Have you ever been You ever been to a point where you're like, I am so lost, I'm gonna have to just get some sticks, build a lean to and start over here. All right, maybe you haven't been that lost, but there was a moment yesterday. I gotta tell you. I I don't often get to all of the little parts of our listening area. I shouldn't say little. Obviously, we cover between the Try and the Triangle a big chunk of space. But yesterday I was running around. I was

doing I had some various client meetings. Right. So, one's in North Hills, that's pretty easy, it's pretty near the station. One's up on ligand Mill as you're headed up towards wake Forest, and the other one is off of Calvin Jones. Okay, And I have to admit it's been a while since I've been that far north in the in the area of wake Forest,

other than on just you know, Highway one going places. So I go to this, I go to this meeting whatever, and I'm like, I want some lunch, and I remember there's a little there's a deli up in Youngsville, and I'm far enough north and I remember that the last I ate a sandwich there one time it was pretty good, and so I was going to go up to that deli, and so I put it in the old you know, it's got Navi Geishen in there, clicking in the navigation,

and rather than running me all the way up to one, it starts turning me northward through these neighborhoods. And I know about traditions and all that area up there. I was in there for like fifteen minutes before I ever hit anything that didn't look like one of the homes and the traditions thing, and it was like this old, historical little neighborhood jammed in the middle there, and then it's just more of that build out ross. I swear that

area north of you is bigger than any city in Wyoming. I told you, I hate to say, it told you so, what it told you so? And like it's it's massive construction and apartment companies everywhere. Yeah, they're still building away many every like three blocks there's a construction crew doing something. Even on Liggoland Mill, they're widening it over there. Yeah. The wake forest you knew even like five years ago, doesn't exist anymore. It

is nothing. It's not there. I like The only time I ever really get that far north over there is like we had it, They'll be like a meat there's like a media golf thing that happens. It has a Hasten tree, Hassan tree or whatever. But that's not even over there. That's kind of you know, that's west of there. And I just go up Highway one for that. That's easy enough. But that explains why Capital and then Highway one North is such a nightmare at at around five o'clock, just

brutal. And then when I do go up to wake Forest or like, you don't live that far north, so I'm you know, I'm basically concentrated into the downtown area of wake Forest. If I if I, for whatever reason, was to go near where you are, I did not swing by to see the monstrosity blodding out your son though, because I was kind of over on the other side. But I was curious, son. They're really nice. They're starting really low two in the four hundreds, so that's great

for four hundred thousand. Yeah, you can look at your back patio and see my property. So right, with the Henge, I hate you all so much. With the hene Henge. Did do you want to Henge View or a road view. I would think, I think you think you want the Henge View until there's some weird ceremony going on over there, and it's just like you can't blot it out. But yeah, man, oh,

I had no idea what was going on up there. Raleigh never made sense to me in where they do choose to build out and where they don't even going back, you know, a decade or something to go. And they got they got a couple of things working out working against them to try to get an even spacing of everything, right, because you have the state park going up Glenwood there, and so you have this huge slice of what you

would call the pie where you can't build anything. And then if you go south of town like five minutes, all that land is owned by NC State for their agricultural stuff, so it's not developable. Although that's a problem. I wonder if they're gonna run like in Minneapolis, they ran into that with the University of Minnesota, and the state came in and found new land for him and kind of forced their hand to sell their agg property, which turned

into some southern suburbs there. But but yeah, and then for whatever reason, Nightdale doesn't seem as expansive as it could be for the distance. But no, you're getting all the houses. Man. Did you drive further down Calvin Jones to where like PDQ was or is? On the way back? I cut by there, but I know where it is. I've been over there. Did they Did you see all that construction? Like I was so overwhelmed with construction. I don't know if it stood out initially, is it

really? Oh? Yeah, you'd notice, okay now, because I was coming west on Calvin Jones from you know, over on the Rollsville side, and I turned right up into Traditions and then that was it. Yeah, I remember how they used to be like PDQ in the ale House. Yeah, and then a little and they had like there's a haircut place there too, Lady James. Yeah, it's expanded a bit, a little bit, just a little like they added another outbuilding maybe at Applebee's or something a little

more than the okay too. So I just have no reason to drive up there. But I had only crap. I had no idea. And it's not just there. There's a couple of parts of Greensboro that are that. Every time I go and do a visit over there. It's just crazy, man. But that wake forth, they're gonna have to do something because by the time I ended up heading down because I stopped and saw a buddy when

I was up there. So by the time I'm headed south on one back into Raleigh, there is it's right, it's you know, it's around four thirty and it looks like it's just a parking lot headed north. So holy cal all right, anyway, sorry, I know for a lot of you, you're like, we live up there, we know, yeah, but you have a four hundred thousand dollars apartment overlooking Ross's Henge. I bet you don't, dude, you got a really red knock up your yard, remember

that guy who had the house and Kerry. I've already started. I've already started because before you know, I try to at least sort of maintain it. Right right now, I'm like, screw you people. You gotta get a burn barrel out here. Yeah, right, you know it's gonna make a ford of tires a tire fords. Oh tire fords are good, yeah, and you can then burn those. It's at certain points, oh well you have to. Yeah, people love that. Why would you have the

tires if you're not going to burn them. So if if everybody got a busted car, you could have like I'd take several yeah no, and you stack them right yeah yeah, yeah yeah, I'd be amazing. And that's where you get the tires. Right next to the hinge in my backyard will be the car hinge. Oh wow, that's like the biggest ball of twine. Tourists will want to come see that. It's like the Boone, big beer, big beer boon, except this will be real exactly. No.

Yeah, oh that's on record. That's on record. I mean I'm saying the car hinge wouldn't be real. Oh oh, because he because you need to get you know, like you need to get like the paperwork and all that sort of. I'm not one for paperwork, dude. If it's a good Redneck yard, you don't need paperwork. Isn't that why you'd never really technically run for sheriff because paperwork? Yeah, because this country wasn't built on

paperwork, not at all. Isn't founded on paperwork. And we're in sheer will and determination as Hayes for sheer and throwing and throwing off throwing an overthrowing George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Abraham. Correct, we don't know which Abraham, but one of them. My goal is, seriously, I want

to make my yard. So when somebody moves in or like they're taking a tour of these four hundred thousand dollars monstrosity apartments that destroyed my neighborhood in my block, to go out there and be like, oh, this is so nice, and then they look at the back wind and they go nope. You know, they'd be like they'd be like illegal immigrants coming in and now refusing to go to La telling nah Man, we want Martha's vineyard, dude.

The high cost of living, coupled with criminal criminal activity concerns, has for the first time knocked the Los Angeles area off of the preferred resettlement locations of illegal immigrants coming into the United States. You're coming from. Cut your head off of Mexico, right, Sanda Capitano, which you know what that sounds like a wonderful Mexican vacation destination, Sanda Capitano. Ross, you guys want to go into Sanda Capitano. I'll get you guys some tickets. Everybody

goes to Cancun. It's way too busy. So people are leaving Mexico from you know, Sanda Capitano and coming up to America and they're like, I don't want to live in La. It's too dangerous. Craziness. Man. Among the destinations most requested if if given a choice seen it do still include California's Central Valley, Washington, and Nevada due to the cost of living. Uh, the you know, I guess, the lesser crime rates and the

availability of agricultural work. But Los Angeles proper, not so much. They've seen at forty five percent decrease in the number of folks who are arriving who want anything to do with greater La, dude, And they probably have relatives in many cases, right, and they still don't want to go there, just you know, just out of sheer, you know, the volume of others who have come come here across the border just being really located in that

area. All told, border patrol continues to arrest a total of one hundred and seventy seven thousand said migrants per month at the Mexican border, of which the majority are then resettled awaiting court dates. Now, if you go to other countries. You mentioned Martha's Vineyard. There's really the only group that really wants anything to do with the greater Northeast there is Venezuelan migrants, because there is a big Venezuelan population in the New York area. Let's see, and

uh, Dominican immigrants. So though the majority though Miami remains number one for most immigrants not coming not coming from a fixed continental country, but rather any of the island nations. Well, Venezuelan is a fit. Well, I guess technically they already said New York there, so yeah, there you go. They didn't want anything to do with that, all right. Coming up on the show, the greatest self owned via journalist I've seen in a long

time. So let me give you that. Let me give you the background real quick. So this journalist is wanting to test the discrimination that may be happening to people who are immigrating from countries that would have unusual names where the government is rejecting them even you know, because they're super bigots and they just

don't understand. Right, However, will they will still limit names for you know, you can't like name your kid Hitler in some instances, right, And so what does she do. So this genius reporter from ABC decides when her baby's born, she's going to give him a wildly offensive name I guess in the eye of the beholder, and she wanted to see if it would get through because it wasn't a you know, a Muslim name, which is I think the crux of what she's trying to prove, so that she can

go why would you allow this? But then you wouldn't allow this traditional Muslim name just because you didn't understand it, because you're a bunch of bigots. The problem was they didn't reject the name. So her kid is now this name? What is that name? I will tell you when we return on the case O Day radio program, keeping you connected. This is ninety four five WPTI in the Triad and one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle.

All right, welcome back into six twenty five. So journalists kursed in Drysdale decided to test the policies of the folks who handle I guess the birth birth registry. Just to be clear, this is this is Australia. So ABC is the Australian Broadcasting Company, which is kind of like their PBS. Okay, they're public right, so anyway, so she works for the one of the news programs there. She decides she's going to test this because there's

been concerns that when they do enforce the restriction where they're able to. The way it works is you submit your baby name and you can submit an alternative with it. If they reject the one and then reject the alternative, they will literally name your baby for you. And the problem is is she suspects that there's some bigotry of foot because if you're a white Australian and you want to name your kids something crazy, they'll let it go with a few exceptions.

But if you are somebody from a four in country and the name is is highly unusual but would still be within I guess the normal range from that other country, that people are discriminating against those those immigrants. So she tries to pick a name, thinking, okay, well they'll have to reject this, but maybe they won't, and she I guess she never thought about what

would happen if they didn't and they didn't. So, following the birth of her third son, as part of this story endeavor, she submitted and was approved for the child's new name the child's name methn Fhetamine rules. Your kid now your kid's day met the pettabe rules. Lady, it's your kid's your own kid. Make up a fake kid, right, do your little undercover thing? You named your actual kid meth then fetamine rules. What are you gonna do now, little methy? I mean, do you come up with

a nickname? And what if he gets famous? What if he could play cricket or wicket or what you know whatever. It's one of the stupid games that don't understand where they're like, oh, we're gonna have a match or a test and it's gonna last three days, and for three days on the TV it's met. Then fetamine rules. Up to tossa googly ball or one oh six one FM Talk and ninety four five w PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is Casey O Day and Carolina's Morning News.

All right, welcome back, six thirty five. You're on the case Day Radio program. Good on the organizers of the Raleigh Christmas Parade, by the way, pushing back on this insanity from the city. So if you remember, it was the end of last week the city decided, Hey, you know what, you don't need a Christmas parade, screw you. We'll do holiday activities. Yeah, yeah, no, we know we issued other parade things, and other parades have happened since the tragedy that happened last Christmas parade.

And then we're gonna kind of intimate that maybe the parents didn't want it, so they look like the bad guys here and it's just garbage, just garbage, people shifting the blame to everyone but themselves. You made a decision, stick with it. Well then they said, hey, well all right, maybe we'll let you do it because people were outraged, rightfully so,

but you can't have any motorized anything. And initially I think the Merchant Association was gonna agree to that, but like we said on the radiot, don't give these people an out for their poor decisions. Make them suffocate or suffer

the consequences of their actions. Don't agree to this. Well, thank god somebody listened, because the Greater Rally Merchant Association has presented a new pushback proposal that would allow this and with a list of safety regulations, which, by the way, is what the family of the little girl who was killed asked for and specifically said they didn't want the parade canceled. You can't do a parade without some motorized something. You gotta pull, you gotta pull, you

gotta have floats, you need to be able to transport. You know it was there was a situation. I won't give you all the details on it, but if if the person wants to have invited her to come on and talk about it. Or you have these kids who are literally dealing with horrible

circumstances, whether it's physical disabilities, developmental disabilities, their parents. They're what who get to ride in the parade and it's the greatest thing that's happened to them that year, a year full of horribleness, and the city of Raleigh doesn't want to let them have that opportunity. Some of these kids can't walk and by if they had a motorized wheelchair, that would be a violation of the stupid thing that they're proposing. And they're gonna get tut now. I'm

sorry, you can't do the parade this year. You can't for a moment in all of the crap that you're dealing with, be the center of attention kind of and and throw candy or wave to people. Or realize your Christmas dreams because we're sitting here and playing games. Don't let these people off the hook for a moment. Let them explain to some kid whose parents are dead why he can't go in the Christmas parade this year? Okay, and film

it and put it online. Put it online of the mayor of Raleigh telling some kids who's known nothing but tragedy and heartache this year and perhaps maybe even for the totality of his life, that he can't he can't do the Christmas parade because he's not physically able to sit there and strut down the parade route. Make him tell him to their face, bring him over to the city council meeting. Let them scurry into the back room like a bunch of cowards.

I'm just so sick of this that we're having to sit here and negotiate this out. Sorry, just very just bothered me immensely this morning. All right, let me grab a call here, Chris, Chris, what's up. It's a good morning. Thanks for taking my calls early. I just wanted to say, you guys almost nailed it again. There's a place in

Cali called San Juan Capistrano, so they could put the Decapistrano there. I am aware that I was inspired by San Juan Capistrano, which, by the way, they have a bunch of birds that come to the Spanish mission there and it's kind of a big deal, which is why people. Yeah, but yeah, san Juan de Capitano is not I did not booger hole it again, I want to. I just wanted to throw that out there on it. But yeah, you know, and that that Raleigh Mare's too busy

drinking with Beth Woods to make any good decisions. So you know, this is an easy this is an easy one to let it. Look, Chris, Christmas season is about is about things like peace and love and joy and even forgiveness. Obviously, would you consider what the season is about from a religious standpoint and what that brought about, you know what I'm saying, So I hear you. Thanks for the call the Americans say. Look, I

misread the room. I thought I was trying to do something to save you know, this, this family from having to sit there and see the parade advertisements and perhaps the parade on TV or hear about it and and relive the tragedy that they themselves are dealing with. But maybe I should have reached out, And yes, I agree with the family that we can do things to make this a safer environment. Let me get with the organizers of the parade

and explain what it is that you think we should be doing. We've we've already enacted these and other parade permittings that we've done this year, and this is how we're going to do it, and every it's going to be a great parade. You say that I can't sit here and yell at you on the radio. I got I got, I got nothing. I got nothing to chew on at that point, and neither will anybody else, and you'll look like a decent human being. But instead, no, you're like death.

Screw them kids. You know it's that Michael Jordan meme. You don't know what I'm talking about where it just says, f them kids. What a perfect meme use possibility right here? This is it. Yes, I'm aware of the Shriners, but you know what, I'm gonna hang my hat on kids because I don't know if you know there's kids, they're big fans of Christmas. I wish, I wish to this day I could carry the same level of excitement for Christmas that I did when I was eight? Can

you imagine? Can you? Can you imagine how if you as an adult And I know there's some of you that go a little Clark Griswold crazy over this, but admittedly it's still not like when you were eight, is it? That's that's what's soll of you, all of your kids. You want to get older faster. There's reason one thousand and six sucks. Okay, you gotta have a job and take care of yourself, but read the reason one thousand and six. Christmas will never feel like it feels for you right

now, never gonna feel the same. So I just caught ross. Do you think you think you could ever? And maybe it's maybe because you have a kid, you get a little more, a bigger slice of it than I do. But and I also have a kid who's always kind of gonna sort of be like a kid in some respects because of his special needs and autism. So like Lincoln is in sixth grade, however, in a lot of respects, he's still like, you know, a younger kid, right right, So I mean we haven't had you know, yeah, yeah,

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's still very magical for him, but it's still I'm not gonna take that away from him. I'm not a monster, you insane, but free. I'm not like the mayor here, you know, to the woman with the cauldron. Yeah, yeah, I'm not a grinch. I don't have that. It's not you know, I'm

not a horrible person, is what I'm saying. I make jokes about like gill netting your kids and transporting them under for twenty five dollars ransoms and all that, and get off my I can't imagine sitting there and doing that to a kid. I don't want to tell a kid no, unless they're being a brat, then I'll tell him no. But like, if I don't want some kid is just like, oh, I'm just gonna be amazing. I don't want to be that guy. I couldn't be that guy. Just

imagine, though, Imagine you are the mayor. You're in that position, and it comes across your desk case should we cancel the Christmas parade? You stamp? Yes, yes, what kind of a dark, empty soul do you have? Well I would blame it on you, of course, because you want to shift the blame. I'd be like, I want to I blame it on the family who had the tragedy. Yeah yeah, yeah,

oh really, Okay, that's good. That sounds like a good scapegoat there, and what you should definitely do. How about your blame it on your staff? Oh? Anybody but myself? Right, Yeah, I'm a racy, dark you know, sould narcissist. I have no you know, I have no soul. It's ye void. Oh wow, that's the next time. I definitely the next time I'm in the ballot booth, you know, and about to pull that lever. What I would think about is which one

of these candidates did not cancel the Christmas parade? Yeah? What? Who did crush us six year old? It should have never been like, it should have never happened. You need to apologize and you need to be like, my bad, we're gonna have it, and it's such a bad move, But it is unless there's no responsibility that that's carried with you forward for it. If you think you're untouchable, right, So yeah, it's a good point. If you think you're untouchable, that's why you do stuff like

this. He came out and you're like, listen, I worship the dark Lord and we're not gonna have Christmas. Yes, it's not gonna do it, but we can if you want, we can all meet down at front of city Hall and we can. You know, we're black robes as you do in front of my cauldron, and we can do that because we worship the dark Lord. Uh huh huh. It's bad news for that goat. By the way, vote for me. Yeah, bring your own chicken talents.

Oh yeah, absolutely. One thing I'm not for is government subsidized chicken talents. No, no, this is why you're allowed to have chickens. You rale and raise chickens and city limits. You notice she didn't want to go along with that. So I can have roosters in my neighborhood. That's fine on a Saturday morning and the one time I get to sleep in everyone's good with that. Just awful, just so awful. So off. You know what we need? You know what we need. We need the Disney

Bear. We need the Disney Bear. Drop it off at city Hall. Let us bring about his Disney magic. Do you guys know about the Disney Bear? Apparently talking he must be talking about you're talking about Disney talking about frontier Land in the jamboree, the bear jamboree thing. No, I'm not, but maybe that's he was going. I don't know, I don't know. If you don't know about the Disney Bear, will tell you about the Disney Bear. Okay, And are you a journalist who I've made fun of

here on the radio. You could get paid and I'll have to be the one. Well, we'll all be doing the pay in Oh yeah, wait for this coming up case O Day radio program show. After the show is on the iHeart radio app. Search case O Day for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. I'm gonna read I'm gonna read something to you because this was publicly posted, so this is this is something I can share with you.

And this was a This was a person who works with these special special special needs kids, but I mean kids who are who need all of the help that they can get. Who was communicating to the parade organizers who wrote to tell the story of one of the kids, who was a little boy who lost both of his parents in twenty nineteen twenty excuse me twenty twenty and as a result changed he had lost all hope, all joy and stopped speaking. He struggled at school. However, he was asked to participate in the

twenty twenty one Christmas parade. Would I guess I'd have to be twenty twenty two, right, Well, anyway, he was asked to participate in the Christmas parade as a member of our school. So I'm assuming this is a

special school. I wonder if it's Frankie Lemon or one of those. But but anyway, and was who got to ride on the float and this child who had not spoke in a year came alive, smiled for the first time in the year, and spoke for the first time as he was aboard, waving to the crowd, finding for a moment happiness, life and joy. The magic of riding on that float that day and the crowd waving gave he

and his grandmother, who now raises him hope. The only thing that got him through it was knowing that once again he'd get to ride on that same float during the parade. But no parade. I mean, I believe it. A lot of these kids, right, like the world is so chaotic, they look forward to these traditions and like these rituals because it's some semblance of normality or yah didn't look forward to. So I completely believe that.

And but no, and I said, some people that wrote me, they said that they actually reached out to the Mayor's I didn't even get an answer. She gotta do is you gotta show up at one of her campaign events. In fact, I have a I have a list here of the campaign events. This Saturday, she'll be at Ben and Jerry's in North Hill slapping cones out of hands. That's a good one. Should go up to that one. If you can't make that. Next week she'll be at Frankie's Fun

Park throwing the master power switch to the off position. It's like a ribbon cutting but different. So that's a thing. And then if you can't, the following week and you'll find her at the bouncy place. What is that monkey Joe's stealing all the springs of the trampolines and deflating the inflatable stuff. So that should be a longer event because there's a lot of them there. And then maybe just look, you know, maybe just you know, say

something to her at one of those fine campaign events or an opportunity. Ross you were saying, there's an opportunity. She may swing by your house right, that's what I was hearing. Yeah, you know, because you hear these tragic stories of like people, you know, they being attacked by dogs and stuff, what kind of dogs, like pitpoles and stuff like that. Poles. Here's is fine. Yeah, there's no half measures here. They need to get rid of all the dogs. Yeah, that's a good story.

Son happen again. So the mayor is gonna be showing up at your door for the big euthanization. Yeah, but but she's not going to do it herself. Yeah, so she's gonna have you do it old yellow style to make sure, you know, because we can't endanger the children. Right. So the the end, So the big dog puppy purge is I think what they're calling it, where they show up at your house and at the

barrel of a gun. As government does usually accomplish anything, they force you to euthanize your own dog for the children, for the kids, for the safety, you know, I understand. So, uh, you know, don't miss any of those scooter or what's up? Yeah, so that was a very touching writer man. Yeah, but uh yeah, I've got it, got a solution. So we'll get all the welders and fabricators out there and we change to flow pulled by horse and then uh just don't clean up

after the horses and uh leave for the city. Well yeah, or the sometimes they have the little clowns on scooters. But you can't have scooters, I don't. Yeah, or you can have you can have the kids or someone else volume and haven't dressed. Uh got and chogas? But what are the other people that didn't watch? Was back then? Where just a cloth? Okay? I think they were pancilst sir. Yeah, oh yeah. It was just like, wasn't it. Yeah, loincloths? Yes, yes,

yes, yes, there's some loin cloths or something like that. All right, all right, well we'll look into it. Thank you for the Calder scooter ross. Did you see this puppy Apparently the puppy perch such a such a success. The kitten callings this weekend, same deal. I mean, you can't trust those things when you sleep, except they just show up with burr lap sacks and and it's off to the nearest creek. So for the kids. All right, seven h seven, Good morning. It is

the case O Day Radio program. Glad to have you a long phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. So we've been losing our minds this morning over this since and I'm sorry, I don't have kids. And even when the parade's going on, I'm like, there's a mild like, ah, I have to wait through all this to get over to get my bloody marry and watch football what's going on. But I don't care

who you are, man, I don't care who you are. And just because you can remember how ampty were when you were a kid, even if you had a really rough go of it, and maybe Christmas wasn't what it was or whatever holiday did you you associate with with with happiness and gathering together with family and food and and all of that, that level of excitement. I'm a little depressed knowing I may never achieve it again as an adult, But I wouldn't rob anyone of that excitement, you know what I'm saying.

And I can get it. I can understand it. As so as we sit here and there is this, you know, the city realizes they screwed up. The mayor realizes she looks like a giant grinch ogre, and she wants to do this like you know, because she's some magnanimous creature, emphasis on creature and no, no, the parade organizers need to be like, no, we're not playing this game. You put out permit it's not like you stopped all parades. You put out permits, you let people use floats.

When I got well, I gotta read the story as some kid who literally went mute and lost all hope due to a tragedy that struck and took both his parents from him, who only was able to turn it around, even if just for a little bit, by being able to participate in this event that the majority of people want. And you want to negotiate that away, screw you. We're not gonna do it. And the Merchant's Association shouldn't

agree to this madness either. If it means there is no parade, let the blame of that fall squarely on the shoulders of the people who made that decision. Let them take the rap for it, Do not give them an

out. It sounds like from what I what I've seen and the people I've talked to behind the scenes, that the group that puts this parade on and I don't speak for them, but it's my understanding that the safety measures that the family of this girl who lost her life last year, are asking for this family that was in a way shouldered with the blame even you know, within the court of public opinion for the idea that the parade could be canceled

because nobody wanted to own their own their own decisions. If if there is a group, if there is a list of safety concerns that they have, and this group that puts the parade on is willing to abide and address those, then everyone should be good to go. And it's my understanding that they are. Again I don't speak for him, and maybe I'm missing something here, but at the very least they've agreed to the majority of them by this

proposal that they've put back. Why are we having this conversation because a certain person's ego won't allow them to let this go for imagine being the people the person rooting for the wet bandits. Okay, that's who you are. You're that You're that person that rooted when the Grinch took all the presence. Good, good glad he got him. Awful, just awful. Jamal, Hello, you know what, Casey, Good morning, Casey, good morning. You know what, Casey, I'm a hole in this man, we don't

know how much kids. We don't celebrate Christmas. However, there ben not be a June teenth parade, and every better not be a gay parade. If those citizens in Raleigh, if those Christmas in Raleigh do not go down there and make their presence and voice her and get a lawyer and say you're better than I had at nasty waggony June tenth parade, and you're better than I had at perverted gay parade, because we will suit you for discrimination.

And you know what, if I'm sick and tired of our representatives, don't step in and start doing something. We don't want this antim and we let even manage your government. This is when we need to have our people. I let the state and say, you know what, we need anti political discrimination because what this is? This woman I'm running on diversity inclusion. Well, how come you've in order to be diverse and inclusive, you got to

outlaw those things that Americans have celebrated for years for diversity of inclusion. If that's diversity inclusion, keep it. We don't wanted. So do they think wait, wait, wait, do you think that they think that it's nothing but white people go to that parade. Because I've been down to that parade. It's I'm almost it ain't all white people. I don't know. I don't know if they're familiar. If Jamal, there's many, Jamal, I know you and your family don't. But I have to think the majority of

black citizens to celebrate Christmas in the city of Raleigh. Yes, But you know what, Casey, the problem is, and I've said this for years, my community don't step up and speak out unless white liberals to give them the a ok to speak out against it. Because every Christian a matter of fact, why won't they hook some other that big fat Ryan Jerry Carrol when it's so called preacher William Bob. He can pull the fluke, he can pull eight of them. Do you want a big old Oregon trail wagon yoke

on him? I mean, what do you add you can't even here? Well, you know, pull him one of them more harnesses. They used to pull the music of the God, old good music and pull. They don't think if you hang a carrot out on a stick in front of him, he's gonna pull crap. You know what I'm saying. Oh No, you need a whole buffet line you need because he's a buffet slayer, golden korad he walking golden Kay start crying, You'll put your whole buffet line in

front of him and be like there you go. He'll pull there, He'll pull every fruit. But Casey, I'm just saying this. The Christmas is the Christmas and Wiley. You know all these churches that have a pride Polly they said, the pride you know flag, We're inclusive. Where are they you all talk about they talk about they're so inclusive, but everything that quote unquote patriarchal, traditional Christian stuff they attacked. This woman needs to be sued

and I mean sued. And and if they try to have a gay trife parade or June tweenth parade, that be not be one float, that ben not be one vehicle. And if they haven't turn aloud and see her again, because it has to stop the people in Riley. You know what, everybody didn't vote for this nutcase's diversity queen. Nobody, everybody didn't vote for

her. But you know what, just because you didn't vote for her don't mean you have to be under the rule of her diversity, which is at diversity inclusive, which discriminatory towards Christians and conservatives rules you can push back against her, and I'm pretty sure it's so it's a law Jan Roley that wants this type of it exposure so he can see her so so conservative to start coming up even if he's not or she couldn't hear you not, they at

least get some you know, conservatives and Christians that comes to head with ties of it. The people have to stand up. Why why tell me right now? Why is it so easy to call in right out in the station? Where? What are the people right now? In a while? It's who are sick? Man? What? Letslin just calling me in right now saying, hey, Ksey, this is a district. I don't know, I don't know what power they would necessarily have. I guess is perhaps the

reason. And they probably don't want to call in because I'm gonna ask them why they gave all of the things that they wanted away and they're still going to expand Medicaid. That's that's what they need to be answering for today. But that's another story entirely. All right, Jamal, thanks for the call this morning. Okay, all right, Yeah, all right, yeah, yeah, they don't. They don't want me to ask that. We will have a lieutenant governor at eight oh five though, right, I know it's

not under his purview, but I'll be curious his thoughts on this. Oh look at that. She just added two more h two more campaign events coming up. One the removal of all the t ball ts. Yeah, I get rid of them. You know, kids swinging bats very dangerous. And uh, the outlawn of pools. No more pools for you know, sometimes kids drowned ross. Have you heard this? So you've heard these right, It is a tragedy. So we need to protect them at all costs.

Yeah, so we'll uh and and then we'll put sand in there like they did in California during COVID with the skate parks, so there's no skaters that use the drained pools for for the kids. So I don't think sand is a good enough deterrent because kids could be like I could build a sandcastle. Can we fill the pools like broccoli or Brussels sprouts or something I was gonna go with fire. Okay, that seems like that could possibly be No, wait, kids might make smores. Well, I mean that. But that's

diabetes. I'm sorry. I mean, these are all horrible things that could, that could. I'm sorry, that's what diabetes. Thank you diabetes. Yeah, uh, dude, I thought we had it in the system. I think I spelled it as the way he says. Oh, I'll never be able to find the E t us diabetes. Well, now we're gonna find it. Yeah, I want it. Hold on, Oh great, it's not even diabetes. First diet. Oh you found it? Okay, good, how's it spelled. It's actually spelled diabetes. Oh why didn't it

come up. I'm out on computers, all whacked out. Your blood sugar is probably low, man, I need a s'more. Well, I'll go to the ice cream knocking event and then i'll catch one just for it hits the ground. We'll use that. But a kid won't beating it, so it'll be fine. No, the kids, they're too busy running from the Disney Bears. Yes. Apparently, nearly half of Disney World was forced to close down after park goers reported a black bear near the Big Thunder railroad.

Well, it seems logical for a bear to be in I'm assuming the railroads kind of themed over like mountain railroads. You would expect to see a bear there. This was in frontier Land. Of course, there's gonna be bears in frontier Land. Yeah, big Thunder railroad. It's like a whole like mining theme. Oh yeah, that's Bear Central man. So wait, so they go all authentic and then the cowards shut the park down. They didn't

even shut the park down when the gator was eating kids. It's probably super confusing at first when you see the bear because you're like, oh my god, it's like a Disney animatronic didn't realize it's like not singing about like necessities and stuff, and wait, assies just the bear ones okay, all right, not a greedy magic bear. So it's not a matt So if it was a magic bear, everything be fine. But since it's not a magic bear, right, Like that bear is not wearing a half shirt. What

a dangerous bear? What if it figured out that if it did, it could catch more kids? Right? Abolical evil bear? But right they So you got a gatorade a kid and they just like, please don't picnic so close to the water's edge. They didn't shut did they shut the park down? I don't think they shut the park down when the gatorade the kid, right, because weren't they all people were upset because they didn't or excuse me, I'm sorry, did I imply that a gatorade a kid? What actually

happened? It's a horrible smelting exit, that's right, Yes, silly me, silly me, spreading false tails there, right. They tried to play at all, They tried to hush that. Remember, isn't it wait, wait, isn't part of Disney just all animals anyway, that's like a separate park and it's like super far away from the Magic Kingdom. And but yes, you do have Animal Kingdom, which is animals. Wait is that its

own ticket? Yeah, it's a separate park. No, come on, it's an extra hundred bucks dude per person for to go where the animals are. Yeah, so that's what Disney, that's what this is about. It's a profit motive. These people didn't have an animal park ticket, but we're getting to see animals, and Disney could not abide by that because they couldn't then grease you for another hundred dollars to go to the other place. Yeah,

you've got a ticket for Epcot, a ticket for Animal Kingdom. Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios or whatever they call it now, or you could buy the Macdaddy package that's like super expensive to go to all four parks throughout the day. There's four different tickets. Yeah, it's Disney World. That's why they call it Disney World. It's like different parks right out. Like you can't walk to them. You have to like get back in the parking lot

then you have to you know that. But how long does that take? Drive? Or you can take the tram or whatever. It takes a long time. Man, It's it's a long day. Is that there is that the people mover does? It goes to the different people mover is only around Magic Kingdom. Man, you need to educate yourself. I can't. There's bears and gaters, man. I'd tell you the first time we took Lincoln down there to Florida, I'd never been there. Mark he'd been there.

Yea. I was blown away because I thought I knew what I was going to. I had no idea. I'm like, this is insane. You know who probably put the bear in there? Come on, I mean, give us stick a bear into the middle of all those children. Would probably guess Grinch, baldwinness, whatever. Yea. If I'd guess she's like, Ah, these kids look like they're having fun. What can I do to get the park shut down? Back in the day, on the evil tier list, I would have probably put like Tom Tillis there first. Yeah,

dynamic has changed, the power ranking has changed. Really, see what you want about Tillis. He didn't cancel the Christmas parade because he's not a moron? Debatable? Yeah, well but he no. Could you realize he wouldn't do it? But not because it's the wrong thing to do, right, but because he realizes there might be some impact in his electability. Yeah. He read that a chapter in Macavelli's The Prince, which is near the back.

It's called it don't cancel the Christmas Parade? You Yeah, even if it dude, if that former Italian thief Paula he was a politician, right, if he knew not to cancel the Christmas parade? What are you all doing? Oh man? All right? Diabodical, magical bears and bad decisions. More of that coming up. Hang on, This is one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle, and here's Talk WPTI in the Triad all right, welcome back, seven thirty six. You're on the CaCO Day radio

program. You ready to take a trip, a trip down south. Let's do this. Florida men, Florida men. Something in the water, the air or scent that makes you do all that crazy crap. It's like the state is one being done ass trap. Nowhere else has the Florida man. It is all almost like as the weird Factor climbs that you'll find out it happened in Florida every time. Florida men, Florida man. If anyone can cheer me, if you know you can, does mind like get crazy?

But of course, but it's not as bad crap crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you find him. They're so used to it they don't mind him. Poray for Florida women this time around us. So here we go to. Florida women were arrested for drunkenly tossing a baby back and forth over a volleyball net quote like a toy, in one incident, actually flipping the baby.

Other patrons attempted to get them to stop for obvious reasons, at which point they told the other patrons that they were going to quote fight them apparently there may have been spent. Now is that less homoerotic than top gun beach volleyball? Right, Steve? I mean if you had to, if you had because at least with a baby, it means somebody reproduced. The way Iceman is spinning that baby. It's hard to do with the baby, is it? If you tried, I haven't, No, I can't pull it

off. Look at those poses from slider there. I think. I think the real downfall is obviously these are horrible people, but two one of the women is on crutches. You know how hard it is to play beach baby volleyball crutches keeping your balance like that. Yeah, so they're going to prison, right, yeah? I hope. So sounds like the baby was injured, not because they spiked it or anything, but because you know, there's a lot of force obviously when you're tossing a baby, which they say,

which was described as traveling four feet in the air. I know it doesn't sound like a lot, but think about it. If you're six foot tall two basically two thirds of you, that's a big distance. What is it? How tall is a baby? A foot and a half? I say, like it? It depends on obviously how old the baby is like a football to a volleyball to a watermelon. Yeah, so I hope they're going

to jail. A waitress who was recording the incident, approached Lafoy, Brianna Lafoy, nineteen, who then tried to hit her, and then Lafoy allegedly flipped the baby upside down grabbed him by his ankles. What is he gonna use She's gonna use the baby as a weapon. I have to assume these women didn't want the baby and this was an effort to get the baby taken

away from them, which thankfully was accomplished. When please watch the video recorded by the witness, they saw Nouel the other woman, Sierra Nouelle twenty, sitting on the ground while Lafoy was standing up, swinging the baby at the waitress like a nun chuck and at one point struck the woman with the baby.

Oh my god, Oh my god. You want to know the nate, You want to know the name of the business where this happened, because it's a bar slash recreationable cannabis, recreational cannabis spot known as Crazy John's Recreational Cannabis and bar. Oh. Well, and I appreciate businesses that are like name like that, because at least you know what you're getting yourself in. You know what it is. You brought a baby to that though, right,

doesn't that sound like a place where you wouldn't bring a baby? Well, unless you know you're looking forward to prison, I guess. The story security also captured much of the incident. Owner Sean Knapp, who wasn't president at the time, said he found the footage quote incredibly disturbing. I think so. And while the baby did sustain some injuries include I think the baby may have broken his arm. There's not enough prison for these two, He

said. He's glad this situation didn't turn out worse, as even after the waitress was initially assaulted with the baby, other bystanders had stepped in. Good Police also added to both Nuel and Lafoux, who are under twenty one, were drunk at the time. The baby transferred to a local hospital for medical treatment. The affid excuse me, the affid David doesn't reveal who the baby belonged to. Oh my god. One of the women, the twenty year

old mother whose mother was with them. So the mother of the twenty year old is with these two who are playing baby beach volleyball and weaponize the baby and didn't step in, and I swear it says the Department of Children and Family Services, who currently has taken custody of the baby, is evaluating the background of Nowell's mother, who again was there to see if she can take custody of the child. So I'm assuming it is the twenty year old's baby.

Why do I have a feeling the reason the twenty year old thinks this is okay is because mom thought it was okay twenty years ago. It's wrong with people. Man Elon Musk said Monday during an interview he may move to require all users to pay a monthly fee to use Twitter excuse me, x whatever during a live stream event with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin net and Yahoo must describe it as a way to not only boost revenue, but more specifically target

armies of bots. I mean, he is right in that if every account did have a fee associated with it, running these big bot farms all of a sudden would not be advantageous. However, large scale social media company anytime they You remember that scam that used to go around that Facebook's going to start charging if you don't do stuff, and people would send that around and pass it and like twenty people send it to us on the show, and it's

like it's not true. Because people just couldn't fathom the idea that there would be they would require payment for one of the big, high profile social media outlets. They couldn't fathom it, even in Congress. Remember the congressional testimony of Mark Zuckerberg where the one idiot senators so they could push they could posh for free, how do you make money? And Zuckerberg had to go, we sell ads. But the idea that you'd have one of the big ones

require a subscription fee. Now granted, there is obviously a subscription option for Twitter, which in and of itself became some sort of weird argument with memes. This idiot paid for Twitter blue We played for a check mark. But a lot of that was bore out of people who thought they were entitled to check marks. They couldn't fathom others having it. But do you think that

twitters would be do you think Twitter would be what it is? I mean, I understand the bots are a thing, but the tool that it is if everyone had to pay for their account, I mean, obviously there'd be a bunch of people who would cancel their accounts. I mean, that's clear, right. I mean, I think it might be good because then you don't have to worry about the pores being on there and you'd be in trolled

and having to associate with the pores. Check well. I mean, obviously I'm not going to have like the low tier version because they say there's gonna be like a premium version, which I have, and then like a like a like a low tier like a poverty like so it's like you're not as poverty as not having, but you're still kind of poor. So I mean, if you're complaining about and imagine how much would it be, like like

a buck a month. I don't know. I admittedly even you know, even at a buck, I think that that solves your troll problem or your bought problem. For the most part, I still think there'd be people that would because there's different ways that people use fake accounts to manipulate it, like the fake account armies that they use to shame businesses and pretend there's more of

them for cancel culture purposes. I still think that there'd be there's enough political money thrown in that direction that they you know, they he might continue to engage, but you know those buy ten thousand followers. Can you imagine what this would do to some accounts by the way, where you're like, how does that person have three interactions on their tweet? But fifty thousand followers? Right, you've seen those accounts, and I think those accounts all of a

sudden would have a lot less followers. But that manipulation happens everywhere. I think that happens on Twitch, right, people have faith like they'll have like two thousand followers, Yet if they do a live stream, that's different. So what people do on twitches they pay for the viewers. That's what I mean. You you'll see somebody and it's like you know, they have like a hundred somebody people watching the stream, and then you go there, but

then know what's chatting? And no one is talking because those people and you don't you don't pay, Like when you pay for that, it's like one and done. I think, so like you that's what I've like, you pay for it. Yeah, and then it's like you'll have a hundred people which have never had in your in your chat room watching no one's talking because they're all paid for it. In the next stream, it goes back to

your base. Well, maybe they're not talking because some have moderators. There are such monsters that if you say anything, they'll just time you out. Well, I think you just have to, you know, be able to read the room. And I think it comes down to you if you're if you're a person like that, then it's going to be just blocked. Yeah, it probably comes down to your personality. You probably should do some self

reflection there, see how you're treating people. I would imagine you think that's hypothetical, right, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, that's what we're going for. Hypothetical, right there. Huh, all right, well, what do you know? Seven forty seven ray Yo Fantasy football stage? It joining us who's well, who's the tomorrow game? I don't have it in front of me. I forgot who's the tomorrow Guiana, We're either really awful or really good? Yeah, we don't. We don't know yet. Well,

Barkeley won't play. I think that's that's right. Week the week, No, I didn't have My wife did, She was like, who do I play this week? Barkeley's got a huge We don't play Keeler. Jared Allen Jared Allen, I told her number sixty nine for the Vikings play. And we'll see if there's any impacts, not tomorrow, but for the weekend for any college football, high school football on Friday night Saturday. With this coastal thing going and then further up the coast, I think a lot of

the moisture is gonna be read along immediate coast for the weekend. Now, this is probably not going to be tropical. They're thinking non tropical right now. This area of low pressure's forecast to develop, but it could even spread some rainfall into the triangle and the try it. The rain chances lesson as

you go toward the west, but beautiful until then. Uh yeah, I know there's some cloud and a little fog around this morning and some partial sun today, but still eighty or just a tonight tomorrow, cloudy, still at our above eighteen. That rain chance comes in Friday afternoon from the east, going to get a little breezy too, and as I said, triangling out near the coast, better chances of rain into Friday night, maybe Saturday into

Saturday morning. We'll have to see certainly the coast rain and more wind, more chewing up of the coastline, and coastal flooding. Whether it gets a name or not, we're going to have a storm on the coast. So I'm trying to get one of those last kind of beach weekends in where maybe you just want to go to the beach, maybe not get in the water. I'm not going to be pretty. I think Sunday is a chance all

the rain will be done. So it's a little iffy right now. I think we'll have a better kind of forecast for Friday, Friday afternoon and Saturday as we talk tomorrow. But right now, a couple of pretty decent days coming up here over the next couple of days. And you know, as I said, it's gonna be questionable to where the rain and where the rain is. It is not as we go through the latter part of the week, we can't you know why we can't get in the water? Right?

No, all these these jerks decided to save that stupid mako shark. Did you see that? Oh yeah, don't you got a giant mako shark that has willingly beached itself on that Florida beach. Right, so it can't eat anybody unless you get right up on it. And these a holes go over and like, let's get it back in the ocean so it can eat the kids, and and they do. And so now we got a big old Mako's probably pretty hungry from struggling while being beached. Sure, just swimming around

looking for Johnny. Yeah, and he's a pretty good size too. So anyway, all right, sorry, don't go in the water. Thanks, man, appreciate it. Yeah, did you see that? Did you see these idiots? Homer, their wives sitting around watching this too dangerous? Don't be doing that. She's already she's like, what was our life insurance policy? Let him? No, Oh, it's not dead. It's thrashing around trying to bite people. Oh, they got it. Now it's gonna eat

you stupids. All right, we'll be back Smart talk all DAYPTI in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. No, I'm not sure. I'm not sure how that would work. I'm assuming that what are they called big wheels, right, or the things that the motorized kids like Jeep runs on the battery. It's a big wheel right, maybe it's something else. I think he had big wheels and power wheels, power wheels,

well, whatever it is. Every year for the Christmas parade, I get one of those and then I juggle Christmas babies, right, they're in little like Santa's Elf outfits, and then just drive that depth and we're gonna have to take that yeah, and put some jingle bells behind it. Yeah. Oh that would be an easy mix, man, it would be yeah. Back, do we have jingle I mix it right here? Do we have any jingle bells? See if we have jingle bells, and then put it

on one of the pot three spots, I'll mix on the floor. I'm you know, at the end of the day, I just say, don't call me a DJ because we're talk hosts, but we're also DJ's or any Christmas music. Really, that's just that's just a bed. Maybe some Trans Siberian. Do we have any Trans Siberian in the music category? We got to the problem is you search in the library jingle bells, jingle and you get like five thousand different cups. No, that's right because all the jingles

and stuff. All right, hold on, I'll just got to search by artiste artiste. Oh, now it's gonna take an hour to load because we got way too much music in there. Can we search it on sound Plus? Do we know that's an inside joke. Don't worry about that. Lieutenant

Governor Mark Robinson gonna be joining us here at eight oh five. We got Christmas and Sandy and we're gonn get into the budget because apparently now they figured out they getting they can do a budget and give the Democrats exactly what they want and get nothing in return. Now that being said, there was a lot of people who didn't want anything to do with the casinos anyway. So yeah, we gotta have transli Beerian in here. Huh ah, Yes,

here we go. Christmas Eves. That's a little slow, a little something perfect, got it right here, got what I need? Now we're gonna go mad Russian perfect because you'd have to be all right, so you think just Christmas theme it up and everything will be fine. Now now it's a little slow, I need something a little bad, all right, but it's it's the it's the right gist. Yeah, you'd watch me juggle babies in

health costumes to this? What did she? Of course it would, that's my new hot sigle get me in the a rotation over on the other station. We're gonna get paid, all right, Lieutenant Governor joins us. Next, hang on, all right, Good morning everybody. It is eight oh seven and happy Wednesday to you. Case O Day Radio program phone number eight

eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. As we cruise into this hour though, we are going to we're going to be doing our interview that we do twice monthly with the Lieutenant Governor now, so your calls will be coming up a little later, but let's go ahead and dive into it. Mark Robinson joining us. Good morning to you, sir. How you doing? Okay? How are you doing? I'm pretty good. I'm very angry this morning. Have you been following what's going on with the Raleigh Christmas Parade?

Are you on this? I worry about Oh my good. Let me just bring you up to speed. So the mayor of Raleigh decided she was going to cancel this year's Christmas parade and then replace it with quote holiday activities.

I'll let you imagine what those might be, of a progressive nature, and her reasoning was they wanted to do it to honor the family whose daughter was tragically killed during last year's parade when a truck struck her, and except the family didn't want the parade canceled, nobody could figure out why she wanted

to steal the joy from the children. And now they're doing this gamesmanship where they'll give parade, you know, they'll let parades go forward that some would describe as seemingly progressive parades, but they didn't want to have a Christmas parade this year. And some people are reading that as they didn't like the fact that it's still called a Christmas parade. If he catch my drift, Mark, I don't understand as a politician. This is what I'm asking you.

How could somebody put something on your desk to cancel a Christmas parade and you not go this is a horrible idea. I'm not saying you would do it, but like, don't you talk to your staff about stuff, even just to make sure you're not having a brain lapse on things like this. I mean, how do these things move forward? Man? In casey, we are living in days of lunacy, absolute lunacy, and so it does not surprise me that a that an empty headed leftist would would would do such a

thing. It doesn't surprise me at all that someone like that would do it, given the fact that we have politicians now that sit in the office and want to defund the police and want to remain silent while children are fit pornography uh in our schools and and and some of them agree with it. Uh, it doesn't shock me at all that they would do. And I think that the people need to speak up and speak up vihetmently, and uh if they say they still can't, they're not going to have a Christmas parade.

I think the people should come together and have their own Christmas parade, uh despite them. And uh if they would like to send out some type of police force or something to to bash them all up to hear the culture trying to have a Christmas parade, and so be it. But I think the

people should just step to ignore it and have a Christmas parade anyway. Yeah, I've heard it's perfectly legal for you and a bunch of life minded folks, whoever it may be, whatever someone's group is, to literally just a mass on the streets do whatever you damn well please, and there's really not going to be any penalty for it. In fact, the governor may even come out and walk with you with a with a mask hanging off his ear. Had you seen this, absolutely? Yeah, that seems to be the

status quot these days. Right, So I think that those folks who want to have a Christmas parade, they should do the exact same thing. Yeah, well, now it looks like they're gonna They told them they could, but now they can't have vehicles, which I don't know how you pull floats with that. But everything's just insane. All right. Let me let me get over on the political side of things. So, the back and forth and the teeth nashing over what exactly the budget's gonna look like has been building

up to a crescendo. Yesterday we found out it looks like this thing's gonna go forward. It will not include casinos or video gambling machines. Seems that they're enough Republicans that were also opposed to it. Many people have criticized the process leading up to this. I know you don't get a vote, right, you are head of the Senate, but you don't get a vote in this. Uh. That being said, I'm sure you know you're involved in

some of the conversations that are happening down there. What did you think of the process, the casino ideas and the video gambling, I mean, what, what what did you think of that? Before we get to some of the other stuff. I'm curious your opinion on it. I'm gonna I'm gonna make it plain about gambling. I'm not in favorite of gambling. Hell, if I was counseling the young person talking to someone and ask me about how I feel about gambling casinos, I don't. I don't go in because I

don't. I've been in casinos for other purposes, because I've been in the facilities there for compasses and things right, and I don't gamble. I don't play lottery, and I'll advise anybody else to do that. I'm not in favor of of of of that either. That is not the type of industry that I'd like to see come to North Carolina. I'm making that perfectly plaint is as what I believe. That's not what I'm in favor of. However, I do believe, uh cases that the folks down in Robinson County,

the Lumby Indians in Lumbian County, in Lumby the Lumby Indian. Lumby Indians in Robinson County should be able to have a referendum to put gaming in their area if they want. The other three counties, however, there were a great number of people who were viehtnably aggainst it. And despite what anybody may say, the process as we have set up work, the people made their

voices heard. I went into the the appropriate places where I needed to speak and speak the folks to have my voice heard and have my opinion put in with those folks who made these arguments. And we're in the in the halls of our legislature and we see the results. The people came out and spoke and said they did not want these casinos, and they made plane and their representatives heard them, and we're moving forward now with a budget that doesn't that

is not going to include that. At some point, I suppose maybe that issue may come up again and we can have that fight again. But it is over and the budget is now free of that, and we're gonna pass It looks like the budget is gonna pass. The only thing in that budget that I'm still a little dismayed with that we have passed is Medicaid expansion.

I'm still not in favor of that. But as I've told people, Medicaid expansion goes through, and the budget goes through, and Medicaid expansion becomes part of what we're doing here in North Carolina, We're just gonna fight like to make sure we get the absolute best results of it. I've talked to a number of people in the healthcare industry. They have great confidence in that.

I believe we're gonna be able to make that happen. But I'm glad to see that the General Assembly has come together realize that divorce of the people have been heard, and they're going to pull that out and they're gonna move on. I understand that that is the opinion of a lot of folks, like, we're gonna we're gonna figure out how to do this as efficiently as possible.

We're not going to get into the pitfalls and other states have gotten into, Ohio being a very good example where it ends up costing a lot more money. But Ohio set out with that goal, right, and and other states have set out with that goal. And the problem is, you know, Mark, is that once you get something going in from a government standpoint,

getting it not going as damn near and possible. So I think people see it as a failure to negotiate on the part of Republicans because part of that was, Okay, we'll do this, but we expect to get something. And what happened the governor went out and essentially said, I don't care what it is you want. I don't care what it is that you said. I want what I want, and screw you on what you want. Remember he was criticizing the school vouchers and everything. And the reality is,

what did Republicans get. They look like they negotiate worse than Joe Biden just did with that Iran deal. Yeah again, I'm not pleased that you're not suppose you're talking about Medica expansion here. Yes, yes, I am, Yes, I'm very I'm still not pleased that we passed Medicaid expansion, casey, when negotiations that went on behind closed doors. Unfortunately I was not able to be a part of those negotiations. But I can't tell you this, uh, I don't. I don't like the fact that we have it.

I don't like the fact that it's here. And I am praying vehemently that we don't fall into the pitfalls of those the states have as far from what I understand, our MEDICAI expansion does have a provision that what the federal government goes back on their on their agreement that we could opt out of the that we could opt out of it, and that our Medicaid expansion deal was much

different than any of the states Medicaid expansion deal. Even with that, DSCA and Casey, I still have a very hard time trust in the federal government when it comes to this, and my objection to Medicaid expansion still stands. But again, if it's gonna be here, we've come to this consensus, whether it was a bad deal or not, we're going to do our best to make sure we can get the best out of it. I'm really i

you know, and I'm really disappointed that they didn't include you more. If that is the case, because the chances are that you are you there's about a fifty percent chance that you could be the next governor if you secure the Republican nomination, and obviously you want to have a good working relationship with those at the legislative level. They know where Josh Stein stands. But you know, why wouldn't Why wouldn't they make more of an effort to bring Mark Robinson

into the fold since from a polling standpoint, you are leading Republican. Well, you know the way the way it's structured, the way my job is structured. Uh, it doesn't include the Lieutenant governor in those things. And we have made an application to try to stay within the bounds of the job description that we've had. Uh. And and I'm gonna be completely tandied here.

It's been one of the most difficult parts of my job, understanding what my role is, Understanding what the job description is, how it's laid out. UH, the protocols that exist inside inside the legislature, we've tried to stick to that, try to avoid conflict as much as possible when I and

when I say conflict, I don't mean disagreements. But we've not tried to turn this into some nasty public fight that's going to divide us and keep us divided and cause hard feelings blah blah blah all the way down the line. Uh. It's been a very difficult type rope to walk, very difficult,

and but I believe that in the end it's gonna playoff Casey. I believe that in the end it's going to pay dividends for us, and that we're going to be able to do much more here in the future, and that some of the things that we've seen thus far that we've been very disappointed in, I think we may see a Barder day coming up here soon. Mark.

You can agree disagree with this, that's fine. I'm of the opinion that when that Phil Berger and Tim Moore don't need the governor, and it doesn't matter whether it's Roy Cooper, it doesn't matter if it's you or somebody else. I think that from a power play position, those two are the most powerful people in the state of North Carolina bar none, due to the override majority that they have, and it really doesn't matter to them who's the

governor because ultimately they're going to ignore what that person wants. Anyway. Do you share those concerns, even even though you guys may have ideological agreement and so on stuff. I don't think they give a flip what the governor wants because they don't have to. What is what is your take on that? Well, there are a lot of people who believe that a lot of people who believe that the current structure of our government needs to needs to uh needs

to be changed. I think that I have a good enough working relationship with those individuals, uh, both of those individuals. UH that should I you know, when I should I become donor. My wife always tells me when I become governor. Yeah, influence, She's gonna say that my influence will matter a great deal uh with with what those are in that legislature, because

I've been willing to work hand in hand with those folks. Uh. Even again, even when we disagree, we have still been willing uh to uh to try to keep the peace as much as possible, even when we disagree, UH, keep a great deal of respect for both individuals and continue to work with them. And I think in the future if speaker more, I'm not sure he's going to be there. And I believe so. The burger will be when we need to work together on the things that we're going to

that we're going to legislatively. I don't see a problem there. I don't see a problem. And if there is a problem, we will tackle that problem appropriately when it when it rises. Yeah, And I don't think it's a you thing. Mark. I think it's whoever fills that chair. They're really in a position where all right, well thanks for weighing in, but we're gonna do what we're gonna do. I gotta switch gears just real quick.

For the for the second time here, a week ago you had this, uh, this panic at U N S. And in this case, a person stroll in allegedly to a bagel joint, flashed a handgun and made threats. This very same individual, nine days prior, at a little store just down the road, strolled into that little store with a bat and a handgun and threatened to murder people in there, and was almost immediately returned to

the streets. And that oversight and lack of give a crap on the part of prosecutors over on the Durham Chapel hillside of things apparently was ignored by students who decided to descend upon the state capitol and ignoring how do you how do you talk to somebody and say, look, I understand that you may think that we need different state laws, but in reality, if your prosecutors would actually do their job, it likely would have staved off that event because that

person would have been incarcerated it's a symptom of a larger problem. You know, people who think they're actually politically engaged and understand what's going on don't even understand the absolute basics of basics of all laws cases. They don't understand the basics of all laws. These constitutional scholars who argue with police officers on the side of the road, they don't understand the basics the The police officer is not the judge, he's not the prosecutor. Here's not the person that you

are to make your argument too. You make your argument in port and people don't understand that simple premise. They argue with a police officer who is simply writing the citation. He's not convicting you, he's not taking your money, is simply writing the citation. But this is exactly but the same but the same thing applies here. These folks don't understand the legislature already has laws in place to take care of this individual. It is your district attorney that you

have voted for that is not doing this. Your protests should be down at his office, yeah, Well mean where your protest? Yeah? And meanwhile, the problem is they see it is that Mark Robinson's going to give away an AR fifteen that has I am the majority and let it rain written on it as a fundraiser thing, and like somehow you're gonna be going and handing those out to felons on their way out of prison less than a minute mark. I mean, people's priorities are whacked, man, they are they are

that. People want to always come and punish the good guys. They want to handcuff the police. They want to disarm the law by the citizens. But when it comes to punishing the criminals, we do not do it anymore. We do not hold the guilty party's responsible anymore. We have got to have DA's in place that have gonne throw these people in jail and put like we say in the old days, wrote a book at them as hard as we can. They don't do it anymore. It's a revolving door of crime.

And now the folks that vote for these people are out protesting against people who set the laws to put these people in jails. Put these people in jail. It's ridiculous. Well and by the way, I need you to pick my name for the AR fifteen. Okay, alright, so got it? You got it? At one of those all right, Thank you, sir, appreciate it. Okay, you got it, Thank you and we'll be back. Hang on everybody your day Smarter one oh six one FM Talk

and News Talk four five PTI more with Casey starts now. All right, good morning. It is eight thirty seven here on the k c O Day Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. Glad to have you long interview there with Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson. You want to weigh in on it. We covered all sorts of fun stuff Christmas Parade

and budget and das and aren't expected to do anything. And then when their citizens find themselves having a deal with criminals that think, hey, I could probably get a bagel up. Great if I flash a handgun, then they have to act surprise. We got that going for you. You want to wait end on any of that, Feel free to go ahead and do that real quick. Want to mention this do the Department of Homeland? Are you sitting down? I'm gonna need you to be sitting at ross? Are you

seated in sey? Your tone? Should I go prone? You might? Did you see it? By the way, you see those chairs? I posted on Twitter yesterday? Did you want one of those for the several What do you wait hold on when you need more than one giant massage chair. I actually hit a button and Alderon's gone, by the way, So you gotta be careful in most things. Oh. The Department of Homeland Security announced yesterday the creation of a Homeland Intelligence Experts Group. That sounds good, right.

Remember it was a lack of information sharing around nine to eleven that raised a lot of concern, So you know, you Homeland Intelligence Experts Group probably wants some smart people on that, right. The panel will include private sector experts who will provide their unique perspectives of the federal government's intelligence enterprise. That's great, okay, Like who the first two appointees former CIA director John Brennan

and former Director of Natural National Intelligence James Clapper. Can we just have everyone that told us that the Hunter Biden laptop was disinformation? Yeah? People on the K's a big committee. I remember these two are also driving the whole Russia collusion hoax. And those are your first two people, those are the first. Brennan's running away, he was all over TV like yuh. The Krebs, a Manchurian candidate, Hunter Biden's They're not that's not real. It's

Rushia collusion. That's your intelligence panel. So it's oxymore on day up in Washington. Oh, I just kid, I'll look at that all right. Well, I said, hey, this is what we're talking about. You want to call in, So we got Mark Walker just out of disclosure. Mark is obviously running against Mark Rodinson and the governor's race. But hey, anyone who wants to call in is welcome to call in. But I will just you know, put that out there. Mark. How you doing this

morning? I'm doing fine. Casey. I hope you and Rosster hanging in there. Let me just let me ask you this because I know you called in obviously to talk about casino stuff. It says here my culture. That's fine. I'd tell you were you were on intelligence. James Brennan or John Brennan and James Clapper are the are the big brains you're bringing in for your

your your committee. There the heck's going on, man. They're the ones that led the effort of trying to find all those former intelligence officers that that simply slammed the hunter by as a Russian hoax. These are the two guys that led it, and you're gonna put them on the committee. I mean, how disingenuous can you beat. They're not even trying to hide their intentions anymore, that's the problem. Wait, hold on, hold on. Ross

has just been named to the National Guacamole Board. All right, buddy, Yeah, that's he hates guacamole, so well, he'll have to find time not baby juggling, uh, to be able to again. Man, some lady was horrified. I'm like, ma'am, you're juggling. Machettes would be a lot more dangerous. Babies are soft, So I owned her. I'm sorry to deviate into that, but I'm looking at this like it's it's April Fools every day around here, all right, So what's what's the casino thing

you wanted to come in on? Yeah. The only thing more observed than the baby juggling was some of the responses from the Lieutenant governor. Let me let me applaud first, these communities who dug in, spent their own money for the last four months and fought to the end. Even though they were told that the house always wins, they stuck to it. So the credit

goes to the people in these communities that organize themselves that showed up. We had nearly eight hundred people, most in history show up for a county commissioner meeting. Let me put credit where credits due. These people fought tucsonnel and Mark Robins is not correct. No, the representatives didn't listen to them. Senator Burger never met with these folks. Mark Robinson never met with these folks. In fact, his response to the people is that he's no longer an

activist. That's a quote. And even what he said today that his job description really doesn't include creating conflict. Well, look, your voice is to go and fight for the people. That's what you should be doing. And I think that was just problematic and disingenuous. And I'll also add this, if your only problem with the budget, if he even knows what's in the

budget, is the medicaid expecsion. How about the MC innovation project. Are we supposed to be excited that instead of one point fill four billion dollars of taxpayers money, it's only half a billion. He needs to be studied. And the fact that they won't even let him in the room to participate as

the president of the Senate tells me a lot. So, yeah, a little bit on a rent this morning, because those answers to your questions, very fair questions, were disingenuous at best, maybe even dishonest at worst. Okay, but what Yes, as president in the Senate, he may be

President of the Senate, but he doesn't get a vote. And I'm not wrong in saying that if he gets if whether he's the governor, lieutenant governor, or you're the governor for that matter, if you get into a room with the current power structure, with the override ability of Burger and more, they have no there's no reason why they should care if you're on the other side of an issue that you're on the other side, if they want to

do something because the math works in their favor, That's all I was saying. Yeah, but here's the point, Casey, whether it's Rawley or DC, you make care, you raise your voice. You're in an elected official position and the people, specifically grassroots across this state are counting on you to speak up. Whether you get to push the button at the vote at the end of the day is not the point here. It's the fact. Are you going to sit on your hands and do what you're told. There's a

reason that Phil Burger never stood with Dan Forest on anything. There's a reason that Phil Berger never stood at Pat mccroy. But he's the first one up the steps at mister Robinson's campaign announcement. This is why mister Robinson, in my humble opinion, has not spoken out publicly against any of these issues at any point for the last five or six months. You have a job to speak out, whether you get a chance to vote for it or not.

Why don't you Why are you going to do some baby juggling at the parade then if you're trying to encourage me to be the one in the barrel there or what, well, you know, possibly I you know, being an athlete to a few years ago, I think we could get to a three babies. You know, it depends on how high to volleyball net is. You know that that could be a problematic there. Who just I'll ask you the same question. I got a roll who sits there and goes, yeah,

yeah, let's cancel that Christmas parade? Like yeah, I would, I would. Here what you're talking about? We always you know, and as you do, condn't. This is a sad situation, for the for the for the daughter, and she should be represented to be able to have a Christmas parade. The family wants it, and it's ludicrous to think that you can just override it or pull the derminology Christmas out. Let's honor that family by having a Christmas parade there in Waite County. Let's just not be

brain dead, you know, I'm not. It's not a high bar mark that I'm asking for. So it's not if you have a good day before, right, thank you, thank you for that. All right, we're not asking for we're not asking for much here. Oh hold on, oh wow, look at this. Apparently the mayor has just had the candy vending machines removed from the children's cancer board at the hospital. I mean the preservatives

in those stakes, right, yeah. The one thing you wouldn't want for these kids deal with that is for their teeth to fall out, right or get a cavity. What is wrong with people? How is it so easy to come up with absurd scenarios that might not be absurd on their face when it's the canceling of the Christmas prey that God us here too easy? By the way, can you score me some guacamole with your new new position. You know, I got you all of it. You can have all of

them. Just get it away from you. It's your passion. Oh man, all right, eight forty six race Agack from the weather Channel. He's here, Ross's guacamole. That's weird. I don't like it either. What is wrong with both of you? One for each of you. Yeah, I just pass it off. We go to Mexican restaurants and get it on my plate. Everybody my family loves it. That's because the rest of your family's normal. Man. So yes, there's that. All right, give

us your appleather than Yeah. Yeah, it'll get worse before it gets better. But I think over the next couple of days, not bad. A lot of clouds depends on where you are today, but there's some sun mixed in, so try it and west a little more cloud Then you're starting to see some breaks in the overcast around the triangle either way, upper seventies,

low eighties. The more sunshine obviously, the warm you'll get. So you'll probably have the low eighties low eighties again tomorrow and then tomorrow night on it to Friday, especially Friday afternoon, we'll start to see the clouds sticking up. Low pressure try to develop off the coast and then might get some rain in here, low to mid seventies. On Friday, the winds start to pick up out of the northeast. So timing intensity of rain we'll see looks

like afternoon through Friday night, maybe Saturday. We'll probably have a lot more on the timing of all that. Might be a tropical system, might just be a regular low pressure, could be non tropical. Either way, impacts of the coast will be greatest with some gusty winds, and we may be dealing with some more beach erosion and maybe some more minor coastal flooding too. So any chance is going up actually from the triangle east, probably sometime on

Friday. All right, appreciate it, Thank you, yep, yep. And Jeff Bellinger's next hang on keeping you connected. This is w PTI in the Triad and one six one FM talk in the Triangle. All right, eight fifty three Jeff Bellinger Bloomberg Update. Now, Jeff, I hope that the stock market is smart enough to figure out that Don Junior's Twitter account was hacked, and Don Junior John Senior is not dead. Have you seen this

insanity? I have not so. Donald Donald Trump Junior's Twitter account tweeted out about forty five minutes ago h quote, I'm sad to announce my father, Donald Trump has passed away. And yeah, but they also tweeted out this just in North Korea is about to get smoked and f Joe Biden stupid A word N word. So hopefully they'll be smarter than that, and you know, make a run on the banks or whatever. So anyway, I'm sorry Tory to lead you in with that insanity, but it's kind of breaking news.

Anywo. What's going on? Well, today is a decision day for the Federal Reserve. Economists still think the Fed will leave interest rates unchanged. Blueberg Intelligence as central bankers will probably indicate that another rate hike is possible before the end of the year, but it will be a close call. Since yesterday morning at this time, two more big retailers announced their holiday hiring plans.

Amazon dot Com will hire two hundred and fifty thousand seasonal workers, Target will add one hundred thousand temporary workers, and the Postal Service says it's going to add about ten thousand holiday workers. Home loan demand the rebounded last week. Mortgage bankers say total application volume was up nearly five and a half percent from the prior week. Elon Musk is con entering putting his ex short messaging service behind a paywall as a way to keep bots off the platform previously known

as Twitter. Musk says a modest monthly subscription fee would make it too expensive for operators to continue using their bots and the Casey. A new analysis by the job site Indeed says the happiest workers in the US are those employed by Loves travel stops and country stores. Loves as a privately held company. It's based in Oklahoma City. It scored the highest and reviews by employees who rated

their companies on happiness, stress, satisfaction, and purpose. Casey always, we got one between Raleigh and Greensboro, and that's where I stop generally when I'm going between the two stations. So I like the Loves, So good for them. All right, thank you, all right, Okay, have a great day. Yeah, there you go. Jeff Bellinger, Bloomberg News. Oh no, Ross, you see this stock market. All the money's gone, It's all gone, and it's gone. I love that South park

me, We'll put your money in the bank. All right, two quick calls, Corey, You're up first, go add oye. Hey. You know, at the end of the day in North Carolina, with this expansion, it just shows that there's really no difference between Republicans or Democrats. It's all about expanding the government and increasing power and control and money. So what's the point of having a veto proof majority if the Republicans are just going to

do what the Democrats want? And on a second note, I'm really disappointed the Lieutenant governor that a few months ago you had asked him when this conversation started about what he thought about the expansion, and he avoided the question and basically said that the legislator had to go through the process of deciding what to do, and now as they decided what they're going to do, of course

he's against it because that's what the base wants. But then he says it hands off, I had nothing to do with this, so stop my fault. Yeah, they're just buying votes. So what's the point of voting for a Republican if all they want to do is most parties are the exact saying this is the exact thing. They're all about powering people. You're right, you know what, You're right. I should just be in charge, So I agree, would agree. No, Ross, Ross wants to taze everybody.

He literally said, he's just gonna walk around taising people. Do you want to live in that dystopia? I think not right? Twenty four right the light he stomp it. All right, thanks Corey for the car there. It's so horrible, like, yes, even Barry and Baldwin couldn't come up with the worst slogan. I said, you're all gonna pay. I mean, I've been nothing but honest with you. I've thought you meant taxes and we already are. So no taxation is staff. But he's doll That's

a good point, all right, Donna, real quick? What's up? Good morning, Casey. Yeah, I was just calling to talk about the hack. We don't know. I mean, that's not prevenan. Yeah, you know, I mean his opinion about Joe Biden. You know, whoever it is. If it's not him, you know, maybe we should hear him out. No, come on, is North Korea? North Korea is still there, so I don't think it's true. So yeah, and the reports of Trump seniors death has been greatly exaggerated. I have a question.

If they figured out somebody the US hacked it, are they going to charge them with election interference? Yeah? Right, okay, all right. I mean even though that would literally I would fit the literal definition when they went after other people for remember we got a dude doing jail time because of memes. Oh yeah, yeah, just saying all right, all right, day by bye, yeah, ride the Lightning twenty twenty four. Who's voted for that? It's a new roller coaster we're setting up and wake forth? Oh

is it okay to further blot out the sun above your house? But it's actually gonna be on the other side of the new condos, So it blots their son out. Because if you can't have any son, no one can't know to light it up. Tasers were very effective. All right, we'll see you tomorrow.
