Us. Good morning everybody. It is six h seven here on the case
O Day Radio program, Thursday edition. Uh, let's see phone number eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven fours. We did things rolling this
morning. Um, apparently some he won the powerball and it wasn't you unless
you are somebody who streams of e the iHeartRadio app from the state of California
because that's where it was sold. So UM, better luck next time.
You know, we talked about this yesterday because inevitably they were doing all of
them, the stupid stories the media likes to trot out anytime the jackpot gets
really high or they get some dude done there and he's you know, he's
he's a financial expert or a planning expert, and he just wants to let
you know, if you win, you gotta take it slow. You don't
want to go crazy. And I think that's one horrible advice because dude's never
a billionaire who's being interviewed, so what does he know. And two,
you're killing the possibility for awesome stories for me, So go crazy, absolutely
Nutso man, I want I want there to be a I want there to
be like a Johnny Manzille style story in the first few days, which I
don't know if you saw the man Zille story this week, they said,
um, one of the last purges of his his money that he got back
in was it twenty twelve, twenty thirteen, right, was he went on
a five million dollar bender. I mean, I guess feasibly I could see
how you could go on a five million dollar bender, But I feel like
that would take some effort ross back in the day, back in uh In,
in the the partiest of party days. Do you think you could blow
through five million in a week out of your mind? Nah? And then
then I did some damage that that'd be like Brewsters Millions. They should do
like a reboot. I'm just kidding. They really shouldn't be like a reboot
of Brewsters Millions. Instead of ending the money, you've got to, you
know, go on some sort of expend it on drugs or something. I
don't know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, he went buck wol.
I mean, that's like, that's more than Chris Farley in his last
days five million bucks five million over the course of what was the time,
I gotta call it up. I think it wasn't that long. It was
a week or something. Wow, I mean, I bet it was fun.
Do you think. I don't know if Hunter Biden could go on a
five million dollar week Onling Bender and that dude likes to party. I know.
I saw some pictures yesterday, dude at large retailer. Look, I
I've made no bones on the show that I find her. A lot of
times I find her annoying, and it's not necessarily on the political side.
I just I'm not one of these people likes the stunts and she's a big
fan. Like when she had the big balloon she was walking around the Capitol
with the day of the last State of the Union, She's like, I'm
gonna bring it in there. I just I think it's all so dumb all
around. However, I can't help but be amused at, especially after all
of the committee stunts and crap and everything that we've witnessed over the last administration,
watching her give everybody in the Capital on the other side of the aisle
a case of the vapors and just go an apoplectic yesterday, like they're a
bunch of grown adults who never pull this stuff. Because she had one of
those she had a little evidence board with some slightly edited photos of Hunter Biden
all up on a prostitute. Right, what's this? Boston Paul is at
five million in US dot? Why are you volunteering to try it out?
You're sitting on a small fortune. And if you are, I wonder where
that fortune may have come from. If you catch him adrift? Got a
little Southie money squirreled away, do you? Little winter Hill, little winter
Hill cash? Yes, I believe it was five million US to answer your
question. So any who where was Oh? Yes, Marjorie Taylor Green yesterday.
So she's sitting in there, she got herself a poster board, she's
got photos, and they're not like first democrats start to go, oh,
well, that's evidence photos. Those are photos not in public circulation. And
I immediately recognize those photos because they're the same ones that you see you to
see intermittently posted to social media. So contrary to the way it's being positioned.
Uh, And we'll get to the hypocrisy here in a moment, she
gets to the end of her her time and she gives like a little content
trigger warning. She's like, the next part may not be suitable for all
audiences, and then proceeds to pull this posterboard up, and Jamie Raskin loses
his damn mind of Hunter Biden from making spects to excuse me, this is
my time making pornography. Should we be displaying this, mister Sherman, The
committee ladies times expired, and with two and a half minutes over wants the
two and a half minutes, He can have it if if he wants to
yield some to missile Coatio Quartez when she goes right, oh yeah, an
ango season. Oh just just kill me with all of it. I admittedly
I didn't watch the whole hearing, but obviously, um, knowing that we're
gonna have the whistleblowers and stuff, I went back and looked at various parts
of it. We'll get to that. But yeah, they were. They
were not pleased about that, the irony, of course being and let me
just get out, let me get the hot take out of the way,
okay, The irony of course being that arguably those pictures, because they didn't
actually show any nether regions, are less vulgar than some of the artwork that
we've seen in some of the books that parents are talking about not wanting their
kids to essentially be instructed in when they're at school. So with that in
mind, all of a sudden it turned into the same hot take on there.
You know, these are the people that are the they claim to be
the party of family, and they just willy nilly throw these photos up and
think of all the kids who were watching who you know? And and one
it leads out to two points one. She did give a warning about three
points two. Nothing was new. They're all are readily accessible, and arguably
the more vulgar versions are readily accessible by a simple trip to the internet.
And three. Whose kids are sitting around watching c SPAN at two thirty yesterday?
Is that is that some kids do nowadays? Because I don't. I
got a hard time believe in that. You're young UN's as you know,
many of them are out of school. I guess are deciding to spend their
one of their summer days sitting around watching c SPAN. Is that something the
kids usually do now? Is that the hip thing? I figured they're all
around making dumb tiktoks and stuff. We're playing video games. But maybe I'm
wrong. Maybe all the kids that's what they do. They got you know
what, I'm gonna watch me some c SPAN this afternoon. That'll be a
fun use in my time. So yeah, everything, everything was just dumb.
And so that was the showy part of it. The more the more
important part was this guy. I've recently discovered that people are saying that I
must be more credible because I'm a Democrat who happens to be married to a
man. I'm no more credible than this man sitting next to me due to
my actually due to my sexual orientation or my political beliefs. The truth is,
my credibility comes today from my job, experience with the IRS, and
my intimate knowledge of the agency's standard and procedures. I was raised and I've
always strived to do what is right. Although I do have my supporters,
others have said that I am a traitor to the Democratic Party and that I'm
causing more division in our society. I implore you to consider that if you
were in my position, with the facts as I have stated them, ask
yourself if you would be doing the exa same thing. I hope that I
am an example to other LGBTQ people out there who are questioning doing the right
thing at the potential costs themselves and others, so that guy's name is Joseph
Ziegler, and he has for the last thirteen years been a special agent with
the IRS, his Criminal Investigative Division, and he, along with his immediate
supervisor, a guy by the name of Gary Shapeley, testified that was part
of his rather lengthy opening statement, but basically testifying to what they say was
a deviation at the very least, and perhaps much more than that by officials
in the upperrational hunt of the Justice Department in IRS too essentially bestow special treatment
on Hunter Biden and to some extent his father because one of these idiot democrats
forgot the first rule. Who happens to be a lawyer? By the way,
Congressman olman Um forgot the the you know, the first rule of lawyering,
don't ask a question of the answer to and uh elicited an on the
record answer from this guy who um that seems to tie Joe Biden to attempting
to exert influence within this case and is now going to, as you can
imagine, as the Republicans are going to be a dog with a bone on
this stuff. Now. It was, it was not a good day,
and and it like devolved into some of the members of the committee spending their
time talking about inherent racism, does rambling on with their time, and people
trying to sit there and say that these two guys are a bunch of big,
fat liars and that they're politically motivated, and the guy's like, I'm
a gay Democrat, Mary do another dude? So what what it was?
It was bonkers And then of course you had the photoboard there and so I'm
sorry all of your kids sitting around watching c SPAN yesterday were subjected to that.
That must be awful for you. But again, it's Washington, man.
Now what will come of it? Who the heck knows? Who knows.
There's been many instances obviously where you've seen Republicans failed to fully play their
hand. I guess to be the polite way to put it, but we
shall see. So that's, you know, on the national front, that
was the big story yesterday. However, locally, depending on where you were
in North Carolina, it was it was pretty hard to concentrate on. That
is, we had some pretty brutal weather move through and this tornado in Nash
County, this e F three. If you look at the path of destruction,
it's just amazing that nobody was killed. I think, what are we
at this morning? I was just looking at they say eighty nine they suspect
eighty nine injuries and no, excuse me, eighty nine structures, sixteen injuries.
I mean, make sure I get that number exactly right. Yeah,
after past sixteen people injure between Nash and Edgecombe Counties and eighty nine structures damage
including a big fiser facility, which turned into a battle of the comments or
the community notes section on Twitter because I saw this tweet and they mentioned that
that particular facility has a bunch of COVID vaccine in it, and then people
got really really upset over a simple statement like that and decided that they wanted
to point out that it has more than COVID vaccine in it. People are
applying, it's just COVID vaccine in there, and it's like, you know,
this is all so dumb. Nobody implied that that was all that was
in there. But basically it's a facility that has uh, you know,
IV and or injection related medicines, so yes, vaccines and a variety of
other things. I'm not sure the totality of what was in there, but
the pictures are crazy where that went through. And then of course everyone started
to insert all their own Act of God jokes once they figured out nobody was
killed there and um, you know karma this, and you know, really
what you would expect. So uh yeah, it was a it was a
crazy day. Yes, I'm just glad your kids were all safe sitting at
home watching c SPAN out of the weather. So good news there. Uh.
Ross, you're in this business. When's the last time you turn c
SPAN on at your house? Oh? Man, I can't, I can't
remember that. Really, you don't sit around with the fam watching the c
SPAN every time a decade? Yeah, I mean occasionally, that's right,
Like if there's some big speech and it's not on the networks, I might
go check that out, or if it's a House or Senate hearing. Although
the networks they didn't seem to want any part of the uh the hearings yesterday
very much, so a lot of people kind of forced to go to the
c SPAN, which is so weird because they made all that time for you
know, everything else. All right, six twenty two hang on one oh
six one f M Talk and nine four five w PTI two stations driving the
best in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All
right, good morning six twenty seven. See then, and then this is
a prime example of what I witnessed yesterday. Um all right, here we
go. It's a prime example. But I witnessed yesterday. Um so people
were posting obviously about the Marjorie Taylor Green with the photos and all that,
and then either elected officials or just people responding on social media would be like,
you know, the cud the congresswoman broke the law and needs to be
held accountable. What a disgrace. Now you can think it's disgraceful and all
of that that she decided to pull those pull those out. I don't know
that anyone who's excited that she did it was also unaware of those photos.
That being said, every person I've seen then go oh, which law did
she break? It has no answer for that. Or there's this kind of
roundabout made up thing about secret evidence, even though everyone knows that that evidence
isn't secret. So but we'll continue to slog through all of it. Coming
up. Hang on, This is one oh six one FM Talk in the
Triangle and News Talk n WPTI in the triad oh Man. Yeah, all
right, welcome back six thirty five. So I just love the Twitter.
Dude. You know full well what Democrat chained to do is you know,
they need to get a poster board with aka Trump photos. You don't like
that, I'm sorry. Are there photos of Avonka Trump um and hookers?
Is that a thing that exists? Ross? Would you? Would you?
Would you? Did you get that a quick look? Sure? Let me
check, No, I don't. I mean there's probably some creepy dudes ai
creations or cutting paste. We're just because the internet's the Internet and there's a
lot of freaks out there, and you know, Ivanka Trump's a pretty good
looking woman. So I'm sure some perv just to you know, because that's
like the thing on the internet. Now. I'm sure somewhere that exists.
But I also don't think that, um, I don't think. I don't
think anyone would think they're real. So I don't. I don't know what
this person's referencing. I'll tell you where. It was really crazy yesterday?
Did you see the fat Elon must get fact checked yesterday over over a tweet,
a tweet that he sent out and then his sister confirmed, which I
thought it was pretty funny. All right, So Elon Musk, some guy
so so, some guy tweeted out, I don't even know what the reference
was. The average person breaks wind seventeen times a day, and Elon Musk,
is as he's known to do, will randomly just he'll just he'll pop
in and and add a comment, and he this is what he wrote.
He wrote, I can fart hard enough to inflate a car tire. All
right, before I get into the rest of it. Does anyone honestly think
that Elon Musk seriously believes that he can pass gas enough to inflate, you
know, a thirty PSI standard road tire. Are we talking like with Elon
Musk with like a Tony Stark type device attached between him and the tire or
just no whatever, No, it can't be real. I mean he really
tweeted it, but so yeah, So some humorless void of a human being
decided that they needed to fact check. Was it was it Neil de grasse
Tyson, It was not. It was it was not. It was not
Neil de Gray. It was funny because actually the first response is from Tosca
Muscus, I don't know if that's how I pronounce name is sister, and
Jesus wrote, I can't confirm, and maybe that's what set him off.
So yes, here we go. So a lot of people, um,
a lot of people were just like, dah, you guys are just you
know, you're just a horrible, horrible people and it's just you know,
it's just some joke. But then it got serious as somebody attached a fact
check in the form of a community note with a with their their research,
the average human intestines would rupture at four psi. Therefore, Elon is clearly
overstating his abilities. He had again, so they decided that somebody needed,
somebody needed to dispel this lie that Elon must put out on the Twitter yesterday
claiming that he could inflate a standard card tire just because he ate some chili
that day, because if that was true, he would explode first. So
which is yeah, I guess is good information. And by the way,
if somebody just put that up at a humorous manner'd be one thing. But
this person is serious. This individual's one hundred percent serious. He just wants
you to know that of all the things Elon Musk can do, this is
not, and it's more along the lines of his lying, bragging nature.
So this is where we are. I'm a little concerned by the sheer volume
of people if you look at the comments, who were convinced that they could
do it. So you know, there may be some horrific discoveries today,
Like like that dude, the one victim from in the movie seven, I
guess I don't know. Didn't that wasn't that the deal? Well, they
put him in a closed room and then they killed him with his own gas,
right, I haven't seen the movie seven in a while. I don't
remember that part. I remember there was a guy that like they made him
eat himself to death, which was cluttony, right, So maybe there was
some gas involved. Maybe, Yeah, maybe there was that guy too.
I just remember there being a scene where they're talking about how they had sealed
the air in there or something. So maybe it was that dude, the
combination of things. Look, let's be honest, because and I'm not gonna
deep dive this discussion. Obviously, Elon Musk is joking about that. However,
some people are gassier than others. How many of you have ever ran
yourself out of a room right, Okay, those are the kinds of folks.
I guess the fact checkers were concerned might be sitting there with a with
a funnel tape to the end of a hose attached to a car tire today
and eight you don't. I didn't want anything horrible to happen to him,
But what a just a bunch of humorless babies. Man. I thought it
was funny as hell. But you know, I'm obviously very childish sometimes.
So what device were you referring to? Hey the way, No, I'm
not Elon Musk and I'm not Tony Stark. I'm saying they could probably invent
something so you feel that starts somewhere in that suit could build essentially the ability
to capture the gases, compress him and then use him at a higher psi
than the h could be flying around the space like Mark Watney at the end
of the Martian. So where he where? Watney literally says, I'm iron
man, correct us a call back to what you're alleging. Now, Okay,
yeah, probably, I mean he did go to space. Hell,
he went to went through a wormhole, So I mean it's perfectly feasible,
all right? Eight eight eight nine, three, four, seven, eight
seventy four. I love American man. Speaking of inventions, you come up
with a bright idea and overnight, overnight, you can find yourself elevated to
the upper echelon of wealth and fame. You know. Um, look at
Jeff bezos Man. The guy's got a follow yacht, but to follow his
regular yacht that's longer than a football field or three excuse me, three football
fields. Right, And that dude was just some broke dude in Seattle selling
books on a crappy website, right, and he was able to parlay that.
Or people who've come up with with inventions and technology that have fundamentally changed
society, like this guy, Lawrence Harge, who recently found himself entering into
a contract with the government up in Washington, DC. That's right, You
got to start there. And if his invention, which is a small box
that would be installed in the parking enforcement vehicles for the city of DC,
which are electric vehicles, which would allow them to double the range of the
electric vehicles. This is holy grail stuff in the world of evs. By
the way, one of the biggest problems that people still associate with the EVS
is the the complexity that it takes to plan a trip that's more than just
you know, your daily commute, and the technology, especially when you get
into it in many of these vehicles, especially in like the Tesla vehicles,
they've you know, it's so computerized and they have to have such a fundamental
working knowledge of where all of these charging stations are, and especially Elon's charging
stations are considered the best because they're the fastest. But literally if you put
a route in, like let's say you want to drive from Raleigh. Let's
say I wanted to Let's say I was in a Tesla and I want to
drive from Raleigh to my hometown of Wyoming, it would be really difficult to
do that, especially as you get out into more sparsely populated areas. Finding
these charging stations is not easy. In many instances. Even if you find
them, they may not be functioning or you won't have availability, and that
just puts the kibosh on your travel for that period of time. So when
you put in a route into a Tesla or many other evs, it then
incorporates known locations for these charging stations and also builds it into your estimated travel
time So if I was to plot that trip, or even just a trip,
let's say I wanted to drive to Miami. If I wanted to plot
that trip all along I ninety five, they would show where I would have
to stop and exactly where on the map I'd have to go to charge.
And then there's still the amount of time it takes to charge, which depending
on the charging station, can literally be ours. And so that has that
has been a big objection in getting people to adopt EV If you drive a
lot just because it's a pain in the behind, and don't even get me
started driving out there in Wyoming and Montana and Utah and parts of Idaho,
and I saw it happen in real time on Twitch. My buddy, a
streamer buddy was going from California back home to Maryland and it is Tesla,
Yeah, and he had to drive through all of the barren western Rocky Mountain
and when he got to like Nevada and like like Utah, they hadn't put
it in and it was like it was taking them all over the place,
all over the place. So it adds a lot of time. So they
the ability to get more and more battery life is is what these companies have
to overcome. So this guy claims to have just invented a way to double
the range, and he's just some random dude. All of the best minds
in in automotive industry, in Tesla and Ford and Nissan and you name it
that that sell electric vehicles is what they are working on. This is what
will set them apart. This is what will sell more vehicles. So the
fact that just some rando dude tinkered a box together in his garage and was
able to achieve this is pretty amazing. Actually, self described inventor Lawrence Harge
claims this box he invented. You won't provide any pictures or diagrams, but
we found this on his website will double the range of DC parking enforcement electric
vehicles by doing what he calls rejuvenating the battery. All right, all right,
well look, maybe he doesn't want to put plans because you know,
China will steal it in like two seconds, probably already have. That's a
guy just protecting his invention there, So what's your problem? Knows he reporter
guy that he doesn't want to put, you know, all the design on
the internet. Maybe he wants to make money off it. Where are you
going with this? Continue? He took those claims of the electrical engineering labs
at the University of Maryland, n an electric vehicle be rejuvenated. There's not
technologies that I'm aware of that can really boost that same battery pack to significantly
more than two hundred mile range. Why not? There's a variety of limitations
just from basic chemical theory. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
This guy just sounds but hurt. He didn't invent it, huh, I
mean, obviously it must exist? Or why house would the government of Washington
DC enter into a contract to pay this due to buttload of money? Right?
You would think you would think that they want to make sure it was
legit. Right. DC government awarded a contract this February with Harge's company.
The contract says it will cost fourteen thousand dollars per vehicle to install his modules
and three thousand dollars per vehicle for data monitoring. That's a total of six
hundred eighty thousand taxpayer dollars. A spokesperson with DC's Department of Public Works rights,
we have been investigating new technology that would extend their life, make us
work more efficiently, and keep our maintenance expenses down we learn about the ev
Technologies modules when the company made a presentation during the twenty twenty two Washington Auto
Show. Oh look at that, dude. They have a power point and
everything, and yeah, it's it's not a crap ton of money, but
it's a smart business model because if you want to sell, you want to
have multiple streams, and one of those nowadays, that's you that all these
companies are. They really want our subscription models. It's why basically, remember
when Microsoft used to just sell word and now you get the three sixty five,
so every year they can pick your pocket. Well, that's what this
guy's got, and he's got a power point and obviously he has a strong
background in long history of being at the forefront at the cutting edge of battery
technology, which allowed him to take that knowledge and parlay it into his own
invention. That sounds like it's gonna make him, you know, a billionaire
one day. So kudos to this guy and his scientific historical knowledge. It
took us just a few hours to find out more about the man DC government
is doing business with using taxpayer dollars. Court documents show Lawrence hard To was
sentenced to twenty six years in prison for felony conviction in two thousand and one.
Oh well, you know they're really good at building stuff in prison.
You ever watch any of the lock up shows, Like they'd build a tattoo
gun with the you know, with some trash they found. So okay,
all right, what do you what do you get now? He was found
guilty of selling unregistered securities from his home state of Mississippi. Hart served five
years prison and tried to expunge or wipe his criminal record. In twenty twenty
one, A Mississippi judge rescinded Hargest temporary felony expungement March twenty twenty two.
That came after a judge's order shows allegations surface that Harts used business investors money
to repay the people he defrauded. In two thousand and one, we asked
your government whether it knew that Mississippi court records consider Hard a convicted felon before
it signed a contract with him. It responded July seventh that it wasn't aware
of that until the day we inform them, and that it would actively investigate
the situation. I'm beginning to think that this reporter thinks that this guy might
be full of crap just because the you know, the technology doesn't exist,
isn't I mean, but it's a fancy box. I mean it's hooked that
up to the car. Bro it rejuvenates the battery. I mean, if
you hooked it up to yourself and we're rejuven eight year Oh I just got
community noticed. Harde declined to show us his ev module, saying in a
text to us, my technology speaks for itself. He added, I would
love to answer your questions. However, I have been placed under a strict
non disclosure agreement. I can't discuss anything regarding DC and yet on June nineteenth,
Harge posted this on Facebook, answering investors calling for more tests of his
eed battery module. No, I did not do the tests. I have
no intentions of doing any tests. Life goals on Oh, I love it.
They gave this guy buddy oh Man. All right, I'm gonna head
to buy workshop. We'll take a break, be right back your day smarter
one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk five WPTI more with case starts
now. Attery rejuvenator. Guy who doesn't want to do any tests, show
you any plans but somehow got himself buck nice little contract with the DC government
there in America. Great man oh Man Gillamore on that and two Hours to
Go Cacoda radio program an eight trillion dollars. However, rather than you inventing
a device that allows you to open a portal and travel instantaneously from one point
of the universe to the other, it looks like you just tape the two
microphones from the production studio to read to each other. Ross claims to have
invented portal travel during the last commercial break. It just looks like you took
the two microphones and wrapped a bunch of electrical tape around him. Like,
get will you demo it? At least like maybe just travel from your studio
to my studio or something. I mean, if you want a trillion dollars,
that's what it's going to take, just saying, because if not,
it looks like you just take the microphones together. What happened to your poop
lazer? I thought you were going to invent that. That's been what eight
years you've been promising that. Ross is doing some guy or tinker in this
morning. So yeah, yeah, yeah, So people are theorizing this this
idiot and DC what's in the box. It's either a battery or gasoline.
So that's just crazy man. But hey, he got paid, so there
you go. There is a special rejuvenator box. Ah. Anyway, what
is it? Oh? One of our listeners came up with an island stabilizer
for the US military to use on Guam. Well that's good, sir.
Those military contracts are quite lucrative. So did you You never got ross?
You never go on Facebook? Do you? Very much? I'd say occasionally
you post. It's very rare. I think they have it intentionally a long
time ago. Yeah, I'm not as spent a lot of time in there.
I did post yesterday that I had invented new tech to quadruple EV battery
life. And then just US dollar signs where all the s's are just stupid
joke. And my first comments from this chick who says, I'm really much
impressed about your handsome profile and your outstanding personalities. I also admire your good
sense of humor on here. Sorry sorry I don't normally write in the comments
section, but send friend request is okay with you? Thanks? Stay safe?
Awesome, And then I went to her profile it's just a bunch of
photos of her with her chess basically exposed. There's like three of them,
so that sounds legit. And also her friends and her locations are in Nigeria,
so it sounds like she's an international traveler who doesn't like shirts very much.
But immediately she sees that I'm about to be a trillionaire with this thing
and is trying to get on that train. So I'm wise to Lisa,
I see what's up with that? So yeah, women coming out the woodwork
there, all right, So check this out. The Moore County Board of
Education has removed the vice chair from that position and his committee positions after derogatory
remarks directed towards a colleague. So while they can't unelect the guy, they
can basically make it so other than anderd votes, he's got nothing to do,
and that's what they did. This comes after a remark he reportedly made
in a I guess a radio interview. It doesn't even say this is this
is such ril crap. So he was on the radio and he said this,
and then they just choose not to have identify what the radio was.
But he was doing an interview and he's got beef with the chairman of the
board. There a guy by the name of Robert Levy or Levi, and
he referred to Hensley, referred to Levy's behavior as um, let's see here,
it would be very clear what he said. Hensley called Levy a Nazi
for the way he handles the board's agenda. So obviously there's some ideological beef
there. But yeah, so Ril runs On does a big story on this.
The board votes to remove him his vice chair. He says he's not
going anywhere. And you know, Levy is Jewish, I guess, so
by referring to him as a Nazi, obviously this guy needs to go.
And I saw the Pitchfork Brigade responding to this yesterday, and I just think
that there's a certain amount of irony, a certain amount of irony when this
is the very same news outlet who literally referred to the Lieutenant governor as a
clan member. Right you realize you referred to the lieutenant governor as a member
of the KKK, the black lieutenant governor, And yet that was fine.
And here the outrage is that somebody use this pejorative where they don't actually mean
a Nazi. Obviously, he's referring to this you know, my way or
the highway top down, you know exactly what's going on. He's not implying
that the board chair is literally trying to bring about the Fourth Reich. And
now you're seizing upon this guy's Jewish heritage as the you know, the speed
bump here that should have this guy resigning his position and just going away.
And so you're you're wanting to highlight that when every single tweet that I see
or a statement that I see now, rather than just sayingly, yesterday I
saw Roy Cooper tweeted something out and rather than just saying that he disagrees with
the Republican budget agenda. Now, the Democrat thing is to put the word
extreme in front of any time or maga or various versions thereof extreme maga in
front of any time they use the word Republican. And when you use the
word extreme, you're I don't think that you're implying that there is extremists in
the sense of Islamic extremists. However, it carries that same connotation if you
want to go in a very literal sense, Obviously you're trying to make your
opponent look out of touch. Obviously, this guy is trying to communicate that
he thinks the board chair to which he is vice chair is a totalitarian in
the way that he does things he's not. I don't get the impression he's
implying that the dude's an actual Nazi. But I just think it's really rich
to sit here and see this analysis, in this outrage, in the form
of having to do this lengthy story when you're the very same outlet that referred
to the black Lieutenant governor as a clan member, because it sounds like exactly
what you're accusing him of, and arguably I feel like you probably meant it
more than Nazi, just because there's you know, there's more clan members and
there are Nazis currently in the US. I suspect oh Hensley called Levia Nazi
for the way he handles the board agenda quote. The name calling was something
that was not pleasant, But I think we need to get beyond that,
Levi said. Now, I was looking at some of the comments. I
don't know anything about either of these guys, and I don't know how Levi
runs aboard. I don't know Hensley's how he conducts himself. Any of the
rest of it because don't care. However, in seeing some of the responses
from people within the community there who were pointing out various beefs and TIFFs and
back and force and statements that Levi's made and Hensley's made previously, it sounds
like they hate each other, and it sounds like if it sounds like Levy
is aggressive in the way that he does things kind of a my way or
the highway. Now, again, those are anecdotes from various citizens. I
don't know and I don't care, but I will point out the base hypocrisy
of somebody labeling a black lieutenant governor the first black lieutenant governor is an actual
clan member in having any moral high ground to have beef with this, Hensley
maintains his board see, but now he is a board member with no leadership
roles, committees and support from his colleagues. Hensley said he has no comment
on the board's decision, saying I'm not going anywhere. Yeah, don't talk
to ral Man. That's my advice to every politician that just don't talk to
him, don't give him any access. Let him be the echo chamber,
echo chamber of moon Battery and obviously a bunch of big fat hypocrites there.
All right, Speaking of things politicians need to remember, let me offer another
piece of advice for all of you political folk. Don't don't post social media
or pictures or even campaign ads with you doing you know, domestic stuff and
about foods. Okay, there's no win here for you. You look stupid
and disingenuous with your aprons that still have the fold marks in it, standing
next to a gas grill where it's clear that nothing is being cooked in there,
looking at you, cal excuse me, Jody Cunningham, orm who was
it? Was it? Elizabeth Warren? There was a few during the last
cycle that I that had these stupid like, oh, I'm in my kitchen,
you know, just cooking like a normal person with my brand new apron,
and it all looks dumb. All right. Don't get into pizza to
be just. If you're gonna make some stupid video, some cringey video,
at least make it about policy. Case in point, yesterday, Mitt Romney
wants you to know what a regular duty is. So he's walking through the
halls of the Senate Office building there holding a hot dog in celebration of national
hot dog day, which is covered in ketchup. So you got a hot
dog on a bun, you know, you know, your standard man's food
on a bun, perfectly perfect swirl pattern on the ketchup on top, which
I don't know if you know. There are some people that feel very strongly
about putting ketchup on a hot dog. And now it's not okay. In
fact, that hot dog joint that's um that's got the hot Wieners sign in
Raleigh. I don't know why the name of it just escaped me. I
go in there and challenge you to find some ketchup. They feel very strongly
about that. But also, does anyone believe that Mitt Romney gets home from
a hard day at work, goes over to his fridge, which I'm sure
is a fantastic fridge by the way, and pulls himself out some couple of
Oscar Myers. Definitely, you really think that's binders full of wieners. But
what no, oh, no, sounds like what Marjorie Taylor Greenhead yesterday.
So you think that Mitt Romney goes home, opens up his fridge. He's
too you know, he's like too hot. The only thing in there's two
hot dogs and some busted old ketchup gets himself a little pot of water or
whatever, boils up a couple of hot dogs or nukes him or whatever,
eats his poor people dinner, and then goes to bed in his studio apartment.
You think problems like one of the street vendor New York City boy.
Yeah, yes, he literally kids. He's literally holding the dude hostage,
just has him in, you know, in his ballroom or something. Right
with his cart this saveth you know, with the with the umbrella and everything.
The guy's never allowed to sleep. He's got to always be on call.
It's just it's so cringey. Just don't do it. The only person,
the only person that I honestly believes eats you know, poor people food,
US food kind of stuff, you know, normal people food. I
believe that Donald Trump does eat that because there was too many instances of it,
right him with the KFC on the plane, him with the catering that
he did for them, remember the Clemson Football Championships. He's all fast food.
It was amazing. I honestly believe he does eat that stuff. I
also believe that he also eats all of the stuff that you could get at
Marlago's Restaurant for one hundred dollars of plate on the appetizer menu. But like,
I'm willing to believe that few. But I don't believe for a moment
that Mitt Romney's running around eating bachelor food on the regular, and then he
goes and puts ketchup on it and of course marginalizes half of the South,
because Homie don't play that well. As you all know, today is National
hot Dog Day, and perhaps you also know that hot dog is my favorite
meat. I love hot dogs, I love buns. I love him outside
of buns, I don't know with baked beans. I just like hot dogs.
It's the best ross baked beans. Did you hear that? There is?
Without question? So to all of you who like me, are celebrating
National hot Dog Day, congratulations to you, and may there be many many
more hot dogs served in our wonderful land. All right, So a couple
other things too. What he's also somehow, he's somehow acquired a busted,
old, raggedy looking hat that just has a hot dog on it, which
I'm sure is probably the hat he wears every day. You know all around
I said, love making hat. That's so you just just that and nothing
else, all right? I want you Sometimes when he's feeling really frisky,
turns it backwards. Well he's got you know, he's got. He loves
the hot dogs outs in the bun outside the button. What does it?
What does that mean? All right? So, um, let's I got
a little betting pool ross. How many seconds from the moment the video stopped
recording before? You think that he literally violently threw that hot dog to get
the poor people meet away from him? He didn't think Andy Sandberg did just
threw it on the ground. I think that. I think he waved it
off like he just stuck his hand in fire ants and then and it made
an intern come over and remove the hat from his head. Shut up,
dude, Oh you people are just unbearable. Seven twenty three. Hang on
the show. After the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search Casey O
Day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. So, if you go back
to mark of twenty twenty one, all of the NFT insanity was going on.
I remember how long I tried to mentally avoid it, but it was,
you know, it was too much in the news that I actually had
to try to figure out what the hell it was. And then when I
did, I realized that this this, this sounds dumb, but I will
admit a lot of you guys send emails and stuff and you're like, oh,
this is amazing because I and I understand the sentiment when you get into
cryptocurrency and NFT from a philosophical standpoint, I understand why people would crave a
means of currency that is not manipulated by governments, Like I get that.
Plus um, you know, the ability to essentially move eventually into a cashless
society, a digital society where everything that you do would be immediately available to
people who would abuse. And they would tell you, well, look,
we have restrictions that we can't you know, we can't look at it.
But you see how they abused the five suc court. You see how they
abused what was it, three hundred thousand times, basically peaking at stuff.
I remember learning about unmasking under the Obama administration, like, you don't trust
any of these cats. That being said, one of the highest selling NFTs
ever back when everything was going bonkers, was a digital Obviously it's all digital,
but the NFT of the first tweet or one of the first tweets sent
out by the founder of Twitter back in two thousand and six, Jack,
and the tweet reads, just setting up my Twitter, right, so this
is you know, which is historical obviously with on the platform. Well that
sold at the time for two point nine million dollars. Well it's it's up
for sale again on there's still NFT auction sites out there. So this sold,
right, this investment sold for two point nine million dollars in March of
twenty excuse me, in m March of twenty twenty one, and an investor
bought it for, like I said, nearly three million dollars ross. What
do you think it's currently worth? I mean three million dollar investment. It's
only had about you know, two a little over two years to percolate.
But you know the reason you make investments so you can flip it later.
So after initially being sold for two point nine million, what do you think
the current value is probably declined? Right because the market isn't the same as
it used to be. That's fair, that's fair, yes, yeah,
so yeah, I just probably take a little bit of a haircut. So
what do you what do you think, uh, for two point nine million
two years and a few months later, what do you think it's like five
bucks dollar fourteen? Man, I'm sure sorry I missed that boat. Uh
did you ever? Do you think you ever fully understood what a's were either.
I I posted about it on Twitter a while ago. I said,
I'm so thankful that I was too stupid to understand what this was, because
that stupidity turned out to be intelligence. Right, yeah, yeah, oh
yeah, yeah, hindsight's twenty twenty. But even that, you could feel
that vibe even back then. Man, I mean the whole thing had like
a had like a tulips feel a little bit. You know what it was
for me too, is you would see these new financial gurus that all had
like video you know, YouTube casts, and then their videos would like end
up a lot of times in spammy little ads on social media, and every
single one of these dudes who all thought that they had to act like Jim
Kramer, they all looked insane, right, they all looked like I would
assumer hustling me. And don't get me wrong, there's a lot of that
in the traditional financial world where I get creepy Crawley's. But like every one
of these dudes man like I said, it had like tulip like beanie baby
vibes. Now, because I think beanie babies still have some inherent value,
right, I think they still some of those actually sell for a budge and
look pumping dump within a lot of this stuff was going on, especially with
social media influencers. They all had their old cryptocurrency. How like a crap
ton of them are not in jail for what was a classic boiler room thing
is beyond me. So didn't you start your own cryptocurrency? Oh? No,
you you had the Twitter competitor, that's right with the squirrels, right,
that was your thing. Yeah, that's where us talk. Right,
what's that? What's the value of that company worth? Now? We're still
we're still looking over you know, we're still doing some things. You know,
we're still expanding into the into the world. There are you? Yeah?
I want to just close the financials, give your competitors and end.
That's where you send me a dollar, yes, and then I send you
a hundred post post it notes and a hundred squirrels, right, and you
write your note onto the on the post it note attached it to the squirrel
and send it out to the world. Right, that's right to an individual
just out into the world, right correct, where we'll finds your message,
finds your message. That's great. Man, I can't put man, I
can't believe you're not retired in the Cayman Islands already. H Look at the
way Mitt Romney's holding that hot dog too. Wait, he fundamentally can't even
hold a hot dog properly. I was just I just want to rewatch the
video during the break there of him with his stupid hot dog hat and his
poor people meat like he's saying it's his favorite meat. Come on, dude,
I'm a fan, right, but like, would you even say it's
top five? Um? Yeah, no, if I had to put a
list yet. Look, I like it, but I'm particular. I like
the hot dog. I like a bit of char on it on the grill.
I'm not a big fan of like boiled hot dog to do it.
Yeah, I want, I want there to be some grizzle on the outside
and uh and I'm I'm I'm super down with it. This thing that Mitt
Romney's like, he doesn't even know how to hold the damn thing. And
I'm sorry, I don't think an eight year old would utter a hot Dog's
my favorite meat, and they really like hot dogs. So one more time
with the audio. Well, as you all know, today is National hot
Dog Day, and perhaps you also know that hot dog is my favorite meat.
I love hot dogs. I love them and buns. I love them
outside of buns. I love them with baked beans. I just like hot
dogs. It's the best, you know, mess meat there is, without
question. So all of you who like me are celebrating National hot Dog Day.
Uh, congratulations to you. May there be many many more hot dogs
served in our wonderful land. As he throws it begone demon videos over.
Oh everything is stupid man. All right, let's get to the phones.
Janet, thanks for hanging on. What's up? Problem? So, I'm
really surprised to hear you say you thought there were more of Plan members than
um Nazis because we bought some of the worst Nazis they were here and gave
them jobs. Mecha the thirties or forties, right, you're talking about,
yes, post World War two, where we essentially forgave them and brought them
over here. Yes, right right, But you know that didn't tags who
they were, the fact that we forgave them. Um. But they're all
dead. So yes, they had families and they've all been over here breeding
for like eighty plus years hungry. Does that make their offspring Nazis? I
mean, I'm well, I mean, with that logic, I got a
bunch of slaveholders and former slaves listening, right, so, and we reduc
that purpose of reparation. So, don't get me wrong, there's still some
people. Um, I don't know if you ever saw the travel video where
the dude went down and was interviewing some of these German enclaves down and like
Argentina and whatnot, and they kind of like kind of like got into the
inner workings and some of these folks are really still into their relatives ideology.
It was really creepy. So but I don't know. But then I but
with the with the clan members, I'm just I'm just hell, I'm just
thinking of, you know, the former Democratic members of Congress in my lifetime,
right right. But honestly, I thought the clan was about ned.
I thought white supremacist even out numbering them. Now oh hell no, all
right, within the sound of my voice is the one of the big big
clan leaders here still real? Yeah, yeah, yeah, right, here
in North Carolina. Camera it's up by eating or something. Okay, I
thought I'm about not out. I guess I was wrong. I ain't just
saying very much of mondam Land. No. Well look, because you know
people are like, yeah, you got politicians running around like there's a half
million of these cats busting around the South. But the reality is the numbers
are not that, but there's still people who absolutely are. So are you
gret all right? Jack? Shoot the call there, Thank you very much.
And then Donna, real quick, what's up? Good morning? Two
things my mother wanted to tell you that Romney putting ketchup on his hotdog was
a thumbs up to John Kerry because he's the hunt he married behind. Yeah
noms John carry and uh, I think the only hot dog mittens like the
kindy ties to his car on vacation. I see what you did there.
I forgot about that fun right there. Well come on, man, it's
if somebody didn't catch him doing it. He hadn't driven all the way to
Cannas all like that, right, But it wasn't as egregious as what happened
in Lampoon's vacation. So this is true. And don't take your man out.
It's my understanding. You wouldn't put a dog up on there. But
that's how you transport cats, right, Oh not me. You want to
try to transport cat like that? Ah yeah, you stick in their carrier.
They love going in their carriers. Yeah, it'd be real happy when
you take him out. All right, thanks, It looks like they have
a lion Maine. Don't do that, by the way, to your cat.
So uh anyways, seven forty six race Agic from the Weather Channel here.
Oh, we got into a hot dog discussion. You see Mitt Rom
you know hot dogs my favorite meat. Shuts your face, it's not you
don't eat four people for no on man. No. But then Ross surmise
that actually he had kidnapped one of those New York hot dog carts and just
has it in the west wing of his mansion or something, which yeah,
yeah, yeah, yeah, you put in the party room. So delicious.
All right, so we got the are the more serious? Now we
gotta get into this um. Obviously, what happened to Moore County in parts
of Edgecombe County. The fact that nobody is killed in this is amazing.
And how about first ever e F three tornado observed in central North Carolina in
the month of July, with estimated winds and one and fifty miles between seconds.
I believe it's the second. I don't want to have three. Yeah,
according the e F three tornado mark the second e F three tornado in
July in the state of North Carolina and recorded history is what the local news
here is reporting. Now, I don't trust the lot of the local news
guys here, so you may be right, well, I don't know if
the Weather Service is being specific to central North Carolina. And then the news
is saying, well, yeah, the entire state. Maybe that's figure out
where the other one was, but go ahead right up here. Yeah,
so unusual event U Nash County into Edgecomb County. The Weather Service saying the
start time at about twelve twenty five, ending at about twelve fifty eight.
And you know, damage are luckily no fatalities, luckily no severe weather today
as we will see clouds increase a low nineties, I feel close to one
hundred. We'll have a round of showers and cutter showers tonight and that we'll
heat it up tomorrow into the little bit nineties. May feel like one hundred
next chance of showers and butter storms in here, probably on Sunday afternoon.
Let's stay warm and humid, but back down a little bit. By Sunday
at the try It and West may actually stay in the mid the upper eighties.
As a triangle, we'll probably could close to ninety or above, so
you know, a little bit of a break. I don't think we'll have
any more severe weather, but hot, humid here over the next couple of
days. If there is a shower chance today during the daylight hours, probably
out toward the mountains and maybe into the western parts of the try It.
All right, So I tried to figure out what she's referring to, and
then it turns into this long diet tribe about the former Fujita scale, and
now I don't care anymore. So time in nineteen eighty eight, under the
old Fujita scale, it was an e F four, but it would be
an EF three today and I don't know, so what the heck? But
that also in Nash County, by the way, So yeah, why don't
we just go with strong tornadoes to EF three D F four strength don't happen
at often? Yeah, all right, all right, sir, thank you,
very much. We'll talk in an hour, seven forty nine here on
the case DA Radio program. Now everyone's we didn't we just have a where
to get hot dogs discussion not that long ago on the show. Yeah,
oh, in the name of the place that was the Roast Grill. I
couldn't remember that earlier and I eating there quite a bit so, especially back
in the day. But yeah, I remember the ketchup thing like, don't
ask for ketchup. I'm not really a ketchup guy on the hot dogs,
but I know a lot of people are, So all right, seven fifty
we'll be back, hang on. Thank you. Casey is one four five
PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
Alright, seven fifty five here on the ca c O Day radio program.
And um yeah, yeah, this is among my favorite week of the year
based on this schedule and everything that goes along with it. As the British
Open is going on, excuse me, the Open. They don't like it
when you say the British Open, and coverage starts at like four in the
morning, so it's just on throughout the show. So if I do sound
distracted, well more distracted than usual, that's what's up. So lamp Ricks
in the lead right now just from what South Africa and then Stuart Saints in
second as the highest rank to American. There. We're playing at Royal Liverpool
anyway, so yeah, that's the thing going on, so check this out.
In addition to the Open, today also marks the beginning of the Women's
World Cup and already here we go again females. This CNN, by the
way, female soccer players earned twenty five cents to the dollar of men at
World Cup. A new CNN analysis finds every flip and time with this soccer
players at the twenty twenty three Women's World Cup will earn just twenty five cents
for every dollar earned by men at their World Cup last year. But it's
an improvement. This year, FIFA announced that forty nine million of the record
one hundred and ten million dollars in prize money would be split directly to all
individual players, roughly thirty thousand each for participating. However, if you're on
the winning squad, your bonus and there's a range of bonuses based on how
deep you get into this. You'll get two hundred and seventy thousand and per
player. But then they pull out the info graphics and they show that the
men's World Cup last year had a total prize money of four hundred and forty
million to the one hundred and ten million that the women are getting. Huh,
I wonder why that is. Well, CNN also wondered and decided it's
about discrimination and that they're working towards equality within the sport. Again, there
is a very clear correlation as to why the prize money is what the prize
money is, because the prize money is based on the revenue derived. Okay,
and yes, obviously in when it comes to World Cup, one of
the teams that has been the most dominant US Woman's World Cup team is still
even though it is in the largest sports entertainment financial market in the world,
still most people don't watch it, and therefore brands don't advertise to the extent
they do with the men where most of the revenues derived from other countries.
But I'm just a broken record at this point. All right, good morning
everybody. It is eight o seven here on the Case Here Day radio program.
What a decision? What a decision? People? Having a mate today?
You're gonna watch the British open or the Women's World Cup. Boy,
oh boy, it's a toughie. Ross. I'm assuming you'll drag another TV
into the living room, line them both up so you can watch both.
Right, I gotta go British Open. Ah, you're gonna go British Open.
Boston Paul is sending me email over some camera check. I haven't said,
I didn't see what you're talking about, Boston Paul. If you want
to call the show and explain your your pervy email, we can do that.
Is there's some smoke show camera check following them around, Maybe it's on
the Twitter. I'll go look on the Twitter. So, yeah, we
got that going on CNN also doing their Yeah, all the Women's World Cup
players don't get as much as the men. And you know, I'll never
get into the economics, but look, most of the analysis you see is
patently dishonest when it comes to these cats. Case in point, I was
reading this yesterday. The headline from CNN structural racism may contribute to mass shooting.
Study says, all right, let's let's quickly understand that the what is
a mass shooting? Obviously ebbs and flows with whoever is using it, but
most often a mass shooting is simply a shooting where multiple people are either wounded
or killed. Okay, and sometimes the numbers two in some studies so that
they can job the numbers up. I think four is more the standard.
Some require that somebody be killed, so it ebbs and flows. CNN,
though, likes to juice the numbers right so they can they run articles like
in February, there's already been three hundred mass shootings. But the va majority
of what qualifies under that definition as a mass shooting is not you know,
Vivaldi or the Christian school in Nashville, or the grocery store up there in
Buffalo, New York. The vast, vast, vast majority of those are
you know, the more traditional ones that you see in in in where somebody
goes in and they indiscriminately fire at a group of people that they have some
beef with, or there's a gang element or whatever it may be, and
enough people are struck that it then qualifies. So that is the vast majority.
So when you get into the high crime areas of the US and major
cities, that is where overwhelmingly they're taking place, most likely to take place
with a handgun rifles account for very few of them, even though they get
all the discussion, and you know that's obviously that's not what gets most of
the coverage. However, CNN wants to dive into the numbers. So let's
see if they do so in an honest manner along with researchers at Tulane University.
Here we go. Mass shootings in major metro areas of the US disproportionately
affect black people. That's right. When it comes to a mass shooting,
you from a when you weigh it out per hundred thousand, if you are
if you are a person of color, you are more likely to be the
victim of a mass shooting under this definition. So what might the data yield
for why that may be? Obviously one of the things that it should yield,
and they kind of skirt around, is that because these are these are
crimes that are generally associated with the criminal and or gang behavior, they are
going to disproportionately affect socioeconomically challenged areas and you're going to have a higher percentage
on that per one hundred thousand basis of black individuals who live in those areas.
That's not that's not new that's not new information. Okay. However,
the reason behind the shootings here um CNN gets well, they get a lot
more, they don't get as specific, and it allows you to try to,
you know, create your own adventure, create your own narrative because they
say that the main reason is structural racism. Really, so you think the
largest driving force in why there are so many black shooting victims under this definition
of mass shootings is societal structural racism. I'll know about that. The research
covered mass shootings between twenty fifteen and twenty nineteen and showed the population area most
impacted with a record. Let's see here, how many shootings did they claim
took play eight hundred and sixty five, by the way, which accounted for
eight hundred and twenty eight fatalities in nearly four thousand injuries. Chicago had the
greatest number of mass shootings during that period, with one hundred and forty one
leading to ninety seven deaths. Again, they're not accounting for individual where one
individual kills another individual. However, they've decided that the totality of circumstances that
have led to this is structural, inherent societal racism, and they fail to
get into what I think is a component that should be discussed in here,
and it's not the victims. It's the other side of the gun, okay,
because for whatever reason, you're left with this conclusion that a bunch of
a bunch of innocent black citizens are at risk for some rando to come into
their neighborhood and start shooting at them, which you know, frankly, we're
all at risk for that, regardless of race and where we live. But
you're going to have more concentration in areas that are you know, more economically
challenged. And that's because individuals, and it's not necessarily in most cases,
from outside the neighborhood find that this is the surest road to acquiring money,
right, This is this is the lifestyle. And there's also you know,
we can get into the cultural stuff there. But the fact remains that when
you break it down on a when you break it down using FBI crime statistics,
which are you allowed to post those on Twitter? Now, the reality
is the overwhelming majority on a per one hundred thousand basis all right, So
if you extrapulate population percentage and then crime commission, it's overwhelmingly black assailant shooting
black victims, and it's a huge problem. So to sit here and decide
that you got to write a whole article which leaves open this possibility that a
bunch of white dudes are rolling through black neighborhoods indiscriminately shooting instead of because again
you're you're pegging this all on inherent white privilege and societal racism instead of really
getting down to it where some you know, some little kid can't get in
his mom's suv to go get a flipping snow cone because some piece of crap
and Durham can't tell two SUVs apart, and then fires indiscriminately into it,
and you want to make it this big racial thing when in reality, the
majority of these cases, especially in Chicago, it's almost overwhelming majority. I
think it's like eighty seven percent or something. Um are is black on black
crime. And yes, don't get me wrong, I understand why you'd want
to get into why, you know, economics and then therefore economics that are
you know, the researchers claim or the result of inherent structural racism, and
you want to act like that's the only thing going on here, that where
these assailants were who you don't even identify were somehow driven there purely because as
society is all inherently racist, and not because we have huge cultural issues,
crime issues, and specifically idiot politicians here. You really want to get into
it, idiot politicians who allow this stuff to fester and never really become addressed
because that's the woke thing to do. You're just going to continue the cycle.
There's zero suggestions of solutions here. There is only this carefully crafted study
where they only stare at one side of of the spreadsheet so that they can
get another thing in saying this is all white people's fault, and it's just
so lazy. And it's not just lazy because it's attacking you know, evil
Christian cis, white males or whoever is the most hated there. It's lazy,
and it's lazy because it doesn't do anything to improve the situation. So
when people go, well, you know, why are why is there not
people in their addressing black on black crime in South Chicago, The reality is
there is there are people that are working on it. They're not even discussed.
They're talked about in this article, but more so they're they're not given
the high profile of people like David Hogg running around right. You need that,
You need that coverage. You need people to see that there are individuals
willing to go into these neighborhoods in South Chicago, in Baltimore, in what
other cities are they highlighting here Milwaukee right where they talk about how it has
the highest segregation index. You need to see that there are individuals going in
there and trying to make a difference, and you need to see politicians that
are willing to do it. And you need to create and vironment where even
the citizens within these communities who many times are fearful and rightfully so, of
helping to improve their own neighborhood because they don't want to live in a crap
hole and they don't want to live where where they're eight year olds getting shot
because he wanted a snow cone, or they're going to fire bullets into the
Old Ladies House because she talked to the police. They need to know that
there are enough people are that are working to push back on this, and
that requires a certain amount of media coverage that is lacking. Instead, you
get CNN looking in here going it's it's really bad, and it's really bad
because structural racism, and so we got to go ahead and fix that rather
than going, hey, you know what, enough people are fed up with
this crap, and so through a variety of initiatives and individuals, there will
be numbers enough for us to say this is not going to be permitted in
our society and we will do whatever you need to do to do this.
And people are inspired by other individuals who are willing to put their ass on
the line to go do this. But this, this whole story, this
whole piece of crap, journalist here, journalism here literally just makes the argument
that what really is needed there is they just needs to be uh, you
know, needs to be a bunch of money shoveled into into the into the
neighborhood there in schools, and if you just spend enough money, everything will
change. And the fact remains that that's simply not the case, because there's
a lot more going on here. But first and foremost, you need to
turn the tide of individuals who feel empowered enough to do something about it.
And because that is a tale as old as time in this world, where
the people have had enough and the people that are making their lives a living
hell of eventually there is enough camaraderie that people rise up and expel their persecutors,
and whether it is kicking the British out of here a few hundred years
ago because screw them, or people who have literally turned around neighborhoods and have
turned around crime problems and communities because they decided to get tough, because they
decided that enough is enough, that they decided that they're not going to commute
sentences so they look good right before an election, and then a flipping serial
killer runs around and murders for women. Looking at you, State of Oregon.
Enough people have to reject it, and they need to feel that they
have enough people around them to do it. So I don't blame the people
in these communities who are just trying to get by, and I don't blame
the people that are in a financial position where they're not able to simply go
live somewhere else. Necessarily, I blame individuals who want to sit here like
this. Do analysis not come even close to what some of the main problems
are, and once again blaming on a boogeyman, because it sends the message
that individuals who would go and make these neighborhoods and areas of living hell for
the citizens. They can't help themselves, They have no other choice. What
are they supposed to do? All right? Eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. And there's so many examples of this, whether it
is broken windows policy in New York, the renovation of Times Square at the
time where New York, unlike cities nowadays, said we're not going to sit
here and take this city center portion and just turn it over to criminality.
We're gonna start doing something. And you saw a precipitous drop in people running
around and committing these violent crimes. You can look at Old West history,
man, these lawless towns out there where the citizens banded together and said enough
and what they and one of the things that they would do is they'd say
enough and then they would go out and they would employ sworn marshals and other
law enforcement to literally come to the community and clean that crap up. I
could give you a hundred examples, but you get the gist. Yes,
Bill, what's up, oh sir? He was talking about the British open
Somewhere I read hello, yeah, go ahead, okay. Somewhere I read
that many years ago, Keith Moon wanted to play the British Open, but
he was denying access because it was I think it was by virtue or the
Queen or something. So as a prank he flew over the course and dropped
literally thousands of pink ball balls. I had not read that, but I
don't know. You know, he liked to party. I think it was
in his biography, ye that you like the party, so I could see
that happen. And all right, Bill, thanks for the cult Sorr.
I'm just up against the clark, all right, Boston Paul. I got
about a minute. What are you staring? Okay, what's your deal?
See now direct TV they have the the The Open simulcast of five stations,
you know. And yeah, and they got a camera crew following Steep and
Day and sitz Gerald or whatever his name is six bat Yeah, and uh
yeah, this chick looks like she uh she she could be going to Trader
Joe's on a Monday morning, you know what I mean? All right,
that's by the way, that's creepy, Boston Paul, code for smoke show.
So he so. Uh. And another thing, how to get your
ev to Wyoming. You take a little trail and you hook it onto your
back of EV and you carry about a hundred gallons of diesel. What a
generator that way? You don't have to stop? Yeah, hey, don't.
Yeah man, I used to have a truck with one of those big
eighty gallon tanks back there, so I know the drill Boston, Paul,
I got to go to break. I'm sorry, man, I'll let you
get back to um. Making everyone feel uncomfortable, We'll be back. Hang
on everyone, smart talk all day nine four five PTI in the Triad and
one oh six one FM talk in the Triangle. Oh no, we got
some very sad news, very sad news. Get my sad music here.
Well, nope, that's not it. Hold one, that is wildly inappropriate.
Right there, here we go. It's um. It's not going well
for Harry and Megan had some struggles, really victims of poor timing. According
to this story, Yes, the couple says that unfortunately the timing of their
departure from their official royal duties to America. All right, hold on,
I can't let me usee right now. They gotta get all this stuff in.
They say that circumstances beyond their control to put a wrench in their post
royal career. After losing their twenty million dollars Spotify contract, the couple have
been forced to fall back. This next sentence is gonna make you angry.
The couple have been forced to fall back on their one hundred million dollars Netflix
agreement to create shows and other content with the streaming service. Except I think
that they're not. And it's like the same problem they ran into a Spotify
But they say it's not their fault, they're just really unlucky. The couple
believes COVID nineteen, economic downturns and the ill health and subsequent deaths of both
Prince Philip and Queen Elizabeth hampered their attempts to build careers in the private sector.
Do you think that's what it was or do you think it's because they're
immensely unlikable and judging by what the Spotify guy was saying, incredibly lazy,
Like maybe there's a certain entitlement mentality going on here and I can't imagine what
that would have been bred from. Also, they're currently rumored to be on
the rocks, though one of their spokespeople denies that. Let me ask you
a question. Let's say and as much as I find these two incredibly irritable,
I'm almost happier when they're together. So they can't pollute other as segments
of society. But let's say that they did fall apart, right and there's
kids involved, and I just I don't root for that, But let's say
it did. What do you think? Do you think at some point Harry
goes, what the hell have I done? Because I don't know that people
necessarily had a negative opinion of him. He was just you know, the
younger brother whatever. But everything that we've seen come out since then, the
dude just annoys me. But remember he relinquished his title. During the queen's
funeral, they had a gathering which included world leaders and members of the royal
family, and they were uninvited from it because they decided only working royals could
go. But you know, he cashed us all in, said I'm done
with this, burned. A bunch of Bridges wrote that book was also running
around claiming that members of the royal family, two of which who have subsequently
died, were a bunch of racists right over what color Megan Markle's baby would
be. All of this garbage just burning Bridges left and right. So let's
say it does fall apart. He's on his own and now he's just him.
He's not even part of this quote unquote power couple. There'd be a
lot less interest. I don't know, if one hundred million dollars checks are
still coming in and he's given up his royal title, do you think it
just hits him like a ton of bricks one day if that was to come
to pass. And I wonder if they'd even take them back. They probably
would. I mean, hell, they let Prince Andrew keep working, so
standing the bar's not high man, But it's just crazy. Now why am
I pointing this out? Because there's this other story, and this contributes to
the unlikability in my opinion. According to the New York Post, Prince Harry
and Megan Markle made a request to hit hitch a ride back to America following
the Queen's funeral on Air Force one. So they called up their Biden buddies
and was like, hey, man, can we get a ride home on
Air Force one? To their credit, the White House said no, but
they think it was more having to do with They thought it would strain relations
with the new king. But man, that is some audacity there that is
crazy. You just call, hey, can I hit your ride on Air
Force one. Of course, the Biden's traveled over for the I was that
all the way back in September. Holy cow, time flies, man.
But yeah, now they're just very unlucky, just bad. You know it's
out, which you know is just a hallmark of not being able to take
responsibility for any of your actions. But I digress. All right, this
story is so weird, man, Are you following this? Um? This
Carly Russell story. So. Carly Russell, twenty five year old nursing student
from Alabama who went missing for forty eight hours before returning home this weekend,
claims she had been abducted and held captive and the story's crazy. She claims
she was taken after she was driving down down the interstate or a highway or
saying, she's driving on the road and she sees a toddler on the side
of the road, so she stops her vehicle to get out, and it
was at that point she was abducted. Couple couple folks in a semitruck snatched
her up. Well. At a press conference yesterday, the police in Hoover,
Alabama, revealed that Russell had a rather interesting had their interesting search history
on the old Google. Again, how do you people not know that all
this stuff, all the stuff you search, it's right there. How many
cases have we heard where people are at that guy who was married to the
real estate agent who disappeared, right, remember his searches where like one of
the searches, according to authorities, was how do you dispose of one hundred
and thirty two pound body or something? Which is what his wife wade.
According to police, searches included amber alerts, movie, the movie Film or
the film Taken, and many many other rather odd searches, including how to
take money from a register without being caught? One way bus tickets from Birmingham
to Nashville, several searches on the movie Taken. Also, do you have
to pay for an amber alert? What are there people under the impression that
the government charges for amber alerts. Authorities also revealed that Russell took a dark
bathrobe, a roll of toilet paper, and other items from her place of
work hours before she vanished, stopped at a Target store, purchased granola bars
and other snacks after picking up takeout food, and then they revealed when they
arrived on the scene following Russell's nine on one call, the items from work
and target were missing, though her takeout food was still in the vehicle,
So there. I guess they're implying that she was holed up and that was
her supplies. I don't know. The department emphasized that Russell's drove six hundred
yards on the interstate while allegedly following the toddlers she spotted on the side of
the road. Just craziness. Man, all right, let's get ray staging
from the weather channels. See what he's up to. Right now? Do
do? And yesterday, obviously you have three tornado Um, thankfully nobody killed.
I'm hearing from people down at that Fizer plant that, UM, there
is some concern and this is unverified, but there's some concerning It would make
sense about some of the items that may have been you know, sprayed about
when the tornado went through, and what that might include up to it,
including some very restricted pharmaceuticals. So I could imagine that's a security nightmare.
So what's up. Yeah, probably, UM, we don't see anything like
that coming in the short term, and over the next few days they'll be
no changes hearing ray here. Oh that's great dude. About all right now,
I'm not hearing We're having all sorts of weird ray connection issues, so
that's just great. Um Ross, can you confirm if you can hear ray
because I can't hear him on my callback here? All right, great,
well, let me do this. It is a forty five. We'll take
a break, be right back and hold on. No rays calling in right
now, so let's go ahead and do that. All right, Let's try
it on the phone here. Can you hear me? Now? Yeah?
What's up? My man? Go right ahead. I didn't know if we're
going the other way or whatever, but you know, yeah, you know.
Unfortunately, sixteen injuries and damage and a rare stronger tornado. Yes three,
Now, we don't see anything like that over the next few days.
There are some showers and thunderstorms with a heavy rainfall now coming over the Appalachians
and into western North Carolina. Flash floor of warning right now for Severe County
in Tennessee and now getting into Madison and Hayward County. Some of that heavy
rain should continue to weekend, but the tryhead may get clipped this afternoon through
midday in this afternoon with some showers maybe but a thundershower. I don't think
it's until tonight. We see a better chance coming across from west to east
end triangle, so hot, humid, with increasing clouds west to east today,
maybe some showers leader showers from the triad. Most get into the low
nineties and it's going to feel close to one hundred. Chance of a few
showers and butter storms tonight, no severe weather expected. It could be some
downpours and spots, and there lots of sunshine around Tomorrow, hot and humid,
a little bit nineties of feel like one hundred and upper eighties. Saturday,
we actually get a boundary through the trust that octemperatures down a bit with
a light north breeze, so it shouldn't be humid, and maybe some afternoon
showers and letter storms on Sunday. Next week looks like later in the week
midwek we'll probably start to get back into the nineties, so we do get
a little bit of a break from the ninety plus that's going to be in
here today tomorrow, and even as we get into you know, tomorrow night,
it will stay warm and humid, but by Saturday, but feel a
little bit of a change in that air mass. All right, thank you,
sir, appreciate it, and we'll chat tomorrow. Okay, okay,
yep, all right, very good, and Jeff Bellinger joins us. Next
hang on one O six one FM Talk and f w PTI, two stations
driving the best in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News.
All right, eighty two. I'm sitting here. Are we doing this
phone or you know what we need? We need that guy's rejuvenator box from
my story earlier. A right, we're gonna chat with Jeff Bellinger. Let's
see if we can get him comrades. If now, we'll get him on
the phone. Jeff, how you doing? Yes, yeah, hey,
go right ahead, sir, all right, good morning, Casey. I
just a note to Ross. I am hearing myself in echo, but I'll
turn I'll turn you off and go ahead and do the report. Wall Street
is coming off another obsession. Major averages posted modest gains at midweek. The
gains range from less than a tenth of a percent to three tenths percent,
but the now has moved up for eight sessions in a row. That's the
longest winning streak since twenty nineteen. The password sharing crackdown at Netflix appears to
be working. The streaming video service added nearly six million subscribers in the second
quarter. In that topped forecast. BOD Investors were disappointed by the company sales
forecast for the current quarter. Netflix shares fell and after hours trading Tesla shares
were also down in late trading after the electric vehicle maker warned it expects to
more hits to its profit margins. So the NASDAC futures are pointing lower this
morning, but the Dow futures are up fourteen points. We'll see if we
can make it nine in a row for the Blue Chips. A lot of
homeowners with low interest mortgages have decided to stay put, but those who put
their homes on the market in the spring generally did well. ADAM reports profits
on home sales rebounded in the second quarter. The median nationwide home price was
up ten percent from the first quarter to three hundred fifty thousand dollars. Early
bird dinners no longer just for senior citizens and radio people who work morning drive.
YELP Purports restaurants now seat twice as many niners between two and five PM,
as they did in twenty nineteen. The Wall Street Journal says it's a
trend being driven by remote workers who want social interactive over social interaction, I
should say, after they close their laptops for the day, and Casey,
be glad, very glad. This is radio. The picture that accompanies this
Women's Wear Daily article is hard to unsee, but designers in Europe have responded
to scorching summer temperatures by introducing men's suits that come with short pants. Casey,
I just I can't even with these people. All right, thank you,
Jeff, appreciate it, man, Okay, have a good day.
All right, they go Jeff Bellinger, who I don't know that he can
hear me because he turned it down, but we appreciate it. But you
know, now I can hear me. All right, let me destruct through
this. Uh oh hey, this is uh, this is going on right
now, and it obviously needs some more coverage. So I don't know if
you've heard, but the um the solidarity right going on with the actors hitting
the picket lines in their poor people clothes. Look at you, Mark Ruffalo,
and uh, you know, telling the production the production houses. Uh,
we're we're here. With them, and we're on strike and we want
what we want, um, except a flurry of exemptions has now been requested,
all right, So I had to figure out how this works. So
basically, sag AFTRA or any of the or the Writers Union for that matter,
they can on a case by case basis provide an exemption to one of
their members that would allow them to actually do work. Right. They got
to go through this process, and there's a couple of ways you can trigger
it. One is as if the financing is entirely donation related, which is
why the Chosen production of the TV show The Chosen, which is in its
fourth season now, they were allowed an exemption. However, a lot of
top level actors are requesting them because they want to be able to go out
and not necessarily film, but they want to be able to go out and
do promotion, which is a huge core component of what they agree to and
is attached to their salaries and their deals that they get for doing the movies,
so they will get you know, let's say, if you're Tom Cruise,
who, by the way, is apparently one of the people who ask
for an exemption. So if you're Tom Cruise and Let's say you get paid
thirty million for doing the movie and you get some executive points, right,
So based on profitability of the movie, there's more money to be made as
well as whatever your contractual obligation ations are, which includes promotion. So now
actors who find themselves hitting the picket lines, who are not able to fulfill
their agreements on the part of promotion, are in danger of not receiving their
paychecks. So that's why they want the exemptions so that they can go out
and work and make their money or risk because they risk forfeiting, you know,
pay for these movies that they've already filmed in most cases for not doing
the required promotion. Um, so you're not on strike, right, How
the hell does how does that? How is that solidarity? My friend?
If if you're like, oh, we got to do something because the writers,
right, they don't. They they're not having the ability. The don't
because they don't have to do promotion. So if you're if you're one of
these Hollywood A list dudes down there for about an hour for a photo up
to show how in solidarity you are, and then you have to leave so
you can go do work and promotion. So that you can get your millions
of dollars. How it's I'm almost beginning to come to the conclusion there might
be a bunch of hypocrites in in the Hollywood. I know, how silly
of me. All Right, Thursday in the bag, there we go.
I'm gonna go smash all of our equipment with a bat and uh we'll,
you know, maybe talk to you tomorrow A good one.
