All right, good morning everybody, and welcome if he is six eight here
on our five day study of how boys goes from one to I don't know,
I feel about a five to day. So we're good. Right Friday,
we should be back where we need to be right before we we totally
ditch you for a couple of two free weeks. So all right, coming
up on the show today, boy oh boy, you know we're getting into
those I don't call it lazy journalism kind of the year a part of the
but kind of is. You know, news starts winding down. There's still
plenty in Washington, and today could be very interesting about a half hour after
the show's done. I'll explain why here in just a bit. But you
know, you get into the ah, what's the word of the year,
what's no stredamis think, which is always embellished. So we got a few
of those, and then you know, people then go right, go write
a bunch more stuff about it, and everything just kind of winds down,
and I look, I don't know that I hate it from a prep standpoint,
although I hate it less since we started really backloading vacation here at the
end of the year. So yeah, we got a few of those stories
in there. Also. I knew. I knew this morning after I saw
this story yesterday, that there would be an email eating in my inbox by
a certain listener commenting on it because it's booze related. And sure enough,
the show's Booze correspondent, Boston Paul got it. So yes, thank you,
Boston Paul. I do have the story. Maybe you should try it
and let us know how it goes. I mean, something to do right
h Ross. By the way, are you familiar with the booze stories.
I've had like nine people send it to me. But a there's now a
Dorito's Nacho Cheese liquor. Yeah. No, I saw a photo of that
yesterday. I thought it was a joke. I don't believe it's a joke.
I believe it's one of these publicity stunts like remember Mac and Cheese did
something to you know, So that's what you do. It's a nice little
gag gift you can get somebody, I guess for for Christmas. That's I
they'll sell all of them. Let's just be let's just be abundantly honest,
because it's just meme worthy. But yeah, so Nacho cheese, Dorito's booze.
If that's something you're into, I don't know what you do with that.
Maybe I guess maybe a bloody mary that. No, even the words
coming out of my mouth, that doesn't sound good. But yeah, so
that's the thing. But thank you, yes, first email in this morning.
Uh, and it's exactly what I expected, so to appreciate that.
Speaking of the Words of the Year, I don't know many of the contenders,
and every year the list comes out, there's more and more words that
I don't know, like ross. Do you know what riz is? Our
eyes? I know it's a word that I think was created by a twitch
guy or stream Oh I'm sure, yeah, yeah, I'm sure that a
lot of these words have online origin. I had to look it up.
Uh, it is style, charmed. I was gonna say, I was
gonna guess like swag. Yeah right, dude, I have so white drip
Yeah yeah, like that Rick Flair drip. No, no, no,
I know, but it just I literally my thought in my head. The
thing I thought when you said drip is he's so white, and then you
said it out loud. I was gonna say we so white because I didn't
know what Riz was so yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so wait
what's this other? And then they you know, this is where it gets
bad because I'm looking at the definition and then they go into uh all you
know other words that are similar, and fridge is one. Fridge is where
you put your stuff your food, right is that? I mean, that's
another thing. It's Oxford's word of the by the way, which I'm actually
surprised because I thought AI would be considering murder bots and uh, you know,
doomsday duck battle royales, and you know, every everything else. We're
using it for deep fake nudes, manipulating elections, you know, all the
all the stuff, all the stuff that's out there. But yeah, there's
there's quite a few. So we may, if only to aide you when
you're gathering with some of your you know, with the family, and you
can't figure out what the hell the tweens are talking about and you think they're
insulting you, but you're not sure. I'm gonna little army with some information.
Okay, we got Florida appearance. Man. You know, we've had
a lot of Florida women over Florida men, and I love to see it.
I love the diversity and inclusion and equity, the dye trifecta that it
represents, and that's really great to see that ladies are stepping up to the
stepping up to the plate here. But on the more serious side, I
mentioned something happens or is supposed to happen at nine point thirty today. What
was supposed to happen, what is supposed to happen is Hunter Biden is supposed
to submit for the deposition portion of his testimony. Now, remember the game
that's being played here. The deposition portion of the testimony in all aspects,
including throughout the entirety of the January sixth stuff, the entirety of both of
the impeachment inquiries into Donald Trump, and of course hearings well well before that,
as historical precedent included two portions. You include one that is the deposition,
that is the private, and you do one that's the public. And
one of the reasons you got to do the private is because there are answers
and questions and things and topics and documents and all sorts of stuff that you
can't openly question people on in a public setting. Right they can invoke that
this is privileged or this is privileged is the wrong word, but would be
appropriate offline, so to speak er out of the public. So you do
the deposition part first and then you have the public hearing. So what a
Hunter's lawyers want to do? They said, ah, were they? They
all of a sudden, are these you know, sunshine law? Free speech?
Put everything out in the open where everyone can see it. There are
no secrets, advocates. And the reason that they're doing that, there's a
few reasons, but the main reason is then they don't have to submit to
any of the behind the scenes stuff that might actually because remember some of the
stuff they're asking Hunter Biden about very much touches into national security. Those documents
where it was prospectuses for a perspectus I don't know what's the plural of that
perspect I I don't know, but basically business pitches right to foreign governments and
foreign entities included research that was secret, research that was classified, research that
also just so happened to be included in some of the documents that Biden had
in his garage. So if you want to look really impressive from a consultancy
standpoint, and you have access to data that could be very very useful,
you get them a little wet the whistle man, give him a little taste.
Now, whether that is in fact one hundred percent how that was arrived
at, we don't know. But it's very interesting that something that most people
don't have access to was a word for word included in things by an individual
who would be in proximity to access because they're sitting in boxes in his dad's
garage. Man. And look, that's just the start of you got money
transfer, You've got all sorts of stuff. So you do the one thing
and then you do the other thing. But if they do the one thing
in front of the public only, then they will absolutely refuse to do the
other thing. And that is strategic because they will say, look, we
submitted to your questions and nothing happened, and we're not going to waste our
time anymore. So what will happen at nine point thirty is he will either
show up for his deposition or he won't. And if he doesn't, this
is where Republicans will have to decide do they want to In the same way
that they went after Steve Bannon, the Democrats went after Steve Bannon and many
others that they've ever threatened with this to the point of getting them to comply
or did in fact seat charges or successfully get charges. Will Comber and crew
hold him in contempt for violating and ignoring a congressional subpoena. So yeah,
yeah, it will either get really dicey or Republicans go okay and they'll eore
their way out of this. We'll see, but you know, some to
put on the old calendar today. All right, six seventeen k COO Day
Radio program back in just a few thank you. Case is on ninety four
to five WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, good morning, six twenty two and welcome back cac O
Day Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Oh boy, you want to see some irony, so you can see
it. But you know it's radio, so you're gonna hear a curse.
This story yesterday, man, this story yesterday. A member of the Turkish
Parliament. All right, excuse me. They call it the Grand National Assembly,
not parliament whatever you get the GISTs they're congress. His name is Hassan
Bismet and you're not I know you're gonna be is everybody sitting down, Ross,
you sitting down, Oh yeah, seated, Ross is seated, You're
all seated. This Turkish member part not a fan of the Jews, not
a fan, and hing to express it as he took to a podium yesterday
to excoriate Israel. And let's see you here at the top. Let's see
do do do all right, hold on, here we go speaking out strongly
against Israel, shouting about Israel uh suffering the wrath of Allah. So you
know, standard political bloviating, but of a Turkish variety with big scoops of
anti Semitism. So he gets done screaming, and immediately I don't even I
don't even say quite done. Immediately I guess Allah answers. I don't know,
nip it is it? Say hey, I said, I'm all right
see And then you hear that woman very concerned because what has happened is he's
wrapping up his uh, you know, I'll wipe out Israel thing. Dude
has a massive heart attack. Dude is up on a podium asking for his
you know, his his enemies to to be purged. And the response is
uh, And here's a massive heart attack for you and some people found a
little bit of irony in that. I'm not gonna lie on the internet myself
included yesterday reading that story. But although ironically people's reaction is to post things
back that says who blesses Israel be blessed to who curses Israel be cursed?
And I don't know, with karma that thick floating around this, I just
want to I just kind of reposted the video and said it's ironic, best
not enter into it. But yeah, yeah, that's the thing that happened
yesterday, and I'd be very curious to see. I don't know if they
have Sunday panel shows, but what that discussion looks like. Oh man,
by the way, I read a story this morning. It's not in the
stack. But this dude, are you guys familiar with this chef they arrested
up in Canada? Okay, this is crazy. So a chef, a
chef and formerly one of the best restaurants in all of Canada. Right,
you're one of the best chefs in all of your country, albeit a country
its slightly less population, but still impressive. Has he opened a side hustle?
Guy's named Kenneth Law. It's a little ironic as he is now facing
tons of murder charges, not because he he poisoned a thing of food or
because he was reckless carving up a puffer fish or whatever for the I canmera
with the Japanese call that. But no, according to officials, the former
chef had a side hustle selling suicide kits, homemade suicide kits. In fact,
authority say he sold more than twelve hundred suicide kicks kits. And it's
not it was not just the poison, which there is actual preservation. You
sodium nitrate, which is obviously readily available to people within the restaurant industry.
It has preservative properties, but you don't let it actually touch food, and
so he had access to a bunch of it. So that, coupled with
a custom mask he designed in a hose system, were sold on the internet
and he didn't care who he sold to. In fact, according to authorities
in forty countries, some of the people who used the kit to take their
own life were children. Let's see here, how much did he charge for
this thing? I don't know what his costs versus this would be a really
creepy episode of shark take Actually sixty dollars that's what it costs to buy it,
and they say one hundred and seventeen of his clients are known to have
used it, but they think it might be more because some places don't report
quite as well, or sometimes people weren't concerned. But yeah, yeah,
this dude is a friggin monster. Man, keeping you connected. This is
ninety four or five WPTI and the Triad and one six one FM Talk and
the Triad Goal. Sorry, good morning everybody, and welcome back. It
is six thirty four. An amazing what an amazing story. Man. Wow,
I'm referring you to the the Biden Philadelphia story. So if you don't
know about this buckle in kids. So this took place during Now what was
he actually there for, Let's say, because I want to see if the
story is really okay, So he was there for a Safer Grant award,
all right, So federal funding, big pile of money that hit the Philadelphia
Fire Department. Okay, all right, so I guess you're talking rescue first
responders. So the little it'll be a little connection here. And then,
for whatever reason, Biden launched into a story I was not familiar with,
but I might it might be one of those stories I lead with. So
the fact that we hadn't heard it or I've never heard it, maybe you'd
heard it before, is amazing. I'm not going to ruin it. This
is I will only say that this is when he had his brain aneurysm in
the nineteen eighties. Okay, so that's the context. Here's the story.
I had a cranny landrism. I wasn't It was the middle of a snowstorm.
Not a joke. I couldn't figure out how for President Reagan was nice
enough to send Air Force a helicopter one take me down and it couldn't fly.
Wait, so so you had your annurit. That's true. He did
have an aneurysm. And again I don't wish that upon anybody. And there
was a snowstorm and Ronald Reagan called you and said that he would send Air
Force. I'm assuming you mean Marine one. Was it called Marine one back
in nineteen eighty one or whatever, I don't know. So the President of
the United States offered to send you Marine one, which is utilized for him
in some cases for rapid transport to Air Force one or for other situations to
come fly you to the hospital in conditions other helicopters wouldn't fly in. I
just so were abundantly clear. Have any of you ever heard that story?
And we might we pull a bunch of Biden Naudio around these parts. Ross.
You never heard that story, have you? Uh? No, that's
a first. That's amazing though, right Would that be an amazing story to
tell your kids and grandkids that Reagan sent you as private helicopter to get you
to the hospital. Ah, that'd be crazy. And and I just feel
like I feel like you would lead with that. You know, it's more
interesting too, because now people are debating and they're argue it didn't happen,
or that did happen or whatever. I would point out that, by the
way, it is not in any way recorded in any of Biden or Reagan's
notes, records, diaries. You know, we have a lot of stuff.
According to report for the New York Post, Reagan's notes did mention Marine
one on that day. So they went back to the actual day that Biden
claims that it happens, and they basically looked to see and when you say
Reagan's notes, you have a combination of his his staff, anybody and it
all gets put in excuse me to an official record there. But the mention
was in reference to inclement weather not allowing Reagan to be able to use it
for an event they had that morning, which would be pretty standard. Now,
Biden's account of his trip to Walter Reed, which is where he ended
up, it makes no mention of any offer anything from the White House.
Nothing. So I don't know. They're not saying that the helicopter did show
up, but they're not saying it didn't. I don't know. You see
who else was purported to be on this helicopter, Colonel Troutman. That's amazing.
Oh wow, it came from Brada. Yeah, yeah, yeah,
came all the way up that quick man. Somebody was somebody was pointing out
like impossible fast travels in Rambo, and I'm like, you need to get
a hobby, dude, you need to Like they were, they were trying
to suss out timelines. Oh so that's the thing in Rambo that's unbelievable,
right, Yeah, that's the thing. You could get to way City that
fast. I don't care who you are. Oh he's always talking about with
the second movie. Yeah, when he's coming back with the PWS. Yep,
yep, yep. Yeah, it doesn't work. It doesn't work.
You know who else? So Troutman, they actually they wanted to actually I
have this figured out. So they were going to fly to pick up Biden.
But the c I A guy tried to pull the plug Man and uh,
it's so Biden City. Now you're talking about Murdoch. Hey, Biden
needed help? What was it? What was it? Ericson though, right,
the son of a bee? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah. They were going to They were right there, they
were hovering over the future president and all of a sudden, Ericson's like,
nah, get out of there. You got to go. H oh hey,
it's plausible. There are five marine ones. No, I know,
yeah, they have the fly in the formation of the three. Now I
understand that. I just if they can't if the president wasn't able to fly
to an event that morning, and also he's up in where's he in Delaware
when this happened. Yeah, yeah, he was in Delaware, so it
was a transport. He had been taken to a local hospital and there was
a transport then to Walter Reed but nobody mentioned. I'm just not buying it.
But now, the theory that the CIA ahole Ericsson called it off right
before they were gonna be picking up Biden, that makes more sense, and
it fits with the era, right, this is eighties, is when all
these cats were, you know, doing what they were doing. Maybe the
New York Times should look into that. There just gave you a tip.
You're welcome six forty one, eight eight, eight ninety three, four seven,
eight seventy four. Oh man, is there is one other possibility in
all seriousness, there is a possibility where Reagan did the Hey, I'd love
I'd love to, but I just can't think you know what I'm saying.
Oh man, we love to be there, but I can Yeah, the
snow, I guess I could get on. I get with that, but
I'd also be embarrassed if I was Biden on that because of how it sounds.
And I don't know that i'd tell the story he wanted, he wanted
to help me, but you know, the snow. Okay, But I
think that Ericson calling it off to cover his own butt probably more likely.
But you can be the judge. All right, Well, hold on,
I'll read I'm not gonna read that. Holy email, sir, I mean,
it's just sent me an apps diatribe. It's too early in the week
for that. What is today Wednesday? Yeah, it's too early in the
week for that, sir, But I'll give it a scan. Oberlin College,
Actually we got a couple of college stories, one about Brown and one
about Oberlin. Brown obviously or is that Providence right? Providence, Rhode Island,
one of the Ivy League schools. Apparently it has taken a slightly different
approach to some of the student nonsense on campus, I'll explain. And Oberlin
College, which is the leftist of left. Except these were also the cats
that got slapped slapped down by the court because they put that try to put
that deli or whatever it was out of business the bakery, and the bakery
won like what, twenty eight million dollars from the college because of just sheer
moon battery. Basically, they had some students who went in and tried to
shoplift, but because because they were at least one of them was a student
of color, they assembled to protest day and night this business, and that
included organization by actual university officials. Well, now they made something that I
would have said would be out of character for them. So we'll talk about
what those two universities are doing versus what we're seeing like with Harvard who doesn't
care. And we'll do that coming up next. Hang ONOURPTI and the triad.
All right, welcome back six fifty. And this is interesting, interesting
in the sense that I feel like even just six months ago, both of
these things probably wouldn't have happened. Arguably six weeks ago, I don't know.
Forty one students at Brown University who had taken over University Hall. Uh,
they want, they want, they want ceasefire, but also they want
the divestment stuff. Of course, yes, yes, yes, yes,
all right, so this is what they want. We're actually arrested. Providence
Police Department and the campus police arrested and booked all forty one students from the
Brown divest Coalition. They occupied University Hall throughout the afternoon and demanded that the
president of the university excuse me publicly call for a ceasefire and support divestment from
any Israeli military occupation. By the way, that means any company that has
ties to Israel, just so we're clear, and even some that are so
not connected except maybe by some board member who holds dual citizenship. If you've
ever seen one of these lists, they're pretty thorough. So anyway, and
they let them hang, let them hang throughout the day, but did inform
them that around five o'clock you need to go. Told them if they didn't
go, they'd be arrested. Look, we've all seen this. How many
times we watch this insanity on one of the campuses here and then they don't
do anything, or when they do do stuff, like when they were arresting
you know, Reverend Barber and his cruise down at the you at the North
Carolina Capitol Building, then they were just, ah, we're just gonna get
rid of the charges. Well, this time they weren't screwing around. And
I think I caught the kids off guard because after law enforcement announced to them
at five seventeen, hey, we told you you gotta go, and if
you don't by you know, real quick in the game of time, you're
out. And they gave one. They gave him until six, and then
at six they didn't move. Boom arrestings. And they are outraged. They
can't understand how they got arrested. They can't fathom how it came to be.
According to Clark students were informed of their arrest at six pm. And
actually, excuse me, they didn't actually start the arresting at six forty,
so they give forty additional minutes. It's a little soft. They were processed,
They weren't drugged to jail, but they were fingerprinted and processed and given
their court appearance stuff. And yeah, the student newspapers losing its damn mind.
Human rights advocates are comparing it to a Brown Shirt style crackdowns. This
is come on. Basically, the state is arresting people who are simply calling
for peace. No, they're arresting people who are trespassing. Brown University is
a private university, by the way, and more importantly, that university building
is a secure building, and I know all are, but this one is
specifically listed because of some of the things that are contained in that building.
So it is actually treated differently than if they wanted to occupy the quad or
something like that. But they didn't care, and I believe they were surprised.
I was surprised, be quite honest with you. The crowd of approximately
four hundred had gathered to support the demonstrators as they were walked out and booked
and fingerprinted, like I said, all the stuff, and they videoed all
this. They videoed themselves telling them what was gonna happen. They video yeah,
good, there you go. Look they can still hold those opinions,
and there's a ton of ways they can advocate for it, and chances are
in higher ed they'll probably get some of what they want because people in charge
probably agree with them. That being said, oh did that happen to?
Organizers also led a chant the crowd and Arabic chants, with lyrics and audio
being distributed via air drop to electronic devices. However, some counter protesters dropped
their own Oh do tell what must it have been? Do you you just
rickroll all of them? What are you doing there? And then there's just
a whole bunch of people saying shame on Brown for you know, doing exactly
what they said they do and legally are obligated to do, to be quite
honest with you, all right, So that was number one. Number two
Oberlin College, one of the most liberal colleges in all of America, so
liberal their staff got him sued for you know, thirty million bucks for harassing
a bakery for stopping a person shoplifting it was one of their own students.
They have now suspended their professor of Peace, Professor of Peace, Mohammad Ja'afar
Malhalati Mahaalati. Mohammed Jafar Mahalati Oberlin College is professor of Peace and more specifically
religion, Middle East and North Africa studies is really his field, but they
call him the Professor of Peace. All right, So why do you think
they suspended him the Professor of Peace, Well, probably this Mahaladi accused of
supporting the Palestinian terror group hamas giving students credit for writing anti Israel blogs and
uh teaching uh that Israel is a colonial colonial estate and an apartheid state.
But according to Oberlin, really the straw that broke the camel's back is allegations
from a decade ago that he also once demanded sex in exchange for good grades
and not all the other death to Jews stuff that the Professor of Peace was
uh provided providing instruction on. I'm not gonna get into the sort of little
details there, but hey, whatever, whatever the straw was, this guy,
this guy is a blight on your on your faculty. But they realize
they can't get them for that stuff, So they're gonna go with something from
decade, literally decades. I just looked at him. It was late nineties.
Mahaladi previously taught at Georgetown and Princeville. Kay, all right, anyway,
six fifty eight our one in the books coming up. We got we
got a little word of the year thing we're all gonna learn. And Florida
woman does her thing, and I gotta tell you, I wonder if she
found the legal loophole. We'll find out together. Good morning everybody, and
welcomed. It is our number two seven oh si here on the Cacoda radio
program, go number eight eight, eight ninety three, four seventy eight seventy
four. Yeah, my voice still sucks, but it's better, So you
know, like that, Oh man, sometimes you got to persevere. You
got a tough through it. Rolston, I ever tell you about the time
my ship became stranded off the floor to keys and it was it was perilous,
man, But JFK decided he was going to send rescue boats filled with
I'm assuming Cuban Coast Guard members and they literally overshot my position and had to
try to refuel in Havana. It was a mess, but obviously, thankfully
I was able to eventually be rescued. But yeah, yeah, crazy,
I've never told anybody that, So I just wanted to get that out there.
So, as you know, the President yesyesterday and in a speech saying
that back when he had his aneurysm in the eighties, that Reagan offered to
send marine one to transport him between where he was in Delaware, and Walter
reed although he said it like this, I had cranny landroism. I wasn't.
It was the middle of a snowstorm, not a joke. I couldn't
figure out how for President Reagan was nice enough to send Air Force a helicopter
one take me down, but it couldn't fly. Yeah, yeah, And
so that's the thing that almost happened because it couldn't fly. Just to be
clear there, although there's no mention of the offer, there is mention of
an ear of an event that Reagan had that day that he couldn't trans actually
go to. And I suspect what was happening is they probably didn't have any
helicopters flying, or very few. I literally I literally ran into this with
a family member who it ended up contributing to the fact to his death.
One of my family members fell and significantly hurt himself in Buffalo, Wyoming and
went to the hospital there but needed a needed a needed Billings or Casper,
and the weather was so rough that there was no way to transport him and
they were unable to successfully treat his injuries. It's crazy story, by the
way, I got receipts on that, mister Biden. So but yeah,
so that's the thing for you know, it's a I understand that, but
it's just weird because if only if you would use it previously as some sort
of bipartisan motivational story. But anyway, I'm just I'm just happy I was
able to eventually uh right the ship and get back to the US. I
don't know what happened to those Coast Guard guys, though, maybe I'll look
that up. All right, So check this out, beef. Apparently this
is so dumb. Tommy DeVito's agent, son Stiletto, who we talked about
yesterday, and then a New York Giants guy got mad because I added a
nickname over to one guy who's it's actually the other guy's nickname. So the
quarterback for the Giants, Tommy DeVito, has a nickname, and it's Tommy
Cutlets. He also has an agent who dresses like he's an extra from Sopranos,
And it did not go unnoticed by the Internet and in New York man,
I mean a guy named Tommy DeVito with an agent who looks like a
mob extra. Oh yeah, that's gonna play. But when I first read
the story, I thought the cutlets nickname was Stilato's or Stillato. I said,
Stiletto, Stillato. But no. But now in a New York Post
article, here we find out he does have a nickname. And you're going
to be shocked to learn that a pro sports agent's nickname is Slimy. And
he's not a fan. He's not a fan of his nickname Slimy, which
actually apparently goes back to college. Well, somebody told the Mannings, you
know, Eli and Peyton Manning that and they literally called him that on their
Manning cast, the thing they do on Monday, and apparently it got back
to him. Peyton Manning said, quote, the nickname's perfect for an agent
dressed in a pinstriped suit with an old time black hat. And so Slimy
Stillado decided to go on a radio show and said, yeah, that was
a nickname back in school. What about it? What are you gonna do
about it? It's funny and he he then challenged them. Luckily it doesn't
seem to be a gunfight. But and this is this is I think a
lot of this is tongue in cheek. But now he wants to race him
or something. I don't understand what's up with that? So Stillado wants to
do a forty yard dash against Peyton Manning. Look, I know Peyton mann
I know Peyton Manning's not in the league anymore, and I know that he
was predominantly a pocket passer. But I kind of feel like Peyton Manning's still
got himself a little bit. How old is Peyton Manning? He's been he's
been out of league a while. I don't know. I don't know how
old Stilado is. How retired would an NFL quarterback have to be before you
could you think you could beat him in a forty yard dash ross how many
years we're talking? Like, you know, they they're wheeling him out for
the Ring of honor or like John Madden on his last day at the home
Oh Cup cut Dow Maybe maybe, yeah, I mean there's a chance at
least, hey, he beat a duck. Though. Yeah, I'm not
promising anything doing better bite none that, but yeah, yeah, I don't.
I don't know if you want a foot race Manning. He doesn't look
that out of shape. Again, and I know he's retired, but dude's
also natural athlete. You're a guy in a fedora. But anyway, so
that continues. That's a thing. All right, let me get to this.
I don't want to talk about real stuff, but unfortunately we got to
talk about real stuff. Oh, I'm sorry you did have the audio.
I totally space it. Let me let me actually let me play the audio.
So Ross did pull that space that we had that on there? All
right? So here is here is the mannings from the the Beato's dad said
he wanted to kind of stay under the radar. He's hugging, you know,
his agent in the stands after every play, so Otto not sure,
not sure? Who? What's the agent's name again, John Blimy Stlato.
I got some inside intel and some of my boys. That was a nickname
in college. Simy. Thank you. That is great research, better than
that's better than talking to Tua. Yeah, I don't. I don't watch
any of the Manning cast stuff. I think I dipped into it once,
and it's just because the way that I normally i'm watching if I have a
game on, especially a Monday night, right school night, so to speak,
it's it's going on in the background anyway. So having additional people talking
over it doesn't allow me just to hear the the play by play of what's
happening without having to look at the TV. So uh well and then uh
he went on and h talked about it a little later. Now, Eli
said they did some diggy that was some sort of nickname that you got when
you were in college. And I never heard that nickname. Wow, uh
huh, So that's what he claims. That's what he claims. And then
like multiple people on Twitter were going, now that was it. So but
I would run away from a nickname, the nickname Slimy in college as well.
But hey, that's just me, all right, Like I said,
we got to flip over to something a litle more, a little more important.
Up in New York. Up in New York, a court order has
been entered yesterday by the New York Court of Appeals. And it's so weird
how how many similarities there are with this whole process up in New York and
the process that we watch play out in North Carolina as it pertained to redistricting
and independent redistricting commissions and special masters in all of the garbage that the Democrats
decided to pull stands stone face, straight faced, after it was abundantly clear
it wasn't a fair recommend The Supreme Court at the time of North Carolina creating
case law on a whim is exactly what's playing out in New York. And
I'm not surprised. I'll give you the details of that coming up KCODA Radio
program N four PTI and the triad and six one them talked in the Triangle.
So the top Court in New York has ordered the creation of a new
congressional map. That is bad news for Republicans up there who actually gained seats
after the last redistricting ye had the Court of Appeals ruled the Independent Redistricting Commission
will be allowed to redraw the lines. Yeah, you get in the vibe
here, right. Democrats didn't feel they got enough, even though they controlled
a good portion of it. Though they have a slightly different process up there.
They don't like how that hand out, and so they're going to go
independent to solve it. The problem is is the independent commission really tends to
lean in one direction, kind of like Colorado's and California's. It's just so
weird. Every time they have to redistrict, and then when they have an
independent commission do it, it generally robs. In Colorado, they've been able
to eliminate I think two Republican seats over the last redistricting or two redistrictings.
But it's an independent commission. And as somebody who has I've lived in Colorado
for a little while, but at least grew up out there, it's a
lot like a lot of states where you have just one core focused set of
from a population center standpoint, I mean, really Colorado. Obviously it's Denver,
and then you have some of the university stuff and four Collins. But
once you get out of there than the hippie dippy ski towns, it's hard
red man, look at a bapp of Wyoming sometime, yes, Cheyenne and
like Jackson, that's it, man. But yet somehow that's the direction they're
going to go. And ironically they're going to be using special masters and and
do this. And roughly what we saw happen in North Carolina, where we
were told this was going to be independent, there were going to be people
who had no dog in the fight. They were just out there doing what
they did to be independent and not care. And then it became we then
we found out they were communicating with the Democrats, and they're like, oh,
man, are bad. We totally forgot how we're not supposed to,
you know, get together talk about this stuff because we're independent, but only
with one side, uh susan. And basically what happened. Republicans were upset
because every time they use the word independent on this thing, they get shell
they get schalaced, and they're right if you look at the math here.
Although you could, maybe you could argue that New York is getting a little
bluer because people who are conservative or at least independent or leaving, but that
that doesn't necessarily seem to be the case. I remember, the State of
New York owner's office is won by three boroughs in New York City. That's
it. That's you carry three of those. And as as Hocal or Hochel
or whatever did, you're on your way to success. So a House Republican
Conference chairwoman, at least Stephonic, who was due what they did to her
on Saturday Night Live and what versus what they could have done with that same
material was apparently so repugnant that one of the cast members, Cecily Strong,
didn't even want to be a part of it, as they made Stephanic look
like a raving lunatic every step of the way. And the the pro pharocuse
mean the university presidents as people who were tight lip but accomplish women who are
just probably a little misguided here. But anyway, she points out that Republicans,
because they did control one side of the of the legislature of the House
and they they got, they got to use what little power they have to
try to push back on this. But of course the appeals Court is just
chock full of moonbats, so we'll see, but likely they'll probably lose at
least one seat as they go through that. Meanwhile, the governor and the
Attorney General and who wants to be governor, they've decided to add their names
to the list of folks who were crying and moaning once again over redistricting.
They lawsuit which was just like the last one, which was brought by basically
the same people all over again, claims that more minorities moved to North Carolina,
but the maps did not reflect that, and instead they say that they
used racial preference to draw maps, once again disenfranchising minority voters because you can't
use race in consideration of drawing districts except in the lawsuit. They literally want
them to use race as a factor in drawing districts. They set it themselves.
Well, the judge initially said, no, you're not going to come
in here and bring this in and try to control my calendar. So now
Cooper and Joshi, boy are they They decided to throw their throw their name
in this, see if that'll move the needle. So yo, we could,
hell, we got filing all that stuff going on, we could they
could switch everything up again. Absolutely crazy, all right, seven twenty seven
CaCO de Radi program, Quick call Casey, what's up? Hey? I
was just listening to what you're talking about going on in New York. And
obviously there are some similarities between New York and North Carolina the way the redistricting
goes. I'm just do you think that it's it's obviously it's not good for
either side to do this. What what do you think would be a better
solution? How would you handle redistricting if it were up to you? Well,
do I think that you could ever get an independent commission? No?
Because people are not dependent and it's just not working. I think that when
you have the redistricting happen, I think that it's up to the voters to
understand that whoever they have and in whatever body does it, in this case
the House, you are voting for that as well. And I think that
that's an information thing. I think that that's also something that the people who
are the political insiders get but don't always talk about on the campaign trail.
So I don't know, let me think on it. But uh, this
this process, this process is busted, man, This is all. It's
all manipulation and lawyers getting rich. Yay for that. One six one M
Talk ninety four five PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This
is Cacoday and Carolina's Morning News. All right, seven thirty five KCO Day
Radio program. Yeah, oh okay, some mom's issue was standing. So
there's this story busting around. I didn't honestly I didn't read the headline correctly
the first time, and then I just did so. Some lady posted a
video She's at Disney with her daughter and eating some breakfast. Her daughter's poor,
by the way, and U she's she said, quote seventy dollars cereal,
And I was asking ross because I didn't know. I'm like, is
it seventy dollars for a kids breakfast at Disney? But there's a couple of
things going on here. One is it let me ask, is it like
a character meeting? Great sort of thing, because they are a thing where
you can sit down and that is super expensive. Like we would know that,
we would bring like a zip block full of Cheerios'd be like, right,
yeah, buddy, yeah, yeah, yeah. This is Cinderella's Royal
Table Resort restaurant. Yeah, and it looks like the Royal Ballroom from Cinderella
that they're sitting in. Okay, but still still the little girl by the
way did what most four year olds would do, especially ones who are just
amped and want to get to the rides. She ate, She chewed on
like a few frosted flakes, had herself a little half full of frosted flakes,
and that was it, but it wasn't set. People were criticizing this,
this mother from Bellachhine and giving Disney a bad name because the seventy dollars
price tag is not the kids price, it's for adults. And that's still
a lot. But seventy dollars. You could get nabbed on brunch for seventy
dollars. You're throwing the mimosa and you could. That could happen to Raleigh.
All right, maybe two mimosas, but no, No, this dishonest
woman that now people are mad because she's making Disney look bad, is not
disclosing the fact that hers was seventy, but her daughter's half full of frosted
flakes was forty two dollars, which I believe is roughly what it costs for
a Wendy's Value meal right now, geez, just once again, every time
I don't eat, I don't eat a lot of fast food. If I'm
gonna eat a fast food burger, she's gonna be a Wendy's. And I
was bemoaning to Ross after the show yesterday about my most recent trip, and
like, I think I know what it's gonna cost, And then somehow it's
just more and more and more. Heyy, I spend like ten dollars for
a value meal man, so forty two dollars bottle or forty two dollars for
a half box of frosted flakes. There you go. Oh man, what
a license to print money, which, by the way, again makes it
so unfathomable to me the direction that Disney's taking getting into these matches with you
know, these these measuring contests with DeSantis and really half the population of the
US. Like, you have an operation. And don't get me wrong,
you built it. You got a little help obviously with some some some loose
laws down there, but you created this, and I think I think overall,
let me ask you a question, let me ask everyone a question.
Do you think because we were talking about net positive stuff having to do with
eating animals yesterday, but let me let me apply this to Disney. Do
you believe that the existence of Disney is a net societal positive today? And
would you and what would you have said twenty years ago? Do you think
that Disney, the existence of Disney and the totality of everything that is Disney,
do you believe that that is a net positive for society? I still
do. I think so. Well, obviously there's a whole bunch of stuff
that's going on right now that a lot of people are not a fan of.
But I'd say that Disney the uniformity with what Disney was able to accomplish.
I mean, you know, kids, especially in our generation, Ross,
we were Disney kids, right, I'm assuming you guys had the movies
and all that stuff that's that was Disney and so that was you know,
that was part of the childhood experience and it wasn't just for us. It
went back, you know, multiple generations, and it provided you know,
there were there were there were moralistic tales. There are also things now people
are mad meet with a don't go to Wendy, sir, and there won't
be one more person in the drive through in front of me. I digress.
So anyway, uh yeah, I mean you had multi generations the very
same movies that were that my mom was a fan of, I was when
I was a kid. I mean, obviously I don't have a lot of
control over that, but they were enjoyable. And remember, especially if you're
right around uh Ross and I's age that we were when VHS because previously,
if you went if you saw Disney movie, you went to the theater and
saw it, but you didn't have a copy of it. And then Disney
was able to start getting him out on you know, home video and it
was on Man and all of that. And people have had criticisms whether it's
anti Semitism, allegations by Walt of Walt Disney. Uh, what is I
think proven? Now? Political manipulation by Disney. This this audit that they
did down there is bonkers. When you see how it looks, it looks
almost like entertainment level movie villain criminal, kind of a little behind the scenes
stuff that Disney's involved themselves in and attempting to manipulate basically their own fiefdom within
the state of Florida. It's crazy. But also if if you're somebody who's
like, you know, share price at all cost. What a scenario is,
if you were an unscrupulous individual and you were presented with a scenario where
you could possibly lord and rule over yourself for all practical purposes, you jump
on that train. Man, But then you have all this other stuff.
You got everything that Disney's doing. Now you have, you know, everything
that's coming out and more and more will come out and you have these really
really divisive issues where a company who traditionally stayed out of that is is deep
in it. Plus they covered up all those alligator deaths by making up smelting
accidents and stuff is proven on this show. So all right, maybe the
last one's not proven, but I feel like we're working. We got some
strong theories on that. It's just way too many coincidences. So, yeah,
is Disney a net positive phone number? Eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four And would your answer today be the same as it was
I don't know twenty thirty, forty or whatever age you were when you first
encountered Disney. Okay, but yeah, forty two dollars forty two dollars for
a thing of hosted flakes? Is that's a license to kill man? That's
crazy? All right? Raced agent from the he'll be coming up here in
just a just a moment as we got a little chili. It's gonna be
chilli the rest of the morning, spending, then a little rain over the
weekend. He'll lay out all of the details with that. Uh and uh,
we'll you know, we'll get our little Disney discussion going. Also coming
up on the show. Oh yeah, the Flora. I gotta do the
Florida Woman. Oh. I can't wait to do the Florida Woman's story.
That is that is, this is It's an amazing, incredibly dangerous and horrible
story and thankfully nobody was hurt. But we'll get to that as well.
But first, like I said, raced agic here from the Weather Channel to
freeze you and then bows you. Uh oh yeah, yeah, it's what
he does. Right well, I mean this is not a bad run.
I mean it's cold, but it's not I would say terribly cold. We're
not breaking records and along in terms of temperatures, the six to ten day
outlook is basically at our above average for most of the US. So that
gets us into next week and heading toward the weekend before Christmas Day. So
right now, our next precipitation event coming in could be a decent one in
the end of the weekend early next week, and it looks like it is
going to be rain easily. And I don't say that lightly because a lot
of things in this business case he as you know, the weather business aren't
easy. But it's easy. The next few days, mid upper fifties today.
Tomorrow, we do back off a little bit, will start the day
in the upper twenties and low thirties and wrap it up close to fifty later.
But we'll still see a fair supply sunshine each day Friday and Saturday.
Sunday mid to upper fifties, maybe sixty by Saturday, and then that rain
comes in Sunday afternoon. Sunday night into Monday can have some heavy rain in
some spots, depending on the track of intensity. And yo, here's what
I fight. You know, we get to Tuesday and one of the models,
the American model, keeps this low hanging around off the coast, and
the European model already has it well up into the Canadian Maritimes. So there's
going to be some massaging to the forecast. I certainly think some rain.
The question how long does it stick around and how much will we get?
But I do plan on seeing at least a Sunday afternoon being indoor stuff,
same thing for Monday, and the rain potentially lingering into the first couple of
days of next week. So yeah, it looks pretty good until then.
But earlier, yeah, I did you know, I was kind of looking
for a little sympathy. It's you know, sometimes it's tough. How the
hardest thing you gotta do is what point the monkeys at the dartboard and make
sure that right, okay, exactly exactly, you know, we can speak,
yeah, yeah, I mean they could be. Yeah, okay,
So feeling better, so I I mean my voice is still obviously a little
off, but yeah, it's remarkably better than it was on Monday. Yeah,
for sure, good to hear man. Okay, well, except now
I'm gonna get probably sick because you make it cold, and then with your
so thank you for that. All Right, we'll talk in an hour and
we will be right back. Case O Day Radio program, Your Day Smarter
one six one, AFM Talk and News Talk ninety four five WPTI more with
Case starts now. All right, good morning, seven fifty one here on
the Kcoday radio program. Uh oh, look at that. Really Apparently NBC
is dumping al Michaels for playoffs. How long is he man? How long
has he been doing postseason football? And he just out NBC, which is
scheduled air three playoff contests on its broadcast networks and then one on Peacock has
reportedly decided that they will not use Michaels as part of its postseason crew,
instead Mike Tarico, Chris Collinsworth, and then I think the other They're gonna
have two other people for the other one. Wow, that's a that's a
big deal man, the world of football. How old is yeah, Michaels
is seventy nine now. To be fair, Michaels did move to do the
prime broadcast, which is so if you ever, if you watch any of
the Thursday night games this year, you'll see them there. Although tomorrow he's
probably gonna be bored to tears because it's like Chargers Raiders, who cares?
Bowl? Oh that's I like how Michael's there from a play by play standpoint,
all right, So check this out. A couple of things going on.
One I threw a little Disney question. We kind of leave that floating
out there. But two, this lady right here, what she did and
what she managed to not do, I guess more importantly is flipping amazing.
And to kick off this story, as we normally do, uh well,
we do this, Florida Man. Florida Man. Is something in the water,
the er or sand that make should do all that crazy crap. That's
like the state is one be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else has the Florida
Man. It is almost like, as the Weird Factor climbs, you find
out it haven't in Florida every time. Florida Man, Florida Man. If
anyone can cheer me, if you know you can to find life be crazy.
But of course, but it's not as bad crap crazy as yours.
Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used to it, they
don't find him. Hooray for Florida Man. And for the third week in
a row. Florida woman actually and technically actually a South Carolina woman, but
she was in Florida. And as we've learned, when you're in Florida,
you can be deputized as an honorary Florida Florida individual. And she she did
it authorities in Monroe count all right, so we're gonna start in the Florida
Keys. By the way, the woman's name, forty one year old Courtney
Epps, who is from Taylor's, South Carolina, was down in the Florida
Keys. Oh wow, there's so much video too o her doing this.
And if you've ever driven in the Florida Keys. You got one road,
right, I mean you got some side streets, I guess in a few
of the little some of the communities you passed through. But yeah, there's
only one highway. So according to authorities, officers attempt to pull her over,
and she's just about seven Mile Bridge and then up as you cut up
into the Miami area Marathon, Florida, so it starts in the Florida Keys.
She takes off, according to authorities, hitting speeds between ninety and one
hundred and twenty miles an hour, absolutely crazy in a gray Chevy suburban.
And even if when she needs to get around northbound traffic, because you've ever
driven in the Florida Keys, you know you're gonna hit traffic jams. Police
say she was driving in the oncoming traffic lane to get around. They tried
to stop sticker twice, and once she crossed seven Mile Bridge and into the
marathon area, so off of the Keys, she was greeted with an annual
marathon that takes place literally off the off the bridge there, and she did
not slow down and instead drove through the marathon at triple digit speeds. But
by then the tie the stop stick was working on her tires, so parts
of the tire came spraying off, slamming in at that speed, slamming into
some vehicles that had been parked that were part of like the race officiating,
but thankfully did not hit any of the people. It's a damn miracle.
She keeps going. Eventually she crashed into a construction site, so they hook
her up. They take her to immediately the hospital, and they know she
has extremely constricted pupils, no verbal or physical stimuli response. You know,
basically she's hammered. Except she's now decided she has a defense. According to
authorities, the woman said, quote, God just told the father who told
me to tell you that you can't arrest me, and you need to stop,
which, believe it or not, police in Plantation Key or wherever they
threw they didn't. They were not buying this little nugget of info from her.
So she stepped it up a notch and, according to the police report,
began urinating on herself while loudly singing gospel songs and again pointing out that
she has religious exemption here because she's singing hymnals, which I again in Florida,
apparently not how that works because now she's facing all the stuff. So
there you go. So I thought maybe we'd explore this, we'd find ourselves
a little legal loophole. But unfortunately it does not appear that wetting yourself while
singing gospel songs and passing on a message from God that only you can hear
is always gonna Look, you didn't move Pharaoh, well you didn't wet him,
so but you know what I mean, the police implantation key, they
were not buying it. So uh anyway, but yeah, no, the
part where she's doing she's doing one hundred, one hundred and twenty miles an
hour. She's ripping. She literally driving through a marathon. The video's crazy
because a bunch of the marathoners have go pros now and so you see it
from the perspective of one of the runners who's running this marathon, and you
just see you see this gray Chevy suburban. I mean, just like a
bullet passed you. Bro. You know, maybe God was there, he
just he wasn't repping for her. That's a possibility. All right, We
got another hour to go, got words to learn, we got China,
insanity. And when I say insanity, uh, this is getting really,
really dangerous, and I'll explain. We'll kick it off with that next CaCO
Day radio program. All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It
is eight o seven and the Chinese government is listening here. They're always listening.
How to be fair, that maybe because they took the great smart genius
step of downloading the iHeartRadio app, or they're here listening on the terrestrial at
one of their little secret listening posts that we kind of sort of busted but
not really. But man, it's just story after story, and it really
drives home how bad it's getting when even the Washington Post has had enough.
The Chinese military ramping up its ability to disrupt key American infrastructure, including power
and water utilities, communications, transportation, eas functionality, you name it,
and boil boy. Have we had a bunch of story started on spy balloons
either. We have had just a plethora of stories coming out. As this
gets it just gets worse and worse, and it seems like nobody in Washington
cares to do anything. Hackers affiliated with the Chinese People's Liberation Army have now
reportedly burrowed into the computer systems of about two dozen critical entities over the past
year, but according to experts interviewed by The Washington Post, the intrusions are
part of a broader effort to develop ways to sow panic and chaos or snarl
logistics in the event the US China conflict of any sorts breaks out. I
don't know, something surrounding Taiwan. Maybe they just they have it at the
ready and they need to just hit the button and make things go whack a
doodle for their enemy. That's what this is about. Let's see, among
the victims are a water utility in Hawaii, a major West coast port,
at least one oil and gas pipeline. Also, they were attempting to and
it's still unclear whether they were to get into the Texas grid. Remember the
Texas power grid. It is independent of the rest of the country. But
it's not clear that they were able to gain access. Attacks literally on a
daily basis on critical infrastructure and other government associated accounts, websites, servers,
and others number and the hundreds and even thousands. I want you to think
about that. There are days where over a thousand independent cyber attacks takes place
on critical infrastructure here in the United States by China, and we know who's
doing it. Now the responses that I've seen where people go, yeah,
but we're doing it too. Yeah, probably, I don't doubt it,
but maybe we shouldn't be so chummy buddy buddy with them on all other fronts.
Just think of that. That's it's at. They have zero respect for
us, zero because they don't fear us in any way, shape or form.
By the way, it's not to say that they weren't pulling this crap
under Trump, but I think the g just for a moment probably was like,
how crazy is this, dude? Chinese cyber warfare, the spy balloon,
the military exercises, Remember they were trying to plant in ocean. One
of the things you have to know about China is China has a very different
view of what are their territorial waters, and the way that they accomplish that
is to go basically dump piles of sand on coral reefs, which is an
environmental nightmare obviously, and go, look, that's our island. And since
it's our island, it extends two hundred miles from there. And that was
I believe even the UN was like, nah, no, I don't care
how many proxy votes you have, but no, but they think that.
Remember they were setting Remember they tried to set a Chinese subtrap. The strait
between the south end of Japan and the Philippines is incredibly, incredibly important,
arguably the most important from a tactical standpoint there and all the you have,
all the information lines that run through there. He who controls that, which
is why we have beefed up what we have In the northern part of the
Philippines. You could you could essentially cut your closet China in there, and
that that is very problematic for him, which is why they're doing things like
setting submarine traps, which by the way, they did catch a submarine,
it was their own and they killed nearly one hundred other sailors. But this
goes on and on, and I'm I'm sitting here and you know, and
everyone's saying, Ah, why can't the President put out a tweet saying that
we're not gonna I if they try to go to break and they don't give
money to Ukraine, I'll do something. And I don't know what that is,
special Session or whatever he thinks he's gonna do, but maybe we could
probably deal with the China thing. Too. I'm not saying that Russia is
not a threat to us as well, and there is a proxy nature here,
and if you just want to be honest about why you're doing it,
that would be fine. But to sit here and not act like China is
just as bad as Russia and arguably worse, is a dereliction of duty that
is of substantial variety. Right, Oh, look at that? All right?
Well, this guy, this is a guy who probably knows considering where
he served when he was in Congress and the full disclosure. Running for Congress
sixth district again, Mark Walker joining us. Mark, how you doing.
I'm doing good at case here. You guys doing all right? Yeah,
Well, we're just trying to figure out this China thing, all right.
So you hear me talking about this, and I know your ears are buzz
and what's up. Yeah, just to want to add a little bit to
it, first of all, is always very informed. We have documentation that
China has actually cyber attacked us, sometimes over ten thousand times per day,
and the bulk of the concentration is on We have one grid that controls all
the ied all the power from the Mississippa River to the east coast. Now,
think of that chaos that we create. If you had to go two
or three weeks without that, it would be it would be insane around here.
But China's been our adversary for a long time. And that's one of
the good things about Trump is that he did not mince words in some of
the trade agreements and some of the things of how they had taken advantage of
us. We knew they've been selling our intellectual property for years, but this
is a serious issue. We already know that they're hypersonic missiles, they've tested
those, They are getting closer with those. We know they're building four to
five warships compared to are one the same amount of time and how fast they
can do some things there, And you're right, this is the key point.
They have a different mindset, the way they look at themselves from this
imperialistic mindset, whether it's the waters or whether their state should be when it
comes to the number one super power in the world. And I think we
are approaching some dangerous waters, so to speak. And if the financial predictions
that are coming out, whether it's from this, I don't know if you've
seen videos, I'm sure, but if you guys haven't seen videos of all
of these towers, these empty skyscrapers. Basically Chinese, the Chinese people will
put their money in property, so they had all these building things, and
the concrete is so bad that if you grab it with your hand and rip
it, it's like you're tearing apart a styrofoam block in some instance. Couple
that with investments in Sri Lanka and everywhere else that the government's lost their butt,
and a desperate China looks at Taiwan, who's doing okay financially, and
that gets to that gets to be a tasty your morsel every day. I
think, well, here and here's the concern when it comes to this foreign
concerns, I guess would be that with its administration still in charge for another
year, China knows that if there is a swing back to or Republicans specifically
Trump or someone, then it would be problematic for them to be the aggressor.
They know that if we're not going to do anything with the Chinese by
balloon, they're asking themselves, is this the time that we do make a
move on Taiwan or do we become more of the aggressor In another different area
of stronger aggressive diplomacy of whatever it might be. That's my concern going into
twenty twenty four is they weigh their odds. Is this the time for them
to make their move before you have a stronger administration that's willing to clap back.
Well, I will kudos to the US for being one of the countries
that wasn't playing the ceasefire game in the UN yesterday, So you know,
there's a little bit there, But obviously we have a long standing thing.
But as a result, man, I feel like we're just like our whole
society is de evolving. One hundred people at the Raleigh City Council meeting yesterday
screaming at him to put out a proclamation like Marianne Baldwin has any say in
this. It's crazy, Casey, because we have taught a generation now we're
in a second generation that America is inherently evil, or americanly is America is
inherently racist. And as you've been coming to adulthood and that's been taught you
all your life, you're looking for ways to go after this country. You're
looking for ways to protests and sometimes even riot because it's all that you've been
taught and that's the problem before we are in our twenty first century America.
Yeah, that's uh. Every day. I'm just glad to get to go
on vacation and pretend it doesn't exist for a little while. So yeah,
how about a merry Christmas after all that. Yeah, we'll do that,
all right, Samdy you sir, appreciate the call in this morning. Okay,
Mark, take care casey bye bye. All right, there you go,
Mark, But Mark Walker calling in again. It's it's the devolution is
not even the word. When you're facing then something along the lines of China
and there's just not a little seat, you know, where people see things
the same and everything's about scoring your political points and the big issues be damned.
You know, China has cohesiveness. Now granted they have it through subjugation,
but cohesiveness nonetheless, and that's an important part of handling your business,
if God forbid. It gets into whether a military conflict of any way,
shape or form. Right, the cohesiveness of the ability to do things is
the cohesiveness of the American people has at its highest levels, always been attached
with our greatest victories. So and whether you think Fdr manipulated it or not,
I'll leave that up to you. But for the for the most part,
people were damn pissed about what happened over at Pearl Harbor, and that
created cohesiveness. Obviously through horribleness post nine to eleven, everybody loved everybody.
So when we get there, we can try to do big things. Sometimes
we do do big things. But if you have people that that hate every
hate the their very existence and and and where they're where they're living from day
one, I don't know how you create cohesive people out of that. But
that's just me, all right. Eight eighteen. Hang on, I I
am very torn how I should even handle this story. All right? So,
uh, the Boston Mayor, Michelle Wu who likes to use the term
Wouville as some sort of like I I have no idea. I mean,
I get it. It's a Whoville thing, Wouville whatever. All right.
So anyway, she her office sent on an invitation for a Christmas party.
Okay, well that's not there's what's what's wrong with that? The uh,
the administration EFFI on behalf of the mayor sent out a the invitation to the
holiday party, except they inadvertently invited people who were not actually invited to it,
which obviously, look, that's a social snaff foo that sucks. There
may be limitations, like you couldn't you probably couldn't invite like the whole City
of Boston's employees, but maybe the water department could have their own or what
like. That makes sense and you want to make sure that you're doing it
right. However, that's not what the problem was. Yes, the I'm
gonna read verbatim from the Boston Herald. I am reading verbatim because I've never
heard the collection of words to create the term that they use here, and
like, the whole thing gives me the creepy crawleys. A Woo administration official
on behalf of the mare mistakenly sent all Boston City councilors an email inviting them
to the holiday party. But the party is meant exclusively for electeds of color.
Electeds of color is not a term I had ever used, I had
ever heard, but I understand what they're driving at. They want to have
how many how many city council members are there in Boston that you have to
carve out the group? Rust would you look up how many Boston City council
members there are I can't was there. If there's like a thousand of them,
I'll all apologize because then obviously I was wrong. But you can't even
have all of them there, No, no, no, you only want
people of color who are all who are also Boston City Council members. There's
that's the total. There's third how your party's gonna suck. So let's say
I don't know what the breakdown is, but let's say that it's a what
half okay, half white, half represent person of color? Who? But
you're gonna have a party of six people versus thirteen? How cheap are you?
And how stupid? And by the way, the I want to point
this out, that is not a description of the party. That is the
name of the party. Quote. We invite you to be a guest at
the electedce of color Holiday party on Wednesdays. Oh it's today. Oh it's
on Beacon Street. How historic. However, fifteen minutes after sending the invite,
the same officials set out a follow up email the city councilors apologizing for
the prior email, which was meant only for those who were invited. Yeah,
here we go. No, I actually have the breakdown here. So
it is about half, but seven white counts and six of color, so
it is six and then the other seven you're not invited. This is like
this For some reason, this is far worse to me than racially segregated graduations.
And I don't know why that is, because I think because it's just
I mean, it's also stupid, but I think it's it's such an unnecessary
thing to have to be having this conversation. And the apology isn't even really
an apology, saying something sorry for any confusion this may have caused, but
not being like, hey, I'm dumb and I send it to you.
Good lord man. I can't think of a situation where somebody could send that
email out and and and not be absolutely Can you imagine if iheart's like because
we got our holiday party not far away, and they're like, all right,
but it's only for and then so you know, insert whatever the group
is you would that wouldn't exist in that one direction. But this this is
fine. Okay. I'll bet, by the way, I'll bet that party
sucks. You're not gonna have fun with that many people with that largest stick
shoved it well you know, oh it would be awful, But hey,
maybe the healthiest thing to do would be to decline the invitation. No,
no, I've got the science hang on show. After the show is on
the iHeart radio app. Search casey Oda for the podcast on the iHeart Radio
app. I'm a gohol for days? All right, good more than everybody?
It is eight thirty six here on the casey O Day radio program.
Damn did I just read it? Insane? Absolutely insane? The story about
college football. I'll share that with you. It has to do with Georgia
and Nebraska and the quarterback thing that's going on. But let me do this
first. I want to help you get a little healthier, a little healthier,
okay, for the holiday season, and let me show you how it's
done. Hey, Ross, you want to go to the you want to
go to a Christmas party? Holiday party? I want to go? I
mean, in general, I would probably pass. You made the healthy decision,
sir. That's right. Ross is inherent denial of most things like that.
Smartly, so is the healthy option. According to research, why declining
invitations to holiday parties is actually good for you, not only physically but mentally
well. I would understand the mental thing like, why would you spend five
minutes? Right? Hey, everybody we work with, including including ugly sweaters
or you know, however your office does it not always the most appealing thing.
Even if you like the people you work with, you don't necessarily want
to drag yourself away. You got family commitments and all of these things can
cause stress. But also also you're having one less party situation and likely that's
going to be better for your diet. So this year, if you want
to go, I don't think so. I guess you can just send a
link to this article here. More than three quarters of people in a survey
confess that they accept invitations to gatherings they don't want to attend out of fear
of being judged for declining. Yeah, I don't do that. I have
the opposite problem where you just don't care. Yeah, like completely, that's
the problem. Like I've had people before where they're like, you come to
the company party. I'm like no, They're like, what do you mean
though, I say, is it mandatory? They said no, because you
can't make a party, holiday party mandatory. You know, no, it's
not mandatory. Then I'm not going, well, well, why would I
want to go? Yeah, And it doesn't mean it makes no damn sense.
It's my time off from work, and you know what, do you
hate? It doesn't mean you hate all your coworkers, not at all.
It just means I don't want when I'm not working, I don't want to
do anything involving work. Yeah, my co workers are work. Yep,
yep, yep, yep. How many times you and I got together outside
of the show, I like probably like twelve years. Like once, yeah,
I think we went to the where was some restaurant up in wake Forest
out a beer or something? Okay, so two times we went to Carolin
Alehouse. Oh yeah, and Charlie good Knights. Yeah, said Charlie good
Knights. There you go. You know what, I'm cool, You're cool
with that. That's but that's guys too. They when they get into this,
they start talking about how this is more of an emotional thing for women.
But I don't know, man, I just think that now you got
science backing it up, so uh now everyone else is the odd one.
So there you speaking of the odd ones. There's this a maya hold on
where's this story? I was going to get to the other thing, but
I wanted to package deal this because it's so insane. I got so many
little tabs open on secondary stories I found this morning. Oh, I'll have
to find it, dude. It's insane, all right, But like I
said, I'll get to that here in just a moment. Let me explain
this sports thing to you though, real quick if I could so, whether
you know it or not. The who is considered the top quarterback recruit in
college football is a guy named Dylan Rayola top ranked quarterback, and uh he
was committed to Georgia, which is, you know, it's kind of a
no brainer, I guess, but is expected to flip his commitment to Nebraska.
And for those who go, why would you do that? Well,
a couple things. One, you know, if you're Georgia, you're Alabama.
You're a lot of the top tier schools that have been that way for
a lot of years. You got fourth stringers in some cases that would be
starters in programs that are not too far removed from yours. So playing time
can be an issue. It's why you saw to a stay or no Tua
left. I'm trying to remember how it split in Alabama. The point is
is, even in Alabama, you have two NFL quarterbacks that were on a
team with each other, and then one ended up leaving because they wanted the
playing time. Also, his uncle is a coach for the corn Huskers,
and his dad played for the corn Huskers and it was a stud for them
in the early two thousands, so that apparently has colored his decision. That
has caused an absolute meltdown on the part of some Georgia fans, understandably,
so you're gonna be disappointed. But now it's gone to a very creepy place,
as a discussion on the official Dog's HQ message board show a series of
fans trying to if they can't convince him in person, somehow prevent him from
being able to travel to Nebraska, where he's expected to make his commitment this
weekend. All right, well, enjoy prison, right, Yeah, you
can watch the game in prison, right, as long as you know that's
what the big guys want to watch. Whoever runs the TV. Yes,
what started as a discussion where they went through like four chan trying to figure
out which flight he would be on. They were able to narrow it down
based on statements that he has made and his father's made, and others have
made to the media and some of the stuff that is scheduled in Nebraska.
They were able to figure out which delta flight he would be on, which
is creepy enough, right, And that's by the way, I guess that
would be if he's flying Delta, not on some Donors jet, which I'm
not even sure are the rules work on that for those who are not committed.
But so then they were trying to figure out who on the board would
either know pilots or flight attendants who were Georgia fans and see about either having
them do a sick out and if that doesn't work, perhaps creating a maintenance
issue on the plane. Since it is the last Delta flight of the day
to Nebraska, that would render him I guess, unable to travel that day
and to lose his bags if all else fails. So he's cold in Nebraska
and doesn't have a jacket. It's the dumbest welcome to jail maybe stuff,
because sir, you're plotting on how to disable a US aircraft. I don't
know if you know how they feel about this, but they don't feel good
about this. You're not a fan of that. That's not that's not a
thing that people are a big fan of. So yeah, probably right,
man. The amount of people who are like I would rather have needles in
my eyes than go to my company party. Oh man, sorry about that,
but hey, you know what, you're an adult maker decisions, all
right, So yeah, yeah, you probably shouldn't be. And you're on
an open message board doing that and in the accounts are identifiable, So I
that's that's probably sit around a bar kind of discussion. In my humble opinion,
ra sed Ag, if he's there, I got along this. You're
surrounded by crazy people, dude, I am so that this kid who committed
to Georgia is the top quarterback is expected to go to Nebraska to commit.
You's switching and Bulldon fans are openly on on the message boards plotting to figure
out how to disable the aircraft. So because apparently then he I guess he
can't commit if he can't fly in Nebraska on the delta plays. I don't
know. I'm pretty sure that that's like almost terrorism stuff right there. But
yeah, it just tacked that onto the craziness of just college football in general.
In case you didn't know, not a fan of all the doings in
the off season and everything that goes on now. So yeah, but we
can agree with sabotaging sabotaging plays. Is that's a special kind of crazy.
Yeah, you know it is. But hey, just like a lot of
us love and they love their football. Guy probably play better than the Atlanta
Falcons quarterback. Well, not to be fair, he lost his he lost
his target. Man. Yeah, tank tank going out that that tank is
that dude is talented man. So but anyway, all right, but if
this was Clemson to Nebraska, yeah maybe you'd have other thoughts. So yeah,
that probably would probably would. Yeah, But the next few days at
least, the weatherwise look pretty good. And speaking of I'm looking back toward
Greenville, Spartanburg in Clemson respectively, see more clearing and some of that clearing
starting to work in through Charlotte and try it as we speak. Then the
high level cloud though east of that, so that means triangling out toward the
outer banks. But that all go away, and that sunshine comes our way
and most of us are into mostly sunny sky across the region and lit to
mid fifties later today again at Chilli night tonight in the twenties, probably mid
twenties low fifties tomorrow, mid twenties to upper twenties tomorrow night, and then
Friday we'll get into the mid fifties. Good start to the weekend at a
bad finish, so kind of fifty to fifty on that with sunshine and mid
fifties on Saturday and rain Sunday, which could linger into Sunday night and Monday,
and we'll see. It's kind of like the battle between you know,
which models is gonna win out, the American or the European model. European
takes us thing quickly up this coast, this rain event, the GFS,
the American model keeps it hanging around. At least in the last run.
That's probably gonna change. I think it'll be more progressive, but you know,
we'll see. We've got a couple more days at least to chat about
it, and then we'll see what happens next week. But it's definitely gonna
get some rain. Question is how much? All right? Do appreciate it?
And we'll talk tomorrow, sir, have a good one. Okay,
there you go, Ray Stagic and coming up. Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News,
hang on, thank you. Casey is on ninety four to five w
PTI and the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Hi,
Good morning eight fifty two Your Bloomberg Update now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff,
what's happening? Good morning, Casey. Stocks advanced in yesterday's trading and
the futures are looking good this morning. Now, futures are up sixty seven
points. Just got a report on a wholesale inflation and it's a B nine
report. The Producer Price Index was unchanged in November, and the core PPI,
which leaves out energy and food costs, was also flat. Federal Reserve
wraps up today policy meeting today. Economists are confident that infistrates will be left
unchanged, but there's a lot of debate among the Fed watchers about just when
the sky high interest rates will start to be lowered. If you're an iPhone
user, your device will be made more secure. Apple is introducing a new
feature that prevents thieves who steal iPhones from accessing the owner's personal data. Facial
recognition or touch ID will be required to access stored passwords and banking information,
or to change any of the device's settings. Knowing the passcode alone will no
longer be enough. The Night Agent, a political thriller, was the most
watched title on Netflix in the first half of this year, and we know
that because of a new policy at the streaming video company. For the first
time, Netflix is releasing viewership data on every movie and TV show it offers.
A drop in mortgage interest rates caused a surge and refine demand. Last
week, mortgage bankers report applications to refinance home loans rose more than nineteen percent.
The average rate on a thirty year fixed rate loan fell to seven point
zero seven percent, still high, but it is the lowest since July.
And Casey, Tesla has issued a big recall. It is for more than
two million of the company's electric vehicles. Safety regulators say the system that is
supposed to make sure drivers are paying attention when autopilot is engaged is defective.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has spent the last two years investigating crashes that
occurred while autopilot was being used. Tesla says an over the air software update,
we'll add new controls and alerts to address the issues. Casey, All
right, thank you, sir, and we'll chat tomorrow now. Yeah,
Joan Donneger will be in for the next couple of days for me, and
I'll be back on Monday. Oh well, we will not see you.
We will be back. We'll see you January second. Oh so you're off
next weekend the week after. Uh yeah yeah, it's oh boy, yeah
yeah yeah. So well and Jero marry Christmas, Happy New Year. Yeah
so after Joan, we don't have nobody's got to do a live hit till
the second. Okay, Christmas, Happy New Year to you as well.
Okay, take care, Casey, all right, there you go. Uh.
Jeff Fellinger, Bloomberg News, the last man, I'm bummed I didn't
have some I didn't know was his last report of the year for US.
Oh you know what, it would have been fun to run some of these
words by him, Like do you think he knows what riz is? I
mean, he's the definition of riz. So yeah, yeah, that's a
fair point. Right yeah, that's a good point, right there, man.
I'm looking at some of these other words, like some of them I
get obviously, you know, AI this Oxford's word of the year, which
is riz. But I was looking at some of the other ones and they
actually do it by country and I'm looking at some of the words of the
year. Do you know as what do you think the word of the year
is in Australia. Word of the year Australia? Ready, password child?
The hell is that? I had to look obviously, I had to look
it up. That's the most popular new word in Australia. Password child.
It refers to a child seene as favored over siblings because their name is used
in parents' passwords. Okay, it's got a bunch of others. I just
don't care about. All right, this is what I do care about,
though, all right, Ready the little quiz for you. Researchers say that
they have interviewed two thousand young adults. These are folks in their twenties,
and ask them to set aside what they feel is the ideal age and the
age which they will achieve certain life goals. Okay, so of so on
average ross, what do you think the age that the young twenty something thinks
is the average age Americans buy their first car all by themselves, which actually
is later than I would have estimated. I think part of it has to
do with you're telling your parents' health insurance. So maybe, But here's the
one that's going to blow you away? All right, what age do you
think that they, on average believe you can buy your quote dream home,
not your starter home, your dream home, the home to end all homes.
What age on average they're probably like saying, like thirty two or something.
You're almost dead on thirty three. Starter home at thirty dream home at
thirty three. It escalates quickly, but oh you just buckle in and finally,
what what according to this young twenty year old's twenty something Americans do they
think should be the age for retirement that they're going to be able to retire?
Theysed on all the stuff. They probably forty five, you're almost dead
on again forty four yep, so delusional. Well you're not retiring next year?
I'm not. Oh man, what oh come on, it's right.
It's the numbers here. Yeah. Buying your first car twenty six, which
again I feel like that's later. I think most people buy their first car
before twenty six, or at least used to. But I understand less people
drive nowadays, and that's fine. Whatever. Starter home and a child by
age thirty, second child at thirty two, dream home at thirty three,
Retirement by forty four, they think that's the average. How is that possible
when I see all these things where young people are very negative, and in
some cases rightfully so with what things cost, do they think they're out of
there at forty four? I had maybe if you listen to Dave Ramsey all
day and just do what he says. But mhm, befoor, they're all
gonna be TikTok stars. That'll get you there too. But yeah, there
you go, and boy o boy life's gonna come hard and fast for I
think a lot of those folks. But we'll see you tomorrow. Have a
good one.
