your support. So city officials held a press conference today.
I'm I'm pulling the plug on it. I can't do anymore.
I cannot listen to any more of it. And frankly,
I got to the part where I had gotten into
the studio and gotten the links working, and so I
heard the remaining questions there, and there really wasn't much
except for a question about turnstiles that we haven't covered yet,
where they were like, well, you know, if you put
the turnstiles in, it slows everything down, you know, because
we want to be able to provide the ten minute
intervals on the light rail in fifteen minutes on the buses,
So if you put turnstiles in, it slows it down.
And we have an open system, and it was designed
as an open system and it's integrated into the community
and all of this. And so you you know, if
you were to harden the transit platform the train platforms,
I mean, there's a huge expense in doing that, right,
because you have to now wallet in and then you
have to put turnstiles in, and then that slows down
the whole process. And it wasn't designed as that, and
most light rail systems are open systems. So that was
what the answer to that was. So it doesn't sound
like they're going to be doing you know, turnstiles or
a closed system. Doesn't seem like there's any appetite for that.
Let me see if I can clear out some of
the texts that people have been sending in. I've got
a bunch of them here. So this is from an
eight O three number. What's an unarmed security guard going
to do when an incident happens use harsh language, Well,
they will call to they'll call for backup. That's what
they're there for, right, visible presence. And maybe you don't
know if that visible presence has a firearm, right because like,
I don't want to tell these people how to do
their jobs. But if it's me, I'm making all of
the armed and unarmed security personnel look the same, all
have the same uniforms, right, all wearing the same stuff.
So this way nobody knows who actually is armed and
who isn't. So this way it's a force multiplier kind
of a thing, right, It's an it's sort of an
air marshal model where you don't know if that person
is simply an unarmed person or that they are actually
a law enforcement off duty CMPD wearing you know, wearing
the uniform, although I guess they would probably wear their
own uniforms CMPD. I think they're allowed to wear their
uniforms when they're doing the moonlighting gigs. Right, So that
so that was it. He also mentioned fair evasion, you know,
pointing out the New York City subway, you know, the
New York system. They've lost a billion dollars in fair evasion.
But I broke all those all that data down like
a week ago. I find that to be a not
very helpful comparative because we have no idea what our
number is. We have no idea like as a proportion
of the total ridership, what is fair What is the
portion of riders that are evading the fares. And by
the way, the New York number included toll roads people
who don't pay on the toll roads, and the HOV
lanes and stuff, so it's not quite a billion dollars,
but still, yes, they lose a lot of money also
in fair evasion, and they been trying to crack down
on that in New York City subways and the Long
Island Railroad as well. However, if I don't know what
proportion of the ridership is fair evading in New York City,
and I don't know what the proportion of the ridership
is fair evading in Charlotte, or what that cost is,
I have no idea how to compare our system to theirs.
So you telling me that New York City has lost
a billion dollars because of fair evasion, I mean, that's
an interesting number, but I don't know what to do
with that number. I like that that cannot guide any
kind of a decision here because there's no comparative. Okay, yeah,
let me I'll go ahead and get Brian here front
of the line. Brian, welcome to the show.
Speaker 2: Hey, how's it going?
Speaker 1: Oh, you know, it's going all right, how's it going
with you?
Speaker 3: Oh it's beautiful.
Speaker 1: Man's beautiful.
Speaker 2: Yeah, Charlie, that's a magnificent city.
Speaker 3: I love it.
Speaker 1: No problems at all, right, I don't have any at all. No,
that's awesome for you. No, that's fantastic.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: And you know when I was called, I was talking
to you guys that answers the phone, and I'm like, man,
all these complaints that these people are having about Charlotte
and crime, and you know, the police are not doing
their job. They can't do this or do that or whatver.
Speaker 1: Nobody said the police aren't doing Nobody said police aren't
doing their job. Well, everybody, what I have said, no, Brian,
hang on. What I have said is that the police
are doing their job and the breakdown is occurring in
the court system.
Speaker 2: Okay, well the court system is not doing this job.
And if you have all these complaints, and your constituents
have all these complaints, why don't you I just move?
Speaker 1: Ah there you go, so shut up, yeah right, shut up.
So this thank you for articulating the go to argument
of the left, which is shut up, just stop talking
about these things. Don't try to improve anything, right, hang on, Brian,
So do you understand what what what's seeking redress from
your government means? Do you know what that means?
Speaker 2: Am I allowed to speak?
Speaker 3: Now? Yeah?
Speaker 1: I asked you a question.
Speaker 2: Okay, So is isn't it like when people complain about America?
Don't you guys say, hey, man, if you don't like American.
Speaker 1: Lead No, No, I'm saying no, I'm saying, if you
want to fundamentally transform Brian. Okay, you asked me a question,
so now I'm going to answer. Unlike you not answering
my question, So I'm going to answer your question, which
was that when you don't want to me, I don't know, Okay,
And that's why I asked if you know it's right?
So you can seek redress from your government? This is
constitutionally prete.
Speaker 2: What does redress mean?
Speaker 1: It means if you have. It means if you have grievances,
you have complaints, if you need to be compensated. If
you have you know you you've got something that you
need the government to do. You need to be able
to petition the government for redressed, for for a fix,
for a solution.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: So, so what you consider to be complaining, couldn't that
also be seeking redress.
Speaker 2: You however you want it.
Speaker 1: But no, that that is exactly what it is, though, Brian,
this is democracy.
Speaker 2: I understand that. But that's the answer that you get
when people complain about American complain about what's going on,
they lead the country.
Speaker 1: No, no, no, no, Okay, So I'm gonna go all right,
I will answer no, I will answer. Number one is
twofold number one. A lot of conservatives have already left
Charlotte number one because because they recognize the direction that
Charlotte is going. Number two, let them all lead. Yeah,
there you go, see there, shut up right, that's that
you are articulate. You are articulating. They hang on, hang on, Brian, Brian, Brian, Brian,
Brian stopped. I'm answering your question. Still. So that was
number one. A lot of conservatives have left. But number two,
there's a difference between there's a difference between complaining about
policies that are in place versus trying to fundamentally transform
the very institutions that make the country or in this case,
the city what it is. There's a difference.
Speaker 2: Okay, So who's trying to who's trying to do that?
Speaker 1: Well, when conservatives pushed back, and when people say we
want to fundamentally transform our country, conservatives and constitutionalists would say, well,
then you should find another country to go to. Right,
you should leave because that's not the founding principles upon
which our country was built.
Speaker 2: Man, that's so much garbage you that is, that's the.
Speaker 1: Answer to It's not garbage, Brian, not so, Brian. It's
not the same issues America.
Speaker 2: And that is so much garbage that you put in out.
Believe that's garbage.
Speaker 1: Explain why, all right, Explain why it's garbage. Explain why?
Explain why, Brian? Explain why?
Speaker 2: Explain why?
Speaker 1: Use your words. Try to find some good words and
use your words to explain why my argument was garbage.
Explain it what you said.
Speaker 2: What you're saying is that when we're telling you to
leave America, it's because you're trying to fundamentally change I
know what I said.
Speaker 1: You said it was garbage. You don't have to repeat
my words. I'm asking you what I'm getting.
Speaker 2: Are you going to keep interrupted mail?
Speaker 1: If you waste my time and we're up against the break,
You're damn right, I am, so get to your point.
Explain it. You're not addressing it I'll tell you what, Brian,
I'll tell you what. I'm gonna put you on hold, Brian,
and in the during the break, try to think up
an explanation for why what I said is garbage. Not
just to keep saying it's garbage, but why think about it.

contemplate a response. A simple question that I asked was why,
because he said what I had said was garbage, And
I asked him why, explain to me why it's garbage,
and Brian, uh, oh, well, now, so Brian did not
hang on. I am as shocked as you. This is
this is what I mean when I say democrats the
left have become intellectually flabby. You have not worked out
your rhetorical muscle enough to formulate an argument that would
approach persuasiveness. You have no answer. Brian's only response was
a form of shut up. That's what he is advising
for all the people that disagree with the way Charlotte
is run. Even though we live here, we are allowed
to comment on our democracy, right, we are allowed to
participate in the democracy. We're allowed to be a part
of this. In fact, we helped build it. Yeah, for
two hundred plus years. People that Brian hates have built
the city that he enjoys now, and now that he
has the upper hand politically speaking, he now says, leave,
shut up, go build another city someplace else, so we
locusts can come in and destroy that too. So no,
I mean no, I'm I'm not going to stop talking
about the policy failures of our local government. It's not
going to happen. Brian. Sorry, not sorry, But for anybody
who was confused like Brian, there is a difference when saying,
you know, I love Charlotte. I want Charlotte to be
the best it can be, and I want to have
policies within the framework of our principles are founding principles
of a free market and a free people right. I
want those principles to guide the policies, and so we
want these specific changes. I want our city to be safe,
and so here are the policy changes I want to see.
That's what's called participating in civic life. That is participatory government.
And just because you don't have an answer, because you
can't defend your position, just because you don't have an
explanation as to why things have gotten worse, and you
don't want to hear people complaining about why they've gotten worse.
You don't want to hear it. That doesn't mean I
shut up. In fact, it makes me talk more. I
will keep talking more. In fact, you should take your
own advice there, Brian, and you should just leave the
audience because obviously what I am saying and what the
audience is saying, and people are talking about, and they're
concerned about crime and safety, and you don't care to
hear it. So why don't you get the hell out
of my audience? How about that? Right, that's what you want.
But it's interesting that he's saying we should all get out,
we should leave, we should shut up. But he didn't
like it when he heard conservatives saying you should leave.
And then when I explained to him the core difference
in the arguments is that one is a policy level
and one is a principle level. And he said that's garbage,
and he had no explanation. I said I would hold
him over. He could think about an answer to explain
why the argument is garbage. And rather than you know,
walk towards the fight, he fled. He bailed intellectually flabby. Right,
he's rhetorically weak. He cannot make an argument, and so
he just says shut up, throws insults and runs away.
And that, my friend, is why Democrats suck at governance.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 1: You guys are not persuading anybody. You're not winning hearts
and minds, right, You're just doing the power trip. So
it's unfortunate that you know, we have to live here
while you guys go through these masturbatory motions. But you
know here we are, and no, I've been I've been
following city policy in Charlotte for twenty six years. I'm
not going to stop now because you don't want to
hear what I have to say. So he's just go
tune into somebody else that tells you everything you want
to hear. Steve, Welcome to the show.
Speaker 3: Hello Steve, Hey, Pete, how you doing.
Speaker 1: Hey, I'm good. What's up?
Speaker 3: Okay, got a couple things here real quick. We got
this election coming up in about what four weeks?
Speaker 1: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, So I'm seventy six years old and I've lived
in Charlotte my entire life except for my time in
the military during Vietnam, and I've been here ever since.
And it breaks my heart to see what I'm seeing
in this city. But I want to ask you a
question about the mayor's ray. Do you know do you
know who Terry Donovan is?
Speaker 1: She's the Republican in the race.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, unless I've just not heard anything at all
from from WBT, I don't hear this woman's name being
even mentioned that she's running against the mayor, much less
getting any support. And uh, I'm just going to encourage
you get her on your show this okay, But we
only got four weeks, Pete, and uh, and this woman
is outstanding. And the other thing is the North Carolina
g o P isn't even uh getting her name out here.
Speaker 1: You know why that is? No, you have no idea
why that is?
Speaker 3: Why why the GOP isn't isn't supporting her?
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, they are supporting her, But why is it
that her campaign doesn't have a lot of financial backing?
Speaker 3: Why does it not have a lot Yeah, I can't
answer that.
Speaker 1: Okay, I will tell you it's because the voter demographics
in Charlotte make it a bad bet when you have
limited resources, if you have to devote money to a
to a you know, let's say you've got you know,
you got one hundred races across the state. You're the
state party right, you got one hundred races, you got
legislative battles, you got some municipal battles and stuff. Or
you're the county party and you're trying to raise money,
but you've got some city council seats going, you got
the mayor's race, you got you know whatever other races.
You're trying to work on. Legislative races too. When you
look at the voter demographics by party registration, you have
a decision to make about how much money to spend
on advertising for a race that will likely not you
will you are not likely to win because there are
not enough Republicans in Charlotte City limits to vote for
a Republican candidate. Like we look this audience, the WBT
audience does not approve of the job that Mayor vy
Lyles has been doing. Right, I think that's fair to say.
If I had to, if I had to guess, I
would say our audience is not happy with her. That
being said, how much of our audience lives inside the
city of Charlotte and can actually vote against her, Right,
that's a smaller segment, but more importantly, outside of our audience,
democrats like her. The business, the business community. They're fine
with her. They're absolutely fine with her because she she
plays ball with them.
Speaker 3: So that's part of the problem.
Speaker 1: But that's what you're up against. But that's what you're
up against. That's why you don't hear the advertising. You
don't see a lot of you know, see a lot
of ads on TV. There's because that's what any Republican
is running up against. Any Republican.
Speaker 3: Can I read you a quote from Kyle Kirby?
Speaker 1: Okay? How long is it?
Speaker 3: Oh? Not even a paragraph? Okay Megelberg County UFP chhair
Kyle Kirby joined to support her candidacy. What it does
is gives us an opportunity to show how the city
and the county have been mismanaged over the last few years,
the last decade even and gives us an opportunity to
bring accountability and show people what true governance is like. Now,
how can you make that statement? And then this is
the only person, I mean, where's the GOP over these
last ten years pitting people against these communists we have
run in our city.
Speaker 1: They have ain't putting Steve. Maybe they haven't Steve. First off,
you all right, I'm gonna have to put you on
holl because I'm gonna be late for the news. They
have put people up and they get blown out. And
you have to have people that run for the office
that are willing to run, and that's another problem. So
when I was a kid, my grandpa died with Alzheimer's,
and before he died, my mom and my dad took
care of him as he got worse. Forty years ago,
there were no treatments and not much support for caregivers
and family. But things are different today because of the
work of so many people, including the Alzheimer's Association of
Western Carolina. It's a great organization with awesome people with
huge hearts. I've been a supporter for twenty five years.
This cause means a lot to me. I participate in
the annual Walk to End Alzheimer's and I'm leading a
Charlotte team again this year, and it's called once again
Pete's Pack. You can sign up and you can join
the team and walk with us. It's on October eighteenth
that truest field sign up at alz dot org slash
walk and then you could search for my team name
Pete's Pack. There's also a link at the petepod dot com.
There's also a link in the description of this podcast. Also,
I'll be am seeing the Gastonia Walk on October eleventh,
and so you can make a team and join that
one too, or make a donation and help me hit
my goal of five thousand dollars. If you do, I
really appreciate it. There are a bunch of other walks
all over the Carolinas. You can go to alz dot
org slash walk for all the dates and locations. We're
closer than ever to stopping Alzheimer's. Can you help us
get there? Will you walk with me? For a different future,
for families, for more time for treatments. This is why
we walk, all right, let me see if Steve is
still there. He's still there, Steve? Yes, all right, yes, sir.
So the question on whether or or you know why
Republicans don't even field candidates, and there are a couple
different reasons for this, depending on what races you're looking at.
But if you're specifically looking at, like the judicial races,
to get more Republican judges. Number one, it's very difficult,
right because of the voter registration demographics in Mecklamburg County,
there are not a lot of Democrats that are going
to vote for Republican judges. It does happen. It happens
more so than the other way around. But Republican candidates
for judge don't usually win.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: And so if you are a lawyer in meccliberg County
and you're a Republican lawyer, you are then going up
against a legal community that is predominantly Democrat. And when
you do that, right, you're now going to be going
to your colleagues or people that are, you know, lawyers
also that you are arguing cases against, Like you know
this lawyer, you've been in court together, you've worked together
at some other firm, whatever. This is your professional network,
you know, and now you're going to be running against
a judge and they're all putting money against you, right,
And so that then creates concerns that if I appear
before this person I'm trying to unseat, am I going
to get a fair shake? Right? It's a like there's
a professional component to this for lawyers running as judges.
Speaker 3: Okay, okay, I understand that, but but Pete, could we
consider that what's what we've experienced in the last sixty
days here in Charlotte with with our mentally sick mayor
and all this stuff that's that's come out about how
absolutely horrible they are and they have no heart for
somebody being murdered. Don't you think this could change some
of the hearts of Democratic voters that could say, Hey,
this ain't right, We're going to vote for somebody else
per mayor. Do you not think that could happen?
Speaker 1: Sure, I mean it could happen. I mean anything could happen.
Speaker 3: Yeah. Well, I just my heart just goes out to
this woman. She's she's not known, she has an excellent history,
you know, of her past performances in life, and I
just I really want to encourage all of you guys
on BT give this lady's name as much exposure as
you can because people don't know her, and the ncg
OP isn't helping anybody to know her because of money.
Just money. Well you explained it to me.
Speaker 1: Right, Well, that's my assumption, right. I don't know if
they're not doing anything to help her. I don't know
if that's true. But yeah, again, if they if they
have a pot of money and they're looking at races
to back candidates and they're going to make a determination
based on whether or not they think somebody can win.
Right now, I don't know how much money they have
they've helped her with their campaign or resources, call banking,
text messaging, right, So I just I don't know that.
So like I would just I would just be hesitant
to say that they're not helping her at all, because
they may.
Speaker 3: They don't. There's no advertisements on your radio station for
her from them there that would billboards, there's no nothing
out there with her name on it anywhere. Right.
Speaker 1: But also part of that is going to be up
to her her campaign, right she has agency in here
as well. She has the ability to raise money and
buy advertising as well. But like I said, our audience,
those that live inside the city of Charlotte, our audience
is probably going to vote for her, right right. So
the question then is how do you get people so
like from her campaign standpoint, Let's say she's got you know,
thirty thousand dollars. I don't know what she's I have
no idea what she's been able to raise. But let's
say she has like twenty thirty thousand dollars, are you
going to spend that on campaign ads? On WBT where
you know you're already going to get those City of
Charlotte Republican leaning voters to vote for you anyway, or
maybe you spend that money on digital advertising that you
can target to unaffiliated voters that are less likely to vote. Right,
So there are better There may be better ways that
the campaign has decided to spend the money that you're
not seeing because you're not the tar. They know that
you're you're going to turn out and vote for her
by your your your track record, because they have all
that data. They know every single race you voted in,
if you voted in the Republican primaries, right, they know
you are an a voter. They've got your vote on Lockdown.
They don't have to worry about you. So they're going
to spend that money trying to get people that aren't lockdown.
They're going to maybe do that, or maybe they do
a get out the vote efforts, right like work with
some you know, get some vans going, some churches going
to help get out the vote, souls to the polls
kind of a thing. Right, So I don't know how
they're allocating their resources. So okay, right, just because you're
not seeing it doesn't mean they're not doing stuff.
Speaker 3: Okay, that that helps me a lot, Pete. Now I
appreciate that about you. I do have one other question
I'd like to get your thoughts on, and then I'll
get off of here. You know, if if say, some
guy breaks into somebody's home and shoots them and then
they run away and somebody's harboring them, hiding them, that
person hiding them is charged as an accessory to that crime.
Speaker 1: Correct, right, yes, correct.
Speaker 3: Okay, So here here's my solution for stopping all of this.
The magistrate, the mayor, the city council, this worthless DA
meriweather that we have. All of these people should be
charged as accessory to murder for what happened on that
choot you train at Pat McCrory put in town.
Speaker 1: All right, So I will tell you this all of
that slight flaw in your in your in your proposal, Steve,
and then I got to let you go. Slight flaw
is that the charges would have to be filed by
the DA himself. So I don't think he's gonna do it,
not against himself. I appreciate the call. Good conversation, Steve.

I think it's right, the Roval Brett Winter we like
to call uh Pregaming with Brett bred Winter three to
six weekdays here on wbt UH this being the Friday
final segment, we do a pregame where he joins me
and then I joined him for the first segment of
his show for the hangover, which actually was first. This
was Brett's idea to do the hangover first, and then
I co opted his idea and made him come in
early to do the pre Yes. So, hey, have you
heard that Apple I Tunes or I Store whatever it's called.
I'm not an Apple guy. They they removed the ice
block app yes from their store.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: Are you okay with that? That Apple? Apple is censoring
the ice block app.
Speaker 4: It's kind of interesting because they were getting progressively better.
I think because if you go back to the San
Bernardino terrorist attack way back in the in the old
days of the Obama days, when there was never terrorism
except when there was terrorism. Right, Remember, Apple refused to
break into their iPhones back in the day, and they
had to go the I think the fan belt inspectors
had to go to Israel and get somebody to give
them that technology, and they did it. They were able
to crack into the stuff. So I say that this
is maybe a glimmer of Apple potentially being patriotic in
some ways. Somewhat sane, Yeah, somewhat sane. I mean, you know,
I don't know. I don't know what Wozniak thinks about it,
but but I do think I think this is progress,
especially when you're dealing with, you know, people attempting to
murder federal officers in broad daylight or dark of night.
And boy, how how it's all shifted because I thought
once upon a time you were not allowed to fight uh,
federal agents like at J six. Right now, I guess
it's okay. So what is the what is the declension
of this?
Speaker 3: I don't understand.
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's well so for folks who are not aware.
Ice Block was this app developed by I got the
moron's name here, some Joshua Aaron and he uh, he
is disappointed. He says, it's capitulation to an authoritarian regime.
Hmmm mm hmm. And I says he's determined to fight
this with everything we have, which he doesn't really have
much anymore because they took us away. But and the
Ice block app was sort of this crowd sourcing app
where if you saw Ice operating someplace, you would drop
a pin, you would, you would tap the map and say, oh,
Ice is here, and then people like Antifa they could
then descend on that area and attack the Ice agents.
Speaker 4: Well, you know what, He's probably gonna find out what
do sing looks like because the agents now know who
it was that was behind.
Speaker 2: For all of this.
Speaker 1: Mm hmm.
Speaker 4: I'm just I mean, I'm just sauce for the goose,
sauce for the gander.
Speaker 1: Indeed, do you call it sauce or is it gravy?
Speaker 4: Gravy is usually Sunday night dinner.
Speaker 1: Do you wait, do you say gravy as in tomato sauce? No, okay,
it's I say sauce.
Speaker 4: Okay, yes, it's like sauce, sauce gardener, really really good
talented saucy.
Speaker 1: Right, So like you, but you are of Italian heritage
and that's a big thing, right, Like I had Italian
people on my fan.
Speaker 4: Gravy was always big on with the Italians once upon
a time.
Speaker 1: Right, And I didn't realize this. And they would serve
tomato sauce and they call it gravy, and like, why
is this gravy? This so all right? So here's a
question for you, sir. Would you sit in a burning
house for five hundred thousand dollars? No, even if it
was for a YouTuber? No, even if they had like,
you know, safety people and stunt teams and stuff, They're like,
you just sit in the house while it burns around you.
Speaker 4: No, I'm not. I'm not that kind of guy.
Speaker 3: Man.
Speaker 4: It's just one of those things.
Speaker 1: Half a million dollars, How about a million?
Speaker 3: Nope?
Speaker 1: How about ten million? No, ten million dollars. I would
do it for ten million dollars. I think you would.
I think so Yac. Isaac would do it probably. I
think Isaac would do it for like twenty grand? Whoa,
what would you twenty grand? Yeah?
Speaker 4: Shots?
Speaker 3: Shots?
Speaker 2: Shots?
Speaker 1: Fy it?
Speaker 2: I don't know.
Speaker 1: I probably do it for a grand? Somebody?
Speaker 2: Is this a maybe?
Speaker 1: We'd we already knew what Isaac was we're just now
settling on a price. So that's why, right, I was
giving him the benefit of the doubt, going going twenty grand,
ten grand in yeah, that area. But I didn't think
he'd do it for a thousand because like, like, so
this is for people who don't know who mister Beast is.
He's like the biggest YouTuber. He's in North Carolina as
a matter of fact, his name is Jimmy Donaldson. He
goes by mister Beast and they do these types of
videos and he does a lot of charity work and
stuff he makes. He makes where is it here? He's
got four hundred and forty one million subscribers on YouTube
and they Forbes named him the top content creator on
Planet Earth with earnings of eighty five million dollars. What
does he do with all that money? He buys houses
and sets them on fire. Oh that's awful, and he
puts people in them. Now, this guy that they put
in there was a stunt man. He was a professional stuntman,
and they had a whole team around him. He put
out this big statement saying it was all safe. But
I was just curious if like you with no stunting experience,
I have none, Menia, you would even do it for
ten mil? I would Yeah, I would probably do it
for a million. All right, that'll do it for this episode.
