Ah, is it really gonna be one of those mornings? All right?
Just just so we're all aware, there is a there is a very convenient
window in the morning where everything has to run smoothly. And it literally starts
from like the moment you get up. You don't wanna you don't wanna not
know where your keys are. You want to make sure that there's not some
weird traffic thing. Everything's loading on the computators. That's how we get our
morning going. So everything's got to run smoothly. Everybody's got our own routine.
Ross has his routine. It's loading audio sometimes doing spots, things like
that, I'm gonna read over about five or six websites. I'm gonna make
sure that you know the computer does everything that they do. With that being
said, it's mildly distracting. At one minute before showtime if somebody walks back
in their studio wearing a powdered wig, do I even want to know what
the hell is going on this morning? I mean, you need to be
more professional. You know, it's a big day to day. Is it
like is it like weird? It's a weird negotiation. I'm gonna I'm gonna
aware of or I got my Jerry summons. I'm super excited. Okay,
yeah, all right, all right, We've we've talked about this before in
the show numerous times. I'm very upset to like, I never got a
jury summons, and when people get them, I get really jealous because I
would love to do it. And yesterday, so I was picking up dinner,
came home and Marky's in the kitchen. She's like, your life is
about to change? What? When I said? I said what? She?
And I was like, what is God? To be fair? To
be fair? You walk in your spouse? How long you guys been married?
What that'll be? Eighteen years? Eighteen years? Okay? All right,
So you walk into that, you walk into the kitchen or wherever this
is happening, I don't know, and your spouse of nearly two decades is
like, your life is about to change? Does it? Does that put
a little bit of like what's going on in your throat? Not at all?
Okay? All right, all right? So you walk into the kitchen
and your wife is like, things are about to change, right, And
I'm like, what's going on? She turns around, she's holding an envelope,
and I'm like, what's in what is it? Publisher's cleary right bright?
Yeah, and she shows it to me. She she goes, I
was about to throw this away. She's talking super serious right now because she
knows how exciting. She goes, I was about to throw this away,
but then I noticed what it said in the window of the envelope. Yeah,
it said Jay you are And she hates it to me and I canna
express to you how excited than I was. I was literally shaking, and
she was. She was like, oh my god, you are so excited.
She's like, I've seen you this exciting a long time, and I
said, it finally happened. Yeah, finally, Summons. I'm so excited.
Listener. I think we have a listener in the department because I just
think it's weird that you and I talk about it a few weeks ago,
all of a sudden boom, right now, what is unfortunate for you?
And I don't want to be a buzzkill on this because your powdered wigs looks
I'm ready put me in coach, I'm ready to justice. Okay, all
right, yeah, you're ready to cause people are like trying to give me
advice on how to get out of it, Like, why would I want
to get out of it? Oh? Yeah, forever. Yes, people
don't understand. I'm like, I don't want to get out of it.
That the problem I think you're going to have is your number. Right.
I was high two hundreds, you're in the threes. Right. I hear
what you're saying. But what you what you don't understand is I'm a man
of fate and destiny. I don't mean to be negative now that I would
love nothing more than you to be on a jury, just because I am
so curious how this goes. Do you know what if I'm ready, Like
I'm already preparedly, I'm gonna show up with Hayes for sheriff t shirts and
hand him out, because then the lawyers will be like this guy is gonna
be like he's fair and he's giving and he's unbiased and seat him immediately.
I cannot wait. All right, we are binging Matt Locke. We're gonna
watch like the entire the entire run of Matt lock To for this. If
the murder is a witness, then we're gonna watch it murder, she wrote.
And then we're gonna go to Kojak and Colombo. We watched Twelve Angry
Men last night. Oh wow, that is not where I would go with
with this. Okay, what's said? What's the oh what's the movie?
I'm thinking of? Runaway Jury? Did you watch Runaway Jewey? Obviously,
now to put that in the list. We've got the firm, I've gotten
a few good man. Okay, all right, well what that's a military
tribunal? I mean, I object, okay, sidebar your runner ybbit,
your honner gibbit. What is that's from a goodwille hunting when he's like he's
on trial? Wait, wasn't he like quoting like old English? I was
so ready. You know you're not the one who brings up the law,
fir born this man? What day? Hold on? What day are we
not doing the show? Hold on? Are you? Are you going to
take that day off? Because they're already like freaking not trying to figure out
who was going to feel I no, no, no, no, dude.
I saw that. This is what literally tipped me off to this,
and then the powdered wig. I'm like, oh, okay, all right,
by the way, is that not hot? So hot? I'm just
sweating what day is it. It's the week of April, dude, it's
the week of April. First, I don't believe you. Hold on,
I did one. I'll bring you in the letter, which is up on
my fridge right now. I would not be this excited. I'm super excited.
Oh it's so, this is why I don't know what's going on.
I don't know if it's if it's a if it's a gimmick or wait,
hold on, no, wait, hold on, you send a wait did
you send it? This is a copy that you sent in the email right
to me and AJ. All right, I'm sure I shouldn't look at this
thing. Yeah, oh my gosh, yeah you're but you're in the three
hundreds. I mean not that that doesn't man man of destiny. So so
the way it works is you got to call the night before. I think
though, because I'm in the media, I don't think I've a call in
and they just show up and they they see me. Dude, how are
you going to survive the In all seriousness, what do you think your chances
are surviving the Okay, all right, but it's this, it'll be a
pooping on sidewalk. I don't think he cares emailers. I don't think he
cares. Do you care? You don't care? Right? What the case
is? Yeah, you know I would prefer like a big old murder.
Whatever. Then it's gonna be other days off. So, so it's April.
I'm putting this on my calendar April second, right, so the day
after April Fool's Day. All right, you know if you wear that powdered
wig. By the way, where did you get a powdered wig? I
don't Amazon overnight delivery? Okay, dude, Ross is so stoked. I
hope Look, I hope you survive the the initial I think the number is
probably going to screw. I don't mean to be negative on this. I
think your number is high enough that at five oh one on April Fool's Day,
although you can pretend you don't believe them because it's April Fools and show
up anyway, I think your number might be too high. I'd say this
too, like when the people sending out the letters, they need to make
the envelope more clear of what's inside the letter because it could be thrown away
for junk mail, right right, No, it looks super junk mail ish
all right, so April second, no show. I mean that's gonna that's
how it's gonna have to be. I don't know who we have to fill
in. I went to Amazon too, and I was looking at I put
in the search bar Matt Locke suit because I realized I had to buy a
suit for the thing, and like, there's no then it shows up when
you put in Matlock suit. Apparently I'm hunt down the individual pieces of powdered
robe. That's not an issue, yeah, but the individual pieces for the
Mattlock suit, I'm gonna have to hunt them down individually. I've got to
I got to dress up for the thing, right, No, I see
this all right on the calendar. Yeah, I haven't heard. I haven't
heard how management is going to deal with that. So but I shouldn't say
that, because I did see the immediate response from one of our bosses,
just like, hey man put it in the calendar. They understand the duty
to to do this. I will say, you might be the most excited
jury person I've ever run into, And apparently our audience feels the the same
there. All right, So what do you want? You want something quick
and easy or you want to be sequestered. No, I told you I
want to pick a big old murder. Okay, all right, well,
look they exist. I'm trying to think of the highest profile case that is
that is out there right now. Unfortunately, and I don't mean to be
negative, Nancy. I think if it's a simple case, it's uh,
it's it's justice raw style. But I feel like if it's anything high profile,
that probably doesn't bode well. So instead of a murder, maybe like
three d u wys I I mean either way, I mean it's going to
be great for my Hayes for sheriff resume. Put that on the resume,
you know, right, det out justice. I don't think you can do
that show stopping juror Okay, all right, all right, April. Sorry,
so I got it on the calendar here, it's one, two,
three, four weeks. We're literally exactly four weeks from whatever this is going.
That's a good point. Do you think I should show up in the
Matlock suit or the my cousin Vinnie suit which now the one he bought at
the store with the you know, the rough old jacket, old school prom
one or what he was kind of wearing earlier with the judge wasn't happy,
right because first he wears the black leather outfit, right exactly, I would
say, prom okay with the red ruffles. I'm so, how does the
wife feel about it? Does she's so happy for me? Right? Okay?
I couldn't sleep last night so excited went for my wig to show up
for your What for the wig? I just assumed it's a whole outfit.
I'm sorry that wig didn't come with her justice an old English the other outfit.
I had to wait for the wig. It was delivered overnight, all
right, all right, So so there you go. Good morning. Ross
got jury duty, and I'm sure talking about it here is one hundred percent
going to guarantee he makes whatever the what in my phone? Sorry phones acting
weird? Wait? Is this a breaking news announcement that better not be?
Ross has jury duty? Okay, it's not all right, Happy Tuesday,
everybody, Just uh, just one of those mornings six twenty CaCO day radio
program. Ross willing to bake his head for the next four weeks. But
uh, you know, it's election day. So speaking of making big decisions,
today is one of those decisions. Let me give you the run down
for well, actually, let me do this. We got caught a little
off guard. Ross looks like a English lawyer, mildly distracting as the show
gets going. But it is election day, and even before he is arbiter
of some person's fate, he is our stopcap for what we do on election
day, which I'll give you the rundown coming up next here on the CaCO
Day Radio program. Sorry, I had to grab something I left on the
counter over there. All right, Well, hey, look, sometimes shows
right themselves. What are you gonna do? All right? Ross got a
jury summon, So that's what we're dealing with today, even on election day,
which in just a moment, I'll give you the details, all right,
real quick, Kenny, what's up? Oh? I just wanted to
call him on Ross's loving jury duty. I'm out there with the other Uh,
it's our SI duty, all right. No, I don't disagree with
you, but you know you didn't spell on a powdered wig at work a
month before, did you? All right, so you got on jury duty?
What was your what was your case? It was a murder case back
year ago. Okay, all right, all right, we got all into
it and about halfway through the trial, they made a plea deal. Oh
yeah, that ended it. Anyone's talked about Ross's tree. You know it's
election day, right, Let me give you the details and then I'll get
back into the calls because then I don't have to do crap. But all
right, so, uh, we started this yesterday, we'll continue it today
and uh this is this is how we handle candidate interviews, much of dismay
of people within the various parties, but throughout the course of the show today
much like yesterday, although it is more expansive. If you are candidate who
is on the ballot today, you want a few minutes, say hello,
We'll ask you a few questions. It'll either go well or not well for
you. I've noticed you can give us a call. Ross will do his
little vetting thing. I warn you he's he's wearing a fake robe and a
powdered wig today, So that's who you're dealing with because he got a jury
duty summons. He's very excited, but he'll do a little bit of vetting,
make sure you are who you are. And whereas yesterday we limited it
to federal offices and state wide offices, those very same candidates can call in
today if they didn't make it yesterday. But oh and you know, Council
of State. When I say statewide today, that includes state offices, local
offices. So you got a primary today. I don't care which party you're
with. You want to come on the radio, give us a call eight
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. And that's again, that's
open to all candidates. That's that's how you get on the show. Okay,
all right, I'll remind folks as we go forward, and to kick
things off, Ross got a jury duty summons and it's basically Christmas around these
parties. I would say the real election day, right, the real day
you vote or I'm going to vote, is the second of April, and
that's voting for the fate of the of the innocent or the dayamped right.
I don't think you can use the term damned. I feel like like when
they're doing Q and A, don't use damned. Now you're your jury numbers
in the three hundreds. I just want to it is. I want to
set the scene for everybody. Probably you're not going to have to go in
you realize that, right, But some are saying that it's impossible and that
it can't be done. But I mean they said the same I'm not saying
it can't be done. They issued it. Who knows, maybe there's a
whole lot of murdering that happened. They said the same thing to Christopher Columbus
Discover the New World. There is a likelihood that whoever you do preside over,
should it come to that, they haven't committed the crime yet. You
realize that, right, that's a good point. Who would encourage whoever is
out there not to commit the crime? Right? Because you don't you know,
let's say this is this is the community in which you live, right,
I would prefer correct, Yes, no one is harmed. You're supposed
to encourage them not to commit the crime, is correct? Okay? All
right, all right, so Ross is on team, don't commit the crime
unless it's already some sort of big crime that's been done. And they're like,
you know, right, okay, like some super big case like that's
where you're probably I think that's the problem you're going to run into, like
one your numbers will I'm not trying to be negative Nancy here. Look,
there's nothing more that I would want than you as the juror on a big
crime because we couldn't talk about it while it's happening. But I feel like
it would. It would fill two or three shows this and it would be
great because afterwards I'm rooting for it. It'd be great, just saying I
could be the show. He can't hear me. Wow, I think he
lost his feed. I knew it, dude. See in the past like
minute and a half, he couldn't hear a word I was saying. So
the story is in the news. I'm yeah, okay, what your microphone
keeps going in and out? Okay, all right, like really bad?
All right, let me do I'm gonna grab a call because I got to
ponder this email. All right, Uh, Lisa, what's up? Hello?
Lia? Yeah, yeah, go ahead, Yeah, you're up.
Yeah. I was just calling in to tell Ross and my girlfriend and her
dad were both calling for jury duty at the same time years ago. And
girl and when she came back, you know, we were all at this,
all at work, asking her, you know what, all to ask
you and all like that. Well, they asked her if she watched the
news, and she told him that she never did. And her dad,
you know, he's in his fifties or something. He said, Yay watched
it all the time, and they asked her if she read the newspapers.
She says, I only grabbed the comics out of that. I don't look
at any of them. Well, of course they picked her for jury duty
instead of her dad, so play stupid Ross. I'm I'm afraid that he
equals a mistrial within about five minutes. That's my that's my concerned Lisa.
Well, you know, since they started that thing where they call you,
I have been. I've gotten a thing several times, but I've never got
to go. So don't get you know, yeah, don't buy all the
candles and the fireworks. Shit, only encourage him? All right? Again,
if I brought fireworks, would it help my chance? Mean to the
to the courthouse? No, what do you? I bring my own stocks?
Why do you have stocks? Is I'm running for sheriff man. I
understand that, but I feel like if you literally bring disciplinary items, like
even if you do get called, it's not going to work. Also,
again, who has their own stocks? What the hell's going on? All
right? Hold on, Mark, what's up? Oh? That's just it
was the first of my precinct to vote. And of course the funny thing
initially was they asked me if I was a voting Democrat or Republican. I
thought there's no one running against Biden to my knowledge. But anyway, I
got the Republican ballot and there was about half a dozen names on there.
I know there's a cassover between maybe when people drop out of a race and
the time the printing had done. But should I have said half a dozen
names on there? And would that not potentially effect how people vote if they
don't well, are actually running? Which which race? You're talking about?
The presidential Yeah, Joe, I'm sorry? Yeah, correct, Yeah,
in North Carolina. I can't remember what the date is, but they hit
a date well in advance, because remember early voting kicked off what a few
weeks ago? Yeah, we have a cut off. We have a cutoff
date. So even if people drop out and it's by that time, it
really don't matter. So but you were first, I'm assuming everything was smooth
worked out. Yeah, the only one there? Okay, all right,
all right over under on Ross getting actually to hear a case. What do
you think it is? What I think it is? Yeah? You think
that you think he'll actually he'll be actually swearing and hearing or what, well
number three hundred. I wouldn't give that a whole lot of hope. Yeah,
all right, well look I'm rooting for him, sir. Right,
thanks for the call. I'm rooting for it. See, I feel like
Christopher Columbus when he said off to the New World. They were like,
there's no chances going to work. You, you know, you're doomed,
and he was, I believe in myself and and he you know, he
formed the New World. Okay, well I feel like I'm similar to that.
Well okay, well that was the thing. You're right one. Uh
not everyone said that because you know, the Queen of Portugal ponied up the
money, so like somebody believed in it. But yeah, yeah I wouldn't.
I wouldn't get my hopes up. But again, just for the sake
of the show and content, I'm hoping you hear a doozy man. I'm
hope. I'm you know what, I was just thinking, hold on,
we got a story today, dude, let me find this. Yeah,
so we got a story today about a a would be a would be social
justice warrior who is uh, you've been dealing with some stuff. Where did
I put this Nope, that's the DiCaprio story. All right, Now I
gotta find this thing. Yeah, so WRL wrote a whole here we go
BroadOn student shakes off, racist comments and racially charged threat. Yeah, who
knows. Maybe they dig into it, maybe they find more. Maybe there's
more to that story, because when I share it with you, I feel
like you're going to be left scratching your head. So with that in mind,
six forty five, we'll take a break. I'll fee in on the
details. Reminder, we're doing candidate calls, so that'll be a part of
the show. We'll get into that at eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four. Hang on, Now it's Tuesday, but it's not any
Tuesday. It's a primary election day here in North Carolina. So yeah,
we'll get called about that. Just in case we needed an extra thing in
the show schedule, Ross got a jury duty summons. So that's the show
in a nutshell. But because it is primary day, and if you are
a candidate and you're on the ballot, you want to say hey, and
now we're open for all the offices, so local, state, Federal Congress,
Council of State, local represented, whatever it may be. And you
want to be on the show today, call the show. We'll get you
vetted. We get a few minutes on the air, and that's how we
do that. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four is the
phone number. Let me grab it. Call Michael. What's up? Hello,
Good morning morning. Yeah, a question. I just voted and I
went to the machine to put my ballad in. I asked the guy which
way to turn it. He said it didn't matter. I said, oh,
so it's not reading the data, it's just collecting the actual ballot.
He said, yeah, So I'm confused, and I'm thinking, like old
school fax machines, you had to lay paper a certain way for it to
read. So I'm confused. So that's my question. What are your calling
on that? I don't know. I would think technology is to the point
where it wouldn't matter, right because you would be able to figure out which
way the writing's up, you know what I'm saying. But I seem to
remember, and admittedly it's been a few years since there are a couple of
years since I shoved a ballot in there. I do remember there's arrows,
but I mean, technologically wise, I don't know that it should matter,
just as long as because the little data reader things that are on there.
I don't know the answer, sir, see, that's what I was thinking.
I know in the past I voted it had to be a certain way.
This time he said, it's not even reading the ballot, it's just
collecting it. So I'm like, okay, this is strange, but okay,
I'll put it in there. But well, okay, well I'm sure
it is reading it. But I think what he meant to say is it's
not tabulating yet, which again, yeah, yeah. If look, if
somebody who works polls wants to call and answer the question, that'll be fine.
But from a technological standpoint, I got to think that it doesn't matter.
I shouldn't. It shouldn't from a technology standpoint. But again I don't.
I don't know about the machine. So did it give you a number?
Did it give you a number telling me what number you were? Oh?
Absolutely. I always take a photograph of my ballot every time, so
yeah, no, no, no, But there's one thing with the ballot,
but it's not that when you put it in it'll be like you're number
thirty two or whatever. Did he give you a number? No, it
didn't know, sir, I was about the fourth person in line this morning.
But yeah, I did not give a number. I's not saying everything
looks different from that I remember four years ago. So yeah, that's why
I was questioning. I don't, I don't know, So let me ask
you. Let me ask you the important question, sir, what do you
think happens when Ross ties to have somebody executed for shoplifting? How do you
think that's going to go? I have no idea that was. That was
a curve ball. Yeah, yeah, I know. I'm looking forward to
it though, So all right, Yeah, again I don't. I don't
know the answer to that. Like, technologically I could see where it wouldn't
matter just based on the markings on the ballot, but hell if I know.
So did you ask enjoy your did you ask her? Kind of I'm
kind of type of person. I just went with what he said and didn't
question it. But yeah, they tell you to question everything. So that's
why I got in the car. I turned it on one O six,
and I've heard the guy call in about all the people on the ballot for
the presidential and I said, I'm going to ask this question. Yeah,
figure maybe you might. Now you know, here's the thing. Thank you,
thank you very much for the call on I don't know how it is
at every precinct. I have found the the folks I in my voting precinct
is Republicans. Republicans don't show okay, even in in in the years I've
been voting to that particular precinct, which is a church, we'll just say
it's a church inside the belt line, I don't I've never seen a Republican
out handing out voting slips, So I mean it kind of gives you a
read of what it is from expected balloting standpoint. But I have found that
everyone I have ever interacted who's actually working the polls, there been very friendly
answered questions to my satisfaction when I've had them. So yeah, if that's
a concern you have out there, I ask, maybe you're sitting in line,
you're getting ready to vote right now, Maybe you're listening to the show
on your phone with the audio going some of your some of the people in
your precinct are like probably not happy to them. I say, good morning,
how you doing Roscott jury duty talks amongst yourselves and I don't know,
but ask the question. I'm sure you get an answer, and if you
want to call and share it, more power to you. Election day in
North Carolina, So if you didn't you didn't do the early vote, there
you go. Today's your day. I mean you'll get another chance hearing about
two hundred and fifty days or whatever it is to sixty something. But you
know, depending on where you are, there are some rather interesting primaries,
very contentious, a lot of accusations flown around, crazy ass commercials. But
let me say this, just because several of you have sent me emails this
morning, tell Ross to do this, he won't have to serve blah blah
blah. You don't understand. There is nothing I could tell that dude where
he doesn't want to sit on a jury. And two I want him to
let me. Let me explain to you the lazy logistics here. There is
a high likelihood I'll just take the damn day off. So if he calls
on the Monday and they're like, yeah, you got to go, I
may just take the day off again. And at that point that needs to
become like a recurring holiday on the show. I don't when I could deal
out justice, all right, So justice day. There's so many people that
are trying to tell us or tell me how to get out of it.
I'm like, because I think my post on social media and exit Facebook is
sarcastic, like this big cap letters. Since I've been waiting for this,
I'm so excited. Yeah, I don't want to get out of it.
It's not sarcastic. I'm super excited. So not only is there a high
possibility I just take the damn day off, but two the next day when
he comes back, I don't got a prep. Man, you realize this
is it's like it's a get out of jail for me too. So much
content. Yeah, and here's the thing, like you're talking last segment about
her, you know, last hour about evidence? Yeah, yeah, whatever
case. It is. The thing with me is I don't even need to
look at the evidence. It's not important you should. I just this is
exactly what they'll bring up in court to get you off there. I need
those details, man, I can just sense it. Uh your number whatever,
I don't know what your number, three whatever, your number whatever?
Uh did you say you don't need evidence? I don't say that. You
getta look, you know one side of the aisle is gonna get a little
a little crazy about that. So, yeah, so you said out of
your get out of jury duty free emails, but like you don't understand the
motivation. He's legit excited. So anyway, but until then we truck through
primary day. If you're a candidate, you are on the ballot in the
listening area, triangle, tryad areas they're thereabout. This is the opportunity we
provide for candidates to have a few minutes on the radio. What do we
have like five yesterday, but today's open for all candidates, not just FEDEROL,
not just statewide, but and see House and see Senate some of the
handful of local elections, although many are kind of off calendar year. And
you want to be on the air, call the show eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four, But do not call the show asking to schedule something. We don't
do that. And even though we have what do you think whilst what would
you say ten years, we've done it this way, probably more than ten.
I mean the sweepers would say ten, but yeah, ten. And
yet in my email and one phone call yesterday, the sheer volume of people
running for elected office who have listening issues. We ain't scheduling. How many
people do you think contacted a schedule yesterday? I got so many text messages
and from people I haven't heard from in years. Well, that's weird.
Huh Do you tell them about your jury duty? That should have been your
first response. They're like, Oh, you're running for office. That's great,
I got a jury summons. Let me tell you all about it.
I've got actual power right here. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right,
I am the justice. So we ain't scheduling and I it's not the
personal it's just the way we do it. And like some of the people
reached out are literally running for some of the highest offices. So you're listening
or your peeps are listening. That's how we roll. Okay, all right,
call the show and you're ready to be on the air. You just
like the working men and women that you want to represent. We put you
in the uh, put you in line, and that's how we do these
things. Show us that you're a man or woman of the people. Okay,
all right, to the phones. Here we go. Dave, what's
up? Hey, wait, get out of Drew Judy. First of all
go in there and start saying, yeah, I'm ready to hang this guy.
I'm ready to hang this guy. I can't think you want to last
one two minutes. You don't have your whole day free. But for the
voting poll though, what that did was when I was working the vating holes,
you had to set the ballot up right. You had to stick it
in top first, and if you stuck it in upside down, it went
to a separate location on the machine, and then we would take them out
a later date and run them back to the marine seen the correct way.
But I don't know they were got ran through or not, because I never
stuck around. After I got done with my term, I was out the
door. Well, yeah, the thing I've looked for and I don't know
that I've ever put it in the wrong way is I want to see whatever
the number is. I'm curious, you know, so yeah, yeah,
yeah, it makes sense, But I don't know. I can't really say
for sure if those votes were counted or not. I didn't It wasn't my
job to get incorrect ballots out of machine, right, I get again,
I don't know. I mean from a technical Thanks for the call from a
technological standpoint, it makes sense that based on whatever marketings you have there.
Frankly, I could see technologically how it wouldn't matter. But I'm sure there's
a process. Just for a peace of mind, I would recommend folks,
you know, because on the ballot it says if it's right at the top,
but I believe it is. It kind of tells you this is the
way you got to put things in. So but having the ability to run
it back through, I guess that makes sense. But again I don't I
don't work the polls, sir, so I don't know, Tony. What's
up, Hey, good morning, Good morning. I used to work the
polls. This was years ago, and at the end of the night we
had basically run a report off the machine. And the biggest thing we did
was this, we had to balance the balance. If we had a thousand
ballots and the machine said it's five hundred run through, we better have five
hundred ballots left. And I mean there was a couple of times we were
one or two ballance off. But the machine, I think when you carry
it in they tabulate the results out of that. We never got to see
that. But my biggest question is and I've done it for I've requested this
for years. It's why don't that machine spent a receipt to everybody to show
who you voted for? And the biggest argument I got out of it,
well, if you throwed your received away, people would see who you voted
for. And I was like, no, it doesn't say you have to
have your name on it, you know. Yeah, get technology is there
and they should do that. Yeah, we got the law where they're like,
oh, you can't. I photed my ballad every year. So just
so we're clear, And only once has said somebody said something to me because
they could they could see that I was lifting the phone to take a picture
of it, and somebody made a comment and I basically told the dude and
I'm like, yeah, what are you going to do about it? I
said it very politely. I'm like, look, I'm just taking a picture.
I'm not photographing outside of it. And the guy just kind of walked
off. So I wasn't rude about it. I just said, hey,
this is what I do. So but to your question, your question about
why the New Republicans out there handing out flyers and everything, it's simple.
They at work well, look, before I had my house where I've had
it for about ten years now, I you know, voted elsewhere and they
did have Republicans out, which is ironic because it was arguably much more of
a leftist district even than the one I'm in. But it's actually it gets
a little crazier than that when you look at the way that people have the
Board of Elections has manipulated some of the precincts in how they staff like it's
clearly not sitting with the letter of the law where they're trying to balance it.
And this is but this isn't about this isn't about poll workers. When
I say there weren't Republicans, I mean there weren't Republican volunteers outside you know,
fifty yards That's what I'm talking about. Volunteers outside that hand out the
flyers. It's just a joke. I mean they are all I'm a Democrats.
You don't see any Republicans. And I always deduced it with the reason
for that was because the Republicans they had to go to work. Well,
look the previous place, no no, no, I hear you. But
yeah, the previous place that I voted, there were and actually I knew
who it was. I knew the individual just from doing what I do who
was out there handing it out, But I ain't seen it since then,
so but yeah, that's yeah. People people with a job. Man got
to go out and do what they got to do. All right, all
right, we've got some candidates line. Okay, all right, well let's
do this. We'll take a break. I got to get to the Broughton
student Ral decided to do a whole story on this insanity, so we'll get
to the latest. There. Love the show. I feel like I'm getting
threatened, uh threatened days off? Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Well if it makes you feel better, sir, I don't view it as
a thread. I view it as a promise. So we got that,
but let's take a break. Seven seventeen. Hang on primary election day and
a reminder if you're a candidate, you're on the ballot today, statewide,
local, bedrooll whatever it is. We'll try to make a few minutes to
chit chat. So you want to get on the air, you got to
go through the Ross gauntlet there. And let me just tell you he's tuned
this morning because he got jury duty. So you know you can't ask for
a sidebar as a juror. Right. This is what he keeps saying when
he has a question for me. He keeps asking, first, well,
I'm hoping that I'm got a judge by the way, I'm hoping I can
revolutionize the position of juror. You know what I mean. I feel like
the judge isn't gonna like that like Jordan, like you know, made the
game different in the same way. There's so much potential for this position.
Yeah. Yeah, I feel like there's a base set of rules that you
don't following. People are gonna have questions. So anyway, let's let's get
to the phones. We got a candidate to kick things off. Uh,
let's see house. Oh, house detrict for Why do I know fifty nine?
Alan Chappell joined up? Oh? Is this this is John Hardister's district,
right, sir? That you're running for? Yes, running for the
Labor Commission, Yes, sir, Okay, I saw fifty nine. I'm
like, I don't know many of the numbers, but I do remember that
one. So this triad office, Alan Chappel, How you doing, sir?
Oh? Doing well? Thank you guys for putting us on. And
then giving people the up turning. Absolutely all right, So let's talk about
you know, the thing in North Carolina if you sit there and you read
the ballots, is or the poll or I shouldn't say the polling the reporting
on the ballots and the districts is will Republicans keep a veto proof majority one
of those districts? Obviously that's going to be important, is this district.
So let's let's talk about your background, sir, and why you're qualified.
I did well. First of all, I've been married for for thirty seven
years, two kids, five grandkids. Probably the biggest thing I'm looking at
getting involved with this stuff is I want to I want America to look like
I grew up in im with my grandkids. I did home for thirty years
in the Army. I'm a retired Colonel Greenborough, and now I have my
little piece of paradise here in Guildford, Kennedy. Yes, I've got the
horses, and I love this area and I want to keep this area.
Knowing it is you know, some would tell you it sounds like you've seized
the dreams? Sir? Why why do you why do you want to get
involved in all of this specifically, was there a driving issue for you,
Well, again, it did. It's uh, look at the pandemic on
what two points. I don't think any one individual should ever have in the
power to shut down our schools, shut down our churches. I think government
has a role to provide us information. I think we're all adults. I
think we can make decisions based off of that information what's best for us.
But to have landivisual have the power just to shut things down, I think
it's crazy. Do you know, John, I forgive me. I don't
know who's all running the Republican primary for fifty nine. I've had John on
the show. John's an interesting cat because there's a few issues where he arguably
kind of deviated from the Republican norms, and whether you like that or not,
that was that was part of his deal. So I guess I would
ask any candidate going into that seat or anything else, how independent can you
be if you feel like it's the right thing. I think everybody makes those
calculations. My big things and I kind of put it on my website and
my Facebook page. Government accountability. Again, I don't think you behaver shut
the government down. Parental rights I think the big thing here is being able
to have school choice, the voucher system, and I think that also are
in career to homeschooling. Dollars need to follow the kids where the parents want
them to go to school. And then my last thing here, especially in
Gilper County, would be our taxes. The property taxes here in Gilper County
were the third highest in the state. Uh. And I'm not seeing where
that money is going. I'm sure, I'm sure it's going somewhere nice or
just nothing. We see what's your webs what's your website? Just because I
have forty five seconds, folks want to learn more Allen Chapel, Allen Chapel
dot com. It's two p's and two l's correct or one that's correct.
All right, Well it'll be interesting. Alan. I appreciate you calling in
this morning. Okay, CaCO Day Radio program, Primary Day Yep, yep.
Yeah. And we're doing our thing, of course, we're you know,
taking calls obviously and stuff we're talking about. But for any candidates out
there you want to call in, say hey, we'll talk for a few
minutes, feel free to call the show eight eight eight nine three four seven
eight seven four, we grab a caller and we got another candidate, gubernatorial
candidate Del Fallwell, hanging on, We'll get to him momentarily. Emma Europe
first, go right ahead, Good morning, Casey all day. I feel
like I'm in the presence of great and it's how you do one. I'm
pretty Do you mean me or Ross? Mister? I'm telling you, yeah,
you guys make my millennium. I just want to tell you how much
I appreciate it. Well, I appreciate that, so yes and meree yes
and did he? I thought one time I was the most parcastic person in
the world until I listened to you, because I've been following you since the
days of case and Carmen. Oh well, look, never stop trying.
You want to see the sarcastic bubble. We need more people like us,
so absolutely Well, what I wanted to say this morning was I went out
to the post. I got up this morning at five o'clock to make sure
that I was the first person in line. And when I went in,
I had a nice, two nice gentlemen on each side of one lady in
the middle, and they just naturally assumed that I was going to wrote Democrat
and they were like, well, my sister, I'm so glad you're up
this morning. Little did they know when I told them I was unaffiliated.
I was the only person in there. And she asked. She says,
well, you get the pick a party, and I says, and I
will be more than happy to pick my favorite party. And they all started
a grinning. I said, give me that Republican that delegate quation. Why
did they assume me? Were you wearing blue? Is that what it was?
Oh? No, I'm a caregiver, So I was wearing the black.
So that yeah, okay. But needless to say, it was amazing.
And there were no people out there trying to, you know, sir,
to vote anything, because beyond a certain point, you couldn't do any
of that anyway, right right, We got a we got a guy who
we got I can never be first in my district because we have a dude
named Jerry or Gerald, I can't remember. But this this dude brings donuts
and coffee for all the workers every year. I think that guy probably gets
five ballots, so he's he's only well that's his thing. He's got to
be first every year. But uh, it is, it is, it
is interesting the traditions there, But was the process smooth for you? All
that? Very okay? Absolutely? Absolutely? Well. I wanted to be
the first one because I thought it was very important, because there were three
reasons I got up early this morning. Number one to talk to you and
Ross. Number two the vote for Donald Trump, and number three for my
man Mark Robinson, because we're gonna do this thing this year. What are
your thoughts on the Boone Big Beer, Emma, exactly, that's okay.
Just say the word hoax and we're good to go. So okay, all
right, yeah, all right, thank you. I appreciate you calling it,
and I'm glad there are a few fellows sarcastic individuals out there. We
always appreciate it. Absolutely. You know, I think I met you at
a Glenn Beck event about ten years ago. So I've been friends with you
on Facebook for years and I finally became I know who you are? Yeah
yeah, yeah, So you know exactly who I am, don't you?
Yep? Yep? Yeah. So again, you have a great day,
you two. All right, look at that? All right, thank appreciate
it. Look at that not falling for the boone Big Beer. So a
smart woman the Boone, big beer deniers, just disgusting. I just can't
stand it. Really sounds nice, she said, wonderful. Yeah, you
just think on that issue, she might be completely Okay, so funny.
All right, Well, speaking of the ballot, let's get to this Dale
folwell you'll find him in the gubernatorial side of things. How are you doing
this morning, sir? I'm doing fantastic. Thank you for having me.
And I'm the first Republican to announce for governor, the first of file,
and I'm the first name of the ballot. I appreciate people's vote this morning,
But were you first at your ballot location? Actually the vote, Actually,
the voters hired me to do my job as a state treasurer. I
have not been shirking my duties. We have full schedule today convening the Local
Government Commission, and I'll be voting in Winston Salem, which is where I
vote, at five thirty tonight. Okay, Now, obviously, considering your
title is treasurer, you've run for state office. Judging by the number of
votes you got, you know, folks folks like you there. What you
have the record I think for state wide votes or something along those lines.
But what about why it was different to run for governor than treasurer. As
you've been cruising through the one hundred counties tale Actually it's not different at all.
What I'm finding is that people are exhausted. People my age don't even
recognize their Republican Party anymore, and the young people don't even know what Republicans
stand for. And I'm a candidate for governor because i want to return the
Republican Party back to what it was when I joined it only fifty years ago.
And that is conservatism, which means to save and every North Carolinian is
conservative in some way common sense, not so common courtesy, which means we're
going to answer our phones at state government, humility, admitting when you're wrong,
and ethics effis is what you do when no one's watching, and when
the powerful forces I want you to look the other way. I've been the
best treasurer that money can't buy. I'll be the best governor that money can't
buy. And I'm the only candidate on the ballot who has gotten more votes
than Donald Trump did in the last two presidential elections. What do you think
the biggest fundamental problem with the Republican Party Maybe not just the internal workings,
but the way it's perceived. Counting on the fact that obviously there's going to
be some bias in the way the media portrays it. What do you think
the biggest fundamental change is that's needed. Are counterfeit conservatives people who get on
your show and talk about one thing and then there are four things before they're
against them, and then they're against things before they're for them. The second
thing is that, you know, people have been afraid to explain what conservatism
really is. And lastly, I think the biggest problem is that and we
see this all across the state. We had a county north of Winston Salem
one hundred and sixty eight Republicans change their party to unaffiliated because of the majority
of people do not want their name on the back of a name on the
back of their jersey because of counterfeit conservatives. And people have always known me,
whether it's five am in the morning or eleven at night, They've always
known that when they think about what I'm doing on their behalf as either the
keeper of the public purse or the governor of North Carolina, that I'm doing
the right thing. And that's the biggest problem is that we have counterfeit conservatives
who do not govern conservatively, and they've turned our party into hate versus hope
and rage instead of courage. And it's ironic rage is inside the word courage.
But my wife Cynthia, who will make a great first lady, it
reminds me that COO you R means from the heart. It's not enough just
to say that there's a problem. Eventually somebody has to fix it. What
do you think do you think there are things to be rageful about? Because
I look, obviously not when you get away from the candidate stale, but
people calling in heart strings and purse strings motivate those phone calls. Things people
feel passionately about the way that COVID was handled definitely draws ires. So I
guess my question is are there things maybe you don't feel rageful about, but
things you are angry about where it doesn't have to dominate the totality of your
attitude, but happens to coincide with the folks that you're asking for their vote?
What what bugs you? What bugs you, sir well? What bugs
me is the lack of confidence in government, and people don't think they're vote
secure. They don't think their vote matters. And no, I didn't say
separate the two words. I said put them together. Take the rage and
put the heart into actually fixing the problem, So that means courage. Secondly,
you know people can't get their phone answers. Nobody calls their state government
to book a cruise. They call it because they have a need. And
as a motorcycle mechanic and a blue collar person, you can't fix a motorcycle
that you can't see and you can't hear. And if you can't answer your
phones at state government, that means you don't know what the problems are.
If you'll know what the problems are, you can't solve them. So it's
crime and public safety, it's illegal immigration, and it's Board of Elections,
it's d m v D AT. These are all cabinet level positions that report
to the governor. And as I said on your show in the past,
the root word of governor is the govervine. It is a verb. And
I look forward to being the nominee this time tomorrow and look forward to beating
the Democrat nominee in November. What's your what's your website? Deale? It's
Dalefallwell dot com. People can go contribute an to our campaign. There's no
gaps between my personal life, my personal checkbook, our campaign finance life,
or my governmental service life. So every dollar they contribute to Dalefallwell dot com
goes, you know, for its intended purpose and they can learn more about
me, and I think the best thing on Dealefallwell dot com. And when
you go to about Dale, there's a letter there from my wife about what
she thinks about me after thirty five years, and also an article that just
came out Governing Magazine where I was said to be one of three people in
America who can actually govern like an adult, myself, the governor of Iowa
and the governor of Tennessee. And you can find all that at Dale Folwell
dot com. You know who your wife' voting for? Do you have that
conversation or you just go, hey, I put thirty some years into this.
I mean, I don't know. I'd never been in that position where
I gotta like check, so I don't know how that conversation. I mean,
she's she's been a great supporter on this campaign. She actually she has
two jobs back in Winston Salem. She's the most beautiful two hundred fifty year
old, one year old woman you've ever met. Because she works at Old
Salem, so she dresses up in the period. Ye really, really,
I didn't know about of the Moravians. And she's also a muddy sneaker.
She takes fifth graders out in the woods and teaches in biology and she's in
four bands. So she's going to be a fantastic first lady and she's been
my first lady for thirty five years. Does she work at that pub over
there? I admittedly that's my favorite part of Old Winston over there. So
actually she works at the single Brother's house. Oh okay, all right.
And by the way, for any of you guys listening and you're new to
the area and you've never been over checked out Old Winston, that is that's
a good time of the Old Salem, I should say. Yeah, that's
a cool thing. And it's right near downtown and I'm the number of people
don't know that crazy to me. But all right, Dale, Well,
good luck today, sir. I appreciate you calling in this morning. Okay,
thank you for having me on, and I want to thank all your
listeners for their vote today. First name on the ballot, Dale Fallwell,
thank you, all right, very good. Dale Fallwell there on the Cacoday
radio program, and he ain't running for office, but he does have good
news. Ken Boone from the Weather Channel. Ken, how are you doing
this morning? I'm doing well. Another day today with temperatures in the seventies,
sunshine mixing in of the clouds today, and temperatures expected to top out
in the low to middle part of the seventies. That's between ten and fifteen
degrees above average, a little cooler, with some rain headed our way,
however, cloudy sky's here tonight, late night showers, mid fifties, cloudy,
cooler with rain tomorrow. High temperatures in the middle part of the sixties.
Back up into low seventies Thursday, with sunshine and then a chance of
showers again as we look towards late Friday into Saturday, finishing up the weekend
on Sunday with some sunshine and cooler temperatures. Highs on Sunday right around sixty
degrees. Man, you were doing so well and you threw that rain in
there. Come on, guys, just cost yourself the vote, all right,
we'll talk in an hour, Sir appreciate it all right, and we
got more of your calls coming up. KCO Day Radio Program, PCO Day
Radio Program. There are a couple stories I'm gonna have to kind of fit
in this morning because we got the audio pulled all that, so we'll kick
that off here in the next hour. We have a we have a maligned
future social justice advocate, but there's there's an issue, so I'll get you
details on that. Let's chat with one of the nine thousand people running for
lieutenant governor. You know him because we've talked to him on the show a
few times. He is the sheriff of Rockingham County, Sam Page. How
are you doing this morning, sir man. We're doing great. Hey,
today everybody should be out voting early and throughout the day and we're hoping for
some great results this evening. Yeah, how do you even begin to like
dig through the I joke that there's nine thousand, but what is it?
There's like a dozen people running for lieutenant governor on the Republican side, So
from there eleven people, yes, eleven? Yeah, how do you cut
through that mess? Well, you know, I come from from the law
enforcement profession. I've worked as a sheriff for a service citizens in my county
for twenty five years. I'm not a twenty six years share. I've got
to be doing something right there. My citizens believe in me, and I
want to take what I've learned to share and take that to the state level.
Have you have you thought of arresting your opponents and prosecuting him? I
hear that's he. That's hot right now. So No, I've met my
opponents over the past eight and a half months and twenty four thousand miles.
I've traveled across the state, meeting so many people. But No, hadn't
thought about that. What do you you know? Rockingham County is an interesting
cat just you know one obviously, you guys, I don't want to say
you deal with unique criminal issues there, but just just you know, with
what's going on with the county, with the closure that we've seen over the
years of some of the employment opportunity, you guys have dealt with some unique
rule struggles from drug issues, math issues, obviously illegal immigrant issues. What
do you feel is the driving issue that you've worked through all of these decades
that Lieutenant governor should be looking at or tackling, especially if it's you.
Well, I think I think one of the important things that I bring to
the table is my background to safety. I mean, the first responsibility of
government is protecting our citizens. And as a shriff, I've worked hard for
you know, like I said, for the past twenty five years, making
sure that I look after the citizens of my county. I've got ninety two
thousand bosses in my county, and as lieutenant governor, you picked up about
ten and a half me and more citizens to look after. But public safety
is the first responsibility. And also you know, as lieutenant governor, you
know c you serve on education boards that are very important in the state.
And because you know you're you're supporting the efforts to educate our kids in our
future of our country, future state. He can't scream off with his head.
By the way, you don't even know. For those of you who
are, I guess you're just joining it. Ross finally got a jury duty
summons, and way too many people are excited about this. Ross is ecstatic.
I'm just gonna I've been waiting my entire life. He's extainted. I
don't want to get out of it. I want to sit in the jury
and I want to deal out justice. Yeah, so Kyle wants to know
if at any point you will scream off with his head and film it for
for us. I don't feel that that would be appropriate, sir. No,
I don't think that'd be good because I want to I want to,
like, if I can't expand this to be like a professional juror, you're
not going pro. I'd like to go pro. I'm looking for it,
like the book deal afterwards, they'd be great. It's like twelve dollars a
day. So you realize that, right, I think I can negotiate for
more. I don't think you can. I don't even know if you're allowed
to do a book deal on cases you adjudicated. I don't think that's a
thing, but whatever, I don't know. You saw you remember how excited
that juror in Georgia was that she got to adjudicate the Trump thing. So
look, some people get really motivated. So so that you know that's one
thing going on all it's also primary election day, so we got that going
on. Letting candidates call. You got an hour to go, so you
want to get on the horn. You can do that. But I do
have some stories I got to talk about including this, and then we'll get
to phone calls here in just a moment, So fear not. Let's see
people send me all their jury stuff. I've been called five times, had
to actually go for Do you actually make it on a jury? You never
made it on a jury? Yeah, that sucks. Yeah, I they're
gonna look, they're gonna call you down there. Might as well make it
worthwhile doleso justice. Though totally understandable. Ross is in the three hundreds for
those of you wonder in his jury numbers. So yeah, probably not gonna
pan out, but hey, you never know, absolutely could for you know
what, you're on a high profile murder trail doling out justice. I'm assuming
you're going for Orman. Does that mean I'm like in charge of the jury.
Well, no, I think the laws of the rules of court are
what guide the jury. I guess you're the one who fills out the form.
If that makes you feel any better. Could I be the only one
on the jury. Okay, Well that's what's called a bench trial, and
you're not a judge, so I've got the winks. If I guess,
if you convince all the jurors to basically follow your lead, then you can
do it. So anyway, that's the thing. Also this I was very
interested to see that this became its own news story because I have some questions.
All right, So Michael Barlow is the lead line of the story from
WRIO. Michael Barlow is excited to graduate from Broughton High School. Okay,
dreams of becoming a lawyer. I mean, if that's what you want,
feel free. However, the senior is already facing Oh, the self proclaimed
activist is ready for the challenge. So this is the first paragraph. So
dude wants to be a lawyer. It's a high school kid. That's fine.
Whatever I make. You know, I'm making lawyer jokes. But sure,
sure the fam would be proud. That's cool. But then the next
line, the self proclaimed activist says he's ready for the challenge. However,
the senior is already facing a very different challenge, racism. Here we go
to the audience and the high school senior. Michael Barlow received multiple direct messages
on Instagram using the N word. One part of the message says Barlow is
quote an enemy of white people. The next message says, quote, I
seriously hang you from a tree. Then tells him not to come to school.
Despite the threats, Barlow still showed up for class today today. I
didn't have to do any fighting. My brin community definitely circled around me,
and they told me that they didn't stand with what was said. Right,
okay, And look, here's the deal. Nobody. I shouldn't say nobody.
Most people don't stand with what was said or typed or allegedly typed.
Most people don't stand with that, and arguably there is a possibility that the
author doesn't necessarily think that either. And I will be abundantly clear I don't
have tolerance for that in any way, shape or form. Not because I
feel like I need to go on the record, but because common sense would
dictate that that's not where most people are at. And I don't know this
kid. I don't know how he conducts himself, his relationships at school,
any of that. That being said, not a fan and he shouldn't have
to deal with that. And even though I don't like anyone who claims they're
going to be an activist, and I don't care which side, I just
feel like, as a high school student, you got enough going on then
I don't know about that However, again, I find it very interesting because
people under the cloak or the guys of anonymity on the Internet saying things that
either they do believe or don't, but they say something shocking to get a
reaction is not a unique concept. I don't know that you'll ever fully eliminate
it, because you're dealing with immaturity, You're dealing you know, you deal
with kids, and that's understandable. But I don't know that people need to
officially go on the record as I would feel, you know what I'm saying,
Where everybody's got a everybody's got a way in, like maybe somebody has
beef with with this individual for any number of reasons. It doesn't have to
migrate to that, and it shouldn't. But also, it's not a unique
circumstance where somebody through anonymity uses it to bully or entertain themselves in a very
twisted manner. Right. It's it's not a unique situation, is what I'm
saying. So that's what's got me head scratching as to why this required the
top of the fold news coverage that I saw. But with that in mind,
let me let me hit the second piece of audio here give you a
little more d tell on this particular story. Sounds like probably would be able
to get to the bottom of this, right. Somebody on social media,
even if they're using a false name, there's going to be indicators within the
account, who they follow, who they interact with, should be able to
get to the bottom of this. Right. From what we've heard from the
school, they believe that it's one person behind the account itself. This unproclaimed
activist has dreams of going to law school. I guess I was getting made
fun of for wanting to go to law school and wanting to go to an
accredited school. I don't really see how that's something for me to be ashamed
of. Right, let me just point this out. It's not. I
mean, although, to be fair, you may be wasting your money depending
on what exactly you're hoping to accomplish, but you can't ged your way into
a you know, a lawyer's certificate or or degree, so you're gonna have
to do something. But you know, also to some extent, you know,
some kids are crabs in a bucket, man, Some kids are crabs
in a bucket, and they're gonna make fun of it. But a lot
of it a lot of times there's more to the story, meaning like,
are the people who are making fun of you over that the very same people
that maybe you have pre existing beef with? Okay, do you know what
I'm saying? Where Like, ultimately their attention span isn't going to be enough
to hate you permanently over it, but they're just looking for something to say.
But I'm more interested in the social media stuff. Right The school's telling
you it's one person, but I don't know they're indicating they know who that
person is. How did we get to one person? Tell me more?
I search for the social media account myself. It appears to have been taken
down. The school says it's investigating the incident. A message was sent to
Broaden High school families this morning. It says, quote students involved in making
racist comments and or threats will be disciplined in accordance with district policies. Instances
of race and threats of physical harm have no place in our school community.
By the way, over the years, I have been sent dozens and dozens
of screenshots by parents whose kids have received pretty horrific messages, and quite a
few of them have had a racial component. Albeit one that is perhaps reverse
from the situation that the media tends to cover. Right where they threatened to
quote murder your cracker ass, which is one that I got I don't know,
two months ago where and it was it was part of a string of
messady and by the way, it was from an identified account and specifically from
a student at Millbrook High School who is a white student. And I know
this because the student threatening him kept referring to him as white. But with
that weird spelling, the whyt thing right wholly inappropriate and didn't really seem to
draw a lot of attention from school officials up there. I don't think we
did the story, but I did see the text messages and again went to
an identified account. Here we're dealing with an account that one doesn't seem to
exist anymore. And two is described as let's see here a new Instagram account
with one follower, which is not there anymore, and it was the focus
story by one of our news outlets. And isn't that's interesting? I guess
would either way to say, do you know what I mean ross when I
say that that's interesting? Kind of interesting? Yeah, Because a singular user
social media account is unfortunately the bane of the social media existence, right,
people use it. You know. Obviously it's different from the way that they
bullied or said things when I was in high school, when many of you
were as well. We just didn't have access to this. But that being
said, I don't know how you begin to turn this into a a top
tier story with a single you know, with an incident from a single use
Instagram account and you don't have some questions. But I would say the official
position, at least of me is I I hope they saw this ross.
Do you hope they solved this? I beat up about it. I hope
they really investigate it and expose whoever's behind it. Yeah. Yeah, they
need to do a deep dive and really figure this out and not stop until
they figure out who is behind that account and whoever it is they broadcast and
show it to everybody. Yeah, good person, Yes, yes, we're
gonna do a story. You know, You're absolutely right. They should put
in the work, figure out who it is, and then once you know
who it is, you should broadcast it with the same vigor and intensity as
this story is is is what what we hope? So I don't know,
make what you will of the story, but I felt that a single now
taken down Instagram account with one one follower, I'm curious and by the way,
whomever it is should also be punished. Would we agree with that whoever
you find to be the account holder should face whatever the adjudication. And you
would think it wouldn't be the hard to figure out who's behind that account.
Maybe or maybe you'll never know. I'm not super big on the Instagram.
I'm assuming they require a phone number and an email address, right like most
of the social media, So not that that, you know, can't be
covered and make it hard to find. But we're gonna run out and do
a story on this. Then I want to hear the follow up. That's
all I'm saying. So all right, Bethany, what's up? How you
doing? Hey, I'm good, how are you. I'm just we're just
helping to solve the solve crime. That's what we do. So well,
that's great, that's great. I did want to remind everybody to make sure
they get the correct balance. Today. I'm in Casle County and they tried
to give me just school board and commissioner and when I when I'm wait,
hold on, was that an ballot. Okay, yes, yes, I'm
registered as unaffiliated, but I asked for a Republican ballot. Okay, okay,
Well yeah, and I hear, I hear that I'm an unaffiliated voter
too, and I think sometimes they look at it and I'm just saying,
I don't know if there was malice necessarily in that. Well. Well,
the lady that checked me in and checked my d and all, she wrote
down that I wanted a Republican Republican ballot. And then the lady that was
giving me the ballot tried to give me just the unaffiliated one. And I
explained to her, ma'am, I'm here to do the presidential and the governor
and all that. I want a Republican ballot. She said, well,
you only get this ballot because they haven't decided who the presidential nominees are going
to be yet for the primary, ma'am. That's why we're here. What
are they still? Were they drawn? I mean, how does that work?
Yeah, I don't know, I don't know, but I told her,
I said, I want the ballot that has the president and the governor
and all that on it. And she said, well, they're not decided
yet. So I can't give you that. I said, I knew your
Republican ballot, so they had to get the supervisor to come over there,
and he gave me the correct ballot, but my husband had already voted and
had the wrong ballot. So people just need to make sure they're they're getting
the right ballots today. I'm assuming you right, you wrote Ross's name in
regardless, right, sure, sure, I'm sure he'd be a great juror.
Yeah, I feel like there's going to be an execution night. All
right, Well, yeah, so good reminder. You know, every step
of the way, keep your eyes peeled and if something's wrong, say something
so exactly. All right, cool, cool, Well I appreciate you got
it all worked out there. So what a mask man? Yeah, I
mean that just sounds more like somebody doesn't you know, isn't a hip to
the rules, clear on the rules, but you know, the reality is
you can't train on the job for this, so you know, keep your
keep your eyes peeled, and there you go. People keep sending me how
to get out of jury duty stuff. You don't understand. He wants this.
He's not joking. Also, sir, I don't believe you wore a
T shirt that said who farted on it? But if you did, I
do want to see a picture, so FYI on that? All right,
let's do this. We'll take a break. More of your calls on ballots
and the Broughton story and everything coming up hanging on. You can send whatever
emails you want, you can call a yellow or color. I'm not going
to tell you who I'm voting for because I don't indorse. And if you
don't know who you're voting for, maybe you shouldn't vote. How's that I'm
teasing slightly, But you should do your research and then you should go vote.
Yeah, I don't know. It never sat right with me. I
mean, I feel like everybody else in the world of journalism wants to tell
you who to vote for. I mean, if you watched five seconds of
CNN or MSNBC yesterday, they were absolutely apoplectic, app a plectic over the
Supreme Court ruling. David French New York Times wrote a piece He basically he
basically said that the you know, along the lines of Supreme Court's corrupt.
They don't know what they're doing. They're misreading the Fourteenth, they don't understand
I would remind you that the voting yesterday, literally Supreme Court ruling was nine
to nothing Keith Oberman. Once it disbanded, I mean, everyone was out
of their damn mind. The only thing that was remotely interesting or humorous was
Nicky Haley on MSNBC. Explanation was not they didn't like Donald Trump. They
said he participated in an erect. Excuse me, CNN, I said MSNBC
CNN's Jake Tapper. There. Explanation was not they didn't like Donald Trump.
They said he participated in an erection. And I have to insurrection, sorry,
and the insurrection and I have to say, I got up at five
this morning to do Casey Hunts Show, and I'm exhausted. No, it's
fine, dude. Just like the only time that I ever find humor in
this is when people get that word wrong. But anyway, back to this,
So MSNBC and others, they brought in lawyers, they brought in elected
officials, you know, pieces of garbage like Jamie Raskin, who look,
he knows what he's got to say when he comes in there, but it
doesn't make it any smarter. I am working with a number of my colleagues,
including Wi Wasserman Schultz and Eric Swawell to revive legislation that we had two
set up for process by which we could determine that someone who committed insurrection is
disqualified by section three the fourteenth Amendment. And the House of Representatives already impeached
Donald Trump for participating in insurrection by inciting it. So I would point out
that Jamie Raskin, and this is what is so dangerous about it. It's
not just a partisan piece of garbage, but rather somebody who I guess fails
to realize, fails to realize that there is a process for determining if somebody
did something right. There is that And you can think it's a flawed process,
and you can look at the you know, as many Trump supporters are
looking at the indictments that are going on right now and they feel that the
process is being abused, And you can make that argument. That's fine,
but it's a pretty cut and dry process in at least getting you to where
the discussion should take place, and that's a court of law. And I
would point out that Donald Trump has never been charged with insurrection. So what
you got, what you convicted him of, is you quote unquote convicted of
is not a judicial proceeding in the standard rules of criminal justice. Right,
And that's evidence by the fact that even if you guys found him quote unquote
guilty of whatever the offense was, and actually insurrection isn't even technically what that
was about, right, not in the standard case laws. Standpoint, you
still can't meet out what is the prescribed justice? Do you know what I'm
saying? Right, you can't give him five to ten, you can't strip
voting rights, you can't give him time. Certainly you can't do any of
that stuff, and failure to recognize as a traditional court proceeding versus the kangaroo
court, which you know, at the end of the day, Congress is
is uh, at the at the very best, being wildly disingenuous. But
look that's what he's got to come on there and and uh, you know,
tell the the knuckle dragon moonbats who are super super upset by what happened
yesterday. And it went on and on and on from you know, disband
the Supreme Court to all of the the leftist jurors are in fact, you
know, they're in on whatever the thing is, the conspiracy or or any
other word the rendering useless, as I saw one long maker refer to them.
But you know that's what's going to keep keep people tuned in. Yes,
yeah, yeah, yeah, And you know, now it's a very
good point. So what Raskin is saying too is remember the House is the
grand jury. The Senate is the jury, even though they're not a jury,
and the reality is the Senate didn't find him guilty. So yes,
very fair point. He keeps calling his yellow Ross literally, Biff Tannon keeps
writing into the show, all right, that's funny, all right, let's
do let's do this. Yeah, so they were just one more audio cut.
I'm sorry. I was setting up for that and I got distracted.
But you know, this is the kind of studious journalism, and you know,
legal expertise that you retreated to. Should you have the misfortune of,
I guess flipping by MSNBC and accidentally leaving it on you, how big of
an effect do you think the Supreme Court will have on the general election?
This Court having an influence on the twenty twenty four election. And here's why
that's a dumb question. What you should be asking is how much effect do
you think this process is going to have, because arguably that's where it's going
to have more effect because the people who are butt hurt over the fact that
they didn't get Trump in this, they weren't going to vote for him anyway.
What you should be asking is the people who maybe don't like Trump but
also don't like Biden, and really their vote could go either way, what
impact will it have for them? And I would argue it's probably not insignificant.
I think people looked at it, even people who weren't inclined necessarily to
vote for Trump. If Biden was just at the very least coasting along and
things weren't on fire, I think it definitely influence them to go, you
know what, this ain't right. And now I'm more suss, as the
kids say, of anyone will participate in this. Well, I think this
court is exactly where it doesn't want to be and doesn't need to be,
and that is right in the middle of an election. Not since bushby Gore,
but we've seen a court has had this many opportunities to interfere in the
election going forward. By the way, what a take, what a take
to have that is, by the way, a member of Congress, just
so we're clear, what is it? Congress, Well, it doesn't matter.
She's an idiot. But yeah, so her concern is that somehow they're
in the middle of election interference or whatever you want they call it. And
of course the reality is that's kind of what people have been barking about this
whole time. Man, And yet here we find ourselves. All right,
hang on, callers, Oh, we got all right. Christian Costello's joining
us. He's running for District six. And tell you what, hang loose.
We'll get you and Joel and everybody in in the next segment. But
first let's get Ken Boon from the Weather Channel. What's up, sir.
Good morning, Another mile day for us today, the last couple of days
we've seen temperatures in the seventies. We'll be right back up there today,
sunshine mixing in with the clowns. It'll turn out to be a pretty nice
day as temperatures climb up into the low to middle part of the seventies.
A little bit of change as we head through midweek. Federal system is going
to bring us a chance of rain late tonight through much of the day tomorrow,
and it will be cooler tomorrow as well. Mid fifties tonight, mid
sixties tomorrow, back to sunshine Thursday, right back up to around seventy degrees,
and then as we look towards the end of the week, chances showers
late Friday, Saturday, back to sunshine Sunday a little cooler though by the
end of the weekend with heist right around or just over sixty. All right,
thank you sir, And well, we'll either chat with you. Are
you with us tomorrow? Je Jeff may tomorrow and Thursday. I'll be back
Friday. Okay, cool, cool, We'll talk to you then, and
Jeff Bellinger joins us next. Plus your calls. Hang on, boy boyd,
I got a doozy of a story coming up. Plus your calls.
But first let's check in with Jeff Bellinger from Bloomberg News. What's going on,
Jeff, Good morning. Casey stocks retreated to start the trading week.
Some big tech shares where drag on the market. Major averages had Monday losses
ranging from a tenth of a percent to four tens percent. Looks like a
soft opening ahead. The ADO futures are down one hundred to forty three points
at the moment. It's time to update your multi billionaire scorecard. Jeff Bezos
is back on top. The Amazon dot Com founder is once again the world's
richest person. Elon Elon Musk lost the title he held for the past nine
months. After Tesla shares fell seven percent yesterday's trading, Apple shares are under
some pressure in pre market trading. That stocks down more than two percent at
the moment. So far this year, Chinese sales of iPhones are down twenty
four percent. Targets adjusted fourth quarter offit top Wall Street estimates. Comparable store
sales fell, but not quite as much as feared. Target said the decline
in store traffic has slowed and it is continuing to make improvements to its inventory
management. Target shares are up nine percent. Pre market got a late word
that Bowflex, the home gim equipment company, has filed for bankruptcy. It
is found a buyer not only feels a bit like spring because of the warm
temperatures, it's starting to look a little like spring, but not in a
good way. Gasoline prices are starting to rise. The Energy Information Administration says
the average nationwide price of regular rose a little more than three percent last week
to three twenty four a gallon The East Coast average is a penny higher in
Casey. The growth may be slow for the sports streaming service that Fox,
Walt Disney, and Warner Brothers Discovery plan to launch this year. Fox CEO
Lachlan Murdoch says it could take five years for the service to sign up five
million subscribers. Murdochs discussed the sports service at Morgan Stanley's Technology, Media and
Telecom conference yesterday. Casey, I'm not making funny because we're all human,
but elon lust is hilarious to me, so I correct myself. But no,
I know you didn't. I could understand. I can understand that's funny.
But I'm gonna I'm gonna go with that here. Okay, thank you
for Army. Sorry, Jeff oh Man. Yeah, yeaheah. That's great.
Here's what's not great. I can't believe what I'm reading here. Ross,
do you know what the VJ Day photo is? Which is a reference?
All right? So one, I have a very immature thing where I
don't call it VJ Day, but I have two j's. I'll let you
figure it out. But the photo is most people don't know it's called.
That is the iconic photo of the sailor in Times Square following the end of
World War Two, and he's kissing that nurse. Would you agree that that
is one of the most icon ake World War two photos out there, right,
Yeah, that Ewajima, Yeah, a handful of others. Well,
if you, in fact are in a Veteran's Affairs office, hospital, any
any building that falls under that plane. A memorandum was sent out banning the
display of the VJ Day in Times Square, which is the full name of
the photo. Yes, banning facilities within the Departments of Veterans Affairs. The
reason the photo, according to Reman Nelson, Assistant Undersecretary for Health for operations
within the because the photo quote does not promote a culture of inclusivity and awareness.
It's not diverse enough, I guess because it's a white sailor kiss and
white. This is where we are. That photo in a memorandums like people
have put work into this. You can't display it at veterans offices because it's
not diverse enough.
