Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. That'll get
you on the Old Show. As we bang through today's stack of stories,
what do we got isis terrorists hitting the hot recurrence Ross gets that reference.
We'll do a little of that. We'll try to figure out why grown men
are lusting over some dude's pants. It's creepy. And I in no way,
shape or form encourage the defacing of paintings or any of that, because
it's such scumbags out there doing it, you know. The Uh I'm a
glue myself to something. I'm gonna make it so you can't go to work
today in a timely manner, you know those those a holes, right,
So I'm not happy about it. I'm just mostly confused as to what happened
with the latest painting vandalism thing yesterday. I don't get it, And maybe
it's because I don't really I don't even like, I know what a wallace
in grama grammt is, but I don't know why I know it, and
I don't know anything about it. Was that like a kid's cartoon in the
morning? Was I am? I realized I have no depth of knowledge on
this. I don't know what a wallace in grammat is other than some sort
of animated thing with a British twist? Am I wrong? Right? That's
what it is. Okay, So you guys remember the new King Charles portrait,
that red monstrosity. Although I did see some people liked it, which
is fine. Whatever. You can like what you like, as long as
we can agree that the worst leader portrait ever devised in modern history will always
be the Barack Obama floating in the hedge thing or whatever that was. You
guys, remember do you remember that picture? It's your official presidential photo,
and it's like him on a chair like superimposed into like a like some ivy
or hedge. I don't have it in front of me. I'm just remembering.
I'll never forget it. It's burned into my brain. I just can't
remember what the foliage is. I think they were trying to hint that it
was like the Homer Simpson meme where like he goes into the bushes but then
he comes back as Biden. I that's nice, dude, it's nice.
That's nice. You agree though, that thing is is abysmal? Right,
You remember looking at that going what the hell is that? Yeah? That's
the I remember being offended on behalf of my president is weird, you know,
as much beef as I could have with, you know, decisions that
Barack Obama made. I'm like, oh, why'd you do him like that?
And then he's got to stand there and be like dah, this is
great. So then the King Charles thing came out and it's just like the
perma red wedding or whatever the theme is there. That's a Game of Thrones
reference ross You give, I get back, so whatever. So the thing
is on display at the Philip Mould Mold Gallery whatever it's called. I don't
know. And of course here come the moonbats. Now these are the animal
moon bats and not the climate moon bats, but I suspect there's some crossover.
And uh so, rather than throwing soup on it, they posted they
like plastered, oh over a picture of Wallace over the face of King Charles
from Wallace and Grommet, which again I don't know anything about, like he
is Wallace? Is there is there a feature of Wallace's personality that that's trying
to send a message I don't know. But then it also had like a
thought bubble and it's not even clever, be clever, the bubble red quote,
no cheese, grommet. Look at all this cruelty on RSPCA farms.
What so I can't have cheese now because you're miffed about chicken distance or what.
I don't even know what your beef is. Yeah, I used beef
there. I don't how much you guys love that. Let's see they thank
you, reporter. It appears the activist group blah blah blah blah blah.
I'm not gonna read their name who sought to draw tension was seeking to draw
tension to animal cruelty on RSPCA affiliated farms, which I guess is the King's
land right, this is this is the property we're back in the day if
your family was starving and you shot a deer to the gallows. There's so
many elements of the system that, like, you know, it's so funny
when when you see some of these lists that college students will put out,
you know, some of the activist college groups, and they're like all of
these things are remnant of horribleness and God's to go. And then there's stuff
on there where you're like, wait, what's wrong with sweet tea? Sweet
Tea was on a list one time. I know, I know, good
luck. Yeah, sweet Tea goes back to slavery, does it though?
Yeah? Because they would be up there in their plantation they would drink the
sweet Tea while they watched the slaves. Is this from a movie you saw?
I'm just channeling my inner moon bat? Oh okay, all right,
well no, no, no, no, because it literally is from Django
Unchained, And I know you haven't seen that. I have, Yeah,
yeah, yeah, okay. But the point is, like it's just so
dumb. The thing that annoys me now is like it seems like everything is
it's genocide. Now if you're like, if you're a college protester, literally
everything is genocide, right right. But with the British Empire it kind of
was you know what I mean, Like the monarchy was genocide? Am I
wrong? Here? It was until seventeen seventy six. Well they got reverser
who knowed? Yeah they did, and by the way, nobody even knew
what the game was at that point. They were so confused. I think
Ben Franklin invented who know? Did he? Oh that's probably true. Yeah,
you know what, I think Ross is absolutely one percent spot on there.
So uh, you know, I don't don't check us on that on
that so but it like literally was and and and but here's the thing,
I'm not saying you necessarily have to like just purge everything. You know how
I feel history's got its ups, its downs. It's fascinations. I wholly
enjoyed visiting the United Kingdom, visiting Ireland, Scotland, Wales. Uh.
Yes, I understand that UK does not include the but I'm talking northern Ireland.
Uh. And then of course Ireland itself, the actual republic of and
and because there's so there's so much history and really cool stuff. Plus I
have family history to this day. Over there, we have a buzz old
castle thing, a dicer disert od it's a thing. And I have a
you know, branch off family members that you know, we're like, nah,
we're fine with no potatoes. We'll stay here and and like that's cool.
And then you could go see these churches and these castles which are part
of amazing stories and historical things, and and it's it's awesome, but also
it's not all awesome. And and to your point, when literally everything's genocide,
how is that? How are there so many moonbats over in the UK,
but they don't tend to operate the same way that with this hatred of
history, of the totality of history that we have here in the US.
Do you know what I'm saying, Like in the US they want the founding
fathers gone out of here but bye. And yet there is a much longer
history of conquest and bloodshed and subjugation that you could even with minimal basic knowledge
of the uh, you know, the monarchy in the UK just going just
going back to you know, the the iteration of the modern day monarchy when
they got the last few pesty vikings out there and decided to go ahead and
do their thing, and and and event and and and and if you want
to get conspiratorial, how strange it is that they the five big monarchies of
Europe were all related. I mean it's strange in the sense that it's not
strange in the sense that, you know, you would have the marrying of
people, but like you have spurs where multiple suns turned out to be the
multiple kings of different places. And it's crazy, man, and and I
don't see them run around wanting to purge that just put stupid Wallace and Gramet
stickers on something and whine about chicken distance, which is their beef. I
looked it up or one of they have so many, So yeah, that
was the thing yesterday confused me just a little bit. But you know this
is how we learn, all right. Coming up on the show, we'll
go we got to talk fitness for some reason. Isis like I mentioned and
somebody another road sign thing where somebody's got to apologize for doing nothing because nobody
is. Somebody's always got to be there for the executioner, and it's just
it's sometimes it's just dumb. So we'll explain all that coming up here on
the CaCO Day Radio program six three Here on the CaCO Day Radio program.
I almost feel bad, must feel bad because and you did. Russ had
to dip back on it. I feel like we could only dub Joe Biden
making that stupid cannon point once forever and then just recycle it over and over
because every time he gives a gun speech, he makes the same stupid point.
And I know that we've played the audio of him saying that every six
months for his entire presidency. So we'll get to that here in just a
moment, But I saw something so incredibly stupid this morning. I feel like
I feel like we kind of have to hit that real quick and then we'll
do the isis stuff too, because I need to package deal that at the
bottom of the hour. Also, we got to give away coming up.
I'll tell you about what that is. That'll be tomorrow. And we do
have a guest today because we had to switch some stuff. But that in
just a moment. Do you guys know who Joey Chestnut is. It's a
pretty pretty unique name. He probably heard it, even if you don't.
No, that's the dude who can sit there and wolf down eighty hot dogs
every Fourth of July or however many he needs to. I don't know if
he did eighty what he did sixty two last year, but that's enough to
win. The whole technique on that too, is incredibly troubling. Have you
ever tried it? How many of you have watched the professional hot dog eaters?
Because what they do is they have that cup of water and then they
dip and I understand why they do. They dip the bun and dog into
the water and then eat it soaking, soppy, nasty wet from a like,
I don't know how that's palatable, and I understand why you'd have to
eat at that speed, but that's neither here nor there. This guy wins
every year for like sixteen in a row, or no, he's won at
sixteen. He's won everyone since twenty sixteen, so eight in a row,
sixteen total. Who was the didn't you have like some Japanese dude who was
kind of his nemesis for a while. But every year Fourth of July Nathan's
hot dog eating competition And then you got to hear how somebody eight seventy six
hot dogs, which is what he won with in twenty one and or twenty
twenty one, and is the record, by the way, or maybe even
you watch the thing and it of course dominates the news, and it's just
a fun part of Fourth of July. It is an homage to the excess
that is being an American at times, and I am unapologetic over it.
I think it's great. Also, the was it South Park who did the
thing? Where they were they had like they had gotten like a TV over
in Ethiopia and it just happened to be that day. The guys was so
mean. Yeah, I can't care his family guy or them, but whatever
whatever, like they just ate all. The village got a TV meanwhile in
America, Yeah, they flip it on and it's that, it's a few
other things and it's just it's the No, it have to be south Park
because it's the Starvin Marvin, right, Yeah, it was Starvin Marvin with
the with his tribe that went to Space. That's a great episode too,
by the way. Oh man, and they're like, oh, the village
finally has a little bit of a run of water and somebody, look at
this old TV that's Sally Struthers broad Let's turn it on. See what's going
on. It's just Joey Chestnut shoving all the hot dogs in his face.
What it's so, it's it's it's part of the lexicon, is part of
the it's an iconic thing. But it's not vegan dogs, okay, And
something happened. So Joey Chestnut, who's the man, apparently has signed a
sponsorship agreement with Impossible Foods, makers of the Impossible Whopper, Ross's favorite whopper,
because he lived with it for five days after he ate it, his
stomach was like, what is this thing in your stomach. Yeah. So
here's the thing. He's the man at the night Nathan's Hot Dog Eating Contest,
And that should be really important to understand the name of the event.
Because as much as you may like some red hots or something here, you
know, in the Carolina tradition, or maybe you really like the dogs that
use over at Snoopies or whatever it is, that's fine. The fact is
the hot dog eating contest that takes place on fourth of July every year and
has taken place since nineteen sixteen is the Nathan's Hot Dogs. It's in the
name. So the best in the biz, Joey Chestnutt signed himself, excuse
me, signing himself a deal with Impossible Foods, which makes vegan dogs.
And that's fine. He's not. He's not. He doesn't work for Nathan's
per se, although he kind of does. And I'll explain what I mean,
because I do pay him a fee to participate in the event, so
he is, in a way, he is getting paid by Nathan although he
doesn't work there. It's a you know, paining an athlete to participate is
not the same as paying the athlete. As weird as that sounds, some
of the big golf tournaments that are not tour events that take place during that
little window of an off season, especially over in the Middle East. They
pay appearance fees to get the big name golfers over there and your favorite athletes
during the off season. Some of them will do stuff within the bounds of
what they're able to do. But Chessnut wanted to flex. So at first
he said he wanted to eat the vegan dogs, and Nathan's is like,
no, no, that's not what we do here. That's look at it.
Look at the look at the name on the shingle there right, look
at what the name of the event is. And then he simply wanted to
be able to part promote the vegan dogs during the event, So he would
eat the regular Nathan dogs that he always has, but he would also be
able to promote the competitor of the namesake of the event. And I don't
care who you are. I've never seen that and I don't know that anyone
would ever agree to it. It's just weird. Plus, yes, I
mentioned that while that he doesn't work for Nathan's itself, he does take endorsement
fees and appearance fees from him, and that's the thing. Look, that's
the thing we run into here on radio. Yeah, it's just so that's
what is so extra baffling for me. That can you imagine Jordan Prime Jordan
coming out and being like, yeah, I'm the face of Nike, but
I'm a play in these New Balances. What do you want? Because he
just got a big old fat check from New Balance. That would he's Jordan
and that wouldn't work. Tiger Woods got into this with his Nike club stuff
because he wanted to use a different club and I think initially they didn't let
him. And then Nike stop producing irons. I don't know Nike used to
produce irons. I guess if you're young, maybe don't know that I used
to have. I still have a pair actually by backup clubs or just you
know, kind of junk clubs. There the Sasquatch irons man and I got
one of the last sets that they ever had. But like, none of
this stuff flies. And if you if anything that creeps closer to the idea
that I could tune in to America's premiere competitive eating event and I gotta watch
people eat soy dogs. I'm out pack it in just just we're done.
That's in America. Good game, it's over. Try again next time.
Plus, I don't want more kids to eat these things. Bill, I
would feel bad because now you got a battle with the impossible thing sitting in
your stomach for five days or what was the math ross every hot dog you
eat is six months off your life or whatever. That BS study was like
a story we did a few years back. Yet, yeah, I wonder
if he is trying to get like healthier, you know what I mean,
because he realizes, Hey, I eat like a zillion hot dogs a year
and it's probably not good for me. But listen, I love hot dogs.
I love but yeah, exactly, it's your job. Well you're the
hot dog dude. Dude, I mean, is getting paid, by the
way, what did he what does he make? They pay him like a
quarter million dollars to show up and eat hot dogs for two hours? Right,
And you can't suddenly be like, oh, I'm trying to be healthier,
so I'm just gonna eat the vegan dogs during the contest and be like,
no, you're eating our hot dogs. It's our hot dog contest.
And also, if you do the math, if if that math was true,
I would be negative three. No, I'd be like three hundred years
old. Oh yeah, dude, he would have turned into mist on the
stage, just implode. I'd hid on hot dogs for lunch yesterday, sitting
here at the sitting here at this I'm at the Greensboro Studio or that in
high Point. We're in downtown high Point and they have a hot dog place
called the Doghouse. I don't know if you guys are ever eating there.
If you haven't, you should. They don't pay me anything, and I
paid full price for my hot dogs yesterday, but I went into beef loaded
all the way, chili slaw, mustard onion, the proper way to eat
a hot dog. Don't argue with me, and I didn't feel that I
was making a good health decision. I thought I wasn't making an amazing lunch
decision. And at no point in my life, I don't even think they
do they sell those over there. I love the old dude, the old
school hot dog joints that we have around North Carolina, whether it's the Doghouse
there at high Point, whether it is the of course everybody's favorite hot Wieners
sign there downtown Rawleigh. Don't you dare bring ketchup, right, I love
that. That's that nostalgic stuff. Even going to snoopies. Man, I
know it's not exactly the same, but don't forget Downtown Wig fourst wee shorties
shorties. Yet I was trying to think of some and I know I'm just
gonna get in trouble. Somebody's gonna be mad at me. But trust me
when I tell you, if you're one of the old school dog places,
you've been around for for a long time, and I see you and it's
lunch, we're doing business, probably look at that. I'm choking up just
thinking about it. But no, I will not have America's premiere competitive eating
event bastardized with fake meat. If you like fake meat, that's for you.
Enjoy yourself, Okay, but no, this is not happening, all
right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four And good on Nathan's
because now it appears they just said, all right, well, you're not
in it this year. You do won't play by the rules. You're not
in it. You out take your impossible foods money. Oh they even actually,
by the way, Nathan's even offered to create a Labor Day hot dog
eating competition in partnership with Are you ready for this? The mL E the
new sanctioning body of Major League eating. I wonder how quickly that'll corrupt is
a parent organization? Dude, we got slap you know you got the slap
League, You've got Major League eating cornhole? Do you know you can bet
on cornhole in North Carolina? Now I'm serious, I'm serious. So you
know obviously we got the sports betting in North Carolina. And just full disclosure,
I do I work with DraftKings, right, but I love that.
I like their interface, and i've I've used them for other stuff for a
while, and you use who you want. I think it's great. But
also what I think is really great is if you dig through, if you
go to like DraftKings or something, if you dig through, you can literally
bet on like professional corn hole. Like we have everything, man, So
when you have everything, don't come in here and try to crap all over
the thing that we like. I don't care if you're the you're the league
leader, mister mister chestnut. No no, no, no, no,
all right, six forty four CaCO Day Radio program. Let's get into this.
Oh, just real quickly. To go back to Ross's point on the
health thing, because I could see that camel, you know, Cammel Campbell's
nose under the tent. There. Being a professional athlete comes with inherent physical
things that are your where going to live with right you look at all,
And it doesn't just have to be like the CTE stuff in NFL. Former
professional athlete, former professional golfers. Man, they got eights everywhere. Even
if you don't think that's a sport, they live with that. That's part
of the tradeoff being an NFL player. It's part there's a reason that the
average age of running action is so low because all they do is just get
beat up. Well that's when you know that you would have the single back
and you could play fantasy and it mattered. And get me started on that.
The Rock posted a video yesterday. Man, he banged his arm up.
You should see his elbow. It's just completely it looks like it's the
giant. But it's fake. Ross, Ross, that's fake. It's all
fake. Remember he can't he's not injured. That's obviously it's obviously a work
right, No, it's not. These guys, their bodies are destroyed.
Professional wrestlers bodies are destroyed. Am I wrong here? I'm not wrong.
He was talking about his previous injuries, and he's like he was running down
the list of all the surgeries he's had and the things he's broken. Is
ridiculous. Yes, with hip and his shoulder and his back and like every
part of him. But if you ask him if he do it again,
I feel like he would because you know, it kind of led to some
stuff. It's a pretty good, pretty good decision. And if you're gonna
suffer, you know, long term back pain, would you rather do it?
Uh? You know, Uh, you're doing directional boring, right,
doing piping under roads or living in all of your mansions. So people make
these decisions because they're adults and they can go ahead and do that. All
right, Everybody, when we come back, I want you to know how
many pieces of flair you have. It's really important. I'll explain next hang
on. Coming up on the show at eight oh five, we're gonna chat
with Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who is the object of ire among national news
outlets and publications for some reason. Well, I mean we know the reason,
but you know the reason. You know why they don't like this guy,
and uh, they just like we have the New York Magazine article,
yes, say, which I'll talk to him about today. That's why I
rolled it over. But he's just an upholsterer. He's an idiot. Why
would you trust him. He's a gun you know, he likes guns.
He thinks that. He thinks people in the government around Pearl Harbor may have
been complicit in allowing the attack to happen because it furthered their ability to continue
the military industrial complex and whatever. A lot of people, by the way,
a lot of people believe that, And you got to understand the mood
of America at that time. Whether it's true or not, I don't know.
I'd like to think it's not, but I've you know, I've been
doing this too long. The things that people are willing to do for political
furtherance, regardless of the impact that it has. You watched it on display
with the Russia stuff. They were willing to destroy the country over that fifty
Some individuals were willing to lie to you. The leadership of our intelligence apparatus
for the last two decades were willing to ban together, put their name on
the line, to lie to you. Why wouldn't you think any of this
stuff's possible at a time, as I mentioned, yeah, yesterday, at
a time just ten years removed from when the federal government was poisoning alcohol to
teach people who were violating prohibition, they were poisoning their own citizens. But
let's write a big old hit piece and talk about how if you apolster furniture,
you're unqualified to also be apparently in charge of anything. This scum of
the earth man all day, every day surrounded by it. So yeah,
I understand why people believe all sorts of stuff. Uh oh, let's get
a call here on the hot dog front. Yes, Brian, what's up?
Ay KC. You know, I was just I've always wondered that after
these events that you must have to call in like professional maid services and plumbers
after the at the hotels. Oh my gosh, I mean, can you
imagine, sir, No, no, no, no no. I'm glad
you brought this up, because I thought people knew this. I don't know
if they still have it, but I laughed out loud one year when I
realized that one of the sponsors of the event is a porta potty company in
the long Island. Yeah, that's Canine. Great sponsor. You may just
walking like, oh my god, oh they're here. I'm sick today.
Sorry, I'm not going in. No, they have like a they have
a porta potty sponsor. I can't, by the way, I would.
It would suck to work for that company to your point, But yeah,
I thought that was funny as heck when I learned that. So yeah,
all right, all right, look, heah, I here's what I know.
It couldn't look any worse than the porta potties over at the Wolfpack tailgate,
especially the ones right there between the PNC and the I don't know who
you are, how you how early you get there, and how you do
that to it every damn home game. It's impressive, really, more than
anything kc O Day radio program, I think. And uh yeah, we're
we're just banging through the news, oh the day, And uh, I
was just kind of setting up this, this this story was something I thought
we could all relate to, even if we've how many of you have worked
in some sort of minimum wage environment whatever, it's not the job you want,
doesn't mean you come in and do a bad job, right, You're
developing work ethic. But it's hard sometimes, especially if you have management that
just insults your intelligence. You know, does things like we need to have
a meeting because it's the you know, it's it's the holiday season. This
is in a retail environment. The holiday season's coming up. But I don't
know why all of you don't want to come in fifteen minutes early for no
reasons, day as late as possible, and you know, working on an
on call environment. That's one of the most insulting things I did. Is
part of modern day corporate culture. You're not on call where you're being paid
for it, like you'll they'll be like, you need to be available during
this calendar period, and then the night before we'll call you and let you
know if you have to work the next day. Well what if I don't
have to work? Do I get paid for making myself available? No?
No, this is part of your commitment. All those scumbags just right in
the wood chipper right, whoever thinks this stuff up, I get it,
and it was It was hilariously exemplified in the movie office Space with the with
the flare you know, the blinky buttons and the wacky stuff. When you
go to you know you go to restaurants that are the you know they have
a thousand things on the wall and little cute see things and that was portrayed
in the movie Office Space And let me in fact, let me play the
audio, cause it's gonna parlay into this actual news story. You ready,
we need to talk about your flare. Really, I have fifteen pieces on
well, okay, fifteen is the minimum? Okay, Okay. Now you
know it's up to you whether or not you want to just do the bare
minimum or well like Brian, for example, has thirty seven pieces of flair
on today. Okay. It's a terrific smile. Okay, So you want
me to wear more? Look, Joanna, Yeah, people can get a
cheeseburger anywhere, Okay. They come to Chachikey's for the atmosphere and the attitude.
Okay, that's what the flair is about. It's about fun, Okay,
so more than yeah, Look, we want you to express yourself.
Okay. Now, if you feel that the bare minimum is enough, then
okay, but some people choose to wear more and we encourage that. Okay,
you do want to express yourself, don't you. Yeah? Great,
great, that's all I ad, Right, Okay, so what a great
movie. Overall, it's not the best restaurant related movie, even though there's
some really good scenes in the restaurant, because it's kind of about the other
thing. I think that would be the movie Waiting. If you've never seen
Waiting, that's hilarious. That being said, it's about expressing yourself. A
new memo that has been sent out to employees of twenty four Hour Fitness has
established new guidelines for flair. That's right, the freedom. It's literally entitled
freedom of expression. So okay, all right, you're trying to what T
shirts? Can you wear? Buttons, pins, all of those things,
and just in time for the LGBT month or LGBTQ month, right, and
it outlines all of the things that you can use to express yourself. I
know, good stuff. Right. So if you go through the memo,
they list what are considered always approved forms of freedom of expression as well as
those who are are those that are only allowed in very specific instances. Among
the items that are always approved include BLM's BLM stuff, so you pin or
a hat or a T shirt, excuse me, pride or Pride rainbow logos
June teenth symbolism so what's not always approved. Do you even want to venture
a guest or do you know exactly where I'm going here? Well, those
are going to be items that are are, should be, will be,
and should be reserved to coincide with their calendar locations. Which is weird because
if it's Pride month, the other eleven months are not Pride month. So
you see how you start digging yourself in. If you want to just say,
hey, be who you are and freedom of expression and then go ahead
and do it, admittedly, you're going to have to have some guidelines as
soon as some guy comes rocking through and his you know, is Hitler uniform
or whatever. I guess I'm taking it to the extreme here, but just
understand what's going on here. But also if you're going to make these judgment
calls and label the United States flag or any logo depicting the United States,
so I guess that could be like the presidential seal. Maybe I don't know.
Those are only allowed according to the twenty four hour fitness thing on on
holidays and specific holidays Memorial Day, Flag Day, July fourth, Veterans Day,
Patriots Day, otherwise, any sort of freedom of expression that would include
the American flag or any other patriotic logoing is only can only be approved by
your GM and or manager, and if not approved and not one of the
calendar dates, it is a violation of their freedom of expression policy, which
falls under their news section equality support. So at least they left with equality,
or they went with equality and not equity, So I kind of like
that, but ironically equity wouldn't work here, nor would equality for that matter.
Let's see, well I got a whole list here, but I mean,
that's the meaty stuff, that's the beef stuff. And as you go,
as you go through, it also talks about area in which you can
express, so it doesn't have to necessarily just be on your body. I
guess if you want to hang a poster or you know, some sort of
logoing or whatever it may be that has you know, the rainbow or BLM
language or whatever it is, it is not allowed. And then they go
through examples. They go through examples of things that might run a foul,
including are you ready for this US Olympics or Paralympics logoing? That's right,
you can't root on our Paralympians without expressed approval from your manager or from your
GM or shift manager, and they have a hot line where you can call
to determine if your flar's okay. I just don't understand why companies put this
stuff in writing and put it out there, Like, what do you have
to gain from this except irritating the crap out of most of my audience,
me and other reasonable people going all right? If you know, if Debbie
wants to wear a BLM pin and Zach wants to have his, uh you
know, the Rainbow Pride hat and John wants to have the US Olympic logo,
who cares? And ironically, you're in a fitness facility. Wouldn't US
Olympics and Paralympic wouldn't that be appropriate? I hear at these gyms occasionally in
between doing weird like locker room uh you know, bat back and forth with
people posting stuff to get other people's goat, and then others upset about shower
situation, like all of that, all of that going on behind you.
Occasionally, people at these these facilities they try to improve their physical state.
I heard I don't Maybe I'm wrong. I have ross. You go to
the gym, are people working out occasionally? Is that happen sometimes where people
try to get healthy, it does happen. Yes, I can confirm,
all right, Ross can confirm. So sometimes there are these annoying people that
just stay on the machines and scare their phone, and apparently they go to
the gym to just go on their phone. But yes, there are people
that go to the gym to actually work out. Okay, do you care
what kind of hat the person on the treadmill who's not obviously working out,
Just do you care what hat they're wearing. When I'm at the gym,
I don't care about anybody else but myself. I'm not focused on anybody else.
I or you don't. You don't want to be, because if you
do focus on anybody else, you're probably gonna end up on social media and
they're gonna be calling you a perv or whatever. Yeah, creeper. But
when it comes to the people working at the gym, I don't. The
only thing that really sort of bothers me is when there's somebody working at the
gym that that doesn't look like they've ever used the gym. That does that
does annoy me. Like if I walk in, it's just like, yeah,
I'm taking a break from my ice cream truck to work behind the counter
at the gym because I have questions about the machines or you know, nutrition,
and if you can't, it doesn't look like you care. It's that's
weird to me. That is weird. Well, but I mean when it
comes to your flair, I don't care what you're wearing. I don't care
what pain you have on. Does it bother me? I'm not focused on
that. By your logic, though, only five hundred pound people should be
able to work at McDonald's. Yes, can you imagine watching behind the counter?
Yeah? No, yeah. Also, I want the person that cuts
my hair to have hair. What's that? I want the person that cuts
my hair to have hair? Look at you? Wow? What yeh?
Mister picky over here? Do you don't even have hair? It really doesn't
bug me by the gym, it does. I know, I get it.
I get it. The McDonald's think is probably not fair. But there's
some machines where I'm like, you know, I'm like, I don't know
how this machine works, and I have a question about it, and I
you know, am I doing it right? And I'm not sure? So
I'm going to ask whoever's working here. You look over and you're like,
that person would have no idea. I went to biscuit I went to Biscuitville
this morning because that's what you do sometimes. And and now I'm just imagining
because they had like four or five people that were run around doing stuff for
get you know, like cause they get busy right off the bat. And
now I'm just thinking, what if the everyone behind the counter was like the
season thirteen people from My five hundred Pound Life, and then they're all just
trying to move around there and get me my meat loaf, biscuit or whatever
that's dinner in a show right there. You walk in there and you're like,
these people know to cook. Yes, food here it's look is it
called EDGs or is it called big EDGs? Yeah? No. If I
go into walk house or whatever, right or biscuit or whatever, and it's
like, you know Christian Bale from The Machinist, like, well he might
have a health issue, but probably shouldn't judge. But yeah, no,
I get what you're saying. Yeah no, I want to go in there.
I want to know that that person. You know the other reason why
I don't want anyone judging my bad health decisions. Right, I don't need
a meatloaf biscuit or a double sausage bisks. I don't need that. I
really don't need that. I've been doing really good. Actually I don't need
that, but I want that, and I don't want Jerry behind the counter
giving me judgment high all right. Just I want him to go, oh,
that thing, that thing's awesome. I want to I want lie to
me. Jerry, just tell me I made a good decision. So no,
I I get what you're putting down there, all right, So,
speaking of bad decisions, the Prime Minister of England feasibly you've done interviews before,
and yet the way that Richie Sunak continues to screw the pooch on this
and show up to do the interviews that he did around the D Day stuff
again, how just like I asked, why does the company put stuff like
this out? Why would this guy say something like that? And of course
you know they're going to torch him because he's not among the favorite of the
political folks as far as British media goes. And they did. And you
know why, It's because he's dumb. And I'll explain and we'll play the
audio next here on the CaCO Day radio program. I feel like we have
to mention that because we're just everything. We're just talking about how you show
up somewhere and you're like, I don't know that that person knows more than
me, and I'm here for advice. I did. There was a video
what was that like two weeks ago? A week ago? I think it
was when I was sick, and it's this woman who's on she's on social
media and she's ranting about how she goes like Lows and Home Depot and she
wants she when she walks in there, goes to a section she wants to
talk to Jerry, the Vietnam War vet right do with the unironic mustache is
working there and not an eighteen year old because she has hexpre questions. She'd
be like an age minimum like Home Deep or Lows or like fifty. I
get that. I'm totally up used. Here's what you do though, any
Lows or Home Deep. I found the one in Chatham County has a lot
of these folks too. You can go in there, don't look. If
they have people that work there the know stuff, great, But if it's
not working out on that front. Spin around in a circle slowly and within
fifty feet of you is Jerry. He doesn't work there, he just is.
He's retired now. He wants to get out of the house and he
would love nothing more than you to ask questions about flashing. I have done
that. Yes, I've done it. Yes, like the person could not
help me with my plumbing issue. But that dude's gonna know, Geared ye
and guess what he did, and he was excited to tell you. Political
advice for idiot politicians today's lesson. If you are the leader of one of
the Allied countries from World War Two, don't complain when you have to go
to the memorial once a year. Okay, that's part of the gig.
Look, if you're the you know, if you're the Sultan of BRUNEI fine,
I guess whatever. But if you're especially if you're one of the big
ones right us, the British, even the Russians, I guess for the
purpose of that, it's not gonna look good. And yet the Prime Minister
of the UK can't stop screwing himself on this thing, including a video of
him showing up to an interview so he's showing up to an interview. Obviously
they're going to talk about D Day at the interview, and he's well,
just listen to him explaining why he had to push back the arrival time a
little bit. I missed that. Good to see you, very nice to
see. Yeah, it will just ran incredible, but it just ran over.
I'm sure apologies for keeping you don't apologize for it. Quote running over.
You know what, I don't know if you know this the actual Normandy
invasion, it ran over a little bit. I mean, this guy is
just getting destroyed over there for leaving D Day to do a political interview like
that. Yes, I don't know if you've seen like the posters and the
billboards and the memes popping up over there. One of them is, oh
god, so bad man. One of them was just saying, it's a
it's a billboarder meme of like a white background, like a black you know,
silhouette a figure and it's him, and it just says he left them
on the beaches. I mean, I'm not laughing because it's because it's so
easy at that point to just decimate this dude, you know what I'm saying.
And then he shows up, and this is making it even worse because
in the audio, you know, the interview actually left D Day four.
He's like, ah, this is I got an interview. You gotta leave
the D day thing, gotta go do my political interview. Goes and does
it, and then this leaks and he's like, oh, I'm sorry,
I'm late, but the festivities there just ran over it. We went late.
H Yeah, they had this old guy. He was like a hundred.
He wouldn't shut up telling stories. Oh you know how they get I
mean, how do you now look this guy is he's on the downward spiral.
So this is just just adding to it. But that's not a good
look, man, That's not a good look, especially, and again I
say this especially if you happen to represent one of the political ideologies, parties,
or even a whiff of it that is diametrically opposed to the media right.
So it's like it's like, if you're GOP here in the United States,
you have to be, you're going to be You're going to be judged
under a much harsher lens. Does anyone think that that's not true? And
if you do, you're a liar? Okay, they're gonna be out to
get you. They're they're out there. They were out there the other day
whining about whining about rescuing hostages, because then it makes other hostage stuff harder,
and then they can't have the full cease fire. Say well, I
don't know, maybe they should not be killing our hostages or just raping them
all day every day. Did you see the interview with one of the guys
that they rescued. He the dude had clearly given up on life. I
don't say that in a flippant manner. It was so sad to listen every
day every day. Under understand, understand how we in our minds think about
how prisoners of war or hostages should be kept, and how we recoil with
that, you know, with the Rambo imagery, uh, the you know,
the the John McCain, the Hotel Hanoi, you know, all of
these things, and we and and that's just we. We don't do that.
And when and when something like that happens, or the the Abu Grab
photos come out, right, the world revolts. The hostages not weren't just
being kept by journalists over there in Gaza, but they were beating this dude
every single day, and they would do fake execution stuff, get your stuff,
We're gonna take you out. We're gonna kill you now, ha ha,
We're not. And then with the women it maybe some of the dudes,
I don't know, but it's just like, oh, you're up,
time for your raping. Now we're gonna beat you now, We're gonna now,
We're gonna make you wish death upon yourself every day, all day,
every day, And and they're out there going, well, you know this
may it makes hamas very upset when they don't have their toys. So you're
not gonna get a fair shake anyway from from people who work in the news,
the news industry. Did you see the woman on MSNBC when she heard
her own companies polling that said sixty two percent of Americans want mass deportations,
and she recoiled like, I can't believe I have to speak to idiots who
don't understand every day, like the body language and the way that she she
reacted to it was she was discussed, I can't believe these folks. Well,
I bet you work in a secure building. You probably have some a
driver each and every day. You don't do your own shopping. You don't
have to interact or you know, with any of this. The price of
things is minimally impacting you, so when you get you know, the other
thing yesterday was everyone's so stupid they don't know how great they have it and
how much better it's gotten. That was the narrative yesterday on multiple networks,
as though it all came from a central clearinghouse talking point place. So,
you know, dip it out on the d day stuff because it's running too
long. So you go do an interview to uh, you know, promote
your political jit. Dude, people are going to destroy you, and rightfully
so, like I don't even have to lean into the media being unfair.
They're gonna be that anyway here. They should just be that you're so bad
at your job. Man, you're Joey Chestnut with your with your fake hot
dogs. I can't even look at you. That's what he's doing. Speaking
of not being able to see somebody, let's say you go for ladies if
you're your man suggested you guys take a sweet walk on the beach. What's
the yes rate on that? Usually probably pretty high. I'm stereotyping, but
women like to go for walks on beaches. It's a thing a lot of
dudes do too. I don't mind. I don't mind taking stroll down the
beach. But you ask your lady. She wants to go for a nice
you know, especially if the weather's perfect, a little sunset or sunrise or
whatever. It is very romantic, but very calming, and yeah, it's
healthy. Do it, something a little healthy. So imagine you're doing that,
You're getting everything you want, and all of a sudden, as you're
walking down the beach, you look over. This is from the guy's perspective,
and all of a sudden, your wife, who looks to be about
a foot and a half shorter than her husband here, so that's going to
come into play, is just gone. One minute, you're holding her hand,
she's probably talking to you about those curtains again for the seventy fifth time,
and then all of a sudden, gone, Well that's what happened.
A woman was swallowed by quicksand while her and her husband were taking a stroll
along a beach. This is in Maine, outside of Portland, Maine.
Jamie Accord was walking along the water's edge at Popham Beach State Park when she
was suddenly quote sucked in and dropped like a rock, initially up to her
hips in just a split second, where she, according to witnesses, let
out a stunned scream because at the very same time high tides are rolling in
nightmare scenario. She starts yelling to her husband Patrick, I can't get out.
I can't get out. She's getting sucked in further and further into quicksand,
which, by the way, can I say this? Every guy has
a plan for quicksand? Am I wrong here? I'm not wrong. We
thought about it. There's no logical reason we thought about it. Most of
us are not encountering this on a daily basis. But every dude would like
to think that if presented with a quicksand scenario that he'd be able to snap
into action and solve the problem. That's why I walk around with snakes all
the time. Big snake. Yeah, the guy in the quick sandestized did
not coincide. We didn't get together on this giant snake. That's rule number
one. And to you Ross's point, and I don't know, there's big,
big old snakes in Portland, Maine. You're gonna have to bring your
own. Just to cat your emergency snake. Also, he he was able
to get her out of there. It was not easy, but thankfully and
and actually he said, right after he got her out of the hole,
the hole the tide rushed in filled back up, and then it all like
even where she had been pinned just dropped and disappeared and then filled in.
And it would have almost absolutely have sucked her down into that. But he
also didn't extract anything. And I feel like that's a missed opportunity. Look,
she's up to her chest in quicksand. This is when you're getting the
go ahead on the man cave? Am I wrong? Here? How bad
you want out of that hole? Can I convert the basement? Okay,
all right, here's the snake. Grab onto the snake. So again,
you'd like to think you'd know how you'd act, and you have best practices
with your emergency rescue snake. But also keep in mind, this is a
great way to win an argument. That's literally chapter five of Art of the
Deal. Yes, thank you. You remember when Trump used to throw the
people in on the Apprentice in Quicksand, which is a story I just made
up that CNN is probably gonna report now good stuff, mostly through women in
there. He's a monster, absolute monster. You know we're gonna make it
really juicy. Rasd Agic from the Weather Channel. If your sweet wife got
sucked into quicksand, would you know how to rescue her? Would not know
how to rescue her. But I already have the man caves, So I
guess. I guess she's out of luck. You want a new hell cat
or something? I mean something, right, what could I possibly think of?
Don't go there, I was gonna go there. Oh goodness, her
arms are pinned, she can't move. I know. No, we're not
good. It has to be one of the worst kind of feelings. Just
grab a snake man, yeah, snake, Yes, I do have the
emergency in case you go into quicksands. Snake, Okay, are good?
I thought you were a lunatic for a moment. No, no, so
certainly no, no, we're not certainly not anything close to being a lunatic.
But okay, good. Yeah that's so nuch. He's still coming.
So if you will be outdoors, maybe tournament, golf, golf tournament,
maybe a golf tournament, sunscreen, hydro eight, all those good things.
Load to mid nineties, the hottest day is going to be Friday, it
could be close to ninety five. Try it low nineties, so load of
mid nineties. Basically today probably the best day where we're in the upper eighties,
few clouds. Otherwise, lots of sunshine. Seeing a few clouds right
now near Sanford down your Faeyeteville or north of Fayetteville. It's this little patch
is coming through in some to the west too, So really just trying to
fill time, because that's about it. As we go through the weekend,
still near ninety degrees, may stay in the upper eighties to the west,
invest area right near Tampa Bay. Now the Hurricane Center has something to talk
about ninety l bringing a ton of rain to Florida that may get into the
western Atlantic, and it's got a small chance in seven days twenty percent of
become a depression or a tropical storm. Just in case you didn't know.
Not only are we forecast having above average and a well above average season the
Atlantic basin. The a storm is al Roberto, but small chances of that
happening. But if it does get stronger, it could have some impacts for
the coastal areas sometime week but right now it doesn't look like it's going to
get very strong. Okay, all right, appreciate it, Sarah. We'll
let you get back to it and see in an hour, okay, and
we will take a break. A reminder, coming up at eight oh five,
Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson will join us. We got lots to get into
with him. And speaking of the sixty two percent of Americans who want deportations
that was from the other day, I think that number might be higher today,
and I'll explain why next. Hang on, excuse me. The arrest
of eight individuals from Tajikistan, everybody's favorite vacation destination with potential ties to isis
arrested over the weekend in New York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles. Several of
the individuals found themselves are you ready for this? Making their way across the
southern border, including one of the arrested individuals who gain entry through the new
Biden mobile app. Want to go to kill Americans and Jews. There's an
app for that, and we just created it. Yeah, So they're here
to do all sorts of horribleness. They're clearly trackable to having crossed the border
in both well arguably in illegal manner. All around because they're lying and they're
not going through what is the still legal definition of how asylum works. But
and if you remember, they just had this random story yesterday, I don't
know, I can't remember if we got to it where they set out new
guidance saying, unless they're from like six countries, just let them in.
Yeah, adults, single adults, absolutely, unless they're from six countries.
And Tajikistan was one of them. I think Russia's on their Moldova. I
can't remember the others, but you get the gist of it. So then
they have that story just kind of pop up. That's weird, man,
that's weird. And you know what, then I saw they had Washington Post.
It is not the first time they've written about this, by the way,
but they have reiterated a point they've been making. What do you think
is perpetuating the Israeli Gaza conflict? What do you think is causing that to
keep trucking on that If we only did away with it, the whole thing
would end. What would your suggestion be, maybe indiscriminately wanting to wipe all
of Israel off the map, that'd be a good suggestion of something that if
it went away, probably would grind this to a halt. But you'd be
wrong. Corey to the Washington Post. The problem is the Iron Dome.
I'm going to repeat that. The problem is the Iron Dome defense system.
You're on our Wednesday now. You know, last week I had the plague
or whatever, so we didn't get a chance to check in with the Lieutenant
governor, but thankfully able to move some stuff around and Mark Robinson joining us
this morning. Mark, how you doing today, sir? I'm doing good.
I'm doing good. Kay to help you out, I'm good. But
also I don't have the national media turning their sights on me. So let's
let's go ahead and get into that. I'm actually I'm sitting in downtown High
Point right now. I'm at our new Triad facility. We are right next
to the ballpark here. They're really doing a lot of revitalization here. But
I'm just feet from where you used to work. And the New York Magazine,
Yeah, New York Magazine decided that for whatever reason, and I don't
know if you read the whole article, they wanted to come at you hard
man. And the crux of it is Mark's dumb and Mark used to re
upholster furniture and you can't trust to person like that. Sure, how insulting
is that on a scale of one to ten to all of the folks you
used to work with, and all of the folks who are literally going to
work right now within a half mile of where I'm sitting, who are going
to go and bust their butt just like they do each and every day.
What do you think of when you see that stuff? I love it when
these elites show their true colors. Do They always talk about diversity, equity,
and inclusion. They always talk about a fair level playing field. They
want anything but that because they think literally they are better than everyone. They
have told us for years that these seats like governor and senator and congressmen.
They've told us for years the presidency is reserved for a certain type of person.
Nowhere in our constitutions that say that there are many people from diverse backgrounds
of all stripes that are able to do these jobs. The problem is we
have these elites who have forced them out and told them they're not good enough.
I've been in this job now for three years. I've been a studying
politics down for the past twenty plus years, and the one thing I've come
to understand. Some of the greatest people who have ever set foot in the
White House, in the Senate seats, at the seats of Congress and governors
are people who have real world experience. That's what it takes to get it
done. These high pollutant e loots, elites who don't have a clue,
They couldn't get out of a wet paper bag that they had to without instructions.
And these are the folks that get us into these deep troubles that we
see, not just at the federal level, but at the state and local
level as well. It's fire for us to disregard these folks and start getting
people who have real world experience in the office to bring real, real,
real world solutions to the problems that we face. Well, I don't want
to throw them away yet, because I want to watch New York Magazine writers
it Maggie Kelsey. I want to watch her try to reupholster a chair.
That would amuse me, absolutely absolutely. It's that same sentiment of Michael Bloomberg
of anybody can be a farmer, Yeah, right, anybody can be a
farmer, right, yeah, absolutely, As somebody grew up in an agricultural
setting. I'm always amused trying to watch that happen. Actually it doesn't.
I mean, it speaks exactly who they are. And Uh, well,
I'm sorry, go ahead, go ahead, Mark, let you finish answer.
I was gonna I was gonna kind of drag it over here, because
these are the same folks that have been telling me that everything's great on the
border, crimes crimes plummeting. Uh, your money, it never went further,
everything's great. And meanwhile I'm sitting here doing a story about eight Isis
folks who came across the border, including one who just used o'biden's new app
to do it. Man, Absolutely, that was the exact place I was
going, Casey. These are the same people who want to tell your children
that they're two hundred and fifty seven genders and they allow them to watch for
pornography in elementary school. These are the same people who want to tell you
that the border should be wide open and that we shouldn't charge people with crimes
who steal nine hundred and ninety nine dollars worth of your stuff. The same
people who want to put criminals on a revolving door. These are the same
people who call folks like me and blue collar workers the lower classes, the
people who are not fit to be in office. They are the same ones
who come up with these terrible ideas that translate into terrible policies that end up
delivering horrendous results. Again, we've got to reject them. And the more
they talk, the more they show us exactly who they are. The title
of the article from New York Magazine is Mark Robinson is Maga's great Black hope.
Do you like your position like that? And what kind of pressure does
that put on you? If any? Zero? Zero? Because we know
what we're doing here is we're not here to push any type of but political
agenda. Were here to do is we're here to be the governor of North
Carolina in order to take North Carolina to its next great heights. The Republican
Party turned the financial fortunes up this state around and put us on firm financial
footing. And now it's time to use what we've that groundwork that's been built
by the legislature to get a governor and a Lieutenant governor and Attorney general in
office that can really start the process of really growing this state into the absolute
economic superpower that it can be. And that's where we're going. We're not
after pushing political agendas. We're at to making sure that North Carolina starts that
process of growing into that giant economic superpower that it can be. And we
want to do it the right way. Okay, well what is the right
way? Obviously we have been on an upward trajectory the Rainy Day Fund.
We don't carry debt unlike you know, places like California and others that are
insanely in debt. So how do we make sure that we continue it,
especially with the fact that because of you and your existence, the amount of
money and focus on North Carolina by people who don't like you and don't like
your existence is going to trickle over to all these other fights. So how
do we keep growing. The way we do that is we continue to focus
on the subsidi of issues. Number one. We focus on the subsidive issues
and the work in hand. We continue to do what we need to do
to make sure that our state to try to change the cultures inside of meaning
of our state agencies to make sure that they're not adversarial to the folks that
they have sway over are working with, but instead are there to try to
facilitate those business and success. Now, when I say that, let's be
clear. When I say that, I don't mean allowing them to break the
rules. They certainly need to put up the guardrails, but we don't want
to make the guardrails in the barrier. So we want to kind of change
the culture of our state agencies to let them know that they're there as a
help not a hindrance. Number two, we need to continue to work with
our legislatures to stay bysically stable and physically responsible. That will go a long
way to helping us be able to overcome some of the things that may be
happening at the federal level. Hopefully the federal level will be changing in November,
but if for some strange reason it does not, it's even more of
a reason for us to double down on our fiscal responsibility here in North Carolina.
The third thing is this, I know for a fact that you can
do things and make things so that they are what I call undeniable. And
when I say that, I say this, I say that it means this
in North Carolina. Yeah, Mark Robinson, is this thing you think is
this crazy conservative? But we want to make our states so good that despite
the fact that you hate me, you can't help but come here to do
business because you know you're going to be successful. And that's the kind of
government we want to build here in North Carolina. And that's the kind of
standard we want to set here in North Carolina. We want it to be
undeniable for these businesses that they're going to have to grint their teeth and bear
it that this conservative is at the helm. But if I don't go to
this state, I'm going to be leaving nat as possibly big as the dollars
on the table. Yeah, And I think that's why we've seen this great
debate. I don't know that it's a debate because facts are on my side
and your side here. But what the Republicans have done, for all the
grief that even I give them, is this is an environment where you can't
help but do business here. And and that's that's that's got to stick in
their crawl mark every day. It does. It does, and you know,
I think it really you do it, and it starts trickling down to
the local level, which is something we desperately need to do we see it
happen in other states? In some of the big areas that used to be
totally blue, now they're starting to turn a little bit red or almost completely
red in some cases in some states. You know, that's what we have
to do. We have to continue to deliver the goods to folks. We
have to continue to deliver those things that they need, the economy and all
the associated things healthcare, house and public safety, infrastructure. We have to
continue to deliver great educational opportunities to everybody K through twelve adult ed. You
deliver those things to folks, and I think you're I don't think. I
know you're going to say great success? Do you think? And I certainly
believe this, So I'm going to approach it from I think it's happening.
I think that every every mile comes with an inch. Right, you say
you give them an inch, they're going to take a mile. With the
expanse of nature of what government has become and the most basic expectations which now
are not something that are just purely right left, but rather have a lot
of crossover, like childcare. I never thought that I would see a day
when the majority of North Carolinians thought that childcare should be part of the guaranteed
constitutional educational experience here in North Carolina. But that's where we seem to be
if you believe the polls, and I don't think they're necessarily wrong. So
how do you combat the expanse of mindset without irritating folks that you're going to
need to vote for you mark because you have gotten. You've got to show
people that the way to pass government assistance or the help of the government,
so to speak of the welfare state is by presenting opportunities to people that actually
yield results. You know, we've got to again got to fix our K
through twelve education system to start raising up another generation of children who are searching
out the diversity, equity and inclusion, but instead of searching out to discipline,
excellence and intelligence. You have to present opportunities to adults in the works
in the workforce, not just to move laterally, but to move upwards to
improve their standards. And so these are the things that we have to do.
The opportunities that you lay in front of people that actually yield great results
or what's going to determine whether or not they're going to cold team to lean
on the government or they're going to be able to lean on the power of
their own hands. Yeah, and I just don't know that it goes anywhere.
And then people are able to go out and say that Mark Robinson wants
he doesn't want public schools anymore. Is that true? You don't want public
schools anymore? Absolutely not. I want our public schools to be healthy and
strong, and I want them to do the right thing. But the bottom
line is this, If our public schools and the people who operate and run
our public schools, the leadership of our public schools, if they are not
willing to do the things that deliver public education to students and parents and teachers
to help that institution be successful, it will not be me so will bring
that to an end. It will be them. I did not do anything
to close down towards us on radio shacks. Those businesses went down because they
refuse to keep up with the trends of their customers, that listen to their
customers, or be able to deliver their goods in a way that was condu
if in the times that they were. If public education and the leadership thereof
wants to be hard headed, doesn't want to change the thing that's wrong,
the things that are wrong, does not want to listen to the parents who
are demanding better, do not want to listen to the teachers who are demanding
better. Then it's not my fault that public education will start to decline.
Now, we don't want that to happen. We're going to do everything in
our powers to try to strengthen public education in this state and make sure that
public education is delivering a great product for lack of a better term, because
we know that so many people public education systems. But at the same time,
we're also going to make sure that parents have the ability to choose where
their children are educated, because we think that is the number one right in
education. So it's not a matter of hating the public education system or wanting
to see it destroyed. It's a matter of trying to deliver all those systems,
and I believe we can do that if we're all on the same page
as searching for the right thing. Last point I want to make I don't
like it when the media dictates to me what are the biggest issues in North
Carolina? First and foremost, Because I do this for a living, I
think I have a pretty good finger on the pulse. You have folks around
you that also are, you know, making sure that you're talking about what
it is people want to talk about. And yet I read these articles after
articles this from Ril could end see ban birth control, Stein Robinson's spar over
issue and then they go on to say abortion and birth control is the top
issue in the governor's race. Do you believe that? Absolutely not, absolutely
not. It's their top issue. It's the only thing that they have to
argue about, Casey. And the reason why is this because when we talk
about public safety, when we talk about the economy, when we talk about
infrastructure, when we talk about healthcare or education, no matter what it is,
they lose on every single solitary, substantive issue. Let me tell you
about a conversation I had real quick with a young lady in the gym names
in the gym yesterday. She told me she was all in the fence about
voting for me, but she finally that she would. And the reason why
is because she said, your opponent only want to talk about abortion. And
then she said, I'm as polite as anybody, but there's more to this
than just a bullshit. I'm concerned about my children's education and whether or not
I'm going to have a job in six months because of the business I work
in. I want somebody is working on all of the issues, not just
one. Well. It's not the first time that the as somebody who has
tried to single issue something and it has worked. I firmly believe that Dan
Forrest lost because of the mask issue, and I think people were scared.
And so if you've been to the well once and it worked out, Mark,
I understand why they're going to want to go there again. It's going
to be on you to expand and say, hey, no, there's one
hundred other things we got to talk about. And it sounds like folks are
that's up than they do want to do. Absolutely, But I con tell
you this case, there are more people out there that understand that the substantive
issues that we face right now are paramounts. The North y'alline legislature already dealt
with that issue. They set us at twelve weeks, and that conversation is
not due to come up anytime again anytime soon. They set us at twelve
weeks, and that's where we are right now. What we need to focus
on is making sure that North Carolina does what it needs, does what it
needs to do to continue to combat the things that we see at the federal
level. There's massive inflation, the supply chain issues, so we can help
this state to continue to grow. That's what we need to focus on right
now. We've already done that work on that issue, and we need to
get busy on the substantive issues now, Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, Mark,
I really appreciate the time this morning doing the rescheduling, and we'll talk soon,
sir. Okay, you got it, sir, Thank you all right.
Although I will add this, I think the lunatics that no like will
likely follow Mark around on the campaign trail. They're going to try to make
it the issue of the day and then the photos can be run by Ral.
Anyway, we'll be back hang on here on the CaCO Day Radio program,
Home of Cannons and Firearms with two hundred shells, not because we need
it. I was reliably informed yesterday that nobody needs magazine that holds two hundred
shells. Which the way you get one of those, if you want to
be technically accurate, is you take your kids to the beach with an old
Newsweek and then have them store their shells in it. But I digress.
It was the semi annual Joe Biden rambling with the same debunked anti gun crap
speech going on yesterday, and I don't know it was creepy out more that
or Ross. Did you see Joe Biden not dancing next to Kamma dancing?
I mean, I don't want to dance around a bunch of people in public
either, So I don't even know that I could. I could hack on
the dude, but I think our reason for not dancing might be different.
Uh. Anyway, So he's doing the mom's demand action thing on the same
day his kid is found guilty of federal firearm charges because he has a disease,
which nobody's denying the idea that addiction is a disease, But it also
isn't a get out of jail free card. Case in point, If I
am an alcoholic and every day I go to the bar and drink all the
Jack Daniels and then drive home and then I plow into a school bus because
what are those kids doing out at two in the morning, I'd not it's
not negated because I have an addiction and that seems to be the way that
this is this is being covered including uh, was it Mollijong Fast who's like
I too drink too much? Okay, well, don't go out by a
gun, falsify records and probably buy crack two. Don't do that. So
all that's going on. Biden's up there with his with his gun graber stuff.
And here we go. Why this summit, why all of you here
today are so damn important. We need you, We need you to overcome
the relenting opposition of the gun lobby, gun manufacturer's, so many politicians when
they oppose common sense, the people, the the the pushback by the people.
You realize that the reason that politicians do that is because the people who
vote for him go, that's the second Amendment. No, you need to
go and tell them no on my behalf. But you're right, it's just
the gun lobby, because nobody'd want guns if Ruger wasn't running you know,
print ads or something. It's just so dumb legislation. I used to be
a law when I was no longer the vice president. I became a professor
at the University of Pennsylvania. Before that, No, you didn't not in
the true sense. Just like Hillary. If you ever watched the video of
Hillary at George Washington, you're not professors. Shut up. I taught a
cons social law class, and so I talked to the Second Amendment, and
that was that was debunked. He did not do that. He did not
teach a constitutional law class. Okay, all right, So so we're clear.
There's never been a time that says you can own anything you want.
The never. You couldn't own a cannon during the Civil War, that's already
been that's you could. You could own a cannon. Now Ross has ten
cannons, try to rob his house? Go ahead, fully within the Second
Amendment? How do you how do you man ten cannons with just three people?
Though that's got to be different. That's very impressive. Actually, I
guess you know everybody gets a turret and watch out who think about it?
How much have you heard this phrase the blood clash of give me a break?
If you don't know it, that's a problem because it's about you.
Since we're going with this also, it's not that's not the quote, but
whatever, but it's but I understand what you're driving. That's about you.
That's about you, and anyone who would want to be your in your position,
in your job, and whether you take it in the literal sense or
if you take it in the figurative sense, the idea, the ideal in
America that if we got to go through and we got to throw all of
you out on your on your on your behinds, sometimes that has to happen.
Over at the FBI, they're literally they they're literally looking at people's political
affiliation. They removed a guy's security clearance because from a distance, he went
and watched January sixth speeches, not the capital insanity, the speeches, because
he works he works there. I'm sure other workers from the government went out
and they're like, ah, what's going on, Well watch this and then
didn't involve themselves generally because of their position. They just they just went through
and purged a dude. And then they find out that they're going through and
they're looking at people's social media who work there and deciding whether they get security
clearance or hired or fired. It's exactly what they go, well, how
does how do these agencies or universities or whatever get this way? It's death
by a thousand cuts, and it's this stuff and eventually, then you have
a work environment where no sane person who might have differing political beliefs would want
to put up with that every day going into work hoping they don't find out
who you actually thought might have had a good idea, so that they can
ostracize you and freeze you out of opportunity. That's how it happens. But
tell me again, please go ahead, Oh I mean that seriously. And
by the way, if they want to think is to take on government if
we get out of line, which they're talking on again about, well guess
are they've at fifteens? They don't need no rifle? Well, can we
have the ones you lose? Can we keep? Can we play finders keepers?
And also obviously they don't presenting Afghanistan, although I guess maybe now they
have access to F fifteen's the you know, the idea, and we someday
we can get deeper into this when I have a story that attaches to it.
If you think that in a civil war in the United States right now
would would in any way shape or form resemble the civil war as we understand
it here in the US, or the revolutionary war, that's insane, that's
dumb. And if you're planning for that, you're planning to lose. And
it's not some you know, chest bump kind of thing. There. I'm
not flexing on. I'm just pointing out that that's not in modern society.
How these things happen. It's as much it's as much a mental thing as
it is a physical thing. And what do you do. You're gonna go
through pick a conservative, large city, I guess you know, are you
going to go through and turn it to glass? No you're not, so,
you know, let's let's be honest about this. Now. He loves
these quotes, he loves these statements. Ross, You didn't have to reload
this stuff. This stuff's in the system, right Like we have Biden Cannon
audio we have from the very beginning you weren't allowed to have. By the
way, listen to how alive he sounds, yeah twenty twenty. Yeah,
that's what I was thinking. Like the difference, it's so apparent it's the
same lies. Well that's with a lot more enthusiasm. You go back to
the audio you just played, right, and he can he can't get through
the line that he's given a million times. He's given this line and this
lie about the canon a million and he can't get through it. And then
you play the old audio from twenty twenty when he was campaigning, and it's
just completely different from the very beginning. You weren't allowed to have certain weapons.
You weren't allowed to own a cannon during the Revolutionary War as an individual.
I mean that is night and day, and that's audio that was dubbed
in on the same machine, using the same programs into the same system.
There is no difference except what is on the audio. What's the date on
the middle one? Here it's cut off on my thing. This is the
Tree of Liberty? What's the dates January? Is this January of twenty twenty
four? Okay, this is twenty twenty four, January of twenty twenty four,
the same line. And I love people said the blood of liberty or
ashore me, shoot me? The tree of liberty is water. Were the
blood of patriots? Well guess what, man, I didn't see a whole
lot of patriots that out there walking around making sure that we have these weapons.
Well, and if you really want to worry about the government, you
need an F sixteen. Oh wait, wait, hold on, I thought
I needed a Ross I went and bought F fifteens. Oh, it was
announced. That's how we get you what's that show? I went to the
costco. Do you know how they had F Fifteen's you for? You've made
a five pack? Yeah? And so what am I gonna do with all
these F fifteens now? So that this is what they're doing. They're trying
to financially sap me. I see what's going on. I'm not falling for
it. Ray stage A here to see if you'll fall for the weather forecast,
which is you know, magic, But go ahead, wizard, tell
us what's coming. Yeah, well, it's heat and maybe some of the
hottest numbers we've had so far this year. Don't want to say summer.
It's not officially summer yet. Uh not today. The hottest day looks like
it's gonna be Friday. Today will be in the mid upper eighties, lots
of sunshine, might see a few clouds at times, and then as we
roll on through tonight, we'll be back in the minut upper sixties, so
starting to get a little bit milder even at night, and then rolling through
the day tomorrow, you're just above ninety depending on where you are. I
think it's more upper eighties, Tria Triangle at er above ninety degrees, and
if you are going to be out on Friday, sunshine, mid nineties,
probably the hottest day, and then over the weekend your ninety degrees and sunny.
I really don't see a bunch of rain here even into early next week.
Case see not much in the forecast, if any at all. There
is an invest area going through north central Florida that's going to get into the
western Atlantic. Twenty percent chance of that developing into something tropical, though the
chances do look pretty low. Shouldn't have any impacts here if there are,
and that does get a little stronger maybe along the coastal areas where they may
see a little kickup in the wave action and thus the surf and the beach
erosion. But right now that threat does look limited, all right, and
then you keep it there and you know, if it comes to Pinehurst,
we're gonna talk, okay, all right, Yeah, we're good man,
We're good, good good. Thank you. Raced Agic there from the Weather
Channel and Jeff Bellinger next, hang on, Well morning, investors really like
the latest inflation data just released in Washington. The headline Consumer Price Index was
unchanged last month. The economists thought we'd be hearing about a one tenth one
percent CPI increase. The core CPI also posted a smaller than expected increase in
May, it was up two tenths percent. Stock market futures looking really good
right now. S and P futures are up forty six points, Nasdaq futures
are up one hundred and seventy nine, and the Dow futures are up two
hundred and ninety eight points. Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell holds a news conference
this afternoon. Investors will be anxious to hear his reaction to the new inflation
numbers. This has not changed economists view that interest rates will be left unchanged
today. The question now is whether it moves up expectations for when rates might
be cut. The housing market showing some signs of life. Last week,
mortgage bankers report application volume rose for the first time since mid May, and
it was a solid fifteen point six percent. In months of merger talks between
Paramount Global and Skydance Media are over and there's no deal. Sherry Redstone,
whose National Amusements as Paramount's controlling shareholder, has walked away from the talks.
An activist investment firm may want to know why Southwest Airlines has not joined other
carriers that ring every possible dollar from their passengers. Elliott Investment Management has acquired
a big stake in Southwest it has been pushing for changes. Southwest is the
only US airline that lets customers check two bags for free. It is indicated
that policy is not up for discussion in Casey. A lack of charging infrastructure
has been one of the obstacles to widespread adoption of electric vehicles, and the
shortage of charters chargers is being made worse by criminals. Authorities all around the
country say thieves are targeting ev charging stations, stealing the cables for their valuable
copper wiring. Casey, okay, so so, more crackheads, more copper
cables, more fun stories. That's that's core. We're headed. Okay,
all right, very good, Thank you, Jeff. Oh shit, have
a good day, take care of Yeah, there you go. Jeff Ellinger
from Bloomberg News, Hey, uh, let me ask you, uh this
for mostly for the dudes, all right, mostly for the dudes. You
ever lusted over another dude's pants so bad? You're willing to spend the cost
of a house to own them or do would that be weird? Sounds kind
of weird, right, Ross, That sounds weird, right? You ever
lusted over another dude's pants? Pants? Yeah, I can't say that I
have like pants and then will yeah, like pants, you know pants that
they you know, some dude war You're like, I got to have those
pants because another dude wore them. In fact, I'm willing to spend what
many people's probably spent for their house ten years ago to acquire them. I
only say this because they are positively giddy up there in a greater mass well,
you know, the rest of the word land over the fact that Tom
Brady's pants may soon become and it's the numbers are there. They got to
certify it the most expensive pants ever sold at auction because a bunch of dudes
wanted Tom Brady's pants, and we're willing to run the bidding up to ninety
thousand dollars to acquire the pants. Specifically, the pants were the pants that
were worn in the twenty twenty three NFC Wild Card Game, which is was
Brady's last game. So they're also loser pants, you know, just thinking
about that. Not only are you spending nearly one hundred K on another dude's
pants, they're loser pants, I mean technically right. Well now, what
was the NFC wild Card score twenty twenty three NFC. Yes, that's what
I typed. Yeah, that's right. Let's see do do do do Now
it's trying to show me the whole thing. Well anyway, so yeah,
you know the gist. By the way, they have, let's see,
overtaken the previous record for other some dudes pants that people just had to have,
which were the nineteen twenty one season, you know, going back to
the nineteen twenty one season, they were Babe Ruce pants.
