00:00:15.279 --> 00:00:44.719
Remember remember all right, good morning
everybody in his six o seven here on

2
00:00:44.880 --> 00:00:51.000
the Cacokay radio program. Do you
did you do? Do? Ross?

3
00:00:51.079 --> 00:00:53.479
It's Friday? Right? Would you
check on that? I think it's Friday?

4
00:00:54.359 --> 00:01:00.159
Where Ross is looking? Yeah,
it's Friday. Oh wow? By

5
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:06.319
not don't recheck that. So we'll
just operate under that assumption. Although I

6
00:01:06.319 --> 00:01:12.200
did get an email, Ah,
my button bar is all weird. Do

7
00:01:12.239 --> 00:01:17.439
you still have the screaming Nebraska girl
on your button bar? Or senate woman,

8
00:01:17.799 --> 00:01:19.959
let's play a little snippet of that
here in a moment. Just have

9
00:01:19.000 --> 00:01:23.120
it ready. I only need it
for a moment. Figure this email from

10
00:01:23.159 --> 00:01:29.319
Gary Gary listens right when we start. Gary drives a truck. Wow.

11
00:01:29.439 --> 00:01:38.280
Really every day, every day Gary
is dry is between Wilmington, Raleigh,

12
00:01:38.400 --> 00:01:46.000
Greensboro, Charlotte, and even down
into South Carolina back if I well,

13
00:01:46.000 --> 00:01:48.439
that has to be monotonous, sir, But God bless you man, that's

14
00:01:48.439 --> 00:01:55.599
how things get done. Although Gary
mentioned yesterday sometimes sometimes he wishes wishes we

15
00:01:55.640 --> 00:01:59.319
wouldn't torture him so early. I'm
sorry, sir. Are you implying that

16
00:01:59.359 --> 00:02:02.840
this right here is torture? You
can play that now. Uh, screamy

17
00:02:04.000 --> 00:02:10.039
Nebraska woman from yesterday. We love
trans people, trans trans people, We

18
00:02:10.319 --> 00:02:15.319
love trans people. Okay, okay, you know what You're You're absolutely right,

19
00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:21.240
Gary, But I gotta report the
news as it is. Would you

20
00:02:21.319 --> 00:02:27.800
like a happy story as you're as
you're making your way this morning, because

21
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:30.000
I I look, I appreciate you
being out there. I appreciate you taking

22
00:02:30.080 --> 00:02:38.000
time to um send me a message. UM. Do you like baby ducks?

23
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:44.319
Gary Ross? What's your what's your
thoughts on baby ducks? Uh?

24
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:46.719
Most of the time adorable? Yeah? Right? Wait why do you say

25
00:02:46.759 --> 00:02:50.039
most of the time? Do you
think? I mean there's always some sort

26
00:02:50.039 --> 00:02:53.599
of crazy outlier story. So have
you been attacked by baby ducks? I'm

27
00:02:53.639 --> 00:02:57.960
not okay, well, I'm just
I'm just gonna let you know these baby

28
00:02:58.039 --> 00:03:01.400
ducks are adorable the whole story.
Are you okay? So yeah, you

29
00:03:01.479 --> 00:03:09.759
and Gary need not fear. Ah. This is um. This took place

30
00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:17.680
over the way. Are actually end
of last week in California. So UM,

31
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:27.800
A bunch of baby ducks trying to
cross this busy road. This is

32
00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:40.599
near Sacramento. It's evening, just
before eight, lights fading, and as

33
00:03:40.599 --> 00:03:46.240
you can imagine, drivers are on
edge because even though they are not necessarily

34
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:49.479
in the same lane as the baby
ducks, they're concerned that somebody's going to

35
00:03:49.560 --> 00:03:55.000
come by and and hit these baby
ducks. So in the middle of this

36
00:03:55.240 --> 00:04:06.360
incredibly incredibly busy main artery of traffic, a man emerges, steps out of

37
00:04:06.360 --> 00:04:15.399
his vehicle and decides he's now the
He's now the wrangler of the ducks,

38
00:04:15.759 --> 00:04:24.680
and much to the much to the
relief of the motorists, the man goes

39
00:04:24.720 --> 00:04:31.120
alongside starts clapping quietly. He's shoeing
the ducks. The ducks are progressing across

40
00:04:31.199 --> 00:04:39.959
the road. People are waving at
him. It's a really wholesome moment of

41
00:04:40.319 --> 00:04:46.759
people just kind of stopping their busy
commute. And there's video here. There's

42
00:04:46.800 --> 00:04:50.360
Mama and the baby ducks. There
he is shoot him to the side of

43
00:04:50.360 --> 00:04:53.839
the road. People are literally rolling
down their window in a plight. You

44
00:04:53.879 --> 00:04:56.399
know those stories where they're like,
and then I did this, and everyone

45
00:04:56.399 --> 00:05:00.120
applauded, and it's meant to be
a joke online in the like, he

46
00:05:00.360 --> 00:05:11.240
is actually being applauded by the other
motorists. So Gary does that, and

47
00:05:11.279 --> 00:05:15.199
then the video went viral of him
walking. Does that? Does that meet

48
00:05:15.240 --> 00:05:19.399
your requirements more so than Nebraska.
I mean, because Nebraska sent a lady

49
00:05:19.480 --> 00:05:23.560
was a story that happened at the
end of last week. This also a

50
00:05:23.600 --> 00:05:30.319
story that happened at the end of
last week. And this guy gets the

51
00:05:30.399 --> 00:05:32.519
ducks over. Everyone's happy, and
then he turns around, he walks back

52
00:05:32.560 --> 00:05:41.360
to his car and is immediately struck
and killed by a card doing about seventy

53
00:05:41.480 --> 00:05:55.759
But the ducks made it. The
ducks made The ducks are fine. Yeah,

54
00:05:55.759 --> 00:06:01.839
what a horrible story. So everyone's
having this moment there video it literally

55
00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:06.040
there's a twelve year old boy who's
rolled down his window to thank this guy

56
00:06:06.120 --> 00:06:11.480
who's filming this, and then a
car comes flying in out of nowhere.

57
00:06:16.040 --> 00:06:21.879
And now there is a giant memorial
that's sprung up over the weekend where people

58
00:06:21.879 --> 00:06:29.279
are leaving rubber duckies on the side
of the road as a makeshift memorial to

59
00:06:29.360 --> 00:06:43.240
this man. Yep, AnyWho eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven

60
00:06:43.360 --> 00:06:46.920
four. I used to see this
every year. In fact, they just

61
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.040
had something like this happened down in
Florida, Thankfully not as tragic as this.

62
00:06:58.439 --> 00:07:01.879
It looks like a pop up I'm
not click, but every year on

63
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:06.360
what was Highway sixteen. Yes,
the one Bob Dylan saying about along the

64
00:07:06.360 --> 00:07:12.959
Mississippi River. Every year you had
turtle migration, and you have these giant

65
00:07:13.000 --> 00:07:17.319
curvy roads along the Mississippi River and
they're you know, sixty five mile an

66
00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:23.240
hour highway and you'd be busting down
Highway sixteen and then all of a sudden

67
00:07:23.319 --> 00:07:29.839
somebody be stopped in the middle of
the road with waving their arms because a

68
00:07:29.959 --> 00:07:35.639
turtle's crossing, you know along it
turtle takes to cross a four or six

69
00:07:35.759 --> 00:07:40.199
lane highway. I was gonna say, typically when you see the stories turtles,

70
00:07:41.000 --> 00:07:49.040
yes, yes, this case it
was baby ducks. But the ducks

71
00:07:49.360 --> 00:07:54.839
again, the ducks were not whatever
you were concerned about, the ducks being

72
00:07:54.879 --> 00:08:01.759
that one outlier. No, ducks
are just ducks, man, Ducks are

73
00:08:01.759 --> 00:08:03.279
just ducks. But yeah, I
know the turtle thing. And like,

74
00:08:03.439 --> 00:08:07.000
I don't know if everyone as someone
was killed every year, but there was

75
00:08:07.079 --> 00:08:11.680
one incident where dude got hit by
a semitruck trying to get a turtle across

76
00:08:11.720 --> 00:08:13.759
the road. And it's like,
you know, you can pick them up

77
00:08:15.839 --> 00:08:18.360
and then not much they can do
about it, and then you just PLoP

78
00:08:18.519 --> 00:08:26.399
run them to the site if you're
so concerned. But um, no anyway,

79
00:08:28.120 --> 00:08:37.799
six fifteen kc ODA Radio program.
So no screaming Nebraska senators there,

80
00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:41.559
but a cautionary tale. Man,
Oh, I feel horrible. I'm not

81
00:08:41.559 --> 00:08:52.120
making fun of the guy at all. Just horrible, horrible story. But

82
00:08:52.159 --> 00:09:01.000
there's also, um you're getting in
that low light situation. People are in

83
00:09:01.000 --> 00:09:03.600
a hurry. People at that time
of night, eight o'clock, they might

84
00:09:03.639 --> 00:09:11.879
have had, they might have consumed. It's um, it's not a situation

85
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:16.159
that you want to put yourself in. Man. Anyway, we'll take a

86
00:09:16.159 --> 00:09:20.080
break. I got I got a
bunch of other stories. I'll give you

87
00:09:20.080 --> 00:09:24.080
a rundown on um. But we
got new bud light numbers that keeps getting

88
00:09:24.080 --> 00:09:30.840
worse. And La Times ran a
story that frankly, I think, I

89
00:09:30.879 --> 00:09:35.799
think somebody's gonna get killed. And
I think and other people think this too,

90
00:09:35.080 --> 00:09:43.200
and they're getting called homophobic for saying
it when it's reality. I'll explain

91
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:45.720
and I'll tell you what I mean. Coming up here on the case O

92
00:09:45.840 --> 00:10:07.240
Day Radio program celebrating ten years of
keeping you connected. This is ninety four

93
00:10:07.360 --> 00:10:11.879
five WPTI in the Triad and one
O six one FM Talk in the Triangle.

94
00:10:15.480 --> 00:10:24.240
All right, six twenty one,
Good morning, No, no,

95
00:10:24.360 --> 00:10:28.639
all right, So, and I
knew this was coming. I'm not has

96
00:10:28.720 --> 00:10:33.360
nothing to do with the fact it
was in California. I feel horrible for

97
00:10:33.440 --> 00:10:35.120
what happened to that guy any of
the rest of it. Am I telling

98
00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.559
you that story because it's insane,
And I gotta tell you. When I

99
00:10:39.600 --> 00:10:41.879
read it this morning about the ducks
and the dude and the videos and the

100
00:10:41.960 --> 00:10:46.720
kids and stuff, immediately I'm like, din, I'm up, I'm awake.

101
00:10:48.639 --> 00:10:54.480
That's horrible and insane all at the
same time. Plus it's a cautionary

102
00:10:54.519 --> 00:11:03.120
tale. Don't do that. We'll
in the middle of a busy street.

103
00:11:03.240 --> 00:11:07.159
I know, I know, I
know. I don't want I don't want

104
00:11:07.360 --> 00:11:11.440
the ducklings injured. I don't want
turtles runned over. So you know most

105
00:11:11.480 --> 00:11:13.559
of them. Mark, you went
to visit her family a few weeks ago

106
00:11:13.600 --> 00:11:16.000
down Louisiana, and she's say,
a picture my father in law. I

107
00:11:16.000 --> 00:11:20.320
love him, the dead Mark with
the car stopped in the middle street helping

108
00:11:20.320 --> 00:11:22.960
a turtle across the street and go
back into like you know, the woods

109
00:11:22.960 --> 00:11:26.200
there, And I'm like, dude, oh, I'm not lying. If

110
00:11:26.200 --> 00:11:28.600
I was driving and I come across
a turtle in the road. I think

111
00:11:28.639 --> 00:11:33.240
because of all the stories we've done
in the past, my brain would quickly

112
00:11:33.240 --> 00:11:37.720
assess the situation and compute the odds. Right, because I've seen this story

113
00:11:37.759 --> 00:11:39.240
so many times, I don't want
to be the guy that's hit by somebody

114
00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:43.000
moving a turtle out of the road
again, I would move. You can

115
00:11:43.080 --> 00:11:46.399
physically move turtles. You don't just
have to be like they're they're they're right

116
00:11:48.120 --> 00:11:50.519
right? You can do it.
You don't, you don't. You don't

117
00:11:50.559 --> 00:11:52.720
have to be that guy. You
can physically move them. But also if

118
00:11:52.720 --> 00:11:56.440
you shouldn't if there's no visibility and
was it on now, was it on

119
00:11:56.480 --> 00:12:00.679
at least a straight road or I'm
not sure. I don't know. Okay,

120
00:12:01.200 --> 00:12:03.120
but when you when you mean compute
by the way, checking to see

121
00:12:03.120 --> 00:12:05.919
if they're ninjas right now? Would
have to think about it. I would

122
00:12:05.919 --> 00:12:09.919
have to compute the rope one has
this sword, this speed, like he

123
00:12:09.960 --> 00:12:11.080
said, visibility yeah, And I
would have to be like, is it

124
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:16.399
a contributing productive turtle? What do
you know what I mean? Like a

125
00:12:16.480 --> 00:12:22.080
contribute dributing a productive you've ever heard
of soup? So it's so good?

126
00:12:22.639 --> 00:12:24.840
M hmm. Exactly if it was
wearing a bin dan around his neck or

127
00:12:24.879 --> 00:12:28.679
covered an ooze, I'd be like, poot, I'm gonna save this one

128
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.840
because it will eventually save you.
Exactly right. It's a pay it forward

129
00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:37.399
on the soups. I remember taking
a girl out one time and they had

130
00:12:37.519 --> 00:12:41.360
turtle soup on the minute, which
is delicious if done right. And I'm

131
00:12:41.399 --> 00:12:45.759
talking the good stuff with like the
sherry on top of tho all and um,

132
00:12:46.000 --> 00:12:52.480
I ordered it and she was horrified, but I talked her into at

133
00:12:52.559 --> 00:12:56.919
least trying it because we're already here, right. She ate it, and

134
00:12:56.240 --> 00:13:05.639
she loved it, and she sat
there the rest of the night conflicted because

135
00:13:05.759 --> 00:13:09.600
you know, it's a turtle and
oh my gosh, that was good.

136
00:13:09.879 --> 00:13:13.759
So and uh, you know,
I would argue those are productive turtles.

137
00:13:15.679 --> 00:13:20.639
So there's that. Your father in
law's okay though, right, yes,

138
00:13:20.720 --> 00:13:22.720
he survived the turtle because there was
a twist on the other story, and

139
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:33.080
I just want to make sure that
people knew that there wasn't any who All

140
00:13:33.120 --> 00:13:35.159
right, let me give you run
down with some other stuff we're gonna talk

141
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:39.879
about today. Apparently it's not Friday, so we're gonna have to truck through

142
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:48.039
this thing. Um coming up on
the show we got we Got Fat Hoss.

143
00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.559
It's a story and it's a key
of some crazy thing Kyle sent me

144
00:13:52.639 --> 00:14:01.000
this morning. So we will,
um, we'll touch on that. Where

145
00:14:01.120 --> 00:14:07.080
was this out of was Yancey County? That little h North Carolina Mountain action

146
00:14:07.320 --> 00:14:18.799
a little school issue, so we
will we'll get into that. UMU the

147
00:14:18.320 --> 00:14:22.120
LA Time story, I said it
might be a problem. And uh,

148
00:14:22.480 --> 00:14:30.399
Tim scottson Tim Scott, Senator Tim
Scott, it's thrown his name in on

149
00:14:30.639 --> 00:14:41.919
the presidential race, and um,
the Washington Post is already curious. Wait

150
00:14:41.000 --> 00:14:48.159
did you see the question, the
Washington Post asked Tim Scott. Oh,

151
00:14:48.279 --> 00:14:54.279
yeah, just and of course they
they even had to put out like they

152
00:14:54.360 --> 00:14:58.559
had to justify why they asked it, because it was it was of such

153
00:14:58.200 --> 00:15:05.360
insane importance. It had to be
asked of a just a sitting US senator

154
00:15:07.240 --> 00:15:11.120
who's not embroiled in a scandal,
right they maybe if they're embroiled in a

155
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:22.159
scandal, would you ask a question
about their personal sex life or MTVS doing

156
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:24.639
a weird rock to vote thing in
boxers or briefs, because that's a famous

157
00:15:24.679 --> 00:15:31.440
thing that happened, but disrespect right
out the gate. And I think it's

158
00:15:31.480 --> 00:15:39.960
going to be ugly because you remember
there are from political cartoonists such as the

159
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:46.519
ones who drew our own lieutenant governor
as a member of the clan to you

160
00:15:46.600 --> 00:15:52.000
know, these highbrow editorial writers.
The the amount of racism that they're going

161
00:15:52.039 --> 00:15:58.200
to be willing to throw Tim Scott's
way because he happens to be a Republican,

162
00:16:00.320 --> 00:16:07.200
Uh is going to it's gonna be
insane to behold with him being a

163
00:16:07.360 --> 00:16:11.879
presidential candidate. Uh, They're they're
they're gonna be willing to go on that

164
00:16:11.960 --> 00:16:15.919
warpath and they're getting they're also and
if they're not gonna say it themselves,

165
00:16:15.000 --> 00:16:22.080
then they're gonna let Al Sharpton come
in. And or what's that that lunatic

166
00:16:22.240 --> 00:16:29.039
congressman who's who likes to scream at
other members of Congress outside the bowman,

167
00:16:29.279 --> 00:16:34.480
that guy, they'll let him come
in and serve that up. But yeah,

168
00:16:36.159 --> 00:16:40.320
that's a thing. So we'll touch
on that and a few others right

169
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:52.320
now. Twenty eight. Your news
is next Hang on one six one FM

170
00:16:52.440 --> 00:16:56.799
Talk and nine four five w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk.

171
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:07.319
This is Casey O Day and Carolina's
Morning News. All right, good

172
00:17:07.359 --> 00:17:11.720
morning, it is six thirty five
here on the case O Day radio program.

173
00:17:12.359 --> 00:17:19.839
You have no power. Yeah,
oh oh sorry, it's just accidentally

174
00:17:21.640 --> 00:17:26.079
click that. And um, now
I know exactly why it's there. Uh

175
00:17:26.279 --> 00:17:30.000
any who was trying to move it? But um, there was a story.

176
00:17:33.000 --> 00:17:37.200
Let me set this up differently.
Doesn't have any ducks. Okay.

177
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:45.640
One of the things that I think
is really just the height of audacity that

178
00:17:45.799 --> 00:18:00.680
I see amongst the um the the
woke leadership is this failure to wreck ignize

179
00:18:00.799 --> 00:18:08.400
the hypocrisy of simultaneously criticizing like Reagan. Let's go back to Reagan. Right,

180
00:18:08.759 --> 00:18:11.640
Reagan was a monster, Right,
if you're if you're a big moon

181
00:18:11.720 --> 00:18:15.160
bat. Reagan was a monster.
He'd tried to trash the economy, and

182
00:18:15.240 --> 00:18:21.519
he ran around and he tried to
force American ideals on people who didn't want

183
00:18:21.519 --> 00:18:26.119
anything to do with it. And
Nicaragua and the Sandinistas and I ran Contra

184
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:33.240
and all of this stuff. Wow, simultaneously being all aboard this idea that

185
00:18:34.759 --> 00:18:41.039
we're going to send members of our
state Department to various countries and if they

186
00:18:41.160 --> 00:18:48.119
don't get aboard the diversity, equity
or inclusion bandwagon. Generally, we don't

187
00:18:48.160 --> 00:18:52.960
do this to Muslim countries within this
administration, which is strange because but like

188
00:18:52.359 --> 00:18:57.519
parts of Africa and various others where
it's like, we're going to send a

189
00:18:57.599 --> 00:19:07.359
bunch of money for what was the
one they just did. It was about

190
00:19:07.440 --> 00:19:11.519
creating a program in a country that
super served gay members of society. The

191
00:19:11.640 --> 00:19:18.640
problem is is you're in a country
where there are very real world and often

192
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:22.680
deadly ramifications for that, and you
can be you can be not okay with

193
00:19:22.799 --> 00:19:29.200
that, you can feel that you're
you're dealing with people who are unenlightened and

194
00:19:29.839 --> 00:19:34.440
people who are monstrous in some instances. And I wouldn't necessarily disagree with you

195
00:19:36.200 --> 00:19:41.160
subjugating women, targeting people for their
sexuality, targeting people for their race,

196
00:19:41.400 --> 00:19:47.240
for extermination. We're all on board. This is bad stuff, or simply

197
00:19:47.440 --> 00:19:52.079
enslaving them and forcing them to make
stuff, and then NBA players go on

198
00:19:52.200 --> 00:19:55.440
and give them a thumbs up,
looking at you China and the Weakers.

199
00:19:59.359 --> 00:20:03.559
But then there's the part where you
also want to be culturally disruptive, like

200
00:20:03.759 --> 00:20:12.920
demanding that people within the Spanish speaking
communities adopt latinis which ninety nine percent don't

201
00:20:14.000 --> 00:20:19.000
want anything to do with, while
failing to recognize that the entire language is

202
00:20:19.119 --> 00:20:26.880
gendered, and how the hell are
you going to deal with that? Or

203
00:20:26.559 --> 00:20:33.359
doing what I saw the La Times
doing and then attacking people who have thoughts

204
00:20:33.480 --> 00:20:37.839
about what may play out. All
right, Ross, this wasn't in the

205
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:41.160
stacks. You haven't seen this story, but let me forward it to you

206
00:20:41.240 --> 00:20:44.319
so you can at least tweet it
out if people want to see it,

207
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.759
because cat's already out of the bag. Sorry, I should afford this before

208
00:20:48.799 --> 00:20:52.599
the break, all right. And
there's two stories, but I'm just going

209
00:20:52.640 --> 00:20:59.880
to send you the one. All
right, This is the this is the

210
00:21:00.680 --> 00:21:07.519
La Time story quote at Mexico's gay
cowboy conventions, men connect with each other

211
00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:12.960
and their country's rugged past. All
right. So and then they got where's

212
00:21:12.960 --> 00:21:21.880
the slug line here? Zacha techas, Zacha tecas, mispronouncing that probably Mexico.

213
00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:30.319
And it is a convention of gay
vaccaro Vicarro is Spanish for cowboy,

214
00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.960
and you know it's they're in a
this particular portion. It's a discotheq,

215
00:21:38.200 --> 00:21:45.799
which are very very popular in Latin
America, and they're parting the night away,

216
00:21:45.799 --> 00:21:48.240
except it's a bunch of dudes and
they're talking about how they gather and

217
00:21:48.400 --> 00:21:55.519
make these pilgrimages and go to these
various conventions in Mexico, and they're highlighting

218
00:21:55.599 --> 00:22:00.319
it. And if as you go
through the story, you realize there's a

219
00:22:00.400 --> 00:22:06.240
few people that are using their name, but there's a lot who are not,

220
00:22:06.480 --> 00:22:11.799
and there's a lot who don't want
their picture up there, why do

221
00:22:11.839 --> 00:22:15.359
you think that is? And there's
a few that are using in this other

222
00:22:15.440 --> 00:22:19.640
story that are using pseudonyms, including
Ross and this is my favorite one.

223
00:22:19.759 --> 00:22:26.279
Tell me what you think. It's
a play on Rooster Cogburn's character where they've

224
00:22:26.480 --> 00:22:33.720
slightly altered the last name. And
I gotta tell you that seems incredibly appropriate.

225
00:22:33.720 --> 00:22:37.279
If you're wanting to come up with
something that shocks along those lines.

226
00:22:37.640 --> 00:22:41.359
That was a real easy name to
manipulate. And I'll let you guess how

227
00:22:41.359 --> 00:22:45.079
they did it. And I'm pointing
this out not because I care if a

228
00:22:45.200 --> 00:22:52.359
bunch of Mexican dudes who are gay
get together and have it. It's it's

229
00:22:52.759 --> 00:23:00.559
you're attacking people who point something out, and that is that there's a reason

230
00:23:00.680 --> 00:23:04.039
that people are not wanting to be
on the radar while you're doing this story.

231
00:23:04.160 --> 00:23:08.079
And there's probably a lot of people
who don't like The La Times busting

232
00:23:08.160 --> 00:23:12.119
this wide open. And just so
we're clear too, the La Times,

233
00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:18.599
in addition to their English print,
does a Spanish print and it is widely

234
00:23:18.720 --> 00:23:26.519
distributed and sold on both sides of
the border down there. And if you've

235
00:23:26.559 --> 00:23:32.680
got a bunch of machismo driven cartel
dudes, this is the kind of stuff

236
00:23:33.319 --> 00:23:38.240
where maybe they get it in their
head that that's not okay. Again,

237
00:23:38.920 --> 00:23:44.359
this is simply observations that people are
pointing out, including this where I'm reading

238
00:23:45.319 --> 00:23:49.359
on this other piece about how guys
are like this is bad, they should

239
00:23:49.400 --> 00:23:52.799
not be. The La Times wanted
to do a big feature piece on this,

240
00:23:53.079 --> 00:23:57.440
and they may end up doing more
harm than good. And then immediately

241
00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:07.799
I see in the comments people who
don't live in Mexico who, frankly,

242
00:24:07.119 --> 00:24:12.839
um, I'm not even sure that
they have any experience with Mexican culture,

243
00:24:14.680 --> 00:24:22.359
especially culture that is sadly intertwined with
insane, violent people who are criticizing and

244
00:24:22.559 --> 00:24:33.680
calling homophobic those who may point this
out. And that's the height of audacity,

245
00:24:33.720 --> 00:24:37.960
because now we're two layers in right, they're not saying that they have

246
00:24:38.000 --> 00:24:44.880
a problem with it, They're simply
saying that. And then they were given

247
00:24:44.960 --> 00:24:52.440
examples where cartels have literally shot up
gay nightclubs down in uh in Mexico,

248
00:24:53.920 --> 00:24:57.440
and it's it's senseless, like like
like most things are down there, and

249
00:24:59.599 --> 00:25:04.400
it it very well may stem from
their favorite term of toxic masculinity or homophobia,

250
00:25:08.839 --> 00:25:14.160
like that may be exactly what it
is you're accusing everybody of on the

251
00:25:14.279 --> 00:25:18.680
regular. So I saw it,
but then I saw the interact and I

252
00:25:18.799 --> 00:25:21.960
had that thought initially, but then
I saw the interactions, and I'm like,

253
00:25:22.960 --> 00:25:27.079
who, what are you lecturing?
People who literally lived there or people

254
00:25:27.119 --> 00:25:32.880
within the within the community who obviously
didn't want their name out there or their

255
00:25:32.920 --> 00:25:40.160
photo. But man, that's how
we roll. That's um from a state

256
00:25:40.200 --> 00:25:45.759
department to our media to whatever.
And this is the very same media that,

257
00:25:45.920 --> 00:25:53.440
upon learning that Tim Scott was running
for president, decided there was an

258
00:25:53.440 --> 00:25:56.880
important question they needed to ask Tim
Scott. Now, Tim Scott is not

259
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:02.640
married, but Tim Scott is a
Republican, So what do you think?

260
00:26:02.680 --> 00:26:11.039
The Washington Post felt was a needed
piece of information about Tim Scott as he

261
00:26:11.160 --> 00:26:15.880
heads out on the campaign trail.
They asked him if he was a virgin,

262
00:26:19.599 --> 00:26:25.799
because again, everyone is so obsessed
with who's doing what with whom behind

263
00:26:25.880 --> 00:26:30.039
closed doors and sometimes not behind closed
doors, that they felt that Tim Scott

264
00:26:30.160 --> 00:26:44.160
needed asked about his sexual prowess.
Now, part of this is the author

265
00:26:44.200 --> 00:26:48.400
of the article, it's reporter Ben
Terris, is also hawk in a book,

266
00:26:49.160 --> 00:26:56.559
so he's putting this out as a
bit of a teaser. What's the

267
00:26:56.640 --> 00:26:59.359
name of the book? The Big
Break? The Gamblers, Party, Animals

268
00:26:59.400 --> 00:27:07.119
and Trooper Levers trying to win in
Washington while America loses its mind. Tim

269
00:27:07.240 --> 00:27:11.519
Scott is the first presidential candidate I've
ever asked about the status of his virginity.

270
00:27:15.680 --> 00:27:18.839
And Scott basically said, I'm not
talking about this with you, which

271
00:27:18.960 --> 00:27:29.839
is the right answer. But who
the hell asked that? I don't do

272
00:27:29.920 --> 00:27:34.559
you need to know somebody's body count
you're voting for. And Scott's thing is

273
00:27:34.799 --> 00:27:37.839
and and this this comes full circle
with the other story I just talked about.

274
00:27:38.880 --> 00:27:42.240
The reporters thing is that the reason
he asked him Scott is because Tim

275
00:27:42.319 --> 00:27:48.400
Scott has been an advocate for sex
head including abstinence, as you know,

276
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:59.519
something that's talked about and ironically this
generation is apparently, you know, the

277
00:27:59.599 --> 00:28:03.400
kids in high school, in college
from the from the various studies that I've

278
00:28:03.400 --> 00:28:07.880
seen, are actually having less sex, so more are actually choosing abstinence.

279
00:28:08.559 --> 00:28:12.200
So having that as part of the
conversation, it's the let's see if we

280
00:28:12.279 --> 00:28:18.839
can get them on a hypocritical thing
or whether it being disingenuous. That's the

281
00:28:18.960 --> 00:28:25.039
reason for it. It's a gotcha
question about somebody's sex life, and it's

282
00:28:25.119 --> 00:28:30.119
not one that you see generally thrown
in the other direction. Remember you're asking

283
00:28:30.200 --> 00:28:41.440
Bill Clinton about his total intern tally
board. But if the reporters like Ben

284
00:28:41.640 --> 00:28:45.240
Terris and others are so wanting to
sniff out what they feel is hypocrisy,

285
00:28:48.079 --> 00:28:53.599
that's fine in the sense that there
is a lot of hypocrisy and especially hypocrisy

286
00:28:53.720 --> 00:29:02.200
that goes hand in hand with just
everyday politics in Washington, right like when

287
00:29:02.200 --> 00:29:06.799
they were running rough shot over the
fact that people were daring to ask critical

288
00:29:06.920 --> 00:29:12.960
questions, albeit questions about judicial record
of our newest Supreme Court justice. Yet

289
00:29:14.720 --> 00:29:18.200
didn't give a crap about how back
in the day when Bush was trying to

290
00:29:18.279 --> 00:29:22.680
fast track at California Justice, who
was a black woman who happened to be

291
00:29:22.759 --> 00:29:30.119
conservative to the DC circuit to position
her for Supreme Court nomination. There's there's

292
00:29:30.279 --> 00:29:36.079
literal documentation of memos that went back
and forth with Democrats saying that she needs

293
00:29:36.119 --> 00:29:37.839
to be blocked, and the reason
was it's because she was a black woman

294
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:41.400
and they were going to be damned
if Republicans would be the ones to get

295
00:29:41.440 --> 00:29:45.559
a black woman on the Supreme Court
before them. Same thing happened with what

296
00:29:45.720 --> 00:29:57.079
was his name, Miguel Astrada anyway, sixty seven. I know that's a

297
00:29:57.200 --> 00:30:03.559
lot for an early Tuesday morning first
hour of the show, but I just

298
00:30:03.680 --> 00:30:07.799
had some thoughts. Okay. Meanwhile, while I'm having thoughts and throwing those

299
00:30:07.839 --> 00:30:15.440
stories out, others are spending their
time ruminating about the sexuality and trans status

300
00:30:15.559 --> 00:30:21.839
of video game characters. That insanity's
in the stack. We'll get to that,

301
00:30:22.119 --> 00:30:29.680
and we'll introduce you to a wonderful
Antifa which librarian who's not happy.

302
00:30:30.440 --> 00:30:33.799
So all that and more coming away. Case O Day Radio program show.

303
00:30:34.000 --> 00:30:38.200
After the show is on the iHeart
radio app. Searchs case O Day for

304
00:30:38.359 --> 00:30:45.079
the podcast on the iHeart radio app. All right, welcome back. It

305
00:30:45.240 --> 00:30:49.400
is a six fifty four and in
the world of dumb arguments that apparently need

306
00:30:49.480 --> 00:30:55.640
to play out online and everyone has
their feelings. Hurt I present to you

307
00:30:55.799 --> 00:31:06.319
the latest. How many of you
are familiar with legend of Zelda and all

308
00:31:06.359 --> 00:31:10.000
the different iterations of it when obviously
ross that's right in our wheel on too.

309
00:31:10.039 --> 00:31:11.480
I just recently played that on the
Hayese for Shriff twitch channel. You

310
00:31:11.519 --> 00:31:15.839
can also check out the recording on
the Hayese for Shriff YouTube channel. You

311
00:31:15.920 --> 00:31:18.480
played the original, you play,
Yeah, and we played some old Nest

312
00:31:18.519 --> 00:31:21.240
games and we did play some of
it, and yeah, that's a classic,

313
00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:22.279
dude back in the day, and
it was golden. Remember the case

314
00:31:22.400 --> 00:31:26.799
was yes, yes, so it
was super special when you were blowing on

315
00:31:26.880 --> 00:31:30.119
that cartridge. I'm blowing on gold
and it was back in the day.

316
00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:33.440
You could save that game, which
was like revolutionary at the time for console,

317
00:31:33.599 --> 00:31:36.640
like, oh my god, I
can because other games he would put

318
00:31:36.680 --> 00:31:38.279
in, like say Nincha Guiden and
you would just have to keep it on

319
00:31:38.440 --> 00:31:45.680
and pause. It would murder you
in five second, right, but Zelda

320
00:31:45.799 --> 00:31:48.039
you could. You could You could
save it and go back to your game

321
00:31:49.240 --> 00:31:52.480
and then, uh, what's the
what's the one that they just released,

322
00:31:52.559 --> 00:31:57.200
which was the not just released but
the latest right, because they've taken the

323
00:31:57.279 --> 00:32:04.559
game and they've they've now taking it
into the latest era and no longer obviously

324
00:32:04.640 --> 00:32:07.680
does it look like the old game. It's so much more, you know,

325
00:32:07.720 --> 00:32:10.079
it's like more open world and uh, obviously three you know, it's

326
00:32:10.119 --> 00:32:15.039
like a first person game but third
person. Yeah, and some people don't

327
00:32:15.079 --> 00:32:19.160
like it that I like Zelda,
and that's fine, right right, they

328
00:32:19.240 --> 00:32:21.839
like they like the original, but
they don't like what happened, and I

329
00:32:21.920 --> 00:32:27.000
don't think it's for any weird political
reasons. However, then as some sort

330
00:32:27.039 --> 00:32:32.279
of stupid debate broke out and now
people are wanting to um, they're wanting

331
00:32:32.359 --> 00:32:38.400
Nintendo to recognize that Link. If
you don't know the game, Link is

332
00:32:38.799 --> 00:32:47.680
the big character there, um is
the protagonist is also trans and gay or

333
00:32:47.799 --> 00:32:53.240
something. What are they even talking
about? They say Link is a gay

334
00:32:53.440 --> 00:32:59.839
icon. It is. It's very
apparent. Everybody knows it. I played

335
00:33:00.119 --> 00:33:02.599
a crap ton of this game.
I haven't played the newest, the new

336
00:33:02.680 --> 00:33:06.599
one, but obviously the Back of
the Day and then what was the fill

337
00:33:06.599 --> 00:33:08.519
I can't remember the name of the
follow up one, but the Adventures of

338
00:33:08.640 --> 00:33:14.640
Link. Adventures of Link which which
I did play a little of. Just

339
00:33:14.799 --> 00:33:16.240
do not You're like, this game
is crap. I'm not playing it again

340
00:33:16.559 --> 00:33:21.599
exactly. But it wasn't crap because
he spent his whole time at gay bars.

341
00:33:21.680 --> 00:33:24.680
That wasn't like, that wasn't the
adventure. Um, it was just

342
00:33:25.079 --> 00:33:30.559
obviously it didn't. It was It
felt cheap, money grabby, but it's

343
00:33:30.640 --> 00:33:34.160
like, this is what we're doing
now, We're going through and and and

344
00:33:34.319 --> 00:33:37.880
of all the old school a nesque
characters for you to latch onto as the

345
00:33:38.079 --> 00:33:45.960
gay icon, it's Link. I
think Mike Tyson's Punch had a couple of

346
00:33:45.000 --> 00:33:49.920
those fighters old Little Mac had to
tangle with like that would feel more.

347
00:33:50.359 --> 00:33:52.920
Was always very obvious that Little Mac
was in fact homosexual, and the whole

348
00:33:53.000 --> 00:33:57.799
game is really overtaken the patriarchy.
That's the whole point of the game.

349
00:33:58.279 --> 00:34:01.279
Everyone knows. Everybody says it.
Oh well, And then they were trying

350
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:08.119
to talk about how he m he
also he also hates religion or whatever,

351
00:34:08.159 --> 00:34:13.280
and then people are posting screenshots where
there's a seat there's a cut scene where

352
00:34:13.320 --> 00:34:16.000
Link is literally kneeling in front of
a Christian cross, and then people are

353
00:34:16.000 --> 00:34:21.719
getting mad about that and it's like
what people just debate games anymore. I

354
00:34:21.800 --> 00:34:23.639
love how Nintendo's like they're like,
well, Nintendo never said yes or no,

355
00:34:23.800 --> 00:34:25.760
so obviously that's an answer. Well, maybe they don't want to get

356
00:34:25.800 --> 00:34:30.400
like, you know, bobbed down, willis Wolf no sense. Maybe they're

357
00:34:30.440 --> 00:34:35.480
familiar with the fact that bud Light's
new earning numbers are out and guess what

358
00:34:37.119 --> 00:34:43.199
that's continuing to be a problem for
them. Ah, well, the Internet's

359
00:34:43.239 --> 00:35:12.079
gonna Internet. We'll keep up.
News is next? All right, good

360
00:35:12.119 --> 00:35:15.159
morning everybody. It is seven oh
six here on the kingc o Day Radio

361
00:35:15.519 --> 00:35:22.679
program, our number two. And
as you wake up this morning, I

362
00:35:22.840 --> 00:35:28.800
just want you to know you're under
a state of emergency. Oh yeah,

363
00:35:30.400 --> 00:35:37.840
a Governor Roy Cooper state of emergency, except not a real one, so

364
00:35:38.199 --> 00:35:45.039
arguably him kind of abusing the term, if you will, But yeah,

365
00:35:46.920 --> 00:35:53.159
do you get you get the feeling
that he's not taken this well the override

366
00:35:53.239 --> 00:36:00.159
majority anybody else getting that vibe because
he's been he's been a little tantra me

367
00:36:01.000 --> 00:36:06.760
And it's interesting because you know,
part of it is natural when you get

368
00:36:06.760 --> 00:36:09.159
to the end of a limited term
like that, like you know, what

369
00:36:09.239 --> 00:36:13.639
do you do next? Kind of
thing. And he's in a position right

370
00:36:13.719 --> 00:36:20.119
now where the protectionism of Joe Biden
up in the upper echelons is significant enough

371
00:36:20.760 --> 00:36:27.079
that he can't just parlay this into
perhaps a presidential run, even if it's

372
00:36:27.159 --> 00:36:30.119
just to try to get into place
where he might be selected as a VP

373
00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:39.440
or cabinet member. Right. So, once you've lost the ability to just

374
00:36:39.559 --> 00:36:45.400
go out and veto literally everything that's
sent to you, and of course the

375
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:49.840
media will always position it like,
oh, look, he's just trying to

376
00:36:49.880 --> 00:36:55.559
fight the good fight. These monsters
refuse to negotiate with him, even though

377
00:36:55.599 --> 00:37:05.199
those monsters gave him his Medicaid expansion. When when you start feeling like a

378
00:37:05.320 --> 00:37:09.320
lame duck, you got to do
something. So what does what does Cooper

379
00:37:09.400 --> 00:37:15.239
decide to do? Well, he's
decided that his cause de jure is going

380
00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:20.400
to be the education cause. The
very same person who decided that his child

381
00:37:20.480 --> 00:37:28.639
should go to private school. He
is going to do everything in his power

382
00:37:28.719 --> 00:37:32.760
to make it as difficult as possible
and is not a non financially practical as

383
00:37:32.840 --> 00:37:38.679
possible for you to avail yourself of
the same option. And I saw people

384
00:37:38.719 --> 00:37:43.280
defending this going, well, it's
not like he used tax dollars to do

385
00:37:43.400 --> 00:37:47.000
it, and those folks are missing
the point that those are not their dollars

386
00:37:47.119 --> 00:37:55.280
anyway, Those are the people's dollars. And if we sit here and let's

387
00:37:55.360 --> 00:37:59.880
let's look at this through the lens
of leandrow, right, and I wass

388
00:38:00.280 --> 00:38:04.800
this was the big this is the
people were not arguing this the right way.

389
00:38:05.639 --> 00:38:08.320
Right. So if there is the
court sitting there saying that based on

390
00:38:08.519 --> 00:38:14.920
what's written in the North Carolina Constitution, and school districts are feeling that they're

391
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:20.519
especially rural school districts to the point
where they followed that lawsuit, don't feel

392
00:38:20.559 --> 00:38:27.159
as though they're able to offer this
guarantee of an education in North Carolina's children.

393
00:38:29.760 --> 00:38:31.679
That there's more than one way to
skin a cat, so to speak,

394
00:38:32.920 --> 00:38:36.280
right, because then people will tell
you, well, what it means

395
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:39.360
is they have to just start dumping
copious amounts of money into public education.

396
00:38:40.480 --> 00:38:43.519
And I sit there and I read
it, and I go, but that's

397
00:38:43.559 --> 00:38:46.280
not how I read it. I
look at what is said to be the

398
00:38:46.400 --> 00:38:52.400
goal, and the goal is to
provide an education for children in North Carolina.

399
00:38:52.960 --> 00:38:58.760
And in the same way that advocates
for expansion of public education opportunities like

400
00:38:58.880 --> 00:39:01.519
pre K have argued, well,
look, we're just trying to figure out

401
00:39:01.599 --> 00:39:08.039
what constitutes a good education. Proponents
of school choice should be arguing the same

402
00:39:08.159 --> 00:39:14.400
thing. If that's what we guarantee
and that's what we feel in this and

403
00:39:14.480 --> 00:39:19.679
the judges think that that is something
that is a requirement, then who were

404
00:39:19.719 --> 00:39:23.400
you to define what the definition is. Shouldn't the outcome be the definition?

405
00:39:27.079 --> 00:39:29.840
And there are studies in Florida,
there are studies in the state of New

406
00:39:29.920 --> 00:39:37.599
York, just to show you politically
how it runs the gamut about very positive

407
00:39:37.679 --> 00:39:43.679
outcomes with the expansion of school choice, and not just for the private schools

408
00:39:43.800 --> 00:39:49.760
or charter schools that spring up.
The number of schools increases the quality of

409
00:39:49.920 --> 00:39:55.000
education even in the public setting.
In I have to pull the numbers up.

410
00:39:55.079 --> 00:40:00.039
They had out of thirty two districts
where they studied this third No.

411
00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:07.440
Twenty nine showed a marked increase in
the education quality within the traditional public portion

412
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:13.719
of it. Now, why do
you think that is? I think it

413
00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:17.880
largely has to do with competition.
And look, if people want to have

414
00:40:19.000 --> 00:40:22.800
concerned I had this ross, did
you catch any of that? That back

415
00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:25.000
and forth I went with some woman
on Twitter about this. I thought it

416
00:40:25.039 --> 00:40:37.079
was a respectful discussion, but there
was a complete willingness to ignore the power

417
00:40:37.199 --> 00:40:42.679
of market forces. Right, So
she her scenario was, well, what

418
00:40:42.719 --> 00:40:45.320
would happen as a private school would
be there, except it's just a money

419
00:40:45.360 --> 00:40:52.880
funneling operation for whoever the top people
are there. The administrators and parents would

420
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:55.079
be duped into bringing their kids there, and then they would just they wouldn't

421
00:40:55.159 --> 00:41:00.199
use the money to educate kids,
so they'd be all dumb and the people

422
00:41:00.239 --> 00:41:02.760
at the top would take all the
money. Well, one, you just

423
00:41:02.880 --> 00:41:08.239
describe the scenario with the expansion of
the administrative part of public schools, that

424
00:41:08.400 --> 00:41:14.519
concerns people. Why do we need
nine vice principles? Why are there all

425
00:41:14.559 --> 00:41:16.719
these people who really aren't in the
job of, you know, on the

426
00:41:16.840 --> 00:41:22.400
ground educating kids that have become this
huge line item in budgets. But with

427
00:41:22.599 --> 00:41:29.800
that said, if if Ross,
let's say that you decided you were going

428
00:41:29.840 --> 00:41:37.039
to avail yourself of an alternative education
for Lincoln, right you guys, do

429
00:41:37.280 --> 00:41:39.960
you guys do your homework. You
decide that this is an opportunity because of

430
00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:45.159
the school choice, the money makes
sense now, and you put your kid

431
00:41:45.280 --> 00:41:49.920
there and you know, within a
few months you determine that your kids just

432
00:41:50.039 --> 00:41:55.920
going there and watching movies and eating
blue right or not learning anything. What

433
00:41:57.119 --> 00:42:00.800
is your reaction at that point as
a parent if it was only a private

434
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:02.840
school, Yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd probably find another private school,

435
00:42:04.199 --> 00:42:09.880
right, absolutely. So you know
there's this idea that parents are just gonna

436
00:42:09.920 --> 00:42:15.519
sit there and allow themselves to be
taken advantage of. But now, if

437
00:42:15.599 --> 00:42:19.199
you have a private school, you
have charter schools, you have schools that,

438
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:22.000
yes might be parochial, but whatever
it is, and you're a parent,

439
00:42:22.119 --> 00:42:29.800
you have options out there. It's
going to be on the schools who

440
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:37.960
want to attract your kid to provide
a quality product, because it's not a

441
00:42:37.039 --> 00:42:43.880
cheap product. We're talking about thousands
and thousands and thousands of dollars annually.

442
00:42:44.599 --> 00:42:50.039
Top tier is what like sixties seven
hundred or something in that bill. I

443
00:42:50.159 --> 00:42:52.880
still I don't like the sliding scale
nature of it, but you know,

444
00:42:52.960 --> 00:42:58.320
we got to start somewhere. So
parents are gonna look at that, and

445
00:42:58.800 --> 00:43:01.360
in places where there's saying, well, look, the only school option in

446
00:43:01.440 --> 00:43:07.840
this rural county is the public schools, so you know they're not okay.

447
00:43:09.480 --> 00:43:15.760
So there continues to be the same
and you're not losing kids from that district.

448
00:43:15.440 --> 00:43:19.920
And if a private school does pop
up, because this is what happens

449
00:43:21.360 --> 00:43:24.760
when you have this expansion of choice, it's not just the to use this

450
00:43:24.960 --> 00:43:30.719
example, it's not just the public
schools and Ravenscroft right, which I guess

451
00:43:30.760 --> 00:43:34.480
if you don't live in the triangle
and you're in the triad, is just

452
00:43:34.599 --> 00:43:43.039
a really expensive private school. There's
other things that pop up to fill in

453
00:43:43.119 --> 00:43:49.639
that middle, especially when schools are
able to determine how many dollars might be

454
00:43:49.719 --> 00:43:52.800
available per pupil. If they can
put a thing on paper where it works,

455
00:43:52.920 --> 00:43:59.559
and they feel that their educational ideology
will be attractive to parents and the

456
00:44:00.000 --> 00:44:05.400
amount will be able to work because
they think they can make it work,

457
00:44:06.880 --> 00:44:09.880
then you're going to have those educational
opportunities where people want to get in there.

458
00:44:10.000 --> 00:44:15.880
And in some cases you'll get members
of the community that ban together to

459
00:44:15.159 --> 00:44:24.000
create their own privatized schools, their
own separate things in you see it not

460
00:44:24.199 --> 00:44:30.039
just in private education. You see
it in public education right where we have

461
00:44:30.159 --> 00:44:34.679
districts in North Carolina, Chapelhill'll be
a good example. Chapelhill, Carborough,

462
00:44:34.719 --> 00:44:39.079
which are separate from their county entities, which is unusual. But you'll see

463
00:44:39.119 --> 00:44:45.679
community schools which aren't, you know, necessarily parochial in nature, right,

464
00:44:45.760 --> 00:44:49.840
they're not. They're just another alternative
where parents thought, you know what,

465
00:44:49.960 --> 00:44:55.079
maybe we can do a better job, and so they put it together and

466
00:44:55.280 --> 00:44:59.079
they sit on the boards, and
they do the volunteer stuff, and they

467
00:45:00.360 --> 00:45:01.679
they do a lot of the same
things that they do in the in the

468
00:45:01.960 --> 00:45:07.159
in the public school setting, except
they're able to do it in a way

469
00:45:07.360 --> 00:45:15.039
that is arguably even more ingrained within
their community. It's how education worked in

470
00:45:15.119 --> 00:45:23.159
this country for most of its history. You'd have these areas where people would

471
00:45:23.159 --> 00:45:30.280
start to settle. They'd be rural
areas in somewhere, one room schoolhouse would

472
00:45:30.320 --> 00:45:34.360
pop up, and then as the
community grew, that would expand, or

473
00:45:34.440 --> 00:45:37.199
more of them would pop up.
The one room schoolhouse my grandmother went to.

474
00:45:37.480 --> 00:45:42.280
I used to drive by it every
day, still sitting there. It's

475
00:45:42.320 --> 00:45:46.840
not occupy. It's got a little
historical thing in front of it, and

476
00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:53.760
she and she and her sisters would
literally wagon it over there. At first

477
00:45:58.199 --> 00:46:01.679
they did have an old car.
As she got later in there, and

478
00:46:02.320 --> 00:46:07.239
that's what that's what they would do. So this is all going on.

479
00:46:07.440 --> 00:46:10.519
The governor really can't do anything to
stop it, and so I guess he's

480
00:46:10.599 --> 00:46:15.239
decided he's all in on this,
never mind the hypocritical nature of seizing that

481
00:46:15.360 --> 00:46:22.480
opportunity for himself. If people are
not in the socioeconomic place that he is,

482
00:46:22.880 --> 00:46:30.239
many are barred from that opportunity.
I am seriously so tired of people

483
00:46:30.880 --> 00:46:34.760
that have had their kids in private
school, that have never experienced public school.

484
00:46:35.239 --> 00:46:37.559
They've never had their kids in it. They don't know what the average

485
00:46:37.599 --> 00:46:39.719
person is dealing with. Lecturing people
on why they can't go to a private

486
00:46:39.760 --> 00:46:43.719
school and the reason they to want
you to because if more people do,

487
00:46:43.800 --> 00:46:46.000
then suddenly your kid isn't getting the
education that they were before because it was

488
00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:52.599
so exclusive and elite. Well that's
the other argument to make. Well,

489
00:46:52.639 --> 00:46:54.360
they don't have to take the kids, they don't have to take kids,

490
00:46:55.519 --> 00:47:01.960
which is true kind of. But
also there's the part where one you expand

491
00:47:02.119 --> 00:47:08.039
options. It's not just because there's
limited slots, right, if there is,

492
00:47:08.280 --> 00:47:14.320
like any other commodity, and you
know, people don't like to think

493
00:47:14.360 --> 00:47:19.920
of education as a commodity, but
it is if there is, If there

494
00:47:19.960 --> 00:47:22.880
are people wanting it and are willing
who are willing to pay for it.

495
00:47:25.159 --> 00:47:34.840
Then that business will pop up and
and challenge what's out there. We think

496
00:47:34.920 --> 00:47:38.679
we have a better widget. Let's
let's take it to market. And that

497
00:47:38.880 --> 00:47:44.000
force is everyone that they're competing with. And this is why you see improvement

498
00:47:44.119 --> 00:47:47.800
in public education settings in many of
these, uh, these various places they've

499
00:47:47.840 --> 00:47:52.280
studied, is because they do have
to step up, they do have to

500
00:47:52.360 --> 00:47:58.159
improve it. And it's not always
a win. There's some where it just

501
00:47:58.360 --> 00:48:05.360
it didn't work. It didn't work
because of a lot of the concerns people

502
00:48:05.440 --> 00:48:09.119
have. But the difference is because
of those concerns where somebody had created something

503
00:48:09.280 --> 00:48:14.840
where they had no intention of putting
together a good education and it was just

504
00:48:15.000 --> 00:48:20.559
an attempt to a cash grab.
They were quickly found out and the parents

505
00:48:20.599 --> 00:48:23.920
didn't want their kids that's in that
educational setting. And it didn't go well,

506
00:48:24.039 --> 00:48:28.400
and in some cases crimes were committed
and people were prosecuted because they were

507
00:48:28.400 --> 00:48:35.440
embezzling. So in that sense,
the system did what the system is supposed

508
00:48:35.480 --> 00:48:38.079
to do. But instead our governor
gets up and declares a fake state of

509
00:48:38.119 --> 00:48:43.239
emergency because he's a lame duck and
he's feeling like nobody's listening to him.

510
00:48:43.360 --> 00:48:49.239
Pour your tax money into private schools
that are unaccountable to the public and can

511
00:48:49.320 --> 00:48:52.880
decide which students they want to keep
out. And I just explain why they're

512
00:48:52.880 --> 00:49:00.239
not unaccountable because parents are the consumers
with their kids and they will make choices

513
00:49:00.360 --> 00:49:06.239
based on that. And you want
to talk about unaccountability. Why is the

514
00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:09.800
cost per pupil rising so much in
the state of North Carolina. Teachers make

515
00:49:10.039 --> 00:49:17.599
less when you convert, and the
educational quality and testing goes down. Does

516
00:49:17.639 --> 00:49:23.239
that sound like accountability. They want
to expand private school vouchers so that anyone,

517
00:49:23.480 --> 00:49:30.280
even a millionaire, can get taxpayer
money for their children's private academy tuition.

518
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:37.320
Not the taxpayers money arguably more the
millionaire's money than almost anybody else because

519
00:49:37.360 --> 00:49:40.679
of a progressive tax system. How
about me, I can't draw any dollars

520
00:49:40.719 --> 00:49:46.320
out any money that is extracted from
me that is then dedicated for the purpose

521
00:49:46.360 --> 00:49:50.719
of public education in North Carolina.
I will not draw a voucher from because

522
00:49:50.719 --> 00:49:54.920
I don't have any kids. So
that's a leg up in and of itself.

523
00:49:55.960 --> 00:50:01.760
When kids leave public schools for private
school the public schools lose hundreds of

524
00:50:01.840 --> 00:50:07.920
millions of dollars, right, and
they have. They have also lessened costs

525
00:50:07.960 --> 00:50:13.360
associated with having to run those schools. You don't need as many classrooms,

526
00:50:13.960 --> 00:50:19.559
you don't need as many teachers,
you don't need as much equipment. And

527
00:50:19.760 --> 00:50:23.480
while they hand out private school vouchers
to millionaires, they also want to give

528
00:50:23.559 --> 00:50:30.119
them large tax breaks too. That
was just he's just throwing that in because

529
00:50:30.159 --> 00:50:35.880
that's the standard. This drops an
atomic bomb on public education by shrinking the

530
00:50:36.000 --> 00:50:43.039
state's budget by almost twenty percent.
Public school superintendents are telling me they'll likely

531
00:50:43.119 --> 00:50:47.960
have to cut schools to the bone. Yeah, I bet they who feast

532
00:50:49.079 --> 00:50:52.840
upon that are telling you that we
got lots more from him. Coming up.

533
00:50:52.920 --> 00:51:01.480
CACD radio program hanging all right,
seven twenty eight here on the case

534
00:51:01.639 --> 00:51:06.000
O Day Radio program. Like I
said, we got more from the governor

535
00:51:06.599 --> 00:51:09.880
and his state have always got a
hold. He's got a continued list of

536
00:51:10.559 --> 00:51:16.360
big problems, big problems, the
disaster that awaits and let's just say some

537
00:51:16.480 --> 00:51:21.280
of the concerns that he's going to
expouse. You might find a little bit

538
00:51:22.679 --> 00:51:28.440
hypocritical, but we'll get to the
rest of that audio right after your News

539
00:51:28.920 --> 00:51:38.920
hang on a near decade on the
calendar and celebrating ten years on the air.

540
00:51:39.320 --> 00:51:44.000
This is one oh six one FM
Talk in the Triangle and near's talk

541
00:51:44.079 --> 00:51:52.000
nine four five WPTI in the Triad. All right, so let's continue to

542
00:51:52.880 --> 00:52:00.400
explore this. Governor Roy Cooper ad
himself a little press conference declaring a state

543
00:52:00.440 --> 00:52:06.719
of emergency, but not really but
you know, a political pretend one over

544
00:52:07.239 --> 00:52:10.920
the whole thing, having to do
a school choice. That's right, sends

545
00:52:10.960 --> 00:52:17.440
his kid to private school, unlike
you thinking about doing it unless you're rich

546
00:52:17.679 --> 00:52:24.559
and don't have to actually use the
dollars that you're already kicking in for education

547
00:52:24.760 --> 00:52:31.400
to actually educate your kid. So
we're just going to point by point with

548
00:52:32.039 --> 00:52:36.159
what he laid out at the press
conference. I implore you when I get

549
00:52:36.199 --> 00:52:42.719
into this next cut to try to
find your zen place because I feel like

550
00:52:42.760 --> 00:52:47.199
it's going to make some people angry. There's a little bit of the next

551
00:52:47.239 --> 00:52:58.000
two cuts actually because let's just say, let's just say there is a dump

552
00:52:58.079 --> 00:53:00.920
truck full of hypocrisy attached, and
I think you'll be able to pick up

553
00:53:00.960 --> 00:53:05.760
on it. So this one,
especially you ready, Okay, don't say

554
00:53:05.800 --> 00:53:09.239
I didn't warn, yet not satisfied. Just to starve public education. The

555
00:53:09.360 --> 00:53:15.199
Republicans and the legislature also want to
bring their political culture wars into the classrooms.

556
00:53:15.800 --> 00:53:21.639
Oh oh oh no, so wait
to say, so your can one

557
00:53:21.679 --> 00:53:32.159
of your concerns is the injection of
politics into the classrooms. Huh? Well

558
00:53:32.199 --> 00:53:35.360
you know what. I look,
I don't have a kid in school,

559
00:53:35.880 --> 00:53:39.360
so I don't know, um anybody
out there who does have kids in the

560
00:53:39.639 --> 00:53:45.440
school. Has there ever been an
instance of perhaps politics being injected into the

561
00:53:45.519 --> 00:53:52.760
classroom that you're aware of, or
anybody notice anything out there? I'll let

562
00:53:52.800 --> 00:53:58.119
you think about it. Continue,
mister governor. If they get their way,

563
00:53:58.960 --> 00:54:05.079
our state Board of Education will be
replaced by political hacks who can dictate

564
00:54:05.239 --> 00:54:09.360
what is taught and not taught in
our public schools. Wait. Wait,

565
00:54:09.440 --> 00:54:15.000
what do you do? You mean
the board of Education that is staffed by

566
00:54:15.159 --> 00:54:20.360
political appointees right now? That one? Or is it a new one.

567
00:54:20.639 --> 00:54:25.840
I'm just I'm wondering. North Carolina
schools need rigorous science, reading, and

568
00:54:27.119 --> 00:54:31.159
math classes. Yes they do,
right. I feel like I've had a

569
00:54:31.239 --> 00:54:37.039
lot of parents tell me that,
you know, the core foundational items within

570
00:54:37.079 --> 00:54:45.559
schools, you know, reading,
writing, arithmetic, so yeah, no,

571
00:54:45.800 --> 00:54:49.719
people agree with you. It's it
might be something else though, that

572
00:54:50.159 --> 00:54:53.360
makes them think that maybe you don't
believe that. Not more politicians policing our

573
00:54:53.440 --> 00:55:00.920
children's curriculum with book bands, elimination
of science courses and more. Uh huh

574
00:55:01.159 --> 00:55:06.440
yeah, science call you when you
say science courses, I feel like you're

575
00:55:06.480 --> 00:55:10.400
referring to some of the stuff that
people might see political. Do you do

576
00:55:10.519 --> 00:55:15.280
you think the governor has a good
fix on how this blew up so fast?

577
00:55:16.280 --> 00:55:20.840
Or do you think that Eve,
it's one thing that he's not going

578
00:55:20.880 --> 00:55:24.880
to say it out loud, but
do you think he's just not aware of

579
00:55:25.320 --> 00:55:30.480
how we got to where we are
today and how it ramped up so much

580
00:55:30.199 --> 00:55:36.119
lately? Can anybody think of any
reason why this thing may have been thrown

581
00:55:36.199 --> 00:55:43.119
into high gear and that maybe folks
aren't buying this whole while we just need

582
00:55:43.199 --> 00:55:51.840
schools to teach reading, writing,
rhythmetics, science, rigorous rigorous standards for

583
00:55:51.960 --> 00:56:00.679
that ross, Can you think of
any reason why this may bee uh escalating

584
00:56:00.719 --> 00:56:02.440
as quickly as it is right now? And many, many, many,

585
00:56:02.519 --> 00:56:07.039
many parents are wanting alternatives. I
think, listen, this is the guy

586
00:56:07.119 --> 00:56:09.920
that shut down schools right and had
a state of emergency for seven hundred plus

587
00:56:10.039 --> 00:56:14.119
days and kept kids out of the
classroom. And during that time, what

588
00:56:14.199 --> 00:56:16.000
did we have distance learning? And
then what happened, Well, the parents

589
00:56:16.039 --> 00:56:19.559
sat back and saw the curriculum and
the system and they said, wow,

590
00:56:19.679 --> 00:56:22.880
this is incredibly broken and it's not
what I thought it was. He did

591
00:56:22.960 --> 00:56:29.760
this all to himself. It's one
self inflicted on his part. It's just

592
00:56:29.920 --> 00:56:35.960
bonkers. And to then call this
press conference a quote unquote state of emergency

593
00:56:37.559 --> 00:56:42.679
is right, Like, listen,
the deeply dumb the state legislature legislating is

594
00:56:42.719 --> 00:56:45.760
not an emergency. It's literally how
the system is supposed to work. Just

595
00:56:45.880 --> 00:56:49.000
because you get your way, is
it? Oh my god, Now it's

596
00:56:49.039 --> 00:56:53.599
an emergency. It's for the kids, man, They just they just want

597
00:56:53.679 --> 00:56:58.480
them to learn math. What's the
what's the problem. Oh you mean it's

598
00:56:58.519 --> 00:57:01.320
all that other stuff. People were
studying screenshots and assignments about because they were

599
00:57:01.320 --> 00:57:08.199
finally seeing what their kids were learning. And they were also realizing that while

600
00:57:08.760 --> 00:57:14.159
other schools, private schools out there
were returning to the classroom that public schools

601
00:57:14.559 --> 00:57:17.159
not only didn't want to, but
they were having to watch daily press conferences

602
00:57:17.360 --> 00:57:24.599
of people like Randy Weingarten bemoan the
idea or they had to see a hostage

603
00:57:24.639 --> 00:57:30.280
list, ransom lists? How many? How many different and in what world

604
00:57:30.320 --> 00:57:34.679
did you think this was a good
thing? How many different stories do you

605
00:57:34.800 --> 00:57:38.480
think? Ross do you think we
did during this where some school districts somewhere

606
00:57:38.800 --> 00:57:45.599
beyond California's Chicago, here in North
Carolina, whatever, where there would be

607
00:57:45.679 --> 00:57:51.119
a list there these are what these
are the things that our local school district

608
00:57:51.360 --> 00:57:59.280
or teachers union are whatever administrators field
has to happen before they could reopen schools.

609
00:57:59.320 --> 00:58:02.599
And it wasn't better ventilation. It
was like, we also need more

610
00:58:02.760 --> 00:58:07.679
vacation days, and we need more
money, and we need more of this,

611
00:58:07.079 --> 00:58:10.679
and you know, all the items
that are generally negotiated when contracts are

612
00:58:10.719 --> 00:58:20.159
being put together were then being suddenly
shifted into these demand letters. I don't

613
00:58:20.199 --> 00:58:22.280
know how many of those we did, but I don't know that i'd be

614
00:58:22.320 --> 00:58:28.679
able to count. And people looked
at that while they're literally trying to just

615
00:58:28.800 --> 00:58:34.840
kind of keep everything flowing in their
own households because everything's weird and maybe somebody

616
00:58:34.960 --> 00:58:37.599
lost a job in that house,
or the revenue was lost coming in and

617
00:58:37.880 --> 00:58:40.760
things are expensive or unable to find, and they went, screw you,

618
00:58:40.920 --> 00:58:44.920
this is not the time to demand
this, or my kid doesn't get an

619
00:58:45.039 --> 00:58:46.360
education, right Because you're sitting back
and you're like, well, I'm going

620
00:58:46.400 --> 00:58:51.519
to work every day, I'm proving
the time. I'm not getting extra pay.

621
00:58:51.599 --> 00:58:54.159
I mean, what do you lazy? Before COVID, and we've mentioned

622
00:58:54.199 --> 00:58:58.559
this before in the show, you
had the school system, the teachers that

623
00:58:58.599 --> 00:59:02.320
were like up there were like firefighters
and you know, uh, police and

624
00:59:02.360 --> 00:59:06.440
like, oh my, they're they're
heroes, right, Yet COVID happens,

625
00:59:06.519 --> 00:59:08.599
all this happens, they're not going
into school. The firefighters as a police

626
00:59:08.599 --> 00:59:15.039
department, they're still doing their jobs. They they squandered that trust and it

627
00:59:15.199 --> 00:59:16.960
exposed what was really going on.
I remember sitting there watching some of this

628
00:59:17.079 --> 00:59:21.519
distant stuff, going what is happening
here? What was that you're doing all

629
00:59:21.599 --> 00:59:23.400
day? What was that new term? I learned? What was the day

630
00:59:23.480 --> 00:59:29.320
where your kid goes but you're the
teacher? What are the asynchronous days or

631
00:59:29.360 --> 00:59:32.360
some asynchronous days? I'll like,
what the the first time Ross explained that,

632
00:59:32.639 --> 00:59:35.199
I'm like, come on, yes, so that's the day where we

633
00:59:35.280 --> 00:59:37.960
are the teacher. The teachers are
there. It's just but I but I

634
00:59:38.000 --> 00:59:40.320
also have my job. Like I
have my job, I have to do

635
00:59:40.559 --> 00:59:44.840
right to support my family. But
now I'm also the teacher for this day

636
00:59:44.880 --> 00:59:47.199
because you can't meet over the laptop. It made no absolutely no sense.

637
00:59:47.480 --> 00:59:52.039
Just give them the day off,
all right? Well, hold on,

638
00:59:52.079 --> 00:59:54.920
there's one more cut, one more
cut. So let's get it. And

639
00:59:55.119 --> 01:00:00.760
here is the here's the top or
for all that insanity put together, these

640
01:00:00.920 --> 01:00:07.360
ideas spelled disaster that requires emergency action. The North Carolina, I know,

641
01:00:08.320 --> 01:00:14.480
was built on support for public schools
and we can't let the legislature tear them

642
01:00:14.559 --> 01:00:20.079
down. I'm fighting back and I
need you to do it too. Public

643
01:00:20.159 --> 01:00:25.159
schools can survive this legislative session if
we can limit the damage. But we

644
01:00:25.280 --> 01:00:30.559
all need to pull together to do
it. And how is that, by

645
01:00:30.599 --> 01:00:34.119
the way, how do you think
that's? Because it's not either there's an

646
01:00:34.159 --> 01:00:39.960
election before this legislative session is up. So what is that? Can I

647
01:00:40.039 --> 01:00:44.400
get real dark? I mean,
if one person doesn't show up, they're

648
01:00:44.440 --> 01:00:49.400
not able to override I will.
You're not calling on anybody to do anything,

649
01:00:49.519 --> 01:00:52.920
are you? I don't believe that
he is. But if if others

650
01:00:52.960 --> 01:00:57.400
are allowed to play that game where
all of a sudden, Trump was demanding

651
01:00:57.440 --> 01:01:00.679
they burned the capital down because he
told them to go over and have their

652
01:01:00.760 --> 01:01:07.320
voices heard while simultaneously telling them to, you know, do it legally.

653
01:01:08.199 --> 01:01:13.360
Park gets left out. Am I
allowed to read into that statement? So

654
01:01:13.519 --> 01:01:15.559
now he wants people to protest and
maybe go to school boards and speak their

655
01:01:15.599 --> 01:01:19.280
mind because the last time I knew
we did that, we were labeled domestic

656
01:01:19.400 --> 01:01:23.199
terrorists. Yeah yeah, but you
were you know it was what you were

657
01:01:23.280 --> 01:01:32.199
saying. I mean, that's you
just gotta understand, just gotta read between

658
01:01:32.199 --> 01:01:37.159
the lines. Ross. So anyway, that's the state of the emergency,

659
01:01:37.239 --> 01:01:38.960
which has to be great. If
you're especially living in one of these counties

660
01:01:39.000 --> 01:01:50.039
in North Carolina where you're still waiting
for assistance from for hurricane damages from back

661
01:01:50.079 --> 01:01:53.039
in the day and for whatever reason
that's not getting worked out, you probably

662
01:01:53.079 --> 01:01:57.639
don't want to hear another emergency declaration
until you know you have a roof.

663
01:01:59.199 --> 01:02:01.559
But I digress seven forty six.
You don't have to worry about hurricanes right

664
01:02:01.639 --> 01:02:06.239
now, though. Race age from
the Weather Channel or do they I don't

665
01:02:06.280 --> 01:02:10.440
know. If you're very doom in
bloom yesterday well, I'm gonna say that

666
01:02:10.679 --> 01:02:16.000
is the least likely scenario. However, there might be something. I don't

667
01:02:16.000 --> 01:02:20.440
know if it's going to get Hurricane
Center attention, but it will certainly get

668
01:02:20.480 --> 01:02:24.039
our attention later in the week toward
the upcoming holiday weekend for the beaches.

669
01:02:24.679 --> 01:02:29.119
Right now, low pressure is going
to dive out of the southeast over the

670
01:02:29.199 --> 01:02:31.239
state of Florida, north central Florida
and try to roll north and sit off

671
01:02:31.280 --> 01:02:37.960
the western Atlantic and the coast of
Georgia and North and South Carolina through probably

672
01:02:37.119 --> 01:02:43.440
Saturday and maybe drifting inland, and
that could impact whether even here Triangle try

673
01:02:43.519 --> 01:02:45.840
it as we look ahead toward the
holiday weekend. So at this point that'll

674
01:02:45.880 --> 01:02:47.920
look great, but there's some good
in there too, and that's the next

675
01:02:49.000 --> 01:02:52.679
few days. With partial sunshine Today
and tomorrow will be in the load of

676
01:02:52.719 --> 01:02:55.440
mid seventies. It does stay cool, kcy, but that's the northeast breeze,

677
01:02:55.440 --> 01:02:58.280
and there really isn't gonna be much
rain, if any at all.

678
01:02:58.400 --> 01:03:01.199
Lows will be in the fifties and
even Thursday Friday should be good with more

679
01:03:01.280 --> 01:03:05.480
sunshine by Friday, still in the
load of mid seventies, a little breeze

680
01:03:05.480 --> 01:03:07.480
around though lows will stay in the
fifties. So the good news to the

681
01:03:07.519 --> 01:03:09.400
rest of the week. You save
on a cooling build. I don't have

682
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:13.159
to run the AC. I mean, that's all good stuff, right,

683
01:03:13.280 --> 01:03:15.960
Even driving around you don't run the
air, you don't have the compressor running.

684
01:03:15.960 --> 01:03:20.719
You save on your gas mileage.
I feel like you're being set up

685
01:03:20.920 --> 01:03:25.519
while you are because the weekend at
this point, I'm gonna say, starting

686
01:03:27.079 --> 01:03:30.400
sometime around Saturday, now all this
is going to be said, where especially

687
01:03:30.440 --> 01:03:35.239
as you go east toward the outer
Banks and to the coast of South Carolina

688
01:03:35.280 --> 01:03:37.280
and Georgia, that'll be the better
chance of rain. But starting Saturday will

689
01:03:37.280 --> 01:03:42.599
start to see the threat for showers
get in here. Maybe even some steadier

690
01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:47.039
rain at times through Sunday. Maybe
we squeak out Sunday afternoon and Monday with

691
01:03:47.239 --> 01:03:50.760
some dry weather, but there still
could be a few showers, thunder showers.

692
01:03:50.800 --> 01:03:55.159
There's enough uncertainty right now on the
forecast that where I'm not picking on

693
01:03:55.280 --> 01:04:00.920
anybody in my field, but if
anybody's given you any types of guarantees for

694
01:04:00.000 --> 01:04:03.639
the weekend, they're wrong. So
that's all I'm gonna say. There's gonna

695
01:04:03.639 --> 01:04:08.239
be changes um, timing intensity,
who's gonna get it and who's not?

696
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:12.639
Um, and I could promise see
this. It could be wet now and

697
01:04:12.760 --> 01:04:15.400
tomorrow could look like everything stays off
shore. It could be a dry weekend.

698
01:04:15.480 --> 01:04:18.960
It's the least likely scenario, but
um, just being honest, there'll

699
01:04:19.000 --> 01:04:24.760
there'll be changes to the weekends.
Don't go canceling any don't go canceling anything

700
01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:29.039
yet that hypothetically, if one was
to remove oneself to like, I don't

701
01:04:29.079 --> 01:04:31.719
know, Florida for a Memorial Day
weekend, the weather forecast South Florida might

702
01:04:31.719 --> 01:04:34.880
be a little better, or it
depends on when you're going the weekend.

703
01:04:34.960 --> 01:04:40.440
They may actually start getting drier and
more improved weather for the holiday weekend.

704
01:04:40.519 --> 01:04:45.599
The next four days they are gonna
be pretty crappy. Okay, I should

705
01:04:45.599 --> 01:04:48.519
come well when they head? Are
they going Saturday? They're going Thursday?

706
01:04:49.039 --> 01:04:54.840
Okay, Thursday, obviously, I
gotta do this whole show. Um,

707
01:04:55.159 --> 01:05:00.400
they're a little North Lauderdale. But
Thursday Friday, pro we're not going to

708
01:05:00.440 --> 01:05:02.079
be great, but the weekend should
be better. You're there, I mean

709
01:05:02.159 --> 01:05:08.239
casino there so oh well or cares
Yeah, all right, all right,

710
01:05:08.960 --> 01:05:13.079
all right, sir talking to nowur
thank you, okay, alright eight eight

711
01:05:13.159 --> 01:05:15.760
eight nine three four seven eight seven
four. So there you go. You're

712
01:05:15.760 --> 01:05:19.000
in an educational state of emergency because
somebody's not getting their way all right.

713
01:05:19.039 --> 01:05:21.599
Coming up on the show, we
got to speaking to schools. We got

714
01:05:21.599 --> 01:05:29.760
a little school issue out in western
North Carolina. Uh so that's uh,

715
01:05:29.880 --> 01:05:32.000
that's something we got to chat about. And an update on the story we

716
01:05:32.079 --> 01:05:36.079
did here just a few months ago
having to do with COVID. So lots

717
01:05:36.159 --> 01:05:45.880
to get to hang on Smart Talk
all Day five WPTI in the Triad and

718
01:05:45.079 --> 01:05:50.440
one o six one FM Talk in
the Triangle. Well, I guess we're

719
01:05:50.440 --> 01:05:58.159
gonna do this again. We got
more members from the Brady Bunch Show coming

720
01:05:58.199 --> 01:06:03.119
out and addressing you know, all
the twisted stuff, right, you want

721
01:06:03.159 --> 01:06:11.599
to talk about a hotbed of just
weird soap opery kind of stuff, love

722
01:06:11.760 --> 01:06:15.760
triangles, drug use, at all
the things over the years that have been

723
01:06:15.800 --> 01:06:19.000
alleged, I mean, and it
keeps kind of like Martha Marcia put out

724
01:06:19.079 --> 01:06:27.519
her book or the Actress obviously and
like in fact old we did a parody

725
01:06:27.559 --> 01:06:30.239
song from both iterations of this.
This is when Marcia put her new books

726
01:06:30.280 --> 01:06:38.599
out here's a story about Marcia Brady. It turns out that she really was

727
01:06:38.679 --> 01:06:44.239
a whole She did dudes like the
guy who played her brother, Oh yes,

728
01:06:44.360 --> 01:06:50.119
and lots of low busted rails.
Once with Sammy Davis Junior at the

729
01:06:50.360 --> 01:06:56.920
Canny Man's house, stoned off her
ass that their eyes were really nice and

730
01:06:57.039 --> 01:07:00.760
bloodshot, but not both of Sammy's. One was made of glasses. In

731
01:07:00.960 --> 01:07:08.239
her new book, it's in her
new book, stories of her drugs and

732
01:07:08.559 --> 01:07:15.400
sacks. Lads take a look,
right, and then that was just one

733
01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:17.920
and then all of a sudden another
tell all comes out, and it's about

734
01:07:18.000 --> 01:07:26.039
the whole family. Here's the story
of a kinky family summer saying, now

735
01:07:26.159 --> 01:07:32.360
there was some girl and girl Jane
and Marcia never told Dad her mother that

736
01:07:32.599 --> 01:07:40.760
Cindy would have hurled, but not
to worry, because missus Brady she was

737
01:07:40.880 --> 01:07:45.559
busy with some action of her own. Dad preferred man and Carol I did

738
01:07:45.679 --> 01:07:51.880
better with Greg on the down though, it seems Lama and Marcia David the

739
01:07:53.039 --> 01:07:59.000
same fellow. Wonder if they ever
got lucky during lunch. At least this

740
01:07:59.119 --> 01:08:03.760
group they kept it in the family. Guess the Bradies really were a kinky

741
01:08:03.920 --> 01:08:12.960
bunch, a kinky bunch, a
kinky bunch. I'll bet Alas then joined

742
01:08:13.119 --> 01:08:19.159
in more than once. And it
is those rumors that were part of that

743
01:08:19.319 --> 01:08:28.319
song that are now the point of
a new reunion interview whatever you want to

744
01:08:28.399 --> 01:08:34.000
call it, with former Brady Bunch
actress Susan Olsen directly addressing rumors she was

745
01:08:34.079 --> 01:08:42.239
Cindy by the way that Carol Brady, Florence Henderson and Greg Brady Berry Williams

746
01:08:43.039 --> 01:08:45.560
were a thing, which was one
of the allegations made. Now Cindy says

747
01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:50.000
it wasn't true, and of course
obviously there was about a twenty year age

748
01:08:50.079 --> 01:08:54.960
gap there, but hey, you
know what, to each their own.

749
01:08:55.680 --> 01:08:59.640
But Cindy said that that particular rumor
was the one she dislikes the most,

750
01:09:00.159 --> 01:09:09.680
but said that Barry Williams did have
a crush on her and she even let

751
01:09:10.039 --> 01:09:16.560
she even let him take her out
for her birthday. So that sounds like

752
01:09:18.159 --> 01:09:23.199
that sounds like Cindy wanted Barry,
but Barry wanted Florence, and Cindy's still

753
01:09:23.239 --> 01:09:27.760
bitter about But Barry Williams is a
jerk. I was filling in an Afternoon's

754
01:09:27.800 --> 01:09:30.800
in two thousand and three on Sweet
Nina and Omaha. When I worked there,

755
01:09:30.039 --> 01:09:32.960
I was doing nights, I was
filling in afternoons, and he came

756
01:09:33.039 --> 01:09:36.479
in to do an interview, and
I had something already planned for my interns.

757
01:09:36.520 --> 01:09:40.000
We did the whole how much milk
can you drink before you throw up?

758
01:09:40.439 --> 01:09:44.439
And live on the air. They
projectile vomit all over Barry Williams and

759
01:09:44.680 --> 01:09:47.000
he freaks out, storms out of
the studio. He said he would never

760
01:09:47.079 --> 01:09:49.840
come back to the station again.
It was the greatest thing in the world.

761
01:09:50.119 --> 01:09:56.760
Projectile vomited on the eyeball a joke. What a jerk. He can't

762
01:09:56.760 --> 01:10:00.760
take a joke. He was projectile
vomited on. It was a great moment.

763
01:10:00.960 --> 01:10:04.159
I think Cindy. Cindy wanted that, and Cindy didn't get that,

764
01:10:04.399 --> 01:10:48.880
and now she's bitter. That's how
I read that insanity. All right,

765
01:10:48.920 --> 01:10:53.560
good morning everybody. It is eight
oh six here on the Case Today radio

766
01:10:53.640 --> 01:10:57.880
program. I'm sorry for you,
sir. One of our listeners is in

767
01:10:58.039 --> 01:11:06.199
sense hold on Jeff, which beach
boy. Well, anyway, so Jeff

768
01:11:06.279 --> 01:11:11.039
just said, imagine my surprise sitting
there and turning on part of the governor's

769
01:11:11.039 --> 01:11:19.359
press conference yesterday and hearing him compare
his educational priorities to a disastrous hurricane in

770
01:11:19.520 --> 01:11:28.520
nineteen ninety nine. During Hurricane Floyd, our beach house was disappeared. Well,

771
01:11:28.560 --> 01:11:30.039
I'm glad, I'm glad. It
didn't sound like anybody got hurt in

772
01:11:30.159 --> 01:11:34.520
that. But yeah, yeah,
that's a that's another thing. There's a

773
01:11:34.640 --> 01:11:42.600
lot of disasters with Matthew Irene Florence, at least in my time. You

774
01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:45.319
go back, what were some of
the other big ones, fran Floyd Hugo.

775
01:11:48.079 --> 01:11:51.439
So yeah, now I can imagine
why that wouldn't be too palatable to

776
01:11:51.479 --> 01:11:55.600
you, sir. All right,
let me grab a quick call on this.

777
01:11:56.000 --> 01:11:59.640
Dave's been hanging on, Dave,
what's up? Well, hey there,

778
01:11:59.640 --> 01:12:02.680
okay, um, going back to
old news. I guess a few

779
01:12:02.720 --> 01:12:06.920
minutes ago when you had Roy Cooper
on there, I just um, I

780
01:12:08.119 --> 01:12:12.000
was reminded of two rules and we
all need to remember when we hear a

781
01:12:12.079 --> 01:12:15.720
lip speaking. One if the lips
remove them, their lying. And two

782
01:12:16.439 --> 01:12:25.800
anything they accuse anybody polready done it
or are doing it. Um, well,

783
01:12:26.159 --> 01:12:28.920
uh yeah, you're in there with
your own special flourish. I guess.

784
01:12:29.359 --> 01:12:34.399
Yeah. Hypocrisy, the hypocrisy is
overwhelming. And um also, I

785
01:12:34.520 --> 01:12:40.159
just I think he's feeling unappreciated because
there's really nothing you can do. He

786
01:12:40.239 --> 01:12:45.319
should yeah, go hang out a
Western residents, cut some ribbons, do

787
01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:48.640
whatever. Man. Yeah, yeah, yes, indeed, all right,

788
01:12:48.680 --> 01:12:56.439
cool, cool, they appreciate the
body. Yeah, thank you. Go

789
01:12:56.600 --> 01:13:01.600
to the fun stuff. Man running
around pretending to declare states of emergency.

790
01:13:01.680 --> 01:13:06.079
The irony, of course, is
you can't even do that anymore if the

791
01:13:06.159 --> 01:13:09.760
budget passes. And I want to
just by the way, I want to

792
01:13:09.800 --> 01:13:15.199
mention this because I was talking about
this and somebody, somebody set me straight

793
01:13:15.399 --> 01:13:17.319
or at least inform me, and
I missed this, But I want to

794
01:13:17.319 --> 01:13:21.560
give credit where credit is due.
I wanted to make sure. When we

795
01:13:21.600 --> 01:13:27.800
were having that conversation last week with
both the Lieutenant governor and Mark Walker,

796
01:13:28.680 --> 01:13:30.239
I brought up, hey, if
we got this, one of the things

797
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:33.840
I absolutely want to see is I
want to see that the governor can't just

798
01:13:33.920 --> 01:13:39.079
throw us into a seven hundred day
state of emergency, refused to take critical

799
01:13:39.199 --> 01:13:43.760
questions and do what every damn well
pleases by violating his own rules so he

800
01:13:43.840 --> 01:13:47.720
can march with protesters. We need
to put the kibosh on that and Initially

801
01:13:47.760 --> 01:13:51.840
they'd put a bill out he vetoed
in. It's my understanding that as part

802
01:13:51.960 --> 01:13:58.479
of the budget, and then the
fix it portion that that is in fact

803
01:13:58.680 --> 01:14:06.800
included. So uh good, good, But for whatever reason that gets kicked,

804
01:14:06.840 --> 01:14:12.079
you still got to do it.
But uh, credit where credit is

805
01:14:12.159 --> 01:14:20.520
due to that the NC General Assembly
in prioritizing that, because that that was

806
01:14:20.560 --> 01:14:26.479
an abomination. And I think we
see how it all turned out. And

807
01:14:26.560 --> 01:14:30.359
of course they'll never you know,
dig into it to the extent that they

808
01:14:30.439 --> 01:14:36.000
need to, because that would require
the media to actually challenge their own ideology

809
01:14:36.039 --> 01:14:43.279
in many instances. Are you want
to hear something super creepy and I have

810
01:14:43.359 --> 01:14:50.880
a theory about it too. Ali
Tate Cutler is this? Uh this this

811
01:14:51.119 --> 01:14:58.399
young woman's name and miss Cutler.
Among other things, she is an Instagram

812
01:14:58.560 --> 01:15:04.399
influencer, She is a TikToker.
She is also a plus sized victorious secret

813
01:15:04.479 --> 01:15:14.479
model kind of. She did appear
and a collaboration once back in twenty nineteen.

814
01:15:15.520 --> 01:15:20.720
Okay, so she you know,
she's an influencer and she churning out

815
01:15:20.800 --> 01:15:26.000
content and that's that's how she makes
your bones. And I don't begrudge it.

816
01:15:26.079 --> 01:15:31.680
I find a lot of it is
not for me. A lot of

817
01:15:31.720 --> 01:15:38.159
these content creators are people that I
just don't feel like I want to hang

818
01:15:38.239 --> 01:15:43.479
out with, especially that one guy
who's now claiming that people are mad at

819
01:15:43.560 --> 01:15:46.680
him because he's racist. He's a
British, he's black and he's a British,

820
01:15:47.079 --> 01:15:51.399
and like he goes and does these
things like which looked like assault and

821
01:15:51.600 --> 01:15:57.880
theft for lolls, and people were
getting very critical of them this week,

822
01:15:57.960 --> 01:16:02.640
and now he's claiming it's just because
racem Like he was attacking Hasidic Jewish guy

823
01:16:02.680 --> 01:16:08.880
who was just standing there, like
jumped on his back. He goes into

824
01:16:08.960 --> 01:16:12.079
libraries, grabs a book, goes
up to the desk and just starts shredding

825
01:16:12.119 --> 01:16:16.119
the book. And this is content
and he's got a lot of followers,

826
01:16:16.159 --> 01:16:20.680
so good for him. So my
point is there's so many content creators.

827
01:16:20.720 --> 01:16:26.319
You got to get a little creative
if you want to stand out. Like

828
01:16:26.520 --> 01:16:31.640
mister Beast wasn't the original, but
arguably he found he found his own genre

829
01:16:32.079 --> 01:16:36.880
and he goes out he does it
better than anybody, and then even when

830
01:16:36.920 --> 01:16:40.640
he does good stuff, people are
critical of him. How dare you make

831
01:16:40.680 --> 01:16:45.119
it so a thousand people can see
well, Cutler won a different direction.

832
01:16:47.760 --> 01:16:54.760
So she's put out a series of
videos and I gotta tell you these are

833
01:16:56.960 --> 01:17:02.119
these are videos. These will make
you obscenely comfortable because they're done in like

834
01:17:02.319 --> 01:17:12.840
a like an upbeat way, like
you're going for you're trying to make people

835
01:17:14.199 --> 01:17:20.479
laugh a little. The topic it's
her and her grandmother, and her grandmother

836
01:17:20.600 --> 01:17:30.439
who's recently received a terminal diagnosis and
has opted for youth and Asia. So

837
01:17:30.640 --> 01:17:34.039
she's making like, I understand that
you want to, you want to make

838
01:17:34.159 --> 01:17:39.159
the time that people have left,
albeit in this case it will be a

839
01:17:39.520 --> 01:17:45.680
sped up clock because of what Grandma's
choosing there, but making cutesye videos about

840
01:17:45.960 --> 01:17:49.960
hey, grandma chose the youth in
Asia, so this is the last time

841
01:17:50.039 --> 01:18:00.159
I get to take her out for
dinner. Oh yeah, it's not.

842
01:18:02.680 --> 01:18:06.960
It's not that you shouldn't address this. This, This is I I've had

843
01:18:08.039 --> 01:18:10.199
to deal with this. I'm sure
many of you have had to deal with

844
01:18:11.000 --> 01:18:18.960
a family member receiving a diagnosis,
a terminal diagnosis. My own mother did.

845
01:18:20.119 --> 01:18:24.760
And yes, you want to,
you want to make that time as

846
01:18:24.800 --> 01:18:30.760
positive as possible. You want to
do what you can. You can never

847
01:18:30.880 --> 01:18:33.840
really grasp what that individual may be
going through, but perhaps there's some of

848
01:18:33.920 --> 01:18:41.119
you listening to find yourselves in that
situation. But I have to strongly suspect

849
01:18:42.039 --> 01:18:49.439
that what my mother wouldn't have wanted, and people are different, is to

850
01:18:49.560 --> 01:18:58.439
be part of a bunch of tiktoks
with little cutesy voiceover and pranks and and

851
01:18:58.560 --> 01:19:04.079
I don't know, maybe maybe Grandma
was all about that, or perhaps Grandma

852
01:19:04.720 --> 01:19:11.279
realized what a vapid legacy of a
granddaughter she has, and maybe she's the

853
01:19:11.359 --> 01:19:15.119
one to push the calendar up.
I don't know, man, the whole

854
01:19:15.199 --> 01:19:20.119
thing is just so creepy. If
you wanted to take your platform and talk

855
01:19:20.199 --> 01:19:26.079
about this and how families work through
this, even on the topic of assisted

856
01:19:26.159 --> 01:19:32.159
suicide, which admittedly is a touchy
one, that'd be one thing. But

857
01:19:32.279 --> 01:19:41.680
I just you can't do the same
approach. You're creeping people out just casually

858
01:19:41.720 --> 01:19:44.960
asking One of the question she asked
her is very casually. So what are

859
01:19:45.000 --> 01:19:49.720
your thoughts now that the date's getting
closer? You know, that's a real

860
01:19:49.880 --> 01:19:55.079
conversation, don't get me wrong,
But when it's asked like what are your

861
01:19:55.119 --> 01:20:00.159
thoughts on which restaurant we should go
to when it comes across like that,

862
01:20:01.439 --> 01:20:09.199
people are rightfully going to push back. That's you can look it up if

863
01:20:09.239 --> 01:20:12.560
you want. I'm not I'm not
gonna sit here and and get into it

864
01:20:12.720 --> 01:20:15.439
much more than that ally tate color. It won't be hard to find.

865
01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:19.079
We'll put out a link too on
the Twitter at Casey on the Radio if

866
01:20:19.439 --> 01:20:23.520
you want to check more of that
out. Ross. Did you watch any

867
01:20:23.560 --> 01:20:29.960
of those videos, actually believe it
or not? I did not. Yeah,

868
01:20:30.920 --> 01:20:34.199
I say, you know, I'm
going to skip that one. Who

869
01:20:34.560 --> 01:20:39.439
You're a content creator. I'm a
content creator for that matter, But from

870
01:20:39.479 --> 01:20:45.520
a digital perspective, obviously radio is
a different animal than TikTok, different animal

871
01:20:45.600 --> 01:20:56.000
than Twitch, than Instagram, all
of that, and I can't fathom coming

872
01:20:56.039 --> 01:20:59.399
to the conclusion that that's a good
idea. But maybe I'm missing the boat

873
01:20:59.439 --> 01:21:04.199
because I'm not content creator on one
of the young hip platforms like the TikTok

874
01:21:04.319 --> 01:21:11.439
or the Twitch or the Instagram or
no. She just looks clinically insane even

875
01:21:11.520 --> 01:21:17.720
on those platforms. So you can
weigh in on that. Eight eight eight,

876
01:21:17.960 --> 01:21:20.920
nine, three four seven, eight
seventy four. You ever wanted to

877
01:21:21.079 --> 01:21:26.279
grab a hatchet and chase around college
students and light them on fire. No,

878
01:21:26.520 --> 01:21:30.159
me, neither. I would not
recommend doing that. However, if

879
01:21:30.279 --> 01:21:33.319
you were to do that, what
is your assumption of what might happen to

880
01:21:33.479 --> 01:21:40.439
you? Well, like prison forever. So you're gonna go with prison for

881
01:21:40.880 --> 01:21:44.560
chasing college students with a hatchet and
lighting them on fire? All right,

882
01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:50.079
Ross is on team prison forever.
Will you be surprised? Actually no,

883
01:21:50.359 --> 01:21:56.680
this isn't another iteration of some nineties
slasher movie. It's real life California.

884
01:21:56.840 --> 01:22:08.359
And wait to hear how it played
out. We'll do it now next one

885
01:22:08.439 --> 01:22:13.880
oh six one FM Talk and nine
four five w PTI, two stations driving

886
01:22:13.960 --> 01:22:17.920
the best in talk. This is
case O Day and Carolina's Morning News.

887
01:22:19.800 --> 01:22:25.560
All right, a twenty three Cacoda
radio program. M Ross, you catch

888
01:22:25.680 --> 01:22:31.039
the uh Lakers Nuggets? I did
not? Oh no, what did I

889
01:22:31.159 --> 01:22:34.720
miss? All right? So going
into the game, Lakers are down zero

890
01:22:34.760 --> 01:22:40.680
and three. All right, must
win, super must win, And for

891
01:22:41.000 --> 01:22:44.039
the majority of the game looked like
that was going to be the case.

892
01:22:44.079 --> 01:22:47.359
They were up like twenty some points. At one point they were picking Denver

893
01:22:47.520 --> 01:22:51.039
apart. Lebron had like I want
to say, he had like thirty points

894
01:22:51.079 --> 01:22:56.359
in the first half. Which is
you know, if if, if you

895
01:22:56.479 --> 01:22:59.920
are in a goat discussion, that's
what you gotta do in the clutch,

896
01:23:00.119 --> 01:23:04.560
just of clutch situations. And then
it all started to fall apart, and

897
01:23:04.720 --> 01:23:08.680
by the time we got to the
very last moment of the game, it

898
01:23:08.800 --> 01:23:11.520
went back and forth, back and
forth. There's like four and a half

899
01:23:11.600 --> 01:23:18.439
seconds left, Denver's up one thirteen
to one eleven, and the Lakers get

900
01:23:18.479 --> 01:23:21.560
their time out. They get the
rebound on a mist because actually the Nuggets

901
01:23:21.640 --> 01:23:25.760
had a chance to add more they
missed. They get the rebound, time

902
01:23:25.800 --> 01:23:30.399
out. You got, now one
player you're gonna get to run. Who

903
01:23:30.520 --> 01:23:32.720
do you give the ball too?
If you're the Lakers, gotta give it

904
01:23:32.760 --> 01:23:36.439
to the goat, you give it
to Lebron. Right, he had played

905
01:23:36.479 --> 01:23:40.479
well in the first half. He
had a lot of points, and he

906
01:23:40.800 --> 01:23:47.439
is by far the best player on
the Lakers team. And it's it's it's

907
01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:55.359
those moments that define players, especially
in the NBA, those clutch Who do

908
01:23:55.439 --> 01:23:58.000
you give the ball too? And
what do they do with it? And

909
01:23:58.359 --> 01:24:02.640
so all of these people having the
debate about Jordan and Lebron, all they

910
01:24:02.720 --> 01:24:06.359
have to do is watch what happened
last night. So he gets given the

911
01:24:06.439 --> 01:24:13.680
ball and he has a couple options
he can He can take the ball,

912
01:24:13.880 --> 01:24:15.920
go to the ride a little and
attempt to take what would be a very

913
01:24:16.079 --> 01:24:21.159
similar two point shot, kind of
lined up with the free throw line from

914
01:24:21.159 --> 01:24:25.199
the back, kind of fade away. You know that shot that we saw

915
01:24:25.359 --> 01:24:30.319
Jordan make famously make where he's nine
feet off the ground. It's going in

916
01:24:30.560 --> 01:24:34.079
his arms, spinning, Yeah,
against Craig Ylow and yeah, the calves

917
01:24:34.119 --> 01:24:38.680
that was early in his run.
Yep. That one of the most iconic

918
01:24:38.720 --> 01:24:41.680
shots in all the basketball and Jordan's
got a few to choose from. Well,

919
01:24:41.720 --> 01:24:44.520
He's got that right, That's the
way he developed his jump shot.

920
01:24:44.720 --> 01:24:46.960
Then towards the end of his career, the fade away with the kickout.

921
01:24:47.520 --> 01:24:53.199
Yes, Larry Bird, this was
a guy who literally won games, and

922
01:24:53.279 --> 01:24:57.960
he told people where he was going
to shoot from. He's like, I'm

923
01:24:58.000 --> 01:25:00.520
gonna get inbound the ball and I'm
gonna shoot from right here, and there's

924
01:25:00.560 --> 01:25:02.640
nothing you can do about he you
know what? He did that? And

925
01:25:02.680 --> 01:25:05.079
not only that, but he said
he's gonna land on the opposing team's bench

926
01:25:06.119 --> 01:25:10.680
and he did, Yes, he
did. He said I'm gonna do this

927
01:25:10.760 --> 01:25:13.079
I'm gonna make this shot right here, and I'm gonna fall on your coach

928
01:25:13.159 --> 01:25:15.680
or whatever. And that's exactly what
he did. So what did Lebron do?

929
01:25:15.239 --> 01:25:19.119
He gets the ball, and for
no reason I can understand, he

930
01:25:19.239 --> 01:25:29.520
attempts to drive the lane with two
defenders posted or getting posted up and smashes

931
01:25:29.600 --> 01:25:33.000
kind of in between him and misses
by a mile. Wasn't even close.

932
01:25:34.600 --> 01:25:41.640
They lose. He then just turns
around, doesn't congratulate opponents, doesn't talk

933
01:25:41.680 --> 01:25:45.800
to teammate, not just walks all
the way across the court in the tunnel

934
01:25:45.880 --> 01:25:47.880
out. Well, I wonder whose
fault that was. It's probably what he's

935
01:25:47.920 --> 01:25:50.359
contemplating, you know what I mean, Like I start that up for me

936
01:25:50.439 --> 01:25:55.319
this time. Yeah, maybe that
was part of going up the middle,

937
01:25:55.439 --> 01:26:00.880
but also like that, driving that
with those with the defense that he was

938
01:26:00.000 --> 01:26:03.760
presented with versus trying to shoot,
which would have been contested, but they

939
01:26:03.800 --> 01:26:10.520
weren't really pressing him. Your best
case scenario is what to get a foul

940
01:26:12.039 --> 01:26:16.560
and then you have to go make
the two free throws? What happens if

941
01:26:16.600 --> 01:26:21.319
you I mean, that's not the
strategy. Get somewhere. You had the

942
01:26:21.399 --> 01:26:27.199
opportunity take the shot. You're the
you're the guy in the discussion with Jordan,

943
01:26:27.840 --> 01:26:32.359
and he just didn't and they got
swept. The whole conversation and debate

944
01:26:32.439 --> 01:26:38.319
between Lebron and Michael to me is
like mind boggingly stupid. It's it's and

945
01:26:38.399 --> 01:26:41.640
it tends to team Lebron, not
all the time, but it tends to

946
01:26:41.720 --> 01:26:44.720
be people who are never alive to
see Michael Jordan play, so they don't

947
01:26:44.720 --> 01:26:45.680
really know what they're going I mean, you can watch highlights, but it's

948
01:26:45.720 --> 01:26:50.640
not the same, right, And
Michael Jordan accomplished more and less time.

949
01:26:50.760 --> 01:26:55.239
Like if Michael Jordan played the amount
of years that Lebron played, there wouldn't

950
01:26:55.279 --> 01:26:58.640
even be a debate. No,
it's just it's a matter of longevity for

951
01:26:58.720 --> 01:27:02.560
Lebron. But you agree that these
clutch situations have to be part of the

952
01:27:02.600 --> 01:27:05.199
conversation, Well has to go.
I mean that because if you're that player,

953
01:27:05.279 --> 01:27:09.119
you want the ball. Yeah,
and I'm sure he wanted the ball.

954
01:27:09.319 --> 01:27:13.039
I just don't know what he thought
he was doing with it. So

955
01:27:13.520 --> 01:27:15.439
yeah, I was a little ugly
there. So it'd be nugget. I

956
01:27:15.439 --> 01:27:18.439
think it'll probably be Miami and Denver, which I'm cool with. I'll watch

957
01:27:18.560 --> 01:27:23.000
that. Not a huge NBA guy, but I do like I want to

958
01:27:23.079 --> 01:27:26.479
get in the playoffs and I like
college basketball. So it's just evolution of

959
01:27:26.600 --> 01:27:31.439
that. So all right, we've
got lots to get to in our final

960
01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:45.800
half hour and your calls coming up. Hang up your day Smarter one O

961
01:27:45.000 --> 01:27:53.520
six one FM Talk and News Talk
w PTI More with Casey starts now.

962
01:27:55.279 --> 01:27:59.520
So let's just for a moment,
say you are, you're in charge of

963
01:28:00.039 --> 01:28:04.359
law and order? What do you
think should happen to somebody who walks up

964
01:28:04.439 --> 01:28:09.680
to some random people, threatens to
light them on fire, then does light

965
01:28:09.760 --> 01:28:15.920
them on fire. Then when they
retaliate or attempt to subdue this individual,

966
01:28:15.079 --> 01:28:20.439
you then pull a hatchet and attack
people. What should happen to the firelighter

967
01:28:20.479 --> 01:28:27.840
hatchet dude? Probably something right?
He Hell, sweet summer child, you

968
01:28:28.000 --> 01:28:35.680
are You're wrong? California. A
man convicted of lighting students on fire at

969
01:28:35.800 --> 01:28:45.640
UC Berkeley in twenty twenty and wielding
a hatchet will not serve any jail time

970
01:28:46.520 --> 01:28:54.520
after he has agreed to participate in
a diversion program. Do you need a

971
01:28:54.680 --> 01:29:00.880
diversion A diversion program to let you
know that you're not supposed to light people

972
01:29:00.920 --> 01:29:05.479
on fire while wielding a hatchet.
Do you think he's gonna be sitting there

973
01:29:05.600 --> 01:29:12.239
day one of the diversion classes or
counseling or whatever was required, and he's

974
01:29:12.239 --> 01:29:15.039
gonna be like, oh, what
you can't do that? I had no

975
01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:24.920
idea. Brandon mcgloane, who was
convicted of multiple felonies, accepted a deal

976
01:29:25.119 --> 01:29:30.279
from the Alameda This is a UC
Berkeley, Alameda County District Attorney's Office.

977
01:29:30.840 --> 01:29:38.119
Mcgloane reportedly approached two men who were
sitting outside of a restaurant eating, walks

978
01:29:38.159 --> 01:29:42.840
over knocks the food off their table
and told them he was going to light

979
01:29:42.920 --> 01:29:48.279
them on fire. Okay, you
got my attention, at which point he

980
01:29:48.359 --> 01:29:55.079
then produced a w D forty and
sprayed it all over as they were attempting

981
01:29:55.119 --> 01:30:00.039
to escape. Following the incident,
he went into a tea house where he

982
01:30:00.079 --> 01:30:03.119
sprayed the cans some more and actually
lit two other people on fire. So

983
01:30:03.239 --> 01:30:08.159
he didn't get the first two lit
up, but the second too since they

984
01:30:08.199 --> 01:30:12.239
were stuck inside. He got them
on fire. As you can imagine,

985
01:30:12.479 --> 01:30:19.560
people came to their aid so they
weren't killed or anything. Bystanders even tried

986
01:30:19.600 --> 01:30:24.880
to restrain him, at which point
he pulled out a hatchet and threatened them.

987
01:30:26.640 --> 01:30:30.920
When police arrived and were eventually able
to subdue him, they found that,

988
01:30:30.039 --> 01:30:34.239
in addition to the hatchet and the
w D forty on his person,

989
01:30:34.439 --> 01:30:45.399
he had multiple knives, a machete, and several molotov cocktails. He was

990
01:30:45.520 --> 01:30:49.600
facing obviously significant prison time, but
they're going to put him through a diversion

991
01:30:49.720 --> 01:31:03.479
program and how'll be fine. Read
a couple of quotes here. During the

992
01:31:03.520 --> 01:31:08.520
attack, mcgloane told the man that
he wanted to light someone on fire because,

993
01:31:08.640 --> 01:31:12.159
quote, if I don't get to
see my family tonight, someone else

994
01:31:12.319 --> 01:31:17.000
doesn't get to see their family tonight, and I choose you. The man

995
01:31:17.119 --> 01:31:20.720
said at the time he'd seen a
lot of quote crazy homeless people in his

996
01:31:20.840 --> 01:31:25.680
life, but this situation was different
right off the bat, as he seemed

997
01:31:25.880 --> 01:31:30.399
extremely dangerous. His defense attorney said
he's the victim, though, saying his

998
01:31:30.479 --> 01:31:35.600
actions were the result of a very
dark time and a very bad time in

999
01:31:35.840 --> 01:31:40.319
his life, and he was lashing
out. So this is good news.

1000
01:31:40.399 --> 01:31:44.439
So if I ever, like,
if things get really bad and I need

1001
01:31:44.520 --> 01:31:47.479
to vent, apparently I can stroll
over to the nearest college campus, light

1002
01:31:47.560 --> 01:31:53.359
students on fire and threaten him with
a hatchet. I had no idea Ross

1003
01:31:53.600 --> 01:31:57.239
is going to be amazing, What
a great activity that there's no I think

1004
01:31:57.319 --> 01:32:00.399
I think the outcome for you might
be a little different. I'm sorry.

1005
01:32:01.079 --> 01:32:04.560
I know I'll use w D forty
and a hatchet and have a machete and

1006
01:32:04.680 --> 01:32:10.640
all I will have the same kit. Okay, so that it's just apples.

1007
01:32:10.960 --> 01:32:16.600
I'm just saying it might be a
little different. But because can you

1008
01:32:16.640 --> 01:32:21.159
think of any reason why that would
be different? Because I'm gonna have w

1009
01:32:21.359 --> 01:32:28.640
D forty and a hatchet. I
have these things I always say. I

1010
01:32:28.720 --> 01:32:31.000
mean, you know, just spitall
in here. Okay, you are a

1011
01:32:31.840 --> 01:32:35.760
a white male who hosts a conservative
news talk show. I think there might

1012
01:32:35.760 --> 01:32:40.600
be a little different. I think
there might be a racial component. Here's

1013
01:32:40.600 --> 01:32:43.359
what I'm saying. If you look
at the track history of recent arrests and

1014
01:32:43.560 --> 01:32:46.359
the people they let let go,
I'm saying it's especially where was this all

1015
01:32:46.520 --> 01:32:49.520
ying? Do is yang? This
is in California? And yes you're doing

1016
01:32:50.760 --> 01:32:55.479
don't black man? Should students you
live on fire? Two white guys?

1017
01:32:55.920 --> 01:33:01.119
Um? What what? Well?
I won't. I'll don't worry I'll light

1018
01:33:01.199 --> 01:33:04.119
white guys on fire. Is that? Is that what you're implying or should

1019
01:33:04.119 --> 01:33:10.680
I there might be some repercussions.
Oh okay, well, Ross is trying

1020
01:33:10.720 --> 01:33:13.840
your rising now, spitballing whatever you
want to. I mean, I'm not

1021
01:33:13.920 --> 01:33:18.560
a lawyer, No you're not.
I'm just saying, you know, this

1022
01:33:18.800 --> 01:33:23.800
is we got case law here now
with this insanity. All right, let

1023
01:33:23.840 --> 01:33:30.119
me get some calls. Keith,
what's up, hello, Keith? Oh

1024
01:33:30.319 --> 01:33:33.439
yes, hey, good morning sir, Good morning, good morning. Yeah.

1025
01:33:33.479 --> 01:33:36.239
I just wanted to come on long
time listener, first time caller,

1026
01:33:36.800 --> 01:33:41.520
but I wanted to call on that
story you guys had about the bill that

1027
01:33:41.640 --> 01:33:46.960
just passed, the school choice right. And my wife and I since nineteen

1028
01:33:47.079 --> 01:33:51.520
ninety eight, we put our kids
through private school through the Catholic the propil

1029
01:33:51.600 --> 01:33:58.159
schools because we couldn't take the public
schools. And we did whatever we had

1030
01:33:58.199 --> 01:34:00.439
to. We paid, you know, we own a haul and we pay

1031
01:34:00.439 --> 01:34:03.279
our taxes. We live here in
Wait County, and it got to the

1032
01:34:03.399 --> 01:34:06.840
point we couldn't really afford it,
but we had to make a choice.

1033
01:34:09.000 --> 01:34:12.039
And then as time kept going on, I even lost my job back in

1034
01:34:12.079 --> 01:34:15.479
two thousand and nine, and we
had to make a hard choice. But

1035
01:34:15.640 --> 01:34:19.159
we kept them in private school because
of what was happening in the public school

1036
01:34:19.199 --> 01:34:24.880
system. And I did work with
Wait County school system. I got the

1037
01:34:24.920 --> 01:34:30.960
fee firsthand. Some of this what
they would call trying to teach children and

1038
01:34:30.119 --> 01:34:33.520
it's just uh. And I think
everybody should have a right. And I

1039
01:34:33.640 --> 01:34:36.960
don't care what you make. When
you make a million dollars, if you're

1040
01:34:38.000 --> 01:34:43.279
osible for the credit that you should
be able to take it. Yeah.

1041
01:34:43.359 --> 01:34:46.319
Well, if you have students and
you want to educate them, you should

1042
01:34:46.319 --> 01:34:50.159
have the choice to where you educate
them. And if we're going to if

1043
01:34:50.159 --> 01:34:55.880
we're going to allocate dollars that are
extracted from those very same taxpayers such as

1044
01:34:55.960 --> 01:34:59.399
you, how much easier would would
your life have been if you had sixty

1045
01:34:59.439 --> 01:35:02.720
seven h dollars credit each here for
per kid? Oh, that would have

1046
01:35:02.720 --> 01:35:08.640
been because when our kids were going
through the tuition, even the case through

1047
01:35:09.079 --> 01:35:13.119
and then the high school nine through
twelve. Once they get into the high

1048
01:35:13.119 --> 01:35:16.079
school, the tuition jumps. Yeah. Yeah, and it you know,

1049
01:35:16.159 --> 01:35:21.000
we met hard decision. And now
both our children have graduated college and they

1050
01:35:21.079 --> 01:35:25.720
both when we talked him about it, and they thought we gave up and

1051
01:35:25.880 --> 01:35:30.439
they appreciate it. They appreciate having
the opportunity to get a better education.

1052
01:35:30.800 --> 01:35:33.199
And then when he went to college
they could see the difference. Well that's

1053
01:35:33.199 --> 01:35:38.319
good, you know what good sir, and I want everyone such as to

1054
01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:43.000
have and thank you for the call
to have that experience that you had and

1055
01:35:43.279 --> 01:35:46.039
that the governor was able to avail
himself of for his child, his child,

1056
01:35:48.079 --> 01:35:51.560
Eddie, real quick, what's up, hey, I just wanted to

1057
01:35:51.600 --> 01:35:56.000
give you the you know, perspective
on the go conversation. I think we

1058
01:35:56.119 --> 01:36:01.239
need to look at success rate more
than anything and every competitive arena basketball related

1059
01:36:01.680 --> 01:36:06.439
Michael Jordan, you know, it
just outdid Lebron and every every way shape

1060
01:36:06.479 --> 01:36:10.279
and for him. People that haven't
seen him, I agree with you earlier.

1061
01:36:10.359 --> 01:36:14.359
People that haven't seen him play can't
don't have the proper perspective, and

1062
01:36:14.640 --> 01:36:17.760
they're really just talking because they're listening
to what everybody else is saying about Lebron,

1063
01:36:17.840 --> 01:36:21.000
and I don't think that's a fair
perspective. In the In the same

1064
01:36:21.119 --> 01:36:24.720
way and I know, I thanks
for the call, Eddie. In the

1065
01:36:24.800 --> 01:36:29.560
same way that when Patriots fans during
the prime of Tom Brady said, if

1066
01:36:29.560 --> 01:36:32.359
you give that guy the ball,
We're gonna win. That level of confidence,

1067
01:36:32.880 --> 01:36:35.720
that's what. Even if you weren't
a Bulls fan, when you saw

1068
01:36:35.960 --> 01:36:40.279
Jordan and it was down to crunch
time, you're like, this dude's gonna

1069
01:36:40.319 --> 01:36:45.880
win the game. And I don't
have that opinion of Lebron. I think

1070
01:36:45.920 --> 01:36:49.840
he's a good player, but scored
a lot of points. But when it

1071
01:36:49.920 --> 01:36:54.359
gets into the clutch, you don't
have that clutch confidence. Man. And

1072
01:36:54.479 --> 01:36:57.439
you saw it last night Race Agic
from the Weather Channel. He could have

1073
01:36:57.479 --> 01:37:04.199
gone pro. He's nine feet tall, could have gabron ball four seconds left

1074
01:37:04.239 --> 01:37:08.079
and he tries to drive defend what
happened? I mean, what what are

1075
01:37:08.119 --> 01:37:11.920
you doing? Yeah, I saw
that they're out. Yeah, I mean

1076
01:37:12.079 --> 01:37:15.039
that. I was kind of you
know, I don't really follow NBA as

1077
01:37:15.119 --> 01:37:16.399
much anymore, but I was following
that because I used to be a Lakers

1078
01:37:16.479 --> 01:37:20.680
fan, because I threw the skyhook
back in the day. I was yeah,

1079
01:37:20.840 --> 01:37:24.319
you know, yeah. So,
like I said, if I would

1080
01:37:24.319 --> 01:37:27.439
have applied myself, you never know. But I did in this business.

1081
01:37:27.520 --> 01:37:30.399
So I can give you the best
we've got, and it's gonna be pretty

1082
01:37:30.439 --> 01:37:32.760
good around here the next few days. A partial sun today and tomorrow with

1083
01:37:32.800 --> 01:37:36.039
the clouds, mid seventies with a
gusty breeze out of the northeast. So

1084
01:37:36.079 --> 01:37:41.079
as long as we keep this northeast
flow will stay cool at night, we'll

1085
01:37:41.079 --> 01:37:43.840
be in the load of mid fifties. Friday be the sunniest day, the

1086
01:37:43.920 --> 01:37:46.680
next three low seventies, maybe some
mid seventies, and then as it get

1087
01:37:46.720 --> 01:37:49.399
into the weekend, a little bit
unsettled, with the chance of showers each

1088
01:37:49.520 --> 01:37:54.000
day, maybe even some thunder showers
as we head towards Memorial Day and I'll

1089
01:37:54.039 --> 01:37:57.640
warm up a little bit, though
We'll have to see what this area of

1090
01:37:57.720 --> 01:38:01.279
low pressure potentially does as I try
to sit off the southeast coast, and

1091
01:38:01.399 --> 01:38:04.319
at this point doesn't look like great
beach weather for at least a part of

1092
01:38:04.359 --> 01:38:09.439
the holiday weekend, and some of
that moisture may come inland. But I

1093
01:38:09.520 --> 01:38:12.520
think tomorrow we might have a little
better handle on what's going to be going

1094
01:38:12.600 --> 01:38:14.960
on there, whether the Hurricane Center
it takes a look at it or not.

1095
01:38:15.399 --> 01:38:18.840
That is TBD also, so you
have a little heightened awareness. Would

1096
01:38:18.880 --> 01:38:23.359
definitely be some higher rip cards.
What's there's higher rip current risks right now,

1097
01:38:23.920 --> 01:38:27.079
and maybe some gusty wins. Who
knows that they get the tropical storm

1098
01:38:27.159 --> 01:38:30.159
force. As I say, Casey, the next three days, the rest

1099
01:38:30.159 --> 01:38:33.159
of the business week here looks good. Feel okay, it's the weekend.

1100
01:38:33.199 --> 01:38:36.439
I've got a lot of questions about
it, and so does everybody, so

1101
01:38:36.920 --> 01:38:40.119
you know, it's it's simple.
Let me, here's what you do.

1102
01:38:40.359 --> 01:38:43.039
Go to the beach, but yep, don't actually go to the water.

1103
01:38:43.199 --> 01:38:46.760
Just sit there under the umbrella,
got your cooler, got your shades,

1104
01:38:47.039 --> 01:38:51.520
got your music there. Safety first, exactly, and you don't have to

1105
01:38:51.560 --> 01:38:57.239
worry about burning your skin. Right, Yeah, looking at the positive.

1106
01:38:57.439 --> 01:39:00.520
I appreciate that. Yep, yep, all right, thanks, I appreciate

1107
01:39:00.560 --> 01:39:03.760
it. We'll talk tomorrow and we'll
come back with Jeff Bellinger and talk about

1108
01:39:04.239 --> 01:39:10.399
deep faking the stock market, which
is terrifying. That's coming up next.

1109
01:39:18.800 --> 01:39:25.239
Keeping you connected. This is ninety
four five WPTI in the Triad and one

1110
01:39:25.319 --> 01:39:30.399
oh six one FM Talk in the
Triangle. Alright, a fifty three Blimberg

1111
01:39:30.479 --> 01:39:33.399
update. Now, Jeff Bellinger,
did AI try to crash the stock market

1112
01:39:33.520 --> 01:39:38.960
yesterday? What's up? Okay?
Yeah, investors did get punk yesterday,

1113
01:39:39.279 --> 01:39:44.520
Casey. The stock market turned lower
after a falsified photo circulated on social media.

1114
01:39:44.840 --> 01:39:48.159
The picture purported to show an explosion
near the Pentagon. Now really didn't

1115
01:39:48.159 --> 01:39:51.319
take long for the word to spread
that the posting was a hoax. Stocks

1116
01:39:51.359 --> 01:39:56.720
quickly recovered, but it is believed
to be the first time an AI generated

1117
01:39:56.840 --> 01:40:00.760
image move the stock market. Stocks
ended mixed yes yesterday. A President Biden

1118
01:40:00.840 --> 01:40:06.159
and House Speaker Kevin McCarthy both described
yesterday's talks on the debt ceiling as productive,

1119
01:40:06.239 --> 01:40:11.039
but there's still no deal. That's
keeping the markets on edge. Futures

1120
01:40:11.079 --> 01:40:15.279
are lower across the board this morning. The DAW futures are down fifty six

1121
01:40:15.399 --> 01:40:18.359
points. Zoom Video says its business
has stabilized. Of course, a lot

1122
01:40:18.399 --> 01:40:25.239
of users departed as pandemic lockdowns eased, but now Zoom says consumer churn has

1123
01:40:25.279 --> 01:40:29.479
slowed. It's raising its outlook for
the year. Inflation still taking a big

1124
01:40:29.560 --> 01:40:33.399
toll on American households. The Federal
Reserve says just under three quarters of all

1125
01:40:33.439 --> 01:40:39.760
adults are at least okay financially.
That's down five percentage points from a year

1126
01:40:39.800 --> 01:40:44.960
ago, one of the lowest readings
since twenty sixteen. More big electric powered

1127
01:40:45.079 --> 01:40:49.279
sport utility vehicles will be hitting the
road soon. Ford CEO Jim Farley says

1128
01:40:49.359 --> 01:40:55.760
his company is developing a three row
electric vehicle that something Tesla doesn't yet offer,

1129
01:40:56.000 --> 01:41:00.399
and General Motors has announced plans to
introduce an electric version the Cadillac Escalade,

1130
01:41:00.720 --> 01:41:05.439
also a three row suv, and
Casey robots may one day take over

1131
01:41:05.520 --> 01:41:12.159
a job currently done by vehicle mechanics. A Michigan startup called Robotire, working

1132
01:41:12.199 --> 01:41:16.760
with Kawasaki Heavy Industries, has developed
a pair of robots that can rotate vehicle's

1133
01:41:16.800 --> 01:41:21.880
tires. Robot Tires founder says the
machines can do the job in eighteen minutes

1134
01:41:21.880 --> 01:41:28.000
flat, Casey flat, Is that
a pun? Oh no, actually not

1135
01:41:29.199 --> 01:41:30.840
all right, but that would have
been good. Yeah, Well that's who

1136
01:41:30.880 --> 01:41:34.319
I want rotating my tires. The
same people just tried to crash the stock

1137
01:41:34.399 --> 01:41:38.800
market. So awesome, Thanks,
appreciate it. Okay, have a good

1138
01:41:38.880 --> 01:41:43.439
day, take care of there you
go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News joining

1139
01:41:43.560 --> 01:41:45.880
us. All right, couple,
let me grab a call here real quick,

1140
01:41:46.239 --> 01:41:50.039
and then a couple quick stories.
Donna, what's up, Good morning,

1141
01:41:50.119 --> 01:41:56.720
Casey. Two things. If you
did what Hatchetman did, you'd be

1142
01:41:56.840 --> 01:42:02.159
called mega Republican radical or a Nazi. They might even find a Nazi flag

1143
01:42:02.239 --> 01:42:08.199
in your back pocket, or a
white supremacist. The other thing is that

1144
01:42:08.279 --> 01:42:14.560
the best predictor of future behavior is
past behavior in psychology, and letting him

1145
01:42:14.600 --> 01:42:16.560
out on the street, they'll be
saying, well, jeez, we don't

1146
01:42:16.600 --> 01:42:21.600
know why he buried a hatchet in
somebody's head. I mean, we've sent

1147
01:42:21.720 --> 01:42:26.239
him to the diversion program. Well, it was more about the fire,

1148
01:42:26.399 --> 01:42:28.800
but yeah, he made transition.
I think the hatchet was more of a

1149
01:42:28.880 --> 01:42:32.600
defensive weapon. But yeah, we'll
see how it goes. Absolutely. Yeah,

1150
01:42:33.079 --> 01:42:38.640
well don't you go doing it.
Well, if there's no consequences and

1151
01:42:38.840 --> 01:42:41.760
you know you're having a bad day, apparently that's all you need. So

1152
01:42:41.960 --> 01:42:46.039
thanks, we have a two tier
justice system. Don't forget Well, I

1153
01:42:46.199 --> 01:42:53.680
know, but still I strive for
equality and I want a quality and being

1154
01:42:53.720 --> 01:42:57.640
able to light people on fire and
chase him with a hatchet. I don't

1155
01:42:57.720 --> 01:43:00.319
want to do any of those things, but I want to have the option,

1156
01:43:01.039 --> 01:43:08.800
That's all I'm saying. Check this
out. Have you guys heard of

1157
01:43:08.920 --> 01:43:15.960
black Wolf? All? Right?
Ride sharing apps obviously Uber left cool with

1158
01:43:15.079 --> 01:43:19.920
that, right, So there's a
new one, a new one that is

1159
01:43:20.000 --> 01:43:27.520
launching and actually launching in New York
of all places, that will test over

1160
01:43:27.560 --> 01:43:31.319
the next four months to the viability
of their business model. It's Uber with

1161
01:43:31.560 --> 01:43:41.159
guns, yep. And actually they
had they've already the startup. It was

1162
01:43:41.279 --> 01:43:45.159
in Atlanta, so this will be
the test of their expansion. Currently they

1163
01:43:45.199 --> 01:43:47.760
have fifteen cars in the metro Atlanta
area. Now it's they're not breaking new

1164
01:43:47.840 --> 01:43:53.800
ground in the sense that you could
hire. You could hire people to,

1165
01:43:54.800 --> 01:43:59.680
you know, to defend you and
be armed. Friend of mine's wife is

1166
01:44:00.920 --> 01:44:03.680
she works for a corporation that requires
her to go to a lot of different

1167
01:44:03.760 --> 01:44:09.880
countries, and it's a kind of
a high profile position and you can bet

1168
01:44:09.960 --> 01:44:14.159
your butt that they got some Blackwater
style guys around her everywhere she goes.

1169
01:44:14.960 --> 01:44:18.600
However, for Joe Blow on the
street contracting, that isn't always that easy,

1170
01:44:18.640 --> 01:44:21.359
even though there's several places in North
Carolina. If you want to do

1171
01:44:21.479 --> 01:44:27.199
that, it's pretty pretty simple.
This would just incorporate an app, and

1172
01:44:27.439 --> 01:44:30.520
they hope to expand it so that
if you're let's you know, let's say

1173
01:44:30.520 --> 01:44:36.079
it's later at night, you're having
to go places and you're a little concerned

1174
01:44:36.520 --> 01:44:41.840
about maybe crime rates or the areas
that you're traveling. With the simple flip

1175
01:44:41.960 --> 01:44:45.119
of an app, instead of getting
your standard Uber, you can get a

1176
01:44:45.199 --> 01:44:54.560
guy who's seen some stuff. And
as training is, there's also stuff outside

1177
01:44:54.640 --> 01:44:58.159
this like GPS tracking, live streaming
technology, a bunch of stuff. It's

1178
01:44:58.159 --> 01:45:04.640
all about safety. It is more
expensive, obviously, it's fifty dollars and

1179
01:45:04.800 --> 01:45:11.239
then there's a small mile per mile
rate. But yeah, if you require

1180
01:45:11.359 --> 01:45:15.520
