Have you ever been You ever been to a point where you're like, I
am so lost, I'm gonna have to just get some sticks, build a
lean to and start over here. All right, maybe you haven't been that
lost, but there was a moment yesterday. I gotta tell you. I
I don't often get to all of the little parts of our listening area.
I shouldn't say little. Obviously, we cover between the Try and the Triangle
a big chunk of space. But yesterday I was running around. I was
doing I had some various client meetings. Right. So, one's in North
Hills, that's pretty easy, it's pretty near the station. One's up on
ligand Mill as you're headed up towards wake Forest, and the other one is
off of Calvin Jones. Okay, And I have to admit it's been a
while since I've been that far north in the in the area of wake Forest,
other than on just you know, Highway one going places. So I
go to this, I go to this meeting whatever, and I'm like,
I want some lunch, and I remember there's a little there's a deli up
in Youngsville, and I'm far enough north and I remember that the last I
ate a sandwich there one time it was pretty good, and so I was
going to go up to that deli, and so I put it in the
old you know, it's got Navi Geishen in there, clicking in the navigation,
and rather than running me all the way up to one, it starts
turning me northward through these neighborhoods. And I know about traditions and all that
area up there. I was in there for like fifteen minutes before I ever
hit anything that didn't look like one of the homes and the traditions thing,
and it was like this old, historical little neighborhood jammed in the middle there,
and then it's just more of that build out ross. I swear that
area north of you is bigger than any city in Wyoming. I told you,
I hate to say, it told you so, what it told you
so? And like it's it's massive construction and apartment companies everywhere. Yeah,
they're still building away many every like three blocks there's a construction crew doing something.
Even on Liggoland Mill, they're widening it over there. Yeah. The
wake forest you knew even like five years ago, doesn't exist anymore. It
is nothing. It's not there. I like The only time I ever really
get that far north over there is like we had it, They'll be like
a meat there's like a media golf thing that happens. It has a Hasten
tree, Hassan tree or whatever. But that's not even over there. That's
kind of you know, that's west of there. And I just go up
Highway one for that. That's easy enough. But that explains why Capital and
then Highway one North is such a nightmare at at around five o'clock, just
brutal. And then when I do go up to wake Forest or like,
you don't live that far north, so I'm you know, I'm basically concentrated
into the downtown area of wake Forest. If I if I, for whatever
reason, was to go near where you are, I did not swing by
to see the monstrosity blodding out your son though, because I was kind of
over on the other side. But I was curious, son. They're really
nice. They're starting really low two in the four hundreds, so that's great
for four hundred thousand. Yeah, you can look at your back patio and
see my property. So right, with the Henge, I hate you all
so much. With the hene Henge. Did do you want to Henge View
or a road view. I would think, I think you think you want
the Henge View until there's some weird ceremony going on over there, and it's
just like you can't blot it out. But yeah, man, oh,
I had no idea what was going on up there. Raleigh never made sense
to me in where they do choose to build out and where they don't even
going back, you know, a decade or something to go. And they
got they got a couple of things working out working against them to try to
get an even spacing of everything, right, because you have the state park
going up Glenwood there, and so you have this huge slice of what you
would call the pie where you can't build anything. And then if you go
south of town like five minutes, all that land is owned by NC State
for their agricultural stuff, so it's not developable. Although that's a problem.
I wonder if they're gonna run like in Minneapolis, they ran into that with
the University of Minnesota, and the state came in and found new land for
him and kind of forced their hand to sell their agg property, which turned
into some southern suburbs there. But but yeah, and then for whatever reason,
Nightdale doesn't seem as expansive as it could be for the distance. But
no, you're getting all the houses. Man. Did you drive further down
Calvin Jones to where like PDQ was or is? On the way back?
I cut by there, but I know where it is. I've been over
there. Did they Did you see all that construction? Like I was so
overwhelmed with construction. I don't know if it stood out initially, is it
really? Oh? Yeah, you'd notice, okay now, because I was
coming west on Calvin Jones from you know, over on the Rollsville side,
and I turned right up into Traditions and then that was it. Yeah,
I remember how they used to be like PDQ in the ale House. Yeah,
and then a little and they had like there's a haircut place there too,
Lady James. Yeah, it's expanded a bit, a little bit,
just a little like they added another outbuilding maybe at Applebee's or something a little
more than the okay too. So I just have no reason to drive up
there. But I had only crap. I had no idea. And it's
not just there. There's a couple of parts of Greensboro that are that.
Every time I go and do a visit over there. It's just crazy,
man. But that wake forth, they're gonna have to do something because by
the time I ended up heading down because I stopped and saw a buddy when
I was up there. So by the time I'm headed south on one back
into Raleigh, there is it's right, it's you know, it's around four
thirty and it looks like it's just a parking lot headed north. So holy
cal all right, anyway, sorry, I know for a lot of you,
you're like, we live up there, we know, yeah, but
you have a four hundred thousand dollars apartment overlooking Ross's Henge. I bet you
don't, dude, you got a really red knock up your yard, remember
that guy who had the house and Kerry. I've already started. I've already
started because before you know, I try to at least sort of maintain it.
Right right now, I'm like, screw you people. You gotta get
a burn barrel out here. Yeah, right, you know it's gonna make
a ford of tires a tire fords. Oh tire fords are good, yeah,
and you can then burn those. It's at certain points, oh well
you have to. Yeah, people love that. Why would you have the
tires if you're not going to burn them. So if if everybody got a
busted car, you could have like I'd take several yeah no, and you
stack them right yeah yeah, yeah yeah, I'd be amazing. And that's
where you get the tires. Right next to the hinge in my backyard will
be the car hinge. Oh wow, that's like the biggest ball of twine.
Tourists will want to come see that. It's like the Boone, big
beer, big beer boon, except this will be real exactly. No.
Yeah, oh that's on record. That's on record. I mean I'm saying
the car hinge wouldn't be real. Oh oh, because he because you need
to get you know, like you need to get like the paperwork and all
that sort of. I'm not one for paperwork, dude. If it's a
good Redneck yard, you don't need paperwork. Isn't that why you'd never really
technically run for sheriff because paperwork? Yeah, because this country wasn't built on
paperwork, not at all. Isn't founded on paperwork. And we're in sheer
will and determination as Hayes for sheer and throwing and throwing off throwing an overthrowing
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham. Correct, we don't know which
Abraham, but one of them. My goal is, seriously, I want
to make my yard. So when somebody moves in or like they're taking a
tour of these four hundred thousand dollars monstrosity apartments that destroyed my neighborhood in my
block, to go out there and be like, oh, this is so
nice, and then they look at the back wind and they go nope.
You know, they'd be like they'd be like illegal immigrants coming in and now
refusing to go to La telling nah Man, we want Martha's vineyard, dude.
The high cost of living, coupled with criminal criminal activity concerns, has
for the first time knocked the Los Angeles area off of the preferred resettlement locations
of illegal immigrants coming into the United States. You're coming from. Cut your
head off of Mexico, right, Sanda Capitano, which you know what that
sounds like a wonderful Mexican vacation destination, Sanda Capitano. Ross, you guys
want to go into Sanda Capitano. I'll get you guys some tickets. Everybody
goes to Cancun. It's way too busy. So people are leaving Mexico from
you know, Sanda Capitano and coming up to America and they're like, I
don't want to live in La. It's too dangerous. Craziness. Man.
Among the destinations most requested if if given a choice seen it do still include
California's Central Valley, Washington, and Nevada due to the cost of living.
Uh, the you know, I guess, the lesser crime rates and the
availability of agricultural work. But Los Angeles proper, not so much. They've
seen at forty five percent decrease in the number of folks who are arriving who
want anything to do with greater La, dude, And they probably have relatives
in many cases, right, and they still don't want to go there,
just you know, just out of sheer, you know, the volume of
others who have come come here across the border just being really located in that
area. All told, border patrol continues to arrest a total of one hundred
and seventy seven thousand said migrants per month at the Mexican border, of which
the majority are then resettled awaiting court dates. Now, if you go to
other countries. You mentioned Martha's Vineyard. There's really the only group that really
wants anything to do with the greater Northeast there is Venezuelan migrants, because there
is a big Venezuelan population in the New York area. Let's see, and
uh, Dominican immigrants. So though the majority though Miami remains number one for
most immigrants not coming not coming from a fixed continental country, but rather any
of the island nations. Well, Venezuelan is a fit. Well, I
guess technically they already said New York there, so yeah, there you go.
They didn't want anything to do with that, all right. Coming up
on the show, the greatest self owned via journalist I've seen in a long
time. So let me give you that. Let me give you the background
real quick. So this journalist is wanting to test the discrimination that may be
happening to people who are immigrating from countries that would have unusual names where the
government is rejecting them even you know, because they're super bigots and they just
don't understand. Right, However, will they will still limit names for you
know, you can't like name your kid Hitler in some instances, right,
And so what does she do. So this genius reporter from ABC decides when
her baby's born, she's going to give him a wildly offensive name I guess
in the eye of the beholder, and she wanted to see if it would
get through because it wasn't a you know, a Muslim name, which is
I think the crux of what she's trying to prove, so that she can
go why would you allow this? But then you wouldn't allow this traditional Muslim
name just because you didn't understand it, because you're a bunch of bigots.
The problem was they didn't reject the name. So her kid is now this
name? What is that name? I will tell you when we return on
the case O Day radio program, keeping you connected. This is ninety four
five WPTI in the Triad and one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, welcome back into six twenty five. So journalists kursed in
Drysdale decided to test the policies of the folks who handle I guess the birth
birth registry. Just to be clear, this is this is Australia. So
ABC is the Australian Broadcasting Company, which is kind of like their PBS.
Okay, they're public right, so anyway, so she works for the one
of the news programs there. She decides she's going to test this because there's
been concerns that when they do enforce the restriction where they're able to. The
way it works is you submit your baby name and you can submit an alternative
with it. If they reject the one and then reject the alternative, they
will literally name your baby for you. And the problem is is she suspects
that there's some bigotry of foot because if you're a white Australian and you want
to name your kids something crazy, they'll let it go with a few exceptions.
But if you are somebody from a four in country and the name is
is highly unusual but would still be within I guess the normal range from that
other country, that people are discriminating against those those immigrants. So she tries
to pick a name, thinking, okay, well they'll have to reject this,
but maybe they won't, and she I guess she never thought about what
would happen if they didn't and they didn't. So, following the birth of
her third son, as part of this story endeavor, she submitted and was
approved for the child's new name the child's name methn Fhetamine rules. Your kid
now your kid's day met the pettabe rules. Lady, it's your kid's your
own kid. Make up a fake kid, right, do your little undercover
thing? You named your actual kid meth then fetamine rules. What are you
gonna do now, little methy? I mean, do you come up with
a nickname? And what if he gets famous? What if he could play
cricket or wicket or what you know whatever. It's one of the stupid games
that don't understand where they're like, oh, we're gonna have a match or
a test and it's gonna last three days, and for three days on the
TV it's met. Then fetamine rules. Up to tossa googly ball or one
oh six one FM Talk and ninety four five w PTI, two stations driving
the best in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News.
All right, welcome back, six thirty five. You're on the case Day
Radio program. Good on the organizers of the Raleigh Christmas Parade, by the
way, pushing back on this insanity from the city. So if you remember,
it was the end of last week the city decided, Hey, you
know what, you don't need a Christmas parade, screw you. We'll do
holiday activities. Yeah, yeah, no, we know we issued other parade
things, and other parades have happened since the tragedy that happened last Christmas parade.
And then we're gonna kind of intimate that maybe the parents didn't want it,
so they look like the bad guys here and it's just garbage, just
garbage, people shifting the blame to everyone but themselves. You made a decision,
stick with it. Well then they said, hey, well all right,
maybe we'll let you do it because people were outraged, rightfully so,
but you can't have any motorized anything. And initially I think the Merchant Association
was gonna agree to that, but like we said on the radiot, don't
give these people an out for their poor decisions. Make them suffocate or suffer
the consequences of their actions. Don't agree to this. Well, thank god
somebody listened, because the Greater Rally Merchant Association has presented a new pushback proposal
that would allow this and with a list of safety regulations, which, by
the way, is what the family of the little girl who was killed asked
for and specifically said they didn't want the parade canceled. You can't do a
parade without some motorized something. You gotta pull, you gotta pull, you
gotta have floats, you need to be able to transport. You know it
was there was a situation. I won't give you all the details on it,
but if if the person wants to have invited her to come on and
talk about it. Or you have these kids who are literally dealing with horrible
circumstances, whether it's physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, their parents. They're what
who get to ride in the parade and it's the greatest thing that's happened to
them that year, a year full of horribleness, and the city of Raleigh
doesn't want to let them have that opportunity. Some of these kids can't walk
and by if they had a motorized wheelchair, that would be a violation of
the stupid thing that they're proposing. And they're gonna get tut now. I'm
sorry, you can't do the parade this year. You can't for a moment
in all of the crap that you're dealing with, be the center of attention
kind of and and throw candy or wave to people. Or realize your Christmas
dreams because we're sitting here and playing games. Don't let these people off the
hook for a moment. Let them explain to some kid whose parents are dead
why he can't go in the Christmas parade this year? Okay, and film
it and put it online. Put it online of the mayor of Raleigh telling
some kids who's known nothing but tragedy and heartache this year and perhaps maybe even
for the totality of his life, that he can't he can't do the Christmas
parade because he's not physically able to sit there and strut down the parade route.
Make him tell him to their face, bring him over to the city
council meeting. Let them scurry into the back room like a bunch of cowards.
I'm just so sick of this that we're having to sit here and negotiate
this out. Sorry, just very just bothered me immensely this morning. All
right, let me grab a call here, Chris, Chris, what's up.
It's a good morning. Thanks for taking my calls early. I just
wanted to say, you guys almost nailed it again. There's a place in
Cali called San Juan Capistrano, so they could put the Decapistrano there. I
am aware that I was inspired by San Juan Capistrano, which, by the
way, they have a bunch of birds that come to the Spanish mission there
and it's kind of a big deal, which is why people. Yeah,
but yeah, san Juan de Capitano is not I did not booger hole it
again, I want to. I just wanted to throw that out there on
it. But yeah, you know, and that that Raleigh Mare's too busy
drinking with Beth Woods to make any good decisions. So you know, this
is an easy this is an easy one to let it. Look, Chris,
Christmas season is about is about things like peace and love and joy and
even forgiveness. Obviously, would you consider what the season is about from a
religious standpoint and what that brought about, you know what I'm saying, So
I hear you. Thanks for the call the Americans say. Look, I
misread the room. I thought I was trying to do something to save you
know, this, this family from having to sit there and see the parade
advertisements and perhaps the parade on TV or hear about it and and relive the
tragedy that they themselves are dealing with. But maybe I should have reached out,
And yes, I agree with the family that we can do things to
make this a safer environment. Let me get with the organizers of the parade
and explain what it is that you think we should be doing. We've we've
already enacted these and other parade permittings that we've done this year, and this
is how we're going to do it, and every it's going to be a
great parade. You say that I can't sit here and yell at you on
the radio. I got I got, I got nothing. I got nothing
to chew on at that point, and neither will anybody else, and you'll
look like a decent human being. But instead, no, you're like death.
Screw them kids. You know it's that Michael Jordan meme. You don't
know what I'm talking about where it just says, f them kids. What
a perfect meme use possibility right here? This is it. Yes, I'm
aware of the Shriners, but you know what, I'm gonna hang my hat
on kids because I don't know if you know there's kids, they're big fans
of Christmas. I wish, I wish to this day I could carry the
same level of excitement for Christmas that I did when I was eight? Can
you imagine? Can you? Can you imagine how if you as an adult
And I know there's some of you that go a little Clark Griswold crazy over
this, but admittedly it's still not like when you were eight, is it?
That's that's what's soll of you, all of your kids. You want
to get older faster. There's reason one thousand and six sucks. Okay,
you gotta have a job and take care of yourself, but read the reason
one thousand and six. Christmas will never feel like it feels for you right
now, never gonna feel the same. So I just caught ross. Do
you think you think you could ever? And maybe it's maybe because you have
a kid, you get a little more, a bigger slice of it than
I do. But and I also have a kid who's always kind of gonna
sort of be like a kid in some respects because of his special needs and
autism. So like Lincoln is in sixth grade, however, in a lot
of respects, he's still like, you know, a younger kid, right
right, So I mean we haven't had you know, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's still very magical for him,
but it's still I'm not gonna take that away from him. I'm not a
monster, you insane, but free. I'm not like the mayor here,
you know, to the woman with the cauldron. Yeah, yeah, I'm
not a grinch. I don't have that. It's not you know, I'm
not a horrible person, is what I'm saying. I make jokes about like
gill netting your kids and transporting them under for twenty five dollars ransoms and all
that, and get off my I can't imagine sitting there and doing that to
a kid. I don't want to tell a kid no, unless they're being
a brat, then I'll tell him no. But like, if I don't
want some kid is just like, oh, I'm just gonna be amazing.
I don't want to be that guy. I couldn't be that guy. Just
imagine, though, Imagine you are the mayor. You're in that position,
and it comes across your desk case should we cancel the Christmas parade? You
stamp? Yes, yes, what kind of a dark, empty soul do
you have? Well I would blame it on you, of course, because
you want to shift the blame. I'd be like, I want to I
blame it on the family who had the tragedy. Yeah yeah, yeah,
oh really, Okay, that's good. That sounds like a good scapegoat there,
and what you should definitely do. How about your blame it on your
staff? Oh? Anybody but myself? Right, Yeah, I'm a racy,
dark you know, sould narcissist. I have no you know, I
have no soul. It's ye void. Oh wow, that's the next time.
I definitely the next time I'm in the ballot booth, you know,
and about to pull that lever. What I would think about is which one
of these candidates did not cancel the Christmas parade? Yeah? What? Who
did crush us six year old? It should have never been like, it
should have never happened. You need to apologize and you need to be like,
my bad, we're gonna have it, and it's such a bad move,
But it is unless there's no responsibility that that's carried with you forward for
it. If you think you're untouchable, right, So yeah, it's a
good point. If you think you're untouchable, that's why you do stuff like
this. He came out and you're like, listen, I worship the dark
Lord and we're not gonna have Christmas. Yes, it's not gonna do it,
but we can if you want, we can all meet down at front
of city Hall and we can. You know, we're black robes as you
do in front of my cauldron, and we can do that because we worship
the dark Lord. Uh huh huh. It's bad news for that goat.
By the way, vote for me. Yeah, bring your own chicken talents.
Oh yeah, absolutely. One thing I'm not for is government subsidized chicken
talents. No, no, this is why you're allowed to have chickens.
You rale and raise chickens and city limits. You notice she didn't want to
go along with that. So I can have roosters in my neighborhood. That's
fine on a Saturday morning and the one time I get to sleep in everyone's
good with that. Just awful, just so awful. So off. You
know what we need? You know what we need. We need the Disney
Bear. We need the Disney Bear. Drop it off at city Hall.
Let us bring about his Disney magic. Do you guys know about the Disney
Bear? Apparently talking he must be talking about you're talking about Disney talking about
frontier Land in the jamboree, the bear jamboree thing. No, I'm not,
but maybe that's he was going. I don't know, I don't know.
If you don't know about the Disney Bear, will tell you about the
Disney Bear. Okay, And are you a journalist who I've made fun of
here on the radio. You could get paid and I'll have to be the
one. Well, we'll all be doing the pay in Oh yeah, wait
for this coming up case O Day radio program show. After the show is
on the iHeart radio app. Search case O Day for the podcast on the
iHeart Radio app. I'm gonna read I'm gonna read something to you because this
was publicly posted, so this is this is something I can share with you.
And this was a This was a person who works with these special special
special needs kids, but I mean kids who are who need all of the
help that they can get. Who was communicating to the parade organizers who wrote
to tell the story of one of the kids, who was a little boy
who lost both of his parents in twenty nineteen twenty excuse me twenty twenty and
as a result changed he had lost all hope, all joy and stopped speaking.
He struggled at school. However, he was asked to participate in the
twenty twenty one Christmas parade. Would I guess I'd have to be twenty twenty
two, right, Well, anyway, he was asked to participate in the
Christmas parade as a member of our school. So I'm assuming this is a
special school. I wonder if it's Frankie Lemon or one of those. But
but anyway, and was who got to ride on the float and this child
who had not spoke in a year came alive, smiled for the first time
in the year, and spoke for the first time as he was aboard,
waving to the crowd, finding for a moment happiness, life and joy.
The magic of riding on that float that day and the crowd waving gave he
and his grandmother, who now raises him hope. The only thing that got
him through it was knowing that once again he'd get to ride on that same
float during the parade. But no parade. I mean, I believe it.
A lot of these kids, right, like the world is so chaotic,
they look forward to these traditions and like these rituals because it's some semblance
of normality or yah didn't look forward to. So I completely believe that.
And but no, and I said, some people that wrote me, they
said that they actually reached out to the Mayor's I didn't even get an answer.
She gotta do is you gotta show up at one of her campaign events.
In fact, I have a I have a list here of the campaign
events. This Saturday, she'll be at Ben and Jerry's in North Hill slapping
cones out of hands. That's a good one. Should go up to that
one. If you can't make that. Next week she'll be at Frankie's Fun
Park throwing the master power switch to the off position. It's like a ribbon
cutting but different. So that's a thing. And then if you can't,
the following week and you'll find her at the bouncy place. What is that
monkey Joe's stealing all the springs of the trampolines and deflating the inflatable stuff.
So that should be a longer event because there's a lot of them there.
And then maybe just look, you know, maybe just you know, say
something to her at one of those fine campaign events or an opportunity. Ross
you were saying, there's an opportunity. She may swing by your house right,
that's what I was hearing. Yeah, you know, because you hear
these tragic stories of like people, you know, they being attacked by dogs
and stuff, what kind of dogs, like pitpoles and stuff like that.
Poles. Here's is fine. Yeah, there's no half measures here. They
need to get rid of all the dogs. Yeah, that's a good story.
Son happen again. So the mayor is gonna be showing up at your
door for the big euthanization. Yeah, but but she's not going to do
it herself. Yeah, so she's gonna have you do it old yellow style
to make sure, you know, because we can't endanger the children. Right.
So the the end, So the big dog puppy purge is I think
what they're calling it, where they show up at your house and at the
barrel of a gun. As government does usually accomplish anything, they force you
to euthanize your own dog for the children, for the kids, for the
safety, you know, I understand. So, uh, you know,
don't miss any of those scooter or what's up? Yeah, so that was
a very touching writer man. Yeah, but uh yeah, I've got it,
got a solution. So we'll get all the welders and fabricators out there
and we change to flow pulled by horse and then uh just don't clean up
after the horses and uh leave for the city. Well yeah, or the
sometimes they have the little clowns on scooters. But you can't have scooters,
I don't. Yeah, or you can have you can have the kids or
someone else volume and haven't dressed. Uh got and chogas? But what are
the other people that didn't watch? Was back then? Where just a cloth?
Okay? I think they were pancilst sir. Yeah, oh yeah.
It was just like, wasn't it. Yeah, loincloths? Yes, yes,
yes, yes, there's some loin cloths or something like that. All
right, all right, well we'll look into it. Thank you for the
Calder scooter ross. Did you see this puppy Apparently the puppy perch such a
such a success. The kitten callings this weekend, same deal. I mean,
you can't trust those things when you sleep, except they just show up
with burr lap sacks and and it's off to the nearest creek. So for
the kids. All right, seven h seven, Good morning. It is
the case O Day Radio program. Glad to have you a long phone number
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So we've been losing
our minds this morning over this since and I'm sorry, I don't have kids.
And even when the parade's going on, I'm like, there's a mild
like, ah, I have to wait through all this to get over to
get my bloody marry and watch football what's going on. But I don't care
who you are, man, I don't care who you are. And just
because you can remember how ampty were when you were a kid, even if
you had a really rough go of it, and maybe Christmas wasn't what it
was or whatever holiday did you you associate with with with happiness and gathering together
with family and food and and all of that, that level of excitement.
I'm a little depressed knowing I may never achieve it again as an adult,
But I wouldn't rob anyone of that excitement, you know what I'm saying.
And I can get it. I can understand it. As so as we
sit here and there is this, you know, the city realizes they screwed
up. The mayor realizes she looks like a giant grinch ogre, and she
wants to do this like you know, because she's some magnanimous creature, emphasis
on creature and no, no, the parade organizers need to be like,
no, we're not playing this game. You put out permit it's not like
you stopped all parades. You put out permits, you let people use floats.
When I got well, I gotta read the story as some kid who
literally went mute and lost all hope due to a tragedy that struck and took
both his parents from him, who only was able to turn it around,
even if just for a little bit, by being able to participate in this
event that the majority of people want. And you want to negotiate that away,
screw you. We're not gonna do it. And the Merchant's Association shouldn't
agree to this madness either. If it means there is no parade, let
the blame of that fall squarely on the shoulders of the people who made that
decision. Let them take the rap for it, Do not give them an
out. It sounds like from what I what I've seen and the people I've
talked to behind the scenes, that the group that puts this parade on and
I don't speak for them, but it's my understanding that the safety measures that
the family of this girl who lost her life last year, are asking for
this family that was in a way shouldered with the blame even you know,
within the court of public opinion for the idea that the parade could be canceled
because nobody wanted to own their own their own decisions. If if there is
a group, if there is a list of safety concerns that they have,
and this group that puts the parade on is willing to abide and address those,
then everyone should be good to go. And it's my understanding that they
are. Again I don't speak for him, and maybe I'm missing something here,
but at the very least they've agreed to the majority of them by this
proposal that they've put back. Why are we having this conversation because a certain
person's ego won't allow them to let this go for imagine being the people the
person rooting for the wet bandits. Okay, that's who you are. You're
that You're that person that rooted when the Grinch took all the presence. Good,
good glad he got him. Awful, just awful. Jamal, Hello,
you know what, Casey, Good morning, Casey, good morning.
You know what, Casey, I'm a hole in this man, we don't
know how much kids. We don't celebrate Christmas. However, there ben not
be a June teenth parade, and every better not be a gay parade.
If those citizens in Raleigh, if those Christmas in Raleigh do not go down
there and make their presence and voice her and get a lawyer and say you're
better than I had at nasty waggony June tenth parade, and you're better than
I had at perverted gay parade, because we will suit you for discrimination.
And you know what, if I'm sick and tired of our representatives, don't
step in and start doing something. We don't want this antim and we let
even manage your government. This is when we need to have our people.
I let the state and say, you know what, we need anti political
discrimination because what this is? This woman I'm running on diversity inclusion. Well,
how come you've in order to be diverse and inclusive, you got to
outlaw those things that Americans have celebrated for years for diversity of inclusion. If
that's diversity inclusion, keep it. We don't wanted. So do they think
wait, wait, wait, do you think that they think that it's nothing
but white people go to that parade. Because I've been down to that parade.
It's I'm almost it ain't all white people. I don't know. I
don't know if they're familiar. If Jamal, there's many, Jamal, I
know you and your family don't. But I have to think the majority of
black citizens to celebrate Christmas in the city of Raleigh. Yes, But you
know what, Casey, the problem is, and I've said this for years,
my community don't step up and speak out unless white liberals to give them
the a ok to speak out against it. Because every Christian a matter of
fact, why won't they hook some other that big fat Ryan Jerry Carrol when
it's so called preacher William Bob. He can pull the fluke, he can
pull eight of them. Do you want a big old Oregon trail wagon yoke
on him? I mean, what do you add you can't even here?
Well, you know, pull him one of them more harnesses. They used
to pull the music of the God, old good music and pull. They
don't think if you hang a carrot out on a stick in front of him,
he's gonna pull crap. You know what I'm saying. Oh No,
you need a whole buffet line you need because he's a buffet slayer, golden
korad he walking golden Kay start crying, You'll put your whole buffet line in
front of him and be like there you go. He'll pull there, He'll
pull every fruit. But Casey, I'm just saying this. The Christmas is
the Christmas and Wiley. You know all these churches that have a pride Polly
they said, the pride you know flag, We're inclusive. Where are they
you all talk about they talk about they're so inclusive, but everything that quote
unquote patriarchal, traditional Christian stuff they attacked. This woman needs to be sued
and I mean sued. And and if they try to have a gay trife
parade or June tweenth parade, that be not be one float, that ben
not be one vehicle. And if they haven't turn aloud and see her again,
because it has to stop the people in Riley. You know what,
everybody didn't vote for this nutcase's diversity queen. Nobody, everybody didn't vote for
her. But you know what, just because you didn't vote for her don't
mean you have to be under the rule of her diversity, which is at
diversity inclusive, which discriminatory towards Christians and conservatives rules you can push back against
her, and I'm pretty sure it's so it's a law Jan Roley that wants
this type of it exposure so he can see her so so conservative to start
coming up even if he's not or she couldn't hear you not, they at
least get some you know, conservatives and Christians that comes to head with ties
of it. The people have to stand up. Why why tell me right
now? Why is it so easy to call in right out in the station?
Where? What are the people right now? In a while? It's
who are sick? Man? What? Letslin just calling me in right now
saying, hey, Ksey, this is a district. I don't know,
I don't know what power they would necessarily have. I guess is perhaps the
reason. And they probably don't want to call in because I'm gonna ask them
why they gave all of the things that they wanted away and they're still going
to expand Medicaid. That's that's what they need to be answering for today.
But that's another story entirely. All right, Jamal, thanks for the call
this morning. Okay, all right, Yeah, all right, yeah,
yeah, they don't. They don't want me to ask that. We will
have a lieutenant governor at eight oh five though, right, I know it's
not under his purview, but I'll be curious his thoughts on this. Oh
look at that. She just added two more h two more campaign events coming
up. One the removal of all the t ball ts. Yeah, I
get rid of them. You know, kids swinging bats very dangerous. And
uh, the outlawn of pools. No more pools for you know, sometimes
kids drowned ross. Have you heard this? So you've heard these right,
It is a tragedy. So we need to protect them at all costs.
Yeah, so we'll uh and and then we'll put sand in there like they
did in California during COVID with the skate parks, so there's no skaters that
use the drained pools for for the kids. So I don't think sand is
a good enough deterrent because kids could be like I could build a sandcastle.
Can we fill the pools like broccoli or Brussels sprouts or something I was gonna
go with fire. Okay, that seems like that could possibly be No,
wait, kids might make smores. Well, I mean that. But that's
diabetes. I'm sorry. I mean, these are all horrible things that could,
that could. I'm sorry, that's what diabetes. Thank you diabetes.
Yeah, uh, dude, I thought we had it in the system.
I think I spelled it as the way he says. Oh, I'll never
be able to find the E t us diabetes. Well, now we're gonna
find it. Yeah, I want it. Hold on, Oh great,
it's not even diabetes. First diet. Oh you found it? Okay,
good, how's it spelled. It's actually spelled diabetes. Oh why didn't it
come up. I'm out on computers, all whacked out. Your blood sugar
is probably low, man, I need a s'more. Well, I'll go
to the ice cream knocking event and then i'll catch one just for it hits
the ground. We'll use that. But a kid won't beating it, so
it'll be fine. No, the kids, they're too busy running from the
Disney Bears. Yes. Apparently, nearly half of Disney World was forced to
close down after park goers reported a black bear near the Big Thunder railroad.
Well, it seems logical for a bear to be in I'm assuming the railroads
kind of themed over like mountain railroads. You would expect to see a bear
there. This was in frontier Land. Of course, there's gonna be bears
in frontier Land. Yeah, big Thunder railroad. It's like a whole like
mining theme. Oh yeah, that's Bear Central man. So wait, so
they go all authentic and then the cowards shut the park down. They didn't
even shut the park down when the gator was eating kids. It's probably super
confusing at first when you see the bear because you're like, oh my god,
it's like a Disney animatronic didn't realize it's like not singing about like necessities
and stuff, and wait, assies just the bear ones okay, all right,
not a greedy magic bear. So it's not a matt So if it
was a magic bear, everything be fine. But since it's not a magic
bear, right, Like that bear is not wearing a half shirt. What
a dangerous bear? What if it figured out that if it did, it
could catch more kids? Right? Abolical evil bear? But right they So
you got a gatorade a kid and they just like, please don't picnic so
close to the water's edge. They didn't shut did they shut the park down?
I don't think they shut the park down when the gatorade the kid,
right, because weren't they all people were upset because they didn't or excuse me,
I'm sorry, did I imply that a gatorade a kid? What actually
happened? It's a horrible smelting exit, that's right, Yes, silly me,
silly me, spreading false tails there, right. They tried to play
at all, They tried to hush that. Remember, isn't it wait,
wait, isn't part of Disney just all animals anyway, that's like a separate
park and it's like super far away from the Magic Kingdom. And but yes,
you do have Animal Kingdom, which is animals. Wait is that its
own ticket? Yeah, it's a separate park. No, come on,
it's an extra hundred bucks dude per person for to go where the animals are.
Yeah, so that's what Disney, that's what this is about. It's
a profit motive. These people didn't have an animal park ticket, but we're
getting to see animals, and Disney could not abide by that because they couldn't
then grease you for another hundred dollars to go to the other place. Yeah,
you've got a ticket for Epcot, a ticket for Animal Kingdom. Magic
Kingdom and Hollywood Studios or whatever they call it now, or you could buy
the Macdaddy package that's like super expensive to go to all four parks throughout the
day. There's four different tickets. Yeah, it's Disney World. That's why
they call it Disney World. It's like different parks right out. Like you
can't walk to them. You have to like get back in the parking lot
then you have to you know that. But how long does that take?
Drive? Or you can take the tram or whatever. It takes a long
time. Man, It's it's a long day. Is that there is that
the people mover does? It goes to the different people mover is only around
Magic Kingdom. Man, you need to educate yourself. I can't. There's
bears and gaters, man. I'd tell you the first time we took Lincoln
down there to Florida, I'd never been there. Mark he'd been there.
Yea. I was blown away because I thought I knew what I was going
to. I had no idea. I'm like, this is insane. You
know who probably put the bear in there? Come on, I mean,
give us stick a bear into the middle of all those children. Would probably
guess Grinch, baldwinness, whatever. Yea. If I'd guess she's like,
Ah, these kids look like they're having fun. What can I do to
get the park shut down? Back in the day, on the evil tier
list, I would have probably put like Tom Tillis there first. Yeah,
dynamic has changed, the power ranking has changed. Really, see what you
want about Tillis. He didn't cancel the Christmas parade because he's not a moron?
Debatable? Yeah, well but he no. Could you realize he wouldn't
do it? But not because it's the wrong thing to do, right,
but because he realizes there might be some impact in his electability. Yeah.
He read that a chapter in Macavelli's The Prince, which is near the back.
It's called it don't cancel the Christmas Parade? You Yeah, even if
it dude, if that former Italian thief Paula he was a politician, right,
if he knew not to cancel the Christmas parade? What are you all
doing? Oh man? All right? Diabodical, magical bears and bad decisions.
More of that coming up. Hang on, This is one O six
one FM Talk in the Triangle, and here's Talk WPTI in the Triad all
right, welcome back, seven thirty six. You're on the CaCO Day radio
program. You ready to take a trip, a trip down south. Let's
do this. Florida men, Florida men. Something in the water, the
air or scent that makes you do all that crazy crap. It's like the
state is one being done ass trap. Nowhere else has the Florida man.
It is all almost like as the weird Factor climbs that you'll find out it
happened in Florida every time. Florida men, Florida man. If anyone can
cheer me, if you know you can, does mind like get crazy?
But of course, but it's not as bad crap crazy as yours. Nowhere
else are you find him. They're so used to it they don't mind him.
Poray for Florida women this time around us. So here we go to.
Florida women were arrested for drunkenly tossing a baby back and forth over a
volleyball net quote like a toy, in one incident, actually flipping the baby.
Other patrons attempted to get them to stop for obvious reasons, at which
point they told the other patrons that they were going to quote fight them apparently
there may have been spent. Now is that less homoerotic than top gun beach
volleyball? Right, Steve? I mean if you had to, if you
had because at least with a baby, it means somebody reproduced. The way
Iceman is spinning that baby. It's hard to do with the baby, is
it? If you tried, I haven't, No, I can't pull it
off. Look at those poses from slider there. I think. I think
the real downfall is obviously these are horrible people, but two one of the
women is on crutches. You know how hard it is to play beach baby
volleyball crutches keeping your balance like that. Yeah, so they're going to prison,
right, yeah? I hope. So sounds like the baby was injured,
not because they spiked it or anything, but because you know, there's
a lot of force obviously when you're tossing a baby, which they say,
which was described as traveling four feet in the air. I know it doesn't
sound like a lot, but think about it. If you're six foot tall
two basically two thirds of you, that's a big distance. What is it?
How tall is a baby? A foot and a half? I say,
like it? It depends on obviously how old the baby is like a
football to a volleyball to a watermelon. Yeah, so I hope they're going
to jail. A waitress who was recording the incident, approached Lafoy, Brianna
Lafoy, nineteen, who then tried to hit her, and then Lafoy allegedly
flipped the baby upside down grabbed him by his ankles. What is he gonna
use She's gonna use the baby as a weapon. I have to assume these
women didn't want the baby and this was an effort to get the baby taken
away from them, which thankfully was accomplished. When please watch the video recorded
by the witness, they saw Nouel the other woman, Sierra Nouelle twenty,
sitting on the ground while Lafoy was standing up, swinging the baby at the
waitress like a nun chuck and at one point struck the woman with the baby.
Oh my god, Oh my god. You want to know the nate,
You want to know the name of the business where this happened, because
it's a bar slash recreationable cannabis, recreational cannabis spot known as Crazy John's Recreational
Cannabis and bar. Oh. Well, and I appreciate businesses that are like
name like that, because at least you know what you're getting yourself in.
You know what it is. You brought a baby to that though, right,
doesn't that sound like a place where you wouldn't bring a baby? Well,
unless you know you're looking forward to prison, I guess. The story
security also captured much of the incident. Owner Sean Knapp, who wasn't president
at the time, said he found the footage quote incredibly disturbing. I think
so. And while the baby did sustain some injuries include I think the baby
may have broken his arm. There's not enough prison for these two, He
said. He's glad this situation didn't turn out worse, as even after the
waitress was initially assaulted with the baby, other bystanders had stepped in. Good
Police also added to both Nuel and Lafoux, who are under twenty one,
were drunk at the time. The baby transferred to a local hospital for medical
treatment. The affid excuse me, the affid David doesn't reveal who the baby
belonged to. Oh my god. One of the women, the twenty year
old mother whose mother was with them. So the mother of the twenty year
old is with these two who are playing baby beach volleyball and weaponize the baby
and didn't step in, and I swear it says the Department of Children and
Family Services, who currently has taken custody of the baby, is evaluating the
background of Nowell's mother, who again was there to see if she can take
custody of the child. So I'm assuming it is the twenty year old's baby.
Why do I have a feeling the reason the twenty year old thinks this
is okay is because mom thought it was okay twenty years ago. It's wrong
with people. Man Elon Musk said Monday during an interview he may move to
require all users to pay a monthly fee to use Twitter excuse me, x
whatever during a live stream event with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin net and Yahoo must
describe it as a way to not only boost revenue, but more specifically target
armies of bots. I mean, he is right in that if every account
did have a fee associated with it, running these big bot farms all of
a sudden would not be advantageous. However, large scale social media company anytime
they You remember that scam that used to go around that Facebook's going to start
charging if you don't do stuff, and people would send that around and pass
it and like twenty people send it to us on the show, and it's
like it's not true. Because people just couldn't fathom the idea that there would
be they would require payment for one of the big, high profile social media
outlets. They couldn't fathom it, even in Congress. Remember the congressional testimony
of Mark Zuckerberg where the one idiot senators so they could push they could posh
for free, how do you make money? And Zuckerberg had to go,
we sell ads. But the idea that you'd have one of the big ones
require a subscription fee. Now granted, there is obviously a subscription option for
Twitter, which in and of itself became some sort of weird argument with memes.
This idiot paid for Twitter blue We played for a check mark. But
a lot of that was bore out of people who thought they were entitled to
check marks. They couldn't fathom others having it. But do you think that
twitters would be do you think Twitter would be what it is? I mean,
I understand the bots are a thing, but the tool that it is
if everyone had to pay for their account, I mean, obviously there'd be
a bunch of people who would cancel their accounts. I mean, that's clear,
right. I mean, I think it might be good because then you
don't have to worry about the pores being on there and you'd be in trolled
and having to associate with the pores. Check well. I mean, obviously
I'm not going to have like the low tier version because they say there's gonna
be like a premium version, which I have, and then like a like
a like a low tier like a poverty like so it's like you're not as
poverty as not having, but you're still kind of poor. So I mean,
if you're complaining about and imagine how much would it be, like like
a buck a month. I don't know. I admittedly even you know,
even at a buck, I think that that solves your troll problem or your
bought problem. For the most part, I still think there'd be people that
would because there's different ways that people use fake accounts to manipulate it, like
the fake account armies that they use to shame businesses and pretend there's more of
them for cancel culture purposes. I still think that there'd be there's enough political
money thrown in that direction that they you know, they he might continue to
engage, but you know those buy ten thousand followers. Can you imagine what
this would do to some accounts by the way, where you're like, how
does that person have three interactions on their tweet? But fifty thousand followers?
Right, you've seen those accounts, and I think those accounts all of a
sudden would have a lot less followers. But that manipulation happens everywhere. I
think that happens on Twitch, right, people have faith like they'll have like
two thousand followers, Yet if they do a live stream, that's different.
So what people do on twitches they pay for the viewers. That's what I
mean. You you'll see somebody and it's like you know, they have like
a hundred somebody people watching the stream, and then you go there, but
then know what's chatting? And no one is talking because those people and you
don't you don't pay, Like when you pay for that, it's like one
and done. I think, so like you that's what I've like, you
pay for it. Yeah, and then it's like you'll have a hundred people
which have never had in your in your chat room watching no one's talking because
they're all paid for it. In the next stream, it goes back to
your base. Well, maybe they're not talking because some have moderators. There
are such monsters that if you say anything, they'll just time you out.
Well, I think you just have to, you know, be able to
read the room. And I think it comes down to you if you're if
you're a person like that, then it's going to be just blocked. Yeah,
it probably comes down to your personality. You probably should do some self
reflection there, see how you're treating people. I would imagine you think that's
hypothetical, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what we're
going for. Hypothetical, right there. Huh, all right, well,
what do you know? Seven forty seven ray Yo Fantasy football stage? It
joining us who's well, who's the tomorrow game? I don't have it in
front of me. I forgot who's the tomorrow Guiana, We're either really awful
or really good? Yeah, we don't. We don't know yet. Well,
Barkeley won't play. I think that's that's right. Week the week,
No, I didn't have My wife did, She was like, who do
I play this week? Barkeley's got a huge We don't play Keeler. Jared
Allen Jared Allen, I told her number sixty nine for the Vikings play.
And we'll see if there's any impacts, not tomorrow, but for the weekend
for any college football, high school football on Friday night Saturday. With this
coastal thing going and then further up the coast, I think a lot of
the moisture is gonna be read along immediate coast for the weekend. Now,
this is probably not going to be tropical. They're thinking non tropical right now.
This area of low pressure's forecast to develop, but it could even spread
some rainfall into the triangle and the try it. The rain chances lesson as
you go toward the west, but beautiful until then. Uh yeah, I
know there's some cloud and a little fog around this morning and some partial sun
today, but still eighty or just a tonight tomorrow, cloudy, still at
our above eighteen. That rain chance comes in Friday afternoon from the east,
going to get a little breezy too, and as I said, triangling out
near the coast, better chances of rain into Friday night, maybe Saturday into
Saturday morning. We'll have to see certainly the coast rain and more wind,
more chewing up of the coastline, and coastal flooding. Whether it gets a
name or not, we're going to have a storm on the coast. So
I'm trying to get one of those last kind of beach weekends in where maybe
you just want to go to the beach, maybe not get in the water.
I'm not going to be pretty. I think Sunday is a chance all
the rain will be done. So it's a little iffy right now. I
think we'll have a better kind of forecast for Friday, Friday afternoon and Saturday
as we talk tomorrow. But right now, a couple of pretty decent days
coming up here over the next couple of days. And you know, as
I said, it's gonna be questionable to where the rain and where the rain
is. It is not as we go through the latter part of the week,
we can't you know why we can't get in the water? Right?
No, all these these jerks decided to save that stupid mako shark. Did
you see that? Oh yeah, don't you got a giant mako shark that
has willingly beached itself on that Florida beach. Right, so it can't eat
anybody unless you get right up on it. And these a holes go over
and like, let's get it back in the ocean so it can eat the
kids, and and they do. And so now we got a big old
Mako's probably pretty hungry from struggling while being beached. Sure, just swimming around
looking for Johnny. Yeah, and he's a pretty good size too. So
anyway, all right, sorry, don't go in the water. Thanks,
man, appreciate it. Yeah, did you see that? Did you see
these idiots? Homer, their wives sitting around watching this too dangerous? Don't
be doing that. She's already she's like, what was our life insurance policy?
Let him? No, Oh, it's not dead. It's thrashing around
trying to bite people. Oh, they got it. Now it's gonna eat
you stupids. All right, we'll be back Smart talk all DAYPTI in the
Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. No, I'm not
sure. I'm not sure how that would work. I'm assuming that what are
they called big wheels, right, or the things that the motorized kids like
Jeep runs on the battery. It's a big wheel right, maybe it's something
else. I think he had big wheels and power wheels, power wheels,
well, whatever it is. Every year for the Christmas parade, I get
one of those and then I juggle Christmas babies, right, they're in little
like Santa's Elf outfits, and then just drive that depth and we're gonna have
to take that yeah, and put some jingle bells behind it. Yeah.
Oh that would be an easy mix, man, it would be yeah.
Back, do we have jingle I mix it right here? Do we have
any jingle bells? See if we have jingle bells, and then put it
on one of the pot three spots, I'll mix on the floor. I'm
you know, at the end of the day, I just say, don't
call me a DJ because we're talk hosts, but we're also DJ's or any
Christmas music. Really, that's just that's just a bed. Maybe some Trans
Siberian. Do we have any Trans Siberian in the music category? We got
to the problem is you search in the library jingle bells, jingle and you
get like five thousand different cups. No, that's right because all the jingles
and stuff. All right, hold on, I'll just got to search by
artiste artiste. Oh, now it's gonna take an hour to load because we
got way too much music in there. Can we search it on sound Plus?
Do we know that's an inside joke. Don't worry about that. Lieutenant
Governor Mark Robinson gonna be joining us here at eight oh five. We got
Christmas and Sandy and we're gonn get into the budget because apparently now they figured
out they getting they can do a budget and give the Democrats exactly what they
want and get nothing in return. Now that being said, there was a
lot of people who didn't want anything to do with the casinos anyway. So
yeah, we gotta have transli Beerian in here. Huh ah, Yes,
here we go. Christmas Eves. That's a little slow, a little something
perfect, got it right here, got what I need? Now we're gonna
go mad Russian perfect because you'd have to be all right, so you think
just Christmas theme it up and everything will be fine. Now now it's a
little slow, I need something a little bad, all right, but it's
it's the it's the right gist. Yeah, you'd watch me juggle babies in
health costumes to this? What did she? Of course it would, that's
my new hot sigle get me in the a rotation over on the other station.
We're gonna get paid, all right, Lieutenant Governor joins us. Next,
hang on, all right, Good morning everybody. It is eight oh
seven and happy Wednesday to you. Case O Day Radio program phone number eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. As we cruise into this
hour though, we are going to we're going to be doing our interview that
we do twice monthly with the Lieutenant Governor now, so your calls will be
coming up a little later, but let's go ahead and dive into it.
Mark Robinson joining us. Good morning to you, sir. How you doing?
Okay? How are you doing? I'm pretty good. I'm very angry
this morning. Have you been following what's going on with the Raleigh Christmas Parade?
Are you on this? I worry about Oh my good. Let me
just bring you up to speed. So the mayor of Raleigh decided she was
going to cancel this year's Christmas parade and then replace it with quote holiday activities.
I'll let you imagine what those might be, of a progressive nature,
and her reasoning was they wanted to do it to honor the family whose daughter
was tragically killed during last year's parade when a truck struck her, and except
the family didn't want the parade canceled, nobody could figure out why she wanted
to steal the joy from the children. And now they're doing this gamesmanship where
they'll give parade, you know, they'll let parades go forward that some would
describe as seemingly progressive parades, but they didn't want to have a Christmas parade
this year. And some people are reading that as they didn't like the fact
that it's still called a Christmas parade. If he catch my drift, Mark,
I don't understand as a politician. This is what I'm asking you.
How could somebody put something on your desk to cancel a Christmas parade and you
not go this is a horrible idea. I'm not saying you would do it,
but like, don't you talk to your staff about stuff, even just
to make sure you're not having a brain lapse on things like this. I
mean, how do these things move forward? Man? In casey, we
are living in days of lunacy, absolute lunacy, and so it does not
surprise me that a that an empty headed leftist would would would do such a
thing. It doesn't surprise me at all that someone like that would do it,
given the fact that we have politicians now that sit in the office and
want to defund the police and want to remain silent while children are fit pornography
uh in our schools and and and some of them agree with it. Uh,
it doesn't shock me at all that they would do. And I think
that the people need to speak up and speak up vihetmently, and uh if
they say they still can't, they're not going to have a Christmas parade.
I think the people should come together and have their own Christmas parade, uh
despite them. And uh if they would like to send out some type of
police force or something to to bash them all up to hear the culture trying
to have a Christmas parade, and so be it. But I think the
people should just step to ignore it and have a Christmas parade anyway. Yeah,
I've heard it's perfectly legal for you and a bunch of life minded folks,
whoever it may be, whatever someone's group is, to literally just a
mass on the streets do whatever you damn well please, and there's really not
going to be any penalty for it. In fact, the governor may even
come out and walk with you with a with a mask hanging off his ear.
Had you seen this, absolutely? Yeah, that seems to be the
status quot these days. Right, So I think that those folks who want
to have a Christmas parade, they should do the exact same thing. Yeah,
well, now it looks like they're gonna They told them they could,
but now they can't have vehicles, which I don't know how you pull floats
with that. But everything's just insane. All right. Let me let me
get over on the political side of things. So, the back and forth
and the teeth nashing over what exactly the budget's gonna look like has been building
up to a crescendo. Yesterday we found out it looks like this thing's gonna
go forward. It will not include casinos or video gambling machines. Seems that
they're enough Republicans that were also opposed to it. Many people have criticized the
process leading up to this. I know you don't get a vote, right,
you are head of the Senate, but you don't get a vote in
this. Uh. That being said, I'm sure you know you're involved in
some of the conversations that are happening down there. What did you think of
the process, the casino ideas and the video gambling, I mean, what,
what what did you think of that? Before we get to some of
the other stuff. I'm curious your opinion on it. I'm gonna I'm gonna
make it plain about gambling. I'm not in favorite of gambling. Hell,
if I was counseling the young person talking to someone and ask me about how
I feel about gambling casinos, I don't. I don't go in because I
don't. I've been in casinos for other purposes, because I've been in the
facilities there for compasses and things right, and I don't gamble. I don't
play lottery, and I'll advise anybody else to do that. I'm not in
favor of of of of that either. That is not the type of industry
that I'd like to see come to North Carolina. I'm making that perfectly plaint
is as what I believe. That's not what I'm in favor of. However,
I do believe, uh cases that the folks down in Robinson County,
the Lumby Indians in Lumbian County, in Lumby the Lumby Indian. Lumby Indians
in Robinson County should be able to have a referendum to put gaming in their
area if they want. The other three counties, however, there were a
great number of people who were viehtnably aggainst it. And despite what anybody may
say, the process as we have set up work, the people made their
voices heard. I went into the the appropriate places where I needed to speak
and speak the folks to have my voice heard and have my opinion put in
with those folks who made these arguments. And we're in the in the halls
of our legislature and we see the results. The people came out and spoke
and said they did not want these casinos, and they made plane and their
representatives heard them, and we're moving forward now with a budget that doesn't that
is not going to include that. At some point, I suppose maybe that
issue may come up again and we can have that fight again. But it
is over and the budget is now free of that, and we're gonna pass
It looks like the budget is gonna pass. The only thing in that budget
that I'm still a little dismayed with that we have passed is Medicaid expansion.
I'm still not in favor of that. But as I've told people, Medicaid
expansion goes through, and the budget goes through, and Medicaid expansion becomes part
of what we're doing here in North Carolina, We're just gonna fight like to
make sure we get the absolute best results of it. I've talked to a
number of people in the healthcare industry. They have great confidence in that.
I believe we're gonna be able to make that happen. But I'm glad to
see that the General Assembly has come together realize that divorce of the people have
been heard, and they're going to pull that out and they're gonna move on.
I understand that that is the opinion of a lot of folks, like,
we're gonna we're gonna figure out how to do this as efficiently as possible.
We're not going to get into the pitfalls and other states have gotten into,
Ohio being a very good example where it ends up costing a lot more
money. But Ohio set out with that goal, right, and and other
states have set out with that goal. And the problem is, you know,
Mark, is that once you get something going in from a government standpoint,
getting it not going as damn near and possible. So I think people
see it as a failure to negotiate on the part of Republicans because part of
that was, Okay, we'll do this, but we expect to get something.
And what happened the governor went out and essentially said, I don't care
what it is you want. I don't care what it is that you said.
I want what I want, and screw you on what you want.
Remember he was criticizing the school vouchers and everything. And the reality is,
what did Republicans get. They look like they negotiate worse than Joe Biden just
did with that Iran deal. Yeah again, I'm not pleased that you're not
suppose you're talking about Medica expansion here. Yes, yes, I am,
Yes, I'm very I'm still not pleased that we passed Medicaid expansion, casey,
when negotiations that went on behind closed doors. Unfortunately I was not able
to be a part of those negotiations. But I can't tell you this,
uh, I don't. I don't like the fact that we have it.
I don't like the fact that it's here. And I am praying vehemently that
we don't fall into the pitfalls of those the states have as far from what
I understand, our MEDICAI expansion does have a provision that what the federal government
goes back on their on their agreement that we could opt out of the that
we could opt out of it, and that our Medicaid expansion deal was much
different than any of the states Medicaid expansion deal. Even with that, DSCA
and Casey, I still have a very hard time trust in the federal government
when it comes to this, and my objection to Medicaid expansion still stands.
But again, if it's gonna be here, we've come to this consensus,
whether it was a bad deal or not, we're going to do our best
to make sure we can get the best out of it. I'm really i
you know, and I'm really disappointed that they didn't include you more. If
that is the case, because the chances are that you are you there's about
a fifty percent chance that you could be the next governor if you secure the
Republican nomination, and obviously you want to have a good working relationship with those
at the legislative level. They know where Josh Stein stands. But you know,
why wouldn't Why wouldn't they make more of an effort to bring Mark Robinson
into the fold since from a polling standpoint, you are leading Republican. Well,
you know the way the way it's structured, the way my job is
structured. Uh, it doesn't include the Lieutenant governor in those things. And
we have made an application to try to stay within the bounds of the job
description that we've had. Uh. And and I'm gonna be completely tandied here.
It's been one of the most difficult parts of my job, understanding what
my role is, Understanding what the job description is, how it's laid out.
UH, the protocols that exist inside inside the legislature, we've tried to
stick to that, try to avoid conflict as much as possible when I and
when I say conflict, I don't mean disagreements. But we've not tried to
turn this into some nasty public fight that's going to divide us and keep us
divided and cause hard feelings blah blah blah all the way down the line.
Uh. It's been a very difficult type rope to walk, very difficult,
and but I believe that in the end it's gonna playoff Casey. I believe
that in the end it's going to pay dividends for us, and that we're
going to be able to do much more here in the future, and that
some of the things that we've seen thus far that we've been very disappointed in,
I think we may see a Barder day coming up here soon. Mark.
You can agree disagree with this, that's fine. I'm of the opinion
that when that Phil Berger and Tim Moore don't need the governor, and it
doesn't matter whether it's Roy Cooper, it doesn't matter if it's you or somebody
else. I think that from a power play position, those two are the
most powerful people in the state of North Carolina bar none, due to the
override majority that they have, and it really doesn't matter to them who's the
governor because ultimately they're going to ignore what that person wants. Anyway. Do
you share those concerns, even even though you guys may have ideological agreement and
so on stuff. I don't think they give a flip what the governor wants
because they don't have to. What is what is your take on that?
Well, there are a lot of people who believe that a lot of people
who believe that the current structure of our government needs to needs to uh needs
to be changed. I think that I have a good enough working relationship with
those individuals, uh, both of those individuals. UH that should I you
know, when I should I become donor. My wife always tells me when
I become governor. Yeah, influence, She's gonna say that my influence will
matter a great deal uh with with what those are in that legislature, because
I've been willing to work hand in hand with those folks. Uh. Even
again, even when we disagree, we have still been willing uh to uh
to try to keep the peace as much as possible, even when we disagree,
UH, keep a great deal of respect for both individuals and continue to
work with them. And I think in the future if speaker more, I'm
not sure he's going to be there. And I believe so. The burger
will be when we need to work together on the things that we're going to
that we're going to legislatively. I don't see a problem there. I don't
see a problem. And if there is a problem, we will tackle that
problem appropriately when it when it rises. Yeah, And I don't think it's
a you thing. Mark. I think it's whoever fills that chair. They're
really in a position where all right, well thanks for weighing in, but
we're gonna do what we're gonna do. I gotta switch gears just real quick.
For the for the second time here, a week ago you had this,
uh, this panic at U N S. And in this case,
a person stroll in allegedly to a bagel joint, flashed a handgun and made
threats. This very same individual, nine days prior, at a little store
just down the road, strolled into that little store with a bat and a
handgun and threatened to murder people in there, and was almost immediately returned to
the streets. And that oversight and lack of give a crap on the part
of prosecutors over on the Durham Chapel hillside of things apparently was ignored by students
who decided to descend upon the state capitol and ignoring how do you how do
you talk to somebody and say, look, I understand that you may think
that we need different state laws, but in reality, if your prosecutors would
actually do their job, it likely would have staved off that event because that
person would have been incarcerated it's a symptom of a larger problem. You know,
people who think they're actually politically engaged and understand what's going on don't even
understand the absolute basics of basics of all laws cases. They don't understand the
basics of all laws. These constitutional scholars who argue with police officers on the
side of the road, they don't understand the basics the The police officer is
not the judge, he's not the prosecutor. Here's not the person that you
are to make your argument too. You make your argument in port and people
don't understand that simple premise. They argue with a police officer who is simply
writing the citation. He's not convicting you, he's not taking your money,
is simply writing the citation. But this is exactly but the same but the
same thing applies here. These folks don't understand the legislature already has laws in
place to take care of this individual. It is your district attorney that you
have voted for that is not doing this. Your protests should be down at
his office, yeah, Well mean where your protest? Yeah? And meanwhile,
the problem is they see it is that Mark Robinson's going to give away
an AR fifteen that has I am the majority and let it rain written on
it as a fundraiser thing, and like somehow you're gonna be going and handing
those out to felons on their way out of prison less than a minute mark.
I mean, people's priorities are whacked, man, they are they are
that. People want to always come and punish the good guys. They want
to handcuff the police. They want to disarm the law by the citizens.
But when it comes to punishing the criminals, we do not do it anymore.
We do not hold the guilty party's responsible anymore. We have got to
have DA's in place that have gonne throw these people in jail and put like
we say in the old days, wrote a book at them as hard as
we can. They don't do it anymore. It's a revolving door of crime.
And now the folks that vote for these people are out protesting against people
who set the laws to put these people in jails. Put these people in
jail. It's ridiculous. Well and by the way, I need you to
pick my name for the AR fifteen. Okay, alright, so got it?
You got it? At one of those all right, Thank you,
sir, appreciate it. Okay, you got it, Thank you and we'll
be back. Hang on everybody your day Smarter one oh six one FM Talk
and News Talk four five PTI more with Casey starts now. All right,
good morning. It is eight thirty seven here on the k c O Day
Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Glad to have you long interview there with Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson. You want
to weigh in on it. We covered all sorts of fun stuff Christmas Parade
and budget and das and aren't expected to do anything. And then when their
citizens find themselves having a deal with criminals that think, hey, I could
probably get a bagel up. Great if I flash a handgun, then they
have to act surprise. We got that going for you. You want to
wait end on any of that, Feel free to go ahead and do that
real quick. Want to mention this do the Department of Homeland? Are you
sitting down? I'm gonna need you to be sitting at ross? Are you
seated in sey? Your tone? Should I go prone? You might?
Did you see it? By the way, you see those chairs? I
posted on Twitter yesterday? Did you want one of those for the several What
do you wait hold on when you need more than one giant massage chair.
I actually hit a button and Alderon's gone, by the way, So you
gotta be careful in most things. Oh. The Department of Homeland Security announced
yesterday the creation of a Homeland Intelligence Experts Group. That sounds good, right.
Remember it was a lack of information sharing around nine to eleven that raised
a lot of concern, So you know, you Homeland Intelligence Experts Group probably
wants some smart people on that, right. The panel will include private sector
experts who will provide their unique perspectives of the federal government's intelligence enterprise. That's
great, okay, Like who the first two appointees former CIA director John Brennan
and former Director of Natural National Intelligence James Clapper. Can we just have everyone
that told us that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation? Yeah? People on
the K's a big committee. I remember these two are also driving the whole
Russia collusion hoax. And those are your first two people, those are the
first. Brennan's running away, he was all over TV like yuh. The
Krebs, a Manchurian candidate, Hunter Biden's They're not that's not real. It's
Rushia collusion. That's your intelligence panel. So it's oxymore on day up in
Washington. Oh, I just kid, I'll look at that all right.
Well, I said, hey, this is what we're talking about. You
want to call in, So we got Mark Walker just out of disclosure.
Mark is obviously running against Mark Rodinson and the governor's race. But hey,
anyone who wants to call in is welcome to call in. But I will
just you know, put that out there. Mark. How you doing this
morning? I'm doing fine. Casey. I hope you and Rosster hanging in
there. Let me just let me ask you this because I know you called
in obviously to talk about casino stuff. It says here my culture. That's
fine. I'd tell you were you were on intelligence. James Brennan or John
Brennan and James Clapper are the are the big brains you're bringing in for your
your your committee. There the heck's going on, man. They're the ones
that led the effort of trying to find all those former intelligence officers that that
simply slammed the hunter by as a Russian hoax. These are the two guys
that led it, and you're gonna put them on the committee. I mean,
how disingenuous can you beat. They're not even trying to hide their intentions
anymore, that's the problem. Wait, hold on, hold on. Ross
has just been named to the National Guacamole Board. All right, buddy,
Yeah, that's he hates guacamole, so well, he'll have to find time
not baby juggling, uh, to be able to again. Man, some
lady was horrified. I'm like, ma'am, you're juggling. Machettes would be
a lot more dangerous. Babies are soft, So I owned her. I'm
sorry to deviate into that, but I'm looking at this like it's it's April
Fools every day around here, all right, So what's what's the casino thing
you wanted to come in on? Yeah. The only thing more observed than
the baby juggling was some of the responses from the Lieutenant governor. Let me
let me applaud first, these communities who dug in, spent their own money
for the last four months and fought to the end. Even though they were
told that the house always wins, they stuck to it. So the credit
goes to the people in these communities that organize themselves that showed up. We
had nearly eight hundred people, most in history show up for a county commissioner
meeting. Let me put credit where credits due. These people fought tucsonnel and
Mark Robins is not correct. No, the representatives didn't listen to them.
Senator Burger never met with these folks. Mark Robinson never met with these folks.
In fact, his response to the people is that he's no longer an
activist. That's a quote. And even what he said today that his job
description really doesn't include creating conflict. Well, look, your voice is to
go and fight for the people. That's what you should be doing. And
I think that was just problematic and disingenuous. And I'll also add this,
if your only problem with the budget, if he even knows what's in the
budget, is the medicaid expecsion. How about the MC innovation project. Are
we supposed to be excited that instead of one point fill four billion dollars of
taxpayers money, it's only half a billion. He needs to be studied.
And the fact that they won't even let him in the room to participate as
the president of the Senate tells me a lot. So, yeah, a
little bit on a rent this morning, because those answers to your questions,
very fair questions, were disingenuous at best, maybe even dishonest at worst.
Okay, but what Yes, as president in the Senate, he may be
President of the Senate, but he doesn't get a vote. And I'm not
wrong in saying that if he gets if whether he's the governor, lieutenant governor,
or you're the governor for that matter, if you get into a room
with the current power structure, with the override ability of Burger and more,
they have no there's no reason why they should care if you're on the other
side of an issue that you're on the other side, if they want to
do something because the math works in their favor, That's all I was saying.
Yeah, but here's the point, Casey, whether it's Rawley or DC,
you make care, you raise your voice. You're in an elected official
position and the people, specifically grassroots across this state are counting on you to
speak up. Whether you get to push the button at the vote at the
end of the day is not the point here. It's the fact. Are
you going to sit on your hands and do what you're told. There's a
reason that Phil Burger never stood with Dan Forest on anything. There's a reason
that Phil Berger never stood at Pat mccroy. But he's the first one up
the steps at mister Robinson's campaign announcement. This is why mister Robinson, in
my humble opinion, has not spoken out publicly against any of these issues at
any point for the last five or six months. You have a job to
speak out, whether you get a chance to vote for it or not.
Why don't you Why are you going to do some baby juggling at the parade
then if you're trying to encourage me to be the one in the barrel there
or what, well, you know, possibly I you know, being an
athlete to a few years ago, I think we could get to a three
babies. You know, it depends on how high to volleyball net is.
You know that that could be a problematic there. Who just I'll ask you
the same question. I got a roll who sits there and goes, yeah,
yeah, let's cancel that Christmas parade? Like yeah, I would,
I would. Here what you're talking about? We always you know, and
as you do, condn't. This is a sad situation, for the for
the for the daughter, and she should be represented to be able to have
a Christmas parade. The family wants it, and it's ludicrous to think that
you can just override it or pull the derminology Christmas out. Let's honor that
family by having a Christmas parade there in Waite County. Let's just not be
brain dead, you know, I'm not. It's not a high bar mark
that I'm asking for. So it's not if you have a good day before,
right, thank you, thank you for that. All right, we're
not asking for we're not asking for much here. Oh hold on, oh
wow, look at this. Apparently the mayor has just had the candy vending
machines removed from the children's cancer board at the hospital. I mean the preservatives
in those stakes, right, yeah. The one thing you wouldn't want for
these kids deal with that is for their teeth to fall out, right or
get a cavity. What is wrong with people? How is it so easy
to come up with absurd scenarios that might not be absurd on their face when
it's the canceling of the Christmas prey that God us here too easy? By
the way, can you score me some guacamole with your new new position.
You know, I got you all of it. You can have all of
them. Just get it away from you. It's your passion. Oh man,
all right, eight forty six race Agack from the weather Channel. He's
here, Ross's guacamole. That's weird. I don't like it either. What
is wrong with both of you? One for each of you. Yeah,
I just pass it off. We go to Mexican restaurants and get it on
my plate. Everybody my family loves it. That's because the rest of your
family's normal. Man. So yes, there's that. All right, give
us your appleather than Yeah. Yeah, it'll get worse before it gets better.
But I think over the next couple of days, not bad. A
lot of clouds depends on where you are today, but there's some sun mixed
in, so try it and west a little more cloud Then you're starting to
see some breaks in the overcast around the triangle either way, upper seventies,
low eighties. The more sunshine obviously, the warm you'll get. So you'll
probably have the low eighties low eighties again tomorrow and then tomorrow night on it
to Friday, especially Friday afternoon, we'll start to see the clouds sticking up.
Low pressure try to develop off the coast and then might get some rain
in here, low to mid seventies. On Friday, the winds start to
pick up out of the northeast. So timing intensity of rain we'll see looks
like afternoon through Friday night, maybe Saturday. We'll probably have a lot more
on the timing of all that. Might be a tropical system, might just
be a regular low pressure, could be non tropical. Either way, impacts
of the coast will be greatest with some gusty winds, and we may be
dealing with some more beach erosion and maybe some more minor coastal flooding too.
So any chance is going up actually from the triangle east, probably sometime on
Friday. All right, appreciate it, Thank you, yep, yep.
And Jeff Bellinger's next hang on keeping you connected. This is w PTI in
the Triad and one six one FM talk in the Triangle. All right,
eight fifty three Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg Update. Now, Jeff, I hope that
the stock market is smart enough to figure out that Don Junior's Twitter account was
hacked, and Don Junior John Senior is not dead. Have you seen this
insanity? I have not so. Donald Donald Trump Junior's Twitter account tweeted out
about forty five minutes ago h quote, I'm sad to announce my father,
Donald Trump has passed away. And yeah, but they also tweeted out this
just in North Korea is about to get smoked and f Joe Biden stupid A
word N word. So hopefully they'll be smarter than that, and you know,
make a run on the banks or whatever. So anyway, I'm sorry
Tory to lead you in with that insanity, but it's kind of breaking news.
Anywo. What's going on? Well, today is a decision day for
the Federal Reserve. Economists still think the Fed will leave interest rates unchanged.
Blueberg Intelligence as central bankers will probably indicate that another rate hike is possible before
the end of the year, but it will be a close call. Since
yesterday morning at this time, two more big retailers announced their holiday hiring plans.
Amazon dot Com will hire two hundred and fifty thousand seasonal workers, Target
will add one hundred thousand temporary workers, and the Postal Service says it's going
to add about ten thousand holiday workers. Home loan demand the rebounded last week.
Mortgage bankers say total application volume was up nearly five and a half percent
from the prior week. Elon Musk is con entering putting his ex short messaging
service behind a paywall as a way to keep bots off the platform previously known
as Twitter. Musk says a modest monthly subscription fee would make it too expensive
for operators to continue using their bots and the Casey. A new analysis by
the job site Indeed says the happiest workers in the US are those employed by
Loves travel stops and country stores. Loves as a privately held company. It's
based in Oklahoma City. It scored the highest and reviews by employees who rated
their companies on happiness, stress, satisfaction, and purpose. Casey always,
we got one between Raleigh and Greensboro, and that's where I stop generally when
I'm going between the two stations. So I like the Loves, So good
for them. All right, thank you, all right, Okay, have
a great day. Yeah, there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News.
Oh no, Ross, you see this stock market. All the money's
gone, It's all gone, and it's gone. I love that South park
me, We'll put your money in the bank. All right, two quick
calls, Corey, You're up first, go add oye. Hey. You
know, at the end of the day in North Carolina, with this expansion,
it just shows that there's really no difference between Republicans or Democrats. It's
all about expanding the government and increasing power and control and money. So what's
the point of having a veto proof majority if the Republicans are just going to
do what the Democrats want? And on a second note, I'm really disappointed
the Lieutenant governor that a few months ago you had asked him when this conversation
started about what he thought about the expansion, and he avoided the question and
basically said that the legislator had to go through the process of deciding what to
do, and now as they decided what they're going to do, of course
he's against it because that's what the base wants. But then he says it
hands off, I had nothing to do with this, so stop my fault.
Yeah, they're just buying votes. So what's the point of voting for
a Republican if all they want to do is most parties are the exact saying
this is the exact thing. They're all about powering people. You're right,
you know what, You're right. I should just be in charge, So
I agree, would agree. No, Ross, Ross wants to taze everybody.
He literally said, he's just gonna walk around taising people. Do you
want to live in that dystopia? I think not right? Twenty four right
the light he stomp it. All right, thanks Corey for the car there.
It's so horrible, like, yes, even Barry and Baldwin couldn't come
up with the worst slogan. I said, you're all gonna pay. I
mean, I've been nothing but honest with you. I've thought you meant taxes
and we already are. So no taxation is staff. But he's doll That's
a good point, all right, Donna, real quick? What's up?
Good morning, Casey. Yeah, I was just calling to talk about the
hack. We don't know. I mean, that's not prevenan. Yeah,
you know, I mean his opinion about Joe Biden. You know, whoever
it is. If it's not him, you know, maybe we should hear
him out. No, come on, is North Korea? North Korea is
still there, so I don't think it's true. So yeah, and the
reports of Trump seniors death has been greatly exaggerated. I have a question.
If they figured out somebody the US hacked it, are they going to charge
them with election interference? Yeah? Right, okay, all right. I
mean even though that would literally I would fit the literal definition when they went
after other people for remember we got a dude doing jail time because of memes.
Oh yeah, yeah, just saying all right, all right, day
by bye, yeah, ride the Lightning twenty twenty four. Who's voted for
that? It's a new roller coaster we're setting up and wake forth? Oh
is it okay to further blot out the sun above your house? But it's
actually gonna be on the other side of the new condos, So it blots
their son out. Because if you can't have any son, no one can't
know to light it up. Tasers were very effective. All right, we'll
see you tomorrow.
