Speaker 1: Ross. How many how many voters are in the gobblers
Speaker 1: Knob or Dicksville thing or whatever it is? Yeah, total
Speaker 1: of six six and it went three to three. Okay,
Speaker 1: and now they have to they got to fight, right
Speaker 1: Uh Royal, it would be amazing.
Speaker 2: Mean to like a broken like pool que and like
Speaker 2: a like a beaver or something.
Speaker 1: And they're like, only I got two positions open? Uh,
Speaker 1: this is your interview like the Joker. Yes, okay, what's
Speaker 1: the beaver for?
Speaker 3: You can use it?
Speaker 1: You know what a ah that sounds? Oh wait, hold on,
Speaker 1: we're getting word that New York state officials seized and
Speaker 1: murdered their beavers, so unfortunately, yeah, yeah, it's unfortunate. Now
Speaker 1: they're gonna use the pol qu's.
Speaker 2: This is more of the breaking of norms you're seeing
Speaker 2: from the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1: You know, I have a theory and I I had
Speaker 1: you know on that front. I have a theory and
Speaker 1: I have intentionally not run it until today. I'm gonna
Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you what the theory is today and
Speaker 1: you can tell me anythink I'm crazy or not. The
Speaker 1: Democrat Party and the Democrat elite want Donald Trump elected.
Speaker 1: They're actively working to get them elected. Now. They weren't before,
Speaker 1: but they are now because they realize that from a
Speaker 1: branding standpoint, if Kamala wins, it literally could be destructive
Speaker 1: to the future of their party. But if Donald Trump wins,
Speaker 1: open a few more bank accounts, because inevitably you and
Speaker 1: the media and everybody else will you will attempt to
Speaker 1: and probably achieve amongst a good portion of the population,
Speaker 1: to even if Trump cures cancer and there's world peace,
Speaker 1: to spin it as a negative thing that happened for America,
Speaker 1: because you will have been fundraising for four years off
Speaker 1: everything and you will make money. Do you think the
Speaker 1: Democrat Party fundraised as well if Kamala Harris is the president.
Speaker 4: No.
Speaker 1: And in longer term, I think people will look at
Speaker 1: it and go this is You will have more people
Speaker 1: come over and be like, I just can't anymore, and
Speaker 1: I'm sure they'll not send it a money. So in
Speaker 1: the same way that I absolutely believe the theory that
Speaker 1: in the state of North Carolina, the Republican leadership in
Speaker 1: the House and Senate, if they have a super majority,
Speaker 1: they don't care if it's a Republican governor. In fact,
Speaker 1: it's better if it's not, because then they're the ones
Speaker 1: fundamentally in charge. They can write whatever bill they want
Speaker 1: and who cares what the governor thinks, and then go
Speaker 1: ahead and override it and then boom, you get it
Speaker 1: in there. What do you think of that theory? So
Speaker 1: on the presidential side, she would be injurious to the
Speaker 1: party so much that her getting elected versus Trump being
Speaker 1: in there is a business perspective. Trump being in there
Speaker 1: is better for them. They can whine, complain, they can
Speaker 1: fear monger and talk about AI Immortal super beans coming
Speaker 1: to you know, coming to hitler you and then send you, hey,
Speaker 1: chip in ten dollars to stop the AI Mortal super beans.
Speaker 1: And then idiots at work will be like, you know,
Speaker 1: based off of sound an incomplete SoundBite, will you know,
Speaker 1: go ahead and hit the apple pay and there you go.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you want to get like super depressed,
Speaker 2: like they know that doodoo national debt and inflation financial
Speaker 2: collapse is coming and they want to blame it on Trump.
Speaker 1: You know what. That all fits within the working theory
Speaker 1: here absolutely. But I refuse to believe that the Barack
Speaker 1: Obamas of the world and the Clintons of the world
Speaker 1: aren't art of the mindset that I just laid out
Speaker 1: they're evil the Hillary Clinton's an evil person. I think
Speaker 1: Barack Obama can, and I don't know that I'd go
Speaker 1: as far there, but I do believe that about Hillary Clinton.
Speaker 1: But I also think both of them are smart enough
Speaker 1: to strategize this, and I think that that's the strategy.
Speaker 1: I think, if I'm the Democrat Party and I'm looking
Speaker 1: at what's going on, her getting into office is now
Speaker 1: more injurious than letting him do it. From a financial
Speaker 1: perspective and a future of your party perspective. Prove me wrong,
Speaker 1: prove me wrong. I'm not, but you know, I guess
Speaker 1: you can try. I think that is the I think
Speaker 1: that is the correct take. And if you want, you
Speaker 1: want to get in a little chit chat about it,
Speaker 1: then I'm happy to do it. Eight eight eight nine
Speaker 1: three four seven eight seven four. Here's the other thing.
Speaker 1: Now that I've taken a stick to half the equipment
Speaker 1: of my Greensborough studio, we can settle in and do this.
Speaker 1: It is election day, and as we do round these
Speaker 1: parts and a little yesterday, we'll do today. If you
Speaker 1: are a candidate on a ballot today and you want
Speaker 1: to pop, you want to call into the show and say, hey,
Speaker 1: how you doing a couple questions Russell, do a quick
Speaker 1: little verify thing with you, and we will go from there.
Speaker 1: Have a little conversation, just you know, be a candidate
Speaker 1: within the signal range of the radio station. I don't
Speaker 1: want I want to say, if you're listening to the
Speaker 1: iHeart from Fairbanks, Alaska, God bless you, but nobody's voting
Speaker 1: for you. All right, So that those are the parameters
Speaker 1: and we will we'll make that available throughout the entire show. Okay,
Speaker 1: all right again eight eight eight nine three four seven
Speaker 1: eight seven four. That'll I'll get you there on the show.
Speaker 1: Let's see here. Okay, all right, I just reading this. Sorry,
Speaker 1: Engineering just sent me an email, and I just want
Speaker 1: to make sure that doesn't say there's a bomb get out.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, Boston, Paul's got chokes this morning? Do you
Speaker 1: forget your door key?
Speaker 3: No, I don't know that.
Speaker 1: I I'm not gonna say on the air. We just
Speaker 1: there was a big technological fundamental thing that that they're
Speaker 1: working on with, you know, within on the business side
Speaker 1: of what we do, and it just came back to
Speaker 1: punch me in the face this morning. So it was
Speaker 1: it was, and and we and it's in today's election day,
Speaker 1: and this is the day we're doing it. So but
Speaker 1: also that was partially me apparently misunderstanding something I was
Speaker 1: told of a technical aspect, which I I'm not shocked about.
Speaker 1: All right, So let's go ahead and do this, just
Speaker 1: because I want to get things all prepared for the audience.
Speaker 1: We gotta talk about the Joe Rogan thing. Who ross
Speaker 1: you saw that Rogan endorsed Trump?
Speaker 2: Right, yeah, yes, the first time he's done something like that.
Speaker 2: There is an interview with Elon Musk, right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and then he tweeted it out in uh,
Speaker 1: non ambiguous terms and uh and so the the takes
Speaker 1: I've seen on that is Joe Rogan's done, which is
Speaker 1: a dumb take. Right, you think that you think that
Speaker 1: Joe all of Joe Rogan's audience is going to go away?
Speaker 1: Is that really what? You don't you believe? But I
Speaker 1: couple that with you know how much I hate every
Speaker 1: election going This is the most important election of our lives.
Speaker 5: This is it.
Speaker 1: You don't get this right, It's all over and the
Speaker 1: AI Immortal super beans murder you. Well, you know Elon
Speaker 1: was doing that for three hours on Rogan. Convince me
Speaker 1: that that's true. Convince me that if the elect if
Speaker 1: the presidential election doesn't go the way that you want
Speaker 1: it to, that it's the end of the Republic. Because
Speaker 1: I get really annoyed. We do this every two years,
Speaker 1: mostly every four years, but every two years too, they'll
Speaker 1: be like, oh, we don't take the house. It's it,
Speaker 1: that's it, it's over. And you know how I feel
Speaker 1: about the chicken little stuff. But also there's some really
Speaker 1: extraordinary stuff happening that normally doesn't happen. And maybe it's
Speaker 1: just because of who the candidates are, Joe Rogan and
Speaker 1: coming out with an endorsement. There the cabal of former Democrats,
Speaker 1: and I don't you know, it's not like the former Republicans,
Speaker 1: like the Republicans for Harris who keeps spamming, spam texting
Speaker 1: me with stuff, right they'll send videos of these old
Speaker 1: white guys and they're like, ah uh, I hate Donald
Speaker 1: Trump right now, I'm a Republican. Well good for you.
Speaker 1: I don't know who the hell you are, and I
Speaker 1: don't care. I care that you're spamming my phone, and frankly,
Speaker 1: I hope your power goes out. I don't want you
Speaker 1: harm to you, but I want you to be inconvenience
Speaker 1: for inconveniencing me. But like Elon Musk, Tulsi Gabbard, A Kennedy,
Speaker 1: that's uh, that's those are That's a pretty substantial list there.
Speaker 1: So I don't know. Maybe it is. Maybe I'm the
Speaker 1: one who just doesn't recognize it as anything more than
Speaker 1: posturing it. Don't get me wrong, it's important and there
Speaker 1: are a lot of there are a lot of things,
Speaker 1: but for too often, uh, you know, people talk about
Speaker 1: the uniparty a lot of the stuff that I'm being
Speaker 1: told right now. If you don't vote this way, then
Speaker 1: this thing's gonna happen three years down the road. The
Speaker 1: Republicans will help sign into Hull. So yeah, my salty
Speaker 1: this morning a little bit, a little bit, but it's
Speaker 1: gonna be crazy. However we do it. We'll get Canada interviews,
Speaker 1: we'll watch a lecture return. We may not know who's
Speaker 1: the who won at this time tomorrow morning, which is
Speaker 1: that in and of itself is an absolute tragedy and
Speaker 1: there is no fundamentally okay explanation for that. I don't
Speaker 1: care what election officials to I don't care what anyone
Speaker 1: tells you them saying it's not possible is not truthful.
Speaker 1: It has been possible. It is possible, and if you
Speaker 1: need to make changes to make it possible, then make
Speaker 1: it possible. It is. There is no explanation under the sun,
Speaker 1: valid explanation that you can't maintain a system where you're
Speaker 1: able to get this calculated. Look, money is not an
Speaker 1: object for you. For everything else in the world of government,
Speaker 1: you'll throw, you'll throw. Ukraine will get more money than
Speaker 1: the election than the election funding by a long shot
Speaker 1: this year. It is absolutely doable. But again there's somebody
Speaker 1: sees some benefit there so they don't do it. Six
Speaker 1: for six Aco Day radio program. Hang on, how many
Speaker 1: inflatables do you have up right now? Ross? In all seriousness?
Speaker 1: How many you took down?
Speaker 2: The birthday Bucky? We had the Halloween Bucky up that
Speaker 2: was replaced because Marky's birthday was this past weekend, So
Speaker 2: we had the birthday Bucky up yesterday because the birthdays else.
Speaker 2: I took down the birthday Bucky, and I put up
Speaker 2: the turkey, the inflatable turkey.
Speaker 6: Is it?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 1: Is it a turkey Bucky?
Speaker 2: It is not. I wish they had one, maybe they do.
Speaker 1: How many? How many inflatables do you have from a
Speaker 1: gas station that we don't even have?
Speaker 2: We have Christmas, the birthday, the Halloween. H I think
Speaker 2: we have another one too, just just one to have
Speaker 2: one so we yeah, I think four? Wow, okay, four
Speaker 2: inflatable BUCkies.
Speaker 1: Do your wife have a good birthday?
Speaker 3: I realize?
Speaker 5: Man.
Speaker 6: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Anyway, so did you know Bacon's seasoning?
Speaker 2: It's the best seasoning. I guess just.
Speaker 1: Wanted to randomly tell you that in the middle of
Speaker 1: this conversation that had nothing to do with any of
Speaker 1: that as as you do. Would I do that because
Speaker 1: that's what high level politicians do. Apparently, if you guys
Speaker 1: haven't seen the insanity that is this New York Times
Speaker 1: piece having to do a documenting a an incident where
Speaker 1: Kamala's team decided they were going to go ahead and
Speaker 1: you know, put together another podcast interview. I get it.
Speaker 1: Some people are like, oh, they shouldn't be doing the podcast. No no, no,
Speaker 1: no no no. You get to go wherever you think
Speaker 1: you're gonna one reach people, but two also, it's a
Speaker 1: lot easier to lean on into somebody who's doing a
Speaker 1: podcast versus you know, like it's sixty minutes. Well, Hair's
Speaker 1: campaign doesn't have to lean into anybody whover at sixty minutes.
Speaker 1: They'll do the dirty work, as we've seen. But with
Speaker 1: a podcast, especially at that level, you can kind of
Speaker 1: you can dictate terms to them. Doesn't mean they'll accept them.
Speaker 1: You saw and you saw what that looks like with
Speaker 1: Rogan right right where the Hair's campaign is like, sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: we'll do an interview. We'll do an interview on your
Speaker 1: three hour program, which it takes place in this very
Speaker 1: specific location, but we won't do it there and it
Speaker 1: will only be for a very you know, very short
Speaker 1: window compared to what they normally are. And Rogan said no,
Speaker 1: and then everyone's like, guys, look at that he hates
Speaker 1: women or you know, insert whatever the thing is. So
Speaker 1: I get it, but you also have to understand the
Speaker 1: nature of it that the Harris campaign, the terms that
Speaker 1: we've seen every step of the way, are wholly unreasonable
Speaker 1: in any other journalistic setting. Right Remember remember how this
Speaker 1: all started with them sending questions to those radio hosts
Speaker 1: and then they end up firing the woman.
Speaker 5: They sent.
Speaker 1: They sent prere They they want to pre approved questions.
Speaker 1: This is the garbage you do. However, and I've seen
Speaker 1: every aspect of this over the course of my career,
Speaker 1: right where I've booked an interview and then some and
Speaker 1: and they had the audacity to send me a list
Speaker 1: of questions, not suggestions or press releases, which is kind
Speaker 1: of how you do it. It's a little wink wink,
Speaker 1: nod nod kind of thing, right, they'll send, oh good,
Speaker 1: all right, Well, let me send you the press release
Speaker 1: we just sent out, which is them trying to dictate
Speaker 1: where you're gonna go. But they also recognize that you
Speaker 1: don't have to. You're gonna ask them what you're gonna
Speaker 1: ask with Harris. They they there is an expectation there,
Speaker 1: and it's also very apparent they're prepping her in a
Speaker 1: very strange way. Like I don't know if that's a
Speaker 1: defense mechanism, the the whole Bacon incident. I'll give you
Speaker 1: the full context of it here in just a moment,
Speaker 1: but like, I don't know if that's some defense mechanism,
Speaker 1: if they thought if it's humor, it's you know what
Speaker 1: it sounds like. It sounds like somebody trying to meme
Speaker 1: too hard, do you know what I mean? Where you're
Speaker 1: just like you got her in there. The are so
Speaker 1: if you get if you get a tough question, which
Speaker 1: you want, you know what, No, here's what it is. Ross.
Speaker 1: Do you remember when Lois on Family Guy was running
Speaker 1: for office?
Speaker 2: Yes? I do.
Speaker 1: What was uh? What was her what was her famous line?
Speaker 2: I believe it was nine to eleven, right.
Speaker 1: Nine to eleven. Yeah, And in the episode, if you've
Speaker 1: never seen it, Lois mentions it. She's talking to it.
Speaker 1: I can't remember what she's right and for it, but
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. And she's she's in you know, an auditorium,
Speaker 1: talking to people and they're not paying attention, not really
Speaker 1: that and then she mentions nine to eleven. All of
Speaker 1: a sudden, everyone stares at her, and she gets it
Speaker 1: in her head that you know, if I say nine
Speaker 1: to eleven, they'll just cheer for whatever. She's like, nine eleven,
Speaker 1: nine eleven, and then just keeps doing that, And that's
Speaker 1: that's the It's a really funny episode. I feel like
Speaker 1: the bacon stuff.
Speaker 7: Is that.
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: They're like, ah, she's you don't want to say something crazy,
Speaker 1: say something everybody agrees with. The bacon. Bacon is the
Speaker 1: seasoning bacon. You can make bacon straws. You can make
Speaker 1: bacon this, and and yes that will work. Something people
Speaker 1: enjoy talking about bacon. Ross and I had a bacon
Speaker 1: conversation earlier, big fans of the bacon the case O
Speaker 1: Day radio program. I can't tell, by the way, when
Speaker 1: we get into this conversation, I can't tell if I'm
Speaker 1: more excited or less excited now to see the Gladiator too.
Speaker 1: And if you don't know, oh the controversy that's brewing there,
Speaker 1: we're gonna have some fun with that coming up. I
Speaker 1: know it's election day, and and yes, if we we are,
Speaker 1: we are opening as we do. We got now two
Speaker 1: more hours left at least on my show, opening up
Speaker 1: the phone lines. If you are a candidate running for office.
Speaker 1: Yesterday we had let's see, we had a guy running
Speaker 1: for a Wake County commissioner. We had Michelle Morrows running
Speaker 1: for the state superintendent of Public Education, and we yeah, nice,
Speaker 1: nice conversations there. We will Russell verify to make sure
Speaker 1: it's you. He's got his own wacky system, and then uh,
Speaker 1: we'll we'll we'll chit chat, okay, And throughout all of that,
Speaker 1: we'll also talk about the various stories and and we'll
Speaker 1: make sure that we'll have we'll sit Ray Stagic down
Speaker 1: and make sure we'll do a wellness check on him,
Speaker 1: because holy crap, the cowboys are cursed this year. Holy
Speaker 1: cow So and and by the way, for calling in
Speaker 1: and it is ringing, try keep trying because Ross is
Speaker 1: he's screening others and having to go through verification and
Speaker 1: there's only one Ross. We haven't cloned him yet, although
Speaker 1: it might be a good idea. All right, let me
Speaker 1: get to this. So this is this originated the article
Speaker 1: originated in the New York New York Times. Actually I
Speaker 1: have the New York Post version of it because it's
Speaker 1: not behind a paywall. So and what it what it
Speaker 1: does is it gives you an active play by play. Oh,
Speaker 1: let me give the phone number again real quick for
Speaker 1: the candidates. And by the way, if you are working
Speaker 1: with a candidate, you know one personally, and you're like,
Speaker 1: but maybe they're not listening. They should be, but maybe
Speaker 1: they're not, you know, feel free to call telling the
Speaker 1: phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four and we'll we'll fit him in where we can.
Speaker 1: That's how we roll. But no, we're not doing scheduling anything,
Speaker 1: So you don't call the candidate, can call sit hold
Speaker 1: like everybody else will go through because there are men
Speaker 1: and women of the people and I don't care right left, independent,
Speaker 1: doesn't matter to us. We'll talk to anybody mostly. So anyway,
Speaker 1: let me get back to this. What it does is
Speaker 1: it it shows you that the level of chaos this
Speaker 1: New York Times are the level of chaos associated with
Speaker 1: how they're choosing to make their candidate available. The campaign
Speaker 1: is to make their candidate available is far outside the
Speaker 1: norms of anything I've ever seen. And the way that
Speaker 1: they're prepping her is either really bad or she's really
Speaker 1: really an idiot, like really an idiot, which is you know,
Speaker 1: always a possibility, is a so stupid, Thank you, ma'am.
Speaker 1: What is Boston? What is? Is he drunk on election? Dave,
Speaker 1: don't use words, bro real words, not Boston words. I
Speaker 1: don't even understand what you're asking Boston. Paul could prep
Speaker 1: come a little better for an interview. So she's sitting
Speaker 1: down for an interview with a guy who hosts a
Speaker 1: show called Subway Takes. Okay, it's TikTok and Instagram and
Speaker 1: very popular. I'm not I've seen clips of it. But
Speaker 1: I don't watch a lot of podcasts the rogue. I'll
Speaker 1: watch Rogan stuff if the guest is pretty good, and
Speaker 1: normally not in its entirety, although I did watch the
Speaker 1: Trump and Vance ones in their entirety. I've found that
Speaker 1: whole thing fascinating. So the host wants to talk about
Speaker 1: amongst his questions, he wants to talk about what's going
Speaker 1: on in Israel. Obviously that is a that's an active
Speaker 1: political topic discussion whatever. The campaign clearly does not want
Speaker 1: to talk about that. So the way this normally plays
Speaker 1: out is you ask the question, the candidate will give
Speaker 1: a very concise, quick answer, and then in their answer,
Speaker 1: try to move it to another topic. That's the game.
Speaker 1: Everybody knows the game that does this. That's it. And
Speaker 1: I think they prepped her with something. They thought, what
Speaker 1: could we have her say that won't end up as
Speaker 1: a clip of people going what an idiot? So they
Speaker 1: arm her with tell people how much you like bacon,
Speaker 1: because that's what normal people like bacon. Normal people like bacon,
Speaker 1: why don't you? And then if the vegans get mad,
Speaker 1: I didn't say meat bacon, I just said bacon in general.
Speaker 1: So if you like the fake bacon. Good on you,
Speaker 1: and then you don't end up as a SoundBite forty
Speaker 1: eight hours before the election. But there's a problem. I
Speaker 1: haven't told you who the host is yet. The host
Speaker 1: of Subway Takes is Kareem Rama. Are you starting to
Speaker 1: understand why this is so awkward? That's right, Kareem Rama,
Speaker 1: host of the popular TikTok Instagram show Subway Takes, chose
Speaker 1: not to air the interview. The show routinely features guests celebrities.
Speaker 1: It's it tends to be light, but is not always
Speaker 1: from what I can see looking at a topics list,
Speaker 1: and they kind of mentioned this in the story too. However,
Speaker 1: the dude is Muslim, and so he wants to talk
Speaker 1: about it, and I don't really I don't fully know
Speaker 1: his take on it. Maybe he's like, you know, from
Speaker 1: the river to the sea, or maybe he's just like,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe we shouldn't be funding people murdering each
Speaker 1: other in uh parts of the world, and he believes
Speaker 1: that across the But I don't know, and we won't
Speaker 1: know because the interview didn't air. Because when he broached
Speaker 1: the topic, she turned to him and started trying to
Speaker 1: convince him that bacon is a spice while laughing, Apparently,
Speaker 1: who does that now? I mean, there's not that the
Speaker 1: interview didn't go out, but you took the easiest softball
Speaker 1: thing you could try to spin it to and you
Speaker 1: dropped it on one of like a handful of people
Speaker 1: who you could easily identify. Right, probably, don't you know,
Speaker 1: start talking about and trying to get the host to
Speaker 1: actively get into their thoughts on how delicious bacon is
Speaker 1: if you know they are Muslim, if you know they're Jewish,
Speaker 1: if you know you know, don't get into a shellfish thing. Right,
Speaker 1: you may be wrong, not everybody about you know keeps
Speaker 1: the loll or kosher any of the rest of it.
Speaker 1: But still, why would you do that? And arguably this
Speaker 1: on a a college camp is dei setting. I think
Speaker 1: a student who started who brought up bacon with a
Speaker 1: professor who was clearly Muslim would pro or or vice versa,
Speaker 1: would probably find themselves in a disciplinary action for how
Speaker 1: is this not a microaggression? And again these are your
Speaker 1: I'm playing by her rules. Rama then said he told
Speaker 1: the vice president he wanted to argue against taking off
Speaker 1: shoes on airplanes, which is a topic I admittedly I
Speaker 1: wasn't a hundred like, I don't really know all the
Speaker 1: ins and outs of that whole debate, but it doesn't matter.
Speaker 1: Very light, lighter thing. And then she brings the bacon
Speaker 1: thing up again. Rama when asked, Hey, bacon is a spice, right,
Speaker 1: you know this it's just so delicious, Rama said, I
Speaker 1: don't know, and she looked at him and goes, well,
Speaker 1: think about it. It's pure flavor, at which point Rama
Speaker 1: paused the interview, asked Harris to return to the topic
Speaker 1: of Shoela's passengers on planes. He's giving her a softball,
Speaker 1: and she injected the thing that was the one thing
Speaker 1: you couldn't inject there, I guess. Then, recognizing that the
Speaker 1: bacon topic wasn't going to go anywhere, she then said, quote,
Speaker 1: how about anchovies on pizza? I like Ann Choviys on pizza,
Speaker 1: and Rama said, quote, I am one hundred percent unsure
Speaker 1: on both of those. He said he was already apprehensive
Speaker 1: about the interview, especially with all of the stuff that
Speaker 1: they were trying to do, trying to do with you know,
Speaker 1: this is how it's going to work. Here's the guidelines,
Speaker 1: here's what you can or can't talk about, and so
Speaker 1: he pivoted to the shoe thing away from the Israel
Speaker 1: Israel Gaza stuff, and then he's like, well, we're not
Speaker 1: even going to air this. This is such a train wreck,
Speaker 1: which he should have aired it. The fact that it's
Speaker 1: the train wreck, and her talking about Bacon to a
Speaker 1: dude who clearly is Muslim. If you've watched thirteen seconds
Speaker 1: of him talk about stuff during the show, he does
Speaker 1: not hide it. And they said, quote, well, we had
Speaker 1: told we told Rama that her topic list would include pork,
Speaker 1: which that's just a weird thing. The interviewer and his
Speaker 1: manager say no, they never said that, And they produced
Speaker 1: for the New York Times the email exchange, and it
Speaker 1: doesn't say anything about pork.
Speaker 7: This is.
Speaker 1: Let's see, this is late. So this is I know
Speaker 1: this is a manager or buddy of his, says. Kamala
Speaker 1: booked the spot with a known Muslim influencer. After declining
Speaker 1: to discuss the gods of war, she ambushed him with
Speaker 1: an homage to Bacon. Absolute tragedy, dude, and I don't
Speaker 1: understand it.
Speaker 2: It's so stupid.
Speaker 1: Oh okay, all right, Well that lady gets it, so
Speaker 1: hell if I know what's going on with them, all right,
Speaker 1: it is seven eighteen here on the KCO Day Radio
Speaker 1: program again eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
Speaker 1: seven four. That'll go ahead, and that'll get you on
Speaker 1: the show. Is that? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's right.
Speaker 1: And also we got to look at her her writer.
Speaker 1: You know that you know where the writer is, right,
Speaker 1: all right, So her writer is basically here is what
Speaker 1: must happen for her to be there, which is it
Speaker 1: was actually that was less, that was less problematic. That
Speaker 1: was in fact, it's it's so less problematic that I
Speaker 1: have another story that deals with demands from the New
Speaker 1: York Times staff, which actually are more arduous than Kamala's.
Speaker 1: Like that was the most normal thing about her. They
Speaker 1: didn't roll in and have to have only brown m
Speaker 1: and ms. But apparently over at New York Times things
Speaker 1: are absolutely unraveling, just as they are over at the
Speaker 1: New York Post. And we're gonna go ahead and get
Speaker 1: into all of that. We'll talk Gladiator two, your calls,
Speaker 1: and more baby selling. Damn it, not a month goes
Speaker 1: by somebody didn't try to sell a baby. We'll get
Speaker 1: to all that coming up. CaCO Day Radio program, ROSSI,
Speaker 1: you started an inflatable bragof here's a guy who says
Speaker 1: he's got nine inflatables, sir, it's not a contest, but
Speaker 1: if you want to put them all up, go ahead.
Speaker 1: All right, Well, let's let's get our next guest in again.
Speaker 1: We're talking to candidates. One of those candidates is Alvin Robinson.
Speaker 1: I said district too because for whatever reason, if that's
Speaker 1: what it literally showed on my little screen here, but
Speaker 1: it's actually District twenty six. We're talking to Rockingham County
Speaker 1: n C. Senate Alvin Robinson is a is the candidate.
Speaker 1: To colonists, Now, how are you doing this morning, sir?
Speaker 5: I'm time, sir.
Speaker 7: I hope you are.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, if you get a I need money
Speaker 1: for the whole hole I'm going to put in the
Speaker 1: wall here on illustration. But let's let's get into the
Speaker 1: fun part of this. Let's let's talk to you. You
Speaker 1: got an interesting backstory here as it pertains to COVID.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about why you're running for.
Speaker 5: Seven Yeah, well, I am running for Senate to be
Speaker 5: a part of restoring truth and righteousness to our government
Speaker 5: here in North Carolina. As far as that backstory there, yeah,
Speaker 5: I had worked nineteen years almost nineteen years in public
Speaker 5: safety with Greensboro Fire Department and Guilty County Sheriff's Office
Speaker 5: and as fired back late twenty twenty one because I
Speaker 5: did not adhere to those agencies COVID nineteen policies.
Speaker 1: This was a vaccine? Was this a vaccine?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 5: Yeah, it was a testing policy that basically basically said
Speaker 5: show proof of vaccination or test every week. And my
Speaker 5: sincerely held religious convictions, uh did not allow me to
Speaker 5: do either.
Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, that's it's so weird how they would include
Speaker 1: that in there, thinking that it made it constitutional what
Speaker 1: they were doing, and then when anyone brought forward perhaps
Speaker 1: having religious convictions they were they were just pushed off
Speaker 1: to the side. So how do how do we do
Speaker 1: that restoration? Like, first and foremost the amount of power
Speaker 1: that we hand over to governor in that situation, which
Speaker 1: Roy Cooper, in my opinion, abused and in the court's opinion, also,
Speaker 1: how do how do we how do we stop that
Speaker 1: from happening again?
Speaker 5: Well, it goes back to we the people, you know,
Speaker 5: we one, we need, we need not forget what happened.
Speaker 5: And because I'm not the only one in the public
Speaker 5: safety sector nationwide was not the only sector affected by
Speaker 5: is UH healthcare workers abroad and so many other others.
Speaker 5: And so we the people need to understand that the
Speaker 5: governors are not in control here, but we the people are,
Speaker 5: and our rights are to be protected, that our constitution protexts.
Speaker 5: That constitution is also what holds these governors in check.
Speaker 5: And so we the people must must present that and
Speaker 5: and and we must enforce that, you know, and again
Speaker 5: going back to your original question, why am I running? Well,
Speaker 5: it is time for certain legislators here in North Carolina.
Speaker 5: I'm opposing Phil Berger, who's been in our state legislator
Speaker 5: for at least twenty two years and maybe twenty four.
Speaker 5: You know, it is time for them to go home
Speaker 5: because they're not protecting us. They're not abiding by our
Speaker 5: federal or our state constitution on many fronts. And so
Speaker 5: how do we keep from happening again? Again? We the
Speaker 5: people need to be more involved and not allow them
Speaker 5: to just go and check and and and then allowing
Speaker 5: them to stay in office.
Speaker 1: Your website is Alvin Robinson for the number four NC Senate.
Speaker 1: If folks want to learn a little more, and you have,
Speaker 1: that's where I gleaned the COVID information from But uh,
Speaker 1: let me just real quickly on the law enforcement front,
Speaker 1: just give me your perspective of what we've seen going
Speaker 1: back from you know, the moment George Floyd's story kicked
Speaker 1: off to the relationship that people have with law enforcement,
Speaker 1: uh in the because you still were working in that
Speaker 1: capacity pre COVID. So what what do you think that
Speaker 1: relationship is and is it better off? Is it worse off?
Speaker 1: You tell me from an insider's perspective.
Speaker 8: Yeah, well, again, I've been separated from it for three
Speaker 8: years now and had and working a whole lot.
Speaker 5: But you know, oftentimes as we get away from it,
Speaker 5: as the media uh either gets you know, moves to
Speaker 5: a new story or or or a new narrative that
Speaker 5: you know is wanted to be projected, things get better.
Speaker 5: And so I remember during that time, uh, you know
Speaker 5: that you know, there was a lot of attacks of
Speaker 5: you know, that the police were being attacked and things
Speaker 5: like that. Whether or not, I totally think it's better,
Speaker 5: I'm not hearing a lot of hearing a lot of
Speaker 5: that right now. But again, you know a lot of
Speaker 5: it is media.
Speaker 8: Driven and and and uh, in general, when you're out
Speaker 8: there working, most people are law are law abiding.
Speaker 5: Most people you know will respect that uniform, you know,
Speaker 5: and most officers are not going out here, uh, trying
Speaker 5: to be a threat to the people to stay off
Speaker 5: supposed to be serving.
Speaker 7: You know.
Speaker 5: There there there's other other forces out there that uh
Speaker 5: kind of direct you know, the the climate I might
Speaker 5: say of all that, and when they're when they hush
Speaker 5: up and you know, just let things be usually, you
Speaker 5: know there there's there's more peaceful relationships seemingly.
Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, last question, Uh, if if you were
Speaker 1: elected and you were in a position where you might
Speaker 1: have to uh uh sorry, just someone my call screen here,
Speaker 1: are you pro or against breaking into somebody's home, stealing
Speaker 1: their pets squirrel and euthanizing it. We're asking all the
Speaker 1: candidates right now. So are you pro squirrel murder, sir?
Speaker 1: Or anti squirrel murder? What a crazy story, isn't that?
Speaker 1: I mean, holy cal the saga peanut. So Alvin, Yeah,
Speaker 1: I gotta, I gotta, I got a roll. But thank
Speaker 1: you very much for hanging on and chatting with us
Speaker 1: this morning. Okay, thank you for all right there you go,
Speaker 1: Alvin Robinson, that is okay, all right, Sorry you can't
Speaker 1: rouss and are talking off the air. I'll explain, but
Speaker 1: let me grab another candidate real quick in this time. Here,
Speaker 1: Alan Swain, this is district too. We verified it so
Speaker 1: from the see to the from the border to the sea.
Speaker 1: I guess, Alan Swain, how you doing? This is congressional
Speaker 1: district too, I should say, what's going on this morning?
Speaker 1: How you doing? Alan?
Speaker 6: Doing fine? I appreciate you letting me be on your show.
Speaker 6: We're out hitting all the precincts. There is one hundred
Speaker 6: Congressional District two is about seventy two percent of all
Speaker 6: of Wake County. Of the two hundred and sixteen precincts,
Speaker 6: one hundred and fifty five of them are voting for
Speaker 6: Alan Swayne for Congress.
Speaker 1: Okay, why why should somebody vote for Alan Swain for Congress?
Speaker 6: Well, I actually believe that a US congress person man
Speaker 6: or woman should represent and meet the needs of their
Speaker 6: constituents within their district. Right now, we have a Democrat
Speaker 6: incumbent who pretty much votes with the administration one hundercent
Speaker 6: when it comes to tax and spend policies. She does
Speaker 6: not represent at least fifty percent of our district. With
Speaker 6: regard to how we feel about whether it comes to
Speaker 6: the border. She's voted one hundred percent on every tax
Speaker 6: and spend bill. We have nearly a thirty six trade
Speaker 6: dollar federal debt. She has not voted to help shore
Speaker 6: up or immigration wise close the border. She did not
Speaker 6: vote for HR two in May of twenty twenty three.
Speaker 6: She does not support her seventy percent of the people
Speaker 6: even school choice. She does not support school choice. I
Speaker 6: want to support our public schools systems. Don't get me wrong,
Speaker 6: but I think a person, a child's zip code in
Speaker 6: a poor school districts should not dictate their future career potential.
Speaker 6: And yeah, my opponent, my opponent does not support Title
Speaker 6: nine protecting women in sports. I have three daughters. Uh,
Speaker 6: two of them will not would not have potentially gotten
Speaker 6: their scholarships to college had they been competing against men.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I look, there's a there's a lot there. But
Speaker 1: let me let me ask you this. If your criticism
Speaker 1: of Deborah Ross is and we interviewed her, sir, and
Speaker 1: I got to tell you, she was one of the
Speaker 1: strangest interviews I've ever done. It was like I thought
Speaker 1: it was. It was like it was like I was
Speaker 1: interviewing a speak and say it was really strange. That
Speaker 1: being said, you pretty much outline the GOP voting strategy.
Speaker 1: So if if you think that she's a rubber stand
Speaker 1: for Democrats and you you sound as though you're probably
Speaker 1: in line with everything the GOP wants, where do you
Speaker 1: differentiate where you where you you you go rogue? Like,
Speaker 1: is there an issue where that maybe both sides are
Speaker 1: going to be upset with? I mean, what what's separate
Speaker 1: rates you from just being the other side of the corner.
Speaker 6: Well, I think we need to throw them all. I
Speaker 6: think we have a bunch of career politicians. I think
Speaker 6: we need to start from scratch. I'd rather do that
Speaker 6: than let them keep spending my tax dollars frivolously. We're
Speaker 6: still spending at pandemic levels. We have a massive federal
Speaker 6: debt thirty six points. We're sending six point seven trillion
Speaker 6: dollars to seven trillion dollars a year at pandemic levels.
Speaker 6: Pandemic levels. I will not support a continuing resolution like
Speaker 6: Miss Ross has every time so she can take her
Speaker 6: summer in winter vacations. I'm going to go up there
Speaker 6: to make a difference. I fully support term limits. I
Speaker 6: think we need some fresh, new ideas. I'm not a
Speaker 6: career politician. I'm on Social Security. I don't want to
Speaker 6: even before president for President Trump wanted no tax on
Speaker 6: Social Security. I'm tax going in when I put it in,
Speaker 6: and now I'm tax going out.
Speaker 7: The people and older people.
Speaker 3: Blowing go ahead.
Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I didn't mean to cut you off there, sir.
Speaker 1: I just I'm up again. I'm up against so go ahead.
Speaker 6: I understand people on fixed income ought to keep the
Speaker 6: money they're making. That's why I fully support the tax cuts.
Speaker 6: Right now, a person spending twenty four hundred dollars, we'll
Speaker 6: spend twenty four hundred dollars more of their their fixed
Speaker 6: income revenues if we let allow the tax cuts to
Speaker 6: end in December of twenty twenty five. I want to
Speaker 6: make a difference in Washington. I want to do what's
Speaker 6: right for this district and I will be their fighter
Speaker 6: and boys for district too.
Speaker 1: What's your website real quick? If folks want to learn
Speaker 1: more of your social.
Speaker 6: Media, sure, it's WWWS Swaying for Congress dot com. We're
Speaker 6: trying to make a difference. We're trying to speak to
Speaker 6: the people, and we're fighting to the end of the
Speaker 6: day till seven thirty to night for the polls closed.
Speaker 1: Oh who knows, sir, you may be fighting all week
Speaker 1: depending on when of these turns come in, so we'll
Speaker 1: find out. But appreciate your time this morning.
Speaker 6: Okay, thank you very much. Thanks your Tom, take care
Speaker 6: of you.
Speaker 1: Bet there you go, Alan sway and swaying for Congress,
Speaker 1: all right, raised age. He ain't running for nothing, Nope,
Speaker 1: except maybe starting quarterback for Let's Go. I'm sorry, bro,
Speaker 1: I'm just I physically feel bad for you when I
Speaker 1: saw the have to no, I like, you, don't get
Speaker 1: me wrong, I got friends, their Cowboys fans, and the
Speaker 1: amount of crap that I give him is uh is
Speaker 1: ten times when I would ever give you.
Speaker 6: Uh.
Speaker 1: And I felt and I was texting my buddy, I'm like, dude,
Speaker 1: I want Dak on the field when we beat you
Speaker 1: because I don't want the excuses. So it is a
Speaker 1: selfish thing.
Speaker 9: Yeah, but I mean how long we've been doing this, right?
Speaker 9: And you know I'm not a fan anyway of Dak Prescott.
Speaker 9: So I know Cooper Rushes what five and one is
Speaker 9: a starter? I'm all in, Yeah.
Speaker 1: Okay, and I think he's cheaper. I'd have to look.
Speaker 9: But yes, he's probably a little bit less than sixty
Speaker 9: million year, probably a little less all right, all right.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so you know yesterday, yesterday, first part the day,
Speaker 1: it was I would say it was chili man, the
Speaker 1: Sunken County got a little better in the triad. But
Speaker 1: folks are going to be standing outside today, if they're
Speaker 1: going to be going and voting, let's not douse them
Speaker 1: or a freeze them.
Speaker 9: Okay, no, we're not just a little got it icky
Speaker 9: this morning, I guess is a word. It is now
Speaker 9: some clouds, dense fog advisory for most of the triangle,
Speaker 9: even out near ALDA Man says again Chatham Counties now
Speaker 9: west that you get into the triad, visibilities are ten miles,
Speaker 9: but closer in at RDU right now quarter mile visibility.
Speaker 9: Same thing down further toward the south, believe it or not.
Speaker 9: At Fayetfield real thick fog and point one two visibility
Speaker 9: point one two miles. So some thick fog in spots,
Speaker 9: some scattered light rain as possible early other than that,
Speaker 9: partly sunning it up to eighty try it will stay
Speaker 9: in the seventies tomorrow another day close to eighty for
Speaker 9: the Triangle, maybe some showers Thursday at chance, to showers
Speaker 9: in the upper seventies, Friday in the mid seventies. And
Speaker 9: I really don't see temperatures going below normal here right
Speaker 9: through Veterans Day early next week and not a bunch
Speaker 9: of rain around. We're kind of nickeled and dined with showers.
Speaker 9: Raphael tropical storms gonna become a hurricane. But weekend in
Speaker 9: the golf and head toward the North Gulf coast. Late
Speaker 9: in the week, some of that moisture may get drawn
Speaker 9: up into a front, bring some showers by maybe Saturday night,
Speaker 9: but again in a weakening phase.
Speaker 3: But on this election day, it's fog.
Speaker 9: That's the biggest problem, especially for the Triangle points south.
Speaker 9: That's fog advisory of really not much rain around, most
Speaker 9: of it light and early, and you're eighty degrees if
Speaker 9: you're going out to the polls later today.
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, well then we got folks standing in
Speaker 1: that fog this morning. I'm getting spiral forward, so we'll
Speaker 1: see how it goes and we'll chat in an hour, sir,
Speaker 1: thank you, Okay, all right, seven forty nine Cacoday Radio
Speaker 1: Program Again, we'll do more Cannony calls and we come back. Though.
Speaker 1: I apparently some folks are very upset with the new
Speaker 1: Gladiator movie. I will explain why coming up here on
Speaker 1: the CaCO Day radio program. I'm phone number eight eight
Speaker 1: eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. Wait, somebody's like, oh,
Speaker 1: you let so and so, I don't let Here's the
Speaker 1: deal with the with the politicians. Anybody can call. So
Speaker 1: if you're if you're on a ballot, I don't care
Speaker 1: if you're R or D, or if the audience does
Speaker 1: or doesn't like you. That's the purpose of this is
Speaker 1: to provide that opportunity, the opportunities provided to everyone. That's
Speaker 1: how we roll. And we'll have these conversations and you'll
Speaker 1: notice I'm not asking people even what their party is.
Speaker 1: I'm confident you can probably figure it out. And frankly,
Speaker 1: you should be doing some of your own research, all right, Okay,
Speaker 1: so check this out. Gladiator two coming out, and apparently
Speaker 1: all the historians are mad. Do I expect them to
Speaker 1: get everything right?
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 1: Not necessarily. That being said, Apparently Ridley Scott's also weighing
Speaker 1: in on this too, because he took a lot of
Speaker 1: grief for Napoleon Napoleon. Right, all right, so check this
Speaker 1: out with Gladiator two Ridley Scott. Obviously again it opens
Speaker 1: I think in a couple of weeks, but they've apparently
Speaker 1: ran it by some folks, not just the trailer but
Speaker 1: some other scenes that are in the in the the
Speaker 1: world of history, and apparently they have a few problems.
Speaker 1: The main one though, and I think this is hilarious.
Speaker 1: The main one though. Oh that's great. Sorry, Ross has
Speaker 1: sent me a text I'm going to share with you
Speaker 1: here in just a moment. Excuse me. It's election day
Speaker 1: and you know many folks out there maybe standing online,
Speaker 1: you're going over to do that, you want to hit
Speaker 1: it early, get over to work, or maybe maybe you're
Speaker 1: gonna go a little later in the day, and so
Speaker 1: the spy reports start to flying in. We've had a
Speaker 1: couple of people call this morning. I think we've got
Speaker 1: a third one here. In fact, let me just grab
Speaker 1: this call real quick, because it'll segue into where I'm going.
Speaker 1: Uh where, Yeah, you showed up to vote and things
Speaker 1: were a little different now Not everything is somebody trying
Speaker 1: to do some shenan Again. Sometimes you know there's technical
Speaker 1: issues or user air and you hope they get it
Speaker 1: worked out, and and again I think that the majority
Speaker 1: of the stuff that you see, the you know, little
Speaker 1: the little reports, that's that's kind of what you're dealing with. However,
Speaker 1: other stuff happens too. Let me grab the Craig's call
Speaker 1: here real quick, get his spy report, and I'll explain
Speaker 1: what I mean. Craig, what's up?
Speaker 7: Okay, good morning.
Speaker 4: We're taking the Yeah, so I'll make it quick. So
Speaker 4: my voting precinct is Lynn Rode Elementary. So go there,
Speaker 4: got in line at quarter to six, and one of
Speaker 4: the voting I guess one of the volunteers comes out
Speaker 4: and says, oh, guess what.
Speaker 5: The uh ballot county?
Speaker 7: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, so interesting.
Speaker 4: I said, well, can I wait? He said, Well, what's
Speaker 4: going to happen is your vote will be put into
Speaker 4: a box and then a then an observer from each
Speaker 4: party along with a judge will witness your ballot being scanned.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think that is that's the process here in North
Speaker 1: Carolina as I understand it.
Speaker 4: So okay, well they said, we got a nice person
Speaker 4: coming to fix it.
Speaker 7: It's down.
Speaker 5: So then they had it.
Speaker 4: Fixed, supposedly, so I was able to vote and scan
Speaker 4: my own ballot.
Speaker 1: Cool, then the left.
Speaker 4: Real quick, as I'm voting, I'm hearing an argument going on.
Speaker 4: There's a gentleman across the room from me yelling at
Speaker 4: the election officials because he was told his vote with stolen.
Speaker 4: Somebody voted in his name.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and again, those those are the ones that I
Speaker 1: start to want. Although sometimes you look and you realize
Speaker 1: that there's five persons with that name in an area.
Speaker 1: If they have a popular name, I'm just Devil's advocating, sir,
Speaker 1: because I don't know based like now, it's third hand
Speaker 1: stuff I'm trying to evaluate. But I will let me
Speaker 1: say this and thank you very much for the call.
Speaker 1: Some of this stuff straight up doesn't look right.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 1: So this is the tweet that Michael Wattley sent out.
Speaker 1: He's obviously not, you know, no longer the North Carolina
Speaker 1: GOP chair. He's the he's the top dog there at
Speaker 1: the national level, and he sent the following tweet out. Now,
Speaker 1: this pertains to Pennsylvania, and I said that it's it's
Speaker 1: pertinent to North Carolina. And here's why, because Pennsylvania, obviously
Speaker 1: both Trump and and Harris are that that's you know,
Speaker 1: that is arguably identified as the most important or at
Speaker 1: least in the top two in North Carolina, which is
Speaker 1: why the candidates won't leave us alone. If Harris doesn't
Speaker 1: win Pennsylvania, she can't win without North Carolina. Is the
Speaker 1: math as I understand it based on current polling trends.
Speaker 1: So here's the tweet, Pennsylvania election integrity. Early this morning,
Speaker 1: we learned that Republican poll watchers in Philadelphia, York, Westmorland, Alleghany,
Speaker 1: that's Alleghany's Pittsburgh, Lehigh, Cambria, Wyoming and Lackawanna counties. I
Speaker 1: don't know if those are the most populous counties, they're
Speaker 1: definitely three of them are have to be right, Philly, Alleghany,
Speaker 1: probably Lehigh in Pennsylvania. So these are you know, these
Speaker 1: are the big districts in Pennsylvania. And so they were
Speaker 1: turning away GOP pole watchers. According to Wiley, they deployed attorneys,
Speaker 1: engaged with local officials, and they have finally led them
Speaker 1: into the building. That's the stuff where people who who
Speaker 1: made the decision to deny entry to perfectly legal pole watchers.
Speaker 1: They have a process in Pennsylvania. Everybody knows what's up.
Speaker 1: Those people need to be taken from their in handcuffs
Speaker 1: and charged. That's how you get election integrity. That's not
Speaker 1: an honest mistake, and you couldn't convince me that it is.
Speaker 1: It doesn't mean necessarily somebody wanted to cheat. It's people
Speaker 1: being children. You're dealing with people or being children. They're
Speaker 1: sitting in deals or deep blue districts. Most of those
Speaker 1: Philadelphia obviously Pittsburgh as well, but Philly and the three
Speaker 1: counties surrounding it that were in that list are very
Speaker 1: very blue areas. And so it's likely that the people
Speaker 1: why I'm sure it's more than likely that the people
Speaker 1: the election, the heads of the elections are probably even
Speaker 1: if they're nonpartisan, democratically appointed, okay, or where Democrats are
Speaker 1: doing the appointing. So you get ahead of steam and
Speaker 1: you want to tell the people that you think are
Speaker 1: literally Nazis they can't come in because you think you
Speaker 1: have some sort of flex. You need to be held
Speaker 1: accountable for that. And there's a thousand other things like
Speaker 1: if they tell you to leave and you feel you're
Speaker 1: in the right, get some get a law enforce or
Speaker 1: a trade. Don't raise your voice at people right, just
Speaker 1: say no, I'm in the right here. Let's get either
Speaker 1: law enforce or somebody in here, and let's figure it out, right,
Speaker 1: so you know, ross and never talking off the air.
Speaker 2: Yeah no, if you're if you're a pole watcher, right
Speaker 2: like you said. And they're like, all right, well that's
Speaker 2: the rap. Let's leave. Well, yeah, until you leave, and
Speaker 2: then once I go outside the building, I'm staying at
Speaker 2: that build until you lock it. And then when you leave,
Speaker 2: I'm staying outside that building until the very morning. And
Speaker 2: gilli shit park up in the woods. Yeah right, bring
Speaker 2: bring out the coffee. I ain't leaving.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but now we're done, it's okay.
Speaker 2: You need to go out. We're gonna board up these
Speaker 2: windows here.
Speaker 1: We're gonna bord no, no, yeah, yeah. That's how people
Speaker 1: celebrate electing. You don't say you don't board your windows
Speaker 1: at your house on election day like everybody else. You know,
Speaker 1: you don't put newspaper over the windows to show your
Speaker 1: solidarity with our our wonderful constitutional republic. What's wrong with you?
Speaker 1: That's national?
Speaker 7: Uh?
Speaker 1: Board up the windows so nobody can see inside.
Speaker 2: Day I'm always thinking of They be always talking about
Speaker 2: you know why it's Florida doesn't have the issues it
Speaker 2: used to have because remember Florida used to be like
Speaker 2: Broward County. It was the same county all the time.
Speaker 2: It was Broward County, and it would just they would
Speaker 2: go on and they would count, and they would count
Speaker 2: and they would count, and they would be delayed. And
Speaker 2: Rondes Santis came in and he got rid of the
Speaker 2: woman that was working there because she was come opped
Speaker 2: and it fixed the problem. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, and they did more than that too. They I mean,
Speaker 1: they streamlined a lot of stuff in the states there
Speaker 1: in the state because as of going back to the
Speaker 1: bush Gore stuff. And yet for whatever reason it took
Speaker 1: from bush Gore where that woman was clearly a problem.
Speaker 1: Then too, Desanti's coming in, they still didn't recognize that
Speaker 1: she was a problem. And you remember the teeth gnashing
Speaker 1: with when he ousted her.
Speaker 2: Yeah, of course, because they were trying to frame it
Speaker 2: as like a racist thing.
Speaker 1: It was a racist thing. Absolutely, how dare you raise
Speaker 1: And it's like, I don't anyone could Ray Charles can
Speaker 1: see there's a problem here, And you're right, he did
Speaker 1: have a lot of the changes were made fundamentally first,
Speaker 1: and then it still continued to be a problem. And
Speaker 1: then she's not there, and now it's not a problem.
Speaker 2: You would hope the GOP like they It looks like
Speaker 2: they got it handled in Pennsylvania. The same means to
Speaker 2: go for Fulton County in uh right, in Georgia. Where
Speaker 2: else would you say, uh, Durham, Durham, Michigan. I mean
Speaker 2: these swing states. I hope the GOP is on it.
Speaker 2: And like I said, yeah, po pole Watcher, you don't
Speaker 2: leave it till they leave and when they leave the
Speaker 2: building eastay outside, until the morning whatever, because they're going
Speaker 2: to be coming into Oh, look, we forgot all these ballots.
Speaker 1: We're gonna oh you forgot my keys got to go
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, while I'm in here, let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and get ten thousand ballots counted. What's the worst that
Speaker 1: could happen?
Speaker 3: All right?
Speaker 1: Well again, yes, and I hope that that is. I
Speaker 1: hope that solves whatever the issue was up there. But
Speaker 1: I'm convinced the only way you solve that is you
Speaker 1: arrest the people who are attempting to violate the ability
Speaker 1: of the elections to be carried out under the state statutes,
Speaker 1: and don't let them tell you that they can't, because
Speaker 1: they can. In Pennsylvania, and they can. In North Carolina
Speaker 1: we have we have absolute statutes out there. They generally
Speaker 1: are more intended because it's you know, it's like poll
Speaker 1: workers themselves are not necessarily going to be the ones
Speaker 1: that get into a fistfight over stuff there. Sometimes they do, though, No,
Speaker 1: it's about basically corrupting the process and the ability of
Speaker 1: the process to be carried out properly. If you go
Speaker 1: in there and you are if you are a candidate
Speaker 1: that's in there campaigning too close, they could charge you.
Speaker 1: If you are somebody who's in there actively campaigning voters
Speaker 1: in line or attempting to interfere in any way, shape
Speaker 1: or form with what they're doing, you, as Joe Blow's citizen,
Speaker 1: can be arrested and charged. Why can't those folks, because
Speaker 1: this isn't a whoopsie, this isn't the machine's not working.
Speaker 1: We got to get tech here. I'm one hundred percent
Speaker 1: I'm fine with that. That's the nature the nature of electronics.
Speaker 1: People who use them once every two years, all that
Speaker 1: kind of stuff. But deciding you're not, you're going to
Speaker 1: simply exclude half of the representatives of you know, to
Speaker 1: make sure that they're free and fair. Whether you're doing
Speaker 1: it to be childish or you're doing it to be corrupt,
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. You need to be out of there.
Speaker 1: You are not you know, you are not capable of
Speaker 1: doing this thing that you that you're there to do.
Speaker 1: And if you God help you, if you're some appointed
Speaker 1: or elected election official, you're clearly incompetent and you should
Speaker 1: be discharged from your office. There's no uh, there's no
Speaker 1: there's there's no room not to right now because of
Speaker 1: how crazy everybody is to get this right? All right,
Speaker 1: let me grab this call Ryan, what's up?
Speaker 10: Hey, Kasey, wrong time listeners?
Speaker 3: Uh?
Speaker 10: I just yet, what you said just made me mad
Speaker 10: enough to like call in and say, you know, why,
Speaker 10: why is this a thing?
Speaker 3: Why?
Speaker 10: Why are we still dealing with all of this?
Speaker 6: This is stupid.
Speaker 10: Moving illegal immigrants to battle ground states, moving to sways.
Speaker 5: They just what what?
Speaker 10: When will we wake up and say, hey, you know
Speaker 10: this this is not okay. I think it's starting. I
Speaker 10: think it's starting, and I hope today proves that maybe
Speaker 10: maybe that'll stop or in some form of fashion. But
Speaker 10: history repeats itself every every four years.
Speaker 1: So yeah, but but here's the thing. Let's say that
Speaker 1: the let's say the GOP wins every race today. Okay,
Speaker 1: it's Mark Robinson is governor, Trumps president, the House and
Speaker 1: the Senate or are loaded for bear for the GOP.
Speaker 1: They still have to execute, right that. You still gotta this.
Speaker 1: I gotta do this. And I don't believe as much
Speaker 1: as people want to, I don't believe that there's a
Speaker 1: lot of people in the GOP who have the stomach
Speaker 1: to deal with the immigration issue. As Trump has stated
Speaker 1: he wants to deal with it.
Speaker 10: I can agree with that absolutely.
Speaker 1: So what do we do in that case, because it's
Speaker 1: not about voting necessarily for the migrants right now, it's
Speaker 1: about apportioning congressional districts. That's and you don't need citizenship
Speaker 1: for this, and that is a very, very very big deal.
Speaker 1: So I don't want to be negative, Nancy, right. I
Speaker 1: appreciate you listening. I'm sorry I made you angry this morning,
Speaker 1: but that's that's that's my blood pressure every morning, most morning.
Speaker 1: Sometimes we get to talk about why Gladiator Too is
Speaker 1: a historical disaster because let's see here, they filled the
Speaker 1: in one scene, they filled the coliseum with sharks, and
Speaker 1: they say that most Romans wouldn't know what a shark is.
Speaker 1: And I actually looked this up, and I don't know
Speaker 1: if it's a Mediterranean thing. Do they not or that
Speaker 1: part of it? Do they not have sharks up in
Speaker 1: the I guess I never really contemplated it, so I
Speaker 1: don't know. They also took issue with rhinoceros fighting a bull,
Speaker 1: but there's dudes riding them. They'd say that the gladiators
Speaker 1: didn't ride rhinoceroses. I don't care you, but actually people
Speaker 1: man like this movie may suck for a lot of reasons,
Speaker 1: but I do. Oh what was the other one? Oh?
Speaker 1: In one scene on the trailer, they see a Roman
Speaker 1: noble sipping tea in a cafe while reading the newspaper
Speaker 1: twelve hundred years before the invention of the printing press.
Speaker 1: That is true. Do you know how they used to
Speaker 1: you know how they used to do news. This is
Speaker 1: deadly serious with this. So they had daily news service,
Speaker 1: and a dude would chisel and carve the news into
Speaker 1: a block of stone, and it would be in like
Speaker 1: five or six areas, so they'd have different dudes. They
Speaker 1: know what the news. They go over there and they
Speaker 1: would chisel, and then you get up in the morning,
Speaker 1: I guess, and oh, they didn't have cafes by the way,
Speaker 1: and then they you would go and you'd read the
Speaker 1: Chiseled Stone, and then that I have a question. Do
Speaker 1: you think that they also had fake news and headlines
Speaker 1: during Chisel time? That'd be crazy. And can you imagine
Speaker 1: that now some guy with a chisel come along and
Speaker 1: he'd be like, I don't like what it says here,
Speaker 1: and then you know, Chisel another narrative in there, so uh, yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go that. I don't know what that does
Speaker 1: for the movie, but I love watching the professor at
Speaker 1: the University of Chicago, professors at Princeton, Harvard, and UC
Speaker 1: Berkeley all losing their minds because the dude's writing a
Speaker 1: rhinoceros in a gladiator outfit, and consider it everything else
Speaker 1: they had there. I how do you know if they
Speaker 1: didn't know what a shark was? Oh, and apparently it's
Speaker 1: the wrong breed of rhinoceros, which I I'm not up
Speaker 1: on my rhino breeds, so I don't know what to
Speaker 1: tell you. But anyway, there you go, all right eight
Speaker 1: eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four, let's
Speaker 1: see we got Yeah, I would probably have the opportunity
Speaker 1: to chat with some couple more two or three politicians
Speaker 1: if you want. Get that in uh and we'll get
Speaker 1: an your call as well. But first, a twenty one
Speaker 1: year old Texas woman tried to do the thing which
Speaker 1: we don't understand why it's the thing. She tried to
Speaker 1: sell her baby. I've seen people try to sell babies
Speaker 1: for taco bell and one thousand dollars on South Saunders Street,
Speaker 1: sell their baby for drugs? What was what was the
Speaker 1: other one we had where they were trying to sell
Speaker 1: a baby in a campground, those lunatics, and then they
Speaker 1: but you could rent the baby for a six pack.
Speaker 1: We just did that story. That's a true story. By
Speaker 1: the way, they were wanting to try to sell the baby,
Speaker 1: but you could test drive the baby for the low,
Speaker 1: low price of a six pack. These people exist, and
Speaker 1: we'll tell you the story of twenty one year old
Speaker 1: Juniper Bryson and her own unique twist. And we'll do
Speaker 1: that coming up here, and your calls on the CaCO
Speaker 1: Day Radio program hang on the not people running for office, callers,
Speaker 1: I'll just let you know we're gonna get priority to Cannon.
Speaker 1: It's so nothing personal, but this is. It's their day.
Speaker 1: So that's why we're doing this, and we're gonna chat
Speaker 1: with a couple more right now. Uh, let's go ahead
Speaker 1: and start with the lieutenant governor's race. How Weatherman, it
Speaker 1: joins us. How are you doing today?
Speaker 11: I'm really well.
Speaker 7: I hope you are.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a little background too. I've known how for since
Speaker 1: he was Dan Forrest guy for a lot of years.
Speaker 1: I don't know how long you worked with Dan or
Speaker 1: for Dan, but how much.
Speaker 11: That was back with Dan for ten years, eight years
Speaker 11: in office. But we but we campaigned two years for
Speaker 11: lieutenant governor back in twelve.
Speaker 1: With the red the red bus or whatever that thing was.
Speaker 2: Yeah, what happened to that?
Speaker 1: Does Dan have.
Speaker 5: No?
Speaker 11: I do have a bus. But ever, the three cycles
Speaker 11: that we ran, we went through three different buses, and
Speaker 11: two of them got scrapped literally sold for scrap metal
Speaker 11: because we just run them into the ground. The other
Speaker 11: one we returned to We leased it from someone and
Speaker 11: returned it. But no, I have one this time as well,
Speaker 11: but it's not one of the previous ones. The dandies.
Speaker 1: So let's let's talk about this obviously, because a lot
Speaker 1: you asked people a lieutenant governor does, and most people
Speaker 1: have no idea their eyes glazed over. Obviously you were,
Speaker 1: you were sitting in that house. You were, you don't
Speaker 1: serve it in that administration, so to speak. And what
Speaker 1: did you glean from it that you like? And then
Speaker 1: what is how Weatherman going to do different?
Speaker 11: Well, listen, the governor serves as the president of the
Speaker 11: State Center and also serves on the State Board of Education,
Speaker 11: on the State Board of Community Colleges. You know what
Speaker 11: I want to use it for is is you know,
Speaker 11: I believe that we've lost as a society what I
Speaker 11: call the basic concept of the dignity of work itself,
Speaker 11: and especially with my position on the Community college board,
Speaker 11: I want to drive a whole new generation of people
Speaker 11: into working with their hands, working in the trade. So
Speaker 11: I'm going to create what I call it two and
Speaker 11: two degree, So the kids that want to go into
Speaker 11: the trades but also want to go to college can
Speaker 11: do the first two years at a trade school, then
Speaker 11: transfer over to one of the four year universities and
Speaker 11: you have a skilled back degree maybe in graphic design, marketing,
Speaker 11: budget finance, business. Couple that with the skill set of
Speaker 11: the trades, and then drop a new generation of people
Speaker 11: in working with their hands. I tell people all the time,
Speaker 11: if you're a young person, the quickest way to make
Speaker 11: six figures, the quickest way to be your own boss,
Speaker 11: and the quickest way to build a business that literally,
Speaker 11: if you work it right ten to fifteen years from
Speaker 11: now you could sell for seven plus figures is to
Speaker 11: work with your hands. Be that you know, plumbing, welding, HVAC, electrical,
Speaker 11: and so you know, I'd like to use it for that.
Speaker 11: I think a lot of people need to realize too,
Speaker 11: that when you elected loosing a governor, you're also electing
Speaker 11: a governor in waiting. And I don't mean that, you know,
Speaker 11: in an ambitious way. I mean that you are you know,
Speaker 11: five times in our state history the governor has either died,
Speaker 11: been removed from all us, or otherwise incapacitated. And we
Speaker 11: have an automatic secession plan in North Carolina whether the
Speaker 11: lieutenant governor does automatically ascend up. So when you elect
Speaker 11: a lieutenant governor, need to make sure you're electing a
Speaker 11: man or a woman that has the wisdom that the
Speaker 11: office entails the experience the office. In tenales, can they
Speaker 11: commute sentences pardons? And this is can they be the
Speaker 11: commander in chief of the Guard, the Air National Guard,
Speaker 11: or the ground Guard. Can they have near unilateral control
Speaker 11: of the real estate assets of the state of North Carolina,
Speaker 11: which are immense. Can they preside over the ninety eight
Speaker 11: thousand state employees you know, et cetera, et cetera. And
Speaker 11: so you know my opportunity. What Dan gave me, other
Speaker 11: than being just a very loyal friend and a great
Speaker 11: trainer if you will, is he afforded me the opportunity
Speaker 11: o for ten years with him to travel this great
Speaker 11: state and to learn the state. I've been all in
Speaker 11: under counties multiple times over the last ten years. Even
Speaker 11: in my own campaign for lieutenant governor, I double back
Speaker 11: with to all one hundred counties, most of them multiple times.
Speaker 11: And I think that's important because if you want to
Speaker 11: lead a state as a governor or lieutenant governor, I
Speaker 11: believe you need to intimately know it. You need to
Speaker 11: know its strengths so that you can play towards the
Speaker 11: strengths of the state, which equally need to know the
Speaker 11: weaknesses of the state so you can help mitigate them.
Speaker 11: I think that is the essence of leadership.
Speaker 1: Yeah, what's your website? I get that out for folks
Speaker 1: that want to learn some more.
Speaker 5: Thank you.
Speaker 11: It's Hal Weatherman. Just my name Halweatherman dot com.
Speaker 1: Okay, very good, Well, I appreciate you calling in this
Speaker 1: where we're a little tight and I'm I'm gonna chat
Speaker 1: with Mike Cosey here, so I got to fit that in.
Speaker 1: But good luck today and we'll see where it goes.
Speaker 7: Okay, thank you.
Speaker 11: People need to go all right?
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, So there you go. That is Hal Weatherman.
Speaker 1: He is a lieutenant governor candidate. I want to give
Speaker 1: you a little background on him. And again I've known
Speaker 1: how for ten plus years obviously just with his time
Speaker 1: working with Dan there. So all right, so Insurance Commission race,
Speaker 1: Mike Cousey joins us. How are you doing today, sir?
Speaker 7: Great, good morning, Casey. Thanks for doing this.
Speaker 1: I heard that you won't lower Ross's insurance rates. He's
Speaker 1: very upset.
Speaker 7: So well, if he'd be a better driver, i'd do
Speaker 7: a better job with that. But he's gonna have to
Speaker 7: Are you kidding?
Speaker 1: Are you kidding? If you rode with Ross in a car,
Speaker 1: you would tell you'd be like, would you step on it?
Speaker 1: He drives like I don't want to pick on grandma's.
Speaker 1: But he drives like a grandma. It's it's it's pretty
Speaker 1: wild actually, but.
Speaker 7: Maybe that's the problem. That's that's dangerous too. If you're
Speaker 7: driving too slow, people run into you.
Speaker 1: What does an insurance commissioner do other than tell Duke
Speaker 1: no every few years? Yeah, what do you do?
Speaker 7: The insurance commissioner in North Carolina regulates the insurance companies,
Speaker 7: the agents, the policies, and we do a lot to
Speaker 7: help consumer. And I know nobody listening has ever had
Speaker 7: a problem with an insurance company paying a claim. But
Speaker 7: people have an issue with insurance companies paying the claim.
Speaker 7: All they need to do is give me a call,
Speaker 7: go to the Department of Insurance website NCDI dot gov,
Speaker 7: and we have people on the phones every day Monday
Speaker 7: through Friday to help you get those issues resolved. We
Speaker 7: help seniors with Medicare and prescription drugs every day. We
Speaker 7: built I want to continue to play for the folks
Speaker 7: in the Mountain counties impacted by the hurricane, and we've
Speaker 7: been up there every day helping those folks with victims
Speaker 7: assistance centers, insurance camps, or insurance villages, helping people get claims.
Speaker 7: I went to Washington, d c. Last week to meet
Speaker 7: with the Treasury Department in FEMA advocating for more help
Speaker 7: for the people of western North Carolina. Up there a
Speaker 7: week before last and met with one hundred and fifty
Speaker 7: small business owners in the Ashville area. And you've got
Speaker 7: a lot of places that still don't have water, so
Speaker 7: there's a lot of needs. But you know, today's a
Speaker 7: big day, election day, so we're just encouraging people that
Speaker 7: haven't yet voted to get out vote today. This is
Speaker 7: so important. And I have pushed back hard Casey on
Speaker 7: what the insurance industry the rates they wanted to raise.
Speaker 7: The Insurance Commissioner doesn't set rates in North Carolina. We
Speaker 7: have a what's called a North Carolina Rate Bureau. But
Speaker 7: I have said no to every proposed rate increase. We're
Speaker 7: in court right now on the big homeowners increase they're
Speaker 7: trying to give. Yeah, that's why we'll see how that
Speaker 7: comes out.
Speaker 1: And the timing of it was crazy because we're still
Speaker 1: were there. I mean, they were still trying to do
Speaker 1: head counts in the mountains. And you see a proposal,
Speaker 1: correct me if I'm wrong of what they wanted a
Speaker 1: forty percent increase or something.
Speaker 7: Well that actually the proposal came back at the first
Speaker 7: of the year, back the first week in January.
Speaker 1: So oh okay, so I got yat.
Speaker 7: Yeah, and so the court date was set for October.
Speaker 7: That's what it was, the court. What you're thinking about
Speaker 7: when the here public hearing actually started and then here
Speaker 7: comes the flood situation.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I just and we do things that and you've
Speaker 1: outlined it there late North Carolina. The way that they
Speaker 1: handle insurance is remarkably different. Is there any other states
Speaker 1: who do it the way that we do?
Speaker 7: Not exactly. We're the only purely rate bureau of State.
Speaker 7: And actually people don't realize there's only eleven states that
Speaker 7: elect state insurance commissioners. The other states the commissioners are
Speaker 7: appointed by the governors. And I personally, I think it's
Speaker 7: better for the people to have a voice and be
Speaker 7: able to vote their choice. And so you know, again,
Speaker 7: we want people to go to the Apartment of Insurance
Speaker 7: if we need help. I need people to go to
Speaker 7: my campaign website today Mike causey NC dot com and
Speaker 7: spread the word get their friends and neighbors to go vote.
Speaker 7: It's very important that we have a good turnout today
Speaker 7: and the polls are open until seven thirty tonight.
Speaker 1: Absolutely all right, Mike, Causey incumbent and seeking reelection here.
Speaker 1: We do appreciate it. Thank you much, sir, and good luck.
Speaker 7: Thank you Casey. Appreciate what you do.
Speaker 1: All right, Absolutely all right. Sorry, Ross, I try to
Speaker 1: get you more, but he's an unmovable object. All right,
Speaker 1: Let's go ahead and get Ray Stagic from the Weather Channel.
Speaker 1: Who's uh promising it'll get better? How's that?
Speaker 3: Yeah, it will, It's gonna get better.
Speaker 9: It's just kind of, I don't know, cloudy, kind of drear,
Speaker 9: especially around the triangle where we are going to continue
Speaker 9: to see the clouds and the fog and the dense fog.
Speaker 3: Advis we're expiring in the next couple of hours.
Speaker 9: So if anything you're standing out there, you're going to
Speaker 9: be and you're kind of like some spotty light rain
Speaker 9: and drills a little better try it. In points west
Speaker 9: and south, visibilities are still down though quarter mile at
Speaker 9: the airport right now in Raleigh and down near Fayetteville.
Speaker 9: We're at point one two, so they've come up to
Speaker 9: quarter mile. So still some fog as you go south
Speaker 9: and just to the east, but better to the west.
Speaker 9: As I said earlier, seem as an hour ago high
Speaker 9: point Winston Salem, Davidson County ten mile visibility there, Ashboro
Speaker 9: seeing ten mile visibility, so better in some spot. Clouds
Speaker 9: will stick around and we'll get a slayers of light
Speaker 9: rain and showers as we move through this election day,
Speaker 9: but nothing really terrible case warm two and I think
Speaker 9: the best chance of rain is early partial sun, may
Speaker 9: try to get out then up for seventies later today,
Speaker 9: a mile sixty tonight, so late chance of a shower tomorrow,
Speaker 9: maybe from showers Thursday. Highs are going to stay warm,
Speaker 9: mid upper seventies, maybe eighty degrees, and then Friday partial
Speaker 9: sun mid seventies and over the weekend, maybe some showers
Speaker 9: Saturday night. But not only are we not going to
Speaker 9: see much rain, although kind of looks like kind of
Speaker 9: messy out there, but we're not going to get much
Speaker 9: in a way of colder air either.
Speaker 3: Forget about it.
Speaker 9: All that's out through Montana and into Wyoming where there's watches, warnings,
Speaker 9: even some blizzard warnings in Montana they art to care
Speaker 9: for now is well up to the north of the
Speaker 9: Canadian border. North of that, so we'll see I mean
Speaker 9: we're getting into November now, should start to get cold
Speaker 9: pretty soon. Nothing nothing coming yet, nothing coming.
Speaker 1: Yet, Oh it does. It's texting a family member back
Speaker 1: in Wyoming. He was telling me how much snow they're
Speaker 1: expecting up on the top part of the property. And
Speaker 1: You're like, well, it's November. I mean, it's what it does.
Speaker 1: So we'll see.
Speaker 3: Yeah, all right, thanks many.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll chat tomorrow. There you go, and we'll come
Speaker 1: back with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on. Well, good morning.
Speaker 12: Casey stocks lost a little ground in yesterday's trading. Investors
Speaker 12: were avoiding risk ahead of the presidential ellot action, which
Speaker 12: is still too close to call. This morning, the futures
Speaker 12: have been modestly higher all morning. The now futures are
Speaker 12: up forty eight points right now. The strike is over
Speaker 12: at Boeing. Unionized machinists ratified the company's third contract offer.
Speaker 12: It will hike workers pay by thirty eight percent over
Speaker 12: four years, but Boeing stood its ground and refused to
Speaker 12: restore a pension plan. Airline production has been shut down
Speaker 12: for nearly eight weeks. The nation's trade deficit widened in September.
Speaker 12: Imports increased, exports fell the government says the trade gap
Speaker 12: grew nineteen percent and topped eighty four billion dollars. Many
Speaker 12: homeowners looking to do some improvements or just raised some
Speaker 12: cash could tap their home equity. The ICE Mortgage Monitor
Speaker 12: says mortgage holders had more than seventeen trillion dollars in
Speaker 12: equity at the end of the third quarter. More than
Speaker 12: eleven trillion of that is tappable. That means the homeowner
Speaker 12: would still be left with at least a twenty percent
Speaker 12: stake in the home. Economists say fed radcuts would encourage
Speaker 12: a research gents and home equity withdrawals. Apple may be
Speaker 12: thinking about offering a line of smart glasses. Our Mark
Speaker 12: German reports the iPhone maker has launched an internal study
Speaker 12: of products currently on the market. The initiative is code
Speaker 12: named Atlas. Apple reportedly is gathering feedback from employees before
Speaker 12: turning to focus groups.
Speaker 1: A little bit farther.
Speaker 12: Along and by now pay later services casey could turn
Speaker 12: out to be popular with holiday shoppers. Women's Wear Daily
Speaker 12: says researchers from split It and Payments found that nearly
Speaker 12: three and ten consumers are likely to use pay later
Speaker 12: plans this season. Shoppers say the services take some of
Speaker 12: the guilt out of splurging and make it.
Speaker 1: Easier to manage their finances. Casey, alrighty, Jeff, thank you
Speaker 1: very much. We'll chat tomorrow if I guess the Republic
Speaker 1: hasn't fallen in everything's on fire, so hope we'll see.
Speaker 1: All right, we'll talk to you then. Take care. Yeah,
Speaker 1: there you go, Jeff Bellinger. I'm just saying, like, uh,
Speaker 1: I need a nap today. Just what said? The way
Speaker 1: my schedule has been. I know it's only Tuesday, and
Speaker 1: I sound like I'm whining, but I don't know that
Speaker 1: I could physically convince myself to nap today. I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's achievable because it's just you wake up
Speaker 1: and I'm like, why is the Washington Monument on fire?
Speaker 1: What's happening? So we'll see. Let me grab a one
Speaker 1: quick call. Oh look at that. It's Donna. All right, Donna,
Speaker 1: what's up?
Speaker 5: Good morning, Casey, Good morning.
Speaker 13: So I guess that theory is true.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, hold on? Is that thing listening
Speaker 1: to us?
Speaker 6: Yes? She hears everything different.
Speaker 1: Holy water, I want to hear if it sizzles.
Speaker 13: So you know, ailed you derailed my entire conversation yesterday
Speaker 13: with that.
Speaker 1: I didn't derail it, you, I leaned into it. There's
Speaker 1: a difference anyway, what's the point you want to make today?
Speaker 13: So okay, so you were talking about Gladiator too. So
Speaker 13: I'm thinking that it proves that theory that men think
Speaker 13: of Rome at least once day, and you, because you
Speaker 13: think of it so much, you have to come up
Speaker 13: with new ideas like sharks Nado. You know, those tigers
Speaker 13: were cool, but wouldn't sharks be wicked cool?
Speaker 7: You know?
Speaker 1: Well I have and there are sharks in the in
Speaker 1: the in the ocean right there. So I don't even
Speaker 1: I don't know what to make of that article. I
Speaker 1: looked it up.
