Friday-06-16-2023

All right, good morning everybody. It is six o eight here on the k c O Day radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. I I hate to do this to your first thing, but I don't really have any choice in the matter. As I was reading this piece yesterday, but I was reading after I had sent you all the stack stuff for us, so it didn't make it in the stack. But I feel like we should probably open here because this is yet another example where

something should be done and nothing will be done. A new reporting by Matt Taiebi you know who that is, one of the journalists on the Twitter files, along with Alex guten tag a great last name, and Michael Schllenberger,

who I'm sure you're probably aware, one of the Twitter files guys. But also these three now say that they have multiple sources within the US government who have identified patient zero for COVID, and specifically it's Patience zero or would it be patient zeros don't know three individuals now where I tell you their names. Let me let me throw something out here. We'll play a little like guessing game. All three of them work at the same place. Would anyone like

to guess what that place might be these three work. Don't I know what you're doing? I know, Ross, I know what you're doing. He is so excited with himself, so excited. Now I'm going to give you their names. Do you think that will help? Because Ross, he just shrugged his shoulders. You don't know, right, because that's not enough clue. Maybe some names would help, even though I told you he can't even turn his mic gun. He's laughing so hard. You want to hear their

names before you guess it would be helpful. Yeah, okay, is that? What is that what you just loaded here? Okay? All right? Some ting? No, that's not one. No, not him either, dang. Maybe their cousin. I don't know, like a shot man that something was wrong at first? Well no, because he told me, like, you know, before we went in there, like right before we went

in the air. Yeah, y oh my god. They found out you know, who they are, And so I google it's like a tweet at the story and then I see the headline and I'm like, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, so uh. Their actual names are Ben who which, by the way, doesn't that sound like a child knese rip off of a classic American movie? Do reboots, You Ping, not ting Ping, and yan Zoo? What does that name reminds us that yan Zoo? What am I thinking of some movie reference? It's not quite yan Zoo, but

it sounds similar. All right. So, now that you've been armed with the correct information and not some ting Wong we too low, holy fuk and bang ding oo, that will never do you. That's got to follow everyone at that station around for their whole career, right, yeah, but what a pinnacle to be at. Oh of course. Yeah. The people will never forget you as you sit there and read the four pilots names from that.

Is it air China? I think it was Air China the plane that crashed on the runway in San Francisco or was it Seattle whatever, That's what they went on the news with as the story was developing. Classic So Ben Whu, Youyu Ping, and yan Zoo. Where do you believe they all worked? No? No, not the wet market, Wuhan Institute of Virology Lab. So the three patient zeros or patients zero? Not sure? Maybe it's like attorneys general. I don't know. All worked in research, specifically

research surrounding bats at the Wuhan lab. Do you remember when you were d person for suggesting that. And by the way, if you read the reporting when our sources were asked, how certain they were that those were in fact the identities of the three patient zeros, all of which were scientists working in the Wuhan labs specifically on the research surrounding these bats and the coronavirus and coronaviruses within bats, providing documentation to the reporters. So what are we going to

do about it? There's a whole lot of people need dealt with. One China right, two World Health Organization who helped China cover this up. Ask yourself, how how long do you think that they've known. They had to have known way long ago, right, they've had to know for a while. I mean, it's pretty damn obvious. What about our How would do you think Fauci Fouci had to know? Of course he knew. Do you

think Trump knew? I'm not sure if Trump knew, because remember he was really trying to u you could he was trying to work on in that relationship with China, and I remember losing my crap over it because they just continue to screw us daily. Um, I don't know, And and Frankly, I would it would be believable that Fauci wouldn't tell Trump because obviously there was other stuff that he wasn't telling him. But a lot of what we saw

from the COVID response could be Fauci covering his own ass. Now let me but let's let's also process this logically. This isn't CIA deep cover crap. This is an industry, right, a group of individuals who share information. So do you think at the very least a strongly suspected rumor permeated the public

health community and those in the upper echelon? Like if you're a Mandy Cohen and you're talking to all of your besties around the country and they're communicating with, you know, Anthony Faucian and others, do you think that this particular little piece of gossip wasn't part of it? How do we have how do we hold people accountable? Now, I know what you're saying. It's because

I saw the responses. Well you're probably not saying it, but I saw people going, well, look, oh that's what I'm you know what, that's a very good point. That's what I was thinking of when I read when I saw that last dude's name Yondo, because his name is yan Zoo. I'm assuming that's Yondo's cousin or something. He doesn't look blue in this picture. He's not blue and he's alive. So why keep it a secret? And did keeping it a secret change things? I'm sure there's a lot

of ways that it was changed. I'm sure also if you're in the if you're in this sphere, you can probably delineate a lot more reasons than my

non bat scientist's brain can think up. But I have to I have to suspect that the you know, keeping this a secret obviously is about saving face with China, but also saving face with others who do this time type of research and who would allocate funding for this type of research, because they looked at it, and they looked at it and said, if the American public thought that one of our big research facilities was careless to the point that a

deadly virus or pathogen of some sort could so easily infect and then escape, the level of confidence that they're going to have in allocating funds which basically give us all jobs probably would dry up a little. When in reality, by keeping it a secret and ignoring that we ended up throwing a crap ton more funds at it. Hell, the funding levels for research to quote unquote you

get ahead of the next pandemic or off the charts. And those who were so irresponsible as to either be part of what this appears to be or at the released the cover up in not sharing that information, they're the ones who are benefiting from the largess. I know that Fauci's retiring obviously, and others are retiring, but they're retiring and they're going to go on the speaking circuit

and they're gonna make a crap ton more money. And then the next slate of them, be it Mandy Cohen or others, they're going to take up the mantle. And they lied those who knew anyway, And I suspect it was more than just Fouci, and like you know, China's version of Fauci. So take that for what it's worth. But I want to see, I want to see, I want to see the House put a committee together

today. Today. This is right here, man. The fact that you have people obviously who were in these whistleblower position shows you it was more than Fauci, obviously, But also our sources say they were terrified to tell us what many had long suspected. But they were as outraged as the American people and felt a moral obligation to speak out. Now, though, how long did you know? How long? How long before you you didn't feel outraged?

Back when everyone was, you know, locked in their houses. When you watch China welding people into their homes, when there was solid manipulation on reporting of numbers by China, and the World Health Organization was going along with it and tweeting whatever the Chinese wanted, Where was your moral obligation then? Where was your moral obligation when the kids weren't in school, people weren't at work. Mom and pop shops had to close and the big boys got to

stay open. People couldn't go to church. So I'm mad at everybody, even yond especially Yon doing his boys. Now, what happened to him? That's the other thing. I don't see him interviewing these guys. They don't look like they worked there anymore. Ross, what do you where do you think they probably would? They got some like vacation homes or whatever, and they're just they took them to a farm up state. Really, they're scientists. Do you think they like farming. It's the fresh air, you know.

They got to get out of the hive. Is that? Wait? Is that the Is that the same place they took the former Chinese president, Remember when they removed them literally from the parliament. He really looked like he wanted to go. They're just all prance it around in the field picking strawberries or something. I don't know, man, h So there you go, all right, six twenty twenty one, hang on, thank you. Casey is on nine four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM

Talk in the Triangle. Well, I mean, all you have to do if you want to do that is just look up this day in history and then grab ones you like. Like guy, let's see. So on this day in history, the first roller coaster opened, the first Father's Day was celebrated, the New Deal was okay, we're not going to get excited about that. A Diary of a Young Girl by Anne Frank, published USSR sends

the first woman into space and Bob Dylan recorded like a rolling stone. So pick one of those, right, ros has decided we need more holidays. I'm just saying I'm still looking forward to a three Day weekend I've been looking forward to, and I'm saying, you know, that'd be a great platform for a politician, because, like you said, they already give stuff away anyway. Yeah, you're bribe and you're bribing voters anyway. That's what you're doing for me. In six extra paid holidays a year, we'll do one

a month. We'll just make stuff up. A Moon Day. It's the day we landed on the moon. Okay, you can't landed, you can't make air quotes while promoting it as a holiday. Make a called conspiracy Day. I've already put it through committee. We're good to go. Vote Hayes for sheriff. Are you gonna just put them all on Mondays or mix it up? Oh yeah yeah Fridays or Mondays? Yeah yeah, you got to attach it to a weekend. Remember, because remember when Junteam would passing,

you had like people that hit like Candice Owns. He was like Charlie Kirk, oh yeah, oh you can't have this holiday, and we're like, shut up, free holiday. They're trying to replace Father's Day. And I'm like, no, it's even better, man, because I get presents on Sunday, right, being amazing and then I get a day off on Monday, because prior to that, the presidents you got on Sunday where whatever your family got you, and then me sending you prep links at night. Yeah,

now I won't be sending you any prep links. That's a president in and of itself, right there. So so six just six more. I'm running twelve more. I mean, I'm vote for you. Yeah, twelve more. Be great? Happy um first roller coaster day? Uh? Anyway, all right, so we got lots of we had very sad news unfortunately on the Meghan and Hairy front. Oh yeah, we're gonna do that story. So get your get your kerchief, your napkin, get ready to cry. Keeping you connected. This is WPTI in the Triad one O six one

FM talk in the Triangle. Well look at that the juvenile content. It's not my fault. I'm being forced into this, all right, I'm being forced into this. I don't want to have to do this, but I have to. I got an obligation to give you the news. FBI officials in Boston say they've arrested two more insurrectionists. Oh boy, that word takes on some meaning. Yes, two more for their alleged roles in the breach of the US capital on January six, twenty twenty one, being bringing the

total number of people arrested in the Boston FBI territory to twenty four. It looks like it's a man and a woman. Should we give there? You know what? Yeah, FBI and their press release here has the names. So remember they're just accused of not having permission to enter. I'm not sure exactly what all the stuff is, um, Julie Miller and Long Dong? Is that is that from sixteen candles? All right? Long Tuck Dong? It doesn't have a middle name, Long Dong also known as Jimmy Huang Long

Dong Um? And which which one is the alias? Well it's Aka is your alias? Right? So Long Dong is his name, but sometimes he goes by Jimmy. Well you think if you're if your name is Long Dong, you would make sure you have permission to enter anywhere you go, you know what I'm saying, just in this day and age, So yes, Long Dong and Julie Miller, did you get an invitation to the Miller Dong wedding? Right? Could you put the woman's name first? Right? That's

a brave woman too, right, being a relationship with a guy. And there's a possibility your name is gonna be Julie Dong. She actually has a KA. I guess they used this as online screen names or something. I don't know. Her aka is Hong Hong No, which, of course her alias includes the word no. We need to start a freelong Dong hashtag? I think, huh. I'm sure there'd be some very interesting bots that would

come looking at a tweet with a freelong Dong hashtag. You know what kills me as I'm looking at the actual tweet from the FBI Boston office and it's nobody makes any comment about the names for the first twenty of them, and it's just people going, yeah, get the insurrectionists, Yeah, thank you for continuing to arrest these terrorists, right, and it's like, does anybody see the names? Did you even read it? So anyway, they are

accused of being part of the insurrection right there? All right? So ut four more arrest ross too. I just scrolled down to their second tweet. So they rested those two. And then these guys thum Ting Wong we too low Holy Fuk and Bang ding Oul those guys are getting around. Yeah, well, you know, after you crash your plane, probably have a little trouble holding down an airline pilot's job, right, turn to a life of Really, you couldn't handle the plane, so we're gonna put you in a

contagious disease lab. It's the natural progression of things. Except in January twenty twenty one free trip to DC you can join Long Dong and Hong No, also known as Julie. Oh. Everything's insane, just the way that we like it, all right. I promised you sad stuff. It's sad stuff you're gonna get. Apparently Spotify has announced that they will not be renewing the Meghan Marco Prince Harry podcast. For a second, I was kind of like

thinking, you're gonna see Joe Rogan now because he makes some money. He makes money for them apparently, and I don't know. We're in We're kind of in this business obviously. Podcast. Of course, we're the number one podcast provider. I heart radio. Thank you, So tell me if this makes sense to you. Apparently Spotify had paid the couple twenty million dollars a

year to produce a podcast, but then they didn't. Instead, later on in the deal, producing twelve short inner view programs called Archetype, which um, nobody wanted to listen to. The couple then demanded additional money for a renewal of contract, at which point what what So they give him twenty million, Yeah, twenty million to do podcast. You don't have to do one a week. They had to do I had to do like thirty episodes or something. And then they're like, nah, anna do that. We're gonna

take the money. And then they're like, oh, we need to ren renegotiate or contract. Yeah, it just wasn't enough money to not do stuff. They did do the twelve interview things, which mostly consisted of Megan h quote interviewing powerful women here we go, um yeah, interviewing women to talk about the struggles they faced to break through in their particular industry. Uh. That included Serena Williams How how say? How are men holding Serena Williams down?

Serena Williams is and and her sister are are the example of when people go, you know, men hate all women's sports, they'll never be able to get ahead, pointing out that in some sports it is absolutely the women that are arguably more high profile. Who do you think who do you think was more high profile during the run of The Williams Sisters than on the men's

side. Don't get me wrong, there's a couple of guys that ended up winning a bunch of bunch of majors, but they simply didn't get the coverage and they sure as hell didn't get all the endorsement money like the Williams Sisters did, and they earned it by the way. I believe they earned every bit of it. Also interviewed Mariah Carey. What was Maria I carry struggle

like where to store her money? Right? Is she like Pablo Escobar and like Narcos where he's having to like figure out which hillside to bury barrels of cash? I mean, because that's basically where she was at. Mindy Kalin has like nine production deals and one of them's that's the Velma thing, which is just unwatchable. And Paris Hilton. She struggled to get the lighting right

in her sex tape. But other than that, they gave that. They gave that idiot a show, didn't they where she and it was a Lionel Richie's daughter ran around and just acted obnoxious. That was a thing, dude. That show was super popular. It was incredibly popular, and I couldn't. I watched like ten minutes of it one time, and I'm like, they're not gonna have any That's what I actually said, Like, wait, they're not even gonna have any clips from her tape where she's all green,

crazy thing about Paris Hilton. When when you realize that that voice she does was completely fake? Is it I haven't studied the woman enough to know sort of them who's the but I did study or anyway, what who's the Is it? Which Holmes? Is it the one that was unlike Forbes and the the she had like the theorinose thing. Yeah, that chicken just went to jail for ten years. Yeah. It was the same thing where Elizabeth Elizabeth Holmes like she would like deepen her voice. Yeah, it sound like more

commanding and more in charge. Yeah, Paris Hilton would do the opposite where she would bring her voice up. It sounds really dumb and did see And then when you actually hear her talk this happened and when you so, her voice is actually much deeper than usual than you would expect. Wait, is it Paris or Peter, I mean what I mean, I know it's not because there's evidence but that she wasn't talking, but you know, just saying

so. So apparently they did these these interviews and it didn't meet what they were actually supposed to do and Prince Harry wasn't on them. So yeah, they're not going to renew their twenty million dollars year contract for more money. Ah, he's greedy radio exacts man, expecting you to make money for him and produce It's just crazy, all right, six forty five here on the

CaCO Day Radio program. I'm assuming the memo went out and now all of the Moonbat journalists have to write these because we had an example yesterday from WBTV, which was sourced off an AP article about you know, them trying to get to the bottom of what exactly he's up with Bud Light's finances. Right now, just all of a sudden in the Washington Post came out and did a piece yesterday, and it's just weird that these these things travel in packs

and all arrive at the same wrong station. So we will get to that and much more coming up here on the CaCO Day Radio program. This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk ninety four five WPTI in the Triad. Now, seriously, I want to see U. I want to see John Stewart running around screaming I told you so the entire rest of the day. You remember that, man, they took him down.

Man, he's on Colbert talking about the Wuhan Lab. So a new report out from Matt Taiebi, Michael Schellenberger and somebody Gutentag now has the government sources confirming the three initial cases of COVID were three scientists who worked at the Wuhan Lab, which means they knew this and if you said it, you literally would be locked out. You could have your social media lockdown. You

were called all sorts of names, conspiracy theorists, all the rest. Right, You're a conspiracy theorist who's run around eating horse meads or whatever, when in reality, a lot of people just wanted the truth, man, and the truth was China was manipulating this all the way, and those who had a lot to lose should news like that have come out wanted to do everything in their power to make sure that you didn't know that there's a financial motive

here. And the financial motive is if it looks like these research labs, which we also put money into, were negligent to the point of causing a worldwide pandemic, people aren't going to have a lot of appetite for that. Are going to have a lot of appetite for shoving money in that direction. Plus those who were part of this and may or may not have been under

you know, undertaking gain of function research. You don't want that level of scrutiny there after you've gone on the record saying you weren't doing that, because you'll be shown to be a liar. So what did John Stewart say? And literally this is him talking to the dude who used to work for him.

So he's on with Stephen Colbert. And listen to how uncomfortable Stephen Colbert, who is just a giant hack who will go along with whatever he's fed as long as it's, you know, the party line, reacting to John Stewart attempting to do critically. Now, John Stewart's a moonbat, let's just be abundantly clear. However, he also has demonstrated the ability to do independent

thinking. I think John Stewart, you got to think of with the Overton window, right, John Stewart now like he used to be considered a moonbat. Now I think he'd be considered more moderate. It's the Elon must thing. He seems like more sensible then some of the others, like like a cold beer right where he's sitting there and he's like that that thing that Elon

tweeted back in the day that everyone got freaked out about. Where He's like, I'm here, I haven't moved, right, it's the rest he yell that've moved you guys moved away from me, and now you're mad about it. So here is John Stewart from that interview. Chance that is trated the lab is an investigation? A chance? Well, I want Eppence, I'd love to hear Arizon novel respiratory coronavirus overtaking Wuhan, China. What do we do? Oh? You know who? We could ask the Wuhan novel Respiratory

coronavirus lab. The disease is the same name as the lab. That's just that's just a little too weird, don't you think? And then I have those signist they're like, how did this? So wait a minute, you work at the Wuhan Respiratory coronavirus lab. How did this happen? And they're like a tangling kissed the turtle and he's like, non, look at the name, len Can I let me see a business card, Show me a business card. Oh, I work at the coronavirus lab in wool Hand.

Oh, because there's a coronavirus loosing. Woohand how did that happen? Maybe a bat flew into the kilowaka of a turkey and maybe sneezed into my key, and now we all have corona. Wait a second, alright, oh my god, Oh my god, here's been an outbreak of chocolatey goodness near Hershey, Pennsylvania. What do you think happen? Like, Oh, I don't know. Maybe a steam shovel, maybe with a cocoa bean, or

it's the chocolate factory. Maybe that's it exactly. And Colbert, they look at Colbert's Yeah, he's like, shut up, shut up, stop talking, because you know his producers are talking in the right and you can't shut up John Stewart because he would have no career if it wasn't for John Stewart. But he's making sense, right. Bill Maher is the same way now people are like, remember back in the day, Bill Maher was like,

oh, he's a lunatic, he's a moon bat. Now you're like, you know, Bill Maher's he's making some sense because he's just it's just common sense stuff, because I think there's elements within the ideology that even they're just there. Now we're not we're not gonna do this. I remember Bill Marry. The thing he used to get the biggest grief about initially was the um when there was this big tamping down where you couldn't literally say no, that

person is a radical Islamic terrorist. Remember you couldn't use right. Obama's like, we won't use that, we won't use that language, and and Mars like some of them are also there's there's fundamental Christian terrorists. We've seen those before, and we've seen people who have no religion that they're terrorists. Right. And he was sitting there saying this is so dumb, and um, who was it he got into an argument with it was um Ben Affleck.

Remember Ben Affleck was on the show and he said radical Islamic terrorists and Affleck was like, you can't say that. Yeah, they've gone so far left and now they see moderate. Ah, thank goodness, it's Friday, ahead of a three day weekend and Father's Day. All right, we got lots again to Pete counter will join us coming up eight oh five. Oh we got we got cursed mummies on the show too, So stick around. It's

all coming up. Oh man, what a great little little piece here I'm staring at from The New Republic entitled the Supreme Court is corrupt but only because of its conservative nature subheadline, The Supreme Court's corruption is tied directly to its conservatism. Liberals would never be corrupt like these right wing justices who don't believe in the law or any particular judicial philosophy, no matter what the justices tell us or themselves. Really, you know what, judge, hold on,

let me just let me just pull this up. I was gonna get to this yesterday and then I even forgot to put it in the stack. Uh yeah, sorry, judge, there we go. So um a judge, an activist judge, a US district Court judge by the name of Marcia Peckman. Basically she was here's what the deal was. So Seattle, believe it

or not, has a little problem with property crimes. You may have heard about some of this, and they specifically, we're trying to address how affirmative defenses, which affirmative defenses would be legal for people who were committing vandalism, like with graffiti or basically defacing private property, okay, And so they tweaked the law a little to make it abundantly clear that unless you have expressed permission, you can't graffiti the side of the walgreens. Okay. So this is

just one part of one element of what they were doing. So what did this judge do? The judge, while considering, decided to institute an injunction requiring the city of Seattle to not pursue property damage or vandalism charges under seven hundred and fifty dollars, which is the threshold for the second tier of prosecutable property crimes. So five thousands for the top tier, and if it's over

five and then seven fifty to five thousand is the second tier. So anything under that, which was the third tier, was it, you know, it was its own thing. It was seven hundred and fifty dollars or under or seven hundred, forty nine or undred. She decided nobody should be prosecuted. For under seven hundred fifty dollars. Show she literally made it so the city of Seattle's law was unenforceable. So as a result, they didn't have

they didn't have a law on the book. They still don't. Does that sound like somebody who has any respect for the law in any way, shape or form, or does that sound like somebody who was an activist who's decided, you know what, I don't. I don't. I don't think they

should be prosecuting people for five hundred dollars in damage. Ross If I came over to your house and vandalized the outside of it to the tune of five hundred dollars, you would want well, I mean, I would never do that, but if somebody did that, you would want them prosecute it because five hundred dollars is five hundred dollars, right, that is correct? Yes,

this is and I'm sure that this judge. Do you think if somebody went and vandalized her property and it was seven hundred dollars or the damage like on her garage, they wrote something horrible, do you think she she wouldn't want maybe, and then she would claim some sort of virtuous victory there, But she literally barred the city of Seattle from being able to do it. And I'm sure there's a few of these Seattle Moonbat Council people were probably pretty

excited about it. And it's and for those of you going will look, she's she's saying that this law, she is she is delineating a single portion of the law, and she suspended the totality of it for under a for what wasn't even the argumentative point, or it wasn't even the argument, right, she just decided that as part of this injunction she was going to have this cutoff, which she didn't have to do. She just did it.

So good news. If you want to commit you know, property crimes in uh In and around the Seattle area, just you know, don't be too good at it. You'll be fine. So yeah, when I read pieces like this ole, an inherent problem is right wing justices don't believe in the law. No. The difference is they do believe in the word of the law and in the in the strict in the strictest sense. That's with separates

them. Right. One one is like, you know, we read it, but the other one is it's a living document, living breathing document. Yes, this is the great debate, and I'm going to interpret it due to the way I feel, or or more if you want to be less argumentative about it, you're going to interpret it with modern standards rather than attempting to interpret the intent of the authors. This came to play with the Heller decision. Right, So it was what does a well regulated militia mean?

Well, if you go online, a moonbat would tell you that means that there is a lot of government, a lot of control, and you've got to be part of an official you know, the militia like the National Guard, they'll go when in reality, were well regulated doesn't mean regulations. I know that they love those. It means literally to be well equipped, and the militia is and it isn't was the people, which is why the very next line says the people shall not be infringed. This is not rocket science,

but that is the divide. And so the other judicial philosophy is this needs to be adapted to today's standards, which is a slippery slope of mile wide, but arguably is a less specific respect for the law that is written. But they're organized. Man. We told you yesterday about ap and WBTV ran an article where they're like, uh, you know, some people think that bud Light's financial issues maybe connected to their partnership with Dylan mulvaney, but

we don't know. We had no way of finding out. And then, like clockwork, all the other moon bad organizations and outlets decided to do their stuff. Here's Washington Post. Bud Light sales fall in US as Mexico's MODELO gains popularity. Bud Light has been targeted by a recent boycott, but consumers might just be moving away from the brand amid stagnation for domestic beer in general.

What a kuiki in right, man? How those two things just happen to coincide all of a sudden right here, and you know, one little span of time. Bud Light has been targeted by a recent boycott, but consumers might be moving away from the brand anyway, amid stagnation for domestic beer in general. Absolute lunatics, man, But that's what you do when you don't have an argument anymore. You attempt to muddy the waters as much as

possible so that people can fall back on that stuff. Because what you're doing is you're not just informing, you're specifically, you're carrying out the the distribution of the messaging. So now if I'm somebody who you know, I love some Dylan mulvaney and I want to defend this, I can go, well, look, I read in the Washington Post that there's a larger trend of people just not drinking as much domestic beer, which, by the way, did it done? And it was a very trackable slope and then all of

a sudden, it's a double black diamond ski run. Okay, right, it was a bunny hill. Just you know, I visualize it. It was a bunny hill with one of those little uh those little seat lifts. Right, the kids are coming down in a little snowplow and making ski and

references here, but you get it. And now it's like, I'm gonna die if I go down that as far as the steepness of the graph, so but it allows you to sit there and argue that because you can't cut, there's no way, there's no way to argue that that is not the single largest impact, especially how quickly you saw it. So you have to

have something, and it's easy to go. Well, I read in the Washington Post, which is then supposed to you know that will immediately infer some sort of superior information informing your answer, when in reality, Washington Post is spinning as hard as they can and it's an idiotic take that doesn't hold up even under the most minute scrutiny. You can be mad that the boycott has

been somewhat successful. I would argue very successful. Actually, you can argue that, but that's also shows your failure to understand how it's entered the It's entered the the popular I don't know how to describe this. It's entered the culture right where pe people will literally make memes, which is not unusual. However, it transfers over to people who really aren't even that political, because it's a bunch of dudes grabbing beers after work in a certain age bracket,

who go, oh, Bob, you ordered to bud Light? Which batchor you gotta use Bob? And you can think that's as defensive as all get out, but the reality is that's what's happening on the ground. And then Bob doesn't order bud Lights anymore because he doesn't want to take grief from his boys. You know what I'm saying. I mean, bud Light was really successful. Right, because of the marketing and because of the tradition, the

actual product can be duplicated. And honestly, it wasn't that great, right, there's a better alternative, Yes, yep, But you're not buying it for that. You're buying it because it's easy. Right. It's because it's what you do, right. You know what it costs. You know where the eighteen pack is on the end cap. You know that you're having a grill or barbecue, your friends are coming over, they'll drink bud Light whatever.

There's a reason that the spots, the commercials they play right during the Super Bowl stuff, or that they pay for bud Light costs so much because they need that. Right. It's the image they're paying for that's selling the product. And you squandered it all gone or or or you're ready ross, You're ready. Just a general trend of consumers moving away from the brand and stagnation for domestic beer in general. Is that how you read it? I mean, I mean, I'm an uneducated man, So what do I know

it? Look at that? Sure, Okay, it was so stumb It's in the Washington Post. So but at least you're not a cowboy hat wearing, redneck racist dude. I'm I'm gonna do you know who Molly McGhee is. She's a novelist and professor, college professor and all that. So she's she decided to unload on her heritage. I think she's from coal Country, Tennessee kind of area, and you could tell this woman is really embarrassed by it. So she starts putting out this insane series of tweets yesterday and a

couple of people respond. I think they did a very good job of pointing to something that I think is um. I think when you hear it, you're gonna know somebody like this. So I want to get into that story coming up here. In just a few minutes, we had Connor McGregor in the news, and how many of you have Canadian maple syrup. You might be sitting on a gold mine. Hang on for that. Smart Talk all day five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the

Triangle. All right, good morning, seven twenty five. Now, well let me just uh, let me just click on this little story here, uh, San Francisco Chronicle. We'll get into more of this too. The San Francisco Chronicle with a new piece out, stop hating on bicyclists and share the road the story. The story goes on to say, ultimately, hate a bicyclist comes from the same place as racism, sexism, homophobia, and transphobia, the desire to cling to the status quo power arrangements that favor some

over others. What are you talking about. So if somebody gets annoyed at the behavior of a bicyclist, and I'm not here to start the great bike car you know, back and forth. There's people who ride bikes that are total a holes and think they are the only ones on the road, and there's people that are in cars. The difference is some roads are more appropriate for ones over others, and cars don't get to act like pedestrian sometimes and

cars the other times. And I know that that is one of the criticisms I've seen leveled at bicyclists or then and then they'll say, well, you know, for the road, and then the bicycles say, well, I pay taxes too, which is absolutely true, and I'm sure you probably drive a car on that road too, So actually, now it's an extra thing which is available to others. That being said, if somebody has that beef

because they live on what's the There's a road over by Jordan Lake. I was on one time and apparently it is a hot spot for bicycle action, and I drove. It's rather curvy roads. The one that cuts up through the dam and then you can make your way up to um not through the dam, but one of this the little side side areas you can make your way up to Chapel Hill, Carboro that way. I should I should have looked up the road. But the point is I remember driving that one time

because I went to there was a friend just got it. She had a spread out there and is having like a barbecue with a bunch of people. And I decided from there to go meet some folks up by Carborough. And I'm driving on this road and every time I go around the curve there is a three wide cyclist pack, you know, with all the gear and all the bikes. So it must be a fun road. And if I was into cycling, it looks like the kind of road I'd want to be on,

and it was. It really really, it struck me as incredibly unsafe, even though I was not even I was not even doing the speed limit, and I'm like, man, I can't believe people don't get killed on this road. This is crazy. Or if you're on the Blue Ridge Parkway, I've seen this stuff and it's like, I don't want to I don't want to run over and hit somebody on the road, let alone slam into a car, or as somebody on a bicycle. There's a whole family drive

in Lincoln Home. There'd be in it, like five of them, mom, dad and three kids in the center of the road on their bicycles. And you're going like like, I don't want to murder you. Why are you literally hitler? So yeah, can't people have that discussion about also people driving ninety in a fifty or out of forty five? And how on Safe one oh six one FM Talk and ninety four five w PTI two stations driving the best in talk. This is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News.

Well that's Sarah. I figured this would go. So now people do why you attack a bicyclist? Pay taxes too? I am attacking people unnecessarily putting themselves in harm's way, right, And it's it's and it comes down to

this, let me remove bicycles from the equation. I'm mostly attacking the stupidity of the article thinks that people may find themselves annoyed by others on the road, be a bicyclist or others are coming from a place of transphobia or whatever stupid subheadline they had in there, And I'm going to remove bicycles from the

equation. All right. So let's say you're wanting to make a left hand turn right across a highway and the highway speeds fifty five and you look and you're a You're in a standard sedan style vehicle, and then coming the other way of the lane you're gonna have to turn across is a giant dump truck. Okay, and you can clearly tell that that driver is not interested in

doing just fifty five, and the thing's moving fast feasibly. You do have the legal right of way, you know what I'm saying, Like it's your but because you're waiting for the light to turn, and you see it, and even though legally that driver should have to stop allowing you then to make your left hand turn, you see that they're not slowing, and you still

pull in front of them because technically you're in the right. That's it's an extreme example, but I see people doing this crap all the time where they're getting little fender betters and like, well, I was in the I was in the right, you were, But the person who just lost to is a dump truck doing sixty five. So when you're gonna have to, you know, type that out on your computer, you now need to speak because you broke all of the bones in your back. Are you still feeling like

you won? And I had this conversation with a friend of mine who is who is into bicycally and by the way, I get it, I get it up. People love getting out on bikes. Um one of the funniest things that I got to do in growing up out West, and I wish there was more opportunity for it around here. Is as wasn't on the roads. It was mountain bikes, the ski areas. They some of them actually adapted bike mountain bike trails to their to their he runs, which is kind

of perfect. And then they would have attachments where you could put bikes on chairlifts and gondolas, primarily gondolas, and then they would do that and I thought that was fun as hell, some people like to do the road thing. And I understand the appeal of a curvy road man, especially if you're you know, if you're a car guy you're zipping around some of the beautiful mountain roads that we have, or you're a motorcyclist you're going on there.

But the reality is some things create safety conditions where people adapt, and these are all legitimate conversations to have. Case in point, I'm so, I'm talking to a friend of mine who does like to do the bicycling stuff. He lives in North North Raleigh, got some places he goes around there, and I was telling him. I said, what I don't understand, though, is as I understand the rules, you guys are supposed to ride single file, and if I come around a corner and I see you guys five

wide, I feel like there's a very dangerous situation. And he goes, well, the reason you may see that is because people are wanting to more be more visible to drivers, because when you're single file, maybe they don't see you as quickly as when you're three wide on the road. And I'm like, that sounds like horrible logic, Like if you feel an activity is so dangerous under normal conditions that you need to break the law to accomplish it

to feel safe. That's it sounds like something's broken there. So I'm not I'm not turning this into a big bike versus car discussion. I'm just pointing out that instead of being able to have adult discussions like that, now it's like, ah, you're just a big old racist. What no, no offense. But I feel like if you, as a racist, wanted to target a group for your hatred, it wouldn't be members of one of the

whitest sports I've ever seen, you know what I mean. Ross. Let's say you're a big old racist, all right, big old, big old racist moral superiority, superiority of race, and that's your thing, and you got to pick a sport to hate on, and the people take Is it going to be bicycling? Is he? Is it gonna be beach volleyball? I'd probably go water polo? Is it's gonna be water polo? Really?

And what about regular polo? About regular polo? No? In case either that's an old Bill Burbitt it is, yeah, yeah, yeah, what does he tell you? What he was talking about? All of these all of the you always have the same sports movie right where a bunch of minority athletes just want to take part and society wouldn't have it. And there's always some you know, banker who's screaming racial craft ridden that coach get out of the pool right in the pool. Yeah, he's like, where is it

end? Put the battle down? They're playing ping pong, you know, like it's the same movie over and over and over again. Yeah, yeah it is. That's why it's just so stupid. Oh yeah, you have big fat racist and you decided to go all in on cycling. Good good choice, Good choice there, Jethro. Speaking of that, um, let me ask a question. How many of you listening to the show right now

are driving a truck. How many of you who are driving a truck, who are listening to the show right now, have yourselves a cowboy hat on a cowboy hat. Well, that's not sitting well with Molly McGee, novelist and college professor up in New York, who went off on a tangent? Went off on a tangent? Would you can tell is deeply rooted in her own experience growing up and one of self loathing. And I think we've all met people like this, especially those of us who who grew up in a

small town or even in a rough area of a bigger city. She says, I grew up in the rules South, So I know that men are out here driving massive trucks wearing cowboy has is not just when I say truck driving, I don't just mean like eighteen wheelers, but I mean big old trucks. I know they're driving massive trucks wearing cowboy hats, talking about working class values. Give me a break, dude, Just call yourself a white

supremacist and move on. Really, so, anyone driving so one the entire state of Wyoming's white supremacists, okay, but also where I grew up. But also all of you listening who were driving around Rocky County or Johnston County this morning, or Randolf or wherever it is, right, you're just going from point A to point B. You live out in the country, and you happen to have a pick them up truck and cowboy hat, just know

you're a white supremacist. According to Molly McGhee, well, there's a lot more going on with this woman, as one person labeled her, and I think it's very accurate. Molly McGhee is what some would refer to as a I'm better than this place girl, and I and any of it. I

think we've all seen it. And again, if you grow up rule, you grow up poor, you grow up in a high crime area, any of the rest there are there are things that you can look at and go, man, I wish it wasn't this way, but there are those who take it to the next level. And it is this misplaced internal hatred. Right, diame a dozen as there's a good little thread on this. So she grew up in Tennessee, she was poor, she's from the South, and now she's up in New York and she's in that you know, that

that old money crowd because she's she's an author and she's a professor. But she's never going to be one of them because she never was old money and it chaps her butt. But the value that her friends, if they really are her friends, find in this woman is her ability to affirm all of their worst thoughts that they have about people who do live there. Right,

So here's a girl. Here's a girl grew up in Tennessee at our you know, here at our supper club, and she's telling us that, yeah, you guys are right, you you silverspoon New York limousine liberals, you are right. Everyone who lives down south or as a truck bunch of racist and people probably gravitate towards her because of it, and so she's got to ramp it up. And then she's internally grow bitter because her parents probably worked

a very traditional job. They weren't able to send her to boarding school, they weren't able to pay for her college, so maybe she's got loans and she resents the fact that she's got to deal with that, and then it further hardens her hatred of where she grew up, and that rage just builds and builds and builds. She's probably not altogether even that much more intelligent than

some of the people that she decides to leave behind. And then when she does go home to visit, she does so and for a very limited time and probably corrects everybody and explains to them why they're not as good as all of her friends up in New York City. Are you identifying people you grew up with that this might fit because I've seen these folks. I may have left where I grew up, but man, I love every bit of going

back there, and I wouldn't change a thing. In fact, I get angry when I go back and realize moonbats have moved in and started trying to change things there. But the reality is her friends, if she wasn't there, you know, backing up their own bias, perceived bias against people who grow up and you know, put a priority on hard work and family and

all the rest, and aren't are content to do that. They can't fathom that, and so they just assume they're lesser than And here she is, somebody who came from there, pulled herself out, and she is going to validate all of your insanity. What an angry, bitter way to live. Man. And that's that chicken, a nutshell, one hundred percent race agent from the Weather Channel. He's just happy to be wherever. That's right,

happy to be here. Oh man, I don't know if you saw this, but it's a big anniversary today, big anniversary ten thousand days since the Dallas Cowboys have won a Super Bowl, Just so you know, Yeah, tell that to the Vikings and Bills fans. Go ahead. Well, that was kind of my second point, but I just thought it was how many days since the Bills I won a Super Bowl? Yes, how many? I mean, how old is the universe? How many since they lost one?

Anyway, weather wise, is going to be a great weekend shower thunderstorm threat later today, It's not going to be much or as a front coming in mid uper eighties today in the sunny weekend, close to the middle eighties. As we get it to Saturday and Father's Day, some spots close to ninety. Next week does look a little bit unsettled. Showers, thutter showers maybe each day. The Atlantic's got a wave coming off the coast of Africa

forty percent chance of developing. The longer age guidance at least right now, sometime late next week early the following week steers it away from the US mainland, but we'll keep an eye on it for everybody. And catastrophic flooding in the Panhandle of Florida, especially over teenage drain in six hours in a Scambia county and a couple of fatalities actually I think three from a tornado in Perryton, Texas. So weather it was a little bit busy yesterday. We're enjoying

some of the nicer weather in the nation right now. Yeah, I went through a trailer park. I heard of news terrible man. Yeah, we have you all right, thank you sir. We'll talk in an hour, okay, yep, and we'll take a break. Come back. I mentioned we got a little uh, we got a little New Zealand New Zealand slash Canadian news. But it might, I don't know, might benefit one of

you. So we get that. And also coming up eight oh five peak calendar will join us, so stick around for all of that your day smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk nine four five w PTI more with Casey starts now. Police say that they have found one hundred and fifty million dollars worth of meth cooked into Canadian maple syrup. So now they're killing us with their smoke and their meth. But I guess maybe if you have

some Canadian syrup on your shelf, you should check it. And if you eat pancakes and then are able to run two miles for no reason, you should stop eating that syrup. Perhaps, wow, look at this. In fact, they say that the syrup has made its way all the way to Australia and New Zealand as the meth is manufactured and shipped all around the world. That is crazy. So yeah, watch out for Canadian maple syrup.

It might be full of meth. Unless you're into meth, then you know, rush out to your shout out to the store today and get a hold of it. All right, let me um, let me hit on.

We got to this audio here. I want to get into this. So Joe Biden yesterday is getting some questions fired at him, and reporter has a question that he is not a fan of, not a fan of at all, and frankly, no follow up questions from any other reporters, even though some would argue that if you're gonna run what did I see the graph? Two hundred and ninety minutes on the Trump indictment and zero minutes on the three big networks on anything having to do with the Biden and the whistleblower stuff.

I guess you can't expect him to actually try to do their job. But here it is all right, hard to hear this. I'm gonna read it before. Why did the Ukraine FBI informant file refer to you as the big guy President Biden? Why is that? What's a fair question considering what we know about some other uses of the term the big guy, right. Why so, what Joe Biden responds is, why do you ask such a dumb question? I have a question on my own. I guess you can tell

me if it's dumb or not. Isn't that the level of disrespect for the media that Donald Trump was said to have ushered in and created, you know, the end of the fourth Estate and the ability of everyone to do their jobs, And it was it was unacceptable and a politician because Joe Biden has answered a lot of questions lightly lately in that very same way, and Jean Pierre into a lesser extent because she softens it a little, but it means

the same thing has has done exactly that. I thought that that was unacceptable for the President of the United States when interacting with media, even though it brought me an amazing amount of glee, and I like, I was glued to my TV watching the first few Trump pressers where he went, you know, you're fake news, and and then later when he said when he's in the gold room there and they're having that like hour and a half long press

conference, and he then upped the CNNs his CNN foil to really fake news allway. That was crazy. The whole time, I'm being told through my laughs that I'm immature and I don't get it, and you can't talk to reporters that way. You're trying to literally get them killed. Remember that's what That's what the allegation was. Donald Trump was making reporters unsafe. People were going to do harm to them. And Joe Biden, why do you ask

such dumb questions? Get out of here? Remember the way he guy tang with a voter that one time, calling him fat, Hey, fat listen. I wanted to fight the guy, and I hear none of that criticism. Just why do you ask such dumb question? And then the talking heads on the panel shows going that was a disrespectful question to the president. Why does that guy even have a press credential? That's what I see a lot

of when Deucey asked the question. Or that guy who's he's from one of the African news agencies, who's always up in Jean Pierre's grill because he never gets called on for questions anyway. All right, so we'll we'll get in on a little of that and just a lot of what the week has had coming up with Pete Callender eight oh five right around the corner Casey O Day Radio program. All right, good morning everybody, eight o seven. Here on the k c O Day radio program Bad News. Pete and I were

riffing off the air. We covered all the ground you should have been there. It was amazing. I suppose we could do it all again though, you know, if you're into that sort of thing, So let's let's join in. Pete Calendar, Radio, Buddy Down Ato, WBT, and Charlotte Midday's there via the iHeart radio app. You want to catch a listen. How you doing, sir, I'm doing all right. I'm actually just sending out the requisite tweet to let everybody know that I'm joining your program. Wow

wow, okay, I'm I was slacking on my social media ing. Big time stuff there man. So we were having a conversation, I guess for those of you who just joining us. So there's reporting by recognize a couple of these names, Matt Taiebe, Michael Schellenberger. You probably know their names for either from Twitter, but more importantly from Twitter files. But they do

other stuff. And there's a third reporter and it's I don't have it in front of me, but they have a pretty interesting report out with government sources who apparently just have decided that they can't live with themselves anymore three years later, and it says that yes, they do know who the patient zeros were for COVID, and in fact, when you hear their names and you hear where they work, all of a sudden you're like, hey, you know what, I seem to remember people bringing that up at at the time,

So they are that's not it too long, No, that's not them, and bang stop it. You have no idea the excitement on Ross's face this morning as he pulled that audio clip out of the archives so excited. Well, so you know you can also run that back for the Hunter Biden uh Chinese energy uh corruption story as well. Dude, we do have any opportunity to use that. So yeah, yeah, there's a couple of guys and involved in that. I think there's a whole involved in the laptop story,

you know what. I think there's a lot of hoes involved in the Hunter Biden lap my story. Judging by the photos there, um no. But what you have is you have three individuals who are scientists who work at the Wuhan Lab, and I just ie, they don't work at the wet market. I thought, wait, they're not employees at the wet market. Well, maybe they have a second gig, you know, maybe they're you know,

it's not making ends meet. They got a sigh hustle, uh, you know, slinging pengguluint pegulin, tacos or something I don't know, or you know, bat buffalo, bat wings. So my theory and so my theory is, yes, that you've worked in the office where um, you know, there's a restaurant nearby or something, and there's always like somebody that goes around and they're like, hey, we're gonna go around the corner and get some you know or something. Yeah. I'm going, hey, yeah,

what do you all want? And so I'm thinking that all of the scientists, uh, they were like, Hey, we're going over to the wet market. Who wants who kind I put down for? You know, what what do you want? Who I'm taking orders? And then the scientists they probably all got the bat soup and uh and that's where they that's where they contracted the COVID nineteen. Well that's a theory. Um, but I seem to remember, and maybe maybe you're old enough to remember this as well.

Had you promulgated a theory such as that that involved anything having to do with the lab, you would have been deep platformed, or at the very least had your social media shutdown. I can remember that, yeah, that was a thing, and then accused of taking horse pills or something. Right right. The reality is, though, um, if these who are the people speaking to the reporters knew Fouci had to know, people in China knew the World Health Organization, people had to know. How widespread do you think

that knowledge was? Even considering that we know that people, Um, you know, we're within this circle of decision makers, and when it came to the COVID stuff, obviously they were reaching out. Remember Mandy Cohen, would you know she talked to her besties on the regular to figure out you know what they what they get to shut down? How? How? Why do you think that this knowledge was spread? And do you think it expands to somebody like a Mandy Cohen? Because I feel like it almost would have to,

wouldn't it. Really? Well, I'm not so sure. I'm not so sure. I mean, because you look at the way people just fell in line, right, and they just accepted whatever. And part of it was, you know, self preservation and sort of this passing the buck of responsibility to say, well, what are they doing in Massachusetts or are you opening up your panther games, you know, your football games and stuff.

Okay, well I'm not either, Yeay. You know there's this there is this peer pressure, this like go along, get along kind of mentality, and I suspect that it's the same thing happens like sort of in a corporate setting, in a bureacratic setting where you have the shot callers at the top and then you have you know, all of us peons at the bottom that you need that that middle buffer at middle management right where they don't know all of the stuff that the people at the top know, but they serve a

purpose as a heat shield. So when the peons getting mad at whatever policy is being crammed down on them, you have this this buffer that the middle management serves where uh, you know, the top guys are not getting attacked personally, but the middle management it's the plausible deniability. They're not told that

stuff. So this way they can with confidence and assuredness and can convey this, you know, authority this, Oh, I know, because the top people told me, right, we're consulting the best minds on this, and you know, right people in the world. Yes, Right, So there's so I believe, like, for example, media serves this purpose, right,

Uh. And we saw it on display during the pandemic when the people that were given you know, keys to the gate to ask questions during the governor's press conferences, right, they never asked the kinds of questions that could have rooted this stuff out. There was there was very little challenging of the authority, right, And like people like we talked about this at the time, what's the you know, like, what are the costs when you're locking

everybody down? One of the costs. Now we're seeing numbers like twenty six million in depths that would otherwise not have occurred. You know, where where do we go to get that accounting? Where do we go to get people that's that will tell us? Okay, I made you know, these ten decisions during the pandemic, and these three were the wrong decisions, and we should not have done these three things. These other seven I got right.

But nobody says that there's no accounting for any policy that was that was wrong. Nobody asks Cooper, hey, did you make any wrong calls during the pandemic, because that's important, it is, that's important to know if there were wrong calls made, so we don't make them again. That's the point. And none of this stuff was ever asked during the pandemic, and it's

still not being asked of these people. Well let me ask you this though, Um, do you think the reason, largely on the Cooper front, is because listening to him have to detail it would take six hours as slow as he speaks. No, But in all seriousness, it's it's far worse

than that. And here's why. Because the penalty for you know, you describe to some extent is standard government, right, you know, like Joe Biden yesterday, Why would you ask such a dumb question which, by the way, I thought being mean to the media was you wanting people to hurt them and was unacceptable. But it's okay now, um, because this went, this went beyond just being ignored by Cooper's office, which we we have a proud tradition of here on this show. It because people were they were

dpersoned, not just deep platform they were deep personed. They were de banked up in Canada. Uh. They they had the inability to utilize various things like go fund mesu and they they were demonized and in some cases criminalized over over this descent. So this wasn't your standard run of the mill. I'm just going to ignore these guys and screw them. And I don't care who knows this was. If you question the standard protocol here, your life will

be ruined. And I'm sick of people going, well, look at this, the Hillary Clinton defense I've seen at this point, what does it matter? And that is a fundamental misunderstanding of what all these folks and these upper echelons had stood to lose if that information came out. Right, they abused people, and now they want and now they want everyone to just move on.

Remember that was the story, what like a few months ago, Hey, let's just all move on and admit said not everything was perfect, Mistakes were made, things were said, whatever, you know, let's one foot in front of the other. Yet no, no, you attempted to ruin people's living. You were called all sorts of names. I was called all sorts of names simply for asking questions like, hey, you guys used to say that masks don't work for a respiratory virus that's ariostolized. So what changed?

And for that, just asking why the guidance changed with this virus. You were a moon landing denier. You were a moon landing denier exactly, Yeah, accused of wanting to kill people, like, Hey, the virus isn't really spreading among the kids. It might have something to do with the ACE two receptors in their nostrils, So why are we closing all the schools? And for that again, you're you're trying to kill teachers. Why do you hate children? All this? So there needs to be no There needs

to be a reckoning. There needs to be an accounting. And I don't know, you know, maybe naming Mandy Cohen CDC director maybe we get that. I do find it very interesting to watch as the rest of the country sort of gets to know Mandy Cohen and all of a sudden, now you're starting to see some of these criticisms from outsiders that people like you and me

were making. And you know, folks at North State Journal and the John Rock Foundation were raising these questions and you know, why is she doing this or that? And now with the because during the pandemic, everybody was looking at their own state, right, looking at their own state or looking at DC. But now people are starting to look at North Carolina and you're you're starting to see the criticisms that we were making getting amplified by people outside of

the state of North Carolina in a way that our own press corps. A lot of times, the political press corps that was covering those daily briefings ignored. Yeah, the ones who were in Q one. People don't realize that they literally had separate ques for reporters, and it was it was like the Caligula orgy boats. We talked about where you don't want to be on boat three, well because that's where the lepers are, right or bout two,

But you want to be on boat one. And if you were on boat one, you got questions and you got to ask a couple of questions. Yeah, all right, So let's let's imagine, shall we Let's wildly speculate if instead of days after we learned this information, the World Health Organization had decided instead of amplifying a tweet from China going we didn't do nothing, they instead pointed out that, yes, In fact, it appears that the first

cases originated among scientists at this virology lab. How different do you think things would have played out? At the very least, I think that people would have sat there and it would have sapped public confidence in health officials to do this type of research and in these types of places if they were going to be so wildly irresponsible and that stop that stops the money flowing. So you helped me imagine what it would have looked like maybe, So yeah, I

completely agree there would be that backlash. Why are you doing this research? Why are you doing at a level two security lab, which is basically, you know, a dental surgery standard. Why was that occurring? Who you know? Who made those decisions? Sauchi uh pays a price for that. Obviously, money starts getting dried up. But the response looks different as well.

I think the response is, first off, there's there's anger towards China, which you know rightfully so um and questions about their lax standards, and that is sort of writ large across all of the communist country, right like you've got lower standards for like everything. Um. So there's anger directed towards China, But there's also then I think a rallying effect to say, uh, you know this came from there. They made these mistakes. Yes,

we were part of this research. And I think you can actually make an argument as the scientists dudes and that like we need to be doing this in order to get the vaccines, and you know, they can make some sort of argument along those lines. You can't argue though at the low standards, there's no there's no defense a lot. If you're whatever you want to study, if it's really really bad, I'd prefer you not do it anywhere near

me. You know, I'll go all Nimby on this, but you're right if that involves okay, well what's not near you is Balua or you know, some island out there, and we're just there's no standards whatsoever. Uh, that's that's where we draw the line. But you're right. I think it would have had a rallying effect. And I think one of the miss the big miss things was the re shoring, especially within our medical industry.

Um, get that out of you, get that out of China, man, right, Well, remember there was the travel band, right, you had the locking down China. I think that would have been a much easier call. But the downside for a lot of the Democrats and media, but I repeat myself, is that you would not be able to attack Donald Trump for calling it the Wuhan virus, right, and that really I mean no, no, no, no, kung flu come on man, right.

So yeah, the attacks that were that were you know, levied against him uh and others, but mainly him, you know, to go after Donald Trump as a racist, and there was great benefit for for the left to do so, so they were able to weaponize that against him. Again, it's another like another example of Trump arrangement syndrome where everybody is viewing everything through this prism of Trump either pro or against, and it just it blinds people

to reality. Yeah, and it's never dude, what I was what we were watching obviously going on in the city of Miami, where you had you had protesters on all sides. You had idiots at the Miami Airport or were standing outside International terminal with signs that says essentially welcome foreign visitors, you're safe now we got them. And which, of course, when you had people that were then walking out of the terminal who were pro Trump, obviously was

starting to fight. So the trolling was working. That insanity rolls on. Man, We're not getting away from that anytime soon. Yeah. No, it's it's it's it's the circus and people are they're addicted to it, and uh, you know, even the people like I'm not so sure, like if people asked, like we were talking about obviously the indictment of Trump and all of this over the last few days. And honestly, I don't know.

But if you indict Trump and his pull numbers go up, and you think that he's the easier guy to beat in the general election, right, and you're a Democrat, why not just keep indicting him, keep indicting him, drive his pull numbers up in the primary, knowing that you will then be able to more easily beat him than another candidate. And I know that sounds crazy, but people are crazy and everything is ordered around this guy, Donald Trump, and so I have to entertain the idea that some of this

stuff is pure politics. They want to run against him, just like they wanted to they thought they did in twenty sixteen. We don't know what we don't know. I got less than a minute I find this funny WBTV down by you, and then now the Impost. The talking points are out, both with articles saying things like bud Light lost their top spot, some people

leave it may have to do with Dylan mulvaney. Washington Post goes further to say that it likely was part of a larger downward trend and stagnation among domestic beer. Yeah, thirty seconds, who's buying that crap? Well, apparently nobody's buying bud Light. That's the problem. M So it isn't even the Dylan mulvaney component. It's that fluss And I think more importantly what that what that PR woman said, Yeah, that interview see gave. That's what did

it in. When you when you insult your clients, your customers, and you say you don't want them as customers, right, they will go somewhere else. Yeah, all right, Pete calendar. Have to leave it there, but we will chat next week since Sundays the holiday not Friday. Have a good one, Okay, you two, and we'll be back. Hang on. Best show after the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search case o day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. All right, welcome back.

It is eight thirty six k c O D Radio program Kent Christmas. Do you know who that is? Kent Christmas. He is a pastor at Regeneration Nashville, and he's not helpful in any way, shape or form. M watching this um this sermon, and here's the deal. I see people trying to go he doesn't mean literally, he means figuratively. Can I play it for you? And then you tell me if you you know how you interpret this? And I saw it made me angry as I saw people being

critical them. And then people are like, I can't believe you would you would criticize a fellow Christian. Why Why isn't that exactly what is asked of people and other religions when it comes to maybe orthodoxy that it doesn't really align with what you understand the belief for the faith to be. Why can't people have a conversation about it. I mean, he's not my pastor, but I gotta tell you, man, if I was sitting in this church listening

to this, I wouldn't be sitting in that church much longer. And sometimes it deviates into people having disagreements with more liberal types of things right where the church is like, you know, even though the parent the parent organization of our particular faith says this, we're going to do things a little different here. Well, when you hear that, you want to know what the little different things are. And sometimes those are little different things that don't comport with

one's individual faith and they go find a new church. It happens. But this guy right here, man, I don't know that I could walk out fast enough. You want to know why the Muslim faith has had his advancements. It's because the Muslims who were willing to die for their believe. But they were willing to strap bombs to their chest they believed or the afterlife, God give us some men and women not they don't get a hold of some passion, then their spirit, that's it. I will lay down my life

for the golf sport now, all right? So I want you to I want you to filter that because I sit there and I listened to it, and I can see where some people would say. What he's pointing out is he's saying that these are individuals who were so passionate about their faith that they were literally willing to die for their faith. And that is obviously not an

uncommon thing or a point of discussion even within Christian churches. But when you invoked the suicide bomber example, then people are going to be sharing that around. And so look at this guy's calling for suicide bombers. I just think it's a really horrible way to make a point, if in fact the point he was trying to make was the more nuanced one that people are claiming. I've seen some other stuff with this guys. This a little too much for

me, But that's that being said. It doesn't mean all of his messaging is wrong. However, in this case, yes, it's not a great example. Blood. It makes me a little clutchy. And and look, you can call and you can scream at me, you can send me email. What he's talking about is, you know, are you willing to die

for for the faith? Well, then talk about it like that in the sense that a will are people willing to because the example they give is would you if you were you know, you got captured right by some somebody who doesn't like Christians, right, and they were on your knees and they said we're going we're going to kill you if you unless you renounce your faith?

Would you renounce your faith? And there are obviously biblical stories that go along with this, and uh, you know, the renouncing of Jesus is kind of a big thing. I was going to say, you know, the Bible does have tales of people. Second, you know, right right, David, And that's good. I don't know that you invoked the suicide bombers though, you know what I'm saying, Well, did that make it a

little uncomfortable dubbing that in this morning? It did? Yeah? Yeah, because like you said, if if he wants to go down the road, there are plenty of examples or stories or parables he could tell. Oh, I don't know. And of course, because then the headline is Trump pastor, Trump pap pro Trump pastor suggests Christians should be suicide bombers. That is the headline from Newsweek. I'll play it again. Did he suggest they should

be suicide bombers? Or did he probably just do a really horrible job of trying to make a point. You tell me, you want to know why the Muslim faith has had his advancements. It's because some Muslims who were willing to die for their believe, they were willing to strap bombs to their chest they believed or the afterlife God give up Some men and women not they don't get a hold of some passion their spirit. That's it. I will lay down my life for the golf sport. By the way, you think his

name is really Christmas? What an amazing pastor's name though, right, Uh, I'm curious what you think. And I don't know. Maybe I've just never been in a church where where they were using tales of suicide bombers to make larger points. But you know, hey, that's that's just me, so we got that for you. Also, I don't know if you saw Pat say Jack said he's retiring, And um, I don't like some of

the suggestions that are coming out about who's gonna who's gonna take over? By the way, who I mean, who do you think could take over for Pat say Jack? Alex Trebek? Right, I mean that's a that's a I would argue that those those two obviously Trebecca's gonna I understand that, But um, like, I don't even know that those two could host each other's shows. So you're gonna have to get real nuanced here. Now, this is an interesting one. One of the suggestions is to roll Vanah White over

to host, get somebody else to churn the numbers. Maybe, yeah, I think she did. She fill in firm one time on that side of it. It was like a whole thing. I mean, obviously Vannah White is the show also suggested Ryan Seacrest does he need more jobs? There was a time he had half the jobs in radio and TV slight exaggeration. The third suggestion, whoopee Goldberg, Well why don't you just get her and Joy

behar in there? Except neither of them will turn the numbers, because that's you know, they don't need some man telling them what job to do. These are all suggestions running around out there. I think, actually, Pat say, Jack's daughter Maggie is one of the other ones too, So don't know, but I know that it's only been just a few minutes. All right, Daniel, what's up? Hey, Well, good morning. Look, I'm a I'm a pastor. And the suicide bomber thing. I think

his intentions were probably right. He was probably in the moment, right in the middle of the past. Oh no, your phone's cutting out there, sir, right hold up? Oh can you hear men? Yeah? I can hear you now, and I really want to hear this, so, uh you see, you think the intentions were there, and you understand maybe what he was trying to communicate, But but what right right? So, like being being a pastor, when you're delivering a message, you're always looking

for the perfect analogies of perfect example. Um. And you can tell that this guy is a pretty charismatic guy, like he's he's he's passionate, he's trying to get to it um and stuck just just being a pastor myself and being in the in the ministry and wanting to deliver a message that resonates, in a message that captivates the audience and gets the point across. He probably just got caught up in the heat of the moment um. You know.

One of the one of the cornerstones of the Christian faith is you know, like you know, Jesus laid down his life for us, right, um, and so we should We're supposed to carry his cross daily, uh, to follow him and so um. Yeah, I mean, you know, all the all of the twelve Disciples except for John. John was exiled to the Isle of Patmoson was beheaded, but all the all the rest of them, you know, they die a martyr's death or Jesus some of them,

were crucified them, and then we're burned. Um well then we had that whole joke, the whole Judas thing. But yes, no to your point, yeah, yeah yeah Judas. Judas kind of shot himself in the foot on that one. So yeah, now I hear you, so um yeah, I get it. But I also get how easy. And I know you can't do everything based on what Newsweek is going to do, but don't make the job so easy, that's right, you yeah, yeah, yeah, right, because if it because if it has the net here's here's why.

If it has the net impact of turning people off of curiosity, perhaps in the Christian faith, then it's not a positive outcome for what you're trying to accomplish. That's right. And you and you know, just as well as everybody that's listening, the media is out to ridicule Christianity at any given moment. So yeah, they're looking for Yeah, all right, cool, cool thoks, Thanks appreciate it. And oh real quick, race Stagic from the Weather Channel. Since we're not gonna talk Monday, and you got an

easy forecast, we're gonna coast right through it. What's up? Yeah today, not a lot of rain, maybe a shower thunder shower later today to our dinner time or mid up rady sun and clouds. Otherwise over the weekend, lots of sunshine, probably between about eighty four could be as warm as ninety in the triad. Next week looks a little damp. I think we'll get into a little bit wetter weather pattern. All right, thanks to appreciate

it. How about three day three day weekends? Sir? Okay, yeah, see you Tuesday, yeah, yeah, yeah, and we'll come back chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on, Thank you. Casey is w PTI in the Triad one six one FM Talk in the triangle. All right, eight fifty two Bloomberg Update now with Jeff Bellinger and what's going on? Jeff, Well, good morning, Casey. Happy Friday. Stocks rallied yesterday, and it's taken investors a little while to make up their minds what they

want to do today. We've seen some volatility, but right now the futures are higher across the board, with the Dow futures up forty one points. Adobe shares were higher after hours yesterday. The media software maker posted record revenue for the latest quarter, but hotel stocks missed out on yesterday's rally. A City report was among the things that worried investors. It said credit card spending trends were slowing and growth in the travel and entertainment category was down sharply.

Some federal agencies are among the victims of cyber attacks by hackers exploiting that flaw in the filed transfer product called move It. The flaws dangerous it can lead to data theft. The Cyber Security and Infrastructure Security Agency did not identify the effected agencies, but sources tell Bloomberg a national lab and a radioactive waste storage site managed by the Department of Energy were among the victims. Some clothing makers

are seeing worrisome signs. Sales may be holding up well for now, but it appears some retailers are expecting demand for apparel and footwear to fall off sharply over the next several quarters. This is the time when stores put in their holiday orders and some factory orders or some factory owners are saying big drops in those orders. And dan Heiser Busch Casey is about to roll out a new ad campaign for bud Light. The brewer says it will put the focus back

on beer. There was a backlash against bud Light after the brand was promoted by a transgender influencer. The summer campaign will say simply that bud Light is easy to drink and easy to enjoy. Casey, so you saw that Pat say Jack has announced he's retiring from Wheel of Fortune. Yes, I did. Here So they said that some of the some of the people may take over include Ryan Zecrest, Whoopee Goldberger, Vannah White. I can't think of

anyone who can replace Pat say Jack. Nobody immediately comes to mind. I think a lot of people favor Vannah, but Will yeah so too. All right, all right, were you Jeopardy or a Wheel of Fortune? More Jeopardy? Okay, all right, well, thank you much, sir. Have a good three day weekend. We'll talk to you tuesday. Okay, do the same, take care of all right, there you go. Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg News that Ross found something he does watch good, good good.

This is not a good look, and yet I don't know that. All right, I'm gonna read the head I'm gonna read the headline and stuff. Had like, tell me why you think that this might cause some problems, although maybe it won't because of getting a pass Um. A realtor in Texas.

A realtor in Texas has created a new thing, basically a service launched by Bob McCraney, who established a thing he calls Fleet Texas describing it and these are his words as an underground rainbow railroad for LGBTQ individuals and families. Let me repeat this again. So his service is one that he is comparing to the underground railroad to help LGBTQ plus people list their homes in Texas,

connecting them with an agent in a different part of the country. These are all things that a good real estate agent will do for you already, regardless of who you want to hook up with. Okay, But the idea that you would compare somebody in Texas who may be frustrated with the politics there, with somebody escaping slavery. I would think that some people would find that a bit insensitive. Owned by another person whipped when they want to families separated,

you have no say and there's no penalty for murdering you. Or Texas where they love executing people who kill people, just so we know, but or in Texas where the teachers can't make your kids read pornoe books, same thing, right, I was just thinking, I was just I was looking at some of these folks who were very upset. They're just In fact, one North Carolina teacher was file was reportedly fired over claims he taught critical race theory

in a class room. The teacher, who used to work at a Charlotte's school, suing the former employer, claiming the school bent to parent pressure because he taught critical race theory by utilizing a book called Dear Martin for seventh graders. The book, which is about racial profiling by law enforcement, was deemed inappropriate by parents who were wondering what the heck's going on here, according to According to the statement, he believes that school leaders bent because they just they

realized they were too close to potentially violating what lawmakers were working on. Here's the deal, because this is the positioning that I see with these stories. How about in the education system, you all yield on the side of being careful and not try to go right up to the line. You don't need to go right up to the line on stuff. Right when it comes to most laws and rules, I understand that that's your obligation. But as soon

as you start getting in that gray area. Sometimes your employer is not going to have your back because they don't want to deal with the litigation that's going to surround it. But then I'm sitting there, and then in texas As, somebody can't read a book. Now they have to create an underground rainbow railroad and compare it to people escaping slavery. Everybody's nuts. Man. You need, you'll need a three day week. It's your heads on straight.
