Ashville 10 00:00:30,559 --> 00:00:36,399 also making national news for being the jerks that they are. 11 00:00:37,119 --> 00:00:40,520 Speaker 1: Give it up for Ashville. Yes, you guys, I. 12 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:42,840 Speaker 2: Know it's been a while since anybody really cared to 13 00:00:42,920 --> 00:00:48,320 hear anything you had to say about politics, and good 14 00:00:48,359 --> 00:00:50,840 to see you may be urinating away some of the 15 00:00:50,840 --> 00:00:56,520 goodwill that people had had for you after the Hurricane 16 00:00:56,960 --> 00:01:02,399 Heleen disaster. But that's the thing about Asheville, Like there 17 00:01:02,439 --> 00:01:05,799 may be some lulls, but eventually the moonbats do go 18 00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:10,000 on the March, and they were on the March last night. 19 00:01:10,799 --> 00:01:15,640 They went to a town hall that was held by 20 00:01:15,799 --> 00:01:20,280 Congressman Chuck Edwards. Chuck Edwards, you may recall he beat 21 00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:25,640 Madison Cawthorn in a Republican primary for this congressional seat. 22 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:29,120 A couple of years back. Chuck Edwards was a former 23 00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:32,920 state senator, and so he's been in congress now. 24 00:01:32,920 --> 00:01:33,319 Speaker 1: I think. 25 00:01:36,560 --> 00:01:38,959 Speaker 2: Was it twenty four, No, twenty two, I guess is 26 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,640 when he first won. Yeah, I guess it was twenty two. 27 00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:48,159 So he goes to a b tech, the community college Ashville, 28 00:01:48,159 --> 00:01:51,760 Buncam Technical College. He goes to a b tech for 29 00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:55,200 a town hall. They got a big you know, theater 30 00:01:55,599 --> 00:01:59,439 there and or an auditorium, and they packed the place. 31 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:04,120 The leftist turn out and pack the place completely grassroots, 32 00:02:04,239 --> 00:02:09,560 I am certain. And the thing, if you haven't been 33 00:02:09,639 --> 00:02:12,240 up to the Ashville area or you've never lived in 34 00:02:12,280 --> 00:02:16,599 the area, you probably even though, are still aware of 35 00:02:16,680 --> 00:02:19,719 the reputation that Asheville has the blue dot in a 36 00:02:19,759 --> 00:02:25,319 sea of red. It is ground zero for the most 37 00:02:25,599 --> 00:02:34,520 virulent leftist kind of political ideologues and nimbiism, by the way, 38 00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,960 not in my backyard, and I mby not in my 39 00:02:39,039 --> 00:02:46,039 backyard nimbiism, which has exacerbated their housing shortage up there 40 00:02:46,360 --> 00:02:53,280 because people they move from high tax, progressive left wing 41 00:02:53,319 --> 00:02:57,120 states like New York and California and they retire to 42 00:02:57,199 --> 00:03:01,240 the mountains of Ashville and they their little slice of 43 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:04,599 paradise on the side of a mountain, and then they 44 00:03:04,680 --> 00:03:07,639 want to ban anybody else from building anything that would 45 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:11,319 you know, enter their field of vision as they look 46 00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:15,759 out their you know, million dollar balcony out over the ravine, 47 00:03:16,159 --> 00:03:19,280 and they don't want to see anybody's house, and so 48 00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:22,199 they're going to do whatever they can to block anybody 49 00:03:22,199 --> 00:03:25,560 from building anything else. And that's I mean, and that's 50 00:03:25,599 --> 00:03:28,639 a huge problem in Ashville. They also hate the tourists, 51 00:03:28,919 --> 00:03:32,039 which is very odd because the whole economy there runs 52 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:33,719 on the tourism industry. 53 00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:36,840 Speaker 1: Because people like to go and look at. 54 00:03:36,719 --> 00:03:41,159 Speaker 2: The mountains like you do right when you bought your 55 00:03:41,199 --> 00:03:43,479 house in the mountains, so you can look out over 56 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:46,120 the mountains and enjoy that view. You are not the 57 00:03:46,159 --> 00:03:49,800 only person. But the other people don't want to live 58 00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:51,919 there or they have a good life someplace else, so 59 00:03:51,919 --> 00:03:55,120 they would just like to visit. And a lot of 60 00:03:55,159 --> 00:04:00,080 the leftists do not like the tourists coming to Ashville 61 00:04:00,240 --> 00:04:03,199 and spending all of their money. They like the money, 62 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:05,039 and so they would like you to just give them 63 00:04:05,039 --> 00:04:08,960 that money. There is that envy again, so just give 64 00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,080 them the money, but don't actually do anything don't hang 65 00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:15,639 out here whatever. They don't like the idea that they 66 00:04:15,639 --> 00:04:20,839 are this tourist place. So when I worked up there, 67 00:04:20,959 --> 00:04:23,079 I saw this all the time. I watched their city 68 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,519 council meetings, went to a few of them, and virtually, 69 00:04:29,639 --> 00:04:32,399 I would say probably about eighty to ninety percent of 70 00:04:32,439 --> 00:04:35,639 the people who came to speak to the city council, 71 00:04:35,959 --> 00:04:38,560 they would always start off by saying something to the 72 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:44,600 effect of I moved here ten years ago, and then 73 00:04:44,639 --> 00:04:46,959 they would have their statement. So they were all like 74 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:53,680 coming from someplace else, and then lobbying against new apartment buildings, 75 00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,399 new subdivision development. So they were anti development. They didn't 76 00:04:59,399 --> 00:05:01,199 want anything to have happened. They didn't want anybody else 77 00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:03,079 coming here. It's like I got here eight years ago, 78 00:05:03,199 --> 00:05:06,199 ten years ago, and so I don't want anybody now 79 00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:09,399 following me. It's like I got up here and now 80 00:05:09,399 --> 00:05:11,240 I want to pull the ladder up behind me so 81 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:19,600 nobody else can follow up. So Chuck Edwards, Congressman Chuck Edwards, 82 00:05:20,399 --> 00:05:23,879 he goes to a town hall meeting and the left 83 00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:29,519 mobilizes to shout him down. That was the purpose to 84 00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:34,800 create the very story that now has gone national, which 85 00:05:34,879 --> 00:05:39,120 is that Chuck Edwards was shouted down by a bunch 86 00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:43,079 of angry leftists. Now they don't say that part. They say, oh, 87 00:05:43,160 --> 00:05:46,639 you know, his constituents, or they'll say, you know, voters 88 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:49,680 were mad and that sort of thing. But these are leftists, Okay. 89 00:05:50,639 --> 00:05:56,920 That's what Ashville produces and detracts, is these hardcore militant leftists. 90 00:05:57,759 --> 00:06:00,959 And if you doubt me, just go down to Pack Square, 91 00:06:01,000 --> 00:06:03,680 which is sort of like the Trade and try on 92 00:06:04,040 --> 00:06:06,079 if you will, Like right there in the heart of 93 00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:09,079 the downtown area, not the Drum Circle. It's pretty close though, 94 00:06:09,319 --> 00:06:13,600 but not the Drum Circle. But Pack Square used to 95 00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:15,800 have the Vance Monument there, but they tore that thing 96 00:06:15,879 --> 00:06:18,759 down because you know, he was the governor from Buncom 97 00:06:18,839 --> 00:06:21,839 County during the Civil War and so they had to 98 00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:23,920 take that down, even though he did a whole bunch 99 00:06:23,959 --> 00:06:27,839 of stuff to in support of Jewish people who are 100 00:06:27,879 --> 00:06:30,720 being discriminated against after the Civil War, and he went 101 00:06:30,759 --> 00:06:34,879 around the world delivering a speech. I think it was 102 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,839 called a Scattered People or Scattered Nation. 103 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:38,839 Speaker 1: Was the name of the speech. 104 00:06:38,879 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 2: And anyway, like Jewish people would make pilgrimages down to 105 00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:47,360 the Vance Monument for decades and lay wreaths at this 106 00:06:47,519 --> 00:06:51,639 monument to honor him in thanks for what he did 107 00:06:52,079 --> 00:06:56,680 to help raise awareness of anti Semitism. But anyway, so 108 00:06:56,680 --> 00:07:01,360 they tore that monument to him down and that's where 109 00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:04,519 they used to have the protests all the time. It 110 00:07:04,600 --> 00:07:07,839 is right at that monument, and they would just have 111 00:07:07,959 --> 00:07:10,120 protests like every single Saturday. I think they had a 112 00:07:10,160 --> 00:07:12,800 schedule at one point, so like there'd be like a 113 00:07:12,839 --> 00:07:15,040 swapping out of the signage. It was all the same 114 00:07:15,079 --> 00:07:19,199 people usually. I suggested that they replace the Dvance monument 115 00:07:19,279 --> 00:07:23,360 with just a big white board, you know, sorry, a 116 00:07:23,519 --> 00:07:27,600 dry erase board of a non descriptive color. So you 117 00:07:27,600 --> 00:07:29,839 would have this big board there and you could just 118 00:07:29,959 --> 00:07:32,360 like erase it and then write whatever the thing you're 119 00:07:32,399 --> 00:07:36,000 protesting at that given time slot. And this way, yeah, 120 00:07:36,040 --> 00:07:39,240 it's environmentally friendly. You're not having to redo the posters 121 00:07:39,279 --> 00:07:42,959 and like it's just very wasteful. So you just have 122 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:44,720 a big, you know, dry erase board there and then 123 00:07:44,759 --> 00:07:47,959 you can swap out the messaging as needed. But this 124 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:50,319 is what they're always doing. They're always out there saying, 125 00:07:50,360 --> 00:07:52,959 look at me, look at me, I care about this 126 00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:53,600 more than you. 127 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:54,279 Speaker 1: I'm better. 128 00:07:54,319 --> 00:07:57,079 Speaker 2: Okay, that's the whole point of all of those protests. Sorry, 129 00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,120 raise awareness, right to raise awareness? 130 00:08:02,839 --> 00:08:03,120 Speaker 1: Okay. 131 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 2: The only awareness that is raised by a bunch of 132 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,639 people screaming at tourists as they walk past on their 133 00:08:10,680 --> 00:08:14,360 way to Rhubarb is is Rubarbi. 134 00:08:13,920 --> 00:08:15,600 Speaker 1: Even still open? I don't even know if it's still 135 00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:16,240 open anymore. 136 00:08:16,439 --> 00:08:19,560 Speaker 2: But the only awareness that is raised is the awareness 137 00:08:19,920 --> 00:08:22,839 that there is something very wrong with Ashville, okay, and 138 00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,639 very wrong with a lot of the people there. It 139 00:08:26,720 --> 00:08:28,600 is a I have said this for years. It is 140 00:08:28,639 --> 00:08:33,279 a case study in long term drug abuse. That's what 141 00:08:33,399 --> 00:08:36,320 Ashville is. It reminded me when I first went to Ashville. 142 00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:42,519 It reminded me of I lived off campus in college, 143 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:45,879 and I had a couple of different houses with different 144 00:08:45,919 --> 00:08:48,480 roommates and stuff. We were off campus, about a block 145 00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:52,320 or two from the campus, and you know, these were 146 00:08:52,360 --> 00:08:55,240 old millhouses that have been turned over to into rental 147 00:08:55,240 --> 00:08:57,720 properties and such, and there were you know, couches on 148 00:08:57,759 --> 00:08:59,919 the front porch with a keg right next to it. 149 00:09:00,320 --> 00:09:05,720 Like that whole vibe, that whole scene that's Ashville. And 150 00:09:05,759 --> 00:09:07,799 then all the professors who you know, live in the 151 00:09:08,279 --> 00:09:14,120 multimillion dollar craftsman's and stuff. Anyway, I'm not here just 152 00:09:14,159 --> 00:09:16,000 to denigrate Ashville. 153 00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:16,399 Speaker 1: It is. 154 00:09:16,519 --> 00:09:20,279 Speaker 2: It's just a it's one of the it's gravy, it's extra. 155 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:25,320 So Ashville does what it does in all of these 156 00:09:25,360 --> 00:09:29,399 types of situations, which is to show their took uses 157 00:09:30,399 --> 00:09:33,759 their tushies. All right, that's what they did last night. 158 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:38,799 It went viral, It went national because the media and 159 00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,399 the Democrats, but I repeat myself, were like, oh, I guess. 160 00:09:41,159 --> 00:09:43,159 Speaker 1: This makes us feel so good. Look at us yelling 161 00:09:43,159 --> 00:09:45,120 at somebody. We're yelling. Look at me yelling. 162 00:09:45,159 --> 00:09:49,200 Speaker 2: We're raising awareness. I mean, sorry, we're raising Now. What 163 00:09:49,240 --> 00:09:53,399 you're doing is shut up ory, that's what you're doing. 164 00:09:54,559 --> 00:09:57,679 And I don't think you have received the message yet. 165 00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:02,440 That crap doesn't work anymore. It did for a little while, 166 00:10:02,879 --> 00:10:07,360 but nobody is listening to you. All right, Well, I 167 00:10:08,080 --> 00:10:11,399 do have a couple of clips that are safe for air. 168 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:14,720 You know, stories are powerful.

It's a Pete tweet. 188 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,440 He says, Rhubarb just closed down. 189 00:11:21,519 --> 00:11:26,480 Speaker 2: Pete and all the Reddit locals are happy because they 190 00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,279 were a tourist spot. Every restaurant at that location is 191 00:11:31,320 --> 00:11:34,879 a tourist spot because it's literally right there in the 192 00:11:34,879 --> 00:11:36,279 heart of downtown Nashville. 193 00:11:37,919 --> 00:11:40,440 Speaker 1: And Rubarb was pretty good. 194 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 2: It was all, you know, local sourced food and farmed 195 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,639 to table stuff like ninety percent of the words on 196 00:11:47,679 --> 00:11:50,279 the menu. You didn't even understand like that. I mean, 197 00:11:50,759 --> 00:11:55,159 they checked all the boxes. But this is one of 198 00:11:55,200 --> 00:11:58,320 the things too about there. There's actually an organization up 199 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:03,879 there called Unchained and they oppose any chain stores from opening. 200 00:12:05,039 --> 00:12:10,120 It's like, well, except okay, except for two. One was 201 00:12:10,559 --> 00:12:15,279 when they were they tore down a little shopping center, 202 00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,879 little strip mall had like five stores and it or 203 00:12:17,879 --> 00:12:22,480 something all local small businesses, the kind of places that 204 00:12:22,519 --> 00:12:26,440 would normally get the Unchained Ashville people and all of 205 00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,039 the NIMBI folks to turn out and support of those businesses. 206 00:12:30,159 --> 00:12:33,200 But it was part of a rezoning for I believe 207 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,440 it was a Trader Joe's, and so they were like, 208 00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:39,759 tear it down, get rid of that old dress shop. Yeah, 209 00:12:39,799 --> 00:12:42,120 just level it. We want our Trader Joe's. So they 210 00:12:42,159 --> 00:12:45,120 looked the other way for that one. And then oh, 211 00:12:45,159 --> 00:12:49,679 the other one was fud Ruckers. You always got to 212 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,559 make sure you pay attention when you're pronouncing that one 213 00:12:52,840 --> 00:12:57,360 on the radio, because they wanted to build apartments. And 214 00:12:57,399 --> 00:13:01,279 you know what the branding effort to oppose that rezoning was. 215 00:13:01,799 --> 00:13:05,840 They were tearing down a chain restaurant and putting up housing, 216 00:13:06,879 --> 00:13:10,799 and it got all this backlash because it's on the 217 00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:14,320 way to the Grove park in on that on that road, 218 00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:19,120 and so they were all upset about it because they 219 00:13:19,159 --> 00:13:25,840 said the branding effort was don't Charlotte our Ashville. That's 220 00:13:25,840 --> 00:13:29,200 what they said. I kind of took offense to that. 221 00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:34,120 I was a little offended by that, Like, oh, no, 222 00:13:34,399 --> 00:13:37,600 you're getting apartment buildings built. That's what you considered to 223 00:13:37,639 --> 00:13:42,039 be Charlotte, a mixed use, right, apartment buildings on top, 224 00:13:42,440 --> 00:13:46,639 retail on the ground level. But because it's going to 225 00:13:46,679 --> 00:13:52,799 be a new building with apartments, that's Charlotte. I mean, 226 00:13:52,840 --> 00:13:54,879 I would understand if it's like, hey, we're tearing down 227 00:13:54,879 --> 00:13:57,159 this historical building, because that I mean, to be fair, 228 00:13:57,159 --> 00:14:00,000 that is Charlotte, right, But like you're gonna tear down 229 00:13:59,840 --> 00:14:04,679 the building, it's a fud Rucker's right, For the love 230 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,039 of me, It's just a fud Ruckers, that's all it is. 231 00:14:09,399 --> 00:14:13,200 This isn't some sort of architectural masterpiece. No offense to 232 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:18,200 the architect that designed every single fud Rucker restaurant. I 233 00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:20,240 feel like I'm doing a very good job of pronouncing 234 00:14:20,279 --> 00:14:23,120 that name correctly. During all of this rant. I feel like, okay, 235 00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:24,840 I'm not asking for praise. I just feel like I'm 236 00:14:24,879 --> 00:14:26,519 doing a decent job of I'm gonna move on before 237 00:14:26,559 --> 00:14:30,480 I mess it up. So Chuck Edwards goes in front 238 00:14:30,519 --> 00:14:33,919 of this crowd, okay, and they come from all over 239 00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,879 his district, all of these transplanted leftists from other states 240 00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:42,279 that became too burdensome to live in because of leftism. 241 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:46,600 They come and retire to the mountains around Ashville, and 242 00:14:47,399 --> 00:14:50,480 they hate Donald Trump. Oh boy, do they hate Donald Trump. 243 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,080 And so they went there and they spent ninety minutes 244 00:14:54,879 --> 00:15:00,639 cursing and screaming and chanting and pounding on doors and 245 00:15:00,720 --> 00:15:08,279 blocking a motorcade, all to tell everybody that they are stupid. 246 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,279 I think here's a quote from last night, one of 247 00:15:12,279 --> 00:15:19,399 the more intelligible. Yeah, there you go. That was last 248 00:15:19,519 --> 00:15:22,679 night's highlight. I think that was the least of Oh wait, now, 249 00:15:22,759 --> 00:15:24,519 hang on a second, I have another one here. This 250 00:15:24,679 --> 00:15:32,960 is the Okay, okay, that makes sense. That's a good argument. 251 00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:36,519 Speaker 1: There you suck. Oh okay, well there you go. 252 00:15:36,799 --> 00:15:40,159 Speaker 2: So yeah, that was essentially what they did last night 253 00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:44,279 to Chuck Edwards, and they feel like this is a win, 254 00:15:44,519 --> 00:15:49,440 and the media coverage of it. Here's the AP headline. 255 00:15:49,519 --> 00:15:54,200 North Carolina GOP town hall gets rowdy as attendees hurl 256 00:15:54,720 --> 00:16:01,600 scathing questions on Trump. They hurl gating questions. No, they 257 00:16:02,519 --> 00:16:07,240 were cursing, they were screaming. They were unintelligible, They were 258 00:16:07,240 --> 00:16:11,120 not making arguments. They were asking, like almost as if 259 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,679 in a socratic fashion, like. 260 00:16:14,320 --> 00:16:18,320 Speaker 3: Why do you hate Zelensky so much? Why do you 261 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:24,919 love Fascism is intellectually flabby. You guys don't even know 262 00:16:24,919 --> 00:16:27,840 how to make arguments anymore. You are not going to 263 00:16:27,960 --> 00:16:31,000 win hearts and minds. All of this is theater, kid 264 00:16:31,080 --> 00:16:35,679 performance art, and most Americans, I dare say, are quite 265 00:16:35,759 --> 00:16:40,320 sick of it.

This 289 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,839 is so common in the South Northerners movie. Look it's 290 00:18:03,880 --> 00:18:10,240 not just Northerners. You got Californians as well, right, You 291 00:18:10,359 --> 00:18:13,839 got West Coasti's that come down or come over anyway. 292 00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:17,039 Northerners move here to escape high taxes. Then they start 293 00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:19,480 to demand more GOV cost services while telling us how 294 00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,400 great it was up north. I told one from Philly 295 00:18:22,640 --> 00:18:24,960 if he didn't like it, he knew where I ninety 296 00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,640 five is. Unfortunately he never left. Yeah, this is I've 297 00:18:29,640 --> 00:18:32,680 talked about this for years, because you may not be 298 00:18:32,720 --> 00:18:35,240 aware of this, because I have worked very hard to 299 00:18:35,480 --> 00:18:39,160 eliminate the accent from my mouth. 300 00:18:39,559 --> 00:18:42,119 Speaker 1: But I grew up on Long Island. Now. 301 00:18:42,160 --> 00:18:46,519 Speaker 2: I left when I was seventeen. I came down south. 302 00:18:46,559 --> 00:18:49,440 I went to college at Winthrop University, and I never 303 00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:52,440 went back. I mean up to New York. I mean well, 304 00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:53,240 I would go visit. 305 00:18:54,079 --> 00:18:58,480 Speaker 1: I visit, but that was enough. Like I came down here. 306 00:18:58,799 --> 00:19:00,960 I liked it. I like the pace of life, I 307 00:19:01,039 --> 00:19:02,640 like the people. I liked the. 308 00:19:04,160 --> 00:19:09,720 Speaker 2: Region, and so I stayed. But I did not attempt 309 00:19:09,799 --> 00:19:13,880 to make it into a Long Island South. Why would 310 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:17,000 I do that. I just left there. I did not 311 00:19:17,119 --> 00:19:21,000 want to be there anymore. So I'm not knocking anybody 312 00:19:21,039 --> 00:19:22,759 that does go back, or that does stay up there 313 00:19:22,799 --> 00:19:24,440 and live up there. My parents are still up there. 314 00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:27,119 So a lot of my family is still up there. 315 00:19:27,400 --> 00:19:27,880 Speaker 1: It's fine. 316 00:19:27,920 --> 00:19:31,920 Speaker 2: They they're happy to be there. I think, well some 317 00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:35,880 of them not so much. But but you're free to 318 00:19:35,920 --> 00:19:40,920 go wherever you want. But I never thought it was 319 00:19:42,519 --> 00:19:45,680 It didn't make any logical sense to me to come 320 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:47,440 here and then tell everybody that this is the way 321 00:19:47,480 --> 00:19:48,680 you need to do it because this is the way 322 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:50,519 it was done up north. It doesn't matter, It doesn't 323 00:19:50,559 --> 00:19:52,680 make any sense. I came here and I like the 324 00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:57,200 way things were done here, so I stayed. And you know, 325 00:19:57,359 --> 00:20:02,279 it's just it's a lot to move again. Oh yeah, 326 00:20:02,279 --> 00:20:05,680 I don't understand that either. I don't understand that mentality. 327 00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,759 Maybe it's the same kind of vibe like when you 328 00:20:09,160 --> 00:20:13,480 hear like the h the American tourists that goes over 329 00:20:13,559 --> 00:20:17,079 to Europe and people, you know, some people don't like 330 00:20:17,079 --> 00:20:19,720 American tourists over there. Maybe it's that same sort of 331 00:20:20,200 --> 00:20:21,119 thing going on. 332 00:20:21,200 --> 00:20:21,599 Speaker 1: I don't know. 333 00:20:23,119 --> 00:20:28,279 Speaker 2: But the AP covering this story out of Ashville on 334 00:20:28,400 --> 00:20:35,880 the town hall that got rowdy quote unquote Chuck Edwards, 335 00:20:35,960 --> 00:20:40,119 Congressman Edwards, here's how the story goes before answering an 336 00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:44,519 attendee's question about President Donald Trump's quote destructive and disastrous 337 00:20:44,559 --> 00:20:48,519 trade war. US representative Chuck Edwards made a plea to 338 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:52,279 the rowdy crowd at his Thursday town hall in Asheville, 339 00:20:52,279 --> 00:20:55,559 North Carolina. Quote let me answer, and then if you 340 00:20:55,559 --> 00:20:58,799 don't like it, you can boo or hiss or you know, 341 00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:03,119 whatever you want to do. And yo, yeah, there you go. 342 00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:06,599 Speaker 1: Booo right boo. Yeah. 343 00:21:06,640 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 2: Look, here's the other thing too, about all of their 344 00:21:08,519 --> 00:21:11,519 their jeering and their sneering and their booing and cat 345 00:21:11,559 --> 00:21:15,759 calling and such. I've seen what you cheer for. Leftists. 346 00:21:16,119 --> 00:21:20,920 Your booze do not matter to me, he says, So 347 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:22,359 let me answer. If you don't like it, you can 348 00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:26,000 boo or hiss or whatever you'd like to do. Edward said, 349 00:21:26,240 --> 00:21:30,279 visibly exhausted as he expanded on Trump's use of tariffs 350 00:21:30,319 --> 00:21:33,240 as a negotiating tactic. It took less than a minute 351 00:21:33,559 --> 00:21:37,240 for the crowd to break out in outrage. He down, 352 00:21:37,279 --> 00:21:40,079 to be fair, leftists are just in a perpetual state 353 00:21:40,079 --> 00:21:42,000 of outrage, so I don't know if they broke out 354 00:21:42,039 --> 00:21:45,720 into outrage there ap. He continued to plow ahead in 355 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:49,000 his response and eventually punctuated it by telling attendees that 356 00:21:49,039 --> 00:21:52,160 he would stop there and you can yell, and the 357 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:55,359 crowd gladly took him up on the offer. For about 358 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:59,920 an hour and a half, Edwards endured a constant barra 359 00:22:00,119 --> 00:22:08,079 raj of jeers, explotives, and sharing questions on Trump administration policies. 360 00:22:08,319 --> 00:22:11,559 About three hundred people crammed inside a college auditorium for 361 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,359 the town hall, while the booze from more than one 362 00:22:14,400 --> 00:22:20,599 thousand people outside the building rumbled through the event. These 363 00:22:20,599 --> 00:22:22,240 are people, by the way, in that audience that did 364 00:22:22,240 --> 00:22:26,079 not vote for Chuck Edwards. Right, The vast majority of 365 00:22:26,119 --> 00:22:32,039 people at that event were not Edward supporters. They already 366 00:22:32,079 --> 00:22:35,640 hate Edwards. They hate Donald Trump, they hate Republicans, they 367 00:22:35,680 --> 00:22:38,119 hate a lot of things. That is the vibe you 368 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:44,160 get among leftist Democrats in Asheville. It is a constant 369 00:22:44,559 --> 00:22:49,599 they hate a lot of stuff, and then they demand 370 00:22:49,680 --> 00:22:53,480 that you quote listen to them while they tell you 371 00:22:53,599 --> 00:22:56,519 to shut up, because that's what they did last night 372 00:22:56,519 --> 00:22:59,599 to Chuck Edwards. Think about this, What is the purpose 373 00:22:59,759 --> 00:23:05,160 of holding a town hall meeting with constituents. It's to 374 00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:09,279 go there and hear from constituents. Right, Ostensibly, that's the purpose. 375 00:23:10,200 --> 00:23:12,559 You're the congressman, you show up, hey, we're working on 376 00:23:12,599 --> 00:23:14,640 some things. I want to give you some information, and 377 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:17,680 now I'll open it up for Q and A. And 378 00:23:17,799 --> 00:23:20,200 what do you think the message that he got from 379 00:23:20,319 --> 00:23:23,160 last night is except that you are a bunch of 380 00:23:23,200 --> 00:23:26,799 immature children that you do not know how to conduct 381 00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:33,759 yourself in a public venue like this. But he needs 382 00:23:33,799 --> 00:23:37,519 to know I'm angry. Already knows it. Guys, We already 383 00:23:37,559 --> 00:23:40,039 know that the left is angry. The left has been 384 00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:44,519 angry my entire life. You're not breaking any new ground here, 385 00:23:44,799 --> 00:23:47,359 So we know you're mad. We know you're angry. We 386 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:49,480 know you're a little unhinged. We know you like to 387 00:23:49,480 --> 00:23:52,119 curse in front of mixed company. You do it all 388 00:23:52,160 --> 00:23:52,599 the time. 389 00:23:52,960 --> 00:23:55,599 Speaker 1: We get it. But you need to hear us. 390 00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:59,440 Speaker 2: You need to listen to us. I've said this before, 391 00:23:59,559 --> 00:24:02,519 I shall say it again. When the Left talks in 392 00:24:02,599 --> 00:24:06,400 this way about you need to listen to what I'm saying. 393 00:24:07,160 --> 00:24:10,319 They don't mean it, as in, you need to hear 394 00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:13,960 the words they mean it, as you need to obey 395 00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:17,839 my command. Much like a parent tells a child, listen 396 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:21,200 to what I'm telling you, they're telling the child to 397 00:24:21,279 --> 00:24:25,960 do something. Listen to me, right, And that means obey me. 398 00:24:26,279 --> 00:24:28,240 That means I'm telling you what to do. You need 399 00:24:28,279 --> 00:24:30,480 to hear what I'm saying, Listen to what I'm saying, 400 00:24:30,519 --> 00:24:34,200 and then obey what I'm saying. That's what the left means. 401 00:24:34,359 --> 00:24:35,880 They don't mean hear it. We've heard it. 402 00:24:36,400 --> 00:24:37,400 Speaker 1: We have heard you. 403 00:24:38,000 --> 00:24:43,880 Speaker 2: My gosh, everybody has heard you for the last twenty years. 404 00:24:45,079 --> 00:24:48,519 You guys have been screaming in every public venue you 405 00:24:48,559 --> 00:24:52,920 can find. It's not a lack of us hearing it. 406 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:58,200 We just don't agree with you. And no amount of 407 00:24:58,359 --> 00:25:01,519 further screaming and scream wach and cussing is going to 408 00:25:01,640 --> 00:25:05,079 make me agree with you. You're not winning hearts and 409 00:25:05,119 --> 00:25:08,039 minds here, lefties. It's just not happening for you. 410 00:25:08,400 --> 00:25:08,720 Speaker 1: All right. 411 00:25:08,759 --> 00:25:10,559 Speaker 2: If you're listening to this show, you know I try 412 00:25:10,599 --> 00:25:12,359 to keep up with all sorts of current events, and 413 00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:14,480 I know you do too, And you've probably heard me 414 00:25:14,519 --> 00:25:18,720 say get your news from multiple sources. Why Well, because 415 00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:21,440 it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've 416 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:24,799 been so impressed with ground News. It's an app, and 417 00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,920 it's a website, and it combines news from around the 418 00:25:27,920 --> 00:25:30,599 world in one place, so you can compare coverage and 419 00:25:30,720 --> 00:25:34,559 verify information.

I started using ground News a few 422 00:25:41,160 --> 00:25:43,880 months ago and more recently chose to work with them 423 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:46,680 as an affiliate because it lets me see clearly how 424 00:25:46,799 --> 00:25:50,200 stories get covered and by whom. The blind spot feature 425 00:25:50,240 --> 00:25:52,920 shows you which stories get ignored by the left and 426 00:25:53,039 --> 00:25:57,000 the right.

From the 432 00:26:14,000 --> 00:26:20,279 Associated Press, article, House speaker Mike Johnson had told GOP 433 00:26:20,480 --> 00:26:26,079 representatives last week to skip out on town halls, saying 434 00:26:26,119 --> 00:26:30,680 demonstrations outside of them were the work of professional protesters. 435 00:26:32,039 --> 00:26:33,559 Speaker 1: Oh, you know, that. 436 00:26:33,519 --> 00:26:37,200 Speaker 2: Would actually be a really good story to track down 437 00:26:37,440 --> 00:26:40,799 if like, all right, I'm just spitballing here, but let's 438 00:26:40,839 --> 00:26:46,599 just say there was some sort of an entity that existed, 439 00:26:46,680 --> 00:26:50,400 like an organization or a business or something, and like 440 00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,680 the model or the service is that you hire some people, 441 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:56,079 and they would go out and find out stuff and 442 00:26:56,119 --> 00:26:59,480 then put them down in some sort of a report, 443 00:26:59,599 --> 00:27:07,079 maybe public consumption, and then people could know more things 444 00:27:07,160 --> 00:27:11,960 about what's going on around them. It's okay, it's kind 445 00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:14,920 of bare bones, but I don't know, maybe flesh it 446 00:27:14,920 --> 00:27:17,759 out later. But Edwards but that it seems like that 447 00:27:17,759 --> 00:27:21,359 would be a good thing to maybe track down find out, Hey, 448 00:27:23,079 --> 00:27:27,559 is this or is this not the work of professional protesters? 449 00:27:28,160 --> 00:27:30,400 And this used to be something that the left would 450 00:27:30,440 --> 00:27:33,000 scoff at as if it's like a fever dream of 451 00:27:33,039 --> 00:27:38,119 the right wingers. But we've actually now found thanks to 452 00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:43,119 all of the AI and the publication of the various 453 00:27:43,799 --> 00:27:47,119 FEC documents and the reporting and all of this, we 454 00:27:47,240 --> 00:27:50,440 now trace we can trace where the money is going 455 00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:52,839 to it. It's just a matter of you know, running 456 00:27:52,839 --> 00:27:57,400 these things through the algorithms to find the connections. And yes, 457 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:00,440 as a matter of fact, I do have a story, 458 00:28:01,759 --> 00:28:05,240 not about the Ashville protests, but about some other organizations. 459 00:28:05,240 --> 00:28:09,400 I'll get to that in the next hour. So Edwards 460 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:13,799 addressed the Republican leader's advice, saying he didn't want to 461 00:28:13,839 --> 00:28:16,640 shy away from conversations with the people of western North 462 00:28:16,640 --> 00:28:20,759 Carolina even if they disagreed. But less than thirty minutes 463 00:28:20,759 --> 00:28:24,359 into the town hall, Edwards started to change his tune 464 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:32,960 as a majority of attendees interrupted him with vitriolic disruptions. Again, 465 00:28:33,920 --> 00:28:38,039 what are you there for to yell at a congressman? 466 00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:42,559 What do you think that accomplishes? You know, you're not 467 00:28:42,680 --> 00:28:46,000 changing that guy's mind by screaming and yelling at him, right, 468 00:28:46,279 --> 00:28:52,119 that never works. So as a tactic, I don't understand 469 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:56,799 if you're trying to actually affect change, why you would 470 00:28:56,799 --> 00:29:00,480 engage in this behavior. So if you don't understand the results, 471 00:29:00,519 --> 00:29:03,680 re examine your assumptions, reassess the assumption. So my assumption 472 00:29:03,799 --> 00:29:05,839 is they're trying to affect change. Hah, they are not. 473 00:29:06,480 --> 00:29:09,880 They're actually just doing it for themselves, for their own pleasure. 474 00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:12,359 In that sense, it's sort of masturbatory. So like you 475 00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,839 have this need, this itch, and you just need to 476 00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:19,119 start it. And oh, I feel so much better now 477 00:29:19,599 --> 00:29:21,720 that I got to yell and scream and throw cuss 478 00:29:21,759 --> 00:29:24,880 words around an auditorium, And I feel so much better, 479 00:29:24,920 --> 00:29:28,000 And I'm morally superior to that guy and everybody that. 480 00:29:28,079 --> 00:29:29,400 Speaker 1: Agrees with him. 481 00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:35,759 Speaker 2: It's so performative, it's so performative, and we don't believe you. 482 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,680 Speaker 1: That's the thing. We don't believe You're not morally superior. 483 00:29:40,960 --> 00:29:41,279 You're not. 484 00:29:42,559 --> 00:29:46,559 Speaker 2: You're just acting like a jerk, that's all. Asheville is 485 00:29:46,559 --> 00:29:48,920 a deep blue dot amid a sea of red in 486 00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:52,200 North Carolina's mountains. North Carolina went for Trump in the 487 00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:56,279 twenty twenty four election. Edwards said, quote, and you wonder 488 00:29:56,400 --> 00:30:01,680 why folks don't want to do these town halls right, Well, see, 489 00:30:01,720 --> 00:30:05,440 then they would claim he's scared of us. No, it's 490 00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:08,400 not productive, and he did say that last night. Edwards 491 00:30:08,400 --> 00:30:11,519 pointed out, like this is not productive. It's a waste 492 00:30:11,559 --> 00:30:16,440 of time. And what the shouters are doing is they 493 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:19,480 are engaging in what is called the heckler's veto. Right, 494 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,799 they're going to scream at you and prevent you from 495 00:30:22,839 --> 00:30:25,440 doing the thing that you came here to do, to 496 00:30:25,519 --> 00:30:30,559 tell people about western North Carolina recovery, right, the funding 497 00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:33,279 and where that stuff stands and how that's going at 498 00:30:33,319 --> 00:30:36,079 the federal level. People showed up there maybe wanting some 499 00:30:36,200 --> 00:30:38,400 information on that, and they're not going to be able 500 00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:43,680 to hear it because the hecklers are shouting down this congressman. 501 00:30:43,720 --> 00:30:48,519 Because they hate the Orange Man so much as Edwards 502 00:30:48,599 --> 00:30:50,880 touted the work he and the Trump administration has been 503 00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:54,279 doing for the region's recovery, which could include the President's 504 00:30:54,279 --> 00:31:00,039 proposal to dissolve FEMA. And that's how the AP leaves it, 505 00:31:00,079 --> 00:31:02,960 to dissolve FEMA, Yeah, and give the money directly to 506 00:31:03,039 --> 00:31:07,319 states AP. Why'd you leave that part out anyway? Attendees 507 00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:11,359 shouted him down and demanded he address questions immediately. 508 00:31:11,599 --> 00:31:13,240 Speaker 1: We don't want to hear what you have to say. 509 00:31:13,279 --> 00:31:16,759 We've got questions, I got questions. Why did you think 510 00:31:16,799 --> 00:31:20,680 so much? That's what they were doing last night, and 511 00:31:20,759 --> 00:31:23,599 the media is like, oh my gosh, this is so democracy. 512 00:31:25,079 --> 00:31:27,680 Speaker 2: One person was escorted out of the venue after hurling 513 00:31:27,759 --> 00:31:33,160 expletives at the congressman. Several people screamed from various parts 514 00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:36,960 of the room, quote listen to us now, which again, 515 00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:41,720 listen to us. In other words, obey, obey. 516 00:31:42,200 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: When you're just. 517 00:31:42,839 --> 00:31:45,960 Speaker 2: Screaming listen to me, listen to me, listen to me. 518 00:31:47,079 --> 00:31:52,839 That's actually not productive. You're not because once when somebody 519 00:31:52,839 --> 00:31:54,839 hears you say that, Okay, I heard you say that, 520 00:31:54,920 --> 00:31:56,640 and you just keep saying listen to me, and I 521 00:31:56,720 --> 00:32:01,599 hate you, and I hate Trump. That's okay, noted Let's 522 00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:05,119 move on. No, I need to keep saying it, which 523 00:32:05,160 --> 00:32:07,400 is asked. Actually one of the rules of public hearings, 524 00:32:08,160 --> 00:32:10,440 which is everything has been said, but not everybody has 525 00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,680 said it. Edwards said Trump and Musk were over the target. 526 00:32:14,759 --> 00:32:17,240 In a news conference after his event, he said, I 527 00:32:17,359 --> 00:32:19,079 take away from what I heard today is that we're 528 00:32:19,119 --> 00:32:21,599 doing exactly what the American people sent us to DC 529 00:32:21,759 --> 00:32:25,799 to do. Right, So the screeching performances did not change 530 00:32:25,839 --> 00:32:28,599 a thing. Congratulations asheville leftists. 531 00:32:29,839 --> 00:32:31,799 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode. 532 00:32:31,839 --> 00:32:33,880 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for listening.
