It's a Monday, fun day, so you know that that That's the thing.
I'm trying to think if there was anything anything happening yesterday, anything going
on any we grab the uh sorry, it's a Monday. Let me grab
the big old stack of super important stuff that happened yesterday. Let's see here,
I'll owe you that trans Day of Visibility? Ross. Did you know
that it was the trans Day of Visibility yesterday? Really from a news perspective,
the only game in town? So oh no, I'm sorry, wait,
hold on, hold on, now that is that's awful of me.
Let me apologize right now. I'm just looking here. There was something out
Ross. Do you know what the other thing going on yesterday was other than
trans Day of Visibility? Uh? If you just had a guestmate, I
mean yeah, I mean I could, okay, and what would that be?
I would say it was Easter Caesar Chavez Day. Yes, oh okkay,
yeah right now, so you got it, nailed it, Nancy Pelosi
wishing everyone a happy Caesar Chavez Day. You know, I remember I remember
learning about Caesar Chavez, especially as somebody who continued educational pursuits after high school
in the state of California where he he he operated and I'm I'm not going
to get into, yeah, the totality of Chavez, but he was a
labor organizer. I'm not gonna get into the whole commy you know kind of
stuff that people throw out there. But he was very protective of his members.
In fact, one of the things that that Caesar Chavez was known for
is as a labor organizer, going and finding agricultural pursuits that had went gone
past Chavez, his labor union and or in early organizing basically his peeps,
and attempted to undercut their demands for wages by illegal immigrants. Right, because
remember you're going through an era that led up through brucero programs, which I
think today most people don't know what they were. But they were large scale,
managed programs where people could come here and work. And yes, versions
of them exist today, but not to the extent that they did. And
it was managed. But it was also managed in part because Chavez and some
of his interests they wanted to be able to maintain for the purpose of setting
wages for their members prices. So when scabs in this case, who happened
to be illegal immigrants right, which are a bit of a hot button topic
would come in, Uh, Chavez and his people allegedly, and it is
in the softest use of that word because uh, just google for five minutes.
Uh, they would go and have them beat to with an inch of
their life. So it would de incentivize people who were willing to undercut due
to their illegal status here. So yeah, so those so that and then
that, and then what were you rob? Sorry? Ross, were you
getting ready to say something about it? Sorry? You just put me to
sleep? There, you put me back to sleep. It's history and people
need to learn. So so it was a day of history that is true
historically, Yes, yeah, absolutely, get it in and it's ober.
This is what dreams are made of. And all the wisely runs with a
final four for NC State. It's the echoes of nineteen eighty three. I
don't think I knew. I don't think anyone in my phone yesterday. I
don't think anyone I knew was sober at all at at any point. And
and even if they're just high on the moment, Okay, so yeah,
crazy man, n C State. And then and what was oh, yeah,
easter, I know it's I know, it's apparently it's you know,
it's new, or it's it's not hip or whatever. But yeah, that
was that was that another thing yesterday. So look, uh, we'll get
into all of that. Guys. There there, there's there's there's crazy for
Miles on all of this, and uh, the way that the White House
handle it, brands were handling it, you can't deny that. Yesterday,
even if you're not a big college Ross Ross watched some of it, and
he's just you're not a college basketball guy. I've never heard you talk about
college basketball ever. Ever. Ever, that's not a knock, it's just
that's just not your thing. No, I'm not a big college sports fan.
However, when I do choose a team. When I moved here in
two thousand and six, I was told I had to choose a team,
and I was like, gets point the gun at you and I was like
you and C seems weird because I wasn't born here like Duke. Was like,
it's I don't have the credit score for Duke. That's they would kick
him. It's not gonna happen. I went with underdog in C State.
I am a I if I have to choose one, I'm an NC State
fan. Plus, I have so many friends around the office here that are
NC State fans. I would say majority around this this building and this floor
are NC State fans. Yes, that would be that would be fair.
And then I well, so with NC State too. I when I moved
here, I like to tailgate, so I had I was in a Viking
season ticket group, and so from a tailgating perspective, it was very appealing
that doctor Campbell is he is he and he's and like all of his buddies
because they were all in the same frat at NC State. They are all
you know, they all had a big season ticket thing, and I kind
of got I got enveloped into the uh, the NC State season ticket tailgate
pandemonium. So you know, even though I didn't have like an allegiance from
going there or any of the rest, it was easily the most accessible.
But if you move somewhere, like to a new area, and there's like
a you know, a big sports community like there is here in the Triangle
right right, and you have to choose the team, it's weird, like
you have to go with the underdog, right Well, it's weird to move
to a place and be like I'm suddenly a Duke fan or you and Sea
fan. I don't know you ever seen these guys. They're like, let's
say that they're let's say that for the better part of a decade and a
half, they're all in on a dynasty level NFL team right where it's like
really easy if you didn't have a team to jump in there and you'd probably
get a ring and then literally you're willing to change allegiances within a moment to
the entire other division and nowhere near you and with a straight face, like
could you imagine that? Personally? Surely I couldnt. Okay, all right,
yeah, yeah, yeah, that's that would be I you know,
I'm sorry I even brought that up on today, which is just which is
just a crazy day, man, just to create is bonkers. You get
the men and the women from NC State there going final four. The women
have done it more recently, I think what late nineties, But I know
that I know the math didn't math on it, but and I think the
I think perhaps the uh, the selection committee, this is this is on
them. How do you not put how do you not guarantee in the world
to fix it? That Houston, who's the number one seed ends up playing
NC State again? How do how do you not do that? How do
you not look at eighty three and go, you know, we can we
we can math this out. I mean, nobody expected, obviously States to
be here, but like, can you imagine the just the level of insanity
that would be achieved? Uh, you know with the possibility that, like
you gotta guaranteed is what I'm sitting there saying, So here's what you missed
an opportunity. But you know, you can still rectify this based on the
storyline, you know how sometimes the storylines are just too good to uh uh
you know, allow fate to work out, and so uh right, that's
where the speculation comes through. That it's all like scripted, right yeah,
yeah, yeah. That big guy for State is an absolute legend. That
duds amazing. Yeah, Like see, you know, because I am following
along on X on Twitter, whatever, and I'm like, look at that
dude. It's a machine. It's a beast. Oh man, this is
gonna be this is gonna be crazy. It is gonna it's gonna be absolutely
insane. I gotta tell you. I obviously wasn't here for for eighty three,
but like I said, with with with Campbell and his buddies. You
know, I I fell into this group of guys that are he's probably one
of the younger ones, right, and then guys and these are all you
know, long time Raleigh natives, uh and got They're all like they're not
necessarily all state fans, but like they live for the lore, the local
lore. And I have had opportunity doing this to at some point through you
know, some charity golf stuff that we've done, and and arrive other things.
And I I'm not not bragging here, but I got somebody over at
NC State who I've him and his wife I've met become friends with, and
and he kind of keeps me up in the loop. He's he's one of
the muckey. He MUCKs over there, and like I find myself, even
though I didn't go to the school any of the rest of it, like
really excited. Really, I've got to seem because I'm watching, you know
how it is where you're like watch I don't have kids, but like watching
your kids be really happy or watching your friends all be really excited has me
pumped completely. Okay, all right, I sent so many texts out Jason
Cordel right used to work on this show. Oh y yeah, one of
my first friends when I moved here. I've known him since two thousand and
six. He did Overnight since you and O five sent him a big congratulations
yesterday. Ivan, who was an intern here in the show member, I
was at his wedding a few years ago. He went to n C State.
Carrie, who was another great intern here for me, also went to
n C State. Happy for all of them. So Purdue, NC State,
Alabama, Yukon, we're gonna do this thing. But again, even
if Houston had moved because Dukes who beat Houston, I guess if you're not
really painted so you know, best case scenario, State would have played them
obviously in the last round when they defeated Duke, so it didn't allow for
the natural progression of a rematch. But hey, other than that, I
think people are banging away. But again, that's great. I guess for
people interested in agricultural immigrant politics in Californias, these are Chavez stuff is great.
But yeah, yeah, some people felt there was there was a little
bit missing from you know, some politicians, some organizations and everything, and
well, I guess we'll lay it out for you. So all of that
is fair game. You just want to call in and wax poetic about that
time State one and then the dumb stuff you and your friends went out and
didn't celebrate it. We'll take those calls right because it's Monday. Whatever.
We appreciate the assists, so contemplate that will take a break, be right
back Cacoday Radio program. So yeah, we just it's just it's crazy town,
man, absolute crazy town. And again, I have for years lived
vicariously through many of the people I've gotten to know who are well one,
they're you know, native North Carolinians, Triangle, Tryad and points in between.
Got a big contingent out of Graham, which is an interesting cast of
characters. And you know, but you know, these are the these are
the these are the folks that have been here and seen it all. When
in North Carolina, so many folks are not from here, and uh,
that's just how it is. And that's and and that's why, that's why
people's interest and allegiances run the gamut. But like the old Raleigh crowd,
the guys who would always forget about how they tell me over at five points,
that pistol Pete that's where they go play and watch him and like the
old story, that's good stuff, man, and the legend of the you
know that the that one time that team in the eighties from NC State beat
that other team with two Hall of Famers eventual Hall of Famers on it and
the the thirty and thirty special, And just having met most of the players
who are still with us over the years at various events that we've done,
and you realize that like their life transition into being the living memorial for this
thing that happened, and uh, obviously it has, it has dominated their
identity and uh, it's it's crazy to watch some of these guys who you
know, just they'll show up for something and there might be if you go,
like I've been to a couple of celebrity golf tournaments like the well the
Valvano stuff, right and over the years and you know, you had Tory
Holt there in his prime all this and they're still gravitating over towards the uh,
the you know, the guys from the national championship team, which is
cool. Bit so I look, I'm I'm I'm glad. People are pumped,
and I hope even those although I'm not going to tell you how to
root for your teams, but even those of you who are a little disappointed
that UNC is out or Duke's out, or wake Forest wasn't in or what
you know, whatever it was, you know, it's a little bit of
pride at least in Uh, screw screw everybody else. Right, let's let's
as North Carolina. Let's let's go pick them apart. Man Yukon, I
mean, what even is that? All right, let's go ahead and get
into this, dude. So yesterday, yes, all of the things that
I told you, and obviously I did it in an order which one of
you did not pick up on. And now you're all mad at me,
as though I'm sitting there implying that Easter is the least among the things.
No, No, that was me pointing out that the priority for reporting and
for politicians politicking. Yesterday that was seemed to be the afterthought. So again,
try to follow along or get another cup of coffee, Okay, whatever,
dude, but you know, try to pick up on what we're putting
down. All right, good, okay. So, and even that,
even they even the Easter part, even though politicians didn't want to get into
it. And the White House, well, they did send something later in
the day. It looked like a little congratuatory look like one of those motivational
things that women love to post on the on Facebook, right, and they're
not really saying anything. It's a little card. It's like I am my
own person, all right, So a little Easter message from the White House.
But it didn't kick off with that. It kicked off with you got
the trans day of visibility, which obviously we just stick it here because I'm
not making this up. Because the activists who pushed for it didn't want it
too close to all of the other days. They wanted to space it out,
which is which is a fun which is a fun thought process. Right,
You need a day of visibility, but you have to find a place
to schedule it because you have too many other days and months a full month,
but two technically, So that's you know how sometimes we say first world
problem in the sense of holiday, that sounds like a first world problem.
We have so many possible days or days that already are kind of, at
least in part or totally about us. So this other day we want to
create to add on, We're having scheduling trouble, right, and so it's
just going to have to land here, which based on you know, is
in this window where from a calendar perspective, every now and then it's also
going to happen to coincide with a with Easter, and you know that happens
sometimes when you have movable holidays and unmovable holidays or days. We recognize nothing
you can do about that, except when you're when you're putting one together,
you can be like, huh, is this a possibility? And if it
is a possibility, how's it gonna work out? And how it worked out
was, you know, corporations doing the corporation thing, all of them sending
out stuff and then a bunch of them not sending out anything about Easter,
and people go, well, yeah, you know it's because the Easter has
been around for so long. And then they get into the uh either yesterday
either Everyone was trying to tell you in this in this discussion that there's two
tactics. One all the Easter people are bigots anyway, so screw them,
or the flip side of up to it, including the White House, is
all of a sudden they're religious folks and they want to remind you that they've
been they've they've all you know, they've been so religious all of their life
that they're here to tell you that Jesus was, he was, this was
this was his idea, right, and then he saw a lot of those
posts on there. And you know, here's the thing. I'm like,
I'm sitting there watching these pro these gods of protesters go in and decide that
they were going to take over Easter service at you know, Catholic cathedrals,
And I'm like, is there any scenario on the flip side where this works
out in any way positive, where they're where folks are not charged with a
hate crime. I mean, really, let's just let's be honest here.
I hate crime if if if organizers with a with a quasi connection to either
Judaism or Christianity were to go in and be like, I like glue themselves
to the kabo. Okay, right, that's so that's the the thing,
the rock, the stone, the little I'm not doing justice the full description,
but you've seen the pictures of Mecca where they're all running around and and
that, you know, do your thing. But you know, I want
to make a point about this thing, and I don't like. I don't
like the fact that part of the Muslims world's countries, spearheaded by Iran,
are now throwing support for uh, you know what you saw with the Hamas
attacks. So I'm gonna go glue myself through. How do you think that
goes? How do you think here in the US if you were to seek
out a mosque and decide that on one of the you know, the most
holy days of the Islamic calendar, you were going to go in and use
that as an opportunity for your thing. I don't think it would end well
if you went to a synagogue to do that. I don't think that it
would end well if it was I wonder if it was the same group going
to a synagogue rather than a Christian church, which you'll notice they chose the
one and not the other. Brought that out there for you. I feel
like this might have been viewed differently and not as empowering as some people were
making it out to be. And you know, they're just trying to church.
And then I sit there and I see people go, well, look
it's a Catholic church, and they get everything because the thing with the thing,
and I'm like, I look, don't get me wrong, is somebody
who has raised catholic all of that business was that's awful, absolutely awful,
And I got my I got my own issues all that stuff. But I
also recognize that whether it is Catholicism, Judaism, Islam, or you know,
pick your religion, it has been around for more than five minutes.
There's all sorts of stuff that if we want to get into a what about
this history battle, we can. So I try to look at it through
the lens of what what are people who proclaim to be members of the faith
doing, whatever the faith is today? How do they live their life?
What's the example that they set? And even if the best that they can
give you is just you know, I'm gonna do my thing and everybody else
everybody else is wrong, but I'm gonna do my thing and and just my
thing, and that's like, that's all. That's all that I really ask
of people. Just don't be a be very careful high word this, don't
be a okay, how hard is that is that? Don't I just if
if people ask me what's your what's your political philosophy? Then because I you
know, I'm not. I'm not. I'm independent in the registration. But
also I I feel like I just I loathed so many across the spectrum that
there's a certain level of independence which I'm just like, it's you know,
it's pretty easy. Leave me alone and don't be a right. That's that's
my political philosophy. And that goes to individuals, governments, right, just
don't we don't need more and and and yet they're trying to have Easter service
at Saint Patrick's Cathedral. And now I will say that, and I didn't
I get to get a look at the cholera on the one But I like
the church, the church folks, and I'm assuming one of them is I
just wanted the priests there, just priest either. They did a good job
of kind of like putting a move on these idiots. So in the video,
basically they decided to get up in the middle of Catholic Mass at one
of the highest profile cathedrals in the world within the faith of Catholicism, and
jump up with their stupid little signs and form a human wall so you couldn't
actually see the priest who was, you know, going through the Actually I
think it was it was the cardinal might have been giving mass there but but
yeah, and then but you're still dealing with weak sauce little moon bats.
So you know, a couple Catholic priests were able to essentially kind of battle
five of them in a tug of war, so like not bringing your not
bringing your best. They're protesters, but they weren't quite as lethargic based on
what I'm assuming is malnourishment as the some of the environmental moon back folks,
which you can kind of knock over with a feather. So there, you
know, there's a little pushy chovy. But I mean, in what scenario
does that play out in in in opposite lands? Right? What? What
what happens if protesters and and there is there is undeniably a religious component within
this thing that is being protested, whether do they deny it or not.
But what is it that? What is it you think happens if what do
you think happens if a Christian organization or Christian protesters who identifi as that but
say that they are protesting in support of Israel walk in and take over services
at you know, pick your high profile mosque of choice, and then you
tell me what media stories you're waking up with this morning, because this morning
was crickets crickets baby on this particular issue, other than a passing mention,
protesters did this thing and then more of an argument for whatever their position is.
And people see through that. People see through that, and it has
what the heck is going on here? All right? Sorry? Things being
a jerk? All right, people see through it, and you know,
hopefully in spite of all that insanity, we're able to celebrate what they wanted
yesterday, get together with friends, family, loved ones, people within the
religion, whatever it is, and not have to deal with you know,
the Uh yeah, so I hope that for you. But yeah, some
of this stuff is just really frustrating, all right? Coming up? Yeah,
coming up? We got oh, we gotta we got Lizzo news.
I know that's I should have probably led with that. I'm sure people are
are on the edge of their seat wanting to know what Lizzo had just said
and has said. And the the moonbat freak out over ozempig No, no,
not the drug. Just wait for it. We'll get to it here
on the cac O Day radio program. I did he make it to the
locker room before he started posting stuff yesterday. I'm talking about DJ Burns,
who I don't know if you know this. He's the big guy Ross referenced
last last hour for NCIS State. So I wanted to look this up because
he scored twenty nine points yesterday against Duke. Yeah, so he averaged eighteen
point three points. I understand that that's pretty good. That's my understanding of
that that if you everage eighteen point three points, that's pretty good. And
obviously I bet he's so po. He didn't get the thirty, but still
an amazing performance. And it's against Duke, right, so it's against it's
against a rival that did has not minded trash talking in the past, and
that's good. I love the trash talk component of all of this. And
like he started, he started just trolling Duke on social media. He's posting
couple videos he posted almost immediately. It's just him just dropping shots and knocking
dudes, and and he's throwing it up there and you know, making making
a little comments, posting some videos, and you know, the Duke fans
are going back and forth with him, and that's great. I love that
component's line. You know, as long as you keep it on just the
edge of civilized. I'm here for all that stuff. But well, let
me say this, and Russ and I are talking about this off the air,
some of you Duke fans, it's not the refs. When you lose
by twelve to a team that is a three or three and a half point
underdog in a game that sees the high score being in the mid seventies,
right, that is not akin to I don't know. That's what I was
reading online on X A lot of people were saying the end of this typical
Duke, Duke get in the short end of the stick and it's against Duke,
and they you know, nothing ever goes Duke's way. And I mean,
this is just this is what we've seen decade after decade from Duke.
Is this unfairness? Well, they never win, and well how many times?
How many times? Right? Okay? But also how many times has
Duke been trying to play a basketball game and one of their players like,
let me just let me just randomly pick a couple Laightner and Allen over the
years, right, Christian Ladner grays down and they're just trying to, you
know, move and then one of the other team's players will lay under their
foot. Have you ever seen this ross where the other player will like they'll
see, I've seen it. It's it's really the same get under their foot.
And then the poor duke players like, you know, oh why they're
being like, you know, scolded for stepping on that dude because it seemed
unsportsman like. And what they didn't see is the soccer flop where they got
up under the foot there at the end. It reminded me of you this
like in football, would like, you know, the Chiefs to lose,
and you have these fans and I'm not saying all of them, but there's
a group of fans at social media and every really in every fan base where
you're like, oh, so un fair. Everything's always used to you've read
the chid Patrick mahomes and never gets the calls and everything's against the Chiefs and
the refs the Chiefs. Really, Is that what it is? Yeah,
because some people would say that it wasn't always the Chiefs, but there always
is that team right where clearly the almost the way in which calls are handed
out or is kind of predicated on how that team was treated that week.
So it doesn't look suss right, and for a long time is the Patriots,
but it's clearly the chiefs now. But that's not to say that,
you know, they don't have good players, and it's not to say that
that necessarily in any way, shape or form, has been the has always
been the difference between them winning or losing. But there's times you could argue
it has what a day, what a weekend, what a what? Just
just craziness that has descended on North Carolina. And now it will push forward,
albeit a week from now to the Final four with NC State an eleven
seed there and I had to beat Duke yesterday to secure that position. The
trash hockey is legendary, the it's it's all the best parts of North Carolina
sports, right. I obviously I know that we have professional teams and we
have seen we have seen success. I wasn't here when the Hurricanes won,
but I understand that some folks had some fun around the city, around the
state, as you do. But you know, from a collegiate standpoint,
obviously, if you want to go through championships across various sports, the state
of North Carolina has got a crap ton. They are the they are the
perceived three year letterman can't turn doorknobs. Some of you will get that that
being said, when NC State wins, because it's only happened that one time,
it becomes this thing of legend. And understandably so the uphill battle that
NC State has when you're trying to convince a kid to come play. Who's
the top tier basketball prospect and you want him to come to the triangle,
let alone North Carolina, but to the triangle where you got Duke and UNC
right there, like two cobble together teams, requires them to put together teams
that don't look like the other two in the sense where you've got you know,
you got one or two of those guys that they were talking about since
he was in eighth grade, and and you go out and get it.
And I will I will commend both of those programs, although they have high
expectations. I really wondered, how with with the with the coaching transitions there
right where you're taking you know, UNC, who had back to back legendary
coaches, Duke who had UH, you know, the unspellable, the the
uh, the unassuming but highly effective uh Shruzhevsky and and I think people when
they were looking at replacing the coaches there. You know, if you looked
at the short list, the short lists were a bunch of names you knew
as a passive fan of the sport. And instead they they they went,
they went into their own rosters and and brought these these two guys forward.
I think I think they're going to be just fine. If if you want
my so analysis right, I'm not your super duper expert on all this stuff,
but I think both teams have transitioned fine. And I just pointed out
Duke's recruiting class for twenty twenty five, oh my gosh, and they just
got another a few months ago. I remember reading about yet another you know,
top tier crazy. They're going to turn into Alabama where they got third
stringers that would be starting at other basically any other school. They're going to
be fine. UNC is gonna be fine. These coaches, while they may
not have been well known outside of ACC sports and having to step into those
big shoes, I think that the university's made the right decision. So I,
for one, welcome this. And Wake Forest has a history as well.
They're not necessarily in the cycle where they want to be right now.
But you know, there's a there's a lot to get really excited about.
So yeah, let's go ahead and see this thing through. And uh,
you know, even if it's not your team of choice in North Carolina,
uh it, it'll be fun to watch. Uh be fun to watch people
everybody, everybody lose their damn minds if it happens, I'm here for it,
and I shouldn't be here for it in the sense that when when sports
gets big, big, big, big big, I got to make sure
that we keep you here because people may tend to gravitate over to you know,
uh sitting there and uh just focusing on sports. So that's why we
we we mix it in. We got some other stuff. We're going to
solve a mystery here in a moment, and I love every minute of it.
So anyway, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
I wonder if any of the guys from the tail Gig, I suspect they're
all hungover and not going to work today, but it probably not hungover yet.
That will be coming because people were getting down. Speaking of like quasi
sports, Rossie brought up the Kansas City Chiefs there. How do you think
the league's gonna handle of the Rashie Rice thing. And if you guys don't
know what this is. So Rice was the his second round Chiefs took him
second round anyway, Yeah, yeah, second round and wide receiver came in.
You know, wasn't he wasn't the most touted of the drafted receivers from
the last draft, but he he kind of became a fan favorite, started
putting up some numbers, got got high profile. Man, he excelled,
and over the weekend a video emerged, and holy crap on this thing.
Man. In the video you see a what appears to be a street street
race going on and it it it doesn't go well, all right, So
in the video, police, this is in Dallas where it happened, not
Kansas City because Rice is from Dallas. So in the video you see a
a Corvette racing a Lamborghini. Now this is I want to be clear here.
This is not the your guys' charitable lambo, right, the Hay's for
sheriff Lambo for the children. No, it's not okay, I want well,
I don't want anything being tied back to you. And you guys are
still on the fundraising side, So will you street race NFL players in your
Lambeau once it's acquired by the charity. Am I in the record here?
Well, I think people want to know what you're going to do with it.
Like I said, we're only trying to get the lambo. So in
case when I'm driving around the rare chance a child might see it on the
side of the road, it will. It'll bring them joy and they'll realize
my dreams. Can my dreams came true and it's so there. So I'm
not going to use it for street racing. I'm going to use it to
inspire the children. And you get to work, can pick up groceries and
let everything else. You use your car? Can I borrow it because I
would like to use it for one other thing. But it's not street racing.
But it is also to attract people who may see it, but not
kids. Will it will it inspire who you're talking I'd inspire them to come
have a drink with I will loan the Lambau for the children to you.
Sure, yeah, yeah, and the love that I love kids too or
something I don't know, right, yeah, So win win, win,
win win. But anyway, in this case, it was not the Lambeau
for the kids. Uh it was another Lambeau, the Corvette who was registered
to wide receiver Rashie Rice. I again, they're trying to put all put
everything together because the street race turns into a street wreck. In fact,
the crash, which actually involved a total of six cars but obviously it didn't
seem to kill anybody, ended and immediately the A team jumped out. And
here's what I mean by that. This group of dudes got out of these
cars, and not only are they fleeing and getting the hell out of there,
but they are armed to the teeth, which I don't know that it
is inherently illegal. It is Texas. I don't know if anybody in there
is not allowed to have firearms or whatever. They're perfectly within their rights.
And I got to be honest with you, if I wrecked my car and
was going to have to leave it after an accident, even if it was
to you know, go off the road to find somebody to be able to,
you know, help call the police. Because I know my phone was
trashed and I had firearms sitting in there, and the car was to the
point where anyone could get in there. I might too take those with me.
But they had a lot a lot in there because they jump out looking
like they're ready to get Ben Lauden. They got bags which beard have long
guns they have they're openly carrying a shotgun. I don't know what always there.
So as you can imagine, people got some questions, how will the
NFL deal with it? I don't know. I mean, I mean I
have an unbiased opinion on this. Now, Okay, all right, so
yes this is good because I you know, I probably have some biases here
and I have unbus you do not, so uh Already when it comes to
this these situations, right, do you ever have like a big ant problem?
Right? What you have to do? You have to go after the
queen? Right? And then the idea I actually did this was a problem
I did have, and we they had that guy came in and actually had
to steal the thing right down. It was so crazy. When it comes
to this team in Kansas City, there seems to be one commonality here.
Right. You have Jackson Mahomes who's like assaulting women in bars. You let
you have Patrick Mahomes's dad who's just had this what like third d w I
or whatever. He's just trying to go watch this kid play and then you
have this wide receiver causing is drama on the streets of Kansas City. I
would say the one Dallas, Dallas, wherever, doesn't matter. I would
say, the one thing in common would be Patrick Mahomes. I say,
I thought you're gonna go Taylor Swift. We went in a different direction.
No, I say, for the for the betterment of the league and for
the safety of the children, we need just to see how this plays out.
Because the one thing in common is Patrick Mahomes. He's the one factor,
right. I say, band Patrick Mahomes for a season or two.
I'm not saying a lifetime bands. You just want to test, yeah,
right, for science and see if the drama stops. If the drama stops,
the problem was Patrick Mahomes, Right, So you're not worried about any
of the cause. It's like when you know people would It's like when you
do one of those ex Twitter circles and it shows like everybody you have in
common and who who you community at the center of the circle is Patrick Mahomes
unbiased opinion. I have not I have nothing to gain from this banhand the
right from the a FC East. You can't even transferm if you want to
ban them from the AFC, Yes, and then just see how it plays
out. But conflict there, Okay, I'm not I didn't say that.
I said some would say, and they're probably Chiefs fans, So I mean,
what do you want? Like you can't trust those guys? So yeah,
all right, so Ross look at that. Ross has a ready made
solution. Should the NFL uh want to get in on this? And I
to be honest, though, it is gonna be interesting to see how because
of the here's the price. This is the problem with this, and and
I think it needs to be said, if they purely only react from for
the firearm reason, that's not a good enough reason. If because like like
I said, everyone who got out of that vehicle, I don't know their
ages. I just see the video and the pictures. They very well all
could be of legal age and of legal status, possess as many guns as
they want. And it is the state of Texas. And they weren't pointing
him at anybody, they weren't menacing anybody. They but they but they were
literally fleeing the scene allegedly, So there is that component. But if that
is the sole component. Then you're missing the point entirely because you're demonizing the
gun in that instance, as crazy as that sounds, and not the circumstances.
So I'll wait and see all the circumstances. But it also it's a
bit of a deflection to right. And you saw the NBA who went and
went after John Morant, who was the Grizzlies player who was in the Strip
club with the pistol. The difference is with that incident, and then there
was one other with Morant was he was brandishing it around in a scenario where
he couldn't legally possess it, and frankly, it was that it hurts the
image of responsible gun owners. But in this case you could make the argument
that the firearms are merely just a side product of it. If in fact,
well if in fact. Again, you got to go through the process,
and there appears to be illegal conduct based on street racing and leaving the
scene of an accident. So we'll watch how that's worded. Okay, all
right, you guys want to solve the mystery, because I got I got
to pivot away from sports. There was an incident in Tennessee yesterday and it's
I guess investigators are baffled. I don't know what's going on here. I
got to read you this insane article over what happened in front of a church
yesterday during yeah Easter Sunday service and the current detective work going on. So
we'll get into that coming up here on the CaCO Day Radio program. Good
Morning, we're solving a mystery. No, not why there was a pattern
yesterday of elected officials and companies that were seemingly prioritizing the newest of the LGBT
holidays with you know that whole Easter thing that two hundred million Americans in some
way, shape or form said that they aligned themselves with. But whatever.
No, No, the mystery is what happened in Tennessee that has officials baffled.
Authorities in Tennessee say they're investigating after a trailer full of Bibles was intentionally
set on fire in front of a church. Now, based on what I
just told you, and using your investigative prowess honed from years of watching Matt
Locke Law and Order or on Patrol Live Cops, whatever it is is your
spidey sense tingling where you think there might be a connection here trailer full of
Bibles Easter Sunday, trailer hauled to detached doused and then lit on fire directly
in front of this church. Do you feel that there might be a connection.
I just want to test for your investigative skills, and if you do,
I don't know, maybe one of you should move to this place.
All right, the church's pastor, Greg Locke said in a statement. Oh,
and I just want to be abuntantly clear off the front here, Like
every single thing similar to this right where there appears to be what normally would
fit the hate crime statutes that you know are are all the all the rage.
However, it also looks like one of those things that somehow won't fall
under that. When when it is a situation like that, I will readily
point out that one of the possibilities is the juicy smole a route. Okay,
So I don't know what happened. I don't know the motivation. However,
I'm not going to lock myself into some of the terminology you're about to
hear, right, I think that that has to be the leading theory.
Is there a possibility that somebody from the church did it? Yes, because
I'm practical, and I've seen all different variations and iterations, though they don't
tend to always go in this direction. But if you remember, I remember
all do you remember the girl who carved or she said that she she was
a George W fan, right, and she said that she was assaulted and
somebody carved a W into he was there or something, and and what was
it was? It was not just it was something else and the the it
they solved it because I don't have the story yet. Whatever she carved,
the totality of it, they realized that she had obviously done it in a
mirror because it was transposed. So if I was, let's say that I
was to run into Ross's studio and violently attack him and carve I don't know
something into his forehead, if he was to carve the same thing, but
do it in a mirror, obviously it would read backwards. And so they're
like, I didn't happen. So they look in all instances, across all
political spectrums and motivations. I recognize that that's a possibility. And if I
can recognize that that's a possibility, just having done this a lot, then
I feel like even the language used in the reporting. There is a clear
difference, right because if you remember the juicy smolet reporting, they had to
include the word a legend in there, but the vibe of it was this
happened, This is the truth. Yeah, we'll do the investigation, but
we're all going to operate as though it is one hundred percent true right off
the bat. And you saw everyone, including our vice president, jumping in
on this, even when people were going, now, wait a second,
you're telling me. You're telling me that in twenty below weather or whatever it
was, at two am or whatever it was in Chicago, in the douchey
part of Chicago, that a famous Hollywood actor was walking with a subway tuna
sandwich when he was randomly happened upon by guys who had a news, some
bleach and an affinity for Maga Country that those two met in the night.
I have questions. I'm a little skeptic, and that's because I have two
brain cells to rub together and I go, I don't know, man something,
so yes, all that is possibility. However, they're really hedging on
that. Now, this had nothing to do with the church in my mind,
all right. So the Sheriff's office issued a statement saying they believe the
fire was set intentionally. Okay? Is that because there's video of somebody literally
unhooking a trailer, pouring an accelerant on them and striking or enlightening them with
a lighter. That's some good police work. Loo, it gets better.
Hundreds took to social media to show their support for the church that was able
to proceed, obviously because it was you know, they didn't light the building.
The pastor said, the evils out there is fridaening. Thankfully nobody was
harmed. Okay, all right, So she was a W. It was
a B. That's I knew they carved that's right, because the W wouldn't
transport, So it was a B carved into her face, reportedly done by
Barack Obama supporters. And it turned out she it was backwards, all right,
So that's what it was. Thank you. Yeah. Sorry, Sometimes
things pop into my head like three seconds before I want to say them,
which I probably need medication. All right, So the pastor pastor passed,
we're not gonna let us get it down, okay. The Sheriff's office said
it's not known at this time if this was aimed at the church. It's
not huh, even if it was the church doing it, as some people
are alledging right because they're just like, I don't know, I guess they're
trying to pump their numbers up for Jesus or whatever. The allegation that in
and of itself would also be a scenario where it's aimed at the church.
So whether it was somebody who's like, you know, screw this church or
you know, screw churches in general, or the church going hey, we're
gonna in all scenarios, Yes, the church is the the the core factor
right where everyone meets kind of like Ross's theory on Kansas City right with mahomes.
All right, So they say it's not known if the fire was aimed
at the church, really up pulled the integrity of the investigation. Other details
can be provided. We assure the community were looking into it, YadA,
YadA, YadA. So they don't know if it was aimed at the church,
and then what was the other They don't know much, but they're looking
into it. But yeah, no, that's a that's a thing that happened,
and definitely take in a much more, a much softer approach to the
reporting than some of the other alleged hate crimes we've seen over the years,
all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Oh
right, let's go to the other big man, not the one friends he
state trashing on Duke for the last twelve hours, which is funny. But
Ray Stagic, who could have been a contender? How you doing? Man?
Could have been? We're good? How are you? I know,
I'm good, you know, but I'm also not somebody who's just trying to
commute in Dallas. So and uh, that that Rashie Rice thing is crazy.
You know, he's not even on your team. He's not even on
your team, and he's still reaconav it on the streets of Dallas allegedly.
So well, on the positive side, everybody's drunk still because right, yeah,
man, it was everybody I know was really really excited yesterday. So
yeah, Edgar ed congrats to them, maybe both NC state teams men and
women's. So yeah, that's pretty exciting, pretty exciting, weather Man,
not exciting, but warm eight eighties today and tomorrow a little bit eighties tomorrow
or the mornings have been pretty warm too. I don't know what I've clicked
on the AC clicked on a couple of times now that we've gotten into the
warmer. Overnight lows, Yeah, I can't take it. It goes below
seventy degrees in my bedroom. I got to turn it on. But anyway,
a lot of clouds around. There's a little bit more in the way
of some sun that'll try to get through today, especially to the east.
But clouds with some sun's probably gonna work both today and tomorrow, and then
the chance for showers and thunder showers will go up Tomorrow night to Wednesday.
Now are touting severe weather central US and just east as we go through the
next forty eight hours, so in Oklahoma, Arkansas, Missouri today and overnight
tonight into tomorrow to roll east and then like central Tennessee, parts of Kentucky,
northern Alabama, maybe North Georgia. But that line of rain and thunderstorm's
coming our way does weekend, So we're not expecting severe weather as we go
through Wednesday Wednesday night, but still shower thunder showers. Upper seventies on Wednesday,
and then much cooler, much cooler Thursday and Friday, highs only in
the fifties, the mid number fifties to maybe sixty degrees, lots of sunshine
though, so some beautiful weather late week, but the loads are gonna sneak
back down into the thirties tryad west and especially into the mountains, maybe some
lower mid thirties late in the week or the beginning of the weekend, so
we could be back to another frost. And some of the higher elevations too.
Could also see a little bit of snow or snow showers later in the
week. So today tomorrow we're probably gonna stay dry. Early tomorrow, evening
into Wednesday, shower thunderstorms scattered around, and then late week looks pretty good
with the chillier weather. Don't put the heavy jackets away just yet. Oh
no, no, no, no no. If you can get in the
eighties and people are gonna turn seasy, you're not like anymore. So I
know I'm about to click the heat on late in the week. All right,
we'll fix it so and then try it'll be better, okay, all
right, thank you sir, appreciate it. All right, h there is
a story. There is a story in Thailand. I was reading over the
weekend, and it's not some weird story about sex trafficking or anything. So
that's probably good but it's an interesting little composite of what happens when you refuse
to address what's right in front of you. So that'll that'll be in the
the the kicker stack, as we say, coming up and the associate,
we got to talk about this big AP story this. I saw this,
everybody ran this New York Times, Washington Post, you name it. And
it was a big, big, big investigative report on police tactics. And
let's just say that there's a lot of context that is seemingly left out of
this, and I know you're shocked to hear that, but we'll give you
the low lights, the highlights, all of it coming up on the CaCO
Day Radio. This is this is a thing, a big under or not
undercover, but a big investigative report that then popped up all across the nation's
newspapers and TV in which the I'll just let I want you to listen how
the AP's framing this. And then I want to start doing some of the
math. And I know it's Monday and nobody wants to do math, but
it'll be easy math that will provide context and I think is important here.
So here's the here's the way the series, which is referred to as lethal
restraint the sub headline. A reporting team led by the AP investigated police tactics
that aren't supposed to be fatal, like certain physical restraints tasers, and found
that more than one thousand deaths are blamed on this over a decade here in
the US. So to to parse this, here's what we know they are.
They have pointed to one thousand deaths or excuse me, quote more than
one thousand, so the number could be I guess one thousand and one to
one thousand, nine ninety nine. But even within that range, they said
that they found that over one thousand deaths were to blame for the less sometimes
referred to as less than lethal tactics, which are holds and tasers, things
like that. Okay, so but again this is over a decade. So
if you if you want to do the math here, you know, we
had three hundred and thirty million people. This is ten years. So once
you split it down from ten years to per year, and then you go
across the population, uh, you know the size of the population that would
enuh and oh there's another number. You need to know how many arrests in
America happened per year on average, and that numbers around ten million. So
that's one year times ten one hundred million arrests, one thousand to one thousand,
nine ninety nine of people who were killed by less than lethal methods.
But actually, he actually you gotta you gotta tweak that number a little more
because there's a line in the story. Let me read it here, all
right, medical officials cited law enforcement is causing or contributing to only about half
of the deaths. I'm going to read that again. Medical officials when because
it's not just it's not always they're one hundred percent responsible or this is or
something that like when when something when something happens where somebody is killed like this
and they're investigating it, they're going through and they're trying to determine a percentage
of cause or or what's to blame. Because then you which by the way,
is really the same scenario that people were screaming for with the quote COVID
deaths right where you threw that out the window. And you know, somebody
who was in hospice care happened to have COVID at the time of their death.
However, was already trending to uh, you know, to die.
Seemingly you had people ignoring the first part and people found that disingenuous. So
that's why I try to dig into this stuff. So you're saying the other
half, you do not believe that the methodology used or the individuals involved were
contributing factor. Instead, in those cases, generally, what you're dealing with
are pre existing health conditions, right, which could have been known to law
enforcement, or people who were on a whole bunch of drugs which you know,
you mix, you mix drugs, perhaps a pre existing health condition and
a couple tasers. Ironically, some of the tasers may have been necessary due
to the level of drug intoxication of the individual, which was causing them to
act insane and violent. So now you've got to remove half and you realize
that the thing they're talking about is point zero zero zero zero one percent,
And that's rounding up of all police interactions led to this. So much going
on. Obviously, people are still still recovering from the excitement, which I
guess rolls on. More so if you happened to don red rather than blue,
but NC State and everything over the weekend and the you know, just
Smash and Duke yesterday. But just the improbability, the insanity, the the
feelings that people who were here for what happened in the eighties with Alvano and
Crewe and how that felt. And the goliath that was the University of Houston
featuring two eventual NBA Hall of Famers, unquestionable hall of famers like and and
this team of this team of players that most, I guess most people outside
of the at least the ACC were not familiar with going in there and and
winning. And it single handedly in my interactions with longtime residents and people,
you know, Raleigh locals and the folks I've gotten to know over the years
playing golf and with certain groups, and and like I've lived vicariously prior to
this, through all of that with them on numerous occasions, just because it's
shaped the face of sports legend and war in the city of Raleigh. And
you know, you're already in the Triangle, and you're already in North Carolina
where there was rich history all across it. But man, there's so many
feelings that are very similar. It's insane. Just the messages and the communications
over the weekend, just talking with people during the game yesterday, I could
I had to stop because I found myself there were stretches where I wasn't watching
because I was just sending texts and messages back and forth. And I love
it. It's great. And then the trash talk and the you know,
everything that goes along with it was almost a nice It was a nice diversion
from this in the I think subconsciously in some cases, but very intentional in
others, whole trans Day of Visibility is going to be on Easter Sunday and
watching all of that horribleness unfold in the discussion topics on Twitter. Give me
a good old sports rivalry. I'm going to turn my attention to that.
And the White House did limp out over the finish line to finally get a
statement in at the end, but not before seemingly all statements of leftist politicians.
Was trans Day of Visibility stuff lighting up with the governor up in New
York was doing the rainbow lighting on what DIAGRAA? And then was one of
the towers in New York. I couldn't. I don't know if it was
They're at the old World Trade Site or what or Empire, but I think
there were three things that the governor decided to, you know, make a
big spectacle out of, and not one of the three was about Easter.
And some people were looking at that, maybe even ones who were fine with
that, you know, yesterday being both things and realizing that you're kind of
forcing you're forcing a choice on people, and that irritated him. That made
him upset, And I understand that. So yeah, I'd rather concentrate on
that all day versus or concentrated on the sports all day rather than that insanity
listening to idiots opine, both in person and in various statements. Joe Biden,
Well, look at look, Joe Biden's not tweeting all that stuff.
He could barely. Did you see the interview with Colbert? By the way,
I want this to happen so bad. Let me play you a little
chunk of audio here real quick. All right, So this is Joe Biden.
He this is you know, this is him Stephen Colbert. So it's
not this is not a tough interview. This is the panel stuff from the
fundraiser stuff. And I want you to listen to this exchange that Biden's talking
about with Donald Trump and tell me that when you hear it that you don't
immediately want this to be a thing televised for all of us to watch.
Here we go Raleigh, Saginaw, Milwaukee, Phoenix, Vegas, hot Atlanta,
the Philly suburbs, Manchester, Dallas, and Houston. Donald Trump,
as far as we can tell, has just been trying to win a third
championship at his own golf course. My question to you, sir, can
voters trust a presidential candidate who has not won a single Trump International Golf Club
trophy at long last? Sir, have you no chips? Well? By
the way, Also, that is Stephen Colbert not understanding where the Trump course
in North Carolina is. It is not in Raleigh. It is a Lake
Norman. Which Ross, you got the map in your studio. Is Lake
Norman in Raleigh? All right? Ross is gonna let me check it.
Oh, it's not. But it's near Raleigh, right, it's right next
to Raleigh. Lake Norman. It's right next to Raleigh, right and not
I don't know, say, directly north of Charlotte. All right? Hold
on, he's looking looking, well, maybe your map's broke, because that
Ross's map says that Lake Norman's just north of Charlotte. So but anyway,
digress, let's get to Biden's answer. I'd be happy to play. I
told him this before when he came into the Oval, when he was being
before you go sworn in, I said, I'll give you three strokes if
you carry your own bag. All right, then this clap. I have
a lot of questions one even though, remember one of the fun things they
like to do with Trump is they're like, we got to attack everything.
So then they attacked him for lying about his handicap, which, don't get
me wrong, I've played enough golf around enough people, including you know,
club players, right, not from a good standpoint, but like like where
you have people that play golf and right ahead of some of the club tournaments,
all of a sudden they play a lot of really bad rounds of golf
before it, which if you're not into golf, it will raise your gin,
which is your handicap mechanism g hi N. And when you do that,
then if you go into the tournament, you play your normal golf.
All right. I'm not accusing anyone in particular, but any of you who
have played in those scenarios, like, the suspicions abound and so when Trump
claims, what is he a five handicap? Maybe it was less than that.
And then they're like, I played golf with him once and I think
he used foot wedge, right those okay, whatever, But I've never heard
anything about Biden's golf game. I know he was a flanker back back in
the day, but is he also a good because even if I think of
five handicaps just juicing his score, I still am not spotting them three strokes.
As an average player, I would get decimated, right, my handicap
average there, and it's not a pierced there's a mathematical formula. But those
of you in the know will get this. It hovers around the mid teens.
I've had it drop a little lower. I've had a little higher,
but the thirteen to fifteen is where that thing is normally sitting. I'd get
demolished by a five handicap spotting them three strokes. I mean, yes,
all that aside, I've never played a round of golf in my entire life.
Right, I tell Roscal about golf stuff. He doesn't know what's I
would be able to beat Joe Biden in around of golf because that dude is
not making it two holes. He's passing out by the time he gets to
the second hole, or he's in the middle of a sand trap thinking he's
in Iraq, telling everybody that his son also died and my son died in
the sand trap. Is like he'd have no idea where he was. He'd
be so confused. You see sand trap in DC. You're not in Iraq,
You're on the second hole, Like he'd be so confused. Watch it.
I just like I will. It happened. If he tried to like
full force a drive, No, like he would, he would lose a
driving competition to the have your Camps if anyone gets that reference and if you
don't, and you watch Caddy Shack, there's this scene with this incredibly elderly
couple that Danny the you know, the I guess the the hero of our
story. Here the caddy is caddying for and mister and missus have her camp
and they're a hundred and so when they swing, it's done in a comical
fact and the ball doesn't really go anywhere except to the water. And then
there's these great one liners like I'm on fire right love that part, great
part Have Acamp had run circles around Joe Biden. I think his arms might
fly off. I can't imagine what that looks like. And I'm again never
heard anything about. I want it to happen. Raise your hand if you
want that to happen. And I want Jim Nance and all of the I
want the whole Master's crew there for it. I want the top quality production.
I want the you know, the music, the Masters music that plays
like the bird sound effects in the background. Yes, it sounds like there's
actually birds there. Yeah, well that's a part of it. It's a
very dangerous anyway. So yes, I want all of these things. I
want Dottie, you know, Dottie Pepper sitting there, you know, giving
us updates from a whole. I guess it can't be anything past whole too,
if Ross's prediction holds. But like, this has to happen. Do
you think that dude's making it two holes? No, he's getting up and
walking to There's no way. No I think he could. But like carrying
your bag and swinging and playing go Look, I'm not the fittest dude,
and I have you know, I've walked. I'll use a push cart if
I walk in those in those scenarios, but I've also carried my bag and
it sucks. It's no fun hauling it around while you're out playing, especially
when we get into you know, some of the weather in North Carolina when
it gets a little hot. Give me a golf cart and a cooler full
of cold ones. And now we're talking. But you know, I'll walk
the court, especially if we have cart restrictions, right, and sometimes it's
get a push cart, and yeah, that's a better option. But haul
in your bag and and physically playing golf, no, I And and frankly,
I don't know how Donald Trump would do haul in his bag because you
know, well he's a he's a golf cart dude. But at least he's
a golfer that I know of, So, yeah, make this happen instead
of just seals clapping. Why are we not making this a thing? If
you're Donald Trump, why do you not go, yeah, let's do this.
Didn't they have a movie with like two ex presidents playing golf? Was
was it Ray Romano? Yes? Ray, it was Ray. No,
it was the X it was that in that case, it was just Ray
Romano and then it was the ex president moved there and was trying to steal
his girl. But no, there was another one with with two ex presidents
and it was James the dude from support your local gun Fighter, Sports,
your local Sheriff and and and they would like the Secret Service was cheating,
like kicking balls out, and then they it was a rivalry thing, right,
that was done for comedic purposes. This would just be like, this
would be like watching I don't know an Isis video to some extent, like
I can't even imagine how it would go down. Someone mentioned, yeah,
do that play around a golf then do a rally and then debate in the
same day. Yeah, no, no, no, no, do that.
But yeah, you call it the Michael Jordan challenge, right, because
for those who don't know one of the there's a lot of famous games,
but one of my favorites is Jordan went and played around of golf. They
had a night game played around of golf with some other players. Gambled incessantly
and won, and then one of the other guys like, all right,
well, I'm headed over to get ready for the game, and Jordan's like,
don't play another and they're drinking and and and then he goes on and
he has one of his best games ever because somebody on the other team talked
trash and that's what he needed. Right, So thirty six holes, party,
party, party, and then off to dominate in the NBA. That's
amazing. I think it was against Charles Barkley, right, yeah, Like
that's like that's the gold standard right there. You're not gonna see anything close
to that. You're gonna see I don't know what you're gonna see, but
I want it to happen. So if we could, let's uh, let's
please make that happen, all right, eight nineteen phone number eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. So when does greed coupled with activism
run a town into perhaps having to be abandoned in parts of it? We'll
let you know, uh a cautionary tale out of Thailand, and we'll do
it next on the CaCO Day radio program. Hey, you want to know
when things are getting weird? When you're the Biden campaign and you've lost Michael
Rappaport, the actor who has been one of the most vocal anti Trump moonbats
since the day he came down the escalator, and now he's conflicted. Your
political views have changed immensely. I will not vote for Joe Biden. At
this point, when we're doing this interview, voting for Trump is on the
table. People are like, what are you talking about. That's my reality.
I will not support anybody who's anti Israel. I will not support anybody
that is anti making America safe. That is cool with the facts that I
got to show my ID at least three or four times at the airport,
but it takes you two minutes to cross the border. I'm not down with
that. I'm not down with police officers and the greatest city on Earth getting
beaten up. You're a legal immigrant and then you have no bill. I'm
not flipping off the flipping off the Caminal. I'm not down with going into
a cost go or a seven eleven cleaning out the spot. So any of
these people are not to support it, I'm not voting for them. I'm
not getting caught up or suckered into these race politics or any of that bullet
anymore. Now, don't get me wrong, this guy's a disingenuous piece of
garbage. If you go back and look at his stuff, he was very
much into the racial politics. He was. He would push things like No,
No, you can't call Trump Hitler because Hitler wasn't as bad as Trump
like that. This is that dude's history. But now this, I mean
it's not it's not exactly a traditional bell Weather, but I feel like maybe
you should pay attention to that. So just something to think about. And
he's not the only one. Oh damn it, Ross Ross did you see
the Lebron James story over the weekend? The Lebron James story. Oh wait
for that, We'll get to that. Let me grab a call or two,
Marshall, what's up? I was telling Ross Man he could hit a
putter the entire eighteen holes and still beat Joe Biden at golf. I mean
maybe, But then then there's also those dudes who will go and hustle golfers
like I got a seven iron and a putter, and then they can like
they can run out and beat most golfers. So yeah, yeah, it'd
be but with this less stiff learning curve. So I'm with you. I
mean, unless he had the whole Welcome the Mooseport thing going on with the
service guys. Yeah, well ye, who knows, man, they both
got secret service guys, so maybe they both are scratch golfers at the end
though, all right, thanks for the call, appreciated, Boston, Paul.
Let's talk Biden and golf. What's going on? Hey? Yeah,
at the beginning of that, he messed it up. He said when he
was swearing Trump in, he was the one being sworn in, the dummy,
and and Ross is right. He can't make it past the second role
at that that function, that money raise of their fundraiser there in New York.
They were risen from the basement on one of those platforms. He couldn't
walk out on the stage. Uh. Well, but the only thing I'll
say is this, I don't know if he's referencing during his own swearing in
or specifically when Trump is because even though you saw the interact with the Obamas
when Trump visited the White House, Joe Biden was there as well. So
alright, maybe that's what he meant. But still, but still I ain't
happy it's not gonna happen. There's still no video of him walking off the
stage. It's been looking for her. But the video of them rising up
from a basement on him, Obama and Clinton, I mean, come on,
the guy can't even walk out on stage. Anymore. Well, I
think that using a reference to ascension so close to the Easter holiday is probably
something else for people to be mad about. So yeah, yeah, yeah,
all right, Paul, have a good one. We'll go ahead.
So you know, I guess you know, one one more thing to throw
on the fire there of people's gripes. But whatever, I just don't think
the golf thing goes well for him. But I'm willing to watch like I
will. You can get those those dockwork orange keep the eye open torture looking
devices so I don't miss a moment. I'd be okay with that. I
want to see it, all right. So I was mentioning the Lebron James
thing over the weekend. I was reading and it's the it's the whole when
your enemies or you know, when your enemies are doing something wrong, you
know, don't stop them kind of thing. And also the moonbat on move
bat violence we talk about sometimes, which I'm here for that man. So
Lebron James, who obviously is is willing to dip into the world oh politics,
obviously is he's he's a big leftist ideology promoter when he's come out,
although he does seem very capitalistic minded on his love of China. But whatever
the motivation, eventually that's not such a good thing. And we've seen iterations
of this. I can't remember the guy's name. I think he left Twitter,
former basket former NBA player podcast or all of that. Remember, So
he was he was a giant moon bat until like they started coming into his
neighborhood during the BLM stuff, and then all of a sudden he's on Twitter
like police, police, and everyone's just mocking him. Right, It's like,
bro, this is what you're all of your Twitter up to this point
has been promoting, and now they're in your neighborhood and that's rich. So
with Lebron, what you got to know is he when he went to La
he found a building site that had another big, a pretty famous house on
it, and he bought that. He bought that house, tore the house
down and built his own super custom Mega Match, which, by the way,
that's not my beef. Do whatever you're gonna do, right, you
got the money, it's your money, you want to do it. I'm
good with that. Probably a lot of people people made a lot of money
doing the work for him. I got I got no problem there. However,
the problem is the mansion next store. See the mansion next door.
The owner of it has been trying to sell it for a while. When
you're in the you know, twenty five to fifty million plus, you know,
mega mansion range, you're not necessarily flipping those things overnight. So they've
been trying to sell. It's been on the market for a while, and
nobody's been living in it. Well, some squatters. Because they got this
down to a science, they made a fake lease. This is what they
do. They make a fake lease. And if the holy grail is if
they can use the fake lease to get a driver's license or an ID card
issued with that as the address. And if you're able to do that,
it's really hard to get you to leave. It's already really hard even with
just the fake lease, but if you because now the state's recognized it as
your address. And that's what happened here, Except it's not like, you
know, a hard working family of four that's skirting the rules because they think
they deserve it and they're not. No, according to his security people and
some statements Lebron's made, the squatters basically use the house as a prostitution.
Drug fueled orgy den like every night, and the party doesn't kick off till
bar close, and so it's not one or two people in there, it's
a hundred. And they don't even know how many are actually squatting up in
there. They just know that every night is studio fifty four on steroids.
And when you have that many people blitzed out of their mind doing giant pool
orgies, which his estate looks directly on, too, gets on his nerve.
Also, they keep coming on his property and they've attempted to take things.
So Lebron is complaining that he's had to hire a much larger security presence
and now he's so mad he's screaming at the city over it. Why won't
you do anything? Look what's happening to my property? And I gotta tell
you I laughed a little, just a little chuckle when I read that,
because I'm like, bro, this is this is, this is what you
want, this is. It may not be specifically what you said you want,
but it's the logical track on this thing. So you know, Enjoy
did not shed any tears man, all right? And then this story,
this one right here, all right, how many of you raise your even
I can't see you. Let's do it unless you're driving. Get the hands
on the steering wheel. How many of you were planning vacation in this year?
We'll limit it to this year to Lotbury, Thailand, which is a
big tourist area there in Thailand, or kind of was I'll tell you why?
Probably what maybe half of you? Right? Okay, Well, bad
news. So Lotbury, Thailand is an interesting town and in the sense that
they have embraced the wildlife, and for them it's monkeys. But there's a
lot of places, like if you go over to Japan, they have islands
full of cats, which, by the way, sounds like that sounds like
worse than anything that's popped out the ocean in the Godzilla series, an whole
island of cats. No, but that's the thing, and it's it they
got any They have all a bunch of different islands with just like themed animals.
It's really weird. So Lotbury's thing was the local monkey population, and
the population became so non fearful of humans. They're just hanging around in town.
And at first I guess it's going fine because people love to come there
and take pictures, and then they have vendors that would sell you know,
little bags of fruit and other stuff so that people could feed the monkeys.
Well, you know what happens, More monkeys come and a colony of these
monkeys, a rather large one, began to take over the town. And
instead of just you know, doing monkey shenanigans and you know, doing cute
little monkey things, so they get a banana handed to them, they realized,
I'm just gonna take that. What are they gonna do? And they
started taking it, and then they started taking it aggressively, and they started
attacking people, and then they started in one instance, they took a baby.
They took a whole baby up to a building and threw the baby off.
So there's been some things and that's when townsfolk are like, we got
to do something. And initially city officials didn't want to push back because this
is a big revenue driver and they're like, all right, we're going to
figure this out. Well, they then a second monkey gang moved in.
I wish I was making this up a rival monkey gang, because they looked
at this gang and they're like, hey, look how easy they have it.
And so now you didn't just have the attacks on people and scaring away
of the tourists. But now you have a warring bloods crips or you know,
sharks jets, a gang battle that's taking place all day, every day
throughout the town. So city officials said we had to do something. Well
that's when the animal rights people came in and initially they were tranking the monkeys
and I guess moving them to a farm up state, well that like Kaibosh.
Because people got outraged. So they came up with a plan where police
were allowed sling shots to deal with the roving gangs of violent monkeys, but
they were not allowed to actually hit the monkeys. They could only use the
sling shot to strike inanimate objects near them in an attempt to scare them,
which quickly the monkeys didn't give a crap about. So now they're moving portions
of the citizens away from the most infested areas because the argument is the monkeys
were here first. Yeah, they're getting ready to abandon parts of this city.
Man. Oh and the monkeys have a leader. They literally have their
own dawn. It's just crazy. What is the monkey? The monkey?
Don here we go the troop leader, who officials say is the most aggressive
and seemingly is calling the shots for the initial gang. I Crow is,
yeah, yeah, he's in charge, man and literally will dole out punishments
to members of his own gang. And initially when they were still is using
sedative. They say that they hit him with three darts and it didn't do
it. So apparently he's got superpowers too. So there you go. Look
at that. We went soft on monkey crime little approach there, and now
your tourist attraction has turned into basically the worst parts of the Planet of the
Ape series for the humans. All right, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four, I'm sorry, the story is just so crazy.
Raced Agent's got crazy news too. He wants to make an eighty and then
freezing so what he does? Yeah, and we may especially from the Triad
west into the mountains where late week there could even be a little snow flying
around. I mean, it's not like it's all that crazy, especially southern
parts of the Apple Astians this time of year to get snow. But I
think a lot of people after mid eighties today and tomorrow maybe some record warmth
will probably be done with the mention of any chili weather, but enjoy it.
Two days of the partly sunny sky, and then it's Tomorrow night into
Wednesday cole fur will come in with some showers, maybe a thunderstorm around.
The guidance now saying severe weather stays to the west of US, but some
thunderstorms even into Wednesday and early Wednesday night before the front clears. Wednesday will
back off a little to the mid to upper seventies, and then Thursday Friday,
some of us might not get the upper fifties, some sixty are right
around sixty, but sunshine, the overnight loads will be in the thirties to
near forty with you know, I think Friday morning and especially Saturday morning and
Sunday morning could have some thirties which could be close to freezing there, maybe
some frost so mild to war maybe some record warmth are close to it.
Next couple of days the front comes through. It looks like starting late Tuesday
night into Wednesday, we'll have some showers and thunder showers around, widely scattered
though so not all day rain, and then cooler toward the end of the
week with temperatures going back down below normal. But it looks like a warm
up as we get it to Sunday and early next week. All right,
thank you, sir, appreciate it. Yeah, all right. Jeff Bellinger's
next hang on half Bellinger back from his long weekend. What's up, Jeff,
Well, good morning, case. The S and P five hundred had
its best start to a year since twenty nineteen, had gained ten percent in
the first quarter, and the futures are a little bit higher as we prepared
to start the second quarter of the year. S and P futures up seven
points. Nasdaq futures are up forty now. Futures are up just one this
hour. Investors could not react to some encouraging inflation use on Friday because it
was a market holiday. The Federal Reserves preferred gauge of underlying price pressures cooled
some on last month, while household spending rebounded. Fed chaired Your Own Powell
reiterated Friday that central bankers don't have to rush to start cutting interest rates.
Home Ownership is a stretch for Americans with subparwer incomes. In fact, a
new bank rate survey finds a six figure income is needed in order to afford
a median priced home in nearly half of the US states. This report says
it takes a ninety two thousand dollars annual income to afford a median priced home
in North Carolina. Shortage of airline pilots to be stabilizing. More than eleven
thousand candidates received certification in the past year. Airline industry executives and officials of
the Airline Pilots Association told Travel Pulse the situation is improving. New cybersecurity issue
has come to light. Casey at and T says personal data on about seventy
three million current and past customers was posted on the dark web about two weeks
ago. The information includes social security numbers. It appears to be from twenty
nineteen or earlier. AT and T is still investigating the source of the leak.
In the meantime, the company has reset the passwords for more than seven
and a half million customers and says it is communicating directly with everyone who is
affected. Casey, Yeah, I'm one of them. And it was a
pain in my butt when they did that over the weekend. All right,
Jeff, you know on Friday, how dumb I am? I three to
you before Ross could stop me, and then oh so, I hope I
did a good job. Now you were great. Okay, all right,
we'll have a good rest of your Monday, sir. Okay, you two
take care. There you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News on Good Friday.
I made that mistake. I know, I know, I know,
I know, but that's how it is, dude. I was like,
again, I'm looking at this video the protesters trying to shut down the worship
the Easter service right with their their Gaza signs, and they're just like,
oh, we're gonna disrupt it. There was I did the story earlier,
but there's one other thought I had actually over the weekend. I want to
share this. They're all proud that they're gonna go, we're gonna go,
We're gonna go stop this and disrupt these people from their worship service, and
they're you know what they're doing. You realize that yesterday's service was people gathering
based on a previous attempt to shut down their religion right by murdering the head
of it, who then went nah, I think I'm good. Three days
later, like that's what that's what people are getting. So you with your
stupid poster board or your little rollie sign. They're gathered because the one time
they killed the head of their thing and then the dude's like ah, resurrect
wow whatever. So like your the bar is really high. So the video
just brings me amusement.
