All right, you're boring and everybody, and welcome me. It is six
oh eight. I swear my voice sounded better earlier. I feel one hundred
percent. So I just want you all to know that. So you have
expressed concerns, but now it's just the sound. I'm a full boar energy.
So well, to the extent you know that we are. We're all
listless around here this time of the year. With six hours ross, we
have six hours. It's not even a work day. Well, I mean
six hours on the air. We got all the production and stuff. But
yeah, two more shows and then they k baby and we got some mystery
to solve this morning. This is juicy, and I'm gonna call in contacts
in a favor this morning. So I was reading this story as I got
up this morning from Axios Raleigh. So Axios is they have expanded into many,
many, many markets. Basically, they have a reporter in any decent
sized city. I shouldn't say any, but a few, and they have
you know, basically, they picked the big metros here try a triangle,
Charlotte, And occasionally I stumbled across their stuff and let's see. Lucille Sherman
is the author here and for our listeners in well, all of our listeners
will be interested, but especially those who live where our tower is actually for
WPTI ninety four to five are Greensboro Station, Rockingham County. So over the
years, I feel like we've had a pretty good relationship with the sheriff up
there, Sam Page, had him on for a few things. I got
to know him at the Washington, DC radio row that we used to do.
Sadly, we didn't get to do it this year. Very much look
forward to that each and every year, but there were some circumstances where they
didn't hold it this year. And so like I feel like, I'm very
hopeful we can get Sam to come on the show. This morning. I
gonna I'm going to call in the ducats. I haven't started to reach out
to him because it's O dark thirty. But and the gist is this,
there is a somebody somebody put a pole out, all right, this is
where this started. Somebody put a pole out and basically polled what would happen
if Sam Page ran for the seat currently held by Phil Berger, who of
course is ahead of the North Carolina well technically lieutenant governor is presiding whatever but
Senate Leader Phil Berger, and you know Berger obviously over the how long has
he been in there? Decades, twenty years or something, It's been a
long time. He's had challengers in the past on the Republican side, and
he's been very effective. Yeah, two decades. There we go them away.
However, in the poll, Sam Paige destroyed Burger. Now, a
poll is a poll is a poll. Anyone who was alive during the Trump
presidency understands this, or or I should say, during the initial Trump campaign.
That being said, it was by thirty points. And I know that
there is lingering resentment from many folks in Rockingham County over all of the casino
stuff. Sam Page, who obviously is the sheriff, is in fact running
for lieutenant governor. However, if you look at polls there, he's not
the leader. So the idea that he could run for Phil bergersov. None
of this is official, mind you, this is but a poll. However,
that doesn't mean that people are not trying to recruit him, and that
he may not find that as a plausible alternative since he's not getting as much
juice in the lieutenant governor's race, and the idea that the incumbent Senate leader.
Remember Tim Moore is out, He's already announced he's he's not going to
be in charge of the House next year. So the idea that the incumbent
Senate leader could find himself primaried and potentially lose. And frankly, if he
gets primaried, whoever the Republican is will likely win that seat. And from
what I what I gather, Sam Page is pretty well liked. Probably not
by you know, methatics or anything, but you know, probably pretty well
liked. So that's juicy. And I'll start I'm gonna I'm gonna buz him
here in a little while. But I know, I know for a fact
some of his deputies are listening right now because uh, I just know he
told me how many of you listen, Tell him to call the show.
I'd love to chat with him. And what's ironic is there's already people surrounding
Berger who are threatening lawsuits and stuff. It's also dumb man, Uh hold
on? What is Boston Paul email? Dude? And it has to do
with booze? Every morning? Bro, first thing yesterday, Nacho cheese,
Dorito's booze? All right, for your voice, try a shot of dill
pickle. Yeah, because I have dill pickle vodka just sitting around the house,
just sitting around, just sitting around. Ross has it? Ross?
Do you have dial pickle vodka in your studio? Oh? Wow, you
don't have a full bar in there anymore? With with the doritos nacho cheese.
All right, Well, unfortunately we do not have dip did they?
I didn't find any. But after the client party last Friday we had wine
and beer. I didn't see any liquor. So maybe there's some hide in
the bosses. Maybe I'll have to check. So no, I'm sorry,
Boston Paul. We don't just randomly have obscure liqueurs hanging out at the studio.
Okay, all right, thank you for that. I don't even is
that a thing. I'm sure it's a thing because I've seen all the gross
vodka flavors out there, like cotton candy. But yeah, I don't have
any of that. Now would that go well in a bloody Mary? Perhaps?
Yeah? Yeah, probably, but not a thing I have. All
right, back to this, so, yeah, so you got people surrounding
Burger threatening lawsuits. It may have to do. I think the group that
did the polling's not registered, which I don't know that you have to be
registered. I don't even know what their beef is. I've read this stupid
story a couple of times and I'm I'm unable. I'm unable to diagnose what
the beef is. Now would that be interesting and would most people point to?
And I thought for a moment the Axios reporter didn't understand why people were
so mad at Phil Berger, but she does. She does talk about it
later in her story. So credit where credit is due. But yeah,
that casino thing, man, that divided a lot of people. I remember
what I'm trying to remember what Mark Walker told because he was up at the
no casino thing and there was like hundreds of people. And if you ever
spent time in Rockingham County, it is not a populated portion of North Carolina,
right, So getting hundreds of people to drive in from all over Rockenham
County is very impressive. But it also lets you know that people are very
passionate. Yeah, so Page, who is currently running for lieutenant governor.
Following a Senate poll that came out last month, Page told the News and
Observer he had a lot to think about. So, I mean he's still
got what ten days or something, nine days a little more than a week
to figure out what's up there, but that could be interesting. The phone
number, by the way, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four. But if any of you listening over in the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department,
Sam's got my number, so maybe doesn't he can just called the show
number, but he does because we've texted before. Eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four. I I'd love to wallow in some gossip here
on the show this morning, so let's make that happen, all right.
Do you think they have pickled vodka down at the little store bruh, the
little free the little Store of make Sure You're honest store. Oh, that's
such a thing down there. Man. All right, well, probably not,
but thank you for the suggestion. I've had a hundred Like if I
tried every single remedy that's been emailed to me, and I look and I
appreciate it. I'm not dogging on anybody. Well a little bit on Boston,
Paul, thinking that we have pickled vodka just sitting around. But yeah,
I'd spend my whole day doing that. Somebody did tell me to gurgle
with salt water, and that kind of worked a little bit. But then
when you talk, it would be fine if you didn't talk a whole bunch
after because your throat gets really dried out. So probably a good remedy,
but not really a good remedy for talk show hosts right before they go on
the radio. But again, I appreciate the ideas. That's what we're here.
It's an exchange of ideas. That's what we do here on the show
each and every fine morn all right, So yeah, I want to get
into the Rockingham County gossip. Oh wait, hold on, hello, Mark,
what's up now? I just want to let you know that what you're
talking about is a pickle Yeah, I'm quite familiar with pickleback, sir,
Yes, yes, yes, but I got it. Yeah, but not
not in the radio studio. They kind of that, so yeah, all
right, all right, yeah, no, they're delicious. I'll tell you
what, man, Although not enough people know about a pickleback in North Carolina,
because in Minnesota they would offer you one with a variety of things,
and I just took it for granted. And then when I came to North
Carolina, a pickleback and a side car were not things that many bartenders knew.
What the heck they were right in North Carolina. A sidecar for those
thanks for the call. There s a side car is when you get a
bloody Mary and they give you like a little shooter glass, a little bigger
than a shooter glass of a beer. And to this day and some of
this, some of you are going to be horrified by this. I like
mixing beer into my bloody Mary, not a make a lotta but just a
little tang of that and then the sidecar. And that's it's a trained response.
You should try it sometime. You don't go for some heavy A Mexican
beer works fantastic, but just your general American logger or work fine too.
But don't put Miller light in there, because if you mix that and then
that and then I saw on the internet that it it it, it makes
you question your sexuality. Somebody sent me a meme the other day. I
thought we were over the Miller lite thing, but apparently we're not so AnyWho,
it's a joke. By the way, uh six Cacoday radio program Rundown
coming your way, including Yes, the Hunter Biden insanity in just a few
minutes saying on this is one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle and
News Talk ninety four five w PTI and the Triad. So yesterday, as
predicted, the Hunter Biden appearance non appearance, and I say appearance because he
did hold a pressor in front of the Capital, flanked by Eric Swaalwell,
which you know. Part of the press conference, as you know, is
the visual, which is why do you watch any anyone running for office?
Right? And then you look at the background. It's usually pretty strategic,
right, Like all right, let's get a few vets in here. A
friend of mine here in Raleigh, who is she's an attractive woman, and
that's important here because her and her very attractive friend when Trump came and did
the thing at the State Fairgrounds. I can't remember the name of the big
building there because I'm dumb, but you could tell they were rounding up hotties.
That's what those are her words. By the way, She's like,
yeah, they were rounding up hotties, and we made the cut, so
she got to they to sit right behind trum that was hey, uh yeah,
or you know, he stacked some veterans or usually on the Democratic side,
they're like, uh, you know, they want the un behind them,
so whatever. But for whatever reason, Hunter Biden's like, yeah,
can I have Eric Swalwell's hang out next to me? And that's what happened,
and he decided to go on a diatribe about all of the horrible things
happening to him. The displayed naked photos of me doing an oversight hearing,
and they have taken the light of my dad's love, the light of my
dad's love for me, and presented it as darkness. They have no shame.
Well, look, here's the deal. And now the naked photo thing.
I didn't I didn't happen to agree with that, but I also didn't
happen to care enough to disagree. Does that make sense? However, this
narrative that it's a father's love obviously has been conveyed to Hunter, and you
know they're gonna they're gonna stick with this. That being said, I bet
your dad does love you if the allegations are true, because holy crap,
you're funneling some cash. Don't worry. There's more from both there and inside
the White House. At the presser yesterday. We'll get to all of it
coming up Cacoday Radio program hang Out. The show after the show is on
the iHeartRadio app. Search case Oday for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app.
All right, good morning everybody, and welcome back. It is six
thirty five, Happy Thursday, all that good stuff. We will not be
chatting, as we've kind of regularly started doing with our bounding into comics journalist
author Fellow talk about things that are politics and irritate some of you. Stephen
Kent, wh what is the deal? He's traveling or something. He's in
Warsaw Poland. Oh no, tell him not to to go to a Manora
lighting there. Did you see that video? Yes? I did? Yes,
Okay, yeah, or go I just don't stand near the Manoras because
some politician with a fire extinguisher will come over and put him out. So
he's in Warsaw Poland, Holy cow man. I like to travel, but
I don't know that I've ever considered Warsaw Poland. Is that a work thing
or is that vacate? He said it was the work thing, And then
Twitter and his ex account also like photos like hanging out Warsaw Poland. So
I'm like, I mean, I shouldn't say that I don't want to go
there. I just never never really crossed my mind. But huh, maybe
one day. So we'll see, all right, Well, I hope he
has fun and then we'll talk to him in the new year. Dude,
did you see, by the way, did you see the interview of the
the chick who played the Little Mermaid interviewing Rachel whatever her name is, the
snow white actress. Did they put out They did an interview like she has
a show or something that's like sit down interview, and it's weird, man,
It's just it's them for like, and it's like forty five minutes and
it's them commiserating over what it's like to get flack for their casting. And
I did watch the critical Drinkers take on this, yes, and I think
he's spot on where basically he's like, they're not the same people, and
Disney's trying to make it seem like they're the same people, right, the
actress who was cast and you know it comes down to race swapping characters.
The actress who was cast to play a Little Mermaid. People's beef wasn't with
her. You would agree with Ross, You would agree with that, right.
The beef wasn't with her personally. It was with the people putting the
movie together, right, uh correct, yes, yeah, but then the
press stuff started, I'm talking about Little Mermaids. Oh oh yeah, no,
yeah, completely completely she her She never leaned into it, never,
She just did her thing and by all for all practical purposes, she can
sing. She's a good actress. No, people's beef wasn't with her.
It was with what they felt was Disney making a move for the sake of
making a move, whereas with snow white actress. You're right. At first,
people's beef was with the studio. Although I honestly I thought she was
fine for being cast. I think she looks enough like her because I know
people were like reading it like skin as white as snow, all that she's
if you didn't know that, if you didn't know her name, or that
she was, you know, of a Hispanic background, I think just to
people's eye, there wouldn't have been a sudden like I don't care. But
to your point, you're right, the beef a rose, the big beef
when she opened her damn mouth and crapped all over the subject matter. It
was like the one two punch because first you saw the promo material and you're
like, wait, those are the seven Dwarves, right, like the Dwarfs,
so what people was? It was what people are and they're like,
okay, well let's see what she's about. And then she opens her mouth
and it's just like just give her like a shovel because she just keeps digging,
you know, she can't help herself. Did you see what they're doing
with the Dwarves? Now? I guess they're gonna see GI Dwarves? Yeah,
yeah, that's what What if they see G? I like, what
if they make it like a like a who Frame Roger Rabbit where it's like
the original Dwarves with the live action actor. Okay, pretty cool? Yeah,
I'd be fine. But here's but but they there was a photo that
I saw. Did you watch it? Watch the Critical Drinkers thing? He
has a photo of it or still from it. I don't know if that's
one hundred percent of where they're going, but I think that's where people are
right now. And the irony is so now you're going to do Dwarves,
but you're not going to hire people with dwarfism. Because Peter Dinklic came out
and did his thing. And so a bunch of actors who are who have
Dwarfism are now not going to get to work, and I guess they'll get
to voice. So who the hell I want? I want seven yaw ming
Dwarfs. I want like seven Andre the Giant. I want the exact opposite
that, So he more like the Seven Giants, but we'll call him Dwarfs
because it's twenty twenty three or twenty twenty. They identify it, know that
matters anymore? So uh, okay, well you get Draymond Green. They
just suspended him for in perpetuity, so it was seven Draymond Greens. Okay,
apparently you can't just punch an opponent. I don't know. NBA rules
are a mystery to me. So yeah, no. But so the beef
with with her was with her with her movie, and so Disney's all right,
we'll do this thing and then people will feel bad about their criticism and
it's just people clowning on it. I'll save you forty five minutes. Most
of it is them just you know, commiserating, and then like five minutes
of it is that. But it attempts to link the two and the two
things are not the same. I don't even know how I got on this
conversation. It was just something that annoyed me yesterday because I'm like, are
people that stand? They probably are a lot of people probably are. But
whatever, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
So back to Minion's Hunter Biden, have you no shame? Sir?
Very famous quote from politics here Ian America, going back to a certain Wisconsin
senator, and Hunter did his version of it. They displayed naked photos of
me toriing and over hearing, and they have taken the light of my dad's
love, the light of my dad's love for me, and presented it as
darkness. They have no shame. All right? Now, I remember why
I was getting into the racial Zigler thing. I remember her name like that,
because it's performative and it's crafted, and it's by you know, it's
by design, it's consulted. This is the narrative, this is just a
father's love. There's nothing to see here. And Hunter came out, and
you know, he read his lines standing next to Eric Smaalwell, which again
I don't understand, but whatever, and scene and the reality is he didn't
go in he didn't sit for his deposition. Trump's kids sat for forty hours.
I want you to know this, That is how long Don Junior's deposition
was. It was forty hours. Not all at once, obviously, but
over the course of days. He sat for forty hours of deposition. Because
this is the process. This is the process in Congress. You have deposition
and then you have public hearing. And they don't want the deposition because the
deposition allows you to get into things elsewhere. They say it's because Republicans and
I hope you're sitting down for this, will then take select portions of the
deposition and put it out into the media, thus creating a false narrative.
And I, for one, cannot imagine anyone doing that except for every Democrat
on the J six, every Democrat on the Russian collusion, and of course
every Democrat during the totality of the Mueller investor where stuff was leaking out,
we find out that even the former FBI director himself was leaking things. But
this is their concern. But he went further. There's no evidence to support
the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business, which is not
true because and you can claim it's to a small amount. We know for
a fact that there was a pay, a monthly payment of about a fifteen
hundred dollars. That one's on the books. The rest is very strategically named
in generic ways, and people suspect it is and that's what they're trying to
figure out. But we know, we know that there was at the very
least that, and you could claim it's a consultancy and there would be no
illegality to it. But it's also interesting what he said right there, and
I'm gonna play it again because arguably it's goal post moved again. Remember knew
nothing about it, did nothing, talked about the weather. We got to
talk about the weather. And now we have a new fresh narrative on him
not being quote financially involved. And I think some people would disingenuously argue that
well, paying him doesn't mean financial involvement, only if he invested money,
which I argue will be the next goal post. But listen, again,
there's no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my
business because it did not happen. James Comer, Jim Jordan, Jason Smith
and their colleagues have distorted the facts by cherry picking lines from a bank statement,
manipulating text I sent editing the test the modium of my friends and former
business partners. He's referring to Bobolinsky, and uh, Ross, you watched
that whole Bobolinski interview, right, because you had to pull the audio,
and it was fascinating. I watched that whole thing. I don't think anything
was ed. I mean it was edited in the sense that you edit a
show, but the interview itself there was no point where they were talking about
some and they didn't come back to it, which is how I kind of
try to recognize editing. The Bobolinsky stuff was fascinating during the election, right.
That was with the Tucker Carlson at the time, right, and everybody
was like, oh, well, it's uh. They automatically debunked it because
it was Tucker Carlson and because Biden's had said it was all a political nonsense.
It was like, oh, well, this Bobolinsky guy has to be
full of crap, right, But Jim, they selectively edin no, no,
so dumb and misstating personal information that was stolen from me. It wasn't
stolen. You abandoned it. I mean, just right off the bat.
Honestly, if I was, if I was consulting this dude, I'd have
told him not to mention that. Why because once something clicks is patently dishonest.
People don't believe the other stuff. You're saying nothing was stolen from you.
You abandon it because you were a crack addict. That part's true.
And again, that's not even my beef with you, dude. I've had
I've dealt with family members with wholesale of drug addictions. I've had friends,
and it's it's awful and I wouldn't wish it upon anybody. But when you're
when you're in that state, you also do some of the most incredibly stupid
stuff. Look, why do you think we have Florida band stories? How
many of those are connected to people who are quite obviously addicts. That woman
yesterday driving the seven mile bridge through a marathon in Florida, in the marathon
Florida, which I guess is an appropriate place to hold a marathon at one
hundred miles an hour, wedding herself singing gospel tunes. You think that woman's
not on something? Come on, man, to quote the Bidens, there
is no fairness or decency and what these Republicans are doing right right? Remember
how you're making fun of Trump's kid over on day one, trying to figure
out what level of autism he's suffered from, and even alleging that maybe his
behavior wasn't that, but was because Trump. I watched a little snippet on
on YouTube yesterday and it included from election night twenty sixteen, the young Turks,
those idiots, and they're like, wow, he got elected, but
he's going to be convicted of raping a child. Remember that whole narrative where
they put out this false he raped a child, which is, by the
way, is deeply ironic considering who we now know we're dealing with with all
of this Epstein stuff, but up in Washington, so you know, don't
give me that garbage. So he did that, what is it? I
don't know the answer to that. He's sending me Draymond Green funfacts if you
didn't see it, Yeah, he punched who was it was Jack Joe Sick
or I can't remember who he punched. It's pretty bad on the court,
acting like he was just I'm just trying to flare my arms. Yeah,
he's suspended indefinitely. But no, I mean, like, we're sitting here
watching this and he shows up, he does his presser, and he leaves.
Now the question will become what are Republicans gonna do about it? And
sadly, I think the answers h nothing. I don't think they're gonna do
anything. I think you're gonna go, oh, look, it's Christmas.
Oh ironically, you know, there are people who have thoughts on what should
be done, one of which, by the way, is Joe Biden himself.
For that, you have to actually head into the White House and the
White House Press briefing, which we will get into coming up here on the
CaCO Day radio program Smart Talk All Day nine w PTI in the Triad and
one six one FM talking in the Triangle. All right, well, I
didn't need to see this, but uh, apparently they're doing They've decided to.
Hey, but you know what this is actually in sticking with what they
said they were gonna do. Don't By the way, we're gonna get into
the White House Press conference stuff at seven o five because I need more than
three minutes because there's lots of audio. But this is sticking with what we
heard from Disney where they're like, why are we making any money off Marvel's
What if we went back and just went back with the original characters everyone likes.
So I'm not surprised they're doing a fifth Thor. I'm just disappointed because
I feel like they killed that franchise. I mean, it's crazy, like
the evolution that happened with Thor, right, because like in my opinion,
Thor Okay, second, like Ragnarok is one of my favorite Marvel movies.
It is a good one. And the drop off from Ragnarok to Love and
Thunder Yes with the same director Tahiti Wahiti or whatever his name is, a
drink Tahiti Wahiti. It was what just happened, and he did it on
purpose. He even said that, you know previously, like he's going to
despoil your mists and this and that he made it despite people, and you
can tell it is garbage. That movie is absolute garbage. Can't disagree.
Do you remember what a big deal it was when Captain America Steve Rogers and
the Avengers Moody and what was it an end gamer in Finney War when when
he could yield Thor's hammer. Hold On, hold on, hold on.
It was a big deal when Thor could lift Thor's hammer, right, because
it was about worthiness right when he regained it in the first movie, Like
I can't remember that that scene in that movie. The theater erupted when Steve
Rodgers could wield that that hamm. Yes, right, and even and even
Thor's like, I knew it, right, I knew you were worthy.
And your captain America, the stuff you have seen, you have proven yourself.
However, and then the last Ahiti Wahiti movie you have this like little
girl, you thought Ray wielding a lightsaber with no training was was bad,
right, right, So this girl's like queen bit place like just like it,
like it's nothing, And Thor's like, yeah, you know, I
want you to have that to the movie. Missed I missed it. Yeah,
she's So they're saying this this time around. They're saying the new Thor
movie, it's gonna back to basics and like be you know, a more
serious movie, and Thor is going to be like the main protagonist, we
hope, And there's six dwarves in it. I don't know there aren't now,
are they? Like Peter like y Ming Dwarfs, which we all they
all, yeah, that's crazy. He still has his acts, his his
king acts or whatever that thing is. It is pretty made him. Yeah,
I have a tradition. I would prefer just Thor to have the hammer.
Yeah, but that thing when he landed in Wakanda with that thing,
I was pretty bad ass and endgame souse then you know it was Infinity.
Yeah, but yeah, they're gonna do that again. All right, Ross
as a purist, we'll see, maybe they've learned their lessons. Good morning
and welcome. It is seven oh six here on the Cacoday Radio program day
for my voice experiment. Boy, I feel a thousand times better today though,
so that rocks. But I wish I had the voice to match it.
And I think it's because we got so much good stuff to get to.
I was just looking at this and I was chatting with Ross off the
air man. The Biden administration is bleeding musk. And this isn't an argument
over subsidies, you know how I feel about that. But if you're gonna
do them, and you start carving out individual companies that have long been a
part of it, and it's just one thing then maybe, And it started
with the subsidy for electric vehicles, which is seventy five hundred dollars, and
they thought, it Tesla, that that was going to get trimmed to thirty
seven fifty. But a change in battery not where the stuff in the batteries
from. This is how nuanced. This is so previous. For those of
you who don't know rare earth metals, which are a necessity for building an
electric vehicle, the primary producer on the planet is China, okay, and
it's not even close. And so when Tesla started building their vehicles, obviously
they were ahead. You're right, because remember it was Tesla, it was
Prius, and it was Leif those are the big kind of three. But
Tesla was, you know, really at the forefront of this because the rare
earth metals are there and it's more financially conducive to then manufacturing batteries there.
They still manufacture batteries for at least two of the models in China because they
have all the infrastructure there. Now, again this is you can agree or
disagree with the business model, you can agree or disagree with subsidies. However
they did so if not if the stuff comes from China, but if the
physical end manufacturing takes place in China, you're not eligible for the subsidy anymore.
That's a change they made. So that is going to Tesla, required
Tesla to you know, tack on seventy five hundred or lose out on profit
and probably a combination of both. Well, that was number one. Number
two, we found out yesterday that the FCC let me just read this story.
It was revealed Tuesday that the FCC would not give starlink. All right,
so this is the satellite internet thing that Musk has nearly nine hundred million
in subsidies to expand internet service across Rule America, claiming that it's failed to
demonstrate that one it could deliver and two that it is viable technology, so
they're going to cut that off. And then you had these regulatory investigations.
Remember they're investigating Musk out of his rocket factory for not hiring people in the
country who are not citizens, even though that would not fly for any company
producing anything that is considered a weapon, and if you manufacture rockets, that's
considered a weapon for obvious reasons. So regulatory harassment over and over. But
also these are the same people who are claiming, well, starlink style,
we don't know that that works. Weren't they ready to crucify Musk over the
fact that when Ukraine wanted to use the starlink service, he was giving them
for free, giving them for free in an offensive capability. He said,
no, you can't do it. The deal is you can use it for
defensive you know, and then non military applications. Remember how they lost their
damn minds about how that was going to be the end of Ukraine. So
it seemed like they had quite a bit of confidence in the technology. And
ask any well, I guess, ask ask anyone who owns a yacht okay,
or anyone who requires internet service on the seas right, so you know,
shippy container companies, any of that, Ask them how they get internet
on their ships. Starlink. Yeah, ask people in rural Wyoming and Montana
how they get internet to some of the most rural areas. Paradise guest Ranch
should be a good example that I know of starlink. Baby, So this
unproven tech idology which is already utilized, it all across the world, being
utilized in very rule environments or you know, obviously in the in the in
these marine environments. Now all of a sudden, they're like, yeah,
we don't know about technology. So some would say, when you cobble that
all together, it sounds like it sounds like this administration is singling out one
individual and uh, you know, going going at his throat. That would
that's how I would say it. In fact, one of the commissioners,
who's not the Biden appointees, US Brendan Carr, protested the decision accuse the
agency of quote joining a growing list of federal agencies engaging in the regulatory harassment
of Elon Musk. And he's not wrong. This is what happens, man,
This is what happens when you screw with the powers to be. They'll
break you. You call you call it illuminati or big government, or just
be for whatever. But the fact remains that each and every one of those
actions simultaneously belies their own opinions on the very same products just a short time
ago. Also, Ross, did you hear Elon Musk is starting a university,
by the way, did you He's he's starting a university in Texas,
and they expect that federal regulators will get up in his business. There,
but it'll be a university that just does STEM. Yeah. I saw certain
people comparing it on x to Trump University. They know it's going to be
Literally, he'll build out a campus that'll make the University of Texas feel feel
ashamed. Man, he wants to do a STEM university because he recognizes that
those graduates are core to his his business interests. And, believe it or
not, some a lot of very very rich people throughout the history of the
world, but especially here in the United States, in fact founded universities.
A lot of people that today, if you bring up their name, the
more woke will recoil in disgust because obviously they had the values of the era
in which they grew up in, but they failed to recognize that likely the
wokest among them might have been educated at the very university those people started.
So ah, it's just so dumb. By the way, University of North
Carolina, you should probably you should probably check the math on when that was
founded and who was founded by because there might be some slave owners in there.
University of Virginia, what was that Jefferson and founded that? Right,
So good luck with all that. But yeah, the whole thing is just
a dumpster fire. All right, Before I get to the I promise to
play the audio from Jean Pierre and the reporters. I'll do that momentarily.
Let me grab a callee jam All what something? Hey, Kasey, I'll
be ready. But the provided administration turning the government fully on her enemy?
Yeah yeah, Joe, Yeah, who would think bynt your Biden knows nobody
is going to hold him responsible. For the last past six years, he
has been runnering around America doing what he wants to whom he wants, how
he wants, and nobody's held him accountable, the Democrat Party. And yesterday
it was a simple question asked the Rambison, the guy who led the first
impeachment of President Trump, a Democrat, Robert Rambison. He adds that a
lady ask him, isn't this hippocritical? You literally put Steve Bennon in contempt
the Congress, but you're not doing it for him. Well, Steve ben
how you could tell he was reaching, but he knows nobody is going to
hold him untownable. Not that the Republicans help, you know. Now we've
got our ways of you know, Twitter rumble, you know, we're able
to get some stuff out. We don't. We don't know Jamal. We
don't have to go there. The Republicans control the house hold him, hold
him in contempt. Look at Lee. Look, you gotta make the You
gotta make the recommendation of the DJ. And I understand that that may be
a feudal effort, but you don't have a set of stones if you don't
do it. Well, here's my thing. In two thousand and we're going
back a little bit. Two thousand and eleven, Eric Holder was held.
They could attempt, they voted for him. What did the DJ do?
But Eric Holder? Absolutely nothing right? So put it on the d Put
it on the d J, is what I'm saying. And do you think
Republicans will do that? No? I don't. You want to tell you
why. I won't tell why. I don't Republicans are doing anything because every
time case we got victory. And it's a t rex. Imagine a big
t rex. Sure he got hold on. What is this? What does
the t rex say? The t rex has is the t rex name is
victory? And he goes h and he got he has defeat in his jaws.
Okay, he's about the swallows. Republicans will three t rex to save
defeat from his jaws. We won't pull their feet out of Victory's jaws.
Okay, that's what we do. We screwed up. We dropped the ball
consistently. So am I do I think we gonna sit there and hold him
in contempt? You know what? I'm so sorry Case. I got to
go by what we do and the answer is no, because somebody's gonna get
You know, when you heard yesterday Margo Republicist, male Republicists, and you
know what does the heffles on a few gonna say them Big cal helf was
gonna say, it's the mag Republicans. He just loves his son. Oh
you talk about his son who's still smoking coke? Smith and Kotain a deep
body, white gus, underage girls. He literally has videos to help with
underage girls. And nobody is compared him to Jeffrey Upstein. Nobody's comparing him
to R. Kelly. He just sorry, did you did you hold the
appetite? Did you not? Did you hear my interview with Senator Bud I
don't know that they care up there about any of the Epstein stuff, man,
but I'm want to go back to your better idea, just because I'm
a little short on time. So okay, so we we release a t
Rex into the Congressional building. Is that what you're at because I would watch
that. I think that solution for everything going on. Man, just put
it in their ce raisers. The t rex is saying victory. You know
what, you can wear a custom hat. I don't care. Just stick
it in there, all right, I got Jamal, I got a roll
man, but thank you. Right Ross, you're watching t Rex loose of
the Capitol. I am, oh, I'm watching. I'm watching it.
Get it? You get it? A hat like you women like to do
for your small dogs to be great, a little sweater. But yeah,
just boom and it goes. Can that be considered a threat because there's no
t rexes? I don't know. I guess we'll find out, all right.
We flip over to this. So the the hunter Biden insanity then made
its way into the White House Press briefing. We'll start with Steve Doocey,
and you could tell that Jean Pierre is not having any of this. He
said that President was familiar with what his son was gonna say on Capitol Hill.
If I called my dad and said I am about to violate a congressional
subpoena, you'd probably say, Son, you shouldn't do that. Was there
any attempt by President Biden to talk Hunter out of it today? All right?
And I just wanted to before she gives her dumb answer, I want
you to pay attention to how dismissive she is of the idea that Hunter Biden
may have consulted with his father on this issue, which seems a thousand percent
logical. I might point out that he had a conversation with his dad.
Everyone would believe that he's in contact with his father. Listen to her retort,
you call your dad, Steve, oh dad usually. Look, I
don't have anything else to add. The President was familiar with what Hunter was
going to say today. And now, look, he's proud of his son.
He and the first leader out of his son. How he's rebuilding his
life back. He's going to focus on what is needed on the American people.
Hunter. And I've said this many times as a private citizen, and
so certainly I would have to refer you to to his representative. I'm just
not going to get into private conversations, because what you're asking me is actually
a private conversation. I'm just not going to great first briefing. Since Hunter
was indicted again in Los Angeles, Why does in president five just pardon him?
President? I've been very clear the President's not going to partner, all
right, So and then, by the way, keep that receipt right,
not going to pardon this? I don't know. And again, this is
not just you hear how she's mocking me, like, oh, are you
going to call your daddy? This is a lot more than that. And
hey, other reporters actually asked the same questions kind of your's from the Daily
Mail. The President was familiar with what his son was going to say today.
Was the president vote in drafting it, discussing it? Did he go
for advice? I don't have anything else to add. He was familiar.
I don't have anything else to add. Okay, But here's the meat of
this, and that is this statement made by Joe Biden in twenty twenty one,
when of course it was you know, Bannon and other Republicans too,
but primarily focused on that he subvide congressional subpinas on the JA. Do you
have a message to people who defy congressional subpoenas. Hard to hear people svide
congressional subpoenas on the January sixth committee. I hope that the committee goes after
him on the whole him accountable. Do they be prosecuted by argues? All
right, that same thing put to Jean Pierre. Here we go, okay,
and you asked what the president what it styles was on people who defy
comgression of subpoenas. In twenty twenty one, he was asked that question specifically
and said that he believed the Justice Department should prosecute them. Is that still
his position for people? We don't have anything to add to what you have
just quoted me from the President. I just don't have an eating at right,
right, And she knows full well that it's it exists out there.
So yeah, exactly what you would expect. Sticky with the narrative. Father
loves his son, that's all this is about. Never bring up money.
But again the new bar he was never financially involved, and uh not all
the media got that message. I'll explain coming up. Hang on your day
Smarter one O six one FM Talk and News Talk ninety four PTI more with
Casey starts. Now. I am I am shocked that parents in Clay County
are upset over But this idiot did, all right, look, we all
know, and I maybe maybe it's different. This happened in Florida, by
the way, because of course it did. Uh maybe we're all I thought
it was Pennsylvania, but it's Florida, Clay County, Florida. Uh,
how do I say this? I know that at least it was my experience
when I was in school that the days leading up to Christmas break and the
days leading up to the last day of the year are not a learning rich
environment. And I don't necessarily blame the teachers for that or the schools for
that. Kids got eyes on the prize. Man, you do what you
can. And also you're getting into times, especially around the holidays, where
you may have more vacancies. Then you got to play catch up and fine.
And so this teacher in Clay County decided that they were going to show
some movies and I don't know what the teaching alongside it was, but just
wait for it. And in an effort not to discriminate based on the fact
that people have different holidays, that they observe Hanikka Christmas some Kwansa. They
decided that the teacher decided that she would cover I think it's a she.
Well, I gonna check the language in here. Yeah, they refer to
as as she. They would she would cover the bases. So I don't
know exactly what Christmas movie was shown, or Kwansa or any of that for
that matter, but we do know about one movie for no reason that I
can understand. And these are elementary age kids, right elementary. The teacher
also showed them Crampis. Do you all know what Crampis is? So Crampis
is. Crampis is a holiday demon and it's not just you know, some
horror movie as of late, although they did do one a number of years
ago and I've watched it and that's the one that was shown, and it's
dark. I mean, it's a slasher horror demon flick. It's not for
kids, not for kids at all. But there is Germanic lore surrounding Crampis
and basically it was yet another way to make kids behave. However, when
you put it to screen and you show out all the actual non bay,
what happens to the non behaviors that's going to terrify some elementary kids, and
as you can imagine, parents were very upset. The school's response was,
it was not in a regular classroom, it was in a music class I
don't know that that matters really because you're still elementary kids. Were you wading
was there music in the movie? And then there was music in there?
Like, I guess maybe I can get there where you're trying to incorporate it
in there. But how in God's name you decide to put on a slash
a demon slasher horror movie for elementary kids is beyond me. The lesson plan,
which was dubbed Holidays around the World, all right, they said that
she didn't show the whole movie. She showed a portion of the movie,
and that's I literally they said, well, the movie was not shown,
but a portion of a of it was, and a YouTube clip doesn't matter.
I watched that movie. I wouldn't say it's a great horror flick,
but it's definitely not for kids, elementary kids anyway. Yeah, I understand
why parents are po't on that. Man, what are you doing? What
are you doing all right? Coming up on the show. Well, actually
no, I just looked. I was misreading my clock. Here, we'll
do it now. To quote Bill O'Reilly kind of a few more f words
in there. I this is my bad. I wish I'd had seen this
story prior to my interview with Senator Bud But you can bet I will definitely
be inquiring about this. So if you don't know, PISA is up,
and after all of the abuse that we saw with PISA, everything that was
going on with you know, double sourcing, singular Yahoo articles they're largely probably
based on governmental leaks anyway, and then still being allowed to have secret courts
that issue these these rents to go out and spy on Americans. I think
a lot of people realize that FISA is fundamentally broken and has largely lived up
to some of the more dire predictions that were put out at the time of
its passing. Well, it expires December thirty first and has to be renewed.
However, they are calling it a reformation of PISA. Okay, all
right, So people have been digging into this this week. Here's the deal.
All the stuff that FAISA was before is still there. They just want
to add some stuff, so they're changing. None of the things that were
visibly broken. And now they want to add a new section to FIZA,
making it over three thousand pages. By the way, and this was a
bill, or a portion of a bill that if you go back to,
you know, under the Bush administration and the Patriot Act was not even in
one hundred pages. It's three thousand now. But the most well, the
creepiest portion of this and and by the way, it looks like right now
it'll pass easily even though Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, Mike
Johnson, the Speaker of the House is Jonson, get right back to the
page there we go. Yes, that one has said that, oh no,
we're we're willing to allow a debate. Now it looks like they're not
going to. So here's what the new portion of FISA would do. Uh.
House Intelligence Bill expands the definition of electronic communication service provider. All right,
So if they want to go get data from an electronic communications service provider,
they're talking about AT and T or Boost or T Mobile or you know
whatever internet providers comcasts things like that. However, in the new expansive definition
that would also include any quote, business, landlord, shared workspace, or
hotels that connect to the Internet. So basically anywhere that you connect to the
Internet, your coffee shop, a hotel, you travel to, you know,
any of the how many of you probably have a dozen saved passwords or
connection points in your phone right now. I don't look some people don't,
do, you know, wireless in public spaces, and good for you.
I do. I just don't do weird stuff. But yeah, all of
those quote business landlords that provide communications services would now be akin to a Internet
service provider, a phone company, any of the others. Hotels, libraries,
coffee shops, any a place that offers Wi Fi to their customers could
be forced to serve as surrogate spies. According to Elizabeth Gouyton, who is
quote in this article former Justice Department lawyer, and what makes it more odorous.
If you're a business owner out there and you provide Wi fi is,
you'll probably, depending on your system, you may have to reconfigure your system.
So that's a cost to you. And if you're not in compliance with
that, you could find yourself penalized should FAIZA come around requesting records or demanding
would be a better word. The bill would also cover any repairman who works
on that type of equipment. So even if you hire somebody to come into
your home, they themselves could be tasked under FAIZA to aid in the provision
of this information if they want to get a hold of your internet records.
Now, some people sit there and go, well, look, they already
can go after your home records by going to whoever provides your stuff. Yeah,
which is also one of the reasons that people who may want to remain
private occasionally do things not on their home network. Why not necessarily because they're
criminals, because it's none of your damn business. So yeah, we'll see.
But right now it looks like just the committee itself passed thirty five to
two on this thing, so it's not hopeful anyway. Seven forty six raced
Agic from the Weather Channel. He's hanging out here on our Thursday. Man,
what a snoozer that game is going to be tonight, don't care chargers
rados charge, Yeah, got a dog in that fight? Probably not.
Yeah, I'll stick with like Rudolph or Santa Claus is coming to town or
something like that. Dude, somebody sent me speaking of football games, somebody
saw me. You know what, i I'm gonna say this. I didn't
independently verify it, but I've got it from a couple different people. All
Right, somebody sent me a page. I think it must be a secondary
reseller of football tickets for the Panthers Falcons game this weekend, and tickets started
forty five cents, I'm assuming before all the taxes and fees, so that'll
probably there'll probably be a thirty dollars ticket then, but yeah, like I
see like twelve dollars here looking at one of the sites. Oh, that's
probably true, then, yeah, because it's just an algorithm that's going to
price those nosebleeds anyway based on other ticket sales. So yeah, throw heavy
rain on top of that, there might not be anybody. There might not
be anybody there because that's where we're going tonight. Gosh, that's ugly.
But a few games affected by rain, not only Atlanta at Panthers on Sunday,
potentially into New England. It's all one o'clock kickoff, So Chiefs Patriots,
they might be good. But how about Baltimore Jacksonville. They may be
in some of the heart of the heaviest rain on Sunday night. That's a
pretty big matchup on Sunday that may have impacts. Yeah, it looks like
a lot of it's probably gonna start pulling away, but you know during the
day here, it's going to be raining hard on Sunday. Same thing in
Charlotte for the Panthers game. And Sunday is going to be a day where
I'll make the reference just drop back fifteen and punt. I mean, there's
nothing outside that you're going to even want to do. If you want to
try to brave it out at the game, go ahead. But until then,
the weather leading up to actually pretty decent. Little Chili today will struggle
to get to fifty the mid upper fifties for Friday and Saturday. So Saturday
is dry, it's not till late Saturday night and Sunday the rain comes in,
might have some gusty winds. There could be a thunderstorm element to it,
and there could be a strong wind element to this storm too. It's
really going to sound and have a feel like a tropical system with wind and
rain and thunder, but it won't be a name system. And then it'll
taper off the showers Monday and a chance of showers Tuesday, and we'll cool
off a little bit, but temperatures will still stay above fifty degrees into the
middle of next week and beyond where we'll have another probably week next week where
we won't have any precipitation and it may not see precipitation come back till after
the Christmas holiday. So big rain event, multi ble inches of rain are
possible. There could be flooding also Sunday, and then we get back into
some showers Monday, and then another five to seven days with no precipitation.
So I'd say be prepared. Now. Looks like it's gonna be pretty nasty
out on Sunday. Can I get a specific forecast? Can I ask you?
Uh? Orchard Park three twenty five Sunday afternoon, three twenty five Sunday
afternoon. Yeah, you know what I mean by Orchard Park obviously, yes,
yes, it's eastern right, Yeah, it probably cuaks some clouds.
I think at some point there'll be some rain coming in at the end of
the game. Those bills, see weapon, they need to know. Man.
Yeah, No, there's not gonna be any snow. There's gonna be
a warm system, maybe a little breezy too. So Ross, here's what
you do. Go to Canada with some dump trucks, get all the snow
right and then just right I'd be like, oh man, look what happened?
Lake effect? Call it lake effect. They love that term. Bill's
thirty five Cowboys seventeen. Okay, all right, Wow, that's aggressive.
That's aggressive? Did you gay? Is that you? Or does somebody make
that prediction? Just me? Oh well all right? And you know what
ross is psychic? We have proven it on that and I definitely won't be
here Monday if it's totally wrong. So are you merry Christmas? Yeah?
All right, all right, we'll talk in an hour. Things. Oh
yeah, that vacation, could I mean, did the NFL consult on the
schedule? Ing? Yes, guys. The best part about vacation is I
don't have to worry about coming in Monday if we lose. Yeah, it's
like three weeks in a row. It's great. We got to play the
bangles. I don't even know who the hell knows, but all right,
AnyWho it is seven fifty one hang on, key thing you connected? This
is ninety four five w PTI and the Triad and Talk and the Triangle.
All right, seven fifty five PCODA Radio program. Yeah, I'd love to
strike that deal with your bro, but I didn't. So you weren't aware
of what's going on with our quarterback situation, are you? Oh? I
had no idea. Ross was just trying to He's like, if you guys
beat the Bengals, and I should say it's Saturday because Vikings are one of
the three Saturdays, it's a deal I'll try to pull off for you.
Or if you beat the Bengals, yes, yes, yeah, we will
defeat the Cowboys. But if you can't pull it off, I can't guarantee
anything a Sunday. We scored three against the race, but I like,
I'm saying, you have a pastor not who is benched. They benched Dobby.
They benched Dobby. He's uh, he is the bag. They moved
him to back up for comedy. First they were like, oh, he's
tenson up. But then it became pretty clear that they put our younger dude,
Nick Mullins in there because Dobby was just not getting it done. Not
that Mullins did, but I mean they did score the three with Mullins,
and they announced, yesyesterday that Mullins will be the starter on Saturday. So
yeah, yeah, the past or not's not in there, so so you
pack up, backup, going against the Bengals. Backup. He maybe he's
the next rock Party, except we've seen him play and he's not. I
yes, yes, yes, against the Bengals. Back up. I don't
even know who the Bengals. Who is the Bengals starting quarterback? I don't
even know who the hell it is. But yeah, that's what that's where
we're at. So I would and we're both seven and six teams, by
the way, but Jefferson is playing, so that's good. We'll do our
best. That's all I can That's all I can promise. Now, what
happens if we do beat him and then you don't beat the Cowboys, you're
just assuming I'll forget by January exactly. Okay, that's probably fair, all
right, real quick, tim, I got about a minute, go ahead,
Yes, sir, I just wanted to. I don't know if anybody
mentioned it at Johnson Turley, who was a George washing Ten Law School professor
defendant who was it removed from office, and the brides that he received was
a sent to his family just because there's no diffrect payment legally means that's not
being anything. No no, no, no, no. I'm saying that
the the the consultancy or what looks to be fifteen dollars is easily explainable as
a consultancy fee, and the eye on the prize is the bigger payments.
I totally agree with you. It doesn't matter if it's going to the Sun
or the or the brother, if it's Bill turned back or he's benefiting in
any way. You and Turley are absolutely right, and that's what Republicans have
to prove. That's what they got to prove. It's not about the crackheadedness,
it's the money. All right, Good morning everybody, and'll welcome.
It is our number three g c O Day radio program, Happy Thursday,
Happy, one hour to go Today, three hour tomorrow. Yip yip yip
yep. I'm only saying it down more often because, like a dude,
is really annoyed every time we mentioned it. So that's for you, buddy.
I'm sorry that you're mad that we're happy. AnyWho. All right,
a few things going on. I want to before the end of the show
today, I want to get our friend Sam Page, Rockingham County Sheriff,
to call into the show so I know I know that there are quite a
few of you who listened to the show who are associated with Sam Worrek at
the Sheriff's Department Deputies, a very nice woman who works inside the department.
I can't remember what she does, but I remember talking to her and I
got to know because there is a there is a bit of gossip here.
And don't worry if you're not the Triad or Rockingham County, this could affect
you because Sam Page, who we've chatted with a lot, kind of a
no nonsense guy. You know, he's running for lieutenant governor. But it's
not about that. No, no, no, no no. So here's
what happened. A poll came out and it was not a poll. Well,
I guess a poll did come out about lieutenant governor's race. Sam did
not do great in it and actually told News and Observer that he is what
was the quote I'm looking at I'm considering my options something like that. You
know, I'm pretty standard. That's what he told News and Observer. But
that's not the poll I'm talking about. No, no, no, a
different poll. And it's not one hundred percent clear who all's behind this thing,
but there are there are we have some clues and in that poll,
it showed that Sam Page if he were to run for the Senate seat occupied
by the head of the Senate, Phil Berger. Right, uh, you
know, one of the two people that basically runs North Carolina. It's true
governor doesn't do crap man, it's a veto proof majority on stuff. Those
are the Phil Berger and Tim Moore, the two most powerful people, and
arguably I think they like it that way. They're probably happy to have a
democratic governor blamed ductor democratic governor because they don't even have to pay party politic,
you know, oblige anything that a Republican governor might want. I don't
know that for a fact. I'm just saying that that's the situation they're in.
But Bill Berger, who has served for twenty years, twenty years,
I think, irritated some folks over that casino stuff, as evidence by hundreds
who gathered there as part of a meeting in Rockingham County. And so the
idea that he could be unseated by a primary challenger, and likely Page would
just slide right in because that district is R plus a billion. Okay,
maybe it's not that much, but you get the it's it's a red district.
And I think for the most part, if you're not a meth head,
pages either liked or not hated. I don't know. Some people have
beef with law enforcement. But yeah, that's pretty entice. So you know,
the idea, and there's nothing indicating that he's going to move from one
race to the other. But the idea that that comes out that opportunity may
be out there, I think is probably pretty intriguing. So I want to
talk to Sam Page. So one of you, I one of you at
some point this morning, uh is going to be around him. I'm gonna
have Ross call him, but you should be like, hey, you should
call Casey. Oh and then Ross reached out too. But just bugging is
here. Bugging is here because I I want to get to the bottom of
this. The polster was unnamed in a memo released on the pole. The
group, who identifies as the North Carolina Conservative Project is not a registered group,
which I find interesting because I don't know that they have to be to
do polling, right, you have to you have to be registered to do
a poll, but uh, you know, people don't know who you are.
They're going to be somewhat I think dismiss him in some cases as the
poll. But it's not a hard leap that people are still mad about the
casino thing. If you saw the turnout up there in Rockingham County. And
then I saw one of Burger's guys, one of his acquaintances, intimating that,
like you know that there may be legal action out of what are you
talking about? Now here's where it gets more interesting. So one of the
people involved, according to Axios's article here in an effort, is a guy
by the name of Patrick Sebastian. And that's according to Philberger's son, who
is a Supreme Court Justice, Philberger Junior. Sebastian was a quote consultant for
Burger Junior, but Burger Junior says he fired him. Sebastian says he wasn't
fired. He was brought in for a fundraiser. He did his job and
so then it was done. There was nothing to fire him from. And
Bastian is the nephew of Pat McCrory. I told you, man, they're
like, they're like ten people who do everything, like ten families that run
this whole state. So I don't know, Yeah, I'm gonna go old
maid and kind of dig into this gossip man. I think it's interesting.
See in my conversation with Sebastian, he confirmed that he was involved in the
effort. This is a Burger Junior. He was confirmed he was involved in
an effort that he should have told me about weeks ago that he was working
under a confidentiality agreement. Do you mean the agreement or do you mean he
should have told you that he was trying to primary your dad, because I
don't know that he should have. And by the way, I don't got
beef with Burger Junior, or really I mean Burger only in the sense that
I wish there's things they would do, and I think the Medicaid DI spansion
was an active cowardice, But I don't have personal beef with them. Sebastian
declined to comment on his involvement and not say whether he was the polster,
though he is a partner in a polling firm. So, yeah, lots
of little juicy nuggets there, and you know something will come to a head
because there is a deadline fast approaching to get everybody you know filed for whatever
office they're running for. So the idea that the two leaders in North Carolina
politics and really the leadership of the state. The two the potential that both
of them could be gone next year. That's interesting because you know, Tim
Moore is leaving, but Burger, as far as everyone knew, was sticking
around. Now who knows, Maybe it's all bs. I don't know,
but that would that would make things very very interesting. Yeah, Tim Moore,
Tim Moore already announced, and they've already hand selected, uh you know,
who's who's going to be the guy to uh replace him from a leadership
standpoint. But you know, if you have both Burger and more out,
I, you know, I could fundamentally change things. Deston Hall, by
the way, who is likely likely to move into a that leadership. I
I met him once. I actually I was at the Capitol Grille and who
was who was the lawmaker? Oh it was Jason Sane, who who listens
to the shows sometimes and I and I went over to say hello to Jason,
or Jason came over to say hello to me, and he said,
hey, come on back, and that that's I met Deston Hall one time
because he was sitting at a table back for all they were but I don't
have a read. We didn't talk about politics, and then I didn't even
eat or anything. I just had a drink and left. But yeah,
so but no, it could be could be very interesting if that happens.
So, yes, I want to talk to Sam Page, so I'm dispatching
any of our minions in Rockingham County that work in the Sheriff's department there.
Let him know, and Ross texted him too, so I'm sure he's aware.
He probably don't want to talk about it, but come on, man,
let's have a little conversation. You could play koy. It's okay because
I think that there are a lot of people, not just in Rockingham County
who are you know, looked at things like the Medicaid expansion and some other
stuff and maybe feel that it's time for a change. But the flip side
of that is more and Burgers seem to have these plates spinning man and have
been able to accomplish pretty much whatever they wanted. That's why it's all lawsuit
city over everything, because the actual route of going through the legislature is not
something that Democrats are successful with. They can't even keep their party together with
people leaving. So yeah, yeah, little little something something going on there.
I thought it was interesting, all right, well, hopefully calls.
For the end of the show, we'll take a break. We got cow
news. It's so horrible. It's horrible, but it does raise questions and
much more coming up. Casey O Day Radio program that show. After the
show, he's on the iHeart Radio app. Search case O Day for the
podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All right, good morning, it is
eight darn near eight twenty two, creeping up on that. Oh boy,
oh boy, oh boy. All right. I got a few things going
on, not the least of which is I'm telling you man, if I
if I I only had a Swami hat because boil boy, could I have
told you where this was going. So if you remember, one of the
one of the things early on in the Biden administration that they talked about increasing
is compassionate release, which is pretty prominent in many, many, many countries.
We do some of it here but not to the same extent. But
in reality, what it really seemed to be focused on is compassionate release of
federal prisoners. But typically they were prisoners who were not cis, white males,
if you get the gist. But you know, pretty standard. Hey,
here's a little something I can do, and remember the dam broke when
Obama started doing this and they released Remember they released thousands of prisoners, all
right, So among those and we were told they were not releasing Island prisoners.
Right. Well, one of the people who was released last year is
a guy by the name of Markham David Bond, who had received a sentence
of forty six years in federal prison. Why because from nineteen eighty five to
nineteen ninety five he was a bank robin armor car robin maniac and he did
dozens and dozens of robberies, got away with a whole crap ton of money
before eventually getting nabbed in ninety five, getting the forty six year sentence,
and after serving twenty six years, somehow was pushed into this compassionate release.
He's sixty now and in the testimony provided at the time of the release,
because he had to go to the committee and explain why he does not appear
to have any sort of illness, just that he is quote, he's sixty
now, and you know he's not as spry as he used to be,
and he should be released, and so what do you think. Of course
they did, Yeah, absolutely, yeah, granted early release. He again
not terminally ill, argued quote that he is sixties and he's turning sixty,
is in fragile health and no longer a danger to community. All right.
So that's so it was last year they made the argument, and this year
they granted him early release. Because it's government. Everything takes time. So
what do you think the first thing he decided to do when they released him
from prison? He got out and he volunteered at a soup kitchen. A
right, turned his life around, wants to give back? Yeah, so
he robbed an armor, Oh yeah, and he donated the money to his
soup kitchen. Right, Well, I don't think so. According to the
folks who arrested him, this is in LA because that's where you go to
rob banks. According to UH officials, they found nine thousand dollars, which
was roughly what he got, which I think they're more than an armored car.
I guess he robbed the courier in the car and that's what he got,
UH stuffed into a mini fridge, right, and the mini fridge though,
that was why do you want to do sup kitchen for the children?
It was his girlfriend's apartment and it was not alone. Was there soup in
the apartment. Was it in a kitchen in the middi fridge? Why would
you have soup? No, there was a forty caliber block shape. Yeah,
that is I mean nothing. He's a pale rider. Right, he's
a preacher. You're going to be a preacher and have a gun. He's
not a preacher. He's a bank robber and not a very good one.
Apparently he's off his game. It looks like he was unfamili with the tech
of the day two, which is how he got caught. Yeah, things
have changed, buddy, It gets out, It gets out. He did.
He didn't just do one thing. He at gunpoint rob banks and armored
cars for ten years, completely rehabilitated. Absolutely. You think he did on
purpose to go back with it like a shawshank redemption. You know, Brooks.
You know what though it's called the turn, was the tur I learned
this tour, it's called jailing right where you get this mental thing going on
where you crave the order and you fear the outside. And that's what was
demonstrated with Brooks. It's Brooks, I don't think so, because he actively
was trying not to get caught. He's just stupid. He should well I
shouldn't say stupid. He got away with it for ten years. He's just
bad at it now. You know what he's like. You know, he's
like that quarterback who's been out of the league for five years who's like,
I'll come I'll come back and do that. You just you don't have it
anymore, buddy. It's okay, it's okay to admit that now. He
allegedly held the driver at gunpoint as one of the employees got out of the
armored truck with a blue Duffel bag filled with the cash. That's so,
that's where he's got the nine thousand and the brinch guard dropped the bag and
then basically both of them fled the area. They weren't He wasn't able to
get into the truck, but he got the bag. Um. The problem
was is he, I guess didn't realize that they have cameras and stuff on
trucks now, uh, pretty high quality stuff because oh he's a Raiders fan,
because he's got a Raiders hat on. So there you go. There's
that as well. But yeah, forty caliber pistol, nine K in cash
and he'll be arrained next week. But they're holding him on zero bail in
LA, which is actually kind of impressive to not have bail there. So
uh wah, that didn't work out. I for one am shocked, absolutely
shocked, all right, And Roz I scanned the whole article and I controlled
f and there's no mention of soup anywhere. Are you craving? Super?
So this is my soup does sound good? I don't know why, probably
just because my brokera Anny Who. All right, we've got another half hour
ago k c O Day radio program. We got to talk Lebron James.
I know, I know, I know, but unfortunately it is coming up.
Thank you. Case is on ninety four w pt I on the Triad
and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, nothing surprises
me anymore on the Lebron James front. But if you saw it, yeah,
it raised some eyre with folks. Lebron James not playing in a basketball
game rather attending this happens to be the USC game, that's where his son
plays basketball, and so he's the he's the proud papa going and good look,
I got none of my beef that I've seen with Lebron has ever lied
with him wanting to you know, be a dad to his kids. He
seems to be very actively involved, so good for him. That being said,
when you stroll in, even if you're strolling in a little late,
which happens right at a sporting event, and the national anthem's going, well,
how do most people handle that? They kind of start participating, right,
and by participating, like if you're walking in through the tunnel, most
people, once they're in there and can see the flag, will stop,
even if they don't put their hand over their heart, they'll stop, and
and and for the remainder of it, there you go, and not so
much here with lebron as you watch him stroll in, talk to a couple
of people real quick, say something to his kid, sit down courtside baby,
Yeah, front road seats, which you know he's got the cash,
all right. See you get the gist of it. And so some people
shockingly found that disrespectful because the entire stadium at that point and the players are
standing at attention during the national end. Nobody's even taken a knee that I
could see. Roster, you see anyone taking a knee? I didn't se
anyone's even taking a knee. So apparently we're not doing that. No,
but you do have like people like looking at Lebron like, what are you
doing? Bro? Well, they're looking at Lebron one because it's Lebron.
But the other thing there's a certain part though, where like there it's obviously
he's sitting down and not you know, giving a flip and people are looking
at him like what yeah, yeah, what are you doing? Man?
Uh? So that obviously caused people to lose their their minds when you can
sit that at the very least, even if you think things are wrong,
you have to think some things are right. Considering you were able to get
a billion dollars in this country, so you know that's probably a good thing.
Obviously, inherent talent and his drive for basketball is going to factor into
that. But this, this situation has to exist, and that situation is
US and America and that's the reason people are beating their brains out to get
here. Man. Well, another athlete saw that Colby Covington MMA fighter,
And if you know anything about Covington, he's kind of an outspoken guy and
he is definitely a Trump fan. So yesterday was a preview press conference ahead
of I guess this wee is it? Saturday. I guess it's Saturday fight.
I'd have to look, my brain's all whacked because I'm just sturring at
vacation and we'll largely pay attention to other stuff. But so, as part
of that press conference, he had a few thoughts on the Lebron issue.
If you hate America so much and you don't like this country that gave you
a billion dollars, leave it or come deal with me. You go to
China, go to go to these sweat shops that you employ all these laborers
and use these women and pay him pennies on the dollar to make your millions.
You the drum jams, your coward, your spineless cow in your so
I don't know, I'm I'm I guess so I mean a little, a
little koy. I'm not exactly sure how Covington feels on the issue, right
I think he might be. Dude, raise your hand if you want to
see Kobe Covington and Lebron James fight and the octagon with the gloves, with
the officials. We're gonna make a sport out of this. You know,
screw the boxer crossover stuff. Let's get Lebron James and Lebron James is far
larger than Colbe Covington, so he's gonna have a definitive size advantage. Obviously
wingspan is uh is significantly more. So let's do this, man. I'm
down for that. The Covington's funny man because he gives zero everyone over in
the MMA over and excuse me UFC seems to give zero f's, including well
and that you know, some of that comes from leadership, obviously, with
Dana White talking about advertisers calling and go, I don't know if you should
do this, and he's like, well, I don't need your money,
pound sand loser, except you said it more aggressively, so yeah, but
yeah, that So that was, yeah, a rather classless move right there,
which is too bad. I mean, he was just winning hearts and
minds, mostly because I hadn't seen him do anything real scummy in a while,
so and I think maybe people were like, oh, well, he's
get into the end of his career and all of that. But way to
reignite that, man, Way to reignite that in the same way that people,
by the way, do you what is it rossa that people are calling
in they think today's our last day on the air. Is that what's happening?
Yeah? No, I've had so many people calling in today. Even
Jamal called in. He was like, hey, you know today's your last
day, right, have a merry Christmas. I'm like, no, we
have like one more day. Lift. It's happened numerous time. Probably are
you calling the audience a liar? I would never do that. I mean
I wouldn't want to do that. You just stated you wouldn't want to do
that. I feel horrible. We're gonna have to take tomorrow? Will I
feel like we have no choice? Man, Never violate the expectations of your
listeners, right, remember that, I've said it on the air before.
I can't believe I did this. Oh I feel awful. You know what,
You're suspended for a day. Oh no, yeah, okay, see
what, let me get a calendar here. Tomorrow. You're suspended tomorrow tomorrow.
And you know what, as as as as somebody who was present for
this, this this crime upon the listeners, I may have to suspend myself
too, right, that's only gonna have you have to Yeah, I mean
accountability is important to us, so we would so yesterday tomorrow was gonna be
our Christmas Palooza show. Yeah, playing Ross is there's seventy two Christmas trees
in the two between the two studios. It's like walking into a thick forest.
You can't even see the board. You have to feel around for the
controls. It's uh engineering. It's like the SAP's gonna get out of the
boy shut up? What oh, come on Christmas? You know what.
That's job security for them. Now they get to clean SAP out of all
the equipment, you know what. And by the way, for the board
in my studio, SAP would probably make it work better because the buttons,
that's so bad. All the button lights are broken. That's true. There's
like seven buttons on this board, like the cube button not to get like
two inside baseball. But when they hit it, they like they pop off
the board, they just pop off. Put some SAP in there, bad.
Absolutely, SAP would solve that problem. SAP is SAP is nature super
glue. Man, it's amazing stuff. So there we go. Now,
Honestly, you walk out of one of the studios right now, you smell
like you've been drinking gin all morning. So it's good cover for me.
Ross doesn't really, but for me it's a fanto im like, no,
I did not drink an entire bottle of tank Ray leave me alone. So
anyway, but now it's all for not so all right? Well, I
hate to violate only because we'll probably get yelled at my management, but I
think we're gonna have to do the show tomorrow. So but yeah, so
tomorrow. Don't worry. Race agent for the Weather Channel. He's here tomorrow
as well. Right, No, yes, yeah, ok, I'm actually
here, believe it or not. All of next week. I couldn't.
I couldn't get Monday off, can you believe? Dude? I don't even
want to hear it from you. I don't even want to hear it.
I'm just gonna say, and maybe I don't care if I get any better
trouble. I know people in your tree that are actually off tomorrow and their
vacation starts tomorrow. Not gonna mention any names, but would they say,
would they be more more of our westerly side of our tree? Yes,
they would be good the western side of the Yeah. Well, what are
you gonna do? Yeah? Absolutely, And it's uh, you know,
great weather for it the next few days Sunday, forget it, just just
plan on being indoors. You are going to the Panthers game, It's gonna
be even uglier because of the rain and the wind is gonna have everything that's
gonna sound and look like a tropical system. Gusty winds, rain, heavy
rain, even some flooding possible across the southeast, including central and western North
Carolina with multiple inches of rain possible and and uh gusty wins. But until
then, it's a lot of sunshine today and Tomorrow and Saturday Saturday, with
a warming trend near fifty today, maybe close to sixty for Friday and Saturday.
Most of us will stay probably between fifty four and fifty eight. Overnight
lows will still be chilly, up twenties, low thirties, and then into
the forties over the weekend for the nighttime hours in that rain and near sixty
on Sunday, with showers Monday Tuesday, mainly early Tuesday. So the bulk
of the rain coming in on Sunday. And I'm going forty to seventeen Dallas.
Oh oh no, no, no, no oh. You don't know
what happened, do you? No? I don't, oh ros And I
made a deal. Okay, yeah, you're screwed man. Why because Rows
and I made a deal because the Vikings actually play Saturday, they're one of
the three Saturday games because we're thing right, And the deal was I'm gonna
Vikings are gonna beat the Bengals for ros and then they're gonna handle you ladies
for me. So yeah, that's gonna be up. Though I don't know
if I changed my quarterback out just because they're playing Dallas. I think I
got to go for the points, you know, Josh Allen has I mean,
not with who's the Jared Goff Sorry, Jared Goff is for uh Detroit?
Isn't it golf? Yeah? I can'try. Yeah, I'm so confused.
Okay, I don't see what you're doing. Well use a few times
and I'm just yes, I did, I did, I got them.
That's why it's not gonna matter. And and we're gonna do it with our
third string because we benched Dobbs already. I saw that. Well, so
you're kind of Switzerland on this. Where do you go? I'm not Switzerland
at all. You're in the NFC. Sorry, you're in the NFC's so
you don't even know you're not taking a side no, yeah, you need
us to be Yeah, I need you to lose. You're in the NFC.
It's not impersonal, are they kind of over all the way on the
right on the television screen that says in the hunt? They are in the
hunt? Yes they are. And unfortunately, if the Eagles win the division,
which they could still obviously, then you'll be in the hunt too,
or you'll be in the WOWD card and so yeah, well right now to
the Cowboys. So they've got the tiebreaker. The Eagles have the tiebreaker.
So there you go. All right, there you good back tomorrow? Yep,
yep, yep. Joan Donagher is in for Jeff. She'll join us
next. Hang on. This is one O six one FM Talk in the
Triangle and News Talk ninety four to five w PTI and the Triad. All
right, good morning, it is eight fifty three Bloomberg Update. Now Joan
Doniger and today Joan. What's happy? Well case. There is a lot
of talk about how this holiday shopping season might look more gray than green,
But November retail sales came in with a strong surprise. They rose three tenths
of a percent last month, when economists thought they'd drop a tick, and
even if you take cars in gasoline out of the mix, they still rose
more than a half percent, six tenths of a percent. Their economists figure
there would only be a sl light uptick. But we're not spending on luxury
items, at least we didn't last month, according to credit card information from
Barclays. Reuter says that showed spending on luxury goods was down fifteen percent in
November over last November, and less say it doesn't signal a strong holiday season.
But one asset manager says the US consumer will keep being reasonable and retailers
are just going to have to adjust. There's a new vaccine on the market,
one developed by Moderna and Mrk. This could be a game changer for
people with severe skin cancer. This personalized vaccine in a study helped prevent the
recurrence of that cancer for three years. Patients with severe melanomas who got it
and Merk's cancer drug key trude Oh were forty nine percent less likely to die
or have their cancer return than those treat it with just key Trudah. And
you can addact Metafast to the list of companies now adding weight loss drugs such
as Wigovy to their diet arsenals. Now Jones says Metafast traditionally used coaches and
locale shakes and bars, but now well, it's investing twenty million dollars in
Life MD. It's a telehealth company providing access to doctors and nurse practitioners who
can prescribe the drugs and case it turns out that Oprah is using them.
She told People magazine she is taking weight loss medication for what she calls a
maintenance tool. She didn't say which drug, but she is a board member
and shareholder of weight Watchers, which also included prescriptions for weight loss drugs alongside
It's count Your Points plan. Did you did you see the Drew Barrymore interviewing
her? Did you no? No? So Drew Barrymore is interviewing Oprah the
other day and she's holding her hand and stroking her arm the whole time,
and Oprah's trying to pull away. And so if Oprah had left a little
weight on, she might have been able to overtake her, but fortunately she
has had to sit there and put up with it. So all right,
well, you know, maybe that's a benefit of weight loss, or you
know, the drawbacks of it rather I heard the drawbacks are more for the
sewer systems in those areas. So yeah, yeah, it's not good stuff.
But we can revisit this tomorrow if it's still in the news. Okay,
all right, hard to you, all right, yeah, yeah,
yeah, yeah, there you go. Joan Donagher, Bloomberg News. Yeah,
Ross, did you see Drew Barrymore? Like she's and she's almost sitting
on her lap, stroking her arm and like it's the weirdest, creepiest thing.
I think everyone, and I think people in Hollywood are just so strange.
Man. It just does something to you. And like Barrymore has been
there from day one, you know, like she's never known anything else weird.
I didn't put in the stack, but I thought it was weird.
You know what else is weird? So Boston Paul just sent me the Robert
Kraft story. Did he not know about this? You're you're a Patriots fan,
sir, So if you don't know, there's a report that came out
that said that Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, this has already
decided that Belichick's out, and he made the decision in week ten after the
Patriots lost to the Colt and then a couple other parts that rumor one that
the reason he hasn't just eighty six to them is because he might want to
trade him. Yeah, so that's weird. I guess. I don't know
you guys are willing to trade for Belichick there ross, I mean he could
be. He could be like Joe Brady's assistant, like our offensive coordinator.
By the way, you can trade for coaches, it's just almost never done.
I think John Gruden was traded. I had no idea you could do
that. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, but then twice a year,
wouldn't you think he might try to sabotage you? Yeah? So I
feel like you just need it. You don't need that potential in your locker
room. The dude, who is it? Jared Mayo, I think,
is who they were saying. So Mayo played for Pats and I think he's
their linebacker coach, but also so kind of runs the defense, which is
interesting to not be the DC but have those duties. So we shall see.
But yeah, yeah, apparently the end is nigh, so maybe we
can get him for Maybe it could be our new quarterback. I don't know
what else we're gonna do, right, now, man, they're so screwed.
And finally, just because I love to end a show like this,
a farmer said he knew somebody was getting in and messing with his calves.
He's a cow calf operation and if he found a couple of them dead and
the others quote acting weird, So he put up surveillance equipment and formed a
plan with his wife and kids that the next time an intruder's in there,
it would trip a silent alarm and they would go in and surround the intruder.
And they did, and he was pantiless behind one of the calves.
And now he's very sorry. My question is what happened to those two dead
calves? These guy's got some that And part of the sentence apparently is one
hundred and fifty hours of unpaid labor that he owes the farmer. Why what's
he What are you gonna have the guy do on the cow caf operation?
You don't want him anywhere near there. Oh my goodness,
