you know, sometimes if you want to say something,
use as few words as possible, make it easy to understand, and there
you go. So but I'm not sitting through a minute and a half of
that, ain't no way in hell. All right, to the phone,
here we go, Sammy, good morning. What's up? Hey, good
morning? Now are you guys doing today? Uh? Well, we just
had to listen to that, so, you know, yeah, I want
to say that. But when you're talking the Veke his name is the Vike
like rhymes with cake. That's an easy way to put thember how to say
his first name him? But well no, no, here and but let
me say this and and then I'll you can talk about the rest. How
long have you listened to the show? How long have you been jamming out
to us in the morning. Oh, my gost a couple of years,
because you know that we have a long and storied history about giving zero f's
on what somebody's pronunciation is, just because we're childish, and it's still why
we call the Boston bomber did jack off dajirnoff, which I believe ross that
is the correct pronunciation. Oh in that case, right now, that is
correct. Yes, that is correct. Okay, So don't I would say,
don't read in, don't read into anything. It's just a sheer,
childish stupidity that we do things. So anyway, Well, what did you
want to say? I actually, I don't think he did wrong with bringing
Nicky Haley's daughter into it because she's twenty five years old. She's an adult,
so it's not like he was attacking an eleven year old. I understand
that. And but there's for a couple of things. It well, there's
the strategic side of it, right, it's the unforced air side of it.
You know, it doesn't pull well and simultaneously, literally this week,
the one of the narratives that the RNC is hoping that it gets into the
media is the what's going on with Trump's kids, specifically Ivanka Trump or Ivanna
Trump being Avanka Trump excuse me being drug into court yesterday to testify about things
that were they weren't in her wheelhouse in her capacity, and just wanting to
go for the throat with her. Now she's obviously an adult. But people,
I think saw that if maybe maybe not the boys, but a lot
of people saw that as unnecessary. Now I just like, just go general.
It's very easy to go general, I think because TikTok's on a problem.
I agree. So so you like it if you had to pick today,
that's your guy right there. Yes, he's smart, he's intelligent,
he's he's young, he's quick witted. He is slicker than account of role,
that's for sure. Well is I've heard that a lot of people say
that they think he's a little too slick. That's the criticism, and that's
the polite way. But you know, everybody your horse in the race,
so right, I know my horse is probably going to come in last.
But that's okay. Well no, Chris Christie is still there, so oh
yes, that's the Clydesdale of hashtag white Lizzo. All right, thank you
for the call there, Sammy. Yeah, we don't. We don't do
a lot of phonetic pronunciation guys around these parts. So, I mean they
still call her Kamala. It is kamala. It's a kamala. I mean,
I know, I feel bad that they said it correctly. Yeah,
wow, geez, I resigned. You know what this is. We're gonna
have a meeting when hr Oh, listen, the wrestler came first. You
can't take the Hall of Fame wrestler's name and be like this pronounced this way.
No, it is this. We discussed this. That's how it works.
Those are the rules. We don't make him. I would kind of
do Donna, what's up, good morning, Casey, how you doing.
I'm not going to ask how you doing? He had just had to listen
to Corey uh Bush. So Ross did a masterful job of saving He is
so talented. Yeah, as far as Vivek goes, I want to know
if he's on drugs or is he just a fast talking salesman. I mean,
he's beyond and Ross agrees he's beyond. Slimy. I don't trust him,
not one bit. He's too slick, too slick. Well, I
mean, what if you took his speed of speaking and then took Tim Scott's
speed of speaking, which is really slow, and averaged it out. I
think you'd be right on the money there. So perhaps maybe he needs some
of the juice to give some of his juice to Joe Biden, because he
certainly needs it. And I think that Vec is really a rhino. I
think I think he's a wolf in sheep's clothing. I don't trust him,
and I don't think that the Republican Party should take him too seriously. Well,
here's here's what I would say. I think the most important thing to
thanks for the call there Donna to extract from yesterday or just in general,
even though we have a weird situation in the RNC primary with you know,
Trump not being there in the pulling, I think, really, to me,
to me, there's the economic side, but I think the thing that
we really need to nail down on all these candidates is money or boots on
the ground. Who do you support, who do you don't? Who don't
you support? And you know what is the probability of entangling us in something?
I think that that is because look, is it fair to say that
Nikki Haley Is has some so opinions that would I guess cast us into much
more involvement in some of these fronts versus pick any of the other candidates.
I don't know if anyone, Yeah, but some people may agree with her,
And I think that that's really what's important to lock down when you're watching
this stuff. So not just the jabs, one liners and the infighting.
All right, seven forty five, ray Stagic was doing so well, doing
so well, and today he's gonna snatch and after today's gonna snatch it all
away from you. That's how he rolled. That's right, just like just
enough rope. Right, I'll give you enough and I yank it back.
Don't get too used to the eighty degree warmth that we'll have for as you
kind of hit it at their case. One more day and that day is
today. Yeah, so we'll get close to records again and we'll have lots
of sunshine. It's going to keep the fire danger high, not gonna help
any of the fires across actually not only our state, especially West, but
also parts of Georgia and South Carolina and starting to see a little bit more
in the way of fire action unfortunately, but sunshine and near eighty and then
the change will start coming into night as clouds thickened, upper fifties to maybe
some sixty degree temperatures Friday cloudy. Notice, we may start the day near
sixty and we won't go much higher, only in the low sixties. There
might be a little rain or some light rain showers Friday into Friday night as
we drop into the forties. Veterans Day, cloudy, mid fifties could be
a little rain with weak low pressure going south of us on Sunday. Highs
in a little bit fifties, So pretty decent fifteen almost twenty degree temperature drop
coming. I do want to say something, Casey. I know elsewhere there
have been high school football games already moved to tonight for the rain tomorrow night.
I kind of like why. I mean, there's not gonna be a
bunch of rain. I don't think any thunder and lightning. I could be
wrong, but you know, back in the day, we played in rain,
sleet, snow, and there we go chances some rain. Yeah,
walked up hill both ways, you know the drill. And I'm kind of
like, dude, I played I've played high school football in Wyoming I'm gonna
I'm gonna tell you what, man. We You know, it may not
get as cold in Wyoming because of the elevation, but the amount of snow
that can get put down in a very short order when you're talking about mountain
snow is a lot like lake effects snow. And we had a we had
a couple of games where literally people who are not in at the moment,
we were having shovels. So if you were if you were a substitute player,
you had a shovel and then we were running across to you know,
make it so you could see the hat, you know, the hash mark.
So we didn't used to get much. And in high school before Thanksgiving
so before we played. But I remember at least one time we had to
clear the field off the day before. I remember we did it with floor
hockey sticks. Can you imagine how long that took. The whole team went
out in the field clean the field. It was crazy. But wow,
I don't know rain tomorrow night. If anything, it won't impact play.
I don't think. Well, you guys, that's my ou You're gonna have
to clean the field on Sunday because you're gonna murder the Giants, so bodies
are if you don't, if you don't no offense, I'm gonna laugh so
hard because of the Arizona thing. You should I will do. You think
there's a chance though, you get I don't even know who's starting for the
Giants quarterback will be. I guess Taylor Swift actually so yeah it could be.
But yeah, you know, get one of those flute games like the
Titans quarterback the new guy in that he ends up like dominating, have his
best career game. That's probably what's gonna happen. So I don't have any
money on the count, and I'm in terrorI zone, like the Josh Dobbs
is what we saw last week? Or is it gonna be right Josh Dobbs
right? Uh? They try to give him. The nickname they were using
was Dobby, but I and many fans rejected it because we're not having Harry
Potter brought into NFL. But he's like some super smart dude and like NASA
gave him a new moniker because he used to work at NASA and it's a
past or not so uh you know, just that right there, so we'll
see the past, right Yeah, Hey, better than Harry Potter reference.
So have a going appreciate it. There you go. Rased agic by the
way, So after that came out, did you I saw idiots on social
media who are on team we never went to the Moon. It's all fake
who were like me, who were like posting in the dabbs stuff and at
him on on his couple of his accounts, demanding that if he uses his
platform and the and his knowledge of NASA to reveal the truth, leave him
alone. Leave what what do you what do you think he's gonna do?
I mean, he's gonna call time out and walk to the middle of the
field, get that mic from the rest head, go, I got something
to tell you. Just stop everybody's nuts man. All right, seven nine
kc O Day radio program back in just a few This is one O six
one FM Talk in the Triangle and news talk, well you PTI and the
Triad. All right, seven fifty four pc ODA radio program. Let's let's
do one more caller on on the debate stuff. And then we got we
got just a crap ton of stuff to get to and we even got more
debate audio for the next hour. So if you're not Joe Anne, go
right ahead, Good morning, How are you. I'm good, I'm good.
I'm I got all works up talking to Ross. And I want to
try and sound intelligent with this, but I don't watch the news or TV
anymore. I haven't in literally almost nine years now. I get all my
news from independent sporces and I've researched them, right, but I do know
the VIC Go ahead, I'm sorry, no, I said, good,
good, Okay, pick what it is you think it is TV, but
do your research too. That exactly, yes, exactly. The veck Ramma
sly is life steep and sores money. It's very easy to find out that
he's been involved in in the past. But really upsets me about my fellow
North Carolinians and I've lived here for sixty six years now, is how easily
there misled. And I couldn't get over that woman saying she was there is
no hope for vivek Ramis life. There's really no hope for any of them
as far as I can see. And Trump has got to be the nominee
if you really want to fix things, if you just want to play games
and nitpick and talk about oh he said this, and he said that,
which ninety nine percent of the time it was a liar, he was misquoted.
Then you cannot complain about what's happening. You can't complain about all this
stuff that's going on in our country. Well, let me and I'm sorry,
I don't mean to cut you off that I'm creeping up to her.
Let me let me say this too. Sometimes Trump does say really dumb stuff
or tweeted out. But but here here's the point that I would make.
A lot of people don't even get into that debate. They just say,
look at the results, and you know, we didn't get in another war.
You know, economically, things were banging out until we hit the COVID
and it put the fear of God in some of the you know, the
swamp creatures. And that'll be good enough for him. But the elephant in
the room is even though it is kangaroo court to the max, which you're
seeing in New York and everything else set to come, and these lawsuits try
to get them off the ballot, the fact remains that people also have to
be able to identify a point where you think that it's beyond his ability to
get elected. And so whenever I see somebody's like, yeah, I'm all
in on Trump. I'm like cool, got it? But is there is
there a moment when, from a strategic standpoint, you'd be willing to flip
to somebody? And I think that that that is a discussion that people like
they need to have it in their head what that is. And maybe there
is no mo right let them let them run from prison. But yeah,
it's crazy absolutely. All right. Well, hey, I appreciate you being
out there and uh calling in this morning. Okay, Joan, have a
great day, all right, you too. Look at that. So now
I'm gonna get angry emails from people, but you know, I just try
to try to be practical here, right, you know, what is that?
What is that point? And you know, maybe it's when they started
the trial and people said we're out, or maybe there there is no point,
but uh, it's it's something that at least needs to cross your across
your brain. All right. Uh oh, I don't have time to be
able to get that in. I will say this though, just so I've
been I heard a little Birdie told me, and I don't know, we'll
see that there are rumors about that some of the moonbats who like the block
roads, uh to protest on behalf of Palestine. You might be planning to
do it again today and not in Durham but in the Raleigh. So that
is all that I know. Obviously they're tracking stuff through social media and hips
and all that. But that'll be interesting if that transpires, see how the
city of Raleigh decides to handle it versus the city of Durham. But I
don't know if I hold out hope. All right, good morning, happy
Thursday, and it is the CaCO Day Radio program. Last day of the
really really kind of warmish, warmish weather. Some of you're digging on that,
so yeah, I'll take the day off. Whatever, play hooky,
go post up at you know, an outdoor patio somewhere. We're full of
good advice. But you know, keep your keep your phone with you and
then you can listen to us on the iHeartRadio app. Tell management, I
did a plug for them. Okay, Now there's so much new. There's
so much stuff going on. Obviously we're talking about the debate there and the
the situation that is really the art, you know, the Republican primary here
in North Carolina. I'm used to reading stories where individuals are getting these sweetheart
deals or not being actually held following commissions of crimes and the prosecutors who allowed
this to happen, like in Chapel Hill, where you have the the guy
who went and was brandishing a gun at a gas station and a week later,
following that arrest is somehow able to go to the UNC campus and do
the same thing. It's frustrating, But the story that should really draw your
eyre was not one of the big cities, but Robison County where you have
multiple deputies who were going and they're serving and arrest weren't for a murder suspect,
but not just a murder suspect, and the dude gets out, gets
into the woods and starts shooting at officers, wounding multiple officers, and in
retrospect, people are looking at that story going why is this guy out and
they think it's just the murder charge, but no, no, no,
this guy was out awaiting trial for murder and then got arrested for committing a
felonious robby and it was still out and you don't think of that in one
of our more rural counties. So you know, there's there's there's so much
going on. Oh look Okay, all right, so let's do this.
Let's sell so one of our one of our candidates out full disclosure. I
did this when Mark called in. And for those of you out there thinking
that, so they we're just out here and and we're it's our goal to
sit here in schedule interviews with every single political candidate, every single office.
There ain't enough time, man. However, as I've told now several people,
you know, folks who call into the show and make a dip in
there and and I want to talk about stuff. If they're on point,
we'll do that. And there's a couple questions that I think I really am
glad that we can specifically ask our state treasurer but also gubernatorial candidate Dale Folwell,
who's calling in. So good morning to you, Dale. How are
you doing? I'm doing great. And just for the record, you can
pronounce it Dale or day all with two syllables. Whatever Ross wants to do,
well, don't put Ross in charge with it. You'll get crazy,
probably some Harry Potter reference you don't want. But this is actually I want
to I want to hitch you, I want to talk to you, and
I want to kind of ask you a couple of questions, but more from
a candidate's perspective, because because this is kind of a situation that you're having
to deal with too, and that is a primary uh, Like you know,
the difference, of course, obviously over on the on the presidential side
is uh, you know, Trump was president for a while also, But
from a polling perspective, it's not a small lead that he has in most
of these polls. Those are the very that's kind of a situation that you've
had to deal with and others who are running the governor's race against Mark Robinson.
So I just want to put that out as to how if you're a
candidate is looking to make up that ground, which we've seen it happen before
obviously, how do you go about doing that? I mean, how do
you make a ground on somebody who is arguably much more in the news for
things he says than probably you are. How do you how do you make
that happen? Well, it's a great question. I think the poll reflects
one candidate who's actually doing the job that the voters gave him to do,
versus another candidate, Mark Robinson, who just searched his responsibilities. Doesn't show
up for his official duties and traveling around with highway patrol escort campaigning all day.
But the fact is is that at the end of the day, there
is a lot that has been done at the Treasurer's office over the last seven
years. I'm the first Republican treasurer since President Grant. But the governorship is
actually the CEO of the biggest business in the state. And your listeners know
there's a lot more to be fixed at dot DMV, the crime Lab since
you brought up crime earlier, DHHS and all the other important agencies. But
you know, at the end of the day, I know who I am,
I know who I love, and ultimately, after this life, I
know who I belong to and that's where my faith is. And these polls
are going to close when people realize that one candidate Lieutenant governor, in his
own words, said that women talk too much, women should not be in
a position of leadership and rhetorically asked on Facebook, if you beat the bird
dog hell out of your wife at the mall, is that still considered domestic
violence. I don't think the voters in North Carolina are going to choose someone
who does not show up for work does not come to the job interview through
these debates, who says these kinds of things, well, and and let
me devil's advocate, because I think that those are the very same criticisms,
not just you running against him, but you know the media, you know,
deep diving social media. But I also recognize that a lot of people
are willing to overlook that because he's he'll he's go, he'll pit bull people
that they don't like, which is a very powerful thing in the world of
politics. Obviously, you recognize it's not always the most logical, but if
you know, if they are, they are willing to go and be the
public face of going after your enemy or what you think the ills are.
I think that's where voters will overlook some of that stuff. So that's something
that you have to overcome because you know, those are not the kinds of
stories being written about you, but it's a share to some voters. Yeah,
the stories that are being written about me are stories of competence. Governing
magazine said last week that there are three of the Americans that Washington, d
c. Should look to to figure out how to fix their problems. Three
Americans, the governor of South Dakota, the governor of Tennessee, and I
was honored to be one of those three. But at the end of the
day, I think not just last night's debate, but the Tuesday election reflect
that people want more humanity, They want more humility, they want more courage,
they want less rage. They want somebody to attack problems and not attack
people, and they want someone who can actually govern, show up for work
and explain conservatism without offending people. That's what people want, and I think
that's what will be decided next March in the Republican primary for governor. Well,
handicapp it for me because yesterday there were a lot of There are a
lot of races that I think obviously didn't go the way that the GOP thought
they were going to go. And while the Kentucky governor's race, there was
that cult to personality, bombastic back and forth wasn't going on in Pennsylvania with
Supreme Court people, they were largely not out there doing that. However,
the GOP handily lost that race, and it was done almost primarily through mail
in bouance. So like, are you concerned when you see stuff like that?
For further down the road, what do you think went wrong. Well,
I think that what went wrong is that is that there's a lack of
appreciation that your listeners and people in Kentucky and across the country are exhausted and
they're in fear of many different things, and they want someone to vote for.
I'm not a political statistician, but I don't think the Republican who ran
for governor in Kentucky would have gotten any less votes if he had not campaigned
at all. If you look at actually what the vote margin was, the
last Republican who ran for governor in Kentucky only lost by I think six thousand
votes, not hundreds of thousands of votes. But I think it really reflects
that people want someone to vote for. And in terms of the national politics
and the debate that went on last night, you all of your listeners are
familiar with the term state of the Union when you look at the federal governments
and ethnics and their inability to bounce a budget or live within their means.
For the rest of my life is going to be states of the Union,
because we are going to have to look to the states in terms of how
to protect our country and keep our upward mobility and our status in the world
going forward, and that's why I'm running for governor to be one of those
states of the Union. Do you think do you think as a governor versus
a treasurer, like could I kind of feel like in the ability to actually
be a to have the most control over the state's finances. Is it the
treasurer's office or is it the governor who you know, frankly may propose the
budget, but it really isn't his job. I guess which office do you
think has more influence? Well? Former Treasurer Harland Bulls, considered the best
state treasure of the twentieth century in the United States of North Carolina, said
that the state treasure North Carolina, this book, has more constitution constitutional and
statutory responsibilities and duties and any other elected official in the state except for the
governor when the governor has control of the militia treasure. Bulls was correct.
But the fact is is that the governor of North Carolina is the CEO of
the state who buys more light bulbs, more paper tiles, employees more people,
and has the responsibility not just by the Constitution of North Carolina, not
just for originating the budget, but actually operationalize the budget as ratified by a
general Assembly. And operationalizing the budget means creating a culture in state government that
honors the hard work the state employees do, their cive creativity and commitment and
loyalty. But secondly, it has has to do with watching the pennies and
the paper clips and creating a culture which we've done at the Treasure's Office of
conservatism, courtesy and common sense that would apply to DMV, DHHS DOT,
the Crime Lab, the Elections Board. That is the actual constitutional responsibility of
the governor of North Carolina. And that's what makes me uniquely qualified in terms
of ballot strength. In the last two presidential elections, I received more votes
than anyone who's ever run for president of the United States on the North Carolina
ballot. But we're not thinking about the general election. We're totally focused on
giving people someone to vote for in the Republican primary in March. Well,
but and here's the thing, and you know this as well as I do.
If it's not on fire, it becomes a backstory. Like when things
are going well. Right, when things are going well and it's not pep,
it's not immediately impacting people's life because either it's you know, there's a
lot of inside baseball stuff there. There's a lot of complexity to it,
and you put up a story saying, hey, here's what the treasure is
off is. You know, pick one of the press release, here's what
we just did with some pharmaceutical companies, or here's a press release from somebody
else. And it's because all the DA's are out of control and they're letting
murders run around and shoot police. I know which one people are clicking on
and you know that too, So I mean things are going too well,
you're not getting the pub man. Well, this goes back to the crime
lab. The crime lab has directed the shares of this state in the past
not to send in samples unless they have a suspect. Now that's not well.
I mean the reason you send in samples, it's the possibility of maybe
finding or matching up with they suspect. The crime lab is a disaster.
A lot of these systems that you just mentioned. The criminal justice system is
broke and broken, and we need someone who can create a culture of conservatism,
common sense, and courtesy and get to the bottom of this because the
fear that I talked about earlier. The exhaustion that people are facing out there
that I talked about earlier, it's a result of elected officials not doing their
job, because at the end of the day, is the state treasurer of
North Carolina. When we have someone who passes away or retires, they don't
care what political party I'm a member of. They want to know that I'm
in the check delivery business and I can fix their problem. And that's what
people expect out of the governorship. And at the end of the day,
with all the differentiators that's going on in the election for governor of North Carolina
next year, we know that all of us have friends, we have family,
we have loved ones, but we also know how we feel about our
automobiles. There's only one question that people in North Carolina have to ask themselves.
If they were going to hand their car keys, their precious car keys
to someone for four years and come back and expect it to be washed and
in equal or possibly better shape than when they left it four years ago,
who are they going to hand those keys to. I believe they're going to
hand those keys to someone who has a track record of attacking problems, not
attacking people governing conservatively and saving lives, saving minds, and saving money,
and that's my reputation. Well, I will I will say this. I
think that when you look at the slate of individuals running for governors, there
are there are very distinctive differences that I think the voters are going to notice.
So, you know, and if that's if that's what people want,
they're going to be able to tell. I think between the different the priorities
of the different candidates. I guess that's what I will say. But how
can you actually, uh, how can you get that out when the leading
candidate refuses to show up for work, shirks his responsibilities by the Constitution of
North Carolina, and then won't even show up for a job interview, for
a debate to answer the tough questions. I think it's I don't know.
I don't know that I've talked to anybody as it pertains to the primary race,
Dale that doesn't see that you and Mark have very different ways of doing
business. I mean that's so, I mean, I don't I don't think
that's it. You'd have to be just you just have to come out of
a coma. Did not notice that so the question will be which of those
approaches do people respond to? And you know we'll see. So well,
it's there's a lot going on. And you know you mentioned about about the
pharmaceutical companies you need to go but I know you think got about it.
I got about a minute. So if you want to just real quick on
that, well, you know, I mean, we're dealing with a weight
loss drug that has the potential of bankrupting to Stay health plan. One weight
loss drug is cost US nearly one hundred and seventy million dollars next year.
And this particular weight loss drug has the potential of actually being manufactured in North
Carolina. And you say people aren't on fire about this. They are on
fire about inflation. They are on fire about their fear when they go to
the Harris Teeter parking lot. They are on fire about not being able or
be afraid to consume health care because of what will happen to them. As
far as the billing, people are on fire about those things. And when
somebody's trying to charge the state employees those that teach, protect and serve six
times more than they charge people in their home country, I'm opposed to that.
And I'm going to protect and defend those that teach, protect and serve
as the state treasure of North Carolina when it comes to gouging us on drug
prices. Now, when I say that they're not on fire for it,
I think there are a lot of people that do get into the weeds on
that. But it's about putting that story and we're in a I don't want
to say frenzied manner because that's just the insanity that is our news cycle now.
But in a way that's easy to understand, and if people are successful,
such as yourself, doing that, then I think it can be impactful.
But I got look, I got a Rolldale, I got my heartbreak
coming up. But I appreciate you calling in this morning. Okay, Well,
thank you for having me to have a blast day. Yeah you too.
So I mean that's yeah. I don't know if I to the point
I made with yeah, I don't know that anyone sees the Dale fall away,
Dale fallwell the same as they see Mark Robinson in the Cult of Personality
and how they how bombastic or out out there, you know, the different
issues that are that are really the closest to them. So I don't I
don't know that there's a fear of that. I think it's very easy to
see differences and that'll be up to the voters. But all right, cool,
cool, there we go. It is eight twenty four. Are gonna
take a break lots time. I'm gonna try to jam so much stuff into
the latter part of this hour so you don't want to miss a Moment's some
great audio you got to listen to. It's all coming up. Hang on,
all right, good morning, and welcome back. It is eight thirty
six pc DA Radio program. All right, Ross is sending me some went
I had not I did not see this headline, so super excited. Oh
dear God, that is as bad as you thought, as you kind of
hinted. All right, so this is this is a This is an opinion
piece. And I did share the other opinion piece earlier that they had where
they're like, nah, they shouldn't. They shouldn't have centured to leave for
calling for the destruction of a country in people's So this is this is another
opinion piece. Don't count Joe Biden out for his age. Look at Scorsese
and Dylan to see what eighty can do. You know, not everybody's eighty
looks the same. I. Uh, there's a gentleman I know. And
a few years ago he turned eighty and uh and we had a little the
golf group guy and I was bad. I like, if I had to
be constantly reminded the guy's eighty because he he is, He doesn't, he
doesn't come across as eighty. Okay, However, I've seen some fifty year
olds that I'm like, are you eighty? Right? So, yes,
I'm glad that Martin Scorsese's in good health, Bob Dylan, I mean,
health wise, he's okay. I don't know if the mumblings got worse worse,
but that was kind of his hallmark. But yeah, not every eighties
the same. They were aware of this, right, so uh yeah,
Well least they're at least they're probably trying to keep it fair and balanced over
there on the old editorial pages. I saw this yesterday. This is a
hoot, man. So I've seen this done a couple of times in other
situations. But it becomes a lot easy year the more obscure the languages that
you're that you're using. And here's what I mean by that. Uh,
protesters pro Palestinian protesters. This was in Portugal and were you know, they
were having a march. I got the flags and the signs and the chants,
and in the video, this dude rolls up in there and he starts
leading the chant. And the chant is the chance in? Is it in?
It's it's in Farsi or I can't remember which of the Middle Eastern languages.
But it's not in Portuguese, and it's not in English, and it's
not in Spanish. Uh, you know what you're gonna be likely likely languages
where you you know, where people are gonna be able to pick up on
what it might be, because it's pretty clear in this video the protesters had
no idea what they were chanting. How do I know, Well, give
I'll give it a listen. Let's give it a listen, and then I'll
tell you what it means. Palestine in Benzona? Baa steal in Benzona?
Who us stealing in Benzona? All right? And you could kind of hear
a paper off and I think that what happened is somebody did know what it
meant, but not before they got a few chants in there, and uh
it basically basically he got him chanting Palestinian sons of whores, so would be
the I guess the most basic translation there. And the point was, obviously
he's in there screwing with them, and they were chanting away, you know
what. I remember. I was just thinking, I remember now, I
remember an example of this. There was a there was a protest at one
one of the colleges or something, I can't remember where it was, and
it was right as Trump was coming in, so obviously, you know,
there was lots of protests, and somebody got the crowd chanting back. This
was in Spanish, and so it was easy obviously the likelihood that you had
somebody there who spoke Spanish and knew that they were getting screwed with. Uh,
it dawned on them a little faster, but for a while these the
guy got him chanting something like, uh, lost Criminali's save on a casa.
Yeah, lost criminalis save on aicasa, which means criminals go home basically.
And and so they're they're at the they're chatting away right like Donald Trump's
the Devil opened the borders. And yet they also apparently didn't take any Spanish
in high school or college. So yeah, this one, this one obviously,
uh, probably rot with a little more danger considering that they're now beating
uh counter protesters to gath death like you know in La the other day.
So but also kind of amusing. And there's another video if you do want
to go see that. That's on Twitter. There's another video. I didn't
pull any audio from it, but it's a bunch of like animal rights protesters,
and over in the UK they have like the protesters just walk onto people's
property. It's crazy, man, and uh and they just go in there
and just do whatever they want to start blocking stuff, and the police are
hesitant to do anything. I wouldn't suggest you trying that in many agricultural situations,
especially out west, like you want to go take over a cattle ranch
and rule a Montana, I wouldn't recommend it. But chicken processing plant.
So in the video you see these guys, they're out there, they're matching
T shirts and they also have bike locks that are roughly large enough around to
accommodate their head. And that's important because they go into this poultry processing facility
and the facility has it has you know the big the big conveyor belt right
where you put the chickens on after they're killed and then throw all the process
and you know that thing spins around and they process chickens. Well, these
netwiths walk in there. There's a bunch of live chickens that they could see
in the middle, which you know we're normally grab them, kill them and
then put them on there. And they bike locked themselves to the conveyor belt.
Well, the conveyor belt wasn't moving at the moment, and I guess
nobody thought it might move, even though they were there to disrupt. And
uh, you know, chicken murder in progress. And this dude, when
that thing starts moving, gets his neck like almost broken, and they eat
turned a color of red that looked uncomfortable. You can see the guy not
the you can see the literally the guy who's running the facility over there saving
him. But and they but they're animal rescue, it said, And then
I was looking at it in that video is the ultimate FAFO, you know,
f around find out of the day yesterday. But I had questions,
if you're an animal rescue organization and there's a bucket of chickens that are still
alive right there, why are you not Why are you not grabbing them and
running right, you're there to rescue them. So momentarily stopping a conveyor belt
where the police just can cut you off, doesn't do anything. Grabbing those
chickens and taking off, you'd at least save a few chickeny lives. But
that's all on the Twitter. You can go check that out at Casey on
the radio is the handle, So there you go. All right, Uh,
here we go. Try to flip around for a bunch of stuff.
So mister Beast I knew, we knew it was coming, decided he was
gonna go over. He's gonna put He's gonna because he's done all these grandiose
things. Right, we're paying for eyelasik surgery. We're doing this. And
the next thing that he decided to do is to go and spend an ungodly
sum of money, but do it for what most people will consider a charitable
purpose, and that was to go to parts of Africa that deal with the
inability to access clean, safety drinking water and putting wells and other facilities in.
They're not all wells, and somebody got mad with that, some of
its pipelines. But the point is providing water to individuals who don't have it.
In fact, it's like one third of Africans don't have access to it
if you take the continent as a whole, and depending on which of the
fifty some kind of I think there's fifty four fifty six countries it ebbs and
flows. And so they went to these they targeted these areas where there were
problems and they did this video. They put out all the money. This
is what he does. And you know, I would argue North Carolina's lucky
to have them. Man, after being shown around the school, Yeah,
damn, guess how's it going? Well? Hold on, click the wrong
one one hundred. Wells, we're gonna building this video. You just witnessed
a small village in Kenya get access to unlimited, clean drinking water in less
than a second. Down more well than I ever going to go. All
right, all right, see you at the gist of it, and people,
look, there's obviously there's going to be the production, which is the
high energy, the algorithm from an algorithm standpoint, what is going to play
Well, it's going to be timed out, you know, because he if
he's the top top YouTube, almost positive he is. But obviously part of
that is you. You know, you want to put stuff together that is
going to interest the audience but also entertain him. And I would argue that
he did that, and I think people like some of this grandiose, charitable
stuff, and he's in a position to do it, and then it's so
predictable. People have a problem with it. Yes, from a journalist to
quote community leaders over in Africa saying that it's stereotypes. It's stereotyping countries like
Kenya and making them look bad. If a third of your people don't have
access to clean drinking what isn't that's Isn't that what's making you look bad?
I just I mean from a pr standpoint, I feel like that's what's making
you look bad, not some dude who wants to come over. And then
you're gonna accuse him of being a white savior because because he did that.
And by the way, I didn't ross. I didn't see him in the
Yahoo article interviewing any of the people in that village in Kenya. No,
I'm sure you're sure they're enjoying the water, right. We really appreciate that
dude coming here and giving us the water. Yeah, but you know it
went the other way, like if he was like, I'm mister beast and
I'm in rural I know yesterday the guy said we were saying that word wrong
now you know, Arkansas and I'm building house or whatever it is, they'd
be like, oh, why is the only help in the white folk?
Right? Like the dude can't win. I mean, whatever he does,
they're gonna find some fault in it, absolutely, you know. And there
was a guy from Ghana who's apparently some well known guy. He was apoplectic
over it. He was so mad and it's like, what's the last thing
you donated? And that made him more mad. You started blocking people.
Yes, it was very funny to watch that, but they should be embarrassed.
Yeah, they should be. And John Stossel a long time ago went
over and he did a report about how their governments work over there and about
the the government handouts that they have and what they actually do with the money.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, this is well, it's it's literally
that very same model that you're talking about, where it's uh, you know,
it's like all the Hamas guys living and cutter and the one in London
with the billions of dollars ain't sticking around. Sticking around. It's a tale
as old as time. Yaser airfats stole a lot more than that, and
you go into a lot of countries in Africa and China is using that corruption.
They're advantage to get un votes by you know, giving this money and
not paying attention when it doesn't get used for the public. And then you
know, it is the expectation of some of these deskpot leaders that donations from
organizations and individuals outside of the country can run the country. And then they're
going to take all the money and yeah, all right, uh oh crap,
race sagic. I'm gonna need like a really shortcasts from you, so
fire away, sir, I'm sorry. Yeah. Beautiful today, most near
eighty, maybe some records. Big changes for Friday on the weekend, the
biggest being temperatures as we're close to sixty Tomorrow, maybe a little rain,
not a bunch cloudy Veterans Day in the fifties, and then a little chance
of rain on Sunday. We'll see it looks like most of the rain will
be south of us. But the message here, warm today and much cooler
through the weekend and even early next week. All right cool, Thank you,
sir, appreciate it. And Jeff Bellinger's next hang on all right,
Good morning eight fifty four and your Bloomberg Update with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff,
what's happening? Well, morning, Casey. Stock market futures are higher right
across the board this hour, with the Dow futures up one hundred four points.
Walt Disney posted its quarterly numbers after the markets closed yesterday. The entertainment
company reported a bigger than expected profit and announced it plans further cost cuts.
The number of workers signing up for unemployment benefits ticked lower last week. The
Labor Department counted two hundred and seventeen thousand first time claims. That was down
three thousand from the week, but continuing claims increased for a seventh straight week,
all suggesting it's taking longer for unemployed workers to find new jobs. There
are worries in the television industry that the just ended actors strike may have done
some lasting damage. An analyst at Maffitt Nathanson tells Bloomberg the networks could salvage
a half season's worth of scripted shows, but he thinks the damage has been
done. Viewers and ad buyers have moved on. Latest layoffs at Amazon dot
Com or hitting the company's music division. We don't know how many jobs are
being cut, but Casey, Amazon's going to be hiring in some areas next
year. The online retailer plans to resume supermarket openings in twenty twenty four,
and a grocery delivery service it's been testing in some markets will go nationwide next
year. It's for customers who are not Amazon Prime members. Casey. Okay,
all right, well, thank you much. Sure we'll chat again tomorrow.
That sounds good. Talk to you. Then, all right, there
you go, uh race stage or excuse me, Jeff Felder race staging the
last segment. Jeff Felder in this send up a few minutes, and of
course I got a sneeze. Come on, man. By the way,
you saw the story of the various embedded photographers reporters who were not finding out
not only are embedded in like Gaza, but specifically are like shadowing Hamas fighters
and likely did shadow on the seventh, which was when this whole thing kicked
off. And some people are like, well wait a second, ap CNN
and Reuters, who were all among them, you're telling me you had dudes
staff, dudes that were embedded with people and likely embedded before they really started
the murdering, and you didn't you didn't see a problem with that, Like,
that's not somebody following a candidate around for a day. That's horrendous and
remarkably more horrendous when you think about the fact that, like, can you
imagine you're somebody who's home the door has just been kicked in. These people
are here to kill you. There was one instance was reported on where they
think the one of the AP photographers was actually there, and that story involved
a young woman who was her home broken into the hamas fighters literally took turns
raping her. When the last one was done, shot her in the head.
Now, think of the horrendous nature of what that is, you know,
and by the way, that was actually reported in addition with AP.
But put it through whatever philter you want, but imagine the the well,
the unthinkable nature of all of that and now you don't know what's happening,
but this thing is happening, and you're terrified, and you're injured, and
they, you know, they beat her and then eventually shot her. Is
the allegation and the whole time. It's sport mode, paparazzi cameras clicking away.
I don't know why that's worse, but it's worse. And remember AP
was actually in a building. Sare in a building with Hamas, and that
was the whole story last year because AP got mad because they're like, why
did you why did you shoot a missile over here? And they're like,
well, Hamas's headquarters it's on the floor below you. So there's that.
So CNN has now come out and issued a wishy washy statement saying that they
looked into it. They don't don't. We don't think there's a there there,
but we we cut ties with the dude, so are they suspended him?
So so you do think or you don't think. I'm really confused here.
And I understand that journalists in some instances are not going to be forthcoming,
Like you know, we had a couple like interviews of high profile targets
where a journalist gets in there. Obviously the location of where the interview is
going on may be disclosed, but it's not past the government, and that
has people divided. But having a paparazzi crew along for your murder spree and
them to be a staff member or a staff or a string or even for
one of the big news organizations. That should that should be the top story
today. Man, that's horrendous. And we still haven't heard from Aper Reuters,
So we'll get into more of that tomorrow, I'm sure, but for
now, we gotta go have a good one.
