Kcoday Radio program on the countdown to Saint Patti's Day that's coming up here, you know, over the weekend. So yeah, you got that. And I understand they're doing like basketball or something. College basketball. Is that a thing going? Oh? Look at the ACC tournament? Oh man, that was fun. Those there's ACC tournaments. Hopefully everyone in Greensboro's having a good

time with Oh I'm sorry it's in Washington, DC. Sorry, you know that this is a point of annoyance for me and probably many of you over the years who enjoyed like the ACC Tournament in not an insane setting. I mean, don't get me wrong, the Greensboro Coliseum would be banging man parkins sucked. Least he gets a barbecue across the street, gorge yourself there and then sit around watch the games. Man. But it was it just felt it felt local, you know what I mean. It felt like this is

this is ours, this is this belongs to NC. And I I hated now where they're like, no, well, you know what we gotta do is we had to do a Madison Square garden or up in DC. I like, I'm trying to think, what is the well, I guess what would the closest team or city with an ACC TV. Sorry, my brain's not one hundred percent this morning on that question because I should have looked that

up. But I guess obviously one of the team's out of Virginia. So I I don't know, man, Because it's like, it's about the venues, and I understand it's also about the ACC having a product that even people who are not ACC fans care about. Right, there's a lot of people who may be root for, root for you know, an SEC team or

a Big ten or you know, whatever it is. And and yet you know the draw of Carolina and the draw of Duke, and you know, pick one or two other teams maybe on an annual basis that are getting it done. It's a high bar, right. It's like it's like the SEC for football, maybe not quite to that extent, but and so you want to be able to show that off. You want to be able to make it profitable for you know, for the kids. And still, man, it's such a loss to not have it there. And then people will be

like, well, you know, could they'll rotate? If you look at the rotation list, you know, once every quadrillion years, it will be there, so shut up, all right, whatever, they got bigger fishes to fry. So before you go and go fish, it's fish, yeah, probably is, But fishes is a word too, so don't believe me. Look it up. Fish can be you know, if you had one hundred bass, then those would be fish. But if you had a bass and a walleye and a crappie and that, then you would have fishes because

they're different species. Sorry, we're learning stuff this morning. So yeah, that's trucking away. What a coincidence though, you get you can sports gamble in North Carolina right the day there. I will say this, You know, they had a much longer window to implement all of that, and I'm glad state officials did the obvious thing there regards to how you feel about it, just in the functionality, in the way that government actually carried some thing

out was mildly impressive. So any who, So we got that going on, and we have another thing. So yesterday, if you were, I guess sucked into the bubble of social media, it was absolutely inundated with the testimony of investigator Robert Hurry investigated the you know, Biden and the documents. Of course, it was his report that famously laid out essentially, he's too

old in senile to be held accountable. Yeah, yeah, too old and seen off and and kind of it's intimated because it's two different times times. Right, it's now and then it's whenever this crap started. And there's still kind of leaning into the fact that it would be be cruel and unusual to punish the the the doddering old man. And that really looked from an ego shot standpoint, that fired up not just Biden, but it fired up the

the Democrats on the panel during the hearing. They were losing their everyone was losing their damn mind, Adam Schiff, Thang, Thang's boyfriend, you name it, just losing their crack. And then they would just say stuff, right, it would just say like, here is a J. Powell or however you say her name. The insane squad memory of this lengthy, expensive

and independent investigation resulted in a complete exoneration of President Joe Biden. For every document you discussed in your report, you found insufficient evidence that the president violated any laws about possession or retention of class find materials. Now, I just see you understand how devious this woman is she is an anti American piece of garbage. In my humble opinion, I think that she is delusional in uh when I hear her talk about she had she had a totally unrelated thing yesterday

where she was just backcrap crazy. That being said, what she's saying there is too is very intentional. Because now there's that audio clip I cut it off before the response here, but understand that that's its own standalone thing. And so if I'm a dishonest hack on Twitter, I can go, well, uh yeah, during the hearing yesterday, Congresswoman j Powelluh, she she

laid it out and then boom. And then if you're some moonbat who gets all your news from three Twitter accounts, the Young Turks and meth, then you're like, all right, there's no here here. But there is more to this cut. The primary law that you analyze for potential prosecution was part of the Espionage Act eighteen Usc. Seven ninety three E, which criminalizes willful retention or disclosure of national defense information. Is that correct, Congressman, That

is one statute that we analyzed. I need to go back and make sure that I take take note of a word that you use exoneration. That is I'm going to continue with my questions. I'm going to continue with my questions. I know that's the term I ultimately reached. I know that evidence existed such that the likely you exonerated a conviction. I know that willful reduction has mister hurts my time, Thank you? So yeah, so what do you

got in the congressional record? There? You have her statement. You also have the word exoneration used, hers trying to push back on it, and you can hear that she immediately wants to put the kaibosh on that. Yeah, it's not I'm literally writing a report and then from there it's up to what the prosecutors want to do. Does literally how an investigator works, right If like, that's not even that's not even how it happens with uh,

you know, the your local police office. You're you know, it's not an independent Once something has gone that far where you have brought in, you have brought in, you know, a full investigative task force because it's you know, her obviously has people working with him for the number of interviews they're

doing. Once you have reached that level in some sort of investigation, I obviously her is coordinating with the dog a DJ right through appointment and also knowing who he's got to present to even if he is independent at the time when he's doing the actual investigating. And that's that's how it works. Right. Let's say it's Wake County. Right, so's some something in Wake County.

They have a team of investigators from Raleigh p D or the Sheriff's office, maybe a combination of folks from the from the state criminal investigative folks, and they go through it. They're also coordinating with the DA ed Lourene Freeman. Right, here's here's what's Here's here's what we found during our investigation. Because it's escalated to that point. So it's it just shows you how wildly dishonest this is. And we'll play more audio and h well, you know,

we'll question the veracity of what's being said and break it down. But what to me was far more fascinating, and this is where we're headed in a moment, was the contents of the totality of the transcript. I'm not I'm not gonna tease it above that because I don't want to spoil a minute, but we'll get into it next here on the CaCO Day radio program. Bet

let me start with the transcript stuff. So again, this isn't where there's audio, though there is some audio that speaks to a couple of these issues coming up a little later. But these are I don't want to use the term lighthearted, and I'll tell you why at the end, but these are interesting would be the good the best way to say it. All right, So uh these, Cobb, there's like five of these I pulled together. So here we go. I thinks she's a few more. Okay, So

first this ah the car, all right, here we go. While explaining why classified documents may have possibly been in his garage, Biden got sidetracked and instead started talking about his Corvette. Loves that Corvette, right, it's in a meme describing how much he loves test driving electric cars, and then made car noises. It reads you quote, you know, think about this. You had one of those big four by fours the I think it's the Ford Bronco whatever. It is, zero to sixty four to six, to which

her replied, that's fast. Yeah, but do you know how it works? Said Biden, her, attempting to steer the conversation back to the questions and not. The Corvette started to say, sir, I'd love to, and then Biden apparently interrupted him and said, you can take thirty seconds, put your foot on the brake, hit it, and it's called launching, which is something electric vehicles do. Is what he's talking about. You stepped your foot on the accelerator all the way down. And her goes, oh,

right, like like he's humoring a kid telling him a story. Until it gets to six or seven grand, then it will say launch, take your foot off the brake. And then right after he said that, he made a car sound that has been described as burr. I can't even do it proper, like what the money machine does. It goes burr. So all right, whatever, Yeah, it's dude's talking about cars. That's I'm

sure that's nothing. And then in another portion of the interview, and I got to tell you what prompted this, because when you hear the answer, you're gonna have questions. So her was talking about the Naval Observatory, of course Georgetown over there the residents of the Vice President, and he said, within the Naval Observatory, you mentioned a couple of workspaces earlier. This is her trying to figure out all the places where Biden, from a business perspective,

may have laid his head. So and as you'll hear with some of the audio, there was a lot more than just the thing in the garage, A crap ton more so. But this is what he's asking about. This is the boring part of it, except he made sure it wasn't because after that question, along that line of questioning where they're just trying to document all the places where he might have done business. According to her, Biden launched into a memory early on in his legal career, right when he was

just a bad lawyer. And in it he talked about a client of his who was twenty three. He worked at a plant of some sort, but basically his gig was to clean. They would shut down the plant and then like a window washer thing with the big you know, the big chimney, right they he would he and others would go in there and literally have to scrub the hydrogen off the side of it. Well, uh, he represented this young man because unfortunately he showed up wearing the wrong pants, specifically jeans.

And why that's important is because, as you know, jeans have metal rivets and he can't have metal in there, and the lawsuit was over. Why did nobody notice or say anything any of that? Which, okay, fine, that sounds like some people see over. But he then in detail explained the injuries to his twenty three year old client, which, all right, guys, you ready to You're ready to be wide awake for the rest of the day. You want that little caffeine kicking the butt that this information

will provide. Because he was wearing jeens, and because of where the middle rivets are, his crotch burst into flames and it burns so hot it burned everything off. Interesting transcript moments. This coupled with the her testimony there in Congress yesterday, which again was you know, it's a congressional hearing, so it's going to be narrative driven. But like it, it was just getting in comfortable uncomfortable at points. I hold one's where's mister pants to his chitt

area? Is Jerry Jerry Nadler? All right, I'll give you a little wet'll slice this. We'll go back to a couple other points. And then, like I said, we got more more audio. But it was the defense that was readily apparent. At any point in your investigation, did do you have any reason to believe the President Biden lied to you? I do address in my report one response the President gave to a question that we opposed to him, that we deem to be not credible. Okay, And this

is an important distinction. And actually this is also this is both a good question and a bad question for Nadler to be broaching. It's from from well, and we'll take it from his perspective. It's a good question from his perspective, because remember, the out for Biden is essentially soinality, right, so, you know, the inability to formulate the motive necessary to commit the

elements of the crime, which you know. Then the bad side of that is it then raises the whole Well, if he can't, if he's too out of it to go to a court hearing, how's he running in the country? Right, So again it was a little more tactical on his part. But yeah, no, no, that's all just weird. So anyway, back to the cause, I'm saving a couple of these little moments. Let's see here. Allegedly, Biden, according to the transcript from her,

on multiple occasions, failed to know what a fax machine was called. Or was, which I don't know. I like, if it's yours eighteen year old kid, and right, and he tell me he doesn't know what a fax machine is. I'll I'll just old banchuckle on that, right, like, ah, okay, and I you know, there's pieces of equipment from you know, nineteen sixties and stuff that I I don't know that I can adequately explain to you. Try to think what that might be. But who

knows, right, you don't know what you don't know. But Joe Biden predates facts machines, right, So that's a little strange. But I forget words too, But I don't know, man, this sounds pretty egregious. Let's see. Also a line of questioning went into the Presidential Daily Briefing. Okay, and so he's talking about his present presidential daily briefing. Biden used the term as a hypothetical describe his routine around the briefing. So this is

how it goes. So her is asking about this, and Biden's going to explain, really what that looks like? Okay, finally sounds like ron point. And he then says, quote, I'd sit with my national security team and say we should follow up on this find out more about whether or not you know who killed. I don't know that I can say this. I mean I can say it, but I just told you a story about a

guy who's private parts self emilated that the President relayed in the transcript. So it's the word you would use for a male chicken, but could also use as a a word for the thing that's self emilated, right if you wanted to be graphic about it. And it's that word robin, which I had to look this up, and you know, the last thing you want to be doing is shoving that word into a search engine, even with the robin attached to it. However, here, you know, this is something I

was not familiar with. It's a nursery rhyme from fifteen hundred. He might be younger than that, I think he. I think maybe he might be. And so he was kind of all right, you know what, Fine, You and I grew up with fables and stories and stuff that was in some cases stuff that is much older than that. Even right kind of makes its way through. So fine he was doing he was doing. He was

doing an analogy or kind of a base generic explanation. So I'm sure it's fine, what is that There was no need to share that you chose, Violelce. I didn't choose violence. I chose I'm assuming you're referring to the dude with the pants well anymore. But I didn't choose violence. Violence was chosen upon me. I just passed it a little down the line. But also, holy crap, good wonders for my being awake this morning, because

I actually I read that though that one this morning. Then there's all I can think of, is all I can think of is the is that Sasha Barrick Cohen movie Bruno? Right, there's this scene in Bruno where his character is like is on like this this the light Jerry Springer light kind of show. Right, So you got the host, the bombastic host. He's running around, he's sticking MIC's in the audience members faces as people are asking questions and reacting in real time, but also with the you know, a producer

infused exuberance and the characters up there. It's a really funny scene. And he has like a little eighteen month two year old black baby, and obviously Bruno and Sashabar and Cohen are are very white, and so he's got this baby with a shirt on that says Gaby right, and in the scene because it's about stirring whoever he's around, he was saying that he traveled through the country of Africa and traded for the baby, traded an iPod for the baby,

and and half the audience is black. They're losing their c and he's just stonefaced and in like, what's his name? And he said that he gave him a traditional African name, and his name is oj And it's just pandemonium in there. So anyway, long story short, Biden thinks Africa as

a country. Yep, that as well. According to the transcript, Biden told her quote, we have a chance to fundamentally change and make different and more secure that part of the world which China's influence is seeking to be profound. Same way in Africa. I mean, we have plenty of people in Africa, but guess what, We're gonna build the first transcontinental railroad across the country, which, by the way, to incorrectly label Africa, it's itself

a country. In the same sentence where you use the term continental or transcontinental, that's a special kind of wild man. And then finally, uh one more and and that was Biden. Although this one, look, this one actually sounds like he's he's joking, And yeah, maybe you could chock some of the other stuff. But if you if you told me, obviously he's making it. He's making kind of a weird joke. Whatever, that'd be

fine. And the same way that I thought it was really funny the face he made of Marjorie Taylor dream right, And I didn't see his animosity. I just thought it was, Oh, it was just a funny moment because she's smiling back too. And I understand it's a bit of a standoff there, But I wonder what's going through his head. Probably ice cream, I don't know. So uh. At one point her said Biden joked with him, said he hopes that when the team searched the Wilmington lake House, they

didn't discover the riscade Jill Biden photos. He says, you left everything in place, right, I hope you didn't find any risque photos of my wife in a bathing suit. You probably did, though she's beautiful, all right, that's fine. So and I and I bring that one up, not because I necessarily see it as problematic. Some people might find it a little

creepy. But this isn't an audio recording of her and Biden, So like you have to add up the totality of how the conference because this is a two day interview they did with him or over the course of two days. So that's a past. But let's look, here's the other stuff and all self immolating male parts aside and other stories. It not a doctor. I just want to be abundantly clear. It sounds to me like it's It's like

it's not one indi visual thing. It is this this totality of things where he's like he doesn't know the facts machine and then he doesn't know what it's called, and it wasn't it was three times, three times wandering into random stories. I don't know. I didn't even I didn't even look it up. Did some dudes literally his pants catch on fire? And that happen? Africa is not a country that one's easy to fact check. Uh, And then what was the uh? The oh and the car noise thing again?

And I don't know, man, I That's where I start seeing things that I recognize, having having dealt with a family member who uh who I watched deteriorate my grandmother and one of the hallmarks of it was stories, right, and and by the way, she wasn't a woman who told a lot of stories. She actually, this is not the grandmother who was the of the family ranch. This is the other side of the family, and in this case is my mom's mom, and saying there was some family mystery there,

like she would never talk about specifically her parents. And I came to find out after she had passed away my mom had passed away for that matter, from another relative that the reason was is my grandmother was a little bit a little bit ashamed because her mom was unmarried and she was living in Chicago and she was hanging out with gangsters. Man she was a party girl all that. So, like she didn't tell stories except during that time she would tell

stories, and some of them easily were provably not true. And it's not that they were not true necessarily, they were just told in a way where it was like even even my brain at that time, where I was just into adulthood barely was like, Okay, I know that's not how it happened, but she looks so happy telling it. And then it was just it was just a polar shifting attitude so I don't know make of that what you

will. Obviously there's a whole lot more there, but I wanted to give you a little flavor of some of the things that stuck out to me. All right eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four Coming up on the show, Oh we got we got lawyers, or not really, we got fake lawyers. We got floridamand doing his thing, and so much more. We'll get to it. Coming up on the CaCO Day Radio program, Eco Day Radio program, And let's do this thing. Florida Men, Florida

Man. Is something in the wanderty error's hand that makes you do all that crazy crap. It's like the state is wanna be dumb ass trapped. Nowhere else has the Florida Man. It is almost like as the Weird Factor climbs to find out it have it in Florida. Every time Florida Man, Florida Man. If anyone can cheer me, if you know you can to find life be crazy, but of course, but it's not. It's fat crap crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna find him? They're so used

to it, they don't find him. Hooray for Florida. Man, all right, I'm gonna operate under the assumption that this is not the second Coming of Christ but with a fiesta fetish. This thing is weird. Man, A man adorned in a crown of thorns and carrying a pinata. I don't know why that visual gets me. I mean, I had, you would have a billion questions, although you would likely see this person and not want

to get within shouting distance to ask them. But unfortunately, when you're just a seventy four year old woman minding your minding your own business, and his lunatic walks up to you, it's probably gonna end up in the news because, according to authorities, while wearing the crown of thorns and carrying a pinata, he reportedly menaced an elderly woman as she walked to work. The suspect denied accosting the victim, claimed he was only singing and dancing his Leprechaun song

in an effort to entertain the woman coming up in one hour. So yesterday we chatted with the Senator Ted budd right, and I know, obviously the her hearing the back and forth over I guess now the Biden administration says they're going to send three hundred million dollars worth of weapons to Ukraine since they're not getting movement on some of the other stuff that they wanted. And like, those are all big issues, but immigration issue both is it exists now.

The horrible politicalization of what's going on here just with the base lies. Like one minute, you're you're holding a press conference first day and you're like, I'm doing ninety some things that are not going to be around anymore on this front. You send out me Orchis to do interviews talking about all of these border security things that that Trump had implemented, and even some that predated Trump, I might add, the Biden administration is like, noah, we're gonna

get rid of those. And then when what is already a bonfire starts spinning wildly out of control, it starts galvanizing people who may have been may have not cared about the issue very much or even been in the camp, mostly probably due to where they live nowhere near the border. That the problem itself is just one trying to be ginda by Republicans. And obviously you saw what happened when you had giant swaths of what is the term they're using now newcomers.

Newcomers, change that language. Baby, go to all of these blue cities, and then the absolute meltdown you saw from like Mayor Adams and New York and Bowser in DC and many others, the Chicago and not just they also the freak out of the Chicago people. In these deep ninetieth percentile blue districts, all of a sudden, people start kring and you're gonna run around and be like, oh, we didn't do not we didn't touch we didn't touch the vase. The last guy on his way out, he kicked the

table. Really, I don't know about all that, and people aren't buying that, not if you look at the polling, and that is even among Democrats, by the way, it's not quite fifty percent, but it's in like the high forties. Last one I saw. But they were attempting to go who do you think is most responsible for the current situation? So that's you know, that's not what you want. And if you don't think this Haiti thing has the potential to send this thing into the stratosphere, that's why

I'm talking about Haiti. Somebody wrote me an email yesterday bitching about the talking about the Haiti stuff or was it no, yes, heir the day before whatever talking about the Haiti stuff. And I think I mentioned it on the

show. Why you talk about this? But cuz it's not quite ninety miles from the Keys right looking at you, Havana, but it's it's it's close, right close to the Dominican Republic. And just for a visual in your head, the Dominican Republic and Haiti share the Isle of Hispaniola and it sits obviously south of the Bahamas, Turks and Caicos all that, so there is more distance there. But we have already seen large swaths of people from Haiti

came in. And then, if you remember, Biden did this thing with the return flights, and I was amazed they did it, but also the way that they did it. We talked about it. They all right because they'd crossed through the southern border and they're like, all right, everyone, get on this plane. We're going to Florida. And they put them on the plane to go to Florida. And I don't know at what point,

glancing out the window it started to click. I think it would probably have to be I'm assuming the flight path put them out probably out you know, out into the Gulf of Mexico. They're off, you know, down by Houston or whatever. I try to remember where it took off from where they had all the Haitian folks for the plane. But and then you know, they're just waiting to see the you know, the pant and handle of Florida. And then all of a sudden you're like, wait, what is that?

What's that? What's that big island we just flew over? And the don's on them that that's Cuba. And then if you have a reasonable understanding of the layout there, you know that you're on your way back to uh Haiti. And that's what we did. And then seemingly it was within that

carve out. But and that did stem numbers. Actually, the actually had an impact because word gets around that even if you go through the process of sneaking Invya, Nicaragua or wherever and making your way north eventually in New Mexico and then to the border and across that, it will even though you may travel with people who will be just handed a slip of paper and turned into

the interior, you're probably going back. Well, now, if you don't think that one the Biden administration's going to be like, well, we're not We're not sending Haitians back. Look what's going on because of the turmoil down there. You're nuts. Their problem is they have to they can't do it publicly, which they would almost do if they thought they were winning the issue, right they'd be like, what, we can't turn away these folks.

There's a warlord running around named Barbecue. Did you know that? Did you know the dude who's kind of the top he you know, the top revolutionary in all of this is his nickname is Barbecue. And we'll get into why. There's some theories, but there's also this crazy debate going on over cannibalism video. I don't know if you saw this, maybe not the video, you know, I probably don't want to watch that, but it's it's really weird the setting of the narrative that's going on right now, but the end

result. And the Minican Republic knows checks you what they're doing right now. You know they already you know, they already post people up on that border between the two countries. But that's on steroids right now. And look, I understand if you're somebody in Haiti who's just trying to do what you're trying to do, and it's your govern is essentially a criminal organization. And then

your your barrier, your neighborhood. And like I said, we can call them barrios in Haiti, but your neighborhood and others are inundated with individual little sects of gangs that control them. And you live in what are described as shanty towns. And that's being generous. I understand. I understand why you

want to get the hell out of there. And it is that motivation that overcomes the objection that may have existed, where it will be all for not if I go through and try to enter into the end of the country,

because now you justify you. I'll take my chances and instead of turning myself in or being in a position, I'll be much more secretive, or I'll get in the Dominican or I'll get on a floating refrigerator attached to barrels, which was an actvictual thing that somebody used to come from Haiti or excuse me, from Cuba to Florida many years ago, like the blue barrels, and it was it was like a part of it was like a chess freezer or

something. It was crazy and you just like you did ninety miles of that. So this is Look, all of this ties together, all of this, all of this is going to be interconnected. And so as I'm sitting there thinking that, and we're talking to the senator yesterday. Sorry I got off on a Joe Biden, so I'm calling tangents now. Oh he went on another Biden. We'll see if that works. And as as as I was asking Bud because here's the position of many of the the folks who this

their core folks, this is immigration. They want Republicans to roll the shutdown dice. And the shutdown dice obviously is if you don't give us these and then you know, whatever that list is border protections is part of our budgeting process, then no doubt there's gonna be no budget. And then you go into the government shut down and I guess if you want a theater it you

go and you start blocking off memorials. They're standing in the middle of open public spaces, right because somehow you need staff for that, and you various agencies do things, arguably not with the best intentions, but to put on

exhibition the pain and your pain. You saw it during that government shut down under Obama with the way that the folks up there on the Blue Rich Park decided to handle closures and what they were gonna do right where they decided to really focus those cuts in the ways that would be the most visible, rather than saying, all right, here's what we do have to work with because it's already allocated, and here's how we can make it as least invasive for

people. No, it was clearly done, in my opinion, to provide the maximum visual problems, you know, in the maximum possibility of problems that a traveler who's just out for a drive or a weekend, or maybe they're running the whole Blue Ridge as part of a vacation thing they're doing. They wanted those to be as visible as possible, and you saw that with the

list that they shut down. And Republicans feel that they lose that every time, even though they don't in my opinion, cave and they're fighting the media on that stuff. But you never been in a better position, the GOP has never been in a better position to accomplish two things, and times fading on one of them. One is the expansion of vouchers or school choice, and they should have they should have been leaning into this more so even and

harder. You know, right as things were reopening with COVID. That should have been job number one, and there have and there has been some movement. And number two the border issue, well, I want to know specifically what they're going to do and what needs to be done. And you know, at the federal level would be one thing, but also with the law enforcement around the country. So I was having a conversation yesterday with Sheriff Page

from Rockingham County. Obviously they you know, they have issues like every other county, they have unique issues to Rockingham if you live in Eden, you know. And I'm just like, all right, so what do you want as local law and for it? So I'm gonna have him come on and tell you because we were asking but about it, and he had a whole

list of stuff, but I just bare bones. If you're a local member of if you're the sheriff of a county, you're the chief law enforcement officer of a particular place, what do you need to be able to accomplish what you need to do. So we'll chat with him coming up at eight oh five and frankly, uh, North Carolina lawmakers, well at least Republican lawmakers, but all of them, they're gonna need to do this. And if

you don't, if you don't do it, you're acquiescing to Biden. And let him come out and say this is your fault and now you're shutting the government down and you're horrible and grandma's are going to be in the streets dying and stuff whatever. Let him. Let him run that canard and then just keep showing the videos and with what's about to happen with Haiti and I uh, it's clearly something's going to happen on the refuge front. And when this

thing transitions to refugee, everything changes. So yeah, we'll get into that

discussion and I'll give you a little little roundup on barbecue. Okay, do see you understand that in the video because there's some debate, but it feels like six and one half a dozen of the other when you hear what I had to say, So seven to twenty settle in that update next Cacoday radio program, We're going to learn a new term here that I just learned moments ago, and it's gonna be a doozy, but already, because we're so good at what we do, I have also figured out how to save schools

billions, maybe trillions. If everybody jumps on board, I'll explain. Coming up, we're talking about Haiti and barbecue, and I'll give you a little more background there. I was just looking at this though, man being in

the right place at the right time. Let's see law enforcement in Wake County with a rather interesting incident Tuesday afternoon, after they receive reports that people were out on the road side of the road and literally it was like you know that they you know that, remember that booth back in the day you'd go in and all the dollar bills would be flying around. You got to try to grab them. Well, get a little breeze, and money's flying flying

around. And they found out it was the result of a safe that was lying by the side of the road. I don't know if they thought it fell off of something, I guess, but that would have to be the theory, because it ended up opening and money it was full of money and was spilling out of there and so and by the time law enforcement did awry, I've they say that there was still a lot of money in the safe. They were there to prevent people from stealing it. It was blowing around.

Eventually, Wake County Sheriff's Office came and took the safe into custody, and now they're looking for the they're looking for the owners. So it doesn't say here if like how much because I guess that maybe they obviously they don't know how much was supposed to be in there, but uh it, it will be interesting right there. Ross, This wasn't your lanmdbow for the kids fund? Was it? Well, side of the road, you might might have make a call. Did did they find my safe? That? Oh?

I'm sorry? Yeah, Ross was editing something. Well they found us safe? Yeah, and that was it was all just listen, okay. Yeah. Was it like a like a secured box with like a lock on the front. Yeah, but it looks like it had fallen off of something. But I'm just trying to see if that somebody said, is that what it? Yeah, it's a small all it's a small metallic box that had like a lock in the front, a locking Mex's Is it that one? Huh d? That's my favorite safe? Oh? What's your Wow? How

many safe do you save? Passion if you say us have safes inside of a larger safe, right, they're like rushing the nesting dolls. Yet yeah, they're nesting saves, Like yeah, yeah. So it's like when you want to punk somebody for a gift and you do the thing where you get a like nine levels of boxes and insides a blow pop or something, right, You're like, ha ha, you thought you were getting something good.

He does that with safes to frustrate burglars. Can you imagine being the Ocean's eleven team, right, I guess it would be Oceans twelve really, and you break into the Haze compound because you heard that there's a big ass safe in there, and then every time you open that one with your your stethoscope,

there's just another safe inside. This is sunk cost fallacy right here, because in the mind kind of me, I'm like, you know what if this bastard had a big safe and then he put a little safe inside the big safe, I now believe whatever's inside the next safe is going to be more valuable than I had ever imagined. So do you remember where you dropped your safe? Remember specifically where that Yeah it was not it was only a roadway, No, no, No, I established. I did established.

I mentioned that it was along the road. Well, yeah, there you go. So I don't want to I don't want to give away too much information because that somebody else could claim it. It's their safe. Dal. It's like when you asked me where it's going to have our Valentine's Day lunch. When I'm telling you that, I just assumed you would make something up

anyway. So yeah, no, but uh, okay, you're because already gave him the description of the safe and they're going to tell him where what Yeah, come on, yeah, and it being your favorite safe, I understand. So anyway, so apparently, uh, yesterday, yesterday afternoon, Ross was driving around Nightdale Boulevard and March Creek Road. That's where you were right night. Yeah, so yeah, I just go I just walk in there and claim it. In fact, you don't even they're very busy the

Sheriff's office. You don't even need to talk to anyone. Just roll in there, man. Hopefully the evidence room is like where the where the New Orleans one, walk in, taking the in or eat whatever you want. So all right, well, I'm glad we solved that mystery. There. Back to barbecue. All right, So there's two things. One this barbecue dude who for all practical purposes, following the announcement of Prime Minister Ariel Henry to step down under an agreement. And by the way, the agreement only

is that if he steps down, the violence will will pause. And the violence is awful, awful stuff. The question, though, is is its some of the videos emerge? Is it awful stuff go going on right now? Is it people trying to create a false narrative? And you know, most people don't have an independent connection with Haiti, so getting to the bottom

of the stuff can be difficult. And it's clearly also being approached in a variety of different ways where it seems that the reporting has a definitive agenda. My two cents, whether it is the sitting prime minister and the corruption that is that government that's allowed the Clinton family to nest up in the country's natural resources for years, they're just as problematic to the day to day ability of the Haitian people to achieve anything, achieve something, achieve prosperity or at least

a modicum of prosperity. Right, A little goes a long way when you've been living in the environment that has been Haiti for years because you don't have a government you can turn to and the gang's there or all of this stuff. So this guy, who again goes by the nickname Barbecue, and then let me explain the nickname, by the way, because this will show you the difference in reporting. People in Haiti will tell you that the reason they

call this dude Barbecue is he burns his enemies alive. However, one white nighting reporter who is all like, hey, this is my chay ga Era is like, no, no, and they call him Barbecue because he likes barbecue, big fan of the pulled pork or something. Where do they get that information from Barbecue? The reporter, when pressed as to why that was the assert or that was the explanation for the name, said that the information

came from Barbecue. Yeah, as as this dude's trying to weasel his way into running an entire country and galvanized people's hatred and distrust of government, who may be at least ambivalent about this, Yeah, it's probably a better thing from a pr standpoint, but I believe it might be the other thing. And the reason is is he's a former law enforcement officer well corrupt. How corrupt he, according to reports in twenty and eighteen, was not getting people

paying him his bride money that he wanted. And you know, there were some problems in a particular neighborhood called the Saline neighborhood. And to send a message for the uncooperative folks, it said that he planned and carried out the massacre of seventy one people. Gangs remove victims, including children, from their homes and their parents, and then the parents. And this is rough stuff, but you need to know because this guy might be running a country today.

Who knows. He had his minions drag families out of their houses and then they would take the children and execute the children in front of the parents, including and I wish I was making this up. And by the way, this is based on a sanctioning that the US government chose to do after Treasury, Department of State, and you know, some three letter agencies I suspect determined that this happened. So they went financially trying to you know,

freeze any assets this guy may have control of. And he would execute the kids, either by setting them on fire or feeding them to animals, and then kill the parents, just so we're clear. So what name do you think Do you think that you think he's a fan of barbecue, you know, a short rib or something, or do you think it's this because I feel like it might be this. And then a video emerged and it was claimed to be a video showing cannibalism. This is really it's really hard to

track this down. The consensus seems to be the videos real. Okay, that's horrible. It looks modern, like it could have been done yesterday. However, there are two democrat I call him propagandists on Twitter who with no sourcing and I've looked, are claiming the video is actually from two years ago, so it's you know, it's a lie to say it's from now. It's from two years ago. And you know, let me ask you this, how many of you, over the course of two years of your life

have made a major change. So you know, maybe instead of eating his enemies to strike fear and not just him the video in this case seems to be one of the undergangs doing it, but he's not in the video. But I like, they're not all pescatarians now, if that's a thing, because they're not doing it for sustenance, they're doing it to strike terror. So yeah, absolutely, man, absolutely go ahead, and you go with the he likes, although I heard he likes mustard based sauce instead of vinegar

based. So so that's haiti and a nutshell. And if you don't think that becomes part of the immigration discussion real quick, Well, I don't know what I can do for you. I can give you weather with raced Agic to do that. Sure, Hey, man, I have a quit one of my listeners sending a quiz for you. Okay, we weather quiz. One question. Do you know what happened thirty one years ago today in North Carolina weather history, superstorm of ninety three thirty inches of snow and rocky mountainboarding

to our our listener here. Yeah, yeah, that's the you know, that's really the reminder that it's you know, it can happen in the middle part of March right in some spots, especially a little bit dide. You're talking. You're talking about a kid who had snow on his birthday in late math every year. Well bright, I mean, you know, different climate, but well so some out there that that's bordering on ridiculous. Man.

Well, it's you know, different climate, and you know, I think the pattern of the overall to ten day for next week is actually temperatures that are going to go down below average. So we are going to get another chillier shot in here. If you've kind of planted anything, or I've got some of the tender vegetation as they speak of, that might want to think about, think about what you would do. Now, let's put it in

perspective. First, the average high low sixties. The average lows are in the upper thirties or above that for a few days like today and tomorrow, and we're going to be well above it today and tomorrow upper seventies today, near eighty tomorrow for somemer lots of sunshine, and then Friday we'll see a slight chance of shower still upper seventies to near eighty, and those showers and utter showers will end Friday night, sending us up for a mild weekend,

great looking weekend, low to mid seventies. It's next week, we'll start to turn slowly cooler into the mid fifties by Tuesday, and it's Tuesday night we'll get a little colder too, So I think we'll start getting some colder are end, then milder than another cold shot coming in the rest of the month. Looks kind of up and down in terms of temperature. Some don't see any extreme warmth, but maybe some days where we are below average and

twenties at night. So we'll have to start thinking about that. For you know, all the plants has already start to come out and something that may have planted itself. Okay, all right, well, yeah, I appreciate it, sir. I'm just hoping for the thirty inches of snow, but I guess and don't see it. Maybe the hill's a little putting thirty inches. Now you come on and say that it is so April's not that far away. Think about it. We'll talk it's not okay, Yeah, all

right, there you go, Race agent from the Weather Channel. All right, back in just a few hang on phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven, although I hold on to that number because we had a short segment here and then we're gonna chat with Sam Page, the Sheriff of Moroccanham County. Here's all that I want to do, and here's what you should take from this activity. Ready, I want to know. I'm just done screwing around with all this, right, and it's why I asked the senator

yesterday what are some priorities? And I like the priorities that he had there. But the trick is Republicans have to be in a position to say, look, here is the minimum necessary. These are the unbendable things that have to happen, or it's governmental malpractice what we're doing even even funding anything having

to do with immigration. If the first thing we're not going to do is enforce the security apparatus, you know, the the bubble, the ring there, and then you can have all the discussions you want about what's the appropriate number of legal immigrants, even discussions about refugees things, right, talking about Haiti down there, right, you can't just ignore that. You got to figure out how to address it. And then you can have a debate over

should we have refugee carve outs, how do you vet them? All of the same stuff that you know, discussions they had around Syria and all that, But you have to have the apparatus has to be there, or none of the rest matters. But recognize also that you're never going to you're never going to get you know, Democrats to yield on. All right, we need money to round everybody up and depositive next week to wherever. Right,

So what's the bare minimum? So I want to ask the sheriff here, because the bare minimum of the federal level, but also the bare minimum on how it impacts public safety and so many other things. In other you know, parts of the country that are not under the Fed's control, that's important too. And Rockingham County, especially being a rural county, they have they have pretty unique issues because they have a lot of people who may be among

these groups who seek out agricultural work. So as a sheriff, how do you deal with that? How do you keep people safe? I want to know what his checkboxes are. I want to know what our lawmaker's checkboxes are. And then they need to figure out a red line. Okay, and they don't need people like Senator Slenderman in there going oh no, this is a great deal. You all are dumb, which is a paraphrase but pretty close to basically what he said. No, no, no, unacceptable.

And if that means you got to go bombard Tillis's office with phone calls and stuff like that, then so be it. If you're moved, but damn it, know what the specific things are. And then the specific caveat is, now, how do you apply pressure because if they're not going to do it, then I don't know what you're doing for any of this stuff. And then you know, even if moonbats want to be participatory and then go back to, you know, ruining other aspects of society, fine, just

you know, drag people over if you have to. The interest is there, the polling is there of concern from people of all political stripes, do something about it. CaCO Day Radio Program, Thanks, thanks for hanging out here on our Wednesday. All right, I'm gonna speed I'm gonna speed set this up because I did a longer explanation just a last segment. So basically, it's like d days that coming up there in DC. They got a week, week and a half whatever, and the Republicans are battling with do

you want to roll the dice on shutdown or not? And it appears that they're going with the or not with just the way that the House Speaker's handling this. But how does what does that do for the immigration stuff? And I don't care if Biden say he's gonna do stuff on his own at this moment, in this time, they I feel like lawmakers who are pro we

better do something, regardless of political affiliation. I think that they're going to have the best case for public support, even with the standard fear mongering that happens. And so put the ball back in the court of your political opponents and say you don't want to do anything, then we'll let the people think, you know, evaluate what they think of that. And there are needs at the federal level. That's why we'd asked the Senator about it yesterday.

But this is a problem that impacts all aspects of your life if not done properly, and that responsibility then falls to local law enforcement, the head of which for most counties in America is, of course, the county sheriff, and Sam Page is Rockingham Counties Sheriff. Sam, how are you doing this morning? Doing good? All right, let's let's get into this. You

and I have obviously chatted about this immigration issue. You are one of the sheriffs who goes to the Washington d C. Radio row up there, and I need to know from a sheriff's stamp, all right, So let's do this before we get to solutions. Tell me what a sheriff in a rural county in North Carolina where people say this ain't this ain't your problem. This is you know, this is a border issue. Is a federal issue? Do you three or disagree with that? And what does it look like from

what you're dealing with this standpoint? Well, I can tell you with fourteen years of working on this conversation with unsecure borders and trying to work towards secure borders and dealing with Congress, I would say that if you don't want to support, if you don't want to do border security, then you're going against

public safety. It's been politicized and our Congress, our disadministration, and we've got secure boarders because everything comes to the boarders comes to North Carolina and across the country. And then we as sheriff and law enforcement officials officers, we have to deal with those issues such as the increasing matt of fental coming in that's taking what one hundred thousand lives last year. I mean that affects us

in North Carolina. Eleven people a day or estimated die to defend will cause me and that's just with Centinel, and that's I mean talking about the other crime issues. So what is let's talk just rocking him because I think people in their head can sit there because the argument I see is why you know some had no offense to you, but you know, you get people on Twitter, they go, ah, you know, some yokel sheriff in the

middle of nowhere, nowhere near the border. Why does he care? And I will in Rockingham County, what does your office deal with that you can trace back to this issue? Just give me a snapshot of what your deputies are dealing with on this issue. Well, I don't have the current number of how many persons that have been crimly charged that are illegal aliens that have arrested in our community and they ended up in our jail system, but I

can tell you this. Think about this in ten between ten twenty twenty one when President Biden came in. Between that period, we were averaging about forty eight percent of the people that were arrested that were determined to be illegally in the country. The Independent of Jails had detainers the issue to hold those persons to turn over to Ice, which we do on our detainers right now it's

about one or two percent. So basically persons that are getting arrested, they're ended up in their communities that are coming into our jail thorty in our country. Those persons were posting body being released back out in the communities because they're

not issued to detainers on them. This is and this is, this is yeah, and this is this is a really important point that you're making because we people are familiar with the detainer battle as we've seen it, and we saw it a play out in this case in Georgia, in Athens as well, because the suspect there had been arrested in New York and I think arrested in Georgia also, UH. And in New York they slipped the detainer because they didn't honor them. But this is not that anymore because under Trump they

were issuing them, is what you're saying. Now, you don't even have to ignore them because they're not putting the damn things up right right. We started, we were the first in twenty twenty, We were the first agency in North Carolina to UH to be involved in that Warrant Service Officer program bring

that program in North Carolina. We were the first agency and now and that was about a maximum about about thirty so, but what has happened is that's how that's how the federal government and currently that's how Alexandra New York is in his policies bypassed some law enforcement. We're trying to honor detainers to have persons interface with ice to be removed from our country to protect our communities locally and

our country. They're not issue detainers, so that person have released back down the community when they postponed and they had the opportune to reoffend against the immigrant population and American citizens. What North Carolina especially on this issue, going back a number of years ago, one of your colleagues, well, one of your friends, actually i've seen you two together, the a sheriff a little

further down in the triad. There was they were going to make an example out of him, right, So Judge, the DOJ went after Terry. It was crazy, man. Did that have a chilling effect on other sheriffs? I mean, well, I supported Sheriff Johnson, and basically the DJ went after Sheriff Johnson over about a four or five year period and he had to go through a lot of issues. But in the day, it was sound to be not racially profiling and he was doing his job as he's supposed

to an examlement in the courts. Yeah, but the example, but part of the example, not just that, but it was they put on trial the whole old thing, right, the detainer. Yeah, you put all of that on trial during that And you know that's in my mind, that's just that's Holder, because it was Holder at the time, right, wanted to send a cold or the president Malin Yesser, Yes, and wanting to send a message like you don't even want to get into this, just don't

honor detainers and we'll leave you alone. And that's insane to me. So that's that's the look of it. I want to know from you, and I'm going to say, you're on a budget, okay, sheriff, Right, you can't have everything you want, but you got to go in and you got to get the very basics. Specifically, what do you, as the head of somebody in charge of protecting public safety for one of the one hundred counties here, what does the government need to do that will enable you

to provide better public safety for your citizenry? If I can may say this. When President Biden came in, he ended the agreements and the cooperation agreements with local law enforcement. What we had was a force multiplier of local, state and federal agencies working together to protect America and protect our communities locally. That those agreements went away, and so now we don't have that support from

the policy makers in Washington pushing down. We do work with our with our federal representatives, and we do work with our state representation, but it's not the relationship we had under President Trump. President Trump supported law enforcement, he

supported sheriffs, he supported chiefs, he supported our military. It was about protecting America, and American people started starting out our borders and I remember some from President Reagan said that the country without borders, it's not a country.

Well, that's where we were coming because of this administration and the policies, the failing policy that are intended to fail, and you figure out what the endgame is, what the end thing situation is to allow for a mass flow of persons that are illegal coming into a country, brought in across and also

the federal government are facilitating the movement of these people. The NGOs and non government organizations are making millions of dollars on housing on a company minors and assisting in the movement of people around the country, which is going to affect demographics, the electoral demographics in Congress. It's going to affect a lot of things. But also here's another thing, not only public safety book, how much

is the cost in America? Estimated over one hundred and fifty billion dollars a year it costs to handle and build the process with persons that are illegally in our country. In North Carolina it's three point one four bion dollars according to Fair So it is a big cost factory. And then we have our own homeless, our veterans and needs service, our children needs service, tools that

need our financial support. There are a lot of areas in America that we need to be doing things for the American people, but instead we're supporting another effort to provide for a mass migration to our country. I mean, what I worry about, Casey, what I worry about is this. We had

nine to eleven. It took nineteen terrorists to take down three thousand lives of American precious lives of American citizens, but estimated what over a million God always have come into our country who immigration and border security do not even know who they are that have come into our country, and I worry about not just just persons coming to our country, a person coming to our country to have the intent to do us harm. And I'm worried about the next nine to

eleven across this country. What I was going to ask, how many within the North Carolina delegation of lawmakers, so you know, a House and Senate obviously, how many how many folks have you talked to during because you know, you go to Washington, you do these things, and where are their heads at? Do you think that there's a chance that the GOP will be willing to say, look, this issue is important enough, here's what we need to do, and if we don't do it, then I'm sorry,

then we're not going to get a budget passed. Are we there? And what's what are you hearing? I think we're there, But like I told you before, fourteen years I've been working this immigration and border security project myself and communicate with sheriffs across North Carolina and working with sheriffs across the country.

You're talking about Congress. I think there are many in Congress that don't have the will or desire to do their job, which is to stand up and protect America and if it means, if it means we have to we have to go towards shut down. Uh, we already have a pilot. We already have a bill, House Bill HR two, which is the most well, it's one of the strongest border security bills that has come to pass. And then you had the Senate Lane for bill, which was a faving bill.

It did not end the catch and release and had a lot of other problems with it. But they're not even entertaining HR two. Why would anybody in Congress, I don't care what your party is, Why would you not support a bill that was there that had all the areas covered which would help to protect American the American people. That's a question you need to ask your

senators. Get on the phone and call your senators and your House members and ask them why are they not supporting House Built too, which was a good deal, a strong bill to protect American American people. Do you think? Let me ask you this. Joe Biden said that they may quote do something whatever the heck that means. Are there things? Because look, I agree with you in the sense that I feel much more comfortable with legislation and you

know, the president's signing than executive orders. Would it be adequate in your mind if Biden was to say, look, while we work on this, rather than shut down, let's go ahead and we'll just do We'll start doing all the stuff that we were doing. That's not even Casey. You're you're

hitting the point. The present has the power and the authority. If I just say this, a few things real quick to use to use expediity removal for illegal border crosses that are set forth in the law, to use uh, to use available detention beds instead of releasing persons catching release back out of the communities, reinstate remain in Mexico policies such as under President Trump. Uh, they stop. Uh, let's see stop issuing illegal aliens work permits.

You know, look at how our parole system is for for dealing with immigration stuff and how it's being abused. Our asylum program has been used. Uh. I mean those are just a few things. Oh, here's another one. We need to continue to start back cooperating with local, state and federal law enforcement working together starting from Washington. Dam You know I said we lost we lost that cooperation with the policy makers in Washington under this administration and al

Allehandra New Yorkers has failed the American peace people. And the president has the power right now, without any other legislation, has the power to flip the script and go back on some of these programs that were actually working to protect America. And I need mentioned the border barriers. There was it three hundred million dollars worth of a border barrier fishing. I've been to the border and

took photos where it's just staked. They're just rusty, right right, yeah, And these barriers are does not not not to just stop some but to slow the flow of people coming across bords such as just like the rear grundy them and they're real in those areas where they put up the barbed wire and

the constium wire to slow persons from trying to come into the country. Which, by the way, a judge just held the stay on Texas, so they because they're currently Texas, is forbidden by this federal judge of continuing to do that, although they kind of didn't stop much, but the courts have now said that they're going to hold that until they can actually have a bigger hearing. So that's on pause. Even that small little thing that was going

on is on pause right now. You know. See, I never thought I see a time in my career I've worked a law enforcement more than forty years. Forty years. I never thought I see a president that would work against a state which has a right under the constitution to protect themselves from an invasion. And they're not They're not in uniform. Is why I was told that they can't by that judge. So that's that's just insane to me. No, honestly, can you imagine if the Chinese army shows up here but

they're in casual address. I mean, what does that even mean. It's like, is it an invasion a problem or not? The invasion may be a strong word, but it may not be too strong for this. Well, if you read the Constitution under I think under Session what one three and four, I think it pretty much says what the president can do and the rights of the state and the rights of the government and responsibilities to protect America or protect the states. And I think it's I think our constitution has been

ignored. I think the people in a in a state are being ignored. I think people in our culture, country, meaning ignored, and public safety is the first responsibility of government, and somewhere in our Congress and somewhere in our in this administration, have forgotten that responsibility. Real quick, you just got this email and then we'll We've got just about a minute and a half. Sure, he goes, Hold on, he goes, talk about cutting

off your nose despite your face. The sheriff of a rural, agricultural based county doesn't like immigrants. You can't make this stuff up again. This is that conflation of immigrants. Do you do you sheriff and folks in Rockingham County, do you have a problem with people who are immigrants? Is that the beef? You know? You know, that's that's a that's that's a sad commentary. My position is this a support legal immigration. Our country is a

country of immigrants. But the rule of law is the rule of law, and that's where our elected officials in Congress have the responsibility to make sure that our administration is doing their duties on you know, what was I want to take it back to the state level. When was the last time you had attorney generals taking the issue up with the president of not doing his duties? Well, I mean in Congress, you know, not here, not here the Ken Paxton. I guess maybe in Texas. Yeah, exactly, a

few, a few. But one thing about it is I've been down to Texas. I've been along the rid of Grandy and one thing can I tell you this, Texas is protecting America. The troopers, the DPS, the National Guard, and the National Guards that are cooperating across the country or going down there, they're helping to protect America. It's a sad it's a sad commentary that are unpleasandent doesn't doesn't recognize that, choose to recognize that and choose

to support the effort to protect our country. Sure, Sam Page Rockingham, can I got a role, sir, But like you, I appreciated man. Yeah, Pete, And you know what, reach out to the delegation. Let him know this is a play. That's what I was gonna say. Call your congressman, call you and tell them how they need to hear from you. When I tell you, I love my country, i love my state, and I'm going to continue to do what I do is to share to protect my community and the services. Cami, I gotta I gotta

roll, but I appreciate the time. We'll be back here we go our FK Junior. Independent presidential candidate r FK Junior talked about his short list for VP nomination in an interview with The New York Times. Kennedy said that quote, let me uh uh, all right, so this is quote, these are the people at the top of his list, and uh he said, it's a very short list. And two of the names at the top are

Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers or Jesse Ventura, obviously a wrestler. Governor, right, So my question to you, would you rather have Aaron Rodgers or Jesse Ventura? Where's your head at if you had to pick between those two, because apparently they're they're high up. There a few other names real quick. Uh, let's see. Kennedy has also gauged interest about Tulsi Gabbard, Rand Paul Andrew Yang. And I think that's it, all right, So let's go at the top two ross your team, Rogers or Jesse Ventura. I

think I'd have to go, uh, Jesse the body. I'm I'm almost I'm almost with you if but forced because here's the problem. Aaron Rodgers played for the Packers, so inherently, I've I've got that thing, uh so that you know that that pushes me to Jesse. The difference is I lived under Jesse Ventura when I moved to Minnesota. He was the governor, and I could tell you Jesse Ventura stories from media events like we had. I told you about the Fishing Opener was is a big is a big event put

on by the Governor's office in Minnesota. It's obviously it's a huge, huge industry there, and so they gather media from all over, like fifty of us and we picked. They pick a lake in Minnesota, and the governor and some other folks go up in sponsors and it's all about, hey, here we are. It's the Fishing Opener, which is in May and and when I say open, it's for like Walleye, uh, Northern Pike, a couple of other things. So it's but it's a big deal and it's

like it's always interesting. I've been to it under Republican Governor Tim Polenni most of the time, but I did do a couple of Ventura ones and he he escaped one of them, and nobody if you go back and look at the archives during the fishing opener, which was on Rainy Lake, which is right up in the Canadian border by international falls. They lost the governor. The whole thing was wild because at first he showed up for boat launch and

the wearing like one of those military neapreme seal suits. This from a man who accepts the nomination with a feather boa when his cubernatorial victory, I should say, the offense the victory with a feather boa on the steps of the

state capitol. So he was decked out like it's, you know, a command bo and then everyone goes out to fish, and then everyone's supposed to come back and they have like, you know, some silly little awards, but they have some different stuff, and he he didn't come back and nobody could find him. And this was a man who issued press release of press credentials that said media jackals on us. I'll have him one in a box somewhere. And it was like this rainbow coyote. It was the weirdest looking

thing and it didn't matter whether what enttity you were from. So he was kind of one of the og media haters there. But also he was such an angry dude, so that weighs in my mind, but I think it would be more entertained than Aaron Rodgers. So yeah, you know what I'm gonna go with, Ben. Can we swap Ventur out for like Rick Flair or something? Though? Who what press look? Out of scil of one to ten, How excited are you to watch a Kamala Harris press conference?

Is it a negative number for most most people? How excited would you be able to watch the real life version of President Camacho from Idiocracy? You'd you'd be setting three alarms, right, you know what to dare miss it? So that's the thing that's out there. Just I'd see where your head's at on that is that May and Minnesota so ice fishing. There were some incidents.

My other favorite one is we were all because the governor sometimes stays at the same lodge we're all at and we were in Bedet on Lake of the Woods. He did and he apparently got so hammered on tang Ray. He was down. He was at the end of the hallway with the whole hallway the rooms are all mediate people and he's screaming through the door at his staff at five in the morning, which is you know, because the launch is like five thirty or whatever. He's screaming at his staff that he drank all

that tanger. The bottles are outside the damn door, and he's drunk to do it. By the way, where they found him. He runted a houseboat, went to the Canadian side of Rainy Lake and hid for days. They were literally writing stories like what do we do? Like it was a constitutional crisis, almost just nuts. But it is that level of entertainment that has not been within the VP's office for quite some time, so I might be good there. Oh. Also, I said we were going to learn

a term. All right. I just learned this term this morning. I know that they've been jacking with commencement ceremonies. We had nothing to do. But this is a twist. School districts in the US and Canada are in some instances moving towards what is now called inclusive commencement ceremonies. So what the heck is that this is not the one where they do different ceremonies for different races, like a couple of universities said they were going to do, and

people are like, is this nineteen sixty what's happening? No, the way it works is this. And in Canada, actually Ottawa, which is one of the largest school districts in the country, Ottawa just decided to do this. So the way it works is this, if you have a graduation, which when I was a kid back in my day, we had one in eighth grade, and then you have one in high school. Right now, there's like the amount of graduation ceremonies parents tell me about. I'm like,

why is your fourth grader having a graduation? So what is going on? But whatever, there's more of them. So, but those graduations tend to be kids who are graduating. You know where this is going, don't you. You know, because they met whatever requirements they had to, whether it was credits or GPA or days spent whatever it is. But with an inclusive commencement ceremony, even the kids who are not graduating would walk a graduation because

right now they feel left out. And so I'm like, are you what can you imagine being a kid who put in the work and you go get your diploma. Even if you sweep bye, you still did a lot more than some of your classmates. You didn't do any work, didn't give a crap, Probably were disciplinary issues. So anyway. All right, all right, let's get just think about that. That's what that means. All right, let's get race stagic from the leather pocket. What's up? Stir not

that much? Now you your way? Yeah, let's send Yeah. Yeah, this is real good. I mean, I mean, if you want to get outside and joy some great weather before we turn cooler again to colder next week, do it the next few days and join the sunshine. Even looking at the satellite picture right now out near Hickory and Boone and Marion, in Nashville and Hendersonville, there's a few clouds they may try to come across

to try it in the Triangle because the flow is west to east. But other than that, another than net seventy six seventy seven today somewhere around there, with sunshine tonight in the forties, even milder tomorrow, especially for the te Angle, where we may hit eighty probably seventies in the Tryad and points west, and then small chance of a couple of showers on Friday. Now we get into that mention of showers for Friday and Friday night, but it

really isn't gonna be anything widespread. We're still warm and near eighty degrees Friday, and then the weekend, we'll take it into the mid seventies. Saturday and Sunday look really good. A little bit more cloud by Saint Patty's Day Sunday, but it's next week. By about Tuesday Wednesday, we get a little colder. We could see some nighttime lows go back down below freezing. So we're not done with that yet, Casey. The colder temperatures at least

thirty two or lower. I think we got a shot at that as we get into next week, as the six to ten day outlook is for below average temperatures in the southeast US after this week. Okay, thank you, sir, appreciate it. Yeah, and we'll chat with Jeff Bellingcher next. Hang on. Good morning, Casey. Stocks advanced yesterday despite that report that showed inflation slightly hotter than expected last month. The S and P five hundred settled at a record high this morning. The futures are mixed. S and

P and NASDA futures of both lower. The Dow futures are up thirty three points. TikTok's chief executive was on Capitol Hill yesterday lobbying against a bill that would force the app's Chinese parent, Byte Dance, to either sell TikTok or face the possibility that the app could be banned in the US. A House vote on the measure is expected today. Dollar Tree saying this morning it's going to close about one thousand of its stores as it tries to become more profitable.

The discount chain has been dealing with litigation and other issues, including complaints about working conditions. Dollar Tree says about six hundred Family Dollar stores will be closed in the first half of the year. Additional Family Dollar and Dollar Tree outlets will be shuttered as their leases expire. The nationwide staffing network talent Launch

is being sued over a twenty twenty three data breach. Plaintiffs charged the Talent Launch failed to protect their personal information and the company waited ten months to notify more than one hundred twenty thousand people whose data was exposed. And Casey Christopher Nolan has reportedly had a very big payday as director and producer of the biopic

Oppenheimer. Variety reports Nolan has earned nearly one hundred million dollars. Now that's a combination of salary, back end compensation, box office escalators, and a bonus for winning two oscars. Casey, alrighty the dollar tree thing, that's great. Hey, we love some dollar stores in North Carolina. I'm concerned that we well, people won't know what to loot when hurricane season comes, so closed to many of those. Man. All right, well, thank

you very much, Jef. Okay, so talk to you tomorrow. Yeah, appreciate it. There you go, Jeff Ellinger, Bloomberg News. Dollar stores are kind of there's still mentally kind of a trip to me because like random dollar stores, like literally in the middle of nowhere is just not a thing anywhere I had lived before. So you'd be like, I love, you know, driving around the mountains, right and you just be between you're

between two towns, and I understand what they're doing. They're kind of that and it up central so everyone can go there and they just boom, there's a dollar tree. Or like when I'm driving up past Elkin up to up to the roying Gap Glad Valley area, there's a couple as you're going through like State Road and all that, and a newer one too, just kind of randomly there. And it's like how many dollar stores DoD you? But

they're always busy, so fine. I always thought like when the whole Chinese spy balloon came through, right, and it was coming through North Carolina, That's what I was thinking. Like they must have been looking like why are there so many dollar generals for dollar stores like that? They had to be back in shining on. What is this about? Yeah, well it's secret

underground tunnels, probably like the mattress firm or whatever. So but yeah, and then also seemingly it's the first thing that gets looted when the hurricane starts. So whatever. But did you say that on the air? I had to laugh. I didn't remember if you said that, or do you tweet that out or something? No, it's just a thought I had. Oh, okay, all right, yeah, that has to be confounding. I'd be like that s flying over, You're like, why is there so many

wet markets? What's happening? What's going on? But do you eat so much? Oh? So you could get fresh pangulin? Okay, all right, one other thing before we get out of here, do you remember, well, at least I don't know how far removed you have to be from the age Ross and I are. But if you're our age, your early forties. Your childhood. Every Saturday morning was inundated with Space Camp ads. Remember all the Space Camp ads. And then if you were not wealthy like

we were. I remember even bringing it up to my mom, and I thought I was gonna get grounded. She's like, no, you can't go to space Camp. I just assumed you show up. It's like some you know, some old top gun guys, some folks who made into the astronaut program. It doesn't even have to be people who went up. Maybe on one day you meet somebody who went up whatever. But I just assumed that's

who's leading this thing. And then I see this A politicians in Alabama because Huntsville, right, Huntsville, Alabama have express concern following a video that went viral of one of the leads. So that the you know, the folks who were literally in charge of the children that are there, was well,

it's interesting. There's an interesting backstory. The employee known as Molly Bowman, not that is Molly's trans as a trans woman, that is the name Molly goes By, who has a degree in graphic design, is apparently in that position, specifically team lead and a within the girl's dorm also one of the monitors in ras SO, so team lead on the learning side, and then also bunking within the girl's dorm to keep watch over them, including in the

girl's shower room and locker room. And one of the parents is like, what's going on here? One, you know, you didn't say anything to us. Two it's going on in Alabama, So people are gonna have thoughts there based on some of the state laws. Albeit a federal facility kind of but yeah, yeah, I just assume that's what it is. And then you go in the big gyro thing that spins you around till you puke. I just assume that was all of space Camp. But apparently there's there's more

going on. Did you ever want to go to space Camp? And then they launched you into space accidentally? And then then you have to land the shuttle back on Earth. It wasn't on the commercial. I was in the movie back in the day and the eighties. Remember Space Camp. I think they had Jerry O'Connell in it. Yeah, I never I know, I vaguely know that. I never saw the movie. So the premise is what

the kids that you know, the space Camp? And if I remember correctly, they gave the kids a tour of the actual going to go there doesn't work right, and actually, you know, hy jinks happened, shenanigans and it takes off and they find themselves out in space. Is it just the kids or was there a chaperone at least? I also want to say, I don't know if this is true. I think what's her name from Sex and the City, The Hideous One, the horse Face one, she was

the navigator. Yeah, maybe she was in that too, or maybe I'm conflating the two movies. But if I remember correctly, there was an older adult who tried to help them or older adolescent who tried to help the kids land, and they end up landing, and yeah, it's it's considered one of the hardest things to land ever created. The shuttle it I think they put an autopilot. That's how that works.
