Remember, all right, I can courting everybody else seventh year on a c
O Kay radio program. Sorry, I just noticed the race age of Gramma.
Oh man, I bet that's gonna be a happy be Forecastle later.
I don't know why I skipped over that when I was looking at my emails
earlier. This morning, the stage's supposed to have the day off. He
sends an email yesterday afternoon. Haha, I have the day off. Here's
who's filling in, and then I And then this morning, I guess somebody
got sick and he's here and he doesn't sound real happy in the email.
So all right, well we'll figure out what's up. I'm sure it'll be
plenty pleasant. But it's Friday, so you know, hey, that's a
good thing. We like it, if only for this week to I don't
say come to an end, because you know the crap will continue into the
weekend. But if only there we go, If only so I don't have
to screw it this stupid computer for like two days, that'd be amazing.
All right, So yesterday was crazy easy, We'll just said Congress home for
a couple of days. Yesterday was crazy, man, This whole week's been
weird. So it's I mean, who's in power matters in the sense that
you got to watch the Dog and Pony Show. And when you're in charge,
you chair the committees, which means you set the agenda within the committees.
And yesterday pretty interesting. Basically you have FBI whistleblowers set to testify that
kicked off right in the morning, which means, obviously, that's not it.
That's not a thing that would have happened when Dems are still running the
House. Obviously, now that the Durham reports out, the Republicans are in
charge, these are the committee hearings are going to get and that means that
the quote unquote ranking member and team i e. The Democrats, their job
is to decimate whoever the whistleblower is. And then the media's job who wrote
these scathing articles? When Republicans question a whistleblower, how dare you? These
are brave people, You're you're you're literally putting them in danger. For the
media, your job is to just ignore all of that crap you said and
talk about how shameless it is the Republicans are doing. And the media did
their job, so good on them. They were one hundred percent never mind
that you have a now out of work black man whose family literally was pushed
to the brink of bankruptcy the FBI and retaliation seems to have withheld withheld his
paychecks, and who had a security clearance initially revoked for quote showing sympathies two
individuals involved in January six? What were those sympathies? Attempting to delineate reasons
according to him, right, but attempting to question the idea that every single
person who was at the capitol that day was a violent insurrectionist, you know,
wanting to actually go through and determine what everyone was up to. Right?
Were they? Were they people who were sitting there and beating police officers
with flagpoles where you literally watched the body cam and hear them screaming, and
you know, pray that somebody whacked the people doing it in the head with
a brick because I'm human. Or were they what looks like a senior tour
bus wandering in through a door that had been opened that police are standing next
to and filming with their jitterbug phones in the entryway there? Right? Can
we agree those are two different people? So when apparently somebody within the FBI
wanted to make that assertion. They were deemed sympathetic, had their security clearance
revoked, and no doubt that escalated to where we are today. So the
former FBI agent, his name is Marcus Allen. This testimony was bonkers,
and it was mostly bonkers because of everybody's got their part to play when you're
the when you're the attacked person here right when you're the side who's trying to
knock down the whistle blower, and that's fine. You should question whistle blowers.
You should question any witness in there who's making, you know, big
assertions. I mean, you got it's not personal thing, right, when
did you stop hitting your wife? Kind of stuff? But you should question
what they're doing. There were plenty of quote unquote whistleblowers that I saw come
forward during Trump where obviously you weren't going to have the media do due diligence.
You want another backstory, and perhaps once you know the backstory, you'll
you'll go, you'll you'll question the credibility of Marcus Allen or any other whistle
blower. This sounds like a guy who you know, this happened, then
this happened, and he sounds like he's trying to get revenge just in or
just the same way you were evaluating all these women were coming out with the
Cavanaugh like, oh wait a sec. She doesn't remember any of this stuff
or where it was or what it was, and none none of the people
are right, like these are the things you dig into and you try to
determine credibility, and so everybody gets a little nugget handed off to him on
the committee who's the opposition and I don't know, apparently Representative Linda Sanchez got
the crazy card because I'm gonna play you some audio from her, but um,
there's some pretty scary stuff that was testified to yesterday, Like um,
and uh, if if the media is not running this down like all day
today and every day until they get answers, I don't know what the hell
they're doing. One of the one of the one of the crazy claims yesterday,
I don't mean crazy and like the person's crazy, but the crazy claims
that, um, it really like we really needed to get into this is
a claim that banking records, prioritized banking records were handed over to federal law
enforcement, and the dj NO warrant just they asked for him Bank of They
claimed Bank of America did that. I know right. The FBI allegedly obtained
financial records of US customers with Bank of America without any legal process. Shame
on the FBI, but arguably more shame on Bank of America just poning that
stuff up. If that's true. How there's not a giant class action lawsuit
right now putting them out of business is beyond me? And are you ready
for this? Not only that, but they prioritized the delivery of the records
by sorting anybody who was in the field of requested records who had used their
Bank of America account to purchase a firearm, and then basically created a whole
Hey, here's the leaderboard stack. So Bank of America went through this matters
because what they did is they themselves Apparently they didn't just turn over bulk data
without a warrant, which is horrible. And again this is what's alleged,
But they went through the trouble over Bank of America to sort all this stuff
out for the FBI and list individuals who had made transactions. Basically, here's
for the parameters in DC, Maryland, Virginia with a Bank of America credit
or debit card in the first few days of January of twenty twenty one.
Okay, that's that's one part of this. And then secondly they also sorted
for any individuals who would use their Bank of America products to purchase a firearm.
Those files were elevated to the top of the list by Bank of America
at request of the FBI. So they did there, they did their sorting
for him too. Oh these people here, because you know, any of
these any of these transactionary codes, they they don't just design what they like.
It's it's based on a matching of the Federal firearms records as well as
the transaction numbers or the um and says the virchant numbers within the credit cards.
So you can go to let's say you went to Cabella's or Bass Pro
shops and maybe he didn't buy a gun. So they're gonna square that information
with you know, Federal Firearms background request on that date, dollar amount,
Boom, there you go. So by Bank of America is sorting that out
for any merchants that do sell firearms, which they keep records of that stuff.
The FBI has a really easy time of looking at that. But they
did their work for them and it doesn't sound like they were warrants involved.
I don't know how that's legal. So if that's true, that's that needs
to be where everybody's spending their time to do not everybody, but a lot
of time today. That's chilling, man, but we do. I gotta
play some audio for you from the attempt to takedown of the whistleblower by one
Representative Sanchez h freshly purpled hair, very nice by the way. You love
the purple tips. You know what. It'll speak for itself and we'll do
it coming up next. You're on the case O Day Radio program celebrating ten
years and still going strong. Thank you. Casey is on nine four five
WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, good morning, and welcome back at his six twenty three.
You're on the case O Day Radio program. So former FBI agent and whistle
blower Marcus Allen testify before Congress yesterday, and obviously he's got it. He's
got a lot of observations. Um, he's either a guy who depending on
I guess what you think of his credibility and which I you know, where
you are politically on this stuff, I guess because that doesn't form the way
we view things. Um, yeah, there's a guy. He might have
been the only guy in the FBI sitting. They're going, you know what,
this is wrong? What the hell are we doing all that stuff?
You saw the John Durham stuff. Or they're just starting investigations based on the
request of the Clinton campaign or the inability to distinguish the difference between various individuals
who may have been near or and or in the US capital on January sixth
to ask those relevant questions, or he's you know, he's he's a maga
freak, albeit a minority maga freak, which I think extra incenses Democrats when
somebody's not one hundred percent with him. But what got comical is when California
rebe Linda Sanchez was doing her part to tear into this dude, and we
had this really awkward exchange so that the premises she saw a Twitter account,
and in the Twitter account, which the handle was at marcus A nine seven
zero five or six four or five. And if there's one thing you can
trust, it's Twitter handle with a gobbly goook of numbers at the end of
it. Right, that's exactly those are Those are the accounts with the maximum
credibility. Now, before I go on, why do you think that is?
Because when you go and you sign up for Twitter, and let's say,
you say my name is Marcus Allen, as this person did, and
you want Twitter to literally generate you a handle, a name, that's how
they'll do it. So it'll come back with a variation of what you say
your name is, and then a bunch of numbers after. Because it's generating
something for uniqueness, and because your handle, while it is important, ultimately
isn't what people read on the display. They read what you wrote. So
when you go to that Twitter account, it says Marcus Allen, but the
at it will be Marcus A nine to seven number, number number number right.
Okay, So with that in mind, she saw this account, that
account apparently was, you know, saying bad things about Nancy Pelosi or right,
another account was, and this one ld it, and so she's decided
this guy's name is Marcus Allen. I'll bet that's his account. Let me
spend a valuable investigative. I'm having this exchange right here, mister Allen,
Have you ever used Twitter? Yes? Or no? I have utilized Twitter?
Yes, okay? And is your account at Marcus A ninety seven zero
five zero six four five That is absolutely not my account. Okay, that's
not your account. Well. On December fifth, twenty twenty two, an
account under the name Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, that is not
my account, ma'am. You haven't let me finish the question, sir,
because you have a question on and the time is mine. On December fifth,
twenty twenty two, an account under the name of Marcus Allen retweeted a
tweet that said, quote Nancy Pelosi stage January sixth, retweet if you agree
end quote? Do you agree with that statement? Yes or no? That
is I don't know, ma'am. That's not my account at all. I'm
asking whether you agree with that statement yes or no? Can you please rephrase?
Yeah you staged January sixth. I just want him to influencers. But
yes, oh, it's got a it's got It's just Marcus Allen right here.
It's obviously you and not archstral and the football player or the other NFL
player, because there's two of them ones in the Hall of Fame, then
one uh place from the Steelers, right though, uh there's also Marcus Allen,
the R and B singer Should I should I go on? Okay,
but but hold on, wait till you hear we'll weep out. Hang on
celebrating ten years of keeping you connected. This is ninety four five w PTI
and the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk and the Triangle. All
right, raise your hand if your extra exhausted today because somebody had to play
a six hour hockey game yesterday? What the f I admit I didn't make
it all the way through, but holy crap, no man, I tapped
out about I tapped out. As they're like, oh, let's get ready
for the fourth overtime. I just rolled over. I'm like, and I'm
done. What what craziness yesterday? Holy cow? I was watching a little
of the basketball, but yeah, no over the hockey was a little slow
watching the background. Basketball gets done, but the hockey on. It's two
two. Anybody at the game last night or at the match last night,
and you're up already this worrying. What a week for sports in North Carolina.
I know we're not a quote unquote sports station. But it's Friday,
so deal with it. Like, I'm also curious, anybody head up to
Wilkesboro, how did that go? I'm jealous. I bet that was.
I bet that was. How did the track look? I haven't seen it,
so so we'll take spy reports on both of those because it's Friday,
and that's what we do. So anyway, I was telling you about telling
you about the whistleblower testimony and the cross examination by Representative Sanchez to former FBI
agent Marcus Allen, because she went on Twitter and there's a Twitter account,
although it's one with a bunch of numbers at the end of the handle,
so it's super legit. And she said, well, that says Marcus Allen.
His name is Marcus Allen. Obviously it's him, and this weird exchange.
And mister Allen, have you ever used Twitter? Yes? Or no?
I have utilized Twitter, Yes, okay. And I want to point
out that when I watched this initially, I assumed it was going to be
one of those where she Perry masoned him right where you you know, you
asked, Hey, is this is this you? Oh? No, that's
not me, and and then you put out the tweet that's the one that
you want to make a point about in this case of the Nancy Pelosi tweet,
which will hear in a moment, and then you get him to deny
it on the record, and then you go, well, that's weird because
look at this other series of tweets that speaks to specifically, and then you
know something where there's some identifiable information and then you make them kind of explain
that away. That's how you that's how you torpedo somebody's credibility. But she
didn't do that. She's just like that, says Marcus Allen. His name's
Marcus Allen. Sounds legit, And is your account at marcus A nine seven
zero five zero six four five. That is absolutely not my account. Okay,
that's not your account. Well. On December fifth, twenty twenty two,
an account under the name Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said, that
is not my account. Ma'am, you haven't let me finish the question,
sir football player. You haven't let me finish the question on this end,
the time is mine. On December fifth, twenty twenty two, an account
under the name of Marcus Allen retweeted a tweet that said quote Nancy Pelosi stage
January sixth, retweet if you agree end quote? Do you agree with that
statement? Yes or no? That is I don't know, ma'am. That's
not my account at all. I'm asking whether you agree with that statement,
yes or no. Can you please rephrase this? Dyeah? Do you think
staged January sixth, I just want him to answer answer. I just telling
your time zone. Just I mean, just by the way, here's the
here's the failure on the part of the Republican representatives. This is slightly tongue
in cheek if I am one of the Republicans on that committee while this insanity
is going on, I'm on Twitter right now signing up for my new Linda
Sanchez eight three seven one two account, and you would not believe what I'm
saying, right, And then when it's my time, I'm like, well,
this is weird. I was on this account Linda Sanchez seventy eight two
one seventy nine or whatever. Did you tweet the John Fetterman and Joe Biden
are like a cornucopia because there are a couple of vegetables. Says right here,
you did just to highlight the stupidity of all that. But that's the
thing, now, that's that's the thing you wanted to do. And by
the way, there's other people named Linda Sanchez, and there's sherifs Hell a
bunch of other Marcus Allens. These people are absolute lunatic. Oh wow,
oh wow, Okay, this just sent to me Ross. Is your account
hoss raise at eight three seven, one nine two? And did you tweet
the following dear Olive Garden, tuscan more like tuss can't one out of ten
is that. It's definitely not me. My Berner account is a moss May's
by the way, so what moss Mays? Wow? What's this? Oh
wait, hold on, are you? Are you a Moss Mays one seven,
nine two. I'm definitely not. I'm Hoss Laze what chips chips?
Oh wow, So you didn't tweet did Godfather three number one? Because that's
a really no no, that would be a horrible tage says right here.
So all right, so we'll have to look into that. There crack research
team on it. No, it's serious. It actually screw the rep doing
it. If I was Marcus Allen, the FBI guy, I would literally
do that while she's still talking to me, you know what I'm saying,
Just be like, oh my gosh, you're not gonna believe what I'm seeing
right here. That's why I shouldn't be anywhere near congressional testimony. Be a
jerk about it, but yeah, just sheer stupidity. And again, the
big takeaway is not that stupid exchange. If you think it's him, do
something to prove it's him, because it would undermine his credibility right there if
he's lying about stuff like that. But banks sitting there and not only just
turning over your records to FBI officials without any warrants. And they're not the
only company that we've seen examples of this. Some phone companies have been pretty
helpful but also doing the sorting for him. There's gonna be some lawyers elevating
and they should be just everything is so messed up, so messed up.
And again, once you feel once enough people feel that the rule of law
is nothing anymore, that's when bad stuff happens. And I'm all I want
is to not have bad stuff happen. I don't want people's businesses burned down
because they think the police are not you know, are not policing in an
equal manner. And whether you think it's from a racial standpoint or an ideological
standpoint, it's the same. Beef all right, eight eight, eight,
nine, three, four, seven, eight seventy four. We got all
sorts of Florida news today. We gotta get to I do think the logic
on the Disney stories interesting. Will check that out because a few a few
things that seemingly weren't weren't included in the thought process of the articles that I
read. Also, Oh this is great, where is this? This is
such? This is the most government story man, So good on this guy
Matt Lee, who is who is a who is the diplomatic writer for Associated
Press. I've seen a few things with him. He's got it's really interesting
to watch him ask questions. He because he covers the State Department pressers,
so you have obviously have the main White House press briefing, and they're really
the number two one in Washington is the State Department beef beat. And so
he's on there and he's just he kind of trolls whoever it is, and
he seemingly is pretty good at trolling regardless of political background. Although I have
seen some stuff where you could tell there's the there is bias the way that
he reports that being said, if he if he doesn't feel he's getting what
he wants from you during the press briefing, there's there's really interesting exchanges.
And he happened to ask some questions about pronouns to the spokeshole over at the
State Department. His name is Vedanta Patel, and he did so because he
noticed that during the course of work, he every time he gets an email
from somebody who works at the State Department, their pronouns are in there,
which is not unusual. There are because I get a lot of press releases.
There are places now where employees, especially communications employees, who semi press
releases is right in the header. And I'm sure you all have run into
it in the business world, and it's you know, it's involuntary as a
company policy. What is it? But Matt Lee noticed something else that all
these State Department emails that are showing up add pronouns, and he determined that
they were mandatory. But he also knows some of these folks, and he
noticed that he would get an email from somebody he knew who was a dude
who clearly identifies as a guy, except the pronouns in the email header said
he, you know, she, her or they them, And Lee,
wanting to properly include pronouns in a story he was writing, would send send
a message back to the employee going, hey, I'm gonna quote you.
Are your pronouns they them, and they're like, no, no, they're
not. It's mandatory and the whole system's broke. So they're putting the wrong
pronouns in. Yeah, so Lee asked about this. It's not an optional
thing, but because it's a government thing, it doesn't work. So State
department employees are sending emails out this is this is clown level stuff, and
these are people handled diplomacy. Okay, but they did the system's not right.
So they mandated that we have to have the pronouns in everything, as
we're so woke. Good for us, Um, this is you know,
this is this is what Blincoln wants to do, I guess, except they
never bothered to get it right. Well, they didn't give it. Employees
the option to include it, and they didn't get any of it right.
So you have emails going out, and remember you have emails going out to
people who are of other cultures. These are state department people, other cultures
who don't play this pronoun game. And you're putting yourself at a disadvantage,
and and you look incompetent when you're whoever's talking to them, and you have
to, oh, by the way, ignore the part where it says that
I prefer she her pronouns, because then they're like, well, okay,
well why does your computer system suck? So they were so they so wanted
to virtue signal that they didn't even bother to get the whole thing correct.
And of course they you know, they just deflected to well, it's important,
it's important to people be able to represent themselves and leave that. To
his credit, goes, okay, well but it's not optional, right,
it'd be one thing you're telling nobody could do it, but it's not the
case. You've forced it. But then you didn't even get it right.
And he you know, oh, we'll get back to you, we'll figure
it out. Just clown world, man, absolute clown world. Jamal,
what's up, hey, Casey. I just wanted to say this, Well,
we saw last night, well yesterday morning, but Congressman Sanchez, it
ships down like stupidity and just disgusting. This is what Democrats do. And
I've all I've been calling the show for years and I've always said the same
thing. Black people are just a major votings block for the Democrat Party.
That's it. If we're not voting for them, we're not useful. As
Some of the most racist, some of the most despicable racism you hear,
is from Democrats. These white liberal females and especially black females who are Democrats.
They Insubstanchez came out to man because this your Twitter account blah blah blah
blah blah blah. No, okay, well still have to answer for and
to me, I kind of blame Republicans Jim Johan for not stepping in because
we've seen Casey. You have covered it. How many times they nappy head,
Maxine Waters, James Brown Wig, Naxine Water or fat Giffy Magnator.
When somebody was asking a question of a witness they were still at the end,
they would end her up. They would be like the witness answer the
quest, blah blah blah. They will step in to do it for Democrats
with I agree with you, but I was thinking about just because I only
have a couple of minutes here, I'm reminded of the whole art of war
thing like that she was. She looked so stupid. I almost why would
you step in let her look dumb? You know what I'm saying, Because
here's the thing. You know what Casey, and if reporters and the media
was like you, who's gonna play it down the middle? Sometimes sometimes opinion
opinion needed sometimes being you know what you would say, lay a reporter,
I'm a commentator. But anyway, I hear you. Wait to you.
By the way, I just found this account so Jamal talking about how great
William Barber is. So I can't believe you wrote that, sir. Oh
oh. You know, look, Casey, when I was on drugs and
I was taking tranquilized of zombie drugs from San Francisco, I supported. I
supported the end of the LCP. Yeah, it is probably And I wish
I could just have a dinner with demand. I know, I hear what
you're saying, because but like, the only reason I'm doing this story this
morning is because she was allowed to ramble on and it was so sad and
so stupid. So I don't I don't know. Maybe they made a judgment.
I hear you. It's just how these people are and I'm Republicans are
flowing afterwards, but they have to get control of the committees. Democrats throw
those gavels. Every time you went to speak, they would be to the
gavel telling you silence. You know, Republicans are doing a great job to
come investing. He did a good job. These whistle blowers came for oh
fit, you're not really whistle bolls. Remember their gac colonels. Dennomenting you
playing in um curve based he was either m. Yeah, he was tapping
them all acad and everything. M. The person who came and said Donald
Pump said this about the veteran poles are here. But now this b these
people are actually being have a retaliation towards them. They actually being retaliated against.
Yeah, you're silent. Yeah no, it's there's this guy says,
essentially they withheld pay and they've attempted to have his family essentially kicked out of
where they live. So yeah, absolutely, because again there's a double standard.
You know it. I know it, but I gotta go to break
break there, Jamal. I appreciate the call this morn, sir, have
a good weekend. Okay, alright, Casey, you have a safe from
lass weekend. All right, here we go, all right, Casey O
Day Radio Program, Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four more of this insanity and yes we even we even got to get into
some Disney stuff all coming up here on the case O Day Radio Program,
near decade on the calender and celebrating ten years on the air. This is
one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and near's Talk nine four five
WPTI in the Triad. All right, sixty eight pc O Day Radio Program.
Why do you know that, sir? I mean, thank you for
that info, because now I probably would have let me pointing out that there
is a porn actress named Linda Sancho's and you would not believe what she posts
on her Twitter account. Rosamunda needs you to double check my research and we'll
look into that. But yeah, stupidity it remains. Hang U can see
are very very world program. Can we just have an article where you don't
have to have a twinge of division, very tinge of division? Or are
we just so all in on crap journalism that it's not possible anymore. This
is uh, it is from McClatchy. This is specifically I'm reading off the
the Herald Sun, but obviously they own Raleigh paper and Charlotte paper and aboutch
others and then they reprint these kinds of articles everywhere. But it says so
rather than talking about what, what is you know a story right now,
and that is the evolution of first time home buyers in high growth markets like
the Triangle is like, well, a lot of cities in North Carolina have
been or currently are, and how it can be tough when you have a
bunch of people that are all wanting to live in a particular area. Instead
they we got to approach it from a race single Only three percent of US
home buyers are black. How one NC woman beat the trend and they focus
on this. This woman, her name is Teresa Johnson. She works in
Morrisville. Had been renting an apartment in Morrisville, will short commute to work.
However, she said that the you know, landlord wanted to raise the
rent. She wanted to establish the value and so she shopped around and eventually
it was able to close. As a first time home buyer got I bought
herself a town home. It's it's actually down towards Selma, so it's a
bit of a commute, but she mostly works from home, so she's happy.
They got a smiling picture of her, and then they go in and
they start talking about the stats. Oh, here's when when we look at
buyers and what percentage different people and women make, and and it's it's harder
for black home buyers. In twenty twenty two, the typical first time HomeBuyer
getting keys to a starter home, it was thirty six years of age,
an all time high, and mostly white. And so the whole time they're
going through there and they're like, look at these numbers being so different.
What do you think's going on? Something's amiss. And I'm reading the article
and it's like, okay, So she sounds like a woman who has a
work history makes obviously whatever the necessary amount of money is seems responsible, probably
has decent credit, had cobbled together money for um, you know, to
meet the financial requirements, and lo and behold was able to go buy a
house. This should be a story that's boring and I have no intention of
reading, but you've now decided to create this quasi conspiracy theory in it.
Why is it? Why is it not an equal number of as a percentage
of this? But well, I don't know, but your implication that somehow
it's racism is battently absurd. You have nothing to prove that. Johnson,
who's single, it looks like she doesn't have a bunch of kids and I
just have any kids, So that that allows her the flexibility to probably save
at a better rate. She works at a job that she looks like she's
worked out for quite some time. That's the kind of stability they want to
look for. I mean, this is a rocket science. If those are
your qualifications, right, you make, you make enough money to pay for
it, You're able to save, you're able to be responsible, and you
have a track record of being responsible is reflected in the credit scoring. And
don't get me wrong, the credit agencies are crap and and there's all sorts
of insanity. But why don't you write an article about that? Hey,
here's what happens when you literally meet the most basic tenets of what they're looking
for. And because she's the first time HomeBuyer, she actually has more flexibility
because of the various programs that are out there, not requiring as much of
a down payment in many instances, is not requiring several things that a traditional
home buyer would. So actually, she arguably has an easier path get into
the nuances of you know, what it takes to actually go out, especially
when things are really hot on in an area and win a bid. But
man, just everything we got to approach through this And I'm just reading it
and I'm like, yeah, yeah, no, it makes that makes sense.
Also, people different people prioritize different stuff. Everything's stupid. Everything's stupid.
All right, Oh, let me grab a call here, Casey,
what's going on? Hey, I was just listening to what you were talking
about this article, and I'm curious if you think redlining has anything to do
with it, Not particularly in her case because she got a house, but
just in general, in the history or present day, do you think that
playing monstry? Sure in history in history, of course, but in present
day no, I think not at all. Look, you couldn't even make
the argument that what's what's her name? Because some people make this argument,
they say, well don't if your name is Shaniqua, don't write that on
your resume. You've seen those stories. Her name is Teresa Johnson. Right,
so if if if I'm a if I'm a seller, and my agent
says, hey, we have an offer from Teresa Johnson for you know,
five thousand over asking, right, and now I either go yes or no.
You're right, this is not this is a rocket science, man.
It's just so when you write these articles, it's defeatist, right. The
point this is a woman who looks like she meets all the most basic requirements
for it seems very excited too about a new house. Good for her,
and it's like talk talk about the you know, best practices, but instead
they're like, can you believe she was able to overcome this? And I'm
like, you mean with the wreck was a credit scoreing down payment? Yes?
Yes, I can't believe she was able to overcome this hurdle. But
well, I think the more glaring fact is that did you say three percent
four black of new hunn Bar new homeowners? Did I hear that? Right?
Then? Just a sick the typical first time home buyer, Yeah,
about sixteen percent. Here we go, about sixteen percent, okay, eighty
eight percent of the typical first time home buyer was white. Eighty eight percent
just three percent or black, a sixteen percent or hispanic and then um,
and actually the percentage is down. It used to be six percent black,
but it's changed over the last few years. So do you think that's because
people are out there discriminating against black first time home buyers? Sure? I
mean, is that what are you implying that? Do you think that that's
what it is? That that's Okay, well he's gone there. I'm not
fine. I don't know. I can't even follow what that conversation was rots
when you screened him. Is he implying that he thinks that there's discrimination within
the first time home buyer program? Okay, well, sir, you'd have
to show me what that discrimination is. I don't believe for a moment,
especially when you get into some of these government programs. Everybody's so damn woke
within the government, you think for a moment, remember we have this constant
drumbe going back to two thousand and eight that you had politicians that were beating
banks into submission to take people with lower credit scores. So, well,
that's not necessarily a race issue. It's definitely a component of what people feel
is discriminatory within the lending market because they'll argue disproportionate impact or dispirit of impact
because of socioeconomic levels. The whole thing's dumb. Write a story about,
Hey, here's what its to win in the first time home buying endeavors people.
The people who bought my m my place in Minnesota when I moved down
here, we're black. You know what. I was happy. I was
happy that somebody was willing to pay me what I was wanting for it.
Finally, that's it. And their banks seem happy too because the check cleared.
Oh man, Casey, what's I'm sorry so your phone. Are you
implying that you think that there's some big racial inscrimination component the first time HomeBuyer
programs? No, sir, not at all. What I was doing was
I was trying to see if there was any if you thought that there was
any correlation there between the history of redlining and current day. Well, maybe
part of it is because they don't have the financial backing. Maybe because whatever
the case is, do you think that played a role in it. I
wasn't implying anything. I'm I'm all for just getting information. No, I
don't I recognize the historical context there and if we were, you know,
if we were dealing with folks who faced redlining at some point. But well,
if you're first time HomeBuyer, you've not lived in a redlining environment,
right, Maybe your parents did or your grandparents did, but you didn't.
And you know, we can get in a thousand reasons, but they don't
explore any of that. They just assume that the reason those numbers are how
they are is because there's racism inherent in the system, which is what you're
required to accept if you buy into the sixteen nineteen and all the rest of
this woke garbage you have to Everything is stacked against you a thousand percent all
the time. And I'm telling you a program administered by the government, in
this case, first time HomeBuyer program, you can't just you can't just say
from go that there's discrimination built in because you don't like the way the numbers
play out. When this woman didn't, you know, didn't have any problem
meeting the most basic requirements therefore was able to buy a home. It's it's
just yeah, anyway, all right, all right, appreciate the call.
Glad we could clarify seven seventeen. I know this isn't the most exciting thing.
But it's like baked into all the reporting we do. It's like the
default position is because these numbers aren't well, they think we should they should
be, rather than going out determining why that is right. Instead like whether
it's because of a culturally, you know, people move around a lot,
right, and so they don't want to buy a home or they don't prioritize
that because when you're younger and you're black, or you're younger and you're you
know, identify as a Latin background or what like, dig into it.
You're in dicey territory, but explain it. But you can't just default,
well, it's obviously because racism unless you prove otherwise. That's like you're guilty
until you prove yourself innocent. It's just so stupid when it's easily overcome by
your own article. Oh, she had decent credit attempt payment and you know
a history of stability and they gave her a home loan. I know,
it's crazy, man, all right? Seven eighteen Hang On ten years of
News twice an hour and smart Talk all day, nine four five w PTI
in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the triangle. I
don't know that. I believe you're stupid little pole or survey or whatever.
So Pew Research just put out a pole this a survey this morning and say've
determined that the majority of Twitter users are not on Twitter anymore. What according
to Pew, they've determined that a majority, so at least fifty one percent.
Fact, let me get the numbers here. No, they're claiming sixty
one percent of us Twitter users prior to the purchase by Elon Musk are no
longer on Twitter. Do you believe that sixty one percent of Twitter's users left?
Does any Does anybody believe that? I don't. I can tell my
engagements gun through the roof. Yeah, it's hard when you're getting in the
anecdotal, but you sixty one percent would be very telling and you would notice
it. You'd be able to see things. Right. He'd be like,
where'd all my friends go? You'd be like, where all my friends go?
But even if you argue that ideologically, people who are you know,
we're like, we have a lot of people who wouldify as conservative because obviously
a lot of people are associated through listening to the station. But if you
just looked at engagement in the non political side of things. Right, if
you went over and looked at the sports engagement, the training, sports topics,
and he looked at the number of engagements that you would notice if it
was less than half, right. I think what you're getting into is you're
getting into people ff and with the system or who are virtue signaling. Call
somebody who doesn't like Elon must I don't use now, I don't use Twitter
anymore. Pust absolutely, yes, sixty percent gives me sixty not sixty one,
even though it's thirty nine percentage said they haven't. I guess the other
ones are undecided. Sixty percent said they've taken a break from Twitter. You
guys, if so, you should question your own results before publishing that.
Nobody believes that. Trust me, If that was the case, that would
be all the stories that they run, because they would, they would They
love trashing on Musk. Look at look how much they're they're talking about kittens
and blenders from yesterday. All right, Ben, whatever his bucket is from
NBC's a guy go there and I type the word cat in and I'm served
up a picture of a kitten in a blender? What what? What else?
Are you searching that's getting you kitten blender videos? And I don't believe
that that just randomly happened to you unless like you're you know, when your
other stuff you're looking at is, or you're just following people or like murder
animals, if you follow a bunch of like you know, weird free Ted
Bundy of animal kinds of people, right, Future Stiller, serial killers,
the guy who was throwing the puppies off the Britley if those are the people
you followed them. Yeah, I understand how you're getting served tap lender videos,
but wouldn't extraordinary claim to make? And now Pew Research is like now
almost everybody left. I'm not buying it. I think that would be trackable,
improvable, and not just from phone one oh six one a M Talk
and nine five w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This
is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, good morning,
everybody. It is seven thirty six here on the case O Day Radio program.
Dude, Do Dude, Dodo. All right, let's let's get some
phone calls. You got a few, and Ray stage at coming up.
Also Pete calendar at eight o five. What is this all right? Well?
Hold one, all right, Bob, Good morning, sir. What's
up? Hey, Good morning guys, A longtime listener, first time caller.
All right, well, dazzle us, sir. What's what can I
do for you? I work construction and I'm in the Tri County area a
lot drive it around it, and I have noticed an increase in eighteen wheeler
garbage trucks rolling up and down our roads. And it's just it's weird.
It's almost like something's about to happen. I don't know, it's you know,
I've lived in I've lived in Woke County now for about twenty years or
so, seeing a change a lot, but seeing all these eighteen wheel you
know what I'm talking about. Like the eighteen wheeler they have a big tar
up over the top. They're spewing garbage. Not the ones that drive around
my neighborhoods with the smashy thing on the back, No, sir, No,
sir. The ones that go up and down like your interstates and take
garbage from one dump to another dump. So where are they going? Where
they're coming from? There's this huge landfill going like continuing to grow. I
don't know when the last time you were in Holly Springs. But we're five
forty ends at Holly Springs the fifty five. There's this huge landfill there.
I mean it's massive. But they're littering our highways and working construction. You
can tell when a when a driver gets paid by the load and when the
driver gets paid by the hour. When they get paid by the load,
they're hauling butt up and down the highway. Does that make sense? When
they get paid by the hour, they're standing around smoking cigarettes and drinking coffee.
So these guys are definitely getting paid by the load because they're like blowing
my doors off up and down the belt line Highway one. Yeah, no,
no, no, I'm not super I guess I don't know exactly the
truck you're talking about, but I can envision a truck with the tarp over
the back all that good stuff, so right, and an eighteen with like
an eighteen wheeler right yeah, but with like open yeah, but like with
its trailers, like a big open version with the tops off, and then
it's a tarp covering. So are you implying that you don't think it's garbage
in there? I don't know what it is. I don't know what it
is. You know who knows Casey and I think I think you you know,
you guys could be the ones who dig into this. It could be
something a whole lot bigger. To send Ross to dig in the garden,
because I will do that, Sir, I'll send Ross to go dig in
garbage. Man, I've been maybe you have some some you know intern who's
really looking to make a name for himself for her so for themselves or Ross
query the interns right, okay, I sir, I have I don't know,
but now now I'm paranoid and I will keep an eyeball out. Um
yeah, so I I okay, you'll know them because there's plastic bags and
garbage flying out where the tarp is not secure. Well, but if you're
holding something mouse, you would want to, you know, throw some of
that out to keep appearances up. You know what I'm saying. That's true,
that's true. You know, make a little breathable room or you know,
mm hmm okay, yes, sir, all right, yeah, thanks
for the uh the call there, Um, Ross, what are you doing
tomorrow? I'm digging through the dump apparently, uh no, not the dump,
but the the the eighteen wheel. You know I'm gonna hit your ride.
I just crawled back chair side. Look how many movies where somebody's gotten
on to have and what it what it will suck is you'll go to explore
when it's there, like seated, and then like within thirty seconds, you
climbing aboard. The driver randomly show up and now you're flying down the highway
and it's a whole caper. Now you've got to climb underneath it. What
I don't understand? What? What? What do you? Is there in
order? I I I guess I haven't noticed, but all so, what
would they be hauling? Is it like the ship from flight to the navigator?
When they're driving that thing with the tarp? Is it refuge? I
know what's the rabbit I love conspiracy, sir, So I'm trying to figure
out what the rabbit hole is I'm supposed to go down. Are the trucks
being driven from Mattress Firm to Mattress Firm because you know there's that conspiracy that
that's an underground smuggling highway. I am so confused. All right, does
anybody know anything? Maybe I don't. Maybe it's just maybe just people hauling
garbage, although I don't understand why you'd be hauling from dump to dump,
right, it makes no sense. So yeah, I think the garbage is
a distraction, like they're purposefully throwing that off the truck. There they're transporting
clones, I'm sorry, or or the tanks that create the clones. So
you think, and then what they just have a few like plastic Harris Teeter
bags fly out every now, and you'd be like, there's no way they're
transporting clones. It's trash, trash bags. I'm so confused. Okay,
all right, well, all right, look at that. We got a
bunch of people calling. I'm sure we're going to get an answer right away.
Let me grab deal with that. Brian, what's up? Hey,
good morning, guys. Morning. I'm just calling. I'm calling. I
just got a couple of questions about that new Pew poll on the Twitter user
decline. And you know, I'm reminded of that Mark Twain quote, well
quote attributed to Mark Mark Twain that says there's three types of lies, lies,
damn lies, and statistics, right, And I was just wondering about
that sixty percent. Is that sixty percent of those people that they pulled or
is that sixty Where does that sixty percent four thousand people? And then well,
yeah, sixty percent of who they pulled, and then they extrapulate it
to say that it's representative within a certain number of percentage points to everybody.
So yeah, and the other my other question was that is that pre purge.
You know, if Elon came in and he pursed a lot of those
bots out of there, so obviously we reponding, Well, the thing is
bots arm responding to surveys, sir, So it bots when yeah, because
it's you know, you got a call, and I guess it's if it's
a really smart spot it is, but no, it's just it's one of
those things. You know, sometimes you look into something and you're fed a
piece of information, and if you're intellectually honest, you should go, that
doesn't sound right and then you should explore it, whereas pews like, you
know what, that makes Elon look bad. Let's throw that number out even
though it doesn't sound right at all. So I think that might be absolutely.
Statistics is definitely something that should be taught in high school so that when
we're fed this data, we actually know, you know, how it can
be manipulated. Okay, all right, I appreciate the call. There,
Sir Tyler, what's going on? Look going on? Man? How are
you going? I sir, it's Friday, and we got all sorts of
stuff going on. We got some ross has to dig through, trash.
This weekend's very busy. So yeah, I heard that is how you're rating
nasty. But I call whole quite a bit of that debris down the road,
and he's right, and he's wrong. Now, our trunk drivers who
do make a mess on the road, but if you know anything about the
NCDOT, they are on US twenty four seven. They can pull us without
probable calls, just to check the trunk. And I'd like to say,
as a good hauler, we keep everything nice and clean. So the trunks
that he are seeing, they just months. I'll followed us sing godline.
So that well, I know, I think that was the lesser part of
it. I think he was more wondering what you're hauling? So, sirs,
and so have you on the phone. Why are you hauling adrena chrome
children? I thought me I knew. And do you get paid by the
load of adrenochrome children or by the hour to haul adren of chrome children.
I don't know, but if I do, I'm getting screwed either way.
Well, I mean, it's adrenochrome children, and I'm not going to get
into the technical aspects of it. But all right, so you so what
are you hauling in there when you say that it's construction debris? So when
we got to clear these giant, normous lots for rows and stuff there that
tends to be old old structures on the land, old houses, old barns
and stuff like that, and a lot of it, it's just that stuff
that's torn down that we carry off to the dove and so that they can
come back and put new structures on the land. Okay, right, if
I gave you an add if I get so, if I gave you an
address of a house in wake Forest, would you and your buddies come and
remove it and throw it away? If the landowner, if the landowner a
girl, we're out. I totally got I've totally got his permission, sir.
I'll send you the lat launch. Okay, well, luckily I live
right here. You just come in, just throw it all in a truck,
haulidaway, sir. Nobody will mind okay, all right, I gotta
go, I gotta go to break So all right, yeah, oh Ross
you live in wake Forest, that's right. Huh. You guys are gonna
be leaving the house and all this weekend for anything. You got some marriage
to run? Hell no, I mean I don't want to be kidnapped by
this people and hauled to like some landfill. I'm terrified. Now, I'm
so confused. Oh h Dante stage Jake from the Weather Channels here, do
you get that reference? No? Do you ever see Clerks the movie Clerks?
Mm hmm, oh I have not? Yea. So the guy in
the in the movie Clerks, which obviously launched the career Jay Silo bomb all
that stuff, his name is Dante Anywhere and every twenty minutes, the running
joke during the show is I'm not even supposed to be here today. So
nah, thirty seven thirty seven, My god, that's a better reference,
right that. You should watch that movie and then remember what I said,
thirty seven Clerks, Yeah, and then it'll all it'll all click. Okay,
yeah, yeah, well you know we're here. It is what it
is, right, So yeah, what's happening. I'm sorry, I'm sorry.
I'm sorry this is happening to you. I was. Now you screwed
like the rest of us. So give us good forecast, make everyone happy.
Okay, yeah, we're trying to. I mean, it's it's really
the haves and have knots here this morning. Let's just try to give it
as best we can here. Let's go from oh gosh, Orange, Chatham
Counties points east to that you're in rain. Now. The rain does get
heavier as we get into the Triangle in through Wake County and Franklin County too,
in Nash County, so there's some pockets of heavier rain there. You
go west of that, less rain and just some spot showers as you get
out in near Randolph County, etc. Etc. So basically more toward the
Triangle than the Triad. Temperatures though fairly uniform across the area. Even to
where it is raining this morning, temperatures close to let's say sixty degrees,
and then where it's not raining toward the west, temperatures are in the mid
fifties, where it's a little cooler. Then as we go through today,
I think most of us will see the rains start to taper off just a
bit from west to east, may hang out a little bit longer, so
they said, in the triangle, and then release this afternoon out toward the
outer banks. Upper sixties, ten years seventy tonight becoming partly cloudy, mid
upper fifties. Should see developing sunshine tomorrow across the entire area, load of
mid eighties, and then maybe some showers and thunder showers back on Sunday.
But early next week looks really good. I think we're getting some drier weather.
So it's a has it have knots. This morning got rained up basically
from about let's say Milton up toward the northwest, up near the Virginia Board
to come down through Bains and down near Mandale and gold Stand in Chatham County,
going east, and then let's rain toward the west. Think I think
I kind have played that out prey right, pretty good? Okay, Okay,
appreciate it, sir. We'll chat in an hour and have a go
one. Okay, thanks, all right, and we'll come. We got
a ton of phone calls, we'll bang all of them next Hang on your
day and celebrating ten years and keeping you better informed. One oh six one
FM Talk and News Talk nine four five w PTI more with Casey. It
starts now, well it's Friday, and that means, of course we're all
over the damn place. We're gonna go quick as we can on all these
phone calls, and Pete Calendar will join us at eight oh five. So
let's do this thing. Donna, you're up first, Go ahead, Good
morning. Casey. Just wanted to say, I've searched a lot of cats,
and never once has I come across the cat. Believe, never once
had I come across a cat being put in a blender. Because if I
had, I would have flipped out. They certainly would have been reported,
and uh I probably would have started a campaign against them. Yeah, so
Ben Ben Ben Collins is a is a wing nut, so he probably is
searchain cats and blenders. I haven't I have a question. Maybe Ben Collins
should be like, hey, let's figure out it's putting cats and blenders and
yeah, out that person. So, because exactly I'm not a cat person,
but I don't want him shoved in blenders. Amen. The other thing
I wanted to say, broken, No blender broken. I like a good
blender. I'm sorry we didn't hear the last thing you said, now I'm
hanging up. So, oh that's too bad? All right? Is it
your birthday? I don't want you. No, I don't need a blender.
Are you trying to buy me a blender? I don't need to bl
I need to change everything in the show. Now. I was like one
hour, Dennis, what's going on? Hey? Many talk about that trash
a little bit of good. Well, we don't know about trash in there,
sir. It could be clones, so well it's trash. Could it's
trash. But what they do is like these larbish trunks to say in el
from County, when they come around and pick up the trash, it's the
houses and stuff they don't they don't take them through a land for you anymore.
They take them to a transfer station and they transfer it all from those
songs of these eighteen leaders. He's talking about in care of Linda counties that
have land for you splot down in Montgomery County. Oh yeah, no,
I am aware. There's a lot of that. That's a that's a big
thing that happens in areas. You know. Obviously we got big cities as
they end up contracting space for for landfills because nobody wants a landfill around them
and it turns into a whole thing. So and there's a lot of construction,
a lot of construction going on, so you're gonna have a lot of
construction debriefe stuff like that. So yeah, well but that's right. Don't
don't talk him right, they've been coming down the road and bags flying out,
hard worn on the radio and told him, I said, man,
you will be into time to get that. Convicts think it up well.
And I hear that, although I never understood this where you can drive a
truck down the road, whether it's a gravel truck or a trash truck not
filled with clones but actual trash, and and like you have to put a
sign the back of your truck that says if anything flies out of here and
hits your windshield, it's your fault. I'm like, I don't I'm not
a lawyer, but I'm not sure that that that that legally. Uh,
that's a legal thing, But I see those signs and I just sign pisses
me off so much. Yeah, responsible if it comes off the road,
Yeah, rock rock and power throws. No, No, no, that's
it. That's a different thing entirely. But I'm tiring. Thanks for the
call there, Dennis. I appreciate it, but that angers me. Signs
anger me those I see those signs and I'm just like, no, f
you like I get it. If a rock kicks up off the road,
it's not I'm talking about. But right if like a brick falls off the
truck and cracks my wingshield and you're like, no, it's legal. Right
there, I'm sign can't you read? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, I
don't know why that's the rage inducing All right, real quick, Daniel,
what's up? Daniel? Go right ahead, sir. Oh not click the
button. Oh there we go? All right, Sorry about that, Daniel,
Go right ahead, sir. Yeah. I would just reiterate now.
I was just gonna tell you what other blast collar They're just said, yeah,
get the majority of the trucks go to. They haul trash from all
like Samson County Landfield. It excepts trash from all one hundred counties in North
Carolinas all day, get paid, gotta make MoU and Uh County land Field
is also contracted to accept trash. It's one of the only three or four
land fields in the country. It accepts garbage from all over the United States
include he hazards really yeah, you know, Ross and I were talking off
here and thanks for the call there, sir. Uh. We're just starting
to what was it a body disposal? Open things? Bring that over?
Yeah, those signs, man, That could be a whole topic for a
whole other day. But right now we gotta gotta do the news, and
then Pete Callendar joins us. So stick around. Dave Ramsey here, all
right, good bored in everybody, and welcome. It is eight o seven
case ODA Radio program. It's Friday. All sorts of fun stuff going on.
We got to trash truck conspiracies. We've got you know, general insanity
in the General Assembly, and apparently also we have members of Congress who don't
realize that sometimes people have the same names. And help us sort through all
of the stupidity is Pete Calendar mid Day's WBT and on the iHeart Radio app.
What a week? What a week? Sir? How you doing?
I am doing all right? Um, I mean it's not my birthday or
anything, but I'm doing all right. Oh okay, Well, when it's
your birthday, let us know, okay, and we'll do ye. Pete
Calendar Birthday things so oh, that's very kind of you. Are you big
on birthdays? I'm not aware of what those are, so I'm not you're
not aware, I'm not. I'm I'm generally not. My wife is huge.
She loves birthdays. She celebrates like her half birthday. Yeah. Actually,
was one of our first fights when we were dating was that I didn't
want any kind of birthday celebration now and she didn't care, right, she
just overruled it. Well, while we were dating, No, that was
okay. She she allowed that to be. Uh, she allowed that to
be the norm. But then obviously, once you know, we're engaged and
now we're married, now that doesn't fly anymore. Now. Yeah, there's
some stuff like that, only it works in reverse, right yeah, yeah,
yeah, all right, but we'll leave it at that for everybody.
Did you watch the Linda Sanchez thing with the FBI whistleblower testimony yesterday? I
did not. This is one of I've learned. This is one of the
issues that I'm encountering with the with the time slot that I host, is
that a lot of stuff happens right in the middle of that time slot that
I don't now get to see that I that I would see. We don't
do doing other slots. What are you doing? I'm jealous of you guys
in different time slots, right because unless unless Biden's overseas doing something dumb,
I can't pull up the you know, the satellite channel and go let's listen
in, you know, and we advocate my responsibility. Man, if you're
doing an afternoon show, oh yeah, lazy, you just be like,
oh, they're at the thing, let's let's jip the let's put that pot
up and then you can just sit back there and eat cheetos or whatever.
So right, yeah, okay, so yes, that I do have the
ability to do that. You are correct. The problem is is that for
these types of hearings, you don't ever know what you're gonna get, and
so you could end up joining in progress and then it's just the most mind
numbingly boring portion of whatever the event is, and then you're kind of then
you're stuck, you know. Well, all right, so let me give
you just give me the two big takeaways here. The first one, and
I think the really important one is the testimony yesterday outlined how, among others,
Bank of America basically would pick up the phone FBI's calling would know warrants
nothing, and they would cobble together whatever info you needed and do the sorting
forum. So they presented them with all of the receipts of any of their
customers who transacted business from January fifth through January seventh in the Washington, DC
area. So, if you're a Bank America customer, all of your data
was handed the FBI with no warrant. And on top of that, they
collated a list of people of their own customers who had purchased fire arms at
any point who may have had transactions in and around the DC area. I
think in within that same week before FBI officials, and frankly, how they're
not already literally sued into oblivion is beyond me. And so that that's takeaway
number one. What are your thoughts on that? Well, Okay, I
don't understand what the problem is here, Casey. Warrant with searches are obviously
needed to protect our democracy. Right, we cannot have our democracy protected unless
we give up the you know, the right to be searched and have our
property seized without warrants obviously, right, Yes, But we have another long
tradition because I agree with you absolutely in your sarcastic tone. There we have
another long tradition in this country of finding the deep pockets and going from and
Bank of America, if that's true, should be sued into oblivion into non
if it's true. Right, So, yeah, I would think that deal
with testimony, that just sounds egregious, Right. I just I feel like
I need to open a Bank of America account just so if there is some
sort of you know, big fat class action settlement, I might get you
know, seven or eight dollars. And they're not the only ones. Companies
are willing to do this. Remember when Facebook literally provided information so they could
track down a forklift driver who slowed down in Nancy Pelosi video. Right,
yeah, well look at Canada, what I mean, the stuff that the
Canadian government did to the truckers during their protests over the lockdowns and such.
Yeah, this is and the thing is it's all coming from the crowd that's
been the most vocal about protecting the democracy. It's so which is obviously when
you hear people talking about the democracy, what they mean is the Democratic Party.
Right, That's that's it just code. It's we get to do whatever
we want because gut Deeld actually had a really good point during one of his
rants this week, which was, when you are fighting literally the next Hitler,
right, all things become all tactics become available to you because it's Hitler,
right. I mean, you would never drop a nuclear bomb on Hiroshima.
However, if the price of not doing so is greater, the calculus
changes. So when you pitch everything as literally Hitler, well, you know,
do you have the right to suspend the norms and violate the law and
lie to fis the courts? Like? Do you have the space to run
when you're battling the next Hitler? And this is sort of absolutely And this
is the this is the mindset that half the country. And it's not just
the moonbat brigade on the progressive left. You've got the never trumpers on the
right as well. This Trump derangement syndrome as well. And it has infected
all sorts of aspects of our institution in society, no question, no question,
and frankly makes our life easier in the sense that the contempt producing monster.
But um like the the FBI whistleblower they have, which, by the
way, I thought, uh saying mean things about whistleblowers. Was not We
were not allowed to do that because I thought you weren't allowed to say mean
things about reporters either. I thought that was an attack on our democracy as
well. But apparently, now, like what Dan Goldman up there from New
York, you could go after Julio Rossis from townhall dot com. You can,
you can you know savage him and say he's not he's just a senior
writer. Dude was a journalists. He had a great comeback. We played
the audio he did. Yeah, it was awesome. I want to see
and I lobbied. I don't know why nobody has done this yet. You
know where they dropped the sunglasses down over the like they freezed the video and
they dropped the digital sunglasses over his face, you know, like yeah,
like, how has that not been done for him? I don't know.
I'm sure. I'm sure somebody's working on it right now. So the guy,
so there's whistleblower. They have testified whom I believe it or not,
they've they've essentially attempted to destroy his entire financial livelihood, family, everything.
Um, the FBI is like withholding money from him. He said, now
this is his testimony um who so he lost his security clearance for quote being
sympathetic to uh January people who were at the capitol in January sixth, Except
the sympathy sounds like he may have been attempting to delineate between people who were
assaulting police officers with a flagpole, which is a thing that happened, and
bury him under the prison and uh the senior facility, the senior living facility
tour bus style grandma who walked through double open doors where police officers were playing
Bejeweled on their phones and took photos, uh right, and and maybe thinking
that those are two different types of individuals and there's a scale that there's a
scale of polarity or come right. So so you know he's a monster.
And obviously we know that the FBI is above reproach and how they make decisions,
so that insanity aside Linda Sanchez, who is a psychopath congressman from California
and a lawyer, she she thinks she's got a Perry Mason moment, and
had she had, she went h got him on record denying it, but
then was able to bring receipts. It would have been pretty damning to his
credibility on ownership of his Twitter account, like, oh, you deny,
it's yours over this, but we found six of these tweets and you're referencing
your wife and children, right, so what the heck is going on?
But no, instead, I'm gonna play the audio we get this, stupid
mister Allen. Have you ever used Twitter? Yes? Or no? I
have utilized Twitter? Yes? Okay? And is your account at marcus a
nine seven zero five zero six four five absolutely not my account? Okay,
that's not your account. Well, on December fifth, twenty you on account
under the name Marcus I'm going retweeted a tweet that said that is not my
account, ma'am. If you haven't let me finish the question, sir,
you haven't let me finish the question on this end the time is mine?
All right? Yeah? Anyway, so this goes out and then she reads
it and it's something like Nancy Pelosi orchestrated everything. Here's the thing. If
I'm him, I am, I got my phone in my hand and I'm
creating a Linda Sanchez seven nine two Twitter account, and you would not be
what I'm tweeting or or I'm going to the there's a porn star named Linda
Sanchez, and I'm pulling up a picture and being like, ma'am, is
this a close up of your crotch? Because this is right, this is
but this is the stupidity we're witnessing. Yes, say, and by the
way, wait till you see these Pete Calendar account we just found. Um,
I don't know. You're a guy who spends a lot of time on
Twitter. What are you generally? What is your your thoughts on accounts whose
name is a version of whatever they say They're actual name is plus eight numbers
past it? Does that? Does that give you pause at fake account?
Absolutely? Yeah. If you put in and if you put in numbers like
more than about two two numbers, like if you're beyond two numbers, because
one number it could be like, oh, there's another Pete Calendar, so
I'm Pete Calendar two or something. Or if it's a double number, maybe
it was your high school football journey number four twenty yeah, something like that.
If if there's a number that's obviously like the four one one or something
like there's something like that, then okay. But if you start going beyond
like three digits and like it looks like a social Security number, it looks
like a phone number. Then it's like an AOL account. You know,
I'm not buying it. It's it's like I automatically kind of look upon this
account as less than um and so yeah, the numbers on the string of
numbers on the back end of a of a name indicates fake account. But
the I, like, I really am impressed with her. Just can just
all in through, just keep going like, I've got my questions written and
it doesn't matter if these questions are relevant to the witness. I'm going to
read them and try to get him on the record as agreeing with some stupid
tweet that somebody else said. It's one of the things that the digital age
really has exposed, which is that we aren't led by complete dumbasses. We
really are. The people who we think are competent are anything but. At
least back in the day before digital media and social media, that we had
this ignorance, this blissful ignorance that no, they know what they're doing right.
The FBI stuff with the Durham probe is another example of it. We
are now forced to recognize that the people that are in charge of the institutions
that are running investigations that are running our government. They're idiots. They're absolutely
incompetent idiots. And that is terrifying, is it? Though? I mean
yeah, because can't we do it? Doesn't allow it is terrifying, But
can't can't we do a better job now of purging this? I remember what
I think was truly the most eye opening for a lot of people, because
it got so much pub that everyone was wearing their Sunday bests and and that
was when they were gonna have members Zuckerberg and all of them come in and
they were gonna get to the bottom of this stuff. And if you watched
the House Committee or the Senate hearing questioning Zuckerberg, where people were asking things
like wait, you just give your Facebook is free? How do you make
money advertising? Right? Like? Right? That was insane watching those people,
Right, That's like, yeah, I would say, that's like Grandpa
trying to figure out setting the clock on on a VCR. Right, Like
I could say, all right, they're not technologically savy. Well if they
own a VCR, I mean, good, lord, man, who owns
a VCR? Now I have some questions, I have some issues that,
but well, and also in their defense, it's difficult to go up against
AI. Right, that's very that's a very difficult thing. You're trying to
question some robots, some AI thing, and any human is going to look
incompetent up against AI. Uh no, question. Absolutely. You know,
this goes back to the first time a computer, you know, the Gary
casprof computer chest thing, right, deep blue and all that, except now
it'll insult you on the way through there I was doing to that reporter.
Man, So that's great, I'm telling you, man, wait to the
first AI talk show. You and I are digging ditches were out of here.
Yeah, well, I'm hoping to get some residuals that they can take
some of my voice clips and then construct a whole a whole person or AI
person out of that. Yeah, who was just talking? Who did I
see talking about that? The other day? It was one of the actors,
and he's just like, he's just like, yeah, now it's to
the point where I'll be I'll be doing movies for a hundred years. He's
probably he might not be wrong. No, there's there's technology where they take
just a couple of syllables from people and they can make you say anything that
that they want you to say now, and then they can put your moving
mouth onto a still image and turn that into a moving image and now it
looks like you're actually saying this on a video clip. No, we're we
are a thousand percent host. All right, Just a couple of quick things
before before we get out of here. Um. The the insanity that is,
I can't believe you put this in your prep thing. I ask somebody
who's from Wyoming. I Taco Bell can burn in hell? Taco John's.
Is that you ever had Taco Johns only on my birthday? Taco john I'm
just going to ignore you. Taco Johns. Is we do you know?
Wyoming? There's two from a business perspective, there's two very exciting things.
Uh. Taco Johns, which is amazing. Do you know the largest chain
to ever come out of Yo. I know you've heard of it starting Wyomi.
Ja's largest chance jac put it Jacon Okay, yeah, Kimmer Wyoming.
But Taco John's. If I couldn't even eat Taco Bell when I left home,
it's that good. And they had Taco They've been around for fifty years.
Taco Tuesday is the thing, and they anyones who slapped down Lebron James,
the flopper of all floppers. I don't know if you saw that yesterday
when he tried to do it. And now Taco Bell thinks are gonna bully
Taco John's no, sir, I'm not gonna let it happen. Not on
my watch, it does, but but it probably will happen, not like
watch now for real. Man. Well, now, hang on, that
sounds kind of j sixy um. The uh the apparently in marketing, uh,
companies lose these types of trademark cases all the time when they become too
much a part of the vernacular, which to me sounds like you're a victim
of your own success, right, like you create a product it's so awesome,
Like Xerox, they can't sue people anymore over that being a trademark name
and because it became the word for making a copy, and the court say,
you know what, once the word becomes part of the lexicon, then
you don't have a trademark and forceability right anymore? Right, And so all
right, I think calendar, okay, all right, that's all I needed
to know. I have you have a good weekend, sir? Yeah,
happy birthday, we'll talk. No, we'll talk to you next week.
Thank you very much, and have a good one, okay, all right,
have a great weekend. All right, I will, and we'll be
back. Hang on the show. After the show is on the iHeart Radio
app. Search case O day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app.
All right, eight thirty five and good morning everybody, Koda Radio program.
Great, that's what I need. That's what I need right there? Cat
memes? Really you needed to post three amigo stuff on the on the Twitter.
You thought that was that's good use of your time. Huh. It's
your birthday, man, have you birthday? Have yourself a day? Yep,
But now people are posting cat memes, So how does that make my
day better? In any way, shape or form. You can just feel
the love, you know, coming through the app. Ross also threatened to
do a birthday twitch stream. Oh and hats for sure of twitch channel the
Casey the birthday bonanza might be tomorrow, though, I'm assuming that you'll just

I should spect that with special guest case you d I'm not no, Oh

doing for you, and when you stop by as a special guest, which
has been confirmed now and on the radio, I promise, yeah it's been

check in advance, So that's all I'm saying. And I need a green
room. Uh and wait till you hear how I want the M and M's
organized. It's gonna be amazing. It's gonna be so good. Also,
I need a blender and um no, I'm kidding. We'll not do the
Cathaian. No, I'm busy this weekend, So why don't you just get
you use an aim if that makes you feel any better, and then shamelessly
built people for dollars which you could use are there. You're gonna have to
be hurry, in a hurry to do it at the Star Wars crazy expensive
hotel of Disney. This story is crazy, man. Um. I remember
when they first started talking about doing this, and I'm not gonna lie,
it sounded kind of cool right when you ross when you first heard the concept
of a Star Wars hotel, immersive hotel, like you're literally living on the
Death Star or whatever. Um, that's uh, you know, the nerd
and you had to be like that kind of sounds cool, right, yeah,
of course, especially if you're doing it like Disney's quality, right that
they're known for. Yes, yes, yes, but I think and uh
and by the way, it is not cheap. In fact, I want
to say that the it's more in a thousand a night is the bare minimum,
and obviously, depending on the level that you want, it goes up
from there. But this is a very instructive story on what happens when you
violate the expectations of your audience, which I've mentioned is a piece of advice
that was given to me early in my radio career saying, you know,
ninety percent of the bad stuff that happens to you could be avoided as long
as you remember, never violate the expectations of your audience. And this is
what Disney should have learned, and it's what audience also means customers, and
you're seeing it with bud Light, Right. They can go and put out
all their custom Camo and Harley Davidson cans that you just announced are going to
do. You can do that all you want, but the problem is you
crapped on your base. And the more I analyze that Disney is now announcing
that this hotel, which is it's only been actually opened since what March of
last year, right, because it took him forever to put it all together,
they're they're shuddering it and you have to ask yourself, how how how
do you lose on this creating? As Ross pointed out, with Disney quality,
how do you lose on this even at that price point? And you
lose because you have to think who would be willing to shell out a thousand
minimum per night for a Star Wars themed hotel? Who would be willing to
pay that kind of money? And the answer is the die heart of diehards.
Right, You're a number one, you your top tier one all in
star Wars fanatics. They're willing to shell that out. But the problem is,
when you talk about the Star Wars brand, these are the very same
people, right, These are the folks and it gets a little annoying at
times that will take issue with like a slight nuance of characters insignia for their
rank in the Federation kind of stuff. Right, they'd be like, well,
tactically, these are the guys who do fifty minute, excuse me,
fifty different videos an hour long analyzing the various nuances of Darth Vader's helmet between
all of the different iterations, which is an actual theme or thing, and
it's a whole playlist. I didn't watch all of it. I'm like,
this guy did fifty different one hour episodes on the evolution, the changes,
the pros and cons of just the Darth Vader outfit, going all the way
back to the beginning, all the different iterations. That's a guy who is
obsessed, that's a guy who was shot up. The money and whatever you
think of those people. Disney, once they acquired the Star Wars property and
ventured out to do their own thing and decided that the force was female and
beloved characters needed to be neutered and u d you know, get rid of
toxic masculinity, get rid of all of this and presented from these are the
people who Disney spit in the face the most, because whereas the general public
will put up with a lot of stuff because they like the they like the
product, they like all of that, they're not diehards. They're not obsessed
to the point where they'll consume that kind of content that I just mentioned.
And those are the people that if you want to have a one thousand dollars
per night hotel that is completely immersive, those are the people who you can't
alienate because those are your customers. And then a few you know, rich
trust fund idiots who just want to you know, who do it for the
lulls, but the real diehards. Ross, would you agree with my line
of thinking here that the reason this hotel would never be successful is because Disney
crapped all over the very people who were the most likely to spend that kind
of money. I think it's very accurate, yes, And also, how
do you justify a thousand dollars Why don't you just lower the damn price the
cost of putting this thing on, Like if you've seen it, especially when
it comes to the cast slide shows and the walkthroughs and all that stuff.
Yeah, the cast members too, like I imagine paying them because we've watched
market las watching the Disney videos, like people going to parks, and they're
for some people, this is their life, this is their YouTube channel.
They'd upload going to the park all the time, or that's what they do
here. I didn't have it, like if you if you knew somebody was
so obsessed, like even where they would like run multiple websites about it,
and I know, so you have these people and on one thing we've noticed
watching these videos is it's always the same person playing the specific character at the
hotel, meaning like if you go to Disney and you see like Peter Pan,
right, it's typically if you see Peter Pan in one day, it'll
be a different Peter Pan the next day. But these people are like,
what whoever, I'm general grievous every day of my life twenty four to seven
because it never shuts down. It's a twenty four seven immersive experience. So
they just it doesn't even have property, It doesn't even have windows. This
thing like it has it so when you look at your windows. It's like
slavery. When you look at your window, it looks like you're looking out
at the stars. It's completely immersive. So the cost believe that they did
a hell of a job. Yeah, just from a human resources point of
view, paying these people to act twenty four to seven or to cosplay twenty
four to seven, it's going to cost you a buttload of money that I
don't know. You're general, you signed a contract, your general grievous.
You can never deviate character, right because I understand that Disney wants to protect
the um uh you know, the imagination part of it, right, So
you're not gonna see Peter Pan taking a break smoking, right, Like that
wouldn't happen. But you're right. Like one of the interns at our Tampa
station who who I got to meet? She played, Uh, she was
one of she played one of the Disney characters. And she would you know,
she worked like a four hour shift one day a week. Does she
drive from Tampa to Orlando to do that? She was just doing it basically
for the because she had friends doing it. But they're like, you know
who did she play? Uh? She played whatever? You're so yeah,
yeah, twenty four seven, and you can't leave the premises like you better
pay me. Yeah, I you know what, you're right, I guess
who. That's crazy, like never being able to deviate your character. And
also so does that mean when she's there, she's only like like you because
there's going to be natural human interest, right, You're gonna want a relationship.
You're gonna be around people, especially at her age, she's in her
twenties. You don't want a party and you know, hook up and all
that. So like just the dude playing Prince Charming. Right. The other
problem is they've oversaturated the market with Star Wars. And we said this way
back in the day when when Disney announced they were making these films, we
said on this show, They're like, there's gonna be burnout where people are
gonna be like, well, now it's not special because now I have you
know, a different Star Wars movie served Upper series every few months before it
was special because he would wait like decades right for a movie, and you
had the original trilogy, which was amazing, And now you have a lot
of Star Wars content that's not anywhere near what it used to be, and
people just don't care as much anymore and has shown a flagrant disregard for the
product. Hans solo. That Han solo and the representation of the young Princess
Leia was embarrassing, and of course obviously old old Han in how he was
represented in the Find the lad the Last trilogy where he's just this I'm sorry,
I said solo. I met obi Wan in both cases, Yeah,
but the way Obi Wan represented both in the UH in the final trilogy or
the last, the most recent one, where he's just a bitter, grizzled
loser, and it's just it's just embarrassing right where he's just on the island.
He doesn't give a crap. And because there's a new marry Sue once
you all of the people who would have paid a thousand dollars see that crap
and they're just like now I'm out. So you want to know why it
didn't work. That's why it didn't work. Pay me. I'm your marketing
consultant at forty seven race st Agent from the make It Quick, sir,
what do you got range ben steady basically from just west the triangle and points
east of that and radar still picking that up here the morning as you go
west and further west, especially past Winston, Salm and Greensboro, less rain
and even some sunshine. So pretty variable conditions here, but most of us
watching the rain push east as we get into the afternoon, casey and upper
sixties, low seventies. It depends on how quickly we'll break this rain.
The weekend's gonna look better, especially by Saturday as clouds a good way to
sunshine lood amid. It's been steady basically from just west the triangle and points
east of that, and radar still picking that up here this morning. As
you go west and further west, especially past Winston, Salm and Greensboro,
less rain and even some sunshine. So pretty variable conditions here, but most
of us watching the rain push east As we get into the afternoon, casey
and upper sixties, low seventies. It depends on how quickly we'll break this
rain. The weekend's gonna look better, especially by Saturday, as clouds a
good way to sunshine. Loodam at eighty so we'll be warmer, and then
maybe some more showers and thunder showers as we get into Sunday. I don't
think a lot of rainfall with highs and mid upper seventies. However, it
does look like we're going to go on a good stretch starting Monday and into
the middle of next week, maybe the entire week next week, we'll be
rained free, stay tuned, all right, Tell Ray's not allowed to prerecord
his weather anymore. Anyway, We'll come back with Jeff Bellinger. Hang on,
all right, here we go, eight fifty four Bloomberg Up day,
Jeff Bellinger, what's happening? Well, Good morning, Casey. Stock market
futures are pointing higher. We have the Dow futures up ninety one points.
Looks like a positive start ahead, But investors are going to be paying close
attention when Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell speaks later this morning. Powell and former
Fed chair Ben Bernanke will appear at a research conference in Washington. If investors
don't hear or hear something they don't like, the market sentiment could turn on
a dime. Things looking up at Deering Company. Dear posted stronger than expected
quarterly result this morning. And something else we're watching this morning, Casey foot
Locker shares a foot locker getting pounded pre market. The Athletic Footwear retailer's quarterly
results fell short of forecasts. Foot Locker also cut its guidance for the year.
Stock is down about twenty twenty percent or more. Right now, okay,
all right, well, thank you very much. Have you a weekend,
sir, appreciate it. Okay, enjoy your weekend. Talk you soon.
Bye. Yeah, there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News.
All right, I got a couple of crazy stories real quick. This is
bonkers man. An IT worker has a filed complaints with the All right,
so this is work complaints claiming that she was sexually harassing has followed a lawsuit.
What is the It's a tech company, all right, check this out.
Her name is Karina Gasparov, and she's claimed that her boss, Alexander
Alexander Jason Guldaris. All right, that's who she's suing. According to miss
Kasprov or gasprov excuse me, Guldaris sexually harassed her throughout her time working as
she was some sort of assistant to him. All right, so here we
go. So it's the Digital Trading Company, So here is here's how she
knew she was being sexually harassed. According to miss uh Gudarish, he would
try to chat her up when discussing business on work calls, and at one
point she said she could feel him staring at her. Also, um he
and this is this is the part that made me laugh. At one point
changed a file on a shared server to a j G aj G, the
letters AJG, which she said she interpreted as an abbreviation for quote a jumbo
genital. Mister Goodaris responded to her allegation that he meant a jumbo genital to
say that his name his initials are AJG, and it was his file,
but since she had access it, she felt he was renaming it. This
is the stupidity of this. Also that when he put two xs in a
document, which was which is a placeholder way of when you write something where
you're going to insert it later, that he was implying hugs and kisses.
This lady sounds like a lunatic man, absolutely bonkers and real quickly. A
woman a fifty seven or a woman's been arrested for running a illegal dentist office
in her basement. She's got no dental training but charged half price. Except
authorities say she was only skilled at pulling people's teeth without mitigating the risk of
the affection and people are getting infections. And she went by the name of
Yorkie, who's going to the secret dentist in the basement because it's half price,
And that was her probably, that was her prognosis for everything. Oh
you got a problem, we'll just rip it out of your face, So
don't do that, all right, have a good weekend, everybody. I
got to go
