All right, good morning everybody. It is the case O Day Radio program. Does my mic sound weird this morning? No? Okay, all right, I think it's you know what it is. It's a mental thing because it's when I was booting the computer and it's like, uh, you're hard, sure partentition doesn't exist, and it's got like the big window, and my tech skills were to close the window and hope everything works so that when that's how you start your day, you just assume everything else is on fire,

so other than our central cooling system. All right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. That is the phone number you want to be on the show. And everybody's a lunatic. So did you watch the pageant tree that was South Florida yesterday? As Trump and one of his assistants I guess went and got themselves arrested in Miami, but made it look like it was doing some sort of presidential visit, which absolutely made MSNBC lose

their crap. So in that sense, uh, I was laughing a little. Did you see some of the so they were so mad because like they didn't you know, they wanted him like tays remember all those those those fake photos right where he's he's trying to make a run for it, and the police are getting ready to Rodney Kingham like that got them um excited probably in that way, and they just didn't get that they got him going in there. You get a They're like, guys got a motorcade, and I'm like,

do you know how presidents and former presidents get around? Like do you know when Barack Obama goes somewhere, did they want like a van to pull up? And like you like the Patty Wagon. They wanted to Patti Wagon to put it back like he's Hannibal lector Oh I don't say Patty Wagon because then Boston Paul is going to call in. Did he get he goes like that's some whatever. You have the right to say that your last name is literally oh day, Yeah, yeah, yeah, okay is how it works.

So with that in mind, yes, that's what they wanted. They wanted, and then they wanted guys to get out. You know what those k those long poles with the with the loops on the end that they used to you know, catch the non Gandhi's a pit bull after they've eaten three toddlers. But also when they're like transporting cyrus the virus like they want, they want all of that. Oh, you've got to be up on the gurney. Really, do you have the mask? You got to go mask

right? Oh yeah, you've got to have the Hannibal Lecter mask. Guess yeah. If not, I mean, what are you even doing? So? Can we throw eggs at him? Oh? You want like the old school tomato treatment. I can't believe they didn't have somebody walking in front of him with that bell saying shame, shame or just boo right, just get the lady. It's that lady. He's probably dead right from Princess Bride. Oh she has to be dead. But if she's not, it would make

it even better at that age, because then she's really a witch. That's what they wanted. Yes, that is um, well, that's great, all right, I figured out the thing that does There we go. I'm like, ah, I've just been waiting for this computer to do something horrible to me, it looks like rokay. No, they were they were Superman. And then he went to like a cafe, uh you know, very famous Latin American cafe there, and you know, and it's instead of the

scene with the woman with the bell. It's the part where the the chick is now in charge of them. You know, her husband dies, Jason Momoa kicks it. They're lifting her up, and it's that meme they go, how white people see them, White liberals see themselves on the internet. Yeah, come on, man, you're telling me you couldn't get the boo lady. What are you even doing? Man? I mean the odds are she's a big lib anyway, Right, she's in Hollywood. They could probably

get her. She'd probably yeah, she'd do it for free. Man. Uh, yeah, they were here. Let me just read it. Cut these are tweets, or I'd play the audio for you. All right. So this is Michael Betchelas, who's their political correspondent. Ready and a massive tool. If we're making a list of tools this morning. This was never This was the never before seeing arrest of an ex president on grave federal criminal

charges. And because we and our free press have been barred from watching and hearing in real time, the accused man managed to make it look like a triumphant motorcade arrival, to which Jen Saki responded to beach laws and says this he planned the visit to the cafe, knowing it would be the only time this afternoon he would be on camera. He had his spokesperson make a wacky statement because he knew there'd be an appetite for words. He is managing this

like a former reality TV creator. Yes, yes he is. He's managing it. He's managing it like anybody with means and high high profile does. It's not just former presidents. Did you watch all the Danny Masterson insanity? That whole thing. I didn't pay a ton of attention to it, But like, there's so much behind the scenes, Like was the Church of Scientology, you know, manipulating witnesses. I mean, there's a lot going on

there. But man, he's rolling into La County Courthouse and the paparazzi's around there, he's stopping for a latte and and you know, he's got all of his spokespeople around him, and that's how it was managed. What did you think was going to happen? So we had, you know, we had that insanity. Wow. So the Boo lady, Oh you looked it up. She passed away in twenty fourteen. She lived to be one hundred

and one, so almost Marjorie Mason. You almost well, I mean, couldn't we get a one of those uh you know, like the dancing Jackson holograms of her, Just get a look like I mean, you put it in the same outfit, like the tattered cloths, you know, and then be like, oh my god, look at this, Look at this brave immigrant undocumented worker boo in the president. Wait hold on, wait wait you race you Ray Swapper though, right, That's what I'm saying. They'd have

to do. Okay, she's a bool, but now she's she's indigenous trans she just washed up on the beach from Cuba, and she's booing them already. You know, you say boo in Spanish el el booie el Boooh uh yeah for a man and then el boa for a woman. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yoh no, it's gender specific language. Oh man, we don't you know what she's I gotta find a more permanent spot on the button bar for her. What should we purge from the two right hands? Uh

columns? What do we not use? Royal majesty? That's done? You're you Oh so good? I mean that are great est? Yeah, but I but you know, I like to play them both with each other. Actually, actually I think probably I probably I changed my way vall I go over with that's wild. Ye. I don't like that one. That one sucks. I mean, it doesn't suck. Did We just don't use it very much. It's just not his epic. Yeah, all right, all right, please yellow the boo. It's found an official home right up there.

But that's that's what they wanted. That was and they didn't get it because that's secretly that's what you want, you want. And it goes back literally and we're making jokes about you know, the bell lady with the shame shame. But although I didn't want him walking naked, Okay, that's just not the personal I don't want to see it. I don't want to see it there. I don't want to see it on the lawn of the way. I actually, you know what, I on that story, and we're

gonna get to that story. I could go either way and I'll explain why. Uh if you don't know what happened. They had some big trans topless party or something, a big LGBT party at the White House, and um, you got a little saucy and now like they had the administration has had to throw the transactivists under the bus. Acep Rose Montoya and um, we'll we'll, we'll sneak in on that. We got that. Lieutenant Governor joins us today. It'll be coming up here at eight o five. Amazon doesn't

like money anymore. I guess this is this story's bonkers, and um, like I don't it should be worse pushback then the uh than what Bud like. God, I'm gonna be honest with you, because I would be terrified of this because well we predicted it. And how Amazon doesn't see how bad this is for them is is beyond may and with their actions, that's what you would assume. Plus Chuck Grassley as a rather interesting thing which I'm sure you heard about, but we weren't on the area yesterday, so we will

get to that as well. Right now, it is six eighteen k c O Day Radio program. Hang on keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, welcome back. It is six twenty three here on the k c ODA Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. All right, So what was going on at the White House? Well, you know, it's it's Pride month. I don't know,

have you got ross had you heard of this? Apparently it's a June thing. I'm sorry, it's Pride What Pride month? Really? Yeah? Yeah, yeah, all during the month of June. So I'm just hearing about this. Um. But anyway, so they have a big event at the

White House, okay, all right, not unexpected. I know people are still upset over the flag display because American flags are flanking it and a Pride flag, so you have them, you have three that are that are the same height, although there is a flag that is above which is the traditional flag. And the course that creates a big debate over the flag code. And that's not really a law. It's more of a guidance thing. But you know, if it's the guidance thing and it's for the flag of America,

then perhaps America's House should buy it. Was so anyway, that was the whole thing there. And uh, but you knew they were going to have a party and they did, just like many many many of it. I've been I've been to a thing, a little thing at the White House where they had a bunch of talk radio hosts there. So you know, these things happen, and they do. They do a lot of events and obviously based on whatever ideology and the president is, that's what you're gonna do.

And in fact, didn't they remember that big group photo of all of the totally all on their own, completely not connected or compensated in any way, Twitter, leftist hack org um, you know they had that. So that's a thing that goes down. This one, though, had some extra elements to it. Happy Pride Month here, Happy Pride Life? Is that like salt life? What it's the dude? Go a guy, isn't it? I did? I know? So? Is that like salt life?

I don't know? Or a salt life? Those are my favorite stickers because at first you're like, oh, it's a salt life thing, and then you realize, you know what's not. Welcome to the life. Thank you, Happy Pride Month, Happy Pride Year, Happy Pride children. You are beautiful, you are heard or understood, and you belong all right, And so if you stopped it right there, it would be like a pretty traditional event. Right. Obviously you're going to have the president, vice president,

You're gonna come out they make the statements. Um, you know, they'll they'll be food. I'm sure of some sorts. Uh and you know, photo ops and all that standard stuff, but it can't roll in the bravest and most inspiring people aren't ever know. I don't know if you know some military people are just slightly irritated by that bravest. Okay, all right, I mean your take a little videos, so damn are Oh wait, hold on, whoa what was that last thing? Let's go to the tape.

Yeah. Yeah, So one of the attendees, Rose Montoya, who is a trans woman but so got a um, got a big old set of chesticles, attached some boltons there and decided, hey, you know who wants to see them? Everybody at the White House on the lawn. And obviously some people had a problem with that. Okay, is you know, you're

stripping at a White House event? And also here's the thing if in this, in this big discussion about you know, the line between wanting to inform this is wanting to inform people that you know, LGBT people exist, which is I don't know anyone denying that, um, but the sexualization of things some would say that's more in category two. But don't worry, there's more to this coming up here on the k c O Day radio program one six one FM Talk and f WPTI, two stations driving the best in talk.

This is case O Day and Carolina's Morning News. All right, So, anyway back to the White House Pride events. So yeah, yeah, one of the attendees Rose Montoya. Uh. And it wasn't like it was off to the side or something like. It was part of like this weird pan congo line. If you watch the video and like they're going down showing all the attendees there and then boom, you know, sounds out those out.

And some people had a problem with that, including the White House, who almost immediately through this individual under the bus and says that they're banned from the White House. The White House has condemned transactivists for going topless at Pride Month and says it will no longer invite Rose Montoya to a future event. By the way, here is Montoya defending what happened. He has recently come to my attention that conservatives are trying to use the video of me topless at the

White House to try to call the community groomers et cetera. And I would just like to say that, first of all, going topless in Washington, DC is legal, and I fully support the movement in freeing the nipple, because why is my chest now deemed inappropriate or illegal? When I show it off? However, before coming out as trans it was not because it you went and said give me the Pam Anderson, right, And then that's all going on. And just because you know what else is legal in Washington DC.

Smoking all the pot and eating all the edible you can get your grubbies on. They got dispensaries now everywhere perfectly legal. However, just because something is legal doesn't mean it's appropriate in all circumstances. Like at no point when I got to go visit the White House did I go? Should I wear pants? I don't, I don't know. Maybe just you know, maybe just go banana hammock, which should be perfectly legal. And I get like a big old thing a pot, Just smoke it all and roll in party

time. And here's the other And then this is on a more serious note. Again, there is this delineation, and I think this is where most people are at. People recognize their stuff for adults, and there's stuff for not adults. Right, So the act of a teacher who is gay simply

being around kids. People don't necessarily have a problem with that. I'm sure some people do, but the vast majority of Americans don't, and they don't necessary don't even necessarily most Americans, I think object to when you verbalize it two of them that somebody who is a because you're gonna have all the democrats.

I think there's a lot of independence who don't care. And if it had just been the story time, I know it irritated people, and it was kind of being the more it irritated, the more it was done. However, once you've launched into the world of sexualization of things, this is where people started caring because a lot of that sexualization was showing up on video around kids, because they're like, bring the kids to the drag event.

And then instead of you know, somebody reading Little Boat Peep sitting in a chair, they're reading one of the one of the books with pictures that the news can't even show, or it's full on dance events, and you see these you see these kids who look obscenely confused, little kids sitting in a chair, and there is a sexualized dance going on in front of them.

And so that's where the narratives start to diverge. Right, So people are sitting there and they're like, um, I'm not cool with this, and and you know, the term groomer gets thrown around or any of the rest. But but then the pushback is they're just they're just existing around kids. And it's like, but but they're not just they're not just existing that that person doesn't have a shirt on and is you know rock and double ds.

That's not just existing, Or that person is tucked in a thong and is uh, you know, doing some sort of gyrating dance afoot from a kid's head. So if you're going to have a white house event, have the event, but don't you benefit from you know, it just being a normal event in the sense that you know, obviously it's an advocacy group or a community that's showing up, you know, with the wear, your rainbow shirts,

have the flags, have the photo op with the president. But once it, once it turns into a sexualized aspect, you're doing yourself a disservice. It's as though it would be akin to like gun a gun owners group, not that they would get to go to the White House, but just understood listen to the comparison going to the White House, and on video you see a bunch of guys who are drunk, right, so let's mix alcohol in guns. And they're saying they're having a contest who see who can do

a Old West style spin with their glock. So they got their finger in the trigger guard and they didn't unload it, and they're in talks like you would have bad behavior and it would then be reflected in the videos that emerged and it would not be beneficial to being a responsible gun owner. Okay, And I know it's that's it's not straight apples to apples, but it is

kinda so I think that's how people saw this. It's not about they're biased than like inadvertently confirming uh, you know the are you a woman debate? They just see think just think about what a kid sees and ross would you say that in the world of until visually if you weren't paying attention. I

think um and scrutinized it that particular activists probably passes. Okay, if people, you know, from just from a visual standpoint, and I thought people were confused as to whether that was in fact a woman or a man. And but you know then recently come to my attention, right, so if

you hear the audio. But so if you're a little kid man you made, you don't know that looks like that kind of looks like mom no, when you're just scrolling through your Twitter feed, right and you don't read the story and when you know, not the one where she's covering up her breasts, you know, a photo of you, if you were just scrolling quickly, you'd be like, that's a woman. Yeah. Jesse Kelly yesterday throw at a tweet that was really funny. It was like, I'm tired of

pretending that person isn't attractive and hot. He's like, I refuse to pretend any longer. Yeah, I just it's it's so imagine you're year ten, because they had a bunch of kids at the event too. Imagine you're ten and what you're seeing is you're seeing behavior that's going to call into question the appropriateness of the White House now, because we as we know did the White House should be reserved in the privacy of the Oval office for the president and

its staff. And you know, the cigar or occasionally a very famous movie actress and a very young president who shouldn't have gone to Dallas that day, but not on the lawn with all the cameras and stuff. This is not that hard, Jamal, what's going on? Hey, Casey? I just want to say that, Oh no, they got him? What in the world put that on hold? They got Jamal? No? Okay, it was should we put out a reward? Where's Jamal? Man? Do you

hear how abrupt that was too? I mean that's how the CIA works, right, I mean, we have we have crossed the rubicun You get snatched into a van right in the middle of the phone call because he was going off what on Monday? Obviously they're like, we can't have that anymore. Ross and I were also fantasizing what the CIA may be up to, and we'll tie it into that grassy story coming up. So but anyway, that's

that's the event at the White House right there. Not a good look, man, And I don't care, um, I don't care what frankly what the group is. But it's there's added emphasis on the fact that it happens to be part of a group where there is a big debate right now over why things that shouldn't need to be sexualized, straight or gay are constantly being

sexualized. And I think that that's a fair debate. And by the way, I think that there's some examples that I hear from LGBT activists where they say, well, this is sexualized in a straight component, and I don't think that that's incorrect. I really fall into the camp that it doesn't matter who you sleep with, you shouldn't be sexualizing things in front of kids. That's where I'm att I'm gonna say this will be unpopular, but I've I've

said, I've mentioned it on the show. I think that the little um the little pageant things where these girls get put out, you know, they're they're six or whatever, and they rock like a Dolly Parton look no offense to Dolly Parton like stuff and shirts with a gallon of makeup on. I

think that's pretty creepy. I'm not gonna lie, So let your hate calls role all right, Jamal, you escape almost had me Casey, but thank god I saw I mean, Darren, I said, hell, they try to get the right old trying to get me and then they glyphic go fo thank God, but um casey, when we sat there and we saw on that lawn and we sat then saw is the same thing that doing the gas lighting with us with President Trump. We see, we know that Joe Biden

is behind this. We know this is political, and they're sitting there actually trying to make it not like we don't see it's political. Then when they then when they see him and said, oh it's conservatives to stop me, they're getting like me, John Claude pr sat down and said for him, not for him, not to be combing back and stuff like that. But they blame it on conservatives, and people are like the those conservatives, Joe Biden and Joe Claude, Pierre bad, they're not us. And then they'd

be right, well, you know this is nothing. You know, we don't want people to think this is what pride parades are. Yes, it is what properates are. That's exactly what they do. It properate, not

or a fact they do worse against. Yeah, there's you follow obviously on the social media, there's a lot of who am I thinking of, like Chad Felix Green and others, um, some of which are conservatives, some are very I think just kind of independent, but they're gay and they are constantly on their going this is this is not a good look for the community. This is insane. What's it gaze against groomers? Which is the one big Twitter thing that yeah and gay patron yeah yeah, and and and they

like stop this because this is some of us can control ourselves. And I think that that is there's only one side that really gets the pub because the other ones, who might you know, might be critical and say this isn't the best look. They the media doesn't want to talk to them. But you know what, Casey, I'll be honest, you know, even concernats who are gay. I say this because I've had this discussion with him. This is nothing new. Please don't try to act like this is a small

thing in your community. This is a large scene every properade. You can look back from the eighties and the nineties when Nambula was backing them, this stuff was going on and happening, and I still and I link it with President Trump because they sit here and they act like we don't see it. If you want to see somebody really go crazy, or President Trump yesterday standing up and letting people know he won't be beating. Look at Jake Tapper.

Jake Tapper, Well, I'm not trying to jump such, but just look at how he reacted when people cheering on President Trump. These people hate this man so much. They hate him so much they are willing to do whatever it takes. And I'm glad President Trump said they opened up Pandora's box because now there is no Republican that should be worn that should not say let it be. No Democrats started it, we can start prosecuting him. Hillary Clinton

should be sweating bullets right now. She should Why what, what if what has ever given her any any cause to sweat bullets considering how protected she's been. Well, you know what every Republican and I say this casey Republicans on the local level, the local level, if she and her husband pulled some stuff that they can go after her on a state at local level, they need to do it. And Dora's box have been opened up. There is

no excuse why us. The reason I'm not gonna about you because I know you have to be unbiased and because you're a journalists, you have to be unjal. I'm not a journalist, I'm a commentator. I mean I'm you know, I don't. There's no me having to be unbiased. H okay, very biased about stuff. Okay, Well, us as Republicans right now had cold when we talk to when we get people who are running for attorney general and people who are running for prostitutors, there is no more excuse what

they say. They can't do it. We have seen it, it has happened, it's already done. Now we have a right to demand. Y'all need to do something. Y'all need to do something because how they have done President Trump is all they have. All the damn is broken. It's cracked, the waterfalling through. Y'all need to see here and go on. Let

the Democrats fly right through it and start getting them. There should be so many a rough falling on the hunt abiding in Arkansas, Florida or the way he will sitting as some of those pictures on a laptop, but he will underage girl that remember remember that's Florida right now. Has a big financial event. Thanks for the call there, Jamal, But they have a big financial investigation because of some business dealings down there. By the way. This is

the Jake Tapper thing that he was. Jamal was just referencing national security laws and then obstructing, and we're seeing happy birthday to Trump with the FBI. Whatever this spectacle is that's unfolding before us. Let's remember what this case is about. Let's remember what this indictment charges. Again. Donald Trump is charged with a series of federal felonies for mishandling. And so they're saying happy birthday. You can tell they're get any more irritated. There's people coming up in

a hugging Trump. This is when he went to the cafe there in Miami, the most sensitive to government. You see the video running in the background for obstruction of justice, a law with Walt Nada, who is charged with intentionally setting up lies to the grand jury, to the FBI anyway you like, and then they just cut out of it. Whatever maybe going on in that restaurant. This case isn't going to be settled legally in a cafe. It's going to be settled in the courts, facts in law, the folks

in the control room. I don't need to see any more of that. He's trying to turn this and he's trying to turn it into a spectacle into a campaign ad. That's enough of that. We've seen it already. Let's go over again the thirty seven charges that Donald Trump is facing right now. We don't have to go into each one. But Ellie, if I told you it was killing him, man killing him, hang on, we'll be

back. So how does that work? Do you have to wait then until you hit the city line and then you can do one hundred miles an hour or wherever you want? Or I'm not sure. I don't know what. I'm going to test it out. Very excited Ross Ross this morning. He's telling me I'm invincible kind of all right, So so what you You got a T shirt and some you know what it is. It's akin to the what do you do? Like the donation to the police fund? And they

give you that sticker for your back window. You ever seen guys you put that back there and they're like, die, I bet I won't even get a ticket with this. And I'm like, so that was your reason for, you know, donating money because you think it'll get you out of a take away? So Markie's work where she works, she's like that, you know, marketing director, they're gonna be doing an event. She reached out

of the police department because they're gonna be selling merchant. She said, you know, we would like a percentage of the profits to go to the police department, a charitable charitable thing. Yeah, and they she was talking the phone on the phone to them yesterday and they were like, yeah, we love it's a great idea. We would really appreciate that. And they're like, can we drop off some signage for you to use your event? This is the police. Yeah okay. She's like, yeah, no problem.

Sure. So they're gonna come with you know, the squad card stuff and drop it off like five minutes later. She was super excited that I'm gonna take a picture with Lincoln in front of the car. Use it for the marketing. It'll be it'll be great. Sure. Yeah. So she's out there talking to the officer for a while and you know, they're going back and forth, and he gives to the sign and then he comes out of the card. He goes out of nowhere, out of nowhere, he goes,

can you give these shirts to Ross? And she's like, who's it? Yes, her event, And they're like, yeah, we love the show. We all listened to the show. I thought she was messing around with you. I'm like, you're messing around. You're not out there, You're not You're not there. I didn't want to go outside. I'm tired of staying in the house. I was watching Thor, like the original Thor

and the Avengers. That's what I did yesterday afternoon. That was all right, right, yeah, so I don't want to go I'm tired, and I thought she was messing with me. So I went back and watched the ring audio doorbell, you know, the audio from the ring doorbell. I'm like, oh my god, it's weird. That's weird, but I appreciate. And then then then the gears in my head start clicking. I'm like, I wonder if I if I pulled they pulled me over, if I

could get away with it. If you're wearing the shirt, Oh I'm sorry, sure, I didn't know you were wearing the shirt. Continue driving around school buses. It's fine, whatever you want to do. Here's the key to the city. In my defense, they probably pulled me over for driving too slow. I don't. I don't speed at all. I'm always in the right hand lane going like five five miles maybe over the speed limit. That's it, which is impressive. On one because you're either doing ten miles

an hour on there or are a hundred. I've noticed it's kind of turning into like South Florida traffic. Yeah, but I rarely go into left hand lane, like rarely. I like taking my time and just enjoyed my drive. Yeah. But now you got the T shirts, so I mean right, so they pulled me over, like, huh, T shirt. That thing's gonna reek, but at least you won't have any tickets, gonna wear it all the time, yeah, everywhere? All right? Can you give this to ross out of nowhere? And you got my chirt? Right?

Oh man? Um I gave it away to a homeless man, did you? Yeah? Yeah, because it was so giving. Okay, they definitely gave you one though, all right. They were like we love that that other guy. Is that what they said? The third place? We love We loved third place as you should. Oh well, look, you know that's good. When you started telling me that story, I thought it was gonna be some weird twists or some butt hurt person on Twitter, It's like,

why are you donating to police charities? So I'm glad it was just you getting a shirt and me not. So all right, good good. Um oh, I was just gonna make a wonderful transition and then I completely spaced it. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, okay, all right, let's let's go ahead and do this. Um so any who, we got that going on? And um why did I not? But oh there it is okay, So I just had a total brain fart moment. Apologize for

that. We gotta get to this Chuck Grassley thing because um oh, you know what, I remember when I was gonna here's the transition I was gonna make that will make it. So you said you went and you checked your ring doorbell camera. Did it then throw racial epitats at the officer or what happened? Did not? No? I didn't buy that version. Is that an upgrade or is that like the Southern addition or what is that that? I don't think it was available for me. It's okay, Well they roll

these things out. I point this out because there is a crazy story. Uh that was something that absolutely is was predictable. Where the Slippery Slope, you know, official Slippery Slope show, I think out there and it still baffles me that Amazon would allow it to get to this because I feel like it it has to have an impact on their on their ability to move forward with this stuff. And it's not just injurious to them, frankly, it's

injurious to most of these tech companies. Google as their stuff, Amazon has their stuff, Apple of course has their stuff. And when you think of all of those companies and you think about their ideological bent, I think we realize it's all on one side and not the other. So here's what happened.

This guy named Brandon Jackson, he got he went all in on the Amazon stuff, with all of the connected home stuff, right, and you can get crazy with this where you you know, your your point of con intact is your Alexa, and it's connected to your security system, it's connected to the lights in your house, the smart home, all the smart home stuff, and you can go crazy. I got a buddy who doesn't have

to do anything, and I mean nothing. He can go. He can walk into his house and it's like all those future movies, right with the three seashells in the bathroom kind of stuff. And you walk in and his house is just jacked wired man, and he he just his voice commands, turns on all the lights, turns on the TV music. It's connected to his He's got one of those smart refrigerators. It's connected to that, and

it's just it's integrated into everything in his house. So Brandon Jackson, I don't know if he had quite that much, but he had a lot of stuff. Well, all of a sudden, he's you know, he starts issuing commands and nothing's happening, not working. Alex Alexa took the day off. He can't figure out what's going on, and it literally rendered useless his smart home devices, or at least that portion of the in the case of some of them, that portion of it. So where you have that voice

integration, you have that smart home integration, it just wasn't working. So um, he just assumes that like there was a there was an update. He didn't get, you know, everything that you do, unplug it, plug it back in, none of it. So he eventually calls Amazon, and Amazon informs him that he is um. His smart devices have been suspended.

He's locked out of them, and he can't figure out why, so they tell him when he when he calls again, they then tell him because a delivery driver for Amazon had reported that when he attempted to make a delivery, the person inside the home said something racist to him, and it was based on that singular report with no evidence but the driver's word that this happened, that Amazon cut the juice and he had obviously these are devices that he

had paid thousands of dollars for. But for the smart home to work, it's got to because the voice commands go and hit Amazon servers and then come back and control the devices. They severed that link because somewhere in the fine prince as if they want to turn it off, they'll turn it off based on you know, certain things, and one of them apparently is racism. Well, this is where your slippery slope is, because that was wholly predictable. This is what they said they would do. This is this is akin

to the virtual version of China's social you know social score. Where in China, if you know your social score is, you can't get on public transit there, you can't drive your own car, you can't do crap. And this is this is what they want, obviously, the level of control, except in this case it's not the government, but it's these megacorps who just decide, hey, all this stuff you paid us all this money for,

you can't use it anymore, you're out and it's all. Now. When people hear this, um, do you want to go buy a smart home device a connected to Amazon? Because here's what actually happened, he goes, I don't, I don't know how this happened. They told him when the delivery was, and he's like, nobody was home. Nobody was home. So he actually went and he looked on his on his cameras and sure enough,

there's the video. There's the video, and actually he's got an echo saying, well, I don't need to get in the tech, but basically that. So he reviews the footage and what the automated voice on the doorbell said was excuse me, can I help you? At that moment, the driver was walking away wearing headphones and had already set the package down, so that was what it is. So he grabs the video with the audio of

the driver and exactly what the camera said. He sends it to Amazon and they ignore him and he has to call, and he calls again, and then like a week a week later, they tell him that they're now starting an investigation. And then a few days later they just turned his stuff on and didn't apologize, didn't say anything, just did that, But you think he is gonna buy any more Amazon stuff or really smart home stuff. This is this is how you destroy people's confidence in your product, because this is

exactly what people were concerned about it and we're told they were crazy. Oh, you're crazed down. They wouldn't do that. Sure, they would think of all the stuff that you use that's integrated as part of a subscription system, but you have to buy the you have to buy the tech. That's a lot of stuff. And when you start getting into smart homes that could be tens of thousands of dollars. If you get to you know, you go big Sonos system and all the rest of it. I don't want any

of that. I was creeped out when Ross was telling me about some of the fridge options, right, I don't understand that. I don't want anything. I don't even like Alexa. I don't like that stupid Alexa thing. I don't I definitely don't want a smart fridge, which makes no damn sense to me. Well, hold on, we like we like Alexas and anything else, or you can just tell it to stream your favorite iHeart radio show.

Oh that's a good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but other than that at yeah, the smart what was the one feature you told me about the fridge? I'm like, who's buying that? Was it? The door clay? Was door closed thing? Yeah? Yeah, it'll it'll just lock your fridge. Who wants this? So? Yeah, no, this

that's worst case scenario. And then for them to handle it so flippantly where they don't even get back to the guy and just to turn it off based on this singular thing rather than I don't know, making an inquiry, making an inquiry. It has that I don't understand how many of you are fully could have the smart home stuff? What's your comfort level with that? Does this make you rethink it? Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four I'm curious. Give us a call, let me know. We'll be

back. Case O Day Radio program, Thank you, Casey w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, good morning, seven twenty five. We got a few calls to get through, So let's do this on the that Amazon story and just you know,

shutting some guys stuff off for something he didn't even do. After he had spent thousands equipping a smart home, Brad, you're up first, Go right ahead, Hey, Casey. You know when the Echo first came out, we got the first generation and it wasn't too long after that that we

got a case of dog biscuits delivered to the front door by Amazon. And the only thing we could figure is that it listened to a commercial because we a television commercial, because we had looked up and it said it was ordered through the Echo, and we were always careful to make sure the dog did not know the password to the last I was just saying, sir, the best thing so so that, yeah, I would, I would talk to

the dog. I saw it on a call screener, and I'm like, if it's a bunch of women's stuff, your wife's lying to you, like, oh no, the Echo sent us lubatons again or something along those lines. Or if it's like a new ar it's like maybe you were drunk, sir, but no, yeah, it's from the listening standpoint. I've heard those stories. I'm more creeped out by the ads and stuff. It's like,

oh no, it's not listening serving ads. And then all of a sudden, all the ads or the thing you were just talking about so that's exactly right. Yeah, yeah, yeah, all right, all right, thanks Brad, tell the dog hello, genius, absolutely genius. Ross runs into this like tons and tons of plastic keeps showing up at his house. He's got a cat that eats plastic. So I'm just saying making a connection

here, Steve, what's up? Okay? So I've even been given one of those things free through a company thing, and I won't take I won't put that thing in my house. The one that's hears me, uh, and I won't put it in is the next thing that controls that's a good point. Yeah, you're using too much sir, Yeah, no, no cold air, you're running too much power? Yeah. How dare you the Green Initiatives? Yeah? How dare you do exactly what they're doing to their

eleven thousand square foot mansion? So yeah, all right, eactly. And on the two hundred and thirty five foot support yacht that Bezos has a promise, the AC is running. Uh real quick, Greg, go ahead, Yes, I changed my mind. I have a few glint cameras and the Echo Dot show and I noticed the TV will trigger that, so I have to cover it. But I wonder if they're monitored during your conversations during the

day. I look, I think a lot of people suspect that maybe they are based on the ability of what I was just mentioning, where it's just these eerie, weird thing where you didn't you didn't search something online, but you were talking about it, like, hey, maybe we should go on a cruise. Right You're talking with your wife or whatever, and then all of a sudden, here comes a bunch of cruise ads the next time you log on that right that that right there. A lot of people get that

eerie feeling, and I think it's enough for folks. But this story, I think is going to convince a lot of other people that it ain't a good idea. Appreciate the call there, greg have yourself a good one. And the tragedy of it all is this is one of the things that I see is really beneficial for something like this is if you are somebody with a disability, if you are somebody who's older, has more trouble getting around, you're you know, you're the president. This is you don't have to get

up and go to the thermistad or do a whole lot of things. And it could be very beneficial. But this stuff terrifies me. Anyway, we'll be back this one oh six one FM talk in the Triangle and he was talking WUPTI in the Triad. All right, good morning, seven thirty six.

Jason Vakovic, who goes by the Moniker, the Alaska Avenger. He was not a member of the Avengers, but maybe you will, uh, if you don't know who that is, maybe you will feel that he should be, who initially received a twenty eight year sentence for his crimes, but was not allowed to present at initial trial his own history of rampant sexual abuse, which was documented by the way, it wasn't just his word on him was attempting to have that sentence or have a new trial after lawyer said that

it was an improper decision by the judge to not allow him include his own sex history, sexual abuse history of what happened to him, so why would it be relevant. So they did reduce the sentence out of twenty three years for some technicality, but he's not going to get a new trial, so um few. I think it was twenty twenty the COVID was arrested because all of that hatred for what happened to him stewed for years and years and years.

Both him and his brother were it pretty horrible stuff what the father did. And he said that also as is. You know, as he got older, he would sit there and he'd see all of these stories of these um these sex offenders getting slaps on the wrist. And then he realized that with the way that the Alaska Sex Offender Registry works, he could he had all their addresses. So he pulled a bunch of them off and went and would go to sex offenders homes and beat him with a hammer. It sounds

like rorshack a little bit, yeah, watchman, Yeah. And he would beat him with a hammer, and he had some he had some female accomplice who would film it. Eventually got a rest. He just charged with eighteen counts of first or second degree assault because he was just going door to door. Man. He's like, hey, are you blah blah blah, yep, push him inside, beat him with a hammer. He didn't kill anyone,

but he did beat him with a hammer. But nope, he is uh, he's going away for twenty twenty three years stead of twenty eight. Oh do it that what you will? Now? I'm not saying you should talk to Red and get a rock hammer. And I'm not saying you should get yourself put in protective custody. But I'm not not saying that. I mean, he looked at that rock hammer you're gonna get from. Well, can you can't do anything with it? Yea hammer for ants? When you

when you see it, you'll you'll know why it's funny. Yeah, can you image? Jesus, I'm gonna continue my work. Remember that guy, Remember the guy in California the face tattoo is in for life. And he's just like, yeah, I just beat those two guys to death because I didn't like them existing. Well, here you go with this, all right, one more smart device? Call David. What's up? Yes, sir, talking about the devices listening to us? Yeah, my wife and I

have been in our living room discussing the certain topic. Cell phones are in the room with us, and we're talking about, let's say, installing handrails on our front porch, and all of a sudden, we start getting these ads about different handrails that are going to be available. They try to sell us something we thought that was unusual. Later another day, we were talking about another product and about purchasing it cell phones, not you know, on

we're not talking over the phone. But all of a sudden, we start getting these ads just coming in about this product that we were talking about. They're listening to our phones constantly. So my wife and I decided to see if we could really get them going. So we start talking about murdering somebody or counterfeiting money or anything that would get the FBI to our doors. What why? And we jack? Why would you want that? We jack with

them? We jack with them because we know they're listening to our cell phones even when we're not talking on them. Yeah, but why wouldn't you if you wanted to test it? Why wouldn't you go like, you know, we need a thousand we need a thousand carrots? Right you went murders sir? Right, I'd rather carew to my door than the you know the scene from Christmas Vacation where they're flying through the windows. You know. Yeah, but people need to know. Well, look, well, and here I

agree with you. I think it is really eerie, but it is still speculative, right right with this with this No, no, it's real, it's real, okay, But you couldn't you couldn't prove it in a court of law with the current evidence that exists. Okay, I agree with you. I think I think it's absolutely good. People hear me, hear me, I don't hear me out, sir. My point is, because you know there is some people would go, ah, you guys are crazy.

However, it is undeniable with what happened here with this Amazon shutting off this guy's service, jacking him around for two weeks so that not even giving him an explanation. Amazon has not responded to this. So if this wasn't true, you know that they'd be putting out a press release and this guy's documentation. He has emails literally from an executive level email at Amazon explaining that this is going to be the process. So it obviously was escalated. And thanks

for the call, sir. It's not it's not speculation. It's a thing that happened. It's concrete. The guy has the receipts and at that point that right there should be enough for you to have pause. Man, speaking of swat teams, kicking indoors, Chuck Grassley, boy, oh boy. When it comes on the Joe Biden front, did he or didn't he get five million dollars, and you know, how did that work and what was it for and any of the rest. This is how Grassly laid it out.

And I have some questions. Director Ray was going to be held in contempt for refusing to produce the ten to twenty three that I told Chairman we're about, and I think I had that first conversation with Chairman Komer about three weeks ago. Then instead of contempt the m the FBI committed to showing the ten twenty three and related documents to the whole Congress. So the FBI showed.

After the FBI committed to showing this document, they showed, but it didn't provide possession of the ten all right, lab and save me sometimes. So basically they let us see it. It's not classified, but they wouldn't let us have a copy. And he's pointing that out. I want to get get me to the goodies. Get me to the goodies at ten twenty three involves and alleged bribery scheme between that Vice President Biden Hunter Biden. That's

the allegations. Yes, the same allegations that Chairman Komer and I made public. Oh my gosh, may the third here, No Chuck, come on, and on the very same day writer the redacted version of the ten twenty three to the House Oversight Committee. Ah, just give me some evidence, Come on, Chuck, give me something. Blow my mind, because right because I keep hearing, oh, well that you just have some foreign witness from whistleblower. What that's you know, their word against the president his whole

family. I want to see the goods. Where's the goods? Or national who allegedly bribed Joe and Hunter Biden allegedly has audio recording of his conversation with them. Uh huh, seventeen such recording like a lawyer or something. According to the ten twenty three, the foreign national possesses fifteen audio recordings of phone calls between him and a hunter Bye okay. According to ten twenty three, yeah, yeah, the foreign national possesses two audio recordings of phone calls between

him and then Vice President Joe Biden. Wow. Really huh? And he kept him for insurance all that. That's what Grasuley goes on to say, Well, well, well, and you know what they're gonna say, Like even if they produce them and say hah here it is, they play the audio, they're gonna be like, oh, the administration is gonna be like those are deep fakes. Well, wait to say, didn't they just have some audio with the Trump thing of him like shaking the paper around, going

on, shouldn't be showing you that. I mean that's different though. I mean that's actually real. It's legit because the dog they said, so they said that was a real. Yeah, they wouldn't. But but the ones on Biden, those are deep fakes. I mean you've seen the deep fakes out there, like Tom Cruise working like a janitor and stuff. It's not even him, but but the Trump is that's him. That's real. The

Bidens are deep fakes. That's what they're gonna say. And even if they listen, if they do exist, right, my my brain starts going in Jason Bourne mode from yeah, yeah, yeah, you know if all this is true, I think it is, you know, and they've weaponized the DJ and the FBI is completely corrupt, and they this these audio recordings do exist. They are not deep fakes. He has some sort of crazy ninja

fed team out to the story the tapes. I can see that we need to send Jason Bourne, you know, activate the asset, call him up and say the secret word or whatever it is, you know, it's it's probably like he calls up the asset. They got a wet work team in Kiev, and Jason Bourne's like hello, it's Jason Board and and Biden is like children and then activates the asset to go to Stroy. The tapes right before that, and there's an asset Like he's on the phone with Bourne.

He's like, ah, you look tired. Do we have that moment? Tell me we have that moment? Right, So what do you get? So like if the the giant Google cloud computing server where all the you know, this stuff on the clouds cap like that building just burst into flames. Man, there was a truck there in a person to flame. Oh my god, what about the driver? He was vaporized? Can you believe it?

Just so why? And they'll be like and it was a natural gas truck did explode and we should not have that to ban the gas doves now all over? Great, we've got sealed teams, wet work teams. Sway. Oh yeah, that's not good. Oh also my clock management not good. Race agent from the Weather Channel. Sorry, man, now you're good. I mean we don't have much really too terrible to talk about. Actually, it's gonna be great this morning and even into the afternoon. Lots of

sun a little bit high level cloud at times. Temperature is a little warmer, mid upper eighties with a west breeze. Now Tonight we will have a chance of just a few showers thunder showers, most of that before midnight, a little mid sixties. Tomorrow again sunshine with isolated showers and thunderstorms in the afternoon, mids upper eighties, and and Friday a slight chance of showers and understorms closer to ninety for the angles staying in the eighties. Try it all

week. It looks good though, lots of sunshine, especially Father's Day. So it does look like a bunch of ring right now. The boundary the stationary bands a long eye twenty. If you don't know where that is, it's like central Georgia Alabama points south. That's where most of the severe storms are rolling along today. We make it clipped by some of these clusters coming

out through the next few afternoons. So nothing too widespread. Uh want to I bet those storms are going to destroy the Amazon cloud computing building too, right, Yes, boom, just freak freak giant hurricane situated just over the small footprint. It's gonna be amazing, could be all right, Thanks sorry, thank you, harp appreciate it all right. And by the way, one of the most frustrating but simultaneously entertaining things on the planet is to listen

to a she Jack Sheila Jackson Lee lecture. Maybe he is no better than the immigrant that came in shackles like myself. Right, we love, we love some she Jack, but she was on the gun thing and stabilizing braces yesterday, and I have to play it for you. Your brain will hurt. Next Smart Talk all Day, w PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right, welcome back seven fifty five case O Day Radio program. And as mentioned, we got the greatest

hits of Sheila Jackson Lee. Maybe he is no better than the immigrant that came in shackles like myself or this favorite to day, we have two Vietnam's side by side, North and South exchanging and working. We may not agree with all that North Vietnam is doing, but they are living in peace. Listen, that's a mistake, right, She's a very young lady, right she was. She wasn't alive during the Vietnam in the conflict. Was She's like, she's a probably now she's like super young. How old is she

old? Or her ish? How is any impossible? I mean, people like do you know she means correas And I'm like yeah, so say that. It's not even like they're still North and South Vietnam. Hello, she says it to Vietnam Vietnam like she was over there. And this one right here when age talking about ARS fifteen in my hand I which I headed, it is as heavy as ten boxes that you might be moving. And the bullets that is utilized fifty carribo. These kinds of bullets need to be lifers

and do not need to be on the street. So of course she's the one who should be given the presentation on the house floor yesterday. Listen to this any day of the year. Braces talking about braces lived until you see a shootout in your district between a criminal with a ghost gun. We don't need automatic weapons in the hands of civilians. Wait what, there's no hunting purpose. There's no purpose for braces. You can buy the braces, yes,

without a background check. Yeah, but when it becomes a dangerous weapon, when that race changes the gun's legal status and makes it in essence the same that caused a mass shooting at a Boulder, Colorado supermar caused. It caused the stabilized embrace made and a shorter barrel made a pistol under federal gun

regulations. What what you just said is one of the most insane. All right, sorry, all right, quick call here, Chris, about a minute, go ahead, Hey, Casey, I just wanted to mention that the low energy bluetooth the is a kind of a man in the middle attack the phones whenever they're close to each other, they within a hundred meters, the low energy bluetooth starts gathering data and they start passing the data between each other, and they go back to the main server. And these moon bats,

I guess. I love that word. By the way, I've never heard it before, but I love it. Now are just using this data to just pretty much, you know, to just enslave us man. I mean, Democrats are for slavery. And I don't understand why people can't see this. I mean, these people are. It doesn't make any sense, but that's what's happening with your bluetooth low energy bluetooth even when you're driving, like right now, I'm driving next to this guy, my phone is actually

communicating the voice, messages, everything, every data point. It's I'm telling you, I hear you. And I thought low energy bluetooths was Chuck Grassley's bluetooth. All right, Lieutenant Governor's next hang on, All right, good morning everybody, and happy Wednesday. It is the k c O Day Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four is we fire in here to our third hour chat with the Lieutenant Governor. Hopefully here

in just a few lots of fun stuff to get to. And we got a Snopes thing. I got it, and I trust me. I know that you hate Snopes, these fact check idiots, huge bias, But this might be one of the most striking examples of what we talk about where it's not it's not cut and dry. It's about how you groom and how you position the narrative of the story to achieve whatever the fact check result you want is, which then destroyed people's confidence in fact checks where something would be clearly

true or clearly not true. But it was about who said it, and your eyes to be wide with disbelief, where they'd be like, did Joe Biden say this? So there's audio of him literally saying it, and then there'd be a fact check where they're just like, well, like he may have used those words in you know, that particular order, but what he really meant is this so not true? And you read that craziness and it would just it'd blow your mind, man. And yet that's what keeps hat.

I remember back in the day with Snopes, like when they remember ten fifteen years ago, where it was kind of an interesting sight to go to to check you know, a little little things that might go viral or just you know, things that have been common misconception. And when it wasn't in the world of politics, you know, they'd go out, they'd put it out there. But now you question everything you've ever seen on it. So

how the hell do I know? But they decided to tackle a story about a an LGBTQ church that burned down after being struck by lightning because people were sharing that story saying, look at that it's a church, but it's a church that is an LGBTQ plus I a whatever church, and people found a little Uh, nobody was injured, but they found a certain amount of irony with that. Now, did God smite the church or is it smote or

smite or you can use either one. I think you smote a person smite a church, right, because it was not in keeping with what is the was even the position of that particular branch of Christianity there. That's the story. So how do they choose over its snopes to handle it. Well, they decide that they're going to groom the information. So that's the story. Here's the facts. You ready, is the church a I guess woke church or whatever, but one that is its first congregational church. This is in

Spencer, Massachusetts. So did the church exist and was the church an open advocate of saying, look, we're going to be different than the rest of the first Congregational and we're going to have pride flags and LGBTQ plus and and you know there's churches around here that that obviously there's one over by what Hillsboro, Durham right there on the border there that I think is pretty popular.

And I know that the woman who pastors that church, you would see her showing up to a lot of the protests with Reverend Soglo the bufface Layer there, so um yeah, So I'll get to the facts on this here in just a moment. We're gonna chat with the Lieutenant governor now. But all of the elements exist and they couldn't bring themselves to do it. And as we head into yet another election cycle, tells you everything you need to know. All right. Uh, Mark Robinson joining us. Good morning to you,

sir. How are you doing, Hey, how are you doing a little late? No, no, no, it's fine. We got we got a few things to get to and I want to start. I want to start with something very important that has happened since we last spoke Iron Chic Man. How great a villain era was it to have Iron Chic and of course some evil Russians at the height of Cold War and all of the insanity with Iran oh Man obvious. Oh wow, that was one of them.

That that might be the the high the professional wrestling, I mean, that was that was some really good stuff. Tasy that was it was just it was incredible the energy in those places when him and Hulk Cogan went warping the ring, you know, USA versus I ran uh it was just it was it was over to talk. Man was over the talk. And now now if you want to get good villains, it's got to be like, ah, we got a new wrestler who won't wear a mask, right, or

you know, some stupid soldier. But now, because we don't have any real enemies, and I noticed they're not doing it. They won't do it to China, which would be a great, a great way to launch a really villainous character. And they won't because like every other sports endeavor, they want to cowtown to China because there's just they want to expand what it is that they're doing. The political correctness has just killed everything everybody wants to be.

You know, everybody here in America that all the WHO people are preaching all this tolerance, just let everything go, just listen all just the whole lands and be coom bay, y'all. But they're around the world. Everybody would always country shouting death to America and trying to destroy it, and nobody wants to stand up and fight. So it's just indicative of of what's going

on in our society right now. We have a president that doesn't even realize what real enemies are he thinks golden warming and climate change is the enemy. Meanwhile, China is making plans to take over the whole world, and he's just sitting on his lawson. In the United States, Navy and Army and

everybody else, we got to fight climate change. It's ridiculous. We you know a lot of states too, by the way, and you've probably seen this or taking positions with how much land Chinese or Chinese corporations or Chinese citizens can buy. Is that even a discussion going on in North Carolina that you're

aware of. It's it's something that's been very concerned to a number of North Carolinias, and I'm sure something that's concerning to a lot of of our legislators that some of our biggest industries have been or certain parts of our biggest industries have been overtaken by Chinese entities who may not have our best interests at heart.

But the thing that I'm really concerned with, Casey, is I'm really concerned with it seems like these moves with our farmland, not just here, not just here in North Carolina, but across the nation, really around the globe. Some of these nefarious, in seemingly nefarious entities seemed very interested in acquiring farmland, and we've got to be very careful about that. People think about farm people like Michael Bloomberg, who think anybody can be a farmer.

I think it's a simple proposition, and others may think it's just all about money, but it goes far beyond money, It goes far beyond industry. That is a national security, serious national security issue. A state needs to be able to feed itself, a nation needs to be able to feed itself, and so we need to have the We need to have food independence the same way we need to have energy independence. And that that's very concerned to

me. What's going on with that with that part of our society right now? It seems that we're going to be probably getting sports gambling in North Carolina kicking in in January unless the governor, I guess changes his mind about signing the sports gambling bill, which I guess he's doing today in Charlotte. Um,

how do we keep this from being the lottery all over again? You know, Casey being a person who believes in freedom and free enterprise and being believing that people have adults have the right to make decisions about how they spend their money and where they spend their money. That part of me tells me that we should allow people to do it, adults to do it if they want. But again, as another one those things, is very concerning to

me about where it's gonna go, what it's gonna lead to. You know, there's a reason why so many places around the nation, as this nation grew, so many places around the nation outlawed gambling because of what it brings. It's very, very tough to control the side effects of gambling, very tough to control the side effects of gambling. And so it concerns me a

great deal about where we're going in that in that venue. But again, if people want to vote for folks who are gonna legislature allows adults to gamble, you know, who are we to kind of tell them that they can't. But I'm certainly certain I was not in favor of the lottery, and I certainly do not do not partaking gambling, whether it be sports gambling, whether it be gambling in casino. It's just not something I'm interested in doing.

Uh, that's not something I'm interested in doing. What I'm interested in doing book my money, Yeah, I don't feel like taking that risk. Yeah, but if you'd had a part lay attached to the Denver Nuggets winning in four game or winning in five as I don't know, somebody I know did. Uh, yeah, you'd be smiling right now, except everybody else who didn't not smiling. So if you, if you bet on all the

team yet, your kids would go hunger for a week. I guess, well, I don't have kids, so you just be me and I could stand to lose a few pounds, all right. So I got a question. I know you were at the GOP convention obviously, not only was it going to be big in the sense that we yeah, we knew that the decantists would be there, and Trump would be there, and Mike Pence would be there and at a national level. Um, I saw I didn't. I wasn't there. And then I saw reporting after Trump's speech saying he was

low energy and he wasn't and what he used to be. Did you see his speech, and uh, you've obviously been to other events with him. Did you feel that there is a great divide in his energy and his attitude? I sense a little. I sensed a little of that, but I could tell you this as I did sense a little at it wasn't something that was concerning to me. I'm not gonna say it wasn't concerning, but it wasn't concerned in a way where I feel like he's losing a step or where

he feels like he's maybe losing his fight. What it really shows me was this, there's no quittedness, man, There's no quitted his You know, I've heard President Trump be described as a bully, and the last person who said that to me got a near fool. And I mean a near fool, because how do you call a man a bully who is literally being attacked

on all sides. The media, taxes, all of nearly all of the media, all of the Democrats, all of the leftists, and half of his party attacks this man, and he continues to fight that, and people characterize him as a bullet. That is the most ridiculous proposition that I've ever heard. He has no reason whatsoever to be running for president. He could have taken his billions, moved off short and watch this country bumping. But

he's the one person that I'm seeing that stood and fight fight. He fights for what's right, and the proof is in the pudding and what he did as he was president. He tried to make this country the country it should be, to stand up, be that shouting city on the hill, provide our neighbors with the energy that they need so that we can be a world leader and keep countries like Russia and China and North Korea and all the bad actors at bay. But these folks are determined to destroyed. But he continues

to fight. And Saturday night, I couldn't been any more proud of it, and stand up there and give that speech, and you're right, he did look dog tired because he's believed to Caul, he's under attack, but he's still kept his promise to the people of North Carolina, and he came here and spoke to us to continue to encourage us the fight. I remember. I remember when people were sitting there very early in his presidency and they were like, he's a he's a you know, he's crazy. You don't

know what he'll do. And then they would like they would couple that with like him going and dealing with Kim Jong un or Putin or any of the rest, and I'm like, I don't know. I kind of feel like, especially when you're dealing with those kinds of guys. You don't want them like they know what Joe Biden's going to do? Do you know what I mean? With Trump? You don't what you want him to go. You know, maybe just maybe he's crazy enough to turn us to missed right.

And I don't know if that's necessarily a bad thing. It's you know, I have a friend who says that brute force, money, and hot chicks run the world. And there is some truth to that, especially the brute force side of it, where you don't necessarily have to go out and exercise it, but need people to know that you can. And well, I can tell you this tast those folks around the world when they saw President Trump

stand up to his fifteen competitors in that primary when he originally ran. When they saw him stand up to Hillary Clinton, who was part of a powerful cabal watched in DC cabal where they saw him stand up as president and take

on his own party to do what was right. When they saw him stand up on the world stage and declared that the United States it's the greatest country on earth and would be a world leader again, I can tell you what those world leaders were looking at They may have been looking saying they don't know exactly what he's gonna do. But I know one thing that they knew that he would do. He would fight like hick to protect this country. And it made him afraid, and it gave him pause, and it made him

back up. And that's what we need. The surprise from the convention, I think for a lot of myself included was the centering of our senior Senator Tom Tillis. Was there some hubbub that led up to that? Are you surprised that that happened? What's your take? I was moderately surprising it happened, And there is there is a divide with that. There are folkses were really disappointed by that, and then we're folks that were really pleased by that

sentry. But by and large we kind of just stay clear of that. We really did. That was something that we felt the party needed to take care of. We didn't put any of our We didn't put our voice into it or influence into it at all. I think it's healthy to have internal debate inside of the party in that fashion, but if there is somewhat to divide in the party between that I've read and talked to a lot of people

who have different opinions. I talked to people who absolutely just do not like Tom tell Us, and I talked to people who love and respect them. And so that debate inside of our party will continue to go on. But as for us, we just kind of just stay clear of that because that's really not part of the purview of office. Right, last question ninety seconds.

You've had events obviously Lieutenant Governor's house there, I'm sure, um was there topless people on the lawn or is that against the rules there too? Because of the White House? Apparently it's a thing you can do. So, no, we don't. We're not gonna have any kind of and I'm gonna say the work. We're not gonna have any kind of feel like that

at office. We're not going to be displaying anything like that. We're not going to be displaying new people or or poled answers or any of that type of stuff, because we believe that, uh, these uh that are that are houses that are here for the people, are not for those types of displays, any display This president side of these government entities need to be uh, they need to be able to be seen by everyone, and that includes everybody from from five to two to fifty. It doesn't matter how old they

are. Is these are family places that are supposed to stand up or the values of this country. And that doesn't include uh bringing in our stuff that's unsafrey. So uh, you know what seeing currently from the federal government side, it just keeps continue to get more and more ridiculous. It's like this horrible side shows it's impossible for us to turn away from because unfortunately it's leading us towards a destruction. Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor, joining us this morning.

Mark, I appreciate it, and I want to apologize. We got our dates all screwed up because it was so close to the first So we're gonna try to chat with you next week to get back on track. So till then, have a good one, sir, Thank you, sir, appreciate you. All right, we'll take a break. Hang on your day Smarter one O six one FM Talk and News Talk WPTI more with Casey starts now. So yeah, I gotta there's I got two old quick stories here. So yesterday, well let me set this up so when I go,

when I go grocery shopping. I don't want to be there, right, I want to I don't need to wander every aisle. You know who you are. I have in my so yesterday, here's what I knew I needed. I needed so a couple of snack things and then some honey crisp apples, bananas, maybe a watermelon if I saw a good one. They only had one left in the whole store, and I got it, so screw all y'allum, and uh some some waters and you know, just basically a

basket's worth the thing. And I bought a bottle of port too, so anyway, and that's important. So I'm at Harris Teeter and I'm at the one over at North Hills and I got my basket and because there's a bottle of alcohol in there, I don't go. I'm not gonna go through the self checkout, even though you can. The guy will walk over. It was kind of busy and there's one lane open, and so I go into

the lane, set my basket down. There's a younger man there and I'm talking to him, and he he is when we're when we're chatting, it was kind of awkward conversationally, but I'm super nice whole thing, and and we conduct our business. And I had a two dollar bill, which and

he and that. That's then he started like kind of perked up on and he's like, oh, two dollars bill, and I'm like, yeah, somebody gave me one his change and it's you know, my totals like fifty two dollars and I have a fifty and I have a two on me and I like to pay cash for stuff a lot, So give it to him. Perfect. And you know, then when you get done, all your bags are sitting on the little, uh spinny thing and you kind of can like lean against it and it'll spin around. Grab your bags as they come

down. And I didn't look to see who was behind me, but there was there was a couple of people behind me that we're getting something. And so I'm looking down at my bag, just trying to make sure I got the handles all right. And I hear I hear him do the thing that whatever you know, which always happens when you walk up. Do you have your VIC card or whatever it's called, right, And I never had mine.

I have to enter the alternate idea, but whatever, and the it's a couple I can hear this, And the girl goes, h no, and if you looked at us, you'd know we're not from here. And she didn't say it in a joking manner, in a polite manner, even she said it in a snotty way, which of course means I am now going to look up and I see do you remember that website? Look at them effine hipsters dot com. Here a bit on that, And I never heard anybody sounds amazing, dude, lose a day, right right, lose

a day, go down that rabbit hole. No, it's look at that effine hips and you've got to spell it out. That's look at that effie to hipster dot com. And that's what it was. And then the guy goes, were from San Diego, and he didn't even say it, like he didn't say Santiago, which might have like gave me some reason. And like the guy, the guy checking them out, doesn't know what to say.

I felt bad for him because he's got to deal with these I I didn't hope they got run over by a prius when they walked out of the store, but it was just so condescendingly annoying, and I had to hold my tongue, man, because I wanted to I what I wanted to say is thank you for clarifying, because you look like you could be from all the cities of all the West coast, right, you can specify that you're so original. She's got like that, you know, that that semi cowboy

hat, you know, Joni Mitchell ironic thing with her hemp clothes. And he's wearing the boots with the roll down pants and the fleet and the flannel but like this, the it's weirdly too short for him and and them, and he's got the you know, the perfect hipster mustache, like like they were going for, hey, uh chat GTP, what is the hipster? Right your GPT. It would have taken all of my all of my strength, not to quote Anchorman when they said san Diego, I dude, I

just wanted to say something. I'm like, just don't, just don't. But it was so snotty the ways that she said it. Also, like I said, I go into the store, I am the last ross has made fun of me this morning. I'm the last person to realize they sell cheese it's extra toasty. I had no idea because I just grabbed the regular cheesets. I know they got the halapino and then they got the ones with the white chat I don't care about any of that. I love cheese.

It's but me and cheese. It's we've had beef now for a few years. Because they had the greatest cheesets in the world, which were the uh, the hot wings cheese it said, you're like, they can't really tease you. I would eat an entire box. I remember we had them. We brought a box here, didn't we so good, dude. They tasted just like hot wings. Now they're gone, jock burn it down, disgusting. I had. But I don't know why. I've never noticed extra toasty

cheese its because those are in the regular box of cheesets. If I see one that's looking a little darker than the other ones, I'm excited. So the fact that my dream exists in its own box, although it's got weird minecraft stuff on the front or whatever. That was the same way with my dream when I saw it, when I saw, like, you know, chicken wings. So it's like, this is what I've been looking for, exactly what I've been looking for my entire life. Gone crushing my dreams we

got beef. Well, it's America. Why don't you create your own? I mean, I thought it was America. Thanks Obama, right or I don't remember when they got removed? But mate, can you buy them on live? I'm sure somebody's like hoarding them and you could send the selling them on eBay for one hundred dollars a box or something. He found out they were being discontinued. How would that product not except oh, I have no idea. Are there people eating the half white cheddar half those ones? Yeah?

How's that box still around? It doesn't make any sense. Man, You're right, I don't know. It's it's like we're in a different timeline, twilight zone. I don't know what. I'm so good at what I eat now, like I behave myself right, And it's like, but if you were to put a box of those in front of me, it's over. Like, well, I guess I'm off the wagon. So if I was ever trying to ruin you, yeah, I just find put the box in the studio in the morning. Just you just come in there and there's

an eighteen pack in a box of cheese. It's it just it would just be the largest jerk move on. The plant would have no issue with the eighteen pack. I would have an issue with the cheese. It's. Yeah, well, the eighteen pack was like giving your wife a bowling ball, because I knew then he'd be like, I don't want this. I'd like, well, yes, I gotta take that home with me. But yeah,

the wing cheese it's, oh my goodness. All right. And by the way, if you're a cheese nip person, don't call the show Ross. Ross will ban you for life. We don't, we don't need no cheese nip. We're not having that argument because you're wrong, all right, eight forty two k c O DA radio program. We got a stage of hanging out since I hit him so late last time. Yeah, we're here, all right. So dude, Rose, we're just talking cheese. It's this is important stuff. Are you a cheese nip or cheese it person?

Cheese it? Okay? All right? And then there was a whole stupidity with a single cheese it and all the cheese it's are not called cheese it's it's cheese it. So you have like ten cheese it. You have ten cheese it. Yeah, and then everybody rejected that and told Nibisco or whoever makes this to shut their face holes. But um but I dude, I'm the last person to figure out they may cheese it extra toasty. Oh yeah, I had no idea because I when I go into a grocery store,

my head is down. I know exactly what I want, ye and I want in and out of there as fast as possible. I don't care. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. And then I just happened. Look, and I thought at first I saw the green, that green on the box because there's some minecraft thing, and I thought it was the jalapeno ones. And I look and it says extra toasty. Because when I eat a box of cheese, it M dude, I am. I am excited when in that box I find a few that are darker browner than others.

Right, well, it's the cheese. It is going the route of the dorrido or the potata chip where you can get ex flavored potato chip or other kind of chip. You know, now they're throwing anything on it. Well, sure you want that. Shelf Space's got that, but you know, old traditional so cheese, and I could eat many a cheese it, oh Man, and now now I'm getting cheese at spy reports, somebody said Brooks says that she saw them selling the hot Wing cheese. It's at the Walmart

and Morrisville last week. Yeah, yep, and then in the you know, like Ross road trip all right. Anyway, Yeah, anyway, sun may look like a cheese it right, it's kind of got that same kind of hint to it. And this morning we're seeing quite a bit of it. There's a mid high level overcast around. I'm not much rain, I

mean right now looking at a few clusters the thunderstorms. One south of Atlanta, a couple of showers coming through Chattanooga, and as they're going due east, it looks like they passed south of US, but may clip us with just a shower thundershower this evening and early tonight. Today, warmer, mid upper eighties. Tonight, we'll drop into the sixties Tomorrow again in the mid

upper eighties, and again just some hit miss showers, thundershowers. You add up to daylight hours and divide by it's probably about twelve hours of daylight right now. Most of those hours are going to be dry, and I think more of the same on Friday and for the weekend. Actually no mention of rain for the weekend. Sunshine mid upper eighties, maybe some low nineties by Father's Day on Sunday in some spots. Okay, all right, we'll look

forward to that. And so when Dad just says I just want to be alone and then I want us to go sit in the yard and do his own thing, it'll be a good weather for that. So with this cheese, it with whatever. I'm not here to judge unless they're cheese nips than in which case that's a problem. All right, thank you, sir, appreciate it. Did you spy reports that they're also in Youngsville, So I'm thinking maybe it's just a wake forest management there as in New York. And

I'm now I'm pissed. So you think it's personal, dude, I want to see. I want to see, like the next time you do your your twitch thing. It's just the whole background is just stacked boxes of the hot wings cheese. It's like you're a toilet paper hoarder. Oh, make it happen, all right, Jeff, But what do you think, Jeff, is cheese? It's never I've never heard of cheese. It though, come on, all right, well we'll find out next hang on keeping you

connected. This is WPTI in the triad and one else next one FM talk in the triangle. Fright, Good morning, it is eight fifty one. Your Bloomberg update now, Jeff Bellinger. What's happening? Well, good morning, casey A. Stocks continued their advance say yesterday. Futures, though are mixed this morning. The now futures are down eighty points. S and P futures are up four. NASDAC futures are up nine. The Federal Reserve announces

its decision on interest rates this afternoon. That'll be followed by a news conference with Fed chair J. Powell. The betting on Wall Street is that the Fed will hold the line on interest rates this time around, possibly leaving the door open for another rate hike next month. Inflation is easing at the wholesale level. The Labor Department just reported the producer price index fell three tenths percent

last month. That was a bigger than expected decline, and the year over year increase was smaller than expected, coming in at one point one percent. Home loan demand picked up last week. Mortgage bankers out with a report today that says there was a more than seven percent increase in applications as more would be HomeBuyer sought financing and more homeowners look to refinance. An announcement from Walt

Disney is no doubt disappointing to a lot of movie fans. The entertainment company is pushing back the releases of new films from its Avatar, Avengers, and Star Wars franchises. The next movies will be out one to three years later than previously planned. Disney did not specify a reason for those delays. A new report says global oil demand is reaching a peak. The International Energy Agency says demand growth will slow over the next few years. The ultimate limit will

arrive this decade as more drivers around the world switched to electric vehicles. And speaking of electric vehicles, Tesla raised the starting price of its Model Y sport utility vehicle by two hundred fifty dollars. It's the third increase in two months that brings the price of that vehicle up to a forty seven thousand, seven hundred forty dollars. And casey, you don't have to try Level two through or even close to Philadelphia to be affected by the collapse of a section of

Interstate ninety five. Transportation Secretary Pete Buddha Judge says the closure of that highway is going to raise the cost of goods transported along the route that runs from Florida to Maine. Casey, all right, appreciate it. I need you to weigh in. We're having a very important cheese it discussion. Are you, first of all, are you cheese it or cheese nip? I don't need a lot of that. I'd say you cheese it though, all right,

favorite flavor. I don't even know they come in different flavors, I'll be honest. Cheese yeah, yeah, yeah. So I found out that they make an extra crispy one. Now and Ross was bemoaning the loss of the Buffalo wing flavor. But apparently it's just the store by his house and it's all a it's a plan to screw him over conspiracy. Jeff, Yeah, so apparently so yeah, So all right, do appreciate it. Thank you. Okay, you have a good day. All right, there you

go. Jeff Balinger when when he thinks the last time eight of cheeseing bi centennial, what are they around that? I don't know, I don't know it craziness. By the way, Boss down some during the big Rocky Apollo Creede fight, which he never which he's never seen. What ah. So Boston Paul, who's by the way, Boston Paul is the worst picture attacher, a picture attacher in the history of email. Oh, this one's right

side up. So he says he I got some cheese it buffalo stuff, and then he sends a bag and it's not even the whole shot of the bag and it just says hot and spicy. That is not correct, right, that is not it. No, so you do not have it. So you lied to everybody and you set your own evidence. We're going to use to uh to prove that. So just you know, FYI on that. Also, you're ready for this. The NC double A is outraged. They're outraged. Why are they out This is so funny? Why are they

outraged? I forgot I had a she Jack clip saying that hold on. It's one of my favorites since we were playing hers earlier. All right, so why are they all? Right? Thank you? They're very upset because they feel that equity is not being met in college women's sports. So going back to twenty twenty one, Supreme Court ruling force the NC double A, the governing body, to change the rules about the nil the name image likeness.

Basically, college athletes, if they want to show up and do an endorsement for a car dealer or for Gatorade or whatever it is, and that company wants to contract with them, they can do it. And there's some college athletes getting paid right now. However, the NC Double A is very upset because they say that there is a double standard in the world of college athletics, whereas men are generally singled out for their ability to excel at the

sport. Right so, if you're the quarterback from Alabama, which has obviously a strong booster program with companies, you're gonna get paid Florida, you're the top player at the UNC, or duke on the basketball team, chances are opportunities will present. However, when they start comparing and contrasting, they now on the female side, they say that athletic prowess has little to do with

it, and they point to the Cavender Twins. Who are these two smoke shows that play for the University of Miami And who's the where's that one gymnast from I see her everywhere. She's got like a gazillion follower she posts little flirty videos. I think she's from L LSU. I think I can't remember her name, but the two twins are making millions of name image likeness. And so the NCAA's mad because apparently advertisers and companies want to partner with hot

college female athletes. You know why, because it works? What are you? What are you gonna do? You're gonna mandate what if I'm an advertiser, I'm I'm the I'm limited to eight, right, so I get a hotness scale of eight, so I can have one eight or two fours? Right? Is that how this works? How are you going to enforce that? I'm sorry that that's who they want to contract with, people who have the most followers on social media, screen presence, whatever. Look, that's

how it's gonna be. It's a double standard because men and women are different. Rent you get, you take the most unfortunate female athlete. I'm not picking on anyone you can take, but if that person has you know, five hundred followers because they don't post a lot of shots of them in their prom dress or whatever, I get a sex sales. But how you're gonna enforce your way out of that. I can't wait to hear what their suggestion is
