00:00:12.960 --> 00:00:18.039
All right, good morning everybody,
and happy Friday. It is the CaCO

2
00:00:18.160 --> 00:00:24.160
Day Radio program. Another weekend,
another stack of the weather to worry about.

3
00:00:24.199 --> 00:00:28.399
We'll obviously touch base with Race Stagic
a little later on. Lets you

4
00:00:28.440 --> 00:00:33.479
know what you can expect. I
saw the they're doing all the standard issue

5
00:00:33.920 --> 00:00:40.600
power stories. They're standing by waiting, so you know, hopefully that means

6
00:00:40.679 --> 00:00:48.320
that if there is something, it
is quickly resolved and we don't see a

7
00:00:48.320 --> 00:00:54.240
repeat, obviously of what we saw
in North Carolina last weekend, with obviously

8
00:00:54.280 --> 00:00:59.640
one person killed, a lot of
severe damage, some idiot having to be

9
00:00:59.719 --> 00:01:04.120
pulled up a riverside or whatever the
heck it was because she wanted to film

10
00:01:04.159 --> 00:01:07.439
a porta potty floating by I mean, we don't need any of this.

11
00:01:08.920 --> 00:01:15.879
So yeah, that's the thing,
and we will obviously try to set the

12
00:01:15.920 --> 00:01:22.319
scene to the extent that we can. Sorry, I'm just sitting here fighting

13
00:01:22.439 --> 00:01:26.519
with a Why does it when it
first boots it doesn't say anything about an

14
00:01:26.599 --> 00:01:32.400
update, and then like twenty minutes
later, it's like, ah, we

15
00:01:32.439 --> 00:01:34.920
need to do this thing, and
if you don't, your computer is gonna

16
00:01:34.920 --> 00:01:42.439
explode. All right, very frustrating, but we we got a remedy there.

17
00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:48.959
Okay, all right, we have
so much audio today, lots of

18
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:56.280
stuff we're gonna lose. We're gonna
learn about food justice. I have no

19
00:01:56.439 --> 00:02:02.480
idea what that is. It's a
thing, though, and I frankly I

20
00:02:02.519 --> 00:02:07.560
have a solution, and it's one
that frankly, I also assume that has

21
00:02:07.599 --> 00:02:12.879
occurred to any of the people that
are sitting there in government or at government

22
00:02:12.960 --> 00:02:19.479
meetings talking about how their rights are
being violated because the grocery store nearest them,

23
00:02:19.560 --> 00:02:28.280
which loses money hand over fists due
to shrinkage, that's theft, shoplifting

24
00:02:28.319 --> 00:02:32.960
everything else. Why they want to
wrap it up and why the people feel

25
00:02:32.960 --> 00:02:42.159
they're entitled to something. And yes
it is California, so ready yourself for

26
00:02:42.280 --> 00:02:46.639
that insanity. There is a story
in the stack. I was laughing so

27
00:02:46.000 --> 00:02:58.800
hard reading this thing yesterday. The
espn Emmy story might be one of my

28
00:02:58.840 --> 00:03:01.319
favorite stories for a while. And
if you don't know what this is,

29
00:03:04.120 --> 00:03:08.080
I will share it with you and
we will all we will all have a

30
00:03:08.080 --> 00:03:15.520
good laugh. How's that? But
not really, because it's it's just weird.

31
00:03:15.960 --> 00:03:19.520
I guess would be the best way
to but it's just like I don't

32
00:03:19.520 --> 00:03:22.879
even understand it. I don't like
why, why they were doing it,

33
00:03:23.000 --> 00:03:23.680
or what they were using it for. And if you don't know what it

34
00:03:23.719 --> 00:03:27.800
is, don't worry. I'm gonna
get to that pretty quick. So uh

35
00:03:28.240 --> 00:03:36.639
do do ready yourself for that?
And I oh, I don't want to

36
00:03:36.680 --> 00:03:40.159
pair this Texas story with anything,
so maybe I'll just maybe I'll just get

37
00:03:40.199 --> 00:03:43.520
this out of the way now.
I don't want to hit you with this

38
00:03:43.599 --> 00:03:49.240
thing at six eleven in the morning. I can make all the h I

39
00:03:49.240 --> 00:03:52.759
can make all the wood chipper jokes
and all of that, but the fact

40
00:03:52.800 --> 00:03:57.840
remains that this is just this is
sap, you know, sap humanity from

41
00:03:57.879 --> 00:04:02.120
your soul stuff. And the fact
that it's in Texas, I guess is

42
00:04:02.159 --> 00:04:10.479
the only upside. Because I gotta
think some folks down in Texas if they

43
00:04:10.919 --> 00:04:15.800
run into any of the other six
individuals that police say they are interested in

44
00:04:15.839 --> 00:04:20.639
speaking with, Texas made just Texas. You get what I'm saying. So

45
00:04:21.680 --> 00:04:29.360
any who stick around for all of
that fun and for volity in one of

46
00:04:29.360 --> 00:04:31.600
the most horrendous stories I've seen in
quite some time, But just saying something,

47
00:04:35.040 --> 00:04:40.560
saying something, all right? Phone
number eight eight eight nine three four

48
00:04:40.720 --> 00:04:43.639
seven eight seven four. You want
to be on the show. That's how

49
00:04:43.680 --> 00:04:48.120
you make that happen. And let
me do this because we got all sorts

50
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:51.519
of San Francisco stuff. Maybe I'll
start west coast and we'll head east from

51
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:56.600
there, and then obviously we've got
a few things locally we need to talk

52
00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:02.680
about. And boy o, boy
I just realized something on the tunnel,

53
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:06.360
that tunnel story. H Ross sent
me. Ross texted me something this morning.

54
00:05:06.439 --> 00:05:15.160
You sent me a tweet this morning. If if it couldn't get weirder,

55
00:05:15.199 --> 00:05:19.560
it's getting weirder on that story.
But then when you think about it,

56
00:05:19.680 --> 00:05:23.879
kind of not. So listen to
this. We'll take a break,

57
00:05:23.879 --> 00:05:27.519
I'll give you the update on the
tunnel story, and we get to California

58
00:05:27.560 --> 00:05:30.160
things and uh even we got floored
in the mix. It's it's busy,

59
00:05:30.160 --> 00:05:33.879
it's Friday. Plus we got Pete
Callender, he'll be at eight oh five

60
00:05:34.079 --> 00:05:41.120
and uh uh we're gonna be chatting
with Stephen Kent uh today seven oh five.

61
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:43.360
That's confirmed, right, Ross,
I forgot to ask you if that

62
00:05:43.439 --> 00:05:46.319
was confirmed. Yeah, he was
moving that so so yeah, a couple

63
00:05:46.399 --> 00:05:49.759
guests, lots of stories, lots
of audio and uh we'll do it coming

64
00:05:49.839 --> 00:05:54.560
up here on the CaCO Day radio
program. The case is on ninety four

65
00:05:55.519 --> 00:06:03.560
PTI and the Triad and one six
one FM Talk and that triangle because uh

66
00:06:03.720 --> 00:06:09.120
six eighteen. That is so weird
because I getting I've already got an email

67
00:06:09.240 --> 00:06:13.319
from other folks. Ro I was
just trying to send me an email and

68
00:06:13.319 --> 00:06:17.120
it's not showing up. I just
tried it again, and I've already got

69
00:06:17.160 --> 00:06:23.240
Boston. Paul's already sent email,
and I emailed myself some stuff. I

70
00:06:23.279 --> 00:06:30.439
don't know what the heck. Man, Oh okay, all right, well

71
00:06:31.480 --> 00:06:36.800
well that works just fine. I'm
telling you what, man, crazy.

72
00:06:36.839 --> 00:06:41.120
I wonder if maybe it has something
to do with the update right there?

73
00:06:42.800 --> 00:06:46.560
Do do do? Okay? All
right, well whatever, I'll screw it

74
00:06:46.600 --> 00:06:55.439
that here in just a moment.
But thank you. Sorry, I'm having

75
00:06:55.439 --> 00:07:00.600
to do this because I absolutely need
this thing right now, so dude,

76
00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:03.879
do all right, Well, I'll
figure that out here in just a little

77
00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:08.959
bit, all right, so let
me let me actually hit on this because

78
00:07:08.959 --> 00:07:16.040
I guess I don't need that for
this right here. Uh, thank you,

79
00:07:16.600 --> 00:07:21.600
thank you. So San Francisco,
Uh, if you know San Francisco

80
00:07:21.600 --> 00:07:26.319
has been in the news this week, I think you probably saw the weird

81
00:07:27.160 --> 00:07:32.079
Dancy celebration thing that was going on
in San Francisco because the city council passed

82
00:07:32.079 --> 00:07:40.319
a resolution for a ceasefire, because
obviously that's something that is within the purview

83
00:07:40.439 --> 00:07:45.319
and control of the San Francisco City
Council. So you know, that whole

84
00:07:45.360 --> 00:07:54.839
thing just looked weird as hell.
But now this as apparently the safe Way,

85
00:07:55.399 --> 00:08:01.319
which is a West Coast grocery chain, announced plans to close a location,

86
00:08:01.600 --> 00:08:05.360
or actually several, but one of
which is in the Fillmore district of

87
00:08:05.399 --> 00:08:13.879
San Francisco, has been there for
forty years. Safeway didn't give a reason

88
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:18.439
for the closure, noting simply that
they would be reassigning employees at the location

89
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:26.040
to other locations. However, that
area of San Francisco is like ground zero

90
00:08:26.399 --> 00:08:33.360
for theft retail theft, other stores
closing as well, so that's what people

91
00:08:33.399 --> 00:08:39.039
are speculating it is. Well,
then they had folks when they heard the

92
00:08:39.080 --> 00:08:45.279
news show up at the city council
meeting so they could talk about why they

93
00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:48.279
don't think it should close, and
hint, hint, the reason is,

94
00:08:48.919 --> 00:08:54.480
I guess social justice. Kind of
listen to this woman here to speak about

95
00:08:54.519 --> 00:09:01.240
the closing of Safeway. I was
deeply angered to hear about the sudden enclosure

96
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:07.120
because it is not only unconstonable,
it is cruel, it is mean.

97
00:09:07.720 --> 00:09:11.639
It is disheartening to think that we
have to come here in twenty twenty four

98
00:09:11.279 --> 00:09:22.960
to defend food food justice. What
what is food justice? What I'm I'm

99
00:09:22.000 --> 00:09:26.679
trying to figure out because every there's
everything now is justice right. So we

100
00:09:26.759 --> 00:09:33.320
got work justice, we have higher
education justice, we have you know,

101
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:39.039
social justice obviously is the catch all
there. But you just throw justice behind

102
00:09:39.080 --> 00:09:46.480
something and it's you know, justice
in this usage means thing I should be

103
00:09:46.679 --> 00:09:52.559
entitled to and some justice you should
That's the compact, that's the contract.

104
00:09:52.559 --> 00:09:54.440
That's the agreement we made, even
though you know we didn't make it per

105
00:09:54.480 --> 00:10:00.639
se, but the one we live
by. So if you're talking about criminal

106
00:10:00.799 --> 00:10:05.960
justice, like you know, the
rules surrounding what the government must do as

107
00:10:07.039 --> 00:10:11.279
it pertains to searches and seizures and
the speediness of a trial and all of

108
00:10:11.320 --> 00:10:18.159
that, then I'm fine. But
you can't just justice everything right. That

109
00:10:18.279 --> 00:10:24.919
doesn't like it's some things are just
a preference you would prefer to go to

110
00:10:24.000 --> 00:10:28.240
that Safeway And I understand that I
you know, you close the grocery store

111
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.679
just down the street, that's gonna
be a little frustrating. But I don't

112
00:10:33.720 --> 00:10:39.240
think I'm entitled to it. But
when your brain is just cooked with all

113
00:10:39.279 --> 00:10:45.159
of this garbage, you think you're
entitled to it. And you know,

114
00:10:45.320 --> 00:10:48.639
so here's my question, And this
is what I kind of fall back on

115
00:10:48.720 --> 00:10:52.480
every time I see one of these
stories, because remember remember the term food

116
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:58.600
desert. We all learned that was
who is That was Michelle Obama right after

117
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.519
she because she had the initiative with
kids lunches, and then there was some

118
00:11:01.639 --> 00:11:07.399
food desert stuff like, ah,
look at these neighborhoods, there's no there's

119
00:11:07.399 --> 00:11:09.320
no food there, there's no grocery
store there. What are we going to

120
00:11:09.360 --> 00:11:15.919
do? And I want to say, was it New York City or maybe

121
00:11:15.919 --> 00:11:18.000
the State of New York where they
like to the way that they were going

122
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:24.480
to solve it was to mandate that
like convenience stores sell fresh fruit and vegetables

123
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.200
whether they wanted to or not.
I mean, they may want to go

124
00:11:28.200 --> 00:11:31.759
into the VP right around the corner
from the station, and they always have

125
00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.840
apples and bananas in there, and
that's probably because in the morning, people

126
00:11:35.960 --> 00:11:41.360
grab an apple or a banana,
but it's when they grab all the other

127
00:11:41.360 --> 00:11:43.240
stuff from the cooler and then they
go running out of there, then people

128
00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:48.559
start evaluating. So here's my question
for this woman and others who would sit

129
00:11:48.600 --> 00:11:58.600
here and talk about food justice,
which isn't a thing. Why don't you

130
00:11:58.679 --> 00:12:03.879
look at this map of where Safeway's
closing these stores? Right here's my get

131
00:12:03.960 --> 00:12:09.559
rich quick scheme for you. But
it only works if you honestly believe that

132
00:12:11.360 --> 00:12:13.559
Safeway's just doing it to be I
don't know, mean, or racist or

133
00:12:13.559 --> 00:12:18.120
whatever the allegation is. Why don't
you open it? Why don't you literally

134
00:12:18.240 --> 00:12:24.240
purchase the property and and do a
grocery store. I mean, it's all

135
00:12:24.240 --> 00:12:28.360
set up for it. It's gonna
have the coolers that you need, it's

136
00:12:28.399 --> 00:12:31.399
gonna have, you know, the
parking lot size you need. It's gonna

137
00:12:31.440 --> 00:12:35.039
have everything you need, and people
already know where it is, Like you

138
00:12:35.080 --> 00:12:41.000
don't you don't even have to do
branding, a branded advertising. Right,

139
00:12:41.080 --> 00:12:43.320
one day, it's a Safeway,
the next day it's I don't know,

140
00:12:45.600 --> 00:12:50.279
whatever you want to name it.
If if this is such a profitable endeavor,

141
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:56.759
one that is a necessity and you
believe that closing this is being done

142
00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:01.039
so for erroneous reasons so much that
you you had to go and you had

143
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:03.279
to ask the city council to stick
their nose in it, which they love

144
00:13:03.360 --> 00:13:09.399
to do out there. Open a
grocery store. Go ahead, look at

145
00:13:09.399 --> 00:13:15.639
that. Think of all the money
you make because now you don't have competition

146
00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.159
in that area because you just you
just said, oh, it's way too

147
00:13:18.159 --> 00:13:24.519
far. Great, that's great.
If if all things are equal and uh,

148
00:13:24.559 --> 00:13:28.960
and you know, you take some
of the other concerns out of the

149
00:13:28.559 --> 00:13:35.200
equation, which you're not even you're
not even mentioning uh when you're speaking to

150
00:13:35.200 --> 00:13:39.919
the council, and no one was
for from what I was reading in a

151
00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:48.600
longer article, then this is perfect. You have the ultimate turn key business

152
00:13:48.639 --> 00:13:52.919
based on how you perceive this situation. You'd be a fool not to jump

153
00:13:52.960 --> 00:13:56.600
on that. That'd be great.
Ross you want to open a chain of

154
00:13:56.639 --> 00:14:01.759
grocery stores, I got if there's
I got forty locations picked out, sounds

155
00:14:01.759 --> 00:14:05.519
like a good idea. Right.
By the way, the shrinkage will be

156
00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:11.000
a third of your product inventory from
several departments. That's what Target was talking

157
00:14:11.000 --> 00:14:16.799
about when they mentioned they were closing
and it's not far from here. They

158
00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:22.759
said that there were departments that saw
thirty three one third shrinkage. Now,

159
00:14:22.840 --> 00:14:28.720
I you know, I don't know
how they fully quantify that, but I

160
00:14:28.759 --> 00:14:31.960
think the point that they were trying
to make is, Yeah, this sucks

161
00:14:33.120 --> 00:14:35.799
and it's really hard to do business. Here's the other thing, and it's

162
00:14:35.840 --> 00:14:41.679
not just about the almighty dollar.
There's also and I know you probably wouldn't

163
00:14:41.679 --> 00:14:46.840
give them credit for this, there's
also the concern that I would have with

164
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:54.200
being able to maintain employees and keep
them safe. You gotta have employees,

165
00:14:54.240 --> 00:15:01.000
and you gotta you know, you
can't create a scenario where the liability is

166
00:15:01.080 --> 00:15:03.879
just too much, not just from
you know, stuff getting stolen, but

167
00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:11.960
people coming in there and and uh
doing something violent maybe, but no,

168
00:15:11.039 --> 00:15:20.600
we're gonna have food justice absolutely all
right, six twenty seven. I'm I've

169
00:15:20.679 --> 00:15:22.240
run out of room for justices.
And then people who go, well,

170
00:15:22.240 --> 00:15:28.600
why do you hate justice? Nobody
hates justice. In fact, I like

171
00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:31.399
it, and uh, I like
different forms of it. The stuff I

172
00:15:31.440 --> 00:15:35.919
laid out earlier, right with the
Constitution and stuff I'm a big fan of

173
00:15:35.919 --> 00:15:46.919
that. I'd sometimes get nostalgic for
Western justice. You know, it's it's

174
00:15:46.919 --> 00:15:52.519
not a thing that I necessarily think
we need a one bring back. But

175
00:15:52.080 --> 00:15:54.440
every now and then I see a
story where I'm like, you know,

176
00:15:54.559 --> 00:16:00.720
this calls for little Western justice,
and this story out of the out of

177
00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:07.759
Houston. We need, we need
all sorts of justice. And I don't

178
00:16:07.759 --> 00:16:12.159
care whether it's current Old West or
who the hell knows, but justice,

179
00:16:12.320 --> 00:16:17.519
uh something, something needs to be
done. And I'm warning you is a

180
00:16:17.559 --> 00:16:22.080
tough story. So I will I'll
only get into what I need to get

181
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.759
into, but you'll get the gist
of it. All right, we'll do

182
00:16:25.799 --> 00:16:30.720
that coming up after the news.
Hang on keeping you connected. This is

183
00:16:30.799 --> 00:16:34.960
ninety four or five WPTI and the
Triad and one six one FM Talk and

184
00:16:36.120 --> 00:16:44.919
the Triangles. All right, welcome
back. It is six thirty five Pcoday

185
00:16:45.080 --> 00:16:53.120
Radio program. Oh dear God,
this the story. A man is in

186
00:16:53.200 --> 00:16:59.440
custody and I guess it's unclear.
I mean, I'm assuming cops are looking

187
00:16:59.440 --> 00:17:12.720
for the others. But seven men
in Texas allegedly filmed themselves assaulting, sexually

188
00:17:12.759 --> 00:17:25.799
assaulting two toddlers. One of the
incidents because there's actually I think what five

189
00:17:25.880 --> 00:17:34.440
videos six videos seven videos. The
toddlers were allegedly assaulted in the bathroom of

190
00:17:34.519 --> 00:17:38.880
the galleria, which we've ever been
to. Houston. Gallerias is really really

191
00:17:40.680 --> 00:17:44.119
yeah's where it's. It's a very
nice area just off downtown. It's actually

192
00:17:44.119 --> 00:17:49.359
where the iHeart Houston studios are.
But they got big. I think it's

193
00:17:49.359 --> 00:17:56.079
the biggest ball in Texas and like
the second or third biggest in the country.

194
00:17:56.240 --> 00:18:06.640
So it's it's a very very busy
place. Arthur Fernandez, twenty nine,

195
00:18:06.759 --> 00:18:10.880
a Kiosk worker at the galleria,
is charged with assaulting the toddlers.

196
00:18:10.920 --> 00:18:14.759
By the way, the toddlers are
two. There's two two year olds.

197
00:18:15.160 --> 00:18:17.839
And in case you're wondering, all
right, well, where do you get

198
00:18:17.839 --> 00:18:25.160
two two year olds? The he
knows the parents and they also work at

199
00:18:25.160 --> 00:18:30.480
the mall. And when they're working
and they have to work and they need

200
00:18:30.519 --> 00:18:37.000
to do something with their kids.
Apparently one of the solutions is to leave

201
00:18:37.079 --> 00:18:45.519
their kids with this guy. The
FBI says they launched a probe last month

202
00:18:45.559 --> 00:18:52.680
after the videos were posted to an
online forum for such things. Initially,

203
00:18:52.799 --> 00:18:56.759
it was Australian officials who brought the
videos to the attention of the FBI.

204
00:18:59.119 --> 00:19:03.799
There's four videos. Each of the
four videos shared with authorities reportedly shows a

205
00:19:03.920 --> 00:19:08.359
different assault, and they take place
in different rooms and locations, one of

206
00:19:08.359 --> 00:19:11.960
which is the bathroom at the mall. And the way that they figured out

207
00:19:12.000 --> 00:19:17.319
who it was is they figured out
who the kid was first, and it's

208
00:19:17.599 --> 00:19:23.519
I'm not totally sure how, but
once they did, they showed some sanitized

209
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:30.160
video clips to the parents. And
you don't see the face alleged. I

210
00:19:30.160 --> 00:19:33.000
haven't seen the video obviously, but
this is the way they're describing it.

211
00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:38.960
He wears a bunch of bracelets,
Fernandez, and they're very identifiable. And

212
00:19:40.720 --> 00:19:44.720
mom immediately went, oh my gosh, just by looking at that arm with

213
00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:48.799
bracelets, I know who that is. And that's how we got there.

214
00:19:48.319 --> 00:19:56.799
It's I guess it's unclear what's up
with the other six. It's unclear if

215
00:19:56.799 --> 00:20:00.000
they've been able to identify them.
But again, like, that's the dude

216
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:03.799
you're gonna be going for. Can
we just can we just gen pop all

217
00:20:03.839 --> 00:20:11.039
of them? Just I gotta think
you go right to the top of the

218
00:20:11.440 --> 00:20:19.559
UH prisoner interest list, rolling in
with these types of charges there and then

219
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:25.440
you and then you do it allegedly, Fine, but but then you and

220
00:20:25.559 --> 00:20:30.400
then film it and and and share, and there's seven of you, there's

221
00:20:30.480 --> 00:20:37.440
seven of you. Just I can't
even I can't even beget Okay, everybody's

222
00:20:37.440 --> 00:20:42.480
got a different execution method. I
feel like Kim Jong un trying to decide

223
00:20:42.480 --> 00:20:48.000
if I'm gonna go with the the
missed missile or something a little slower here.

224
00:20:49.359 --> 00:20:52.839
I you know, I gotta I
gotta say I I'm not on team

225
00:20:53.200 --> 00:21:02.359
missile turned and missed. I think
that's too fast. Just well, you're

226
00:21:02.359 --> 00:21:04.480
just staring at it. You hear
the noise and then boom nothing. Now,

227
00:21:04.759 --> 00:21:11.799
no, no, no. The
FBI is working with the Harris County

228
00:21:11.799 --> 00:21:17.880
Sheriff's Office in Houston, and that's
that's all we really have right now.

229
00:21:17.920 --> 00:21:23.559
But I mean, that's that's as
bad as it gets right there, just

230
00:21:23.759 --> 00:21:26.680
in the in stuff. I'm I'm
literally like, I don't I don't know

231
00:21:26.720 --> 00:21:30.960
that I want to put that in
the prep. But people need to know,

232
00:21:32.400 --> 00:21:37.640
and now you do, all right, six thirty nine CaCO Day Radio

233
00:21:37.799 --> 00:21:45.200
program. The World Economic Forum yesterday
released a well, it was a video

234
00:21:45.400 --> 00:21:52.279
and a study and some graphs and
all sorts of stuff. Because obviously we

235
00:21:52.440 --> 00:21:57.000
everybody inherently trusts the World Economic Forum, and they do this thing at the

236
00:21:57.000 --> 00:22:00.720
beginning of the year and they want
to talk about, Hey, here's what

237
00:22:00.759 --> 00:22:07.039
you need to be looking out for. So the UN along with the World

238
00:22:07.079 --> 00:22:12.079
Economic Forum both do this, and
the UN is cited in this research.

239
00:22:15.119 --> 00:22:19.599
The Global Risks Report is what it
is called. So for twenty twenty four,

240
00:22:19.839 --> 00:22:26.680
according to the World Economic Forum,
based on I'm going to have fifteen

241
00:22:26.799 --> 00:22:30.880
hundred experts and then they have folks
over at the UN, what do you

242
00:22:32.160 --> 00:22:40.880
think is the biggest societal risk?
The biggest threat to society according to the

243
00:22:40.880 --> 00:22:45.319
World Economic Forum in the UN,
the biggest threat to society in twenty twenty

244
00:22:45.359 --> 00:22:48.720
four. Just yeah, you go
ahead and Ross, you want to guess

245
00:22:48.759 --> 00:22:52.640
what do you think is the biggest
societal risk for twenty twenty four? Climate

246
00:22:52.720 --> 00:22:56.720
change? You know, that would
be a good one. That's not it.

247
00:22:56.720 --> 00:22:59.920
It's not climate change. I would
have gone there too. No,

248
00:23:00.200 --> 00:23:04.519
the biggest societal risk according to the
World Economic Forum and the United Nations and

249
00:23:04.599 --> 00:23:17.400
fifteen hundred experts is misinformation on social
media. Misinformation and disinformation is actually what

250
00:23:17.400 --> 00:23:22.920
they wrote there. Yes, the
greatest threat from you know, Klaus and

251
00:23:23.039 --> 00:23:30.480
crew is that you're online and you
see something and I guess it's not they

252
00:23:32.920 --> 00:23:34.279
they don't want you seeing it.
I mean, can I get a little

253
00:23:34.279 --> 00:23:41.839
conspiratorial to here. Remember the UN
was the one who was immediately with COVID

254
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:47.200
tweeting out Chinese talking points, So
I think that's rich. The World Economic

255
00:23:47.200 --> 00:23:51.039
Forum, don't even get me started
with the stupid fifteen minute cities and stuff.

256
00:23:51.319 --> 00:23:55.359
Give me a break, you know, these are the These are John

257
00:23:55.440 --> 00:23:59.079
Kerry's buddies, which, by the
way, I saw something like the budget

258
00:23:59.079 --> 00:24:03.799
of his office is like ten million
dollars or so, what the hell is

259
00:24:03.839 --> 00:24:07.480
he doing? Doesn't he just go
to a couple of climate things every year?

260
00:24:07.519 --> 00:24:08.559
What's he doing with that money?
Maybe it's not ten, maybe it's

261
00:24:08.599 --> 00:24:15.880
like eight or something. So,
uh yeah, there you go. Biggest

262
00:24:15.920 --> 00:24:21.960
threat I you know, some would
say, some would say as I.

263
00:24:22.200 --> 00:24:23.200
And by the way, let me
look, uh, let me look the

264
00:24:23.279 --> 00:24:29.799
list down here. So first is
misinformation disinformation? Number two ROSSI were almost

265
00:24:29.839 --> 00:24:33.039
right. Number two is extreme weather
events, which I think that's that's under

266
00:24:33.039 --> 00:24:40.279
the climate change umbrella. Cyber and
security, you know, admittedly that's that's

267
00:24:40.519 --> 00:24:45.920
that is a big deal. Cyber
stuff, security, all the all the

268
00:24:45.920 --> 00:24:48.319
different stuff, especially with like with
you know, China trying to hack us

269
00:24:48.359 --> 00:24:55.279
thousands of times a day. Somebody
got these securities in exchange commissioned Twitter account

270
00:24:55.319 --> 00:24:57.119
the other day. Is that what
they mean by disinformation? I don't know.

271
00:24:59.720 --> 00:25:04.079
H And then fifth, you have
to go to number five armed conflict.

272
00:25:06.279 --> 00:25:11.559
I don't know if you from a
world perspective right now, I think

273
00:25:11.599 --> 00:25:18.160
that's insane that that's number five.
Iran just took an oil tanker and it's

274
00:25:18.279 --> 00:25:26.039
kind of ours Iran took. I'm
gonna repeat this, Iran hijacked an oil

275
00:25:26.119 --> 00:25:32.319
tanker. Not Hooty Rebels, not
Bob from Portland that guy again, but

276
00:25:32.720 --> 00:25:37.599
the Iranian guy. And they're bragging
about it. And remember these are the

277
00:25:37.640 --> 00:25:45.720
same pieces of garbage that we you
know, this president keeps trying to release

278
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.960
funds to right the frozen funds,
and then he does it, and what

279
00:25:49.000 --> 00:25:55.599
do they do. They seize an
oil tanker that I don't know if it's

280
00:25:55.640 --> 00:26:00.039
I it's America, it's it might
be American owned but Greek flagged or the

281
00:26:00.079 --> 00:26:04.079
other way around. But my but
my point is they knew what was up.

282
00:26:04.880 --> 00:26:07.720
You know, these ships, obviously
you can tell what the name of

283
00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:11.200
the ship is. It's very easy
to look up, especially if you're a

284
00:26:11.200 --> 00:26:15.079
government and they're just like, yeah, screw you, what are you gonna

285
00:26:15.079 --> 00:26:19.160
do about it? This is where
we find ourselves. All right, six

286
00:26:19.279 --> 00:26:23.000
forty four KCO Day Radio Program.
I do have one other grocery store story.

287
00:26:23.039 --> 00:26:26.200
I probably should have mentioned that,
and that's in North Carolina, So

288
00:26:26.279 --> 00:26:33.960
let's do that. Coming up and
Stephen Stephen Kennell joined us from bounding into

289
00:26:34.000 --> 00:26:37.880
Comics. That's at seven oh five
and Pete Calendar at eight o five.

290
00:26:37.960 --> 00:26:41.960
So busy Friday. Hang on.
This is one o six one FM Talk

291
00:26:41.000 --> 00:26:45.799
in the Triangle and News Talk ninety
four to five w PTI and the Triad.

292
00:26:49.759 --> 00:26:53.480
All right, good morning everybody.
It is six fifty one KCO Day

293
00:26:53.640 --> 00:27:00.480
Radio Program. It's been a been
a fun week for some folks like Hunter

294
00:27:00.519 --> 00:27:06.000
Biden, obviously the result of the
insanity going on when he showed up at

295
00:27:06.039 --> 00:27:12.839
the carrying over whether they're gonna request
contempt charges and that whole awkward. As

296
00:27:12.839 --> 00:27:18.119
soon as Green Connor Ssilm Green started
talking, he's kind of got up and

297
00:27:18.240 --> 00:27:26.640
left. I'm assuming he thought she
was gonna say something because Nancy Mace did.

298
00:27:26.839 --> 00:27:33.960
But the whole thing was just strange. And then of course the the

299
00:27:33.079 --> 00:27:37.400
question, and everyone's like, ah, listen to this reporter's question. I

300
00:27:37.440 --> 00:27:42.400
don't is that a reporter? I
guess I never really saw who asked it.

301
00:27:42.440 --> 00:27:47.920
That just sounds like some smart ass. It's funny, don't get me

302
00:27:47.920 --> 00:27:49.680
wrong, but I you know,
describing that as like one of the pool

303
00:27:49.799 --> 00:27:57.279
reporters that didn't I didn't sit right
by the way, here is that quick

304
00:27:57.319 --> 00:28:03.279
little question from the reporter or individual
or whomever it is. Why And let

305
00:28:03.319 --> 00:28:07.519
me make a statement, crack you
normally smoke, mister Biden. I mean,

306
00:28:07.519 --> 00:28:11.319
he kind of has a reportery voice. I don't, but I got

307
00:28:11.319 --> 00:28:15.599
a hard time saying that's a that's
a reporter there at the very least it's

308
00:28:15.599 --> 00:28:19.359
a reporter's not acting like a reporter. But when is that new up in

309
00:28:19.519 --> 00:28:26.599
Washington? I And also, I
don't, I don't know. Do you

310
00:28:26.640 --> 00:28:30.359
think you think Hunter Biden shows up
somebody's got it like the hooker She's like,

311
00:28:30.359 --> 00:28:33.519
oh, I brought a bunch of
crack. And then he opens it

312
00:28:33.559 --> 00:28:36.160
and it's like the night it's not
the right kind of crack, and he's

313
00:28:36.200 --> 00:28:41.000
like, no, I I just
couldn't because I feel like, if if

314
00:28:41.000 --> 00:28:45.680
you're addicted to crack, and crack
shows up, and again this is if

315
00:28:45.720 --> 00:28:52.720
you're addicted to it, you're probably
not. You know, well, what's

316
00:28:52.759 --> 00:28:56.839
the what's the providence of the of
this crack? Is it aged? Is

317
00:28:56.880 --> 00:29:00.599
it artisan? Is it free range? Is it flavored? None of these

318
00:29:00.720 --> 00:29:04.880
You're just like, oh my gosh, crack. Right, So I don't

319
00:29:04.880 --> 00:29:10.359
know that that question is particularly useful. By the way, here is I

320
00:29:10.480 --> 00:29:14.440
mentioned Mace and all of that.
Here is Mace dressing him down in that

321
00:29:14.519 --> 00:29:18.319
here there is but Hunter Biden,
you are too afraid to show up for

322
00:29:18.440 --> 00:29:22.759
a deposition, and you still can't
today. I believe that Hunter Biden should

323
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:26.000
be held completely in contempt. I
think he should be hauled off to jail

324
00:29:26.079 --> 00:29:30.119
right now, because it wasn't long
ago two of my friends on the other

325
00:29:30.200 --> 00:29:34.720
side of the isle that you also
believed in the power of a congressional subpoena.

326
00:29:34.839 --> 00:29:37.720
Not long ago at all. You
believe in holding those who refuse to

327
00:29:37.720 --> 00:29:44.880
comply with congressional subpoena accountable. And
I stood with each and every one of

328
00:29:44.920 --> 00:29:48.000
you. I am the only member
in this room today who has held a

329
00:29:48.000 --> 00:29:52.079
member of my own party in contempt
of Congress for not showing up for a

330
00:29:52.200 --> 00:29:56.240
subpoena. And I see nothing but
complete hypocrisy on the other side of the

331
00:29:56.240 --> 00:30:02.039
aisle, all right, and she's
not wrong. And again this is the

332
00:30:02.119 --> 00:30:04.839
game, right, the game is
I want to testify, but only in

333
00:30:04.920 --> 00:30:10.400
public, knowing that that will limit
the ability to get into some things.

334
00:30:10.839 --> 00:30:15.400
And then when you try to do
the the deposition, the private side of

335
00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:18.920
it. And yes, I understand
it's rot with problems. You saw it

336
00:30:18.960 --> 00:30:25.200
where all these J six committee members
were leaking stuff right to the press.

337
00:30:25.839 --> 00:30:29.480
You saw that. You saw all
of the leaks during the Trump administration.

338
00:30:29.680 --> 00:30:33.200
Like, I get it, Adam
Schiff going, oh man, you should

339
00:30:33.200 --> 00:30:36.160
see what I'm looking at. Like
you, if you could see what I'm

340
00:30:36.160 --> 00:30:37.240
looking at, you'd just be like, ah, he's you know, put

341
00:30:37.279 --> 00:30:41.200
him in the goolog right, so
you're going to get that. However,

342
00:30:42.759 --> 00:30:48.880
it is the very same process that's
Chase six folks used right where they'd interview

343
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.200
one, you know, in person, But before that took place, there

344
00:30:52.279 --> 00:31:00.279
was also a deposition and then occasionally
there was follow up meetings too with some

345
00:31:00.319 --> 00:31:03.559
of the people who testified. If
they were providing information that was not for

346
00:31:03.640 --> 00:31:10.640
public consumption, i e. Protected
or classified in some way. Well,

347
00:31:10.720 --> 00:31:15.480
then it's Taylor Green's turn, and
this is when booped, they're up before

348
00:31:15.559 --> 00:31:19.240
she starts saying anything, I recognized
miss Green from Georgia. For now,

349
00:31:19.279 --> 00:31:23.079
you stand up right there, thank
you, mister chairman. Excuse me,

350
00:31:23.240 --> 00:31:33.480
Hunter, Apparently you're afraid of my
words? And why all I like to

351
00:31:33.480 --> 00:31:37.279
reclaim my time? All right,
all right? So yeah, yeah,

352
00:31:37.279 --> 00:31:38.519
the whole thing was strange. Why
am I bringing this up? Well,

353
00:31:38.559 --> 00:31:45.240
we found out yesterday that the actual
trial for the latest series of charges,

354
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:51.200
not this committee, but the actual
judicial side of things is probably going to

355
00:31:51.200 --> 00:31:53.200
be it's going to be in July, end of June, early July,

356
00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:57.200
so we got got some time to
get there. And you know, we're

357
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:04.839
under three hundred days from the uh
the election too, so like it's it's

358
00:32:04.920 --> 00:32:09.599
just it's it's baffling to me.
It's crazy to me that we're gonna literally

359
00:32:09.680 --> 00:32:16.240
find ourselves in this same window timeline
on a lot of this as we found

360
00:32:16.240 --> 00:32:22.920
ourselves ahead of the last presidential election, right because if that if that kicks

361
00:32:22.039 --> 00:32:29.200
off in July, and you know, it'll probably be a continuance it'll probably

362
00:32:29.240 --> 00:32:31.599
be some other stuff. It could
well play right to in front of the

363
00:32:31.640 --> 00:32:37.160
election. Well, and then we're
almost to the anniversary four years prior to

364
00:32:37.200 --> 00:32:38.880
that date, where social media is
like, nah, you don't need to

365
00:32:38.880 --> 00:32:45.920
see this, and you at the
account you New York would it post or

366
00:32:45.960 --> 00:32:46.880
whatever you call your said, nah, you don't need to be able to

367
00:32:46.920 --> 00:32:52.640
post stuff. So that's how long
this is going on. And I saw

368
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:57.240
Jill Biden in an interview refer to
what's happening to Hunter as quote cruel.

369
00:33:00.599 --> 00:33:05.799
I'm sure it's not fun. But
also there's the you know, there's the

370
00:33:05.839 --> 00:33:12.119
whole consequences for one's actions. If
in fact, what is out there and

371
00:33:12.119 --> 00:33:22.680
what is you know, literally portrayed
really within his own digital fingerprint right now,

372
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:24.799
the political side of it, that
could be cruel. But also this

373
00:33:24.960 --> 00:33:35.599
is a very public family, and
if Hunter wanted to use the notoriety of

374
00:33:36.160 --> 00:33:42.200
the public nature of his father's office, which even the White House admits,

375
00:33:42.319 --> 00:33:45.680
you know, look, if Joe
comes over and asks about the weather,

376
00:33:45.759 --> 00:33:50.000
that's you know, that's just dad
helping out. Obviously they know the benefit

377
00:33:50.039 --> 00:33:54.920
of that. So I'm sorry,
no, that's not gonna work here,

378
00:33:55.720 --> 00:33:59.720
but we will see how that plays
out. All right, lots to get

379
00:33:59.720 --> 00:34:06.039
into it the world woke Hollywood.
We'll do that with Stephen ken next right

380
00:34:06.039 --> 00:34:17.320
after news. That's first here on
the CaCO Day Radio program. All Right,

381
00:34:17.360 --> 00:34:22.000
good morning everybody, Happy Friday,
as we get rolling into hour number

382
00:34:22.039 --> 00:34:28.639
two and god, look like it'll
be as severe as last weekend, but

383
00:34:29.000 --> 00:34:34.519
definitely as you can tell, some
some weather bruin coming up at seven five.

384
00:34:34.920 --> 00:34:39.480
We'll chat with Race Agic from the
Weather Channel get the lowdown on that.

385
00:34:39.679 --> 00:34:45.880
But I want to welcome in Stephen
Kent from bounding into comics or go

386
00:34:45.960 --> 00:34:52.480
to on all things Hollywood and woke
and maybe it's just some cool stuff.

387
00:34:52.599 --> 00:34:54.800
In fact, let me can I
start there? What's some cool stuff before

388
00:34:54.840 --> 00:35:00.360
we get into all the stuff that
irritates me that's on the Horai and that

389
00:35:00.400 --> 00:35:05.960
we're looking forward to. Well,
it won't be Saturday for the houfy pirates.

390
00:35:05.960 --> 00:35:08.320
I hope you guys are having a
better a better day than those guys.

391
00:35:08.639 --> 00:35:13.000
Good morning to you both. What
is cool? Right now? We

392
00:35:13.079 --> 00:35:17.559
talked a little bit about Percy Jackson
last week, and you know, I

393
00:35:19.519 --> 00:35:22.480
still got to reiterate, just for
for everybody tuning in here, that you

394
00:35:22.519 --> 00:35:27.400
know, the Percy Jackson series on
Disney Plus for those of you who have

395
00:35:27.440 --> 00:35:32.719
not canceled your subscription and refused,
is a really really good show. Interesting

396
00:35:32.840 --> 00:35:37.719
on the on the front for you
understanding Greek myth uh. You know,

397
00:35:37.880 --> 00:35:42.960
kids are watching it and enjoying the
show. It's not really that steeped in

398
00:35:43.159 --> 00:35:46.599
woke politics, which is a nice
refreshing trend. And I would recommend it

399
00:35:46.599 --> 00:35:52.960
to anybody. Okay, all right, and then you hold out more hope

400
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:57.199
I think than me. But I'm
just I'm just I don't know. I'm

401
00:35:57.239 --> 00:36:01.239
just a curmudgeon for some of these
Star Wars projects. And I think that,

402
00:36:01.480 --> 00:36:07.280
yeah, we get, we get
when when we're listening to the director

403
00:36:07.519 --> 00:36:12.639
of the next Star Wars movie and
it seems to me she's never watched any

404
00:36:12.639 --> 00:36:15.000
of the other ones. That's easy
to get irritated about. But if we

405
00:36:15.079 --> 00:36:19.039
know one thing, they're not just
doing, you know, one Star Wars

406
00:36:19.079 --> 00:36:22.679
movie, they are clogging the pipeline
with Star Wars projects. So is there

407
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:29.400
anything out there that people should have
a little hope for. Yeah, So

408
00:36:30.000 --> 00:36:36.480
I'm still blown away by the market
success of The Mandalorian. That is a

409
00:36:36.519 --> 00:36:42.199
show which for me, I feel
like dragged a lot of people back to

410
00:36:42.280 --> 00:36:47.760
watching Star Wars, enjoying just the
very basics of that universe. The Empire

411
00:36:49.000 --> 00:36:52.599
is in pieces. You've got a
Mandalorian bounty hunter, You've got a cute

412
00:36:52.599 --> 00:36:57.679
creature from the species of Yoda that
he's trying to protect. So the announcement

413
00:36:57.679 --> 00:37:01.599
that they're going to be doing this
movie the Mandalorian grogu directed by Jon Favreau,

414
00:37:01.639 --> 00:37:07.079
who noticeably Didney iron Man movies,
and then most of the Mandalorian this

415
00:37:07.239 --> 00:37:10.480
is them, I think grasping for
what has worked, because the sequel trilogy

416
00:37:10.559 --> 00:37:15.559
featuring Ray and Kylo Ren was a
complete disaster. In this movie that's going

417
00:37:15.599 --> 00:37:22.880
to be directed by documentarian Charmino bit
Chenoi, is also going to be a

418
00:37:22.039 --> 00:37:28.880
disaster, not just because of her
background and her political intentions with that movie,

419
00:37:28.920 --> 00:37:32.239
but because the character is just not
popular. But the Mandalorian grog who

420
00:37:32.280 --> 00:37:37.039
are this is the Way is the
new May the Force be with you.

421
00:37:37.519 --> 00:37:40.440
So I'm excited about this movie,
and I also have to profess excitement for

422
00:37:40.800 --> 00:37:45.000
the Ahsoka show that Dave Feloni,
who I think is the heir to George

423
00:37:45.079 --> 00:37:51.039
Lucas, is getting a second season
on Disney plus that was announced this past

424
00:37:51.079 --> 00:37:57.800
week also very exciting and a wonderful
show. The Hollywood is And I just

425
00:37:57.840 --> 00:38:00.880
want to make sure I'm citing my
sources here. Let me flip back over

426
00:38:00.920 --> 00:38:07.320
to this. Hollywood is obviously dealing
with there in crisis. And you know,

427
00:38:07.400 --> 00:38:10.400
even with everything we saw with Disney, I believe what Disney was number

428
00:38:10.440 --> 00:38:15.199
one right, They were the most
profitable last year, even though they had

429
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:17.880
all of those big flops, which
is saying something, but I saw it

430
00:38:17.960 --> 00:38:27.599
quoted here we go that Hollywood has
seen a twenty percent dip and care continues

431
00:38:27.639 --> 00:38:30.199
to see a twenty percent dip in
moviegoers. Basically, you had you know,

432
00:38:30.280 --> 00:38:35.119
COVID, everything did its thing,
and the numbers just never came back

433
00:38:36.239 --> 00:38:38.679
in what they were, so you
got eighty percent of it back. That's

434
00:38:38.719 --> 00:38:43.719
it. Do you think that we're
just stuck there and it's self inflicted?

435
00:38:43.800 --> 00:38:45.920
Do you think? Or it's just
the further evolution of people going, I

436
00:38:45.920 --> 00:38:50.880
got a big TV and a soundbar, why would I go to a theater?

437
00:38:50.960 --> 00:38:53.159
All? Wait, so what are
we doing here? Yeah? I

438
00:38:53.320 --> 00:38:57.840
just got myself a big TV and
a soundbar like yesterday, Casey, you

439
00:38:57.920 --> 00:39:01.920
must be spying. But this No, this is the continued fracturing of the

440
00:39:01.960 --> 00:39:08.960
media environment. It's impacting everything from
legacy movie theaters and cinema to radio and

441
00:39:09.000 --> 00:39:14.320
now even podcasting. Now even podcasting
is just kind of now on the decline

442
00:39:15.079 --> 00:39:17.840
again after a decade of looking like
it was going to take over the world.

443
00:39:17.920 --> 00:39:25.159
The world is always changing and Hollywood
does not have a stranglehold on film

444
00:39:25.280 --> 00:39:30.320
anymore. You know, you've got
insurgent studios like Angel Studios, who made

445
00:39:30.320 --> 00:39:35.079
that wonderful movie The Sound of Freedom, who are making their own movies,

446
00:39:35.119 --> 00:39:40.480
handling their own distribution. They just
announced about a month ago that they are

447
00:39:40.480 --> 00:39:46.320
going to be doing a movie set
in Nazi Germany focused on the rebellion,

448
00:39:46.639 --> 00:39:52.360
the underground rebellion of the Christian Church
in Nazi Germany, which is going to

449
00:39:52.360 --> 00:39:57.159
be like a really exciting movie for
Christians in America who are really interested in

450
00:39:57.159 --> 00:40:01.280
that story. And I'm excited ab
that. And so the more rebel studios

451
00:40:01.280 --> 00:40:05.920
you have out there being willing to
put their money where their mouth is,

452
00:40:06.119 --> 00:40:08.639
make movies, make stories. Guys. The guys at the Daily Wire are

453
00:40:08.639 --> 00:40:14.519
doing this too. They had that
comedy Ladyballers on the on the Daily Wire,

454
00:40:14.599 --> 00:40:17.159
which was like a throwback to Adam
Sandler's style comedy of the early two

455
00:40:17.199 --> 00:40:22.519
thousands. These things are worth investing
in, but it is going to take

456
00:40:22.719 --> 00:40:27.559
your investment. If you're tired of
what Hollywood is peddling, you're going to

457
00:40:27.679 --> 00:40:31.280
have to support somebody else. So
that's that's one way you can do it.

458
00:40:31.360 --> 00:40:35.960
You know, Angel Studios movies,
Daily Wire movies, they're good stuff.

459
00:40:36.400 --> 00:40:38.480
Yeah, And here's what I'm just
going to irritate some people because I

460
00:40:38.519 --> 00:40:42.719
think they're going to not understand the
point that I'm trying to make. But

461
00:40:43.559 --> 00:40:50.639
it there. I've seen some in
the past. I've seen movies that were

462
00:40:51.000 --> 00:40:55.000
definitely positioned as correction movies like Oh, Hollywood won't do this, movie will

463
00:40:55.000 --> 00:41:00.840
do it. And it's not that
the subject matter of the plot problematic.

464
00:41:00.000 --> 00:41:07.960
It's that it gets it gets a
little too inside baseball on the religious stuff.

465
00:41:07.039 --> 00:41:12.719
And this is why people are gonna
get irritated. And as a result,

466
00:41:13.039 --> 00:41:21.440
I think it potentially does a disservice
to establishing some studios and some producers

467
00:41:21.480 --> 00:41:25.519
out there who would be more inclined
not to do stuff that leans into religion,

468
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.639
but also to not do anything that
leads into the religion. Of woke

469
00:41:30.760 --> 00:41:36.079
politics, and it is that middle
ground where if people people forget who made

470
00:41:36.079 --> 00:41:39.159
it and they just enjoy it.
I think that would be good. But

471
00:41:39.280 --> 00:41:44.199
like Kirk Cameron did a couple a
couple of movies. I like Kirk Cameron

472
00:41:44.199 --> 00:41:49.000
too. We did a couple of
movies and I saw people who probably would

473
00:41:49.000 --> 00:41:52.480
have liked the content but didn't what
they felt they were going to get preached

474
00:41:52.519 --> 00:41:55.679
at. I don't know that that
was the case, but that's the impression.

475
00:41:57.320 --> 00:42:00.760
Then. I don't know that you
have as broad an audience as you

476
00:42:00.840 --> 00:42:06.760
potentially could have if only just to
return to the middle ground, which we've

477
00:42:06.800 --> 00:42:12.039
long abandoned. Yeah, and the
middle ground is when someone just makes a

478
00:42:12.119 --> 00:42:16.280
movie and they let the message speak
for itself through the story being worthwhile.

479
00:42:16.719 --> 00:42:22.239
I don't want to bore your audience
with philosophy. But I was reading C.

480
00:42:22.400 --> 00:42:23.360
S. Lewis the other day and
C. S. Lewis had a

481
00:42:23.360 --> 00:42:28.280
bunch of essays about this very subject, about whether or not it was the

482
00:42:28.360 --> 00:42:31.000
duty of a storyteller. And again, this is the guy who wrote the

483
00:42:31.039 --> 00:42:35.280
Chronicles of Narnia and the Lion,
the Witch and the Wardrobe about whether or

484
00:42:35.280 --> 00:42:40.639
not it was most important to entertain
or enlighten your audience. And his takeaway

485
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:45.760
on this and his essays were that
it is the duty of a storyteller to

486
00:42:45.039 --> 00:42:51.440
not insert a moral into a story
unless they have figured out the story.

487
00:42:51.440 --> 00:42:55.360
A moral will present itself when you
are telling a story that is worthwhile for

488
00:42:55.840 --> 00:42:59.960
the human spirit. And I still
cling to this, like, you don't

489
00:43:00.159 --> 00:43:02.400
start with the moral and then write
the story. You do it the other

490
00:43:02.400 --> 00:43:07.360
way around. Speaking to the Daily
Wires movies a little bit, you know,

491
00:43:07.400 --> 00:43:10.239
they've they've had some hits and misses
on making their own films because sometimes

492
00:43:10.280 --> 00:43:15.559
they start with a message. The
Ladyboller's comedy that I mentioned started with a

493
00:43:15.599 --> 00:43:20.360
message about the transgender controversies that we're
dealing with and kind of making fun of

494
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:24.119
wokism, and then so the movie
has to be built around that like scalf

495
00:43:24.280 --> 00:43:28.920
scaffolding, and it's not going to
be as good as when they do it.

496
00:43:28.960 --> 00:43:32.039
Did a movie called Run the Hide
Fight, which was just simply a

497
00:43:32.119 --> 00:43:37.760
movie about surviving a school shooting,
and that was a that was an action

498
00:43:37.960 --> 00:43:44.480
thriller that was devoid of politics.
It was devoid of politics. It was

499
00:43:44.519 --> 00:43:49.440
an action thriller, and that's what
conservatives are often looking for They're not looking

500
00:43:49.480 --> 00:43:53.400
for a conservative message, They're looking
for a story. And that's kind of

501
00:43:53.440 --> 00:43:58.559
hard for liberals to square because they
always want it to be message first.

502
00:43:59.280 --> 00:44:01.880
Yeah, no, I clearly,
and I think that that is a That

503
00:44:01.960 --> 00:44:06.559
is a very good example of it. It's don't I don't want to feel

504
00:44:06.559 --> 00:44:09.480
on getting preached at even if I
one hundred percent agree with what it is.

505
00:44:09.639 --> 00:44:15.000
And I think I have to think
that's where most people's heads are in

506
00:44:15.000 --> 00:44:16.800
this. But who knows it is. You know, we tend to overcorrect

507
00:44:16.880 --> 00:44:22.360
when politics is involved, and will
will gladly do the opposite while still doing

508
00:44:22.400 --> 00:44:28.960
the same thing against somebody we feel
is doing wrong, and we again ignore

509
00:44:29.000 --> 00:44:32.559
that middle ground. I think a
good example of this is actually the Barbie

510
00:44:32.639 --> 00:44:37.320
Movie. The Barbie Movie was a
huge success this past year. I've never

511
00:44:37.400 --> 00:44:42.360
seen lines for a movie quite like
that, or as many butts and seats

512
00:44:42.400 --> 00:44:45.719
as when I went with my wife
and my daughter and the movie was a

513
00:44:45.719 --> 00:44:49.280
success. It was also pretty funny. But there's also the monologue at the

514
00:44:49.400 --> 00:44:52.639
end of the movie where one of
the main characters goes on a monologue about

515
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:58.360
how impossible it is to be a
woman and it is like the definition of

516
00:44:58.440 --> 00:45:01.199
preaching. Nobody talks like that in
the real world. Again, we're talking

517
00:45:01.199 --> 00:45:06.239
about a Barbie movie here, but
people don't talk like that. They don't

518
00:45:06.320 --> 00:45:10.599
have that good of a stream of
consciousness to be perfectly articulate and say everything

519
00:45:10.639 --> 00:45:15.039
that it is to be hard or
everything that is hard about being a woman.

520
00:45:15.840 --> 00:45:21.159
And so that moment is not one
of the great parts of the Barbie

521
00:45:21.159 --> 00:45:24.840
movie. What works about the Barbie
movie is it's a movie about the realities

522
00:45:24.880 --> 00:45:30.679
of tender in a time period where
men and women are losing sight of reality

523
00:45:31.119 --> 00:45:35.760
and we don't even know what a
woman is in the public culture anymore.

524
00:45:36.159 --> 00:45:42.239
Barbie's actually quite clear. It's very
clear about men and women and their differences,

525
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:45.039
some of their weaknesses and their strengths. And then that monologue comes out

526
00:45:45.039 --> 00:45:49.360
of nowhere and it's like, hey, hey, if you didn't already get

527
00:45:49.360 --> 00:45:52.559
what this movie is about, here
it is spoon fed to you. Nobody

528
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:58.159
likes that. Nobody likes watching movies
like that. I will say, and

529
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:00.280
I haven't seen the end of it, but you hit one of the streaming

530
00:46:00.320 --> 00:46:05.280
services, was it on Max or
something a couple of weeks ago, and

531
00:46:05.800 --> 00:46:09.880
I did watch about I probably got
about an hour into it, and I

532
00:46:09.920 --> 00:46:14.880
didn't stop it because I, you
know, for any other reason except I

533
00:46:14.880 --> 00:46:16.880
can't remember what it was. I
realized I was running late for something.

534
00:46:16.960 --> 00:46:19.960
I'm like, i'll finish it.
I haven't finished it, so I didn't

535
00:46:19.960 --> 00:46:22.840
hear the monologue. But I know
that I know that people were a little

536
00:46:22.920 --> 00:46:27.880
up in arms. Other than a
couple little things in the hour that I

537
00:46:27.960 --> 00:46:31.559
did watch it, You're right,
it really was just it was. It

538
00:46:31.599 --> 00:46:35.199
was a fine movie. It's not
my cup of tea, per se,

539
00:46:35.280 --> 00:46:37.519
but you know, it wasn't as
preachy as I've seen. So I'm sorry

540
00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:40.760
to hear that that monologue was at
the end, but I'm also glad I

541
00:46:40.840 --> 00:46:45.280
missed it. Yeah, and it's
it is. It is one of those

542
00:46:45.320 --> 00:46:50.599
things you can take or leave.
Kevin Costner was talking about that monologue at

543
00:46:50.639 --> 00:46:54.039
the Golden Globes and said that it's
something important that everybody needs to hear,

544
00:46:54.480 --> 00:47:00.000
and it's that very attitude. The
people need to hear that, this attitude

545
00:47:00.320 --> 00:47:05.840
that got Charmin obeyed. Chenoi,
who's directing the Star Wars movie, into

546
00:47:05.880 --> 00:47:09.679
so much hot water with the audience
because in her monologue that she had given

547
00:47:09.840 --> 00:47:15.599
in twenty fifteen about enjoying making men
uncomfortable, which in context was not unfair.

548
00:47:15.679 --> 00:47:22.320
She was talking about acid attacks on
women in Pakistan, but that she

549
00:47:22.920 --> 00:47:25.519
was saying that monologue that men in
this part of the world, men are

550
00:47:25.519 --> 00:47:30.039
broken, and when they watch my
movie, they will see a message that

551
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:34.079
they need and they will look in
the mirror and realize how bad they are.

552
00:47:34.559 --> 00:47:38.039
And my message in response to that
is then that people don't think like

553
00:47:38.159 --> 00:47:44.719
that. You don't show somebody a
well crafted monologue and then go, Okay,

554
00:47:44.800 --> 00:47:46.840
now go look in the mirror and
see everything that's evil about you.

555
00:47:49.039 --> 00:47:54.119
We are more inspired to realize when
we are wrong when we see something relatable

556
00:47:55.000 --> 00:48:00.199
in characters on screen, and when
we see false and relatable flaw in characters

557
00:48:00.239 --> 00:48:07.360
who we don't normally identify with.
Building empathy is a lot more complicated than

558
00:48:07.440 --> 00:48:10.519
doing a self righteous monologue, you
know, And that just reminds me mentioned

559
00:48:10.519 --> 00:48:15.559
the Golden Globes. It was either
the Golden Globes or one of the recent

560
00:48:15.559 --> 00:48:21.119
awards shop we're two of the Barbie
movie actors, a black female and an

561
00:48:21.159 --> 00:48:23.960
Asian male, so one of the
Barbie's one of the Kens. They were

562
00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:29.760
up there talking about they were sitting
there and they were like demeaning white people.

563
00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:31.519
It was just so weird, and
that clip went around there. So

564
00:48:31.519 --> 00:48:37.159
if you haven't seen Barbie and then
you see that at that point, like

565
00:48:37.239 --> 00:48:40.719
you're not going to give it a
chance because it's the snow white crap.

566
00:48:40.840 --> 00:48:45.800
Again. It's like the studio.
Do the studios ever pull them aside or

567
00:48:45.840 --> 00:48:49.280
are they just not able to control
actors because I don't know, man,

568
00:48:50.239 --> 00:48:52.519
I don't know. I guess I
have an old world mindset where you've got

569
00:48:52.559 --> 00:48:58.599
like studio bosses at a really tight
level of control and actors who don't want

570
00:48:58.599 --> 00:49:01.039
to screw anything up. But the
thing about the social media eras everybody has

571
00:49:01.079 --> 00:49:06.719
a platform and their own audience,
and when you're a movie star or even

572
00:49:06.760 --> 00:49:12.559
a well known director, you can
shame and overpower the studio system by sicking

573
00:49:12.599 --> 00:49:15.679
your people on them on Twitter.
So if they, you know, fire

574
00:49:15.760 --> 00:49:21.119
you or something for being political in
the public square, you can then shame

575
00:49:21.199 --> 00:49:24.440
them in public back, and then
the power is sort of balanced out.

576
00:49:24.480 --> 00:49:28.400
Now you could say that that is
a good thing, but that didn't work

577
00:49:28.440 --> 00:49:32.679
for Gina Carano who was fired from
Disney and the Mandalorian. Yeah, for

578
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:37.599
having the audacity to suggest that the
Holocaust was bad and we shouldn't treat people

579
00:49:38.239 --> 00:49:44.320
like that in the United States when
it comes to politics. It's a rule

580
00:49:44.360 --> 00:49:46.559
that is only applied in one direction, and that was that was going to

581
00:49:46.599 --> 00:49:50.920
be my point. So if you
don't want them talking politics and you want

582
00:49:50.960 --> 00:49:52.840
to just say, hey, if
you're working for us, you're not doing

583
00:49:52.920 --> 00:49:58.039
I'm fine with that, right,
you're protecting your investment. But as you

584
00:49:58.159 --> 00:50:00.719
just mentioned, that's not how it
goes Steve, and I'm out of time

585
00:50:00.800 --> 00:50:06.079
unfortunately. But see we got some
happy stuff. Then usually we just st

586
00:50:06.639 --> 00:50:09.159
so I'm happy for that. But
we'll chat next week, okay, sir,

587
00:50:10.039 --> 00:50:13.000
Yeah, have a great weekend.
All right? There, he goes

588
00:50:13.039 --> 00:50:17.199
Stephen Kent. The website is bounding
into comics. You want to read some

589
00:50:17.239 --> 00:50:21.199
of his stuff and also a lot
of a lot of the other writers.

590
00:50:21.199 --> 00:50:22.639
I was just scanning it over this
morning. There's some good stuff. Go

591
00:50:22.760 --> 00:50:27.119
check it out. Coming up,
Pete Calender will join us. That'll be

592
00:50:27.320 --> 00:50:32.119
at eight five and we're gonna chat
with Ray Stagic coming up here in just

593
00:50:32.159 --> 00:50:36.639
a few minutes, about fifteen minutes, so stick around. It is the

594
00:50:36.760 --> 00:50:47.719
CaCO Day Radio program one six one
FM Talk w PTI, two stations driving

595
00:50:47.760 --> 00:50:55.199
the best in talk. This is
Cacoday and Carolina's Morning News. All right,

596
00:50:55.280 --> 00:51:05.960
seven thirty five, and we are
back. I I don't understand it.

597
00:51:05.880 --> 00:51:08.400
It's like, and it was to
some extent, it was like during

598
00:51:08.519 --> 00:51:15.119
during his when Trump was in office, there were there were times where I

599
00:51:15.239 --> 00:51:22.599
was like, why in the world
would you give five minutes to particular individual?

600
00:51:22.840 --> 00:51:28.360
But I could also kind of,
you know, try to map out

601
00:51:28.400 --> 00:51:31.519
what the thought process was like,
you know, because I think that Trump

602
00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:37.239
genuinely thinks that he can he can
schmooze whomever, and if you like,

603
00:51:37.519 --> 00:51:39.679
if you remember, that's what he
was trying to do when he first got

604
00:51:39.679 --> 00:51:46.719
into office, and I think the
reality set in. But now he's seasoned,

605
00:51:46.800 --> 00:51:52.719
right, he was president for a
term and he sees everything that's come

606
00:51:52.800 --> 00:51:57.360
down the pipe, and so this
isn't the biggest thing. But it's the

607
00:51:57.400 --> 00:52:01.679
thing that I still failed to understand
because because this is not the same.

608
00:52:01.719 --> 00:52:05.840
This is not him trying to buddy
up to Pelosi, right, if you

609
00:52:05.880 --> 00:52:07.679
remember, he initially was trying to
do that, And the logic there,

610
00:52:07.719 --> 00:52:10.719
I think was, hey, this
is how I'm gonna get stuff done.

611
00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:19.760
And obviously that didn't work out.
But some of the folks that are in

612
00:52:20.000 --> 00:52:25.039
orbit around the campaign, I don't
understand it. Did you see what Laura

613
00:52:25.159 --> 00:52:37.320
Lumer tweeted? Okay, I'm gonna
read this verbatim, and when I'm done,

614
00:52:37.440 --> 00:52:40.320
you explained to me why this woman
should be within ten miles of mar

615
00:52:40.440 --> 00:52:46.719
Lago unless there's something I'm missing,
And if I'm missing something, let me

616
00:52:46.760 --> 00:52:52.719
know. So Lumer, uh,
she Lumer was with she was with Project

617
00:52:52.800 --> 00:52:57.519
Veritas back in the day, then
she did her own thing, then she

618
00:52:57.559 --> 00:53:00.480
got booted off Twitter. Then she
went to the Twitter headquarters when Dorsey was

619
00:53:00.480 --> 00:53:04.159
still there, and I thought,
I didn't think it was funny her like

620
00:53:04.280 --> 00:53:07.840
camping in front of there. But
so I don't. I don't have beef

621
00:53:07.880 --> 00:53:13.039
with lumur per se. I just
I almost never see anything that she tweets

622
00:53:13.599 --> 00:53:17.719
that being said this, I did
so Lumer because there's this there's a big

623
00:53:17.800 --> 00:53:23.320
snowstorm coming to Iowa, right and
then obviously got Iowa caucuses all that,

624
00:53:23.480 --> 00:53:30.239
So she writes, quote, is
the Deep State activating harp to disrupt the

625
00:53:30.280 --> 00:53:34.880
Iowa caucus? We all know Nikki
Hayley has a lot of friends in the

626
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:40.280
defense industry and military industrial complex.
She's losing in Iowa and now Iowa is

627
00:53:40.280 --> 00:53:45.199
set to get hit with a once
in a decade blizzard as Trump is set

628
00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:53.480
to dominate. Is the deep state
using harp to rig the Iowa Caucus looks

629
00:53:53.559 --> 00:53:58.039
like weather manipulation to me? Take
a look. And then she includes the

630
00:53:58.079 --> 00:54:06.239
graphic of the weather dar showing,
uh, the predicted snow storm acceleration.

631
00:54:07.000 --> 00:54:10.480
Right, and it's a doozy man, It's the whole state of Iowa was

632
00:54:10.599 --> 00:54:20.400
basically at some point under the heaviest
blue there. Why why why would you

633
00:54:20.440 --> 00:54:25.719
want that person around? Or is
it just like so he doesn't have to

634
00:54:25.920 --> 00:54:31.719
make the jokes? Yeah, Like
I was trying to theorize why that Like

635
00:54:31.880 --> 00:54:38.000
Ross and I talk about harp,
but we're joking or I am Ross.

636
00:54:38.039 --> 00:54:42.480
I'm assuming you don't think. I
mean we talk about you know, harp

637
00:54:42.519 --> 00:54:46.440
and flat earth and domes and right, none of it is really like you

638
00:54:46.480 --> 00:54:51.159
know what I believe in? Yeah, you don't think Nicky Haley's manipulating the

639
00:54:51.159 --> 00:54:54.079
weather d I do not, now
she could. I think she might right

640
00:54:55.119 --> 00:54:59.880
like her white like, oh,
everyone online, if you had the pla.

641
00:55:00.079 --> 00:55:01.480
Yeah, if you had the actual
ability to do that, of course

642
00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:05.519
you would use it. I would
we well, I mean, how would

643
00:55:05.519 --> 00:55:09.159
it for good though? Of course
if there was an area there there was

644
00:55:09.320 --> 00:55:13.639
a little drought going on. They
needed some rain for the crops. If

645
00:55:13.639 --> 00:55:15.599
I could get know, I'm just
saying, like, they're expecting sixty five

646
00:55:15.639 --> 00:55:19.880
mile per hour winds and snow in
Buffalo and Sunday at Orchard Park, right,

647
00:55:20.360 --> 00:55:22.920
if I could just make it so
the snow goes on one side of

648
00:55:22.960 --> 00:55:27.079
the field, Wow, I would
do that. You did there, that'd

649
00:55:27.119 --> 00:55:29.920
be crazy, you know. Lake
effects snow's crazy, man, as you

650
00:55:30.000 --> 00:55:34.159
know, it's wait, you can
I remember when I was in Michigan.

651
00:55:34.199 --> 00:55:37.559
I had to drive to Chicago,
and it's sunny and beautiful in Michigan,

652
00:55:37.599 --> 00:55:43.159
and I got right on the south
end of the lake there and I had

653
00:55:43.159 --> 00:55:46.039
to pull under an underpass with a
bunch of other drivers because there was so

654
00:55:46.159 --> 00:55:50.599
much snow it was impassable. We
sat there for hours until the plow came

655
00:55:50.599 --> 00:55:52.920
by, and then I got Chicago
and it's fine, right, So lake

656
00:55:52.960 --> 00:55:57.280
effects crazy. So yeah, I
could totally see it snowing on one end

657
00:55:57.320 --> 00:56:00.440
of the stadium and not the other
that's just science man, all right,

658
00:56:00.480 --> 00:56:05.239
so you would use it for good
stuff, but also to help the billsmen,

659
00:56:05.639 --> 00:56:07.960
all right. I mean I see
Lo says the same thing. Well,

660
00:56:08.119 --> 00:56:13.800
like you know, I see it
that way, and then like one

661
00:56:13.920 --> 00:56:17.199
day I hear thunderclap and now there's
football size hail coming down. I'm going

662
00:56:17.280 --> 00:56:22.599
to be suspect of somebody, is
all that I'm saying. Because you know,

663
00:56:22.639 --> 00:56:24.199
I wonder if the heart machine would
work, you know where people play

664
00:56:24.280 --> 00:56:28.360
under a dome. Could I get
it to work that way? Well?

665
00:56:28.440 --> 00:56:32.000
Yeah, don't you remember what happened
to the Metrodome? Please tell me in

666
00:56:32.039 --> 00:56:37.519
Minneapolis, although the conspiracy theory is
that they did it intentionally because they were

667
00:56:37.519 --> 00:56:42.199
trying to force the issue of a
new stadium. So the Metrodome, which

668
00:56:42.239 --> 00:56:45.440
housed the Twins and Vikings for years, the reason they ended up closing it

669
00:56:45.559 --> 00:56:51.480
was because a snow got on the
roof and collapsed the roof in so,

670
00:56:52.079 --> 00:56:54.199
you know, because apparently it was
the first time it snowed in Minneapolis or

671
00:56:54.239 --> 00:56:58.559
something. But they we got big, big, big snow up there,

672
00:56:58.920 --> 00:57:02.679
and the weight of it broke through
the white can't top there, and the

673
00:57:02.679 --> 00:57:08.840
whole field was just a giant pile
of snow. And so yeah, yeah,

674
00:57:08.880 --> 00:57:12.960
you can get through a dome.
Uh, not a problem, you

675
00:57:13.039 --> 00:57:17.079
just have you just need bigger hail
and more snow apparently. But oh anyway,

676
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:21.400
again, I just that's the thing, like I want to be able

677
00:57:21.480 --> 00:57:27.559
just to joke about this stuff.
But and I and I understand that it's

678
00:57:27.599 --> 00:57:31.960
not Trump saying it, but lumours
in that orbit and she you know,

679
00:57:32.199 --> 00:57:37.519
she does go and she does visit
down there, and that's that's the part

680
00:57:37.559 --> 00:57:42.599
I don't understand, Like in the
same way that I don't understand why if

681
00:57:42.639 --> 00:57:45.000
you're Joe Biden you'd go do an
event with uh, you know, the

682
00:57:45.119 --> 00:57:51.079
squad, I guess I but maybe
so because they're you know, they are

683
00:57:51.400 --> 00:57:54.199
elected. It's weird. And there's
an issue a few months back with the

684
00:57:54.239 --> 00:57:59.880
campaign or maybe I don't know how
long it was with Nicholas Flints, but

685
00:58:00.079 --> 00:58:02.639
done to mar Lago, Like what
is that about? Yeah, and people

686
00:58:02.719 --> 00:58:06.000
were saying that he's just doing patrol
people because he was like I didn't know

687
00:58:06.000 --> 00:58:08.480
who that was. Yeah, I
think with I think with flent as he

688
00:58:08.519 --> 00:58:13.159
came, he might have come with
Lumer Now that I think because I think

689
00:58:13.159 --> 00:58:17.880
they're tight. I think he came
with somebody else, is the way that

690
00:58:17.920 --> 00:58:22.559
they explained it. And and but
still that's why you gotta have people around

691
00:58:22.599 --> 00:58:27.679
you that can google stuff and then
go it's not the best idea. Or

692
00:58:27.719 --> 00:58:30.960
maybe he just figures none of the
pushback could be any worse than all the

693
00:58:31.000 --> 00:58:37.440
garbage over the last five years or
whatever. I don't know, but yeah,

694
00:58:37.679 --> 00:58:40.800
I was a little confused by that. All right. Speaking of weather,

695
00:58:42.519 --> 00:58:45.760
currently, Ross doesn't have access to
harp. He can't control the weather,

696
00:58:45.880 --> 00:58:49.000
so we just gotta we got to
go to the expert. That's Ray

697
00:58:49.039 --> 00:58:54.519
Stagic from the Weather Channel. But
yeah, how you doing excited? You

698
00:58:54.599 --> 00:58:58.719
excited? Yeah? You know,
getting there, getting there, trying to

699
00:58:58.719 --> 00:59:01.199
get Monday off right now. I
have to work, But I think I

700
00:59:01.239 --> 00:59:06.039
think it's gonna work out. But
man, how about that probably in case

701
00:59:06.079 --> 00:59:10.039
anybody didn't catch it yesterday, how
about Kansas City probably gonna be zero either

702
00:59:10.079 --> 00:59:15.280
side of zero at kickoff actual air
temperatures. That is going to be a

703
00:59:15.320 --> 00:59:20.519
fun one to watch. That'll buffalo
race. Yeah, sixty five mile por

704
00:59:20.559 --> 00:59:25.719
winds at Orchard Park like snow fun. Well, I mean to low my

705
00:59:25.840 --> 00:59:30.960
thunder. I was going to go
there next hour. But yeah, who's

706
00:59:30.039 --> 00:59:35.239
playing again? Yeah, he's been
thinking about it. That is uh Steelers

707
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:37.480
at Buffalo, So that's gonna be
James season. Yeah, that's the one

708
00:59:37.480 --> 00:59:42.679
o'clock. Yeah. Cold there,
I mean finally winters arrived and I was

709
00:59:42.719 --> 00:59:46.800
looking out in close to year old
Neck of the woods, casey thirty four

710
00:59:46.880 --> 00:59:52.599
below up in northwest Montana. Earlier
this morning it was fifty something below in

711
00:59:52.639 --> 00:59:55.880
Canada. That was without the wind. So some frigid area. Yeah,

712
00:59:57.039 --> 00:59:59.800
a little cold, and guess what, some of that may get here and

713
00:59:59.840 --> 01:00:02.480
we we may have a touch of
wintery prese him to deal with sometime early

714
01:00:02.559 --> 01:00:05.800
next week and maybe again later in
the week. I don't only get too

715
01:00:05.800 --> 01:00:08.440
far ahead of myself though. Wind
advisory today. There's some showers later,

716
01:00:08.760 --> 01:00:14.760
maybe a thunderstorm into this evening,
gusty winds forty plus. There could be

717
01:00:14.800 --> 01:00:17.360
some problems with wind right now.
The severe weather wrist does look low,

718
01:00:17.400 --> 01:00:21.480
lower than it looked yesterday, but
it's not zero. So late today,

719
01:00:21.519 --> 01:00:24.760
early tonight, maybe some severe storms
windhil not going to rule out a chance

720
01:00:24.760 --> 01:00:29.880
of a tornado, but it is
low. And then sunshine for Saturday and

721
01:00:29.920 --> 01:00:32.320
Sunday, upper forties to low fifties. But the wind's going to be whipping

722
01:00:32.400 --> 01:00:36.199
maybe twenty to thirty miles per hours
some of the gusts, so it will

723
01:00:36.239 --> 01:00:39.199
feel colder. Low's at night in
the upper twenties to low thirties, still

724
01:00:39.239 --> 01:00:43.199
decent Monday. Then it's Tuesday.
We might have a little rain and snow

725
01:00:43.239 --> 01:00:45.840
to deal with with colder temperatures coming
in and the teens Tuesday nights. So

726
01:00:46.480 --> 01:00:51.639
that'll be an opportunity there Tuesday to
maybe extend the holiday week. And for

727
01:00:51.719 --> 01:00:54.239
some I'm not gonna say it's definite
yet. The models have been back and

728
01:00:54.320 --> 01:01:00.360
forth on snow chances, but right
now chances snow and or rain on Tuesday.

729
01:01:00.039 --> 01:01:02.599
Well, but then you get into
that that little middle ground that just

730
01:01:02.639 --> 01:01:06.760
sucks for everybody, right, you
want to know, and you get freezing

731
01:01:06.880 --> 01:01:09.679
rain, so enjoy all right.
Well, uh we'll keep an eye on

732
01:01:09.719 --> 01:01:13.079
it. We'll chat with you in
an hour, sir, Thank you very

733
01:01:13.159 --> 01:01:15.400
much. All right, man,
there you go, Race Agic from the

734
01:01:15.639 --> 01:01:17.840
Weather Channel. All right, coming
up, I gotta update you on the

735
01:01:17.880 --> 01:01:25.239
tunnel story. And oh I'm on
the wrong little thing here. Uh we

736
01:01:25.239 --> 01:01:28.559
well, I'll tell you what we'll
do. The tunnel story. I'm gonna

737
01:01:28.559 --> 01:01:31.199
try to jam pack this because we've
got Pete Calender coming up at eight oh

738
01:01:31.280 --> 01:01:37.440
five, so stick around. It
is the CaCO Day Radio Program one six

739
01:01:37.519 --> 01:01:44.880
one FM Talk and News Talk ninety
pt I More with Casey starts now,

740
01:01:46.639 --> 01:01:50.920
all right, couple stories we're gonna
get him in this segment. A couple

741
01:01:50.960 --> 01:01:54.559
of stories. I know. I
there's so much I don't understand, although

742
01:01:54.639 --> 01:01:59.960
at least with the tunnel story,
we're getting a little more info there.

743
01:02:01.000 --> 01:02:05.079
Now you didn't have to decide whether
you you know, you believe the info

744
01:02:05.199 --> 01:02:08.239
or not. But it is shaping
up in a way I guess. I

745
01:02:08.280 --> 01:02:15.239
like. Obviously there's some beef.
There's some beef with the the synagogue up

746
01:02:15.239 --> 01:02:25.400
there and some folks who deviate into
a different version of Judaism, and but

747
01:02:25.440 --> 01:02:29.679
I'm not Jewish, so I don't
like. I was reading a couple posts

748
01:02:29.719 --> 01:02:32.400
by people who are trying to explain
it to me, and my head started

749
01:02:32.400 --> 01:02:37.880
to hurt because there's all these different
little things going on. This though Ross

750
01:02:37.920 --> 01:02:45.239
sent this to me this morning,
this this would actually explain a few things.

751
01:02:45.079 --> 01:02:50.719
So there's a report out the Jewish
teens who dug the tunnels under the

752
01:02:50.840 --> 01:03:00.679
Shabbad World headquarters started digging themselves,
and so they were literally digging, and

753
01:03:00.719 --> 01:03:04.760
then they were removing dirt Shawshank style, I kid you not, that is

754
01:03:04.800 --> 01:03:07.840
a quote here, Shawshank redemption style. So they would dig, they fill

755
01:03:07.880 --> 01:03:10.320
up their pockets with dirt, and
then I guess they'd go to the yard

756
01:03:10.320 --> 01:03:16.360
and talk to red or something.
But found the work was not moving along

757
01:03:16.400 --> 01:03:22.760
fast enough. So what do they
do? According to the report, they

758
01:03:22.880 --> 01:03:31.400
then hired migrants, So you know
the folks who've been busted up there to

759
01:03:32.480 --> 01:03:37.880
New York City who are literally just
hanging out you see the videos, just

760
01:03:37.920 --> 01:03:42.000
hanging out on sidewalks. The city
is talking about in New York putting a

761
01:03:44.039 --> 01:03:50.719
curfew together for any of them.
They're living in the facilities that are being

762
01:03:50.719 --> 01:03:54.679
provided by the city. That would
be the hook because the panhandling is so

763
01:03:54.880 --> 01:04:00.760
out of control, which is saying
something for New York City man. But

764
01:04:00.599 --> 01:04:04.360
no, they they did the work
wasn't moving fast enough, So what did

765
01:04:04.400 --> 01:04:10.400
they do. They they essentially went
to home depot, you know, with

766
01:04:10.480 --> 01:04:14.000
that that old narrative. No,
they hired hired some of the migrants,

767
01:04:14.039 --> 01:04:20.320
and according to the report, to
ensure that the whole operation didn't get found

768
01:04:20.360 --> 01:04:29.840
out. The migrants involved actually were
they were here, we go, they

769
01:04:30.199 --> 01:04:33.039
slept and worked near the facility.
And you know, one of the big

770
01:04:33.039 --> 01:04:40.880
things there was the mattresses. Right, Everyone speculating that it was either hoboes

771
01:04:41.239 --> 01:04:45.519
or child sex ring. People are
going just nuts over this. But if

772
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:50.679
you hired a bunch of dudes to
dig it and then he's and you know,

773
01:04:50.760 --> 01:04:54.760
you wanted to stay down there,
and then I guess maybe that makes

774
01:04:54.760 --> 01:04:57.360
sense. I don't know, Ross, do you feel like the story's coming

775
01:04:57.400 --> 01:05:00.559
together for you or there's just way
too much We don't know. Yeah,

776
01:05:00.599 --> 01:05:03.559
I kind of feel like it is. Yeah. And then we had a

777
01:05:03.599 --> 01:05:08.159
color color in his name was He
called himself Sarge. Right. He explained

778
01:05:08.360 --> 01:05:10.639
how it went down, but he
pretty much nailed it. He said that

779
01:05:10.639 --> 01:05:13.440
they were taking dirt out there is
like a fanatical group of like, you

780
01:05:13.480 --> 01:05:16.559
know, five thousand of them or
whatever, and they would they would slowly

781
01:05:16.599 --> 01:05:19.280
do this process. Now he didn't
bring up the you know, the migra,

782
01:05:19.440 --> 01:05:24.920
the Mexican part, No, but
but that when you go to try

783
01:05:24.960 --> 01:05:27.559
to figure out what's up with the
mattresses, because that's the part I couldn't

784
01:05:27.559 --> 01:05:30.280
figure out unless you told me that
there were homeless that it went down there.

785
01:05:30.039 --> 01:05:32.880
But now that makes sense, right. You hired a bunch of dudes

786
01:05:32.920 --> 01:05:39.280
who obviously you are desperate for cash
on hand, and you tell him,

787
01:05:39.320 --> 01:05:42.559
hey, you got to live down
here. I probably find uh several who

788
01:05:42.599 --> 01:05:45.480
will. So there's that, all
right. That's story number one. Story

789
01:05:45.559 --> 01:05:53.440
number two, this ESPN story.
I admittedly I've read this thing a couple

790
01:05:53.480 --> 01:05:57.559
of times. I don't know that
I fully understand all of the different aspects

791
01:05:57.559 --> 01:06:10.039
of it. But the gist is
ESPN. ESPN is, oh, all

792
01:06:10.119 --> 01:06:14.559
right, somebody send me an email
said that that we're dead on the air.

793
01:06:15.039 --> 01:06:16.519
But then he said, it's the
stream. I don't know update you're

794
01:06:16.519 --> 01:06:23.360
app sorry, ESPN allegedly may I
don't know if it's allegedly. I just

795
01:06:23.400 --> 01:06:30.719
they admit to it. They were
making up like fake names and positions for

796
01:06:30.880 --> 01:06:36.880
employees so they could submit them to
the National Academy of Television, Arts and

797
01:06:36.920 --> 01:06:44.800
Sciences, who oversees the Emmy Awards. And there's a certain complexity on College

798
01:06:44.840 --> 01:06:49.480
Game Day, which is reportedly the
show that this surrounds of why they were

799
01:06:49.559 --> 01:06:55.840
somewhat limited. They were limited in
how they could go for Emmys based on

800
01:06:56.079 --> 01:07:00.440
the known talent there because they're there's
a certain amount of time you have to

801
01:07:00.480 --> 01:07:03.159
put in. And I'm not fully
aware of all of it, but I

802
01:07:03.199 --> 01:07:08.599
understand what they were saying, and
so they would then go and they would

803
01:07:08.639 --> 01:07:13.039
submit. Because it's not just the
Emmys you see on TV, the big

804
01:07:13.079 --> 01:07:16.039
show there. That is some of
it. But also there are separate Emmy

805
01:07:16.079 --> 01:07:21.840
awards regionally in the sport on the
sports side of things. Right. They're

806
01:07:21.880 --> 01:07:26.960
not necessarily the big Best Actors or
Actor or award that you see when the

807
01:07:26.960 --> 01:07:30.480
Emmys do their thing, but there's
also these It's why you'll see like local

808
01:07:30.480 --> 01:07:34.840
TV stations that go like Winter of
seven Daytime Emmys, Right. But ESPN

809
01:07:34.960 --> 01:07:40.920
was just making up names to secure
Emmys, and they say that the talent

810
01:07:41.039 --> 01:07:43.559
wasn't in on it. But I
don't know. I feel like, if

811
01:07:43.920 --> 01:07:46.039
I want an Emmy, I'd wonder
how the hell that happened, or if

812
01:07:46.079 --> 01:07:49.800
somebody won an Emmy for my show
and I don't know who that is.

813
01:07:49.960 --> 01:07:55.519
I would also have questions. The
whole thing is just weird, man.

814
01:07:56.039 --> 01:08:00.000
I'll tell you what else is weird
though, is also this idea because I'm

815
01:08:00.320 --> 01:08:02.920
they're doing it to bolster image.
I don't believe the host didn't know what

816
01:08:03.079 --> 01:08:06.440
was up. It's just there's too
much weirdness here. But you know,

817
01:08:06.519 --> 01:08:10.280
also the idea that somebody, you
know, people within the you know,

818
01:08:10.440 --> 01:08:15.880
media and entertainment, would uh,
you know, subjugate the value of their

819
01:08:15.920 --> 01:08:24.000
own work to meaningless awards right where. You know that that is what justifies

820
01:08:24.039 --> 01:08:28.840
what you do rather than everything else
on a day to day basis. That's

821
01:08:28.880 --> 01:08:32.359
what's disturbing to me right there,
you know what I mean Ross where people

822
01:08:32.520 --> 01:08:41.359
just just awards is what gives them
value and not the you know, so

823
01:08:41.479 --> 01:08:46.800
strange right there? Did you move
up to first? Jet? Are you

824
01:08:46.880 --> 01:08:55.880
still second on the best radio?
Liss? Sorry? As crazy as can

825
01:08:56.720 --> 01:08:59.960
the ESPN story and the tunnel story, you know what, there's so weird

826
01:09:00.399 --> 01:09:04.840
might I was waiting for him to
overlap the day Oh and something else too.

827
01:09:04.840 --> 01:09:08.000
I just thought of, Well,
anyway, Pete Calendar will join us

828
01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:16.840
next. Can you corn on?
Everybody and welcome? It is our number

829
01:09:16.880 --> 01:09:24.960

some lamar weather coming through. We chatted

830
01:09:25.000 --> 01:09:28.279
with Ray here a couple of segments
ago, and we'll touch base with him

831
01:09:28.399 --> 01:09:35.359
one more time. But I am
very excited to announce our next guest winner

832
01:09:35.439 --> 01:09:43.199
of the twenty twenty three Marconi an
Oscar and the Fields Mathematics Medal, which

833
01:09:43.279 --> 01:09:47.000
is only given every four years.
Thank you, Goodwill Hunting. It's Pete

834
01:09:47.039 --> 01:09:54.760
Calender Middays WBT. Absolutely amazing,
sir, congratulations on the whole. So

835
01:09:54.840 --> 01:10:00.000
I'm sorry, congratulations for what for
all those awards you want? Are you?

836
01:10:00.039 --> 01:10:04.239
Did you not see the ESPN story? Yes? I did. That's

837
01:10:04.239 --> 01:10:10.319
amazing. You're telling me that the
host like, because I'm putting So you

838
01:10:10.399 --> 01:10:13.600
want to you have a show.
I have a show, right, You

839
01:10:13.680 --> 01:10:15.399
have people you work with on your
show. I have people I work with

840
01:10:15.439 --> 01:10:19.199
on my show. It's it's me
and it's Ross and then Kyle's our news

841
01:10:19.199 --> 01:10:28.079
guy. And so if you're the
host of College Game Day and you read

842
01:10:28.159 --> 01:10:30.640
the trades when the awards come out, because it's what we do, right

843
01:10:30.720 --> 01:10:34.359
when the talk you look at the
talkers list, don't you when that thing

844
01:10:34.399 --> 01:10:42.439
comes out? Yeah? Maybe?
Yeah? I mean I saw you tweet

845
01:10:42.520 --> 01:10:47.960
something about you guys. Yeah,
because you guys had a couple. Yeah.

846
01:10:48.279 --> 01:10:53.479
So if if I'm sitting there and
I'm Kirk Herbstreet or whatever, And

847
01:10:53.560 --> 01:10:57.560
I'm like, the Technical Emmy,
Because people, it's not just the Emmys

848
01:10:57.600 --> 01:10:59.960
you see on TV. They got
tons of other Emmys. They got Region

849
01:11:00.159 --> 01:11:02.359
Lemmys, they got Technical Lemmyes,
they got Sports Emmys, you name it.

850
01:11:03.279 --> 01:11:08.039
If I'm like, if I see
that an associate producer with a name

851
01:11:08.199 --> 01:11:12.600
I've never heard of won an award
for my show, and I don't know

852
01:11:12.600 --> 01:11:15.760
who the hell that person is,
You're gonna be aware something's up right.

853
01:11:17.319 --> 01:11:20.439
The only thing I could think is
that there are so many people that are

854
01:11:20.760 --> 01:11:24.720
you know, behind the curtain,
you know, behind the scenes, that

855
01:11:25.279 --> 01:11:30.439
the talent sitting in front of the
camera doesn't know all of those people's names.

856
01:11:30.560 --> 01:11:33.119
But what's amazing to me is that
somebody they would make up stuff.

857
01:11:33.119 --> 01:11:38.319
Why would you make up the names? I don't understand the point of the

858
01:11:38.439 --> 01:11:44.039
racket, Like, why would you
make up fake names and then submit entries?

859
01:11:44.600 --> 01:11:46.239
Why not just submit real names on
the entries? Why were they not

860
01:11:46.279 --> 01:11:50.199
allowed to just do that? I
think I think what I read is that

861
01:11:50.399 --> 01:11:55.359
their hosts, at the very least
in some of the production staff was not

862
01:11:55.600 --> 01:11:59.880
eligible yet because there's a there has
to be a certain amount of time that's

863
01:12:00.159 --> 01:12:04.079
lapsed with the current structure or something
I believe is how it was described in

864
01:12:04.119 --> 01:12:09.560
this story from the New York Post. Yeah, that's the That's the thing

865
01:12:09.560 --> 01:12:13.319
I don't get like either, Like
content is king right if it if it's

866
01:12:13.359 --> 01:12:16.359
good content submitted for the award,
and then you know, see what happens.

867
01:12:16.359 --> 01:12:21.039
But the fact that you could make
up a bunch of people's names and

868
01:12:21.319 --> 01:12:28.199
put those fake names onto actual content
work that was done right, that that

869
01:12:28.640 --> 01:12:30.640
you want an award for, and
then when you get the award, so

870
01:12:30.800 --> 01:12:36.359
then you win proving that you did
good content right supposedly, then you then

871
01:12:36.399 --> 01:12:43.720
you re engrave the name plate to
be somebody who actually does work at the

872
01:12:43.880 --> 01:12:46.079
at the plate. Yeah yeah,
yeah. And there's one little, one

873
01:12:46.079 --> 01:12:51.600
little nugget still to that. The
names they would submit, So if your

874
01:12:51.640 --> 01:12:56.800
Pete calendar, you'd be p k
right, So they would the name they

875
01:12:56.800 --> 01:13:00.800
would submit. They would make sure
that the first and last the initial were

876
01:13:00.800 --> 01:13:02.079
the same. So if I was
gonna, you know, try to cheat

877
01:13:02.119 --> 01:13:05.840
for you, I'd be like Paul
Kessler, right, and then and then

878
01:13:05.880 --> 01:13:12.039
they would literally have that engraved and
then I guess what, scratch off the

879
01:13:12.079 --> 01:13:14.840
rest and fill in the right name. The whole thing is so weird.

880
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:19.239
It is so weird. I'd like
all of this just for for these awards,

881
01:13:19.239 --> 01:13:24.199
Like do they have bonus money attached
to winning awards or something. I

882
01:13:24.279 --> 01:13:29.199
don't understand. I don't understand why
they just wanted the you know the you've

883
01:13:29.199 --> 01:13:33.119
seen the promos like TV stations around
they'd be like winner of seven Daytime Emmy

884
01:13:33.119 --> 01:13:36.680
Awards. It's blah blah blah,
you know news, and so I think

885
01:13:36.720 --> 01:13:43.760
that's the flex, but I don't
know. There's there's a couple of stories

886
01:13:43.800 --> 01:13:45.600
this week that have just confused me. That's one of them. And then

887
01:13:45.840 --> 01:13:50.319
all the tunnel insanity up in New
York because I feel like I have not

888
01:13:50.479 --> 01:13:57.119
been doing my part in digging tunnels. I feel like everybody's digging tunnels nowadays,

889
01:13:57.159 --> 01:14:00.880
and I haven't dug any tunnels.
So I feel like I feel like

890
01:14:00.920 --> 01:14:04.840
I'm missing out on that well now. But not all tunnels are the same,

891
01:14:04.960 --> 01:14:10.039
Like you know, Rambow digs tunnels
and then he uses it to avenge

892
01:14:10.119 --> 01:14:13.800
the death of a family member,
and he's a hero of New York.

893
01:14:14.000 --> 01:14:21.159
It's either hobos or Jewish students who
are on a different path of Judaism,

894
01:14:23.039 --> 01:14:28.079
and they're doing it because they want
to be able to access part of the

895
01:14:28.520 --> 01:14:33.279
Like I did see a report now
they're saying that the students who did it

896
01:14:34.199 --> 01:14:40.479
were Shawshank Redemption removing dirt, but
realized it was taking so long that they

897
01:14:40.600 --> 01:14:45.760
went and they found a bunch of
the migrants and hired them to do it

898
01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:50.119
and had them sleep there, which
I guess is explains the mattresses. So

899
01:14:50.239 --> 01:14:55.359
yeah, yeah, after I read
that story the first time, I like,

900
01:14:55.399 --> 01:14:57.359
I read it and I thought,
I don't even know what I just

901
01:14:57.439 --> 01:15:01.640
read. I still and I've read. We think we've had four different stories

902
01:15:01.680 --> 01:15:04.960
this week. It just it's crazier
and crazier. Let me hit you,

903
01:15:05.199 --> 01:15:10.640
uh something, Hold on, I'm
sorry, I have your your list here.

904
01:15:10.760 --> 01:15:13.239
I think we're gonna coincide. Okay, yeah, yeah, all right,

905
01:15:13.319 --> 01:15:15.000
let me let me do this and
then we'll get to a couple of

906
01:15:15.000 --> 01:15:20.119
things on your list here. Did
you see the Laura Lumer tweet? No?

907
01:15:20.600 --> 01:15:24.560
I did not, Thankfully. I
do my best not to see her

908
01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:28.479
tweets. I you know, I
don't see them organically like when she tweets

909
01:15:28.600 --> 01:15:34.039
usually, but a couple Travis Fain, who used to be with R L

910
01:15:34.159 --> 01:15:38.119
and a couple of us who you
know, because I follow the local reporters

911
01:15:38.119 --> 01:15:42.039
and we'll see what they're up to. They seized upon it, so Loomor

912
01:15:42.159 --> 01:15:48.279
sent Loomer sent a tweet out accusing
Nikki Hayley of calling her buddies at the

913
01:15:48.479 --> 01:15:54.600
at the do O D to use
harp to create a once in a decade

914
01:15:54.680 --> 01:16:00.640
snowstorm to ruin the Caucuses so they
could cheat. Yeah, like a Laura

915
01:16:00.680 --> 01:16:02.640
Lumer. Yeah, no, no, no. And if it was just

916
01:16:02.720 --> 01:16:08.319
that, but the thing that kills
me, and and this is what I

917
01:16:08.319 --> 01:16:12.640
was talking about earlier, why would
you let that woman within five miles of

918
01:16:12.680 --> 01:16:16.439
mar A Lago. I don't.
I don't know the upside there. I

919
01:16:16.439 --> 01:16:19.760
don't either unless they, I mean
they, they have got to believe that

920
01:16:19.800 --> 01:16:25.960
there is some sort of following that
she has that that they need. There's

921
01:16:26.000 --> 01:16:30.479
no other explanation. She's insane and
she has been for a long time,

922
01:16:30.520 --> 01:16:35.720
and I don't understand why anybody treats
her with any degree of seriousness. The

923
01:16:35.760 --> 01:16:41.399
stuff that she says is I mean, it's Kem trail stuff. It's it

924
01:16:41.520 --> 01:16:45.920
is so out there. And then
oh, look at all the conspiracy theories

925
01:16:45.920 --> 01:16:48.760
that came true, like, no, she just makes up stuff and you

926
01:16:48.800 --> 01:16:53.199
can see it happened in real time. And once you realize, once you

927
01:16:53.239 --> 01:16:56.079
realize that there's no point in following
her or reading anything. And I don't

928
01:16:56.159 --> 01:17:00.119
understand why anybody in the Trump campaign
allows her to be anywhere near them.

929
01:17:00.119 --> 01:17:03.800
I don't get it. Yeah,
I U. I racked my brain a

930
01:17:03.800 --> 01:17:08.560
lot during try. Actually I kind
of understood it at the beginning with Trump

931
01:17:08.560 --> 01:17:11.760
when he was in office, because
I think, and you tell me if

932
01:17:11.760 --> 01:17:15.720
I'm wrong, I think he absolutely
thought he could schmooze everybody. I think,

933
01:17:15.800 --> 01:17:19.159
oh, yeah, yeah, and
so you would, yeah, you

934
01:17:19.199 --> 01:17:25.079
would see him like trying to schmooze
Pelosi or whatever, and and and other

935
01:17:25.159 --> 01:17:29.760
people who it was clear they didn't
have his best interest in mind. And

936
01:17:29.840 --> 01:17:31.960
I never I never understood that.
And I never understand how he could keep

937
01:17:31.960 --> 01:17:35.800
having meetings with four people in it. Everything would leak and they'd never figure

938
01:17:35.840 --> 01:17:42.119
out who it was. But I
understood the mindset that he had in office

939
01:17:42.359 --> 01:17:45.119
where he thought he could schmooze people, and he thought, hey, even

940
01:17:45.119 --> 01:17:47.439
if I got to work with this
person I find revolting, maybe I'll get

941
01:17:47.479 --> 01:17:53.680
some benefit, Like but now I'm
just like cut the cord, babe,

942
01:17:53.880 --> 01:17:57.720
Like you need to not have that
person around you. I said, well,

943
01:17:58.000 --> 01:18:00.920
a couple of things. I think
he is transaction and dald Trump is

944
01:18:00.000 --> 01:18:05.000
transactional, right, which is why? Right? Which is why to describing

945
01:18:05.039 --> 01:18:09.960
what you know you just described.
That's that's the nature of a transactional kind

946
01:18:09.960 --> 01:18:14.960
of mode of operation. Also,
growing up as he did, you know,

947
01:18:15.119 --> 01:18:19.960
powerful father, real estate guy,
and surrounded himself throughout his entire professional

948
01:18:20.000 --> 01:18:28.159
career with people that were in awe
of him and his business and his dating

949
01:18:28.319 --> 01:18:31.319
life that he wrote about extensively in
his book. And you know, like

950
01:18:31.399 --> 01:18:34.239
I said, you know the access
Hollywood tape and all of that, they

951
01:18:34.279 --> 01:18:39.560
let you do it. Right.
This is somebody who grows up their entire

952
01:18:39.640 --> 01:18:43.720
life being told that they're the bees
needs and everything they say is correct.

953
01:18:44.159 --> 01:18:47.720
Absolutely would think that they can persuade
everybody because honestly, a lot of people

954
01:18:47.720 --> 01:18:51.880
go along with what he has you
know, asked for or tried to negotiate.

955
01:18:51.920 --> 01:18:55.560
People go along with it. Right, Well, there's a lot of

956
01:18:55.560 --> 01:18:59.159
power in being a billionaire. Well
yeah, you know what I'm saying that

957
01:18:59.319 --> 01:19:03.119
like that in and of itself,
you're so far ahead in most negotiations and

958
01:19:03.159 --> 01:19:08.520
discussions because people will be intimidated by
that, right, right, And so

959
01:19:08.600 --> 01:19:10.960
I think that when you yeah,
so that's the one he goes in there.

960
01:19:10.960 --> 01:19:14.560
And this is the thing I never
understood about Democrats when he got into

961
01:19:14.640 --> 01:19:17.039
office. They could have they could
have had their way with him if they

962
01:19:17.279 --> 01:19:21.520
had just like flattered him. All
they had to do was praise him,

963
01:19:21.760 --> 01:19:28.439
and they could have gotten almost anything
they wanted. And going to get DAKA

964
01:19:28.479 --> 01:19:32.119
amnesty, right, they were going
to get a pathway to citizenship for Daka.

965
01:19:32.840 --> 01:19:38.079
That was literally on the table and
and she's her and Chuck Schummer are

966
01:19:38.079 --> 01:19:42.039
like, no, screw you,
right, and yeah, yeah, I

967
01:19:42.079 --> 01:19:45.920
don't get it there because I thought
they were They're transactional too. But I

968
01:19:45.920 --> 01:19:48.119
think I think they want the issue
on the DAKA things specifically. I think

969
01:19:48.119 --> 01:19:51.359
they still want the issue because they
motivates some of their voters. They don't

970
01:19:51.399 --> 01:19:55.079
want to fix it because if they
fix it, then that means they have

971
01:19:55.159 --> 01:19:59.439
to actually address other problems immigration related, and they don't want to do that

972
01:19:59.520 --> 01:20:02.880
because the solutions there are things that
their voters do not want. Well,

973
01:20:02.880 --> 01:20:08.199
to be fair, do you see
Pelosi was a yesterday saying that border security

974
01:20:08.279 --> 01:20:11.840
is a huge issue and they've been
working towards that. Yeah, like when

975
01:20:11.840 --> 01:20:15.760
you can gaslight at that level,
I think it is transactional. I think

976
01:20:15.800 --> 01:20:19.359
she just figured out we can do
whatever we want. There's more value in,

977
01:20:21.039 --> 01:20:24.920
you know, trashing this dude from
the gett. I think it was

978
01:20:24.960 --> 01:20:28.520
a calculated decision. But you're right, there's things that they would have been

979
01:20:28.560 --> 01:20:33.560
able to get. And more importantly, I think there's things that some voters

980
01:20:33.600 --> 01:20:39.000
who wouldn't swallow it from a more
mainstream individual, like if Mitt Romney was

981
01:20:39.039 --> 01:20:44.520
in there having a discussion about DACA
amnesty, I think it would the reaction

982
01:20:44.720 --> 01:20:46.680
be very different than Trump. I
think some people would have said, well,

983
01:20:46.720 --> 01:20:51.079
at least he's doing something, and
that made that argument, And yeah,

984
01:20:51.359 --> 01:20:56.920
I'm with you, it was a
miscalculation. A couple things real quick.

985
01:20:57.199 --> 01:21:00.560
What the heck's going on in Charlotte, Man, I'm scared. So

986
01:21:00.000 --> 01:21:05.600
you know, Rollie drops an acorn, Macon Georgia drops a cherry Charlotte for

987
01:21:05.640 --> 01:21:12.840
New Year's drops bodies and so you
guys have It's not just the home although

988
01:21:12.920 --> 01:21:15.199
actually I can I solved the homeless
issould I tell you this last week I

989
01:21:15.199 --> 01:21:19.640
don't remember I solved your homeless problem
in Charlotte. Oh no, I don't

990
01:21:19.640 --> 01:21:23.760
think. I don't think you did
tell you? Yeah, no, no,

991
01:21:23.760 --> 01:21:26.199
no, here, here's all you
gotta do. Uh And in fact,

992
01:21:26.239 --> 01:21:28.680
you want to pass this off is
your own idea. Feel free,

993
01:21:29.199 --> 01:21:33.680
awesome. Round up all the homeless, put them in the three hundred level

994
01:21:33.880 --> 01:21:39.880
of the Panthers stadium. Oh,
that's brilliant. There's there's there's bathrooms,

995
01:21:40.119 --> 01:21:45.399
there's satering options. There's nobody up
there. You know, boom solved.

996
01:21:45.439 --> 01:21:51.479
So that and we can we can
clothe them with all of the Panthers merch

997
01:21:51.560 --> 01:21:55.720
that nobody is buying. So we
can give them all of the uh,

998
01:21:56.239 --> 01:22:01.520
all of the jerseys of players that
are terrible and keep them warm. I

999
01:22:01.520 --> 01:22:03.479
got and by the way, I
got. No, somebody's getting mad.

1000
01:22:04.640 --> 01:22:08.640
I'm picking on the Panthers because it's
easy to pick on the Panthers, and

1001
01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:11.479
I want there to work for to
throw a drink in my face so I

1002
01:22:11.479 --> 01:22:15.439
can make three five thousand. So
it's all. Oh, and temper can

1003
01:22:15.479 --> 01:22:18.479
serve drinks up there. That'll be
amazing. All right, So but no,

1004
01:22:18.640 --> 01:22:24.920
back to the back to this in
reality, though juvenile gun violence.

1005
01:22:25.680 --> 01:22:30.319
Is this is an issue down in
Charlotte, Obviously, it's it's something that

1006
01:22:30.800 --> 01:22:34.439
we see up in these parts as
well. So is it overblown? Is

1007
01:22:34.479 --> 01:22:36.960
the media freaking out for nothing?
Or do you guys have a real problem

1008
01:22:38.039 --> 01:22:42.640
down there. No, it's a
real problem. The increase in violent crime,

1009
01:22:44.399 --> 01:22:46.439
they say, I mean there was
a statistically they say, it's stayed

1010
01:22:46.439 --> 01:22:49.880
flat. It went up a little
bit, a couple extra cases sort of

1011
01:22:49.880 --> 01:22:53.680
things, and yeah, we have
more people, so yes, it's stayed

1012
01:22:53.680 --> 01:22:59.720
flat. But aggravated assault rose three
percent, shootings went up seven percent,

1013
01:23:00.319 --> 01:23:06.760
and the increase in the victims predominantly
juveniles. There is an eighteen percent more

1014
01:23:08.760 --> 01:23:13.880
an uptick of eighteen percent more juveniles
than the previous year. There was a

1015
01:23:13.960 --> 01:23:19.119
thirty three percent increase in juvenile suspects
in those shootings. So you're seeing and

1016
01:23:19.279 --> 01:23:26.359
this is also tied to the raise
the age law that was passed by the

1017
01:23:26.399 --> 01:23:30.039
Republican General Assembly a couple of years
ago, where now a lot of these

1018
01:23:30.119 --> 01:23:33.800
kids are getting released back into the
custody of their parent or guardian who obviously

1019
01:23:34.319 --> 01:23:40.159
stink at being parents or guardians or
something, because their kids are just running

1020
01:23:40.199 --> 01:23:45.199
wild and they're stealing all of the
cars. I mean, we're having there

1021
01:23:45.239 --> 01:23:49.000
are twenty two cars stolen every day
in Charlotte. Twenty two cars a day

1022
01:23:49.720 --> 01:23:55.680
stolen, and it's being driven by
juveniles. The vast majority of it are

1023
01:23:55.720 --> 01:23:59.520
juveniles that are stealing the cars.
They're reckoning them or they're you know,

1024
01:24:00.079 --> 01:24:03.119
ditchenum, or they are getting selling
them off just you know, to organize

1025
01:24:03.159 --> 01:24:08.000
crime. And they steal these cars. People have guns in their cars.

1026
01:24:08.159 --> 01:24:11.199
They're committing the burglaries and such because
once they take the car, then they

1027
01:24:11.279 --> 01:24:15.199
lead police on chases and such.
It's out of control. And these juveniles

1028
01:24:15.239 --> 01:24:19.239
a out of control and there are
no punishments really available to them because they

1029
01:24:19.279 --> 01:24:24.439
said in the legislation when they raise
the age, they said sixteen and seventeen

1030
01:24:24.520 --> 01:24:29.600
year old shouldn't be treated as adults
in the court system unless they do something

1031
01:24:29.640 --> 01:24:32.920
really really really bad. Well,
they and the reason why is they said

1032
01:24:32.920 --> 01:24:36.640
that was that their brains aren't fully
formed. Right. Well, okay,

1033
01:24:36.680 --> 01:24:41.000
so if their brains aren't fully formed, then maybe there needs to be some

1034
01:24:41.119 --> 01:24:44.920
kind of other penalty involved here rather
than just sending them home, because maybe

1035
01:24:44.920 --> 01:24:48.600
their brains are not comprehending that these
things are not good for a society and

1036
01:24:48.640 --> 01:24:55.680
not good for their future. So
there's this now renewed look at that legislation,

1037
01:24:56.319 --> 01:25:00.960
and there's this task force that Charlotte
City Councilman Talk Cary is trying to

1038
01:25:00.960 --> 01:25:03.439
set up, and he got Speaker
Tim Moore to come meet with them,

1039
01:25:03.479 --> 01:25:09.119
along with John Bradford a couple other
local officials. But it's going to take

1040
01:25:09.279 --> 01:25:13.880
you know, city, county,
and state level interventions, I think,

1041
01:25:13.920 --> 01:25:17.800
in order to try to rain this
in. I don't We're done are the

1042
01:25:17.880 --> 01:25:21.359
days of Republican mayors in these cities, right? Because when I moved to

1043
01:25:21.399 --> 01:25:29.319
North Carolina, the mayor of Raleigh
was who had just left, was a

1044
01:25:29.359 --> 01:25:34.720
Republican. Pat McCarry was Charlotte's mayor, and I got a minute. I

1045
01:25:34.720 --> 01:25:41.199
don't know that that ever happens again
in those cities. No, I agree,

1046
01:25:41.279 --> 01:25:45.479
Yeah, Pat McCrory seven terms,
So fourteen years when I first got

1047
01:25:45.479 --> 01:25:48.119
here, I mean up until like
the about fifteen years ago, Charlotte City

1048
01:25:48.159 --> 01:25:54.279
Council had Republican majorities. At one
point, the County Commission in Mecklenburg had

1049
01:25:54.359 --> 01:25:59.039
had Republican majorities. So within the
last fifteen years it's gone full Democrat and

1050
01:25:59.079 --> 01:26:01.840
you never want to go full Democrat. No, but they but they did

1051
01:26:01.880 --> 01:26:05.319
that with the county county commissioners in
wait, because what we do is they

1052
01:26:05.319 --> 01:26:10.239
go all right, now everything's at
large and then you see what this happens.

1053
01:26:10.359 --> 01:26:14.840
It's like California with their sir jungle
primary thing. So all right,

1054
01:26:14.920 --> 01:26:16.000
well that's where we're gonna leave it
for to day. I didn't get back

1055
01:26:16.000 --> 01:26:19.399
to the barber thing, but that's
how it goes. Uh next week,

1056
01:26:19.479 --> 01:26:24.800
sir, and uh you know,
uh, feel free to pass the homeless

1057
01:26:24.840 --> 01:26:28.239
thing off is your own idea.
I intend to do just that. All

1058
01:26:28.319 --> 01:26:30.159
right, reap the benefits. We'll
talk next week. Thank you all.

1059
01:26:32.359 --> 01:26:36.680
The show. After the show is
on the iHeart radio app. Search Casey

1060
01:26:36.760 --> 01:26:45.600
O Day for the podcast on the
iHeart radio app. So I'm not intimately

1061
01:26:48.720 --> 01:26:55.119
aware of introduced to like I don't
know the rules because I've never been there,

1062
01:26:55.199 --> 01:27:02.640
but I would think one of the
first rules of Dynamite Meth club is

1063
01:27:02.840 --> 01:27:12.239
if you're gonna have dynamite and you're
gonna have meth, don't oh d yourself

1064
01:27:12.319 --> 01:27:16.520
in the parking lot of a food
line. Now od is the wrong word.

1065
01:27:16.960 --> 01:27:23.880
Don't do so much drugs you pass
out in the food line parking lot

1066
01:27:23.960 --> 01:27:26.760
because you know eventually somebody's gonna see
that, they're gonna call police. And

1067
01:27:26.800 --> 01:27:32.560
then you're this guy. We go
to Washington, North Carolina, which is

1068
01:27:33.119 --> 01:27:40.479
down by Greenville, but it's towards
the uh where the Pamlico River gets really

1069
01:27:40.479 --> 01:27:48.399
big. AnyWho. Uh So that's
what dude did and now he's in custody.

1070
01:27:48.800 --> 01:27:57.279
A man facing charges after investigators found
drugs and possible explosive devices inside a

1071
01:27:57.279 --> 01:28:06.039
car at a grocery store. Deputy
with the Beaufort County Sheriff's Office, so

1072
01:28:06.159 --> 01:28:11.800
they saw a man slumped over in
a car in the parking lot of the

1073
01:28:11.800 --> 01:28:14.960
food Lion, and so the deputy
goes up to be like, hey,

1074
01:28:15.239 --> 01:28:17.159
what's going on. Is it just
some dude catching, you know, a

1075
01:28:17.199 --> 01:28:24.199
quick nap or did he die?
And so they went investigated stuff, and

1076
01:28:24.199 --> 01:28:28.520
they made contact with the man who
had in addition to those things, he

1077
01:28:28.600 --> 01:28:32.720
also had a weapon and it was
in full view, as was some myth.

1078
01:28:32.960 --> 01:28:38.560
According to the police report, A
deeper search of the car eventually revealed

1079
01:28:38.600 --> 01:28:44.399
what appeared to be explosives. And
I saw one other story, they said

1080
01:28:44.520 --> 01:28:48.119
stick, so I would by stick. I don't know me they think stick

1081
01:28:48.159 --> 01:28:53.279
of dynamite or pipe bomber what that
means, But I guess filling what you

1082
01:28:53.319 --> 01:28:58.960
think it is. Yeah, deputy
scared the parking lot, confiscated the items.

1083
01:28:59.119 --> 01:29:01.760
Then they get you know, and
you get the bomb dudes over there

1084
01:29:01.800 --> 01:29:04.680
to check it out. But yeah, he'd have gotten away with it if

1085
01:29:04.720 --> 01:29:09.960
he hadn't done way too much meth
with everything in full view and passed out

1086
01:29:09.960 --> 01:29:15.720
at the food Line parking lot.
So you know, just some some tips

1087
01:29:15.760 --> 01:29:20.439
for you going forward. Yeah,
I'm gonna I'm gonna have to unplug from

1088
01:29:20.479 --> 01:29:30.079
sports Twitter. I think just I
just flipped over the Belichick story. That's

1089
01:29:30.119 --> 01:29:35.760
so weird. Now, hold on
the headline of the Bill Belichick story reads

1090
01:29:35.760 --> 01:29:43.000
his follows coward Bill Belichick flees New
England after twenty four years. Quote this

1091
01:29:43.199 --> 01:29:48.119
is Buffalo's division now unquote. I
didn't watch this whole thing, so he

1092
01:29:48.199 --> 01:29:51.039
said that, Huh, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't watch the

1093
01:29:51.039 --> 01:29:55.840
whole thing. Man, It was
surprising. It was that would that would

1094
01:29:55.880 --> 01:29:58.760
surprise me. He's not the first
coward to leave, though. Who is

1095
01:29:58.760 --> 01:30:02.760
that the quarterback that I have to
go to Tampa Bay? I don't even

1096
01:30:02.760 --> 01:30:04.560
know if I remember that. Yeah, I remember that guy. He was

1097
01:30:04.600 --> 01:30:06.960
like, I can't take it here
anymore. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1098
01:30:08.079 --> 01:30:11.439
And then I remember when he had
passed, like he he kind of and

1099
01:30:11.479 --> 01:30:15.399
then he didn't. He he got
so involved in the Tampa thing, like

1100
01:30:15.520 --> 01:30:18.720
he didn't properly thank some of his
fans or yeah, do you remember that?

1101
01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:24.600
Oh just classless? No, But
like they well, it's not even

1102
01:30:24.720 --> 01:30:28.680
just that part. It's the part
where they're like, where does he go?

1103
01:30:28.840 --> 01:30:32.399
Now? Why does he have to
go somewhere now? And I'm not

1104
01:30:32.479 --> 01:30:36.359
doing this because I think like the
theory is, like people are thinking he

1105
01:30:36.439 --> 01:30:42.119
wants to beat Don Jula's record of
most wins, and I think he's only

1106
01:30:42.199 --> 01:30:45.600
like fifty, like nineteen or something. Away. They're figuring he wants to

1107
01:30:45.600 --> 01:30:46.840
beat the record, but maybe he
just wants to hang out on a beach

1108
01:30:46.920 --> 01:30:49.920
somewhere, you know, right,
That's what I'm thinking. Like he's he's

1109
01:30:49.960 --> 01:30:54.520
made a few bucks, right hopefully, you know, I'm hoping he invested

1110
01:30:54.560 --> 01:30:58.960
it, okay, but he's made
a few dollars. But you know,

1111
01:30:59.119 --> 01:31:02.880
right now, I have to imagine
that between Nick Saban and Bill Belichick,

1112
01:31:02.960 --> 01:31:09.479
there's some really interesting phone calls with
lots of money attached being made, right,

1113
01:31:09.840 --> 01:31:12.760
and Saban's what's seventy two? I
don't know how old Belichick is,

1114
01:31:14.359 --> 01:31:17.439
but you know those two are just
sucking up so much of the oxygen there.

1115
01:31:18.399 --> 01:31:21.279
And they go on in the story
and they're talking about so first ballot

1116
01:31:21.319 --> 01:31:25.479
hall of Famer? Would you agree
with that? Ross you think he's a

1117
01:31:25.479 --> 01:31:29.600
first ballot Hall of Famer? YEA. With Tom Brady? Sure well?

1118
01:31:29.640 --> 01:31:31.720
And that's that was gonna be my
question. Without Tom Brady has a losing

1119
01:31:31.760 --> 01:31:40.279
records though, I mean, is
that something if you're on the committee that

1120
01:31:40.319 --> 01:31:45.199
votes on these says something you contemplate. Because here's here's the problem that Belichick

1121
01:31:45.239 --> 01:31:49.159
is gonna run into. Okay,
He's going to run into the part where

1122
01:31:49.960 --> 01:31:59.720
he had a very how do I
say this, tumultuous relationship with members of

1123
01:31:59.760 --> 01:32:04.239
this sports media who are also the
people who weigh in on stuff like this,

1124
01:32:05.279 --> 01:32:10.199
And it'll be very interesting to see
if that, if if that impacts

1125
01:32:10.199 --> 01:32:14.600
it in any way. Right,
some guy was cheese because Belichick told him

1126
01:32:14.600 --> 01:32:16.000
off in a in a pressor,
which he's been known to do, and

1127
01:32:16.039 --> 01:32:20.079
he's just been stewing for years and
now this is his chance to do something.

1128
01:32:20.800 --> 01:32:27.359
I don't know, but the thought
did cross my mind. Would you

1129
01:32:27.439 --> 01:32:30.840
be would you be sad if he
was like consultant for you or something or

1130
01:32:30.880 --> 01:32:33.239
not as a coach? No,
if not at all. Okay, I

1131
01:32:33.359 --> 01:32:38.039
see this from NBC New York.
The article we put up about is him

1132
01:32:38.119 --> 01:32:43.279
leaving. It says breaking Bill Bill
Belichick, who lost two Super Bowls to

1133
01:32:43.319 --> 01:32:47.520
the Giants. I expected to part
ways with the Patriots. Are you moonlighting?

1134
01:32:47.560 --> 01:32:51.680
Are you working on you got a
second job? You gotta you gotta

1135
01:32:51.720 --> 01:32:56.760
side hustle. You're writ in headlines
for NBC Now it was NBC New York.

1136
01:32:57.000 --> 01:33:02.840
That's great. Ah, that's some
that's some good troll right there.

1137
01:33:04.640 --> 01:33:09.079
Yeah. Yeah, I don't if
I'm Belichick, man, I'm just like

1138
01:33:10.960 --> 01:33:14.279
to get me to a Aruba or
something, right, I don't even know.

1139
01:33:14.319 --> 01:33:17.439
I don't even know where if he
vacations, but like and and same

1140
01:33:17.560 --> 01:33:21.359
with saving. But I don't know. Man. There's also the part where

1141
01:33:21.359 --> 01:33:26.840
it's like it's very addicting, Like
I you know, I know several radio

1142
01:33:26.920 --> 01:33:32.880
guys who've made more than enough money
by almost anyone's standard, because you know,

1143
01:33:32.880 --> 01:33:36.279
they've been around so long that they
worked under what you know, the

1144
01:33:36.319 --> 01:33:43.640
nostalgic contracts of yesteryear, right,
and so they've made crap ton of money

1145
01:33:43.720 --> 01:33:46.439
all that they have no reason,
and yet every day they pop in and

1146
01:33:46.479 --> 01:33:50.199
they do their show, and they're
well into their seventies. I'm not saying

1147
01:33:50.239 --> 01:33:55.159
they should retire. Two of them
are friends of mine. But I'm just

1148
01:33:55.319 --> 01:34:00.800
like, if I'm at that age, and let's say that, I feel

1149
01:34:00.840 --> 01:34:03.159
like I'm more than financially secure at
that point. It's just a judgment call.

1150
01:34:03.279 --> 01:34:06.680
It's like, you know, for
the love of the thing radio in

1151
01:34:06.760 --> 01:34:11.760
our case, or football coaching and
Saban and Belichick's and I don't know,

1152
01:34:13.319 --> 01:34:15.319
but yeah, I would you know, the shula thing. I forgot about

1153
01:34:15.319 --> 01:34:18.520
that. Maybe Hey, let's get
stage akin here and talk about this.

1154
01:34:19.520 --> 01:34:25.399
Yep. So read Ross read the
headline from NBC New York. This is

1155
01:34:25.439 --> 01:34:28.760
great. Yeah, this is Bill
Belichick, who lost two Super Bowls to

1156
01:34:28.800 --> 01:34:33.640
the Giants, expected to part the
Patriots. I love that. That's great,

1157
01:34:33.720 --> 01:34:39.560
man. Ah, Yeah, that's
the way to look at his career.

1158
01:34:39.640 --> 01:34:43.279
Right. What was that the post? No NB, the NBC,

1159
01:34:44.079 --> 01:34:47.119
NBC. YEA. But here's the
thing, and we're talking because in the

1160
01:34:47.119 --> 01:34:51.319
story they're like a first ballot Hall
of Fame or no question. But if

1161
01:34:51.560 --> 01:35:00.279
if he doesn't have a certain player, he's not an exceptional coach. Yeah

1162
01:35:00.359 --> 01:35:03.520
No, Like he has a losing
record without Tom Brady. Yeah, so

1163
01:35:04.159 --> 01:35:08.439
I don't know if that factors in. I don't care either way, but

1164
01:35:08.520 --> 01:35:11.399
I just I wonder about these things. Yeah. Yeah, And you probably

1165
01:35:11.399 --> 01:35:14.680
look at all the great coaches,
they probably have one thing in common,

1166
01:35:15.079 --> 01:35:19.600
right, probably the great quarterback at
least once that had the tenure. But

1167
01:35:19.920 --> 01:35:24.520
you know, if you layered that
with what maybe well look at ten or

1168
01:35:24.600 --> 01:35:29.079
fifteen years with one team. Well, but look at uh Cower, Bill

1169
01:35:29.159 --> 01:35:33.840
Cower, right right, Like,
I mean he had Roethelisberger for a while,

1170
01:35:34.159 --> 01:35:39.279
but you know, ultimately Cower excelled. And I'm trying. They had

1171
01:35:39.279 --> 01:35:44.159
a whole litany of quarterbacks over that
time. Who was even the quarterback for

1172
01:35:44.960 --> 01:35:46.560
his last Super Bowl? I try
to remember the guy, old Donnell?

1173
01:35:47.119 --> 01:35:53.199
Was it the old Donald? No? No, Bubby Brister. Oh geez,

1174
01:35:53.199 --> 01:35:55.880
all right, we're in now,
we're in it. But but but

1175
01:35:56.039 --> 01:36:00.920
you know, he excelled in multiple
different places with multiple different you know,

1176
01:36:01.000 --> 01:36:05.199
people at the helm, so to
speak. So I would say compare it

1177
01:36:05.239 --> 01:36:10.640
to Belichick though, how many Super
Bowls did he win? Right, So

1178
01:36:10.720 --> 01:36:13.760
that's kind of the lens I would
use. I mean, you could get

1179
01:36:13.800 --> 01:36:17.560
there or how many wins did he
have? I don't know if it's as

1180
01:36:17.680 --> 01:36:21.760
if it's an apples to apples comparison, well not, probably have an MVP

1181
01:36:23.479 --> 01:36:30.000
quality quarterback such as yourself. Yeah, come on, man, when they're

1182
01:36:30.000 --> 01:36:34.760
talking about him in that discussion in
the back listen, a lot is going

1183
01:36:34.840 --> 01:36:38.319
to ride on what happened is the
playoffs, not only for him but also

1184
01:36:38.439 --> 01:36:42.920
for Lamar Jackson. Yeah. I
mean if if he goes if he goes

1185
01:36:42.960 --> 01:36:45.760
down in a in a bad way
in terms of it, and Dak excels,

1186
01:36:45.840 --> 01:36:49.319
then it gets NFC Championship. I
think he has to get there to

1187
01:36:49.359 --> 01:36:55.119
win it. Lamar probably not as
much, but I think those two are

1188
01:36:55.119 --> 01:36:59.079
the two that are Hey, all
right, well we'll carry this conversation on

1189
01:36:59.159 --> 01:37:01.960
next week because we got some weather
and yeah, we don't get that to

1190
01:37:02.039 --> 01:37:04.880
you. Yeah, it could get
a little tricky to our dinner time.

1191
01:37:04.920 --> 01:37:09.359
West to east this afternoon. We
do have a wind advisory. So any

1192
01:37:10.000 --> 01:37:13.520
wind that occurs outside of thunderstorms,
especially late today and tonight, could go

1193
01:37:13.600 --> 01:37:16.680
forty plus miles per hour, So
be aware that showers thunderstorms coming in late

1194
01:37:16.720 --> 01:37:21.079
this afternoon into tonight. There still
may be some severe storms with wind and

1195
01:37:21.159 --> 01:37:25.199
hail, even the risk of an
isolated tornado, but I think that threat

1196
01:37:25.279 --> 01:37:29.000
is lessened, but it's not zero, so just remember that better chances down

1197
01:37:29.039 --> 01:37:32.560
to our south. Sunshine then returns
for Saturday and Sunday upper forties to low

1198
01:37:32.600 --> 01:37:36.359
fifties, but with a breeze whipping
at times, it's going to feel chillier.

1199
01:37:36.359 --> 01:37:40.960
The nighttime lows will be a few
degrees on either side of thirty.

1200
01:37:41.840 --> 01:37:45.520
Monday, cloudy upper forties, and
then by Monday night Tuesday, chance of

1201
01:37:45.640 --> 01:37:48.239
rain or maybe a little wintry precept. So that'll be what we'll be talking

1202
01:37:48.239 --> 01:37:51.000
about on Tuesday. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I

1203
01:37:51.039 --> 01:37:56.119
was on the phone. Were you
talking about mvpce Yeah? Which is name?

1204
01:37:56.319 --> 01:38:00.479
Josh? Hey, I don't see
I don't see I don't see I

1205
01:38:00.479 --> 01:38:02.319
don't see Dak and I don't see
Lamar up on the mountain with Peppa Pig

1206
01:38:02.399 --> 01:38:05.520
and Aliens. Did you see that
commercial? I saw? Now it's commercial?

1207
01:38:05.600 --> 01:38:10.520
Oh please okay? Yeah, MVP
Yeah, and you know what I

1208
01:38:10.560 --> 01:38:15.600
looked ross the Winter store morning for
Buffalo's in effect tomorrow afternoon through Monday through

1209
01:38:15.680 --> 01:38:19.560
Monday. I mean that can be
a very interesting It depends on where the

1210
01:38:19.560 --> 01:38:23.319
band sets up. Now everybody knows. If you don't know about Lake effect,

1211
01:38:23.479 --> 01:38:27.319
it's very localize. It could be, yeah, snowing at the stadium

1212
01:38:27.399 --> 01:38:29.800
or not. But a couple of
miles or even a mile down the road,

1213
01:38:29.800 --> 01:38:30.399
they could be getting pasty. No, no, no, no,

1214
01:38:30.479 --> 01:38:34.800
Ross wants to snow on the visitors
side of the stadium. He's right,

1215
01:38:34.840 --> 01:38:40.920
and that's possible too, to get
it. Hey, I am prepared for

1216
01:38:41.039 --> 01:38:45.319
possible disappointment. It comes with the
territory. I'm good. You know it's

1217
01:38:45.359 --> 01:38:47.039
bad. When the line moved.
The line moved down seven on that game.

1218
01:38:47.119 --> 01:38:51.199
So yeah, really there you go, all right, what's the right

1219
01:38:51.439 --> 01:38:56.039
there's thirty six now, but it
was forty two. Oh okay, so

1220
01:38:56.159 --> 01:38:58.760
actually we're going get the forty three. I guess you could move seven.

1221
01:38:58.840 --> 01:39:00.880
So that's what I'm all right.
I got a roll of thanks man,

1222
01:39:00.880 --> 01:39:09.720
appreciated day with Jeff. Jeff.
What's happening? Okay, see, good

1223
01:39:09.720 --> 01:39:14.359
morning. We have a new reading
on wholesale inflation from Washington The government's Producer

1224
01:39:14.479 --> 01:39:18.159
Price Index ticked a little lower last
month, falling one tenth one percent.

1225
01:39:18.439 --> 01:39:23.840
Economists we're expecting a tenth of a
percent increase now. The PPI is not

1226
01:39:24.000 --> 01:39:28.359
regarded as important as the CPI,
which we got yesterday, but this is

1227
01:39:28.399 --> 01:39:31.640
still welcome news. Stock market futures
still just a little bit lower, but

1228
01:39:31.680 --> 01:39:36.239
they have improved since that reading came
out. Now futures are down ninety six

1229
01:39:36.319 --> 01:39:44.079
points. The Federal Aviation Administration is
increasing its oversight of Boeing's production and manufacturing

1230
01:39:44.119 --> 01:39:48.640
operations after last Friday's accident on one
of the company's passenger jets. Delta Airlines

1231
01:39:48.680 --> 01:39:54.600
adjusted fourth quarter profit top Wall Street
forecasts, but the carrier is backing off

1232
01:39:54.640 --> 01:39:59.760
on its profit goals for twenty twenty
four. Delta says persistently higher costs are

1233
01:39:59.800 --> 01:40:03.960
off setting the gains from the rebound
in international travel. More consumers falling behind

1234
01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:09.800
on their credit card payments. The
Philadelphia Fed reports the percentage of card balances

1235
01:40:09.840 --> 01:40:13.840
at least thirty days past due is
the highest now in more than a decade,

1236
01:40:14.000 --> 01:40:17.840
and the sheriff cardholders making just the
minimum monthly payment has risen above ten

1237
01:40:17.920 --> 01:40:23.000
percent for the first time. Since
before the pandemic. In Casey, a

1238
01:40:23.039 --> 01:40:26.840
lot of people who got a taste
of remote work during the pandemic want jobs

1239
01:40:26.880 --> 01:40:30.560
they can do from home. There
are a lot of advantages to such positions,

1240
01:40:30.600 --> 01:40:33.399
but new data suggests the lack of
FaceTime can be a setback to a

1241
01:40:33.439 --> 01:40:39.800
worker's career. The Wall Street Journal
says an analysis by Live data Technologies found

1242
01:40:39.840 --> 01:40:44.279
that remote workers get fewer promotions than
people who work in the office at least

1243
01:40:44.520 --> 01:40:47.039
part of the time. Casey,
all right, thank you very much,

1244
01:40:47.159 --> 01:40:51.560
and we're gonna we'll see you tuesday. That's correct. I'm off also,

1245
01:40:51.880 --> 01:40:55.359
all right, all right, have
a nice long weekend. Yeah, take

1246
01:40:55.399 --> 01:41:00.279
here there. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg
News, Ross, you would agree that,

1247
01:41:00.399 --> 01:41:03.760
you know, even with everything going
on over in Israel, like,

1248
01:41:04.039 --> 01:41:08.840
uh, you know, you don't
want to see reporters killed or targeted,

1249
01:41:08.920 --> 01:41:11.720
right, you don't want to see
that, That's right. Yeah, regardless

1250
01:41:11.760 --> 01:41:15.640
of you know, any of the
discussions we have about you know, actual

1251
01:41:15.520 --> 01:41:18.920
you know, pushback on things that
reporters, right, you know, you

1252
01:41:18.920 --> 01:41:24.319
still don't want to see him targeted. What about part time reporters? Maybe

1253
01:41:24.359 --> 01:41:27.920
part time? I mean, it's
a tough industry, so you know,

1254
01:41:28.000 --> 01:41:30.000
there's a lot of a lot of
in media where people are doing like,

1255
01:41:30.079 --> 01:41:32.680
you know, thirty hours a week
kind of stuff. I know a couple

1256
01:41:32.720 --> 01:41:35.399
of reporters in that in that,
but you don't want to see him targeted,

1257
01:41:35.479 --> 01:41:40.479
right, they're part time reporters.
I mean, I guess no,

1258
01:41:40.560 --> 01:41:45.840
I would not. Okay, good, But if their side hustle was making

1259
01:41:45.920 --> 01:41:47.840
bombs for Hamas, Okay, that's
probably different than Yeah, I knew that

1260
01:41:47.800 --> 01:41:51.079
there was gonna be something. But
he's got a press credential, see so

1261
01:41:51.079 --> 01:41:57.399
so yeah, okay, yeah,
but he's got well, yeah, he

1262
01:41:57.479 --> 01:42:01.359
had the press credential and then he
get you know, they greased him and

1263
01:42:01.359 --> 01:42:05.520
then everyone's like, oh my gosh, they killed a reporter, and yeah,

1264
01:42:05.960 --> 01:42:12.439
kind of uh it turns out,
uh the dude also, in addition

1265
01:42:12.600 --> 01:42:17.399
to wearing a flack jacket with the
word media on it in Arabic, was

1266
01:42:17.560 --> 01:42:29.520
also identified as one of the rocket
makers for Hamas. What a side hustle

1267
01:42:29.600 --> 01:42:32.479
man, right, Like, yeah, you're not getting the hours in your

1268
01:42:32.520 --> 01:42:35.399
reporting job. If it doesn't even
sound like that was relieving a thing.

1269
01:42:35.439 --> 01:42:39.199
But you're like, I gotta do
some do I do? I do?

1270
01:42:39.279 --> 01:42:46.600
I do? Uber eats or do
I make rockets for hamas Uh, everything's

1271
01:42:46.680 --> 01:42:50.319
just nuts. But yeah, that's
uh, that's the update right there.

1272
01:42:51.199 --> 01:42:57.159
Hamza l Duda Dudah. His last
name is dudof Really, I guess I

1273
01:42:57.199 --> 01:43:03.039
hadn't read that out loud before.
Oh yeah, also known arms maker dude.

1274
01:43:03.039 --> 01:43:05.079
All right, real quick, don
I got about a minute. What's

1275
01:43:05.159 --> 01:43:10.479
up, Good morning, Casey.
I'm calling to complain about the smack being

1276
01:43:10.520 --> 01:43:15.359
spoken of about Bill Belichick. Was
there we were analyst? No, no,

1277
01:43:15.520 --> 01:43:20.399
no, no no. The NBC
article that was that's just funny.

1278
01:43:20.479 --> 01:43:25.359
That's true. Though he did lose
to to the Giants. He did,

1279
01:43:25.439 --> 01:43:30.239
but you know what, he won
two rings with the Giants defense coordinat defensive

1280
01:43:30.279 --> 01:43:38.800
coordinator hostile. These are unbiased opinions. I don't understand. You guys are

1281
01:43:38.800 --> 01:43:42.560
trying to make it sound like he's
going to go sell cars. I don't

1282
01:43:42.560 --> 01:43:45.119
know. That's what John Elway did
and he made a billion dollars. So

1283
01:43:45.680 --> 01:43:49.800
you know what. And as far
as Bill Belichick, remember he's the one

1284
01:43:49.800 --> 01:43:55.279
who decided to take out Drew Bletsoe
and put Brady in and they won the

1285
01:43:55.319 --> 01:44:00.640
championship because he was the one who
decided that. Yeah, tires because tires

1286
01:44:00.720 --> 01:44:03.680
would be deflated probably. Oh that's
a good point. Yeah, selling cars

1287
01:44:03.680 --> 01:44:05.439
would deflated tires. Nobody wants that
