00:00:18.879 --> 00:00:49.520
Remember all right, good morning everybody. It is the Casey O Day Radio

2
00:00:49.799 --> 00:00:57.439
program. It is six o eight, it's Tuesday, so you know that's

3
00:00:57.479 --> 00:01:02.600
a thing. But you know we're
here or so, oh what are we

4
00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:11.159
gonna do? Um? Oh oh
that's fun. Thank you for that.

5
00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:18.040
Computator Apparently have to do a some
sort of weird security update as soon as

6
00:01:18.079 --> 00:01:26.000
I try to launch another program.
Love that. Oh there we go.

7
00:01:26.120 --> 00:01:33.519
Ha ha, I knew the password. Screw you anyway. Um, what

8
00:01:33.640 --> 00:01:37.760
a morning, dude. I'm telling
you, I was reading that Christopher Nolan

9
00:01:37.840 --> 00:01:41.280
story. You saw that when you
were putting in the prep packet yesterday.

10
00:01:41.799 --> 00:01:46.120
Are you the one who doesn't like
Christopher Nolan Ross? No love? Now

11
00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:49.599
you like Nolan? Who was it? No, Michael Bay? That's right.

12
00:01:49.359 --> 00:01:53.439
That's your beef, right, Michael
Bay, because it's all explosions and

13
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:56.439
screw everything else. Yeah, Michael
Bay, I seriously old, really fast.

14
00:01:56.480 --> 00:01:59.680
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah yeah. I don't know why that popped

15
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:01.120
in my Hey. Yes, I
was reading that Christopher Nolan thing, and

16
00:02:01.159 --> 00:02:08.360
I have never been so jealous in
my life. So like Hollywood director,

17
00:02:08.439 --> 00:02:15.479
obviously you know he's doing his thing. Um, I'm I'm I don't know

18
00:02:15.520 --> 00:02:21.080
if I've ever heard Christopher Nolan moonbat
out. Actually, now that I think

19
00:02:21.080 --> 00:02:27.639
about it, right, I'm sure
he has, because you gotta and and

20
00:02:27.840 --> 00:02:34.280
honestly to like some small extent.
I don't even fault most of the Hollywood

21
00:02:34.319 --> 00:02:39.439
people because it's like you're just mostly
you just want to shut up the other

22
00:02:39.520 --> 00:02:46.960
moonbats at the bay. But some
are really like, um, who's the

23
00:02:46.960 --> 00:02:51.039
actor who plays the Hulk? Ruffalo? Mark Ruffalo. I blocked him like

24
00:02:51.080 --> 00:02:54.120
two months ago. I was so
tired of hearing from him, I had

25
00:02:54.120 --> 00:02:59.439
to block him. But yesterday he
was. There was two things, um,

26
00:03:00.039 --> 00:03:07.000
the second of which was him like
when one day the three names of

27
00:03:07.080 --> 00:03:09.840
the people will most hate and then
he named the CEOs of like the three

28
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:15.879
big whale companies, and you know
how they'll you know, go down in

29
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:22.000
history is essentially and then you know, insert whatever the worst people from history

30
00:03:22.039 --> 00:03:27.960
are. But like everybody was,
and I think this was part of it.

31
00:03:28.080 --> 00:03:30.759
Everybody was bugging on him because he
put on his poor people clothes to

32
00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:38.000
go to the picket line. He
had like he had like busted old T

33
00:03:38.240 --> 00:03:43.159
shirt and jeans and like choose,
but they had like paint on him or

34
00:03:43.479 --> 00:03:46.280
No, he's the absolute worst.
And they're all hypocrites because get off your

35
00:03:46.280 --> 00:03:51.039
phone and trade in your mansion,
give everything up if you're a whole about

36
00:03:51.080 --> 00:03:53.319
the earth and stuff. But they're
all they're him and Ron Perlman. I

37
00:03:53.400 --> 00:03:59.719
blocked him both. Yeah, it's
just a tragedy because mostly if I see

38
00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:03.439
Mark Ruffalo on screen, or even
Ron Perlman for that matter, I'm probably

39
00:04:03.639 --> 00:04:06.680
into whatever movie. Yeah, I
mean that's the thing. Hell Boy is

40
00:04:06.759 --> 00:04:14.240
awesome. Ron Perlman also the voice
and Fallout great. Really I didn't even

41
00:04:14.280 --> 00:04:16.439
realize, like the narrator. Yeah, Mark Mark Ruffalo as the whole in

42
00:04:16.560 --> 00:04:21.240
Marvel the Marvel movies, love them, but I mean movie did that Lawyer

43
00:04:21.279 --> 00:04:25.040
movie a couple of years ago I
thought was pretty interesting, which is still

44
00:04:25.040 --> 00:04:28.560
a little bit of an activist movie. But whatever. Um, But like

45
00:04:28.759 --> 00:04:31.639
everybody was on his butt because he's
like, let me put my poor people

46
00:04:31.720 --> 00:04:39.519
clothes on. They're loving this stuff. Yeah, we're loving the fact that

47
00:04:39.560 --> 00:04:42.639
they get to protest because that's what
they always want, right, they want

48
00:04:42.680 --> 00:04:46.600
something to protest against. They want
to be like very important and in this

49
00:04:46.720 --> 00:04:51.319
spotlight obviously down with the struggles.
Yeah. Yeah, the irony of course

50
00:04:51.519 --> 00:04:57.639
is um and I know this as
somebody who and and you know people on

51
00:04:57.879 --> 00:05:00.439
people on the show, they're like, oh, what do you hate unions?

52
00:05:00.480 --> 00:05:03.199
No? No, no, no
no, My my bigger beef is

53
00:05:02.680 --> 00:05:09.000
uh is public sector unions, right, government stuff, And like even some

54
00:05:09.040 --> 00:05:13.040
of the biggest moon bats in history
realized actually gonna be a little bit of

55
00:05:13.120 --> 00:05:18.439
a problem. So when I was
after high school, when I was in

56
00:05:18.920 --> 00:05:27.439
college, I it was a casual
for the Iatzi Union three three six out

57
00:05:27.439 --> 00:05:31.959
of Santa Barbara and that was that's
a stage hand union, and it was

58
00:05:31.959 --> 00:05:35.879
a pretty kind of it was a
sweet gig for a college kid because you're

59
00:05:35.920 --> 00:05:41.839
doing you're you're working like a dog, don't get me wrong, and you're

60
00:05:41.879 --> 00:05:46.120
doing like tours and concerts, but
as from a local perspective. So I

61
00:05:46.160 --> 00:05:53.720
worked when they did shows at Arlington
Theater and Santa Barbara Bowl and a couple

62
00:05:53.759 --> 00:05:57.560
other venue and basically anywhere they had
a union gig. And you'd show up

63
00:05:57.560 --> 00:06:03.560
at like eight am. You work
all damned unloading these trucks from Rabanda because

64
00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:09.279
and then you know insert whatever the
tour band is. And so like you

65
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.439
work like a dog, you go
through all the show and then you would

66
00:06:13.480 --> 00:06:16.279
work almost this twenty four hour period, but you'd make so much damn money

67
00:06:17.079 --> 00:06:20.839
and you'd get to be backstage and
meet all these acts, and it was

68
00:06:21.000 --> 00:06:29.319
it was a really good gig.
But there's a huge swath of people who

69
00:06:29.399 --> 00:06:35.839
work for IOTSI in some capacity,
that work on movie sets and TV productions,

70
00:06:36.560 --> 00:06:44.399
and so Mark Ruffalo getting to show
up in his poor people clothes and

71
00:06:44.560 --> 00:06:47.519
hang out with the riders and everybody's
got a beef. They look like they're

72
00:06:47.560 --> 00:06:56.480
doing something. The reality is because
they're so dug in and the studios are

73
00:06:56.519 --> 00:07:03.160
so dug in. Those people who
you know, get these sometimes get these

74
00:07:03.199 --> 00:07:08.519
titles, is like Best Boy and
Grips and any of the rest that are

75
00:07:08.560 --> 00:07:15.920
AATSI people, they're all screwed.
So they're the ones that during the entirety

76
00:07:15.959 --> 00:07:21.519
of the shutdown are really going to
suffer because Mark Ruffalo's like, hell no,

77
00:07:21.839 --> 00:07:28.959
we won't go, and he loves
the photo up, so to Ross's

78
00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:38.040
point, stroking his ego is going
to starve those individuals. Now, you

79
00:07:38.160 --> 00:07:43.800
also understand what industry you're in and
who you're working with, so to some

80
00:07:43.920 --> 00:07:49.000
extent it shouldn't be unexpected. But
I did giggle and then all of a

81
00:07:49.040 --> 00:07:54.360
sudden, he's like he was calling
for the heads of oil people yesterday.

82
00:07:55.079 --> 00:08:00.079
Just the weirdest thing. Man,
it's so dumb. All right, you

83
00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:03.560
know, produce one of your movies
without fossil fuels, go, it's impossible.

84
00:08:05.959 --> 00:08:09.839
Well, what you don't understand is
the message, man. So the

85
00:08:09.959 --> 00:08:13.920
message it overwhelms what they're doing.
And they're making the investment. And yes,

86
00:08:13.959 --> 00:08:18.720
they're using the fossil fuels, but
because in their show and in their

87
00:08:18.800 --> 00:08:24.199
movie, like what did what did
I watch? Like a some snippet of

88
00:08:24.319 --> 00:08:31.079
yesterday? I watched some like travel
show right where they were? Where were

89
00:08:31.160 --> 00:08:35.039
they? I think they were in
like they were in like Lima, Peru

90
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.039
or something. It was like street
Foods or something. You know, it

91
00:08:39.120 --> 00:08:45.320
was on Food Network or something,
flipping through there and those are the kind

92
00:08:45.360 --> 00:08:48.159
of things I can put on in
the background while I'm doing prep and be

93
00:08:48.399 --> 00:08:52.679
quite fine and so. And it
was really high production quality. And they're

94
00:08:52.720 --> 00:08:56.759
like, so they're down in Lima, and there are they in Lima?

95
00:08:56.840 --> 00:09:03.879
There in Bolivia? The point is
there, you know, they're somewhere down

96
00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.240
in like deep South America and they're
showing, um, they're showing these uh

97
00:09:09.279 --> 00:09:13.559
the street foods or something, and
it's on in the background and I happen

98
00:09:13.600 --> 00:09:18.519
to be listening to it while I'm
looking up different stories for prep, and

99
00:09:20.240 --> 00:09:26.080
they get into this whole conversation about
how the sun's hotter than it ever was.

100
00:09:26.200 --> 00:09:31.639
It was Bolivia because they were talking
about the elevation and much of Olivia's

101
00:09:31.759 --> 00:09:35.399
way, like Lapause and and all
of that stuff is way up there,

102
00:09:35.039 --> 00:09:39.159
and they're like, ah, the
sun used to be warm and now it's

103
00:09:39.200 --> 00:09:45.000
scolding and and uh, you know
Maria Concerto or whatever her name was,

104
00:09:46.000 --> 00:09:52.240
and her her her stand where she
sells casidias or whatever it was. So

105
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:54.559
they got into this whole litany,
and I'm like, the production quality is

106
00:09:54.600 --> 00:10:01.480
fabulous, to the point where I
realize that you probably needed to crew that

107
00:10:01.639 --> 00:10:07.159
required a crap ton of carbon to
accomplish your mission here. Meanwhile, on

108
00:10:07.320 --> 00:10:13.639
YouTube, there's lots of people like
Bold was it Bold and Broke and some

109
00:10:13.720 --> 00:10:18.200
others who they tour around and they
do this stuff and they you know,

110
00:10:18.240 --> 00:10:24.240
they make these films where they're interacting
with locals and they're talking about cultural stuff

111
00:10:24.279 --> 00:10:28.799
and it's late him and another dude. Meanwhile, you put this high production

112
00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:33.919
quality thing that's on. It was
on Netflix, but I think it originated

113
00:10:35.000 --> 00:10:39.960
from Food Network or something. You
put this whole thing together, and I

114
00:10:39.080 --> 00:10:45.000
guarantee your crew is like five people, more cameras than you've ever seen,

115
00:10:45.639 --> 00:10:50.480
plus local production people, plus all
of this so that you could show me

116
00:10:50.639 --> 00:10:58.679
about this beef heart delicacy they make
in Bolivia. So to Mark Ruffalo and

117
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:03.559
his painter clothes, I just have
to laugh. And then all of a

118
00:11:03.639 --> 00:11:05.679
sudden he's like, oh, I'm
not having a good day. Pr Wise,

119
00:11:07.279 --> 00:11:09.919
let me call for the heads of
oil executives. It was just the

120
00:11:11.000 --> 00:11:18.679
dumbest thing, man, But hey, that's the current activist culture. Get

121
00:11:18.759 --> 00:11:22.720
yourself a little hashtag, feel better
about yourself. It's gonna be amazing,

122
00:11:24.480 --> 00:11:28.919
all right, eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four Coming up.

123
00:11:28.960 --> 00:11:31.840
Well, i'll tell you what.
It's six eighteen. We'll hit a

124
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.919
break come back. I'll give you
a rundown of where we're going. It's

125
00:11:33.919 --> 00:11:37.519
gonna be a it's gonna be a
weird Tuesday, but hey, that's why

126
00:11:37.600 --> 00:11:48.440
you tune in. We'll do it
next. Hang on. This is one

127
00:11:48.440 --> 00:11:52.919
oh six one FM Talk in the
Triangle and here's talk w PTI in the

128
00:11:54.000 --> 00:12:07.840
tryad. All right you, good
morning six twenty three. Welcome back Caseo

129
00:12:07.960 --> 00:12:18.559
dame radio program. Dude do do
do do? All right, petators fun

130
00:12:18.639 --> 00:12:22.960
this morning? Got that handled?
Uh, A few things to go ahead

131
00:12:22.960 --> 00:12:28.559
and wet the whistle on this morning. That's some fun audio too. H

132
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:33.480
It's only Tuesday. I will say
though, at least this week doesn't feel

133
00:12:33.720 --> 00:12:41.799
to um thus far that it is
dragging at the same level last week was.

134
00:12:41.360 --> 00:12:48.799
I'm sure that will set in as
the as the week unfolds, just

135
00:12:48.960 --> 00:12:54.039
due to the sheer weirdness of like
all of my Microsoft update stuff. So

136
00:12:54.200 --> 00:13:03.480
all right, um, the battle
continues on the raising awareness for child sex

137
00:13:03.559 --> 00:13:09.480
trafficking. Yeah, no, it's
a weird way to say it. The

138
00:13:09.519 --> 00:13:15.399
Sacramento b which is obviously one of
the big papers of record out there in

139
00:13:15.600 --> 00:13:24.120
the Bay Area death threats and pedophilia
accusations, how child trafficking took over California's

140
00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:28.039
capital. If you don't know what's
going on, There was a bill that

141
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:33.679
was working its way through that basically
would have added teeth to the crime of

142
00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:45.840
child trafficking, making it a serious
felony because it wasn't prior to that Okay,

143
00:13:46.159 --> 00:13:50.639
all right, who's voted against that
in a land or they loved laws?

144
00:13:50.240 --> 00:13:56.840
Well, the majority, the majority
Democrats out there voted it down.

145
00:13:56.360 --> 00:14:01.799
Except the problem was they didn't calculate
the public reaction to it real well,

146
00:14:03.399 --> 00:14:11.879
and it was so people were so
upset that you literally had Democratic Assembly members

147
00:14:11.960 --> 00:14:22.559
in California in close districts coming out
and like apologizing on Twitter because they didn't

148
00:14:22.559 --> 00:14:31.480
get the read write and should have
voted for it. So that irritated some

149
00:14:31.559 --> 00:14:33.600
of the hardcorees there because they don't
they don't like to be second guests.

150
00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:37.360
They want to do whatever they're going
to do. And they've decided because this

151
00:14:37.440 --> 00:14:43.120
issue is attached to a movie where
the talking points are it is, you

152
00:14:43.159 --> 00:14:48.559
know, it's all a Q conspiracy. They didn't like that, so they

153
00:14:48.600 --> 00:14:52.600
get their friends in the media to
write these articles. California Democrats spent the

154
00:14:52.679 --> 00:14:58.240
final few days before summer recess in
an unusual spot, embroiled in a legislative

155
00:14:58.240 --> 00:15:05.120
fight with publicans, who typically operate
in the shadow of the state's blue supermajority.

156
00:15:05.639 --> 00:15:11.120
The cause a bill to strengthen penalties
for child sex traffickers. The lawmakers

157
00:15:11.200 --> 00:15:16.519
killed ahead of a looming legislative session. All right, so the author is

158
00:15:16.639 --> 00:15:22.360
very upset here. So how did
a party with almost no power in California

159
00:15:22.519 --> 00:15:28.720
manage to achieve a political win?
In part by employing simplistic, fear based

160
00:15:28.840 --> 00:15:35.159
messaging that exploited the divide between progressive
and moderate Democrats on criminal justice reform.

161
00:15:37.200 --> 00:15:41.799
Their argument in favor of the bill
carried a whiff of the far right GOP

162
00:15:41.039 --> 00:15:48.399
conspiracy related to Democrats and pedophilia.
So again, you could sit there and

163
00:15:48.480 --> 00:15:52.759
identify that you have nothing to do
with this, and you also think that

164
00:15:52.840 --> 00:16:06.960
people who literally traffic in the sexual
trade of children should receive significant criminal penalty,

165
00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:11.679
But instead you don't like it because
you think the people who are concerned

166
00:16:11.679 --> 00:16:17.200
about this are motivated by conspiracy.
And it gets crazier from there. If

167
00:16:17.240 --> 00:16:22.320
they didn't like the apologies, it's
all, it's all que it's all people

168
00:16:22.320 --> 00:16:27.320
who don't know what's going on,
and they're going to use their own government

169
00:16:27.399 --> 00:16:32.639
numbers to prove it. So I'll
get you more on that at student loan,

170
00:16:32.720 --> 00:16:37.039
insanity, craziness, and Oxford,
you name it all coming up?

171
00:16:37.600 --> 00:16:41.840
Are you the show? After the
show is on the iHeartRadio app searchs case

172
00:16:42.000 --> 00:16:55.639
o day for the podcast on the
iHeartRadio app all right, six thirty five,

173
00:16:55.799 --> 00:17:02.799
Good Morning you Could? Is the
case a radio program. So there's

174
00:17:02.799 --> 00:17:06.960
a pretty crazy story up in New
York. I actually had in the stack

175
00:17:07.000 --> 00:17:08.480
for earlier this week. I didn't
get into it just, you know,

176
00:17:08.519 --> 00:17:15.359
because it's New York whatever, it
didn't have the priority that certain other stories

177
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:22.039
had. But then I saw this
interview they did with one of the dudes

178
00:17:22.079 --> 00:17:26.319
in the story, and I'm like, oh my gosh, so we're gonna

179
00:17:26.319 --> 00:17:30.000
get into it. Basically, the
state of New York is getting ready to

180
00:17:30.119 --> 00:17:37.960
pay a huge amount of money too. Would be teachers, folks who just

181
00:17:38.759 --> 00:17:48.000
who wanted to educate the next generation
but couldn't pass what was the standardized test

182
00:17:48.599 --> 00:17:55.799
for teachers in the state of New
York, and in some cases, many,

183
00:17:55.839 --> 00:17:59.799
many, many, many times took
the tests. They didn't get it.

184
00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:03.000
But when he looked at the failure
rate for the test and he broke

185
00:18:03.039 --> 00:18:10.160
it down from a racial standpoint,
you had a much higher percentage of black

186
00:18:10.359 --> 00:18:15.640
and Hispanic would be teachers failing this. So what did they decide that only

187
00:18:15.759 --> 00:18:25.960
decided the test was racist? Yep, it was a big racist conspiracy and

188
00:18:26.119 --> 00:18:32.599
ironically when he looked at other tests
that were very similar to the New York

189
00:18:32.640 --> 00:18:37.359
one, because there is a national
standard and then there's some state by state

190
00:18:37.440 --> 00:18:42.519
stuff, there wasn't a lot of
difference. And also there wasn't a lot

191
00:18:42.559 --> 00:18:49.160
of difference in the sense that there
was a failure rate that wasn't on you

192
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:53.559
know, if you break it down
per one hundred thousand, right, so

193
00:18:53.640 --> 00:19:00.119
you negate the percentage the total percentage
of people taking it, and just break

194
00:19:00.160 --> 00:19:07.400
it down for every hundred white persons
or black persons or brown persons or whatever

195
00:19:07.759 --> 00:19:14.839
who take the test. There was
a difference in the failure rate of other

196
00:19:15.119 --> 00:19:19.200
standardized tests, including the one that
New York pivoted to. I'm pointing this

197
00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:32.720
out because it would seem that maybe
it's not the test for whatever reason.

198
00:19:33.039 --> 00:19:37.240
And look, I don't know the
reason, but simply saying it's the test

199
00:19:38.200 --> 00:19:47.680
is is lazy, would, I
guess would be the way to put it.

200
00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:52.680
And it's interesting because there's other discussions
you can have, like maybe,

201
00:19:55.160 --> 00:19:57.200
you know, maybe one of the
problems you saw with people who took it

202
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:04.039
who identified as Hispanic was a second
language issue, right, And if you

203
00:20:04.119 --> 00:20:11.039
did, now I'm not necessarily saying
that that shouldn't just because that is an

204
00:20:11.079 --> 00:20:19.400
issue. It doesn't negate whether somebody
should be teaching kids. But at least

205
00:20:19.599 --> 00:20:26.839
it's an understandable discussion. Although you
know, there's some classrooms in America where,

206
00:20:26.079 --> 00:20:33.440
even though it's not Spanish, a
Spanish class just due to the population.

207
00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.039
You see this down in Texas,
just due to the population of the

208
00:20:36.079 --> 00:20:41.880
student body where there is a lot
of Spanish spoken in the classroom. Whether

209
00:20:42.000 --> 00:20:48.359
that has problematic effects for students who
don't speak Spanish is a legitimate discussion,

210
00:20:48.440 --> 00:20:52.240
But that's not where they're talking about
here. They just decided that based on

211
00:20:52.279 --> 00:20:57.079
the past fail rate. Obviously,
what you're dealing with, you're dealing with

212
00:20:57.119 --> 00:21:03.400
some discrimination. And one of the
people who was set as part of this

213
00:21:04.359 --> 00:21:12.559
one point eight billion dollars payday for
roughly fifty two hundred black and Hispanic X

214
00:21:12.759 --> 00:21:22.000
New York City teachers or once aspiring
educators, this decided because there was this

215
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:29.119
differential in the past fail rate that
obviously racism was at play. And this

216
00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:33.799
is Look, this has always been
my biggest problem with public education, and

217
00:21:34.039 --> 00:21:38.519
even going back to the days before
I did my own talk show, I

218
00:21:38.599 --> 00:21:45.119
worked more on the news side and
would have to go and cover. In

219
00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:48.960
Minnesota, I would have to go
and cover public education, including the school

220
00:21:48.000 --> 00:21:52.559
board meetings, And I found it
insane when you really dive into this,

221
00:21:53.480 --> 00:22:00.839
the constant pushback on any sort of
standardized, lips test for how things are

222
00:22:00.880 --> 00:22:07.799
going. And I understand the complexity
of it. Simply deciding that a teacher

223
00:22:07.519 --> 00:22:12.519
in their classroom should be solely graded
on whether every student in there gets an

224
00:22:12.519 --> 00:22:21.119
A or a B or a C
doesn't recognize the differences in various district the

225
00:22:21.160 --> 00:22:26.759
teachers deal with, right, and
so maybe the better way to gauge this

226
00:22:26.920 --> 00:22:32.079
stuff is improvement, Right, you're
over your improvement or something. And it

227
00:22:32.400 --> 00:22:40.599
seemed like at every turn when somebody
would propose a standard to gauge the effectiveness

228
00:22:40.640 --> 00:22:45.599
of a teacher, it was there
was a huge pushback, generally on the

229
00:22:45.640 --> 00:22:52.039
part of teacher union organizations, but
really people within the district. And I

230
00:22:52.079 --> 00:22:56.960
found it very frustrating because I can't
think of any other job where there's not

231
00:22:57.119 --> 00:23:03.160
some standard for how things are going. But in this case, the standard

232
00:23:03.240 --> 00:23:08.119
is simply do you have the requisite
knowledge and skills to teach kids? You

233
00:23:08.359 --> 00:23:11.720
have to have a standard there.
Well, one of the people who took

234
00:23:11.759 --> 00:23:19.680
the task quote a bunch but never
could pass. It is a a guy

235
00:23:19.759 --> 00:23:25.559
who's set to get about two million
dollars, which is just crazy. Herman

236
00:23:25.759 --> 00:23:30.960
grime was a word of the largest
of the judgments, two million and fifty

237
00:23:32.000 --> 00:23:38.640
five thousand dollars after he was unable
to pass the test. This based on

238
00:23:38.799 --> 00:23:48.279
lost compensation and interest. I guess
how the court figured it out. Excuse

239
00:23:48.359 --> 00:23:55.440
me. So they interview this dude, and this is him, to the

240
00:23:55.480 --> 00:24:00.680
best of mine. I've listened to
this like four times. This is him

241
00:24:00.680 --> 00:24:04.920
reacting to hearing that he's going to
get this payday. There's two million dollars

242
00:24:04.960 --> 00:24:10.279
payday because he never was in the
classroom because he couldn't pass the test.

243
00:24:12.240 --> 00:24:18.119
And I just want you to evaluate
if you think this individual would be good

244
00:24:18.160 --> 00:24:26.000
at communicating learning elements to your kids. Okay, Ross, you had never

245
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:33.960
heard this before. He dubbed it
incorrect. Do you feel that you were

246
00:24:33.960 --> 00:24:38.960
able to understand a damn word this
man was saying. It was a struggle.

247
00:24:41.480 --> 00:24:45.720
I wasn't even sure at first if
he was speaking English. It's so

248
00:24:45.759 --> 00:24:48.559
bad. I thought it was because
I saw it on Twitter. I thought

249
00:24:48.680 --> 00:24:53.440
somebody had I thought somebody was having
fun and they grabbed another interview because you

250
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:57.240
don't. He couldn't. He can't
even tell what's what he's answering. They

251
00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:06.000
had grabbed something else to be comical
on Twitter. But this guy is going

252
00:25:06.000 --> 00:25:11.599
to get two million dollars because he
can never pass the test and obviously there

253
00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:18.359
was discrimination a foot he is.
He's black, Um, so you know

254
00:25:18.440 --> 00:25:22.240
he is. That's the the box
that he's ticking in this judgment. But

255
00:25:22.359 --> 00:25:27.680
this is him literally talking to the
reporter. I have no idea what's going

256
00:25:27.759 --> 00:25:33.279
on. And they knew it wasn't
taking serious because, um, I just

257
00:25:33.400 --> 00:25:38.480
wasn't you know, by the way, that's not an audio mishap, that's

258
00:25:38.559 --> 00:25:45.440
him being interviewed in his living room
and it's his smoke detector which needs a

259
00:25:45.480 --> 00:25:51.880
battery, a sap. And they
knew it wasn't taking serious because um,

260
00:25:51.920 --> 00:25:55.920
I just wasn't. You know what
you're seeing about is in Timmy bow um.

261
00:25:56.119 --> 00:26:00.359
Also because I know Wilson, either
they go through, they won't go

262
00:26:00.359 --> 00:26:04.359
through, you know from reading hearing
news and know what that stuffed. And

263
00:26:06.000 --> 00:26:10.759
I know a couple of people that
had um were not in education, but

264
00:26:10.759 --> 00:26:15.240
they've been through lawsuits and they didn't
um went or anything like that. So

265
00:26:15.680 --> 00:26:21.680
to me, just like fabric,
you know either you know, but it's

266
00:26:22.200 --> 00:26:26.200
been getting my head. They kept
pushing and kept explaining things piece by piece

267
00:26:26.640 --> 00:26:30.119
your phone. I started get in
my head and just listened to him and

268
00:26:30.559 --> 00:26:33.559
they went from there. But still
today I don't really believe it. But

269
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:40.000
you know, and you sayson from
for a long time trying to convince me

270
00:26:40.039 --> 00:26:44.839
that it's real. It's new game's
non um, you know finals also to

271
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.640
all that stuff, but this is
not I'm a normal person. Um,

272
00:26:48.720 --> 00:26:52.079
I had to struggle for money.
What's the ocean doing? Noah, there's

273
00:26:52.079 --> 00:26:59.279
a smoke detector. What. I
cannot imagine why they didn't want this guy

274
00:26:59.359 --> 00:27:03.319
in a class room trying to explain
something to kids they need to know.

275
00:27:03.759 --> 00:27:06.200
He just talked for a minute four
seconds. I have no idea what he

276
00:27:06.240 --> 00:27:10.079
was talking about or what he was
saying anything, right, You would rather

277
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:12.880
have an easier time understanding Joe Biden
at like four in the afternoon. Oh

278
00:27:12.960 --> 00:27:18.759
no, does it? Isn't it
so bad that you think it's a punk

279
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:22.799
like somebody's like somebody's inserted a video. That's what I thought when I Initially

280
00:27:22.920 --> 00:27:26.599
I scrolled past it because I saw
it. I'm like, Ah, somebody's

281
00:27:26.599 --> 00:27:30.160
thinks they're funny because you can't even
tell if he's on topic until you really

282
00:27:30.240 --> 00:27:34.279
listen, Like at one point you
can make out the word lawsuit and somebody

283
00:27:34.359 --> 00:27:41.160
telling them and it's crazy, and
Fixer smoked it too, I don't even

284
00:27:41.200 --> 00:27:45.920
know. And also why at no
point does any because the reporters shown up.

285
00:27:45.480 --> 00:27:49.440
Obviously they've got him in a you
know, with the lights and they

286
00:27:49.519 --> 00:27:55.200
positioned for the camera, so and
there's sound people. I'm assuming at the

287
00:27:55.279 --> 00:28:00.519
very least, there's one probably two
other people from the reporter and as you

288
00:28:00.559 --> 00:28:03.960
and I both know, who have
you know, we record audio from time

289
00:28:04.000 --> 00:28:10.839
to time with like clients or whatever. You're telling me. It's not a

290
00:28:10.920 --> 00:28:12.920
live thing you're telling me. At
no point does anybody go, can you

291
00:28:14.039 --> 00:28:17.720
put a battery in the smoke detector? Because we're picking it up on the

292
00:28:17.759 --> 00:28:22.359
mic, and yet in one minute, in four seconds, because I guess

293
00:28:22.359 --> 00:28:30.839
it beeps every thirty seconds, you
hear that damn smoke detector and everyone knows

294
00:28:30.960 --> 00:28:33.119
that they can't figure out what the
hell this dude saying. And they're sitting

295
00:28:33.160 --> 00:28:37.519
in the room with him listen to
the reporter and they know it was taking

296
00:28:37.599 --> 00:28:42.400
serious because um, I just wasn't
you know what you're seeing that is in

297
00:28:42.440 --> 00:28:49.279
timmy bow? Um also because I
know we'll also either go through they won't

298
00:28:49.279 --> 00:28:55.640
go through from beating hearing news no
that stuff. And I know a couple

299
00:28:55.640 --> 00:29:00.240
of people that had, um,
not an education, but they've into and

300
00:29:00.279 --> 00:29:07.400
they didn't so to me just like
it comes the beep, you know,

301
00:29:07.480 --> 00:29:11.759
you chirp, you know, but
there's I mean, I finally get him

302
00:29:11.839 --> 00:29:18.039
hit, how is he going to
explain? And then you know, insert

303
00:29:18.079 --> 00:29:21.519
whatever it is. I didn't even
look to see what his u his specialty

304
00:29:21.720 --> 00:29:27.240
is and like I'm not even hacking
on the dude necessarily for that. There's

305
00:29:27.319 --> 00:29:33.359
people who are not good communicators,
but it's kind of something you have to

306
00:29:33.400 --> 00:29:38.000
have in that particular profession. And
also it doesn't necessarily translate to testing.

307
00:29:38.720 --> 00:29:45.039
Some people are quite good at testing
but not good at you know, real

308
00:29:45.160 --> 00:29:55.640
world interactions. But if that is
any indicator of it, I don't know

309
00:29:55.720 --> 00:29:59.720
that that's the best person for that
job, or at the very least that's

310
00:29:59.720 --> 00:30:03.559
something he's got to work on,
because I don't know how you'd sit there

311
00:30:03.559 --> 00:30:07.960
as a kid in that class and
follow anything that man is explaining to you.

312
00:30:08.839 --> 00:30:12.160
But they did the interview, nobody
said anything about the smoke detector,

313
00:30:12.200 --> 00:30:15.759
and then it was so bad I
just assumed it was somebody having fun on

314
00:30:15.759 --> 00:30:22.519
Twitter attaching a video that didn't have
anything to do with it. But then

315
00:30:22.519 --> 00:30:26.079
I tracked it back to the actual
interview from New York Post. Here,

316
00:30:26.720 --> 00:30:30.640
dude's gonna get two million dollars because
he can never pass the test to be

317
00:30:30.680 --> 00:30:37.240
a teacher. Absolute insanity, explained
to me. And my school choice is

318
00:30:37.319 --> 00:30:45.720
bad again. Eight hang on smart
Talk all day, PTI in the Triad

319
00:30:45.920 --> 00:30:56.480
and one six one FM talked in
the triangles. You know, I ran

320
00:30:56.559 --> 00:31:00.319
into a situation back in the day
when we used to have a large amount

321
00:31:00.359 --> 00:31:07.599
of interns and a bullpen, so
to speak. In the world of radio,

322
00:31:07.720 --> 00:31:11.359
which just like a lot of places, that's just not how things especially

323
00:31:11.400 --> 00:31:17.480
after COVID, it's just not how
things are. But we used to get

324
00:31:17.920 --> 00:31:26.039
There was a radio school in Minnesota
called Brown and it was it was one

325
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:30.839
of the bigger radios in Minneapolis.
It was one of the bigger radio schools

326
00:31:30.839 --> 00:31:38.000
out there, and we would have
I don't know, probably five or six

327
00:31:38.119 --> 00:31:45.359
kids a year that went to Brown
that would then intern through us and maybe

328
00:31:45.359 --> 00:31:53.039
one of them would end up with
the position. And we had we had

329
00:31:53.160 --> 00:31:57.279
one Brown student. I remember because
I a part of my duties for a

330
00:31:57.319 --> 00:32:06.079
while, we're eventually managing their passage
through our through our cluster up there.

331
00:32:06.759 --> 00:32:14.559
There was one of them who was
his poor a communicator verbally as the guy

332
00:32:14.599 --> 00:32:17.960
who was in that interview where I
still do I have no idea what he's

333
00:32:19.000 --> 00:32:23.400
talking about, but I know he
gets two million dollars, And it was

334
00:32:23.440 --> 00:32:29.480
this delicate thing where he was a
nice kid. He was a hard worker

335
00:32:29.559 --> 00:32:37.920
too, but he just didn't have
any communication skills. And so I was

336
00:32:38.200 --> 00:32:42.880
like, I had this conversation with
our program director at the time, Steve.

337
00:32:43.000 --> 00:32:51.799
I'm like, what, I feel
like I'm doing a disservice in fostering

338
00:32:51.799 --> 00:32:55.920
an idea with him that he's going
to be an on air guy. Do

339
00:32:55.920 --> 00:32:59.799
you know what I'm saying? Ross
you ever, you ever, you ever

340
00:33:00.079 --> 00:33:04.720
dealt with an intern or somebody,
We're just like, maybe something behind the

341
00:33:04.799 --> 00:33:08.480
scenes is a better radio fit for
them. But I like, I don't

342
00:33:08.480 --> 00:33:14.920
want to be the judger of one's
future. But like I would have him

343
00:33:14.960 --> 00:33:19.319
do ads since I couldn't understand anything
he was saying, and so I like,

344
00:33:19.519 --> 00:33:24.640
I was, I was in my
mind, I'm like, maybe I

345
00:33:24.680 --> 00:33:30.440
should show him like some of the
behind the scenes editing stuff more. But

346
00:33:30.480 --> 00:33:32.759
I didn't want to like differentiate his
experience. We weren't gonna hire him,

347
00:33:34.400 --> 00:33:37.079
but he was in turning through there
and again he wanted the job. He

348
00:33:37.160 --> 00:33:40.799
just didn't have any of the skill
set. And it's like delicately trying to

349
00:33:40.839 --> 00:33:46.960
get him to to expand upon it. But I don't want to be negative

350
00:33:47.039 --> 00:33:50.680
in the sense like did you ever
do you ever work with somebody you knew

351
00:33:50.680 --> 00:33:54.200
who was doomed on that particular front? I mean, but that's kind of

352
00:33:54.200 --> 00:33:58.039
what I knew personally. No,
but I've known people in the building another

353
00:33:58.079 --> 00:34:01.279
shows yes yeah, well yes,
yeah yeah, or just you've you've come

354
00:34:01.319 --> 00:34:07.200
across somebody really the what's that?
Now? What are you doing? And

355
00:34:07.359 --> 00:34:09.159
this guy is a teacher, Like
I don't know that it's his bag.

356
00:34:09.480 --> 00:34:13.639
Maybe he's a perfectly fine dude any
of the rest of it, but holy

357
00:34:13.719 --> 00:34:16.760
crap, All right, well we'll
get some calls on that. Also,

358
00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:24.239
they put a list out of the
most miserable cities in America. They did

359
00:34:24.280 --> 00:34:29.360
a state by state breakdown, and
then we just got a you know,

360
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:34.079
like unemployment rate, poverty rate,
crime, you know, all the stuff,

361
00:34:34.639 --> 00:34:37.400
all the negative stuff that's out there, and um, we'll see what

362
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:40.599
you think of the most miserable city
in North Carolina and whether it's true,

363
00:34:40.719 --> 00:35:07.599
but also the happiest cities. We
got one of the happiest. All right,

364
00:35:07.639 --> 00:35:10.679
good morning everybody. It is seven
h seven here on the KCO Gay

365
00:35:12.840 --> 00:35:22.639
Radio program. So under a settlement
that actually the settlement was initially, at

366
00:35:22.719 --> 00:35:27.920
least the basis of it was initially
ironed out during the waning days to build

367
00:35:27.960 --> 00:35:32.719
the Blasio's final weeks in office.
However, it was signed off on by

368
00:35:32.719 --> 00:35:37.880
the current New York mayor. The
City of New York will set aside and

369
00:35:37.920 --> 00:35:44.119
pay one point eight billion dollars to
a series of folks who wanted to be

370
00:35:44.239 --> 00:35:51.760
teachers but could never pass the teachers
exam. And they decided that the reason

371
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:54.760
was because the tests was racist,
and the City of New York, in

372
00:35:54.880 --> 00:36:00.639
accepting the settlement, basically agreed with
that. And then they go they interview

373
00:36:00.760 --> 00:36:06.719
this dude who is who took the
tests? Like, where did I see

374
00:36:06.719 --> 00:36:08.320
the number he took the tests,
like because he can take it every six

375
00:36:08.400 --> 00:36:16.760
months or something he did for years, could never pass Herman Grime, who's

376
00:36:16.760 --> 00:36:22.760
set to receive the largest settlement,
roughly just a little over two million dollars.

377
00:36:22.719 --> 00:36:25.800
And they go to interview this guy
at his home and not only does

378
00:36:25.800 --> 00:36:32.800
his smoke detector badly need batteries,
and nobody like does anything, they move

379
00:36:32.840 --> 00:36:36.800
it, move it outside, go
sit on the patio or something. I

380
00:36:36.800 --> 00:36:38.639
don't know what the hells. I
don't know why that bothers me so much.

381
00:36:38.639 --> 00:36:42.400
But you got the reporter, you
got this guy that wanted to be

382
00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:45.159
a teacher. You've got whoever's running
the camera, you got maybe a sound

383
00:36:45.239 --> 00:36:49.480
person, and nobody's like, yeah, this thing sucks, we need to

384
00:36:49.639 --> 00:36:54.360
not do this interview. There the
guy is has no ability to communicate,

385
00:36:54.440 --> 00:37:00.079
at least based on this interview.
And you know that doesn't really always translate

386
00:37:00.159 --> 00:37:04.199
to testing. But I don't know
how he sits in a classroom and the

387
00:37:04.239 --> 00:37:08.559
kids know what the hell he's talking
about. They taking serious talking about the

388
00:37:09.559 --> 00:37:15.519
talking about and then hearing that he
got the money. I think I know

389
00:37:15.840 --> 00:37:22.360
Wilson either go to they won't go
to reading hearing news know what that stuff.

390
00:37:22.920 --> 00:37:28.320
And I know a couple of people
that had um not in education,

391
00:37:28.360 --> 00:37:30.719
but they've been through two million dollars. I can't I just can't listen to

392
00:37:30.719 --> 00:37:37.320
the whole thing. Yet two million
dollars, two million dollars out of one

393
00:37:37.360 --> 00:37:42.039
point eight billion the could be going
to other elements of public at or what

394
00:37:42.079 --> 00:37:46.199
the hell ever? Just absolutely bonkers
to me. So we got that story

395
00:37:46.199 --> 00:37:52.480
and let me hit this before we
get into phone calls. Also, there

396
00:37:52.559 --> 00:37:58.599
was one of these lists right North
Carolina. Actually, they just had the

397
00:37:58.639 --> 00:38:01.760
annual list of best places to do
business. We were first, and then

398
00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:07.639
Governor Cooper took all the credit in
an interview while simultaneously trash and his political

399
00:38:07.639 --> 00:38:15.159
opponents. Never mind that most of
the fiscal policy, if not all of

400
00:38:15.199 --> 00:38:20.599
it, in the state of North
Carolina, as originated with the current Republican

401
00:38:20.679 --> 00:38:24.639
makeup in the General Assembly, the
business environment, and granted, the governor's

402
00:38:24.639 --> 00:38:30.679
office does play a role in some
of the incentivizing for various big companies.

403
00:38:31.840 --> 00:38:37.000
But yeah, he did a national
interview. He's like, dah, everything

404
00:38:37.079 --> 00:38:39.480
that's good about this is me,
and everything that's bad is my political opponent.

405
00:38:39.480 --> 00:38:45.360
It was just the dumbest interview.
So this is the most miserable cities

406
00:38:45.119 --> 00:38:52.880
and the happiest cities in America.
And they went state by state on the

407
00:38:52.920 --> 00:38:59.639
most miserable and it's all the negative
stuff, crime rate, unemployment, poverty,

408
00:38:59.719 --> 00:39:05.199
love, where they have mental health
stuff, there's a there's a bunch

409
00:39:05.199 --> 00:39:07.199
of components that went into this,
so take it for what it's worth.

410
00:39:08.360 --> 00:39:12.239
It was interesting though, And then
they had the list of the happiest cities.

411
00:39:12.639 --> 00:39:17.320
So on a state by state basis, they did name the most miserable

412
00:39:17.400 --> 00:39:21.519
in the state of North Carolina.
What do you think the most miserable city

413
00:39:21.639 --> 00:39:23.480
is? Ross You haven't seen this. What do you think the most miserable

414
00:39:23.519 --> 00:39:28.960
city is? Based on those various
elements, I just told you most miserable

415
00:39:28.960 --> 00:39:34.079
city in North Carolina. If you
had to guess right, it's not I'd

416
00:39:34.119 --> 00:39:42.480
probably get on up my block,
specifically my house, your neighborhood. You

417
00:39:42.559 --> 00:39:45.239
think, no, no, it's
not. It's not in the Triangle,

418
00:39:45.320 --> 00:39:50.199
it's not in the triad. It's
Rocky Mountain or any the report it's Rocky

419
00:39:50.199 --> 00:39:52.119
mount What do you think it is
in New York? By the way,

420
00:39:52.239 --> 00:39:55.360
I would probably be Schenectady. No, you were number two most miserable.

421
00:39:55.599 --> 00:40:00.840
You lost, so arguably you're the
most miserable because you couldn't even mad that

422
00:40:00.679 --> 00:40:06.480
you lost to Binghamton. I've never
been to Binghamton, so I don't know,

423
00:40:06.800 --> 00:40:12.800
but apparently they had more stuff that
was bad. So there you go.

424
00:40:13.000 --> 00:40:15.840
So Rocky Mount the most miserable.
However, when you look at the

425
00:40:15.880 --> 00:40:20.679
happiest cities, so I found kind
of interesting. North Carolina actually has two

426
00:40:20.760 --> 00:40:25.559
cities in the happiest the top twenty
a nationwide, Raleigh and Durham. And

427
00:40:25.679 --> 00:40:31.000
actually Durham is happier than Raleigh according
to this list here, so I thought

428
00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:37.880
that was kind of crazy. The
happiest city in America is Sarasota, Bradenton

429
00:40:38.840 --> 00:40:44.119
down in Florida. Number two,
l Pass so these are the happiest.

430
00:40:44.199 --> 00:40:47.719
Number three Honolulu, s and Diago
at four, and number five was Durham

431
00:40:47.800 --> 00:40:54.239
Chapel Hill. Actually where was RALEI
were number ten, I think, and

432
00:40:54.320 --> 00:40:58.480
the happiest but yeah in the state, yeah, number ten and the happiest.

433
00:40:58.519 --> 00:41:04.559
But yes, the most miserable city
in North Carolina is apparently Rocky Mount.

434
00:41:04.800 --> 00:41:12.800
Ironically in in Virginia. Actually,
there are some of you in our

435
00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:15.119
listening area who are currently in this
city. They say, in Virginia,

436
00:41:15.559 --> 00:41:22.920
the most miserable city is Danville,
which I don't know. Every time I've

437
00:41:22.920 --> 00:41:25.360
been in Danville, everyone seems fine, so, but I also don't live

438
00:41:25.400 --> 00:41:30.280
there, so I don't know.
But maybe some of you Southern Virginia listeners

439
00:41:30.280 --> 00:41:36.679
can help us with that. Yeah, Rocky Mount mostly due to poverty level

440
00:41:37.320 --> 00:41:42.360
test scores among students and the unemployment
rate is what got it there. So

441
00:41:42.880 --> 00:41:45.599
there you go in case you're interested
in stuff like that. Now you know,

442
00:41:45.679 --> 00:41:47.559
all right, let's get to the
phones. Jamal, you're up first,

443
00:41:47.599 --> 00:41:55.119
Go right ahead. I'm from Rocky
Mountay, that's the most miserable city

444
00:41:55.119 --> 00:42:01.840
in North Carolina. I'm not surprised, Casey. When I heard dude talking,

445
00:42:01.920 --> 00:42:07.840
I'm like, what the heck is
he talking about? Like teachers can't

446
00:42:07.920 --> 00:42:13.440
pass them the exam. My wife
is a teacher's fellow. She she went

447
00:42:13.480 --> 00:42:16.920
through um the old teachers fellow here
in North Carolina, graduated from Nancy State

448
00:42:16.960 --> 00:42:21.599
and everything like that. So I'm
like, this guy's racist. But then

449
00:42:22.480 --> 00:42:23.920
I heard the sign. I'm like, is he black? Is he?

450
00:42:24.400 --> 00:42:30.159
I forget? Oh? He black? I hear the smoke detective. Yeah

451
00:42:30.159 --> 00:42:35.880
wait wait, so it's so you're
implying that because somebody doesn't have smoke detector

452
00:42:35.920 --> 00:42:40.960
batteries changed out that that is a
racial thing every time. Look, it

453
00:42:42.119 --> 00:42:47.280
is a it is a skit and
he's a askey tail for more blackc got

454
00:42:47.320 --> 00:42:53.679
told for about thirty seconds or church
that other people going church. Yeah peeled,

455
00:42:53.760 --> 00:43:00.199
he impealed at the skit that I
saw one time on this where they

456
00:43:00.199 --> 00:43:04.639
were they were liking it to being
a black stereotype. But I'm not black,

457
00:43:04.679 --> 00:43:08.400
so I don't know. But so
you're saying that's the thing. Yeah,

458
00:43:08.400 --> 00:43:14.280
idiot, does it happen to me
live? Oh there that people was

459
00:43:14.320 --> 00:43:21.440
like, yeah, you can tell
the wall you black black stop that podcast

460
00:43:21.480 --> 00:43:24.400
to say you the battery? Hey
man, I look, I've been there.

461
00:43:24.599 --> 00:43:28.000
I've been there where I didn't have
another battery. And then you make

462
00:43:28.039 --> 00:43:30.039
that decision, You're like, should
I disable this with a bat I mean,

463
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:35.159
what do you? What do you
do? I don't know. You

464
00:43:35.239 --> 00:43:38.320
can't disable it because because it's because
as you know me and my experience with

465
00:43:38.480 --> 00:43:44.519
fires, I want to make sure
oh my smoke take coople work. So

466
00:43:44.559 --> 00:43:47.280
I had to go out late at
night go to one up the Walmart and

467
00:43:47.320 --> 00:43:52.840
get some batteries. But why do
they keep saying DRM Chapel Heel. It's

468
00:43:52.880 --> 00:44:00.159
not DRM Chapel Heel. It's DRM
and it's dams Chapel. You know,

469
00:44:00.199 --> 00:44:02.679
they're not the same cities, they're
not the same counties, they're not the

470
00:44:02.719 --> 00:44:07.679
same lawfuls. Because the stuff you
get away win in Durham, you don't

471
00:44:07.800 --> 00:44:12.639
dare get away within and Chapel Hill. All them liberals always talking about equity,

472
00:44:12.719 --> 00:44:17.000
diversity and crap. But the crap
you pull in Durham with it with

473
00:44:17.360 --> 00:44:24.800
certain officials in the District Attorney office. If you tried in Orange County you

474
00:44:24.920 --> 00:44:29.840
get locked up. Well, I
think it's it show us the way it's

475
00:44:29.840 --> 00:44:35.960
it's just the way that metro metro
designations are assigned. So Durham Chapel Hill

476
00:44:36.119 --> 00:44:40.199
is a media and actually depending on
which media you're talking about it, it

477
00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:45.880
actually differentiates. But sometimes it's Raleigh
Durham Chapel Hill. Like in Radio Um

478
00:44:46.119 --> 00:44:51.320
it's it's by county. So each
of the two markets were in there's a

479
00:44:51.400 --> 00:44:54.800
certain counties that are primary markets.
So but I've seen yeah, and then

480
00:44:54.920 --> 00:45:00.920
Raleigh Kerry tend to pair together in
some instances, so its just a pet

481
00:45:00.519 --> 00:45:06.480
Yeah, like Greensboro High Point will
get paired, and then Winston Salem will

482
00:45:06.480 --> 00:45:12.800
be its own things sometimes and then
sometimes Winston Salem h and High Pointer paired.

483
00:45:12.800 --> 00:45:16.079
And it just depends how they slice
it up. So but there you

484
00:45:16.119 --> 00:45:22.480
go if you move from the least
happy city to the to the most miserable

485
00:45:22.480 --> 00:45:25.960
city to the happiest city. So
aren't you proud of yourself? Okay,

486
00:45:27.119 --> 00:45:30.360
people get shot. People get shot
on fourth of July here in the city

487
00:45:30.360 --> 00:45:34.960
I've currently live in. Now,
Oh, the people did just so happy.

488
00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:37.559
Just keep just keep a bulletproo vest
when you grabbed put the list together?

489
00:45:37.639 --> 00:45:39.400
Man, I didn't put the list, guy, I don't know,

490
00:45:39.599 --> 00:45:43.000
So all right, Jamal, thanks
for to call there. Go change your

491
00:45:43.000 --> 00:45:46.440
battery in your smoke detector or whatever. Yeah, I didn't. I don't

492
00:45:46.480 --> 00:45:50.159
put the list together. I just
read them, Alan, what's up?

493
00:45:51.840 --> 00:45:55.880
Hey? I was just curious.
You know, we've gone from giving participation

494
00:45:55.920 --> 00:46:00.480
trophies to kids who can't play a
sport to get at one point eight millions,

495
00:46:00.559 --> 00:46:04.159
to people who get pass a test. No, no, no,

496
00:46:04.639 --> 00:46:07.840
all the teachers who hold on,
hold on, He's getting over two million

497
00:46:07.920 --> 00:46:13.239
the total payout is one point eight
billion to all of them. Um,

498
00:46:13.280 --> 00:46:17.119
he's right over two million. Yes, but what about all those teachers who

499
00:46:17.199 --> 00:46:22.400
did pass the test? Teach the
color who did pass the test? Well,

500
00:46:22.400 --> 00:46:24.480
they're done. You know, we're
going to give one point eight billion

501
00:46:24.519 --> 00:46:30.320
dollars to somebody who can't pass the
test, but we can't pay the ones

502
00:46:30.320 --> 00:46:36.119
who are actually teaching our kids.
Well they're they're they're dumb. That's their

503
00:46:36.159 --> 00:46:38.360
own fault for passing the test,
sir. Then they had to go to

504
00:46:38.400 --> 00:46:40.920
Oh okay, yeah, I mean
look at that. They had to go

505
00:46:40.960 --> 00:46:45.079
to work, get up, put
lesson plans. Yeah. I didn't think

506
00:46:45.079 --> 00:46:47.519
of it that way, Casey had
that's a great guy. That's a great

507
00:46:47.519 --> 00:46:52.320
way to get who's smarter here?
That guy who didn't do crap and it's

508
00:46:52.320 --> 00:46:54.599
gonna get two million or people.
They had to bust their butts. So

509
00:46:55.440 --> 00:47:01.880
come on, man, you're not
thinking this time. And I appreciate the

510
00:47:01.920 --> 00:47:06.800
who's the who's the real genius?
Um? Maybe the guy getting a check

511
00:47:06.840 --> 00:47:10.000
for two mills? Bob, go
right ahead. Oh, I know,

512
00:47:10.079 --> 00:47:14.960
if if it hadn't been for that
darn test, he could have been teaching

513
00:47:15.000 --> 00:47:19.079
our kids. I mean yeah,
I don't think we should have I don't

514
00:47:19.119 --> 00:47:22.880
think we should have had to pay
out anything, but maybe it's worth it.

515
00:47:23.920 --> 00:47:27.360
Well, why is it worth it? What? You know? The

516
00:47:27.679 --> 00:47:31.559
real solution here is just we didn't
pass the test. So that sucks good.

517
00:47:31.719 --> 00:47:36.159
I mean, I mean, how
do you how do you get to

518
00:47:36.199 --> 00:47:37.800
that point? I mean, I'm
assuming did he have a if he had

519
00:47:37.840 --> 00:47:45.920
a teaching certificate or had passed the
college that taught education, they should go

520
00:47:45.960 --> 00:47:49.599
back and look at accreditation of that
college, because that was the first film

521
00:47:49.639 --> 00:47:55.559
face that should have stopped it.
He had the requisite educational requirements, So

522
00:47:57.079 --> 00:47:59.719
I don't know which college he went
to, but I was reading the list

523
00:47:59.760 --> 00:48:02.039
of what the requirements were, and
if not for the test, he would

524
00:48:02.039 --> 00:48:07.480
have gotten his teaching license. So
there you go. Sounds like there's there

525
00:48:07.519 --> 00:48:12.800
was a lot of promotion or whatever
within the school. He shouldn't have got

526
00:48:12.800 --> 00:48:15.719
out of the school. Some would
argue there was some drop balls along the

527
00:48:15.760 --> 00:48:20.760
way. So and again, maybe
you know, maybe his his biggest problem

528
00:48:20.880 --> 00:48:23.920
is his communication skills and he doesn't
test well. And you know, maybe

529
00:48:23.920 --> 00:48:30.559
he met in that educational environment,
maybe met the requirements, and maybe he

530
00:48:30.599 --> 00:48:35.679
was maybe he was a fully functioning
adult when he took the test and then

531
00:48:35.960 --> 00:48:39.320
went into a depression and a life
of crack or something. But he's not

532
00:48:39.400 --> 00:48:42.960
functioning now, I'm not here's the
deal. I'm not going to hack on

533
00:48:43.000 --> 00:48:46.239
the guy from an intellectual standpoint,
because again, he did he didn't test,

534
00:48:46.280 --> 00:48:50.320
He didn't pass the test. But
you know, I don't know that

535
00:48:50.360 --> 00:48:53.519
he's a bad person, but I
think he's definitely taken advantage of this and

536
00:48:53.880 --> 00:48:58.960
uh, and it's pretty shameful.
Um, But you know, I don't

537
00:48:59.000 --> 00:49:00.920
get the impression that he some sort
of crack addict out he's you know,

538
00:49:00.960 --> 00:49:06.320
he's not the dude from Chappelle's show. But yeah, nobody, nobody's ever

539
00:49:06.360 --> 00:49:07.840
went you know what, maybe this
ain't for you, and he went,

540
00:49:07.920 --> 00:49:10.840
you know what, maybe you're right, which is something that seemingly should have

541
00:49:10.840 --> 00:49:19.039
happened. So, I mean,
I just I think that the tests should

542
00:49:19.039 --> 00:49:22.880
have been sufficient to weed him out, and it did the job it was

543
00:49:22.920 --> 00:49:27.000
supposed to do, right, But
I think damage would have been higher if

544
00:49:27.000 --> 00:49:30.960
he'd actually made it into the classroom. Yeah, so it was some of

545
00:49:30.960 --> 00:49:32.760
it. I don't even know,
sir. After I read that article about

546
00:49:32.800 --> 00:49:36.119
the rubber room, and thanks for
the call up there in New York.

547
00:49:36.800 --> 00:49:38.679
Who the hell knows? Man?
All right, seven twenty one case O

548
00:49:38.800 --> 00:49:45.400
Day Radio Program, what's going on
in Oxford? I'm gonna have to get

549
00:49:45.440 --> 00:49:49.840
a spy report from but one of
you lives up that a way. What

550
00:49:49.880 --> 00:49:52.760
are you guys doing up there?
You got some crazy dude running around stabbing

551
00:49:52.840 --> 00:49:57.639
people, just willy nilly all over
town. So a weird story. We'll

552
00:49:57.679 --> 00:50:02.679
get to the details on that.
And I'm shocked they're suggesting some mental health

553
00:50:02.719 --> 00:50:08.199
issues there, Absolutely shocked. We'll
do that coming up here on the case

554
00:50:08.360 --> 00:50:14.880
O Day Radio program one oh six
one FM Talk and nine four five w

555
00:50:15.199 --> 00:50:20.280
PTI, two stations driving the best
in talk. This is case O Day

556
00:50:20.639 --> 00:50:27.039
and Carolina's Morning News. Let me
get one more quick ball on the Miserable

557
00:50:27.079 --> 00:50:30.719
city slash Happy Cities. And then
coming up on the show, the story

558
00:50:30.760 --> 00:50:37.159
out of Oxford, North Carolina,
the craziness Man Scottie. What's up?

559
00:50:38.519 --> 00:50:43.320
Hey? Um, I just wanted
to time in on the Rocky Mount being

560
00:50:43.639 --> 00:50:50.239
the unhappiest city in North Carolina.
I'm almost forty years old. I grew

561
00:50:50.320 --> 00:50:53.239
up in Rocky Mount. My parents
still live there, and there are so

562
00:50:53.280 --> 00:51:00.719
many things that have gone into the
downward slide of that town. The textile

563
00:51:00.760 --> 00:51:07.119
industry got screwed in the nineties.
Um. The was the huge Hurricane Floyd

564
00:51:07.360 --> 00:51:12.519
flood that happened in ninety eight or
ninety nine wiped out like my like just

565
00:51:12.800 --> 00:51:17.280
total neighborhoods and my entire childhood neighborhood
has gone. People just left. Um.

566
00:51:17.320 --> 00:51:22.440
They had the same mayor for thirty
five years from ninth from the nineteen

567
00:51:22.599 --> 00:51:28.000
seventies until the early two thousands.
He had like nine terms or something.

568
00:51:28.679 --> 00:51:31.679
Um, the instant he was gone, we had the first like new mayor

569
00:51:31.679 --> 00:51:36.000
in three decades. I got ten
seconds. It doesn't sound like you're all

570
00:51:36.039 --> 00:51:38.320
the way. Yeah, Will you
hold on because I gotta go to Yeah.

571
00:51:38.320 --> 00:51:50.079
Absolutely, all right, So I
hang on. Okay, your day

572
00:51:50.599 --> 00:51:58.239
smarter one o six one am Talk
and News Talk w PTI more with Casey

573
00:51:58.840 --> 00:52:05.639
starts now, all right, breaking
into this Oxford insanity and a few other

574
00:52:05.679 --> 00:52:13.079
stories, including a rather ironic follow
up to the launch of the quote unquote

575
00:52:13.159 --> 00:52:22.559
Twitter Killer the threads compliments of the
meta folks. I was chuckling reading this

576
00:52:22.599 --> 00:52:30.880
story yesterday. We were we were
chatting with Scottie who uh ross worshing from

577
00:52:30.920 --> 00:52:34.840
the Rocky Mount Chamber of Commerce and
Visitors beer over something. She was regaling

578
00:52:34.920 --> 00:52:39.360
us with all the fun lure from
Rocky Mount. And here's the thing,

579
00:52:39.440 --> 00:52:42.800
I don't have an opinion one way
or the other. I've been to Rocky

580
00:52:42.840 --> 00:52:50.679
Mount obviously, um see would trying
to remember what I was. I was

581
00:52:50.800 --> 00:52:54.440
actually there there. Obviously I passed
through it a bunch, but um I

582
00:52:54.599 --> 00:52:58.440
was there there for a couple things. One was for a golf thing,

583
00:52:59.519 --> 00:53:01.519
and and there was one other time. I don't even remember why I was

584
00:53:01.559 --> 00:53:06.880
there, and I don't know.
It felt like every other middle size city

585
00:53:06.880 --> 00:53:09.920
in North Carolina. Obviously, they
got their challenges. Some of them are

586
00:53:09.960 --> 00:53:16.480
not a unique when you get into
the implications of NAFTA and textiles industry and

587
00:53:17.519 --> 00:53:22.400
things along those lines. But admittedly
we've done some stories over the years,

588
00:53:22.519 --> 00:53:24.800
especially when it gets into it.
Didn't they just have like they had a

589
00:53:24.800 --> 00:53:29.440
city council members like I don't even
have to pay for my utilities, And

590
00:53:29.519 --> 00:53:34.880
from the outside looking in, it
looked a little like corruption. So you

591
00:53:34.920 --> 00:53:37.639
know, there's there's that out there. But I don't want to judge at

592
00:53:37.679 --> 00:53:39.199
all. I know we have some
fine listeners in the Rocky Mountain area.

593
00:53:39.239 --> 00:53:44.719
And if you're happy, great,
But according to this list, based on

594
00:53:45.199 --> 00:53:50.000
factors like unemployment, raid and poverty, raid and crime and all the rest

595
00:53:50.119 --> 00:53:53.679
it, it has a lot of
things working against it. So you know,

596
00:53:53.800 --> 00:53:59.079
we we put it out there.
Anyway, Scottie, go right ahead

597
00:53:59.360 --> 00:54:05.760
back after the breaks. Used to
live there, and so I'm born and

598
00:54:05.840 --> 00:54:08.000
raised, Yeah, born and raised, grew up there. Like I said,

599
00:54:08.039 --> 00:54:14.119
my parents are still there, and
um having number one, gosh,

600
00:54:14.159 --> 00:54:17.159
the place really does feel completely different
now than it did when I was growing

601
00:54:17.239 --> 00:54:22.800
up. And even that's without the
rose colored glasses of childhood. Um.

602
00:54:22.320 --> 00:54:28.000
But just to continue the list,
I mean, you're on the junction of

603
00:54:28.239 --> 00:54:32.440
sixty four ninety five. The drug
trafficking there is just nuts. Yes,

604
00:54:32.639 --> 00:54:37.440
we believe that the city council is
corrupt as well. Um. Again,

605
00:54:37.559 --> 00:54:42.679
the list seriously can just go on
and on. I don't feel unsafe when

606
00:54:42.760 --> 00:54:49.519
I'm there, but shootings definitely happen
all the time, and shoot even so,

607
00:54:49.719 --> 00:54:54.360
there was a Sheets gas station that
literally closed because the theft problem was

608
00:54:54.400 --> 00:54:58.800
so bad there. Um. I
mean, has anybody ever heard of a

609
00:54:58.880 --> 00:55:02.760
Sheets closing any wherever? No,
you know, I can't think of one

610
00:55:02.880 --> 00:55:07.199
off the top of my head.
Um, yeah, I did have a

611
00:55:07.239 --> 00:55:08.400
beef with your heart. You know
what. Here's the thing I remember.

612
00:55:08.440 --> 00:55:13.400
I was driving through and there's a
hearties right as you're cutting through town.

613
00:55:13.480 --> 00:55:17.920
This is literally just right off the
highway there, and they can't their clocks

614
00:55:17.920 --> 00:55:23.159
don't work, and they switched from
breakfast to lunch five minutes early and wouldn't

615
00:55:23.239 --> 00:55:28.480
yield. So that's that's the Rocky
Mount memory I have. So I know

616
00:55:28.519 --> 00:55:31.400
it's petty, but you know it's
me, so whatever. Well, one

617
00:55:31.480 --> 00:55:36.639
last petty thing. Um, I
actually, uh, Roy Cooper is from

618
00:55:36.639 --> 00:55:39.599
there, as I'm sure you well
know, and I knew him. I

619
00:55:39.639 --> 00:55:44.199
went to church with him and his
girls and don't worry, we don't.

620
00:55:44.239 --> 00:55:47.280
I don't have a very high opinion
of him either. So well, the

621
00:55:47.280 --> 00:55:55.519
man has COVID be sensitive Okay,
oh darn time. Right. Well,

622
00:55:55.559 --> 00:55:59.880
I don't know if it's the fifth
I did find it and thanks for the

623
00:56:00.000 --> 00:56:04.039
call there, Scott. It did
find it interesting though, because what does

624
00:56:04.079 --> 00:56:09.159
his tweet say? Because I'm confused, and now that the his right hand

625
00:56:09.239 --> 00:56:14.440
woman in the form of Mandy Cohen, is now a head of the CDC,

626
00:56:15.440 --> 00:56:22.360
I wonder if maybe she's giving him
some advice here. Yeah, oh

627
00:56:22.400 --> 00:56:24.639
that's right, I have it over
here. Sorry, that was in my

628
00:56:24.719 --> 00:56:29.840
stack, but it's after all right, this is what he tweeted yesterday U

629
00:56:30.039 --> 00:56:32.599
and he know it's him because he
put his initials after, which is indicative

630
00:56:32.639 --> 00:56:37.440
of he wrote it and not his
staff. So I tested positive for COVID

631
00:56:37.480 --> 00:56:43.079
today, but thankfully it's mild and
I'm feeling fine. I'm working remotely for

632
00:56:43.119 --> 00:56:45.159
the rest of the week and ready
to be back out and about by the

633
00:56:45.159 --> 00:56:55.400
weekend, probably when the fundraisers are. Um, I'm confused. Um,

634
00:56:58.480 --> 00:57:00.000
oh that's right. Let me just
reminded me the one on South Maine and

635
00:57:00.079 --> 00:57:02.719
Rocky Mountclip they did, but I
think that had more to do with the

636
00:57:02.760 --> 00:57:07.920
fact that they that they built the
one north of there. So talking about

637
00:57:07.960 --> 00:57:10.840
sheets, but I don't know.
I'm not on the sheets planning committee.

638
00:57:10.880 --> 00:57:15.400
So anyway, back to Roycob,
I thought that if you had a positive

639
00:57:15.440 --> 00:57:19.280
test, and I'm pretty sure it's
still the policy for a lot of businesses,

640
00:57:19.280 --> 00:57:23.360
maybe even ours. Weren't you if
you pop positive, aren't you supposed

641
00:57:23.360 --> 00:57:29.719
to be not around people for like
ten days following your a positive test?

642
00:57:30.800 --> 00:57:35.199
Is that not still the rule.
Do they change that, because I remember

643
00:57:35.199 --> 00:57:37.599
it was two weeks and then they
backed it to ten days. I remember

644
00:57:37.639 --> 00:57:39.119
when they backed it to ten days, Everyone's like, dah, they're trying

645
00:57:39.119 --> 00:57:44.360
to kill people because it was I
think it was in the course of the

646
00:57:44.400 --> 00:57:46.960
Trump administration. But I did it
decrease since then? I don't even pay

647
00:57:47.000 --> 00:57:53.400
attention anymore. So if he pop
positive yesterday because he said I pested positive

648
00:57:53.480 --> 00:57:58.039
today, how is he going to
be out and about doing stuff around the

649
00:57:58.079 --> 00:58:00.360
weekend. Yeah, that's not ten
days. I can do the math.

650
00:58:01.599 --> 00:58:08.360
So I'm very confused with the parameters
are there now? So somebody may have

651
00:58:08.400 --> 00:58:12.360
to help me with that. But
maybe now that Mandy's gone, he doesn't

652
00:58:12.400 --> 00:58:16.360
have somebody to be like dods got
you gotta do ten days, you know,

653
00:58:16.480 --> 00:58:22.400
for appearances, because remember famously we
had the video of her walking up

654
00:58:22.440 --> 00:58:25.679
to the meeting, not realizing the
cameras were in white pan and like putting

655
00:58:25.880 --> 00:58:30.960
pretend putting on her mask and then
taking it off almost in the same motion.

656
00:58:31.519 --> 00:58:36.360
One of my favorite videos from all
of that political theater. But yeah,

657
00:58:36.360 --> 00:58:38.079
if he tested positive yesterday, I
don't I don't think you should be

658
00:58:38.079 --> 00:58:43.679
doing any fundraisers or whatever he's got
planned this weekend for ten days, because

659
00:58:44.039 --> 00:58:49.239
that's what it's literally attempted murder,
I believe, or however it was explained

660
00:58:49.280 --> 00:58:52.119
to me. So I gotta be
careful there, all right, Um,

661
00:58:53.880 --> 00:59:00.199
this story so threads threads the Twitter
kill, right, this was going to

662
00:59:00.239 --> 00:59:06.159
be the end of Twitter. A
lot of gleeful moonbats. The Twitter Killer

663
00:59:06.280 --> 00:59:15.400
released by the folks over at Facebook, Instagram apparently running into some issues now.

664
00:59:15.440 --> 00:59:20.599
And here's the thing, I frankly, there should be a there should

665
00:59:20.639 --> 00:59:24.880
be a bunch of social media that
is successful because, especially when you get

666
00:59:24.920 --> 00:59:31.360
into the digital side of things,
even though the dynamic has changed with Elon

667
00:59:31.440 --> 00:59:37.480
must buying Twitter to some extent,
it really is a very small selection that

668
00:59:37.559 --> 00:59:45.280
you have. And when they're all
operating the same way from a penalty standpoint

669
00:59:45.559 --> 00:59:49.880
and from an oversight standpoint, and
they all decide to go moonbat, it

670
00:59:49.960 --> 00:59:53.119
was a very tough time for people
being able to communicate on social media.

671
00:59:53.800 --> 00:59:59.400
However, I remember one of the
things that Twitter announced last week that everyone

672
00:59:59.440 --> 01:00:06.519
lost their minds over is a sliding
scale of the number of posts that you

673
01:00:06.599 --> 01:00:10.280
can essentially interact with their view and
depending on whether you have the blue check,

674
01:00:13.960 --> 01:00:16.239
they still have a limited number.
And the reason was as you essentially

675
01:00:16.280 --> 01:00:22.280
had these bots that were crawling all
of this interaction and in harvesting data,

676
01:00:22.360 --> 01:00:27.679
and so in an effort to put
a stop to that, and there was

677
01:00:27.679 --> 01:00:30.440
a couple other reasons they were doing
it, but to put a stop to

678
01:00:30.519 --> 01:00:37.119
that, basically, they limited interactions
rate limits. I believe it's what they

679
01:00:37.159 --> 01:00:38.480
called it. And everyone lost their
mind, Like I can only look at

680
01:00:38.519 --> 01:00:44.000
what was it, like six thousand
posts or something to day, I scrolled

681
01:00:44.000 --> 01:00:45.760
Twitter a lot, and I don't
have a blue check, and I think

682
01:00:45.760 --> 01:00:50.480
the numbers even less. I've yet
to get the you've seen everything you can

683
01:00:50.519 --> 01:00:54.480
see today warning, So I don't
know how long you've got to be on

684
01:00:54.519 --> 01:01:00.199
Twitter during the day to actually hit
that number. But people were screw even

685
01:01:00.199 --> 01:01:06.039
bloody murder over this, and it
was yet another sign that Twitter was essentially

686
01:01:06.079 --> 01:01:10.079
dead in the water. Well,
those rate limits had the net effect of,

687
01:01:10.519 --> 01:01:16.800
I guess, pushing some of these
folks to Threads, these folks who

688
01:01:16.800 --> 01:01:22.280
were harvesting data and running scams and
all of it, and because they didn't

689
01:01:22.280 --> 01:01:25.840
have a rate limit. So Threads
yesterday announced they're going to put a rate

690
01:01:25.840 --> 01:01:30.000
limit in the very thing that was
supposed to be the last dying kick of

691
01:01:30.079 --> 01:01:36.039
Twitter, Threads is having to do. Adam Morsi, the head of Instagram,

692
01:01:36.079 --> 01:01:40.199
which is essentially Threads it attaches to
your Instagram account, says they're going

693
01:01:40.239 --> 01:01:46.480
to have to tighten up things like
rate limits due to spam attacks. This

694
01:01:46.679 --> 01:01:53.599
craziness man running into those very very
same issues, which I guess between the

695
01:01:53.639 --> 01:01:59.320
ability to spam you and harvest data
was something that wasn't being policed by the

696
01:01:59.320 --> 01:02:02.599
previous Twitter ownership, because I don't
think it just started. I think that's

697
01:02:02.599 --> 01:02:07.039
been a gold mine of information for
those who would want to spam for a

698
01:02:07.039 --> 01:02:12.480
long time because it has all the
engagement. But yeah, they declared Elon

699
01:02:12.599 --> 01:02:15.400
was destroying Twitter by implementing rate limits, and now Threads right out the gates

700
01:02:15.440 --> 01:02:19.360
got to do it, and they're
still having some battery issues and some other

701
01:02:19.360 --> 01:02:22.119
stuff they got to work out.
Now they probably have a better chance for

702
01:02:22.159 --> 01:02:25.679
a couple of reasons, not the
least of which is, as we've talked

703
01:02:25.679 --> 01:02:31.159
about on this show, the fact
that if you're already associated with Facebook Instagram,

704
01:02:31.360 --> 01:02:35.400
it's a one button joint. You
don't have to fill everything out,

705
01:02:35.440 --> 01:02:38.559
so it's a lot easier for people
to get on there, and there is

706
01:02:38.639 --> 01:02:46.000
obviously an appetite for some to continue
to be on Twitter but also tweet simultaneously

707
01:02:46.039 --> 01:02:50.960
about how they went over to threads
and you should join them there. So

708
01:02:51.000 --> 01:02:53.320
there is a virtue signal that goes
along with it. But now they're having

709
01:02:53.360 --> 01:02:57.320
to do the same stuff, which
I thought was rather interesting. All right,

710
01:02:57.360 --> 01:03:01.159
seven forty six kse Ody radio program. Oh no, we're on the

711
01:03:01.159 --> 01:03:06.440
phones again. Okay, all right, race agent from the Weather Channel.

712
01:03:06.480 --> 01:03:12.400
What's going on? My man Matt
going on? He smoke and some of

713
01:03:12.440 --> 01:03:16.119
that smoked down the ground level.
So yeah, quality alerts for most of

714
01:03:16.159 --> 01:03:21.800
the state. Actually, it's a
little uncomfortable, kind of hazy looking out

715
01:03:21.800 --> 01:03:24.039
there once again as we head through
today, there's not going to be much

716
01:03:24.039 --> 01:03:29.280
relief. Maybe a pop up shower
of thunder shower, a load of bid

717
01:03:29.360 --> 01:03:32.679
nineties, just like we had yesterday, were a little cool. And the

718
01:03:32.800 --> 01:03:37.320
Triad as compared to the triangles eighty
six at the airport Triad and Wally was

719
01:03:37.559 --> 01:03:42.000
ninety degrees today. Load of bid
nineties, So that's that variation. Will

720
01:03:42.039 --> 01:03:45.840
still feel even with the hazy sunshine. Uncomfortable close to one hundred, and

721
01:03:45.920 --> 01:03:50.440
we may get a shower of thunder
shower tonight and tomorrow after a little better

722
01:03:50.519 --> 01:03:53.159
chance with a few showers thunderstorms in
the morning hour. Something may try to

723
01:03:53.199 --> 01:03:55.599
sneak through also, so I have
to keep an eye on that for about

724
01:03:55.639 --> 01:04:00.599
this time Tomorrow upper eighties, low
nineties, and then Thursday Friday. It

725
01:04:00.679 --> 01:04:03.440
looks like the next change you'll start
working in as it's still going to be

726
01:04:03.440 --> 01:04:08.559
hot Thursday, but we will get
a shower thundershower threat to come on in

727
01:04:08.880 --> 01:04:12.320
and that's going to clear us out
by Friday. As that system passes through

728
01:04:12.360 --> 01:04:15.239
on both days ending upper eighties to
low nineties. The hotter day will probably

729
01:04:15.400 --> 01:04:18.679
be Thursday, so a few days
here ninety plus, maybe into the mid

730
01:04:18.760 --> 01:04:24.480
nineties, especially for the Triangle.
But the storms will start tomorrow Thursday.

731
01:04:24.840 --> 01:04:27.800
Some better weather ahead is a head
towards Friday. In the weekend, my

732
01:04:27.920 --> 01:04:30.400
seat temperatures come down just a little
bit casey, But I think the bigger

733
01:04:30.440 --> 01:04:33.679
story today is really the haste and
smoke with the air quality alerts, a

734
01:04:33.679 --> 01:04:38.199
little bit uncomfortable out there for some
of us. There's not many of us.

735
01:04:39.360 --> 01:04:42.000
Yeah, yeah, it sucks.
Everything sucks. You now, but

736
01:04:42.239 --> 01:04:45.440
you know it is what it is. It is July, so we truck

737
01:04:45.519 --> 01:04:46.559
through. All right, thanks sir, appreciate it. We'll talk in an

738
01:04:46.559 --> 01:04:50.960
hour. Yep, all right,
race stage it there from the weather channel.

739
01:04:51.719 --> 01:04:55.400
We'll come back here in just a
few we can grab a call or

740
01:04:55.480 --> 01:04:58.159
two and then yes, I got
to get into this Oxford story. I'll

741
01:04:58.199 --> 01:05:09.519
do it next. Hang on keeping
you connected. This is ninety four five

742
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:14.880
WPTI in the Triad and one oh
six one FM talk in the Triangle.

743
01:05:17.119 --> 01:05:23.519
All right, seven fifty three back
now here on the KCO Day radio program.

744
01:05:23.599 --> 01:05:30.079
So three people stabbed the course of
about nineteen minutes up in Oxford,

745
01:05:30.119 --> 01:05:35.840
man north of Durham. There,
Gordon Police say twenty one year old man

746
01:05:36.039 --> 01:05:45.880
um M y l I E cad
is that Malik my Leek Malik Webb was

747
01:05:45.000 --> 01:05:49.880
arrested in connection with the stabbings.
It started very early yesterday, around seven

748
01:05:50.000 --> 01:05:57.679
thirty in the morning, so basically
almost exactly twenty four hours ago near Granville

749
01:05:57.719 --> 01:06:05.159
County Administrative Offices where one of the
employees there was stabbed. Then, according

750
01:06:05.159 --> 01:06:13.400
to police, Webb left the county
offices, went to the walmart on Lewis

751
01:06:13.480 --> 01:06:17.599
Street and stabbed a dude there and
then left the walmart, and then went

752
01:06:17.800 --> 01:06:28.440
to McDonald's and stabbed somebody there,
So one person each location. All victims

753
01:06:28.480 --> 01:06:32.000
taken to the hospital for treatment,
expected to pull through. They haven't released

754
01:06:32.000 --> 01:06:38.519
the identity of the victims. About
ninety minutes following the first stabbing, police

755
01:06:38.519 --> 01:06:42.400
had him in custody. I guess
what is this. They received information about

756
01:06:42.400 --> 01:06:46.719
his vehicle, located it near eighty
five, and then the chase was on.

757
01:06:46.840 --> 01:06:50.119
It wasn't a long one. They
got him. As for motive,

758
01:06:50.199 --> 01:06:59.320
it appears mental health. I guess
they're speculating. That's Sheriff Robert Fountain who

759
01:06:59.320 --> 01:07:01.000
said, quote, it was just
somebody may have had a bad day,

760
01:07:03.119 --> 01:07:06.760
may have been a mental health crisis. We're working with the DA's office to

761
01:07:08.159 --> 01:07:13.280
figure it out. You can have
it's more in a bad day. I've

762
01:07:13.320 --> 01:07:15.280
had a bad day, You've had
a bad day. We've all had a

763
01:07:15.280 --> 01:07:19.679
bad day. You got to go
to three different places starts stabbing people,

764
01:07:20.000 --> 01:07:26.880
So it's more in a bad day. Arguably you maybe thought about it.

765
01:07:28.480 --> 01:07:30.639
Some guy cuts you off in traffic. It just compounds everything going on.

766
01:07:30.719 --> 01:07:33.400
You're like, daw what I wouldn't
do? But you don't do that,

767
01:07:34.119 --> 01:07:43.679
obviously dude allegedly did so, Yeah, just craziness. I'm surprised it wasn't

768
01:07:43.679 --> 01:07:47.719
shot, be quite honest with you. But I don't know the stealthiness of

769
01:07:47.760 --> 01:07:53.159
the individual attacks there. And I
guess maybe there's some advantage to doing it

770
01:07:53.159 --> 01:07:56.039
a bunch of different places because once
you once you do it at the one

771
01:07:56.079 --> 01:07:59.119
time, everyone's kind of on guard
man once they figure out what's going on.

772
01:08:00.400 --> 01:08:04.159
So yeah, yeah, is Oxford
do they have a lot of crime

773
01:08:04.199 --> 01:08:08.199
issues up there? I remember I've
gotten emails from people or like some of

774
01:08:08.199 --> 01:08:13.840
the some of the communities in and
around Durham have seen pickups in crime.

775
01:08:14.039 --> 01:08:16.479
Although this doesn't sound like, you
know, it's uh, you know some

776
01:08:16.560 --> 01:08:23.000
sort of gang, be for retaliatory
something, or you know a bar that's

777
01:08:23.000 --> 01:08:26.239
got a bad rep. This just
sounds like some crazy person with a knife.

778
01:08:26.279 --> 01:08:31.520
So maybe it's maybe it's not fair
to throw it into the into the

779
01:08:31.640 --> 01:08:34.880
larger collection anyway, I don't know. If yes, if you live up

780
01:08:34.880 --> 01:08:40.720
and around Oxford, you can weigh
in eight eight eight nine three four seven

781
01:08:40.800 --> 01:08:44.880
eight seventy four. Also, and
this speaks to another story that I had

782
01:08:44.960 --> 01:08:48.720
yesterday. I didn't really get into
I was reading about um and these are

783
01:08:48.800 --> 01:08:56.399
I guess nice apartments. One of
the new apartments off of Glenwood Devin Apartments

784
01:08:58.479 --> 01:09:01.199
where there has been a rash of
the car break ins in the parking deck,

785
01:09:01.239 --> 01:09:04.960
and the residences you can imagine,
are not happy, especially because I

786
01:09:05.000 --> 01:09:09.199
guess they assume when they pay the
kind of money that these apartments command,

787
01:09:09.880 --> 01:09:13.239
there's going to be a level of
security there. But it's what they were

788
01:09:13.319 --> 01:09:15.600
told, is the reason that I
have the story in the stack today.

789
01:09:16.399 --> 01:09:20.840
One of the residents of the eleven
cars who have their windows smashed so people

790
01:09:20.880 --> 01:09:27.840
could go through and steal everything inside
said that they were essentially told by police

791
01:09:28.119 --> 01:09:31.920
and this is their version of it. Oh, well, you live downtown,

792
01:09:32.119 --> 01:09:40.960
you have to expect this. This
is this is the death nail for

793
01:09:41.000 --> 01:09:45.760
a lot of cities and central part
of the city. So San Francisco is

794
01:09:45.800 --> 01:09:51.800
among those hit hardests through a combination
of things. And they accentuate COVID as

795
01:09:51.880 --> 01:09:56.640
the reason that downtowns are in a
lot of trouble. But it's far more

796
01:09:56.680 --> 01:10:04.840
than that. People see downtowns in
many US cities as lawless. They you

797
01:10:04.880 --> 01:10:10.800
know, they see it as a
place, especially as night falls were as

798
01:10:10.920 --> 01:10:14.279
much more dangerous than it used to
be. And so all of these city

799
01:10:14.359 --> 01:10:16.920
leaders, like in the San Francisco
story I saw yesterday, you were scrambling

800
01:10:16.920 --> 01:10:20.000
a whole you know what, We've
got to work on a few things.

801
01:10:20.079 --> 01:10:23.720
But you know, it's it's a
big city. It's always been like this.

802
01:10:24.760 --> 01:10:28.640
I'm not really people had a certain
amount of confidence. So we'll compare

803
01:10:28.640 --> 01:10:56.439
and contrast coming up. Hang on
for that are those chicken wings? What

804
01:10:56.640 --> 01:10:59.439
is that? I think that's very
into Are you eating? What are you

805
01:10:59.479 --> 01:11:05.920
eating? It Ross's TECTI, yes, what's that? It's not the wings

806
01:11:06.039 --> 01:11:11.880
from our dual narrative yesterday. I
find that very interesting. I was making

807
01:11:11.880 --> 01:11:15.199
a comparison yesterday which had nothing.
I didn't use Ross's name once or anything.

808
01:11:15.239 --> 01:11:18.039
But when they said that they couldn't
figure out who the cocaine was,

809
01:11:18.119 --> 01:11:24.079
and then in the White House and
then Tom Toott mentioned that literally they didn't

810
01:11:24.119 --> 01:11:29.319
even ask Hunter Biden about it.
I just thought that was a little odd,

811
01:11:29.319 --> 01:11:31.920
And I painted a scenario like,
let's say a salesperson had an event

812
01:11:32.039 --> 01:11:34.680
or whatever, and they put some
wings in the fridge, and sometime in

813
01:11:34.720 --> 01:11:40.119
the morning, the wings that are
in the community fridge here the radio station

814
01:11:40.279 --> 01:11:45.920
disappeared, wouldn't you be able to
narrow the list of suspects at least to

815
01:11:45.000 --> 01:11:49.359
talk to? And I only meant, you know, from a morning show

816
01:11:49.439 --> 01:11:54.359
perspective. And then Ross is like
dah no, I was attacked by what

817
01:11:54.520 --> 01:11:59.880
was it a crazed homeless man covered
in wing sauce or whatever the narrative was.

818
01:12:00.079 --> 01:12:04.439
The wing sauce strangler apparently went after
Ross and now he's eating something that

819
01:12:04.479 --> 01:12:09.079
maybe wings. I don't know.
It's weird because they weren't real. It

820
01:12:09.159 --> 01:12:14.359
was just a just a fun little
comparison to help people understand the absurdity of

821
01:12:14.479 --> 01:12:19.000
not at least asking Hunter Biden about
it. But here's where we find ourselves.

822
01:12:19.039 --> 01:12:21.399
All right, good morning, it
is our number three here on the

823
01:12:21.479 --> 01:12:30.119
case O Day radio program. Let's
see here. Flip over to this real

824
01:12:30.199 --> 01:12:36.399
quick. I just saw so one
of the big discussion topics, because Madden

825
01:12:36.479 --> 01:12:47.920
the video game is obviously a big
deal, is where different players overall rankings

826
01:12:47.960 --> 01:12:51.840
are so the you know, each
player has a set of ratings that go

827
01:12:51.920 --> 01:12:57.960
into their skill set and on a
scale of one to one hundred, and

828
01:12:58.079 --> 01:13:02.279
it turns into a big discussion point
they release the wide receiver ratings, and

829
01:13:02.359 --> 01:13:05.760
I have some questions. Now the
top wide receiver, I don't question,

830
01:13:05.840 --> 01:13:13.319
it's justin Jefferson plays for a certain
team from Minnesota. Maybe you've heard of

831
01:13:13.399 --> 01:13:18.119
him. He is. He has
a ninety nine ratings, so damn near

832
01:13:18.199 --> 01:13:24.439
perfect, and he is number one. But I'm looking down the list here,

833
01:13:24.880 --> 01:13:28.640
number two, Tyreek Hill, ninety
eight, ninety seven for Davante Adams,

834
01:13:28.640 --> 01:13:32.520
Stefon Diggs former Vikings player. He
plays somewhere else now, can't remember.

835
01:13:33.319 --> 01:13:36.359
He's at number four, but you
got you go down this list.

836
01:13:38.760 --> 01:13:48.000
I think the second best receiver in
football is A j. Brown for the

837
01:13:48.039 --> 01:13:53.079
Eagles. I think if you had
to rank them, and I'd say they're

838
01:13:53.079 --> 01:13:56.079
all pretty close, it would be
Jefferson Brown and then Diggs. I think

839
01:13:56.119 --> 01:14:00.119
Diggs is actually number three. Some
of it comes down to usage, but

840
01:14:01.279 --> 01:14:03.760
but they have browned down at number
nine, so I don't know what the

841
01:14:03.800 --> 01:14:09.880
hell's going on there. But as
you can imagine, everyone's arguing about that

842
01:14:09.920 --> 01:14:13.520
on the Twitter this morning, so
I thought i'd clear you in. If

843
01:14:13.520 --> 01:14:17.479
that's your the way you want to
waste a little time this morning when you

844
01:14:17.520 --> 01:14:24.359
should be working, go right ahead, But first I have to get to

845
01:14:24.439 --> 01:14:29.720
this. The folks over PolitiFact at
a fact check, and thank god they

846
01:14:29.760 --> 01:14:40.800
did, because this is pretty serious. So here's the here's the fact check.

847
01:14:42.520 --> 01:14:45.239
Is there or isn't there? And
now I won't tell you the results

848
01:14:45.279 --> 01:14:46.920
yet. I want you to tell
me whether you think that there is or

849
01:14:47.159 --> 01:14:53.359
isn't. Okay, so is this
true or not true? And then I'll

850
01:14:53.359 --> 01:15:00.279
tell you what PolitiFact or their research
determined. Is there or isn't there a

851
01:15:00.439 --> 01:15:06.800
demonic portal above the White House?
That is that you can see if you

852
01:15:06.960 --> 01:15:10.760
if you I guess, if you
look look at the right angle or something.

853
01:15:12.239 --> 01:15:17.079
Um. And even in according to
this this article or this this this

854
01:15:17.119 --> 01:15:24.720
post on Facebook, which is what
really drove this. Um, even the

855
01:15:24.800 --> 01:15:29.319
police know about it. I guess
that's the claim that they're fact checking.

856
01:15:29.359 --> 01:15:35.600
All right, So is there or
isn't there a visible demonic portal above the

857
01:15:35.640 --> 01:15:45.000
White House? Ever since the Biden
has moved in? What do you think?

858
01:15:45.079 --> 01:15:49.239
Ross? What do you think demonic
portal? Not a demonic portal visible

859
01:15:49.560 --> 01:15:53.960
above the way? Visible? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I don't know

860
01:15:53.960 --> 01:15:56.479
about that one, but there probably
is one. Yeah, so you think

861
01:15:56.520 --> 01:15:59.880
there might be one, but you
don't think that one could catch it with

862
01:16:00.039 --> 01:16:04.279
the naked eye. Well, luckily
over PolitiFact they were on the case,

863
01:16:05.199 --> 01:16:09.800
and so they did some research.
I guess I'm not sure exactly how you

864
01:16:09.840 --> 01:16:11.920
research this? Do you get some
priests? I mean, what do you

865
01:16:11.960 --> 01:16:21.279
do? According to a recent post, thousands of people have witnessed a demonic

866
01:16:21.319 --> 01:16:27.479
portal above the White House. The
post flagged part as part of Meta's efforts

867
01:16:27.640 --> 01:16:32.880
on Facebook to combat false news.
A nearly fifteen minute video takes a while

868
01:16:32.920 --> 01:16:39.439
to get to the claim in the
caption, eventually the host referring to a

869
01:16:40.880 --> 01:16:43.760
statement Roger Stone. I remember we
played this audio, this is like a

870
01:16:43.840 --> 01:16:48.640
year old where he made some reference
to this, although when I saw it,

871
01:16:48.720 --> 01:16:54.279
I don't know if he was talking
about a literal visible one. I

872
01:16:54.319 --> 01:17:00.199
think it was more an allegory of
policies. But still it was weird.

873
01:17:00.239 --> 01:17:05.279
I remember the audio. It was
weird. But they went to go fact

874
01:17:05.319 --> 01:17:10.279
check whether there is in fact a
demonic portal hovering above the White House,

875
01:17:10.880 --> 01:17:15.880
and you, according to um,
according to the research, there is not.

876
01:17:15.960 --> 01:17:18.399
They were able to determine there is
not. And I don't know how

877
01:17:18.399 --> 01:17:24.640
do you determine there's not? Us
versus there is because they fact checked the

878
01:17:24.640 --> 01:17:28.840
whole, the whole Rigamarow not chose
the visibility part. I guess you could

879
01:17:28.840 --> 01:17:30.039
send your guy there to stare at
this guy and go on, I don't

880
01:17:30.039 --> 01:17:33.279
see nothing. As we know from
a Skinwalker ranch, you have to shoot

881
01:17:33.319 --> 01:17:38.199
tons of rockets up into it.
Yes, it could not, and maybe

882
01:17:38.199 --> 01:17:41.640
not just a demonic portal. It
could be a trans you know, transferable

883
01:17:41.680 --> 01:17:44.760
wormhole, a star to view.
Yes, yes, yes, yes,

884
01:17:44.840 --> 01:17:46.760
no, it's a very good point. Maybe that was the theory we had

885
01:17:46.800 --> 01:17:50.359
for the busted ass motel down the
road, remember where they were doing the

886
01:17:50.800 --> 01:17:55.239
as part of like the military training, and it scared the crap at everybody

887
01:17:55.319 --> 01:18:03.319
on Capitol Boulevard. So how do
you determine, because again you can't.

888
01:18:03.439 --> 01:18:06.680
To Ross's point, I don't know
that you can just Joe blow go start

889
01:18:06.720 --> 01:18:12.239
shooting rockets above the White House without
causing a little bit of a scene.

890
01:18:12.439 --> 01:18:15.319
She drones up into it. Or
yeah, yeah, they don't like that.

891
01:18:15.439 --> 01:18:18.119
They don't like any of that.
And if there is a demonic portal,

892
01:18:19.640 --> 01:18:23.319
they're gonna be extra careful that you're
not over there bugging it, you

893
01:18:23.359 --> 01:18:27.000
know, because you don't want something
to fall out of it well, but

894
01:18:27.079 --> 01:18:30.439
you also don't want to lose your
your your grasp upon the White House,

895
01:18:30.520 --> 01:18:33.239
right because really the reason for that
claim is that demons are now running,

896
01:18:33.319 --> 01:18:36.920
you know, running things, and
they're not gonna want you to jack with

897
01:18:36.960 --> 01:18:42.479
their stuff. If you've never seen
any movie with an exorcism in it,

898
01:18:42.800 --> 01:18:47.239
they don't want to go. They're
perfectly content here with their little little window

899
01:18:47.319 --> 01:18:54.159
into our existence. So they're gonna
use everything in their power, especially no

900
01:18:54.279 --> 01:18:59.880
fly zones. So maybe they're hitting
it with sling shots and then like the

901
01:19:00.720 --> 01:19:03.800
whatever they were slinging didn't disappear.
So I don't know that you can just

902
01:19:04.000 --> 01:19:09.960
come out one hundred percent be like
there's not a demonic portal, but if

903
01:19:10.000 --> 01:19:13.560
you wanted to debunk that's visible,
I guess you could attempt to do that.

904
01:19:14.720 --> 01:19:19.560
So um. They also literally called
the police department. It's so stupid.

905
01:19:19.920 --> 01:19:27.159
They literally called the police department they're
in DC and asked whether the agency

906
01:19:27.239 --> 01:19:31.479
in fact was investigating a demonic portal
above the White House, which I don't

907
01:19:31.520 --> 01:19:40.600
even think that's their purview. But
luckily PolitiFact did the fact check and determine

908
01:19:40.920 --> 01:19:45.479
there's not a demonic portal, So
if like, maybe that was. That

909
01:19:45.640 --> 01:19:49.800
was some you know, some bucket
list travel summer travel plan for you to

910
01:19:49.800 --> 01:19:54.560
take the kids to go see the
demonic portal. Right, do a little

911
01:19:54.640 --> 01:19:59.000
round about, go check out the
Washington Monument, the Lincoln Memorial, the

912
01:19:59.039 --> 01:20:05.279
Demonic Portal, maybe the Vietnam Wall, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.

913
01:20:05.279 --> 01:20:10.359
You're gonna have to scratch that one
off your list, apparently, although if

914
01:20:10.640 --> 01:20:14.560
there was, and it was ever
since Biden was in there. I went

915
01:20:15.439 --> 01:20:18.720
last year during the DC broadcast.
I met a couple of the hosts at

916
01:20:18.760 --> 01:20:24.560
the w Hotel just literally right across
from the White House, and they have

917
01:20:24.600 --> 01:20:28.800
a rooftop restaurant bar there, and
that's where we met. And so you

918
01:20:28.800 --> 01:20:33.600
would almost at that point be eye
level with said demonic portal. And I

919
01:20:33.640 --> 01:20:42.119
did not see one. So there's
that. I but you know, that's

920
01:20:42.159 --> 01:20:45.119
just I'm just one man. And
admittedly it was during the day. Maybe

921
01:20:45.119 --> 01:20:48.119
it's only visible at night. I
don't know how the demonic portals work,

922
01:20:48.439 --> 01:20:53.880
but the folks over polit Effect they
checked it out. No need to worry

923
01:20:53.880 --> 01:21:01.520
about said demonic portal. So I
can't believe Ross didn't recognize it for what

924
01:21:01.560 --> 01:21:06.880
it is. It's obviously an Oblivion
portal. Is that a video game reference?

925
01:21:08.439 --> 01:21:14.720
That's gotta be a video game reference? Thanks for the from Elder Scrolls.

926
01:21:14.800 --> 01:21:17.520
Yeah, oh it's from Elder Scrolls. Okay, all right, so

927
01:21:18.159 --> 01:21:20.560
do you I didn't think you did
Elder Scrolls. Yeah I do not.

928
01:21:21.000 --> 01:21:24.680
Oh, okay, all right,
Yeah he's not into Hobbits and stuff?

929
01:21:24.720 --> 01:21:30.359
Is there Hobbits and yeah? Oh
yeah it from what i've what what I

930
01:21:30.439 --> 01:21:32.039
know about it, not having not
played it, it strikes me as a

931
01:21:32.079 --> 01:21:36.359
hobbity thing. So all right,
So yeah, if you if you want

932
01:21:36.359 --> 01:21:44.039
to go see the DC Demonic Portal, probably probably not gonna happen, According

933
01:21:44.079 --> 01:21:47.199
to PolitiFact, very sad there,
all right eight eight eight nine three four

934
01:21:47.319 --> 01:21:55.000
seven eight seventy four. A recent
survey of millennials on the issue of pronouns

935
01:21:56.720 --> 01:22:03.720
has yielded not an altogether unexpected result, but one that is kind of terrifying.

936
01:22:04.399 --> 01:22:08.560
We'll let you know what about a
half of millennials say, should happen

937
01:22:08.680 --> 01:22:12.359
when you miss gender somebody? We'll
do it next here on the case O

938
01:22:12.479 --> 01:22:17.119
Day radio program show. After the
show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search

939
01:22:17.239 --> 01:22:25.199
case O Day for the podcast on
the iHeartRadio app. All right a twenty

940
01:22:25.199 --> 01:22:32.000
two and Welcome Back Koda Radio program. A recent survey done by Let's see

941
01:22:32.119 --> 01:22:39.760
Newsweek, and I'm not sure whatever
the polling organization was, Redford and Wilton

942
01:22:39.840 --> 01:22:46.880
strategies not familiar, but anyway,
they were trying to determine what the appetite

943
01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:54.039
here in the US is for heat
speech and the penalties that go with it.

944
01:22:54.159 --> 01:22:58.920
So one, they tried to figure
out what is heat speech. They

945
01:22:59.039 --> 01:23:01.560
I guess, really did pay much
attention to the First Amendment. And a

946
01:23:01.560 --> 01:23:08.359
lot of this is based off of
a change in Great Britain where misgendering is

947
01:23:08.399 --> 01:23:12.039
now a crime, and I believe
in Canada they're doing this as well,

948
01:23:12.159 --> 01:23:16.880
or they already did. And so
they ask millennials twenty five to thirty four

949
01:23:17.560 --> 01:23:25.159
do you favor criminal charges for people
who misgender somebody? And forty four percent

950
01:23:25.319 --> 01:23:32.239
say the yes. So forty four
percent of millennials say that there should be

951
01:23:33.319 --> 01:23:44.840
jail time or the potential for jail
time for misgendering somebody, referring to it

952
01:23:44.880 --> 01:23:49.079
as quote an act of violence.
As you look through the various levels of

953
01:23:49.159 --> 01:23:56.000
pulling here, and you know,
one of the things that we've mentioned on

954
01:23:56.000 --> 01:23:59.840
the show from time to time is
if you want to see your future,

955
01:24:00.760 --> 01:24:03.319
look at what the UK is doing
in to some extent Canada, but Canada

956
01:24:03.399 --> 01:24:10.079
is now more prominent. But really, over in the UK, who was

957
01:24:10.439 --> 01:24:15.880
remember the guy who had the I
can't remember his Twitter handle. Remember the

958
01:24:15.920 --> 01:24:18.079
guy who had the pug with the
hil Hitler thing, And that was the

959
01:24:18.119 --> 01:24:21.560
whole thing. He had a pug
that if he said Hail Hitler, it

960
01:24:21.600 --> 01:24:27.640
would raise its little paw. And
who he's on Twitter? I can't remember

961
01:24:27.680 --> 01:24:30.319
his name. He's pretty prominent on
Twitter. But um, you know,

962
01:24:30.359 --> 01:24:32.680
that was a whole That was a
whole, big thing. I actually watched

963
01:24:32.680 --> 01:24:41.680
a documentary on that, which was
I thought pretty well done, and because

964
01:24:41.680 --> 01:24:45.479
they had him and they really had
him going, look I'm doing comedy here,

965
01:24:45.800 --> 01:24:49.359
get over it. And then they
had another dude who runs like the

966
01:24:49.720 --> 01:24:55.600
awoke comedy scene, who couldn't have
come across as a bigger douche. So

967
01:24:55.840 --> 01:24:59.600
did find that fascinating. But yeah, over in the UK, man,

968
01:25:00.119 --> 01:25:05.239
they keep stacking stuff where literally words
are violence. And I have long warned

969
01:25:05.319 --> 01:25:12.239
against this being a mantra, especially
a mantra that is ingrained since a young

970
01:25:12.279 --> 01:25:16.640
age in our modern education system,
especially when you get into college. Words

971
01:25:16.640 --> 01:25:21.800
are violence, right, because you
have to have some justification where either you

972
01:25:21.880 --> 01:25:28.479
can physically respond or you can claim
we're outside of the realm of the First

973
01:25:28.479 --> 01:25:33.720
Amendment now, and they then deserve
some sort of punishment, be a jail,

974
01:25:33.800 --> 01:25:39.239
time finds, whatever it is,
because this is not about free speech.

975
01:25:39.319 --> 01:25:45.319
This is about actual violence words or
violence, which is absurd. In

976
01:25:45.359 --> 01:25:48.399
fact, Senator Ben Cardon from Maryland, who is a lawyer, I know

977
01:25:48.439 --> 01:25:54.039
you're shocked to learn this, recently, was talking about how when you are

978
01:25:54.079 --> 01:25:59.640
expousing hate verbally, you're not protected
under the First Amendment, which is his

979
01:25:59.640 --> 01:26:06.840
opinion and thankfully not one that thus
far is shared by the majority of Americans.

980
01:26:06.880 --> 01:26:11.159
Once you get out of this millennial
group, the younger groups, most

981
01:26:11.199 --> 01:26:17.720
people do not think it warrants jail
or fines. But things change, things

982
01:26:17.840 --> 01:26:23.199
change significantly. At the very least, I think that number would grow if

983
01:26:23.239 --> 01:26:28.039
you just talk about consequences, like
you know, within the cancel culture realm,

984
01:26:29.239 --> 01:26:33.000
oh, this isn't. They're not
being canceled, They're simply it's simply

985
01:26:33.039 --> 01:26:39.159
the consequences of their actions, which, of course, as per usual,

986
01:26:39.239 --> 01:26:45.279
only cuts one way, right,
So you know, then when somebody or

987
01:26:45.319 --> 01:26:48.079
like bud Light, right, you
know, then it's then it's some sort

988
01:26:48.079 --> 01:26:55.680
of grandiose conspiracy rather than quote unquote
the consequences in this case, fiscal consequences.

989
01:26:56.840 --> 01:27:01.079
Even some dictionaries now expouse that hate
speech is speech that is not protected

990
01:27:01.119 --> 01:27:09.640
by the First Amendment, even though
there's no judicial anything for that. Yeah,

991
01:27:09.680 --> 01:27:13.239
here we go. Hate speech is
not protected by the First Amendment because

992
01:27:13.279 --> 01:27:17.039
it is intended to foster hatred against
individuals or groups based on race, religion,

993
01:27:17.119 --> 01:27:24.520
gender, sexual preference, place of
national origin, or other improper classifications.

994
01:27:26.159 --> 01:27:32.960
That's Miriam Webster there. If hate
speech is a constitutionally protected pronoun,

995
01:27:33.079 --> 01:27:39.680
use or misuse is also protected as
a criminal matter. The amount of mental

996
01:27:39.840 --> 01:27:48.319
gymnastics to get to this point is
stunning to me. And actually what's even

997
01:27:48.319 --> 01:27:51.840
more stunning is forty four percent we're
like, yeah, there should be criminal

998
01:27:51.880 --> 01:27:57.520
penalties. Only thirty one percent said
they were against it, and with the

999
01:27:57.600 --> 01:28:02.359
rest saying, you know what,
all consider it And it's that mushy middle

1000
01:28:02.399 --> 01:28:09.680
that gets things done. So that
is absolutely terrifying. All right, Uh,

1001
01:28:09.840 --> 01:28:12.439
near an eight thirty, We got
your news coming up for you,

1002
01:28:12.760 --> 01:28:17.520
and a rather weird ad out of
Ohio. Thank you. Casey is on

1003
01:28:18.760 --> 01:28:24.319
w PTI in the Triad and one
oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.

1004
01:28:27.920 --> 01:28:32.960
All right, good morning, it
is eight thirty five. Oh wow.

1005
01:28:35.720 --> 01:28:43.800
So the Right Cooper fundraiser team.
I'm on the mailing list. It's

1006
01:28:43.920 --> 01:28:48.239
under my secret alias of Michael Hunt. I just go by Mike though.

1007
01:28:48.479 --> 01:28:56.039
Keep it simple. AnyWho, um
our ocean's temperature. This is the one

1008
01:28:56.039 --> 01:29:00.359
of the fundraising emails, and they
send out a crap ton which is weird

1009
01:29:00.359 --> 01:29:08.479
because he's not running for office anymore. UM strange stuff. Our oceans temperatures

1010
01:29:08.479 --> 01:29:11.840
are rising, climate changes to blame. So then they go through all of

1011
01:29:11.880 --> 01:29:15.199
this and how you're gonna melt if
you go in the ocean, but if

1012
01:29:15.239 --> 01:29:25.800
you send him like ten dollars,
apparently it'll fix all that. So oh

1013
01:29:25.840 --> 01:29:29.640
man is there, and it look
he's not alone with the dumb fundraisers.

1014
01:29:29.760 --> 01:29:32.640
I gotta tell you some of the
fundraiser stuff that I'd see from Trump Trump's

1015
01:29:32.640 --> 01:29:36.920
people, it's just it's the most
insulting crap out there, and a lot

1016
01:29:36.920 --> 01:29:41.239
of politicians and it must work.
I don't know, man, but I

1017
01:29:41.319 --> 01:29:44.720
look at some of this stuff and
I'm like, come, on like they

1018
01:29:44.760 --> 01:29:46.479
were. They would send these texts
out. They're like, ah, we

1019
01:29:46.600 --> 01:29:51.359
just uh, Trump just checked the
list and you're not on it, and

1020
01:29:51.439 --> 01:29:55.399
he was asking me what's going on
with that. I love it when they

1021
01:29:55.399 --> 01:29:59.560
have like this this disconnect where Hi, I'm so and so on behalf of

1022
01:29:59.600 --> 01:30:06.199
this per and this candidate and we
want to secretly raise this or it's it's

1023
01:30:06.199 --> 01:30:11.560
a happy birthday donation. Like all
of the machinations that they got to go

1024
01:30:11.600 --> 01:30:15.800
through. It's just so damn insulting, but they send them out and they

1025
01:30:15.840 --> 01:30:18.840
must work. So now, Team
Cooper just sent this email. And the

1026
01:30:18.840 --> 01:30:21.800
oceans are really hot, but if
you send them ten dollars then they won't

1027
01:30:21.840 --> 01:30:25.720
be or something. Actually, you
can send five dollars, ten dollars,

1028
01:30:25.800 --> 01:30:31.600
twenty five or whatever you want to
cool the oceans down. Just get it

1029
01:30:31.640 --> 01:30:36.520
in his hands. I'm sure that's
exactly what it'll go for. Stuff so

1030
01:30:36.560 --> 01:30:41.000
annoying. Man. All right,
I got a question because I've seen a

1031
01:30:41.000 --> 01:30:45.119
lot of have you seen these stories
recently where people are throwing crap at singers

1032
01:30:45.159 --> 01:30:47.359
on stage? Is it? Is
it? I don't know if it's a

1033
01:30:47.399 --> 01:30:51.960
TikTok trend or what's causing it,
but there has been multiple instances and it's

1034
01:30:51.960 --> 01:30:57.880
not like people haven't screwed with singers
before, but it's very specific, and

1035
01:30:57.920 --> 01:31:02.000
there's been like a rash of them
where people are throwing and I don't mean

1036
01:31:02.039 --> 01:31:05.359
they're throwing you know, underwear up
there if you catch you know, like

1037
01:31:05.439 --> 01:31:13.199
the old stereotype there with the crooners. This is like people are throwing heavy

1038
01:31:13.199 --> 01:31:17.560
objects up there and hitting people.
So if I was a performer on stage,

1039
01:31:17.680 --> 01:31:23.199
obviously that is something that would weigh
on my mind and I wouldn't appreciate

1040
01:31:23.239 --> 01:31:26.560
that. And frankly, if you
go to a concert and do that,

1041
01:31:26.560 --> 01:31:29.439
the you should be able to your
fellow concert goers, should you know,

1042
01:31:29.479 --> 01:31:32.079
get about a minute of pumbling you
before security drags you out because you're just

1043
01:31:32.239 --> 01:31:38.119
ruining stuff. That being said,
there are other things that people do at

1044
01:31:38.159 --> 01:31:43.359
concerts which baffles me and is I
find annoying, but I've also accepted as

1045
01:31:43.520 --> 01:31:47.399
just kind of part of the process. Now, like the person who tapes

1046
01:31:47.439 --> 01:31:55.439
the whole concert, why you're never
gonna watch that again? Would here's what

1047
01:31:55.479 --> 01:31:58.359
you're gonna do with it. You're
gonna try to show little blips of it

1048
01:31:58.439 --> 01:32:00.840
to random people at a party.
And they're going to be annoyed by the

1049
01:32:00.880 --> 01:32:04.840
whole thing because they weren't there.
The video footage is going to suck.

1050
01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:09.359
The audio is going to be crap
because it's you know, a thousand decibels,

1051
01:32:10.239 --> 01:32:13.560
so it'll be all limited on your
phone. It's just dumb. And

1052
01:32:13.720 --> 01:32:16.039
what irritates me is because then they
you know, they hold the phone up

1053
01:32:16.039 --> 01:32:19.600
the whole time, thus obscuring your
line of sight. So that's that's annoying.

1054
01:32:20.399 --> 01:32:27.239
However, one other thing that I've
noticed, and I guess I kind

1055
01:32:27.279 --> 01:32:30.399
of get it, is where people, if they're close to the stage,

1056
01:32:30.439 --> 01:32:34.520
they'll do the thing where they turn
their back to the stage and if when

1057
01:32:34.560 --> 01:32:39.640
the artist is in frame, and
then they'll take a picture of themselves as

1058
01:32:39.680 --> 01:32:45.239
selfie with you know whoever singing behind
them to show because you know, everything's

1059
01:32:45.239 --> 01:32:47.319
status so they can post it online
and be like, hey, look where

1060
01:32:47.319 --> 01:32:50.720
I was, and which also means
hey, look how close I was and

1061
01:32:51.000 --> 01:32:56.399
ain't that cool? And then they'll
post some picture. Well, that apparently

1062
01:32:56.439 --> 01:33:04.279
got on the nerves of Miranda Lambert, who literally halted the show to brate

1063
01:33:04.439 --> 01:33:16.439
the people in the front row for
doing that. These guys are worried about

1064
01:33:16.560 --> 01:33:38.119
selfie and not listening a little bit. All right, so then everybody's chairing

1065
01:33:38.119 --> 01:33:42.680
there or whatever. I have a
question, is that really that big of

1066
01:33:42.680 --> 01:33:45.000
a beef? And you know,
when they're taking the selfies in a way,

1067
01:33:45.079 --> 01:33:50.279
they're doing it to focus on you, the singer, and when you're

1068
01:33:50.279 --> 01:33:54.199
in like you know, standing room
only in that big group there, as

1069
01:33:54.239 --> 01:34:00.239
it appears the folks are um,
that's like, I don't even know that

1070
01:34:00.239 --> 01:34:03.680
bugs you as a singer. Is
that? Is that really? Is that

1071
01:34:03.760 --> 01:34:06.960
really the biggest problem? Is that? Or is that just part of going

1072
01:34:06.960 --> 01:34:10.399
to a concert? Now? I
just I kind of accepted as part of

1073
01:34:10.399 --> 01:34:14.239
going to a concert. And I've
seen some artists that that really flipped out.

1074
01:34:14.319 --> 01:34:17.399
I mentioned, you know, working
on some concerts Tory Amos, I

1075
01:34:17.439 --> 01:34:21.640
remember that being one of the weirder
concerts that I worked, because she had

1076
01:34:21.720 --> 01:34:28.000
all of these rules where like,
you couldn't have phones in there, you

1077
01:34:28.039 --> 01:34:36.119
couldn't they couldn't sell um uh cups
plastic cups that could make a crinkling sound.

1078
01:34:38.479 --> 01:34:41.199
So like it turned into a whole
thing with them not being able to

1079
01:34:41.199 --> 01:34:45.680
sell beer at this concert venue because
that's obviously that's what they're doing, and

1080
01:34:45.720 --> 01:34:48.840
they didn't have paper cups, so
she had this whole laundry list of annoyances

1081
01:34:49.640 --> 01:34:55.600
that she wouldn't let pass through.
But at most concerts, I see people

1082
01:34:55.640 --> 01:34:58.319
doing that crap all the time,
and she sitting there to stopping the show

1083
01:34:58.319 --> 01:35:00.520
in the middle of it. I
don't know, I feel like that's kind

1084
01:35:00.520 --> 01:35:04.079
of part of the experience. Or
when you know people go to sporting events,

1085
01:35:04.079 --> 01:35:06.840
they'll do that stuff too, and
I just kind of accept that that's

1086
01:35:06.840 --> 01:35:11.760
a thing. I'm much more annoyed
by the people hold hold their phone up,

1087
01:35:11.880 --> 01:35:15.359
blocking views so that they can tape
a concert and that they're never going

1088
01:35:15.399 --> 01:35:18.800
to go back and look at.
But now she was she would not having

1089
01:35:18.880 --> 01:35:24.840
that man and wanted everyone to know. Now I've seen comedians will do that.

1090
01:35:24.920 --> 01:35:28.880
But it's also kind of a bit
too. In fact, I literally

1091
01:35:28.920 --> 01:35:31.680
one of my buddies was busted on
by George Carlin back in the day because

1092
01:35:31.720 --> 01:35:34.880
he had his phone out and he
wasn't he wasn't even he didn't have it

1093
01:35:35.000 --> 01:35:38.720
up in filming or anything, but
he literally had it out and you could

1094
01:35:38.720 --> 01:35:42.119
see the screen and Carlin made a
little quip because we were sitting like second

1095
01:35:42.239 --> 01:35:45.359
row or something, second or third
row and but you could tell it was

1096
01:35:45.439 --> 01:35:49.119
prepared material for just such a thing. And it was really funny too because

1097
01:35:49.279 --> 01:35:53.720
made my buddy look like a jackass, which he kind of was being because

1098
01:35:53.720 --> 01:35:59.079
he was texting. But whatever,
that's part of the experience. So I

1099
01:35:59.079 --> 01:36:01.079
feel like they are kind of I'm
just taking it all in. But that's

1100
01:36:01.119 --> 01:36:04.680
my two cents. Race agent from
the Weather Channel. He's joining us.

1101
01:36:04.960 --> 01:36:08.680
A big concert goer. You got
to concerts, are you? Kind of?

1102
01:36:08.720 --> 01:36:11.600
Like? Yeah, not so much
anymore. M I do. I

1103
01:36:12.359 --> 01:36:17.319
do enjoy going. It's the price
that doesn't um, that's the thing that's

1104
01:36:17.840 --> 01:36:20.079
yeah. Yeah, and if you
pay, like I don't know what a

1105
01:36:20.159 --> 01:36:24.760
Lambert ticket costs, but I bet
it's not cheap, so I bet it's

1106
01:36:24.800 --> 01:36:27.800
Selfphie is understandable, I guess,
yeah, yeah, And you know,

1107
01:36:27.920 --> 01:36:30.279
people take good money and He'll let
them do what they want to do.

1108
01:36:30.319 --> 01:36:32.520
It just don't throw stuff, right. That's become popular lately. Yeah,

1109
01:36:32.560 --> 01:36:36.439
yeah, just a lot of that. We got. I got a straight

1110
01:36:36.520 --> 01:36:43.000
with a little big town and uh, Louie Nelson and friends and carry Underwood

1111
01:36:43.000 --> 01:36:46.399
actually here in Atlanta October just just
just dished out two hundred ticket for that

1112
01:36:46.560 --> 01:36:49.840
so oh all right, yeah,
you know what it does sound like a

1113
01:36:49.840 --> 01:36:53.600
bad show though, so no it
doesn't. You know, George Straits,

1114
01:36:53.600 --> 01:36:57.800
he's probably in my top three easily
might he was being my favorite of all

1115
01:36:57.840 --> 01:36:59.720
time. And uh, you know, if you can get a guy out

1116
01:36:59.720 --> 01:37:02.239
there, stands there the microphone and
things and the crowd goes crazy, it's

1117
01:37:02.359 --> 01:37:05.520
you know, it's straight. A
couple of times. Yeah, man,

1118
01:37:05.520 --> 01:37:09.279
it's a good, good show.
But also it's yeah because he's got like

1119
01:37:09.479 --> 01:37:14.439
three thousand number one hits, So
yeah, what's great is you're standing next

1120
01:37:14.479 --> 01:37:16.479
to people and the whole thing like, ohs your front property and people would

1121
01:37:16.479 --> 01:37:19.920
be sitting there like, um,
you know, worst thing it along and

1122
01:37:20.000 --> 01:37:23.720
people next to us have no idea
what the works that even songs are.

1123
01:37:24.000 --> 01:37:26.760
You know, a lot of people
go on three weees or corporate tickets and

1124
01:37:27.159 --> 01:37:31.479
yeah, anyway, let's see the
haze and the smoke getting our tension.

1125
01:37:31.600 --> 01:37:35.239
The last couple of days. I
will continue to be the case maybe for

1126
01:37:35.279 --> 01:37:39.159
the next few days or have anything. It's going to kick anything out maybe

1127
01:37:39.239 --> 01:37:43.239
late week and the weekend. Clouds
at sunshine and the hazy sun at most

1128
01:37:43.319 --> 01:37:46.640
are a best today load the middle
nineties. Yesterday had a range of about

1129
01:37:46.680 --> 01:37:49.960
eighty six of the try it to
ninety and Raleigh. So we'll still have

1130
01:37:50.000 --> 01:37:54.920
a range probably ninety to about ninety
four degrees, and we'll head through tonight

1131
01:37:54.960 --> 01:37:57.880
with a slight chant of the shower
thunder shower. Same thing for tomorrow.

1132
01:37:58.000 --> 01:38:01.600
Some isolated showers thunder showers still could
climb little bid nineties, and I don't

1133
01:38:01.600 --> 01:38:04.600
see too much changing as we go
through the week. A couple of days

1134
01:38:04.600 --> 01:38:08.840
and the triangle you may try to
push some mid nineties Thursday, Friday,

1135
01:38:09.239 --> 01:38:12.159
the weekend, Casey, is when
temperatures may come down and we'll get the

1136
01:38:12.159 --> 01:38:15.760
smoke out of your eyes. Okay, all right, we'll hold you to

1137
01:38:15.880 --> 01:38:18.000
it and we'll chat tomorrow, sir, sounds good. All right, We'll

1138
01:38:18.039 --> 01:38:30.880
come back chab with Jeff Bellinger.
Grab your calls next Hang one six one

1139
01:38:30.960 --> 01:38:39.039
FM Talk in the Triangle and news
Talk w PTI in the Tryad. All

1140
01:38:39.079 --> 01:38:43.720
right, good morning, it is
two. You're Bloomberg Update now with Jeff

1141
01:38:43.720 --> 01:38:46.720
Bellinger. Jeff, what's going on
the morning, Casey? A. Wall

1142
01:38:46.720 --> 01:38:51.199
Street started this week with an up
session, had some minor gains yesterday,

1143
01:38:51.279 --> 01:38:56.720
Futures pointing lower this morning. Now, futures are down twenty nine points.

1144
01:38:56.920 --> 01:39:00.920
A Ford Chairs fell nearly six percent. Yesterday, company caught investors off guard

1145
01:39:01.199 --> 01:39:06.119
announcing it was cutting the prices on
its electric F one fifty pickup by as

1146
01:39:06.199 --> 01:39:12.520
much as seventeen percent. There is
some evidence today of a deceleration and consumers

1147
01:39:12.520 --> 01:39:17.439
spending, rising prices and economic uncertainty
maybe finally having an impact on spending.

1148
01:39:17.479 --> 01:39:23.840
The Commerce Department reports retail sales increased
two tenths percent last month. That was

1149
01:39:24.079 --> 01:39:28.640
weaker than expected. Gain. With
auto and gas sales excluded, the increase

1150
01:39:28.760 --> 01:39:33.039
was three tenths percent that was right
in line with forecasts. The chief industry

1151
01:39:33.039 --> 01:39:39.840
officer at the supply chain data company
Project forty four made a sobering assessment about

1152
01:39:39.840 --> 01:39:45.199
a possible strike against United Parcel Service. Mark Dimin says the US would face

1153
01:39:45.359 --> 01:39:50.439
massive disruptions, large economic losses and
declines, and consumer and business confidence if

1154
01:39:50.600 --> 01:39:56.680
UPS workers walk out. Three hundred
forty thousand members of the Teamsters union could

1155
01:39:56.720 --> 01:40:00.319
be on the picket lines two weeks
from today, speak king of job actions.

1156
01:40:00.399 --> 01:40:05.720
Network television programmers have no idea yet
when new shows will be available because

1157
01:40:05.720 --> 01:40:11.079
of the writers and actor strikes.
So they're getting creative with their fall schedules.

1158
01:40:11.159 --> 01:40:15.119
The cable hit Yellowstone will have its
broadcast debut on CBS, starting with

1159
01:40:15.199 --> 01:40:20.840
the first episode that originally ran in
twenty eighteen. Another cable program, FBI

1160
01:40:21.000 --> 01:40:26.640
True will be on the schedule,
and CBS plans more game shows and reality

1161
01:40:26.760 --> 01:40:30.800
programs. And Casey brand can lose
its cachet if everybody can afford it.

1162
01:40:30.840 --> 01:40:34.680
You need to keep your snob appeal. That's apparently the thinking at Ralph Lauren.

1163
01:40:34.760 --> 01:40:40.119
The company has raised the average prices
of its products by eighty percent since

1164
01:40:40.159 --> 01:40:44.840
twenty eighteen. It plans to keep
hiking prices. Ralph Lauren CEO says there's

1165
01:40:44.920 --> 01:40:48.439
no limit as long as the company
continues to elevate its products. Casey,

1166
01:40:48.800 --> 01:40:51.960
Okay, all right, Jeff,
thank you very much, sir. We'll

1167
01:40:53.239 --> 01:40:55.840
chat tomorrow. Okay, sounds good. Have a good day, Take care.

1168
01:40:55.880 --> 01:40:59.119
All right, there you go,
Jeff Balinger from Bloomberg News. Let

1169
01:40:59.119 --> 01:41:01.680
me grab a quick phone call here
and then try to fit in two stories.

1170
01:41:01.800 --> 01:41:05.359
Jim, what's up? Hey,
good morning. I want to come

1171
01:41:05.479 --> 01:41:14.119
in on the Miranda Lambert reaction to
selfie taking goodness gracious. Back in nineteen

1172
01:41:14.199 --> 01:41:17.079
seventy seven, I want to a
mega concert in Philadelphia with one hundred and

1173
01:41:17.159 --> 01:41:23.760
thirty thousand people with Gary Wright to
Peter Frampton and yes, and I think

1174
01:41:23.800 --> 01:41:28.039
I paid fifteen bucks and it was
crazy. It was the best thing I've

1175
01:41:28.039 --> 01:41:32.439
ever seen in person. And you
know, nowadays people are spending the hundreds

1176
01:41:32.439 --> 01:41:36.680
of dollars and I think short of
throwing battery act it on the performers,

1177
01:41:36.680 --> 01:41:40.800
they should be able to do whatever
they want in that crowd. Well,

1178
01:41:40.840 --> 01:41:45.039
I mean, yeah, unless they're
If they're not, and I don't even

1179
01:41:45.079 --> 01:41:48.119
want to say that that's enough disruption. Sometimes people are disrupting the ability of

1180
01:41:48.119 --> 01:41:51.520
other people to see or take part
in the concert. I understand that beef.

1181
01:41:53.560 --> 01:41:56.479
But yeah, if they want to
take a selfie with the artist and

1182
01:41:56.560 --> 01:41:59.720
back, because there up front,
I just kind of expect that's going to

1183
01:41:59.760 --> 01:42:01.399
be part of it, which is
why I don't really like going to concerts

1184
01:42:01.399 --> 01:42:05.239
that much. Well, let's let
the crowds police themselves, and let's security

1185
01:42:05.319 --> 01:42:10.159
take care of the really fun ruly
people and let the do their job.

1186
01:42:10.800 --> 01:42:13.720
Yeah, now I'm with you,
all right, yep, yep, yep,

1187
01:42:13.800 --> 01:42:15.319
thank you for the call. I'll
try to remember the last concert I

1188
01:42:15.399 --> 01:42:21.000
was at I don't even remember.
That's unline. That's when you know you've

1189
01:42:21.000 --> 01:42:25.680
worked in radio too long when you
still have access occasionally to free tickets.

1190
01:42:25.720 --> 01:42:28.399
You're just like they were they were
some of the other day that they sent

1191
01:42:28.479 --> 01:42:31.319
an email around camera was like Matchbox
twenty or something, and I just no

1192
01:42:31.479 --> 01:42:36.680
interest. So and maybe it's because
I was doing it, did music radio

1193
01:42:36.760 --> 01:42:40.279
long time. You had to go
to a bunch of shows and so it's

1194
01:42:40.359 --> 01:42:42.920
kind of it turned into work.
That's what it feels like. Work.

1195
01:42:43.439 --> 01:42:46.039
Yeah, you're like, am I
gonna have to go do something? Even

1196
01:42:46.039 --> 01:42:50.079
though you know, but still it's
just like, ah, this is what

1197
01:42:50.119 --> 01:42:54.920
work was. Yeah, you worked
at g for a music radio for even

1198
01:42:54.920 --> 01:42:57.720
longer than I did. Man did
so many concerts, concerts, and at

1199
01:42:57.720 --> 01:42:59.359
the end, like you said,
it's like I don't even want to go,

1200
01:43:00.039 --> 01:43:03.920
Like if you're invite me now,
I don't want to go now if

1201
01:43:03.960 --> 01:43:10.039
somebody has like a like a luxury
box at something that's completely different, right

1202
01:43:10.079 --> 01:43:13.960
right, right, yeah, yeah, So let's not let's not be universal

1203
01:43:14.000 --> 01:43:16.800
in our in our in our hatred
of that. But so, yeah,

1204
01:43:16.880 --> 01:43:19.680
you got luxury boxes to something you
want to send an invite? I think

1205
01:43:19.880 --> 01:43:23.279
I think the last concert I went
to where it was like, hey,

1206
01:43:23.319 --> 01:43:25.600
I want to go to that where
it wasn't work. I think it was

1207
01:43:25.640 --> 01:43:30.720
like Cypress Hill in like two thousand
and five, two thousand and four.

1208
01:43:31.800 --> 01:43:35.079
I honestly, I'm racking my I
can't remember the last concert I went to.

1209
01:43:36.560 --> 01:43:41.119
I remember where it was though,
and I can't remember who they act,

1210
01:43:41.159 --> 01:43:47.119
but it was at the Ritz.
I don't remember now, but yeah,

1211
01:43:47.159 --> 01:43:49.600
and I remember even like, ah, this fields like work, even

1212
01:43:49.640 --> 01:43:54.039
though I had there was zero work
going on there. Check this out though.

1213
01:43:54.359 --> 01:43:59.079
Um so they continue to make busts
in this human body parts thing.

1214
01:43:59.199 --> 01:44:01.159
Remember the guys Bugshot who was stealing
this stuff. You're like, yeah,

1215
01:44:01.199 --> 01:44:04.199
that looks like a dude who sells
body parts. Well, a man in

1216
01:44:04.279 --> 01:44:10.119
Kentucky was had his home rated by
the FBI the other day. James not

1217
01:44:10.439 --> 01:44:16.840
taken into custody. Police say his
entire home was decorated with human remains like

1218
01:44:17.359 --> 01:44:20.439
he went. He went, like
to the point of making furniture out of

1219
01:44:20.479 --> 01:44:24.640
it and stuff, which if you
remember, was a hallmark of a certain

1220
01:44:24.680 --> 01:44:31.439
serial killer. According to police,
they discovered dozens of remains, forty skulls,

1221
01:44:31.880 --> 01:44:38.880
spinal cords, femurs and hip bones, including a skull that he slept

1222
01:44:38.920 --> 01:44:45.439
with like a teddy bear. Yeah. Yeah, it's all sorts of creepy

1223
01:44:45.520 --> 01:44:49.319
here. The other remains had been
utilized as either decoration or as part of

1224
01:44:51.079 --> 01:44:56.880
various adornments within his home. I
don't even know what that means. Yeah,

1225
01:44:56.880 --> 01:44:59.520
I mean that's like a gene stuff. Yeah, it's ed gean stuff

1226
01:44:59.560 --> 01:45:02.359
with the lampshades and stuff. But
how do you select which of the skulls

1227
01:45:02.439 --> 01:45:04.640
is your teddy bear skull? That's
what I want to know, man.

1228
01:45:04.960 --> 01:45:09.640
He so he was arrested on that, and then also there was guns and

1229
01:45:09.680 --> 01:45:12.760
he was a felon, so he's
got a felon in possession of charges.

1230
01:45:12.840 --> 01:45:19.840
Butraziness, absolute insanity, man.
And yeah, it looks like you do

1231
01:45:19.880 --> 01:45:23.920
to sleeps with the skull. So
you know, if we're generalizing here,

1232
01:45:23.960 --> 01:45:24.760
I'm just saying
