Cacoday radio program and I was Ross and Evers chatting off the air, a
few things going on. We got lots of audio today, but I would
be remiss because, once again, for the up umpteenth time, I'm sitting
there and I'm just trying to scroll through the social media, mostly because I
want to see what what insane thing is going on on the college campuses yesterday
so I can put it in the old show prep and boy, oh boy,
let me tell you this. The answer to that one is lots okay.
And here, let me just give you a little taste. I don't
even I won't even Maybe you're gonna context where this is from. Just know
and I'll explain here coming up. But just know that this is a college
student on a college campus, at least he purports to be, who is
in the midst of getting a arrested by police because the whole thing had gone
sideways, had been told to leave, some fights had broke, all right,
so it's it's just pandemonium and uh, this this is what he's yelling.
Uh, there's lots of bleeps. I warn you, what are you
doing? Learn? I gotta learn about public health? I mean snatching that
dude, ride out of class like that. I'm assuming, Kim, what's
the one everyone hates who wants to be a doctor and then after they do
it, they don't want to be a doctor. It's it's uh, I
can't remember what it is, but that's the class, right Ross you dubbed
it in He was sitting in his chair taking notes, right, and they
pulled him out of there, screaming, yeah, yeah, he's just he's
just Look he's just in here's got a pen and a notepath, just trying
to learn, man or he's outside surrounded by the unwashed masses. Which,
by the way, I'm I didn't major in public health, so I'm a
I'm a little member. I I did the poetry through Marxist lens. Once
I heard about that, I was like, yes, sign me up.
But you know, you guys are all like grubby living in the quad in
like tents, and I know you get your masks on, but let's let's
let's be honest. Those are really only when you when you suspect there's a
camera around or you're out harassing somebody. So uh, anyway, so I'm
just thumbing through there and for like the the last I don't know how long
this has been going on. Every single time I'm there, I there's one
of two things that I see that is annoying. The the tweets saying look
between letters, that's dumb, it's and now's the point where people are annoyed
by it. So then others do it just a troll, which if it
had just been trolling to start with, maybe, but some people we're serious
about it. And two and I feel like right off to talk about this
the man versus bear thing, and not in the cool like the world's Strongest
Man spencing sponson Magsisin or you know whoever it is is going to fight a
bear. Sign me up for that to watch. Of course, I don't
want to be on like the undercart or anything. No, no, no,
If you haven't, it's like this, it's like the worst thought exercise
and most disingenuous responses to prove a point that I think I've seen in quite
some time. And if you don't know what it is, here's how it
works. And it's for you ladies, and I guess those who identify as
ladies, because this sounds like wet garbage. And the challenge is you ask
women if you were out in the woods, you're hiking the trail and you
wander into a clearing, knowing that you're miles from civilization, and they're standing
right in front of you. Is either a man you don't know or a
bear, which would you rather encounter in this wilderness situation? And almost exclusively
when they put together these answers, it's these it's some really angry looking chick
on TikTok or some preachy social justice ultimate feminist lady, and she's sitting there
and without hesitation, she's like the bear. Okay, okay, by the
way, I just gonna let you go. I've been in these situations.
But again, this is supposed to be for women. I've literally in both
those situations, been really really into the wilderness and encountered those things. I'll
tell you, and let me tell you this. It's far. I will
agree if you think you're nowhere near anybody and you see them, but it's
not out of the question, right, I've been miles back. I've been
miles and miles back. Like we walked almost for a day to get back
somewhere because my buddy had he drew a mountain mountain goat tag, and so
we went way way back there and we ran into it, dude, and
I admit I was surprised, mostly because like it's you have you had to
know how far back it is. But I've also run into a bear,
right, and both of which, you know, the bear was obviously less
surprising in the sense that you kind of you're ready for that. But here's
the problem with this. And I wasn't murdered by either, just so we're
clear, here's the problem with this, because the it's it's this whole thought
exercise that's dumb, but is predicated in I think the people's minds who put
it out there that they're raising awareness about, you know, toxic masculinity and
how horrible men are. And so they'll say, well, well i'll take
I'll take the bear. I'll take the bear. And then the stat that
they spew is, you know, on average women, blah blah blah face
this, so you know they're they're And then they'll say they're far more likely
during their lifetime to be injured by a man than a bear, which do
you know why that's probably true? I think, and I haven't run the
science on this. I think that if you were to ask most women how
many random encounters with strange men they may have right where you're like in a
parking garage. I'm trying to take a scenario, so you're not quite in
the wilderness, like you're in a parking garage and there's there's just some dude
kind of hanging out in there. Which, by the way, even if
you're a guy and some dudes just hanging out in there looking like like he's
not going to his car, your situational awareness should be up. But I
think on average, the average American woman is presented on an annual basis with
I don't know, zero bar encounters. Zero I believe would probably again you
have to take me out my word here, but I think on average,
not the average American woman has zero rando bar encounters, whereas she will likely
encounter men that she doesn't know. Even in those scenarios, even if she's
just in a store, right and the clerk is a dude and she's by
herself. I mean, I guess that kind of ticks the box, right.
It's the dumbest thing ever, and it's inaccurate. And I think,
and maybe what we need we need more bears. We need because then and
only then can we do this. And also what kind of bear? That's
right, I know it's Monday morning, we're doing some we're doing some animal
biology stuff. What kind of bear? Because if you ask me what kind
of bear, and I knew geographically where we were, I could pick a
bear that I'd prefer to encounter. You get out in the rocky mountains,
give me a black bear all day. For the most part, they don't
grow as big, not as big as the ones up in the northeast,
much smaller. And chances are if you just if you're noisy enough and there's
not cubs around, they're out of there. Don't give me a brown bear,
though, Don't give me a grizzly Nope, nope, nope, nope.
So like the whole thing is dumb, but it, for whatever reason
that and the key thing or the key thing, the key is on the
keyboard thing persists, and I have I have no idea why. Mostly I
think just to annoy me. All right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four coming up, we got awards that we're gonna have.
Now, we got more insanity on college campuses, because of course we do.
I guess graduations over the weekend. Most of them went smooth, some
of them didn't. And one local community I guess is trying to outcompete Kerry
for most dangerous city of North Carolina. I'm half joking, although I am
a little surprised by this story. So lots to get to six seventeen.
Hang on, we have a little conspiracy to sported, and I need to
know what team you're on. So did you all see this? Really it's
not a very long video. It's not a long video, but it's you
don't need to be the body language person that like O'Reilly used to have on
to really deep dive of what might be going on here. But it's it's
just Biden, you know, moving. I guess he's probably moving to or
from Marine one, and it's that standard. Here's every reporter in the press
pool screaming at him from about twenty feet away, simultaneous questions, and he
stops, which is not unusual because then sometimes he'll answer some of these,
much to his staff's dismay. But he stops, and he he gets this
really weird look on his face, and he because there's the gait of him
moving, but there's also the way he stops and almost kind of I don't
know how to scre like pushes out like a little bit his lower back.
Well, and this is what he's hearing, by the way, all right,
so that's not impress You have to see the video. Do you think
was he just stopping to listen or perhaps with something else going on here?
That's the question, because uh, people got jokes, people got theories,
and you know, if if you're cognizant enough of how do I how do
I do this delicately? You ever been in a position where you're on the
fence as to whether that's just gas, so you take a much more measured
approach because you just you don't trust. But that's all it is. It
kind of looks like that or or uh, you know, he did the
pope thing again. I don't know. You can be the judge of it,
because it could be it could be just it was an awkward, kind
of weird series of stops and body movements. It could be he was just
uh, you know, trust but verify and things did work out. But
still you kind of kind of the way your body is ready for it,
you can see that, or you know, the worst happened, So I
guess those are the those are the three options. I kind of feel like
I'm in I'm right in between number two and number three, which, by
the way, that's that's funny. Actually it's a it's an unintended pun,
but something's going on there. Well, we'll tweet out a link to the
video. You could check it out. Ross one, two or three?
Where's your where are you at? You think? You just think it's just
a weird kind of gait thing and he just paused and Okay, Like again,
I'm not convinced on any of this, but it just was weird because
then I'm thinking about all the contortions when what may make when in that situation.
So I don't know. Man. In fact, I was chat Ross
and or chatting about it off there. He did not see it. So,
but no doubt you saw some of the the highlights or lowlights I did
see. I did see that. I was confirmed. Some people shouldn't be
roasted. Okay, some people shouldn't be roasted because they there their ego can't
take it. And I'm convinced Tom Brady was that. I give him a
lot of grief, but mostly it's just because like harassing you know, Patriots
fans in the uh you know, in the rivalry sense. But like I
thought he probably could. But when I saw that interaction with Jeff Ross,
Look, Jeff Ross, if you're gonna do one of these roasts, Jeff
Ross is going to be there. He is if you think, if you
think of ros Jeff Ross is the king of the roast currently, yeah,
because the rest of them are dead. Yeah. Yeah, But and you
know, you go back obviously the sixties in the in the excuse me,
the late sixties into the seventies seventies is really the heyday right of the roast.
You go back and you see the old you know, Sammy Davis is
there, Sinatra by making appearance. It's just but yeah, but with the
newer ones, because they're really big in the two thousands, like there are
two thousands, Trump sat for one. I mean, my god, man,
Greg Giraldo is dead, Nor McDonald is dead, right, who's the
other one? Kilbert Godfried is dead. It's like Jeff Ross is the only
one left. And that now and that lady who just talks about how many
like Lisa Lampanelli, right, like her whole stick is that although she's funny,
she makes funny jokes. I'll give her. I'll give her credit.
And I actually I enjoy the roast thing. I enjoy that. I that,
but I like I like comedy and but I also like specific nit niches
of it and and that's that's fun. I usually enjoy those. And how
many centrals put out some good ones. Like I said, watching the Trump
one after he was inaugurated was kind of surreal because it took place obviously years
before. But like, this is something crazy about the dude who's just you
know, getting you know, getting the curtains picked out at the White House,
is just sitting there taking crap from Lisa Lampinelli. I don't know.
There's something pretty crazy about that to me. But so I watched the Brady
thing and I thought it was gonna be fine. And then ro Jeff Ross
made a joke about not Tom Brady, but our Robert Kraft, and it
was a joke about the massage. Well it was about Tom Brady too.
He said something along the lines of, you know Tom was selected, you
know, number one ninety nine. He gets up there, walks into Robert
Craft's office. Thank you for thank you, sir, thank you very much
for selecting me. I really appreciate it. Would you like a massage?
And Brady got up and went over to Ross and told him, don't say
that blank again. And in a in a roast, that reaction from the
roast the person being roasted is usually mostly done for comedic purposes, right,
but this felt very will Smithy Will Smith Chris Rocky and uh yeah yeah.
And then he was like he was motionless during all the gizelle stuff, which
I guess I kind of get, but I don't know. Man. You
if you know Jeff Ross is gonna be there, He's going to make jokes.
And and by the way, in those roasts, there usually are some
parameters about he could get uh like uh with with Trump, the parameters were
I believe somebody said that the parameters were that he agreed to the roast,
but they couldn't joke about his wife ex wife or minor children. Now you
talk, they talk about it, but they couldn't make jokes. And somebody
did kind of make a joke, but it wasn't really at their expense,
you know, And I you know, I guess I get that because they're
not up there to defend themselves. But yeah, it was really awkward.
So and I was surprised. I figured it, Come on, man Craft
is sitting there by the way too, So it's it's it's clearly even though
Brady's part of the joke, it's clearly a joke at Robert Craft's expense.
But no, he was not having that, not having that at all.
All right, But maybe you think I miss reading it, mister Boston Paul,
because you're the one who sent it to me. But yeah, also
I don't think Rady much like Kevin Hart's jokes, and Heart was Heart was
the the roastmaster. So yeah, the whole thing was kind of awkward,
and I generally like that, but I don't know, I was half paying
attention. I just gotten prep stuff done. So anyway, all right,
let's uh, let's let's go ahead and get into this, because we got
to We got a crap ton of audio and different stuff we got to get
through. So yeah, as when we last left, a bunch of about
a seventy five or so protesters decided to interrupt the University of Michigan's graduation ceremony,
you know, to get turn people to their side, and uh,
it really it really sputtered out, although it did halt it for a while.
And ironically, I think if you're the if you're the Michigan governor,
Whitmer right, and uh, you know, part of your hobbies are destroying
kids graduation ceremonies. You had to respect the speed at which they brought it.
You didn't have to hold a bunch of press conferences and rope off seeds
like they smashed that. Uh, they didn't quite do it all the way,
but in impressive run. Unfortunately, all the people who had just spent
a gazillion dollars on their kids to go there traveled however far they had to
travel, assembled in this stadium with you know, the horde of other people.
They weren't having any of it. And really the exciting part for the
crowd was when they started hooking them up and dragging them out, or they
told them that people being dragged out were Buckeye fans, so you'd get the
same reaction. So yeah, Meanwhile, around these parts we did run into
that, not to that extent. And I got to be honest, one
of the big concerns out there was exactly this. You know, what's going
to happen these graduation ceremonies. Remember several schools USC I think kind of the
highest profile one canceling there, just straight up canceling it. And that's when
all the stories started to emerge about how no graduation once again for you,
and they started they interviewed this one lady, this one, this one woman
who was, you know, bemoaning. I think she went to high school
in California too. But just like I can feel for that, I can
understand that. Now, I didn't go to my own graduation for even high
school, so I literally I never never attended graduation either, but that was
my choice. I left, I graduated semester, I left. I just
didn't bother coming back because I really didn't care. But yeah, yeah,
if you really want that thing, I understand why she's upset. So the
last thing you want is a bunch of moonbats to sending on you on your
ceremony. So I got to think that there is it's a lot easier to
control access to a ticketed event inside of a stadium that has security settings to
control access, But some universities aren't going to be that lucky, and so
we will be following this as many many folks are going to be graduating over
the next about week week and a half, all right, eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. Unfortunately, though, if you go
to Arizona State University and you were part of the illegal occupation that culminated with
the frat bros throwing everybody's stuff in a truck to haul it away, remember
that audio from last week. Reality set in. Reality has set in for
some of the students, including this young lady. I mean, I'm a
little disappointed. I I I'm being restricted from a lot of things right now
that I that I didn't expect to be firstanding up for something that I believe
in, and you know I have I know you can kind of hear it,
but just to emphasize, she is in tears. She is in tears
being interviewed because she's been told, hey, actions have consequences, you know,
and by the way, the very same consequences that at the time you
did the thing we told you would be the consequences were in fact the consequences,
and she can't handle it. I have family coming in who I have
to let them know, you know, not come to my graduation ceremonies.
By the way, do you know who doesn't have family coming in. A
lot of Jewish students in different parts of the world, Israel kind of spot
there. They probably have family missing during this graduation season, so as by
the way, as well as probably some of the Palestinian students, So you
know, something to think about. Anyway, I'm sorry, back to whatever
this blubbering interview is. I am glad that there is a guarantee that my
courses will be taken care of, so I don't have to worry necessarily about
about my graduation requirements and the fact that I will earn my degree as I
as I have spent the past four years doing. But I'm just disappointed.
I mean, I'm a twenty twenty high school grad so I wasn't able to
walk then, and so okay, I'm not able to walk now. Yeah,
accept accept The first thing, admittedly wasn't your fault, right, That
was whoever you're I don't know where she grew up, but that was lawmakers
she made that decision and school officials and all that. So I actually feel
bad for you about that, especially with everything that we know. Now that
being said, this is this is all you hear, and now you're an
adult before. Not only was it not your fault, you were also a
kid. By the way, her name is Brianna Brocker. She will not
be uh not be attending her physical graduation there, and she just can't be.
I was doing what I believed was right, and I still believe it
to be right. Then why Okay, let me ask you a question.
If you do, then why are you crying? If you because again they
didn't hide that this is going to be the consequence. So if you still
think that you were right, you should be incensed. You shouldn't be crying.
You should be angry. That's what I would expect. But then you
would also have to justify you know, why you're right. So if you
think you did what you did was right, you shouldn't be crying. I
would. I would stand up for the cause again, even if it means
something negative to me, because, like the cause is so much harm has
been done to to all of those people already. I am safe. I
am I am fine. I might not graduate and that might harm future job
prospects and stuff like that, but I'm not not as much. I'm not
like in physical danger. I'm not I'm not constantly worried about being hurt or
being forced from my home or anything like that. I would absolutely stand up
again and protest again. Okay, I you know what I uh, let
me say this. I don't know you, but I don't believe you.
I think that And here's here's what I mean. I think that this,
the consequences here might be factored in next time because you she seems really upset
about this, even though it was one hundred percent predictable because you were told
like this might be the most learning from uh, from your university experience that
she does. Maybe I don't know, I hold out hope on this stuff,
but like I would, I would think I would think that maybe if
if this really does cause a big wound, you might be more measured in
it. It doesn't mean you can't stand up for stuff, but it's the
way that you go about it, because that's that's what the debate here is.
Nobody's debating whether you can, you know, walk around and hate Israel
or love this or or detest that or whatever it is, and make your
voices hurt. In Chapel Hill yesterday, the student group that organized the initial
rally, which was then excommunicated from campus. They decided they were going to
go uh slow walk Franklin Street and you know, and that was there.
That was their form of protest. Now, I don't know they broke like
jaywalking laws or exactly how it works there in Chapel Hill. That being said,
uh, it doesn't appear anybody did anything illegal. Maybe just annoying if
some people were wanting to get through there. So you know that nobody's got
a beef with well, they don't have a criminal beef with that. They
may think you're dumb and you're wrong, but ultimately we're missing that step where
she's addressing the cause, but not the way that the cause was promoted.
I know you guys know this, but it's Monday and some people are very
sleepy. So um yeah, dude, I saw the the the frat boy
summer thing. I think is stuck. Right. If you've seen that,
and if you haven't heard that, I think you're you're gonna get sick of
that phrase, the frat boy summer thing, and it's just you know,
spurred off the UNC obviously what happened at UNC, and then some of the
videos from University of Mississippi and Alabama and Hubbard. By the way, this
these protests are not seem to be going well down around the Gulf Coast because
they're not having any of this, and people people are lining up, uh
and they had where was the video from LSU? And then you have you
have frat dudes chanting, you have zero SEC championships to protesters. So it's
like this weird three year letterman meme tie in and it's just it's wild.
And that's only going to grow. That's only going to pick up. And
people putting that giant screen out showing the atrocities of October seventh on Loop.
You're going to see more of that. Guys showing up and running the Good
Morning Vietnam audio. That's a thing that happened at USC or UCLA. So
this thing's just this thing's just ramping up. But it's getting much more personal.
And I'll explain why coming up on the ac O Day radio programs.
It's gonna be I wan't say a wild weather week, but it'll there'll be
a lot of variety. So if you crave variety, this is your week.
We'll chat with him and we got we got snakes on planes and Google
Decision, all sorts of stuff to get to but I want to start with
a trend, and I want to approach this just to recre I'm gonna approach
it from two different directions. I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna approach
it from me the loudmouth radio host, but also I'm gonna put on my
PR hat because you know, what we do to some extent he is is
PR and communication. You know, it all is under that umbrella, because
I don't understand what how there are There are people who are smart political strategists
for both parties. They're good at it, okay, as much as we
make fun and all that, and there's some real losers out there, but
they're not They They are willing to. They are willing to, even if
they won't say it out loud. They're willing to make decisions based on you
know, actual returns, data and things that they think will work or won't
work. Right, they fired all those people over at the over the Democratic
Party because I also want to evaluate this, this trend. And here's the
trend, taking a modern day political position issue and the issue matters, by
the way, but also the process and conflating it with and then insert some
very famous struggle for something protests, arrests, perhaps you know, horribleness with
interactions with law enforcement. Can't state is brought up what you saw in this
South during the civil rights movement that was done to civil rights protesters and then
to see and then to convince yourself what's going on right now is same,
is the same, and not realizing that you doing that now. It's not
even just the messaging, it's the fact that you would have the audacity to
tell people this is just like nineteen sixty. Let me start with this because
this is This is from the head of the North Carolina Democratic Party, Anderson
Clayton. And Ander said, she's very young. I don't think she's dumb,
though people are saying, oh, she's done no no, no,
no, no. Look, I just think she doesn't see this, and
I don't understand why, because I am seeing Democrats, you know, try
to distance themselves. Politico wrote an article over the weekend, going, it's
surprising when you find out who's funding these protests and the deal is political is
left outlet But the only persons surprise might be Politico. We'll get into that
later. But Clayton tweets the following sixty three years after the freedom Writers came
to the South. We're still arresting folks for peacefully protesting war on college campuses.
All right, so there's strike. This is strike number one. I
understand putting that line out there, but people have eyes and they can see
this stuff. Okay, remember what was ross? What was the galvanizing visual
moment for you with the protests specifically at UNC Was it something somebody said,
something you heard, or was it something you saw? No, yeah,
no, we talked about it is when they put when they took the flag
down to put their flag up, galvanizing moment. Throw and then throwing Remember
they were throwing food and drinks on the on the black police chief. Right,
only those two things. And and then somebody reads this, I feel
like it has the opposite effect of what you think you're going to accomplish.
She goes on to write, university administrators are cross ends here to blame for
the violence against young people. We've witnessed. Quote police arrested now she's quoting
from a report from nineteen sixty. Okay, police arrested Writers for trespassing,
unlawful assembly, violating state, local Jim Crow laws, and other alleged offenses.
But often they first let white mobs attack them without intervention, which,
by the way, she should know because in nineteen sixty it was the person
who had her job in a lot of instances who was organizing the white mobs.
And so for all those reasons, people read that and I don't see
one. Now it comes down to who responds on Twitter, so to say
there's not one person going, you go girl, And frankly, if you
are a as you're seeing, if you are a quote unquote undecided voter and
you are old enough to remember the sixties, this has to galvanize you in
the other direction. Up at Columbia, they were sitting there and they were
conflating humanitarian aid. Right, we need humanitarian aid. We might starve to
death or die of thirst, blah blah blah, and humanitarian aid as functional
adults understand, it is not for ninety thousand dollars a year college students to
eat German butter cookies and high end Deli sandwiches. People see that. People
recognize that there's an article that WRAL had over the weekend. Here we go
headline after row. The network of people who help others get abortions see themselves
as the abortion underground. Organizing a car pool to play parenthood does not I
can't believe. I have to say, that does not make you Harriet Tubbin.
And when you couple that with hashtag stuff, you know, hashtag activism
and you know the LARPing aspect of it. Don't get me wrong, there's
some diehards in there, but a lot of it's just people are like this
is they haven't found anywhere else to fit in, so this is where they
fit in. That makes people angry. I saw some one of the protesters.
What did they uh, they didn't say it, they wrote it.
It was basically real like, real courage is not going somewhere else and enforcing
your will on other people, but rather enforcing what is right on your own
people. Let me let me break that down for you. Real courage is
not military service. It's I guess whatever this is. How do you think
people are going to react to that? Who are moderate, who are pretty
much apolitical in a lot of instances, and that's what they're hearing. And
by the way, that's uh if you if you look at it in the
broader sense of things, right, because you can pick out in individual stuff
where people what they did here in the US too, was was courageous,
unquestionably, and a lot of the activism was going on during the Civil Rights
movement and many other things that that turned out to be inherently correct, right
to be the right thing. Uh, those examples exist. But in the
overall, you're gonna tell me that a person at Columbia sitting there who's on
ninety thousand dollars tuition, eating eating nice and uh, you know, running
out and screaming, you know, from the river to the sea, eradicate
the Jews, and and and then camping. You're telling me that that person
is imbued with more courage than I don't know everyone aboard the USS Indianapolis.
I'm trying to think of really the most horrific consequences. By the way,
do you guys you know that when I reference USS Indianapolis, but the refer
Okay, if you don't, let me just give you the readers digest,
and I want you the whole time time to envision the comparent contrast here.
Okay, the USS Indianapolis was the ship that delivered the parts for the nukes
that we used on Japan. And because they had to, they had to
assemble it on one of the nearby islands, right. They didn't want to
transport all, so they literally assembled it there. The USS Indianapolis they brought
the stuff and the japan had they knew that something bad was coming. And
remember we had said that we have a weapon and it's gonna you guys are
not gonna like it, right we leaf We were leafleting Japan with this,
and the Japanese, the Japanese navy knew that that was the ship carrying stuff.
And so you know, you get a thousand people on this ship and
they're just like, screw it, we got to get this done. It
was rot with danger. Everyone knew. They they dropped off the parts and
they were headed back and they got torpedoed. So Japan did get the ship,
but they didn't get them before they dropped off the parts. And you
know what happened, but the Indianapolis, after it was torpedoed, immediately they
started ceiling. Like two or three hundred of the of the sailors were sealed
into their quarters because you have to start trying to keep the ship from sinking.
And if you're inside and you're on the wrong side of one of those
watertight doors. It was what it was, and there are counts of some
of the sailors who survived who literally were having to stand there next to it
and have all of the people they work with pleading with them to open the
door. And that was just the start of it. Because the ship did
the Titanic thing where it went nose up in the water, and I don't
know if you know what happens. Everyone then jumps off the ship and they
start swimming like mad because it creates a very strong vacuum current and if you
didn't get far enough away, you were literally sucked underwater. And maybe that
would have been the better thing, because it also the entire top of the
water had now become engulfed in flames, so you could get sucked under.
But then if you somehow were able to get up out of there, you
then you burst in there and there's no oxygen because fires consuming oxygen. Plus
you're now on fire. And if somehow, if somehow, that that didn't
get you, and it didn't about uh. They estimate about three hundred people
were lost initially, and then the rest were just bobbing around in the ocean.
And then the shark showed up and but it was all said and done,
I think that two hundred to three hundred made it out of a thousand.
But for days, the sharks would just run around and eat people,
and then they would group up. People would literally group up to see if
that would stop. And at first it worked because the sharks had a bunch
of like carcasses to eat, you know, people who were dead. But
then I don't know, somebody put it on an insta and they're like,
hey man, you got to be here, and then like more sharks showed
up, and literally people would give up and they'd swim away from the group
and then immediately get eaten by sharks. And this went on for days and
days. I mean, just imagine that you got your tent taken away.
Meanwhile some guy might be on fire on top and then the bottom house getting
eaten, which, by the way, that is now just thinking about that
is the worst ross. Put that on my list of ten worst deaths ever.
Fire on top, shark eating you on the bottom. In fact,
it was so horrific what happened, and initially the details of it and why
they were there and what was going on. Because of the secrecy of the
program. Yeah, we used it. But remember we were still then.
You know, after that we were rushed into this Cold war with Russia that
families of sailors wrote letters because the captain survived, they wrote letters telling you
talking about how horrible he is, and instead he didn't explain himself. This
went on for years and years. He finally killed himself. But yeah,
yeah, your sandwich was supposed to be hot, and then they forgot to
put it in the grill thing. I'm sorry. So when people see this
and make statements like that, I don't how you can't serve any purpose to
galvanize people, either to your position or to at the very least electing officials
who might be more sympathetic to it. So if the mark getting person and
he doesn't get it, and you know, the opinionated individual, sure as
hell doesn't get it, but it trucks on man, it trucks on Alan.
What's up, Hey, I was just wondering, Casey. Now,
I know that what's going on over on the other side of the world is
horrible, but how many of these kids you said, you know, they're
going to school ninety thousand dollars a year, which I understand that, but
how many of their parents have mutual funds that have investments that are in Israel,
whereas they're worried about the school being invested in Israel as opposed to their
parents, well maybe their heart by you know what, I suspect these people
are probably also winding to their parents about it if they disagree. So yeah,
I'm going to sell off their mutual funds and you know, divest every
investment they have, because hell, you don't know where your money's invested half
the time in those mutual funds. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that
they probably expressed their and maybe their parents, maybe their parents the reason they
put them over there is because they just to get them out of the house.
I don't know, but yeah, I hear what you're saying. I
appreciate the call there, Sir. I hear what you're saying. But yeah,
it wouldn't surprise me. The difference is if your parents are paying your
way going through college, there is a line that I think that you eventually
find yourself at that you have to decide whether you want to cross before they
cut you off. So, but each individual circumstances may vary, I guess
would be the way to say that so yes, I don't understand how you
think, well, this is the same thing that's going to irritate people.
It's not nineteen sixty. It's not the cause in and of itself. While
yes, obviously you know people people that push back to allow of the civil
rights legislation inherently at the end of the day, even though we don't know
fully how it plays out in the end, most people's minds see what they
see when they're where they're evaluating your messaging. Is one group. One group
decided that, you know, people should be treated equal, and the other
group is talking about eradicating a population of people and uh and you know,
wearing terrorist garb. So regardless of how you think, they may be the
same. I don't understand how you think that is a winning message. But
by all means, continue, I think would be the position probably of their
political opponents. All right, seven twenty three long segment, we'll be back.
Hang on, I don't understand this phenomena, but you need to stop
it. Why is it that there are so many people who have worked in
sports, in the sports reporting industry for so long and or worked like his
coaches or just you know, involved with the sport of basketball. How is
it that so many of you can't not be creepy when you're talking to Caitlin
Clark? What is wrong with you? Like almost immediately remember around the draft
he had the one of the local broadcast guys. I understood kind of the
joke he was trying to make and how it kind of came across, but
like it was wholly predictable. He made this uncomfortable joke about this little sign,
this I love you signed things she makes, and he was like,
why don't you make that to me? Right? And he was joking about
coverage, but it came across as really creepy. And then she she literally
makes her debut and it's post game and they started they're asking about her boyfriend
and stuff, and it's like, I did Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves beat
the Nuggets over the weekend, right, and which was amazing, And I
do I am a little I have an affinity for the Wolves just because I
lived in Minnesota, and I really got into it that year when I thought
they might actually win it because it was like Garnett Zerbiak, Sam Cassell,
Latrell Spreewell. Even that year a couple other Hoiberg was the outside shooter.
They had a really good team and unfortunately they lost the Western Finals to the
Lakers, and Mark Madsen basically was allowed to come in and shive the Wolves
the whole series and then we signed him the next year. But so,
but this team looks great and Anthony Edwards I saw them talking to him after
and nobody asked him, like if he's gotten to third base with his girl
yet? So stop it, just stop. What is wrong with you?
Folks? Ask her about ask her about if she had a good game,
you know why, and then if she had a bad one, what she
thinks she needs to work on. How about like ask her that people were
saying that she wouldn't play, she wouldn't be able to be you know,
it'd be a challenge for her professionally, and then having an amazing game her
first game. Yes, Yeah, which is why I was sitting there.
Storyline, I'm sitting there on Saturday and I'm scrolling through exer Twitter and I'm
like, hey, I'm like, oh, she played last night, and
that blew my mind the turnaround because she was just in like the final four,
right, the championship game. Yeah, then she got drafted like two
weeks later, and then like a month now she's playing in the w n
B A. I wish, I wish NBA, NFL, I wish it
could all be the same way. That's an increading. That's an incredible turnaround
in my opinion. Yeah, and then people saying she's able to get it
done, but I hear you right, No, no, she's gonna be
poverty, She's not gonna be able to play. And then I'm like,
well, I gotta check this out, and you chall on the stats and
you get through the highlights and you're like, Nope, she's going to be
just fine. Yeah, she'ld be okay. Yeah, but don't you want
to know if her and her boyfriend, if canoodled doesn't that isn't that it?
Right now? I need to know do they have matching pajamas? It's
a oh my gosh, yeah, we won't know unless we ask, Like,
ah, it's just so creepy, man Like. If people will make
an argument, they'll be like, ah, you know, the women and
the men are treated different. And then we can sit there and talk about
why the pay differential is what it is right based on revenue derived and the
process and all that, but when it comes to these press conferences, you're
right kind of and it shouldn't be And it's all the very same woke folks
who would sit there and tell you you're a bigot because you say, hey,
maybe you should just ask about basketball, and they're like, god,
but there's big social issues. Are you asking about her love life for on
her first day? And as Ross pointed out, where there is an overwhelming
storyline, it's clear what the storyline is. If if it's the third season,
right, and it's some mediocre game in the middle, and there's a
rapport that's been drawn, and maybe there was some I don't know, maybe
there was a reason that whoever she's dating is in the news, right they
were court side wearing a crazy outfit or something. Then fine, go ahead
and get into that, but do you know, do it in a in
a in a non creepy manner. But this is it. The only thing
that should be being talked about is wow, Okay, now you've just seen
what the first next level looks like and you and you dominated the same way
that they were sitting there an talking to Anthony Edwards, who put up forty
three points to beat the Nuggets. That was a wild game. The Nuggets
are really good. But no, no, we get we get the other
thing and uh ugh, this is crazy man, all right and a cop
dude. It was a crazy sports weekend. If I could for just a
moment, we get we got tons more audio, we get to on the
protest fromt But I need just a little reprieve the obviously you had, you
had, you know, playoff basketball if you get in the NBA or not.
Still, the storyline is nobody expects the Timberwolves were going to do really
well against the Nuggets, and they took game one. Now they still may
lose. Okay, the closest I think it was what the closest Cup finish
in history over in the world of NASCAR, Am I am? I do
I have that stat right? I believe that's correct. I think it was
the closest. Yeah, here we go. The closest finish in series history
took place over the weekend. And did you see the finish of the Kentucky
Derby. I watched that thing five times and had to walk physically walk up
and freeze it and walk up to the TV. So I'm standing there,
you know, that you're standing. When you were a kid, if you
stood that close, your your mom and yell at you because your eyes were
gonna burst or whatever to see it. And then the the golfer who was
winning the Byron or win in the PGA tournament over the weekend. He's got
a one shot lead. Tyler, No, that was the other day.
I'm sorry. Ben Coles is his name, and so this is the Byron
Nelson and he's got a one stroke lead. Eighteenth hole has one career top
ten finish ever, right, and and the eighteenth hole is playing as if
not the easiest, one of the easiest. In fact, nobody had bogied
it all day. And the dude melts down. But for their by their
standards, if I shot a if I shot a bogie, it, you
know, no, that's you know, that's just me on a part five,
probably gonna shoot a bogie. But this guy me, he shoots,
and he shoots a bogey, got a one stroke lead. And then the
dude he's playing with in his group shoots a birdie. So literally flip the
script on it. So if you like close finishes and crazy stuff, man,
it was your weekend. And all they had to do was not act
like creepers, and they couldn't help themselves. This is what man, All
right, let's do this. Let's grab ray here for man. You gonna
yeah, a good week for you because everything is just always it's you know,
it's not San Diago, right, it's gonna be a little up,
little down, and so let's uh, how you doing, and let's get
into it. Yeah, give you the week a little bit more unsettled than
the end of the week. Big cool down coming. I thinks the headline
had some rain yesterday Saturday across the area too, and more showers casey already
as we had through this morning of south of Charlotte and west of Hickory and
Ashville heading this way. So I think midday into the afternoon we'll start to
see the showers, the thunderstorms come back in here. Temperature wise, probably
get close to eighty. Most of us will stay in the seventies this morning.
I already start off in the sixties with some patchy fog and drizzle around
too, so that may be hampering things. More showers and thunderstorms around early
tonight, and we'll still have some showers thundershowers tomorrow, might add a little
bit more heat to the atmosphere, but there's still be plenty of dry hours
with the shower thunderstorm threat mixed in there. Mid eighties and then Wednesday maybe
close to nineties, especially in the Triangle, and it does look like shower
thundershowers of return of the afternoon. The cool downcoming though, is going to
be in a very pleasant weekend. I'm going to jump right toward that,
because we'll get a cold front to come through by the weekend, a high
load of mid seventies, could see some lows, especially from the triad west
end of the mountains, maybe into the forties, so you know, a
little un settled beginning in midweek. Later in the week it'll cool off,
and I think really by the weekend is going to be the payoff. So
fingers crossed and plenty more days to talk about that. A nice school down
all the way. Yeah, did your horse win the derby? Now my
horse came in second. Oh yeah. Do you guys do a random Do
you guys just do a random draw like everybody else? Uh No, we
kind of just kind of we didn't really do anything official. Everybody just kind
of picked their favorites and Yeah, we didn't get that much into it since
we were out of town. So usually we have a little gathering and all
that stuff. But yeah, we're just you know, but secondism as good
as first, but it's better than last. No, my horse was so
the way we do it is everybody throws in like twenty bucks, right,
and then you pay for a second third. And my horse literally at the
last second was like I don't want Casey to have money, so it fell
out a third. So sorry about that. It's all a conspiracy against me.
Man, all right, all right, appreciate Okay, all right,
there you go raced agic from the Weather Channel. Yeah. I was like,
oh, it was just it was just my money back. But still
like, come on man, the excitement for two minutes and nothing there although
the hats, can we stop it with the hats? Can't? I under
I'm gonna probably take flak for this, but you know that that tradition is
literally like that's a holdover British thing, right because they have I camera what
they call it over in the UK. It's a big damn deal where they
all show up and it's you know, hats and they have to have a
special suit and the ladies hat like it's a holdover kind of British thing,
and like, so we don't need that because I find it wildly distracting.
Then when all the little cutesy hosts are running around with obni the obnoxious hats,
like, we don't have to do that. We won, right,
so we won. Let's let's figure out the Julip thing can stay. The
hats gotta go. But because you know, we claim victory before the British
what was it somebody said they blew a thirteen colony lead, we can change
our hats. Okay, all right, there you go seven forty six eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four if you want to defend hats.
More audio coming up next. Hang on a c O Day radio program,
I mentioned the British too, I was probably mentioned this. So they
had a they had a guy by the who was what party? Okay,
Green party, but this is the British Green Party who was elected in Leeds
and at his victory party starts shouting alawa akbar, which you know contextually can
be fine. The problem is this dude, and this was known to voters,
put out like social media victory videos. On October seventh like cheering on
what happened, and this dude just got elected. And then somebody had a
stat and I was kind of I didn't search every aspect of it, but
enough to satisfy me that it's probably mostly right that in all major British cities
now or like top fifteen or whatever they have like twelve or fifteen that they
consider their major city, every single one, either the mayor or the majority
of the council and council online parties are Muslim now. And you know,
when you consider the total population of the UK and the Muslim population, it
is way higher than than the percentage there. And how like how a dude
who's who's literally like, yeah, you get you get those party goers and
then you elect that guy that is wild to me, man, absolutely crazy.
So yeah, that is uh, that's just since I mentioned the UK,
thought i'd bring that little nugget up. All right, let's get to
uh, let's get to uh some of the call or call some of the
audio rather, Oh man, where do we start? Well, let's go
ahead and start here, shall we. So the May the fourth right Saturday
obviously one of the UH. I refer to it as the nerd high holies
that and pied A get very excited. But you know that's fine. And
what a weekend you got May fourth, and then say cold a mile May
fifth, right, they and it landed perfectly on a weekend you could go
out and probably have a pretty good time, maybe some of you did.
And it all would have been fine until Mark Hamill showed up in the White
House and uh, well, you know I called him. This is him
kind of kicking off the press briefing. He standing next to Jean Pierre,
who in a later photo the two would have the most awkward hug I've seen
in a while. But anyway, I'm sorry, let's listen to uh luke
here. Well, you know I called him mister president. He said,
you can call me Joe, and I said, can I call you?
Joebi wan Kenovi the fourth be with you always. That's a little Biden's little
tag. There's beause there's him doing that, and then there's him in the
Oval office with a weirdly close little like video being taken. But okay,
all right, whatever. Yeah, half the time when Hollywood schmoozes with political
people, it's a little cringey because, for whatever reason, and they both
have to be charismatic, but some of them aren't or they should be usually
and then it's just this weird thing. So that's going on there, and
I'm like, oh man, that was but I think a lot of that's
colored by Mark Hamill is an incessant turd on social media, and it's just
annoying because there's no reason for it. Also, what happened to his neck
in the one video? Doesn't look like he has a neck, So I
thought that that was going to be it, but God blessed Justin Trudeau,
who himself had to put out a little video for May the fourth, and
this is this is what we get. He's sitting at the desk bones he
by the way, does that look like a presidential or does that look like
the desk in our boss's office? Right like you know our dad, you
know, you want to talk about head of state's desks. United States has
a pretty good one. Pretty good one got secret compartments. There's treasure in
there, I mean, or there was some guy took it, but you
get my and he's just sitting there like he's middle management. So I'm sorry,
back to this. I hate that ring Tom, not just on him.
But hey, Hayden, how you doing, Prime Minister? And to
you too, all right, so he couldn't even get Luke on the phone,
right, so he's got Hayden Christiansen, who obviously spoiler Luke's father.
So uh, anyway, all right, continue, my friend. I've actually
told the kids they better be binging Star Wars amazing and so oh I'm working.
I'm actually packing up my stuff cause I got to hit the road soon.
But listen, May the Fourth be with you. I think you get
the gist of it. We'll tweet it out. We'll tweet it out.
You could check it out. You see both of them, because I did
tweet the the Hammil thing too. So I don't know, man, I
understand. I understand that I should be thankful because at the very least,
it kind of gets us away from, you know, really the deepest of
politics, except for the fact that I don't know Christiansen his thing. But
Hammil is very political. So I think people received it that way, and
it's like, can't we just just let people have stuff? Okay? Yeah,
it was Uh, it was busy, busy, busy over the weekend
of the world of Sports and the world of protesters. Here's a young man
who just can't understand how the police who are literally physically extracting him and his
cohorts, uh, just can't understand how they would interrupt this educational experience.
Listen to this and tell me if you're a BS detectors going on which,
by the way, up to that point, where is exactly what people are
thinking looking at him and his friends? This is a school. What are
you doing? But hold on, He's going to flip the script. Learn
I kind of learn about public health? Is that Okay? I didn't I
didn't study public health? That is this one of the requirements. I mean,
it might be considering some of these professors literally will give students extra credit
for Also, I feel like this discuss. You saw the after the photos
of UCLA after they re the protesters, and it's just destroyed. Right,
There's crap everywhere. There's quite literally crap in some places everywhere. I don't
know why, there is this thing that always happens with these moonback protests,
but eventually they start going feral. Give you an example. Do you remember
when they occupied the Wisconsin legislature over I think that particular vote was over the
government unions, right, and they decided they were going to occupy the legislature
and immediately because you have to know in Wisconsin, like a lot of the
you know a lot of cold weather places is there's tunnel systems, and in
Wisconsin it happens to be a above ground so you can kind of see like
they look like Gerbil tubes man and that. Then people all the protesters were
just going there and do their business, and at UCLA doing that too.
It's just, ugh, how is that from a public health perspective? As
somebody who is educated in that, how why would you hang out there?
You should have the knowledge to know that this is not that's not a very
healthy environment. But whatever, all right, So there's that, and then
we started seeing these videos and I'll give you my favorite example of those who
couldn't make it to the protest but still wanted to let folks know that they
stand by them. And it's it's dumb. Here we go. My name
is Case and I graduated from cal Poly Humboldt in twenty twenty two with the
Masters in Sociology. Protesters of cal Poly humbler have taken over students are pre
named into Fataho okay one speaking to the mic person, I don't know if
it's nay them or whatever. And by the way, the protesters at cal
Poly Humboldt took over and decimated inside the buildings of graffiti, busting everything off
the wall. It was wanton destruction. But anyway, so what this person
is ripping up is they have a degree that they've received from one of the
cal Poly schools. So it is the paper degree that this individual's ripping up.
And eventually, well, well let's listen in it's for twenty second to
demand and Israel's genocide in Gaza and university's role in the occupation of Palestine.
Protesters at cal Poly Humble demand that the university de escalates by calling off police
and ensuring no academic consequences for students involved. That the university disclose and divest
their financial investments in the Zionist apartheid state, and that the university calls for
an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Yeah, you get to your sacrifice.
Calupoly Humble administration has refused negotiations and instead continues to escalate the situation by
criminalizing protesters family. So today I'm burning my diploma in solidarity with the brave
protesters of cal Poly, humble and across the so called US who refuse to
back down, and incomplete solidarity with the people of Palestine. Okay, all
right? Do you you know? And and then they proceed to rip it
into little shreds and uh, ENLiGHT it, light it aflame. You know
that that doesn't that doesn't mean anything, right, Like if you let's say,
uh, let's say you have a a doctorate from Harvard, Ross,
I have a Do I have a doctorate from Harvard? We'ress gonna look that
up real quick. Yeah, so a check and you do not? I
do not? Okay, all right, let's say I did and then I
lost the diploma. You don't even have to burn it. This is I
couldn't find moved and then I couldn't find it. You know that doesn't mean
that I have to like go back to school, right, No, I'm
pretty sure. I'm pretty much sure. It means it's over right, I
have to if I want another die So if I want to be a doctor
again, I have to go and put the time in. Is that how
it works? So? Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't think
that's that's not at all how it works. You're still that so okay,
now you have to now what are you out. I don't know what the
replacement costs on one of those is from school. Some universities will replace them,
some have a fee, right, okay, so what the hell are
you talking about. It's like when people burn their jerseys or whatever and you
can go buy another one. Yeah, although, but they do that symbolically
and this I understand that there's symbolism here, But that's sports. This is
life, do you know what I'm saying? And for some people, sports
is life. Like I remember when far I've talked about it. I remember
when FARV came to Minnesota and like over Wisconsin, all of these bars would
like have far of memorabilia burning nights and it was very amusing to watch,
as as you know, the from a rivalry perspective. Plus, we would
call bars and randomly uh uh and then randomly asked to talk to people,
right, and and listening to drunk packers fans explain why they're burning. It's
just funny. But I don't think they're delusional people at the end of the
day. Rights, it's just kind of their response whatever. But in reality,
like this person believes they're making a difference and you're not. You could
just go get that or at the Ross's play, you just go get another
jersey, go on NFL dot com. I mean, but like, this
person thinks they're making a difference, and in reality, what was the degree
into by the way, it was the humanity? Was it a humanities degree
or something? Hold on, I gotta find it here, Like what whatever
will the world here? We go? Yeah? No, it was a
Masters of Sociology. I mean, what will this world do without another university
at California University Masters of Sociology degree holder? I don't I don't know that
we can go on, or maybe it changed your mind, you're like,
wow, look at the bravery of this individual burning this piece of paper that
they can order a new one of online. They're so brave. But the
funniest moment, hands down, and all the protesters are insanity, and boy,
this is like, you know, one of the rules if you're a
politician is never hold up a white piece of paper, right, even if
there's something written on it, because now you're a meme. Biden just did
oh what did he did? He did one the other day what was it?
He tweeted that mental health thing. Yeah, he's like mental health is
health or something, right, and and tweeted it unironically by the way,
or his people did. But it was on like a white graphic and it
immediately and it had his signature under it, and immediately even the most basic
photoshop person, now you have a meme, and now there's a meme generator
for it. And in that same way, I think that people have brilliantly
noticed that if you have these these gods of protesting, some moss protesters standing
there at e lectern right, you know, rallying the crowd, but they
have their big stupid mass on, you can make them say whatever you want
because you can't see the lips moving because they have their their their their brave
mass on, which is totally about health and not about hiding identities. And
somebody mocked up this video of these two women at Colombia and like they did,
so I'll tell you what's so perfect about it, because again you can't
see the lips moving, but the gestures and mannerisms of the women fits with
the language so well, Like there's a part I'm a play it for you,
but I want you to watch it. There's a part where because one's
standing next to the one doing the talking, and the speaker transitions into this
part that you're gonna hear about how Jewish students have all these friends, and
then there is a quick nodding of agreement by the other individuals. So they
perfectly timed this. It's very well done. Here's the here's the audio.
By the way, So the main reason that we're protesting today has to do
with the fact that nobody has ever invited us to any keggers on or off
campus. We've never been invited to any parties. We've never even been looked
at by any men. I mean I used to be into men, but
then I decided that it would be easier to be non binary. So these
are the main reasons that we are against Israel. It is also really frustrating
that many of the Jewish students at the school seem to have large friend groups
and are able to meet people and have fun and have a good time,
and we just see that as colonialism at play. So without colonialism, we
would be able to level the playing field and make sure that students like us
would be the center of attention as opposed to popular people. Okay, all
right, so you know, obviously it's an encapsulation of an argument that we've
talked about here that people make. It's like, why this is this seems
like a group for people who can't don't fit into any other groups. And
and I don't know, I don't think that that's one hundred percent false when
when you see some of this stuff, right, like the that weird ren
Fair couple we had last week's audio, so, like said, very well
done. I'm concerned though, in a in a in a world with so
much better AI and everything else out there, when people should be naturally suspicious
of anything. Even leading up to this, the number of people who thought
that was real and it's not just a testament to how well done it is,
like you can't see the lips moving, the mannerisms fit with what they're
saying and all that. But at no point did I look at that and
go, oh, that's probably them. And I was blown away by the
number of there's still there's still people even after I said, well, come
on, it's obvious that come on, dude, the mic clarity is like
way too yes, and that well that I started thinking that maybe for you
and I it's easier because you're right, it doesn't match. If think about
what you normally hear when somebody's standing outside and there's a crowd, even if
they're speaking, there's a crowd, noise, there's wind, there's all these
things. And the quality of the audio was clearly recorded on a on a
very good mic in in a room, and then they did mix a little
background in, but no, hell no. And then people are getting mad
at me though it's not that obvious, and I'm like, dude, if
you can't figure this out, the internet's not for you, cause you're gonna
get duped a lot and end up financing your waterbed. It's what you're gonna
do. What who would do that for? Is it? But it's probably
zero percent APR? Right? No, it's a super high APR. Oh
man, that's that's I can't believe anyone would do that. What do you
do with thinking that's real? Come on, you get it. But it's
really well done. I would encourage you to check it out because it is
that all right, let me uh, let me pull out of that for
just a month. Oh I got it. No, I'm sorry. I
I promised you the Trump ad. Let me do that first, because I
want to talk about a couple of local stories. But uh so Google initially
said, hey, we're not gonna run this ad. I'm gonna play the
ad for you. It's a woman who is sitting in like a campaign office
making calls. Is a call bank? Okay, that's standard stuff that unfortunately
has already begun infiltrating our life. By the way, how many of you
raise your hand, have now had multiple people cold call you for polling stuff,
for to ask you questions that's already started. I had like two last
week. I'm on the apparently I'm on the hell list. But so it's
that scenario. And she's reached a voter who has been a Democrat voter previously.
Right, she's just working down the list, make sure we have your
support, and the following conversation takes place. Oh and with the Biden campaign.
Yeah, yeah, I'm voted for Biden last time. That's fantastic,
is it? Everything costs more? Foo gus rent? Okay, but Biden's
helping pay rent for newcomers to America from around the world. You mean illegal
immigrants. I'm struggling to pay my bills, but Biden's paying rent for illegals.
They get handouts and I'm paying for it. But Biden can still count
on your vote. Right, things were better before Biden. I'm voting for
Trump, Take America great again. INCO's responsible for the content of this advertising.
Okay, all right, so it's not it's not some groundbreaking ad,
but it is. I think it's a proper way of packaging what is a
I think going to be a big thing to watch in this election, right,
traditional voting patterns based on different demographics, and like, if you look
at the polling and you look at the concerns out there, Democrats are very
concerned. Now you know what I think of polling, So who the hell
knows, But as soon as we start laying votes down, we'll know or
at least have a good idea, and then everyone can accuse everyone of switching
stuff. But it's not some groundbreaking ad. And Google was like, nah,
you can't, We're not going to run that, and they have reversed
it. And I think their objection, right was over the term illegal immigrant.
But if that is a hard and fast rule and then you reverse it,
is it really a hard and fast rule? And that play because they
wouldn't do it. It ended up everywhere. It was Saturday. It was
the only thing on social media, it felt like, outside of the student
protests. But they have since since reversed, and I think that that probably
I don't know if it's going to move the needle, but it probably encapsulates
what is the attitude of a lot of folks who have voted previously and are
looking at what's going on? All right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four what is going on in wake Forest? I was just
reading this story. We'll get into the details of that and the World's Worst
Drunk Driver all coming up. Hang on, Well, there was a few
videos. The majority of what you see as you see, you know,
protesters, counter protesters, folks embracing the frat boys summer thing. And then
you see one of the hamas protesters. This really like a bigger black lay
a black girl, and people were screaming Lizzo at her. To be fair,
she was screaming other stuff at them too, and you and like that
was that was really how they played it out at a lot of the Southern
universities. But if in one of the videos, while that's going on,
the person with the with the camera kind of pans over to the people yelling
at her, and one of the guys there makes a gesture like a monkey
gesture. Right, Okay, And and I just want to be I want
to be abundantly clear that is that is a racist thing. Okay, don't
call and argue with me. You know that you know that it is.
And and so I have no problem if the university says, look, that
violates our code of conduct, which is what they're saying because they've opened investigation.
But here's the issue. It's not just them. The Department of Education
and others have also are also looking into it. Headlines abounded over the weekend.
They'll just give you a smatter and here NBC News Ole Miss opens conduct
investigations. This was before the we got the Department of Ed. Person weighed
in, uh fraternity Boots broke oh who made monkey noises at ole Miss,
a black Ole Miss protester. So I have no I have no problem from
a code of conduct standpoint of that. That's just that's dumb. And yes,
you know the thing that I say, is it show me real racism?
And I'm there that is Is it the worst racism that i've ever know,
and but still like that it's not I don't care if you're just a
college kids, you know what's up? My problem is this If that is
a problem, and I agree that it is. I think the part where
like, did you see an MIT over the weekend? They were chanting and
they one of the chants is half in English and half in Arabic, and
so on the English side they would say something like, let's you know,
we have to remove all the zion or no, all the Zionists need to
be removed, and then in Arabic the translation actually that they would use is
death to the Zionists, which is essentially death to the Jews, because I
say, well, it's just about the Zionists, right, but that's Israel,
right. So it's like, and I don't know if you if you
know the population makeup of Israel, like, you're not hiding this, and
yet that's not a code of conduct violation. Now, different universities are different.
You can't compare what Old miss did or UNC did, what UCLA or
god forbid Columbia did. But as soon as you know, outside powers start
taking notice because this is unacceptable, then I expect the totality of it to
be labeled unacceptable. But no, does that make sense, right, Punish
the kid. If it's a violation of code of conduct, which it looks
like it is, go do that. Do that within your university system.
It's not illegal what he did. It's you could call it dumb, or
you could call it racist, you call all of that stuff, but you
can't then ignore Remember the remember the sign that dude was holding one or no,
it was a woman holding a sign where there was Jewish counter protesters and
their sign says hey, Hamas, like here's your next victims. I don't
know, is that not a code of conduct violation? I'm very confused with
this stuff. So, uh anyway, let mean uh that that story and
then the one about the h the auditing firm that Trump's company, along with
literally hundreds and hundreds of other companies used. They're like one of the biggest
out there. Uh they they they got smacked hard with some some SEC violations
and whatnot. And the headlines all read Trump's auditing company, which it's like,
it's not his, it's the one that he used. That's like I
used to we used to have how many of you had MCI long Distance or
whatever, what was the big company that we found out with the Arthur Anderson
thing was just a big scam that world come or doesn't matter. But that's
like saying, if you had their phone service, you're somehow complicit. It's
just the dumbest thing. And the reason that they included Trump's is obvious.
But normally in a story like that, you wouldn't include one of their customers.
And the reason is is because from a journalism perspective, you would realize
that it might give the false impression that they were somehow complicit or had knowledge
in it. And they were very clear in their statement that Trump was not
or his company was not. They're not accused of anything here. They just
hired one of the big firms and turns out that there was shenanigans going on,
and there were hundreds and hundreds of other companies that also use this firm.
So but you got to do that to distract from the rest of the
insanity that's out there. Meanwhile, closer to home, I was interested in
this story because I think I was talking about neighborhoods and communities around the Triad
triangle where you know, the general impression is that it's it's gonna be a
much safer environment. It's very family oriented. They have a lot of stuff.
There are a lot of programs, sports for the kids, good schools,
all that. I think wake Forest is there. I mean, the
biggest beef I hear about wake Forest is the size of some of the developments
and then the traffic that ensues. Ross lives in wake Forest. What I
say, I say, just stop it stop. But what do you mean
stop the building? Stop it? Okay, Oh, we've had enough.
You're all out of it. We're out of buildings. Ross has no more
sun. So he's personally affected by one of these buildings. But but that's
that's, you know, in the grand scheme of things. That's a good
problem to have, if you know, to be known for, you know,
as far as bad things go, Like, it's just there's a lot
of it's busy because they keep building new stores and and play you know,
stuff for the stuff for families to go to. All right, fine,
However, they also have an event. I'm gonna be very careful because I
had a little slip on his it's called Friday Night on White Am I correct
on that? Yeah? So this is okay, And this is like a
lot of communities. This is something that happens during the you know, the
warmer months, and uh, here we go April, between April and September,
and basically downtown on White Street is like a little open air party.
They got concerts, they got you know, various stores are embracing it and
they're you know, people are strolling and walking and I I, admittedly I've
never been up to one of these events, but you know, it sounds
pretty similar, except now they're struggling because it's also being seen as a babysitter.
The town of wake Forest has announced they're considered implementing a curfew and other
changes because, according to the town, parents just drop off the big bus
loads of teenagers who then run around and cause problems. In fact, they
say that the unintended teens numbers has grown exponentially and that they're looking at a
curfew with this in this is what balls dealt with, right, because the
people had just dropped them, all the kids off, right, And and
when you're a teenager, a gathering point for you and all your friends.
I like, I get that we had we had a parking lot in town
when we were in high school and everyone kind of cruised the main street and
there's a parking lot we could pull in and talk to people, and you
know, you create your own fun. But we all we weren't running around
uh doing uh doing crime and stuff and uh harassing families and uh there are
multiple fights, merchants reporting uh teenagers walking in and just being obnoxious and stealing
stuff in some cases. And so they're gonna have to get into this.
And I got to admit, that's not at all what I thought of when
I pictured this thing in wake Forest. It's ridiculous the event or what it's
been. We've been like, you know, I live like right there.
Yeah, you're a very where you can hear it. It is super loud
and Lincoln has hard time sleeping a night. They're supposed to stop music a
nine o'clock and it just goes and it's super loud, and the traffic is
ever. There used to be a big parking lot over by the CVS on
White Street where you could park. Yeah, that is that's not existent anymore
because they're building what like like I mentioned, they just keep building, they
build it. They're building these new townhouses. So that's eliminated that parking.
So we had issues before people will just like park in front of our driveway
or park in front of our house, and it's just not a fan,
have not been a fan. And it's just now I'm concerned about Yeah,
the children, So we need to stop this event because of the safety of
the children. Has nothing to do with me, right, sleeping house are
yeah? Right now? Yeah? No, fine, man, you're a
big You've always been passionate for the kids, like the Lambo for the kids
and all this stuff. Yeah, yeah, you're a you're a fighter.
So all right, so you just think so it's not even the one issue.
You just want the whole thing to go completely. It's impossible to drive
past that way because they shut down all the roads to drive around the stupid
thing. Like I said, yeah, I'm not one who would generally go
to something like this for all the reasons, but the parking and oh the
parking across the driveway thing. Dude, No, it's so annoying. Who
who does well you have eyes? Right, you drove like people live here,
man, like people we live here. You know, my house is
across from an elementary school and car car line is an issue. Sometimes cause
the car line will line up and they're blocking not just my drive everyone's driveway.
Uh you know in there, some don't. Some parents do the thing
just like you wouldn't block an intersection where they kind of wait. But the
number of times where I I I even had a conversation with a woman and
she just looked at me like and then points to the school. It was
a nonverbal It was across point to the school, and I'm like, I
understand, you're here to pick up your kid. You're about to get rammed.
What is wrong with you? So all right? Never mind? Ross
got me on his angry train. I'm here for it. Raced Agic is
from the Weather Channel and also is probably annoyed when people partially across his driveway.
What's up there? Hey? But yeah, we had a spot to
where we park that we behaved ourselves most of the time. Oh good,
okay, yeah most of the time. Anyway. Really not gonna see no
a lot in the way of sunshine today. A little clouds, mist and
fog still be reported in some spots. This morning. Showers off to the
west started to come in slowly. I think the safternoon so widely scattered showers,
a few thundershowers in today's forecast, and I think that's going to be
the rule through maybe even the entire week, scattered areas of showers thunderstorms.
A change coming will be warmer temperatures at first and actually getting hot humid here
midweek and then cooling off a bit, so a few showers thunderstorms, especially
the safterdoona and this evening upper seventies to low eighties today, showers and thunderstorms.
Tonight, the stronger storms may have some downpours once again, and Tomorrow
will have some showers thunder showers midday through the afternoon, with some partial sun
mid to maybe some upper eighties, so starting to feel some of that heat.
It could be close to ninety in spots Wednesday and again in the afternoon,
some shower stutterstorms in the forecast before we start late week, maybe by
Friday of the weekend cooling off. I want to get to the weekend only
because I think it's going to be so pleasant around here that we may forget
all about this warm and increasingly warm temperatures and committing around. By the weekend,
we may only have highs in the seventies with maybe some of the low's
case seed down into the upper forties, especially from the Triad west into the
mountains. So I gotta get a nice little break from the on to get
off again. Shower stutterstorms this week, wait till the weekend, there should
be much improved. All right, thank you, sir, and we'll talk
tomorrow. Have we go on? Okay, we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger.
Hang on, well, good morning, casey. News of an April
slow down in job growth renewed investors hopes for interest rate cuts. Tech stocks
led a Friday rally on Wall Street, and the futures point to a continuation
of that rally. This morning. The now futures are up one hundred and
sixty three points. We get more job market news little over an hour from
now the conference board. We're released at some lament trends index. It's a
forward looking index and it may offer some clues to the face of hiring in
the months ahead. Warren Buffett says corporations can expect their federal tax bills to
rise. Buffett spoke over the weekend at Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting in Omaha.
He said Washington is preparing for major tax negotiations next year, lawmakers are going
to be looking to shrink the federal deficit. Buffett also advocates higher taxes for
wealthy individuals. Starbucks' former chief executive has some advice to the coffee chain,
which posted the first decline in sale since the early days of the pandemic.
In a LinkedIn post, Howard Schaltz urged Starbucks to fix its operations and own
the shortcoming without the slightest semblance of an excuse. Directors of Paramount Global reportedly
decided over the weekend to consider all buyout offers, and exclusive window for sky
Dance to negotiate a deal expired on Friday. Now, The New York Times
says Paramount has agreed to open talks with a buyout group led by Sony Pictures
and Apollo Global. You Casey. Employees of Daimler Truck ratified a new four
year contract. Negotiators for Daimler Truck from the United Auto Workers hammered out the
deal last month, among other things, that will raise workers wages more than
twenty five percent. This is a pack that covers workers in North Carolina,
Tennessee, and Georgia. Casey all right, thank you sir, appreciate it.
We'll talk tomorrow. Okay, have a good date, take care.
Right there you go. Jeff Bellinger, CaCO Dave Radio program. Let me
quick update on this. So you remember the video of the student in Winston
Salem smacking that teacher a couple times, and actually there was another incident in
the January, February and then April was that. So like that's two dips
at the well where a student has put hands on a teacher and the first
time wasn't enough. So now obviously with the viral video, the second time
that got people, that got people noticing, well the student is now charged
as an adult with like some big time felonies. Yeah. And I did
see some some of the you know, defund the police people who are upset.
They're like this is this is the prison pipeline all this, and it's
like, I, you know what, okay, right, because it also
tells other students all of the crap that you can get away with in our
modern educational system does not include physically assaulting a teacher. And you know,
we've had some crazy videos. We had that one here and then we had
I remember that big student who had his his what was it, like,
a play a little handheld gaming system taken away and pummeled that teacher out in
the hallway. It was a female teacher, right, So yeah, I'm
okay with this that people are like, Oh, Jim O'Neill's just doing this
because he's running for office. Your mind, he's in the runoff, which
is what next week. Next week is the runoff for lieutenant governor. But
I don't know that that's like Jim O'Neill is Jim O'Neill, Like he's been
around politics enough here you kind of know where he stands, and I think
people are outraged at that. So, yes, he is a seventeen year
old facing among you know, felony assault and kidnapping. I believe it's one
of the charges, which again this goes back to not letting somebody leave a
situation. Is that strong compared to what other students have been charged with recently?
Yeah, but I think that that speaks to the cowardice of some of
the other school districts and other prosecutors. You can't have the students thinking that
they can sucker punch teachers with minimal like that's so over the line. So
over the line. So yeah, I'm good with this. And you know,
I don't know if he's got other charges. I don't know what the
background is. I've seen pictures of him throwing gang signs up, but like
that's social media, so you know, that doesn't always mean somebody's in a
gang. So I don't know that, but I do know that if you're
another student in Winston Salem, you're another student in North Carolina, and you're
following this story and you've ever even thought about smoking a teacher, just know
that these are the consequences that may come come along with it, And obviously
your mileage will harry depending on which county you're in and who's doing the prosecuting
