Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Tuesday edition of the CaCO Day radio program kind of
an important Tuesday depending on where you live. Not so
much like City of Raleigh. I think most of the
other big cities around the state do have some sort
of municipal election, and not just the big cities, the
smaller cities as well, like Wake Forest where Ross resides.

(00:21):
Just just many, many communities. So I guess if you
don't know if your community is voting today, it probably
would be worth your time to figure that out, or
you know, some crazy person gets in and your taxes
go up or down or whatever you don't want, so,
you know, check that out. But in addition to that,
I was reading a fascinating article this morning from The

(00:45):
New Yorker, and I mean it. But normally when I
say that, I don't mean it because I you know,
the New Yorker, But I actually mean it because one
of the big questions that's out there is who will
rebuild the Democrat Party? Okay, who is going to be
the leaders of tomorrow? You know, a lot of this

(01:05):
prompted by the announcement of Nancy Pelosi yesterday that she's
not running for reelection. I guess, you know, time to
retire now that she's eighty five, eighty six, whatever she is,
so you know that'll be done. I'm sure she'll which
is kind of crazy if you think about it, because

(01:25):
A Pelosi has been in Congress because her father was
in Congress. That's why if you ever look at pictures
of Nancy Pelosi when she's very young, she's like hob
nobbin with JFK and stuff as a young woman. I
don't know if there was any you know, official hob nobbin,
but anyway, there are photos that exist. But her father

(01:48):
obviously was in Congress even before JFK. So in one way,
shape or form, A Pelosi has been helping to steer
the ship since prior to Kennedy. So yeah, yeah, it's
been it's been a minute. So the New Yorker ran
this big piece and uh, here's here's how they promo

(02:10):
it on uh on Twitter. It says, who beyond the
well known and much profiled Al Alexandrio Casio Cortes, Zo
Ran Mondomni and John Ausoff. I forgot about that dude
from Georgia, who are the young people most likely to
rebuild the Democrat Party? Now let's say Democratic, go Democrat.

(02:32):
Whatever the bright lights of the next generation don't fit
easy into classifications. They include They include a seminarian, a waitress,
an oyster man. Oh no, they used Oh I'm sorry,
it's not oyster man, thank you, Sheila Jackson Lee. Yeah,

(02:53):
oyster persons, let's not be let's not be gender specific
and wait, hold on, yeah, and a semiconductor heiress. Oh,
that's right, that one. California lads, that's the Qualcom fortune.
She is the heiress to that. They are Bernie Indoor, socialist,

(03:15):
iron classic, centrist, some are I in national stage, others
staying local, and then they and then they go through
and they profile like twenty five. I'm not gonna do
all twenty five, but I am gonna talk about a
few because there is North Carolina representing here. And I
guess my question is twofold one. If you're on the left,

(03:41):
are you excited or terrified of this? If you're on
the right, are you excited or terrified of this? Or
maybe it makes a boat? I don't know, all right,
So the qualcomm check. That's Sarah Jacobs. She is a California,
California representative and let's see here heiress to the Qualcom

(04:02):
semiconductor fortune and used to be a foreign policy advisor
to Hillary's campaign. And I think she worked for Pelosi,
so she's kind of like her protege. Sycat I'm going
to butcher this dude's name, Sycat Chakra BARTI. Actually, I
think I got a right. That's AOC's chief of staff.

(04:23):
And also you may not know who he is, but
you've seen his work. Co author of the Green New
Deal where They're gonna murder all my family's cows or something.
Mallory Macroro, uh googled how to run for office after
Trump's first election and a former Gawker writer. I'm sorry, dude,

(04:49):
if I worked for Gocker, that ain't on the resume.
Not no, no, no, no, no no. Well, anyways, how
do you work for Gawker and then google for office?
Hold on, she's forty so in twenty sixteen, Yeah, you're
in your mid twenties. What are we doing? That's a

(05:13):
little terrifying. Rebecca Cook, she's from Wisconsin. She's the waitress,
because you know Bartender's waitress. That's a good get. But
she was prior to that, some sort of tech ceo.
So I don't even know the story there all right,
so here we go. Now we're gonna get into some
you're gonna recognize, that's right, everybody's favorite Maine Senate candidate

(05:36):
who once had a Nazi tattoo for twenty years but
not no more. Now he's got a wolf or something,
so he's on the list. Jake Auchincloss. Apparently that's some
old money Boston family name. Auchin class ouchin class probably
bribed Boston Paul at some point, I don't know.

Speaker 2 (06:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (06:00):
He is a representative up in Massachusetts. Marie Glausen Camp Perez.
This is you'll see why I'm including this in a moment,
representative for Washington District three. Once federal funding to kill
all the sea lions in the Columbia River. He's s

(06:22):
camp painting on murder and all. Now let me explain
why she wants to murder all the sea lions, right,
because if you ever been out to California or Oregon
or up in Washington, you'll probably encounter a sea lion.
And a lot of times they're just doing adorable, adorable stuff,
like they'll come over if you're if you're over on
a pier and you're fishing, they'll be banging around down there.

(06:43):
They may get a hold of an abalony or one
of those big spiky looking sea urch and things, and
then they'll lay on their little backs and then they'll just,
you know, kind of crack into that little snack. They'll
do little little swimmy flips, make little adorable noises. Usually,
if there's a sea lion, there's about twenty women with
cell phones oohing and on and cooing over these things,

(07:05):
and this chick is running on murdering them. And the
reason she wants to kill them it says they're invasive
sea lions. I don't know if I would agree that
they're invasive. I would agree that they have. They have
went further in on the Columbia River. So the sea
lions are just availing themselves of salmon runs, that's what
they're doing. So they're waiting on the end of the

(07:27):
Columbia River because these fish all go out to ocean,
right it's part of the spawning process, and then they
die and the sea lions are like free food. Same
reason the bears will line up up in Alaska because
you have these runs. However, because of the manipulation we've
done with the Columbia River, you know, they'll they'll work
a little further into that brackish water and even up

(07:49):
into the freshwater. They got no problem with that. And
so they get up in there and yeah, it's an
absolute feeding frenzy. But it's not like sea lions didn't
exist out there anyway. She wants to kill all of them,
and that's a platform piece. Oh here we go. Here's
the North Carolina connection. Our own Anderson Clayton Anderson is

(08:11):
twenty seven. She is the state party chair for the
Democrat Party in North Carolina. And this is how they
profile her. Grew up in a North Carolina town of
eight thousand, swears like a sailor. If you follow her
on Twitter, that is accurate. And she was the field
organizer for Elizabeth Warren prior as one of her earlier gigs.

(08:31):
So yeah, there's one of them. Oh yeah, yasmin Anna Sarry.
She was the former policy advisor to the UN Secretary General.
And I know some of that might make people nervous.
And it's kind of weird because what they did with
all of them, because they all have a picture of
professional photo. They took this really ornate, I mean, very

(08:55):
nice chair. It's a red leather chair, like a dark
red leather chair you'd see in like a nice library
or CEO's office or something, and they just kind of
hauled it to random places and then they sat in it.
Like here's one in the middle of the street. There's
one in the back of a truck, there's one by
the a bus. The oyster person's out on an oyster

(09:16):
person boat doing oyster persons. And so that's the New Yorker.
And you can go read it. Like I said, there's
twenty there's twenty five of them. I'm not going to
hit all of them, just you know, the Sea Lion,
murder Lady, our local stuff and some of the higher
profile ones. But that's where the New Yorker feels there's
going to be the new faces of the Democrat Party

(09:36):
here over the next decade. And I think that for
a lot of Republicans, they're they're probably gonna look at
that and go, you know, at first and go oh good, good, right,
because you know, like like David or like Goliath looked
at David. You know, the question is are they David?

(09:57):
And you know, in some races, like probably what's going
to happen up in New York City. That seems to
be the case. But when you're when you're not applying
logic or reason, it becomes an easier sell. There was
a piece of audio floating around yesterday and initially when

(10:18):
I saw it, and this is really important, when you
see something and you see a cut in the middle
of somebody making a statement, like you see a quick cut,
and whether it's a politician recording something, and they keep
quick cutting, like what they would do with Biden at
the end they what a little fifteen second thing where
he had to say it, and then there'd be five
jump cuts in it. You got to ask yourself, why

(10:39):
do they cut it? And so I was able to
seek out the longer piece because I thought maybe it
was being a bit unfair to this young woman. Here's
the cut.

Speaker 3 (10:47):
I voted firm on.

Speaker 4 (10:47):
Donnie, do you feel like socialism would work in New
York City?

Speaker 3 (10:51):
No, not necessarily.

Speaker 1 (10:53):
Comport that together. I voted for the socialist who says
he's going to do the social stuff, but I don't
think any of it will work.

Speaker 4 (11:03):
I voted firm on Donnie, do you feel like socialism
would work in New York City?

Speaker 1 (11:07):
No?

Speaker 3 (11:07):
Not necessarily, Good.

Speaker 1 (11:09):
Lord man, and okay, And I thought, well, that's not fair.
Is that exactly what she said? Because there's a clip
in there. So I actually found the longer cut because
I want to be fair, because you know a lot
of times people will put stuff up just to make
the interviewee and these, you know, these street things look stupid.
So here's what she actually said.

Speaker 3 (11:29):
I voted firm on Donnie.

Speaker 4 (11:30):
Okay, okay, tell us why.

Speaker 3 (11:32):
I'm just looking for someone new and not part of
the established Democratic Party who also hasn't been accused of
sexual assault.

Speaker 4 (11:40):
I spoke to the other side a little bit, and
they're concerned about like the government run grocery stores and
the free buses. What's your responsibility?

Speaker 3 (11:45):
I think government in the US is great in the
sense that there's always balance, right, Like, no one person
is making all the decisions, and so I think they'll
be balanced within.

Speaker 4 (11:55):
He describes itself as a Democrat socialist, like, do you
feel like socialism would work in New York City?

Speaker 5 (12:00):
No?

Speaker 3 (12:01):
Not necessarily?

Speaker 1 (12:02):
All right, so see it's a lot better. What h
What must it be like to not be burdened with reason? Man?
I mean, I understand the line about how the balance
of government, but that's not how New York City works.
I mean, they're gonna be wrong. There are a few

(12:22):
right wing members of the New York City Council, mostly
from like Staten Island for you know, further out areas,
but ultimately they don't really have any power and they
can't even really stop anything. I don't even think they
could impact a potential quorum if they didn't show up.
So it's not the person who's going to be steering

(12:46):
most of this, and probably is the dude who's going
to implement the thing that you don't think is gonna work.
Absolutely amazing, some would say inconceivable. And I'll explain why
next here on the KCO Day radio program. Do you
guys know who Ella deve dev is? That is her name,

(13:08):
Ella Devi. She actually has a moniker. She goes by
It's hot girl for Zorn and she you know, she's
she's she does pretty well on the social media. So
she was out canvassing yesterday for Zoororun and she got
paired up as they do, with somebody you may recognize,

(13:31):
and that is even if you don't recognize the name.
She got paired up with Wallace Sean, who is who
is an actor. How old is he? He's got to
be eighties eighty one, all right, So described as stage
and screen and so she posted a picture. Now I
will say this, when you get these actors that go out,

(13:53):
they generally pair them up with somebody who is high
profile themselves on social media, so you get the extra
added bonus of there being a lot of content floating
around out there. And there was, and she was posting
while they were out canvassing, and there's a big picture
of her some other person is that a guy or

(14:19):
I don't know, but and then Wallace Sean and so
here's what she tweets out. This is her. Hey, look
at look at what I'm doing canvas scene for Zorron,
you know at Zorn Mondami in the East Village today
with the actor who plays doctor Sturgis in Young Sheldon

(14:39):
and then happy emoji stuff like that. Okay, So if
you if you still don't know who I'm talking about,
you would probably recognize him from a few other movies.
If you didn't watch the Young Sheldon, and I don't
watch Young Sheldon, I understand people like the show. That's great.
You would also recognize him as the dude from the

(15:03):
princess bride who got killed by iodie powder. Inconceivable that
dude or from Vegas vacation as the blackjack dealer that
is whipping Clark up one side and down the other.
For Vice President Dick Cheney dead at eighty four, This
breaking about fifteen minutes ago. It's interesting too, because I

(15:29):
get a breaking news thing here from ABC News. I
clicked the article and I've got it open here and
it says for or Vice President Dick Cheney dead at
eighty four. And I scanned down because I wanted to
see the time that they published this so I could
get a sense of how breaking this was. And it
says the published date is October fourth, twenty thirteen at

(15:50):
ten oh three am. Clearly that's not today's date. And
so what this is. We talk about this from time
to time because every once in a while there used
to be a whoopsie. I haven't seen one in a
while where a something will get published, usually online, and

(16:11):
it's like so and so is dead and you're like,
I don't think they're dead. So then you here too
check see if they're dead, which is awkward, and and
then they're like, oh, are bad because one of the things,
especially in a major news outlet, is uh, they have
they have these things ready to go and then they'll
periodically update them. But you know they have I promise

(16:35):
you they have obituaries for Trump, for jd Vance, probably
pretty much anyone because if you're you want to be
Johnny on the spot with your breaking news there. So
as morbid as it is, that is the logical explanation.

Speaker 6 (16:48):
Wait, I'm like super confused. So is he dead or not?
He is dead, he is, Okay.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
Yeah, but ABC, whether we in a in a rush
to publish, did not change the date on it.

Speaker 6 (16:59):
So I got you. So it's one of the things
where they wrote it in advance.

Speaker 1 (17:02):
They wrote it in advance. Yeah, that's that's the point
that I'm making.

Speaker 6 (17:04):
Yeah, but think about that they had that ready to
go since twenty fourteen, twenty thirteen.

Speaker 1 (17:09):
Jeez, well, I mean, he was the vice president of
the United States and they've you know, and and he
there was still things he was involved in. They still
wanted to savage him over the Iraq Afghanistan stuff. In fact,
let me let me see how updated this article is
after twenty thirteen, because because like it had been so long,

(17:32):
they probably forgot man. In fact, let me let me
do this Ross. I'm gonna text you the ABC article
so you have that hang on doing nine things at once.
That's how we roll around these parts.

Speaker 6 (17:46):
It's super weird to hear like for some reason, Dick
Cheney seems to be one of those people where it's
like you feel like he's going to live forever because
of some sort of procedure he said done to like
his adrena chrome or it's like his robotic heart or something.
You know what I mean.

Speaker 1 (18:00):
Well, I mean he was. He was essentially the before
Trump came along. I would argue that Dick Cheney was
the most of the most evil in the eyes of
the people who didn't like the Republican administration, like I
think I feel like they they they considered Chaney more
evil than Bush. Would you agree with that?

Speaker 6 (18:18):
You remember when what Christian Bale played him, and yes,
he didn't look like Christian Bale, but they're like it.
They made it sound like, oh, Christian Bale is playing
Hitler or something. I mean, Cheney. It's crazy so evil.

Speaker 1 (18:29):
All right, hold on, let me actually text this to you. Yeah, him,
and then you remember the third pillar of evil. In
the administration. All right, I just texted that.

Speaker 6 (18:38):
That would be Donald Rumsfeld.

Speaker 1 (18:40):
Oh no, no, no, no, uh oh, well then I guess
the fourth pillar of evil. I forgot all the pillars.
Now you need four pillars to build a house of evil, right,
didn't you just build a room? How many corners are there?

Speaker 6 (18:53):
There's four?

Speaker 1 (18:54):
There you go? So who was fourth? Carl Rove? Remember,
all right, Carl Rove, Donald Rumsfeld.

Speaker 6 (19:02):
Back when he was relevant.

Speaker 1 (19:03):
See Bush, Bush was the guy where he was either
evil or stupid, which is the standard practice.

Speaker 6 (19:09):
Right.

Speaker 1 (19:09):
He was either my pet goat or he was you know,
the Phil Hartman doing that Reagan bit on SNL, which
is still one of my favorite SNL skits. So they
have Reagan in the Oval office and they like bring
a girl scout in and he's you know, he's aw
shucks Reagan, right, and then the moment he leaves the room,
he's screaming like a maniacal dictator at his staff for

(19:30):
plans to murder all the Sandinistas or something like that.
That that was the portrayal there. But with Dick Cheney,
it was all evil, all the time, all plotting, all
four d chests. They hated him.

Speaker 6 (19:43):
But it's still the same way. I haven't read the
old bit because you know what they've done with George Bush,
where it's like suddenly they're like, why can't we go
back to the George W. Bush days? Yeah, because ye
love them so far, you know, that's what we want.
But that's where we are because the guy, because it
is Cheney, was he still considered evil. I don't think
he was.

Speaker 1 (20:00):
Well that was that was the thing that changed, all right.
So here is from the actual little bit, even though
they didn't update the date, and I just texted this
to you, says Richard Cheney, the forty sixth President of
the United States, died last night in November third. His
family said in a statement he was eighty four. His
beloved wife Lynn like, by the way I happened to
you know, I have a little more than the average

(20:22):
bare knowledge of the early Cheney's because the Cheneys were
a bit of an institution where I grew up, right. So,
Dick Cheney, he represented Wyoming in the in the House.
At one point he was out of Casper, Wyoming, long
before he moved to the big spread out there in Jackson.
And obviously, you know I had two daughters, Liz, and

(20:45):
then you had Mary too. And remember his one other
daughter was a lesbian and they made a big deal
about that. Ah, he must hate her. It's just see,
I bet he doesn't even talk to her. That really
wasn't the case. A lot of people in Wyoming saw
the Cheney's as cause players. I'm not trying to be

(21:08):
negative on this, I'm just giving you I'm just explaining
how Native Wyoming Knights viewed the cheneye. I mean, there
was a lot of positive there, but there were a
lot of people that just didn't trust the Cheneys, well,
specifically Dick. I've actually interviewed his wife Lynn. I thought
she was very nice, but because she was a surrogate

(21:28):
for the reelection and Carl Rove man as evil as
they thought Carl Rove was. Carl Rove is a pretty
incredible story. This dude. He's just a journeyman who just
bounced around, never really finished college, but had a really
sharp analytical mind for politics. You know, It's just like
some of those things where you can kind of plug
and play into something and you just get it. And

(21:49):
even if he thought he was evil, the guy was
really good at what he did, really good at what
he did. So they did get the statement there, and
then they go back to talk about out served as
the youngest White House chief of staff. He was Gerald
Ford's chief of staff US House of Representatives. He was
a two time cabinet official, Vice President of the United

(22:11):
States and CEO of Halliburton. Uh yes, Evil Halliburton.

Speaker 5 (22:19):
Dude.

Speaker 1 (22:19):
I think I've told this story on the air. He's
probably he might even be listening. So I gotta I
got a radio buddy who m who does conservative talk radio.
And he he married his lovely wife and they had
a brood of of wonderful children. And uh he was
he was at the time. He was broadcasting in Houston

(22:42):
and that's where Halliburton is. And but his in laws
were big libs. His his his mother in law is
a huge, huge, like diehard lib gee. And I've met
her and and and like that's her politics. She wasn't.
She didn't strike me as like crazy, mean or anything,

(23:03):
just to be clear, but that was her politics. And
so he thought it was hilarious when they had the
family Christmas photo done to go take it in front
of the gates at Haliburton. For that to his in laws,
you know who went pictures of the grandkids, and here
they are in front of the Haliburton gate. I believe

(23:25):
that's I believe that is an accurate rendition. I don't know.
Christmas is the one thing I can't remember if it
was Christmas or if it was just a photo but
just trolling man. But yeah, all that Halliburton stuff. Oh yeah,
big energy company in Texas. But they had a lot
of contracts, military contracts and stuff. When terrorist attacked the

(23:46):
US on September eleventh, two thousand and one, it was
Chainey who first took charge. Because remember, George Bush is
down reading with kids. He's down doing his thing.

Speaker 6 (23:56):
He says.

Speaker 1 (23:56):
When the President came on the line, I told him
the Pentagon had been hit, urgent to stay away from Washington.
This is from Cheney's memoir. The city was under attack
and the White House was a target. Yeah, I'm sure
they ducked Cheney out to what's the facility up in
Pennsylvania called or maybe they were still doing the one

(24:17):
in West Virginia at the time. I don't know, but yeah,
I'm sure they scadaddled him to one of those super bunkers.
But anyway, there you go. So Dick Cheney dead at
the age of eighty four, breaking news this Tuesday morning,
six forty four. Back in a few actually, just in
the celebrity deaths, there are actually two this morning. I

(24:39):
just noticed this. Diane Ladd has passed away too. So
two of the three, if you're into the trifecta thing,
have been achieved this morning. Diane Ladd. Most people, even
if you don't know who Diane Ladd is, you know
Diane Ladd's daughter. I promise that Laura Dern, Laura Dern

(25:03):
from the original Jurassic Park, that Laura Dern and lots
of other things. But Diane Ladd, she passed away. It
was late yesterday. Look at the date on this article,
all right, so yeah, this was yesterday evening. She So,
Diane Ladd was in Chinatown. Alista doesn't live here anymore.

(25:24):
And actually I think there's a little factoid with Ladd
and Dern, her daughter as being like the only I
want to say, the only parent child nominees for an
Academy Award in the same movie, I believe, if I'm accurate,
which has only been done with the Fondas up to
that point. Henry and Jane fron Golden Pond. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,

(25:48):
So actually I did it twice. I did not realize
that Ladd was Oscar nominated three times, and then Dern
and we're nominated for Wild at Heart and Ramblin Rose. Okay,
all right, that's pretty impressive and it's kind of interesting.

(26:09):
So Lad was a copa girl, yes, that the copa cabana, you'll,
I guess setting them up in Good Fellas there, But
she was one of the staged answers and then went
to the theater and then the movies and there you go.
Had a pretty long career. But yeah, so she has

(26:29):
passed away. How old? Sorry, I'm having a speed read
articles eighty nine? She was eighty nine, all right, six
fifty two this morning, just a recap, I guess if
you're just wiping the sleep out of your eyes. We
found out this morning that about twenty minutes ago that
Dick Cheney is dead at the age of eighty four.
I'm sure. Oh, is it worth going over to Blue

(26:55):
Sky today to see what that looks like? I don't know.
I'll bet that girl who thought that the dude from
Princess Bride was only the actor from Young Sheldon that
we talked about earlier. She probably has no idea who
Dick Cheney is, so maybe that wouldn't be the spot
to go check it out. And I also realized, so
not only did the guy from Princess Bride pass away,

(27:23):
but he or not passed away. Excuse me, I was
canvassing the other dude, Mandy Pantinkin from the I guess
the Three Bandits or whatever you want to call them.
He was canvassing the other day for Zorn. So that's
two of the three. Andre the Giant clearly would be
the third. He's not canvassing for anybody. I would like

(27:44):
to think Andre the Giant would be an effective canvasser. Though.
If Andre the Giant shows up to your door and
tells you who to vote for, do you tell you
can't tell him no? Right? You'd be like, oh, yes,
I mean you may lie to him, just get him
off your stupe man. But he's probably gonna be a
lot more convincing to vote than the VIZENI or whatever

(28:10):
the guy's what was his character's name, the Zini right anyway,
Wallace Sean is the actor, but the dude who died
from the IOK powder Yeah, VIZENI I'm just so, I
just want to look it up here. Yeah, you're probably
gonna listen to whatever he has to say. And then
of course Andre the Giant unable to canvass and he

(28:33):
was fezik, what dude, why do I remember that? And
I could not remember the name of one of our
salespeople that or not one of our one of the
salespeople that I worked with for ten years, not one
of our current ones here but in Minneapolis when I
was having a conversation the other day. But I know
the character names from Princess Bride. It is the human
The human brain is amazing, all right, phone number eight

(28:57):
eight eight nine three four seven eight seven. Today is
going to be interesting, not just because you know, you
got all the voting stuff it if I had to handicap,
I think probably for Virginia listeners. I don't know. I
don't know if Sears can pull it off up there. Now.

(29:20):
The polling's the polling, obviously, but the amount of money
that's being spent up in Virginia is is very outsized,
and they just threw a bunch more money at it.
From the left perspective, I just don't I don't understand
how you spend ten minutes watching Spanburger and not be
creeped out by her. Like it's not even an ideas thing.

(29:42):
I just mean from a personality standpoint, she just I
don't know, it's it's like that that one of those
thousand yard stairs. But clearly she hasn't seen anything. I
know she was a former CIA person, but you understand
what I'm saying, Like there's just no connection that she
makes out there. Seers seems to connect with people. But

(30:05):
you have what's going on up in DC, and there
are a lot of people up up in DC and
how it impacts Virginia's what I should say. Because you
have so many people in northern Virginia who are are
impacted by this government shutdown. There are some who think
that one of the motivations to not settle this and
the part of Democrats was to whip people into a frothy,

(30:26):
foamy frenzy so that they would turn out more effectively
for Democrat politicians. Right, we need something if they're going
to keep it shut down. They're looking at other states
where Democrat governors have stepped forward and started, you know,
offering to spend money that a lot of them don't have,
but they're going to spend it anyway, and they want

(30:46):
that for themselves because they live in Virginia even though
they work in the district. So that's what you get
over in the conspiratorial side of things. But I you know,
the stuff that we see, the stricty that's out there,
you start to ask yourself, what is that about? The
other thing is and they keep harping on the fact

(31:07):
that it's the Medicare extensions, Medicaid extensions, But you know,
the thing that they want to reopen the government from
a Democrat bargaining perspective also is to refund, not refund,
but redash fund a bunch of these NGOs, And you
got to ask yourself, why is this a hill that

(31:29):
you want to die on? Because anytime somebody starts reading
the list, like we're gonna do you know, trans Opera
in Colombia was one of them. Like I could try
to make up words, but I don't have to. Some
of the stuff we were spending money on is crazy
and it's deeply unpopular. Like if you pull just on
those things, it cuts across both political parties about why

(31:52):
we're doing that. So you have to ask yourself, would
why would Democrat politicians up in Washington want to die
on the hill? And then it just like, here's where
the conspiracy starts churning, because, in my mind, the only
logical explanation why you would put everything on the line.
Do you hate everything about George Bush? You're probably weirdly

(32:12):
happy And I don't even want to see what you're
gonna write on social media today. Former Vice President Dick
Cheney passed away overnight at the age of eighty four.
Couple things just real quick. I know we just kind
of touched on this, but recapping for the seven am
alarmers his obit where I saw an ABC News They're

(32:37):
ready to go story. Actually they forgot changed the dates,
so they've had something cooking at least since twenty thirteen,
which is not surprising high profile people. Pretty common for
news outlets to do that, especially ones who are getting older.
The health issues because Cheney he had multiple heart attacks,

(32:59):
I believe, Yeah, he had at least one heart attack
and then he had like big bypass surgery. I know
he had to have more than one. I'm almost positive,
but like so he you know, he had some health
issues clearly earlier in life. But yeah, so he is
dead at the age of eighty four this morning. That

(33:20):
breaking about thirty minutes ago. So if you're just getting up,
you got that to consider for your news. All right.
A couple other things. Yesterday there was a lot of
very interesting and also on like Sunday, very interesting journalism
going on as it pertains to what the FBI said

(33:42):
was a thwarted terror attack or terror plot up in Michigan,
up in Dearborn, Michigan. And I saw headlines. In fact,
I think we had one in the stack yesterday where
let me find this real quick. Sorry, I got distracted
by the breaking news because you know, eighty e we
are around here. Ummmm, So we had the We had

(34:06):
one of the lawyers for one of the guys sitting
here saying that it was much ado about nothing. All right,
let me open it up right here. Do do do do? Do?

Speaker 7 (34:17):
Do?

Speaker 1 (34:17):
Do do do? They were actually opened in a timely manner.
I must email it to myself. Basically, the thing said
that a lawyer say that it's none of it's true.
It didn't happen. They just made it up, and then
outlets just ran with that that a lawyer for one

(34:40):
of the people who's being accused of being part of
a terror plot that the FBI just made it up
because they went and apparently they aukhams raisored this thing
and decided that the director of the FBI, along with
several different investigators, just made up wholesale a plot. Now
I understand that that you should be curious because we

(35:03):
are given, you know, innocent til proven guilty. There have
been some questionable activities about how far and how much
some FBI investigations will insert themselves into things. See the
Gretchen Whitmer kidnapping plot, where it's like there's like two

(35:24):
or three actual dudes and like nine FBI agents and
or sources that were part of that thing, which some
people thought was a little problematic. So I want the details,
but to just run with the fact that a lawyer
who has a vested interest in not getting his client
convicted said this and not at least try to balance

(35:45):
it was just it's just journalistic malpractice. So with that
in mind, yesterday afternoon they started dropping some details. So
let me share some of these with you. I'm not
going to go all of them, but I feel like
the lawyer maybe getting a little ahead of himself here.

(36:09):
So here's the headline. DOJ releases treasure trove of details
about Halloween massacre being planned by Jahatis in Detroit. And yeah,
they're using the term Jahatis there. And you'll understand why
here in a moment. So there are two named individuals.
There are three unnamed individuals, at least one or two

(36:30):
one definitely probably two and maybe three. The reason we
don't have names is not necessarily because they're sources one
of the third one might be, but because they're juveniles,
because I saw people going, well, those three are obviously
FBI agents. No, they say in the filing documents they

(36:51):
don't have the name for one because it's a juvenile,
and the second one they kind of intimate at that
third one I don't know. Might be a juvenile, might
be uh, might be somebody who's a source, might be
an agent, I don't know, but probably not. Okay, here
we go, So there's a there's a lot to take
in here. So let me let me just this is

(37:12):
from the special Agent in charge of the investigation. His
name is Nicholas check. He said in August and September
of twenty twenty five, around the same time as the
third party discussions referencing an attack to be carried out,
and this is so legally he's by person one and
but again the person one or two are Mohammed Ali,

(37:35):
not that Muhammad Ali, though a younger one who's still alive.
And my head mah Mood. I think that's how it's pronounced,
the first name, so that when you hear one and two,
that's what you're talking about. They purchased a shotgun, an
AR fifteen style rifle, multiple firearm accessories, including a forced

(37:56):
reset trigger that's gonna pick up your shooting speed on
a semi automatic AR let's see here. Then also an
AR fifty, another AR fifteen style rifle, multiple firearm accessories,
sixteen hundred rounds of ammunition. Now, I would point out
that that paragraph in and of itself is not an

(38:17):
indictment of anything. I think there's probably a bunch of
you listening who got sixteen hundred rounds of ammo? Do
you have multiple firearms? You probably have sixteen hundred rounds
of AMMO. I know, as scary as that sounds to
people who aren't gun people, but I probably you can.
By twenty two, you can buy twenty two by the
thousand round bucket. This is not uncommon. Okay. That being said,

(38:41):
they're you at the two they name. There are US
citizens who did not have felony criminal records, and they're
in Michigan, so they also had firearm purchase permits. So again,
not inherent they didn't do anything inherently illegal. I don't
know how the the the reset trigger with what exactly
that how that works, I don't know. But that being said,

(39:05):
I apologize now all the gun guys are going to
be mad at me. I'm not sure, and I don't
know how it works in Michigan versus federal or any
of the rest of it. So that being said, inherently
there's nothing illegal about that portion of the story. They're
American citizens, they're not felons. They had the purchase permits.
They can go out and buy the stuff. So if
it was just that, I would say that the FBI

(39:27):
is going to have to bring a lot more to
this party. Then they document about how much training, the
gun ranges, the type of training that they were doing.
They were doing like tactical gunfighter kind of stuff. Again,
nothing inherently illegal. I do this, and I've done this,
and some of you probably do this every weekend. From
a competitive standpoint, I've seen you guys down at thirty

(39:49):
seven and some of the other ranges. It can be fun. Again,
nothing inherently illegal. Here's where we get into the part
where there's going to be some splaining to So during
a group call, participants discussed traveling overseas to join one
of the co conspirators and then later traveled together to

(40:11):
Syria to join ISIS. They discussed doing this. They did
not all travel, however, one of them did. And the
way that you trap, by the way, here's how you
get into Syria to go hang out with ISIS. And
it's a pattern we've seen in multiple In fact, we
were referencing last week the women in the UK who

(40:31):
went to go marry the ISIS fighters. They took the
same travel route. And I want to say the American
Taliban guy did actually enter through. They all go through
Turkey because Turkey then you can get over there and
then to get after to get into Afghanistan some other
places there were ways to pass through from Turkey as well.

(40:52):
So that's what one of these guys did. In the
At one point in the conversation they stated that they
had tried to convince Athari and Bukaris. They're using code
names to travel, but Athari and Bucari, so they were
going to stay back and do this quote same thing
as France. Okay, so they're now referencing a very specific

(41:16):
attack in France that was a tactical assault. Well, they've
had a couple. They had the niche truck thing, but
then you had the attack on the cartoonists and the
paper over there. The same thing as France was referring
in this case to the November thirteenth, twenty fifteen ISIS
attack in Paris. So they because they had referenced it too.

(41:36):
These guys also, I guess we're doing some of this
co conspiracy while they were playing first person shooter stuff,
and so I guess they might have been monitoring that
connection there. So we talk about launching a domestic terror
strike from within the US. During the call, co conspirator

(41:57):
one asked if another member of the group was going
to travel with them to Turkey. It's what I was
just pointing about. But he sayss getting too risky because
and I don't want to say anything on this call,
but there's going to be brothers doing something else while
we go a nice surprise. That's all I'm gonna say.
So once that happens, the moment that happens, if I'm
still here, then things are gonna There's a lot of

(42:18):
stuff going to be going on. The FBI indictment claims
stuff going to be happening equals carrying out a terrorist attack.
And so they started, you know, really really diving into this,
and they started to get more details. They'd started digging emails.
There was money that was being literally sent from Syria

(42:40):
to the United States to further purchase more tactical things
like hollow sites like an eotech holow site, fast mounts,
all sorts of stuff, right, things that tactically they feel
that they need to carry out this attack. There's grip, flashlights, lasers. Again,
most of these are fine, most of these are perfectly legal.

(43:02):
But the FBI, when money's being sent from a known
terrorist destination to purchase these things, you're having these types
of conversations. Yeah, yeah, they're probably uh wait, one of
them purchased an M four a d a d D
M four Dude, that's like those how much of those

(43:24):
Daniel defenses? Like it's like two k minimum, all right,
and so they were they were tactical, ready to go.
They got money flowing in. They're referencing previous terror attacks,
and they're talking about timelines, and one of them's traveling
over there trying to get at least one or two
others to travel with him. All right, now, here's okay.

(43:49):
So they also it sounds like that's interesting. So the
firearm manufacturers in each case did confirm the purchases, and
one of them actually flagged one of the purchases as
reported them independent of the investigation. Okay, so there was
something there. It doesn't say exactly what that it was sniffed.
Bedroom agents then executed a search warrant on the morning

(44:11):
of Halloween, stopping the attack just hours before it was planned.
And so there's a bunch of other real technical details there.
But that's the gist of it. So if you see
this reporting that there's nothing there as the lawyers saying
these because they're trying to play it off like this,
they're saying, these guys were just having conversations and first

(44:33):
person shooters about all this stuff, but they were talking
about in the game is the excuse. So that doesn't
track with what the DOJ documents say. But you know,
until they present it in court and they can prove it.
But it sounds like there's a lot more than just

(44:54):
some gamer dudes using language that people misunderstood. Okay nineteen
phone number eight eight eight nine three four seven eight
seven four. Uh, just what's just a reiteration of what
a great country this is? Telling you man that you
can literally become a half billionaire over a food that

(45:17):
you and I and probably everyone listening have eaten. It's
pretty amazing and it's and he didn't even patent it.
What a great country this is. I'll share that story
with you. Coming up. Lots more to get into it
is seven twenty hang on Bobert, but more of an
ooh anyway, because her and her theater boyfriend, what's that

(45:42):
guys name, Kyle Percy's I think he's a real estate
agent out in like Loveland or something. They attended a
Halloween party. Oh, it was in It was in Loveland,
so there I was correct. And they had one of
those couple's costumes, which ugh, couples dressing together. What's creepier
Halloween couple's costumes? Or when couples go on vacation and

(46:07):
they wear like the same outfit. I don't know, I
just find it weird. Maybe the Halloween's less weird. However,
it's what their costume was. So she's dressed as a
She's wearing like a traditional Mexican village dress, right, I mean,
I don't know how to describe it more accurate than that.

(46:27):
She's got a sombrero on, and he's dressed as an
ice agent. So ABC News there's a big panicky article here,
the congresswoman donning a traditional Mexican dress with a sombrero
while Percy wore an ice vest. Over fatigues. What was

(46:49):
this the chalkboard sign that appeared in other photos from
a separate public event the couple attended the same night. Oh,
here we go. The text on the sign, which appears
to be a joke mocking the pronunciation of uc said
Mexican word of the day juicy. Tell me if Juicy
ice coming. That is a meme. There's a whole series.

(47:11):
And by the way, the guy who does the series,
the Mexican Word of the Day series is a Mexican
American dude. I'm not gonna go city by city, but
if you go, oh, I don't know if we have
any of my city today. You should. You should check.
So go ahead and check, and then you know, maybe
uh maybe go do that vote thing or or have

(47:32):
some bond passed and pay for that, or let some
lunatic get an office, or you know whatever, because you're busy.
There you got a little scolding for you. Uh, let's
see here. Oh yeah, yeah, yeah, I was good at Marjorie.
By the way, I just I noticed this in a shameless,

(47:53):
shameless effort to pump up our our global our global
Twitter rank, which apparently is now a thing you can
look up, because I saw everybody throwing this up yesterday.
They're like, you can go see your rank out of
the top ten million Twitter accounts. And it's not just
follower numbers. I think they take into account various interactions, right, comments, retweets,

(48:19):
you know, all all the all the the ways in
which people can interact with your tweets counts towards that.
What do you think the show one is? I did
look it up. What do you do? What do you
guestimate the show one is out of the top ten million?
What is our show rank? Mid three hundred thousands, I

(48:39):
should say three hundred and twenty thousand, So you know
we could pump those numbers up. So to do that,
we have shamelessly retweeted Ross baby pictures on the on
the Twitter account at Casey on the radio. That should
get us over the three hundred thousand hump. So go
stare at Ross's baby in utero. Dude, Like the three

(49:02):
the three D baby scan is just mind blowing to me, man,
because like, sonograms are sonograms, but whatever this thing is, now,
do they just do that with the same sonogram thing
or is the scan different? Do they just have a
little wand they rub around on the woman's belly like
with a sonogram.

Speaker 6 (49:22):
I know it's done exactly the same.

Speaker 1 (49:24):
Exactly the same, and you get those photos. That's amazing.

Speaker 6 (49:26):
You know what it's crazy too, is like, so we
have the older people in my family up in New York, Yeah,
and they're all like this is insane, Like this is incredible.

Speaker 7 (49:35):
Yeah.

Speaker 6 (49:35):
My uncle Danny yesterday on Facebook was like if this
I can't even imagine, this is like a possible How
is this even possible? You can see your kid before
it comes out, like it's a perfect photo.

Speaker 1 (49:43):
Your kid really likes eating his foot.

Speaker 6 (49:45):
Dude, So he would not stop sucking his hand.

Speaker 1 (49:48):
Oh is in his hand or his foot? I had
a hard type of telling him, but ohkay.

Speaker 6 (49:51):
Typically the session is like ten minutes long to take these,
like you know, baby photos. You're right, yeah, but she
gave us an extra ten to fifteen minutes because the
kid we was sucking his whole whole hand, like his
whole hand in his mouth.

Speaker 1 (50:03):
All right, well, hey, like he's got a lot to
do in there, right, yeah, you gotta entertain yourself.

Speaker 6 (50:08):
But then he was switching up with the with the feet.
He's like, now now it's time for my feet.

Speaker 1 (50:12):
Hey man, you got a cat that eats plastic, a
kid who eats his toes and fingers, what are you
gonna do? Everybody's hungry around that his household. Yeah, so
if you want to go see there's like four photos
that we retweeted on there. Uh, you can go. You
can go look at those and so that we can
shamelessly build our numbers up. That'd be great. Thank you.
All right, back to Marjorie Taylor Green, so again she's

(50:33):
gonna be on the view today. It's very interesting to
see the way the public perception of Himpty i've i've,
I just going to irritate some of you. She's always
kind of annoyed me. Sorry, that just is what it is.
It doesn't mean that she's necessarily wrong on everything, but
it's just like and then like she's now she's in

(50:56):
this weird Trump feud and she's everywhere. Oh I'll call
to Trump feud. But like now all of a sudden,
they're putting her on everything. They're gonna have her on
the View. That's the only reason these these you know,
the cackling hens of the View one are on. They
want her to come on and say mean things about
Trump or other Republicans, Mark by words. That's the motivation.

(51:20):
That's what's going on here. But she was doing another show,
and uh, she's got a theory, interesting theory. Here's Marjorie
Taylor Green, uh talking about by the way, this is

(51:40):
on Bill Maher's show, by the way, talking about aliens
and what they actually might be right both of there
in the movie. Yeah, and a lot more came out
and there's a lot more people who are on board now,
very very serious people. I think it's a serious issue.

Speaker 7 (51:58):
Yeah, I'd love to know more about it, but we're
not told anything about it.

Speaker 2 (52:02):
In the film, one of the senior Tellness officials named
Jay Stratton. He was the director of Air and Space
Warfare at the Defense Intelligence Agency and then he ran
the US government's UAP task Force.

Speaker 1 (52:14):
He tells them, I just want to be clear, they're
talking about aliens the government, you know, with the aliens
that from the Navy videos and a variety of other things.
Movie references.

Speaker 2 (52:22):
All this is all about a story about how he
was trying to run this issue up the flagpole and
bring attention to it at De Pentagon in a serious
office space, and his superiors told him that they thought
these things were demons and that he was doing the
devil's work by looking into it. And on camera in

(52:43):
the film he says, I can't believe these words were coming.

Speaker 1 (52:45):
Out of their mouths.

Speaker 2 (52:46):
He's like, I'm briefing them on an advanced aerospace vehicle
that's absolutely there. It's been spotted by trade observers like
our Navy fighter pilots, and they're eighty million dollars airplanes
that we trust them with, right. It's been spotted on
data collection systems like Satelle and radar.

Speaker 6 (53:01):
And this guy's telling me it's a demon.

Speaker 1 (53:03):
It's insane, and.

Speaker 2 (53:04):
And he's like, my mind was blown and this is
something I'm dealing with inside of the government.

Speaker 1 (53:09):
It's Halloween.

Speaker 5 (53:11):
Let me just ask the final questions for the panel.

Speaker 1 (53:13):
Do you think demons and the devil are real? Absolutely?
I'm a Bible believing Christian.

Speaker 3 (53:18):
I definitely, and I believe those could be fallen angels.

Speaker 1 (53:22):
All these things could be fallen angels.

Speaker 8 (53:24):
Yeah, the aliens are fallen angel that's possible.

Speaker 7 (53:27):
I think that's what they could be.

Speaker 1 (53:28):
That's what And I don't think it's clocking with mar
when she says fallen angels, that that's demons. So I
have not fallen down the aliens are actually a demon's
rabbit hole, I don't Is that a deep rabbit hole?
Is that how I should entertain my hopefull later today,
if I have some free time. I'm sure there's some
YouTube videos, probably not even all of an AI slop

(53:51):
out there, so we will We'll have to find out.
So she stayed out so right off that she's going
to be on the on the View today, mark my word,
and I will pull some audio with the if it's
interesting that I think the main goal is going to
be them trying to get her to saving things about Trump,
and then I'm sure they go after her as well.

(54:11):
And it's not like she can't handle herself on there.
I don't know if she can handle herself without swearing.
So there will be that but yellow potty mouse sometimes,
but it's it's not it's gonna be awkward, I guess
would be the best way to say it. So we'll
be uh, we'll be standing by with that, all right.
Coming up on the show, I was talking about this

(54:33):
this guy who just listen, here's the headline, frozen burrito
inventor dead at eighty eight. So I guess maybe this
is our celebrity trifecta. You have Diane Ladd passed away,
Dick Cheney passed away, and now the guy who invented
frozen burritos. My question is, how do you invent frozen burritos?

(54:54):
I mean that's like is that a pant something you
put a patent on because you just froze of food
that previously existed. I will say this, he made a
crap ton of money off of him, like an obscene
amount of money, and I probably gave him a bunch
of these because you know, you go through that period
in your life where frozen burritos are fine dining. Rased

(55:17):
agic from the Weather Channel, he would agree frozen burritos
find dining?

Speaker 6 (55:22):
Is that?

Speaker 1 (55:23):
Is that, in fact what we would consider find Honey, I'm.

Speaker 9 (55:27):
Thinking two three in the morning, maybe during a study
session a college or just after.

Speaker 1 (55:34):
Yeah, then you could bougie them up if you had
some good hots a salsa, right, and just make a
smothered burrito there, and it was a lot safer. Here's
what I'd say, the less chance of burning your house
down at three in the morning, Yes, then putting the
pizza in the oven, passing out and waking up to
the smoke alarm?

Speaker 9 (55:54):
Did you just throw it in the microwave and not
even put it on a plate or a paper towel?

Speaker 1 (56:00):
What the I'm sorry? Do they need plates?

Speaker 5 (56:02):
No?

Speaker 9 (56:02):
How rich were you in college? And that's one thousand
percent my point. Yeah, that that is my whole point.
My point is just threw it in the microwave and
just it.

Speaker 1 (56:13):
Made it then would imbue its flavors into everything else.

Speaker 9 (56:17):
You microw everything with the grease that would lead yes, yes, yeah,
the mac and cheese that was dripping off the top
from the night before.

Speaker 1 (56:26):
Maybe I'll tell you, you know what, you just brought
something up. I'm gonna let me tell you, and you're
gonna be so mad you didn't think of this. Make
mac and cheese and then you could take a frozen burrito,
nu kid with the beef like to be the ground
beef ones, chop it up, mix it into your mac
and cheese.

Speaker 9 (56:45):
Oh yeah, I'll try to up you by one and
say what if you took the mac and cheese and
froze it after you cooked it?

Speaker 1 (56:55):
And they claimed to have invented the frozen mac and cheese.
This guy made a hundred No, he made one hundred
million dollars in like the fifties off when he started
frozen burritos.

Speaker 9 (57:09):
Well, listen, I'm not anywhere in that. I want to
make a million and that's it and then it can
the fad can go away. So you think I've got
something there.

Speaker 1 (57:17):
I don't know. Yeah, mac and cheese, ice cream, whatever
you want to call it.

Speaker 9 (57:22):
No, you freeze it and then you see it, man,
whatever I.

Speaker 1 (57:25):
Think you fee. So you can buy frozen mac and cheese.

Speaker 6 (57:30):
Man, that's right.

Speaker 1 (57:30):
You can just go over where the where the TV
dinners stopped. He's just frozen mac and cheese.

Speaker 9 (57:35):
Oh I forgot. You can get the thing in the nuts, right,
I was saying, you'll make.

Speaker 1 (57:39):
It the you can get the mac and cheese from
the the Oh cheesecake factory in a box at the
grocery store. I think I have it at Harristeater.

Speaker 6 (57:47):
So orn good stuff right there.

Speaker 7 (57:50):
All right?

Speaker 1 (57:51):
Anyway, now then everybody's starving to death. Yeah, you beautiful man.

Speaker 9 (57:56):
Cool mornings, warmer afternoons, big changes coming early next week,
but until we get there, a little bit sixties today,
upper sixties, low seventies tomorrow, and lots of sunshine, a
little breezy tomorrow. But other than that, feeling pretty good
even Thursday Friday minupper sixties, back to maybe seventy degrees
over the weekend. Just a beautiful run of weather here,

(58:17):
like jackets in the morning, might need a jacket in
the afternoon, and then we'll get a stronger front to command.

Speaker 1 (58:21):
And by Monday we're early in a little.

Speaker 9 (58:23):
Bit fifties, so big cool down coming early next week.
Enjoy the next several days, going to be real nice.

Speaker 1 (58:29):
Okay, all right, thank you, sir, Get back to your lab.
Maybe come up with another idea.

Speaker 9 (58:34):
Okay, I am failed on that one.

Speaker 1 (58:36):
Sorry, man. This is why we have pitch meetings like
this race stage there for the Weather Channel. All right, callers,
hang on, we'll grab some calls. Next, you grab a
couple of phone calls. Folks been hanging on. We'll start
with Anthony, Anthony, how you doing this morning?

Speaker 7 (58:51):
Real good? So my wife's pregnant too, And we didn't
do that whole scam thing, but I got I got
a few questions. So we can see stuff on the
rover on Mars, right, and we can see it. Maybe
that clear. Somebody's got to explain my prostate exams.

Speaker 1 (59:09):
Well they have they have a I believe they have
one now where they don't have to uh turn you
into a lollipop, sir. I'm not super familiar with it though.

Speaker 7 (59:22):
Yeah. Well, like I said, that must must got start
working on something. Yeah, you're making everything else there just
might make prospect great man.

Speaker 1 (59:30):
It's a high priority right there. So yeah, honestly, it's
one of the two things. It's one of the two
things that most surprises me because you know, a lot
of times, uh, you know, invention is a necessity, drives
that and you would think that a bunch of dudes
who didn't even just to avoid having to drink all
that stuff, although maybe you couldn't avoid that, would it

(59:50):
would get around to it? Yeah, the baby photos say,
I don't know. I don't have kids, man, I so
I don't like like so I just when when I
saw Ross's fire like I hadn't seen those in the past,
but since it's Rossi's kid, I was really looking at them.
The details amazing on it. But yeah, I'm not the
right person to ask on any of the baby stuff.

(01:00:10):
I just figured I only recently figured out that pregnant
women don't like being referred to as Russian nesting dolls.
Who knew? I don't understand how that's offensive. But she
wasn't pleased. So yes, I was told later because she's
a girl, the girl having a girl, and she was
super excited, and I'm like, oh, you're like a Russian

(01:00:31):
nesting doll. No, they don't want to hear that. You're
learning it here first, Jamal, what's up?

Speaker 5 (01:00:40):
Hey, j see what's going on? And yes, those pictures
are beautiful Ross poster. But let me say this real quick, kJ,
I want Marjorie Taylor Green and those Republicans to take
a look at what they did to Dick Chane and
what they're doing to him now. They have celebrated his desk,
the same Democrat who was call let's have Liz change
on the show. Lee, you're such a good Republican. He
was a strong Republican and your daddy was a show.

(01:01:04):
We may not agree with him, but he was as
strong as his principals. To come at Donald Trump the
same one a laugh and celebrate bck Cheney of the
devil Dick Traney. Eve, Dick Cheney was evil. Now I
don't like Dick Chaney because I remember what he said
about Republicans and especially Donald Trump as maga. So I'm
not gonna sit here and be like, you know, skip
the little or I'm not gonna be supposed to say,

(01:01:25):
oh lord channel, I ain't gonna be doing that either,
but I want this. China should see now she was
a useful idiot. They done found the new flavor, which
is Marjorie Taylor Green. Now because now they're boost her
up like they did, Liz Cheney gets shaking. Oh yeah,
we may disagree with you, but your you had your

(01:01:46):
principles and and all that blah blah blah Ki saying that,
and this is just a example to every Republican who
sits there inside with Democrats what they really feel about
you when you die, when you're not useful.

Speaker 1 (01:02:02):
Yeah, I don't think anyone can deny that. Liz Cheney
and clearly my felt you know, my fellow hometown brethren
had no use for Liz Chaney during the UH during
that last election. They she was roundly rejected. But yeah,
putting her on the UH, putting her on the committee
with all that stuff. And you know there's lots lots
of folks like that.

Speaker 5 (01:02:23):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (01:02:23):
What do you think of the Marjorie Taylor Green going
on with the hens of the View today?

Speaker 5 (01:02:28):
You know what she's like, I said, Remember, Liz Chaney
did the exact same thing. So we you know, we disagreed.
We disagree with you, but we understand your principles. Long
the field principals is demeaning Donald Trump and what she
was saying about demons and follow angels, which she was
talking about, people don't understand follow angels on jail in

(01:02:51):
change because you read the Book of Jew when God
kicked those the devil and those angels out. Those angels
are in change, and the scriptives who that they walk
in change waiting for judgment. They're not one in a
while here having sex and like a lot of people
believe they you know, have a thing giants. No, but

(01:03:12):
the Bible mentioned. The Bible mentioned aliens too. If you
people take notice. The Bible mentioned aliens because he asked Lucifer,
where had you been? He didn't tell Lucifer, oh, you
went to this place. No, he knew that.

Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
Don't want to streak Jamal. I got one just because
I got about a minute here. I have a story
in the staff. Pastor. This is a pastor in Orlando.
I'm assuming he's Episcopalian. Pastor defends your legal immigration by saying,
the Bible is a book about God saving us through immigration.
Is that, well, here's the time, Yeah.

Speaker 5 (01:03:47):
Yes, sir. And here's the thing. The Bible tells you
to obey laws and magistrates, and if the laws are
you cannot enter a country illegal mask the law. See,
that's why, that's why you do a lot of black
a lot of black creatures into who nus a pulpit
to push Democrat pop again? But a lot of them.
If you notice what the Simmons that will twist it.

(01:04:07):
When the scriptures tell you obey those magistrate from rabbl
over you, that means yes, even though you don't like,
unless they're telling you to worship them over God. But
if he's telling you no, you have to come in
the country legally, best scripture the scripture.

Speaker 1 (01:04:24):
Some might even argue that the whole Tower of Babbel
story probably points to the individual individual nation nature of nations,
but unfortunately out of time for that discussion. Thank you
very much for the call. Thanks for hanging out with
us this morning. Do you guys know who Caleb Hammer is?
If you don't know the name, you've probably seen his

(01:04:46):
little clips if you're on Twitter. I see him all
the time. So he's kind of he does like a
Dave Ramsey thing, although he's arguably a bit more aggressive.
So he has a very popular YouTube channel and people
come in who make the world's worse financial decisions, and
he is no holds barred, and I know the Dave
will get after you as well. And I think the

(01:05:08):
Dave Ramsey memes that I see you're pretty funny too,
where he's just sitting back judging but Hammer's a little
more aggressive. And then he'll do some interviews and there's
like some weird Like I saw a clip the other day.
He's interviewing this woman who's openly admitting to committing a
fraud against the State of Florida, which I, how dumb

(01:05:29):
are you? Basically her and her I don't know if
it's her husband. I just think they're they're partners. They
have a kid together, and she applied for free for
the State of Florida's free childcare. And but Caleb is
like digging, like this guy knows what's going on. He's

(01:05:50):
kind of a he's a you know, he's a pudgier
dude like me. He's got black hairy's younger guy glasses,
and he just like he is very good at getting
to the bottom of this stuff. And so he is
sitting there interviewing this check. And he broadcasts out of
Florida too, So he's interviewing this check and he's like,
wait a sec. So your household is clearing like one

(01:06:10):
hundred and thirty thousand or something coming in. How did
you qualify for free childcare? She's like, Oh, I just
didn't put his income on the application. And it's like,
I mean, clearly a lot of times they're interviewing stupid people.
And he's taken a lot of grief for it too,
Like he has been he has been deemed a fascist,
even though he's not super political, a fascist for simply,

(01:06:33):
you know, trying to explain to people why they're drowning
in debt or why they're making bad decisions, or telling
them that they need to be more responsible. Somehow, that's
fascistic behavior. As you know, that was Hitler's big thing.
He loved to go to people's houses and audit their budgets.
Overuse of that word is amazing. So anyway, so why

(01:06:56):
am I telling you this? Cauz He gets a sit
down interview with Gretchen Whitmer, the governor of Michigan, somebody
who's on the short list of people may run for
president next cycle, and arguably one of the absolute lunatics
of the COVID era. Like for everything we complain about

(01:07:18):
Roy Cooper, and there's a lot to complain about. For me,
it was the way he handled press conferences where they
literally filtered out questions they didn't want to answer and
claimed they had to from COVID. But really, it was
a program that was designed by a DNC operative. I
know the sounds conspiratorial. It's not where they would funnel
reporters from different publications or broadcast units into a different

(01:07:43):
different cues, right, And that's why it was all the
we love Roy Cooper reporters who got all the questions
and then any critical questions just never got asked. No, no, no no,
because they had up in Michigan. She went absolutely bonker.
She was one of the six stuffers, the box car
stuffers is call him, that were rapidly moving the old

(01:08:05):
folks right like Cuomo did up there, and it had
a huge detrimental effect on older people through the COVID
era there just stuffing them in there with COVID people.
Michigan did that too. But the craziest one, the one
that always gets brought up from Michigan, is the seeds
and the pictures in the walmart where they police taped

(01:08:27):
off everything, including seeds. They would not let you buy
seeds so that you could plant your own garden, which
arguably would then limit you having to go to the
grocery store. None of it made sense. Now she's in
that seat, I don't think she thinks because of what
this guy's channel is, that he's going to get into that.

(01:08:49):
But he used the she has not answered a lot
of questions on it. Well, now she's in the studio.
She can't just walk out. That would then be the story.
And so he's willing to go in and start highlighting
some of this. I would encourage you to watch the
whole thing. Here's just a taste of it.

Speaker 10 (01:09:05):
It's only going up COVID tuk a little bit.

Speaker 1 (01:09:07):
Okay, Oh, just to be clear, so I said he
broadcast in Florida. He's from Michigan. So he's talking about
his experience during COVID, two years of COVID, because Michigan
stayed on lockdown a long time. Going back for you know,
Thanksgiving and Christmas to see his family.

Speaker 10 (01:09:22):
It's only going up COVID tuk a little bit. I
was a little I'll be honest. I was a little
annoyed when I came home for Christmas two years in
a row. Like we had to eat outside, but we
were in inside pods outside. It was a little weird
that I came back here and then I could just
do whatever. Well, that was a bit weird. I'll be honest.

Speaker 1 (01:09:44):
Well, but remember what the what the temperature was here?
You can walk around outside allay, Right.

Speaker 8 (01:09:51):
In Michigan in the winter, we're all inside breathing on
each other.

Speaker 7 (01:09:55):
All right.

Speaker 1 (01:09:56):
Let me pause here because this is such a half
assed answer. Remember this is two years. This is eight
seasons that Michigan was pulling this crap, and for most
of the year in Michigan you can walk around outside.
It's fine. It's quite gorgeous, going up to northern Michigan,
up to Gaylord where they have all the big golf

(01:10:16):
courses out there, and Traverse City is some of the
most beautiful country in America. Beautiful, and I spent you
spent a lot of time outside fishing, playing golf, just
hanging out. So this is this is to pretend that
it's always the frozen tundras. A little dishonest, but anyway,
all right, so continue.

Speaker 10 (01:10:35):
If I was allowed to be inside outside, why couldn't
I just be inside inside?

Speaker 8 (01:10:39):
Because you were inside outside with just your your small group.

Speaker 1 (01:10:43):
Of people and servers and bussers. Listen, Caleb, none of
us wants to go back and relive that we were
doing the bus We could with very little or very
bad information. No, no, So this is this is why
I want to highlight it. This is what she's going
to run into. This is arguably what Roy Cooper should
be running into. But if she's running for president, this

(01:11:03):
is definitely definitely something that she's going to run into.
And that has really been her tact to then pretend
like nobody knew nothing, because that was we Look, we
broadcast all through the COVID area era. You listened all
through the COVID era, the everyone was telling you. And
there's there's tons of like montages of this, like with

(01:11:26):
MSNBC and others saying, if you take the vaccine, you
can't get COVID, you can't spread COVID, you can't. All
you gotta do is take it, and there's there's there's
piles of clips of people saying that and now everyone's protected. Well,
we like nobody knew anything, definitively, and I like they're
gonna pound her on this because she's never even attempted

(01:11:49):
to concoct an answer other than well, we didn't know, really,
you knew not to let people buy corn seats or
you know, squash or whatever they wanted to grow. No,
let me no tomato plant for you trying to murder grandma,
and she'll have to answer for all this stuff. Now
it'll be a little more difficult because the ABC, CBS,

(01:12:11):
and NBC's of the world are not going to pound
on this if she is one of the candidates for president,
but they should. And there was a lot more lunacy
up in Michigan, just like there was lunacy here in
North Carolina and of various other places. So I don't
think she was expecting it, and you could tell she's

(01:12:33):
annoyed by it, but the questions are not going to stop.
Be good on Hammer for getting into it, because he's
not there to talk to her about her finances. He's
there to talk to her is I don't even know
what the premise was. Maybe he just wanted to book
or to book her. Admittedly I don't watch every one
of his episodes. I tend to catch clips, but I

(01:12:53):
have seen other people that are not just idiots with
money on there. Although some could argue that politicians are infacted,
it's with money a lot of times, and that would
be totally fair, all right. Eight eight eight nine three
four seven eight seven four It is eight fifteen hang
on apparently anybody like to occasionally use money. He has

(01:13:15):
like money. I'm a fan of money. Ross pan of money.
Probably you guys pan of money, but I mean actual
money money, not digital money. Well, you're old and lame. Apparently.
Gen Z deems cash is cringe in new studies, saying
people still use it. Our quote out of touch. Now,

(01:13:38):
don't get me wrong. I use lots of digital money
in the form of you know, debito, credit cards, I
use Venmo. I use not so much PayPal anymore because
Venmo's better. You know, there's lots of stuff we have,
what's the one through my bank, zell or whatever, like,
There's tons of digital options. I own some crypto the

(01:14:05):
But I like cash too. I like to have a
little cash on me, or maybe more than a little cash.
I'm not you know, not necessarily from walking around standpoint,
but at least have someone they're ready. Because here's the thing.
Digital currency is great until the one of the spines
of the internet, like with what we saw with Amazon,

(01:14:26):
makes it so now you can't do a digital transaction.
So what happens if the credit card machine's not working
at the store, but you need food good to have
a little cash around good to have a little cash.
And you know, in some emergency situations. I don't just
mean emergency in the sense that you know it's emergency spending,

(01:14:50):
but I mean like, let's say a hurricane comes through.
I mean that would be unheard of in North Carolina, right,
and you need to conduct some business what happens. It's
also if you want to go real dystopian, there's the
social credit aspect of it in some countries. And you
know what, government doesn't need to know everything I'm buying.

(01:15:12):
Got like if you're one of the thirty percent, it's
not all of gen Z. Now half of gen Z
says that they won't use physical cash unless absolutely forced to.
And that's fine, that's a consumer preference. And you know,
whereas there used to be places a lot of diners,

(01:15:32):
in fact, there's still places like this where they don't
take credit cards because they don't want their margins are
thin enough. What was the diner on Peace Street there?
I used to eat there all the time. It's long
gone now right at Peace Street and Capital Boulevard. I
love that place, of course. Now it's you know, they
just developed everything over there was fletch No, not fletchers.

(01:15:56):
It doesn't matter. You guys know the one if you've
been around Raleigh for a minute. There's a place in
Greensboro this sill only takes cash. The little bar that
I that I've been to a couple times in between
Winston and Greensboro, m they still only take cash, and

(01:16:16):
I get it, but they're also that it's one of
those hole in the walls and it's called the watering hole. Yeah,
the watering hole. You go in there. It's got three
pool tables, they got a big patio out back. They
got you know, juke box, you know that kind of
Stuff's cash only. They don't have liquor even it's just
bottled beer. I think they might have some wines there,
I don't know. And like five taps cash operation. But

(01:16:39):
for every one of those that still exists, there's a
lot of places that only take credit cards. And I
get very annoyed by that. Well for like little things,
because I'll buy little things with cash and you go
in there like, sorry, sir, we don't take cash. Well
what if I just have a little money in my
pocket and I don't have any cards on me. I

(01:17:01):
have one of those those phone cases that has like
just a little pocket thing in there. A lot of
times I'll just throw some cash in there, like twenty
bucks or whatever, just have it in there, just cooking around.
But there are situations where you're gonna want that cash. Now,
if it's a full breakdown of society. I don't know
if that you're gonna be able to barter with cash

(01:17:22):
or the collapse of the economy. But I mean, come on, man,
oh wait, hold on. So he may have told me
the name of the Finches. That's what it was. It
was Finches. Oh I love that play. That was the ultimate.
I went out on Glenwood Avenue and blackened my liver
and oh I can't move. The next morning, you go
to Finches, get some of those greasy paprika potatoes and

(01:17:44):
some well, I can't excuse me, chipped beef on toast.
I almost called it the other thing. Ross. What did
your dad call chip beef's on toast? Did he call
it what most military guys have heard call it?

Speaker 6 (01:17:55):
No, he definitely didn't call it chip beef on toast?

Speaker 1 (01:17:57):
Did it have something to do with a roofing? Yes,
it's a big shingle guy. Yeah, it was a big
shingle guy. Yeah, dude, that was my go to potatoes
ud that.

Speaker 6 (01:18:07):
But whenever my dad would have like a big, like
you know event like a birthday or a holiday. Yeah,
mom would be like her father's day, like what do
you want to what do you want for your meal?
I'll make here whatever you want. That's a blank on
a shingle.

Speaker 1 (01:18:19):
Yeah, he got it.

Speaker 6 (01:18:20):
He felt like and I guess like it's they it's
supposed to be bad, but like he loved it in Vietnam,
but it's like his favorite thing to eat.

Speaker 1 (01:18:27):
I think it's I think it's theirs. Was really good.
This the stuff that comes straight out of the can
that some people use. You can't make gravy. I think
that because it's so they put they there's too assault
in it. But if you do it right, I think
it's delicious. Man, Oh it's so good. So your dad's
go to was blank on a shingle. Yeah, that's funny.
And most people I've heard say that are always ex military.

(01:18:48):
I don't know why it is. I guess maybe just
because it's a popular mr or something. But yeah, oh
finches that would say, I would save you the very man.
All right, Thanks my buddy Barry for texting me then, yeah,
I hated that that place disappeared. M well, yeah, I

(01:19:10):
understand the old school. Yes, so Boston Paul, who's perennially
stuck in the seventies, sent me at one of those
old credit card slidy things with the paper imprint. Yeah,
I don't think. I don't think most businesses possess one
of those. But I'm just saying, like, cash is cash.
You know they say cash is king, and well, it
may not be the way we spend most of the time.

(01:19:33):
You go, don't want to have some and making fun
of people carry cash around. Plus, let me tell you what.
I also now know that you've never done anything fun.
I'll just say it, you never done it. And I
don't mean I don't necessarily mean drugs. Please don't read
into that. If they've that's your thing of fun, whatever,
it's probably not smart. But but like some of the

(01:19:53):
funnest stuff in life involves cash transactions. Man, And no,
Boston Paul, I don't mean the Gentlemen's Club either. Don't
text me. I just can't. I can't hold on or
repost it at Casey on the radio. Go check it out.
It's uh, this dude who's out. He's interviewing, you know,

(01:20:14):
people who were about voting up in New York. He's
up in New York City and he's asking anyone who
says that they voted for mom Donnie, or they're going
to what's their what are their favorite socialist country? And
for whatever reason, a lot of them are picking Cuba.

(01:20:37):
What do we what the hell at least like inaccurately
describe one of the like Norway or something as socialists
when in reality they're a capitalist socialist hybrid. But I digress, No, no, no,
you then pick Cuba and he's not the dude is

(01:20:58):
that he's not Hispanic is in this case he's a
younger black dude. And and then here's somebody who picked Venezuela.
Do you not have internet access? You know, we're turning
their drug dealers to mist at the moment, although some
people say it's just wayward fishermen. But right, but that's

(01:21:22):
been in the news. Soviet Union. Oh good lord. But again,
if you didn't hear the audio I had earlier, it
all makes perfect sense. Here is a here's a young
woman who was being interviewed yesterday.

Speaker 4 (01:21:38):
I voted Firmon Donnie do you feel like socialism would
work in New York City? No, not necessarily.

Speaker 1 (01:21:47):
I voted for this thing. It's not gonna work, but
I voted for it. Now you can. The answer would be,
I'm hopeful that it works, even though you know there's
people that would disagree. But if you believe that, like, nah,
it's not gonna work, then what are you doing. It's
like I said it earlier, I'm jealous. I'm not jealous

(01:22:11):
of what is probably going to happen in New York City.
Now A lot of it's just not gonna happen, and
I you know that is that is the that's what
that is what happens in New York City a lot.
And with a lot of these socialist candidates that they're
out there promising everything under the sun, they're just not
gonna be able to deliver it. The question will be
do they get something across the board that sues the people?

(01:22:34):
And I don't know, I don't know what the answer
is going to be, but you clearly have it evaluated.
What happens if it doesn't work. Maybe in her mind
what happens is the status quo, and she's fine with that.
But if you don't think it's going to work. You're
implying that they are going to implement some of this,
yet it will not achieve the result that you want.

(01:22:56):
Have you paused to think the result it may achieve,
because that's what that's what reasonable people do. And I'm
not going to go repeal the Nineteenth here on the show,
but I'm pointing out, you know, because the guy in
the other video who loves Cuba. But then I think

(01:23:16):
to myself, because of the amount of information that we
consume every day, the amount of articles I have to read,
the stupid things that I have to know so that
I can then share them with you, so you can
equally want to slam your head against a wall. How
great would it be not to ever have to consider
any of that, Not to be, as I said, burdened

(01:23:37):
by reason, just go through life. You're like, dah, this
feels this feels good, never stopping to think about the
consequences of one's actions. You know, there's there's a very
famous photo of the of the Iran Revolution Iaranian Revolution,

(01:23:58):
and if if you've now, I mean there's famous photos
of pre Iranian revolution of what exactly it looked like,
and you would you would find it indistinguishable from a
southern California college campus. Watching the young people walk around
in Iran. They're wearing Western clothing, listening to Western you know,
Western media, consuming Western media. They had, they had a

(01:24:21):
very high English speakers, a percentage of English speakers in
Iran at the time. They were a very very forward
country for that region of the world. And there's a
very famous picture of these four girls in it's like
a convertible and they are actively promoting the incoming Iranian regime,

(01:24:44):
yet they are dressed in Western garb. Only one of
them survived the revolution, and I don't mean from the opposition,
I mean literally tortured, raped, and killed two of them
and another one was shot in the head because of
the very same Western things she embraced while promoting the
incoming shaw or not the shaw, the mulla there and

(01:25:11):
some would argue it's a cautionary tale. I'll see if
I can find it and retweet it, because somebody went
through and labeled it, and just because they labeled it,
I went and looked it up and it's true. And
that's also what happened in Cuba. People fail to remember
that one of the things that Chae Guvara and Fidel
Castro reveled in was murdering their inner circle in many cases.

(01:25:32):
Then you go into the Hitlarian Night of long knives.
Those were allies in many instances, because one, once you've
accomplished the revolution, then you got to get rid of
other people who may be eyeball in your positions of power.
And it is a tale as old as time. You

(01:25:53):
saw what happened during the Russian Revolution, the French Revolution.
Arguably the French Revolution had a period after the revolution
where the revolutionaries were then torturing the people at a
much higher clique than the former French aristocracy was. And
then they had to be revolution and then they were
hanged or guillotined, a little bit of both. You know,

(01:26:13):
the French like to mix it up. But this woman
is not burdened with any of this. Shit's never crossed
her mind. And do I think they're going to be
guillotining people in New York next year?

Speaker 8 (01:26:28):
No?

Speaker 1 (01:26:30):
But you know, baby steps man, And why you may
not get the brutality of perhaps what you saw in
some of those other examples, you're going to get the
sheer lunacy of some of the policies, and then you're
going to start doing things like arresting twelve thousand people
in England last year for social media posts twelve thousand,

(01:26:53):
twelve thousand individuals, and people go, well, you know, in
the US they'll do that because you know, the burying
the three hundred people and very specific social media posts
which were active calls or threats of death in many
cases to people under Secret Service protection, but also to

(01:27:14):
America at large calling for certain things, getting outside the
bounds of what we perceive as you know, actual First
Amendment protected speech. Whereas in the UK twelve thousand, that
number will probably go up, and as they clamp down
in more and more places, you start to see things

(01:27:37):
like this, is that what you want? In Australia kicking
indoors doing the same thing. Some of it was COVID related,
but now we've gone into the language side of it.
But again, she's not burdened by reach.

Speaker 11 (01:27:51):
I voted for Mangani.

Speaker 4 (01:27:52):
Do you feel like socialism would work in New York City?

Speaker 1 (01:27:55):
No, not necessarily, but also doesn't have the the ability
to process what she just said. She clearly has a
secondary thought where she's evaluating, go this isn't gonna work.
I don't know. Man, scary scary times. I already don't
like traveling to New York that much, but mostly it

(01:28:16):
was just because of the expense and it's a hassle
and you get in and out of there. But you know,
there's some stuff in New York that's you know, cool
to see. I get it. So what is what is
that gonna do for tourists there? I don't know. We'll
see how people react. All right. It is eight forty
three here on the CaCO Day radio program. Coming up,

(01:28:37):
will chat with Denise PELAGRENI in just a few minutes
from Bloomberg News. I think I have one more piece
of audio I gotta get. Yeah, the Mike Johnson audio.
So we'll get that, and I just thought i'd throw
in that a little something something about the food stamps
because there is an update there. We've got a piece
of audio as well. But first let's go ahead and
get race staging. He is from the Weather Channel. What's

(01:29:00):
going on?

Speaker 9 (01:29:00):
So casey looking real good. Over the next several days,
we'll continue to see a clear sky and sunshine really,
I mean, not too bad for this time of year.
The mornings have been on the cool side, but we'll
recover nicely as we get through the next few afternoons.
A little mid sixties today, up close to seventy Tomorrow
and Thursday back to the mid tupper sixties. Friday near seventy.

(01:29:21):
We'll see a bigger cool down coming. It looks like
that's gonna be sometimes Sunday night into Monday, and by
Monday we may only see highs in the little mid
fifties with some colder air coming in and out.

Speaker 6 (01:29:31):
In the mountains.

Speaker 9 (01:29:32):
We actually see maybe a little bit of snow in
the forecast, So enjoy the next several days. Looks like
it's going to be really NICEA yesterday, no snow word,
and then today's snow word.

Speaker 1 (01:29:42):
I see what you did there, all right? Well, see,
the first snows are always interesting up in the mountains.
I remember growing up Wyoming the first snow was fun,
although the twenty eighth snow was not fun, and the
February snow was just the worst. So I guess enjoy it,
why you can? All right? Eight forty five back with
Bloomberg and Denise Pellegrini. Next Bloomberg update, Now with Denise Pellegrini, Denise,

(01:30:06):
what's going on?

Speaker 11 (01:30:07):
Yeah, Casey, if you have a jeep made by Stilantis,
you might have to park it outside and now charge
it until the automaker fixes it. Stalantis is recalling over
three hundred and twenty thousand jeep vehicles. Problem, Casey, is
the batteries on the plug in hybrids. They could catch fire.
Coca Cola under fire after trying again this year to

(01:30:29):
use generative AI to redo its classic Coke caravan holiday commercials.
The problem is people really don't like it, Folks at
the Verge say. After Coke got backlashed last year for
its AI generated holiday commercials with those gliding wheels and
weird looking faces, company is doubling down with a new
AI Christmas campaign that's even worse. The Verge says, the

(01:30:52):
holidays are coming commercials take even more of the festive
joy out of the brand, with animals that look sloppily animated.
We're not sure, but it appears that they took last
year's criticism to heart and tried to make it look
less contrived and maybe a little bit more you know,
ad hoc. But now it just looks like a bad
AI job as opposed to an AI job. Now that

(01:31:15):
Halloween is over, here come the new Thanksgiving inspired Oreo
cookie flavors Turkey and gravy, sweet potato cream, corn apple,
caramel pie, pumpkin pie, of course, cranberry sauce. All of them, Casey,
even the turkey and gravy flavor are covered in fudge.
Stock futures right now they are lowered, Dow futures plunging
two hundred eighty points, S and P five hundred futures

(01:31:35):
down seventy three, Nasdaq taking the biggest hit. Stock futures
there down almost one and a half percent, down by
three hundred seventy seven points. Denny Shares our surging, though.
The South Carolina based company says tri Artisan Capital Advisors,
Treble Capital Group, and yadav Enterprises will acquire the firm
and a six hundred twenty million dollar deal. And Casey,

(01:31:57):
here's what I wanted to tell you about. Full grown
adults are apparently spending tens of thousands of dollars on
Lego sets, and the Wall Street Journal says some people
are so addicted they are actually remodeling their homes, Casey
to make room for these Lego land utopias. They talked
to one woman who's really really crazy about this. She
did a hundred thousand dollars renovation, she knocked down walls.

(01:32:19):
She's got this huge room with her lego land utopia.
She's got a security system on it with a fingerprints,
so no one else can get in it, no one
can disturb it and mess it up when she's gone.
And she's saying she's even considering putting in cameras so
that she can check on this thing when she's traveling.
And the weirdest thing of all is she's a mortgage broker,

(01:32:40):
so she knows the difference between a real home and
a fake lego home that she's building.

Speaker 1 (01:32:47):
But I think one better. I had no idea how
expensive some of these sets were until we had a
story here a while ago where there was like a
smash and grab and they sole about these big lego sets.
I was looking them up online. It's like Harry Potter's
Castle eight. Yeah. Yeah.

Speaker 11 (01:33:05):
And apparently spouses are getting, you know, kind of angry
about this number one. They don't like it that there
are spouses who they love, right, are spending all this
money on this, you know, what they think is weird stuff.
And then they're filling up the house with it. So
it's not like the spouses are just doing the flower
lego sets. It's like they go in their house and

(01:33:25):
instead of furniture and yeah, it done on the couch,
there's an Eiffel Tower.

Speaker 1 (01:33:30):
If you're if you're a woman and your husband is
spending money, would you rather spend money on lego sets
or ownly?

Speaker 6 (01:33:35):
No, that's it's the way.

Speaker 11 (01:33:37):
Who are spending the money on the set?

Speaker 1 (01:33:39):
All right, Well that's better than purses in my opinion.

Speaker 11 (01:33:42):
So yeah, those purse trees get kind of old once
you get three.

Speaker 1 (01:33:46):
Or four of them. Geez, all right, thank you very much.
We'll chat there you go. Denise SPELLERGRENI from Bloomberg News. Yeah,
I mean, just pick your poison there, all right, real quick.
So the Trump administration has basically acquiesced to the spending
of the one emergency fund. Now I think the Democrats

(01:34:07):
are not going to try to come after some more
emergency funds, So we'll see how all that goes. But
you know, that'll be about two two and a half
weeks or something. So it is in no way a solution.
But once again, I just want to reiterate because I
keep seeing this, and I feel like it needs emphasized more.
The amount of people that we're willing over the weekend

(01:34:29):
that I saw that we're going to food banks, working
at food banks and bringing food two food banks so
that other people could come and pick it up, and
churches that were stepping up and forward. This idea that
half the country doesn't want any benefits as a totality
and half the country wants everything to be free is
just not the reality we live in. However, when you

(01:34:51):
run things like this in the media that I'm about
to play for you, and you do so from a
sympathetic angle, you're going to drive people nuts.

Speaker 8 (01:35:02):
The first thing I did was I'm following a cat
out of my nine hire to zero dollars.

Speaker 11 (01:35:07):
My chest went into my throat.

Speaker 8 (01:35:09):
Mariotto Gon has been a SNAP recipient for more than
three decades. Even with these benefits, she says she also
relies on food banks to get enough food.

Speaker 3 (01:35:18):
I have depended on those benefits since the nineteen nineties,
and it's detrimental to my life if I don't get them.

Speaker 8 (01:35:26):
There are more than four hundred and sixty thousand New
Mexicans using SNAP benefits tonight, some of them telling us
they don't have those right now. Friday, Governor Michelle Ludhan
Grisham announced thirty million dollars in state funds would be
used to supply SNAP users starting November first.

Speaker 11 (01:35:41):
We're gonna choose feeding families over politics in New Mexico.

Speaker 8 (01:35:46):
We're gonna do that right now.

Speaker 1 (01:35:48):
Again, this whole feeding when the shutdown is politics is annoying.
People don't and I don't know this woman's situation. I
can't tell if she's disabled, and maybe that's part of it.
She doesn't strike me as disabled, but you can't always tell.
But people don't want to hear that. You've been on
a temporary assistance program for thirty years. That's where people
lose their mind. And we're in this hole. It's one

(01:36:11):
thing or the other and there's nothing in between. Mindset
on this and like they thought they were doing a
sympathetic peace. Look at this poor woman who doesn't know
how to get food in her house. For thirty years,
she's never had to do it, and now what is
she going to starve? Even though she clearly knows where
the food banks are. And the New Mexico governor is
going to be doing this thing playing politics. But yeah, man,

(01:36:34):
that's the kind of stuff right there where you're just
like you're not going to convince anybody of your position
that there's not massive fraud and graft. I don't care
how many times you come forward and go, well, actually,
actually we did a study and we determined it was
the least abused assistance program in the government, less than
one percent. And I'm watching people just you guys have

(01:36:56):
seen them the grocery cart brag Tiktoks where they've got
three hearts filled up in its name brand stuff. There's
one lady who's like very proudly holding up these two
giant boxes of crab legs at Costco.
