All right, morning everybody. It is six o eight here on the case
O Day Radio program. What sorry, just look at the dude's mug shot.
Wow, that's better than coffee in the morning. Man, What in
the world? I mean, a sexual predator who allegedly removed his ankle monitor
and then o Deed was taken back into custody just one day after he was
released from a more than nine year prison sentence for loot and lascivious battery of
a child. Oh, not gonna get into the details here, just real,
real shame. Prison wasn't tougher for him. So dude gets out the
world is his oyster, and he's just like, I'm gonna get this anklet
off and then I'm gonna go to seven to eleven and od well, I
mean, I don't know that you would. You know, they're talking about
um, you know how this was a bunch of weirdness going on and nobody
initially called police. I mean, look at it. He looks like,
you know, he looks like the assistant pastor at your church. I don't
I don't know how you would look at this man and go, I,
yeah, maybe something's up. Ross. I just sent you the story with
his mug shot in it. I mean, is that a face of somebody
you would suspect of. Maybe that dude's a not a good guy. I
don't know. I try not to judge. Popped it over to your email
anyway. I'm just saying, I, you know, I get just it's
just like a dude running over the seven to eleven for some stuff. I
can't even what does that say on his neck? I can't dull wait,
hold on, I don't want to read it because maybe it's a swear word
in German or something. Then, and what is that look? Is that
a juggalo thing? I don't know what's going on here? All right,
So your email finally came through, that's no problem, no problem. I
mean, I wouldn't let him babysit my kids. What why? What he's
is it? Is it the Is it the wife beater? Is that what
it is? I think it's the whole package. Oh, it's the got
You think it's the goatee. Maybe no, it's not really the facial hair?
Uh? Is it the hair cut? I mean just it's hot right
now. A lot of guys shave their head down quite a bit, you
know, because and he's in Florida. I mean, it's sticky ikey this
morning? Is that what it is? Is that the haircut, the goatee
and the wife beater or remember that dude who thought he was like Puzzuzu,
Lord of the Demons. Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's got that sort
of look. Oh oh, is that supposed to be like a hipster mustache
tattoo? I'm trying to figure out what that is or is there where the
ball gag goes? I don't know. Holy cow, they hit it with
the narcan though, which seems like an awful flippant use of narcan. But
whatever. All right, well that's what he did over the weekend. What
did you guys all do over the weekend? Just melt you guys, get
out and do stuff. Nope, we relaxed. We streamed a little bit.
That's about it. At a good weekend. Oh good, good,
you went to the Barbie movie? You were saying, Yeah, I saw
both movies. Oh did you? Yeah? Yeah, he didn't go to
the bar Now, I saw both movies. So we walked out in the
first movie, which was Barbie, and we overheard five children saying they were
now trains. Oh, and I was shook, but I immediately went to
Oppenheimer. And when we came out of that movie, the same five kids
are coming on that movie too, and they said they identified as heterosexual,
okay, and they said that uh, American imperialism and capitalism was the goat.
No cap for real, for real. And then they went to a
Jason Aldean cont and they said he was based so I mean, it is
what it is. And then they headed over the Old Dean Concert. Yeah,
yeah, right across the way. Yeah, where was this? I
think where there's a theater, right, I mean, I guess there's one
kind of close over to uh the Walnut Well not really. We're like,
oh and Carrie, Yeah, that was just over and cure. And then
Marky shook me on the couch and she's like, you're hallucinating again. She
slapped me the face. You need to go to a seven eleven with this
dude. It's just a free narcan man. That is crazy. Oh that's
a way to start. I'll wake you up in the morning. Good lord.
And I and again, I don't know what's on his neck and I'm
scared to read it. It doesn't look finished though. You can see how
they colored oh, it says outcast. It's just a really, that's what
it is. So he's a fan of the band. That's what I wondered.
What is Andre up to do? We know he doesn't look like a
hey yeah sort of guy. Are you sure he looks like it likes to
party, man? And I think that was and I remember that being on
the party anthem CDs. You know who did this to him? Miss Jackson
did? Really, it's mister Jackson now, and so now mister Jackson identifies
his mystery. And then that's how they met him in prison. No,
it doesn't look at that doesn't look like they they finished the tattoos. See
how the out is colored in but not the cast. Dude needs to go
back, man. That's why he did it. That's why I just solved
the crime because police are probably what are like, why would this guy who
just spent nine years in prison? The first thing you do is cut off
his ankle monitor go get himself a big old pile of drugs and OD and
a seven A letter with a slurpee. And I realized this is like,
this is like, you know, some homeless dude during the winter committing a
crime so he can get a month's boarding kind of thing. Right. He
was like, man, this sucks. Micelli didn't get a chance to finish
the tattoo. What are we going to do? Hey? I know and
now now he's going to get his tattoos done, so get that all colored
in. Man, I should be a police investigator. I am literally Sherlock
Holmes, all right, coming up on the show. H Yeah, dude,
this thing is dying so fast. The new numbers posted Friday by Wall
Street Journal on Facebook's Twitter Killer. Excuse me? Can I do? I
still call it Twitter? Is it official? Yet? Everyone's losing their damn
minds over this. So Elon Musk is doing away with the Twitter and incorporating
it into x X. Well just one X, not three, not two,
just one. And now all of a sudden, everybody's like, dah,
you know they're killing the brand. They're gonna and it's like, all
right. On the same time, you're sitting there listening to all of the
other reasons you said he was killing the brand, and I'm looking at these
numbers from the Wall Street Journal Friday on what exactly kind of interaction this threads
this Twitter killer's doing? I don't know maybe maybe you should have a broader
perspective and actually analyze this stuff like you supposed. Oh you know what,
my detective stuff just kicked in again. I just realized maybe Elon was sick
of all of these stupid articles that all the mainstream media's writing where they talk
about how threads is the Twitter killer, and he's like, it's not.
If I if it's not called Twitter, and then that's the why they're doing
the rebrand. Dude, that's two. That's two things solved in roughly what
ten minutes. You're welcome there. We're psychic around here, and we solve
crimes. That's why you listen. So keep it up. We'll be back
here on the k c O Day radio program, keeping you connected. This
is WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, welcome back. It is six twenty one here on the
Cacoda Radio program. Yeah, like all of the verbiage is going to have
to change too. When talking about Twitter, now that Elon Musk has announced
the name will change to bring it under the X brand, not a surprise
something I think. Almost immediately he talked about mentioning wanting to bring it out
of what people know it as and really expand it and turn it into the
everything app. I think I think that Elon is one of these guys who
is very aware of apps like ten Cent and which is this it's uh,
I think I'm getting that right. Well, there's an app, but I
think it's called that in China, which is like if you took Google,
of PayPal, Venmo, government apps, um, all the big communications apps
and rolled it into one. It's in gaming and podcasting, you know everything
and it you know so it And I remember looking at the engagement numbers,
like people, the average Chinese citizen, the average this is the average of
everybody spends multiple hours a day in some way interacting with that app that is
a tech companies um dream and you know the kind of dream I'm talking about,
you know. Engagement. Engagement in the twenty thirty minute range is really
what many media outlets strike out for these days, whether they be online or
in some cases a you know network, uh, you know, in a
television show standpoint in a in a radio standpoint in some instances, podcast um,
YouTube. I'm not sure what their algorithm currently wishes of people to show
your being successful. But this is this is about bringing it in and expanding
what people think something is capable of. Because it's easy to sit there and
look at Twitter and I know that it's a mental thing and everyone will know
that X used to be Twitter, but to also envision limitation within an app
or a business in general, whatever it is, you know, people go,
oh, you know, this is that kind of business. That's what
I know them as. Now they want to be this too. I don't
know about that. We're just naturally suspicious of this. So but you know,
there is there's there's lingo, there's words in the dictionary. Tweet as
a word in the dictionary obviously, but now it's one with multiple definitions,
including you know, the messaging on Twitter. So that's happening. Meanwhile,
what was supposed to be the downfall of Twitter threads, those numbers are down
now seventy percent from the July seventh peak. So people who you know at
launch decided to check it out. And remember we talked about this on the
radio. It wasn't a big commitment of your time to sit there and interact
with the app or even have your profile set up because it was attached to
Instagram. Which I give Mark Zuckerberg credit. That's a very smart way to
do that. However, it's a really poor way to gauge the expected loyalty
of one's audience when all they have to do is literally push a button and
then boom, you're on there. So they saw these big numbers. Everyone
everyone was like, yeah, this is it. Elon's going to get it.
And now they're down seventy percent. And I want to say the average
engagement is in the single digits of minutes. And that's only among the remaining
what is this thirteen million members that daily use the app, So those are
folks who I guarantee are also on Twitter. They're probably they scroll, they
see some stuff they didn't like that they formerly didn't have to put up with
because they're the powers that be, along with their own government, we're making
sure those voices weren't heard. They get all but hurt and twisted about something.
They're like, I'm gonna go over to threads, and then they go
over there and they look at their posts, which over on Twitter, even
though they're acting like jackass has got you know, depending on how popular they
are, hundreds or even thousands of interactions and they go over on threads and
like five people have said something and it doesn't feed the ego. Right,
this is a human nature. It doesn't feed the ego. What do you
what do you want when you post something on social media? What's the addiction
part of that? The addiction part of it for people who are power users
of social media is they want the interaction. They want to be beating the
algorithm. They want they want the lights, they want those shares or the
retweets or whatever it is. And you're not. You're not getting that addiction
fed over on threads. So even subconsciously, like a heroin addict, you're
like, I'm gonna go back where the heroine is. So it's it's pretty
self defeating. Twitter, by the way, averages around two hundred million daily
users, average time spent around thirty minutes the social media perspective. That's good.
Elon thinks he can do better. This is how he plans on getting
it done. That's the story in a nutshell, with some actual analysis rather
than the garbage freakouts that I read on this over the weekend when it was
announced of people you know, losing their damn minds over this stuff. How
dare he Ironically, the people losing their minds over it, who feel like
personally insulted by wanting to change the names are also the ones who are like,
everyone needs come on over to master on, come on over to Threads.
Let's get out of this hell hole. And now they're so they hated
where they were, they encourage everyone to leave, and then they get mad
when somebody changes the the drapes. It's it's just it's sad and funny all
at the same time when you actually take a step back and look at this.
But any who contemplate all that fun We got lots to get to,
including an update on the Seattle a homeless camp with the pool. Wait for
this one one six one at them talk APTI, two stations driving the best
in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right,
so check this and sanity out. There is at least one reporter who
actually does want to They just want to do some journalism in and around the
city of Seattle. This is the very same journalist his name is Jonathan Choe,
who brought you coverage of this homeless encampment there in Seattle where they hit
installed a pool and I'm talking a fully. It's an above ground but it's
a big size, adult size above ground with the with the pump and the
big hose and everything. Pool. And as you can imagine residence nearby where
you have let's see the houses, the average price of the homes in that
neighborhood where this is our six hundred and thirty thousand plus directly next door to
this is is like a a senior living facility, but like a really nice
one. And it's it was a pretty pretty, uh, pristine, quiet
place. And now you have this giant outdoor drug market. You have this
water park of of sorts. Uh, there's pictures this guy took. There's
a woman where they put a couch next to this pool. I remember this
pool. Also, it wasn't just a pool. It had like a safety
fence around it or privacy fence, I guess, depending on how you look
at it. It was bonkers and and by mocking it, I was then
accused of wanting homeless kids to drown in the pool or something. But that
wasn't the point. The point was there's no permitting for this, there's no
nothing. It's not even their land. It's a combination of mostly public land,
as well as infringement on some private property in the city of Seattle.
People don't want to do anything about it. Well, it's more than that,
as Choe learned. So he goes down and he's trying to get to
the bottom of the pool. In fact, he talks to there's a woman
sitting on a couch there smoking fentanyl. Because you know, that's what you
do at the pool, right, I'm sure many of you is. With
the heat and the time of the year, you've probably been to some pool
parties this year. I haven't been to a pool party per se this year,
like a big neighborhood pool party. But I'm assuming that's what you do,
right, You just sit around on a busted old couch that you drug
from who knows where and smoke fentanyl makes the pool. Isn't that how it
works. I'm being told that's not how it works. Okay, Well in
Seattle, that's how it works at this homeless encampment. But it's more than
that. So he's down there, and in addition to this pool and art,
this thing is huge. In addition to this pool RVs, there's RVs,
old school RVs. In fact, you see this a lot in California
and Oregon, and to say less extent Oregon, just because they don't really
have any big major cities, bumped right against the coast. But like old
RVs people, because what happened is people in many instances, look, this
is the sad part. They transitioned from living in you know, fixed structures,
and some as things got tight or made the decision that they were gonna
go and they were gonna find themselves an old r V and then live in
that and then drive around and just park and live. And then eventually,
you know, that's not a sustainable method necessarily for most people. So they
find themselves essentially perma parking in these homeless facilities. And so when they do
these clearings, most of these RVs are not mobile, but they obviously provide
shelter and and um, you know that's what people are counting on. Well,
not everyone's got one of those, so, as Choke points out,
he also discovered individuals who had built tree dwellings with rope rope ladders. It
look really nice, by the way, and connected walkways and stuff like.
He describes it as an Ewok village. And then that's not all in addition
to that, he said that there was one man hold on. Let me
let me read this from the article because I think it's it's interesting. So,
um, they had had So what had happened is they had This is
what triggered him going down there. They had a fire at a fire there
in the encampment. Now I didn't burn the hole incamen down or anything,
because the damn thing's huge, but it was enough that there was significant smoke
and everything that was going on. So Chow went on to visit. Apparently
the home. I guess they don't have a homeless fire department, so it's
like the regular fire department had to show up. So he goes down there
and he says, uh, yeah, here we go. Above the homeless
encampment, I noticed a sci fi style enclosure covered with green tarpaulin. It's
been a stuff with mounds of trash and a sort of I don't know what
he's trying to get at here, but basically it's all the stuff you would
normally see on the ground that they had kind of relocated to the to the
air well. It's unclear who lives in the treehouses. No residents were visible
during the visit. The Ewok village appeared in Returning. Then they give a
history of that. Are you proe walks or anti e walks? By the
way, as far as Star Star Wars goes, because I've noticed that that
is divisive. I was as a kid, I guess I didn't mind them,
but as I get older, I don't like. I don't think I
like them. They were they were the first like merch, you know what
I mean. I mean not that Star Wars. Merch wasn't a thing back
in the day. It was everywhere you and you're saying they produced it just
for the merch. I've seen that theory, and I don't necessarily disagree because
that e Walk March was everywhere. That was that was the inspiration for Baby
Yoda. Let's just be honest. But I digress. So anyway, so
they go into the history of the e Walk there, Dude, we should
show up like with gold suits, with our whole body painted in gold.
Then we'd be King of the Homeless Encampment. Man, isn't that how it
works? Right? Well, they didn't have one silver leg. Don't forget
you know, I don't remember that. I think you're making that up,
mister Mandela. I am, by the way, I am on the train
that C three po was always completely gold. That is a Mandela effect.
They're like diet one silver leg I'm like, since when in what universe?
You know? This is crap? Didn't start until after he went and remastered
all the movies with all the digital editing where they're like adding monsters and stuff.
I think it's weird. Now I'm on team all Gold too. Well.
Anyway, so if you want to be a god, but then you
have to stay painted in gold and stuff, but you know you'll be running
the pools, so there's that. So anyway, So not only do they
have the Ewok village in the trees. In addition to the tree dwelling folks,
show discovered one man who was working on a planned out, intricate underground
cave tunnel systems. I guess you got a lot of time on your hands.
And let's face it, if you're all spun up on drugs, I'll
bet you. I bet you can dig a a lot of tunnel in a
date, do you know what I mean? You're motivated whatever your fixated activity
is on. You know that synthetic thing that you just injected into your body.
I bet you're a tunnel digging machine. I mean, I think digging
tunnels is a good strap. You're trying to keep the cartels away. What
in Seattle? Is that a big proble? I'm just saying you, I
don't know. Maybe in the Pacific Northwest. Yeah, you could be like
a veteran, you know, at your home in Phoenix. There, you'd
be right there. And what do you do though? I feel I feel
like you're insulting Rambo. Well, I was gonna ask, what do you
do if the cartel comes and chases you into the tunnels? Now you have
to go into the tunnels. Yeah, that's what I'm saying. But now
you're trapped in the tunnels with them. Now they're trapped in there with you.
Oh okay, all right, you got booby traps or something? What
are you talking? I don't want to talk about it. Okay, Uh,
you said that's the boatman you're talking talking about. Listen, man,
just stay on the boat. I don't think there's a boat in the middle
of the desert Arizona. I don't know Ross. I think Ross is doing
fett in all this part. I don't know what's up addition to the tree
dwelling guy, he discovered the man building the tunnels. I met one guy
who's extremely talented. Should be work, he said, show well I don't.
I mean, yes, obviously he's willing to put in the hard work.
I don't know what's motivating him, but he's probably operating with his within
his own scheduling system. So the underground, the underground tunnel. So imagine
you're somebody the Seattle police finally decide to go handle this. Right, you
got you got a water park, you got an Ewok village, and he
got the chow Chee tunnels. Right, Yeah, what a page. That's
what they're doing. They're making it so hell no in the minds of people
wanting to go in there. But also, here's the thing. If a
bunch of homeless people go down in these tunnels, decide, hey, we're
gonna have an underground fent and all party or whatever, and there is a
collapse and you know, five people are dead or whatever, it is the
amount of moral outrage that we'll be out there and it won't be it won't
be the fault of city leaders and law enforcement not nipping this in the bud
before it became a problem, and this scenario was crazy. The irony is
like, you couldn't You couldn't do this stuff on your property without code enforcement
coming out, right, you can't. Just you know, things are a
little different in over Rambo's Pad down in Arizona. But you get into these
busybody areas like this, man, you start digging in your backyard and you
don't have a permit, some guy's probably gonna show up. Yeah, they
got a tunnel system. That's what's crazy here. But if there's a problem
and people die in this, there's gonna be this moral outrage that these folks
were pushed into this position where they felt they had no recourse but to build
the tunnels. And I don't know if you know this. What is one
of the things that makes it very important that if you're building underground tunnels in
the Seattle area that you need to be worried about or just anywhere you'd have
to be worried about something that could be detrimental to the structural integrity of your
tunnels. All right, So there's two things that pop to mind. Earthquakes,
which isn't a huge issue up in Seattle. So but water, right,
you get a bunch, you get a bunch of water, either flowing
into your tunnel or just saturating the ground above your tunnel. You're just asking
for problems. And Ross, would you check and see if it rains in
the Seattle area? Very much? Ross gonna check in on that if he's
gotta oh wait, hold on, he screet in a call. He can
check after. I'm I had heard something about this. I don't know if
it's true, but people will be losing their damn minds. So I was
just thinking, you know, one of the things that can really impact a
tunnel is water, either flowing into the tunnel or saturating the ground above.
And I was just curious, does it rain in the Seattle area? Would
you look that up? Ross gonna look that up. I had heard a
rumor. He was in the phone. Let me check. Yes, Oh
wow, okay, ah, dude, this thing. He's got bad idea.
And then they just had the fire's got bad idea and they didn't have
fire suppression systems, not a an eway village, a tunnel system and ah
the anyway eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four Seattle and cabin
is situated on Washington State Department of Transportation by the majority of it. At
during his visit here we Go. During his visit, choice that he counted
at least forty suspected quote situations meaning open use of drugs and trash, environmental
hazards, things like that. He says it's one big environmental disaster in the
making. Probably homeowners in Highland Park, where the median house prices six hundred
thousand, said all of these editions feel like a slap in the face after
months of voicing concerns and city officials basically ignoring them. In the video captured,
you see the woman sitting down the couch next to the pool smoking fentanyl.
There was recently a order at the camp. I'm sure the hobo police
are on it, and of course the pool now hold on. He talked
to the woman who actually, yeah, so it's the fent and old lady
with her pool there here. He goes, Yeah, her name is Monica
Parrish. So she's the one who somehow got somebody to donate this pool to
him, and she lives on the property. Parish tells reporters the homeless we're
getting a bad rap. All she was doing was trying to bring some positivity
the community and some recreation. When asked why she would whether she thought the
city would come in and clear him out, she said there had been rumors
that they would over the next one to two months, which Choe asked,
the excuse me, then, why build all this? And she said,
well, I guess I was hoping for something a little different, as hoping
that would be something they would see and allow us to hang up. So
so her theory is that if they turn this thing literally into Disneyland, police
are going to show up and be like, oh no, this is nice,
all right, let's go, let's go do something else. She probably
right, I don't know, man, But again, you wait for something
really between the fire and the and the murder. I mean, that's bad,
but you wait for the tunnels to collapse or who the hell knows,
and a bunch of local leaders will feign moral outrage not over the fact that
they allowed the situation to fester into what it is, but because that the
situation ever had to exist in the first place, because everyone's just so evil.
Meanwhile, you get into these suburban communities or these portions of Seattle where
they have disallowed multifamily housing and they're white liberal enclay, which is which is
what is deeply ironic. Now, they have a senior center here, so
they do allow some sort of it, but um, you know, that's
the that's the thing to kill you. When you look at some of the
richest communities in America, especially in and around New York, one of the
key features is that they overwhelmingly vote uh uh moonbat. But also they generally
disallow multifamily housing, thus creating a scenario where it, you know, essentially
results in these white liberal enclaves. They're just the biggest hypocrites you've ever seen
in your whole life. In in my humble opinion, but there you go.
So there's your your hobo hobo Disneyland update. They need to go full
Disney. I'm convinced, man, they need like an Epcot center. But
instead of that, they have like homeless people from all different heritage and countries.
Right would wouldn't you rat they're rather than some animatronic dude explaining you know
whatever to you be able to go and have a guy on Fenton. I'll
do it. That'd be crazy. We'll be back all right. Long segment
there coming up. Two more big hours here on your blenday. We got
to talk a little calls. Also, your appliances are spine on you.
I remember when people were mocking this, and it wasn't that long ago,
and now it's a real concern. But now they're mocking ted cruise or being
concerned about it even though they know it's a thing. A man, it's
just every day nobody ever learns. So we'll get to that and much more
coming up here on the case O Day Radio program. Right, good one
and everybody, and welcome to our number two. Here was seven h seven
CaCO DA Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
fours are quite the journey in our one as a reporter went in to give
the full scope of the homeless encampment there in Seattle that we talked about that
had the pool in it after a fire broke out and there was a murder
there. I know you're shocked. And he interviewed anyone he could find.
Somebody was building a series of tree dwellings connected tree dwellings he describes as an
Ewok village. Another guy's working on an elaborate tunnel system. The woman who
actually organized or somehow acquired the pool and add the pool with security fence constructed
because you know, you want to keep the undesirables out. Um, she's
sitting on a couch smoking fentanyl because that's what you do at a pool party.
Although Raji made a good point, you want to make sure that it's
you know, it's it's not some generic, off brand fentanyl. Right,
go to a pool party and they're serving you know, and they're not serving
the good stuff. You have to leave at that point. Yeah, let
it, you know, don't verbally accost your host, but you're you're leaving,
will send a message. Don't cheap out on the fentanyl. Man,
This is a pool party, dude. Somebody sent me. Um, somebody
was sending me a series of pictures from they had like a community pool party
at their apartment or condo complex or whatever it is. Right, and the
I guess the h O a er management or whoever had bought you know,
beer and hot dogs for everybody. So everybody shows up and they got one
of those giant giant coolers. I have one of these things too, man.
You can hold a lot of beer in there. And so but like
one end was bud light and then they had Miller light and some other stuff.
And it was funny because he sent me like three pictures as the beer
was being pulled out of there, and let's just say it wasn't being pulled
from the bud light side. So that fun. That fun continues there.
But so you got tunnels, you got the pool lady, you got you
got all of this, and I'm just like, you know, what's screwed
at this point? You need to go fool crazy hobo Disneys, Disneyland,
Right, what would you rather? What are the country are? What are
the countries with the animatronics and Epcot Because it's not all the countries. I've
never been to Epcots, so I don't know, but they have, like
I'm assuming Germany, they have like represented maybe Mexico, Japan or China.
Like it's it's how many countries is it? Roughly? Do you know?
I like all the countries in the world, literally all the countries. Okay,
maybe not all of them, but there's a slice of from a culture
standpoint, there's a slice of all over. When you think of like,
hey, where would I like to go on vacation? Right, the countries
that come up on your list are probably gonna be there, gotcha. So
what would you rather have? Let's say, would you rather have some animatronic
you know, British dude or some British guy who came over the US and
then developed a drug Habit is now homeless in Seattle and it's literally unfet and
all at that moment explaining this culture. Now, so from what I remember
from Epcot, there are no animatronic like people in the countries. Oh however,
oh okay, however, I think it would be an amazing idea for
Seattle and the homeless people. Okay, good, I'm glad you're on board,
man, because let's take this dystopia right and make it worse, more
terrifying. I'm trying to make it better, right, isn't Look, isn't
the whole drag queen thing predicated on normalizing stuff by by making you want kids
as young as possible there so that as they grow up they just think that
that's pretty normal. Right. I mean that's that literally organizers say that that's
what it's about. It's about normalizing them. Okay, Well, if if
you already have people that have these negative assessments of you know, crazed homeless
people on fentinyl. What better way to normalize it with your kids than to
bring him down to Seattle's new hobo Land. Damn it. Now I want
an animatronic viking in Norway at Epcot. Why but once again for the fear
factor. Yeah, but what is it going to do. If it's a
Viking, it literally is going to murder you. It's gonna risk your life.
It's going to pillage and then pillage whatever you have your Fannie pack with.
Just don't go to Norway. And then you have a animatronic samurai in
Japan, like, well, hold on, hold on, going back to
the going back to the British thing. As the British will tell you,
sometimes you don't have to go to doorway. Sometimes the Vikings will come to
you. So you know, just something to think about there. But yeah,
so then we got a samurai slicing and dicing people here. You just
gotta you just got homeless people from around the world and they don't have to
be from there. They can lie you need to. Like if I was
Bob Eiger right in charge of Disney, I would do this now, this
because is the great idea. So you'd have the animatronic Samurai, the animatronic
Vikings whatever from each country, right, and then you'd have to have them
war against against each other to see what country would win out at Epcot would
just take over. So you want to battle Royale of Animal I want like
a civilization type game. You're trying to organize something with real people who need
real jobs so they can pay for this. Hey, this was all your
idea. No, no, the other thing was my idea. I was
simply saying that this could be a West Coast version of Epcot Steel. Look,
Disney's vulnerable right now, and then think of all of the other stuff
at Disney. You're telling me you wouldn't want to be a member of the
Hobo version of the thirty three Club or whatever that weird Disney club cult club
thing is your little jacket or whatever. Can you imagine if you think that,
you know the rumor as they got Walt Disney's cryogenic head at the one,
you know, the one in La how many cryogenic heads without cryogenics do
you think they would have in the Hobo secret Club. They got the tunnels
already. You want to get on the Hobo people mover. It's just a
hobo giving you a shoulder ride people mover made out of hobos. Oh gosh,
man, why you're just praying for death and destruction. I'm trying to
turn things around. I'm trying to make things better. You're wanting took some
poort tourists from Missouri to get slaughtered by a robot. Those are the Samurai
sword. When I didn't go to Epcot, the funniest thing in the world
was, like you said, you have all the different countries, and you
have like you know, the UK or England whatever, and it's this this
huge part of it and it's like a block, you know, and you've
got Big Ben and all this stuff, and then right next to it there's
a little teeny tiny kiosk that says Scotland and it just sells beer. I
found it to be so funny. Oh man, you know what, you
know why because Scottish people probably show up, they're happy, They're like,
I'm good, you're is you go to Scotland. There's there's there's like if
you not counting the natural beauty, which is crazy because it's like you're fast
forward into so many of these old time you know, braveheart style movies.
Or any of the movies where they're um you know, they're upping the Highlands
of Scotland and it's it's absolutely amazing. And go there to golf. People
go to there to golf, and then you go to umu the tattoo.
I can't remember exactly what it's called. It's the show they do. It's
like, uh, the military, it's not military. It is military,
but it's really not. And and other than that, that's Scotland. And
then you just go drink and I love it. Don't get me wrong.
I loved visiting Ireland, Scotland, England to some extent, but Scotland and
Ireland were my favorite. It was very cool, but a good portion of
the activities did surround the consumption of beer and various uh distilled liqueurs. So
it is culturally a big party if you're making a trip over there. So
yeah, now that fits man, All right, let me grab a call
here, Adam, what's up, hey? I you know, contrie to
contribute to the Misney fun land out there. They all have meth taught where
you can have all the drugs of the world. Look at that in there,
and then with all that water out there, they could have the fit
the flume, either flume or you know what, start one. I love
Methcot ross. Would you get a trademark for methcot please? No, No,
it's already done. I got it, alright, alright, takes,
I got that in a T shirt right now, all the drugs of the
world, like, ah, now I've been an opiate dead all right,
not the flume? All right, hold on, but it go better here.
It's a small world, right, So you're floating along in your hobo
boat and now you've got hordes of hoboes on all the drugs of the world
singing it's a small world to you. What do you think you'd go on
that ride, wouldn't you? Absolutely right after you visited methcot, man,
I gotta tell you, we got the best audience. We probably have to
cut that guy in, although if he doesn't have a trademarked you know what,
that's that's un usir, meth cut. Can you imagine how fast Disney
sue you if you're selling meth cut shirts? Uh? Anyway, all right,
seven sixteen here on the case O Day radio program. So yeah,
that's uh, that's one of the things we're working on making the world a
better place this morning, because that's what we do. And unfortunately, while
Ross is sitting there promoting animatronic murder BOTSU there are real technological concerns out there,
including one that I remember members of Trump's administration being mocked over this when
the reality is this is a problem, and it's a problem that we can
highlight by looking at a series of stories that have come out here quite quite
literally within the last week, where there has been illegal use of government entity
spine. One of the people they were spine on, even though they don't
say who it was, was a US senator, and the courts are now
admonish them, and they just keep doing this, nearly three hundred thousand violations
of the government spine on you again, including a US senator. By the
way, what party do you think that senators from? If you had to
guess, do you think since we're about fifty, do you think it's fifty
fifty odds or do you think maybe, just possibly, perhaps we can ascertain
the senator probably belonged to one political party considering what we've seen, that would
be my guess, and I would guess are but that's you know, maybe
that's just me speaking out of turn. However, Senator Ted Cruz has announced
that they proposing a bill that would make our appliances aren't spying on us.
I'll get into more of this coming up here on the case O Day radio
program, Thank You Casey, w PTI in the Triad and one oh six
one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, so it wasn't that long
ago. In fact, what did you say? The day was twenty nineteen,
so I was looking back to this. So this is one of the
ways that I remember dates, is I go and I check the the ad
date or the filed create date on parody songs you and like That's how I
organized my memories. But I remembered during the Trump administration, and I think
it was Kelly and Conway, but I don't remember exactly who made a comment
about, uh, you know, your your appliance is spying on you,
and she was not inaccurate, but of course she was roundly mocked the oh
they're not spying on you. And I think she used the she used microwave
as an example, and they all jumped on that. We did a little
parody song by the way here that is just because I thought it was a
funny bit of imagery. When I want to try and quickly melt some cheese,
this kitchen uppliance makes it a breeze, reheats my onion rings. They're
just isn't any doubt. It's also recording conversations which it then sends out.
They tell me it'll watch me. They tell me that it sees me.
They tell me and records me. There's someone knows I've been frozen tuquitos last
night. It here's the secrets that I can mind micro waste on me.
It here's the secrets that I can mind micro waste fend on me. And
by the way, of course, there is the more grandiose conspiracy theory,
which I think people are less thinking as a conspiracy theory these days, where
you could be having a conversation in a room with somebody about something and either
your phone or iPad or maybe even one of those TVs that anything that takes
instantaneous voice commands. Generally, the way that it works is it's constantly listening
to you and sending that information back to a central server for the purpose of
determining what it is you said. It's the same way voice to text works,
so what happens when it hits the central server. Well, that's the
question. So you have that conversation about you know, right now Ross and
I are talking about Disneyland. I'll bet you there's some sort of Disney ad
that ends up being fed to one of us, because that's how this crap
works. So Ted Cruz has proposed a bill that basically would require notification on
this stuff and full disclosure of what's happening to that data, because think about
it. Now, not only is your TV, your phone, your iPad,
many modern laptops and kitchen appliances. They get refrigerators now that don't just
have annoying alarms like Ross's, but also are able to do inventory of all
the things that are in your fridge and accept voice commands. I don't think
that it's a step too far that we know what's going on with that,
especially as you've seen tech companies willing to have these partnerships with government, and
there's so many examples of it. And of course now everyone mocking him like
these things don't exist, but in reality they do. People surround themselves with
it, and you know it's been said, how do you how do you
get a bug? In everybody's room. And the answer was, invent the
iPhone and all the phones that follow anything taken a voice command. Man,
it's sending that data out unless you change the settings. And even then,
I don't know that people have one hundred percent confidence that that'll do the trick.
So I'm glad they're working on it. And this should be bipartisan.
This shouldn't be difficult. This is one oh six one FM Talk in the
Triangle and here's Talk WPTI and the Tryad. All right, good morning,
seven thirty five. Welcome back here on the case O Day Radio program.
Yeah, so the FBI allegedly inappropriately search for information and monitored communications of a
US senator using a national intelligence provision intended for monitoring foreign nationals. That according
to a court opinion released Friday from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, said the
opinion rather from the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court, So the FBI improperly searched a
database for information on an unidentified US senator, an unidentified state senator, and
a judge. And of course they're not going to say who what? Why
once tell us who the senator was? Or why don't you ask the senator
if the senator wants us to know who it was, because I have a
sneaking suspicion that this senator, the state senator, and this judge might have
something politically in common. But again I'm just speculating. I don't know.
However, we do get a little insight because they do mention what they think
might have been motivation having to do with the judge. Let's see here.
Yeah, so information on the judge was searched after he essentially got into a
tangle with a police chief over it. Kind of some woke steps. I
think it was on the police, the police chief side. The judge felt
the police were not doing what they needed to do. So yeah, I
don't know. I don't know. Ironically, the American Civil Liberties Union has
actually sued to make it public. That's crazy. All told you ready for
this. FBI has misused the section seven O two as its described portion of
the This goes back to the Homeland security and there the establishment of homeland security
in the Patriot Act. They've missused it just two hundred and seventy eight thousand
times. Whoops. And they use the word just in front of it.
No, seriously, at during congressional testimony. One of the big wigs there.
What is this guy's name, what's his full name? It's Contreris.
They get a floating head in this story. Oh here we go, yeah,
m Rudolph Contreris. So he's he's one of the big wig judges um
on this foreign intelligence surveillance chord. He points out that during testimony the FBI
said quote that they were doing a better job of applying the querying standard and
push back on larger estimates of abuse, saying that it had been misused just
over two hundred and seventy eight thousand times. Great Section seven or two first
implemented in two thousand and eight. So this was an expansion of original powers
under the remember going back to five supports and all this. So this was
an expansion of it from two thousand and eight. Actually was renewed under Trump
in twenty eighteen because it has a ten year renewal window. Ironically, many
of these violations were probably part and parcel of some of the shenanigans going on
with the Steel dossier. I'm telling you there were a few things, and
I think it was just because a Trump had allowed himself to be surrounded by
some of these swamp creatures, but didn't recognize all of them. And I
never understood it. Stuff like this is was key to this and I remember
this was like this whole narrative at the time when they were trying to get
Trump to renew this is this would destroy our ability to stop terrorists, right,
That's what the media was running around touting. And then you find out
that they were turning their attention on the nearly three hundred thousand US citizens,
including elected officials. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be abundantly
clear here. If you have an elected official who was literally working with some
foreign intelligence agent agent like I don't know, maybe some hot Chinese lady with
two names that are the same, I understand why that may end up on
the radar. But flat out this was these were violations. These were like
the unmasking stuff that took place. Not good man, not good at all.
And now they're not even going to tell us who was violated, even
though I have some theories, all right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. This story is bonkers. I saw some people were
upset because they because the headline doesn't say where this was but I don't know
that where it was matters. So the headline is an eight year old had
no trouble buying an AK forty seven online and mailing at home. Well,
if you read that right, you read that one it's in the New York
posts. You think, oh, it's in the US. It wasn't.
And also it wasn't. He didn't just go to AK forty seven dot com,
which I think has to be a website, but I didn't check in
and and do it. No, this story is much crazier. This is
in the Netherlands, and according to the woman, her eight year old son
managed to purchase in AK forty seven off the dark web without her knowledge.
Will you're eight year olds on the dark web? My son started hacking at
the age of eight, that's what he ordered the guns, said Barbara German.
He spent an awful lot of his time behind the computer and was ordering
things on the internet without pain. It started with quote free pizza, but
progressively the deliveries became more horrifying. And you let him stay on there.
This is ridiculous, man, hold on, hold on, hold on,
hold on, because I gotta throw there's one other piece in here, because
I know where you're going. It started his free pizza, but progressively the
deliveries became more horrifying, and in fact, when she'd walk into the room,
he would use incomprehensible code phrases to let the people that he was dealing
with on the dark web know that his mom was in the room, because
in addition to this, they were also the eight year old was laundering money
for elicit criminal gangs on the dark web. If you if you were to
tell me Ross go onto the dark web, all right, I would have
no idea how to get into the dark web. I would go on a
darkweb dot com. I don't like, oh yeah, no, that's how
you do it. He's laundering money. And they're trying to frame this as
like a gun rights thing, right, like, oh look how easy it
is to purchase a gun on the internet, and they're they're they're not mentioning
that it's not in the United States. And listen, the issue is she
has like a savant Kaiser soz in her house. No, that's whoad would
you want to bet a family member of an up and cubby kaiser would not?
You're on the clock at that point, man, If your son is
I would, by the way, raise your hand if you're a parent that
you heard like, oh, you go in and Johnny's on the dark Web.
If you're like, oh, okay, have fun. Even if you
know nothing about Ross, you just that you don't know how to get on
the dark By the way, don't send emails explaining how to get on the
dark Web. I don't want to get on the right I don't want to
know. I know that there's a browser, I know what it is.
Don't care. Okay, with that in mind. With that in mind,
if you found any of your parents, if you found your kid on the
dark Web, and you knew your kid was getting stuff mail to your house
he didn't pay for from the dark web, don't you intervene in that in
some way? You know? If I walk in the Lincoln is on like
the dark Web, and after days of googling figuring out what all this code
is, I'm like, oh my god, that is the dark Web,
right, yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I'm like, he's laundering
money and he's ordering you know, automatic weapons and stuff. I well,
didn't he accident because they try to make it sound like it was a whoopsie,
And I remember Lincoln ordered that F fourteen time play that one time because
he saw a top gun and he's like, gotta have one. At that
point, I do one of two things. I contact either M I T
or the DoD and I tell them that my eleven year old autistic child is
a savant and they need to hire him right now. He works he works
for dark But though, I mean that's because this is the thing too.
You may not realize your kid is on the Dark Web, right if you're
if you're not very computer, I would have no idea. I'd walk in
there and I'd be like, what is this? However, however, no,
no, no, I know. But when if you keep getting packages
with increasingly quote increasingly more horrifying contents, you know, at that point you're
just like, I don't even know if he's on the Dark Web or not,
but I know that there's a problem with my kid on the internet.
Like you don't have to be computer literate, because a hand grenade showed up
right bright. At that point you're like, well, I'm taking the phone
away, I'm unplugging the computer. Of course, they just go to an
internet cafe or a library, because that's what they do. In the movies.
But um, yeah, dude, uh but she said, uh that
yes, the hackers also were using her eight year old son to launder money
for them. But it wasn't until the automatic weapon, along with the thousand
rounds of AMMO, showed up at her doorstep that she realized there might be
a problem here. See. The the issue is the kid had like Skylar
White as a mom. You know what I mean. This is the same
issue that at Walt Walt, you know, the Heisenberg had it, the
same exact thing. He's probably damn it. Mom, is this is this
uh breaking bad round. Yeah, people hate Skylar. Skylar is the worst,
the absolute worst. Is Skylar still alive? I believe so at the
end, yeah she was still alive. Oh okay, But the mom ruins
everything here for the kid. If I was the mom, I would be
I would feel like I was in danger Darkweb dot com. It's right,
And then you want to go to Hitman dot com if you got a problem
this, which is completely legitimate, yeah, absolutely one percent. In fact,
I have a story about that, but we'll get to that in a
minute. First, raced Agix here and he gonna make you sweat you're eight,
I'm a bad It's eight year old is on the dark web laundering money
and ordering weapons, and it like appressively kept going on. At no point
did she'd go, I should intervene in this now, Yeah, you probably
should. That's weird because I was watching a House of Card yesterday about the
dark web. Yeah, yeah, that came up today that would you know
how anyway? Dark web? Do you know how? I don't want to
know how to get on the dark web. Yeah, I don't even want
to be on the web exactly. Good point anyway, Yeah whatever, But
um, yeah, he's coming back. I mean, nice little break,
especially yesterday for some of us. But some shower thunder showers in the area,
most of them now pushed on off toward the east and through the outer
Bank. So if you're going eastbound and maybe at your beach week and you're
still coming through town, you may hit some showers that way. Mid eighties
today's high, so I still staying below ninety. But as I mentioned last
week, it's coming back, and back in a big way. A little
clouden fog early tomorrow morning than Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday,
Sunday. Casey, this could be potentially through next weekend sunshine and getting
hotter low nineties tomorrow than mid to upper nineties as we go Wednesday through Sunday
of the rest of this week, so maybe around ninety two to ninety seven,
depends on where you are. TRYAD be a couple degrees not as hot.
TRYAD will be a couple degrees as hotter as they usually aren't. Into
the mountains, it's still going to be ninety plus. So I'll get ready
today, it'll be the coolest and then it's loaded mid nineties through midweek,
middle to maybe upper nineties as with a head tour the late weekend into the
weekend. So it looks like we're gonna get back into summertime temperatures. But
this is the time of year where usually we see our hottest temps. Yeah
well, look, I as see spokesman for the state of North Carolina.
We reject this forecast, and you need to come back to something else.
Okay, okay, let me work on that, right, Yeah, some
a little more town school all right through it was a dark web. Yeah
yeah, yeah, that's what you do. Dot com, dark web,
dot com. Go there now, got it? All right? There you
go racet agent from the Weather Channel. Coming up, we'll get a little
gas lighting lesson. I'm gonna find that some some kid tried to hire a
hitman hitman dot com thirteen year old or something. I think it was in
Florida, because of course, I'll see if I can dig that story up
coming up here on the k c O day radio program Smart Talk all DAYPTI
in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All
right, So, and I don't know how to say it, um gig
is it giglow or gee low beach? I don't know, but obviously if
you're in the New York area, it seems to be. The New York
Post is obsessed with this this serial killer story. So they arrested this guy,
and of course one of the stories they did was about how one time
this guy who was an architectural or construct some sort of construction architecture kind of
firm, um that firm was hired at one of the Trump towers for like
a quarter million dollar little Renau job. And the headline was Trump hired previously
high former or serial killer, formerly hired a serial killer, And I'm just
like what he won? Trump didn't hire the dude obviously, whoever the building
manager was, who had this small project that needed to be done. Trump's
not sitting there doing that. But they had to make their fun little connection.
But the bigger story is they're seemingly over a decade and a half were
clues out there and tips that were called in and nothing was done about it.
In fact, the fifty nine year old's name is Rex Huerman once took
time off from his job as Manhattan archy with architect to install a concrete lined
vault at his family's Long Island house. It's only now with the serial killer
context that they realized what he had done, as he had built a secret
soundproof sell which is so on brand for abduction, rape, murder, killed
serial killers as to be even a little cliche. According to authorities, they
suspect at least one of the women was actually killed in the chamber. It's
not just a hidden room, but it was a vault including a huge,
heavy duty safe door. Yeah, this whole thing just screamed. I have
a question. If you're a contractor and some guys having you build what looks
to be an underground soundproof cell, do you ask questions or are you just
happy to have the work? Because I could. I could. I could
think of scenarios where building a soundproof room would be wholly appropriate. Like let's
say that the you know, let's say you do radio, right, and
you want to add on a studio to your house, right because you're you're
making Limba money. If you know, Limbaugh actually moved his whole facility to
his Palm Beach estate. There at a big outbuilding, right, you might
get somebody, but generally it's not hidden, and it generally doesn't have a
vault door that doesn't open from the inside. So I and this guy's an
architect, so it sounds like he probably had some people helped him do this
based on the size of it. I don't know, man, I think
if you if you're having if you got a soundproof, secret hidden room in
your house, like, people are probably going to ask questions. And I
don't know that I blame them. I'd be nervous. Like let's say hypothetically
you had a secret room that was so soundproof there was like a whole furry
dance party in it. People should ask questions. That's all I'm saying right
there. Maybe it's just they want to have a dance party. Maybe it's
a radio studio, but maybe it's you know, Buffalo Bill's basement craziness.
Although ross you attend, you contend you didn't build that. It came with
the house, right. I've already explained this numerous times, and I'm tired
of you bringing it up. I was down in my basement. I was
doing some work. They went through the drywall and all of a sudden,
sounds burst it out of it. Yea, and it was rude sandstorment.
I. Yes, we took the wall down and inside was a giant furry
dungeon. Yes, twenty or thirty furies chained to the wall. Oh strobe
light right there above, spinning around, obviously insane from listening to rude unrepeat
for however many years. It came with the house, dude, And I
can't. I can't tell them to leave now they have squatters rights. There's
nothing I can do about it. They're chained to the wall, though.
Do you unchain him? At least? No, I dn't chained them.
Yeah, oh okay, Well that you're a humanitarian, that's furfect. No,
it's seriously, if you're a contract or, you're showing up, You're
like, what do we build it? We build it and out build a
shed filling the barn. Oh you want a secret two foot thick concrete underground
room with a volt door. I'd be fearful at that point, right if
you're the guy constructing it, yeah, you've better do a good job.
But not show up on the very last day. That's the key. One
day shy of it being done. Just no show. Okay, all right,
good morning everybody, and welcome. I'm going to get into power number
three here on your Monday eight o seven Acody Radio program. A couple of
stories over the weekend I was reading and follow up to the e F three
tornado that toured through Rocky Mountain the surrounding area, including an interview that somebody
did with Marvin Hicks, who was a worklift tech who was walking back to
the shop when he got it. He actually got the weather alert on his
phone, and I mean, I don't know, as you need a weather
alert to realize that things were dicey. But then it was on as rotation
was noticed, and he said the wind was strong. The power went out
and he just sat there in the building as the tornado passed. Eventually walking
outside, saw the damage, said he'd never experienced anything like that before and
hopefully never agains or that'd be terrifying. Also saw the governor headed down there
was touring some of the damage with a handful of folks. Somebody sent me
an email because there were Maddie were sneakers. I got a lot of beasts
with Cooper. But if it wants to wear sneakers, I think I'm okay
with that. But regardless, the folks who represent the Rocky Mountain Area,
Rocky Mountain Air excuse me, they have They get a lot of constituent concerns
to be digging through one of those reps as Alan Chester, He joins us.
Now, Alan, thanks for calling back him. We only had a
few minutes last week, but I'm hoping now you folks have a better scope
of what all we're dealing with. So were you Were you touring with the
governor? I didn't see in the one picture I saw. Yeah, Casey,
thanks for having me. Yeah, we were out there with the governor,
showing them around and showing them where the damage was and just trying to
get trying to get a handle on things and get an actual assessment of what
the damages are. Now that we've made sure that you know, there's no
loss of life, and as the citizens have all the services they need,
now we can go through and start collecting the data that we need through the
damages. Do a kind of federal aid we qualify for. We'll give us
the scope here, I mean, do you have do you have a rough
estimate from a monetary standpoint how many people were displaced from work? So the
monetary portion is what we're still trying to figure out. That's what where we're
starting this morning is doing assessments for total monetary damage, just in residential damage.
The short number that we have is in the millions already. UM about
two and a half million is what we're hearing. That does not include the
DT recovery that it does not include additional state assets that were sent our direction
by the governor's office, UM, and it does not include Viser or the
City of Rocky Mount at all. We're still waiting to hear those numbers back,
but so were I suspect we're going to be well clear of the federal
threshold that's required for FEMA funds. But that's just speculation on my fund from
any So we didn't have any loss of life, which was amazing when you
see these pictures obviously, but um, we did have what eighty nine was
eighty nine injuries or something, I don't know what the numbers got capped out
at. Um, what is the range of those injuries? Is there somebody?
Is there significant condition injuries or what is your understanding? So fortunate for
us, they've ranged from you know, non life threatening minor injuries bump scrapes,
bruises. Um. Most people refused EMS treatment at the scene, so
they're very minor injuries there. Um. And then we had some transported to
the hospital. The most severe I had to say about this, but it
was fortunately it was just broken bones they were in the last person it was
in the hospital whiles cold was released yesterday. UM. So I think you
know, broken hip was was mentioned and someone else had a broken shoulder socket
and pump broken leg, I believe, um, but those are tornado.
But paring through your home or your business to be with broken bones, um,
I think that is something that's a good thing, even if it's not
obviously good building individuals. So um, let's talk about not just the immediate
economic damage but you know the fact is Fiser, and we mentioned this,
they have literally thousands of employees and um, what is Rocky Mount fifty thousand
plus the surrounding area. I don't know what the total total area is,
but that's just that's a that's not an insignificant percentage. And it's not like
Fiser is going to be up and running here in a week. So let's
talk about the long term there. Yeah. So again we're fortunate here because
Fiser is recommitted to rebuild. Um, they're going to be paying their employees
while the rebuild is in process. UM, So we're fortunate for that partnership
that we have with them. And I think the recovery, well, we
don't know specifics yet because even they're still doing their internal um investigation togure out
what it's going to take. I think the conversation spins around measuring in months
and not years, which is fortunate. Oh really, okay, because I
saw estimates of like one to two years. So you're telling me it's less
than that, that's great news. Yeah, the conversations we're having are measured
in months, thank god. Where Um, all right, so you go
through, you go through the federal GUD. I hate to say this,
but it's the politics that we deal with, and I think that there's probably
a net bonus in the fact that it's a Democrat governor going to a democratic
administration. I hate that this is what we have to deal with, even
though this is this is an insurance policy that states pay into. We've seen
denials here in North Carolina previously over stuff that should have been paid. And
we've also seen continued concern over the states handling of restitution and help from hurricanes
that we don't even remember the name from they were so long ago kind of
things. So how do we make sure that everyone stays on top of this
and the process goes through as it should and politics doesn't inject itself. Well,
I think, as you said, this may actually be one of those
scenarios where obviously we've tried to keep politics out. This is not a time
if he looked at the photos or followed any of my social media that's been
incredibly bipartisan. Support has been broad, and we've just been focused on the
community and the rebuilding, not politics. But if we are going to look
at the politics of the situation, I think that politics may Lenda helping hid
in this scenario. It you know, it's the county that our governor claims
to help from, and so he went to high school here, and he
has family ties here. His brothers would to judge in the community, so
that should keep it high on his priority list. Like you said, the
relationship that he has with the sitting president and the director of the Federal Emergency
Management should be a benefit to us in this particular scenario. Um, and
uh, I'm kind of a pistol with a bone, so he's the I'm
not going to allow him to allow it to fall off of his radar if
the choice comes to me. Um. I said on an interesting committee called
the oversight committee, where we can bring people in and ask questions. Yeah,
now that's uh, that's if I not frankly, I don't want to.
I don't want your job. I don't want to the federal lever local
level for that matter, easier on the radio, just dispet things and go
home. But um, oversight committee does seem to be the fun one,
so I will say, oh yeah again, I hope. I don't suspect
it's going to get to that level. Everyone's working together quite well, but
we have had issues in the past with this um we're learning from from those
um which is which is fortunate. Again, you know, not to repeat
the mistakes of the past. But I believe that everything's on the rails here
that we should be moving towards what everyone would see is as a successful conclusion
to this. But if not, there are steps that can be taken.
All right, last question represent valanchester with it. So if I don't know
the level of knowledge that everyone who may have been impacted has about how to
reach out or who who to reach out to. So if you're somebody in
the listening who's listening to us and you were impacted, maybe you know,
maybe it's in nash or maybe an Edgecombe or wherever, do you contact the
state? Do you contact your mayor? I mean, how do you I
wouldn't even know how to go about this? What are people supposed to do?
Yeah, so I would tell people it's always easier to start locally.
There's a ton of resources available to people. But like you said, it's
it's so broad, it's so far reaching that it becomes overwhelming, especially if
you've suffered some sort of traumatic loss in this. So just reach out to
your local elected officials, let them do their job and direct you down the
pipeline that it is there for you. So if you're in the Dorches area,
reach out the mayor vick uh. If you're in the city of Rocking
out the city council members and the mayor there, the mayor's office is ready
to help and prepared, and that would be your best bet is just to
reach out to those local elected officials that you already know and have a relationship
with and allowed them to facilitate things and line things up for you. And
then also it's an extra layer of accountability. Somebody you can hold accountable for
what happens. Then all right, oh, some just broke behind you.
Sorry about that. Representative Allan Chester with us. I appreciate the update there.
It soundlike he kicked a keg over. I'm just gonna be honest with
you. So I think I kicked Ross's drum kit. Oh okay, Hey,
that's just Kid's drum kit. I bought it for him, and I've
heard I've never heard about it ever. Again, it's crazy, So all
right, thank you very much, appreciate it. And um uh, you
know, I hope, I hope this is a smooth process for everyone.
Thanks all right, thank you? Yeah, man, there it is.
How old was he? What I got there for him? But I think
it was like two one and a half two or something. I don't know
what happened to you still have it? Right? So it was stolen?
Oh really it's stolen. Oh man, lean your lawnmower. We got your
lawnmower and your and your kid's drum kit. That's a shame, I thought,
he really, it's not like you really like that, man. All
right, So I want a call back there. I thought about that in
a long time. All right. Eight seventeen Casey Oda Radio program hang on
one six one FM Talk and nine four five w PTI, two stations driving
the best in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News.
This might be the most tone deaf or spot not I'm not. That's not
referring to our last interview. Just to be clear on the setup. This
might be the most tone deaf response to a story. I think I've seen
it quite some time. I heard I heard him talking about at least on
the Raleigh News. So carry the murder capital of North Carolina, as we
refer to it on the show, and and I haven't said it in a
while, so let me explain it again. Years ago they had like the
crime statistics for all the surrounding communities, and the largest year over year increase
for what are considered the larger cities in North Carolina as a percentage for murders
was Carrie, because one year they had none and then the next year they
had like two. So we deemed at the murder capital of North Carolina,
which at the time really irritated one of the council members. I remember he
and I got a verbal. It's something I was at he showed out too,
and he's just wanted me to know it wasn't funny, which then made
me do it more because I'm that childish. But whatever. Anyway, So
in carry A, one of the K nine officers was injured on Friday after
being hit by a car that a man had stolen from a Carry dealership and
it was attempting to flee police. This was from Hendricks, the Hendricks dealership
down on sixty four. The man entered the dealership inquired about test driving a
Ford truck. During the test drive, pulled out a firearm and told the
salesman to get out. You know, yeah, when it comes to modern
vehicles, that's probably not gonna work out for you. They're immensely trackable.
But I digress. Raleigh Police officers were called to assist quickly located the truck.
The suspect fled from Raleigh PD in back into the Carry area, and
they located the truck on Carry Parkway some where was this Lake Pine Drive and
Carry Parkway. Officers approached the truck, attempted to take the suspect into custody,
including one of the canines, and um one order ordered to get out.
The suspect fled from the parking lot and struck the canine officer. So,
um yeah, the dog, by the way, is in stable condition.
So that is that is good news, all right. So I'm sitting
there and I'm looking at this, and I'm looking at people's reaction because I
happened to see it on Twitter and one of the comments under there you have
to go the hidden was somebody who was it was this this chick who's like,
I gotta find it again. I was gonna go back and look it
up. I'm just scared at the story here. Anyway, Well, you
get the gist of it. So one of the comments was somebody was really
concerned about the dog, and I there was a few of those, and
I'm you know, because you know, loves animals all that. But in
her into her bio it says it's in there. In her titling, it
said a cab in parentheses, and then you click on it and it's all
like soft Antifa stuff, and I'm like, well, wait a second,
old odd and I almost commented, but I'm just, I just I don't
care enough. That's a Knine officer and literally in your header you wrote all
cops or bastards, So which is it. I'm just I'm I'm concerned that
maybe you're not being intellectually consistent here, But now I'm I'm glad the the
dog is going to make it the Knine officer there. They later found the
stolen truck abandoned, and no one's been arrested yet. I think if they
have, I haven't seen an update. So something to think about there,
All right, let me let me head back to this. A Texas TikToker
is trapped in Dubai and faces two years in prison after a quote screaming at
an employee of a rental car agency. She's got how many followers? You
got one hundred and eighty two thousand. I don't know how to gauge on
TikTok if that's good. I seem like it seems like you get a lot
more interaction on TikTok And maybe it's just the speed of it, but that's
probably a good number anyway. So she's an influencer. She goes by Sassy
Trucker, but then she went to Dubai and decided to get into this verbal
altercation. The problem in Dubai you run into is not just you're an outsider
in Dubai. Dubai really caters what they do to people, not necessarily just
citizens there because there's very few of them. Actually, the majority of people
in the country are non citizens. That basically serve the very rich people who
do live in Dubai. But also they don't like women screaming at men because
you know, Middle East and stuff. So yeah, So at that point
authorities intervened. The twenty nine year old quote social media star that's the New
York Post words not mine, was stopped saying her credit cards, debit cards,
cell phone, along with her passport. We're all impounded, so she's
not actually in jail, but she can't leave Dubai. The manager allegedly demanded
money in exchange for the possessions and retracted and reacted with hostility toward Alan.
He followed me outside and I felt very intimidated. I told him to stop,
but instead he called the police opened a case against me for quote screaming,
all right, so what do you think? Ross guilty? Not guilty,
completely guilty. We need to see more of this? Why because yeah,
I mean you see the photo. You see she's on ticksie. You
could hear the voice in your head right her screaming at this dude, start
acting like a civilized person or you go to prison. And how about that?
So what she gets ten years for tiktoking? Really that's a crime,
now, I mean maybe it should be. I don't know. TikTokers are
annoying. Man your day smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk
five WUPTI more with Casey starts. Now. I's got this email and that's
exactly correct, although I think there's a little more going on here with the
TikTok Sassy Trucker curl over in Dubai so she documented, obviously, because she's
a social media influencer on the TikTok all of the you know, the crazy
beach party stuff. She was in Dubai. She was doing there, which
happens, but they don't like to hear about it. Dubai's weird. Man.
I gotta buddy, you moved there from Raleigh. He gotta. He
gotta like a job offer of a lifetime. He's very happy over there.
But and it's like everything you could ever want. It is perfectly achievable over
there. And however, you got to keep it behind the scenes. And
like many places in the world, bribes get it done, guys, send
me an email. And he's right, she should have done her homework.
Bribes is how the world turns. In the Middle East a very acceptable practice.
Um and um. You know there are there are, if for people
who do business over in the Middle East, or not just in the Middle
East, but in countries where bribes are a part of a part of the
practice. They have two choices, right, you can you can do it
and you know, grease the palms and facilitate what's going on, or you
can wait for your stuff to sit in customs forever. She did something else
though, over in Dubai. She posted a video somebody let her drive a
semitruck over there because she is She's from Texas and she does she has a
she has a CDL and she posted about how she was the first woman to
drive a semitruck in in in United Arab Emirates because they don't let women drive
him over there. So she posted a video flaunting that she was doing something.
I think that that's playing a little more into this, and I don't
know that a bribe makes that go away, because you're it's a big fu
to them. It's like, remember that dude who they arrested because he got
like a bunch of you got like ten you you know, uh smoke show
Eastern European nude models to do that photo shoot on the balcony there. It
wasn't that he did it, it was that he posted pictures of it on
the internet. And Dubaia's like, no, we're gonna deal with that,
and it didn't go well for the guys. So yeah, I think it's
a little a little from each bucket, I guess if I had to guess.
You know, a friend of mine said this one time and He's right.
The majority of the world's run and to some here in the US also,
but more openly elsewhere, is run by money, brute force, and
hot chicks. Yeah, and I've I've known some people in the energy industry
that worked in Wyoming but then went to work and they were doing work over
in Africa. And we're talking like shoeboxes with money in it and hookers,
And I mean, that's that was what they're The stories were amazing. Now
I don't know how much they were embellished, but I suspect not much.
But that was the cost of getting things done. Just do the level of
corruption. Meanwhile, the corruption here, according to MSNBC, what hell,
that's that's the evil Republican Republicans. This headline from NBC News. President,
wait, hold on, is everyone's sitting down. Please don't be in a
standing But if you're shaving right now and you have a razor near your neck,
maybe just pull it away for a moment so you don't have an involuntary
muscle reflex where you just cut your own throat. President Biden's family's story has
long been one of his greatest strengths politically. Now, Republicans are starting to
think they can turn it into a liability. Really, so you think you
think all this stuff coming out about Biden's family, you think that Republicans just
Republicans out there thinking they could turn it into a life. Why do you
think that they're able to turn it into a liability? Because I agree with
you, I think they can probably do a damn bit better job of messaging
that. But to the extent that they're able to point it out and if
people will actually listen, dude, I had no idea until I did a
deep dive on all the Romania stuff. The Romania stuff is crazy. So
you have this super corrupt real estate mogul over in Romania who is partnered with
these guys in Kazakhstan that leads all the way up to the most powerful political
and richest people in Kazakhstan. And they're funneling all this money through and making
these payouts over and over and over again, totaling well into the millions of
dollars three something million dollars over the series of years, and they're going to
they're literally in some cases going to Hunter Biden you can see it on the
accounting lines, or going to one of his two partner companies. Some are
going to Hailey Biden. That of course would be Hunter Biden's ex sister in
law, which he started having relationship with after his brother died. And then
there's other lines where it just goes to what is referred to as Biden and
there's not a first name attached to it. And they have all this and
that's the stuff they know about, right, that's an influence peddling. And
then they are able to track when Hunter would go over and visit these folks
over in hungry and over in Kazakhstan, and then he'd immediately come back,
and when he'd fly back within forty eight hours, he was having a meeting
with his dad at the Vice presidential residence or at the beach house. Because
there's calendars on this stuff. Is that what it is? Or is it
Joe Biden putting out stockings for all his grandchildren saying he talks to all of
them and negating the last one that was born. The Republicans really have to
work to make that a liability. As Joe Biden would say, come on,
man, but that's NBC News now going into I saw this story initially
close the business Friday and I'm glad that they I'm glad that over the weekend
they were able to ascertain that there might be some funny business going on here.
So Friday afternoon, police in Delray Beach, Florida, which by the
way, is one of my favorite towns in Florida. Delray Beach is awesome.
I will just let me just say that, love the down love the
you know, the main drag there with all the stuff I had. I
had a couple of people that I knew or lived down there, and they
were extolling the virtues. Really like Delray Beach. Didn't spend enough time there,
you know, to fully immerse. But I liked what I saw versus
some other places in Florida. I've gotten that being said, late Friday afternoon,
Delray Beach police said they received a report of a suspicious object floating in
the Intercoastal Waterway. So office's some of the Marine patrol officers went and fished
the suitcase out of the water inside a chopped up woman. And I swear
to you, when they initially ran this story, they said that they were
investigating to see if there was perhaps any criminality. I'm sorry, I can't
remember how they worded it, but that was the gist of it. They
were gonna they were gonna see if there was any suspicions if Okay, even
if it's an intact body in a suitcase, I still think you have to
operate on the side that something's going on. But to be dismembered and put
in a suitcase, I feel like that raises the awareness that this wasn't perhaps
a natural death unless she's just like the worst two Denie ever. And by
the way, shortly thereafter, officials in Texas announced that they were also they
were also investigating a suspicious object that turned out to be you ready for this,
a duffel bag containing chopped up woman. At least in Texas, they
said that they were investigating it as a quote homicide. But just the fact
that you have these two very similar cases, that's it. Well, then
you're ready. Now there's a third one. So I think that two in
Texas one in Florida. I think that maybe law enforcements starting to think there
might be some criminal behavior here. And I don't know if they're connected or
not, but that is weird, huh. And Delray Beach isn't a hell
hole it's kind of a nice place. Oh there you go, all right,
eight forty five here to make amends with a nicer forecast as ray stagent
using the power of heart. Yeah, well, I wish I could go
inside if you want to get a relief from the eat. Now. Today
is not going to be terrible to isolated showers thunder showers from about the triangle
east right now. Some pretty heavy storms getting ready to push off the outer
banks, but there may be more trying to fire up clouds at some sun
otherwise, load of mid eighties tonight, some clouds, upper sixties tomorrow,
little fog early than mostly sunny and just above ninety for most of us,
maybe some upper eighties triad and west. And then Wednesday, Thursday and Friday,
and probably through the weekend it's gonna be a run of sunshine, hot,
dry weather as this ridge kind of digs in and slides to our east
and just below us, so we'll kind of be on the top of the
heat bridge, leaving temperatures in the load of maybe middle nineties in front of
the triangle there. Maybe a few days late week toward the weekend we could
get into the upper nineties, which I define as ninety seven, ninety eight,
ninety nine. I'm pretty sure that's what most wood. But you get
the message. There's some hotter weather coming back, dry weather, and by
the end of the weekend most of us will be like, why are you
gonna cool it off? And when are you gonna give me some rain?
Because yeah, yeah, it could dry out real quick in the summertime,
even though you get rained, you get four or five days in a row
of sunny mid nineties, and that's gonna dry things out pretty quick. Well,
you just just use the air today. How's that? Yeah? Capture
their Yeah, exactly, throw it thrown around during the week. If not,
gonna be nice. All right, Thanks to appreciate it, Okay,
and we'll come back. Chat with Jeff Bellinger next, hang on, keeping
you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh
six one FM Talk in the Triangle. A morning Bloomberg Update now with Jeff
Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening well this morning? Casey stock sended narrowly mixed
on Friday. The Dow gained just three points, but that was enough to
extend the Blue chips winning streak to a tenth session. Looks like stocks will
start out a little bit higher. This morning. We've been higher right across
the board now. Futures are up twenty eight points at the moment. Federal
Reserve Board policymakers open a two day meeting tomorrow. Most economists think interest rates
will be hiked by a quarter of a percentage point. There is some debate
among the experts over whether this will be the last increase. United Parcel Service
and the Teamsters resume their contract talks tomorrow, just one week ahead of the
strike deadline. UPS says the two sides will negotiate the few remaining open issues
and it is committed to reaching an agreement. If you'll be flying somewhere,
your flights could be effected by the weather, even if there are no storms
at either end of your trip. Excessive heat alone is forcing the airlines to
adjust their operations. In some areas, high temperatures make air less dense that
reduces the performance of jet engines. Carriers have had to reduce the weight on
some planes, cutting the amount of fuel on board or cutting the baggage,
or limited the number, limiting the number of passengers and check your wallets,
purses. Dresser drawers and email inbox. There is a good chance you have
at least one unused gift card, voucher or store credit you forgot about.
Banquet dot Com says that is the case for nearly half nearly half of all
American adults. The average card value is one hundred eighty seven dollars. That's
a total of around twenty three billion dollars nationwide. And casey, Twitter users
will see another change. Elon Musk announced over the weekend he is dropping the
blue bird logo that has symbolized the short messaging platform. Twitter's new logo will
be a stylized letter X. It will represent that the service is now part
of a new entity called X Corp. Casey, have you seen Have you
seen the new Twitter look? So? Yeah, there is got to go
to the desktop version. Okay, yeah, there's a version that they show
it on the Bloomberg terminal too. Oh okay, yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, Well how do you how'd you feel about it? Are
you not a big Twitter guy? Yeah? I don't use Twitter. I
like the bird better, but you know whatever. All right, all right,
thanks for the updates or we'll talk tomorrow. Okay, sounds good.
Have a good day. All right, Ross, you went and looked at
it. What do you what do you think? Yeah? Yeah, I
mean I don't care either way. I'm still gonna use it. People are
still gonna use it. It's not going anywhere. I think it'll be like
when you change the name of Fort Bragg, right, it's still Bragg.
Or you change the name of the Serious Tower, still the Serious Tower.
Yeah, people make that reference, or Cameron Village or any of the rest.
Yeah, all right, I hear you. I think some people are
gonna look at it him, Yeah, just because it doesn't look the same.
But if it fun the trick is Elon. If he kills some of
the functionality, then the media is gonna fire. Now that they're gonna stop,
but it'll just feed the beast some more. All right, real quick,
Donna, what's up? Good morning, Casey, good morning. Two
things. Um pretty hard to yourself into a suitcase with no arms, Well
there's arms. There were arms, and in another suitcase right no, no,
no, no no no, each suitcase had their own collection of a
person. So oh okay, all right, I thought they've only found a
chores uh huh okay. So I wanted to touch on the NBC y Biden's
family. Yeah, the Republicans are picking on the bidens um are they not
aware that he has a crackhead fell in son, he throws guns away in
dumpsters and a grandchild he won't it knowledge? Well, I mentioned the grandchild,
but that was he had a family member with the drug addiction. How
dare you bring it up even though it was if it was just that,
if it was just him running around, uh you know, shooting photos and
doing drugs with hookers. I think that there is a huge swath the Duke
care. Who wouldn't It's the part where that money that funded that seems to
have been part of an inn fluence pedaling scheme. So yeah, hy ye
yea. It's important to remember in the Biden issue when it comes to money
laundering and stuff like that. But he also has a stutter, so please
take that into consideration. Well, it's part of his Puerto Rican Jewish roots
and hearts gravel pa. So yeah, come on man, all right,
so twenty thousand you have sent me the story. I did see it.
Technically, this isn't in Yellowstone. And let me just clarify when I told
you that when I was a kid grown up Wyoming. One of the things
that we would look for is the annual tourist goring season, as idiots would
show up and try to pet bison and stuff. I'm only speaking about people
doing stupid things like hey, let's pose the family for a selfie. Occasionally
people get attacked. And this woman who was mauled by a grizzly bear,
she technically was outside the park and she was on a hiking trail, and
I don't know that she did anything. However, I doesn't sound like she
was armed, and that in and of itself, I don't understand. And
because she was, she was in gallatin force. She could have been.
Yeah, I remember as a kid, like city kids won't remember this.
I remember when I'd be going up into the Big Horns and my buddies for
the weekend. You know how your mom would be like when you're going to
just go, hey, do you remember your backpack? On multiple occasions,
my mom going did you remember your tour at a Taurus at the time,
which was my favorite long hand like she would go, hey, don't forget
your guns because she knew and they have been expanding. Oh you know what,
Ross has had an idea, maybe we should get some of the grizzlies
in bison and as part of our Hobo Disneyland Methcot thing we're building, maybe
they should have an animal part there. We'll take some grizzlies and bison and
stuff there. There's more than enough of them. Didn't you think that'd be
amazing to have a live animal exhibit there at the giant homeless camp with the
pool and Ewok village, choo Chee tunnels and uh meth Cot. And we
won't call it a petting in Suo, but can you imagine how high the
bears would be? And by the way, Bison put up the real numbers.
Put the bears, man, they're the ones who get all the pub
when it happened. So anyway they're looking for the bear. Bad news for
the bear.
