Remember, remember are you going everybody's sand I happy cast Day Tuesday, you
know, because it's the weekend. And then you get kicked the day because
at the mail and now I guess the I R S will hunt you down
you don't get it done today. But you know that's your reminder. And
I can to sit there and dwell on that. Lord knows. We talk
about taxes enough obviously here on the show, but that's usually just because they're
taking the money and wasting it on racist road reconstruction or whatever. The latest
little pet project is basically using it to buy votes to keep themselves in office.
But I digress. So you know that's a thing you've been warned.
Also, schools, man schools, school school school schools. I'm reading yet
another one of these stories yesterday where some kid thinks they can just go up
and punch a teacher, and and then I got to read apologist crap on
the part of what are some opposed to be adults? Can you imagine?
And I don't know, maybe maybe it was just the school I went to,
but I had to watch a generational argument. And if you don't know
the story, here's the story in Rocky Mount Police are investigating a fight quote
between a substitute teacher and a student that happened yesterday morning. Police and school
officials say there was an altercation between a juvenile student and a substitute teacher because
the teacher confiscated the student's phone. The student did not feel that it was
fair because the teacher didn't confiscate everybody's phone who was doing it. So the
student decided that he was a victim. He was being singled out or she,
excuse me, she was being singled out the snow the student. Yeah,
and so the student and um, the you know, there's a verbal
back and forth there. And I watched a video the other day where a
male student attacked a female teacher. Before I went on vacation, we had
a story where a teacher was viciously attacked. We talked about it on the
show. I believe that was also over a cell phone confiscation and that teacher
was getting beat badly, and even another teacher didn't do anything. And so
there's tons of these incidents. So they're arguing over the phone, the students
like, this isn't fair. Oh they changed they changed a line, or
no, okay, they added a line in this story. It's weird because
I'll read a story and then what happens after I'm like, okay, this
is going in the prep is I sent it over to Ross? I just
send a link and then he puts it all in a packet. And occasionally
in that little period of time they add something to lete something or change something,
so and then I have to figure out why did they do that?
Were they just adding more information when they're making a correction when it's a w
r L story, you never know necessarily why they're screwing with the copy there.
So let me ask this and then we'll get into the individual incident.
Did this ever happen when you were in school? Excuse me where a student
physically assaulted a teacher, because that would have been bonkers. Man. And
I'm sitting there and I'm looking at reaction to this story, and people are
like, well, what, you know, the students there, they you
know, it's a generational thing. And then and then and then people are
like, you know, because they want to defend their generation. They're like,
well, no, you know, obviously this is you're just picking on
it. You're just you just hate this generation, and it's a natural thing.
But I don't remember this happening. I don't remember this happening when I
was in school, and I remember, you remember the big incidents, right,
and um, you know, like the first time there was a pregnant
student, right, or if you lost one of your classmates in a car
accident and they had grief counselors there, or the time and I remember this
there was a student who, by the way, is now in jail for
life. So there was some early indicators and he got into it with a
teacher but it was all verbal, but it was so bonkers that it happened
in front of us, and I think it was I still remember what it
was what triggered him, but I don't remember the totality of the argument.
But we were all just like, oh my gosh, did he just say
that to her? He called a teacher, teach. This is the most
vanilla thing I can think of. He called the teacher teach and told her
to shut up. And you'd right, you'd have thought he just taged her
in front of us, Like everyone the whole room went silent. He's like,
why don't you shut up, teach? And she lost her crap verbally,
verbally and you know, another teacher who who was in the classroom next
store came over. It was a male teacher, and they took him.
They took him away, and he got suspended for a while, and it
was a whole big thing. But I don't remember a physical assault of a
teacher by a student. I don't think it happened. I mean, you
were in Wyoming, I was in New York. It didn't I can tell
you didn't happen in New York. But I can tell you another thing that
is different. When a fight would break out, the teachers would actually get
in and break it up. Oh yeah, I remember there was one in
the hallway. Because it was a very violent school district, there was one
in the hallway. Mister Hall came up. Mister Hall was old, he
was a certified genius. I think he was just teaching chemistry in his spare
time, enriched science. He came through and these two students that were fighting
in the stairwell, he beat them down with his cane. And you know
what, when it happened, everybody was like, of course he did.
He's mister Hall, He's gonna beat you down with his cane. No,
no, dude, dude, do you remember yesterday's show the caller with the
last names what was he's mister Hall and he breaks up fights in the hall
that was a stairwell. So yeah, technically, yes, I guess,
but yeah, it's different. And now you see these videos going around when
there's fights and not just like normal fights. Like these kids, when they
get you down, they will continue to kick you in your hand and beat
you with three of their friends. Three of their friends and one. Right,
it's not one on one, it's like three v one. And these
teachers will just either walk by like it's not happening, or they'll watch it
happen, or I'm sure some of them will take out their cameras and film
it. Well, the other kids are filming it with their phones, which
shouldn't even be a thing in school. But that's a different topic, and
it's a matter of Yeah, there was a big difference back then. Kids.
Back then, you would not even consider taking a swing at a teacher.
It's insane. The we had a fight that happened off school property,
and I remember a teacher did watch it and not break it up, but
it was it was after school, it was not on school property, and
It wasn't particularly violent as far as fights go, and I think that in
that case the teacher would have broke it up if it was on school property.
But she probably just had enough right and the kid who was getting punched
in the face was not particularly likable. But that was as excessive as I
can remember it. I'm surprised because you wanted You were in a much bigger
school district. We were one of the first school districts in New York to
have metal detectors because we had stabbings. I mean, it was a violent
school. High school, middle school was not a fun time. It was
very it was it was scary, it really was. So yeah, but
no, you would not swing at a teacher. Didn't happen. And this
is at a school where kids would stab each other. This is now you
mentioned video. There is video of this, all right, So let's go
ahead and get into this, all right, so you know what, just
hold understand this want to there is somebody who deserves no, I shouldn't say
it like that. There is somebody who, from a from a universe karma
standpoint, probably does deserve a not a physical smack in the face, but
just a reminder they're not doing their job. And that is whoever keeps passing
this student in English classes where she says things no, you did not,
keep, nobody else phone? Right, that's the universe needs to catch up
with that person, not physically, but just from a karma standpoint and just
be how do you pass students who say things like no, you did not,
you did know, not keep and nobody else? Phone? How is
that student now in a in a grade past flipping kindergarten? You know?
On that phone, there's you can read books and stuff you can do.
You can do educational lessons, you can play grammar games. Sorry, back
to the video, everybody else, that's why you do not can God,
are you gonna give you? Don't touch me? Don't touch me, girl,
don't touch me, touch me? Oh this I couldn't even imagine this
happening in my school. Somebody, get a teacher, Get a teacher,
Get a teacher, get get a teacher. Yeah, yeah, I one.
I think that the other students would have jumped in. I honestly do.
But I'm sitting there and I'm watching that, and I'm just like,
how how in this the person filming never wavers? Right, that's that's always
how it is, right, that's weird every every one of these fights.
And so he's somebody's like, well this has happening, I'm filming it.
Well, like when they those videos where you see it not necessarily teachers,
but like you see a student get because now now they group attack too,
which is just cowardly. Where they say it's that one v one, it's
like five v one. Yeah, And and that filming starts before the punch,
So whoever's filming is technically the sixth perpetrator because they're probably friends with whoever
it is and told all right, we're gonna we're gonna beat the crap out
of Jenny later. So then that person gets ready and then the others do
what the others do, and uh, you know, and so the filming
on these things is always fantastic. Betty Anderson is also a substitute teacher.
If you have not gone into a school recently to see how the kids act,
you would just be totally surprised at the disrespect some of them can render
as the adult, but you have to try to contain yourself. Yeah,
yeah, well let's see a lot of the students, um and and I
don't even just mean from a racial perspective. It slices a thousand different ways.
You know, they're ticking one of you know, they're ticking boxes on
why they're a victim and yeah, and yes they can even be assists white
male and it's a generational victimhood. So you run in with that attitude and
you have parents that don't parent, man, they're just they you know,
they acquiesced to their kids. But then they're talking about too like, oh,
the sub, the sub needs to show restraint. I think they showed
a lot of restraint. Yeah, because for the sub man, Because this
sub isn't oblivious to it's happening in schools as the other sub that you just
played said. Right, they're on social media, they see these things.
They see teachers being attacked and nobody's stepping in. They know how this is
going to escalate. I'm sure she has experienced in the classroom. Right,
the kids swung at her, She defended herself. She got the child on
the ground and she kept them there. She wasn't punching the kid in the
head repeatedly, She wasn't kicking the head. She was holding that that student
down, right, and until they got support back up in the classroom,
and because she doesn't know what she's right, came in and they took turns
kicking the student. So, no, four teachers, what is that not
how it played out? And it's not how it played out. No,
I thought the teacher showed incredible will restraint. Yeah, and if you're that
teacher in that classroom, and you've seen video after video after video go viral
of not only students being five v one or teachers being attacked right beaten in
the classroom. Remember we recently had that one with the kid with his switch.
His switch was taken away and he beat the crap out of that teacher.
This teacher isn't oblivious to what's going on in the world. This child
swings at her right, she puts her on the ground, and she waits
for a backup. I think that the teacher should be commended in no charges.
My opinion. You want another reason to have school choice discussions here,
it is right here, And hell maybe it's for the teachers, all right
eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four, it's say anything like
this happened in your school. Let me know. I'm just curious because I
don't remember. Ross doesn't remember it at his so it's gotta be yeah,
tell us all about it. We'll be back here decade on the calendar and
celebrating ten years on the air. This is one oh six one FM Talk
in the Triangle and near's talk you, PTI and the Triad. It's gonna
be fair. The child is slightly larger than a tea cup chihuahua ros,
but you're right in the sense that that is an effective disciplinary method. For
Ross is telling me that they used to hold his chihuahua down let me first,
got her to keep her from lashing out. The difference is that's a
chihuahua. This is supposed to be a person who can form words. And
I gotta tell you, man, if I just took it a swing at
a teacher, my mom would have explained to me how sad she was the
teacher didn't hit me harder while she was throwing my clothes in a trash bag
to take the orphanage with me. And I think maybe there's a little bit
of that going on, being told, Oh, the teacher should never do
that, Well, you shouldn't swing at the teacher. Ten years of news
twice an hour and Smart Talk All Day, naught four five PTI and the
Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. It sounds like
you guys are advocating for violence when you're rooting the cheron. Can't we just
agree that violence has no position in a classroom? Oh? I would agree
with that, But I also don't believe if somebody's pounding the crap out of
you when they're seventeen, that you just have to sit there and take it.
So you know, you know what's you strike me. I was gonna
say, sir, but I don't know the gender of the emailer here.
You you strike me as one of these parents, and I'll see him out
in public where the kid is losing their crap, right, They're screaming they
want something, and rather than dealing with the issue, you're either ignoring it
or you do the thing where you're like, well, we don't we don't
touch the student, the child, we don't raise our voice. So then
I got to sit there and there's some kids screaming and throw I saw a
kid literally ripping stuff off of a shelf in a store one time because he
want I only wanted something that was on there. I don't know this was
it a CVS or a Walgreens or what it was, the one literally right
on wake Forest Road over there, and kids scand that parents doing this.
They're not raising their voice, They're like, you know, we don't do
this. They're not even saying no, they're just like in this calmvoy And
the kid had an annoying name too. I can't remember. It was some
new age hippie parent name or name that parents would give their kid. And
they're they're not even physically stopping them from ripping staff. And they didn't pick
anything up either as a kid moved along from where and they never raised their
voice and never even really yelled at the kid. What was your first watch
the video? We tweeted out a lank tell me your first reaction. It
fits one where you're like that child needs a verbal intervention, then God help
your kids. Ross and I were talking out there. Ross your first thought
watching that video and when you're dumbing in the audio, it's because we've seen
it. We've said this before. We've seen so many of these viral videos
where it goes in the opposite direction, where where the teacher beaten down senseless
or the kids will go five v one and beat down another kid senseless.
And then when the teacher, when the teacher was assaulted by the other student
by the student, yes, the teacher, the student swung and when the
teacher put that kid on its back and held him down. I literally let
out an audible yes in the studio like Rocky just turned the tide of the
fen And what you're saying, yeah, i'd let you're say in these calm
like don't do that. You can't do that. Listen. I have an
autistic son and he can get very There could be a switch that is switched
and he can get very violent. It can be very it's it can get
bad, like a lot of screaming and yelling. Imagine like a toddler on
steroids with no safeguards and that kind of No, you can't know. Sometimes
you have to step in and you have to stop, and you have to
raise your voice. And the reason for this is eventually my son is going
to be an adult right over the age of eighteen, and if he had
if he does that behavior out in society, two things are going to happen.
Either a the other person is going to hit him back right or the
police are going to step in and arrest him. It can go in those
two different ways. So I am trying to prevent that from happening in the
future. Right, So when those violent outbursts happen, sometimes you have to
pick him up and put him down, you know what I mean. You
just have to because if you stand there and you're like, don't do that,
don't do that, little Tommy, don't do that, eventually someone he's
going to do that to the wrong person, and that wrong person isn't going
to be responding the way that you are, and it's going to be very
bad for your child. Now, I will say this, among some of
my favorite videos on the internet are somebody who is an adult, not necessarily
somebody who is the same situation as Lincoln, but somebody who is, you
know, drunk at a bar right and they apparently can no longer delineate size,
and they're like, I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go scream at that
guy who's not even doing anything to me. He was a foot tallered me.
And it's the old you know, screw around find out foh yeah,
yeah, yeah yeah. That being said, you wonder how many times they've
pulled something and they've never suffered that repercussion leading up to it. And the
I the first what was Tyson's What was that thing that Tyson said one time?
He goes everyone's got a plan until he get punched in the face,
he shaid. Two of them mean, I saw that quote, and there's
another one I was thinking of. I think it was him where he said,
you know, people had a lot more common sense respect when you could
say something and not be afraid of getting your ass beat. Yeah, it's
paraphrasing. You know. Now you can just go on the internet and say
whatever you want and there's no consequences. Back in first day, that didn't
exist. And if you said what you're saying to some people on the internet
now in real life, you would get your ass kicked. And it doesn't
necessarily mean that they're that they're legally correct to physically assault you, because we
have a real problem now we're like words or violence. However, the reality
was that it might happen, so you needed to be strategic about the way
in which you handle things because there's some crazy people out there. I mean
that's literally like when Lincoln has had one of these like really really bad,
violent outbursts, and we say it him afterwards, We say, you know,
if you were to do this outside the house, someone is going to
really hurt you, right, because if you're having these violent outbursts and you're
punch and pushing people, most people aren't gandhi right. Most people aren't going
to sit there and take it. Most people are going to defend themselves and
punch you back, and it's really gonna hurt or. We tell him,
the police are gonna come and you're gonna go to prison. You're gonna go
to jail because you can't be acting that way in a society. You can't
do it. How many people do you think share that message with their kids?
And then you watched what happened in downtown Chicago the other day, and
you have to reevaluate the percentage you hoped it was if you didn't see what
happened in Chicago with all those teenagers. They just took over the city,
trashing cars, stealing cars, breaking window do whatever they wanted. And the
mayor, the brand new mayor, who is a communist. That's about me
just calling him a commy. He wouldn't even he wouldn't even like he said,
well, you know these are these are kids who are victims. These
are kids he couldn't like condemn what was going on. That place is doomed.
Man. All right, let's get calls, folks. Holding on mark,
you're up first, Go right ahead, boy, Yes you hear me,
I can hear you it okay. So I'm twenty three year educator and
I had a talking about ten years ago where students congregating the Commons area to
school one day and U two students getting a fight and then the basketball coach
come in to intercede to break up. So I've come to pull one kid
back. He's bigger than I am. So you know I don't want to,
you know, get I don't want to become a a part of it.
Year get hit. I come up behind the stud it, get him
in what they used to call it a full nelson, arms up, My
arms up under heads and hold him behind it, behind the head, and
I pull him back, and he sweaming back and forth trying to get his
head, trying to trying to get loose. And when he's about to get
loose, I just take my foot and kind of sweep under his end of
his feet. We both go to the ground and I'm about doing them thirty
pounds and I fall on top of him, and the deputy gets there at
that point, and that the coach has the other student. We get the
fight, We'll get the fight broken up. But I had to intervene because
it could have gotten asked. We were having some uh that having some issues
at the time of the unit of these you know, riots and stuff like
that, so we were trying to have things off. But the point of
what I wanted to get to say was that there was one of these students
about the social worker intervention uh specialist stats and went to the student that I
took uh from the sight, went to that student's mom and was like,
you need to press charges against against this guy. So I'm like, uh,
you know, they come back to me, they find out of press
charges against the other students against me, against me for the way, because
I put hands on the student to break up the fight. Yeah, yeah,
that that was the teacher, the student advocate social worker went to the
student's mom, well, the deputy, share administration. They reviewed the they
reviewed the film, didn't find any fault at what I what I did,
what I did, and when they tried to you know, go and you
know and proceed with charges against me. They said no, you know,
they looked at the film, they reviewed it. But that was, uh,
that was probably ten years ago. And uh, that what the last
time that I what is that? Is that a position with the school social
working a position within the within the school? Yeah, oh good lord,
Yeah, yeah, I'm so you know that I'm not in that I'm not
in that district any anymore. And I'm you know, about five years away
from retirement. But and I think about that, and that was the last
time that I ever got in between two students, you know, with that
with that going on, because I don't want to you know, you know,
you know, risk my career. But but but that's that's something to
happen with within the within the within the school that that social workers do.
That appen the person went to that student's mom and I'm like, you know,
you know, you know, what if if you wouldn't have done anything,
and that other student had gotten the better of the student that you pulled
off and severely injured that jud And I bet that advocate to be telling mom
to sue of the school for not doing anything. So, uh, that
exactly exactly one of them things where you you know, you can get something.
It's like a new winning situation. Fortunately we had video. The deputy
that was thought that was there, you know, spoke to the actually to
the oh god, what do you call it at the district level of the
courts, the magistrate. He went and said, you know this, he
said this, this, this can't happen. And uh but I had the
right all night outside. But yeah, that's the true story that happened.
That's last time I haven't got in between uh tween any uh any students to
try to break break something up, because again, I've got a livelihood too,
and I wanted to I wanted to tire, and I don't want somebody
else to own all my stuff. You go, we had you know what
that actually remained. Thank you very much for the call their market. I
don't blame you one. Thank you going all right, yeah you too.
I remember there was two girls that were fighting and one of the two teachers
that broke it up was a male and it was somewhat so the girl was
freaking out. She kind of like jumped up when the teacher grabbed her like
and all the teacher that was hug around. I remember that girl was what
I was telling people in the school that the teacher grabbed her breast and I
watched it. I did not see that. I you know, I don't
know, but it sure as heck wasn't some weird, pervy, opportunistic teacher.
The girl who he literally grabbed was beating the cry, I mean,
beating the crap out of this girl. I don't remember her name. Her
name was Shanna, and she was she had she had a rep for beating
up other girls because she was very good at it. And and I don't
know if that allegation got made in any criminal sense. I don't remember that,
but I remember she was running around the school saying that. So,
you know what, that teacher, what incentive is that teacher ever have getting
in between something like that, especially as if female students going to claim that
that's crazy? All right, Chris, go right ahead, Hey man.
I grew up not far from Rocky Mountain, actually, uh in Wilson County,
Finnish High School in nineteen eighty five. I think I was a junior.
I was in biology and I took a squid. I put it in
an old girl's desk and she squeaked out. Yeah. And the biology teacher,
how I knew it was me, but I recognized that anyway he knew
it was me. And he grabbed me by the shoulder, snatched me up
out of my seat and picked me up against the wall. And it never
crossed my mind to hit my teacher, that right, never crossed my mind.
And and and you know, he was a good guy. I went
to a few a few years later. But uh, yeah, I think
tea should be armed. I think the teacher in Rocky Mouse should be vindicated.
Our kids today getting called way too damn much. They need a built,
they don't need a social worker. Appreciate take him a call. Do
you have a good day? Yeah? Well? Can I ask you a
question, Chris? Did your parents find out about it? Did your parents
find out? What was their reaction? You know? Oh? Okay?
Do you if they had, do you think that they would have got a
social worker and threatened to sue the teacher or do you think they to beat
your butt some more? My day? To beat my ass? Yeah?
I think I'm fifty six years old. I'd still be sitting on a bucket
to drive. All right, all right, Chris, I appreciate the call
this morning, I himself a good one there. Yeah, that's what I
kind of figured. All right, we get one more call on this real
quick. Janet, go ahead, hey, Casey and us on the call
in and help this out. How that long girl got through kindergarten went out
being able to speak any mother than that, So I guess it was close
at twenty years ago, or maybe even more. I want to know.
The schools suddenly decided that holding kids back might be too traumatic or hurt NFSY
ones too much, So they're just not going to do that regardless of performance.
As a matter of fact, I advocated for one of my kids to
be held back because they were having trouble they needed a little more time in
that grave. The teacher was like, absolutely not. We don't do that
anymore. And I can't believe you've asked me too. Of course I've asked
it cha. I want my child to get an education. You want to
you want to weep? Go read the comments under a TikTok video, but
not just for content, but for structure, abbreviation and everything else. Right,
I mean, I try to avoid those things because I have enough stupid
in my life. Without adding to it. So I'm trying not to readcomment
on Facebook and tik well TikTok king is stupid right there. But yeah,
yep, yep, all right, Janet, thank you very much, have
yourself a good one, Okay, you need say? All right, so
everyone's on team should have beat her butt? Moore? All right, I'm
good. I'm good with that. Um oh, we got a ton of
email here. Oh yeah, sixth grade. Uh, this was sixty five
years ago, our listener seventy seven grow up in Delray Beach. Teacher was
an older lady student named Marty slapped her. We never saw him again in
school. I suspect not that would have been the that would have been the
legendary thing that happened at the school, wouldn't. I mean, if somebody
had struck a teacher, I can't even imagine. All right, six to
fifty hang on, ten years of news twice an hour and smart talk all
DAYPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM talk in the Triangle.
All right, Well, we'll get into more phone calls coming up here in
the next hour. He's got a short segment here, real quick story though.
Ross. Let's say that you and the wife got into a disagreement and
it escalated to the point where she started throwing chicken wings at you, um,
some delicious buffalo wings. Do you feel that you're being assaulted in that
sense? I would feel like that was more like seduction. Okay, uh,
I just had a horrible visual and I'm you know what you guys do
you so? Um? Well, down in Florida, apparently police had to
get involved when exactly that happened. Let's see here, there we go click
the wrong story for a moment. So down in Florida, a couple or
police get called over a quarrel, a lover's quarrel. When they show up,
the female is seen with quote wing sauce under her chin. Well,
is that necessarily evidence? I mean, they eat wings sometimes, that happens.
However, apparently she was mad because she thought he was going to see
a woman. He said he was just going to drinking with his friends.
Verbal altercation escalated, at which point he apparently picked up a thing of wings,
a buffalo wings started throwing him. Well that you should be arrested for
wasting them, for sure, but yeah, yeah, so they did.
They arrested him, all right, good morning. Everybody did a seven and
seven kc ODA radio program. So we've got a few things going on.
By the way, did you just watching this video during the break there?
Do you see Justin Trudeau flipping out yesterday? Ross? Did you see the
justice and Trudeau was was big mad yesterday at Twitter? Did you see why
I love watching him? Whine man? So Justin Trudeau held a press conference
because Twitter labeled the CBC, which is the Canadian Broadcasting channel or corporation excuse
me quote government funding media. Anybody want to guess where the majority of funding
for the CBC comes from government? And I noticed that Twitter did this because
if you remember, the public broadcasting folks were upset obviously a couple of weeks
ago. And the way that they actually listed is they list the percentage of
the funding that is government, that is from the government. And to pretend,
I don't care how much you want to sit there and say that you're
completely autonomous, the fact is that when government officials are making decisions about funding
for you, it obviously is a political thing, right, and you're going
to have those who are advocates and those who are not advocates, and it
can be for a variety of reasons. You know, and like the programming,
they don't like the programming, or they recognize that you're never going to
be truly independent if your purse strings are partially, even partially attached to government
funding. And I think it's a fair conversation to have when you say that
you know a company is or a corporation for public broadcasting, is it is
labeled here in the US, or the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. It's fair when
it's to say that there is a distinct check that essentially goes to them versus
companies that avail themselves of more interesting ways of either deriving revenue or offsetting taxes.
Those are fair conversations. But it's not fair to sit there and say
that it's an attack to inform people that the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation receives sixty nine
percent of its funding from the government and is going to benefit likely financially more
if it appeases government whoever's making the decisions on those funding, whether it is
consciously, subconsciously, whatever you want to say. So anyway, he was
all upset, So yeah, and he said it's because Canada is trying to
do something to crack down on He's big. He goes, Oh, we
don't need an American billionaire to do this. You realize that in the grand
scheme of things, you don't have the purchasing power of two of our states
Canada, and you don't have the population either of one of our states.
So I you know, goad, I guess, go ahead and hold your
press conference. And I don't you know, I'm sure people in Canada like
Twitter just fine. I know that they do, because anytime there's a there's
a story on Twitter where somebody is you know, they're like, oh,
this young boy got injured, and then there'll be some go fund Me portion
of the story that there'll be some account He goes, we have free healthcare
in Canada. You all are Neanderthals, So I know they're on I know
they're on the Twitter, and I know that they also don't understand what the
word free means. But that being said that, you know there's a lot
of Canadian users how does and I'm sure most of them are probably aware that
the CBC receives government funding, so that to put that label on there is
an admission that you feel it is that people would find knowledge that you,
in fact, received money from the government to strain your credibility. Is kind
of an admission that maybe you shouldn't be receiving funding from the government. And
I've I've talked about this before. The most amazing, one of my most
amazing memories in radio is working the entire radio career for a private company.
Not just not just iHeart who I work for now, but I've worked for
a mom and pop owned station. I've worked for a medium sized corporate radio
entity, and then obviously the largest radio entity in the world. I work
for all all variations, and I have never walked into a radio studio that
is more technologically advanced and staffed than the time I strolled into the Minnesota Public
Radio offices in Saint Paul, Minnesota, where Garrison Keeler does his show out
of technically it's the fifth Geerald Theater which is next door and the studios,
and it was crazy, and you don't being in radio, you don't fully
appreciate it. And unless you understand all the different pieces of equipment that go
into the air chain, as we would say, you know, get the
sound of my voice to your ear. And I've never seen anything like it.
I've got a buddy I went to high school with. His name is
Seth and he works for NPR in Albany. I believe it's in Albany.
And he showed me a pitch of their studio, same thing. It looked
like the enterprise F for like an Enterprise D or something. And I asked
him, like, well, and he's worked there now, God, I
think as long as we've been out of high school. And I'm like,
well, what do you do all day? He literally just sits there.
He doesn't, he says, he pushes like two buttons an hour. Yeah.
People don't realize that when you get into the high end boards, like
the really high end wheatstone boards, that you you can automate them. You
can automate every aspect of them. So even so when you have the newest
equipment, the board, the board that is physically sitting in Rosster's studio is
the first generation of digital boards. This thing, I mean, we had
this in the g studio back in two thousand and six. It's the same
board then we had back then, and even back then it was sort of
old. It like it wasn't like the newest thing in two thousand and six.
So I don't want to know how well this thing is. Salt told
me, our former engineer told me one time, and I started, I
just chuckled, which is a testament to how good of an engineer that he
and others have been to keep that thing up and running. But it's a
first gen digital radio board, and um, and that wouldn't you wouldn't use
that as a doorstop in a public radio setting. It's it is, it's
crazy, and not to mention all the revenue that was being derived from many
of those public broadcasting TV characters. So yeah, did you sorry, I
was in the front. Did you see the update on the CBC story maybe
you mentioned it on the air? Go ahead? What was that? But
because they said we're gonna leave because you're calling his government funded, So Elon
tagged them with seventy percent government funded, and then he moved to sixty nine
percent. Yes, because I didn't realize, did it really he started at
seventeen then dropped Yeah, I know, somebody said, given the benefit of
the doubt, So he said, all right, you know what, I'm
gonna say sixty nine. So now when you go into the CBC account,
it says sixty nine percent government funded. I'm sorry, I'm too. I
think that's funny and so to see. And he's the richest man on the
planet and he is he is. Trudeau was so mad in that press conference.
He's such a what a silverspoon piece he is. He is such he
is such his father's son. And you know that stuff with the truckers.
We got a story. We're gonna get into this at seven thirty five.
If you have not seen the video of Raleigh police gearing up to go bust
that protest against uh, basically the government shut down, you're gonna be enraged.
I'm angry. I called a police officer, uh that I know who
worked for the department, and I'm like, this is enraging and he's not
in the video, but um, I'm like this, this makes me so
angry. And this is the problem is is this is rank and file.
This isn't just leadership, this is rank and file officers. This is this
is this is what destroys trust. And we had a little conversation yesterday.
Um well, we'll get to that story here in just a moment. Let
me grab a quick phone called Jamal. Just got a few minutes. What's
up. Hey, Casey, I'm farm Rocky mount Man. I just gotta
say, got a little elon. I'm farm Rocky mount Man. I graduated
from Northern nash And with that Rocking Mount Sehi's rival Chasey. That teacher did
everything she could do to retreat. Everybody keeps saying, oh, she need
to restrain. How about you start restraining your children to teach your children.
But I just want to say, this is the single para hall crout coming
back. But Casey, if you look at that video, that student she
comes by, how the student the teacher's desk. That teacher had her cell
phone as she started walking and going back to her desk, that student started
following her behind her desk. That student had no business, no right to
go behind that teacher's desk. The teacher also picked up the phone. The
calls I think as sror oh student resources to get somebody in there with her
to help and the student. If you look at the video, the teacher's
back is a discus and substitutent where she's still a teacher. The teacher's back
is against the wall. She got nowhere else to go, She got nowhere
else to retreat. All she says, she's up, back is against the
wall. You got the student constantly coming at you, showing you regress behavior,
showing you they were they're about to fight and attack you. That teacher
trying to you know, put your back, hey, get away from me,
Get away from me, Get away from me. And so the student
swong and hit the teacher in the faith. And when she's and like I
said, when you you play stupid games, you win that stupid taty that
prize. The teacher didn't even start like swinging like punches. That girl was
storing punches at The teacher first thought back long enough to get control of the
situation, took her down and sat there until the situation was calm. But
I want people to also notice the way they was taking the camera. If
you take notice of people doing a lot of recording, that person that was
recording did and will start to turn away when that girl started getting aggressive toward
the teacher. And now this is my personal thing, Casey, people out
to see the videos is disturbing, Casey. That's those students who that student
who was recording that video, she was actually trying to get that teacher in
trouble because when You see that girl when the teacher started retreat to go behind
her desk, you see her turn her phone, and it's like, why
are you not letting us see everything? But that teacher did everything possible,
all possible restraints. But this was not going on when I was growing up.
If you were to attack the teacher when we was glowing up, you
was kicked out of school. Like these kids got these cell phones you chasing.
I thought I was super smart by taking the getting me in a long
Sony headphone system, running it up through my sleeve and putting it on my
hands. I got like, I'm putting a hand on my desk so I
can listen to music. But they took your headphones, your your shity players.
These have the Student Teacher Organization, Black Lives, and I as may
and Obamas and let's not to get Obama and quote, I'm really tied up
against the clock here. But I look, I hear what you're saying,
and yes, yeah, And it wasn't just cell phones. Uh. We
had the game boys. Man, we had got your game boy went bye
bye. When I was in school. That thing that's June box, that
goes in the June box and you ain't gonna see it till the rest of
the year. And you know what, tell your parents are not gonna do
a damn thing. They're like, good, I don't gotta buy you batteries.
Get out of here. So all right, jamal appreciate the call.
All right, everyself a good one. Yep, yep. Oh yeah,
you didn't see that till the end of the year seven twenty Hang on the
show. After the show, it's on the iHeart Radio app. Search casey
O day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All right, I'm
gonna grab one last call on the teacher thing. It's gonna be very very
quick though, so just because we got to get into this this uh this
Raleigh PD stories. Oh, just prepare yourself, Jake, about a minute,
go ahead, Hey, good morn I'm gonna pick it back on,
jamal Umu. The kids today are going from shame to fame because every kid
out there wants to be the cash me outside girl. Yeah, cloud man,
got to get the cloud. Yeah. And when I was in school,
when I was in the shop class, and we had a teacher and
his name was Walt, and uh we we if we did something stupid where
we drew blood on ourselves with somebody else. We had to go around to
school all day long wearing a sign saying I'm stupid. You know it's funny.
My shop teacher's name was also Walt, and that's that's are all wood
shop teachers named Walt? Is that how that works? I don't know,
but this is the metal shop teacher. The other guy was named mo oh
No, shop was named Jerry. So yes. Yeah. The reason why
I had to wear the sign was I kept leaving the chuck and the chuck
key and the child. You can serf and be a bullet through someone's head
or whatever BS they told us. So all right, I gotta jake.
I got a roll. But thank you very much for the call. Yeah,
yeah, that's how would have played out for us too. Celebrating ten
years and still going strong. Thank you. Casey is on nine four five
w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.
All right, everybody, welcome back seven thirty five here on the case
O Day Radio program. Uh, let's go ahead and get into this video.
So um. Obviously, as things kicked off, going back to COVID
and the shutting down dismantling of everyday life, you know, oh, two
weeks or fifteen days to stop the spread, which obviously turned into all sorts
of abuses, in my opinion of your constitutional rights. Arresting people for trying
to go to church. The famous video, remember that dude is running on
the beach in California by himself and like there's nobody, there's nobody for It's
this huge, wide shot, and then all of a sudden you see a
couple of police trying to chase them down they were unsuccessful. To dumping sand
in skate parks, to roping off portions of stores for things like seeds you
can't even grow your own food, just all of this sheer stupidity, and
people started pushing back, arresting folks for trying to go a vehicle church,
and people gathered to protest, and he couldn't have that. Well, you
could eventually have that, and the governor would even join you, but not
at first. You couldn't have that, or at least not in one direction.
And you saw gatherings by a group called Reopened endc and the one of
the one of the people who was organized there, the woman who was organizing
that she was actually arrested. She was arrested, and um, it didn't
deter folks from continuing to gather, get together and express their dismay and in
some cases the protest. There were protests where people were not wearing a mask
and the the useful idiot meet would go down and film it and then people
would be horrified. I'll look at these monsters. They're trying to kill They're
gonna kill us all something's got to be done. And what happened police were
called in to clear the protests. Well, there's a video of some body
camp footage that was posted to Twitter was preceding the actual clearing of the protesters
and the eventual arrest of the woman who organized it. And it's basically something
you would expect to see anytime police are going to involve themselves and not just
clearing a protest, but maybe monitoring one or providing any large scale safety thing
and frankly something they do before each shift, right where you have a commanding
officer or sitting there and explaining, all right, here's what we're gonna be
doing today. Except there are a few things that stand out in this video.
One how jovial and the laughing that you see on the part of some
of the officers there. And again this is the big dividing line here.
It's easy to sit there and look at things like what the treatment received by
our state auditor and how different that was based on what it would have happened
to you or I if our car was found idling on top of another car
nearer bars at night and you were nowhere to be found. Right, you're
looking at, well, what are the higher ups doing? But in this
video you see officers who are not CEOs. These are not you know,
these are not high ranking officers who seem positively giddy about the fact that they're
going to go and they're going to bust up the gathering of folks wanting to
have their say, their pushback on what appears to be violations of their rights.
Not in a violent manner, not torching stores, shattering windows, you
know, breaking car windows, but instead just being visual and being there at
saying this is not okay. Who the hell are you? Who the hell
are you governor to come in and decides you're going to do this stuff?
Who the hell are you? Judges? Useful idiot judges who were shopped for
specifically, who would tell people they can't go watch cars drive around a track.
Turns out, by the way, that a lot of the things that
they were being told they were the reasons they had to do this were completing
under bullcrap, and no one was accountable because the governor and his political party
constructed a phone screening system so that critical questions couldn't get asked the governor for
years, for literally years, And these folks were going to push back,
and these police were gathering to go and deal with this. And I want
you to listen to this. I'm gonna pause it, and I'm gonna point
out a few things because it's this is what is. So I just caused
me to go positively I rate yesterday or the other day watching this thing because
you ross visually anything you notice about the officers from a COVID protocol standpoint,
when you watch this video you stick out to you. It pissed me off
too, all right, So uh, just just touch on those points.
How were the officers dressed? First off, they were getting a kick out
of it, and then they were there, there's no mass, there's no
safety protocols at all. They're they're right next to each other, they're they're
chatting them. There's a big crowd at one point in the video, there's
a big crowd of them. None of them are wearing anything right, and
they're all being instructed that, hey, when you're breaking up these people,
make sure you put on your masks and stuff all of your safety protocols,
you know, so it looks right. But in no point during this pre
meeting are you following any of the protocols that you're now about to go enforce
on people who are arguably enjoying a constitutional right. You should be arresting yourself
at that point because you're doing it. You're arresting people for doing what you're
doing at that moment. This when you hear people go, well, don't
worry because most police and most military are you know, they're conservatives, so
they never go along with this stuff. I think that what you saw there,
what you saw during the not just this video, but the totality of
it, like in Australia where they're kicking doors, Canada, places all around
the United States worldwide. I don't know how you delude yourself with that.
I mean, I'm sure there's a line for everybody, and I'm sure that
they're officers who understand that hypocrisy and understand how bad this makes them look.
But this makes the rank and file look bad. Here is the audio from
it. I you have to watch this video though. Do we have it
on the website or we just tweeted out? I just said on Twitter Twitter,
Okay, yeah, because it's not um So yes, go watch this
video at Casey on the radio. Here is the video. Listen to the
instructions. But in your minds, I understand nobody's wearing a mask, and
nobody's socially distanced, and they're about to have to go break up what is
not a violent protest in any way, shape or form, I might add
and m and just listen to the way that they're reacting, especially this one
female officer. Basically to a bump policy, you would be the NF don't
have it, and pretty mud think you're gonna wrestle on the law. All
right. So, by the way they're referring to who the person they're referring
to is their commanding officers giving you'll hear him speaking here in a moment,
and basically the response he received from protesters, which was pound sand and they
didn't throw anything at him. They didn't try to light him on fire,
hit him with a Molotov cocktail or frozen water bottles, or you know everything
that was done to these very same officers when they weren't allowed really to break
up large scale gatherings that the governor endorsed, walking with his stupid mask hanging
off his ear right when the when the city went downtown was being set on
fire, and you have business owners calling the police for helping. Nobody's coming
to respond. My buddy's in his business with a shotgun. He's inside of
his business with a shotgun, and nobody will come. He and adjacent business
owners sat inside their their stores or storefronts for two days, terrified that everything
they owned was going to be looted, burned, you name it. Good.
Ye have my own conversation blow Freeman and what it was all said done.
And you see the videos that already online and every day. I mean
it's obvious that you can't allow it. You see it happened, and then
we already gotten in. We cannot allow this scene to happen. According to
Lauren Freeman, uh da and this um uh the the CEO here, it
was one was told to go pounce, and he's instructing, with no mask
on, with his officers standing interests apart, we can't allow this to go
on until they're planning to do this. Get that students off to getting right
this time and hope that we won't have to go to the same and next
season. If you're there arresting, make sure you have blows, make sure
you have met so make sure that we're having a copy up. You can
be equipment all that we're addressing until that, um I can kind of us
that has to support my plim that this public cloakay, So listen to what
he's saying. He's saying, make sure you have proper equipment on. And
the reasoning is not because it's medically what they believe is the correct thing to
do. It is because they know that the cameras from RAL and ABC eleven
and CBS seventeen and everywhere else are out there. But also from a legal
perspective, he knows that the defendants might be able to push back on an
arrest if the officers themselves were not masked. So he's saying, make sure
that you have all of this on so it will support and the claims that
I'm going to need to make and Lauren Freeman's going to need to make to
prosecute. You make sure the theater is right yet exactly Yet, it's like
that you see Ted Lew and the Democrats enjoying bud lights yesterday where all the
labels are pointed out and they're holding them so as not to obscure the label.
Yeah, everything they do is just for a photo of It means absolutely
nothing. So that is what's going on here. And this is after I
got to listen to this female officer referring to them as M efforts. Didn't
some officers get suspended for comments they made on bodycam that were far less aggressive
during the burn it down? Uh? You know justice protests? I think
they did. So these folks, you don't want to have their business closed
or M efforts? What's that woman doing with a badge? That's all?
I thought. That was the attitudes that needed to be purged. At least,
I thought, what the rest we get that? Yeah? All right?
So then they go over go watch the video at seven forty seven.
Let me do this real quick, sorry, raced agent. I just know
it's crazy, man, Do you tell me gathering with your officers, no
mass, no nothing to go arrest people for protesting that and then you have
to gear ups. You don't look like hypocrites. I just I was so
angry watching this anyway, all right, make me not angry. Give me
no, you're gonna love this. Um. If you don't have any plans
to be outdoors the next few days, make them now. There's no rain
till the weekend, lots of sunshine. Now there is a statement out from
the Weather Service there's a high fired danger, so if there is ignition,
whether man made or other, fire could spread quickly. So we'll just mention
that. Here's the daytime highs through Friday today seventy six, Tomorrow eighty two,
Thursday eighty seven, Friday eighty four, so it's basically mid seventies.
Then the load to mid eighties for the rest of the week for everyone.
Nights will be in the fifties. Next chance of showers for Saturday as we
cool down. But I think we're gonna squeak out one dry day over the
weekend, and even Saturday doesn't look like a bunch of rain. It's not.
It's not gonna rain all day. Maybe half the day and that might
be in the afternoon, So not bad. I'm gonna take it. You
get six out of the next seven days gonna be dry and sunny. Enjoy
it, all right. Hey, you know, why don't you get homeless
people? It'd be great sleeping outside. So you got to a little for
you, all right, Thank you, sir, appreciate it. And with
this video eight eight, eight nine, three four seven eight seventy four,
we've talked about how the everything we saw during COVID fundamentally changed I think the
relationship with teachers and parents and not for the better. And I think it's
unfair to good teachers. I think when you watch videos like this and you
see some of these incidents, even people who are proponents of law enforcement done
right, which which I am, and I think a lot of you are,
you see stuff like this and it it hurts. It hurts that relationship
even more and it and it hurts the ability of officers who are trying to
do the right thing and do a good job to ever be incentivized to continue
to do that because through no fault of their own, who those who are
not participating in this and maybe even those who would make a point not to
and push back when you're having to listen to the other officers talk about what
a bunch of m efforts are about to get arrested. If you have a
problem with that in one sense, you need to have a problem with it
in the other. And this video right here, if there, if nobody
is if nobody is affected in any way, shape or form, then it
is a net negative for the ability of people to trust Raleigh PD. And
I don't like that because it also can be more dangerous to officers and it
can be more dangerous to other people if an officer feels that they have to
get more aggressive to get their point across. This is what they use them
for. But they many of them look like they were enjoying the hell out
of it. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Back in
a few in a decade on the calendar and celebrating ten years on the air.
This is one six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk WPTI
in the Triad. Now the just to follow up to the charges against uh.
Her name is Monica Usury's probably mispronouncement um. But the woman who was
arrested the mffer in this case not my words. Um. They did eventually
dismiss her charges, but not before she incurred significant legal fees. I understand.
So sometimes that is the punishment there. And um, yes, um
I did. I did hear from somebody I know who said that from a
law enforcement perspective that there were rally PD officers who did face disciplinary action for
things that they said that made it onto body camps. They didn't say it
to protesters during the burn it down riots as I call it, um,
but rather because they were on body cams, which under Freedom of Information acts
can be requested, they made derogatory statements and they were punished. So my
question to law enforcement leadership is, how about we at least start with punishing
those who you know, refer to people who are non violently protesting as m
effers. If that's the standard you want to take personally officers, because their
body cammed all the time, you know they're gonna be there's gallowed humor.
There is the same frustrations like when Ross and I are in a studio talking
about something a salesperson did it. Yeah, where you're venting, you're letting
off steam. But if you want to make a point to punish people for
calling those throwing frozen water bottles at them naughty names between themselves, then you
sure as hell better be punishing people referring to non violent protesters as m effers
who you seem so excited to go and arrest. Yeah, what are we
doing here? And you know, for the officers out there listening to this,
who are equally as frustrated, is when did you vent concerns during this?
And how was that met? Leadership matters and leadership inspires stuff like this,
and when you have who had the commanding officer holding this whole this,
you know, this pre meeting, this game planning meeting, who's literally talking
about manipulating the theater of it um And that officer, by the way I
understand, is retired now. So uh, that's that's the attitude that's going
to permeate. This should make you very very angry. I know it didn't
me. We'll be back all right. You're morning, everybody, and welcome
at this hour number three here on the case O Day Radio program, we're
having a little b discussion over a body and stipp at a body camp video
dating back to one of the initial protest over COVID restrictions. Nobody gets to
leave their house, no church for you, no going to eat Speedway,
no selling Porsche, certain things in stores. Hell, if you're a small
store, you probably can't even open. If you're a big box you can.
All of these things that people saw as trouncing their rights. Panicky government
control that in many cases was ill informed or very much smacked of politics.
And people said no. And so they gathered outside on a nice day to
say this is not okay. And as police were gearing up to go in
there, they themselves held a meeting, which is not unusual when police are
gathering for policing a particular event or whatever. But the meeting is them with
no mask, standing right next to each other in some cases, making comments
that have been punishable offenses and other incidents, and then talking about how they
better put on all the gears so that the theater looks correct. And there
was coordination or at least a phone call between the PD and the district attorney.
And it showed you how un serious they took the very things they were
looking to do. And I understand somebody send an email and said that you
know, officers are in many cases not subject to the same laws that we
are for the purpose of doing their job, and I understand that it is
necessary in some cases. If you're a police officer and there's a guy who
flies by it ninety five miles an hour in a sixty five zone, obviously
that officer is going to have to violate the speed limit to catch up to
that person. I get that officers are allowed to manipulate digital devices while driving
that we would get pulled over for it would be an offense. I do
understand that although there is the ability also to abuse those of those privileges where
you see a police officer speeding and there then all of a sudden you see
them pull into a Hearty's and you're in your mind, you're going, well,
do they need to what was going on there? I don't know about
all that, But that's not the same as going and arresting somebody who then
incurs legal fees, substantial legal fees for doing exactly what you were just doing
and more so violating people's constitutional rights in my opinion, so no, that's
not an excuse. But on the flip side, going back to the comments,
while they're irritating, it is the visual that is more irritating to me,
and I you know, I think it. I think if you're going
to have a policy as it pertains to people gathering during that period of time,
you can't treat it that differently and there'll be no repercussions. And the
governor strolling around with folks ahead of a night of vandalism and want and destruction,
me having to change pharmacies, Yep, I'm making it about me because
hey, we're going to burn the one case he likes to go to down.
Screw all that, and you're destroying the positive, any positive thoughts that
people are going to have from a department perspective, and it will make things
more difficult for officers who do want to do their jobs and do want to
make a difference and not treat the public like crap. And there are a
lot of them. There are a lot of people that are very professional at
their jobs. And as you see with these cities where lawlessness is the norm,
now there is a need for officers listening to the durham Mare during her
State of City thing whine about high crime rates while she and her political buddies
are so pro criminal in the sense that you know, we're we was given
another chance. We'll give them another chance. By the way, I saw
a stat yesterday in New York and it said that of the twenty thousand shoplisting
a shoplifting offenses, there were only three hundred and nineteen individuals arrested. Not
because there were twenty thousand additional ones, but because the recidivism of shoplifting up
in New York City. Literally three ninety divide twenty thousand by three hundred nineteen
people, and that's in one year. So there is a need for law
enforcement to be professional to do their job, but also a need for there
to be a trust to be trusts there and it's it's damaged with stuff like
this. All right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four
to the phones. Here we go, Dennis, what's up, Hey,
how's it going today? Good sir, good, real quick. Just wanted
to comment on your integrity and ethics of the officers who stand by and do
their job correctly. I used to work for the Federal Beer of Prisoners,
retired some time to go, and I used to be the cameraman when we
had to go in and do you supports moves on inmates down and in a
special housing unit, and you never ever moved that camera. You never candidate,
You kept it on what was happening because you had to maintain the integrity
of the innate as well as the staff to protect them. And then and
later on I would have you know, let me say this verse nine.
The nine percent of staff I worked with during that time, we're outstanding staff.
They followed their job, they did the integrity. But then you had
the Fudy would come up to you afterwards to go, hey, man,
you know you gotta kind of can't that camera. I'm like, that's not
happening. You have to maintain that integrity and the ethics that you have been
taught to protect yourself as well be in me. So what also also,
yea, let me say this too, because I want to. I want
to. It's to have every bit of your day recorded. I look,
I I don't have a problem. And maybe it's because I had a lot
of police officers in my family and I've heard them talk and they would use
the term dirt bag and stuff like that, and generally they were describing what
I would also consider a dirt bag, right um, and people that's how
people they distress there's camaraderie there, it's but it's then how you present yourself
from a public standpoint, And it's not easy when you're wearing a camera that's
recording everything that you're doing. Absolutely and I do with that. We did
the same exact day. We you know, we knew an innate who was
a deliberate troublemaker because he had a lot of time on his hands and he
was a inmate who was stepped down because of his point system to drop.
We had a lot of those inmates that would come down there at our facilities
and staff would not know how to deal with them. That was the biggest
tall We didn't We didn't have weapons, we didn't have the times before I
left, they just started issuing see us gas. You could have to check
it out and it was part of your stuff every day. But we had
suits, verbal judo and that's how we and that's how we dealt with inmates.
Now, I get it. The police officers out there were dealing with
an entire different mindset. I get it. And God bless him. I'm
back to bloom and all that good stuff because I am the next LLEO officer.
However, there is that time, Like you said, you have to
distress and you're talking amongst yourself like, hey, I know this dude is
no good because look at him. I'm into the reports he'd had throughout his
lifetime in the facilities, and now he's here with us because the penitentiaries are
dumping out their loan their low classification innates. But then when they get these
smaller innates or the smaller facilities and the staff don't know how to deal with
them, that's when the travelers come back again. But I appreciate you taking
my call, man, and nice to have a great day, man.
All right, I appreciate it too, Thank you. Ross. Maybe you
should run for police chief of Raleigh. I don't know that you can run
for that. Do you want to simultaneously be Water and Soil supervisor, police
chief and sheriff. You know they say absolute power corrupts absolutely, But I
think I could handle it. I feel like there's corruption here already. Someone's
going to do something. There's corruption when you're sitting there and you're handling these
two things in such different manners that you're arresting these folks and literally providing protection
for the governor. So he strolls among other groups. And I'm not saying
that everyone who was walking with the governor then turned around and burn stuff.
That's not that wouldn't be the case. However, these folks were not doing
anything other than gathering, and so there is a there was a there was
a lot of politics here and that's where the corruption lies. Nicole, go
right ahead, O Casey. Yeah. I watched the video, the bodycam
footage this morning, and I was actually at that protest. I was parked
next to Monica the whole time, and so I definitely, you know,
I watched it because I had a personal connection there. But it made me
so mad all over again to see the officers getting together and the bodycam from
the one officer that was released even you even hear him in the video saying
like, what are they doing wrong? And unfortunately, no one said anything.
No one stopped and was like listen, we're violating their constitutional rights.
No one, no one cared. I later did talk to Monica and asked,
and she said that there were a couple officers that were like, I'm
not arresting her, She's not. Like they were kind of bickering amongst themselves
about who's going to actually arrest her and on what charges and obviously they were
garbage charges. They have been dismissed and so this is all just it just
erode at the public's confidence and trust in not only the police but the edicts
that Cooper was putting. It. It's just another it's another layer of like
the fraud and the nonsense that we've had to deal with for the past two
and a half years. And it got me mad all over again because it
just was it was crap. It was just complete crap. And the body
cam footage shows it well. What I mean, what an amazing perspective too
to have been there and now in hindsight see the conversation that took place ten
minutes before you and your group where the officers showed up. And I'm glad
that there were officers saying I'm not doing this. And I've seen plenty of
incident videos where and I think that it's a good thing where an officer is
saying, you know, this person is interfering with my investigation because they're filming
from you know, a public space. You see a lot of the auditor
videos where you'll have an officer who seems to have their head on straight,
come up, generally as a senior officer and say no, you're not arresting
this guy. He can sit there and film whether that correction is made.
And that's a positive thing, right, because sometimes maybe people are new and
they just and there is a way where officers who are good at their jobs
are very successful in the verbal judo, as the caller put it, in
dealing with the public. And there are ways in which officers just go along,
either with the politics or because they didn't receive the property training or any
of the rest of it. And we can't at a time when we need
law and order in many cases where cities are spinning out of control, that
is so important that that trust is not eroded. And and then we see
the care the night of the Knights of Care in downtown Valley, and we
see our cities, our businesses destroyed, and it's just complete garbage. Because
I was at I was at that first protest and I went back to like
the next ones that that they had the only shred of like, ah,
Stephen, not all like not all the officers are trashed. Was they did
say, they were like, don't we just don't arrest anybody? That had
their kids. I didn't bring my children the very first time because I really
didn't know what to expect. But then the next time when we marched and
like the officers like block traffic and like let the reopen NC protesters like marched
through downtown, I did bring my children later. Um, but yeah,
it was just it got me founded up all over again. I was feeling
all the emotions all over again from that day. And one thing in the
video that I saw from the article, the reporter that was doing the voice
over, he said that the people that were in the back of the parking
lot where Monica was couldn't really hear the commands. And I concur with that.
We really couldn't simply because of where that that officer was had the bullhorn
or whatever it was, we really couldn't hear. And that's over there too,
it was. And plus like people were honking like we had been told
we actually have been told to stay in our cars. I stayed in my
card the entire time. I was like blasting music through my car, and
like, of course they told us to honk and whatnot, And so a
lot of people did stay in their cars, like the reporter had said,
Now, there were plenty of people that were out and about, but yeah,
yeah, I just I want people to watch this video. I think
people understand how the protests was going down because the news ran video basically saying
you all were trying to murder grandma. Um, of course. And you
can compare and contrast that to some of the other and thanks for the call
there, Nicole, Uh, some of the other stuff. But um,
it's just it's just rage inducing to see stuff like this. Absolutely, man,
all right, Tim, go right ahead. Oh yeah, I'll just
call him to comment about the video. I was a former Rallig police officer
for a while, and uh, you know, having to live through that
hypocrisy and just created an internal conflict for me. And that's a you know,
you know, arresting people for you know, protesting the day being shut
down for you know, nonsense virus and but yeah, we can but the
city and the city burn. I just had enough and I resigned after all
that. Um I now, I don't know. You probably sure you talked
to what is the I talked to some of your former colleagues, what is
what is the opinion of the new chief? Because the current chief wasn't the
chief when that was happening, and I positive things, so and I okay,
all right, and look, I hope that's the case, and I
hope that this chief recognizes that this is um, this stuff is cancerous.
And I guess we'll see. I appreciate the call this morning, Tim,
Yeah, thank you, Yeah yeah. Did you go to another department or
did you just get out of law enforcement? Well that's you know, and
that's and thank you very much for the call. That's the other thing.
And it's the same discussion with teachers. You sit there and and you,
um, you run folks that do want to because they're not willing to go
along with what feels like a broken system, and you run them out and
you're never going to achieve change, but you'll achieve compliance, and then everything
reflects whoever the decision makers are, all right eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four. A couple other stories we gotta we gotta get into.
Um, we got a little little Twitter influencer who apparently got his fee
fees hurt and maybe a shoulder too, so we will get into that.
A really strange like ceremonial story. I saw this thing's crazy and uh much
more all coming your way eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four
and incident at Caro wins we got to talk about. So that's all right
around the corner here on the case O Day Radio program one oh six one
FM Talk and ninety four five w PTI, two stations driving the best in
talk. This is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right,
there are a few other things, little tit bits, nuggets of information surrounding
this video, and it goes to the bigger issue here. One the the
officer you here in the body camp footage, who's leading this this this game
plan session, this pre meeting. Um. It is also also, apparently,
says claims to have had a conversation with a variety of other folks,
not just Lauren Freeman, the Wake County DA, but also head of Capitol
Police, uh and uh several others who were quote all on the they're all
cool with this, They're all on the same sheet of music. I believe
it's the term that was used. And it shows you how this stuff plays
out at every level. And um, also if you don't know how the
whole legal proceedings against the woman who's arrested Monica Usury played out, This went
on for two years, eventually was dismissed. However, the details, oh
I should say this too. Also, her attorneys apparently were not We're not
given the footage even though it was requested, and eventually when the charges were
dropped, it's my understanding that the judge instituted a gag order, so Usury
and her attorneys and anyone involved, they couldn't even tell the public what the
hell went on in that courtroom. So you wonder, how do you get
a scenario where as state elected official can monster truck another car and officers are
are not allowed to, you know, go investigate and carry this out in
the way in which it would have been for anybody else. This is how
it happens. You got everybody grease and everybody else all along the chain of
command here, all the these people who are in these position positions of power
who don't give a crap, and you know, we got it. You
know what, let's ross, let's do this. So there's a new chief
of police there and Raleigh, she wasn't the chief when this was going down.
I have heard officers say that they have a genuinely positive a generally positive
opinion of her. Let's see if she'll come on the radio. I want
to talk to her again. She wasn't the chief at this time, but
I this has to be something where they you know, she is sitting there
and recognizing I hope that this is not a positive thing for the department she
now leads. And I want to know if she thinks that this was handled
correctly incorrectly, or a giant double standard existed, and if she doesn't explain
that away, and if she does, how she's going to ensure or this
doesn't happen. So uh yeah, send to send him an interview request.
I'm sure they'll get right back to us. And by the way, just
so those in the chain of command who are probably irritated because you think I'm
going after you, I am. If you agree with this crap, you
don't have any business in law enforcement. But just know, I know,
I know all the stuff that's happening. Okay, I know you guys just
called a meeting for nine o'clock today, so don't score around. Come on,
let's have the conversation and maybe some personal reflection on the part of people
who want to sit there and talk about how they're going to go arrest the
mffors and enough with this gag order crap. You need to be transparent about
this. Let us know what's going on. I think, I think not
just the people at the protest, but anyone who falls under this jurisdiction or
any jurisdiction, because this stuff. Obviously Raleigh gets the brunt of it because
people were wanting to show up at the capitol and protest, but a lot
of those people there were several people from Greensboro, from our Greensboro audience who
went over to these and you get over around Graham with a speedway that stuff
that went down. I mean, the stories runneth over. We had the
incident in Winston Salem with their trespass and where they're basically making the officers go
in and trespass people and be the bad guys here, and then the business
owners if they didn't do it, they themselves could get in trouble. So
these are important conversations. They need to happen. And we'll see if the
new chief will come on and talk about how we make sure that this doesn't
happen again. I think that'd be a good conversation. Now A couple other
things I saw, one of the crazy I gotta share. This story is
one of the craziest I guess, religious stories I've seen in quite some time,
and it's like out of a Saw movie. A husband and wife committed
ritualistic suicide together as part of a human sacrifice fire altar thing. I don't
even know how you describe it. By building a improvised dual guillotine, the
husband and wife simultaneously decapitated themselves over the weekend, positioning the guillotine machine on
a slope so that once the guillotine had severed their heads, the heads would
then roll into a fire altar as a form of human sacrifice. So basically,
they build like a thing from a Saw movie. And they sent their
kids to their uncle's house and then wrote a note saying that they were It
was written saying the couple had taken their own lives. It was part of
this ritualistic sacrifice, appealing for family members to then take care of both the
elderly parents. And they're two well now they're two children who are now orphaned
obviously, and man, the whole thing's just crazy. The couple had been
worshiping the god Shiva. They were Hindu, one of the main deities of
Hinduism, and had constructed an improvised temple with a fire altar slash sacrifice pit
and then successfully, you know, did what they did. And they say
that the couple was not facing any financial or relationship hardships, no medical issues,
and they're they're investigating there. I mean, that's commitment. I guess.
I don't even know. I don't even I don't know how you get
around to doing it. You know, usually when you're talking about human sacrifice
stuff, you know, most people tend, most people tended historically to want
to be on the you know, the the guy wielding the knife side of
it. Right, How do you think you got that gig either, Like
when you talk about like these Mayan crop things right back in the day and
they're like, well, I guess we got to kill one hundred thousand drugged
up kids or the corn won't grow. You think, like there's a Mayan
high school guidance counselor, like, you know, I think you'd be a
good heart ripper outer right advising them. I mean, how does how does
one get that gig back in the day because you never see them you know,
ripping their own hearts out. You didn't go to the Temple of Doom
and the guys sending his own chest. He's like the client the climate people
now right where they're like, oh, well, we need to end this
and that, but they never do it themselves. Oh the the one guy
did. Remember the AI talked that dude into it a couple of weeks ago,
and he could kill himself. It's probably a generational thing, like the
heath in the family. Our family has a higher connection to you know,
spiritual world, and only we can cut a What's sad is those jobs that
just disappeared. You probably thought you were in an industry that would never go
away, like you're always gonna need hearts for the crops. You're the buggy
whip guy, right, yeah, no, see that automobile You're like,
nah, my job's fine. So yeah, and then how do you make
that travel? What do you transition to when that industry is over here?
You are you've been a heart ripper outer all your life and father before you
was heart ripper outer. It's father before him. Yeah, well then that's
a little bit of nepotism because now you don't got to worry about your kids
having their own hearts ripped out because they're the ones ripping the hearts. So
don't know, man, don't know. Eight forty five case O Day Radio
program, Race Stage joining us. Everything's crazy. Um, we have a
story here too. A thirteen year old boy crawled in I was able to
crawl into a claw machine and got trapped in there because he was trying to
steal stuff. You got to leave the kid in there, and then I
think you make the parents come down and if they want to get the kid
out, they have to get him to the slot. Yeah, and there
were days where that was an option. And I think there's many times my
mom and dad. My mother what she may have left me there? He
said, good for you. Yeah, maybe you're not gonna crawl in there,
dummy. No, maybe you won't do that again. You know.
Usually it's like a four year old, right, They don't know anybody.
They just see a bunch of toys. The kid's thirteen. Man. Yeah,
and I still don't see how. I mean that's a small opening.
Well it's a pretty big one. It's at Caro Wins, which is amusement
park from Charlotte, So it is it's Oh, it has big prizes,
so it's got a big slot, right right right, yeah, but still
now I think you gotta get he's got a your parents with the cloth,
and I can want him out. That's how it's got to have you sit
these stories quarters. These stories tend to be younger kids, right like four
five, But now he's thirteen. Now you're gonna learn to listen, right,
Yeah, you're the kid in the bubble. Didn't tell your parents can
get more quarters? I guess, so I don't know absolutely all right,
Well, maybe amusement amusement park ye be a good choice this week? Actually,
yeah, the next few days. Yeah, one of the better runs
we've had so far this year. I've probably said that before. This one's
better than the last one. How about that. A warmer temperature is on
the way. The change will come over the weekend. Um, a little
cooler. We should still be in the low seventies this time of year for
highs today, low to mid seventies, lots of sunshine, a little breeze,
beautiful day, dry though low relative humidity today, clear up a few
upper forties to low fifties, and then tomorrow will be in the low eighties.
Thursday and Friday will be in the the maybe the upper eighties for the
Triangle as some warmer air katis to come in on a south breeze under high
pressure. That we'll get a front to come in over the weekend. Could
be some shower Saturday. Right now, it does not look like a washout.
We're still near eighty. I feel there's gonna be more hours of dry
than wet, especially during the day Saturday and then Sunday a little cool.
We're behind the front, but drying sunny back into the upper sixties, maybe
seventy for some. So one out of the next I think seven days have
rain featured in them. The rest of them sunshines cheap bunch of it over
the next few days. By the way, do you know Ross is drinking
strawberry water this morning? Oh? I thought you're going to stay strawberry milk,
hero strawberry. But the smart water man and the tiny letters that you
can't see, the pink letters, it says strawberry BlackBerry. It's a cheat
and ass smart water that's gros bambooze just threw up in my mouth. No.
Yeah, Meanwhile, water has a deer on it doesn't taste like a
deer at all, So good decision. Now catch a boarder, they'd be
different. Oh don't even be great? Right, And on that note,
we get a rolls. Yeah, thank you sir. Tomorrow if yep,
Jeff Belinger joins us. Next Hang on your day Smarter and celebrating ten years
of keeping you better informed one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk nine
four five WPTI more with Casey Starts now three Bloomberg up date now, Jeff
Belinger, what's happening? Blug morning. Casey stocks had modest gain yesterday,
and the futures are pointing a little higher this morning. The now futures are
up nineteen points. The government just reported the number of groundbreakings for new houses
and apartments fell last month, but not by as much as expected. Housing
starts were down eight tenths percent in March. The reunion episode of the popular
Netflix reality show Love Is Blind is finally streaming. Technical problems scuttled the company's
plan to stream the program live on Sunday night. Elon Musk's next venture may
involve artificial intelligence. Microsoft and Google are currently competing for AI dominance, and
Musk told Tucker Carlson in an interview, he's planning to create a third option,
and Casey, there's more pressure and contract talks between the Hollywood studios and
their screenwriters. Film and TV production could be at risk because members of the
Writers Guild of America West authorize their union leaders to call a strike when the
current contract expires on May first. Casey, Jeff, do you drink flavored
water at all? I don't, just prefer still bottled. Way, that's
the right call. Okay, all right, thank you sir, appreciate it.
Okay, have a good day, eight fifty five. All right.
So it is very tiny writing, so I will give Ross thet a fit
of the doubt there, although well, I mean it's tiny writing. Plus
it's the little store at like three thirty in the morning when the lakes,
So it's like, yeah, I'm just easy. If I'm gonna have flavored
water, I don't. I'm used to like Egyptian cucumber. I'm not used
to this whatever. This is gross, Yeah, just common stuff. You
know what I mean? Is that from the Black Egyptians? The right?
Yeah, dude, yes, the Wesley Snipes ones, yes, yeah.
The amount of insanity, I don't know if you guys saw this Cleopatra crap
on Twitter this week, basically Cleopatra, by the way, who is Greek
or was Greek? I might add, no, it prompted I saw this
tweet yesterday of somebody who is now claiming that the Vikings not the professional football
team, but rather, you know, the Vikings of Lore. A bunch
of a lot of them were black. And I was not a air of
this, And I just I fail to understand the retro all of this retroactive
stuff where we have to like reassign race to different groups. It's like the
Dunkirk thing, right. There's lots of history. There's lots of positive and
negative history that involve people of all colors and heritage and background and all the
rest. But I I've just I was not aware that a bunch of the
you know, the Ragnarok Vikings were, in fact we're black. And then
the person is like, and if you didn't know this, you should read
a book, and I'm just like, you know what, I'm out.
I I just can't with this crap. Yeah, let's see well and then
um let's see here. Uh, Dieto Bell was a black aristocat. Historical
evidence shows black people were part of Viking culture and many and there were many
black composers. Want to know why you don't know that history has been whitewashed
in order to uphold beliefs of white supremacy. Read an effing book. Ah,
I you know, I've read a ross. You ever read a book?
I read a book, read a few. Yeah, I've never come
across this information. So, um, there you go. So that's now
what European Royalty, Uh, the Jews or the Hebrews, because that one
group who was um who just had a conference actually in uh in Raleigh.
Um. And now the Vikings sean king apparently as black I was told,
uh, and that's um Talcolm X on the show. And so sure,
just add that to the the insanity that is the Cleopatra argument from this week.
So all right, we got a we got a bunch of stuff we
didn't get to, but hey, we got a bunch of stories. So
hopefully the chief, the rally chief will come on. We'll put a request
in for that and hopefully they have that conversation for the week is out.
Lieutenant Governor will be joining us tomorrow. He's got a big announcement this weekend
and Ace Speedway of all places, so we'll try to get him to break
it early on the show. We'll do it tomorrow
