Episode Transcript

(00:00):
Do CaCO Day radio program, allsorts of Friday insanity for you. Pete

(00:05):
calendar, He'll be at eight ohfive and one of those weeks I'm here
at the end. I'm like,come on voice, one more day,
That's all I ask. So ifit sounds a little rough, that's what
up. But I feel fine.So okay, all right, I feel
like I'm forced to start here.So I guess here we go. Everybody

(00:29):
had a hot take, Let's getto it. OJ died, So yesterday
we got the announcement. Now peoplehad noticed he hadn't been posting those creepy
videos for like what two and ahalf months or something. They had talked
about the cancer diagnosis. So Iguess if you were paying attention, you

(00:52):
kind of realize that probably was nota good indicator. But uh yeah.
Uh six his statement from the family. Here we go. On April tenth,
our father, Arenthal James Simpson,succumb to his battle with cancer.
He was surrounded by his children andgrandchildren during this time of transition. His

(01:19):
family asked that you please respect theirwishes for privacy and grace. In another
I don't know if this was astatement, but really just like here's the
series of events. They do talkabout the diagnosis and hospice and all of
that. So again, the clueswere there. I guess I didn't realize,

(01:42):
and I'll say it, A bunchof people said it not having Norm
around for this. I mean,if if somehow, in some way maybe
you were in a coma, Idon't know, if you don't know the
legacy of Norm MacDonald Saturday Night Liveand the OJ thing, which, if

(02:09):
you knew the backstory, one ofthe muckety MUCKs at NBC, coming from
the sports side, was really goodfriends with OJ. So Norm got told,
hey, you can't make those jokes, and then he did over and
over and over the popular video andI tweeted this out yesterday. The popular

(02:32):
videos like eleven and a half minutesuper cut so kind of amazing. I
did resist the urge Ross to haveyou have to fish through all of that
this morning, or get all elevenand a half minutes up there. All
right, there are a few thingsthat are of the more serious variety that

(02:54):
I feel like maybe we should discusson this front. And I'm gonna throw
the big one out. Do youthink today he gets charged? Question number
one? Question number Two, doyou think today he gets acquitted or convicted?

(03:21):
Think about all of the other outsidepressures that if you if you do
justice without emotion as it's intended,think of it through that process and then

(03:42):
try to think what the emotions oftoday are. And I know that this
is a loaded question. I wassitting there thinking about it yesterday because it's
two different things. One does heget actually indicted and you know, to
the trial. And then two,if they do the trial, even with
the same set of evidence, right, modern technology doesn't approve or doesn't make

(04:08):
it any stronger or weaker? Doyou think acquitted or convicted? And we'll
just we'll throw that bad boy outeight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. I'll hold on towhat I kind of arrived at, probably
until we get a couple of calls. And yes, I know it's early,

(04:30):
but it's Friday. Suck it up. You got the whole weekend to
I don't know, do whatever youdo with your weekend, watch The Masters,
maybe even a drier version of it. Okay, so we'll talk a
little about that as well. Let'ssee a couple other things. Just some
of the really bad takes have toget into that. Catherine Herridge was in

(04:53):
front of Congress yesterday, and Idon't know if you want to get your
conspiracy on, it's really easy toget there when you hear what she testified
to. And we'll also figure outanother way or not us because like frankly,
hopefully nobody listening would make this decision. But another million in taxpayer money

(05:15):
just tossed in the old money hole. So prepare yourself. We'll get into
it. And like I said,audio a bunch of audio we got to
get through. It is the CaCODay radio program. Somebody wrote an email
and the subject is Wow, wokeup and chose violence of it? He
did weigh in? All right,hold on, So here's what I asked,

(05:36):
you know, in light of Ojayright after the show yesterday too.
I mean, weird how that seemsto happen Anyway, I all of that
I was thinking about yesterday. Well, among all the memes and everything that
you know was out there was Idon't know that you could argue that things

(06:02):
are less charged now than they werethen. Now, I don't get me
wrong, And I'm talking about atthe moment you had Rodney King, you
had the riots, you had allof this stuff, and as an emailer
pointed out, some of the jurorsmentioned the Rodney King thing perhaps being influential.

(06:26):
I don't know, I don't knowthat I remember that distinctly, but
I've read that so will brain assaultthat. But I mean probably probably that
factored in there. So with thatin mind, today would he be charged?

(06:46):
And today if he was, wouldhe be convicted or acquitted? All
right, so the first vote ischarged and convicted? Okay, all right,
well let's we can get some morecalls. That's we're asking you eight
eight eight nine three four seven eightseven four Dave? What's up? Hello?

(07:09):
Dave? Hey, am I on? You're on? Sir? Go
right ahead, Hey, sorry aboutthat. Listen. If the media can
make George Floyd a hear hero rightnow, then I suspect that OJ Simpson
would be at the top of theticket the presidency for the Democrats. Well

(07:31):
you've definitely set the extreme boundary onone end. But you know who the
hell knows, sir, I don'tknow. Remember Michael AVENAUGHTI was going to
be the nominee. CNN just wentand did an interview with him as an
expert in prison, So you know, what you're You know what, sir,
you are well within the balance ofmaybe all right, good, have
a good rest of your day.Do you see the Avanatti thing? You

(07:56):
know, this is the guy theybrought on there, Brian whatever. I'm
glad I forgot his name. Anyway, he brought him on more and more
than anybody and would just sit thereand just be like, you know you're
gonna make you ever thought of runningfor president? Oh, it was relentless.
I'm sure you've seen the super cuts. And then obviously have Anaudie decided,

(08:18):
hey, you know, maybe I'llgo shake Nike down because you know
they don't have a crap ton ofmoney and can destroy me. And they
did, and then some other stufftoo. But CNN literally had him on
there and they were asking him,you know, expert questions, I questions
about himself. I see. Itwas so strange, man, but you

(08:41):
know, really not and or nois it CNN or MSNBC was no,
no, no, it was MSNBCwas doing it, which is even better
because all the the Rona McDaniel stuff, You're like, no, we don't
want her who we got over inblock c oh, Michael at let's get

(09:03):
him on so yeah, it's notsurprised. And then we have this other
story. Did I put it inthe I might have put it in the
stack yesterday. All right, wellI'll figure it out. If you haven't
seen the NPR stuff, I'm aday behind on that. I just didn't
get to it. But basically,you had an editor for NPR at the

(09:26):
national level, so they're NPR Newswho was talking about what happened to that
newsroom that that night that Hillary Clintondidn't win. And you know, the
description he gives is not one wehaven't heard before. People lost their minds.

(09:50):
Man, They in an instant madea judgment to throw out you know,
whatever semblance journalistic integrity they had becausethey were so wrong, they were
so disappointed. I mean, Idon't have to explain to you how TDS
works, but it was a descriptionof a collective decision. And this guy

(10:16):
talks about here, I believe youmentioned that ninety seven or ninety eight editors
were staff within that newsroom and everysingle one was a registered Democrat. So
yeah, nothing surprises me, nottoday, not really any day. All
right, Jamal, what's up?Go right ahead. I think he would

(10:37):
be convicted today because of two thingswon the assault because when people would have
seen this assault, the me toomovement would have demanded his head. That's
number one. Number two. OJhad a lot of conservative friends, right,
not like he had liberal friends,but he also knew conservative friends.
He was the one that was tellingblack people hey. Because people make it

(11:00):
sound like OJ really was liked bythe black community at the time, he
wasn't because when he woke up fromhis wife, who was black, a
lot of people were mad at himabout that. So if today O.
J. Simpson will be found guiltyand Mark Furman and the stuff like that
would be swept up under the rug. Because all you have to do is
look at President Trump and how thelaw enforcement, how prosecutors and law enforcement

(11:26):
has done President Trump. So canI can I say something I was?
I literally agree with all of yourreasons. I think there's one other one
in there, but no, thatis right, right, mat, But
there's one other if I could throwit out and I'll let you finish money.

(11:46):
Ohj's rich, dude, Brentwood babyright, yeah, And as we
have seen now with this eat therich society, I don't know if that
would have served him well. No, when people forget no, it will
not serve him. Well. Todayhe would be convicted, he would be
locked up. Everybody would be callinghim though he was saying once that pictures,

(12:09):
those pictures came out about Nicole SimpsonBrown, and once those pictures came
out, because they came out duringthe trial that he'd hit her and he
had bruce her like that, everybodythat there would have been no support.
Men couldn't have said, well,just because he hit his wife, do
make him a murderer? Those typeargument wouldn't even been said. And knowing

(12:30):
he's rich and he was and hegrubbed nose with conservatives and Hollywood at least
and probably if I say with conservativesTrump supporter today he would be the one
that was going no Trump supporters,So he would be ostracized today. O.
J. Simpson would be guilty.The Mark Furman stuff. Nobody would
even talk about it because since he'sa rich guy and he and quote unquotes

(12:56):
and see what so he turned hisback on the black of anybody, even
his wife and Mary the white girl. They would have set Mark Furman and
stuff on my from the one evencame out to like after the trialing him
sitting in jail a second, areyou, Oh, they would have roasted
him. But see they would haveroasted him after the trial. You know
this what liberals do. They'll they'lllet you do your purpose. Like the

(13:18):
George Floyd thing. The girl whoabout the optites with George Floyd now because
she left the Ellis case. Nowshe's telling everybody, Hey, the optops.
He said he didn't die from thefixed station. He died from the
sentinel where nobody cares. Nobody cares. The Derek Shover is still sitting in

(13:39):
jail, can't get a retrial.So after after it's over and he serves
his purpose, nothing is done.Another example Clarmo up in New York.
All the old people died, allthe booty grabbing he was doing, nothing
was done until after he served hispurpose defeat Donald Trump to make Donald Trump

(14:00):
loose. Oh yeah, okay,all right, thank you, Jamal,
have a good, good weekend,sir, appreciate it. Yeah. I
don't know if I agree for allof the reasons, but you know,
none of them seem crazy. Somy thing is I sit there and look
at it, and I'm like,he's just he's a rich dude in Brentwood

(14:24):
and the abuse pictures which Jamal mentioned. I think with those two things,
dude goes to trial and probably getsconvicted. Oh there's one other component,
I guess I just thought about nowall of you insane anti semit crazy people

(14:46):
on Twitter, they would probably alsohave a Ron Goldman take, and that
would be a whole other level ofjust insane dialogue. So h it's a
thought exercise, by the way,not thumbs uping or thumbs that. People
are entitled to their opinions. That'swhy I asked the question. But that

(15:09):
is those are the two things thatweighed most heavily in my mind. Six
point thirty five Kcoday Radio program.I have a there is just something I
don't understand about this. And I'mnot sure the number that of stories we
see locally, I don't know,probably every couple months maybe, but there

(15:35):
are one thousand, five hundred andthree people I don't understand. So the
TSA put out their well, herewe go. I just want to make
sure that I have the exact spanof time here. Okay, all right,
So this is just the first quarter, so first three months January February

(15:56):
March. During that period, onaverage, sixteen and a half firearms per
day being detected a total of onethousand and five hundred and eight. I
don't know why. Oh I seehere. I don't know why the numbers

(16:19):
are. Maybe they were seized,but they weren't supposed to be. It's
a long by who the hell knows, but anyway, over fifteen hundred people.
So how how does that? Now? This is firearms, This is
not This is not firearms and ammunition. These are just the firearm numbers.

(16:41):
The amount of people caught with AMMOis its own line here. How do
you go to an airport with yourconceal? I mean, I'm assuming conceal
carries a significant number of these becauseit says ninety three percent of the firearms

(17:03):
were loaded. So I'm going tomake that assumption. How does that happen?
You know? Paranoid I am?Before I go fly over anything in
that bag? You want one straight, I won't use my one backpack that
I use for like computer and workand stuff like that. I will.

(17:26):
I would never use that to transporta firearm. Ever, I don't care
if it's you know, it's theglock and it's in it's you know,
it's case, I wouldn't do it, and I am baffled. Now here's
my question. Anybody here done this? Anybody know anybody who's done this?
The hell's going through their head?And again not on the AMMO thing.

(17:48):
I mean, I you shouldn't,but I guess I can understand. You
get a yeah, nine thousand pocketson some of these bags. Now whatever,
something slips out and falls to thebottom, and yeah, you just
don't see it. But I can'tfathom stuff like this, and uh,
I don't know why. I findit creepier than you know, a firearm.

(18:14):
But also, what's up with theone hundred and thirty eight people who
brought an axe or hatchet? Ido you think that's going through I?
I'm I'm the thing that I willacquiesce. I guess a little there is.
I think you're gonna have a higheramount of people who maybe thought they

(18:37):
could, even as insane as thatsounds, because maybe it was like a
tourist Chotski and not you know,Jason Vorhees jam. But still, what
is the I'm trying to think thelast Oh that's what it was. For
whatever reason. The cologne that Iuse, the you could the standard sized

(19:00):
bottle is under the amount that youcan have, and last time I bought
it, they sent me a largerbottle and I'm a dummy and they took
it. So I understand we makemistakes. I would never walk in with
one of my firearms closes I've cometo. This is when they were first
getting all the puffer machines going,you know, looking for bomb residue or

(19:25):
whatever. I went to the ShotShow, which is a show annually.
Sometimes it's in Florida, sometimes Vegasfor media and retailers and product manufacturers within
the shooting and hunting industry. Andthen they have another one called Icast it's
fishing. And I used to goto these every year. And I went
to a shot show and part ofShot Show is, you know, you

(19:48):
do the convention stuff, but youcan go out and blast away. Man.
They have a bunch of different stuff. So you spend a lot of
people spend that last day shooting,made the connections, You got some stuff
you want to try out. It'sfun time. Well show up to the
airport after a day out of therange, even if you change clothes.
Man. So they had to literallyput a notification in to the shots.

(20:15):
The people at the Shot show,just reminding them at the So I'm assuming
there had been a few incidents.That's it. That's as closest I've touched
that. So all right, sorry, I just I needed a dumb person.
Slot. I have some Florida manstories. But I thought the over
fifteen hundred people brought their peace.That's the thing that baffles me. We'll

(20:40):
get some calls on that. Eighteight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four. Right here we go,all right, oh good, all right,
Well I'm not good because bad,but here we go. Darryl,
what's up? Uncle D's got it? Yeah, just a dumb guy,
Slot, gotten hurried the bag.Too many pockets in the bag I differently

(21:04):
carried every day. And I justI've had to switch off. Now I
carry a clean bag for the airport, a fact that starts off with nothing.
And you know, the anxiety ofTSA is worse than worse than the
anxiety of going into beyrouthe it's it'slook and I'm with you, sir,

(21:25):
And I had to make I wasso fearful I would do that that I
have. I have a backpack onthe little forty. Those two bads are
the only ones that go to theairport. I would. I would very
much. That's what I've converted to. I got, I got there,
and I had a pocket knife.Now I lost a really good pocket knife.
Rotating back through the line a secondtime, and they dig down in

(21:48):
the bag and they find uh,you know, those bulk rounds of one
hundred bags and has about uh youknow, the bottom of the bag.
Try probably a handful of forties inthe very bottom of the bag. And
I'm like, son of them,I said, I guess there's no way
I'm going to get those back.And they just shook their heads. But

(22:10):
they didn't. They weren't cruel tome. You know, they didn't beat
me or throw me to the ground. Wait, now I'm confused. Did
you have a fun Did you bringa gun or rounds? No fire arm?
Just okay, all right, no, I know, look I I
hear you on that, and thenthen it is for that reason I'm with
you, man. Just gotta keepmall yeah, absolutely all right, it's

(22:36):
a clean bag. Many appreciate thecall there, all right, Yeah,
I was, because I thought hewas saying on the call screener he brought
a gun. Oh wait, holdon, now we got people giving evidence
in their own trial. Okay,all right, Paul, what's up?
What's going on? I don't know. I would want the unlucky, uh

(22:59):
stupid slot people who brought a backpackthrough TSA with a loaded hand on one
of the chamber. I was alittle distracted packing. Yeah, no,
that's why I got broken an ankle. The originally broken an ankle, and
took them back back with me thatI had taken camping, but I had

(23:19):
a gun buried in the bottom.Didn't realize it. But the TSA they
found it. And what did theydo? Yeah? What is they don't
care about it that at that point? What did they do to you?
I mean, well, they tookthem be an arrested because I had a
concealed carry, so okay, butI ended up paying a nice five thousand
dollars fine, So yeah, that'sthat was Okay, that was gonna be

(23:42):
the horribleness I wanted to know.I'm assuming they kept the gun or did
you get it back? No,they actually walked me back to the parking
lot and put the gun with myAMMO in my glove box. Okay,
all right, well yeah, andthen I made my flight, so showed
up to the airport early in casethis. Thanks for me. You tell
anyone when you're sitting around the airportwaiting for a kanashi, I tried to

(24:03):
bring a gun in today, butnow you probably just kept that. No,
I did not tell anybody that.I just looked quiet. Yeah,
probably best. Sorry, Paul,Thanks thanks for the call man. Yeah,
mum's the word on that. Youknow, get a little loose lip
at the American Airlines lounge and nowthey're locking things down. Chris on the

(24:26):
OJ question, what's up? Hey, good morning, Casey. So I'm
going to say acquitted because it'd bethe same outcome if you look at the
irony of the situation. O.J. Simpson kills two white people and
he's acquitted, while Derek Chauvin doesn'tkill anybody and he's put in jail with
some makeshift with trial. I don'tcare what anybody says. It doesn't take

(24:49):
nine minutes to choke somebody I've beenin. If you think he's going to
be acquitted, hold on, Ijust want to clarify you. So you
would think you'd be acquitted, butyou also think he would be charged.
No, I don't think he'd becharged at all. I think it'd be
the same situation because of his skincolor. I've been in the same situation
as George Floyd when you fight people, even when it doesn't matter if they're

(25:10):
a cop or not. If youfight people and you're not strong enough to
win, you're gonna get beat down. But they're not showing the George.
They're not showing George Floyd video wherehe was crying in the back of the
cop car. Please don't let medie alone. I just ate all these
drugs, you know what I mean. So you know, it's a really
sad situation with what's happened with withwith race and everything, and no one
can just be the same. AndI'm really getting sick and tired of it,

(25:32):
to be honest with you. Doyou think it was bad? You
think it was as bad in thatera of post Rodney King going into OJ
as it is now, or doyou think it's worse I was. I
was living in LA I wasn't inLA. I was in Santa Cruz during
the La riots, and you know, it wasn't fun there either. People
are still even white people like,hey, let's just trash the city.
And I'm like, I mean thetown of Santa Cruz. It doesn't make

(25:53):
any sense. So, I meanwhat the people did in LA was just
acting like children, thinking that youknow that they can do all this because
of the leadership there. Let themdo it, and you know the cops
or hands are tied. When yougot the mayor saying nope, don't touch
them. You know, what canyou do? It's there's a lot of
and thank you very much for thecall, sir. There's there's a lot

(26:15):
of similarities, but there's also alot of differences. I just I feel
like maybe there was a window therethat, you know, kind of did
have that vibe. I don't know. Look, I'm a kid, and
I'm a kid in school. Iremember sitting there watching the verdict. You
know, they they stopped what wewere doing. Man, all right,

(26:36):
here we go or watch it.We watched some of the trial during the
day, Like my pe teacher geta little lazy, you guys watch on
Schenectady a mister Rosen's biology class.Yeah right, I remember always the teachers
who were like, hey, let'sdo this instead. He's a very cool
teacher, but he was also lookingback, I think he was actually sort
of conservative, right, and likeI remember his reaction to the verdict was

(26:57):
like really, like, that's theone that really stands out my mind is
like the teachers that couldn't believe it, that dude could not believe it.
The I didn't get you know.One of the things that people have talked
about is watching the verdict and watchingthe trial in a room with people of

(27:18):
multi backgrounds, right so, andand you know they like, what was
the office they did the It wasone of the tech companies, or not
one of the tech companies, butone of the early tech companies, not
Silicon, but it was up inWashington and they they were doing a documentary
or they were filming something there andthen the guy just thought to shoot the

(27:38):
reaction of all of the you know, the people there as this was unfolding,
and it was so wildly different.And I grew up Wyoming there there
were no We had no black studentsat that time. Uh yeah, d
would have come the year later.We had we had one one guy who

(27:59):
was on the Faul team. Itwas a running back for he was very
very good. So uh but yeah, before that, so I didn't have
that component obviously up in Schenectady.That's a pretty I'm assuming your biology class
is pretty integrated. Okay completely,Yes, was that vibe a parent?
No, the vibe was from thestudents. Yeah, yeah, it doesn't
matter what your race were, wasat least not in my class or we

(28:22):
were all like really the result actionwas really like everybody. Yeah. I
always wondered if maybe that I becauseI remember watching it. I wish I
may have to find that video.I didn't even think of it till today.
But I also felt like the guywas juicing him like a reality show
producer. So well, No,I've heard it said before that people feel
like OJ Simpson, not intentionally,but he sort of invented reality television.

(28:48):
Yeah. Yeah, I mean ifyou could say it was Cops before then
or whatever, But that was thebig, first big event that I remember
where it felt like reality television,like you're watching it all play out in
real time. I read an articleone time about how we have this where
we come and go in in uh, the society here in the US following
the advent of television, where wellactually radio is in this too, where

(29:12):
we get a flavor for it andthen it fades away, like if you
go back like Nuremberg, you goback to some of that. You go
to the civil rights stuff. There'san era where everyone kind of gets into
following trials, uh, you know, via radio or television, and then
you get up to the OJ era, and for you and me, that
was the big Hey, everybody wantto watch a guy on trial and it

(29:34):
kick things off obviously. So allright, let me, oh crap,
look at the clock. All right, hang on, everybody, we'll get
more calls coming up. KCO DayRadio program. All right, everybody's got
their everybody's sending me all their oops. I almost brought it to the airport,
but you didn't. And that's what'simportant. Yeah, that that confuses

(29:56):
me. I'll tell you what confusesme as if I go to a gun
store arranged and the got a busbarrel in front hearing that thing happen,
right, how did you get thereand and fire into that because you're unable
to determine your firearms loaded? It'sanother story for another daily Grab one more
call this hour and it's Greg.What's up Greg the morning? Casey Ross,

(30:21):
longtime listener, love your show.I just think y'all should hire Jamal
Though I love Jamal listen to him, but I've been one of the first
year that North Carolina had the characteruntil permit, and I know, ever
since I got my character sil permit, I've always carried my pistol with me
all the time, always know whereit is, and I've never ever even

(30:47):
came close to carrying into an airportor even a bank or anywhere I'm not
supposed to carry it. The classesyou go through, if I just don't
see people that carry a concealed weaponswith their permit would do that. I
mean, I'm sure that it happens. There may be a few people that
have done it, but I feellike the majority of people are not a
character permanent that do it. Butyeah, that's yeah, you know,

(31:10):
I think some of it, andthanks for the call there, sir.
I think it also comes down tohow you carry it. You carry it,
you know, carry it with theholster. If you carry it where
you have a flat maybe a hammerlessrevolver. So we put it in your
pocket, it doesn't profile. Butif you put it in a purse,

(31:30):
you know, obviously far easier.And I don't care how small your handgun
is, the weight is noticeable.I had an over under twenty five.
You know, the two shot Derringerright, the open trigger guard, the
no rifling belly gun, and thatthing weighs like weis quite a bit.

(31:51):
So yeah, I just I don'tunderstand. But the perst thing maybe because
some of you have I don't knowif there is a bottom, do you,
especially the big big ones that everybody'sgonna get out for the summer.
I'll tire Arsenal in there. Allright, six fifty eight. Yeah,
we'll have to set this up forthe next hour. All right, coming

(32:13):
up, we had a Joe Bidenpress conference, kerfuffle, not his fault.
We'll launch the governor's mansion a littletour in Randolph County. They're going
to do their thing. But beforethe Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kashita does his

(32:35):
Governor Cooper tour later today, hehas been up in DC. And you
know, you know how the pressstuff works, right when you have another
state leader. So set it upin a room you'll have and you know,
in this case, there's actually twoof them. I'll explain here in
a moment. So you set themup in a room. They come out,

(33:00):
they talk about whatever the reason isthat they're visiting piece this So any
guns, I don't know, whateverit is. And then after that,
they generally will take questions and theywill allocate an even number of questions from
US media if it's in the US, and you know where media from in

(33:21):
this case, Japan and the Philippines. So that's generally how they stack this
stuff. Pretty common, So Idon't know how this happens. So yesterday
the press conference, and by theway, just you know, the other
world leader is the President of thePhilippines, Bongbong Marcos. Now his name

(33:51):
is Bongbong in the sense that that'swhat people call him, that's what his
dad called him, but his hisactual name is Ferdinand Marcos Junior. I
had no idea. I had tolook this up. I'm like, maybe
Marcos is like Smith. No,not really. This is literally the oldest

(34:15):
son of Ferdinand Marcos, all right. So for those of you, I
guess maybe on the younger side,or you just forgot. Ferdinand Marcos was.
He came into the presidency in thePhilippines in the mid sixties. Okay,
and I'll get in here, getout of here, all right.

(34:37):
So anyway, he came in insixty five and he went, yeah,
you know, what this is.This is great. I'm a dictator and
he was till nineteen eighty six.And then obviously you remember all the thing
that people tend to remember about theFerdinand Marcos thing is his get out of

(35:00):
the way there his wife Emelda Marcos. If you remember Emelda Marcos when they
were when they were showing the largessand the looting of the country by these
people, it was the thing thatstuck in people's brains was her shoe collection.
Do you remember that she had this? She had this crazy it was

(35:22):
it was just that visual representation ofhow complicit she was in all of this.
Let's see here at at the time. Yeah, the three thousand pairs
of shoes, as you do.And there and then the people the Philippines
like, oh yeah, yeah,that was your dad. That was that

(35:44):
was not good because he did allthis horrible, horrible stuff, and and
you took all the money and stuff. So you know, I get it,
right, You not always your fatheror your mother or your parent or
whatever. But they straight up electedthis dude. Now I don't know all
the inner working of Philippine politics,but that's crazy to me. But anyway,

(36:07):
to the White House yesterday, sothat press conference is getting ready to
go. In walks Joe Biden,the President of the Philippines, the Prime
Minister of Japan. They do thestandard photo standing there looking slightly uncomfortable,
and then boom, it's onto thepress. Or the problem was they forgot

(36:29):
to let the press in. That'sright, a quote and this is this
is I'm going to read it straightfrom how the New York Times wrote it.
In a rare logistical snaffo or therare logistical snaffu prevented journalists from witnessing
eighty one year old President's opening remarksto Philippine President Bang Bang Marcos and Japanese

(36:53):
Prime Minister Fumio Kashita in the WhiteHouse East Room. Now it wasn't all
of the press, and you haveto understand that they were. They were
at a table and there is acrap ton of other people in there,
so they got you know, theyhave the horseshoe table thing going on the
head of it. You have youknow, the presidents up there, so

(37:14):
it's not on a podium per se, and they do have the pool feed
running. So that's how that iswhy there are you know, because if
you don't know what the pool dedicatedreporters are. Basically, you have somebody
who's dedicated from print, somebody fromthe media side, radio or TV,

(37:35):
and maybe it's one of each,I can't remember, but and they're kind
of always there. They were actuallyin there because the one who's the photog
one is doing all of the photogfrom the moment they walk in, and
then once they get in there andeveryone is ready, that's when they let
the press in. That's how thewhole thing goes. But they just forgot,

(37:55):
They literally forgot, leaving the pressstanding at the bottom of the stairs
where it comes out of where thewhere the press area is in the White
House, there's a stairwell there,and then they just did it. They
just did the thing. There were, like I said, there was two
or three pool reporters. None ofthe other reporters made it into the room

(38:17):
for the opening statements, and theywere not even taken in until they had
stopped talking. So they had tothen go in there, and I guess
maybe they could kind of see what'scoming out from the pool reporter, but
like, unless you have a preparedquestion, you're not asking him about anything.
They just said. So now Isaid, it's not on Biden like

(38:42):
we do enough price press conference gonesideways, here's the audio? What the
hell's going on? Right? Idon't know that that's on him now.
I know what you're saying, likehe should know that they're supposed to bring
the press in. He should andhe you know what, maybe he did,
maybe he didn't, but maybe hedidn't care. Now and I will
also point out that if Donald Trumpheld an event with world leaders and there

(39:04):
was a snaff foo, we'd bein conspiracy territory right now. What are
they trying to hide with Bongbong andthe Japanese Prime minister? What is going
on? And that would be thenarrative. And then they would they would
neglect to tell you that maybe theyhad the pool reporters in there even though
they're running you know, pictures andaudio and video and stuff. And then

(39:30):
they would neglect to tell you eventhough it's right there in front of you
and fifty percent of this country's idiotsand wouldn't question why there's photos of something
they said that they couldn't see.But anyway, that's how it went down.
That's the explanation. I don't know. But also what a brilliant strategy.
Right if all you gotta do is, you know, do the photog

(39:52):
stuff at any Biden presser and thenjust give them a transcript, obviously a
curated transfer script. I don't know, maybe that's the next step we're into.
But yeah, I didn't sound likethey talked about anything of substance from
some of the quotes from people whowere in the room. But again that's
quotes of people that were in theroom prior to prior to the feed,

(40:16):
is what I mean. All right, seven fifteen CaCO Day Radio program.
Hang on, this whole OJ thinghappening right now, has it is severely
screwing up my multimedia master's viewing plan, okay, which involves you know,
watching it, taking advantage of someof the secondary camera stuff. I like

(40:39):
to screw around in there, althoughI get sick of it. By I'm
probably already sick of it. I'lljust watch whatever they funnel. And then
the other core component, the socialmedia aspect with the memes, and hey,
look at this thing that happened,and the problem is yesterday and it
continues this morning. Twitter is unusableunless you want to do OJ discussion.

(41:08):
Look, I understand you can searchout of their hashtags and stuff. And
I can go look at the masterstuff that way, but I like it
to you know, naturally and findits way into my for me and so
and you know, uh, itwas OJ's big thing. Loved to golf.
Can't believe he's making this all abouthimself anyway, Speaking of dudes living

(41:30):
in Florida, let's do this thing. This guy may not be guilty.
You'll have to judge Florida and thenFlorida. Then is something in the water
they errors hand that makes you doall that crazy crap. It's like the
state is one to be dumb asstrapped. Nowhere else has to Florida.
Man, It is almost like asthe weird factor climbs and you find out

(41:55):
it haven't in Florida every time,Florida, then Florida. Then if anyone
can jeer me have you know,you can't just mind life, you crazy?
But of course, but it's not. It's bad crowd, crazy as
yours. Nowhere else are you gonnafind him. They're so used to it,
they don't find him. Hooray forFlorida. Then all right, check

(42:20):
this out. We go to SaintPete and Tampa goes hard in this subject
where police say they arrested thirty fiveyear old Wiley Weeks. Wait, his
name is spelled w y l y. Is that how we spelled Wiley?
Now, okay, he's thirty five. If he was like eight, I'd
be like, it's just his parents. But I've never seen that. But

(42:42):
okay, any who, this isgreat, Okay, so here it goes.
He was charged with being intoxicated.It's really intoxicated, indecent exposure,
a whole host of charges. Buthere's how it went down, all right.

(43:05):
And by the way, he alsohe thinks he's a lawyer, as
as you'll find out, so heclaimed he could not be punished. Four
And this is what happened. Policewho were patrolling near a bar area noticed
a trash can moving. It hada lid, I guess, and lo

(43:30):
and behold. They crack it openand there is an incredibly drunk I think
he was passed out at first,a naked man in there, like Oscar
the Grouch. It was at thattime he woke started talking with officers.
Initially it wasn't going well. Heexplained to officers that he had a permit

(43:51):
to be drunk and disorderly and sitnaked in a trash can on the public
sidewalk. That's the important thing.So I guess it was techically on the
sidewalk. I don't know if itwas trash day the next day or what.
I have a question. If he'snaked inside, is it his trash
can? I think it might,Yeah, it's I don't I don't think

(44:14):
it was his trash can. Somaybe that's up to the property owner.
But are you technically drunken public andcommitting indecent exposure if you're in a trash
can with a lid on it?This is my this is my loyal question.
That sounds like not guilty to me, right, okay, all right?
He should have told the officer thatthat was his legal domicile. If

(44:36):
you do that, they have tolet you go. Oh it is Florida,
so they don't. You know,they just did the anti squatter stuff,
so that probably would have worked herelike three weeks ago. But is
he like a sovereign citizen type guy. No. I just think he's an
extremely hammered, uh crazy dude.So apparently, see he's a note,
he's a known issue. They referto him as a transient between the city

(44:59):
of Gulfport and so at Pete anda frequent flyer. Uh, let's see.
And by the way, he actuallyhe's done the Florida man thing before
and he likes to be naked.Well, this is probably why he got
the trash can, so that hisprior bust that he's known for included weeks

(45:21):
and a male friend drunk and nakedrunning down Oh this is like, this
is like the main drag in EberCity over in Tampa. Dude, I
bar hopped in there. What okay? Well, and then he got picked
up for that and they're like,hey, you can't be hammered running through
you know, bar crowds in yourbirthday suit. And I don't know,

(45:45):
maybe this is the compromise that he, in his drunk situation, thought up,
or maybe he's just an Oscar theGrouch enthusiast. Either way, he's
again he's charged with all the stuff. But I would argue that we'll see
with the public. Defender says,oh, everything's great. You want to
know how crazy things are? Holdon, let me just pair this.

(46:07):
This is I was I saw this. There's a few things here that strike
me as Oh wait, somebody wrote, well, obviously it was naked at
some point to get in the cantSir, you don't know if somebody put
the can out with it. Somebodycould have stolen his clothes. I mean

(46:30):
right, you could have gotten inthere. Right, I'm gonna go in
here. Maybe it's ratings. Ineed shelter, gonna get in this trash
can, put the top on.Somebody opened it was like, doh,
I got your clothes. Right,you don't know, not guilty. But
and again do you guys like,well he had to go together. You
know, that could have been inlike a garage and somebody wheeled it out.
You don't know anyway, Sorry,let me just set this story up

(46:50):
because this thing's bonkers. So inVietnam they have a a quote real estate
tycoon who's been convicted of stealing acrap ton of money. In fact,
it's so much money. Court justsentenced her. It's a woman to death
for essentially a Ponzi scheme. It'sactually work. I'll explain what she did,

(47:15):
but she stole a lot. CacodayRadio program. This just caught my
eye because it's the numbers are soinsane, and the fact that it's a
woman and what they're planning on doingso. A court in Vietnam yesterday sentenced

(47:37):
Trong my Lawn my Land Throng myLand, I guess is her name to
death following her role, which wasthe primary role in are you ready for
this? The theft of what isthe equiptquivalent of twelve and a half billion

(48:02):
dollars, that's crazy, man.And the way that she did it is
she basically she used to like sellstuff on the street, and then she
just kept building up, building up, and she kind of built a little
real estate empire, and then shefigured out a better way to get rich.

(48:24):
So instead of just bringing new propertiesand things in under empire, she
would set up individual hard to trackcorporations for basically like small groups of properties
properties in a particular geographical area,and using the multitude of companies which she
controlled, she bought a controlling interestin one of the state banks in Vietnam

(48:47):
and nobody noticed, and then sheproceeded to siphon what is three hundred and
four trillion dong, which is theVitamese currency, which again is equal to
twelve and a half billion dollars.She stole and collapsed this bank, which

(49:07):
obviously devastated people who were in it. She stole three hundred and four trillion
dong twelve and a half billion,siphoned it right away and before they noticed.
I mean there's a bunch of otherstuff too, like bribing people.
There's a reason they didn't notice.So yeah, man, let's see here,

(49:30):
she says, she'll appeal the verdicant. I'm just curious how how fast
stuff works there in Vietnam? Howdid they execute two? They still do
it like they're doing Rambo or Idon't know, I mean, not rambo,
but the uh the mines and therice patties or was that? No
that was where was that? Yeah? That was Cambodia. That was Cambodia

(49:54):
technically where they did that? Okay? Or was it? Was it Mayamar
or Burma? Yeah, Burma,Burma, yeah, Burma. Okay,
all right, well that's that's Therewere none in the first in the first
one, okay, run that thefirst one, but the second one,
but yeah, just trying to think, no, no, that was Burma.

(50:15):
So I don't know, but holycrap, man, there are you
know a lot of people in theUS are like, why are we doing
that? So I'm not, bythe way, advocating it, but I've
heard it mentioned on many many anoccasion. All right, eight eight eight
nine three four seven eight seven four. Oh, where was this going to

(50:38):
flip right over to this story?Oh? Yeah, here we go.
Ross. How close are you payingattention to baseball this year? You more
so than I thought I would,okay, because we were not awful this
year. Yeah, I have thelowest batting average in Major League. They

(51:00):
started off like four and oh againstthe Astros, and I we need to
stop the count right now. Wejust need to stop the count just to
go to the playoffs. Well,there was a record set yesterday. I
don't know, did you know thisby the Astros? And I know how
you feel about the Astros? Howa lot of people do write cheater,
cheater, but you might appreciate this. So Hunter Brown, who was the

(51:24):
starter against the Kansas City Royals,by the way, let's see here,
and they're already not doing well againstAre the Astros just that bad this year?
That's a crazy drop off it made. I haven't been paying a bunch
of attention. However, Hunter Brown, the starting pitcher yesterday, pitched the

(51:50):
worst first inning in the history ofbaseball. I want to repeat this.
Hunter Brown, the starting pitcher forthe Astros taking on the Royals yesterday,
set a new major league record forthe worst first inning in the history of
Major League Baseball. Now, thisrecord's going to be a more dubious one
because the record isn't necessarily just abouthow much your pitcher sucks, but what

(52:15):
your manager is willing to put upwith. And apparently they were willing to
put up with quite a bit becausethey thought he would get going. Uh
so here's the tally. Nine.He gave up nine runs, eleven hits,
and one walk, and he pitchedpoint two innings, So he didn't

(52:37):
pitch a full inning, he didn'tpitch a half inning. He pitched point
two. I mean the thing is, now he's a record holder and they
can never take that away from him. That's correct. Yes, by the
way, you're currently four and ten. Yeah, all you know, it's
it's early. So nine runs,eleven hits, one walk in point two
innings pitched. You are is neverrecovering from that. That is so brutal.

(53:06):
I was looking at all the differentways of the stats flex out,
so good for them, all right, you know, hey, even if
they're having a tough go of it, that's that's a dody. I can't
fathom how you leave a dude inor was he not? No? Hold
on? Was he not? Hadhe not pitched enough to come out?

(53:30):
Isn't that one of the newer rules? Does that go for your starting pitcher
as well? Like you can't youhave to go through no? I you
know what, I don't know.They've added some some rules over the last
few years that, you know,like the first base thing, you know,
throwing to first base all that.I don't know, trying to speed
things up. I don't know theanswer to that. But holy crap,

(53:51):
man, I've at the locker room. Was fun for that. All right,
seven forty three Casey O Day Radioprogram. We'll get into the Catherine
Herridge stuff here in just a moment, and of course Pete Callender will join
us coming up here at eight ohfive. So much Uh yeah, I
just dip back into Twitter, it'sall OJ I'll tell you the one.

(54:13):
I'll tell you the one, theone thing that I was like, wow,
the the Norm mcdonald' stuff. Iwas laughing about the oh you did
Okay, yeah, yeah, we'llget to those. But One of the
other things was the and I thinkthat they did a pretty good job of
scrubbing this for a while was theOJ SNL open, which is absolutely legendary.

(54:36):
So it's Tim Meadows is playing OJand Will Ferrell's playing Was it Coughlin
whoever the Giants coach was at thetime, Maybe it was Coughlin. Uh.
And they have the telestrator, youknow, the thing where they draw
the little yellow Uh. You know, Hey, he's gonna go around here
and this guy's gonna run a flyout over here, all right. So
he's doing that and Meadows does itin a very unique way. Uh.

(55:00):
The office has been using a lotthis year. Now you lined up your
half bag right behind your quarterback,your tied end has been running a curl
pattern. Now with Kelly thanks playaction. The defense is frozen, allowing
your wide open to be opened onthe other side, opening a hole in
the middle and a scene on theleft. And what he has done is
he has very cleverly writ written thewords I did it. And it's it's

(55:27):
just cold Man and Carol's characters thatI gotta get out of here, out
of here. So yeah, yeah, and and you should see it I
did tweet it out. I rememberseeing that and leg and live like like
that. Dude. It was sofunny. I remember falling off my couch.
There's a kid being that's just hilarious. This is why I hate what

(55:51):
SNL has become, man, becausethere's there's just there was some so many
good pockets. You know, thePhil Hartman, Uh you know Tim Meadows
and everything that was going on.And I don't remember how many years he
was there and now it well NormMcDonald for that matter, And now we
are where we are all right,Well where we are is weather and uh
yeah, holy cow man, allright, do better do better? Raised

(56:14):
aj come on. Many got alittle rough yesterday afternoon. I was a
little surprised. A lot of windreports, hail reports at a tornado watch,
a couple of warnings in the centralpart of the state for a while.
You're nasty but improving now. Talkedabout it right, talked about the
improving weather, sunshine, some cloudshere this morning. I'm gonna leave a

(56:35):
sprinkle of rain in today. Therecould be a passing shower on the base
of this trough. But I thinkeveryone were in better shape. The wind
will be kind of annoying because it'llbe sunny this afternoon in the low seventies
of those passing clouds at times,but he'll be like, oh, it
doesn't really feel like seventy degrees.That win councust thirty plus and the mountain's
actually some wind advisory, so ifyou had a weekend trip to the mountains,
I'm gonna be pretty windy through tomorrow. I will stay quite breezy tonight,

(56:58):
met up her forties of sunshine forSaturday, still that breeze out of
the west, low seventies again thaton Sunday, the better day. We're
going to start a nice run onSunday into the early middle part maybe most
of next week, with lots ofsunshine around each day, lower to maybe
some middle eighties by Monday and Tuesday, and then on Wednesday and Thursday we

(57:20):
may make a run for uper eights, especially the triangle we get through today.
In this a little bit of winterwe've got around, it's certainly going
to be a lot better. Ithink the biggest thing about the weather the
next few days will be the wintoday and tomorrow Wendy and Augusta to cac
but dry weather, beautiful weather,expected for the rest of the tournament.
All right, I hope. Sowe'll talk in an hour, sir,

(57:44):
thank you, okay, and we'llbe back. Hang on. You know,
things going on up in DC.Catherine Heritage, Catherine Herridge from formerly
from Fox News, who went toCBS who if you remember a few months
ago they said fired and don't touchanything in your office. And there wasn't

(58:05):
some history there, There wasn't anything. It was described as, you know,
a restructuring there. But she's youryou you you hired her away.
She is the head, she's yourchief correspondent for U two different two different
issues, uh, national security andand something else with the White House obviously

(58:28):
is not the White House reporter,but you get it. So and these
have been her beats for a longtime. And they didn't come out and
say it was a salary thing oranything. And then the part where they
basically put her office into lockdown.Here's the thing, I know what you're
saying. Like when they when theyfire people in a lot of places,
they'll like, you know, ifyou if you have a cube with a

(58:49):
computer, they may not allow youto access the computer. I understand that
the difference is harriage had personal devicesin there. This is where the line
gets blurred. But she all sohad actual physical copies of source information,
individual's phone and all of that,and she was told she couldn't grab it.

(59:12):
It's and that stuff. If itis if it is work product of
something that you are working on,understandably, CBS will say that they have
ownership. However, the rolodex thata that a reporter brings with them,
right when you get into the realdeal reporting, your rolodex is is yours,

(59:36):
and it's a it's so important thatthey will put it into a media
contract. Right so in addition toeverything, they will literally outline, uh,
what is yours coming into this Andit's kind of a unique thing.
And I and herriage has that asall of them do. So for CBS
to come in there and do it, that was weird. Well, she

(59:58):
was testifying yesterday in front of Congressand as a few more details here,
if you want to get your tinfoilhat, let's do this thing. The
First Amendment, the protection of confidentialsources, and a free press are my
guiding principles. They are my northstar. When I was laid off in
February, an incident reinforced in mymind the importance of protecting confidential sources.

(01:00:23):
CBS News locked me out of thebuilding and seized hundreds of pages of my
reporting files, including confidential source information. Multiple sources said they were concerned that
by working with me to expose governmentcorruption and misconduct, they would be identified
and exposed. I pushed back,and with the public support of my union,

(01:00:46):
sag AFTRA, the records were returned. CBS's News's decision to receive my
reporting records crossed a red line thatI believe should never be crossed again by
any media organization in the future.Okay, and again, without getting into
the complexities there, you heard thatsag after came out. A lot of

(01:01:07):
people don't realize too. Sag Afteris not just the Hollywood reporters, reporters
from or excuse me, the Hollywoodweirdos, but it's also reporters. Radio
people in certain markets have to havesag after to do commercials for national So
and they went in and they're rightbecause this is a known thing within the

(01:01:29):
business. So and she doesn't getspecific, but you know the drive of
what she's doing and especially the heightof you know, where she was on
this story, as she described itin more long form when this happened was
they were really into something at thehighest levels. Now every reporter is going
to tell you that, I don'tknow, whatever, your opinion of harriages

(01:01:51):
is fine, but it was reallyweird the way that CBS did her.
And obviously even the folks, whoI'm assuming are a bunch of leftists,
right because it's a Hollywood based union, you know, even those folks stepped
up and said that it's not right. They recognize this as a problem.

(01:02:12):
So yeah, I think it's fairto ask questions what was she working on?
Now she may be in a positionwhere, even though they did return
some stuff those sources, after watchingeverything play out, they don't want any
part of this. Meanwhile, CBSyesterday they did the rundown for the you
know, some of their summer andfall stuff coming up. Those are those

(01:02:35):
are pretty non consequential because I don'treally watch a lot of network sitcoms.
But I was fascinated though, withwhat CBS announced for their news division.
They're doing two or three new shows, most of them pretty cookie cutter.
But here's the one that gets me. A new show coming to CBS called

(01:02:57):
CBS News confirmed it'll debut this summer. It doesn't say what the time slot
will be. But here's the premiseof the show. So CBS will do
a show, and I guess it'llbe a weekly show, and it will
be entirely based on fighting the spreadof fake news, conspiracy theories, and

(01:03:22):
bad facts. That's how they describeit. They will identify and help fight
the spread of false stories, conspiracytheories, and bad facts. That's the
verbatim. Okay, I mean,does anyone think that this is not just
going to be another Snopes or WashingtonPost whatever that idiot's name is with the

(01:03:45):
pinocchio like You've just you're not innovate. You just created a more polished and
produced fact check. But I feellike you will fall victim to all the
other stuff. Why we don't believewhat politifactor, Snopes or any of the

(01:04:05):
others. Right, So it wouldn'tbe a complete one without welcoming our radio
buddy to the South Middays WBT.You can hear him on the iHeartRadio app
Pete Calendar. What's going on,dude? You know O. J.
Simpson's dead, so we got thatgoing for us? No? Oh,
no, okay, yeah, butthe problem is Twitter is not functional right

(01:04:30):
now? What it look if you? If I go to my for you
right now, every nine, everyten posts that aren't an air, nine
of them are OJ. And it'sjust like I want to see other stuff,
other stuff, okay, so allright, others stuff. This whole
thing has ruined my multi media mastersviewing experience. All right, I'm about

(01:04:53):
to change your entire Twitter experience.All right. You can mute words and
they will not show up anymore.Anything that has that word in it,
any tweet, it will not showup in your feet anymore. So you
can go in and mute the wordOJ. I'm aware of that. But
I enjoy updates on the Florida crop. So okay, So here's the other

(01:05:17):
thing you can do, all right? Uh I like I never use the
for you uh uh list because thing, you know, the algorithm is putting
stuff in there that I don't wantto see, Like I don't care.
So you want to create a list, right, you create a list I
have. I have all these things. But so then what are we talking

(01:05:40):
about here? Casey? Like thereason you want to see this? Okay,
all right, Captain Bubble, ifI could for just a moment.
The reason that I also go tothe for you tab is because I also
want to see things that are notaccounts that I necessarily thought to fallow or

(01:06:00):
would want to just because of whatthey churn out. Because occasionally I see
stuff there that I didn't know about. If anything is following all the sites
that I normally am, there's nosizes lurking in there. Man, That's
what the trending line is for.Then you go to trends and then you
could break down in sports and newsand music. I'm busy. I got
the I got golf to watch.I mean, dude, I understand that

(01:06:25):
you like to destroy people in theTwitter battles, and you know what that's
for you, man, I wantto sit and watch other people play golf.
So I'm just I'm just trying toimprove your your Twitter experience. I
appreciate that. Uh welcome. SoI you know, I asked a question
this morning. It's kind of alazy question, but I think it's an
interesting thought exercise. And it's twoone oj if this happened two day right,

(01:06:54):
would he be charged? And ifhe was, would he be acquitted
or convicted? Because it's la it'swell, but this is the thing.
So one of the discussions we arehaving is, yes, he is famous,
but right now, being famous andrich, I think it gets you

(01:07:15):
less sympathy in this eat the richmentality that so many people have. But
there is the racial component. Idon't know, what do you think,
Pete Calender, it's all things arewell. The problem is that you're trying
to remove the and you're you're comingright there kind of gets to this,
we're trying to remove the case outof the cultural zeitgeist of the time back

(01:07:40):
in the nineties. Right, no, no, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no. I want to be clear.
I want to be clear. I'mI absolutely wanted in your brain process between
the cultural zeitgeist of that era andthe cultural zeitgeist, because I think there's
a lot of interesting things that haveflipped around that are exactly the same,
are now expanded, but may alsolead like the ocher they got and may
actually hurt him kind of things.So right, you want, right,

(01:08:04):
so I could totally see, liketo your point about the rich because you
can look at like the the pDiddy stuff, right, is that what
he's going by? No, ShawnCombs, Right, I don't know whatever
he's going by, right, Soyou have that like people or the r.
Kelly stuff. So you've got peoplethat are more willing to now entertain,
uh, the idea that, likeyou said, the rich should be

(01:08:27):
held accountable, and uh, there'sthat. The other side of this is
that, you know, when whenOJ was first charged and then brought the
trial, the jurors did not knowanything about DNA, right. This was
like there was a lot of criticismabout having to explain the DNA and the
science and people were bored, theyweren't following in and all that, and
it was perceived at that time asa liability. Whereas now if you don't

(01:08:51):
have DNA in a murder trial,like like what are we even doing here?
You got to bring the DNA orelse we're not convicting, right,
So s I effect, they literallyhave a name for it, right,
right, exactly right. So it'sdifficult to say, like which one of
those which one of those cultural normsthat have kind of flipped, Like which
of those now would take precedent?Right? You also obviously have the uh

(01:09:15):
you know, back in the ninetieswe had the backdrop of the La riots
Rodney King, right, all ofthat, But now you've got the you
know, the backdrop of the youknow, Black Lives Matter and George Floyd.
But on the other hand, there'snow been a sort of a swing
back, you know, the pendulumis sort of on its way back from
the excesses of the defund the policemovement, and people are kind of waking

(01:09:39):
up to the idea that, oh, wow, you know, we may
need some police. So yeah,I'm not sure. There's also the me
too movement, right, You've gotthis is a domestic violence situation, and
so you're gonna have a lot ofwomen that may you know, thirty years
ago, they may not have beenas willing to to, you know,

(01:10:00):
come to the defense of Nicole BrownSimpson that now would. But also,
you know, he Simpson did kindof give us Reality TV, Court TV
and the Kardashians, So maybe peoplewant to penalize them for that too.
I mean, the destruction that thosethree things have walked on our society.
And this is why it's a funexercise, because this entire discussion has largely

(01:10:24):
been about intangibles that that shouldn't bepart of the justice process. The DNA
thing, I think is on point, but it's definitely different. But it's
all the other things that we sweardoesn't impact jurors that clearly does clearly does
right obviously, so and a badjudge, right, a bad judge overseeing
the case can can completely do it. I watched that man dance on Leno.

(01:10:47):
Okay, yeah, I didn't seethat well pervert up in New York
who likes to go hit on chicksat the gym. I didn't see him
dancing on Leno. So no,that's true. Well, I mean,
but that like to that point though, this is you know, the effect
of cameras in the courtroom, right, which is, uh, it's a
you know, debated topic inside uhlegal and media world, but outside of

(01:11:12):
you know, lawyers and judges andcourt watchers and media people who you know
have vested interests in the outcome ofthese decisions, do you let the cameras
in or not? Like this wasthe first I mean, I don't like,
did court TV even exist before O. J. Simpson really? And
you know, it proved that youcould then do these types of uh,

(01:11:34):
you know, low budget reality typeprogramming without scripts, without actors and all
of that, and it would becompelling and people would watch it in large
enough numbers, which then, ofcourse gave rise to a lot of the
reality TV shows that we see now. But I also wonder if the outcome
would have been different had the camerasnot been permitted in the courtroom, and

(01:11:56):
had maybe the people that were litigatingthe cases, maybe had they been in
more courtrooms with cameras had more experiencewith that at the time, than maybe
they would have acted in a moreprofessional manner. Uh. You know the
the one of O Jay's lawyer,You know who Jerry Spence is. Jerry
Spence kind of a famous lawyer.Yeah, so he was on the team

(01:12:17):
there, and uh, people don'tknow he's from Wyoming and his brother Tom
literally runs a greasy spoon diner inthe town I grew up in, which
is just weird, right because andJerry lives over in Jackson. So he
moved out of Wyoming, he movedto the fake Wyoming. But but it
was fascinating. But it was fascinating. I used to eat in there a

(01:12:38):
lot. I got to know Tom, and uh, the thing that he
that he told me when he wouldtalk to his brother was the cameras,
Like they had a huge, huge, philosophical divide among the legal team over
over cameras and I can't where Jerrywas. But it's funny now because all
of these people who have these philosophicaldebates, but if it's Donald Trump in

(01:13:00):
a courtroom, they want a camerato capture it. Now, Like I
don't hear any one uh parsing overthat. They're like, now, let's
get a camera on them. Canwe purp walk them? Can we per
Okay, let's get a purp walktoo. So yeah, well but remember,
you know, thirty years ago thiswas it wasn't more of an unknown
and and I think probably it stillis to some degree. Like does it

(01:13:20):
influence the outcome of cases? Becauseit could, and maybe sometimes it does,
and maybe sometimes it does not.I've you know, I've covered a
lot of trials over the course ofmy career, and you know, some
have been televised, you know,some of I've been in a couple of
cases their Core TV was there,which, honestly, as a as a

(01:13:40):
journalist, was was good because theythey wired up the whole room, you
know, like they they miked everything. I didn't have to worry about really
anything. I would just walk inand plug into their their box, and
I would be I would have allof the audio that I needed, and
then I could cover. Uh,I could cover the trial, whether it
was you know, Ray Caruth oryou know a double murder trial down in

(01:14:01):
York County, you know, twentyyears ago, like when Court TV was
there. Just made the job alot easier. Yeah, although it also
created monsters like Dancing Grace yep,yeah yeah. Do you have you ever
been pitched there? You ever beenasked by Nancy Grace's producers to uh something?
Oh dude, I've refused everyone.You went on Nancy Grace? How

(01:14:26):
was that? I was? Yeah, this was during the Ray Caruth trial.
Okay, yeah, my buddy,my buddy went on. I'm sorry.
I was gonna say another radio buddyhad went on and I watched it,
and she was berating him for givingthe facts, like and and like
if she had listened to a minuteof a show, she'd have known that,
Like he wanted this, dude,this was this was a really really

(01:14:50):
horrible abuse thing up in Minnesota.Remember the mom we wouldn't get the cancer
treatment for the kid, and thenthey literally they fled. Anyway, it
was a while ago, and hewent on and she you'd have thought he
was the one keeping the girl fromgetting cancer treatment. And I'm like,
no, I'll never be on thatpsycho show. So you're on there for
Ray Caruth. Did she accuse youof helping drive in the car that he

(01:15:14):
stuffed himself in the trunk? No? No, it was fine, Like
I really, I don't remember anythingabout the interview except the correspondent for and
I'm not sure if Nancy Grace.I guess she was at Core TV at
this time, or maybe she wasat scene and I forget where, but
I don't remember anything about her.It was fine, but she said something
incorrect, and the correspondent, whowas sitting next to me but worked for

(01:15:39):
that whatever the outlet was, Ithink her name was m J. And
she said she corrected Nancy Grace,and then during one of the breaks,
said, you know, I'm sorryto you know, to throw that out
there. I just felt like Ineeded to correct that before we you know,
if it went to a different pathwhatever. But that was it.
Like the only thing I could rememberwas that that awkward. That was yeah,

(01:16:00):
okay, all right, I don'tlike doing those things anyway, but
yeah, just for radio, it'sThe problem they were running into was that
all of the TV people that werecovering the trial were obviously covering the trial
for their TV outlets. So asa radio guy like, I'm free,
like I can, I filed mystory. I'm done. You know,
I don't know, and I knowwhy they come, I know why they

(01:16:23):
asked I yeah, totally there so, but yeah, you have to wonder
if one literally beget the other.All right, just a couple other things.
Uh, Roy Cooper's got the Uhdude, did you see what happened
to the White House? Since I'mgonna talk real quickly, how the Prime
Minister of Japan is going to behere today? Did you see the did
you see the presser where they forgotto let the press in? Are you

(01:16:45):
aware of this this thing that happenedyesterday with the opening no about Biden and
the Japanese Prime minister whatever standing inthe garden and Biden's got the telephone and
no, no, no, no, no, no no no. So
they did one of the in roomthings. They had the big horseshoe table,
right, so they have the dogs. Yeah, because there's three of
them there. There's Biden, obviously, there's the Japanese Prime minister. There's

(01:17:08):
the President of the Philippines, bythe way, do you know who that
is? Now, I'll give youOkay. So he goes by and I
understand why he goes by this nickname. The President of the Philippines goes by
Bong Bong, right, okay.But his actual name is you ready Ferdinand

(01:17:29):
Marcos Junior. Oh well that yeah, So yes, it's the man who
was elected in sixty five, whothen went I'm a dictator and ruled through
what mid eighties, and then hiswife was just buying shoes. Willy nilly,
it's their kid. Yeah, it'stheir kid. They stole all the
money and murdered a bunch of people, and then they elected his kid.

(01:17:50):
That's amazing. I don't know what. This is the thing that I always
kind of keep in my mind whenI hear people bleaching on about the democracy,
like that's what a democracy gets youtoo, you know, you don't,
you know, you don't. It'snot all sunshine and roses in democracies.
You know. That's why you wantto have some you want to have

(01:18:13):
some guardrails erected for the democracy.So just just because I gotta I gotta
speed this. So they're in theGold room or whatever. They have the
horseshoe table, and you know howit goes. They have they run the
photo stuff, and they have thePool photo reporter. They're all sitting around
the table. Each will make anopening statement and then you know how they
generally divide questions between foreign and nationals. Okay, So what happened is they

(01:18:39):
did have the pool guys in there, including the poetog and I think one
of the one of the camera guys, I think it was the Also the
rider pool reporter was the New YorkTimes guy. They just started and they
didn't let the They forgot to letthe press in the whole The press are
at the bottom of the stairs.You know where they have the press work
area up there. You come upthe stairs to get into all that.

(01:19:00):
They were holding them at the bottom, and they just forgotten. They just
made all their statements. They didn'tlet him in there until they were done.
And they said it was a quote. They said it was a rare
logistical snaff foo mm hmm. Butjust also maybe had the indirect benefit of
not exposing Biden to a gaggle ofscreaming reporters or I guess the Japanese PM

(01:19:28):
or the Philippine president. Yeah,I I how that's a quote logistics because
remember you and I both know thatthey control the room like no press flags
i've ever seen, right, people, One thing people you have to know
is that every high level politician hasa person who you hate, and it's
because it's their job to be hated. And I don't mean that quite literally,

(01:19:49):
but I kind of do. Andwith Biden, if you haven't noticed,
they do something unique. The momenthe's done and questions start. There
isn't just one person going and hey, hey all right, we're done here.
They have a chorus, and theyintentionally have a chorus yelling the whole
time non stop until the press stopspressing and gets out, because then there's

(01:20:13):
not going to be audio of thisidiot answering something in a weird way,
I honestly, or that is whatthey're doing. Yo. Yeah, And
if you make it loud enough,then the president cannot hear the questions too,
so he won't he won't stop andtry to answer them. Yes,
yeah, there's a yeah, there'sa yeah, because if he hears it,
he's gonna because that's Joe Biden,he's going to try to answer because

(01:20:34):
he's the smartest guy in the room, so he's going to try to answer
these questions. And so if youcan't stop him from doing that, then
you stop him from hearing the questions. You got to get in front of
that. And so if you justscreamed loud enough and then it'll be too
confidence, he won't be able toto hear anything and he'll just kind of
stumble out of the room. Andif if you're like me or Pete,

(01:20:56):
we're sitting in there with the Moransplugged in, all of our audio is
going to be garbage. And anyway, all right, there we go right
up against it. I appreciate it. Pete, have your weekend, enjoy
watching the Masters. Okay, we'lltalk next week and we will be right
back. So hang on. Soall right, hypothetically, let's say you're
you're a bad guy or girl,right, but you like to steal all

(01:21:19):
people's stuff. And one of thethings you look for is you look for
Yeah, obviously you find a homeor you think there's going to be a
lot of good stuff, and thenyou look for the opportunity, and especially
if it's a home like an elderlyperson or you feel you can get in
there, and in this case itwas an eighty five year old woman living

(01:21:42):
in rural Idaho. You probably thinkthat's going to be kind of slamm dunk
as long as you can keep herfrom being able to call somebody. Well
that's what was going through this guy'shead. Christine Jennahan is the woman's name.
This is a home near Blackfoot,Idohoach. It's very nice area.
I like it there. And athirty nine year old man by the name

(01:22:05):
of Derek Condon who broke into herhome. He let's see here he did
pistol whip her. I want tomake sure that I give you the accurate
Okay, here we go. Sothat's right. So he came in immediately,

(01:22:25):
was exerting force, pistol whipped her, threatened her numerous times, was
asking her some stuff like where doyou have stuff hidden? Do you have
stuff hidden? And then after he, I guess interrogated this woman and obviously
harmed her by hitting her with thebutt of his gun, he handcuffed her
to a chair so that he becausehe's a loner, so that he could

(01:22:48):
go and basically loot her house.So If that's all sounding all right to
you, I want to warn youthere's a little flaw in the logic.
According to police, when the manwent upstairs to you know, to essentially
start stealing all her stuff, thismoron had simply handcuffed her on like a

(01:23:14):
dining room chair, so it hadI guess it had the side, you
know, the the armrests on it. Handcuffed her to that and then went
upstairs. Now what do you thinkshe did? She just stood up and
walked over to where she capped athree point fifty seven, and then when
the dude came down the stairs,she murdered the crap out of him.

(01:23:39):
Good for her, but also,how do you not re can't just you
can't handcuff somebody to a chair thatcan move. I mean you can,
but then you can't just leave him. Even at eighty five, all the
woman had to do was literally standup. Where did she retrieve her firearm
from? Let's see here? Ithought they mentioned it in that first paragraph.

(01:24:02):
I just says she retrieved one.I think she had to go into
another room, which was apparently easybecause he's upstairs making a bunch of noise.
Jennahan also pointed out that you know, she was concerned because her she
has a son, even at eightyfive, she has a son who's disabled,
and obviously that was going through hermind. But yeah, this genius

(01:24:28):
just handcuffed her to the arm ofthe chair, the light dining room chair,
and she just walked over and gother gun. And because her hands
then are pointed forward, well that'sa whole other thing. So that sounds
like a bond, like a likea low level bond villain. Screw up
right there, be honest with you, all right, I got I gotta

(01:24:50):
share this story because there's one oftwo options here, and neither is good
for the continued employment of this woman. Do you guys remember when they released
the new Dune movie, Yeah,it wasn't that long ago. Dune Part
two head into theaters and to celebrate, AMC Theaters created custom popcorn containers.

(01:25:17):
So it's your standard. Usually whenthey do this, it's you know,
the print on the bucket, butthey've created a custom lid. And if
you know anything about Dune in themovies, there are these giant sandworm things
and their faces look like there's justa big hole with a bunch of you
know, it kind of looks likewhales balen kind of stuff right there.

(01:25:40):
But when you create a tall,towering popcorn lid looking thing, and it
also kind of looks like a womanpart and then you put the greasiest butter
you can ever find there. Obviously, it immediately was met with ridicule online.
And it was so predictable when youlook at this thing. But here's

(01:26:03):
the here's the nut job part.You ready. Chief content officer for AMC
Theater is Elizabeth Frank, said shewas she was completely surprised by the reception
the bucket got quote. I havea hard time imagining that. It wasn't.
Okay, hold on, let me, I want to read this verbatim.

(01:26:30):
You have a hard time imagining thesethings, but we continue to learn
and evolve. We would have neverimagined the doom thing. We would have
never created no one it could becelebrated or mocked. Okay, I guess
there's three options. One, she'slying through her teeth and she's just basking
in the pr goodness. Two,she's an idiot and I and I don't

(01:26:54):
mean that in like because the otherpossibility is she's just so pure of heart.
But the reality is you're this isyou your c suite for this company,
and it is a company that literallycontinues to exist, possibly in no
small part because of meme bros.On the Internet. Remember AMC was one

(01:27:15):
of the other ones that they wereplaying with, uh or you know,
you had the yout like the theTwitter accounts and the Reddit, the reddit
groups. AMC was one where theywere trying to squeeze value out of them.
And uh, you know, causeruns on it and flip it and
short it and do everything under thesun. So like you already know kind
of who you're dealing with. Andthen secondly it's it's sci fi nerds,

(01:27:44):
of which I'm one. How doyou not immediately look at that and go,
oh, yeah, maybe we shouldput it on the side or something.
I don't know what's going on,and and no, so I yeah,
but then I'm really Then I'm remindedof, you know, because she's
kind of on the marketing side,she's content chief content officer. I'm reminded

(01:28:06):
of the bud Light marketing girl whoclearly had no understanding of her product its
customers. What's worked was what hasn'tover the years, and not just from
the decision with the mulvany stuff.But with her comments during that interview,

(01:28:28):
So the idea that this woman couldn'thave figured out that this thing that you
made look incredibly like that, especiallyto some of the most immature, I'll
own it didn't go that way.Maybe maybe this job's not for you.
That's all I'm saying. Oh man, all right, eight forty four Cacoday

(01:28:53):
Radio program. One more, let'sget it done. I got napping to
do, gosh not me, andgoing to my first, uh first lacrosse
game actually for Clemson this weekend.So that should be interesting. Daughter wants
to go there. So yeah,we'll see. Yeah, it should be
all right. Don't go to theafter party. Why not. I'm just

(01:29:16):
you know, I heard it.You know there's some send you some okay,
yeah, yeah, some older stuff. Yeah, anyway, go ahead.
Yeah. Well, I was siftedthrough a couple of seconds late there,
sifted through some of the severe weatherreports from uh yesterday, and there
were quite a few of them,especially triad West, numerous at least a
dozen or more foresight and let's seeSurrey County, Yadkin Counties, trees down,

(01:29:43):
thunderstorms, and now we've settled infor it. Looks to be a
quieter weather, powder warmer weather overthe next four or five six days,
maybe longer uh sunshine with some clouds. Today there could be a sprinkle of
rain, gusty winds upper sixties,low seventies and the forties tonight, and
how about this week coming up alittle windy at times. Tomorrow some of
the winds could gust over twenty butstill lots of sunshine upper sixties to low

(01:30:05):
seventies. Sunday sunshine could be eightyin some spots, lower to mid eighties.
Next week could hit the upper eightiesat one point or another toward the
middle latter part of the week,especially for the Triangle. But case,
after yesterday, this is well deserved. We're going into a run here of
five, six, seven days ormore of dry, mild weather. Finally

(01:30:28):
started to feel like not only spring, but maybe even late spring early summer.
All right, well, you knowwe're trending in the right direction.
They Yeah, it's all illustrated havingthe weekend enjoy lar crossing, So thanks,
all right, we'll come back checkingone time with Jeff Bellinger next hang
on ood morning, case and HappyFriday at tech rally highlighted yesterday session on
Wall Street, the Nasdaq rows twohundred and seventy two points one point seven

(01:30:53):
percent, settled at a record high. We had a smaller game for the
S and P five hundred and theDow tick down just a two points.
Yesterday, shares of Amazon dot Comclosed at an all time high after CEO
Andy Jasse said he's bullish on generativeartificial intelligence and he is still committed to
cutting costs at the e commerce giant. Looks like investors are in a bit

(01:31:15):
of a funk this morning, thoughfutures are lower. Right across the ward,
SMP futures are down thirty six points, Nasdaq futures down one hundred and
fifty five, Dow futures are downtwo hundred and thirty eight. Optimism about
interest rates is fading fast among investorsand economists. Experts at Bank of America
and Deutsche Bank are the latest todial back their forecast for rate reductions.

(01:31:38):
This in light of the latest costof living data from Washington that came out
earlier this week. They now saythe Federal Reserve will likely cut rates just
once this year and will wait untilDecember to do it. This cannot be
good for citrus prices. The Departmentof Agriculture reduced its projections for Florida orange
and grapefruit production in the current growingseason. The USADA says the crop will

(01:32:00):
barely outpace the prior season, inwhich Hurricane Ian reduced output to the lowest
point in more than ninety years.Tensions in the Middle East pushing up the
price of oil. This morning,Apple has new chips that were developed in
house. It plans to use themto overhaul its entire line of Mac computers.
And Casey high mortgage interest rates makinglabor shortages worse in some parts of

(01:32:25):
the country. The executive coaching firmChallenger, Gray and Christmas reports this morning
some manager recruits in the Midwest ofshunned offers to move to the South,
in part because they're locked into mortgageswith super low rates that they don't want
to give up. Some people haveeven turned down jobs that pay a quarter
of a million dollars per year.Casey, well, I guess it comes

(01:32:46):
down to what you were making.You were thinking of lead. Do you
have a question? Though? SoOJ dies and then on the same day
they have a four Bronco recall andthey issue you a down or a down
forecast for orange hues? What kindof what kind of matrix are we living

(01:33:06):
in? Man? No, youdon't see the connection. Yeah, you're
kind of connecting the dots, aren'tyou. All right? All right,
all right, well you know what, we'll figure it out and uh,
you have a good weekend and I'lllet you know the results next week.
Okay, okay, you have agood weekend as well. Take care the
investigation. Well, I like,I understand some weird coincidence, but I
didn't know about the orange juice thing. I knew about the Ford Bronco thing

(01:33:28):
I was in the packet. Wellthat's not good. Oh man, Ross,
you were gonna go buy some BrunoMali's shoes today too, Right,
you were mentioning the reafter the show, You're gonna run and get those really
expenses. Now I'm not though,and you need it. You said you
needed a new glove. You meangloves, right? That is correct?
Yes? Or is it just one? You said glove? That's why I
got confused. So anyway, sohe's off to do that. But the

(01:33:50):
biggest gaff in all of this,hands down the LA times have you?
Are you guys aware of what happenedwith the obitu the La Times and everybody's
concentrating on AP being the worst withtheir like this weirdly upbeat entrepreneur, sports
star, millionaire saw it all blahblah blah, and then the murder things.

(01:34:13):
In the last line, this wasross. Did you see the La
t I didn't put in the package. Did you see the La Times?
I saw the AP one. I'mnot sure if I saw the La Times
one. All right, So herewe go. This is there is a
few paragraphs into the actual thing andthey're going through they're talking about the Vegas
incident. Uh you know where hesaid. It's getting back his memorabilia and
