1
00:00:24.399 --> 00:00:29.320
So I don't have you ever played
a golf game on a video and I'm

2
00:00:29.320 --> 00:00:34.280
not counting Gold Day. I have
never actually played. I've never actually played

3
00:00:34.320 --> 00:00:39.359
golf. And the last golf game
video game I played was probably on the

4
00:00:39.399 --> 00:00:46.439
Super Nintendo or maybe the original nosso
I think had Lee Trevino in the cover.

5
00:00:47.039 --> 00:00:49.759
Yeah, I was. I was
trying to remember what some of the

6
00:00:49.759 --> 00:00:54.920
early games were. They weren't good. I remember that I had UM.

7
00:00:54.920 --> 00:01:00.200
I had a Doss base game right
that way back in the day, or

8
00:01:00.240 --> 00:01:03.359
it was on my grandfather's computer,
and basically, you know, you would

9
00:01:03.439 --> 00:01:07.560
enter command lines and then it would
tell you what you did, but there

10
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:11.280
was no graphics to it, so
you'd be like, uh, you know,

11
00:01:11.319 --> 00:01:14.079
you'd enter the club you want to
hit based on the yardage, and

12
00:01:14.120 --> 00:01:17.760
then you'd hit it and did tell
you you hit it that many yards And

13
00:01:17.959 --> 00:01:22.319
I remember thinking that was the most
awesome thing back in the day. There

14
00:01:22.319 --> 00:01:26.799
are a lot of games like that
back in the day because before that I

15
00:01:26.920 --> 00:01:29.239
had, you know, I didn't
use We didn't have a computer in my

16
00:01:29.280 --> 00:01:34.319
house. My grandfather had one,
and that was the first computer game I

17
00:01:34.359 --> 00:01:38.719
think I played. That's why the
original organ Organ Trail was so amazing because

18
00:01:38.319 --> 00:01:46.760
there was actually a wagon in a
trail and uh and uh illness and death.

19
00:01:47.000 --> 00:01:53.359
So right, I mean think think
about that conceptually too, like that

20
00:01:53.480 --> 00:01:57.719
was the first video game I ever
played where you could die. I guess

21
00:01:57.840 --> 00:02:00.879
I was thinking about the yesterday saw
something on Twitter where it was like,

22
00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:05.079
what is your favorite, you know, death screen from a video game as

23
00:02:05.079 --> 00:02:07.520
a kid, And it was this
the still screen of Oregon Trail, and

24
00:02:07.520 --> 00:02:10.360
I said, you died of dysentery, right, the classic you died of

25
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:14.680
dysentery. And I was thinking back, like, yeah, it's a meme

26
00:02:14.759 --> 00:02:16.680
now, but but I was thinking
back like at the time it didn't seem

27
00:02:16.719 --> 00:02:21.439
crazy. But you're in third grade
and you're seeing that on like you're a

28
00:02:21.439 --> 00:02:25.479
computer screen. Huh, it's pretty
amazing, and you know, like two

29
00:02:25.560 --> 00:02:30.840
members of your family are dead,
right, tragic, right, But it

30
00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:34.400
never really registered right now at all. I'm gonna go hunt and let's you

31
00:02:34.439 --> 00:02:38.960
know, let's let's let's waste a
bunch of meat. So yeah, Ross

32
00:02:38.039 --> 00:02:42.280
was telling me he thinks you want
to play He's thinking of playing a golf

33
00:02:42.319 --> 00:02:47.039
game on his um. Well whatever, Yeah, it's PG two K twenty

34
00:02:47.039 --> 00:02:51.240
three I was thinking about playing it
and streaming it and just whispering the whole

35
00:02:51.240 --> 00:02:53.800
time, you know, nonsense,
because I don't nothing about golf. You

36
00:02:53.840 --> 00:02:57.840
know, Oh, he's using the
fourteen, he's in the fourteen world in

37
00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:01.560
the twenty five, and he's playing
oh right, right in the sandpiper in

38
00:03:01.560 --> 00:03:05.120
the sand, look at it right
in the sand. Dollar, Wow,

39
00:03:05.240 --> 00:03:09.719
Jimmy, he's going for that green
jacket percent off or iron And that's not

40
00:03:09.879 --> 00:03:15.000
a casey. There's twenty five percent
off at Olive Garden, it's twenty percent

41
00:03:15.039 --> 00:03:19.000
off at Red Lobster, and fifteen
to Chili's. Applebee's comes off at a

42
00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.759
dis kind of ten percent with the
green jacket, while look at that,

43
00:03:23.039 --> 00:03:27.840
Oh wow. No, so you
know nothing about the mechanics of a golf

44
00:03:27.879 --> 00:03:32.280
game. Not a damn okay.
So it could be entertaining, but but

45
00:03:32.280 --> 00:03:37.639
it's still like it's an expensive game
still, and it's a massive game from

46
00:03:37.639 --> 00:03:42.400
what I was looking at, Like
the install was like sixty or seventy gigabytes

47
00:03:42.800 --> 00:03:46.599
maybe north of that. Like that's
bigger than Far Cry five, that's bigger

48
00:03:46.599 --> 00:03:53.159
than Fallout four, that's bigger than
Hogwarts Legacy. And I'm watching people's stream

49
00:03:53.159 --> 00:03:55.840
it right now, and it's like, yeah, I have it off in

50
00:03:55.879 --> 00:04:00.639
the in the background here. It's
not that complicated live a game. I

51
00:04:00.639 --> 00:04:03.199
don't understand why it's taken up that
much room. It doesn't even look that

52
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:06.560
great, be honest, I haven't. I hadn't looked at it yet.

53
00:04:08.280 --> 00:04:14.240
What's it called PGA two K twenty
three Tiger Woods in the front. Yeah,

54
00:04:14.319 --> 00:04:15.199
yeah, yeah, Well, you
know back in the day, that

55
00:04:15.360 --> 00:04:19.959
was that was, that was the
game. And then when the Tiger stuff

56
00:04:20.040 --> 00:04:26.639
happened, EA Sports being EA Sports
basically gave up on it. They killed

57
00:04:26.680 --> 00:04:30.399
the billion a lot of times.
It's big because you you can design courses

58
00:04:30.839 --> 00:04:36.839
and then people can download your courses
and they had a whole awesome place you

59
00:04:36.839 --> 00:04:42.879
could go and do that, and
then that got trashed. That got ruined.

60
00:04:43.360 --> 00:04:46.920
A bunch of the old courses didn't
function, and it's like, why

61
00:04:46.959 --> 00:04:50.279
would you kill the thing people loved? And they killed it because people were

62
00:04:51.160 --> 00:04:56.800
they weren't buying the next year's game
because there were still hundreds of courses they

63
00:04:56.800 --> 00:05:00.399
had never played. It was a
mess, man. So I'm surprised they're

64
00:05:00.439 --> 00:05:02.639
back at it with Tiger. I
guess enough time has passed. Um,

65
00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:09.639
is it EA doing it though,
um HB studios. I don't know.

66
00:05:09.720 --> 00:05:15.079
Maybe that's under the whole thing there, So all right, so um,

67
00:05:15.600 --> 00:05:18.920
well, and then you could get
people to uh, you know, golf

68
00:05:18.959 --> 00:05:24.560
clap that are watching you stream it. They could golf clap. They could

69
00:05:24.680 --> 00:05:28.680
yell get in the hole, which
people annoyingly do at golf tournaments for some

70
00:05:28.759 --> 00:05:32.040
reason. You could get drops from
caddyshack. Yeah. I mean, there's

71
00:05:32.040 --> 00:05:35.600
a lot of potential here. And
I feel like I could pull off whispering

72
00:05:35.680 --> 00:05:41.319
nonsense for two and a half three
hours, absolutely but a like like you

73
00:05:41.319 --> 00:05:45.199
know, what I would be saying
would would probably mean absolutely nothing, but

74
00:05:45.279 --> 00:05:54.920
it would be close enough to maybe
fool someone that was really dumb. I

75
00:05:55.240 --> 00:05:59.680
you know, I would encourage you
to do it. I will, I

76
00:05:59.680 --> 00:06:01.839
will tune in for that, I
will lurk or whatever them that's the term

77
00:06:01.879 --> 00:06:08.680
where I just okay, don't say
anything. Uh and um, I feel

78
00:06:08.680 --> 00:06:12.720
like it's going to be a tragedy
for it until you get the swing mechanics

79
00:06:12.800 --> 00:06:15.879
down, because that's always that's the
learning curve of those games. My thing

80
00:06:15.920 --> 00:06:18.319
would be, I'd be afraid that
I'd be too good. I didn't get

81
00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:25.720
bored too easily, right, So
okay, Kim Jean with your eighteen all

82
00:06:25.800 --> 00:06:29.759
right. So that's the thing.
That's the thing. Before the show we

83
00:06:29.759 --> 00:06:32.480
were chatting about just Ross randomly said
I think could get and I've tried to

84
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:38.079
get him to get a golf game
previously he did not seem interested. So

85
00:06:40.399 --> 00:06:45.199
maybe maybe he's coming around. Um, I'm sorry, I'm having to restart

86
00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:47.399
my words. So I was just
dragging there we go. Okay, all

87
00:06:47.480 --> 00:06:54.040
right, wonderful. Um. Yesterday
on the show, we spent we talked

88
00:06:54.040 --> 00:06:57.839
about two big stories and a bunch
of little stuff. One was the sub

89
00:06:57.959 --> 00:07:04.120
in Rocky Mount with the girl and
the phone and the part where I didn't

90
00:07:04.160 --> 00:07:08.680
think and a lot of you didn't
think she did anything wrong the teacher in

91
00:07:08.680 --> 00:07:14.879
that case. But the one that
got the most feedback on obviously was this

92
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:18.879
what a minute and a half a
minute and a half or so of bodycam

93
00:07:19.000 --> 00:07:28.800
footage that was on the twitters and
it showed what transpired prior to police going

94
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:34.639
to the first Reopen NC protest at
the Capitol during the beginning parts of COVID

95
00:07:35.839 --> 00:07:43.120
and the pregame, which included no
mass, no gloves, some rather coarse

96
00:07:43.240 --> 00:07:47.519
language by at least one of the
officers who seems very excited to go arrest

97
00:07:47.560 --> 00:07:55.680
somebody for wanting to not have to
shut all the businesses, and a very

98
00:07:55.879 --> 00:08:01.199
different way of going about it throughout
the totality of this with what we saw

99
00:08:01.360 --> 00:08:07.600
of with later protests by different groups
who the governor chose to walk with,

100
00:08:07.800 --> 00:08:15.319
and those escalated finally into some significant
vandalism and violence, right, and it

101
00:08:15.360 --> 00:08:20.000
was handled very differently. The media
handled it very differently. The quote unquote

102
00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:24.560
health experts right somehow found that if
you're protesting, and you're protesting for social

103
00:08:24.639 --> 00:08:31.679
justice, then your immune or something
or the virus can't get you. I

104
00:08:31.720 --> 00:08:39.320
saw people attempting to make arguments online
like this saying since they were moving protests,

105
00:08:39.360 --> 00:08:48.519
they were less likely to get COVID. It was all absurd and it

106
00:08:48.720 --> 00:08:56.360
didn't look good. It doesn't look
good for police, and specifically the individual

107
00:08:56.480 --> 00:09:03.440
who was the officer in charge was
giving the briefing who's now since retired,

108
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:11.559
the female officer referring to going and
getting those m efforts, and just generally

109
00:09:11.960 --> 00:09:18.600
the double standard which normally is a
discussion we have about leadership and seem to

110
00:09:18.639 --> 00:09:24.399
involve some of the rank and file
and I thought we had a good discussion,

111
00:09:24.480 --> 00:09:26.039
and I got a lot of email. I got an email from law

112
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:31.879
enforcement officers who who thought that the
criticism was fair, others who didn't think

113
00:09:31.879 --> 00:09:37.720
it was fair. And that's what
that's intended to do. And if that's

114
00:09:37.759 --> 00:09:43.559
where it had been left, we
wouldn't have to lose our damn minds for

115
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:50.600
a second day. But we're going
to because apparently apparently some folks whoard us

116
00:09:50.639 --> 00:09:56.200
talking about it or saw it go
viral, saw the Twitter stuff on it,

117
00:09:56.799 --> 00:10:03.240
and that necessitated action. And so
now we have the woman who was

118
00:10:03.360 --> 00:10:07.919
arrested there, Monica Usury, who
is apparently going to be back in court

119
00:10:09.000 --> 00:10:13.320
on Thursday. I'll explain exactly how
that went down, how we got there,

120
00:10:13.440 --> 00:10:18.360
and I I have some thoughts.
I don't know. I don't I

121
00:10:18.360 --> 00:10:22.639
don't know why you'd get this ball
rolling. But if that's what the police

122
00:10:22.720 --> 00:10:33.039
want to do, specifically, this
is there. Her title is the I'll

123
00:10:33.080 --> 00:10:35.360
pull it up because I want to
read it in its entirety. If you

124
00:10:35.399 --> 00:10:39.960
want to go down this road,
I don't understand it, and I'll explain

125
00:10:41.000 --> 00:10:45.240
my reasons for not understanding it.
And I don't know what you think the

126
00:10:45.360 --> 00:10:46.879
end game is going to be because
it's it's not going to be in that

127
00:10:48.000 --> 00:10:56.840
positive but we'll get to that coming
up six eighteen, hang on celebrating ten

128
00:10:56.919 --> 00:11:03.360
years keeping you connected. This is
WPTI in the Triad and one oh six

129
00:11:03.440 --> 00:11:18.000
one FM Talk in the Triangle.
Our good morning and welcome. It is

130
00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:26.840
six twenty two here on the case
O Day Radio program. All right,

131
00:11:28.320 --> 00:11:31.120
I'm gonna get into because I'm gonna
need I'm gonna need quite a bit of

132
00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:35.559
time to set it up, but
I'll save you having to read it and

133
00:11:35.639 --> 00:11:45.000
track it down. So the reaction
yesterday after I guess enough pub not by

134
00:11:45.080 --> 00:11:50.080
any of the local TV stations I
see, which is weird because this story

135
00:11:50.120 --> 00:11:58.240
has everything they like, right It
has police, uh you know some It

136
00:11:58.360 --> 00:12:05.000
has some police officers who somebody in
the community is criticizing. It has people

137
00:12:05.720 --> 00:12:09.399
not wearing or social distancing, wearing
masks and social distancing. I mean,

138
00:12:09.600 --> 00:12:20.360
it has everything. It has right
leaning thinking people being arrested. I mean,

139
00:12:22.159 --> 00:12:26.039
I can't think of a story that
that really ticks as many boxes as

140
00:12:26.080 --> 00:12:31.879
what normally they would be all over
but I you know, in this case,

141
00:12:31.960 --> 00:12:39.759
it's they're very busy. I'm sure
doing other stories, so I gotta

142
00:12:39.799 --> 00:12:43.639
be honest, I thought the story'd
be left there. We reached out to

143
00:12:43.720 --> 00:12:46.919
the chief, the new chief who
was not the chief at the time,

144
00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:54.559
right, and wanted to get the
chief of police on and talk about,

145
00:12:54.600 --> 00:13:01.000
you know, hindsights twenty twenty and
you have this reopen and then see arrest,

146
00:13:01.120 --> 00:13:05.840
and then after this took place,
of course, you had the uh

147
00:13:05.879 --> 00:13:11.399
you know, the burn it down
protests, and I just wondered being able

148
00:13:11.399 --> 00:13:16.519
to look at all of that,
how it informs how she is going to

149
00:13:16.559 --> 00:13:20.240
manage her department's response to things like
that, should should they happen in the

150
00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:28.360
future, but ross she's she's busy
or something right too. Wasn't able to

151
00:13:28.480 --> 00:13:31.440
get her on the air today.
Uh, they actually got back, which

152
00:13:31.519 --> 00:13:35.159
was pretty impressive. No, I
appreciate that. I think they've answered a

153
00:13:35.159 --> 00:13:37.559
few times. I've asked them to
come on. They've never come on,

154
00:13:37.679 --> 00:13:41.720
but they've always responded. So yeah, I did. I emailed the chief

155
00:13:41.720 --> 00:13:46.919
directly and I got a response from
them like the public public affairs, public

156
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:50.000
affairs, whatever it is, and
they said, nah, we can't do

157
00:13:50.039 --> 00:13:52.039
it today, can't get interview today, And they got it's like around like

158
00:13:52.080 --> 00:13:54.360
two or three in the afternoon,
and I said, no, no,

159
00:13:54.360 --> 00:13:58.279
no, no, like I we
were helping for tomorrow morning. Maybe yeah.

160
00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:01.799
I said, that's also not possible. We apologize. So then I

161
00:14:01.840 --> 00:14:03.799
wrote back a third time and I
said, well, how about any time

162
00:14:03.879 --> 00:14:09.919
this week? And I've yet to
hear back. Okay, so we've extended

163
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:13.720
Thursday Friday. We'll we'll move some
stuff around if necessary. I think it's

164
00:14:13.759 --> 00:14:22.399
an important conversation. What do you
what do you think if you have if

165
00:14:22.399 --> 00:14:28.679
you were a betting man, you
think you think they're going to be busy.

166
00:14:28.679 --> 00:14:31.360
They're probably pretty busy. I think
they're pretty busy. Yet okay,

167
00:14:31.720 --> 00:14:37.720
all right, well they are busy
because lo and behold this is going on.

168
00:14:39.000 --> 00:14:46.080
We're talking about it, and all
of a sudden, the woman in

169
00:14:46.159 --> 00:14:50.120
question and you need to understand and
we'll get into it. Um where this

170
00:14:50.279 --> 00:14:54.759
was left legally, has now received
a summons to show up in court.

171
00:14:56.559 --> 00:15:03.159
Yep, yep um. The woman
in question, Monica Usury, who was

172
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:09.480
the person who was arrested. One
of the organizers for the protest, said

173
00:15:09.519 --> 00:15:18.039
that the Wake County District Attorney's office
is wanting to hold her in contempt because

174
00:15:18.279 --> 00:15:24.000
Lo and behold even though I understood
that this case was adjudicated, they were

175
00:15:24.039 --> 00:15:26.559
done. They drug it out for
a long time, but eventually it got

176
00:15:26.600 --> 00:15:33.039
tossed out. They had a gag
order because you know, they didn't want

177
00:15:33.120 --> 00:15:39.320
you the public being able to see
this for some odd reason. And they

178
00:15:39.360 --> 00:15:45.399
think that she released it, even
though that's not the Twitter account where it

179
00:15:45.399 --> 00:15:52.759
came from. She says she didn't
release it, but immediately after the bad

180
00:15:52.799 --> 00:15:56.399
press they want to drag her in
and have a judge hold her in contempt.

181
00:15:56.440 --> 00:15:58.879
And I don't know that they're going
to be able to prove it.

182
00:15:58.559 --> 00:16:03.759
And frankly, now you're extending what
already looks really bad for you. Why

183
00:16:03.759 --> 00:16:07.000
why can't the public see this?
We know why the public can't see it

184
00:16:07.039 --> 00:16:14.200
because it doesn't look good. Why
is there a decision being made to alienate

185
00:16:15.600 --> 00:16:26.120
a section of the public who normally
is pretty pro police, right like this,

186
00:16:26.120 --> 00:16:29.840
This is the part that doesn't make
any sense to me. Most of

187
00:16:29.840 --> 00:16:34.679
the people are are you know that
that we're upset? Are people who have

188
00:16:34.879 --> 00:16:40.320
like the blue you know, back
the blue stuff in the under twig and

189
00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:44.039
and these are the folks. Now
you're irritating so we'll dive into this.

190
00:16:44.720 --> 00:16:49.919
What is that's come one oh six
one f M Talk and WPTI, two

191
00:16:49.960 --> 00:16:56.639
stations driving the best in talk.
This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning

192
00:16:56.639 --> 00:17:03.720
News. All right, good morning, six thirty five here on the case

193
00:17:03.920 --> 00:17:11.599
O Day Radio program. All right, just reading an email, you are

194
00:17:11.640 --> 00:17:17.519
not the only police officer who has
mentioned that, and so when I get

195
00:17:17.599 --> 00:17:22.680
to that part, I will include
it, and I believe it. But

196
00:17:22.920 --> 00:17:33.559
it doesn't change the fact too that
there are similar elements in what people were

197
00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:38.400
doing during the COVID lockdown and very
different ways in which it was handled.

198
00:17:38.480 --> 00:17:44.000
So we will talk about that,
and frankly, I think the reason it

199
00:17:44.039 --> 00:17:48.359
needs to be addressed is that the
you know, the police officer on the

200
00:17:48.400 --> 00:17:52.319
ground, you're you guys and gals
are the ones who are going to take

201
00:17:52.359 --> 00:18:00.519
the brunt of a changing opinion on
the part of the portion of protests who

202
00:18:00.559 --> 00:18:03.279
generally are pro police. I understand
that there are some that are not,

203
00:18:03.880 --> 00:18:08.920
and they can be quite nasty.
I've actually seen it. You know.

204
00:18:08.920 --> 00:18:14.039
I'm not going to get into is
there a higher percentage with that type of

205
00:18:14.039 --> 00:18:22.400
protest or a different one. That
being said, I think there's a higher

206
00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:27.759
probability that people are going to be
more understanding of law enforcement and tell something

207
00:18:27.799 --> 00:18:36.119
like this happens, likely more willing
to work or at the very least not

208
00:18:36.240 --> 00:18:41.359
be giant a holes to them.
Compared to what I saw with other protests,

209
00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:45.839
I don't think they were throwing frozen
water bottles at the police, or

210
00:18:45.920 --> 00:18:53.240
maybe they work. Correct me if
I'm wrong. But maintaining that trust and

211
00:18:53.400 --> 00:19:00.119
cooperative nature with law enforcement and the
public is a huge issue right now.

212
00:19:00.720 --> 00:19:11.880
It's one that politicians have run on
recently, as you know, defund the

213
00:19:11.920 --> 00:19:18.720
police and and lots of people make
a lot of money fundraising every time the

214
00:19:18.759 --> 00:19:25.079
police do something, whether they did
something bad or not, so it it

215
00:19:25.119 --> 00:19:30.359
feeds the beast. Okay, So
with that in mind, we're going to

216
00:19:30.960 --> 00:19:33.000
explore this, and I want to
start with the post by the woman who

217
00:19:33.079 --> 00:19:41.920
was arrested, Monica Usury, who, in response to receiving a claim that

218
00:19:41.960 --> 00:19:48.160
she is in violation, motion for
an order to show cause is technically what

219
00:19:48.240 --> 00:19:52.759
she was issued. And what you
have is you have prosecutors asking for contempt

220
00:19:52.839 --> 00:20:00.200
charges because there was a gag order. Why there's a gag order on that

221
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:04.599
piece of video? After this thing
is supposedly done. We talked about it.

222
00:20:04.880 --> 00:20:10.079
It's it's one of the things that
I find very irritating. And I

223
00:20:10.200 --> 00:20:14.000
know in North Carolina we have when
it comes to body camp footage, we

224
00:20:14.119 --> 00:20:18.960
have kind of a unique law how
it works. But on just making the

225
00:20:19.160 --> 00:20:26.960
general assumption that she released it,
I hope you have proof, and you

226
00:20:26.039 --> 00:20:32.559
know, is it a good use
of everyone's time, considering the willingness on

227
00:20:32.599 --> 00:20:37.799
the part of prosecutors these days to
basically ignore things that arguably are much more

228
00:20:37.920 --> 00:20:45.279
provable. But she did. She
did post a response. I suspect maybe

229
00:20:45.960 --> 00:20:48.240
that I don't know if that's part
of the gag order, and they'll want

230
00:20:48.240 --> 00:20:53.240
to get her in trouble for that. But we'll concentrate on what she wrote,

231
00:20:55.079 --> 00:20:57.079
which I find very interesting. She
said, here's the court filing I

232
00:20:57.160 --> 00:21:02.279
received a few hours ago. A
lawyer for police suddenly doesn't like Twitter.

233
00:21:03.319 --> 00:21:07.440
Well, they like Twitter when they
were tweeting about arresting me. I can't

234
00:21:07.480 --> 00:21:12.440
read one of those words. If
I'd leak the footage myself, I would

235
00:21:12.440 --> 00:21:18.880
have done so before Lauren Freeman was
reelected, and I would have done so

236
00:21:18.960 --> 00:21:25.279
before Captain Bond, who is the
officer you hear giving the plan of action

237
00:21:25.319 --> 00:21:30.519
in that video before he retired a
fraction of the truth. I repeat a

238
00:21:30.599 --> 00:21:34.400
fraction, not even the parts I
personally would have chosen to leak myself,

239
00:21:34.480 --> 00:21:40.640
because I personally prefer the footage that
proves my court testimony was truthful. And

240
00:21:41.000 --> 00:21:45.480
an officer in this case, it
seems, a State Capitol police officer.

241
00:21:45.480 --> 00:21:52.079
She claims committed perjury. So she's
got beef, but she's got specific beef

242
00:21:52.480 --> 00:21:59.519
that she says that that snippet of
video really is not she would she's got

243
00:21:59.640 --> 00:22:03.799
juice, is basically the claim there. I'm not going to read the entirety

244
00:22:03.839 --> 00:22:08.680
of her statement, but I you
know, maybe we got to see the

245
00:22:08.680 --> 00:22:14.640
whole thing. Maybe we got to
watch the whole thing, she says.

246
00:22:14.680 --> 00:22:18.359
Here's one of the many things I
never shared publicly. After I requested internal

247
00:22:18.400 --> 00:22:23.079
affairs investigate and determine if any footage
existed, I was told, yes,

248
00:22:23.119 --> 00:22:27.240
it did. The officer called me
to say footage was found and formed me

249
00:22:27.680 --> 00:22:33.680
it wouldn't help my case because he
quote saw me standing with hands on my

250
00:22:33.839 --> 00:22:44.160
hips. Is that all it takes
to get arrested at a protest? Let's

251
00:22:44.160 --> 00:22:49.039
see here, I'm piecemealing some of
this out, she says. She goes

252
00:22:49.039 --> 00:22:52.759
on to say State Capitol police officer
committed perjury, and I couldn't prove my

253
00:22:52.839 --> 00:22:59.599
testimony because I was deprived of the
bodycam footage that proved it wasn't me who

254
00:22:59.680 --> 00:23:03.920
lied. So I don't know the
whole like you're getting. You're getting a

255
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:11.440
little piece of the story there,
and I don't know what transpired specifically.

256
00:23:12.279 --> 00:23:15.319
She goes on to say, they
first tried to shut us all up by

257
00:23:15.359 --> 00:23:22.720
shutting down a peaceful protest, then
by creating an MSM that wouldn't obviously mainstream

258
00:23:22.759 --> 00:23:27.519
media. They tried to shut us
up by shadow banning post withholding proof of

259
00:23:27.599 --> 00:23:33.839
my innocence and dragging out the court
case. And then after I finally get

260
00:23:33.839 --> 00:23:37.480
the footage, they get a gag
order for it. For the record,

261
00:23:37.519 --> 00:23:41.839
I received permission to share these pictures. I'm sharing because it's public record.

262
00:23:41.880 --> 00:23:48.880
The lawyer complaining about email addresses being
shared publicly. I wish she could walk

263
00:23:48.920 --> 00:23:55.119
a mile in my shoes, because
every time an employer or a perspective employer

264
00:23:55.160 --> 00:23:57.400
googles my name, the first thing
they see is a picture of me and

265
00:23:57.519 --> 00:24:02.519
handcuffs, and that's ever going away, because well, the internet's the internet.

266
00:24:04.319 --> 00:24:14.039
Um get into some specific criticism about
the Capitol Police chief Holly, Uh

267
00:24:14.440 --> 00:24:17.960
you know, well, uh,
well, I retweeted it yesterday. So

268
00:24:18.000 --> 00:24:21.519
if you want to see a go
to Twitter and at Casey on the radio.

269
00:24:21.559 --> 00:24:25.119
You'll see the original post where it's
at and then it's in picture forms.

270
00:24:25.160 --> 00:24:30.480
You got to read it because it's
obviously very long. But drag I

271
00:24:30.480 --> 00:24:34.440
guess they're going to drag her in
and claim contempt and I you know,

272
00:24:34.599 --> 00:24:38.839
really, at this point, my
question would be, how if this thing

273
00:24:38.960 --> 00:24:45.440
is quote unquote done, are are
we still going down this road? Is

274
00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:52.119
she not allowed to ever talk about
what happened? Is their limitations on the

275
00:24:52.200 --> 00:25:00.160
speech as well as the bodycam footage. Why don't we address the bodycam footage?

276
00:25:00.759 --> 00:25:06.759
Why don't we address what took so
long to get the bodycam footage at

277
00:25:06.799 --> 00:25:08.960
a time when she's having to go
to court and put on a defense.

278
00:25:10.000 --> 00:25:14.920
Here I got I got a gazillion
questions, and I don't like the idea

279
00:25:14.920 --> 00:25:21.599
of a judge and prosecutors colluding to
make sure that nobody can actually see a

280
00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:27.559
bunch of the evidence. You know, this is the same crap that happened

281
00:25:27.599 --> 00:25:32.720
when we were just talking about the
State auditor. You think that there's the

282
00:25:32.960 --> 00:25:38.079
not city of Raleigh, cameras everywhere, go downtown sometime, go downtown basically

283
00:25:38.079 --> 00:25:44.440
in any decent sized city, and
chances are there's there's surveillance cameras down there.

284
00:25:45.279 --> 00:25:48.960
And I would argue that on one
of the busier blocks in the form

285
00:25:48.000 --> 00:25:52.519
of Hargot Street down there, they're
gonna have a few. And it's a

286
00:25:52.559 --> 00:25:56.279
trick question. I know they do
because I can see them because I went

287
00:25:56.279 --> 00:26:00.240
and look, and they got a
bank right there. I'm sure they have

288
00:26:00.319 --> 00:26:06.880
some the point forward, there's an
ATM across the street. But you know

289
00:26:07.039 --> 00:26:10.359
they were not they were not gonna
release any of that because quote, it's

290
00:26:10.599 --> 00:26:14.640
you know, it's a pending case
and things are happening. So when when

291
00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:18.839
we're done and the state auditors pled, now and you've charged to other people,

292
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:23.480
but specifically the State auditors pled,
how come we can't see those what's

293
00:26:23.519 --> 00:26:30.440
the point of having this giant surveillance
state in both fixed camera and bodycam footage?

294
00:26:30.960 --> 00:26:36.359
If if you got to you gotta
know somebody who knows somebody to get

295
00:26:36.359 --> 00:26:41.000
a hold of this stuff, all
right? Eight eight eight nine three four

296
00:26:41.200 --> 00:26:47.480
seven eight seven four, Um,
Steve, go right ahead, what's up,

297
00:26:47.519 --> 00:26:55.079
sir? Hello Steve? Hey,
yay m. Sorry, I'm listening.

298
00:26:55.319 --> 00:26:59.640
And it's like a sweater man,
it's just unraveling as you're talking.

299
00:26:59.680 --> 00:27:02.880
I mean, the guys on the
street I told us, you know,

300
00:27:02.920 --> 00:27:06.680
they're kind of like the military man. They're just falling orders. Were they

301
00:27:06.720 --> 00:27:10.599
a little bit over the top?
Was it seemed being joble and all that.

302
00:27:10.720 --> 00:27:14.480
Yes, I mean I can concur
there, but they're just being told

303
00:27:14.480 --> 00:27:17.160
what to do. The problem is, as you're talking now, as you

304
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:22.000
start to get up into the elected
officials and inner workings of government, and

305
00:27:22.400 --> 00:27:27.839
we'll just pick out Raleigh for today, they're all corrupt and they're they're playing

306
00:27:29.119 --> 00:27:33.880
playing us and and keeping what what
we can't see from us, so that

307
00:27:33.920 --> 00:27:38.960
we can't make a decision when it
comes to start voting these people out of

308
00:27:40.000 --> 00:27:45.759
here. And that's that's the problem. They're they're criminals. This is criminal.

309
00:27:45.160 --> 00:27:52.319
This woman was doing nothing well and
obviously by the way they were acting,

310
00:27:52.359 --> 00:27:55.880
they knew. They knew you,
the inner workings knew that there was

311
00:27:55.920 --> 00:28:02.359
no need to be massed up because
they weren't with the point let me say

312
00:28:02.400 --> 00:28:04.039
this. Let me say this,
I don't disagree with you. I think

313
00:28:04.039 --> 00:28:10.400
that the because this was based on
the governor's executive order, which you know,

314
00:28:10.559 --> 00:28:17.400
did get some court challenges and was
upheld. But the I don't believe

315
00:28:17.440 --> 00:28:21.839
that that was correctly decided. And
I think we saw every time the governor

316
00:28:21.880 --> 00:28:23.920
thought he was going to lose on
something like bowling alleys or whatever, they

317
00:28:23.920 --> 00:28:29.319
would acquiesce. So they didn't.
There wasn't a trail of them losing.

318
00:28:29.759 --> 00:28:34.039
The whole thing was corrupt in the
way that it was handled, especially now

319
00:28:34.200 --> 00:28:41.720
knowing the information. But at the
time they were making this arrest based on

320
00:28:41.839 --> 00:28:48.039
the Lauren Freeman advice. You can
hear the police talk about it based on

321
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.880
the governor's executive orders, so that's
what they were basing it on. But

322
00:28:53.039 --> 00:28:56.960
I you know, there was one
officer pushing back in the video too.

323
00:28:57.039 --> 00:29:00.279
I guess I you know, I
don't know how much. And again they

324
00:29:00.359 --> 00:29:04.200
have, you know, down town
to the street level. Those guys,

325
00:29:04.440 --> 00:29:08.359
you know, just like everybody in
their job, how hard you push back

326
00:29:08.400 --> 00:29:11.559
on something you don't agree with that
to lose your job? I mean they're

327
00:29:11.559 --> 00:29:15.119
being told what to do that it's
you know, the governor wouldn't even take

328
00:29:15.119 --> 00:29:18.720
a press conference the whole thing.
The businesses were shut down, people lost

329
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:23.680
their jobs, and you're seeing the
behind the scenes the government, because let's

330
00:29:23.680 --> 00:29:27.759
through these guys represent they weren't massed
up. They didn't they didn't have six

331
00:29:27.839 --> 00:29:34.640
foot barriers around them. But yet
we the citizens and business owners were told

332
00:29:34.640 --> 00:29:37.960
to shut out doors and lock ourselves
up and not talk to anybody. Wear

333
00:29:38.079 --> 00:29:41.039
mass if you even wanted to go
outside. I mean, you talked about

334
00:29:41.079 --> 00:29:45.400
it yesterday. Guy running down the
beach chase by cup. This video is

335
00:29:47.200 --> 00:29:49.519
a thread on a sweat that starts
to show the government knew it was all

336
00:29:49.599 --> 00:30:00.240
bullcraft. It is so frustrating.
People lost businesses over this tyrannical government move.

337
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:03.680
And I don't want to sound like
a tin hat, but good god

338
00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:07.599
man, this woman is like the
tip of the spear with this video.

339
00:30:07.319 --> 00:30:11.920
This shows that they knew it was
all theater. Oh. They mash the

340
00:30:12.640 --> 00:30:17.599
media, and the media is culpable. They're a bunch of freaking Oh.

341
00:30:18.279 --> 00:30:23.839
I can't even they're not covering they're
not covering any of this. They they

342
00:30:23.880 --> 00:30:27.960
gleefully covered it the first time around
because they got to see the you know,

343
00:30:29.000 --> 00:30:34.119
the the old, the old arrest
and now it will but it does.

344
00:30:34.240 --> 00:30:40.359
But ironically they love trashing on the
police, and arguably this would be

345
00:30:40.400 --> 00:30:48.799
another opportunity, but they can't because
they would have to It's it's man.

346
00:30:48.640 --> 00:30:52.720
So I'm not anti police, but
man, this does not look good.

347
00:30:53.359 --> 00:31:00.200
No, And I've heard from I've
heard from probably six officers all no,

348
00:31:00.880 --> 00:31:07.920
of all but one of them is
Raleigh PD or Capitol Police, and um,

349
00:31:07.799 --> 00:31:11.880
you know, they have thoughts and
they don't feel that their thoughts necessarily

350
00:31:11.880 --> 00:31:15.920
are being reflected in the decisions that
are being made. And there it's a

351
00:31:17.000 --> 00:31:21.000
rock and a hard place. What
do you do because if we voted one,

352
00:31:21.240 --> 00:31:23.119
if you don't play ball, get
well. The thing is, they

353
00:31:23.160 --> 00:31:26.000
said, you know, one guy
said it like, if you don't play

354
00:31:26.079 --> 00:31:32.880
ball, you're you're you're destined to
go nowhere within the department. And I

355
00:31:32.880 --> 00:31:36.960
mean that's that's the way government works, period. I mean, if you

356
00:31:37.039 --> 00:31:41.640
don't tow the line any promotion,
any move up, you're not even considered.

357
00:31:41.680 --> 00:31:44.559
I mean, I have friends of
working government, I have a family

358
00:31:44.559 --> 00:31:47.839
member as a police office. If
you don't toe the line of whoever's up

359
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:51.640
up channel from you, you don't
get any of the extra perks. You

360
00:31:51.640 --> 00:31:55.640
don't get the good assignments, you
don't get the cushy You just you just

361
00:31:55.720 --> 00:32:00.279
become, you know, dirt on
the heel. I appreciate the call this

362
00:32:00.359 --> 00:32:06.079
morning, sir. I gotta I
gotta just check in my ex But yeah,

363
00:32:06.319 --> 00:32:09.440
no, ever self a good one
there. Yeah, well we'll do

364
00:32:09.480 --> 00:32:15.200
lots of calls today because my voice
is still well you can hear so,

365
00:32:15.480 --> 00:32:20.359
but I did. I don't sound
like I have a clothes pin on my

366
00:32:20.440 --> 00:32:23.599
nose, which is what Boston Paul
thought. He was real cute to send

367
00:32:23.640 --> 00:32:29.000
me an email about the other day. So all right, six fitty we

368
00:32:29.079 --> 00:32:32.200
got, Well we can talk about
this for sure. I don't understand why

369
00:32:32.240 --> 00:32:36.480
they want to go, you know, go to the net with this thing,

370
00:32:36.559 --> 00:32:38.200
but that looks like what they're going
to do. We got a lieutenant

371
00:32:38.240 --> 00:32:43.000
governor coming up, you know,
Frankly I this would be a good little

372
00:32:43.240 --> 00:32:49.000
project for him, I think,
because he's holding his event this weekend at

373
00:32:49.039 --> 00:32:52.640
a speedway. He's he's he's down
with this, and I don't know exactly

374
00:32:52.680 --> 00:32:59.440
what he can do local police,
but state Capitol police lieutenant governor likely going

375
00:32:59.480 --> 00:33:04.759
to run for governor. We'll talk
to him. That'll be at to five,

376
00:33:04.880 --> 00:33:08.359
So stick around back in just a
few minutes the show. After the

377
00:33:08.400 --> 00:33:14.359
show is on the iHeartRadio app.
Search Casey O Day for the podcast on

378
00:33:14.400 --> 00:33:20.359
the iHeartRadio app. All right,
quickcall, quickcall before we get into news

379
00:33:20.359 --> 00:33:22.920
and all that. Joey, it
got about a minute. Go ahead,

380
00:33:23.640 --> 00:33:27.440
Hey, Casey, how you doing? Man, I'm good, sir.

381
00:33:29.839 --> 00:33:31.720
Ed AI to this mix now?
And then what are we really going to

382
00:33:31.799 --> 00:33:36.759
be seeing? You know? Because
it's here now, it's the radio.

383
00:33:36.799 --> 00:33:39.519
They got videos out of people saying
what they want them to say, they

384
00:33:39.559 --> 00:33:45.119
got pictures of things that they want
you to see. It it's out now.

385
00:33:45.319 --> 00:33:49.279
I mean, it's here. And
don't think that these entity can manipulate

386
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.039
things now to see what you need
to see instead of what really happened.

387
00:33:52.079 --> 00:33:55.440
That's what scares me more than anything
about all of this stuff. Now,

388
00:33:57.279 --> 00:34:01.160
it's hard to believe exactly what you
see anymore because is it real? Well

389
00:34:01.359 --> 00:34:06.039
yeah, yeah, I mean we're
you know, they're they're having conversations about

390
00:34:06.119 --> 00:34:10.159
how to unplug AI and I admittedly
I guess that is any when it comes

391
00:34:10.159 --> 00:34:15.239
to any video, whether it's body
cam or otherwise that's that's a conversation that

392
00:34:15.800 --> 00:34:21.360
we're going to be having. I
don't know that anyone's alleging that the video

393
00:34:21.760 --> 00:34:29.519
was not what happened though, and
context matters, right. I'll, in

394
00:34:29.519 --> 00:34:32.320
fact, i'll read an email on
that point coming up here in the next

395
00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:37.519
hour, because I've gotten several iterations
of it, and I think it's a

396
00:34:37.559 --> 00:34:40.280
fair point on the part of the
police. So we'll get into that and

397
00:34:40.400 --> 00:35:07.320
much more coming up after the news. All right, good morning and welcome.

398
00:35:07.360 --> 00:35:15.800
It is seven oh six Wednesday,
thirty minutes away from halfway through the

399
00:35:15.840 --> 00:35:19.639
week, so we like that.
Um, oh, what is this?

400
00:35:24.199 --> 00:35:30.440
I don't I don't do the no, I'm just sorry. I'm just reading

401
00:35:30.440 --> 00:35:34.000
this email here. Uh, I'm
I'll set that up here in just a

402
00:35:34.039 --> 00:35:38.559
moment, all right, you know
what, Yeah, it's this is like

403
00:35:38.599 --> 00:35:44.840
one of those can't win situations in
in the sense that everyone thinks I'm hating

404
00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:46.719
on him from all sides. So
maybe that's just me doing my job.

405
00:35:47.159 --> 00:35:53.880
Here's here's the thing that bothers me. It is the larger issue. And

406
00:35:54.079 --> 00:35:58.400
uh, and then we're gonna we're
gonna chat with somebody in law enforcement.

407
00:35:59.280 --> 00:36:08.039
But the larger issue is I think
it is incredibly apparent that we have a

408
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:13.360
a I'm not even gonna use the
word crisis. We have problems right now

409
00:36:13.960 --> 00:36:23.719
with many cities, many jurisdictions that
are seeing upticks in crime, significant things

410
00:36:23.760 --> 00:36:30.400
that you just wouldn't have seen,
like a hundred two hundred use destroying downtown

411
00:36:30.559 --> 00:36:37.320
Chicago and nobody doing anything about it. I watched a woman yesterday go into

412
00:36:37.400 --> 00:36:44.360
a Walmart in Chicago, or Chicago
or just adjacent and but the point was,

413
00:36:44.400 --> 00:36:47.559
she went into the Walmart, and
she went there to get food for

414
00:36:47.599 --> 00:36:54.320
her kids, and she's crying,
and she is a she is a woman

415
00:36:54.320 --> 00:37:04.360
of color, and she is beside
her self because she can't understand why there

416
00:37:04.559 --> 00:37:10.119
is this pervasive attitude within her community
that they would go and destroy literally like

417
00:37:10.239 --> 00:37:15.360
one of the few options for her
to get food in a convenient manner for

418
00:37:15.440 --> 00:37:21.079
her family at a price that fits
within her budget. And she's crying while

419
00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:25.880
doing this. Now, that's one
example of it, and there is there

420
00:37:27.079 --> 00:37:32.320
is a whole lot of problems.
Many of them are politically motivated. And

421
00:37:34.639 --> 00:37:39.000
if if you're a police officer and
you're watching this and you do go out

422
00:37:39.000 --> 00:37:45.239
and you do try to do things
the right way, and you do attempt

423
00:37:45.320 --> 00:37:49.239
to just you know, do the
job you were hired to do, do

424
00:37:49.360 --> 00:37:54.280
so in a professional manner. There
are whole swaths of society who don't feel

425
00:37:54.320 --> 00:38:00.079
that you're useful anymore. Never mind
what then happens with these stories? And

426
00:38:00.559 --> 00:38:07.079
I I don't know, I don't
know how we just sit there and decide,

427
00:38:07.119 --> 00:38:13.880
all right, Um, you know
everyone, everyone who you know who

428
00:38:14.000 --> 00:38:15.679
doesn't want to follow the law doesn't
have to follow the law. And then

429
00:38:15.800 --> 00:38:21.679
prosecutors won't do anything about it.
The police feel that what's the what's the

430
00:38:21.760 --> 00:38:24.360
point of arresting this guy because he's
just going to be back on the street

431
00:38:24.440 --> 00:38:30.960
in like two hours on a signature
bond. And um, if something,

432
00:38:30.199 --> 00:38:35.880
if something happens where they're put in
a position where they have to escalate force,

433
00:38:36.480 --> 00:38:42.000
how is that going to be perceived
when one of the media outlets decides

434
00:38:42.079 --> 00:38:46.960
to make a a very partisan story
out of it. Right, But the

435
00:38:47.000 --> 00:38:51.679
fact is is you you have you
you have to control crime. You have

436
00:38:51.760 --> 00:38:58.280
to do something, and putting people
on the honor system ain't working. So

437
00:38:58.760 --> 00:39:02.840
all of this this is buy a
thousand cuts with this. That's the issue

438
00:39:02.840 --> 00:39:08.519
that I have, So you know, for those of you who are who

439
00:39:08.559 --> 00:39:13.960
are you know besides yourself and you're
in law enforcement and you think I'm attacking

440
00:39:14.000 --> 00:39:19.440
you. No, we're doing this
story. We're doing this story because it

441
00:39:19.519 --> 00:39:24.719
is. It is just another example
of where the relationship is being harmed.

442
00:39:24.800 --> 00:39:29.119
And we talked about this with teachers
too, and I think COVID dredged a

443
00:39:29.199 --> 00:39:35.239
lot of that up because people saw
enforcement surrounding you know, government orders,

444
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:38.519
executive orders from the governor more specifically, but some of the things that they

445
00:39:38.519 --> 00:39:45.039
did at city levels, and they
didn't they didn't feel that those were decisions

446
00:39:45.199 --> 00:39:50.880
and rules and laws that were arrived
at in a in a legal manner.

447
00:39:52.840 --> 00:39:57.639
So they have questions and then this
is what you see. So and then

448
00:39:57.679 --> 00:40:00.559
those of you who think I'm old
protesters want to go out there, they

449
00:40:00.559 --> 00:40:04.320
can say whatever they want that you
sure you can, but you're still you

450
00:40:04.360 --> 00:40:07.079
know, I don't know if you
know this. Just because you can do

451
00:40:07.159 --> 00:40:14.760
something doesn't mean you should. So, you know, maybe we're maybe we're

452
00:40:14.800 --> 00:40:17.519
onto some everyone's mad at me.
One of the guys we talked to from

453
00:40:17.599 --> 00:40:24.800
a law enforcement standpoint is now it's
a different kind of accountability for him because

454
00:40:24.840 --> 00:40:30.239
he's actually an elected official that he
is Sam Paige, Sheriff of Rockingham County,

455
00:40:30.840 --> 00:40:35.039
and he joins us, Sam,
how are you doing this morning,

456
00:40:35.079 --> 00:40:39.519
sir? Doing good? Come to
you laugh from McAllen, Texas. What's

457
00:40:39.719 --> 00:40:45.039
what's going on in McAllen, Texas? Well, I'm on the National Chriff's

458
00:40:45.039 --> 00:40:52.880
Association Border Security Committee and the Southwest
Riff and the Texas Border Chefs Coalition are

459
00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:55.800
meeting for a few days this past
week. Are gonna Today's gonna be last

460
00:40:55.880 --> 00:41:02.039
day and as an opportunity to interface
with a head of Border Patrol U the

461
00:41:02.840 --> 00:41:07.840
EA or down here. Uh.
Several speakers, but basically just the state

462
00:41:07.880 --> 00:41:10.400
of the situation with the I was
concerned about the eventnel issues and how to

463
00:41:10.400 --> 00:41:15.159
impact us back in the Piedmont area, North Carolina and across the country because

464
00:41:15.719 --> 00:41:17.119
you know, we're seeing the impact
of it and we know where it's coming

465
00:41:17.119 --> 00:41:22.119
from. Did you Um, We're
talking about something a little different, but

466
00:41:22.159 --> 00:41:25.559
I'm going to tie it into what
you just meant you. Yeah, did

467
00:41:25.559 --> 00:41:30.079
you see this video this body camp
footage this minute and a half prior to

468
00:41:30.400 --> 00:41:37.239
the arrest that was made over at
the Reopen NC protest As what protest.

469
00:41:37.360 --> 00:41:43.639
Now it was the reopened NDC protest. This is the the folks who when

470
00:41:43.719 --> 00:41:49.159
the governor's first orders came down and
we waited the fifteen days to slow the

471
00:41:49.199 --> 00:41:52.159
curve or whatever, and it was
it was apparent that they were just gonna

472
00:41:52.199 --> 00:41:57.159
they were gonna keep it up,
and businesses were closing and people were restricted.

473
00:41:57.880 --> 00:42:00.880
During the very first protest, Raleigh
police, Capitol Police they showed up

474
00:42:00.880 --> 00:42:07.039
and they arrested one of the organizers
because she wouldn't disperse. And in the

475
00:42:07.159 --> 00:42:10.320
video you see the officers, you
know, pregaming, getting ready to go

476
00:42:10.440 --> 00:42:15.840
and break this thing up. And
they're not wearing masks, they're not you

477
00:42:15.880 --> 00:42:20.599
know, they're not social distancing,
and they literally say, hey, we

478
00:42:20.679 --> 00:42:25.119
better do it because it won't look
good if we're arresting people for not you

479
00:42:25.159 --> 00:42:30.599
know, we would look hypocritical.
And there's some there's some discussion by one

480
00:42:30.599 --> 00:42:35.760
of the officers where he's like,
well, like he was pushing back.

481
00:42:35.800 --> 00:42:39.599
He doesn't feel comfortable, and other
officers she's ready to go to go arrest

482
00:42:39.679 --> 00:42:46.719
the mffers. And it's what I'm
hearing from a lot of police officers,

483
00:42:46.719 --> 00:42:51.880
and I want it from a from
your perspective. Is the way in which

484
00:42:51.920 --> 00:42:57.719
officers deal with chat with each other
is it's it's a sense of humor all

485
00:42:57.760 --> 00:43:00.559
on its own. It's a discussion. It's in many cases it's about relieving

486
00:43:00.639 --> 00:43:06.559
stress. And to some extent,
I get that. But um, you

487
00:43:06.559 --> 00:43:08.400
know, with everybody running around with
a body cam, now, how has

488
00:43:08.440 --> 00:43:14.599
that changed how you guys have to
do stuff? And what do you think

489
00:43:14.639 --> 00:43:17.920
of when if some of your deputies
were on video doing that? What would

490
00:43:17.960 --> 00:43:22.400
you think? Well, you know, you know, I have policies and

491
00:43:22.480 --> 00:43:25.599
procedures that that that we can operate
and operate it, you know, efficiently.

492
00:43:27.039 --> 00:43:30.039
Uh, you know, we're gonna
We're gonna make sure that we do

493
00:43:30.079 --> 00:43:32.880
follow our policies and procedures. Uh, you do have state law, when

494
00:43:32.880 --> 00:43:36.800
you do have several law. But
I mean I see some of the some

495
00:43:36.880 --> 00:43:39.440
of the conflicts that you that you're
talking about. I mean, it was

496
00:43:39.480 --> 00:43:44.920
an unusual time, not only for
law enforcement, but for us in America.

497
00:43:44.960 --> 00:43:46.679
I mean, you know when the
lockdowns, when the lockdowns came in,

498
00:43:46.760 --> 00:43:50.599
the restrictions came so like this,
it was just a lot of stuff

499
00:43:50.639 --> 00:43:52.800
coming at us that we'd never seen
or you know, I've been involved in

500
00:43:52.880 --> 00:43:57.119
before. So you know, we
had to work through it. Now that

501
00:43:57.199 --> 00:44:00.639
now you mentioned the governor, and
the governor did uh come out with some

502
00:44:00.679 --> 00:44:04.360
policies that that uh that was put. There was pushback, and I tell

503
00:44:04.360 --> 00:44:07.119
you one of them was h was
church and freedom of religion. Now,

504
00:44:07.480 --> 00:44:10.519
UH, we did push back on
that, sheriff from across North Carolina.

505
00:44:10.920 --> 00:44:15.079
UH. You know, it was
a constitutional issue, a consisitutional guarantee freedom

506
00:44:15.119 --> 00:44:20.239
of religion and UH, and we
supported that freedom. And then episode there

507
00:44:20.320 --> 00:44:25.000
was also some pastors that also UH
brought a lawsuit uh and in junction uh

508
00:44:25.039 --> 00:44:30.400
with the governor UH on that particular
issue, and were prevailed. UM.

509
00:44:30.440 --> 00:44:34.159
But there were there were some things
that you know, the governor was saying

510
00:44:34.159 --> 00:44:37.760
that you know, we we we
abided by. But it was let me

511
00:44:37.800 --> 00:44:40.280
just say it was an unusual time. Body cameras and something like this.

512
00:44:40.400 --> 00:44:45.719
I've been in law enforce before over
forty years and after before you know,

513
00:44:45.800 --> 00:44:52.159
before we had body cameras and and
and as you start seeing more and more

514
00:44:52.679 --> 00:44:55.000
agencies coming home, I think the
body cameras actually have turned out. We've

515
00:44:55.000 --> 00:44:59.679
realized that you know, it protects
the public. UH, it also protects

516
00:44:59.679 --> 00:45:02.480
the order. UH. And you
see what your your your personality doing is

517
00:45:02.679 --> 00:45:08.119
a good representation what you're doing,
so you can evaluate and something it shouldn't

518
00:45:08.119 --> 00:45:12.960
be going on, you can you
can go to stop it? Do you?

519
00:45:13.440 --> 00:45:15.280
How do you? I'm sorry,
Sam, I just want to because

520
00:45:15.280 --> 00:45:20.400
I kind of want to stick to
this one point that you just mentioned,

521
00:45:21.000 --> 00:45:25.679
how do you? Because the beef
that people really have is that protest which

522
00:45:25.800 --> 00:45:29.760
was very early on in COVID.
They were like, we're going to go

523
00:45:29.840 --> 00:45:34.519
bust this thing up, and nobody
was violent. I guess some people might

524
00:45:34.559 --> 00:45:37.519
have been saying stuff to the police, but unfortunately that's something that you guys

525
00:45:37.519 --> 00:45:45.000
got to deal with in your careers. Um. But they they treated later

526
00:45:45.079 --> 00:45:49.559
protests, which were, you know, the social justice protests, very differently,

527
00:45:50.599 --> 00:45:54.599
where the governor's walking around with his
mask hanging on his ear, police

528
00:45:54.639 --> 00:46:00.719
are being warned not to say things
and on body him footage that's insulting about

529
00:46:00.760 --> 00:46:06.039
the protesters, and a couple of
police officers actually ended up getting in trouble.

530
00:46:06.400 --> 00:46:09.480
So it is that huge double standard. I think what really is getting

531
00:46:09.599 --> 00:46:14.760
folks so is the guy who sets
you set the mood and the attitude for

532
00:46:14.840 --> 00:46:19.199
your department because you're the boss,
you're the sheriff, right, How important

533
00:46:19.400 --> 00:46:23.639
is that to make sure that that
doesn't happen. It's very important that the

534
00:46:24.079 --> 00:46:29.599
policies and procedures that are set set
forth for operations that are here too.

535
00:46:29.800 --> 00:46:34.719
That's very important. Uh. That's
why you have supervision. That's why that's

536
00:46:34.719 --> 00:46:38.840
why you have you have policive procedures. It gives you a guideline to follow.

537
00:46:38.920 --> 00:46:44.440
But as far as double standards,
now that's that I agree with you.

538
00:46:44.440 --> 00:46:45.800
You know, you know, if
you've got if you've got a process

539
00:46:45.800 --> 00:46:49.960
you've got to follow, then you
need to follow it. And you also

540
00:46:50.280 --> 00:46:53.800
need to hold yourself accountable. Um
in your first nail. And you know,

541
00:46:53.880 --> 00:46:59.639
and again when we've worked with a
public for many years and again like

542
00:47:00.079 --> 00:47:04.239
double standards, you know that doesn't
fly with me. Well, what do

543
00:47:04.280 --> 00:47:07.000
you say to people who see that
and go, you know what, screw

544
00:47:07.079 --> 00:47:10.360
them? Um, I'm you know, I'm I may have dealt with law

545
00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:15.400
enforcement in the past and been polite, but now my attitude is going to

546
00:47:15.440 --> 00:47:20.239
be one that's similar to the fund
the police people. How detrimental is this

547
00:47:20.400 --> 00:47:25.400
to law and order in North Carolina
Rockingham County? Uh, the US for

548
00:47:25.440 --> 00:47:29.519
that matter, how bad is it
getting when you're talking to all the other

549
00:47:29.559 --> 00:47:35.199
sheriffs you're with right now. Well, I think you I think during the

550
00:47:35.239 --> 00:47:39.880
COVID period, a lot of attitudes
did come out of a lot of people

551
00:47:39.880 --> 00:47:42.960
didn't agree with a lot of stuff
they were seeing. A lot of the

552
00:47:42.960 --> 00:47:45.599
tuffic didn't agree with the scene.
I saw a lot of businesses go out.

553
00:47:45.800 --> 00:47:47.119
I mean, it was a tough
time case. It was a tough

554
00:47:47.159 --> 00:47:52.079
time for us in North Carolina and
across the country. Uh. And then

555
00:47:52.119 --> 00:47:55.760
you attacked, you attack owned the
fear of COVID and the and the and

556
00:47:55.800 --> 00:48:00.679
the medical side of that, and
people were dying and stuff and not knowing

557
00:48:00.840 --> 00:48:06.199
really all the information I am.
Plus then if you look at what you're

558
00:48:06.199 --> 00:48:08.960
seen on TV, some things you're
seen on TV, it didn't it didn't

559
00:48:08.960 --> 00:48:12.880
make sense. And uh, you
know, I mean, you know,

560
00:48:12.920 --> 00:48:15.199
the governor was on the on the
TV every day, given a briefing stuff

561
00:48:15.199 --> 00:48:19.719
like this. But um, there's
there's some of the I think some of

562
00:48:19.719 --> 00:48:23.320
the different policies that we had not
been subjected to before I did create a

563
00:48:23.360 --> 00:48:29.400
lot of concerns amongst sous you know, and questions and questions. Um.

564
00:48:29.480 --> 00:48:31.320
But but you know, I think
we I think we we came out of

565
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:36.280
it and we learned a lot also, we learned a lot also. But

566
00:48:36.599 --> 00:48:39.079
you know, I'm going back to
a filling policy procedure. You've got you've

567
00:48:39.079 --> 00:48:42.039
got to do, You've got to
find you've got to do your job.

568
00:48:42.079 --> 00:48:45.079
You took an oath and you've got
to you've got to uh do your job

569
00:48:45.119 --> 00:48:49.239
as you swarmed to swim, do
to carry out and do your duties.

570
00:48:50.159 --> 00:48:53.280
But I hear you there. But
um, you know, if people feel

571
00:48:53.360 --> 00:48:58.119
that you guys are going along and
I'm not picking just on your department,

572
00:48:58.119 --> 00:49:04.079
but law enforcement are going along with
Um. You know something that didn't go

573
00:49:04.159 --> 00:49:07.360
through the way in which laws are
made. Just somebody thought it up one

574
00:49:07.440 --> 00:49:10.719
day and now it's the law because
the governor said so, and some of

575
00:49:10.760 --> 00:49:15.280
his stuff was struck down. If
if people see you as quote, just

576
00:49:15.400 --> 00:49:20.840
doing your job, and they disagree
with it, it's strange trust you would

577
00:49:20.840 --> 00:49:25.039
agree, right I do? And
I mean and they're they're laws. Look,

578
00:49:25.039 --> 00:49:29.280
they're laws out there on the books
right now that you know we enforce

579
00:49:29.480 --> 00:49:32.800
that. Not everybody, not everybody
agrees with or or or they want to

580
00:49:32.880 --> 00:49:36.880
change and and and you know I
always say this, if there's if there's

581
00:49:36.880 --> 00:49:40.800
a law out there that that's currently
in effect in North Carolina and you don't

582
00:49:40.800 --> 00:49:45.360
agree with it, do something about
it. I change it. Uh.

583
00:49:45.679 --> 00:49:49.519
But uh, but you know,
you're going to have some people that don't

584
00:49:49.519 --> 00:49:52.000
agree with with the laws. I
mean anyway, pre COVID, You're gonna

585
00:49:52.000 --> 00:49:55.599
have some people that they're they're supported
to some people that don't agree with the

586
00:49:55.639 --> 00:50:00.119
laws. And uh, and you're
going to have that, Well, I

587
00:50:01.119 --> 00:50:05.320
don't disagree with you there. And
then you have people up the food chain

588
00:50:05.400 --> 00:50:07.880
out you know, like prosecutors and
whatnot, picking and choose. If everybody's

589
00:50:07.920 --> 00:50:12.360
picking and choosing from the public on
up, we're doomed. Sam Page,

590
00:50:12.719 --> 00:50:15.360

00:50:52.039 --> 00:50:54.960
couple of things I didn't get to
yesterday. We're gonna we're gonna fire into

599
00:50:55.000 --> 00:51:04.039
these stories again. I have no
idea what's up at school where we have

600
00:51:04.079 --> 00:51:07.679
another assignment where everyone involved should have
been like, that's a horrible idea,

601
00:51:07.800 --> 00:51:13.000
and yet they did it anyway.
So that and much more coming your way

602
00:51:13.119 --> 00:51:16.199
eight eight, eight, nine three
four seven eight seven four back in just

603
00:51:16.400 --> 00:51:23.039
a few in a decade on the
calendar and celebrating ten years on the air.

604
00:51:23.400 --> 00:51:28.119
This is one oh six one FM
Talk in the Triangle and there's Talk

605
00:51:28.239 --> 00:51:34.280
ninety four five UTTI in the Tryad. Oh no, well, I thought

606
00:51:34.280 --> 00:51:37.559
we're gonna get a whole show and
without having to go to the well on

607
00:51:37.320 --> 00:51:45.519
the state of Florida. But you
guys never disappoint down there. Here will

608
00:51:45.599 --> 00:51:52.480
go Florida, then Florida. Then
something in the water, the air or

609
00:51:52.519 --> 00:51:55.119
sand that makes you do all that
crazy crap. It's like the state is

610
00:51:55.119 --> 00:52:01.199
one being done ass trap. Nowhere
else has the Florida man. It is

611
00:52:01.320 --> 00:52:07.519
almost life as the weird Factor climbs, and you'll find out it hapn't in

612
00:52:07.639 --> 00:52:14.360
Florida every time. Florida man,
Florida man. If anyone can cheer me,

613
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:16.000
if you know, you can,
just mind life be crazy. But

614
00:52:16.199 --> 00:52:21.679
of course, but it's not as
bad craft crazy as yours. Nowhere else

615
00:52:21.800 --> 00:52:24.239
are you gonna find him. They're
so used to it, they don't find

616
00:52:24.440 --> 00:52:32.679
him. Hooray for Florida on that
Uh yes, very beach, Florida.

617
00:52:34.280 --> 00:52:37.199
Yip yip yep uh. And this
is uh, this is one of the

618
00:52:37.239 --> 00:52:44.440
more interesting excuses for the behavior I'm
about to share with you. Um Jason

619
00:52:44.639 --> 00:52:49.880
Roach is dude's name. Now.
Officers received a nine one one call.

620
00:52:51.360 --> 00:52:57.199
They received several nine one one calls
actually throughout the overnight on Sunday into Monday,

621
00:52:58.320 --> 00:53:01.280
UM, advising that there was a
naked man on the side of the

622
00:53:01.360 --> 00:53:10.880
road screaming at a woman. So
he's naked, so they show up.

623
00:53:12.000 --> 00:53:20.280
Well, now he's inside of a
speedway gas station convenience store and they witness

624
00:53:20.480 --> 00:53:27.719
him not just you know, jut
not just being naked, but actually apparently

625
00:53:27.719 --> 00:53:30.519
the woman is not involved. Now
that he has no woman, he has

626
00:53:30.559 --> 00:53:40.199
to handle business on his own.
I believe that that is you'll understand.

627
00:53:40.239 --> 00:53:50.440
You understand what I'm referencing, and
please According to the report here actually had

628
00:53:50.440 --> 00:53:54.000
received two other calls prior to this, and this is at six am,

629
00:53:54.960 --> 00:53:59.639
So this is you know, bright
and early folks on their way to church

630
00:53:59.679 --> 00:54:04.079
and stuff or no, you have
a Saturday into Sunday, so getting some

631
00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:09.400
breakfast to doing whatever they're doing on
Sunday morning, and he's doing all that

632
00:54:10.159 --> 00:54:15.920
with no clothes on. However,
overnight they figured out that he was the

633
00:54:15.960 --> 00:54:22.719
same guy they were looking for because
apparently he had done it at an Arby's

634
00:54:24.159 --> 00:54:30.800
several hours before, and what was
the other one at a wah wah.

635
00:54:30.360 --> 00:54:37.079
He's a busy dude, so apparently
overnight he first went to an Arby's,

636
00:54:37.159 --> 00:54:42.639
got naked and started doing that in
front of everybody. The reason that they

637
00:54:42.679 --> 00:54:45.840
didn't get him is basically, when
they called police, he fled. Then

638
00:54:45.880 --> 00:54:52.000
he went to a wahwah shortly thereafter
and they did not enjoy his performance either.

639
00:54:52.480 --> 00:54:58.199
They called police. He fled.
However, because he was witnessed getting

640
00:54:58.280 --> 00:55:02.000
into the argument with the woman being
naked on the side of the road,

641
00:55:02.440 --> 00:55:07.320
police were able to intercept him.
When asked why he was at six in

642
00:55:07.360 --> 00:55:12.960
the morning, standing in a speedway
with no clothes on doing that. He

643
00:55:13.320 --> 00:55:22.480
told the officers he was it was
a medical emergency because he had severe pain

644
00:55:22.639 --> 00:55:29.840
in his wrectum and thought that by
doing the other thing it would distract from

645
00:55:29.840 --> 00:55:32.960
the pain and help relieve whatever the
issue was. He doesn't he does not

646
00:55:34.079 --> 00:55:40.199
specify in the report what the issue
was. I'm not a doctor, are

647
00:55:40.239 --> 00:55:44.159
you very clear here? Not a
ross. You're not a doctor either,

648
00:55:44.360 --> 00:55:47.159
right, not a doctor? Let
me check? No, no, no,

649
00:55:47.199 --> 00:55:51.880
you're not an okay, so ross, not a doctor. I don't

650
00:55:51.920 --> 00:55:54.960
know that. That is that one
of those home cures doctors don't want you

651
00:55:55.000 --> 00:55:59.559
to know about. On the infomercial. Remember that book that guy used to

652
00:55:59.559 --> 00:56:04.880
hawk. I remember that guy too, that guy he had a history.

653
00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:07.119
Yeah, yeah he did. I
went to prison a few times. Oh

654
00:56:07.320 --> 00:56:10.360
you know, hey, man,
that's to say that's a mega memory guy,

655
00:56:10.480 --> 00:56:17.199
right, that's a mega memory guy. So um, yeah, yeah,

656
00:56:17.280 --> 00:56:22.400
I don't. I don't know that
severe rectal pain or and then you

657
00:56:22.440 --> 00:56:27.079
can just I mean, I understand
the idea of distracting, Like if your

658
00:56:27.159 --> 00:56:30.280
kid is in pain, not necessarily
there, but if they're you know,

659
00:56:30.320 --> 00:56:32.079
they bang their knee or something.
They're crying, you may try to distract

660
00:56:32.159 --> 00:56:38.119
them. I understand that. I
don't understand. The other thing that he

661
00:56:38.320 --> 00:56:43.400
surmised was and why would you have
to go to an Arby's first and then

662
00:56:43.400 --> 00:56:47.840
ahah wah and then a speedway?
Are you just is did you think,

663
00:56:47.880 --> 00:56:53.519
well, you know what, maybe
it requires a certain ambiance and environment or

664
00:56:53.599 --> 00:56:59.320
were you just hammered in that or
on drugs and those were what was open.

665
00:56:59.599 --> 00:57:06.480
I I don't know the answer to
that, but any who dudes under

666
00:57:06.559 --> 00:57:10.719
arrest, So please, if you
do go to Florida, don't get take

667
00:57:10.719 --> 00:57:15.079
all your clothes off and go to
the Arby's and then the gas stations,

668
00:57:15.360 --> 00:57:20.559
especially on a Sunday morning. People
are just trying to live their lives and

669
00:57:21.199 --> 00:57:24.400
you're you're insane, sir. All
right, speaking of insane, I got

670
00:57:24.400 --> 00:57:29.079
to share this with you. We
had a story, what was it a

671
00:57:29.119 --> 00:57:35.639
few weeks ago where a California was
I think there was middle school as well.

672
00:57:37.000 --> 00:57:40.880
Basically, the assignment was and it
was part of sex d The assignment

673
00:57:42.039 --> 00:57:50.559
was to tell the students to write
a fantasy and include the initials of somebody

674
00:57:50.880 --> 00:57:54.079
they would like to do the fantasy
with. And I mean, you are

675
00:57:54.079 --> 00:57:58.880
you talking like other classmates and stuff. It was so it was super creepy.

676
00:57:58.920 --> 00:58:01.159
And why they thought that was a
good idea, I don't know.

677
00:58:04.599 --> 00:58:07.239
But it's not a one off people. So what do we have there?

678
00:58:07.679 --> 00:58:15.360
Now we have another middle school and
in this case, they came up with

679
00:58:15.400 --> 00:58:21.960
a little little thing to do,
all right, So, um, the

680
00:58:22.199 --> 00:58:25.400
principle of the school didn't think it
was a bad idea. What I'm about

681
00:58:25.440 --> 00:58:34.280
to tell you the licking game,
all right. So basically, they set

682
00:58:34.360 --> 00:58:42.039
up plexiglass in the gym for students
and staff so they could lick each other.

683
00:58:44.559 --> 00:58:51.000
It is like a little like like
the tables the bills, the drunk

684
00:58:51.039 --> 00:58:55.000
bills. Fans would jump on those
folding tables, a plexiglass square like you

685
00:58:55.000 --> 00:59:00.960
would see at a gas station during
COVID and then students and teachers on either

686
00:59:00.000 --> 00:59:07.039
side making out, but the plexiglasses
between it. It's about the weirdest crap

687
00:59:07.079 --> 00:59:12.840
I've ever seen. And this is
what the principal thought would be a good

688
00:59:12.880 --> 00:59:22.159
I don't know, icebreaker, getting
to know you thing. Whatever. I

689
00:59:22.159 --> 00:59:37.360
mean, they're having a good time
how and I don't even I don't understand

690
00:59:37.400 --> 00:59:43.079
how you get there. I don't
understand how you sit there and say it

691
00:59:43.119 --> 00:59:45.920
out loud, because the amount of
prep that was necessary required you to get

692
00:59:45.960 --> 00:59:52.280
tables to construct these plexiglass little things
because it looks like they were made in

693
00:59:52.320 --> 00:59:58.719
wood shop or something. And then
to organize a licking a sexualized game between

694
00:59:58.760 --> 01:00:02.599
students and staff because they're they're licking
off from the plexiglass right there on different

695
01:00:02.639 --> 01:00:07.159
sides, a teacher and a student
and on east side they're licking off marshmallow

696
01:00:07.199 --> 01:00:15.760
cream. Yes, so it has
an actual an extra component of visual right,

697
01:00:16.880 --> 01:00:22.239
something I think the dude from Arby's
probably would have liked. He probably

698
01:00:22.280 --> 01:00:25.840
would have liked this game. He's
a he's a busy dude. So yeah.

699
01:00:25.920 --> 01:00:31.880
So Desert Hills Middle School, this
is in Kennewick, Washington. Assembly

700
01:00:31.880 --> 01:00:37.760
and fundraiser featured a competition between students
and staff two plexiglass panes stationed in the

701
01:00:37.800 --> 01:00:44.199
middle of the gym, marshmallow cream
rubbed on its. Students and staff then

702
01:00:44.440 --> 01:00:47.800
lick it off the plexiglass. But
they're they're you know, they're licking right

703
01:00:47.840 --> 01:00:55.960
at each other. I can't do
a pie eating contest, right, yeah.

704
01:00:57.119 --> 01:01:00.679
I understand that this is a head
of spring break, you know,

705
01:01:00.800 --> 01:01:05.280
you're gonna have a little it has
some fun and you got a fundraiser component

706
01:01:05.360 --> 01:01:08.719
there. But I don't know,
man, that whole thing is just super

707
01:01:08.760 --> 01:01:13.320
creepy. And for those of you
are going, you know what, you

708
01:01:13.440 --> 01:01:15.400
just because you got a dirty mind. No, no, no, no,

709
01:01:15.480 --> 01:01:17.400
everyone that I was looking at this
video on Twitter, It's like,

710
01:01:17.480 --> 01:01:22.679
holy crap, what are they doing? Man? So there you go ahead

711
01:01:22.800 --> 01:01:28.239
check it out. Would Joe bo
Joe Biden had loved this thing absolutely,

712
01:01:28.280 --> 01:01:31.000
sir? I think I think he'd
probably win two? All right, seven

713
01:01:31.159 --> 01:01:37.280
forty five Rastagic Weather Channel were standing
by. Yeah, yeah, I'm good.

714
01:01:37.079 --> 01:01:42.920
What what what how you doing?
Yeah? Great? Thanks for that.

715
01:01:44.119 --> 01:01:45.880
I try to find the best.
Did you? Did you hear the

716
01:01:45.960 --> 01:01:52.880
Arby's story before that? No,
down Florida who went to an Arby's and

717
01:01:52.920 --> 01:01:54.639
then he went to a wah wah
and then he went to a speedway and

718
01:01:54.679 --> 01:02:00.000
at each place he went in naked
and was having some alone time while not

719
01:02:00.039 --> 01:02:05.920
alone and said that he was doing
it to relieve pain in his rectum.

720
01:02:06.239 --> 01:02:09.599
So oh, okay, yeah,
gotcha. Which is old? It's an

721
01:02:09.679 --> 01:02:17.840
old old uh uh he you know
natural healing, right forgetting the word for

722
01:02:17.920 --> 01:02:21.880
it. But yeah. Yeah,
that's you know, because they big Med

723
01:02:22.000 --> 01:02:24.760
doesn't want you to know about that. No, if you got pain there,

724
01:02:24.960 --> 01:02:28.880
just go to an Arby's, take
your clothes off and put on a

725
01:02:28.920 --> 01:02:31.119
show and you feel better. Yeah, so I guess that's how it goes.

726
01:02:31.199 --> 01:02:34.920
Well, you know what, sometimes
they say, Casey, that sunshine

727
01:02:34.920 --> 01:02:37.840
makes you feel good. So yeah, well it was it was nighttime.

728
01:02:37.960 --> 01:02:42.880
So yeah, well, oh I
got you a little Walter White huh.

729
01:02:43.079 --> 01:02:45.960
Anyway, he's uh he he's in
jail, so he may have some bigger

730
01:02:45.960 --> 01:02:52.880
issues with his uh pre you know, pre existing condition, you know,

731
01:02:52.639 --> 01:02:58.320
stockin Yeah, yeah, let's make
that trans what's up. Yeah, I

732
01:02:58.360 --> 01:03:01.800
mean it's great. Rest of the
week beautiful. And if I said while

733
01:03:01.800 --> 01:03:07.079
I'm going to say six out of
the next seven days are sunny, I

734
01:03:07.119 --> 01:03:09.320
think most people will be like,
you know what, that's not too bad

735
01:03:09.400 --> 01:03:13.199
of a forecast. Good chance.
One of the days of the weekend will

736
01:03:13.239 --> 01:03:15.559
be a little wet. It looks
like Saturday, and then some cooler weather

737
01:03:15.599 --> 01:03:19.519
coming in after a nice warm up. So Wednesday, Thursday, Friday,

738
01:03:19.519 --> 01:03:22.239
Today, Tomorrow, Friday, plenty
of sunshine around during the daytime hours will

739
01:03:22.239 --> 01:03:25.360
be in the low to mid eighties. Triangle may try to push the upper

740
01:03:25.360 --> 01:03:28.960
eighties tomorrow, but you get the
message. Plenty of sun, plenty of

741
01:03:29.039 --> 01:03:30.800
dry weather. Overnight lows of be
in the fifties, maybe bump up to

742
01:03:30.920 --> 01:03:36.119
near sixty by Friday night, and
then the front comes in on Saturday with

743
01:03:36.159 --> 01:03:38.360
a few showers and thunderstorms in the
afternoon, so there might be a window.

744
01:03:38.360 --> 01:03:42.760
Early highs will be in the mid
to upper seventies, and then sunshine

745
01:03:42.760 --> 01:03:45.800
returns behind the front. On Sunday, we'll be back into the upper sixties,

746
01:03:45.800 --> 01:03:49.280
a little below average, and then
mid sixties. Monday lows maybe into

747
01:03:49.280 --> 01:03:52.199
the upper thirties and low forties for
Monday morning. Into the west into the

748
01:03:52.239 --> 01:03:55.639
mountains, there may be some near
freezing temperatures, maybe a little bit of

749
01:03:55.679 --> 01:04:00.480
frostbacks, so still not quite out
of that time of year or where we

750
01:04:00.519 --> 01:04:02.880
can get frost. I think the
end of the month or early May is

751
01:04:02.920 --> 01:04:06.800
the latest last frost or at least
the average date, so especially in the

752
01:04:06.800 --> 01:04:10.679
mountains, make it a little chillier
towards the early part of next week.

753
01:04:10.679 --> 01:04:14.119
We're really good over the next six
out of seven days, Okay, And

754
01:04:14.239 --> 01:04:16.280
I was just thinking too, like
when you're when you're trying to hunt up

755
01:04:16.320 --> 01:04:23.960
a post bar fast food joint to
put on the naked show. Is Army's

756
01:04:24.039 --> 01:04:28.719
really going to have the best crowd? I feel like Taco Bell, you

757
01:04:28.760 --> 01:04:30.960
know what I'm saying. Wafful House. I mean, not that that's a

758
01:04:30.119 --> 01:04:35.239
house. Yeah, probably maybe not
even get arrested a waffle house and just

759
01:04:35.280 --> 01:04:40.079
be like waffle House. These things
happen, so yeah, anything, all

760
01:04:40.159 --> 01:04:43.639
right, all right, all right, well we'll keep working on it.

761
01:04:43.719 --> 01:04:45.519
Talk to in an hour, Thank
you, sir. Okay, all right,

762
01:04:45.559 --> 01:04:48.679
there you go. Race Agic from
the Weather Channel coming up. Lieutenant

763
01:04:48.719 --> 01:04:55.639
Governor joins US eight oh five.
Also, what the hell? Why is

764
01:04:55.719 --> 01:05:00.760
there four or six hundred shopping carts
in a homeless encampment. We're just now

765
01:05:00.920 --> 01:05:04.360
figuring this out that, um,
where were they? Because I would assume

766
01:05:04.400 --> 01:05:09.480
you'd be able to see him driving
by where this story takes place. But

767
01:05:09.760 --> 01:05:16.840
we'll let you be the judge.
We'll do it next. Hang on ten

768
01:05:17.000 --> 01:05:23.559
years of news twice an hour and
smart talk all day, four five WPTI

769
01:05:23.880 --> 01:05:30.400
in the Triad and one oh six
one FM talk in the Triangle. All

770
01:05:30.480 --> 01:05:33.480
right, so somebody's going to help
me out. I don't know how this

771
01:05:33.719 --> 01:05:42.960
goes unnoticed to the point where it
eventually got to got as bad as it

772
01:05:43.119 --> 01:05:45.159
got. So, um, there's
a story from earlier in the week,

773
01:05:45.280 --> 01:05:48.320
but I have to talk about it
even though I've failed to get to it.

774
01:05:48.400 --> 01:05:54.639
On Monday, m basically, the
North Carolina Department of Transportation said that

775
01:05:54.760 --> 01:06:05.079
they started a process to clean up
a homeless encampment right of some four hundred

776
01:06:05.440 --> 01:06:12.400
or more. There's there's varying numbers
depending on what you look at. Four

777
01:06:12.519 --> 01:06:16.960
hundred shopping carts. And this is
right at five forty and Capitol Boulevard,

778
01:06:17.079 --> 01:06:23.079
which is obviously there's like what a
billion people on that road every day.

779
01:06:23.159 --> 01:06:27.039
It's just horrible to have to drive
at rush hour. And I'm just like,

780
01:06:27.280 --> 01:06:30.920
so, you're telling me in the
bushes over there there was four hundred

781
01:06:30.039 --> 01:06:32.679
shopping carts. I mean, I
understand where they're getting them from. You

782
01:06:32.800 --> 01:06:38.079
got you know, you got all
the shopping centers right there. But four

783
01:06:38.920 --> 01:06:43.800
I've driven pat I've never noticed a
shopping cart. I have noticed panhandlers,

784
01:06:43.840 --> 01:06:45.679
but I have not noticed a shopping
cart. And you're saying there's four hundred.

785
01:06:46.639 --> 01:06:53.880
You can see four hundred from space, right, How how is there

786
01:06:53.960 --> 01:06:58.679
for where they where do they get
them from? I mean the total amount.

787
01:06:58.840 --> 01:07:00.800
I understand the location where they may
steal them, But you're telling me

788
01:07:00.920 --> 01:07:06.159
one of those stores, or the
BJ's over there, or is it a

789
01:07:06.280 --> 01:07:10.440
tart whatever, there's a grocery store
over there, but there's about a target

790
01:07:10.559 --> 01:07:15.400
or something. You're telling me that
at no point did somebody go we're missing

791
01:07:15.559 --> 01:07:19.760
four hundred shopping carts and then they
have to do a major clean up ross.

792
01:07:19.840 --> 01:07:23.639
I know you don't always drive that
way. You tend to go around.

793
01:07:24.079 --> 01:07:30.320
Have you ever noticed four hundred shopping
carts on your way to avoid Capital

794
01:07:30.400 --> 01:07:34.639
Boulevard like the Black Death. I
haven't driven down it probably in years.

795
01:07:34.679 --> 01:07:36.920
I go around it every single chance
I can get, even when we go

796
01:07:38.039 --> 01:07:41.000
downtown to the museum, I'm going
to avoid it. So I'm probably not

797
01:07:41.079 --> 01:07:45.559
the best to talk about it.
But I would think if four hundred shopping

798
01:07:45.639 --> 01:07:50.239
carts and you know that they're not
neatly, you know, inserted into each

799
01:07:50.280 --> 01:07:55.480
other in an orderly manner like they
would be at a store right right,

800
01:07:56.079 --> 01:07:59.840
I'm just you know, they're probably
loaded with crap. It looks like six

801
01:08:00.119 --> 01:08:06.119
hundred cubic yards of debris, biohazard
risks, including drug devices, needles,

802
01:08:06.320 --> 01:08:13.239
and waste. I'll let you guess
what that is and thus far, let's

803
01:08:13.239 --> 01:08:21.399
see the cleanup cost about ninety thousand
dollars. Alan Cantera is quoting this article.

804
01:08:21.520 --> 01:08:26.920
Manager in a nearby business said they
and other businesses have had shopping carts

805
01:08:27.000 --> 01:08:30.279
taken and they're not cheap. I
imagine not. I just you know,

806
01:08:30.680 --> 01:08:34.439
if you lose one, I think
you'd be on it. There's four hundred

807
01:08:34.640 --> 01:08:39.319
carts they retrieved, and you don't
want them back if they're having a white

808
01:08:39.439 --> 01:08:47.279
biohazard off of them. Let's see
here. Yeah, they don't get into

809
01:08:47.319 --> 01:08:51.399
more specifics, but I'll let your
imagination do the work of guess. And

810
01:08:51.520 --> 01:08:58.119
what may have been in there?
Is there that big of I guess if

811
01:08:58.159 --> 01:09:01.119
you go off to the right as
you're headed north, there's a bigger wooded

812
01:09:01.159 --> 01:09:06.920
area, but they chopped a bunch
of that down. So yeah, I

813
01:09:08.000 --> 01:09:10.920
don't know. I do know that
they have an issue in South Raleigh too,

814
01:09:11.119 --> 01:09:15.760
and it's interesting they have. They
have an issue over off went Over

815
01:09:15.880 --> 01:09:20.319
two on the Triad side of things, those those that little area there.

816
01:09:20.319 --> 01:09:26.439
I think police were doing something about
it last fall, but they're doing all

817
01:09:26.479 --> 01:09:29.680
the crackdown, man. But yeah, if you're bissing a shopping cart,

818
01:09:30.199 --> 01:09:34.600
chances are Samhobo on five forty in
Capitol had it and you probably don't want

819
01:09:34.600 --> 01:09:41.399
it back. All right, So
coming up we have the Lieutenant Governor.

820
01:09:41.600 --> 01:09:45.479
We got lots to get to.
I want to talk about the the body

821
01:09:45.520 --> 01:09:49.079
camp footage for sure, but a
couple of bills being entered and voted on

822
01:09:49.359 --> 01:09:53.680
right now that are right up his
alley will get the very latest coming up

823
01:09:53.800 --> 01:10:40.119
Acoda Radio program. Hanging all right, good morning, everybody, hand happy

824
01:10:40.279 --> 01:10:44.439
Wednesday. Welcome to it. It
is the Casey O Day Radio Program now

825
01:10:44.560 --> 01:10:50.399
with thirty percent less volume on my
voice, so bear with me. But

826
01:10:51.000 --> 01:10:57.600
to help me fill the time,
it is our opportunity to chat with Lieutenant

827
01:10:57.640 --> 01:11:00.920
Governor Mark Robinson, who joins us. Mark, how are you doing today,

828
01:11:00.000 --> 01:11:03.600
sir? Hello, Kayseye, how
are you doing? I'm good man.

829
01:11:03.680 --> 01:11:06.840
I got a whole bucket list of
stuff I want to chat with you

830
01:11:06.920 --> 01:11:11.439
about. So we're gonna we're gonna
fire right into it, and I'm gonna

831
01:11:11.479 --> 01:11:15.039
start with um, you uh you
got you got a little thing coming up

832
01:11:15.119 --> 01:11:20.359
this weekend over it. Ace Speedway
made famous well obviously by people who went

833
01:11:20.479 --> 01:11:26.560
there. But for folks who didn't
know about a speedway early in the COVID

834
01:11:26.680 --> 01:11:30.720
insanity is they just wanted to race
cars and the governor just wanted to make

835
01:11:30.760 --> 01:11:32.680
an example out of them. So
talk about what you got going on this

836
01:11:32.800 --> 01:11:36.960
weekend. Well, we've got a
rally and a major announcement coming up,

837
01:11:38.119 --> 01:11:41.079
and we want everybody to come out. It's gonna be about four o'clock.

838
01:11:41.079 --> 01:11:45.720
It's gonna be held rainall shine,
and we want everybody there, and it's

839
01:11:45.760 --> 01:11:47.359
gonna be a gonna be old like
they say, it's gonna be a rip

840
01:11:47.479 --> 01:11:54.039
roaring good time. Okay, all
right, And the ACE Speedway, like

841
01:11:54.159 --> 01:11:56.920
I said, one of the examples. We got a story going on right

842
01:11:57.000 --> 01:12:04.800
now where a group of protesters called
Reopen Reopen NC decided they wanted to have

843
01:12:04.960 --> 01:12:09.960
their voices heard about the time we
got to the end of those two weeks

844
01:12:10.039 --> 01:12:13.279
to slow the spread, and it
didn't look like the governor or anyone else

845
01:12:13.439 --> 01:12:18.840
was gonna take restrictions away. So
they went and they decided to stage the

846
01:12:19.039 --> 01:12:28.880
first of several protests at the state
capitol as people do, and Raleigh PD

847
01:12:29.079 --> 01:12:32.920
and Capitol Police they went in and
busted it up. They ended up arresting

848
01:12:33.000 --> 01:12:39.359
one of the organizers. Her name
is Monica Usery, and she literally languished

849
01:12:39.399 --> 01:12:43.319
in court over the arrest for a
couple of years. Wasn't cheap, and

850
01:12:44.039 --> 01:12:46.840
eventually they dismissed it. Well,
now it's back in the news because some

851
01:12:46.960 --> 01:12:53.359
body camp footage of Raleigh PD basically
standing around explaining to officers, you know,

852
01:12:53.560 --> 01:12:58.479
like a pregame meeting was out.
And in the video the police are

853
01:12:58.720 --> 01:13:01.399
not social distance, not wearing masks, and they literally say, well,

854
01:13:01.439 --> 01:13:05.399
we got to put this stuff on
so it looks okay when we get there.

855
01:13:06.079 --> 01:13:11.119
And some folks are noticing a bit
of a double standard with the way

856
01:13:11.199 --> 01:13:16.000
that they handled stuff when you consider
later protests when they burned my cvs,

857
01:13:16.079 --> 01:13:21.840
I like to go to down,
so obviously this is you go into a

858
01:13:23.039 --> 01:13:30.359
speedway. I'm assuming is that's not
a coincidence. So when you see stuff

859
01:13:30.399 --> 01:13:32.399
like this, you see the double
standard, and now you see things that

860
01:13:32.640 --> 01:13:39.039
might further a road the public's trust
in law enforcement at the very least those

861
01:13:39.159 --> 01:13:42.520
making the big decisions, you know, to go bust this thing up.

862
01:13:43.920 --> 01:13:49.439
What I'm curious your thoughts and what
could you do as lieutenant governor with your

863
01:13:49.560 --> 01:13:57.119
platform to maybe mend some of these
fences. Well, the first thing we

864
01:13:57.199 --> 01:14:00.520
need to do is we need to
expose it, and we need too the

865
01:14:00.680 --> 01:14:03.119
why, and we need to expose
it in every venue. Now, I

866
01:14:03.239 --> 01:14:09.600
have not seen that video yet.
I'm sure that I'll probably see that here

867
01:14:09.680 --> 01:14:12.399
in short order. It's gonna be
long before I said. But I've been

868
01:14:12.600 --> 01:14:15.760
very busy this past week, a
number of things that I've had to do.

869
01:14:16.479 --> 01:14:19.119
But I can't tell you about another
case right here in the town that

870
01:14:19.159 --> 01:14:24.560
I live in. Cases where during
COVID, of course, the liquor store

871
01:14:24.680 --> 01:14:28.800
was opened and quite crowded, and
Walmart was opened and quite crowded, and

872
01:14:28.960 --> 01:14:32.880
Lows and all those big box stores, and the abortion clinic was open.

873
01:14:33.600 --> 01:14:38.800
Now the churches had been shut down
and people were not allowed to go into

874
01:14:38.840 --> 01:14:42.760
the churches, and the schools had
been shut down, and small businesses have

875
01:14:42.880 --> 01:14:45.760
been shut down. Well, there
was a group of young men and women

876
01:14:45.800 --> 01:14:53.359
who decided that they were going to
continue with their every Britpore day ritual to

877
01:14:53.560 --> 01:14:58.880
go and pray it from the abortion
clinic. They masked, they were six

878
01:14:58.960 --> 01:15:03.560
feet apart. They were simply in
front of the abortion clinic. Social distancing

879
01:15:03.800 --> 01:15:11.680
outside in masks, and they were
prayed and they were arrested. They were

880
01:15:11.760 --> 01:15:16.800
arrested. It was the ultimate example
of hypocrisy during that era to me,

881
01:15:17.520 --> 01:15:24.319
because they violated absolutely, they didn't. They weren't violating any of the so

882
01:15:24.520 --> 01:15:31.119
called edicts that had been set down
by the all powerful and almighty government Casey.

883
01:15:31.239 --> 01:15:35.039
All of these examples. We need
to continue to expose all these examples.

884
01:15:35.359 --> 01:15:39.279
We need to show them to the
public. We need to explain to

885
01:15:39.399 --> 01:15:44.199
those who don't understand why they are
so dangerous to our republic. And then

886
01:15:44.800 --> 01:15:47.000
we need to set ourselves on the
course in North Carolina so that we come

887
01:15:47.079 --> 01:15:53.199
up with a comprehensive plan to ensure
that this does not happen again. Because

888
01:15:53.279 --> 01:15:57.680
what's happening in Casey is, as
we see at the federal level, we

889
01:15:57.760 --> 01:16:02.479
are weaponizing now law enforcement again political
enemies and weaponize in law enforcement base not

890
01:16:02.640 --> 01:16:06.000
on law, but on agenda.
And we can't let that happen. That

891
01:16:06.239 --> 01:16:11.359
is absolutely dangerous. We see on
every level we've got stopped that. We've

892
01:16:11.359 --> 01:16:14.520
got to make sure in North Carolina's
free of that kind of garbage. And

893
01:16:15.119 --> 01:16:18.239
when you say every level, you're
you're spot on because there was a gag

894
01:16:18.439 --> 01:16:25.680
order which I which I apparently stayed
in effect. They they think she released

895
01:16:25.760 --> 01:16:30.159
this video. She says she didn't. And so for the folks at the

896
01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:35.239
DA's office have already filed to have
her answer for contempt of court on Thursday.

897
01:16:35.800 --> 01:16:40.720
They're not done punishing this woman,
you know, and these are the

898
01:16:40.800 --> 01:16:44.359
powers that be. But how you
get a judge to agree to a gag

899
01:16:44.520 --> 01:16:48.479
order for something like that and they
charge her and make her pay for two

900
01:16:48.600 --> 01:16:55.359
years before eventually dropping it. It
pales. It is the complete reversal to

901
01:16:55.560 --> 01:16:58.840
what we saw with William Barber and
his crew that would go and get arrested

902
01:16:58.880 --> 01:17:02.319
at the Capitol a few times,
get all their charges thrown out. How

903
01:17:02.399 --> 01:17:08.239
do we how do we actually root
it out? Because it is incredibly disturbing

904
01:17:08.520 --> 01:17:14.119
to watch play out now multiple times
again. We have to make sure that

905
01:17:14.159 --> 01:17:18.039
we're calling out and we're calling out
on masks. I'm gonna say this,

906
01:17:18.159 --> 01:17:21.479
Casey, and I mean this.
They're far too many on our side that

907
01:17:21.760 --> 01:17:26.479
are afraid of the press, afraid
of the backlash, and they're they're afraid

908
01:17:26.520 --> 01:17:30.520
to push back and they won't speak
up. We've got to start putting people

909
01:17:30.520 --> 01:17:32.520
in office who are gonna fight for
freedom. And if you're gonna fight for

910
01:17:32.640 --> 01:17:36.039
freedom and for the republic, you're
gonna have to make some people uncomfortable,

911
01:17:36.039 --> 01:17:40.079
and you're gonna have to take on
the press, which right now we all

912
01:17:40.199 --> 01:17:43.960
know that the vast majority of the
press leans left, if it's not all

913
01:17:44.039 --> 01:17:47.600
the way left, and it's very
unfair and it does not does not play

914
01:17:47.680 --> 01:17:51.159
fair, and it does not report
fair. And we're playing with folks on

915
01:17:51.279 --> 01:17:57.800
the left hand side and politics who
again are literally casing they may not be

916
01:17:58.039 --> 01:18:01.319
breaking the law, but they're certainly
the spirit of the law. Leaning it

917
01:18:01.439 --> 01:18:05.399
on those who would go out and
write and burn down on the CBS because

918
01:18:05.399 --> 01:18:11.880
that fits their agenda, but hard
on those who've pushed back against those things

919
01:18:11.960 --> 01:18:15.000
that they that they hold dear h, That's not the way it's supposed to

920
01:18:15.079 --> 01:18:17.359
be. That's not the way it
can be in order for us to have

921
01:18:17.520 --> 01:18:23.479
a society, a republic that actually
works. If we continue down this past

922
01:18:23.640 --> 01:18:26.680
casey, we're not going to have
a constitutional republic. We're gonna have a

923
01:18:26.720 --> 01:18:30.479
Banetta republic. Um. There is
some oversight in some of these situations that

924
01:18:30.720 --> 01:18:36.199
the General Assembly does is empowered to
address, or at the very least look

925
01:18:36.279 --> 01:18:40.960
at due to the home rule way
in which we do things in North Carolina.

926
01:18:41.600 --> 01:18:44.960
UM, I know they're busy doing
all sorts of stuff over there,

927
01:18:45.079 --> 01:18:48.000
but UM, I think somebody needs
to put a bug in their ear because

928
01:18:48.079 --> 01:18:51.399
an example needs to be made.
In one of these instances, it probably

929
01:18:51.439 --> 01:18:57.000
should have been surrounding the state auditor. And I just I don't I see

930
01:18:57.039 --> 01:18:59.720
people throwing their hands up, going, well, we're doing other stuff.

931
01:18:59.760 --> 01:19:02.560
But I think this is a really
important issue. Mark it is. It's

932
01:19:02.600 --> 01:19:08.960
a very it's a very important issue, and I think that you're you're right.

933
01:19:09.079 --> 01:19:15.399
It does start with the with the
folks at the highest levels. But

934
01:19:15.560 --> 01:19:16.760
we have to do it right,
and we have to do it in order.

935
01:19:16.840 --> 01:19:23.119
That's why I continue to say,
at some point a food, we

936
01:19:23.279 --> 01:19:27.479
need to sit down at the states
and examine all of the things that happened

937
01:19:28.000 --> 01:19:32.000
during the COVID debacle. We need
to whether it be having hearings, whether

938
01:19:32.079 --> 01:19:36.319
it be forming task force, whatever
it is. Then after we gather all

939
01:19:36.359 --> 01:19:42.600
that information and find out where the
breakdowns worth, where the absolute violations of

940
01:19:42.680 --> 01:19:46.399
our constitution occurred, then we need
to make sure that we move moving forward.

941
01:19:46.439 --> 01:19:50.680
It does not happen again, and
if necessary, punishing those who did

942
01:19:50.760 --> 01:19:55.479
break the law. If you,
I know you haven't announced whether you're running

943
01:19:55.520 --> 01:19:59.079
for governor, but let's just say
hypothetically you decide too, and then you

944
01:19:59.159 --> 01:20:03.239
get elected, would you commit to
putting that task for us together? Oh?

945
01:20:03.319 --> 01:20:08.039
Absolutely absolutely. You best believe that
that's going to be one of the

946
01:20:08.119 --> 01:20:12.840
things where we're going to encourage of
the General Assembly to do. It's going

947
01:20:12.880 --> 01:20:15.279
to be one of the things we're
going to do on our own. We

948
01:20:15.479 --> 01:20:19.520
want to ensure that in North Carolina
again, the violations of our constitution that

949
01:20:19.640 --> 01:20:28.399
happened, the quasi weaponizing of law
enforcement, those things cannot happen in this

950
01:20:28.600 --> 01:20:31.039
state. And like I said,
we need to have people in place that

951
01:20:31.199 --> 01:20:34.760
can, like Barney Fife used to
say, that can nip it in the

952
01:20:34.880 --> 01:20:39.720
bud from the very beginning to ensure
that those types of things don't happen in

953
01:20:39.800 --> 01:20:42.920
North Carolina. We want folks in
North Carolina to be free. Sure,

954
01:20:43.119 --> 01:20:45.920
we want you to be able to
go out and protest peacefully, but at

955
01:20:46.000 --> 01:20:50.960
the same time, those who don't
protest peacefully need to have their feet held

956
01:20:51.000 --> 01:20:55.560
to the fire, no matter what
side their own and those who are protesting

957
01:20:55.640 --> 01:20:59.319
peacefully need to be treated fairly,
no matter what side their own. That's

958
01:20:59.359 --> 01:21:01.159
what we need to sure and I
think the way we do that is by

959
01:21:01.199 --> 01:21:05.840
having the white people in place at
the top to demand did that happen?

960
01:21:06.680 --> 01:21:11.880
Well, um, you know,
maybe now that the the the makeup of

961
01:21:12.039 --> 01:21:15.800
the veto proof majority has changed,
they could at the very least change the

962
01:21:15.319 --> 01:21:20.399
emergency powers, which obviously were abused. But let me let me hunt a

963
01:21:20.439 --> 01:21:26.479
couple other things. Uh So,
the Senate Education Committee advanced the Fairness in

964
01:21:26.600 --> 01:21:30.800
Women's Sports Act. As you can
imagine, many in the media are not

965
01:21:31.000 --> 01:21:36.439
pleased about that. North Carolina would
be among twenty other states that are cobbling

966
01:21:36.880 --> 01:21:43.399
something like this together. How pressing
is this issue? And what do you

967
01:21:43.520 --> 01:21:47.640
say to the organizations who will push
back, like the bodies the you know,

968
01:21:47.760 --> 01:21:54.199
the the state high school and then
the national accreditation bodies who are telling

969
01:21:54.560 --> 01:21:57.159
these, uh, the states,
if you do this, we won't we

970
01:21:57.239 --> 01:22:03.600
won't give you accreditation and trying to
let their power. Are you talking about

971
01:22:03.600 --> 01:22:08.560
on the state level, I'm talking
about I'm talking about that there are there

972
01:22:08.600 --> 01:22:13.039
are multiple organizations when these discussions that
have come up and said if you guys

973
01:22:13.159 --> 01:22:15.640
do this, it doesn't abide by
what we think should be done. So

974
01:22:16.239 --> 01:22:19.920
we're not going to accredit some of
the stuff that you're doing. These are

975
01:22:19.920 --> 01:22:25.239
the threats that they make, and
generally Republicans have folded on this stuff in

976
01:22:25.279 --> 01:22:30.279
the past, including the South Dakota
governor. So talk to me about what's

977
01:22:30.319 --> 01:22:32.119
going on here. I can.
I can go ahead and tell you like

978
01:22:32.239 --> 01:22:35.000
this Casey. For me, it's
not a matter of folder. You know.

979
01:22:35.359 --> 01:22:40.479
I can't believe we're even having this
conversation. I can't believe it now.

980
01:22:40.600 --> 01:22:43.960
I have fealthy have to tell you. I've predicted this a number of

981
01:22:44.079 --> 01:22:47.960
years ago, but I can't even
believe my own prediction that in the United

982
01:22:47.960 --> 01:22:53.840
States of America, we're squandering our
freedom arguing about whether or not there's more

983
01:22:53.880 --> 01:22:57.279
than two genders, or about whether
or not boys should be able to play

984
01:22:57.319 --> 01:23:01.680
on the girls team. It's ridiculous. It is a ridiculous notion, and

985
01:23:01.760 --> 01:23:06.720
it's pound for some adults to get
some gut and some brains and stand up

986
01:23:06.720 --> 01:23:11.279
and fight back. Period. You
don't want to give us our credit dations

987
01:23:11.319 --> 01:23:14.760
because of that, then we're gonna
have to find either wait through you or

988
01:23:14.840 --> 01:23:17.640
over you. That's the bottom line. This is not a fight that we

989
01:23:17.720 --> 01:23:21.880
should be willing to give up because
I guarantee Casey ninety nine to send the

990
01:23:21.920 --> 01:23:26.439
people in the state agree with us, they agree with us. I have

991
01:23:26.560 --> 01:23:30.319
not met one same person who goes
along with this agenda, not one same

992
01:23:30.439 --> 01:23:35.439
person that goes along with this agenda. It is ridiculous again that we're even

993
01:23:35.560 --> 01:23:40.359
having the conversation. And it's not
something that I am willing to relent on,

994
01:23:40.720 --> 01:23:44.319
and I'm certainly I certainly hope it's
something my colleagues are not willing to

995
01:23:44.399 --> 01:23:47.439
relent on. Because in all this
foolishness, Casey, that's what people are

996
01:23:47.520 --> 01:23:51.720
waiting on. People are waiting on
someone to stand up, that one person,

997
01:23:51.840 --> 01:23:55.720
like the little kid in the Story
of the Emperors New Clothes, to

998
01:23:55.880 --> 01:23:58.600
stand up and say, hey,
wait a minute, that's not how this

999
01:23:59.000 --> 01:24:02.479
is. This is not the truth, this is not right. People have

1000
01:24:02.600 --> 01:24:05.760
gotten to start standing on what's right. And if there was every issue we

1001
01:24:05.840 --> 01:24:09.760
will right off, it's this one. If we fold on this one,

1002
01:24:09.840 --> 01:24:14.640
we might as well pack it up
and go home. The bills of the

1003
01:24:14.760 --> 01:24:18.039
bills, because there's a House version
and a Senate version would require athletes to

1004
01:24:18.119 --> 01:24:25.720
play on teams matching their sex as
marked on their birth certificate. There is

1005
01:24:25.960 --> 01:24:29.680
there, I mean, and there's
no enforcement mechanism in it. And I

1006
01:24:29.760 --> 01:24:33.079
remember with the Statue of Removal law
that the Republicans passed, it really didn't

1007
01:24:33.119 --> 01:24:39.039
have an enforcement mechanism or penalties for
violating it, so people just abused it.

1008
01:24:39.520 --> 01:24:44.239
Some states where a student may move
from allows them to change their official

1009
01:24:44.359 --> 01:24:49.039
birth certificate. Do you think that
the language as you understand it will will

1010
01:24:49.600 --> 01:24:54.840
have the desired result? Well,
you know, say, when it comes

1011
01:24:54.880 --> 01:24:59.720
to language, and when it comes
to bill statue, the wording of bill

1012
01:24:59.760 --> 01:25:03.000
st at you. There's all types
of fancy footwork that folks can do when

1013
01:25:03.039 --> 01:25:06.119
they get into the courtroom to get
around it. So that's gonna be one

1014
01:25:06.199 --> 01:25:10.920
of the tough things that's gonna we're
gonna have to do in crafting the legislation

1015
01:25:11.039 --> 01:25:15.920
or deal with after crafting the legislation. But you know, beyond that,

1016
01:25:17.199 --> 01:25:20.960
whatever we need to do in North
Carolina, whether it needs to whether it

1017
01:25:21.039 --> 01:25:25.600
be the wording of the bill,
whether it be a continued fight, whether

1018
01:25:25.680 --> 01:25:28.920
it be standing up to those agencies
as you said, like we said that

1019
01:25:29.000 --> 01:25:33.600
are talking about not giving us accreditation, and whether it be appealing directly to

1020
01:25:33.760 --> 01:25:40.279
parents and giving parents alternatives so that
they don't have to be part of this

1021
01:25:40.479 --> 01:25:44.520
delusion. We have got to do
it, because again, if we fold

1022
01:25:44.600 --> 01:25:48.720
on this one issue, which is
just plain old, ordinary common sense and

1023
01:25:48.840 --> 01:25:54.039
it never never, at any other
point in history as any other country ever

1024
01:25:54.119 --> 01:25:58.680
done anything like this, And for
the freest, most developed nation on earth

1025
01:25:58.800 --> 01:26:03.399
now to be question seeing the absolute
size of gender and making moves to damage

1026
01:26:03.560 --> 01:26:09.159
children the way we're doing and mutilate
children the way that we're doing it is

1027
01:26:09.199 --> 01:26:13.239
just it's insane. And somebody's got
to stand up and stop the insaturday.

1028
01:26:13.279 --> 01:26:15.199
And I believe that we can do
it if we stand together and we're not

1029
01:26:15.279 --> 01:26:19.000
afraid. I got one minute left. One other bill I want to hear

1030
01:26:19.079 --> 01:26:25.479
your thoughts on is a restriction on
drag performances. Basically, they'd be barred

1031
01:26:25.600 --> 01:26:30.720
from public property or private property public
that is open to the public where anyone

1032
01:26:30.840 --> 01:26:34.359
under the age of eighteen is there. Essentially, it's treated as though their

1033
01:26:34.399 --> 01:26:40.359
exotic dancers. Are you good with
this? I am tasting. If you

1034
01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:45.079
look at the many of the drag
performances that are being displayed in front of

1035
01:26:45.159 --> 01:26:49.640
children. They're highly sexual in nature. They're not something that should be presiian

1036
01:26:49.760 --> 01:26:57.119
to minor children, and I'm very
confused as to why these drag queens feel

1037
01:26:57.159 --> 01:27:01.000
like they need to perform it for
our small children. I'm very confused about

1038
01:27:01.079 --> 01:27:05.359
that. I've never said it any
format that folks shouldn't be able to go

1039
01:27:05.439 --> 01:27:08.960
to a draft show. They shouldn't
be able to go to a strip show

1040
01:27:09.039 --> 01:27:15.520
of any general or any sexual persuasion. That is an adult proposition that needs

1041
01:27:15.520 --> 01:27:17.439
to be kept in an adult place. And if we can form a law

1042
01:27:17.560 --> 01:27:23.520
to ensure that that happens, I'm
all for our crovitson Lieutenant Governor joining us.

1043
01:27:24.079 --> 01:27:28.199
And you know, next time we
talked should be interesting. With the

1044
01:27:28.279 --> 01:27:30.800
event this weekend, we'll be watching. Thank you, sir, appreciate it,

1045
01:27:31.600 --> 01:27:34.319
you got it so thank you so
much. Seeing a few weeks you

1046
01:27:34.479 --> 01:27:47.439
bet, and we will be right
back your day smarter and celebrating ten years

1047
01:27:47.479 --> 01:27:51.920
of keeping you better informed. One
oh six one FM Talk and News Talk

1048
01:27:53.079 --> 01:28:01.760
nine four five w PTI more with
Casey starts now. Man, that has

1049
01:28:01.800 --> 01:28:08.000
got to be embarrassing. You know
when they had when that whack job dude

1050
01:28:08.359 --> 01:28:10.680
or he didn't try to jump the
gate. What did you try to ram

1051
01:28:10.760 --> 01:28:14.000
the gate? When Trump was in
office? That dude at least was ex

1052
01:28:14.119 --> 01:28:18.520
military. Apparently somebody sent a baby
to get the president yesterday or two days

1053
01:28:18.520 --> 01:28:27.359
ago. Did you have you seen
this story? Uh, this was yesterday.

1054
01:28:27.439 --> 01:28:34.600
A toddler apparently squeezed through the bars
of the fence surrounding the White House

1055
01:28:35.960 --> 01:28:41.119
and started booking it for the Executive
Mansion. And they immediately tried to give

1056
01:28:41.159 --> 01:28:44.159
it puberty blockers, which is like, what is going on here? Well,

1057
01:28:44.359 --> 01:28:47.520
they tipped the spikes with them kids
crawling over, but this this little

1058
01:28:47.680 --> 01:28:51.840
this little guy squeezed between them,
so yeah, they had they had to

1059
01:28:51.920 --> 01:28:56.439
hit him with a trank gun filled
with puberty blockers, and then they tried

1060
01:28:56.479 --> 01:28:59.239
to abort it, which is very
strange. I mean, they hate babies

1061
01:28:59.239 --> 01:29:01.920
there, apparently trimester man. I
would say to that baby, like,

1062
01:29:02.079 --> 01:29:04.960
you need to be aware of like
the handsling great old Candy house and like

1063
01:29:05.039 --> 01:29:08.359
the White House, they don't go
near them because they can't stand you.

1064
01:29:09.079 --> 01:29:11.239
Well, the one does have candy. I mean, I don't want to

1065
01:29:11.359 --> 01:29:15.399
completely dissuade the kid, but candy
is so good. I'm now hopefully now

1066
01:29:15.439 --> 01:29:18.560
we sent this, we sent the
baby to Guantanamo or something, right,

1067
01:29:19.560 --> 01:29:29.760
so like crazy man, the US
Secret Service uniformed uh yeah, uniform division

1068
01:29:29.840 --> 01:29:36.560
officers obviously noticed the top booking it
across the lawn and we're able to capture

1069
01:29:36.680 --> 01:29:41.439
him. Boy, I bet,
I bet if the I bet the Chinese

1070
01:29:41.520 --> 01:29:45.520
government right now is looking for people
who you know, like people who have

1071
01:29:45.640 --> 01:29:49.640
Dwarfism or whatever. Right, this
gives him an idea or like the grease

1072
01:29:49.720 --> 01:29:54.159
Man and Oceans eleven? Yes,
yes, yeah, yeah, that dude,

1073
01:29:56.039 --> 01:30:00.960
I'm trying to remember. I mean, that's what's the gap. They

1074
01:30:01.000 --> 01:30:09.399
don't even they probably don't put it
in the story here. It was the

1075
01:30:09.560 --> 01:30:15.159
first successful intrusion in the complex since
the White House fence was doubled its height

1076
01:30:15.279 --> 01:30:21.199
to roughly thirteen feet. Well,
I mean, okay, yeah, I

1077
01:30:21.199 --> 01:30:24.680
believe it or not, and they
actually put it in the story here.

1078
01:30:24.760 --> 01:30:29.720
But when I got to visit the
White House for the little Trump thing we

1079
01:30:29.840 --> 01:30:31.359
just did when Trump was in there, when they had some of the radio

1080
01:30:31.439 --> 01:30:41.960
hosts go over and like they were
talking about how kids have tried to squeeze

1081
01:30:42.079 --> 01:30:46.199
and really thin idiots have tried to
squeeze through there and gotten stuck in the

1082
01:30:46.279 --> 01:30:50.039
fence before, so but nah,
this kid pulled it off. Man,

1083
01:30:54.880 --> 01:30:58.680
he was able. He almost made
it. Who remember the guy who ran

1084
01:31:00.359 --> 01:31:02.600
and got into the White House?
Remember that dude? What did he?

1085
01:31:03.239 --> 01:31:05.880
That's the reason we doubled it.
He jumped? Would he jumped over it?

1086
01:31:05.960 --> 01:31:10.680
He got into the physical White House. He got into like the reception

1087
01:31:10.800 --> 01:31:15.399
room or something, and everyone run
into the kitchen or something. What's that?

1088
01:31:15.760 --> 01:31:18.279
Didn't he get into the kitchen or
something? He's crazy? Got in

1089
01:31:18.479 --> 01:31:23.960
three different rooms. I can't remember
what they were, but it was like

1090
01:31:24.359 --> 01:31:30.479
he got in Like you assume,
I assume, and I would assume that

1091
01:31:30.560 --> 01:31:39.119
you believe this to be the case. I would think that once somebody got

1092
01:31:39.199 --> 01:31:43.199
over a fence, there's no way
they'd make it to the White House because

1093
01:31:43.279 --> 01:31:46.279
it's quite a bit of distance when
you're going across one of the lawns like

1094
01:31:46.399 --> 01:31:49.600
that dude did no. I mean, I would assume, like if you're

1095
01:31:49.640 --> 01:31:53.760
like, hey, you need to
like go past the fence and bolt for

1096
01:31:53.800 --> 01:31:56.159
the White House. In my mind, I would assume it'd be like no

1097
01:31:56.279 --> 01:32:00.359
man's land and like World War One, like there's no way you're gonna that

1098
01:32:00.520 --> 01:32:05.199
far right right yeah. Plus,
you know they're not gonna they're not gonna

1099
01:32:05.239 --> 01:32:09.000
disclose everything they have, and obviously
you're not gonna hit him with an anti

1100
01:32:09.119 --> 01:32:12.800
aircraft missile, which they you know
they have on the roof. But you

1101
01:32:12.840 --> 01:32:15.239
would think that you'd have a security
perimeter. Just get a cowboy on a

1102
01:32:15.359 --> 01:32:23.920
horse with a with a lasso,
man like solve this problem. Uh yeah,

1103
01:32:24.039 --> 01:32:30.439
But the kid was reunited with his
parents um on Pennsylvania Avenue, and

1104
01:32:30.800 --> 01:32:33.279
they did, they did actually lock
down that part of it. I don't

1105
01:32:33.319 --> 01:32:41.359
know why. You just if you
can grab the intruder with one hand kind

1106
01:32:41.359 --> 01:32:45.840
of carry him back to his parents, I don't know that. Here we

1107
01:32:45.920 --> 01:32:46.920
go, all right, So this
is what I was looking for. So

1108
01:32:47.039 --> 01:32:55.000
the space between the bars is five
inches. So if you can, if

1109
01:32:55.079 --> 01:32:57.760
you can, you know, like
a cat, get yourself through there,

1110
01:32:58.479 --> 01:33:05.159
then you're you're or halfway there apparently, But that was that was the extent

1111
01:33:05.279 --> 01:33:09.600
of it. I have a good
laugh. And they didn't even throw the

1112
01:33:09.680 --> 01:33:13.479
kid in jail. So what are
you gonna do? Well, maybe nothing.

1113
01:33:13.680 --> 01:33:18.159
Today someone on Earth could be threatened
by a six hundred pounds satellite plummeting

1114
01:33:18.279 --> 01:33:25.840
to Earth. Now, the risk
of actually hitting anyone when you factor in

1115
01:33:26.159 --> 01:33:30.000
how I know that moonbats would have
you believe that we're stacked like cordwood on

1116
01:33:30.119 --> 01:33:34.720
top of each other. But the
vast majority of Earth's surface is water,

1117
01:33:34.960 --> 01:33:39.880
and on top of that, even
the land, there's not generally a person

1118
01:33:40.000 --> 01:33:45.119
standing there. It's so between that
and re entry burn, it's a one

1119
01:33:45.199 --> 01:33:51.199
in twenty five hundred chants that somebody
or somebody's house gets hit by a satellite.

1120
01:33:51.359 --> 01:34:00.119
It is a low earth satellite and
uh, let's see here who who

1121
01:34:00.159 --> 01:34:01.960
satellite is it? Is it one
of ours? I think it is.

1122
01:34:02.359 --> 01:34:10.279
It's one of ours and some other
country cooperative thing. So AnyWho, that's

1123
01:34:10.319 --> 01:34:14.399
the thing that should be on the
lookout for, but probably not here on

1124
01:34:14.520 --> 01:34:17.199
the east coast of the US.
So you got that, You got that

1125
01:34:17.319 --> 01:34:20.760
going for you, all right?
Eight forty two k C O D radio

1126
01:34:20.960 --> 01:34:26.840
program. Um one other. I
got to go back to the audio for

1127
01:34:26.920 --> 01:34:32.880
this these did you ross? Did
you ever see the picture where they had

1128
01:34:33.039 --> 01:34:40.760
like Brooklyn Dad and Joe Joe from
Jurors and all these all these uh Paige

1129
01:34:40.960 --> 01:34:45.560
Hill Twitter people they like, they
gathered for an event at the White House.

1130
01:34:45.640 --> 01:34:48.479
They brought him to the White House. Yeah, right, so you

1131
01:34:48.560 --> 01:34:51.680
know, but part of the thing
is, now these are just regular people

1132
01:34:51.880 --> 01:34:55.600
that are not all fed the same
talking points, and all you have to

1133
01:34:55.680 --> 01:34:58.439
do when there's a big issue is
go look because they all write the same

1134
01:34:58.520 --> 01:35:02.600
thing. So one of the younger
folks in that group is this guy named

1135
01:35:02.640 --> 01:35:06.239
Harry Sisson is what. He's twenty. He's twenty, and he claims to

1136
01:35:06.319 --> 01:35:13.199
have been on Twitter since two thousand
and eight or something. I'm not even

1137
01:35:13.239 --> 01:35:16.039
gonna do the math, but anyway, I saw his video he posted he

1138
01:35:16.079 --> 01:35:23.119
would like you to know that he
gave it a real sporting try when it

1139
01:35:23.199 --> 01:35:28.079
came to guns, and he in
his twenty years on this earth and his

1140
01:35:29.800 --> 01:35:35.000
Twitter account, which just almost instantly
had what like one hundred thousand followers,

1141
01:35:36.079 --> 01:35:40.760
he's got some advice for all of
you out there. And here it is.

1142
01:35:40.920 --> 01:35:44.000
So I shot a gun for the
first time today. And I've always

1143
01:35:44.039 --> 01:35:46.239
been told by Republicans that after the
first time, I'll be in favor of

1144
01:35:46.359 --> 01:35:49.600
guns and I'll want more guns.
But for me, it was the exact

1145
01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:55.199
opposite. I realized how powerful these
guns are, and at a moment's notice,

1146
01:35:55.399 --> 01:35:58.039
they can be used to take someone's
life. And the fact that in

1147
01:35:58.159 --> 01:36:00.560
many states in this country you can
walk into one of these stores and ten

1148
01:36:00.640 --> 01:36:05.000
minutes later walk out with an Air
fifteen is absurd. This experience made me

1149
01:36:05.079 --> 01:36:09.920
want more gun control, not less. All Right, I don't know.

1150
01:36:10.119 --> 01:36:14.760
I don't know if that if that's
a good flex that you're terrified of a

1151
01:36:14.840 --> 01:36:19.119
two two three and a rifle that
is a little heavier so obviously has less

1152
01:36:19.199 --> 01:36:26.079
recoil that you're going to feel.
But you know, a for effort with

1153
01:36:26.239 --> 01:36:30.680
the propaganda there, bro and I
have to extract and assume he shot an

1154
01:36:30.720 --> 01:36:34.279
AAR because he references in AAR and
I'm going to assume it was the one

1155
01:36:34.319 --> 01:36:42.159
of these smaller caliber versions of one. But yeah, as any Republican ever

1156
01:36:42.319 --> 01:36:45.319
said, I mean, I know
that we're straw manning here that you're going

1157
01:36:45.359 --> 01:36:48.760
to fall in love with guns,
although it is interesting when people do.

1158
01:36:49.000 --> 01:36:53.960
Man, I've on more than one
occasion seeing somebody shooting for the first time

1159
01:36:54.439 --> 01:36:58.479
and the look on their face was
one of holy cow, this is kind

1160
01:36:58.560 --> 01:37:04.960
of cool or this is awesome.
But he shot it and it terrified him

1161
01:37:05.079 --> 01:37:11.840
and he just wanted everyone to know. So, um, whatever talking points

1162
01:37:12.399 --> 01:37:15.159
will be coming out today, I
would look to his account to probably have

1163
01:37:15.319 --> 01:37:17.560
those as well. All right,
eight forty five, where you staging from

1164
01:37:17.560 --> 01:37:23.399
the weather channel? Oh man,
oh man. You see the baby that

1165
01:37:24.159 --> 01:37:29.479
tried to rush the White House yesterday? Oh the one that just got through

1166
01:37:29.520 --> 01:37:33.439
the bars, got through the bars. Yeah, yeah, probably a Chinese

1167
01:37:33.479 --> 01:37:39.960
spy man put that can in Guantanamo. Uh, well, it'll be too

1168
01:37:40.079 --> 01:37:43.760
careful. No, you can't.
You can't. Um, boy, if

1169
01:37:43.840 --> 01:37:47.520
you if you had a chance to
get outside yet. Um. You're experiencing

1170
01:37:47.600 --> 01:37:51.119
some great weather. And you know, you don't get a lot of promises

1171
01:37:51.279 --> 01:37:55.640
in my business. Casey, I
think you know that. But when you

1172
01:37:55.720 --> 01:37:59.039
get in situations like this, or
you see high pressure and really not much

1173
01:37:59.119 --> 01:38:02.560
can mess it up, you can
make some promises. And I'm gonna promise

1174
01:38:02.600 --> 01:38:04.479
the rest of the week there's not
gonna be any rain. There's gonna be

1175
01:38:04.479 --> 01:38:08.000
a lot of sunshine. I mean, if there's a few clouds, they

1176
01:38:08.000 --> 01:38:12.039
won't be rain clouds, averaging load
of mid eighties across the region from the

1177
01:38:12.119 --> 01:38:15.720
try It to the Triangle. Um, the warmest days probably tomorrow, so

1178
01:38:15.039 --> 01:38:18.239
you may see some upper eighties from
the Triangle, and that a front will

1179
01:38:18.279 --> 01:38:21.319
come in and it's gonna kind of
mess it all up Saturday in the afternoon,

1180
01:38:21.399 --> 01:38:27.119
so make your tea time for Saturday
morning. You can get probably nine

1181
01:38:27.199 --> 01:38:30.560
in and I don't know how slowly
you play, but if you're still out

1182
01:38:30.600 --> 01:38:31.960
there by about one or two in
the afternoon, that's when the wet weather

1183
01:38:31.960 --> 01:38:35.159
will start coming in. But the
front going through it will be out of

1184
01:38:35.199 --> 01:38:40.000
referring two, is the person who
always plays in front of me? Yes,

1185
01:38:40.239 --> 01:38:45.039
that would probably that would be they
were still out there at one front

1186
01:38:45.039 --> 01:38:47.600
of me, so yep, yeah, that'd be me. So um yeah.

1187
01:38:48.279 --> 01:38:51.399
The afternoon will be wet, some
rain and thunderstorms coming in. The

1188
01:38:51.560 --> 01:38:55.279
good news is, though the front
goes through and we do cool off though

1189
01:38:55.319 --> 01:38:59.359
for Sunday mid upper sixties and the
load of miid forties for Monday morning mid

1190
01:38:59.439 --> 01:39:03.039
sixties month afternoon, and maybe a
more significant rain system in here midweek next

1191
01:39:03.119 --> 01:39:06.600
week. We'll keep an eye on
that, but centered earlier in case anybody

1192
01:39:06.640 --> 01:39:10.680
missed it. Six out of the
next seven days, so that's Today through

1193
01:39:11.399 --> 01:39:15.840
Tuesday should be sunny too, mostly
sunny. You only wrinkle in there Saturday,

1194
01:39:15.920 --> 01:39:18.640
so Saturday's your wet weather chance,
and that might not even be all

1195
01:39:18.760 --> 01:39:21.359
day, might even be the second
half of the day. All right,

1196
01:39:21.439 --> 01:39:24.960
Well, the nice thing is if
you're golfing and it starts to rain,

1197
01:39:25.079 --> 01:39:29.680
there's generally a nineteenth pole where they
serve beer inside, so there iss options.

1198
01:39:29.920 --> 01:39:31.680
All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it, and we'll come

1199
01:39:31.720 --> 01:39:45.640
back chat with Jeff Balinger next.
Hang on celebrating ten years of keeping you

1200
01:39:45.800 --> 01:39:51.439
connected, WPTI in the Triad and
one oh six one FM Talk in the

1201
01:39:51.560 --> 01:39:58.600
Triangle. A fifty three Bloomberg Update. Now, Jeff Balinger, what's happening

1202
01:39:58.600 --> 01:40:01.880
in today, sir, Good morning, Casey. Stock market futures pointing a

1203
01:40:02.039 --> 01:40:08.039
little lower this morning. The market
barely budged yesterday the indexes and did pretty

1204
01:40:08.079 --> 01:40:13.159
close to where they started. Netflix
shares fell after hours. Investors were disappointed

1205
01:40:13.239 --> 01:40:17.399
by the video streaming company second quarter
revenue projections, but Netflix thinks the numbers

1206
01:40:17.439 --> 01:40:21.239
will look better in the third and
fourth quarters once it starts cracking down on

1207
01:40:21.359 --> 01:40:28.840
customers who share their passwords. Besides
streaming network, Netflix still rents DVDs by

1208
01:40:28.960 --> 01:40:31.199
mail. That service is going to
wind down over the next six months.

1209
01:40:31.399 --> 01:40:35.239
The company will exit the twenty five
year old mail operation at the end of

1210
01:40:35.319 --> 01:40:41.359
September. Affordability issues keeping nearly three
out of four would be homebuyers on the

1211
01:40:41.439 --> 01:40:45.359
sidelines. Banquet dot com says home
prices have begun to fall in some parts

1212
01:40:45.399 --> 01:40:49.880
of the country, but seventy three
percent of aspiring homeowners say they are still

1213
01:40:50.279 --> 01:40:54.800
priced out of the market. Zillo, in fact, released a survey this

1214
01:40:54.960 --> 01:40:59.520
morning finding that more than half of
gen Zers and millennials think they would have

1215
01:40:59.640 --> 01:41:03.159
to win the lottery to ever own
a home, and this isn't helping affordability

1216
01:41:03.239 --> 01:41:08.000
at all. Mortgage infestrates made a
big move higher last week. According to

1217
01:41:08.039 --> 01:41:12.279
the Mortgage Bankers Association, the average
rate on a thirty year fixed rate home

1218
01:41:12.359 --> 01:41:15.880
loan jump to six point forty three
percent. A growing number of current homeowners

1219
01:41:15.920 --> 01:41:19.960
are in danger of losing their homes. First quarter data from ADAM show the

1220
01:41:20.079 --> 01:41:25.680
number of properties with foreclosure filings was
up six percent from the fourth quarter and

1221
01:41:25.880 --> 01:41:30.560
up twenty two percent from the first
quarter. North Carolina has the seventeenth highest

1222
01:41:30.600 --> 01:41:34.439
foreclosure rate in the nation. One
out of every one thousand, five hundred

1223
01:41:34.479 --> 01:41:40.720
twenty five homes is subject to some
type of filing, and a casey United

1224
01:41:40.840 --> 01:41:45.960
Airlines is upbeat. The carrier says
international travel is picking up that, combined

1225
01:41:45.000 --> 01:41:49.560
with lower operating costs, will boost
at second quarter profit the new projections from

1226
01:41:49.760 --> 01:41:55.279
United top Wall Street Forecast. Casey, all right, thank you, Jeff,

1227
01:41:55.279 --> 01:41:58.319
appreciate it. We'll chat tomorrow,
sir, Okay, I'll be here

1228
01:41:58.399 --> 01:42:00.199
talk to you then, have a
good day. All right, there you

1229
01:42:00.199 --> 01:42:05.239
go, Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News. And I just I how are we

1230
01:42:05.399 --> 01:42:18.079
back at this trough once again?
Once again? The organization that runs Auschwitz,

1231
01:42:19.520 --> 01:42:30.119
yes, the historical site of of
the notorious concentration camp, which is

1232
01:42:31.840 --> 01:42:39.439
such a somber place for most people. And I gotta I gotta tell you

1233
01:42:39.600 --> 01:42:42.640
I didn't go to Auschwitz, but
I have been one of the other camps

1234
01:42:43.079 --> 01:42:48.199
and uh and like thankfully I didn't
see this crap. Once again they have

1235
01:42:48.319 --> 01:42:59.600
had to warn folks not to take
comical or sexy photos while standing on the

1236
01:43:00.039 --> 01:43:09.399
rail line that brought all these people
to their death. They had several exactly

1237
01:43:09.439 --> 01:43:12.079
what was it last year two years
ago when they first had to do the

1238
01:43:12.159 --> 01:43:16.880
yeah no here It is March of
twenty nineteen, and that was people who

1239
01:43:16.920 --> 01:43:21.439
were kind of walking on the rail
This photo of this girl that got posted

1240
01:43:21.520 --> 01:43:27.199
that prompted this she is sitting on
the rail. She's got a very plunging

1241
01:43:27.359 --> 01:43:33.920
neckline shirt on and is showing off
her assets while leaning back in a you

1242
01:43:34.000 --> 01:43:40.600
know, like a thirst trap sexy
slutty pose and sitting on one side of

1243
01:43:40.640 --> 01:43:45.199
the rails, one of the rails. You know, we just I asked

1244
01:43:45.239 --> 01:43:48.680
earlier, how did we know not
to have a game, a licking game

1245
01:43:48.800 --> 01:43:54.479
with marshmallow cream with teachers and students, And how do you not know that

1246
01:43:54.600 --> 01:44:00.880
when you go to Auschwitz that doing
an only fans pose is going to get

1247
01:44:01.000 --> 01:44:06.600
you not just warned, but the
title of most hated person on the Internet

1248
01:44:06.680 --> 01:44:10.560
that day, because of course you
posted. It can't be like accidental,

1249
01:44:10.720 --> 01:44:13.319
like you took a shuttle there.
You're like, you know where you're going,

1250
01:44:13.439 --> 01:44:15.079
right, It's not like you're walking
around Amsterdam and you're taking a phone.

1251
01:44:15.119 --> 01:44:16.840
You're like, oh my god,
I was Anne Frank's house. I

1252
01:44:17.039 --> 01:44:19.560
know you're right, Leah, No, I right, you know where you

1253
01:44:19.720 --> 01:44:25.520
are? What are you doing doing
a thirst trap on the tracks? It's

1254
01:44:25.560 --> 01:44:30.840
it's I kick him out of Poland
at that point, really kick him out

1255
01:44:30.840 --> 01:44:33.760
of the country. I know I
don't want I don't want him to because

1256
01:44:34.079 --> 01:44:40.479
you're dealing with obviously the delicacy of
of why why this is such a historical

1257
01:44:40.560 --> 01:44:45.680
and somber memorial and educational opportunity to
all of it. But you put just

1258
01:44:45.960 --> 01:44:48.640
enough a current on there that if
somebody's doing something stupid, you can get

1259
01:44:48.720 --> 01:44:54.640
him to least off the tracks.
I wouldn't be opposed to that right correction

1260
01:44:54.760 --> 01:45:00.039
caller or something. I just I
don't know. I honestly, i'd like

1261
01:45:00.159 --> 01:45:04.399
to talk to that woman. I
would like to hear the justification. And

1262
01:45:04.560 --> 01:45:11.319
by the way, there's no way
that you're walking into Auschwitz or dot Cow

1263
01:45:11.439 --> 01:45:15.199
or any of these other places without
knowing what's up in there. And I

1264
01:45:15.199 --> 01:45:21.199
don't know if you know this Auschwitz
has a pretty famous sign, but they

1265
01:45:21.319 --> 01:45:25.560
have then they have to sit there
and warn people, and it's just,

1266
01:45:27.520 --> 01:45:30.119
oh, it's so discouraging. Anyway, that's the show for today. See

1267
01:45:30.159 --> 01:45:30.640
you tomorrow.
