All right, good morning everybody, and how you doing. It is Wednesday,
case O Day Radio program. It is the first Wednesday of the month,
so that would mean that we are chatting with Lieutenant Governor today, right,
yes, okay. Normally my brain doesn't kick up on which Wednesday it
is until a little later in the show, but today today we are.
We're on it, So we'll chat with Mark Robinson coming up. That'll be
an hour of three at eight oh five, So you're gonna have yep,
you're gonna have to stick it out with us for a couple hours. But
you know, between indictment insanity and the insane analysis that I watched on about
two or three different singular segments, I can't subject myself to just rolling CNN
coverage or MSNBC or even Fox for that matter anymore. So I went in
and I watched some of the panels. It's pretty easy to find stuff.
And just as you know, just as it always is, this is this
is, this is going to be what the third indictment, and then they'll
probably be a fourth and the hits keep coming and the walls are closing in
the end. Is now what was the other one? They used a lot
they had the walls are closing in. I think that was the big one
people would make fun of because they put supercuts of different analysts saying the walls
are closing in. But man, there was one other that they used to
say all the time. Well, whatever it was, um, you know
it was. It was more of the same, albeit with these indictments in
DC, which if you look at it long term, if you look at
it long term and you look at the analysis of people who I feel tend
to get it pretty pretty close. I don't think there's as much confidence in
what they brought yesterday versus the mar Lago stuff. But it's the scarier stuff.
And even though Donald Trump would have to in this case face those in
DC instead of Florida, the Supreme Court is the you know, the end
of the line here. Do I think a Republican, let alone Donald Trump,
who what did he get eight percent of the district or something? Do
I think that he is he or anyone around him, can get a fair
trial in DC? No, I don't, absolutely not. I think that
when you look at voting patterns like that, you see now to be fair,
the one crazy m grand jury chicks, she was actually from Atlanta.
So, but you know, we've seen some doozies in DC, and so
no, I don't think he can. And you know, there is discussion
that you know, what we need is we need a law saying that if
you if you do something up in DC and they want to charge you at
the federal level, you should be able to adjudicate it back where you live.
You know, maybe there's some merit to that, but the fact is
Trump's gonna sit there. He'll he'll you know, he'll face it in a
year, maybe maybe even longer on this stuff. And as long as nobody
croaks on the Supreme Court, I don't know that what you saw yesterday is
really as biggest problem. The mar Lago stuff is likely as biggest problem.
So but don't take my word for it. Well, we got audio,
we got we got Trump responding, We got everything for you, and including
the Lieutenant governor our number three eight oh five. Oh and uh, if
you're if you're leaving right now to go to Florida, UM, do me
a favor, just make sure you tune in the next segment because I got
some bad news for you. Okay, A little bit of an outbreak down
there very old timey. We'll get to that coming up. Hang on the
show. After the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search Casey O Day
for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. All right, good morning if he
is six sixteen. I don't know if you could tell. During the first
segment by Peter decided, Hey, you didn't do this thing we needed you
to do, so we're gonna shut the window down. So I was just
sitting there trying to do that off the memory. But we're we're up and
running. So if it ain't one thing, man, but at least we're
secure or something for all the stuff you have to do. Yeah, New
York Times, just at a yeah, at a couple of doozies. We'll
get. In fact, I'm gonna package deal those coming up here in just
a few minutes. But I promised. If you were on your way out
the door headed to Florida, you probably want to know leprosy. There's an
outbreak of leprosy in central Florida, because why not why not have a leper
colony in the middle of Florida. Now, when they say central, basically
they have health officials in central Florida. This is from the CDC say the
cases of leprosy, also known as Hanson's disease, are surging. Well,
that's horrible. Uh, let's see in in the CDC statement, they say
that Central Florida has accounted for eighty one percent of reported cases in the So
Central Forida has eighty one percent, and they lead on a per capita basis
nationwide. How many people get leprosy every year? Is this still a thing?
Let's see here. That's twenty twenty. Okay, so in twenty twenty,
See here's the problem. Can you. I don't trust medical stats from
twenty twenty to give an accurate representation because some people didn't avail themselves of certain
treatments. I guess when you have leprosy you don't really have a choice.
They say there was one hundred and fifty nine cases of leprosy in twenty twenty,
Florida doing about a fifth of the business. This year it's over a
third. So if you're headed down to Disney, I guess it's further south
than that. But if you're headed down there, there's one more thing for
you to worry about. So all right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four, So let me hit this New York Times. Two
things. So one, the New York Times had a big report out about
the spy tools that you heard about where they were abused. One was abused
like two hundred and eighty some thousand times. And when the FBI director was
testifying before Congress, what a week and a half ago, he's like,
yeah, we got to do a better job on that didn't seem very nonplus
by it, and said, well, you know, we're working on four
on fixing it. So the New York Times actually wrote some stuff and they
were looking for where the spy tool originated. That various because it wasn't just
FBI using it, it was various government entities. So the FBI said that
they would investigate. And so then the FBI in this story from the New
York Times, this is the this is the headline. Who paid for mysterious
spy tool according to the FBI, The FBI did. Yeah. So after
this became an issue, the FBI said that they launched an investigation to determine
who in the US government had had this spy tool, either constructed or purchased
or whatever. And after a thorough investigation, they determined it was them.
They literally did the spider man mean? So they drug this out from the
hearing and then went But apparently they don't know to the point where they have
to look, even though this was something that was focused on for almost an
entire hearing, They have to do an internal investigation because nobody at the FBI
knows that the other person at the FBI, you know, one one division
had this thing built and now it's utilized not just by the FBI but by
various other governmental entities and abuse two hundred and eighty seven thousand times last year.
So that's number one. Number two. The New York Times is covering
what's going on in South Africa. You know, obviously there's a lot of
history there. There are certain political interests and individuals who we're holding some big
rallies and they were they were telling individuals to see the beef is that the
majority of the agricultural land is still owned by white South Africans. So even
though you know, post Apartheide, things changed and there was a lot more
power that was given over to non white South Africans, land ownership was not
among those that was redistributed significantly. Some of it was well that's the beef
and so there there was a rally. Somebody said, hey, you gotta
go get him, and an older white South African farmer had his throat slit
by four individuals. Now, whether it's all connected, it doesn't matter,
because everybody's mad at each other. Everybody's upset at each other. So that's
you know, that's it's that's that's the standing. Uh, just the way
things are. But all it takes is a little bit of somebody calling on
individuals to do things and there was almost immediate reaction. So tensions are beyond
high. People are posting videos, some of which are like years old and
mislabeling it. Whether they don't know where they're doing and intentionally, it doesn't
matter. Those folks, though, on social media, who would post videos
like that knowing, you know, knowing that it's going to cause confusion.
They're the ones that everyone screams about, saying that Elon Musk, you know,
invited back on the Twitter platform. But then the New York Times is
literally as bad as them. Case in point, the New York Times things
cracking out again. Here we go. The New York Times, in covering
the white South African protest of the farmer who was killed. The farmer who
was murdered put the following headline and subheadline out yesterday. Quote killing of white
farmer becomes a flashpoint in South Africa outside a court hearing for two black suspects
in a murder case, White Afrikaners nostalgic for the apartheid era and black protesters
angry that white still own most farmland. So they're nostalgic for apartheid? How
do you how do you know that? How do you determine that somebody's nostalgic
for you know? Once that I couldn't say, couldn't there be people in
the middle where they think, all right, well, like maybe that's wrong,
but also maybe going and murdering farmers is wrong, and so we don't
have to do apartheide, but maybe we shouldn't basically be on the cusp of
a racial civil war because I feel like the New York Times just decided to
skip over that remote possibility that there are individuals who don't want to murder each
other but also don't want a parteid. But nope, no, they're there.
They're protesting, and the people they're protesting are the the favorite of the
New York Times. So yes, nostalgic for the apartheid era. The amount
of projection is absolutely amazing. But that's New York Times. So you tell
me who's the real journalist and then get back to me on some guy posting
a video trolling people. That's that's a dude. Who's Who's Twitter? Twitter?
And picture is like a Rennan Stimpy cartoons. Still, this is the
New York Times claiming to be the the Gray Lady, the Arbiter of Information,
America's newspaper, and they've decided that anyone who doesn't want murdered on their
own farm is wanting the apartheid back. So good stuff. Appreciate the contribution.
All right, let me get into a little audio here by the way,
Oh I saw Ross did rip this down? Okay, dude, do
do do do? So? Um the but no, no, hold on
the kill the boy? Is this the coffin thing? Ross? I'm sorry,
that's that's the thing they were doing in South Africa. I know exactly
where it was. It was one of the biggest political parties and they were
all on stage and chanting kill the board, kill the farmer, right right
right right right, Yeah, this is okay, all right, That's why
I didn't played at first. I thought it was the So one of the
things that is floating around is people are posting a video of a in South
Africa, a black man being essentially shut in a coffin and implying that he
was buried and it's some you know, race war thing it and he died.
None of that is true. I mean, it is true that he
was It is true he was put in the coffin, and literally there's a
trial over it and the people who did it. It's something that didn't just
happen, but is part of these larger back and force and between that and
landownership led people to hold this big rally that Ross did pull the audio from.
So um, let me get this m D the poor, da,
the poor, the fao pah pah, all right, I don't need the
sound effects there. But yeah, yeah, things are a little dicey.
Um. But again, assigning anyone who would oppose that which many people argue
led directly to the murder of this farmer by these for individuals, maybe you're
projecting when you say that they just want to part tied back. So but
hey, that's just me Ross. What were you saying. I'm sorry you
were saying something before I played the audio. No, I'm saying I hadn't
heard that story. You were saying, it's just I was gonna say with
the audio from the political rally. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, Well it's it's it's a short video and there's there was what is
what is the guy's name on Twitter? Who I swear he intentionally mislabels videos,
but he's trolling people such a delicate line. And he was just suspended
the other day, was don Luke Prey or whatever. I saw that video
and people were assuming that it just happened, and I'm like, no,
no, no, I remember this. This is bad. But the dudes
alive. He was. He's literally watching people as they're on trial for what
they did to him. So, all right, more on the Biden insanity
coming up. Thank you. Casey is UPTI in the triad and one oh
six one FM talk in the Triangle. All right, welcome back, six
thirty five. You're on your Wednesday morning. Dude. They didn't extrapulate this
in the story, but they probably should have. It's the story is about
Jason Aldean. Obviously you had people freaking out over the music video for the
song because apparently he doesn't like people burning his towndown and that became a issue
where CMT wasn't going to show the video and the people responded and that that
song, Jason Aldean's latest song shot to number one. But it's more than
that. If you look at the Billboard Hot one hundred, all right,
so this is all the music, this is not country, this is all
the stuff out there. For the first time, the top three spots are
in fact country artists, which a pad guess apparently has never been a thing
with the Billboard Hot one hundred. What's interesting about it is, if you
look down, each of the three have had some beef to some extent with
the woke mob and and and somewhat recently so Aldane obviously with his Try That
in a Small Town song that's number one on the Hot one hundred, followed
by Morgan Wallen. What he was canceled for like a year, right,
and what was it? It was some old tweets or video or something.
I don't even he used some language. He used some racist, racist language
and um, but anyway, he's back. He's at number two, number
three is Luke Combs, who is on there because of the Tracy Chapman Fast
Car cover, which, as we discussed last last week, is very troubling
somehow, except it's not for literally anybody. And when you look at Luke
Combs talk about it, he's a huge Tracy Chapman fan. But the Washington
Post, the New York Times and the rest have to write their stories and
get various experts in there to talk about how this is, um, this
is the repurposing of music, and all music has been repurposed on a racial
scale. And meanwhile, most people are just listening to the song, going
that's cool. Hey, let me listen to the old one too. But
yeah, they're top three, and all to some extent have been criticized in
the form of Combs. Wallen was canceled, and all Dean is in the
process of getting whatever they feel punishment should be coome in his way, and
America is like, now, these are our three favorite songs, so Pounds
sand those are those are the ones we're going to listen to, which I
don't know, man, I think that's that's kind of interesting, and maybe
it is indicative of people going, you know what I'm done with this.
I'm done with you telling me who is and isn't available for me to listen
to their music, watch them act, listen to their radio show, or
watch the video that they created. I'm I'm out there and I'm gonna do
it. And I want to listen to these three guys even though you got
a problem with them. So will that continue? I don't know, but
it would be at least a step in the right direction there, So all
right eight eight, eight, nine, three four seven, eight seventy four.
I want to be on the show now. Not everything is hunky dorry
in the world of music. Unfortunately, apparently Lizzo is having some issues.
According to report by three of Lizzo's former dancers, the FluTEST and singer dancer
creates a hostile work environment and may have sexually harassed people. This part of
a lawsuit filed Tuesday. They allege that she was was fat shaming them.
Lizzo was fat shaming her dancers. Isn't that Lizzo's whole thing? And and
I just saw like two still frames of of her of her dancers, and
she is larger than any of the dancers in those photos. I don't know
if those are always the dancers or what the deal is. But if you're
fat shaming and you're Lizzo, and I mean I understand that you're the star
there, plus perhaps there's even some sexual harassment. I can't figure out how
that works. Like, listen, listen, only Lizzo is allowed to eat
the cake. Okay, what the cake there? And the green that's Lizzo's
back off dancer, all of the cake. So you think that, how
how how is this? So do you think maybe she's shaming them for being
too skinny? I like, I don't know how that conversation. How how
Lizzo rolls up to one of her dancers and it's like, you know what,
you're putting on some weight because Lizzo is beautiful. You know, Lizzo
is a beautiful queen. Yeah yeah, right, body positive positivity and a
celebration of the new feminine mystique. Right. But the dancer though that they
are not queens and they are not Lizzo, and they need to back away
from the cake. They too much cake. Don't even think about the cake.
I'll bet the cake a pig, you know what I'm saying. Oh,
I bet backstage at a Lizzo concert. It's probably like that. It's
like that Delhi they show in New York where like they piled up ASTROMI like
seven foot high. Oh yeah, you get the cornbeefstram Yeah, yeah,
yeah, and those are and they're but they're all on like finger size little
things, big long toothpicks. Man. You know, some of the you
know, the bands will dictate what people get to eat, and some of
the staff too. So like when I was doing concerts, we'd be at
the mercy of whatever weirdness whoever was playing thought would would be appropriate, and
most of them let their their staff handle it, but some wanted to impart
what it is that they like to eat upon you. And so then there
was you know, just be like some vegan, weird vegan collection of something
and you're just like, man, I've been busting my butt all day.
I am starving, and uh we have watercress and uh, you know,
Lettuce, this is this is horrible. So she can control it. It's
on her as the point that I'm making, it's in her rider. So
if she thinks the dances are putting on some weight and this is a beef
that she then don't cater for them, It's very simple. Or do it
in public now and have it be part of a lawsuit. Lizzo, whose
real name is Melissa Vivian Jefferson, named as the defendant, along with her
production company and Arlene Quigley, who is the dance captain, who I guess
is in the lawsuit, says is the lawsuit says she's the one that Lizzo
would give the orders to if she didn't do it herself, and then make
her go fat shame the girls too. So I don't know, it's it's
a mess. I really don't care. I'm not going to a Lizzo concert
anytime soon. But when I read the headline, I had to envision what
this must look like, and I had some questions. So you know,
feel free to do your research, all right. Eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seventy four. And we need a craft services, big old
those bigger Now. I want one of those big old Delhi sandwiches up at
the Carnegie Delhi or wherever. That would be so good. All right,
um, we have well, let me let me do this. We'll go
ahead and take the break. We have a I guess a wonderful way to
you know, get get a little money into the hands is some of your
favorite D list celebrities from back in the day, people you haven't you haven't
thought of for for a very long time. But also a a cop out,
I guess would be the play way to say it. I'll explain what
this is coming up here on the case O Day radio program, Thank You
Casey is PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the
Triangle. So do you guys know what cameo is. Cameo is a service
where you can go and you can have made for you by a celebrity of
varying calibers based on basically how much money you want to spend a little message,
right, so you could you know, you can go on there and
you can have William Hung, who is actually in this Wall Street Journal article,
you can have him record like a little video message for you know,
a friend or like it's their birthday and they really like William Hung. Whatever
it is, and it's it's pretty reasonable in some instances. There's a lot
of Dalist celebrities on there, so it's not as expensive as you would think.
However, Cameo's seen a little bit of a trend, and the Wall
Street Journal wrote a piece on this. I'm a little creeped out by this,
but I don't know. Maybe you think this is a good idea away
from the typical utilization of the more affordable celebrities on here to wish people happy
birthday, happy graduation, whatever it is. Now more and more people are
paying celebrities to deliver bad news for them. So if you got some bad
news and you don't want to actually have the conversation with somebody, and you
don't want to just be the guy who texted them, you want to do
something a little more, you can hire William Hung or somebody from a show
called vander Pump Rules that should I know that show that's got to be some
weird MTV show or something right, well, whatever, you can hire them.
William Hung is just thirty dollars, by the way, to record your
message like I'm divorcing you, or we're breaking up or I quit. Those
are the three most popular according to cameo man, m I guess, I
look, I guess. If you're divorcing somebody and you're all bitter and cheese
about whatever brought it forward and this will make you feel better than you know.
Whatever, do it. The tragedy is we're Ross and I were talking
about this. The people we would really want to hire if we were to
create I'm Divorcing You video are dead, but would have been like Sam Kinison,
would have been amazing. Yea, Ross's like Gilbert Godfrey. Can you
imagine Can you imagine Sam Kinison or Gilbert Godfrey explaining to your soon to be
ex spouse what's up in their very tender and soft delivery way of communicating information?
Dude, that'd be that'd be hilarious. They say, roughly five thousand
requests this is uh in the last three years for instructions that include divorce in
there, However, over half of them came in the last year two thousand
for breakups. Uh in a thousand people thus far quitting their jobs. Oh
what is this people are telling me? They use cameo had Randy Travis and
his wife to a birthday greeting? Okay, was he upright? I like
Randy Travis. He just he had the he had a little incident there in
Texas. But what was it? It was like a trans am or ah,
he like drove into a ditch or something really crazy drunk. Yeah,
and then he was naked on the road, lay laying on the road.
He had gotten out. He wasn't ejected or anything, but they found him
naked laying on the road. Man, I mean, I mean we've all
been there. Well, I no, I've never never nakedly laid on the
road. Wait wait, wait wait it's a I say it. I mean
we've all been there? Right, Oh, thank you AI Power by Rose
AI. That really appreciate that. In fact, I'm trying to yeah,
where is Yeah? I did have a parody song last night. I pulled
a bush light out from Oh no, that's not it. Oh yeah,
no, okay, uh where is the good one? Now? I'm sorry,
I'm just going it's all nostalgic now in my head because I had forgotten
all about we had like multiple parody songs. This was years ago, but
it was here on this show. For some reason. I was thinking it
was when I was still back in Minneapolis. I may have to look at
that. But you know, if you got the Randy Travis thing and you
were happy with it, it served its purpose. I just think there's something
more but about you know, divorcing your spouse with um one of the guys
from Flavor of Love or one of the girls from Flavor of Love, which
are available, by the way, which one is? Is it New Yorker
Hoops? I don't know it's it's in the article it mentions it. I
still can't believe he went with hoops. What the flavor flavor? He chose
hoops in the first season over New York. How do you know that?
Because we watched it. We watched every we loved it, Marky and I,
oh every episode. And on Sunday I think, yeah, I remember
watching one episode, but it wasn't when he was him. It was um
who did they have the rocker on? There? Was it? Vince Neil?
No? Who who was the other the other one? They did favor
Rock of Love? Right, I remember watching it. No, it was
the dude with the every every Rose has its thorn, the guy from Poison
Poison Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I watched part of
that. And then I saw they were doing the Flavor of and and I
said I would like to watch an episode just because I don't know how he
is able to communicate, and like, yeah, I'm saying it was a
training coherent Yeah, it was so good. So how are you having conversations?
How are you getting to know the young ladies there? Find out their
interest? He got to know a lot of them in the shower. Apparently,
when you're a hip hop star like Flavor Flavor, that's where you really
get to know people. It's in the shower. Oh okay, all right,
well look I'm not a hip hop star, so what do I know.
I just I just envision I remember envisioning in my head. How is
that man going to communicate with women during those little like where they cut and
there's on the dating shows and they're sitting outside on the patio having this discussion
which has all these sexual undertones. You're telling me he didn't. He did.
He just skipped all that and went right to the shower. That's just
it's his intellect and it's his charisma. Yeah, and it's been account and
on the intellecting charisma and and what else. It's a very nice it's a
nice shower. Oh the tiling and stuff. Yeah, I mean it's so
nice. You ever you've ever been in one of the steam showers. It
has like the eight different events or the waters out. Oh, that's amazing.
And I'm sure it was probably something along those lines. So who am
I to U? I just remember how trashy all the girls were for poison,
and I couldn't even imagine what they had lined up for flavor Flavor what,
oh, dude, the epitome of class. Did they at least did
they at least have like one one woman in there who's like an MIT professor,
just so we can be like, what the hell is she doing there
with you now? And I don't remember, Oh I've been flavor flav if
you didn't go in the shower, you were voted off, you know,
five for five bucks, I'll relay bad news to whoever you want, and
it won't even be through cameo. I'll be from my direct phone to their
direct phone, because in cameo there's like a barrier, like, yeah,
this isn't real. It's there a website. But if you direct message from
my phone everything, but like term, I'm not gonna give news like somebody's
dying of a terminal disease. But i'd be like a divorce or you know,
I quit my job, or I'll do that five bucks. I'll do
it as as somebody else, like for ten bucks. I'll do it as
a celebrity, so I will do it as Sean Connery. Whoever you want,
or you should up. William Hung is getting thirty, you should get
more. It's a good point, but it can be anything like I ate
the little I ate the last of the ice cream. I'm sorry. Right,
you're gonna be a busy, busy guy. All right, well there
you go yet another side hustle, and this something very weak when he established
the new ross Ai company. So busy, busy dude. All right,
two more hours to go, hang loose. News is that morning and welcome
It is our number two here on the case O Day radio program. So
we were talking a little celebrity cameo stuff because apparently it's becoming a thing for
people who want to announce, and the majority of them seem to be divorces
to their soon to be espoused they don't want to tell them, so they
want somebody who is marginally famous for about fifty to one hundred dollars that'll do
it for him or cheaper in the in the case of William Hung is charging
thirty and Ross's charging five, but he's not technically a cameo thing. So
um, all right, whatever do you think maybe that might have contribute to
your marriage troubles, your incessant need to make a make a you'd make the
cameo, but then you make the video about the cameo and presenting it to
your soon to be spouse and you throw that on TikTok or YouTube or something
and you get you get clout man, So that sounds like a clout move
because you're sharing that. If you go and you get a cameo to announce
to your X that it's time to be X. Is you know you're sharing
that with all your friends because you think you're so clever. So I don't
know, maybe if you've got to have that kind of conversation, better better
off you in the person if you can, I guess. Let me grab
a call here, Dennis. What's up? Hey? Are you doing today?
Uh? You know, just uh, just hanging in there in middle
of the week, sir. So we're we're we're making strides. What can
I do for you? Oh? Hey, the late great art I would
learn to get a video audio. Yeah, you know, I can send
out a bad message to somebody. Uh like when he was at when he
was doing his show, back in the day, seems playhouse. Could you
imagine getting the audio and a video from the big blue talking chair up?
Yeah? Um, okay, well again, what's that? What's that?
Ros said? Oh? Here, absolutely, cherry would cost more. That's
okay, it'd be well worth it. You're on you're on creepy level.
Not you personally, sure, but anyone who was getting a kids entertainer to
divorce their spouse, Um, I don't know what. There you go?
Hey, what what ross? Quick day? What is your pro rail again?
I heard it the other day and I was trying to mimic it,
but I need to hear it one more time. I don't feel like that
today though. You can pick every day. So all right, man,
hey, you guys have a great day. All right, thank you,
sir. I appreciate it. All right. So he's going peewee Herman kids
entertainment. I mean, yeah, I guess if you're if you're gonna,
if you're going to do something like that, the weirder the better, considering
it's not a birthday. Yeah, but he wants like all the extras.
He wants Cherry and miss A Vaughan and you know Mecha Lekahi mecahiny Hoe.
That's gonna cause extra right, I'm assuming yeah, I'm assuming it's not a
group rate on cameo where you get like the whole cast. No, everyone's
everyone's gonna want to get paid. And I guess my question is how bad
do you want to divorce this person and make a spectacle out of it?
And if the answer is very bad, then, uh, you know,
tal him up, round him up. I've seen some cameos that had a
couple of different people doing different parts, so, um, you know and
anything. Hey, if you got the money, I guess you can make
it happen. All right, let me flip over to this. So yesterday
it was announced that Trump would be indicted in Washington, d C. This
is uh obviously a different issue than Marlago. When you start looking at the
courts. The judge that he was apparently assigned has been one of the harshest
January six judges. And I was looking up a little bioever she was She
used to rep Theara Nos prior to I guess her time in being a judge,
So that goes back a little bit there. When was she appointed?
So she was appointed under Obama? Yeah, and she is she is referred
to as the punisher. So you couple that with what is likely to be
a jury pool that consists of ninety two percent Democrats, and that thing's going
to be a spectacle. But it's not going to be a spectacle probably for
quite some time. Also indicted with Trump five of his lawyers or four lawyers,
excuse me, and a political consultant among them, Juliani Eastman, you
know, names that you heard after the election. So and it just so
happened to also be on a day where the news cycle had been shoot up
by the testimony of Devin Archer on Monday, and everyone was discussing it,
not honestly, some people were, you know, still doing the Hey,
he's a loving father. Of course he's going to show up when he sees
his son sitting there talking to some people. Then talk about the weather.
Nothing to see here. You heard Dan Goldman try to put a summation together
yesterday, and he's like, he's like the Republican's best guy. The problem
is he's a Democrat from New York. Every time he talks or asks a
question, he gets something on record such as this now pivot from he never
talked to him about business to who he was never in business. And uh
yeah, all right, so this is the Trump thing here. Sorry,
I was moving something around on this, and this is Trump's response to the
indictment. It does, it doesn't sound assimilar to the other ones. But
for what it's worth, here we go. Is it a very dark place
right now, But even after everything the deep state has done to me,
I will never give up an America, mark my words. In twenty twenty
four, we will win back the White House. We will make America great
again. I have no doubt about it. They come at me from left,
they come at me from right, the Rhinos, the communist, the
Marxist, the fascists. We will not only survive, we will be stronger
than ever before. We're fighting a fight like nobody ever thought possible, and
we're winning. We won in twenty sixteen, We had a rigged election in
twenty twenty, but got more votes than any sitting president. All right,
so you know basically what you've heard at his rallies, and of course,
in response to the Marlago thing and really any of the courts. Yesterday,
literally as this indictment is being announced, there was a poll released that the
New York Times did and it shows Biden and Trump at forty three percent each,
So a dead heat. And I remember it's a New York Times poll
two, so I suspect that thing's going to go the opposite direction of what
New York Times is probably thinking. Who is the partner on it? Well,
it's a New York Times poll ticket for what it's worth. Obviously there's
other polls that have Trump up, others that have Biden up. But you
know, a dead heat on indictment day when everyone knew it was coming because
they've been talking about it for a week, and you still get registered voters
at dead split. Nobody's buying what's going on here? Is what that tells
me. And so the question is going to be all about timing, right,
So what is when are they able to get this the one court case
they want to start? What was it about two months out from the end
of the primary? So you're going to get then the meat of it through
the presidential Will there be gag orders so his opponents can sit there and talk
about it, but he can't talk about it. This all of this as
as we find out more from this judge and what our process is going to
be in What Jack Smith is asking for will be hugely impactful on the election.
And I guess the dream scenario is that they are able to get him
on a charge where he can't run right of a constitutional violation and he would
then be ineligible to hold the office of president. But it's all legal theory.
So that's the expanse. That's the response that was expected. And then
the conversation obviously dipped away from Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and Devin Archer too.
Well, what you're going to hear most of the day to day and
that is prognosticators talking about how the end, the end is nigh for Donald
Trump. All right, seven sixteen case O Day Radio program. Hang on,
this is one oh six one FM Talk in a triangle and nearest talk
WUPTI in the triad. All right, good morning, it is seven twenty
one streeting. An interesting little article here. More NFL players, yet just
in their twenties, fully roster ready are making the decision to retire, including
a former number one pick, what is his Jalen Hurd, who was or
was I guess a wide receiver for the Patriots. So he's out. That
marks three players in their twenties who said I got my money and I'm done
with this. I think you're going to see more of that. You remember
who who was it who kind of tapped out early back in the day,
well from a Minnesota Vikings perspective, Robert Smith. Robert Smith. He he
surprised everyone when he decided not to resign with the Vikings, and he was
a hell of a running back. Didn't Barry Sanders bug out a little early
too? Trying to remember, I think? And then obviously I think the
most famous recently was the quarterback Andrew Luck who was the Camp Miss quarterback.
And sure enough he came into the league, played really well, and then
just one day said I'm done. And now everyone in uh Colts Country hates
him, but I don't. I don't blame him. When you start,
when you start looking at the beating you're taking, the amount of money that
you're making, how much you actually need. Go go get yourself a nice
beach place in the Caribbean or something, and don't have two a days.
It'll be fine. So who are the other two I'm trying to see in
this story? Oh, then they don't put it. They just say he's
the third. Oh no, here we go, yeah yeah, yeah wow.
Well and then John Ross, I guess is one of them. And
the story is very poorly put together. Well anyway, I would expect that
to to pick up, especially among running backs now, but that'll be a
discussion as we get nearer to the old football there. All right, this
one right here, man Neil Degrass Tyson. You know, Frankly, Tyson
could stay out of all of this gender stuff, right He's not in this
unless he wants to be in it. Nobody's I haven't heard anyone demand his
opinion of this. He can talk as an astrophysicist about stuff. That's what
he does, and he's very entertaining when he does it. He has a
large following his videos on YouTube, the little shorts that he does. I
think they're great. But no, he decided to weigh in on this,
and you know this is this is a guy that if you asked, hey,
name like two famous scientists right now, I think that a lot of
people would include Tyson just due to how high profile he is. So he
decides he wants to get in and to do it, he's going to use
the worst explanation an example, in defense of, you know, putting children
through sex change operations, that I think you could come up with here it
is. My point is, apparently the xx x Y chromosomes are insufficient because
when we wake up in the morning, we exaggerate whatever feature we want to
portray the gender of our choice, either the one you're assigned, the one
you choose to be, whatever it is, and so now here so so
now, just to tie a bow on this, I say to you,
somewhere I read somewhere, I think I read that the United States was a
land where we have the pursuit of happiness. Yes, suppose, no matter
my chromosomes. Today I feel eighty percent female, twenty percent. Man,
I'm gonna I'm gonna put on makeup. I'm gonna do that. Tomorrow I
might feel eighty percent. Now I'll remove the makeup and I'll wear a muscle
shirt. Why do you care? Yeah? What? What? Why?
What business is it of yours to require? Did I fulfill your inability to
think of gender on a spectrum? All right? So a longer cut there.
But there's two things I want to hit. One. He starts it
off with the xx x Y chromosomes are what does What does he say not
that My point is apparently the xx xy chronosome efficient are insufficient. I don't
know. Um, they've they've worked pretty well for us. And then what
he's talking about is the softest sale example of what people are not talking about.
Right. They're not talking about somebody who gets up and goes, I'm
gonna wear makeup today or I'm not, or I'm gonna wear a muscle shirt
or I'm not. They're talking about if that person wearing makeup or the muscle
shirt is in a locker room in some cases with children, and they are
they're still you know, x, y or xx, depending on where they
were born, where they started, and now they're in the opposite locker room,
or they're competing against people in sports. This is this is what people
are, This is what the laws, this is what the discussion is about.
And then the most heinous in some people's minds is when you take a
kid who is four or five and you see these stories and they say,
you know, uh, Johnny liked to you like to play with the sisters
dolls, and and so we've helped funnel him into and now he is now
he's Janey and we're doing hormone therapy. We're not going to let him have
puberty, and eventually we'll we'll we'll do the surgery. And you're sitting there
going, you know what, when I was four, or if you have
a kid, you're like my four year old. What interested the four year
old is wildly different than what they're interested in just two years later. So
how do you make a decision like that? How do you as a doctor
stop puberty from happening at the request of the parents. That's what this debate
is about. It's not about muscle shirts or makeup, and so really really
lazy on his part, and I don't understand why he wants to get into
it. This is not his wheelhouse. Smart talk all day, w PTI
in the Triad and one oh six one FM talked in the Triangle. Understand
that. But it's one that I think a lot of people arrived at.
But is not a acceptable line of discussion on CNN, And that is is
Hunter Biden a scumbag? All right? Well, look, you're deaf indition
to scumbag mine as well. Probably a lot of similarities, but there'll be
a few things that are different. But for all practical purposes if you're analyzing
his behavior, and not just the photos of him with the hookers and and
and um the crack, but rather the actions of spending years essentially trying to
run them your your offspring, and you're the mother of your offspring into the
ground, the illegal proceedings, the insane way. When you actually read some
of Hunter's texts and things that were on the cloud that he interacts with people,
the getting with your dead brother's wife, some people may pass judgment on
that. Um do I need to go on? Well, on CNN,
that exact topic was was broached by one of the panelists and they were not
having it. Check this out. Hold on, here we go. The
president has made being a family man a central part of his political identity.
Uh, it's not Republicans, with all due respect, who made Hunter Biden
into a complete scumbag on this and other issues. All right, hold on,
So this is this is Scott Jennings. He is the he's the the
whipping boy on CNN in the sense that he's he's supposed to be the conservative
panelist and basically just troll everybody else on there. It was kind of like
what one Williams did on the on the five right. So he's got that
opinion. And in this case, it's evaluating whether he's a he's a scumbag.
It's not even a legal thing. And I think a lot of people,
with all the actions they've seen, have arised at that. So Jennings
throws it out there and the rest of the panels simply can't deal with it.
The ignoring his own daughter for four years and the present United States hanging
up a stocking for the dog, I mean, not for his seventh grand
shop. We can also have see, we can also have sympathy for people
who are struggling with addiction. Let's keep this conversation respect. I listen,
I totally agree, and you know where I'm from, a lot of families
deal with addiction, and you know who ends up picking up the pieces the
grandparents, And in this case, the grandparents would not acknowledge this little girl.
It is offensive. But the bottom line is the poll Oh what a
hero. The polling must have been brutal, making must have been brutally rather
questioned the heart and integrity of Joe Biden as a family man and as a
human being, and the pain and suffering and loss that that man has been
through. Look, I know people that can stack up their life experience and
especially when it comes to the pain and loss that they've dealt with. Um
obviously addiction issues uh in in families and like blow blow Joe Biden out of
the water. Yeah, Look, I'm fully aware of what happened with his
son. I'm fully aware of what happened with his first wife. We we
got that. I suspect there are people that have a much more troubled path
out there. That being said, this is one his kid too. This
Joe Biden is a family man narrative that has been in the news cycle now
for a week. Everybody, everybody under the sun that is a supporter of
Biden is tweeting out this this same analysis where he's just he's just a compassionate
guy. He's trying to help his son. And it started with he'd never
discussed any of this with his son, and now he's just being compassionate by
helping him, you know, get his and I and again, I understand
that motivation in the sense that you want somebody who is dealing with addiction issues
and making a lot of bad choices to maybe get something stable in their life
that can help propel them forward, perhaps to um, you know what you
always expected of him. But I just don't get that vibe here, Like
all I see is enabling. And then I see the payments for the Porsche
that he was he was gifted by the folks. Where was a hungry,
hungry bottom of Porsche. And then I see the unanswered questions. I see
the inability to deal with it. I see the throwing the gun in the
dumpster next to a school, and I have to ask myself, with all
this going on and everything that we know that Joe Biden enabled and maybe participated
in, where does this narrative go next? Right? Because first he didn't
talk about it, then he was there talking about the weather, and I
think as you get more information out there, they'll attempt to use this.
He's a family man, compassionate for his son as justification for maybe he did
maybe he did know that he was being used essentially as the product for Hunter
Biden's ability to extract money from these folks. Look, I can get the
vice president here at our table, but he was just doing that because he's
compassionate. This is going to be a never ending cycle. Meanwhile, there
is. Now they're saying there could be a fourth set of indictments for Trump.
The judge in the Trump case also worked at the same law firm that
Hunter Biden worked at. Oh yeah, man, it's the reason nobody trusts
what you guys are doing. And the reason why Trump has forty three percent
Joe Biden's got forty three percent is because about half of the country has decided
that anything that you're doing from an indictment standpoint with in DC or mar Lago,
they're not gonna They're not even gonna listen to it, even if they
believe it happened. They're looking at the way in which the Bidens are able
to operate, and if you ask questions, they're just compassionate family. Meanwhile,
Trump's family was attacked every single day. Now. Some of them chose
to be part of the process, and that's what happens when you get into
politics. But some of them didn't. What's the what's the one daughter from
his previous marriage, Uh, tiff Tiffany, Right, Tiffany wasn't in on
this stuff. They savaged her. I think they weren't. They even they
were going after Baron for the you know, talking about always on the spectrum,
right, and they have no knowledge of what's going on with him other
than the fact that he's like seven feet tall. That kid's crazy if you
look at a picture of him now, So, uh, save save me
all that garbage, okay, all right? Eight eight, eight nine three
four seven, eight seventy four. Yeah, the DC judge worked for the
law firm that employed Hunter Biden. It's it's a very small pool of all
the same people whose names come up again and again in many cases in different
jobs throughout the years. The judge's name is Tanya Shutkin yep. Spent twelve
years for Boys, Schiller and Flexner, which was the It's actually a pretty
big law firm, and it's basically it's a funnel for Democrats. Some that
go into become politicians, some that obviously go on to be judges, and
then most of the clients and the work that they do is surrounding democratic politics.
So there's a lot of people that go through there. And I'm not
surprised. All right. Seven forty three race agent from the weather Channel.
He never worked for that law firm, so you can trust him what you
got weatherwise, Sir, should be in good shape. Probably for one more
day today tomorrow. So after today, one more day and then Thursday night
to Friday, we'll start to see the weather go downhill just a bit with
some showers thunderstorm scene. Multiple complexes come through the Midwest and kind of in
this northwest flow weekend as they've gotten closer and closer, today's going through Saint
Louis and near Saint Joseph in Missouri, quinc and in through Iowa, diving
off to the east and southeast heading into Kentucky and give a Tennessee and that
one will weekend, and so we'll end up with sunshine and some clouds and
have mid and upper eighties today, and then tomorrow see a little more cloud
come in from the next area of rain and thunderstorms. That's going to get
a little closer, and we'll get up to the mid eighties tomorrow, and
then we'll get showers and thunderstorms tomorrow night into Friday, and Friday's highs with
the extra cloud covering, good chances of showers and storms cooler in the mid
to upper seventies. But as I mentioned all week, that's going to be
short lived because by the weekend we're partly to mostly sunny mid upper eighties.
Triangle might hit ninety degrees, especially by Sunday, so I have to watch
this pretty closely. I don't think severe weather, but it certainly does look
like out of the next few days that Friday is going to be our best
chance of getting some wet weather in here. All right, thank you sir,
we'll chatting an hour. Appreciate it, Okay, And when we come
back, who do North Carolinians trust on the issue of public education? Well,
we got another poll and this was conducted by Democrats for education reform,
and I don't think it shows what they wanted to show. We'll give you
the details coming up next show. After the show is on the iHeartRadio app.
Search Casey O Day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Oh boy,
I don't know about all this. Facial analysts claims humans are becoming less
attractive with every new generation. Really, you ever, do you ever see
an old timey picture? Maybe maybe the ones I haven't printed in my brain
are mostly like pictures of like people out west right, because obviously it's where
I grew up. But you know, you get some pictures of folks around
I don't know civil Warish era, you're dealing with a lot of handsome folks
or I don't know how to quantify that. I but maybe maybe it's um
when you're talking about the size that people are obviously that is that is worse
than than it has been. But I don't know. You look at you
look at a photo of um. They had, They had the big they
had these big, big, big, mural sized photos in this museum where
I grew up, Jim Jim Gatchell Museum, and they had like the first
two hundred residents of Buffalo or whatever in there. Uh. And I went
and looked at it because I have family members in there, and I remember
thinking, even as a kid, I'm like, man, life's life's life's
life's dealing out a very hard go of it for these folks, which obviously
it was. But I don't know how you I guess, if you want
to look, maybe in the nineteen fifties, but according to researchers, this
date's back well before that. Let's see what is now? What is he
choking it up to? Yeah, here we go. The average person's face
is becoming increasingly disadvantaged by modern diet, sleep patterns, pollutants, and oral
facial habits. Well, what is an oral facial I don't even want to
know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but they can do surgery too,
so you know, that's that's something that's kind of new, and I don't
know, maybe maybe it's just in whatever era you're in, you just think
everything's normal, because that's probably how most people see this. So, but
just know you're uglier than your forefathers, at least according to this individual.
All right, So education, we'll get into this. Lieutenant governor coming up
a pretty interesting swing. Normally, when you pull voters over who they trust
more on certain issues, there's there are there are certain seg mints that always
kind of end up in like a double digit lead and generally don't move Like
national defense, Republicans tend to win that. Schools, though, has always
been a Democrat thing, and in fact, a double digit lead in polling
for years and years is what was to be expected. However, a new
poll conducted by the Democrats for Education Reform said that that has switched. The
poll, conducted on July twenty eight, focused on North Carolina, Arizona,
Georgia, Nevada, and it now shows Democrats trailing Republicans by three point margin
when it comes to who they trust most on education. Case you in case
you want to know how dismal people feel that the current public education system is
like. This is even pre arguing about charter or voucher for private schools.
This is just people evaluating what's going on right now and realizing that the people
that they've trusted for almost every other poll that's been put out that follows this
stuff are doing a crap job of it. And while we may agree or
disagree on what you need to do to fix it, they're not happy with
it. In fact, let's see here, public schools are preparing students.
This is one of the questions they ask public schools are preparing students for success
after high school by ensuring they are teaching students to read and do math well.
Who's agreeing with that? And the answer is not a lot of people,
less than thirty thirty three and thirty six percent, respectively, actually believe
that students are getting taught to read and do math well. So then when
you get into the next question is all right, well, then who do
you want run in the system If you think it's broken and they want the
Republicans, it's The highest approval rating among the four states surveyed was right here
in North Carolina. Forty percent of voters placed their trust and Republicans, while
only thirty two percent of North Carolina voters say they have more confidence in the
Democrats when it comes to public education. And if you're this democratic, the
Democratic activists and group that ordered this, that's going to make your head spin
because the narrative you've been running is Republicans want to do away with public education.
So how when the hell could voters have more trust in them? And
I think maybe you need to look back at what your policies are, what's
your teaching kids, what parents just found out during the pandemic, how they
felt when they couldn't understand the teachers unions. They're on the national level sitting
there and concocting these ways to not have to have school start again, and
then to run around and try to take credit for getting kids back in school.
Is this is all of the trust that you squandered. This is people
having their eyes open to what their kids were learning. And the net result
is a what is normally a double digit win for Democrats is now a slight
wind for Republicans. And right around the time they're saying, hey, maybe
one of the things we need to do is vouchers. Obviously a big topic
of discussion. We'll get into this with the Lieutenant Governor coming up. I
am curious as they wrangle with the budget taken a little longer than they thought.
The governor's trying to get them to strip Medicaid out and do its own
thing there. How committed to reforming education and allowing access for families and not
just the wealthiest of families, but families in general in North Carolina to maybe
create a little competition in the education market. How high of a priority is
that. We'll talk to Mark about that coming up. What is this?
The CEO of Democrats for Education Reform acknowledge the trend same voters, especially parents,
desire more choice and Republicans are capitalizing. Oh they're pouncing, I got
you, or they're saying, hey, you want more choice than maybe we
should make it so that you know you can have more choice. But pouncing,
it's all pouncing. All right, back another hour ago. Lieutenant Governor
Mark Walker joins us, and we'll start in education. Got a few things
to cover coming up next. All right, good morning, everybody. It
is Wednesday, our number three and uh, it's one of those Wednesdays where
we we got a guest. Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson joins us. Morning.
Mark, how you doing today, sir? Hey, how are you?
Uh? You know it just like everyone else trying not to melt so,
Hey, I was just I was just chatting about this poll that was released
by the by Democratic Education Activist Group and a little something, A little something's
different. According to the new poll, which was conducted about five days ago,
the voters of North Carolina have more trust in Republicans as it pertains to
public education. And that's not normal. In fact, what is normal is
in many cases a double digit lea for Democrats in this So this is a
huge shift. What do you make of this mark before we get into specifics,
Well, it shows what's been going on over the last number of years.
Cases. It shows that people are now waking up and realizing that it
is conservatives, it's Republicans who want to give parents the right to have the
ability to children their children's educational destiny. It shows that it is Republicans that
have been pushing back against a lot of the indoctrination that's going on in schools.
It shows that COVID exposed a lot of it to a great extent,
and it shows that folks are really waking up and choosing better. They're realizing
actually where the problem, who is actually trying to solve the problems, and
who for years have been have been complacent in allowing a status quo to exist
that has been destroyed in our public schools for years. And so I'm glad
to see that people are highly starting to wake up and realize it. It's
folks on that right here inside of the owl, they're really trying to do
the work to bring public education back to a place where it should be.
Let's see, it's forty percent North Carolina breaks down for Republicans, thirty two
percent for Democrats. So it is the biggest of the for battleground states,
they pulled seventeen percent. Don't trust any of you, So I guess my
question is how do the Republicans. This is why it's so important that is
they're doing everything that they're doing that they get in their education initiatives, and
I'm just concerned in the past, well we've seen these as part of budget
discussions. They either get neutered a little or have not been included. I
think they got to take this and run. And how do you get these
seventeen percent that don't trust anybody to trust Republicans to try something different. You
have to make those demulcrasive statements about how education we believe education should be.
Number one, of course, giving parents total control of their children's educational destiny.
And then number two is putting discipline and order back in the classroom eating
Number three is making sure that we take care of our teachers, that we
pay them like professionals, hold them to a professional standards, and protect them
in the classroom, give them the respect that they deserve in the classrooms,
and batting them up one hundred percent to make sure that they're able to do
what they do on a daily basis. And then we've got to start really
preparing our children for life outside the classroom. We have to make sure that
our education system is not directed by making sure that we're feeling teams to continue
to get dollars or that we're trying to check boxes. What we need to
be doing is making sure our students are going to be prepared for life once
they leave that classroom. That they can take the skills that they learned in
the classroom transfer those things their lives to build great careers and great life.
What do you think? What do you think of this inclusion of medicaid expansion.
I can't remember if I've asked you on this. Obviously, a lot
of us were surprised when the Republicans decided to include it. The governor's been
wanting it. He once its separated from the budget, because I guess he's
bored. But for a lot of people, this position was set in stone
and then all of a sudden changed, and I guess I'm wondering what the
mindset is amongst the discussions you're having. Well, you know, I've made
I've made a point that I was against medicaid expansion, did not want it.
I was vietminly against it. But there are a number of members of
the House and Senate who believed the cause of the situation that we were in,
some of the extra money that we had, the cause of the COVID
tons we had, at some of the provisions that they put inside of the
bill itself, that Medicaid expansion was a direction could go with. You know,
they had those discussions they had those arguments, they went inside their their
chambers and did the work, and they decided that they would pass that bill.
Now the question is now is where do we go from here? How
do we get the absolute best result from this for the people of North Carolina.
And I believe that there is a way to do that. There's a
way to partner with some private entities to ensure that we direct this thing so
that we don't see some of the heavy handed effects that we have seen,
you know, the states take place, or some of the ill effects that
we have seen take place in other states. I think, now it's been
passed, where are going to have to be extremely uh vigilant to make sure
that we get the absolute best we we got we can out this for the
people of North Carolina. Again, was very much against it, but it
was not my decision alone to make. It was made by consensus by the
folks in the House and the folks in the Senate, and they chose to
pass that legislation. There are a lot of people who do not like it,
as you say it, but our job now is to move forward to
figure out how we can make this thing work best for the people of Nortilina.
Yeah, but you and I both know Mark that if going forward,
once people get hooked on something, you know, let's let's say that we
find out that it's not the cost neutral thing that they're claiming it is,
and it starts tearing a hole in our budget, it will be impossible to
roll it back from a political standpoint, right, So, once we're in,
we're in. I'm not sure if that's necessarily the case. I think
there are some provisions in it that kind of protect us. But that's the
thing that I pray does not happen. And not only am I going to
pray that that's not going to happen, We're gonna work like to try to
make sure that that does that happen. Casey, and again I reiterate my
original statement is I was against it from the very beginning. What you just
stated was my sphere from the very beginning. But as an elected official down
that it's been passed, my position is that we're gonna have to take what
we've got. I try to make sure we get the best result out of
it, and I've talked to a number of people in the private sector,
and I believe that if we partner with those folks. We can put some
things in place to make sure we get that best result. The news cycle
yesterday quickly flipped from Devin Archer too obviously a indictment of Trump, five of
his staff, four lawyers, one campaign worker, political advisor, and the
fact that the judge who has been assigned is literally a former partner at the
law firm where Hunter Biden was. It's so incestuous, Mark, when you
go up to DC and I know, you go up there and and you
know, do the do the schmooz the politician thing. Doesn't it make your
skin crawl sometimes? I mean it's like the same twenty people keep popping up
over and over again. It only makes my skin qual case. It makes
my blood boil that our Department of Justice is now being used like a political
entity. Uh, just as just like those entities were used uh in places
of like the Soviet Union, uh and like Germany during World War two,
UH, like China in the nineteen fifties, but now being used to to
uh indicte and to convict, to indicte and trying to jail political enemies.
Uh. You know, President Trump is suspised by the left, and I
believe he's despised by the left for three reasons. He was trying to make
this nation energy independent. He was trying to secure our border, and he
was trying to rebuild our military, the three things that we desperately need in
this nation for this nation to survive. And I believe that anyone who would
win that nomination uh and run from president and win in twenty twenty four,
if they're a Republican, if they're Democrat, it doesn't matter who they are.
Any person who goes and sits in that seat and does those three things,
anyone who goes and put America first and state they're going to put America
first, they are going to be roundly attacked the same way President Trump was.
And they they're going to be uh, those folks who are going to
seek to destroy them because for some reason, those folks don't want to put
America first. They don't want to sec you're all border, they don't want
us to be errangy independent, and they don't want us to rebuild our military
and stand as the world leader for freedom anymore. And it's very sad.
It makes me very angry. And the people of this country, I hope
and pray will make the right decision in twenty twenty four and put a leader
in place. It's going to do all those things. It's going to help
this nation survive. One of the one of the things that we see quite
often, and they're able to do it obviously due to having the largest population
of all the states, is California is able to both their population and their
economy to influence literally things that happen federally, what companies do. Right,
if they build a product, they cancel in California, they'll change it.
So how does North Carolina when you're sitting there and you're hearing, well,
let's talk about water heaters and gas stoves and all of this, how does
North Carolina flex in the same way that California is able to do from time
to time. I have to think we have some say here and we just
don't tend to use it. Well, that's part of the regal why it
is so important for us Casey to do what I've been talking about here now
for over the last year, we have got we have the capability now where
we're getting before two ten, Before two thousand and ten, we didn't have
the ability to grow our economy we do. Now we have the revenue,
we have the folks that want to come here and establish businesses. That's why
it's so important for us to grow our economy from Murphy the Manio now to
start that process and in earnest to become an absolute economic powerhouse. Once we
do that, South Carolina is in the process of doing that, Tennessee is
in the process of doing that. Virginia is trying to do that. The
states, Florida is doing that, these states that are run by strong conservatives.
We all need to get in to our states make sure that we grow
grow our economic engine so that we're powerhouses. We can start drawing that business
away from California. People can start looking to say, you know what,
California is not the only place to do business. It's not the biggest place
to do business. And I don't know if you notice, you're not casey,
but a lot of people are getting out of that state. And if
the state doesn't change course, I can see a time when people are going
to continue to abandon their massive numbers. There's plenty of space here in here
in North Carolina for people live. We welcome people to come here that are
going to continue to push for our good conservative ideals and keen to push for
the white things. But I think that is the answer by making sure that
we start this profit if now in earnest to grow our economies, grow our
economy from Murphy Demmanuel, start bringing those virgets and communities up, giving them
the infrastructure and things that they need to grow. And uh, I think
we can we can reverse that training and start making a statement out here on
the on the east coast and and down south, uh that we're an economic
powerhouse. And um, some of those rules to start changing, right.
But you've seen the impact when I when I first moved to Raleigh in Wake
County, they had most of the commissioners were Republican. They had a school
board that was actually Republican majority. And he you know, in ten years,
you're not We don't have Republicans now anywhere near the city center. There's
no commissioners. Um. So with with people moving here, it's it's it's
definitely changing the landscape of North Carolina. You know, I think it's a
it's a common and things. A lot of people are moving here now because
of our conservative values. Casing, they're moving here now because of the great
things. We're doing a lot of times though those local elections. What's happened
in cases we can't, We oftentimes forget about those local elections. You look
at the numbers on voting when it comes to local elections, the paltry numbers
on voting when it comes to local elections. The Left has put a great
deal of time and energy and money into local elections. They put a great
deal of time into distric attorney elections in local areas. They put a lot
of time in the sheriff's elections, they put a lot of times in a
lot of time into county commission and city council elections. And they've also put
a lot of the money into those things. Those things have been well funded
in many places, and they're doing they're doing a lot of damage to municipalities
because of it, Republicans have got to do a better job of getting involved
in those local elections, and to be quite frank, we all assistants have
to do a better job of voting in those local elections to make sure that
we're voting for people who are going to lead us to a place. It's
going to make our cities, on municipalities, our counties a better place.
All right, let me let me ask you the question that'll get you in
trouble, because I was. I was looking at USA today and they had
their big readers choice things, and they voted on the best fast food breakfast
in all of America and all of America, and the winner was Biscuitville,
And all right, well, but now there's people in the comments here in
North Carolina saying it's not even the best fast food breakfast in North Carolina.
I was thinking that Bojangles should have it. So are you Biscuitville or Bojangles
or something else? Well? I prefer my wife's cooking, quite honestly.
Are there are a couple of local mom and pop diamonds here in town that
I definitely prefer to the fast food? But Biskerville is very good, Biskaville
is very good. But both Angles is right there with him. So I
don't know if I could choose either one. If I had to choose one
of one or the other, I guess I would say it was the one
that was closest to me. As I was going down the highway hurriedly towards
my next destination, I'm not gonna pick. Come on, man real,
I'm definitely not. And honestly, I don't have a favorite between the two.
I don't. I mean, it just it just depends on location,
time and whatever whatever it may be. Both of those places to find restaurants,
uh, when that coop, when the food is cooked right at both
they're they're they're both pretty good. So it just depends on where I'm at,
what I'm doing, where I'm on my way too. So so you
said you got the wife in there first, and then you didn't choose between
the big two, And yeah, I got my wife's breakfast. I'll take
her breakfast over anybody. So then, like I said, got a couple
of local diners around here that we really love. Mom and pop places will
do a great job with breakfast, and we love those places. One last
thing and I'll let you get out of here. We have about a minute,
minute and a half. Um, what what is nat? What you
know? The governor is a lame duck governor. Obviously the general assemblies putting
the budget together. Are there any surprises that we may see or is this
just really Hey, you've heard everything that might come down the pipe. It's
just a matter of seeing what makes it into the budget or is there still
possibly some stuff coming that you guys have been talking about. I hope there
are no surprises in it, and the things I've been trying to keep a
breath of it as close as possible. They're working. They're working on those
things right now. I'm gonna be in Raleigh all day today, so I
should be able to have some pretty healthy discussions with some folks, uh to
to to get updated on the progress of the budget. And so I don't
think there's gonna be any surprises in it. But I was kind of surprised
by the Medica expansion thing, so we'll see, Casey. I have confidence
in those men and women that we have in the House in the Senate.
Uh. Certainly, they've done some things that I was against, but by
and large, UM, I have supreme confidence that they're going to pass the
budget. It's gonna be great for the people of North Carolina, and we're
gonna be able to move forward to get the best result out of everything that
they passed out of those chambers. Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor, thank you
for the time this morning. We'll talk sen Sor. Thank you. All
right, there you go, and we will take a break, but you're
right back. Hang on, brous This is one O six one FM Talk
in the Triangle and News Talk ninety four five WUPTI in the Tryad. All
right, welcome back to thirty five here on the Kcoday Radio program. Yeah,
so USA Today basically was doing their nest and this is best in the
nation and the best fast food breakfast in the nation, even though it's just
a regional chain Biscuit Bill. And then I see the comments from people who
are like, nah, bo Jingles is better. I don't know. I
guess can you like it? You can like them both, right, ross
Do you have a favorite? Or is it just a good morning when something's
coming from one or the other of those? Yeah, Like if I'm in
the studio and you bring one in, I'm like, it's a great day.
Doesn't matter. Now. See here's the problem. I can understand where
people would because the image is Biscuitville is a little higher quality, right,
cost a little more I think it is. Yeah, but I mean it's
if it's bowtime, it's bow time, and well I was just gonna say,
and but but bow rounds, right due, bow rounds are amazing.
Sometimes I go through and just get like they look at them like I'll have
like ten orders of bow rounds and they'll be like, what you like,
you want ten? I'm I no want like ten individual thing. I want
like forty yeah, yeah, I want I want the thing with the five
in it or whatever comes in it, and I want it at times ten.
So chop up. Yeah. See, Biscuitville doesn't have bow rounds,
man, Dude, they should merge. Oh that'd be amazing. But like
they have like the pimento cheese biscuit. Yeah, you know, bow Jangles
not doing that. So I'm gonna go with I like them both, but
they have that. The sausage is better at Biscuitville, but the bow rounds.
I keep coming back to the bow rounds. Man. Now, I
want food from both. If you want to weigh in, you can eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. And again that's the name.
That's the national thing too. So oh wait, Boston Paul doesn't understand
the assignment well about waffle House. Doesn't roussal waffle house guy. This is
fast food, Boston Paul, and waffle House is not considered fast food for
the purpose of this okay. I mean it's still damn fast though, Like
if you do like to go order, it'll be done in like five minutes.
Like I don't disagree at all, but mine just you know, it's
not technically a fast food restaurant. My one issue now with the waffle House,
and maybe it's not everyone, but at least the one in wake Forest
is if you walk in, you can't just make it to go order.
You have to do it on the app. Really, yeah, If you
walk in down and you're like, hey, I would like some food to
go, I'm on my way home. I want to take it home,
They're like they will look at you and be like, not possible. You
need to go out in your car, do it on the app. Order
on the app, and then we'll have it ready. You can't order at
the register. I've never yeah, I've never heard of ever since COVID.
At least that's how it is in wake Forest. It's awful. Oh is
it a COVID? Well, because I've been there before when I'm waiting to
pick my stuff up, and I've had seen people come in and they'll tell
them that behind the counter and they'll look at them like what, Like the
woman was like, what do each time? I'm right here, I want
to order. What's the difference if I do it here on the app?
I would just look at him like, I don't have a phone. They
don't care, they won't do it. Really, Yeah, I've seen it.
You go in and you got maybe maybe you got one of those big
button jitterbug phones that your grandkids got. It doesn't and there out of luck
what you're explaining exactly what I saw. It was an older woman she came
through. She had like one of those jitterbug phones, like the kind my
mom has, and she looked at the woman and looked at her phone and
said, what do you can't I just want to order food. I want
to take you home. So, like I guess you would sit down,
order your food. They'll bring it and then ask him to back it up.
Dude, I hope that's just that one. You know what I had,
I would have. I have a harder time believing it's all of them
because of the propensity of waffle housegoers to flip out and start fights with staff,
right, And I feel like if they just made that change and you
had frustrated people in there wanting to order food, and not wanting to do
it on an app like there'd be a lot more videos. But I don't
know. Maybe people are adapting to it, or maybe it's just that one
is that one really really busy all the time? Or I mean that all
the time. When I was in there and the woman came in and had
the issue, there was it was just me and the woman. I was
just waiting for my food. There was no one else there. They would
not do it. Yet another thing ruined. I had no idea. All
right, if you guys want to spy report too, is that is that
the deal? Now? I can't amain because I know that I know two
guys who go to the same waffle house for They've been going to the same
waffle house for basically the whole time I've been alive, and they go once
or twice a week, and they call it. They have a little cutesie
name before they called a meeting. I got invited to it. I'm like,
I'm good, But you guys have fun and they've been going to the
same one over and over and over it. If you've been doing that normally,
you get take out and then all of a sudden, one day they're
like, nah, I gotta put it in your phone. And you you
know, you've been doing business there for thirty years. I think people are
gonna get a little upset, but that's just me. All right, hold
on, what is this? Uh? Andrew? What's up? Yeah?
Hey, I was on my way to work. I was gonna fast through
breakfast. I won't weigh in on the biscugo versus jingle thing, but y'all
start talking about bow rounds and I'm salivating. So I literally just pulled off
all American Boulevard to get me something. All right, we'll get ten orders,
sir. That's where Ross's recommended a lotment, So yeah, got it
all right, all right, trying not to die. That's so they'd be.
I mean, they're greasy, but that's you know, that's what's so
good about them. But I you know, I don't even think when I
was young, I could, I could rock that many bow rounds, but
I would try. I was just dumb enough. Michelle, what's up?
Hey? I'm a biscuit mill girl, and it's because my dog gets a
free biscuit whenever I go there. I can say, Zoe, do you
want to get a biscuit? Ville, and she's all about going to biscuit
Ville. Well is it it's just a little dog biscuit. Uh No,
it's actually a biscuit and they put it in the it looks like a dog
bomb. It's really cute. If you have a dog, or if you
want to take my dog all it, let her go with you. Yeah,
and that's fine until your dog's two hundred pounds because everyone's you know,
he doesn't get the go all the time. Casey, it's just on special
occasion, right right, right, all right, all right, Well I'm
happy that your dog is happy and your team biscuit Bill, thank you very
much for the call. Okay, all right, this guy just email me.
Oh that's a good point, sir. Yep, yep, yeah,
Well he's screening a call. Tell them in a moment. Uh, somebody
just solved Ross's uh to go uh email or just solved your to go problem.
He said, walk in instead of walking into the register, sit at
the counter, order what you want, and then just walk out with the
plate. That's literally what I just said. Yeah, that's why I was
saying that. I took the time to email it to me and I wanted
to be well, thank you for that. It's a it's a great idea.
I couldn't have come open that myself. Appreciate it and get back to
the phones. Now I'm just messing with you, sir. Well I'm the
emailer. Let's see here, Gail, what's up? Hey, just find
the Let you know, I've not had the bow rounds before, but I
have had the biscuit Ville sausage balls and they are amazing. You never had
bow rounds at bow Jangles. Now we we always up for Biscuitville. You
need the sausage balls are only available on the catering. Then you gotta try
him. Uh, well I have had him. I was at a thing
where we had biscuit Vill catered. Um. But you know what you gotta
you gotta bucket list the bow rounds. I mean, just just try it,
Gail, make some changes, all right, maybe we'll get a shy
I'm just look, this is this is me helping you, and thank you
very much for calling. How do you there's a bow Angles every five feet.
Let's get raced agent from the weather channel. Um. Ever you ever
do bow Jangles or Biscuitville bow Jangles? Yes, only once or twice Biscuitville.
Yeah, I think they're only North Carolina Virginia, so gotcha, got
you? But yeah, you had you've done Bojangles. You have the biscuits
or the potato rounds in the morning. Life changing. I'll have to try
it next time on there I have not. How are there so many people
I've never had bow rounds? I feel so bad for all of you.
But well, now it's gonna put It's gonna go on my to do list.
The bow rounds are a game changer if you've never had them before.
They're they're oh, they're incredible. So you would go just for those and
then I pick up the chicken biscuits or something. No, ross just he's
just just he gets a big like the KFC style bucket, but it's full
of bow I have. I've done it nice. I'm gonna have to look
for that. I will pop on if you're headed out to the Gett some
bow rounds for sure. Buttle w. Yeah, it's a little warm again,
Yeah, mid upper eighties. A little cloud, but it's been high
level cloud today. If mostly sunny works for you, that sun might appear
a little bit milky at times, but it's dry. Same thing tomorrow,
partial sunshines, probably more clouds in tomorrow. Mid sixties in the morning,
mid eighties in the afternoon, and then I'll get a little wet as we
go through Thursday night and Friday, some showers, thunder showers with a complex
coming out of the Northwest, and those showers and that rain will come on
through. Pretty decent chances too, especially on Friday. I've seen some showers
and maybe thunderstorms, which with the clouds it added preset, may hold us
in the middle to maybe upper seventies, so we might not hit eighty degrees
on our first Friday in August. We'll warm it up quickly over the weekend
with the dry weather returning mid's upper eighties. Triangle may hit ninety degrees,
especially on Sunday, so the humidity will start coming back a bit, and
it looks like that's going to continue into next week with some warmer weather.
So we get this little breaks. Actually it hasn't been bad a few days,
and then whether we'll come back then after that the weekend dry but a
little more humid, and we'll throw a little more he on the atmosphere too.
All right, I appreciate it and we'll chat tomorrow, sir. All
right, all right, coming back with Jeff Bellinger. Oh now, people
are giving me waffle house to go order spy reports and oh no, I'll
give you the details of those as well. Coming up. Hang on smart
talk all day, four five WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM
Talk in the Triangle. It's eight fifty two. You're Bloomberg up thick now
with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's going on? Well, good morning,
Casey. The Fitch decision to downgrade the US credit rating likely set the stage
for a rough opening on Wall Street. Treasury Secretary Janet Yelling another Biden administration
officials pushed back hard on that downgrade. Fitch said the recent fight over the
debt ceiling was among the factors that led to its decision. Stock market futures
have been pointing lower all morning. Dow futures are down one hundred forty seven
points at the moment. Private employers continue to hire. Last month, ADP
reported companies added three hundred twenty four thousand workers to their payrolls in July.
Job growth much stronger than expected. Most of the positions were as you might
expect. In service providing industries. Mortgage infestrates went up last week. The
average int restraint on a thirty year fixed rate home loan is getting close to
seven percent six point nine three percent to be precise, and that's putting a
damper on home loan demand. Mortgage bankers report application volume fell to the lowest
level in two months. We can't keep spending like its twenty twenty one.
A new report out today from the Brookings Institution says consumers will have to slow
their buying soon because many people are close to running out of cash. The
combination of lockdowns and government stimulus boosted Americans wealth during the pandemic. Much of
that wealth has since dissipated. Analyst at Brookings say households will run into financial
trouble if they sustain their current spending trends. Amazon dot Com is revamping its
grocery business. The online retail giant says this is the biggest overhaul since it
bought Whole Food six years ago. Supermarket operations from Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh,
and Amazon dot Com will be merged into a single online cart. Amazon
is testing some new highly automated warehouses, and for the first time, Fresh
Food delivery will be available to customers who are not Prime members. And Casey,
we know now that nobody won the big Mega millions jackpot last night,
but don't toss your ticket. If there's a Crispy Cream shop along your route
to work this morning, the chain is offering a free donut to anyone who
comes in today with a losing lottery ticket. Casey, Okay, all right,
Well we were just talking about breakfast stuff anyway, so that'll be a
third option. Thank you very much, and we'll talk tomorrow. Sounds good.
Have a good day, all right, There you go, Jeff Ollinger,
Bloomberg News. So it ain't bow rounds, but it is. It
is a donut, soot that going for you. Speaking of Virginia, where
North Carolina, Virginia was mentioned with the Biscuitville in Virginia, a rather interesting
ruling from a judge evaluating how the University of Virginia Health System dealt with a
woman who chose not to take the COVID vaccine. She had gone through the
process of applying for religious exemption. She included letters from her of her pastor,
and feasibly should have met the met the requirements. However, the Healthcare
system ignored that and didn't even respond to her and allow her to argue her
case. They simply denied it and she was let go. And now District
Judge Claude whirl has ruled the UVA Health System wrongfully terminated Casey McCoy using what
are the legal terms, she arbitrary and capricious and those things. And she's
going to get back pay and her job back if she wants it, So
they're gonna have to pay her for the moment they did it. The sheer
volume of people that just chose to ignore the religious exemptions or health exemptions and
never really address it, right, whether it was in public settings where somebody
had a strong emphysema, right, and then they would be like, well,
my doctor literally told me not to wear this wear a mask. You
were not allowed to say that. And the amount of people who had their
religious exemptions just ignored is more than just this one woman. And it's going
to be very interesting as judges and cases move forward what that's gonna look like,
because, yeah, he says the UVA acted in an arbitrary and capricious
manner. The amount of companies and lawmakers, frankly that we're willing to even
entertain the idea of a religious exemption. They put it in there because they
legally had to, because they didn't want challenges on government and religion stuff.
And then the trick was then they just didn't give it to anybody. What
what? What was? There was one company that they gave zero out of
like two hundred applications or something. Maybe it was like one and I don't
even remember what trigger did. So if if now you've got some case law
up in Virginia, and this has to do obviously with a quasi public university,
it's going to be very interesting as as people move forward on this,
because there's a bunch of other lawsuits. She's just the first. And look
how how long it took to adjudicate this. Let's see here first liberty counsel
was I guess helping her in her case. They say it's an important victory
for religious liberty and for those who have not caved into unlawful shot mandates.
Yeah, and it might be quite profitable for some folks who if they did
lose, now we're gonna get if this, if they get a similar ruling,
they're gonna get basically what two years of pay. When was she How
long was she out? Almost two years? Yeah, it's a fat check
and some of it could cost some of these outfits some serious cash. So
little good news to round out the show today. It's Wednesday, so uh
got some food discussion, got a little of this, a little of that.
Um crap, I'm not gonna I'm sorry, I'm not gonna be able
to get to what's the best bow jngle item that I'm not gonna able to
get to Will's call? What was it? He was going to say?
Oh, okay, all right, my bad. I'm sorry, guys,
I got on the whole UV eight thing, but I suck. I'll try
harder tomorrow and then maybe even Friday. So make sure you join us then
and follow us on Twitter at Casey on the Radio where we post out all
these little goodies we're chatting about as we roll through at Casey on the Radio
