You should subscribe as I do. 13 00:00:43,960 --> 00:00:47,240 All the cool kids are doing it. Andrew, how are you, sir? 14 00:00:48,560 --> 00:00:52,200 Speaker 2: Oh, I'm doing well. The purveying is going is continuing 15 00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:53,000 to go well. 16 00:00:53,320 --> 00:00:57,479 Speaker 1: Good good. He purveys as none other. So you've got 17 00:00:57,479 --> 00:01:01,320 a piece up at long Leaf Politics races that you 18 00:01:01,399 --> 00:01:05,400 are watching for this election. And honestly, I don't really 19 00:01:05,439 --> 00:01:08,319 care about like five of the races because they're not 20 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:11,680 in the local area. So I just wanted to pick 21 00:01:11,719 --> 00:01:14,359 your brain on the ones that are local here to us. 22 00:01:14,359 --> 00:01:19,959 In Charlotte. So first off, we've got the Charlotte Mayor's 23 00:01:20,079 --> 00:01:25,840 race and the city council race, and I don't know, 24 00:01:25,879 --> 00:01:27,439 you say, a good night is going to be if 25 00:01:27,560 --> 00:01:31,920 Krista Bakari wins in District six. A great night will 26 00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,959 be if Edwin Peacock is able to secure one of 27 00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,120 the at large seats. An unbelievable night would be if 28 00:01:40,159 --> 00:01:44,920 Republican Terry Donovan would just make it close for Mayor 29 00:01:45,040 --> 00:01:48,439 vy Lyles. Okay, so let's kind of assess this. I'm 30 00:01:48,439 --> 00:01:52,200 going to start from the Terry Donovan point in unbelievable night, 31 00:01:52,239 --> 00:01:54,840 not that she wins, just that she makes it close. 32 00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:57,599 That's what you think would be an unbelievable night. 33 00:02:00,079 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the numbers, the numbers are what the 34 00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:06,200 numbers are. I mean, if you look at how Mecklenburg 35 00:02:06,239 --> 00:02:08,680 County has been trending, I mean, it's no surprise it's 36 00:02:08,719 --> 00:02:13,280 getting deeper and deeper blue. And you know, look at 37 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,039 two years ago or one year ago, twenty twenty four. 38 00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:19,919 I mean, even Steve Troxler is only getting thirty three, 39 00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:23,039 thirty four percent of the vote in Mecklenburg County and 40 00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:28,159 he's the most popular Republican vote wise in North Carolina. 41 00:02:29,879 --> 00:02:34,000 I just don't think anything has changed that much that 42 00:02:34,039 --> 00:02:37,719 would change the overall dynamics. I think if Terry Donovan 43 00:02:39,199 --> 00:02:43,199 can keep by Lyle's vote total under sixty percent, I 44 00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:46,000 think that's a huge, huge win and a big statement. 45 00:02:46,599 --> 00:02:47,560 Speaker 1: What is the statement? 46 00:02:49,439 --> 00:02:53,039 Speaker 2: The statement is that Charlotte is not doing enough to 47 00:02:53,919 --> 00:02:57,560 put a handle on crime. I mean Terry Donovan, who 48 00:02:57,599 --> 00:03:00,879 I respect. I've met her at time or two. I 49 00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,560 think she's a good candidate, and I'm glad that she's 50 00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:06,919 running and she's trying to make the election a referendum 51 00:03:07,039 --> 00:03:10,639 on public safety, which I think is absolutely the right 52 00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:13,280 thing for her to do. And I think if she 53 00:03:13,439 --> 00:03:18,520 can keep you get over forty percent towards forty five percent, 54 00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,479 that's a big statement that Charlotte is not headed in 55 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:24,479 the right direction on dealing with crime in our city. 56 00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,840 Speaker 1: Are what are Edwin Peacock's chances. 57 00:03:30,560 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 2: His chances are better, still not great, And I think 58 00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:38,400 he knows this. I think if you talk to him, 59 00:03:38,439 --> 00:03:42,719 he'd tell you this that it's an uphill battle. Looking 60 00:03:42,759 --> 00:03:46,840 at raw numbers, we're talking about making up about fourteen 61 00:03:46,919 --> 00:03:50,319 thousand votes, which doesn't sound like a lot, but in 62 00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:54,719 a very very low turnout election, it's a lot of 63 00:03:54,759 --> 00:03:56,719 people that you have to motivate and get out the 64 00:03:56,719 --> 00:03:59,360 door to actually vote. But which is kind of a 65 00:03:59,400 --> 00:04:02,240 blessing in a in a low turnout election. You know, one, 66 00:04:02,400 --> 00:04:04,759 you have to do a lot of education and a 67 00:04:04,759 --> 00:04:07,039 lot of get out in the vote work to get 68 00:04:07,080 --> 00:04:09,840 people who wouldn't normally vote in an off year to 69 00:04:09,879 --> 00:04:12,039 actually get out and vote. But it also means that 70 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,360 it's possible, you know, and there was some numbers that 71 00:04:15,400 --> 00:04:18,560 came out the other day that Edwin has raised a 72 00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,240 considerable amount of money. Hopefully all of that's going to 73 00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:25,920 get Republicans out the door and actually to go cast 74 00:04:25,920 --> 00:04:26,360 a ballot. 75 00:04:26,879 --> 00:04:31,120 Speaker 1: What do what does it get out the vote operation 76 00:04:31,319 --> 00:04:35,879 that's that's funded. What does that look like for local Republicans? 77 00:04:38,399 --> 00:04:40,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, so there's a lot of different ways that you 78 00:04:40,639 --> 00:04:43,120 might do it. I mean kind of the gold standard 79 00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:48,920 is the lowest tech route possible, which is going out 80 00:04:48,959 --> 00:04:52,879 and knocking on doors, But that doesn't scale all that well, 81 00:04:53,439 --> 00:04:55,959 so that's kind of the baseline. Then you layer on 82 00:04:56,000 --> 00:04:58,680 top mail pieces on top of that. That's kind of 83 00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:02,000 the best bang for your buck. But what it really 84 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:04,040 takes to actually get people out the doors, to have 85 00:05:04,120 --> 00:05:08,000 a target lift, have phone numbers and call and text people. 86 00:05:09,120 --> 00:05:12,959 So I imagine that that's what Edwin Peacock has been working 87 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:14,519 on and we'll see if it pays off. 88 00:05:14,879 --> 00:05:18,439 Speaker 1: And Krista Bakari, this is the District sixth seat that 89 00:05:18,560 --> 00:05:22,279 was held by her husband, Tarc Bakari, who went up 90 00:05:22,319 --> 00:05:25,680 and took a job in the Trump administration and then 91 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:28,519 left the seat vacated. She applied for the seat, but 92 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,079 the city council did not put her into that seat. 93 00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,240 They put Edwin Peacock into that seat. So he's leaving 94 00:05:34,279 --> 00:05:36,319 that District six seat. And he did say he was 95 00:05:36,360 --> 00:05:40,519 not going to run for election for that seat, and 96 00:05:40,560 --> 00:05:42,879 that was one of the reasons why the Democrats on 97 00:05:42,959 --> 00:05:46,920 council put him in there. So it was a close 98 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:50,000 race when Tark ran, and he was there for years. 99 00:05:50,040 --> 00:05:51,839 He was a I think he was like four or 100 00:05:51,839 --> 00:05:55,600 five terms. So yeah, I don't know if this If 101 00:05:55,639 --> 00:05:58,839 the Republicans lose this district, they're down to one seat 102 00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:02,079 basically on the charlot A City Council, which I mean, 103 00:06:02,120 --> 00:06:04,800 my view on it is that the council needs to 104 00:06:05,000 --> 00:06:08,839 abandon the at large races and just go to a 105 00:06:08,879 --> 00:06:14,240 straight district setup because it's at large races. Just I 106 00:06:14,240 --> 00:06:18,480 think the data shows that they suppressed minority representation. That's 107 00:06:18,519 --> 00:06:20,600 all at large races were intended to do, and that's 108 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:23,040 what they do. And so I don't know, what do 109 00:06:23,079 --> 00:06:25,240 you think like her? You think a good night as 110 00:06:25,279 --> 00:06:27,319 if she wins. Do you think that's doable? 111 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:32,680 Speaker 2: Yes, definitely doable. You know, the last couple of cycles 112 00:06:32,680 --> 00:06:35,639 that Tark ran, it came down to just a few 113 00:06:35,720 --> 00:06:38,040 hundred votes, you know, I think it was three hundred 114 00:06:38,079 --> 00:06:42,399 and change votes in twenty twenty three. Christo's a very 115 00:06:42,439 --> 00:06:44,720 strong candidate and she's been working hard. I mean I 116 00:06:44,759 --> 00:06:48,920 see her out everywhere. You know, she ran for state 117 00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:54,959 house last year, and I did an analysis on overperformers 118 00:06:55,000 --> 00:06:59,759 and underperformers basically how individual candidates fared in their district 119 00:06:59,800 --> 00:07:02,839 can paired to the presidential candidate in their district, so 120 00:07:02,879 --> 00:07:06,199 that would have been Donald Trump. And Krista Baccari outpaced 121 00:07:06,240 --> 00:07:10,600 Donald Trump in her House district by something like ten points, 122 00:07:10,639 --> 00:07:16,120 just an exceedingly high number. So she definitely has crossover appeal, 123 00:07:16,279 --> 00:07:20,680 you know, independence like Krista, and it's going to be 124 00:07:20,720 --> 00:07:23,680 a close race. But I think I think she's going 125 00:07:23,720 --> 00:07:26,600 to win that. You know, I actually live in District six, 126 00:07:26,680 --> 00:07:28,360 so I kind of have a front row seat to it. 127 00:07:28,399 --> 00:07:32,720 What's interesting is I haven't seen her opponent, Kim Owens, 128 00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,680 hasn't really been campaigning very much at all, at least 129 00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:38,680 not that I've seen. But there is a union group 130 00:07:38,759 --> 00:07:41,759 out of New York that has been sending mailers on 131 00:07:41,839 --> 00:07:45,959 her behalf. So my house has gotten a two or 132 00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:50,399 three mailers from this New York SEIU group that's been 133 00:07:51,040 --> 00:07:51,920 been pushing her. 134 00:07:53,199 --> 00:07:55,279 Speaker 1: Speaking of mailers, I've been getting a ton of them 135 00:07:55,319 --> 00:08:00,839 for the transportation sales tax vote, and finally I got 136 00:08:00,839 --> 00:08:05,959 one over the weekend that finally mentioned rail on the mailer. 137 00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,000 I've gotten like seven or eight of these things, and 138 00:08:08,040 --> 00:08:10,519 none of them have mentioned rail. It's all been focusing 139 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,800 on roads. And you say that this referendum is the 140 00:08:13,839 --> 00:08:17,800 best ideological x ray of Charlotte that we have had 141 00:08:17,879 --> 00:08:19,439 in years. What did you mean by that? 142 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, So, I mean Charlotte historically has been a pro 143 00:08:24,839 --> 00:08:30,279 business town, right, you know, it's been reliably blue and 144 00:08:30,360 --> 00:08:33,120 democratic over the past you know, call it fifteen years, 145 00:08:33,960 --> 00:08:38,120 but it's been more moderate and more business focused But 146 00:08:38,279 --> 00:08:41,320 what I've seen just kind of following local politics is 147 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:44,320 that the center of gravity has been steadily shifting to 148 00:08:44,360 --> 00:08:46,759 the left. You know, you see, you know, where you 149 00:08:46,799 --> 00:08:50,639 once had a Julie Isiel on council, now you've got 150 00:08:50,679 --> 00:08:53,639 you know, Lawana Mayfield, you had Braxton Winston. You know 151 00:08:53,679 --> 00:08:55,879 he's no longer on the council. But that's sort of 152 00:08:55,919 --> 00:09:02,600 candidate what the main opposition to the transit referendum has 153 00:09:02,679 --> 00:09:06,679 been from what I consider the far left. You're basically 154 00:09:06,720 --> 00:09:09,840 saying that this is just a giveaway to business, or 155 00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:13,600 you know, that this doesn't do enough for low in communities, 156 00:09:13,600 --> 00:09:16,879 that sort of thing. I think the Transit tex is 157 00:09:16,919 --> 00:09:18,720 going to pass, but I think it's going to be 158 00:09:18,799 --> 00:09:21,799 relatively close. I think five years ago this would have 159 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:26,240 passed sixty forty. I'm thinking now it's probably more of 160 00:09:26,360 --> 00:09:30,519 fifty five forty five. But what we'll see and the 161 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:35,240 results is whether kind of the center left, pro business, 162 00:09:35,279 --> 00:09:39,679 moderate democrat still controls the politics here in Charlotte, or 163 00:09:39,720 --> 00:09:42,480 if that has actually finally gone away. 164 00:09:42,799 --> 00:09:45,960 Speaker 1: Yeah, and they'll also pick up support from conservatives that 165 00:09:46,039 --> 00:09:48,519 are going to vote. Know however, many of them that 166 00:09:48,559 --> 00:09:52,840 are left inside city or its Yeah, so sort of 167 00:09:52,840 --> 00:09:57,559 an interesting coalition there against the tax right and finally, 168 00:09:57,600 --> 00:10:03,200 real quick, the Huntersville Town Council. And I guess this 169 00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:07,559 is the mayor's race. Christy Clark, she's the Democrat, she 170 00:10:07,679 --> 00:10:12,080 won in twenty twenty three, and it's a rematch against 171 00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:16,639 the Republican Derek Party. And I have heard like he 172 00:10:16,639 --> 00:10:21,320 he's got some opposition, has had some opposition among Republicans 173 00:10:21,399 --> 00:10:24,320 up in Huntersville. So what's your make of that race? 174 00:10:25,879 --> 00:10:29,399 Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not as familiar with Huntersville politics as I 175 00:10:29,679 --> 00:10:33,159 would like to be, but you know, Huntersville is one 176 00:10:33,159 --> 00:10:36,519 of those interesting areas where it was reliably read for 177 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,759 a long long time and then you know, lately we've 178 00:10:39,840 --> 00:10:42,240 kind of had a back and forth where you know, 179 00:10:42,360 --> 00:10:46,320 we're John Bradford and Christy Clark. Christy Clark's the Democrat 180 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:49,320 who's now the mayor. They kind of flips loot back 181 00:10:49,320 --> 00:10:53,320 and forth for the house district up there. I'm watching 182 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:57,159 this closely mostly to see, you know, how are the 183 00:10:57,200 --> 00:11:00,639 suburbs feeling. You know, is there any chance that they'll 184 00:11:00,840 --> 00:11:04,360 you know, come back and get more Republican. My gut 185 00:11:04,399 --> 00:11:07,799 tells me probably not, But that's what I'm looking for there. 186 00:11:07,960 --> 00:11:10,519 Speaker 1: Yeah, I think just the demographics of it. As you know, 187 00:11:10,600 --> 00:11:15,159 the cities get bluer and bluer. The first waves of 188 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:20,399 you know, Republicans that move out of Charlotte, they'll you know, 189 00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:24,480 probably move to those the six small towns quote unquote 190 00:11:24,480 --> 00:11:27,919 small towns that are not so small anymore, and then 191 00:11:27,919 --> 00:11:30,600 they and then they end up just leaving Mecklenburg County altogether. 192 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:34,440 I think that's pretty universal. I saw it in Asheville 193 00:11:34,559 --> 00:11:37,000 as well, and now you're seeing some of like the 194 00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:42,440 surrounding counties, their towns, like Hendersonville elected some Democrats for 195 00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:44,879 like the first time ever. Uh. It's just sort of 196 00:11:44,879 --> 00:11:51,200 the natural I was gonna say infection, but it's like that, 197 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,360 it is the way this it is the way this 198 00:11:53,480 --> 00:11:56,200 leftism spreads. That's I mean, it's like blue dots and 199 00:11:56,320 --> 00:11:58,440 sea are in a sea of red. Uh and it 200 00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,679 just kind of it just kind of grows out from 201 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:03,960 that central point. So all right, well we'll watch that too. 202 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,600 We got other stuff that we didn't get to, but 203 00:12:05,600 --> 00:12:08,120 people can read more of your work at long Leaf Politics, 204 00:12:08,279 --> 00:12:14,159 long leafpol dot com, and The Charlotte Observer publishes his pieces. 205 00:12:14,639 --> 00:12:18,600 The latest one North Carolina's budget stalemate is historic, but 206 00:12:18,639 --> 00:12:21,440 it's a healthy kind of Republican fight, and maybe we'll 207 00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,240 talk about that next week, so Andrew always appreciate it. 208 00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:28,279 Speaker 2: Yeah, yes, sir, I can guarantee you that the budget 209 00:12:28,320 --> 00:12:30,480 will not be resolved by next week, so we can 210 00:12:30,519 --> 00:12:31,279 talk about it then. 211 00:12:31,559 --> 00:12:36,600 Speaker 1: Yes, show prep's already done.

Visit creative video dot com. From 231 00:13:42,120 --> 00:13:46,759 the text line stand texts. The way you described how 232 00:13:46,759 --> 00:13:49,720 the left expands, using the analogy of the blue dot, 233 00:13:49,759 --> 00:13:53,200 gradually expanding into the red areas and eventually taking over. 234 00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,320 It almost sounded like you were describing an infection or 235 00:13:56,360 --> 00:14:00,039 something similar. I think I use that word. Maybe you 236 00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:05,399 could coin a new term or phrase for it, maybe 237 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:12,559 like a left faction. Now that doesn't work, we'll toss 238 00:14:12,600 --> 00:14:14,039 it out there. If you got any ideas, what do 239 00:14:14,120 --> 00:14:19,519 we call it? Maybe something with like locusts. 240 00:14:21,320 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 2: Uh. 241 00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:29,039 Speaker 1: Mike says, show some love for wax saw vote Michael 242 00:14:29,159 --> 00:14:33,080 Dobie for wax saw commissioner, Show some love for wax 243 00:14:33,120 --> 00:14:36,759 saw vote Michael Adobe for wax saw Commissioner, Show some 244 00:14:36,799 --> 00:14:39,320 love for wax Okay, he sent the same message three 245 00:14:39,320 --> 00:14:43,639 times over the course of the wait this goes back 246 00:14:43,639 --> 00:14:47,840 to the morning dude. Okay, Well I read it. I 247 00:14:47,879 --> 00:14:50,360 don't know if you got it read during the other shows, 248 00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:52,840 but you got it read three times on this one. 249 00:14:52,879 --> 00:14:59,399 There you go. Andy says, I don't get it. Since 250 00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:04,320 when is voting against more taxes considered left wing? This 251 00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:07,519 is about the transit tax. Well, remember I had on 252 00:15:08,639 --> 00:15:14,480 a couple of opponents to the transit tax, Eric Rowell 253 00:15:14,639 --> 00:15:22,000 from Huntersville Conservative and Robert Dawkins from NC Action or 254 00:15:22,039 --> 00:15:26,159 Action NC I Forget, and that's a progressive organization, and 255 00:15:26,159 --> 00:15:31,159 they're both opposed to the tax. And the left has 256 00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:34,080 been making these arguments that the money needs to be 257 00:15:34,159 --> 00:15:40,799 spent differently for more targeted towards, you know, buses, things 258 00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:43,720 that will help the poor. That's their ORGA. And they're 259 00:15:43,720 --> 00:15:47,039 opposed to the sales tax because they say it is 260 00:15:47,080 --> 00:15:52,039 a regressive tax, and it is. Sales taxes are regressive. 261 00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:54,799 It hurts people on the lower end of the economic 262 00:15:55,639 --> 00:15:58,440 spectrum more so than the people on the upper end 263 00:15:58,519 --> 00:16:02,240 of the spectrum. Because the people who have a lot 264 00:16:02,279 --> 00:16:05,559 of money can absorb a you know, an increase in 265 00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:09,200 a sales tax of one cent. People on the lower 266 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:13,159 end have a harder time because in real dollars, you know, 267 00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,960 they're spending more real dollars on taxes. Now, so that 268 00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:18,679 was why they were opposed to it. And that's sort 269 00:16:18,679 --> 00:16:22,799 of this this alliance that has formed in opposition to 270 00:16:23,039 --> 00:16:28,360 the one cent sales tax. But yeah, if you've got, 271 00:16:32,519 --> 00:16:37,320 if you've got suggestions for the spreading of leftism out 272 00:16:37,320 --> 00:16:39,639 of the urban cores and then infecting all of the 273 00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:43,519 surrounding areas and slowly taking it all over. Open to that, 274 00:16:45,480 --> 00:16:52,679 Kirk suggests left titis. Well, that well, that does sound 275 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:55,679 that does sound like an infection. Here's a great idea. 276 00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:58,559 How about making an escape to a really special and 277 00:16:58,639 --> 00:17:01,799 secluded getaway in west North Carolina.

So, okay, I 298 00:18:09,759 --> 00:18:13,000 have a confession to make. I have not been sleeping 299 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:18,480 very well in the mornings. I blame government and more 300 00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:25,240 directly my cat. But I blame the government first because 301 00:18:25,319 --> 00:18:29,799 of daylight savings time or saving time, and they rolled 302 00:18:29,799 --> 00:18:33,799 it back and the cat doesn't know that the clock 303 00:18:34,240 --> 00:18:38,119 is different. Now we have an automatic feeder because he 304 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:41,240 gets up like we had like the first feeding for 305 00:18:41,359 --> 00:18:43,880 him at like four point thirty in the morning to 306 00:18:43,960 --> 00:18:47,839 try to make him leave us alone, you know, so 307 00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:49,559 we don't have to get up and feed him, because 308 00:18:49,599 --> 00:18:54,480 he gets super annoying. He like walks all over you. 309 00:18:54,599 --> 00:18:57,599 He scratches at the carpet, he knocks everything off of 310 00:18:57,640 --> 00:19:02,920 the end table, the nightstand, you know. And and so 311 00:19:03,000 --> 00:19:08,279 I went out and bought an automatic feeder. And so 312 00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:09,920 now he knows the sound of it. It makes this 313 00:19:10,000 --> 00:19:13,759 little loop as it spins around, and it opens up 314 00:19:13,759 --> 00:19:16,640 the next little panel and then it gives a little beep. 315 00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,880 So he knows the sound, but he doesn't know that 316 00:19:21,759 --> 00:19:26,720 four thirty is now not four thirty. So he keeps 317 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,920 waking up. He's been waking up at three thirty in 318 00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:31,880 the morning and not getting fed. And so I had 319 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:35,640 to I had to readjust the thing. Now it's just 320 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:38,960 so thanks a lot, gov CO. So anyway, that's why 321 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:41,799 if I seemed to be dragging a little bit today, 322 00:19:42,279 --> 00:19:44,559 it is true I am dragging because now I'm on 323 00:19:44,759 --> 00:19:49,319 day three of this. This was the first day that 324 00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:53,079 we reset the that I because I went, I went 325 00:19:53,079 --> 00:19:55,200 to the machine and to the feeder machine, and I 326 00:19:55,279 --> 00:19:58,440 was like, add another hour back onto that thing. So 327 00:19:58,480 --> 00:20:00,799 now he's getting fed at three third already in the morning. 328 00:20:02,119 --> 00:20:05,680 So but he still woke us up at like five 329 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,480 and three thirty. He still did wake us up at 330 00:20:09,480 --> 00:20:14,000 like three thirty. So yeah, but yeah, so I blame him, 331 00:20:14,000 --> 00:20:16,119 But I also blame gov Go because he's just a cat. 332 00:20:16,200 --> 00:20:19,640 He doesn't know any better, you know, it's just his instinct. 333 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:25,039 He's going out wanting to hunt stuff, you know. So anyway, 334 00:20:26,759 --> 00:20:29,119 we got some more ideas on what to call the 335 00:20:29,240 --> 00:20:36,599 spread of leftism out of out of the blue areas, 336 00:20:36,759 --> 00:20:41,039 out of the urban areas, and into the surrounding communities. 337 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:46,759 Let me see here. This one is from well, it's 338 00:20:46,759 --> 00:20:48,200 from a nine to eight. Oh no, this is from 339 00:20:48,359 --> 00:20:58,640 Stan who suggests the blue Bonic plague. Uh, that's a 340 00:20:58,640 --> 00:21:06,960 good one. Mmmm m hmmm. Jim says, vote Jim Rayborne 341 00:21:07,119 --> 00:21:11,680 for your real estate agent. That's not that's not that's 342 00:21:11,759 --> 00:21:19,680 not a vote. Great. Dane says, I love my automatic feeder. 343 00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,880 I ignored the cat. We never changed the time on 344 00:21:22,960 --> 00:21:24,880 our feeder, right. I wish I had known that. I 345 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:27,319 didn't even think about it. I changed it, and then 346 00:21:27,400 --> 00:21:30,240 Christy came home and she was like, oh, well, he's 347 00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,160 not going to know it's a different clock, and I'm like, 348 00:21:32,240 --> 00:21:37,480 well that's true. So yeah, I mean it's totally my 349 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:42,799 fault for changing the clock. Chris suggests, on the spread 350 00:21:43,000 --> 00:21:46,680 of the leftism, you could call the spread left trust. 351 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:52,319 See like leprosy causes rotting and decay. It's a little 352 00:21:52,359 --> 00:21:55,519 difficult to say though, that's the problem, Like it's got 353 00:21:55,519 --> 00:21:58,480 to roll off the tongue a little bit like blue bonnic. 354 00:22:02,279 --> 00:22:06,119 Chris says, leftism is more of a cancer than an infection. 355 00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:09,000 Like a cancer, it must be combated with early and 356 00:22:09,039 --> 00:22:13,319 aggressive treatment. Left untreated or unsuccessfully treated, eventually it'll kill 357 00:22:13,359 --> 00:22:21,319 the host. Bill suggests a left botomy that's more like 358 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:31,400 an individual thing. Jeff suggests blue media, Okay, we want 359 00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:34,319 to all right, we want to keep this family friendly. 360 00:22:34,480 --> 00:22:38,960 Jeff shouldn't even have read that. But you know me, 361 00:22:39,039 --> 00:22:40,920 I'm a sucker for the jokes. I can't help it, 362 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:45,759 for the I should say, for the good jokes. Speaking 363 00:22:45,799 --> 00:22:49,440 of which, it is election day, and I do have 364 00:22:50,799 --> 00:22:57,640 some fundraising totals here that the Charlotte Observer compiled. Andrew 365 00:22:57,720 --> 00:23:01,559 Dunn made a reference to some of this data. So 366 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:06,920 Republican candidates actually raised more money than Democrats in multiple 367 00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:11,359 Charlotte City council races, So this is from the period 368 00:23:11,480 --> 00:23:15,799 the reporting period August twenty seventh through October twentieth, now 369 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,279 August twenty seventh through October twentieth, that would include the 370 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,160 backlash to the murder of Arena Zarutzka on the light 371 00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:30,440 rail line. So Christo Bacari in District six, she more 372 00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:35,359 than doubled the contributions of Democrat Kimberly Owens. Long shot 373 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:39,559 mayoral candidate Terry Donovan outraised the incumbent by Lyles by 374 00:23:39,599 --> 00:23:43,279 a wide margin as well. Her biggest influx of cash 375 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:47,960 came amid national scrutiny of Lyles's response to the fatal 376 00:23:48,039 --> 00:23:51,599 light rail stabbing. And leading the pack across all races 377 00:23:52,119 --> 00:23:57,279 at large Republican candidate Edwin Peacock, whose campaign pulled in 378 00:23:57,319 --> 00:24:03,400 more than one hundred ten thousand dollars, so first up 379 00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:11,279 Bakari Krista Bakari ninety six thousand plus and spent sixty 380 00:24:11,440 --> 00:24:15,599 five thousand. She has about eighty six In the final 381 00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:21,440 two weeks before the election, her opponent raised forty thousand, 382 00:24:22,200 --> 00:24:26,000 spent thirty nine thousand, and she's got only about fifteen 383 00:24:26,079 --> 00:24:28,559 thousand dollars cash on hand. But remember this is for 384 00:24:28,680 --> 00:24:33,880 the period that ends October twentieth, so your final push, 385 00:24:34,759 --> 00:24:36,359 you're going to be spending a bunch of this money 386 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:43,000 in the final push. One third of Krista Bakari's contributions 387 00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:45,440 came from the North Carolina Republican Party in the form 388 00:24:45,480 --> 00:24:50,079 of printing and postage for the mailing of the campaign literature. 389 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,200 The state level party did not contribute to any other 390 00:24:53,279 --> 00:24:59,039 candidate this cycle. Edwin Peacock raised one hundred thirteen thousand. 391 00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:02,119 He spent twenty six of it. He has one hundred 392 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:05,720 and seventeen on cash on hand. And why these numbers 393 00:25:05,759 --> 00:25:09,920 don't add up is because from the previous fundraising that 394 00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:11,599 they have done, so they've got money that they have 395 00:25:11,680 --> 00:25:14,880 been fundraising and they've been piling into the bank. So 396 00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:17,519 they could raise one hundred and thirteen, spend twenty six, 397 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:19,920 but still have one hundred and seventeen in the bank. 398 00:25:20,720 --> 00:25:27,119 Dimple Ashmira a Democrat at large. She raised about twenty 399 00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:30,920 two thousand, spent about half of it, but her cash 400 00:25:31,000 --> 00:25:35,559 on hand is one hundred and seventy nine thousand, but 401 00:25:35,640 --> 00:25:40,480 she's accumulated that over a decade. Also of note, Lee 402 00:25:40,599 --> 00:25:43,599 Ratliffe was one of her donors one thousand dollars donor 403 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:49,480 Lee Ratliffe, the CEO of PSS Professional Security Services. They 404 00:25:49,759 --> 00:25:53,039 do the They've got the contract for security for Charlotte 405 00:25:53,079 --> 00:25:56,880 Public Transit. He also donated one thousand dollars to James 406 00:25:56,880 --> 00:26:01,039 Smudgie Mitchell. He also donated one thousand dollars Toolana Slack 407 00:26:01,119 --> 00:26:04,240 Mayfield's campaign.

Happy Election Day, John from Jersey, It's a 429 00:27:14,680 --> 00:27:20,920 Pete male to Pete at thepeteclenarshow dot com. Pete cats 430 00:27:20,960 --> 00:27:25,079 apparently go insanely active at dawn and dusk. That is true. 431 00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:27,960 I've watched a lot of cat videos, and I'm not 432 00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:30,480 just talking the cute ones that make you laugh and 433 00:27:30,480 --> 00:27:33,160 oh aren't they adorable? Like not that like people dressing 434 00:27:33,240 --> 00:27:34,920 up their cats and making them do stuff. I mean, 435 00:27:34,960 --> 00:27:38,000 I've watched a lot of those too, but I've watched 436 00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,279 a lot of these like why do cats do what 437 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:44,319 they do? Things that cats like that their owners don't do, 438 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:47,160 and things they hate that owners do and all that. 439 00:27:47,599 --> 00:27:52,640 I've watched a lot of this stuff, and they are 440 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:56,759 very active in the Yeah, dusk and dawn there's a 441 00:27:56,799 --> 00:27:58,519 word for it. I forget what the word is, but 442 00:27:59,039 --> 00:28:01,960 they that's when they go hunting and according to these 443 00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,920 YouTube videos, which would never lie to me. They say that, like, 444 00:28:06,960 --> 00:28:09,920 the cats are waking you up because number one, they 445 00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,920 don't like you in the deep sleep because cats, cats 446 00:28:12,960 --> 00:28:15,720 don't go into the deep sleeps like we do, and 447 00:28:15,759 --> 00:28:18,079 so they think we're dead and they're like, wake up, 448 00:28:18,119 --> 00:28:20,119 wake up, Oh my gosh, why are you so you know, 449 00:28:20,599 --> 00:28:23,519 deeply asleep. But then the other thing is that they 450 00:28:24,279 --> 00:28:28,400 feel like we're missing out on the hunt, and so 451 00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:29,960 they try to wake us up, like, hey, it's time 452 00:28:29,960 --> 00:28:32,640 to go hunting. You know. I think it's just because 453 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,720 he just views me as the food deliverer, you know. 454 00:28:36,279 --> 00:28:39,119 But anyway, cats go insanely active at dawn and dusk, 455 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,920 perhaps a hunting drive. Ours doesn't get the time change thing, 456 00:28:43,119 --> 00:28:45,799 and she walks up onto me, punches me in the 457 00:28:45,839 --> 00:28:49,359 face with her head that's called the head butt, then 458 00:28:49,440 --> 00:28:54,039 proceeds to vocalize demanding breakfast. I also watched this video 459 00:28:54,079 --> 00:28:56,359 that said you're supposed to respond to your cat, do 460 00:28:56,359 --> 00:28:58,960 you know, like if you don't respond to your cat, 461 00:28:59,799 --> 00:29:03,039 like their neural pathways will never develop and then they 462 00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,720 just don't ever. They never meet out, they don't talk, 463 00:29:06,279 --> 00:29:08,599 like if you're raising a cat from a kitten anyway, 464 00:29:08,799 --> 00:29:11,799 So you're supposed to talk to them and then they 465 00:29:11,839 --> 00:29:14,839 will communicate back with you because they don't meow at 466 00:29:14,839 --> 00:29:18,359 each other. They don't talk to each other. Totally a 467 00:29:18,359 --> 00:29:21,200 cat thing, you know. Anyway, I save this creature's life. 468 00:29:21,200 --> 00:29:23,640 I feel an obligation. But dang, now I remember why 469 00:29:23,640 --> 00:29:28,440 I'm a dog person. Oh and I forgot to mention 470 00:29:29,799 --> 00:29:35,440 my obligatory election day prediction. And you know me, I 471 00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:39,640 don't make predictions except this one. When it comes to elections. 472 00:29:40,079 --> 00:29:46,240 The obligatory prediction is it'll all come down to turn out. 473 00:29:47,839 --> 00:29:49,720 And I say that because I hate when people say that, 474 00:29:50,400 --> 00:29:53,200 because of course, it's like saying, you know, the winner 475 00:29:53,240 --> 00:29:55,000 of this football game, it's all going to come down 476 00:29:55,039 --> 00:29:58,000 to who puts up the most points. Well, yes, that's 477 00:29:58,200 --> 00:30:04,759 how you judge the winner, Michael in a tweet. It's 478 00:30:04,759 --> 00:30:06,920 a pet tweet, he says. This is also the hardest 479 00:30:06,920 --> 00:30:09,039 point to get across to people. I nearly turned blue 480 00:30:09,039 --> 00:30:11,119 in the face trying to convey the simple truth to 481 00:30:11,160 --> 00:30:15,240 some acquaintances who only want to complain about current affairs. Yeah, well, 482 00:30:15,279 --> 00:30:17,680 I mean, it's it's about turnout, and if you just 483 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:20,119 complain all the time, but you don't go vote and 484 00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,839 you don't participate, then like you're not making things better, 485 00:30:24,880 --> 00:30:27,920 you're just complaining. And then you're just like you know me, 486 00:30:28,599 --> 00:30:32,759 and you don't want to be like me. So let 487 00:30:32,759 --> 00:30:36,079 me see here. I've got a bunch of text messages. 488 00:30:37,119 --> 00:30:37,200 Speaker 2: This. 489 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,839 Speaker 1: So people are yeah, people are suggesting all of the 490 00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000 Uh oh is it crepuscular nocturnal? I don't know. For 491 00:30:46,039 --> 00:30:47,960 the cat thing, I don't know. I forget what the 492 00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:52,480 name is. Diurnal is the word. I think that's it. 493 00:30:54,200 --> 00:30:57,440 The hellion says, I am simply a food tainer. Yes, 494 00:30:57,799 --> 00:31:06,839 probably so dogs have owners, cats have servants. Yeah, Diurnal 495 00:31:06,880 --> 00:31:10,720 means they hunt both dusk and dawnt. They're also predator 496 00:31:10,960 --> 00:31:16,799 and prey. Cats are predator and prey, and that means 497 00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:19,279 that like, if they get injured, they hide it because 498 00:31:19,319 --> 00:31:24,240 they don't want anybody to know. Mike says, we can 499 00:31:24,279 --> 00:31:27,599 call it, oh, this is the spread of leftism outside 500 00:31:27,599 --> 00:31:30,519 the urban areas and to the suburbs. Call it gang 501 00:31:30,599 --> 00:31:34,720 blue like gang green. That yeah, I like that one. 502 00:31:34,799 --> 00:31:40,119 Gang blue. The tissue dies due to the lack of 503 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:48,680 common sense. Uh mmm, pete, that would make it left TD. 504 00:31:50,240 --> 00:31:59,880 I don't know. Uh liberal virus or liberous Yeah, okay, BPBP. 505 00:32:00,039 --> 00:32:01,960 It's funny when you see the current police chief of 506 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:05,880 Minneapolis interview for CMPD. This guy has tons of experience. 507 00:32:08,559 --> 00:32:13,640 Is this from today? I'm about the police chief, daylight 508 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:17,079 savings and proof that the government just likes to mess 509 00:32:17,119 --> 00:32:20,240 with us. That is. Yeah, there's no reason for it anymore. 510 00:32:20,279 --> 00:32:23,000 We should just get rid of it. And then Michael says, 511 00:32:23,039 --> 00:32:24,920 I'm in the same boat. My cat wakes me up earlier. 512 00:32:24,960 --> 00:32:27,559 Now I have to buy her a smart watch. She's 513 00:32:27,599 --> 00:32:32,240 not going to be able to use it. All right. 514 00:32:32,240 --> 00:32:34,599 That'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much 515 00:32:34,640 --> 00:32:36,680 for listening.
