Friday-12-1-2023

All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is Friday, k c Ota Radio program. Phone number on this fine morning eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four, which is good because that's the phone number on you know, all the mornings. Well, that's good, sweet all right, call screener, reboot. I think we probably gonna get calls at six o's six, but whatever, six oh eight. I guess there we go. Ah, what a day. Wait, where do I start?

Well, let me let me start here. You know, one of the things in radio that's especially talk radio, that's really important is you don't you know some talk radio hosts are an expert expert in a narrow bit of a narrow topic, right, You know, like one thing like the you guys, you know, guy does a car radio show, right, and you call in with your car problems, he'd better be master mechanic, right,

hunting and fishing show. You want guys to do hunting and fishing and more than just the average joe so that they can impart wisdom upon other individuals or at the very least ideas, whereas in talk radio you kind of you just want to be a little knowledgeable in a lot of things and even though you may have something you're really knowledgeable in, you gotta be able to drum up the ability to discuss things that maybe are not your wheelhouse and still make it

interesting and yeah, even learn some stuff yourself. I am not a professional football coach. Ross have you ever, in any capacity worked as a NFL coach? And yet kind of I played a super tech mobile okay, and in a coaching mode like at length when I was a child. So some experience in the field. Yes, So you think that that puts you on par with the you know, I won multiple champions thirty two current professional I guess thirty one. The pay is different, It is slightly different. I

would agree with you there. However, Okay, well, I want you to think about what you learned in your extensive coaching career. Would you say that, hypothetically, if there was an NFL game that was an amazing offensive performance zero punts Right, when there's zero punts, it's either a dumpster fire to the you know, on an eleven or a pretty crazy fun game to

watch. Now, if you're the team who is the underdog, and I don't mean by a little like everyone's like you're just here to get beat up on for the real game next week, and you find yourself in a position at the end of that game to win it even though you're not quote unquote America's team. Do you, over the course of the game and then jammed right at the end, commit ten penalties, including six holding penalties that fundamentally

change the game so you cannot win. Would you hypothetically instruct your team to go out and hold for no reason on what judging by what we've seen that evening was, you know, a coin toss, it best that they were going to get America's team to win. Now is this me or am I talking for like Sean McDermott, I am, I am no, Uh, we're going with you because remember I would not you would not commit the penalties. Okay, I'd say to my guys, we'd huddle up and I say,

hey, don't do that, right, right? Right? Do you think maybe there's another possibility as to how penalties you get called? But maybe your guys did listen to you, do you know? So you're saying that me as the coach, I did say hey, guys, don't do that. Yeah you did, probably, but they're still being called. You're saying right, Yeah, impossible. Is that possible? I don't multiverse. I always tried time travel. I was trying to come up with all the different

reasons. There's a reason WWE was trending next to the game yesterday. Okay, it has been I will say this, it's been really bad this year. Yeah. Not. I mean in like almost nearly every game it's and it always seems to go for like certain team, almost as if there's sort of a script there trying or there. You know, maybe they're betting on the games. I guess. I don't know if you've heard that. That's the thing I've heard. It possibly could be happening. Who's betting on the

games? The refs? Oh, just say because I bet on the game sometimes. No, I know, I'm saying that the pole are throwing in the flat that is out there could possibly be betting on the games? Would you check it? Make sure I'm not an NFL official? Yeah, I could check. No, you're not. Okay, I'm not all right, So I'm good to go. Al Michaels, who was announcing the game yesterday,

was so frustrated. At one point he said, and I pulled up the quote this morning, we're going to take the rest of the night off and let Cleate Blakeman call the game, just due to the sheer volume of penalties that were emerging, Cleate Blakeman being the head official for last night Yale, and and and I'm sure somebody who would never gamble on football, not at all. I will say Al Michaels is probably excited to actually have a

good game to call. I mean, I know he typically does Thursday Amazon game thing, but I mean, like we generally describe those as games in the past. No, I mean, to be honest, if you added up the totality of the quote unquote primetime games Thursday night, Monday night, Sunday night, they've there's been a lot of missess versus hits. So yeah, and frankly, I wasn't even that excited to watch the game, be honest with you, because I too assumed the Cowboys were gonna come in there

and kick the crap out of Seattle. And the fact that it was, you know, just one of those great, amazing games to watch. I'll give you another example. You're probably familiar with this game. I think one of the most amazing, greatest games that I've watched in a long time. Was a couple two three years ago when you guys were playing Kansas City.

What a frigging game the Minnesota Vikings Bills game, even though it wasn't just offensive shooter like I I you know, somebody's gonna come out winner, somebody's gonna come out loser. But at the end of the day, you're still like, that was great. You were entertained. I'll say, when it comes to the past of the years, some of the best games have been Bills games, yes, and then most of them haven't turned out in our direction, like and they're like, oh my god, we're ahead, Oh

my god, we're losing. Oh my god, we're ahead, my guy, right, and it goes back and forth until like the final second. Right. But I mean, I would prefer to win by forty and have that not happen every game. But here we are, right, And I'm only looking at it from a purely non political you know, uh thing there.

And and yes, even in those games, especially the Kansas Suity game, you know, some people wonder if there was some shenanigans there, but uh, that's part of sports too, right, the assertion that if things don't go your way, ah, you know the fix is in, right,

which is something that people say out of frustration. However, once you get a big enough sample size, and even if you chalk it up to really people who are bad at their job, I don't get what like if you're these, if you're these, if you are the professional sports leagues, that's gotta be like job one that people don't think your crap is rigged. Rather that what is it? I saw yesterday they're going after Lebron's manager for gambling, which is not against the rules, but he may but he says

he can't remember if he gambled on a Lakers thing. Right, that's the That's a guy twice removed from what you're doing in your league, and that's your concern. Well, the problem too with these officials is it's not a full time gig. Yeah. I get that, although they are paid, they are paid a lot more than they were following that little strike because they

saw what happened when they brought in the scab reps. It was. But the other thing is like, the NFL has no competition, so why do you need to fix what could be broken when you have no one to compete against? It is what it is and you're making a billion dollars and yeah, yeah, I know you will take what they serve up and you'll you'll you'll like it. Well, I think the way that you go about fixing that, because you're right, most people are not gonna stop watching it.

But maybe you jackass politicians could stop paying for their stadiums give them a little incentive there. There's a rumor going around that the New Bill Stadium is actually built on like tribal land. Yeah, well no, it wasn't where they lived, it was where they buried their dead. So okay, yeah that explain a lot. Yeah, like, oh is my team so cursed? Oh? Really? What you do is you put the guests locker room on right, they're like, why is our locker room separated from the stadium?

And all the way over here, it's like it's like the Miami State the Dolphin Stadium, where like one side is in the heat, like a heat and the winds in the shape. But you know, with the bills, it's like you're on curse land. Yeah. Yeah, you take the visitors locker room, you put it about one hundred yards away where the cemetery starts, and then you know the bills are over on something. The Catholic Church is blessed, or say you know something I don't know. They figure it

out. But anyway, hold on, this is my other NFL. I got two NFL stories that and well this is interesting. See I had this story here about an NFL player who was arrested and I don't remember that that headline. Here's the headline former Denvers Bronco and La rams stor he forgot Super Bowl winner accused of assaulting a pregnant person. Hm, you might have to talk about that. Let me do this. We'll take a break. We'll get that. We got the Gavin Newsome Ron DeSantis insanity from yesterday. Keith

Olberman made it a day. Good for him. You know, the work ethic with moonbats to these days is it's nearly non existent. Yeah, we even got a mob story, so yay for that. But for now, we got a break. So hang on, all right, Good morning to you, Happy Friday to you. Is really mad? We're talking about sports. Well, listen to sports and turned on sports station. Listen not to

a live show you won't or not at a local show you won't. And by the way, sometimes sports meets news meets politics meets everything in this day and age. Case in point, former, I will read the headline as it's constructed in my packet. Sometimes I guess they change the headlines from the time I send the link to Ross and he has a chance to extract the story into the pack But seems to happen very interesting situations former Denver's Bronco A

Denver Broncos and l A Ramstar accused of assaulting a quote pregnant person. See this is where we get into the woke. Right. There's the main story as as to the accusations against von Miller, and then there's the why did you write pregnant person? And here's the thing I would understand if he was still with the La Rams, Right, I just assume that that level of garbage, woke verbiage, you know, permeates police reports out there in the

state of California. But he's not. He is currently in what I would consider probably one of the more conservative NFL cities, not that it's a conservative big city, but that it's more so more blue collar, more this and more people going just write girlfriend or woman assaulting quote a pregnant woman, And I don't look I don't know what all happened there. Ross and I were talking off the air. Obviously, you have the nine to one one call

where she's like, I've been insaulted, I'm pregnant. And then you have the reflective thing, which you know is the thing that you see in many situations like this of domestic disputes or domestic abuse, and that is you know, somebody's had a chance to reflect on it, and now I don't want nothing done. He loves me work forever. There's obviously he probably pays the

bills around the house, and so there's there's all of that. I can't remember the town he went to though, from La Broncos and Rams legend when Super Bowls with him, I mean, that's what he's most known for. Yes, I mean even in the tweet that's in the prep packet I sent you, I mean, what does it say in the actual tweet there underneath the headline, Oh here wait, in the prep packet that I put in front of you, there, hold on, hold on, there's the headline

that talks about to being a former Broncos Ram star. Yeah, and there's the actual tweet that was sent out from Ian Rappaport or whatever. And yeah, since here in our full story on the arrest weren't being issued for pass Rusher von Miller for alleged assault of a pregnant person. Yeah, and the tweet looks legit, right, there's nothing weird with that tweet. The pregnant person part. Yeah, it's super weird. Okay, I just want to clarify you, dude, I just want to That's what I talked about first.

Yeah. No, but you were acting like he was from a different team, and I'm saying in that tweet there's no team there, right, Oh, just what is this what we're doing? Okay, there's blank there, so doesn't Oh okay, I just thought, honestly, my brain wasn't working. That's such a good job in my party. Yeah, you're right, No, warn't being issued for blank pass, right, It's just you whited it out. So that's how dare you? Well, yes, I

know, I know you're just saying fakes. That's me. So this happens, right, Yeah, And I would say probably on the old ex Twitter machines, there's like a big portion of the fandom there. It Bill's mafia, right, We're like, this is gonna free up cap space. This

is awesome, and I'm like, you stay classy Bill's Mafia. Well wait, wait, hold on, what's the beef with von Miller from a playing standpoint, Well, he hasn't really, That's why I was say, when you think of von Miller, it's more and this isn't like self protection or anything. It's not because I'm a Bills fan. That's not why it is. So yeah, those thoughts this because he's you know, he actually accomplished things with the Broncos and the Rams, and for I don't know, since

he came back from his injury. It's like no rushes and no tackles, and it's like that's not true. He's he's accused of having a tackle right here. It's like it's even on the field. So the talk for a while has been, hey, how do we can we get rid of his contract because he takes so much cap space and they you have a big proportion of Bill's MAVI. That's like, oh, hey, here's our out because

every contract has that more. If they if you're right, yeah no, but if they fire him, or if they do do that, I think he has to go into court and claim that somebody in the Bill's front Office Donda von Miller costume like one of those uh, like it's the Winter Soldier, Like it's Winter Soldier, or it's Mission Impossible. Right, just a look. If they'll rig entire games, what what else will they do as a mission impossible civil war mask? Oh? Everything's terrible. Pregnant person,

give me a break. No, that's why so many people retire their ross. What are you dumb? Ross is doubting some Gavin News some claims from yesterday. It's a little uh little tit for tat. So if you didn't know Ron Desanti's Gavin newso they have their little uh back and forth. We're gonna play some cuts. But if you're interested in you got the time, you might go watch it. Obviously, Uh everyone's gone on the social media and handicapped who they thought one? So I get up this morning because I

believe it or not, I did miss debate. Oh no, so it was awful. I really wanted to watch. Yeah, yeah at the gym this morning. Yes, and I'm like, I wonder who won the debate? So I start scrolling on the old X machine, which is how you determine that. And the first like got big bunch of tweets. I see her post. Some seeing are like, oh my god, Newsom cleaned the floor with DeSantis. Oh really, Santis needs to drop out. He's an

awful candidate. Oh no, someone was an absolute masterclass and how to debate. And that's why just a bunch of university professor and Santis fell into this trap. And I'm like, well, here are these accounts. They have to be like big, like progressive lib accounts, right like moon bad accounts, the great accounts. And I click on these accounts and I would say probably eighty percent of them it was super weird. They were like maga accounts. I'm telling you, this is this is going to end so badly,

Like what is that about? This is going to end so badly now, don't get me wrong. Some of them were the crazy Yeah, yeah, of course, yeah, a lot of them. I'm clicking. I was like, I was really dumbfound I'm like, what is going on here, dude? And then as I start scrolling on, as the morning starts going on, I start seeing more things come in from you know, some pundits

that I'm used to seeing where the analysis was that DeSantis won. Yeah, well yeah, here's here is how I would, I guess handicap this if you operate under the assumption that both of them are roughly in the same have roughly the same ability to have a public debate in front of millions of people, which is not something everyone can do some people just but as professional politicians who who have achieved the governor's office and the respective states, it's obviously not

a problem for them. So then it comes down to, well, which set of facts do you get to argue and I the amount of gymnastics necessary, especially when you get into financial stuff and how it impacts the day to day lives of individuals within your states. Clearly, Ron DeSantis has an argument for those who don't need the government in every aspect of their life. And

here's the thing. Even people who would vote progressive, a lot of them have little beefs and little ticks and little problems with the heavy handedness of their

government in the same way that people who vote ultra conservative. They'll be you know, you'll hear them occasionally go, I can't believe that they didn't do this right where they have some expectation that the government and some oversight capacity is not doing something which is crazy because I feel like they're oversighting everything, including you know, it's word. I'm thinking of a brain conspiring with outside intelligence

agencies from other countries to bypass prohibition on busting up people's constitutional rights. So, you know, let's say that Ross is a country and I'm a country. Just so you can understand this. By the way, I'm going to be the USA in this. What home of the freelander? Ross is basically North Korea? All right, So anyway, but no, let's just say we're two countries, and let's go UK and the United States, and we

are intelligence sharing partners. If I'm country, if I'm country A, and I have a prohibition against violating the constitutional rights, and I sidestep it by going, all right, look, I can't monitor my own people. How about you monitor the Americans and then I will monitor the British citizens, and then we'll just give each other our homework. That's literally, that's literally what we're talking about here. So I you know, I think some people,

even if they love government, would be repulsed by that. And also I think there is hypocrisy sometimes where people want government to do nothing until it's vitally impactful for them, and then they have expectations, and I find my Look, I find myself walking right into that hypocrisy as well, and you have to stop or remind yourself. Look, is this really is this comporting with what you believe? Or is this making something easier for you? Which is

it? You know, something people battle with, not just from a government says, something they battle with with the you know, with the religion. Right, there's some stuff you know you're not supposed to do, but damn it sounds fun. Whoo right, yeah, I mean that stuff is open to interpretations. Well, I mean yeah, but some stuff so clearly outside the bounds, right, you know it's not I didn't render fully to what you know, what is Caesar's but Frank Caesar is a jerk, so and

you know I'm gonna do better with it anyway. That's that's where you can start getting the philosophical debates. Listen, listen though, But I mean that was that you know, it was written before currency, so it's open to interpretation, right, I mean it is that before you know it. You're on orgy island, right, It's like it's open to interpretation. Yeah,

that's that doesn't fly, man. So look I get it. I get it, But I don't know in the current economic situations, if there is the possibility to look at these two states and and this is based on their ability to basically, you know, make their case. How the math does it math for Ron? But if you know this, this this vitriol, this nastiness going on with and not everybody, but with some really vocal accounts on Twitter and some you know, some folks who quasi work for the campaign

that are just there to stir the pot. It's it's just so nasty and I don't think it's very productive. But that's just me. All right, Let's get to it. Let's start with Gavin new some strong argument that taxes, taxes are better in California. Did you know that because I lived in California at one time. Now, granted I didn't pay the full tax scope.

I was like there a nom though as a college didn't what do you know that old so late nineties, early two thousands, but even I having I could add some adult relatives there, and of course you have to go and you get to pay for everything. And I remember my greatest shock was when I drove to California and I had to register my vehicle and at the time, at the time as a kid, come the registration itself was like I want to say, it was five or six times what it was in

Wyoming. Then the inspection and then I show up and I think my total bill was like eight hundred bucks. Because California, even at that time, charged a five hundred dollars vehicle import tax. So if you brought in a vehicle that had never been registered in the state of California before, it cost five hundred dollars. And when you bought a vehicle, because again it had never been registered, even if you bought it in the state of California,

it was baked into the price. But somehow you're better than Florida. Please, I have to hear, whatever the hell this is. California has lower taxes, more lower than thirty two states for working families in the middle class, significantly lower taxes. Now I'm a caveat this stuff. One of the things, well, one of the only ways you can make the argument is

to slice andize very narrow things. But what Newsom fails to tell you is that when you add the totality of what people pay that could be construed as a tax or a user fee, and I have no fun I have no problem debating, you know, whether some should be a tax or a user fee. I think that's fair, right. I think there's a lot of situations where everyone's made to pay for something when they don't necessarily need it,

And maybe that's not the best method. But things too that U that are so basic and or taxes that then get passed down in the cost of consumer goods are wildly ignored by newsome here axas you support a six percent income tax, people ressive taxes that advantage billionaires and millionaires over working families in the working poor people in a state pay more taxes than the low end, then we tax people on that's saying seven dollars a gallon this gas help working people.

That doesn't help working people at all. How does paying an eight percent sales tax help working people? That doesn't help working people at all. They have the highest taxes in the nation. People flee to be able to save money to get out of California, and you have working class people that move to these other states their dollars go much further. But here's the thing. They want to take this Bidenomics, and they want to double down on this for

the next four years. How many people are able to afford groceries now compared to what you were doing three or four years ago. California's unemployment rate is sixty percent higher than Florida's unemployment rate. Our unemployment rate is two point eight percent. QUI Because it's a command and control economy, they have a political

agenda that they're pursuing. Let me ask you a question. People, Yeah, yeah, new, some obviously won there, So is there When you'redubbing that in, you're like, dang, look at that new Someone's like he needs to quit. DeSantis needs to resign. At that point, why even go on again? Because the numbers right, Like, you can sit there, you can argue marginal tax rate or if you take this slice of Americana, it's actually less. But then you point out, yeah, but you

know it's not factored in seven dollars gas. And if NewsOne wants to make the argument, well, that's a user fee, right, that's a user fee. You don't have to buy the gas, Okay, Okay, I don't have to buy it. Fine, do the trucks that deliver food to the grocery store? Do they have to buy it? And then to the growth, and then does that impact the price of the goods delivered? And then the grocery store then charges more for those goods, And now they charge

me more. How did I not pay it? Some things are in inextricably linked. You can't get around it. But then it got dumb because if you don't want to if you don't want to talk about money, you talk about freedom. Everybody loves freedom, right Gavin News at one point and try to say that California was the freedom saying, I just kind of laugh, like you're locking people down, you're doing all this. Then I thought about it. You know, California does have freedoms that some people don't other states

don't. You have the freedom to defecate in public in California. You have the freedom to pitch a tenth on Sunset Boulevard. Is that a denuendo or what? I don't know how he means it. You have the freedom to create a homeless encampment under a freeway and even light it on fire. You have the freedom to have an open air drug market and use drugs. You have a freedom if you're an illegal alien to get all these taxpayer benefits.

So those are freedoms. They're not the freedoms are founding fathers in vision, but they have contributed to the destruction of the quality of life in California, and the results speak for themselves. People are leaving the state because they have failed in addressing the homeless population. All right, and by the way, there's even more poop discussion. We'll get to that here in just a moment.

But let me say I would have a monicum of respect for Gavin Newsom if he took that moment, because I would have taken that moment to flip the script and be like, well, in Florida, you have the freedom to eat a man's face because you're on bath salts Florida, throw an alligator through a Hearty's drive through it. You have all of Florida, man at your disposal. Yeah, come on, how do you not pull that weapon?

It's some point you could just go with to the last week. You have the freedom to hide thirteen syringes in your butt and then pretend like you don't know how they got there. But any way, we have a Florida story today. Some woman went super police chase because some other woman wouldn't buy her a bottle of wine in a wah wah Okay. To Ross's point, Floyda, you have Florida Man in your you know, in your tool belt and you never pull it out. That's actually something that Newsom does in debates

as well, Like he's known for doing that. Where like if you're to be like, well you crime and your state sucks, he will find the one example. It's typically awful, like the bass salts, eat in your face off and use that. However, he did not, so it's a fail. What what are you even doing? Well? I think it comes down to debate prep, which was done by a lunatic, so it's even more surprising. Alrighty six forty eight, hang on the show. After the

show, he's on the iHeart Radio app. Search Casey Oday for the podcast on the iHeart radio app. All Right six fifty six and welcome Casey Oday Radio program me. Wanting Gavin Newsom to go Florida man argument doesn't mean it's a good argument, so stop sending me your emails. Yeah, I'm in Florida. They proscut again. I didn't say it would be a smart argument, but did you hear Newsom's other arguments? He doesn't have a lot to

work with. I'm trying to help. And also somebody's mad ross because the gator was thrown not through a Hearty's drive through way, know, but a Wendy's. Who cares If I can't believe you on that, I mean where I can't believe you on anything. I mean, I don't know what's true? Now? Great? Right, right Jesus, Oh, I'll tell you that DeSantis did have as he had himself a little moral combat. End times move finishing move ready, And I think it's a good one. I remember

this story and I thought he delivered it very well. So I was talking to a fella who had made the move from California to Florida, and he was telling me that Florida is much better govern safer, better budget, lower taxes, all this stuff, and he's really happy with the quality of life. And then he paused and he said, oh, by the way, I'm Gavin Newsom's father in law, so we do count Gavin's in laws as some of the people that had fled California and come to the state of Florida.

I'm sorry, I think that's funny. That's just me, And of course they're not alone. But We'll get some more of that a little later in the show. Again, got about halfway through it. But there are a few other things we need to get to, important things, things that are impacting your day to day. McDonald's is changing their burgers. McDonald's is changing their burgers. Does this turn into new coke or new pepsi and coke and like all of that? What was it now is crystal pepsi and new

coke. This could be the second time they've changed them. They changed them back in the day. They east to cook them different, like an animal fat or whatever, right right, right right now they cook them in like vegetable or something that they're not as good as he remember when they jack with their fries and they were, oh, that was dumb, went back to

it. I, oh, you know what it was. No, that's it wasn't And it was that they didn't freeze their their burger patties, the larger ones, you know, And admittedly I think that did make them taste better. I don't eat a ton of McDonald's, but I you know, if i'm if we're gonna do McDonald's, I've been known to consume a quarter pounder, and I think it helped, so we'll throw that into the mix.

All right, good morning. It is seven o seven and I hear it works better when I turned my mic on, so not uh full disclosure, not a radio engineer, so put in a requests for opinion on that. But yeah, good morning, glad to have you Kcoday radio program. So remember the whole whipping of the migrants, the story that fell apart so quickly that prior to the Homeland Security Director even commenting on it, his own people had determined it wasn't true. And the contents are as follows. Down

there on the border, you have people who are camped. There is a large encampment on the other side of the Rio Grande River. In no, I'm sorry, the encampment is on the side of the US side of the river. There's a food truck fair or something on the Mexico side of it, which, by the way, you want to talk about some smart capitalism, A bunch of like taco you know, taco cart vendors and others realize

that there was a huge consumer base right at the border. But you really can't float your food truck, taco cart whatever it is, over so they set up right across this really shallow portion of the river, and what was happening is people had already entered illegally when they needed to go shopping. We're just walking right back across the river, getting some takeout because Uber Eats wouldn't

deliver or something, and then strolling back. And as a result, you had a group of border patrol agents who decide they were going to go down and not let people just randomly walk into the country, which I believe is their job, or at least one time it was. And you have those photos that emerged of Homeland Security Border Patrol folks on horseback, and in one of the photos you see what are known as long rains, and they are

traditional. They are the rains that growing up, we would utilize on any workhorse, and they serve a lot of purposes in a skill in a skilled rider's hands, those rains can do everything from cut cattle or sheep or some other livestock. And when I say cut, sometimes there's twenty five fifty three hundred cows standing around and there's only one cow or one calf that you need.

Whether it's for inoculation, it's part of a breeding program. There's an injury you have to deal with and extracting one cow from a group of other cows who all kind of bunch and then move in unison and whatnot. It's kind of a pain and so on. You know, mounted on a good quarter horse with a skilled rider and those long rains, it makes a lot

easier. It makes life a lot easier. In fact, the kid I went to high school named Eli Wells was at the time he was the number one ranked cutting horse guy in the country for the high school because they have a you know, they have under eighteen and then over and watching somebody who's really good at it is amazing because I've never really good at it because I don't really particularly like horses, I know, just because they were worked to

me. So it's not the enjoyment you got from your pony you got when you were ten. So with that in mind, what you saw and those very same rains can be utilized to actually not just create a visible barrier to a cow so they don't go in a direction. They're also utilized to steer your horse in many instances for lack of a I'm gonna make this as easy to understand as possible. So in this photo. You saw these rains, but you saw obviously all the excess, and you saw it flying up in

the air as it does when you move your hand upwards. That was in the narrative was they're whipping Haitian migrants, remember, And then immediately the photographer who took the pictures is like, no, they weren't. It became and and they preyed upon the majority of the public not understanding what was going on.

That's what that's what they prayed upon. And the actual folks at the Department of Homeland Security, prior to him going and and holding his press conference, set a memo here we go, sent an email excuse me to DHS Secretary may Orkis on behalf of the DHS's top public affairs official. Right, so this is the person whose job it is to know what's going on so

they can advise the director saying the whipping narrative wasn't true. He gets this email, ignores it, then holds a press conference two and a half hours later, calling the images horrifying. They're going to get to the bottom of it. Kamala Harris had her little thing. The President of the United States quote, I promise you these people will pay. There will be consequences.

It's dangerous, it's wrong. It send us the wrong message. Then over time, as these things do, because remember this is about in the moment, in the same way that in the moment they were able to inoculate over the Hunter Biden laptop by simply trying to disappear it just in just enough time to get to the election and then find this whole thing will unravel. They saw this as we need to seize the moment, seize the day, Carppe DM, and that's what they did, knowing full well it wasn't true.

So now here we go. Obviously quite some time has passed, and yesterday the agents who were also had their horses taken away. I forgot about that and were put on some bs I'm sure filling out forums. Work. Had an opportunity to go meet with Alejandro Majorcis, the Homeland Security Director in his office, and he wouldn't apologize to him. He could not be bothered to go hey, even just hey, we got this one wrong. You'd throw all the rest of your staff under the bus. I expect you to do

that because you're such a snake. So they went in, they sat down May Orcus, and he couldn't be bothered to apologize. I'm looking at the email here, it's abundantly clear saying that none of this was true. He ignored it. He didn't even have to address that, but he didn't apologize. Here's how it's described. Mayorcus met privately with the horseback agents who were falsely accused of whipping migrants in twenty twenty one. There was no apology.

However, the agents were able to vent, and the meeting was described as professional. I mean, they could vent kind of to the extent that you can, but you can only vent so far to your boss, even when they are clearly old an apology. And I have a feeling that these agents probably your stand up enough that if that they because they didn't disclose the contents

of what happened, somebody else did. Because they were so taken aback by the fact that they didn't even apologize, I bet they would have said that's the end of it. I you know, I don't know, I'm guessing, but still just absolute garbage humans, man, And they're just they're just running so much right now. Yeah, Joel, what's up? Yeah? I want to weigh in on date last night. I watched it in its

entirety, and I was very very impressed with Governor to saytus. I thought, as I told her else, I thought that he cleaned the Gavin Newton Newsom's clock literally. I thought it was no more just the most I guess substantial debate in regards with contrasted lou versus RINGD ideology, especially when it comes to the state levels. I just felt that he I felt, give him

to say this to the phenomenal job. And if you can't see the difference out there watching that, did they, then you're just willfully blind to the obvious. Well, I don't think anyone would deny that there is a difference, even the two up there, and they were wanting to highlight it because they look they both think they're right obviously, and if you're you know, depending on which side you find yourself on, you can't fathom where the other

person thinks they're right. But I'll say this, as far as I don't know a lot of Democrats that would code to uh go to something like that, I guess he's not currently quote unquote campaigning and agreed to it being hosted by Sean Hannity and so h you know it was it was good to see that. And I don't think they were nasty with each other. I think they they threw a lot of shots, but they're both adults and and and

so in that instance, I could I could do. I could do with more of this, because at the very least, it's not everyone trying to hide everything. It's hey, let's go out there and you know, make your decision. Well, the only thing Gavin is invaded A bunch of the questions directly answered, such as the first question about the math ectodus from California.

You know that was just that right off the bat ron and Ronda Santas's line you played the clip of it about Oh, by the way, the person that told me that was that he was Gavin K. Newsom's father in law that moved to Florida. I thought that right there set the tone for the whole debate. But I'll send this once for Gavin Newsom. He is a slick talker. He could sell an eskim most snow in the middle of us of the middle of the of an iceberg and they can pay top dollar

for it. I mean, he's a good talker. But again, I was glad to see this. I'd love to see Christy noam that they another one of the left coast and one of the New York governor or somebody like that. They would do it. If I think this is what America needs to see. I I you know what, I don't disagree with you, sir, I don't disagree, all right, sir one, that's all I got to say. Look, and I think Jamal should debate somebody? Who do you want Jamal to debate? He kind of done. You consume call

and then on Jamal kid and then you know it's a whole thing. So now, look, didn't he run from mayor a couple of years ago in Durham? He said that on your show he was on the base, he was running the attraction. Yeah, he didn't win. I like Jamal. So Jamal, if you're listening, get Casey to find you a debate opposition and get it on the show. How do we have ross host the debate? That would be beautiful, that would be real careful all right and he could do, right, sir? All right? Thanks? And he can

just ask Harry Potter questions. Listen, this U debate as to who won is over Mark Hamill has chimed in, Oh oh good, did you see Mark Hamill's hold on? Just no, hold on. I'm gonna guess, but I don't want you to say what it is. And that's gonna be our tease. Okay, he thought both sides made a lot of good points. Oh no, oh no, all right, we'll find out how wrong I was next, hang on, thank you. Casey is on ninety four five w PT I in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the

Triangle. All right, so Ross is inform me I am incorrect. He posed the question because I had not seen it Mark Hamill, Mark Hamill, Yes, that Star Wars. Mark Hamill weighed in on the DeSantis Newsome entity from last night to let us know who he thought, what he thought of, and who he thought one and Ross said, what do you think you wrote? And I said, I don't know. Maybe that hey, you know what was interesting? There were some good points on both sides, because

Mark Hamill is obviously a moon bet. But maybe that's how you you just kind of respond to it. So is that what? That's what? That's what he wrote? Right now? He didny guy, He sort of said the opposite. He did he did take a side. Okay, all right, so let me guess Newsom eked it out. No, no, so he writes game period set, period match all congrats to Gavin Newso okay, all right, clean his clock. Okay, ye know, I mean he enjoys his life. He's living his life at California Life. He is good.

Good for him, Vote for Newsom, right, good for him? And then read the comments. I can't, I can't. I speak like, surely, surely no one agrees with this moon bak except sure all the other usual moonbats like Jojoe from Jurors and all that. I don't know, man, Gavin Nusmus is the people's choice, right, Okay, well, I mean technically DeSantis is the people's choice because they both won their governor's races,

right, so that would I'm so confused. I need more. This is a map of San Francisco. There's a lot of plots on that. You may be asking, what is that plotting? Well, this is an app where they plot the human feces that are found on the streets of San Francisco. And you see how almost the whole thing is covered because that is what has happened. And one of the previous greatest cities this country's ever had. Human feces is now a fact of life, except when a communist dictator

comes to town. Then they cleaned up the streets. They lined the streets with Chinese flags. They didn't put American flags there. They cleaned everything up. You need a you need a map not to step in poop, or you need an app not to step in poop, is his point. I've got. I'm just I was trying to remember how many poop parody songs we have. We have three poop parody songs going on so long. I got, we got the Green Beret parent, we got, I left my heart.

You know what, I'm gonna get one of those bad boys out. We're gonna do it. We'll do it next because I can then kill time, and then that's less work I have to do. So looking forward to that, I don't know. Maybe I will find out together next. This is one o six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk ninety four to five w PTI in the Triad, Coold d Daggan, Paris. Here's somehow just not my way public to let's enroll maybe another day. I've been

terribly alone. Constipated in Manhattan. I'm going home to that city by the Bay. I draw to do insane friend Cisco Hi on a hill. It doesn't matter to me outside the Castro district, bonds props between to parks, the morning fun Ma chill the air. I kinda gool. I don't care. My load sits there in San fran Cisco, Home display fall, the word twos when you come home to by Sam Freciscool watch where you cute sacking, and I got two more. You know you got a problem if I

did three parody songs. Okay, by the way, that was one of my favorite ones ever because I sent the uh the lyrics to uh my buddy Tim who sings the songs for he sings almost every single parody song you see here, or his wife if I need a female voice, they're both singers, and he just wrote back. He goes, I'm sorry, you want me to sing what? And I'm like, come on, bro, you can do Tony Bennett right. And I think he took it as a challenge. I thought he knocked it out of the park. But obviously I got

a dog in this fight. Speaking of battles, I forget when I was bemoaning last night's game, which, well, look, for all practical purposes up until you got to the end, it was an amazing game. No punts. Anytime you have no punts, something crazy is happening. It's a feast for the eyes. Dallas Cowboys, who should have just beaten the crap out of the Seahawks locked in a very close battle, and then all of a sudden, the Seahawks decide, Hey, you know it'd be fun.

Let's just commit a bunch of penalties here at the end and lose ourselves the game, which they accomplished. And some people have questioned why these penalty fests keep happening from a timing perspective and considering the teams involved. There's all that, But the thing that really the cherry on the top for all of that yesterday was you know how they pre promote next week's game. It doesn't matter whether it's Monday night, Football, Sunday night, or in this case,

Thursday night, or just your standard broadcast. Anytime they're coming or going from a timeout, they'll have a little promo, Hey, make sure you join us next week where the so and sos will battle the so and sos pretty standard stuff. And in the world of TV, they have that little graphic says next week kickoff eight fifteen Eastern Thursday night football. It is the Steelers

taking on the Patriots. It'll be in Pittsburgh, and in the graphic they'll include usually whoever the top dog or some stud is for the other team. So on the Steelers they got JJ Watt there, cool right, big name, big get. And on the patriot Its side, who do you think they have? You know, most of the time they just default the quarterback

something like that. No, So on the on the graphic for next week's game, it has ja excuse me, TJ, I say JJ t J Watt, t J Watt for the Steelers versus Bill Belichick for the Patriots. Is he the quarterback? Now? Are they so screwed on quarterbacks up there? And uh in in Beantown that the Bill Belichick's suiting up? Because I, for one, want to watch that. I don't know how you all feel, but I'm excited at the possibilities of Bill Belichick getting pass rushed by

t J. Watt. Hell, I think von Miller could tackle him. No, he's busy at the moment, is do it? What trading a big da trader guy. Yeah, oh, it's a training but trading. Sure. Yeah. Well hey, look, many so many stories of NFL players that squander their fortunes. Adrian Peterson blew one hundred million dollars was with the Vikings because he has an entourage that are hungry or something. So if he's doing a little day trading over there, good on him. Man oh

man. So yeah, showing with the Bill Belichick graphic was just chef's kiss because it's like they sat there and think, all right, so, which player do we put up for the Patriots? How about now? What about no? Yeah? But no, no, we need we need the uh, we need the name that people who are not Patriots fans will actually know what did they just put a bag of milk up there? Not his picture,

just an actual bag of milk. I mean, i'd comment, but the dude beat the Bills in the final minute and a half, so it will let you like six pass whatever it was. Yeah, disgusting. It's that's a unique situation though, because they're two and nine rematches coming up. Though, yes it is. Is that in Buffalo or in Foxborough? Uh? I think it's in Foxboro? Oh, Okay, all right, so your cursed, your cursed locker room isn't gonna work out, all right?

Seven forty three Ko Day Radio program. Somebody you know, the Internet man

the Internet. You probably all saw the Elon Musk interview where he made no bones about how he feels about Bob Iiger and other advertisers that he said are basically working on behalf of evil and in a way, if you're allowing yourself to be manipulated by media matters while clearly not giving a crap about the impact of advertising on TikTok, when you consider all the problems there, I understand why he would feel that way, And he said it no uncertain terms that

they can well hold on, that they can off so and that in and of itself is fascinating. But somebody made themselves a little, a little wonderful mash up as though Elon Musk was on who Wants to be a Millionaire? You know this is this is all the fun stuff we get to do with AI before it kills us. So let's at least live in that moment. I'll share that with you. Coming up first, speaking of last night's game, What up, bro, Hey, I'm just gonna say what I've been

saying. Okay, Seattle's an ok team, and the defensive suspect is that the effect is that the only thing that you think might be suspect from last night's game, Uh no, okay, quoting Al Michaels quote, We're going to take the rest of the night off and let Cleat Bay Blakeman call the game. It was a Herb Street? Did you were you not? Was that the other thing suspect? I was referring to the officiating, and uh we Seattle would decide that they need to commit six holds in ten penalties when

they looked like they had a real chance to win the game. And now America's team won, and huh yeah, well yeah, and everybody said, you know, I don't know. I'm satisfied, of course, but listen, I'm all about next Sunday night. Next Sunday night, oh many, So that'll be uh Eagles, the Eagles Dallas, and uh yeah, half my friends are going to be uh, you know, with a gun in their mouth. So I'm not looking forward to that, but we'll see where it goes. All right, I'm glad you could so easily ignore that.

All right, So Uh, AnyWho, what's what's going on otherwise? Man? Yeah, well, we've got rain on the way. This is going to be the rain coming in over the next few days. Two hours already started to break out out through Yatkin County and down there places like Davy County getting into the Triad here shortly spotty at best. It's back in just west of Asheville where starting to see some heavy rain Maggie Valley and out toward places

like Maryville and get out in near Knoxville. That's all coming this way, So I think into the afternoon. The rain will pick up a bit in early tonight a Walmart day though with this southwest flow upper fifties maybe sixty, and that Tanta rain will continue into at least early tonight, so Friday afternoon and evening. That's so nice. Flow on the roadways overnight rows only in the fifties, and then we'll get some more scattered areas of rain and showers

tomorrow afternoon into tomorrow night. Quarter of an inch of rain. So I don't think heavy rainfall, and I don't think it rains every hour of the day, but a lot of clouds and some damp weather around and still chance of showers on Sunday, and of course when we're going to dry out or early next week, multiple days in a row, probably two or three of them of dry and seasonable temperatures upper fifties to maybe some low sixties around Monday,

Tuesday, a little bit cooler Wednesday. So prep for someone to get off again rain. There will be some windows of dry weather, but certainly not much as we head on through, probably starting this afternoon of but we do have these showers that are trying to sneak into the west right now. But I think we'll see the rounds of rain continue through it this afternoon, tonight, part of tomorrow again and even on into at least a part of

Sunday. So not forty days of rain, because that's what I'm going for, because I'm every day I read the stories and I'm like, just flooded again. Man, No, no, you let me know when that's coming up. So okay, all right, all right, thank you sir. There you go right stage from the Weather Channel. What a boy can dream? All right? So the Elon Musk matchup, and we got a little medical news. Some poor guy was suffering from headaches for like six months and

the modern science man able to help an amazing inspirational story. Plus Pete Calendar at eight oh five, it's all coming up, all right, good morning, seven fifty three here on the CaCO Day Radio program. So yeah, following the Elon Musk statement, which, by the way, did you feel just for a moment, did you feel a little bad for the CNBC reporter dude? Admittedly, one of the things that you have to be cognizant of when you're doing an interview right now, I'm speaking from experience here is you

got to be able to roll with where it's going. Man. You got to be able to and it takes practice, Like you know, phone call after phone call. Sometimes somebody calls in and says something like that is not where I was expecting. And you have to have the ability to go with the flow. And I think we have a pretty good ability here on the show to do that because we kind of like those quirky, crazy things, which I know anoy some of you stick to the news folks, but I

appreciate you stick with us, because yeah, we do that. But also if we want to go, you know, if we want to spend a half hour on some random thing, that never saw coming. Being able to do that and go with it and really make the most out of it is important, and good interviewers can do that. I think he's a flaming moon bat. But Howard Stern May in the radio world, I've always thought was

one of the best at doing that. Although I listened to a little chunk of his show in an uber the other day and he's off the deep end man off the deep end politically, But whatever, you know, he's probably gonna make a few more bucks in me this year. So what are you going to do with that? Being said? That poor guy didn't stand a chance with Elon Musk. He's just he didn't know what to do. He

just he lost control of that. So that in and of itself was one thing, but holy crap, once somebody mashed up all of that with who wants to be a millionaire? I was dying yesterday. So if you're ready, let's go for the million. If Bob Iger was in the room with you right now, what would you say to him? Eat a begging, sucking my Disney plus is gay? Go yourself. I'd like to use one of my lifelines and phone a friend. Okay, who would you like to

call, I'd like to call Bob Iiger. Our friends at AT and T will get Bob Iger on the line and we'll see if he can help you. Hi. How by the way, could you're not seeing the video? I encourage you to watch the video. And I hadn't heard it. I hadn't just heard it. Hurt it. It's really good if you're just listening to it. Do you know what I'm saying? Because you're not trying to

match while the mouths are moving or anything. Hey, Ey's got like you said, it's going to murder us, but it's going to entertain first. Hello, Hello, Bob. Yeah, Ahi, Regis Bilberdiere from who wants to be a Millionaire? Ali, We've got Elon Musk with us right now. He's won a half billion dollars Wow, and he's going for a million dollars and he needs your help to get there. He's going to come on the line, read a question, four possible answers. One of them is

the right answer, Elon. You've got thirty seconds starts writing now. Hey, Bob, Hi, I don't really need your help. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to win a million dollars. Go yourself, he's won a million dollars. I'll tell you what's what's interesting about it two is it wasn't a bunch of different regis mashups. And that's a very famous who wants to be a millionaire moment, because that's exactly what happened with

the first guy who ever won a million. He got to the end, saw the question, did the phone a friend, called his dad or somebody and said, Hey, I don't need your help, I just want you know I went in a million. It was that way. It was boss move when that show first came on. So that's what they And it's really well done. We got it before. You can check it out Casey on the radio. And then real quick, a man who had been suffering for

months from headaches has finally gotten some relief. The man who's from Vietnam, from Dong Ho, Vietnam was found to have had a pair of chopsticks lodged in his skull, which was then causing aches. How I assume remember yesterday ross, I gave you the choice of falling backwards on a light bulb or forwards on a raby needle in your eye. You're pulling your jigsaw a moment. It was a very good choice. This guy tried out, he fell

sideways and chopsticks in his brain. So you're wondering, how how does that happen? Because I take out generals with chicken. I'm like, I wouldn't know if that happened, right? Is it good? The chicken? It's so good? I had that yesterday. It's very good. He was apparently in a bar fight. And so the theory is that when somebody a few dudes hit him, that somebody stabbed him with chopsticks and just perfectly found the hole. Why you messing with pie? Make at the bar, dude,

Come on, you don't do that. Remember what happened to that that monk who didn't bow? All his brothers are dead? All right, good morning, everybody, had welcome. It is eight o seven here on the KCO Day radio program. It's Friday, and it's December now, So if you want to put Christmas decorations up now, it's officially okay. Anyone who did it before? Lunatic okay, can we agree? All right? Wonderful Ross with his twelve Christmas trees? How many do you have up now? Do

you have them all up yet. I'm setting this up for our guests because I'm gonna quiz him on the proper number. We just put up number fifteen yesterday because, like you said, it's going to be December. So now it's time to get real. Yeah, now you're not just a lunatic. I did see you changed your online anime to you with a Santa hat on, so that's nice too. Are you trying to insinuate? Let's ay?

I oh, is that not really you? I got Okay, all right, let's get Pete Callener radio Buddy to the South WBT Middays iHeart radio app. How many Christmas trees before we need to contact you know, the white Jack could people? What do you think? Well, I would say, I would say, if you have like the most, I guess it's square footage related. Okay, So if you have two story house, okay, Ross lives in a lean too, does that know? I don't know what

a square footage is, but it's a standard sized house. So all right, so I say two thousand square feet whatever. If you got en upstairs in a downstairs I can see a second tree on the second floor. I can see that. But I think that would probably exhaust it unless you're going into like five thousand to eight thousand square foot territory. No, look if you have wings, right right, I understand that. But like, but

in some rooms make sense. So you may have like the you know, the the big gather the sitting room, right mean, and then maybe you have a separate room where actually is where the family hangs out because that's where the TV is and everything. But like, you wouldn't put one in a kitchen, right, No, that's that's loo this for a bathroom? Who would you do that? No, that's ridiculous. It helps you go better. It's like here on the floor, is this natural? You see what

I'm doing? You go back to your caveman instincts. Man anyway, and actually when when he does it, he removes toilet paper. It's just pine cones. So now you're seriously google it kind of thing, is it? Don't? I can't. I'm not. I'm not going to google just what you you just want your computer to be all germed up? Man, you can get some weird only fans fetish Christmas tree thing with that. You don't just don't do it. And then and then I'm gonna get all of the

ads on the sidebar of my Facebook page. Right, yeah, that's gonna look like a map of San Francisco or something. Come on, Oh my goodness, Yeah, I see what she did there. I see exactly what she did. Yes, I'm a professional here, Casey, I'm a professional. Did you find all? Right? So Pete is making that transition over to what we've been talking about with DeSantis and Newsome. Let me say this before we get into the individual you need an app to not step in poop?

Was it at least good to see that they were all willing to do it? Or is that just given everyone too much credit? Look, I know there are a lot of incentives that play here, different people getting pulled in different directions. People are some folks are saying that, you know, DeSantis got trolled into doing this or tricked or whatever. I would like to see more of them. I understand that these guys, I mean, this was sort of a preview maybe the twenty twenty eight I don't know, but

I am. I'm a fan of hearing the debate. I want to hear, like I want to see the two politicians up there calling each other liars. I want to see that that' yeah, I think healthy. You know, it's it's better now. Look, Newsom is up there as a surrogate. We all knew that he's a surrogate for Biden and for Trump, and don't I think the one thing that came out of last night is that there is no way in hell that Trump or Biden is going to debate, either

DeSantis or each other. I think that's very clear at this point that who

you're going to get is going to go through the nomination process. Now, whether Biden comes out on the other side of that and actually secures the nomination after and wins in general, like, I don't know, I've seen some there's some speculation that he's positioning and this whole thing has been to position Newsom to take over after the nomination, but before the election, so he's you know, Biden's on the ballot, but then they can swap him out or

something, you know, for twenty fifth Amendment purposes. I thought, you know, last night, when Newsom was asked, do you think that Joe Biden's incognitive decline and he couldn't answer it. He wouldn't answer, And that's your answer right there. Everybody can see with their own eyes what's going on. And so the Democrats are trying to figure out a way to you know, to guard against that and look at Biden can make it through the general

and and and go up against Trump. I think that's their preference. Everybody last night that I saw that wants Trump to be the nominee for whatever reason, because they love them or hate them. They they all seem to think that Newsom quote won the debate. Yeah I did. I don't agree with that Newsom. I mean, if you just ignore everything he said, like on a factual basis, then I guess. But he was the lowest taxes, lowest taxes speak. Come on, I had no idea California was such

a low tax state, low crime state. And then he talked about, oh, you know, we're we're we're awesome. We're the fifth biggest economy in the world, Like, well, yeah, you're the entire Western seaboard. You're like the size of six states. I hope you've got a very large economy. So you'd be doing it wrong if you did it. Yeah, no, I you know, I lived in California. You know, that's where I went to school. And is there a state you haven't lived

in It's see North Carolina. I don't lived in that many state's wy. I'm in North Carolina, Colorado, Montana for a little while, Florida just for a hot second, Wisconsin for a moment. In Minnesota, Oh yeah, How would I ever have gotten the idea? What that's like? Not even ten? You know, there's fifty pete I do. Okay, all right, well, I'm just throwing that out there, But I was gonna

say this, California is great when you're a broke college student. And I know that sounds weird, but it is when you don't have tax liability there and all of your expenses are kind of covered in the sense that you know, you have like a meal in housing and even though I did end up living off campus and all that, but like, but then the moment you're done and you're like, now, how do I parlay this into you know, living here? Because it's it's beautiful, don't get me right, gorgeous.

If you can map that all, you immediately know you can't live there, not in not in the capacity that you want to live, right, unless you're willing to perma live with like six other dudes, which is how many guys are in the big house we rented. Yeah, I mean, what was that a polyque? No, it was a four bedroom standard house. Okay, yeah, I mean that's been I've heard. I've heard about these polya Yeah no, no, no, it's not one of those weird

Japanese knockoff things. But no, but like you could do that and then immediately and then and but then little things start hitting you. And this is why the taxing is so disingenuous, because what he's talking about is he's talking about a very singular tax bracket. In fact, let me just play the first part here. California has lower taxes, more lower than thirty two states for working families in the middle class. Significant, all right, and I'm

going to leave it there. And and it's this is why it's all so disingenuous. And if you had a thousand of these debates, you'd never be able to work all of this in fact check all this out, what he's failing, what he's neglecting to put in there. And yes, DeSantis does come back and point some of it out. Is I don't care if it's a tax or if it is a fee, but a fee that is necessary to survive. It all counts really as a tax. And so the first

one was when I first went to California. I drove my truck down from Wyoming, and I get there and I have to register my vehicle in California, and it's five times the registration fee. There's all the inspection stuff, and there is a five hundred dollars And this is in nineteen ninety eight,

ninety seven, ninety eight. There is a five hundred dollars vehicle importation tax or fee any vehicle has never been registered, and that includes by the way, new vehicles sold in California, they just bumble it into the price. But if you bring it from another state, you pay five hundred dollars for the privilege of registering. That couple that was seven dollars fuel, And even though it wasn't seven when I was in there in school, it was still

like for something which coming from Wyoming blew my mind. And all of that factors in the same way that we're having these disingenuous inflation arguments going, ah, it's just greedy people, when in reality or the it's down sixty three percent, when in reality people know what they pay when they go to the store. I know what I paid at the gas station this morning for a gatorade and like a little snack thing that I had, It was like ten

dollars. I got two things somebody for it was ten dollars for two snacks and a gatorade. And I'm preaching the choir here, so people have to see through that. Who were not named Mark Hamill? So right, well, and that's like Devinism is literally making these arguments about how they're tax state while there is a graphic shown on the screen, right, they because before each of the questions Hannity, would you know, he would produce all of

the data and they compare Florida to California. This was supposed to be red state blue state debate, right, which just taking one step back for a moment, I do agree with Charles C. W. Cook at National Review where like the it's not really you're not trying to pick a better state because we have fifty states, and you know, that's the whole point of our system is that you can find a state that you want to live in for whatever the thing that you're looking for is satisfied, right, you can go

and make those choices. That's the beauty of the system, so like to that degree, but when you're comparing it based on data, there really isn't any comparison. And literally the data is in front of him, and he's sitting there saying it's not true. He's sitting there saying, where a low tax state. Meanwhile, you see the data that shows they're not. And then he tries to, you know, say well, it's because we tax the millionaires and billionaires more money. Well yeah, but you're also hollowing out

the middle class because they can't afford it either. There comes a point, similarly like what they call it the welfare cliff, where you make enough money or enough benefits essentially from the state that when you make too much money, you then lose those benefits and it becomes this cliff of like twenty thirty forty thousand dollars an annual quote income that is lost to you because you make too much money, and now you have to go from a thirty thirty five thousand

dollars a year job up to like a seventy thousand dollars a year job overnight in order to cover that loss of benefits, and you basically lock people in because of the benefits structure, and that was completely lost last night as well. How come even in all of that, the thing that kills me is the inflation thing, because do most people not understand how inflation is it works?

One, how it's calculated, not even including most of the things that you think are part of your big expenses, but two that it's compounding. And I don't know, they don't understand this. So if you know, if inflation goes up four hundred percent but then comes down sixty percent, it's still up three hundred and forty percent, right, And yeah, yeah, that's what they're counting on. That's what the Biden administration is counting on people

not knowing that. And you know, if you can control the means of education so as to keep people ignorant about inflation and how it's calculated, then yeah, I mean it seems like that that would be a very potent political Well, you're obviously the guy in the Observer cartoon taking the cinder blocks from the public schools and constructing hoity twity private schools, which is an allegory for vouchers. Your monster, absolutely, monster. I got to talk to you

about this because I think it's fascinating all the different interpretations. Elon Musk. Yeah right, all right, obviously, we you know we we we saw the exchange. Boy, you want to talk about somebody who lost control of an interview, that poor bastard, but did before we get into it? Did you see the somebody mashed up who wants to be a millionaire? And and that Elon Musk moment I have. Oh so if you're ready, let's go for the million. If Bob Iger was in the room with you right

now, what would you say to him? Eata begging suck about Disney Plus is gay? Go yourself? I was gonna posit here AI before it murders. Us is going to be wildly entertaining. So anyway, I'm sorry, continue, Regis. I'd like to use one of my lifelines and phone a friend. Okay, who would you like to call? I'd like to call Bob Eiger. All right, our friends at AT and T will get Bob

Iger on the line and we'll see if he can help you. Hello, Hello, Bob Ali, Regis Bilberte from who wants to be a Millionaire? Hi, We've got Elon Musk with us right now. He's won a half billion dollars. Wow, And he's going for a million dollars and he needs your help to get there. He's going to come on the line, read a question, four possible answers. One of them is the right answer. Elon, You've got thirty seconds. Starts right now. Hey, Bob,

I don't really need your help. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to win a million dollars. Go yourself. He's won a million dollars, all right. It's a lengthy bit. It so worth it though, But in reality, I just have a couple of minutes now because of said lengthy bed. Is that a good move for him? What he did?

I don't know. I mean, like, that's the thing about these these people that move in these you know this rarefied air you know, uh like well to quote like the guy who's doing the interview, Andrew Ross Sorkin is like one of the producers on that show Billions, And there was a quote from the show, you know, having fu money and what's the point of having it if you don't ever get to say it? Right? And so you Moska has that kind of money, And I don't know if it's

gonna work or not. I mean, I don't know if he if he's gonna win corporate uh, sponsors or advertisers back. I know, like the Babylon b they upped their their advertising buy with Twitter. So yeah, I don't Yeah, I don't know. It's just on the other hand, it's like, you know, his feelings are hurt, he's lashing out whatever. Like there's personal stuff going on there too, I'm sure, And I don't know if the public is actually going to, you know, be the judge

as to who killed Twitter. I think he would probably get most of the blame for that because you know, me would advance that narrative over you know, the advertisers pulled out. I think he was unfairly attacked for the tweet as well. I think he's explained what he meant by it, and you know, yeah, I know how media matters works, being in this business. Yeah, yeah, media matters is awful. They're just awful. They're

just tacks all right. Real quick, though, What if it's just about ingratiating yourself more thoroughly to one side so that if you do find a different way to fund it, people are more inclined to put their money there. Yeah. Sure, I mean, they're trying to find different ways to uh, you know, generate the revenue, but also to keep to tamp down on some of the bandwidth usage, you know, the server space and the overloading of their systems. And so that's why they moved to the check Mark

system. And look, I bought the I bought the subscription because I use it. Oh oh wow, Okay, all right, well yeah come on here. Unfortunately are out of time. I'll let you get back to your mansion with all your Christmas trees and all the different bathrooms. All right, Pete, appreciate it. We'll talk next week, sir. Okay, brother, all right, and we're going to be back here on the CaCO Day Radio program, Your Day Smarter one six one FM Talk and news Talk ninety

four to five WPTI more with Case starts now. Alrighty, good morning everybody. It is eight thirty six, It is Friday. Glad to have you

along KCO Day Radio program. I believe it was yesterday on the show we were talking a little about or at least at some point this week, ok, I guess I can't remember which day, Like how disturbing and disgusting it was that you had people that were literally going down to like Disney and renting children with developmental disabilities so that they had their own living, breathing fast pass,

because I mean, just special place in hell kind of stuff. And then there's the scourge of human trafficking that we've all heard of, where you have you know, these uh, these unaccompanied miners or sometimes miners that are accompanied by people who clearly don't appear to be their parents or their father or their brother or whatever. And uh, you know, but I've never heard of this, and I thought I've heard of all the really awful stuff.

The latest trend in human trafficking old people the trap now not the not the trafficking of children and or young women for sexual servitude, and some of the really horrendous things that you've seen down along the border where houses are just flipped into these makeshift brothels, and it's just it's all the it's all the worst stuff. This is. This is more financially motivated, so they're not kidnapping old people to be sex workers. But human traffickers have figured out that they

can target old people. So here's how it works. And obviously it is very damaging to the victims. So let's see, we're discovering older adults are being traffic for their social security benefits, veterans benefits, labor, and yes, sometimes even sex, but mostly the other stuff. And the way it works is this is just one of the ways. Let's say that there is an elderly person that's being discharged from a hospital and they need to go to a home, right so they're out of the hospital, but they need to

go to some sort of assisted living facility. What the traffickers are done have done is they would scam the system take them over to this quote you know, assisted living facility. But in reality, once the people I guess dropping them off leave, in many cases, the individuals are then moved. Sometimes they're placed in a basements, taken to some sort of unlicensed address but basically

or even sold, and they become a commodity. And then wherever they are, they're given the very basics to survive while whoever's you know, running the running the facility not only keeps them from leaving, but also extracts all of their social security benefits, veterans benefits, whatever pension anything coming in. So yeah, yeah, it's it's ugly stuff all around. But I just never heard it from that angle. So in case you needed another thing to worry

about. If any of you bastards try to get mister Mayfield, I will use my particular set of skills to hunt you down. I think Mayfield will probably take them out. Yeah. Probably. Yeah, birthday today, she said that video I put, Oh, happy birthday? Happy? How old is he told me today he was he was turning sixty nine. I think he might be messing with me. I would enjoy the fact if he is messing help he does. But no, no, no, no, it's uh. I mean that kind of mass out with his service that we've talked

about. So well, happy birthday to him. Glad he's out there. Plus sixty nine is a funny numbers, so that maybe that's what the AnyWho Yeah, no, I think we're fine. You say that video posted yesterday, there's two punks that decided to mess with the wiry old dude. Do you see that on tick that I saw you sent out a tweet about a thousand yard stair? But a chance to watch it? Should I watch? You? Should watch that right now? I'm doing the rest of this.

This is why you don't screw with the old guy with the thousand yard stairs, I believe with the with the tweet said, and these two who are not and these little these little guys that are screwed with this guy. These are not tiny dudes. They're why the one has got to be twice the size of the guy. And there's play by place and don't fire don't fire up the audio. Uh because that one Steve Enman who sometimes does the voiceover other thing, it's he's got old man, old man's strength. Oh that's

exactly what the guy says to yeah, old man's strength. Yeah, yeah, yeah, oh yeah. And it's not just one of those where you kind of lean to the side, like it looks like a draw. But he won and he gets the point. Oh he's he's taking them out. He is beating the he's chuck norrising. These dude. The generation is such low tea or something like, come on, eat some beef for something. Man. Yeah, well it looks like he does eat all the stuff. That one, the one, the guy in the black, he's embarrassing.

Do you ever, like, how what do you if you're one of those guys? What do you have to like sign up for a gym membership or something? Tomorrow. Well that's that's that's the guy you just told me about on Twitter, whose name is micro maybe I don't know us was laughing at somebody's andle earlier on Twitter. He he burned, he destroys them, and I love what he rips his shirt off, absolutely amazing. Lady rips his shirt off. I missed that part. Yeah, the old man takes his

shirt off. Hold on, it's about midway through. The fourth guy's down. He's just like one punch in all of them. Well, the one guy he knocks down three times, he tkowed the dude. Yeah, there goes down another dude. He's just taking them out. Yeah, don't mess with that dude. And there there goes the shirt. There goes the shirt. Retweet that again. I've put it out yesterday, but just just hit retweet, just so it's top of the stack. At case on the radio

at KC the two letters on the radio. You want to check that fun out? All right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four U can it help me out here? I need a legal ruling, So Judge Ross, if you could, if I let's say I went to a KFC, or let's say I worked at the KFC. Okay, and let's say that at some point I threatened to quote shoot all the white people. That's like, we're getting into hate crime territory by legal standards, right,

regardless of what you think of hate crimes. But but that sounds like a good setup for it. And he's black, by the way, and this is an employee of the KFC. This is a CAFC employee. I would probably let that person go. Okay, well, you don't managing the KFC here and hold on, so I'm just a lawyer. He does lose his job in the end spoiler. But so you're you are an employee of color, and then you've decided that you're going to quote announce that you're going to

shoot all the white people. You're fixing for a hate crime. However, let's say that you then come back after they're like, you can't be asking people if they want an eight piece or a twelve piece and then threatening to shoot all the white people. It's not good for business. So, of course, according to officers, he left, but then he came back and he shot, except he shot a black person. So one, he's a liar. We can agree with that. You can't have a liar and the

staff. Yeah, right, you don't want a guy, you don't want a thief, you don't want a liar. Is it still a hate crime even if he's just really bad at it? I'm just wondering. I mean, hate crimes are stupid anyway. Rights, I got murder, and murder isn't right either way, and you don't need to put a label on it. But I mean, I guess with the definition of hate crime, no, I don't think it would be. But he he indicated he was he

wanted to do a hate crime. He just sucks at it. Look if I go in to rob a store but I forget to or no. Who There was a guy who went into a police station to shoot it up and he forgot to load his gun and he got shot by police and now his family suing. I don't know if you saw this, but right, the fact is he went in there to shoot up the to shoot the police station up, to smotherings. He's just really bad at it. This guy working at the KFC said he wanted to shoot all the white people and then he

shot his black coworker. Doesn't mean he didn't want to do what he said. He was gonna do. It just means he sucks at it and he's a liar. So there's that, all right. Eight forty four racet aging for the Weather Channel gets to follow that. All right, my man, here it is the final one of the week. Make it good. All right, Well, it's not good, it's not great, it's not all terrible. It's probably somewhere in between. With the wet weather round over the

next few days. Already, Okay, see, as we had said, got some white range showers trying to get into parts of the Triad, maybe the Triangle this morning. But the larger batch of precip is down and off to the west southwest of US now getting into Welcome County. If you don't know where that is, that's where Asheville is. And we're starting to see that rank command and there's multiple batches. Another one down along the Gulf coast is also heading in our direction. So you know, we're kind of out

of it. The next few days will be in the fifties most days at night, Erecta, see temperatures really drop much, so expect at least to some rain today, most of it coming in this afternoon. Let's give the official numbers probably going to be somewhere in the bit upper fifties. Somebody may actually hit sixty degrees, so more rain later than sooner. It'll be scattered

around for early tonight. We might get a breakthrough early tomorrow, then some more scattered rain tomorrow afternoon and tomorrow evening, with a chance showers on Sunday. So when is it dry out? Just in time for at the beginning of the week next week as we'll see some beautiful weather come back with high pressure back in control. So you know there's been better, but let's put the positive spin on it. There's part of the states, certainly to the

west of US, that could certainly use the rainfall. We'll get some half an inch if you get lucky, maybe you get up to an inch of rainfall. I think they'll be heavier totals down to the southwest of US. Well that's what they get for living west of US. That's right, Yeah, that's right, the nerve of them living in the mountains not understanding how the continental flow works. Oh that's right, all right, man man, Thank you very much, appreciate it, and we'll be back with Jeff Bellinger

next hanging out on keeping you connected. This is ninety four to five WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM talk in the triangle. All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is eight fifty two and your boy. Sorry, I'm sitting here and our phone is there. We go, It's eight fifty two. Your Bloomberg update. Now, what're you having to do over the phone, because it's a thing. Jeff Bellinger joining us. Jeff, what's going on? Man? Well, good morning, Casey.

Happy Friday. Stocks were mixed at the end of yesterday's session, but the big story from Wall Street really is the way the market performed last month. It was one of the best Novembers ever. The S and P five hundred is just five percent off it's all time high. Games were largely fueled by optimism that the Fed will end its campaign of interest rate hikes in light of evidence that inflation is cooling. Stock market future is just a little bit

lower this morning. The now futures are down twenty five points. Investors are waiting to hear some remarks from Fed chair Jerome Powell. About a dozen all electric cyber trucks have been delivered by Tesla. The pickup is designed to make Tesla a player in the most profitable part of the nation's vehicle market. The cyber trucks being produced now carry really hefty price tags. The least expensive model won't be available until sometime in twenty twenty five, and it will not be

cheap. It's expected to cost nearly sixty one thousand dollars. Price of chocolate is soaring all around the world because cocoa crops in West Africa are being ravaged by something called black pod disease. Also because of incessant rain hampering the harvest of healthy crops, Wholesale cocoa prices are out a forty six year high. Here in New York. We all know case that there are bad guys trolling cyberspace, trying to separate us from their money from our money. But don't

be over confident about your ability to spot in the void a scam. I did a survey. Ninety percent of the respondents said they felt sure they would not become a victim, But the criminals have become more high tech than ever, and more than a quarter of the people surveyed said they fell victim at some point. The highest percentage of financial scam victims were in their teens and early twenties and Casey. Starbucks has a plan to help store workers at crunch

times. Beginning next month, store managers and shift supervisors will be able to pause in coming mobile orders when their shops become overwhelmed. That plan was outlined in an internal memo that was viewed by Bloomberg Used Casey, Okay, I do appreciate it, Jeff. We should be back to normal on Monday and have a good weekend. Sir, you do the same. Take care, oh, Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. All right. I was saving this for the end because it might just ruin the holiday spirit for Ross, but

unfortunately it has to happen. Ross. Would you go to your email? Ross is headed over to the email right now. Do do do do? Do do do do? What is gen Z doing this holiday season? Oh god, what have they done? It's in your email. I see the story, but the photos aren't loading. Oh well, I put a screenshot in the body of the email. Oh you did, okay, Hey, yeah, what is this? So? And you can read the hideline, but also read the little comments in the photos the photos that are in the

screenshot, and then I'll share this story. Yeah, Yeah, that's the look I gave it too. Well, I'm just seeing a Christmas tree with a is it garland? What is it? Christmas bows? Christmas ornaments. Gen Z says that Christmas ornaments are out and now, because it's easier and faster, it's Christmas bows. You know, as long as I'm surprised they haven't gotten rid of it altogether. So I'll take it. You'll take Christmas tales, you will take yeah, because my fifteen trees are going to like,

you know, counteract their stupid tree with the bows. So have that. At least they have a Christmas tree up and they haven't gone all you know, one atheist on us, So I'll take it. Well, we have a Christmas tree doesn't mean that they're not atheist. I mean, it's a very non secular thing. But it's taking yet another thing and figuring out the laziest way to do it. And that's not me explaining that that's why they're doing it. That's what it says. It kind of looks like toilet

paper. It kind of does, doesn't it a little bit? The articles even more rage inducing in the reasoning. It says, this year we've all been enchanted by girlhood? Have we ross? Were you enchanted by girlhood this year? I have not been. I have not been either Barbie Taylor Swift and oh my style is followed suit by the weight or by the use by gen z now of what is referred to as hyper feminine ballet core esthetics. I have also not been influenced by that. So basically the deal is they

forgo ornaments, different things, you know, different more traditional things. They will still put lights, but instead they tie big giant toilet paper looking bows around the tree, claiming that it's faster. They don't want to deal with big, bulky ornaments the cost I guess which I kind of get that if you don't have a built up collection of ornaments. Yeah, I mean the lights though it's bad because the carbon footprint. What they need to do is

put giant candles on their tree. That's what they need to do, you know back in the day. Man, Can they be in tiny little like saucer things that are barely bound to the bows of the tree, Yes, giant torches. Just put them up tiki torque. Is that where you're going here? Just saying, man, so you want to go the old school candle route. Have you ever researched see how that worked out. I'm telling you my favorite and I don't mean this because I dislike Christmas necessarily, especially

not as a kid, but it's a little pyro in me. My favorite day of Christmas was the day my mom was like, all right, you know what to do, and then I could take the mostly dead tree by then outside and I could burn it and then have a little like bonfire thing going on. Oh boy, oh boy, was that fun. But with Ross's idea, you don't have to wait so especially if you're cat. Oh you had to teach the cat though, wouldn't
