Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
There's lots of things to talk about do while we
do the thing. Oh wait, what is this? What did
deck did?

Speaker 2 (00:08):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (00:08):
Okay, all right, sorry, just looking at looking at something
that I realized I emailed myself the wrong thing.

Speaker 1 (00:16):
I was reading two different stories of this. I'll have
to go back and get that.

Speaker 3 (00:19):
Because I want to be fair on this AOC thing.
I don't know if you guys are familiar with this,
because they are just cooking her for her third third
quarter expenditures that she filed because she's like, she spent
like fifty grand on luxury travel down.

Speaker 1 (00:36):
To Puerto Rico.

Speaker 3 (00:39):
But I'm going to defender on one thing because and
if you've never been to Puerto Rico, it's a little
bit of it is a little bit of sticker shock.

Speaker 1 (00:47):
Okay, Hotels in San Juan.

Speaker 3 (00:52):
Branded luxury brand or not an luxury Brady, but just
branded hotels like Marriott, Hilton like that are really expensive.
Like I had to shop around. I've only been to
Puerto Rico once. I went to Old San Juan and
mirrmar which is like kind of the two touristy neighborhoods.
Old San Juan is the must see mirror Mars just

(01:12):
on the end of the bay or the port if
you will, Porto Rico, and it has a it's a
really thin strip that connects the outer end that eventually
ends up in Old San Juan.

Speaker 1 (01:26):
And they have a lot.

Speaker 3 (01:28):
More hotels there and you're gonna get beach, so that's
why people stay over there. And so uh yeah, I
export it Old San Juan. It's beautiful, but who sticker
shock of the hotels. I was able and you'll hear
the numbers, but I was able to do a bit
better than she did. But that's not really what people
need to be talking about, not with this. It's the

(01:51):
other stuff, which we'll we'll we'll get into. I saw
people having fun with that. Let's see here. We got
a little contras with the Maryland governor. That's fun. We'll
see what's going on there. And we got to talk
about an executive order that Trump signed yesterday because I
don't know how I feel about it.

Speaker 1 (02:11):
It has to do with AI.

Speaker 3 (02:17):
I mean, on one hand, I get the nimblest, the
being nimble part of what he's trying to do, but
on the other hand, he's not always going to be there.
And the last thing on the planet I want is
moon bats in charge of AI. I mean, clearly it's
already a problem. Right when when people are trying to

(02:40):
render Nazi pictures and it kept coming back with like
Chinese women in SS outfits, You're like, well, what's.

Speaker 1 (02:46):
Going on here?

Speaker 3 (02:48):
What are we doing the very diverse SS unit you
got there, and that that's part of the manipulation that
has already taken place in there. That being said, that
being said, it's.

Speaker 1 (03:07):
It's a it is a race. I agree with Trump
on that it is.

Speaker 3 (03:11):
And this is I've been very accurate on this from
a race, very accurate. Well, of course, I'm very accurate,
but I've been very early on this. When we were
first getting this, you know, the whiffs of like chat,
GPT and.

Speaker 1 (03:23):
Things like that.

Speaker 3 (03:25):
I pointed out that if we don't get that, what's
gonna happen is one or two of them are gonna
win out. They're going to attach to everything. They're already
attached to everything. Oh yeah, I used an AI assistant
the other day, Uh, what was it for my bank
or something? And I will say it it did. It

(03:46):
was much more accurate than those old Chat assistants where
they were relied simply on a keyword, like they were
actually able to say no, it was Uber.

Speaker 1 (03:55):
It was Uber, That's what it was. I used it
for Uber for Uber for the grocery.

Speaker 3 (04:00):
Because they brought me the wrong thing, and so I
would just and it was like it was like a
ten dollars difference on what they brought me, and so
I just wanted my ten dollars back, so I'm cheap.

Speaker 1 (04:11):
And that was all an AI And.

Speaker 3 (04:13):
It was a much more fluid experience than it had
been with because I hate chat assistance, but I also
hate talking to people, so I'm torn, and it was
it was a very different experience from the program they're
using it to. They're using it to make things faster
at immigration checkpoints.

Speaker 1 (04:33):
Right.

Speaker 3 (04:34):
So when I entered the US via Miami, and I
don't want to this is what I was around after
Thanksgiving there and I'm coming in and you you can
either stand in the line and if you get there
at the wrong time, the hellscape that is the Miami
Immigrations Hall is.

Speaker 1 (04:55):
Or you get global entry.

Speaker 3 (04:56):
You could do that if you're like giving up your biometrics,
but you don't have to do that because instead of
sitting back at their little boots there because when I
had left the country, they had taken that biometric, that
picture of me.

Speaker 1 (05:11):
I just walked up.

Speaker 3 (05:12):
Dudes standing there because there was nobody in that line, thankfully,
and I just walk up and it was a two
second process, just like that. And there is an AI
component to that. There is an AI component in so
many things, so many that your child's education is going
to be very AI heavy, and it already is. And

(05:33):
I'm not talking about when they're using it to cheat,
but you know, AI. AI is a tool, and if
used properly, I think it's a fine tool, but you
should always you always got to question it. So getting
the head in just the race of the US companies
to do it with an AI that is not woke
garbage is really important because companies are going to adopt

(05:56):
this stuff, and if it's all going to be Google's
crazy AI was spitting out those super diverse Nazi photos,
where else is it gonna go woke? So that's the problem.
That's the problem. So we'll get into that story here
pretty quick. Got some audio from the Christy Gnome hearing
you have to hear from yesterday, and then I have

(06:18):
one oh and our buddy Pete Calender will join us.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
There we go. That's the thing I was trying to remember.
He'll come along at eight.

Speaker 3 (06:24):
Five, and we got to talk about the city thinking
they can advertise their way out of their best transit
crime issues. That's hilarious but terrifying, I guess if you
live there. Hilarious to me though. All Right, it is
six thirteen here on the CaCO Day Radio program. Back

(06:47):
in just a few minutes here on your Friday morning.

Speaker 1 (06:50):
And lots to get to.

Speaker 3 (06:52):
Sorry having to reboot my call screw Yep, looks good.
All right, we're ready to rock and roll. Why don't
we start with little piece audio here?

Speaker 1 (07:01):
A little well, he is gonna make you mad. I'll
just let you know.

Speaker 3 (07:07):
Uh so, Christinome was in a congressional oversight hearing yesterday
and so as you know it, you know, depending on
who whose team is running the White House, and the
way these go is their team asked, when did you
find out you were so awesome? And then the other
team they get to they get together and they all

(07:28):
figure out their attack plan. Oh yeah, it's all coordinated,
all coordinated. You see it, You see it a little
more predominantly during like UH Supreme Court, UH, Spring Court
Justice hearings in the Senate, right, they got you gotta
stay on message, but there's always one or two wild cards.

Speaker 1 (07:46):
But clearly all.

Speaker 3 (07:47):
The other members UH in this case, the the ranking
member and his team, the Democrats, they're gonna they're gonna
make sure they all know this. So if when she's
hit with the the gotcha, then the others can knowledgeably
keep going down that road if they feel that they're
getting anything there. So let me tell you one thing,

(08:07):
because it's it was kind of lengthy, but the gotcha
moment in in the hearing yesterday was supposed to be
the supporting of a twice wounded veteran. And that's, of
course how they're playing it in the media, which is
there are things about that that are accurate, but there

(08:30):
is a lot of context that seemingly nobody's including I
will say CBS included context. So Barry Weiss, I guess
is trying to do a better job up there. But
let me get to this.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
So yesterday and who was the who is the congressman
who asked her about it? Wo to do to do
to do do.

Speaker 3 (08:56):
Magaziner magazine or I don't even know who this idiot is.
That's probably for the better anyway, all right. So the
congressman asked Christinome, Hey, how many US military veterans have
you deported?

Speaker 1 (09:11):
And she said none?

Speaker 3 (09:14):
Okay, which I don't know if that's accurate, because there
are we have the ability for people to serve in
the media, but or in the media, in the in
the military, and they're not citizens during parts of it,
and you know, it's it's to get citizenship, and it is,
it is a thing. And there have been instances where

(09:37):
while the person was serving in the military something happened
or they never pursued it. But so he goes, yeah,
how many US military veterans have you deported?

Speaker 1 (09:46):
He said none?

Speaker 3 (09:47):
And then a staffer walk or she says none. A
staffer walks over with an iPad and you can.

Speaker 1 (09:53):
See that it is. It's on as zooms. They're zoomed
in with.

Speaker 3 (09:57):
Somebody and you see an older Asian man and she
goes well, and the carsman goes, well, here live via
zoom is a man who was shot twice for America
that you deported to Korea where he hasn't lived since
he was seven powerful.

Speaker 4 (10:14):
Powerful.

Speaker 3 (10:15):
That's how that's literally how the journey. The journalist tweeted
out this this moment, and of course everyone like, ah
see they got her. She's lying or she's stupid. Well
she's she's not either of those things in this instance,
because she didn't deport him. He deported himself. He's self deported.

Speaker 5 (10:37):
Now.

Speaker 3 (10:37):
He may have realized that it may be coming. And
the reason is is because he never gained citizenship. He
served in Panama, he was shot twice in Panama what
would be eighty nine, lived in the US, never acquired citizenship,
and has a multiple criminal infractions. And I don't mean

(10:59):
traffic tickets, I mean manufacturing and selling of drugs, weapons charges,
all of those things which probably would have hamstrung him,
which is why he didn't go and try to get citizenship.
And the actual deportation order was from two thousand and nine.

(11:19):
The order to deport him was from two thousand and nine.
Who was president in two thousand and nine, anybody anyway,
Barack Obama?

Speaker 1 (11:31):
Correct?

Speaker 3 (11:32):
Yeah, so because of those charges, and yes he is
a military veteran, but they made a decision that because
he had all of these charges. There's about five or
six separate incidents with you know, one or two charges
attached each time, and some of them are felonies. Because
of that, the Obama era judges immigration judges said no,

(11:56):
you got to go, and he didn't go. He's like,
all right, I'm going and then just stuck around. So
when he saw everything that was coming, I'm I'm sure
he decided that, you know, at least I get a
few bucks going this way. I don't know if he
I'm assuming he havevailed himself with one thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (12:14):
Maybe maybe not. It doesn't matter, but that's the story.
They didn't. They didn't. They didn't touch this guy. I
never arrested this guy.

Speaker 3 (12:22):
He just he's like, all right, peace out. So there's
no way the congressman doesn't know this. And then the
guys sitting there on a zoom thing, which I think
is a really I don't know. It just feels scummy
right there because it's like you're in there and you're
trying to get her, and you know, normally if you're
gonna have somebody, they list witnesses for these hearings because

(12:45):
I get the press releases for all the hearings and
all the all the all the stupid political stuff and
all eyeball it. Sometimes there's really crazy people on there.

Speaker 1 (12:53):
But so so no, probably didn't even know who this
guy is.

Speaker 3 (12:58):
And so and the guy's just sitting there on the
iPad is kind of staring at her while the the.

Speaker 1 (13:02):
Dude's holding it.

Speaker 3 (13:03):
But yeah, there's a lot of important context there that
you should at least avail yourself of before you make
a decision. But the crowding achievement, I think for the
for the gnome hearing, at least for her. Well one
she told that Michigan congressman who wanted articles of impeachment

(13:24):
that him be mad at her means she's doing her job,
so that it's a pretty common line.

Speaker 1 (13:28):
But that's good. That works.

Speaker 3 (13:30):
But then it was Benny Thompson's turn, and Benny Thompson
wanted to talk about the Washington d C roll out
of National Guard troops, which again I don't know why
they keep.

Speaker 1 (13:44):
Tugging this string, this string.

Speaker 3 (13:46):
The only people who seemingly are really mad about that
are not the residents who live in the high crime area,
not most of them.

Speaker 1 (13:54):
You've seen the interviews. I saw that you see the
grandma crying because her kids can literally play out in
the street. She's like, they can play outside now, you know.
And they're out there kicking. They're literally they're on video.
They're kicking around.

Speaker 3 (14:09):
Ah, they're kicking around a soccer ball, banging around, doing
what you know kids do.

Speaker 1 (14:14):
Man, And she's in tears over this. She's so she's
so happy.

Speaker 3 (14:20):
So I don't know why they tugged this string, but
Benny Thompson decided he was going to tug it a
bit further. He is, I believe Mississippi or ALABEI he's Mississippi,
that's right.

Speaker 4 (14:31):
Uh.

Speaker 3 (14:32):
And he's been in office for frig it. Ever, when
did Benny Thompson first get elected? Doesn't matter? Oh, here
we go ninety three, So yeah, there you go.

Speaker 1 (14:45):
All right.

Speaker 3 (14:45):
So Benny Thompson then wants to address the two National
Guard members who were shot and.

Speaker 1 (14:51):
Kate in the case of one killed. And this is
the language he uses.

Speaker 6 (14:58):
Mount On Secretary you and gentleman from c T n
CTC reference the unfortunate accident that occur with the National Guardsman.

Speaker 3 (15:12):
Okay, you heard that correctly, and I'll play I'm gonna
play out the full kite.

Speaker 1 (15:17):
But yes, he said what you think he just said? Uh,
it's Friday. We love that.

Speaker 3 (15:22):
So we're gonna be kind of rapid fire because I
always end up on Friday with a bunch of stories
I didn't get through the rest of the week. I
put him in a folder and I was just digging
through there and there's some a bunch of good stuff.
Just been that kind of It's been that kind of
week because you know, it's a short week for me, uh,
because I wasn't here on Monday.

Speaker 1 (15:39):
But we'll we'll do what we can. This is I
love this. So, uh do you guys know there is
a there's another protest a bruin. There's a and that's
a pun by the way, you'll understand why in a minute.

Speaker 3 (15:55):
Uh, there is another protest uh bruin up in Boston.

Speaker 1 (16:03):
All right, So it's Boston.

Speaker 3 (16:05):
You gotta kind of be thematic, right, And look, Boston's
got themselves.

Speaker 1 (16:09):
A storied past of.

Speaker 3 (16:14):
You know, people protesting, although the Boston Tea Party is
the one that generally comes up, but there's a lot
of stuff too, and really the kickoff of the Revolutionary
War that was a protesting and of itself when they decided.

Speaker 1 (16:28):
To shoot some folks.

Speaker 3 (16:30):
And by the way, we'll just for the purpose of this,
we'll just go with the Boston Tea Party. Was the
six year old version. Like when you were six year old,
you understood it. It's actually far more complex and some
of the motivations there are a little a little interesting
if you ever want to dig down into it. But
with that in mind, we're just basing it off. A
bunch of colonists got the bunch of oh, that's right.

(16:53):
They dressed as Native Americans, and that is cultural appropriation.
And then they boarded the ship and then they threw
the tea in there to protest taxes.

Speaker 1 (17:01):
Okay, all right, so they're gonna riff on that, but
they don't want to throw tea.

Speaker 7 (17:06):
In the harbor.

Speaker 1 (17:08):
They probably I don't know if you're allowed to do that.
Probably not.

Speaker 3 (17:11):
So these these protesters, these progressive activists, have organized what
they're calling the ice Tea Party.

Speaker 1 (17:20):
So they're gonna go out to they're gonna go on the.

Speaker 3 (17:24):
Harbor, on the pier out there where they have the
where they have the little tour ship, the little replica ship.
I fear been down there, and they're gonna throw ice
in the water, which means they're gonna throw water in
the water.

Speaker 1 (17:38):
That's it.

Speaker 3 (17:38):
That's the protest. I don't know how Trump recovers from this.
I don't know how Ice recovers from this. They're going
to throw ice in the water. The protest, set for
December sixteenth, will protest the Trump administration's immigration crackdown and
will coincide with the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party.
So they did look some stuff up in which a

(18:00):
grieved colonists dumped hundreds of chests of tea into the
harbor and seventeen seventy three to protest taxation with our representation, Uh,
here we go. Samantha McGarry, spokesperson for one of these
nameless progressive organizations, is one of the Organized Mass five
oh five oh one, I don't know, and Boston Indivisible.

(18:20):
So the Indivisible is kind of known, and they've it's
a commy thing anyway. So with that of mine, we're
we're now. Are they gonna dress up as Native Americans?

Speaker 5 (18:36):
No?

Speaker 3 (18:36):
Oh, what a bunch of cowards. Yeah, they're just gonna
wear their standard uh Antifa. Look, probably we're peed off
and we're gonna show it. Said Rebecca Winner, executive director
of that nameless thing I just told you about. Let's
see here, fifty star Oh that's what the fifty to
fifty oh one, fifty states fifty protests one movement.

Speaker 1 (18:59):
Yeah, how does that work in Wyoming?

Speaker 3 (19:03):
I mean maybe if you go to one part of
the campus, the University of Wyoming and Laramie.

Speaker 1 (19:07):
But you're not gonna pull numbers there.

Speaker 3 (19:10):
But all right, it would have sounded dumb to be
forty nine forty nine to one, I guess.

Speaker 1 (19:14):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (19:16):
Uh yeah, so they're they're gonna go and they're going
to ceremonially ceremonial.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Wow, I can't say that word.

Speaker 3 (19:23):
This morning, they're they're uh, they're literally gonna put water
in water. You know, I did this this morning. Actually
I didn't realize I was a protester. They get up,
go get the little ice and a little water right there,
you know, and uh, get that going in your system
as well, because I made bad decisions last night.

Speaker 1 (19:42):
So I want to watch the.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
Football game, and I'm like, I'm gonna pour myself a
finger of this. Uh, this this really nice rum that
I acquired recently. And uh, because like if you get
to the high end RUMs, it's kind of the bourbon thing,
which I I'm enjoyed. I don't like the super sweet stuff,
but I recommend you look into it. And then well,

(20:04):
I was pouring said finger, one finger. I was gonna
have there of this. Something exciting happened. I don't remember
what it was, and I looked away and before I
knew it, there was like more than one finger. And
now it's out of the bottle. So I required legally,
I think, to drink it. And then I'm like, well,
I better dilute that. So I had a one of
the tall cans of a craft beer pernicious, if any

(20:28):
of you know that, I like that, and so I
diluted it with that.

Speaker 5 (20:33):
Twice.

Speaker 3 (20:34):
And so that that water and the ice in the
water this morning was a bit of a lifesaver waking
up because I was a little dehydrated. So did I
just protest the government? I don't know how that works.
That's what they're doing. Ain't gonna break them down with this.
That's great, that's like, just be more creative. Now you

(20:57):
got to dress up as something I implore you to
figure out. So I understand you're not gonna do the
Native American stuff unless Elizabeth Warren shows up, then she
can rock it, right, but yeah, yeah, nobody's gonna care
and everyone's gonna laugh at you.

Speaker 1 (21:12):
So you might as well have costumes on. But you
could wear the big dinosaur inflatable dinosaur thing.

Speaker 3 (21:19):
Or we had at the at the Toys for Tots event,
somebody acquired a giant inflatable gingerbread costume and was.

Speaker 1 (21:29):
Where a few different people were wearing it. I did
not wear it.

Speaker 3 (21:32):
And you know, it's clearly, clearly humorous looking, but there
was one young child in a car seat in or
in a in the seat in the cart whose mom
pushed him by and he immediately burst into tears. So
it made a lot of kids happy, but terrified that
young man. My point is, you guys could do that,
and the gingerbread costume. I want to say, I want

(21:56):
to say, Jade, you were there the day they had
the gingerbread costume?

Speaker 1 (21:59):
Right?

Speaker 3 (22:00):
Were you there at that day? I can't remember. Oh, hey,
Ja's baby, Oh Jame's putting them?

Speaker 1 (22:06):
Oh you didn't.

Speaker 3 (22:07):
So so Erica was wearing it and then Eric White
was wird. Yes, yes, so yeah, that terrified a kid there.
But she go out to that Walmart, I think so
it's they're not expensive guys, you could go get them.
Just trying to help UH to grab this call, Hey Jamal,
what's up?

Speaker 8 (22:28):
Hey kase See, I just want to say this real
quick about that idiot Ben Thompson. I just want to
say this about this idiot. Wasn't saying yes, he's a Democrat,
He's an idiot. He's been there for too long. Whether
of those so called congressional black do nothing for the
community Congress. But let me say this, I'm much more
mad at the Republican who was the chairman, Carmero, who

(22:52):
sat right there, because if you see the whole video,
I'm pretty sure you did. You know this. He kept
trying to tell her he goa reclaim his time, and
he looked over there, you know, and the guy says,
what's up? That Republican right there should have dug into
him right there. And this is the thing about the
Republican Party that makes me mad. When that idiot said

(23:13):
that right there, every republim that there was one. If
you hear him, he didn't say the elk verb, and
he did say he didn't say it, but he said.

Speaker 1 (23:22):
You know, let me just say this.

Speaker 3 (23:24):
Tomnome pushback clearly in the audio that I played there.

Speaker 1 (23:28):
But when they went but.

Speaker 3 (23:30):
When they went to subsequent Republicans, they also but they
have procedural rules who you're not allowed to individually attack
another member, so they have to do it in that
real cute So you know, my esteemed colleague from Mississippi
is a blithering idiot, right, So like they did give
him a little on the backside there, But I don't
know that the chairman's screaming at him. I don't know

(23:52):
procedurally if they can even do that.

Speaker 8 (23:56):
Actually they can, because I remember when the Democrats was running,
they attacked, They attacked when they entered the Gates and stuff.
For the quote unquote January sixth hearing the Commission of
Being Thomas, he attacked Gates. He sat down and said
Gates was lying. He sat down and said, oh, he
was doing it. And Democrats break the decorum all the time.

(24:18):
And this is, like I said, my biggest come point
with Republicans. We try to uphold the institutions that the
Democrats tear down. And when they get back in power,
they're not going to say, well look at them Republicans
they was upholding. They're going to.

Speaker 3 (24:32):
Disagree with you, Jamal, I'm just trying to explain the
lay of the land there. So what you're yes, I
have seen the Democrats do that, and uh and we've
seen it on.

Speaker 1 (24:41):
The full house floor.

Speaker 3 (24:42):
They just had uh not Crockett, who was it was
uh clearly well, I mean Crockett in the sense that
she she lied about other members of Congress and the
Jeffrey Epsteins. Yeah, you know, so like I understand that
they break the korn, but maybe he just didn't want
to and maybe no home pushing back and and look,
anybody with a brain, I don't care listen to Thompson

(25:04):
say that and knows that it's fundamentally incorrect. Even if
they like Bennie Thompson, like they realize that what this
guy just said is is that's a horrible rendition of
how that happened. I don't even know what he was
going for, what he was trying to Casey.

Speaker 8 (25:18):
I'm just gonna say this real quick. You just sat
here right before you just sat there and talked about
these idiots is on dumb ice in the part in
the harbor about ice. So when you say about no
one with the brain, Bennie Thompson got people with no
brains is voting for him. The Democrats got people with
no brains to voting for them, so they're gonna see

(25:41):
what he said. And I actually, if you used to
go on Wine, you see people say that Bennie Thompson
was pushing back. Bennie Thompson was strong. So if you
because because I give it to that crazy atmosphere, there
are people that were saying Benny Thompson hand in.

Speaker 1 (25:55):
That those people exist.

Speaker 3 (25:56):
But and you know Benny Thompson, but Benny Thompson is
in super safe blue district, uh, hunkered down there in Mississippi,
and so you're not necessarily going to change those minds.
But the fringe people do not dictate the totality of
what the US House.

Speaker 1 (26:12):
Is looking at.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
And Benny Thompson looked really bad even in front of
modern Democrats for saying that that's so incorating because they
have they have elevated military members in the same hearing
to try to shame Gnome for deporting him even though
she didn't deport him. You understand what I'm saying, it's
both sides out of your mouth there on the Democrat

(26:34):
side there, But they do.

Speaker 8 (26:36):
That, Chasey. And here's my thing.

Speaker 3 (26:39):
I know that I know that they do it. I'm
not disagreeing with you at all on that tomorrow. I
know I know that they do it. And and anyone
who analyzed that should be able to pick up on
it with with the exception of commie idiots who want
to go throw water into water, who can do whatever
they want. And you and frankly but probably hate everybody
up there because they're not commy enough.

Speaker 8 (27:00):
Right, Yes, And like I said, when he said that,
I sat there. I almost felt I sat that and
I stopped while we would work. I was riding my
little golf cart doing and I just stopped. I said,
what did that idiot just say?

Speaker 2 (27:14):
Right?

Speaker 8 (27:14):
And even though she pushed back to me, that's something
I hope and pray. President Trump mentioned and he constantly
talked about because the Democrats, when we say something quote
unquote races or hurtful, they play it, the media play it.
But it's time for us to take the same deal

(27:36):
because as we have seen right now, Ben Thompson get
to make comments like that one because he's black, because
that had been someone white. You know, I'll be honest,
has that been a white conservative or a black conservative,
it had been off there, but they get to make
comments like that and they get to high and no
one takes some apart because they don't want to see
racists because he's black, and they don't want to sit

(27:56):
there and make a lot. They're attacking a Democrat. And
so to me, yes, Christian Long pushed back like I
said that one congressman. As soon as as Benny Thompson
got finished talking, he jumped in. And then the next
guy he said a look something. But to me, Casey,
if the Republican Party don't start pushing back and start
fighting more, because.

Speaker 3 (28:17):
Yeah, okay, and I you know Trump's doing this affordability tour.

Speaker 1 (28:22):
Uh He's you know he's going. He had where was
he The first one was up in.

Speaker 5 (28:25):
Pennsylvania, Philadelphia?

Speaker 1 (28:27):
Philadelphia?

Speaker 3 (28:29):
Yeah yeah, So so he's got more of these coming up.
And the guy he he loves in court. You've been
to a Trump You've been to Trump's rallies, right and
Tamal you've been You're on one of okay, but my point.

Speaker 8 (28:40):
No, remember remember they all.

Speaker 3 (28:42):
Yeah okay, But like I went, I covered two of
them when they were in North Carolina. One down at
Charlotte and another one over at the fair Grounds. I
didn't make it out to the one in Salem but
or not down to Joco, But yeah, man, uh, I
did drive by that one. I saw how many people
were there and there was cars park literally just kind

(29:04):
of abandoned on the highway.

Speaker 1 (29:05):
It was crazy.

Speaker 3 (29:05):
But if you've listened to him, he just he talks
about anything and everything. So the idea that he might
incorporate it, and thanks for the call, Jamal, I probably
probably will at some point. He's always talked to the media.
He needs material. But I you know, the people that
are going around doing interviews, and I saw some subsequent
interviews are making a point to bring this up within
the administration Scott Thompson over on CNN, So yeah, I again,

(29:31):
I understand all the double standards.

Speaker 1 (29:33):
I don't disagree with any of them.

Speaker 3 (29:34):
I'm just here to analyze stuff, and in my analysis,
the biggest thing that's going to defeat what Benny Thompson said,
which when we played again, if you're just joining us.

Speaker 6 (29:45):
Mount of Secretary of you and the gentleman from CTS
n CTC reference the unfortunate accident that occurred with the
National guardsman.

Speaker 9 (29:58):
I keel you think that that was an unfortunate accident.

Speaker 6 (30:02):
I mean, is a terrible wait wait look, I'll get
it straight, and then.

Speaker 9 (30:05):
You can shot our National guardsman in the head?

Speaker 6 (30:08):
Look was Sam? Will you direct witness to allow me
to ask my question?

Speaker 1 (30:14):
All right?

Speaker 3 (30:15):
So, so the biggest thing that we'll defeat that is
common sense, and well not everyone possesses it, and some
are politically blinded, and some people are just stupid. I
think most Americans sit there and see that and at
the very least roll the rise, yeah, or you know,
punch the air or just scream with the TV man.

(30:37):
So we'll see how it plays out, all right, six
fifty hang on, And I understand sports, especially subjective sports
stuff is great because I love engaging in the arguments, right,
making fun of you know, Pats fans getting angry email
from Boston. Paul's probably three sheets to the wind when
I'm doing it or when he's doing it. That's fine.

(30:58):
I love it. That's that was a catch. That wasn't
a catch.

Speaker 1 (31:02):
Of course.

Speaker 3 (31:02):
The insane debate surrounding the teams that will be going
and playing for the college championship in football and how
they got there and who didn't get there, and this
crazy thing with Notre Dame where now it looks like
a bunch of other teams are gonna file some sort
of protests and who knows, maybe not schedule them because

(31:23):
Notre Dame was so mad. They've apparently got somebody to
agree that that they'll be guaranteed in under certain conditions
next year. That's not how this should work. I understand
all of that. That being said, I can make a
really good argument why this is dumb. So Time magazine
has named the athlete of the Year, and understand it

(31:46):
is a combination of things, so it is subjective, right,
but it's mostly about that athlete's impact on sports, not
just the sports that they play, but in sports in general,
so they leave them. So was a wide berth there
last year the Athlete of the Year was Caitlyn Clark,
and there were people pushing back, and I get that.

(32:08):
Their argument was that while yes, Caitlyn Clark was the
highest profile person right coming into the hype, there was crazy.
She put butts in seats and she expanded broadcast contracts,
marketing contracts for everyone within her sport. So you could

(32:28):
at least make that argument now The person who is
this year's Athlete of the Year is another WNBA player.

Speaker 1 (32:35):
Aza Wilson, And welcome.

Speaker 3 (32:37):
It is seven to six here on your Friday morning. Hey,
before I put the finishing touches on the sports thing,
because Time magazine for two years down, for the second
year in a row, is named the sports Person of
the year.

Speaker 1 (32:53):
This is across all sports.

Speaker 3 (32:56):
And you are supposed to be the most impactful, not
just for your team, but for whatever whatever you participate in.
And last year was Caitlyn Clark. And I think a
stronger argument could be made for Kaitlyn Clark because it
was it wasn't necessarily about the numbers, it was about
the hype that was there, which actually resulted in an

(33:17):
expansion of their sport and especially an expansion of the
revenue of their sport.

Speaker 1 (33:23):
So there's that.

Speaker 3 (33:25):
And the woman this year is Ajah Wilson. She was MVP,
she was Vitals MVP, she was scoring leader, I believe,
and defensive Player of the Year.

Speaker 1 (33:34):
So obviously she is very good at what she does.

Speaker 3 (33:37):
That being said, let me tell you about something real
stunning and brave, real quick you hear that? That is
that is ice that I have put into tea rather
than just dumping ice into the harbor.

Speaker 1 (33:51):
I went full reverse.

Speaker 3 (33:52):
Uno and one up the Boston comedies. So that's tea
with ice in it. So I am a brave protest
or two. All right, So here here's what I'd say
with time. I don't know how you you think that
there is anybody in sports in the last year that
has been more impactful and more deserving than Shay Show.

Speaker 1 (34:16):
Hey, Otani, I'm not even a Dodgers fan, okay.

Speaker 3 (34:20):
But the like he did, he didn't just win the stuff, right, Okay,
let me he just win this stuff right, clearly won
the World Series two. Now, remember he's only about the
Dodgers for two years, and he's and he's given him
I pulled the stats here, one hundred and nine home runs,
two hundred and.

Speaker 1 (34:41):
Thirty two RBIs. These are this is two years.

Speaker 3 (34:46):
He has an E he has an E R O
A E R A and the two's that's And the
other amazing thing is he pitches and he hits and
they still pitch him. He used to be you know,
big hitters were pitchers like Ruth back in the day.
But then he realized because of the way we rotate people.
You don't want that bat to be silent four out
of five games. So they figured out how to get

(35:08):
him in to do both, and he did something else.
Do you guys know what the forty forty club is?
So the forty forty club is a very elite group
of individuals. There are only six players, and it requires
that you hit forty home runs and steal forty bases
in a single season, and only six people have done it.

(35:29):
Jose Canseco, Barry bonds a rod Alex Rodriguez, Soriano, Who's
oh Acuna Ronald Acuna? And then show Heeyotani. But Shoyotani
didn't just do that. He created a new club called
the fifty to fifty Club, which had never been done
in baseball ever. In the entirety of baseball, nobody had

(35:55):
hit fifty home runs and stolen fifty bases in a
single season.

Speaker 1 (35:59):
It's not a thing, but now it's a thing.

Speaker 3 (36:03):
So this guy has been just blowing up for the
last two years, and uh no, he's.

Speaker 1 (36:11):
Not the guy. Come on again, I'm not necessary, I'm
not even that big.

Speaker 3 (36:16):
Of a baseball fan per se, but I'm and I'm
not a Dodgers fan. But dude's amazing to watch. I
think it was one of those people who's really into
baseball and really with all the steroids stuff.

Speaker 5 (36:28):
I just like.

Speaker 3 (36:30):
Because although my theory was, don't crack down, let them
all take steroids. It'd be amazing all the pro athletes.
You know, much more fun football would be if they're
all roided up. Yeah, probably some more injuries, but you know,
i'd be entertained. So yeah, I'm gonna go ahead and
reject Time Magazine. Although Time Magazine is a ghost of

(36:52):
its former self anyway, so I don't know that anyone
takes them seriously, but there you go. All right, So
this is what I want to talk about. And I
already got emails from teasing this. So Trump signed an
executive order yesterday.

Speaker 1 (37:07):
Oh yep, we'll fight grab the correct one.

Speaker 3 (37:10):
Uh So, we signed an executive order yesterday concerning AI.
And look, it's a AI is a complex thing because
you don't just have races among the tech companies here
in the United States. All right, that's that's that's one
side of this. But you also have US competing against China.
Is often brought up, but China is not the only one.

(37:30):
But they're probably our main competition on the AI front.
Europe's essentially taking themselves out of it through over regulation
and cracking down a tech companies. Nobody wants anything to
do with them. That being said, uh, we we we
have a very good head start. I don't know enough

(37:52):
about where China's at, other than to hear a lot
of people, uh say that, you know, they're either right
on our heels or some in some instances might be
getting ahead of us because you get propaganda out of there.

Speaker 1 (38:05):
But they're working on it.

Speaker 3 (38:08):
And the difference between the US and China is if
Chinese government says this is a priority, which they clearly have,
and and they and they and they move forward with that,
there is not provinces within China that are going to
create separate laws that impact what that AI can do.

(38:30):
Whereas here in the United States we have several states
that have already passed legislation concerning AI. And so the
question becomes, should should there be state regulations on AI
or should it clearly be at the best of the Feds,
so that there's nothing standing in the way for our

(38:51):
companies here in the US to compete with China. That's
what Trump's thing is about, and it's because he doesn't
want it.

Speaker 5 (38:59):
Now.

Speaker 3 (39:00):
When you look into the laws that have been passed
surrounding AI, what you're dealing with is a lot of
its kids stuff, right, which you know that makes sense,
That makes sense, But there are other regulations that are
in the hopper right now, with a lot of it

(39:22):
having to do with transparency. And some companies have said
that you can't get too transparent because then are they'll
essentially steal our intellectual property in some instances.

Speaker 1 (39:37):
So I guess my.

Speaker 3 (39:37):
Question to you is should should it be up to
AI regulation? Should it be solely up to the executive
branch of the government, or should states as we are
fifty peatri dishes you know of a republic? Should should
states be able to crack down? Because in North Carolina
we do things different than the Feds do than other

(39:58):
states do certain certain instances. So I'm curious what you
think eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven
four Should we should the Is this a good idea?
I guess is how I'll ask the question, is it
a good idea to have this executive order? Which I'm
sure they'll sue him over because they always do. Right,

(40:21):
I want to grab this other story because they had
the state's examples in it. Sorry I had the one
without it, but he gave some examples of current laws.
All right, Yeah, so this would executive order, would order
blocking states from enforcing their own regulations around AHI. Now,
if you want to be nimble, right, this is how
you do it. And I think that's Trump's thing, because

(40:44):
he's that's his business mind. He just like, all right,
we don't need anything standing.

Speaker 1 (40:48):
In our way.

Speaker 3 (40:49):
We're gonna work, work, work, We're gonna get this done,
and we're gonna we're gonna beat the other team. And
you know, and back in the day, it was another corporation.
Now it's another country or another group of countries. Should
they And and by the way, they say that they
are not going to challenge state laws. And this is
a quote, but I read the executive order and I

(41:10):
don't really see the carve out.

Speaker 1 (41:12):
Yeah, here we go.

Speaker 3 (41:13):
David Sacks, venture capitalist who's leading mister Trump's policy. Sacks,
by the way, is huge investments in AI. So he's
you know, whether that's good or bad, he's how you
feel about that. He's definitely plugged in on this thing.
And he said Thursday the Trump administration would only push
back on the most onerous examples of state regulation, but
would oppose kid safety measures. All right, So here we

(41:35):
go four states, Colorado, California, Utah, and Texas. So you're
that you're dealing with blue and red states here have
passed laws that set rules on AI across the private sector.
Those laws include limiting the collection of certain personal information
and requiring more transparency from companies. The laws are a

(41:57):
response to AI that already pervades everyday life. Tchnology helps
make consequential decisions for Americans. This is the stuff that
makes me nervous making consequential decisions for Americans, including who
gets a job, interview an apartment, lease, a home loan,
and even certain medical care. And then this is why
AI that's woke is in those You don't want WOKAI

(42:17):
making those decisions. I don't know if you want AI
making the decisions, but you sure don't want wok.

Speaker 1 (42:24):
I'm making it where they got where they got to.

Speaker 3 (42:26):
Build inequity, and you know, whatever fever dreamy they decide
is the most important, that's not good. But research has
shown that it can make mistakes in those decisions, including
by prioritizing a particular gender or race. That's how CBS
News writes it. I think I said it better so

(42:48):
and you may like it.

Speaker 1 (42:49):
All right.

Speaker 3 (42:49):
So Trump's full steam ahead. He wants to get this
thing accomplished. Let's go, go, go. But he'll be gone
next year or in a few years. And you don't
know that it's going to be a Republican in there.

Speaker 1 (43:03):
Gavin Newsom in there. H shuddered a little. It could
be Gavin Newsom in there. And do you think having.

Speaker 3 (43:12):
The total the ability to steer AI and what it's
doing in states won't be allowed to intercede or stop
him is a good idea because I don't necessarily, so
I throw it out to you.

Speaker 1 (43:23):
Eight eight eight nine.

Speaker 3 (43:24):
Three four seven eight seven four all right, Jimmy, you're
up first, go right ahead, Yes, Casey.

Speaker 7 (43:32):
How about AI? Actually, there are right now no card
grails on it, no safety of regulations on it at all.
I think of it like credit cards that charge horrendous
interest rate or stock pumping them if there's no revolution.

(43:56):
There are a lot of frauds going.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
On, and we need credit card.

Speaker 3 (44:01):
But credit cards do have guardrails they have we have
usually I know now the usually laws that are under
thirty percent we have for some time, which is still high.
I don't disagree with you, but there are some guardrails there.

Speaker 4 (44:15):
Yeah, that's right.

Speaker 7 (44:17):
But let's say for I know, AI needs that type
of guardrails. That's why I'm meant like stock pump and
dumps and insider trading stuff.

Speaker 3 (44:31):
Yeah, when now you're getting over to the criminal side
of it. But yeah, I think the transparency thing is
where you're going to see and thanks for the cuage.
I means we're going to see a lot of this
pushback because there are companies competing against other companies, competing
against China on these fronts, and everybody wants shiny ai,
you know, to be able to say that their service,
their business, whatever they're doing, has some AI attached. We

(44:53):
have an AI assistant through Microsoft what is it Cortana.

Speaker 1 (44:58):
Or whatever, No, it's whatever it is is.

Speaker 3 (45:00):
And uh, there are there are a thousand different ways
that I can use that AI.

Speaker 1 (45:08):
To, you know, conduct business, radio business. It doesn't. It
does a lot. I was I you know, there's more.

Speaker 3 (45:15):
I saw the they had a big rollout for the salespeople,
and I was like blown away with what the what
they've adapted this thing to.

Speaker 1 (45:24):
Do for our sellers? Crazy?

Speaker 3 (45:28):
Crazy, I mean we mostly use AI to make stupid picks.
But over on the sales side, it is it is
very much tied into how they were. I hope I'm
not gonna get in trouble because I think everyone's doing
this but.

Speaker 4 (45:40):
Like it.

Speaker 3 (45:40):
Really it really keeps you on task. I don't know
everyone likes it because you know, change, but it's very impressive,
very impressive. So these things are going to exist out
there and businesses are going to want to market this
stuff to other people. So the government is on the
regulatory side. And if they're saying you can't regulate it
and they're the only ones, I'm assuming that they think

(46:01):
they're the only ones who can. It's all going to
depend on who's who, who's in Congress and who's in
the White House and not you know, your local lawmakers.

Speaker 1 (46:12):
So that's the thing, all right.

Speaker 3 (46:14):
Eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Reminder we got Pete Caleen or he'll be joining us.
That is at eight oh five, they had a ruling
in the the murder trial for the the a Q
shooter of Charlie Kirk who was all smiles and laughing
it up. I don't know if you saw any of that,
didn't didn't like that much. But this is going to

(46:37):
be an absolute how do I say, It's gonna be
a little crazy, okay, but but I'm okay with this ruling.

Speaker 1 (46:46):
I'll explain why.

Speaker 3 (46:47):
So we'll get into that more on the Minnesota fraud,
which is just insane.

Speaker 1 (46:52):
And good news.

Speaker 3 (46:53):
Apparently you can hit police officers now, not just with
sandwiches either. I know, I know, I can't wait to
see the videos on this stuff. I'll explain coming up
CaCO Day radio program. So you remember I told you
that as part of the World Cup matches next year,
which are in North America, most are in the US,

(47:14):
ones in Canada, and three locations in Mexico's I believe
the breakdown, one of the cities, one of the host
cities in this case, Seattle, is going to pair their
match as a gay pride event, the World Cup's first
ever gay pride match. FIFA's on board with this, by

(47:34):
the way, so it's not like this the city's doing
it around them. This is an official sanctioned thing with FIFA,
and so that was set up before they drew the teams,
so they didn't know what teams were going to be
playing there, and then they drew and lo and behold.
It's Egypt and Iran, both of which I have criminal
penalties for homosexuality, one of which still enforces from a

(47:57):
governmental standpoint, the death penalty in certain cases. Egypt, that's
more of a vigilante thing, but it still happens. But
I ran, and so as predicted, both companies or both
countries are losing their crap and have filed official complaints
and requests with FIFA. Apparently in Washington, D C. If
you want to throw sandwiches at federal officers or city

(48:20):
police officers for that matter, law enforcement officers, apparently you
can do that. Did they let that one do?

Speaker 5 (48:27):
Go?

Speaker 1 (48:29):
Not guilty?

Speaker 3 (48:31):
Even though there's you know, there's no debate as to
whether he threw the sandwich or not.

Speaker 1 (48:35):
So that's to me. I guess settle law up in
d C. Up in New Jersey. I don't know. We'll
see if this works.

Speaker 3 (48:44):
You remember the congresswoman who was showed up at one
of the ice detention.

Speaker 1 (48:52):
Facilities and there was a scrum.

Speaker 3 (48:57):
Maybe I don't know if scrum is the right word,
and she is on video you can see it, shoving
one of the.

Speaker 1 (49:04):
Ice officers.

Speaker 3 (49:07):
Now knock her down, probably didn't even injure them. But
you don't get to do that, is what I always
what I've always heard, even if you're a member of Congress.
I know it's crazy, but it seems now the defense
on this is going to be that it was a
light push, and light pushing is not assault. And already

(49:29):
they've got some of the media carrying this water, including
James Surrowicki, who is a writer for The Atlantic, who,
as you well know, hates Trump and everyone around him
with a blinding passion. So yeah, he's on the lightly
pushing is not assault. Several members of Congress are using
the same defense to defend their colleague there who claim

(49:52):
that she is as a member of Congress, I have
pride oversight and so I can do whatever I want,
which is not exactly how that works, right, But in
any case, you still don't get to shove police, and
they're not be consequences, and she was charged in this case.
Alena Habba, who was a longtime attorney for Trump, who

(50:12):
is now in New Jersey US Attorney's office there, and
she brought the charges because it's on video she shoved
a police officer. But if we're gonna go down this road, where, oh,
will they lightly pushed the officer? How's that gonna work out?
I mean, you can already throw a sandwich at him
in the in the nation's capital. So what now? Now

(50:36):
we can hipcheck police and that's cool. How's a text
I texted a guy who knows a police officer. He
does not think that's good. That would end well.

Speaker 1 (50:45):
He's right, probably not gonna end well. But this is
I guess the argument and the defense we're gonna go with.
So uh, all right, here we go.

Speaker 3 (50:56):
Can't wait to watch all those body cam videos because
I don't think it's to go. Hey, you think it's
gonna go, Just like with putting body cams on every
police officer. I didn't go how activists thought it was
going to go, did it? So we'll see what happens here.
All right, let's go ahead and get over to this.
So they were spit roasting AOC on the yesterday after

(51:20):
her third third quarter financials were posted and showed that
she was doing a lot of traveling. Man doing a
whole lot of traveling to Puerto Rico, and I was
spending in excess of fifty thousand dollars.

Speaker 1 (51:41):
Just in the third quarter for her travels.

Speaker 3 (51:45):
And they have a breakdown here, and I'm going to
defend her on one of these things, and then I'll
just let the mob have around the rest of it,
because again I do actually, I know this is crazy.
I kind of like it when we try to be
accurate on stuff. So I am I'm gonna hold myself
to that. So the first lines here now, and remember

(52:06):
this is all in the context of her and Bertie
Sanders and they're eat the Rich tour, no oligarchs, and
her just her her background. As you know, I'm poor
and I'm from the streets and I'm here to help
the people are pouring from the streets. And that's fine,
that's your attitude. Clearly it resonated with voters. And so

(52:31):
she you know, people watch her, people watch what she's doing.
And in that in that instance there was videos emerging
of her and Bernie flying private jets to go do
that tour. It just you look like a giant hypocrite,
is what I'm getting at. Now here, this is the headline,
AOC splurge nearly fifty k on pricey hotel stays, dining,

(52:52):
and renting a Puerto Rican concert venue where Bad Bunny performed.
That's a little overstated. I'll give you the d tels,
so so they go here. First, the campaign committee sholled
out six hundred and eighty dollars for one night's hotels stay.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
I just hate the New York Post.

Speaker 3 (53:10):
Sometimes I don't care about your pop up bad go Away,
And that was this is just in the third quarter,
So six point eighty for a single hotel stay at
the Palatio Provincial, which actually was very near where the
hotel I stayed when I went to Puerto Rico, and

(53:32):
it's a very nice looking hotel. Then there's others for
let's see nine thousand dollars on September twenty ninth. That
was for multiple rooms. She got staff traveling with her,
and there's a bunch of these. Here's the only here's
the only thing.

Speaker 1 (53:46):
I'll say. Hotels in Puerto Rico in.

Speaker 3 (53:50):
That in San Juan, especially in old town, but also
as you go down to where the kind of the
beach things are, which is a little further east, are reallysive,
like shockingly expensive for hotels branded brand name hotels Marriott.
In fact, the Palatio Provincial is I remember seeing the

(54:11):
pricing on it because it's under the Bonvoy. I think
it's one of their specialty hotels camera what they call them.
And it was really expensive, so I did not stay there.
I ended up staying. I did end up staying though,
at a Hilton Garden Inn is where I stayed there,
and it was two hundred and twenty dollars. It was
like the cheapest thing I could find there, and it
was fine.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
But the hotels, yeah, six p' eighty. That was for
one night.

Speaker 3 (54:37):
That's I think what the Palatio I think it was
like six seven hundred when I saw it.

Speaker 1 (54:42):
But that's not the bigger.

Speaker 3 (54:44):
Problem, No, because when she's down there and this is
where things get just Oh. She also stayed at the
Old Convento, which is this huge beach thing.

Speaker 5 (54:54):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (54:55):
I don't know how many rooms she had.

Speaker 3 (54:57):
But what was crazy is she also rent and they're
saying a concert venue. What she did is she went
to a bad Bunny concert that was going on in
San Juan there and she rented like a luxury box.
I guess with how I would describe it, it was
kind of a They have a picture it's like a
cabana setup for the concert, which I guess just keeping

(55:18):
with the Caribbean theme there. And that cost her twenty
three thousand dollars so that she could go. She'd go
watch this concert with friends. So here's what I'm saying.
If you want to go, if you want to go
to fly to San Juan, Puerto Rico, and you want
to stay at the convento or the provincial and walk
around to old Son Juan and tour and you can
afford it great, I don't have a problem. And if

(55:39):
you want to go, drop twenty three k at for
a private box at concert, do what you gotta do.
By the way, here's who she was partying with in
in said box, Lebron James, Iggy Azalea, Penelope Cruz, Austin Butler,
among others. So who who could have afforded this? Like

(56:00):
Lebron James probably got that in his pocket. So I
don't know, I don't know, I don't know what's going
on there. But you can't then run around and say
that anyone with money is is evil and carning because.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
You just look like a big old hypocrite.

Speaker 3 (56:14):
And again I defended you on the hotels. Maybe not
the beach one there, but I don't know how many
rooms she had, but yeah, yeah.

Speaker 1 (56:21):
Yeah, yeah. The other stuff.

Speaker 3 (56:25):
You it's just it's just another and along line of pattern,
and it's in you know what, it's got to be tempting.
This is the thing about Congress that all of us
not in Congress sit there and look at it and go,
how do you get come and buy all this money?
The heck's going on. Boy, you're a good stock trader
and nobody wants to do nothing.

Speaker 1 (56:44):
So there you go.

Speaker 3 (56:46):
All right, seven forty three KCO Day radio program. Mister
Ray Stagic from the weather Tailor's here to get your
calls to Mike hang on a grabor call here next.
All right, Ray, give us a beautiful weekend so we
can all.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Go outside and have fun.

Speaker 5 (57:02):
Kill the minus.

Speaker 1 (57:05):
You get yourself back.

Speaker 10 (57:07):
Yeah, that's right, big Arctic glast coming, that's going to
be later.

Speaker 1 (57:14):
We hold on.

Speaker 3 (57:15):
I'm not gonna let you do it. If you're still
getting it, are you still getting fed back on you? Y?
You need to fix Ray's mixed minus because he's hearing
himself back on him. So whenever you did to fix
it yesterday.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Do that again. Okay, try that, mister Ray, all right, hey,
can you hear me?

Speaker 5 (57:31):
Awesome? Nice, that's a lot better, alight, cool, Okay, Now.

Speaker 1 (57:36):
Reward us. Reward us with good weather.

Speaker 5 (57:38):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (57:39):
One day of the next four or five days are
going to be good, and that's tomorrow only because today
will be a little chilly, in a little bit forties
and maybe even a couple of snow flurries, especially triad
and out towards Boone, and it's southwest Virginia. Sprinkle of
rain if you see something flying around in the air,
goes on the wind, chill you, hey, snow flur Otherwise

(58:00):
sun and clouds with those lit mid forties a near
thirty tonight, depends on where you are on either side
of thirty. And then tomorrow's milder, back close to her,
maybe maybe even just a little bit below average, but
still load of mid fifties steen about fifty two and
fifty six a good looking day. And then they are
to the front of command. You'll have a little bit
of rain, maybe a little bit of snow mixing in

(58:21):
with that before it ends, but no accumulating rain or snow,
and that best chance will be try it into the mountains.

Speaker 5 (58:27):
Load of mid.

Speaker 10 (58:28):
Forties on Sunday. I think temperatures are going to drop
and drop significantly by Monday morning. Load of mid teens
Monday morning. That's actual air temperatures, Casey, that's not wind chill.
So it's going to be the coldest area scene.

Speaker 5 (58:41):
Yeah, I know.

Speaker 10 (58:42):
Sorry, sorry, but it's a brief visit. Load of mid
thirties for High's Monday, and then we're back to the
twenties Tuesday morning in the mid upper forties. Tuesday afternoon fifties.
And you're really gonna like the middle end of next week,
probably getting well into the sixties. As a well advertised
warm up is on the way. It's probably gonna stick
around right into Christmas. So I think we're done after

(59:03):
this next Arctic front that comes through Sunday into Monday,
and we'll start slowly warming up in an extended period
of probably dry, mild weather middle and into the probably
most of the end of next week.

Speaker 5 (59:15):
And what are you?

Speaker 1 (59:16):
What are you?

Speaker 5 (59:17):
Hiatus?

Speaker 3 (59:18):
So the nineteenth, So next Friday is our last show
and January fifth, right, Okay, I'm gonna send you guys
an email, but yeah, all.

Speaker 5 (59:26):
Next week, gotcha, So yeah, I'll be here.

Speaker 3 (59:28):
Cool, fun, fun, thank you. Ye yep, there you go,
Race Agic from the Weather Channel. All right, Like I said,
we'll grab grab some calls and then i'll just pro
I'm going to primary you on one of the stories
I'm going to talk to Pete about.

Speaker 1 (59:41):
It's it's really horrific. And for a moment I thought
that they were getting their crap together down in Mecklenburg County.
But it's not quite that simple.

Speaker 3 (59:50):
So stick around all coming up cac O Day Radio program.
All right, let me grab this this phone call. Mike's
been hanging on on the AI stuff.

Speaker 1 (59:58):
Mike, what's up? Hello, Micer there, good morning, Hey morning,
Go right ahead, sir.

Speaker 2 (01:00:08):
Yeah, you know, I'm a little disappointed this this executive
order will allow national data collection that Trump signed yesterday.
I mean, I was really hoping that, you know, we
would see more firm action out of the government when
it comes when it comes to data collection. And I
mean I always says, hey, we don't want to we
don't want to lose to China in the AI War,

(01:00:30):
but you know, two days ago we're selling more advanced
chips to China, And I mean this is this is
that data collection. This is at its core the states
want to regulate it. The government and the big money.
They want to just collect everything you do online.

Speaker 3 (01:00:44):
So well and the other there is another piece to
another component to this too is these data centers have
turned into a pretty nasty fights in some of the
local communities.

Speaker 1 (01:00:55):
Memphis would be I guess the best example.

Speaker 3 (01:00:57):
Because of what they're going to need as you ramp
up AI are these huge, huge facilities. They use a
lot of resources, a lot of water, a lot of electricity.

Speaker 7 (01:01:08):
And.

Speaker 3 (01:01:10):
You know, I don't I understand people not wanting it
near them, But I think some of this is just
hype politicized, which then means, you know what if they
start passing laws in these state and blue states and
that they can't put any data centers there, and I
don't know how you handle that. I don't know how
the FEDS can tell the states that they have to
build something there. And yeah, I think Trump will invoked

(01:01:33):
that this is a national security issue, and he's partially
right on that, So I don't know it's going to
be interesting.

Speaker 2 (01:01:39):
Well, you know, China's really good at a few things,
data collection being one. Now many they'll be even better
when when they're getting these new Navidio chips that Trump's
selling them. But I foresee an AI bill of rights
being a big talking point in this next election cycle.
And the more Trump cuts off these states, I think

(01:02:01):
the more the more this gets pushed to the forefront.
And you know, hey, if Trump is going to take
the AI and go, hey, the big business bid and
be the monopoly man when it comes to comes to
AI and data collection, I think that leaves a big
vacuum there, big opportunity for another candidate to come along
and say, no, I'm the consumer advocate. I care about

(01:02:22):
your data, your privacy when it comes to AI tools
and data collection. And I think that's gonna that's gonna
be something that plays out here here ahead.

Speaker 1 (01:02:31):
Yeah, I think I think you're right.

Speaker 3 (01:02:33):
And I think that there was another incident previously where
the very same argument was made, and that was the
Palanteer proposal. Right where you have the central clearinghouse of
everybody's information.

Speaker 1 (01:02:43):
That's that's a nightmare fuel to me. But you know,
his argument is.

Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
It's all floating around out there anyway with all this stuff,
so it would be centralized.

Speaker 1 (01:02:53):
I think he's gonna invoke national security on this AI
stuff if he gets pushbacks. But maybe I'm wrong, but
every yeah, go ahead.

Speaker 2 (01:03:01):
Well I was just gonna say that was just every
state that wants to push their own laws does their
own investigations, and the more they find, the more scary
it gets. And so by you know, by by putting
an executive order there, maybe you try to shut down
those state investigations for as long as possible to at
least lead that money that you know, the big A
guy companies are still making. I appreciate it, Paul, thank.

Speaker 1 (01:03:22):
You, all right, No, no, thank you? Uh yeah, it's again.
I'm well, what is this? I did see?

Speaker 3 (01:03:31):
Dan Crenshaw sent that letter to Sean Ryan for questioning
why he was able to get that DJ, really expensive
DJ to play his party and where the money came from. Yeah, yeah,
if if if Dan wants to assume me, he consume me.
I really don't care because it's not defamation. And I
watched which I watched the shot what Sean Ryan said.

(01:03:52):
He didn't even use Dan's name until Dan got a
stick in his button and then got mad about it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:56):
Then he used his name and he just asked questions.

Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
So there's that and I saw the Instagram message that
Dan Crenshaw sent to Sean Ryan. Sean Ryan is podcast
Guy's military guy. He's got an interesting story too, because
he went like full native for a while and had
to clean himself up and he's done.

Speaker 1 (01:04:15):
He's done well for himself.

Speaker 3 (01:04:17):
And Dan Crenshaw sent him an Instagram message said, hey,
I heard some from boys at Team six that you've
been saying some stuff. And you know, Crenshaw said, they
want to murder Tucker Carlson.

Speaker 1 (01:04:29):
It's on video.

Speaker 3 (01:04:31):
So Sean Ryan interpreted that might be a thread Team
six Seal Team six.

Speaker 1 (01:04:36):
Who you know, if if Seal Team six wants to
hurt you, they can. They've got a certain set of skills.
But I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:04:47):
That's as far as I got into it. But just
so people know what I was referencing there, it's kind
of a little aside thing. All right, coming up, we're
gonna chat with Pete Callender. We're gonna talk Nativity scenes.
There's so many churches now and including a Catholic church,
who are trying to get super political with their with
their Nativity scenes and it is just so over the
top this year. I'll give you some examples. Uh, there's

(01:05:09):
one down in Charlotte two to talk about. Happy Friday,
one hour to go and it is Friday. So you
know what we you know how we do what we
do and that means Pete Calener on middays w B
T joining us.

Speaker 1 (01:05:23):
How you doing, sir? What's up? Hello, mister Pete? Can
you hear me? Hello? Hello?

Speaker 2 (01:05:33):
Hello?

Speaker 10 (01:05:34):
Yea.

Speaker 4 (01:05:35):
All I'm hearing is your music playing and bond of
static on your line?

Speaker 1 (01:05:40):
Okay, well that's not good.

Speaker 4 (01:05:41):
I barely even hear you, Katie.

Speaker 1 (01:05:43):
Oh all right, hello, hello, can you hear me? Now?
Is that any better? Maybe you hear music? Why are
you here?

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
Now?

Speaker 4 (01:05:55):
I hear you? Okay, now I can hear you?

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
All right.

Speaker 4 (01:05:58):
I'm really sure what all that was. It was like
you know what, It transfers over from the when you're
on hold and you can hear the on air signal, right,
then you hear the then you get transferred over. It
was like the but it just wouldn't stop.

Speaker 3 (01:06:13):
Oh okay, oh well yeah, right, well yes I guess
it stopped.

Speaker 1 (01:06:17):
So we'll go ahead and do anything.

Speaker 4 (01:06:19):
Okay, trouble ticket for your engineer, yeah, scarr.

Speaker 3 (01:06:24):
Code, Yeah, don't even get me started, so I got
rope adoped. I'm not happy about it. I was following this,
I was following this story of this four I guess
former now brewery owner down in your.

Speaker 1 (01:06:39):
Direction, who is accused of going.

Speaker 3 (01:06:43):
To a thirteen year old girl's house, breaking into the house,
having second thirteen year old and is now in all
sorts of hot water. I saw his former partner put
a statement out saying he divested from the brewery.

Speaker 5 (01:06:56):
But then I saw his wife.

Speaker 3 (01:06:57):
It's his wife, yeah, yeah, yeah, And then I saw
bars saying they're not going to carry their stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:07:04):
So that might have just cooked the business. Probably did.

Speaker 4 (01:07:07):
But yes, Charlotte's biggest brewery.

Speaker 1 (01:07:10):
Oh I thought Noda was your biggest brewery down.

Speaker 4 (01:07:12):
No, Sycamore Brewing is the biggest brewery now in Charlotte.

Speaker 1 (01:07:16):
Okay, I've I've had their beers before. I don't.

Speaker 3 (01:07:19):
I don't know that I have one that's my favorite
or whatever. But yeah, I didn't realize it was that size.
But then I saw that he was given ten million
dollars bond, and I'm like, is Mecklenburg County figuring their
crap out where they're actually going to keep people in jail?

Speaker 1 (01:07:34):
And then I realized he did it. He drove over
to Albemarle, so it was right.

Speaker 4 (01:07:38):
He was in Stanley County, right, ropid dope.

Speaker 3 (01:07:42):
They're like, oh, you're actually going to keep people in
jail for stuff.

Speaker 4 (01:07:45):
Well, but you know what, here it's a good sign.
So maybe reason for some encouragement. Thanks to the new
state laws Arena's Law and the cracking down on the
juveniles with lengthy criminal histories and we can now charge
them as adults. We have a sixteen year old. He

(01:08:08):
has two hundred and seventy five charges on him at sixteen,
and he has now been arrested and charged as an
adult after sort of a one kid crime spree across
multiple states into South Carolina.

Speaker 1 (01:08:27):
Believe there is a different kid.

Speaker 4 (01:08:29):
I don't want to limit him to just car thievery,
but no, this is a different kid than the one
that had racked up the one hundred and fifteen auto thefts. Right,
this is a different kid. This is a sixteen year
old I think he was. The other kid was fifteen.
This kid when they searched his when they searched his home,

(01:08:50):
they found tons of firearms, including a Glock twenty seven
forty caliber with a drum magazine and.

Speaker 1 (01:08:59):
I have one of those. Don't have a drum magazine though.

Speaker 4 (01:09:01):
And an autoseer conversion device.

Speaker 1 (01:09:04):
Oh, I don't have that, and if I did, Yeah,
I tell you so.

Speaker 3 (01:09:07):
All right, robbery time for the fifteen year old to
catch up, is what you're saying.

Speaker 4 (01:09:12):
It's what it sounds like. But yeah, so this kid
who was topped back in October was released back to
his guardians good, and now with the new legislation having
taken effect, now he's being held.

Speaker 3 (01:09:28):
Okay, all right, I gotta tell you, like I said,
that's that's where I want to start. The story that
I really noticed this week down your way that made
my head want to explode is the city council's plan
down there to combat the uh the I'm to say, guys,

(01:09:50):
I know it. Prepare for the stupid, Prepare for the stupid.
All right, So clearly there there is an issue. There
are criminal issues within the public transit system in Charlotte.
It's not the only public transitist has got problems, but
it had the arena's rootska issue. You had the stabbing
of by an illegal immigrant I understand of a yeah

(01:10:12):
twice supported the black man who is actually just trying
to get up in there, so they couldn't make the
racial hay out of that one. But it sounds like
that guy was trying to get this guy to stop
and I got stabbed for his trouble. So and so
there's all of these things, and then they're like, all right,
the way we're going to fix the public's perception of

(01:10:32):
the one nothing to do with our mass transit is
to give a PR company in Texas three and a
half million dollars.

Speaker 4 (01:10:39):
Have you correct?

Speaker 1 (01:10:40):
How about going with less murder? Have you guys?

Speaker 4 (01:10:44):
That is I mean, that's really that's thinking outside the box.

Speaker 1 (01:10:48):
Casey yeah, So, I mean that's why I.

Speaker 4 (01:10:52):
Do enjoy our conversations is because you always bring these
new ideas to the table that nobody is considered to
throw that out there.

Speaker 1 (01:11:01):
So maybe maybe I'm wrong.

Speaker 3 (01:11:02):
Well, I mean this is again there's the part where
you didn't even hire a local PR firm, which some
people are mad about. You're gonna hire You're gonna p
R your way out of this? Is this is this
seriously their plan?

Speaker 4 (01:11:15):
Sure, Look they need they look, they need the PR,
do they not? People have a certain perception and you're
going to have to try to combat that perception, you know,
like and maybe with a catchy slogan something like, you know,
Charlotte Area Transit, it's not as dangerous as you may think,

(01:11:36):
something like.

Speaker 3 (01:11:37):
This, I was gonna go light rail light now with
less murder. So, yeah, we were weird abou stuff.

Speaker 1 (01:11:42):
Yeah we should get right money.

Speaker 4 (01:11:44):
Mm hmm. So and also the city uh uh, well,
the the interim CEO of cats uh, Brent Cagele. They
put out a pretty lengthy statement with the you know,
responses to all these questions that they were getting, and
they pointed out that, look, has these pr contracts. We've
been doing this for years and it was purely coincidental

(01:12:07):
that the contract came up because it came up as
part of the city council's consent agenda, right, which is
the part of the agenda that you don't actually do
a line by line vote on every item. They just
pack a bunch of crap into a consent agenda and
you approve it all at once. And that's where this
thing was. And they were like, look, we asked, we
started asking for bids back in July before Zerotska's murder,

(01:12:31):
and you know, this is just the you know, what
we've always done is we've always had these contracts and
the three point four million is actually over a four
year period. It's an eight hundred and fifty thousand dollars
annual renewable contract and they don't have to renew and see,
so this is just normal.

Speaker 1 (01:12:47):
Now.

Speaker 4 (01:12:47):
The last contract was only three hundred thousand, so they
went from three hundred thousand a year to an eight
hundred and fifty thousand dollars a year contract. The Texas
firm is some woke, you know, social justice firm, and
I don't know if that's going to matter at all,
but look, even if they started the process before the

(01:13:08):
stabbings on the.

Speaker 3 (01:13:10):
Train, that's an admission that there already was a problem.
So one my brain goes, right, oh, you already had
a problem. So that belies this argument that people are
taking the Zarutzka story and they're posting all the stuff
online and they're doing the damage, which I've seen one
of your council members make that argument like, oh, these

(01:13:31):
are people hyping it up. There's clearly a tragedy, but
they're hyping it up, and that's what it's you they
already knew, they had a problem, So thank you for.

Speaker 4 (01:13:38):
Correct Yes, yeah, absolutely, because the Zuzka murder was the
highest profile murder because of the barbarity of it. It
was on video, it was completely unprovoked, right, all of
these different elements of it that made it go international.
But uh, in you know, covering the transit system and

(01:13:58):
the violence on the system, there are scores of stories
about people being attacked and those are the ones that
we know of, those are the ones that end up
with you know, with news coverage, with police reports. There
are countless other interactions that occur that never get a
police report. You know, they just people just get off

(01:14:18):
the bus or they get off the train and they
just hurry away and they don't file a police report.
So this stuff is happening all over the place, and yes,
the transit folks know it. They want to try to
you know, entice more people to get on the trains.
And this was what they were doing in July before.
They were like, we're going to focus more on safety
and we're going to do a new safety plan and
all of this because at that point Zaruska had not

(01:14:42):
been murdered. Now after that, you know, you've already got
these these RFPs that are out and then she gets murdered. Now,
obviously the focus of the PR campaign is going to shift, right,
You're dealing with a different kind of a camp now
then you otherwise might have been where they may have

(01:15:03):
been like touting, oh look how great it is and
all of this. Now they're going to have to try
to assuage some of the fears regarding crime, where that
might not have been a central theme of a PR
campaign before.

Speaker 3 (01:15:17):
Well I just thought of another one, hop the strain
from Noda to uptown and only get stabbed after you
get off.

Speaker 4 (01:15:24):
Oh that's fair. Yeah, yeah, And look, part of the
problem is like this guy, so Oscar Solrizano from Honduras
twice deported, lengthy rap sheet, multiple arrests, surf time in Jersey, Florida,
and was in Charlotte as a homeless person at a
no barrier or low barrier homeless center and then he

(01:15:45):
was he was stopped actually by cat security in October.
So after Arena Zarutzka's murder, he was stopped by security.
They found him with a knife and they told him,
you know, they give him a citation, told him to
show up court. And I don't know if they took
the knife. Nobody knows what they took the knight or
whether that was in fact the knife he used in

(01:16:06):
the attack last Friday, the very next day, so that
was October eighth. October ninth, he is then caught again
and for public drunkenness and he's given another citation, another
ban for like thirty days or whatever it was. And
they said a data entry error into their system on

(01:16:31):
the on the first night prevented them from knowing on
night too, So they were doing some training on October eighth,
and that's why the guy's info didn't get put in correctly,
so they didn't know that he had been banned the
previous day.

Speaker 3 (01:16:48):
Okay, good so and then he didn't Yeah.

Speaker 4 (01:16:53):
And he did not show up to court for his
court appear It's in November.

Speaker 1 (01:16:58):
Yeahhow up to Cork kme on.

Speaker 4 (01:17:01):
Pete And I know this will shock you too. He
was banned. He wasn't even supposed to be on the
train or the platforms because he was banned from those incidents.
And this may shock you as well, that a twice
deported illegal alien might not respect the rules of where
he's allowed to be or not boundaries.

Speaker 1 (01:17:21):
Yeah, yeah, that's a good point. I also saw it.

Speaker 3 (01:17:22):
I don't know if it was your transit head there
who said that it's functionally almost impossible to try to
enforce a band.

Speaker 4 (01:17:29):
Correct. Correct. When they built it, they built an open system.
There's no controlled access, so there are no turnstiles. Right,
if you've never been on the Charlotte light rail, like
a lot of tourists, they think it's free. They show
up and it just looks like it's free. So there,
and people write about it in their reviews of Charlotte, like,
make sure you take the free train, you know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:51):
To get covid Did they have because Raleigh they made
all the buses free in covid D.

Speaker 4 (01:17:56):
I don't know. That would not surprise me if they did, though.

Speaker 5 (01:17:58):
Sure.

Speaker 4 (01:17:59):
Yeah. So you get on a platform which is at
street level. You just walk up and the train rolls up,
and there's a kiosk that you're supposed to pay for
a ticket on. You get on the train, but the
stops are like, you know, three minutes apart, so there's
there's very little time. If you want to avoid the fare,
don't pay, get on, and if you see somebody who's

(01:18:21):
coming down checking fares, which they actually don't do, so
you don't have to really worry about that. But if
that were to happen, you could just jump off at
the next stop. So yeah, it's and this is one
of the data points that I've been asking about, is
you know, how how many people do we think are
not paying the fare? We have no idea. There's no

(01:18:45):
way that they can even come up with that number.
They have no clue as to how much money they
are losing due to fair evasion.

Speaker 3 (01:18:52):
I wouldn't look too hard into it. Remember in New
York City when the TV station was trying to figure
out how many people are jumping the turnstiles, and all
the woke activists came down start screaming at him because
they're harassing poor people, they said, So I just watched.
All right, let me ask you this. What if we
got Benny Thompson to be the pr face of the
of this effort, this renewed effort, and so he can

(01:19:14):
say things like.

Speaker 6 (01:19:15):
This, uh mount of secretary of you and a gentleman
from c T n CTC reference the unfortunate accident that
occurred with the National guardsman, I.

Speaker 9 (01:19:30):
Kill you think that was an unfortunate accident?

Speaker 5 (01:19:33):
I mean is a terrible Wait wait look, I'll get
it straight.

Speaker 9 (01:19:36):
Then you can shot our National guardsman in the head.

Speaker 1 (01:19:39):
Look accidentally, Sam, whoop?

Speaker 6 (01:19:41):
See you direct witness to allow me to.

Speaker 5 (01:19:44):
Ask my question. Okay, I just an unfortunate situation.

Speaker 1 (01:19:49):
Yeah, gee, all right, So I clearly you probably saw
the exchanges with Christy. What was he going for?

Speaker 4 (01:19:59):
This is suicide empathy, this is it's all part of
this same psychosis, this idea that we have to show
all of this sympathy, this empathy. Oh, I understand why
somebody might do this and whatever. It's like, it's all
in this effort to kind of like soft pedal anti
social behavior and to try to figure out how we

(01:20:21):
failed this maniac you know. And no, like I'm done.
I'm done playing along with this game because I'm afraid
of being called, you know, a mean person. Okay, you
know what, fine, I'm a mean person. Call me a
mean person. I want the laws enforced, you know. I
want maniacs taking off the street. I want people who
are cluster b antisocial behavior. I want them. I want

(01:20:43):
them out of the public sphere. You know, I don't
want to have to share a train with a twice
deported criminal, illegal alien. That's stabbing people. I mean you
can call me me, call me me.

Speaker 3 (01:20:52):
Yeah, all right, well no, because I think most people
agree with that. But when you're Benny Thompson and you're
in a D plus forty district of Mississippi, you're.

Speaker 1 (01:21:03):
Not going anywhere.

Speaker 4 (01:21:04):
So true, that is true?

Speaker 1 (01:21:05):
Why would you police what you say? All right, we'll
go ahead and leave it there. Oh if Oh by
the way, check this out real quick.

Speaker 3 (01:21:13):
So they're having a protest in Boston on Tuesday where
they're gonna dump ice into the harbor. That won't it melt,
It doesn't matter. It's ceremonial. But I don't know they're
gonna don Native American guard because that would be appropriation.

Speaker 4 (01:21:26):
But that's true, but that then would not really be
channeling the the real Boston tea party, right. Also, do
you think they'll do bags like they're just gonna like
hit the like the QT buy a bunch of bagged
ice and dump bags of ice into.

Speaker 3 (01:21:40):
The It'll probably be those hipster round ones you get
at the nice bars. All right, Pete, I got a roll,
Thank you man, appreciate it, and we'll be right back.
Thank you very much. To our buddy Pete for hanging
out for a few minutes. There always eye opening. Well
I did not know about the kid with three hundred arrests.
The real numbers only sixteen.

Speaker 1 (01:22:02):
There you go.

Speaker 3 (01:22:02):
Okay, all right, so a few things you get to
to round out the show.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
Here, Let's see where did I put that? Yeah?

Speaker 3 (01:22:11):
Yeah, yeah, boy? Where do I even want to start?
Let me start? Let me start here, just because there's
a couple of stories I want to pair next to
each other. So once again, because it's Groundhog Day. Oh wait,
hold on, oh, I got a little, a little breaking news.
All right, I'll get to that. It's not it's just

(01:22:33):
it has to do with COVID vaccines. But I want
to read it before I tell you.

Speaker 4 (01:22:37):
So.

Speaker 1 (01:22:37):
Yesterday judge ordered.

Speaker 3 (01:22:40):
The Maryland man, that's right, you got to call him that,
Brago Garcia released from ice custody. And he has been released. Yeah,
released yesterday afternoon following a federal judges order. A Let's see,
Paula is innis. I believe she's an Obama pointee. I

(01:23:01):
saw that in another story. Demanded the immediate release or
ordered I should say, the immediate release in a court filing.
Regulas Garcia's wrongful deportation has been the basis of fraught
legal battle that's included tense confrontations. This is CNN's take
on it. So just understand doing the judge and the
Justice Department. It has also come to embody the Trump

(01:23:22):
administration's immigration crackdown and aggressive posture and trying to deport immigrants.
Now so here, let me let me break down what
the big argument is and kind of what the judges. Uh,
I think this is an erroneous ruling, But the argument
is if you want to charge them with the trafficking
going back to the Utah and you saw the traffic stop,
we play the audio all that, and you haven't charged

(01:23:45):
him yet, you're just trying to deport him. You need
to charge them with the trafficking. The irony is we
don't want to charge them with a lot of people
don't want to charge them with the trafficking. They just
want to get him the hell out of the country.
His likelihood he is. I don't know how much of
it they can prove other than that one and stop
it would be you know, you have to do a
big investigation there and eventually you're got to have to

(01:24:06):
feed and house this guy for whatever sentence he gets,
if he even gets one, they just want to deport him.

Speaker 1 (01:24:12):
But you don't have to catch a case to get deported.
That's the thing. This is why, This is why.

Speaker 3 (01:24:21):
And there was one of the two judges immigration judge.
I guess didn't file a piece of paperwork or he
didn't sign something, was the argument. So a little bit
of a loophole, but it doesn't matter. He does not
he does not have permanent status and and he is,
you know, he's part of the teap This temporary protective.

Speaker 1 (01:24:39):
Thing is is why.

Speaker 3 (01:24:41):
Because he was scared because El Salvador is dangerous. It's
not I mean, it's not how it was. So I
don't know he falls under this. So now the Trump administration,
they'll go they'll find some other thing. They'll probably arrest
him again and everyone will freak out, and then they'll
go judge and we'll see how it goes. The according

(01:25:06):
to the judge, there is no legal order of removal
that currently exists. This is based on a missing signature,
I guess. But there's a there's a problem because remember there.

Speaker 1 (01:25:17):
Were two orders. There's two orders.

Speaker 3 (01:25:19):
It's the second one that they didn't the judge didn't
sign it, or something wasn't.

Speaker 1 (01:25:22):
Filed, right, And.

Speaker 3 (01:25:25):
Because it's the second, more recent one and somehow usurps
the first is I guess the argument the judge bought yesterday,
which doesn't make any sense to me. But I'm not
a lawyer, so I don't know. Uh, they'll be keeping
an eye on them, I'm sure. Let me get the
here's the Homeland Security spokesperson, Tricia McLaughlin blast of the orders,

(01:25:47):
suggesting the government will appeal it. It's a naked judicial
active It's naked judicial activism by an Obama point of judge.
To McLaughlin, the order lacks any valid legal basis, and
we'll continue to fight this tooth and nail.

Speaker 1 (01:25:59):
Yeah, yeah, I read it.

Speaker 3 (01:26:01):
I read like two different versions, trying to figure out
what's going on, and like it all sounds really sketchy
or stretchy. I guess it would be a better word
a stretching of legal maneuvering. But that's what these judicial
activists have been doing, so I was not surprised. I
remember they were going to deport him to Africa, that's

(01:26:24):
where he was going. They offered him, they would they
offered to deport him.

Speaker 1 (01:26:28):
I believe to.

Speaker 3 (01:26:30):
Like three different countries in Latin America which clearly might
be profitable based on the fact that he speaks Spanish,
so and and it wasn't just horrible countries. I think
the Dominican Republic was one, Costa Rica was one the
hell of a lot better than Nel Salvador was, and
I don't remember the third, but like then they started

(01:26:52):
talking about Africa because his lawyer rejected all of those.
And again I don't think this guy's lawyer is working
in his best interest because the people who are handling
his legal stuff they're activist lawyers. They're lawyers for the
bigger picture and not just this guy. So they if
they will use them to hamstring Trump, make things difficult,
maybe try to get a precedencent although they've lost every

(01:27:14):
time on these issues, so that they can further their
their lawyering activism. But if he all of a sudden
becomes a problem or not good anymore, or they feel
if they'll, they'll just cast him aside. And I don't
know if he knows that or if he cares, but
that is clearly what's going on here. When you see
all these friend of the court things that keep attaching

(01:27:36):
here from all these activist groups.

Speaker 1 (01:27:38):
All right, so update on that. Let me get over
to this. What's going on over and Carry, peeps, what's
going on over there. I'm not even gonna make the
murder cap although I had.

Speaker 3 (01:27:53):
I did have people come up to me we're doing
the toys for tots thing.

Speaker 1 (01:27:57):
Like, why do you call Carry the murder capital of
North Carolina. It's a joke. It's a joke based.

Speaker 3 (01:28:02):
On how not murdery Carrie is, right, and then one
year they had no murders one year, and then to
the next year, and so I'm like, your murder rate
went up tw hundred percent. And then free math people,
you're like, well, the technically that wouldn't be too I understand,
but you got to go with the joke just because
there was two and then it was zero. But yes,
I understand the actual mathematical equation. That's why it's a joke.

Speaker 2 (01:28:27):
Carrie.

Speaker 1 (01:28:28):
Carrie is blindingly safe. Case in point.

Speaker 3 (01:28:30):
I was downtown Carrie last week and they have you know,
they really do it up with lights in fact, up
by the art center of the theater or whatever that
is kind of up at the end of Academy there
they have like this giant bear with skis. It's like
it's real. They do a really good job. But on
the sidewalk as you walk down Academy towards city Center

(01:28:52):
there they had all these individual Christmas trees and I
think they're gift trees, right, they got the envelopes on there.
You take one, you go ahead and help and it's
good to see that a bunch of the trees were
basically stripped bare.

Speaker 1 (01:29:02):
A lot of people stepping up, but like they leave
those things out all night. I'm like, how do they
not get still? I actually asked to carry office where
he's like, oh, yeah, they're not going to take them.

Speaker 3 (01:29:14):
I really nobody steals those trees because you just you
didn't have to get out of your truck. You just
drive by, grab one and go. I'm not encouraging you
to do it, but Carrie is incredibly safe. That being said,
why are you paying for a master's degrees for your
city council members? I do I have not seen a
good answer as to how how this how this works? Now,

(01:29:36):
there are certain circumstances where city workers or even elected
officials can get training paid for by a city generally
it has uh, but it's not a full master's degree, right,
It's it's maybe a certification that's necessary if you're a
worker and carrie for something, or or any city for

(01:29:57):
that matter. And a lot of times city council members
or people who were elected who had not been elected
before maybe may get some training just so they know
how to politic I guess I've seen that before, but
never a full master's degree. Apparently she is the mayor
pro tem there by the way, who received this, Lorie Bush.

(01:30:19):
I believe they said they've paid it back. It was
thirty seven thousand dollars that the town of Kerry paid
for the tuition payments. And I have read now multiple
stories on this. I do not see any reasonable explanation,
like just explain to people.

Speaker 1 (01:30:35):
How that happened, which they have not.

Speaker 3 (01:30:38):
And I know there's some issues with town manager and
all that stuff over there, but yeah, I just wanted
to give this a mention because the whole thing I
just wanted to get a town manager, if you didn't know,
was placed on paid administer straight of leave just before Thanksgiving.
And there's not really an explanation for that. So is
it tied to this is it not tied to that?
Is it something else?

Speaker 5 (01:30:58):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:30:59):
Yeah, it's just now what you expect out of carry there,
but just a two fur that I thought should make
the show. All right, mister ray Stagic from the Weather Channel.
He is back one more time. On was wonderfully freezing week.
Although we didn't have one nice day, so yeah we did. Yeah,
all right, we'll have another one. We'll take our medicine.

Speaker 1 (01:31:17):
What do you got?

Speaker 10 (01:31:18):
Yeah, we'll have another one, another nice day. Probably tomorrow
will be the better one. Cloud sunshine today, seen a
few flurries, a lot of that's west of the triad,
but may try to sneak into the triad. Be shocked
if we get a sprinkler flurry into the triangle. But
we could load of mid forties today and then tonight
hovering on either side of thirty. Tomorrow, I think we're
gonna get into the fifties, more seasonable temperatures. And you

(01:31:40):
didn't do the outdoor decorating yet, or get the Christmas
tree if you do that, or didn't clean the yard
like me yet. Tomorrow's a day to do it. Sunshine
and load of bit fifties and then the front of
come through a rareer wet snow on Sunday, but no
accumulating snow expected. It's more about the cold coming in
on Sunday, load of mid forties with gusty winds. By
Monday morning, we're in the load of mid teens, and
that is without the wind chill. With the wind chill,

(01:32:02):
it's going to feel colder, So prep for some real
cold weather. Monday high's only in the thirties. It'll start
recovering quickly. By Tuesday, we're twenty at night or near it,
closer to fifty in the afternoon, and by the end
of the week we're probably into the sixties. So Casey,
I think this is going to be the last cold
dump here for quite a few days, at least before Christmas.
That's the way it looks right now. Much milder as

(01:32:23):
we get into next week. It probably even the beginning
of Christmas week.

Speaker 3 (01:32:27):
Yeah, okay, all right, well we'll do our thing.

Speaker 1 (01:32:30):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:32:30):
I appreciate it, and he remember from Christmas trees. So
last week I was I was on one of those
ramps where you know the big circle. He makes you
gotta slian down to like thirty twenty five thirty, and
I was getting on I forty doing that, and I
look over and there is this big, beautiful Christmas tree.

Speaker 1 (01:32:46):
It's still got the ropes attached. Some poor Bashroom fell
off the top of his car. I'm sure.

Speaker 3 (01:32:51):
Can you imagine coming home you feel all like, oh,
I got the tree. Kids, and they're like, what the
hell's the tree?

Speaker 5 (01:32:58):
If you don't notice that?

Speaker 10 (01:32:59):
You know, I've done an artificial tree for like the
thirty years I've been on my own, and I'm like,
one of these years, I just want to do it
for the nostalgia, and I always think about it.

Speaker 5 (01:33:08):
I'm like an damn good.

Speaker 1 (01:33:09):
Nah well, Clark Griswold, I like, into the world.

Speaker 5 (01:33:12):
No, that's what will happen to me.

Speaker 1 (01:33:13):
All right, Well, I appreciate it. Hav a good weekend.

Speaker 5 (01:33:15):
Okay, okay, all right too.

Speaker 3 (01:33:16):
There you go, Race Stagic from the Weather Channel. We'll
be right back with Bloomberg next. Hang on, it is
creeping up on eight fifty three. Bloomberg Update now with
Erica Herskowitz.

Speaker 1 (01:33:26):
What's going on? Erica?

Speaker 9 (01:33:27):
Hey, Casey Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:33:28):
Open Ai users will soon be able to use Disney
characters on Sora. The two companies announced a three year
licensing deal that'll allow users to generate short form videos
on the AI platform using more than two hundred Disney, Marvel, Pixar,
and Star Wars characters. Selection of the user generated videos
will be made available to.

Speaker 9 (01:33:46):
Watch on Disney Plus, and the deal will also allow.

Speaker 11 (01:33:48):
Chat ept to create user prompted image images using Disney properties.
As part of the deal, Disney's making a billion dollar
equity investment into Open Ai Ubers, as it expects to
offer robot taxi services in more than ten markets by
the end of next year. The company hopes to position
itself as the dominant force in an industry it estimates

(01:34:08):
will eventually be worth at least to trillion dollars. Uber
has made hundreds of millions of dollars worth of investments
in autonomous vehicle developers, with the company's CEO saying Uber
has quote plenty of capital to invest in growth areas.
Broadcom shares fail about five percent in pre market trading
after its sales outlooked for the AI market failed to
meet investors' expectations. CEO Hoc Ten says the company has

(01:34:29):
a backlog of seventy three billion dollars in AI product orders.
Investors are still looking for more clarity on when and
how Broadcom will get a payoff from AI, as the
company held off on giving an annual AI revenue forecast. Overall,
Broadcom shares are up seventy five percent this year as
of yesterday's market. Clothes Lululemon shares gained eleven percent after
yesterday's closing bells. The company boosted its full year earnings

(01:34:51):
per share guidance, reporting that early holiday performance was encouraging.
Cheaper knockoffs and quality missteps have plagued Lululemon, leading to
a sales slow down and shares falling fifty percent this year. Separately,
the company said the CEO, Calvin McDonald, was stepping down
at the end of January, and finally Casey. The Food
and Drug Administration is reportedly preparing to put a black

(01:35:11):
box warning on COVID nineteen vaccines. That's according to CNN.
A black box warning is the strongest caution for prescription
drugs that is usually reserved for alerting patients to possible
adverse reactions that could lead to death or serious injury.
Bloomberg reported earlier this week that the FDA was currently
investigating whether COVID nineteen vaccines cause deaths and adults.

Speaker 3 (01:35:32):
What kind of guardrails this isn't going to put in?
How you to jump back to this because like users
get to make their own videos.

Speaker 11 (01:35:40):
Yeah, that's a little scary because you users can be
a little sick and sick and twisted, and so I
don't I don't you know, I don't need to see
that and do it anything wild.

Speaker 3 (01:35:48):
Nah, but there's so weirdo wants to see Princess Leiah
and Black Widow hook up.

Speaker 11 (01:35:52):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, that's yeah, that's coming.

Speaker 9 (01:35:55):
Prepare yourself.

Speaker 1 (01:35:56):
Oh the brave New World. All right, thank you, Eric,
I appreciate what.

Speaker 3 (01:36:01):
Yeah, like you think those with all the stuff we
talk about, you think there's not some weirdo rubbing his hands.

Speaker 5 (01:36:08):
Girl, it's just gonna be great.

Speaker 3 (01:36:09):
I always wanted to see this, but now with all
the AI stide, you know, it is what it is now.

Speaker 1 (01:36:16):
I'm sure Disney will have that on lockdown for certain stuff.
This is Disney man, and.

Speaker 3 (01:36:23):
They have to realize how out of control they could
really get. And then I don't know, maybe somebody will
figure out a work around and then we'll be right
back there. Who knows, But I want to end the
week on one of our favorite things to do, and
that's this. And we're gonna double up because not only
is he a Florida man, he's also a social media
content producer. He runs a he runs a channel. Is

(01:36:44):
it on YouTube? I don't even know he could run
this on YouTube?

Speaker 1 (01:36:48):
Okay?

Speaker 3 (01:36:48):
So he runs a cleaned up version on YouTube and
then on a couple other sites. Can get away with
some more stuff. All right, So here's this whole thing.
He records videos of himself eating raw animal meat. Now, why, okay,
what's wrong with that, casey? Because you got to understand
that he if he was just sitting in his house
eating steak tartar, nobody'd give a crap. No, what he

(01:37:09):
does is he brings the animal to out in the
public and then sets up cameras to get, you know,
film people's reaction, which is usually horrific.

Speaker 1 (01:37:18):
So what does he do. He went to Palm Beach,
like literally.

Speaker 3 (01:37:21):
Like a block from mar A Lago, brought a whole pig.
Now he does it that he killed the animal before
he got there, and I don't know if he did
it or wherever.

Speaker 1 (01:37:29):
He bought the whole the whole hog. But then he
starts cutting it open and just literally eating it. And
there's blood going everywhere because they didn't drain this pig.
And that's why he got in trouble because that was
blood all over the sidewalk.

Speaker 3 (01:37:44):
And so he wasn't actually charged for eating the meat,
which you know, I don't know if they can charge
you for eating meat. They did it because he basically
they had to bring pressure washers in to clean up
the sidewalk. And there's like a little park pavilion thing
too he was next to, and some some stonework there.
It's kind of along the beach walk there. Uh yes,

(01:38:05):
what do they

Speaker 1 (01:38:05):
Charged him with creating a potential biohazard
