Putty. It is six through seven, it is Friday, and normally Ross picks whatever it is and then attaches some horrible name. I'm sick this morning, and you know what, looking back, if i'd have been a little more of a detective yesterday, I probably wouldn't be in this boat. So Thursday, who's gonna sound very bougie. Thursday is when my cleaning girl comes and she's awesome. She is, um, I had another one. She kind of like flaked out, didn't want to do it. This one was

a friend recommended, perfect. Love it. When she shows up, but she texts me and she says, I'm sick. I can my mother, who cleans because they live together and my mother cleans, can she come over? And I'm like, yeah, that's fine if some you know, if that's what you want to do, I'll just pay her whatever. So Mom comes up. Mom is very good, but Mom's got a little bit of a cough, and now I'm sick. So I have whatever they all have.

And I didn't even see that yet. See, I always when my cleaning person comes over, I make them more like the et radiation suit, like all the time, because I don't know where they've been, I don't know what's happening. So, I mean, and when they're touching my very expensive things in my house, I don't want them like contaminating them. So I'm like, as soon as they come in them you need to put the suit on. And they complain and they're like, I can't breathe. I'm

like, listen, I'm paying you to clean my giant house. You need to put the suit on. Are you making fun of me because I'm cleaning, but I keep my house very clean. I just want to point out, like if if you want was she the first time the new cleaning girl walked in, I'm like, yeah, okay, all right, hey blah blah blah, this this you know, showing and here's where the mops and the brooms and the stuff. And she's looking around like the beds made,

everything's straight up. The kitchens. There's nothing in the kitchen except a few dishes in the sink. And I'm like, yeah, I'm not really, I don't need you to do dishes and set that. I just need like the deep cleaning stuff because I hate doing that. That's what she does. And she's like the complete opposite. I just make a mess, just so she has something to do. Like I feel like I'm giving her purpose.

She still cleans for like an hour, and we have a set rate, so like she could clean in an hour and be gone or forty five minutes or whatever. She's like here an hour and a half. She's very good and uh. But but the reason I bring that up not just to explain the state of my voice and so you could hear Ross is weird radiation suit alien thing. Um, I'm just saying when I haven't a person clean my house is definitely here in North Carolina, what I do is you know,

I just put on a suit. Didn't you have to like kind of be a little not forthcoming over your acquisition over your yard guy. I seem to remember that, right, No, that was amazing how that happened. Yeah, yea, yeah, no, no, no, I'm just pointing this out. So you got a yard guy, I got a cleaning. I've got a yard guy that maybe comes every month. Maybe you can find him when he shows up. He just shows up and he wants to show up.

For those of you don't know, stam like twenty bucks. For those of you don't know, the story, Ross had like he had the lawn to mow, and but you had a bunch of branches to cut on one of your trees. No, I had a very busy I can't remember what it was, but we are going to have some sort of like event at the house, like guests or something, which is very rare, and Market's

like, get it, bron, I'm gonna go take it done. So she went to work and I walked out of the house to like start and this guy was walking by with his lawnmower and his stuff and I was like, oh. I was like you, let's let's get this done. And he's like yah, and I'm like how much and he's like twenty bucks and I'm like that's amazing because even I can afford that. And then what happened When your wife got back, she's like, this is amazing. It looks

great. Give you a big kiss. She's like, you're the best husband ever. And what did you do? I said, yeah, it was hard work, just tough. And then then when Spencer came back, it was like, you know, a month later, she's like, who's this dude in the yard. I'm like, that's that's a long guy. I's the trespasser. I'll handle, like, go inside, get the boy into the safe room. Then he knocked on the door, you know, because he was looking for payment. And Mark he opens the door and she's like,

yeah, put the suit on, put the suit on. I'm like, no, no, no, that's not the cleaning person. That's the that's the yard person. And she apologized. I love that. I love that. You didn't even almost get away with it, right. You had to know that was going to happen. Oh, completely, because he's already sketched. You just walking around with a lawnmower taking bids, you know what

I mean. And and good for him, um, and he did a good job and all that, but you know that, uh once he did that and he's like, oh this yard, this is perfect, and I can make twenty. He's gonna be back. Man. He does the entire block. Now, yeah, well he does a good job, but they love it. He does it all overweight before. He's a great dude. That's that's why they're cleaning. This cleaning girl's working out because she literally does

my house. Then she goes and does the guy recommended his house like right after, and we're on the same block. So we we's like this is this is perfect because no gas expended. Spencer and I also we have something in common. You remember the five dollars and quarters. Girl, I ever forget that he has. He has like one of those like hey, you can't come on my property things when it comes to her like he had a trespassed, Yeah, trespassed. Yeah, you didn't have her trespassed. I

did not, yeah. Yeah. And then she comes back, then she's violating trespass. Come on, man, don't you watch First Amendment auditors. There is a big thing in then they're not quite the sovereign citizen is more. I was about to say I was gonna do a trespass, but she told me she was a traveler and she was a sovereign citizen. And then she pulled out some documentation she got off the internet, and I was like, okay, never mind. You can't even get her name. You get

like the name of the entity or what. I can't remember how it goes, but ah, those are those are something man. But anyway, long way around just telling you, I feel like crap, and I'm feeling worse is the day goes on. So I told ROSSI, could you know, maybe he should just pick what we talk about. But then what was it? Olive Garden? First time, last time, best time, favorite hours, right, favorite thing on the menu? What food most reminds you of

Tuscany? Right, because you would have had gone to Tuscany to be able to go. Ah, this reminds me of Tuscany. And I suspect the majority of our audience hasn't hasn't been to Tuscany. Not personal, I mean, you don't really if you've been to Olive Garden, you don't really have to go to Tuscan. It's like the same thing because you're there and you're surrounded by family. So now it's a that's a that's a fair point.

All right. Well, if we get around to it, I will let me give you a little rundown because we got we got some good audio today which will help save my voice, so big fan of that. Um, we have like a janitor indicted in the Trump thing. Now I don't understand this, right, some maintenance dude who works for Trump who's like, you know, like, what do you want me to do? Boss? Yeah?

Could you move those boxes? Boom? Now you're indicted. So I perhaps there's more to it, but it's they just literally have the name and they don't even have the other charging data when I was reading this thing yesterday. So um, we will uh, we'll get into that and much more, but let me do this. We'll take a break. Come back six or fifteen k c O Day Radio program, Smart Talk all Day, w

PTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, good morning, it is six twenty here on the Koda Radio program. Yeah, dude, I'd be I'd be steaming. I've seen that done in um uh Europe, right where you're in a very small country and the airlines will have their own bus services there and there's really not a reason to take a flight from like Dublin to Cork. It makes sense. I was

just telling us off here. One of our one of our listeners who travels a bunch, he had to go up to one of the He had to go to one of the cities in Pennsylvania. And I don't want to give away too much in folts his business, but I was laughing when I saw this. So he's got to go up there, not Philly, not Pittsburgh, but one of the other cities which has its own airport. I would point this out big enough that it's got its own airport. So he's booked

and his ticket shows Raleigh to Philly, Philly to where this is. He lands in Philly and it's an airline ticket. But then they go like all right, everybody step out to the curb, and then instead of a plane for the short route, they're running a bus. Now that's crazy. That'd be about a twenty minute It wouldn't even be a twenty minute flight. I'd be I'd be I'd be curious if you even got above ten thousand feet at that point, I would be so confused. But now you got a two

hour bus ride. Well yeah, and I priced just that portion of the route, and you know for what you can trust it on my app, and it's not cheap, Like I wouldn't pay that for a flight even but I guess when you bundle it in it probably isn't as expensive. But yeah,

i'd be stewing the whole two hours. I was confused. And I think it was the new work when I flew home a few weeks ago, because it was like, concourse, a you land in coming out of Raleigh, and then they were like, hey, you need to go to like concourse D and I'm like, all right, well, I'm going to take like the shuttle and I was I was thinking because I'd previously depended the pass when I have to take go to the airport, it's like an underground shuttle

or something, and I was confused just taking. So you walk outside and it's like you're outside in the airport and I'm like, well, where's the concourse And They're like, you have to wait for the bus and the bus takes you to the other wing of the airport. There's no like and I'm like, that confused me alone, let alone like having to get on a bus and take the remainder of your trip two hours to your destination. That's crazy. And the whole time you're booking too. Unless you click the details,

you don't know it's a bus. You should When you look at the time, you're like, why would it take that long? But you have to click through to it and it says select your flights and that's like, those aren't flights unless you're bus flies. But I don't think the bus flies, so yeah I would, and I you know, maybe they doesn't have enough people flying the route, and that's what they decided to do. So it is what it is. I'll tell you where you if you really want

to stress yourself out on traveling. And I've done this in Chicago, New York, and I did this in London too. Split your airports, right, so one flight is into one airport and then you have to if they have a shuttle, great, but if not, you got to get an uber or a taxi or something and hope traffic isn't some weird thing that you underestimated to get over to your other airport. And I one time it was nightmarish and I missed my fly, but it's worked out the other two and

that was Chicago, Thank you Chicago. Who by the way, I don't know if you saw the video. I did post it on Twitter. Um so they have the Cubs playing socks, so you know it's a big deal. Got it there Wrigley and some folks got themselves a luxury box. I don't even know what that must cost, especially during that because that is an expensive ticket. So you're in a luxury box. You shouldn't have a worry in the world. You ever ross you ever got to sit in a luxury

box for an event? Radio connection? Well, yeah, when wwe came from news way. It was so great, and they had like a spread of food and stuff. Oh like no peasants around class entire way. I so did not deserve it. I fell out of my element. But it's

great. Yeah. I got a couple of times for a hockey game and then uh a Vikings one one time, but that was more of we were we were walking, we were hanging out with Joey Browner and when two of the cheerleaders and they go box to box to gladhand and we were doing a feature for the radio. But it was cool, man, I would so the idea that you would then turn your luxury box into the Royal Rumble is beyond me. But sure enough, there you go. They are except for

one dude who's just eating his ice cream. He's in his chair, didn't have a care in the world. He's there to watch the game. People are acting fools near him and he's just like, nah, I'm gonna eat my ice cream. So good on that guy. But yeah, yeah, yeah, oh wait, hold on, dude, a bus dude, just email me, he said. He said the bus was set up like an airplane, and they even did a safety briefing stop it stop it really did they with what they's maybe maybe they won't notice they're on a bus. Is

there oxygen mask? What's going on is that there's like makeshifts wings on the bus. You know, do you ever see do you ever see the British reality show or they convinced these people that they were on a they were on a shuttle, like a like a space shuttle. Yeah. No, they built a whole apparatus for these cats so it literally it moved and they were able to simulate gee even so that they felt they were taken off the whole

thing. They had it all these they thought they were in space. And I can't remember how many were were being screwed with and how many were actors, but dude, they thought they were in space and they had it all rigged up so that from a view standpoint, from a constant motion when they were during takeoff or changing pitches or any of that. Like, they went all out on this, and uh, can you imagine though you think you win one of the tourist spots on one of the space shuttles. You think

you're you're telling everybody right, I'm going to space and you're not. And I'm not even rich, and they go and they do this whole thing, and then after I can't remember how long they had him up there, they're just like, dah, you're not in space. Uh huh. But it was really well done. I think if you want to make the bus feel like a plane, you're gonna have to get a little of that tech.

That's what I'm saying. What and and and so oxygen mad They have oxygen masks, they got they got life vest and in case the bus drives into a lake. I don't even understand what's going on with that. I did see your picture though of the bus, or it looks I would know I was in a bus. I'd be like, dah, that's a bus. I'm in a bus. But anyway, well, at least he got through it. So all right, six twenty seven here on the KCODA Radio program. If my voice holds out the whole time, or if I just pass

out, that'll be fun. It's always on a Friday, too, got the weekend ahead of you, trying not to burst into flames. But I guess maybe I'll just lay low. All right. Coming up on the show, we get a little Anneheuser Busch action. Don't forget our three pete callender will join us. Excited about that because it was between aliens and all sorts of chord insanity. We got, we got a lot to get into. Oh and how Barbie now is going to infiltrate the dating scene because that's obviously

what everyone wants. All that more coming up casey Oda Radio program. Thank you Casey is on PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, six thirty five, welcome back casey Oda Radio Program. I'll have to get into the Nancy Mason thing too. I don't know. I mean, I understand because of what it was and where she was why some people are upset. But she made a little joke and

she happened to be at a prayer breakfast. But I you know, over the years, I've gone to like, you know, the The Link, the Reagan Dinner stuff and then other events, and I've been too a couple of prayer breakfasts. Obviously, I don't usually go to them because you know, we work in the morning, but I'm into a couple and there's definitively a slightly different vibe. But I don't know they just kind of rolled into

many of the other events. And maybe it's because at many of the other events, you know, people may have an invocation and pray before pledge of allegiance, all that good stuff. But um Philly, we got better stuff to be upset about on this fine morn. In fact, let me just go ahead and get into that. I was going to get over to the Diane Feinstein Hospice stuff. But oh, what a day it was, What a week it's been. So Nancy May, South Carolina congresswoman, she is

Tim Scott's prayer breakfast. She's she gets up to speak, and you know, wants to set a more comfortable scene. It's something good speakers will do, especially in an environment like that, where it's a friendly environment. You may crack a couple jokes, but you're gonna have something that's more personal than just you just you reading off cards. But it's a prayer breakfast. And she said this, but want to thank you for pulling this together. Another

year, another standing room only event. And when I woke up this morning at seven, I was getting picked up at seven forty five, Patrick, my fiance tried to pull me by my waist over this morning in bed, and I was like, no, baby, we don't got time for that this morning. I gotta get to the prayer breakfast and I got to be on time and a little too am I. But um, I know he can wait, he's got we got I'll see him later tonight. But I was here early today for you, Tim, and I think everybody, everybody

was here early for you. And you can hear it takes a little while for people to start laughing because I think in their head, going, can I laugh at that? We're at a prayer breakfast? But I mean, I don't know, maybe it's maybe it's inappropriate. I mean I would have laughed complete harlott. Well, look, it's fornication. She's not even married, right, Well, yes, and if you want to word it, if you want to word it out like I saw, people were really mad.

Word did Nancy Maze went to a prayer breakfast and then made a joke about her premarital sex. Well you can't see it because it's audio, but in the video she's also tworking at the podium. There are some people who are not going to see the video, and they're now going to go through life thinking she's actually okay. So I'm being told that was two separate videos I watched. There was a twerking video that I watched. There isn't there

is, And I'm telling you I was confused. I watched a tworking video before the Mace video and I combined them in my head because I'm tired. So I retract my statement. She was not working. But she's still a harlot. She'll sue, you man. She's who did she sue? She sued somebody in South Carolina for some stuff. I can't remember who it was. I just wanted to use the word harlot. No, no, no, no, you don't really good. It's one of those words you just

there's rarely an occasion. Trollops another one you barely get to use. That's a good one too. Yeah yeah, yeah. Any day he can work those in is a good day. So what do you think eight eight, eight, nine, three four seven eight seventy four Do you think it's because of the event that it was at. I saw some people going, you know what, maybe you shouldn't go to any event full of conservatives and talk

about premarital sex. I happen to be in I, you know, in the other camp where I'm like, everybody knows what's I don't like those events where everyone's pretending that none of this stuff exists, right, I mean, listen, I've been in radio twenty five years, right, I was in radio fifteen years before I got married. Stuff happen, right, right, Well, I mean it's like she she has a fiance and they live together, you know what I'm saying. And people are knowledgeable of that because he

did a little campaign stuff too. What do they do? You think that they're all like, it's the clever household with the two separate beds or maybe separate rooms. I understand that people have their own personal opinion of that, and they you know, and they in their head, they may are using the words that Ross is so so excited to get to use today. But I guess making a joke about it and it being a prayer breakfast or would

that be inappropriate anywhere? I don't know. In the grand scheme of people in the political circles talking braggadociously about intimate acts, it is the most vanilla of them when you consider all of the other stuff out there, especially on the other side of the aisle. Right now, we need to normalize it. I saw some guy online and it was like, what was he?

He was one of these guys who was advocating for sex work is real work and we need to legalize it and that will stop trafficking, which it won't, but you know, it's real work and it needs to be recognized as such. And there are a couple groups out there that that is the advocacy that they choose to pursue, which is fine. You know, I advocate, and if you're talking about adults and you can convince enough people and the representatives or the voters I guess or whatever are okay with it, then it

is what it is. We're fifty peachree dishes. It's why you know currently in Nevada they have the counties where that is a thing. And the world continues to turn. But then he starts talking about how it would impact other workers. And I tried to find this video after I watched it the other day when I was putting prepp together, and I couldn't. They probably took it down. And then he starts talking about how you know, in most

states there's a certain age where miners can start working. It could be fourteen, sixteen, whatever, and so we need to respect the fact that if sex work is real work and it's just another legitimate profession, then we need to recognize that some miners may choose in I'm like, dude, you just spent ten minutes and all you wanted to just want to hook up with kids PERV like this is your roundabout way of accomplishing your your your dream there.

And I would also, and nobody pointed this out in the comments when I saw it. There are a lot of jobs if you're under eighteen you can't do. Okay, right, you can, depending on what the work age is in the state. You can go get a job. You can you know, at a clerk, at a at a movie theater or at a restaurant busting tables or whatever. But you're not doing underwater welding. Okay. Most states have provisions on that. So even if you get your one thing,

I don't think we really have to deal with the other thing. And and now I realize, like your whole mission with this video service because you want to you want to get with children, so uh, you know, hopefully somebody's keeping an eye on you. All right, let me grab a call here, Joel. What's up, Hey, I just want to say that. I just want to say that I great Ross. I won't use the hault word stuff like that, but that's the wrong place, the wrong

time for those comments there. She should have had more class and taste than that. Do you think a gathering of conservatives that's not a prayer breakfast would be fine? Yeah, I'm with you on that. I mean it would have been. I think it would have been not well. I don't really care to hear it myself, but I think it would have been I don't want to say appropriate, but it would have been less uh. I guess you could say tish in her words than it is with our saying at that

event there. I mean, I just I want to be abundantly clear in my position. I don't care that she said. I just said, I understand why some people would be bothered, and I'm just wondering if it's they don't want to hear it ever, or if it was just because it was a prayer breakfast. I don't care. Well is the prayer breakfast? YEA. Now I'm picking up what you're putting down there, so I'm with you all. Bet you just called in to use the word Harlot, sir,

all right, get out of here. Now. We got a bunch of listeners with the soauruss out this morning. All right, so what do we got? We got Harlot Trala. What did you go with? Um? What was your word? Ross? My word was Harlott. Your word was Harlott. Okay, so we got Harlot tralla Um. Yeah, we might have to uh get a few others, but in reality, I just I don't care. Um, nobody, you know, nobody at the nobody at

the breakfast, like got up and left. There was some uncomfortable chuckling, and then she went on and you know, gave a speech about stuff people wanted to hear. So whatever, I mean, what a complete heart you know what I mean? Ah, you're the one with just an an absolute flousy. I think Flosi gets used quite a bit tart, not too much. Yeah, what are some of the I'm gonna have to go to the Urban Dictionary check up the new ones, even though I don't understand them,

and I'll probably inadvertently swear. But hey, you know what, We're here to experiment for you. Although we will have some learning today. The folks at the University of Texas have put together a workshop that can be used nationwide to help teach people about their monosexual privilege. Did you know you had monosexual privilege? Russ? I was unaware. Now that you're aware, do you feel you feel bad? Right? I'm not sure what it is so,

but probably not because I'm heartless. So oh oh, okay, all right, well fair enough, alrighty uh we uh the man with no conscience and myself will return right after this. Hang on one oh six one FM Talk and ninety four five WPTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, here we go. It is six fifty two on the case O Day Radio program. Uh, I sound like crap because I feel like crap. So but it's Friday,

so it only gets to ruin my entire weekend. But we'll truck through as we do. So we were we were talking and asking if you had an opinion on the Nancy Mace thing. Yesterday congresswoman in South Carolina had a prayer breakfast. Tim Scott was putting on, made a little little joke about her and her fiance's alone time, and of course the way that people look at it in some cases is she went to a prayer breakfast and then made a joke about premarital sex. I guess, I mean, you know,

I don't know that it was super inflammatory. I'm just curious because I don't really care anything. We're room full of politicians are saying stuff. I just unless it affects me, I'm just not going to get in a twist over it. But then we started coming up with old timey words for loose women because Ross wanted to use the word harlett because he never gets to use it. One of the listeners had another good one, strumpet, and let's see

Jezebel. I got Jezebel emailed, I got several. It's not about being slang necessarily, it's about being old timey sling. That's the theme here. So understand the assignment when we were putting those together, right, No more poppy cock, no more belly who Although Joe Biden uses some of those words, man, what's the what's the what is the one? I'm thinking, Yeah, he used those words back when they were actually popular, like malarkey

malarch, but he's still uses it. Who else in your life uses malarkey? Un ironically, there's no one. So the only time I ever hear it is when somebody is trying to be funny, right, and it's meant sarcastically. So uh, any who let me get over to this? University of Texas has put together yet another social justice workshop. I guess they're kind

of running out, so they got to get a little more creative. This one, which will be available to other universities and I guess anyone who wants it, is a new course to help students learn to check their monosexual privilege, which is something I didn't know about until I read the story this morning. So monosexual privilege is defined as a system of unearned advantages afforded to straight people at the expense of people with buy pan and you know, fluid sexual

ideas, all right, So that's the gist of it. Basically, you have privilege because your relationship is more the norm, and I guess you have greater advantage in achieving what you're doing, although arguably wouldn't bisexual have the better

advantage because they can pull from both teams. Of course, you got to get you know, other people that are into that, but you start with a much larger sample size is the point I'm making, like everywhere you go, everything's maybe whereas you know, me, single straight guy, I got to sit there and you know it's just one camp that may catch the eyes. So but whatever, it's another way you can make ten thousand dollars going

and speaking about stuff. By the way, did you see yesterday they somebody had to report out on bud Light bud Light three sixty five woman Dilli Mulvainey, And on the very same day that about three hundred and fifty bud Light or Anheuser Bush employees were terminated, representing I think about what two percent of their work force in the US. Dilli Mulvaaney's publicist updated his pay for going

and speak. Apparently he's getting a bunch of speaking engagements and he was only charging twenty six thousand dollars and now he's charging forty and people are paying it to have Dilli mulvainy come to it looks like a lot of universities and talk. Forty thousand dollars for a for a one hour speech. That's crazy, but you know what, they're pricing that because he's probably filling up at the

twenty six and three hundred and fifty people are out of a job. So, um, what a world we live in, man, what a world. But when it comes to monosexual privilege, it's important that you recognize it so you can check it. I don't know how you're supposed to check it though, what you just stop? You just become asexual? Or so? I don't how do you? How do you not operate in the normal fashion. The document list a total of forty four supposed privileges, including I can

choose to be in a polyamorous relationship without being accused of reinforcing stereotypes. So hold on, So if somebody who is gay or bisexual is in a polyamorous relationship, and then somebody who is straight is in a polyamorous relationship, like let's you know, let's go to like the you know, the the guy out in Utah with several wives. Do you think society sees the second one

is normal and the first one not? Or do you think that in both instances the majority of people go that's different because I kind of feel like it's that right there. Ross if some straight friend of yours came up and he's like, yeah, I've got I got three wives now, would you be like, oh, okay, well that's totally normal, or in your head you're like, um, that's different. Yeah yeah yeah, so uh, you know, I could take this thing apart, but you get the gist.

But it costs costs a little money, and that's, frankly, what this stuff is about. All right, two more hours to go. Case O Day Radio Program, Hang on, all right, good morning everybody. If he is our number two, seven h seven Friday GCOD Radio program, Glad to have you along. We're just trucking through. We got a bunch of stories to bang into. And then coming up at eight oh five, Pete Calendar will join us and I have I don't know you bowler or something.

So it was dumb. I know how it happened, and it's my own fault. Like the girl cleans for me on Thursdays couldn't make it. She sent her mom. They you know, they live together, they both clean, and I'm like, yeah, that's cool. And then because she couldn't make it because she was sick, Mom was in my house and I heard her cough a couple of times. Now I'm sick, so that's great.

Oh but we'll get through it. It's Friday. I gotta tell you, though it was like Tuesday or Wednesday, I would not be here and you just would just be ross talking about Olive Garden for three hours, which I don't know. Maybe that makes some of you happy. But I did get an email in the Nancy Mace thing, and I think this is a this is a good way. I think there's a good perspective to have on it. It's not it's less about just Nancy Mace and more about respecting the

house you're in. Our daughter lives with her fiance. She's lived with him for three years. They've only been engaged about eight months. However, every time they come to visit for the holidays, they are not allowed to stay in the same room because that is our house rules. Respect it. We understand that they live together. We're not stupid. But our house are rules.

That's the way that it should be. And if somebody's holding a prayer breakfast, likely their rules are one that dictates a little more, says patience. But I don't know what you meant, man, but patience to a biblical worldview, that's fair. I can go along with that. Again, that you know, it's not me passing judgment on whether I thought the joke

was too much. I didn't think it was. But the setting matters, and you're right, that's for the all practical purposes, that's Tim Scott's house, and that's the lord's house that day because it's essentially if you've been on the prayer breakfast, it's definitely religion focused. So little dash of politics in there obviously, But thank you for the email. EDNA appreciate that. All right, seven or nine on this beautiful morning, and we've recognized our monosexual

privilege because the University of Texas as we should. So I guess you'll have to come to terms with that throughout the day. The news yesterday on Sam Bankman freed the crypto bro dude basically laundering money his campaign contributions I believe placed

him what second during the last election cycle. And it turns out a lot of that money was money that was Pilford away from his crypto company into this secondary company that was run by his sometimes girlfriend and then spent on Bahamian properties political stuff. I saw people defending it going well, he gave to both and the end that's true. He did. However, the ones we know about he gave to a handful of Republicans, all who were on a key

committee, when the committee that regulates or is discussing regulating cryptocurrencies. So you know, that's probably a committee where you want to grease a bunch of poems. And that's the system. So don't worry. I find it just as repugnant. That being said, he was the second largest on paper donor to the Democratic political Democratic Party during the last political cycle. And I saw some

going. I saw some people going, well, what you know, what the deal is is he when he donated to Republicans, he just didn't say and so it was dark it was actual dark money. And he, you know, could he said that he donated the same I don't believe that for a minute. And then he intimated that he just didn't disclose it because he didn't want people getting mad at him, because donate to a Republican they'll they'll run, they'll run your business into the ground if they get to get a

wild hair man. But I don't believe that, And why did this come up? So yesterday the Department of Justice has dropped one of the charges, not all of them. I saw some people saying that he's still facing decades and decades for a variety of things. But the charge that they dropped is the interesting one. It was the campaign finance charge. Basically, he's not following the protocol in rules for political donations. In some cases it looked like

it may have been funneled under other people to get by the limit. That obviously is a problem. These are, by the way, the smallest version of the violation of that law is what denishd Suza went to prison for. I think we were talking about five thousand dollars with him. Normally they at that level, they don't send people to jail. They did. I'll let you judge why this goes back to the double standard. However, this is in the millions and they remove the charge and people are looking at that going

isn't that a shocker? Now there's not going to be a discovery process around this, like nobody. The argument is Democrats and probably some Republicans don't want a court case digging into these donations, and obviously so they carve it out. Now the excuse that the DOJ used and they're being disingenuous here, and I'll explain why they said that they had to drop the charge because the officials in the Bahamas objected to them charging him with a charge that was not listed

in the extradition request, which is not unusual. Generally when it comes to extradition requests, the entity who's doing the extraditing, the country that has the agreement with the country where the suspect is has to disclose where they're going to charge it. It's like in Mexico, if somebody can get to Mexico as part of an extradition agreement, Mexico will not extradite if somebody is facing the

death penalty. Ironically, just standing around some cities in New Mexico or in Mexico is facing the death penalty, but I digress, so they won't bring him back. This is an issue we ran into with the guy who was accused of killing the Wait County sheriff's deputy. He got to Mexico. Mexico said, will extradite, but you can only do it if you promise not to seek the death penalty, which we have a quasi moratorium anyway. So but in this case they didn't list this, and so the Bahamas said,

no, you listed all the other stuff, you didn't list this. We can't have it. And the reason they want that is because as part of the agreement, it's built on trust. You know, if you have an extradition agreement and you lie and then you bring somebody back and then you charge him with the bunch of other stuff, the other country feels as though it's not an honest agreement. Make of that what you will. But acting like they had no choice, the choice was made. It was just made earlier.

It wasn't made yesterday when they dropped it. It was made at the time they put the extradition request. The Bahamas has nothing, They have nothing in their law that would prohibit extraditing and charging somebody with campaign finance violations.

They just want to see it on the sheet of paper. So if you're doing the extradition, and they did that pretty quick, and you want to make that part go away a little later, the sneaky thing to do is not included, and then later go, oh, well, we wanted to charge them with it, but we can't. Our hands are tied. See,

it wasn't on the sheet. And our agreement with the Bahamas, like many extradition agreements, says that we will list all the charges except in some circumstances where we may have to amend it with their agreement, and so you just don't include that, kick it later and go my hands are tied.

That's the part. That's the part I think people are missing here. That's my opinion what happened here, because there's a lot of people up in DC who don't want a court case and discovery and testimony drilling into that for obvious reasons. Now again he continues to be charged with was it seven other violations, facing literally decades in prison, but not the one where we could start seeing some names of some of the very lawmakers who hung out with this dude

and took fat stacks of cash around election time. All right, that seven sixteen case O Day Radio program. I know at some point you go around, you'll be talking to people today and somebody will bring up global warming. You may roll your eyes, whatever, you may engage, you may not

engage, but I want you to know you can correct them. I'll explain what's up with that coming up on the case O Day Radio program, Your Day Smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk five w PTI more with Casey starts Now it's my go to you gotta be on the air and you sound like this. You get the today quill um, the Walmart brand apron here that I have, and then a hot potty. You're good to go. You ever rock the hot toddies when you're when you're losing your voice

on the air. Never you know what a hot toddy is, right kind of maybe? So it's got the lemon, uh t I got a black t here, uh, honey, bourbon uh and cinnamon. So well, it definitely would not work out for me. Well, you don't have to have that in there. Um, this one, it does not have bourbon in it. Actually, um seven twenty three's usually that's a that's a little early even for me. But yeah, later in the day he might a little slip that in there. But no, it's it's it's great even without

that, the honey in the lemon, the rock on man. So hopefully that'll carry us through to the promised land of nine o'clock. All right, uh eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four, I'm not gonna go down that road. I was gonna point something else out on the Nancy. Well, you know what, screw it. I don't feel well, so um, I'm gonna do it. It's my day. I did notice, and you know, it comes down to the algorithm. I'm sure.

As I was scrolling around on Twitter yesterday looking at people who are reps over the Nancy Mace thing, you know, it ran the gamut what's his bucket? From Daily Wires, um Um did the what is a Woman? Video? I don't know, you know the guy I'm talking about, he was not pleased others, But it was a lot of women, a lot of like the you know, Ashley Saint Clair and some of the you know, the ones that have mid range following on there. And I have a theory

as to why that was. Maybe I'm wrong, Maybe I'm not. If if if if a woman wants to call in and tell me I'm an idiot, more power to you, Maybe I am. I think that some of that was driven or at least the momentum was partially because Nancy Mace is easy on the eyes. Do you think that there's any any truth to that that maybe that might have driven in some of these women to comment, because there's it's always this kind of subconscious thing that you wonder if it's playing a playing

a part in that. But if she looked like Lizzo. Do you think everyone would be as mad? It is my question, especially a lot of the female pundits. I'm just asking. It's a theory again, maybe it's off base. I don't know. You tell me. I'm not even gonna drag poor Ross into it, but I'm dragging you into it. I think that that that did. Uh. I think that brought about some of the ire, even if it was subconscious, because um, yeah, like competition

stuff. Don't don't hey, don't blame me for having in my head either. You know, I've been told, like many women, I don't. We don't do We don't spend this much time getting dressed like this for you. This is for other women in that sense, which is fine whatever, as long as it look. If you go out and you feel good, then you know you're going to be in a good mood and it's more pleasant

to hang out with somebody like that. So no judgment there. But yeah, I kind of wonder about that, mostly because I'm right, all right, let's get into this here. So the head of the UN, in a speech yesterday, decided that this global warming thing ain't getting it done. Man, you're not paying attention some of the new video Oh my gosh, the videos of the stop oil people and the truck drivers. Those are getting crazier and crazier by the day. That might have something to do with people

checking out on this. So the UN chief decides we need to do something to really ramp it up. So he makes this announcement because I guess he's President of the world or something, and you're gonna care. But here it is, and for scientists it is unequivocal. Humans are to blame. All this is entirely consistent with actions and repeated warnings. The only surprise is the speed of the change. Climate change is here. It is terrifying, and

it is just the beginning. The eata of global warming has ended the idea. The heat of global boiling has arrived, all right, So there it is is unbreathable, the hit is unbearable, and the level of fossil full profits and climate inection is unacceptable. Okay, So global boiling we're going with. So global warming is unfortunately out. Global boiling is what you need to

go with, so you can really ramp up the panic. Didn't they didn't They try to do this like a year ago with what was a climate emergency, right, remember when that was kind of the go to phrase climate emergency climate the White House, excuse me, Members of Congress, maybe I should put some bourbon in this, um, Members of Congress, And uh, you know, all the news people are like, it's a climate emergency climate

because they understand the controlling the language. Man very important that at least that doesn't sound as stupid as climate boiling, go, climate melting or something. I don't know, man, climate boiling. But hey, he's he's the head of the UN and you're not. So thank you, Antonio Gutierrez for your keen insight. We'll be back keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle.

Welcome back, Happy Friday. Eight is seven thirty five here on the Cacoda Radio program. Oh thank god, it's halfway. I've been um. I woke up this morning, I'm like, I'm right on the edge whether I should do the show. I'm gonna do it, it's Friday, whatever, And then like every ten minutes I just felt worse and worse and worse. So that's awesome, But by then it's like God, it's too late. We'll just do it so coming up on the show safely, you know,

from a distance, so we don't get him sick. Pete Calendar will join us. Eight oh five got all sorts of insanity to get into locally, nationally, internationally, we got aliens, all sorts of craziness. Man, and this happened in Holly Springs. So, um, but I so I didn't get into this story yesterday, and I was kicking myself when we got done with the show, so let me let me get into this.

So some dude got arrested at the sheet station in Holly Springs and I was normally I was going to look at it, not a story we do. And then I saw a weapon of mass destruction as one of the keywords, and I'm like, well, we're gonna be clicking that, so click away, and um, this is crazy and then I and then I realized where that where? That sheets. I've been to that sheets, and I thankful

edn't run into a dude like this. But still, I know some of you probably go through the sheets, and people like news from places they go, so so they get a call to go over to the sheets, and um, there to reload the story. Hang on, just browsers, even my browsers sick this morning and now it's loading it twice. Thank you all right? Uh fifty year old man by the name of Norman Bray was was arrested. Here's the story, Uh Norman bray Was the way they wrote this

is weird. Okay, here we go. Holly Police. Holly Springs Police on Wednesday arrested Bray for having an improvised explosive in his car outside a sheets gas station, the one on a Van Ferry Road. Officers were conducting a business check at the store around five pm when they noticed Bray acting suspiciously. Why are they doing it? Is that a normal thing for Holly Springs PD? Or is that store had some issues? Or I'm just talent gossip over

here. Maybe that's normal and maybe if I check, they mean getting some coffee because you know, nothing's really happening, which is fine? Is there breaks? Two? Police say that they saw him acting suspiciously. They located his ninety nine too out of four runner in the parking lot. During the investigation, officers found controlled substances, hazardous materials, and an improvised explosive device.

They arrested him and actually evacuated the store. Prosecute has asked the judge to increase his bond during a court hearing Wednesday, asking the judge to increase it to based on the seriousness of the situation. They wanted two hundred thousand. I think the judge gave a one hundred and twenty thousand. He charged with the possession of a weapon of mass destruction, possession of meth and phetamine, manufacturer of meth, possession with intend to distribute, and possession of drug

fair or finalia. All right, so it sounds like dude's a drug dealer, drug manufacturer's Walter White. What's the improvised explosive device? Well, they have a lawyer in this article here saying that the weapons of mass destruction charge is a broad term and even something like a sawed off shotgun, So an under legal barrel length shotgun can be considered a weapon of mass destruction. I

did not know that. So in this case, police believe Bray had in a homemade explosive device, but they don't get into specifics, so like a pipe bomb or something bully crap I would have gone to jail. I told you, man, we'd make little pipe bombs in welding shop and go blow up the gravel pile out on the agg parking lot. Now we'd all be in Gitmo, ah, the good old days. The only thing we've got in trouble for was using all the ascettline and mister Miller got really upset.

But we had fun and that's what counts. And we learned a weld So there you go. So, is that is that normal for if you're a drug dealer running around with that? Like? Is there a situation we might have to throw a pipe bomb in the rival's car or what could I'd be nervous just puts around town with that thing. Man, get you getting a

small fender bender and something goes wrong and you didn't do it right. You're not selling meth anymore allegedly, So so I guess what I'm asking is there, like, is they're doing like business checks and uh miss your alleged meth dealers hanging out over there with his bombs and stuff. Is like I've stopped at that sheets didn't I didn't get the impression it was dicey for those who lived down there. And is there's something I need to know over. You

know, I don't want to be hanging around pipe bombs and stuff. So eight eight eight ninety three four seven eight seven four let me get a Holly Springs or somebody who commutes through their little spy report, because I don't know sheets sheets looks like a sheets man trying to think if there's any sheets that I found, particularly sketching. Not really, I don't know that I've ever

been stopped at one where I'm like, I don't know about this. The ones that I stopped at most well, obviously the Ralegh ones, but and then in greensbro we got one south to the studio, and then Yadkinville when I'm going up to the mountains because it's easy to stop and shop, and they got an ABC on the south side of the freeway, and then you go the sheets on the north side. But no, I never get a

sketch five there. So maybe somebody knows something I don't. All right, seven forty two and uh we uh, like I said, we're not according to the UN, We're not doing uh global warming or climate change or any of that. We're doing climate boiling now. So we are ramping up the scare factor and to aid in that race Ageck there, let's see if he wants to join in the un party here. Oh not yet. Oh, I thought I had the perfect timing, perfect ramp lead into the story coming

off, you know, the big sheets bomb story. I got a friend who doesn't He said he didn't like sheets. He doesn't go to sheets. He he says, it's there's too much. He's gonna hate BUCkies if they get that thing built over. Boy, even, what do you mean? Don't even everybody should go to what BUCkies once in their life on much like you're you're that guy too, huh, I am, it's just too much. I mean everything under the sun. You could possibly imagine what like hundreds

of gas pumps too. Try. Yeah, you can try to get in there, and it's just no, I'm good, I'm good. Okay, it's busy. But their jerky game is on point. They're in there. Oh yeah, they got own and they got a just a bunch of stuff, and they do they do some of the dry jerky. I don't know what it is like out west, most of the jerkys were the really dry stuff. And out here there's a company called ACS. But you can only get in like the Triad area and then just you know, in some surrounding

areas. I grabbed tons of that stuff. When I was over in Greensboro last month, I grabbed a giant box of it. I've cleaned this poor lady out at the gas station. She's looking at me like a crazy I'm like, it's different than the stuff that's all moist, and I want the dry stuff. So um AnyWho, Yeah, yeah, just can't win in US. Used to restroom happens, kids and my wife love it. I was like, nah, good, I'll take the zero. I'll see you out in the car. Where did you got You have one down in Atlanta?

Yeah, just north north As. You had a near past lake out twun seventy five heading toward Tennessee. Yeah, first when in North Carolina if had happened, so okay, yeah, about forty minutes. So yeah, they even took a day trip when it first opened. I was like, nope, I'm good, I'll go into pool. Speaking of okay, so heat Advisor now Triangle, Um not for the try it, but you know,

I mean usually the difference is only a degree or two. Some days it's even the same, and some days it's even hotter to the try it as as a triangle, but traditionally, like yesterday's ninety seven triangle and now the triad it was ninety four, there is usually a little bit of a difference. So I think that's why no heat advisor. Now take a listen to where and when the heat was record heat for the tryad one oh four in nineteen fourteen, so it's been a whole heck of a lot hotter here

a long time ago. And the triangle the record for the date is one oh four nineteen fifty two. So we'll have heat, hazy sunshine, maybe a shower thundershower this afternoon, and still the mid nupper nineties, some spots over one oh five of the heat indecks where the heat advisory is but not record warmth. I think we go mid nineties for Saturday, probably a little

bit nineties Sunday a little bit better chance. We get some showers thunder showers, and then early next week we got a pretty decent tree coming in case ninety Monday, and then back of the eighties Tuesday Wednesday. I think the first couple of days of August are actually going to feel real nice. All right, We'll hold you to it and then check your work here in an hour. Appreciate it, sir, Thank you very much. I saw I watched a video one time. I put this story in the stack, and

Ross probably thinks I'm was like, why is that in there? But there is a video and it's kind of a known thing, and it was I think the title it was on YouTube. It was a documentary and I don't word originated from, but it was pretty interesting. It was like the title was something like how degenerates saved Hollywood, which I thought was interesting because Hollywood

is to generates in many cases. But what they were talking about is the adaption at a much quicker pace than initially anticipated of VHS technology, and how one of the reasons that that scooted along as quickly as it did and people got more comfortable with having a home movie options rather than go into the cinema was because almost immediately when the technology hit people who wanted adult films, they had a rabid demand because they didn't want to go sit in a theater with

a bunch of other creepy people surrounding them. Well, you know, I guess that makes sense. So they embraced the technology more and more people and then obviously people who would buy a VC for that. We're behind some of the movies and it literally it established the growth and it also helped change the technology faster. It was. It was quite fascinating. So I see this story here and I'm gonna be very delicate, but it's the same thing.

And what they're talking about is thought control devices, right. This is with what is Elon's neuralink. Right, So he's got the neural link, and I want to get into why the adult industry is really after this stuff. And ironically, even if you find that, you know, weird, and some of the stuff in the story that I'm not even gonna be able to read is extremely weird, it also advances the tech because they have to be able. The problem with it now and what their work out, Well,

let me do this. Let's hit our break and we'll come back and I'll explain what has been some of the stumbling blocks with the thought control device, but also virtual reality things like that. We'll get into it coming up here on the k c O Day radio program. After the show's on the iHeartRadio app. Searchs k c O D four the podcast on the iHeartRadio app.

All right, I'm gonna I will pick this DC. I promise I'm not gonna get into the details of what it is they're working on, but it it is interesting and it reminded me again of this documentary A watch where they were talking about the evolution of home video and why a lot of the technology and adopting of it was literally driven by people one in dirty Movies and like they have, I don't have. It's been a while, so I don't

have the numbers. But when you see the numbers they're presenting of really the types of tapes that were sold initially, and some of them some of the function changes from original VCRs because you know, people want to back it up a little, do a little fast forwarding in a couple of different ways,

so they added new features there. You realize a lot of it was driven by that consumer demand, albeit maybe for something they didn't expect, kind of like the only Fans guy who thought he was putting together a place where chefs could share recipes, and it went in a different direction, but on a

much greater scale. So now people who build some of the items that you can purchase at the adult store are working on thought controlled adult items, and it is a process and a science that is not obviously limited to this. There's lots of different companies working on this, whether it's thought controlled electronics, thought controlled games, you name it. This is a big thing that they want to crack because they realize it can enhance the our experience. There's a

lot of benefit there. However, now that the adult industry has got a hold of this, they're throwing real money, man, and they have to be more refined. One of the things the tech lacks right now, not just on the adult side but in any case is and this is what Elon Musk would Neurolink and others are working on, is intricacy. I guess it'd be the best way to describe it, like you can get it to do kind of what you want things to do, but there's not a real finite

thing. And if you're selling this kind of stuff like these guys are, the users want it because of what it is and what it does, it has to vibe with what that person is thinking specifically as part of what they're doing. You get what I'm driving at here, So being able to refine the ability to read mentally what it is you're asking the device to do, whether it is a device for adults or a device for kids, you know, like a some sort of learning iPad thing or something in schools. It

might be interactive. It's got to be more and more refined, and as the technology gets better, it will be. But right now it's still somewhat rudimentary. But I've found this rather interesting, this interview they did with the guy, because he's all in, because he realizes kind of the holy grail for his industry to get that, but also get that to really really read what people have in their mind, because everybody's different when it comes to that.

And the more specific it can be based on what you're wanting, I guess, the better it will be, is what I get from the article. But found that interesting and saw a little bit of comparison going way back there to the land of VHS and beta and everything else. Man, all right, let me grab this real quick. Yeah, I got time. Pete Calendar is going to join us here in just a few minutes. By the way, we'll do that at eight oh five. So this is NBC,

because of course it is. So how could the Barbie movie get more annoying? Even if you don't want to watch it. Here's how women around the world are taking their boyfriends to see Barbie in hopes of answering one fundamental question, is he enough? So this is what it is. It's the Barbie test. Some women put this online. It went viral and women are like, this is genius, and then they're filming themselves doing this or the

aftermath. So basically, you take your guy, could be a new guy, you're just going on a first date with your boyfriend, whatever, You take him to see Barbie, and then after Barbie you ask him a series of specific questions. What they're hoping to gauge is whether their male dates can understand or at least are receptive to the feminist messaging, Which is ironic because many of the people that are really doing the videos, uh, you know,

jumping all over this movie are very aware of the feminist messaging. But

I think they mean from a positive standpoint. So instead of just being able to go to a movie on a date and enjoy yourself and then talk about things you have in common or whatever, or going with your you know, your your state, your girlfriend, boyfriend already in a relationship situation, just having a you know, a couple hours to enjoy yourself doing what you do in a relationship or even in a date, like maybe that's not your your kind of movie, but you do it because the other person wants to go

and and you try to make the best of it, have a good job. But instead, no, they want an inquisition after and they want women to use it as a determination whether they should in fact keep dating him if he can't figure out the positive feminist messaging in there. I'm not going to get into all the questions because it's um and frankly, I would use this as a litmus test to know that I would not go on another date with you if you wanted to start feminist grilling me after me I thought we just

went to a movie or something. All Right, we'll be back he calendars next week. All right, you're morning everybody. It is eight o seven here on the case O Day Radio program. Glad to have you along, even if I feel like crap, but to make my job easier as I phone it in for a little while, we welcome to the show. Our radio buddy to the South, The mid Day's new to three WBT on the iHeart radio app. You want to catch it. Pete calendar with us. How you doing, sir? I'm doing all right? How are you?

I mean, I'm sick. And it's because they didn't expand Medicaid. I think they did just I'd be fine. Or or because my cleaning lady said she was sick wanted to send a replacement and I didn't remember her replacement Lise with her. So I think that's what's up because she was confident stuff. But I'm gonna go with the Medicaid thing because they you know, the governor is h he's very tore up about this, you know him. You saw his tweet where he's just like, oh, here's what we gotta do.

We gotta separate it from the budget. And I get I get Reagan tip O'Neill vibes, right, or they're like he's like, yeah, no, no, no, no, we'll do the amnesty and then after that we'll totally secure the border. It'll be fine. Yeah yeah, I mean, you know he'll pay you tomorrow for the cheeseburger today, obviously, and look, yeah, well obviously he has wanted these two. He wants the budget

and the Medicaid deal separated. He's wanted that from the beginning. But he kind of felt like he had to go along with it in order to get some win for his two terms. Right, so Republicans obliged him. And I remember getting into arguments with some conservatives on the Twitter machine or I guess it's the is it the X machine? Now? Like anyway the keep Yeah I am too, Yeah, I am too. It's a terrible, terrible

rebrand um. But they were trying to make this argument that, oh, well, he's going to have to sign the budget now you see, well, I mean he doesn't have to. He can still veto it and then you can override it. That's one way to do it. Yeah, but then he won't be able to claim that he, you know, got Medicaid expansion. And you're thinking, really, right exactly, we'll just interview about the business in North Carolina a few weeks ago, right exactly. He's claiming

credit for whatever he wants to know. The media is not going to care. They're not going to fact check him on that. So why do you think he wouldn't claim credit for something that he vo The guy veto teacher pay raises every single budget and he still is like, I'm the biggest defender of teachers so you know he's gonna yeah, so he's always wanted these two things separated, so it gives him a cleaner bill. But for a guy, I mean, it's not surprising that he's you know, blaming everything on medicaid

expansion not happening soon. This is the guy who said medicaid expansion would like solve well basically every single problem that has come down the pike and his seven years in office, every single problem can be solved with medicaid expansion. It

seems it's it is the panacea for all rules of North Carolina. And I continue to I guess maybe because I I don't get sweet hospital lobbyists calls and dinners and stuff, but I continue to be of the opinion when we're talking about childless, able bodied adults, there has to be a higher standard there than just oh, it's free money. It's actually our money, and then we send it and then we don't get it back and you're wasting all of

our money, and oh no, it'll always be free. There's just there's there's so much wrong with the argument, and ironically, all of these years trying to beat it in while they have suggested other ills that it may solve and r L had a few doozies this week. I just tend to ignore

him now I used to call them out. It hasn't changed, right, They didn't even attempt to negotiate the boundaries of it with the knowledge that we've seen from states like Ohio right where they said, oh, it's going to be free, everything's fine, and then Ohio immediately figured out, no, there's there's there's places here where we're having to fortify it with money to make

it work correctly. And that number continues to grow, like they agreed to this for whatever whatever a bargain was thrown to them, and they haven't even tweaked the parameters from what the governor initially was asked and for I don't get any of it, Pete, I fail to get it. I think they want the issue gone. I think that's what it comes down to. They're

tired of being hammered by Democrats and the media. But I repeat myself on the healthcare issue because Democrats and this happened, well, they learned this, I guess. In I think it was twenty twenty that they came to this conclusion that they can win with healthcare messaging and so that's what they have been using. And it may have been actually earlier than that, it may have

been twenty sixteen. So they just keep hammering a way at healthcare. And that's why, by the way they talk about you know, abortion as reproductive healthcare. There's a reason they say that. There's a reason they frame it as quote healthcare, even though it takes a life. Right. It's the point is that they know that they're polling is very good. It's better than Republicans on quote healthcare issues. They are seen as better for healthcare, and

so I think Republicans just want it off the table. And if they could get some concessions on the certificate of need reforms quote unquote, then they can tout those as saying, look, we got some you know, certificate of need reforms, as if they haven't been in control of the legislature for a decade, and as if the certificate of need is anything other than you know, rigging the marketplace to protect monopolistic powers, and that should be something Republicans

opposed in principle. And they have never been able to make these reforms. But now they're going to you know, pull the old Indiana Jones sort of switch aroo kind of deal. Give you the medicaid expansion, get that off the table. Oh, but a couple of con reforms, and look at us, we're conservatives. And then what they the media and the Democrats go home. They're like, no, everything's good. Now we're friends again.

We are yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah yeah. One of the things that irritates me, But from a more practical sense, it it's another step further into the depth of we're growing further apart and nobody is ever going to get along. So if you if there are dividing opinions on how we should handle something and adults aren't saying this is what I think, and another adult says that they can have a discussion about it so long as there is not

animosity at the start. And one of the thing, one of the things that I cringe is when I see people use like demon crats on one side,

or when they would call Trump what was a Cheetolini? Right, because you just the discussion is going nowhere except every time Biden says Republicans, he says, Maga Republicans are extreme, Maga Republicans dam near and the governor in about a third of his tweets throws that word extreme in there, and he's but he's trying to sell it to North Carolinians, some of which are Republicans who may be inclined to agree with him on the medicaid issue. There is

some cross polling for people, especially based on their situations. But then you throw that in there, and it's like, why are you doing it? Is? And what is what is? What is his next step? Where does he go after office? So I think there's so I think you're giving him too much credit. Um, he's not actually trying to talk to Republicans. That's why he uses those words. Um, he is trying to raise

money from his base. That's it. All of those tweets, all those messages, those are only designed for one purpose, and it is to generate interaction on social media to direct people to Act Blue. The website the funnel right where all the money flows to the Democrat officials and campaigns, and so that's all that's about, right, It's just it's just a fundraising tool. And you know it by the word the inclusion of those words of MAGA extremism

and all of that. So that's why they put those words in there. It's it's just a fundraising tool. That's for what's next. I'm not I'm not sure. I think maybe he looks at a Senate run um if he wants to continue to be an elected official. But I'm not. I don't know. I mean, they don't. They don't keep me in the loop

on his plans for some reason. Yeah, I've seen. There's been some articles and I'm sure you've seen him, whether where they were saying that perhaps he would make a good Democrat vice president everything from trade camal out, get camal out and get him in, or if Gavin Newsom runs and is to the point where he has to select a VP candidate, then maybe, although probably not because two white guys, the identity politics doesn't work. So I

don't know. But he fundraises a lot because I'm on the list. I'm on the mailing list for all of them, because I want to see what they're saying. So right, well, and you would think that for a guy like my good friend ray that Cooper, you would think that he would

be acutely interested. Along with Josh Stein, there would be governor the attorney general right now who is like these Both of them made their aged careers around this focus on customer and and citizen protections right, especially during hurricanes and stuff.

Make sure no one's charging you too much for gas and chainsaws. So for somebody, for both of them, who have spent so much time and attention on protecting the people, I'm kind of shocked that they haven't looked to protect their own donors, right, their own donors who have made small dollar donations to Act Blue, and apparently Act Blue is funneling all sorts of donations through these people's names in their accounts. These people have not made donations in

the tens of thousands of dollars. There are five, ten, twenty five dollars donors, and they sure as heck fire haven't made you know, a hundred or a thousand different donations. They may have done, you know, five or ten at the most, and you would think that from a consumer customer protection standpoint, that Spine and Cooper would be interested to track that down. But for some reason, I don't know why, there they don't seem

very interested. They're busy. They're very busy doing a wide variety of other things, like posting pictures of them with a slightly unbuttoned shirt that doesn't right out of the package, there'shing a kid on a slide or something. Yeah, yeah, yeah, and not defending state law and court. Yeah. Very busy, very busy man, very busy. Which I guess that's the new standard. Right. So if although when's the I'm trying to when was

the last time there was a Republican age in North Carolina. I don't believe there ever has been one? Well, there you go. So, but if the scenario presents, I mean, obviously you know what the reaction would be. But let me go back to the healthcare thing. We have to talk about something, and that's something is the hospice they're running up in the

district of Columbia. It seems like it's a very well run service. I mean a lot of people look like they're trying to get into it, willing to pay all sorts of one like millions of dollars to get into the facility. Yeah, yeah, but I want to talk about the medical aspect of it. Joe Fetterman, Joe Biden. Yesterday, of course, we had somebody who has been in the Senate the longest who failed to recognize standard procedure and everyone's like, oh, she just thought it was something else, she's

been there since. What's remember that dude who beat the other dude with a cane. I'm pretty sure she dumps that right, Yeah, yeah, she probably watched that, so don't give me that crap. And then of course Mitch McConnell freezing the other day, and then a couple hours later coming out and making a sandbag joke but not answering if you went to a doctor.

A lot of people are saying, well, what we need or term limits or we need age limits, and then of course any time it's a Democrat, they throw in the Supreme Court, not realizing that if you put an age limit on it, then people nominating might be inclined to go as young as possible, maybe not the most qualified, but I address So, what are your thoughts on all of this? Is that something that maybe is needed

in one place not the other or I don't know. Well, I think first off, what we what we are asking for is self awareness in some of these elected officials. And I understand it. You know, I get it. You get older and you don't want to admit that you're you've lost a step, or you know you're not as you once were. Nobody likes admitting that nobody likes acknowledging that until finally, like the proof kind of hits

you in the face. And I think, you know, with McConnell, like, I got a call yesterday from a retired doctor and he was like, that's probably He called it something like an absent seizure, which is probably related to the fall that he took. He got a concussion or something a couple of months ago, and so there could be probably some blood. He needs to go in for a CT scan, he said, immediately, and that that should happen. And maybe that's why McConnell's not talking about it.

So the first thing is, you know, go go get some medical attention. You know, you're making jokes about it, but you know you should take your health seriously. But on the other hand, I think that you know, what we would like to see is for people to say, you know what, it's time for me to retire. But then how do you look at a guy like Chuck Grantley, who's I think what he's like ninety nine or something, and uh, and he's wanted for another six year term,

but he seems he seems still to be with it, right. I mean, he's leading the charge in the sentence on the min artist standpoint on a lot of the whistleblower investigation. So, yeah, I don't know. The age limit thing is a yeah, there are pros and cons to it. I'm not sure, you know, I'm not sure. I like the idea that I'm not gonna say his name because a lot of people would know him. He's he formerly was but a pretty high profile in the business world

here in North Carolina. Um, he's in his eighties and he's he's still one of the sharpest people out there, man. And it's just like I would never, I would never, I would question, uh, Maxine Waters versus this dude, right well, right, And so it's it's not cookie

cut, you know, one size doesn't it all. And then of course you figure out how would they how would they manipulate the process, because that's what they do anytime there's something so well, I think term limits gets at part of what the concern is, right when people refuse to step aside, and the term limits can help advance that. But you know, but that's

a different kind of discussion on the age front. Yeah, it's it we're judging them based on their performance and that's why people are making the comments about Joe Biden because it's so obvious that he's in decline. And the people who were saying, oh, it's obvious that Donald Trump has some you know, some declining faculties as well, all of those people are just completely silent on

Joe Biden. It's just people don't want to see it when it's their guy because they were afraid of losing the power that their guy has and they think that that kind of you know, inures to their benefit. Well, and and that's exactly, and I was going to use that example. And I'm glad you brought it up. Yeah, look at look at Trump's gate, look at him walk down that we ran right right. We need the twenty

fit, We need to do this. And the reality is once you realize that that is yet another tool to defeat your enemy, just like impeachment turned in the last last time, and maybe the Republicans do it this time, it's it escalates, it never backs off with them. The nuclear option was a good example, and we are where we are. If this becomes the norm, just like impeachments became the norm, it's you're just driving it into the ditch. Everything you do, man. Yeah. Well, and this

is what I said to Elissa Farah, who is on the View. She's one of the hosts on the View. And I knew I know her from when she used to be Mark Meadows as comms person and then she went to the House Freedom Caucus as their comms Galt and so and so she has all of her Twitter stuff locked down. Only people that she follows can reply.

Well, she follows me, so I got to reply. And when she says, oh, we shouldn't impeach Biden because the precedent uh, you know, attack him over policy, defeat him at the ballot box, and I'm like, I made that argument on Trump's first impeachment that they're setting a terrible precedent here. Well, that precedent is now set. These are the new rules. And in fact, the Constitution is very explicit about bribery being an impeachable offense. So of all things to bring you know, Biden up on,

is the bribery charges. Right to indict or to impeach him over bribery and build the evidence, you know, build the case. But the precedent is set. We are on the road. We are on the road. I just have about thirty seconds left, so we'll kind of leave it there. Plus, I've now been on a thirst strike for about sixteen minutes, so really I did it overnight. I did a thirst strike overnight all night. Pete Gandhie Calendar. Thank you very much, sir, appreciate it.

You here next week, so we'll chatt in a couple Okay, sounds good to have a great weekend. All right, there you go, Pete Calendar. A um a man willing to do the tough stuff to prove his prove his point or or sleep. Anyway, We'll be back. Hang on, everybody. This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk nine four five w PTI in the Triad. Oh oh, Boston, Paul, you need to pay attention. I'm not I'm not gone next week. I'm here next week. Pete Callender is off Friday, so he will

not be doing the radio thing with us in the morning. Now, you're stuck with me unless like I don't know, unless I have like double lung pneumonia or something. By the way, this dude man, and you do whatever is good for you. And I'll say this even though I know he's listening because I've joked about this in the past. We've shared some email like still I don't mean still like he is still doing it. I mean still like dude's running the still And at least once anytime there's a topic where he

feels he can offer me moonshine, he'll send an email. So let's talking about hot tidd He's like, uh no, what you want to do? Do you want to get some white lightning? Or you want to get some moonshine and you want to do a couple of shots real quick of it because it'll burn out the feeling in your throat so it won't hurt no more. And I'm like, I don't know, man, And then one and then once an hour after that you can do it? Do you want me to

send you some? And I'm like, I'm good, ros ain't gonna drink it. And I don't need a whole big I did them. I don't mind moonshine, and people have sent that's somebody give me some one time, and I ended up drinking a bunch down the beach and napping and then woke up a lobster. So there's a little danger there, but I'm good. Sir, it ain't my rookie season. I know how to get drunk and pretend I'm not sick. So but hey, he swears by it, so

everybody's got their ow a little remedy. Man. My mom had this stuff she would make and it had what did it have in it that I didn't like? Ah? So long she make this. It was a hot drink, it had light. I think it had an apricot in it, but it had like the seeds, and for whatever reason I was a kid, I didn't like the seeds there. And I'm not sure what the medicinal value was or she has got a deal on apricots all the time, but she swore that work because that's what her mom gave her, and I think it

worked. I don't know. I was a kid. So but moonshines your things, sir, then you do you no judgment, all right, But now we're good now. The personal we just sending food that's not packaged in its original thing generally shy away from that. So but nothing personal. All right. Let me kick over into this story because I mentioned it with Pete and to play the audio for you, because I realized I hadn't so yesterday Diane Feinstein Ross, would you look up and see when Feinstein started in the

Senate. I was gonna do that, and I just forgot. I believe she is. I think she might even be a longer serving than Grasslely. Actually, even though Grassley is in his nineties, I think she's the longest serving active member of the Senate right now. If not, she's easily top two, top three, they'd have to be top two. It's her, Grassley. So you know her sitting there and it's voting time, and she

knows it's voting time. It's not speech time. Speech time was before, or a speech time was if they decided to make time for speech time. Sometimes they just go in and vote. It's not speech time. And in this instance it's she knows the procedure. She's been doing it the longest. So when this happened, let me play the audio, and you're gonna hear another senator and you're gonna hear her aid in couraging her because she has now started a speech when all that she's being asked to do is say yay or

nay, or to not vote. I guess sometimes people cannot vote there or abstain. I guess it was the word I'm looking for, but this is what actually happened. UM say for me, yeah, uh, to say, I would like to support a yes vote on this um. It provides eight hundred and twenty three billion. That's an increase of twenty six billion for the Department of Defense, and it funds priorities submitted. Her whole staff sitting there around ye to say, Okay, just I thank you, dude.

I've had I've had beef with Diane Feinstein. Obviously her whipping out that letter during the Kavanaugh hearing at the last minute. That was that dirty pool all day. I just feel I feel really bad for her man sitting there listening to that because they didn't just wait until she got off track. They're telling her right off the bat what to say, and it's got you know what, It sounded like a butt. A much sadder version is Celebrity Jeopardy Categories

on SNL. Right, They're like, um, what what was one of the down I'm drawn like on the example, not the weird named ones, but it's like the color orange, right, and it's like every answer is just orange. But he can't get the you know, the people playing the celebrities there to say it because they're also stupid. As the bit goes, well, that's not what's going on here. Diane Feinstein, when she was at her peak is I wouldn't say she's stupid. I think she's wrong on

a lot of stuff. But this right here, from the get go, from the moment they come to her, her staff is already of the opinion that she's not going to do what she's supposed to do or why else would you just tell her say I say I listen to it at the beginning, UM say yeah, uh to say I would like to support she started the speech. After that they said, it's the Essenel thing is meant to be funny, it's over the top. In this instance, it has that feeling

but in a sadder way. And I'm not going to hold Republicans harmless on this because they and the Democrats have created this, this situation, this you know, this extra dirty trick where you're not able, you could lose control

of the committee. I let's say dirty trick. But this parliamentary procedure that doesn't prioritize doing something if it's clear than a member who is making decisions that affect three hundred and well more than I say, say three hundred and thirty million, but also many decisions that affect people from outside the country who come here to visit or do business. There needs to be a procedure for that.

I get the arguments where people say that what will happen is people will use that procedure disingenuously, where somebody will maybe be outed for some health thing

there. But the reality was they just wanted to get them into that office ahead of the next election, to maybe give them a bump, like they're the you know, the current senator, you know that which you know which, which carries some water if there's enough time there and yeah, will people abuse it, probably, But what's more detrimental being able to call that out like they abuse everything else, or her having no understanding of what's going on

in there and voting on it. I don't know. You can tell me right now. She hasn't been in office as long as they thought she was, Like in the Senate. Her first she was born in thirty three, Okay, her first elected office was a board a supervisor in nineteen sixty nine. Then she became the mayor of San Francisco. She didn't join the Senate till nineteen ninety two. That's she was. Was she mayor board when Harvey

Milk was assassinated? That's right, right, Yeah, so nineteen ninety two is when she entered the Senate. Okay, but I think she's the longest serving female senator. Yes, but yeah, but she's been in politics since what nineteen sixty nine. I mean she knows how this stuff works. Yeah, But the learning curve in the Senate for when it's time to vote or when it's time to give a speech, like I if it's your first time and you're nervous, I got you. But this is this is muscle memory

stuff for senators. They already know what's up. They they they talked to the whoever their whip is, and they figured out where they're going. And other than some flair for the dramatic, like John McCain with the thumb down, this is this is stuff. You know. You know, it is busy work, it is housekeeping. But yesterday it was just really weird. All right, Race agent from the Weather Channel, the Yellow Weather house keeping for you, like stay in your house, yeah, find a cool pool.

Some of them not even refreshing my pool water temps like in the upper eighties and now it's just kind of like it works. But yeah, kind of maybe I've I've had hotter, and I'm gonna jump quickly off to the beaches especially I've had hotter, yeah, believe it or not. Yeah,

South Carolina Beaches down toward the Georgia Beaches. Actually with the Hurricane Center, they just kind of put an X, a yellow X on this little area of thunderstorms put a zero percent chance of developing though, but it is kind of making a little messy and a little more cloud down at the south southeast of US. So if you're heading to South Carolina beaches, maybe North Carolina Beaches, the southern beaches there, maybe some more clouds and maybe a couple

of showers today. Other than that, he did advisory triangle try it no heat advisory. But everybody in the mid to upper nineties today with the heat and decks or that feels like temperature one oh five or hotter and a chance of a shower, thundershower, better chance of some afternoon showers thunderstorms over the weekend, still gonna be hot and humid, load of mid nineties on average, and the heating us between one hundred one oh five. Nice break coming

next week though more seasonable temperatures. I might get some lows by maybe Wednesday morning in a load of bid sixties, possibly some upper fifties, especially out into the mountains. So a little hot, humid stuff here for a few more days. Nice farm to come on in. We'll start off August with some pretty nice weather. Yeah. Like the balancing Act is make it so that if you if you're willing to make the trek up into the mountains,

you can get that relief. The best part about driving up, like going when I'm going up to Sparta or whatever, is that the highway that gets you up onto the mountains and watching your thermometer go from like ninety to seventy nine. Yeah, it's and that wasn't even possible for a long time. So better days ahead. All right, thank you sir, appreciate it a week Yeah you too. We'll chat with Jeff Bellinger next. Hang on smart talk all day ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one

FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, good Friday morning, eight fifty three, your Blueberg update now, Jeff Bellinger, what's going on? Well? Good morning, Casey, and happy Friday. The Dow's winning streak is over and ended at thirteen sessions. Stocks started out higher yesterday, but the mood soured as the day went on. The major averages had losses that range from around half a percent to two thirds percent. Futures look good this morning.

The Dow futures are up one hundred and fifty three points. We earned and spent more money last month, the government reports. Americans personal incomes rose three tenths percent in June, while consumer spending up half a percent. Mattel's chief executive tells Bloomberg that while sales of Barbie dolls and accessories were down in the spring, demand has rebounded the summer products they're selling out thanks to the

Barbie movie. Mattel is already thinking about a Barbie sequel and says we could see more movies based on the company's playthings. The economy's performance is perplexing to those who try to figure out where it's heading. The latest datis suggests that instead of heading for the long predicted recession, activity is actually picking up.

So maybe we need some more terminology. Some economists are now talking about a rolling recession that only affects some industries or a rich session, with the majority of layoffs setting higher paying occupations. And Casey, the commercial real estate market is changing. A factory building boom is underway that was part of the recent economic growth picked up in the second quarter, but the amount of office space and the US is declining, possibly for the first time ever. There's very

little new office construction. Older offices are being repurposed or torn down. Meanwhile, the Wall Street Journal reports strip malls or having their moment as retailers look to move closer to their customers. Casey, all right, have a good weekend, sir, and we will chat Monday. Sounds good. You have a good weekend as well. Take care here you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. All right, a couple quickies before were we roll out of

here this stories. Although I don't know why they took so long to you know, come back with the findings. I'm pretty sure everyone in that room or in the exhibit knew what was up. And actually it's kind of so. There is an aquarium, the Florida Aquarium, the wiz A Mote Marine Lab, an aquarium which is in Sarasota, Florida, and like many aquariums in Florida, it's actually pretty nice. They have manatees, right, everybody

loves manatees, the sea cows, all of that, and so. But in their manatee exhibit, they have two manatees, one named Hugh and the other one is named Buffett or Buffet, I don't know, oh you pronounced that, but any who, they're brothers, but there's something else about them, and regulars and staff knew this. They like to hook up, and so that was a thing that happened, and you know, their manatees whatever, But it is something that the aquarium says that they were keeping an eye

on, but they didn't feel that there were any problems. Unfortunately, though, back in April, as folks were there getting some photos looking at the manatees. People love manatees, it turned really dark, according to officials who

just this week have announced what they say they feel happened. Hugh or excuse me, Buffet decided he wanted he wanted and something and his brother wasn't given it to him, so he took it and he did so he literally killed his brother doing it in front of people there just take pictures of manatees and then for what they said, they're in doing investigation and now this is what

the investigation has yielded. So the fort official Wine Life says this is not simply something with lab animals, that it's actually behavior that is observed in wild manatees too. So I don't know, I don't know what's up with manatees man, but maybe need an intervention or something. Although people are wondering why they didn't separate them, because not just because they're brothers and they're both dude manatees, but also that behavior in the wild can get aggressive as well.

It's just more terrifying when you got a bunch of kids on a fuel trip watching it. So there you go. That's the answer to that. A little cherry on top for your Friday show. I don't feel good now, you feel uncomfortable. That's how we roll. But stay cool out there to the extent you can this weekend, and just know that every day this week there was something crazy that just popped up. So who the heck knows what's coming this afternoon. And of course we'll get into next week more on the

Trump indictments. We'll have more stuff, and also why a handyman is indicted this alive every dude for moving boxes that his boss told them to move. There's got to be something more there, so we should we should have a little more as we get into early next week, as the leaks will no doubt make their way to the usual suspects. It's so weird how they always do that. And of course they'll be you know, not the whole story,

but yeah, it'll be out there and we'll be into it. Plus whatever news is breaking right here case O Day Radio program have a go on h
