Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Cacoday radio program and I was Rossand Evers chatting off the air, a
few things going on. We gotlots of audio today, but I would
be remiss because, once again,for the up umpteenth time, I'm sitting
there and I'm just trying to scrollthrough the social media, mostly because I

(00:20):
want to see what what insane thingis going on on the college campuses yesterday
so I can put it in theold show prep and boy, oh boy,
let me tell you this. Theanswer to that one is lots okay.
And here, let me just giveyou a little taste. I don't

(00:43):
even I won't even Maybe you're gonnacontext where this is from. Just know
and I'll explain here coming up.But just know that this is a college
student on a college campus, atleast he purports to be, who is
in the midst of getting a arrestedby police because the whole thing had gone

(01:03):
sideways, had been told to leave, some fights had broke, all right,
so it's it's just pandemonium and uh, this this is what he's yelling.
Uh, there's lots of bleeps.I warn you, what are you
doing? Learn? I gotta learnabout public health? I mean snatching that

(01:32):
dude, ride out of class likethat. I'm assuming, Kim, what's
the one everyone hates who wants tobe a doctor and then after they do
it, they don't want to bea doctor. It's it's uh, I
can't remember what it is, butthat's the class, right Ross you dubbed
it in He was sitting in hischair taking notes, right, and they
pulled him out of there, screaming, yeah, yeah, he's just he's

(01:53):
just Look he's just in here's gota pen and a notepath, just trying
to learn, man or he's outsidesurrounded by the unwashed masses. Which,
by the way, I'm I didn'tmajor in public health, so I'm a
I'm a little member. I Idid the poetry through Marxist lens. Once
I heard about that, I waslike, yes, sign me up.

(02:15):
But you know, you guys areall like grubby living in the quad in
like tents, and I know youget your masks on, but let's let's
let's be honest. Those are reallyonly when you when you suspect there's a
camera around or you're out harassing somebody. So uh, anyway, so I'm
just thumbing through there and for likethe the last I don't know how long

(02:36):
this has been going on. Everysingle time I'm there, I there's one
of two things that I see thatis annoying. The the tweets saying look
between letters, that's dumb, it'sand now's the point where people are annoyed
by it. So then others doit just a troll, which if it

(02:57):
had just been trolling to start with, maybe, but some people we're serious
about it. And two and Ifeel like right off to talk about this
the man versus bear thing, andnot in the cool like the world's Strongest
Man spencing sponson Magsisin or you knowwhoever it is is going to fight a
bear. Sign me up for thatto watch. Of course, I don't

(03:19):
want to be on like the undercartor anything. No, no, no,
If you haven't, it's like this, it's like the worst thought exercise
and most disingenuous responses to prove apoint that I think I've seen in quite
some time. And if you don'tknow what it is, here's how it
works. And it's for you ladies, and I guess those who identify as

(03:42):
ladies, because this sounds like wetgarbage. And the challenge is you ask
women if you were out in thewoods, you're hiking the trail and you
wander into a clearing, knowing thatyou're miles from civilization, and they're standing
right in front of you. Iseither a man you don't know or a

(04:10):
bear, which would you rather encounterin this wilderness situation? And almost exclusively
when they put together these answers,it's these it's some really angry looking chick
on TikTok or some preachy social justiceultimate feminist lady, and she's sitting there

(04:38):
and without hesitation, she's like thebear. Okay, okay, by the
way, I just gonna let yougo. I've been in these situations.
But again, this is supposed tobe for women. I've literally in both
those situations, been really really intothe wilderness and encountered those things. I'll
tell you, and let me tellyou this. It's far. I will

(05:00):
agree if you think you're nowhere nearanybody and you see them, but it's
not out of the question, right, I've been miles back. I've been
miles and miles back. Like wewalked almost for a day to get back
somewhere because my buddy had he drewa mountain mountain goat tag, and so

(05:23):
we went way way back there andwe ran into it, dude, and
I admit I was surprised, mostlybecause like it's you have you had to
know how far back it is.But I've also run into a bear,
right, and both of which,you know, the bear was obviously less
surprising in the sense that you kindof you're ready for that. But here's

(05:45):
the problem with this. And Iwasn't murdered by either, just so we're
clear, here's the problem with this, because the it's it's this whole thought
exercise that's dumb, but is predicatedin I think the people's minds who put
it out there that they're raising awarenessabout, you know, toxic masculinity and

(06:06):
how horrible men are. And sothey'll say, well, well i'll take
I'll take the bear. I'll takethe bear. And then the stat that
they spew is, you know,on average women, blah blah blah face
this, so you know they're they'reAnd then they'll say they're far more likely

(06:27):
during their lifetime to be injured bya man than a bear, which do
you know why that's probably true?I think, and I haven't run the
science on this. I think thatif you were to ask most women how
many random encounters with strange men theymay have right where you're like in a

(06:50):
parking garage. I'm trying to takea scenario, so you're not quite in
the wilderness, like you're in aparking garage and there's there's just some dude
kind of hanging out in there.Which, by the way, even if
you're a guy and some dudes justhanging out in there looking like like he's
not going to his car, yoursituational awareness should be up. But I
think on average, the average Americanwoman is presented on an annual basis with

(07:15):
I don't know, zero bar encounters. Zero I believe would probably again you
have to take me out my wordhere, but I think on average,
not the average American woman has zerorando bar encounters, whereas she will likely
encounter men that she doesn't know.Even in those scenarios, even if she's

(07:39):
just in a store, right andthe clerk is a dude and she's by
herself. I mean, I guessthat kind of ticks the box, right.
It's the dumbest thing ever, andit's inaccurate. And I think,
and maybe what we need we needmore bears. We need because then and
only then can we do this.And also what kind of bear? That's

(08:03):
right, I know it's Monday morning, we're doing some we're doing some animal
biology stuff. What kind of bear? Because if you ask me what kind
of bear, and I knew geographicallywhere we were, I could pick a
bear that I'd prefer to encounter.You get out in the rocky mountains,
give me a black bear all day. For the most part, they don't
grow as big, not as bigas the ones up in the northeast,

(08:26):
much smaller. And chances are ifyou just if you're noisy enough and there's
not cubs around, they're out ofthere. Don't give me a brown bear,
though, Don't give me a grizzlyNope, nope, nope, nope.
So like the whole thing is dumb, but it, for whatever reason
that and the key thing or thekey thing, the key is on the
keyboard thing persists, and I haveI have no idea why. Mostly I

(08:52):
think just to annoy me. Allright, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four coming up,we got awards that we're gonna have.
Now, we got more insanity oncollege campuses, because of course we do.
I guess graduations over the weekend.Most of them went smooth, some
of them didn't. And one localcommunity I guess is trying to outcompete Kerry

(09:16):
for most dangerous city of North Carolina. I'm half joking, although I am
a little surprised by this story.So lots to get to six seventeen.
Hang on, we have a littleconspiracy to sported, and I need to
know what team you're on. Sodid you all see this? Really it's

(09:41):
not a very long video. It'snot a long video, but it's you
don't need to be the body languageperson that like O'Reilly used to have on
to really deep dive of what mightbe going on here. But it's it's
just Biden, you know, moving. I guess he's probably moving to or

(10:03):
from Marine one, and it's thatstandard. Here's every reporter in the press
pool screaming at him from about twentyfeet away, simultaneous questions, and he
stops, which is not unusual becausethen sometimes he'll answer some of these,
much to his staff's dismay. Buthe stops, and he he gets this

(10:26):
really weird look on his face,and he because there's the gait of him
moving, but there's also the wayhe stops and almost kind of I don't
know how to scre like pushes outlike a little bit his lower back.
Well, and this is what he'shearing, by the way, all right,

(10:48):
so that's not impress You have tosee the video. Do you think
was he just stopping to listen orperhaps with something else going on here?
That's the question, because uh,people got jokes, people got theories,
and you know, if if you'recognizant enough of how do I how do

(11:15):
I do this delicately? You everbeen in a position where you're on the
fence as to whether that's just gas, so you take a much more measured
approach because you just you don't trust. But that's all it is. It

(11:41):
kind of looks like that or oruh, you know, he did the
pope thing again. I don't know. You can be the judge of it,
because it could be it could bejust it was an awkward, kind
of weird series of stops and bodymovements. It could be he was just

(12:05):
uh, you know, trust butverify and things did work out. But
still you kind of kind of theway your body is ready for it,
you can see that, or youknow, the worst happened, So I
guess those are the those are thethree options. I kind of feel like
I'm in I'm right in between numbertwo and number three, which, by

(12:28):
the way, that's that's funny.Actually it's a it's an unintended pun,
but something's going on there. Well, we'll tweet out a link to the
video. You could check it out. Ross one, two or three?
Where's your where are you at?You think? You just think it's just
a weird kind of gait thing andhe just paused and Okay, Like again,
I'm not convinced on any of this, but it just was weird because

(12:52):
then I'm thinking about all the contortionswhen what may make when in that situation.
So I don't know. Man.In fact, I was chat Ross
and or chatting about it off there. He did not see it. So,
but no doubt you saw some ofthe the highlights or lowlights I did

(13:13):
see. I did see that.I was confirmed. Some people shouldn't be
roasted. Okay, some people shouldn'tbe roasted because they there their ego can't
take it. And I'm convinced TomBrady was that. I give him a
lot of grief, but mostly it'sjust because like harassing you know, Patriots

(13:33):
fans in the uh you know,in the rivalry sense. But like I
thought he probably could. But whenI saw that interaction with Jeff Ross,
Look, Jeff Ross, if you'regonna do one of these roasts, Jeff
Ross is going to be there.He is if you think, if you
think of ros Jeff Ross is theking of the roast currently, yeah,

(13:56):
because the rest of them are dead. Yeah. Yeah, But and you
know, you go back obviously thesixties in the in the excuse me,
the late sixties into the seventies seventiesis really the heyday right of the roast.
You go back and you see theold you know, Sammy Davis is
there, Sinatra by making appearance.It's just but yeah, but with the

(14:16):
newer ones, because they're really bigin the two thousands, like there are
two thousands, Trump sat for one. I mean, my god, man,
Greg Giraldo is dead, Nor McDonaldis dead, right, who's the
other one? Kilbert Godfried is dead. It's like Jeff Ross is the only
one left. And that now andthat lady who just talks about how many
like Lisa Lampanelli, right, likeher whole stick is that although she's funny,

(14:37):
she makes funny jokes. I'll giveher. I'll give her credit.
And I actually I enjoy the roastthing. I enjoy that. I that,
but I like I like comedy andbut I also like specific nit niches
of it and and that's that's fun. I usually enjoy those. And how

(15:00):
many centrals put out some good ones. Like I said, watching the Trump
one after he was inaugurated was kindof surreal because it took place obviously years
before. But like, this issomething crazy about the dude who's just you
know, getting you know, gettingthe curtains picked out at the White House,
is just sitting there taking crap fromLisa Lampinelli. I don't know.

(15:20):
There's something pretty crazy about that tome. But so I watched the Brady
thing and I thought it was gonnabe fine. And then ro Jeff Ross
made a joke about not Tom Brady, but our Robert Kraft, and it
was a joke about the massage.Well it was about Tom Brady too.

(15:41):
He said something along the lines of, you know Tom was selected, you
know, number one ninety nine.He gets up there, walks into Robert
Craft's office. Thank you for thankyou, sir, thank you very much
for selecting me. I really appreciateit. Would you like a massage?
And Brady got up and went overto Ross and told him, don't say

(16:06):
that blank again. And in ain a roast, that reaction from the
roast the person being roasted is usuallymostly done for comedic purposes, right,
but this felt very will Smithy WillSmith Chris Rocky and uh yeah yeah.

(16:26):
And then he was like he wasmotionless during all the gizelle stuff, which
I guess I kind of get,but I don't know. Man. You
if you know Jeff Ross is gonnabe there, He's going to make jokes.
And and by the way, inthose roasts, there usually are some
parameters about he could get uh likeuh with with Trump, the parameters were

(16:51):
I believe somebody said that the parameterswere that he agreed to the roast,
but they couldn't joke about his wifeex wife or minor children. Now you
talk, they talk about it,but they couldn't make jokes. And somebody
did kind of make a joke,but it wasn't really at their expense,
you know, And I you know, I guess I get that because they're

(17:11):
not up there to defend themselves.But yeah, it was really awkward.
So and I was surprised. Ifigured it, Come on, man Craft
is sitting there by the way too, So it's it's it's clearly even though
Brady's part of the joke, it'sclearly a joke at Robert Craft's expense.
But no, he was not havingthat, not having that at all.

(17:37):
All right, But maybe you thinkI miss reading it, mister Boston Paul,
because you're the one who sent itto me. But yeah, also
I don't think Rady much like KevinHart's jokes, and Heart was Heart was
the the roastmaster. So yeah,the whole thing was kind of awkward,
and I generally like that, butI don't know, I was half paying

(17:57):
attention. I just gotten prep stuffdone. So anyway, all right,
let's uh, let's let's go aheadand get into this, because we got
to We got a crap ton ofaudio and different stuff we got to get
through. So yeah, as whenwe last left, a bunch of about
a seventy five or so protesters decidedto interrupt the University of Michigan's graduation ceremony,

(18:21):
you know, to get turn peopleto their side, and uh,
it really it really sputtered out,although it did halt it for a while.
And ironically, I think if you'rethe if you're the Michigan governor,
Whitmer right, and uh, youknow, part of your hobbies are destroying

(18:41):
kids graduation ceremonies. You had torespect the speed at which they brought it.
You didn't have to hold a bunchof press conferences and rope off seeds
like they smashed that. Uh,they didn't quite do it all the way,
but in impressive run. Unfortunately,all the people who had just spent
a gazillion dollars on their kids togo there traveled however far they had to

(19:03):
travel, assembled in this stadium withyou know, the horde of other people.
They weren't having any of it.And really the exciting part for the
crowd was when they started hooking themup and dragging them out, or they
told them that people being dragged outwere Buckeye fans, so you'd get the

(19:26):
same reaction. So yeah, Meanwhile, around these parts we did run into
that, not to that extent.And I got to be honest, one
of the big concerns out there wasexactly this. You know, what's going
to happen these graduation ceremonies. Rememberseveral schools USC I think kind of the
highest profile one canceling there, juststraight up canceling it. And that's when

(19:51):
all the stories started to emerge abouthow no graduation once again for you,
and they started they interviewed this onelady, this one, this one woman
who was, you know, bemoaning. I think she went to high school
in California too. But just likeI can feel for that, I can

(20:11):
understand that. Now, I didn'tgo to my own graduation for even high
school, so I literally I nevernever attended graduation either, but that was
my choice. I left, Igraduated semester, I left. I just
didn't bother coming back because I reallydidn't care. But yeah, yeah,
if you really want that thing,I understand why she's upset. So the

(20:33):
last thing you want is a bunchof moonbats to sending on you on your
ceremony. So I got to thinkthat there is it's a lot easier to
control access to a ticketed event insideof a stadium that has security settings to
control access, But some universities aren'tgoing to be that lucky, and so
we will be following this as manymany folks are going to be graduating over

(20:56):
the next about week week and ahalf, all right, eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. Unfortunately, though, if you go
to Arizona State University and you werepart of the illegal occupation that culminated with
the frat bros throwing everybody's stuff ina truck to haul it away, remember
that audio from last week. Realityset in. Reality has set in for

(21:22):
some of the students, including thisyoung lady. I mean, I'm a
little disappointed. I I I'm beingrestricted from a lot of things right now
that I that I didn't expect tobe firstanding up for something that I believe
in, and you know I haveI know you can kind of hear it,

(21:48):
but just to emphasize, she isin tears. She is in tears
being interviewed because she's been told,hey, actions have consequences, you know,
and by the way, the verysame consequences that at the time you
did the thing we told you wouldbe the consequences were in fact the consequences,

(22:08):
and she can't handle it. Ihave family coming in who I have
to let them know, you know, not come to my graduation ceremonies.
By the way, do you knowwho doesn't have family coming in. A
lot of Jewish students in different partsof the world, Israel kind of spot

(22:30):
there. They probably have family missingduring this graduation season, so as by
the way, as well as probablysome of the Palestinian students, So you
know, something to think about.Anyway, I'm sorry, back to whatever
this blubbering interview is. I amglad that there is a guarantee that my

(22:56):
courses will be taken care of,so I don't have to worry necessarily about
about my graduation requirements and the factthat I will earn my degree as I
as I have spent the past fouryears doing. But I'm just disappointed.

(23:21):
I mean, I'm a twenty twentyhigh school grad so I wasn't able to
walk then, and so okay,I'm not able to walk now. Yeah,
accept accept The first thing, admittedlywasn't your fault, right, That

(23:45):
was whoever you're I don't know whereshe grew up, but that was lawmakers
she made that decision and school officialsand all that. So I actually feel
bad for you about that, especiallywith everything that we know. Now that
being said, this is this isall you hear, and now you're an
adult before. Not only was itnot your fault, you were also a
kid. By the way, hername is Brianna Brocker. She will not

(24:10):
be uh not be attending her physicalgraduation there, and she just can't be.
I was doing what I believed wasright, and I still believe it
to be right. Then why Okay, let me ask you a question.
If you do, then why areyou crying? If you because again they
didn't hide that this is going tobe the consequence. So if you still

(24:30):
think that you were right, youshould be incensed. You shouldn't be crying.
You should be angry. That's whatI would expect. But then you
would also have to justify you know, why you're right. So if you
think you did what you did wasright, you shouldn't be crying. I
would. I would stand up forthe cause again, even if it means
something negative to me, because,like the cause is so much harm has

(24:59):
been done to to all of thosepeople already. I am safe. I
am I am fine. I mightnot graduate and that might harm future job
prospects and stuff like that, butI'm not not as much. I'm not
like in physical danger. I'm notI'm not constantly worried about being hurt or

(25:22):
being forced from my home or anythinglike that. I would absolutely stand up
again and protest again. Okay,I you know what I uh, let
me say this. I don't knowyou, but I don't believe you.
I think that And here's here's whatI mean. I think that this,

(25:42):
the consequences here might be factored innext time because you she seems really upset
about this, even though it wasone hundred percent predictable because you were told
like this might be the most learningfrom uh, from your university experience that

(26:04):
she does. Maybe I don't know, I hold out hope on this stuff,
but like I would, I wouldthink I would think that maybe if
if this really does cause a bigwound, you might be more measured in
it. It doesn't mean you can'tstand up for stuff, but it's the
way that you go about it,because that's that's what the debate here is.

(26:26):
Nobody's debating whether you can, youknow, walk around and hate Israel
or love this or or detest thator whatever it is, and make your
voices hurt. In Chapel Hill yesterday, the student group that organized the initial
rally, which was then excommunicated fromcampus. They decided they were going to
go uh slow walk Franklin Street andyou know, and that was there.

(26:51):
That was their form of protest.Now, I don't know they broke like
jaywalking laws or exactly how it worksthere in Chapel Hill. That being said,
uh, it doesn't appear anybody didanything illegal. Maybe just annoying if
some people were wanting to get throughthere. So you know that nobody's got
a beef with well, they don'thave a criminal beef with that. They

(27:14):
may think you're dumb and you're wrong, but ultimately we're missing that step where
she's addressing the cause, but notthe way that the cause was promoted.
I know you guys know this,but it's Monday and some people are very
sleepy. So um yeah, dude, I saw the the the frat boy

(27:41):
summer thing. I think is stuck. Right. If you've seen that,
and if you haven't heard that,I think you're you're gonna get sick of
that phrase, the frat boy summerthing, and it's just you know,
spurred off the UNC obviously what happenedat UNC, and then some of the
videos from University of Mississippi and Alabamaand Hubbard. By the way, this

(28:02):
these protests are not seem to begoing well down around the Gulf Coast because
they're not having any of this,and people people are lining up, uh
and they had where was the videofrom LSU? And then you have you
have frat dudes chanting, you havezero SEC championships to protesters. So it's

(28:23):
like this weird three year letterman memetie in and it's just it's wild.
And that's only going to grow.That's only going to pick up. And
people putting that giant screen out showingthe atrocities of October seventh on Loop.
You're going to see more of that. Guys showing up and running the Good

(28:45):
Morning Vietnam audio. That's a thingthat happened at USC or UCLA. So
this thing's just this thing's just rampingup. But it's getting much more personal.
And I'll explain why coming up onthe ac O Day radio programs.
It's gonna be I wan't say awild weather week, but it'll there'll be
a lot of variety. So ifyou crave variety, this is your week.

(29:07):
We'll chat with him and we gotwe got snakes on planes and Google
Decision, all sorts of stuff toget to but I want to start with
a trend, and I want toapproach this just to recre I'm gonna approach
it from two different directions. I'mgonna, you know, I'm gonna approach
it from me the loudmouth radio host, but also I'm gonna put on my

(29:32):
PR hat because you know, whatwe do to some extent he is is
PR and communication. You know,it all is under that umbrella, because
I don't understand what how there areThere are people who are smart political strategists
for both parties. They're good atit, okay, as much as we

(29:56):
make fun and all that, andthere's some real losers out there, but
they're not They They are willing to. They are willing to, even if
they won't say it out loud.They're willing to make decisions based on you
know, actual returns, data andthings that they think will work or won't
work. Right, they fired allthose people over at the over the Democratic

(30:18):
Party because I also want to evaluatethis, this trend. And here's the
trend, taking a modern day politicalposition issue and the issue matters, by
the way, but also the processand conflating it with and then insert some

(30:45):
very famous struggle for something protests,arrests, perhaps you know, horribleness with
interactions with law enforcement. Can't stateis brought up what you saw in this
South during the civil rights movement thatwas done to civil rights protesters and then

(31:08):
to see and then to convince yourselfwhat's going on right now is same,
is the same, and not realizingthat you doing that now. It's not
even just the messaging, it's thefact that you would have the audacity to
tell people this is just like nineteensixty. Let me start with this because

(31:30):
this is This is from the headof the North Carolina Democratic Party, Anderson
Clayton. And Ander said, she'svery young. I don't think she's dumb,
though people are saying, oh,she's done no no, no,
no, no. Look, Ijust think she doesn't see this, and
I don't understand why, because Iam seeing Democrats, you know, try
to distance themselves. Politico wrote anarticle over the weekend, going, it's

(31:55):
surprising when you find out who's fundingthese protests and the deal is political is
left outlet But the only persons surprisemight be Politico. We'll get into that
later. But Clayton tweets the followingsixty three years after the freedom Writers came
to the South. We're still arrestingfolks for peacefully protesting war on college campuses.

(32:15):
All right, so there's strike.This is strike number one. I
understand putting that line out there,but people have eyes and they can see
this stuff. Okay, remember whatwas ross? What was the galvanizing visual
moment for you with the protests specificallyat UNC Was it something somebody said,

(32:36):
something you heard, or was itsomething you saw? No, yeah,
no, we talked about it iswhen they put when they took the flag
down to put their flag up,galvanizing moment. Throw and then throwing Remember
they were throwing food and drinks onthe on the black police chief. Right,
only those two things. And andthen somebody reads this, I feel
like it has the opposite effect ofwhat you think you're going to accomplish.

(32:57):
She goes on to write, universityadministrators are cross ends here to blame for
the violence against young people. We'vewitnessed. Quote police arrested now she's quoting
from a report from nineteen sixty.Okay, police arrested Writers for trespassing,
unlawful assembly, violating state, localJim Crow laws, and other alleged offenses.
But often they first let white mobsattack them without intervention, which,

(33:21):
by the way, she should knowbecause in nineteen sixty it was the person
who had her job in a lotof instances who was organizing the white mobs.
And so for all those reasons,people read that and I don't see
one. Now it comes down towho responds on Twitter, so to say

(33:42):
there's not one person going, yougo girl, And frankly, if you
are a as you're seeing, ifyou are a quote unquote undecided voter and
you are old enough to remember thesixties, this has to galvanize you in
the other direction. Up at Columbia, they were sitting there and they were
conflating humanitarian aid. Right, weneed humanitarian aid. We might starve to

(34:08):
death or die of thirst, blahblah blah, and humanitarian aid as functional
adults understand, it is not forninety thousand dollars a year college students to
eat German butter cookies and high endDeli sandwiches. People see that. People
recognize that there's an article that WRALhad over the weekend. Here we go

(34:32):
headline after row. The network ofpeople who help others get abortions see themselves
as the abortion underground. Organizing acar pool to play parenthood does not I
can't believe. I have to say, that does not make you Harriet Tubbin.

(34:52):
And when you couple that with hashtagstuff, you know, hashtag activism
and you know the LARPing aspect ofit. Don't get me wrong, there's
some diehards in there, but alot of it's just people are like this
is they haven't found anywhere else tofit in, so this is where they
fit in. That makes people angry. I saw some one of the protesters.

(35:14):
What did they uh, they didn'tsay it, they wrote it.
It was basically real like, realcourage is not going somewhere else and enforcing
your will on other people, butrather enforcing what is right on your own
people. Let me let me breakthat down for you. Real courage is

(35:37):
not military service. It's I guesswhatever this is. How do you think
people are going to react to that? Who are moderate, who are pretty
much apolitical in a lot of instances, and that's what they're hearing. And
by the way, that's uh ifyou if you look at it in the
broader sense of things, right,because you can pick out in individual stuff

(36:00):
where people what they did here inthe US too, was was courageous,
unquestionably, and a lot of theactivism was going on during the Civil Rights
movement and many other things that thatturned out to be inherently correct, right
to be the right thing. Uh, those examples exist. But in the

(36:22):
overall, you're gonna tell me thata person at Columbia sitting there who's on
ninety thousand dollars tuition, eating eatingnice and uh, you know, running
out and screaming, you know,from the river to the sea, eradicate
the Jews, and and and thencamping. You're telling me that that person
is imbued with more courage than Idon't know everyone aboard the USS Indianapolis.

(36:47):
I'm trying to think of really themost horrific consequences. By the way,
do you guys you know that whenI reference USS Indianapolis, but the refer
Okay, if you don't, letme just give you the readers digest,
and I want you the whole timetime to envision the comparent contrast here.
Okay, the USS Indianapolis was theship that delivered the parts for the nukes

(37:15):
that we used on Japan. Andbecause they had to, they had to
assemble it on one of the nearbyislands, right. They didn't want to
transport all, so they literally assembledit there. The USS Indianapolis they brought
the stuff and the japan had theyknew that something bad was coming. And

(37:35):
remember we had said that we havea weapon and it's gonna you guys are
not gonna like it, right weleaf We were leafleting Japan with this,
and the Japanese, the Japanese navyknew that that was the ship carrying stuff.
And so you know, you geta thousand people on this ship and
they're just like, screw it,we got to get this done. It

(37:57):
was rot with danger. Everyone knew. They they dropped off the parts and
they were headed back and they gottorpedoed. So Japan did get the ship,
but they didn't get them before theydropped off the parts. And you
know what happened, but the Indianapolis, after it was torpedoed, immediately they
started ceiling. Like two or threehundred of the of the sailors were sealed

(38:21):
into their quarters because you have tostart trying to keep the ship from sinking.
And if you're inside and you're onthe wrong side of one of those
watertight doors. It was what itwas, and there are counts of some
of the sailors who survived who literallywere having to stand there next to it
and have all of the people theywork with pleading with them to open the
door. And that was just thestart of it. Because the ship did

(38:44):
the Titanic thing where it went noseup in the water, and I don't
know if you know what happens.Everyone then jumps off the ship and they
start swimming like mad because it createsa very strong vacuum current and if you
didn't get far enough away, youwere literally sucked underwater. And maybe that
would have been the better thing,because it also the entire top of the

(39:06):
water had now become engulfed in flames, so you could get sucked under.
But then if you somehow were ableto get up out of there, you
then you burst in there and there'sno oxygen because fires consuming oxygen. Plus
you're now on fire. And ifsomehow, if somehow, that that didn't

(39:28):
get you, and it didn't aboutuh. They estimate about three hundred people
were lost initially, and then therest were just bobbing around in the ocean.
And then the shark showed up andbut it was all said and done,
I think that two hundred to threehundred made it out of a thousand.

(39:51):
But for days, the sharks wouldjust run around and eat people,
and then they would group up.People would literally group up to see if
that would stop. And at firstit worked because the sharks had a bunch
of like carcasses to eat, youknow, people who were dead. But
then I don't know, somebody putit on an insta and they're like,
hey man, you got to behere, and then like more sharks showed

(40:13):
up, and literally people would giveup and they'd swim away from the group
and then immediately get eaten by sharks. And this went on for days and
days. I mean, just imaginethat you got your tent taken away.

(40:35):
Meanwhile some guy might be on fireon top and then the bottom house getting
eaten, which, by the way, that is now just thinking about that
is the worst ross. Put thaton my list of ten worst deaths ever.
Fire on top, shark eating youon the bottom. In fact,
it was so horrific what happened,and initially the details of it and why

(41:02):
they were there and what was goingon. Because of the secrecy of the
program. Yeah, we used it. But remember we were still then.
You know, after that we wererushed into this Cold war with Russia that
families of sailors wrote letters because thecaptain survived, they wrote letters telling you

(41:22):
talking about how horrible he is,and instead he didn't explain himself. This
went on for years and years.He finally killed himself. But yeah,
yeah, your sandwich was supposed tobe hot, and then they forgot to
put it in the grill thing.I'm sorry. So when people see this

(41:44):
and make statements like that, Idon't how you can't serve any purpose to
galvanize people, either to your positionor to at the very least electing officials
who might be more sympathetic to it. So if the mark getting person and
he doesn't get it, and youknow, the opinionated individual, sure as

(42:06):
hell doesn't get it, but ittrucks on man, it trucks on Alan.
What's up, Hey, I wasjust wondering, Casey. Now,
I know that what's going on overon the other side of the world is
horrible, but how many of thesekids you said, you know, they're

(42:29):
going to school ninety thousand dollars ayear, which I understand that, but
how many of their parents have mutualfunds that have investments that are in Israel,
whereas they're worried about the school beinginvested in Israel as opposed to their
parents, well maybe their heart byyou know what, I suspect these people
are probably also winding to their parentsabout it if they disagree. So yeah,

(42:54):
I'm going to sell off their mutualfunds and you know, divest every
investment they have, because hell,you don't know where your money's invested half
the time in those mutual funds.Yeah, I mean, I'm sure that
they probably expressed their and maybe theirparents, maybe their parents the reason they
put them over there is because theyjust to get them out of the house.

(43:15):
I don't know, but yeah,I hear what you're saying. I
appreciate the call there, Sir.I hear what you're saying. But yeah,
it wouldn't surprise me. The differenceis if your parents are paying your
way going through college, there isa line that I think that you eventually

(43:37):
find yourself at that you have todecide whether you want to cross before they
cut you off. So, buteach individual circumstances may vary, I guess
would be the way to say thatso yes, I don't understand how you
think, well, this is thesame thing that's going to irritate people.

(43:57):
It's not nineteen sixty. It's notthe cause in and of itself. While
yes, obviously you know people peoplethat push back to allow of the civil
rights legislation inherently at the end ofthe day, even though we don't know
fully how it plays out in theend, most people's minds see what they

(44:19):
see when they're where they're evaluating yourmessaging. Is one group. One group
decided that, you know, peopleshould be treated equal, and the other
group is talking about eradicating a populationof people and uh and you know,
wearing terrorist garb. So regardless ofhow you think, they may be the

(44:42):
same. I don't understand how youthink that is a winning message. But
by all means, continue, Ithink would be the position probably of their
political opponents. All right, seventwenty three long segment, we'll be back.
Hang on, I don't understand thisphenomena, but you need to stop
it. Why is it that thereare so many people who have worked in

(45:07):
sports, in the sports reporting industryfor so long and or worked like his
coaches or just you know, involvedwith the sport of basketball. How is
it that so many of you can'tnot be creepy when you're talking to Caitlin
Clark? What is wrong with you? Like almost immediately remember around the draft

(45:28):
he had the one of the localbroadcast guys. I understood kind of the
joke he was trying to make andhow it kind of came across, but
like it was wholly predictable. Hemade this uncomfortable joke about this little sign,
this I love you signed things shemakes, and he was like,
why don't you make that to me? Right? And he was joking about

(45:49):
coverage, but it came across asreally creepy. And then she she literally
makes her debut and it's post gameand they started they're asking about her boyfriend
and stuff, and it's like,I did Anthony Edwards and the Timberwolves beat
the Nuggets over the weekend, right, and which was amazing, And I

(46:10):
do I am a little I havean affinity for the Wolves just because I
lived in Minnesota, and I reallygot into it that year when I thought
they might actually win it because itwas like Garnett Zerbiak, Sam Cassell,
Latrell Spreewell. Even that year acouple other Hoiberg was the outside shooter.
They had a really good team andunfortunately they lost the Western Finals to the

(46:31):
Lakers, and Mark Madsen basically wasallowed to come in and shive the Wolves
the whole series and then we signedhim the next year. But so,
but this team looks great and AnthonyEdwards I saw them talking to him after
and nobody asked him, like ifhe's gotten to third base with his girl
yet? So stop it, juststop. What is wrong with you?

(46:52):
Folks? Ask her about ask herabout if she had a good game,
you know why, and then ifshe had a bad one, what she
thinks she needs to work on.How about like ask her that people were
saying that she wouldn't play, shewouldn't be able to be you know,
it'd be a challenge for her professionally, and then having an amazing game her
first game. Yes, Yeah,which is why I was sitting there.

(47:13):
Storyline, I'm sitting there on Saturdayand I'm scrolling through exer Twitter and I'm
like, hey, I'm like,oh, she played last night, and
that blew my mind the turnaround becauseshe was just in like the final four,
right, the championship game. Yeah, then she got drafted like two
weeks later, and then like amonth now she's playing in the w n
B A. I wish, Iwish NBA, NFL, I wish it
could all be the same way.That's an increading. That's an incredible turnaround

(47:37):
in my opinion. Yeah, andthen people saying she's able to get it
done, but I hear you right, No, no, she's gonna be
poverty, She's not gonna be ableto play. And then I'm like,
well, I gotta check this out, and you chall on the stats and
you get through the highlights and you'relike, Nope, she's going to be
just fine. Yeah, she'ld beokay. Yeah, but don't you want
to know if her and her boyfriend, if canoodled doesn't that isn't that it?

(47:57):
Right now? I need to knowdo they have matching pajamas? It's
a oh my gosh, yeah,we won't know unless we ask, Like,
ah, it's just so creepy,man Like. If people will make
an argument, they'll be like,ah, you know, the women and
the men are treated different. Andthen we can sit there and talk about
why the pay differential is what itis right based on revenue derived and the
process and all that, but whenit comes to these press conferences, you're

(48:22):
right kind of and it shouldn't beAnd it's all the very same woke folks
who would sit there and tell youyou're a bigot because you say, hey,
maybe you should just ask about basketball, and they're like, god,
but there's big social issues. Areyou asking about her love life for on
her first day? And as Rosspointed out, where there is an overwhelming
storyline, it's clear what the storylineis. If if it's the third season,

(48:50):
right, and it's some mediocre gamein the middle, and there's a
rapport that's been drawn, and maybethere was some I don't know, maybe
there was a reason that whoever she'sdating is in the news, right they
were court side wearing a crazy outfitor something. Then fine, go ahead
and get into that, but doyou know, do it in a in
a in a non creepy manner.But this is it. The only thing

(49:12):
that should be being talked about iswow, Okay, now you've just seen
what the first next level looks likeand you and you dominated the same way
that they were sitting there an talkingto Anthony Edwards, who put up forty
three points to beat the Nuggets.That was a wild game. The Nuggets
are really good. But no,no, we get we get the other

(49:37):
thing and uh ugh, this iscrazy man, all right and a cop
dude. It was a crazy sportsweekend. If I could for just a
moment, we get we got tonsmore audio, we get to on the
protest fromt But I need just alittle reprieve the obviously you had, you
had, you know, playoff basketballif you get in the NBA or not.

(49:57):
Still, the storyline is nobody expectsthe Timberwolves were going to do really
well against the Nuggets, and theytook game one. Now they still may
lose. Okay, the closest Ithink it was what the closest Cup finish
in history over in the world ofNASCAR, Am I am? I do
I have that stat right? Ibelieve that's correct. I think it was
the closest. Yeah, here wego. The closest finish in series history

(50:21):
took place over the weekend. Anddid you see the finish of the Kentucky
Derby. I watched that thing fivetimes and had to walk physically walk up
and freeze it and walk up tothe TV. So I'm standing there,
you know, that you're standing.When you were a kid, if you
stood that close, your your momand yell at you because your eyes were
gonna burst or whatever to see it. And then the the golfer who was

(50:49):
winning the Byron or win in thePGA tournament over the weekend. He's got
a one shot lead. Tyler,No, that was the other day.
I'm sorry. Ben Coles is hisname, and so this is the Byron
Nelson and he's got a one strokelead. Eighteenth hole has one career top

(51:12):
ten finish ever, right, andand the eighteenth hole is playing as if
not the easiest, one of theeasiest. In fact, nobody had bogied
it all day. And the dudemelts down. But for their by their
standards, if I shot a ifI shot a bogie, it, you
know, no, that's you know, that's just me on a part five,

(51:37):
probably gonna shoot a bogie. Butthis guy me, he shoots,
and he shoots a bogey, gota one stroke lead. And then the
dude he's playing with in his groupshoots a birdie. So literally flip the
script on it. So if youlike close finishes and crazy stuff, man,
it was your weekend. And allthey had to do was not act
like creepers, and they couldn't helpthemselves. This is what man, All

(52:00):
right, let's do this. Let'sgrab ray here for man. You gonna
yeah, a good week for youbecause everything is just always it's you know,
it's not San Diago, right,it's gonna be a little up,
little down, and so let's uh, how you doing, and let's get
into it. Yeah, give youthe week a little bit more unsettled than

(52:21):
the end of the week. Bigcool down coming. I thinks the headline
had some rain yesterday Saturday across thearea too, and more showers casey already
as we had through this morning ofsouth of Charlotte and west of Hickory and
Ashville heading this way. So Ithink midday into the afternoon we'll start to
see the showers, the thunderstorms comeback in here. Temperature wise, probably

(52:43):
get close to eighty. Most ofus will stay in the seventies this morning.
I already start off in the sixtieswith some patchy fog and drizzle around
too, so that may be hamperingthings. More showers and thunderstorms around early
tonight, and we'll still have someshowers thundershowers tomorrow, might add a little
bit more heat to the atmosphere,but there's still be plenty of dry hours
with the shower thunderstorm threat mixed inthere. Mid eighties and then Wednesday maybe

(53:07):
close to nineties, especially in theTriangle, and it does look like shower
thundershowers of return of the afternoon.The cool downcoming though, is going to
be in a very pleasant weekend.I'm going to jump right toward that,
because we'll get a cold front tocome through by the weekend, a high
load of mid seventies, could seesome lows, especially from the triad west
end of the mountains, maybe intothe forties, so you know, a
little un settled beginning in midweek.Later in the week it'll cool off,

(53:30):
and I think really by the weekendis going to be the payoff. So
fingers crossed and plenty more days totalk about that. A nice school down
all the way. Yeah, didyour horse win the derby? Now my
horse came in second. Oh yeah. Do you guys do a random Do
you guys just do a random drawlike everybody else? Uh No, we
kind of just kind of we didn'treally do anything official. Everybody just kind

(53:51):
of picked their favorites and Yeah,we didn't get that much into it since
we were out of town. Sousually we have a little gathering and all
that stuff. But yeah, we'rejust you know, but secondism as good
as first, but it's better thanlast. No, my horse was so
the way we do it is everybodythrows in like twenty bucks, right,
and then you pay for a secondthird. And my horse literally at the

(54:13):
last second was like I don't wantCasey to have money, so it fell
out a third. So sorry aboutthat. It's all a conspiracy against me.
Man, all right, all right, appreciate Okay, all right,
there you go raced agic from theWeather Channel. Yeah. I was like,
oh, it was just it wasjust my money back. But still
like, come on man, theexcitement for two minutes and nothing there although

(54:37):
the hats, can we stop itwith the hats? Can't? I under
I'm gonna probably take flak for this, but you know that that tradition is
literally like that's a holdover British thing, right because they have I camera what
they call it over in the UK. It's a big damn deal where they

(54:57):
all show up and it's you know, hats and they have to have a
special suit and the ladies hat likeit's a holdover kind of British thing,
and like, so we don't needthat because I find it wildly distracting.
Then when all the little cutesy hostsare running around with obni the obnoxious hats,
like, we don't have to dothat. We won, right,
so we won. Let's let's figureout the Julip thing can stay. The

(55:22):
hats gotta go. But because youknow, we claim victory before the British
what was it somebody said they blewa thirteen colony lead, we can change
our hats. Okay, all right, there you go seven forty six eight
eight eight nine three four seven eightseven four if you want to defend hats.
More audio coming up next. Hangon a c O Day radio program,

(55:44):
I mentioned the British too, Iwas probably mentioned this. So they
had a they had a guy bythe who was what party? Okay,
Green party, but this is theBritish Green Party who was elected in Leeds
and at his victory party starts shoutingalawa akbar, which you know contextually can

(56:12):
be fine. The problem is thisdude, and this was known to voters,
put out like social media victory videos. On October seventh like cheering on
what happened, and this dude justgot elected. And then somebody had a

(56:35):
stat and I was kind of Ididn't search every aspect of it, but
enough to satisfy me that it's probablymostly right that in all major British cities
now or like top fifteen or whateverthey have like twelve or fifteen that they
consider their major city, every singleone, either the mayor or the majority

(56:55):
of the council and council online partiesare Muslim now. And you know,
when you consider the total population ofthe UK and the Muslim population, it
is way higher than than the percentagethere. And how like how a dude

(57:17):
who's who's literally like, yeah,you get you get those party goers and
then you elect that guy that iswild to me, man, absolutely crazy.
So yeah, that is uh,that's just since I mentioned the UK,
thought i'd bring that little nugget up. All right, let's get to
uh, let's get to uh someof the call or call some of the

(57:38):
audio rather, Oh man, wheredo we start? Well, let's go
ahead and start here, shall we. So the May the fourth right Saturday
obviously one of the UH. Irefer to it as the nerd high holies

(57:59):
that and pied A get very excited. But you know that's fine. And
what a weekend you got May fourth, and then say cold a mile May
fifth, right, they and itlanded perfectly on a weekend you could go
out and probably have a pretty goodtime, maybe some of you did.
And it all would have been fineuntil Mark Hamill showed up in the White

(58:19):
House and uh, well, youknow I called him. This is him
kind of kicking off the press briefing. He standing next to Jean Pierre,
who in a later photo the twowould have the most awkward hug I've seen
in a while. But anyway,I'm sorry, let's listen to uh luke
here. Well, you know Icalled him mister president. He said,

(58:42):
you can call me Joe, andI said, can I call you?
Joebi wan Kenovi the fourth be withyou always. That's a little Biden's little
tag. There's beause there's him doingthat, and then there's him in the
Oval office with a weirdly close littlelike video being taken. But okay,
all right, whatever. Yeah,half the time when Hollywood schmoozes with political

(59:06):
people, it's a little cringey because, for whatever reason, and they both
have to be charismatic, but someof them aren't or they should be usually
and then it's just this weird thing. So that's going on there, and
I'm like, oh man, thatwas but I think a lot of that's
colored by Mark Hamill is an incessantturd on social media, and it's just

(59:30):
annoying because there's no reason for it. Also, what happened to his neck
in the one video? Doesn't looklike he has a neck, So I
thought that that was going to beit, but God blessed Justin Trudeau,
who himself had to put out alittle video for May the fourth, and

(59:50):
this is this is what we get. He's sitting at the desk bones he
by the way, does that looklike a presidential or does that look like
the desk in our boss's office?Right like you know our dad, you
know, you want to talk abouthead of state's desks. United States has

(01:00:13):
a pretty good one. Pretty goodone got secret compartments. There's treasure in
there, I mean, or therewas some guy took it, but you
get my and he's just sitting therelike he's middle management. So I'm sorry,
back to this. I hate thatring Tom, not just on him.

(01:00:37):
But hey, Hayden, how youdoing, Prime Minister? And to
you too, all right, sohe couldn't even get Luke on the phone,
right, so he's got Hayden Christiansen, who obviously spoiler Luke's father.

(01:00:58):
So uh, anyway, all right, continue, my friend. I've actually
told the kids they better be bingingStar Wars amazing and so oh I'm working.
I'm actually packing up my stuff causeI got to hit the road soon.
But listen, May the Fourth bewith you. I think you get

(01:01:27):
the gist of it. We'll tweetit out. We'll tweet it out.
You could check it out. Yousee both of them, because I did
tweet the the Hammil thing too.So I don't know, man, I
understand. I understand that I shouldbe thankful because at the very least,
it kind of gets us away from, you know, really the deepest of
politics, except for the fact thatI don't know Christiansen his thing. But

(01:01:52):
Hammil is very political. So Ithink people received it that way, and
it's like, can't we just justlet people have stuff? Okay? Yeah,
it was Uh, it was busy, busy, busy over the weekend
of the world of Sports and theworld of protesters. Here's a young man
who just can't understand how the policewho are literally physically extracting him and his

(01:02:15):
cohorts, uh, just can't understandhow they would interrupt this educational experience.
Listen to this and tell me ifyou're a BS detectors going on which,

(01:02:36):
by the way, up to thatpoint, where is exactly what people are
thinking looking at him and his friends? This is a school. What are
you doing? But hold on,He's going to flip the script. Learn
I kind of learn about public health? Is that Okay? I didn't I
didn't study public health? That isthis one of the requirements. I mean,

(01:02:59):
it might be considering some of theseprofessors literally will give students extra credit
for Also, I feel like thisdiscuss. You saw the after the photos
of UCLA after they re the protesters, and it's just destroyed. Right,
There's crap everywhere. There's quite literallycrap in some places everywhere. I don't

(01:03:22):
know why, there is this thingthat always happens with these moonback protests,
but eventually they start going feral.Give you an example. Do you remember
when they occupied the Wisconsin legislature overI think that particular vote was over the
government unions, right, and theydecided they were going to occupy the legislature

(01:03:46):
and immediately because you have to knowin Wisconsin, like a lot of the
you know a lot of cold weatherplaces is there's tunnel systems, and in
Wisconsin it happens to be a aboveground so you can kind of see like
they look like Gerbil tubes man andthat. Then people all the protesters were
just going there and do their business, and at UCLA doing that too.

(01:04:11):
It's just, ugh, how isthat from a public health perspective? As
somebody who is educated in that,how why would you hang out there?
You should have the knowledge to knowthat this is not that's not a very
healthy environment. But whatever, allright, So there's that, and then
we started seeing these videos and I'llgive you my favorite example of those who

(01:04:36):
couldn't make it to the protest butstill wanted to let folks know that they
stand by them. And it's it'sdumb. Here we go. My name
is Case and I graduated from calPoly Humboldt in twenty twenty two with the
Masters in Sociology. Protesters of calPoly humbler have taken over students are pre

(01:05:01):
named into Fataho okay one speaking tothe mic person, I don't know if
it's nay them or whatever. Andby the way, the protesters at cal
Poly Humboldt took over and decimated insidethe buildings of graffiti, busting everything off

(01:05:23):
the wall. It was wanton destruction. But anyway, so what this person
is ripping up is they have adegree that they've received from one of the
cal Poly schools. So it isthe paper degree that this individual's ripping up.
And eventually, well, well let'slisten in it's for twenty second to
demand and Israel's genocide in Gaza anduniversity's role in the occupation of Palestine.

(01:05:49):
Protesters at cal Poly Humble demand thatthe university de escalates by calling off police
and ensuring no academic consequences for studentsinvolved. That the university disclose and divest
their financial investments in the Zionist apartheidstate, and that the university calls for

(01:06:10):
an immediate, permanent ceasefire in Gaza. Yeah, you get to your sacrifice.
Calupoly Humble administration has refused negotiations andinstead continues to escalate the situation by
criminalizing protesters family. So today I'mburning my diploma in solidarity with the brave
protesters of cal Poly, humble andacross the so called US who refuse to

(01:06:32):
back down, and incomplete solidarity withthe people of Palestine. Okay, all
right? Do you you know?And and then they proceed to rip it
into little shreds and uh, ENLiGHTit, light it aflame. You know
that that doesn't that doesn't mean anything, right, Like if you let's say,

(01:06:57):
uh, let's say you have aa doctorate from Harvard, Ross,
I have a Do I have adoctorate from Harvard? We'ress gonna look that
up real quick. Yeah, soa check and you do not? I
do not? Okay, all right, let's say I did and then I
lost the diploma. You don't evenhave to burn it. This is I
couldn't find moved and then I couldn'tfind it. You know that doesn't mean

(01:07:19):
that I have to like go backto school, right, No, I'm
pretty sure. I'm pretty much sure. It means it's over right, I
have to if I want another dieSo if I want to be a doctor
again, I have to go andput the time in. Is that how
it works? So? Yeah,yeah, I don't. I don't think
that's that's not at all how itworks. You're still that so okay,

(01:07:39):
now you have to now what areyou out. I don't know what the
replacement costs on one of those isfrom school. Some universities will replace them,
some have a fee, right,okay, so what the hell are
you talking about. It's like whenpeople burn their jerseys or whatever and you
can go buy another one. Yeah, although, but they do that symbolically

(01:08:00):
and this I understand that there's symbolismhere, But that's sports. This is
life, do you know what I'msaying? And for some people, sports
is life. Like I remember whenfar I've talked about it. I remember
when FARV came to Minnesota and likeover Wisconsin, all of these bars would
like have far of memorabilia burning nightsand it was very amusing to watch,

(01:08:25):
as as you know, the froma rivalry perspective. Plus, we would
call bars and randomly uh uh andthen randomly asked to talk to people,
right, and and listening to drunkpackers fans explain why they're burning. It's
just funny. But I don't thinkthey're delusional people at the end of the

(01:08:47):
day. Rights, it's just kindof their response whatever. But in reality,
like this person believes they're making adifference and you're not. You could
just go get that or at theRoss's play, you just go get another
jersey, go on NFL dot com. I mean, but like, this
person thinks they're making a difference,and in reality, what was the degree

(01:09:10):
into by the way, it wasthe humanity? Was it a humanities degree
or something? Hold on, Igotta find it here, Like what whatever
will the world here? We go? Yeah? No, it was a
Masters of Sociology. I mean,what will this world do without another university
at California University Masters of Sociology degreeholder? I don't I don't know that

(01:09:34):
we can go on, or maybeit changed your mind, you're like,
wow, look at the bravery ofthis individual burning this piece of paper that
they can order a new one ofonline. They're so brave. But the
funniest moment, hands down, andall the protesters are insanity, and boy,
this is like, you know,one of the rules if you're a
politician is never hold up a whitepiece of paper, right, even if

(01:09:57):
there's something written on it, becausenow you're a meme. Biden just did
oh what did he did? Hedid one the other day what was it?
He tweeted that mental health thing.Yeah, he's like mental health is
health or something, right, andand tweeted it unironically by the way,
or his people did. But itwas on like a white graphic and it
immediately and it had his signature underit, and immediately even the most basic

(01:10:20):
photoshop person, now you have ameme, and now there's a meme generator
for it. And in that sameway, I think that people have brilliantly
noticed that if you have these thesegods of protesting, some moss protesters standing
there at e lectern right, youknow, rallying the crowd, but they

(01:10:40):
have their big stupid mass on,you can make them say whatever you want
because you can't see the lips movingbecause they have their their their their brave
mass on, which is totally abouthealth and not about hiding identities. And
somebody mocked up this video of thesetwo women at Colombia and like they did,

(01:11:00):
so I'll tell you what's so perfectabout it, because again you can't
see the lips moving, but thegestures and mannerisms of the women fits with
the language so well, Like there'sa part I'm a play it for you,
but I want you to watch it. There's a part where because one's
standing next to the one doing thetalking, and the speaker transitions into this

(01:11:26):
part that you're gonna hear about howJewish students have all these friends, and
then there is a quick nodding ofagreement by the other individuals. So they
perfectly timed this. It's very welldone. Here's the here's the audio.
By the way, So the mainreason that we're protesting today has to do
with the fact that nobody has everinvited us to any keggers on or off

(01:11:49):
campus. We've never been invited toany parties. We've never even been looked
at by any men. I meanI used to be into men, but
then I decided that it would beeasier to be non binary. So these
are the main reasons that we areagainst Israel. It is also really frustrating
that many of the Jewish students atthe school seem to have large friend groups

(01:12:10):
and are able to meet people andhave fun and have a good time,
and we just see that as colonialismat play. So without colonialism, we
would be able to level the playingfield and make sure that students like us
would be the center of attention asopposed to popular people. Okay, all
right, so you know, obviouslyit's an encapsulation of an argument that we've

(01:12:34):
talked about here that people make.It's like, why this is this seems
like a group for people who can'tdon't fit into any other groups. And
and I don't know, I don'tthink that that's one hundred percent false when
when you see some of this stuff, right, like the that weird ren
Fair couple we had last week's audio, so, like said, very well

(01:13:00):
done. I'm concerned though, ina in a in a world with so
much better AI and everything else outthere, when people should be naturally suspicious
of anything. Even leading up tothis, the number of people who thought
that was real and it's not justa testament to how well done it is,
like you can't see the lips moving, the mannerisms fit with what they're
saying and all that. But atno point did I look at that and

(01:13:26):
go, oh, that's probably them. And I was blown away by the
number of there's still there's still peopleeven after I said, well, come
on, it's obvious that come on, dude, the mic clarity is like
way too yes, and that wellthat I started thinking that maybe for you
and I it's easier because you're right, it doesn't match. If think about
what you normally hear when somebody's standingoutside and there's a crowd, even if

(01:13:46):
they're speaking, there's a crowd,noise, there's wind, there's all these
things. And the quality of theaudio was clearly recorded on a on a
very good mic in in a room, and then they did mix a little
background in, but no, hellno. And then people are getting mad
at me though it's not that obvious, and I'm like, dude, if
you can't figure this out, theinternet's not for you, cause you're gonna

(01:14:10):
get duped a lot and end upfinancing your waterbed. It's what you're gonna
do. What who would do thatfor? Is it? But it's probably
zero percent APR? Right? No, it's a super high APR. Oh
man, that's that's I can't believeanyone would do that. What do you
do with thinking that's real? Comeon, you get it. But it's
really well done. I would encourageyou to check it out because it is

(01:14:31):
that all right, let me uh, let me pull out of that for
just a month. Oh I gotit. No, I'm sorry. I
I promised you the Trump ad.Let me do that first, because I
want to talk about a couple oflocal stories. But uh so Google initially
said, hey, we're not gonnarun this ad. I'm gonna play the
ad for you. It's a womanwho is sitting in like a campaign office
making calls. Is a call bank? Okay, that's standard stuff that unfortunately

(01:14:56):
has already begun infiltrating our life.By the way, how many of you
raise your hand, have now hadmultiple people cold call you for polling stuff,
for to ask you questions that's alreadystarted. I had like two last
week. I'm on the apparently I'mon the hell list. But so it's
that scenario. And she's reached avoter who has been a Democrat voter previously.

(01:15:18):
Right, she's just working down thelist, make sure we have your
support, and the following conversation takesplace. Oh and with the Biden campaign.
Yeah, yeah, I'm voted forBiden last time. That's fantastic,
is it? Everything costs more?Foo gus rent? Okay, but Biden's
helping pay rent for newcomers to Americafrom around the world. You mean illegal
immigrants. I'm struggling to pay mybills, but Biden's paying rent for illegals.

(01:15:42):
They get handouts and I'm paying forit. But Biden can still count
on your vote. Right, thingswere better before Biden. I'm voting for
Trump, Take America great again.INCO's responsible for the content of this advertising.
Okay, all right, so it'snot it's not some groundbreaking ad,
but it is. I think it'sa proper way of packaging what is a
I think going to be a bigthing to watch in this election, right,

(01:16:03):
traditional voting patterns based on different demographics, and like, if you look
at the polling and you look atthe concerns out there, Democrats are very
concerned. Now you know what Ithink of polling, So who the hell
knows, But as soon as westart laying votes down, we'll know or
at least have a good idea,and then everyone can accuse everyone of switching

(01:16:26):
stuff. But it's not some groundbreakingad. And Google was like, nah,
you can't, We're not going torun that, and they have reversed
it. And I think their objection, right was over the term illegal immigrant.
But if that is a hard andfast rule and then you reverse it,
is it really a hard and fastrule? And that play because they

(01:16:48):
wouldn't do it. It ended upeverywhere. It was Saturday. It was
the only thing on social media,it felt like, outside of the student
protests. But they have since sincereversed, and I think that that probably
I don't know if it's going tomove the needle, but it probably encapsulates

(01:17:08):
what is the attitude of a lotof folks who have voted previously and are
looking at what's going on? Allright, eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four what is goingon in wake Forest? I was just
reading this story. We'll get intothe details of that and the World's Worst
Drunk Driver all coming up. Hangon, Well, there was a few

(01:17:30):
videos. The majority of what yousee as you see, you know,
protesters, counter protesters, folks embracingthe frat boys summer thing. And then
you see one of the hamas protesters. This really like a bigger black lay
a black girl, and people werescreaming Lizzo at her. To be fair,

(01:17:53):
she was screaming other stuff at themtoo, and you and like that
was that was really how they playedit out at a lot of the Southern
universities. But if in one ofthe videos, while that's going on,
the person with the with the camerakind of pans over to the people yelling
at her, and one of theguys there makes a gesture like a monkey

(01:18:15):
gesture. Right, Okay, Andand I just want to be I want
to be abundantly clear that is thatis a racist thing. Okay, don't
call and argue with me. Youknow that you know that it is.
And and so I have no problemif the university says, look, that
violates our code of conduct, whichis what they're saying because they've opened investigation.

(01:18:38):
But here's the issue. It's notjust them. The Department of Education
and others have also are also lookinginto it. Headlines abounded over the weekend.
They'll just give you a smatter andhere NBC News Ole Miss opens conduct
investigations. This was before the wegot the Department of Ed. Person weighed
in, uh fraternity Boots broke ohwho made monkey noises at ole Miss,

(01:19:01):
a black Ole Miss protester. SoI have no I have no problem from
a code of conduct standpoint of that. That's just that's dumb. And yes,
you know the thing that I say, is it show me real racism?
And I'm there that is Is itthe worst racism that i've ever know,
and but still like that it's notI don't care if you're just a

(01:19:27):
college kids, you know what's up? My problem is this If that is
a problem, and I agree thatit is. I think the part where
like, did you see an MITover the weekend? They were chanting and
they one of the chants is halfin English and half in Arabic, and
so on the English side they wouldsay something like, let's you know,

(01:19:51):
we have to remove all the zionor no, all the Zionists need to
be removed, and then in Arabicthe translation actually that they would use is
death to the Zionists, which isessentially death to the Jews, because I
say, well, it's just aboutthe Zionists, right, but that's Israel,

(01:20:14):
right. So it's like, andI don't know if you if you
know the population makeup of Israel,like, you're not hiding this, and
yet that's not a code of conductviolation. Now, different universities are different.
You can't compare what Old miss didor UNC did, what UCLA or
god forbid Columbia did. But assoon as you know, outside powers start

(01:20:34):
taking notice because this is unacceptable,then I expect the totality of it to
be labeled unacceptable. But no,does that make sense, right, Punish
the kid. If it's a violationof code of conduct, which it looks
like it is, go do that. Do that within your university system.
It's not illegal what he did.It's you could call it dumb, or

(01:20:58):
you could call it racist, youcall all of that stuff, but you
can't then ignore Remember the remember thesign that dude was holding one or no,
it was a woman holding a signwhere there was Jewish counter protesters and
their sign says hey, Hamas,like here's your next victims. I don't
know, is that not a codeof conduct violation? I'm very confused with

(01:21:19):
this stuff. So, uh anyway, let mean uh that that story and
then the one about the h theauditing firm that Trump's company, along with
literally hundreds and hundreds of other companiesused. They're like one of the biggest
out there. Uh they they theygot smacked hard with some some SEC violations

(01:21:42):
and whatnot. And the headlines allread Trump's auditing company, which it's like,
it's not his, it's the onethat he used. That's like I
used to we used to have howmany of you had MCI long Distance or
whatever, what was the big companythat we found out with the Arthur Anderson
thing was just a big scam thatworld come or doesn't matter. But that's

(01:22:03):
like saying, if you had theirphone service, you're somehow complicit. It's
just the dumbest thing. And thereason that they included Trump's is obvious.
But normally in a story like that, you wouldn't include one of their customers.
And the reason is is because froma journalism perspective, you would realize

(01:22:24):
that it might give the false impressionthat they were somehow complicit or had knowledge
in it. And they were veryclear in their statement that Trump was not
or his company was not. They'renot accused of anything here. They just
hired one of the big firms andturns out that there was shenanigans going on,
and there were hundreds and hundreds ofother companies that also use this firm.

(01:22:45):
So but you got to do thatto distract from the rest of the
insanity that's out there. Meanwhile,closer to home, I was interested in
this story because I think I wastalking about neighborhoods and communities around the Triad
triangle where you know, the generalimpression is that it's it's gonna be a
much safer environment. It's very familyoriented. They have a lot of stuff.

(01:23:08):
There are a lot of programs,sports for the kids, good schools,
all that. I think wake Forestis there. I mean, the
biggest beef I hear about wake Forestis the size of some of the developments
and then the traffic that ensues.Ross lives in wake Forest. What I
say, I say, just stopit stop. But what do you mean
stop the building? Stop it?Okay, Oh, we've had enough.

(01:23:29):
You're all out of it. We'reout of buildings. Ross has no more
sun. So he's personally affected byone of these buildings. But but that's
that's, you know, in thegrand scheme of things. That's a good
problem to have, if you know, to be known for, you know,
as far as bad things go,Like, it's just there's a lot
of it's busy because they keep buildingnew stores and and play you know,
stuff for the stuff for families togo to. All right, fine,

(01:23:54):
However, they also have an event. I'm gonna be very careful because I
had a little slip on his it'scalled Friday Night on White Am I correct
on that? Yeah? So thisis okay, And this is like a
lot of communities. This is somethingthat happens during the you know, the
warmer months, and uh, herewe go April, between April and September,
and basically downtown on White Street islike a little open air party.

(01:24:17):
They got concerts, they got youknow, various stores are embracing it and
they're you know, people are strollingand walking and I I, admittedly I've
never been up to one of theseevents, but you know, it sounds
pretty similar, except now they're strugglingbecause it's also being seen as a babysitter.
The town of wake Forest has announcedthey're considered implementing a curfew and other

(01:24:41):
changes because, according to the town, parents just drop off the big bus
loads of teenagers who then run aroundand cause problems. In fact, they
say that the unintended teens numbers hasgrown exponentially and that they're looking at a
curfew with this in this is whatballs dealt with, right, because the

(01:25:01):
people had just dropped them, allthe kids off, right, And and
when you're a teenager, a gatheringpoint for you and all your friends.
I like, I get that wehad we had a parking lot in town
when we were in high school andeveryone kind of cruised the main street and
there's a parking lot we could pullin and talk to people, and you
know, you create your own fun. But we all we weren't running around

(01:25:23):
uh doing uh doing crime and stuffand uh harassing families and uh there are
multiple fights, merchants reporting uh teenagerswalking in and just being obnoxious and stealing
stuff in some cases. And sothey're gonna have to get into this.
And I got to admit, that'snot at all what I thought of when
I pictured this thing in wake Forest. It's ridiculous the event or what it's

(01:25:46):
been. We've been like, youknow, I live like right there.
Yeah, you're a very where youcan hear it. It is super loud
and Lincoln has hard time sleeping anight. They're supposed to stop music a
nine o'clock and it just goes andit's super loud, and the traffic is
ever. There used to be abig parking lot over by the CVS on
White Street where you could park.Yeah, that is that's not existent anymore

(01:26:10):
because they're building what like like Imentioned, they just keep building, they
build it. They're building these newtownhouses. So that's eliminated that parking.
So we had issues before people willjust like park in front of our driveway
or park in front of our house, and it's just not a fan,
have not been a fan. Andit's just now I'm concerned about Yeah,
the children, So we need tostop this event because of the safety of

(01:26:32):
the children. Has nothing to dowith me, right, sleeping house are
yeah? Right now? Yeah?No, fine, man, you're a
big You've always been passionate for thekids, like the Lambo for the kids
and all this stuff. Yeah,yeah, you're a you're a fighter.
So all right, so you justthink so it's not even the one issue.
You just want the whole thing togo completely. It's impossible to drive

(01:26:57):
past that way because they shut downall the roads to drive around the stupid
thing. Like I said, yeah, I'm not one who would generally go
to something like this for all thereasons, but the parking and oh the
parking across the driveway thing. Dude, No, it's so annoying. Who
who does well you have eyes?Right, you drove like people live here,
man, like people we live here. You know, my house is

(01:27:17):
across from an elementary school and carcar line is an issue. Sometimes cause
the car line will line up andthey're blocking not just my drive everyone's driveway.
Uh you know in there, somedon't. Some parents do the thing
just like you wouldn't block an intersectionwhere they kind of wait. But the
number of times where I I Ieven had a conversation with a woman and

(01:27:40):
she just looked at me like andthen points to the school. It was
a nonverbal It was across point tothe school, and I'm like, I
understand, you're here to pick upyour kid. You're about to get rammed.
What is wrong with you? Soall right? Never mind? Ross
got me on his angry train.I'm here for it. Raced Agic is
from the Weather Channel and also isprobably annoyed when people partially across his driveway.

(01:28:01):
What's up there? Hey? Butyeah, we had a spot to
where we park that we behaved ourselvesmost of the time. Oh good,
okay, yeah most of the time. Anyway. Really not gonna see no
a lot in the way of sunshinetoday. A little clouds, mist and
fog still be reported in some spots. This morning. Showers off to the
west started to come in slowly.I think the safternoon so widely scattered showers,

(01:28:26):
a few thundershowers in today's forecast,and I think that's going to be
the rule through maybe even the entireweek, scattered areas of showers thunderstorms.
A change coming will be warmer temperaturesat first and actually getting hot humid here
midweek and then cooling off a bit, so a few showers thunderstorms, especially
the safterdoona and this evening upper seventiesto low eighties today, showers and thunderstorms.

(01:28:46):
Tonight, the stronger storms may havesome downpours once again, and Tomorrow
will have some showers thunder showers middaythrough the afternoon, with some partial sun
mid to maybe some upper eighties,so starting to feel some of that heat.
It could be close to ninety inspots Wednesday and again in the afternoon,
some shower stutterstorms in the forecast beforewe start late week, maybe by
Friday of the weekend cooling off.I want to get to the weekend only

(01:29:11):
because I think it's going to beso pleasant around here that we may forget
all about this warm and increasingly warmtemperatures and committing around. By the weekend,
we may only have highs in theseventies with maybe some of the low's
case seed down into the upper forties, especially from the Triad west into the
mountains. So I gotta get anice little break from the on to get
off again. Shower stutterstorms this week, wait till the weekend, there should
be much improved. All right,thank you, sir, and we'll talk

(01:29:34):
tomorrow. Have we go on?Okay, we'll come back with Jeff Bellinger.
Hang on, well, good morning, casey. News of an April
slow down in job growth renewed investorshopes for interest rate cuts. Tech stocks
led a Friday rally on Wall Street, and the futures point to a continuation
of that rally. This morning.The now futures are up one hundred and
sixty three points. We get morejob market news little over an hour from

(01:29:57):
now the conference board. We're releasedat some lament trends index. It's a
forward looking index and it may offersome clues to the face of hiring in
the months ahead. Warren Buffett sayscorporations can expect their federal tax bills to
rise. Buffett spoke over the weekendat Berkshire Hathaway's annual meeting in Omaha.
He said Washington is preparing for majortax negotiations next year, lawmakers are going

(01:30:20):
to be looking to shrink the federaldeficit. Buffett also advocates higher taxes for
wealthy individuals. Starbucks' former chief executivehas some advice to the coffee chain,
which posted the first decline in salesince the early days of the pandemic.
In a LinkedIn post, Howard Schaltzurged Starbucks to fix its operations and own

(01:30:41):
the shortcoming without the slightest semblance ofan excuse. Directors of Paramount Global reportedly
decided over the weekend to consider allbuyout offers, and exclusive window for sky
Dance to negotiate a deal expired onFriday. Now, The New York Times
says Paramount has agreed to open talkswith a buyout group led by Sony Pictures
and Apollo Global. You Casey.Employees of Daimler Truck ratified a new four

(01:31:05):
year contract. Negotiators for Daimler Truckfrom the United Auto Workers hammered out the
deal last month, among other things, that will raise workers wages more than
twenty five percent. This is apack that covers workers in North Carolina,
Tennessee, and Georgia. Casey allright, thank you sir, appreciate it.
We'll talk tomorrow. Okay, havea good date, take care.

(01:31:26):
Right there you go. Jeff Bellinger, CaCO Dave Radio program. Let me
quick update on this. So youremember the video of the student in Winston
Salem smacking that teacher a couple times, and actually there was another incident in

(01:31:46):
the January, February and then Aprilwas that. So like that's two dips
at the well where a student hasput hands on a teacher and the first
time wasn't enough. So now obviouslywith the viral video, the second time
that got people, that got peoplenoticing, well the student is now charged

(01:32:10):
as an adult with like some bigtime felonies. Yeah. And I did
see some some of the you know, defund the police people who are upset.
They're like this is this is theprison pipeline all this, and it's
like, I, you know what, okay, right, because it also
tells other students all of the crapthat you can get away with in our

(01:32:33):
modern educational system does not include physicallyassaulting a teacher. And you know,
we've had some crazy videos. Wehad that one here and then we had
I remember that big student who hadhis his what was it, like,
a play a little handheld gaming systemtaken away and pummeled that teacher out in

(01:32:56):
the hallway. It was a femaleteacher, right, So yeah, I'm
okay with this that people are like, Oh, Jim O'Neill's just doing this
because he's running for office. Yourmind, he's in the runoff, which
is what next week. Next weekis the runoff for lieutenant governor. But
I don't know that that's like JimO'Neill is Jim O'Neill, Like he's been

(01:33:16):
around politics enough here you kind ofknow where he stands, and I think
people are outraged at that. So, yes, he is a seventeen year
old facing among you know, felonyassault and kidnapping. I believe it's one
of the charges, which again thisgoes back to not letting somebody leave a
situation. Is that strong compared towhat other students have been charged with recently?

(01:33:41):
Yeah, but I think that thatspeaks to the cowardice of some of
the other school districts and other prosecutors. You can't have the students thinking that
they can sucker punch teachers with minimallike that's so over the line. So
over the line. So yeah,I'm good with this. And you know,

(01:34:03):
I don't know if he's got othercharges. I don't know what the
background is. I've seen pictures ofhim throwing gang signs up, but like
