WEBVTT 1 00:00:18.359 --> 00:00:21.600 All right, good morning everybody, and uh, yeah it's Monday, so 2 00:00:22.480 --> 00:00:34.719 yeah, but you know it's gonna not be near twenty mostly this week, 3 00:00:34.880 --> 00:00:37.439 so you know, we got a little upside there. We'll check in with 4 00:00:37.920 --> 00:00:43.479 race Agic coming up just a little later. Obviously, in the in the 5 00:00:43.520 --> 00:00:47.200 show, I wrote down that he's on. I forgot to write the time. 6 00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:50.479 What time is Dale faul Wells? He's seven o five eight five, 7 00:00:50.799 --> 00:00:53.880 eight oh five this morning. All right, So obviously, yes, state 8 00:00:53.960 --> 00:01:00.320 treasurer and gubernatorial candidate. We're gonna get it hit mostly on the well well, 9 00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.200 we're gonna bounce around, so uh he's gonna have to bring uh multiple 10 00:01:04.239 --> 00:01:07.359 hats. But that'll be an eight oh five. We'll get into that. 11 00:01:08.680 --> 00:01:19.000 Oh do do do do do? All right? Would you what would you 12 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:26.239 do this weekend? There there ross? Uh did you you and the family 13 00:01:26.359 --> 00:01:30.640 celebrate anything? Maybe on Saturday kind of uh party around the house. I 14 00:01:30.640 --> 00:01:34.239 don't think so well, I mean, how would you How do you not 15 00:01:34.439 --> 00:01:38.239 think so? Like, wouldn't you know if you celebrated know what you're talking 16 00:01:38.239 --> 00:01:47.000 about? So it was Saturday was uh it was the celebrate the success of 17 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:52.400 Vladimir Lenin day. So we did not celebrate that. Oh wow, wow, 18 00:01:52.480 --> 00:01:57.920 because I saw on on the socials, right, that was kind of 19 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.799 a popular thing to do because of you know, the communist utopia he was 20 00:02:02.799 --> 00:02:10.520 able to build there. The Democratic Socialists of America and several other groups decided 21 00:02:10.560 --> 00:02:15.639 Saturday that was gonna be a good use everyone's time. So that's what they 22 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:19.560 did. Man, They set out to remind folks on social media, and 23 00:02:19.599 --> 00:02:25.120 I got to tell you it went wonderfully, as you can probably imagine as 24 00:02:27.240 --> 00:02:30.919 it raises several questions, but arguably was the holiday of the week, so 25 00:02:30.960 --> 00:02:36.319 we'll have to get to that. So yeah, Dale fallwell eight oh five, 26 00:02:37.360 --> 00:02:43.520 the Kamala Harris claims the president has superpowers. Stop really, but it 27 00:02:43.719 --> 00:02:45.919 was kind of fun to watch, you know, the internet do what the 28 00:02:45.960 --> 00:02:52.080 internet does. And uh yeah, we're gonna have to just get ready because 29 00:02:52.400 --> 00:02:59.280 we're continuing down the primary road with kind of a big change on the Republican 30 00:02:59.360 --> 00:03:06.599 side of things. And it was just so weird how all of the DeSantis 31 00:03:06.599 --> 00:03:12.080 stuff was handled over the weekend. So yeah, yeah, gonna be a 32 00:03:12.120 --> 00:03:17.280 busy one, but let me do this since uh there we go was one 33 00:03:17.360 --> 00:03:22.759 to get the rest of those tweets to sit there and load LeVar Burton story 34 00:03:22.840 --> 00:03:30.039 is hilarious and uh, how did you not think No Pants Day was gonna 35 00:03:30.080 --> 00:03:35.000 go? Well? I mean, don't get me wrong, it failed on 36 00:03:35.199 --> 00:03:40.719 a level of an epic level, one that you know, frankly, I 37 00:03:40.719 --> 00:03:44.439 probably wouldn't have predicted because I've seen the one that they do in Philo. 38 00:03:44.439 --> 00:03:51.639 I haven't seen it, thankfully, But but whatever that was supposed to be, 39 00:03:52.039 --> 00:03:55.120 what a horrific day to be traveling around Phoenix with your kids on the 40 00:03:55.199 --> 00:04:02.479 light rail, because that's straight that got hijacked. Man, And very sad 41 00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:12.400 news about a story that we had from September September of last year from Mexico 42 00:04:13.000 --> 00:04:19.040 and Peru specifically where one video was filmed, but where one thing was discovered, 43 00:04:19.720 --> 00:04:24.480 and we'll have to we'll have to touch on that, all right, 44 00:04:24.839 --> 00:04:30.839 obviously the elephant in the room. I guess let's just go ahead and do 45 00:04:30.920 --> 00:04:38.399 this. Did you know the Detroit Lions have more NFC Championship appear a game 46 00:04:38.399 --> 00:04:46.639 of appearances than the Cowboys do this century? I wonder Staging knows that they 47 00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:54.399 have more NFC Championship appearances than the Cowboys do this century, which is a 48 00:04:54.439 --> 00:04:59.480 wonderful wonderful fact that I enjoyed discussing yesterday with two of my very best friends 49 00:04:59.519 --> 00:05:03.600 who are huge cowboy homers, and then they always do that, hey, 50 00:05:03.800 --> 00:05:08.319 we get the rings thing, but that was then what have you done for 51 00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:15.279 me lately? And that's what she had. So we'll talk about some elements 52 00:05:15.319 --> 00:05:18.439 of that game, a few other things, I'm sure as we get going, 53 00:05:18.560 --> 00:05:23.800 but we're just going to kind of bounce around. It's a a menagerie. 54 00:05:27.240 --> 00:05:31.639 We called him an azurie of stories, a cornucopia, just a weird 55 00:05:31.680 --> 00:05:41.120 assemblage from hard politics to poorly thought out, weird social promotions and of course 56 00:05:43.279 --> 00:05:49.079 vehicles who are all like Kit this And by the way, if you listen 57 00:05:49.120 --> 00:05:57.560 to this show and you're younger, Kit was the car I have to assume 58 00:05:57.680 --> 00:06:02.199 most people wanted. If you had to pick from your childhood cars that were 59 00:06:02.240 --> 00:06:10.480 involved in TV and movies, is it not Kit? And if you don't 60 00:06:10.480 --> 00:06:13.120 know what night Rider is, look it up. I'm sure it's some one 61 00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.800 of the streaming services. I'm trying to ross. Do you think there was 62 00:06:15.839 --> 00:06:18.920 a cooler car when we were a kid that you know you would want to 63 00:06:19.000 --> 00:06:24.000 have? I was trying to that or the General Lee. Well, you 64 00:06:24.040 --> 00:06:27.959 know what, the general they don't hear me out. Uh, the suspension 65 00:06:28.040 --> 00:06:32.560 system on that thing is amazing for anyone who's ever broke a tyrod just hitting 66 00:06:32.560 --> 00:06:39.560 a curve, but generally is not alive, do you know what I mean? 67 00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.160 My problem with Kit growing up was that he was the voice was English, 68 00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.680 yeah, and it was a putty yeah. And I but it's like 69 00:06:47.800 --> 00:06:50.839 that's your iPhone now, right, Like you can switch your eye, you 70 00:06:50.879 --> 00:06:56.639 can switch you make Syria British, dude. So it's like, I wonder 71 00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:00.639 if the point I'm making is Kit was so advanced, right, maybe that 72 00:07:00.759 --> 00:07:06.560 setting was there and that's what the Hoff wanted, And like what do you 73 00:07:06.560 --> 00:07:11.079 think Kit should have been though, Like, let's just be honest. He's 74 00:07:11.120 --> 00:07:16.720 a he's a Pontiac sports car. There's a little bit of a you get 75 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:20.000 a little bit of the General Lee vibe too. Like if you put a 76 00:07:20.000 --> 00:07:23.959 at least rider up in Wyoming where yeah, you know, we're a little 77 00:07:24.000 --> 00:07:28.600 redneck you out there. But if you put a General Lee and then you 78 00:07:28.639 --> 00:07:32.600 put Kit, but you put the base vehicles of what they were, people 79 00:07:32.600 --> 00:07:36.759 would be equally as excited. So are you are you implying the kits should 80 00:07:36.759 --> 00:07:44.160 have like a Southern accent, or like I hear you, But trying to 81 00:07:44.199 --> 00:07:46.480 think of any other any other vehicles of the era that I'm missing. I 82 00:07:46.519 --> 00:07:53.720 guess Herbie was out there, and you know Herbie's Herbie's alive. Oh, 83 00:07:53.720 --> 00:07:58.639 and then there's Stephen King's Christine. But I don't feel like you want that 84 00:07:58.759 --> 00:08:05.959 car. No, I think it would have to be kid Man. Well, 85 00:08:05.279 --> 00:08:11.000 anyway, one of my favorite lines was put out by the Washington Mass 86 00:08:11.120 --> 00:08:16.600 Transit whatever whatever people. For those of you in DC or who were passing 87 00:08:16.639 --> 00:08:20.839 through Reagan Airport, this may have been of interest to you. But once 88 00:08:20.879 --> 00:08:26.240 again, just like that suv that tried to murder everybody, but only murdered 89 00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:31.480 some people up in Wisconsin. Right that that s that out of control suv. 90 00:08:33.600 --> 00:08:37.279 Hell, apparently we got more of those on our hands. I'll explain 91 00:08:37.360 --> 00:08:43.720 coming up CaCO Day Radio program. All right, good good morning, and 92 00:08:43.519 --> 00:08:52.919 half being Monday. If brod such a thing when it didn't seem you and 93 00:08:54.120 --> 00:08:58.279 depending on where you are, not much more or even less. But you 94 00:08:58.320 --> 00:09:01.799 know, we got to get through this thing. And news news it was 95 00:09:01.840 --> 00:09:07.759 a happening. The the writing pretty much on the wall when the announcement was 96 00:09:09.159 --> 00:09:16.960 made that they were rescheduling Sunday slot appearances by Ron DeSantis. So on Saturday, 97 00:09:18.399 --> 00:09:20.159 he was supposed to appear on some of the Sunday at least what two 98 00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.000 of them. I believe he was gonna do two of them. And then 99 00:09:26.039 --> 00:09:28.960 he's like, now we're not gonna make the interview. And that's a really 100 00:09:28.000 --> 00:09:37.519 good indicator that sums up, and sure enough, DeSantis' DeSantis campaign has decided 101 00:09:37.559 --> 00:09:45.480 that they're going to suspend the campaign and indoors Donald Trump. I one thing 102 00:09:45.519 --> 00:09:50.039 it sounds and I'm just trying to piece this together because I saw Trump say 103 00:09:50.080 --> 00:10:01.200 something like he didn't take DeSantis phone call. Is I'm I'm a little unclear 104 00:10:01.240 --> 00:10:05.320 on that and the reporting that's the that's because that's what it's making it sound 105 00:10:05.440 --> 00:10:09.000 like. Or did he not take it at a particular time. I mean, 106 00:10:09.080 --> 00:10:13.879 I get that there was beef and then I saw Trump's like he's he's 107 00:10:13.960 --> 00:10:20.480 retiring sanctimonious. The whole thing is surreal to me, and I think to 108 00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:30.440 most normal people, right like, how do you go from that to do 109 00:10:30.679 --> 00:10:35.360 you know, stumping together? That's what I and it's not that that hasn't 110 00:10:35.360 --> 00:10:39.039 been a thing in politics. But this, this is a different kind of 111 00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:45.919 thing, right here, man, This is a different Remember the Ted Cruise 112 00:10:46.000 --> 00:10:52.279 thing is the best example of this. Hey, how how if your Ted 113 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:58.080 Cruz that you come out and stump for stump for Trump is beyond me considering 114 00:10:58.440 --> 00:11:07.039 the wife thing and the maybe your dad might have helped murder JFK like that, 115 00:11:07.039 --> 00:11:09.600 that all that blows my mind. But obviously there was no love loss 116 00:11:09.600 --> 00:11:18.279 between Trump and DeSantis, and most definitely between their supporters. And I thought, 117 00:11:18.559 --> 00:11:22.799 I thought, you know, maybe there would be that big transition on 118 00:11:22.360 --> 00:11:26.240 social in the same way that the two candidates are making it appear. But 119 00:11:28.399 --> 00:11:31.600 I was wrong. Now it's just Trump supporters going, see, I told 120 00:11:31.639 --> 00:11:35.600 you, see, I told you you're guys so stupid. And it's like, 121 00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:39.720 well, wait a sec, didn't Your guy wants his endorsement and he 122 00:11:39.799 --> 00:11:45.080 got it, So like, are you undermining the endorsement? All of it's 123 00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:50.159 so weird to me, And yet that's where we are. And Nikki Hayley, 124 00:11:50.240 --> 00:11:54.960 I guess is the you know, is it for now? And it 125 00:11:54.960 --> 00:11:58.440 doesn't sound like she's interviewing for a cabinet position, as Trump basically said that 126 00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:05.360 she has no timber, but things change so damn fast. I don't know, 127 00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:09.320 So let me be the first to ask this question, just having the 128 00:12:09.320 --> 00:12:18.480 benefit of being first in the lineup. This scenario that has caused several high 129 00:12:18.559 --> 00:12:24.600 profile individuals, including our own former governor Pat McCrory, to say that if 130 00:12:24.600 --> 00:12:31.720 this happens, then an alternative candidate will emerge, and whether that's Dean Phillips 131 00:12:31.799 --> 00:12:37.000 up in Minneapolis who sounds like he wants to go third party, or a 132 00:12:37.120 --> 00:12:41.679 laundry list that probably includes a couple of these Lincoln Project idiots on the Republican 133 00:12:41.799 --> 00:12:46.279 side, I don't know what that looks like. But the scenario they said 134 00:12:46.360 --> 00:12:52.440 that they would not let pass without a challenge was a Trump Biden rematch, 135 00:12:52.320 --> 00:12:58.360 and I don't know that that's ever looked closer to reality than it does right 136 00:12:58.399 --> 00:13:03.559 now. In fact, I would be now, what do you think the 137 00:13:03.600 --> 00:13:07.600 odds are on that? Because remember it's not just you know, I saw 138 00:13:07.679 --> 00:13:11.320 some people trying to handicap this, and like, you know, the chances 139 00:13:11.360 --> 00:13:15.080 are that there's gonna be these two unless Trump gets thrown in jail. And 140 00:13:15.120 --> 00:13:18.440 I'm like, all right, Like, I mean, if if we're just 141 00:13:18.480 --> 00:13:22.919 making a list of what IF's fine, we'll make a what if list? 142 00:13:22.240 --> 00:13:28.120 What if Joe Biden forgets to I don't know, breathe or you know what 143 00:13:28.159 --> 00:13:33.240 I'm saying, or they there is this this transit, this health transition, 144 00:13:35.519 --> 00:13:39.879 a more obvious one, yes, even more obvious than what you're dealing with 145 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.679 right now. Like I I don't I don't know what the percentage of that 146 00:13:43.799 --> 00:13:48.679 is. Here's what I do know. Are are you all ready for this? 147 00:13:48.879 --> 00:13:52.039 How do you think this is gonna go? I had, like, 148 00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:56.480 I got the polling, I get it, but there's like there's a billion 149 00:13:56.600 --> 00:14:03.759 years to election day. It's like two hundred and and just had to actually 150 00:14:03.759 --> 00:14:05.480 looked it up this morning so I could say this. And then I closed 151 00:14:05.480 --> 00:14:11.159 the window because I'm dumb, all right, So, uh, election day 152 00:14:11.519 --> 00:14:18.120 is to all right? Well whatever, Nope, I closed it all the 153 00:14:18.120 --> 00:14:20.799 way think two hundred and seventy some days or whatever. All right, And 154 00:14:22.240 --> 00:14:28.279 so is this what we is this what we we're excited about or terrified about? 155 00:14:28.600 --> 00:14:31.919 Or what do you think is gonna happen with the third party stuff? 156 00:14:31.960 --> 00:14:35.919 I mean, this is your first chance to speculate. I know it's early 157 00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:41.879 on a Monday, eight eight, eight nine three four seven eight seven four. 158 00:14:41.879 --> 00:14:46.399 You're not gonna vote for anybody. You're gonna You're gonna write and ross 159 00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:50.759 and then write king next to it, and soil and water super I mean, 160 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:58.480 what are you gonna do? Cause that is right now what both campaigns 161 00:14:58.480 --> 00:15:00.519 are gonna be doing. They're gonna be taking this. You know, they 162 00:15:00.679 --> 00:15:03.639 be checking the boxes, figuring out, all right, what's my percentage of 163 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:09.440 this, percentage of that, and they will go and well, you look 164 00:15:09.480 --> 00:15:16.360 at you look over in the Biden campaign already they're realizing that they're losing support, 165 00:15:16.440 --> 00:15:20.200 you know, the historically ninetieth percentile support in some places by black voters 166 00:15:22.120 --> 00:15:24.159 who feel like they've been deprioritized. And all you have to do is sit 167 00:15:24.200 --> 00:15:31.679 there and look at Chicago with black residents of Chicago and migrants, right, 168 00:15:31.919 --> 00:15:35.519 those are crazy. Those were crazy protests that folks were holding, and they 169 00:15:35.559 --> 00:15:45.240 were holding them in the shadow of Barack Obama's presidential Library grounds. So like, 170 00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:48.399 you got you got something cooking there, man, you got a little 171 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:50.840 problem, you got a little issue. And so that's what the campaigns are 172 00:15:50.840 --> 00:15:54.639 going to be looking at. But then you jam a third party person in 173 00:15:54.679 --> 00:16:03.600 there. So the likely scenario is is a rematch. Are you happy? 174 00:16:03.639 --> 00:16:08.679 What are you gotta do? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven 175 00:16:08.759 --> 00:16:12.639 four eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four and can get some 176 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:19.840 calls? All coming up right after your news one O six one FM Talk 177 00:16:21.200 --> 00:16:26.120 and ninety four to five w PTI, two stations driving the best end talk. 178 00:16:26.559 --> 00:16:33.360 This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News all right six thirty five 179 00:16:33.679 --> 00:16:40.840 and Good Morning kc O Day Radio program. So, uh yeah, with 180 00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:45.480 Ron DeSantis suspending his campaign over the weekend, and uh really, I mean 181 00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:53.399 the New Hampshire polling even before the DeSantis announcement for Nikki Haley, I mean, 182 00:16:53.519 --> 00:17:00.159 obviously I suspect you'd pick some up, but still it's it's looking more 183 00:17:00.200 --> 00:17:06.480 and more likely that it will be Trump Biden. And if that's the case, 184 00:17:06.519 --> 00:17:10.599 we've had individuals and groups say they're going to run third party candidates. 185 00:17:10.640 --> 00:17:15.079 We have independent third party candidates or in this case a Democrat threatening to be 186 00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:23.359 a third party in the case of Dean Phillips from Minnesota. So yeah, 187 00:17:23.440 --> 00:17:30.559 So I guess my question is what is that drive A will people be apathetic 188 00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:33.160 and they're just like, screw this noise. I'm not even going to vote 189 00:17:33.759 --> 00:17:41.519 or will it now people be so motivated that it surpasses even the turnout of 190 00:17:41.559 --> 00:17:48.480 the last time. What does it mean for you? Eight eight eight nine 191 00:17:48.559 --> 00:17:52.880 three four seven eight seven four. That'll get you on the show. We'll 192 00:17:52.880 --> 00:17:59.440 start with Jamal, Good morning, Jamal, what's up? Hello? Jamal? 193 00:18:00.319 --> 00:18:07.119 All right, well that's nice. Ron's am I having trouble with that 194 00:18:07.279 --> 00:18:11.119 phone? There He's going on there we go? All right, Ah, 195 00:18:11.640 --> 00:18:15.279 all right, Jamal. Sorry, it's Monday, so something's got to go 196 00:18:15.319 --> 00:18:18.759 wrong at some point immediately. What's say you, sir? Can you hear 197 00:18:18.759 --> 00:18:23.839 me loud and clear? Yes, yes, we can. Okay, Kasey, 198 00:18:25.440 --> 00:18:26.880 you know I'm a Trump support. I'm a dihod Trump support. You 199 00:18:26.880 --> 00:18:33.119 know I've been riding with Trump's s twenty fifteen. Rod Decantaz dropping out helps 200 00:18:33.119 --> 00:18:41.319 Trump more than it does Nicky Haley because with Donald Trump and with Ron Decontaz 201 00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.559 in a race, it's a lot of people who support Ron Decontez. Second 202 00:18:45.599 --> 00:18:52.519 truice is Trump. The majority is Trump. Nikky Haley was hoping he stayed 203 00:18:52.559 --> 00:18:56.000 in so she can continue to squeak back. I will never Nikki because of 204 00:18:56.039 --> 00:19:00.839 the neocom But and I want to say this, any Trump supporter who is 205 00:19:00.920 --> 00:19:07.720 not saying Trump Descentes twenty twenty four, it's crazy. Because President Trump, 206 00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:11.160 I love him to death. You know that. I've been supporting him, 207 00:19:11.559 --> 00:19:18.119 always have. But a lot of people were uncomfortable with the box Stock band 208 00:19:18.400 --> 00:19:25.960 and the COVID lockdown and the Fauci's out and doctor Fauci, you know, 209 00:19:26.079 --> 00:19:32.319 stuff like that. Ron Descenttez offers that, hey, that libertarian conservative. 210 00:19:32.720 --> 00:19:37.880 So for me, yes, he dropped out. Yeah, and he really 211 00:19:37.920 --> 00:19:41.759 didn't go out to Rondocentez like he did Ted Cruz. All he ever said 212 00:19:41.759 --> 00:19:47.200 about harand Decentz was he went on a campaign over shoe lifts. Man. 213 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:51.240 I mean, it's a different it's a different, it's a d it's a 214 00:19:51.279 --> 00:19:56.200 different nothing. And then there was the cancer stuff, like you know, 215 00:19:56.319 --> 00:19:59.319 he didn't go out to his wife. He didn't go out for rnder and 216 00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:06.680 Dead's wife like he did Ed Cruise. He just called Ted Cruizer's wife ugly, 217 00:20:06.920 --> 00:20:10.039 you know what I mean, Like, because again it's it's it's as 218 00:20:10.119 --> 00:20:15.519 oranges like our Arguably it's worse to imply that your father that your dad helped 219 00:20:15.559 --> 00:20:22.039 kill a president, also killed Kennedy. Yeah, here's my favor what DoD 220 00:20:22.079 --> 00:20:26.240 what the president Trump did when he came to Ron Decents, he recognized that 221 00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:32.599 Ron Descants is a governor who has done a lot and has been good, 222 00:20:33.119 --> 00:20:38.400 and that is a greater help to his ticket than ever before. Because remember 223 00:20:38.440 --> 00:20:42.920 in twenty sixteen election, a lot of Republicans didn't turn out because it was 224 00:20:44.000 --> 00:20:47.079 like, oh, they didn't like the way Donald Trump thought. Donald Trump 225 00:20:47.359 --> 00:20:55.240 in this twenty twenty fourth was more humble. He was more against other Republicans. 226 00:20:55.640 --> 00:21:00.599 He was more relaxed. He was more, Hey, I know y'all 227 00:21:00.640 --> 00:21:03.440 against me, but we you know, I'm gonna come out. I see 228 00:21:03.440 --> 00:21:07.720 a little bit, but I'm not gonna come after that bad. So I 229 00:21:07.960 --> 00:21:14.920 personally feel it should be wrong descent is as his VP because Ron descentaiz gives 230 00:21:15.000 --> 00:21:19.640 him that card that he needs. Other than Ted Cruz or Rampaul, those 231 00:21:19.640 --> 00:21:26.680 are the only two that can unite the Republican party to whether that never Trump 232 00:21:26.079 --> 00:21:33.039 is only eight to six percent that don't do nothing. You we have the 233 00:21:33.079 --> 00:21:36.839 first night debate well, and the first to be I want to be clear 234 00:21:36.880 --> 00:21:41.000 here though, the the the slice the slice that I that I don't know 235 00:21:41.319 --> 00:21:45.519 that I that concerns me is not the never trumpers. I think that it's 236 00:21:48.160 --> 00:21:51.599 we know pretty much what that is. But if I'm doing uh, you 237 00:21:51.599 --> 00:21:57.559 know, if I'm doing statistics for the Trump campaign and I'm watching I'm watching 238 00:21:57.759 --> 00:22:03.319 some real die I heard Trump supporters who are very active on social media posting 239 00:22:03.440 --> 00:22:07.720 crap like I saw over the weekend where they're telling Disantus people, good you 240 00:22:07.839 --> 00:22:12.240 traders, you're out, don't you know? You know what, you know 241 00:22:12.279 --> 00:22:15.240 what? That stuff's got to stop. If your Trump's campaign, you got 242 00:22:15.359 --> 00:22:19.039 to you gotta put the kaish on that man, you know what. Cac 243 00:22:19.480 --> 00:22:26.799 When I there are certain people on Twitter and on Facebook and YouTube, I 244 00:22:26.839 --> 00:22:30.119 will not go on their show. I will not share this stuff because of 245 00:22:30.200 --> 00:22:36.480 crap like that one. You want to you agree, you agree that that's 246 00:22:36.480 --> 00:22:40.599 a problem, right, okay, all right here totally one hundred. I 247 00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:45.440 cannot stand them. I don't care if they are Trump supporters, but these 248 00:22:45.480 --> 00:22:49.440 people are sick. I tell people, you cannot worship Donald Trump. You 249 00:22:49.480 --> 00:22:52.880 can love him, yes, you can support them, but when you saw 250 00:22:53.319 --> 00:22:56.720 some of this crap some of these people, some of these pictures, they 251 00:22:56.759 --> 00:23:03.880 doesn't show President Trump standing beside Jesus and all this I'm like, watch it. 252 00:23:03.079 --> 00:23:08.359 You playing blasphemy, you playing worship God. Don't like competition. I've 253 00:23:08.400 --> 00:23:12.880 had to tell so called Trump supports just like, what are you guys doing. 254 00:23:14.240 --> 00:23:17.720 You guys are going to make him fall? Stop me. I haven't 255 00:23:17.759 --> 00:23:23.680 had to sit there and stay that cac Yeah, you cannot stand them. 256 00:23:23.720 --> 00:23:27.160 I'm with you on the religious imagery, but I did enjoy watching Trump put 257 00:23:27.200 --> 00:23:32.920 on the boxer's body and the media doing, oh yeah, that's pretty cool. 258 00:23:33.160 --> 00:23:41.240 Now that's fun. Yeah yeah, but Brian Stelter's head explode. So 259 00:23:41.559 --> 00:23:45.079 but you know that's just all right, Jamal, I gotta, I gotta, 260 00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:47.799 I gotta, I got just real quick. I'm sorry. One last 261 00:23:47.799 --> 00:23:52.200 thing you wanted to say, we have to unite. It has to be 262 00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:56.319 a wrong. It has to be a Trump descent, a Trump Paul or 263 00:23:56.359 --> 00:23:59.799 Trump cruise. That's the only way when you unite the whole Republican Party. 264 00:24:00.119 --> 00:24:03.319 We beat your body, all right, Thank you, Jamal, appreciate the 265 00:24:03.359 --> 00:24:06.160 call. And also I saw people run around to go, well, it 266 00:24:06.200 --> 00:24:08.440 can't be just answers because they both live in the same state in this particular 267 00:24:08.480 --> 00:24:15.240 provision one. It doesn't doesn't mean it like that, but more importantly, 268 00:24:15.359 --> 00:24:18.480 like it's you can change residency. This is not a it's more on the 269 00:24:18.680 --> 00:24:22.960 on the nomination side and the delegates side. But I'm not going to get 270 00:24:22.000 --> 00:24:26.920 into all the complexity of it. But it's not really it's there, it's 271 00:24:27.000 --> 00:24:33.839 it's perfectly workable. But I don't know, man, it's I think that's 272 00:24:33.880 --> 00:24:37.119 a huge I think that's a huge problem. And it's you know, and 273 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:42.960 it's a it's a very contextualized, specific version of that problem where you're you 274 00:24:44.000 --> 00:24:47.839 know, you're alienating certain people out in the same way that you know, 275 00:24:47.880 --> 00:24:55.759 the Democrat Party is having to struggle with being uh yoked with the insane Palestinian 276 00:24:55.799 --> 00:25:02.680 protester folks right because you know, they're trying to walk that that tightrope. 277 00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:11.319 Man on on Friday, I'm going, I'm over I'm over by NC State 278 00:25:11.440 --> 00:25:15.839 University, by the Bell Tower where they got the big roundabout there. I 279 00:25:15.960 --> 00:25:21.640 was coming. I was down in Kerry meeting some friends at a restaurant down 280 00:25:21.640 --> 00:25:26.519 there, and I get done, so I'm driving back and I got right 281 00:25:26.559 --> 00:25:30.720 to the roundabout and I had come off Western and I can't remember what the 282 00:25:30.759 --> 00:25:34.519 name of that street is. But so I'm coming from the south that right 283 00:25:34.599 --> 00:25:38.759 to meet where it meets Hillsboro. The car in front of me enters the 284 00:25:38.880 --> 00:25:45.359 roundabout and stops, and you know you're supposed to keep moving once you've made 285 00:25:45.359 --> 00:25:48.759 the decision to enter, you should be able to free flow to wherever you're 286 00:25:48.799 --> 00:25:52.519 going. As much as I hate roundabouts, I know that. So I 287 00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:57.599 owner the roundabout because I see no traffic coming from the left, and obviously 288 00:25:57.599 --> 00:26:00.599 you're right, you're you're headed right. I see this guy stop, and 289 00:26:00.640 --> 00:26:03.920 I'm like, this is a moron who's never been in a roundabout. That's 290 00:26:03.960 --> 00:26:07.720 the thought that crosses my head. And then within about an eighth of a 291 00:26:07.759 --> 00:26:14.559 second, I realized I totally misjudged this dude in front of me. And 292 00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:22.039 the reason we all just screech to a halt is because twenty trucks loaded up 293 00:26:22.640 --> 00:26:26.480 just like you used to see with all the Trump flags at like multiple levels, 294 00:26:26.599 --> 00:26:30.640 like six of them on there. Like these trucks and a couple cars 295 00:26:30.720 --> 00:26:41.200 were in a high speed like presidential procession going westbound on Hillsboro Street, goetting 296 00:26:41.240 --> 00:26:47.039 to the roundabout, not stopping and by the way, not not slowing down 297 00:26:47.960 --> 00:26:53.519 any one micron less than they need to to not tip their vehicles not yielding 298 00:26:53.599 --> 00:26:57.160 right of way, damn near hitting the dude in front of me, causing 299 00:26:57.160 --> 00:27:00.799 me to think, screech up onto the side. There two other cars on 300 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:06.079 the other side, and they're doing their blowing through, their honking their horn 301 00:27:06.160 --> 00:27:11.279 with their flags, violating all of the traffic laws, but also creating an 302 00:27:11.319 --> 00:27:15.880 incredibly unsafe situation considering all it takes is one student who's had three beers to 303 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:19.680 walk out of you know, the old Mitch's front door there and get whacked 304 00:27:19.720 --> 00:27:26.079 with this flotilla of fools at another word, uh starts with a f for 305 00:27:26.160 --> 00:27:29.680 the flotilla, but I had to radio it, so that's the one you 306 00:27:29.759 --> 00:27:34.960 get. And I talked to a police buddy of mine because I called him. 307 00:27:36.000 --> 00:27:40.079 I'm like, dude, what the hell is going on with this? 308 00:27:40.160 --> 00:27:45.200 And he's like, that's the thing. They just keep making the loops doing 309 00:27:45.240 --> 00:27:48.920 all that stuff. Man. Well that you know, that's the balancing act 310 00:27:48.920 --> 00:27:53.000 that the Democrats are having too. And like, I got friends who are 311 00:27:53.400 --> 00:27:57.599 who vehemently disagree with most of my positions, but even they're like, oh 312 00:27:57.680 --> 00:28:00.920 my gosh, I did not want anything to do with this. Yeah, 313 00:28:00.960 --> 00:28:06.640 but did you realize it was such a significant chunk of people. That's why 314 00:28:06.680 --> 00:28:11.799 this thing's going to be wild, man like, because apathy in a way 315 00:28:11.039 --> 00:28:18.559 is an endorsement. Apathy is an endorsement in the same way that people are 316 00:28:18.559 --> 00:28:22.400 apathetic about Hillary. That that's something that the Democrats figured out. Now, 317 00:28:23.200 --> 00:28:26.079 I don't know how you would be excited about her, but you know, 318 00:28:26.200 --> 00:28:33.359 that's something you gotta do. And I wonder if that's going to be the 319 00:28:33.640 --> 00:28:36.480 big thing that we're having a look at this year. I don't know, 320 00:28:36.519 --> 00:28:41.079 what do you think eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four just 321 00:28:41.359 --> 00:28:47.279 blowing down Hillsboro Street. I mean, at least they weren't stopped in the 322 00:28:47.319 --> 00:28:49.119 street, So maybe this is like, you know, be careful what you 323 00:28:49.200 --> 00:28:56.119 wish for. But I was hot, man, I don't get I don't 324 00:28:56.119 --> 00:28:59.400 really get road ragey, but that. I don't know why that irritated me 325 00:28:59.599 --> 00:29:03.480 so much much, just blowing through there, And I guess maybe it's just 326 00:29:03.519 --> 00:29:08.480 that imagery. And also if it was a bunch of truck trumps Trump trucks, 327 00:29:08.920 --> 00:29:15.319 remember what happened when Trump trucks drove by the fair at the proper speed 328 00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:21.039 in the proper lane. Do you remember people just losing their mind when you 329 00:29:21.079 --> 00:29:22.880 have these Trump parades and they were calling it, you know, essentially this 330 00:29:22.920 --> 00:29:27.279 is hitler stuff. In well way, I didn't even got to the boats 331 00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:30.480 yet. You know, at least with the boats. I find that most 332 00:29:30.480 --> 00:29:33.839 of the people if you go into a marina, most of the people I 333 00:29:33.960 --> 00:29:38.400 deal with are not hardcore leftists, unless it's like a weird catamaran place. 334 00:29:38.519 --> 00:29:41.440 Not that I don't like catamarans, but you know what I mean. Like, 335 00:29:41.640 --> 00:29:45.079 you know, some hippies who got a cheap sail boat. They're going 336 00:29:45.119 --> 00:29:48.599 to go around the world while they film it for YouTube. Like most boat 337 00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.200 owners, at the very least, they may be Democrats, but they're not 338 00:29:52.759 --> 00:29:56.400 crazy because you know, mentally they have to associate with owning something that there's 339 00:29:56.480 --> 00:30:02.640 no physical, there's no fiscal reason you should buy unless you just like burning 340 00:30:02.720 --> 00:30:08.039 money. Oh but yeah, ross do you remember when, like they were 341 00:30:08.039 --> 00:30:12.119 writing op eds in New York Times, when one lady would view an American 342 00:30:12.160 --> 00:30:18.240 flag on a truck right and she was she it gave her an emotional response. 343 00:30:19.640 --> 00:30:23.640 That's that's the craziness that we're that we're dealing with. And I promise 344 00:30:23.720 --> 00:30:29.039 if it was Trump trucks doing that, twice the speed limit, running people 345 00:30:29.079 --> 00:30:34.680 off the road at roundabouts. I have a feeling the city of Raleig would 346 00:30:34.720 --> 00:30:41.599 crack down and quick and by the way, good drive around all you want, 347 00:30:41.680 --> 00:30:45.079 but you don't get to do that. All right, six forty eight, 348 00:30:45.119 --> 00:30:48.200 Hang on the show. After the show is on the iHeartRadio app. 349 00:30:48.440 --> 00:30:56.920 Search case O Day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All Right 350 00:30:56.960 --> 00:31:03.240 six fifty five and welcome back case O Day Radio program coming. I tweeted 351 00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:10.519 about this, tweeted about this at the at the end of the week. 352 00:31:11.720 --> 00:31:21.759 Basically on Friday, I am just hanging out eating some lunch on downtown at 353 00:31:21.799 --> 00:31:23.440 a restaurant in Raleigh. I'll tell you where I was. It was at 354 00:31:23.480 --> 00:31:29.920 Raleigh Times, and I'm in If you've been in there, they have like 355 00:31:30.160 --> 00:31:32.759 rooms, they have a bunch of rooms, so they have like the main 356 00:31:32.920 --> 00:31:37.039 bar restaurant, and then they have like more restaurant rooms and then pave it 357 00:31:37.119 --> 00:31:41.440 up so there's like five different places you can sit in there. And I 358 00:31:41.599 --> 00:31:45.519 needed I needed to do some stuff and then we had our we had like 359 00:31:45.599 --> 00:31:52.440 a like a team's thing. So I go in there and I wander into 360 00:31:52.480 --> 00:31:56.480 like one of the back rooms and kind of sit over in the back and 361 00:31:56.559 --> 00:32:00.680 set up cause I don't want to disturb anybody. I'm not really gonna have 362 00:32:00.759 --> 00:32:05.839 to talk, I hope on this thing, and I want to get my 363 00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:08.039 lunch. And so I go back there mine of my own business. I'm 364 00:32:08.079 --> 00:32:15.920 the only one in there. And I'm telling you this because I I didn't 365 00:32:15.160 --> 00:32:21.119 I don't ask for some things to happen. And about midway through, this 366 00:32:21.359 --> 00:32:25.079 table sets up and the whole room is open, and they set them right 367 00:32:25.160 --> 00:32:29.119 next to me, which, by the way, I've never understood that. 368 00:32:30.880 --> 00:32:34.960 How many times have you been into a restaurant and there's only like two or 369 00:32:34.960 --> 00:32:37.440 three tables. You walk in and there's fifty tables to choose from, and 370 00:32:37.480 --> 00:32:42.680 what do they do? They put you right next to the baby, and 371 00:32:42.720 --> 00:32:45.799 it's like you're looking around. Okay, it's not always a baby, but 372 00:32:45.880 --> 00:32:47.880 like it's always weird to me. I guess there's probably a restaurant reason. 373 00:32:47.920 --> 00:32:55.799 I don't know, and I can't help but hear the conversation because it's not 374 00:32:58.519 --> 00:33:04.400 it's it's a very quiet room and uh there's nobody's whispering. And it was 375 00:33:04.519 --> 00:33:08.079 just something that just really irritated and frustrated me. And it was a statement 376 00:33:08.079 --> 00:33:15.200 that was made and then agreed upon and and chortled over by one of the 377 00:33:15.359 --> 00:33:21.920 uh, one of the folks at the table who identified himself as a history 378 00:33:21.960 --> 00:33:29.119 teacher. That's that's the extent that I know and it but it was the 379 00:33:29.279 --> 00:33:34.839 larger point. It wasn't just about the individuals and uh. He was talking 380 00:33:34.880 --> 00:33:37.920 about something that a kid, one of his very young students, said to 381 00:33:38.000 --> 00:33:42.119 him, and it was just the way that it was described. And I 382 00:33:42.200 --> 00:33:45.920 understand it's you know, it's it falls a little into locker room talk because 383 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:50.200 people share work frustrations that in a way that you wouldn't do it in front 384 00:33:50.200 --> 00:33:53.920 of a client, but when you, uh, the client in this case 385 00:33:54.079 --> 00:34:01.960 is the is the public. And the recounting of the conversation with the kid 386 00:34:02.200 --> 00:34:07.480 just drove me nuts. And again, I don't even have kids. So 387 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:13.360 I'll share that with you, and there I have partial because the conference thing 388 00:34:13.400 --> 00:34:17.400 I'm on is also recording. So anyway, all right, we're on that 389 00:34:17.440 --> 00:34:40.679 in the moment. Good morning, everybody, and welcome it. He is 390 00:34:40.760 --> 00:34:45.320 seven oh six here on the CaCO day or Ado program, Monday edition. 391 00:34:45.480 --> 00:34:52.519 YadA YadA, I renumber two to orient you it's don't wear shorts outside that 392 00:34:52.679 --> 00:34:54.320 If that's how cool, we'll talk to Ray coming up later, or you 393 00:34:54.400 --> 00:34:59.920 can. I thought people walking around in shorts this week. I don't know 394 00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:04.800 what's up with that. But there was something else I saw this weekend and 395 00:35:05.159 --> 00:35:13.079 one it irritated me just so much, so much, And I think it 396 00:35:13.280 --> 00:35:16.239 also, as I have a chance to sit and kind of reflect on it, 397 00:35:16.280 --> 00:35:24.039 is we get lost in this debate when we're trying to justify something that, 398 00:35:24.239 --> 00:35:28.400 regardless of the outcome, if it's something that we want to do, 399 00:35:28.920 --> 00:35:31.800 we're going to rosey it up. And I think most everyone's guilty of that, 400 00:35:32.039 --> 00:35:38.000 right. Sometimes it's this little stuff like you know, like I have 401 00:35:38.079 --> 00:35:42.159 a different idea about how I should do something like this, and then like 402 00:35:42.360 --> 00:35:45.880 the maybe the route you're taking somewhere is not working, and your spouse is 403 00:35:45.920 --> 00:35:49.079 sitting there like wants to say I told you so, but they still love 404 00:35:49.119 --> 00:35:52.079 you, so they're not gonna and and you just kind of like, no, 405 00:35:52.320 --> 00:35:53.400 this is great. You know you're making the best of it, but 406 00:35:53.440 --> 00:36:00.320 everyone knows what's up. And then there is this where it is of a 407 00:36:00.360 --> 00:36:06.320 religious variety and it doesn't have to be organized religion but I mean the passion 408 00:36:06.400 --> 00:36:12.039 is so there that I feel like you're ignoring some important data points that are 409 00:36:12.119 --> 00:36:16.559 right in front of you. And so and I tweeted about this one was 410 00:36:16.679 --> 00:36:19.960 very interesting. Is it got a lot of traction, but it also got 411 00:36:19.960 --> 00:36:22.239 a lot of these accounts that you only ever see right around election time, 412 00:36:24.119 --> 00:36:32.719 spreading things that are not accurate. So I'm sitting there and I'm just trying 413 00:36:32.719 --> 00:36:37.400 to eat luck, I'm trying to do two things, eat lunch and be 414 00:36:37.519 --> 00:36:45.679 on a zoom style call. We use teams, but anyway, So and 415 00:36:45.800 --> 00:36:50.480 I specifically go and I have headphones right because I'm not that guy, and 416 00:36:50.719 --> 00:36:53.400 I'm not thinking that I have to talk other than just a couple things real 417 00:36:53.480 --> 00:37:00.440 quick. And so I'm sitting there doing all this. It's amazing. I 418 00:37:00.440 --> 00:37:02.880 love technology, and I'm doing it from a table in the back room of 419 00:37:02.920 --> 00:37:07.559 this restaurant. And lo and behold, this table gets set right next to 420 00:37:07.599 --> 00:37:12.519 me, which again some of your email. And they're like the reason that 421 00:37:12.559 --> 00:37:15.039 they do that when you walk into an empty restaurant, if there's only like 422 00:37:15.079 --> 00:37:16.599 three tables out of fifty, they'll all be next to each other is they 423 00:37:16.599 --> 00:37:22.400 may have one waitress. I get that, But can I have like a 424 00:37:22.440 --> 00:37:28.199 table of separation that would be great, right, Ah, But I digress. 425 00:37:28.760 --> 00:37:32.360 So I'm sitting there and I'm not in I'm not talking to those folks. 426 00:37:32.400 --> 00:37:37.000 I'm really not even paying attention to what they're saying, except my mind's 427 00:37:37.079 --> 00:37:43.440 drifting, drifting a little as I'm listening to a presentation portion of this thing 428 00:37:43.480 --> 00:37:49.719 that I'm on, and I can clearly hear them, and I hear something 429 00:37:49.760 --> 00:37:54.199 that just irritates me so much but also should be a learning moment one of 430 00:37:54.199 --> 00:38:00.719 the individuals. Oh and just to be clear, because I mentioned that there 431 00:38:00.760 --> 00:38:05.079 is recording, The reason that there is partial recording of some of this is 432 00:38:05.119 --> 00:38:12.119 because our teams meetings record and so when I have my mic open, it's 433 00:38:12.159 --> 00:38:16.480 picking up some of the audio. So because people are like, oh, 434 00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:22.000 you're secretly illegally recording people, no, I'm not. Unless every influencer posting 435 00:38:22.000 --> 00:38:24.599 a video of them looking at their meal going this is going to be so 436 00:38:24.800 --> 00:38:31.079 good, look at me is also doing that. The difference is is I'm 437 00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:34.760 not pointing a camera and I'm not sitting there trying to do that. I 438 00:38:34.800 --> 00:38:37.800 have an iPad, Okay, I have an iPad in front of me. 439 00:38:37.840 --> 00:38:42.079 I'm watching this thing and that's the reality of it. So just so we're 440 00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:46.559 clear here. And then I hear one of the individuals at the table who 441 00:38:47.199 --> 00:38:52.079 is talking about being a history teacher and specifically addressing a question from a young 442 00:38:52.239 --> 00:39:00.239 student, and the student the student came up to him and I don't know 443 00:39:00.320 --> 00:39:02.599 specifically what they were learning about. I'm assuming they had to do with Civil 444 00:39:02.599 --> 00:39:08.559 War, slavery, and you know, all of it. And he said 445 00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:13.119 that the kid was very troubled and came up and almost in tears, one 446 00:39:13.239 --> 00:39:20.599 to know why all of his family were bad people. Now here's the deal. 447 00:39:20.840 --> 00:39:25.000 I don't care whether you believe me or don't believe me. I did 448 00:39:25.039 --> 00:39:30.280 snap a photo though I did do that. I'm very childish, but I 449 00:39:30.360 --> 00:39:36.280 just wanted to have it so had the metadata all that on there. But 450 00:39:36.360 --> 00:39:38.920 it was the way that the question was answered, because I can understand where 451 00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:45.800 a kid who's trying to comprehend really complex stuff, even stuff that we don't 452 00:39:45.840 --> 00:39:50.639 disagree, should be absolutely taught. I think kids should should know about, 453 00:39:50.760 --> 00:39:53.920 especially living in the southern part of the US, should have a little working 454 00:39:54.000 --> 00:40:00.039 knowledge of that. You know, that era of our history. But it 455 00:40:00.239 --> 00:40:04.960 was the way not it wasn't just the response, but it was the way 456 00:40:05.000 --> 00:40:09.960 he was retelling how he responded to him, where he's he's laughing at the 457 00:40:10.039 --> 00:40:15.559 kid, right, and and within the group there they kind of gaggle up 458 00:40:15.599 --> 00:40:19.840 and they're like, wow, this is what happens when parents, you know, 459 00:40:19.920 --> 00:40:22.400 don't want us to add this is this is history, and this is 460 00:40:22.840 --> 00:40:28.360 and and it is kind of but kind of not like, how do you 461 00:40:28.480 --> 00:40:32.800 know what's up with that kid's relatives? And it spoke to more specifically this 462 00:40:32.800 --> 00:40:38.239 this concept of uh, you know, inherent you know, white privilege and 463 00:40:38.480 --> 00:40:45.800 racism and continued subconscious racism and trigger words and you could tell you're getting there, 464 00:40:45.840 --> 00:40:50.559 but also the idea that anybody who was in the southern United States, 465 00:40:50.559 --> 00:40:52.920 if this kid, I guess had relatives at the time, and again I 466 00:40:52.960 --> 00:40:57.719 don't know his family tree, is it fair too? Is it fair to 467 00:40:57.800 --> 00:41:00.440 him to be walking around and is it responsible teaching for him to be walking 468 00:41:00.480 --> 00:41:06.880 around with the impression that he and everyone who's ever come before him and his 469 00:41:06.920 --> 00:41:14.119 family tree are inherently bad people. Now this is anecdotal, And I was 470 00:41:14.239 --> 00:41:19.480 almost more more irritated with the with the callous kind of response, which may 471 00:41:19.519 --> 00:41:23.039 have been a little braggy for his you know, the folks he was eating 472 00:41:23.079 --> 00:41:27.480 with, but they thought it was funny. I did not think it was 473 00:41:27.480 --> 00:41:31.000 funny because I'm imagining this kid, and I'm like, is the kid like, 474 00:41:31.280 --> 00:41:35.360 here's where this works? Like is the kid's last name? Hitler? 475 00:41:35.639 --> 00:41:40.679 R? Right? That's that's the part that that gets me because as a 476 00:41:40.760 --> 00:41:46.559 history teacher, this guy knows a few things. One non participation by Southern 477 00:41:46.599 --> 00:41:54.960 states and individuals within the South did was not not met with consequences. So 478 00:41:55.239 --> 00:42:00.440 while yes, you had as you do, you had landowners, you had 479 00:42:00.480 --> 00:42:07.639 folks that owned a whole lot of other people who, through that ownership largely 480 00:42:07.719 --> 00:42:13.119 were able to be exempted from having to participate in combat, right because they 481 00:42:13.119 --> 00:42:15.960 had to be They had to be there to manage the production of the food 482 00:42:16.079 --> 00:42:20.719 and other stuff. So the more slaves you owned, the less responsibility you 483 00:42:20.760 --> 00:42:29.039 had to fight in you know, in combat. But also remember what happened 484 00:42:29.039 --> 00:42:32.480 in North Carolina during that time when other states were in and North Carolina wasn't. 485 00:42:34.800 --> 00:42:37.039 Essentially people were just passing through on both sides, taking what they wanted. 486 00:42:37.360 --> 00:42:44.320 In some areas, mandatory conscription happened and if you did not penalties up 487 00:42:44.320 --> 00:42:52.519 to and including death, and the majority of individuals who fought for the South 488 00:42:52.639 --> 00:42:57.960 did not own slaves. Chalk it up to the classic manipulation of the haves 489 00:42:57.960 --> 00:43:00.079 and have nots in the military service, or how you want to justify it 490 00:43:00.119 --> 00:43:06.239 with your own little scenario. But to not recognize that, and to have 491 00:43:06.320 --> 00:43:14.400 a student who's clearly distressed, clearly distressed over what he's learning and and the 492 00:43:14.400 --> 00:43:19.559 way he's processing it, was it your intention that he knows that him and 493 00:43:19.599 --> 00:43:25.119 everyone in his family are bad people. Now I wasn't privy to the conversation 494 00:43:25.199 --> 00:43:30.400 with the student, just the retelling of it, but it just made me 495 00:43:30.639 --> 00:43:37.480 so angry. And it made me angry because this is the net effect. 496 00:43:37.519 --> 00:43:39.840 This is what some people are concerned about saying. Look, I mean, 497 00:43:39.840 --> 00:43:45.840 this is you get this up in kids' heads and it's almost as if you're 498 00:43:45.880 --> 00:43:50.079 not providing any context or nuance or trying to get to the bottom of it. 499 00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:53.320 And that is roundly rejected. Oh, this is this is just basic 500 00:43:53.480 --> 00:43:59.559 history. Well, if it was basic history, I don't know if that's 501 00:43:59.599 --> 00:44:06.480 the way be coming back at your student unless you agree that the curriculum should 502 00:44:06.719 --> 00:44:12.719 end with the student feeling that way, and I and and to some extent, 503 00:44:12.760 --> 00:44:15.760 I'm guessing here, but I don't know what else I'm supposed to guess. 504 00:44:15.519 --> 00:44:19.000 And then there was a little conversation about you know, it's like, 505 00:44:19.119 --> 00:44:22.920 this is what happens when parents don't want this. You know, they don't 506 00:44:22.960 --> 00:44:24.199 want to teach, they don't want to teach history, they don't want to 507 00:44:24.239 --> 00:44:35.239 teach racism. These kids are doomed. I know that we have I know 508 00:44:35.320 --> 00:44:37.400 that we have teachers, We even have history teachers that listen to this show. 509 00:44:39.480 --> 00:44:45.159 And I am sorry you're surrounded with these individuals because now part of your 510 00:44:45.239 --> 00:44:52.559 job, especially as they age upwards, when you see that and you rightly 511 00:44:52.639 --> 00:44:57.599 recognize as somebody who does want to educate kids, but also wants to be 512 00:44:57.719 --> 00:45:04.159 there for to do so in a manner that is either great appropriate, Right, 513 00:45:04.199 --> 00:45:06.719 there's good. There's gonna be plenty of times when he's writing a you 514 00:45:06.760 --> 00:45:09.800 know, some sort of thesis for his doctorate to get into the real hard 515 00:45:09.840 --> 00:45:16.960 scrabble stuff. But a young an elementary age student who is who's convinced that 516 00:45:17.079 --> 00:45:24.039 his existence and his family's existence is a net negative. If you have curriculum 517 00:45:24.119 --> 00:45:29.199 churning that out and look, if you can say this kid's confused, then 518 00:45:29.360 --> 00:45:37.039 correct him. But you can't. You can't open up school choice all the 519 00:45:37.039 --> 00:45:43.480 way fast enough when I see stuff like that. So that's the gist of 520 00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:45.000 it. I tweeted many of you were interested, that's what it was. 521 00:45:47.079 --> 00:45:52.360 And again part of it was me, I'm going to sit on another zoom 522 00:45:52.400 --> 00:45:58.280 callar team's call. Uh. But also it was the response to it with 523 00:45:58.360 --> 00:46:01.159 the yeah, good, there's a little reaction Johnny, Yeah, your parents, 524 00:46:01.159 --> 00:46:05.119 your parents are going to teach you that because we just explained to you 525 00:46:05.159 --> 00:46:12.559 everybody, Yeah, you guys all suck. And the only out there was 526 00:46:12.719 --> 00:46:15.880 like, you know, it's Johnny Mangela or something. But I didn't get 527 00:46:15.920 --> 00:46:20.440 that impression. I think it was more of a blanket thing. And I 528 00:46:20.480 --> 00:46:22.760 don't know who the kid was, and I don't know where the guy taught 529 00:46:22.760 --> 00:46:24.880 either. It was in the middle of the day, but I think it 530 00:46:25.000 --> 00:46:29.599 also it sounded like they had been at something there was a teacher training thing 531 00:46:29.679 --> 00:46:36.199 or whatever. But that's that's the attitude. And then the responses I get 532 00:46:36.199 --> 00:46:43.440 there on the Twitter are like, oh, well, oh, well, 533 00:46:43.840 --> 00:46:45.920 you know this is uh, they don't you know they don't teach the critical 534 00:46:46.000 --> 00:46:51.559 race theory, and and like people are bringing receipts too, Like there's some 535 00:46:51.639 --> 00:46:54.960 there's some folks on Twitter who are like within the education system that are pointing 536 00:46:54.960 --> 00:47:02.960 out curriculum items that are meant to introduce those kinds And you know me, 537 00:47:04.159 --> 00:47:07.599 I'm like, teach history, but teach all of it and teach it where 538 00:47:07.599 --> 00:47:13.039 appropriate. There's things you're going to have to be in high school to really 539 00:47:13.079 --> 00:47:19.480 comprehend the details of what's going on. And so when you're in elementary you're 540 00:47:19.480 --> 00:47:23.079 doing I understand it's going to be broader, but you can't lean in on 541 00:47:23.079 --> 00:47:30.360 one thing when obviously you're churning out those results. And then you do not 542 00:47:30.440 --> 00:47:38.360 recognize that an eight year old who thinks that their entire self being, which 543 00:47:38.559 --> 00:47:44.559 it's self worth, which is formulating right now, is derived of evil. 544 00:47:45.320 --> 00:47:49.320 That's where I draw the line. All right, seven nineteen here on the 545 00:47:49.360 --> 00:47:54.480 CaCO Day radio program, maybe you're angry because you didn't say something when you 546 00:47:54.800 --> 00:47:57.880 what did you want me to do? You want me to go? What? 547 00:48:01.480 --> 00:48:05.360 That's because I saw somebody else put it, what do you want me 548 00:48:05.360 --> 00:48:07.320 to do? You want me to go? Hey? Hey, Sorry, 549 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:09.400 I'm just sitting over here trying to do this thing. You're an a hole, 550 00:48:09.440 --> 00:48:15.119 and here's why that Just then I'm out of the restaurant and that guy. 551 00:48:15.159 --> 00:48:20.840 You're not going to change that guy's mind. It's far more powerful to 552 00:48:20.920 --> 00:48:25.519 sit here and relay this to you in an anecdotal fashion, because I know 553 00:48:25.559 --> 00:48:30.920 that there are people within the education system that these are things that they now 554 00:48:31.000 --> 00:48:35.679 have to confront. If you're the next teacher in line, and you actually 555 00:48:35.760 --> 00:48:45.039 care about your students and specifically your students' mental health and well being, now 556 00:48:45.039 --> 00:48:47.159 you got to undo some of that damage. And the same way the gal 557 00:48:47.239 --> 00:48:51.039 I used to day do top maths, she'd get kids in there didn't know 558 00:48:51.079 --> 00:48:55.480 the numbers, like you know what primary number was, and she's like, 559 00:48:55.519 --> 00:48:59.519 how did you get passed up? To me? Right? This is something 560 00:48:59.519 --> 00:49:04.000 that good educator struggle with. And this this strikes me as one more thing 561 00:49:04.039 --> 00:49:12.280 in there, and it was. It's one of those I get. It's 562 00:49:12.320 --> 00:49:15.440 one of those things that makes me glad I don't have kids, as horrible 563 00:49:15.480 --> 00:49:20.679 as that sounds, and I actually like kids. I mean not when they're 564 00:49:20.679 --> 00:49:23.480 throwing pancakes and there two, but you know, whatever it comes with it, 565 00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:28.239 but I don't want to. I don't want to see anyone's kid treated 566 00:49:28.320 --> 00:49:35.400 that way. And whether and and remember, so much of this is bore 567 00:49:35.880 --> 00:49:47.880 from d the dehumanization of individuals, and and we as a society moving to 568 00:49:49.920 --> 00:49:52.880 not have that be a thing, right, so that no guy is so 569 00:49:53.039 --> 00:49:58.199 nobody's got to stand there with a fire hose near them in the nineteen sixties 570 00:49:58.239 --> 00:50:01.599 holding a sign that says I am a man. Right, We roundly reject 571 00:50:01.639 --> 00:50:08.239 that. We don't want that. And that's why it's so important that if 572 00:50:08.280 --> 00:50:14.039 you think, if you see things swinging a different way out of like political 573 00:50:14.119 --> 00:50:20.320 necessity, that's why people are passionate. That's why they're concerned. And I 574 00:50:20.320 --> 00:50:23.000 hope that kid's okay, and I hope that you know, the next teacher 575 00:50:28.519 --> 00:50:32.000 cares about the emotional well being of their students. And I can hear people 576 00:50:32.119 --> 00:50:36.679 right now going, well, look, sometimes the truth hurts. And again, 577 00:50:37.239 --> 00:50:42.760 show me, show me the kids. You know family tree and how 578 00:50:42.880 --> 00:50:45.599 is you know it's a Bedford Forrest's nephewers. So you know what I'm saying, 579 00:50:46.400 --> 00:50:50.599 Because if you're just going to broadbrush and broad stroke, you're doing the 580 00:50:50.599 --> 00:50:52.599 same stuff. I know that you've heard this. You're doing the same stuff 581 00:50:52.599 --> 00:50:59.599 that this teaching is purported to want to counteract. So anyway, eight eight 582 00:50:59.639 --> 00:51:05.679 eight nine three four seven eight seventy four, will be back. This is 583 00:51:05.719 --> 00:51:08.599 one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk ninety four to 584 00:51:08.599 --> 00:51:16.519 five w PTI and the Triad. All right, seven thirty five and welcome 585 00:51:16.519 --> 00:51:20.800 back Pcoday Radio program. All right, Well that was the emails. I 586 00:51:20.840 --> 00:51:24.360 expect it. You know, I can just sit on here and just stream 587 00:51:24.400 --> 00:51:30.199 about one individual. But it's it's not about that. It's it's that I 588 00:51:30.280 --> 00:51:36.719 don't want that level of callousness existing in the shaping of young minds. And 589 00:51:36.920 --> 00:51:40.400 also I understand that people get jaded on stuff, and also people when they're 590 00:51:40.920 --> 00:51:46.079 talking to their friends may not be one hundred percent truthful in the way that 591 00:51:46.119 --> 00:51:52.800 they retell a story. But that's why I brought it up, because I 592 00:51:52.880 --> 00:51:55.920 just I don't want that to be anywhere in there and this in the state. 593 00:51:57.039 --> 00:52:01.679 I don't want any teacher to think any student is boomed unless there is 594 00:52:01.719 --> 00:52:09.480 an individualized reason, okay, and an individualized reason is not a disagreement in 595 00:52:09.519 --> 00:52:14.599 the parents wanting certain topics to be taught at a certain time in a kid's 596 00:52:14.639 --> 00:52:19.760 life and they can be taught with specific it. With specificity, we'll use 597 00:52:19.840 --> 00:52:27.119 that word. I went to school with a kid who was a direct traceable 598 00:52:27.159 --> 00:52:32.440 descendant of Benedict Arnold, and I think we were in like sixth grade when 599 00:52:32.679 --> 00:52:37.480 somehow, I don't remember how they figured it out, or say his father 600 00:52:37.519 --> 00:52:40.199 figured it out or whatever. And then a teacher like used it as a 601 00:52:40.239 --> 00:52:45.400 teachable thing, but like but in context, like and I that was never 602 00:52:45.599 --> 00:52:49.840 like we made jokes at him because he was kind of in our he was 603 00:52:49.880 --> 00:52:52.199 on the football team, but he was also in our like our little friend 604 00:52:52.239 --> 00:52:57.159 group for a while. He ended up moving maybe to Britain, I don't 605 00:52:57.199 --> 00:53:01.440 know, No, he moved to Sheridan. But like that's a that's a 606 00:53:01.519 --> 00:53:08.000 specific, teachable, individualized, contextual thing, and that's cool. I would 607 00:53:08.000 --> 00:53:14.199 find that fascinating. I have, like, we have a couple relatives that 608 00:53:14.320 --> 00:53:16.239 are of note in uh, you know, if you look at some of 609 00:53:16.280 --> 00:53:22.519 these settle settling of the West accounts, especially the journals out of Fort Foucarney, 610 00:53:22.280 --> 00:53:29.400 like that's as close as we got. But that's fine, that's fine, 611 00:53:29.440 --> 00:53:31.199 And so like it's one thing to teach and I'm gonna get to the 612 00:53:31.239 --> 00:53:36.039 calls here. I know I'm ramblin, but I just I don't want that 613 00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:40.159 attitude anywhere near kids. I don't want anywhere near them. I don't want 614 00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:45.079 anything that is a is a hindrance. And I don't mean that from a 615 00:53:45.079 --> 00:53:49.000 helicopter standpoint. Right, You've gotta have to face adversity and challenges, so 616 00:53:49.000 --> 00:53:52.000 you have to set standards and you have to have expectations. I told you, 617 00:53:52.039 --> 00:53:55.159 the least favorite phrase my mom used to say to me that would get 618 00:53:55.159 --> 00:54:00.760 me every time was consequences for your actions because I knew she was right, 619 00:54:00.039 --> 00:54:06.960 but teenage Meetia would never admit that. But I, you know, I 620 00:54:06.960 --> 00:54:12.039 feel like I'm a better person for that. So that's that's why we bring 621 00:54:12.079 --> 00:54:15.639 this stuff up. This is not me knocking on teachers, which I battle 622 00:54:15.679 --> 00:54:19.119 with because in dating the teacher as long as I did, like a big 623 00:54:19.199 --> 00:54:22.719 chunk of our friend group was colleagues, young and old, and I would 624 00:54:22.760 --> 00:54:28.119 say that you know they were they were politically spread, and most of them 625 00:54:28.159 --> 00:54:30.559 were pretty apolitical. Like when they talked to me what I did for a 626 00:54:30.599 --> 00:54:34.760 living, they wanted to talk about the sports aspect of it, and I 627 00:54:34.760 --> 00:54:37.920 felt that they were genuinely in it, but they, you know, to 628 00:54:37.920 --> 00:54:44.840 to be teachers. They enjoyed doing what they're doing. So that's not my 629 00:54:44.960 --> 00:54:51.440 goal. But my goal is to eradicate the same attitude that permeated public education 630 00:54:51.679 --> 00:54:58.679 decades ago that we decided we needed to work on and not allow that to 631 00:54:58.719 --> 00:55:01.480 swing way too far the other way. All right, Sharon, thanks for 632 00:55:01.519 --> 00:55:07.079 hanging on. You're up next, Go ahead, Sharon Kasey. I was 633 00:55:07.159 --> 00:55:16.039 calling to remind you that the teachers that we have are products of the education 634 00:55:16.320 --> 00:55:25.960 system in the last two or three decades, and the process of re educating 635 00:55:28.679 --> 00:55:38.159 the American people has produced a teacher who believes what this particular history teacher was 636 00:55:38.239 --> 00:55:44.760 telling. I don't know if they were other teachers, but they believe it. 637 00:55:44.840 --> 00:55:52.960 And we have to understand that they have graduated from this system and they 638 00:55:52.000 --> 00:55:59.719 are now teaching our children. We have parents who have graduated under this system 639 00:56:00.079 --> 00:56:06.639 and they are raising their children according and so, I you know, it's 640 00:56:06.840 --> 00:56:10.840 it's not what I want, it's not what you want, but we we 641 00:56:12.039 --> 00:56:17.679 have a really serious issue with this, and uh, it's a rewriting of 642 00:56:17.760 --> 00:56:27.199 our history. So you know, they believe what they are saying our teachers 643 00:56:27.280 --> 00:56:30.880 do. Now, I do agree with you that they're meant. I'm sorry, 644 00:56:31.239 --> 00:56:34.039 I want to get on to your other point, but I want to 645 00:56:34.079 --> 00:56:37.000 ask you something on this. What did okay, what subject and age did 646 00:56:37.000 --> 00:56:43.800 you teach? Well? I taught from second grade all the way through the 647 00:56:43.840 --> 00:56:49.519 seventh grade at vary in various ways, so you know, I at the 648 00:56:49.559 --> 00:56:52.480 gamut. Yeah, what what subject mattered? Did you do? History? 649 00:56:53.119 --> 00:57:00.360 Because I did? I did? I did. I agree that it's second 650 00:57:00.360 --> 00:57:07.159 grader and a seventh grader learning about World War Two. There would be very 651 00:57:07.159 --> 00:57:13.599 different syllabus for that, right because one second, yeah, okay, yes, 652 00:57:13.760 --> 00:57:16.320 that's literally that's like the small thing I'm asking for in this situation. 653 00:57:16.480 --> 00:57:21.119 So I'm sorry. What was your other point, man? Well, the 654 00:57:21.280 --> 00:57:30.039 point is that our history has been rewritten, and it's there are people trying 655 00:57:30.079 --> 00:57:32.639 to show us that it has been. Of course, they're having a hard 656 00:57:32.679 --> 00:57:42.000 time getting through, you know, as far as informing the American people that 657 00:57:43.079 --> 00:57:49.480 this. I mean seriously, there they are rewriting history, and they are 658 00:57:50.320 --> 00:57:59.559 concentrating on certain things, and there's a lot of social justice activism that's going 659 00:57:59.639 --> 00:58:07.119 on, and it you know, I just need I just need to remind 660 00:58:07.239 --> 00:58:15.559 you that the teachers who are coming out of these universities and colleges are are 661 00:58:16.920 --> 00:58:30.239 they have learned the way that the these professors are are you know, teaching 662 00:58:30.280 --> 00:58:32.559 them history. Well let me let me just say this just because I got 663 00:58:32.599 --> 00:58:36.760 to do weather here in just a moment sharing. But yeah, there are 664 00:58:36.760 --> 00:58:38.639 a lot of there are a lot of the group of teachers I just talked 665 00:58:38.639 --> 00:58:42.360 about. This wasn't that long ago. This was in the mid two thousands, 666 00:58:42.480 --> 00:58:45.440 so the most of them are are probably less than five years into their 667 00:58:45.480 --> 00:58:49.679 career, and half of them wouldn't end up being there after that because of 668 00:58:49.719 --> 00:58:52.159 the way the union stuff works in Minnesota, and it's crazy, and they 669 00:58:52.159 --> 00:58:59.360 couldn't get tenure and but whatever. They they all were products. Most of 670 00:58:59.360 --> 00:59:02.559 them went to the same university that my girlfriend at the time did, and 671 00:59:02.760 --> 00:59:07.559 it was pretty liberal, and yet most of them rejected that right they they 672 00:59:07.760 --> 00:59:10.760 they had their own mindset. It was like anybody else. It was. 673 00:59:10.840 --> 00:59:14.679 It was it's much more complex. So I don't want to give up hope. 674 00:59:15.400 --> 00:59:20.360 I just want to pick out individual things and recognize that you're right it. 675 00:59:21.199 --> 00:59:24.920 The more the more that you infiltrate the education of those who will then 676 00:59:25.079 --> 00:59:30.440 educate the more likely they are to expouse what you're telling them. I don't 677 00:59:30.440 --> 00:59:31.360 disagree, Sharon, I got to I got to go to break, But 678 00:59:31.400 --> 00:59:35.880 I really appreciate you calling in. Okay, Okay, thank you for that. 679 00:59:36.639 --> 00:59:38.360 Yep. Yeah, sure, it's not wrong, but I wreck you 680 00:59:38.400 --> 00:59:45.119 know, people think for themselves, and to me, it's just like if 681 00:59:45.159 --> 00:59:49.599 I knew that the net effect of what what I was doing and thinking was 682 00:59:50.320 --> 00:59:52.440 a student believing this, and it was more than one student. Right, 683 00:59:53.239 --> 00:59:57.519 they may there's I will I will leave open that there's some context and maybe 684 00:59:57.559 --> 01:00:00.880 I didn't hear I would take a hard look at what I'm doing because I 685 01:00:01.280 --> 01:00:06.800 don't want any kid walking around like that. So I don't want any kid 686 01:00:06.800 --> 01:00:09.119 walking around period today because they'll freeze to the pole when they try to like 687 01:00:09.159 --> 01:00:13.360 it, just like in that movie what are you doing? Man? Stop 688 01:00:13.400 --> 01:00:15.880 this sillyness. It's almost gone. They'll be gone soon. One more morning, 689 01:00:16.000 --> 01:00:21.199 just this morning. That's gonna get mild. There is ross okay right 690 01:00:21.480 --> 01:00:22.960 here today we're in a fun fact today, by the way, you want 691 01:00:23.000 --> 01:00:27.159 to hear it, yeah, sure, go ahead. Did you know that 692 01:00:27.199 --> 01:00:32.280 the Detroit Lions have more NSC championship games than the Cowboys do this century. 693 01:00:34.119 --> 01:00:39.800 That is hilarious because my daughter actually just sent me that Sorry, she just 694 01:00:39.840 --> 01:00:45.280 sent me that same exact Thank Dallas our longest droughts of not making the NBFC 695 01:00:45.440 --> 01:00:51.480 title game, Washington Commanders and the Dallas Cowboys. Hey, I have a 696 01:00:51.519 --> 01:00:53.599 serious question though, Why are you guys keep the McCarthy man? Why why 697 01:00:53.639 --> 01:00:59.920 do you hold on to that dude? I think at this point, I 698 01:01:00.159 --> 01:01:06.079 think he and Dak right off into the sunset together. That's what I would 699 01:01:06.119 --> 01:01:09.440 do. I would say, let's not give Dak the big increase, and 700 01:01:09.519 --> 01:01:13.880 he probably who knows what's gonna happen. And I think they say, all 701 01:01:14.000 --> 01:01:16.119 right, this year was supposed to be it, but guess what next year? 702 01:01:16.119 --> 01:01:22.199 We really mean it? Ninth ninth times the charm, twenty eight times 703 01:01:22.239 --> 01:01:27.039 the chart ross here, he's okay, he's dealing what he's dealing with? 704 01:01:27.079 --> 01:01:30.519 Computer issue right now? Oh yeah. Well. The first thing I thought 705 01:01:30.559 --> 01:01:36.199 of was I'd say, why you forget it's Monday in a radio station. 706 01:01:36.360 --> 01:01:42.360 Everything's up highre everything's yeah, exactly from the wheel that'll yes fire outside it 707 01:01:42.440 --> 01:01:47.480 will right cold.

Good looking day for January day, 710 01:01:57.480 --> 01:02:00.840 and then the rest of the week is kind of yeah, as clouds increase. 711 01:02:00.920 --> 01:02:05.039 It'll be much milder Tomorrow morning near thirty, but near fifty. Tomorrow 712 01:02:05.079 --> 01:02:07.639 afternoon. It might be a little rain, but the better chance will come 713 01:02:07.639 --> 01:02:10.039 in Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, scattered showers around, maybe even a couple 714 01:02:10.039 --> 01:02:15.400 of thunderstorms. Listen to these high temperatures on Wednesday, load of mid sixties, 715 01:02:15.880 --> 01:02:22.760 but by Thursday and Friday we could be around seventy degrees. Seventy degrees. 716 01:02:22.880 --> 01:02:24.079 I mean, we are gonna have the rain element to it, but 717 01:02:24.519 --> 01:02:28.679 it doesn't look like all rain, more like showers. The heaviest rain right 718 01:02:28.679 --> 01:02:30.800 now. It's like stay west, yeah, not bad. Okay, all 719 01:02:30.920 --> 01:02:35.039 right, well we'll chat the next hour, sir.

All right, good morning soon, MP June at 729 01:03:22.480 --> 01:03:28.559 ODA radio program. Oh dude, yeah, if you're sending Ross sniders talking 730 01:03:28.679 --> 01:03:31.280 something off there. They call them food truck rodeos, which alwayshund was the 731 01:03:31.320 --> 01:03:34.800 dumbestad. Yeah, I've never seen it before, but it sounds it looks 732 01:03:34.800 --> 01:03:37.199 like it's going to be really cool. But I don't mind food truck. 733 01:03:37.199 --> 01:03:39.039 It's like, you know, give me delicious food. I'm kidding with that. 734 01:03:39.119 --> 01:03:42.639 Yeah, they called it a food truck rodeo. So I had like 735 01:03:42.800 --> 01:03:45.760 major car issues driving into work this morning at like four in the morning, 736 01:03:45.840 --> 01:03:49.719 which so at first, segond it took forever for the car to the frost. 737 01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:52.679 Then the radio wouldn't work, like this is really weird, just would 738 01:03:52.800 --> 01:03:54.880 work. They would turn on, but there was no signal in the station. 739 01:03:55.079 --> 01:03:59.199 Some driving in then whenever I would stop at a red light, don't 740 01:03:59.239 --> 01:04:00.079 wait, hold on, hold on, dude, do you ever see the 741 01:04:00.079 --> 01:04:05.280 movie Michael Clayton, I have not Okay. In Michael Clayton George Clooney, 742 01:04:05.840 --> 01:04:09.599 he gets in his car and his radio won't work and it's because they put 743 01:04:09.639 --> 01:04:11.679 a car bomb in there. But then he gets out to look at some 744 01:04:11.840 --> 01:04:15.280 horses and then the bomb explodes and doesn't kill him. So spoiler, So 745 01:04:15.599 --> 01:04:19.880 like you know, just saying that, like it's probably good you didn't see 746 01:04:19.920 --> 01:04:25.519 that movie anyway, So the radio's not working and then you're off and then 747 01:04:25.599 --> 01:04:28.480 what well no, So then I'm stopped at like red lights on a cap 748 01:04:28.639 --> 01:04:30.719 no and falls a noose in Atlantic, And every time I would accelerate like 749 01:04:30.840 --> 01:04:33.400 it would like sputter, like it was gonna stall out, but then it 750 01:04:33.400 --> 01:04:39.679 would go. Then I drove to the radio station, the power steering when 751 01:04:39.719 --> 01:04:42.920 I stopped and like tried to go like froze up, and then the braid 752 01:04:43.039 --> 01:04:46.719 the ones they started, Like once I restarted the vehicle, the radio started 753 01:04:46.760 --> 01:04:50.599 working again. So I drove around the parking lot a few times. Seems 754 01:04:50.679 --> 01:04:55.679 fine, but like I'm super stressed about getting home like it's not like the 755 01:04:55.760 --> 01:04:59.480 cost of the possible repair, right, No, it's getting stopped or like 756 01:04:59.599 --> 01:05:01.840 stalling out and being like stranded at a red light. So I'm like super 757 01:05:01.920 --> 01:05:05.480 stressed about getting home today. Yeah, I'm sorry. But it was also 758 01:05:05.559 --> 01:05:09.599 like sixteen or seventeen degrees that when I left the house and it hadn't been 759 01:05:09.679 --> 01:05:12.320 like driven since like Friday, and I do need an oil change I was 760 01:05:12.320 --> 01:05:15.360 going to be getting today, So that's fun. You know, I've never 761 01:05:15.480 --> 01:05:20.440 been a mechanic, right, but like when I was in high school, 762 01:05:20.599 --> 01:05:24.039 like we all had, we all had, you know, it was forord 763 01:05:24.079 --> 01:05:27.400 Er Chevy basically, but it was the standard setup. So like Chevy, 764 01:05:27.480 --> 01:05:30.039 it was three point fifty at a four barrel carb on the one that I 765 01:05:30.239 --> 01:05:35.599 had, But like I could, I could. I changed a transmission with 766 01:05:35.679 --> 01:05:40.639 a friend when I was fourteen. Now granted we had access to like hoists 767 01:05:40.679 --> 01:05:42.760 and stuff. Right, I know where you're going with this because now you 768 01:05:43.199 --> 01:05:45.880 open up you look under the hood and you're like what am I looking at? 769 01:05:45.239 --> 01:05:48.360 I'm like, where is the right dude? Remember that? Remember that 770 01:05:48.480 --> 01:05:53.880 BMW that I had when I was doing the BMW endorsement. So the craziest 771 01:05:53.920 --> 01:05:57.400 thing there is. I went to and I remember reading where it was. 772 01:05:57.639 --> 01:06:02.519 But then there was a day when somebody needed a jump and I couldn't find 773 01:06:02.559 --> 01:06:05.639 the battery. Dude, mine is the same way. And I found out 774 01:06:05.639 --> 01:06:09.639 that found out it's in the back, but there's posts in the front, 775 01:06:09.719 --> 01:06:11.599 So I mean, we got it. We gotta figure out. I did 776 01:06:11.679 --> 01:06:13.960 the same thing, doomed. I don't know. I tried to help my 777 01:06:13.960 --> 01:06:16.199 neighbor down the street and I just gott in this vehicle, right. We 778 01:06:16.320 --> 01:06:18.360 had it for like two weeks, and I opened it up and I looked 779 01:06:18.400 --> 01:06:21.679 and I'm like, where's the battery. I'm like, and it's like underneath 780 01:06:21.719 --> 01:06:25.280 stuff, and it's just like it's a it's a pain to get to him. 781 01:06:25.360 --> 01:06:28.840 This sucks. Yeah, the battery on that car is in the back, 782 01:06:28.960 --> 01:06:30.559 in front of like one of the back tires, in this weird little 783 01:06:30.559 --> 01:06:34.400 spot. But but there's posts under the hood. So I just there was 784 01:06:34.480 --> 01:06:36.880 just a moment where I'm like, what the hell am I looking at? 785 01:06:38.360 --> 01:06:41.639 But I would never touch anything on there. With that old Chevy. I 786 01:06:41.840 --> 01:06:45.679 changed, I changed that carbureter out, we rebuilt one. I knew the 787 01:06:45.920 --> 01:06:49.679 you know, I knew how to properly and the proper firing order. And 788 01:06:50.039 --> 01:06:54.719 uh, I mean it was and I was a teenager and you could retain 789 01:06:54.800 --> 01:06:58.440 that if I wasn't some doogie howser whiz kid. And now it's like, 790 01:06:58.719 --> 01:07:02.320 uh, I don't dare. We talked a few years ago how complicated it 791 01:07:02.519 --> 01:07:05.960 was now going to buy windshield wipers, Like, yeah, when you buy 792 01:07:06.000 --> 01:07:09.679 windshield wipers and there's I had to buy some in Boom Yeah. I had 793 01:07:09.719 --> 01:07:13.519 to buy some in boone because the winchol wiper was failing and it was raining 794 01:07:13.599 --> 01:07:15.920 to beat hell. And I went in there and I'm like, yeah, 795 01:07:15.000 --> 01:07:17.599 here's the here's for this car. And he's like, what should the twenty 796 01:07:17.679 --> 01:07:20.760 seven thousand? Do you want to make a wall of windshield wipers? I'm 797 01:07:20.800 --> 01:07:24.239 like, back in the day there was like one or two. I'll take 798 01:07:24.280 --> 01:07:26.800 this one. Can I have the one that matches the other one that's not 799 01:07:27.000 --> 01:07:30.960 broke? How about that? Do you need help installing them? I'm like, 800 01:07:30.000 --> 01:07:32.039 no, man, they're Winchild wipers. What are you talking about to 801 01:07:32.079 --> 01:07:34.239 get it to my car? And I'm like, I need help installing these? 802 01:07:34.320 --> 01:07:36.679 What am I looking at? Well? To be fair, they install 803 01:07:36.719 --> 01:07:41.159 them for free if you buy him at the AutoZone or whatever. So I'm 804 01:07:41.199 --> 01:07:44.079 like, and it was raining, so I'm like, yes, I need 805 01:07:44.199 --> 01:07:47.440 help installing that while I sit in here and be dry. So oh man, 806 01:07:48.000 --> 01:07:53.360 uh that's yeah. No, But to your point, you're right, 807 01:07:53.480 --> 01:07:58.280 it's the it's the nightmare scenario of being at a red light with a thousand 808 01:07:58.400 --> 01:08:00.760 cars behind you. Your car just go and nah, we're good. And 809 01:08:01.239 --> 01:08:04.559 yeah, I'm thinking it'll be better driving home when it's warmer, when it's 810 01:08:04.559 --> 01:08:09.360 above freezing. But we'll find out. Yeah. Well, but I was 811 01:08:09.400 --> 01:08:12.000 asking about because you used to have a mechanic you go to and he's just 812 01:08:12.159 --> 01:08:14.199 like, now he's living on it. He's got his own island in the 813 01:08:14.239 --> 01:08:16.520 crib. He sold the property buried there was a big listener of the show 814 01:08:16.600 --> 01:08:20.119 too. He sold the property and they're building like a big food truck hub 815 01:08:20.239 --> 01:08:29.359 or something in downtown way Forest. So yeah, man, like the there's 816 01:08:29.399 --> 01:08:30.800 a whole lot of it. Was funny. I was talking to some friends 817 01:08:30.920 --> 01:08:35.239 that are are almost almost all of them are original Raleigh residents. There were 818 01:08:35.279 --> 01:08:40.560 some of the older guys that I played golf with and they had this funny 819 01:08:40.600 --> 01:08:45.359 little term is they refer to people getting there he's a clampet. Is this 820 01:08:45.600 --> 01:08:49.199 running joke? Because you have guys who you know, were traditional Southern coverall 821 01:08:49.359 --> 01:08:53.720 boys owned you know, like a like a truck yard. But it happened 822 01:08:53.760 --> 01:08:58.560 to be anywhere within the five point forty or in downtown Greensboro or whatever. 823 01:08:58.720 --> 01:09:02.239 You know what I'm saying. And now people are banging down your door to 824 01:09:02.279 --> 01:09:04.680 buy that property from me, and some of the money they're getting it was 825 01:09:04.720 --> 01:09:09.079 just crazy and good for them. I got no beef there, but yeah, 826 01:09:09.119 --> 01:09:12.800 you got you got people that were nose of the grindstone their whole life, 827 01:09:12.880 --> 01:09:18.880 and and then they sold it and it's now they're now they're on perma 828 01:09:18.960 --> 01:09:23.520 vacation, and I don't blame them. All right, We're gonna chat with 829 01:09:24.439 --> 01:09:29.239 the treasurer and potentially would be governor. He's not retiring, he's moving forward. 830 01:09:29.960 --> 01:09:43.520 They'll fallwell, joins us. Next. Hang on, all right, 831 01:09:43.600 --> 01:09:46.319 good morning, everybody, and welcome. It is our number three here on. 832 01:09:46.520 --> 01:09:53.279 You're very chilly and kind of Monday, but you know it'll be seventy 833 01:09:53.279 --> 01:09:56.479 at some point this week, so I guess we get you have something to 834 01:09:56.560 --> 01:10:00.960 live for. But we got a lot going on, and obviously we are 835 01:10:00.640 --> 01:10:06.000 from a political and campaign standpoint, we are into a very busy news cycle. 836 01:10:06.039 --> 01:10:13.199 You saw over the weekend obviously what happened to the presidential race as DeSantis 837 01:10:13.399 --> 01:10:17.199 put his campaign on hold, and it's looking more and more like it's going 838 01:10:17.279 --> 01:10:24.279 to be a rematch of twenty twenty, and it's the number of campaign ads 839 01:10:24.399 --> 01:10:29.800 is hopping up, and we're quickly going to hit that sassuration point where we 840 01:10:29.880 --> 01:10:32.359 start yelling at the TV. I don't know that's what I do, but 841 01:10:33.199 --> 01:10:38.680 we got a long way to go. And here Stateside, obviously we have 842 01:10:38.800 --> 01:10:44.560 a governor's race, so big, big big races, lots of congressional complexity 843 01:10:44.800 --> 01:10:49.039 and nuanced stories that are out there. But government also trucks on right, 844 01:10:49.359 --> 01:10:53.720 and we have so many things that we're dealing with. So I want to 845 01:10:53.760 --> 01:10:59.199 hit this from two different points. The guests we have is well, you 846 01:10:59.239 --> 01:11:02.279 know, Dale fall well, state treasurer, but also gubernatorial candidate. And 847 01:11:02.279 --> 01:11:05.279 I want to start with your day job, sir, and then we'll start 848 01:11:05.359 --> 01:11:11.960 talking about the aspirational office. How are you doing this morning? I'm doing 849 01:11:12.039 --> 01:11:15.880 fantastic, Casey. Thank you for having me on. Absolutely, So let's 850 01:11:15.439 --> 01:11:18.319 let us start local. And I want to start on a topic. Just 851 01:11:19.359 --> 01:11:24.399 talk to one of your opponents about this, obviously in his capatity as lieutenant 852 01:11:24.439 --> 01:11:28.960 governor. But it's so weird. But you both hail from the trying and 853 01:11:30.800 --> 01:11:34.359 tryad excuse me. And so I want to talk about the death of this 854 01:11:34.479 --> 01:11:40.560 Greensboro Watch commander who wasn't even on duty, was just going above and beyond 855 01:11:40.600 --> 01:11:45.279 while sitting at a sheets. Do you feel to the extent that you're off 856 01:11:45.319 --> 01:11:48.000 as the powers that your office has, but is part of your larger role 857 01:11:48.119 --> 01:11:54.399 in the apparatus that is North Carolina government, that we are doing right at 858 01:11:54.439 --> 01:11:59.600 the state level for our slain and fallen first responders. Where are you at 859 01:11:59.680 --> 01:12:06.119 on this well? I believe we have advocated and the General Assembly has appropriated 860 01:12:06.159 --> 01:12:12.560 more money for line of death death benefits and actually added an additional benefit, 861 01:12:13.159 --> 01:12:16.079 not just for those who unfortunately, for example, would be killed in a 862 01:12:16.159 --> 01:12:21.439 car accident, you know, on duty, but then those that are murdered. 863 01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:27.319 And a lot of elected officials when Sergeant Knicks was murdered, put out 864 01:12:27.359 --> 01:12:30.199 tweets and I was sitting in his service and thinking, you know, what 865 01:12:30.319 --> 01:12:34.600 can I really do for this family? After hearing all these amazing testimonials, 866 01:12:34.640 --> 01:12:40.119 and I had our staff look at the statue regarding a lot of duty death, 867 01:12:40.840 --> 01:12:45.359 and there's no question that Sergeant Nicks, there's no light switch with law 868 01:12:45.439 --> 01:12:49.399 enforcement unless they're sleeping, They're always on, and he was acting in a 869 01:12:49.479 --> 01:12:55.399 way to protect property or people. And that's why I came out last week 870 01:12:55.520 --> 01:13:00.279 and suggested that the Industrial Commission of North Carolina, who has this decision, 871 01:13:01.279 --> 01:13:05.399 will approve not just a line of duty death, but also for being murdered. 872 01:13:08.079 --> 01:13:10.720 How do we get back to where we were? Well, I should 873 01:13:10.720 --> 01:13:15.800 ask this because I'm injecting my own observation, but I think you agree based 874 01:13:15.840 --> 01:13:20.479 on statements I've seen from here, we've obviously gone in a We've gone in 875 01:13:20.560 --> 01:13:26.439 a very specific direction as it pertains to law enforcement, and a lot of 876 01:13:26.520 --> 01:13:30.039 us think it is a negative direction with the defund the police, all cops 877 01:13:30.079 --> 01:13:34.199 are bastards, all of that, and there seems to be a lack of 878 01:13:34.319 --> 01:13:41.640 middle ground where we can still want responsibility from law enforcement to respect constitutional rights 879 01:13:41.680 --> 01:13:45.199 and do things in a way that the public acquiescens to, but also that 880 01:13:45.319 --> 01:13:49.000 we don't have this atmosphere where people think they can go into a sheet steal 881 01:13:49.079 --> 01:13:54.119 eighty five dollars worth of modello and kill a cop over it. So where 882 01:13:54.159 --> 01:13:56.279 are we at in your opinion, and how do we get back to a 883 01:13:56.359 --> 01:14:00.560 good place. We're in a bad place. And I would say, after 884 01:14:01.079 --> 01:14:06.439 hearing all the testimony at Sergeant Nick's funeral, that I just want to remind 885 01:14:06.479 --> 01:14:11.800 your listeners that no one hates a bad cop more than the great ones. 886 01:14:12.359 --> 01:14:16.119 And there are a lot of great cops, and including Sergeant Nicks. And 887 01:14:16.439 --> 01:14:19.520 I think the way that we get back there is we've got to put more 888 01:14:19.640 --> 01:14:27.079 humanity and humility into our society. And our criminal justice system is completely broken. 889 01:14:27.159 --> 01:14:30.800 In my opinion. I don't know what the background of these murderers are. 890 01:14:32.279 --> 01:14:36.239 It was interesting to me as I was researching what we said last week 891 01:14:36.279 --> 01:14:43.600 about this case that as soon as it happened, one of the murderers or 892 01:14:43.640 --> 01:14:45.640 one of those that is charged, said, we just killed a cop. 893 01:14:46.359 --> 01:14:50.800 I really don't know how they knew that at that instant, but the fact 894 01:14:50.920 --> 01:14:56.319 is in the store I think has said that these people repeatedly come in to 895 01:14:56.439 --> 01:15:01.079 do this, and our society is struggle right now because we have what I 896 01:15:01.239 --> 01:15:06.439 call conflict entrepreneurs people in this country who are making hundreds of millions and not 897 01:15:06.560 --> 01:15:13.439 billions of dollars on keeping our country divided, and we have to bring this 898 01:15:13.600 --> 01:15:16.920 back together if we're going to save our union. What. Yeah, well 899 01:15:16.960 --> 01:15:19.560 I have to. Now. I don't know the exact time. I would 900 01:15:19.600 --> 01:15:24.399 assume he identified himself when he walked up to the car, but I guess 901 01:15:24.479 --> 01:15:27.399 maybe that would be my assumption. But again I'm assuming. I don't know. 902 01:15:27.640 --> 01:15:30.039 Regardless, I don't care whether he thought it was a cop or some 903 01:15:30.199 --> 01:15:33.800 guy was just sitting there going, hey, you shouldn't steal beer. Fact 904 01:15:33.840 --> 01:15:40.319 remains that five shots were fired, and five shots struck the officer and he 905 01:15:40.520 --> 01:15:46.600 was killed. And it's a mentality that and because you see it online or 906 01:15:46.680 --> 01:15:49.279 whatever it is, that you can go ahead and get away with this because 907 01:15:49.319 --> 01:15:53.840 it's not a big deal. You can. This proves how quickly it escalates 908 01:15:53.880 --> 01:15:57.840 to a big deal. We're You're exactly right. And this is why I'm 909 01:15:57.920 --> 01:16:01.119 the only candidate for governor who has come out in favor of constitutional carry. 910 01:16:02.439 --> 01:16:06.640 I mean, it's constitutional, That's why they call it constitutional carry. And 911 01:16:08.159 --> 01:16:11.399 I'm just reminded when I was ten years old delivering papers in Winston Salem, 912 01:16:11.479 --> 01:16:15.079 I saw a license plate on the front of a car. I really didn't 913 01:16:15.079 --> 01:16:17.600 know what it meant at ten, but even at sixty five, I'm reminded 914 01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:23.439 of this. When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns. And 915 01:16:23.760 --> 01:16:28.039 that's why I'm in favor of constitutional carry. And there's just, as I 916 01:16:28.119 --> 01:16:31.319 said earlier, not just this horrific event, but there's so much broken about 917 01:16:31.319 --> 01:16:36.800 our criminal justice system, our crime lab, so much that needs to be 918 01:16:36.960 --> 01:16:42.920 repaired to restore the confidence in the people that they can be safe. Here's 919 01:16:42.920 --> 01:16:45.279 a let's say, let me talk about the crime lab for a moment, 920 01:16:45.399 --> 01:16:48.560 because you know, the crime lab really rose to prominence in the world of 921 01:16:48.600 --> 01:16:57.319 political discussion with rape kits and obviously the campaign that our ag ran against well 922 01:16:57.399 --> 01:17:02.640 yet another individual from the Triad, which was so so wrong they ended up 923 01:17:02.680 --> 01:17:09.159 pain of fine over misrepresentation. And now I just saw something from Josh Stein 924 01:17:09.279 --> 01:17:11.880 saying we got to get this caught up. And I guess my question would 925 01:17:11.920 --> 01:17:15.720 be, would what what the hell have we been doing for the last eight 926 01:17:15.840 --> 01:17:17.680 years, because like, wasn't this a thing that Cooper and Stein said they 927 01:17:17.720 --> 01:17:20.479 were going to do. Do we really have a backlog? Is it? 928 01:17:21.199 --> 01:17:24.680 Is it a red herring? I mean, what, what is really going 929 01:17:24.760 --> 01:17:30.199 on in your understanding? Well, I hope I don't get disinvited from your 930 01:17:30.239 --> 01:17:33.720 show, but we suck. You're not going to get if it's broken, 931 01:17:33.800 --> 01:17:38.159 fix it, man. I'm I just want to know the truth. Yeah, 932 01:17:38.560 --> 01:17:42.840 well, well the truth is is that it is broken. Uh. 933 01:17:43.079 --> 01:17:46.920 The sheriffs across this state have been told over the last several years, do 934 01:17:47.119 --> 01:17:55.359 not send samples to the crime lab unless you have a suspect. I just 935 01:17:55.439 --> 01:18:00.279 want your listeners to absorb that ridiculousness of that sentence. That's how that is, 936 01:18:00.399 --> 01:18:04.319 how backlogged it is. And whether you talk to Lauren Freeman in Wake 937 01:18:04.359 --> 01:18:10.479 County or some of the other larger urban areas, they they're so disgusted with 938 01:18:10.640 --> 01:18:15.800 this backlog and the crime lab that they've gone out and created their own crime 939 01:18:15.880 --> 01:18:21.279 labs outside of the state of North Carolina. That is completely unacceptable. And 940 01:18:21.399 --> 01:18:25.800 the reason this matters to me, and I'm so passionate with your listeners this 941 01:18:25.920 --> 01:18:29.840 morning, is that we are in the check delivery business at the Treasure's Office. 942 01:18:29.920 --> 01:18:33.159 Most of these checks are blessings. Obviously, some are not, like 943 01:18:33.319 --> 01:18:39.319 the family of Sergeant Nix's, and what they will ultimately receive because we manage 944 01:18:39.399 --> 01:18:42.920 his pension and his four to one and four fifty seven plans as well as 945 01:18:43.000 --> 01:18:46.399 this death benefit. And my reason for saying that to you is that, 946 01:18:46.680 --> 01:18:50.760 you know, being in the check delivery business, we can't issue a check 947 01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:56.319 until we get a death certificate. You can't run a system with a million 948 01:18:56.399 --> 01:19:00.000 people in it, and we can't get a death certificate sometimes because we're weighing 949 01:19:00.079 --> 01:19:05.119 on a toxology report. So whether it's Sergeant Nicks or the person who was 950 01:19:05.319 --> 01:19:10.680 murdered on the Greenway or some of these other law enforcement officers who have lost 951 01:19:10.680 --> 01:19:13.640 their life and the line of duty. I mean, what do people think 952 01:19:13.760 --> 01:19:15.920 they were doing when they were murdered? Were they, you know, consuming 953 01:19:16.000 --> 01:19:19.720 drugs or were they drinking bourbon? I mean, it's just ridiculous. In 954 01:19:20.119 --> 01:19:24.199 this letter I sent to Josh Stin, this is what we do at the 955 01:19:24.239 --> 01:19:28.399 Treasure's office. There's only two people that break in line at the Treasure's office, 956 01:19:28.960 --> 01:19:33.760 killed in the line of duty and hospice. With all the retirement papers 957 01:19:33.800 --> 01:19:38.720 and everything we do at the Treasure's office, those two people jump aheadline. 958 01:19:39.039 --> 01:19:44.239 And that should actually occur at the Corner's office as well as the crime lapse. 959 01:19:44.960 --> 01:19:46.479 So I just want to be abundantly clear. So if there is an 960 01:19:46.520 --> 01:19:50.720 outstanding, even the death of Officer Nicks, if there's an outstanding testing, 961 01:19:51.600 --> 01:19:57.359 you're not the states not able to provide the benefits that are on the books. 962 01:19:57.640 --> 01:20:01.000 Is that what you're saying to me, the subject matter expert, about 963 01:20:01.199 --> 01:20:04.640 the testing. But I do know that we require, as you can just 964 01:20:04.720 --> 01:20:09.439 imagine, we have to have a death certificate. We now have a death 965 01:20:09.479 --> 01:20:15.399 certificate, but we have to have a death certificate in order to process any 966 01:20:15.520 --> 01:20:19.479 benefit for any person. Okay, So if a complex death in this case, 967 01:20:19.520 --> 01:20:26.560 obviously, when it's a U suspected homicide, that's there's more. There's 968 01:20:26.640 --> 01:20:29.680 more to it than say, somebody who died of a heart attack. And 969 01:20:29.760 --> 01:20:32.000 it's okay, all right. I just want to clarify because I'm with you. 970 01:20:32.119 --> 01:20:35.960 Look, if it's broke, fix it the dot insanity that we went 971 01:20:36.039 --> 01:20:40.880 through in North Carolina. If people don't remember, and you correct me if 972 01:20:40.920 --> 01:20:43.800 I'm wrong. Basically, the DOT was like, hey, how about we 973 01:20:43.840 --> 01:20:46.319 spend all the money, but now the road projects we're doing and now we're 974 01:20:46.359 --> 01:20:50.039 out of money. Is that an accurate representation of the trouble They found themselves 975 01:20:50.079 --> 01:20:55.000 in Yes, and I rang the bell on that four years ago. No 976 01:20:55.119 --> 01:20:58.359 one believed me. The General Family didn't believe me. Governor Cooper didn't believe 977 01:20:58.399 --> 01:21:01.479 me, the DOT didn't believe me. But uh, they taught me. 978 01:21:01.520 --> 01:21:04.159 It wents to Salem State and un CG to you know, fall of the 979 01:21:04.239 --> 01:21:10.000 cash flow, and I determined as the state treasurer, with our qualified staff 980 01:21:10.079 --> 01:21:14.079 that they were literally writing checks they couldn't cash. And it's so ironic. 981 01:21:14.239 --> 01:21:16.640 During this whole period of time, as you might remember, they were actually 982 01:21:16.800 --> 01:21:24.039 buying rail cars that were being sold by Ringling Brothers. They took on a 983 01:21:24.119 --> 01:21:29.039 spur line up here in Nash County and parked them so they were appropriate though, 984 01:21:29.359 --> 01:21:33.960 yes, considering the clown cars. And then they caught on fire because 985 01:21:34.000 --> 01:21:40.239 they had homeless and the fire juggler in the Yeah. So my point is 986 01:21:40.359 --> 01:21:44.560 is that is it? And uh, that's why our governor, former Governor 987 01:21:44.640 --> 01:21:47.920 Martin continues to stay doing rights really wrong. But the fallwhell isn't that. 988 01:21:48.000 --> 01:21:51.920 I add to what Governor Martin says is that I don't mind being wrong for 989 01:21:53.000 --> 01:21:57.279 the right reasons. And we need to have transparency in our state government because 990 01:21:57.319 --> 01:22:00.359 there are going to be mistakes that are going to be made, and any 991 01:22:00.439 --> 01:22:04.560 time a mistake has made, it has to be disclosed. And the dot 992 01:22:04.800 --> 01:22:10.119 was in the ditch. They've matched out their credit card even now because of 993 01:22:10.399 --> 01:22:15.239 the inflation that's coming from the federal government's inability to balance their budget or live 994 01:22:15.279 --> 01:22:21.279 within their means. But that's all. It's absolutely accurate. The State Altar 995 01:22:21.640 --> 01:22:29.239 eventually came in and verified everything that I said after a couple of years during 996 01:22:29.319 --> 01:22:34.119 COVID. But the fact is is that we need elected The voters deserve to 997 01:22:34.279 --> 01:22:38.840 know who they're voting for and get what they're voting for, and we need 998 01:22:38.880 --> 01:22:43.399 elected officials who will figure out which right, get it right, and keep 999 01:22:43.439 --> 01:22:51.439 it right. Is that possible on a group basis as polarized as we are, 1000 01:22:51.600 --> 01:22:57.079 though, I mean, the amount of gaslighting that I read on a 1001 01:22:57.159 --> 01:23:00.600 regular basis just blows me away. And I don't know that anyone one's committed 1002 01:23:00.600 --> 01:23:03.439 to actually getting it right. Yeah, if you set a culture, as 1003 01:23:03.520 --> 01:23:08.479 I've done at every agency that I've run, including Vision, Plumbent Security, 1004 01:23:09.079 --> 01:23:13.600 if you set a culture based on the Republican Party that I joined nearly fifty 1005 01:23:13.680 --> 01:23:17.880 years ago, a culture of conservatism common sense, courtesy, humanity, humility, 1006 01:23:17.920 --> 01:23:23.960 and ethics, and answering the telephones. You can reform it. I'm 1007 01:23:24.039 --> 01:23:29.239 just reminded of about nine years ago when I was reforming the uneplument system and 1008 01:23:29.359 --> 01:23:33.119 the floors had not been backing in that building for seven months at the worst 1009 01:23:33.199 --> 01:23:38.199 quality scores in the United States, even behind guamu and Puerto Rica. I 1010 01:23:38.359 --> 01:23:43.600 recall about nine years ago a person came around the corner and he didn't touch 1011 01:23:43.680 --> 01:23:46.520 me, but sort of pointed his finger at me and he said, I've 1012 01:23:46.560 --> 01:23:54.119 looked you up and I wouldn't vote for you for anything, run except or 1013 01:23:54.199 --> 01:23:58.840 run this place. He said, you're doing a fantastic job. And it's 1014 01:23:58.920 --> 01:24:02.640 what happens when you push the power to the state employees. They have such 1015 01:24:02.720 --> 01:24:09.319 fantastic ideas. They're always told not to do something, but the state employees 1016 01:24:09.399 --> 01:24:15.000 have fantastic ideas on how to fix all of these problems. And the elected 1017 01:24:15.039 --> 01:24:18.079 officials need to have the god given what they've been given by God, the 1018 01:24:18.239 --> 01:24:24.199 vision to see, to humility, to listen, and the courage not to 1019 01:24:24.359 --> 01:24:26.880 rage. We can't be a party of rage and hate. We have to 1020 01:24:26.920 --> 01:24:30.560 be a party of courage and hope to fix what needs to be fixed. 1021 01:24:30.079 --> 01:24:33.920 And last kind of last little portion of this. I just have a couple 1022 01:24:33.960 --> 01:24:39.359 of minutes, you know, let's talk about when we feel we're not getting 1023 01:24:39.399 --> 01:24:42.399 it right. What is being done and not everything's under the control of the 1024 01:24:42.600 --> 01:24:45.760 office that you serve or the office that you see. Sometimes it's localized. 1025 01:24:45.760 --> 01:24:48.720 I'm sure you saw it over in Durham with the bus drivers where they're just 1026 01:24:48.880 --> 01:24:50.800 like, yeah, we're just not going to pay you. A bunch of 1027 01:24:50.840 --> 01:24:56.600 stuff are bad and you see what it leads to the problems there. I've 1028 01:24:56.680 --> 01:25:00.560 had first responders who are upset about some of the benefit restruct at the state 1029 01:25:00.680 --> 01:25:05.560 level. I'm sure you're familiar with the first responders retirement stuff and yeah, 1030 01:25:05.560 --> 01:25:09.760 and then you mentioned also inflation. So I want to know in the last 1031 01:25:09.880 --> 01:25:15.119 ninety seconds. I'm sorry to have you jammed in there, but how intrinsically 1032 01:25:15.279 --> 01:25:18.119 linked your all of these things. What about the concerns of first responders and 1033 01:25:18.159 --> 01:25:21.720 what does inflation do to the ability of the state to carry out its business. 1034 01:25:24.439 --> 01:25:29.439 We're in the process of retiring sixty percent of the state debt six zero 1035 01:25:29.479 --> 01:25:33.199 over eight year period of time. No state, country, or nation, 1036 01:25:33.600 --> 01:25:40.640 or local county has ever retired sixty percent of the state debt. But all 1037 01:25:40.680 --> 01:25:44.159 the billions of dollars we've saved by retiring debt, and all the billions of 1038 01:25:44.199 --> 01:25:46.199 dollars we've saved at the Treasure's office, about a third of that's been wiped 1039 01:25:46.239 --> 01:25:51.920 out with inflation. But my answer to your question is is that all of 1040 01:25:53.000 --> 01:25:57.680 these things are possible, but we have to unite our country. We have 1041 01:25:57.840 --> 01:26:01.239 to come together to solve these mass of problems, because, as I've said 1042 01:26:01.279 --> 01:26:04.560 on your show before, we are no longer the state of the Union. 1043 01:26:05.079 --> 01:26:10.920 The Union is in peril. They cannot protect our borders, they cannot curb 1044 01:26:10.960 --> 01:26:14.880 their addiction for money, they cannot pay down their debt, and all these 1045 01:26:14.920 --> 01:26:18.439 are putting tremendous pressure on the people of this state and the state government itself, 1046 01:26:18.479 --> 01:26:23.439 which is the largest business. And every time your listeners put gas in 1047 01:26:23.439 --> 01:26:26.920 their car or go to the grocery store, they're getting robbed. And that 1048 01:26:28.119 --> 01:26:33.479 robbery highly impacts especially the low and fixed income people of our state. So 1049 01:26:33.720 --> 01:26:39.239 it's important to focus on what needs to be fixed, and a lot of 1050 01:26:39.319 --> 01:26:43.079 these issues. Once you fix one problem, sometimes it fixed three or four 1051 01:26:43.199 --> 01:26:45.359 other problems. At the exact same time. Sorry to cut you off. 1052 01:26:45.359 --> 01:26:49.119 I got fifteen seconds. I just yeah, And I think it also goes 1053 01:26:49.239 --> 01:26:53.880 to people who thought they were going to have different retirement benefits and don't. 1054 01:26:54.000 --> 01:26:56.399 So I understand why everyone's concerned, but we got to leave it there. 1055 01:26:56.439 --> 01:26:59.680 I appreciate the time this morning. Okay, well, thank you for having 1056 01:26:59.720 --> 01:27:01.119 me on. Have a blessed week, and we'll be back. Hang on 1057 01:27:03.399 --> 01:27:09.880 your day. Smarter one six one FM Talk and News Talk ninety four five 1058 01:27:10.199 --> 01:27:16.840 w PTI more with Casey starts. Now, Hey, you remember the alien 1059 01:27:16.960 --> 01:27:24.800 bones and the skeletons they found in Peru, but then they like did that 1060 01:27:24.960 --> 01:27:30.279 press conference thing in Mexico. You remember that from September last year. That 1061 01:27:30.479 --> 01:27:31.479 was crazy, right, and they're like, ah, we're gonna get to 1062 01:27:31.479 --> 01:27:33.199 the bottom of this. Well, they got to the bottom of it, 1063 01:27:34.319 --> 01:27:42.680 and I gotta admit, when I tell you what they found, I'm really 1064 01:27:42.920 --> 01:27:48.520 the energy from this story is has me a little creeped out. So not 1065 01:27:48.960 --> 01:27:55.720 Aliens. Okay, sorry, I know some of you were on team Alien. 1066 01:27:55.760 --> 01:27:58.560 You were really rooting for it because you know it feel good as if 1067 01:27:58.560 --> 01:28:01.840 they are that little, because then you like think you can take them because 1068 01:28:01.840 --> 01:28:08.239 you never saw Mars attacks. So it's a doc. You should watch it 1069 01:28:08.600 --> 01:28:14.279 anyway. Uh. Instead officials, uh, forensic experts say that they are 1070 01:28:14.640 --> 01:28:23.039 quote dolls made from paper, glue, metal, and human and animal bones, 1071 01:28:26.359 --> 01:28:30.479 but not aliens, so don't have to worry about that, just just 1072 01:28:30.840 --> 01:28:38.000 made to look like aliens using what I guess would have to be children's bones 1073 01:28:39.439 --> 01:28:42.479 or I guess little person. I mean, I mean that sounds concerning, 1074 01:28:43.039 --> 01:28:47.039 right, but no, they're just baby bones. Yeah's move along. Then 1075 01:28:47.319 --> 01:28:49.840 see what well that's the that's the whole thing. They're like, oh, 1076 01:28:50.880 --> 01:28:55.159 oh, not aliens, just baby bones. Anyway, what do we have 1077 01:28:55.239 --> 01:28:58.159 it for lunch? Are we? Are you going to order? Yeah? 1078 01:28:58.359 --> 01:29:01.279 Like you guys are way too comor comfortable with that. Like if you came 1079 01:29:01.319 --> 01:29:03.920 over to my house and I had like a little skull on a mantle, 1080 01:29:04.039 --> 01:29:08.600 right, and I'm like, look at my it's my new crystal skull. 1081 01:29:08.960 --> 01:29:12.159 Yeah, and then like lo and behold, I find out now it's a 1082 01:29:12.199 --> 01:29:15.119 baby skull. Like aren't you gonna have any questions? You're gonna have questions, 1083 01:29:15.199 --> 01:29:18.560 right, like why do you have a baby skull? So yeah, 1084 01:29:18.720 --> 01:29:24.800 that's what that's what it is. And they're all they're just ready to like, 1085 01:29:25.000 --> 01:29:27.600 oh well not aliens, move on to the next story. And I 1086 01:29:27.840 --> 01:29:34.800 was really creeped out by that man. So but also they probably are aliens, 1087 01:29:34.840 --> 01:29:39.199 and they just like they can't tell you so that you weren't gonna buy 1088 01:29:39.279 --> 01:29:41.720 weather balloon because you saw the video, so they had to go with baby 1089 01:29:41.760 --> 01:29:45.920 bones. So the distraction is real. Speaking of distraction, you know, 1090 01:29:46.279 --> 01:29:53.600 last week on the show, we played audio from the the crowning of the 1091 01:29:53.640 --> 01:30:00.399 new coach up at the up at the Patriots facility there coach Mayo former for 1092 01:30:00.520 --> 01:30:06.920 them good player too, and it got really deep, really quick, and 1093 01:30:08.159 --> 01:30:12.199 it just again it's the whole energy is off thing. Here he is. 1094 01:30:12.359 --> 01:30:15.359 By the way, just a snippet from that presser last week. I do 1095 01:30:15.479 --> 01:30:17.960 see color because I believe if you don't see color, you can't see racism. 1096 01:30:18.479 --> 01:30:24.039 This is the announcement of a new football coach to play a game. 1097 01:30:25.680 --> 01:30:29.600 Okay, I do see color because I believe if you don't see color, 1098 01:30:29.600 --> 01:30:35.079 you can't see racism. And whatever happens black, white, disabled person, 1099 01:30:35.119 --> 01:30:40.039 I've always even someone with disabilities, I always, you know, for the 1100 01:30:40.119 --> 01:30:42.399 most part, people are like, you know, don't you know when they're 1101 01:30:42.479 --> 01:30:45.840 young they kind of make the spot hot. Younger people know what that means. 1102 01:30:45.600 --> 01:30:48.760 But what I would say is like, no, I want you to 1103 01:30:48.840 --> 01:30:51.880 be able to go up to those people and really understand those people. So 1104 01:30:53.039 --> 01:30:56.479 it goes back to whatever it is, black, white, yellow, it 1105 01:30:56.600 --> 01:31:00.159 really doesn't matter, but it does matter so we can try to fix a 1106 01:31:00.199 --> 01:31:02.600 problem that we all have. Okay, all right, yeah, all right. 1107 01:31:03.199 --> 01:31:05.560 Again this is a getting to know you. Hey, you're the new 1108 01:31:05.640 --> 01:31:11.159 coach and and to some extent you are bound by the questions that are thrown 1109 01:31:11.199 --> 01:31:15.239 in your direction, but you don't you don't have to allow yourself to go 1110 01:31:15.399 --> 01:31:19.039 there. Look at everything that happened with UFC over the weekend up in Canada, 1111 01:31:19.039 --> 01:31:23.439 where you got one fighter just go I mean just punk in a reporter 1112 01:31:23.560 --> 01:31:26.399 and then of course Dana White's up doing a presser and they try to get 1113 01:31:26.520 --> 01:31:30.199 him to, I don't know, apologize. I don't know what they expected 1114 01:31:30.279 --> 01:31:32.560 of him. Here is, by the way, Dana White, when hit 1115 01:31:32.640 --> 01:31:36.159 with a reporter about the behavior of some of his fighters, Dana, I 1116 01:31:36.319 --> 01:31:42.000 just want to go back you were talking about like you obviously give a long 1117 01:31:42.159 --> 01:31:45.600 leash to your fighters about you know, what they can say when they are 1118 01:31:45.760 --> 01:31:50.119 up there with the UFC microphone and you are getting into territory of homophobia transphobia, 1119 01:31:50.199 --> 01:31:54.319 Like, is there I don't give anybody a leash. Well, I'm 1120 01:31:54.359 --> 01:32:00.479 saying you a leash. I'm like free speech patrol. People say I'm going 1121 01:32:00.520 --> 01:32:04.920 to tell people what to believe, going to tell people. I don't tell 1122 01:32:05.039 --> 01:32:08.840 any other human being what to say, what to think. And there's no 1123 01:32:09.000 --> 01:32:15.199 leashes, aren't any of them? What is your question? I was asking 1124 01:32:15.279 --> 01:32:17.199 that question. I'll move on though. Yeah, probably a good idea. 1125 01:32:17.840 --> 01:32:23.279 It's ridiculous to say I give somebody a leash. Free speech, brother, 1126 01:32:23.399 --> 01:32:27.600 people can say whatever they want and they can believe whatever they want. And 1127 01:32:27.680 --> 01:32:32.079 I don't think there's any we had we had we had two gay women who 1128 01:32:32.119 --> 01:32:36.800 fought in the co main event. They sat on the stage with Sean Strickland. 1129 01:32:36.840 --> 01:32:41.319 They could give ah what Sean Strickland thinks or what he says, or 1130 01:32:41.399 --> 01:32:44.560 what his beliefs are or what his opinions are. You know what I mean. 1131 01:32:45.079 --> 01:32:48.680 Yeah, so you see where he stands. But backed over to the 1132 01:32:48.840 --> 01:32:54.000 NFL. I wanted to play all these because I wanted to share audio from 1133 01:32:54.159 --> 01:32:59.600 the bucks head coach who other than answering some uncomfortable questions about why you don't 1134 01:32:59.600 --> 01:33:01.119 take a time out. You have thirty five seconds left, you have a 1135 01:33:01.239 --> 01:33:09.000 time out and you don't use it. But he wants he'd rather answer those 1136 01:33:09.079 --> 01:33:13.920 questions. Maybe not that one because I didn't get that, but at least 1137 01:33:14.039 --> 01:33:17.119 that's, you know, in in capacity of what he's doing. So they 1138 01:33:17.239 --> 01:33:20.439 try to go in that direction with his name is Todd Bowles or Bowels or 1139 01:33:20.479 --> 01:33:28.560 bulls, and he's having zero of that. Listen to this stark difference here. 1140 01:33:29.359 --> 01:33:31.079 You you and Mike Tomlin are two of a few black head coaches in 1141 01:33:31.119 --> 01:33:33.600 the league. On wonder what your relationship is like with him and your thoughts 1142 01:33:33.640 --> 01:33:36.640 on Steve Wilk's joining that fole. And let me just say this because I 1143 01:33:36.760 --> 01:33:42.439 can't. I can't. I can't tell you how I would feel as a 1144 01:33:42.560 --> 01:33:45.399 black coach because I'm not black, nor am I coach. But to me, 1145 01:33:46.760 --> 01:33:54.000 when you immediately want to size me down to one immutable characteristic, it 1146 01:33:54.159 --> 01:34:00.960 tells me that that that is your striking concern. Obviously, there are rules 1147 01:34:00.039 --> 01:34:05.800 in place for coaching interviews that require minority interviews. That's a thing that exists 1148 01:34:05.840 --> 01:34:13.319 in the NFL. But nobody wants to feel even for even whether it's completely 1149 01:34:13.439 --> 01:34:16.239 inaccurate or any like. Nobody wants to be perceived as somebody who's in a 1150 01:34:16.399 --> 01:34:24.039 job for anything other than their ability to do it, and so it comes 1151 01:34:24.079 --> 01:34:28.079 across as really insulting. But here, here is coach, and here is 1152 01:34:28.159 --> 01:34:30.640 a very different reaction. You. You and Mike Tomlin are too of a 1153 01:34:30.680 --> 01:34:33.399 few black head coaches in the league. I wonder what your relationship is like 1154 01:34:33.439 --> 01:34:36.960 with them, and your thoughts on Steve Wilk's doing that fold. I have 1155 01:34:38.039 --> 01:34:43.279 a very good relationship with Tomlin. We don't look at what color we are 1156 01:34:43.359 --> 01:34:45.039 when we coast against each other. We just know. And by the way, 1157 01:34:45.079 --> 01:34:48.840 why does he assume that him and Tomlin are tight? Isn't that a 1158 01:34:48.880 --> 01:34:54.800 little I don't know that a little racist? Just I mean, I guess 1159 01:34:54.840 --> 01:34:59.199 it's a small group of people. Probably everybody knows everybody, but like you 1160 01:34:59.279 --> 01:35:02.039 think him and I've interviewed Mike Tommy used to be with the Minnesota Vikings. 1161 01:35:02.039 --> 01:35:05.359 I've talked to the guy on numerous occasions back in the day that dude's all 1162 01:35:05.399 --> 01:35:10.880 football in his brain all the time, man to the point where he gets 1163 01:35:11.000 --> 01:35:16.119 nerdy about it. You're just like all right around the radio. So yeah, 1164 01:35:16.159 --> 01:35:19.439 it's in sweet Oel. I have a lot of very good white friends 1165 01:35:19.479 --> 01:35:23.560 that coach in this league as well, And I don't think it's a big 1166 01:35:23.680 --> 01:35:27.720 deal as far as us being coaching against each other. I think is normal. 1167 01:35:27.880 --> 01:35:30.760 Wilk's got an opportunity to do a good job. Hopefully he does it, 1168 01:35:30.359 --> 01:35:33.439 and we coach ball. We don't look at color. But you also 1169 01:35:33.560 --> 01:35:39.039 understand that representation matters too, right, and that when young inspiring coaches or 1170 01:35:39.079 --> 01:35:42.319 even football players they see you guys, you know, they see someone that 1171 01:35:42.439 --> 01:35:45.399 looks like them, they grew up like them. That has to be talking 1172 01:35:45.399 --> 01:35:47.479 about. And by the way, just so we understand how stupid she is, 1173 01:35:48.000 --> 01:35:51.319 she says, coaches and players, do you think that there are black 1174 01:35:51.439 --> 01:35:56.680 kids playing football in America right now who don't feel that they're represented in the 1175 01:35:56.800 --> 01:36:03.880 NFL on a player's side, Is that possible? That's insane to me, 1176 01:36:04.199 --> 01:36:08.560 Like, I don't know that any kid right now who's black, who's sitting 1177 01:36:08.600 --> 01:36:11.760 at one of our high schools in North Carolina is expected to, you know, 1178 01:36:11.960 --> 01:36:15.279 be heavily recruited, is going I don't know if I can make it 1179 01:36:15.039 --> 01:36:17.960 or do you think their head is if I play good enough, I'll make 1180 01:36:18.000 --> 01:36:24.520 it. Because you're young and you're just like aspirational and and that's great. 1181 01:36:24.920 --> 01:36:27.840 But yeah, what a dumb follow up question When you say you see you 1182 01:36:28.039 --> 01:36:30.359 guys and look like them and grow up like them, means that we're eyeballs 1183 01:36:30.399 --> 01:36:35.039 to begin with. And I think the minute you guys stop making a big 1184 01:36:35.159 --> 01:36:39.399 deal about it, everybody else will as well. Think, by the way, 1185 01:36:39.399 --> 01:36:42.079 I love the you guys thing. They called it out and then flipped 1186 01:36:42.079 --> 01:36:44.600 it all right, which locker room, all things being equal, let's say 1187 01:36:44.600 --> 01:36:47.640 they both had eight and nine records whatever, Yeah eight nine? Uh, 1188 01:36:48.319 --> 01:36:53.119 you got to account for a different person at which locker room do you feel 1189 01:36:53.239 --> 01:36:59.279 is probably going to be the most cohesive? I ponder that while we chat 1190 01:36:59.359 --> 01:37:04.920 with the race Sagic from the weather Channel, and they are very cohesive because 1191 01:37:05.159 --> 01:37:10.000 they all share a doppler. What's up man? Yeah? Not much. 1192 01:37:10.239 --> 01:37:15.199 Temperatures probably going up next few days. Do you know if you didn't catch 1193 01:37:15.239 --> 01:37:18.439 it last hour, we might be near or above seventy degrees this week? 1194 01:37:18.640 --> 01:37:24.239 I'm a boy that Yeah. Yeah, so that's gonna be real nice that 1195 01:37:24.439 --> 01:37:27.800 the problem or the issue would be it won't be like seventy and sunny. 1196 01:37:27.840 --> 01:37:31.000 It'll be clouds, limited sun and the rain chance is also going up. 1197 01:37:31.039 --> 01:37:35.000 Western parts of the state and its parts of the southeast actually could see multiple 1198 01:37:35.479 --> 01:37:40.800 itches of rain this week, but it is another chilly start. Today we 1199 01:37:40.840 --> 01:37:44.199 should be mid upper forties with sunshine, and then tomorrow we'll start off near 1200 01:37:44.279 --> 01:37:46.600 thirty rather than the teens and low twenties that we've seen across the area of 1201 01:37:46.600 --> 01:37:50.640 this morning, and then tomorrow afternoon cloudy in fifty and there might be a 1202 01:37:50.640 --> 01:37:55.399 little rain tomorrow afternoon, but really better chance of some scattered showers and rain 1203 01:37:55.479 --> 01:38:00.520 on Wednesday highs in the mid sixties and Thursday Friday upper sixties to low seventies 1204 01:38:00.520 --> 01:38:02.800 with some showers. Might even be a thundershower mixed in their two k C 1205 01:38:02.960 --> 01:38:10.399 and the rain totals through what late week are likely going to be in that 1206 01:38:10.640 --> 01:38:15.760 range of about you know, one to two inches to the west and then 1207 01:38:15.800 --> 01:38:18.520 maybe up to an inch or so from the triad and off toward the triangle, 1208 01:38:18.560 --> 01:38:21.039 with lesser amounts further east. As a lot of the rain will be 1209 01:38:21.079 --> 01:38:27.000 across northwest Georgia, Tennessee, Mississippi, Alabama, Louisiana could be five six 1210 01:38:27.079 --> 01:38:29.840 inches of rain. I would be surprised if some spots get double digits. 1211 01:38:29.880 --> 01:38:32.039 So the cold there is getting kicked out be replaced by some mile there. 1212 01:38:32.079 --> 01:38:35.319 But with it we'll also see some wet weather. Okay, all right, 1213 01:38:35.359 --> 01:38:38.319 thank you, Sarah. We'll chat tomorrow. I have a good one and 1214 01:38:38.680 --> 01:38:42.079 we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on, keeping you connected. 1215 01:38:42.479 --> 01:38:46.439 This is ninety four to five WPTI and the Triad and one six one FM 1216 01:38:46.560 --> 01:38:54.159 talked and the Triangle. Good morning, eight fifty three and Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg 1217 01:38:54.159 --> 01:38:57.239 New is joining us. Jeff, what's happening well, Good morning, Casey. 1218 01:38:57.600 --> 01:39:00.760 Wall Street ended last week with a Friday rat and it looks on the 1219 01:39:01.159 --> 01:39:05.720 surface that rally has legs. The futures have been higher all morning. Now 1220 01:39:05.840 --> 01:39:11.119 futures are up ninety one points. This hour market is getting a boost from 1221 01:39:11.199 --> 01:39:16.399 tech stocks and increasing optimism about FED interest rate cuts. Macy's, We've learned, 1222 01:39:16.479 --> 01:39:21.880 has received and rejected a buyout offer from Arc House Management and Brigade Capital 1223 01:39:21.960 --> 01:39:28.039 Management. The investors were offering five point eight billion dollars for the department store 1224 01:39:28.159 --> 01:39:33.720 chain. Macy said the offer lacked compelling value. The Federal Aviation Administration recommends 1225 01:39:33.760 --> 01:39:40.039 airlines conduct safety inspections on another model of the Boeing seven thirty seven aircraft. 1226 01:39:40.359 --> 01:39:45.720 The agency now are just carriers to do visual inspections of any seven thirty seven 1227 01:39:45.880 --> 01:39:48.840 nine hundred er jets that have door plugs, like the one that blew out 1228 01:39:49.199 --> 01:39:55.600 on an Alaska Airlines jet earlier this month. Delta, United and Alaska Airlines 1229 01:39:55.640 --> 01:40:00.680 all have seven thirty seven nine hundred er planes in their fleets. Last week 1230 01:40:00.760 --> 01:40:03.880 the worst on record for shares of Spirit Airlines, but the stock did gain 1231 01:40:04.000 --> 01:40:10.920 more than seventy seventeen percent on Friday after Spirit and would be merger partner Jet 1232 01:40:11.000 --> 01:40:15.000 Blue appealed the antitrust decision to block their deal. Still, Spirit shares were 1233 01:40:15.079 --> 01:40:18.439 down more than half of the lost more than half of their value last week. 1234 01:40:18.760 --> 01:40:24.520 Some analysts are skeptical about the carrier's chances of surviving on its own if 1235 01:40:24.600 --> 01:40:28.880 the merger is not revived. It snow now a tough weekend for people who 1236 01:40:28.920 --> 01:40:32.840 work at Sports Illustrated. The news Guild took to social media late Friday to 1237 01:40:32.920 --> 01:40:38.960 say the magazine's publisher is going to fire a lot of employees, possibly all 1238 01:40:39.039 --> 01:40:45.720 of its unionized workers because of increased financial pressures and casey more than correction. 1239 01:40:45.840 --> 01:40:49.359 More than four in ten American adults who are married or living with a partner 1240 01:40:49.680 --> 01:40:57.039 admitted to Bankrate they have kept a financial secret from their financial significant other lack 1241 01:40:57.119 --> 01:41:00.840 of transparency about money can be harmful to a relationship. More than a quarter 1242 01:41:00.920 --> 01:41:06.000 of respondents say it can be as bad as an affair case. Really, 1243 01:41:08.000 --> 01:41:11.800 I mean, because it's the dishonesty component all around. I get, yeah, 1244 01:41:12.319 --> 01:41:15.039 I kind of feel like one's gonna listen in much different emotional immediate response. 1245 01:41:15.119 --> 01:41:17.880 But I would think, all right, that's why we have crimes of 1246 01:41:17.960 --> 01:41:21.920 passion. So all right, full talk tomorrow sounds good, take care of 1247 01:41:21.960 --> 01:41:26.760 a good day, Yeah, I get it. But you know, also 1248 01:41:27.319 --> 01:41:31.079 kind of different a little bit speaking of different, not that people were you 1249 01:41:31.159 --> 01:41:36.640 know, probably it was a very niche group. So in Philadelphia for years 1250 01:41:36.680 --> 01:41:43.239 they've done a pantsless light rail thing or a public transit thing. And it 1251 01:41:43.359 --> 01:41:46.439 was this weird day where people would show up wearing you know, like funny 1252 01:41:46.520 --> 01:41:51.159 boxers. You'd be one or two dudes and speedo's whatever guys, gals, 1253 01:41:51.199 --> 01:41:54.560 and then they would take a train ride and I don't know why, but 1254 01:41:54.640 --> 01:41:59.079 it's a thing, and then it's a thing that's that now has passed on 1255 01:41:59.199 --> 01:42:03.880 to other places, including in Phoenix over the weekend, where it went from 1256 01:42:04.640 --> 01:42:13.119 a little cheeky no pun intended to use a British idiom to nightmare fuel. 1257 01:42:15.319 --> 01:42:18.359 They're the photos that emerge because here's what happened. Yeah, where there's some 1258 01:42:18.399 --> 01:42:25.600 people in funny boxers, yes, but in the photos there are dozens and 1259 01:42:25.800 --> 01:42:30.479 dozens of people who went full like BDSM. My favorite combo is there's a 1260 01:42:30.560 --> 01:42:36.600 bunch of furries, but they're only furries up top and then like leather thongs 1261 01:42:36.800 --> 01:42:43.720 with attachments if you catch what I'm saying below. And there's kids everywhere staring 1262 01:42:43.800 --> 01:42:47.720 on at this mess. And also, who the hell's a furry in Phoenix? 1263 01:42:50.119 --> 01:42:51.760 And I don't know, I don't know why. That's one of the 1264 01:42:51.880 --> 01:42:57.319 questions I want answered. But like, doesn't that sound like the that's remember 1265 01:42:57.359 --> 01:43:00.600 this goes back to being a homeless in like Chicago versus Miami, right, 1266 01:43:00.760 --> 01:43:05.039 like one is more understandable than the other from a weather standpoint, But like 1267 01:43:06.359 --> 01:43:11.119 I can't imagine banging around Phoenix and a furry costume. Maybe this time of 1268 01:43:11.119 --> 01:43:16.199 the year, but or I guess half costume because under it you're wearing attached 1269 01:43:16.439 --> 01:43:20.920 items. You know what I'm saying, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, 1270 01:43:20.960 --> 01:43:25.239 yeah yeah yeah. Ross gonna tweak the link out. I'm just letting 1271 01:43:25.279 --> 01:43:30.079 you know there's some some of it's covered. Don't worry, it's in a 1272 01:43:30.319 --> 01:43:38.359 more traditional article and not some just weird photo gallery. But like a half 1273 01:43:38.520 --> 01:43:47.520 rabbit with you know that and the six year old that literally is standing there 1274 01:43:48.279 --> 01:43:53.840 and her mom. You can see mom just like gripping that daughter. Just 1275 01:43:53.920 --> 01:43:56.920 really creep me out. But anyway, we did that on Twitter, by 1276 01:43:56.960 --> 01:43:59.359 the way, and we send the links out at case on the radio. 1277 01:44:00.359 --> 01:44:05.920 You can check that out. And quickly before we go, the President would 1278 01:44:05.960 --> 01:44:10.359 like to remind you, and I love people say the blood of liberty, 1279 01:44:10.840 --> 01:44:15.840 I assuming the tree of liberty is water with a blood of patriots. Well, 1280 01:44:15.920 --> 01:44:19.199 guess what, man, I didn't see a whole lot of patriots that 1281 01:44:19.319 --> 01:44:25.760 out there walking around making sure that we have these weapons. Well, and 1282 01:44:25.880 --> 01:44:29.159 if you really want to worry about the government, you need an F sixteen. 1283 01:44:30.159 --> 01:44:31.720 Ah, he went he went to swallow, well, not the nukes, 1284 01:44:31.720 --> 01:44:38.279 but with the F sixteen. And he he keeps going there man, 1285 01:44:38.359 --> 01:44:40.640 so be on the lookout for F sixteen's the Center
