Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
It is six oh six here on the KCO Day
radio program, just voice wise, not intellectually, because it's Friday.
You don't want to get too crazy. Although it is
our final chit chat of the year with mister Pete Calender,
so we're gonna have to make the best of that.

(00:21):
That'll be coming up at eight o five. So even
though it is Friday, excuse me, let me just get
a sip of water, like three glasses this morn. No,
I did not start the partying early for vacation. I
should have, although I did stay up and watch that

(00:41):
whole NFL game. Well, we're gonna have to get into that.
What a crazy, crazy end of regulation that was. But
that in a moment. First, like I said, just because
it's Friday, we still got lots of news to get to,
including I guess this is I guess the Brown University

(01:05):
thing's done right. The the the suspect, which weirdly in
the middle of yesterday was connected also to a shooting
at or a shooting of I should say, an M I. T. Professor.

(01:25):
Same guy. Now he he killed himself, and like none
of the stories even closed the loop on how all
these people are connected. I mean there's a vague reference
to the former he was a former student at Brown,

(01:45):
and apparently he went to school with them. I t
guy back in Portugal or something. I don't know. There
there's a lot of See, here's the problem. There's a
lot of perfectly reasonable elements to this story, if you
just divorce yourself, if possible, from the absolute clown show

(02:08):
dumpster fire that has been every aspect of this, like
because people are, oh, well, it killed himself. Well, look,
people who are the subject of a big national thing,
who may not want to face justice, sometimes kill themselves.

(02:31):
I mean, Hitler killed himself. Okay, I'm not comparing the two,
but you understand what I'm saying, Like that, this is
not it's it's not unheard of. The problem is he
had Epstein killed himself. You have the bumbling investigation of
this Brown story, so nobody, like nobody really trusts you.

(02:51):
This is this is the problem. This is the problem.
You guys so squandered your credibility with whatever. The first
few days were oh well no, not over there, we
don't we don't believe in cameras over there, not knowing
where when you were releasing footage. It was even from

(03:12):
the president of the school didn't know anything. Six hours later,
literally she said, I know nothing. Uh you know, Sergeant Schultz.
I mean it was bad. So then when you when
you when you tell people this story, and I'll lay
it out here in the next segment, because it's not

(03:34):
wrapped up and there's not like everything's not connected. A
lot of people aren't going they're not going to believe you.
They're not they're not going to believe this based on
you know, the Internet, your own behavior, and you know,

(03:55):
of course getting locked into a theory early on with
another suspect. I I this, this one's gonna get real
conspiracy theory up online. Mark my words, it's it'll be
a fun rabbit hole even for you know, the fact
that it's at the end of the day, it's a
tragic story. It's too Uh. These two students just doing

(04:17):
their thing up there, join their their collegiate experience, and
then some some cheese former student from Portugal just comes
in and shoots them. Yeah, there's there's there's a lot
that we got to get into with this. So we will, uh,

(04:39):
we will dive a bit deeper, although I shouldn't. I
mean deep is probably relative because again, there's a bunch
of stuff that's just not answered in this yet that
I I feel like officials better do a good job
of explaining, or people are just this is going to
turn into another and then you know, insert whatever big
conspiracy you want here. Over the last few years, also

(05:04):
very sad news former NASCAR driver Greg Biffle and his
family killed in a plane crash. Where is this Irodoa County. Yeah,
you know, Biffle was during the during what was going

(05:25):
on in western North Carolina. Like he he has his
own helicopter and he was he was using that to
bring aid in and uh there was he was like
he was involved with damn near every fundraiser that was
going on there, the big stuff. The concert down at
Charlotte just just really really was all aboard giving back

(05:52):
during that time, and I think it earned a lot
of a lot of people maybe didn't know Greg Biffle
or know much about him. Definitely they knew about him
after that. So just so sad. But a statement confirms
the death of Biffle, his wife Christina, son writer, and
daughter Emma, along with a let's see here, Dennis and

(06:15):
Jack Dutton and Greg Wadsworth. So there were seven people
killed in this crash. Let's see here. Okay, so as
to why they were traveling. Okay, so NASCAR did issue
a statement. I wanted to go ahead and read this.
NASCAR devastated by the tragic loss of Greg Biffle and

(06:37):
his wife, daughter, son, as well as others on the plane.
Greg was more than a champion driver. He was a
b loove member of the community, NASCAR community, fierce competitor,
and a friend of so many. His passion for racing, integrity,
commitment to fans and fellow competitors made a lasting impact
on the sport. On the track, Greg's talent, it's nasty, dear,

(07:00):
and him championships. Sorry, I am skimming some of this.
Here we go. Most notably, Greg spent countless hours his
time helping the citizens of North Carolina during disasters that
followed Hurricane Helene. His tireless work save lives. Our thoughts
and deepest condolences to Greg's entire family. Okay, So let's

(07:25):
see other statements from everybody. I never met. I never
I've met quite a few of the drivers, just you know,
doing this over the years and you get opportunities. But
I never met Greg Biffle. So't I can't speak to
it personally, but judging by the outpouring there, there's a
he touched a lot of people's lives in two different

(07:47):
realms too, right, the Nascar part, but also his humanitarian stuff.
So very sad to see that. All right, it is
six fourteen. We'll take a break, be right back, hang
on here on the cac O Day Radio program. In
addition to the passing of Greg Biffle, very sadly, he

(08:09):
and his wife and son and daughter were part of
a crash in Iredale County that killed seven people, obviously
including Biffle. Right at the same time, we learned of
the passing of former governor Jim Hunt. So it is
a busy day for eulogies. I guess here in North Carolina.

(08:34):
It's interesting, I you know. So here's the deal. I've
never met Jim Hunt, never interviewed him, did not work
here when he was governor. I know clearly of him.
I know that his daughter his lieutenant governor. Clearly. It's

(08:55):
very It's interesting, you know, anytime we reflect back and
we look at the chain attitudes of people who are you,
governor president, you see this more. But I remember when
George Bush was literally Satan. Now everybody loves him, right,
So I see people when they were talking about in
the comments with the under the the announcement that Jim

(09:18):
Hunt had passed away, They're like, you know, that's the
that's the kind of Democrat that doesn't exist anymore and
probably would be a Republican today. I I don't know,
is that is that really true though? When when we
say things like that, because clearly if you just drop
somebody in, they're going to be holding to the party

(09:41):
politics of the day in most instances. So just because
just because somebody is is an old time version of
whatever political party you're doing this with, like where they
fall in line, I don't know, just just one of
the weird little thought. I was even gonna bring it up,
but I'm just like, well, yeah, but if you dropped

(10:03):
him into day and he wanted to be in power,
he'd have to play the same games where you're running
around and going sure, yeah, absolutely, oh yeah, no, you
want to uh, you want to chop your five year
old up? Now, I'm cool with that. So but I
don't know, I don't know. I remember I won the
one former governor I did meet u a former governor Holshauser.

(10:26):
That was a very interesting conversation. I basically got sat
at a table next to him right like when we
launched the station, maybe like the first year, and uh,
just like talking about how politics used to get done
in North Carolina. That was very interesting. So let's see here.
I'm assuming all the ral piece is fawning throughout. Yeah, yeah, shocked,

(10:52):
not shocked, but could have been shocked, chose not to be.
All right, let me get back to this, by the way,
phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. It's gonna be a crazy day in North
Carolina today. You know, Trump's Trump's at Rocky Mountains, coming

(11:12):
to Rocky mount you know, it's you know, this will
be another one of those. Hey, here's the charts, a
little of what you saw the other night. But this
is I guess the affordability to her whatever they want
to call it. What time does he speak? I am sure,
by the way, I am positive that there will be

(11:34):
a contingent of angry Democrats on you know, on Rascal scooters,
sitting down there with the walker with the tennis balls,
screaming as the motorcade goes by. So you know, look
for I'm sure that to make its way into coverage

(11:55):
of this thing. All right, So they're just breaking down
numbers here do I should have should have texted the
congressman's guy and seeing who's all gonna be there? Oh good?
All right, So here's where they're trying to get tricky.
Trump's visit isn't a campaign rally, but rather an official

(12:16):
White House stop. Okay, By the way, you got to
understand how po the media is from Trump's speech the
other night, like they're they're super upset. I don't. This
isn't getting as much coverage as as it should. So
when the White House wants to do a prime time address,

(12:37):
the networks don't have to do it. And so there's
there's kind of this thing where if if you're gonna ask,
the network's going to try to evaluate if they think
you're gonna have something juicy and can say no, and
and you don't hear about those necessarily if the network's like, now,
we don't think so we got a big show on,

(12:57):
you haven't sold us on it.

Speaker 2 (12:59):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (12:59):
There'd been announcements that were supposed to happen, but they
couldn't get buy in from all the networks, so they
had to change how they did it, and you just
don't really hear about that. So the networks all took this,
and ironically they took it because they thought Trump was
going to announce that he's going to war with Venezuela
or something, and you had you had people like Tucker

(13:24):
Carlson was out doing interviews. I can't remember who he
was talking to, but he's selling that. Other people are
selling that. I don't know if the White House was
trying to sell that behind the scenes to rope the
networks in, but they were so mad because they didn't
feel that anything other than I guess positive news was there.

(13:45):
They thought that he basically conned him out of network
prime time real estate, and so they're not going to
be so agreeable in the future. There's I mean, I've
seen a couple of panels talking about it where they
had editorial meetings after to re evaluate when they're going

(14:07):
to give Trump airtime for national you know, primetime announcements,
how much he's going to have to disclose and just
wait at some point Trump will because Trump will talk
about it. How they want to do with this thing?
The networks would they're biased. They need their licenses pull.
Oh yeah, yeah. So it's it's almost it's almost like

(14:29):
you're packing up a little little hand grenade for later,
right there. You need something to fight about. Let's go
fight about this. So I guess in that sense it's uh,
perhaps useful or at the very least somewhat entertaining. All right,
Officials say, the man who was suspected of killing two

(14:49):
and wounding others at Brown University, as well as this
MI I T professor which I'll throw in the details
there in a moment, has been found dead in a
New Hampshire storage facility. Forty eight year old Claudio Valente,
a former Brown student Portuguese national. All right, I was

(15:11):
found dead. There we go. So this is where this
whole thing gets weird, because what they're saying is he
is a suspect in the attack on the MIT which
is in Boston. Oh, remind me never to have you
do my eulogy. What does that mean?

Speaker 3 (15:30):
Oh?

Speaker 1 (15:32):
Just well I had to do. Look, we have two
we have two stories today, the passing of a former
North Carolina governor and the passing of a former NASCAR
driver and his family in a plane crash in Irondale
County in the form of a Greg Biffel. I'm just
I'm I'm not the person you want delivering bad news

(15:55):
with an emotional twist. That's not me. Like yesterday I
told somebody about the Biffel thing and showed it, like,
held up my phone and showed it to him. I
don't think they're listening, all right, So the response was this,
This was this is somebody who's just in the retirement age.

(16:21):
Just to give you a lay of the land. Here
who said And I'm going to try to exactly quote
this if you're listening whatever, Why is it all these
athletes die in these plane crashes? Alison Kobe, I rattled

(16:42):
off a couple others. You know, isn't it weird when
you see these plane crashes it's usually somebody you know?
And I'm like, yeah, I don't know, man, I'm sorry.
And what I wanted to say is, who do you
think is fly fly in private? Again? I I understand this,
but also it's like who who I'm not commuting on

(17:05):
a private you know, uh G G six or whatever.
I don't have one. Probably you don't either, and if
you do, you should get to know each other. But yeah,
now that's why, that's why when you see uh uh
you know, private jet crash, there's a possibility you know

(17:28):
the person because you know, that's who generally has access
to them. So anyway, yeah, uh, I'm just like, I'm
just like, yeah, yep, sucks. And I was the end
of that conversation. But again, this is if my brain
starts wandering, all sensitivity lost. I will tell you this though,

(17:51):
Bot where you have to abandon Boston man, not even
not even over the connection to the brown thing with
Oh wait, Boston, Paul wants me to know that might
Teas and Cambridge. Excuse me, excuse me? Is that by
the way, So this is this is Boston's week. Earlier
this week, somebody got cholera. The woman got cholera because

(18:18):
Boston's operating like the old Oregon Trail game. And I'm
sure somebody's dying of dysenteria as we speak. And now
at Boston three of Boston's war memorials, vandals have torn
all the American flags down and vandalized the actual monuments.

(18:38):
Let's see where this happened. Stars and Stripes at Medal
of Honor Park Korean War Memorial in South Boston. How
has it survived to this point? One other some statue. Yeah,
so all three memorials are within a mile and a
half radius of each other, from Castle Island to East Brodle.

(19:02):
None of that. I don't know what that means. Is
that that's just where the accent gets. Okay, so as
you go south there the accent gets more abrupt. Okay.
But yeah, so like it all happened overnight, so somebody
had to make somebody had to go all right, you
know what, we're sick of all this American pride. Uh,

(19:23):
and we're just gonna go Like, dude, I'm telling you,
And I know I'm crapping on Boston on the regular
because they give people cholera. But I don't think you
want a bunch of drunk mixed catching you. And I
can say that as an oday, right. You know what?
You know what, Whitey Bulger's you know, leftover, still sitting

(19:45):
around there catching you doing that? Man? Or maybe you do,
and if you do, film, please put it up there.

Speaker 2 (19:52):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
The reason they had somebody flags too, by the way,
is because they had just had a gold Star Family
Military family event and it commemorated the Boston tea party, which,
of course we know protesters went down to commemorate by
dumping ice into the water, showing their stunning bravery. So yeah,

(20:15):
that's people saw those flags. They saw those flags and
did not sit well with some folks kind of like that.
Where's that? Wait? Hold on, I gotta have that audio
of that one. Dude. Oh sorry, just popped into my head.
Do you remember the audio of the guy I think
it had to be back fourth of July who was

(20:36):
freaking out because he went to and I think it
was like the Redneck Riviera, right and uh yeah, is
this it? I think this is it right here?

Speaker 3 (20:44):
Right?

Speaker 1 (20:44):
We have to figure out No, at the never mind,
that's some other lunatic who hates the flag. Well anyway,
but he was down in Panama City, That's what it was.
He was on the beach in Panama City on fourth
of July and was filming a TikTok ranton about oh
I hate steeing the flag. Dude, you're in Panhandle, Florida

(21:07):
on the fourth of July. What are you doing with
your life? If that's your great fear, I'll see if
I can find that audio during the break. I just
can't remember what we labeled it. And there's way too
many hates flags.

Speaker 2 (21:25):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (21:25):
Oh wait, hold on Boston, Paul wrote. He says, you
don't want a bunch of old time Boston cops catching
you earlier, Yeah, or catching you either Yeah, probably probably, man,
But I kind of do. And again, I want it film,
but I don't want anyone to get in trouble. Well,

(21:45):
I mean, clearly, whoever's doing it is in trouble because
of the nature of the movie that I'm asking for,
But none of the other actors. How's that? Okay? Good?
Uh oh, look listen to this. By the way, President
Trump has given federal workers two new holidays this year.
All right, so this is there's some context here. He

(22:07):
clearly went above and beyond, and there's some interesting reactions
to this. But the president, so presidents what they can
do kind of like your boss, where they're like, oh,
everybody's down in the dumps. Whatever. Let's tell him. Let's
tell him the Christmas Eve is early release and then
everyone gets your work done by noon. No, you don't

(22:30):
have any less work. You got to get it all
done though, So anyway, you could do that, and that's
what presidents have done, and they it's kind of it's
kind of like the Turkey pardon, where it's kind of
an annual thing. So past presidents have even have either
given Christmas Eve is a half day or a full
day off and then they just do a little executive

(22:52):
order and it's kind of like your critical Christmas bonus,
and that's that's how it goes. So Trump did something
different though, and I don't know that it's been done before.
He not only gave Christmas Eve as a holiday, but
the twenty six as well, so that you know, carves out,

(23:15):
carves out a nice little week there. So Wednesday, Thursday,
Friday are all federal holidays. Next week Christmas Eve, Christmas
in the day after for federal workers. Now there is
there's something that popped in my head, and I saw

(23:35):
other people approach it as well. Federal workers had a
forty three day depending on what they did, day off,
and I understand that it was stressful at the time.
But the back you everyone's got paid for that because
that's what they do when they reopen stuff and then
they go all right, everyone gets your back pay. Even

(23:55):
though he didn't work, some of you worked clearly. And
again this is not me just trying to attack all
federal workers. But you just you guys just had like
a month and a half off and if you didn't
have to work, you then got retroactively paid for it.
So I understand why some people are a little cheesed.

(24:18):
I mean, I don't know that it impacts my life,
but I from a world of fairness. Some people are
gonna have questions anyway. Six forty four. Hang on, Well,
technically the day after Christmas is a holiday. It's Boxing Day.

(24:38):
Thank you for your contribution there, Paul, appreciate that. No
it's not. And I think it's shameful that you would
celebrate holiday the holiday of our former oppressors, because that's
a British thing, and then Canada and you just, you know,
all the former British. Not us though, because you know,

(25:01):
we did the thing that they didn't do and we
got rid of that crap. So no, there's no Boxing Day.
It is an inaccurate correction there, all right, we gotta
they actually accomplished something over at Blue Sky. Okay, I

(25:21):
got some canceled oh man, So a greeting card company
has agreed to destroy all copies of one of their
holiday cards, which actually they're having to go like they
pulled them out of stores. All right. So the greeting

(25:42):
card company is what is the name of this company,
Emotional Rescue. And this is important because it's a UK
based greeting card company. I guess they're pretty popular. This
s in the US and you know, in the UK
and everywhere, and but they are a very woke organization, right,

(26:04):
They're all about inclusivity. Each of the artists is super inclusive.
Then the proceeds of a lot of it go to
various inclusive charitable things, right, so you know there's that
which may cause you to want to buy or not.
But it's not conservatives attacking this. No, no, no. So

(26:28):
the card in question has a little comical grinch with
a Christmas sweater on and it reads this is very shocking.
Apparently it reads this Christmas, I'm identifying as a Grinch.
That's it. But that was enough to draw the ire

(26:49):
of trans journalists. For Pink News, Sophie Molly. Molly said
she feels the card belittles the identity of trans and
non binary people. Trans people don't choose to identify as
their gender, it's part of who they are. It Sis
people saying they identify as something like a tornado attack,

(27:10):
helicopter or a grinch means I feel invalidated with my
lived experience. So it's it's just all the the gobblegoot there,
it's a grit, It's it's a it's a Christmas card.
I know you don't like it's a holiday card. Would
that there? Do you feel better? You're less triggered. It's
a Christmas card. It's a grinch joke, good Lord and

(27:35):
I And then on the greeting card company, I don't
know what your margins are, although I've seen the price
on those things. I couldn't tell you last time I
bought one, but people still buy them. Okay, So I
mean that to remove I guess what was a card
that was one of your I guess it was a
popular card too. Is what they were saying. Is not

(27:58):
an attack on your personhood? Okay? And also is not
a cheap fix on the part of this company. Who
is They're already like they're woke because they immediately capitulated
to the stupidity too, like, oh no, you're absolutely right,
that is evil. So now we'll have to get rid
of that. Yeah, this Christmas I'm identifying as a grinch

(28:22):
is now canceled? Do they still have though those were
a disaster? Though they seem to remember a lot of
them were canceled. Well there taker bel excuse me? Do
they still have those where you can design your own
greeting card? I even as a kid, I knew that
was a bad idea because they had them when at
like Walmart or something, and then just board kids would

(28:43):
just make poop joke cards and then you never pay
for them because they print them off, and so I'm
sure they were just burning through ink. I don't know
who those kids were. I don't know, you know, I
don't know who the kids in this story, who would
ever do that? But but I heard that kids would

(29:04):
in fact do that, so and I may have even
witnessed it, So we don't need to get into how so.
Today is the deadline for the release of the Epstein files,
so I would expect a nice little mix of photos
where people's faces have been blurred out, with the exception

(29:27):
of whoever you want in there to not be blurred
so they can look like a monster. Because if you
blurred somebody's face, they must be a victim and not
a Hawaiian tropic model who's just happy to be at work.
So probably some of that. You know what we're gonna
get in the timeframe for it, I don't know. Let's

(29:48):
see here. Yes, Under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, oh man,
if you had a few more words, you could have
done something really funny anyway with the acronym. Under the
act signed by President Trump last month, the Attorney General
is directed to make publicly available in a searchable and

(30:10):
downloadable format, all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials
in the possession of the Department of Justice, including the
Federal Bureau of Investigation, US Attorney's Office, anything related to
Epstein or his associated ms Maxwell. I think I think

(30:30):
a lot of people are watching this to see a
couple of things. One they better not bone you know,
bone head up the digital availability right where you got
links that don't go anywhere, or you know, you uploaded
the half of some or god forbid, you uploaded something
you're not supposed to like. If you bungle that, people
are just gonna be like, well, this is part of

(30:51):
the cover up, I promise you. That is how the
media is. Well you guys know this, but then sometimes
I think you don't like you just led Vanity Fair
do an eleven day interview with Susan Wilds, and they
they torched her because I could have told you that
they would, And yet y'all agreed to that up there
at the White House, to let Vanity Fair tag along

(31:16):
for a week and a half, and you thought something
good was going to come out of that. So that's
why I remind people of these things. Don't bungle this up.
Any bungling will be seen as attempt to cover up
in the way that the media will frame it. So
there's that. Let's see, the file includes more than three
hundred gigabytes of data and physical evidence in the FBI's

(31:38):
custody and within the Justice Department, all right now. And
again there was argument over what, well, what do you
do with victims who are in there who don't want
to be named? And there's not a ton of wiggle
room on that. So and and also where did I

(31:59):
see this? I think I saw a statement that the
expectation that there are twenty names in there that are
not known at this point or have not at least
I guess, been speculated. It's how they described It's a
little weird. So what that looks like, I don't know.
I don't know, but it could be a very interesting day.

(32:23):
Watching the video of our Treasury Secretary Scott Vessen, who's
just sitting there with his family, I get, I don't
know who's at the table with him, but he's just
sitting there at a restaurant DC trying to eat. And
of course some activists stands up in the middle of
this restaurant, it's not a big restaurant, and it's like

(32:46):
pretend making a toast to him, and it's just this obnoxious,
screamy code peak kind of woman. And she's like at first,
she's like, hey, I just want you to know we
got a special gut. I'm not gonna play I'm not
going to play her garbage, so I'll save you from that.
But the gist of it was, Hey, look it's Scott
Bess and everybody, Hey, did you know that he's killing

(33:09):
he just killed six hundred thousand people a year with sanctions.
He's eating in peace, You're murdering six hundred thousand people.
And about half about half the restaurant is booing this
woman and Bedson literally lifts his glass, looks back at
her and goes, you're ignorant. You don't even know how
ignorant you are, and then turns back and then I

(33:31):
think he talks to one of the staff. It's like, oh,
can you believe he complained to the staff. Yeah, yeah,
because everyone there. It's a busy restaurant. It's very intimate
looking restaurant. There's maybe twenty tables. They're just trying to eat.
You're not even at a table. It looks like something
tells me because I think she is code pink. And

(33:53):
one of their things is going back to the first
Trump thing where they go and they like to scream
at officials, so they have like a little work. I
spotted him. You remember this garbage from the first Trump administration, right,
even the Press secretary couldn't go eat in where was
that Richmond or Roanoke that that's speckled hen or whatever

(34:14):
the restaurant was. And everyone's like, yeah, if you see him,
if you see him out in public, scream at him.
And that's what lunatics did for a while. So I
and I got to think, if you're a restaurant in DC,
especially a nicer one where the possibility is you're going
to get high level executive branch people in there. You
got to have a policy for this. I'd be mad

(34:36):
as hell, not being Scott Bessen, but just some guys
trying to eat in peace that nobody's doing anything from
a restaurant perspective. So that's tiring. And this this is
an actual headline. Okay, two Santa's and forty Elves rob

(34:58):
grocery store. One. You can't have two Santas. So now
we know they're not the real Santas. So that's fine,
So tell your kid, it's fine, not the real Santa's,
Robin the store and forty Yelves. So this is an
actual organized theft ring the group who calls themselves the

(35:22):
Oh it's in French because it's in Montreal, but essentially
the backstreet Robins. What a stupid gang name. All right,
we need something to strike terror in the uh in
the hearts of Pete because you'll hear their motive here
in a moment. But they're wanting to instill fear. Let's

(35:44):
just just trust me on this. What do we go with?
All right? So how about half a boy band and
the most non threatening bird in existence? Can we do that? Okay?
All right, good. We're the we're the backstreet robins. So

(36:04):
what's their thing? Okay, they see themselves as Robin Hood's.
That's the robins, get it and robbing from the rich
and giving to the poor. This time they stole about
five thousand dollars in groceries. Well, yeah, you got forty
two people just supermarket sweeping in there. They sold about

(36:26):
four thousand or five thousand in groceries, left some under
a Christmas tree in a like a square where there's
a lot of poor people and homeless people, basically dumping
them there with a letter explaining their actions. Quote, there's
no other way to say it. A handful of companies
are holding our vital needs hostage. What a what a
straight communy line? That is, man, A handful of companies

(36:50):
are holding our vital needs hostage. You know that if
you really got good at it, you can meet your
vital needs all on your own. And there's a lot
of a lot of woods up there in Canadia. So
get yourself a little Yeah, you're gonna have to get
a little money together, get yourself a little off grid thing.

(37:11):
You can totally live up there. I spent I lived
three months up in the up in the mountains. It
was during the summer, so there's that. But I would
but you know, I could have been. That's when we
were building. The other cabin lived in a tent, put
up the outfit or tent, lived in that thing, and
then we just hi built built with the contractors up there,

(37:32):
Me and two of my dumb buddies who just want
to make some money. We loved it up there. We'll
get some trout in the evening. It was great. So
like then, nobody's holding it hostage. Right. You can you
can farm, you can forage, you can you can trap,
you can hunt, you get you can get your food
taken care of, even in that environment. If you know

(37:53):
what you're doing, got a well like this is all solvable.
But no, you got to go rip off a grocery store.
They continue to oppress the population to siphon off as
much money as possible from them simply because they can.
All right, so I didn't realize you're entitled to a

(38:15):
beef a roni, which, by the way, again, if you
know what you're doing, you can make your own beefaroni.
You'll probably be a little better. The problem is they're
going in and they're getting into altercations with not the
rich people. Who do you think you're robbing in person?

(38:35):
When you go just go crazy in a store like that,
You're you're robbing a bunch of people that aren't making
that much money. Are gonna have to clean up after
you know what you what you did because you're not
delicate about it. You guys are just throwing stuff in bags.
And by the way, do they even have a sheriff

(38:57):
up there? I'm completing the robin Hood arc here. Yeah,
they post video of this too. How many of they hit?
That's what I'm trying to figure out here. Okay, all right,
so this is this is the third one, and in
addition to depositing the Food and the Homeless Square, they've

(39:18):
also been distributing it to food banks, but they've been
spacing it out so as not to draw suspicion. Thus far,
no arrests have been made in any of the any
of it. M Oh, you know what, that is a
very fair question. I am so sorry. I am so sorry.

(39:40):
I don't believe that elves are little people, at least
in the video. It just looks like they just happened
to be. They just got elf duty. Yeah, that would.
I gotta tell you though, going back to the uh,
the you know, the minimum wage worker there is now

(40:02):
going to clean up your mess and all that. If
if when it's done, I had a story to tell
and it was too Santa's, say, like full size Santa
and they actually committed enough to find forty little people,
that would be a better story I would. I mean,

(40:25):
I'd still be like, oh wow, that was stressful. Like
I didn't know what was happening. I don't know what
they were gonna do, but holy hell, did you see
that it was? It was two Santa's and then forty elves,
actual elves. That would make it just a little better
for me. So yes, very fair question, Very fair question. Emailer,

(40:46):
all right, seven fourteen, Hang on, I just retweeted this.
Oh that is great. All right, so and let me
let me hold on, let me do this. I'm gonna
grab a phone call and I'll tell you what I'm
laughing about. Okay, but if you want to sneak peaking,

(41:08):
go catch it on on our Twitter at Casey on
the radio. A. It's just a rather interesting police chase
of sorts. Let me grab Joe. He's been holding on Joe,
what's up? Hey callo? Hey, Yeah, go right ahead, sir.

Speaker 4 (41:27):
Okay, yeah, I heard you earlier when we were talking
about the people on purlough. So there were people that
were known as exempted and they had to work, so
they worked over a month, uh no pay, and they
had bills, do mortgages, they had car payments, they had insurance.
Some companies, you know, worked with federal workers, others didn't.

(41:49):
So when when people say that a all federal workers
got like a forty two forty three day holiday with pay,
that that's not the case. Not the case for where
I work, because there was one hundred.

Speaker 1 (42:00):
Yeah, Joe and I and I thought I split that
hair there, but I was I was detailing what people's
reaction was to it. Where they go, wait, said, these
guys just had forty two days off, But I understand
not everybody did. I mean I traveled doing that clearly,
the you know, the the TSA people were there and

(42:21):
the customs people were there. So yeah, but also I
you know, enjoy it, man, Do you get all three
days now? Oh?

Speaker 4 (42:30):
Yeah, it's it's we're very much looking forward to it.
Can I give you an Irish cheer before you before
we end the call.

Speaker 1 (42:37):
Sure, I don't have anything to drink, Well, have some water,
so go ahead, all.

Speaker 4 (42:40):
Right, casey, may it be in heaven a half hour
before the devil knows you're dead.

Speaker 1 (42:45):
All right. In fact, I might go get some whiskey
during the break. All right, hey, Joe, enjoy your your
three days, man in your holidays. Okay, all right, there
you go, because I got an hour and thirty eight
minutes left. Well, I actually have a crap ton of
production and other stuff I gotta do. But just a reminder,
this is the final show oh the year. But you know,

(43:07):
January fifth, we'll be back at it. Ross will be back.
I'm sure he's got some baby stories. I know you
guys probably will dig on those, judging by the reaction
to the photos every time he posted something. Yeah, I
think he posted something the other day and it was
link and nursing the new baby. So and that was
very popular with the ladies who just wrote ooh ah emojis.

(43:29):
But you know that's that's what it's there for. So yeah,
that'll be it. And if you think of complaining, I
want you to know I left a week vacation on
the floor this year, so I wasn't gonna take this
week just just to burn it. But I'm like, ah,
I got you know, I got a trip coming, but
I don't have to leave yet, and so we'll just

(43:51):
do the show. So there you go, all right, So
what am I? What am I laughing at? So this
happened over in Italy? All right? So in Italy, you know,
you get the you get the boats, they land and
people scatter, and then you know, if they get up
there and they're not intercepted, and then authorities, I'm sure,
make a half hearted effort to go ahead and catch them.

(44:13):
So here's what happened. Although I will say this Italy
is getting more. They are cracking down. That's why they're
mad at the Maloney chick because the EU is like,
you can't do that, and she's like, well, I don't
know if we need to be in the EU. And
then they shut up. So so they they it was
a boat, and I don't know if it was all
people from Ghana. But the hero of our story or

(44:36):
the villain, depends on what you think is from Ghana.
So he runs, he runs in what is the name
of this city? Doesn't say somewhere in somewhere in southern Italy. Eh, whatever,
all right. So they so they scatter in and in

(44:57):
the middle of town they have a huge nativities scene
set up, and it just so happened the mayor of
the city was down there for there there was something
going on, and the mayor walks over to where this
Nativity scene is and I want to read his quote

(45:18):
because it's amazing. The mayor initially considered contacting organizers to
congratulate them on how lifelike the figures appeared, but upon
closer inspection realized it was a real person. Yeah. So
here's what dude did. He's he's trying not to get caught.

(45:40):
He sees that they're looking for him as a bunch
of people around. He goes into the nativity scene because
it's all like, you know, real life size, and then
stands there with his hands out like he's a zombie
vision in your mind, somebody walking like a zombie after
knocking over one of them to pretend to be one
of the wise men. And he's wearing modern clothing and

(46:04):
there's a photo of it, and it's amazing. And I
just tweeted it out at Casey on the radio of
him standing there like a zombie pose because everybody else
is in you know traditional you know Jesus garb of
the era, right, Mary's got the veil with the you know,
the blue and then he got the baby there and

(46:26):
then everybody else is in the tunics, if you will.
And this guy's in like black jeans, a bomber jacket.
But the part where he's doing the zombie pose is
so funny. Go check it out at at Casey on
the radio. I just retweeted it, just if just for

(46:47):
the photo, all right. The mayor initially called another city
official to help him then deal with this, but the
fugitive then claimed that this stable is his residence. And
there's a few these guys they get they have a

(47:08):
little scripts and stuff, and we get this down the
Mexican border too. But you have humanitarian groups that put
together these things, like if you say these things, it
makes it very hard to throw you out if you're
over eighteen, but you could pass for under you're under eighteen.
Oh yeah yeah, yeah yeah. So and one of those
things is if you have official residence. Clearly he does

(47:29):
not have a residence there in the stable. If he'd
got if he'd have got there, you know, just a
little earlier beat the Joseph and Mary there, then maybe
he could have got it, but he didn't, so they
identified the suspect as a fugitive. Oh and this is

(47:49):
his second trip to Italy. Previously he had committed crimes
in Bologne. Yeah, okay, so yeah, he was down in
another another Italian city, got a sentence for nine months,
then got deported, I guess, and then got back. All right, anyway,
just just go check the photo out and coming up

(48:11):
on the show eight oh five, we'll chat with mister
Pete Calender about very important stuff. I'm sure we'll get
all the important stuff together. Uh oh, look at this
all right, hang on, mister Boston Paul's on the phone.
Let's see what he wants. Yes, sir, what can I
do for you? Although they are Boston Paul, but see there, Hey, yeah,

(48:38):
I can hear you.

Speaker 5 (48:40):
I got music going.

Speaker 1 (48:42):
Uh huh uh huh I can't. I can't hear it.

Speaker 6 (48:46):
Okay, And now I can hear you without the music.
Oh you.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
There?

Speaker 1 (48:53):
Yeah, go ahead, sir.

Speaker 6 (48:56):
Hey, you on those flags up there in Boston, you
know when they were, you know, destorying.

Speaker 5 (49:01):
Them, Yeah, in the graves the way it would have
been handled.

Speaker 6 (49:06):
If they were caught, prosecution would have been held at
the VFW. Oh that would have been the end of that.
But I wanted to say, is you know, happy Holidays,
all that stuff, Merry Christmas.

Speaker 5 (49:19):
Take care of me.

Speaker 6 (49:19):
So while you're out there.

Speaker 5 (49:21):
I remember the formula.

Speaker 1 (49:23):
My entire Christmas vacation is ruined. So because I can't
figure out a way that you losers aren't going to
trip yourselves into at least the AFC Championship game, and.

Speaker 6 (49:35):
It makes I don't know, well, the Ravens could be tough,
but other than that, I.

Speaker 1 (49:41):
Mean they could be. They haven't demonstrated that they want
to be. And you got decapped, mister Kansas City there, so.

Speaker 5 (49:49):
Well we didn't.

Speaker 7 (49:52):
So I just want to remember with it. So, yeah,
remember the formula while you're out didn't that right? Announces
will water the sixty four ounces of beer or thirty
two ounces of wine or six ounces of booze?

Speaker 5 (50:05):
Right? But I don't know.

Speaker 6 (50:10):
I kind of round up so and you know, while
you're on your job, sits there in LinkedIn made a
bird of paradise flay if you know, Okay, anything else
we haven't covered.

Speaker 1 (50:24):
I don't know, are these old Southeast as they're very inspiration.
All right, are you gonna are You're gonna pack up
the motor home and at least try to do some travels.

Speaker 6 (50:34):
Well, we've we've been moving around what kind of what
kind of station?

Speaker 3 (50:37):
Every for a while?

Speaker 1 (50:39):
Okay, alright a couple of months. All right, Well I'll
let the FBI know where that they can find, you.

Speaker 5 (50:44):
Know, so we got all right?

Speaker 1 (50:46):
All right, man, have a Christmas yeah you too? All right,
there you go, Boston, Paul off to imbibe and some
Christmas cheer or something. Alrighty let me uh yeah. I
just the NFL is so broken year. I can't I
can't do a Patriots deep playoff run. I can't. I

(51:11):
you can't crap on my Q one like that. But
I just I don't know if Denver is gonna be
enough to stop him. It's very frustrating. Yes, I know,
I know the Bills just flipped them. But that game
was I don't know what that was. I'll say you

(51:31):
last night was crazy. That get into too much of it,
like to get to the end and have to get
a two point conversion to look like you didn't and
then to have officiating and go, well, actually, no, that
was not a pass. That was you know, it was
behind the line of scrimmage, so technically it's a live ball.
And then for some guy just to walk over and
put his hand on it and they're like, all right,

(51:53):
it counts. Was It was very interesting, especially if you're
somebody who's a little suss on all this sports stuff
right now. And I can't imagine what would cause you
to be a little suspect with some of this stuff.
All right, where did I put this story? Sorry? I

(52:13):
got so distracted by the dude pretending to be a
wise man, wearing modern clothes and posing like he's in
a he's a zombie in a zombie movie. I just
made my Morden the cackles of the hearts as they say. So,
you remember the judge in Wisconsin who basically decided, hey,

(52:33):
you know it would be a good idea. I don't
like ice, so I'm going to not just look the
other way while an illegal immigrant escapes out of my courtroom.
I'm going to give him VIP access so that he
can use a separate egress and he can make his
way down the hallway and he can go down this elevator,

(52:56):
and because he's with the judge, the ice people are
still waiting. They don't know what's going on. And then
we're going to show them where a back door is
so he can run like hell, which the ice people
had seen that, so they got to do. But that
being said, the judge has been found guilty of obstruction.
I know, right, Yeah, the jury, after deliberating for six hours,

(53:18):
handed down the verdict. This is a felony. By the way,
she faces up to five years in prison when sentenced.
Clearly they're not going to send her to jail for
five years. I'd have a hard time believing that that's
gonna happen. But at the very least, she sure's heck,
shouldn't be a judge anymore. And I don't know in

(53:39):
Wisconsin what is she Milwaukee County Circuit, so I don't
know what the rules are there. She had a separate charge,
what was it concealing an individual to prevent arrest, which
is a mismean So she got convicted on the felony,
but they didn't give her the misdemeanor, which maybe that's

(53:59):
how it was, that's what they were looking for. And
sentencing five years in prison, she sends no date for sentencing.
I'm just trying to see if her lawyer put a
statement out. She's smart. They didn't. Yeah, all right, I
don't see a statement anywhere there because at first there

(54:19):
was some pushback and it was weird because the media,
I think, because the video and the narrative was so
easy and compelling to understand, like even that was indefense. Well,
even though they tried in the first few days like
oh this is this is just you know, this is
Trump arresting his enemies. No, not somebody who's on video

(54:41):
doing something illegal who should know better because they're a judge.
M Oh, what is this? Oh no, I have not seen.
I have not feasted upon Josh Stein's social media post
this morning. I don't want to get nauseous, not on

(55:05):
my last show. Is it just okay? All right, I'll
look at it. So he taking credit for the lumby
recognition even though Trump did it. Oh he is okay?
All right? Well, Hey, what the heck good for him?
Is he eating something in the picture now, I'll have

(55:26):
to go look. I don't know Josh loves to eat stuff, which,
by the way, he loves to eat he loves to
eat delicious stuff a couple you know, because he goes
to the hotspots and he's like, hey, who wants some
of this? And then you know he's got what is it,
barbecue tacos or some of those look good where everyone
was making fun of his picture there all right? Eight

(55:46):
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four. I'm
surprised this is the first one of these that has happened.
But already the incoming mayor of New York, Donnie one
of his they're not cabinet appointments, but basically the mayor
in New York has a bunch of appointees and they

(56:12):
keep being insane nominations. And I'm like, I because I
don't know they have to be approved by anybody other
than maybe the reaction from your constituency and if they
elected that dude, and then are finding his appointments insane. Dude,
I'm telling you, you may not even realize how interesting

(56:34):
it could get up there. All right, seven forty three,
let's get Ray Stagic if he's ready to go, because
we got oh you can't, all right, yeah, just a
sec Also, Jade, there you go, you have pick up
Pete there. I think Pete was calling in all right, yeah,

(56:56):
we got all the irons in the fire, all the
irons in the fire. So all right, let me get
this now. So what could actually get you kicked from
one of these cush appointments. Well, Catherine Almonte da Costa

(57:17):
really hates Jewish people and really really love to you know,
post about it on social media. Yeah, let's see from
twenty eleven to twenty twelve, let's see here. Let me
read just some of these real quick money hungry Jews.

(57:38):
Shaking my head woo promoted to the upstairs office today,
working alongside the rich Jews, breaking from the far rockaway
train is the jew train. Yeah, yeah, this is just one.
He nominated some other dude the other day too. Oh

(57:58):
my goodness, Like, I don't I look, recidivism is a thing,
and this guy likes to recidiv or however you'd word that,
and so like it's one thing where you're one of
these weird These judges won't give anybody time. You're like,
he just needs a thirty seventh chance. We'll go ahead

(58:18):
and get him a thirty seventh chance. And then you
find out that in this case, it's not just to
stay in public, but it's to influence how they're going
to handle crime in New York City. Oh yeah, I
mean he does have a lot of crime experience. So
we'll see how many of these hold up. All right,
so let's go ahead and grab Ray via the phone.

(58:40):
How you doing, sir?

Speaker 3 (58:42):
I'm doing good.

Speaker 6 (58:43):
How are you?

Speaker 1 (58:44):
Well? It's my last show of the year. I got
an hour and fifteen minutes left, so hey.

Speaker 3 (58:49):
Yeah, but who's counting right? Who's counting far? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (58:52):
Well they got an hour and fourteen minutes left, so.

Speaker 3 (58:57):
Yeah, but who's counting right? Well, we actually got action
this morning. Line of thunderstorms came through the triangle and
severe thunderstorm Morning is still in effect here just to
our east now of the triangle.

Speaker 5 (59:10):
This is for.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
Warren Nash, northwestern Halifax, north central Wilson, and eastern Franklin counties.

Speaker 2 (59:16):
Until eight o'clock.

Speaker 3 (59:17):
The line does look like it's weakening, heading toward Heathsville,
Lewis cross Road and places like Avington. But the good
news is as it weakends, it means less in terms
of wind and the potential for damaging winds. And I
didn't see any hal reports, but there could be some
small hail. Now we'll shift our focus just to the
spotty showers back towards the west, because after this kind

(59:38):
of cluster line goes east, I think we're done with
anything significant. The showers will tape off mid morning, and
then we'll actually get some clearing behind the front. Temperatures
are going to fall mid upper fifties and low sixties
this morning to closer to fifty degrees later today, so
there'll be some big changes with that sun out and
dusty winds Tonight in the upper twenties to low thirties.
Tomorrow looks like sunshine near fifth and then mid upper

(01:00:00):
fifties on Sunday. Sunday, the first day of winter, looks
like it'll be a decent day, and then into early
next week we're in good shape. Christmas Eve and Christmas
Day are looking good, even milder weather. Here's Christmas Eve
sunshine near sixty degrees. Christmas Day mostly sunny and highs
in the load to mid sixties. So it looks like

(01:00:21):
we'll get through this. This little bit of rain now
left over, especially east, and we've got some mild weather
coming next week, especially Christmas Eve. At Christmas Day, well.

Speaker 1 (01:00:30):
I'm gonna be some Christmas golf there.

Speaker 3 (01:00:32):
That sounds like it to me.

Speaker 1 (01:00:34):
Yeah, it's a possibility. All right, thank you, Ray, we'll
chat again the next hour. I would go on there, yep, yeah,
and then we will we'll come back. Sorry, this is
a California man, so the I have to give you
an update on the Remember the big reservoir that good
you know, was empty, the one there at what they

(01:00:55):
call the Sanny Nas Reservoir, even though the Sandy Nas
Reservoir is Kachuma and it's well confuse, but that was
the one in Pacific Palisades, and they're like, why has
it been sitting empty? What if we put water in there?
Wouldn't that have been helpful? Okay, Well, if there's a
little news, I'll share it with you. Coming up next
hang on KCO Day radio program. All right, let me

(01:01:16):
grab a quick phone call. We got Pete Calender coming
up here in about ten minutes. Lot's to get into
with him. They had a big meth bus down there,
and I don't know. I'm not a law enforcement expert,
but I'm going to try to read into a clue
here and maybe we'll get We'll have some questions for
Pete about that. Let me do this first, Ron. What's up, Hi?

Speaker 5 (01:01:42):
Yeah, about legal alien birth right. I was on the
East end of Long Island my whole life, and I
was in the coast doar for twenty four years. Twenty
of those years I was a boarding officer, four years
boarding team member. Over the course of that time, I've
taken months like a university student that takes an hour

(01:02:04):
and a half in his whole four year career at
Yale law or something, but months of immigration law and
all the laws from the nineteen teens nineteen. There's like
five sets of laws which be got the Rico Act.
Do you know what the Rico Act is?

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
Yes? For criminal enterprise?

Speaker 5 (01:02:25):
Okay, yes, Well when you benefit from criminal enterprise this
they can seize your property. Well, that was out of
the immigration law. If you snunk into the country on
a steamer or through Canada or however as a stowaway
or something, and you came to the country, he didn't

(01:02:45):
gone through ellis Island properly, you were then forced to
go back. Well what happens is that's the way the
law is. It's been that way since the teens. The
problem is the East end of Long Island. You have
all these crimean liberals from the we call them city.
It's from New York City that moved out to the island,

(01:03:06):
and they say, let's give these poor people a chance,
and the hospitals and schools automatically enrolling them. Oh well,
we'll give you a birth certificate, we'll give you this,
we'll give you school. And that's how they make them
quote unquote legal. But they're not legal. If you come
into the United States illegally and you marry a citizen

(01:03:31):
because you came in illegally, that child, whether you're pregnant
or not, or have the baby here or not, is
not a legal citizen because you've defrauded the United States government.

Speaker 1 (01:03:45):
And in your scenario, and I very short on time,
didn't you just say if you're a so is the
baby half of citizens? Because if the no.

Speaker 5 (01:03:57):
The baby is no.

Speaker 1 (01:03:59):
No, the mother and father gotcha, she got you, all right,
So your beef is the mother earth right And and yes,
I nobody disagrees with you, so well I shouldn't say nobody.

Speaker 5 (01:04:10):
But the thing is they're trying to pass so they're
trying to pass laws. And the thing is there's already
walls on the book just enforced what's on the books.
I had a boat customer that came from Sweden. She
married the Americans when she was coming back, and she
was pregnant in customs. She had the baby, and then

(01:04:31):
I asked what happens, and they said, well, the baby
has until the age of eighteen. After eighteen because its
dual citizenship because the.

Speaker 1 (01:04:41):
Mother and father, then I got I got thirty seconds left. Yeah,
my music's gonna start doing so.

Speaker 5 (01:04:48):
Anyway, we just enforced the laws and get them to.

Speaker 2 (01:04:52):
Send them back.

Speaker 1 (01:04:53):
Well, they're gonna have but here's the deal. They're gonna
have to get on the birthright and thanks for the
call to run on the on the birthright citizenship, they're
they're gonna have to probably get They're gonna have to
get a ruling at Supring Court level, or there's gonna
or you know, Congress is gonna have to do something,
and who knows, because again, now you're dealing with an amendment,

(01:05:13):
and an amendment which was intended to provide citizenship to
freed slaves and Native Americans was not It was not
intended for how it is used now. But I know
you all know that it is Friday and it's even
a better Friday than a normal Friday because we do,
of course enjoy chatting with our boy mister Pete Calen

(01:05:35):
or Midday's WBT. But it's also my final show of
the year, so uh, we don't have to do this
for a few weeks. We can sleep in unless you're
gonna work or something. How you doing, Pete? I am, oh, okay,
all right, one way rub it in. You have me
to call in on a fake name on your show
and just show rant like a lunatic.

Speaker 2 (01:05:55):
I can wait, haven't you already been doing that?

Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
Oh yeah, but I call myself Kyle and I run
for office a lot.

Speaker 2 (01:06:05):
Have you set up a pack that raises like no
money and has no effect on North Carolina politics?

Speaker 1 (01:06:11):
Yep, it's the best. So yeah, totally not talking about
a real person there.

Speaker 2 (01:06:16):
No, no, not somebody I've muted and he just screens
into the abyss every now and again. I've become aware
that he's ranting and raving, not a real person.

Speaker 1 (01:06:23):
Though, Yeah, yeah, he every now and I've I've always
ignored him. I mean, we've had him on the air,
this non real person, but I just ignored him on
Twitter because there it's just a it's just a vicious
cyclist stupid speaking of samples as stupid. Did you catch
that the uh, the city City of Los Angeles has
now decommissioned for the next nine months, the very same

(01:06:48):
reservoir that was empty. Yeah, so they brought it back
for about four months and have water in it. Uh,
And then now they're gonna they're taking it offline for
the next nine months, which is perfect if you know
anything about California, because having lived there for a few years,
I get very adept at what fire season is. Yeah,

(01:07:10):
the winds and it's Santa Ana win season, which goes
very nicely if you're fire with fire season, but very
badly if you're the state of California or its residents.

Speaker 2 (01:07:21):
So well, I mean, I mean, I guess that kind
of I mean, it makes a lot of sense because
you know, you have fewer homes now that you need
to supply the water too, so you don't need all
of the capacity anymore.

Speaker 1 (01:07:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:07:35):
Right, So you lost all of those homes in the
Palisades fire and they haven't been rebuilt, right.

Speaker 1 (01:07:43):
So you don't mean what kind of one of them,
like one of them got rebuilt because they held a
press conference there, but it was permitted before the fires,
so they.

Speaker 2 (01:07:50):
Quite well, you know, hey, you gotta you gotta look
for the w's wherever they may be, you know.

Speaker 1 (01:07:56):
Is it just I mean there are there's a there's
a few things this week. This is going to tie
into one of the things that's on your list where
I it's like you have to play this game in
competence or weaponized incompetence, right, So like look at California
for what it is, because like sometimes they just want

(01:08:17):
to they just want you to go away, so they'll
be very hard to deal with and they're looking confetent.
So with California, I think it's the evil variety, like
they know what they're doing. But like, what do you
think of watching the press conferences this last week from
the Brown incident, the Brown University incident, Cause, like, I
don't know that you could assemble a gaggle of dumber

(01:08:39):
people to be in charge of this based on those
press conferences for the president of the university, to the
chief of police, to the age for Rhode Island. That
was embarrassing. Man.

Speaker 2 (01:08:51):
Yeah, sort of a trifecta dumb answery.

Speaker 1 (01:08:54):
Yeah, yeah, but you know.

Speaker 2 (01:08:58):
Yeah, from a pure selfish standpoint, it does make for
good content. That is true. That is true, But from
a public safety perspective, which is literally the top priority
of any government, not so great. They yeah, and like
I see that. They're like, there was a reporter that
was demanding that they just admit that Brown University was

(01:09:22):
hindered by the fact that they had removed a bunch
of cameras from By.

Speaker 1 (01:09:26):
The way, I would point out, this is a Hispanic
radio reporter, right, question.

Speaker 2 (01:09:31):
Right, so you know, he's untouchable. You can't accuse him
of being a racist or something like that for asking
a tough question of a local government official who was
who was white, although the police chief is Hispanic. And
at some point they started talking during one of these
press conferences completely in Spanish, which I didn't I didn't
think that was very helpful, you know, for the English

(01:09:53):
speaking audience. But whatever, But yeah, you know why they
took the cameras down.

Speaker 1 (01:09:59):
Well, this is so, this is the thing. So there's
two theories. You tell me which one you believe. So
they were taken down to prevent ice being able to
grab video of maybe students who are illegal or it's
even further back where they didn't want them, so the
the mostly peaceful pro Palestine protesters wouldn't get caught on

(01:10:19):
camera doing criminal stuff.

Speaker 2 (01:10:21):
Right see. And I would combine both of them and
just say they wanted to protect law breakers, correct, Yes, right,
I mean that's the theme. Like to me, it doesn't
matter if you're trying to do a solid to the
criminal illegal aliens, or if you're trying to do a
solid to the Hamas holas who are out there champion
globalize the Intifada and then pretend to act shocked when

(01:10:44):
Jews get murdered all over the place. Either way, you're
trying to protect the law breakers. And so neither one
of those theories is a good theory, right, So uh,
they and they just won't admit it because they you know,
they it's like when assessing whether it's incompetence or stupidity, right,

(01:11:07):
you know that they recognize there's some aspect to their
decision that they cannot defend, and so they try to
pivot away from it. Right the very fact that they
don't want to address it, They want to move on
call on some other reporter with a different question, or
just end the press conference. Altogether. I think that indicates

(01:11:28):
that they do understand what it is they are doing.
I don't think they consider themselves to be acting out
of malice though. I think they believe that their decisions
were the right decisions and for the right and good
and ethical and moral reasons. But now it's you know,
a little awkward because oops, this thing happened, and now

(01:11:50):
people are going to be mad that we made this ethical, moral,
good decision in the past.

Speaker 1 (01:11:56):
But and yeah, I know you know this, and I
agree with you too. That's that's the problem with a
lot of these the real hardened lunatics, is they feel
so virtuous that you could never convince them they're wrong. Right,
did you see that? You see the lady who was
screaming at Scott Bessing in the restaurant yesterday?

Speaker 2 (01:12:15):
Yeah, how did they find out where he was eating?

Speaker 1 (01:12:17):
Well? You know those you know, they have like a
little network, right, little code pink network thing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:22):
Yeah, I think MTG is trying to get in on that.

Speaker 1 (01:12:26):
Yeah. Well, and there's they They literally have a little
like I'm not sure exactly what platform they use, but yeah,
I remember all these Antifa stuff, all the Antifa stuff,
like when you when they actually got into a few
of those treasure troves. Man, I'm told they're just a
thought and not a thing, but it looked like a
very well organized thing.

Speaker 2 (01:12:47):
So yeah, yeah, the idea of Antifa seems to be
pretty well organized for being just an idea.

Speaker 1 (01:12:56):
But like we went through this during the first Trump administration,
people act to the poor press secretary couldn't get some
eat in Roanoke or Richmond, wherever the host. She was right,
and uh, they were very public. I remember what's her
bucket from California, Maxine Waters like she was she wanted
them to get them at a gasoline station.

Speaker 2 (01:13:16):
Exactly, get up in their face and make them uncomfortable.

Speaker 3 (01:13:19):
Yep.

Speaker 1 (01:13:19):
Yeah, So I'm I'm not at all surprised here, all right,
I gotta I gotta flip over to this because you
got to help me out. I'm not I don't know
my Charlotte geography. So I saw in the Here we
Go Charlotte Observer a three million in meth discovered during
traffic stop near Charlotte. What I don't know all my neighborhoods.

(01:13:40):
What neighborhood is Sinaloa neighborhood? Where where is that? Because
that was on the plate of the car. Is that in?

Speaker 4 (01:13:50):
No, we don't.

Speaker 1 (01:13:51):
I don't know, we don't.

Speaker 2 (01:13:53):
No, Yeah, I think I don't know. Is that like
one of those yeah, like no DA or low So,
because like everybody's rebranding their areas if town now with
these little acronyms and stuff, and so maybe it's like
South of Independence or something SI in I don't know
because we don't. I don't know how the North Carolina
does its license plates in Wake County, but in Mecklenburg

(01:14:16):
County they don't. They don't separate them out like by
city or something like you're like, Ohio, I think they've
got you know, counties listed. In Tennessee does this too, Yeah,
we don't have Atlanta. Yeah, we don't have that in
North Carolina. Of course. In in Mecklenburg, most of our
cars actually don't even have permanent tags. They're all just

(01:14:37):
those pieces of paper, right, So, which apparently is okay. Now,
like I'm up for a car inspection. I got to
get my car inspected. I'm thinking why, like I'm just
gonna go out and get one of those those paper tags.

Speaker 1 (01:14:49):
Because of the booby traps you built in well, you
know you don't have like crowd dispersion gas to cut
You ever see that suv that's got that stuff like
nel come out of the door handle.

Speaker 2 (01:15:02):
Oh I like it?

Speaker 1 (01:15:03):
Yeah, yeah, I like it. There's so many there's so
much good stuff there. My point being that I think
that you guys need to Charlotte Web again. If people
are driving three million dollars in meth in on plated
cars from Sineloa, Mexico, which by very includes stones, the
absolute stone is to drive in this day and age,
a Cineloa car with three million in meth is amazing.

Speaker 2 (01:15:24):
Right, Yes, so they may not be sending their best
and brightest. Maybe I don't know, a bunch of their
mules have been taken out by those by the strikes,
by the president or something. I'm not sure, but yeah,
that doesn't seem like the best plan. But maybe it's
maybe it's like hiding in plane sight kind of a thing, Like,
surely nobody would be so dumb as to drive all

(01:15:47):
that myth with Sineloa plates. So maybe that was what
they were banking on, or maybe they were banking on
the fact that if they get pulled over, you know,
being an illegal immigrant or something is not enough to
get you arrested.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
Yeah.

Speaker 2 (01:16:03):
Right, So maybe that's what they were using that that
knowledge to their benefit, which you know, hats off. Or
maybe he was the decoy. Maybe there was like ten
million dollars in some other vehicle that was like driving
along with him, and so he gets pulled over and.

Speaker 1 (01:16:17):
The okay, yeah, yeah, yeah, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (01:16:21):
You never know, all right.

Speaker 1 (01:16:23):
I got to pivot over to these two stories. I
never met a Hunt, Jim Hunt. He's probably he's probably well,
I haven't actually technically met Stein, but I never met
Jim Hunt. I wasn't here when when he was governor,
so I can't speak to any of that. I think
the conversation is interesting because it's the same conversation we

(01:16:45):
have with presidents like George Bush is Satan, except now
he's everybody's cool, right, right. So I see people commenting,
they're like, you know, if you if you drop Jim
Hunt in today, he'd uh, you know that you'd almost
be a Republican and all of that, and and every
time I hear that, my response is right. But since
everybody just pivots to whatever supposed to be the you know,
the new thing of the day within the Democrat Party.

(01:17:08):
If you drop Jim Hunting, when don't he just revert
to whatever the party policies are now. And you can
do the same thing with the Republican as a thought exercise.
So I don't know, give me your impression of Jim
Hunt and his democrat ness as I saw people discussing.

Speaker 2 (01:17:24):
Yeah, I mean, well, first to the point about you know,
everybody you know remembering these these deceased politicians with fondness, right,
that is usually a that's usually something that's that's primarily
reserved for Democrats. You know, I've been reading pieces on
Hunt like you. I came along after he was gone.

(01:17:47):
Mike Easley was the first North Carolina governor that I covered,
so Jim Hunt was already gone, but I was aware of,
like the political machine that he built, you know, the
Christmas mass Christmas Eve massacre that he orchestrats to fire
a whole bunch of people and stuff like that. Stuff
doesn't get mentioned. The machine that he built, right, the
political machine he built. None of that stuff is really mentioned.

(01:18:08):
It's all about education and is run per Senate, right,
That's what everybody is focusing on. And I get that,
and I think trying to measure him by sort of
a political calculation of the modern time versus when he
was running. I think it's almost like trying to compare
athletes in a sport that are across different generations, Like,

(01:18:33):
is you know, Babe Ruth the best ever versus somebody else,
you know, and that kind of a thing. They are
people of their times, right, and so they adapt and
they come up in that environment that they were in.
So yeah, I don't know, because, like you, I think
that Jim Hunt probably would have adapted and adopted some

(01:18:53):
of the platform planks of the Democrat Party if it
meant that that's what the machine needed in order to
maintain power, because that's the whole point of building the
political machine.

Speaker 1 (01:19:05):
Yeah, I just say I always think these thought exercises
are just a little weird.

Speaker 2 (01:19:10):
Yeah, it's a way to fill time.

Speaker 1 (01:19:12):
If you want power, you'll do whatever you think is
the quickest road to it, if you're willing to divorce
your scruples there.

Speaker 2 (01:19:20):
Well, can I say one thing on that is that
and this isn't about Jim Hunt. I'm not making any
accusation against him, but this is one of the things
about politics also media as well, and in the legal profession.
People who tend to be on the exhibit psychopathic characteristics
and such. They are attracted to these fields and they
don't they don't really believe in the philosophy or ideology

(01:19:44):
therefore the power, right, and so it's difficult to tell
sometimes why somebody is in that field and leading a
movement or something like that, because they may be do
gain because they're a real believer, or they may just
be trying to get the power. So just be on
the lookout.

Speaker 1 (01:20:03):
Yeah, very cynical stuff, all right, let me let me go, Yeah,
Greg biffel Man, Yeah, yeah, this is this is very
said somebody. I showed some of the story yesterday and
they said, they said, why why why are these athletes?
Why is it always athletes or whatever in these in
these jet crashes, And they were talking about Alison and
all of that, and I'm just say, yeah, man, but

(01:20:26):
I wanted to be like, who do you think is
flying private? Right? Right?

Speaker 6 (01:20:30):
Right?

Speaker 2 (01:20:30):
They have the right. They're the ones with the private planes,
the access to the planes. And Biffle was a pilot himself.
He you know, he was recognized and right rightfully so
for you know, running all of the rescue missions and
relief drops with his helicopter out into western North Carolina
right after Hurricane Helen. You know, I mean the work
that he did there, you know, it gave it won

(01:20:52):
him a lot of praise and accolades. Again, as it
rightfully shouldn't. He had you know a lot of people
that were partnered up with him to do that. Lot
of people were helped and saved by him and his
his comrades. And it's just an awful story, you know,
for the for the families his you know, his driver
was on there, the pilot, and his son was on there.

(01:21:15):
It's just a really sad story. And also you know
Greg Biffle's first wife, she lost her daughter, you know,
in that crash. And it's just you know, a week
before Christmas. It's just awful.

Speaker 1 (01:21:26):
Yeah, all right, I'm sorry to end it on that note,
but two important stories there.

Speaker 5 (01:21:32):
All right.

Speaker 2 (01:21:32):
Well, but remember that's the whole point of this season
is to be with your family. And maybe it maybe
it makes people more aware of like the moment you
are in in this holiday season, to be around the
people that you love. You know, this life is fleeting.

Speaker 1 (01:21:46):
Yeah, all right, hey, Pete, Well let's we're going to
reconnect in the new year. But okay, I have yourself
a wonderful Christmas and well YouTube brother, all right, I
appreciate it. On how many collectible and trading cards are
printed right here in North Carolina? Specifically, uh out there,

(01:22:09):
whether Durham has a facility or is it in Morrisville?
Pokemon cardmaker to fill one point three million square foot
North Carolina factory? Yeah, Millennium Print Group. Are these the
same people a print for what's the.

Speaker 5 (01:22:30):
Panini?

Speaker 1 (01:22:31):
Sorry, I'm I'm fascinated by, like where trading cards are
I think I talked about this yere on a show
on the on the show before, Like they're not not
like when I was a kid, where you go out
and you can get pay one thousand dollars for a
box of cards, man or more. I saw some guy

(01:22:51):
on YouTube. He had this little case. It had like
six cards. It looked like a little briefcase. He's like, oh, man,
well that was yeah, it was about four thousand, four
thousand bucks and then like you didn't even get anything
in there, Like that is way too rich for my blood.
But it's big business, man, it's big business. And you

(01:23:11):
you know, you even have more traditional investors, the guy
from Shark Tank, Kevin O'Leary, who pivoted to you know,
sports collectibles, and so you have people that are doing
that for real investment now. So that's great because that
doesn't look like that's going anywhere, especially with the fights

(01:23:32):
I've seen at the Pokemon machines. Oh, fall down that
rabbit hole. Someday they get the cards load. There's like
twenty Pokemon, generally adult enthusiasts. Some are there because they're
just gonna flip them for money, and then if somebody
I guess buys too many in front of the other people,
they lose it. And then somebody starts filming. And it's
generally pretty funny because I don't know what the rules aren't.

(01:23:56):
I don't buy Pokemon cards out of a vending machine.
But there are some crazy, crazy people that are in
that line, is what I have found out. All Right,
So the Washington Post is upset this morning. Here we go,
American Academy of Pediatrics loses funding after criticizing our FK Junior.

(01:24:19):
Is that is that? Is that the whole story? Is
that why that happened? They were they were mean to
RFK and he's like all right, no funding for you.
There's a little more going on here. So when it
comes to the American Academy of Pediatrics, i's had How
much is it by the way, I mean, it's a

(01:24:39):
lot of money by most people's standards, but by Washington standards, it's. Yeah,
eighteen to twenty million. That's that's federal grants that we're
going to the American Academy of Pediatrics. Now, why would
that be, Well, the Washington Post wants you to believe
it's because they you know, they slide in one of
the oligarchs. But the American Academy of Pediatrics, if there

(01:25:01):
is a single medical organization with that failed more during
COVID because you know, you're dealing with kids here, I
don't know which one it would be. I don't know
which one it would be. Back in twenty twenty one,
the American Academy of Pediatrics recommended that all children over

(01:25:22):
age too, whether vaccinated or not, should wear masks who
were returning to school. Well, it was a predictable problem,
especially for kids that are learning to speak. You get
into the really young ones or those who just like
this is why we had not just like math, development

(01:25:45):
and science and you know, those testable things, but we
had real consequences with younger kids where they were developmentally
delayed by this and being able to be having your
mouth covered is was is a horrible thing for it
And people were saying that, and of course they get
shouted down. But what you're gonna see as a pattern

(01:26:08):
as I go through this the American Academy of Pediatrics
falling directly in line with all the bad ideas that
were out there. And then you got to ask yourself,
is that who we should be given money to? If
they got it all that bad, that wrong? So what else? Okay?
That fall The organization then claimed that quote research shows

(01:26:31):
that schools where children and adults are masked are effective
in preventing the transmission of COVID nineteen. That turned out
not to be the case at all. And by the way,
they provided zero citations or references, and then all of
a sudden they flipped it. Then the American Academy of Pediatrics,
once kids were going back to school, all of a

(01:26:52):
sudden changed recommendations to fall in line with the Teachers' union,
used them as their citation. I remember covering this, and
then recommended that schools are remote only. So if there's science,
I'm sure there's some science being done in there, but
it sounds like mostly it's politics. So maybe consider that.

(01:27:17):
So if the American Academy of Pediatrics has their trust eroded,
which polling has showed it has, that's on them one
percent and not shoveling another eighteen to twenty million in there.
If those are the results you're getting, is kind of
how a business would operate. Remember that's what that is.

(01:27:38):
An expectation of trump Man is he doesn't always hold
to it, but you've got to have a business mind.
You're shoveling twenty million and then they give you possibly
three of the worst recommendations that you can then lay
directly at their feet years of learning loss in some
cases for kids. Good, you know, cut the money off.

(01:28:04):
I got no sympathy there, and now they're going to
be like, oh, the way it'll be sold because they're
already tweeting is that they want babies to die. I'm
I'm sure will be the tenor of it. Yeah, that's
the vibe already. I'm just scanning some of the people
who are upset, some of the blue Sky crowd. Oh,

(01:28:25):
let's see here there's the actual letter they sent. Administration
officials cited a range of reasons for cutting off the funding,
including the group's use of identity based language. Okay, so
that's another thing. I included, references to racial disparities, pregnant persons,
and an insufficient focus on at least one grant program
on nutrition and chronic disease. They then cited the things

(01:28:48):
I pointed out during COVID. Yeah, it sounds like, even
though the Washington Post wrote it one way, in this
case that though they slighted RFK, they could have I
don't know, maybe quoted one of the eight things that
are actually identified in the letter that was sent that

(01:29:08):
was then shared to reporters. But nah, we're not gonna
get into any of those, are we. All Right, let's
see here, alight, I put this, let's pair those two together.
All right, let's you know what, Let's go ahead and
do this. Let's get raised ready, let's get Rais Stagic
in the mix. In early We're just goodbyes to everybody. Yeah,

(01:29:33):
are you doing any traveling? Doing anything? Fun? Well? Traveling?

Speaker 8 (01:29:37):
We move mom and dad to Florida from New York
down Naples. So we're going there on the twenty six
for a few days, and then we'll be back for
the annual stagic New Year's Eve bash. So all are welcome.

Speaker 1 (01:29:50):
Sounds borderline illegal, Well, let's just say what happens in
the basement stays in the basement. Is that a lot
of pleasure? I was just thinking of this, Is that
a lot of pressure move your parents to Florida three
hurricane season, because like if you if, if you ever,
if a hurricane hits them, that's on you. Yeah, yeah, yep,
that is it is.

Speaker 8 (01:30:09):
But uh, it was one of those had to be done,
had to be done unexpectedly, and it's luckily they're all
settled in and things are good.

Speaker 1 (01:30:17):
Things are good. To be a little warmer for.

Speaker 8 (01:30:18):
You, Yeah, it will be. Naples is gonna be It's
gonna be nice. Hey, it's gonna get warmer here too. Yeah,
to the tune of maybe sixty plus sixty five and
the triangle for Christmas Day, low sixties for the triad,
I mean a couple of.

Speaker 1 (01:30:32):
Sixty degree days.

Speaker 8 (01:30:33):
Who doesn't look like it's until the first few days
of January that maybe we start getting colder again. Little
chillier this morning behind the front, which has just gotten
past the Triad to the upper forties to the mid
forties as you go west into the mountains, and the
showers are dissipating even to the east. So we should
be done and get some clearing now in here today.
Falling temperatures everybody, probably upper forties to low fifties this

(01:30:54):
afternoon and this evening. Wins are gonna gousta times thirty
plus miles per hour. Tonight we will clear right around
thirty degrees. Depends on where you are, might be in
the upper twenties in the Triad, low thirties for the Triangle.
Sunshine low fifties tomorrow, mid upper fifties on Sunday. Now
Monday we take a small dip. Do you have a
front that comes through Hi's on Monday with sunshine mid

(01:31:15):
upper forties, But then we go fifties Tuesday, and as
I said, Christmas even Christmas Day, low to mid sixties
on average for both days. Very warm weather, which is
going to continue probably right through the rest of the week,
maybe into the new year.

Speaker 1 (01:31:29):
We'll see. Okay, all right, well, you enjoy it, and
you too will reconnect January fifth. Have a good Christmas, sir,
all right? You Tuoe Merry Christmas. Yeah, there you go.
Race Stagic from the Weather Channel. All right, we'll take
a break, come back and Denise Pella Greenie from Bloomberg.
We'll chat with her one last time for the year.
We'll do it next. Hang on, Denise Pella Greene joining

(01:31:51):
us from Bloomberg. What's happened in Denise?

Speaker 9 (01:31:53):
Hey, Casey, good morning. Can we just start by talking
about what's happening with TikTok because it's really kind of crazy.

Speaker 1 (01:32:01):
Oracle is the lead fire.

Speaker 9 (01:32:03):
Yeah, Oracle is a lead buyer in the group buying
into and creating a new joint venture with China's byt
Dance to run the US operations at TikTok. Now, now,
theoretically the venture will operate as an independent entity. It'll
control data protection, content moderation, and algorithm security that's key,
and there will be a new seven member majority US

(01:32:25):
board of directors. But it's not really clear that this
deal is completely a done deal yet, and there's still
a lot of details in it that some say are
murky because China's regulators still have yet to approve the transaction,
and also the terms outlined in TikTok ceo memo show
ch you appear to leave the door open actually for

(01:32:47):
byt Dance to potentially retain oversight of key parts of
US TikTok. The app is used by just about half
the country, as you know, and that national security law
passed and signed under former President Biden mandateds and bye
Den's have no operational relationships, so still a lot of
work for the lawyers to do. And this deal, of

(01:33:08):
course seems to have the blessing of President Trump, so
that's key. It is expected to go through in some form.
Riot Games is working on a major overhaul of League
of Legends case he called League Next, planned for release
in twenty twenty seven. Current and former employees tell Bloomberg
the game's visual, esthetic and technical underpinnings will be reimagined

(01:33:29):
to appeal to new players and make it easier to
push out. Sony meantime, expanding it's hold over the Peanuts
brand in a growing content push, Sony groups Music and
Picture Units plan to spend around four hundred and sixty
million dollars to take control of the company housing the classic.
They've really been expanding their content a lot lately. They

(01:33:49):
had that Blockbuster demon Slayer Kumitz and no Yaiba, the
kabuki themed live action movie Coco Ho and that was
shortlisted for Academy Awards International Feature Film. And right now
stock futures are pointing to a mixed open, Dow futures
down eight s and p futures up seven, Nasdaq futures
up sixty six and Casey just want to talk about

(01:34:11):
the workplace environment with the head of the US Agency
for Enforcing Workplace Civil Rights searching white men to come
forward if they've experienced race or sex discrimination at work.
That's the EEOC chair Andrea Lucas posting that social media
call out, referring users to the agency's fact sheet on
DEI related discrimination for more information, reading, are you a

(01:34:32):
white male who has experienced discrimination at work based on
your race or sex? You may have a claim to
recover money under federal civil rights laws. So that was
on social media platform exit got millions of views already
and it was shared about two hours after Vice President
Jdvence posted an article he said describes the evil of
DEI and its consequences. So this has a lot of

(01:34:55):
people talking about this this morning. Sure it's getting a
lot of attention and uh you know the prospect of
getting money for a perceived wrong from a company that
has a lot of companies this morning looking at their
policies and trying to figure out how they're going to
respond all this.

Speaker 1 (01:35:10):
I'm actually surprised it took that long for everything else.
Lawyers advertised in the middle of the day on right
dies oculoma car accid. Yeah, every clipping.

Speaker 9 (01:35:23):
Did you have a job?

Speaker 1 (01:35:24):
Surprised it's there now, so that's for sure.

Speaker 9 (01:35:26):
Yeah, there's going to be a lot of activity over that.
That is not I mean millions of views. They are
going to be millions and millions.

Speaker 1 (01:35:33):
Art the article, the article we talked about, the article
that that's all based off of this week, it's I mean,
it's like real deep dive. It's very wonky, but like
they brought the numbers, they got the stats there and
it's very interesting.

Speaker 9 (01:35:48):
So guaranteed lifetime employment for lawyers.

Speaker 1 (01:35:51):
Absolutely, isn't that nice for them?

Speaker 7 (01:35:52):
All?

Speaker 2 (01:35:53):
Right?

Speaker 1 (01:35:53):
Are you doing anything fun for Christmas?

Speaker 5 (01:35:55):
Oh?

Speaker 9 (01:35:56):
Yeah, absolutely. We have a big feast and a big
family and a lot of cooking ahead of us.

Speaker 1 (01:36:01):
How about you, Uh, well, not going to be doing
a lot of cooking, So there is that. So nope, ahead,
get ahead of the mountains.

Speaker 9 (01:36:10):
Oh nice, oh nice, Yeah, we'll be there with you.

Speaker 1 (01:36:15):
All right. Well, have a good one year. Yeah, we'll
see you January fifth. Happy both to you as well, Bestival.
You have a good one. Thank you Denise Peller for there.

Speaker 9 (01:36:25):
Moon said miss work, I said I'd miss you.

Speaker 1 (01:36:28):
Okay, all right, yeah, I want to make that all right.
Uh let's see here. Yeah, hey, what is Boston, Paul
you want? Don't forget about Festust you were on, you
called earlier, you could have mentioned it. I'm not doing
your work for you. Get out of here with that,
oh real quickly. Uh look all this is self inflicted wounds.

(01:36:51):
So the n C double A president is very upset
because one of the prediction platforms, prediction market platforms that
Calshi or whatever you've seen it around. Uh, they're going
to now get into handicapping transfer portal action. Why not?
Why not? This is where we are college kids going

(01:37:16):
first their seventh year of eligibility making millions of dollars.
I mean, what what did what did you expect? So
just the and then to have the transfer portal turn
into the insane thing that has turned into hush if
I want to bet on it, I will. I don't, really,
I don't. I'm probably not good for me. I'm not

(01:37:37):
plugged in enough. But there are people out there, and
I know why they're upset because the idea of somebody
from a transfer standpoint like that athlete probably ran that
by a bunch of people, and people talk and rumors
and yeah, but this is where we are, all right.
Uh hey, uh, Jade, are you there? Hello? Hello? Yes,

(01:38:01):
I am all right. So I want to put Jade
on the air here. I didn't even warn her. So
are you gonna be happy that you don't have to
get up at o dark thirty on Monday?

Speaker 5 (01:38:10):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:38:11):
Yeah, I'm gonna be very happy. I'm I'm always tired
when I have to get up that early.

Speaker 2 (01:38:17):
But I'll miss you.

Speaker 1 (01:38:18):
Well. I would just want to say thank you very
much for filling in while Ross is gone and with
a new baby, I'm so there's gonna be some other opportunities.
So and the best part, none of our equipment exploded.
Usually something goes horribly wrong. I'm late enough in this
because I only got forty five seconds where something just
craps out and we really didn't have any major stuff,

(01:38:39):
so that's good. That's good, that's good for us. All right,
are you doing any traveling, Jade.

Speaker 6 (01:38:46):
Oh no, I'll be I'll be at home, but my
family will all be together, so it'll be nice.

Speaker 1 (01:38:51):
All right. We'll have fun with that. And again, just
thank you very much for filling in. We really enjoyed
having you, so thank you a lot better than Trevor,
because Trevor is my boss, so you know,
