All right, you're boring and everybody, and welcome me. It is six oh eight. I swear my voice sounded better earlier. I feel one hundred percent. So I just want you all to know that. So you have expressed concerns, but now it's just the sound. I'm a full boar energy. So well, to the extent you know that we are. We're all listless around here this time of the year. With six hours ross, we have six hours. It's not even a work day. Well, I mean

six hours on the air. We got all the production and stuff. But yeah, two more shows and then they k baby and we got some mystery to solve this morning. This is juicy, and I'm gonna call in contacts in a favor this morning. So I was reading this story as I got up this morning from Axios Raleigh. So Axios is they have expanded into many, many, many markets. Basically, they have a reporter in any decent

sized city. I shouldn't say any, but a few, and they have you know, basically, they picked the big metros here try a triangle, Charlotte, And occasionally I stumbled across their stuff and let's see. Lucille Sherman is the author here and for our listeners in well, all of our listeners will be interested, but especially those who live where our tower is actually for

WPTI ninety four to five are Greensboro Station, Rockingham County. So over the years, I feel like we've had a pretty good relationship with the sheriff up there, Sam Page, had him on for a few things. I got to know him at the Washington, DC radio row that we used to do. Sadly, we didn't get to do it this year. Very much look forward to that each and every year, but there were some circumstances where they didn't hold it this year. And so like I feel like, I'm very

hopeful we can get Sam to come on the show. This morning. I gonna I'm going to call in the ducats. I haven't started to reach out to him because it's O dark thirty. But and the gist is this, there is a somebody somebody put a pole out, all right, this is

where this started. Somebody put a pole out and basically polled what would happen if Sam Page ran for the seat currently held by Phil Berger, who of course is ahead of the North Carolina well technically lieutenant governor is presiding whatever but Senate Leader Phil Berger, and you know Berger obviously over the how long has he been in there? Decades, twenty years or something, It's been a long time. He's had challengers in the past on the Republican side, and

he's been very effective. Yeah, two decades. There we go them away. However, in the poll, Sam Paige destroyed Burger. Now, a poll is a poll is a poll. Anyone who was alive during the Trump presidency understands this, or or I should say, during the initial Trump campaign. That being said, it was by thirty points. And I know that there is lingering resentment from many folks in Rockingham County over all of the casino stuff. Sam Page, who obviously is the sheriff, is in fact running

for lieutenant governor. However, if you look at polls there, he's not the leader. So the idea that he could run for Phil bergersov. None of this is official, mind you, this is but a poll. However, that doesn't mean that people are not trying to recruit him, and that he may not find that as a plausible alternative since he's not getting as much juice in the lieutenant governor's race, and the idea that the incumbent Senate leader.

Remember Tim Moore is out, He's already announced he's he's not going to be in charge of the House next year. So the idea that the incumbent Senate leader could find himself primaried and potentially lose. And frankly, if he gets primaried, whoever the Republican is will likely win that seat. And from what I what I gather, Sam Page is pretty well liked. Probably not by you know, methatics or anything, but you know, probably pretty well

liked. So that's juicy. And I'll start I'm gonna I'm gonna buz him here in a little while. But I know, I know for a fact some of his deputies are listening right now because uh, I just know he told me how many of you listen, Tell him to call the show. I'd love to chat with him. And what's ironic is there's already people surrounding Berger who are threatening lawsuits and stuff. It's also dumb man, Uh hold on? What is Boston Paul email? Dude? And it has to do

with booze? Every morning? Bro, first thing yesterday, Nacho cheese, Dorito's booze? All right, for your voice, try a shot of dill pickle. Yeah, because I have dill pickle vodka just sitting around the house, just sitting around, just sitting around. Ross has it? Ross? Do you have dial pickle vodka in your studio? Oh? Wow, you don't have a full bar in there anymore? With with the doritos nacho cheese. All right, Well, unfortunately we do not have dip did they?

I didn't find any. But after the client party last Friday we had wine and beer. I didn't see any liquor. So maybe there's some hide in the bosses. Maybe I'll have to check. So no, I'm sorry, Boston Paul. We don't just randomly have obscure liqueurs hanging out at the studio. Okay, all right, thank you for that. I don't even is that a thing. I'm sure it's a thing because I've seen all the gross vodka flavors out there, like cotton candy. But yeah, I don't have

any of that. Now would that go well in a bloody Mary? Perhaps? Yeah? Yeah, probably, but not a thing I have. All right, back to this, so, yeah, so you got people surrounding Burger threatening lawsuits. It may have to do. I think the group that did the polling's not registered, which I don't know that you have to be registered. I don't even know what their beef is. I've read this stupid story a couple of times and I'm I'm unable. I'm unable to diagnose what

the beef is. Now would that be interesting and would most people point to? And I thought for a moment the Axios reporter didn't understand why people were so mad at Phil Berger, but she does. She does talk about it later in her story. So credit where credit is due. But yeah, that casino thing, man, that divided a lot of people. I remember what I'm trying to remember what Mark Walker told because he was up at the

no casino thing and there was like hundreds of people. And if you ever spent time in Rockingham County, it is not a populated portion of North Carolina, right, So getting hundreds of people to drive in from all over Rockenham County is very impressive. But it also lets you know that people are very passionate. Yeah, so Page, who is currently running for lieutenant governor. Following a Senate poll that came out last month, Page told the News and

Observer he had a lot to think about. So, I mean he's still got what ten days or something, nine days a little more than a week to figure out what's up there, but that could be interesting. The phone number, by the way, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. But if any of you listening over in the Rockingham County Sheriff's Department, Sam's got my number, so maybe doesn't he can just called the show

number, but he does because we've texted before. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. I I'd love to wallow in some gossip here on the show this morning, so let's make that happen, all right. Do you think they have pickled vodka down at the little store bruh, the little free the little Store of make Sure You're honest store. Oh, that's such a thing down there. Man. All right, well, probably not,

but thank you for the suggestion. I've had a hundred Like if I tried every single remedy that's been emailed to me, and I look and I appreciate it. I'm not dogging on anybody. Well a little bit on Boston, Paul, thinking that we have pickled vodka just sitting around. But yeah, I'd spend my whole day doing that. Somebody did tell me to gurgle with salt water, and that kind of worked a little bit. But then when you talk, it would be fine if you didn't talk a whole bunch

after because your throat gets really dried out. So probably a good remedy, but not really a good remedy for talk show hosts right before they go on the radio. But again, I appreciate the ideas. That's what we're here. It's an exchange of ideas. That's what we do here on the show each and every fine morn all right, So yeah, I want to get into the Rockingham County gossip. Oh wait, hold on, hello, Mark,

what's up now? I just want to let you know that what you're talking about is a pickle Yeah, I'm quite familiar with pickleback, sir, Yes, yes, yes, but I got it. Yeah, but not not in the radio studio. They kind of that, so yeah, all right, all right, yeah, no, they're delicious. I'll tell you what, man, Although not enough people know about a pickleback in North Carolina, because in Minnesota they would offer you one with a variety of things,

and I just took it for granted. And then when I came to North Carolina, a pickleback and a side car were not things that many bartenders knew. What the heck they were right in North Carolina. A sidecar for those thanks for the call. There s a side car is when you get a bloody Mary and they give you like a little shooter glass, a little bigger than a shooter glass of a beer. And to this day and some of

this, some of you are going to be horrified by this. I like mixing beer into my bloody Mary, not a make a lotta but just a little tang of that and then the sidecar. And that's it's a trained response. You should try it sometime. You don't go for some heavy A Mexican beer works fantastic, but just your general American logger or work fine too. But don't put Miller light in there, because if you mix that and then that and then I saw on the internet that it it it, it makes

you question your sexuality. Somebody sent me a meme the other day. I thought we were over the Miller lite thing, but apparently we're not so AnyWho, it's a joke. By the way, uh six Cacoday radio program Rundown coming your way, including Yes, the Hunter Biden insanity in just a few minutes saying on this is one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle and

News Talk ninety four five w PTI and the Triad. So yesterday, as predicted, the Hunter Biden appearance non appearance, and I say appearance because he did hold a pressor in front of the Capital, flanked by Eric Swaalwell, which you know. Part of the press conference, as you know, is the visual, which is why do you watch any anyone running for office? Right? And then you look at the background. It's usually pretty strategic,

right, Like all right, let's get a few vets in here. A friend of mine here in Raleigh, who is she's an attractive woman, and that's important here because her and her very attractive friend when Trump came and did the thing at the State Fairgrounds. I can't remember the name of the big building there because I'm dumb, but you could tell they were rounding up hotties.

That's what those are her words. By the way, She's like, yeah, they were rounding up hotties, and we made the cut, so she got to they to sit right behind trum that was hey, uh yeah, or you know, he stacked some veterans or usually on the Democratic side, they're like, uh, you know, they want the un behind them, so whatever. But for whatever reason, Hunter Biden's like, yeah,

can I have Eric Swalwell's hang out next to me? And that's what happened, and he decided to go on a diatribe about all of the horrible things happening to him. The displayed naked photos of me doing an oversight hearing, and they have taken the light of my dad's love, the light of my dad's love for me, and presented it as darkness. They have no shame. Well, look, here's the deal. And now the naked photo thing. I didn't I didn't happen to agree with that, but I also didn't

happen to care enough to disagree. Does that make sense? However, this narrative that it's a father's love obviously has been conveyed to Hunter, and you know they're gonna they're gonna stick with this. That being said, I bet your dad does love you if the allegations are true, because holy crap, you're funneling some cash. Don't worry. There's more from both there and inside the White House. At the presser yesterday. We'll get to all of it

coming up Cacoday Radio program hang Out. The show after the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search case Oday for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All right, good morning everybody, and welcome back. It is six thirty five, Happy Thursday, all that good stuff. We will not be chatting, as we've kind of regularly started doing with our bounding into comics journalist author Fellow talk about things that are politics and irritate some of you. Stephen

Kent, wh what is the deal? He's traveling or something. He's in Warsaw Poland. Oh no, tell him not to to go to a Manora lighting there. Did you see that video? Yes? I did? Yes, Okay, yeah, or go I just don't stand near the Manoras because some politician with a fire extinguisher will come over and put him out. So he's in Warsaw Poland, Holy cow man. I like to travel, but I don't know that I've ever considered Warsaw Poland. Is that a work thing

or is that vacate? He said it was the work thing, And then Twitter and his ex account also like photos like hanging out Warsaw Poland. So I'm like, I mean, I shouldn't say that I don't want to go there. I just never never really crossed my mind. But huh, maybe one day. So we'll see, all right, Well, I hope he

has fun and then we'll talk to him in the new year. Dude, did you see, by the way, did you see the interview of the the chick who played the Little Mermaid interviewing Rachel whatever her name is, the snow white actress. Did they put out They did an interview like she has a show or something that's like sit down interview, and it's weird, man, It's just it's them for like, and it's like forty five minutes and

it's them commiserating over what it's like to get flack for their casting. And I did watch the critical Drinkers take on this, yes, and I think he's spot on where basically he's like, they're not the same people, and Disney's trying to make it seem like they're the same people, right, the actress who was cast and you know it comes down to race swapping characters. The actress who was cast to play a Little Mermaid. People's beef wasn't with

her. You would agree with Ross, You would agree with that, right. The beef wasn't with her personally. It was with the people putting the movie together, right, uh correct, yes, yeah, but then the press stuff started, I'm talking about Little Mermaids. Oh oh yeah, no, yeah, completely completely she her She never leaned into it, never, She just did her thing and by all for all practical purposes, she can sing. She's a good actress. No, people's beef wasn't with her.

It was with what they felt was Disney making a move for the sake of making a move, whereas with snow white actress. You're right. At first, people's beef was with the studio. Although I honestly I thought she was fine for being cast. I think she looks enough like her because I know people were like reading it like skin as white as snow, all that she's if you didn't know that, if you didn't know her name, or that she was, you know, of a Hispanic background, I think just to

people's eye, there wouldn't have been a sudden like I don't care. But to your point, you're right, the beef a rose, the big beef when she opened her damn mouth and crapped all over the subject matter. It was like the one two punch because first you saw the promo material and you're like, wait, those are the seven Dwarves, right, like the Dwarfs, so what people was? It was what people are and they're like,

okay, well let's see what she's about. And then she opens her mouth and it's just like just give her like a shovel because she just keeps digging, you know, she can't help herself. Did you see what they're doing with the Dwarves? Now? I guess they're gonna see GI Dwarves? Yeah, yeah, that's what What if they see G? I like, what if they make it like a like a who Frame Roger Rabbit where it's like the original Dwarves with the live action actor. Okay, pretty cool? Yeah,

I'd be fine. But here's but but they there was a photo that I saw. Did you watch it? Watch the Critical Drinkers thing? He has a photo of it or still from it. I don't know if that's one hundred percent of where they're going, but I think that's where people are right now. And the irony is so now you're going to do Dwarves, but you're not going to hire people with dwarfism. Because Peter Dinklic came out

and did his thing. And so a bunch of actors who are who have Dwarfism are now not going to get to work, and I guess they'll get to voice. So who the hell I want? I want seven yaw ming Dwarfs. I want like seven Andre the Giant. I want the exact opposite that, So he more like the Seven Giants, but we'll call him Dwarfs because it's twenty twenty three or twenty twenty. They identify it, know that matters anymore? So uh, okay, well you get Draymond Green. They

just suspended him for in perpetuity, so it was seven Draymond Greens. Okay, apparently you can't just punch an opponent. I don't know. NBA rules are a mystery to me. So yeah, no. But so the beef with with her was with her with her movie, and so Disney's all right, we'll do this thing and then people will feel bad about their criticism and it's just people clowning on it. I'll save you forty five minutes. Most of it is them just you know, commiserating, and then like five minutes

of it is that. But it attempts to link the two and the two things are not the same. I don't even know how I got on this conversation. It was just something that annoyed me yesterday because I'm like, are people that stand? They probably are a lot of people probably are. But whatever, all right? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So back to Minion's Hunter Biden, have you no shame? Sir? Very famous quote from politics here Ian America, going back to a certain Wisconsin

senator, and Hunter did his version of it. They displayed naked photos of me toriing and over hearing, and they have taken the light of my dad's love, the light of my dad's love for me, and presented it as darkness. They have no shame. All right? Now, I remember why I was getting into the racial Zigler thing. I remember her name like that, because it's performative and it's crafted, and it's by you know, it's by design, it's consulted. This is the narrative, this is just a

father's love. There's nothing to see here. And Hunter came out, and you know, he read his lines standing next to Eric Smaalwell, which again I don't understand, but whatever, and scene and the reality is he didn't go in he didn't sit for his deposition. Trump's kids sat for forty hours. I want you to know this, That is how long Don Junior's deposition was. It was forty hours. Not all at once, obviously, but over the course of days. He sat for forty hours of deposition. Because

this is the process. This is the process in Congress. You have deposition and then you have public hearing. And they don't want the deposition because the deposition allows you to get into things elsewhere. They say it's because Republicans and I hope you're sitting down for this, will then take select portions of the deposition and put it out into the media, thus creating a false narrative.

And I, for one, cannot imagine anyone doing that except for every Democrat on the J six, every Democrat on the Russian collusion, and of course every Democrat during the totality of the Mueller investor where stuff was leaking out, we find out that even the former FBI director himself was leaking things. But this is their concern. But he went further. There's no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business, which is not

true because and you can claim it's to a small amount. We know for a fact that there was a pay, a monthly payment of about a fifteen hundred dollars. That one's on the books. The rest is very strategically named in generic ways, and people suspect it is and that's what they're trying to figure out. But we know, we know that there was at the very least that, and you could claim it's a consultancy and there would be no illegality to it. But it's also interesting what he said right there, and

I'm gonna play it again because arguably it's goal post moved again. Remember knew nothing about it, did nothing, talked about the weather. We got to talk about the weather. And now we have a new fresh narrative on him not being quote financially involved. And I think some people would disingenuously argue that well, paying him doesn't mean financial involvement, only if he invested money,

which I argue will be the next goal post. But listen, again, there's no evidence to support the allegations that my father was financially involved in my business because it did not happen. James Comer, Jim Jordan, Jason Smith and their colleagues have distorted the facts by cherry picking lines from a bank statement, manipulating text I sent editing the test the modium of my friends and former

business partners. He's referring to Bobolinsky, and uh, Ross, you watched that whole Bobolinski interview, right, because you had to pull the audio, and it was fascinating. I watched that whole thing. I don't think anything was ed. I mean it was edited in the sense that you edit a show, but the interview itself there was no point where they were talking about some and they didn't come back to it, which is how I kind of

try to recognize editing. The Bobolinsky stuff was fascinating during the election, right. That was with the Tucker Carlson at the time, right, and everybody was like, oh, well, it's uh. They automatically debunked it because it was Tucker Carlson and because Biden's had said it was all a political nonsense. It was like, oh, well, this Bobolinsky guy has to be full of crap, right, But Jim, they selectively edin no, no,

so dumb and misstating personal information that was stolen from me. It wasn't stolen. You abandoned it. I mean, just right off the bat. Honestly, if I was, if I was consulting this dude, I'd have told him not to mention that. Why because once something clicks is patently dishonest. People don't believe the other stuff. You're saying nothing was stolen from you. You abandon it because you were a crack addict. That part's true. And again, that's not even my beef with you, dude. I've had

I've dealt with family members with wholesale of drug addictions. I've had friends, and it's it's awful and I wouldn't wish it upon anybody. But when you're when you're in that state, you also do some of the most incredibly stupid stuff. Look, why do you think we have Florida band stories? How

many of those are connected to people who are quite obviously addicts. That woman yesterday driving the seven mile bridge through a marathon in Florida, in the marathon Florida, which I guess is an appropriate place to hold a marathon at one hundred miles an hour, wedding herself singing gospel tunes. You think that woman's not on something? Come on, man, to quote the Bidens, there

is no fairness or decency and what these Republicans are doing right right? Remember how you're making fun of Trump's kid over on day one, trying to figure out what level of autism he's suffered from, and even alleging that maybe his behavior wasn't that, but was because Trump. I watched a little snippet on on YouTube yesterday and it included from election night twenty sixteen, the young Turks, those idiots, and they're like, wow, he got elected, but

he's going to be convicted of raping a child. Remember that whole narrative where they put out this false he raped a child, which is, by the way, is deeply ironic considering who we now know we're dealing with with all of this Epstein stuff, but up in Washington, so you know, don't give me that garbage. So he did that, what is it? I don't know the answer to that. He's sending me Draymond Green funfacts if you didn't see it, Yeah, he punched who was it was Jack Joe Sick

or I can't remember who he punched. It's pretty bad on the court, acting like he was just I'm just trying to flare my arms. Yeah, he's suspended indefinitely. But no, I mean, like, we're sitting here watching this and he shows up, he does his presser, and he leaves. Now the question will become what are Republicans gonna do about it? And sadly, I think the answers h nothing. I don't think they're gonna do anything. I think you're gonna go, oh, look, it's Christmas.

Oh ironically, you know, there are people who have thoughts on what should be done, one of which, by the way, is Joe Biden himself. For that, you have to actually head into the White House and the White House Press briefing, which we will get into coming up here on the CaCO Day radio program Smart Talk All Day nine w PTI in the Triad and one six one FM talking in the Triangle. All right, well, I didn't need to see this, but uh, apparently they're doing They've decided to.

Hey, but you know what this is actually in sticking with what they said they were gonna do. Don't By the way, we're gonna get into the White House Press conference stuff at seven o five because I need more than three minutes because there's lots of audio. But this is sticking with what we heard from Disney where they're like, why are we making any money off Marvel's What if we went back and just went back with the original characters everyone likes.

So I'm not surprised they're doing a fifth Thor. I'm just disappointed because I feel like they killed that franchise. I mean, it's crazy, like the evolution that happened with Thor, right, because like in my opinion, Thor Okay, second, like Ragnarok is one of my favorite Marvel movies. It is a good one. And the drop off from Ragnarok to Love and Thunder Yes with the same director Tahiti Wahiti or whatever his name is, a drink Tahiti Wahiti. It was what just happened, and he did it on

purpose. He even said that, you know previously, like he's going to despoil your mists and this and that he made it despite people, and you can tell it is garbage. That movie is absolute garbage. Can't disagree. Do you remember what a big deal it was when Captain America Steve Rogers and the Avengers Moody and what was it an end gamer in Finney War when when he could yield Thor's hammer. Hold On, hold on, hold on.

It was a big deal when Thor could lift Thor's hammer, right, because it was about worthiness right when he regained it in the first movie, Like I can't remember that that scene in that movie. The theater erupted when Steve Rodgers could wield that that hamm. Yes, right, and even and even Thor's like, I knew it, right, I knew you were worthy. And your captain America, the stuff you have seen, you have proven yourself.

However, and then the last Ahiti Wahiti movie you have this like little girl, you thought Ray wielding a lightsaber with no training was was bad, right, right, So this girl's like queen bit place like just like it, like it's nothing, And Thor's like, yeah, you know, I want you to have that to the movie. Missed I missed it. Yeah,

she's So they're saying this this time around. They're saying the new Thor movie, it's gonna back to basics and like be you know, a more serious movie, and Thor is going to be like the main protagonist, we hope, And there's six dwarves in it. I don't know there aren't now, are they? Like Peter like y Ming Dwarfs, which we all they all, yeah, that's crazy. He still has his acts, his his king acts or whatever that thing is. It is pretty made him. Yeah,

I have a tradition. I would prefer just Thor to have the hammer. Yeah, but that thing when he landed in Wakanda with that thing, I was pretty bad ass and endgame souse then you know it was Infinity. Yeah, but yeah, they're gonna do that again. All right, Ross as a purist, we'll see, maybe they've learned their lessons. Good morning and welcome. It is seven oh six here on the Cacoday Radio program day for my voice experiment. Boy, I feel a thousand times better today though,

so that rocks. But I wish I had the voice to match it. And I think it's because we got so much good stuff to get to. I was just looking at this and I was chatting with Ross off the air man. The Biden administration is bleeding musk. And this isn't an argument

over subsidies, you know how I feel about that. But if you're gonna do them, and you start carving out individual companies that have long been a part of it, and it's just one thing then maybe, And it started with the subsidy for electric vehicles, which is seventy five hundred dollars, and they thought, it Tesla, that that was going to get trimmed to thirty seven fifty. But a change in battery not where the stuff in the batteries

from. This is how nuanced. This is so previous. For those of you who don't know rare earth metals, which are a necessity for building an electric vehicle, the primary producer on the planet is China, okay, and it's not even close. And so when Tesla started building their vehicles, obviously they were ahead. You're right, because remember it was Tesla, it was

Prius, and it was Leif those are the big kind of three. But Tesla was, you know, really at the forefront of this because the rare earth metals are there and it's more financially conducive to then manufacturing batteries there. They still manufacture batteries for at least two of the models in China because they have all the infrastructure there. Now, again this is you can agree or

disagree with the business model, you can agree or disagree with subsidies. However they did so if not if the stuff comes from China, but if the physical end manufacturing takes place in China, you're not eligible for the subsidy anymore. That's a change they made. So that is going to Tesla, required Tesla to you know, tack on seventy five hundred or lose out on profit

and probably a combination of both. Well, that was number one. Number two, we found out yesterday that the FCC let me just read this story. It was revealed Tuesday that the FCC would not give starlink. All right, so this is the satellite internet thing that Musk has nearly nine hundred million in subsidies to expand internet service across Rule America, claiming that it's failed to demonstrate that one it could deliver and two that it is viable technology, so

they're going to cut that off. And then you had these regulatory investigations. Remember they're investigating Musk out of his rocket factory for not hiring people in the country who are not citizens, even though that would not fly for any company producing anything that is considered a weapon, and if you manufacture rockets, that's considered a weapon for obvious reasons. So regulatory harassment over and over. But also these are the same people who are claiming, well, starlink style,

we don't know that that works. Weren't they ready to crucify Musk over the fact that when Ukraine wanted to use the starlink service, he was giving them for free, giving them for free in an offensive capability. He said, no, you can't do it. The deal is you can use it for defensive you know, and then non military applications. Remember how they lost their damn minds about how that was going to be the end of Ukraine. So

it seemed like they had quite a bit of confidence in the technology. And ask any well, I guess, ask ask anyone who owns a yacht okay, or anyone who requires internet service on the seas right, so you know, shippy container companies, any of that, Ask them how they get internet on their ships. Starlink. Yeah, ask people in rural Wyoming and Montana how they get internet to some of the most rural areas. Paradise guest Ranch

should be a good example that I know of starlink. Baby, So this unproven tech idology which is already utilized, it all across the world, being utilized in very rule environments or you know, obviously in the in the in these marine environments. Now all of a sudden, they're like, yeah, we don't know about technology. So some would say, when you cobble that all together, it sounds like it sounds like this administration is singling out one

individual and uh, you know, going going at his throat. That would that's how I would say it. In fact, one of the commissioners, who's not the Biden appointees, US Brendan Carr, protested the decision accuse the agency of quote joining a growing list of federal agencies engaging in the regulatory harassment of Elon Musk. And he's not wrong. This is what happens, man, This is what happens when you screw with the powers to be. They'll

break you. You call you call it illuminati or big government, or just be for whatever. But the fact remains that each and every one of those actions simultaneously belies their own opinions on the very same products just a short time ago. Also, Ross, did you hear Elon Musk is starting a university, by the way, did you He's he's starting a university in Texas, and they expect that federal regulators will get up in his business. There,

but it'll be a university that just does STEM. Yeah. I saw certain people comparing it on x to Trump University. They know it's going to be Literally, he'll build out a campus that'll make the University of Texas feel feel ashamed. Man, he wants to do a STEM university because he recognizes that

those graduates are core to his his business interests. And, believe it or not, some a lot of very very rich people throughout the history of the world, but especially here in the United States, in fact founded universities.

A lot of people that today, if you bring up their name, the more woke will recoil in disgust because obviously they had the values of the era in which they grew up in, but they failed to recognize that likely the wokest among them might have been educated at the very university those people started.

So ah, it's just so dumb. By the way, University of North Carolina, you should probably you should probably check the math on when that was founded and who was founded by because there might be some slave owners in there. University of Virginia, what was that Jefferson and founded that? Right, So good luck with all that. But yeah, the whole thing is just a dumpster fire. All right, Before I get to the I promise to play the audio from Jean Pierre and the reporters. I'll do that momentarily.

Let me grab a callee jam All what something? Hey, Kasey, I'll be ready. But the provided administration turning the government fully on her enemy? Yeah yeah, Joe, Yeah, who would think bynt your Biden knows nobody is going to hold him responsible. For the last past six years, he has been runnering around America doing what he wants to whom he wants, how

he wants, and nobody's held him accountable, the Democrat Party. And yesterday it was a simple question asked the Rambison, the guy who led the first impeachment of President Trump, a Democrat, Robert Rambison. He adds that a lady ask him, isn't this hippocritical? You literally put Steve Bennon in contempt the Congress, but you're not doing it for him. Well, Steve ben how you could tell he was reaching, but he knows nobody is going to

hold him untownable. Not that the Republicans help, you know. Now we've got our ways of you know, Twitter rumble, you know, we're able to get some stuff out. We don't. We don't know Jamal. We don't have to go there. The Republicans control the house hold him, hold him in contempt. Look at Lee. Look, you gotta make the You gotta make the recommendation of the DJ. And I understand that that may be a feudal effort, but you don't have a set of stones if you don't

do it. Well, here's my thing. In two thousand and we're going back a little bit. Two thousand and eleven, Eric Holder was held. They could attempt, they voted for him. What did the DJ do? But Eric Holder? Absolutely nothing right? So put it on the d Put it on the d J, is what I'm saying. And do you think Republicans will do that? No? I don't. You want to tell you why. I won't tell why. I don't Republicans are doing anything because every time case we got victory. And it's a t rex. Imagine a big

t rex. Sure he got hold on. What is this? What does the t rex say? The t rex has is the t rex name is victory? And he goes h and he got he has defeat in his jaws. Okay, he's about the swallows. Republicans will three t rex to save defeat from his jaws. We won't pull their feet out of Victory's jaws. Okay, that's what we do. We screwed up. We dropped the ball consistently. So am I do I think we gonna sit there and hold him

in contempt? You know what? I'm so sorry Case. I got to go by what we do and the answer is no, because somebody's gonna get You know, when you heard yesterday Margo Republicist, male Republicists, and you know what does the heffles on a few gonna say them Big cal helf was gonna say, it's the mag Republicans. He just loves his son. Oh you talk about his son who's still smoking coke? Smith and Kotain a deep body, white gus, underage girls. He literally has videos to help with

underage girls. And nobody is compared him to Jeffrey Upstein. Nobody's comparing him to R. Kelly. He just sorry, did you did you hold the appetite? Did you not? Did you hear my interview with Senator Bud I don't know that they care up there about any of the Epstein stuff, man, but I'm want to go back to your better idea, just because I'm a little short on time. So okay, so we we release a t Rex into the Congressional building. Is that what you're at because I would watch

that. I think that solution for everything going on. Man, just put it in their ce raisers. The t rex is saying victory. You know what, you can wear a custom hat. I don't care. Just stick it in there, all right, I got Jamal, I got a roll man, but thank you. Right Ross, you're watching t Rex loose of the Capitol. I am, oh, I'm watching. I'm watching it. Get it? You get it? A hat like you women like to do for your small dogs to be great, a little sweater. But yeah,

just boom and it goes. Can that be considered a threat because there's no t rexes? I don't know. I guess we'll find out, all right. We flip over to this. So the the hunter Biden insanity then made its way into the White House Press briefing. We'll start with Steve Doocey, and you could tell that Jean Pierre is not having any of this. He said that President was familiar with what his son was gonna say on Capitol Hill. If I called my dad and said I am about to violate a congressional

subpoena, you'd probably say, Son, you shouldn't do that. Was there any attempt by President Biden to talk Hunter out of it today? All right? And I just wanted to before she gives her dumb answer, I want you to pay attention to how dismissive she is of the idea that Hunter Biden may have consulted with his father on this issue, which seems a thousand percent logical. I might point out that he had a conversation with his dad.

Everyone would believe that he's in contact with his father. Listen to her retort, you call your dad, Steve, oh dad usually. Look, I don't have anything else to add. The President was familiar with what Hunter was going to say today. And now, look, he's proud of his son. He and the first leader out of his son. How he's rebuilding his life back. He's going to focus on what is needed on the American people. Hunter. And I've said this many times as a private citizen, and

so certainly I would have to refer you to to his representative. I'm just not going to get into private conversations, because what you're asking me is actually a private conversation. I'm just not going to great first briefing. Since Hunter was indicted again in Los Angeles, Why does in president five just pardon him? President? I've been very clear the President's not going to partner, all right, So and then, by the way, keep that receipt right,

not going to pardon this? I don't know. And again, this is not just you hear how she's mocking me, like, oh, are you going to call your daddy? This is a lot more than that. And hey, other reporters actually asked the same questions kind of your's from the Daily Mail. The President was familiar with what his son was going to say today. Was the president vote in drafting it, discussing it? Did he go for advice? I don't have anything else to add. He was familiar.

I don't have anything else to add. Okay, But here's the meat of this, and that is this statement made by Joe Biden in twenty twenty one, when of course it was you know, Bannon and other Republicans too, but primarily focused on that he subvide congressional subpinas on the JA. Do you have a message to people who defy congressional subpoenas. Hard to hear people svide congressional subpoenas on the January sixth committee. I hope that the committee goes after

him on the whole him accountable. Do they be prosecuted by argues? All right, that same thing put to Jean Pierre. Here we go, okay, and you asked what the president what it styles was on people who defy comgression of subpoenas. In twenty twenty one, he was asked that question specifically and said that he believed the Justice Department should prosecute them. Is that still

his position for people? We don't have anything to add to what you have just quoted me from the President. I just don't have an eating at right, right, And she knows full well that it's it exists out there. So yeah, exactly what you would expect. Sticky with the narrative. Father loves his son, that's all this is about. Never bring up money. But again the new bar he was never financially involved, and uh not all

the media got that message. I'll explain coming up. Hang on your day Smarter one O six one FM Talk and News Talk ninety four PTI more with Casey starts. Now. I am I am shocked that parents in Clay County are upset over But this idiot did, all right, look, we all know, and I maybe maybe it's different. This happened in Florida, by the way, because of course it did. Uh maybe we're all I thought it was Pennsylvania, but it's Florida, Clay County, Florida. Uh,

how do I say this? I know that at least it was my experience when I was in school that the days leading up to Christmas break and the days leading up to the last day of the year are not a learning rich environment. And I don't necessarily blame the teachers for that or the schools for that. Kids got eyes on the prize. Man, you do what you can. And also you're getting into times, especially around the holidays, where you may have more vacancies. Then you got to play catch up and fine.

And so this teacher in Clay County decided that they were going to show some movies and I don't know what the teaching alongside it was, but just wait for it. And in an effort not to discriminate based on the fact that people have different holidays, that they observe Hanikka Christmas some Kwansa. They decided that the teacher decided that she would cover I think it's a she. Well, I gonna check the language in here. Yeah, they refer to

as as she. They would she would cover the bases. So I don't know exactly what Christmas movie was shown, or Kwansa or any of that for that matter, but we do know about one movie for no reason that I can understand. And these are elementary age kids, right elementary. The teacher also showed them Crampis. Do you all know what Crampis is? So Crampis

is. Crampis is a holiday demon and it's not just you know, some horror movie as of late, although they did do one a number of years ago and I've watched it and that's the one that was shown, and it's dark. I mean, it's a slasher horror demon flick. It's not for kids, not for kids at all. But there is Germanic lore surrounding Crampis

and basically it was yet another way to make kids behave. However, when you put it to screen and you show out all the actual non bay, what happens to the non behaviors that's going to terrify some elementary kids, and as you can imagine, parents were very upset. The school's response was, it was not in a regular classroom, it was in a music class I don't know that that matters really because you're still elementary kids. Were you wading

was there music in the movie? And then there was music in there? Like, I guess maybe I can get there where you're trying to incorporate it in there. But how in God's name you decide to put on a slash a demon slasher horror movie for elementary kids is beyond me. The lesson plan, which was dubbed Holidays around the World, all right, they said that

she didn't show the whole movie. She showed a portion of the movie, and that's I literally they said, well, the movie was not shown, but a portion of a of it was, and a YouTube clip doesn't matter. I watched that movie. I wouldn't say it's a great horror flick, but it's definitely not for kids, elementary kids anyway. Yeah, I understand why parents are po't on that. Man, what are you doing? What are you doing all right? Coming up on the show. Well, actually

no, I just looked. I was misreading my clock. Here, we'll do it now. To quote Bill O'Reilly kind of a few more f words in there. I this is my bad. I wish I'd had seen this story prior to my interview with Senator Bud But you can bet I will definitely

be inquiring about this. So if you don't know, PISA is up, and after all of the abuse that we saw with PISA, everything that was going on with you know, double sourcing, singular Yahoo articles they're largely probably based on governmental leaks anyway, and then still being allowed to have secret courts

that issue these these rents to go out and spy on Americans. I think a lot of people realize that FISA is fundamentally broken and has largely lived up to some of the more dire predictions that were put out at the time of its passing. Well, it expires December thirty first and has to be renewed. However, they are calling it a reformation of PISA. Okay, all right, So people have been digging into this this week. Here's the deal. All the stuff that FAISA was before is still there. They just want

to add some stuff, so they're changing. None of the things that were visibly broken. And now they want to add a new section to FIZA, making it over three thousand pages. By the way, and this was a bill, or a portion of a bill that if you go back to, you know, under the Bush administration and the Patriot Act was not even in

one hundred pages. It's three thousand now. But the most well, the creepiest portion of this and and by the way, it looks like right now it'll pass easily even though Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House, Mike Johnson, the Speaker of the House is Jonson, get right back to the page there we go. Yes, that one has said that, oh no, we're we're willing to allow a debate. Now it looks like they're not going to. So here's what the new portion of FISA would do. Uh.

House Intelligence Bill expands the definition of electronic communication service provider. All right, So if they want to go get data from an electronic communications service provider, they're talking about AT and T or Boost or T Mobile or you know

whatever internet providers comcasts things like that. However, in the new expansive definition that would also include any quote, business, landlord, shared workspace, or hotels that connect to the Internet. So basically anywhere that you connect to the Internet, your coffee shop, a hotel, you travel to, you know, any of the how many of you probably have a dozen saved passwords or

connection points in your phone right now. I don't look some people don't, do, you know, wireless in public spaces, and good for you. I do. I just don't do weird stuff. But yeah, all of those quote business landlords that provide communications services would now be akin to a Internet service provider, a phone company, any of the others. Hotels, libraries, coffee shops, any a place that offers Wi Fi to their customers could

be forced to serve as surrogate spies. According to Elizabeth Gouyton, who is quote in this article former Justice Department lawyer, and what makes it more odorous. If you're a business owner out there and you provide Wi fi is, you'll probably, depending on your system, you may have to reconfigure your system. So that's a cost to you. And if you're not in compliance with that, you could find yourself penalized should FAIZA come around requesting records or demanding

would be a better word. The bill would also cover any repairman who works on that type of equipment. So even if you hire somebody to come into your home, they themselves could be tasked under FAIZA to aid in the provision of this information if they want to get a hold of your internet records. Now, some people sit there and go, well, look, they already can go after your home records by going to whoever provides your stuff. Yeah, which is also one of the reasons that people who may want to remain

private occasionally do things not on their home network. Why not necessarily because they're criminals, because it's none of your damn business. So yeah, we'll see. But right now it looks like just the committee itself passed thirty five to two on this thing, so it's not hopeful anyway. Seven forty six raced Agic from the Weather Channel. He's hanging out here on our Thursday. Man, what a snoozer that game is going to be tonight, don't care chargers

rados charge, Yeah, got a dog in that fight? Probably not. Yeah, I'll stick with like Rudolph or Santa Claus is coming to town or something like that. Dude, somebody sent me speaking of football games, somebody saw me. You know what, i I'm gonna say this. I didn't independently verify it, but I've got it from a couple different people. All

Right, somebody sent me a page. I think it must be a secondary reseller of football tickets for the Panthers Falcons game this weekend, and tickets started forty five cents, I'm assuming before all the taxes and fees, so that'll probably there'll probably be a thirty dollars ticket then, but yeah, like I see like twelve dollars here looking at one of the sites. Oh, that's probably true, then, yeah, because it's just an algorithm that's going to

price those nosebleeds anyway based on other ticket sales. So yeah, throw heavy rain on top of that, there might not be anybody. There might not be anybody there because that's where we're going tonight. Gosh, that's ugly. But a few games affected by rain, not only Atlanta at Panthers on Sunday, potentially into New England. It's all one o'clock kickoff, So Chiefs Patriots, they might be good. But how about Baltimore Jacksonville. They may be

in some of the heart of the heaviest rain on Sunday night. That's a pretty big matchup on Sunday that may have impacts. Yeah, it looks like a lot of it's probably gonna start pulling away, but you know during the day here, it's going to be raining hard on Sunday. Same thing in Charlotte for the Panthers game. And Sunday is going to be a day where I'll make the reference just drop back fifteen and punt. I mean, there's nothing outside that you're going to even want to do. If you want to

try to brave it out at the game, go ahead. But until then, the weather leading up to actually pretty decent. Little Chili today will struggle to get to fifty the mid upper fifties for Friday and Saturday. So Saturday is dry, it's not till late Saturday night and Sunday the rain comes in, might have some gusty winds. There could be a thunderstorm element to it,

and there could be a strong wind element to this storm too. It's really going to sound and have a feel like a tropical system with wind and

rain and thunder, but it won't be a name system. And then it'll taper off the showers Monday and a chance of showers Tuesday, and we'll cool off a little bit, but temperatures will still stay above fifty degrees into the middle of next week and beyond where we'll have another probably week next week where we won't have any precipitation and it may not see precipitation come back till after the Christmas holiday. So big rain event, multi ble inches of rain are

possible. There could be flooding also Sunday, and then we get back into some showers Monday, and then another five to seven days with no precipitation. So I'd say be prepared. Now. Looks like it's gonna be pretty nasty out on Sunday. Can I get a specific forecast? Can I ask you? Uh? Orchard Park three twenty five Sunday afternoon, three twenty five Sunday afternoon. Yeah, you know what I mean by Orchard Park obviously, yes, yes, it's eastern right, Yeah, it probably cuaks some clouds.

I think at some point there'll be some rain coming in at the end of the game. Those bills, see weapon, they need to know. Man. Yeah, No, there's not gonna be any snow. There's gonna be a warm system, maybe a little breezy too. So Ross, here's what you do. Go to Canada with some dump trucks, get all the snow right and then just right I'd be like, oh man, look what happened? Lake effect? Call it lake effect. They love that term. Bill's

thirty five Cowboys seventeen. Okay, all right, Wow, that's aggressive. That's aggressive? Did you gay? Is that you? Or does somebody make that prediction? Just me? Oh well all right? And you know what ross is psychic? We have proven it on that and I definitely won't be here Monday if it's totally wrong. So are you merry Christmas? Yeah? All right, all right, we'll talk in an hour. Things. Oh yeah, that vacation, could I mean, did the NFL consult on the

schedule? Ing? Yes, guys. The best part about vacation is I don't have to worry about coming in Monday if we lose. Yeah, it's like three weeks in a row. It's great. We got to play the bangles. I don't even know who the hell knows, but all right, AnyWho it is seven fifty one hang on, key thing you connected? This is ninety four five w PTI and the Triad and Talk and the Triangle. All right, seven fifty five PCODA Radio program. Yeah, I'd love to

strike that deal with your bro, but I didn't. So you weren't aware of what's going on with our quarterback situation, are you? Oh? I had no idea. Ross was just trying to He's like, if you guys beat the Bengals, and I should say it's Saturday because Vikings are one of the three Saturdays, it's a deal I'll try to pull off for you. Or if you beat the Bengals, yes, yes, yeah, we will defeat the Cowboys. But if you can't pull it off, I can't guarantee

anything a Sunday. We scored three against the race, but I like, I'm saying, you have a pastor not who is benched. They benched Dobby. They benched Dobby. He's uh, he is the bag. They moved him to back up for comedy. First they were like, oh, he's tenson up. But then it became pretty clear that they put our younger dude, Nick Mullins in there because Dobby was just not getting it done. Not that Mullins did, but I mean they did score the three with Mullins,

and they announced, yesyesterday that Mullins will be the starter on Saturday. So yeah, yeah, the past or not's not in there, so so you pack up, backup, going against the Bengals. Backup. He maybe he's the next rock Party, except we've seen him play and he's not. I yes, yes, yes, against the Bengals. Back up. I don't even know who the Bengals. Who is the Bengals starting quarterback? I don't even know who the hell it is. But yeah, that's what that's where

we're at. So I would and we're both seven and six teams, by the way, but Jefferson is playing, so that's good. We'll do our best. That's all I can That's all I can promise. Now, what happens if we do beat him and then you don't beat the Cowboys, you're just assuming I'll forget by January exactly. Okay, that's probably fair, all right, real quick, tim, I got about a minute, go ahead,

Yes, sir, I just wanted to. I don't know if anybody mentioned it at Johnson Turley, who was a George washing Ten Law School professor defendant who was it removed from office, and the brides that he received was a sent to his family just because there's no diffrect payment legally means that's not

being anything. No no, no, no, no. I'm saying that the the the consultancy or what looks to be fifteen dollars is easily explainable as a consultancy fee, and the eye on the prize is the bigger payments. I totally agree with you. It doesn't matter if it's going to the Sun or the or the brother, if it's Bill turned back or he's benefiting in any way. You and Turley are absolutely right, and that's what Republicans have to prove. That's what they got to prove. It's not about the crackheadedness,

it's the money. All right, Good morning everybody, and'll welcome. It is our number three g c O Day radio program, Happy Thursday, Happy, one hour to go Today, three hour tomorrow. Yip yip yip yep. I'm only saying it down more often because, like a dude, is really annoyed every time we mentioned it. So that's for you, buddy. I'm sorry that you're mad that we're happy. AnyWho. All right,

a few things going on. I want to before the end of the show today, I want to get our friend Sam Page, Rockingham County Sheriff, to call into the show so I know I know that there are quite a few of you who listened to the show who are associated with Sam Worrek at the Sheriff's Department Deputies, a very nice woman who works inside the department. I can't remember what she does, but I remember talking to her and I got to know because there is a there is a bit of gossip here.

And don't worry if you're not the Triad or Rockingham County, this could affect you because Sam Page, who we've chatted with a lot, kind of a no nonsense guy. You know, he's running for lieutenant governor. But it's not about that. No, no, no, no no. So here's what happened. A poll came out and it was not a poll. Well, I guess a poll did come out about lieutenant governor's race. Sam did not do great in it and actually told News and Observer that he is what

was the quote I'm looking at I'm considering my options something like that. You know, I'm pretty standard. That's what he told News and Observer. But that's not the poll I'm talking about. No, no, no, a different poll. And it's not one hundred percent clear who all's behind this thing, but there are there are we have some clues and in that poll, it showed that Sam Page if he were to run for the Senate seat occupied by the head of the Senate, Phil Berger. Right, uh, you

know, one of the two people that basically runs North Carolina. It's true governor doesn't do crap man, it's a veto proof majority on stuff. Those are the Phil Berger and Tim Moore, the two most powerful people, and arguably I think they like it that way. They're probably happy to have a democratic governor blamed ductor democratic governor because they don't even have to pay party politic, you know, oblige anything that a Republican governor might want. I don't

know that for a fact. I'm just saying that that's the situation they're in. But Bill Berger, who has served for twenty years, twenty years, I think, irritated some folks over that casino stuff, as evidence by hundreds who gathered there as part of a meeting in Rockingham County. And so the idea that he could be unseated by a primary challenger, and likely Page would

just slide right in because that district is R plus a billion. Okay, maybe it's not that much, but you get the it's it's a red district. And I think for the most part, if you're not a meth head, pages either liked or not hated. I don't know. Some people have beef with law enforcement. But yeah, that's pretty entice. So you know, the idea, and there's nothing indicating that he's going to move from one race to the other. But the idea that that comes out that opportunity may

be out there, I think is probably pretty intriguing. So I want to talk to Sam Page. So one of you, I one of you at some point this morning, uh is going to be around him. I'm gonna have Ross call him, but you should be like, hey, you should call Casey. Oh and then Ross reached out too. But just bugging is here. Bugging is here because I I want to get to the bottom of

this. The polster was unnamed in a memo released on the pole. The group, who identifies as the North Carolina Conservative Project is not a registered group, which I find interesting because I don't know that they have to be to do polling, right, you have to you have to be registered to do a poll, but uh, you know, people don't know who you are. They're going to be somewhat I think dismiss him in some cases as the poll. But it's not a hard leap that people are still mad about the

casino thing. If you saw the turnout up there in Rockingham County. And then I saw one of Burger's guys, one of his acquaintances, intimating that, like you know that there may be legal action out of what are you talking about? Now here's where it gets more interesting. So one of the people involved, according to Axios's article here in an effort, is a guy by the name of Patrick Sebastian. And that's according to Philberger's son, who

is a Supreme Court Justice, Philberger Junior. Sebastian was a quote consultant for Burger Junior, but Burger Junior says he fired him. Sebastian says he wasn't fired. He was brought in for a fundraiser. He did his job and so then it was done. There was nothing to fire him from. And Bastian is the nephew of Pat McCrory. I told you, man, they're like, they're like ten people who do everything, like ten families that run this whole state. So I don't know, Yeah, I'm gonna go old

maid and kind of dig into this gossip man. I think it's interesting. See in my conversation with Sebastian, he confirmed that he was involved in the effort. This is a Burger Junior. He was confirmed he was involved in an effort that he should have told me about weeks ago that he was working under a confidentiality agreement. Do you mean the agreement or do you mean he should have told you that he was trying to primary your dad, because I

don't know that he should have. And by the way, I don't got beef with Burger Junior, or really I mean Burger only in the sense that I wish there's things they would do, and I think the Medicaid DI spansion was an active cowardice, But I don't have personal beef with them. Sebastian declined to comment on his involvement and not say whether he was the polster,

though he is a partner in a polling firm. So, yeah, lots of little juicy nuggets there, and you know something will come to a head because there is a deadline fast approaching to get everybody you know filed for whatever office they're running for. So the idea that the two leaders in North Carolina politics and really the leadership of the state. The two the potential that both

of them could be gone next year. That's interesting because you know, Tim Moore is leaving, but Burger, as far as everyone knew, was sticking around. Now who knows, Maybe it's all bs. I don't know, but that would that would make things very very interesting. Yeah, Tim Moore, Tim Moore already announced, and they've already hand selected, uh you know, who's who's going to be the guy to uh replace him from a leadership standpoint. But you know, if you have both Burger and more out,

I, you know, I could fundamentally change things. Deston Hall, by the way, who is likely likely to move into a that leadership. I I met him once. I actually I was at the Capitol Grille and who

was who was the lawmaker? Oh it was Jason Sane, who who listens to the shows sometimes and I and I went over to say hello to Jason, or Jason came over to say hello to me, and he said, hey, come on back, and that that's I met Deston Hall one time because he was sitting at a table back for all they were but I don't have a read. We didn't talk about politics, and then I didn't even

eat or anything. I just had a drink and left. But yeah, so but no, it could be could be very interesting if that happens. So, yes, I want to talk to Sam Page, so I'm dispatching any of our minions in Rockingham County that work in the Sheriff's department there. Let him know, and Ross texted him too, so I'm sure he's aware. He probably don't want to talk about it, but come on, man,

let's have a little conversation. You could play koy. It's okay because I think that there are a lot of people, not just in Rockingham County who are you know, looked at things like the Medicaid expansion and some other stuff and maybe feel that it's time for a change. But the flip side of that is more and Burgers seem to have these plates spinning man and have

been able to accomplish pretty much whatever they wanted. That's why it's all lawsuit city over everything, because the actual route of going through the legislature is not something that Democrats are successful with. They can't even keep their party together with people leaving. So yeah, yeah, little little something something going on there. I thought it was interesting, all right, well, hopefully calls. For the end of the show, we'll take a break. We got cow

news. It's so horrible. It's horrible, but it does raise questions and much more coming up. Casey O Day Radio program that show. After the show, he's on the iHeart Radio app. Search case O Day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All right, good morning, it is eight darn near eight twenty two, creeping up on that. Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy. All right. I got a few things going on, not the least of which is I'm telling you man, if I if I I only had a Swami hat because boil boy, could I have

told you where this was going. So if you remember, one of the one of the things early on in the Biden administration that they talked about increasing is compassionate release, which is pretty prominent in many, many, many countries. We do some of it here but not to the same extent. But in reality, what it really seemed to be focused on is compassionate release of federal prisoners. But typically they were prisoners who were not cis, white males,

if you get the gist. But you know, pretty standard. Hey, here's a little something I can do, and remember the dam broke when Obama started doing this and they released Remember they released thousands of prisoners, all right, So among those and we were told they were not releasing Island prisoners. Right. Well, one of the people who was released last year is a guy by the name of Markham David Bond, who had received a sentence

of forty six years in federal prison. Why because from nineteen eighty five to nineteen ninety five he was a bank robin armor car robin maniac and he did dozens and dozens of robberies, got away with a whole crap ton of money before eventually getting nabbed in ninety five, getting the forty six year sentence, and after serving twenty six years, somehow was pushed into this compassionate release.

He's sixty now and in the testimony provided at the time of the release, because he had to go to the committee and explain why he does not appear to have any sort of illness, just that he is quote, he's sixty now, and you know he's not as spry as he used to be, and he should be released, and so what do you think. Of course they did, Yeah, absolutely, yeah, granted early release. He again not terminally ill, argued quote that he is sixties and he's turning sixty,

is in fragile health and no longer a danger to community. All right. So that's so it was last year they made the argument, and this year they granted him early release. Because it's government. Everything takes time. So what do you think the first thing he decided to do when they released him from prison? He got out and he volunteered at a soup kitchen. A right, turned his life around, wants to give back? Yeah, so he robbed an armor, Oh yeah, and he donated the money to his

soup kitchen. Right, Well, I don't think so. According to the folks who arrested him, this is in LA because that's where you go to rob banks. According to UH officials, they found nine thousand dollars, which was roughly what he got, which I think they're more than an armored car. I guess he robbed the courier in the car and that's what he got, UH stuffed into a mini fridge, right, and the mini fridge though, that was why do you want to do sup kitchen for the children?

It was his girlfriend's apartment and it was not alone. Was there soup in the apartment. Was it in a kitchen in the middi fridge? Why would you have soup? No, there was a forty caliber block shape. Yeah, that is I mean nothing. He's a pale rider. Right, he's a preacher. You're going to be a preacher and have a gun. He's not a preacher. He's a bank robber and not a very good one. Apparently he's off his game. It looks like he was unfamili with the tech

of the day two, which is how he got caught. Yeah, things have changed, buddy, It gets out, It gets out. He did. He didn't just do one thing. He at gunpoint rob banks and armored cars for ten years, completely rehabilitated. Absolutely. You think he did on purpose to go back with it like a shawshank redemption. You know, Brooks. You know what though it's called the turn, was the tur I learned this tour, it's called jailing right where you get this mental thing going on

where you crave the order and you fear the outside. And that's what was demonstrated with Brooks. It's Brooks, I don't think so, because he actively was trying not to get caught. He's just stupid. He should well I shouldn't say stupid. He got away with it for ten years. He's just bad at it now. You know what he's like. You know, he's like that quarterback who's been out of the league for five years who's like, I'll come I'll come back and do that. You just you don't have it

anymore, buddy. It's okay, it's okay to admit that now. He allegedly held the driver at gunpoint as one of the employees got out of the armored truck with a blue Duffel bag filled with the cash. That's so, that's where he's got the nine thousand and the brinch guard dropped the bag and then basically both of them fled the area. They weren't He wasn't able to

get into the truck, but he got the bag. Um. The problem was is he, I guess didn't realize that they have cameras and stuff on trucks now, uh, pretty high quality stuff because oh he's a Raiders fan, because he's got a Raiders hat on. So there you go. There's that as well. But yeah, forty caliber pistol, nine K in cash and he'll be arrained next week. But they're holding him on zero bail in LA, which is actually kind of impressive to not have bail there. So

uh wah, that didn't work out. I for one am shocked, absolutely shocked, all right, And Roz I scanned the whole article and I controlled f and there's no mention of soup anywhere. Are you craving? Super? So this is my soup does sound good? I don't know why, probably just because my brokera Anny Who. All right, we've got another half hour ago k c O Day radio program. We got to talk Lebron James. I know, I know, I know, but unfortunately it is coming up.

Thank you. Case is on ninety four w pt I on the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, nothing surprises me anymore on the Lebron James front. But if you saw it, yeah, it raised some eyre with folks. Lebron James not playing in a basketball game rather attending this happens to be the USC game, that's where his son plays basketball, and so he's the he's the proud papa going and good look, I got none of my beef that I've seen with Lebron has ever lied

with him wanting to you know, be a dad to his kids. He seems to be very actively involved, so good for him. That being said, when you stroll in, even if you're strolling in a little late, which happens right at a sporting event, and the national anthem's going, well,

how do most people handle that? They kind of start participating, right, and by participating, like if you're walking in through the tunnel, most people, once they're in there and can see the flag, will stop, even if they don't put their hand over their heart, they'll stop, and and and for the remainder of it, there you go, and not so much here with lebron as you watch him stroll in, talk to a couple of people real quick, say something to his kid, sit down courtside baby,

Yeah, front road seats, which you know he's got the cash, all right. See you get the gist of it. And so some people shockingly found that disrespectful because the entire stadium at that point and the players are standing at attention during the national end. Nobody's even taken a knee that I could see. Roster, you see anyone taking a knee? I didn't se anyone's even taking a knee. So apparently we're not doing that. No, but you do have like people like looking at Lebron like, what are you

doing? Bro? Well, they're looking at Lebron one because it's Lebron. But the other thing there's a certain part though, where like there it's obviously he's sitting down and not you know, giving a flip and people are looking at him like what yeah, yeah, what are you doing? Man? Uh? So that obviously caused people to lose their their minds when you can sit that at the very least, even if you think things are wrong,

you have to think some things are right. Considering you were able to get a billion dollars in this country, so you know that's probably a good thing. Obviously, inherent talent and his drive for basketball is going to factor into that. But this, this situation has to exist, and that situation is US and America and that's the reason people are beating their brains out to get

here. Man. Well, another athlete saw that Colby Covington MMA fighter, And if you know anything about Covington, he's kind of an outspoken guy and he is definitely a Trump fan. So yesterday was a preview press conference ahead of I guess this wee is it? Saturday. I guess it's Saturday fight. I'd have to look, my brain's all whacked because I'm just sturring at

vacation and we'll largely pay attention to other stuff. But so, as part of that press conference, he had a few thoughts on the Lebron issue. If you hate America so much and you don't like this country that gave you a billion dollars, leave it or come deal with me. You go to China, go to go to these sweat shops that you employ all these laborers and use these women and pay him pennies on the dollar to make your millions.

You the drum jams, your coward, your spineless cow in your so I don't know, I'm I'm I guess so I mean a little, a little koy. I'm not exactly sure how Covington feels on the issue, right I think he might be. Dude, raise your hand if you want to see Kobe Covington and Lebron James fight and the octagon with the gloves, with the officials. We're gonna make a sport out of this. You know, screw the boxer crossover stuff. Let's get Lebron James and Lebron James is far

larger than Colbe Covington, so he's gonna have a definitive size advantage. Obviously wingspan is uh is significantly more. So let's do this, man. I'm

down for that. The Covington's funny man because he gives zero everyone over in the MMA over and excuse me UFC seems to give zero f's, including well and that you know, some of that comes from leadership, obviously, with Dana White talking about advertisers calling and go, I don't know if you should do this, and he's like, well, I don't need your money, pound sand loser, except you said it more aggressively, so yeah, but yeah, that So that was, yeah, a rather classless move right there,

which is too bad. I mean, he was just winning hearts and minds, mostly because I hadn't seen him do anything real scummy in a while, so and I think maybe people were like, oh, well, he's get into the end of his career and all of that. But way to reignite that, man, Way to reignite that in the same way that people, by the way, do you what is it rossa that people are calling in they think today's our last day on the air. Is that what's happening?

Yeah? No, I've had so many people calling in today. Even Jamal called in. He was like, hey, you know today's your last day, right, have a merry Christmas. I'm like, no, we have like one more day. Lift. It's happened numerous time. Probably are you calling the audience a liar? I would never do that. I mean I wouldn't want to do that. You just stated you wouldn't want to do that. I feel horrible. We're gonna have to take tomorrow? Will I

feel like we have no choice? Man, Never violate the expectations of your listeners, right, remember that, I've said it on the air before. I can't believe I did this. Oh I feel awful. You know what, You're suspended for a day. Oh no, yeah, okay, see what, let me get a calendar here. Tomorrow. You're suspended tomorrow tomorrow.

And you know what, as as as as somebody who was present for this, this this crime upon the listeners, I may have to suspend myself too, right, that's only gonna have you have to Yeah, I mean accountability is important to us, so we would so yesterday tomorrow was gonna be our Christmas Palooza show. Yeah, playing Ross is there's seventy two Christmas trees in the two between the two studios. It's like walking into a thick forest. You can't even see the board. You have to feel around for the

controls. It's uh engineering. It's like the SAP's gonna get out of the boy shut up? What oh, come on Christmas? You know what. That's job security for them. Now they get to clean SAP out of all the equipment, you know what. And by the way, for the board in my studio, SAP would probably make it work better because the buttons, that's so bad. All the button lights are broken. That's true. There's like seven buttons on this board, like the cube button not to get like

two inside baseball. But when they hit it, they like they pop off the board, they just pop off. Put some SAP in there, bad. Absolutely, SAP would solve that problem. SAP is SAP is nature super glue. Man, it's amazing stuff. So there we go. Now, Honestly, you walk out of one of the studios right now, you smell like you've been drinking gin all morning. So it's good cover for me. Ross doesn't really, but for me it's a fanto im like, no,

I did not drink an entire bottle of tank Ray leave me alone. So anyway, but now it's all for not so all right? Well, I hate to violate only because we'll probably get yelled at my management, but I think we're gonna have to do the show tomorrow. So but yeah, so tomorrow. Don't worry. Race agent for the Weather Channel. He's here tomorrow as well. Right, No, yes, yeah, ok, I'm actually here, believe it or not. All of next week. I couldn't.

I couldn't get Monday off, can you believe? Dude? I don't even want to hear it from you. I don't even want to hear it. I'm just gonna say, and maybe I don't care if I get any better trouble. I know people in your tree that are actually off tomorrow and their vacation starts tomorrow. Not gonna mention any names, but would they say, would they be more more of our westerly side of our tree? Yes, they would be good the western side of the Yeah. Well, what are

you gonna do? Yeah? Absolutely, And it's uh, you know, great weather for it the next few days Sunday, forget it, just just plan on being indoors. You are going to the Panthers game, It's gonna be even uglier because of the rain and the wind is gonna have everything that's gonna sound and look like a tropical system. Gusty winds, rain, heavy rain, even some flooding possible across the southeast, including central and western North

Carolina with multiple inches of rain possible and and uh gusty wins. But until then, it's a lot of sunshine today and Tomorrow and Saturday Saturday, with a warming trend near fifty today, maybe close to sixty for Friday and Saturday. Most of us will stay probably between fifty four and fifty eight. Overnight lows will still be chilly, up twenties, low thirties, and then into the forties over the weekend for the nighttime hours in that rain and near sixty

on Sunday, with showers Monday Tuesday, mainly early Tuesday. So the bulk of the rain coming in on Sunday. And I'm going forty to seventeen Dallas. Oh oh no, no, no, no oh. You don't know what happened, do you? No? I don't, oh ros And I

made a deal. Okay, yeah, you're screwed man. Why because Rows and I made a deal because the Vikings actually play Saturday, they're one of the three Saturday games because we're thing right, And the deal was I'm gonna Vikings are gonna beat the Bengals for ros and then they're gonna handle you ladies for me. So yeah, that's gonna be up. Though I don't know

if I changed my quarterback out just because they're playing Dallas. I think I got to go for the points, you know, Josh Allen has I mean, not with who's the Jared Goff Sorry, Jared Goff is for uh Detroit? Isn't it golf? Yeah? I can'try. Yeah, I'm so confused. Okay, I don't see what you're doing. Well use a few times and I'm just yes, I did, I did, I got them. That's why it's not gonna matter. And and we're gonna do it with our third string because we benched Dobbs already. I saw that. Well, so

you're kind of Switzerland on this. Where do you go? I'm not Switzerland at all. You're in the NFC. Sorry, you're in the NFC's so you don't even know you're not taking a side no, yeah, you need us to be Yeah, I need you to lose. You're in the NFC. It's not impersonal, are they kind of over all the way on the right on the television screen that says in the hunt? They are in the

hunt? Yes they are. And unfortunately, if the Eagles win the division, which they could still obviously, then you'll be in the hunt too, or you'll be in the WOWD card and so yeah, well right now to the Cowboys. So they've got the tiebreaker. The Eagles have the tiebreaker. So there you go. All right, there you good back tomorrow? Yep, yep, yep. Joan Donagher is in for Jeff. She'll join us next. Hang on. This is one O six one FM Talk in the

Triangle and News Talk ninety four to five w PTI and the Triad. All right, good morning, it is eight fifty three Bloomberg Update. Now Joan Doniger and today Joan. What's happy? Well case. There is a lot of talk about how this holiday shopping season might look more gray than green,

But November retail sales came in with a strong surprise. They rose three tenths of a percent last month, when economists thought they'd drop a tick, and even if you take cars in gasoline out of the mix, they still rose more than a half percent, six tenths of a percent. Their economists figure there would only be a sl light uptick. But we're not spending on luxury items, at least we didn't last month, according to credit card information from

Barclays. Reuter says that showed spending on luxury goods was down fifteen percent in November over last November, and less say it doesn't signal a strong holiday season. But one asset manager says the US consumer will keep being reasonable and retailers are just going to have to adjust. There's a new vaccine on the market, one developed by Moderna and Mrk. This could be a game changer for people with severe skin cancer. This personalized vaccine in a study helped prevent the

recurrence of that cancer for three years. Patients with severe melanomas who got it and Merk's cancer drug key trude Oh were forty nine percent less likely to die or have their cancer return than those treat it with just key Trudah. And you can addact Metafast to the list of companies now adding weight loss drugs such

as Wigovy to their diet arsenals. Now Jones says Metafast traditionally used coaches and locale shakes and bars, but now well, it's investing twenty million dollars in Life MD. It's a telehealth company providing access to doctors and nurse practitioners who can prescribe the drugs and case it turns out that Oprah is using them. She told People magazine she is taking weight loss medication for what she calls a

maintenance tool. She didn't say which drug, but she is a board member and shareholder of weight Watchers, which also included prescriptions for weight loss drugs alongside It's count Your Points plan. Did you did you see the Drew Barrymore interviewing her? Did you no? No? So Drew Barrymore is interviewing Oprah the other day and she's holding her hand and stroking her arm the whole time,

and Oprah's trying to pull away. And so if Oprah had left a little weight on, she might have been able to overtake her, but fortunately she has had to sit there and put up with it. So all right, well, you know, maybe that's a benefit of weight loss, or you know, the drawbacks of it rather I heard the drawbacks are more for the sewer systems in those areas. So yeah, yeah, it's not good stuff.

But we can revisit this tomorrow if it's still in the news. Okay, all right, hard to you, all right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, there you go. Joan Donagher, Bloomberg News. Yeah, Ross, did you see Drew Barrymore? Like she's and she's almost sitting on her lap, stroking her arm and like it's the weirdest, creepiest thing. I think everyone, and I think people in Hollywood are just so strange.

Man. It just does something to you. And like Barrymore has been there from day one, you know, like she's never known anything else weird. I didn't put in the stack, but I thought it was weird. You know what else is weird? So Boston Paul just sent me the Robert

Kraft story. Did he not know about this? You're you're a Patriots fan, sir, So if you don't know, there's a report that came out that said that Robert Kraft, the owner of the Patriots, this has already decided that Belichick's out, and he made the decision in week ten after the Patriots lost to the Colt and then a couple other parts that rumor one that the reason he hasn't just eighty six to them is because he might want to

trade him. Yeah, so that's weird. I guess. I don't know you guys are willing to trade for Belichick there ross, I mean he could be. He could be like Joe Brady's assistant, like our offensive coordinator. By the way, you can trade for coaches, it's just almost never done. I think John Gruden was traded. I had no idea you could do that. Yeah, oh yeah, yeah yeah, but then twice a year,

wouldn't you think he might try to sabotage you? Yeah? So I feel like you just need it. You don't need that potential in your locker room. The dude, who is it? Jared Mayo, I think, is who they were saying. So Mayo played for Pats and I think he's their linebacker coach, but also so kind of runs the defense, which is interesting to not be the DC but have those duties. So we shall see. But yeah, yeah, apparently the end is nigh, so maybe we

can get him for Maybe it could be our new quarterback. I don't know what else we're gonna do, right, now, man, they're so screwed. And finally, just because I love to end a show like this, a farmer said he knew somebody was getting in and messing with his calves.

He's a cow calf operation and if he found a couple of them dead and the others quote acting weird, So he put up surveillance equipment and formed a plan with his wife and kids that the next time an intruder's in there, it would trip a silent alarm and they would go in and surround the intruder. And they did, and he was pantiless behind one of the calves. And now he's very sorry. My question is what happened to those two dead

calves? These guy's got some that And part of the sentence apparently is one hundred and fifty hours of unpaid labor that he owes the farmer. Why what's he What are you gonna have the guy do on the cow caf operation? You don't want him anywhere near there. Oh my goodness,
