Wednesday-11-8-2023

All right, good good morning everybody, and welcome. It is six oh seven. Sorry, I just got like I got like ten different results stuff. But I had to kind of get together this morning because we uh put the prep together obviously before election results get in. Uh, how do I let's see here what what would be the the the the takeaway? Republicans got smoked yesterday. I know I read some articles were like, that's not a

fair assessment of what happens. But when you but when you looked at the big races around the country, and you know, the ones where maximum effort, maximum promotion was being put in. I'm sure maximum radio ads were running in repetition as well as TV stuff to the point where people's brains want to explode. But you know, we know how that is. Here in North Carolina, it wasn't even close. Like, let me give you an example. Kentucky. What do you think of Kentucky? You think it's a blue

state, a red state, a purple state. I mean, what do you what do you think two Republican senators almost their entire congressional delegation, but the Democrat Andy Basher won reelection. Plus I think they're all Now do you do a story about how they're all racist because the Republican was the ag who's a black dude and beat him. So so cis white male beats black guy in Kentucky. I mean, if it was flipped, that's where we'd be.

But it's not. So here we are Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania is interesting, man. So Pennsylvania's big race up there was a Supreme Court seat, which obviously you know how important it is when you're trying to flip flip the court over there. And in Pennsylvania, that's what they needed. Man. You know, in Pennsylvania, Democrats really have they have control, man, got a whole lot of control. And I point this out because that was what

Republicans up in Pennsylvania were looking at as a stopgap, man. But it would not turn out that way. In fact, it was actually looking pretty good with exit polling four Republicans up there, and then a thing happened, kind of an interesting thing. So up in Pennsylvania, let's see Democrat Daniel McCaffrey is I guess the newest or soon will be the newest Pennsylvania Spring Court according to Decision Desk. Now, this wasn't for flipping thing like we had

in North Carolina. But it gave Democrats a big majority now five to two. And what was important is they have other races coming up pretty quickly, and I don't know if it's because of retirements or what, because I don't live in Pennsylvania, but they had this pathway that they're really trying to achieve.

And it was the tale of how people voted. So if you simply look to in person voting, it was who was the I didn't see the republic It was the Republican Carolina Yeah, Republican Caroline Carlows was the Republican candidate. Oh no, this white male beats a woman. Yeah, okay, so this this seat was actually it wasn't a retirement. It was actually a death. One of the justices died. So so you couple that with the special election, and then I believe you have two you would have two seats

up in the next election. So that was really where the effort was being put in. And if you look to, you know, in person voting, Carlucci handily won that handily won it. But then the mail in ballots got out and it wasn't even close. In fact, the Democrat received three times as many mail in ballots, and it was a lot of ballots. I mean we're talking hundreds and hundreds of thousands of ballots. And by that point, there you go, they're you know, they're they're calling the race

when they start seeing those numbers come in. A couple little takeaways from that the you know, Joe Biden, I can't remember what he called this piece of garbage. Hold on, I was gonna look this up because it just popped in my brain right for the show got on the air. But there was an executive order that the Biden administration did, and it had to do with obligations of federal federal employees as well as I guess kind of deputizing state

employees for individuals who were receiving public assistance. And basically the test ground for this was Pennsylvania. It was Pennsylvania, New Jersey. They had about five states identified, but for the purpose of this, Pennsylvania. And basically what it was is the people who are working to you know, interact with folks or receiving any sort of public assistance like snap things like that, had an

additional task. And the additional task was that they had to go and help and encourage individuals to not just get registered, but also walk them through the mail in voting and set it all up. And specifically this they estimate that over the course of the next five years, this could lead to This is from strategists, this could lead to an additional three and a half million mail in ballots in quote unquote Swing states that for Democrats. Right, that's just

the number for Democrats. And you know, if that's probably a pretty safe place to target. Generally, if you look at individuals who are on public assistance and you do you know, you do studies and you try to get

the numbers together, the percentage that vote Democrat is much higher. And you know, people chalk that up to the perception and I only say perception now because there's a lot of free spending Republicans out there that those are the folks that are going to keep the spigot on, you know, so, you know, just in the deviancy of all of that, and you know, the hyperpartisan nature of it, we don't really get a lot of those stories

in the in the in the media. We get when Republicans do things like, oh, why are Republicans targeting this particular group because they know that that's where a lot of the voters are. Well, it's it's a game that's played all over and it's one that seems to be very successful. But here's my question before I get in. And we obviously have some we have some races here in North Carolina. We got to mention too, like I'm scratching my head on a few, but I am all right. So there's there.

There's two thoughts on this, and I want to throw it out to you this morning. And I know it's early, but you know, let's let's get our brains working early today. Okay, mind's about seventy five percent, which is pretty good for me after staring for an hour sitting this morning staring at election results. One it obviously it doesn't appear that the GOP is embracing mail in ballots when historically mail in ballots where the GOP tended to win.

However, it was such a low number that for a lot of races they called the races long before mail in ballots were even added to the tally, especially ballots that were late arrivals, such as the military ballots, right,

which your obvious use of absentee mail in ballots not so anymore. But the Democrats have a very very thorough program, even coupled with, like I said, executive orders there and republic I know that a lot of people fundamentally have a problem with how that's being handled, especially after being led to during COVID like, oh, this is just temporary. But I guess my question

is what do you do? You can sit do you see? Do you sit there and continue to turn your nose up at it and rightfully point out that this was that people were lied to, which I don't disagree with you, or do you suck it up and go out there and uh and get into the mix and get your own program going. And secondly, and this is this is a this is a theory that days like yesterday's results make me wonder about. And boy, you could get into the four four D chess

on this too. Do you think we're now at a point where enough Republican voters have simply said that there are come to the conclusion that they don't feel elections are on the up and up and why bother? Which if you, if you're Democrats and you were able to convince your opponents of that, that's a big win for you. So I don't know the answer to that. I don't know the answer because each you know, each election is a little

different. Up in up in Ohio, they a lot of the voter turnouts seem to be surrounding a question on the ballot about in shrining abortion, and you know, with Roe v. Wade out, that's obviously an issue that's going to appear on a lot of ballots. And you wonder how many people that drives to the polls or do you throw it out the window and say, look, this is not this is not a major election. So they were just better able to rally. So I don't know where we're at.

I'm curious what you think, though, will give you some other results, talk about some state races and some other not you know, election related stuff, because I don't want you to slamming your car into a bridge pole today just to get away from it. So that's what I feel like doing after an hour of looking at this stuff. But it is what we do. So stay tuned back in just a few smart Talk all day nine four or five w PTI and then TRYAD and one six one FM in the triangle.

All right, good morning, everybody, and welcome back at is six twenty three. All right, I pulled this up. I thought I had pulled it up earlier. But it's just one of those things. It's just like you're trying to you're trying to drink from a fire hose, just going through election results. So here's the numbers. This is again, this is up in Pennsylvania, so in person voting the Demo. This is for the Supring

Court race up there that they threw buckets of money up. All told, the turnout in Pennsylvania total was let's see here, I'm just doing rough numbers here. I don't know it's it's about two million, two point one million, which obviously is not even remotely near the number of registered voters there. But these are these off your races, man. So in person voting, the Democrat received six hundred and eighty two thousand votes while the Republican received eight

hundred and sixty one. So obviously that was a clear victory of about two hundred thousand. But then they threw in the mail in ballots and it flipped it, and it flipped it almost exactly, with the Republican getting about one hundred and fifty thousand the Democrat five thirty which created a obviously a margin of victory of about two hundred thousand. Yeah, here we go. Here's the total. So it was two point two million. The Democrat won by two

hundred thousand. But again it was it was all about the mail in So I ask again, is this, do Republicans need to just go and just put together a huge mail in ballot thing program and just even if they don't like it, you just got to play by what's going on, even though again you're absolutely right, all of this is being manipulated and we were lied to. Right, we saw it in our own state with this gubernatorial candidate of ours sitting there trying to do backroom deals that the court had to slap

his hand down on. Or are we to the point where a lot of people really decided that the best example of this was the Senate runoff race in Georgia where people were telling Trump, hey, you got to shut up about this until after the race because they were feeling that it discouraged Republicans from going

to the ballot. But if you feel like the system's busted anyway and your vote's just going to get is not going to count, right, because the powers that be the Illuminati or the other party or whoever it is, rass I mean, and sitting under his hinge predicting what the world should do whatever. If you feel it's not on the up and up, do you think enough Republicans just like screw it. Man ain't going a map, which obviously

is very beneficial for Democrats. I think the Executive Order I was referencing, referred to as the Strengthening Democracy deputized federal agencies offices as well as any state governmental entities that work with federal officials for the delivery of public benefits to identify right, So this isn't just they're waiting for him to come into the office, like kind of With voter registration at the DMV, they were, in

addition to their other tasks, had to identify recipients of government aid that were not registered to vote. So they went through all the lists of people on the rolls to get snapped and other programs checked it against the voting roles, and once identified, they then reached out to them. It became part of their job. They reached out to them and got them registered to vote,

got them a mail in ballot, got every everything ready to roll. So they use they This is these are federal workers that were paying their salary who were tasked with specifically ballad harvesting for all practical purposes. Because again, you don't have to be a Brainiact to understand the breakdown politically of how people vote within that demographic, just like you don't have to. You know, you go to a white guy country club pretty probably now that's gonna go right.

So that was it, just nuts, man, just absolutely nuts. And so you had the sheer thing up in Virginia. The Assembly is now back with the Democrats, so youngkin will base its brilliant. You're gonna have a really hard time getting stuff done, and on and on it went. Now you're in North Carolina. We got some results that have me wondering, like have some people learned nothing? Thank you? Casey is on pt I in the Triad and one six one FM Talk in the Triangle. All right,

good morning, it is six thirty five k co Oka Radio program. All right, let's say, let's sit a few other things. We got some new mayors, we got some old mayors. We've got some council races too close to call. High Point has the first black man to ever hold the office, which was number one headline all over on in in some cases, and a lot of publications that chose not to run that level of excitement.

When the first lieutenant governor, who by the way comes from the Triad, uh you know, was instilled, that's weird, little a little double double standard there, perhaps I don't know, but yeah, So in Ohio, Ohio, and we had in our newscast there Ohio did it. They they enshrined abortion in specific parameters for it. But you know, this is the inevitability of get rid of Roe v Way because it's a state issue. There's this is this is state's figuring it out. I mean, this is part

of the process. They also, by the way, by like ten percentage points, legalized recreational marijuana. And Ohio and Ohio had, you know, used to be really the bell Weather you know battle state right Florida and Ohio for years and years, and Ohio had crept much more conservative recently. And I think that that really, I think that that really isn't indicative of turnout what you saw in Ohio. So how the individual parties are mapping this out

as we get into the big, big elections next year. I don't know. Let's see here, just a couple other things real quick, and then we'll get into the local stuff. Virginia legislature. I mentioned the Kentucky governor. Oh ross, did you see this? Goldie Wilson re elected? So good for him? Good for him? What is this? Is? What twelfth term or something? Now? Yeah, progress, this is the middle name? You know, this is this is a guy you want to talk

about, an actual hardscrabble story. I mean, this is a guy I used to work as a bus bay and a diner. Man. I don't know if you knew this. So and then one day dreamed big and dream big and you finished he's that one guy jump ship. Well that's true. That's a very good point, man. And he wanted he wanted to tab for free. Come on, dude, I mean he is you know, he's serving in the military, Navy. I think is probably what it was. And you know, especially this weekend with you know, Veterans Day right

around the corner, a lot of business is stepping up. We got some stuff in the stack too. I got to clarify. You want a tab and then a pepsi free? What is that? Even? I have no idea lunatic man. It's really good at that shooting game, though. Did you see him? Do you see him? I shall shall not be infringed, that's right, shall not obviously speaking to his military service. So h But in the form of other re elections, I did that a whole run up so I could make it back to the future joke. And I'm not

sorry, No, I'm not sorry. Yeah, totally worth it. Ah. But by the way, don't get ideas that be driving around with big speaker systems on vehicles, because I'll cut your tires. Okay, all right, just so we're all on record here now in the state of North Carolina, let's uh, let's let's get here. The mayor of Fayetteville was reelected Durham obviously, although voters really didn't have an option because with the two people of the ballot for mayor, we're both Democrats, because you know, they

they do that runoff model to get into it. But the the gentleman elected is obviously he has been a city council member for a while and he's basically he's gonna go in the same direction that his predecessors have. But he starts talking about, well, what do we gotta do about the crime. I think what we need is we need mentoring programs. Okay, all right, look I'm not a post to that you can have mentoring program What else? Well, also, we gotta we got to make sure that we got more

public housing, so we could probably take some park property for that. Really, I mean any not anything else? Maybe I don't know arresting people crimes And at this point I'm just like, is there is I don't know if there's any hope for these that are just battle zones. Man, how do you look at what's going on in Fayetteville? I don't look, I don't live in Fayeville. Maybe my perception is wrong. How do you look at what's going on in Fayetteville and go, you know what things are going?

Well? How do you look at what's going on in Durham? They had a shoot, didn't I think they had a shooting in one of like right downtown yesterday next to one of the polling places. Yeah, here we go, multiple people injured in shooting on East Main Street and Durham Because why not? Absolutely what else the Durham or city is gonna do? I was reading it this morning and at no point Is it like you were going to lock up criminals and it wasn't just North Carolina, a lot of say Philadelphia.

Obviously they got all their stuff figured out. So what do they do? Give me the moonbattist the moonbats perfect. Absolutely, yeah, we're gonna have a new functioning city council. Really, what does that look like? Does that mean you're just not screaming at each other over weird gotcha stuff? Because it's not like if you had been efficient, you would have been like, hey, you know what we need to do. We need to be more impressive in our policing because damn this is out of control. U want to

reintroduced Durham to the state of North Carolina. What does that mean? Durham is a place where we see a lot of crime stuff, But Durham is a place and also has a very impressive collection of restaurants, bars, and you have a d pact there. You have obviously bulls baseball. I mean it's got there's a lot of stuff to build around there that I have enjoyed over the years. I just don't enjoy getting shot. But that's me,

okay. I planned to build on what we started, said Williams. The city Wide Apprenticeship Program, the Task Force on the Status of Black young Men and Boys, Black and Brown young men and boys. The best thing you can do is put a w two in someone's hands. Our kids should not be bored. I mean, I get that. But if if you're willing to work right now, is it really a problem to find a job, especially in Durham where you have a lot of entry level jobs because of the

aforementioned things that I just talked about with this huge restaurant seen there. And what you have to do is you have to incentivize honest day's work over. Get rich now or die trying. That's a fitty reference, pretty hip. And the way that you incentivize that is you make one you have to make even if you can't make one more palatable like because look, nobody, nobody

wants to make entry level money. But that's what you got to chew through, right, you have to make the other one so unpalatable, like all right, So if you're gonna go in this direction, you're gonna go in this direction where you know you're gonna you're gonna get rich, you're gonna you're gonna commit crimes, You're going to engage in criminal activity for profit, I

eat, drug dealing, things like that. If you're going to do that, the consequences are going to be so severe that it ain't even worth it, right because you you can work on balancing that in a variety of ways. But simply telling people, hey, you know, rather than doing drive buys, killing kids eight year olds wanting to get snow cones, have you ever thought of bussing tables? That's no, nobody's gonna listen to that. So excuse me if I'm if I'm not super hopeful, at least from what

I read in the quotes there. Let's see here do do do all sorts of crap here? I'm going through. Carrie's probably gonna have a runoff race, or not a runoff race. Excuse me, because this was the runoff race, but they have an uncalled race because this is the district. Okay, that's what I thought. So this is the this is the district there that is partially in Wake County partially in Chatham County. So you're dealing with two different county boards. All right? Is it Kerry Town Council race.

I believe they were separated by just a few hundred votes and they have yet to count absentee, so that will continue. One more Greensboro. Look, you get the gist. If you want to know, go to the Board of Education whips or Board of ed. I keep saying that, damn it, the Board of Elections website, and you'll get get a little more, a little more details, like you know, like summerfield and stuff like that.

Let me flip over this. There's one other and I all right, I got like twenty different stories this where I was trying to get together that I thought was an interesting It was kind of rather interesting, perhaps provide some clues to what's going on. Oh that's right, Okay. Now in Mississippi race, the Republican for Governor Tate Reeves did win reelection, but it became it became much closer, much closer. And I remember when people are like this, this race is gonna be a it's gonna be a tight one.

I'm thinking Mississippi. You're telling me the Republicans can get re elected in Mississippi. But again, turnout manners and these are not huge turnout races. I've you got to see what the total number of North Carolina's is. Generally you gotta wait. Probably another day. I did see some estimates. Oh did poorn lady win? You know what? Crap, that's what I was gonna look up Now I remember why my brain I did remember the chick who was

had an OnlyFans with her husband. And then somebody pointed it out and they're like, she got revenge porned, right, they were even yesterday when I saw them talking about her on the news. They described her as a woman who had suffered what did they say, a woman who had suffered a like a revenge porn scandal or something. And it's like, no, no, no, no, she's the one who put videos of herself, you know,

getting that done online? Right. Her opponents didn't do that. I didn't see if she won, though I do know that they were very The big story in Virginia was the Assembly going back to Democrats and the transgender state senator getting elected. Up there, you're looking at a lot of Virginia media. That's what they're very excited about. So for yeah, we got a few Virginia listeners, but obviously there's a lot more there, all right.

So that's the that's the round up. And again the question I posed to you and I know it's early, especially when you look at like the Pennsylvania race. Do you think that the Republicans problem is more that they're not embracing and chasing absentee ballots in these states, or do you think that enough Republicans looked at everything that went on, looked at you know, all of the purported suggested an alleged shenanigans. You know, we just they just had They

were just overturning races in Connecticut and New Jersey for absentee shenanigans. That literally just happened. Maybe you didn't hear about that, But do you think that enough Republicans looked at that and went, you know what, it's not worth my time and the Republicans having much bigger crisis eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. All right, coming up on the show, we'll

get your calls. We got a little beth Wood update for you. That's nice And uh, yeah, I didn't really I guess how did I not know that the King of England does like a state of the Union. For some reason. I caught a few minutes of that and I just started laughing, just started laughing. I'll explain why. Coming up here on the kcoday Radio program one six one FM Talk PTI, two stations driving the best in talk. This is Cacoday and Carolina's Morning News. All right, good morning,

it is six fifty three here on the kcoday Radio program. Let's grab a phone call and then we'll get into a few other things. And I just wrote out there looking at the results, obviously there were a lot of a lot of races and even some ballot measures that Republicans way underperformed on. There were look, there were a few. They were able to get an

not assembly set, a council seat in New York. The problem was is that when they did redistortine, while they did increase their number, they increased the council seats too, and then those are all sucked up by Democrats. So it didn't really throw the tally off. But that was a little surprising. So is it just is it just fatigue and you got it's an off your election, And don't read into it, because I promise you, if they just swept all those races, Republicans would be like this is the new

normal and Democrats be freaking out. But I worry if there's enough Republican voters who look at the system and go, it's broke. Nobody's doing anything to fix it. Look at all the corruption, Look at this judge and the Trump casually what they're doing to him. That's not worth my time. So you have to wonder, Jamal, just about two and a half minutes, what's up? Last night was an absolute disaster. I am a republic and you know that, Casey, you know I love President trumpet. I will

stand by. Probably went to January. We six them boem known it twenty twenty was stolen. However, we as Republicans got to start doing the mail in Bolis just as well here in North Carolina. We got the State House, Senate, we got the lieutenant ownership, and we got the Supreme Court. Yes good can state too, so yes, yes, okay, But in other states like Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and stuff like that. Look, President Trump does not support doing Meilan violets, But we as Republicans got to stop

sitting on our hands waiting for President Trump to do everything for us. We are worse than Chilton. Sometimes there shall already be a game plan right now, have Meili in Viles? I think let me just be clear that wouldn't be under Trump's purview. That is an expectation of the GOP is a party, because that's that's too, That's what I'm saying together. So that's a McDaniel thing. And I haven't seen her response to this yet, so all

she should have been tacked out long time ago. She's horrible. She has at one of the legends in twenty sixteen, and they keep voting her. Yeah, because we want to make it look like when the Party of the versity and we let and win. Listen to chit ain't cut. They give me a white dealing with brawn hair, no why and know how to win. I believe trying and her Jamal didn't. Trump supported McDaniel. I love President Trump. Okay, I'm just telling you. I'm like, I'm trying

to figure this out on the fly. Man. I'm not even arguing with you. I'm just pointing these things, like there's all these things that don't make sense in conjunction with the other. And I've just come to the conclusion that enough people have said, screw it, it's so broke it can't be fixed. I'm gonna go to my cabin and hoard money. I held you know what case it comes a time where Republicans because now I need her. Somebody say it is that Glenn Younkin was trying to make it look that if

he won. Last night he was on childe President Trumpet. He's got ticked off about that. Publicans have to say, listen, the presidential election, the president's election. Did President Trump wins? This backstab and stuff got to go. But when it comes to our state and local we have to get out and do our part. If we have to do, get the mail in bias and do it, do it because all Melan Ballat is doing is going down. You see who's the registered Republican and then you just go,

hey you need a mailor in bolt and give them a Mellem violot. Now, yesterday they did call me to go vote in Durham. I'm like all of them Democrats. I don't vote for Democrats, but they still called me. How did they even get my number to call me to ask me? Am I going to vote to that Democrat trash here in Durham? I don't know. Yeah, who knows? But it shows you. And thanks for the call there, Jamal, I do appreciate it, but it shows you.

Uh you know the behind the scenes apparatus that's there. And look, some states, if they'reunder Republican control, they're not obligated to do mail in ballots. But other states that are, you know, like Pennsylvania, those aren't going anywhere. And recently we're strengthened. I guess some shrine or some instances would be a better word for it. So they're much harder to get

rid of because they see it as a winning strategy. And so we'll continue this conversation and much more as we get into hours number two and three coming up just a few minutes Hacy O Day Radio program. All right, good morning everybody, and how y'all doing. It's Wednesday, so I guess at the bottom of the hour will be well be an apple through the week in that excitement, not as excited as I was Ross to see all of our vacation approved. We got that note you Pa, Although all of that pails

in comparison to Ross's excitement for a roof. Oh dude, I'm so excited. Do you remember if you'd have told me one day that you'd be gender. I'm happy I know you, so you'd be ginned up for a roof replacement, like just shop the tombstone shot, the shop the burial plots of this so old dude. And I've been driving around like looking at roofs for

the past, like mud does that shingles going on? Man? Like that color like that could look good, that would make the house pop. You know, No, I'm not, but yeah, I've needed a roof. Our roof was damaged during Ophelia. Yeah, didn't have a roof for two years. So just rain coming in right now. Since September, Like I remember doing the Twitch broadcast and being like I was on stream and I was like, man, it's windy today. Man, this sounds does not sound

good. And it was like the next morning Marky said, hey, let's get the Halloween decorations out of the attic. Yeah you know, so go upstairs and we had put the Halloween decorations in the corner and to go back further than usual. We recently cleaned it out to make a better path and to look over and like this one beam, I'm like, how come this one beam looks like it has like varnish on it. I tell I'm like,

oh that's wet. And I took like a flashlight follow it all the way up to like the apex of the roof and like it was just coming down all the beams. I'm like, this is not good. So we brought too, like a but three different companies in uh. Two of them were like, dude, insurance is not going to pay for this one. Dude, Chad, I don't know why. I don't know straight up while you buy coverage, I know, right, I'm like, I don't know.

So now my buddy Chad comes out from Black Cloud Services. He comes out and he's like, yo, insurance is going to pay for this right away. And I'm like really, He's like yeah, he's a recalled Shingles in the storm and ya. And he starts talking and like shingles speak, which is like Greek. Give no idea what he's talking about. But I'm like, you sound competent. And then he brings his drone up above the house. Yeah, I hit a drone. He's like, do you want

to fly? And I'm like, oh, I'm so going with this company right and surprised, wait wait you got bought because somebody lets you use your drone. Well, it was so funny because he's like coming over like all the shingles and stuff, and he he goes to leave, he gets in his truck and he's like, oh man, I forgot the drone and own had been hovering over the house the whole time. I was like, dude, I mean it's so any long story short, Insurance is paying for all

of it. Yeah, not not a penny out of my pocket. Love, Chad, Love is love it. And uh, they're coming today, like now, they're in front of the house now and it'll be done by the end of the day. And I'm so excited. It's like Christmas. I know he's so excited. I'm not in Bellishie Ross has not shut up about this for like two weeks. I have been stressed out of my mind because I'm like looking at the weather and like I hope it doesn't rain,

and have a stupid tarp over my house. And you know, I'm worried about the wood riding and the foundation because they underneath, like we have the our heat pumps are underneath like upstairs in the attic. Because the way the house is set up. Remember what happened to the time share when the water came in out down there during the hurricane. During the hurricane down at top. So the only part where the water got in was in the crown on the cap of the house. Now Ross refers to it as his time shired.

It was doctor Campbell and uh, that little point of entualy. I remember being in that house up in the top floor where the living you know, because that's where you put your your your like living, your room, in your kitchen and whatnot. And the walls had turned colors. Yes, of all the water that got in, so just it doesn't take much many because that spot is right above Lincoln's room too. So I was like, I've been having horrible dreams about the house, like flooding and electrical damage.

Like I've not been sleeping good, but the past two days sleeping like a baby. In a great mood. Right, even came in on Monday, told you in Monday after the bills had lost. Yeah, you're expecting me to be down. I'm like, dude, I have in a super great mood. Yeah I get I'm so excited. Best gift in the world, not a penny out of my pocket. You imagine twenty year old you have dud, you know, having your forty years something, your old self go oh man, one day. One day, we went with it, and

you're wondering. We went with the gray cobblestone color, so it's going to really make the house cottage. You're gonna go like cobblestone. Oh, that's not a weight issue. Huh, Well it's not. No, it's it's it's the color name. It's like when they bring it, when you go to the stupid thing and you you like pick like paint palettes or you know they would, You're like and they all look like white, Like which shade of white do you want? And there's an argument that comes out of that.

It's like it's like that it's a big palette and you choose which color shingle you want. I went with the cobblestone gray. Okay, that'll look nice. Yeah. Plus the part where water isn't coming into your house got'll be perfect. I mean that's what I kind of want, probably the good thing. So there you go. Nothing nothing can bring him down right there? So yeah, no I did. I walked in on Monday and I'm like, I'm probably not gonna bring up the football stuff, and he's like,

I'm in a great mood today. I'm get a roof this week,

right, whatever. Oh, but to reiterate so incredibly old. Yeah, sold, Hey man, you know what I as I get older too, it used to be you know, when you're younger, it's that fear of missing out, but you also realized that, you know, as you grow, you grow your group of friends, all the activities you want to do, the travel you want to do. Like, all you're adding is additional points of stress if things don't go as planned right So if like, uh, you know you want to I'm gonna go to these I'm gonna go to

a bunch of concerts and travel with the But if things go wrong right now, you get all these other stress points. I think getting old is simply recognizing the ability to limit as many potential stress points as possible and not involve yourself and stuff. Oh I thought myself turning down stuff I never would have turned down completely. I'm just not going to get in on this. Not gonna happen. Marky and I we laugh because like we'll be driving through a

neighborhood and we'll be like, wow, look at the house. I love the uh like the landscaping there, Like, oh my god, look at those gutters. And she's like, oh my God, we have old people conversations now, yeah, you do, but I enjoy them, like I would not want to go back to the chaos in my twenties. There's no way I want to go back to that. Yeah, think of all this, Think of all the crap that went wrong in twenty year olds use apartment?

Yeah, no things right right? Yeah? You know what you know, you know, want anything to do with that, Nothing to do with that. So I think that that's the hallmark. A couple things here real quick. Did you guys see the video of the eighteen wheeler I decided to run from police down in Houston? And now it's like all of the was it Harris County Sheriffs that cause they have a weird policing structure down there, but whatever, It's like all the cop cars behind it? What do you?

What are you doing? You make it a run for the border in an eighteen wheeler and you think you're gonna outrun the you know, fifty squad cars. How did you think? How'd you think that was gonna work out? And also, how come in the video I do not see a seventies was the seventy seven, seventy eight, seventy seven trans am with a cool hood decal. I'm not saying I was wondering if Klitos was driving, but I am wondering rost you get that movie reference. I didn't. I don't

think everybody was. I was texting somebody about the roof. What's that? All I heard was Kalitas, I saw you posted on social media about it too. Oh, I can't wait to post about it too. I'm super excited, I said, Now the truck driver, I said, I don't know if it was Kleta's driving the truck because I didn't see a seventy seven black trans am with a hood decal smoking the bandit man. Yeah, I was gonna say the smoking the band is smoking the bandit seventy I think it

was a seventy seven. You know, I had I'm talking about a money pit man, So I did some really dumb ones I had. I had my truck right. But our church was they were having they were they were selling a vehicle that had been donated to the church, and it was one

of our one of the guys in the church. It was his brother who was a pilot who actually lived down in Texas, was a pilot and had donated and this would have been this would have been late nineties, had donated uh An eighty seven trans am GTA and it was I and I had I had some money because I've been you know, working that summer and whatnot. And even though I had my truck, I'm like, I kind of want that. It's a little bit of a project car. That'll be great.

That might have been the biggest money pit on the planet. But when that thing was running, boil Boy died. I have fun in that and like you're and during that era because even though this is obviously well after the Smoking and the Bandit movies, I was a big fan of those movies and just all of that, you know, between that and every which way but loose

with Eastwood and you know, really that whole era, the CW. McCall, you know number one song, like that whole era with truck drivers and everything, and I yeah, it's kind of kind of a wyoming thing because you get so many trucks that go through there, and we all had CBS and our trucks and whatnot. But man, I remember getting that thing and thinking I was so cool, and like every every six months, one of the headlight the headlight motors would break and I'd have to go like the salvage

yard and try to find one. And even though I had the super sweet five point seven Leader V eight, which was a pretty juice engine for that time, it was the top one in that particular year, that thing always had heat issues. And it was even during the winter in Wyoming. It was crazy. I didn't drive it much of the winter, obviously when there's snow. But my point was that was a decision that twenty year old memate, or not even twenty year old. That's you know, that's a decision

young me made. And now in retrospect, you couldn't give me that car, right because I just I don't want to deal with it. I can't. I can't the amount of time I had to go and try to find headlight motors that like the big Auto Junkyards which was mister ours for us, or drive to share it in or Gillette's do the same, because that thing burned out every six months. They're really expensive, or trying to get the heating issues contained. And oh man, but younger me, he's like,

this is amazing. I love this, And now I shudder at the memory. So I understand why Ross is excited about a roof. I get it. Here's what I don't get though, So yesterday I'm flipping through the internets. Well, actually, hold on, let me get a roof call and we'll get over to the King Charles thing here in a moment. Oh, look at that. Boston's Boston Paul. Why not? Yes, Boston Paul. What can I do for you? Hey, Roight, I gotta burst Russ's bubbles here. I got a roof last year, you know, to

the recall and everything. I'm old enough to be excited about getting a new roof for thirty years, you know, warranty on it. This is the last roof of life for me. Paul. I told the same thing to Marky. Marky I said the same thing. I said, I'm so excited. This is the last roof will ever. Bib'll be dead and like by the time we need a new one. So I'm super here. You're at the age and you'll be with a walker called Marky. I think we need another room. Saw something hit me on the head. Yeah you did.

You didn't time this right? Maybe old you before you got healthy and whatnot. You could make that claim. But Boston Pearl's probably right. You probably just healthed yourself into potentially having to deal with this one more time. Well, hopefully Chad will still be alive. And you're at the age now you know you're gonna need another one, and you're being the walk of it, going I'm going to something hit me on the head coming down. Here's something

dripping on my head. Well you'll say that it's exciting though in it it's exciting, dude, I know, I know. And then you know what, you gotta do metal detector around for the nails and stuff. Yeah, we were on Amazon. We were doing that yesterday. Don't do it. No no, no, no no no no no no no. You get somebody to come out and do it, but don't do it. And here's why, because, uh, if Ross is excited about a roof, I have real concerns if he gets a hold of metal detector, he's gonna be

the old guy at the beach and the weird flop. All right, Well, I don't he doing the doing the grass and like running over nails and stuff, or like Lincoln running aside and like you know, hurting his foot on a nail. So plus I get that. Yeah, he said he ran a magnet around, got all the nails, you know, so I I spotted a couple and I'm like, no, So I went and got a cheap old metal detector and I probably picked up about two hundred nails.

So you're gonna find him everywhere. Well, look at you, just this happy moment. Here's Boston Paul to come in and crap all over it. I really appreciate you. I'm sorry, buddy, you're not You're not at pH for the happiness. Take your negativity elsewhere. Okay here, all right, yeah, okay, all right, look at that. I was just so happy, Boston Paul's It's like it's all gonna suck, it's gonna be

horrible. But no, you have bold new roofs, and both of our time teams aren't making the playoffs, so we've got a lot in common. Now, that's he He's the guy with two teams that are gonna be making the playoffs. Bill's going eight or nine or nine or eight. That's what I think. Yeah, you guy, You guys will probably still make the playoffs, right, I don't think so you're gonna While card In, I haven't really looked at the AFC in depth over in the NFC. If you

want to make the playoffs, you need to let's see here exist. So it's it's really a lowly side of things. Yeah, but you've got Dobby Nation, so it's different topic. That's not his nickname anymore as what I was told, stop it Josh Dah, mister mister the eyebrow, the eyebrows dot. Josh Stubbs apparently has a new nickname. And like everyone sent me the story yesterday and that's great, and all I just just go go throw the football. Well that's all I ask. We'll get that. And this

this imagery, this this thing that was happening in the UK yesterday. Man, I just all I could do is laugh watching it. It's so absurd. And I'll explain it coming up next Your Day Smarter one O six one FM Talk and News Talk ninety four f w u PT I more with Casey

starts now. The the imagery yesterday of watching the UH the address of the King or the address or the Ruler or whatever they call it over the UK, which for all practical purposes, is like a state of the Union, but not from the legislative body or the president in this case because technically technically the royal family over the area is supposed to be politically not politically biased,

and they really don't weigh in on big issues. However, during the course of that speech, it's historically their ability to talk about things that they feel are important from an issue standpoint, just not really tell lawmakers how to handle

it. Okay, but it's all absurd. And what makes it absurd is yesterday King now King Charles Is was his big thing was they're getting rid of smoking smoking and this is, by the way, this is actually a plan of the of the Parliament, both both both houses, so this is probably gonna happen. They want to ban smoking in the UK and we're very he was very excited to say that if you're a fourteen year old today you will never legally be able to be buying cigarettes and UK because of the timeline of

it, and so that's like, that's a big thing. And then he starts talking about like income inequality and how he understands that many Britons are having trouble making ends meet and he feels their plight, and you have to understand the entire time he's dressed like he's dressed in something that eighties, Donald Trump would be like, now that is Dottie right. All the jewels, the robes, the crown, and the room he's in is probably you know,

I can't even imagine all the stuff that's in there. And he's talking about all this garbage, and uh, you know, because he you know, he's just he's just one of the normal people. And I saw people reacting to that. And while I get it, there's something you're not thinking about, and we'll get to that coming up next. Keeping you connected. This is ninety four or five WPTI and the Triad and one six one FM Talk and the Triangle. All right, welcome back, seven thirty five Cacoda Radio

program. So I under I saw a lot of people laughing about this, and I did too, because visually the absurdity of the King of England who was in full full robes, crown elements of the Crown Jewels collection which adorned the they have very specific robes for very specific things. As he detailed his deep understanding and ability to empathize with his his citizens, his peasants, whatever

on. You know how he understands like when you go to the grocery store and everything's more expensive how stressful that can be and trying to make ends meet, and you know, there's a lot of uncertainty out there. And dude, it's listening to him give what's known as the king you know they call the King's speech or the Queen's speech, which and but dress like that,

sitting in that room is the height of visual absurdity. He has a difficult Come on, you don't think he has difficulty going to the grocery store wearing that leopard printed cape. Okay, So I looked it up as I looked at that cape and I and I'm like, is that because there is a there's one there's one species a snow leopard that's all extinct. And I'm like, I wonder it's like from the Ice Age movie. But apparently that one

yesterday. There's there's a whole wiki on all the different robes they have and it's all obnoxious. That one they say was lined with ermine. But I I don't know, man, If you don't that's a weasel by the way, if you don't know what that is, like a ferret or a weasel thing. But he's got to have one with like extinct stuff for sure. Yeah, somebody trips over it and like something in this store, you know, spills all over your gold shoes. I mean it's stressful. Man.

Well you just have him executed. I mean the problem goes. That's a good point. Yeah, yeah, yeah, uh you know, take him over to the Tower of London, throw him in there, don't feed him for a while, and grease him. I mean, come on. So but then I started to think about this, Well, it is visually absurd to listen to this moon bad. And he's a moon bad, right, We've heard him for years when you know this whole I'm the king, though,

and I can't express opinions on stuff. Well, this guy'sn't she'd al gore, buddy, and he hasn't shut up for decades plus plus Let's face it, man, he traded that for what he's got now. I mean, Camilla, Diana. I'm just saying, so, don't give me that. And now you must get rid of smoking, which is great if you're in organized crime in the UK. You're loving this because uh, well you know how that's gonna work. But then I started thinking, how is that

anymore? Isn't that more honest and allowing the person digesting that information to instantly reject the absurdity. The King Charles, at any moment in his life understood what it's like to walk into a grocery store of fifty dollars in your pocket, going, I got to make it so my family can eat this week all week? What am I gonna do? Like, he's never had that

experience. Did you see did you see the video when right as he if they were coordinating him where the like his handler or his handler whatever they're called assistant, Like he was harumphing him over a pen? Do you remember that video? And like the look of death, it was just like it just

it looks so like that dude's gonna get executed. It. But to see him dressed in his endangered species robe, wearing the Crown jewels, sitting in a room that could only be described as you know what I assume Scrooge McDuck vault actually would look like if they did a real life adaptation. That's more. It's not any less absurd than listening to Nancy Pelosi talk about it, is it? I mean, if anything, it's more honest. That's what I'm saying. Is the only difference is the visual. Yes, but it's

helpful. It's helpful because it reminds me to go to disregard any of the crap this dude's saying. But Nancy Pelosi will get up there and do it. And I don't want to just pick on Nancy Pelosi, pick any of the any of these folks in DC who went up with pennies in their pocket and now own three homes. Bernie Sanders wasn't of Bernie Sanders talk about it? Who's the who's the the Republican congressman from California that's actually one of the

richest. I think he is the richest in Congress. The thing is Republicans don't lean into that side of it too much. But I remember he was. He was doing something about that because you know, he's got to get elected in California. And I'm like, what do you know about this? Shut up the hell do you know? He didn't even have like a hard scrabble backstory. And Nancy Pelosi, you remember, she was born into washing the Washington political circles. Her father was a member of Congress. She never

she never had to struggle. And and by the way, that that is not me saying that people who've never had to struggle are fundamentally bad people I I have, I have I have friends who you know, they they were born into from a financial standpoint, they were born into very stable situations. I don't know everything else that went on in their life, but I don't judge there. King Charles just has the added benefit of him saying these things like, ah, well look I get it while dressed like like what I

would assume is probably the most expensive a toy on Goop. Okay, this only for billionaires, So you can dress like that and then say that, and that's where the absurdity lies. So if when a member of Congress in a suit or a pantsuit or whatever it is, is running that same crap and they're the air to the bumblebee tuna fortune and a product of the Washington grind. Anyway, where they've you know, they've they've always they've always had

power in addition to financial support. Yeah, I feel like the King Charles thing is more honest. I'm with you Ross absolutely. Oh. I did see a lot of people though yesterday on X from the UK also making the same sort of comments late leg it isn't as if they aren't aware of it as well, like they was. I was seeing that sort of like this is sort of this dude's out of touch, and who was he to tell us? But yeah, yeah, And so I guess maybe there's a division

over there as well. I don't know. Look and and look, it's gotta be more baked in. It's gotta be a lot more baked in if you're a member of a royal family lineage that goes back to what eleven or ever eleven hundred or something, when you're like, I'm gonna leave Germany and they're gonna do this right because the area it's so innate and baked in at that point even more so, Like I had a friend whose dad was one

of the big investors in uh well, let's just say it was. He was one of the startup founders, i should say, in a company that ended up selling for a lot of money, a lot of money. This is up in Minnesota, and uh he so and his dad so literally he was the youngest before he was born. He's never he's and he's been very successful himself. And not even he didn't just go into his dad's business.

He started his own actually, and and and and that's fine. I don't begrudge that dude any of it. But there were moments, I'm not gonna lie, there were moments where I'm like, you didn't grow up like I did, right, And he would acknowledge that, King Charles, I can't imagine the superiority complex that comes with I'm ordained by God, you know what I mean. That's a that's gotta give you a little bit of a you want to be out of touch? There you go. I'll tell you this

much. King Ralph would never King Ralph would never. Well, that's because of his humble up there. Yeah, there was a lot. There's a lot of things about that movie in retrospect, Like one not that the actors who played the stripper that he ended up being the love interest in there. That's fine, but she's not even a UK seven and you're the king the UK seven. Oh no, that's a different that's a different float full disclosure.

Everything I know about British royalty when the monarchy comes from the movie King Ralph, I need to be out there yet. Okay, all right, that's fair. So like really really that's like that's like Prince Charles going Diana. So you know it's that that was that that Drake meme right where he's getting there's appointed one thing and then shine away from the other, like Diana

to Camilla, what are you doing? Bro? So I don't know, maybe it was just King Ralph embracing it, but I got to think that the you know, the line of willing ladies probably would have been long. And two, why don't they never address what happened to the photographers who greased the entire rest of the royal family Because even though they outlawed the death penalty in the UK, I believe, I don't know if it still exists, but I believe there was an exception for a few murder members of the royal

family. Like would that scene get cut from the movie? No? The sequel. It's a sequel coming out King Ralph two where he just executes everybody. Yeah wow, that's so they're not doing another one, are they? Please? Don't? Please don't. I'm already a little uptut over this gladiator too, Like what are you gonna do? We mentioned yesterday, but that's

another discussion for another time. Right now, it's weather discussion time. And also adorned in a bejeweled crown and wearing an ex species for a coat it's raised aging from his weather castle. Did you see? Do you see that? I'm not going to drag you into all the deep politics, but did you So they have like a you know, like the president has the State of the Union. Here, they have an annual speech by the monarch in the UK and they talk about what they feel their priorities, but try to

do so from a quote unquote non political way. But he's wearing like the coronation robe from the nineteen thirties. He's wearing the full crown, jewels, crown, and he's sitting in a room that Donald Trump would think was tacky, and there's so much gold, and he's talking about how he really understands how you know, the concern among residents of the UK when they're unable to make ends meet and they're having to decide at the grocery store between buying food

and paying utilities. Right, And I'm like, dude, no, just stop your dress like that. And all I could do was just laugh at that. Because there's privilege, and then there's ordained by God since the eleven under this privilege. So yeah, there's that, right. Yeah, it's tough Third world problems, I guess right, and I think and I think the Queen. I think the Queen. I'm just like I never, I've never. I never heard that from her, right, I never. That

was never a thing. And you know, keep in mind there was also the whole part where even though it was her father, you know, everything going on with World War two and tough decisions and the and the real straggle of it. But that was just absurd man. So yeah, but if you can't beat him, join him. And that's way. He's got his road. That's right, that's right here. I am royalty, yet it's finest. Yeah, must be the life, right, Yeah, living too

bad of a life here. I mean, this is yeah, record territory. We'll go through some of the records today and Raley, it's eighty and we'll get there. I think probably gonna be right at eighty degrees, lots of sunshine up. There might be a little fog early and then tomorrow upper seventies, slow eighties again, so try a triangle both probably getting close to or setting a RECORDDS even for the West where there's still wildfires burning in the

mountains. Ashwell had a record high yesterday. There'll be more warmth than the mountains close to eighty degrees, and then Friday the change starts coming in, so we're gonna go from near eighty to only near seventy on Friday, there might be a few showers around, and then Saturday cloudy, near sixty, and then Sunday, still heading in the downward direction, maybe a few showers

in mid fifties for high temperatures. So two more days casey of this beautiful weather, warm, record breaking at times, and then we'll see the change. Commanded temperatures go down below average, not a bunch of rain, but there might be some tomorrow, maybe some sprinkles Saturday, it's not officially in the forecast, and then maybe some showers on Sunday. Okay, all right, well, thank you for ruining the weekend. Guess off to watch foot So yeah, why twist star arm right? Yeah yeah, yeah, all

right, thank you, sir, appreciate it. Yep, there you go, race stage. I have to tell you, though, Roslake, if I was King Charles and I had to lean into something with all that jack, I think I would. Don't you have to go like all a Milda Marcos, but just with endangered species and extinct species clothing, right, because you're the king, you can do that. So if you want Dodo bird slippers or something, you just send your people get a whole cape collection.

Remember the remember that story. I know we were young, remember the Philippines first lady had like what ten thousand pairs of shoes or something, and that was a whole scandal. Now you gotta go like MTV cribs closet man just nothing but like, what's that? That's Tasmanian tiger though, that feels amazing, But now no, he instead wants to give speeches about how nobody should smoke. So what are you gonna do? All right? Seven forty nine

Coming up, get into a little more on the voting yesterday. But actually a wonderful piece of video that emerged I saw going around of this dude accosting some guy who's just handing out pamphlets and voting guides. And apparently this dude's got a little bit of a history. So if you saw the but you didn't really know what all was going on with this dude, I will tell you coming up next. Hang on for the podcast on the iHeart Radio app. All right, good morning, everybody, step good Before Ross and I

got off on a Robin Hood die try there. So I had mentioned how did we get here? I care what you had a gentleman call in from that UK. I wanted you to know that the you know, King Charles is only a mouthpiece, so he's reading what somebody else wrote. That's his job. And also, you know, the clothing has been around for a day, you know, two thousand years or whatever it is. So it's nineteen thirty seven, I believe I literally read the date of the well no

zarkwan of the cape X one. The actual date is five ten ady where that is not? Well, hold on now, it was this gentleman from the UK. He is and what is he? He's talking about the British Empire or is he talking about the current iteration of the family, that is the ruling class that has been you know, in secession to present day, because that has not been since five times I'm sorry, five nineteen eighty.

Well, it hasn't been any of that stuff because the current establ the current establishment and the secession that we have seen now, which obviously has had some twists with dramatic influence, is actually a product of around eleven hundred because what had happened is people came in and they're like, you know, the Vikings and others, and it dissolved the previous lineages of families and it was only then re established. Was it Lionheart or which I can't remember which what was

the first king's name? But Richard Lionheart who that's the same era. That's Robin of Locksley defeated the Sheriff of Nottingham and his witch. Yeah yeah, but I also mentioned the I also mentioned the the fact that the stuff was old. I just want to know what it was. And then I just pointed out that I would if I was king man, I'd be like, get me all the endangered stuff and let's make stuff out of it just to irritate and just walk around in Lancelot's army armor all the time. That would

be very all the time. That would be very, very heavy, and I would charge people like John Cleece in the Holy Grail. But you know what, and I don't be I don't begrudge the dude who called whatever. I again, I love some history, but I also know that like British folks are very protected of the royal fan Remember the dude who threw beer in my face for the for the for the Chuck Dorist thing. That was an a that was that was that was the thing that happened. I've told that

story. I was at one of the you know, the the tap houses

in Raleigh and there's this dude and we're getting along fine. We weren't really talking to him, but I was talking to the owner who I know, and some other people and we got in this stupid bar discussion about who would win in a contest because I want the TV's was a James Bond movie in an actual fight, Chuck Norris or Bond, and you could pick any of the Bonds, and everyone picked Chuck Norris because he's an actual taekwondo champion, And like, the dude got really po'ed over that, and uh, he

ended up throwing a beer in my face because I also mentioned like the royal family thing in there, and I was it a warm beer? Uh no, it was not. It was not a warm beer. That's a bit of a fallacy. But anyway, so let's see. Yeah, so the yeah, but if you get into the whole current lineage of the royal family,

it is not the same rulers that you saw. You know, preceding that because you had you had Viking invasion at all sorts of stuff going on, which again it's all fascinating, but but yeah, if you you trace this thing back up, man, it uh, it goes deep. And actually for a long time. Uh, you had what four different big countries including Russia, Germany, the UK and one other who was all members of the same family that were currently the ruling class under their monarchy. So that

family did well, eat your heart out, rothschilds Man. All right, good morning everybody, and welcome. It is eight o seven here on the CaCO Game radio program. Got into an old British baun art discussion. Well, dude, talled and I appreciate it. I you know, that's why we have conversation. Was very upset because actually I don't even know why, but I did look it up. I said eleven d it was ten sixty six following Norman conquests. That really we got into the current establishment of the

ruling house in the UK and the family lineage with William the Conqueror. That's that, I said, lionheart, because I'm stupid, but William the Conqueror and a fun in fact, do you know who the first person was to call himself use the moniker quote King of England. It preceded William the Conqueror because there was all these disputed times and they were seeing his figureheads for invading folks. But the king known as Nut the Great, which I don't know.

I think you murder your whole naming committee at that point if that's what they come up with. But that's what he went with. And also do you call him the Great while he's still alive or is that a posthumous thing. I don't know, but yeah, yeah, ten sixty six. So I was slightly off, and I apologize. Okay, I find it interesting, man, that's all. And I want a collection of the extinct species rope, so assume me. All right, So yesterday election all sorts of

insanity we've talked about. I think if you take it all in a snapshot nationwide, I think it's pretty easy to argue the Republiclkens did not do as

well as they thought they were going to do. Look at states like Pennsylvania Spring Court race there where the Republican was winning by two hundred thousand votes, which is a lot for off your election from a turnout perspective, and then here come the mail in ballots, which the Democrat got three and a half times more, and that put it over, so that there's the Democrats won. Well, look, Pennsylvania's they're not going to get away from absent or

mail in ballots. So I guess the question is, do Republicans need to get on that train, even if they think it's fundamentally wrong and Shenanigans have been afoot. We seen him here in our own state with some of the

stuff that our current gubernatorial candidate was trying to do. Or do you think that following everything that happened with twenty twenty election and subsequent elections, Senate runoff, you name it, and even some stories that emerged during the previous election from twenty twenty where you had whole office is vacated, just like two weeks ago up in what Connecticut and New Jersey because they found out that these cats

were running this whole thing where they were going to mailboxes, stealing apps and tee ballots and only returning ones that they had voted for them and then creating fake ones for the others and then putting them back in there. And I got caught because there was a video emerge of somebody doing a super dump into one of the ballot boxes, which, by the way, are things that

people saw during the presidential election were told not to look. So does that create a crisis of faith where people on the Republican side go, I'm just not showing up. Man's not worth my time. And also they shoot them up cities who keep re electing the same idiots. I just I don't understand it, but you do you I'll be me in a bulletproof something or other.

I guess if I come over to eat it's Oh and do you think Republicans were firmly gave planned out for the Roe v. Wade decision, because now that it's pushed everything back at the state level, it's seeming more and more apparent that, look, this is the process. The process might be lawmakers, it might be ballot initiatives, whatever it is like you saw in Ohio, but it's hard to argue that that's not the biggest issue heading into

next year's election. With what you saw there. It not only got them a ballot constitutional provision in Ohio, but ten percent win on recreational marijuana, and Ohio is not a ten percent blue state. So what do you do? All right? Well, he didn't have to sweat it out yesterday, but he will next year. Congressman or former Congressman Mark Walker. I see he's on the line here, Mark. What's going on this morning? Man

by Casey? I hope you guys are doing well? Do you all right in the I guess with the with the caveat, just everyone's clear you are you obviously are running for office. So do you think the Republican apparatus just fundamentally doesn't get it? Or is it just because Roe v. Wade is an issue? But it is an issue in service where people say that they wanted it, that Republicans are going to have to bite the bullet. And do you think that people are defeated and don't want to show up? Or

am I making too much hayover and off your election? You tell me. I think depending on parts of the country, dumb or portions are all that can be true. I do believe that there has been some frustrated with the RNC and the Republican messaging as a whole. I've seen this in Washington, d C. Republicans are horrible messengers and many times they are reacting instead of

being proacting and leading a message. So, in other words, they're arguing over reproductive rights as opposed to talking about the fundamental truth of Hawaii we're pro life. And so many times Democrats walk Republicans walk us off the play, or walk conservatives off the play. Right Jason Shiney objects creating fake websites that we're arguing or we're playing on their home field as opposed to making them play

on our home field. I think that's part of the problem that goes to the very top of the Republican national Party leaders, and I think that's a huge issue, specifically when it comes to talking about, as you suggested, how big this abortion, even the way we talk about it, hey, this abortion instead of pro life. We often use the terminology that the left

wants us to use. But I do think that's a huge issue going into the other thing I think we learned is that even though America is moving away from Joe Biden, obviously that's not automatically translating to some of these other statewide or down ballot races. Those have to have their own messaging as well. In Pennsylvania, you heard be throughout the stats of the mail in ballots versus not. Do you think Republicans need to get their own super because the Republicans

are the Democrats are dialed in on this man. They had the apparatus that they have because they had a track Marget. People don't realize that in California, this stuff's been going on for decades and ballot harvest is legal. It's perfectly legal to ballot harvest in California, and so they have these systems in place because that changed everything again yesterday. Pennsylvania is not going to give it

up. And Biden administration has even put a plan together in Executive Order where they're forcing federal employees to match up public assistance recipients with voter rolls, and if those folks are not registered to vote, the federal employees literally go and

seek them out to get them ballots and get them registered. And they're doing that because statistically public public recipients of SNAP and other programs, there is a higher percentage of people who are going to vote Democrat if you believe the current numbers. So that is a that is a a rich orchard for them to be picking fruit in and that's what they're doing. I mean, at every level, and Republicans are still arguing that it ain't right and it was supposed

to be temporary, and they're correct, we were lied to. But the reality is the reality. Well, you know what you've you've been talking about some history this morning kind of reminds me of the revolutionary days and the colonial times where the British Red Coats, you know, they fought in straight lines, they marched. Our guys were shooting from trees and ditches because ultimately it was about winning the war. Mark you're going to get the British guys gonna

call and yell at me again because you're bringing up that's all right. You got the William conquer in so he should be good. But the point is this is that you are correct. We had to take our bomb to home mentality because California was ballot harvesting and all the different states were doing this,

and we certainly are big advocate that states set there on election laws. However, when we saw Pennsylvania, even in the twenty twenty election, sending out hundreds of thousands of ballots unrequested ballots, we realize that the Democrats, and as they've always done, play even outside the margins where we have this high moral mentality. Well, you know, we've got to keep it up and down, straight and narrow. The problem is, if you don't win,

then you don't impact any of this. You can't make any changes. And I think it's time for us or well off our sleeves, not look, not break the law, not get outside the bounds of ethics. But at the same time, if that's the rules of the game. I've used this example before. I'm a big baseball fan, and if the if the if the Union get together and said, look, we want more runs because it

gets more ratings, So we're gonna go four outs per inning. And you say, well, you know what, that's just not how the game was invented. If you go play with four outs, we're gonna play with three outs. Well, the problem is they have a twenty five percent better chance of winning now. And I think that's where we have been with this purest mindset. If that's the rules of your state election laws, you need to take advantage of it. Now. Look, I don't want to all this

gloom and doom. We have the best speaker of the house, my personal friend. I got a call from him last Friday, going to help us here in our congression of race. But we're still having places of huge wins and great people like Mike Johnson becomes Speaker of the House. But bottom line, we've got to do a better job of messaging what it is that we believe and how we're going to get it accomplished. Well, I'm sorry, they've already he's already been canceled. I don't know if you saw the Daily

Beast article, Mark your buddy. He doesn't have stocks invested, he owns a home in the two fifty to five hundred thousand, he's got a mortgage. He's just so out of touch, according to the Daily Beast, which I thought was article, and hold on. He also has a relationship with his children where one of the things that he's told them is maybe you shouldn't

spend all day looking at porn and has talked about that. And I'm getting that same feeling about when Mike Pett said he doesn't do meetings with women alone. They're laughing at him. And every time you read those articles, I think people go that guy is at least a little like me. So I mean, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, no. We were talking about this Spiger Johnson. He followed me as RSC chair than vice chair,

so we were able to work together a good bit. But yeah, he did not qualify for the insider trading clause because he did not bring any kind of six figger investment to Congress. But he's he's a grassroots guy and strong in his faith, and I think he's exactly what our country needs right now.

You know. So obviously now you're you're in the you're in the congressional side of things, what let's let's talk about Obviously, you know, everyone's still losing their minds of a redistrict in all of that, and like the city of Wilmington, I saw the re beefing over that, uh Jeff Jackson, who had a district written for him it is now unwritten. And that's somehow a great, great offense. But the fact is, you're still having

to run around the district that you're running in. You're having to talk to voters, and if people are misreading what voters want down ballot, does that concern you as somebody running down ballid? Look, you know you gotta quick crying about this. I was number four in the US House leadership in line to have a chance to run for the speaker, and I woke up one day and I'm in a D nineteen. It's just part of life sometimes that

you have to I don't like it. It didn't like it. But but if you've got a message out there that resonates with the voters, you get out there and work. I mean, the biggest crow baby in the state maybe Jeff Jackson. I mean, at some point, these little TikTok videos and Instagram it's like, oh my goodness, is the same sad song every single time. But I think I think Dan Bishop's gonna like the state clean with him. But yeah, you get out there, you work hard,

you build relationships. Now, I will say this, it is good to have a consistent district because what it allows you to do as a member of Congress is to get out and understand the needs of the unity, whether they're business related, whether they're nonprofit related, and go to work on behalf knowing the people that you represent. If you are switching it up too much as a member of Congress, you know, I think each district's broken out about

seven hundred and forty nine, seven hundred and fifty thousand. Here in North Carolina. It does help to build the consistent relationship to go and advocate for those causes, those conservative causes in Congress. I'm with you a little.

I want to I like the part where it allows you to really turn your energy there, but then you run the risk of being Would you just see the story they did on Adam Schiff yesterday where they were counting the days he's actually been in his district and for all practical firmoss, the guy just lives in Maryland, right and yeah, so what incentive does he have to listen to his constituents because you're such a safe district, he doesn't. We even

have some members. And this is why I applaud somebody like a Virginia Foggs

or somebody where do you agree with every single thing? And this was the thing about Mike Johnson when his wife couldn't get there because she was stuff in Shreveport, could not exactly direct flights out of Shreveport's hit the Washington DC to me that the members of Congress that do the best work, or where their families still live in the district, they come home every weekend, they load up their schedule, they have offices here, they meet with the people and

the concerns everything from veterans to education needs, whatever it might be. To me, those are the best representatives as opposed to those people that just pack up and now they become part of the DC party circuit. You know one of your former co workers, Rashida Talib. Obviously she was censured yesterday because this whole thing where she's like, I don't want the Israel to exist, which she said was not what she meant when she literally chanted the Hama slogan.

Right. Some would argue, based on some polling that I've seen in her district that was in a story yesterday, she is representing her constituenty, which is terrifying to me. I would point, I was just terrifying, like that problem, that woman will probably get reelected, that she'll probably get re elected. So it's just crazy town, dude, No, it is. There are pockets in this country and and you can make a case of this as far as our immigration law, as you can trace this down to

so many different tactics or places here. The point is this, You're going to have hotspots here that are that are literally even in our own country, anti American, and she happens to represent one of those districts. Same thing with il han Omar represents a district where there's a growing anti American sentiment. And I was having breakfast last week with a friend of mine that happens to be a rabbi of a large Jewish congregation, and I asked the question.

I said, you know it typically most of the Jewish population American population tend to vote left progressive Democrat. I said, how do you make space now for these Hama sympathizers that make their home or make their are called the Democratic Party their home. It's going to be a problem as we move forward, and it needs to be called out. Well. Then, I think Adam Schiff was the only other guy censored in the current Congress. Who know,

you know, who knows what does anything? So do you think going back to going back to the abortion issue or the you know, uh, the Roe v. Wade decision, do you think Republicans were just so struck that it happened that they didn't have game plan for this and they were like because they wanted it in the states, And by the way, I agree with that, but you now have to go through this process of each state adapting.

It's like, you know, it's like prohibition ending, right, everybody's got to do their own thing, and it's going to be it's gonna be muddy and murky and problematic and unpredictable. But you got to have a plan too, and I don't feel like they have a plan in some of these that we've seen. Kay. See, you know, you and I being back and forth and not always agreement on things, but you are one correct

on this. For fifty years there were organizations and fundraising and events that I'm going to an important calls the nation North Carolina Right to Life a week from this, supporting these guys and continuing to fight this fight. But but it was the process that nobody was prepared for the win. And I think even now there's there's lots of it. Well, it's the state issue. Should

we have a fifteen week federal on top of the state issue? It's back and forth, And I think anytime that you have a position which is against counterculture, which is what pro life is these days, you need strong leaders to can message well, who can be able to communicate this and right now I think we were short on sometimes sometimes when it comes to that messaging, well, well we'll find out all right, I got to roll on way late, so appreciate it very much. I'll good luck out there. We'll

talk soon. Okay, thank you, buddy. All Right, there you go, Mark Walker joining us CACOD radio program. We'll be back. Hang on. This is one O six one FM Talk in the Triangle and you talk ninety four to five PTI in the Triad. All right, good morning, welcome back. It is he thirty five here on the Pcoday radio program. Dude, I have I cannot figure out what's going on with this. I have so many questions. All right, hang on, I got these

two stories. They're not it's not super election stuff. But we just did a deep dive with, you know, a guy running for Congress. So let me balance it out. And I'm gonna balance it out with this question. How how does this happen? So? What is this? What was this guy's name? There's the thing taking so far to load. Sorry, I had it on my phone. I want to get over to my laptop here. Okay, do do do a ninety one year old great Oh he's

a great It was a great grandfather. Ninety one year old great grandfather has died following an incident and By the way, there is literally there's a there's video of him after he ate it. I guess one of his grandkids caught this video, all right. So the granddad, who was a big fan of yogurt, died last week after he apparently consumed a half tub of mint green colored paint, which he thought was the yogurt. I have a lot

of questions now. I'm looking at a picture of the color, because there's literally a still frame from this video because at first they thought it was kind of funny, I guess, and it did not obviously do well from a health perspective, as I can imagine it wouldn't. And he sadly passed away. But the are close. If you get the you know, the yogurt, it's the pistachio yogurt. It's but it's that color, and the paint looks almost exactly the same. I will give him that. However, how

do you get through a half tub of it? That's what I don't understand. Maybe maybe it tastes good. Have you ever eaten paint? I would like to just let everyone know that I am not on team eat paint. I am not either. I'm just not name me in your lawsuit anyway. I'm just saying there has to be a written why else would because most people write you would. I've never tasted paint either, but I imagine if like, once it hit my taste PUDs, they'd be like, oh my god,

this is not food. I should not eat it. And we may not know it's saint, but I know it's ain't yogurt. And how much did you say he consumes as a half tub? My god? Okay,

So but you have to understand how how the situation arose. So the paint was being utilized, I think by one of his adult kids who was it was doing some touch up and had a little left over, and UH put it in you know those like half gallon yogurts that you eat tubs that you can get at the grocery store as a place to put it for storage. And so it was in the packaging. But it was just in the packaging because they needed, uh, you know, a piece of tupperware basically that

they could throw away at the end. And uh, a used yogurt jug from a yogurt enthusiast seemed like a good idea and until he ate it. But you're you're but you're wondering, So you think that all this time? I mean, what if the paste in the in the in the paint and stuff. Yeah, well that you're talking about the paint chips of the old glue gy. Yeah back, what if the little timmy and kindergarten, the kid everybody thought it was weird because eat that stuff? What if he was

right, I'm not going to try it. I don't think he should. I thin guess. And by the way, he didn't die this. I'm sorry the news was shared last week. He actually he died about a month and a half ago. It looks like, but what was he was he just like not all that because he was super old. So maybe he just wasn't all there mentally, or was he intoxicated at all? Maybe I don't

see any of that in here. You've ever been like so super drunk that you're eating something you're like, this is the greatest thing ever the next day, or you eat it when you sober and you're like, oh, it's gross, like one of those right, Yeah, you know I've miscalculated that. You're right, you know, if you're in that frame of mind, just got home from the bar. You know, if it's a pizza. If it's a frozen pizza, chances are gonna be like, this is amazing.

But if you were to eat it sober, you're like, oh my gosh, what have I been doing? But this isn't that, this isn't He got an off brand of yogurt. He chowed down on a half of a half gallon tub, So to ask how much he ate, that's a lot of spoonfuls. But you're right, I don't know. So it's described as half a leader half of the Leader tub. Oh that's why because it's a UK publication there. But if it gives you some some it was a lot. I don't know, all right. So Ross's theory is it secretly

tastes Oh wait so he was British? Yes, oh well the food over there all tastes like crap anyway, so he probably had no idea that explains it. It's you should you should open and dude, you should open with that. It's different man over there. The food doesn't have preservatives and it's come on, yeah no it does? It really like the bread falls apart. Why are you arguing with me when you've never left the US? Because I had lots of friends in the UK. Michael Michael, whose house I

when to bulldoze, lives in Chapel Hill. He went oversea, he went over the UK, was over there for for a long time. Yeah. Yeah. And his big takeaway was their food sucks, not like the bread falls apart. The fast food is horrible, Like it's just awful compared to what we have over here. It's different. I'll give you that. I

mean, I'll tell you what. The one thing that I try to eat under this sounds stupid, but if I'm going to be in a different country, Uh, the real test is McDonald's, right, because they you know, because they likelihood that you're gonna be able to run into that as a pretty clean slate. I've probably eaten McDonald's in twenty some countries and some of it's really bad, some of it. That's what he was saying, Like he had a big mac over there, and he's like, what is this.

I had a big mac in Ireland. I didn't think it was necessarily bad, but it comes where it comes down to his were they're forced to get ingredients and a lot of countries require you to get those locally, and the beef over the UK is terrible, So I mean you should open with that. I mean, that's the mystery solve, Okay, all right, even though it's a I'm looking at the tub, it looks like the dan and yogurt. You can go buy a Harris Teeter right now. Okay,

it's not that okay, so don't eat anything that would you say? Fast? All right? And I have done a lot of research on this, but I may do some do you know, do you know what IRL content is as it pertains to streamers? Obviously you do right in real life, in real life, right, well, app shot of a day, right, and they take you around and here's me doing this and here's me annoying

people in public because it's what I do, all right. Apparently there is a trend among adult streamers, i e. OnlyFans and whatnot for more for IRL content. And apparently there's some chicks making huge money on this. And I want you to envision it, like you know, the joke about ah the letters to Penthouse kind of stuff. I never thought this would happen to me. And it's just these crazy stories. So these these it's a group

of Playboy models are featured in this story. Here former Playboy models who turned to OnlyFans and realized that that was a niche not being filled, so they

started filming themselves recreating those situations. The problem is is it generally involves some dupe who's not in on it, and a series of videos was reported to law enforcement as what the women were doing is they were they were wearing nothing, but they only had their bottom of their bodies covered, so nothing the imagination upstairs, and then they would film scenarios and they would just order pizza all day and then you know, the guy from Dominoes would show up.

Literally, they have a still frame from one of the videos where the women are not you could, you know, can't see anything, and it's this Dominoes guy standing there with a pizza, looking like he like it's either the best day or the worst day ever for him. So they opened the door,

yes, and he's like, finally, it finally happened. And in the story they're literally talking about this about how at that particular Dominoes they all know the address and they like are willing to fight each other over over to it. However, law enforcement got involved because you're still technically exposing yourself in public and while in some places like San Francisco's right, not a big deal.

Apparently they could be a little problematic, and it was a They say that one of the one of the delivery people that they did this to is actually a contacted law enforcement because that person hates fun or something. But yeah, you got these two playboy models topless, just getting their pizza. I wonder if they do with it, because it doesn't look like they eat it. But yeah, but now the police want to go, screw this up? What are you doing? Leave them alone? I look, I delivered

pizza. Have you ever delivered pizza? Russ? No, I never have. I did it for like six months one time, and it's that ever happen never. But you were hoping, right, I mean in the back of your mind, you were thinking that maybe one day. Look, I was I was a younger guy, I was college. Yeah, I'm like about it. I'm like, if it's gonna happen, it's gonna happen to me. Like I had people, I had people offer me alcohol, I had people offer me drugs before his tips and I'm like, I'm good,

thank you. If if literally driving, if I'm sheriff and somebody calls in with that complaint. I'm like, sitting on my business and I hang up the phone. Do you don't you don't go over and investigate for yourself? I mean we might have to investigate. Y'all send it, get yourself, get yourself a go to Spirit Halloween, get a pizza delivery guy, costume, get an empty box. I've got actual crime to fight. It's none of my business. But hates for sheriff. Yeah, but I'm like,

don't take this from the pizza guy who works at Dominoes. Right, the guy in this thing looks like he's about forty five fifty delivering pizzas at Dominoes. Oh man, So just don't ruin this for him. That's all that I'm asking. Let them be. I'm sorry the one person was offended, but that is crazy. What if it's all a fake thing, just Dominoes. It's a recruiting effort to get more people hired. This could happen to you. Come work at Dominoes. Oh man? All right, Race Agic

from the Weather Channel and he's standing by. Did you hear that story? I did. He's the only Yeah, and now somebody wants to ruin it for the poor guy who has to deliver pizzas, like, let him, just let me have his moment. They're not physically accosting to him. It's not going beyond that. They're filming the reaction of two smoke show playboy models getting the pizza under that old canard and uh, I guarantee you as soon as they open the door. The delivery guys like, finally you finally happened.

No one will believe me. Oh wait, you're gonna post it online. Yes, all right, so let's just say I never delivered pizzas, so I don't have to worry about any of that. So I'm a good shit So okay, you don't have weather weather fans that try to get you to sudst or anything. I think I've signed Let's see, I think I've signed one autograph in my life, and I think that was even forced. It's weird, isn't it. It is. It's weird. I'm like,

why would you want anything with that? I can't. I have chicken scratch anyway, so you didn't even know it's me? Yeah anyway anyway. Yeah, but you know what, outside tons of autographs because I'm gonna be a popular guy with the forecast the next few days and then maybe not so much as we get toward Friday. On the weekend, don't see a lot of rain. There is still some wildfire across parts of the state, especially to the west and the mountains where there are some air quality alerts just west of

Ashville. But here we're just seeing a few clouds at sunshine. Next few days upper seventies to low eighties, probably some records again across the region. Today's record in let's go try it today records eighty two degrees, so we may get there. Same thing for the Triangle records somewhere in the upper seventies, low eighties, and we'll I'll be hovering around that mark. But tomorrow, the warmer day, and then by Friday, with the front coming in

Friday's the shower chants, temperatures come down to the upper sixties. Does look like we'll escape most of the weekend with not much rain. For now, it's dry on Veterans Day on Saturday, maybe some shower Sunday, I think either way, even if we do have to add in some light rain or drizzled around on Veterans Day Saturday, it's not gonna be a lot. And even with the shower chants. Sunday not gonna be a lot. The story will really be Temperatures will stay in the mid upper fifties, maybe sixty in

the triangle. So the message two more warm, dry days than a little bit of damp weather, not widespread or heavy rainfall, and then slightly cooler, more seasonable Friday, and much cooler by the upcoming weekend. Okay, so cool, Thank you sir, appreciate it. And okay with Jeff Ballinger next, hang on, we're running behind, so to Jeff Bellinger with Bloomberg News. Jeff, what's happening? Okay, quick hit here, Casey. We have stock market futures mixed, Nasdaq futures are lower, S and P

and Dow futures a little bit higher. eBay's third quarter results top Wall Street estimates, but the online marketplace issued a disappointing forecast for the holiday quarter. It shares our lower pre market. Home loan demand was up last week.

Mortgage bankers report application volume rows two and a half percent. In Casey, half of the people polled by bank Creates say their financial situation has worsened since the twenty twenty election, and nearly ninety percent of the respondent say, the handling of the economy is going to be a key issue in next year's election. Casey, yeah, I wasn't in yesterday's apparently, so all right, well, thank you much, appreciate it, all right, take care.

Yeah, okay, so they're planning they're planning on making it an issue, but not till next year because procrastinating or something. I don't know. Why don't we make lunacy an issue? You see the video the guy goes up to the he's not even a poll worker. He's he's a dude who's standing you know, one hundred feet or whatever it is. I don't know what the Virginia requirement is from a polling place yesterday, and he's handing out RNC voting guides. Okay, these are you know, you see this. You

know my district. They don't even have RNC where I vote a lot, just because it's so moonbatty where I live. But but yeah, and you know, you can either grab one or you can just say no, I'm good, and uh, I like that solves it. So dude, super nice, offers this guy. I guess, and that's what prompted this. And this guy comes un courked. This is in Arlington, and uh the guy with the guides is just that he's trying to act polite as he can.

But this guy keeps walking away, coming back up. Scream and listen to this. Hold on, here we go. People try to overthrow the election. You might have been might as well have been walking up to my home of the wife the police decision, getting your gun in the head. You're trying to tell me about the the do you expect being to want to take that personally? You try to overthrow elections with violence, try to hand you in any around here on decent people. Thanks that? Huh what?

And what's on your what's on your uh? Uh? Your? What are your policy prescriptions? It's fun stay rights involving yourself in people's families and their bedrooms. It's pretty well. Do you try to steal my vote next year? I'm gonna remember you personally yet, Thank you? All right? Thanks, all right, yeah yeah, one party state you want to in one party countries when you know what party consent? Be a Republican sample ballot there, sure, thank you. You know, trying not to be buddy buddy

with this. People who say they put on the face of a good neighbor, but they support Lynchman. So were there bible beating pigots and freaks? Right? Right? Okay, so a little unhinged. Well, would you be shocked to learn that the very same gentleman uh screaming at this guy?
