Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
This time of the year, is you run the risk,
well it's twofold. You run the risk of the news
cycle drying up. Most of the time, that has been
kind of the historical norm. I will say under Trump,
I don't know the new cycle ever dies. But when
you get away from the politics of all of it,

(00:23):
you never really know what you're gonna get. But then
you couple it with incredibly stupid people who have escaped
Darwin's grasp. I think Florida Man, but with you know,
with a Santa hat on and and and then that
can kind of buffer and fill in stuff. You trust me,

(00:43):
you'll see where I'm going here in a moment. But
I didn't have high hopes for today, as you.

Speaker 2 (00:50):
Know, we creep into the end of the year.

Speaker 1 (00:53):
You know, today's the ninth, ten days from now, is
going to be our last show of the year. Ross
has already you know, he's our gone because he timed
the baby. And then you know we come back January fifth,
and then that's just the normal rotation of things. But
during the Christmas season, you never really know what you're
gonna get. And that got me thinking this morning before

(01:16):
the show, like the the you know, the then diagram
of Christmas. Right, So you know, Christmas comes down to
four categories for the way that people deal with it,
all right. One category don't celebrate Christmas all right, could
be a religious objection, could be you're the grinch, whatever,

(01:39):
you don't do the thing. That's fine, that's for you.
But among people who celebrate Christmas, there's really three lanes.

Speaker 2 (01:48):
Right.

Speaker 1 (01:48):
There's the secular, there's the non secular. I either's religious
and non religious observance of it. And then there's what
I think is probably the most prominent category. It's a
little bit of both, which is fine. But like I look,
I had we had a neighbor who there's no Christmas tree,
there's no there's no Sanna they have. They put up

(02:12):
a big Nativity scene in there, literally in the like
they have. I don't know how to describe this to
people don't know what they are. So a lot of
ranches where the entrance to the ranches does they don't
just have a mailbox, they have like they have like
a whole.

Speaker 2 (02:30):
Storage shed there.

Speaker 1 (02:32):
And there's reasons for that, not the least of which
is it might be a slightly bigger one. And then
there's a full size grater in there because you've got
to handle your own roads. But you know a lot
of them just look like a lean to and it's
a place where people want to drop something off. You can,
you can pop it in there, and they would.

Speaker 2 (02:49):
Like full nativity, see this thing.

Speaker 1 (02:51):
But they didn't have a Christmas tree in their house,
so they were they were purely in that religious thing
that was their thing. Nice people, by the way, the Pheasants.
And then there's you know, people who don't have the
religious connotation and it's all about the Santa and all
of that.

Speaker 2 (03:09):
Okay, but I.

Speaker 1 (03:10):
Think for most people it's you know a little bit
of both.

Speaker 2 (03:12):
Category.

Speaker 1 (03:14):
Why am I breaking this down because within the Christmas celebrators,
I think lies the bigger argument early presence, not early presents.
I don't know where you guys come down on this.
So early like and it can be, oh, we get
a present, one present per day the week leading up

(03:36):
to Christmas, and I'm like, that's honka basically, but you
do you And then there's everybody gets one present the
night before Christmas. Now we didn't do that my family
because we have self control. Okay, So clearly you figured
out what camp I'm in.

Speaker 2 (03:53):
Right.

Speaker 1 (03:53):
I think this is a learning opportunity. I think our
society is such instant gratification. It's a wonderful way to
teach people that sometimes you just gotta wait, man, but
again you do. You never been in that early present camp. However, however, Uh,

(04:15):
Jasmine Crockett's running for Senate, and I feel like this
is it for me. Yes, that Jasmine Crockett. Yes, she's
running for Senate. And like even the announcement was amazing,
and I feel like I feel like I've belied my
own philosophy tradition on this thing because I'm just so

(04:40):
happy for me. And I'm happy for Texas too, right,
because like things are going to be so interesting for you,
but I'm happy for again, this is about me. I'm
happy for me because this is gonna fill a niche.
This lunatic is right, and this is the thing about Texas,
Like texts, I know that Democrats in Texas every election

(05:03):
cycler like this is set. We're gonna turn it blue
and you're not. But it is getting progressively more purple.
But it's still Texas. And you know, it's an environment
where a Ted Cruz and a Jasmine Crockett can exist.
I don't think in the Senate together because she's she

(05:23):
would be running to unsee John Cornyn. But I don't
it's a possibility.

Speaker 2 (05:28):
I don't. Look, she's not gonna win.

Speaker 1 (05:30):
That being said, she's gonna make my day, my life,
my button bar that much better for like the next
year basically if she and there's already Democrats that are
pulling out that had indicated they were going to run
for this primary. So and you know that's the behind
the scenes stuff. I don't know what the conversation is.

(05:53):
I'd be very very interested to hear, like a Texas
Democrat power brokers after her a few drinks in a
room where they're looking around making sure nobody's watching, and
then actually talk about this, not with Jasmine in the room,
because I have to think they're not real happy about it.

Speaker 2 (06:11):
Remember, they want to run.

Speaker 1 (06:12):
Like a beto' rourke somebody along those lines. And yes,
Beto O'Rourke with his weird sheep costumes are a thing, but.

Speaker 2 (06:20):
Jasmine.

Speaker 1 (06:21):
But Beto doesn't say the same level of insane randomness
that Jasmine does and doesn't do the insane and what's
so crazy about Jasmine Crockett is we've evidenced on the show.
People think she's dumb, and that's a possibility, but it
wouldn't it wouldn't track with her upbringing. Like we've played

(06:45):
audio on this show. I may pull it out here
a little later, but you know, Jasmine Crockett is from
Saint Louis.

Speaker 3 (06:53):
She is.

Speaker 1 (06:55):
Somebody who was educated at literally Saga teen Girl. But
I want to be abundantly clear here because it is
literally literally the highest and best ranked private school in
the state of Missouri. She had a formal, formal education,

(07:16):
a very expensive one too. So like the Jasmine Crocket
you see is not the Jasmine Crocket that if you
looked at interviews that she did when she first talked
about running for office or running for a federal office,
because she was already a state reptant in Texas. Like
if you see her interviews, she's she's buttoned up her

(07:39):
her she's not slangy.

Speaker 2 (07:42):
I guess would be the West. The way that I've
described it.

Speaker 1 (07:45):
She clearly leaned into an image and for you know,
the district in which she represents currently that that's gonna work.
But this is a state wide race, so I don't
know which version I didn't know which version you're gonna get.
When she announced that she's running for senate because she
was up. She's like crying while she's announcing it, and

(08:06):
I'm like, okay, all right, let's see, let's see if
this is a strategy or you know, where, where exactly this.

Speaker 2 (08:12):
Thing is going.

Speaker 1 (08:14):
And then she just she does things, she says the
crazy stuff, and then she she invites some rapper. What
is this guy's name, I'm calling him Highlander? All right,
hang on, So she invited this rapper out to help
her with her announcement, and it's just like, again, this

(08:37):
is a Christmas present for me.

Speaker 2 (08:42):
This is this makes me so happy. And he's not
even good.

Speaker 1 (08:47):
He's not.

Speaker 4 (08:50):
Okay, she ain't never scared of she ain't never been
who wait.

Speaker 1 (08:55):
This is a senate race announcement. All right, hold hold
on the U Tupac. We're gonna get to you. Because
again I'd listened to this thing five times, like I can,
I can appreciate well.

Speaker 2 (09:08):
Done rap music, this is not it and like it.

Speaker 1 (09:12):
Doesn't even make I'm gonna translate for you so we
all understand this. But thank you, whichever one of you
got me this, Thank you, Thank you, thank me, thank you,
And yes, that means you're gonna have to listen to
a lot of Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 2 (09:29):
But it's it's gonna be.

Speaker 1 (09:31):
On that elevated level of insane. And it kicks off
with a roughly one minute rap song her balling her
eyes out and uh, you know, people ducking out of
the race. So like this thing, this thing is moving fast.
And I'm not saying now I'm a convert where I

(09:52):
want a Christmas present early, because again, lack of self control,
that's our society. Whatever I can wait, but I didn't
have any choice. I'm just gonna have to embrace this thing.
So we'll uh well, we'll dive into all of that
and her ad, all the ad, all the the you know,
because you have to have your kickoff campaign ad. It's

(10:14):
just Trump calling her stupid.

Speaker 2 (10:17):
No, no, I'm serious.

Speaker 1 (10:20):
If the ad is just Trump calling her low i
Q which is either brilliant, right because you know you
want you want to touch your base, or hilarious material
for me. So that that's where we're gonna say, that's
where we're starting on the national level. Clearly locally, Uh,

(10:42):
we got bigger issues. If you're if you're up in
about depending on where you are, you're gonna want to
be careful this morning. What a what A, what a
crazy last about five days of weather and uh so
raced agic. He'll be along, we'll pillary him, we'll get
him to apology, guys, and we'll figure out what we're
done with this. But some of you got your white

(11:04):
Christmas already, some of you got your icy Christmas already,
and some of you may soon join everybody else. So
lots to get into here on our mon Tuesday as
I'm calling it, because again, didn't have to do a
show yesterday, and some of you thought I was fired. Nope,
not fired. But we will, we will, we will dissect

(11:25):
this campaign announcement. We got an escape prisoner thing that
we need to talk about, and a judge in the
triangle was arrested on domestic violence.

Speaker 2 (11:38):
But it's the mug shot for me.

Speaker 1 (11:39):
I'll explain coming up kc O Day Radio program, CaCO
Day Radio program.

Speaker 2 (11:45):
Welcome back. All right, So I was mentioned. I mentioned.

Speaker 1 (11:49):
I know it's not probably the most important story in
everybody's life today because we got crazy weather going on.
So I guess if you don't have eyeballs or a window.
Maybe you don't know.

Speaker 2 (11:57):
But you know, be careful out.

Speaker 1 (12:00):
A lot of kids not doing the school thing did
into the school thing yesterday.

Speaker 2 (12:04):
Maybe some businesses.

Speaker 1 (12:06):
And it's always fun for transplants because I myself was
one at one time from cold weather environments. When you
start seeing how the closures work, because you're like, that's
not real. It hasn't even snowed yet, or it has,
but it's a little bit, and they're like, everything shut
down and if you're if you there was a murder,

(12:28):
don't call police. They working like there'll be three hundred
you know, because we've done this on our website per year,
the closures, right, we had the clothes, we put all
the closures in there, and you'd like Port three hundred
and four hundred closures for Triangle, Tryad wherever it is
is everything shutting down, and so it could be a

(12:50):
little baffling. I think if you're new to North Carolina
and you move from New York or Michigan or Minnesota
or wherever it is. But yeah, it's that's how that's
how it rolls. So AnyWho, we you know, so we
just do our best. I mean, I hate it because again,
this is a selfish thing. If people aren't going to
work and the kids aren't going to school, you're out

(13:11):
of your routine, and your routine should be religiously listening
to this station, specifically this show. So thank you to
those even if things are a little crazy today, still
giving us a listen.

Speaker 2 (13:23):
We appreciate that.

Speaker 1 (13:24):
And oh yes, as somebody just reminded it is legal
to go to a grocery store ahead of this and
uh uh, maleey your fellow citizen for bread and milk.
I'd look it up. I think it's in the law.
I'm not a lawyer, so you know there is that caveat,
but I think you can fight people for those two staples.

(13:48):
Just FYI, okay, all right, So I know that that's
the most important. However, the most amusing to me is
Jasmin Crockett is running for Senate. So excit, so excited,
and from the moment it kicked off, it was it
was everything that I thought it was gonna be. So
she brings this this rapper up to you know, go

(14:14):
ahead and get things rolling.

Speaker 2 (14:16):
What is this guy's name? Oh that's right. I was
gonna look it up because.

Speaker 1 (14:18):
Most people are just referring to him as the rapper,
and I don't think that's fair because like, if you're
digging when he's putting down, you should be able to
go check out his social media where I'm sure he
posts in lieu of an actual record contract and he
sounds like Highlander.

Speaker 2 (14:35):
With his name, so I kind of like, yeah, here it.

Speaker 1 (14:38):
Is Cameron McLeod, Cameron McLeod, Is this this rapper's name?
And so he gets up during the during it and
just starts, you know, ripping a beat, and well, we're
gonna here's what we're gonna do, because I want to
play it for you, and I'm gonna add a beat
because you really.

Speaker 2 (14:57):
Have a I mean, kind of get a little bit
of a bet.

Speaker 4 (15:02):
She ain't never scared of she ain't never been.

Speaker 1 (15:04):
All right, huh okay, but but like you got to
hear the whole thing, hear the whole story. So that
is that's what we're gonna do right after the news.

Speaker 2 (15:13):
Okay.

Speaker 1 (15:14):
I know I'm teasing you twice, but it's gonna be
worth it, and I don't want you to go anywhere.
And we haven't done our I'm gonna trans I haven't
translated rap lyrics in.

Speaker 2 (15:23):
Forever, and I'm so excited to do it this morning.

Speaker 1 (15:26):
So we have a uh, you know, better understanding of
really what the platform is.

Speaker 2 (15:31):
So we will get into that.

Speaker 1 (15:34):
Six thirty five here on your Tuesday morning, and uh, slippery, slickery,
whatever word you want to use in many places. So
maybe leave a little early, or call and lie to
your boss. You're very sick. I just I that cough.
I'm very concerned. You should stay home and just listen
to the show however you choose to play. I just

(15:55):
know that's out there. Before I jump into that, just
a quick thank you to.

Speaker 5 (16:00):
The well.

Speaker 2 (16:01):
There's so many people to think.

Speaker 1 (16:05):
Clearly, all the listeners that came out for our Stuff
of Us, which is our big Christmas Eve fundraiser we've
done for years now where we park up in front
of the Walmart and Killed Air Farm in Carrie what
blew me away?

Speaker 2 (16:23):
And then we're there.

Speaker 1 (16:24):
We got big buckets, tents, the whole thing and if
people want to bring a toy or.

Speaker 2 (16:31):
The Walmart's very convenient.

Speaker 1 (16:33):
Most people just walk in, they buy a toy, they donate,
and again literally thousands and thousands of toys raise for
toys for Tots. In fact, I didn't tell him I
was going to do this. So producing the show today
is our boss, Trevor.

Speaker 5 (16:50):
Oh yeah.

Speaker 1 (16:52):
And he not only was he out there all through
the week, he was living in the bus for the
stuff of Us. Yes, and survived barely because he was
living in there with other people and the weather sucked.
So five eighty eight toys right for the Marines. Toys
for tots, that's right.

Speaker 6 (17:11):
And we had over I want to say, around thirty
bikes as well, so these were good toys too.

Speaker 2 (17:17):
We had one.

Speaker 1 (17:18):
There was this couple that came in and they're like, hey,
I'm gonna go get a bike. And they didn't get
a bike. They came out, what did they have? Six
or eight?

Speaker 5 (17:25):
Six?

Speaker 3 (17:25):
Yeah?

Speaker 6 (17:26):
Yeah, this couple came out to donate six bikes, like
not like little kid bikes too, six full sized bikes.

Speaker 2 (17:31):
Like these were bikes I would have fought my brother
over back. Yeah.

Speaker 1 (17:35):
These were nice bikes and uh and so like and it.

Speaker 2 (17:38):
But it didn't matter.

Speaker 1 (17:39):
We had people donating board games and barbies and dude,
there is so much cool in the there's so much
coolness in the remote control stuff. Like I got robbed,
like you Oh, there's so much good stuff, and uh,
I don't I didn't steal any They're going for the kids.
But I want you to understand the need and even

(18:01):
though the fundraisers over, if you feel inspired, but you
didn't want to go out in the weather, which I get,
like the weather sucked over the weekend, especially Friday.

Speaker 2 (18:10):
Uh, but you know it was just kind of it
was cold and all of that.

Speaker 1 (18:14):
You know, you could still donate to Toys for Tots,
but I want to I want to explain the dynamic here.
So their warehouse, there's so much need this year that
they it was unusual what they did, so like they
what did they I want to be specific here, Trevor.
They said that their warehouse was so low they came

(18:35):
out and early picked up stuff, right.

Speaker 5 (18:37):
Yeah, usual, usually we have all the toys.

Speaker 6 (18:39):
You know, we stuffed the bus and then we have
every time we stuffed the bus. We then moved them
to a twenty six foot long moving truck, right yeah.
And last year we needed two of those trucks. This
year we only needed one because Toys for Tots in
the Marines came early to take like half of it
while we were still doing the Toy Drive because the

(19:01):
warehouse was empty and they needed to fulfill more orders.

Speaker 1 (19:05):
Yeah, so like I know that our thing's done, but
you know, if you want to, if if you feel inspired,
you want to make a donation to Toys for Tots
and you know, all that stuff stays local to what
we were doing there.

Speaker 2 (19:17):
They clearly need it this year. So if if you're.

Speaker 1 (19:22):
Feeling, if you're feeling the spirit, you know, you can
go to their website do that and uh it would
be much appreciated.

Speaker 6 (19:29):
You can even just write a check too if you
if you don't have time to get toys, just Toys
for Tots.

Speaker 1 (19:35):
That's what I was kind of hitting at, you know,
because you don't want to go out of your house.
Blooms so easy to pay. So but if you want
to go buy a bunch of toys and like reenact
the end of Miracle on thirty four Stree where you
just keep coming in with the bags, they'll probably take
that too. Of course they had mail in those, but
you should have toys new and unwrapped.

Speaker 2 (19:51):
That's the caveat so.

Speaker 1 (19:53):
But yeah, so just over five thousand toys Santa made
in appearance because you know, clearly we were good. I
got my photo taken. I think that bodes well, and
now I get the Jasmine Crockett stuff. So it worked out.

Speaker 5 (20:04):
You didn't smile though in the picture, did you.

Speaker 2 (20:06):
I don't smile in any pictures. You know this. You
know this, It's in my contract.

Speaker 1 (20:10):
So yeah, yeah, so it was so I met so
many listeners, but the amount of listeners I was asked
because I was asking, where'd you come from? You know,
it's like Holly Springs, all right, that makes sense, sir,
I live here and carry her. But like the amount
of Youngsville and wake Forest and uh uh uh Patty Tremurvor,

(20:32):
Patty's husband's name, Gin allowed him to speak, uh this
kind of teasing them they came from They came from
Rockingham County, right, so like that's that's not that's like
Triad Fringe and they're all the way over for that. So,
you know, thank you everyone who came out, and especially
thank you to everyone who donated for for that. And

(20:54):
let me tell you, we had our struggles the weather,
right because you know the weather, and then like right
in the middle on two of the days, we had
power outages. And with power outage like they have to like,
you know, the Walmart's got to close because they got
perishables and stuff there. So if the power's out for
a certain amount of time, then they got to go
through and check that, you know, the food temperatures. You

(21:15):
all don't get you know, all the diseases, which we appreciate,
but we had that downtime there, and uh, I don't
know the math on what that would have translated to toys,
but it just accentuates that if you feel like doing something,
and I know, I know there's a lot of people
as part of the Christmas season they do various gift

(21:37):
giving or charitable donations.

Speaker 2 (21:39):
Maybe have a list there. I would encourage you.

Speaker 1 (21:42):
To think about including that because we probably could have
done I don't know, maybe a few hundred more. But
it was just it just was what it was, and
it wasn't us. By the way, we didn't blow the fuse.
We checked So all right, so let me let me
pop over to this so oh and thank you to
our sponsors too, Trevor.

Speaker 2 (22:04):
Do you remember all our sponsors can.

Speaker 6 (22:06):
Put me on the spot. Cars dot Com presenting sponsor.
They did a ten thousand dollars shopping spree with the
Marine so that was great. Landon Associate's Family Dentistry also
did a shopping spree. Hmmm, oh Carter Heating and Air
as well. They stuffed our first bus, so we got
a head start on Friday morning.

Speaker 1 (22:26):
And then yeah, I was just looking over here, make
sure I didn't forget anyone.

Speaker 5 (22:30):
Uh Breeze airways.

Speaker 2 (22:31):
Yeah, that was the one.

Speaker 1 (22:32):
I was thinking of. Okay, yeah, I was looking at
the sign I took a picture of.

Speaker 6 (22:35):
And then and then shout out to Capital Moving in
Storage because they give us the trucks for the weekend.

Speaker 2 (22:39):
Two yes, yes, yes, yes.

Speaker 1 (22:41):
So look there's a lot that comes together to do this,
but it's mostly Trevor working and not sleeping for five days.

Speaker 2 (22:47):
So thank you, thank you to him as well.

Speaker 1 (22:51):
All right, let's go ahead and get into the Jasmine
Crockett fun, shall we, because again, this is my early
Christmas present, not for the kids, but rather for me,
and I appreciate that, and I hope it is a
long and arduous not just primary season, but let's go
to general with this thing. I want as much audio
as possible, and so as part of the Jasmine Crockett

(23:13):
kickoff effort, there was a little bit of crying. She's
up there a little little weepy uh. And then all
of a sudden, here comes Cameron McLeod, who's I don't know.
I guess he's a rapper in Austin or something, and
just chef's kiss on this stuff from a from a
me stand just from an audio standpoint, I really appreciate it.

(23:36):
I had to listen to this a few times. Though
he doesn't enunciate real well, but I'm guilty of that occasionally.
So but let's yeah, let's let's this is a custom
rap that he did on this. I don't know if
it was on the spot because he was reading it,
but he wrote just for this event, and straight fire,
I guess, is the way I would describe this. Clearly

(23:56):
headed for the Billboard Hot one hundred.

Speaker 2 (23:58):
Here we go. Yeah, let's get into it.

Speaker 4 (24:02):
She ain't never scared of she ain't never been. Who
was willing sig so to so against the president? I
can't wrap my head around someone who votes to public
can she advocates?

Speaker 1 (24:11):
But we actually, you know, hold on, just because I
understand this could be hard to hear because the audio
quality is not great and I don't know why, because
he's at a podium. But also there's he kind of
jumble some stuff. So I'm going to provide a service
that I have provided on certain other circu you know, situations.
I'm going to translate for you. We call this h

(24:34):
rap lyrics for Whitey. We haven't got to do this
in a while, so I'm so excited. So allow me
to go through the roughly one minute rap with you
and explain what the hell this guy's talking about, because
a little later in it gets a little weird. But
I will do this for you. This is my Christmas
present to the audience.

Speaker 2 (24:53):
So here we go.

Speaker 1 (24:55):
All right, So let's get into it. Clearly, He's just like,
let's go ahead and start.

Speaker 4 (24:59):
Okay, all right, she ain't never scartus. She ain't never
been all right.

Speaker 1 (25:05):
So not only is she not intimidated by I'm assuming
Trump or Senate you know Texas Republicans, she has never
been intimidated by them.

Speaker 2 (25:16):
So I that's you know, that's I guess what you
want in Canada.

Speaker 4 (25:21):
Gets the president.

Speaker 1 (25:22):
She's like a foot shorter in the president. So I
guess toe to toe works because it ain't face to face,
be like face to chest.

Speaker 2 (25:30):
I don't even know if they've been in a room together.

Speaker 4 (25:32):
Okay, my head around someone who votes Republicans.

Speaker 1 (25:35):
All right, So clearly, mister Cameron McLeod namesake, notwithstanding as
the highlander, he is unable to fathom a situation where
somebody might be able to vote for a GOP candidate,
which you know is understandable. There's a lot of Republicans
who will go. I don't understand how anyone could vote
for a Democrat, all right, that's just the nature of

(25:58):
our partisan politics.

Speaker 4 (26:00):
Geting kids, they were touching them.

Speaker 1 (26:02):
Okay, all right, Now this one is a little I understand,
it's a little rough as we're going through. So what
Highlander here is implying is that Jasmine Crockett supports feeding kids,
whereas members of the GOP want to molest them. You

(26:26):
tracking this, okay, So because apparently those are the only
two ways to deal with kids in politics the irony
of course. And if I could on an editorial, and
I can because this is my show. Does she mean
real kids or the hundreds of thousands of fake kids

(26:49):
that were fed as part of the what is clearly
a growing fraud epidemic among the Somali community in Minneapolis.
So mister McLeod, mister Highland, he does not clarify as
to which kids, but we'll benefit of the doubt. The
Jasmine Crockett is in favor of feeding kids, and I

(27:11):
would argue most people probably want kids to be fed.
They just have different ways of, you know, going about
as signing responsibility for it, like hey, why don't if
you have eight kids, maybe you should be in a
position to feed eight kids, and then the other ones like, uh,
it takes a village and they're not your children. But also,

(27:35):
I don't think as a policy position either party is well,
I don't know, maybe some of you disagree. It's like
we should molest all the kids. I don't think that's
a winning strategy.

Speaker 4 (27:48):
Invade in his own country within an army, what did so?

Speaker 1 (27:51):
We were okay, all right? Invaded his own country with
his with their army. What a joke, I must he's referring,
of course, to the National Guard there, which, ironically, in
Miss Crockett's own district, was a very very effective tool
in combating the immense flooding that happened in Texas, because

(28:16):
that's one of the things the National Card does. They
do those things in fact, that's mostly what the National
Guard does, emergency response things like that. So is Jasmine
Crockett against the National Guard helping when there's flooding.

Speaker 2 (28:30):
I don't know. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (28:35):
But also they're Americans, so I don't know that they
can invade. Again, just translating spitballing.

Speaker 4 (28:43):
Here, remember illegality barman boat?

Speaker 2 (28:46):
What's up?

Speaker 3 (28:47):
Thought?

Speaker 1 (28:47):
Okay, all right, so remembers Pearl Harbor, which, by the way,
we're just a couple of days removed.

Speaker 2 (28:54):
By bombing boats.

Speaker 1 (28:57):
A certain amount of things here we need to touch
on one the Americans, the American President or just Rogan.
That's not who bomb Pearl Harbor. I looked this up
this morn. Apparently it was the Japanese, I know, crazy stuff.
So like none of that tracks. And also those were

(29:19):
our boats, the modified cigarette boat where they've removed basically
the living facilities and the bathroom so they can fit
more fifty five gallon drums of narcotics, which, by the way,
they had an interdiction over the weekend. They did not
blow the boat up because it was document another boat

(29:40):
they rolled up. They found twenty thousand pounds of cocaine
that was half headed for the US and half headed
for Sumatra for some reason I don't know, So they're
not blowing all of them up. In fact, the vast
majority of interdictions that we do with narcotic smuggling do

(30:03):
not involve hell fire missiles. But those are the ones
who end up on the news for obvious reasons. So
like your whole thing is backwards there, Highlanders, we.

Speaker 4 (30:12):
Wasn't gonna do nothing, buddy, Think again. They only trying
to scare out her running because they think she'll win.

Speaker 1 (30:18):
Listen, Okay, so you think that the GOP position is
they don't want Jasmine Crockett to be the Senate candidate,
because I'm going to assure you, even though most of
the people within the party we don't we're not we
don't chat because I don't like them either, but I
promise you I've been doing that. The GOP wants her

(30:41):
to be the Democrat candidate for Senate in Texas unless
something even crazier like that's money, that's money she'll lose
by eight ten points. It just it just is what
it is in Texas if you have a full showing,
which the Senate race will be a full showing.

Speaker 2 (31:00):
So like I don't. I'm not tracking, sir.

Speaker 4 (31:03):
I told y'all wing never scared. Now, Like who name
on the docket got two words, but every racist bigot
Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 1 (31:12):
Got two words for every racist bigot Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 2 (31:19):
What does that even mean?

Speaker 3 (31:20):
Right?

Speaker 1 (31:21):
I mean, clearly if you think that you're actually talking
to a clan member, which is what you're implying there,
they're fully aware that Jasmine.

Speaker 2 (31:29):
Is black, and that would clearly be a problem with them.

Speaker 1 (31:32):
But I think you're implying that everyone because again you
said you couldn't fathom who could vote for that. They
don't like Jasmine Crockett not because she's black. They don't
like her because she says insane things and votes for
insane things. And I would point out too, and this
is this is how we're going to tie this back local.

(31:55):
For all of the insanity that you're going to see
with Jasmine Crockett, you need to realize that her policy
positions are going to be about ninety eight ninety nine
percent the same as Roy Cooper's, because that's that's just
how it is with the party system now. So she
can act, you know, she can do the crazy, but
her her voting has been almost lockstep with party leadership,

(32:18):
unless it's Israel, and then you know, then we get
a little anti semitic y.

Speaker 2 (32:22):
But there you go.

Speaker 1 (32:23):
All right, finish up, sir, Oh you do Oh that's
not even your voy Oh he's doing now. He looks
like they've got caught lip syncing the whole thing. The
whole thing was a dumpster fire, but a really entertaining one.
So I'm hoping that moves forward in Texas. All right,
it is six point fifty two long segment, short one

(32:46):
coming up.

Speaker 2 (32:46):
We'll be right back.

Speaker 1 (32:48):
Cac O Day Radio Program. Thank you for joining us,
even though I know for a lot of you your
schedules are kind of jack today with the weather or
your kids school schedule, or your your your feinting pneumonia.
That's fine, but you're still listening. We appreciate that, and
with good reason, because lunatics didn't stop lunaticking over the weekend,

(33:13):
so we got some very interesting, uh little stories coming up. Also,
once again, and I know that we have talked about
this in multiple literations. If you find something cool on
your property, don't tell anybody. I can't tell you the
number of stories we've done. And like the classic example

(33:34):
was the couple they they had like a I don't know,
they about like five ten acres kind of out. I mean,
it was outside of San Francisco or Sacramento.

Speaker 2 (33:43):
Excuse me, as you're.

Speaker 1 (33:45):
Going up the slope right, because I don't know, if
you know, the geography of California. Sacramento is quite a
bit inland. And then you start climbing this Sierra Nevada's
not far from there, and so you know, they bought
their their mountain property and there, you know, I guess
they're scaling to put in some stuff there. And for
whatever reason, they excavated what had been a shed on

(34:07):
the property and they.

Speaker 2 (34:08):
Found like.

Speaker 1 (34:11):
Currency from and this was old California currency. Because remember
back back back in the day, you know, a lot
of states had their own thing going, especially as you
got out to California, because California was so incredibly separated
for for a long period of time from the US,

(34:31):
even though it was it was or I should say,
from the rest of the US, even though it was
you know, very moderate in the sense because you had
the incentives of all this great land there. You could
you could get there by boat. You know, we we
think of the Oregon Trail and the Conestoga wagons and
all that stuff, but most most people who were settling

(34:54):
it initially were one not part of the US experiment.
It was just Spaniards. It was Hinippro. Sarah was really
the the the guy who was responsible for the mission
system in California.

Speaker 2 (35:10):
For familiar with that.

Speaker 1 (35:11):
Yes, I know these things just because I was in
California for a few years and they beat it into
your head when you go to San Juan Capistrano and
Santinez and Santa Barbara where they have these missions still
and and so they were really doing their own thing there,
so they had their own currency, and these people found it.

Speaker 2 (35:29):
It's and and and the of.

Speaker 1 (35:30):
Course the lawmakers in California like, that's ours, that's ours
because of the way that it was supposed to be
traded in so they could get on the US currency.

Speaker 2 (35:41):
And thankfully the couple won it. But that's that.

Speaker 1 (35:44):
Let that be a lesson to you to shut up.
Case in point, case in point, here we go, State
of Washington.

Speaker 5 (35:53):
What is it?

Speaker 1 (35:54):
What is this? I don't know if it's a couple.
Does this guy find amazing stuff? Specifically a here we
go sorry, I was trying to get the page to
reload because it decided don't want to show me seventy
two pop ups.

Speaker 2 (36:12):
All right, So these people.

Speaker 1 (36:14):
Are renovating their home in Olala, Washington. I'm not sure
where that is in the state, but it really doesn't matter.
And I guess they opened up a wall and there
had been a crawl space or something or a storage
space there that had been you know, essentially walled over.
And what's inside a box of grenades? And what do

(36:34):
these lunatics do? They call the police? They call the
Sheriff's office. Kitsap County Sheriff's office responded, inspected the case.
Deputies called in the bomb squad, an explosive ordinance team
from a nearby naval base. Inside were ten live grenades,
blasting caps and other explosive devices. And you guys call

(36:55):
the police. Do you realize the level of fun you
could have had? Like that could have been your whole
I've talked about it here on the show. The greatest,
one of the greatest summers of my childhood was when
me and my cousin and my idiot buddies found some
some quarter sticks of dynamite that had been in so

(37:19):
like in the farm field in our fields where we
have the alfalfa right because there's not a lot that
grows whewing, but we raised alfalfa and you gotta rotate
its whole thing. So the story, they're not standing storage sheds.
They're essentially root sellers. And that's because the wind and
snow and everything else. And we were banging around in

(37:42):
one in this field that we didn't even put alfalfa
in anymore.

Speaker 2 (37:45):
I can't remember why we were digging around.

Speaker 1 (37:46):
In there, but like there was this box and best
guess was it had been there since the fifties or sixties.
We had the greatest summer. We don't even tell my mom.
We're just like, oh we can. We're trying to figure
out everything we could blow up with it, although in retro,

(38:07):
in hindsight, it clearly like some of it was rotted
and had leaked, so maybe we shouldn't have been handled.
But I'm here, I have ten fingers, so I mean
things went okay. These are pretty standard looking grenades. They
are according to the bomb Squad report here, they are

(38:30):
suspected to be military issue. They're the classic green grenades
that you know you're envisioning in your head. I don't
know if the if they have an expiration. I've only
ever got to make one grenade go kabluey. Thank you
to the military people made that happen. So I don't
know with these if after three years you got to

(38:52):
throw them out or how that works.

Speaker 2 (38:54):
But I don't know.

Speaker 1 (38:55):
They look clean, they look intact, and you could have
had amazing fun summer. But no, no, no, now the
government's got it and they I guess they've already blown
them up so well, so that let that be your lession.
If you find anything cool, shut up, don't have fun.
It's okay, all right, let me grab a call here, Jamal,

(39:17):
what's going on?

Speaker 7 (39:19):
I wish I.

Speaker 8 (39:20):
Could find a constant sub machine gun.

Speaker 7 (39:22):
That's my dream.

Speaker 3 (39:23):
But you.

Speaker 7 (39:25):
Know what case and I want people to understand what
I'm saying. Yes, Jasmin Crockett is a one hundred percent
high octane idiot. The term done as a crocket is real.
But here's what we don't realize. They about to turn
the racism you don't support her up by ten foles
because remember, they're gonna tell the people of Texas and

(39:47):
this is what the people of Texas gonna hear, especially
black men, they're gonna come out thus hard because you
didn't vote for Kamala, now you can't vote for the
black sister Jazz and who to talk like? And she
really from the hood every time someone challenges and say
something about her the hood.

Speaker 2 (40:06):
But she's not from the hood.

Speaker 7 (40:08):
I know she's not. Look the beat she used was
by she was never scared. Okay, that's the beat she used,
never scared by my man. Okay. But what people have
to understand this is a way that if she wins now,
she got to get out of that primary because a
lot of Latinos don't like her. She is stupid and

(40:31):
they recognize her as stupid as bone crushing. Everybody want
to look, well he took that, Beyon. I'm surprised what
a musical artist to sue Bone Crusher and his company
to sue about her using never Scared. But my point
is they're about to try to make it to make
it seem like if you don't vote for her, you're racist.
So and this Roy Cooper gets as and what Cooper

(40:56):
knows how to play it. He's gonna say, well, what
do you got a problem against the black woman who's
energetic and just passionate because and Republicans who want to
go back to the old way we used to do
things where we ducked and did and let Democrats talk
about us. President Trump is gonna attack her back because

(41:17):
he's not he's not George Bush, he's not rigging. You
ain't gonna attack him, and he's not attacked back. So
they're gonna try to do everything you can that you
see her release video showing Donald Trump ins yeahs turned
around like like out that hits cop. I'm like, really,
can this woman do anything original?

Speaker 1 (41:37):
Did you did you see her? Did you see her
phone in that? This is a little aside thing that
it made me laugh so on on her phone lock
screen it's a picture of herself.

Speaker 7 (41:49):
Yeah, hate her. People don't understand who out here is
her staff, Jasmine Crockett staff despise her. They call her lazy.
They say she don't do nothing. And what the Democrat
Party do People like Jasmincroft and the ALC, they're not
there helping produce legislation. What they do is the Democrat

(42:10):
radicals creating legislation. Then they asked you to sign on it.
Then you sign your name and so when it was well,
she got all this legislation. No she's not. She's not
in the midst of trying to create legislation. So it's
gonna be Kamala Harris times teen. If you don't vote
for her, you don't like black women. You didn't vote
for Kamala Harris and she was good. So now you

(42:33):
don't like jazzoncroffor just kill the truth? You don't like
black question?

Speaker 2 (42:37):
Yeah, no, no, no, but let me ask you a question
on that front. I am.

Speaker 1 (42:43):
From what I understand Barack Obama. That video of him
chastising those like ten black dudes.

Speaker 2 (42:51):
Uh, like that backfired? Right that it did?

Speaker 7 (42:56):
It did, But people, I don't know if he's our
case because I'm you're in the media. You remember when
Stephen A. Smith came out and just simply broke down
facts and how many people attacked. And I don't like
Steven A. Smith politics wise, but Stephen A. Smith talked
about and said, hey, Jasine, you need to watch your
tone and realize you to do so. Yeah, that's what

(43:18):
I'm following. Yeah, and the and these black celebrities are
gonna come out in droves because she's ignorant, she's a fake.
She's a fraud, and she represent the ninety two percent
of the Black women who voted for Kamala ignorant, dumb
and want something for free. And I want to see this.

(43:38):
She gonna have people talking. Remember when Jasmine not Jasmine
Kamala Harris had made the styling working on stage. People
don't understand people like, well, she just enjoying her culture
because she's from the thing. Don't you think Jasmine Crockett
is gonna have worse? She's gonna have worse.

Speaker 1 (43:57):
I maybe, but you know Hillary, guy that got away
as a white women with going on the breakfast club
with her hot sauce stuff.

Speaker 2 (44:03):
So I don't.

Speaker 1 (44:04):
I don't know what works. This is why I'm not
a political I'm just allowed to.

Speaker 7 (44:09):
They're about to broadbeat white women for the white women
who are going to be on a stand. They're about
to broadbeat white women like Hillary Clinton and Michael excuse me,
about to say Michae Obama, excuse me, Michelle Obama. But
how they came out the white women in twenty seventeen
saying they turned their back on Hillary, that these white

(44:31):
women you will betraying. And remember that actually worked because
a lot of white women did vote for Democrat in
the mid terms in twenty eighteen.

Speaker 1 (44:40):
Right, So women is the voting block. White women, especially
college educated women, always vote Democrat at a higher percentage
in my in modern history.

Speaker 7 (44:49):
So, but it's their moms. It's their moms and their
aunts who are old enough to know better. But they
and a lot of white women. And it's not an insult,
but a lot of women love their daughters and love
their children so much that their daughter's not speaking and
keeping the green kids from them. They will they will say, well,
you know what, this is textas and I will win.

(45:11):
I just do it so I can keep my relationship
with my daughter. Instead of saying, you don't tell me
who to vote for, get out of my house while
slides you in the third base talking to me forgetting
your place, young lady. They're not going to do that.

Speaker 2 (45:24):
Let me let me just ask us.

Speaker 1 (45:25):
I gotta go far as the I guess the slogan
she's using, she's not using never scared. Her slogan is
the JC way I guess, so, which I think is
going to be really funny if Christians steal that and
make memes as though it's a reference to Jesus Christ.

Speaker 7 (45:46):
Well that comes from the untouchables. Where that comes from
the untouchables? I said, she's up in the Chicago way.
I mean, this woman does nothing good, but she got
a lot of young people who don't know about the
stuff she's using, because literally she just talked about the
Chicago where Sean Connor is malone.

Speaker 2 (46:03):
I know it's gonna get it's gonna get stolen.

Speaker 1 (46:05):
And I think that probably there's gonna be a bunch
of Christian memes kind of like what happened to Franklin
the Turtle over the last few weeks, which, yeah, all right, Jamal,
I gotta go, thank you very much, appreciate the call. Yeah,
it wouldn't do. I couldn't do justice to the Franklin
the Turtle memes because it's you really got to see it.

(46:26):
But Franklin the Turtle from the kids books, which is
a Canadian thing, has been let's just say, hijacked in
the most hilarious sense possible on Twitter. And then the
publishers came out and they streisand affected the thing, which
you know, if you just shut up about it, people
don't care. Striisand effect is because somebody posted a picture

(46:48):
Barber Streisand's mansion. I guess if you don't know this,
and she she had a team of lawyers come after
somebody who didn't do it for profit just posted a
picture on this like this website. It had had six views,
and she sent a team of lawyers and because she
don't want people seeing her mansion, and then as a result,

(47:08):
everyone saw her mansion. So the Franklin the turtle thing
is very amusing. But you know, explore that on your own.

Speaker 2 (47:18):
Check it out.

Speaker 1 (47:18):
All right, we come back good. On Gatlinburg's Christmas parade.
I think I am inspired by this. I'll go over
in Gatlinburg.

Speaker 2 (47:29):
Mid July. No, sorry, it's a song lyric.

Speaker 1 (47:32):
Over in Gatlinburg, they had the Christmas parade, and let's
just say they had a special entry.

Speaker 2 (47:39):
And I think I think.

Speaker 1 (47:40):
This is a wonderful way to run a Christmas parade.

Speaker 2 (47:45):
Excuse me, I think I'll give the hiccups. That would suck.

Speaker 1 (47:49):
So during the Christmas parade this weekend in Gatlinburg, everybody's
lined up on the streets as you do, waiting for
the candy, and all of a sudden, who comes walking
down literally the middle of the street right in the
middle of the parade route. But a big old black bear.
And you know that's if you've been to Gatlinburg. Black

(48:09):
bears are pretty common. Like chances are if you spend
a couple of weeks even it up in Asheville, like
the right time of the year, if you want to
go see a bear, you probably see one. I saw
it when we did the Ashville broadcast. We had they
had a bear literally just up by the sandwich joint
that I went to and everyone was driving by, and

(48:31):
then where our studios for iHeartMedia Ashville are. It's physically
like up on top of the hill because it's where
our radio towers are. The building is there too, and
apparently they got a bear that just hangs out around there,
but they didn't tell me that until after I'd been
like three days walking in and the you know, o
dark thirty in the morning, So I appreciated that.

Speaker 2 (48:53):
So it's not unusual.

Speaker 1 (48:54):
And the problem is then you get the tourists like
that idiot lady who was kneeling down, which, again, if
you encounter a black bear, chances are you going to
be fine. If you make yourself big and noisy, it's
just going to run off. I'm telling you as somebody
who's five foot mother, we used to walk out with
a pan and a metal spoon and bang on it
if they were eating in our trash. With no fear.

(49:16):
They just run off. Now grizzly, Yeah, you don't want
to do that. But and they become much more human adapted,
but it doesn't mean they can't just lose their crap,
and unfortunately that's what ends up happening. People get too
comfortable around them, and then this time of the year
when it's all about the eating for them, or in
the spring when you got cubs and mom, people do

(49:39):
stupid stuff and it happens, but nobody's moving from the
parade route. That's the part of the video that sit
out to me. They're just I don't know if they
thought it was part of the parade or they're just
used to it, because I don't know if that's more
tourists than residents looking at this thing. But it was
pretty cool and I propose that next year for the
roleigh Christmas Parade. Mister Trevor, program director is running the

(50:01):
show today Bears Bears, and we got to go bigger
than Gallinburg. They just had one bear. I'm thinking three
bears because there's a lot of like historical reference with
three bears, you know, nursery rhymes and stuff.

Speaker 2 (50:14):
So do you think that.

Speaker 1 (50:16):
The iHeart would allow us to have bears for the
parade next year? I'll get working on that, okay. In
my community, though, a bear is that's a different it's
a different thing, so.

Speaker 2 (50:25):
You don't fair enough, fair enough.

Speaker 1 (50:27):
But in this case, I think we go one black bear,
one grizzly, and one polar I got you, okay, and
then you know, to show our diversity there, so that
would be we could probably do it once. But anyway, Yeah,
everyone just looked at it, but they look very happy
seeing the bear, So there's that. I just want I

(50:47):
just want to make the kids happy. I don't want
to get eaten. But you know who doesn't want to
see a bear running down the parade route?

Speaker 8 (50:54):
There?

Speaker 1 (50:55):
Oh man, let's see here. It was thee fiftieth Annual
Christmas Parade.

Speaker 3 (51:00):
Uh.

Speaker 1 (51:01):
Videos posted showed captured on a captured stunned onlookers whipping
out their phone.

Speaker 2 (51:06):
Because that's what we do now, rather than.

Speaker 1 (51:09):
Evaluate the situation, have some situational awareness for things. That's
our first and it not just with wild animals, but
just in general with stuff that they like, you know, oh,
I see I see people robbing a bank. Let me
stand here in film and I'm shot right, So like
we we've programmed that survival sense out of out of

(51:32):
ourselves somehow. But in this case, uh, it's it's very
like you.

Speaker 2 (51:37):
Can see it.

Speaker 1 (51:37):
Nobody's moving, nobody's even hiding their kids. That's the crazy thing.
Like there's little kids there and there's not even like
the kids aren't running out there. But also I don't
really see in this video any dad's like grabbing their
little rugrat and they hold on to them to get them,
so they're not ground level in case they ran out
to the bear.

Speaker 2 (51:56):
So uh, maybe maybe.

Speaker 1 (51:58):
We've just stupid into ours back into Darwin being able
to have it. Spectators were amused and the bear and
name the bear and I'm not making this up, Santa
clause claws, which indicates that they're aware the bear has
sharp claws. Yes, Tennessee Wildlife Resources Agency. So the bear

(52:24):
likely has gotten used to human no Blank Sherlock obviously,
and sees humans as a source of food, not in
they eat human sense, but in the idiots feeding them.
This is a real problem. You know, Yellowstone had a
huge problem, huge problem up until I want to say
they stopped to the nineteen eighties. I think they did

(52:47):
it till the eighties. Yeah, or late seventies, early eighties.
Maybe you guys know this, maybe you don't. So in
Yellowstone one of the things you could go watch is
bear feedings. They had like they had like bleachers set
up and then they would just have a bunch of
you know, old food.

Speaker 2 (53:09):
And then there was not.

Speaker 1 (53:10):
Bleachers on the one side basically adjacent to where these
bears had almost basically been trained to come out of
the woods for feeding time, and there were no barriers
in front of the bleachers either.

Speaker 2 (53:22):
That's what was crazy.

Speaker 1 (53:23):
You can see pictures of this stuff, and that was
part of the tourism experience. You go see the falls,
you go check out the geysers, and then oh, let's
go for the five o'clock beer feeding, and like there's
dozens of bears in some of these pictures and they
had just so been trained to come to.

Speaker 2 (53:41):
The area where they did this.

Speaker 1 (53:43):
This outside of Mammoth and they had one in Lamar Valley,
and they had one other I can't remember where it was,
and when they stopped. They had to stop doing it
because the bears would jump the time, right, so feeding
was five o'clock. They'd show up an hour early, as
you do when you're getting for free, and then tourists
would be, you know, pre feeding them. And there were

(54:06):
some run ins, there were some incidents, so they had
to stop doing that. But yeah, Gatlinburg apparently has an
issue with that. All right, that's half of Critter News.
Let me give you the other half because I think
this is hilarious. So Army had a whoopsie, I guess
so Army Navy game coming up. It's they played this
one since eighteen ninety. I think these two teams have

(54:27):
played with the exception of the war years.

Speaker 2 (54:31):
I guess it didn't happen.

Speaker 1 (54:32):
So since eighteen ninety they've played every year except for
like eight or seven or whatever the number is. And
part of the tradition is mascot theft. So and then
the story is insane, like if you go back with it.
By the way, it's not a very creative name for
the goat in this story. His name's Bill, get it,

(54:53):
Billy the Goat, Except this is Bill thirty eight they're
on the thirty eighth iteration of this particular mascot.

Speaker 2 (55:02):
Yeah, so here, I was just calling up the numbers.

Speaker 1 (55:04):
So they played every season, Yeah, they started in eighteen
ninety took there was ten years they didn't play every
season though, since nineteen.

Speaker 2 (55:11):
Thirty they've played. I actually played during World War Two.
Oh by the way.

Speaker 1 (55:16):
Also, they are favored by six in Baltimore over Navy.
Uh and I like that. I think that's a good bet.
Six even if it bumps to six and a half,
I think you got to take it. That's just me
gambled responsibly. YadA YadA. So but the pranks are so

(55:36):
insane that the Pentagon has had to step in. If
you don't know the backstory, so let's see nineteen fifty three.
Let's go back to nineteen fifty three, six cadets successfully
kidnapped Billy the six, the goat that serves as Navy.

Speaker 2 (55:51):
This Navy's mascot is the goat.

Speaker 1 (55:54):
Even though they were ordered by Army Brass to return
the mascot to Annapolis. Upon return to West Point, the
midshipman vowed to protect Billy the Goat from that point forward.
So they have had since since then, twelve successful goat
nappings and so it's a whole thing. And in fact,

(56:15):
it got so crazy in the nineteen nineties that the
Midshipman stole the Army's mules, which is their mascot, and
Zip Tide employees, the Zip Tied members of the US
Army who I guess were in charge of the mules
or whatever. Literally and then, and I'm not making this up,

(56:36):
a helicopter chase took place.

Speaker 2 (56:39):
And at that.

Speaker 1 (56:39):
Point the Pentagon stepped in and said, no more stealing mascots,
except they still steal them. So Army claims to have
successfully kidnapped Navy's goat, and they posted a video over
the weekend. The problem is they kidnapped the wrong goat apparently,
so they're getting roasted.

Speaker 2 (56:59):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (57:00):
Video posted on Sunday night showed a group of Army
cadets walk out onto a stage with a goat and
a packed auditorium. The goat wearing the Navy drapery and
then they actually put tape around the horns to represent
the colors blue and gold, and we're like, hey, we
got there. We got their goat, except it's not their goat.
They stole the wrong goat. And so my question is

(57:22):
for our military listeners, specifically in the army, Delight really
reflects poorly, doesn't it, Because like, isn't one of the
things that you guys do in the.

Speaker 2 (57:32):
Military, like plan tactically to do.

Speaker 1 (57:35):
Things, get all the information, make sure you're hitting the
right target, like because you guys are just getting torched
right down? Or am I am I crazy here?

Speaker 8 (57:46):
So?

Speaker 2 (57:48):
Or maybe navies lying? I don't know.

Speaker 1 (57:50):
I think it was fun as long as the critters
don't get hurt. But if they do, goat's delicious. So
you got that going for you, all right? Raced agic
from the weather channel. He's hanging out so uh, Navy's
still uh Navy's goat got stolen by army except they
still So, Yeah, what's up, mister raised agent?

Speaker 2 (58:09):
Oh all right? Uh, pull his comrades down.

Speaker 1 (58:12):
He's calling right now. We'll take him out. I'm gonna
just grab him. Don't don't pick up, all right, I'm
gonna ray.

Speaker 2 (58:16):
You're on the air. So are we having comrax issues?

Speaker 7 (58:20):
Yeah?

Speaker 3 (58:20):
It sounds like it.

Speaker 2 (58:22):
And I'm sorry.

Speaker 1 (58:22):
I thought I forgot to send you an email, just
uh pointing out that I had Monday off I thought
I mentioned it, but yeah, I was.

Speaker 3 (58:30):
No worries man. Yeah, so now I've sent everybody into
a complete panic, wondering where you are.

Speaker 2 (58:37):
No, it's so good.

Speaker 1 (58:39):
It's they don't think I get fired every day I
take off. So it's a long tradition here.

Speaker 2 (58:46):
I'll tell you. What's putting people in the panic is
uh what this?

Speaker 7 (58:49):
What?

Speaker 2 (58:50):
What are you doing? Man? We don't need to know.
Ye yeah, I know.

Speaker 3 (58:53):
We don't need ice, I know, and we really needed
to talk about it yesterday. But we're still leaving to
wait the weather to up until noon today for a
lot of higher population centers Raleigh, Roxboro, high Point, Chapel Hill.

Speaker 7 (59:09):
So that's for some.

Speaker 3 (59:11):
Leftover icy spots. Had half an inch even to the north,
up to an inch of snowfall to get closer into
and into the heart of the state of Virginia. There
was even more than that around the triad. I think
eighth of the tenth of an inch at Bethany d
Up near the border Draper, North Carolina one point eight.
So a little bit of light stuff, we know, that's
all it takes. And now we'll start the recovery and

(59:32):
start coming back. Still cold day today upper thirties, maybe
some row forties were more clouds than sun. Them all
will get just above fifty degrees or the dusty breeze
and a partly Sunday sky start off in the twenties
and then on Thursday little core sunny though and mid
to upper forties, and the same thing on Friday, mid
upper forties and mostly sunny. The weekend sunshine, and I'd

(59:54):
say at our slightly below average temperatures load to mid
fifties for most of us, and then we're going to
get colder again, but no precipitation early next week. I
think by Monday we'll struggle to get out of the thirties.
So a little tricky out there this morning. Just drive carefully,
especially the further north, to go out of the Try
and go in the Tryad. That's where there may be
a little bit more in the way of patchy ice
in spots. Other than that, slowly we'll get a little

(01:00:16):
bit milder and then the weekend looking good before we
turn sharply colder, at least briefly early next week.

Speaker 1 (01:00:23):
So basically Mondays suck enough, so we're just gonna have
a string of Mondays that suck extra.

Speaker 3 (01:00:30):
Now it'll be real nice the rest of the week.
Today the cloudiest and then really not too bad as
we get into Wednesday and the rest of the week.
Little on the chili side, but no precipitation. It look,
it'll look real nice. I mean, the nice blue sky
you know, may not like the colder temperatures, but the
real cold stuff doesn't get here until Monday.

Speaker 1 (01:00:49):
Okay, all right, thank you sir, appreciate it. Have yourself
a good one and we'll chat an hour. Okay, all right,
there you go, raceed agic from the Weather Channel and
hold on. People are sending me an email here. Do
the other branches? I think they all have animal mascots.
The Marines have a bulldog named Chesty, I.

Speaker 2 (01:01:08):
Know that, and.

Speaker 1 (01:01:12):
Air Force has whether they have a falcon or something.
I don't know what Space Force the Space Force has all.
Can you imagine if you're in a rivalry with Space
Force and they kidnap your mascot and send it into orbit.
That would be amazing, right, Just a video of you know,
Chesty the bulldog just looking like that with that Russian
dog from the fifties.

Speaker 2 (01:01:33):
Also, I don't know if you want to steal the
Marines mascot.

Speaker 1 (01:01:37):
I don't know that would work out for you AnyWho.
All right, seven forty nine, hang on, we will be
chatting with Senator.

Speaker 2 (01:01:44):
Ted Budd about We.

Speaker 1 (01:01:47):
Got a whole laundry list of stuff we're gonna get into,
like what are you guys doing up there other than
yelling at each other?

Speaker 2 (01:01:54):
So he can fill us in on that.

Speaker 1 (01:01:57):
And I got a whole little list here, so we
haven't chatted in a while.

Speaker 2 (01:02:02):
We'll get to it real quick though.

Speaker 1 (01:02:04):
This so a lot of sports selection going on over
the weekend for the you know, the more I obviously
clearly from a college football perspective, By the way, we
can talk about that if you want. Since Duke at
seven and five didn't get in did anyone think Duke
was going to get in there? This isn't me hating

(01:02:25):
on Duke, by the way, but you're seven and five
and they got some bad losses, but you know, clearly.

Speaker 2 (01:02:32):
The team has come together. But no, and.

Speaker 1 (01:02:37):
There's all sorts of shenanigans to discuss. That being said,
the World Cup thing is very interesting, not necessarily because
I think you all like soccer, but and I will
say this, like I'm not a big soccer fan. But
I will tell you one of the funnest things, just
because the energy around you was being in Europe during

(01:02:58):
World Cup when it was in Germany back when I
was at eight I think it was eight when I
was over there or whatever it was in Germany. Being
over there and you just get the vibes of how
excited everyone else is. And also watching the Irish trash
talk everybody because they weren't in was very amusing to me.
So World Cup coming to not just the United States,

(01:03:19):
it's coming to Canada and Mexico. And they gave Trump
the World Cup Peace Prize, which it look make your jokes.

Speaker 2 (01:03:29):
I think they're deserved.

Speaker 1 (01:03:30):
I think the point was because the US had expanded
it to its neighbor countries was the point of it.

Speaker 2 (01:03:36):
That's fine, But it.

Speaker 1 (01:03:38):
Was the selection of the sites for the various teams
that is interesting because Seattle is theming their World Cup
matches because it's in like seventeen different cities as Pride,
it's a Pride match. Uh, they're gonna yeah, so they're
gonna be leaning into the Pride uh Pride month. And
then that's the whole theme of it, and the teams

(01:03:58):
that were selected which is a random draw.

Speaker 2 (01:04:01):
We're Egypt and Iran.

Speaker 1 (01:04:05):
I guess Iran's not happy, but they're never happy, so
what are you gonna do? Yeah, so there's a certain
amount of irony there. The one World Cup match that
is gonna be full rainbow flag LGBTQ plus themed is
going to do feature two countries where if you're gay,
you go to jail if you're lucky. And that's just

(01:04:29):
that's for the that's just for the being part. If
if there's other things, well, I ran you can google
and google cranes and.

Speaker 2 (01:04:38):
See how that goes.

Speaker 1 (01:04:39):
So a lot of accidents, so you know, don't be stupid,
take a little extra time.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
But like, what have we got? Five forty US one?

Speaker 1 (01:04:50):
I was sixty four, so you know, basically all the
main thoroughfares and depending on where you are, it could
be pretty slippery out there. All right, I recommend you
stay indoors and listen to this next interview. Senator Ted
Budd joining us this morning.

Speaker 8 (01:05:04):
How you doing, sir, great casey, thanks for having me.

Speaker 2 (01:05:08):
You're up in DC right now? Is it?

Speaker 8 (01:05:10):
Yes?

Speaker 1 (01:05:11):
Weather up there?

Speaker 8 (01:05:13):
Yeah? No, mostly back in North Carolina.

Speaker 1 (01:05:15):
Okay, all right, it sounds like you made the smart choice,
all right, So the question everyone wants to know is
what are you guys even doing up there? Is how
somebody worded it, So, uh, let's go ahead and start there,
and then I want to get into a few specific
things we're you know, clearly we're getting towards the end
of the year, like is there anything even on the
radar that's going to happen for you all go home

(01:05:36):
for Christmas?

Speaker 8 (01:05:38):
Tons of nominees, you know, they got backed up because
of all that unnecessary forty three day Democrats shutdown from
Chuck Schumer. So a lot of work, a lot of nominees,
a lot of judges to put in place. So we're
confirming them left and right. You know, we're we work
on the committees, so I'm on the Armed Services Committee,
Intelligence Committee, and then you know the Commerce Committee, which

(01:05:58):
deals with FAA and air travel. The uh, you know,
we're working towards a you know, healthcare solution. When you
think about what happened in two thousand and nine, Democrats
essentially broke healthcare by the way, that was a Christmas
Eve present with sixty Democrats and zero Republicans on that bill,
and then five years later they realized, oh my gosh,

(01:06:19):
this thing really is horrible. So they propped it up
with subsidies, and then they set dates for the subsidies
to expire, and here we.

Speaker 1 (01:06:27):
Are, you know, and then I can I just hold you. Yeah,
I want you to explain. I want you to explain
something to people, because there's a lot of people go, well,
why would the Democrats put in those that's for scoring, right,
that's so that the CBO doesn't make this thing look unpassable.

Speaker 2 (01:06:44):
Was that the real they need?

Speaker 8 (01:06:46):
That's why they put expirations in there, because let's if
they score something for over ten years, uh, and then
they'd say, well, you know what, we're going to pay
you at a certain rate, but we're only going to
pay you that rate for five years. And then it
cuts the CBO price in half and it allows them
to show people say, look, it's half the price that
we expected. But really they just let it expire with

(01:07:07):
the actual intention of going in there and continuing the subsidies.

Speaker 1 (01:07:11):
Okay, I just want people because I think a lot
of people don't grasp why that was and then show
game because we're going, yeah, people are being dishonest, and
try to explain it as the Republicans made them do that,
but that's not what it was. They didn't know that
they could sell it.

Speaker 8 (01:07:28):
Now, now these folks broke health care and now they're saying,
you know, it's a Republicans problem. No, no, this is
a Democrat problem. But we're going to have to fix it.
We're coming up with stuff like price transparency and then
those pre existing conditions. They're having protections for those folks,
allowing people to choose health care across state lines. I mean,

(01:07:49):
there's some good stuff that we're coming with, but we
have to like figure out, you know, you don't just
throw all this stuff against the wall and see what sticks.
We got to say, what's affordable for the country and
what's really good for folks, and what you know, doesn't
bankrupt our country. These are the things we're coming up with.
Rick Scott's got a great plan, Roger Marshall, there are
some really good plans, but we have to sift through

(01:08:10):
that and that's what we're doing right now.

Speaker 1 (01:08:12):
I saw one of your colleagues, what a Senator Reid's
first name is.

Speaker 8 (01:08:16):
That Jack read Jack reed from hode Allen.

Speaker 1 (01:08:19):
Yeah, so I saw Jack read talking about the the
the narco boats and uh, one of one of the others, Oh,
Tammy Duckworth, that's the other one I saw talking about this,
And there were two things that stood out to me,
But I'm very curious your thoughts on the on the
totality of this. One is this, uh, this, Oh, it's

(01:08:39):
a war crime, all right? This is this is a
war crime and it's horrible. And then the other thing
that mister Reid was attempting to sell is just because
somebody is piloting a boat full of narcotics trafficking at
Tusome Place does not make them a narco trafficker, all right,
which is crazy like to me, because you're literally doing
the thing.

Speaker 2 (01:09:00):
Are you comfortable with this? And are you I mean,
are we really going to.

Speaker 1 (01:09:06):
Go down the war crimes road or are they going
to soften on this a little? Because clearly the American public,
if you pull them, doesn't seem to have a majority
problem with this.

Speaker 8 (01:09:16):
Katie, I had you on mute there you couldn't hear
it while I was banging my head against the desk
as you're describing this. I'm glad to know that the
Democrats are in the pro Cartel movement and you look
at the rat lines of folks, whether it's in the
Atlantic or the Pacific, coming up from South America delivering
that poison to our country. We lose one hundred thousand

(01:09:39):
people a year, mostly young men from age eighteen to forty.
Those are kids. Those are young men that aren't coming home.
They aren't seeing their families ever again because they're dead.
And you've got Democrats that are supporting them, that are
worried about war crimes. They are completely on the wrong
side of this issue. President Trump is doing peace through strength.
He's using intelligence sharing, maritime roles, targeted strikes. They've got

(01:10:02):
lawyers out the Yin Yang that are making sure that
these things are legal. They're doing it right. But finally
they're showing strength and not weakness. They've shut down the border,
they've got the right policies in place, and finally they're
standing up to those that are taking advantage of our country,
whether that's China sending precursors or India, or whether it's
cartels shipping this stuff out of South America. And they're

(01:10:23):
doing the right thing. So I hope they keep it
up because we're on the right side of this issue.

Speaker 1 (01:10:27):
Yeah, the argument is that it's not about cartels, it's
about what's the word that they I guess.

Speaker 2 (01:10:39):
Everything's due process, right, And I have a hard.

Speaker 1 (01:10:42):
Time listening to people who are okay with Obama firing
that missile into the San Diego resident and his son's
apartment in Aman, Jordan, which is the thing that happened.
He wasn't even tried an obsession. That was an American citizen,
the two American citizens that we killed without any sort
of due process. But that being said, they would argue

(01:11:04):
that the Coast Guard. The Coast Guard has been doing
drug in addiction forever, and in fact, they just had
one where they didn't blow anything up and they seize
like twenty thousand pounds of cocaine, half of which was
coming here, half was going to Sumatra. Why is that
not an effective strategy versus this? Is it purely deterrence?

Speaker 8 (01:11:20):
What do you think it's darn good strategy. These folks
do not want to get in the boat. I'd be
really nervous, Like, hey, who doesn't like going for a
boat ride?

Speaker 7 (01:11:28):
Right?

Speaker 8 (01:11:28):
But I wouldn't. I would not want to be getting
in a boat and be, you know, one of these
that are captaining things up to our shores, you know,
especially you know, if it's full of drugs. He's doing
the right thing. I met with Dea last week, with
the administrator there, and he, you know, he sent me
a cell phone picture of that twenty thousand pounds of drugs.

(01:11:50):
I think that was coming out of Columbia. And it
happens all the time. Yeah, we're we're doing the right
thing here. We're on the right side of the law.
We're saving lives, and you know, we got to deal
with your problems here in the US with gateway drugs.
You got to deal with addiction here. That's one part
of the equation. But the stuff coming to our country,
whether it's precursors, whether it's this deadly fentanyl, whether it's methamphetamines,

(01:12:13):
the whole spectrum of these things. President Trump is doing
the right thing. He is making America great again, and
part of that is keeping poison off of our shores.

Speaker 2 (01:12:23):
Yeah.

Speaker 1 (01:12:23):
I actually know. I have a friend whose son in
in the Raleigh area.

Speaker 5 (01:12:28):
He died.

Speaker 1 (01:12:30):
He thought he was taking a party pill and it
had fentyl in there, and it killed him. And he
was you know, he was he was like super senior,
great kid, you know, doing the things, decided to get
wild on the weekend, and tragically that's what happened.

Speaker 8 (01:12:43):
You know, you've met, you've talked to Addison McDowell, congressman,
and you know he was working on my campaign long
before he was ever in office. And you know he
had to meet him in the parking lot when he
was getting the news that he had just lost his brother.
And it's one of the drivers for my policies that
are anti drug and anti fentanyl, the illegal side of this,

(01:13:05):
and then it was one of his as well. And
you know he's fighting every days. By the way, Addison's
doing a great job in Congress, and you know he's
gone up with really good policies. So many of us
were you know, your one degree away. I'm one or
two degrees away from people that have felt this personally.
They got family members that aren't coming home, they know
somebody that's deeply addicted, they know somebody that's died. We

(01:13:27):
got to stop this. This is a solvable problem. It's
a big problem. But we're losing one hundred hundred and
five thousand young, great people a year in our country
as a result of this. We've got to deal with it.
And I don't want to see any more heartbreaking broken
parents or loved ones, or spouses or boyfriends or girlfriends
that have just lost their loved one as a result
of this.

Speaker 1 (01:13:47):
What is let's talk about the other elephant in the
golf there. Columbia's one thing clearly doesn't seem like Trump
and Pietro, the president there, have a very good relationship.
He's also an ex gorilla dude, which if you look
into Colombia as a long and storied history, it's a
weird thing. But Venezuela, what is your comfort level with

(01:14:10):
what clearly looks to be the Trump administration trying to
usher regime change.

Speaker 8 (01:14:15):
I mean, yeah, they're they're putting the pressure there. First
of all, it's about drugs, but if you look at
what's going through Venezuela, and not only are they exporting
this poison we just talked about, but you have Russian
influence there, You've got Islamic influence there from the Middle East.
You've got including the Iranians as a proxy. You've got

(01:14:38):
them expropriating uh US assets there, including oil companies, and
they're they're impoverishing their own people there. So I think
President Trump's in the right but look, we've been there
for a month or more and we have not done
an invasion. We just want to increase the pressure. President
Trump doesn't like war. He wants peace. He wants peace

(01:14:59):
through strength, though not through weakness. And that's what you
saw under Biden, which leads to all the wars that
President Trump's having to solve right now. So he's doing
the right thing. You haven't seen this much fier power
in the Caribbean in a really, really long time. But
I think he's doing the exact right thing, you know,
taking it steady, one day at a time and increasing
the pressure.

Speaker 1 (01:15:19):
But what if the dude just says no, Because that's
where he's at right now, which is always actually he's
always insane to me centator because we told Saddam that
he could steal billions and leave and he's stuck around
and got hung. So I guess it's all about the
power man.

Speaker 8 (01:15:35):
Yeah, you have to increase the pressure, and that's exactly
what he's doing. And again he's not making any rash decisions.
And if you just look at how overmatched they are
by US power, I think you start close to home.
You solve your problems in your own backyard, which is
exactly where Venezuela is. Because you look at the influences,

(01:15:55):
You look at what they're sending to us, You look
at who they're allowing to take up presidence with, you
look at the Iranian influence, and you look at what
we just did with Operation Midnight Hammer. You don't want
that stuff on your shores. You don't want another Cuban
missile crisis from nineteen sixty sixty one right here in
our backyard in Venezuela. And so this is being headed
off by President Trump, and he's making the right decision.

(01:16:16):
Where this exactly goes, I don't know, but I will
tell you it would be controlled, it will be strong,
and it would be decisive.

Speaker 1 (01:16:22):
I think that there's just a lot of people who
sit there and go, oh, there's comedies in Central and
South America, and they've heard that before. If they're you know,
my age, your age right, because we got a lot
of stuff we were doing, you know, Santainistas and all that. Notwithstanding,
but if Trump is also wanting to run around and
brag that he hates warring, never wants to go to war,
is it really a deterrent if they don't think he'll

(01:16:44):
do it.

Speaker 8 (01:16:46):
You know, I think they think he will do it,
and they think he certainly can. So I think it's
a deterrent. It's certainly not escalating, it's not getting worse,
and you know, I think Town will tell. But he's
certainly operating with strength right now, and I think he's
making good decisions.

Speaker 1 (01:17:02):
Are you excited over the possibility that you could find
yourself on a committee with Senator or Jasmine Crockett.

Speaker 8 (01:17:11):
You know, it's sort of a weird thing in politics.
You're like, oh boy, you know, he'd like to run
against the cost of losing is so much worse, you know,
with her in Texas, but the ease of winning against
her is a lot better. So that's the dynamic of
the AOC Jasmine Crocket types. You know, they're to easier
to beat in a place like Texas because they're just

(01:17:34):
not good candidates. They can win in these isolated places
around Houston and whatnot, but they you know, they're not
great candidates. They don't work hard. They'll raise a lot
of money and make a lot of noise, But this
is probably a long term social media play for her
to have a podcast or something one day. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:17:51):
Oh no, she canna have a show on MSNBC on
the weekends. You know, from from a center race perspective, though,
North Carolina more interesting, and I think that's going to
be a hard or competitive The pulling is is is
very good for Cooper right now. I don't know if
that's because people don't know who Wattley is. I guess
a lot of people probably don't. I guess I'm asking

(01:18:14):
you kind of a political question there.

Speaker 2 (01:18:16):
What do you see?

Speaker 1 (01:18:18):
I mean, what do you guys when it's all the
Republicans in the room talking, do you have real concerns
about losing the Senate?

Speaker 2 (01:18:24):
Where? Where?

Speaker 1 (01:18:25):
Where do you.

Speaker 2 (01:18:25):
Think that might emanate from? And is there anything people
need to be paying attention to.

Speaker 8 (01:18:30):
Yeah, you're crazy if you're not worried about it. Of
course you do. A majority is majority is hard work.
But you got this is what we're here for. And
I'm very excited about Michael Wattley. I think he is
a strong candidate. He knows every single of the one
hundred counties in North Carolina. He has a ferocious work ethic,
He is strong demand that works NonStop. I think he

(01:18:53):
can raise the money in order then you raise money
so that you can get your message out. He's got
the right message, and you know, he's doing a lot
of backstage work right now, so when it's time when
people start focusing on this in the new year, he'll
be ready. But I talked to him probably talk text weekly,
and he is a strong candidate. But Cooper's never really

(01:19:13):
been punched that hard, and he's never you know, he's
never had a tremendously strong opponent. But I think he's
got a lot of vulnerabilities in the way he left
our state. But it will be a very very serious race.
You know, they both will. It will be a close race.
But I'm very optimistic with our chances here, and I
know Michael Wattley is a great candidate. We'll do a

(01:19:34):
great job.

Speaker 1 (01:19:35):
What happens if one of the House or the Senate goes,
I mean, what does that do to your guys's legislative plan.

Speaker 2 (01:19:44):
Clearly it's going to hamstring Trump. What does that look like?

Speaker 8 (01:19:48):
Well, Trump begins to operate as much executive authority as
he can, and then you work on most pass bills,
like the National Defense Authorization, which funds the military those
are things you can usually get through without the majority.
But first of all, let's just go back to trying
to win the majority. Let's focus on that, and let's
prove to the American people of the work we've been doing.

(01:20:09):
I think we've got a great case, to say, the
thing what we've done in rapid succession. Right now, we've
closed the border, We've put over three hundred nominees in
place right now, it's just been phenomenal, you know, what
we've been able to do. And I'm very proud of
our record.

Speaker 1 (01:20:27):
Okay, all right, Senator, I appreciate it. I always enjoy chatting.
So let's, you know, maybe we can do it again
before the end of the year or in the new
year to look forward to twenty twenty six.

Speaker 8 (01:20:37):
Okay, yeah, you name it. I'm there. Thanks so much
for having me.

Speaker 1 (01:20:41):
All Right, there you go, Senator Ted Budd joining us
here on the Cacoday radio program. All right, we got
news around the corner. And dude, have I got a
doozy for you?

Speaker 2 (01:20:53):
Where did I just put this story?

Speaker 1 (01:20:55):
Sorry, I just I was literally like reading this.

Speaker 2 (01:20:57):
Thing in the last break. I'm very excited too, I
get it.

Speaker 1 (01:20:59):
Well, I'll tell you what, we'll just we'll leave the
tea's there, but lots to come in the final half hour.
Stick around phone number eight eight eight nine three four
seven eight seven four back in.

Speaker 2 (01:21:10):
Just a few.

Speaker 1 (01:21:13):
See, I got about We're gonna try to rapid fire
some stories here because I at like six, I haven't
gotten two because it's too Monday. I know it's Tuesday,
but it's my Monday. So you know, it takes a
show to get the brain going on the on the week.
So this one, though, made me laugh. A thirty year
old man, his name is danaan Ari. I'm pronouncing that correctly.

(01:21:34):
Don't care, but I tried who uh well, he had
a case of the blaws. Those are his exact words,
and you'll understand how he used him here in a moment.
According to police, this was in Iowa. He posted up
off the side of a highway. What does he always

(01:21:56):
got a beautiful twenty twelve Chevy and Paula there and
removed his pants and underwear.

Speaker 2 (01:22:04):
To his ankles. I guess dropped trow and was just.

Speaker 1 (01:22:07):
Kind of casually standing there by the back of his
car but facing traffic, showing everybody the business and it
wasn't the first time. Police there in Iowa City, Iowa
say that I had actually gotten reports last week of
him doing the same thing or the week before, and

(01:22:29):
now they just by the time they got there, he
was gone, so this time not so much.

Speaker 2 (01:22:33):
When asked what was going on, like why are you
doing this.

Speaker 1 (01:22:36):
He said that he had quote a case of the
blaws and needed excitement that was currently missing in his life.
Just a very weird, stoic response to police, because like,
I mean, we've all been there getting a rut, most
of us just you know, don't go pantsless on the
side of the highway. Also, is this the time of

(01:22:58):
the year you should be doing that as a dude, Like,
you know, women you can get away with this year round,
but as a guy, if you want to put your
best foot forward, I don't know that you know, the
holiday season in you know, he's in Iowa where you
know it gets cold and snows. Like, let's say, hypothetically,
I wanted to go expose myself on the on I

(01:23:21):
forty after the show. I'm not picking December to do it.
That's a June or July operation really and August for
that matter. Person he got to deal with the mosquitos,
and that's the whole thing. But yeah, definitely wouldn't be
this time of the year. But yeah, he just kind
of like didn't even try to defend it. Just I

(01:23:42):
just got bored and needed something to do, like I
don't do fantasy football or something.

Speaker 2 (01:23:47):
I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:23:48):
But he also has a lengthy rap sheet on previous
and decent exposures, so it's his kink, I guess. But
now now he's got a lengthier one.

Speaker 2 (01:23:59):
So there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:24:00):
All right, check this out. This is more. This is
part of the show where I advise criminals on things, clearly,
because I just told the guy, hey, maybe in July
you'd be better doing that, because if not, you got
to stand on the side of the highway and everybody
drives by if their wide eyed and scream it's cold out,
and that just that seems like too much work. Here's

(01:24:20):
my other thing. If you're a judge and you get arrested,
you want to take the robe off before the mug shot.
I guess I don't know the rules. I'm not a jailer.
Are they not allowed to? They just got to take
the mugshot. He has clearly has a collared shirt under it.
Durham police arrested chief the chief Judge for Durham County's

(01:24:42):
District Court on allegations he assaulted a woman in domestic violence.
Clayton Jones Junior faces mismeanor charges of assault on a
female and domestic violence. Accused of what is He accused
of hitting her and grabbing her by the back of
the neck with his hand. Ummm, I guess they were
in a relationship. I'm just kind of scanning the report here.

(01:25:03):
When did this happen? November twenty ninth, so he was
booked in Orange County Detention. No longer in custody, but yeah,
I mean I think that's his Roby's wearing in this
mug shot, you know, because it's hard, but it almost
has to be.

Speaker 2 (01:25:18):
Yeah, you want to take that off.

Speaker 1 (01:25:20):
You don't want to be a notorious mugshot. This is
how this happens. Neber that guy who huffed the the
gold spray paint, that's forever. He's forever gold spray paint huffer.
He is an absolute legend, absolute legend on there, or
Gary Busey because they're like, hey, we arrested Gary Busey

(01:25:42):
and Gary Busey's like, I know I always looked disheveled,
but let me show you what that looks like cranked
up to an eleven. And you've never seen an Let
me wear a Hawaiian shirt while I do it. I
haven't seen that thing in ten years, and I remember
what it looks like.

Speaker 2 (01:25:57):
No, you wanna.

Speaker 1 (01:26:00):
You don't want to stand out because the internet's forever.
And if you're a judge and you're wearing your judge robe,
I suspect you're gonna end up on one of those websites.
It would probably be on the front of the Slammer.
Do they still have the Slammer?

Speaker 2 (01:26:14):
Let me ask my.

Speaker 1 (01:26:16):
Let me ask Trevor, our program director, is also running
the board today. Trevor, are you familiar with a newspaper
called the Slammer?

Speaker 5 (01:26:23):
I am not.

Speaker 1 (01:26:24):
Oh that predates your So when I first moved to Raleigh,
and you would go to like the if you go
to the BP across Capitol Bulevard by the studio there, yeah,
you could get a copy of this this little newspaper
called the Slammer, and it was just mug shots and
charges and and.

Speaker 2 (01:26:42):
Just all the wild stuff from around.

Speaker 1 (01:26:43):
They would just go and they just pull all the
mug shots from you know, like Wake County and Durham
and all over the state, and and like that thing
went like hotcakes.

Speaker 8 (01:26:51):
Man.

Speaker 2 (01:26:52):
I thought it was so funny.

Speaker 1 (01:26:53):
I'd never seen anything like that, so I guess maybe
the slammers no more.

Speaker 5 (01:26:56):
Was it free or did you have to pay for it?

Speaker 1 (01:26:59):
I think you had to pay for I can't remember,
you know what it was. I never really had to
pay for it, because inevitably copies would end up in
the in.

Speaker 2 (01:27:06):
The break room at the station. I don't know.

Speaker 1 (01:27:09):
I don't know if the g one O five people
like had a subscription or whatever, but it would always
show over the station. But yeah, or you could just
buy one at the or get one at.

Speaker 2 (01:27:17):
The gas station. I think you had to pay for it.

Speaker 1 (01:27:19):
It's actually you know, uh, printing costs aside from a content,
it's uh, it's got to be very cost efficient because
mug shots are they're not copyrighted, they're public domain. So
I just go out and that's all your material. Don't
have to hire reporters, just basically people to put it together.
It probably was a licensed to print money. I think

(01:27:40):
I see a Facebook group, oh for the Slammer. Yeah,
I don't know if Yeah, oh, it's probably still around.
My other my my favorite one is on Twitter and
it's called mug Shoddies. I can't pronounce shody the proper way,
but it's mug s h A W T y and
it's just smoke show chicks And then a lot of
times you have to guess what her crime was. But yeah, yeah,

(01:28:02):
So if you're hot and you're female and you get
arrested and there's a mug shot, you ending up on
mug Shoties. It's a fun follow. I highly recommend. The
funnest is when they don't know the charges, they just
get a copy of it and then the comment section
has to guess. But yeah, there was one chick on
there and they guessed that everyone was guessing, and then

(01:28:23):
they found out her charges were she got into a
fight with her boyfriend.

Speaker 2 (01:28:28):
She grabbed his.

Speaker 1 (01:28:32):
Berries and burst one of them. Okay, and people are like,
I can fix her, so and like maybe like Lance
Armstrong maybe, like you know, at that point, he's just
he's already in for in.

Speaker 2 (01:28:49):
For all that. But yeah, yeah, it's a good follow.

Speaker 1 (01:28:52):
Yeah, suggest people, Yeah, I guess apparently the slammers no more.

Speaker 2 (01:28:56):
That's unfortunate.

Speaker 1 (01:28:57):
All right, So that was my recommendation to the judge.
They're probably we take your uh probably gonna take your
robe off because I think this thing's probably gonna go viral,
all right and real quick. This Raleigh man sentenced to
prison for threatening to kill President Biden and a Secret
Service agent.

Speaker 2 (01:29:13):
I guess who is investigating it.

Speaker 1 (01:29:16):
Michael Fair got a sense of two years and three
months in prison after pleading guilty for threatening to kill
Biden and a US Secret Service agent. Yeah, so it
was the agent who came to investigate the original threat.
According to court dogment's Fair posted several comments on x

(01:29:36):
Twitter as we call it still here, including death threats
to the president. So the US Secret Service agents then
interviewed him four days later, and then he threatened to
kill the agent. Yeah, that's probably not how you should
handle that interview. In a statement, US attorney Ellis Boyle,
so the sentence makes clear threatening to murder the president.

(01:29:57):
Uh is Uh, Well, we'll bring swift in serious consequences.

Speaker 2 (01:30:00):
Look, here's the deal.

Speaker 1 (01:30:01):
This is the only thing I'll say about it, because
I people are gonna get all political about it. If
this is how we're going to do it. Then you
have to do it across the board, right, This is
this is the thing people don't know because they want
to turn this into.

Speaker 2 (01:30:15):
A political thing.

Speaker 1 (01:30:16):
If you're the prosecutor, and I I don't know Ellis
Boyle's record, but if you're the prosecutor, the US attorney here,
and you're going to be consistent on this, some people
may think two years is too much for a for
a threat. That's a separate discussion. Just you know, be consistent,
Just be consistent. And uh so there you go. All right,

(01:30:36):
a forty four race. Stage it from the Weather Channel.
We'll try it on the Comrades survey says, hey, love it.

Speaker 2 (01:30:43):
Is that better? Yeah?

Speaker 1 (01:30:46):
Yeah, clearly it's better because it's working.

Speaker 2 (01:30:48):
Yeah, right, we like things work around here.

Speaker 9 (01:30:54):
You know, I really don't think that we should say
that this is going to be the trend for the winter.
I mean, it's not even winter yet, and not only
have we had two threats, but one has actually come
a little bit more reality with up to half an
inch around the triangle of snow and ice one point
two o our Centerville just to the northeast, the triad
coming in with about half an inch. A lot of

(01:31:15):
that north though, from Stanleyville's half an inch to almost
an inch at Bethany, but up near the border North
Carolina and Virginia had some one to three inch totals,
and even higher totals into Virginia over seven inches in
some spot. Now the winter weather advisory covering most of
us up basically north. The further north you go there
still could be some slick spots. Everybody just kind of

(01:31:36):
traveling around cautiously, especially as you are going north today
and this morning.

Speaker 2 (01:31:40):
Other than that cloud and.

Speaker 9 (01:31:41):
Some sun upper thirties maybe forty in spots, Tonight will
drop to the twenties, and tomorrow some partial sun, augusty
southwest breeze, so that'll get us into the upper forties
to low fifties, and then Thursday and Friday will cool
off a little mid upper forties, back in mostly sunny,
so the rest of the week dry and then kind
of up and back down a little bit in terms
of temperatures. The weekend looks okay with sunshine a little bit,

(01:32:04):
fifties both days before we get colder on Monday. Monday,
I think we struggle to get out of the thirties
so pretty cold Monday morning, maybe even some teens around,
especially the Triad West, closer to twenty or low twenties
for the Triangle. So after today we should be done
with the winter weather for at least the next five
to seven days, hopefully beyond that.

Speaker 1 (01:32:24):
Okay, all right, well, I know there's been a lot
of accidents, so yeah, they're just relearning to drive in
this stuff.

Speaker 9 (01:32:29):
So yeah, every year we've got to do it, don't we.

Speaker 2 (01:32:31):
Yeah, yeah, all right, thanks sir, appreciate it.

Speaker 1 (01:32:33):
Go ahead, and we're gonna come back here in just
a few with Denise Pellegrini and a very interesting liquor
store robbery.

Speaker 2 (01:32:42):
More so, what was used. We'll get into that coming up.

Speaker 1 (01:32:44):
Hang on three year Bloomberg update now with Denise Pellegrine.
Good morning, Denise, what's up?

Speaker 7 (01:32:51):
Hey?

Speaker 10 (01:32:51):
Good morning. I want to start with Uber because it's
introducing physical kiosks for people to use the ride hailing
service without having to order a car on the app.
These kiosks will include a large touch screen with a
credit card reader a receipt printer. They'll be installed at
places like airports, intended for international visitors who arrive without
a local data planner. Anyone who just prefers an in

(01:33:14):
person experience. Recalled airbags aren't getting fixed. Wall Street Journal
says more than two and a half million vehicles, around
twenty two percent of affected vehicles remain unfixed. That's according
to data they got from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration,
and it found twelve people who died casey after crashes
in vehicles where the airbags were under recall but hadn't

(01:33:35):
been repaired and didn't deploy Alphabet's Google is working to
create two different categories of artificial intelligence powered smart glasses.
This will be to compete with existing models from meta platforms,
and they will be out next year. Today's day, most
Americans begin sending out holiday cards. When you care enough
to send the very best, get ready to spend big bucks.

(01:33:57):
Though regular season greeting card sell for two to four
dollars each, even more for photo cards if you go
to Whole Foods, I think they cost all eate bucks each.
They're beautiful but not cheap, and then you tack on
the price of stamp. Sending out fifty cards could run
you more than two hundred and fifty dollars, making the
greeting card market a four point two billion dollar business,

(01:34:17):
millions of cards and annually. Pretty incredible considering all that
you can do with the cards, email, texts, FaceTime, all
that stuff. Stock Future is pointing to a lower open
right now, but not too bad. Dow futures down thirty
s and p futures just losing four, NASDA futures tumbling
forty six. Paris Hilton and International Delight are partnering to
make coffee hot again. This is a new collection of

(01:34:39):
coffee creamers and cold foam flavors inspired by Paris Hilton's
personal style. According to International Delight and Casey, if you
know someone looking for a job, applications to drive Oscar
Meyer's Wiener mobile are open. This is a one year job.

Speaker 1 (01:34:56):
Okay.

Speaker 10 (01:34:56):
They hired like more than a dozen drivers to do.
And what you do is you drive this twenty seven
foot long hot dog on wheels, essentially obviously the shape
of you know, Oscar Meyer's product across the US. And
you also get to help the company develop brand content
while you're doing it. I guess that means listening to
what consumers say they might like and pushing those great

(01:35:19):
ideas upstairs. This job has like paid time off of
eighteen days. They pay for all your hotel expenses and
you get healthcare benefits.

Speaker 1 (01:35:27):
So it's kind of well, you'll get just a cool job.

Speaker 10 (01:35:31):
I mean, I guess you could.

Speaker 2 (01:35:34):
I just did.

Speaker 1 (01:35:34):
The thing's so big it should have like you know,
I thought it was like a camper inside, you know how.

Speaker 10 (01:35:40):
It curls up at the back end. I've always wanted
to see like all the way and said, what is
it that part that like curls up from there, so
like a waterbed in there, like like a stripper. Okay,
I didn't go that far, but it does have kind
of a party movable Yeah, that's part you kind of.

Speaker 1 (01:36:00):
Vibe one of those like the bachelor party buses you
get or Bachelor.

Speaker 5 (01:36:05):
I bet.

Speaker 10 (01:36:06):
I bet when they hire people they screen out the
people who have that anything.

Speaker 8 (01:36:13):
Yeah in mind.

Speaker 10 (01:36:14):
Well I'm not making any judgments. I'm just saying they
probably look for those, you know, not that it's one
or the other, but those who you know want to
go to business school after that and it is a
cool opportunity.

Speaker 2 (01:36:25):
Well, it's great. The marketing is this.

Speaker 1 (01:36:27):
We're doing the marketing for them because every year there
is this story, right, they could they could reasonably retain people,
but they get this free pump every year by firing
everybody and then hiring other people.

Speaker 10 (01:36:38):
Yes, that's true, that's true, the idea, the idea. No,
I mean it is true because basically they do do that.
But at the same time, you know, it's kind of
like an internship, right, It's an entry level position, and
they want fresh ideas every year from different people. It's

(01:36:59):
not just about driving the vehicle. It's about Okay, what
cool new product could we come up with.

Speaker 5 (01:37:05):
I'm going to get that.

Speaker 2 (01:37:06):
There, hire me. I just solved it, all right, Denise,
I got to roll very much. I'll be the productive conversation.

Speaker 7 (01:37:12):
So all right, there you go.

Speaker 1 (01:37:14):
Denise Peligrini from Bloomberg News speaking of people who like
to do things a little differently. Check this out a
police said.

Speaker 2 (01:37:24):
This is in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Speaker 1 (01:37:25):
Police says that a man attempted to rob a liquor
store what is his Primos wine and spirits.

Speaker 2 (01:37:32):
Not that probably anyone knows what.

Speaker 1 (01:37:34):
That is, but a liquor store on Friday night, but
it's the device he used to attempt to rob it.

Speaker 2 (01:37:40):
Now, I am disappointed.

Speaker 1 (01:37:41):
Because in the teaser part of this story and in
the in the employees description, they claim that he used
an old timy musket, and I just thought about, like,
