Alrighty, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is Monday, and I
have been sitting here thinking, and you know I can only think so far,
so we need we probably need you to do some thinking. What do
you think a handful of teams in the NFL? What what kind of compromise
information videos? What do you think they may have on Roger Goodell and or
the officiating crew. I gotta tell you, and I'm and I and I
I'm doing this today because I literally have no dog in the fight, okay,
and you're gonna hear me come out and actually express even though they won,
frustration on behalf of the Packers, because it's not about the Packers,
right, and go back and you know, marry their sisters and eat cheese
or whatever they do. The point is, sorry, I had to get
one in. The point is, after watching the officiating and that Eagle sand
Fran game, and then watching some of that night game yesterday, it's not
possible. It's not possible to be that inefficient at your job. And we
cover Washington, Okay, So if you want to, if you want me
to make a list of people who suck at their jobs, the fact that
you would even step in there as an entertainment franchise, albeit a financial goliath.
Is embarrassing and and you know, how does college not get it that
wrong? And I know some of you gonna call them in my particular,
I understand that there have been instances, but it was it's so abundantly clear
ross my tinfoil hat, please. It is so abundantly clear that there are
several teams that may or may not be associated with pop artists or tea parties
or yeah, a handful of others. And I think that we are best
able to illustrate this by seeing what happened over in college football ball selection,
where I think they go to they're not ball selection, but BCS selection where
they go to I guess train idiots before sending them to the NFL to be
incompetent and or crooked, because what they did is they made a decision with
Florida State, allowing Alabama to get in there and the eighty six Florida State.
Because yes, I recognize that Florida State's quarterback not being in there brings
a dynamically different team, not a bad team. I still wouldn't want to
play him if I was in the world of college football, but a team
that is not what it was when it was knocking off good opponents. And
so rather than going by the by the system, which says, hey,
go out and do this, play harder people, win against better teams that
will improve your standings, here's a you know, here's a crazy algorithm.
But once you plug it in, if you're out there busting your button,
you're getting wins and you're doing what you need to do, you will be
rewarded. And what they actually said is, there's so much money here.
We want these games to be as competitive as possible. And these from the
folks who continue to jam Notre Dame in most years don't have anything against Notre
Dame, but they've they've received a couple championship bids that frankly, you just
you knew it was going to be a bye for whoever had to play him
first. And but the difference was they didn't deserve it. You can't you
take an undefeated team at a time when the ACC should be so angry right
now because they've done everything to distance themselves from their own roots. Here.
You know how I feel about moving tournaments and stuff up to New York and
all the rest and saying screw you to the North Carolinians that built that conference,
and they just said, we don't think it's going to be entertaining enough,
and they're kind of right. The probability is if f FSU is in
there, Florida State's in there, and they got to go up against Michigan
or Washington or Texas or any of the rest, it's it's a tough road.
Maybe they win. Who thought the Packers would beat the Chiefs yesterday?
And I know that people will then discount what I'm saying here, go,
well, Casey, it could have been that back because the Packers, the
Packers were so overwhelmingly better than the Chiefs last night. It was I thought
I was watching, you know, older like when Brett farv And and Donald
Driver and I can't remember who the other receiver was back in the day,
Like it was. They were slick. They looked really good. And that's
not like I don't like that, that's in my division. No, No,
But it just culminated in all this frustration because it became clear that college
football cares only about the money. The NFL. Who can care about the
money. That's fine, But the problem is is the NFL's money right now
is evolving. How is it evolving? It's evolving in the world of sports
gambling, which I have no problem with. But if you don't have your
stuff on what appears to be the up and up, and it's clear that
you're making decisions based on what you think is going to be best for your
broadcast and not honoring in the same way that a casino throwing dice, spinning
a wheel or you know, fine tuning machines is required to sit there and
abide bye under penalty of law, because that's that's the handshake agreement when you're
going to have gambling, is it has to be clearly defined. What's up?
What's going on? What are the rules? Am I sitting down?
If I'm gonna play twenty one? Can I split? Can I double?
Here? I do I get one card? If I you know I if
I want to double down, I mean, yeah, you got to know
what the rules are. And it creates an untrust and potentially an illegal environment.
And I think that's what was evidenced over the weeknd Ross. Do I
sound insane? I don't mean to sound insane, but I think, but
when when you saw the FSU thing up against yesterday's NFL officiating. It all
comes together where it's like it's it's clear, it's not just who who's the
best person out there? And are they doing the best job? Now?
I think you're seeing what a lot of people are seeing, right, And
I think this year, when it comes to NFL officiating, probably the worst
on record. I mean, it's really bad yesterday. I don't know if
I've ever seen two games with worse back to back. Officiating was often one
of the reasons we like sports. And I know, listen because it's fair.
And I'm not saying fair on an individual basis, because certain people are
more talented than others and he and and admittedly humans are fallible, right,
So listen, Michael Jordan, right, is going to be better than Craig
Elo whatever. Right, And it's not because Michael Jordan is getting twenty steps
to the basket without being called for traveling and you're you're you're fouling Craig Elo
all the time. It's because he's his talent is better. But when it
comes to the rules of the game, they have to be consistent, they
have to be Yeah, and and you see this, here's how it's evidenced
by that baseball, right, Baseball, Sometimes you get an umpire who's calling
a really wide strike zone and if these if he's calling a wide strike zone
for both teams and he does it throughout the game, you got nothing.
You got no beef, right right, because as a player, I mean,
they shouldn't be like that, but as a player, you recognize it
and you can adjust your game. And they do and they should and that's
good and that's how you you know, it is those little things on the
soil. They support personnel that can can get you out there and improve what
you're doing. But ah, it was so I just it was just so
bothersome watching and I had such a great weekend standing in front of a wal
Mart for three days in Carrie. But for a very good reason, and
I'll tell you about all of that, but yeah, I just had to
get that off my chest because I was so angry and for you know,
for and inevitably here's what's going to happen. So because I don't know if
you know this, law Mike, lawmakers they like stuff to do where they
get their name out there and get some pub and you're gonna get the sports
gambling going and some lawmaker, some da right, some hungry DA who you
know, maybe wants to be govenor one day because his dad paid his way
in life. Uh, you know, one of those cats is going to
get in there and you're gonna have an investigation, and if that investigation goes
away, just you know, poof, like the Epstein client list. Right,
it's just one more element of one more thing that people can't take right
now where it's vastly apparent that those in power can they just screw you,
you know what I'm saying, where they're just like, screw you. We're
gonna do what we want. And that's what That's what sports was this weekend
plus Ross and iron A bye, so we can just go bonkers on everybody.
A dude, it felt so good, you know, like just the
weekend of not having distress about sucking even more. You know what I mean
When you put it like that, I guess, yeah, it's like correct,
Oh my god, it's a peaceful, nice afternoon or evening whenever your
team tends to play. Yeah, I was. I was so pumped yesterday
because I'd like I thought, San fran Philly, that's gonna be a good
that's gonna be a good setup. And even though I'm not you know,
you know I feel about Packers, but Packers Chiefs, I'll watch that and
frankly, I should have been rooting the Chiefs on every step of the way.
They're not in my division, no, no, but you can recognize
when you know one team is getting a lot of calls and the other team
isn't. It was so bad and this is I would say, easily probably
the worst team Patrick Mahomes has played with the players surrounding him in a long
time. It is like, this is probably the worst Chiefs, especially with
Kelsey. Remember Kelsey. Kelsey left yesterday and I think that that was the
that was the catalyst for, oh my god, what are we going to
do? We got a cheat him a win and they almost did. They
almost did. And on the other side of the ball, all momentum dropped
off or on the other game, San Francisco was getting drilled by Philly.
San Francisco had negative six yards after the first quarter and then ended up beating
the Eagles forty two to like twenty something. Jalen Hurts went out, Jalen
Hurts came back, in which I don't understand because they were getting murdered by
then, and he's already kind of dealing with a nagging injury. But I
think the momentum catalyst is Jalen hurts through the ball up to I don't know
if it was Brown or which receiver, and San Francisco, you know,
it looked like what they must have done to Caesar in the Senate, okay,
with the defenders blatant, blatantly assaulting this receiver and they they could not
rush out there fast enough to do nothing about it. And I think it
really changed the momentum. And then the college football stuff and I look,
I get it. And if you think it's exactly how it should be because
it should be the most competitive game, let's have that discussion. We got
non sports news as well, and all sorts of stuff coming up here on
your Monday cac O Day radio program. So after the show, it's on
the iHeartRadio app. Search CADA for the podcast on the iHeart radio app.
Dude, what are you doing coming back? I am clearly in here attempting
to assemble a lunchable like a three year old. I don't know why I
want to get a drink in the little store this morning, I saw a
lunchble and I'm like, I haven't had a lunchable in a while? How
old am I? So? Anyway, little breakfast protein? All right,
all right, I went on a big It's not just a sports rank because
some of you are like sport, it's just a sports station. Bah one,
glad you're saucy on a Monday. But no, this is more than
sports. This is going. This is getting ready to be a highly lucrative,
highly regulated to the point of you can't do it right. This isn't
anybody. We can't open Casey and Ross's House of sports gambling, right,
although I did start that lottery that was profit. This is something that's gonna
get good old boys club. There's there's regulatory questions, and frankly, if
something's not on the up and up, you might as well have dude running
around selling snake oil with cocaine in it or whatever you know used to happen
one hundred years ago. Fixes in man, and what's up? All right,
it's gonna be a long one. So here we go. Well,
here, sir, I'm gonna tell you got two minutes and twenty seconds.
So that's how long, it's gonna be all right, do the best it
can. First off, I'm gonna old played baseball there, my guys.
And now talking through the whole weekend, big weekend, big. You know,
we won with a thirst string quarterback. You know all that, We're
all jacked up, We're back where we want to be. And then this
happens. My phone blew up on Sunday, I mean all day long,
blew up. Yeah. But so so now things start coming out and things
are starting. One I think in Florida State Art, take every NCAA emblem
they have on every arena they have, take it off. Just take it
off. And how every school's got it on the boutfield, on the scoreboard.
Just take off the n c a A. Come up, the T
shirts, seminoles, Lives Matter, defund the n c a A. You
know, goes through the whole gambit of that, because when it comes down
to Disney is owned by I mean ESPN is owned by Disney. Right,
who's battling who's battling the who's battling Disney? The Santas? What do you
do? You put people in place from the boom you get down to here
it comes you know, you got that conspiracy setting out there. The other
thing that assests me is the director of the Dead Gum Committee is an ACC
athletic director sitting there in Raleigh. How does he not stand up for the
ACC because it could have been his team, It could have been North Carolina,
it could have been cumpson that they held off on the year that we
go six and six and four hit the head against CC and it's a division
that's under fire right now with teams wanting to leave. Sir, I'm with
you, man, Well that's why I wanted and then and then look also,
just it just keeps going, man, It don't stop, gets it
all of the I'm sorry, I'm sorry to do it to you, but
I literally, this break's gonna happen in ten seconds or they're locker or not.
I share your frustration, sir. I share it because I think it's
just filthy, absolutely filthy. And I have one other idea. Hang on
for that six thirty five dude. That photo will never not be funny.
She had a picture of the the jet frozen, not just frozen, not
just in pretty severe icy conditions there in Munich, but popping a wheelie.
It looks like it looks like and this is what I tweeted. I said,
it looks like that stupid Carolina lift or what no, they called the
squat Right, you're right where where they do that. They get the truck
and then they do a lift camp. But they'll do like five inches on
the front, three on the back, and so the things pointing at the
sky, which from a visibility standpoint doesn't look good. But that's a business
jet doing that. So and uh, well, I don't know that I've
seen anything that proved that that jet was headed to Dubai. There was quite
a few jets that were headed to Dubai for a climate conference. Going into
Dubai, Man, what do they have in Dubai other than corrupt FIFA officials?
Oil? Oh, that's right, the whole area, the reason they
have a conference center as fossil fuels. And also all of you world leaders
want to control everything that I do. How is it I have to zoom
all my meetings for two years, but you guys can't have a zoom climate
conference or you can use teams, that's fine. How is it impossible to
meet over this boondoggle via the web anyway? All right, So I mentioned
to our last caller, who obviously is very fired up. He played what
did you what did you say? Rosse? He played baseball, played baseball
for Florida State. Okay, so you know that's a man that's not in
a good way right now and understandably. So I have a solution how Florida
State can fight back. You know, moon bats like things that they feel
are exclusive. Because I'm a you'd have to, you have to. You
have to be dealing with moon bats for this, right, corrupt moonbats.
But you know how they like to feel special and they like new age and
alternative stuff, all right, all right, So we're gonna do is We're
gonna pitch us as a spa weekend down at the Florida State University campus that
as part of it, do the dark thing right where you go in the
cave with the hallucinogenics and then also have massuses in there and just rub them
down with like chum. All right, but yeah, put some put a
little perfume in there or whatever so they don't notice. It's you know,
like fish cuts and stuff, and it's good for the the artisan chump is
Oh, it's the best chump. Okay, good, Yeah, only the
best, right, And then I know that technically that's your in state rival,
the Gators there, but Bartner up right, show a little state solidarity
and take every gator captured that year because some redneck thought he was gonna,
I don't know, have a new pet or you know, some sort of
interdiction by police. Just and just turn them loose and do this all in
the middle of your stadium. Pull back the little hallucinogenic dark tent thing that
Aaron Rodgers loves so much, and it's just nothing but corrupt NCAA officials covered
in chum with about two hundred gators going. That looks good and you can
sell out the stadium. That's how angry I was. I was thinking of
stuff like that yesterday. Don't actually do that without me, Yeah, one
of those days, and I just you know, and I had a wonderful
weekend. It look nobody wants to have to do stuff all weekend for work
when you don't work on the weekend. And in the world of radio,
Ross and I have all had to do broadcasts where we're just we're not as
enthusiastic as as one might be for whatever reason. But we did the we
did this stuff a bus fundraiser out at This was in Carrie this year where
they chose the Walmart and carry is where they did it. And so we
parked up a bus, a actual school bus that I don't know where he
got it. I didn't even ask. It's a Wake County school bus.
Maybe did we send did we send somebody over there? Like the dark of
kN I'm sure they let us use it. But and then we had to
have a big storage truck and this was all of the toys that we were
stuffing the bus with. We're going to Toys for Tots. They were delivered
yesterday to the Marines. Thank you to the major and what was Ashley's rank,
first sergeant, I believe, Thank you to the two Marines that hung
out with us. One of them works for a living. I was told
I'm starting to fight now. No, they were both awesome. And to
the five you know, and I don't even know what the final number,
so I don't want to say, but it was damn near six thousand toys.
Six thousand toys. And let me tell you, I don't have kids.
I'm not up on the current toys as was evidence, right, I
don't know all the hots like some of the stuff I didn't recognize, which
is fine. Some of it's just classic right Legos, Barbies, nerf guns.
And there's a couple of toys I saw where I'm like, yeah,
man, I damn, I wish I was like ten again. Cool because
you know, some stuff has advanced. But then there's other stuff. I
don't know what it is, but I know it makes a damn lot of
noise. Like there was this the cocoa melon thing, which I did a
poor job of describing this to Ross, But here's all you need to know.
If you look at it and you're within six feet, it makes noise
or something. I don't know. But what happened is people kept buying them
because people would go into the Walmart and they'd get them, and they must
have been like on sale somewhere like an end cap. They're very popular,
and I saw quite a few of them. And then when someone would bring
it out and then put it in the box, every other toy that followed
made that thing go off. Who designs that? Who do you get to
put together toys like that? Is it? The is it? The individual
who got you know, was like, I'm the guy who invented all the
torture devices during the Inquisition. This is why I wasn't aware of it,
because Lincoln's been past this age of toys for a while. Oh, thank
God for you. He still likes some of the younger stuff though, he
really does. Yeah, but the cocomel and stuff, I hadn't heard of
it. I'm seeing here at some Netflix that start in twenty twenty, so
that's why I hadn't heard it. But just seeing at the pictures of this
thing, I can imagine, oh, three days of that, three days
of that, and come Christmas morning, dozens I'm sure dozens of those were
donated. Dozens of households are going to be simultaneously filled with the enthusiasm and
the happiness of kids and the despondent, despair and day drinking of those parents
as cocoa melon musical things are opened under the tree. So it's like children
like singalong and stuff like the alphabet numbers and yeah. But I could Yeah,
I don't even know what it was. I don't understand what it was
trying to say. I will say this though, when Lincoln was that into
that sort of thing, and he was like super young, yes, I
would hate when people would give him these toys and they would not come with
an off button. Those are the worst. Like, it's different if it
has you know, an on button, an you know it. But if
there's no off button, it just goes all the time. It drives you
absolutely insane. I mean, everything's gotten off button. You know what I'm
saying. Right, Look, you tell it. You send an email to
a guy at hitman dot com and tell him you want to you want him
to push a guy's off button. You're going to jail. Lincoln comes home,
he's like, why is the Coco melon in a block of cements?
I know, Coco belan. You won't see Coco melon no more because you
say no more. You won't see Paul no more? Right, yeah,
okay, yeah, you won't see Coco Bellan no more. Is it all
the Coco melon or just the lower third? You know enough to make him
sink? Yeah, say forget about it? And then right after he as,
hey, hey, forget about okay, And then after he asked,
you just had him a newspaper with a dead fish inside. Here's your new
toy. But no, there's tons of awesome people that came out. Did
you see that dude's shirt I sent you a picture of. Oh yeah,
it was. It was beautiful. It's like it's a button down shirt,
you know, like it would be a beach shirt except and as wild colors,
except it's this pattern of Clark Griswold, but at the end with the
chainsaw when he's just had enough. It was an amazing shirt. I met
a really, really nice great grandma who came out. She was she was,
she was looking for you. She didn't give two craps about me,
like, wear's raws. I think he's funny. And I'm like, well,
Mammy's not here today and and all that. And she couldn't have she
couldn't have fired up that rascal faster to get out of there. I'm like,
all right, Merry Christmas to you. That's great, But no,
it was that was It was really impressive. We had people. We had
people pulling up I'm not even making this up. We had people pulling up
with like you know who had SUVs or whatever, and they would stop in
front and you just assume they're like, you know, mom and kids or
whatever getting out and then Dad's gonna go park it. And then they open
it and like the entire thing is stuffed to the point where like I don't
even know, probably a legal way to drive, Like you had so many
toys in there, and they were just random people coming in and doing that.
And then I went in the store and was was getting stuff. Because
here's the deal. I want to set it with what I thought. There's
a slight selfishness to this. I like to hunt and fish. Okay,
I'm sure many of you do as well, and you know that the biggest
problem other than moon back politicians, uh, trying to cut into your stuff,
but the biggest problem is access. I firmly believe that access. Right
now, everybody's got a feed, you know, some hunting land, not
everybody's got a boat, and so providing access, and even if that access
is just the ability to acquire the equipment necessary to do it, I feel
that if you like to hunter fish, this is and you also want to
do something that is charitable with your time or your money or whatever seed those
sports, do you know what I'm saying. So, like I went in,
I wasn't gonna get cocoa melon toys unless I was going to bring them
to the range, then I would get them. But so I was getting
fishing poles and stuff, and lo and behold, russ I walk into the
fishing aisle. They get all the kids poles. Do you know what they
have directly on the other side, machetes and hatchets? What machetes? Okay?
Are they machetes? Yes? Did they let you donate the machete?
They did not know what it was. Seven dollars a good deal for machete.
I am saying, what right there? And like our our promotion,
girls like I don't think they accept macheties. And I'm like, well,
you know what, then, what are we doing here? How are you
going to get to the secret fishing spot? Right? You get the spider
Man fishing pole, you get the eighteen inch blade, and you can hack
your way into uh act. Again, this is an access issue and I'm
trying to help. So I ended up just with the fishing gear, and
I hope the kids like that. But seven dollars. I almost got you
one because I'm like, seven dollars, that's a good stocking stuffer right there.
Seven dollar Well it is, and then it falls through the stocking cause
I would I would make sure it was razor sharp when he got it.
But yeah, but then I'm like, why do they have giant edged weapons
next to the two foot four to six year old spider man fishing pole section?
What a great country? Anyway, No, but thank you to that.
Thank you to the Marines who you know, put up with us out
there, especially some of my coworkers who learn your rank, learned to recognize
rank because it was anyway, that's a long conversation. But one of our
co workers, I was trying to explain that she was quoting ranks from like
Star Trek stuff that are not ranks that exist in the Marines, and I
just let her be. I'm like, yeah, yep, yep, absolutely
so anyway, all right, so yeah, no, good event. Good
event. Didn't get the machetes, but other guys perfect and some of you
gonna get cocoa millon stuff, so gird your loins for that while we take
a break. Thank you. Case is on ninety four five w PTI and
the Triad and one six one alf M Talk in the Triangle. Alrighty six
fifty six kco Day Radio program. Yeah, we had lots of fo We
had the Heart of Carolina Mustang Club came out and they brought all the filled
all the Mustangs with toys, and uh so you had this line of Mustangs
show up. That was cool, a lot of great businesses. And then
they unload all the toys for the Mustangs and almost all of them would start
I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm picking. This is from my Chevy Ford
argument days back as a kid in Wyoming. Don't take it personally not I
had some some pretty cool cars actually, so uh yeah, that was great
and thanking everyone who came out. We got to talk about if I just
make this awful transition. Oh somebody was asking, I'm sorry, somebody sent
me an email, what is the car? Why do you want? You
want me? I don't have a link to that particular Cocomelan thing, but
why would you want that? You know, want that in your life unless
it's for somebody else. Get somebody. Go. If you're gonna buy something
for like a niece or a nephew or whatever, get him some quality that's
gonna last, like a you know, one time I bought a Lincoln a
quality drum set, one that would last. He could probably would have been
able to hand that down through uh you know, as Lincoln aged out of
it. To other kids within the haze. Uh is he a prodigy on
that thing yet? Or because it was stolen? Oh? Really the drum
set? How old was he three or something? Three years old? Yeah?
Yeah, got them that nice drum. So somebody broke into your house
just to steal a three year old's drum set. I mean, we're getting
reports of like black holes and stuff. I have no idea where it went,
so weird. What about the ball when he throw it against the wall,
it sounds like glass breaking. I mean I enjoyed that ercifully. I
didn't get that for Ross, but I did get that for my buddies guy
that my old old radio guy used to work with in Minneapolis. I brought
that over and you know who enjoyed it more than him, his wife who
wouldn't talk to me for a little while. And they're cats. Oh you
should see what it does around cats man and his kid is Nolan Ryan with
that thing. So there's some ideas you don't need the Cocomelan thing. All
right, we got a transition. This this this story, this Winston Salem
beer Liin story is crazy and ironica. I actually know I know somebody that
this happened to if you don't know what it is, we'll share it with
you. In Washington insanity, Speaker of the House, insanity, and yes,
even Kamala Harris. Hang on, all right, good morning everybody,
and welcome. It is our number two here on the CaCO Day radio program,
talking about sports and charities and kids and machetes and busy first hour.
Unfortunately, the folks in Washington, they require some of your attention because obviously
so what happened over the weekend, well a few things. Congressman George Santos
was booted from the House of Representatives, over one hundred Republicans joining in on
that. And here's the deal. George Santos is utterly and entirely full of
crap. I think that was pretty obvious. I understand he's facing some criminal
charges over financial stuff, but I have to ask the question, is it
the job pre conviction? Right, the pre conviction to be throwing people out
of office? Is that what you want to start as a president? That
will, by the way, only ever go one way. There will be
no active vote of a Democrat who is accused of criminal wrongdoing, who will
be expelled by over one hundred of their party colleagues. So once again,
here's the Republicans in here. Jamal and I are going to agree on this
today. You guys are a bunch of idiots. And it's not that you're
being the bigger man here. It's that you need to operate and you need
to be the example of our justice system, and that is the presumption of
innocence. And there is a second way in which this can be dealt with,
should the criminal justice side of it not move fast enough yielding you an
answer, and that is he was elected to the House. Dude would literally
have you know, he'd be in campaign mode. But he wouldn't because he
actually said he wasn't running again. But they did it anyway, and then
to justify it. I saw, and this turn of phrase was crazy to
me. He was he was Walter Midty. He was a teller of tall
tales. He was somebody who was a serial liar who made stuff up and
would go around and either conflate things or just flat out make them up.
And that they had to do. They had it was so problematic that they
had to do something immediately. There were actual Republicans who were saying this,
and luckily there's nobody else in Washington, not just who's a liar, but
who is a perennial liar who goes around and in many cases tells the same
lie over and over with slight variations or twists. Luckily, we don't have
a person like that in Washington, who is shameless in lying about I don't
know, let's let's go hypothetical. I don't their kids, service their kids,
the death of one of their kids, the there's all, you know,
just like they would remember when they used to put like the Trump lie
counter, the blatant hypocrisy of having an unofficial impeachment investigation, which shouldn't be
just for telling tales about stuff on the campaign trail. I admit that one
hundred percent, but that you have more fervor to go after George Santos,
who struck me as a giant piece of human garbage. Well, the President
of the United States runs around screaming incoherently at people asking him just regular,
normal, slightly tough questions, but in a respectful manner, and then you
know, talks about and then insert whatever is the you know, here's I
remember that time. What was the one thing? Oh where he said he
what was it? He said he got strom Thurman to change his vote on
the Civil Rights Act, and then Strom actually voted against him. And also
the math doesn't math right that guy. It's just also irritating, and this
is where we find ourselves once again going out there and being like, all
right, we're gonna do what's right. I don't know that you should be
able to throw somebody out of Congress unless they've literally been convicted of a crime.
However, I also don't trust our criminal justice system as it pertains to
politicians. So maybe that's not a good rule, you know what I mean,
Because if that was the standard, then they would just find a new
way to manipulate around the standard. And it's pretty easy to manipulate. Seemingly
criminal justice stuff, especially in the district of Washington, tends to from a
jury of your peers, not exactly be a jury of everyone's peers. So
that happened over the weekend. Also a response by the Speaker of the House
Mike Johnson. Speaker Johnson from Louisiana. Speaker Johnson that guy dismissed Hunter Biden's
offer. The Speaker Johnson repeated exactly what I said on the radio last week
where this strategy by Hunter Biden's people to go, oh, we just want
to go testify in person, cowards, and then the media, who knows
full well that every single one of these almost without fail, operates in the
following manner. There is the deposition phase, then there's the public hearing phase.
And the reason is because if you just have the public hearing, you
go fifth Amendment, fifth Amendment. You also can go I'm sorry that deals
with information that is not public information. It is classified. And then once
they're done, getting them to do a deposition or a closed hearing is impossible
because they turned to the court of public opinion and go, you saw it
with your own eyes. They got nothing, which is why you have the
deposition. Then you have you may have a closed hearing as well. Uh,
and then you have the public hearing. And that's the standard, by
the way, that was utilized for all of the January sixth stuff and has
been utilized by both parties almost without fail. And uh, the speaker,
I don't know why it took Speaker Johnson, I don't know why it took
that idiot this long. I'm sorry. I'm just very irritated at every but
not everybody, Ross is fine. Most of you were fine. Some of
you are not, though, right here, because you're sending me cocomela in
facts and I don't want to have those in my brain ever ever. Ever,
all right, let me grab this here, Jeff. What's going on?
Hey? Regarding Santo's what? I forget the state he represents, But
don't devoters have the ability to recall him because the memory sellers. When he
aftery got elected, they was through. I remember reading an article just how
much he had lied about Yeah, it's truly, it's an impressive in that
nobody you thought he wasn't gonna get caught. I sir, he represents h
or represented Long Island and had the most conservative voting record within the New York
delegation and flipped a district that it's a Democrat district. That's the other thing
here. So rather than identifying grooming and reading his replacement after he said he
wasn't going to run again and then having him ready to go for the upcoming
election, now they're at the whim of replacement by the governor, and whoever
that is, if they're not too whack a doodle, will probably be there.
The Republicans gave a seat away, right, I guess wish the butters
of the state would have done a recall versus our federal legislature doing this.
Well, but they did. They did, no, no, no,
But hear me answer, they did because they were so angry with him for
lying. They let him know that he's dead in the water, which forced
his hand to go, all right, I'm not again, because by the
time you get a recall vot, it is the election. Do you know
what I'm saying, So the public that that's not what happened with Gray Davis
back in the day. I was living in California at the time, and
he was during the Enron thing and he hit fourteen billion dollars. I am
fully I am fully aware of the Gray Davis because unfortunately I was living in
California when they decided to give the guy another chance. But here's my point.
In New York, as I understand it, the recall election would have
coincided with the upcoming primarial election. So yeah, so what. But in
a way, it was the public telling him don't even try it, buddy,
or uh, you know, there's no way you're going to win.
So it was a softer version of that, but I hear you. All
right, thanks, thank you for the call there, Jeff appreciate it.
So like this, the whole thing was solved, man. And again,
if anybody come if so, if let's say, you expressed that this is
not the way they should have done it, the rebuttal that somebody will go
is, so you're okay with a serial liar. And if that's what some
moonbat says to you because they think they got you, just look at them
and I don't know, start playing that president, you know, the President's
entering the room, song on the you know, hail to the Chief on
your phone or something, and then just stare at them silently and thoughtfully.
That's all you gotta do, all right. Eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. You see this dude in Georgia let himself on fire
and not because of the game, no, no, no, the protest
or something. So yeah, yeah, we'll get to that and much more
right now though, seven eighteen hang on four in the troad. Hi you
guys, I gotta tell you knocked it out of the park this morning.
R E. L. I. Who wrote this? Is it? Paul?
Yeah, Paul Speck wrote this, so do you guys remember the story
here a few weeks ago when there was a request by Jewish Democrats in North
Carolina to be recognized by the state's executive committee as an independent caucus. And
I gotta be honest, I was actually surprised there wasn't an independent Jewish caucus
on the Democratic list of caucuses, because they have a caucus for everything,
man, right, yeah, the stuff you would expect. Obviously Black caucus,
Hispanic caucus, LGBTQ, they had one for people with men with six
fingers. On one hand, I hear those guys are not good people.
But they didn't have a Jewish caucus. And so, right, you know,
there's some stuff going on you probably heard, and so they thought,
hey, you know, now would be a good time that we we do
this and not just abandoned the party which seems to hate us. And so
they went to do it. And what happened, well, I didn't get
it right. They voted it down. A bunch of people have stained,
including the party chair, and it's you know, it's you math it out
and they're like, no, you can't have a Jewish caucus right now.
And I think most people looked at them and went that's insane. That is
absolutely how did that happen? And I talked about on the radio and I'm
sure you read about it. Okay, Well, guess what over the weekend
they did approve one but us to w R E L. Because when I
read this article, I think the Republicans were the ones who didn't allow it,
right, because they go in they pistol with Mark Robinson in here,
and then they let what is this what is her name? Anderson Clayton,
who's the the party chair or the executive director, I should say for Democrats
here they're acting like they thought this was a good idea and somehow the Republicans
didn't want it or something like that. The way it's written is awful because
it's not the way it would be written on the other side of things.
Because the reporter in this in this case would love to go after Mark Robinson.
I know this because he did in the article which wasn't about Mark Robinson.
So if Republicans did this, it would be a series of stories like
Republicans say, boo jews right and and and it would be relentless. Here
this writer makes it sound like the Democrats were tripping over themselves to do this,
and evil Republicans were stopping them. How the hell does this happen?
Yeah, I know they switched parties. Oh well you were you were so
busy helping the children this week game is the changeover. I'm so stupid.
Switched They swear they do that, So I don't know if you know this,
Like that's what's something they like to do? One big game of douchebag
red rover right right there on the Capitol lawn. Oh, they switched party.
That's how silly of me. Obviously, that's exactly what happened. They
switched parties. Prior to the first vote. The former leader of the proposed
caucus was accused of making Islamophobic comments. This is the excuses. Party rules
at a specific requirement that caucuses must meet in order to receive recognition. Some
members who with held support were concerned the group had yet to meet all the
requirements. Yet they don't list them. This is such bs. They realize
this look bad because a bunch of other people who are you know, in
the party, keep running around like Jay of Powell is doing an interview with
CNN. That's so horrified Dana Bash that she almost had to stop it because
every time Dana Bash on CNN would say, yeah, but what about the
Hamas raping women, Jaya Powell went, yeah, that's not okay. But
those damn Republicans and those damn Jewish people smart talk all day ninety four or
five w PTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle
at seven thirty six KCODA radio program. So while some in Georgia probably thought
about doing it Saturday afternoon, one dude did, and he did it a
day early. I'm referring to self immolation, only this had nothing to do
with football. A far left pro Palestinian protester reportedly set themself on fire outside
the Israeli consulate in Georgia, which, by the way, if you're demanding
a cease fire and then you set yourself on fire, feels like a contradiction.
Maybe that's just me, the person who set themself on fire. I'm
reading this the way it's working. I was rushed to the hospital in critical
condition, obviously because they were on fire and sustained quote full thickness burns all
over. Here we go, here's the statement we are sat in to learn
of the self immolation at the entrance to the office building, said the spokesperson
for the Consul General of Israel of the Southeastern US. It is tragic to
see the hate and incitement towards Israel expressed in such a horrific way. I
don't know. I mean, let's face it, the the act of doing
this is not a new thing. Didn't we just have a guy. We
just had a dude who did this for a different reason in DC, right,
And then during Trump we had a couple. I remember the one person
let themselves on fire during Trump. It was like in Chicago or something,
and they blamed Trump for it, like you know, Trump snuck in there
under secret Service detail and struck the match. So yeah, that's creepy as
all get out. Because if there's one one picture, there's quite a few.
But if there's one in that gallery that is among those that will always
stick with me, it is the Buddhist monk protesting in Vietnam. So it
definitely makes the news, and I guess that probably was the person's goal there.
All right, let me get over to this. I don't get into
the crisis actor stuff much because anytime there is a very divisive story inevitably I
get a hundred emails, and out of those hundred, you know, there'll
be a couple. We're like, oh, it's a the whole thing is
staged, or they're all crisis actors, right, it's all. Everything's always
a crisis actor, at least in one person's mind. However, this dude
over in Israel is a crisis actor. I don't care, I'm going there.
But it's more nuanced than that. So you've probably seen these photo mashups
of a guy by the name of Salai Ross. You have any idea how
to pronounce this Salai crisis sactor? Right? Is that? I believe that's
the p no i'l ju f we Maybe I don't know. But he's a
dude who, if you look at the pictures, has been uploaded to social
media, as a radiologist, as a tour guide, as a journalist,
as a fighter, as a father. He's not a father, and in
a bunch of these poses and in each instance they're photos that are meant to
stir ire for against Israel because obviously he's on the other side of the conflict,
which is fine, by the way, more than welcome to do that.
More than welcome as somebody who has described as a quote social media influencer
to post whatever he wants, but call it what it is, okay,
because what happens is those photos are not being used in a Hey, look
at this social media influencer going look at this poor guy whose baby just was
blown up by Israeli missiles, or look at this guy who's overwhelmed at the
hospital because of all of the wounded, because of the evil Israeli military and
so lo, and behold when it's blatantly obvious that these photos are being used
for propaganda and being used to permeate social media to try to influence people.
When people pointed out like this is the same dude over and over and over,
and it's not even in question because it is the same dude because he
posts it to his own social media, PolitiFact decided to fact check it.
Guess what, not a crisis actor, nor somebody who's attempting to influence you
know, sub subterfuge in influencing minds. No, he's just a social media
influencer. All right, we are not well Ross's Ross obviously has the you
know, the the twitch thing too, so but you know, we are
described here in although I don't like it. I like endorsements, not influencer.
But that's that's the catchphrase. And ultimately Ross and I are influencers.
We endorse certain certain clients, great clients, the best clients, some would
say, and we're upfront about it, and that's fine. But I don't
dress as a doctor. Ross occasionally dresses as a cowboy, but he's but
everyone knows he's not a cowboy, right, It's just dad. He's not.
He's not acting like he's live at a ranch, you know, and
he just got done with Russell. I'm sorry, what is this I'm holding
right here? What is that? It's shiny, it's made of metal with
it's a star of David. I don't know what a sheriff badge is.
What it is, it's plastic. I've touched it, you know that.
Right By the way, we had our client on Friday. You had obviously
you had you had to take you pick Lincoln up and do all that stuff,
so Ross couldn't go to our client thing. We had here, had
two of the clients who wanted to see your toy collection. And admittedly it's
not as impressive as it used to be. I just I see that.
Yeah, I did see this much. We're tightier than before. I'm like,
this is you have no idea what it looked like. It looked like
Fao Schwartz in here. But yeah, I'm like, okay, I guess,
just don't. Did they steal anything? I tried to keep an eye
on them. But but your sheriff badge. I saw it in there,
and all it's plastic. Good nay. Where's my goal playing and suit of
armor? Stop it? Where is my I am just noticing that. Where's
my Ric Flair robe? Where's your broadsword? Your Rick Flair robe? I
thought that was so weird. It was in an insurance claim or something.
I don't know it works with the company. But I need my my goal
plated suit of armor, my Rick Flair robe, my magic confused great sword?
Is what magic did you go with? What's that? Now? Is
it poison cold fire? There are different enchantments. Well, obviously I didn't
steal it because I have no idea what you're talking. You sound stupid,
Okay, all right, well what are you gonna do about it? You
don't have armor or a sword anymore, or a robe or nothing. My
point is just to sum this up. One Ross ain't actually claiming to be
a sheriff yet yet. Well one day maybe, but this guy is absolutely
purporting to be all these things. And shame on PolitiFact for pretending like it's
not that, because it obviously is, and it's to see the mashups.
The photo mashups is beyond comical. But what did you expect? Seven forty
five? Is it ken Boon today? Yes? All right? His team
won. It was all the way. I don't even understand it. Is
it because they didn't get to go to the well, Clemson wasn't even in
the mix, so I don't know, man, But what a what a
good day you have? It's uh, it was a little little moist over
the weekend, admittedly, but boy, it was a lot warmer and I
thought it was going to be in today. It's going to cool a little
bit. It's gonna be very comfortable. So what do we got? It
is temperatures are going to cool off a little bit today, cooling off even
more as we head through the middle part of the week, and then it
looks like temper just will climb back up towards the end of the week and
into next weekend. So out here today mix the clowns and sun depertures into
the low sixties this afternoon clearskuys here tonight, middle to upper thirties, sunny
day Tomorrow, cool upper fifties. Chance for a couple of showers Tuesday night
into early Wednesday as we have a front moving through, not a lot of
moisture to work with, but there could be a couple of showers with that.
But we're back to sunshine by Wednesday afternoon. It'll be breezy and cool,
low fifties, sunny and low fifties Thursday, and then back up to
near sixty Friday with sunshine. All right, thank you, Ken Well chatting
an hour sir? All right, all right? Also speaking of crisis actors
or at the very least people putting propaganda together, do you think, ross,
do you think that nobody taking the picture of the baby doll can see
is hey? Do they have eyes? Do you think? Because it's not
just this woman, there was a video of an older guy holding quote his
dead granddaughter. If you asked me, who has no artistic ability to like
sculpt a fake baby? And then you let me drink a bottle of jamison?
First, why are you holding a baby. Ross has a baby in
the studio. I can see it clearly. It's wearing a Santa head has
a big beard. What, Oh, that's a gnome. I'm sorry.
I was so that that's a that's a yeah the island Sanna. You brought
it back last year from your trip. Yeah, that's the surfboard with a
big old beard. It's obviously it's a miniature Santa. Yeah. I got
that in Tamorindo. Is that baby my baby? Why does your baby have
a surfboard? Very talented baby, dude. It's so well more on this
and yeah, we're gonna tweet it. And you look and you tell me.
Helen Keller ain't falling for that. Okay, it's bad and that's and
and yet PolitiFact didn't think that maybe that's something they should look at. We'll
get into it next. On one six one FM, talked and w PTI
two stations driving the best end talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's
morning news. Dude, we have two weeks left, two weeks. I
forgot to open the show with the most important news of the day and then
vac for Ross and I is it too. I haven't been counting it down.
I am so committed to do you have a giant advent calendar in there
where he scratched out Christmas and wrote vacation? I did somebody stole it my
Rick Flair robe and my magically enchaded sword? And what was it that my
goal plated? Are we what was it? It was the first thing you
noticed? Was it plated? Or is it actually cast solid gold? Again,
I'm not sure those things aren't important to me. By the way,
that would weigh like three hundred pounds. That's just not bro I'm fine,
okay. Ross is also trying to get paternity leave for two weeks for his
baby, who's actually a surfer Santa that I got him on vacation and not
a real baby, but hey, it works for some multiple different people.
Have I've been filmed in pieces released into the media saying, here's a grandfather
holding his dead granddaughter. Here's a mom crying over her dead baby. And
it's incredibly clear that is a doll, and not even a not even a
good doll, but like a really creepy edwood bad doll. And yet politifacts
going. He's not trying to put stuff out there as probably can he's he's
just an influencer. Okay, well, then what's he trying to ruins?
And that's what you're doing a fact check on? Gotcha? Absolutely? All
right, let me flip over to this. I think this will probably be
a I'd like, I want to keep everything civil, but I admittedly I
was kind of irritated that this is even a thing that's going on right now,
considering everything else that's going on, and I want to try to put
it in perspective. So over the weekend and kind of at the end of
last week, a little debate broke out, which you know that tends to
happen on social media whatever, over Guy Benson. Do you know who Guy
Benson is? I'm sure you do. You've probably seen Guy Benson. And
if you don't know who he is, do you know who Dave Ruben is?
I bet you know who Dave Ruben is? Both of which the Ruben
I don't know if Benson used to be a liberal, Ruben used to be
progressive but kind of light progressive. But both of them, when I see
them participating on social media, doing appearances on Fox News or whatever else,
I think they tend to be pretty spot on on stuff that I think that
they do a good job of really kind of being right in that where they're
not going to play the games, but they're also not going to let facts
get left out that are important. And I think that they're very useful and
they don't pick fights on social media, and when I see something that they
post, I tend to stop and read it because I think it's I think
it's thoughtful. But there's another thing you need to know about Guy Benson and
Dave Rubin. They're both gay, and they both are married two men.
And sometimes it's through that perspective that they opine, but most of the time
it's not. And I think a lot of people maybe didn't even realize,
but both of them are doing surrogacy. So they're having a baby, except
they're not having a baby because you know, science and some some editors,
specifically Ben Zeisloft, is not okay with this quote. Conservative commentator Guy Benson
and his husband have now rented a womb to acquire a baby, a move
which Reuben and the husband made as well. This is wicked and an abomination
before God and should have no place in the conservative movement. And that started
a whole thing and what I'm a little unclear. Does he mean surrogacy?
And then I realized he doesn't mean surrogacy. He means surrogacy among same sex
parents. And I'm going to ask this and you can approach it from a
religious perspective, you can approach it from more of whereas I'm more independent libertarian
on stuff like this, because I start thinking about, Okay, well what
does that look like twenty years from now? And I have to ask this
question. Consistent conservatives, thoughtful, practical, useful people who get things done,
would you prefer that they raise a baby or the spawn of AOC and
her fiance. What do you think those kids, respectfully respectively, look like
twenty years from now. So yeah, I don't say heavy topic for a
Monday, but this is the This is the kind of unforced air stuff that
I don't understand as somebody who's like live and let live. I feel like
their kid's gonna have a better head on his shoulders. All right, good
morning everybody, and'll welcome me. It is eight oh seven here on the
Cacoday radio program. And yes, I assumed it would stir the pot.
I know it's Monday, and immediately people are texting me. They're emailing calling.
That's great, that's what we're here for. We love it if you
called eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four And uh, And
I'm gonna do like I do, and I'm gonna slice and dice this because
people can feel however they want, but also people can weigh in on whether
they think that it's a particularly useful activity. And here, I don't think
it's a particularly useful activity. And I'll explain why. So it started with
a couple guys you're probably familiar with if you watch any of the conservative media.
You do the Twitter, you see uh daily wire stuff. Dave Ruben
does stuff with them, and and uh, you know a couple a couple
of individuals who I think are more are some of the more thoughtful conservative pundits
out there, uh in the in the in the form of Guy Benson and
Dave Rubin. And I think that they are very useful if you are a
conservative in doing a good job of expousing many of the values that that you
probably align yourself with. And they're gay, and they're married, two men,
and they are both doing surrogacy for a baby. I think actually,
in Ruben's case, they're doing double surrogacy because they want to have two babies
at once. So I point this out because for whatever reason, some conservative
editors ben Zeisloff started this and then a few others chimed in are not cool,
And I can't decide if they're not cool for the gay part or the
surrogacy, because some seem to be objecting to surrogacy, which I think is
interesting because then it removes the gay component and it creates a larger question.
And I know that there are some people who believe that if you're not able
to have kids in the traditional way, then that's God's plan, and by
the way, you're more than welcome to believe it. I tend to take
a more I think that when we move forward with science, you ever hear
it. And I'm gonna get to calls here in just a moment, So
hang on for those of you waiting, We're going to do that in this
segment. It's a joke, and I'm going to tell it wrong. It's
but it's also instructive, and it's the guy who's he's on his roof,
hurricanes come through, it's flooding everywhere. Guy's standing on his roof, and
all of a sudden here comes his neighbor in a boat, right, and
his neighbor's like, jump on, well, I'll rescue you. And he's
like, no, no, God will save me. And the guy's like
all right, whatever boom, I'm out. And another boat comes by,
and then a helicopter's over and it's the same exchange. No, no,
God will save me. I'm fine. Well, dude drowns gets up there
and he's like, stand in front of God and he's like, what yo,
I'm a good guy with the church. I tithed, lived my life
to the best of my Why didn't you save me? He's like, what
are you talking about? He said, you like two boats in a helicopter.
You jackass. He probably didn't say jackass, but you get the point,
right. And So I think that the utilization of science, as long
as it's not being used to make murder bots, I see that as part
of god plan, right, the ability to use the you know, the
the blessing of intelligence and things along those lines to troubleshoot problems arguably, and
I think, in my opinion, is and can be a religious thing and
not a purely secular thing. From that perspective, and I think there's a
lot of people agree with that because I'm brilliant, and so that's where I'm
at, and so I see the ability to you know, in vitro fertilization.
I see that as evidence of intelligence and and you know, something that
sets us apart from the rest of the quote unquote animal kingdom. But there
are some people who object, and I'm fine with that. So then I
have to look at it through the lens of twenty years from now, when
Dave Ruben's kid or Guy Benson's kid is in the latter years of their college
existence, they're really feeling their oats. Do I feel that that will be
a more productive member of society because of the values that will be expoused within
that household from a political standpoint, versus anything that AOC and her husband or
soon to be husband or husband depending on some of her filings, are able
to muster up because of the environment in which they are. And I think
that in large part, childs children are a product of their environment, and
it's why we have these discussions about single parent households and certain cultural issues.
And we see videos of kids four years old yelling death to Israel in those
videos that we're making the rounds over the weekend. And as somebody who's very
libertarian on a lot of things, because my policy is pretty much leave me
alone and don't be a jerk and we'll all get along, I don't understand
this. I don't think it's productive from a larger, bigger discussion on direction
of party. I think anyone who's willing to come help, you know,
build, you know, build the house or whatever, I don't think you
should tell him we don't need your help. I think that's the that's the
very trap that the Democrats find themselves falling into over that Jewish Caucus thing.
But that's just me. And if from a religious perspective, you don't think
that same sex couple should have kids, you're more than welcome to feel that
way. If you don't think that anybody gay, straight, or otherwise should
be able to use IVF, you're more than welcome to feel that way.
And if Guy Benson and Dave Rubin, who aren't asking me to call what
ignore side and to pretend one of them is physically a woman, they're simply
saying, yeah, we're two dudes. We're just two dudes. Who like
each other a lot. How does what impact does that have on my life?
And I think that that's the dividing line that needs pointed out more often
when we get into these debates about you know, I, gender fluidity and
things like that, because it's not non scientific that these two guys are are
you know, a couple. It's just different from the majority. But they're
not asking me to deny science. They're just asking me to leave them alone.
And I'm fine with that because I care what Dave Ruben or Guy Benson
has to say on stuff, and if they say something stupid and push for
something I disagree with, then I'll find them on that. But I thought
i'd throw it out because I think it's an interesting discussion. I think it
definitely divides generations, but I think it does so less than it used to.
And some people would say, well, that's because they push this narrative
so long. Maybe, but maybe also I just feel like there's bigger fish
to fry. But in the same way, I don't really care. They
can go ahead and live together and and you know, don't care. I
also don't. I don't care if you think that there should be not using
any science in the reproductive process at all, because if God wanted you to
have a baby'd have it. You're more than welcome to feel that way.
No skin off my teeth. All right to the phones, here we go,
Patrick, what's up? Hey? First, I'd like to say I
love iHeart radio because as a truck driver, I hear you guys all over
the country. Well, thank you, sir. I gotta saw my dear
with coffee and casey there. The other thing is, I think people have
to take their battles, you know. Unfortunately we can't have the world the
way we as individuals want it to be and everybody think and believe the way
we welcome to. So it goes back to a matter of constitutionality if that's
the right to baculator, because we can't legislate morality to a degree. And
I think you really hit the nail on the head when you use the AOC
as an example. I think if people are good source conservatives, then we
can't impose our own religious and ethical beliefs on them. I'm not going to
state in mind one way or the other, because I think one's got nothing
more nothing to do with the other. But I think people need to pick
their battles more. As you said, one, you know, be a
bigger fish to fry. If we have consistent, dependable, articulate conservatives,
I think that ought to be the issue. But they do in our own
personal lives. I'm sure there's some things that the people are the critics of
them don't particularly fly will fly with them? Right well? And yes,
and I think as you there are critics and they and thank you for the
cult. Sure they are going to be critics of the critics. And what
I mean by that is okay, so zeitslot us. He's against them,
you know, being husband and husband or whatever, but or specifically to be
going through IVF, to this surrogacy to have a baby. Some people's moral
problems begin at cohabitation of same sex couples, do you know what I'm saying?
Depending on how religious or if even if you remove religion, how conservative,
not from a political sense, but from a lifestyle sense, somebody is
right, they're like, I don't think people should be cohabiting if they're not
married. And you're more than welcome to have those opinions, But you know
what, you're not more than welcome to necessarily do sit there and decide.
I'm going to sit I'm going to tell everyone that if they want to be
able to live together, this is what they have to do. I think
that societally, that just wouldn't fly right now, and you're going to find
yourself very much in the minority. But that's just me. Oh and then
our other caller went away. So but hey, maybe I'm maybe I'm wrong,
And if you want to have a respectful discussion about it, that's what
we're here for. That's what we do. Eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four Ross do you ever speed? Never? You never speed?
You never, don't use your blinker none of that stuff ever, ever,
ever, ever. I mean I know you really don't or not much
of a speeder. You're just like a slow habitual like I go to speed
limit. The most I go is like five miles over. So you do
speed? I mean, I won't get pulled over for it. No,
no, no, no, no. Well are you gonna be sitting down
here in a moment we'll get back from break because that may not be the
case if the NTSB gets their way. That and much more coming up your
day Smarter one O six one haf M Talk News Talk nine PTI more with
case starts now. All right, good morning eight twenty and welcome Happy Monday,
case O Day radio program. The Vice president has herself some ideas and
it's not a good one. We'll get to that coming up here, probably
right after the bottom of the hour. Let me grab a call here.
I can't read my call. Oh okay, you wrote literally, Ross literally
wrote yadi my call screener. Okay, BJ, right, that's what that
is. Okay, BJ, Good morning to you. What's up? Good
morning, Casey. I've been this for a little while, first time calling
the COB. I just wanted to do a comment on the two conservative pundits
Uman Job. I'm not familiar with them, but I guess the issue that
if you looked at them, they're probably at that level where if you looked
at especially at Dave Reeb and he went, oh, I've seen that guy
before. But yeah, most I don't know that most people, unless they
really spend a lot of time in this, are personally familiar. But go
right ahead, sir, I would encourage people to look him up. That's
fair. I'm I'm a little a little more lazy than I should be when
it comes to you know, keeping up with stuff like this, try to
spook the news and whatever. But yeah, I mean I think the issue
that the editor that comment on it had had to do more. Obviously he's
from out a religious standpoint, and I'm coming at it as a as a
Christian conservative, and my conservatism is derived from my faith. I think the
issue that they're having, I don't if it doesn't sound like it's as much
as the whole thing of if I'm prohouping that right, Well, yeah,
I want to be clear. It's it's tough to tell from the first one.
But others who who jumped in to defend s ice Loft, their beef
seemed to lie more with surrogacy, And if they're consistent across the board,
then so be it. But seis Loft, I think it is the fact
that it's two men and surrogacy for them. Because he starts talking about adoption,
it's actually really strange. But I just wanted to make sure people understood.
So what is your perspective, sir? How do you approach this?
I approach this from this perspective that when it comes to right and wrong,
first of all, you know, like my moral standard for right wrong is
derived from what God says is right wrong, So it's simply it's vastly a
matter of opinion for me. But in this circumstance, I don't think it's
the surrogate itself. It's the idea of two men in the same sex relationship
have kids, which if he's coming at it from a biblical moral perspective,
then the issue there is the whole the whole situation, the whole situation of
itself, violates God's plan for what a family should be. I think that's
I think that's the angle is coming from. And it's not a matter of
attacking that person personally. It's just that, hey, God set down right
and wrong, and I mean you can have you can have feelings issues with
that, but from an intellectual standpoint, it really as simple as like God's
universe, God's rules. You don't like that, but I think that's what
the truth is, right, And here's the thing. I get that that
is where a lot of people are going to approach this, and they're gonna
they're going to care more than probably I do, because I really don't.
But that's Look, that's just my own personal thing. And I also recognize
that because we're fallible, right, because we're human that no family is going
to live up to one hundred percent of what God's plan and expectations are for
a family unit or an individual because inherently we're all sinners. Right, So
now we're getting into all right, So at what point does the sin get
so big that one needs to inject themselves into that individual's business. And that's
what I struggle with because it's one thing that if asked your opinion, like
if guy Benson said, you, bj, what do you think from your
perspective of our relationship for what we're wanting to do versus they, they didn't
ask anyone's opinion, right, they're just doing their things right, right,
and and and this guy decided to make an issue out of it. And
I don't think it's productive because I think that anything that pushes a more conservative
worldview, even if it's a secular one, ultimately is beneficial for people who
find themselves deeply religious because it's not pushing so far in the other direction at
the very least, it's all most like a lesser of two evils thing,
not right on the best example, And I think I get what you're getting
that, Yeah, yeah, lesser of two less or two you is the
right word to phrase that. But you're you're saying it does more, it's
more your Your argument pragmatically is that it's more helpful to have them quote unquote
on our side than to pick a fight when they're not going against completely like
against the grain, woke or something. Yes, yeah, absolutely, I
think. I think. I think the more that somebody like me, even
if it's on not all the issues, but there's more boxes getting ticked,
then that's I'm more likely to want to associate with that person. And you
know, up fair and if the other topic ever comes up, then at
that point have the discussion. But I got to roll the brake and I
appreciate the call this morning, sir, and I'll give you an example of
why I think that coming up. All right, Good morning, Height thirty
six here on the cac O Day radio program. So we're gonna get We're
gonna get some more calls on this. This is good. I wanted to
have this. And by the way, it's no hard feelings around. I
understand that some people get really really amped up. I've got some email that's
not very nice, and that's fine, but let me hit this, and
I don't want to be disrespectful, but I am going to be my standard
somewhat sarcastic self. Where is that this email? And what I'm failing to
recognize is that religion is finite. And I think that our caller to some
extent stressed that, but I think did so in the correct way. To
the emailer who's arguing that there is no evolution of interpretation of religion, I
would ask you if you've ever left your house, read anything aged or watched
in action the mindset of individuals. And I'll give you an example, which
is it's kind of a little not fair because it clumps people, But I
think that it's accurate if you were to just take a test and average fie
folks. Right, do you think people's people who would consider themselves Christian?
Do you think that their perspective on the humans, how humans arrived here,
and especially from a timeline perspective, do you think that that is evolved?
Absolutely? I think that And and this is not necessarily even me saying it.
I've talked to people who are in or who are pastors, people who
are we you know, we've interviewed uh folks from the diocese over the years
of on the cat from a Catholic perspective, and I think that when you
look at it, there is there's the stereotypical, say, he thinks the
earth the six thousand years old and Satan put the dinosaur bones to confuse us.
That's one perspective. There's also the perspective of intelligent design. There's there's
in the middle, there's uh. There is people who see many of the
things in the Bible, and I happen to believe correctly, so are allegories.
In some instances, they're also interpret it's the cant it's the ten Can
game. Right, it it will, it is the word of God.
From a New Testament standpoint, when they're documenting what Jesus said and what Jesus
did, it's also humans who are writing it. Right. We don't have
a book of Jesus. We have a book from We have books from the
apostles, and the apostles are recounting this. And also they're not you know,
they're not necessarily penned. They're not penned at the time of they're not
keeping logs on the road. They're the telling of these stories and these miracles
and these messages and everything. But humans, as I pointed out, are
still fallible, and so you look to that, you look to many things
in the Old Testament, and you talk and you chat with people at church
yesterday, and you listen to your pastor, or you're you're your priest or,
you're whatever, you know, whatever you choose to believe in, and
you do your best to understand that. So, yes, I do think
there's evolution, and I also think that things that were able to do scientifically,
I think that it is I think it is perfectly appropriate to believe that
God provided those skills to man, which you know, there's several things that
set us apart among other creatures that are specifically human, and people choose to
believe many people, the majority of people in many many countries who consider themselves
even believing in some way higher power. Where there are a lot of things
that are not explained and require you to go on faith. And I know
that we don't it's not a topic that we do for long periods of time
on this show, but I think that this was an appropriate time to pop
in. So let me grab a couple of calls. Corey, go right
ahead, Hy, good morning, Hey, So, first off, I
want to say that I think most people, whether they're religious, regardless of
the good or they're not religious, they're good people. But I do believe
that there are people who use hate, who use religion as a way to
hate, or to be ignorant, or to get for bigotry. You know,
you hear people talk about how it's against the religion for a same sex
couple to raise a child, you know, but I'm a I'm a former
foster parent and now adopted parents. My ex wife and I were foster parents
and our son was placed with us when he's ten months old, and we
adopted them a year later and now he's nine. But you know, when
he he was black, were he's black, we're white, and we experienced
significant racism from that. And I'll never forget this one time when we were
in a store and the registers were down, so the checkout tooks forever.
So I told my then wife to take our son to the car, and
this dude was didn't realize she was with me. He was started talking about
how, you know, I think it says somewhere in the Bible and that's
disgusting and that's not supposed to happen, and I let this dude up.
You know, So for all those who want to all those who want to
say that that they don't, they think it's against the Bible to do X,
Y or Z, then we'll step up and become a foster parent.
You have my children in the foster care system right now waiting for a family,
a loving family. So there's a loving couple that wants to raise a
child with good morals and values. For you to say they can't, well,
let me say that. I get just highlights it. Go ahead.
Oh no, no, no, no, go yeah, finish up and
I'll finish when I when you're done. Yeah, that's my last pieces.
I think this really highlights the struggle between religion and politics. They're intertwined and
it's unsolvable. Well and and and look, I don't begrudge people from allowing
their religious beliefs to inspire their politics. That's not a problem, right because
you know, if if you if you have a sense of morality that is
born from your religion, and you think that it is a morality that should
guide how you make decisions from a political standpoint for your individual self, then
I don't have a problem with that. No, I agree. If you
don't want to bake a cake, you shouldn't be forced to bake a cake.
It's against your religion. But it's also not your place to tell them
that nobody should have a victim the cake. Yeah, well, let me
know. Let me let me there. Yeah, well, let me let
me do that. I'm inspired by your story. How old is your son?
Nine? And? Oh wow, do you think he wants to be
a drummer because I'd love to get him a drum set for Christmas? Would
that he already has a Jerome said, he actually loves music and I just
bought him an electrical electric guitar, but his older brother had bought him a
karaoke machine last Christmas. And I will get revenge on him when he has
kids. Oh yeah, well that's that sparted parcel being a grandparent. And
I suppose all right, Well, Corey, thanks for the call this morning.
Okay, appreciate it, all right, and then let's grab Jason real
quick. Jason, go right ahead, Hey, good morning. My perspective
is I had a wife with the most unhospitable womb, so we had to
do IVF and my son is amazing, and I think that if you're a
person who's religious and you believe in right to life, then there's no reason
why Dave Rubin, which I listen to him and he's pretty brilliant on a
lot of things that you wouldn't rather have him be a parent than these people
are very fertile and don't know how to take care of their kids. And
it also, you know, ties into what you were saying about the biblical
view of things that being written my humans is okay, you know the earth
was created in so many days and the heavens and everything. It's like,
how do we understand time in God's right? Yeah, this is exactly two
things, just two quick response to you, sir. One is absolutely what
I'm talking about. And if somebody's if somebody's rebuttal or, I guess problem
was don't do IVF or don't do this, but adopt because there's so many
kids that are out there that need a home. I think that's a perfectly
acceptable position, especially if when they go to have a kid, if they're
faced with that, they make that decision. I think somebody can have that.
And secondly, I just spent three days in front of a Walmart,
Sir, let me tell you, if I got to make a list of
people shouldn't have kids, I needed several notebooks at this point. That's what.
It also takes a lot of courage to go and do IVF because my
wife was the daughter of two sets of one set of two sets of twins
within her Her parents, brothers, sisters sat oh wow, and then you're
already on chlom ed. So when they put into four embryos and only one
came out, I was very blessed because I was thinking I could be easily
putting more children than optimum. And then you know, the fact is I
told my son he was almost named Hannibal because four went in one came out.
It was like thunder down. Well that's good, give him that complex
as a kid. All right, sir, thanks so much for the call.
And on the science side, because somebody sent this. Yes, like
anything else when it comes to free will, science can be used for good
and just in moral purposes, and it can be used for immoral purposes.
So it's like everything else. You can help somebody through a tough medical condition,
or you can make murder bots. I mean, it runs the spectrum,
just like the weather. With Ken boon, although not much of a
spectrum. It's going to be pretty right in the middle. What's going on,
sir, Not much, it is. It's going to be a pretty
good day out there at for us today. Maybe a little bit cooler as
we head through the middle part of the week with just a slight chance for
some showers, but all in all, I think we're headed for a pretty
good week as temperatures will warm back up as we look towards the end of
the week and into the upcoming weekend. So out here today, mix the
clowns and sun. Temperatures into the low sixties this afternoon. Tonight fair to
partment cloudy sky's middle of upper thirties, slightly cooler heading into Tuesday, mixing
clowns and sunshine Tomorrow upper fifties. If we're going to see rain this week,
late Tuesday night into early Wednesday, a slight chance of showers. Otherwise
it's back to sunshine Wednesday afternoon with high temperatures in the lower fifties. Sunnay,
low fifties again Thursday, back to sixty with sunshine Friday. Thank you,
sir, appreciate it, and as he you tomorrow or is radio turn
Ray, we'll return tomorrow. Okay, all right, we'll have a go
on. We'll talk soon. Sh aight, you too, and Jeff Bellinger
joins us next hang on est show After the show is on the iHeart Radio
app. Search case O Day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app.
Hi, Good morning and welcome eight fifty two your Bloomberg. Now, It's
Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's happening on the boarding Casey stocks posted solid gains
on Friday, but the futures are pointing lower this morning. Now futures are
down one hundred and thirty one points two. More airlines are looking to merge.
Alaska air has agreed to buy Hawaiian Airlines. It's a cash and debt
deal worth about one point nine billion dollars. That merger could run into opposition
from Washington. The Biden administration has taken a stand against mergers. It's been
working to derail Jet blues proposed acquisition of Spirit Airlines. A federal anti trustwile
is nearing an end this week in Boston. A merger is in the works
in the pharmaceutical industry. Roche agreed to buy California based Karmat therapeutics. It's
a deal that could be worth just over three billion dollars. KRMOT has developed
a new type of weight loss treatment with mortgage interstrates through the roof. And
relatively few single family homes on the market, it is cheaper to rent than
to buy in many cities. Reports that nationwide, the average mortgage interest rate
on a new home mortgage payment I should say and a new home is more
than fifty percent higher than the average monthly rent. Business economists think economic growth
will slow and the unemployment rate will rise in the coming week. That members
of the National Association for Business Economics see a good chance of recession can be
avoided in twenty twenty four. In casey, if all of us do what
we say we're going to do, a lot of service providers can look forward
to a good holiday season. Fifteen percent of the people surveyed by Bank Rates
say they will be more generous with their year end tips. Despite tip fatigue,
people do tend to tip professionals with whom they have personal interactions. Housekeepers,
teachers, and childcare workers are the most likely to get tips, and
radio hosts you forgot to read the last line on there? Oh yeah,
we get so many we in radio get so many tips. Yeah, yeah,
yeah, send your money now. All right, well, Jeff,
thank you, we'll talk to Rosser. Sounds good. Ross Would you be
insulted if people wanted to tip you? No, See, you're like,
it's only only natural. You know what else is natural? The government more
and more encroaching upon your life. The National Transportation Safety Board has a voice
support This actually happened about a week ago, but I'm bringing it up because
people went, well, what do you mean by that? And now we
have some examples AI speed reduction technology to be mandated in future vehicles. Again,
every time they do something they raised the price of vehicles, whether it
was Obama mandating backup cameras to just a wide variety of tech. It all
means that next the next vehicle you buy is going to cost more because they
have to include these things they want to sell vehicles in the US. But
also this is more insidious because what does that mean? And it runs the
gamut and the soft cell that I read in this article here from a tech
Crunch says no, like it could be a something as simple as an indicator
in your vehicle. If you're exceeding the speed limit. Yeah, it's called
speed warning, and you know what, it's an option on a lot of
vehicles, and even if you don't get it in your vehicle, you can
get it for free. How any of you use ways, If you use
ways on the at while you're going to wherever you're going, it literally has
a little little thing that tells you what the speed limit is. And it
will go from black normal where you're either under or you're at the limit,
or it will jump up if you go over, and it'll turn red telling
you you're exceeding it. It costs you nothing, But that's not what they
mean, because then it gets more insidious. Well, the example they use
is a Dodge Challenger that a driver in Las Vegas sped up to one hundred
miles an hour as part of a street race and slammed into a minivan.
It was a horrific accident. And they're like, well, look, that's
what we're trying to stop. But my question is do you think it ends
with just that, And the answer is probably no, it's absolutely no,
because we know their track record. So instead of that, it'll be like,
well, look, yeah, I we don't want people doing one hundred
on a city street street racing. But also you know, anyone's doing more
than ten over that AI should tattle, or it should tell, or it
should throttle their vehicle. Look, we had there are governors on end,
but they're not law enforcement things. They're there to govern. The engine not
exploding, but they want this as an enforcement. How about your car sends
a message to the government says you exceeded eleven miles an hour, and now
you get a ticket mail to you. Yeah, this thing goes sideway so
quick, so quick. Or maybe they partner with Tesla and they get those
murder bots with the Tommy gun, which, by the way, there is
some CGI there, but it's still the creepiest damn video. So creepy your
weapons, sir? Thank you? Well, he's speeding, he did five
over. And also I don't have enough time to get into it. Like
I could see how criminals would disable on one vehicle. If they want to
carjack you, all they got to do is run you until your car would
shut off. I'm a slippery slope guy, I make no bones about it.
I'll see you back here tomorrow. Have anyone
