Do CaCO Day radio program, all sorts of Friday insanity for you. Pete calendar, He'll be at eight oh five and one of those weeks I'm here at the end. I'm like, come on voice, one more day, That's all I ask. So if it sounds a little rough, that's what up. But I feel fine. So okay, all right, I feel like I'm forced to start here. So I guess here we go. Everybody had a hot take, Let's get to it. OJ died, So yesterday
we got the announcement. Now people had noticed he hadn't been posting those creepy videos for like what two and a half months or something. They had talked about the cancer diagnosis. So I guess if you were paying attention, you kind of realize that probably was not a good indicator. But uh yeah. Uh six his statement from the family. Here we go. On April tenth, our father, Arenthal James Simpson, succumb to his battle with cancer.
He was surrounded by his children and grandchildren during this time of transition. His family asked that you please respect their wishes for privacy and grace. In another I don't know if this was a statement, but really just like here's the series of events. They do talk about the diagnosis and hospice and all of that. So again, the clues were there. I guess I didn't realize, and I'll say it, A bunch of people said it not having Norm
around for this. I mean, if if somehow, in some way maybe you were in a coma, I don't know, if you don't know the legacy of Norm MacDonald Saturday Night Live and the OJ thing, which, if you knew the backstory, one of the muckety MUCKs at NBC, coming from the sports side, was really good friends with OJ. So Norm got told, hey, you can't make those jokes, and then he did over and over and over the popular video and I tweeted this out yesterday. The popular
videos like eleven and a half minute super cut so kind of amazing. I did resist the urge Ross to have you have to fish through all of that this morning, or get all eleven and a half minutes up there. All right, there are a few things that are of the more serious variety that I feel like maybe we should discuss on this front. And I'm gonna throw the big one out. Do you think today he gets charged? Question number one? Question number Two, do you think today he gets acquitted or convicted?
Think about all of the other outside pressures that if you if you do justice without emotion as it's intended, think of it through that process and then try to think what the emotions of today are. And I know that this is a loaded question. I was sitting there thinking about it yesterday because it's two different things. One does he get actually indicted and you know, to
the trial. And then two, if they do the trial, even with the same set of evidence, right, modern technology doesn't approve or doesn't make it any stronger or weaker? Do you think acquitted or convicted? And we'll just we'll throw that bad boy out eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. I'll hold on to what I kind of arrived at, probably until we get a couple of calls. And yes, I know it's early,
but it's Friday. Suck it up. You got the whole weekend to I don't know, do whatever you do with your weekend, watch The Masters, maybe even a drier version of it. Okay, so we'll talk a little about that as well. Let's see a couple other things. Just some of the really bad takes have to get into that. Catherine Herridge was in front of Congress yesterday, and I don't know if you want to get your conspiracy on, it's really easy to get there when you hear what she testified
to. And we'll also figure out another way or not us because like frankly, hopefully nobody listening would make this decision. But another million in taxpayer money just tossed in the old money hole. So prepare yourself. We'll get into it. And like I said, audio a bunch of audio we got to get through. It is the CaCO Day radio program. Somebody wrote an email and the subject is Wow, woke up and chose violence of it? He
did weigh in? All right, hold on, So here's what I asked, you know, in light of Ojay right after the show yesterday too. I mean, weird how that seems to happen Anyway, I all of that I was thinking about yesterday. Well, among all the memes and everything that you know was out there was I don't know that you could argue that things
are less charged now than they were then. Now, I don't get me wrong, And I'm talking about at the moment you had Rodney King, you had the riots, you had all of this stuff, and as an emailer pointed out, some of the jurors mentioned the Rodney King thing perhaps being influential. I don't know, I don't know that I remember that distinctly, but I've read that so will brain assault that. But I mean probably probably that factored in there. So with that in mind, today would he be charged?
And today if he was, would he be convicted or acquitted? All right, so the first vote is charged and convicted? Okay, all right, well let's we can get some more calls. That's we're asking you eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Dave? What's up? Hello? Dave? Hey, am I on? You're on? Sir? Go right ahead, Hey, sorry about that. Listen. If the media can make George Floyd a hear hero right now, then I suspect that OJ Simpson
would be at the top of the ticket the presidency for the Democrats. Well you've definitely set the extreme boundary on one end. But you know who the hell knows, sir, I don't know. Remember Michael AVENAUGHTI was going to be the nominee. CNN just went and did an interview with him as an expert in prison, So you know, what you're You know what, sir, you are well within the balance of maybe all right, good, have a good rest of your day. Do you see the Avanatti thing? You
know, this is the guy they brought on there, Brian whatever. I'm glad I forgot his name. Anyway, he brought him on more and more than anybody and would just sit there and just be like, you know you're gonna make you ever thought of running for president? Oh, it was relentless. I'm sure you've seen the super cuts. And then obviously have Anaudie decided, hey, you know, maybe I'll go shake Nike down because you know they don't have a crap ton of money and can destroy me. And they
did, and then some other stuff too. But CNN literally had him on there and they were asking him, you know, expert questions, I questions about himself. I see. It was so strange, man, but you know, really not and or no is it CNN or MSNBC was no, no, no, it was MSNBC was doing it, which is even better because all the the Rona McDaniel stuff, You're like, no, we don't want her who we got over in block c oh, Michael at let's get him on so yeah, it's not surprised. And then we have this other
story. Did I put it in the I might have put it in the stack yesterday. All right, well I'll figure it out. If you haven't seen the NPR stuff, I'm a day behind on that. I just didn't get to it. But basically, you had an editor for NPR at the national level, so they're NPR News who was talking about what happened to that newsroom that that night that Hillary Clinton didn't win. And you know, the description he gives is not one we haven't heard before. People lost their minds.
Man, They in an instant made a judgment to throw out you know, whatever semblance journalistic integrity they had because they were so wrong, they were so disappointed. I mean, I don't have to explain to you how TDS works, but it was a description of a collective decision. And this guy talks about here, I believe you mentioned that ninety seven or ninety eight editors were staff within that newsroom and every single one was a registered Democrat. So
yeah, nothing surprises me, not today, not really any day. All right, Jamal, what's up? Go right ahead. I think he would be convicted today because of two things won the assault because when people would have seen this assault, the me too movement would have demanded his head. That's number one. Number two. OJ had a lot of conservative friends, right, not like he had liberal friends, but he also knew conservative friends.
He was the one that was telling black people hey. Because people make it sound like OJ really was liked by the black community at the time, he wasn't because when he woke up from his wife, who was black, a lot of people were mad at him about that. So if today O. J. Simpson will be found guilty and Mark Furman and the stuff like that would be swept up under the rug. Because all you have to do is look at President Trump and how the law enforcement, how prosecutors and law enforcement
has done President Trump. So can I can I say something I was? I literally agree with all of your reasons. I think there's one other one in there, but no, that is right, right, mat, But there's one other if I could throw it out and I'll let you finish money. Ohj's rich, dude, Brentwood baby right, yeah, And as we have seen now with this eat the rich society, I don't know if that would have served him well. No, when people forget no, it will
not serve him. Well. Today he would be convicted, he would be locked up. Everybody would be calling him though he was saying once that pictures, those pictures came out about Nicole Simpson Brown, and once those pictures came out, because they came out during the trial that he'd hit her and he had bruce her like that, everybody that there would have been no support. Men couldn't have said, well, just because he hit his wife, do
make him a murderer? Those type argument wouldn't even been said. And knowing he's rich and he was and he grubbed nose with conservatives and Hollywood at least and probably if I say with conservatives Trump supporter today he would be the one that was going no Trump supporters, So he would be ostracized today. O.
J. Simpson would be guilty. The Mark Furman stuff. Nobody would even talk about it because since he's a rich guy and he and quote unquotes and see what so he turned his back on the black of anybody, even his wife and Mary the white girl. They would have set Mark Furman and stuff on my from the one even came out to like after the trialing him sitting in jail a second, are you, Oh, they would have roasted him. But see they would have roasted him after the trial. You know
this what liberals do. They'll they'll let you do your purpose. Like the George Floyd thing. The girl who about the optites with George Floyd now because she left the Ellis case. Now she's telling everybody, Hey, the optops. He said he didn't die from the fixed station. He died from the sentinel where nobody cares. Nobody cares. The Derek Shover is still sitting in jail, can't get a retrial. So after after it's over and he serves
his purpose, nothing is done. Another example Clarmo up in New York. All the old people died, all the booty grabbing he was doing, nothing was done until after he served his purpose defeat Donald Trump to make Donald Trump loose. Oh yeah, okay, all right, thank you, Jamal, have a good, good weekend, sir, appreciate it. Yeah. I don't know if I agree for all of the reasons, but you know,
none of them seem crazy. So my thing is I sit there and look at it, and I'm like, he's just he's a rich dude in Brentwood and the abuse pictures which Jamal mentioned. I think with those two things, dude goes to trial and probably gets convicted. Oh there's one other component, I guess I just thought about now all of you insane anti semit crazy people on Twitter, they would probably also have a Ron Goldman take, and that would be a whole other level of just insane dialogue. So h it's a
thought exercise, by the way, not thumbs uping or thumbs that. People are entitled to their opinions. That's why I asked the question. But that is those are the two things that weighed most heavily in my mind. Six point thirty five Kcoday Radio program. I have a there is just something I don't understand about this. And I'm not sure the number that of stories we see locally, I don't know, probably every couple months maybe, but there
are one thousand, five hundred and three people I don't understand. So the TSA put out their well, here we go. I just want to make sure that I have the exact span of time here. Okay, all right, So this is just the first quarter, so first three months January February March. During that period, on average, sixteen and a half firearms per day being detected a total of one thousand and five hundred and eight. I don't know why. Oh I see here. I don't know why the numbers
are. Maybe they were seized, but they weren't supposed to be. It's a long by who the hell knows, but anyway, over fifteen hundred people. So how how does that? Now? This is firearms, This is not This is not firearms and ammunition. These are just the firearm numbers. The amount of people caught with AMMO is its own line here. How do you go to an airport with your conceal? I mean, I'm assuming conceal carries a significant number of these because it says ninety three percent of the firearms
were loaded. So I'm going to make that assumption. How does that happen? You know? Paranoid I am? Before I go fly over anything in that bag? You want one straight, I won't use my one backpack that I use for like computer and work and stuff like that. I will. I would never use that to transport a firearm. Ever, I don't care if it's you know, it's the glock and it's in it's you know, it's case, I wouldn't do it, and I am baffled. Now here's
my question. Anybody here done this? Anybody know anybody who's done this? The hell's going through their head? And again not on the AMMO thing. I mean, I you shouldn't, but I guess I can understand. You get a yeah, nine thousand pockets on some of these bags. Now whatever, something slips out and falls to the bottom, and yeah, you just don't see it. But I can't fathom stuff like this, and uh, I don't know why. I find it creepier than you know, a firearm.
But also, what's up with the one hundred and thirty eight people who brought an axe or hatchet? I do you think that's going through I? I'm I'm the thing that I will acquiesce. I guess a little there is. I think you're gonna have a higher amount of people who maybe thought they could, even as insane as that sounds, because maybe it was like a tourist Chotski and not you know, Jason Vorhees jam. But still, what is the I'm trying to think the last Oh that's what it was. For
whatever reason. The cologne that I use, the you could the standard sized bottle is under the amount that you can have, and last time I bought it, they sent me a larger bottle and I'm a dummy and they took it. So I understand we make mistakes. I would never walk in with one of my firearms closes I've come to. This is when they were first getting all the puffer machines going, you know, looking for bomb residue or whatever. I went to the Shot Show, which is a show annually.
Sometimes it's in Florida, sometimes Vegas for media and retailers and product manufacturers within the shooting and hunting industry. And then they have another one called Icast it's fishing. And I used to go to these every year. And I went to a shot show and part of Shot Show is, you know, you do the convention stuff, but you can go out and blast away. Man. They have a bunch of different stuff. So you spend a lot of people spend that last day shooting, made the connections, You got some stuff
you want to try out. It's fun time. Well show up to the airport after a day out of the range, even if you change clothes. Man. So they had to literally put a notification in to the shots. The people at the Shot show, just reminding them at the So I'm assuming there had been a few incidents. That's it. That's as closest I've touched that. So all right, sorry, I just I needed a dumb person. Slot. I have some Florida man stories. But I thought the over
fifteen hundred people brought their peace. That's the thing that baffles me. We'll get some calls on that. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Right here we go, all right, oh good, all right, Well I'm not good because bad, but here we go. Darryl, what's up? Uncle D's got it? Yeah, just a dumb guy, Slot, gotten hurried the bag. Too many pockets in the bag I differently
carried every day. And I just I've had to switch off. Now I carry a clean bag for the airport, a fact that starts off with nothing. And you know, the anxiety of TSA is worse than worse than the anxiety of going into beyrouthe it's it's look and I'm with you, sir, And I had to make I was so fearful I would do that that I have. I have a backpack on the little forty. Those two bads are the only ones that go to the airport. I would. I would very
much. That's what I've converted to. I got, I got there, and I had a pocket knife. Now I lost a really good pocket knife. Rotating back through the line a second time, and they dig down in the bag and they find uh, you know, those bulk rounds of one hundred bags and has about uh you know, the bottom of the bag. Try probably a handful of forties in the very bottom of the bag. And I'm like, son of them, I said, I guess there's no way
I'm going to get those back. And they just shook their heads. But they didn't. They weren't cruel to me. You know, they didn't beat me or throw me to the ground. Wait, now I'm confused. Did you have a fun Did you bring a gun or rounds? No fire arm? Just okay, all right, no, I know, look I I hear you on that, and then then it is for that reason I'm with you, man. Just gotta keep mall yeah, absolutely all right, it's
a clean bag. Many appreciate the call there, all right, Yeah, I was, because I thought he was saying on the call screener he brought a gun. Oh wait, hold on, now we got people giving evidence in their own trial. Okay, all right, Paul, what's up? What's going on? I don't know. I would want the unlucky, uh stupid slot people who brought a backpack through TSA with a loaded hand on one of the chamber. I was a little distracted packing. Yeah, no,
that's why I got broken an ankle. The originally broken an ankle, and took them back back with me that I had taken camping, but I had a gun buried in the bottom. Didn't realize it. But the TSA they found it. And what did they do? Yeah? What is they don't care about it that at that point? What did they do to you?
I mean, well, they took them be an arrested because I had a concealed carry, so okay, but I ended up paying a nice five thousand dollars fine, So yeah, that's that was Okay, that was gonna be the horribleness I wanted to know. I'm assuming they kept the gun or did you get it back? No, they actually walked me back to the parking lot and put the gun with my AMMO in my glove box. Okay, all right, well yeah, and then I made my flight, so showed
up to the airport early in case this. Thanks for me. You tell anyone when you're sitting around the airport waiting for a kanashi, I tried to bring a gun in today, but now you probably just kept that. No, I did not tell anybody that. I just looked quiet. Yeah, probably best. Sorry, Paul, Thanks thanks for the call man. Yeah, mum's the word on that. You know, get a little loose lip at the American Airlines lounge and now they're locking things down. Chris on the
OJ question, what's up? Hey, good morning, Casey. So I'm going to say acquitted because it'd be the same outcome if you look at the irony of the situation. O. J. Simpson kills two white people and he's acquitted, while Derek Chauvin doesn't kill anybody and he's put in jail with some makeshift with trial. I don't care what anybody says. It doesn't take nine minutes to choke somebody I've been in. If you think he's going to
be acquitted, hold on, I just want to clarify you. So you would think you'd be acquitted, but you also think he would be charged. No, I don't think he'd be charged at all. I think it'd be the same situation because of his skin color. I've been in the same situation as George Floyd when you fight people, even when it doesn't matter if they're a cop or not. If you fight people and you're not strong enough to win, you're gonna get beat down. But they're not showing the George.
They're not showing George Floyd video where he was crying in the back of the cop car. Please don't let me die alone. I just ate all these drugs, you know what I mean. So you know, it's a really sad situation with what's happened with with with race and everything, and no one can just be the same. And I'm really getting sick and tired of it, to be honest with you. Do you think it was bad? You think it was as bad in that era of post Rodney King going into OJ
as it is now, or do you think it's worse I was. I was living in LA I wasn't in LA. I was in Santa Cruz during the La riots, and you know, it wasn't fun there either. People are still even white people like, hey, let's just trash the city. And I'm like, I mean the town of Santa Cruz. It doesn't make any sense. So, I mean what the people did in LA was just acting like children, thinking that you know that they can do all this because of the leadership there. Let them do it, and you know the cops
or hands are tied. When you got the mayor saying nope, don't touch them. You know, what can you do? It's there's a lot of and thank you very much for the call, sir. There's there's a lot of similarities, but there's also a lot of differences. I just I feel like maybe there was a window there that, you know, kind of did have that vibe. I don't know. Look, I'm a kid, and I'm a kid in school. I remember sitting there watching the verdict. You
know, they they stopped what we were doing. Man, all right, here we go or watch it. We watched some of the trial during the day, Like my pe teacher get a little lazy, you guys watch on Schenectady a mister Rosen's biology class. Yeah right, I remember always the teachers
who were like, hey, let's do this instead. He's a very cool teacher, but he was also looking back, I think he was actually sort of conservative, right, and like I remember his reaction to the verdict was like really, like, that's the one that really stands out my mind is like the teachers that couldn't believe it, that dude could not believe it.
The I didn't get you know. One of the things that people have talked about is watching the verdict and watching the trial in a room with people of multi backgrounds, right so, and and you know they like, what was the office they did the It was one of the tech companies, or not one of the tech companies, but one of the early tech companies, not Silicon, but it was up in Washington and they they were doing a documentary
or they were filming something there and then the guy just thought to shoot the reaction of all of the you know, the people there as this was unfolding, and it was so wildly different. And I grew up Wyoming there there were no We had no black students at that time. Uh yeah, d would have come the year later. We had we had one one guy who was on the Faul team. It was a running back for he was very
very good. So uh but yeah, before that, so I didn't have that component obviously up in Schenectady. That's a pretty I'm assuming your biology class is pretty integrated. Okay completely, Yes, was that vibe a parent? No, the vibe was from the students. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't matter what your race were, was at least not in my class or we were all like really the result action was really like everybody. Yeah. I always wondered if maybe that I because I remember watching it. I wish I
may have to find that video. I didn't even think of it till today. But I also felt like the guy was juicing him like a reality show producer. So well, No, I've heard it said before that people feel like OJ Simpson, not intentionally, but he sort of invented reality television. Yeah. Yeah, I mean if you could say it was Cops before then or whatever, But that was the big, first big event that I remember where it felt like reality television, like you're watching it all play out in
real time. I read an article one time about how we have this where we come and go in in uh, the society here in the US following the advent of television, where well actually radio is in this too, where we get a flavor for it and then it fades away, like if you go back like Nuremberg, you go back to some of that. You go
to the civil rights stuff. There's an era where everyone kind of gets into following trials, uh, you know, via radio or television, and then you get up to the OJ era, and for you and me, that was the big Hey, everybody want to watch a guy on trial and it kick things off obviously. So all right, let me, oh crap, look at the clock. All right, hang on, everybody, we'll get more calls coming up. KCO Day Radio program. All right, everybody's got
their everybody's sending me all their oops. I almost brought it to the airport, but you didn't. And that's what's important. Yeah, that that confuses me. I'll tell you what confuses me as if I go to a gun store arranged and the got a bus barrel in front hearing that thing happen, right, how did you get there and and fire into that because you're unable to determine your firearms loaded? It's another story for another daily Grab one more
call this hour and it's Greg. What's up Greg the morning? Casey Ross, longtime listener, love your show. I just think y'all should hire Jamal Though I love Jamal listen to him, but I've been one of the first year that North Carolina had the character until permit, and I know, ever since I got my character sil permit, I've always carried my pistol with me all the time, always know where it is, and I've never ever even came close to carrying into an airport or even a bank or anywhere I'm not
supposed to carry it. The classes you go through, if I just don't see people that carry a concealed weapons with their permit would do that. I mean, I'm sure that it happens. There may be a few people that have done it, but I feel like the majority of people are not a character permanent that do it. But yeah, that's yeah, you know, I think some of it, and thanks for the call there, sir. I think it also comes down to how you carry it. You carry it,
you know, carry it with the holster. If you carry it where you have a flat maybe a hammerless revolver. So we put it in your pocket, it doesn't profile. But if you put it in a purse, you know, obviously far easier. And I don't care how small your handgun is, the weight is noticeable. I had an over under twenty five. You know, the two shot Derringer right, the open trigger guard, the no rifling belly gun, and that thing weighs like weis quite a bit.
So yeah, I just I don't understand. But the perst thing maybe because some of you have I don't know if there is a bottom, do you, especially the big big ones that everybody's gonna get out for the summer. I'll tire Arsenal in there. All right, six fifty eight. Yeah, we'll have to set this up for the next hour. All right, coming up, we had a Joe Biden press conference, kerfuffle, not his fault. We'll launch the governor's mansion a little tour in Randolph County. They're going
to do their thing. But before the Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kashita does his Governor Cooper tour later today, he has been up in DC. And you know, you know how the press stuff works, right when you have another state leader. So set it up in a room you'll have and you know, in this case, there's actually two of them. I'll explain here in a moment. So you set them up in a room. They come out, they talk about whatever the reason is that they're visiting piece this So any
guns, I don't know, whatever it is. And then after that, they generally will take questions and they will allocate an even number of questions from US media if it's in the US, and you know where media from in this case, Japan and the Philippines. So that's generally how they stack this stuff. Pretty common, So I don't know how this happens. So yesterday the press conference, and by the way, just you know, the other
world leader is the President of the Philippines, Bongbong Marcos. Now his name is Bongbong in the sense that that's what people call him, that's what his dad called him, but his his actual name is Ferdinand Marcos Junior. I had no idea. I had to look this up. I'm like, maybe Marcos is like Smith. No, not really. This is literally the oldest son of Ferdinand Marcos, all right. So for those of you, I guess maybe on the younger side, or you just forgot. Ferdinand Marcos was.
He came into the presidency in the Philippines in the mid sixties. Okay, and I'll get in here, get out of here, all right. So anyway, he came in in sixty five and he went, yeah, you know, what this is. This is great. I'm a dictator and he was till nineteen eighty six. And then obviously you remember all the thing that people tend to remember about the Ferdinand Marcos thing is his get out of
the way there his wife Emelda Marcos. If you remember Emelda Marcos when they were when they were showing the largess and the looting of the country by these people, it was the thing that stuck in people's brains was her shoe collection. Do you remember that she had this? She had this crazy it was it was just that visual representation of how complicit she was in all of this.
Let's see here at at the time. Yeah, the three thousand pairs of shoes, as you do. And there and then the people the Philippines like, oh yeah, yeah, that was your dad. That was that was not good because he did all this horrible, horrible stuff, and and you took all the money and stuff. So you know, I get it, right, You not always your father or your mother or your parent or whatever. But they straight up elected this dude. Now I don't know all
the inner working of Philippine politics, but that's crazy to me. But anyway, to the White House yesterday, so that press conference is getting ready to go. In walks Joe Biden, the President of the Philippines, the Prime Minister of Japan. They do the standard photo standing there looking slightly uncomfortable, and then boom, it's onto the press. Or the problem was they forgot
to let the press in. That's right, a quote and this is this is I'm going to read it straight from how the New York Times wrote it. In a rare logistical snaffo or the rare logistical snaffu prevented journalists from witnessing eighty one year old President's opening remarks to Philippine President Bang Bang Marcos and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kashita in the White House East Room. Now it wasn't all
of the press, and you have to understand that they were. They were at a table and there is a crap ton of other people in there, so they got you know, they have the horseshoe table thing going on the head of it. You have you know, the presidents up there, so it's not on a podium per se, and they do have the pool feed running. So that's how that is why there are you know, because if
you don't know what the pool dedicated reporters are. Basically, you have somebody who's dedicated from print, somebody from the media side, radio or TV, and maybe it's one of each, I can't remember, but and they're kind of always there. They were actually in there because the one who's the photog one is doing all of the photog from the moment they walk in, and then once they get in there and everyone is ready, that's when they let
the press in. That's how the whole thing goes. But they just forgot, They literally forgot, leaving the press standing at the bottom of the stairs where it comes out of where the where the press area is in the White House, there's a stairwell there, and then they just did it. They just did the thing. There were, like I said, there was two or three pool reporters. None of the other reporters made it into the room for the opening statements, and they were not even taken in until they had
stopped talking. So they had to then go in there, and I guess maybe they could kind of see what's coming out from the pool reporter, but like, unless you have a prepared question, you're not asking him about anything. They just said. So now I said, it's not on Biden like we do enough price press conference gone sideways, here's the audio? What the hell's going on? Right? I don't know that that's on him now. I know what you're saying, like he should know that they're supposed to bring
the press in. He should and he you know what, maybe he did, maybe he didn't, but maybe he didn't care. Now and I will also point out that if Donald Trump held an event with world leaders and there was a snaff foo, we'd be in conspiracy territory right now. What are they trying to hide with Bongbong and the Japanese Prime minister? What is going on? And that would be the narrative. And then they would they would neglect to tell you that maybe they had the pool reporters in there even though
they're running you know, pictures and audio and video and stuff. And then they would neglect to tell you even though it's right there in front of you and fifty percent of this country's idiots and wouldn't question why there's photos of something they said that they couldn't see. But anyway, that's how it went down. That's the explanation. I don't know. But also what a brilliant strategy.
Right if all you gotta do is, you know, do the photog stuff at any Biden presser and then just give them a transcript, obviously a curated transfer script. I don't know, maybe that's the next step we're into. But yeah, I didn't sound like they talked about anything of substance from some of the quotes from people who were in the room. But again that's quotes of people that were in the room prior to prior to the feed, is what I mean. All right, seven fifteen CaCO Day Radio program.
Hang on, this whole OJ thing happening right now, has it is severely screwing up my multimedia master's viewing plan, okay, which involves you know, watching it, taking advantage of some of the secondary camera stuff. I like to screw around in there, although I get sick of it. By I'm
probably already sick of it. I'll just watch whatever they funnel. And then the other core component, the social media aspect with the memes, and hey, look at this thing that happened, and the problem is yesterday and it continues this morning. Twitter is unusable unless you want to do OJ discussion. Look, I understand you can search out of their hashtags and stuff. And I can go look at the master stuff that way, but I like it to you know, naturally and find its way into my for me and so
and you know, uh, it was OJ's big thing. Loved to golf. Can't believe he's making this all about himself anyway, Speaking of dudes living in Florida, let's do this thing. This guy may not be guilty. You'll have to judge Florida and then Florida. Then is something in the water they errors hand that makes you do all that crazy crap. It's like the state is one to be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else has to Florida. Man, It is almost like as the weird factor climbs and you find out
it haven't in Florida every time, Florida, then Florida. Then if anyone can jeer me have you know, you can't just mind life, you crazy? But of course, but it's not. It's bad crowd, crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him. They're so used to it, they don't find him. Hooray for Florida. Then all right, check this out. We go to Saint Pete and Tampa goes hard in this subject
where police say they arrested thirty five year old Wiley Weeks. Wait, his name is spelled w y l y. Is that how we spelled Wiley? Now, okay, he's thirty five. If he was like eight, I'd be like, it's just his parents. But I've never seen that. But okay, any who, this is great, Okay, so here it goes. He was charged with being intoxicated. It's really intoxicated, indecent exposure, a whole host of charges. But here's how it went down, all right. And by the way, he also he thinks he's a lawyer, as
as you'll find out, so he claimed he could not be punished. Four And this is what happened. Police who were patrolling near a bar area noticed a trash can moving. It had a lid, I guess, and lo and behold. They crack it open and there is an incredibly drunk I think he was passed out at first, a naked man in there, like Oscar the Grouch. It was at that time he woke started talking with officers.
Initially it wasn't going well. He explained to officers that he had a permit to be drunk and disorderly and sit naked in a trash can on the public sidewalk. That's the important thing. So I guess it was techically on the sidewalk. I don't know if it was trash day the next day or what. I have a question. If he's naked inside, is it his trash can? I think it might, Yeah, it's I don't I don't think it was his trash can. So maybe that's up to the property owner.
But are you technically drunken public and committing indecent exposure if you're in a trash can with a lid on it? This is my this is my loyal question. That sounds like not guilty to me, right, okay, all right? He should have told the officer that that was his legal domicile. If you do that, they have to let you go. Oh it is Florida, so they don't. You know, they just did the anti squatter stuff, so that probably would have worked here like three weeks ago. But is
he like a sovereign citizen type guy. No. I just think he's an extremely hammered, uh crazy dude. So apparently, see he's a note, he's a known issue. They refer to him as a transient between the city of Gulfport and so at Pete and a frequent flyer. Uh, let's see. And by the way, he actually he's done the Florida man thing before
and he likes to be naked. Well, this is probably why he got the trash can, so that his prior bust that he's known for included weeks and a male friend drunk and naked running down Oh this is like, this is like the main drag in Eber City over in Tampa. Dude, I bar hopped in there. What okay? Well, and then he got picked up for that and they're like, hey, you can't be hammered running through
you know, bar crowds in your birthday suit. And I don't know, maybe this is the compromise that he, in his drunk situation, thought up, or maybe he's just an Oscar the Grouch enthusiast. Either way, he's again he's charged with all the stuff. But I would argue that we'll see with the public. Defender says, oh, everything's great. You want to know how crazy things are? Hold on, let me just pair this.
This is I was I saw this. There's a few things here that strike me as Oh wait, somebody wrote, well, obviously it was naked at some point to get in the cant Sir, you don't know if somebody put the can out with it. Somebody could have stolen his clothes. I mean right, you could have gotten in there. Right, I'm gonna go in here. Maybe it's ratings. I need shelter, gonna get in this trash can, put the top on. Somebody opened it was like, doh,
I got your clothes. Right, you don't know, not guilty. But and again do you guys like, well he had to go together. You know, that could have been in like a garage and somebody wheeled it out. You don't know anyway, Sorry, let me just set this story up because this thing's bonkers. So in Vietnam they have a a quote real estate tycoon who's been convicted of stealing a crap ton of money. In fact, it's so much money. Court just sentenced her. It's a woman to death
for essentially a Ponzi scheme. It's actually work. I'll explain what she did, but she stole a lot. Cacoday Radio program. This just caught my eye because it's the numbers are so insane, and the fact that it's a woman and what they're planning on doing so. A court in Vietnam yesterday sentenced Trong my Lawn my Land Throng my Land, I guess is her name to death following her role, which was the primary role in are you ready for
this? The theft of what is the equiptquivalent of twelve and a half billion dollars, that's crazy, man. And the way that she did it is she basically she used to like sell stuff on the street, and then she just kept building up, building up, and she kind of built a little real estate empire, and then she figured out a better way to get rich.
So instead of just bringing new properties and things in under empire, she would set up individual hard to track corporations for basically like small groups of properties properties in a particular geographical area, and using the multitude of companies which she controlled, she bought a controlling interest in one of the state banks in Vietnam and nobody noticed, and then she proceeded to siphon what is three hundred and
four trillion dong, which is the Vitamese currency, which again is equal to twelve and a half billion dollars. She stole and collapsed this bank, which obviously devastated people who were in it. She stole three hundred and four trillion dong twelve and a half billion, siphoned it right away and before they noticed. I mean there's a bunch of other stuff too, like bribing people. There's a reason they didn't notice. So yeah, man, let's see here,
she says, she'll appeal the verdicant. I'm just curious how how fast stuff works there in Vietnam? How did they execute two? They still do it like they're doing Rambo or I don't know, I mean, not rambo, but the uh the mines and the rice patties or was that? No that was where was that? Yeah? That was Cambodia. That was Cambodia technically where they did that? Okay? Or was it? Was it Mayamar
or Burma? Yeah, Burma, Burma, yeah, Burma. Okay, all right, well that's that's There were none in the first in the first one, okay, run that the first one, but the second one, but yeah, just trying to think, no, no, that was Burma. So I don't know, but holy crap, man, there are you know a lot of people in the US are like, why are we doing that? So I'm not, by the way, advocating it, but I've heard it mentioned on many many an occasion. All right, eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. Oh, where was this going to flip right over to this story? Oh? Yeah, here we go. Ross. How close are you paying attention to baseball this year? You more so than I thought I would, okay, because we were not awful this year. Yeah, I have the lowest batting average in Major League. They started off like four and oh against the Astros, and I we need to stop the count right now. We just need to stop the count just to
go to the playoffs. Well, there was a record set yesterday. I don't know, did you know this by the Astros? And I know how you feel about the Astros? How a lot of people do write cheater, cheater, but you might appreciate this. So Hunter Brown, who was the starter against the Kansas City Royals, by the way, let's see here, and they're already not doing well against Are the Astros just that bad this year? That's a crazy drop off it made. I haven't been paying a bunch
of attention. However, Hunter Brown, the starting pitcher yesterday, pitched the worst first inning in the history of baseball. I want to repeat this. Hunter Brown, the starting pitcher for the Astros taking on the Royals yesterday, set a new major league record for the worst first inning in the history of Major League Baseball. Now, this record's going to be a more dubious one because the record isn't necessarily just about how much your pitcher sucks, but what
your manager is willing to put up with. And apparently they were willing to put up with quite a bit because they thought he would get going. Uh so here's the tally. Nine. He gave up nine runs, eleven hits, and one walk, and he pitched point two innings, So he didn't pitch a full inning, he didn't pitch a half inning. He pitched point two. I mean the thing is, now he's a record holder and they can never take that away from him. That's correct. Yes, by the
way, you're currently four and ten. Yeah, all you know, it's it's early. So nine runs, eleven hits, one walk in point two innings pitched. You are is never recovering from that. That is so brutal. I was looking at all the different ways of the stats flex out, so good for them, all right, you know, hey, even if they're having a tough go of it, that's that's a dody. I can't fathom how you leave a dude in or was he not? No? Hold on? Was he not? Had he not pitched enough to come out?
Isn't that one of the newer rules? Does that go for your starting pitcher as well? Like you can't you have to go through no? I you know what, I don't know. They've added some some rules over the last few years that, you know, like the first base thing, you know, throwing to first base all that. I don't know, trying to speed things up. I don't know the answer to that. But holy crap, man, I've at the locker room. Was fun for that. All right,
seven forty three Casey O Day Radio program. We'll get into the Catherine Herridge stuff here in just a moment, and of course Pete Callender will join us coming up here at eight oh five. So much Uh yeah, I just dip back into Twitter, it's all OJ I'll tell you the one. I'll tell you the one, the one thing that I was like, wow, the the Norm mcdonald' stuff. I was laughing about the oh you did
Okay, yeah, yeah, we'll get to those. But One of the other things was the and I think that they did a pretty good job of scrubbing this for a while was the OJ SNL open, which is absolutely legendary. So it's Tim Meadows is playing OJ and Will Ferrell's playing Was it Coughlin whoever the Giants coach was at the time, Maybe it was Coughlin. Uh. And they have the telestrator, you know, the thing where they draw the little yellow Uh. You know, Hey, he's gonna go around here
and this guy's gonna run a fly out over here, all right. So he's doing that and Meadows does it in a very unique way. Uh. The office has been using a lot this year. Now you lined up your half bag right behind your quarterback, your tied end has been running a curl pattern. Now with Kelly thanks play action. The defense is frozen, allowing your wide open to be opened on the other side, opening a hole in the middle and a scene on the left. And what he has done is
he has very cleverly writ written the words I did it. And it's it's just cold Man and Carol's characters that I gotta get out of here, out of here. So yeah, yeah, and and you should see it I did tweet it out. I remember seeing that and leg and live like like that. Dude. It was so funny. I remember falling off my couch. There's a kid being that's just hilarious. This is why I hate what SNL has become, man, because there's there's just there was some so many
good pockets. You know, the Phil Hartman, Uh you know Tim Meadows and everything that was going on. And I don't remember how many years he was there and now it well Norm McDonald for that matter, And now we are where we are all right, Well where we are is weather and uh yeah, holy cow man, all right, do better do better? Raised aj come on. Many got a little rough yesterday afternoon. I was a
little surprised. A lot of wind reports, hail reports at a tornado watch, a couple of warnings in the central part of the state for a while. You're nasty but improving now. Talked about it right, talked about the improving weather, sunshine, some clouds here this morning. I'm gonna leave a sprinkle of rain in today. There could be a passing shower on the base
of this trough. But I think everyone were in better shape. The wind will be kind of annoying because it'll be sunny this afternoon in the low seventies of those passing clouds at times, but he'll be like, oh, it doesn't really feel like seventy degrees. That win councust thirty plus and the mountain's actually some wind advisory, so if you had a weekend trip to the mountains,
I'm gonna be pretty windy through tomorrow. I will stay quite breezy tonight, met up her forties of sunshine for Saturday, still that breeze out of
the west, low seventies again that on Sunday, the better day. We're going to start a nice run on Sunday into the early middle part maybe most of next week, with lots of sunshine around each day, lower to maybe some middle eighties by Monday and Tuesday, and then on Wednesday and Thursday we may make a run for uper eights, especially the triangle we get through today. In this a little bit of winter we've got around, it's certainly going
to be a lot better. I think the biggest thing about the weather the next few days will be the win today and tomorrow Wendy and Augusta to cac but dry weather, beautiful weather, expected for the rest of the tournament. All right, I hope. So we'll talk in an hour, sir, thank you, okay, and we'll be back. Hang on. You know, things going on up in DC. Catherine Heritage, Catherine Herridge from formerly from Fox News, who went to CBS who if you remember a few months
ago they said fired and don't touch anything in your office. And there wasn't some history there, There wasn't anything. It was described as, you know, a restructuring there. But she's your you you you hired her away. She is the head, she's your chief correspondent for U two different two different issues, uh, national security and and something else with the White House obviously is not the White House reporter, but you get it. So and these
have been her beats for a long time. And they didn't come out and say it was a salary thing or anything. And then the part where they basically put her office into lockdown. Here's the thing, I know what you're saying. Like when they when they fire people in a lot of places, they'll like, you know, if you if you have a cube with a computer, they may not allow you to access the computer. I understand that the difference is harriage had personal devices in there. This is where the line
gets blurred. But she all so had actual physical copies of source information, individual's phone and all of that, and she was told she couldn't grab it. It's and that stuff. If it is if it is work product of something that you are working on, understandably, CBS will say that they have ownership. However, the rolodex that a that a reporter brings with them, right when you get into the real deal reporting, your rolodex is is yours, and it's a it's so important that they will put it into a media
contract. Right so in addition to everything, they will literally outline, uh, what is yours coming into this And it's kind of a unique thing. And I and herriage has that as all of them do. So for CBS to come in there and do it, that was weird. Well, she was testifying yesterday in front of Congress and as a few more details here, if you want to get your tinfoil hat, let's do this thing. The First Amendment, the protection of confidential sources, and a free press are my
guiding principles. They are my north star. When I was laid off in February, an incident reinforced in my mind the importance of protecting confidential sources. CBS News locked me out of the building and seized hundreds of pages of my reporting files, including confidential source information. Multiple sources said they were concerned that by working with me to expose government corruption and misconduct, they would be identified
and exposed. I pushed back, and with the public support of my union, sag AFTRA, the records were returned. CBS's News's decision to receive my reporting records crossed a red line that I believe should never be crossed again by any media organization in the future. Okay, and again, without getting into the complexities there, you heard that sag after came out. A lot of people don't realize too. Sag After is not just the Hollywood reporters, reporters
from or excuse me, the Hollywood weirdos, but it's also reporters. Radio people in certain markets have to have sag after to do commercials for national So and they went in and they're right because this is a known thing within the business. So and she doesn't get specific, but you know the drive of what she's doing and especially the height of you know, where she was on this story, as she described it in more long form when this happened was
they were really into something at the highest levels. Now every reporter is going to tell you that, I don't know, whatever, your opinion of harriages is fine, but it was really weird the way that CBS did her. And obviously even the folks, who I'm assuming are a bunch of leftists, right because it's a Hollywood based union, you know, even those folks stepped up and said that it's not right. They recognize this as a problem. So yeah, I think it's fair to ask questions what was she working on?
Now she may be in a position where, even though they did return some stuff those sources, after watching everything play out, they don't want any part of this. Meanwhile, CBS yesterday they did the rundown for the you know, some of their summer and fall stuff coming up. Those are those are pretty non consequential because I don't really watch a lot of network sitcoms. But I was fascinated though, with what CBS announced for their news division.
They're doing two or three new shows, most of them pretty cookie cutter. But here's the one that gets me. A new show coming to CBS called CBS News confirmed it'll debut this summer. It doesn't say what the time slot will be. But here's the premise of the show. So CBS will do a show, and I guess it'll be a weekly show, and it will be entirely based on fighting the spread of fake news, conspiracy theories, and bad facts. That's how they describe it. They will identify and help fight
the spread of false stories, conspiracy theories, and bad facts. That's the verbatim. Okay, I mean, does anyone think that this is not just going to be another Snopes or Washington Post whatever that idiot's name is with the pinocchio like You've just you're not innovate. You just created a more polished and produced fact check. But I feel like you will fall victim to all the other stuff. Why we don't believe what politifactor, Snopes or any of the
others. Right, So it wouldn't be a complete one without welcoming our radio buddy to the South Middays WBT. You can hear him on the iHeartRadio app Pete Calendar. What's going on, dude? You know O. J. Simpson's dead, so we got that going for us? No? Oh, no, okay, yeah, but the problem is Twitter is not functional right now? What it look if you? If I go to my for you right now, every nine, every ten posts that aren't an air, nine of them are OJ. And it's just like I want to see other stuff,
other stuff, okay, so all right, others stuff. This whole thing has ruined my multi media masters viewing experience. All right, I'm about to change your entire Twitter experience. All right. You can mute words and they will not show up anymore. Anything that has that word in it, any tweet, it will not show up in your feet anymore. So you can go in and mute the word OJ. I'm aware of that. But I enjoy updates on the Florida crop. So okay, So here's the other
thing you can do, all right? Uh I like I never use the for you uh uh list because thing, you know, the algorithm is putting stuff in there that I don't want to see, Like I don't care. So you want to create a list, right, you create a list I have. I have all these things. But so then what are we talking about here? Casey? Like the reason you want to see this? Okay, all right, Captain Bubble, if I could for just a moment.
The reason that I also go to the for you tab is because I also want to see things that are not accounts that I necessarily thought to fallow or would want to just because of what they churn out. Because occasionally I see stuff there that I didn't know about. If anything is following all the sites that I normally am, there's no sizes lurking in there. Man, That's what the trending line is for. Then you go to trends and then you could break down in sports and news and music. I'm busy. I got
the I got golf to watch. I mean, dude, I understand that you like to destroy people in the Twitter battles, and you know what that's for you, man, I want to sit and watch other people play golf. So I'm just I'm just trying to improve your your Twitter experience. I appreciate that. Uh welcome. So I you know, I asked a question this morning. It's kind of a lazy question, but I think it's an interesting thought exercise. And it's two one oj if this happened two day right,
would he be charged? And if he was, would he be acquitted or convicted? Because it's la it's well, but this is the thing. So one of the discussions we are having is, yes, he is famous, but right now, being famous and rich, I think it gets you less sympathy in this eat the rich mentality that so many people have. But there is the racial component. I don't know, what do you think,
Pete Calender, it's all things are well. The problem is that you're trying to remove the and you're you're coming right there kind of gets to this, we're trying to remove the case out of the cultural zeitgeist of the time back in the nineties. Right, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. I want to be clear.
I want to be clear. I'm I absolutely wanted in your brain process between the cultural zeitgeist of that era and the cultural zeitgeist, because I think there's a lot of interesting things that have flipped around that are exactly the same, are now expanded, but may also lead like the ocher they got and may actually hurt him kind of things. So right, you want, right, so I could totally see, like to your point about the rich because you can look at like the the p Diddy stuff, right, is that what
he's going by? No, Shawn Combs, Right, I don't know whatever he's going by, right, So you have that like people or the r. Kelly stuff. So you've got people that are more willing to now entertain, uh, the idea that, like you said, the rich should be held accountable, and uh, there's that. The other side of this is that, you know, when when OJ was first charged and then brought the
trial, the jurors did not know anything about DNA, right. This was like there was a lot of criticism about having to explain the DNA and the science and people were bored, they weren't following in and all that, and it was perceived at that time as a liability. Whereas now if you don't have DNA in a murder trial, like like what are we even doing here? You got to bring the DNA or else we're not convicting, right, So s I effect, they literally have a name for it, right,
right, exactly right. So it's difficult to say, like which one of those which one of those cultural norms that have kind of flipped, Like which of those now would take precedent? Right? You also obviously have the uh you know, back in the nineties we had the backdrop of the La riots Rodney King, right, all of that, But now you've got the you know, the backdrop of the you know, Black Lives Matter and George Floyd.
But on the other hand, there's now been a sort of a swing back, you know, the pendulum is sort of on its way back from the excesses of the defund the police movement, and people are kind of waking up to the idea that, oh, wow, you know, we may
need some police. So yeah, I'm not sure. There's also the me too movement, right, You've got this is a domestic violence situation, and so you're gonna have a lot of women that may you know, thirty years ago, they may not have been as willing to to, you know, come to the defense of Nicole Brown Simpson that now would. But also, you know, he Simpson did kind of give us Reality TV, Court TV and the Kardashians, So maybe people want to penalize them for that too.
I mean, the destruction that those three things have walked on our society. And this is why it's a fun exercise, because this entire discussion has largely been about intangibles that that shouldn't be part of the justice process. The DNA thing, I think is on point, but it's definitely different. But it's all the other things that we swear doesn't impact jurors that clearly does clearly does right obviously, so and a bad judge, right, a bad judge overseeing
the case can can completely do it. I watched that man dance on Leno. Okay, yeah, I didn't see that well pervert up in New York who likes to go hit on chicks at the gym. I didn't see him
dancing on Leno. So no, that's true. Well, I mean, but that like to that point though, this is you know, the effect of cameras in the courtroom, right, which is, uh, it's a you know, debated topic inside uh legal and media world, but outside of you know, lawyers and judges and court watchers and media people who you know have vested interests in the outcome of these decisions, do you let the cameras in or not? Like this was the first I mean, I don't like,
did court TV even exist before O. J. Simpson really? And you know, it proved that you could then do these types of uh, you know, low budget reality type programming without scripts, without actors and all of that, and it would be compelling and people would watch it in large enough numbers, which then, of course gave rise to a lot of the
reality TV shows that we see now. But I also wonder if the outcome would have been different had the cameras not been permitted in the courtroom, and had maybe the people that were litigating the cases, maybe had they been in more courtrooms with cameras had more experience with that at the time, than maybe they would have acted in a more professional manner. Uh. You know the the one of O Jay's lawyer, You know who Jerry Spence is. Jerry
Spence kind of a famous lawyer. Yeah, so he was on the team there, and uh, people don't know he's from Wyoming and his brother Tom literally runs a greasy spoon diner in the town I grew up in, which is just weird, right because and Jerry lives over in Jackson. So he moved out of Wyoming, he moved to the fake Wyoming. But but it was fascinating. But it was fascinating. I used to eat in there a
lot. I got to know Tom, and uh, the thing that he that he told me when he would talk to his brother was the cameras, Like they had a huge, huge, philosophical divide among the legal team over over cameras and I can't where Jerry was. But it's funny now because all of these people who have these philosophical debates, but if it's Donald Trump in a courtroom, they want a camera to capture it. Now, Like I don't hear any one uh parsing over that. They're like, now, let's
get a camera on them. Can we purp walk them? Can we per Okay, let's get a purp walk too. So yeah, well but remember, you know, thirty years ago this was it wasn't more of an unknown and and I think probably it still is to some degree. Like does it influence the outcome of cases? Because it could, and maybe sometimes it does,
and maybe sometimes it does not. I've you know, I've covered a lot of trials over the course of my career, and you know, some have been televised, you know, some of I've been in a couple of cases their Core TV was there, which, honestly, as a as a journalist, was was good because they they wired up the whole room, you know, like they they miked everything. I didn't have to worry about really
anything. I would just walk in and plug into their their box, and I would be I would have all of the audio that I needed, and then I could cover. Uh, I could cover the trial, whether it was you know, Ray Caruth or you know a double murder trial down in York County, you know, twenty years ago, like when Court TV was there. Just made the job a lot easier. Yeah, although it also created monsters like Dancing Grace yep, yeah yeah. Do you have you ever
been pitched there? You ever been asked by Nancy Grace's producers to uh something? Oh dude, I've refused everyone. You went on Nancy Grace? How was that? I was? Yeah, this was during the Ray Caruth trial. Okay, yeah, my buddy, my buddy went on. I'm sorry.
I was gonna say another radio buddy had went on and I watched it, and she was berating him for giving the facts, like and and like if she had listened to a minute of a show, she'd have known that, Like he wanted this, dude, this was this was a really really horrible abuse thing up in Minnesota. Remember the mom we wouldn't get the cancer treatment for the kid, and then they literally they fled. Anyway, it was a while ago, and he went on and she you'd have thought he
was the one keeping the girl from getting cancer treatment. And I'm like, no, I'll never be on that psycho show. So you're on there for Ray Caruth. Did she accuse you of helping drive in the car that he stuffed himself in the trunk? No? No, it was fine, Like I really, I don't remember anything about the interview except the correspondent for and I'm not sure if Nancy Grace. I guess she was at Core TV at this time, or maybe she was at scene and I forget where, but
I don't remember anything about her. It was fine, but she said something incorrect, and the correspondent, who was sitting next to me but worked for that whatever the outlet was, I think her name was m J. And she said she corrected Nancy Grace, and then during one of the breaks, said, you know, I'm sorry to you know, to throw that out there. I just felt like I needed to correct that before we you know, if it went to a different path whatever. But that was it.
Like the only thing I could remember was that that awkward. That was yeah, okay, all right, I don't like doing those things anyway, but yeah, just for radio, it's The problem they were running into was that all of the TV people that were covering the trial were obviously covering the trial for their TV outlets. So as a radio guy like, I'm free,
like I can, I filed my story. I'm done. You know, I don't know, and I know why they come, I know why they asked I yeah, totally there so, but yeah, you have to wonder if one literally beget the other. All right, just a couple other things. Uh, Roy Cooper's got the Uh dude, did you see what happened to the White House? Since I'm gonna talk real quickly, how the Prime Minister of Japan is going to be here today? Did you see the did
you see the presser where they forgot to let the press in? Are you aware of this this thing that happened yesterday with the opening no about Biden and the Japanese Prime minister whatever standing in the garden and Biden's got the telephone and no, no, no, no, no, no no no. So they did one of the in room things. They had the big horseshoe table, right, so they have the dogs. Yeah, because there's three of
them there. There's Biden, obviously, there's the Japanese Prime minister. There's the President of the Philippines, by the way, do you know who that is? Now, I'll give you Okay. So he goes by and I understand why he goes by this nickname. The President of the Philippines goes by Bong Bong, right, okay. But his actual name is you ready Ferdinand Marcos Junior. Oh well that yeah, So yes, it's the man who was elected in sixty five, who then went I'm a dictator and ruled through
what mid eighties, and then his wife was just buying shoes. Willy nilly, it's their kid. Yeah, it's their kid. They stole all the money and murdered a bunch of people, and then they elected his kid. That's amazing. I don't know what. This is the thing that I always kind of keep in my mind when I hear people bleaching on about the democracy, like that's what a democracy gets you too, you know, you don't, you know, you don't. It's not all sunshine and roses in democracies.
You know. That's why you want to have some you want to have some guardrails erected for the democracy. So just just because I gotta I gotta speed this. So they're in the Gold room or whatever. They have the horseshoe table, and you know how it goes. They have they run the photo stuff, and they have the Pool photo reporter. They're all sitting around the table. Each will make an opening statement and then you know how they
generally divide questions between foreign and nationals. Okay, So what happened is they did have the pool guys in there, including the poetog and I think one of the one of the camera guys, I think it was the Also the rider pool reporter was the New York Times guy. They just started and they didn't let the They forgot to let the press in the whole The press are at the bottom of the stairs. You know where they have the press work area up there. You come up the stairs to get into all that.
They were holding them at the bottom, and they just forgotten. They just made all their statements. They didn't let him in there until they were done. And they said it was a quote. They said it was a rare logistical snaff foo mm hmm. But just also maybe had the indirect benefit of not exposing Biden to a gaggle of screaming reporters or I guess the Japanese PM
or the Philippine president. Yeah, I I how that's a quote logistics because remember you and I both know that they control the room like no press flags i've ever seen, right, people, One thing people you have to know is that every high level politician has a person who you hate, and it's because it's their job to be hated. And I don't mean that quite literally, but I kind of do. And with Biden, if you haven't noticed,
they do something unique. The moment he's done and questions start. There isn't just one person going and hey, hey all right, we're done here. They have a chorus, and they intentionally have a chorus yelling the whole time non stop until the press stops pressing and gets out, because then there's not going to be audio of this idiot answering something in a weird way,
I honestly, or that is what they're doing. Yo. Yeah, And if you make it loud enough, then the president cannot hear the questions too, so he won't he won't stop and try to answer them. Yes, yeah, there's a yeah, there's a yeah, because if he hears it, he's gonna because that's Joe Biden, he's going to try to answer because he's the smartest guy in the room, so he's going to try to answer these questions. And so if you can't stop him from doing that, then
you stop him from hearing the questions. You got to get in front of that. And so if you just screamed loud enough and then it'll be too confidence, he won't be able to to hear anything and he'll just kind of stumble out of the room. And if if you're like me or Pete, we're sitting in there with the Morans plugged in, all of our audio is going to be garbage. And anyway, all right, there we go right up against it. I appreciate it. Pete, have your weekend, enjoy
watching the Masters. Okay, we'll talk next week and we will be right back. So hang on. So all right, hypothetically, let's say you're you're a bad guy or girl, right, but you like to steal all
people's stuff. And one of the things you look for is you look for Yeah, obviously you find a home or you think there's going to be a lot of good stuff, and then you look for the opportunity, and especially if it's a home like an elderly person or you feel you can get in there, and in this case it was an eighty five year old woman living in rural Idaho. You probably think that's going to be kind of slamm dunk as long as you can keep her from being able to call somebody. Well
that's what was going through this guy's head. Christine Jennahan is the woman's name. This is a home near Blackfoot, Idohoach. It's very nice area. I like it there. And a thirty nine year old man by the name of Derek Condon who broke into her home. He let's see here he did pistol whip her. I want to make sure that I give you the accurate Okay, here we go. So that's right. So he came in immediately, was exerting force, pistol whipped her, threatened her numerous times, was
asking her some stuff like where do you have stuff hidden? Do you have stuff hidden? And then after he, I guess interrogated this woman and obviously harmed her by hitting her with the butt of his gun, he handcuffed her to a chair so that he because he's a loner, so that he could go and basically loot her house. So If that's all sounding all right to you, I want to warn you there's a little flaw in the logic.
According to police, when the man went upstairs to you know, to essentially start stealing all her stuff, this moron had simply handcuffed her on like a dining room chair, so it had I guess it had the side, you know, the the armrests on it. Handcuffed her to that and then went upstairs. Now what do you think she did? She just stood up and walked over to where she capped a three point fifty seven, and then when the dude came down the stairs, she murdered the crap out of him.
Good for her, but also, how do you not re can't just you can't handcuff somebody to a chair that can move. I mean you can, but then you can't just leave him. Even at eighty five, all the woman had to do was literally stand up. Where did she retrieve her firearm from? Let's see here? I thought they mentioned it in that first paragraph. I just says she retrieved one. I think she had to go into another room, which was apparently easy because he's upstairs making a bunch of noise.
Jennahan also pointed out that you know, she was concerned because her she has a son, even at eighty five, she has a son who's disabled, and obviously that was going through her mind. But yeah, this genius just handcuffed her to the arm of the chair, the light dining room chair, and she just walked over and got her gun. And because her hands then are pointed forward, well that's a whole other thing. So that sounds
like a bond, like a like a low level bond villain. Screw up right there, be honest with you, all right, I got I gotta share this story because there's one of two options here, and neither is good for the continued employment of this woman. Do you guys remember when they released the new Dune movie, Yeah, it wasn't that long ago. Dune Part two head into theaters and to celebrate, AMC Theaters created custom popcorn containers. So it's your standard. Usually when they do this, it's you know,
the print on the bucket, but they've created a custom lid. And if you know anything about Dune in the movies, there are these giant sandworm things and their faces look like there's just a big hole with a bunch of you know, it kind of looks like whales balen kind of stuff right there. But when you create a tall, towering popcorn lid looking thing, and it also kind of looks like a woman part and then you put the greasiest butter
you can ever find there. Obviously, it immediately was met with ridicule online. And it was so predictable when you look at this thing. But here's the here's the nut job part. You ready. Chief content officer for AMC Theater is Elizabeth Frank, said she was she was completely surprised by the reception the bucket got quote. I have a hard time imagining that. It wasn't. Okay, hold on, let me, I want to read this verbatim. You have a hard time imagining these things, but we continue to learn
and evolve. We would have never imagined the doom thing. We would have never created no one it could be celebrated or mocked. Okay, I guess there's three options. One, she's lying through her teeth and she's just basking in the pr goodness. Two, she's an idiot and I and I don't mean that in like because the other possibility is she's just so pure of heart. But the reality is you're this is you your c suite for this company, and it is a company that literally continues to exist, possibly in no
small part because of meme bros. On the Internet. Remember AMC was one of the other ones that they were playing with, uh or you know, you had the yout like the the Twitter accounts and the Reddit, the reddit groups. AMC was one where they were trying to squeeze value out of them. And uh, you know, cause runs on it and flip it and short it and do everything under the sun. So like you already know kind of who you're dealing with. And then secondly it's it's sci fi nerds,
of which I'm one. How do you not immediately look at that and go, oh, yeah, maybe we should put it on the side or something. I don't know what's going on, and and no, so I yeah, but then I'm really Then I'm reminded of, you know, because she's kind of on the marketing side, she's content chief content officer. I'm reminded of the bud Light marketing girl who clearly had no understanding of her product its customers. What's worked was what hasn't over the years, and not just from
the decision with the mulvany stuff. But with her comments during that interview, So the idea that this woman couldn't have figured out that this thing that you made look incredibly like that, especially to some of the most immature, I'll own it didn't go that way. Maybe maybe this job's not for you. That's all I'm saying. Oh man, all right, eight forty four Cacoday Radio program. One more, let's get it done. I got napping to do, gosh not me, and going to my first, uh first lacrosse
game actually for Clemson this weekend. So that should be interesting. Daughter wants to go there. So yeah, we'll see. Yeah, it should be all right. Don't go to the after party. Why not. I'm just you know, I heard it. You know there's some send you some okay, yeah, yeah, some older stuff. Yeah, anyway, go ahead.
Yeah. Well, I was sifted through a couple of seconds late there, sifted through some of the severe weather reports from uh yesterday, and there were quite a few of them, especially triad West, numerous at least a dozen or more foresight and let's see Surrey County, Yadkin Counties, trees down, thunderstorms, and now we've settled in for it. Looks to be a quieter weather, powder warmer weather over the next four or five six days,
maybe longer uh sunshine with some clouds. Today there could be a sprinkle of rain, gusty winds upper sixties, low seventies and the forties tonight, and how about this week coming up a little windy at times. Tomorrow some of the winds could gust over twenty but still lots of sunshine upper sixties to low seventies. Sunday sunshine could be eighty in some spots, lower to mid eighties. Next week could hit the upper eighties at one point or another toward the
middle latter part of the week, especially for the Triangle. But case, after yesterday, this is well deserved. We're going into a run here of five, six, seven days or more of dry, mild weather. Finally started to feel like not only spring, but maybe even late spring early summer. All right, well, you know we're trending in the right direction.
They Yeah, it's all illustrated having the weekend enjoy lar crossing, So thanks, all right, we'll come back checking one time with Jeff Bellinger next hang on ood morning, case and Happy Friday at tech rally highlighted yesterday session on Wall Street, the Nasdaq rows two hundred and seventy two points one point seven percent, settled at a record high. We had a smaller game for the S and P five hundred and the Dow tick down just a two points.
Yesterday, shares of Amazon dot Com closed at an all time high after CEO Andy Jasse said he's bullish on generative artificial intelligence and he is still committed to cutting costs at the e commerce giant. Looks like investors are in a bit of a funk this morning, though futures are lower. Right across the ward, SMP futures are down thirty six points, Nasdaq futures down one hundred and fifty five, Dow futures are down two hundred and thirty eight. Optimism about
interest rates is fading fast among investors and economists. Experts at Bank of America and Deutsche Bank are the latest to dial back their forecast for rate reductions. This in light of the latest cost of living data from Washington that came out earlier this week. They now say the Federal Reserve will likely cut rates just once this year and will wait until December to do it. This cannot be good for citrus prices. The Department of Agriculture reduced its projections for Florida orange
and grapefruit production in the current growing season. The USADA says the crop will barely outpace the prior season, in which Hurricane Ian reduced output to the lowest point in more than ninety years. Tensions in the Middle East pushing up the price of oil. This morning, Apple has new chips that were developed in house. It plans to use them to overhaul its entire line of Mac computers. And Casey high mortgage interest rates making labor shortages worse in some parts of
the country. The executive coaching firm Challenger, Gray and Christmas reports this morning some manager recruits in the Midwest of shunned offers to move to the South, in part because they're locked into mortgages with super low rates that they don't want to give up. Some people have even turned down jobs that pay a quarter of a million dollars per year. Casey, well, I guess it comes down to what you were making. You were thinking of lead. Do you
have a question? Though? So OJ dies and then on the same day they have a four Bronco recall and they issue you a down or a down forecast for orange hues? What kind of what kind of matrix are we living in? Man? No, you don't see the connection. Yeah, you're kind of connecting the dots, aren't you. All right? All right, all right, well you know what, we'll figure it out and uh, you have a good weekend and I'll let you know the results next week.
Okay, okay, you have a good weekend as well. Take care the investigation. Well, I like, I understand some weird coincidence, but I didn't know about the orange juice thing. I knew about the Ford Bronco thing I was in the packet. Well that's not good. Oh man, Ross, you were gonna go buy some Bruno Mali's shoes today too, Right, you were mentioning the reafter the show, You're gonna run and get those really expenses. Now I'm not though, and you need it. You said you
needed a new glove. You mean gloves, right? That is correct? Yes? Or is it just one? You said glove? That's why I got confused. So anyway, so he's off to do that. But the biggest gaff in all of this, hands down the LA times have you? Are you guys aware of what happened with the obitu the La Times and everybody's concentrating on AP being the worst with their like this weirdly upbeat entrepreneur, sports star, millionaire saw it all blah blah blah, and then the murder things.
In the last line, this was ross. Did you see the La t I didn't put in the package. Did you see the La Times? I saw the AP one. I'm not sure if I saw the La Times one. All right, So here we go. This is there is a few paragraphs into the actual thing and they're going through they're talking about the Vegas incident. Uh you know where he said. It's getting back his memorabilia and that's actually why he went to jail. So the line reads, he told
the judge after the sense, I just one of my personal things. Then with Riss shackled to a chain around his waist, he was taken to his cell. Next paragraph, Long before the city woke up. On a fall morning in twenty seventeen, Trump walked out of Lovelock Correctional Center outside a freeman for the first time in nine years. Yes, the La Times and I had I had to check this because they were very quick on it. But they did it. They posted the OJ obituary and mistakenly in one of the
paragraphs, supplanted Simpson for the word Trump. Help me out here. Now, I know that sometimes obituaries are written and maintained excuse me, written maintained for high profile people. If you're really really high profile, they'll basically have one going. If you're at president or ex president, they have one for you, Okay, a few other folks. Then if you're famous and it's not looking good, then they'll they'll tend to have it. So I don't
know when this line was necessarily written. I don't believe all of this was written yesterday. But what kind of snaff? Who is that man? What kind of projecting Freudian slipped? You got going on? Here? Like? You know what this sounds like? And this is I'm gonna be a little there's gonna be a little crass. But for those of you who didn't know what I'm about to tell you, your life's good was so much better before
this. Okay, So for those who don't know, because you don't spend a lot of time online, because that's smart, there are entire groups where people get to get together and they write fan fiction you're probably aware of that, right, fan fixed stuff. So if you're you know, a big Star Wars fan, you may try to write something to your own whatever and then they share stuff and that's fine. But also, like any other part
of the Internet, there's also the really seedy part of this. So people will, right, they'll write like lurid pornographic fan fiction about you know, my little pony. Don't google that, I promise you, that's a thing. Just don't, don't, don't, don't do it. Okay, So when I read that, I feel like this is some fanfic writer at the La Times pantsless inserting Trump in here, just just in his mind. While he's writing this, he's thinking about Trump getting purp walked, and I don't
know, maybe after he was done he forgot to change it. That's my theory. But you know, hey,
