WEBVTT 1 00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:04.839 Up and running this morning. Got some fun audio for you. 2 00:00:05.400 --> 00:00:10.000 I just saw this thing from the View yesterday, and 3 00:00:10.320 --> 00:00:15.119 it speaks volumes in what it doesn't say. There's a 4 00:00:15.759 --> 00:00:20.800 I am you know, I'm looking past, but the words 5 00:00:20.879 --> 00:00:25.239 simply coming out of Sunny Houston's mouth and the demeanor 6 00:00:25.320 --> 00:00:29.399 that I can observe, which doesn't look pleased, but it 7 00:00:29.519 --> 00:00:33.679 speaks to something else that I find pretty interesting, and 8 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:38.640 I wonder if it's going to continue to be a thing. 9 00:00:38.759 --> 00:00:40.240 In fact, let me, let me just go ahead and 10 00:00:40.320 --> 00:00:44.840 do this. So yesterday the hens on the View were 11 00:00:44.840 --> 00:00:51.399 cackling about Matt Gates. Okay, obviously they have a low 12 00:00:51.439 --> 00:00:54.520 opinion of Matt Gates, and you know, they decided we're 13 00:00:54.520 --> 00:00:56.679 going to go with he raped a seventeen year old, 14 00:00:56.759 --> 00:00:59.000 but we're gonna go with it like yeah, it's fact 15 00:00:59.039 --> 00:01:02.600 and not allegation, and not even an allegation that Biden's 16 00:01:02.640 --> 00:01:07.159 own DOJ investigated and chose not to do anything about. 17 00:01:07.840 --> 00:01:11.239 So you know, that's normally when we have a story 18 00:01:11.280 --> 00:01:16.000 where somebody's accused of something, we don't already have an 19 00:01:16.079 --> 00:01:20.359 investigation that's been done, especially not by an organization like 20 00:01:20.439 --> 00:01:25.120 the DOJ, which as as as you've seen is willing 21 00:01:25.159 --> 00:01:29.120 to throw everything if it means sticking it to a 22 00:01:29.159 --> 00:01:32.200 Republican in the in this last time around, right, you 23 00:01:32.239 --> 00:01:35.319 saw everything that they did with Trump Nunya is what 24 00:01:35.719 --> 00:01:39.920 they were willing to do. So when you treat it 25 00:01:39.959 --> 00:01:45.640 as fact, you run into a little bit of liability issue. 26 00:01:46.920 --> 00:01:50.400 And I'd say she danced around the edges. But what 27 00:01:50.439 --> 00:01:53.799 was fascinating is what happened when they came back from commercial. 28 00:01:54.439 --> 00:01:57.359 All right, So here here is what she said. And 29 00:01:57.400 --> 00:02:00.879 then and you'll hear, you'll hear the change. I'll indicate 30 00:02:00.920 --> 00:02:04.239 it to you is what happened after she came back 31 00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:04.959 from commercial. 32 00:02:05.239 --> 00:02:10.400 How could you nominate someone with allegations of child trafficking 33 00:02:10.439 --> 00:02:14.479 across the or trafficking across state lines and having sex 34 00:02:14.520 --> 00:02:16.960 with a seventeen year old my understanding. Further on in 35 00:02:16.960 --> 00:02:19.800 the interview, they discussed the fact that once he finds 36 00:02:19.800 --> 00:02:22.639 out that she's seventeen, he stops having sex with her. 37 00:02:23.360 --> 00:02:26.400 All right, all right, so she doesn't use alleged there, 38 00:02:26.520 --> 00:02:29.199 Like I said, she's dancing around and in the first 39 00:02:29.240 --> 00:02:32.439 line's probably okay because it was accused, But there's also 40 00:02:32.560 --> 00:02:36.000 no indication of the DOJ thing, which is important context. 41 00:02:36.400 --> 00:02:38.479 So if I was saying somebody was alleged to have 42 00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:42.960 done something, and I didn't state like if I said 43 00:02:43.000 --> 00:02:46.560 OJ was alleged to have murdered his wife and her lover, 44 00:02:47.719 --> 00:02:51.439 and even though we all know how that panned out, 45 00:02:51.479 --> 00:02:56.360 I would be giving you incomplete information about that time 46 00:02:56.639 --> 00:03:01.240 he may have or allegedly has had uh murdered his 47 00:03:01.360 --> 00:03:04.560 wife and lover. However, the jury said no. And in fact, 48 00:03:04.680 --> 00:03:09.840 interviews if you want more contexts with jurors subsequently, where 49 00:03:10.400 --> 00:03:12.520 there's one woman in there who claims that she and 50 00:03:12.599 --> 00:03:15.360 others decided they weren't going to convict him because of 51 00:03:15.400 --> 00:03:20.680 the Rodney King stuff. She says it. So you know, 52 00:03:20.759 --> 00:03:23.479 there's all the contexts. You make your own decisions. So anyway, 53 00:03:24.039 --> 00:03:32.240 what happens, clearly ABC is scared if you're if you're ABC, 54 00:03:32.319 --> 00:03:36.199 CBS and NBC and they keep talking about licenses, see 55 00:03:36.199 --> 00:03:38.120 a lot of people. And by the way, and then 56 00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.639 people will go with about Fox. Okay, Fox News or 57 00:03:42.719 --> 00:03:47.639 Fox Network because those are two different things. And once 58 00:03:47.639 --> 00:03:50.240 you get into cable, you're into cable, right that is 59 00:03:50.280 --> 00:03:53.039 not FCC regulated in the same way because it's not 60 00:03:53.120 --> 00:03:56.639 a utilization of the airwaves, the quote unquote public airwaves, 61 00:03:56.919 --> 00:03:59.479 which if you were to try to use without their permission, 62 00:03:59.479 --> 00:04:01.479 you get trouble even as a member of the public. 63 00:04:01.520 --> 00:04:06.319 But that's another story pirate radio people. So with that 64 00:04:06.400 --> 00:04:10.360 in mind, they're not gonna screw around. They have to 65 00:04:10.360 --> 00:04:13.360 be policing these women extra aggressive because I don't think 66 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:17.959 I don't think anybody would have batted an I a 67 00:04:18.000 --> 00:04:21.079 month ago with what you just said. But they come 68 00:04:21.120 --> 00:04:24.439 back from break and you ever made your kid apologize 69 00:04:24.439 --> 00:04:27.839 to your other kid, and it's clear that it's the 70 00:04:27.959 --> 00:04:31.560 exact opposite of an apology through their their body language 71 00:04:31.600 --> 00:04:36.040 and their tone of their voice, where you're like, you're 72 00:04:36.040 --> 00:04:39.519 not sorry, you little little brad. Just don't do it again, 73 00:04:40.000 --> 00:04:43.480 all right, that's what Sonny that is. Sunny hostin from 74 00:04:43.480 --> 00:04:48.519 her naturally cheery self, comes back from commercial like she 75 00:04:48.759 --> 00:04:50.000 just got a death sentence. 76 00:04:50.079 --> 00:04:53.680 Man, I do have a legal No, thank you, Wippy. 77 00:04:54.399 --> 00:04:55.480 You're a sarcasm. 78 00:04:55.639 --> 00:04:59.720 Matt Gates has long denied all allegations, calling the claims 79 00:05:00.079 --> 00:05:03.560 quote invented, and saying in a statement to ABC News 80 00:05:03.600 --> 00:05:06.959 that this false mir following a three year criminal investigation, 81 00:05:07.120 --> 00:05:11.759 should be viewed with great skepticism. That DOJ investigation was 82 00:05:11.800 --> 00:05:14.040 closed with no charges being brought. 83 00:05:14.959 --> 00:05:17.000 We'll be right back. You know what that you know 84 00:05:17.079 --> 00:05:20.319 what that delivery is ross, you'll appreciate this. That's the delivery. 85 00:05:20.360 --> 00:05:23.399 I'll give a spot that a salesperson brings me but 86 00:05:23.519 --> 00:05:26.240 brings back three times because they don't feel the inflection 87 00:05:26.399 --> 00:05:28.959 is correct or I didn't get all the words in 88 00:05:29.040 --> 00:05:31.480 even though they gave me forty five second copy for thirty. 89 00:05:31.800 --> 00:05:34.360 That is the sarcastic way in which I would read 90 00:05:34.480 --> 00:05:37.839 spot copy by somebody who was attempting to micromanage me. 91 00:05:38.079 --> 00:05:39.680 It wouldn't be what I'd put on the air, but 92 00:05:39.720 --> 00:05:41.519 i'd do it to let them know that they need 93 00:05:41.519 --> 00:05:42.199 to leave me alone. 94 00:05:42.519 --> 00:05:44.319 To be fair, The read wasn't bad, but it's the 95 00:05:44.319 --> 00:05:45.120 look on her face. 96 00:05:45.480 --> 00:05:48.720 Yeah, yeah, it's the whole package, right, And that's why 97 00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:51.560 I use that example of like, you know, when me 98 00:05:51.639 --> 00:05:54.160 and my brothers or my brother, my sisters or whatever 99 00:05:54.160 --> 00:05:56.000 were hitting each other in the car, my mom's like, Scott, 100 00:05:56.040 --> 00:05:58.399 you apologized to her. That's the way I would do 101 00:05:58.439 --> 00:06:00.560 it if I didn't really mean I was sorry, which 102 00:06:00.560 --> 00:06:03.160 I didn't because she started it. But that's another story 103 00:06:03.160 --> 00:06:09.240 for another day. Yeah, yeah, so I feel like the 104 00:06:09.279 --> 00:06:15.480 powers that be at these networks realize they got to 105 00:06:15.519 --> 00:06:18.560 clean up some stuff, and they would tell you they're 106 00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:21.480 doing it because this monster is threatening to how you know, 107 00:06:21.720 --> 00:06:23.879 they're gonna lose other jobs and all that, and it's like, well, 108 00:06:25.399 --> 00:06:31.800 are you violating the rules surrounding your licensing? See, that's 109 00:06:31.839 --> 00:06:35.480 the question. There? Are you? In fact? If I start 110 00:06:35.480 --> 00:06:38.680 screaming the F bomb right now, I'm pretty sure I 111 00:06:38.680 --> 00:06:42.120 get in trouble if Ross doesn't hit the button. And 112 00:06:42.160 --> 00:06:44.319 then if Ross doesn't hit the button, Ross gets in 113 00:06:44.360 --> 00:06:50.519 trouble if he's provably, I guess in the room. Are 114 00:06:50.519 --> 00:06:51.839 you in the room, dude in the room? 115 00:06:51.920 --> 00:06:54.800 Yeah, no, I'm here. Okay, let me know now listen, 116 00:06:54.959 --> 00:06:57.399 I can't tell you the button will work, but I'll 117 00:06:57.399 --> 00:06:58.079 push the button. 118 00:06:58.160 --> 00:07:00.800 Well, then engineering gets in trouble. No, no, no, no, 119 00:07:00.839 --> 00:07:03.720 this is this is legitimately how this works. We had 120 00:07:03.720 --> 00:07:06.439 an incident in another station where somebody did use a 121 00:07:08.759 --> 00:07:14.319 swear word and the button didn't work and everybody got 122 00:07:14.319 --> 00:07:14.800 in trouble. 123 00:07:15.040 --> 00:07:16.720 Well, I mean, for far too long, these people have 124 00:07:16.759 --> 00:07:18.839 been able to call people hitler, racist, and every other 125 00:07:18.920 --> 00:07:21.319 nasty thing and get in out with it. And you 126 00:07:21.399 --> 00:07:23.199 need to start suing these people so they stop it, 127 00:07:23.199 --> 00:07:24.839 because they've been using that as a weapon for far 128 00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:25.279 too long. 129 00:07:25.680 --> 00:07:29.759 And the networks realize this. They realized that while they 130 00:07:30.319 --> 00:07:34.279 that the liability that they have for doing a lot 131 00:07:34.319 --> 00:07:36.040 of it, it doesn't mean they're going to stop lying 132 00:07:36.040 --> 00:07:40.600 about them. You look at the news stories, CBS is 133 00:07:40.680 --> 00:07:44.639 basically leading the charge on the on the Defense Secretary's 134 00:07:44.680 --> 00:07:50.120 nomination eg Seth, right, or they he's also a violent rapist. 135 00:07:50.160 --> 00:07:52.680 Everyone Trump nominated as a violent rapist. See, we have 136 00:07:52.759 --> 00:07:59.959 this accusation made during the met too, which was settled 137 00:08:00.079 --> 00:08:04.000 for literally pennies because according to Hegseth and his lawyer, 138 00:08:04.040 --> 00:08:06.439 and I think his lawyer's probably right, they were out 139 00:08:06.480 --> 00:08:09.800 for blood, especially somebody at Fox News in that window 140 00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:12.839 of time. And isn't it convenient that this allegation emerges 141 00:08:12.959 --> 00:08:16.199 years and years later at that exact moment and then 142 00:08:16.279 --> 00:08:20.000 immediately she takes a very small payoff and signs an 143 00:08:20.040 --> 00:08:26.120 NDA which now has been broken. I don't know. I 144 00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:31.519 don't know, but there's a lot of things there that 145 00:08:32.000 --> 00:08:34.600 may but CBS is basically reporting it like he did it, 146 00:08:36.159 --> 00:08:38.320 So I don't know that it impacts at all, but 147 00:08:38.759 --> 00:08:44.080 whoever's standing by, whoever standing by from legal or what's 148 00:08:44.120 --> 00:08:47.960 the broadcast standards or whatever they generally, I don't know 149 00:08:48.000 --> 00:08:51.240 what they call them all the networks, but standards and 150 00:08:51.279 --> 00:08:55.440 practices would be what most of them call it. They're 151 00:08:55.480 --> 00:08:59.000 standing there, they're watching this, and they realize that if 152 00:08:59.080 --> 00:09:02.799 they don't call things that are potentially libelous, then maybe 153 00:09:02.799 --> 00:09:06.039 they get in trouble. They're not doing their job, whereas 154 00:09:06.039 --> 00:09:08.480 before I don't think they showed up for work ever 155 00:09:08.559 --> 00:09:11.240 with the stuff that they would spew. As Ross pointed out, 156 00:09:12.639 --> 00:09:14.919 But how can you work in standards and practices? And 157 00:09:14.960 --> 00:09:19.039 you got a bunch of Banshee's screaming hitler every five seconds. 158 00:09:20.399 --> 00:09:24.080 So the conversation that was had with her too, based 159 00:09:24.120 --> 00:09:26.159 on the look on her face, do you think that 160 00:09:26.240 --> 00:09:29.039 conversation a commercial went well with whoever ran out and 161 00:09:29.080 --> 00:09:31.879 gave her the statement, I bet she's mad as hell. 162 00:09:32.000 --> 00:09:35.000 She had to read that, and I'm okay with that. 163 00:09:35.759 --> 00:09:40.559 All right, six sixteen CaCO Day Radio program. We'll talk obviously, 164 00:09:40.639 --> 00:09:46.039 a little about the hearings. Hearings yesterday both in North 165 00:09:46.039 --> 00:09:51.960 Carolina and at the federal level. Turns out FEMA, if 166 00:09:52.000 --> 00:09:56.440 FEMA did everything fine, everything's fine, it's great, dad. They 167 00:09:56.480 --> 00:10:00.879 had the one employ a rogue employee. Rogue employee could 168 00:10:00.960 --> 00:10:04.679 happen to anybody. Everything else is fine. 169 00:10:04.919 --> 00:10:05.159 Yeah. 170 00:10:05.240 --> 00:10:07.799 They admit that they didn't have they don't have drinking 171 00:10:07.960 --> 00:10:10.440 water and a lot of places in North Carolina that 172 00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:19.960 is acceptable. Yeah. Oh, and they also didn't go into 173 00:10:20.320 --> 00:10:23.000 parts of North Carolina until a week after the storm. 174 00:10:23.639 --> 00:10:26.360 They didn't mention that, in fact, the whole counties were ignored. 175 00:10:27.600 --> 00:10:35.120 But everything's you know, whose fault it is, Congress, Congress's fault. Yeah. Oh. 176 00:10:35.159 --> 00:10:37.159 They also admit that the amount of money that they 177 00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:43.320 actually had allocated was twenty three billion, but they owed 178 00:10:43.480 --> 00:10:46.360 seven billion on other stuff or eight billion on other stuff, 179 00:10:46.360 --> 00:10:49.600 so that number got knocked down until like thirteen, so 180 00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:51.600 I guess maybe it was ten, maybe it was twenty one, 181 00:10:51.639 --> 00:10:53.919 and then knockdown two. I don't have it right in 182 00:10:53.960 --> 00:10:58.480 front of me. And then they also point out that, yeah, yeah, 183 00:10:58.519 --> 00:11:01.639 they did spend a billion dollars of it on housing 184 00:11:01.720 --> 00:11:06.000 illegal immigrants one billion. But you know, the rest they 185 00:11:06.000 --> 00:11:07.879 got the route, but they haven't really handed that out, 186 00:11:07.879 --> 00:11:13.519 but it's there. They've denied half the claims in North Carolina. 187 00:11:16.159 --> 00:11:20.600 I don't know the details and circumstances, and there's just 188 00:11:20.639 --> 00:11:24.440 a lot of stuff going on and people are on edge. Man. 189 00:11:26.080 --> 00:11:29.320 There's apparently an insurance guy out there, and I don't 190 00:11:29.320 --> 00:11:33.960 really know much about him. If he's the age, I 191 00:11:34.000 --> 00:11:37.279 think he's an agent and not an adjuster. But he's 192 00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.480 driving around in a cyber truck, and people are getting 193 00:11:41.559 --> 00:11:43.320 very resentful over that. I mean, I don't have beef 194 00:11:43.320 --> 00:11:45.399 the guy wants to have a cyber truck. But when 195 00:11:45.399 --> 00:11:47.840 you're running around in a six figure truck telling storm 196 00:11:47.919 --> 00:11:51.960 victims that, oh no, that wasn't flawed or that was 197 00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:54.720 you know, and then making up some different version of 198 00:11:54.720 --> 00:11:58.519 what it is, even if you're one hundred percent accurate, 199 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:01.399 they see their home is flood and you show up 200 00:12:01.399 --> 00:12:05.840 in a six figure truck. You're messing with people. Man. 201 00:12:07.279 --> 00:12:10.039 But I don't know the answer for that. The answer 202 00:12:10.080 --> 00:12:12.200 for that is, actually I do know the answer. The 203 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:16.559 answer is the system works efficiently and in the ways 204 00:12:16.639 --> 00:12:21.240 that people expected to work. And for a hearing where 205 00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:24.639 the reporting is you know, chiswell laid to rest concerns, 206 00:12:24.679 --> 00:12:26.759 which is an actual line from this story. You know, 207 00:12:26.840 --> 00:12:31.120 she didn't she did none of those things she highlighted 208 00:12:31.159 --> 00:12:32.960 a lot of the concerns that people are bringing up, 209 00:12:32.960 --> 00:12:35.360 and then spent the rest of the time accusing the 210 00:12:35.480 --> 00:12:39.000 rhetoric of almost getting her employees killed. That was one dude, 211 00:12:39.279 --> 00:12:41.519 and you all made it sound like an entire militia 212 00:12:41.600 --> 00:12:44.720 was out there. That was one dude. There is I'm 213 00:12:44.720 --> 00:12:47.200 going to tell you right now, there are crazy people 214 00:12:47.240 --> 00:12:52.000 in western North Carolina. I've regaled you with the story 215 00:12:52.039 --> 00:12:55.840 of the giant hobo in Asheville that literally had a 216 00:12:55.879 --> 00:12:59.080 face off with me and I'm in a car and 217 00:12:59.120 --> 00:13:04.919 then flicks cigarette and stuff. That guy's a lunatic, okay, 218 00:13:05.639 --> 00:13:08.879 But the majority of people, if you showed up with 219 00:13:08.960 --> 00:13:13.559 a clipboard and a check, they're going to offer you tea, Okay, 220 00:13:13.600 --> 00:13:16.960 Like this is what's so dumb about this. They're they're 221 00:13:17.240 --> 00:13:19.720 and it's gonna be the last tea that they have. 222 00:13:23.200 --> 00:13:29.200 That is what ninety nine point nine percent of you 223 00:13:29.279 --> 00:13:33.679 know why? Because most North Carolinians are nice people. Most 224 00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:38.559 people most places, the majority are nice people in the 225 00:13:38.600 --> 00:13:40.759 sense that they're not going to physically harm you. They 226 00:13:40.799 --> 00:13:42.840 may be kind of a holes, or they may be 227 00:13:42.919 --> 00:13:45.519 really stressed out because their home just you know, went 228 00:13:45.600 --> 00:13:49.320 down the river, but they want to deal with you. 229 00:13:49.399 --> 00:13:51.919 The people living in tent still in Swanna Knowah, they'd 230 00:13:51.960 --> 00:13:56.480 love to see your face. They'd love to stop getting 231 00:13:56.559 --> 00:14:00.600 jerked around with the you know, the federal response, because 232 00:14:00.720 --> 00:14:04.039 one is private insurance, the other one is FEMA claims. 233 00:14:04.399 --> 00:14:06.840 I don't know the percentage of private insurance being denied, 234 00:14:06.840 --> 00:14:08.799 but how the hell are FEMA claims being denied at 235 00:14:08.799 --> 00:14:13.759 fifty percent? Is there massive fraud where people, you know, 236 00:14:13.840 --> 00:14:16.000 some guy at the beach is like, oh, yeah, Helen 237 00:14:16.120 --> 00:14:22.799 really messed up my roof down here at topsail. Well 238 00:14:22.799 --> 00:14:26.679 that's fraud. Then maybe you should charge people with fraud. 239 00:14:27.159 --> 00:14:29.639 I refuse to believe that half of the cases coming 240 00:14:29.679 --> 00:14:32.639 to you are not people who were damaged by Helene. 241 00:14:33.440 --> 00:14:36.960 Because one, they have to be in a certain geographic area. 242 00:14:39.440 --> 00:14:42.799 That's why they declare county by county disaster. And then 243 00:14:42.799 --> 00:14:47.000 sometimes they can do smaller slices. But now it's the 244 00:14:47.080 --> 00:14:52.879 whole thing was absurd and showed big problems even if 245 00:14:52.919 --> 00:14:55.639 she's managing under the rules there maybe the rules are 246 00:14:56.080 --> 00:15:00.919 inaccurate to deal with something spread out over such a 247 00:15:01.120 --> 00:15:04.639 large geographic area, and you can say that you can 248 00:15:04.679 --> 00:15:09.279 say this storm because of the footprint of eight hundred 249 00:15:09.440 --> 00:15:14.519 miles is really stretching the way that FEMA does things 250 00:15:14.559 --> 00:15:17.679 were used to much smaller foot that would be perfectly legitimate. 251 00:15:17.759 --> 00:15:22.879 Nobody would blame you, even quote unquote Republicans you don't 252 00:15:22.919 --> 00:15:27.519 want to spend another dollar would understand if they were smart, 253 00:15:28.720 --> 00:15:30.679 if they wanted to get reelected and didn't want me 254 00:15:30.720 --> 00:15:32.919 screaming about him on this radio show. As little a 255 00:15:32.960 --> 00:15:35.000 threat as that is, others would do it too, and 256 00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:41.799 then it echoes and compounds. They would say, you need 257 00:15:41.799 --> 00:15:43.679 some more money over there. But the only time you 258 00:15:43.759 --> 00:15:46.559 decided you needed more money over there in recent history, 259 00:15:46.679 --> 00:15:51.200 so you could spend a billion dollars housing illegal immigrants 260 00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:57.720 and you got that done. So anyway, so we'll talk 261 00:15:57.720 --> 00:16:00.759 about a little more about that, and then what happened 262 00:16:00.759 --> 00:16:05.840 here in North Carolina. I don't GOP, did what political 263 00:16:05.879 --> 00:16:08.919 parties do and jam some other stuff. And the relief bill, 264 00:16:09.279 --> 00:16:11.200 although it seems to be a very small, you know, 265 00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:13.360 it's not a dollar thing. I'll give you the details 266 00:16:13.360 --> 00:16:16.200 of much more coming up k c O Day radio program. 267 00:16:16.279 --> 00:16:18.559 I'm not gonna slice and dice it for you with 268 00:16:18.639 --> 00:16:20.440 a bunch of audio and all the rest of it, 269 00:16:21.279 --> 00:16:23.759 because I can I can give you the facts, okay, 270 00:16:25.240 --> 00:16:29.519 and the facts are pretty simple. BEMA does claims that 271 00:16:29.559 --> 00:16:33.039 the whistle blower, she's making that part up, that is 272 00:16:33.159 --> 00:16:36.720 some sort of standard practice. She did submit that she 273 00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:43.440 would request a review by I'm assuming an IG Inspector General, 274 00:16:44.320 --> 00:16:47.639 and which I mean, does she have to request it? 275 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:49.799 I don't know what Congress does it, but they but whatever, 276 00:16:50.399 --> 00:16:55.720 so they're they'll go ahead and look into it. I 277 00:16:56.080 --> 00:17:00.000 wonder if I don't know who the inspector general is, 278 00:17:01.679 --> 00:17:05.720 but we have seen some IG reports that have smacked 279 00:17:05.759 --> 00:17:10.400 of politicism in anything surrounding Trump or anything that would 280 00:17:10.440 --> 00:17:13.079 be positive for Trump. Look, I don't think it's positive 281 00:17:13.119 --> 00:17:17.720 to find out that FEMA has, even if it's an 282 00:17:17.880 --> 00:17:22.440 unspoken culture, but everyone knows what's up where they are 283 00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:25.480 making decisions like that, and it bleeds off on workers 284 00:17:25.519 --> 00:17:27.160 down the food chain. You know a lot of times 285 00:17:27.200 --> 00:17:32.039 it's just attitude for management. It wouldn't be a good 286 00:17:32.079 --> 00:17:35.079 thing to find out that that's a thing. But everything 287 00:17:35.160 --> 00:17:38.640 in me, based on how you've watched this play out, 288 00:17:38.720 --> 00:17:43.359 tells me that something's going on there. I mean, sure, 289 00:17:43.359 --> 00:17:46.319 are they operating as efficiently as they should know? Are 290 00:17:46.359 --> 00:17:50.160 they a government agency? Yes? So I like, I'm even 291 00:17:50.200 --> 00:17:53.960 carving out a little window for ineptitude or don't you know, 292 00:17:54.079 --> 00:18:00.799 don't give a you know what that being said, You 293 00:18:00.839 --> 00:18:04.519 can look at North Carolina. You can watch the videos 294 00:18:04.559 --> 00:18:07.079 of people people who are claimed to be inciting violence 295 00:18:07.160 --> 00:18:10.160 yesterday by doing things like posting, Hey, look at all 296 00:18:10.160 --> 00:18:13.759 the tents we all still live in eight weeks after 297 00:18:13.799 --> 00:18:20.799 the storm. I understand that that guy who's causing you problems, 298 00:18:21.599 --> 00:18:24.319 So what do you want him to do? To sit 299 00:18:24.359 --> 00:18:27.000 in his tent and shut up? Well, that's a problem, 300 00:18:27.680 --> 00:18:32.359 so let's get into it. And remember they carried the 301 00:18:32.400 --> 00:18:35.880 water in making it sound like the one dude who 302 00:18:36.000 --> 00:18:43.480 was arrested was the whole damn Montana militia. Man, So 303 00:18:44.119 --> 00:18:47.720 you already took this thing where it's we recognize the 304 00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:50.920 thing is wrong, and I go ahead and arrest that 305 00:18:50.960 --> 00:18:53.079 do you guys go to threaten people up there, even 306 00:18:53.119 --> 00:18:54.400 if you don't think they're doing a good job. You 307 00:18:54.440 --> 00:18:58.839 don't get to threadn them. But when you then decided 308 00:18:58.880 --> 00:19:01.279 to do the thing that you do that has strained 309 00:19:01.319 --> 00:19:04.880 credibility for your industry and puffed this thing up like 310 00:19:04.920 --> 00:19:12.400 it's some sort of some sort of you know, active 311 00:19:12.599 --> 00:19:15.880 threat of like the Civil War or something. I mean, 312 00:19:16.039 --> 00:19:22.640 just the people stop caring. Why would you lie? Why 313 00:19:22.640 --> 00:19:25.200 would you lie about that? And then you realize the 314 00:19:25.240 --> 00:19:27.799 reason you lie about that is because it gives you 315 00:19:27.839 --> 00:19:34.839 an excuse because your work's being done so poorly. Meanwhile, 316 00:19:34.880 --> 00:19:38.200 closer to home, our own governor decided he was going 317 00:19:38.279 --> 00:19:43.079 to conflate one of the issues that the North Carolina 318 00:19:43.160 --> 00:19:46.559 Legislature was working on, and this had to do with 319 00:19:47.039 --> 00:19:50.799 the ability of people to access funds so that they 320 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:54.839 can choose where their kid goes to school. Right, and 321 00:19:54.880 --> 00:19:57.400 you know he hates it because he's bought and paid 322 00:19:57.400 --> 00:20:00.400 for by the teachers' union, so he he's not a 323 00:20:00.440 --> 00:20:04.119 fan of it. It's not an objection to private schools. 324 00:20:04.160 --> 00:20:06.160 We know this because that's where he sent his kid. 325 00:20:07.119 --> 00:20:10.799 His daughter went through private school, so obviously he doesn't 326 00:20:10.799 --> 00:20:13.880 have a problem with private schools. He's got a problem 327 00:20:13.880 --> 00:20:16.799 with what his donors have a problem with, which I understand. 328 00:20:17.319 --> 00:20:20.119 But the sheer scum baggery, I believe, is the word 329 00:20:20.160 --> 00:20:27.079 that I used yesterday to sit here, and especially as 330 00:20:27.119 --> 00:20:31.920 you have been silent on any issues. Unless I'm wrong, 331 00:20:31.960 --> 00:20:34.400 unless somebody can bring me a Roy Cooper cut where 332 00:20:34.440 --> 00:20:37.559 he is very critical of things that are obviously not 333 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:41.599 being done correctly or at all in some instance, or 334 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.480 anything about this whole FEMA thing. I don't think he's 335 00:20:44.480 --> 00:20:49.920 spoken a word about it. I don't think he said 336 00:20:49.960 --> 00:20:58.319 a damn thing about it. Let's see here it is 337 00:20:58.680 --> 00:21:00.839 two tweets he sent out. Yes, I just lost my 338 00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:08.319 crap reading these things. Here we go, all right. This 339 00:21:08.359 --> 00:21:15.079 is from the official Governor's account Official Governor's count account. Yesterday, 340 00:21:15.160 --> 00:21:18.720 Governor Cooper sent a letter to legislators urging them to 341 00:21:18.799 --> 00:21:22.519 invest in storm recovery instead of spending hundreds of millions 342 00:21:22.559 --> 00:21:26.119 on private school vouchers for the wealthy. Shut your face. 343 00:21:29.200 --> 00:21:31.519 You know that we fund more than one thing at 344 00:21:31.559 --> 00:21:35.440 a time. Right. You also know no help from you 345 00:21:35.519 --> 00:21:39.440 during your time in the legislature. You also know that 346 00:21:39.559 --> 00:21:44.480 North Carolina, because of good fiscal management, has money. It's 347 00:21:44.519 --> 00:21:47.359 called a rainy day fund. I don't know if you're 348 00:21:47.400 --> 00:21:51.039 aware of this called a rainy day fund. Ross would 349 00:21:51.079 --> 00:21:55.440 you say Helene qualifies as a rainy day event if 350 00:21:55.519 --> 00:21:58.079 you were I know you're not the governor, but if 351 00:21:58.119 --> 00:22:00.359 you were, just to go, ah, is this should the 352 00:22:00.440 --> 00:22:04.759 rainy day fund be used for Hurricane Helene Victims. 353 00:22:05.319 --> 00:22:09.400 I mean, if I had to go yeah, yes, probably yes, yeah, yeah, 354 00:22:09.440 --> 00:22:11.119 I mean that'd probably be the definition of it. 355 00:22:11.200 --> 00:22:16.519 Yes, yeah, we have this. So what you've taken is 356 00:22:16.559 --> 00:22:19.960 you've taken an issue that I understand is political, right, 357 00:22:20.039 --> 00:22:22.640 and in school vouchers. Right. We've watched the fight, we've 358 00:22:22.640 --> 00:22:27.599 watched the lawsuits, all of that. You lost. You lost, Okay, 359 00:22:29.640 --> 00:22:32.119 if I had a loser buzzer, I'm sure I do 360 00:22:32.119 --> 00:22:34.359 in the systems. If i'd a loser buzzer, I'd hit 361 00:22:34.400 --> 00:22:37.839 it for you. And uh, you lost, and that'll work. 362 00:22:40.000 --> 00:22:44.799 And you lost because people think you and your policies, 363 00:22:45.319 --> 00:22:48.119 even though they've elected you to governor, the policies that 364 00:22:48.200 --> 00:22:50.319 the left wants to put through that you're able to 365 00:22:50.359 --> 00:22:54.160 kind of keep at arms distance, were rejected by people, 366 00:22:54.480 --> 00:22:57.400 and they were rejected by some of your traditional voters. 367 00:22:57.960 --> 00:23:02.559 The sheer volume of black women that were at one 368 00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:08.119 of those school choice events but from Durham, I think 369 00:23:08.119 --> 00:23:13.240 it was a group from Durham. Do you think those 370 00:23:13.279 --> 00:23:17.519 are faithful year after year GOP voters. I mean, I'm speculating, 371 00:23:17.559 --> 00:23:19.920 but I know the breakdown of Durham, and I understand 372 00:23:19.960 --> 00:23:23.079 the parameters of breakdown by race, socioeconomic, all of that. 373 00:23:23.160 --> 00:23:26.079 We can look this up. There is more. There is 374 00:23:26.119 --> 00:23:30.039 a better chance that the majority of those women likely 375 00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:36.119 are Democrat voters or maybe don't vote then you know, 376 00:23:36.720 --> 00:23:39.440 died in the wold GOP voters. But they're not voting 377 00:23:39.480 --> 00:23:44.240 for that anymore. They're voting for their kids. The number 378 00:23:44.279 --> 00:23:48.000 of silent Trump voters that they speculate were created over 379 00:23:48.160 --> 00:23:52.559 the women's sports stuff and the will take your kid 380 00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:56.759 away if they say that they are you know, are 381 00:23:56.839 --> 00:24:01.480 are non binary or wanted to transition, and if you 382 00:24:01.519 --> 00:24:04.480 don't immediately snap two and state's passing laws like that 383 00:24:04.640 --> 00:24:05.880 or they just come in and snatch your can. You're 384 00:24:05.880 --> 00:24:09.440 messing with people's kids. Man. They may even they may 385 00:24:09.480 --> 00:24:11.640 even be of the opinion that if their if their 386 00:24:11.759 --> 00:24:14.799 child did want to transition, that they would do it, 387 00:24:16.720 --> 00:24:20.039 because that's a personal decision they're making. But you tell 388 00:24:20.039 --> 00:24:22.920 people are going to force your hand, you create other voters. Man, 389 00:24:23.400 --> 00:24:26.359 So you lost on this issue. How dare you tie 390 00:24:26.359 --> 00:24:32.759 this to hurricane victim relief? How dare you conflate the two? Now? 391 00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.079 The GOP putting things in that bill, why are you 392 00:24:37.160 --> 00:24:45.440 doing that? Putting uh moving stuff like who has oversight 393 00:24:45.480 --> 00:24:47.759 over it. Why are you sticking into that bill? Stick 394 00:24:47.799 --> 00:24:51.079 it over in the school choice bill or whatever. Don't 395 00:24:51.119 --> 00:24:54.519 do that. The difference is the GOP. If they had 396 00:24:54.519 --> 00:24:57.279 a standalone bill for that other thing, they'd probably they'd 397 00:24:57.279 --> 00:25:02.279 probably be able to pass it and override your veto. Now, 398 00:25:02.319 --> 00:25:04.039 they didn't stick it in the school choice bill. I 399 00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:06.200 just want to be clear here. They stuck it into 400 00:25:06.400 --> 00:25:12.880 the hurricane funding stuff. What are you doing? But again, 401 00:25:13.119 --> 00:25:15.039
