Phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four emails being weird this morning, Like, dude, just pick a day of the week. Get You can be weird once, but you don't get to do it twice. I don't know. Maybe I gotta update something, all right, Well, if you're not, we got tons of stuff to get into today, including a I guess a shakeup within the r NC. It looks like McDaniel maybe out or soon out. We'll give you the details on that. New

York Times with a big piece this morning. For some reason, we got Disney news in this again they find a way each throughout the week, but not positive. Man, I'm reading this thing, and you know, I pointed out I've never been to Disney World. I read stuff like this. There's not a chance other than having to deal with the traffic. I don't know if I'll get there. This sounds maddening. What's going on with I guess maybe I should celebrate it because it's kind of capitalism. Man. We'll

explain what the details are there. We got some dumb criminal news both local and from well primarily Florida, so you want to stay tuned for that. But let me hit on something a little more serious. So yesterday, yesterday was the primary Nevada. Now the Vata primary has undergone some changes, like

they did a caucus thing for a while too, and it's it. They've essentially been rendered not mattering in the Republican primary because there's no delegates delegates awarded, So strategically it does come down to whether you're going to campaign in the state, whether you're not even though there's not delegates in a race where you still had a lot of active people, it might send a message. So

you know, it's all about the strategy. Trump was not on the ballot, and it was that was that was the Trump people, didn't they they look to other states where delegates mattered. So but of the bigger candidates or the bigger named candidates, the only one on the Republican side on the ballot was Nicky Haley, and ye had you had others, but I mean of those who are seen as quote unquote well at least by the media, potential nominees. So they held this thing yesterday and hmm, well, look,

I'm not a campaign statistician. I'm not one of these number cruncher folks that surround these particular campaigns. I'm not sure. So if Nicki Haley lost to none of these candidates, I'm gonna repeat that again in a primary which Trump was not on it, and it wasn't real controversial. It was just they just there's no delegates, so they said screw it. Nicki Haley didn't win.

Instead, she lost to none of these candidates. I you know, I don't know because I'm sitting there and I see the interviews going in where they're like, this, will you know, this will really send the message that there's a lot more interest here and we should continue to truck forward. I don't know how. I don't know how you handicap this. I suspect there's just going to be a surrogate saying, well, look it doesn't matter because there's no delegate, so there's very low voter turnout. So you get

people that are you know, may want to send a message. And all of that might be true, but Nevada is not a huge state like to efficiently rally. There's only a few big population centers like you go to once you've gone to Vegas and Reno and Carson City and maybe hand maybe Mesquite.

I don't know. Winnemucca. I'm trying. I'm trying to think of other things that signs of life in Nevada having driven through their numerous occasions, like you go, you rally those areas and if there's low voter turnout, then you kind of get that message center. But that that didn't happen here man, So uh, I mean, we'll get into a little more of that because there's you know, there's shakeup, and there's there's storyline there, and

that was just a bunch of stuff. Anyway again, phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Let me okay, thank you email. I had set myself a story this morning that I wanted to start with, and I was reading it off my phone and then I couldn't get the thing to launch after I did the update that I had to do this morning. But now it's okay, all right, thank you for thank you for showing up. This is crazy what I'm about to tell you. I was

reading this this morning. Ross. If I say a place in the US, chances are you know, like we know if it's a if it's a rich area or a poor area, even if we've never really lived there, just due to the fact that we know so much, you know, the everything's at our fingertip now. And and I want to point this out because I feel like you and the audience and others are going to be equally as

surprised. Somebody did a deep dive into the portion of the Inflation Reduction Act, which did none of those things, but it included a huge swath of cash for evs electric vehicle chargers, with the caveat being that the funds would subsidize low income, non urban areas or low income and or non urban areas. So and that's that's important. And even if it's non urban, there's still certain requirements. So with that in mind, these monies were then paid

out so that they could build EV charging stations. But again the caveat was and what the way that the bill reads and the way it was explained is it would be for low income or non urban areas, Like, did do you think that the federal government needs to subsidize EV chargers for I don't know, downtown Malibu. No, that wouldn't track in most people's heads, right, You ready for the list? So I'm gonna I'm gonna name some places, all of which apparently have been awarded your money and my money, our

money to build EV charging stations because these are areas that are struggling. These are areas that they need to have infrastructure so they get you know, if if some some rich ev owner I guess wants to come in vacation wherever it is, they have access to it so they can pump money into the economy. I mean, I create the story that was created to go ahead and sell this thing. Okay, but here is here is uh and this is not an exhaustive list, but these are ones that stand out to me.

And it's a doozy all right, m m. Let's start. We'll start with kind of east to west, shall we. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, there's there. There's a lot of these, all right. So Nantucket Island. Nantucket Island apparently is among the low income recipients of the evy charging dollars your tax dollars. They simply they simply can't swing it. Martha's Vineyard. I mean, last time, Ross, did you see Martha's vineyard was overrun with illegal immigrants. I I you know, they need they probausly

they need all the help they can get. The let's come, say you fast though. Yeah, it does, it does on the island. Yeah, that's that's that's that's probably true. Let's see Cape Cod poverty, right, just pure poverty. I mean really, it's in the state of Massachusetts. So but I mean I've been there before and I did not have the reaction that it was poverty. But I mean that was over twenty years twenty five years ago. So once again, life comes at you fast. Things

change. Okay, how about Hyannas, I've also been there, and I would say I'd add the same reaction. Okay, all right, say I would say, not poverty. Well, look, that was big of the Kennedys, to live amongst the people, right, Yeah, they had a compound there, the Kennedy compound. Yeah, yeah, yeah, amongst all the rabble and nothing. Nothing says poverty like having a a fortified compound. Well, you have a fortnore, you have a hinge, and a fortified

mine is ironical because it is not a compound. No, it is not. Okay, all right, all right, well hold on, maybe they got it right as we head west. Perhaps Oh wait, hold on, I'm not There's a few more Fisher's Island, New York. I'm not sure where that is. But it sounds awful. Well, yeah, you know how awful it is. Roosevelt's rock of olders du Ponts. That's where they have their places. Mon talk, you know, having to deal with the

monster or whatever that is out there or the beast. So yeah, uh New York City, Upper East Side, twenty eight bloc region in your Times Square. That's that's as poor as it gets. Man. But it wasn't just the East coast. Oh wait, hold on, hold on, uh Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. You know, I know somebody who lives there. Ross who am I thinking of? Has got a place in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. I'm just gonna guess. Yeah, is it the president? Oh it is yeah, I'm sorry. Oh so dub All right, well hold

look look obviously because you know this, you know this smells. It smells a lot like, you know, hey, people who helped the campaign, we're gonna do this for it, because that's what this sounds like. Because I feel like maybe there's a miscalculation, but maybe they got it right. On the West coast. All right, let's see the North Beach neighborhood of San Francisco. So this is the San Francisco proper, but the beach front

part of it pure poverty obviously. Uh oh, this was be rule right here, right, because I remember they talked about, you know, they don't want the non urban so Beverly Hills. That sounds mountainous, A bunch of mountain folks like West Virginia and Beverly Hills. I'm not familiar. Anyway,

they got some. Let's see the neighborhoods surrounding the University of California, Los Angeles, the Los Angeles Country Club, the Brentwood country Club, and the Country Club are all eligible and have received subsidies, according to the Department of Energy, because they're really, really poor and they just can't afford these things. I told you, I yeah, told you to make your head hurt. So yeah, those are those are the most probably poverty stricken areas

I guess around the country. As they were doled out, pulled out the dollars. Man. That is crazy, Beverly Hills, the Kennedy Compound, Cape Cod in general. And yet I got to watch Joe Biden run around yesterday and gaslight to in just the highest I mean, just this ten seconds makes you want to punch, you know, don't punch your screen, don't punch your car she wheel uh uh wheel or windshield for that matter. Don't take it. Don't take your anger out on on your loved ones. But

you know, listen to this and try not to lose your crap. Every day between now and November, the American people are gonna know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and as Magan Republican friends, I mean just I mean, just imagine being in a room going, all right, so we're gonna say this. You're telling me there's no one who goes ah, really but nah, they're all in it. You know why,

because again, it's if no one will ever challenge you. If your kid came out every morning and lied to you, right, So you got a kid who's going through that liar phase or he's just whatever, right, and and you know how little kid lies are, right, it's like super obvious if he did that every day and you just you just bought it. They it's just gonna get more grand. They're gonna think they can do whatever they want. And this is what that looks like to sit there and say.

Every day between now and November, the American people are going to know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump and as maga Republican friends. And to have that be the result of not just something that you may have done behind the scenes where you're trying to shirt blame for it and you don't really want to own up, but something you bragged about and

had cameras in the room documenting you doing I just think about that. Think about you had cameras in it. You invited people to come film you signing all those executive orders to expressly dismantle this program, which you had you know, negative words for you called it inhumane in a variety of other things, but you had you had a press conference to do it. It's it's like,

I'm you know, Ross, I'm gonna murder somebody. Can we get some We'll get the press around to sit there and document me doing it. And then later when they're like, ah, you murdered somebody, you gotta go to jail, You're like, I don't know what you're talking about. Well, so we have video of you literally doing it, and we have tons of social media posts by you also saying you're going to do it, and uh and you're you're you're pulling the shaggy defense. That's great, man,

And there there's more to that stupidity as well. But this is the plan they're gonna go with and it has it has thrown a lot of stuff into a tailspin. So we will we will get to that coming up. And uh, and there's more gas lighting within the administration. For that, we'll go to Jean Pierre. So, uh, just a little taste of what we're doing, and we got lots more to come. Number eight eight eight nine three four heaven eight seven four back in just a few CaCO Day

radio program. Soh number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. You want to be on the show. That's that's how you make that happen. So I just reading some insanity, man, absolute insanity. Oh there we go, Thank you, button bar do your thing. Man. All right, let's talk about the Super Bowls Shelly, Yes, yes, what's the horror probably of our management. I will use it because I'm talking about it in a new sense, so deal with it. But I won't

use the bed to mump into it. We had a few stories that Las Vegas gonna be crazy, man. I don't may not come back for the first time in I guess they're saying this the first time it's ever happened. An NFL player has been arrested during Super Bowl Week, now not one of the players for either of the two teams, but rather one of the Raiders players, the twenty four year old Genarious Robinson. What is He's a defensive end. He's a defensive player. Anyway, he was taken into custody in

the Aria resort of vale At Area. He's charged with DUI so and he had just gotten signed kind of an on the CUSP. So that's probably not good. Media day was the dumpster fire we expected because they can't help themselves. I don't know what it is. It's like, is there a contest among the media to ask the most disrespectful and or dumbest questions? Because if there is, we have a winner. So Brock Purdy, mister irrelevant, the dude who looks like he's ten. I don't even mean that in a

negative way. It's crazy how young he looks, which just means I'm probably old as hell now. So he's sitting there, and I mean the storyline of Rock Perdy, You're the last drafted person in the entire draft, hence the mister irrelevant. You're there, there's there's a former first round pick, first round pick uh uh uh Trey yeah, Trey Lance and others sitting in

front of you on the depth chart. You're you're you're likely relegated to holding uh fueld goal snaps and you get your shot and goes well, that goes well again. That is so, that is crazy Ross. I did not Ross, and I did not communicate, and he's sending me exactly what I'm what I'm setting up right now. So you're you're Rock Perdy, You're doing all this, you have this this crazy story. There's so many different questions and angles, and I haven't seen a bunch of interviews with the dude,

and so what does this dip? Reporter asked Rock perty, Hey man, you know you look a lot like Lee Harvey Oswald? What do you think of that? What are we doing? Who would you? How? In what sense would that be polite to ask somebody that? But his reaction of no comment, comrade was very telling, Yes, not what no comment comrade? Well it was it was tried to laugh it off. It was with a thick Russian accent, but I mean he said it. No, he's like, Okay, he sounds like a he sounds like a like a teenager

in the valley. I mean, just like, that's your question. Hey, all of that, all of that story, Hey man, Yeah, you look like like Lee Harvey Oswald. You ever hear that? What do you think of that? You let? Yeah, first time hearing that. So and you don't want to get caught up in that. You let that

look, you let that dog hunt. Before you know it, some guy puts you on a mug with a serial killer, so you got you know, he probably should have been more aggressive in the pushback, but I guess you know, he's got the the the all the lawyers for the players Association and all that, so they probably won't do that to him. But yeah,

that that's where we are. And then if you thought it couldn't get any whackier, it did, according to reports overnight an NFL player, And I want to be careful here because it does not state that they are a player for either of the two teams playing. And as you just saw with the Dui arrest, obviously you got, well, there's gonna be Raiders players around there. There's gonna be a bunch of players NFL players, even though

they're not in the in the game. So I don't know if it's one of the teams, although you probably were gonna have the majority representative of any individual team, So who knows. There's a report that an NFL player was at Lake Las Vegas, and you know, I don't know what they were

doing out there's a big, big, big houses out there. There's some resorts stuff, And according to the report, the NFL player, who was described as in town for the Super Bowl was attacked by a coyote at Lake Las Vegas, and the extent of the injuries at this point are unknown, though described as not super or not serious. Did you show up to do a Super Bowl and you got attacked and bit by a coyote? Now you're

talking about like a coyote or coyote? Oh uh no, coyote. So he wasn't bitt So he wasn't bitten by a smuggler, No, no, But you know, hey, that's not that far from the border in the grand scheme of things, like compared to you know, North Carolina. So I don't know who do you think it was? I don't know what if what if like Patrick Mahomes shows up and he's just like wrapped up in bandages

like a mummy and that. Yeah, because then if he throws like six touchdowns, aren't you gonna feel you you know, you're not gonna be awful? Right? Yeah, right right right? You know, Now, would Josh Allen allow himself get bitten by a coyote? He would just run through the coyote like a maniac. Yeah, or or hurdle it, you get it? Yeah? Right? How many? How many coyotes do you think he could jump? Like he's like he's a and evil man. You think a whole pack? Oh wow? Okay, all right, a whole pack

standing on top of each other. Not a bit now, yes, pole vaulty now we're into pole team. That's just stupid. That's how you measure comments. Dude, I think if Josh Allen was a pole vaulter, he'd probably be the go. It's an unbiased opinion of mine. I'm sure it is. Okay, all right, So don't get apparently they get coyote issues out there. Yeah, I'm I'm really curious who it is because you know, here's here's the here's the negative side. It could very well be one

of our players. Ross right, there's not a bunch of them in town. I follow some of the Vikings players and I've been seeing the Vegas posts on stuff, so I don't know. But uh yeah, So coyote incident and brock perty a reporter thinks he looks like Lee Harvey Oswald. I'm trying to remember which reporter said that they were commenting yesterday where they felt like I think it was Joe Buck. He was saying, yeah, he felt the broadcast there them have it in Vegas was just gonna be It's just an awful

idea. There's something awful is going to happen. Well, I mean yeah, because the ad look, obviously, the Super Bowl is a party atmosphere in and of itself, but it's Vegas man like, right, you're talking about young athletes with tons of money and free time before the game. I mean, look at the look at the dude who was the wide receiver for the Raiders who decided to see how if his corvette would do one hundred up

the strip. Remember that tragedy here prior to the season, So, uh yeah, you and and the the amount of parties that go along with the Super Bowl is crazy. It is bonkers. All of the stuff. If you ever see like a run deck, I've seen. I've seen like media sheets for coverage stuff on it. And anyone, anyone who's a sponsor, has any skin in the game, is likely involved in some big party they're throwing. Plus inherently Vegas and yeah, a bunch of young athletes with a

crap ton of money. Yeah, I did see that with Joe Budd. He's probably not wrong. I mean, you couldn't call the coyote thing, I guess, but the getting obnoxious and getting the dui and you're a you're an active player in the NFL, and that's just you know, just two days into this insanity. So we'll see what today holds. All right, six forty four CaCO Day Radio program. All Right, we're gonna have to go local. Ross. You have a fire You have fire extinguisher in your

studio too. There's one right outside the door or inside the door of my studio. Do you have a full size I had one on the wall here and yeah, I just turned ros. It's not here. We had a compliance there. Yeah, no, we used to have one. It's not here anymore. Oh wow, be a shame of your board cottage. Yeah, wow, all right, you can borrow mine maybe, but I just

want you, I want everyone to envision one. Okay. Can you just in your mind think about the full not the little home one that's on your kitchen sink, but the full size one that you would see in a business setting. Okay, all right, get that image in your head and keep it there, and then in a few minutes you're gonna be so mad that you participated. Hang on CaCO Day radio program. All right, Ross, you located your fire extinguisher, so you have a visual aid. I think

it's important. Yeah. Yeah, they moved it on me. It's been over in this corner like forever, and somewhere along the way they moved it away from the cardboard cutout lady and over here on the other side of the door. Huh, So somebody moved it. Yeah, maybe somebody wanted you to not know where it was. I think it's a conspiracy in a fire. Did you ever think of that somebody might be trying to kill you. That's something This dude was trying to kill anything person. But I don't know.

Yeah, I'll let you do the math. Headline ready, Morgington man arrested for molesting a fire extinguisher. Look at that, We got our own Florida man story right here. In North Carolina, a fire extinguisher found damaged at a historic courthouse led law enforcement to arrest a Morgington man for his role in the act well starring role, really, I mean, and then his

love interest obviously is what you found damage? All right? So officers with the Mortgaanton Department of Public Safety, they were dispatched to the Burke County Courthouse for a vandalism call, which is quite the underestimate. Upon arrival, they located twenty seven year old Joshua Sanders in the area. Upon interviewing Sanders and reviewing surveillance footage, officers say they but a day or a day these officers

are having. They determined that Sanders had broken into and damaged a fire extinguisher housing unit, which they say he then proceeded to quote willfully misuse, willfully misuse, and then discharge onto the ground of the courthouse square the extinguisher. So in this case, wilfully misuse is him quote and I'm quoting again, molesting it. And I have so many questions, like how how look at look at one. I saw it yesterday after I knew this story was coming

up. Yesterday, I was out running errands and I saw, you know, big standard fire extinguisher and I'm staring at the thing in the store for like two minutes. R was rhy y walking by where the carts were, and I'm looking at this thing like, I don't how what what did you do? And so I don't know. Maybe it's a different model than the standard ones. I just don't understand it. I also don't understand, like I get the dune to popcorn bucket with the greasy butter and the warm popcorn

and that creepy lid. I like, I understand that. I don't. I don't understand it, but I I'm not surprised that it would happen. But fire extinguisher at a courthouse. Think about all the other stuff that's at a courthouse, especially an old historic courthouse. Man, there's all sorts of stuff there, and you went for the fire extinguisher, you know, Frankly, this is what what's his bucket? Should he that's the excuse that Congressman Bowman? Should he use? Man? I mean, that's my girlfriend,

And if if this insanity wasn't enough. The mugshot Ross, does he look sorry for what he's done. No, he's staring at the camera like, yeah, I did that, that was all me. What do you do about it? Man? That's by. That's that extinguishers by now right? And and he there there are zero zero crabs given. Man, I don't know. I and frankly, I don't even enough information in this story if you're dealing like they don't intimate mental health hold or drugs like he had a

bunch of meth or something like. I don't even see that in the story here. I just see, as as Ross just pointed out, I see a very unapologetic mugshot. And I had and and again have a lot of questions. Let's see, uh, officers determine the device have been taken out of service due to the damage. So he was arrested with molesting a fire extinguisher system. Now here's my question. Do they mean molesting in simply tampering? And then if so, why don't they say because I saw people arguing

over this, well he wasn't actually molesting molesting it? Right, Well, that just means he was tampering. Well, then I'm like, well, that's what isn't that called tampering with the with that so and and with that mug shot. If you had to ask me which one I think he done. Uh, I'm gonna go with the the sexy time one. But also, what if he didn't at any point try to, you know, grind his nether? Like what if he never did that and he literally just screw

was screwing around with it. But because of the charge and then the way that the charges worded, now everyone thinks he tried to have sex with a fire extinguisher because in a way, that's that's that's pure comedy as well, because now you're at prison every day, right and they're like, what's what do you what's on your sheet? Man? Let me see what what are you here for? They see a molested a fires Oh you crazy PERV. You're like, no, no, it's just the way that they were it.

And so you think he wasn't molesting the fire extinguisher. He just sort of picked it up and like kind of flaunted, taunted, late next to close, sort of danced with the fire extinguisher. What do we say about No, no, no, I'm saying that that I saw somebody claiming that molesting in this instance is not it's not a sexual or physical act. It's not a sexual act. It just means simply tampering. And I'm like, well, wait a second, tampering is those are words we use in North

Carolina law. So I don't know if it was like that dude's cousin or whatever trying to cover for him, but saying that simply molesting the extinguisher could be a simple as simple as taking it out, discharging it, or breaking it and not have any of the pervy Florida mand style ramifications. But I'm like, well, why does it say molesting? And good luck explaining that.

Arguably this is so much worse, so much worse. I am almost convinced, reading the actual language of the North Carolina statue that this guy may not have tried to make love to this fire extinguisher, but unfortunately the charge utilized the word molested, which is in the actual statute, so that's why it's going to so it. He may have done that, but at the very least all he had to do was to utilize it, damage it, and take it out of service, and he also could have that. Yeah,

boy, that's that's that option number two. Man, that's that's horrible because now anytime somebody googles your name, the headline next to it says that you quote molested a fire extinguisher, dude. And now the mugshot makes more sense because that's not a look of yeah I did that. It's the look of really yeah right now look at that photo and imagine him going, really, that's what that is? He Now every time they're like, wait, you molested of Like, no, I know, so hear me, and

he's got to sit there in every day forever. And now he explains that, oh man, that is that is diabolical or or he did and it would fall clearly within the charge. So I I don't know, man, that is that's tough stuff. All right, let me grab a call here, Anthony. What's up? Oh? I was going to say that we haven't heard with a victim statement, so was this consensual? But I was going to say they might have to upgrade the charges. Didn't you say it

was taken out of service beforehand? Then you be uh less than a corpse? Uh? And it appears that he discharged the contents at the end, So so I wouldn't try to. I wouldn't try to Matt like this or yeah, I barely wanted to know about it, And now I'm deep diving whether whether he did or he didn't. No, I want him. I want to Mat like this. I want to I want the case to be live on TV. I need answers. Why is this? It's very born stuff here. Don't go to don't get don't get in trouble in Burt County

and you have to go to the courthouse there. Boom solved. You're welcome, Raoul, what's up morning? I do wonder if I do wonder if now we have to add FE to the already long acronym of sexual orientation acronym Mmm, I you know, Yeah, I don't. Isn't there hold on, isn't there there is something? I'd have to go back and look it up on the libs of TikTok or something. But it wasn't that people identify as camera what it was. It was just crazy enough it might fall in

there, sir, So we'll have to do some more research. So, UM, don't scriminate. I'm not. I'm not. I just uh, you know, I you know, the fire extinguisher is dutifully and uh, you know held The only time everything think of the fire extinguishers in the studios is on those rare occasions when the fire Yeah, the fire marshal dude would

come in like once a year or whatever. And if he came in in the morning, he has to pop in and he's kind of all right, look, signs off, check, march moves on, like because we haven't had any giant open fires in any radio studio I've ever worked in, so I sure never you know, looked at it in a in a longing manner. Yeah, I think that that's the name of this charge. And dude just got caught up, is now just caught up in a very unfortunate name

for this charge. That. Don't get me wrong. He shouldn't he shouldn't, you know, you shouldn't be playing around and vandalizing fire extinguishers for fun. I got no problem with the charge. So in a way, oh wow, you know what, ross though, we contected. So this is what Bowman did, right this. If Bowman had done this in North Carolina, he would be accused of molesting a fire hold on. Let me read it verbatim, he would be accused of giving false fire alarms, molesting fire

alarm, fire detection or fire extinguishing systems. That would be the actual charge fourteen dash two eighty six. That's the Republicans. That was a missed opportunity. Guys, all you had to do. What's because I wonder what the charge reads up there? Yeah, you could have totally made this thing sound so much creepier, so much creepier. But yeah, all right, Well,

you know, don't screw with fire extinguishers. Just know that there is a there's a possibility that you end up on this show in this capacity, and lord knows you don't want that, all right, So check this out. What did you just spend two hundred and thirteen thousand dollars on? Actually, you know what, if I'm gonna do this thing, I'm gonna do

this thing, right. I have my stupid government spending song, which we love because it was predicated on a story out of Wake Forest University, where a bunch of money was spent right around two hundred thousand to go ahead and give monkeys blow. So let's use that as our intro, and I'll tell you what we're wasting on money next on one hundred four gramm. That's a lot to be asking to study cocaine home monjies, give this fo up and watch out on this last and then once on is this man your mode?

The economic stimulation? Mind me? Und you grow when bocoing monkeys on powder is what you get paid to do so many ways our tax dollars. Good miss many instead of using market powder to turn from its too cookcades monkeys on Callkay? What the public have in my monkeys on called CAA monkeys on called CAA curious charge you to do a lot monkeys on calledka. So that's right.

The very same organization, the National Institute of Help that awarded the nearly two hundred thousand WAIT course back in the day to get you know, get the monkeys all U scarfaced up as also and this is really in this story. I want you to pay attention to the shoehorning because so much of this is necessary to actually make these insane stories happen. Right, you have to have these vast reinterpretations of what you even said you were going to spend the

money for. So the NIH funded two hundred and thirteen thousand dollars as part of a funding provision to quote research and do research and development related to deafness and communication disorders. All right, and this is of the digital variety, So you know, are their new apps being developed? Is their new technology with AI like predictive speech and things like that that can help here. That's

what people think of when they see this. And it's not even a justification for why the NIH is spending it, but that's what it's billed as. So what did the money actually go to? According to the abstract, it went to It went to doing research and helping to develop an app that will aid transgender individuals in voice dysphoria. All right, do you know what voice dysphoria is? So voice dysphoria happens when you are you are born one gender.

You then say that you identify as another gender. Yet every time you speak, people are like, oh yeah, okay, that's what voice dysphoria is. That is your body not presenting in your vocal patterns as that particular what you want it to because you were born the other thing. Now, it's not to say that some people, you know, some people's voices can't run the gamut. There's a there is one. There's a trans influencer who I think is a conservative trans influencer who you know, the voice is very

much more feminine than in a lot of cases. However, for the majority of individuals who are transgender, they have quote a significantly lower quality of life and a much higher presentation of voice dysphoria, which is described as distress because a person's voice does not match their gender identity. So that is what the government paid for an app with pitch, So like an app you would use

to learn how to sing, they just read their repurposing one. You paid a quarter mill for it, and it will measure tone and pitch and if you tell it what you're going for, and anytime you are above and beyond that, it will tell you so that you can attempt to moderate your voice, which is obviously what everyone had in mind when they talked about research related

to deafness and communication disorders. Two hundred and thirteen thousand dollars to tell you, Ah, you need to sound more, you need to not sound so baritone. Dude. Man, it's just we are in we are in the looters age, right, And it's not just I was talking. I think we were talking off the year about this yesterday. But like everyone's a looter. Now, not everyone, but so many people. And I don't just means the ones. I mean the ones running into the cvs and stealing all

the razors or any of that. But like everywhere I turn, everyone's just looting. We had that story where there where you had these communities including Beverly Hills, Nantucket, Martha's Vineyard, Cape Cod, San Francisco's Beach, part of the beach side of San France, who are all looting. They're like, oh no, we're the poor, we're poor, and we need these

we need these particular programs. And the way that they then justified is they go, well, you're comparably poor, right, so if you're on the if you if you don't live in the whatever that the Heights neighborhood is, which is the most expensive one in San Francisco, then comparably the beach side is poorer. What is this king shame? And it's not. Look, here's the deal. If you want to if you and your fire if you and your fire extinguisher want to go be a happy couple, fine, but

that's not your fire extinguisher, sir. You don't get to use the public. Now you're in the looter class that I'm sitting here trying to explain. But I mean, it was just every It's it's just everybody with the with

the handout and the manipulation and all of it. I mean, what you wonder why there's no incentive to ever accomplish anything, either among Democrats or Republicans for that matter, all of this crap going on with the border thing, and now the White House is going to run around and this is literally their talking point every day between now and November. The American people are going to

know that the only reason the border is not secure is Donald Trump. And as Maggie Republican friends, yeah, yeah, absolutely no, it's totally it not the thing you ran on and then literally had people video you while you

undid ninety four times. Just the amount of stupid out there, and people are willing to go along with it because we're in it's the looting age, right, and you might imperil something, right, so you're that you get in two hundred and fifty thousand, like that chick yesterday who's doing the woke

kindergarten, and you saw how well that worked out. I need two hundred thirteen thousand so I can take a basic guitar tuning app and slap some pretty colors on it and say that it's a vocal dysphoria solve problem solver chi ching and everybody's feeding at that trough. That's how you'll sit there and listen to

Joe Biden say something like that and not have your head explode. Or when he's sitting there and he's calling on a now dead French president and then his spokesperson is asked about it yesterday and everyone's like, this is this isn't just him stumbling around. This is a hallmark of problems that people have when they're dealing with dementia, where they they honestly can't track like people they've talked to and interacted within that day. And I've watched it firsthand with a family member,

and this is the response from the White House. And how is President Biden ever going to convince the three quarters of voters who're worried about his physical and mental health that he is okay? Even though in Las Vegas he told a story about recently talking to a French president who died in nineteen ninety six. I'm not even gonna go down that rabbit hole with you, sir, go ahead, go ahead. You saw the president in Vegas, in California.

You've seen the president in South Carolina, you saw him Michigan. I'll just leave it there, go ahead, what is it? And and by the way, where is the rest of the press, because they will rally, you like, and they did a lot more under Trump. They'll rally if they think that one of their colleagues is getting blown off. And it's clear that in this case, Doocey was getting blown off there and it's like,

I'm not going to go down this rabbit hole with you. And then she just list other places he's been as though that negates any concerns because I've been to all those places. Does that mean that at no point in my life could I, you know, ever be dealing with a cognitive issue. That's not how that works. I'm not going to go down this rabbit hole

with you. Shame on the rest of the press court going, you know, no answer or anything like that, because again, if you're never pressed and there's no accountability, you can say stuff like don't go down the rabbit hole, and you can say stuff like this every day between now and November.

The American people are going to know that the only reason the board or is not secure, as Donald Trump and as Maggi Republican friends, and everyone you're telling that to will know that it's BS, and everybody covering it will know it's BS and for. And there will be people like myself and probably many of you who lose your mind over this because it's so wildly disingenuous, it's such gas lighting, and it's so detrimental to actually solving any of these

problems. And yet if you're among the looter class, you're not going to rock the boat. And then and if you're among the media members there who have, you know, sharp ideological thoughts that they openly express and then say that they're you know, just right down the middle, you're not going to rock the boat. And it's like yesterday was all of that on. There's no wonder people are going into courthouses molesting fire extinguishers. Everybody's nuts will be

back. Cacoday Radio program phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Texas Burger Chain. What a Burger could be opening his first location in Fayetteville? Okay, all right, Uh, it would be part of a four million dollar shopping center they're building down there. I'm surprised there's not one here already. Do you? Uh you're a rojiver. What a burger? You go to Louisiana They have it down there, right, h Okay,

I'm gonna might irritate some people from Texas. I think it's a fine burger, but I I didn't think it was amazing, So I don't know. Maybe I'm missing it, but because that's that you get in Texas, they're like every five feet. But it is crazy, Uh, all all the all the stuff that's coming. Man, then between BUCkies and that and uh, what was it? Was it Del Taco? We're talking about Del

Taco? I think, so yeah, looking forward to that, although, yeah, I gotta go to Feydeville, but you know, from time to time if you're down there, that will be nice. All right. Let me flip over to this here from our Government Ruins Everything file. Let's see here, Well let's start. Let's start out in Washington. So in Seattle, and when I tell you what they're what they decided to do, I think we actually talked about this when they were proposing it and predicted exactly what

was going to happen. What is the downside of food delivery apps? We know what the upside is, right, you don't have to get off your butt, right and and and the amazingness that was the adaption during COVID where they'll just leave it at your door so you don't have to have any actual human interaction. A lot of people find that very appealing. I'm a fan. Ross did you go back to actually meeting the person at the door or

went back? You went back to that, But I was just gonna say, you got to ma, sure they don't ring your doorbell too, So there's kind of that thing. Not me man. If that option is still there, I'm doing it anytime I can. However, the downside is it could get damn expensive. And that's not a reflection necessarily on the person who's delivering it to you. And it's not even a reflection on the restaurants I

have. I have friends or restaurant owners who tried to resist for the longest time being on the food delivery apps, because one, you're cutting into what is already a thin profit margin. In two and in the case of my one buddy, most of his orders would ship with fries and and you know, people get their stuff and inherently it didn't go directly from point A to point B in many instances, so you would have customer complaints. And he felt that it was damaging his brand. I guess then, But the the

added fees could are just they are staggering. Like I can't tell you the number of times I've decided I was going to order something and like it's thirty some dollars and it's not an I didn't order all all the things. I just ordered, you know, what I wanted to eat. And then by the time you tack that on and gratuity, it's really expensive. So we all, anyone who's used a food delivery app understands this. And then you have to decide if it's worth the expense to you. So what does Seattle

do. Well, Seattle decides they're going to get involved. They decide that they will mandate what is known as a living wage fee. Yes, not not happy with people who are you know, do this as a side hustle or whatever to you know, decide whether the market is something that they want to participate in based on orders, based on the amount of money they're making the hustle, the distance, you know, to actually evaluate this opportunity and

decide if that is how they want to make their money. Instead, Seattle demanded that every single order on delivery apps and not just food. So if you do like Postmates for something, there's a handful of others. They tacked on a five dollars fee that they say was meant to quote help delivery drivers to get a living wage. So whatever your order is, if you order, you know, the ten dollars, you know whatever, whatever the minimum

is. I can remember if it's eight or ten dollars on some of those apps, you know, even though it'll be twenty by the time it shows up with fees. Now it's twenty five. Now it's twenty five. Well, what do you think happened? What do you think happened in Seattle? Yeah, you guessed it. What used to be considered one of the hotspots of the nation for delivery apps and alternative what do they call it? They actually have a word for it, Well whatever, but basically really embrace technology

and use these apps has now cratered. Has absolutely cratered. Seattle no longer in the top ten. In fact, the numbers are staggering, staggeringly bad. These. This is from King five. The new Seattle City ordinance, designed to give food delivery app drivers a more livable wage is backfiring. Yes, that's right. Consumers, upon seeing it get more expensive, decided not to use the apps anymore. Yeah, you see, you hit that dollar

amount. Everything's about everything is about a price point. And they hit a price point in Seattle, even with fees and gratuity that you may not you may object to and not use the apps for in Seattle, enough people did that it was one of the most utilized markets. You throw five dollars more on there. It dropped off precipitously. In fact, they estimate that it nearly cut deliveries in half. Well, remember, this whole thing was predicated

on putting more money into the pockets of these delivery drivers. But what do you think happens when the number of orders in Seattle gets cut in half but initially the same amount of people are trying to deliver the food. That's right. You absolutely cratered the amount of money that they're making, causing many drivers to say that they had to shift over to something else. Interviewed in this

Mia Shagan, who previously had made her living doing this. You ever talked to an uber driver who you could tell like they got it figured out and they're making decent money on it because they know where to sit, they know when to drive, they know what to drive. They like, some people get this all figured out and they get their plan there and you know,

and they're making ends meet. In this case, this woman was doing it and now she said that she is regularly going for hours between orders, all a result in all of their minds with this, with this dumb law that they passed there. So that's part one of I'm here from the government and I'm here to help, and part two is just as dumb. We'll get to all that here in just a moment. But first raisedagic from the Weather Channel. What's up, man, No man, not much? How are

you? Oh? Pretty good? So as Seattle's decided that all of their delivery apps they'd had a five dollars fee, and like people stopped using the apps because now they're just it's expensive. Yeah again, it's it's a lot of it just comes down every time something new and you think like it's going to be like the next best thing and be good for you, then they just start adding dollars to it. The same thing like with the streaming services.

And yeah, I was watching one of the streaming services. I won't name it, but and then all of a sudden, like I'm watching one of my shows and a commercial pops up. I'm like, when the did Prime start happening? No? I got I got prompted on it yesterday. You're talking about Prime one another two ninety nine. Yep, yeah, I

had. I hadn't launched Prime in a while. I opened it yesterday and we're ah that, yeah, right, yeah, But guess what, I'll be at the point where somebody should just go when we come full circle and just go back to old traditional linear and just watch commercials. So why would I you know, the whole point of the whole thing, I think, and I don't know. Well, and here's here's the thing. If Prime wants to do that, that's if a business wants to throw it out,

and I make a decision as a consumer. Fine. In this case, a bunch of busy bodies of the city council said, all right, if we do this, and then delivery drivers will make more, And then there's half the orders and still the same amount of drivers they're all making less and it was totally predictable. So if Prime wants to screw the screw the pooch on your own, that's fine. I don't get elected officials doing it. So that a good point. By the way, before rays forecast, there

is now a monthly one ninety nine fee for weather services. So you send that, you send send the money to the station Ross and I will handle it. You know. I was always curious, like even if it was a buck, if I said, you know, if ever took this thing on my own, and I said, you know what, if I had like A just said, for anybody who's following me, it's a it's a dollar a month, I wonder. I just wonder. I watched I you know what, I watch people give cold heart cash to Ross for digitally murdering

horses. So what people will pay for stuff? I know? And that's my whole time. Maybe I do have a life after this, But now I'm good. I thought you were going to go and maybe I shouldn't, but I'm going to. I thought you were going to go to the basketball game last night, but I won't say anything. I was just as shocked as probably most of the tar Hill fans. You're referring to the UNC Clemson

I am referring to that. Okay, all right, basketball. Yeah, well honestly I wasn't watching the game, but I was on my Apple TV. Does those notes of the upset notifications? And I'm like, really, so cold's see it? So cool? You have Apple TV? Yeah I do? Yeah, did you watch? Oh god, what's one about space? There? Last Man or the First Man or whatever? Oh no, I know, for all mankind, for all man No, I have not very good. I enjoyed it. Actually, I enjoyed it. Actually anyway.

Yeah, as you can see, I got nothing to talk about the weather because it's going to beautiful. So low fifties today, upper fifties tomorrow, sixties by Friday. We'll see a little bit more cloud Friday, could approach seventy by the weekend. Saturday the best chance, yes, yeah, oh no, no, go ahead, I'm sorry, okay, yeah, and some showers though, and showers Sunday, Monday. Monday might be an all out rain, but we're still in the sixties. We don't cool down

maybe sometime earlier middle of next week. So good for the next three days. Then it gets a little kind of unsettled. I don't see a washout for Saturday, Sunday, Monday might get a little bit more steady rain at times. Well, if you need something to do, can I give you some homework? Sure? Wait, let me write this down? Yeah yeah, yeah, go ahead. Can you can you figure out which NFL player got attacked by the coyote out in Vegas? I can't heard of this,

Nope, it just the report is that an NFL player. Now doesn't specify that it's one of the two teams players because they arrested a Raiders player for DUI last night. So there's obviously other folks about Apparently, quote an NFL player went out to Lake Las Vegas and was attacked by a coyote, and they're not saying who it is, So I don't know. Maybe it was Micah Parsons. I don't you know, Hey, it could have been.

Maybe it was Dak Can He tried to scramble and it immediately got him, because what happened, Yeah, because yeah, alright, sorry, I'll look Dusty if I can. Okay, all right, all right, thanks man, appreciate it. Okay, all right, seven forty eight KCO Day radio program. So yeah, the government here to help Part one. Part two is going to include one of our favorites, Focahontas. All that coming up.

Hang up KCO Day Radio program. Thanks for joining us. All right, before I get to the Focahontas thing, I was reading this this morning. New York Post had a write up and then I went and I actually read the longer article this is predicated on in the Washington Post and I am blown away. So there is what's there is an entire swath of individuals who the way that they make their living is being Disney consultants. They don't work

for Disney then have any affiliation. Instead they have they sell expensive classes and even provide personalized service, kind of like a travel agent would, but obviously more in depth. I guess for people who are stressed about going to Disney

and all the complexities it includes. All right, So here is Teresa Brown, who's a New York City resident, said, the sheer brain power just to figure out the Disney lingo and landscape is monumental, and if you've never been there, you are concerned that you're not going to get the best experience

at the park. As a result, they highlight several individuals across the country who are Disney Travel consultants, and it ranges from books to remote classes, zoom classes, literal remote classes and if you're willing to shell out the money, actual consulting services where they're going to handle the logistics for you, and what they charge is I'm looking at this number, I'm like, that's what a vacation should cost. And that's just the consulting. It doesn't surprise me.

Marky's actually considered sort of like doing this sort of thing before in the

past, and she'd be really good at it. And I could tell you from from the first when the first time I went there, it is completely overwhelming and you don't realize how big the property is and how complicated it can be because you get there and you're spending so much money and you want the most for your money, and you don't want to spend all line just you know, all day standing in like one line for a ride and you want

to get you know, you know, maximize your time. Dude. It can be very overwhelming and confusing and way you went out five hundred dollars or more to have it all handled. I mean, I would not be surprised the amount of money people spend on these trips anyway, I wouldn't be surprised. And at that point, you're spending that amount of money, Yeah,

what's what's five hundred dollars more to these people. But there's also like there's whole YouTube channels dedicated to just the parks, and a lot of people watch these channels, like we've talked to them about them before that She's like the trackers, you have these people where and we've done this before to where you would watch a video before you go so you kind of know what you're doing before you go, so you waste your time once you go to the gates. No, no, no, And that I understand. I I do

that. I watched a bunch of Galapago stuff where I went. If I'm going, like, I'll watch a video if I'm going to a you know, just a random city and something pops up that I find interesting. But what I don't I look, when I go on vacation, I don't want like it wasn't it wasn't even that stressful on that big trip I took. And you have to have like permits to go there, and I and like

there are others some paperwork. It wasn't a problem. Disney sounds like such a logistical nightmare that if I was in the park and I constantly thought I had missed out on the proper experience, like that would kill all the fun for me. And that's supposed to be a fun thing. And yet the level of complexity there is just is BoNT or correct. And I can tell you when those gates open, specifically a Magic Kingdom sing in the morning,

you can get trampled. It's bit's insane. People are nuts because they have their entire afternoon plan and they're like, I need to get to this ride and this this one, I need to get there. It's it can be a very overwhelming now and in those situations the worst just comes out in people.

I mean, unfortunately, but uh now I was blown away. I saw those dollar amounts and uh now, Elizabeth Warren, having dealt with everything else except her background, has has a new g hod uh and is taking on what is known as let's see snack quotas or snack shrink Yes, fewer Dorito's in your bag, fewer oreos, less toilet paper. You aren't imagining big corporations are making you pay the same amount this is uh in giving you

less Eco day radio program. Glad to have you along, and glad to get a chance to chat with the Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson, who joins us, Now, how you doing this morning, sir? I'm doing good. How are you doing? Oh no, everything's on fire all around us.

I mean, what the amount of gas lighting? And I know that obviously you see this stuff and I want to slam my head into a wall, So I'll ask how you deal with it when Joe Biden is sitting there and the media and the Democrats have taken the following position that and let me play this little bit of audio every day between now and I remember, the American people are going to know. But the only reason the border is not secure

is Donald Trumps Magan Republican trans like. When that level of pure propaganda goes unchecked and it is left to fester out there, it turns into a political football then for all involved who are running for office. That would include you obviously, So the media is not going to check it. How do Republicans not allow idiots to fall for this? Well? You know, but that's

just the thing, you know. I catch a lot of black Mafean things that people back boats shouldn't shouldn't say, they'll get time to say the things that people don't want to say. It's time to tell the hard truth. It's time to tell the truth, to say that we have a president who is obviously either completely insane, not fit to be in office, or is someone who's been put in place to try to destroy the sovereignty of this country. Because he is the reason why the border is in the shape of this

here. He has the power and the ability to secure that border, and he is not doing it. And to try to say that this the guy who's no longer in office, but should be in office, and if he was in office, the border would be secured like it was when he went

was in an office, it's just pure insanity. As far as the mainstream media goes, the vast majority of the mainstream media is completely useless for anything except divide and destroying this country and trying to drive this insane narrative that's being preached from the highest levels of government. Okay, so you look over at the Republican Party and there's a report to Ron McDaniel is going to be out after South Carolina. I see our own Michael Wattley's name is being bounced around,

maybe taking that gig over. And you see people like Senator Langford and even Mitch McConnell who allowed this insanity that is this bill to move forward. And why wouldn't they think they can feast on the Republican Party. They seem to be in disarray. Mark, you know, I have no idea. You know I say it all the time, casey Uh. This party says

that it's going to be the vanguard for freedom in this nation. We still we talk about all these things endlessly, about protecting our border, about stand up for law and order, about protecting women and protecting women's sports and all these things. But then when the subject comes up, whether it be about life or protect the women's sports, though securing the border or law and order, we have these shrinking violets to them back into the bushes and don't want

to talk about these things in a demonstrative way. They don't want to get on the platform and tell the unfiltered truth about what's going on in our country. That's what's gotta stop. We've got to shake people to their core, wake them up, and get them understand this is not status quo. Politics

as well years ago. We are now seeing a diametric divide between folks who want to fundamentally transform this nation into some type of socialist experiment and those who want to see the Great American Republic as it was formed continue to succeed. And this is not Ronald Reagan's fight. This is not even George W. Bush's fight. This is the fight literally for the soul of this country. And we have politicians that don't want to act that way, and we can't

have that. We can't have that with our elected officials, and we can't have that with the folks who want our party. Okay, So how as a candidate in a race that is I can't even imagine what the money is going to be. I saw the fundraising stuff. You're Josh Stein sitting on like twelve mil. They don't have your number in front of me. But how do you here we go? Uh, you have four point three million, Josh nine eleven point five on hand. Obviously that is a significant difference.

How do you how do you close that gap? And how do you look forward to the general election under the assumption that you win the primary? We you know, we we really don't We don't. Look, we don't believe we're gonna be able to close that gap, and we don't need to close that gap. What I need is to be able to have enough money to get out and tell the people my story. I know we're Republicans are

generally we're outraged by Democrats, and we understand that. But we believe wholeheartedly that we'll be able to raise enough money and we will be able to raise the funds that we need that we will not allow Josh Side to tell the people of North Carolina who we are. We are going to get out and tell the people of North Carolina who we are. And if we can do that, they can see the stark differences between who I am, between who he is, and between my vision and his vision. I think there will

be no doubt that the people will will choose me. What do you when you're going around the state right now? Biggest I mean, what is the biggest issue for folks in North Carolina? Border, economy, everything? Of course, the biggest issues right now in our state, our economy, and our education system. Right now, we have a grand opportunity right now to expand our economy, start the process to really expand our economy all across the

state. We've seen the organic growth and continues to go skywards since we made the changes in the legislature and past such great policy in the legislature. We see that going now now we have the ability to make some great investments in our states to help that organic growth grow continue excuse me. And on the other side, we've got some serious issues with our education system that we've got

to fix. We have to bring accountability to the highest levels of education at the state level, I believe, and make some serious changes there so that we can't have a highly skilled and highly trained workforce. Let me ask you this from a strategy standpoint, it is obviously February's Black History Months, and there's very few candidates who are black who are not leaning into that in some

way, shape or form. I haven't seen you do that from advertising or even social media posting, So if I missed it, let me know. But is that by design? Why is that? If not by design, Casey, But as a student of history, I understand a simple concept. There is no black single Black History month. Every month is Black History month because every month is American History Month, and American Black History is American history.

There's no separating from me. The folks who who worked and died on the slave plantations of the Old South are just as important, is an important part of American history as George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. And I hope to be able to teach in the classroom one day. And when I teach in the classroom, I'm going to teach our whole history. And when you teach our whole history, it includes everyone, and no one should just get a

single month. We should tell American history, and we should tell all of it, including all of its people, and that includes Black Americans. So for me, Black History Month is every month because every month is American History Month, and American history is Black history, and vice versa. MSNBC decided to do a panel where they went to a black barber shop, right, and so you see the guys, the customers and some of the barbers. They're all sitting in the chairs there, and I think MSNBC was caught a

little off guard. Let me play this audio. It's a response by one of the barbers. There's some people in your orbit who are either voting for down Trump considering it for sure, A lot of my friends are obviously my So we're a little younger. We've only voted once, you know, for actual for a president, and Trump is kind of all we know. And they're kind of Trump and Biden. They're like, well, we were broke

with Biden, we weren't with Trump. And that's kind of the only thing that I'm hearing over and over again, over and over again is that when Trump we had money. Well, okay, all right, so you know people are critical obviously, identity politics and slicing, indicing various groups is part of polling, part of everything else. But the media would have you believe that, you know, to the ninety ninth percentile, unless they're insane,

such as yourself. Black voters are strictly Democrats and everyone else is crazy. Is that your experience within the community, and do by ignoring those breakdowns and I guess pandering, do you or other Republicans run the risk of maybe costing yourself some voters by not getting them at least enthusiastic. Well, here's the

thing you said a key word here, pandling. And that's the thing that I'm sick of more than anything, I'm sick of seeing these commercials that pander I'm sick of these politicians who every two boards six years, they come out and they pander to black voters and make these promises. Pine This guy promises that they love them so much and we want to do so much for you, But then their communities continue to stay in this failing mode after these folks

win the election. That is not what I'm seeing on the ground. In fact, where I'm at in Guilperh County, I'm seeing the exact opposite. I'm seeing folks who are who are breaking away from that and saying the only options that we have is to find elected officials who want to give us our autonomy, who want to simply get out of the way and let us be in charge of our communities. Let us run our own schools, let us run our homes. Stop put these stipling regulations on top of us, Stop

telling us that we have to keep our kids in failing schools. They want folks to get out of the way, do the things that they have for a view, well, work on the roads and work on public safety in those things, but give us the things that we need. Simply get out of our way to let us through our business. And there are a lot of folks out there looking for candidates that are going to do that, and

I think we're gonna see those changes coming in November. Meanwhile, as the legislature tries to figure out what the short session will be upcoming, what are the rumors, what are the discussions you're having, What is going to be the priority in when lawmakers finally come back. I would not sit here and say that I'm prepared to say that right now, because there's a lot of

uncertainty there. I like to stay on the same page with the General Assembly, and I don't want to put anything out for them to may put the two of us in opposing opposing jams. We'll put our heads together and decide which direction we're going to go in, and when we do, we'll make those announcements, and I hope the people will be pleased when we do. Is well, I guess I'm are there things that you feel as you probably are, deviate from current Assembly leadership. I mean, for the most part,

I think you guys are on the same page. I think we are on the same page. It's just a matter of what we're going to take up in the time that we have. One of the things cases that I

really would love to see revisited. There was a bill on the table around some requirements around breast cancer treatment, and I've talked to some folks who think that's really good legislation, really good bipartisan legislation that will bring some better tear two women when it comes to detective breast cancer, and I would love to see that comeback in the short session. It's one of the things that I'm

very passionate about. I was sorry to see that it didn't move forward in the long session and get passed, and I would like to see it revisited in the short session. So possibly we could get that passed because it is a it's a huge issue, and it would I think it will serve the people of the state very well. So you follow what's going on over in Durham with the with the schools and the pay where they paid and then they overpaid, and then when they tried to pay correctly, people start to walk

outs and they had to reallocate money. Now they're talking about the superintendent getting out of there. The dysfunctionality is astounding in that case and several others. You know, one of the things here in North Carolina is we have kind of a unique system in the way that powers are designated at local municipalities.

The state does have some control in those instances. Just from a philosophy standpoint, do you really think the states should be stepping in or do you just let them, you know, make their mistakes and their constituents have to deal

with it and maybe it'll teach them to vote better next time. Because that's the fear that a lot of people have, is that all of a sudden, the state will come to the rescue even when you screw up royalty or royally sure sure you know, when you start crossing those lines between state control local controls, it oftentimes even creates more chaos, which is why they I believe after we make some quick subsidence changes in November or beyond November, should

we win the governor's seat, to make some changes on the state school board, I believe that the entire General Assembly we should all put our heads together with educators and experts across the state to really take a look at how we can change our school system from top to bottom. Of what we have right now is clearly it is clearly not working, and it's not the amount of money we're spending. We spend over fall a half our entire state budget on

public education. So it's not the money I would commit you that, it's the bureaucracy being over be bloated, uh and not and disjoin it and not working well together. And so we've got to take a serious look at how we're going to change that. It's going to be a long and difficult conversation and may take years to change, but we've got to start the Okay, we're chatting with the Lieutenant Governor Mark Robertson, also a gubernatorial candidate, And

then just one quick other story here. This the headline n see childcare model quote unsustainable approaching fiscal cliff. This is this whole bigger debate about what provides or what is provided in a basic decent education or however it's outlined in our constitution. And rather than just K through twelve, it's been expanded to preschool

in the minds of lawmakers, and even childcare. What responsibility does the state have in helping to provide childcare because some folks in Raleigh seem to think it's they should just pay for it. So where are you at? Well? Again, the whole childcare system, daycare system, whatever you want to call it, is a riddle, another ribble when we're going to have to call you know, one of the things I'm passionate about is expanding our economy.

That means building the workforce. Of course, that means more jobs, more careers. Folks who work are gonna need child care, and we're gonna, you know, when the folks put their children in the child care, they're gonna want quality childcare. The problem is what we're running into right now. Many of our daycare centers, and even really good daycare centers, can't pay their staff enough to keep them bare. I mean, you're looking at McDonald's

fans fifteen twenty fifteen and twenty dollars an hour much easier work. So we're gonna have to put our heads together and figure that one out. Because I'm a firm believer, you know, in case, I'm a big, big pro life guy, and I want to build a coach lock in the States. Part of that is gonna be how we help our daycare system, in our childcare systems work and work efficiently. And so it really is it's a

tough balance between the private sector and public officials and the government. But I believe if we put our heads together and talk honestly about it, I think we can we can bring them some there. We've already I've already seen somethings in in the works that folks want to do. We just don't know if we can run those models and the CFL actually work, because whatever we do, we have to make sure that we don't do it hastily, because hasty

legislation all the time brings undesired results. Well, and you kind of and I'm glad you kind of anticipated what was gonna be my follow up, because yeah, how do you know it does? It does comport with you know, some arguments over pro life, pro choice, but I will leave that for another day. Mark, I appreciate the time this morning. I have a good one and we'll chat soon. Okay, absolutely, thank you sir. All Right, there you go, Mark Robinson here on the CaCO Day

Radio program, just kind of bouncing around. Only got to about half the stuff I wanted to get to, and it's it's just gonna get crazier from here as we get deeper in and the primary less than a month away. Craziness, all right, So a twenty four CaCO Day Radio program, Hang on the The dumb criminal industry is for if anything's up, it's up. Man, let's see where do I want to start here? All right, Ross, I'll let you pick your choices are Florida, South Carolina, Tennessee.

I'm gonna go to Tennessee. Ah. Ross wants to go to Tennessee first. That's a good choice. I like this story. I don't like this story because obviously somebody is dead, but it is. There's some questions. Grayson County, Kentuck. Oh, I'm sorry it was Kentucky. You want to change your answer or he changes to Kentucky. I'm sorry. Now I'm staying with Tennessee. I don't have anything. Gonna be forced to find a story now. Man, all right, well, I'll look it up

later. Let's go to Kentucky. First. Court documents say that the man arrested Monday for the murder of a woman an attempted murder of two others used a samurai sword in the attack. Again, everyone has a sword but me. Forty nine years old George Greer arrested after an extensive statewide search by Kentucky State Police. He allegedly attacked two women and a man with a samurai sword, killing one of the one of the women. I understand. I think

the man's injuries are pretty significant. He's in critical condition. Eventually, he took a vehicle, fled, broke in a nearby home, stole some clothes, fled again, got stuck in the mud, ran away. They caught him. Here's where it gets interesting. The rest report says that he spoke to troopers at length about the crimes that had taken place, and admitted to

killing the woman and injuring the two others. However, said he was he was he had just taken a bunch of drugs, all the drugs, and was not in his right mind, and in fact thought he was a shogun. Yeah, okay, sir, your story's falling apart when you say stuff like that. I get the drug drug angle, But a shogun doesn't do any work, right, that's the boss man, that's like, that's a military boss. Do you not even understand your ninja lore, your samurai lore?

Here, the shogun in fact or in feudal Japan was actually more more powerful than the emperor. No, the shogun hangs down that castle with the sliding doors with the ninja's hiding in the ceiling to protect him. Yeah, this isn't good, outlets. Yeah, this is Samurai Ninja one on one and then the samurais on behalf of the Shogun go out and do stuff, and sometimes there's thirteen of them, and you should watch that movie. It's pretty good. Thirteen samurai. Okay. Yeah, so like you said,

Samurai sir, you get Samurai sword. I don't know, but Shogun's not working, all right, said story number one, number two. Let's go to South Carolina before we go to our favorite, that is Florida. Police in South Caroline, I said, they've tracked down the man who allegedly donned a ski mask and a camouflage outfit to kidnap a woman. The woman in this case, let's see here. The victim was taken against her will by who police say is her ex ex boyfriend, who obviously had never gotten over

it. But initially they didn't know that because again, he put on the whole camo suit, put the ski mask over, apparently approached the victim, grabbed her. The victim and the dude donning all camo with the ski mask who doesn't stand out, were eventually seen near a gas station, but deputies couldn't find him. They searched vehicles, you name it. There was one

small wrinkle in this dude's playing. So even though he he wanted to remain anonymous and kidnapped this woman so if something went wrong couldn't be traced back to him, he forgot that his Camo hunting suit that he was personalized. It has his name on it right there, big letters right across. And for what reason is personalized? I don't know, but just how do you think that works? You have a Camo suit and therefore and you and you don't

realize your names across the front. Because it sounds like she knew what was up, and somebody at a gas station knew what was up. They're like, oh, yeah, that's Greg. And then obviously with the history or excuse me, that's not Greg. Jonathan. Greg was the last idiot. Yeah, that's not how Camo works, right. It's not like, I mean, the deer won't I guess the deer won't see your name, but you know, humans will, detectors said. Eventually, around two am,

they showed up where they had last received a report. I have a car hitting the side of a house and then another object being thrown at it, and they say that that's the camo dude with the ski mask and his stupid name on there was to blame. They eventually found him. He had removed the camo and the mask and was pretending like he didn't know what was up, but everyone knew what was up. So yeah, you're not gonna get away with that. And then finally Florida, did you guys see the naked

dude who walked in Fort Lauderdale Airport yesterday? I mean you don't have to see you can see the blurred version. I would recommend that a drunk and fully naked Florida man was arrested after he casually strolled into the Fort Lauderdale Airport. And this is I'll tell you why this this video is so funny.

Here in a moment, so he rolls into the airport, he parks right at the you know right redrop off your you know, your loved one or whatever, and just leaves his car there, walks in the airport naked as a jaybird, walks directly over to the security screening area for Terminal one and it just gets in line. How does he think that's gonna go down that? How does it when it's his I mean, obviously they're gonna they reacted before this, But how did you think that was gonna play out? Dude?

Like, did you think that would expedite your security line experience? I mean, he doesn't have to go through that machine right where he scans he and they can see you naked? Yes, he does, really because they're like, they're just gonna assume his luggage is in his butt. I mean it's it's now I understand why you have that machine? This guy, well

whatever. Apparently he didn't get the reaction he thought he was going to get from TSA as he started and local law enforcements started moving in, So he exited the line reportedly, and then attempted to access a secure door labeled restricted

access, was unsuccessful. Then he decided to go to the baggage the baggage line, the drop off that interior one, and then he went and he went and went to the baggage carousel, at which point footage captures the man bent over the baggage conveyor belt in front of people who are waiting for their bags, which is so annoying. You ever been there, trying to retrieve your bags and somebody it's clear that you've posted up right here. Right.

Generally you don't want to be directly at the bottom of where they spit out because that could be pandemonium. But like you know, you get about ten feet down the row waiting for the carousel to start spinning, and inevitably somebody will cut in front of you, even though you're clearly standing there clearly, and they don't care. And a lot of times they'll use their kids to do it. I see what's up. But this guy decided the best way

to clear out a spot was to show him everything. Eventually police apprehended him and he's charged with uh well, he's charged with all the stuff. So uh, don't do that. Even at Fort Lauderdale, which is kind of a weird airport, they would prefer you wear clothes. All right, Ray stage from the Weather Channel. How you doing, man, I'm doing well with all my research? Oh good? All right? So who was who got eaten by the coyote? You know, nothing's official, but there's a

lot of rumors out there. Yeah, all right, we could. Yeah, I liked I liked the Jason Kelcey one though, that's the best rumor. Well, that's that's just people being ugly. I mean, come on, yeah, I know, I know, I know, but uh yeah, you know, bit attacked whatever they want to call it. Interesting Kirk, if you told me it was Kirk Cousins, I would under stand it. Because the guy can't run, so yeah, like extra can't run with

the Achilles right now, I don't know, especially slow. Yeah, well, I don't believe it's it was like it says a player in town. I don't know if that means it's a player participating or not participating. I don't know whatever. But either way, anyway, you're just gonna ignore the naked guy in the Fort Lauderdale Airport. Uh but you know, I was, so, what's what's the car rocks in gets in the security line naked as a jaybird? Oh wow? The best part. The best part is

is the you hear people in the background. This is why Spirit Airlines has some branding issues, because there's people joking I must be on Spirit right, which Ross pointed out that's really the only way to actually cheaply fly right, because you know, then you're like, I have nothing. You can't even gate check me screw all y'all. But yeah, yeah, maybe you didn't want to go through the security demonstrata. Yeah, me too much, apparently.

All right, I'm sorry, that's fine, that's fine. Yeah, lots of sunshine, not not much at all to the weekend, so enjoy the next few days for February. It's great. I know I've been repetitive with that, but in case you missed it, load to mid fifties today and tomorrow, bright sunshine. We'll see a little more grace skuy by Friday, but we're gonna get into the sixties, some showers over the weekend, early Saturday, and then on Sunday Monday, maybe a little bit more rain

around. We got a shot, especially for the Triangle, to get near seventy degrees on Saturday. So the mile trend will continue for the weekend, but we'll start incorporating the wet weather threat, and then next week we'll start slowly turning a little bit cooler to colder. So mid to late month looks a little interesting. And I'll just keep that in the little confines here of my little meteorologist studio for now. Okay, all right, yeah, you

do that, and we'll chat tomorrow. Sir, thank you, okay, and Jeff Bellinger next, hang on Bloomberg Update now Jeff Bellinger joining us. Jeff, what's happening in the morning case the major stock averages moved higher yesterday, and the future suggests they may start out higher this morning. We're higher right across the board, with the Dow futures up fifty two points. Ford posted stronger that expected quarterly results after the markets closed yesterday. The automaker also

predicted its profits will increase this year. Snap shares, though, took a pounding after hours. Quarterly revenue at the parent of Snapchat missed forecasts, and the company issued disappointing guidance. Target is reportedly considering launching a paid membership program. Sources tell Bloomberg a project titled internally as Trident could lead to the launch of a service similar to Amazon Prime or Walmart Plus, and it could be

announced this year. Target currently has a free loyalty program it's called Target Circle, but it's looking for ways to boost growth and be more competitive. Out of the nation's big bang have been closing branch offices, but the biggest bank of all is going all in on branches. JP Morgan Chase has a three year, multi billion dollar plan to open more than five hundred new branches and renovate about seventeen hundred, and Chase expects to hire about thirty five hundred employees.

Cable cutting sports fans will have a new option this fall. ESPN, Fox and Warner Brothers Discovery are teaming up. They'll launch a sports focused streaming service that will feature many of the major professional and college games that until now have only been available on traditional TV. We don't know yet what the service will be called or how much it will cost. In casey, we know that Valentine's Day is a week from today, but did you know that National

Breakup Day comes a week later? From now through the twenty first PF Changs is inviting people to send text messages with their sad stories of love loss. In return, they'll get a free order of shrimp or pork dumplings. Casey, would you're doing it all wrong too? You want a breakup day to be a week before Think of all the money that saves you versus a week after that. That is a good point, yeah, right? You with somebody like I don't want to go get a game even if you're just too

lazy to go to the store. Just just send them a text. We're done there, boom, money in your pocket? All right, look at that a good advice you too, thanks Jo. Okay, right? Am I wrong here on the financial I mean, is the is the math not working here? I feel like I'm correct? Uh Netflix, I'm gonna defend I'm gonna partially defend Netflix, now you know what, not even because I

see what they did here. But I'm gonna partially defend uh History because I've mentioned on the show many times, pan of history, so uh knew what is this? It's I came the whole name of it. Hang on, yeah, here we go. Uh. A new series based on the life of Alexander the Great has hit Netflix. That thing being crazy Okay, it's a six part docu series the Mate. It's called Alexander The Making of a God Ross. What do you think we learned within eight minutes that has caused

a buzz with people? Alexander the Great bro was trance. They didn't know, and they didn't know he didn't go these just super gay, super gay, and and within eight minutes he's making out with his buddy and people are kind of losing their mind. Here's the thing. Here's the thing about because

I've said, look, just stick to history. I don't think it's I don't think there's a debate that Alexander the Great was bisexual because the era in which he lived, within the cast in which he lived, being the commander that he went, that was perfect, That was perfectly acceptable among the upper class within the thing, and it was actually it was just it was just

kind of a regular deal. And there's a lot of writing about relationships that he had and his own mother wanting offspring and not figuring out why she wasn't getting it, and eventually he did marry and have offspring, but he lived with this childhood friend. So here's the thing. It is, if you're going to tell the story of Alexander the Great and you're going to attempt to tell the personal life, then it's not inaccurate to put it in. And

people are freaking out. But the reason people are freaking out is because, damn near at every other turn they feel like you just shove things down their throat for no reason, or you do the thing where you just retroactively with no evidence decide, hey, remember that historical person yet super gay or autistic. That's the other one that you see a lot of where everybody, anybody who was anybody back in the day was on the spectrum, and you know,

it's all speculation. With Alexander the Great, there is some truth to it, but then also it seems to be the only part of it they're leaning into, and it's much more complex than that. So
