Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
So Happy Monday. It is six oh six here on
the Cacoday Radio program, Home of the I bet apparently
we're not in a I mean, I guess we still
technically are, but probably very quickly won't be in a
government shutdown anymore. As they got their five, they thought

(00:23):
they had like ten or twelve that we're gonna come
over from the dark side. But then it was apparently
the exact number of Senate Democrats that are now willing
to end this shutdown because they had a sixty to
forty vote. Now, there's still all the procedural right, it's

(00:45):
got to go through the House, that's got to match up.
There's some there's some extra tweaks to this, but for
the most part, we're kind of where we were week
weeks ago, and we're gonna go ahead and apparently end
this thing. Now. I don't know if that happens today.

(01:06):
I'm assuming it happens today, right, because they just want,
you know, you don't want anyone getting flipped after deciding
to go ahead and end this thing. And you know,
it's like Tim Cain, the Virginia Senator, which makes sense, right,
you got all the government workers there. Of course he's like, oh, well,

(01:29):
I was really busy with the election stuff. Like just
I mean, honestly, the the things that people were willing
to say out loud as to why they just changed
their mind are absolutely backcraft crazy. But you know, at
the end of the day, everyone's trying to save face,

(01:54):
and I you know, I didn't expect it was going
to be ten to twelve, which was the number they
were batting around, because you remember, you already have Fetterman,
you already have Angus King, who is an independent, but
Caucasus with the Democrats, and one I believe it was
one of the Nevada senators were the ones who were
already a yes vote on this thing. So you got

(02:16):
the other Nevada senator. You got Dick Durbin, who you know,
from a leadership standpoint, I believe he's still the number
two Democrat in the Senate. So he came over, and
then like I said, he got Tim Kaine and a
handful of others. So with that in mind, it looks
like they're going to go ahead. But what they didn't

(02:37):
get is the the stipend or the supplement approval. The
Goddess here right that they said that they were fighting over,
and remember this was a thing to hide how unaffordable
Obamacare was, and more specifically during COVID that was intentionally

(03:01):
sunseted because it was sold as a temporary plan, and
making it go any longer from a budget scoring standpoint,
would have shown how unaffordable this thing is. Right, Let's
not pretend that the Obamacare just got unaffordable at the
very same time COVID hit, the thing was already on fire.
This thing that Barack Obama said was going to trim

(03:24):
four trillion off the national debt had literally made things worse,
a lot worse in a lot of instances. So they
saw COVID as an opportunity to try to patch this thing.
They don't want to admit it was wrong because well,
they all voted for it. So this quote unquote temporary patch,

(03:46):
that's what we're arguing over. It was only temporary because
Democrats made it temporary. They're they're just trying to hide
their work. That's what's going on here. And for everyone going, well,
you know, it's still going to make things really expensive
for people, then maybe the answer isn't just throwing a

(04:06):
bunch of money at it, but going this thing didn't
work we need to undo whatever the hell this is.
This is a problem. We got to do something. But
I mean, listen to these lunatics trying to go through
this thing and pretend I don't know that it was

(04:29):
worth the what forty day fight.

Speaker 2 (04:31):
We've got plenty more on the other side. We will
talk much more about this again, you're looking live at
the Senate floor. Sure, the Democratic filibuster has been broken.
We have so far reached sixty. We're writing for the
official count, but right now, sixty votes that would unlock
moving forward with this plan to reopen the government. On
the Senate side, a quick break more on the other side.

Speaker 1 (04:52):
All right, yeah, so what you're saying is you needed
you need Democrat votes there, huh.

Speaker 3 (04:58):
I mean they called it a Democrat phil buster.

Speaker 1 (05:01):
I mean, I'm I mean, that's so weird because I
was I was informed that this is the Republican Yeah, I.

Speaker 3 (05:11):
Thought I thought it was Trump's fault. So why is
why is it suddenly a dem filibuster would just slipped
out there like whooee, well she's probably fired, let's be fair.

Speaker 1 (05:21):
Yeah, probably has to resign like the BBC people. Yeah,
you saw that over the weekend. Just bloodbath over there.
I want to know. Here's here's the deal. So I
don't know if you guys followed this sober BBC they
spliced two parts an hour a part of Trump's language
to make it sound like he ordered the you know,

(05:41):
the invasion of the Capitol, right, blatant? So bad? Yeah,
I mean it's so abundantly clear. So essentially the director
and then the news director of the BBC resigned. Who
edited that? That's That's what I want to know. I
kept seeing that story and I'm like, how about the
person who edited and aired that. I mean, I understand

(06:03):
that those are the folks that were quote unquote in charge,
but they're not the ones on pro tools messing with
that stuff. So many many consciousness to how about we
fire them too? Sorry I got distracted. So anyway, So
CNN admits it's a Democrat shutdown. That's weird. Here's Senator Angus.

Speaker 4 (06:22):
King, you all vote on the extending the tax credits.
It does not guarantee that it's going to happen. So
how do you explain those to your constituents? Why it
was working to put up this fight for so long.
Within the end, you did.

Speaker 5 (06:34):
Not hit your heat demand because it wasn't working. How
long would it take to not get a response to
say it isn't working. In other words, it's been six weeks.
There's been no The Republicans made it clear they weren't
going to discuss the healthcare issue, the Affordable CARECT tax

(06:57):
credits until the shutdown was over. We tried to keep
working that for six weeks. It didn't happen. The vote
that we have there's not a guarantee for sure, it's
more of a guarantee. Here's the way I.

Speaker 1 (07:14):
Would put it.

Speaker 5 (07:16):
As I assessed it, there was zero chance of dealing
with the ACA issue as long as the shutdown continued. Now,
I don't know fifty to fifty, but there's a lot
better chance now than there was this morning because nothing
was happening, and there was no evidence that another week

(07:37):
or another two weeks or Thanksgiving or Christmas was suddenly
the Republicans want to come to us and say, oh,
we want to now talk about the ACA, all.

Speaker 1 (07:47):
Right, And let's just be very clear here. And King
was an early adopter, so the way she's wording it,
I think is a little unfair because he wasn't necessarily
hold up that being said, this is exactly the position
that Republicans offered almost since day one. Right. They never

(08:07):
said this thing's dead, We're never going to discuss it again.
They said, we're going to continue in the resolution and
in the six weeks or whatever, we want to negotiate
this that is, you know, that's something we can negotiate.
Nothing's changed as as much as people, I mean, as
much as they've essentially pinky squared to go ahead and
quote unquote consider it. Nothing's really changed. So everything that

(08:31):
happened happened for nothing, essentially no reason at all. M
just boiless. Yeah, it's a mystery. What do you mean,
it's a mystery? Hold on there, sher Lock, what whatever
do you mean? Election mean?

Speaker 3 (08:52):
I mean I keep yeah, I mean I keep hearing
these you know, these clips from CNN and MSNBC and
it's either the panel or it's the elected ofs and
they're like, you know, what changed between election day and now?
Like why would you you know, it's like get forty
days and fifteen votes so predicted, Like why would it
be like why now? I don't know. Maybe because the
election is over and they were using it as a

(09:13):
tool for Virginia, for New Jersey, for New York. Yeah,
well he gave them a talking point. Look, these snap benefits,
it's all because of Trump. You got to vote for us,
even though you're the ones not voting for it.

Speaker 1 (09:27):
And then over the weekend, dude, did watching them massage
the Katanji Brown decision. They had Every headline was like
Supreme Court justice says, the snap benefits are on hold,
And I'm like, where you have a picture of who
did that? I mean, do we have the name? Do
we know which Supreme Court justice? I mean, you have

(09:48):
a one to nine chance if you just magic eight
ball this thing. And then Trump's like, all right, we
have a judge's decision says around hold. They're like Trump
claws back snap benefits. It was like it was just
bonkers over the weekend, and it's like, wait a second,
so you don't want him listening to the judges. But
in reality, yeah, Ross is probably onto something. It's just

(10:10):
you know, a lot of people thought that because you
can't do it the day after the election, that'd be
two on the nose. But a lot of people predicted
that by the end of the week after the election,
this thing could suddenly be solved. That's so weird, so weird,

(10:30):
and so many people, by the way, are unhappy. I
have a lot more questions than answered.

Speaker 6 (10:34):
I don't know why Senate Democrats are going a lot.

Speaker 1 (10:37):
It's so hard for.

Speaker 7 (10:40):
A date promise in the future, and there looks like
they're settling for something that is six weeks down the line.

Speaker 1 (10:48):
I don't get it.

Speaker 8 (10:49):
I would say, it doesn't feel like a General Wan's agreement.
It feels like Lucy in the football, you know, like, oh, yeah,
we promised, this vote.

Speaker 1 (10:58):
Gone in good faith.

Speaker 9 (11:00):
Do a vote in the Senate. Nothing's gonna happen in
the House.

Speaker 6 (11:05):
So I like, even if John Thune is being above board,
said I'm gonna do.

Speaker 10 (11:08):
This for forty days, you shut the government down, and
now you're gonna open the government up.

Speaker 1 (11:12):
And what did you get in return? Nothing? Nothing.

Speaker 11 (11:15):
After the pain you inflicted, people were willing to take
the I took the union workers from Tessay. I said,
I'll take the pain and it's gonna help me to
get health.

Speaker 1 (11:23):
Insurance subs in the pain.

Speaker 12 (11:24):
So you're getting nothing in return.

Speaker 11 (11:25):
I don't know how, and you just want an election
on Tuesday.

Speaker 8 (11:29):
This is my question. What what explains the timing here, like.

Speaker 1 (11:32):
What what is it? You just won big blue wave?
Ros the big blue wave from Tuesday.

Speaker 3 (11:38):
Listen. So I was very quiet on this last week
because I was training Jade here in studio for when again.

Speaker 1 (11:42):
Ross looked like he was gonna use like a tea ken.

Speaker 3 (11:45):
Yeah, it's so weird, like like I wanted to be
near my board and I wanted to talk and I
was like yelling and stuff and it was shot. Probably
scared the hell out ofver. But anyway, I had opinions
on this last week after election on Tuesday, and I
didn't see the obvious answer everywhere You're like, oh, it's
blue wave. Oh it's a referendum. The Republicans are gone
and simple a matter of like what happened on Tuesday.

(12:07):
What happened on Tuesday is that a lot of people
didn't vote. And the reason a lot of people didn't
vote is you were one year out from a presidential election, right,
which pretty much took up the campaign leading up to that.
Let's be honest, was like a four year campaign, gone
from January sixth to you know, legal raids in mar
Lago and Millennia's panty drawer to lawsuits to all this stuff,

(12:33):
to assassinations, to the debate, to trying to install Kamala
Harris with no votes. People had election fatigue, and it
tends to happen the year after a presidential election. So
who went out and voted the blue people, the left
that was pissed off over what happened in twenty twenty four.
I did the math on this, just just to prove
my point. So in wait, let's just take where I'm from,

(12:55):
Wake Forest. Okay, okay, we had an election as many
people didn't Wake Forest. Do you have any idea how
many people voted for the mayor in wake Forest?

Speaker 1 (13:04):
How many? How many? How many people live in wake Forest?

Speaker 3 (13:07):
About sixty two thousand?

Speaker 1 (13:08):
Okay? Wait, hold we do reverse this, all right, So
sixty one thousand higher higher? Wait, higher, higher? No, you
said the number that voted lower lower lower? Yeah? Oh
thank god, I'm like, wow, that was really impressive turnout.
Fifty five thousand, No, no, a little lower, a little
forty five thousand, a bit lower. Oh, we're gonna go.

(13:30):
Let's go half thirty one thousand, oh no, no.

Speaker 3 (13:33):
No, oh jeez man, what a city of around sixty
two thousand?

Speaker 1 (13:38):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (13:39):
Seven thousand, round seven thousand plus seventy thousand.

Speaker 1 (13:42):
That's impressive. That's too many.

Speaker 3 (13:44):
Seventy seven thousand voted. Oh okay, now, how that is
like eleven you know percent plus eleven plus percent of
the population.

Speaker 1 (13:52):
It was actually a pretty good turnout for municipal and
some Yet.

Speaker 3 (13:54):
So let's compare that to the presidential election. One percentage
of the population Forest where I'm from, voted for in
the election in twenty twenty four. Oh that in just
a wake Forest, I don't know, forty five say, seventy
five percent?

Speaker 1 (14:08):
Oh wow, So you guys like to vote and stuff.
So what I'm saying is this isn't rocket science. You
don't have to think too deep about this. People were
tired of the election and they stayed home. The people
that voted were pissed off about the election and went off.
We tend to see that in the midterms, right, That's
what happened. People didn't go out and vote. It wasn't

(14:28):
even less than a mid term. Yeah right, yeah, completely,
because you're a year out from really what felt like
for me anyway, The longest presidential campaign in history started
after January sixth, That's when the Trump campaign really started
and don't you mean the most important Yeah, yeah, yeah right,
And it went on forever, yeah, forever, all the stuff

(14:50):
that happened.

Speaker 3 (14:50):
People were tired, people stayed home. You're gonna see an
uptick in the mid terms. I don't know how it's
gonna turn out, but you're gonna see a bigger, higher
turnout than that. And for everybody on the left and
all the pundits and even my friends who are blue
who were like, oh, this is like a big you know,
this is a bell weather of where the country is. No,
it isn't. People were tired and they stayed home.

Speaker 1 (15:10):
Stop it, right, And it's also the whole stat where
you had what twenty six races Republicans won one. Yeah,
it's just like, look at the people of Raleigh have spoken,
and I'm like, the people of Raleigh have moved in. Yes,
and the demographic has changed so aggressively over fifteen years
that I don't expect Republicans to win anymore, not on

(15:30):
the end, not on the internal side of that. But no,
you're right, it was it was a referendum. I saw
people using network no it isn't. No, all right, and
we got more dumb audio. We got more dumb stories.
We have more dumb everything, because you know that's how
we roll. And we'll get into all of it as
Monday rolls along phone number eight eight eight nine three

(15:50):
four seven eight seven four. Schumer's big mad, But Schumer
is the one who organized this, I promise you. All right,
that's my theory. We'll get into more coming up. Casey
O Day Radio program to open the show with a
quick birthday announcement, and I forgot, and some of the
listeners have called me out, so I apologize for that.

(16:12):
Just you know, it was really I was reading so
much of the hey let's get the government open stuff
this morning my brain went, there's real quick Happy birthday
today to Tracy Morgan Ross. I like Tracy. You like
Tracy Morgan.

Speaker 3 (16:34):
So funny? Oh yeah, yeah, yeah yeah, especially after that
tragic art car accident and he's been able to bounce back.

Speaker 1 (16:39):
You know, what do you get whacked by like a
Walmart semi or something?

Speaker 3 (16:42):
Yeah, I mean it was really bad.

Speaker 1 (16:44):
I can't believe Walmart would do that to him anyway,
So happy birthday, Tracy Morgan. Oh I'm sorry, wait, hold on, wait,
there's other hole. I have a list here there's other
bird also. Oh that's uh, you know who else? Sinbad
Sinbad Tracy growing up.

Speaker 3 (17:01):
I love that movie Shazam he was in where he
was the genie.

Speaker 1 (17:07):
I don't think he was ever attacked by a Walmart
Semi either, so that's good for him. Oh, look at
this Happy birthday Miranda Lambert like country music. There you go,
I do. Yeah. Oh and Martin Luther, Oh, the old
g Martin Luther, the not the newer one. Yeah. A
lot of birthdays today, Eric so oh Walter Goggins, he's

fat man. If you haven't seen it's great.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
It was the number five streaming movie in the US
on HBO act I think this weekend.

Speaker 3 (17:44):

Walter Goggins, Walton Waltons a big.

Speaker 1 (17:51):

Speaker 3 (17:53):
Yeah yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:55):
And then there's somebody from Downton Abbey. I don't know
who that is, so but anyway, all right, I guess
we got that covered. So let's see here a few
other things. As uh see you send me emails, this
is what you get. Um, all right, that's sorry. My

(18:15):

I think we have success. All right, So the elephant
in the room story wise, if I missed any birthdays,
you're more than welcome to let me know. Eight eight
eight nine three four seven eight seven four I sud
choke yourself, Colleen forward and choke yourself. Oh why what

(18:36):
did I tell you?

Speaker 3 (18:37):
Slipped?

Speaker 1 (18:38):
Okay, all right, I do you mean to play that? Yeah? No,
I understand. So at least all these things go all right.
Some more of the panic attack over on MSNBC and CNN,
as well as the halls of Congress. Yeah, let's uh,
let's go back to MSNBC. This panel having an absolute
freak out.

Speaker 7 (18:58):
It's strange Dean to go back to the original sort
of part of this conversation of whether he is a
good deal maker. I mean, in a way, it seems
like the president is kind of getting what he wanted.
Forty days ago, when all this started, he was out
there saying that, oh, this is all about Democrats trying
to give health care to a legal immigrants. He just
said that to reporters moments ago, repeated that refrain the

(19:18):
Democrats had actually very successfully pushed back against. Then there's
all this energy. In the wake of the election. On Tuesday,
the President made remarks saying basically, wow, Republicans are being
harmed by all of this, acknowledging that he was on
his back foot and now here he is winning again.

Speaker 9 (19:35):
How did he do it?

Speaker 1 (19:37):
I don't know how has he done it? Literally, like
every minute in your brain since you know, nine years,
ten years ago.

Speaker 3 (19:43):
And let's be honest, they were never on their back
heel or whatever. It was just the media was carrying
water for them and trying to frame it that way.

Speaker 1 (19:50):
Well, especially when you go, oh, well they successfully rebuke that,
and I'm like, no, they literally blew up a picture
of the two sentence language early showed that there were
monies in the offset for emergency room usage that was
going to illegal immigrants, and then you and the media
just went, now, you literally did the these are not

(20:10):
the droids you're looking for, And you think that worked,
but it didn't because people went, well, hold on, it
says this thing right here, what the heck's going on?
All right, but it gets worse.

Speaker 8 (20:21):
Why now would Democrats in the Senate decide to lay
down their arms, you know, potentially end this shutdown when
the terms that are being offered by Republicans don't seem
to have changed.

Speaker 13 (20:38):
I can't explain it, because, to be frank to me.

Speaker 3 (20:42):
It makes absolutely no sense.

Speaker 5 (20:44):
I am completely perplexed.

Speaker 13 (20:47):
Sorry, today's developments are really the developments of the last
few hours. On Tuesday, we essentially had the proof that
the American people overwhelmingly were on the Democrats side of
this argument. Polls have been showing for weeks, over a month,
that a pretty large number of Americans were with us,

(21:09):
but people always question we're here. We had on Tuesday
the ultimate poll, and Democrats won everywhere. I mean, I'll
take Pennsylvania for example. Every competitive race or race that
thought was going to be competitive, we won by double digits.
We won in Clearfield County, a place that had not

(21:30):
elected a Democrat in over a decade and that Donald
Trump had carried by more than fifty points. That's how
sweeping the victory was on Tuesday. So it's pretty clear that,
you know, we went to the polls, the American people
understood that Republicans were making their costs go up, that
Democrats were fighting to bring costs down and fight to

(21:52):
save the healthcare of the American people, And.

Speaker 1 (21:56):
Now all of a sudden.

Speaker 13 (22:00):
Democratic side, or at least enough Democrats in the Senate
that are essentially caving again.

Speaker 1 (22:06):
It just makes no sense to it. Yeah, no, he
just prone thoughts in prayer, Scotch. So wait a second.
So under that logic, then you should have been a
very vocal opponent of the nine thousand injunctions against anything
Trump wanted to do over the last year, right, because

(22:27):
it was the ultimate poll people spoke r Here's Chuck Schumer.

Speaker 11 (22:34):
Demanded for months to meet with the Republican leadership, but
Republican leaders refused to even discuss the issue, let alone
negotiate it. We've asked him to meet in the summer
and threw out the shutdown. To this day, Republicans still
say no, we asked President Trump to step in and
meet with us to deliver lower health care for Americans,

(22:54):
and instead Donald Trump has taken the American people hostage,
from cutting off food eight to hungry families and vets
and seniors and kids, to manufacturing flight cancelations to cutting
off home heating aid while he builds a billion dollar
ballroom with gold plated toilets. Therefore, therefore I must vote no.

Speaker 1 (23:20):
By the way, is the ballroom a billion dollars? Now?
I remember it was two fifty and then like it's
going to be three and it's government, so I expect
it'll probably be five. But it's not a billion. Are
they gonna have gold crappers? That's amazing. That is so weird.
There was another over the weekend too. Schumer was saying
something and Ohio Senator Moreno is Bernie Morino or whatever

(23:45):
his name is. He literally just asked Chuck, hey, is
it in writing so he can look at it? And
Chuck got snotty and like walked out of the Senate chamber.

Speaker 3 (23:53):
Dude, he's just terrified of AOC.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
Yeah, well, look if you don't think they sat in
a room yesterday with the UH because remember ten to
twelve senators who were not a yes vote, who were Democrats,
were part of trying to put together this version to
get things open, but only the exact number because they
sat there and they essentially drew straws. They decided who

(24:20):
are going to be the safest senators. Note where these
senators come from. They come from purplish purplish swing states,
or more specifically, they come from those impacted the most
by the shutdown.

Speaker 6 (24:36):
I e.

Speaker 1 (24:37):
Virginia. So no, I'm not shocked at all. But look,
this will be They're going to sit here and they're
going to have a narrative today and I can't decide
whether it's going to be Trump was willing to murder people,
we had to do something, or Democrats are leading the
way and getting the government reopen. And that's how CNN

(24:57):
and MSNBC are going to play it. And it'll be
frustrating as you sit there and you look at it,
but that's that's how it's going to go. We're psychic,
we know.

Speaker 3 (25:10):
Yeah, No, I was thinking about that this morning at
the gym. I'm like, they're going to spin it. They're
going to say, you know, after fifteen votes and forty days,
the Democrats finally, you know, had enough empathy to realize
Trump was not ever going to negotiate over the healthcare
of American citizens. But they're not because they're legals, and
they finally gave in even though they knew it was
the wrong thing, just so people could have their snap
benefits pretty much.

Speaker 1 (25:31):
Yeah, yeah, that's how it'll go. And and the air
and the airline thing.

Speaker 3 (25:36):
The Schumer thing reminds me of a toddler. Like he's
standing up there and like, we negotiate it and they
said no, and we said we want this and they
said no. And it's like it's like a kid, like
I want the cookie. No, what do I need to
do to get this cookie? You're not getting the cookie? Now, listen,
I'm willing to negotiate. No, what do know? And like eventually,
like the kid finally realized. Eventually, right, if you pull

(25:58):
the Sydney Swing and you just look at him and
say no, they're going to finally realize that they're not
getting the cookie.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
And it's to be fair, they're sitting there and they're
figuring out how to stack the spring courts so they
get endless cookies.

Speaker 3 (26:07):
So like, well you could say, like even Trump saying,
you know, Trump threatening to end the filibuster and Trump saying, hey,
I'm going to give the people back some of their
money y the tariffs. There was all part of a
negotiation strategy for the Dems to finally cave.

Speaker 1 (26:20):
Oh yeah, thousand I less on the first one. But
when I saw the two thousand dollars and I'm like,
that's one hundred percent what's going on there. And it's
funny because it's literally how they win elections, right, that's
a that's what mndami just did. He's just like, all right,
how about all this free stuff? Like, oh, yeah, that
sounds good. Yeah.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
And the way he framed it lake for everybody but
rich people.

Speaker 1 (26:43):
Yeah, which what does that mean?

Speaker 3 (26:45):
By the way, it means I would get a stimulus
check and you would not, Well, hold on.

Speaker 1 (26:50):
I don't know that that's either true nor fair. Really,
I mean, why shouldn't I get one? Hold on?

Speaker 10 (27:00):
No?

Speaker 1 (27:00):
But again, yeah, yeah, because that's a tangible thing. People
are looking at two thousand dollars and they're like yeah,
and don't you don't get me wrong, A bunch people
would spend it on horrible things they don't need, but
two thousand dollars. Two thousand dollars. So I saw that, Yeah,
same thing. I'm like, ah, they're all medicine. I don't

(27:22):
know that it's a good idea, but I mean, because
I thought the point of the anything we benefited from
from a tariff perspective was to pay down the debt,
which I think a lot of people, at least responsible
people probably would agree with, like because we have that
hanging over us. But regardless, we'll see and this thing

(27:43):
should be pretty short order. So a couple other things
we got to get into. So the Blaze finally did
release their full story and named the person they thought
was responsible. They thinkers Response punsible for the the two
pipe bombs there on January sixth. And if it's true,

(28:07):
it is a crazy story. If it's not true. If
it's not true, Glenn Beck may get Alex Jones. Man.
I mean, there's a lot at stake here, So we'll
get we'll give you the details with that. Plus we
got crazy Hollywood news, just a bunch of stuff to
get into. Oh and more gambling stuff all coming up

(28:28):
six forty seven. Hang on. So look, this is this
is crazy in all of the possibilities that you can
try to think of. So and we talked on Friday.
We mentioned this when we were chatting with Pete Callender.
So up till that point, one of the reporters for
The Blaze I had was essentially teasing that they think

(28:53):
they figured out who put the pipe bombs outside of
the DNC RNC and they were able to use like
Gate analysis, So like the way somebody walks as a
big piece of evidence, I mean that they claim that
it's a ninety match. There's a lot of other like

(29:17):
ancillary things, like some of the investigative stuff actually tracked
back to near where this woman lived, and it's it's
a crazy story. So but over the week, at the
end of the day Friday, they published and in the
publication they named who they think put those pipe bombs

(29:38):
out on January sixth, and the person they named is
a former US Capitol Police officer. Kirkoff is the name
that they is that they used, all right, Shannie, Shannie Kirkhoff.
And at that point this thing became huge. It became huge,

(30:00):
huge for all of the possibilities, right, and one of
the possibilities is they got this wrong. Gate analysis is
not one hundred percent. I don't know the totality of
the conversations and the things you know from a background
perspective that they have. But if they're wrong, I don't

(30:22):
know that the blaze could survive a lawsuit just with
the willingness because remember, depending on where you're operating, And
would it be out of Texas? Would it be out
of DC because that's where this woman lives. I don't know,
but you saw what they did with Alex Jones, right
this you know, billion dollar plus judgment, right, and they

(30:44):
essentially cooked his network. So that's a huge thing. You
got to understand that Glen Beck owns all of his
own stuff, So for him to on his outlet, for
them to publish it, they're putting themselves out there. Glenn
Beck has. One of the things that has always been

(31:04):
different about Beck is he owns all his own stuff.
I'm not going to get into how that impacts his radio,
but it's different, right, So you better be right. But
let's say that he is right, that the reporting is correct.
You have a former US Capitol Police officer who may

(31:28):
have done that, which then opens the questions did they
do it on their own as a lark? Right? Did
they do it in an organized manner? Does it speak
to the possibility that some of the stuff you saw
with January sixth and the quote unquote three hundred agents
that were around there that was part of something larger?

Speaker 12 (31:47):
Was this?

Speaker 1 (31:49):
And by the way, people are going to ask this
questions or these questions because they've seen everything else that
the government apparatus has been willing to do to get Trump,
and so it enters the world of plausible. So where
do we go from here? Well, clearly they're gonna have

(32:09):
to get you know, look at the government reopened. But
I mean, do you have hearings? Do they sit on
and ignore it? And then you got to ask yourself, uh,
do they you know, do these people have bribe you know,
blackmail information on members of Congress, which is why they
won't touch it, or maybe they will touch it, like

(32:30):
the possibilities are endless. Here a CaCO Day Radio program.
Glad to have you along once again because the first
email I got this morning is say, hey, why aren't
you wishing happy birthday? It's birthday? Today's birthday And I
didn't know what I sided to go look it up.
It's uh and I'm sorry. Happy birthday, Tracy Morgan, Happy birthday, Sinbad.

(32:53):
So I hope that's what you were looking for, sir,
because if not, Ross has some harsh work. Joke yourself,
Colleen forward and choke yourself. So I don't know what
that's about, but whatever, So you know, happy, happy, birthday,
Felice Coompiano saw all that good stuff. So all right,
so let's see here. Oh dude, here's the thing. There

(33:18):
are some crazy, crazy stories that broke right at the
end of the week last week about massive fraud. And
I was shocked to learn one of the one of
the big ones is in Minneapolis, and it has to
do with some of these charities that have fixed themselves
among the Somali community there. And let me tell you,
when I was in Minnesota, and I have mentioned this before,

(33:40):
like this stuff was going on, Like everybody knew this
stuff was going on. We'd whine on the radio about
it all the time. Nobody wanted to do anything. And
you had all sorts of scandals. You had what may
have enraptured elon Omar, where you had people lying about
out family units and marriage and all that for the

(34:03):
purpose of emigrating from Somalia. Huge deal, and it would
and by the way, people like well, you know, they
did whatever they had to do to get here. You
have to understand that you had family units coming over, mom, dad,
a couple kids, and then they get here and then
mom and dad who weren't mom and dad would just
abandon these kids who were essentially orphans from Somalia who

(34:24):
were used to emigrate to the US. So there were
real victims here. You had these nonprofits that clearly weren't
serving people. And now you have these restaurants in Minnesota
who were accused of fraud saying that they were feeding
like forty thousand kids and they got twelve million dollars

(34:45):
in grants and the FBI investigating and they were feeding
twenty eight kids or forty kids. And even though everyone
knew that there were problems there, Tim Walls and Mark Dayton,
who's his predecessor, the Democrats up there didn't want to
do anything about it because this was a constituency and

(35:06):
it was huge, and it was rampant. And let me
tell you, when you dig into it on the radio
in Minnesota, you would get threatened. I know, I know
your shocked to Leary. And also I don't know if
you're following what's going on up there. They're trying to
figure out why the Somali mayoral candidate didn't win, and
they're having to try to groom and I'm not making

(35:28):
this up. Tribal warfare, tribal disagreements, because not all Somalis
like all the other Somalis clearly because you know, Somalia's
a war torn hellhole, and so because he was from
one clan or tribe, then the other tribes didn't want
to support him. And it's like, how are we in

(35:49):
American elections trying to handicap it using tribal stuff.

Speaker 3 (35:54):
It's crazy because on one side, right, the normal side, Yeah,
we're like, I don't know, maybe when you move here,
you should try to assimilate a little bit. You know,
every generation has done it right things. Yeah, yeah, And
then in Minnesota they're like, no, you need to decide
our blood feud.

Speaker 1 (36:07):
Yeah, our tribal blood feud. What Yeah, And this is
again America is now getting a taste of it. I
swam in this for years and just it was crazy,
but it's it's clearly got a lot more crazy. And
then you had all these medicaid medicare frauds or medicaid
fraud primarily, and they had a bunch of companies that

(36:30):
they busted a lot of them in Minnesota within the
Somali community, also not within the Somali community in Alaska, California, Like,
all this stuff's coming out, but here's the thing. If
you're going to formulate a fake company to commit fraud
and you're gonna name it something, you're gonna get cute
with the naming. It's just gonna amplify the amount of

(36:53):
coverage you get. Right, I'll give you an example when
they were busting companies or fake companies that were committing
COVID fraud, right, the PP whatever fraud. Remember, they busted
a series of companies here in North Carolina where the
guy had named it after a Game of Thrones characters. Right,
So when it ended up getting busted, that story, even

(37:16):
though there was a bunch getting busted, it got national
prominence just for the sheer stupidity of it. So case
in point, one of the companies they busted for Medicaid
fraud is named the Knights of knee LLLC. Bro, you're
going national the Knights of knee LLLCED.

Speaker 3 (37:39):
They do an amazing where he got an amazing shrubbery
from them with.

Speaker 1 (37:42):
The problems they were building the government for ten shrubs
and you were only getting one.

Speaker 3 (37:46):
Is to say, if I could just make when I
went there, they maybe paid them in a herring. It
was super weird.

Speaker 1 (37:52):
Well, yeah, I mean, nothing's adding up here. Yeah, basically
they were a fake care coordinator. There's so many there's
so many middleman in the healthcare system. It's just bonkers.
So yeah, people are gonna slide in there and they're
gonna take advantage. But this, uh, this is this guy's name,
Ryan Carroll, who is the owner, named it the Knights

(38:12):
of Knee LLC. Huge money Python fan, which, by the way,
if you're going to do a healthcare related Monty Python company,
there are other options, right, wouldn't You could go Black
Night LLC? Because that dude needed clearly he needed a

(38:33):
minute clinic or something. Not to mention the guy who
was turned into a new going to the doctor right away.
Never mind that you know, cured itself. But still, but yeah,
Knights of Knee LLC. So yeah, not only are you
probably committing fraud, now I get to talk about it.

(38:54):
Even though there's a bunch of these you singled yourself out,
So congratulations on that, all right? Eight eight eight nine
three four seven eight seven four. You want to be
on the show, that's how you get to make that happen.
Let me do this. So the sports gambling insanity, so

(39:16):
you had, of course you had basketball players, some current
some former coach. There was discussion of an NFL player
maybe being in there. And now you have this and
and by the way, it's very interesting how these things
are coming to light because you have legalized sports gambling.
These companies, you know, the Draft Kings, the Pens, the

(39:40):
ESPN bat all of them, they have the statistics to
see where the abnormal abnormalities are. Right, So when you
were when you were just betting with your you know,
your local bookie, they really didn't have the resources maybe
nationally to run these numbers. Now they can, and so
if they see something in the same way that Vegas

(40:02):
tracks things, right, oh, you know, these camera systems are
very very very good. Like they can track your betting patterns,
the amount of money and if there's abnormalities there, why
can I not say that word this, If things are weird,
then they can go ahead and kind of hone in
and see what's going on. And like, if you've ever
watched any behind the scenes how they track and watch it,

(40:25):
it's very sophisticated. So now you have all of this betting.
So if everybody's betting in this weird way and they're winning,
it's going to raise flags, and that's what happened again.
Two players for the Cleveland Indians, excuse me, Cleveland Guardians,
pitchers of Annual Clace and Luis Ortiz, have now been

(40:46):
arrested and charged with fraud, conspiracy, and bribery. And listen
how dumb this is. So in this case, they would
pitch and you could bet on how many balls they
were going to throw. And so they were intentionally throwing
balls or they are intentionally walking somebody so very I

(41:10):
don't want to say minor things because clearly it impacts
a lot. But then people could bet on that they
can make prop bets, throw specific pitches for balls. I mean,
this is how drilled down you can get on betting
with a lot of these. According to some statistics, they
noticed a they noticed an oddity. Till I learned how

(41:31):
to say that word, we'll go with oddity. And that
was directly related to in one instance, four hundred and
fifty thousand dollars in wagering just on pitches. And it's
the same thing. How is it you make the money
that you make because I don't know what their cut

(41:52):
of that is. Under the allegations here and again they're
not proving guilty, but they're facing prison time. Man, And
these guys are making a crap ton of money. One
of the basketball players was making He's set to make
twenty seven million dollars and he took a two hundred
thousand dollars payment according to the FBI. Place is a

(42:12):
three time All Star Reliever of the Year. Like, this
guy's no joke. He's making he's making change, like he's
making a lot of money. But they notice this irregular
betting pattern, and then they just tell the FBI because
again they're the victims here too. As much as people
are wanting to trash on the betting companies, in reality

(42:35):
they're kind of I know this sounds crazy, but if
not for their existence, a lot of this may not
have ended up on the radar. So then the question becomes,
all right, so we got basketball, now we got baseball.
They've said that there there is a football angle, although
I haven't seen that yet. Right, that's that seems to
be really like what isn't fixed? Because let me tell you,

(42:59):
anyone to watch his NFL has a lot of questions
and understandably so. And then when you get into the
college realm, we've had college betting scandals. We've had point
shaving scandals, bet all sorts of scandals, and there's just
so much there that you don't have to you know,
you don't have to fix a pro sporting event or
do something. You can be a guy for a D

(43:20):
two team who decides you're gonna tank it for you know,
a wager, and you're you know, you're some college that
most people have never heard of, and you go ahead
and do that, but to throw it all away so
you can throw a few extra balls and according in
a statement, Major League Baseball said that MLB contacted federal

(43:42):
law enforcement at the outset of its investigation because what's
happening is they're telling they're telling the sports too, so
the betting, the betting sites will tell the sports, and
then you know, sports are supposed to do something. That's
actually how the NBA thing kind of started. And then
the NBA did an investigation and said not everything's fine,
but the FBI I was doing one, and clearly the
FBI didn't feel everything was fine. They said, MLB contacted

(44:06):
federal law enforcement at the outset of the investigation, is
fully cooperated and are aware of the indictment. That's basically
all they're going to say.

Speaker 12 (44:14):
There.

Speaker 1 (44:15):
You know, really the biggest betting scandal up until this
point for Major League was Pete Rose because they have
very very strict you can't gamble. You remember Rose, This
thing was he did gamble, but he never gambled on
his team to lose, which is not an excuse. I mean,
they'll cook you from a baseball standpoint, So yeah, I

(44:40):
mean the jail time here listed twenty years. They're facing
twenty and thirty years respectively. It is no joke, man,
all right, So that just continues to get worse and worse.
And I think that I think you're going to see
a bunch of this come to like because now you've
got a period where it's been exposed or it's easier
to expose, yes, and maybe that keeps people from doing it.

(45:04):
It's much easier to get caught. But like now you're
going to be we're in the finding out stage of
the last you know, ten years or whatever they think
they can prove. And how many different things have you
witnessed from a sporting standpoint over the last ten years.
We're like, wow, dude, this thing's so rigged. I might
have screamed at the TV several times during football yesterday.

(45:25):
That very statement. Very interesting play calling in the vikings.
That's all I'm saying anyway, seven nineteen hang on phone
number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight seven four.
Let me grab a call on the sports insanity here, Yeah, George, what's.

Speaker 9 (45:44):
Up, hey, Casey? The if you notice, it's not just
the it's the I believe it's the companies also that
are that are doing this as well, because if you
look at the point spread, you'll always get bad calls
from referees depending on which team was supposed to cover

(46:07):
the spread. So I think there's corruption when when you
know you're talking about billions and billions of dollars something
to sports gambling. You can't tell me that the that
the referees are not corruptible, not saying that they.

Speaker 1 (46:20):
All anyone's corrupt. You know, there's only the one guy
who I haven't seen anything to demonstrate that the companies are,
necessarily and I think they have. I think the companies
mathematically will do just fine without having to Uh.

Speaker 9 (46:37):
They live, they live on the juice of that spread,
you know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (46:41):
They make their money really on this right. But they
can adjust the spread too. So if you're if you're
DraftKings right and the spreads at six and a half,
like the uh, let's say the Colts game was, which
I almost took, thankfully I didn't, and you get you
get a lot of it the other way you can
you can run that thing up to seven and a
half and now you now you're greasing on both sides

(47:01):
of it. So that's true. I mean, you know, I
just think, yeah, no, no, I agree that, like the
there's it's a mess and there's a bunch that's gonna
come out. But if you're a license sports betting company,
you don't have to do anything illegal to make money
because you can already you can adjust everything. That's all

(47:26):
I'm saying. And you know, why would you screw that up?

Speaker 12 (47:29):
Now?

Speaker 1 (47:29):
Who knows, Maybe I'll be proven wrong someday, but like,
it's a lot harder. I think it's a lot harder.
And and the amount of oversight that they have is
really significant.

Speaker 3 (47:39):
I've been voting for months on like these these websites
about how often the comrax here is going to break
the poly market. Yeah, and I made bank yeah to
be fair at the safe at some point.

Speaker 1 (47:53):
Yeah. Oh, by the way, correct, because Glenn sold the Blaze.
Glenn Beck did not sell the blame. I just made.

Speaker 3 (48:00):
I just made so much money he'd.

Speaker 1 (48:02):
But he didn't. So so this is not This is
in no way, shape or form trashing on somebody who's
got to go file into the uh, you know, the
the nine to five, the minimum wage, the uh, the
starter jot whatever it is, Okay, because I would, I'd

(48:23):
probably end up punching somebody at some point. It would
not go well for me. And I have worked in
customer facing, but I was much younger, so maybe I've
aged out of it. That being said, I saw this
story about Target yesterday. Are you guys trying to not
get people in the store? What's going on with this?

(48:43):
Target has mandated employees now smile and make small talk
in bid to lift holiday sales.

Speaker 3 (48:52):
No, that's absolutely insane.

Speaker 1 (48:55):
No, And it's not that I it's not that I
dislike you. I just I don't want to make small
talk with you.

Speaker 3 (49:01):
No, I don't want you, le milone unless I need something.
But also listen, if I'm walking around a store like
a Target or a Walmart or somewhere right, I expect you,
because I'm a person who has gone through that life
experience and I've been there. Like when I worked at
the Disney store. I got to let go after like,
you know, six or seven months because somebody from corporate
came down and they decided that I wasn't smiling enough. Yeah,

(49:23):
and they decided that my sense of humor was quote
too dark, right, And they showed me like, you need
to walk around the store like this, and you know,
stand up and big old smile and I'm like that,
you look fake as all hell. I can't do that,
and they let me go.

Speaker 1 (49:37):
So and you know, I never smile. Never.

Speaker 3 (49:39):
Oh now, I've known you, what fifteen years, I've never
seen you smile. How many times have we taken company
photos and they're like freaking out not down that, No,
that's weird. So if I'm walking around the Target and
I see somebody with a big old smile, I'm going
to think there's something weird with you. I expect you
to look miserable and like you hate your life. And
when I see that, I can relate to that and

(50:00):
understand that. And it's holidays in retail, Yes, like that
is what I expect. But if you've got a big
old smile in your face and you're walking up to
me talking to me about whatever. I'm going to be like,
this is a weirdo, what is wrong with you? Get
away from me. But if you're walking around looking like
a mope, I'm gonna understand. Especially listen, you don't eat
a smile, you and I don't expect it. You just

(50:23):
need to do your job. Yeah, just be competent and
do your job and help me be polite.

Speaker 1 (50:28):
And I will always be polite too. I just want
to be I want to be clear. I have a
real problem with people who treat retail or service workers
like crap, like a real problem.

Speaker 3 (50:41):
Yeah, show them respect because it's a job. And you know,
if they're doing a great job, you know, give them
compensation for that. But no, just do your job. You
don't need a smile.

Speaker 1 (50:50):
I chewed out. I chewed out a restaurant manager one time.
You know, I like to sit at the bar. I'll
eat up at the bar because you know, I'm generally
eating with myself, which is amazing by it. It's ah,
there's something so relaxing about it. And I saw that
this restaurant manager at a very nice restaurant in Raleigh
which will remain nameless, was berating the bar staff for like,

(51:15):
you know, some like some stuff, and I just like
when he came walking by, he said, look, don't you
don't do that in front of the customers. Don't do
that in front of me. You stopping, you're you're you're
making service law and he got the guy was like
the look he gave me was crazy, and I'm just like,
this is not the place for it, Like, you're bumming
me out, dude. I And you know, maybe he's right.
Whatever the beef was, I don't even know what the

(51:36):
beef was, but you don't berate your staff in front
of there, Like So I'm not on the Bemean train.
But yeah, to Ross's point, I would assume you're from
that horror movie Smile and uh the frost did you
see Smile? By the way, that's the level if you
if if you got a fake smile, That's what I'm
thinking's going on. So uh, anyway, yeah, so target Tart's

(52:00):
going to do that. Now, here's the deal. Now, if
you're in customer service and you see a customer who
looks frustrated or confused, and you can pick up on
that and roll up. That's perfect, right, that's what you're
looking for. But for the most part, if I'm actively
grabbing stuff, I'm good. I know what I'm here for,
and between you and me, I want in and out
of there as quickly as possible. That's how I shop

(52:24):
in out. And you know, I'm like the Equalizer with
his watch running. I just want this thing done as
quickly as possible. Major retailers like wal Mart and Disney
have long used similar customer greeting unit see yeah, that
requires employees to smile, make eye contact, and offer assistance
when guests come within a certain distance. So here's what

(52:46):
the target says they're going to do. The Minneapolis based
retailer issued a directive mandating in store workers smile and
make eye contact and either greet or wave to any
shopper that comes within ten feet. If a customer steps
within four feet, the service rep is instructed to ask

(53:06):
if they need help or how their day is going.
Knowing this, if I see a worker within ten feet
of something I want, I will go get something else
and come back. That's how much I want to avoid it.
And by the way, there's a lot of people where
making eye contact is not something that they're very good
at or they want to do for a wide variety

(53:29):
of reasons. But they're also probably pretty good at their
job of keeping the shelves stocked, answering questions when necessary,
and just you know, keeping the store clean and you know,
where somebody wants to shop. The initiative, known as the
ten to four program, is the latest effort by management
to improve customer experience, and they nearly two thousand target

(53:52):
locations nationwide.

Speaker 3 (53:54):
All right, so there's a guy right that we do
the target pickup and typically they're younger kid, it's you know,
you know, mid twenties or younger. To me, that's the kid.
And there's this older guy and he's my favorite guy.
And the guy has to be I don't know, late forties,
early fifties, Like he looks like one of these guys
doesn't belong right, and he always comes out. Mark, he
just said this. A few weeks ago. He came and

(54:17):
he came out and he put the stuff in and Mark,
he's like, what's wrong with that guy? And he said,
I said, he's probably tired because he's in his early
fifties and he doesn't want to be working at Target
on a weekend at eight am or whatever it is.
He's probably tired, right, But here's the thing. I love
the dude because he always gets everything right. That's why
he's never been anything missing. And it is definitely an

(54:38):
age and generational thing. He's doing a job, he's doing
a great job. He's very confident at his job. Does
he want to be there forever? Probably not. And he's
tired because he's in his early fifties, so he's not
going to be giving you a smile from ear to ear,
which is fine.

Speaker 1 (54:56):
Trying to figure out what Disney they have some of
the other ones in here, so it's basically copied off Disney.
Is this what they told you when you worked to Disney?
If somebody comes with in proximity, you have to talk
to them, yes, oh.

Speaker 3 (55:08):
Yeah, and you had to have a big smile all
the time, stand straight. And I hated it. I just
had I did not last Yeah, So.

Speaker 1 (55:17):
Uh, I like, honestly, this could Now here's the deal.
Once we get probably about another week, there's no way,
shape or form, I will go to a mall. Never
did this this time of the year. I don't I
don't care if they're like, you just want a free mall,
you should go to the mall. And I go to
the mall.

Speaker 3 (55:36):
I love the old videos and I post them every
now and again in social media. And you know the
old videos I'm talking about where they.

Speaker 1 (55:40):
Yeah, the nostalgic eighties what malls were. Yeah, it's just
like a standing you know, camera at the mall and
like nineteen eighty eight and people passing by it, and
it's the music and you see everything in like letters
and everything, and it's the vibe of the eighties and
people watch it and they go, oh, it's amazing, and
I miss that it is. But it also sucked right right.

Speaker 3 (55:59):
Well, not when you were a kid, No, when you're
a kid, it's different, but as an adult, like going
there and shopping and walking around and sweating profusely and
being nasty and trying.

Speaker 1 (56:06):
To slip parking. I ran to murder after the parking situation.

Speaker 3 (56:10):
Remember the Twelve Panes of Christmas. That was one of them.
Like finding a parking space at the mall, right, like
finding a parking space.

Speaker 1 (56:16):
Oh, it's so I remember I had to go to
Crabtree for something. One I want to say, it was
in December. But I there was a clothing store over
there and I had ordered something and it finally came
in and I had to go because they were gonna
size the pants properly. Yes, I own a couple of
nice pieces of clothing. I had to go in there,

(56:37):
and uh, like, I like the guys that work in
that store. I could have murdered everybody. And I ended
up having to park to go to Crabtree at that
dirt parking lot. I guess people and Raleigh will know.
That's across the road on south of Crabtree, by where
that BP station is. There's like that dirt parking for
the trail there. I had to park there and then

(56:58):
and then walk my bike and I think it had
snow too. Oh just awful. So yeah, look, I feel
for the Target employees, but I don't want any of this. Nope, nope, nope, nope.
All right, is Jeff Barr ready to go?

Speaker 9 (57:12):
Hi? Am?

Speaker 1 (57:12):
We're being the Christmas Brench officially. How are you doing
this morning?

Speaker 6 (57:16):
Why feels almost side Christmas weatherwise, isn't it?

Speaker 12 (57:18):
So?

Speaker 1 (57:18):
Now, if you go to Target and you get within
four feet of a person who works there, they have
to come talk to you and make small talk. Oh really, Yeah,
I'm not real pumped about that because I'm like, I
just want to get in and get out, man.

Speaker 6 (57:29):
Yeah, exactly, that's that's my definitely my strategy when I
do shopping, and I.

Speaker 1 (57:33):
Feel bad for them because the last thing they want
to do is talk to a bunch of people during
retail holiday season. Exactly. They're overworked enough, all right. So
we're gonna get some Christmas e weather.

Speaker 6 (57:41):
Though, Yeah, definitely, cold front ushering in some gusty winds
out of the west today at times near twenty or
twenty five miles per hour. So if you're going to
be heading out, even though we'll see some sunshine, it's
gonna be a cold day. A high fifty two of
windshiels down in the forties to this afternoon that are
disturbance slides by tonight may produce a little bit of
light snore, a few flurries, but we're not expecting any
mulation as that moves through overnight, the load dipping down

(58:03):
twenty eight degrees, wind chills in the upper teams to
low twenties. We'll have a hard freeze warning in effect overnight,
and then tomorrow's sunny and windy for Veterans Day into
the upper forties. We dropped a thirty five with the
clear sky tomorrow night, and the milder temperature is Wednesday
and Thursday with sunshine and low sixties, mid sixties under
a Sunday sky by Friday.

Speaker 1 (58:19):
All right, here's what week, Jeff. Here's what we don't
do though. We cannot make parts of our listening area
look like it snowed because there was so much hail,
which yeah, oh crap over the weekend down in Johnston County.
Good lord, yeah that's in November. A really weird thing, right.

Speaker 3 (58:38):
Yeah, yeah.

Speaker 6 (58:39):
You can you get strong enough up drafts. You certainly
can get some hail this time of year when fronts
moved through, and boy that was a potent front. So yeah,
a lot of cold air and surging down out of Canada.
We got freeze warnings all the way down at Central Florida.

Speaker 1 (58:51):
Oh okay, all right, Well, I actually like when it
snows in Florida, watching them with their one snowplow. The
videos are amazing.

Speaker 6 (58:57):
So you know, down there you got to worry about
the falling iguanas when he gets too cold.

Speaker 1 (59:00):
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, just everything wants to kill you.
All right, thank you, Jeff, appreciate it. There you go,
Jeff mar from the Weather Channel. We're on a glanda
watch some forty six hang on.

Speaker 12 (59:09):
Well, I just want to say.

Speaker 9 (59:10):
I don't agree with you.

Speaker 12 (59:12):
And someone who was in customer service off and on
for the better part of forty years, I can tell
you that it can mean the world to somebody to
walk into a real tail store and not see someone
who you who looks like they just hate their job,
they just don't care. A big smile and.

Speaker 9 (59:31):
A hello, how are you.

Speaker 12 (59:34):
I love that everybody knows me where I go because
that's how I treat them.

Speaker 1 (59:40):
Oh, I understand, I understand. Everybody's very different, and I'm not.
Here's the thing simply saying hello when somebody walks into
a store. I don't have a beef with that. It's
the part where you're now, let's say you need eight
different things and eight different people. Are you try to
make small talk because I happen to get within four
feet of them? Is something that would turn me off,
is what I'm saying.

Speaker 12 (01:00:00):
Yeah, I don't think it's small talk though. I think
it's more like, how are you? How can I help you?
And it's as easy as saying, you know, somebody already
asked me thank you very much, because I'm so sick
of walking around retail stores and seeing everybody with a
frown on their face and coming in and that's been
going on for years and coming in. I love the
greeters at my Walmart on Battleground, I absolutely love them.

(01:00:23):
We talk every time I go in there, from one
end of the store to the other, and they always
say hello. This is humanity. It's not about getting on
somebody's nerves and bothering them when they're trying to get
out of the store. It's about saying, I am here
to help you. This is my job, and I appreciate
my job, and I appreciate you. And that's why you

(01:00:43):
know I'm going to toot my horn here. I was
always an award winning person at the jobs I worked
at because I really do care.

Speaker 9 (01:00:50):
I care. I care when you and us are having
a bad wind.

Speaker 12 (01:00:53):
I care. When I go to church and people aren't smiling,
I do my best to make them smile. I think
that that's what we've lost. When I was a little
girl growing up here in Greensbar, Any store you walked into,
whether it be the Curb Market or Belt Downtown or Tallahammer's,
you were treated with love, respect and joy. People just

(01:01:14):
and that's what we've lost. That's what we've lost. Elsea.
Let's go in here talk and you know the cashiers
are standing there and they've got a smirk on their
face and and and you know, I always say hello
the cashiers, how is your day going? And when and
when someone helps fans say thank you so much, have
a blessed day, even in the damn McDonald's drawsers. So

(01:01:34):
that's what I'm saying. I understand where you're coming from.

Speaker 9 (01:01:36):
I don't.

Speaker 12 (01:01:36):
I'm not happy every day I go out and I
want to get out sometimes.

Speaker 1 (01:01:41):
Lack and let me just say this joy. It's not
that I'm necessarily unhappy. I mean, I'm unhappy when I
got to go shopping anyway, because I don't really enjoy it,
but not to the point where I'm going to ruin
other people's days. But the thing is is, I'm not joking.
I don't smile. I don't know, it's just physically I
don't smile. But I also don't smile when I'm in
a rape mood. And I can't tell you the amount

(01:02:02):
of times I've had to have a conversation where somebody's like,
you know, you should smile, more like, oh, why aren't
you smiling? And I'm just like, what does it mean?
I'm being super polite, I'm having a happy conversation with you,
and somebody will say that, so, you know, just that
gets on my nerves. But what you're talking about is
places you go regularly, and that's a different story. There's

(01:02:24):
places I go regularly, and the first thing I say
hello to everybody, I know their names. I understand that
me popping into the random target to get five things.
If they're I don't need them to look unhappy. But
it just if they're doing their jobs. I got no
beef with them. I understand it. Just you know, and
if I have a question, I'll come talk to you.
So that's all. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So it's nothing again,

(01:02:49):
this is nothing against retail workers. This is this is
this is more be just imagining more of these uncomfortable
run ins where nobody really wants to be having the conversation,
and you know what, it'll probably uptick the whole Happy
holidays versus merry Christmas insanity, which we're getting ready to
freak out about.

Speaker 9 (01:03:09):
So well, let's have that done happen.

Speaker 12 (01:03:11):
I don't want to say that, because that's how everybody
merry Christmas.

Speaker 9 (01:03:13):
I don't care.

Speaker 12 (01:03:14):
No, I'm going to tell you Merry Christmas, even if
you're wearing a turban.

Speaker 9 (01:03:18):
That's the way it goes.

Speaker 1 (01:03:19):
Well, I'm just you know, we just know what's coming
because it's you know, it's like spring rains that'll be
here before too long. Joanne, thanks for the call there.

Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
All right, Yeah, there's some confusion there. Like listen, I'll
be in a great mood. I'll be in a super
good mood, really happy. But if I am a store
and I'm like, you know, like like harassed like six
or seven times people saying like hello, I'm gonna be like,
I'm not coming back here.

Speaker 1 (01:03:42):
It's weird. I won't be Yeah, even if it's subconscious,
yeah right, it'll put me in a bad mood. I'll
be like, let me alone. There's already there's already a
list of things. If I feel that I need to
go someplace, there's already a check box in my head
where I'll try to talk myself out of it. Like, uh,
you know, if I go right now, the parking will suck,
the traffic will suck.

Speaker 3 (01:03:59):
Now, the problem in the past is when you do
need somebody, like you know, I need somebody to unlock
this game or this console, the razors I was trying
to get at Walmart that way right, Oh yeah, then
you can't find anybody, and I'll never buy razors of
Walmart again, even though it might be irrational.

Speaker 1 (01:04:18):
That's that in my brain. It's now like it's just
not worth it. And or any store where they got
them locked up and I've had trouble finding somebody to
get them unlocked. You just won't do it. And I
also understand why they're locking it down like there, you know,
especially in places where they don't prosecute anybody for anything,
Like I get it, but it doesn't change how I
feel about it. So anyway, all right, so there's your

(01:04:41):
there's your very grinchy take on this morning. Apparently we're
trying to do a canceling. Hollywood wants to do a canceling,
so we got a cancelor. We'll have to get to
a pretty well known, pretty well known movie star. Although
I do have some questions about the all right, it's

(01:05:02):
one of our listens. So he's starting to a military listener.
He says, imagine if you walked into the any at
the Navy Exchange any X at Camp le June today
and a customer service rep wish you a happy birthday? Yeah, man,
I mean, are you Tracy Morgan? Confused by the email there?
Or maybe that's Branda Lambert emailing I don't know, I

(01:05:25):
don't know. I mean you're a celebrity, so they would know.
Guys very hung up on birthdays. So one emailer AnyWho U?
So you guys know Jeremy Renner right from you know Hawkeye? Right?
I guess?

Speaker 12 (01:05:41):
Uh?

Speaker 1 (01:05:41):
And The Born, the One Born movie without Jason Bourne.
He was in that. He's done a bunch of stuff.
I generally like most things I see Jeremy Renner in,
but apparently he is on the cancel block over some
texts and and some behavior that was made public by

(01:06:04):
Chinese filmmaker Yee Zoo. I'm not super familiar. I guess
I am kind of some of the stuff she's done.
But anyway, according to Zoo, she was dating Renter and
I guess up to last month and is now accusing

(01:06:24):
him of sending unsolicited pornographic images of himself, except here's
the order that she's claiming, right, And I don't know,
but I have a couple like working theories here. So
according to Zoo, they were working on something together, then
he sent her unsolicited nudes, then she dated him, then

(01:06:48):
they got into some sort of huge fight, and now
they're not dating. And now she says, we got to
cancel him. If he was sending you unwanted nudes, why
did you? I guess it would be my question. And she,
by the way, she's not alleging physical abuse or anything
like that. She's basically, as best I can read it,

(01:07:09):
he sent her unsolicited photos, then she dated him. Then
they had some really like nasty exchanges, including one via
text where he threatened to call immigration. And now we're
here and they're like, oh, you got to cancel Renner?
All right. Couple things One, why would you date somebody

(01:07:29):
who had sent that to you? First? Secondly, what the
texts look like? And I don't know, I don't pretend
to know, but what it looks like to me is
that part of the relationship where it's getting broken up
because you guys are fighting a lot and you get
into those really really nasty fights where somebody drinks too

(01:07:52):
much and then it's like, I'm gonna say the most
horrible thing I can think. And by the way, men
and women do that, like just just say something because
they're part of this bitter fight. That's what looks like's
going on here. So I don't I I don't know
if you remember Renner's been like injured, you got what
do you get smoked by? Like a snowplower some up
by Lake Tahoe suffered severe injuries. And also, and this

(01:08:15):
is one thing I do have a question, was the
timing of this during the same time that he was
corrupted by Loki.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Oh it's a good point, dude, right.

Speaker 1 (01:08:25):
Remember remember he he touches them with the stone on
the on the on the spear thing and then all
of a sudden renders a battye.

Speaker 3 (01:08:31):
Right, you are not responsible for your actions if you've
been taken over by the Mindstone?

Speaker 9 (01:08:37):
Is that cant?

Speaker 3 (01:08:37):
Is that case law?

Speaker 1 (01:08:38):
I believe? So?

Speaker 3 (01:08:39):
Yeah? Okay, so, but there's also irony here. So he
threaten to call ice on her after being controlled by
someone with the Mindstone who's an actual alien.

Speaker 1 (01:08:50):
Yes, right, we didn't. We didn't want Loki here, right,
Look at it. Look at what happens when Loki comes
to Earth Man space portals right with yes, okay, uh uh.
They murdered the one guy right, murdered, murdered the one
guy who was a big Captain America fan, just for

(01:09:12):
you know, being there. Yeah, no, it's a so I don't.
I don't know. It's just the part the part of
the story where I'm not understanding this is yeah, no, no, no,
I get that he texted you horrible stuff, but like
it just screams to me end of the relationship fight
where you just say the most horrible thing you can
think of, which, in retrospect, isn't that horrible. It's not
like a friend of killer or something. So I I

(01:09:34):
don't know, because again I I I would be more
like HF. But but then he you complain that he
did the thing, and then you rewarded him by dating him.

Speaker 3 (01:09:45):
It's like, so it's such a human thing to do.
But like you, like you said, like you're in a
bad relationship and it's ending and you're just like you know,
typing nonsense.

Speaker 1 (01:09:53):
Right, Yeah, what can I say to get a ride?
I want to make them hurt like I hurt kind
of stuff. Ummm, yeah, there's there's a whole bunch of
stuff here. Now there is some text where she she
did text a friend, i'ment Jeremy's home and he is violent.
Now again, she didn't claim it was violent to her.

(01:10:15):
But he was like yelling and slamming stuff after a
bottle of wine, is her allegation.

Speaker 12 (01:10:21):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:10:21):
Any, I don't know, I don't know. I maybe some
more will come out. So all with whole judgment, but
it's the order of operation that's a little difficult for me.
That's all I'm saying. All Right, eight twelve here on
the cac O Day radio program, let's get into this.

(01:10:43):
D you do do?

Speaker 9 (01:10:46):
All right?

Speaker 1 (01:10:47):
Just saw this story, that's right, opening it on my phone. Uh,
Newer post is just the worst sometimes. New Mexico man
allegedly shot two people dead after receiving an encrypted message.
All right, Ross, we're gonna two for this. What do

(01:11:08):
you think? What animal I'll give you? I'll give you this.
So it's kind of like son of Sam. What animal
do you think delivered the encrypted message to murder two people?
If you had to guess an African grave but no, no, no,
no cat no no smaller, no smaller a hamster, smaller

(01:11:31):
than a hamster. It no larger than a cockroach. Wow,
you got it. Yeah, you're not supposed to win my ear.
Yeah yeah, yeah, So an encrypted message delivered via cockroach. Yeah,
I'm a winner. The man said he received an encrypted

(01:11:54):
message inside a cockroach. Okay, I have a question. Why
are we inside the cockrow? I thought when I saw
this headline, I thought it was gonna be like he had,
like the cockroach had like weird marking on it. And
he no, no, no, Apparently it was inside the cockroach.
Like I don't know if it was a little sheet
of paper or what like.

Speaker 3 (01:12:14):
Did he see the cockroach and he like a cockroach
and he stepped on it and then he like received
a message like telepathically from the dead cockroach. But yeah,
came out of the cockroach's essence or something. I'm trying
to figure that. I'm trying to figure out exactly how
where the message.

Speaker 1 (01:12:34):
Yeah, he's just said it was an encrypted message inside
the cockroach. It doesn't say howie if he stepped on
it or what. Also, the message he said after he
received the message from the cockroach. He also heard creepy
voices coming from the vents, which he assumed were other cockroaches,
so he grabbed a marine saber and a glock handgun,

(01:12:56):
killed two people and then as when police arrived, I
only had this abor and was standing at a ready position.
So I'm assuming he's holding it like he's getting ready
to get in the sword fight. Yeah, it sounds like
there might have been some drugs going on here too,
and some sort of undiagnosed something or other there, or

(01:13:17):
you know, maybe it was a cockroach like a message
in a bottle. I don't know. I've squashed a lot
of cockroaches and there's never been any you know, it's
never been like a fortune cookie with lucky numbers or
you know, directions to kill all right, eight fifteen hang
on here, I guess just waking up. Good for you
sleeping in until eight twenty one on a Monday. But

(01:13:38):
we could very quickly be out of the government shutdown, like.

Speaker 10 (01:13:43):
We're getting very close on the shutdown. We'll never agree
to give any substantial money or any money too really
prisoners illegals to come into our countree.

Speaker 5 (01:13:55):
And I think the.

Speaker 10 (01:13:56):
Democrats understand that, and it looks like we're getting close
to this down ending.

Speaker 1 (01:14:02):
You'll know, versure, thank you very much for it, all right,
And so what he was referencing there at the time
was roughly ten to twelve Democrat senators who were actually
responsive to a place. And here's the deal that's being offered, okay,
and here's what the Senate voted on. Basically, it would
be a clean cr from a spending perspective, and Thune

(01:14:27):
would agree to have essentially consideration for the keeping the
subsidies for the Obamacare and a couple other things. But
you know that's the big one. The irony, of course,
is that is the very same deal that was offered
weeks ago. Nothing has changed from when that was initially offered.

(01:14:51):
It's just a promise to consider it. And it's only
in the Senate, by the way, right, you're still at
the will of what the House is willing to consider that.
That is what Democrats are are likely because you got
five to vote, so they got a sixty to forty vote.
And like, I can't remember if it was Senator budd
who told us this or the Congressman brad not, but

(01:15:14):
now the House will have to fix their version too,
because they have to set a date by which essentially
it will stop so that they can hopefully have some
sort of budget agreement. And that looks like that'll be
in January, so you know they'll have they'll have a
couple of months to work on this. Nothing has changed,

(01:15:35):
So then the question is, well, then if your guys
are willing to accept that, then then why now?

Speaker 2 (01:15:42):
We've got plenty more on the other side, we will
talk about Sean about this again. You're looking live at
the Senate floor as the Democratic filibuster has been broken.
We have so far reached sixty. We're writing for the
official count, but right now sixty votes that would unlock
moving forward with this plan to reopen the government on
the Senate side, a quick break.

Speaker 1 (01:16:02):
More on the other side, Yeah, the Democrat philibuster there,
which CNN is acknowledging. Here is main Senator King on why.

Speaker 4 (01:16:11):
Now you a vote on the extending the tax credits?
It does not guarantee that it's going to happen, So
how do you explain those to your constituents? Why it
was working to put up this fight for so long.
Within the end, you did not hit your heat.

Speaker 5 (01:16:24):
Demand because it wasn't working. How long would it take
to not get a response to say it isn't working.
In other words, it's been six weeks. There's been no
The Republicans made it clear they weren't going to discuss
the healthcare issue, the Affordable CARECT tax credits until the

(01:16:49):
shutdown was over. We tried to keep working that for
six weeks. It didn't happen. The vote that we have
there's not a garantee, for sure, it's more of a guarantee.
Here's the way I would put it. As I assessed it,
there was zero chance of dealing with the ACA issue

(01:17:11):
as long as the shutdown continued. Now, I don't know
fifty to fifty, but there's a lot better chance now
than there was this morning, because nothing was happening, and
there was no evidence that another week or another two
weeks or Thanksgiving or Christmas was suddenly the Republicans want

(01:17:33):
to come to us and say, oh, we want to
now talk about the ACA.

Speaker 1 (01:17:37):
All right, And of course humor came out and he's mad,
I voted no, Ross you were telling me over on
Blue Sky. They're really happy because now the government's going
to reopen.

Speaker 3 (01:17:49):
Were they it exactly they're posting Chuck Schumer guillotine memes, so,
you know, like a typical day, really I'm believing.

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
Yeah, yeah, that's pretty normal. By the way. Also, I
saw somebody, because I saw somebody point out that the guillotines,
like that seems a little threatening, and the defense was
that Republicans post wood chipper memes, yeah about pedophiles. Well
they left that part out in the argument. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, yeah.

Speaker 9 (01:18:20):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:18:21):
I guess maybe he didn't realize that when we post
wood chipper memes it's because some dude raped a school
bus full of kids. I mean, context matters, sir. But again,
I you know, blue Sky is gonna boost.

Speaker 3 (01:18:36):
I don't ever recall us being like, oh man, Chuck
Schumer won't pass this bill, throw him in a Woodschipperly,
I don't think.

Speaker 1 (01:18:43):
Yeah, it's not really been a focal point of the
show thus far. Yeah, we've used a lot of wood
chipper memes on the old Twitter, but it's generally been
very specific. By the way, so check this out. The
US government has begun the process of murdering four hundred
and fifty thousand barred owls, not barn owls, barred owls

(01:19:04):
in California, Oregon and Washington. Why are they doing it
because the population is so great that it is taking
up valuable real estate for spotted owls. And now you
got a bunch of people are very mad at this
on both sides of the island, might add, but and
then they're blaming somehow. This is Trump's fault too, because

(01:19:28):
this is us, you know, it's federal government doing. He
just wants to murder owls. This is on you, hippies,
This is on you. I remember a strong section of
my childhood where the most pressing environmental issue was the
spotted owls. Right, you had all these lunatics like building treehouses,
chaining themselves to trees, blocking bulldozers, you name it, right,

(01:19:51):
it was right after save the whales. Then we moved
on to the spotted owl. And you never you never
made the owl, not on the level, on the on
the brink of extinction, right, all of the stuff that
you did, and then you just moved on. I never
then there was nothing about the spotted owl.

Speaker 12 (01:20:08):
No.

Speaker 3 (01:20:08):
I know, it went the way of like Tibet. Remember
when everybody had the free Tibet stickers in the back,
Like what happened with Tibbet it's still there.

Speaker 1 (01:20:14):
I'm a fan of the thing of the moment because
the spotted owls never they never like rebounded. It's not
like bison. It's not like wolves. In the Western States.
The spotted owls were always screwed. Man. One of our
favorite states has had the entire weekend to percolate and
create news, and boy did they.

Speaker 11 (01:20:38):
Florida then Florida then, is something in the water they
arrows hand that made you do all that crazy crap.

Speaker 3 (01:20:44):
It's like the state is one to be dumb ass trap.

Speaker 1 (01:20:47):
Nowhere else has.

Speaker 3 (01:20:48):
The Florida Man.

Speaker 1 (01:20:51):
It is almost like, as the weird.

Speaker 13 (01:20:54):
Factor climbs that you find out it haven't in Florida
every time.

Speaker 3 (01:21:00):
Florida then Florida Man.

Speaker 1 (01:21:02):
If anyone can jeer me, you know you can't. Just
mind life be crazy. But of course it's not as
bad crowd crazy as yours. Nowhere else are you gonna
find him? They're so used to it they don't find him.

Speaker 3 (01:21:15):
Hooray for Florida Man.

Speaker 1 (01:21:18):
Here's the headline. Florida man arrested after police say he
fired shots after getting into an argument about how many
eggs a chicken could lay. Okay. Two Florida man and
one Florida woman arrested in Port Saint Lucy after one
of the men opened fire during a bar argument over
how many eggs a chicken could lay. Now here's the thing.

(01:21:41):
They don't say that, like, they don't finish the question.
So I can't even figure out how to have this debate.
Do you mean per day? Do you mean in a
chicken's lifetime? Do you mean a particular breed of chicken
versus a different breed of chicken? They don't specify. And
that's a tragedy. So apparently.

Speaker 9 (01:22:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:22:00):
And by the way, the dude who fired into the
air is a chicken farmer. In fact, I'm looking at
a picture of him. They have like a freeze frame
from some surveillance or from the body cam when they
came to arrest him. He looks like butter Bean in coveralls.
Dude straight up looks like a chicken farmer. So I

(01:22:22):
don't know why the other people were questioning his egg
laying knowledge. If if, like, if I saw that dude
and he was gonna tell me something about you know,
you know, laying rates for hens, I'd probably listen to him.
But they did not h So apparently it started as

(01:22:42):
a casual conversation at a bar about how many eggs
a chicken can lay. Again, no clarity on what the
you know, in what period of time? Uh and uh
apparently uh, the argument started to get loud, so I
guess the bar. The people in the bar like, you
need to not be here anymore because you all are
drunk and yelling. So they go outside. One of the

(01:23:03):
other men starts smoking marijuana. Samonna sneezier, excuse me, Monday funday,
all right, start smoking marijuana and then re engage said
chicken farmer, who then became agitated and started accusing the
others of trying to con him. Moments later, they say

(01:23:26):
he pulled a forty five caliber glock, fired four shots,
not at them per se, but kind of over them.
But you know, still don't do that. And so now
he's charged with let's see what we got here, everything,
four counts discharging illegal use of a firearm, aggravated assault,
aggravated attempted battery with a deadly weapon, So a whole

(01:23:46):
bunch of stuff. And we still don't know what the
actual egg question was, and I don't pretend to know
enough about chickens to give you laying rates. So but
still this guy looked like he probably know he was
talking talking about and he just you know, there's nothing
worse than when you know you're right and then you
just have two people are being intentionally ignorant, because clearly

(01:24:07):
it looks like they were goading this dude. Not that
you get to shoot over their heads, but still probably
not gonna end well for you. Uh. And we have
this controversy. This happens every year and it generally happens
right early in the year because teams play other teams,
whether in college, that are really not fair I don't

(01:24:29):
say fairly matched, but they're not matched where people think
it's going to be a close score.

Speaker 9 (01:24:34):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:24:34):
These are warm up games, whatever you want to call them.
By the way, I will say this unc H looks
like they have an absolute star on their hands with
that with their their freshmen there Talvin Jones. Oh I
don't have his name in front of me, doesn't matter,
you guys know what I'm talking about. Dude looks like
a beast. Uh So that'll be interesting to watch this Uh.

(01:24:56):
This is involves a different D one team locally, uh
High point. Yeah, And the controversy is, apparently people are
mad because High Point University didn't just beat their opponent,
they absolutely destroyed them. Second game of the year, high Point,
let's see, the score was, I have one, all right,

(01:25:21):
ready for this one and twenty seven to fifty two.
That is an absolute butt whooping. But the other team,
which is AVERD which by the way, is not a
D one school. High Point University is a D one school.
In fact, if you remember last year, they actually made
it to the tournament. They're a very good team and
it looks like they're probably gonna be a good team

(01:25:42):
again this year. AVERAD is a D three school. So one,
I don't understand why they're playing. But you are playing,
all right, You're gonna play a game everyone expects High
Point is gonna win. But it became clear that the
coach for the other team and some of the fans
were getting very upset. And now starts the criticism. And
the criticism is why would High Point leave their starters

(01:26:02):
in when they were clearly kicking their butt? And just
to show you how much of a beating it was
towards the end, where was this with seventeen minutes to go.
The score was only sixty two to thirty seven something
like that, So they laid like the other sixty points
in the last like eighteen minutes of the game. But

(01:26:26):
and the coach for avert was yelling at people. There
was some hard technical fouls like it just got ugly.
But I this whole criticism when one team doesn't take
a knee against the other team or put their this
is early in the season. The reason they're even playing
a warm up school like that is they want to
get minutes on the court so that their starters are

(01:26:47):
comfortable with each other so that when they play like
actual competitive like really competitive games, they gel they play.
I mean, I understand completely why you don't pull your starters.
The only argument that you could make, and it's less
so in basketball than football, is you want to pull
your starters out so they don't get hurt. But and
and look, people can get hurt in basketball, but that's

(01:27:09):
more of a football thing. Or then they don't pull
their starters out, and then they don't have a quarterback
for the rest of the year, as got a couple
of NFL teams have found out. So I don't blame
High Point at all. I blame it. Look, Everett want
to play this game. I I don't know what high point.
They probably got a nice paycheck for doing it, which
is helpful for their sports program. As a D three school,

(01:27:32):
you're always wanting the money in there. What's the problem. Sure,
they're winning, but honestly, did you expect you were going
to win? Probably?

Speaker 12 (01:27:41):
Not.

Speaker 1 (01:27:43):
It would have been amazing from an upset story standpoint,
if you're if you're a player for this, for this
D three school, I'd be crazy. That's it would be
like app State Michigan, right, even though that wasn't they're
both D one teams. But you know, that's one of
the most storied, uh insane upset that's of college football history,
at least in my in my lifetime. So you know,

(01:28:06):
fight for that. But if it's not working out, you're
still getting to play against better players. Arguably your school's
getting paid for it. What's the problem here? But every
year we get into this, Oh you got it. No,
you've got to have a mercy rule. No, no, no, no.
That that that may work for your kids little league,

(01:28:27):
But once you're into now, once you're into where you
can get paid to do this, which is what college
is now. You just you gotta go out there and
do the best that you can and if it doesn't
work out, you still gotta, you know, just suck it up, man,
look at it for what it is. But no, we're
gonna we're gonna start whinding this morning, all right, eight
forty three Jeff mar from the Weather Channel. Let's check

(01:28:52):
in with him again, and he's gonna freeze all your
tomato plants.

Speaker 6 (01:28:55):
So but yeah, it is going to be cold tonight
at early time tomorrow morning as the winds continued a
gust out of the northwest behind this and parting front
are high today in the load to bid fifties with
some sunshine, and then tonight it just turbine rolls through.
We may see a little bit of light store a
few flurries this evening into the overnight hours, but not
much accumulation to be concerned about. However, it is going

(01:29:17):
to be windy and called down to twenty eight with
wind chills in the teens at times, and then for
Veteran's Day tomorrow, some more gusty wins out of the
west under sunshine up to forty eight, and then tomorrow
night clear the low dipping of the mid thirties. Temperatures
will rebound with sunshine Wednesday and Thursday and high's in
the low sixties. Then the Sunday Friday is the high
approach of sixty four degrees.

Speaker 1 (01:29:34):
All right, Jeff, do appreciate you're with us tomorrow as well. Yes, indeed,
all right, we'll talk to Jeff mar again tomorrow and
have a good one, sir, thank you. Coming up, we
will chat with Denise Peller. I wonder if Denise is
in tomorrow, considering it's a Veterans Day, so we'll find out.
We'll chat with her next on the CaCO Day radio program.

(01:29:54):
So let me. I just want to touch on some Denise.
It's going to tell you about when she does join us.
I'm you know, oh you're with us, all right, Well,
I won't spoil it for you. So I have big
pasta concerns, So anyway, you go right ahead.

Speaker 14 (01:30:07):
Yeah, you're worried. Are you having like pasta stress?

Speaker 1 (01:30:11):
You're like, no, no, anxiety. I remember when we did
the rice shortage, everyone was freaking out. So now, yeah,
I like pasta a lot more so.

Speaker 14 (01:30:20):
Yeah, but the thing is you might not be able
to get your favorite pasta case.

Speaker 1 (01:30:25):
Ross already explained to me. There's a hack. I don't
know if you know this. There's a place with unlimited
pasta that's different.

Speaker 14 (01:30:33):
The pasta isn't going to be coming into the country,
so the unlimited.

Speaker 3 (01:30:36):
Place is going to have that makes that makes no sense.

Speaker 14 (01:30:40):
Do you want me to tell you about this now?

Speaker 1 (01:30:42):
Go ahead?

Speaker 13 (01:30:42):
Yeah?

Speaker 14 (01:30:42):
Okay, okay. The Commerce Department announced that ninety two anti
dumping duty on pasta made in Italy by La Molasama
and twelve other companies. It's on top of the Trump
administration's fifteen percent tariffs on imports from the European Union.
The pasta makers say that's just too high to keep
doing business in the US, so they're not going to

(01:31:03):
send pasta to the US anymore. So if you have
that nice, identic Italian pasta that you like, you probably
want to stock up on what you've got now because
you are not going to be able to get it
pretty soon.

Speaker 3 (01:31:17):
The other thing I.

Speaker 14 (01:31:17):
Wanted to talk to you about, Casey, is a fifty
year mortgage, because the White House is talking about it now.
Bill Pulte, director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency, says
the advantage would be lower monthly payments than the standard
thirty year, but it would also mean it'll take you
longer to build up equity in your home. That means
more people won't pay off their mortgages until way after

(01:31:38):
they retire as well, and people could be more vulnerable
to foreclosure during those early years for longer, So there
are some consumer risks there. A lot of people though,
they are going overseas right now, Financial Advisor saying they
are seeing a surge and the interest in residency abroad.
This is among middle income clients looking to cut costs

(01:32:00):
change lifestyle. They're looking in places like Portugal, Panama, and Mexico,
which have a way lower cost of living in similar
visa requirements. In casey, I know somebody who lives and
works here in the New York City area. Every time
he needs to see a dentist, he flies to Portugal
because he says it is actually cheaper to pay the

(01:32:21):
plane fare and have his dental work done in Portugal
than it is to have it. Yes, and of course
the cost of living in Mexico. I mean, you can
get a nice place in Mexico for a tenth of
what you pay here, and then you can just fly
here if you want to the US for your medical coverage.
If you're doing that, some positivity in the air on

(01:32:43):
Wall Street this morning. Airline and tech shares are getting
but some health insurance stocks they are under some pressure
as the Senate works on Indian government shutdown you've been
talking about without extending expiring health insurance subsidies. That's why
some of those insurance companies are lower. This morning, Dow
futures are up one seventy five s and P futures
up sixty three. Nasdaq futures up three eighty. I don't

(01:33:05):
know if you're a YouTube fan, but you know that
Disney blackout is really killing people. The price dispute between
the two companies now has some customers Casey turning to
paper clips. They're unwinding the paper clips sticking him in
their TV's coaxial port to get receptions so they can,
you know, watch ABC's Monday Night football and other stuff.

(01:33:27):
So there's a little hack for you. You can get
the twenty dollars refund from YouTube, stick the paper clip
in and still watch ABC.

Speaker 1 (01:33:36):
I mean, do you get HD antenna for thirty bucks?

Speaker 14 (01:33:40):
Yeah, but this is a paper clip is cheaper than
if you save thirty bucks on everything you do, you
wake up rich one day.

Speaker 1 (01:33:51):
All right. And by the way, that fifty your mortgage
sounds like the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Why well,
I don't know if you. I saw some people doing
the math on like a four hunred thousand dollars home
and it only lowers your payment like two hundred dollars,
but the amount of extra interest you pay is basically
like half the home.

Speaker 14 (01:34:11):
Right, anytime you're buying a home, you need to look
at the entire interest that you're paying and seeing, you know,
if you're paying four hundred thousand dollars for a home,
but you're paying three hundred thousand, or you know, in interest,
you're actually buying a seven hundred thousand dollars home.

Speaker 1 (01:34:28):
Right, Yeah, wow, that's what they would tell you.

Speaker 14 (01:34:30):
No, and then you'll be buying a million dollar home
if it's if it's fifty year markets, no question.

Speaker 1 (01:34:34):
By the way, is that Bill Poulti Is that from
the Polty home building company?

Speaker 14 (01:34:39):
Yes, yes it is, but he has sort of fashioned
himself into you know, he's a big So yeah, I
am shocked.

Speaker 1 (01:34:48):
He's shocked this morning. So all right, Denise, I do
appreciate it.

Speaker 9 (01:34:51):
Now.

Speaker 1 (01:34:52):
The market market is open tomorrow, but the bond market
isn't open, so you'll be.

Speaker 14 (01:34:55):
With the that's right, I will be with you tomorrow.
We'll be going full steam here.

Speaker 1 (01:35:02):
Yeah, we'll look for thanks talking to you all right,
sounds good. Denise Pelligreenny there from Bloomberg News. Yeah, so
ross start hoarding pasta, I guess, so you think. Can
you imagine if Olive Garden has to pull the deal
they got that beat? I don't. I don't understand that
would be possible. Yeah, I mean unlimited, So unlimited is

(01:35:22):
thank you?

Speaker 3 (01:35:23):
Yeah makes sense?

Speaker 1 (01:35:24):
Okay, yes, and yeah, of course tomorrow is Veterans Day,
and just the reminder, as I normally do, Memorial Day
and Veterans Day are not the same thing, even though
they do involve soldiers. So it's good to know that.
I can't tell you the number of people as you
get that wrong. So Veterans Days for everybody, right, So

(01:35:48):
if you've got a family member as a veteran or
you're a veteran, this is for us. Probably some cool
free stuff too, to go out and just gorge yourself
tomorrow for Veterans Day, Memorial days of course, those who
who were killed serving this country and Ross I did
look this up. I did a little research on the

(01:36:09):
birthday front, because they kept getting all these emails.

Speaker 3 (01:36:11):
Yeah, I know, it's been super weird today, you're right.

Speaker 1 (01:36:14):
Yeah, And we were like, it's Tracy Morgan's birthday, It
Sinbad's birthday. Apparently it's also one other there's another birthday
today the Marines. So yeah, and they get pretty pumped
over there. I saw the fun I did see a
picture because they had the big you know, the Marine
Corps balls and all that going on, and somebody posted

(01:36:34):
a picture. It might have been from over by. Le
June was somewhere in North Carolina, and so that would
make sense. And they had these cookies. But the cookies
were in the shape of crowns. So now you say,
le June, are you talking about Luzerne? Oh yeah, excuse me,
I forgot Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, that place over there.

(01:36:56):
But yeah, it did big like Crayola cookies.

Speaker 3 (01:36:58):
I mean, how how many times can we troll the
Marines in one broadcast? That's the question.

Speaker 1 (01:37:03):
I don't know, man, I was gonna, I was gonna
open the show with it. But we have a certain
listeners on Marine and he just started berating me with emails.
And when that happens, then I'm saving it for the end.
That's how that goes
