WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:04.160 I literally was sitting there and I could not advance 2 00:00:04.240 --> 00:00:07.839 this morning because you know, somebody's like, ah, I could 3 00:00:07.960 --> 00:00:10.039 you know, I could do the full speed and uh 4 00:00:11.919 --> 00:00:14.560 in my car that doesn't have front wheel drive or 5 00:00:14.599 --> 00:00:18.519 four wheel drive. So seriously, be careful out there this morning. 6 00:00:19.359 --> 00:00:23.879 That is all I'm going to say. Okay, not because 7 00:00:23.920 --> 00:00:27.160 I don't trust your ability to go ahead and drive. Sorry, 8 00:00:27.199 --> 00:00:30.280 I'm literally move because I'm on a secondary microphone because 9 00:00:30.320 --> 00:00:35.640 for some reason, my main one is disconnected. Oh what 10 00:00:35.759 --> 00:00:39.679 a morning? What a morning. That's okay, we'll go ahead 11 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.240 and we're going to truck right through this thing. Uh, 12 00:00:44.359 --> 00:00:47.320 do not Ross? How is the commune I'm in? Just 13 00:00:47.359 --> 00:00:51.240 for everyone. I am in Greensboro in the Greensboro studio. 14 00:00:52.159 --> 00:00:55.200 Ross is in the Raleigh studio. He sent me a 15 00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.280 photo yesterday because I asked him. I'm like, how is 16 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:02.600 it over in in wake Forest where he lives, and 17 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:06.120 he sent me a photo that I'm almost sure is 18 00:01:06.239 --> 00:01:12.200 the ice wall for the flat Earth people, and not 19 00:01:12.560 --> 00:01:15.719 the actual amount of snowfall in wake Forest, which would 20 00:01:15.760 --> 00:01:19.439 require a glacier. But I don't know for sure. 21 00:01:19.719 --> 00:01:21.439 So you know what the funny thing is? 22 00:01:21.519 --> 00:01:25.000 Yesterday on the weather app there, which it was like 23 00:01:25.040 --> 00:01:28.519 no snow, no snow, no snow, no snow. And then 24 00:01:28.560 --> 00:01:30.560 suddenly it was like, hey, you're gonna get like four 25 00:01:30.599 --> 00:01:33.560 hours of snow. So I woke up this morning like 26 00:01:33.599 --> 00:01:36.359 an hour early to come to work right right, right clean. 27 00:01:36.439 --> 00:01:39.400 After car everything's fine. The road's in wake Forest and 28 00:01:39.439 --> 00:01:43.280 like Wakefield leading into Raleigh, like you can't see the road. 29 00:01:44.000 --> 00:01:45.400 It's sort of like I think, I think I'm on 30 00:01:45.439 --> 00:01:47.040 the road and I'm gonna, you know, I'm gonna make 31 00:01:47.079 --> 00:01:49.400 sure i'm gonna I'm driving the appropriate speed and I'm 32 00:01:49.400 --> 00:01:51.760 gonna make sure my braking is okay. And then when 33 00:01:51.760 --> 00:01:55.439 you cross over like past five forty Downfalls of Noose, 34 00:01:55.480 --> 00:01:59.200 right when you get that that that exit there, suddenly 35 00:01:59.239 --> 00:02:00.000 you can see the road. 36 00:02:01.200 --> 00:02:03.319 It was like it's like South Carolina. 37 00:02:03.719 --> 00:02:04.439 Yeah. 38 00:02:04.640 --> 00:02:07.159 Yeah. When you're driving, you're driving, you're like, oh, this 39 00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.400 interstate is Interstate E. This is now? Oh my god, 40 00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:12.879 what happened? And then you're in South Carolina. Yeah. 41 00:02:13.199 --> 00:02:15.599 No, certain portions of it. You still had to like, 42 00:02:15.639 --> 00:02:18.400 you know, be careful right when you're right, be careful. 43 00:02:18.439 --> 00:02:20.439 And the side roads are still bad. But like Atlantic 44 00:02:20.520 --> 00:02:23.080 was fine, falls, the news was fine. The parking light 45 00:02:23.120 --> 00:02:24.840 here at the radio station was all sort of messed up, 46 00:02:24.879 --> 00:02:26.000 so it's like where you want to park so you 47 00:02:26.080 --> 00:02:27.759 can leave at the end of the show because I 48 00:02:27.759 --> 00:02:30.879 don't feel like sleeping here, right, Yeah, all that kind 49 00:02:30.879 --> 00:02:33.360 of stuff. But it was super weird because driving from 50 00:02:33.360 --> 00:02:35.560 wake Forest through Wakefield, it was like, this is bad. 51 00:02:36.800 --> 00:02:40.759 It was uh So I left my so I'm broadcasting 52 00:02:40.759 --> 00:02:45.639 in Greensboro, uh or more specifically our studios at high Point. 53 00:02:45.919 --> 00:02:48.960 I left the hotel that I stay at in high 54 00:02:49.039 --> 00:02:53.960 Point and uh last night at eight to go to 55 00:02:54.560 --> 00:02:56.240 uh well, I tried. I was trying to go to 56 00:02:56.280 --> 00:03:00.719 the Wendy's down the street, like this is not fine dining. 57 00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:04.879 I was seeking and the McDonald's and the Wendy's nearest 58 00:03:04.919 --> 00:03:09.159 the hotel were closed. And this was at eight. Found 59 00:03:09.280 --> 00:03:14.759 the McDonald's over on sixty eight on east Chester was 60 00:03:14.840 --> 00:03:17.439 open and it was hard to see. This morning, I 61 00:03:17.520 --> 00:03:20.000 woke up and I'm like, I can see the roads. 62 00:03:21.319 --> 00:03:25.759 Looks okay, there's no more snow. The on the suv. 63 00:03:27.080 --> 00:03:30.759 It's gonna be fine. But then I realized right as 64 00:03:30.800 --> 00:03:35.400 I got towards the radio station, some of you suck 65 00:03:35.439 --> 00:03:41.039 at driving. You know who you are well, I mean legally, 66 00:03:41.080 --> 00:03:43.120 if I pulled the thing, we actually have names. But 67 00:03:43.719 --> 00:03:50.080 like it was worse last night, and yet this morning 68 00:03:50.360 --> 00:03:54.560 they're like, nah, you can't drive over here. So I 69 00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:57.280 ended up having to do this, like this weird roundabout 70 00:03:57.360 --> 00:03:59.960 I made it with like I don't know, two minutes 71 00:04:00.199 --> 00:04:03.840 into the station, and that's and and and that's slightly 72 00:04:03.879 --> 00:04:06.479 on me. But there's like a window where I go 73 00:04:06.599 --> 00:04:11.280 through all of these websites in the morning and I uh, 74 00:04:11.439 --> 00:04:16.079 I you know, so whatever you have, be careful, Okay, 75 00:04:16.759 --> 00:04:21.439 just be careful. Plans some extra minutes, or be in 76 00:04:21.480 --> 00:04:23.759 a situation where it's not the end of the world 77 00:04:23.920 --> 00:04:28.240 if you're a little late. Okay, all right, rock on. 78 00:04:28.560 --> 00:04:30.399 That's where we're gonna be. I sa I literally I 79 00:04:30.439 --> 00:04:34.120 have nothing booted up other than my microphone because it's 80 00:04:34.240 --> 00:04:38.920 just that kind of morning. But uh, you know, we'll, we'll, 81 00:04:38.920 --> 00:04:41.000 we'll truck through. There's lots to get to coming up 82 00:04:41.040 --> 00:04:48.399 on the show. H'm I'm done, I'm I have I 83 00:04:48.480 --> 00:04:52.879 have no more energy. I'm literally I I am going 84 00:04:52.959 --> 00:04:56.040 to offer myself up as a tribute to get rid 85 00:04:56.079 --> 00:05:04.319 of Tom tillis I I I'm I can't with this guy. Anymore. 86 00:05:05.399 --> 00:05:09.399 I'm just out. And you know, frankly, I'm gonna I 87 00:05:09.480 --> 00:05:15.879 will compromise my own rules. And I'm ross you've known 88 00:05:15.920 --> 00:05:22.160 me for over a decade. I'm not your political activist host. Correct, 89 00:05:23.319 --> 00:05:26.240 that is correct, that is a hundred I'm willing to 90 00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:30.079 be that guy. I'm just done, you know why, because 91 00:05:30.120 --> 00:05:36.240 I'm having so much friggin fun right now with all 92 00:05:36.319 --> 00:05:39.519 of the things that are available to fix and handle 93 00:05:39.879 --> 00:05:45.040 and do, and I will not have that garbage human 94 00:05:45.160 --> 00:05:48.759 standing in the way. So if I have to compromise 95 00:05:49.160 --> 00:05:55.319 myself to accomplish it, I'm willing to do it. And 96 00:05:55.399 --> 00:05:57.800 I and I didn't. I didn't just jump on this. 97 00:05:57.959 --> 00:06:00.920 I had an amazing nap yesterday because that is the 98 00:06:00.920 --> 00:06:04.000 one thing that is the one thing that this kind 99 00:06:04.000 --> 00:06:10.920 of weather will provide for you, amazing napping conditions. And 100 00:06:11.000 --> 00:06:14.519 so it is post snap as I'm sitting there and 101 00:06:14.560 --> 00:06:17.959 I'm getting ready to put show prep together, I'm just like, 102 00:06:19.480 --> 00:06:21.240 I'm done. What can I do? 103 00:06:23.439 --> 00:06:24.000 And I. 104 00:06:25.720 --> 00:06:30.639 Realize that it's in a way I'm offering myself for tribute. 105 00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.279 Maybe not in the way it means in the movie, 106 00:06:35.319 --> 00:06:36.879 but you understand, Okay. 107 00:06:36.720 --> 00:06:39.879 I've never known you because yeah, we have like fifteen 108 00:06:39.920 --> 00:06:41.720 years or something.

Don't vote for this dude. 110 00:06:44.079 --> 00:06:46.160 You've never done it ever, ever. 111 00:06:46.319 --> 00:06:49.319 But you saw the tweets. I just not seen the tweets. 112 00:06:50.160 --> 00:06:51.079 I can't. 113 00:06:51.199 --> 00:06:57.600 I can't anymore. I refuse to allow the cancer that 114 00:06:57.759 --> 00:07:03.720 is Tom Tillis to f up this window, this opportunity. 115 00:07:03.800 --> 00:07:06.759 And it's not because I necessarily. Here's the thing, there 116 00:07:06.759 --> 00:07:10.000 are parts of me that agree with Tom tillis his 117 00:07:10.240 --> 00:07:13.800 take on some of the JA sixers. This is what's crazy. 118 00:07:14.639 --> 00:07:17.959 We're not far off, but he's such a garbage piece 119 00:07:18.000 --> 00:07:21.480 of garbage, which is a new phrase I just invented. 120 00:07:22.040 --> 00:07:26.360 I can't anymore. And I refuse to sit here and 121 00:07:26.439 --> 00:07:30.839 let n see GOP. People go, well, if you say 122 00:07:30.879 --> 00:07:34.079 something and he gets in and the Democrat gets in, 123 00:07:34.160 --> 00:07:37.000 it's on you. No, it's not on me. It's on you. 124 00:07:38.439 --> 00:07:41.879 That's your boy, and you didn't wrangle your boy, you 125 00:07:41.879 --> 00:07:46.959 didn't handle your boy, So screw that. So I'll give 126 00:07:47.000 --> 00:07:51.560 you the terms of this and we'll go from there, 127 00:07:51.600 --> 00:07:54.480 and then we'll talk about fun stuff and unfun stuff, 128 00:07:54.480 --> 00:07:59.720 and I don't care. But I'm just done I'm absolutely 129 00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:04.480 and deal with Adam Schiff and his people trying to 130 00:08:04.560 --> 00:08:07.480 crap all over this and trying to stop it. I 131 00:08:07.560 --> 00:08:11.839 recognize that I will not deal with a member of 132 00:08:11.879 --> 00:08:15.519 the gop let alone, a Senator or a congressman from 133 00:08:15.519 --> 00:08:19.279 the state of North Carolina. It will not happen. It's done. 134 00:08:19.519 --> 00:08:24.399 That person needs fired into the sun. Okay, we're done. 135 00:08:25.800 --> 00:08:28.439 And if that means that I got to sit here 136 00:08:29.040 --> 00:08:34.039 and I have to associate myself, not because I mind individuals, 137 00:08:34.480 --> 00:08:38.279 but because it's a if I have to compromise my 138 00:08:38.519 --> 00:08:42.879 own rules, I will do that, and I will do 139 00:08:43.000 --> 00:08:46.480 that because I'm in a position to do that. Does 140 00:08:46.480 --> 00:08:51.240 that make sense, I'll explain the details. Okay, it's six 141 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:56.639 point fifteen. Thank god, the equipment's working. Thank god.

I didn't. 147 00:09:11.559 --> 00:09:13.799 I didn't know. Sometimes the radio people use different days. 148 00:09:13.799 --> 00:09:15.799 I don't know. We'll research it, we'll figure it out, 149 00:09:15.840 --> 00:09:18.879 we'll do it. Coming up hang on my coffee final Sorry, 150 00:09:18.879 --> 00:09:22.840 it was an emergency, had to go make coffee. And 151 00:09:22.879 --> 00:09:25.279 then the thing was like, dah, we don't want to 152 00:09:25.320 --> 00:09:27.960 work this morning, and then uh, you know, here we be. 153 00:09:28.039 --> 00:09:35.399 So I just I hit my breaking point yesterday. And 154 00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:37.799 it would have been great if it was you know, 155 00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:41.440 I went out and was bar hopping with friends and 156 00:09:42.600 --> 00:09:45.679 just you know, posted like a drunk tweet or text 157 00:09:45.759 --> 00:09:48.840 or anything. But I didn't. I stewed yesterday. I sat 158 00:09:48.840 --> 00:09:52.279 there because the weather was coming in. I'm broadcasting in 159 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.279 our Greensboro facility this morning, so we're all week and 160 00:09:58.360 --> 00:10:02.440 just chilling, and I just I hit a breaking point 161 00:10:02.559 --> 00:10:09.840 sitting here and watching what is supposed to be the 162 00:10:12.720 --> 00:10:16.879 GOP elected. Now, I just want to point out I 163 00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:19.559 am not a member of the party. It probably wouldn't 164 00:10:19.639 --> 00:10:26.240 let me in, as I've spent so many minutes on 165 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.440 the radio imploring people not to send them money when 166 00:10:29.440 --> 00:10:35.120 they do stupid stuff. That being said, as I sat 167 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:39.639 there yesterday and I recognized the opportunity that we have 168 00:10:39.759 --> 00:10:42.759 and let me And I haven't hit ross with this ross. 169 00:10:42.799 --> 00:10:46.759 What is your level of excitement for the first, let's 170 00:10:46.879 --> 00:10:51.159 just say month of the Trump thing in the fire 171 00:10:51.240 --> 00:10:55.440 hose concept that we talked about yesterday, where it's just 172 00:10:55.879 --> 00:10:58.960 there's so many things screwed up. There's so many things 173 00:11:00.200 --> 00:11:03.799 unusual with this last administration up to and including the 174 00:11:03.799 --> 00:11:09.759 fact that the president frankly wasn't presidenting where you recognize 175 00:11:11.639 --> 00:11:13.600 you gotta go ahead, and you gotta get this stuff 176 00:11:13.639 --> 00:11:18.000 in there, and and and and anything that stands in 177 00:11:18.039 --> 00:11:22.159 the way is essentially seen as an Adam Schiff. How 178 00:11:22.320 --> 00:11:27.279 what's your excitement level for this too? Overwhelm the system 179 00:11:27.440 --> 00:11:31.279 with common sense, if you had, if you had to, 180 00:11:31.559 --> 00:11:33.639 if you had to pick, because that's where I'm at, 181 00:11:34.159 --> 00:11:36.360 That's where I'm I'm sitting here, and I'm just like 182 00:11:37.720 --> 00:11:44.440 hit them with everything because they so deviated from what 183 00:11:44.600 --> 00:11:48.080 you know, the normal human stuff as recognized within the 184 00:11:48.360 --> 00:11:52.399 within the election. That is that's one of the things 185 00:11:52.440 --> 00:11:56.639 that is very exciting to me. And so then I 186 00:11:56.639 --> 00:11:59.200 have to ask myself, Okay, so what's standing in the way, 187 00:11:59.360 --> 00:12:02.000 And you know, and Adam Schiff coming out and going 188 00:12:02.399 --> 00:12:06.360 elon did a Nazi salute, and so and so is 189 00:12:06.799 --> 00:12:10.039 saying this, Pete hegg Seth, we we just got a letter. 190 00:12:10.840 --> 00:12:12.679 We just got a letter, and this is all It's 191 00:12:12.720 --> 00:12:16.720 so horrible and uh, Pam BONDI the AG. We don't 192 00:12:16.720 --> 00:12:19.519 want to have an AG, so we're gonna pause her 193 00:12:19.679 --> 00:12:24.039 hearing for seven days. You're facing all of that, and 194 00:12:24.120 --> 00:12:27.720 I can deal with all of that because I expect 195 00:12:27.799 --> 00:12:33.120 all of that. And then I see Tom Tillis in 196 00:12:33.159 --> 00:12:41.200 a hallway pretending like this thing with the J sixers 197 00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:45.519 is a big problem for him because cops and that 198 00:12:45.879 --> 00:12:49.559 son of a bitch, we'll get one of those in 199 00:12:49.720 --> 00:12:54.159 do not dump that. I haven't heard a peep from 200 00:12:54.200 --> 00:12:58.399 him over the fact that the former president or the 201 00:12:58.440 --> 00:13:07.000 people around him were pardoning and lessening sentences for people 202 00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:11.559 who did things like I don't know, killed two FBI officers, 203 00:13:14.879 --> 00:13:19.879 killed children, torture children in front of parents before killing them, 204 00:13:19.919 --> 00:13:23.960 going back to the commutations of the death row inmates, like, 205 00:13:24.159 --> 00:13:30.799 I haven't heard the passion, and I'm just done. I've 206 00:13:30.879 --> 00:13:34.799 had a seating hatred for the attitude that I've seen 207 00:13:34.960 --> 00:13:39.919 from so many Washington politicians, and I don't allow myself 208 00:13:39.960 --> 00:13:43.679 to give into activism, but on this one occasion, I will. 209 00:13:45.440 --> 00:13:51.320 If the North Carolina GP does not withdraw their support 210 00:13:51.440 --> 00:13:57.480 from Tom tillis my only hobby for the next two years, 211 00:13:57.759 --> 00:14:02.720 is carving in to your roughly one hundred thousand or 212 00:14:03.600 --> 00:14:08.320 eighteen thousand, depending on which race margin. And I can 213 00:14:08.360 --> 00:14:11.279 do that standing on my head with the ratings and 214 00:14:11.320 --> 00:14:16.840 the following we have here. You're done. That's it. And 215 00:14:16.879 --> 00:14:19.159 if I'm done and I'm wrong, then so be it. 216 00:14:21.600 --> 00:14:25.879 We're done. He's done, he needs to go. He's out 217 00:14:27.200 --> 00:14:29.519 because your alternative and you will sit here and you 218 00:14:29.519 --> 00:14:35.159 will blame me for it. Is that. Well, you're gonna 219 00:14:35.159 --> 00:14:39.960 cost us a seat. No, I'm giving you two years notice. 220 00:14:40.159 --> 00:14:42.600 You get rid of him, and you get somebody in here. 221 00:14:43.600 --> 00:14:46.320 Use somebody in here who's just not a giant, vile 222 00:14:46.480 --> 00:14:50.720 piece of garbage. Okay, at least he's not a right Cooper, 223 00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.519 which is what a lot of people think. That's why 224 00:14:52.519 --> 00:15:00.279 I'm giving two years notice. There's no excuse. Okay, giving 225 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:04.399 two years notice the North Carolina And here is the 226 00:15:04.600 --> 00:15:08.120 offer I'm willing to serve up. I am willing to 227 00:15:08.279 --> 00:15:19.000 compromise my own rules. Okay, if the North Carolina GOP 228 00:15:20.720 --> 00:15:24.799 will excommunicate Tom Tillis and say, you know what, this 229 00:15:25.000 --> 00:15:27.200 is not the guy. We're gonna get the guy, and 230 00:15:27.240 --> 00:15:29.679 we're gonna win what is obviously gonna be a hard 231 00:15:29.679 --> 00:15:33.039 fought battle. Yes, I know we're going against Roy Cooper, 232 00:15:33.639 --> 00:15:37.519 but we can't have a piece of garbage in there anymore. 233 00:15:40.080 --> 00:15:44.720 I will indorse your candidate post vetting. I mean, like 234 00:15:44.759 --> 00:15:47.879 it was Freddy Krueger. I'm not going to. And I've 235 00:15:48.440 --> 00:15:52.799 never endorsed a candidate. Ross. Have I ever endorsed a 236 00:15:52.840 --> 00:15:55.799 candidate ever in the time that you've worked with me, 237 00:15:55.840 --> 00:15:59.600 which is over a decade. He's shaking his head. 238 00:15:59.679 --> 00:16:00.240 I have not. 239 00:16:03.080 --> 00:16:08.759 I will. That's crazy town. I swore I would never 240 00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.600 do that, but I refuse to miss this window of 241 00:16:12.759 --> 00:16:22.399 opportunity to rectify what has been a bastardization of how 242 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.360 we do things in this country. I'm angry, and I 243 00:16:27.679 --> 00:16:29.639 just want to have fun. I just want to talk 244 00:16:29.679 --> 00:16:34.559 about Lauren Sanchez's boobs and Mark Zuckerberg's inability to look away. 245 00:16:35.000 --> 00:16:40.879 Dudes love boobs, breaking news this morning, That's what I 246 00:16:40.879 --> 00:16:43.440 want to talk I want to talk about Ross Olbrich 247 00:16:43.519 --> 00:16:48.759 getting a pardon. But you know, Ross being Ross, you 248 00:16:48.799 --> 00:16:51.519 know having fun that it's him. That's what I want 249 00:16:51.559 --> 00:16:55.200 to talk about. But I refuse, and I have not 250 00:16:55.360 --> 00:16:57.559 gone there on the offense of this guy. And I 251 00:16:57.679 --> 00:17:01.240 firmly believe he's such a piece of garbage that people 252 00:17:01.279 --> 00:17:07.880 around him will attempt to come after me, and I 253 00:17:08.000 --> 00:17:15.000 don't care. Trust me, I have a a bit of 254 00:17:15.160 --> 00:17:22.000 buffering that I've created for myself. What is that way? 255 00:17:22.039 --> 00:17:26.079 Hold up? Boston Paul is a Boston Paul. Get on 256 00:17:26.119 --> 00:17:26.839 the winning team. 257 00:17:26.920 --> 00:17:27.119 Bro. 258 00:17:29.359 --> 00:17:31.480 You sound like you're having your period. You know what? 259 00:17:31.559 --> 00:17:37.359 Who cares? I've just done. I was so angry sitting there, 260 00:17:37.640 --> 00:17:40.359 and I don't allow myself to get over that side 261 00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.440 of it without a little bit of humor there. The 262 00:17:42.599 --> 00:17:47.359 humor is gone because I recognize that we are in 263 00:17:47.480 --> 00:17:54.559 a precarious window right now. We're in a precarious window 264 00:17:54.640 --> 00:18:00.000 right now, and I refuse to have Tom Tillis set up, 265 00:18:00.279 --> 00:18:07.799 Slender Man or anybody else impede this. We could have 266 00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:13.279 gone on if you would have just shut up for 267 00:18:13.680 --> 00:18:18.000 like three months. But I don't care anymore. So I'm 268 00:18:18.079 --> 00:18:22.799 bypassing you because you're not going to learn. And I 269 00:18:23.960 --> 00:18:27.960 am imploring the State GOP, and I am imploring my 270 00:18:28.119 --> 00:18:31.880 listeners to reach out to the State GOP Liz chaining 271 00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:39.519 him and move on. That's it, And if you do that, 272 00:18:39.960 --> 00:18:43.519 I will aid you in your effort to get people 273 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:51.599 in there who either can shut up and help or 274 00:18:52.039 --> 00:18:55.720 better be you know, a more expanded part of the solution. 275 00:18:56.400 --> 00:19:03.440 That's it. I'll come your stupid event, not call it stupid. 276 00:19:05.599 --> 00:19:08.319 I won't smile because I don't ros. He will tell 277 00:19:08.319 --> 00:19:12.839 you I don't smile. I won't smile, but I'll say 278 00:19:12.920 --> 00:19:16.119 nice things and we will get it done together. But 279 00:19:16.240 --> 00:19:19.200 you have one thing you have to do. You have 280 00:19:19.279 --> 00:19:25.279 to get rid of him. And I'm a little low CD, 281 00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:33.200 which is really weird because I'm simultaneously OCD on things 282 00:19:33.240 --> 00:19:38.400 I like and super procrastinator on other things. He's done. 283 00:19:38.599 --> 00:19:41.799 It's over, it's gone. It's a failed experiment. He failed 284 00:19:41.880 --> 00:19:47.359 Upward for so many years. Screw him. He's out. And 285 00:19:47.400 --> 00:19:53.519 you can either fall in line with this or I 286 00:19:53.559 --> 00:19:55.960 got two years. You don't think I can shave his 287 00:19:56.160 --> 00:20:00.799 margin of victory with the amount of audience an influence 288 00:20:00.880 --> 00:20:04.200 that we have built on this show. I promise you 289 00:20:04.240 --> 00:20:09.680 I can, which is why people advertise on this show, 290 00:20:11.839 --> 00:20:16.319 because we are so effective in reaching so many people. 291 00:20:16.559 --> 00:20:21.200 I can't get into details on the air of our ratings, 292 00:20:22.240 --> 00:20:23.880 so I will say this, and I want to be 293 00:20:24.000 --> 00:20:28.680 very delicate. Ross have you ever worked in a show 294 00:20:28.799 --> 00:20:33.319 environment that has the insane ratings and reach that we. 295 00:20:33.279 --> 00:20:36.039 Have right now at this moment. 296 00:20:36.119 --> 00:20:43.319 No ever, no never, And that is an under exact 297 00:20:43.440 --> 00:20:45.559 And I'm not dragging or Ross can do whatever he wants. 298 00:20:45.559 --> 00:20:49.319 I just want to point out this is me. You 299 00:20:49.440 --> 00:20:55.680 have no idea and I'm not this guy, and you've 300 00:20:55.759 --> 00:20:56.880 made me this guy. 301 00:20:57.160 --> 00:20:59.480 I mean, you know, I you know my position on 302 00:20:59.519 --> 00:21:03.599 Tom Tail for a long time, Like my initial impression 303 00:21:03.640 --> 00:21:05.680 was you can't trust to Tom who spells his name 304 00:21:05.759 --> 00:21:06.759 Tom was. 305 00:21:07.559 --> 00:21:08.160 From the beginning. 306 00:21:08.319 --> 00:21:12.720 Yeah, yeah, yeah, I called him slender man dude. So 307 00:21:12.799 --> 00:21:13.519 you know where I'm at. 308 00:21:14.319 --> 00:21:18.559 Yeah, I'm just done, you know why, because it's it's 309 00:21:18.640 --> 00:21:20.920 not even if he was just being an a hole 310 00:21:21.039 --> 00:21:23.160 to be an a hole, it is one moment. We'd 311 00:21:23.200 --> 00:21:25.559 move on and we talk about it. But I'm so 312 00:21:27.119 --> 00:21:33.119 there is such an opportunity here. You've radicalized me and 313 00:21:33.200 --> 00:21:37.279 maybe I'll get over it, but not on this issue. 314 00:21:39.039 --> 00:21:43.960 Gone done, it's over, Or you can work against me. 315 00:21:44.640 --> 00:21:48.640 I don't care, you know why, because I have nothing 316 00:21:48.640 --> 00:21:53.279 to lose. You explained to me how Roy Cooper, who 317 00:21:53.319 --> 00:21:55.359 a lot of people think is going to be any 318 00:21:55.400 --> 00:21:59.519 different than the way that this guy's operating, and then 319 00:21:59.599 --> 00:22:04.440 ask your self, why won't the ncg OP, having two 320 00:22:04.559 --> 00:22:11.039 years notice, do something about it. That's it, that's my morning, 321 00:22:11.480 --> 00:22:13.640 that's my goal. And some of you are not gonna 322 00:22:13.720 --> 00:22:15.799 like me over it because you want the path of 323 00:22:15.920 --> 00:22:19.240 least resistance. But stand for something or stand for nothing. 324 00:22:22.920 --> 00:22:27.200 Those are your choices. So by giving this level of 325 00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:33.440 notice and and this amount of time, fix it, do something. 326 00:22:37.160 --> 00:22:40.480 Sitting here and going I can't believe they did that. 327 00:22:41.720 --> 00:22:45.160 I can't believe that. Uh uh, these pardons with the 328 00:22:45.240 --> 00:22:49.400 Jay sixers. I've already had an adult conversation, and I 329 00:22:49.400 --> 00:22:54.359 would I would have been willing to have one, but 330 00:22:55.880 --> 00:22:58.319 I did not see the passion. I did not see 331 00:22:58.359 --> 00:23:03.519 the effort when literally a week ago, the former president 332 00:23:03.599 --> 00:23:06.119 of the United States or people around him just shoving 333 00:23:06.200 --> 00:23:09.200 papers in front of his face, were like, all right, 334 00:23:09.279 --> 00:23:11.559 so we got some baby killers, let's go ahead and 335 00:23:11.640 --> 00:23:15.640 give them a commutation. Oh this Native American dude, he 336 00:23:15.759 --> 00:23:19.640 killed two FBI agents. Commutation for him, like your Oprah 337 00:23:19.720 --> 00:23:23.519 handing out cars. Those of you listening to the show 338 00:23:23.599 --> 00:23:25.480 right now, you're like, why is this guy screaming? He 339 00:23:25.519 --> 00:23:28.920 doesn't do that? You did this to not you, the listeners. 340 00:23:29.079 --> 00:23:33.759 You did this to me, and I realized I can't 341 00:23:34.359 --> 00:23:38.359 in this time, when there's so much opportunity to accomplish 342 00:23:38.400 --> 00:23:44.079 things and change things and do things, I can't have 343 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:48.319 somebody who's one of one hundred votes, and more importantly, 344 00:23:48.400 --> 00:23:51.680 is one of you know fifty and you know fifty 345 00:23:51.759 --> 00:23:55.279 one to fifty three votes standing in the way. I 346 00:23:55.319 --> 00:23:58.480 will not be responsible for that. He has to go. 347 00:23:59.720 --> 00:24:06.519 He is Liz Cheney. He's out. He's out, or I'm out. Oh, 348 00:24:06.559 --> 00:24:08.920 he's a US center. I got it. And if that's 349 00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:19.079 the direction they want to go, fine, he's out. Make 350 00:24:19.119 --> 00:24:30.240 it happen or this this is your opposition, choose wisely. 351 00:24:31.279 --> 00:24:39.319 All right, that's it, all right, hold on, I'm just 352 00:24:39.319 --> 00:24:42.880 looking at my email. I have one, two, three, four 353 00:24:43.000 --> 00:24:49.039 or five, six of an eight, nine, ten. I'm counting here, 354 00:24:49.400 --> 00:24:53.880 twenty seven, twenty six, twenty five, twenty seven, twenty eight. 355 00:24:55.200 --> 00:24:59.160 There's twenty eight people in just a few moments who 356 00:24:59.279 --> 00:25:03.559 have taken time I'm out of their morning to be 357 00:25:03.720 --> 00:25:08.519 my disciple on this. It's hard getting people, especially early on, 358 00:25:08.799 --> 00:25:11.640 to interact with the radio show because they're busy, they 359 00:25:11.680 --> 00:25:13.960 just got up, they're doing a shower, many of you 360 00:25:14.000 --> 00:25:17.039 are like, oh, I can't imagine writing an email right now. Dude, 361 00:25:17.440 --> 00:25:19.480 you know I got two years. I got two years. 362 00:25:19.599 --> 00:25:21.839 I speak to a lot of people, you know, on 363 00:25:21.880 --> 00:25:23.799 social media. I don't know. I don't. 364 00:25:24.319 --> 00:25:28.920 I can't name one person who's like yay Tom Tillis 365 00:25:29.519 --> 00:25:33.680 everyone I know, everyone I talk to, the conversations that like, 366 00:25:33.759 --> 00:25:38.519 you know, lunch is yeah, Like I don't understand. 367 00:25:38.440 --> 00:25:44.519 Email's coming in. Yeah, yeah, it's crazy, man, you did 368 00:25:44.599 --> 00:25:48.200 this to me. I'm not this person. Ross, Isn't this person. 369 00:25:50.680 --> 00:25:52.880 Like you say it's it's sort of like I feel like. 370 00:25:54.720 --> 00:25:59.119 It's it's not like stunning and brave because everybody hates them. 371 00:25:59.319 --> 00:26:00.880 No, you know what it is. I gave this a 372 00:26:00.880 --> 00:26:03.079 lot of thought last night. It is you know why? 373 00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:06.400 Because if you think, if you believe as I do, 374 00:26:07.000 --> 00:26:09.960 that he is the level of piece of garbage that 375 00:26:10.079 --> 00:26:12.759 he is, let me explain something to you. Do you 376 00:26:12.759 --> 00:26:14.920 know what? Do you know the first politician I ever 377 00:26:14.960 --> 00:26:18.200 spoke to when I moved to North Carolina, Ross, you 378 00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:19.680 don't even know the story because you were with the 379 00:26:19.720 --> 00:26:24.880 show Tom Tillis. Do you know why I reached out 380 00:26:24.920 --> 00:26:28.519 to him? Because when I first when I first came 381 00:26:28.559 --> 00:26:31.759 here and we launched this radio, these two radio stations. 382 00:26:35.839 --> 00:26:37.880 One of the things that I was trying to do 383 00:26:38.200 --> 00:26:43.480 is secure as a media outlet, our ability to access 384 00:26:43.599 --> 00:26:49.960 the North Carolina Legislature's media section. And North Carolina has 385 00:26:50.039 --> 00:26:55.720 a system, and the system is that media credentials. Some 386 00:26:55.759 --> 00:27:00.240 of you aren't gonna believe me. Media credentials are control 387 00:27:00.839 --> 00:27:03.599 by the collective of the media, and I want you 388 00:27:03.640 --> 00:27:08.279 to think about that. So if we wanted credentialing at 389 00:27:08.279 --> 00:27:12.279 the North Carolina a General Assembly, I had to go 390 00:27:12.400 --> 00:27:17.039 through the Press Association, which at the time was the 391 00:27:17.079 --> 00:27:22.440 president was Laura Leslie, who, by the way, arguably I 392 00:27:22.519 --> 00:27:26.839 have more respect for than Tom Tillis, even though Ril 393 00:27:27.079 --> 00:27:34.079 is a constant focus of this show. But the people 394 00:27:34.240 --> 00:27:38.720 controlling access for up and coming or new media outlets, 395 00:27:38.839 --> 00:27:41.799 i e. Two new radio talk stations, and the Triad 396 00:27:41.839 --> 00:27:46.000 and the Triangle are its competitors. It's a horrible system. 397 00:27:47.039 --> 00:27:51.240 And my first conversation with Laura Leslie was well, you're 398 00:27:51.279 --> 00:27:56.079 not and I'm gonna paraphrase essentially, you're not really a 399 00:27:56.279 --> 00:28:03.559 media outlet. And I was. I was taken about. It 400 00:28:03.599 --> 00:28:08.079 wasn't about seniority and having workspace We had that conversation 401 00:28:08.519 --> 00:28:11.519
