Speaker 1: Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, happy holidays. Hope you had a
great weekend. I'm not Pete Calender. I'm Tony Marino in
for Pete the next couple of days while Pete hopefully
enjoys his well deserved vacation. It's always kind of tricky
when you fill in for somebody you know, you don't
want to disrupt the apple cart too much, kind of
stick to the format. Pete, of course, talks a lot
of politics. We'll be talking politics. I am thrilled to
be here. This is truly, truly a very special radio
station staff with some of the most talented and dedicated
people in the industry. I also love the Queen City.
I love Charlotte even with all that's been going on
there in Charlotte. I do love it. I'm not just
saying that because I'm filling in today. But as many
of you know, you may know or may not know,
I had the privilege of being the morning news anchor
here with Bo and Beth and Zochi and Pam a
few years back. I was actually here when it was
just Bo and then Beth came on board. Not only
is it a great live and local morning show, but
this is probably one of the only radio stations, or
very very few radio stations left in the country that
is actually live and local all day. So you may
not realize how fortunate you are as a radio listener
to have this radio station. Nationally syndicated shows fill up
the airwaves everywhere. If you travel around the country, you
listen to news talk stations other markets, you hear a
lot of the same stuff. You don't hear that here
at WBT. All Right, three days now, if you can
believe it or not, we are three days away from Christmas.
How insane is that. I know we say the same
thing every single year, right, but this year, I don't
know if it's just me. This year was like the
fastest run up to Christmas ever, Right, I mean every years,
the same thing. You're in Costco or Sam's or Walmart wherever,
late September, maybe maybe sober they got the Christmas stuff
out already. This is ridiculous, right, You put pictures on
social media x, Instagram, whatever, and then all of a sudden,
it's like Thanksgiving and you're like, oh, Thanksgiving already, Christmas
will be here in a month, plenty of time. And
then somehow it's the same thing every single year. Somehow
it's all of a sudden, a couple of days away
from Christmas and you're freaking out. But this year, like
I said, it just seemed to fly by faster than anything.
I spoke with WBT program director Mike Schaeffer a few
weeks ago about filling in, and I'm like, oh, I've
got plenty of time to get this all figured out, right,
get some guests, what not, and then boom, next thing
you know, it's here. A huge win by the Panthers,
as Zokie reported, as I just mentioned yesterday, moving in
the first place in the division after beating Baker Mayfield
and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. I live in Orlando, Florida.
I am broadcasting remotely, so you will have to be
patient with me and producer Nick. There's a lot that
goes into this, and we hope it all works out.
But I live right in the middle of all three
Florida NFL teams, all right, So I'm in Orlando. Got
the Dolphins to the south, the Bucks to the west,
the Jaguars to the north. Sadly, I am a lifelong
Miami Dolphins fan. I also lived in South Florida for
a while. Pam Warner and I, in fact even worked
at the same place in Miami before we work together
at WBT. But as a lifelong Miami Dolphin fan, I
don't have room to criticize or say anything about any
team or any player. However, the Panthers started out almost
as bad as the Dolphins, and now they could very
well win the division. All right. President Trump is home
in Palm Beach after visiting Rocky Mount, North Carolina back
on Friday. We are going to talk about that, the
Epstein files Venezuela. We'll get into all of it over
the course of the next few hours. We have plenty
of time, plenty of ground to cover. I'm curious, though,
are there more Bryce Young fans in Charlotte now that
he's playing better, or are there all of a sudden
more Drake mayfans, or you know, New England Patriot fans
wearing Drake May jerseys because they're Drake mayfans since he's
from here and taking the NFL by storm. My gosh.
I mean, we knew he was going to be good,
right but did anyone imagine him having the kind of
success that he's having right now? And there was no
Powerball winner. If you've been paying attention to that, I
don't know if you're following this or not. Even if
I won, I'd probably still be here just to talk
about the fact that I won and all the great
things I would do with the money. Tonight's jackpot now
more than one point six billion, one point six billion dollars.
I know Pete sometimes takes phone calls, of course, and
sometimes he doesn't. But your participation in the show the
next couple of days is going to be crucial. I
want to take a lot of phone calls over the
next couple of days. Always love to talk to the people.
Hear from the people, get your opinion on what's happening
in the news, of course, nationally locally seven oh four
five seven oh one oh seven nine, seven four five
seven oh one oh seven nine. If you don't already
have that in your phone, put it in your phone now.
Seven oh four, five seven oh one oh seven nine.
What would you possibly do with hundreds of millions of dollars?
Even after the taxes, the lump sum payment, you take
the lump sum payment and like forty percent taxes, you're
still going to have hundreds of millions of dollars. One
of the many things I would do is make a
massive donation of contribution to Samaritan's Purse. What an unbelievable organization.
And then I would be on the phone with Rick
Hendrick probably getting me a new Corvette Z six, or
maybe buying a whole dealership, give my friends and family jobs.
I mean, that's what you would do, right, Excuse me,
hopefully that's what you would do, right. You would help
friends and family. You want to do the right thing.
I hate to admit it, but I really didn't know
that much about Samaritan's Purse until I worked here at WBT,
and it started with the Ukraine War, which we'll get
into a little bit but I was actually anchoring the
morning news the day that Russia invaded Ukraine, and we
broke the news about the Russian invasion of Ukraine, and
we followed the war very very closely every day from
that point. Brett Jensen, who I'll be filling in for
next week, Brett Jensen. And you probably know this if
you're a regular listener or a longtime listener. But he
had a good friend that lived in Ukraine, young lady
that was calling in every day giving us updates. If
you listen to my podcast, you know, I think Putin
is not really interested in making a deal. Brandon talked
about more strikes in Ukraine over the weekend as the
war continues. But everything that Trump says, everything that Marco
Rubio says, I really don't think Putin. I mean, he's
essentially jerking our chain. I think I've said this before
many times. He's essentially jerking the whole world's chain, because
I really don't think he has any interest in making
a deal. He only wants to make a deal if
he's going to get to keep some of Ukraine's land,
which is not going to happen. I don't think so.
Although they keep saying. They said it again over the weekend.
We're getting really close. We're getting really close to having
a deal. I honestly don't think we're that close to
having a deal because I don't think that Putin is
interested in a deal. But getting back to Samaritan's Purse,
it started with the Russia Ukraine War. Then it was
the hurricanes. Then it was Hurricane Helene in western North Carolina,
then Gaza, etc. Etc. Just last month the hurricane in Jamaica.
Who's there, Samarnan's Purse. That's an organization. I'd give a
lot of money too, if I had a lot of money.

Speaker 1: As I mentioned going into the break, a lot happened
over the weekend. As usual, The weekend kicked off with
President Trump over in Rocky Mountain, North Carolina, right Friday night,
talking about the economy, talking about what he's done to
help the tar Heel State, talking about farmers. This was
all after the big announcement of the massive cuts in
pharmaceutical costs. If you go to WBT dot com, you'll
see a story there about the tar Hill State's biggest
I guess you would call it the you know industry
or revenue generator, is actually pharmaceuticals. But President Trump talking
about the announcement coming out on Friday. Of course, the
whole thing was really a rally for former RNC chair
and Senate candidate Michael Watley, who we are going to
talk to a little bit later in the show. And
as I mentioned Trump, Yeah, he talked pretty much about
everything like he always does, right, pretty much everything that
he talked about on Wednesday night he talked about again
on Friday night here in North Carolina. And then the
lamestream media is like, oh, he just says the same
stuff all the time. You know what did Trump talk about?
Talked about the same thing he talks about all the time.
He's telling the same lies. Well, he talks about the
same thing all the time because not everybody, you know,
pays us close attention to it as the media does, right.
I mean, you may watch Fox News, you may watch
news Max, you may watch ABC. That's all you're going
to see and depending upon which network you're watching, you're
only going to see a part of it. So if
you do, you if you are close to the news cycle,
I mean, if you're a newshound and you're close to
the news cycle, you know you're going to hear a
lot of the same stuff over and over, like you
may do on certain radio shows because not everybody is
listening all the time, and he's not getting enough credit
for the stuff that he's doing, so he needs to
keep talking about it. Like the address on Wednesday night,
Why is he so angry? You know, if he was
nice and mellow, then they would say, oh, Trump was
really tired. You know, he gave that address to the
nation and his voice he was slow and tired. And
then he comes out on fire because he's excited about
everything that's happening, and it's like, why is he so angry?
Why is he yelling at us? And I did see
a video clip of a guy protesting at that event
in Rocky Mount. It was from one of the one
of the local TV news stations, I think out of Raleigh,
but it's probably all over social media, you know. Of course,
there were some protesters, and there was a guy at
the event that was protesting in support of the Venezuelan
drug smugglers being killed. And I'm not kidding. He literally said,
I'm here in support of the Venezuelans that President Trump
is killing. He's violating there on the boats, you know,
on the Venezuelans that President Trump is killing on the boats.
He's violating their human rights. I mean, these are the
same people that are protesting ICE or just making it
difficult for ICE agents to do their jobs while illegal
aliens continue committing crimes. Did you see last week the
illegal Haitian immigrants in Massachusetts arrested for stealing seven million dollars,
which you know, that's like nothing, That's like twenty bucks
to me and you. Benny Trump on Friday night and
on Wednesday night, of course, talked about all the fraud
in Minnesota and Representative il han Omar and all that,
But these Haitian illegals in Massachusetts set up fake retail locations.
This was pretty sophisticated. They set up fake retail locations
to run the EBT cards, the snap cards and steal
all the money million, seven million. I mean, that's just
one small example of things that are going on all
over the country. And yes, there are legal Americans that
are also taking advantage of government systems that we know
as well. So, knowing that I was filling in today
here in Charlotte on WBT, all I could think about
the last few days is at what point in the
show do I mention Arena Zarutska, the story that thrust
Charlotte into the national spotlight. I mean, I didn't want
to just come on and say, Hey, welcome to the
Pete Calnder Show. I'm Tony Marino, Happy Monday, Merry Christmas,
and what about Arenas the Root's gut, right, I didn't
want to just open up with that. But I also
don't want to go too long without talking about one
of the worst stories of the entire year, the story
that thrust Charlotte into the national spotlight and everything that
has happened since then. When I watched that video, and
I will say, because I pay a lot of attention
to what goes on in Charlotte prior to that, Prior
to that incident, and probably some of the Ukraine rallies
that had been happening in downtown Charlotte, you know, or
uptown Charlotte prior to some of the big Ukrainian rallies,
Ukraine support rallies, and then that. I mean, Charlotte is
not typically a city that's on the national radar, right,
If you watch national news, you don't hear about Charlotte
that often unless you know there's something major happens. But
I pay attention to Charlotte news because I used to
live here, uh, and my connection to WBT and friends
you know, in and around the city. So but when
I watched the video, like everybody, right, I was so
angry on so many levels. But I don't and I'm
not going to say I was the first person, you know,
to talk about it nationally. But I started talking about
it on the Newsmax Daily. It was probably I mean,
it was a few days after it happened. I heard
about it because I pay attention to Charlotte, like I said,
a couple of days after it happened, and I mentioned
it on the news Max Daily, and I mentioned it
every day after that, And it took at least a
week for the national news to start talking about it.
And by the time President Trump talked about it in
one of the Oval Office news conferences, it was probably
like two weeks before it had gone by. But I
was angry on multiple levels, and especially when I heard
the response from Mayor Vililes, the initial response when she
didn't even mention Arena by name. She talked about how
the city needs more resources for the homeless. When you've
been the mayor for eight years and this guy had
been arrested fourteen times before right, Mayor Vi Liials talked
about all the things that the city was lacking as
far as resources and services for the homeless and for
mentally ill. Well, you're the mayor and your fellow Democrat
Roy Cooper was the governor. Why didn't they fix anything.
Why hasn't she done anything about crime in eight years
except to watch it get worse. Yeah, the city has
made huge strides economically. It's grown massively, which some people
are happy about, some people are not. She's focused on growth. Well,
with all this growth comes more crime. I can tell you,
even when I lived in Charlotte and especially now, they
need way more cops on the streets. I know. This
is something that Brett Jensen talks about quite a bit.
He's obviously much more in tune to it than I am.
But this is the only city, this is the only
city that you can stand on the street in the
middle of downtown or uptown literally for like hours and
not see a cop. I mean, you cannot compare it
to New York City, which I was in last week,
where there's probably more cops in two or three streets
than there are in the whole city of Charlotte. But
where I live in Orlando, for example, Orange County Flow Orlando.
Cops are everywhere when you go downtown. Downtown Orlando is
not nearly as bad as I shouldn't say that it's
almost as bad. Downtown Orlando is a city that is
starting to face a lot of problems on its own,
but there are literally cops everywhere. You need more cops
on the streets in Charlotte. And her platform doesn't say
anything about fighting crime, right, affordable housing, city growth, nothing
on fighting crime. Thankfully, Carlos Brown wasn't granted bond. He's
in federal custody, and even though he faced his first
degree murder charges, his trial has been delayed, as you know,
for mental health evaluations. So what does that tell you? Yes,
mental health is a very very serious issue, no doubt,
and a lot of the crime does have to do
with mental health. But when he clearly was walking up
and down the train saying I killed that white girl.
I killed that white girl multiple times, he knows exactly
what he did. And the fact that no one did
anything or even said anything, that was another thing that
made me extremely angry. Angry. I mean, it's hard to
tell if the people knew what was going on and
just didn't know what to do. Did they know what
was going on and they just didn't know what to do,
or they know they weren't paying attention, they didn't care.
I don't know, but it's extremely it was extremely frustrating. Now,
what about this Kenyan Dobie guy who was stabbed while
protecting people from an attacker on the light rail a
couple of weeks ago. That's a hero. I don't know.
Did Mayor Lyles come out and say anything about him?
Is he being treated like a hero? I'd like to know.

Speaker 1: We're going to go right to the phones I mentioned
earlier in the first segment that you know, having the
opportunity to be here today is an opportunity to speak
to a lot of listeners, and you know, here from
folks see what's going on out there since I'm not
here all the time. First up, as Mark, Mark, thank
you very much for holding on. As I said, working remotely,
we're figuring out the you know, the kinks I actually
thought you sent in a text message and then I
realized that you were on the phone.
Speaker 3: Yes you Mark, Now you would never get a text
message for me.
Speaker 1: Well, thank you for holding what's up?
Speaker 3: But sure, when you said something about Ukraine a little
bit ago, you know politics, I'm I'm a former Democrat.
I actually loud it for Joe Biden back in the
Democratic Caucus back in the eighties. Okay, and now I mean,
i'm somebody has you shorted the party and the communist
Socialists or whatever? And I don't agree with just about
anything they do. But when it comes to Ukraine, do
y'all not remember that? The reason I think that Joe
Biden went all in and with billions and millions never
let up. To me, it was just plain as the
nudge on your face. His son, Haunter was sitting on
some board of directors or some you know.
Speaker 1: You said when you said, do you remember when you said,
do you remember? I knew exactly where you were going
to go when he said, if I don't have if
I don't have the money in six hours, are going
to fire the prosecutor. And I didn't get the money,
so we fired the prosecutor.
Speaker 3: I mean, in its on tape, and it's like it's
like treason. But yeah, do you remember that Hunter sold
his paintings for five hundred grand apiece. It's laundering, it's money.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't. I don't. I don't know how much
he sold them for. But yes, I know that that
he became an artist to help to help raise money.
Speaker 3: But here's the deal. So I think they had the
goods on him, him and his son and all their
their nefarious activities, and that that's why we're in it
so deep, and nobody seems to be checking up on
I just don't understand anyhow.
Speaker 1: Well that is yeah, well, Mark, I appreciate the phone call.
Uh it was obvious back then that they had the
goods on him. Uh, it was obvious on many occasions
after that that they had the goods on them. But uh,
the same way that it became obvious in the last
year that he really didn't know where the heck he was.
The same people that wanted him to run for reelection
and swore you know that he was is capable of
not only being the president but continuing to be the
president for four more years are the same people that
didn't want to pay any attention to what happened in
Ukraine and what happened everywhere else. So you know, that's
that's where we're at, right, And it's not I mean,
it's not just it's not just that, right, It's it's
not only the Biden investigation. There's still an ongoing investigation
into the so what you know, what what what the
what James Comer calls the the Biden crime family investigation.
Whatever happened with Joe Biden's brother, whatever happened with Hunter Biden?
Nothing then he got pardoned? What about auto pen? President
Trump said he thinks it's the biggest scandal, one of
the biggest scandals in the history of the United States,
the Joe Biden auto penn scandal. Nothing's happening with that.
Nothing's happening with James Komy. They're going to try and
you know, gin up some new charges against James Comy
that probably won't stick. Letitia James, the New York Attorney General,
apparently getting off the hook as well. All right, I'm
trying to look at the I'm looking at the I'm
trying to look at the phone log here. I think
Alex is up next.
Speaker 4: Alex you there, Yes, yes, I'm here.
Speaker 1: How you doing great? How are you? Thanks for holding on?
Speaker 4: Okay, I just wanted to say that you remember, following
the brutal murder of Irena Saruska by that sadistic animal
that mayor vile lies wrote this.
Speaker 1: Letter.
Speaker 4: It is so disgusting, vile lies, it showed, It shows
she showed much, so much compassion for the criminal, the
sadistic thug that murdered Arena, than she did even missioning Arena.
She just barely even mentions her, and she just spent
the paragraph after paragraph expressing compassion and sympathy for that thug.
And I was just wondering, do you think she would
have written such a letter if site young black thing
out Rwanda and refugee had been brutally murdered by some
statistic quite thug with a criminal record a mile long?
Do you think she would have written such a thing?
Speaker 1: Well, everything that you said about her response is what
I was saying earlier. And you know, the crime itself
obviously made me very angry. Then her response made me
very angry. The lack of response from people on the
trade train made me angry. But to answer your question, yes,
just like a lot of crimes and a lot of
very blue cities. I think her response, what she wrote
and what she said, would have been different under those circumstances.
I think we're up against a break and Alex, thank
you again for the phone call. I do appreciate it.
Speaker 2: All right, listening to this show, you know I try
to keep up with all sorts of current events, and
I know you do too. And you've probably heard me
say get your news from multiple sources. Why well, because
it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've
been so impressed with ground News. It's an app, and
it's a website and it combines news from around the
world in one place so you can compare coverage and
verify information. You can check it out at check dot ground,
dot news, slash pete. I put the link in the
podcast description too. I started using ground News a few
months ago and more recently chose to work with them
as an affiliate because it lets me see clearly how
stories get covered and by whom. The blind spot feature
shows you which stories get ignored by the left and
the right. See for yourself check dot ground, dot news,

only helps my podcast, but it also so ports ground
news as they make the media landscape more transparent.
Speaker 1: So just to wrap up on this whole Irena Zerutzka thing,
you know, and mayor live ales vy Liles what did that?
What did he call her? Vi lying whatever? Okay, at
least at least they have taken a big step forward
with the Irena law right, eliminating the ridiculous cashless bail,
the dumbest thing ever, and expanding mental health evaluations. And
I mentioned at the beginning of the whole conversation so so,
so you had the Irena Zarutska stabbing, then there was
another incident after that, I think it was a shooting.
And then there was the incident with the hero right
what was his name, Kenyon, Kenyan Adobe or Kenyan Dobe,
the guy who got stabbed protecting people from attacker from
an attacker on the light rail. In the brief period
of time I lived in Charlotte, I never rode the
light rail. I rode that other I rode the other
rail that goes, you know, up and down downtown through uptown.
All that I never actually rode on the light rail.
I don't know what's going on on the light rail.
There wasn't that much violence on the light rail. I
don't seem to remember that much violence on the light
rail when I lived there, So I'm not sure what's
going on there. But did Kenyon get as much publicity
or you know, sympathy from city leaders as to Carlos Brown? Did?
That's the question that I'm trying to get at. I mean,
is the hero being treated like a hero? Yes, I'm
sure some of the TVSS, WBT and probably WBT TV.
I mean, I know people covered it, but is he
getting the is he getting a hero's coverage? Did Viylyles
talk about him? Is he going to get the key
to the city or anything like that? And this is
something you know, to think about as far as criminals
being arrested multiple times and being let out of jail
and the whole cash list bail thing. Not just in
this case. De Carlos Brown was arrested fourteen times, but
we've seen this over and over in other cities. Right
If a bartender can be held responsible for serving drinks
to someone who drives drunk, and I have to say
that I got this from a friend of mine that
is a bartender at a high end restaurant, and this
is something as a bartender he has to deal with. Right.
If a bar can be held responsible for serving drinks
to someone who drives drunk and kills someone, why shouldn't
a judge who lets someone off multiple times be responsible
be held responsible in some way, shape or form after
that person goes out and kills an innocent person. I'm
going to leave you with that thought. A couple of
minutes to go here, there was a Turning Point USA
event in Arizona, Phoenix, Arizona, home of Turning Point US
over the weekend. Vice President Vance was there. He delivered remarks, Oh, Vance, oh,
by the way, Erica Kirk, she already endorsed Vice President
Vance for twenty twenty eight. I don't even really want
to start talking about the midterms already, which we are,
but now people are starting to talk about twenty twenty eight.
But you know Vance and Erica ooh, shut up already,
all these no list basement writers trying to get clicks
with all their hate for Erica Kirk. I mean, it's
it's ridiculous, right the JD. Vance divorce or rumors and
all the stuff that's going on with Erica Kirk now
about her ex boyfriend and whoever she dated before she
married Charlie Kirk. Shut up. The woman is a mother
of two children. She just watched her husband get executed,
and then she's kind of forced more into the limelight
than she already was. Right, She's at the White House,
she's giving interviews on big national shows, she's doing speeches.
I mean, give her a break. Really, that's something that's
really bothering me. And it's it just comes down, you know,
to the Internet and social media and the gazillion different
so called news platforms that are out there today. Florida
Representative Anna Paulina Luna also spurt spoke at the Turning
Point amerfest Nick, if you would play that cut from
Anna Paulina Luna, she's the representative that is pushing the
discharge petition to force a vote on congressional trading.
Speaker 5: By the time that she announced that she was no
longer seeking office, had outperformed Warren Buffett. We've nicknamed her
the real Wolf of Wall Street, and she's currently outperformed
the SMP and made over seventeen thousand percent returns on
her stock investment that statistically does not happen unless you
are engaged in instead of trading. Both Democrat and Republican
members of Congress that have promised to protect the American
people and our country are making on average six hundred
percent on their returns. They sit on committees of jurisdiction
to oversee the policy that impacts this country. Do you
think they're ever going like, first of all, let's just
talk about foreign policy, right, we see this debate? Are
you pro? Are you pro Ukraine? How about you be
pro American? Maybe not advocate for four and worse?
Speaker 1: How about that? Yeah? How about that? How about not,
dear average.
Speaker 5: That's a sitting member in the House sendate to vote
for peace when they are personally invested and backed and
owned by the military industrial complex. Do you ever think
that's going to happen? The answer is no.
Speaker 2: All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you
so much for listening. I could not do the show
without your support and the support of the businesses that
advertise on the podcast, So if you'd like, please support
them too and tell them you heard it here. You

for listening, and don't break anything while I'm gone.
