Cacoday radio program and I was Ross and Evers chatting off the air, a few things going on. We got lots of audio today, but I would be remiss because, once again, for the up umpteenth time, I'm sitting there and I'm just trying to scroll through the social media, mostly because I want to see what what insane thing is going on on the college campuses yesterday so I can put it in the old show prep and boy, oh boy, let me tell you this. The answer to that one is lots okay.
And here, let me just give you a little taste. I don't even I won't even Maybe you're gonna context where this is from. Just know and I'll explain here coming up. But just know that this is a college student on a college campus, at least he purports to be, who is in the midst of getting a arrested by police because the whole thing had gone sideways, had been told to leave, some fights had broke, all right, so it's it's just pandemonium and uh, this this is what he's yelling.
Uh, there's lots of bleeps. I warn you, what are you doing? Learn? I gotta learn about public health? I mean snatching that dude, ride out of class like that. I'm assuming, Kim, what's the one everyone hates who wants to be a doctor and then after they do
it, they don't want to be a doctor. It's it's uh, I can't remember what it is, but that's the class, right Ross you dubbed it in He was sitting in his chair taking notes, right, and they pulled him out of there, screaming, yeah, yeah, he's just he's just Look he's just in here's got a pen and a notepath, just trying to learn, man or he's outside surrounded by the unwashed masses. Which, by the way, I'm I didn't major in public health, so I'm a
I'm a little member. I I did the poetry through Marxist lens. Once I heard about that, I was like, yes, sign me up. But you know, you guys are all like grubby living in the quad in like tents, and I know you get your masks on, but let's let's let's be honest. Those are really only when you when you suspect there's a camera around or you're out harassing somebody. So uh, anyway, so I'm just thumbing through there and for like the the last I don't know how long
this has been going on. Every single time I'm there, I there's one of two things that I see that is annoying. The the tweets saying look between letters, that's dumb, it's and now's the point where people are annoyed by it. So then others do it just a troll, which if it had just been trolling to start with, maybe, but some people we're serious
about it. And two and I feel like right off to talk about this the man versus bear thing, and not in the cool like the world's Strongest Man spencing sponson Magsisin or you know whoever it is is going to fight a bear. Sign me up for that to watch. Of course, I don't want to be on like the undercart or anything. No, no, no, If you haven't, it's like this, it's like the worst thought exercise and most disingenuous responses to prove a point that I think I've seen in quite
some time. And if you don't know what it is, here's how it works. And it's for you ladies, and I guess those who identify as ladies, because this sounds like wet garbage. And the challenge is you ask women if you were out in the woods, you're hiking the trail and you wander into a clearing, knowing that you're miles from civilization, and they're standing right in front of you. Is either a man you don't know or a
bear, which would you rather encounter in this wilderness situation? And almost exclusively when they put together these answers, it's these it's some really angry looking chick on TikTok or some preachy social justice ultimate feminist lady, and she's sitting there and without hesitation, she's like the bear. Okay, okay, by the way, I just gonna let you go. I've been in these situations. But again, this is supposed to be for women. I've literally in both
those situations, been really really into the wilderness and encountered those things. I'll tell you, and let me tell you this. It's far. I will agree if you think you're nowhere near anybody and you see them, but it's not out of the question, right, I've been miles back. I've been
miles and miles back. Like we walked almost for a day to get back somewhere because my buddy had he drew a mountain mountain goat tag, and so we went way way back there and we ran into it, dude, and I admit I was surprised, mostly because like it's you have you had to know how far back it is. But I've also run into a bear, right, and both of which, you know, the bear was obviously less surprising in the sense that you kind of you're ready for that. But here's
the problem with this. And I wasn't murdered by either, just so we're clear, here's the problem with this, because the it's it's this whole thought exercise that's dumb, but is predicated in I think the people's minds who put it out there that they're raising awareness about, you know, toxic masculinity and how horrible men are. And so they'll say, well, well i'll take
I'll take the bear. I'll take the bear. And then the stat that they spew is, you know, on average women, blah blah blah face this, so you know they're they're And then they'll say they're far more likely during their lifetime to be injured by a man than a bear, which do you know why that's probably true? I think, and I haven't run the science on this. I think that if you were to ask most women how many random encounters with strange men they may have right where you're like in a
parking garage. I'm trying to take a scenario, so you're not quite in the wilderness, like you're in a parking garage and there's there's just some dude kind of hanging out in there. Which, by the way, even if you're a guy and some dudes just hanging out in there looking like like he's not going to his car, your situational awareness should be up. But I think on average, the average American woman is presented on an annual basis with
I don't know, zero bar encounters. Zero I believe would probably again you have to take me out my word here, but I think on average, not the average American woman has zero rando bar encounters, whereas she will likely encounter men that she doesn't know. Even in those scenarios, even if she's just in a store, right and the clerk is a dude and she's by herself. I mean, I guess that kind of ticks the box, right. It's the dumbest thing ever, and it's inaccurate. And I think,
and maybe what we need we need more bears. We need because then and only then can we do this. And also what kind of bear? That's right, I know it's Monday morning, we're doing some we're doing some animal biology stuff. What kind of bear? Because if you ask me what kind of bear, and I knew geographically where we were, I could pick a bear that I'd prefer to encounter. You get out in the rocky mountains,
give me a black bear all day. For the most part, they don't grow as big, not as big as the ones up in the northeast, much smaller. And chances are if you just if you're noisy enough and there's not cubs around, they're out of there. Don't give me a brown bear, though, Don't give me a grizzly Nope, nope, nope, nope. So like the whole thing is dumb, but it, for whatever reason that and the key thing or the key thing, the key is on the
keyboard thing persists, and I have I have no idea why. Mostly I think just to annoy me. All right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four coming up, we got awards that we're gonna have. Now, we got more insanity on college campuses, because of course we do. I guess graduations over the weekend. Most of them went smooth, some of them didn't. And one local community I guess is trying to outcompete Kerry for most dangerous city of North Carolina. I'm half joking, although I am
a little surprised by this story. So lots to get to six seventeen. Hang on, we have a little conspiracy to sported, and I need to know what team you're on. So did you all see this? Really it's not a very long video. It's not a long video, but it's you don't need to be the body language person that like O'Reilly used to have on to really deep dive of what might be going on here. But it's it's just Biden, you know, moving. I guess he's probably moving to or
from Marine one, and it's that standard. Here's every reporter in the press pool screaming at him from about twenty feet away, simultaneous questions, and he stops, which is not unusual because then sometimes he'll answer some of these,
much to his staff's dismay. But he stops, and he he gets this really weird look on his face, and he because there's the gait of him moving, but there's also the way he stops and almost kind of I don't know how to scre like pushes out like a little bit his lower back. Well, and this is what he's hearing, by the way, all right, so that's not impress You have to see the video. Do you think was he just stopping to listen or perhaps with something else going on here?
That's the question, because uh, people got jokes, people got theories, and you know, if if you're cognizant enough of how do I how do I do this delicately? You ever been in a position where you're on the fence as to whether that's just gas, so you take a much more measured approach because you just you don't trust. But that's all it is. It kind of looks like that or or uh, you know, he did the
pope thing again. I don't know. You can be the judge of it, because it could be it could be just it was an awkward, kind of weird series of stops and body movements. It could be he was just uh, you know, trust but verify and things did work out. But still you kind of kind of the way your body is ready for it, you can see that, or you know, the worst happened, So I
guess those are the those are the three options. I kind of feel like I'm in I'm right in between number two and number three, which, by the way, that's that's funny. Actually it's a it's an unintended pun, but something's going on there. Well, we'll tweet out a link to the video. You could check it out. Ross one, two or three?
Where's your where are you at? You think? You just think it's just a weird kind of gait thing and he just paused and Okay, Like again, I'm not convinced on any of this, but it just was weird because then I'm thinking about all the contortions when what may make when in that situation. So I don't know. Man. In fact, I was chat Ross and or chatting about it off there. He did not see it. So, but no doubt you saw some of the the highlights or lowlights I did
see. I did see that. I was confirmed. Some people shouldn't be roasted. Okay, some people shouldn't be roasted because they there their ego can't take it. And I'm convinced Tom Brady was that. I give him a lot of grief, but mostly it's just because like harassing you know, Patriots fans in the uh you know, in the rivalry sense. But like I thought he probably could. But when I saw that interaction with Jeff Ross, Look, Jeff Ross, if you're gonna do one of these roasts, Jeff
Ross is going to be there. He is if you think, if you think of ros Jeff Ross is the king of the roast currently, yeah, because the rest of them are dead. Yeah. Yeah, But and you know, you go back obviously the sixties in the in the excuse me, the late sixties into the seventies seventies is really the heyday right of the roast. You go back and you see the old you know, Sammy Davis is
there, Sinatra by making appearance. It's just but yeah, but with the newer ones, because they're really big in the two thousands, like there are two thousands, Trump sat for one. I mean, my god, man, Greg Giraldo is dead, Nor McDonald is dead, right, who's the other one? Kilbert Godfried is dead. It's like Jeff Ross is the only one left. And that now and that lady who just talks about how many like Lisa Lampanelli, right, like her whole stick is that although she's funny,
she makes funny jokes. I'll give her. I'll give her credit. And I actually I enjoy the roast thing. I enjoy that. I that, but I like I like comedy and but I also like specific nit niches of it and and that's that's fun. I usually enjoy those. And how many centrals put out some good ones. Like I said, watching the Trump one after he was inaugurated was kind of surreal because it took place obviously years
before. But like, this is something crazy about the dude who's just you know, getting you know, getting the curtains picked out at the White House, is just sitting there taking crap from Lisa Lampinelli. I don't know. There's something pretty crazy about that to me. But so I watched the Brady thing and I thought it was gonna be fine. And then ro Jeff Ross made a joke about not Tom Brady, but our Robert Kraft, and it was a joke about the massage. Well it was about Tom Brady too.
He said something along the lines of, you know Tom was selected, you know, number one ninety nine. He gets up there, walks into Robert Craft's office. Thank you for thank you, sir, thank you very much for selecting me. I really appreciate it. Would you like a massage? And Brady got up and went over to Ross and told him, don't say
that blank again. And in a in a roast, that reaction from the roast the person being roasted is usually mostly done for comedic purposes, right, but this felt very will Smithy Will Smith Chris Rocky and uh yeah yeah. And then he was like he was motionless during all the gizelle stuff, which I guess I kind of get, but I don't know. Man. You if you know Jeff Ross is gonna be there, He's going to make jokes.
And and by the way, in those roasts, there usually are some parameters about he could get uh like uh with with Trump, the parameters were I believe somebody said that the parameters were that he agreed to the roast, but they couldn't joke about his wife ex wife or minor children. Now you talk, they talk about it, but they couldn't make jokes. And somebody did kind of make a joke, but it wasn't really at their expense, you know, And I you know, I guess I get that because they're
not up there to defend themselves. But yeah, it was really awkward. So and I was surprised. I figured it, Come on, man Craft is sitting there by the way too, So it's it's it's clearly even though Brady's part of the joke, it's clearly a joke at Robert Craft's expense. But no, he was not having that, not having that at all. All right, But maybe you think I miss reading it, mister Boston Paul,
because you're the one who sent it to me. But yeah, also I don't think Rady much like Kevin Hart's jokes, and Heart was Heart was the the roastmaster. So yeah, the whole thing was kind of awkward, and I generally like that, but I don't know, I was half paying attention. I just gotten prep stuff done. So anyway, all right, let's uh, let's let's go ahead and get into this, because we got to We got a crap ton of audio and different stuff we got to get
through. So yeah, as when we last left, a bunch of about a seventy five or so protesters decided to interrupt the University of Michigan's graduation ceremony, you know, to get turn people to their side, and uh, it really it really sputtered out, although it did halt it for a while. And ironically, I think if you're the if you're the Michigan governor, Whitmer right, and uh, you know, part of your hobbies are destroying
kids graduation ceremonies. You had to respect the speed at which they brought it. You didn't have to hold a bunch of press conferences and rope off seeds like they smashed that. Uh, they didn't quite do it all the way, but in impressive run. Unfortunately, all the people who had just spent a gazillion dollars on their kids to go there traveled however far they had to travel, assembled in this stadium with you know, the horde of other people.
They weren't having any of it. And really the exciting part for the crowd was when they started hooking them up and dragging them out, or they told them that people being dragged out were Buckeye fans, so you'd get the same reaction. So yeah, Meanwhile, around these parts we did run into that, not to that extent. And I got to be honest, one of the big concerns out there was exactly this. You know, what's going
to happen these graduation ceremonies. Remember several schools USC I think kind of the highest profile one canceling there, just straight up canceling it. And that's when all the stories started to emerge about how no graduation once again for you, and they started they interviewed this one lady, this one, this one woman who was, you know, bemoaning. I think she went to high school in California too. But just like I can feel for that, I can
understand that. Now, I didn't go to my own graduation for even high school, so I literally I never never attended graduation either, but that was my choice. I left, I graduated semester, I left. I just didn't bother coming back because I really didn't care. But yeah, yeah, if you really want that thing, I understand why she's upset. So the last thing you want is a bunch of moonbats to sending on you on your
ceremony. So I got to think that there is it's a lot easier to control access to a ticketed event inside of a stadium that has security settings to control access, But some universities aren't going to be that lucky, and so we will be following this as many many folks are going to be graduating over the next about week week and a half, all right, eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. Unfortunately, though, if you go to Arizona State University and you were part of the illegal occupation that culminated with the frat bros throwing everybody's stuff in a truck to haul it away, remember that audio from last week. Reality set in. Reality has set in for some of the students, including this young lady. I mean, I'm a
little disappointed. I I I'm being restricted from a lot of things right now that I that I didn't expect to be firstanding up for something that I believe in, and you know I have I know you can kind of hear it, but just to emphasize, she is in tears. She is in tears being interviewed because she's been told, hey, actions have consequences, you know, and by the way, the very same consequences that at the time you did the thing we told you would be the consequences were in fact the consequences,
and she can't handle it. I have family coming in who I have to let them know, you know, not come to my graduation ceremonies. By the way, do you know who doesn't have family coming in. A lot of Jewish students in different parts of the world, Israel kind of spot there. They probably have family missing during this graduation season, so as by the way, as well as probably some of the Palestinian students, So you know, something to think about. Anyway, I'm sorry, back to whatever
this blubbering interview is. I am glad that there is a guarantee that my courses will be taken care of, so I don't have to worry necessarily about about my graduation requirements and the fact that I will earn my degree as I as I have spent the past four years doing. But I'm just disappointed. I mean, I'm a twenty twenty high school grad so I wasn't able to
walk then, and so okay, I'm not able to walk now. Yeah, accept accept The first thing, admittedly wasn't your fault, right, That was whoever you're I don't know where she grew up, but that was lawmakers she made that decision and school officials and all that. So I actually feel bad for you about that, especially with everything that we know. Now that being said, this is this is all you hear, and now you're an adult before. Not only was it not your fault, you were also a
kid. By the way, her name is Brianna Brocker. She will not be uh not be attending her physical graduation there, and she just can't be. I was doing what I believed was right, and I still believe it to be right. Then why Okay, let me ask you a question. If you do, then why are you crying? If you because again they didn't hide that this is going to be the consequence. So if you still think that you were right, you should be incensed. You shouldn't be crying.
You should be angry. That's what I would expect. But then you would also have to justify you know, why you're right. So if you think you did what you did was right, you shouldn't be crying. I would. I would stand up for the cause again, even if it means something negative to me, because, like the cause is so much harm has been done to to all of those people already. I am safe. I am I am fine. I might not graduate and that might harm future job
prospects and stuff like that, but I'm not not as much. I'm not like in physical danger. I'm not I'm not constantly worried about being hurt or being forced from my home or anything like that. I would absolutely stand up again and protest again. Okay, I you know what I uh, let me say this. I don't know you, but I don't believe you.
I think that And here's here's what I mean. I think that this, the consequences here might be factored in next time because you she seems really upset about this, even though it was one hundred percent predictable because you were told like this might be the most learning from uh, from your university experience that
she does. Maybe I don't know, I hold out hope on this stuff, but like I would, I would think I would think that maybe if if this really does cause a big wound, you might be more measured in it. It doesn't mean you can't stand up for stuff, but it's the way that you go about it, because that's that's what the debate here is. Nobody's debating whether you can, you know, walk around and hate Israel or love this or or detest that or whatever it is, and make your
voices hurt. In Chapel Hill yesterday, the student group that organized the initial rally, which was then excommunicated from campus. They decided they were going to go uh slow walk Franklin Street and you know, and that was there. That was their form of protest. Now, I don't know they broke like jaywalking laws or exactly how it works there in Chapel Hill. That being said, uh, it doesn't appear anybody did anything illegal. Maybe just annoying if
some people were wanting to get through there. So you know that nobody's got a beef with well, they don't have a criminal beef with that. They may think you're dumb and you're wrong, but ultimately we're missing that step where she's addressing the cause, but not the way that the cause was promoted. I know you guys know this, but it's Monday and some people are very sleepy. So um yeah, dude, I saw the the the frat boy
summer thing. I think is stuck. Right. If you've seen that, and if you haven't heard that, I think you're you're gonna get sick of that phrase, the frat boy summer thing, and it's just you know, spurred off the UNC obviously what happened at UNC, and then some of the videos from University of Mississippi and Alabama and Hubbard. By the way, this these protests are not seem to be going well down around the Gulf Coast because they're not having any of this, and people people are lining up, uh
and they had where was the video from LSU? And then you have you have frat dudes chanting, you have zero SEC championships to protesters. So it's like this weird three year letterman meme tie in and it's just it's wild. And that's only going to grow. That's only going to pick up. And people putting that giant screen out showing the atrocities of October seventh on Loop. You're going to see more of that. Guys showing up and running the Good
Morning Vietnam audio. That's a thing that happened at USC or UCLA. So this thing's just this thing's just ramping up. But it's getting much more personal. And I'll explain why coming up on the ac O Day radio programs. It's gonna be I wan't say a wild weather week, but it'll there'll be a lot of variety. So if you crave variety, this is your week.
We'll chat with him and we got we got snakes on planes and Google Decision, all sorts of stuff to get to but I want to start with a trend, and I want to approach this just to recre I'm gonna approach it from two different directions. I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna approach it from me the loudmouth radio host, but also I'm gonna put on my PR hat because you know, what we do to some extent he is is
PR and communication. You know, it all is under that umbrella, because I don't understand what how there are There are people who are smart political strategists for both parties. They're good at it, okay, as much as we make fun and all that, and there's some real losers out there, but they're not They They are willing to. They are willing to, even if
they won't say it out loud. They're willing to make decisions based on you know, actual returns, data and things that they think will work or won't work. Right, they fired all those people over at the over the Democratic
Party because I also want to evaluate this, this trend. And here's the trend, taking a modern day political position issue and the issue matters, by the way, but also the process and conflating it with and then insert some very famous struggle for something protests, arrests, perhaps you know, horribleness with
interactions with law enforcement. Can't state is brought up what you saw in this South during the civil rights movement that was done to civil rights protesters and then to see and then to convince yourself what's going on right now is same, is the same, and not realizing that you doing that now. It's not even just the messaging, it's the fact that you would have the audacity to
tell people this is just like nineteen sixty. Let me start with this because this is This is from the head of the North Carolina Democratic Party, Anderson Clayton. And Ander said, she's very young. I don't think she's dumb, though people are saying, oh, she's done no no, no, no, no. Look, I just think she doesn't see this, and I don't understand why, because I am seeing Democrats, you know, try
to distance themselves. Politico wrote an article over the weekend, going, it's surprising when you find out who's funding these protests and the deal is political is left outlet But the only persons surprise might be Politico. We'll get into that later. But Clayton tweets the following sixty three years after the freedom Writers came to the South. We're still arresting folks for peacefully protesting war on college campuses.
All right, so there's strike. This is strike number one. I understand putting that line out there, but people have eyes and they can see this stuff. Okay, remember what was ross? What was the galvanizing visual moment for you with the protests specifically at UNC Was it something somebody said, something you heard, or was it something you saw? No, yeah, no, we talked about it is when they put when they took the flag down to put their flag up, galvanizing moment. Throw and then throwing Remember
they were throwing food and drinks on the on the black police chief. Right, only those two things. And and then somebody reads this, I feel like it has the opposite effect of what you think you're going to accomplish. She goes on to write, university administrators are cross ends here to blame for the violence against young people. We've witnessed. Quote police arrested now she's quoting
from a report from nineteen sixty. Okay, police arrested Writers for trespassing, unlawful assembly, violating state, local Jim Crow laws, and other alleged offenses. But often they first let white mobs attack them without intervention, which, by the way, she should know because in nineteen sixty it was the person who had her job in a lot of instances who was organizing the white mobs. And so for all those reasons, people read that and I don't see
one. Now it comes down to who responds on Twitter, so to say there's not one person going, you go girl, And frankly, if you are a as you're seeing, if you are a quote unquote undecided voter and you are old enough to remember the sixties, this has to galvanize you in the other direction. Up at Columbia, they were sitting there and they were
conflating humanitarian aid. Right, we need humanitarian aid. We might starve to death or die of thirst, blah blah blah, and humanitarian aid as functional adults understand, it is not for ninety thousand dollars a year college students to eat German butter cookies and high end Deli sandwiches. People see that. People recognize that there's an article that WRAL had over the weekend. Here we go headline after row. The network of people who help others get abortions see themselves
as the abortion underground. Organizing a car pool to play parenthood does not I can't believe. I have to say, that does not make you Harriet Tubbin. And when you couple that with hashtag stuff, you know, hashtag activism and you know the LARPing aspect of it. Don't get me wrong, there's some diehards in there, but a lot of it's just people are like this is they haven't found anywhere else to fit in, so this is where they fit in. That makes people angry. I saw some one of the protesters.
What did they uh, they didn't say it, they wrote it. It was basically real like, real courage is not going somewhere else and enforcing your will on other people, but rather enforcing what is right on your own people. Let me let me break that down for you. Real courage is not military service. It's I guess whatever this is. How do you think people are going to react to that? Who are moderate, who are pretty
much apolitical in a lot of instances, and that's what they're hearing. And by the way, that's uh if you if you look at it in the broader sense of things, right, because you can pick out in individual stuff where people what they did here in the US too, was was courageous, unquestionably, and a lot of the activism was going on during the Civil Rights movement and many other things that that turned out to be inherently correct, right
to be the right thing. Uh, those examples exist. But in the overall, you're gonna tell me that a person at Columbia sitting there who's on ninety thousand dollars tuition, eating eating nice and uh, you know, running out and screaming, you know, from the river to the sea, eradicate the Jews, and and and then camping. You're telling me that that person is imbued with more courage than I don't know everyone aboard the USS Indianapolis.
I'm trying to think of really the most horrific consequences. By the way, do you guys you know that when I reference USS Indianapolis, but the refer Okay, if you don't, let me just give you the readers digest, and I want you the whole time time to envision the comparent contrast here. Okay, the USS Indianapolis was the ship that delivered the parts for the nukes that we used on Japan. And because they had to, they had to assemble it on one of the nearby islands, right. They didn't want to
transport all, so they literally assembled it there. The USS Indianapolis they brought the stuff and the japan had they knew that something bad was coming. And remember we had said that we have a weapon and it's gonna you guys are not gonna like it, right we leaf We were leafleting Japan with this, and the Japanese, the Japanese navy knew that that was the ship carrying stuff. And so you know, you get a thousand people on this ship and they're just like, screw it, we got to get this done. It
was rot with danger. Everyone knew. They they dropped off the parts and they were headed back and they got torpedoed. So Japan did get the ship, but they didn't get them before they dropped off the parts. And you know what happened, but the Indianapolis, after it was torpedoed, immediately they started ceiling. Like two or three hundred of the of the sailors were sealed into their quarters because you have to start trying to keep the ship from sinking.
And if you're inside and you're on the wrong side of one of those watertight doors. It was what it was, and there are counts of some of the sailors who survived who literally were having to stand there next to it and have all of the people they work with pleading with them to open the door. And that was just the start of it. Because the ship did the Titanic thing where it went nose up in the water, and I don't
know if you know what happens. Everyone then jumps off the ship and they start swimming like mad because it creates a very strong vacuum current and if you didn't get far enough away, you were literally sucked underwater. And maybe that would have been the better thing, because it also the entire top of the water had now become engulfed in flames, so you could get sucked under. But then if you somehow were able to get up out of there, you
then you burst in there and there's no oxygen because fires consuming oxygen. Plus you're now on fire. And if somehow, if somehow, that that didn't get you, and it didn't about uh. They estimate about three hundred people were lost initially, and then the rest were just bobbing around in the ocean. And then the shark showed up and but it was all said and done, I think that two hundred to three hundred made it out of a thousand.
But for days, the sharks would just run around and eat people, and then they would group up. People would literally group up to see if that would stop. And at first it worked because the sharks had a bunch of like carcasses to eat, you know, people who were dead. But then I don't know, somebody put it on an insta and they're like, hey man, you got to be here, and then like more sharks showed up, and literally people would give up and they'd swim away from the group
and then immediately get eaten by sharks. And this went on for days and days. I mean, just imagine that you got your tent taken away. Meanwhile some guy might be on fire on top and then the bottom house getting eaten, which, by the way, that is now just thinking about that is the worst ross. Put that on my list of ten worst deaths ever. Fire on top, shark eating you on the bottom. In fact, it was so horrific what happened, and initially the details of it and why
they were there and what was going on. Because of the secrecy of the program. Yeah, we used it. But remember we were still then. You know, after that we were rushed into this Cold war with Russia that families of sailors wrote letters because the captain survived, they wrote letters telling you talking about how horrible he is, and instead he didn't explain himself. This
went on for years and years. He finally killed himself. But yeah, yeah, your sandwich was supposed to be hot, and then they forgot to put it in the grill thing. I'm sorry. So when people see this and make statements like that, I don't how you can't serve any purpose to galvanize people, either to your position or to at the very least electing officials
who might be more sympathetic to it. So if the mark getting person and he doesn't get it, and you know, the opinionated individual, sure as hell doesn't get it, but it trucks on man, it trucks on Alan.
What's up, Hey, I was just wondering, Casey. Now, I know that what's going on over on the other side of the world is horrible, but how many of these kids you said, you know, they're going to school ninety thousand dollars a year, which I understand that, but how many of their parents have mutual funds that have investments that are in Israel, whereas they're worried about the school being invested in Israel as opposed to their
parents, well maybe their heart by you know what, I suspect these people are probably also winding to their parents about it if they disagree. So yeah, I'm going to sell off their mutual funds and you know, divest every investment they have, because hell, you don't know where your money's invested half
the time in those mutual funds. Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that they probably expressed their and maybe their parents, maybe their parents the reason they put them over there is because they just to get them out of the house. I don't know, but yeah, I hear what you're saying. I appreciate the call there, Sir. I hear what you're saying. But yeah,
it wouldn't surprise me. The difference is if your parents are paying your way going through college, there is a line that I think that you eventually find yourself at that you have to decide whether you want to cross before they cut you off. So, but each individual circumstances may vary, I guess would be the way to say that so yes, I don't understand how you think, well, this is the same thing that's going to irritate people.
It's not nineteen sixty. It's not the cause in and of itself. While yes, obviously you know people people that push back to allow of the civil rights legislation inherently at the end of the day, even though we don't know fully how it plays out in the end, most people's minds see what they
see when they're where they're evaluating your messaging. Is one group. One group decided that, you know, people should be treated equal, and the other group is talking about eradicating a population of people and uh and you know, wearing terrorist garb. So regardless of how you think, they may be the same. I don't understand how you think that is a winning message. But by all means, continue, I think would be the position probably of their
political opponents. All right, seven twenty three long segment, we'll be back. Hang on, I don't understand this phenomena, but you need to stop it. Why is it that there are so many people who have worked in sports, in the sports reporting industry for so long and or worked like his coaches or just you know, involved with the sport of basketball. How is it that so many of you can't not be creepy when you're talking to Caitlin
Clark? What is wrong with you? Like almost immediately remember around the draft he had the one of the local broadcast guys. I understood kind of the joke he was trying to make and how it kind of came across, but like it was wholly predictable. He made this uncomfortable joke about this little sign, this I love you signed things she makes, and he was like, why don't you make that to me? Right? And he was joking about
coverage, but it came across as really creepy. And then she she literally makes her debut and it's post game and they started they're asking about her boyfriend and stuff, and it's like, I did Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves beat the Nuggets over the weekend, right, and which was amazing, And I do I am a little I have an affinity for the Wolves just because I lived in Minnesota, and I really got into it that year when I thought
they might actually win it because it was like Garnett Zerbiak, Sam Cassell, Latrell Spreewell. Even that year a couple other Hoiberg was the outside shooter. They had a really good team and unfortunately they lost the Western Finals to the Lakers, and Mark Madsen basically was allowed to come in and shive the Wolves
the whole series and then we signed him the next year. But so, but this team looks great and Anthony Edwards I saw them talking to him after and nobody asked him, like if he's gotten to third base with his girl yet? So stop it, just stop. What is wrong with you?
Folks? Ask her about ask her about if she had a good game, you know why, and then if she had a bad one, what she thinks she needs to work on. How about like ask her that people were saying that she wouldn't play, she wouldn't be able to be you know, it'd be a challenge for her professionally, and then having an amazing game her first game. Yes, Yeah, which is why I was sitting there.
Storyline, I'm sitting there on Saturday and I'm scrolling through exer Twitter and I'm like, hey, I'm like, oh, she played last night, and that blew my mind the turnaround because she was just in like the final four, right, the championship game. Yeah, then she got drafted like two weeks later, and then like a month now she's playing in the w n B A. I wish, I wish NBA, NFL, I wish it could all be the same way. That's an increading. That's an incredible turnaround
in my opinion. Yeah, and then people saying she's able to get it done, but I hear you right, No, no, she's gonna be poverty, She's not gonna be able to play. And then I'm like, well, I gotta check this out, and you chall on the stats and you get through the highlights and you're like, Nope, she's going to be just fine. Yeah, she'ld be okay. Yeah, but don't you want to know if her and her boyfriend, if canoodled doesn't that isn't that it?
Right now? I need to know do they have matching pajamas? It's a oh my gosh, yeah, we won't know unless we ask, Like, ah, it's just so creepy, man Like. If people will make an argument, they'll be like, ah, you know, the women and
the men are treated different. And then we can sit there and talk about why the pay differential is what it is right based on revenue derived and the process and all that, but when it comes to these press conferences, you're right kind of and it shouldn't be And it's all the very same woke folks who would sit there and tell you you're a bigot because you say, hey, maybe you should just ask about basketball, and they're like, god,
but there's big social issues. Are you asking about her love life for on her first day? And as Ross pointed out, where there is an overwhelming storyline, it's clear what the storyline is. If if it's the third season, right, and it's some mediocre game in the middle, and there's a rapport that's been drawn, and maybe there was some I don't know, maybe there was a reason that whoever she's dating is in the news, right they
were court side wearing a crazy outfit or something. Then fine, go ahead and get into that, but do you know, do it in a in a in a non creepy manner. But this is it. The only thing that should be being talked about is wow, Okay, now you've just seen what the first next level looks like and you and you dominated the same way that they were sitting there an talking to Anthony Edwards, who put up forty three points to beat the Nuggets. That was a wild game. The Nuggets
are really good. But no, no, we get we get the other thing and uh ugh, this is crazy man, all right and a cop dude. It was a crazy sports weekend. If I could for just a moment, we get we got tons more audio, we get to on the protest fromt But I need just a little reprieve the obviously you had, you had, you know, playoff basketball if you get in the NBA or not. Still, the storyline is nobody expects the Timberwolves were going to do really
well against the Nuggets, and they took game one. Now they still may lose. Okay, the closest I think it was what the closest Cup finish in history over in the world of NASCAR, Am I am? I do I have that stat right? I believe that's correct. I think it was the closest. Yeah, here we go. The closest finish in series history took place over the weekend. And did you see the finish of the Kentucky Derby. I watched that thing five times and had to walk physically walk up
and freeze it and walk up to the TV. So I'm standing there, you know, that you're standing. When you were a kid, if you stood that close, your your mom and yell at you because your eyes were gonna burst or whatever to see it. And then the the golfer who was winning the Byron or win in the PGA tournament over the weekend. He's got a one shot lead. Tyler, No, that was the other day. I'm sorry. Ben Coles is his name, and so this is the Byron
Nelson and he's got a one stroke lead. Eighteenth hole has one career top ten finish ever, right, and and the eighteenth hole is playing as if not the easiest, one of the easiest. In fact, nobody had bogied it all day. And the dude melts down. But for their by their standards, if I shot a if I shot a bogie, it, you know, no, that's you know, that's just me on a part five, probably gonna shoot a bogie. But this guy me, he shoots, and he shoots a bogey, got a one stroke lead. And then the
dude he's playing with in his group shoots a birdie. So literally flip the script on it. So if you like close finishes and crazy stuff, man, it was your weekend. And all they had to do was not act like creepers, and they couldn't help themselves. This is what man, All
right, let's do this. Let's grab ray here for man. You gonna yeah, a good week for you because everything is just always it's you know, it's not San Diago, right, it's gonna be a little up, little down, and so let's uh, how you doing, and let's get into it. Yeah, give you the week a little bit more unsettled than
the end of the week. Big cool down coming. I thinks the headline had some rain yesterday Saturday across the area too, and more showers casey already as we had through this morning of south of Charlotte and west of Hickory and Ashville heading this way. So I think midday into the afternoon we'll start to see the showers, the thunderstorms come back in here. Temperature wise, probably get close to eighty. Most of us will stay in the seventies this morning.
I already start off in the sixties with some patchy fog and drizzle around too, so that may be hampering things. More showers and thunderstorms around early tonight, and we'll still have some showers thundershowers tomorrow, might add a little bit more heat to the atmosphere, but there's still be plenty of dry hours with the shower thunderstorm threat mixed in there. Mid eighties and then Wednesday maybe close to nineties, especially in the Triangle, and it does look like shower
thundershowers of return of the afternoon. The cool downcoming though, is going to be in a very pleasant weekend. I'm going to jump right toward that, because we'll get a cold front to come through by the weekend, a high load of mid seventies, could see some lows, especially from the triad west end of the mountains, maybe into the forties, so you know, a little un settled beginning in midweek. Later in the week it'll cool off, and I think really by the weekend is going to be the payoff. So
fingers crossed and plenty more days to talk about that. A nice school down all the way. Yeah, did your horse win the derby? Now my horse came in second. Oh yeah. Do you guys do a random Do you guys just do a random draw like everybody else? Uh No, we kind of just kind of we didn't really do anything official. Everybody just kind of picked their favorites and Yeah, we didn't get that much into it since we were out of town. So usually we have a little gathering and all
that stuff. But yeah, we're just you know, but secondism as good as first, but it's better than last. No, my horse was so the way we do it is everybody throws in like twenty bucks, right, and then you pay for a second third. And my horse literally at the last second was like I don't want Casey to have money, so it fell out a third. So sorry about that. It's all a conspiracy against me. Man, all right, all right, appreciate Okay, all right,
there you go raced agic from the Weather Channel. Yeah. I was like, oh, it was just it was just my money back. But still like, come on man, the excitement for two minutes and nothing there although the hats, can we stop it with the hats? Can't? I under I'm gonna probably take flak for this, but you know that that tradition is literally like that's a holdover British thing, right because they have I camera what
they call it over in the UK. It's a big damn deal where they all show up and it's you know, hats and they have to have a special suit and the ladies hat like it's a holdover kind of British thing, and like, so we don't need that because I find it wildly distracting. Then when all the little cutesy hosts are running around with obni the obnoxious hats, like, we don't have to do that. We won, right, so we won. Let's let's figure out the Julip thing can stay. The
hats gotta go. But because you know, we claim victory before the British what was it somebody said they blew a thirteen colony lead, we can change our hats. Okay, all right, there you go seven forty six eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four if you want to defend hats. More audio coming up next. Hang on a c O Day radio program, I mentioned the British too, I was probably mentioned this. So they
had a they had a guy by the who was what party? Okay, Green party, but this is the British Green Party who was elected in Leeds and at his victory party starts shouting alawa akbar, which you know contextually can be fine. The problem is this dude, and this was known to voters, put out like social media victory videos. On October seventh like cheering on
what happened, and this dude just got elected. And then somebody had a stat and I was kind of I didn't search every aspect of it, but enough to satisfy me that it's probably mostly right that in all major British cities now or like top fifteen or whatever they have like twelve or fifteen that they consider their major city, every single one, either the mayor or the majority
of the council and council online parties are Muslim now. And you know, when you consider the total population of the UK and the Muslim population, it is way higher than than the percentage there. And how like how a dude who's who's literally like, yeah, you get you get those party goers and then you elect that guy that is wild to me, man, absolutely crazy. So yeah, that is uh, that's just since I mentioned the UK,
thought i'd bring that little nugget up. All right, let's get to uh, let's get to uh some of the call or call some of the audio rather, Oh man, where do we start? Well, let's go ahead and start here, shall we. So the May the fourth right Saturday obviously one of the UH. I refer to it as the nerd high holies
that and pied A get very excited. But you know that's fine. And what a weekend you got May fourth, and then say cold a mile May fifth, right, they and it landed perfectly on a weekend you could go out and probably have a pretty good time, maybe some of you did. And it all would have been fine until Mark Hamill showed up in the White House and uh, well, you know I called him. This is him
kind of kicking off the press briefing. He standing next to Jean Pierre, who in a later photo the two would have the most awkward hug I've seen in a while. But anyway, I'm sorry, let's listen to uh luke here. Well, you know I called him mister president. He said, you can call me Joe, and I said, can I call you? Joebi wan Kenovi the fourth be with you always. That's a little Biden's little tag. There's beause there's him doing that, and then there's him in the
Oval office with a weirdly close little like video being taken. But okay, all right, whatever. Yeah, half the time when Hollywood schmoozes with political people, it's a little cringey because, for whatever reason, and they both have to be charismatic, but some of them aren't or they should be usually and then it's just this weird thing. So that's going on there, and I'm like, oh man, that was but I think a lot of that's colored by Mark Hamill is an incessant turd on social media, and it's just
annoying because there's no reason for it. Also, what happened to his neck in the one video? Doesn't look like he has a neck, So I thought that that was going to be it, but God blessed Justin Trudeau, who himself had to put out a little video for May the fourth, and this is this is what we get. He's sitting at the desk bones he by the way, does that look like a presidential or does that look like the desk in our boss's office? Right like you know our dad, you
know, you want to talk about head of state's desks. United States has a pretty good one. Pretty good one got secret compartments. There's treasure in there, I mean, or there was some guy took it, but you get my and he's just sitting there like he's middle management. So I'm sorry, back to this. I hate that ring Tom, not just on him.
But hey, Hayden, how you doing, Prime Minister? And to you too, all right, so he couldn't even get Luke on the phone, right, so he's got Hayden Christiansen, who obviously spoiler Luke's father. So uh, anyway, all right, continue, my friend. I've actually told the kids they better be binging Star Wars amazing and so oh I'm working. I'm actually packing up my stuff cause I got to hit the road soon. But listen, May the Fourth be with you. I think you get
the gist of it. We'll tweet it out. We'll tweet it out. You could check it out. You see both of them, because I did tweet the the Hammil thing too. So I don't know, man, I understand. I understand that I should be thankful because at the very least, it kind of gets us away from, you know, really the deepest of politics, except for the fact that I don't know Christiansen his thing. But Hammil is very political. So I think people received it that way, and
it's like, can't we just just let people have stuff? Okay? Yeah, it was Uh, it was busy, busy, busy over the weekend of the world of Sports and the world of protesters. Here's a young man who just can't understand how the police who are literally physically extracting him and his cohorts, uh, just can't understand how they would interrupt this educational experience. Listen to this and tell me if you're a BS detectors going on which, by the way, up to that point, where is exactly what people are
thinking looking at him and his friends? This is a school. What are you doing? But hold on, He's going to flip the script. Learn I kind of learn about public health? Is that Okay? I didn't I didn't study public health? That is this one of the requirements. I mean, it might be considering some of these professors literally will give students extra credit for Also, I feel like this discuss. You saw the after the photos of UCLA after they re the protesters, and it's just destroyed. Right,
There's crap everywhere. There's quite literally crap in some places everywhere. I don't know why, there is this thing that always happens with these moonback protests,
but eventually they start going feral. Give you an example. Do you remember when they occupied the Wisconsin legislature over I think that particular vote was over the government unions, right, and they decided they were going to occupy the legislature and immediately because you have to know in Wisconsin, like a lot of the you know a lot of cold weather places is there's tunnel systems, and in Wisconsin it happens to be a above ground so you can kind of see like
they look like Gerbil tubes man and that. Then people all the protesters were just going there and do their business, and at UCLA doing that too. It's just, ugh, how is that from a public health perspective? As somebody who is educated in that, how why would you hang out there? You should have the knowledge to know that this is not that's not a very
healthy environment. But whatever, all right, So there's that, and then we started seeing these videos and I'll give you my favorite example of those who couldn't make it to the protest but still wanted to let folks know that they stand by them. And it's it's dumb. Here we go. My name is Case and I graduated from cal Poly Humboldt in twenty twenty two with the
Masters in Sociology. Protesters of cal Poly humbler have taken over students are pre named into Fataho okay one speaking to the mic person, I don't know if it's nay them or whatever. And by the way, the protesters at cal Poly Humboldt took over and decimated inside the buildings of graffiti, busting everything off the wall. It was wanton destruction. But anyway, so what this person is ripping up is they have a degree that they've received from one of the
cal Poly schools. So it is the paper degree that this individual's ripping up. And eventually, well, well let's listen in it's for twenty second to demand and Israel's genocide in Gaza and university's role in the occupation of Palestine. Protesters at cal Poly Humble demand that the university de escalates by calling off police
and ensuring no academic consequences for students involved. That the university disclose and divest their financial investments in the Zionist apartheid state, and that the university calls for an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Yeah, you get to your sacrifice. Calupoly Humble administration has refused negotiations and instead continues to escalate the situation by
criminalizing protesters family. So today I'm burning my diploma in solidarity with the brave protesters of cal Poly, humble and across the so called US who refuse to back down, and incomplete solidarity with the people of Palestine. Okay, all right? Do you you know? And and then they proceed to rip it
into little shreds and uh, ENLiGHT it, light it aflame. You know that that doesn't that doesn't mean anything, right, Like if you let's say, uh, let's say you have a a doctorate from Harvard, Ross, I have a Do I have a doctorate from Harvard? We'ress gonna look that up real quick. Yeah, so a check and you do not? I do not? Okay, all right, let's say I did and then I lost the diploma. You don't even have to burn it. This is I
couldn't find moved and then I couldn't find it. You know that doesn't mean that I have to like go back to school, right, No, I'm pretty sure. I'm pretty much sure. It means it's over right, I have to if I want another die So if I want to be a doctor again, I have to go and put the time in. Is that how it works? So? Yeah, yeah, I don't. I don't think that's that's not at all how it works. You're still that so okay, now you have to now what are you out. I don't know what the
replacement costs on one of those is from school. Some universities will replace them, some have a fee, right, okay, so what the hell are you talking about. It's like when people burn their jerseys or whatever and you can go buy another one. Yeah, although, but they do that symbolically and this I understand that there's symbolism here, But that's sports. This is life, do you know what I'm saying? And for some people, sports
is life. Like I remember when far I've talked about it. I remember when FARV came to Minnesota and like over Wisconsin, all of these bars would like have far of memorabilia burning nights and it was very amusing to watch, as as you know, the from a rivalry perspective. Plus, we would call bars and randomly uh uh and then randomly asked to talk to people, right, and and listening to drunk packers fans explain why they're burning. It's
just funny. But I don't think they're delusional people at the end of the day. Rights, it's just kind of their response whatever. But in reality, like this person believes they're making a difference and you're not. You could just go get that or at the Ross's play, you just go get another jersey, go on NFL dot com. I mean, but like, this person thinks they're making a difference, and in reality, what was the degree into by the way, it was the humanity? Was it a humanities degree
or something? Hold on, I gotta find it here, Like what whatever will the world here? We go? Yeah? No, it was a Masters of Sociology. I mean, what will this world do without another university at California University Masters of Sociology degree holder? I don't I don't know that we can go on, or maybe it changed your mind, you're like, wow, look at the bravery of this individual burning this piece of paper that
they can order a new one of online. They're so brave. But the funniest moment, hands down, and all the protesters are insanity, and boy, this is like, you know, one of the rules if you're a politician is never hold up a white piece of paper, right, even if there's something written on it, because now you're a meme. Biden just did oh what did he did? He did one the other day what was it?
He tweeted that mental health thing. Yeah, he's like mental health is health or something, right, and and tweeted it unironically by the way, or his people did. But it was on like a white graphic and it immediately and it had his signature under it, and immediately even the most basic photoshop person, now you have a meme, and now there's a meme generator
for it. And in that same way, I think that people have brilliantly noticed that if you have these these gods of protesting, some moss protesters standing there at e lectern right, you know, rallying the crowd, but they have their big stupid mass on, you can make them say whatever you want because you can't see the lips moving because they have their their their their brave
mass on, which is totally about health and not about hiding identities. And somebody mocked up this video of these two women at Colombia and like they did, so I'll tell you what's so perfect about it, because again you can't see the lips moving, but the gestures and mannerisms of the women fits with the language so well, Like there's a part I'm a play it for you,
but I want you to watch it. There's a part where because one's standing next to the one doing the talking, and the speaker transitions into this part that you're gonna hear about how Jewish students have all these friends, and then there is a quick nodding of agreement by the other individuals. So they perfectly timed this. It's very well done. Here's the here's the audio.
By the way, So the main reason that we're protesting today has to do with the fact that nobody has ever invited us to any keggers on or off campus. We've never been invited to any parties. We've never even been looked at by any men. I mean I used to be into men, but then I decided that it would be easier to be non binary. So these
are the main reasons that we are against Israel. It is also really frustrating that many of the Jewish students at the school seem to have large friend groups and are able to meet people and have fun and have a good time, and we just see that as colonialism at play. So without colonialism, we would be able to level the playing field and make sure that students like us
would be the center of attention as opposed to popular people. Okay, all right, so you know, obviously it's an encapsulation of an argument that we've talked about here that people make. It's like, why this is this seems like a group for people who can't don't fit into any other groups. And and I don't know, I don't think that that's one hundred percent false when when you see some of this stuff, right, like the that weird ren Fair couple we had last week's audio, so, like said, very well
done. I'm concerned though, in a in a in a world with so much better AI and everything else out there, when people should be naturally suspicious of anything. Even leading up to this, the number of people who thought that was real and it's not just a testament to how well done it is, like you can't see the lips moving, the mannerisms fit with what they're saying and all that. But at no point did I look at that and
go, oh, that's probably them. And I was blown away by the number of there's still there's still people even after I said, well, come on, it's obvious that come on, dude, the mic clarity is like way too yes, and that well that I started thinking that maybe for you and I it's easier because you're right, it doesn't match. If think about what you normally hear when somebody's standing outside and there's a crowd, even if they're speaking, there's a crowd, noise, there's wind, there's all these
things. And the quality of the audio was clearly recorded on a on a very good mic in in a room, and then they did mix a little background in, but no, hell no. And then people are getting mad at me though it's not that obvious, and I'm like, dude, if you can't figure this out, the internet's not for you, cause you're gonna get duped a lot and end up financing your waterbed. It's what you're gonna do. What who would do that for? Is it? But it's probably
zero percent APR? Right? No, it's a super high APR. Oh man, that's that's I can't believe anyone would do that. What do you do with thinking that's real? Come on, you get it. But it's really well done. I would encourage you to check it out because it is that all right, let me uh, let me pull out of that for just a month. Oh I got it. No, I'm sorry. I I promised you the Trump ad. Let me do that first, because I want to talk about a couple of local stories. But uh so Google initially
said, hey, we're not gonna run this ad. I'm gonna play the ad for you. It's a woman who is sitting in like a campaign office making calls. Is a call bank? Okay, that's standard stuff that unfortunately has already begun infiltrating our life. By the way, how many of you raise your hand, have now had multiple people cold call you for polling stuff, for to ask you questions that's already started. I had like two last week. I'm on the apparently I'm on the hell list. But so it's
that scenario. And she's reached a voter who has been a Democrat voter previously. Right, she's just working down the list, make sure we have your support, and the following conversation takes place. Oh and with the Biden campaign. Yeah, yeah, I'm voted for Biden last time. That's fantastic, is it? Everything costs more? Foo gus rent? Okay, but Biden's helping pay rent for newcomers to America from around the world. You mean illegal
immigrants. I'm struggling to pay my bills, but Biden's paying rent for illegals. They get handouts and I'm paying for it. But Biden can still count on your vote. Right, things were better before Biden. I'm voting for Trump, Take America great again. INCO's responsible for the content of this advertising. Okay, all right, so it's not it's not some groundbreaking ad,
but it is. I think it's a proper way of packaging what is a I think going to be a big thing to watch in this election, right, traditional voting patterns based on different demographics, and like, if you look at the polling and you look at the concerns out there, Democrats are very concerned. Now you know what I think of polling, So who the hell knows, But as soon as we start laying votes down, we'll know or at least have a good idea, and then everyone can accuse everyone of switching
stuff. But it's not some groundbreaking ad. And Google was like, nah, you can't, We're not going to run that, and they have reversed it. And I think their objection, right was over the term illegal immigrant. But if that is a hard and fast rule and then you reverse it, is it really a hard and fast rule? And that play because they wouldn't do it. It ended up everywhere. It was Saturday. It was the only thing on social media, it felt like, outside of the student
protests. But they have since since reversed, and I think that that probably I don't know if it's going to move the needle, but it probably encapsulates what is the attitude of a lot of folks who have voted previously and are looking at what's going on? All right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four what is going on in wake Forest? I was just reading this story. We'll get into the details of that and the World's Worst
Drunk Driver all coming up. Hang on, Well, there was a few videos. The majority of what you see as you see, you know, protesters, counter protesters, folks embracing the frat boys summer thing. And then you see one of the hamas protesters. This really like a bigger black lay a black girl, and people were screaming Lizzo at her. To be fair, she was screaming other stuff at them too, and you and like that was that was really how they played it out at a lot of the Southern
universities. But if in one of the videos, while that's going on, the person with the with the camera kind of pans over to the people yelling at her, and one of the guys there makes a gesture like a monkey gesture. Right, Okay, And and I just want to be I want to be abundantly clear that is that is a racist thing. Okay, don't call and argue with me. You know that you know that it is.
And and so I have no problem if the university says, look, that violates our code of conduct, which is what they're saying because they've opened investigation. But here's the issue. It's not just them. The Department of Education and others have also are also looking into it. Headlines abounded over the weekend. They'll just give you a smatter and here NBC News Ole Miss opens conduct
investigations. This was before the we got the Department of Ed. Person weighed in, uh fraternity Boots broke oh who made monkey noises at ole Miss, a black Ole Miss protester. So I have no I have no problem from a code of conduct standpoint of that. That's just that's dumb. And yes, you know the thing that I say, is it show me real racism? And I'm there that is Is it the worst racism that i've ever know, and but still like that it's not I don't care if you're just a
college kids, you know what's up? My problem is this If that is a problem, and I agree that it is. I think the part where
like, did you see an MIT over the weekend? They were chanting and they one of the chants is half in English and half in Arabic, and so on the English side they would say something like, let's you know, we have to remove all the zion or no, all the Zionists need to be removed, and then in Arabic the translation actually that they would use is death to the Zionists, which is essentially death to the Jews, because I say, well, it's just about the Zionists, right, but that's Israel,
right. So it's like, and I don't know if you if you know the population makeup of Israel, like, you're not hiding this, and yet that's not a code of conduct violation. Now, different universities are different. You can't compare what Old miss did or UNC did, what UCLA or god forbid Columbia did. But as soon as you know, outside powers start taking notice because this is unacceptable, then I expect the totality of it to be labeled unacceptable. But no, does that make sense, right, Punish
the kid. If it's a violation of code of conduct, which it looks like it is, go do that. Do that within your university system. It's not illegal what he did. It's you could call it dumb, or you could call it racist, you call all of that stuff, but you can't then ignore Remember the remember the sign that dude was holding one or no, it was a woman holding a sign where there was Jewish counter protesters and their sign says hey, Hamas, like here's your next victims. I don't
know, is that not a code of conduct violation? I'm very confused with this stuff. So, uh anyway, let mean uh that that story and then the one about the h the auditing firm that Trump's company, along with literally hundreds and hundreds of other companies used. They're like one of the biggest out there. Uh they they they got smacked hard with some some SEC violations and whatnot. And the headlines all read Trump's auditing company, which it's like,
it's not his, it's the one that he used. That's like I used to we used to have how many of you had MCI long Distance or whatever, what was the big company that we found out with the Arthur Anderson thing was just a big scam that world come or doesn't matter. But that's like saying, if you had their phone service, you're somehow complicit. It's just the dumbest thing. And the reason that they included Trump's is obvious.
But normally in a story like that, you wouldn't include one of their customers. And the reason is is because from a journalism perspective, you would realize that it might give the false impression that they were somehow complicit or had knowledge in it. And they were very clear in their statement that Trump was not
or his company was not. They're not accused of anything here. They just hired one of the big firms and turns out that there was shenanigans going on, and there were hundreds and hundreds of other companies that also use this firm. So but you got to do that to distract from the rest of the
insanity that's out there. Meanwhile, closer to home, I was interested in this story because I think I was talking about neighborhoods and communities around the Triad triangle where you know, the general impression is that it's it's gonna be a much safer environment. It's very family oriented. They have a lot of stuff. There are a lot of programs, sports for the kids, good schools,
all that. I think wake Forest is there. I mean, the biggest beef I hear about wake Forest is the size of some of the developments and then the traffic that ensues. Ross lives in wake Forest. What I say, I say, just stop it stop. But what do you mean stop the building? Stop it? Okay, Oh, we've had enough. You're all out of it. We're out of buildings. Ross has no more sun. So he's personally affected by one of these buildings. But but that's
that's, you know, in the grand scheme of things. That's a good problem to have, if you know, to be known for, you know, as far as bad things go, Like, it's just there's a lot of it's busy because they keep building new stores and and play you know, stuff for the stuff for families to go to. All right, fine, However, they also have an event. I'm gonna be very careful because I had a little slip on his it's called Friday Night on White Am I correct
on that? Yeah? So this is okay, And this is like a lot of communities. This is something that happens during the you know, the warmer months, and uh, here we go April, between April and September, and basically downtown on White Street is like a little open air party.
They got concerts, they got you know, various stores are embracing it and they're you know, people are strolling and walking and I I, admittedly I've never been up to one of these events, but you know, it sounds pretty similar, except now they're struggling because it's also being seen as a babysitter. The town of wake Forest has announced they're considered implementing a curfew and other changes because, according to the town, parents just drop off the big bus
loads of teenagers who then run around and cause problems. In fact, they say that the unintended teens numbers has grown exponentially and that they're looking at a curfew with this in this is what balls dealt with, right, because the people had just dropped them, all the kids off, right, And and when you're a teenager, a gathering point for you and all your friends.
I like, I get that we had we had a parking lot in town when we were in high school and everyone kind of cruised the main street and there's a parking lot we could pull in and talk to people, and you know, you create your own fun. But we all we weren't running around uh doing uh doing crime and stuff and uh harassing families and uh there are multiple fights, merchants reporting uh teenagers walking in and just being obnoxious and stealing
stuff in some cases. And so they're gonna have to get into this. And I got to admit, that's not at all what I thought of when I pictured this thing in wake Forest. It's ridiculous the event or what it's been. We've been like, you know, I live like right there. Yeah, you're a very where you can hear it. It is super loud and Lincoln has hard time sleeping a night. They're supposed to stop music a nine o'clock and it just goes and it's super loud, and the traffic is
ever. There used to be a big parking lot over by the CVS on White Street where you could park. Yeah, that is that's not existent anymore because they're building what like like I mentioned, they just keep building, they build it. They're building these new townhouses. So that's eliminated that parking. So we had issues before people will just like park in front of our driveway or park in front of our house, and it's just not a fan,
have not been a fan. And it's just now I'm concerned about Yeah, the children, So we need to stop this event because of the safety of the children. Has nothing to do with me, right, sleeping house are yeah? Right now? Yeah? No, fine, man, you're a big You've always been passionate for the kids, like the Lambo for the kids and all this stuff. Yeah, yeah, you're a you're a fighter. So all right, so you just think so it's not even the one issue.
You just want the whole thing to go completely. It's impossible to drive past that way because they shut down all the roads to drive around the stupid thing. Like I said, yeah, I'm not one who would generally go to something like this for all the reasons, but the parking and oh the parking across the driveway thing. Dude, No, it's so annoying. Who who does well you have eyes? Right, you drove like people live here, man, like people we live here. You know, my house is
across from an elementary school and car car line is an issue. Sometimes cause the car line will line up and they're blocking not just my drive everyone's driveway. Uh you know in there, some don't. Some parents do the thing just like you wouldn't block an intersection where they kind of wait. But the number of times where I I I even had a conversation with a woman and she just looked at me like and then points to the school. It was a nonverbal It was across point to the school, and I'm like, I
understand, you're here to pick up your kid. You're about to get rammed. What is wrong with you? So all right? Never mind? Ross got me on his angry train. I'm here for it. Raced Agic is from the Weather Channel and also is probably annoyed when people partially across his driveway. What's up there? Hey? But yeah, we had a spot to where we park that we behaved ourselves most of the time. Oh good, okay, yeah most of the time. Anyway. Really not gonna see no
a lot in the way of sunshine today. A little clouds, mist and fog still be reported in some spots. This morning. Showers off to the west started to come in slowly. I think the safternoon so widely scattered showers, a few thundershowers in today's forecast, and I think that's going to be the rule through maybe even the entire week, scattered areas of showers thunderstorms.
A change coming will be warmer temperatures at first and actually getting hot humid here midweek and then cooling off a bit, so a few showers thunderstorms, especially the safterdoona and this evening upper seventies to low eighties today, showers and thunderstorms.
Tonight, the stronger storms may have some downpours once again, and Tomorrow will have some showers thunder showers midday through the afternoon, with some partial sun mid to maybe some upper eighties, so starting to feel some of that heat. It could be close to ninety in spots Wednesday and again in the afternoon, some shower stutterstorms in the forecast before we start late week, maybe by
Friday of the weekend cooling off. I want to get to the weekend only because I think it's going to be so pleasant around here that we may forget all about this warm and increasingly warm temperatures and committing around. By the weekend, we may only have highs in the seventies with maybe some of the low's case seed down into the upper forties, especially from the Triad west into the mountains. So I gotta get a nice little break from the on to get
off again. Shower stutterstorms this week, wait till the weekend, there should be much improved. All right, thank you, sir, and we'll talk tomorrow. Have we go on? Okay, we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger. Hang on, well, good morning, casey. News of an April slow down in job growth renewed investors hopes for interest rate cuts. Tech stocks led a Friday rally on Wall Street, and the futures point to a continuation of that rally. This morning. The now futures are up one hundred and
sixty three points. We get more job market news little over an hour from now the conference board. We're released at some lament trends index. It's a forward looking index and it may offer some clues to the face of hiring in the months ahead. Warren Buffett says corporations can expect their federal tax bills to rise.

Starbucks' former chief executive has some advice to the coffee chain, which posted the first decline in sale since the early days of the pandemic. In a LinkedIn post, Howard Schaltz urged Starbucks to fix its operations and own
the shortcoming without the slightest semblance of an excuse. Directors of Paramount Global reportedly decided over the weekend to consider all buyout offers, and exclusive window for sky Dance to negotiate a deal expired on Friday. Now, The New York Times says Paramount has agreed to open talks with a buyout group led by Sony Pictures and Apollo Global. You Casey. Employees of Daimler Truck ratified a new four
year contract. Negotiators for Daimler Truck from the United Auto Workers hammered out the deal last month, among other things, that will raise workers wages more than twenty five percent. This is a pack that covers workers in North Carolina, Tennessee, and Georgia. Casey all right, thank you sir, appreciate it. We'll talk tomorrow. Okay, have a good date, take care. Right there you go. Jeff Bellinger, CaCO Dave Radio program. Let me
quick update on this. So you remember the video of the student in Winston Salem smacking that teacher a couple times, and actually there was another incident in the January, February and then April was that. So like that's two dips at the well where a student has put hands on a teacher and the first time wasn't enough. So now obviously with the viral video, the second time that got people, that got people noticing, well the student is now charged
as an adult with like some big time felonies. Yeah. And I did see some some of the you know, defund the police people who are upset. They're like this is this is the prison pipeline all this, and it's like, I, you know what, okay, right, because it also tells other students all of the crap that you can get away with in our modern educational system does not include physically assaulting a teacher. And you know,
we've had some crazy videos. We had that one here and then we had I remember that big student who had his his what was it, like, a play a little handheld gaming system taken away and pummeled that teacher out in the hallway. It was a female teacher, right, So yeah, I'm okay with this that people are like, Oh, Jim O'Neill's just doing this because he's running for office. Your mind, he's in the runoff, which
is what next week. Next week is the runoff for lieutenant governor. But I don't know that that's like Jim O'Neill is Jim O'Neill, Like he's been around politics enough here you kind of know where he stands, and I think people are outraged at that. So, yes, he is a seventeen year old facing among you know, felony assault and kidnapping. I believe it's one of the charges, which again this goes back to not letting somebody leave a
situation. Is that strong compared to what other students have been charged with recently? Yeah, but I think that that speaks to the cowardice of some of the other school districts and other prosecutors. You can't have the students thinking that they can sucker punch teachers with minimal like that's so over the line. So over the line. So yeah, I'm good with this. And you know, I don't know if he's got other charges. I don't know what the
background is. I've seen pictures of him throwing gang signs up, but like that's social media, so you know, that doesn't always mean somebody's in a
gang. So I don't know that, but I do know that if you're another student in Winston Salem, you're another student in North Carolina, and you're following this story and you've ever even thought about smoking a teacher, just know that these are the consequences that may come come along with it, And obviously your mileage will harry depending on which county you're in and who's doing the prosecuting
