Wednesday-08-02-2023

All right, good morning everybody, and how you doing. It is Wednesday, case O Day Radio program. It is the first Wednesday of the month, so that would mean that we are chatting with Lieutenant Governor today, right, yes, okay. Normally my brain doesn't kick up on which Wednesday it is until a little later in the show, but today today we are. We're on it, So we'll chat with Mark Robinson coming up. That'll be an hour of three at eight oh five, So you're gonna have yep,

you're gonna have to stick it out with us for a couple hours. But you know, between indictment insanity and the insane analysis that I watched on about two or three different singular segments, I can't subject myself to just rolling CNN coverage or MSNBC or even Fox for that matter anymore. So I went in and I watched some of the panels. It's pretty easy to find stuff.

And just as you know, just as it always is, this is this is, this is going to be what the third indictment, and then they'll probably be a fourth and the hits keep coming and the walls are closing in the end. Is now what was the other one? They used a lot they had the walls are closing in. I think that was the big one people would make fun of because they put supercuts of different analysts saying the walls are closing in. But man, there was one other that they used to

say all the time. Well, whatever it was, um, you know it was. It was more of the same, albeit with these indictments in DC, which if you look at it long term, if you look at it long term and you look at the analysis of people who I feel tend to get it pretty pretty close. I don't think there's as much confidence in what they brought yesterday versus the mar Lago stuff. But it's the scarier stuff.

And even though Donald Trump would have to in this case face those in DC instead of Florida, the Supreme Court is the you know, the end of the line here. Do I think a Republican, let alone Donald Trump, who what did he get eight percent of the district or something? Do I think that he is he or anyone around him, can get a fair

trial in DC? No, I don't, absolutely not. I think that when you look at voting patterns like that, you see now to be fair, the one crazy m grand jury chicks, she was actually from Atlanta. So, but you know, we've seen some doozies in DC, and so

no, I don't think he can. And you know, there is discussion that you know, what we need is we need a law saying that if you if you do something up in DC and they want to charge you at the federal level, you should be able to adjudicate it back where you live. You know, maybe there's some merit to that, but the fact is Trump's gonna sit there. He'll he'll you know, he'll face it in a

year, maybe maybe even longer on this stuff. And as long as nobody croaks on the Supreme Court, I don't know that what you saw yesterday is really as biggest problem. The mar Lago stuff is likely as biggest problem. So but don't take my word for it. Well, we got audio, we got we got Trump responding, We got everything for you, and including

the Lieutenant governor our number three eight oh five. Oh and uh, if you're if you're leaving right now to go to Florida, UM, do me a favor, just make sure you tune in the next segment because I got some bad news for you. Okay, A little bit of an outbreak down there very old timey. We'll get to that coming up. Hang on the show. After the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search Casey O Day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. All right, good morning if he

is six sixteen. I don't know if you could tell. During the first segment by Peter decided, Hey, you didn't do this thing we needed you to do, so we're gonna shut the window down. So I was just sitting there trying to do that off the memory. But we're we're up and running. So if it ain't one thing, man, but at least we're secure or something for all the stuff you have to do. Yeah, New York Times, just at a yeah, at a couple of doozies. We'll

get. In fact, I'm gonna package deal those coming up here in just a few minutes. But I promised. If you were on your way out the door headed to Florida, you probably want to know leprosy. There's an outbreak of leprosy in central Florida, because why not why not have a leper colony in the middle of Florida. Now, when they say central, basically they have health officials in central Florida. This is from the CDC say the cases of leprosy, also known as Hanson's disease, are surging. Well,

that's horrible. Uh, let's see in in the CDC statement, they say that Central Florida has accounted for eighty one percent of reported cases in the So Central Forida has eighty one percent, and they lead on a per capita basis nationwide. How many people get leprosy every year? Is this still a thing? Let's see here. That's twenty twenty. Okay, so in twenty twenty,

See here's the problem. Can you. I don't trust medical stats from twenty twenty to give an accurate representation because some people didn't avail themselves of certain treatments. I guess when you have leprosy you don't really have a choice. They say there was one hundred and fifty nine cases of leprosy in twenty twenty, Florida doing about a fifth of the business. This year it's over a third. So if you're headed down to Disney, I guess it's further south

than that. But if you're headed down there, there's one more thing for you to worry about. So all right, eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four, So let me hit this New York Times. Two things. So one, the New York Times had a big report out about the spy tools that you heard about where they were abused. One was abused

like two hundred and eighty some thousand times. And when the FBI director was testifying before Congress, what a week and a half ago, he's like, yeah, we got to do a better job on that didn't seem very nonplus by it, and said, well, you know, we're working on four on fixing it. So the New York Times actually wrote some stuff and they were looking for where the spy tool originated. That various because it wasn't just FBI using it, it was various government entities. So the FBI said that

they would investigate. And so then the FBI in this story from the New York Times, this is the this is the headline. Who paid for mysterious spy tool according to the FBI, The FBI did. Yeah. So after this became an issue, the FBI said that they launched an investigation to determine who in the US government had had this spy tool, either constructed or purchased or whatever. And after a thorough investigation, they determined it was them.

They literally did the spider man mean? So they drug this out from the hearing and then went But apparently they don't know to the point where they have to look, even though this was something that was focused on for almost an entire hearing, They have to do an internal investigation because nobody at the FBI knows that the other person at the FBI, you know, one one division had this thing built and now it's utilized not just by the FBI but by

various other governmental entities and abuse two hundred and eighty seven thousand times last year. So that's number one. Number two. The New York Times is covering what's going on in South Africa. You know, obviously there's a lot of history there. There are certain political interests and individuals who we're holding some big rallies and they were they were telling individuals to see the beef is that the

majority of the agricultural land is still owned by white South Africans. So even though you know, post Apartheide, things changed and there was a lot more power that was given over to non white South Africans, land ownership was not among those that was redistributed significantly. Some of it was well that's the beef and so there there was a rally. Somebody said, hey, you gotta go get him, and an older white South African farmer had his throat slit

by four individuals. Now, whether it's all connected, it doesn't matter, because everybody's mad at each other. Everybody's upset at each other. So that's you know, that's it's that's that's the standing. Uh, just the way things are. But all it takes is a little bit of somebody calling on individuals to do things and there was almost immediate reaction. So tensions are beyond high. People are posting videos, some of which are like years old and

mislabeling it. Whether they don't know where they're doing and intentionally, it doesn't matter. Those folks, though, on social media, who would post videos like that knowing, you know, knowing that it's going to cause confusion. They're the ones that everyone screams about, saying that Elon Musk, you know, invited back on the Twitter platform. But then the New York Times is literally as bad as them. Case in point, the New York Times things

cracking out again. Here we go. The New York Times, in covering the white South African protest of the farmer who was killed. The farmer who was murdered put the following headline and subheadline out yesterday. Quote killing of white farmer becomes a flashpoint in South Africa outside a court hearing for two black suspects in a murder case, White Afrikaners nostalgic for the apartheid era and black protesters angry that white still own most farmland. So they're nostalgic for apartheid? How

do you how do you know that? How do you determine that somebody's nostalgic

for you know? Once that I couldn't say, couldn't there be people in the middle where they think, all right, well, like maybe that's wrong, but also maybe going and murdering farmers is wrong, and so we don't have to do apartheide, but maybe we shouldn't basically be on the cusp of a racial civil war because I feel like the New York Times just decided to skip over that remote possibility that there are individuals who don't want to murder each

other but also don't want a parteid. But nope, no, they're there. They're protesting, and the people they're protesting are the the favorite of the New York Times. So yes, nostalgic for the apartheid era. The amount of projection is absolutely amazing. But that's New York Times. So you tell me who's the real journalist and then get back to me on some guy posting a video trolling people. That's that's a dude. Who's Who's Twitter? Twitter?

And picture is like a Rennan Stimpy cartoons. Still, this is the New York Times claiming to be the the Gray Lady, the Arbiter of Information, America's newspaper, and they've decided that anyone who doesn't want murdered on their own farm is wanting the apartheid back. So good stuff. Appreciate the contribution. All right, let me get into a little audio here by the way, Oh I saw Ross did rip this down? Okay, dude, do do do do? So? Um the but no, no, hold on

the kill the boy? Is this the coffin thing? Ross? I'm sorry, that's that's the thing they were doing in South Africa. I know exactly where it was. It was one of the biggest political parties and they were all on stage and chanting kill the board, kill the farmer, right right right right right, Yeah, this is okay, all right, That's why

I didn't played at first. I thought it was the So one of the things that is floating around is people are posting a video of a in South Africa, a black man being essentially shut in a coffin and implying that he was buried and it's some you know, race war thing it and he died. None of that is true. I mean, it is true that he was It is true he was put in the coffin, and literally there's a

trial over it and the people who did it. It's something that didn't just happen, but is part of these larger back and force and between that and landownership led people to hold this big rally that Ross did pull the audio from. So um, let me get this m D the poor, da, the poor, the fao pah pah, all right, I don't need the sound effects there. But yeah, yeah, things are a little dicey.

Um. But again, assigning anyone who would oppose that which many people argue led directly to the murder of this farmer by these for individuals, maybe you're projecting when you say that they just want to part tied back. So but hey, that's just me Ross. What were you saying. I'm sorry you were saying something before I played the audio. No, I'm saying I hadn't heard that story. You were saying, it's just I was gonna say with

the audio from the political rally. Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, Well it's it's it's a short video and there's there was what is what is the guy's name on Twitter? Who I swear he intentionally mislabels videos, but he's trolling people such a delicate line. And he was just suspended the other day, was don Luke Prey or whatever. I saw that video and people were assuming that it just happened, and I'm like, no, no, no, I remember this. This is bad. But the dudes

alive. He was. He's literally watching people as they're on trial for what they did to him. So, all right, more on the Biden insanity coming up. Thank you. Casey is UPTI in the triad and one oh six one FM talk in the Triangle. All right, welcome back, six thirty five. You're on your Wednesday morning. Dude. They didn't extrapulate this in the story, but they probably should have. It's the story is about

Jason Aldean. Obviously you had people freaking out over the music video for the song because apparently he doesn't like people burning his towndown and that became a issue where CMT wasn't going to show the video and the people responded and that that song, Jason Aldean's latest song shot to number one. But it's more than that. If you look at the Billboard Hot one hundred, all right, so this is all the music, this is not country, this is all

the stuff out there. For the first time, the top three spots are in fact country artists, which a pad guess apparently has never been a thing with the Billboard Hot one hundred. What's interesting about it is, if you look down, each of the three have had some beef to some extent with the woke mob and and and somewhat recently so Aldane obviously with his Try That in a Small Town song that's number one on the Hot one hundred, followed by Morgan Wallen. What he was canceled for like a year, right,

and what was it? It was some old tweets or video or something. I don't even he used some language. He used some racist, racist language and um, but anyway, he's back. He's at number two, number three is Luke Combs, who is on there because of the Tracy Chapman Fast Car cover, which, as we discussed last last week, is very troubling somehow, except it's not for literally anybody. And when you look at Luke

Combs talk about it, he's a huge Tracy Chapman fan. But the Washington Post, the New York Times and the rest have to write their stories and get various experts in there to talk about how this is, um, this is the repurposing of music, and all music has been repurposed on a racial scale. And meanwhile, most people are just listening to the song, going that's cool. Hey, let me listen to the old one too. But yeah, they're top three, and all to some extent have been criticized in

the form of Combs. Wallen was canceled, and all Dean is in the process of getting whatever they feel punishment should be coome in his way, and America is like, now, these are our three favorite songs, so Pounds sand those are those are the ones we're going to listen to, which I don't know, man, I think that's that's kind of interesting, and maybe it is indicative of people going, you know what I'm done with this.

I'm done with you telling me who is and isn't available for me to listen to their music, watch them act, listen to their radio show, or watch the video that they created. I'm I'm out there and I'm gonna do it. And I want to listen to these three guys even though you got a problem with them. So will that continue? I don't know, but it would be at least a step in the right direction there, So all right eight eight, eight, nine, three four seven, eight seventy four.

I want to be on the show now. Not everything is hunky dorry in the world of music. Unfortunately, apparently Lizzo is having some issues. According to report by three of Lizzo's former dancers, the FluTEST and singer dancer creates a hostile work environment and may have sexually harassed people. This part of a lawsuit filed Tuesday. They allege that she was was fat shaming them.

Lizzo was fat shaming her dancers. Isn't that Lizzo's whole thing? And and I just saw like two still frames of of her of her dancers, and she is larger than any of the dancers in those photos. I don't know if those are always the dancers or what the deal is. But if you're fat shaming and you're Lizzo, and I mean I understand that you're the star there, plus perhaps there's even some sexual harassment. I can't figure out how that works. Like, listen, listen, only Lizzo is allowed to eat

the cake. Okay, what the cake there? And the green that's Lizzo's back off dancer, all of the cake. So you think that, how how how is this? So do you think maybe she's shaming them for being too skinny? I like, I don't know how that conversation. How how Lizzo rolls up to one of her dancers and it's like, you know what, you're putting on some weight because Lizzo is beautiful. You know, Lizzo is a beautiful queen. Yeah yeah, right, body positive positivity and a

celebration of the new feminine mystique. Right. But the dancer though that they are not queens and they are not Lizzo, and they need to back away from the cake. They too much cake. Don't even think about the cake. I'll bet the cake a pig, you know what I'm saying. Oh, I bet backstage at a Lizzo concert. It's probably like that. It's like that Delhi they show in New York where like they piled up ASTROMI like

seven foot high. Oh yeah, you get the cornbeefstram Yeah, yeah, yeah, and those are and they're but they're all on like finger size little things, big long toothpicks. Man. You know, some of the you know, the bands will dictate what people get to eat, and some of the staff too. So like when I was doing concerts, we'd be at the mercy of whatever weirdness whoever was playing thought would would be appropriate, and most of them let their their staff handle it, but some wanted to impart

what it is that they like to eat upon you. And so then there was you know, just be like some vegan, weird vegan collection of something and you're just like, man, I've been busting my butt all day. I am starving, and uh we have watercress and uh, you know, Lettuce, this is this is horrible. So she can control it. It's on her as the point that I'm making, it's in her rider. So if she thinks the dances are putting on some weight and this is a beef

that she then don't cater for them, It's very simple. Or do it in public now and have it be part of a lawsuit. Lizzo, whose real name is Melissa Vivian Jefferson, named as the defendant, along with her production company and Arlene Quigley, who is the dance captain, who I guess is in the lawsuit, says is the lawsuit says she's the one that Lizzo would give the orders to if she didn't do it herself, and then make her go fat shame the girls too. So I don't know, it's it's

a mess. I really don't care. I'm not going to a Lizzo concert anytime soon. But when I read the headline, I had to envision what this must look like, and I had some questions. So you know, feel free to do your research, all right. Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. And we need a craft services, big old those bigger Now. I want one of those big old Delhi sandwiches up at the Carnegie Delhi or wherever. That would be so good. All right,

um, we have well, let me let me do this. We'll go ahead and take the break. We have a I guess a wonderful way to you know, get get a little money into the hands is some of your favorite D list celebrities from back in the day, people you haven't you haven't thought of for for a very long time. But also a a cop out,

I guess would be the play way to say it. I'll explain what this is coming up here on the case O Day radio program, Thank You Casey is PTI in the Triad and one oh six one FM Talk in the

Triangle. So do you guys know what cameo is. Cameo is a service where you can go and you can have made for you by a celebrity of varying calibers based on basically how much money you want to spend a little message, right, so you could you know, you can go on there and you can have William Hung, who is actually in this Wall Street Journal article, you can have him record like a little video message for you know, a friend or like it's their birthday and they really like William Hung. Whatever

it is, and it's it's pretty reasonable in some instances. There's a lot of Dalist celebrities on there, so it's not as expensive as you would think. However, Cameo's seen a little bit of a trend, and the Wall Street Journal wrote a piece on this. I'm a little creeped out by this, but I don't know. Maybe you think this is a good idea away from the typical utilization of the more affordable celebrities on here to wish people happy

birthday, happy graduation, whatever it is. Now more and more people are

paying celebrities to deliver bad news for them. So if you got some bad news and you don't want to actually have the conversation with somebody, and you don't want to just be the guy who texted them, you want to do something a little more, you can hire William Hung or somebody from a show called vander Pump Rules that should I know that show that's got to be some weird MTV show or something right, well, whatever, you can hire them. William Hung is just thirty dollars, by the way, to record your

message like I'm divorcing you, or we're breaking up or I quit. Those are the three most popular according to cameo man, m I guess, I look, I guess. If you're divorcing somebody and you're all bitter and cheese about whatever brought it forward and this will make you feel better than you know. Whatever, do it. The tragedy is we're Ross and I were talking

about this. The people we would really want to hire if we were to create I'm Divorcing You video are dead, but would have been like Sam Kinison, would have been amazing. Yea, Ross's like Gilbert Godfrey. Can you imagine Can you imagine Sam Kinison or Gilbert Godfrey explaining to your soon to be ex spouse what's up in their very tender and soft delivery way of communicating information?

Dude, that'd be that'd be hilarious. They say, roughly five thousand requests this is uh in the last three years for instructions that include divorce in there, However, over half of them came in the last year two thousand for breakups. Uh in a thousand people thus far quitting their jobs. Oh what is this people are telling me? They use cameo had Randy Travis and his wife to a birthday greeting? Okay, was he upright? I like Randy Travis. He just he had the he had a little incident there in

Texas. But what was it? It was like a trans am or ah, he like drove into a ditch or something really crazy drunk. Yeah, and then he was naked on the road, lay laying on the road. He had gotten out. He wasn't ejected or anything, but they found him naked laying on the road. Man, I mean, I mean we've all been there. Well, I no, I've never never nakedly laid on the road. Wait wait, wait wait it's a I say it. I mean we've all been there? Right, Oh, thank you AI Power by Rose

AI. That really appreciate that. In fact, I'm trying to yeah, where is Yeah? I did have a parody song last night. I pulled a bush light out from Oh no, that's not it. Oh yeah, no, okay, uh where is the good one? Now? I'm sorry, I'm just going it's all nostalgic now in my head because I had forgotten all about we had like multiple parody songs. This was years ago, but it was here on this show. For some reason. I was thinking it was when I was still back in Minneapolis. I may have to look at

that. But you know, if you got the Randy Travis thing and you were happy with it, it served its purpose. I just think there's something more but about you know, divorcing your spouse with um one of the guys from Flavor of Love or one of the girls from Flavor of Love, which are available, by the way, which one is? Is it New Yorker Hoops? I don't know it's it's in the article it mentions it. I still can't believe he went with hoops. What the flavor flavor? He chose

hoops in the first season over New York. How do you know that? Because we watched it. We watched every we loved it, Marky and I, oh every episode. And on Sunday I think, yeah, I remember watching one episode, but it wasn't when he was him. It was um who did they have the rocker on? There? Was it? Vince Neil? No? Who who was the other the other one? They did favor Rock of Love? Right, I remember watching it. No, it was the dude with the every every Rose has its thorn, the guy from Poison

Poison Yeah, okay, yeah, yeah, yeah. I watched part of that. And then I saw they were doing the Flavor of and and I said I would like to watch an episode just because I don't know how he is able to communicate, and like, yeah, I'm saying it was a training coherent Yeah, it was so good. So how are you having conversations? How are you getting to know the young ladies there? Find out their

interest? He got to know a lot of them in the shower. Apparently, when you're a hip hop star like Flavor Flavor, that's where you really get to know people. It's in the shower. Oh okay, all right, well look I'm not a hip hop star, so what do I know. I just I just envision I remember envisioning in my head. How is that man going to communicate with women during those little like where they cut and there's on the dating shows and they're sitting outside on the patio having this discussion

which has all these sexual undertones. You're telling me he didn't. He did. He just skipped all that and went right to the shower. That's just it's his intellect and it's his charisma. Yeah, and it's been account and on the intellecting charisma and and what else. It's a very nice it's a nice shower. Oh the tiling and stuff. Yeah, I mean it's so nice. You ever you've ever been in one of the steam showers. It has like the eight different events or the waters out. Oh, that's amazing.

And I'm sure it was probably something along those lines. So who am I to U? I just remember how trashy all the girls were for poison, and I couldn't even imagine what they had lined up for flavor Flavor what, oh, dude, the epitome of class. Did they at least did they at least have like one one woman in there who's like an MIT professor, just so we can be like, what the hell is she doing there

with you now? And I don't remember, Oh I've been flavor flav if you didn't go in the shower, you were voted off, you know, five for five bucks, I'll relay bad news to whoever you want, and it won't even be through cameo. I'll be from my direct phone to their direct phone, because in cameo there's like a barrier, like, yeah, this isn't real. It's there a website. But if you direct message from my phone everything, but like term, I'm not gonna give news like somebody's

dying of a terminal disease. But i'd be like a divorce or you know, I quit my job, or I'll do that five bucks. I'll do it as as somebody else, like for ten bucks. I'll do it as a celebrity, so I will do it as Sean Connery. Whoever you want, or you should up. William Hung is getting thirty, you should get more. It's a good point, but it can be anything like I ate the little I ate the last of the ice cream. I'm sorry. Right,

you're gonna be a busy, busy guy. All right, well there you go yet another side hustle, and this something very weak when he established the new ross Ai company. So busy, busy dude. All right, two more hours to go, hang loose. News is that morning and welcome

It is our number two here on the case O Day radio program. So we were talking a little celebrity cameo stuff because apparently it's becoming a thing for people who want to announce, and the majority of them seem to be divorces to their soon to be espoused they don't want to tell them, so they want somebody who is marginally famous for about fifty to one hundred dollars that'll do it for him or cheaper in the in the case of William Hung is charging

thirty and Ross's charging five, but he's not technically a cameo thing. So um, all right, whatever do you think maybe that might have contribute to your marriage troubles, your incessant need to make a make a you'd make the cameo, but then you make the video about the cameo and presenting it to your soon to be spouse and you throw that on TikTok or YouTube or something and you get you get clout man, So that sounds like a clout move

because you're sharing that. If you go and you get a cameo to announce to your X that it's time to be X. Is you know you're sharing that with all your friends because you think you're so clever. So I don't know, maybe if you've got to have that kind of conversation, better better off you in the person if you can, I guess. Let me grab a call here, Dennis. What's up? Hey? Are you doing today? Uh? You know, just uh, just hanging in there in middle

of the week, sir. So we're we're we're making strides. What can I do for you? Oh? Hey, the late great art I would learn to get a video audio. Yeah, you know, I can send out a bad message to somebody. Uh like when he was at when he was doing his show, back in the day, seems playhouse. Could you imagine getting the audio and a video from the big blue talking chair up? Yeah? Um, okay, well again, what's that? What's that? Ros said? Oh? Here, absolutely, cherry would cost more. That's

okay, it'd be well worth it. You're on you're on creepy level. Not you personally, sure, but anyone who was getting a kids entertainer to divorce their spouse, Um, I don't know what. There you go? Hey, what what ross? Quick day? What is your pro rail again? I heard it the other day and I was trying to mimic it, but I need to hear it one more time. I don't feel like that today though. You can pick every day. So all right, man, hey, you guys have a great day. All right, thank you,

sir. I appreciate it. All right. So he's going peewee Herman kids entertainment. I mean, yeah, I guess if you're if you're gonna, if you're going to do something like that, the weirder the better, considering it's not a birthday. Yeah, but he wants like all the extras. He wants Cherry and miss A Vaughan and you know Mecha Lekahi mecahiny Hoe. That's gonna cause extra right, I'm assuming yeah, I'm assuming it's not a group rate on cameo where you get like the whole cast. No, everyone's

everyone's gonna want to get paid. And I guess my question is how bad do you want to divorce this person and make a spectacle out of it? And if the answer is very bad, then, uh, you know, tal him up, round him up. I've seen some cameos that had a couple of different people doing different parts, so, um, you know and anything. Hey, if you got the money, I guess you can make

it happen. All right, let me flip over to this. So yesterday it was announced that Trump would be indicted in Washington, d C. This is uh obviously a different issue than Marlago. When you start looking at the courts. The judge that he was apparently assigned has been one of the harshest January six judges. And I was looking up a little bioever she was She used to rep Theara Nos prior to I guess her time in being a judge, So that goes back a little bit there. When was she appointed?

So she was appointed under Obama? Yeah, and she is she is referred to as the punisher. So you couple that with what is likely to be a jury pool that consists of ninety two percent Democrats, and that thing's going to be a spectacle. But it's not going to be a spectacle probably for quite some time. Also indicted with Trump five of his lawyers or four lawyers, excuse me, and a political consultant among them, Juliani Eastman, you

know, names that you heard after the election. So and it just so happened to also be on a day where the news cycle had been shoot up by the testimony of Devin Archer on Monday, and everyone was discussing it, not honestly, some people were, you know, still doing the Hey, he's a loving father. Of course he's going to show up when he sees his son sitting there talking to some people. Then talk about the weather. Nothing to see here. You heard Dan Goldman try to put a summation together

yesterday, and he's like, he's like the Republican's best guy. The problem is he's a Democrat from New York. Every time he talks or asks a question, he gets something on record such as this now pivot from he never talked to him about business to who he was never in business. And uh yeah, all right, so this is the Trump thing here. Sorry, I was moving something around on this, and this is Trump's response to the indictment. It does, it doesn't sound assimilar to the other ones. But

for what it's worth, here we go. Is it a very dark place right now, But even after everything the deep state has done to me, I will never give up an America, mark my words. In twenty twenty four, we will win back the White House. We will make America great again. I have no doubt about it. They come at me from left, they come at me from right, the Rhinos, the communist, the Marxist, the fascists. We will not only survive, we will be stronger

than ever before. We're fighting a fight like nobody ever thought possible, and we're winning. We won in twenty sixteen, We had a rigged election in twenty twenty, but got more votes than any sitting president. All right, so you know basically what you've heard at his rallies, and of course,

in response to the Marlago thing and really any of the courts. Yesterday, literally as this indictment is being announced, there was a poll released that the New York Times did and it shows Biden and Trump at forty three percent each, So a dead heat. And I remember it's a New York Times poll two, so I suspect that thing's going to go the opposite direction of what New York Times is probably thinking. Who is the partner on it? Well,

it's a New York Times poll ticket for what it's worth. Obviously there's other polls that have Trump up, others that have Biden up. But you know, a dead heat on indictment day when everyone knew it was coming because they've been talking about it for a week, and you still get registered voters at dead split. Nobody's buying what's going on here? Is what that tells me. And so the question is going to be all about timing, right, So what is when are they able to get this the one court case

they want to start? What was it about two months out from the end of the primary? So you're going to get then the meat of it through the presidential Will there be gag orders so his opponents can sit there and talk about it, but he can't talk about it. This all of this as as we find out more from this judge and what our process is going to be in What Jack Smith is asking for will be hugely impactful on the election.

And I guess the dream scenario is that they are able to get him on a charge where he can't run right of a constitutional violation and he would then be ineligible to hold the office of president. But it's all legal theory. So that's the expanse. That's the response that was expected. And then the conversation obviously dipped away from Hunter Biden and Joe Biden and Devin Archer too.

Well, what you're going to hear most of the day to day and that is prognosticators talking about how the end, the end is nigh for Donald Trump. All right, seven sixteen case O Day Radio program. Hang on, this is one oh six one FM Talk in a triangle and nearest talk WUPTI in the triad. All right, good morning, it is seven twenty

one streeting. An interesting little article here. More NFL players, yet just in their twenties, fully roster ready are making the decision to retire, including a former number one pick, what is his Jalen Hurd, who was or was I guess a wide receiver for the Patriots. So he's out. That marks three players in their twenties who said I got my money and I'm done with this. I think you're going to see more of that. You remember who who was it who kind of tapped out early back in the day,

well from a Minnesota Vikings perspective, Robert Smith. Robert Smith. He he surprised everyone when he decided not to resign with the Vikings, and he was a hell of a running back. Didn't Barry Sanders bug out a little early too? Trying to remember, I think? And then obviously I think the most famous recently was the quarterback Andrew Luck who was the Camp Miss quarterback. And sure enough he came into the league, played really well, and then

just one day said I'm done. And now everyone in uh Colts Country hates him, but I don't. I don't blame him. When you start, when you start looking at the beating you're taking, the amount of money that you're making, how much you actually need. Go go get yourself a nice beach place in the Caribbean or something, and don't have two a days. It'll be fine. So who are the other two I'm trying to see in this story? Oh, then they don't put it. They just say he's

the third. Oh no, here we go, yeah yeah, yeah wow. Well and then John Ross, I guess is one of them. And the story is very poorly put together. Well anyway, I would expect that to to pick up, especially among running backs now, but that'll be a discussion as we get nearer to the old football there. All right, this one right here, man Neil Degrass Tyson. You know, Frankly, Tyson could stay out of all of this gender stuff, right He's not in this

unless he wants to be in it. Nobody's I haven't heard anyone demand his opinion of this. He can talk as an astrophysicist about stuff. That's what he does, and he's very entertaining when he does it. He has a large following his videos on YouTube, the little shorts that he does. I think they're great. But no, he decided to weigh in on this, and you know this is this is a guy that if you asked, hey, name like two famous scientists right now, I think that a lot of

people would include Tyson just due to how high profile he is. So he decides he wants to get in and to do it, he's going to use the worst explanation an example, in defense of, you know, putting children through sex change operations, that I think you could come up with here it

is. My point is, apparently the xx x Y chromosomes are insufficient because when we wake up in the morning, we exaggerate whatever feature we want to portray the gender of our choice, either the one you're assigned, the one you choose to be, whatever it is, and so now here so so now, just to tie a bow on this, I say to you, somewhere I read somewhere, I think I read that the United States was a land where we have the pursuit of happiness. Yes, suppose, no matter

my chromosomes. Today I feel eighty percent female, twenty percent. Man, I'm gonna I'm gonna put on makeup. I'm gonna do that. Tomorrow I might feel eighty percent. Now I'll remove the makeup and I'll wear a muscle shirt. Why do you care? Yeah? What? What? Why? What business is it of yours to require? Did I fulfill your inability to think of gender on a spectrum? All right? So a longer cut there.

But there's two things I want to hit. One. He starts it off with the xx x Y chromosomes are what does What does he say not that My point is apparently the xx xy chronosome efficient are insufficient. I don't know. Um, they've they've worked pretty well for us. And then what he's talking about is the softest sale example of what people are not talking about. Right. They're not talking about somebody who gets up and goes, I'm gonna wear makeup today or I'm not, or I'm gonna wear a muscle shirt

or I'm not. They're talking about if that person wearing makeup or the muscle shirt is in a locker room in some cases with children, and they are they're still you know, x, y or xx, depending on where they were born, where they started, and now they're in the opposite locker room, or they're competing against people in sports. This is this is what people are, This is what the laws, this is what the discussion is about.

And then the most heinous in some people's minds is when you take a kid who is four or five and you see these stories and they say, you know, uh, Johnny liked to you like to play with the sisters dolls, and and so we've helped funnel him into and now he is now he's Janey and we're doing hormone therapy. We're not going to let him have puberty, and eventually we'll we'll we'll do the surgery. And you're sitting there going, you know what, when I was four, or if you have

a kid, you're like my four year old. What interested the four year old is wildly different than what they're interested in just two years later. So how do you make a decision like that? How do you as a doctor stop puberty from happening at the request of the parents. That's what this debate is about. It's not about muscle shirts or makeup, and so really really lazy on his part, and I don't understand why he wants to get into it. This is not his wheelhouse. Smart talk all day, w PTI

in the Triad and one oh six one FM talked in the Triangle. Understand that. But it's one that I think a lot of people arrived at. But is not a acceptable line of discussion on CNN, And that is is Hunter Biden a scumbag? All right? Well, look, you're deaf indition to scumbag mine as well. Probably a lot of similarities, but there'll be

a few things that are different. But for all practical purposes if you're analyzing his behavior, and not just the photos of him with the hookers and and and um the crack, but rather the actions of spending years essentially trying to run them your your offspring, and you're the mother of your offspring into the

ground, the illegal proceedings, the insane way. When you actually read some of Hunter's texts and things that were on the cloud that he interacts with people, the getting with your dead brother's wife, some people may pass judgment on that. Um do I need to go on? Well, on CNN, that exact topic was was broached by one of the panelists and they were not having it. Check this out. Hold on, here we go. The president has made being a family man a central part of his political identity.

Uh, it's not Republicans, with all due respect, who made Hunter Biden into a complete scumbag on this and other issues. All right, hold on, So this is this is Scott Jennings. He is the he's the the whipping boy on CNN in the sense that he's he's supposed to be the conservative panelist and basically just troll everybody else on there. It was kind of like what one Williams did on the on the five right. So he's got that opinion. And in this case, it's evaluating whether he's a he's a scumbag.

It's not even a legal thing. And I think a lot of people, with all the actions they've seen, have arised at that. So Jennings throws it out there and the rest of the panels simply can't deal with it. The ignoring his own daughter for four years and the present United States hanging up a stocking for the dog, I mean, not for his seventh grand shop. We can also have see, we can also have sympathy for people

who are struggling with addiction. Let's keep this conversation respect. I listen, I totally agree, and you know where I'm from, a lot of families deal with addiction, and you know who ends up picking up the pieces the grandparents, And in this case, the grandparents would not acknowledge this little girl. It is offensive. But the bottom line is the poll Oh what a

hero. The polling must have been brutal, making must have been brutally rather questioned the heart and integrity of Joe Biden as a family man and as a human being, and the pain and suffering and loss that that man has been through. Look, I know people that can stack up their life experience and especially when it comes to the pain and loss that they've dealt with. Um obviously addiction issues uh in in families and like blow blow Joe Biden out of

the water. Yeah, Look, I'm fully aware of what happened with his son. I'm fully aware of what happened with his first wife. We we got that. I suspect there are people that have a much more troubled path out there. That being said, this is one his kid too. This Joe Biden is a family man narrative that has been in the news cycle now for a week. Everybody, everybody under the sun that is a supporter of Biden is tweeting out this this same analysis where he's just he's just a compassionate

guy. He's trying to help his son. And it started with he'd never discussed any of this with his son, and now he's just being compassionate by helping him, you know, get his and I and again, I understand that motivation in the sense that you want somebody who is dealing with addiction issues and making a lot of bad choices to maybe get something stable in their life that can help propel them forward, perhaps to um, you know what you

always expected of him. But I just don't get that vibe here, Like all I see is enabling. And then I see the payments for the Porsche that he was he was gifted by the folks. Where was a hungry, hungry bottom of Porsche. And then I see the unanswered questions. I see the inability to deal with it. I see the throwing the gun in the dumpster next to a school, and I have to ask myself, with all this going on and everything that we know that Joe Biden enabled and maybe participated

in, where does this narrative go next? Right? Because first he didn't talk about it, then he was there talking about the weather, and I think as you get more information out there, they'll attempt to use this. He's a family man, compassionate for his son as justification for maybe he did maybe he did know that he was being used essentially as the product for Hunter

Biden's ability to extract money from these folks. Look, I can get the vice president here at our table, but he was just doing that because he's compassionate. This is going to be a never ending cycle. Meanwhile, there is. Now they're saying there could be a fourth set of indictments for Trump. The judge in the Trump case also worked at the same law firm that Hunter Biden worked at. Oh yeah, man, it's the reason nobody trusts

what you guys are doing. And the reason why Trump has forty three percent Joe Biden's got forty three percent is because about half of the country has decided that anything that you're doing from an indictment standpoint with in DC or mar Lago, they're not gonna They're not even gonna listen to it, even if they believe it happened. They're looking at the way in which the Bidens are able to operate, and if you ask questions, they're just compassionate family. Meanwhile,

Trump's family was attacked every single day. Now. Some of them chose to be part of the process, and that's what happens when you get into politics. But some of them didn't. What's the what's the one daughter from his previous marriage, Uh, tiff Tiffany, Right, Tiffany wasn't in on this stuff. They savaged her. I think they weren't. They even they were going after Baron for the you know, talking about always on the spectrum, right, and they have no knowledge of what's going on with him other

than the fact that he's like seven feet tall. That kid's crazy if you look at a picture of him now, So, uh, save save me all that garbage, okay, all right? Eight eight, eight nine three four seven, eight seventy four. Yeah, the DC judge worked for the law firm that employed Hunter Biden. It's it's a very small pool of all the same people whose names come up again and again in many cases in different

jobs throughout the years. The judge's name is Tanya Shutkin yep. Spent twelve years for Boys, Schiller and Flexner, which was the It's actually a pretty big law firm, and it's basically it's a funnel for Democrats. Some that go into become politicians, some that obviously go on to be judges, and then most of the clients and the work that they do is surrounding democratic politics. So there's a lot of people that go through there. And I'm not

surprised. All right. Seven forty three race agent from the weather Channel. He never worked for that law firm, so you can trust him what you got weatherwise, Sir, should be in good shape. Probably for one more day today tomorrow. So after today, one more day and then Thursday night to Friday, we'll start to see the weather go downhill just a bit with

some showers thunderstorm scene. Multiple complexes come through the Midwest and kind of in this northwest flow weekend as they've gotten closer and closer, today's going through Saint Louis and near Saint Joseph in Missouri, quinc and in through Iowa, diving off to the east and southeast heading into Kentucky and give a Tennessee and that one will weekend, and so we'll end up with sunshine and some clouds and have mid and upper eighties today, and then tomorrow see a little more cloud

come in from the next area of rain and thunderstorms. That's going to get a little closer, and we'll get up to the mid eighties tomorrow, and then we'll get showers and thunderstorms tomorrow night into Friday, and Friday's highs with the extra cloud covering, good chances of showers and storms cooler in the mid to upper seventies. But as I mentioned all week, that's going to be short lived because by the weekend we're partly to mostly sunny mid upper eighties.

Triangle might hit ninety degrees, especially by Sunday, so I have to watch this pretty closely. I don't think severe weather, but it certainly does look like out of the next few days that Friday is going to be our best chance of getting some wet weather in here. All right, thank you sir, we'll chatting an hour. Appreciate it, Okay, And when we come

back, who do North Carolinians trust on the issue of public education? Well, we got another poll and this was conducted by Democrats for education reform, and I don't think it shows what they wanted to show. We'll give you the details coming up next show. After the show is on the iHeartRadio app. Search Casey O Day for the podcast on the iHeartRadio app. Oh boy, I don't know about all this. Facial analysts claims humans are becoming less

attractive with every new generation. Really, you ever, do you ever see an old timey picture? Maybe maybe the ones I haven't printed in my brain are mostly like pictures of like people out west right, because obviously it's where I grew up. But you know, you get some pictures of folks around I don't know civil Warish era, you're dealing with a lot of handsome folks

or I don't know how to quantify that. I but maybe maybe it's um when you're talking about the size that people are obviously that is that is worse than than it has been. But I don't know. You look at you look at a photo of um. They had, They had the big they had these big, big, big, mural sized photos in this museum where I grew up, Jim Jim Gatchell Museum, and they had like the first

two hundred residents of Buffalo or whatever in there. Uh. And I went and looked at it because I have family members in there, and I remember thinking, even as a kid, I'm like, man, life's life's life's life's dealing out a very hard go of it for these folks, which obviously it was. But I don't know how you I guess, if you want to look, maybe in the nineteen fifties, but according to researchers, this date's back well before that. Let's see what is now? What is he

choking it up to? Yeah, here we go. The average person's face is becoming increasingly disadvantaged by modern diet, sleep patterns, pollutants, and oral facial habits. Well, what is an oral facial I don't even want to know. Yeah, yeah, yeah, but they can do surgery too, so you know, that's that's something that's kind of new, and I don't know, maybe maybe it's just in whatever era you're in, you just think

everything's normal, because that's probably how most people see this. So, but just know you're uglier than your forefathers, at least according to this individual. All right, So education, we'll get into this. Lieutenant governor coming up a pretty interesting swing. Normally, when you pull voters over who they trust more on certain issues, there's there are there are certain seg mints that always kind of end up in like a double digit lead and generally don't move Like

national defense, Republicans tend to win that. Schools, though, has always been a Democrat thing, and in fact, a double digit lead in polling for years and years is what was to be expected. However, a new poll conducted by the Democrats for Education Reform said that that has switched. The poll, conducted on July twenty eight, focused on North Carolina, Arizona, Georgia, Nevada, and it now shows Democrats trailing Republicans by three point margin

when it comes to who they trust most on education. Case you in case you want to know how dismal people feel that the current public education system is like. This is even pre arguing about charter or voucher for private schools. This is just people evaluating what's going on right now and realizing that the people that they've trusted for almost every other poll that's been put out that follows this

stuff are doing a crap job of it. And while we may agree or disagree on what you need to do to fix it, they're not happy with it. In fact, let's see here, public schools are preparing students. This is one of the questions they ask public schools are preparing students for success after high school by ensuring they are teaching students to read and do math well.

Who's agreeing with that? And the answer is not a lot of people, less than thirty thirty three and thirty six percent, respectively, actually believe that students are getting taught to read and do math well. So then when you get into the next question is all right, well, then who do you want run in the system If you think it's broken and they want the Republicans, it's The highest approval rating among the four states surveyed was right here

in North Carolina. Forty percent of voters placed their trust and Republicans, while only thirty two percent of North Carolina voters say they have more confidence in the Democrats when it comes to public education. And if you're this democratic, the Democratic activists and group that ordered this, that's going to make your head spin because the narrative you've been running is Republicans want to do away with public education.

So how when the hell could voters have more trust in them? And I think maybe you need to look back at what your policies are, what's your teaching kids, what parents just found out during the pandemic, how they felt when they couldn't understand the teachers unions. They're on the national level sitting there and concocting these ways to not have to have school start again, and then to run around and try to take credit for getting kids back in school.

Is this is all of the trust that you squandered. This is people having their eyes open to what their kids were learning. And the net result is a what is normally a double digit win for Democrats is now a slight wind for Republicans. And right around the time they're saying, hey, maybe one of the things we need to do is vouchers. Obviously a big topic

of discussion. We'll get into this with the Lieutenant Governor coming up. I am curious as they wrangle with the budget taken a little longer than they thought. The governor's trying to get them to strip Medicaid out and do its own thing there. How committed to reforming education and allowing access for families and not just the wealthiest of families, but families in general in North Carolina to maybe create a little competition in the education market. How high of a priority is

that. We'll talk to Mark about that coming up. What is this? The CEO of Democrats for Education Reform acknowledge the trend same voters, especially parents, desire more choice and Republicans are capitalizing. Oh they're pouncing, I got you, or they're saying, hey, you want more choice than maybe we should make it so that you know you can have more choice. But pouncing, it's all pouncing. All right, back another hour ago. Lieutenant Governor

Mark Walker joins us, and we'll start in education. Got a few things to cover coming up next. All right, good morning, everybody. It is Wednesday, our number three and uh, it's one of those Wednesdays where we we got a guest. Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson joins us. Morning. Mark, how you doing today, sir? Hey, how are you?

Uh? You know it just like everyone else trying not to melt so, Hey, I was just I was just chatting about this poll that was released by the by Democratic Education Activist Group and a little something, A little something's different. According to the new poll, which was conducted about five days ago, the voters of North Carolina have more trust in Republicans as it pertains to

public education. And that's not normal. In fact, what is normal is in many cases a double digit lea for Democrats in this So this is a huge shift. What do you make of this mark before we get into specifics, Well, it shows what's been going on over the last number of years. Cases. It shows that people are now waking up and realizing that it is conservatives, it's Republicans who want to give parents the right to have the

ability to children their children's educational destiny. It shows that it is Republicans that have been pushing back against a lot of the indoctrination that's going on in schools. It shows that COVID exposed a lot of it to a great extent, and it shows that folks are really waking up and choosing better. They're realizing actually where the problem, who is actually trying to solve the problems, and who for years have been have been complacent in allowing a status quo to exist

that has been destroyed in our public schools for years. And so I'm glad to see that people are highly starting to wake up and realize it. It's folks on that right here inside of the owl, they're really trying to do the work to bring public education back to a place where it should be. Let's see, it's forty percent North Carolina breaks down for Republicans, thirty two percent for Democrats. So it is the biggest of the for battleground states,

they pulled seventeen percent. Don't trust any of you, So I guess my question is how do the Republicans. This is why it's so important that is they're doing everything that they're doing that they get in their education initiatives, and I'm just concerned in the past, well we've seen these as part of budget discussions. They either get neutered a little or have not been included. I think they got to take this and run. And how do you get these

seventeen percent that don't trust anybody to trust Republicans to try something different. You have to make those demulcrasive statements about how education we believe education should be. Number one, of course, giving parents total control of their children's educational destiny.

And then number two is putting discipline and order back in the classroom eating Number three is making sure that we take care of our teachers, that we pay them like professionals, hold them to a professional standards, and protect them in the classroom, give them the respect that they deserve in the classrooms, and batting them up one hundred percent to make sure that they're able to do what they do on a daily basis. And then we've got to start really

preparing our children for life outside the classroom. We have to make sure that our education system is not directed by making sure that we're feeling teams to continue to get dollars or that we're trying to check boxes. What we need to be doing is making sure our students are going to be prepared for life once they leave that classroom. That they can take the skills that they learned in the classroom transfer those things their lives to build great careers and great life.

What do you think? What do you think of this inclusion of medicaid expansion. I can't remember if I've asked you on this. Obviously, a lot of us were surprised when the Republicans decided to include it. The governor's been wanting it. He once its separated from the budget, because I guess he's bored. But for a lot of people, this position was set in stone and then all of a sudden changed, and I guess I'm wondering what the

mindset is amongst the discussions you're having. Well, you know, I've made I've made a point that I was against medicaid expansion, did not want it. I was vietminly against it. But there are a number of members of the House and Senate who believed the cause of the situation that we were in, some of the extra money that we had, the cause of the COVID tons we had, at some of the provisions that they put inside of the

bill itself, that Medicaid expansion was a direction could go with. You know, they had those discussions they had those arguments, they went inside their their chambers and did the work, and they decided that they would pass that bill. Now the question is now is where do we go from here? How do we get the absolute best result from this for the people of North Carolina.

And I believe that there is a way to do that. There's a way to partner with some private entities to ensure that we direct this thing so that we don't see some of the heavy handed effects that we have seen, you know, the states take place, or some of the ill effects that we have seen take place in other states. I think, now it's been passed, where are going to have to be extremely uh vigilant to make sure that we get the absolute best we we got we can out this for the

people of North Carolina. Again, was very much against it, but it was not my decision alone to make. It was made by consensus by the folks in the House and the folks in the Senate, and they chose to pass that legislation. There are a lot of people who do not like it, as you say it, but our job now is to move forward to figure out how we can make this thing work best for the people of Nortilina.

Yeah, but you and I both know Mark that if going forward, once people get hooked on something, you know, let's let's say that we find out that it's not the cost neutral thing that they're claiming it is, and it starts tearing a hole in our budget, it will be impossible to roll it back from a political standpoint, right, So, once we're in, we're in. I'm not sure if that's necessarily the case. I think there are some provisions in it that kind of protect us. But that's the

thing that I pray does not happen. And not only am I going to pray that that's not going to happen, We're gonna work like to try to make sure that that does that happen. Casey, and again I reiterate my original statement is I was against it from the very beginning. What you just stated was my sphere from the very beginning. But as an elected official down that it's been passed, my position is that we're gonna have to take what

we've got. I try to make sure we get the best result out of it, and I've talked to a number of people in the private sector, and I believe that if we partner with those folks. We can put some

things in place to make sure we get that best result. The news cycle yesterday quickly flipped from Devin Archer too obviously a indictment of Trump, five of his staff, four lawyers, one campaign worker, political advisor, and the fact that the judge who has been assigned is literally a former partner at the law firm where Hunter Biden was. It's so incestuous, Mark, when you go up to DC and I know, you go up there and and you know, do the do the schmooz the politician thing. Doesn't it make your

skin crawl sometimes? I mean it's like the same twenty people keep popping up over and over again. It only makes my skin qual case. It makes my blood boil that our Department of Justice is now being used like a political entity. Uh, just as just like those entities were used uh in places of like the Soviet Union, uh and like Germany during World War two, UH, like China in the nineteen fifties, but now being used to to uh indicte and to convict, to indicte and trying to jail political enemies.

Uh. You know, President Trump is suspised by the left, and I believe he's despised by the left for three reasons. He was trying to make this nation energy independent. He was trying to secure our border, and he was trying to rebuild our military, the three things that we desperately need in

this nation for this nation to survive. And I believe that anyone who would win that nomination uh and run from president and win in twenty twenty four, if they're a Republican, if they're Democrat, it doesn't matter who they are. Any person who goes and sits in that seat and does those three things, anyone who goes and put America first and state they're going to put America first, they are going to be roundly attacked the same way President Trump was.

And they they're going to be uh, those folks who are going to seek to destroy them because for some reason, those folks don't want to put America first. They don't want to sec you're all border, they don't want us to be errangy independent, and they don't want us to rebuild our military and stand as the world leader for freedom anymore. And it's very sad. It makes me very angry. And the people of this country, I hope and pray will make the right decision in twenty twenty four and put a leader

in place. It's going to do all those things. It's going to help this nation survive. One of the one of the things that we see quite often, and they're able to do it obviously due to having the largest population of all the states, is California is able to both their population and their economy to influence literally things that happen federally, what companies do. Right, if they build a product, they cancel in California, they'll change it.

So how does North Carolina when you're sitting there and you're hearing, well, let's talk about water heaters and gas stoves and all of this, how does North Carolina flex in the same way that California is able to do from time to time. I have to think we have some say here and we just

don't tend to use it. Well, that's part of the regal why it is so important for us Casey to do what I've been talking about here now for over the last year, we have got we have the capability now where we're getting before two ten, Before two thousand and ten, we didn't have the ability to grow our economy we do. Now we have the revenue, we have the folks that want to come here and establish businesses. That's why it's so important for us to grow our economy from Murphy the Manio now to

start that process and in earnest to become an absolute economic powerhouse. Once we do that, South Carolina is in the process of doing that, Tennessee is in the process of doing that. Virginia is trying to do that. The states, Florida is doing that, these states that are run by strong conservatives. We all need to get in to our states make sure that we grow grow our economic engine so that we're powerhouses. We can start drawing that business

away from California. People can start looking to say, you know what, California is not the only place to do business. It's not the biggest place to do business. And I don't know if you notice, you're not casey, but a lot of people are getting out of that state. And if the state doesn't change course, I can see a time when people are going to continue to abandon their massive numbers. There's plenty of space here in here

in North Carolina for people live. We welcome people to come here that are going to continue to push for our good conservative ideals and keen to push for the white things. But I think that is the answer by making sure that we start this profit if now in earnest to grow our economies, grow our economy from Murphy Demmanuel, start bringing those virgets and communities up, giving them

the infrastructure and things that they need to grow. And uh, I think we can we can reverse that training and start making a statement out here on the on the east coast and and down south, uh that we're an economic powerhouse. And um, some of those rules to start changing, right. But you've seen the impact when I when I first moved to Raleigh in Wake County, they had most of the commissioners were Republican. They had a school

board that was actually Republican majority. And he you know, in ten years, you're not We don't have Republicans now anywhere near the city center. There's no commissioners. Um. So with with people moving here, it's it's it's definitely changing the landscape of North Carolina. You know, I think it's a it's a common and things. A lot of people are moving here now because of our conservative values. Casing, they're moving here now because of the great

things. We're doing a lot of times though those local elections. What's happened in cases we can't, We oftentimes forget about those local elections. You look at the numbers on voting when it comes to local elections, the paltry numbers on voting when it comes to local elections. The Left has put a great deal of time and energy and money into local elections. They put a great

deal of time into distric attorney elections in local areas. They put a lot of time in the sheriff's elections, they put a lot of times in a lot of time into county commission and city council elections. And they've also put

a lot of the money into those things. Those things have been well funded in many places, and they're doing they're doing a lot of damage to municipalities because of it, Republicans have got to do a better job of getting involved in those local elections, and to be quite frank, we all assistants have to do a better job of voting in those local elections to make sure that

we're voting for people who are going to lead us to a place. It's going to make our cities, on municipalities, our counties a better place. All right, let me let me ask you the question that'll get you in

trouble, because I was. I was looking at USA today and they had their big readers choice things, and they voted on the best fast food breakfast in all of America and all of America, and the winner was Biscuitville, And all right, well, but now there's people in the comments here in North Carolina saying it's not even the best fast food breakfast in North Carolina. I was thinking that Bojangles should have it. So are you Biscuitville or Bojangles

or something else? Well? I prefer my wife's cooking, quite honestly. Are there are a couple of local mom and pop diamonds here in town that I definitely prefer to the fast food? But Biskerville is very good, Biskaville is very good. But both Angles is right there with him. So I don't know if I could choose either one. If I had to choose one of one or the other, I guess I would say it was the one that was closest to me. As I was going down the highway hurriedly towards

my next destination, I'm not gonna pick. Come on, man real, I'm definitely not. And honestly, I don't have a favorite between the two. I don't. I mean, it just it just depends on location, time and whatever whatever it may be. Both of those places to find restaurants, uh, when that coop, when the food is cooked right at both they're they're they're both pretty good. So it just depends on where I'm at,

what I'm doing, where I'm on my way too. So so you said you got the wife in there first, and then you didn't choose between the big two, And yeah, I got my wife's breakfast. I'll take her breakfast over anybody. So then, like I said, got a couple of local diners around here that we really love. Mom and pop places will do a great job with breakfast, and we love those places. One last thing and I'll let you get out of here. We have about a minute, minute and a half. Um, what what is nat? What you

know? The governor is a lame duck governor. Obviously the general assemblies putting the budget together. Are there any surprises that we may see or is this just really Hey, you've heard everything that might come down the pipe. It's just a matter of seeing what makes it into the budget or is there still possibly some stuff coming that you guys have been talking about. I hope there are no surprises in it, and the things I've been trying to keep a

breath of it as close as possible. They're working. They're working on those things right now. I'm gonna be in Raleigh all day today, so I should be able to have some pretty healthy discussions with some folks, uh to to to get updated on the progress of the budget. And so I don't think there's gonna be any surprises in it. But I was kind of surprised by the Medica expansion thing, so we'll see, Casey. I have confidence in those men and women that we have in the House in the Senate.

Uh. Certainly, they've done some things that I was against, but by and large, UM, I have supreme confidence that they're going to pass the budget. It's gonna be great for the people of North Carolina, and we're gonna be able to move forward to get the best result out of everything that they passed out of those chambers. Mark Robinson, Lieutenant Governor, thank you for the time this morning. We'll talk sen Sor. Thank you. All right, there you go, and we will take a break, but you're

right back. Hang on, brous This is one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle and News Talk ninety four five WUPTI in the Tryad. All right, welcome back to thirty five here on the Kcoday Radio program. Yeah, so USA Today basically was doing their nest and this is best in the nation and the best fast food breakfast in the nation, even though it's just a regional chain Biscuit Bill. And then I see the comments from people who are like, nah, bo Jingles is better. I don't know. I

guess can you like it? You can like them both, right, ross Do you have a favorite? Or is it just a good morning when something's coming from one or the other of those? Yeah, Like if I'm in the studio and you bring one in, I'm like, it's a great day. Doesn't matter. Now. See here's the problem. I can understand where people would because the image is Biscuitville is a little higher quality, right,

cost a little more I think it is. Yeah, but I mean it's if it's bowtime, it's bow time, and well I was just gonna say, and but but bow rounds, right due, bow rounds are amazing. Sometimes I go through and just get like they look at them like I'll have like ten orders of bow rounds and they'll be like, what you like, you want ten? I'm I no want like ten individual thing. I want like forty yeah, yeah, I want I want the thing with the five in it or whatever comes in it, and I want it at times ten.

So chop up. Yeah. See, Biscuitville doesn't have bow rounds, man, Dude, they should merge. Oh that'd be amazing. But like they have like the pimento cheese biscuit. Yeah, you know, bow Jangles not doing that. So I'm gonna go with I like them both, but they have that. The sausage is better at Biscuitville, but the bow rounds. I keep coming back to the bow rounds. Man. Now, I want food from both. If you want to weigh in, you can eight

eight eight nine three four seven eight seventy four. And again that's the name. That's the national thing too. So oh wait, Boston Paul doesn't understand the assignment well about waffle House. Doesn't roussal waffle house guy. This is fast food, Boston Paul, and waffle House is not considered fast food for the purpose of this okay. I mean it's still damn fast though, Like if you do like to go order, it'll be done in like five minutes. Like I don't disagree at all, but mine just you know, it's

not technically a fast food restaurant. My one issue now with the waffle House, and maybe it's not everyone, but at least the one in wake Forest is if you walk in, you can't just make it to go order. You have to do it on the app. Really, yeah, If you walk in down and you're like, hey, I would like some food to go, I'm on my way home. I want to take it home, They're like they will look at you and be like, not possible. You need to go out in your car, do it on the app. Order

on the app, and then we'll have it ready. You can't order at the register. I've never yeah, I've never heard of ever since COVID. At least that's how it is in wake Forest. It's awful. Oh is it a COVID? Well, because I've been there before when I'm waiting to pick my stuff up, and I've had seen people come in and they'll tell them that behind the counter and they'll look at them like what, Like the woman was like, what do each time? I'm right here, I want

to order. What's the difference if I do it here on the app? I would just look at him like, I don't have a phone. They don't care, they won't do it. Really, Yeah, I've seen it. You go in and you got maybe maybe you got one of those big button jitterbug phones that your grandkids got. It doesn't and there out of luck what you're explaining exactly what I saw. It was an older woman she came

through. She had like one of those jitterbug phones, like the kind my mom has, and she looked at the woman and looked at her phone and said, what do you can't I just want to order food. I want to take you home. So, like I guess you would sit down, order your food. They'll bring it and then ask him to back it up. Dude, I hope that's just that one. You know what I had,

I would have. I have a harder time believing it's all of them because of the propensity of waffle housegoers to flip out and start fights with staff, right, And I feel like if they just made that change and you had frustrated people in there wanting to order food, and not wanting to do it on an app like there'd be a lot more videos. But I don't know. Maybe people are adapting to it, or maybe it's just that one is that one really really busy all the time? Or I mean that all

the time. When I was in there and the woman came in and had the issue, there was it was just me and the woman. I was just waiting for my food. There was no one else there. They would not do it. Yet another thing ruined. I had no idea. All right, if you guys want to spy report too, is that is that

the deal? Now? I can't amain because I know that I know two guys who go to the same waffle house for They've been going to the same waffle house for basically the whole time I've been alive, and they go once or twice a week, and they call it. They have a little cutesie name before they called a meeting. I got invited to it. I'm like, I'm good, But you guys have fun and they've been going to the

same one over and over and over it. If you've been doing that normally, you get take out and then all of a sudden, one day they're like, nah, I gotta put it in your phone. And you you know, you've been doing business there for thirty years. I think people are gonna get a little upset, but that's just me. All right, hold on, what is this? Uh? Andrew? What's up? Yeah? Hey, I was on my way to work. I was gonna fast through breakfast. I won't weigh in on the biscugo versus jingle thing, but y'all

start talking about bow rounds and I'm salivating. So I literally just pulled off all American Boulevard to get me something. All right, we'll get ten orders, sir. That's where Ross's recommended a lotment, So yeah, got it all right, all right, trying not to die. That's so they'd be. I mean, they're greasy, but that's you know, that's what's so good about them. But I you know, I don't even think when I was young, I could, I could rock that many bow rounds, but

I would try. I was just dumb enough. Michelle, what's up? Hey? I'm a biscuit mill girl, and it's because my dog gets a free biscuit whenever I go there. I can say, Zoe, do you want to get a biscuit? Ville, and she's all about going to biscuit Ville. Well is it it's just a little dog biscuit. Uh No, it's actually a biscuit and they put it in the it looks like a dog bomb. It's really cute. If you have a dog, or if you

want to take my dog all it, let her go with you. Yeah, and that's fine until your dog's two hundred pounds because everyone's you know, he doesn't get the go all the time. Casey, it's just on special occasion, right right, right, all right, all right, Well I'm happy that your dog is happy and your team biscuit Bill, thank you very much for the call. Okay, all right, this guy just email me. Oh that's a good point, sir. Yep, yep, yeah,

Well he's screening a call. Tell them in a moment. Uh, somebody just solved Ross's uh to go uh email or just solved your to go problem. He said, walk in instead of walking into the register, sit at the counter, order what you want, and then just walk out with the plate. That's literally what I just said. Yeah, that's why I was saying that. I took the time to email it to me and I wanted to be well, thank you for that. It's a it's a great idea.

I couldn't have come open that myself. Appreciate it and get back to the phones. Now I'm just messing with you, sir. Well I'm the emailer. Let's see here, Gail, what's up? Hey, just find the Let you know, I've not had the bow rounds before, but I have had the biscuit Ville sausage balls and they are amazing. You never had bow rounds at bow Jangles. Now we we always up for Biscuitville. You need the sausage balls are only available on the catering. Then you gotta try

I mean, just just try it, Gail, make some changes, all right, maybe we'll get a shy I'm just look, this is this is me helping you, and thank you very much for calling. How do you there's a bow Angles every five feet. Let's get raced agent from the weather channel. Um. Ever you ever

You have the biscuits or the potato rounds in the morning. Life changing. I'll have to try it next time on there I have not. How are there so many people I've never had bow rounds? I feel so bad for all of you. But well, now it's gonna put It's gonna go on my to do list.

The bow rounds are a game changer if you've never had them before. They're they're oh, they're incredible. So you would go just for those and then I pick up the chicken biscuits or something. No, ross just he's just just he gets a big like the KFC style bucket, but it's full of bow I have. I've done it nice. I'm gonna have to look for that. I will pop on if you're headed out to the Gett some bow rounds for sure. Buttle w. Yeah, it's a little warm again,

Yeah, mid upper eighties. A little cloud, but it's been high level cloud today. If mostly sunny works for you, that sun might appear a little bit milky at times, but it's dry. Same thing tomorrow,

partial sunshines, probably more clouds in tomorrow. Mid sixties in the morning, mid eighties in the afternoon, and then I'll get a little wet as we go through Thursday night and Friday, some showers, thunder showers with a complex coming out of the Northwest, and those showers and that rain will come on

through. Pretty decent chances too, especially on Friday. I've seen some showers and maybe thunderstorms, which with the clouds it added preset, may hold us in the middle to maybe upper seventies, so we might not hit eighty degrees on our first Friday in August. We'll warm it up quickly over the weekend

with the dry weather returning mid's upper eighties. Triangle may hit ninety degrees, especially on Sunday, so the humidity will start coming back a bit, and it looks like that's going to continue into next week with some warmer weather. So we get this little breaks. Actually it hasn't been bad a few days, and then whether we'll come back then after that the weekend dry but a little more humid, and we'll throw a little more he on the atmosphere too.

All right, I appreciate it and we'll chat tomorrow, sir. All right, all right, coming back with Jeff Bellinger. Oh now, people are giving me waffle house to go order spy reports and oh no, I'll give you the details of those as well. Coming up. Hang on smart talk all day, four five WPTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. It's eight fifty two. You're Bloomberg up thick now with Jeff Bellinger. Jeff, what's going on? Well, good morning,

Casey. The Fitch decision to downgrade the US credit rating likely set the stage for a rough opening on Wall Street. Treasury Secretary Janet Yelling another Biden administration officials pushed back hard on that downgrade. Fitch said the recent fight over the debt ceiling was among the factors that led to its decision. Stock market futures have been pointing lower all morning. Dow futures are down one hundred forty seven

points at the moment. Private employers continue to hire. Last month, ADP reported companies added three hundred twenty four thousand workers to their payrolls in July. Job growth much stronger than expected. Most of the positions were as you might expect. In service providing industries. Mortgage infestrates went up last week. The average int restraint on a thirty year fixed rate home loan is getting close to seven percent six point nine three percent to be precise, and that's putting a

damper on home loan demand. Mortgage bankers report application volume fell to the lowest level in two months. We can't keep spending like its twenty twenty one. A new report out today from the Brookings Institution says consumers will have to slow their buying soon because many people are close to running out of cash. The combination of lockdowns and government stimulus boosted Americans wealth during the pandemic. Much of

that wealth has since dissipated. Analyst at Brookings say households will run into financial trouble if they sustain their current spending trends. Amazon dot Com is revamping its grocery business. The online retail giant says this is the biggest overhaul since it bought Whole Food six years ago. Supermarket operations from Whole Foods, Amazon Fresh, and Amazon dot Com will be merged into a single online cart. Amazon is testing some new highly automated warehouses, and for the first time, Fresh

Food delivery will be available to customers who are not Prime members. And Casey, we know now that nobody won the big Mega millions jackpot last night, but don't toss your ticket. If there's a Crispy Cream shop along your route to work this morning, the chain is offering a free donut to anyone who comes in today with a losing lottery ticket. Casey, Okay, all right, Well we were just talking about breakfast stuff anyway, so that'll be a

third option. Thank you very much, and we'll talk tomorrow. Sounds good. Have a good day, all right, There you go, Jeff Ollinger, Bloomberg News. So it ain't bow rounds, but it is. It is a donut, soot that going for you. Speaking of Virginia, where North Carolina, Virginia was mentioned with the Biscuitville in Virginia, a rather interesting ruling from a judge evaluating how the University of Virginia Health System dealt with a

woman who chose not to take the COVID vaccine. She had gone through the process of applying for religious exemption. She included letters from her of her pastor, and feasibly should have met the met the requirements. However, the Healthcare system ignored that and didn't even respond to her and allow her to argue her case. They simply denied it and she was let go. And now District Judge Claude whirl has ruled the UVA Health System wrongfully terminated Casey McCoy using what

are the legal terms, she arbitrary and capricious and those things. And she's going to get back pay and her job back if she wants it, So they're gonna have to pay her for the moment they did it. The sheer volume of people that just chose to ignore the religious exemptions or health exemptions and never really address it, right, whether it was in public settings where somebody had a strong emphysema, right, and then they would be like, well,

my doctor literally told me not to wear this wear a mask. You were not allowed to say that. And the amount of people who had their religious exemptions just ignored is more than just this one woman. And it's going to be very interesting as judges and cases move forward what that's gonna look like, because, yeah, he says the UVA acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner. The amount of companies and lawmakers, frankly that we're willing to even

entertain the idea of a religious exemption. They put it in there because they legally had to, because they didn't want challenges on government and religion stuff. And then the trick was then they just didn't give it to anybody. What what? What was? There was one company that they gave zero out of like two hundred applications or something. Maybe it was like one and I don't

even remember what trigger did. So if if now you've got some case law up in Virginia, and this has to do obviously with a quasi public university, it's going to be very interesting as as people move forward on this, because there's a bunch of other lawsuits. She's just the first. And look how how long it took to adjudicate this. Let's see here first liberty counsel

was I guess helping her in her case. They say it's an important victory for religious liberty and for those who have not caved into unlawful shot mandates. Yeah, and it might be quite profitable for some folks who if they did lose, now we're gonna get if this, if they get a similar ruling, they're gonna get basically what two years of pay. When was she How long was she out? Almost two years? Yeah, it's a fat check and some of it could cost some of these outfits some serious cash. So

little good news to round out the show today. It's Wednesday, so uh got some food discussion, got a little of this, a little of that. Um crap, I'm not gonna I'm sorry, I'm not gonna be able to get to what's the best bow jngle item that I'm not gonna able to get to Will's call? What was it? He was going to say? Oh, okay, all right, my bad. I'm sorry, guys, I got on the whole UV eight thing, but I suck. I'll try

harder tomorrow and then maybe even Friday. So make sure you join us then and follow us on Twitter at Casey on the Radio where we post out all these little goodies we're chatting about as we roll through at Casey on the Radio
