Transcript

Nope, I'm not gonna do it. We don't start it don't count. Uh. I gotta tell you, Ross, I was like ten minutes away yesterday from putting up a pole like should we take another week off? And then all the answers were yes. Just to see how that rolled out, man, I mean I'd have to vote for yes. No. I saw your tweet you were like excited to be back on the area. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I sort of missed it, Okay, all right, Yeah, it's something like I haven't streamed or did radio for like two weeks.

Man. Well it's one of those things were like when you like just keep talking all the time, eventually you run out of stuff to say. Are you tired? Ye know? Yeah, it's been like two weeks from like a twitch stream like it was nine days for radio show and it was feeling weird and nothing happened, you know what I'm saying. It was it was a very calm week off. So yes. So, by the way, have you seen my cocaine? Do you know what um? Like?

Around this day? I can't find it anywhere in the studio. Small bag roughly, i'mebag's worth. Totally can't figure out what happened. Man, the thing went miss it. Yeah, well, these things happened, so we kinda do I put it in a cubby or something. Uh so good trip up to New York, by the way, phenomenal. It's bizarre world. Listen, dude. I love my home state. I love my home neighborhood. It's very rare too in this day and age, right that you can

go back and visit your childhood home. And my mom's home is, like I was telling my sisters. You walk in there and some things are different, right, like the TV and she's got like new couches. But overall it's like there's some sort of weird, protective Wanda vision enchantment around the household. Nothing seems to age like. Everything looks still amazing. The same things are still in the wall. Everything is shiny and clean and perfect. I have no idea how she does it, dude. I gotta tell you.

I when when you post you posted a picture of the two thousand pounds TV with the built in record player, Yeah, she said, I can have it. It's a matter of bringing it back. No, no, no, no. So we had one of those right in the living room when I was growing up, like when I remember we had to move at one time, and my mom's like, what are you and six year friends doing? Right? Right? If someone with the record player on the leftop the radio on the right top, and then you open the center, it's a

big tube TV. It's amazing and it's all worst wood. Yeah, and the wood weighs more than any TV you could possibly buy it and it still works. Yeah. Like I said, there's some sort of weird protective and shamming all that. Big said, love my mom, love my childhood home, very lucky and go back to visit it. But New York is so weird. It's just a different planet. Like I'm checking out at the grocery store stop by to get some things, and I'm like, hey, do

you have any plastic bags? And they looked at me like I was a bug and Dawn, I mean, I'm like, oh my god, they outlawed plastic bags. And even when you go through the self checkout, you go through the self checkout doing myself, you go through. At the end of it, it's like, all right, how many bags did you use? Because you have those big nineteen fifties paper bags that you're walking out of the store with and you do. You feel like you're in the fifties.

You're like, this is so stupid. But you have to tell them how many how many bags you're taking, like they take stock of those, Like you can't take more than you put in. Well the paper bags, yeah, like you know, like the whatever, like the cardboard whatever, they this brown bag. Yeah, so stupid. No plastic bag. That's not just New York man, I know, but I'm saying it's so weird,

like coming from here. That was a Dare County thing though, Like you're in North Carolina if you go out to um and I think maybe they changed it, like UM because I used to go on that. I used to go on that trip to Hatteras every year to go fish off the point when the drum are running right and you couldn't have plastic bags. Like out of spite, I dipped into the massive collection and brought them right to bring grocery store. You have to, yeah, just to get the evil eye of

the woman manager there. Went out to eat. My brother in law took me out amazing steak sandwich, the sauce on it, the onions, the cheese. Oh, the monster is so good New York. But jacked. But your guy's food is kind of amazing pizza. Yeah, but like so they bring the drinks and this guy like the paper straws. So weird, like everything and everything on the on the news too, Like everything in the news seems to go back to climate every every time, like every story somehow

goes back to climate change. So weird. Oh well, no, no, no, that was the thing over the weekend. It's literally the hottest it's ever been. Yeah, my mom told me this because we're watching TV. She's like, ros they just say, it's the hottest day you ever recorded in the history of the planet. It's so hot right now, it's hot. I'm like, Dad, I don't know about that. Daries listen, ma, I mean Lizzie. Yeah, you get to do individual like

Farmer's Almanac or that goes way back recording stuff. But how far back does the global temperature average go back? Right? Because you had to have the technology to be like, well, it's this temperature in this hemisphere and this temperature here, we're throwing the computer get ourselves an average. How far back does that go? Because I'm telling you, when the dinosaurs died it was probably pretty damn hot. That day. I'm sorry, it's not like the

history of the I mean. And then you had talking to my mom about the ice age, how stuff melted. I'm like, mah, you had what do you mean what do you mean an ice age? I'm like, ma, back in the day, right, you had, like go to go to New York. Instead of skyscrapers, they were giant sheets of ice, right, and there were and then then they melted. Then there there were no cars, and there were there were no uh, there were no

industrial Maybe Carnegie took a time machine from Nikola Tesla back. Maybe it is due to capitalism and the industrial revolution, but I highly doubt that, Like, you know, they melted. God, that's a good point. And then like I'm not on the clock. Just want to watch the Yankees lose. Hey, you guys fired your pitching coach or something. Hitting coach, yeah, or hitting coach I was abysmal. Uh yeah, no, they were like, now it's the it's end times. And then like they pulled

up some stat from nineteen seventy nine. Now, to be fair, you and I were not alive in the majority of nineteen seventy nine. That is that is correct, So oh we got that going for US. Um so the hottest day ever since nineteen seventy nine. I mean there's a huge part of history before that. Well not as far as I'm concerned, right if it didn't happen when I was alive right now, To be fair, I was conceived, so maybe that counts. What did somebody? What did I

see somebody tweet? Hold on because I actually, um, it's hard to remember all the stuff we did for like a week. I saw this and uh, oh dang. Basically somebody said that, Um, there's Twitter. Why are you being dumb? Du do do do? Do you know? It just reminded me because I was gonna put this in prep yesterday. Basically somebody said that prior to air conditioning, nobody lived in the South. Oh. I saw that tweet. It was a guy from the UK who specialized

in climate stuff. Yeah, because I did I comment. I don't remember if I commented on, but he was like in the American sealth right now, it's in the American South right now, it's ninety full degrees and if you don't have air conditioning, you're going to die. And it's like, dude, I haven't had air conditioning in the South for three years downstairs, We're still alive. Just because your country shuts down at eighty five degrees fahrenheit

doesn't mean the rest of the United States does. Yeah, he put that out there, and I was like, duh, I don't know, or India, everything for like all of the Middle East. Dagn I thought I saw that. I thought I retweeted this, and now I don't see it. There's me denmocking a cat. There's some women's right. Here we go. The yesterday, parts of the US South experienced wet bulb temperatures up to ninety four degrees fahrenheit. At these temperatures, no amount of shade or hydration

can save you without ACU die. And this is just the beginning. What are you talking about. I'm talking about how nobody lived in the Southern United States prior to ac MAN because I remember it was this past year where they had and I'm not it's not a joke. I had friends from the UK

they were like, oh, that's not true about US shutting down. And then I said in the screen caps of the news there from like Sky News or BBC whatever, and it was like, you know, they had eighty five degrease fahrenheight and the nation, the country, the island shut down, like we can't function with eighty five degrease fahrenheight. Don't get me wrong.

Um, when I was when I was in Ireland years ago, it was it was over fourth of July. I remember that because they had like a little thing they had like fireworks and stuff, which is crazy, man. Like, uh, Like, everywhere you go in the world, for the most part, like there is some Fourth of July recognition, especially if it's a tourist place for US folks. So I was over there and they don't

really have ac UK obviously, very similar in most places. And I remember it being really warm during the day in like various places that we would go. That being said, everybody survived, right, So no, I'm telling listen, we have not had downstairs air conditioning in my house since around COVID. That's in a broke and it costs like seventy five dollars for a new unit. Don't have it. So we got the tower fans and we don't whine. It is what it is, and we make them we're still here.

Does it get hot, Yeah, sometimes it sucks, but you know, well, it's just you know it's it's the part where you know, there's a little bit of history when was AC invented. I have to look that up. There's a little bit of history, especially in the Southern United

States, of being around prior to the invention of AC. I don't know if you're aware of this, and not just AC but other parts of the world where the mean average temperature, especially during the summer is damn near an excess of ninety four degrees UM. And you don't even have to go that far obviously, parts of the Southern United States, especially the southwest m one of the one of the hottest places I've ever been in my life is Cartagena,

Colombia, which might be the most miserable place year round temperature wise, and there are millions of people there. So you know, this guy tweets this out as a who is the some what's this guy's name, Nate Beer? Well, let me look at his h he's a public health climate ecology author and quote plausible futures whatever the hell that means. Yeah, it doesn't say what outlet that he writes for. So yeah, anyway, lots of stupid too, I kick things off. But with that in mind, all

right, we're gonna have to get ramped up here. I don't know why is Twitter being weird this morning? Did you have problems with I had problems with Twitter yesterday or did you stay off the Twitter? Now? My Internet in the studio was going super slow. And the building, yeah, I don't know if you notice that. Coming in today, the building smells like I don't know what they were doing when we weren't here, but it smells gross. They're likely the air conditioning had been maybe off for a while,

and maybe there was a massive orgy or somebody smells disgusting. I'm just saying I walked into the off the elevator. That's theory. Yeah, what it is, I came into that. Caligula was here. Yeah, all right, it's gross whatever. All right? Uh So with that in mind, I am curious. I have some questions for you because Ross texted meets now in the mob, so we'll try to figure that out. I'm also curious, how do you have flying was for you? So? Um that and

a litany of stories as um as the morning unfold. Why is my voice crap? My voice was perfect yesterday. Whatever, my voice is great this morning? And then driving and I was just doing oppression of my mom for twenty straight minutes and now I sort of like destroyed it. Uh six twenty one Monday, we got like a whole week five shows. We'll get through it. K c O Day Radio program. Hang on, this is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk five WPTI in the

Triad. All right, good morning, ideo is uh six twenty six you're on the k c O Day Radio program. Uh there we all right? Coming up on the show, Ben and Jerry's decided, Hey, you know that bud light thing sounds nice. We'll get into that. Apparently yesterday I didn't see the interview, but I was reading about it this morning. People are mad at Biden because he um, he gave up all the military secrets.

Although I don't know, man, I don't know something something about the US supply of one five five millimeter ordinance, but in the grand scheme of things, I I don't know if it's that big of a deal. And people are like, ah he he basically told China we don't have any bullets or something, and maybe I got to run it by the military listeners, Like the whole thing just seems stupid. But again I don't know. Um, you know, grand scheme of things him mentioning cluster ordinance versus what we

do have. Um, I don't know. I'll give you the quote some CNN interview he did, excuse me with who is he talking to? For read Zakara. So we'll get to the details there. And oh he went to the beach and every made everyone made a big deal about that. So we'll get to the details. I gotta get some water or something. One in the world. We should have taken that extra week off. I'm firmly convinced of this now, so hang loose. We'll get to it coming up

the show. After the show is on the iHeart Radio app. Search case O Day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app Smart Talk All Day, w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, any who, Happy Monday. It is the casey O Day radio program. I'm assuming they must have banged into something during that weird orgy you threatened or like, listen, do whatever you want in your spare time, but don't back into that button. Come on, man, be

a professional dude. So, um, how was the how was the flying any lizard people on your flight? Upon? Okay, so on the way back, this is like the only story that I have because the other like flights were it's not direct disconnect. No. First first I was I was terrified because of all the delays of Newark through United right, but it was perfect, perfect, fine. It was all resolved by then, not an

issue a little turbulence and didn't really talk about on the way back. So I stopped in DC and then which one, Yeah it was it was DC to Raleigh. It was this flight. So the person at the window looked like reptilian lizard lady in that viral video that was going around while we were on But she wasn't lizards she was, but it was that woman, Like she looked just like that woman. I was like, is that the woman?

And I was like maybe, obviously I don't think they're gonna let her back on the plane or something, but maybe it's the lizard person taking her form, but whatever, it's not. She's at the window in the center seat is a bigger black woman. And then I am on the aisle. Everything's fine, you know. I started, I'm like I'm gonna watch top gun Maverick. I got to watch it like an hour. Oh spoil it

fantastic. I love it so excited. But as the plane is this woman between us is acting normal, she's fine, she's looking at pictures on her phone. And as the as the plane starts to take off, she puts her hands into the prayer position and just kneels down and she's like out of

her seat. Nope, she's she's bending forward as you know, like you're gonna pray, you're gonna get down on your but she's like sitting in her thing and she's like, so she's got her hands in the prayer position and that, you know, and that, and she's she's just focused and she is shaking because at first she's like, is she going to bed? No, she's terrified, and she starts. You can tell she's praying and her lips are moving and she's like, oh God, she's she's praying to God,

you know. And I'm like, okay, well, this is probably gonna end once we get in the sky, right, it does not. This woman remains in this position. You can see she's absolutely terrified to fly. And me and Lizard Lady are looking at each other like this is weird. And I started thinking, like, I feel bad for this woman, and I'm like, I'm watching a movie, but I'm like, oh, I feel bad, and I'm like I should I console her. I want to put a hand on her shoulder, like just kind of tap it.

But at the same point, I don't want it to be like sis, white male costs African American woman on plane, and I don't want to go viral. So I just kept watching my movie. But just assume, like nine people are I just assume, you know, because I don't know what people are. She's obviously terrified. I don't want to touch her. No,

Look, people on the plane are the worst. Yeah, I'm bright, and I'm thinking like I'm expecting the best, but you know, I'm hoping for the best, but expecting for the worst because we how many of these stories do we cover crazy people on planes? Right? So I'm just gonna mind my own business. Vote Hayes for share, I'm gonna mind my own business. I'm gonna say, watch my movie. But I felt so

bad for this woman and I did one. I just wanted to put my hands on her shoulders and be like, hey, you're gonna be okay. We're fine, I'll have a comrade. She was not having it. She was out plane lands, we are taxing. She stays in this position until they they line up the door with the take the ground. She pops up like everything was fine. Dude. It was like that sucks. Man.

Yeah, I feel bad for some people don't fly well. So some people, Um, you know most of the time when you gets like the sign of the cross people right right, exactly right, Yeah, you're getting ready to My thing is watch the flight attendants. If the flight attendants don't look marginally bothered, you're fine, right. And I literally had this conversation with

somebody one time. Well you remember I was on that plane where we where we blew the tire on takeoff in Tampa, right, I remember, And we had to do the brace brace thing, and I was one of the four people they brought up to show how the door works in case all the flight attendants, I guess, get dismembered, right. But the flight attendant her hand was shaking, and I literally said something to her because she's out there and she has to give these instructions to people for the brace position,

and her like she's shaking, and I'm like that is not helpful. It's a bad sign. People are looking at you like we're all gonna die at that point, and you know, the reality is you're probably not. But you know, for folks who the moment they're in the air freaking out, I don't know, I feel like I'd rather have that than the lizard person thing, even though the lizard person thing was remarkably more entertaining. And I saw did you see the interview with you know, actually didn't watch the video.

I saw the thumbnail everywhere. I saw it without the sound, and I saw the close up of the dude she was talking about. Yeah, And I saw everybody, like he said, off the air, I saw everybody saying, you know, just posting a picture of her saying would yeah. Well, I mean that's that's Twitter and nutshell. Now he posted a video and he's like, yeah, here, now, let me explain.

And he's got like the Mason sweatshirt on, he's got all the tattoos, and he's like, let me tell you my side of the story, and like they got into some weird Mason discussion where she's like explaining to him like

by wearing the symbols he's so it was. It wasn't one of those things if you take his side of the story where like necessarily he wasn't interacting with her and she because she made it sound like she looked at this dude and she knew because she said his eyes blinking like in the beginning of Men in Black bag carry crosses, like Shatner seeing a dude on the wing. Yeah, yeah, yeah, But in reality he's like, no, we had a conversation, and she's just like, if you're a Mason, then,

um, you know it's all run by lizard people. So so, and again I don't necessarily take his story at full whatever, so who the who the hell knows, but obviously you freaked out, So um so what do you think of the first half of Maverick? Oh, it's great. I don't want to spoil anything because there might be some people amy who hadn't seen

it, but it is, like I described, it's so good. Dude, Like I'm halfway through, there's like a you know, they're in the classroom, the top gun class room whatever, and a fight broke out. That's where I'm at. So you know, you didn't even get to them where he's reunited with his planet that I like, I rolled my eyes but in a good way. Yeah yeah, but there's so many things you could roll your eyes at. But it's oh, I will take it. Did

you see the beach football? Um Man? They might have missed it right around halfway, so I don't know, but I love I love the dude who's call signed as Bob. Oh. Yeah they got a navigator dude. Yeah, yeah, yeah, they all got these cool what's your called? Rooster? What's your day? Hang man? What's your bob? Bob Man? I can't remembly gave some like really weird thing of abation, so all right, all right, uh oh, I'm glad you got that in.

Yeah. That's the thing. It's like, there's nothing worse than a flight that's years are slightly shorter, but one that's like an hour and thirty five minutes or forty minutes, because at that point, if you're going to commit to watch a movie, you gotta find either like a really short one, or you gotta watch half on the way and then half on the way back, and then I hope they haven't like I saw everything, but the last twenty minutes of the New John Wick four. Last time I was on a

plane. So I don't know how it ends, but that's where we are there. But yeah, you should finish mad Well, you can do it. It's on Prime. Yeah, I'm gonna do it now. Yeah, okay, all right, and you gotta, you know, bring the life into that, all right. So with that in mind, let us um, let's flip over to this. There we go. M Speaking of movies, Sound of Freedom. Anybody watched it over the weekend. I saw a woman who went to I think it was around Charlotte or something. She posted

a video this thing, this is so weird. So the movie is obviously a Hollywood version of a story that actually happened, so you know, like anything else, you get the inspired by true events, so you know whether it tracks. I did watch the video of the raid that happened where they actually went in and wherever it was in Columbia, I think, and like these people were they had all these kids that they were literally trafficking, and it was incredibly messed up if you read the stories. So how it was

reflected in the movie, I don't know one hundred percent. But the movie comes out and it's a movie about a guy who personally took it upon himself to thwart child trafficking. That seems like something we can get behind, right And frankly, that seems like exactly something that you would see a movie about. And yet for whatever reason it was quote quanon adjacent. It was.

It was bonkers to hear how they decided to cover this your CNN, by the way, And you seem pretty familiar with him because he doesn't really hide his association with this real wild Oh, just to be clear, they're beef and on was it kazavell Or I can never pronounce his name, but the actor who literally is in this thing, right, So they're trashing on passion of the christ actor because he's in this movie, which is a movie about

child trafficking and a true story of how somebody helped to stop at least a portion of it. And CNN had a huge problem with this. And you seem pretty familiar with him because he doesn't really hide his association with this real wild plot that involves, you know, drinking the blood of children and things like that. No, he doesn't hide it at all. And you have a lot of people who are in this world of QAnon who say, oh, they don't know what that is. They've never heard of it. They're

just asking questions with somebody like Jim Caviezel. He is openly embracing it. He's openly using its catchphrases and its concepts. He's speaking at qan on conventions. And this film is being marketed to either specific QAnon believers or to people who believe all of the same tenets as QAnon but claim they don't know what it is. Let me let me ask a question. Even if you think all the QAnon stuff is pure conspiracy theory, can we all agree that children

are trafficked, right? Or is that in and of itself some sort of like dividing line. This is this is what I didn't understand about like the beef people had with this, Like we all agree that there are criminal elements out there that traffic children for sexual purposes, for just horrendous stuff. Like I thought we were all on the same page there and that we thought that

was bad. Whether you um quote unquote believe any of the QAnon stuff or or whatever, that's a thing that happened, and literally the contents of this movie happened. It's idiots. That's not even a debate. There's video there's old newsreels of like the major networks bring this stuff. Nobody's debating this.

And ironically, at the same time that this movie's out there and people are going to it and and uh and watching it and um, you know, and it's a topic of discussion, one of the movies it's it's competing against is starring an actor who literally was like taking children and and and like absorbing them into his weird little cult thing like he went to um, I can't remember which, which one of the Dakota reservations. It was like he literally

had a teenager run away from home with him. I'm referring to the the main actor in the flash, and like that was a thing that actually happened. Now, is it the same as what happened to God? No, But like the total lack of self awareness was baffling to me as as this story was playing out. So people went and saw this movie and it did

well. And I saw it, Like I said, I saw a woman who went to an AMC theater around Charlotte where the AC wasn't working, and she was alleging like that was intentional because they canceled tickets or the whole thing was weird, but it was a movie that turned into this this weird like the whole thing was conspiratorial and like the I didn't see the movie, but like the contents of the movie sound like exactly the thing Hollywood would do a

movie about, and like it's mere existence turned into well, this is QAnon conspiracy stuff. So if you watch it, you're part of the problem. And this actor Cavizel is part of the problem because he believes that children are trafficked and perhaps even trafficed by Hollywood people. And it's like it's competing against a movie right now by somebody who in traffic kids. But he, in his own cult like status, basically stole a teenager. The whole thing was

just crazy. Man, all right, let me grab a quick call. We got more audio on that. You here in a moment, Yes, Boston, Paul, what's up? Hey, I've never heard of a dimebag of coke, and you're explaining that to me. I've heard of eight balls, Oz's, Graham's ass quarters, never a dimebag, a dime bag of weed, but I've never heard of a dimebag of coke. You're look at You're a big coke enthusiast or what wells the job I worked? You know? But anyway, Yeah, I don't know why they used the term dimebag.

That's literally the term they used in the news story, right, So was it a mount size of a dime bag? We? I mean, that'd be a lot of coke. But anyway, so don't forget to apologize to very stagic when you talk to him today. You know, you gave him a bag about having all that time off, and you took the same amount of timeline. No, no, no, he took two weeks. Yeah, it's not even close. I don't know what you're talking about. No, he didn't take two. She took like at least almost as much.

He took two. Yeah, a week and a half where you guys have he was it too total? It might have been too total weeks? So he gave him a rash and and you did the same thing. So you apologize to him and he gets on later on. Yeah, it's that gond happen. So but it's okay, Boston, Paul, I appreciate it. Thank you for your coca knowledge too. All right, let's go day, all right, all right, Yeah, no, we didn't take that much all right, anybody see the movie, by the way, I want

to hear you review. All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is um Our number two here on the Casey O Day Radio program seven h seven. Oh, let's see here, all right, we gotta climate change, native lands, all sorts of stuff to get into. Oh. In the Miss Netherlands contest. By the way, Ross, did you see the other contestants who lost in the Miss Netherlands was I think it was in the story link that I said. Yeah, I saw a photo yesterday and

Twitter of all the contestancy the standing side by side. Dude, you see that brunette in there? Oh my gosh. Right, just in the grand scheme of your having a beauty pageant, there was one of these, one of these absolute smoke show and she lost. So um we'll get to who she lost to coming up here in just a moment or two. Let me grab a quick call on this um. And again, I'm curious, did

anyone go see the Sound of Freedom? I understand how they're marketing it, right, You're you're you're going to get that because it's hard to market a movie right now, right, and then there's going to be where people take it upon themselves to marketing. But you have this movie. The movie is based on an actual thing that happened where they busted a child trafficking ring.

Like, I don't know the totality of what's in the movie, but I know the core story because you can watch the video of the news coverage of this stuff. Right, this is a thing that happens and for whatever reason, Like and I do you think part of it was how politicize the reaction has been to other Hollywood movies because I think that played into it. I

think normally they would just ignore it if they didn't like it. But now when you have these movies where they literally the marketing scheme of movies is everyone's a big fat racist prior to the movie coming out, and like studios are leaning into this stuff like the Ghostbusters movie. Um, what was the one recently where they basically, oh, no, it was the the Star Wars

it was, Um, I can't remember the actress's name. What was the Star Wars TV show that they had where they were just like, oh, the everyone doesn't want to go because they're racist against the actress who's like the bad person. Um uh, what was it? And and and in reality, what they did is they basically destroyed the main character in it. But it's like it's all strategic. And then obviously the new uh Indiana Jones didn't do well. So I don't know if some of it is rebuttal on that

stuff. But you know, the reality is a movie about child trafficking, like it shouldn't be controversial. But the way that they covered this, whether it is critics or CNN or any of the rest, is this is some sort of QAnon movie. And I was just baffled by the whole thing. Here's more from CNN, and the Sound of Freedom does focus on a real issue of sex trafficking, but that theme, it's sort of like that kernel of truth that feeds the QAnon conspiracy theory. Tell us how those two things

work together. Sure, and the most durable and the most believable conspiracy theories are not entirely false. There's something in them that is true and the rest of it is false. But the believers point to the one true thing and they say, oh, you don't believe that this particular thing is true. In terms of child trafficking. We know trafficking is real, we know it has real victims. No one is denying that. But these films are created

out of moral panics. They're created out of bogus statistics, They're created out of fear and with something like Sound of Freedom. It specifically is looking at you. It on concepts of these child trafficking rings that are run by the high level elites, and only people like Tim Ballard, and only people like Jim Caviezel, and by extension, only people like the ticket buyer can help

bring these trafficking rings down. So there's a very participatory element. You're not just going to see a movie, you're just killing two hours on a hot day. You are helping bring down these these pedophile rings and save children. Now, it's not true, but it's a very comforting and it's very warm feeling to have. Yes, let me ask you a question because he used the term there a movie born of moral panic. How many movies are released

and then touted every year that are quote unquote born of moral panic? Right?

How many times do you watch a movie now and it's you know, inspired by true events and it is one a movie that is born from messaging over progressive ideals, like that's a regular thing now, And if you watch those movies, you would think, you know, many of the things in society that they're talking about are much more prevalent than they actually are, and in some cases, the actual true story in it is manipulated, whereas it's my understand This is why I want to if anybody saw it, I'm curious,

Like it's my understanding. The movie basically just told the story of what this guy was doing, you know, you know, it had taken it upon himself to help root out part of child trafficking. And I believe they just suspended some BBC news dude who was paying a teenager for porn basically sexually explicit photos. Like that's literally a thing that just happened. Not to mention all the Epstein stuff, any of the rest. So in the movie,

are they like drinking adrenochrome or this is what I have to do? Because I haven't seen the movie, I don't know. But the whole thing is just crazy, man. All right, let me grab a call Donna. What's up, Good morning, Casey, welcome back. Yeah, I'm thinking we're going to take the rest of the week off, but go ahead. No, no, So, I think part of what CNN is doing in all of these articles that I've been seeing going around this weekend, in addition

to what you spoke about, is that they're attacking Jim Kevizio. Thing is, I always screw it up. So I think that they're attacking him because he is a very devout Catholic. And if you remember, the FBI in the DOJ Christopher Ray and Garland came out with a memo stating that Catholics were extremists, violent extremists set that. So I think part of it is them attacking his Catholicism, his his dedication to um, you know, his religion,

which of course they're against, you know. And they CNN themselves, they always have James clapper On and who's the other one, oh Andrew McCabe, you know. So I think that they want to be smirched Catholics on top of it, And of course conspiracy theorists um of all kinds, not just quan On, you know. But the only difference between um a conspiracy

theory and the truth is six months. So well nowadays, yeah, it seems like yeah, yeah, But I think what they're really trying to do is be smirched him for his Catholicism and in an extension, attacking Christianity and Catholicism in the you know, underneath it all that way. Yeah, I mean, you know the fact, it's not just cavizl um any actor who seem right, seemingly appear. I mean, what's his name from Guardians of

the Galaxy, right, I was just gonna say him. Yeah, And who's the one that did the um oh he used to be on a TV show, um Kurt oh. Oh, he did the movies about from Growing not Growing Pains. Uh know, you know who I'm talking about. Y. Yeah, they about ruined his right, they about ruined his career because of his you know, his religious belief I think it's pretty hard in Hollywood. So these guys to even get a part, you know. I mean he was Jim ket Cavizel, he was in person of interest. What happened

to that show? That was a really good show. I'm not super familiar, but no, to your point, Yes, anyone who and thanks for the call. They're Donna. Anyone who is seen as even partially religious. People have beef with and the critics have beef with and and I mentioned this, um, you know, obviously two weeks ago, because we're gone last week. Like when you get into the really progressive stuff, now it is its own religion. And you know, as somebody does a movie about this

stuff and they are lauded in Hollywood, whether it's true or not. Right, a lot of times they twist what happens in there, and then you know, they do a movie and if you watch the movie, you wouldn't have an actual accurate understanding of some story. But you know it's given all of the awards, people get excited about it, and the reality is, I again, I haven't watched it, but if they stuck to what happened in that story, it is a documented thing. Right, there's tons of

news guys. I watched some of the news coverage over the weekend. So this is this is what absolutely fries my brain about this. But Jake, what's up? Hey? Good morning? Um talking about the movie. Uh, you must not liking the series Taken. Um. Granted, Taken was a complete uh fabrication, but it wasn't. It was the low level guys, then the top level guys. The low level guys were just to see once and then you got some rich people doing the whole Uh auctioning of the

traffic kids. Yeah, I'm I'm with you. This is why I don't understand what the and thanks for the call there, Jake, What the beef is? You don't want to don't go see the movie, but you know to sit there and freak out about it. I have not seen one example cited where they they they took an individual thing in the movie and went this is completely fabricated. But again I haven't seen the movie, so I don't

know. But if you did, please help me out. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four seven eighteen Hang on one oh six one FM Talk and f w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, let me give you an example of a movie that was praised and is provably twisted,

and that was The Woman King, which I did see. It was on one of the streaming I don't know if it was HBO Max or what it was, but I did watch it, and the reality is the thing is

wildly inaccurate. Because they wanted to they wanted to make this empowering female driven film, and to do it, they had to ignore the actual history of this particular tribe in Africa and their part in human trafficking slavery for that matter, right, And it was it was not just the critics promoting it, but it was also it was also marketed in that very same way where if

you didn't see it, you were a big fat racist. And that is that was essentially what some of the actors or actresses in the movie we're saying during interviews. Man was just absolutely crazy. So again I don't understand the freak out here. All right, Tracy, what's up, Casey? Welcome back. Yeah, we'll see how it goes. So yeah, So I just wanted I just wanted to bring some awareness. I have not seen the movie yet. I planned to it. I just got back in town.

But they don't want the real truth out. They never have. Child trafficking is reel. Tim Ballard was a government FBI agent. He also worked for Homeland Security. Not only Tim Ballard, but you have two other guys, Jacko Bouen's Victor Mark. They also have rescue organizations about child trafficking. Tim actually just busted a Nigerian ring two weeks ago where they were selling they were kidnapping pregnant women. They were having babies. They would then take the babies.

Oregon Harvesting a pediatric heart can go for half a million dollars. If you look up Tim Ballard, Victor Marks, Jocko Bruin's, they're all god fearing men. They have organization pages. You can see their work, their mission statement and everything about them. But let me tell you this. You've got a wide open border. We have over ten million illegal aliens that have came in. There are three reporters to report this, child traficking, rape,

child sex trade, slavery, drug cartel. That's the real Anthony Guerrera, Alden Cabello and Ben Burkewam. If you look those guys, you will see on their pages everything but that movie portrays and exposes. You've got military age men coming in our borders with children. And these are Hispanic reporters except for Ben burd One and he they talk about it. I have it on my Instagram page. You've got children, they're not even their fathers. But

that's how they come in with these children. It's you've our government has lost eighty six thousand children under Biden administration. Where the heck are these kids at They've went to unvetted government sponsors. I personally know Alden. He's on the Texas SADE and the Mexico SADE. He's educated me for three years about what's going on. Yeah, and here's the thing. And I'm sorry to cut you off, Tracy. You gotta go to break okay in seconds. No,

Look, you're right. This is an issue, and it's not even an issue that you have to be. You don't even have to get partisan about it. This is what is so crazy to me. All Right, we'll get more calls to folks who've seen the movie. Next, hang up, you're the smarter one oh six one FM Talk and News Talk PTI more with Casey starts now. And then you didn't even bring anybody, any anybody, any pezza. You know what I'm saying. He posted pictures, you ragged about it. Yeah, you know, I'm not like a tig a

photo of your food. Guty No, no, no, no, you're not right. Yeah, yeah, but I mean I had to. How is it I'm gonna get in trouble for this because then people are gonna call in tell me I'm stupid. But I will tell you I have searched this out, and I don't understand it. How is it with like, what do you what do you think? What do you think the population of North Carolina, at least in the especially in the triangle, what do you say? Would you say about a third of the people who moved here have moved

from like New York right in that general area. I don't even know if I'm exaggerated on that. No, I think that's fair. I think they like, I mean, you come down, it's it's halfway to Florida, and you're like, I'm I'm staying here. Yeah, and you know the beef is just don't vote. Well, now, a lot of them are leaving a lot of them leave like to escape that crap, right right, We're right, no, no, no, But I'm just saying that's the

constant refrain. Okay, so what's that in mind? You're telling me not one person with a decent pizza recipe could come down here and open a restaurant. And look, there are there are a few places. And now people are gonna get mad and they're gonna email and all of that. But the reality is, I've never seen anything around here like what you were posting. And that's just some random place in Schenectady. Right, Yeah, it's in Rotterdam. Is that not Schenectady? Y I do. It's like it's like

a mile away from my mom's house. Oh okay, all right, but it's in the general vicinity. It's not even New York City. That looked it looks so good, right, dude? You have pizza down here like that or I have not. There are a lot of good spots down here. There are a lot of people I know that move from. Yes, it's very good, but that was the best pace I've ever had, maybe

because it's been so long since I've had it. Well. And that's the thing too, Like you have this memory in your head about childhood food haunts, right, and then you go back and it's like does it hold It's like, you know, it's like movies we enjoyed as a kid. You watch it after twenty years you're like, nah, that held up or not so much. But it's nice to be able to go back, Like I said, the place for me where I grew up. Obviously it's there's not

as many choices because it's very small. But there's a place called Dashing, which was especially the Patty Meil I U see that thing all the time, and like my biggest fear going back was it ain't gonna taste as good. But it does. And I don't know if it's the nostalgia built into it or what, but um, it's nice when that works out. So you posted pictures of these pizza and I'm just assuming that you jettisoned your clothes and

put it in your carry on, but you did not. So did you eat all of it yourself or how did that know there was some leftover? Oh okay, I've got got food for a week. I'm good to go because she loves it when I visit, because both my sisters don't eat carbs anymore. They're like totally keto. You get hub because I can make food, Like yeah, your sisters don't eat anything. That food isn't food. I'm like, MA make whatever you want. Yeah yeah, yeah yeah,

all right. Well I just it look good and I'm just wondering why we can't have that here? All right, let me grab some more calls. These are folks who actually saw the movie. Oh wait, here we go. H New York Pizza sucks. Chicago is the way to go. See this is not this is not what I'm trying to start. I'm just I'm just pointing this out, and I I don't know. Maybe it's something in the water and it can't be recreated. I don't know. All right, let's get to the phones, Frank. What's up? Herry Casey me.

I went and saw Son of Freedom with my family on July fourth. It's a great movie. It's just the reality of child trusking out there, you know, two million children a year. And there's no big political anything with the movie. As far as the religious aspect, Shah, there's a couple of imations of God, but um, I saw nothing as far as the qan on stuff, as far as I can't think of the word of drain

it all. Yeah, this is this is what this is what I'm wondering, because again I didn't see the movie, but I did read a very descriptive summary of the movie, right with you know, spoilers for days kind of stuff, and I couldn't fathom what the belief was. And you know, it turned into a political argument obviously, where they're like, oh, if you don't like it, then you're a child traffick or that's not necessarily the case. But um, I just don't get in the world of Hollywood

why this is a problem. And I don't know. Maybe I'm just dumb, so you really don't either unless it's there, you know, religious aspects. I mean, when Tim Pollard or when Jim and I cannot say his name, I'd either places him in the movie he says God's shoulder or not for sale, and then one of the guys that ends up helping him. Won't give away, but he had an experience with God that changed his life

totally from what he was doing to actually rescuing these kids. That I mean, it seems like movies that have any religious undertone to it are just panned by Hollywood and the left and CNN, and they just they don't want them

to succeed for whatever reason. Well, and here's the thing. Whatever motivates a person, and thanks for the call there, Frank, whatever motivates a person to dedicate themselves to eradicating something as horrendous as that, Like, even if it is a fear that people are ingesting adrena, chrome or whatever, right, I Like, I don't care what motivates it. If that is actively what a person is working against, I don't know what the problem is

right. You can disagree when you sit down and have a conversation with them about you know, the extent of the problem. But it's reality, you know, as you know, not this vacation, but earlier this year, I visited Columbian, Ecuador, and Columbia is where part of that story literally unfolded. It's a huge problem there, to the point where when you visit it is it is something between that and attempting to traffic drugs. They literally

warn you against. Hey, if you come here and you do this, you're gonna get to enjoy a Colombian prison, which I don't know if enjoy is a word that I would use. Having watched that World's Most Dangerous Prisons or whatever on Netflix didn't look like a good time. But it's something that exists. So if you're against that for whatever reason, I don't care what got you there. I don't and I don't care if it's that, I

don't care if it's some super uber progressive mindset. If you tell me that you're against this and you're actively working against us, and you literally have dedicated your efforts towards it, and you tell me you're doing it because you know the sixteen nineteen project motivated you. I don't know how I'm gonna have a problem. I'm not gonna sit there and argue with you. Good. I'm glad. I'm glad that's the thing that you find problematic and you're working against.

Uh. Um, Megan, go right ahead, Hey, Casey, Um, yeah, I saw the movie over the weekend. Okay, I mean, what's what's the beef in you in your mind? Um? Well, my husband says they're just evil and they wanted little kids, so that's why they don't like it. But um, you know, I thought it

was really good. It's I mean, I'm a Christians. I've seen lots of Christian movies, so uh, acting in those is not always good Christian movie though, I mean, this is this is it based on a real thing, But um, there is a I mean, like the I who just called said the scene where he talks about why God changed his life and all that stuff. I do think it's made by Christians. You know, it's Angel Studios, so I can see them being like this the Christian movie.

And I don't know, I just it kind of is. But I don't think it hits like a normal Christian movie does. Does that make sense? Like it not like it's not like we it is Angel Studios. So and I've heard I don't remember who the writer and director and Chridian stuffart, but I heard an interview by him, and he wants to make films that matter, right, And so I think there is an undertone of like Christianity in the movie. There is, but it's not like they're shoving it down

your throat. I think you could be a non Christian and watch it. I liked how they did it. I think it took a Christian company to do it because they didn't exploit the fact that these kids are being abused for my entertainment. They just wanted that story. So I thought it was good. I didn't think there was anything in it that was There was no dream of no, they're not drinking like children any stuff you see in the in

the in the way that people are, you know. And it's the very same critics that thought Cuties was a really good movie, right remember that Netflix? Mo? Yeah, it's yeah, that's kind of what they're talking about just a little bit right there. So all right, all right, may I appreciate it, thank you very much. Um And and like it's the reality. So I you know, one of the things that I found really really creepy, um about Uh, how do I you know what? Let

me let me do this. We're gotta we gotta do weather. We'll hit a break. I want to share an experience uh here that that really made my skin crawl. But we'll get to that in a moment. Is it race stagic today? Is he? Sir? Oh? My goodness, look at that. So we're getting beef for taking a week vacation. You've been off for what a month? Go? Yeah? Close to it? Yeah, okay, all right, well, welcome back, and just in time

because apparently it's so hot everyone's gonna die. So that's what I tell yeah on the Twitter, I mean, if that's where you get your information from. But in terms of locally, it's a cold front actually bringing the showers across the area. Now getting into Wake County and downshort Harnett Johnston County's at heavi your shower action, Davidson County, Randolph County as you getting your high Point and Ashborough respectively in southwest of that some showers around. So this front

comes through, we get a little bit of a break. Mid eighties this afternoon with most of the rain ending, and we will clear tonight a load

of bit sixties. Some of the mountains could get into the fifties. Not unprecedented or unhearded for this time of year, but a nice cool air mask coming in for about one day, because by tomorrow we're back close to ninety Wednesday, upper eighties, low nineties and sunshine and hazy sun at that, and the humidity starts creeping up, and by Friday we'll start being back to the afternoon shower thunderstorm thing, and could get a couple of ticks hotter.

So late week, especially the Triangle could be talking about mid nineties. Tryad maybe near ninety degrees into the mountains in the upper eighties. But either way, casey get a little break with the wet weather scanning around today and then I think ninety plus four most of us starts coming back tomorrow and certainly for Wednesday and the rest of the week. All right, well, appreciate it, glad, if you're back, we'll talk in an hour. Sounds good,

all right? Coming up on the show one, I gotta share that just a really creepy I think I talked about it on the RAM maybe I didn't, but I mean, but it shows you the problems associated with this and specifically the issue the media was talking about there the movie was talking about. We'll get to that. Also, um Ben and Jerry's dude, I love this story. I saw this thing on Saturday. I was so excited.

Um decided they were going to send one of their stupid tweets out speaking of Twitter, and seemingly it should have backfired and I suspect nothing will come of this, but um we will get into the details of how that immediately didn't go well for him. We'll get into that next here on the case O Day radio program Hanging Keeping You Connected. This is WPTI in the Triad and one on six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Oh, this is

fascinating something I had no idea. We did get a company email about this, though, Ross. Did you get our threads account all set up? Yeah? So about that. I will not be signing up for Zuckerberg's poverty version of Twitter because it's stupid. Well, and it's like apparently you got to have an Instagram. Yeah, that's the other thing I heard somebody say, Oh, well, you know, it's just it's easy. It just it hooks up to your Instagram. I'm like, well, are you sitting

down, because they also don't have an Instagram. Yeah, yeah, so yeah. I actually did go and look at it and it was like, yeah, log into your Instagram and I'm like, nope, out, it's not a thing I do. But somebody just send me this email said that if you try to delete your Threads, you also remove your Instagram account. And that's evil genius stuff right there, man, right, So they lock

you into it and then you're like, nah, this is dumb. I'm out, And then you you have to sit there and wrestle with deleting your Instagram too, So which isn't a problem for us, but I can understand why some people. And they were like they were banning people and deleting various posts for a variety of things, and not just on the right but on the left. Two they're like super super policing whatever that is. But I did see on Twitter all of these angry moon bats that hate Elon Musk.

You're like, oh, I'm gonna go over to threads and then they would post like ten times that they were doing that, and I'm like, so, when are you going now? Or later or if you hated here so much, leave and they weren't all right, let me let me share this story I think I mentioned and we get more calls here in just a moment too. This so one of the things if you ever travel to Colombia, Central Central America too, to some extent, yeah, I like, you know, I like to go to Costa Rica. Not as much of an

issue, but Panama. I've seen this Dominican Republic. If you're outside of where all the big resorts are, you know, one of the things being a quote unquote gringo down there. If you go to a place that is a gringo restaurant, bar, nightclub, whatever it is, you're going to have people that go there who work in the the you know, work in prostitution because it's legal or quasi legal in those places, and there are guys that that is what they do, that is what they travel for. It's

a reality. So even if you go to like a Hooters. I was literally in a Hooters and they had quote unquote working girls in there, and that's that's just a thing, and they will literally approach you. So, you know, not so much of the big American resorts, but if you get out into the you know, the countryside, if you will. And I had this really skin crawley thing that happened to me in the Dominican Republic.

So went there, staying at a resort, but left the resort and literally drove over to play golf and then went out some bars in this area and me and a buddy were in this bar sitting there and this woman comes over and you know, I thought that was going to be the spiel, but that's not what it was. She was and she was talking to my buddy actually, because she was sitting on that side. She was trying to proposition if we wanted to meet her niece, who she claimed was fourteen.

And I got the creep factor on that was at an eleven and I don't know if it was a niece, And we're just like, go away, right because it was just but you know, that's a thing. That is the thing. And so if Hollywood wants to make a movie about how people are combating that, I don't care what motivates them. I I I will never forget that. And literally, the buddy I was with we talk about it sometimes because we're just like, ah, yeah, and it's in a

gallowed humor kind of way. But it's just so it's just so incredibly sad man, and like that was the offering point. So you realize that that was a marketing approach that obviously has worked for her. So you know, kudos to anyone who wants to take that on. I'm good with dude. I'm not coming to your cross burning brows has been on me all morning. It's like, ah, you gotta come to my my uh, far right, super racist thing. I'm not gonna do it, dude, It's not

happening. Did you see the story I just retweeted, by the way, I did not. Oh, go look on the Twitter. Luckily I will never be accused of that, well not currently. Yeah, go look at this story that is. That is MSNBC just they're just out of stuff to write about. Man. Okay, So on the story that you retweeted, all right, read the head No, now I get it. Okay,

but I've seen like different versions of this before. Yes, the far right's obsession it's from MSNBC of the far rights obsession with fitness is going digital. Now. I did go to the gym today. I've been going at two thirty. I became a gym on vacation. Guy, I use my Planet Fitness black card, and there was a Planet Fitness like two miles from my mom's house. Does that bother you that it's called a black card obviously,

right? Because you know racist? Right? All right, dude, I used to go on vacation, like when we used to go to Disney, right, you like renting house, and I used to laugh about like, why is there a gym here? Who's doing that on vacation? And now I was like, three days in the vacation, I'm like, I need to go to the gym. I'm like, I really need to go. And let me tell you something. The Planet Fitness in wake Forest is a

little different than the Planet Fitness in Schenectady in Rotterdam. What the difference was?

Like, dude, you know Rocky three where he's training to fight Clever Lang and he's in like that big, super nice gym with the press and you know the women, and you know it's just it's like super nice, right, and then they show Clever Lang training and then later on, right, you know Rocky's training that Rock You gotta can do it something training Rock right Later on some stuff happens and it was spoiling, but he ends up training at Apollo creeds Old Jim. It was like I was training. It's

like I was lifting at Apollo creeds Old Jim. It was. It was that different. And I got there. I was texting Marky. I'm like, I might die. It was scary. And of course it's New York, so everybody's talking with their hands and being super loud. I'm like, I just went the machine. It was very it was smaller than Week four, but I did have a great workout. So now I understand what you're saying. I disagree with the premise of the article. Oh wow, you

don't think that. You don't think there's a connection there, Huh, Like if you go to the gym, you're a big fat racist. I would say, is that I have seen, Like I said, I've seen the different versions of the story around and about it a couple of months ago because

some reporter from I don't know, probably wasn't even MSNBC. But you know how they all do the same articles, right, and they say, you know, if you're conservative, you care more about your appearance, and you're you know, your health less likely probably to drink right, I don't know that. That's what they say that. I don't even know about that. Yeah, I mean that's what they say. I'm not I'm not gonna lie.

Um. But when I'm at the gym, I'm not looking at people guessing what their political affiliation is. I just want to get my sheet and get my workout done and leave. We've talked about a horse blinder's not going to stare at a combination of that. Right, you want to do your workout, but also you're like, why can't I see that woman's womb right from bright That's what I'm saying the horse blinders. I don't want to be calling the viral video. I just want to get my workout done. I

don't want anybody to give me the stink. I'd be like, you're looking at me, I'm wearing nothing and drossing my pelvits in your face. Right, I just get my workout done. So I'm not I'm not looking at people going oh, communist, liberal, libertarian, Green Party, I'm not looking. I'm not doing that. But also, have you been to a

Trump rally? No, again, I'm not trying to insult anybody, because again, I am not the so you're saying, that's not the peak of I'm not Billy Blanks, you know what I'm saying, right right, I'm

not swoll, I'm not rocking the sixth pack. I think a lot of this also goes back to the pandemic and COVID, when the gyms were being closed and you had all these people, you know, protesting saying hey, this is stupid because it was, and keeping their gyms open and doing the fines, and they would do the uh, the interview man, you know, hey, we're here, we're channel whatever guy in New York right over the place. And they always tended to be more Republican or conservative, at

least it seemed that way because they were on that issue. This is dumb, and I should be able to work out and stay healthy so that you can, you know, spread the message of white super According to MSNBC's that's apparently the motivation there. Actually, I didn't even read the whole article because I remember when we talked about it and I just don't care. But I did just see it and I'm like, ah, we're gonna retweet that.

So we did. Speaking of New York or excuse me, the Northeast, this is great and nothing will come of it, even though this is a thing that, if it politically was in the other direction right where the hypocrisy was so overwhelming that it was immediately successfully called out. Um like, multiple national media outlets would not let this story die. I have to tell you the amount of satisfaction I got from reading this Ben and Jerry's thing on Saturday

fantastic. So, if you don't know, Ben and Jerry's obviously moonbats, right. I think the one dude one of the founders was like arrested at some protest over the weekend. But I digress. So what do they do? They tweeted on their official account, and I should point this out, Ben and Jerry's is owned by Unilever, right, the big conglomerate. They have pawns, they have just a bunch of a bunch of different products. However, their ownership allows them to be somewhat autonomous, so they continue to

do their own social media marketing, branding and so on. The account which tweets insanity on the regular. Right, somebody did a thread of all of the stupidity that they treat that they tweet about white supremacy, and most of it was focused on that. So they put a tweet out and they called in honor of you know, Columbus Day and all of that, for people

to give back stolen indigenous land. Right, And immediately a representative of the what is the name of the tribe Western Western Abenaki, not a tribe I'm familiar with the kusuck Abenaki nation, which formerly was northern New York, Vermont parts of New Hampshire. Okay, they said, hey, great, if you're gonna tweet this out, you know that literally your headquarters and like a bunch of your original locations sits on that land. So we'll wait for you

to sign the deed. Yeah, the chief of the tribe says, quote, we're looking forward to any kind of correspondence with the brand to see how they can better benefit indigenous people. So it's a little bit of a shakedown, but yeah, So they tweet that out and immediately this tribe's like, okay, well, you know your company sits on indigenous lands, so give it back. And then just crickets, man, just absolute crickets on this stuff. Yeah, here's the tweet. The United States was founded on stolen

indigenous land. I'm not even gonna get into all of the conversations about you know what ownership of land conceptually was conquered nations any of the rest. And I would point out too, by the way, that Ross, did you see what's going on in France? Do you happen to I know you're r on vacation. I was on vacation. Do you happen to see what's going on in France? I mean, I imagine they all sing in Kumbayano, I'll take care of little different, little differing when in the opposite direction is

still on fire. Yeah, it's pretty much on fire. And and and by the way, parts of Belgian, Swedeen and others are now joining in arguably because I saw these people push them back. They're like, well, you know, this is this is what colonialism looks like when you got to pay the piper. And I'm just like, well, hold on, if we're on the indigenous lands, kick, wouldn't those be indigenous quote unquote white people places? Right? So I mean, how far do you want to

take this? So all of that's going on Ben and Jerry's tweets this stupidity. The tribe immediately is like, great, give us your headquarters and then just crickets on this stuff and just me chuckling when I'm sitting there reading all this insanity. And I saw some guy put a map out too, and he's like, these are all indigenous lands that were stolen and it's basically like

all of the US. And as somebody you grew up and obviously you have various tribes all over the US, but as somebody, you grew up out west where you had some of the largest transferences of territory between tribes that warred with each other. Right, Wyoming and eastern Montana changed hands like five times that we know of. And I don't mean with settlers and people going out

there, I mean with various tribes. Right. So to sit there and ignore all of that and send that tweet out and then get called out immediately made my frigging weekend. And probably nothing. Oh though I did look on the map, ross, Uh, your your house is on indigenous stolen lands. So yeah, that's where you got the hinge from. Really it came with it. That was like it was like thrown into the mix, and that was made by the vikings of the druids. But then they they inherited

the hinge and then I got it from them. Oh very I mean it's very complicated, as history tends to be. Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, all right, so I just now my house, your house, and basically everyone's house. She was listening. Also, you're on the map two, so you have to figure out what you want to do. But

we'll see. And you know, the tragedy is you're not going to see the follow through on the part of journalists where they they should be braiding Ben and Jerry's to the point where they're just like, hey, this is what she said. What are you gonna do about it? And in reality, I didn't see the follow up. So all right, let me grab a quick call or two folks been holding we're talking about the Sound of Freedom movie, and we got into a pizza thing, so don what's up? Good,

good morning. I was calling about the movie. Pardon me, Oh no, go ahead now. I first I wanted to welcome you guys back, because it's really good to wake up to you first thing in the Monday morning. But also calling about Sound of Freedom. I thought it was kind of interesting that during the course of the film, one of the locations that the children were actually traffic too was a Private Island sounds kind of familiar to the Steine Island narrative, and I think if we call it sexual slavery as

opposed to child trafficking, it it bites a little bit more. I think part of the reason the media is so intent on bashing the film is that if you bring a spotlight to this issue and it ties into possibly like Epstein Island, and you have an upscale clientele that's partaking in this, its shifts the narrative from it just being something that little people have to deal with, so to speak, to saying, you know, we want accountability for the

hiring people that are responsible, because if there is no demand, these children won't be forced into sexual slavery. And they've been able to keep the public at bay for quite a while to cannot really push hard for that name, for those names, for those lists. But the fact that there are a few people serving prison time for this speaks volumes. When they know who it is, they could put a stop to it, and I think this film

kind kind of puts it out there. You know, we we have to look at it, we have to address it, and and this is one of the ways to go about doing it. There was another film out within the past month. God is a Bullet dealt with the same subject matter, children, sexual slavery. UM. You barely heard a peep about that. It was really a raw film that was dealt with cults and um sacar child

sacrifice. It was really a tough film to watch. But again not a peep about that in Hollywood because it didn't threaten you know, the high end of scale people that are that are participating in this. It was more of the gangs and the cults. It's a real issue in this country, um, around the world, and we really have to everywhere every exactly if we had the stomach to really which I think this film does make it, you

know, a mainstream narrative. I think they're really concerned that the grooming aspect of it, it's given more validity. Just think about in Ukraine, it's one of the hot spots for adoption. You have Ukrainian women carrying children for

people around the world. These are established facts. And the fact that you know, if someone else mentioned it's child body parts, it's it's a very disturbing topic, but it's yeah, no, but this is the thing too, And I agree with you and I don't think you have to even get into I agree and I understand with what you're saying, but you don't even have to get into that because I think it runs the gamut. You know, um, who's the director that's not even allowed the US because he sodomized

a thirteen year old. Yeah, Polanski sodomized a thirteen year old. And you know, that's a thing that's going to exist, not just in Hollywood, not just in you know, the quote unquote liberal elites. That's a

thing that, regardless of politics, exists. That's why the thing that I was thinking when this woman is literally explaining how she could arrange a meeting with her niece, is not just that this exists, but that is a marketing tactic that she's probably explained to travelers from all over who come down to Dominican

Republic in this case, and it's successful for her. And that's what bothered me so much that it was this weird, just a businesslike approach to it, and you realize how established that it is, but you also realize that there's a lot of people who avail themselves of stuff like that. So again, regardless of who it is and why it's going on. Can we all just agree that it's horrendous, I guess would be my point. So exactly,

it's it's not acceptable on any level. But it's interesting that the liberal media is the one that's losing their minds over it, because, as you said, we should all be able to agree sexual slavery of anyone at any time is unacceptable. Hey, do accept it. I'm sorry. I don't mean to go. No worry, thank you, God, you guys are back, all right, thank you. Well I'm not I'd rather be on vacation still, but that's another thing. All right, we get more calls

and more stories coming your way another half hour ago. Hang on, hey, thank you. Casey is on ninety four five WUPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. Oh no, oh man, look at this. Oh wait, hold on one more. Well, that's appropriate considering what we've been talking about this morning. Former US gymnastics doctor Larry Nasser, you remember him for basically sexually assaulting half the US gymnastics team,

was violently attacked in prison overnight and is now in the hospital. Let's see here they have details. Nah, basically just bullet points, eyes in

stable condition. Okay, all right, dude, did you see the do you remember the video when he was being sentenced of the dad one of the dads who's like because he had two daughters that were assaulted by this guy, and he's like, he's asking the judge for five minutes in a room alone, and then he asked for one and then he's just like, screw it, and he tries to attack Nasser in the court and about nine court officers

take him down. He didn't get to him. But yep, yeah, according to the extent of Nasser's injuries are unknown, he is in stable condition according to sources. This from ABC News. Wow, that's a shame right there. Oh yeah, so there you go. By the way, what the hell over the weekend? Joe, well, Joe Biden. By the way, I just saw a video of him. He and King Charles are We're hanging out taking a walk. He's over in the UK right now. But he went to the beach over the weekend, and like, I'm failing

to understand why this is such a big deal. At first, the basically the reporting was and nobody recognized him except I watched a video where anyone who is in proximity. The Secrets Service was wanding with the metal detector, So I suspect that's not true. But then I saw the video. Did you see the video of him like dragging his beach chair. The whole thing was

creepy. Man, So he's like dragging his beach chair and he looks like somebody who's in his eighties doing it, and it's just it's incredible to me. But it's a self inflicted wound. Why there's nineteen angles to a story like that, right, So an eighty year old something man went to the beach and he's walking slowly up the beach, right, that's the story.

Nobody recognized him. He's just hanging out with his family, except everyone did, and they were searched by Secret Search, which I don't have a problem with, Like I get that, but it it spawned all of these different discussions, and then of course it turned into the Trump thing, right where they're just like and then Trump goes to a rally and everybody loves him and um or he doesn't go to the beach because he's not a normal person.

And the reality, as the President went to the beach, he sat in a chair, his arm looks super weird and he's in his eighties, so he's walking slowly up the beach. That is the totality of the story.

If you want to wonder what the heck Biden's talking about, you need only look at his speech that took place the day before where he said this and the boys quote unquote, now the princess my sister had her own bedroom, talking about when there are two sets of bunks in the other room, and there was a closet that ran as you walked down, you walked up the stairs, walks straight down the hall. He went in to quote, the boys room, the three of us, and on the left there was a

closet in that whole wall. My parents' bad headboard was against that where that closet was, and everyone smile. Really you could hear, you could hear of a restlessness going on, all right. So that's Joe Biden at a speech explaining that he used to be able to hear his parents get it on. And it's arguably one of the most coherent stories I've heard from him in quite some time. And of course people were freaking out over that. So why he chose to tell it, though, is absolutely beyond me. But

regardless, like the word structure, I'm able to follow the story. It doesn't wander. And that was, you know, that was the big topic of discussion of the weekend, when in reality, I almost wonder if they're you know, they're pushing these stories because of his other interview, so he didn't interview with CNN for read Zakara, and he specifically talked about the cluster bombs that the US is sending over to Ukraine. Hold on, oh wait, all right, all right, hold on, I'm gonna get back to

that. And in the interview, in the CNN interview, he says that specifically the what are they one five five, mike my millimeter shells and he says that the US is low on the shells. So at the end of the day, what does it matter now when it comes to cluster bombs, you know, you go back who initially in Iraq, Afghanistan, we were still utilizing these. And so basically you see a missile drop and then the missile splits into however many individual cluster bombs they are, and then it just

sprays an area. It's kind of like in the original Iron Man, where you just see like that whole hillside get lit up. That's what these things do, and we ended up killing some of our own troops with them because they're very indiscriminate. Arguably they're very effective, but they're very indiscriminate. So in the interview, he's sitting there and he's talking to Zakara and he mentions that the US is very low on these particular shells. So at the end

of the day, what does it matter. That's not the reason we don't use those anymore. We don't use them because the friendly fire incidents were problematic. There's a civilian casualty issue. From an effectiveness standpoint. You know, people can argue one way or the other. But if you want to send them over to Ukraine and we're not using them, I don't know that that's that big of a deal. And if they choose to use them, then

they can take the beef that goes along with it. However, people were intimating that by saying that somehow it's giving aid to China and Russia on any other enemies out there, because now they know that we're low on this particular munition. Correct me if I'm wrong. Don't we still have the largest cash of weapons of any country out there. And I'm not talking about these particular

weapons, but I mean nukes, drones. I think we have the most drones, although China, I think from a naval standpoint, is now more when it comes to actual vessels. But yeah, it was just it was a really weird news weekend on that stuff and reality the president went to the beach and gave an interview over cluster bombs that we don't use anymore. So all right, what is this? The fact that the NASA was in stable condition may be good because then he's conscious and in more pain. So all

right, thanks for the email. I mean I can't argue with that, but there you go. All right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. Here we go. All right, we'll get into that before the end of the show. Let me grab Racetagic from the Weather Channel. He's standing by. My email is so weird this morning, like keeps not wanting to load. I don't know if it's a Microsoft thing or what's now You're probably better off. No, no, no, no, I'm with

you. I don't even want to be right. I mean, let's just be honest. Week vacation. I actually if it's two weeks. Maybe you'd feel like me and want to be back because family's exhausting. I can tell you that, Well, that's you, that's your that's a self inflicted wound. Man, I know, I know you did that. Daddy went to visit family. Whereas I'm just like, I'm gonna do nothing. Listen, and I need that staycation with nothing, and I'll get it one of these

days. It might not be the best of days today to be outdoors. Still the showers around, but starting to taper off with the tryad near Winston Salem back toward Mocksville and wood Leaf and Salisbury and some other places in the triangle. We're seeing most of the showers now pushing west to east and ending

over the next few hours. And this afternoon would be shocked. The sun comes out upper seventies to low eighties tonight in the sixties and clear tomorrow morning in the mountains if you have to go that far west or you want to, could be in the upper fifties. So that'd be nice, and I think decent humidity tomorrow with a sunshine near ninety degrees and ninety are just above as we look ahead towards Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, next chance of showers

and thunderstorms after this morning. Casey comes in by Friday, so gonna get hot. I think humidity stays in check for day or two, and then it'll be back though late week and it'll start feeling like early in mid July with maybe some mid and upper nineties, especially for the triangles. We look ahead toward late weekend, the weekend that would have been the good decision going to the mountains. Man, Yeah, you know, it'll it'll be a little better there. I went to h I went to the so I went.

I was into a beach vacation, okay, and and nice when it is too hot to even want to go to the water, right, I'm just done with it. But yeah, heading up to the mountains. Speaking of Moxville. By the way, do you ever go to Moxville? One you won't get mocked, but two they have this like random, awesome Irish pub there. I was just there a few weeks ago, Okay, So a little travel tip folks there. So all right, all right, we'll we'll chat tomorrow, sir. Have it good, okay, thanks man,

and we'll come back. I think Jeff Bellinger's gone. Who do we got to do again? Email is just Jack. This mark Joan Donneger from Bloomberg. She'll join us next. Hang on. This is one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle and near's talk w PTI in the Triad. All right, it is eight fifty two. Good morning, Bloomberg Update. Joan donnegher in for Jeff this morning, Joan, what's going on? Well, Disney did he go too far and pushing up prices? The Wall Street Journal

says, you know there's breathing room at disney World this summer. A company that tracks line waiting time at the parks in Orlando finds the July fourth weekend was one of the slowest in almost ten years. Disney exacts have said they expected weaker earnings from their parks this year, and Disney World is even offering hotel discounts around Christmas, which is usually peak crowded and now the weather could be part of it. But travel experts say pant up demand is done.

It's moved to cruises and European trips. The European Union is taking a very close look at Novo Nordisk's weight loss drugs. An Icelandic government agency reported some adverse events, including a couple of cases of suicidal thoughts linked both to the drugs Saxenda and ozempic. Nobody died. Suicidal behavior is not listed as a side effect of the drugs. With Amazon's Prime Days this week starting tomorrow, targets July sales event, best Buy Walmart getting into the act, this really

could be the burst of consumer spending the economy could use. Placer dot Ai thinks that sales events could be a big turning point for major retailers, even with retail foot traffic lagging behind previous years thanks to inflation. But down Jones says the company thinks holidays have kept their potential to drive spikes and retail traffic. For the second straight month, in June, Costco reported same store sales dropped. Costco says that's because of the lower price of gas, but analysts

aren't so sure. Da Davidson analysts think we might be tightening our budgets. Casey, Zempic is the thing where they're like they're saying, Hollywood celebrities are taking it for weight loss, but it's got like weird bowel effects or something. It's a it's a diabetes drug. And I mean all these drugs can give you those weird effects. Right, Um, it's it's a diabetes drug

with people are you It is effective at helping you lose weight. The real problems with it so far in the US have been that, you know, it's it's in scarce supply because of all that, but also that it will, Um, you have to take it forever because if you stop taking it, you gain the weight back. And it's really expensive. Well Hollywood celebrities, they'll pay for word except for that side effect. All right, Well it sounds horrible than you appreciate it. Stuff like that anyway to to stay

thin. Yeah, anyway, Well we're not among the elite. So we'll talk to you tomorrow. Thank you, Joe. Okay, all right, have a good one. Joan Donnager in for a Jeff this week. All right. So look, I'm not I'm not an armed robber. I don't know the proper protocols. However, I'm assuming when you walk into rob a place you want you want the effect where everyone is scared out of their minds and when you don't get that ross. Did you ever see the video of

the guy. There's the CC footage of him. He's sitting at the bar and the dude comes into rob it and everyone's reacting. But the dude, yeah, he just sits there and smokes and drinks and people speculated for the longest time. You're like, oh, dude, he's got to have like mafia ties or he's like, you know, he's a And they interviewed him later and he's just a dude. He's a mechanic. Yeah, and he the guy said, hey, give me your money, and he's like,

I have like two dollars left and it's from for a beer. So did he turn over his cell phone? I can't remember. I think maybe he did, but you know, the bartender is like on the ground. The other patrons are green. So similar in Atlanta over the weekend, in this case a nail salon, which I guess if I was having to figure out a place to rob, that wouldn't be it. But um, some dude decided he was gonna go rob a nail salon and the problem was nobody gave

a crap. And it is insanely entertaining video. All right, now, job one, you gotta go in screaming, right because you want everyone to know that you're there. You want to be go full Samuel Jackson, right, you want uh the when the robin the bank can heat, okay, or Samuel Jackson or any of the rest. And like, I think it does an okay job. I don't know who the hell is in this nail salon, but they've seen some stuff, you know what I'm saying. All

Right, so let's let's play this out. Yeah, nobody cares. They're not evening this dude, No answers, nothing. There's one woman who kind of like walks out eventually, right, he follows her. Yeah, yeah, and then he's like, give me your money. She's like, I don't have money, and he walks away, tail between his legs. Like what do you do? At that point? You just do you have to turn your life around because you're no good at this. I mean, it's

just just embarrassing. Marky should it to me? Yesterday there in prep and I had to put in the prep packet and she's like, well, you know, they probably because I guess it's a it's a nail salon, and

I guess they're Vietnamese own, you know, Vietnamese immigrants. And she's like, maybe they don't speak English, but I mean, the dude comes in and you can tell what he wants, right, He's told, yeah, he's got like his hand in a in a in a bag, like he has a gun in there, and like maybe they've seen some stuff in NOM. I don't know. Well, nobody strikes me that they were actually in Nom. They're like, we saw Jimmy wise bar blow up. You ain't

nothing. I didn't get the impression they were that old. But no, to your point, maybe they don't speak. There's no, it's not unclear what's going on. They just don't care, and I don't Maybe that's Atlanta right now. I don't know. I've never lived there, don't currently use to live there. I don't know. Maybe it's worse, but yeah, they care. They give zero. You know what's man, and we'll tweak the video out. You can check that out. But there you go,

Monday in the bag. We might even consider coming back tomorrow. We'll let you know. See you
