And 11 00:00:33,119 --> 00:00:34,960 by the way, if you want to call in, I'm 12 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:38,520 sure some phone calls will happen today, There's no doubt mine. 13 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:41,280 I did a radio spot earlier today and it's been 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:46,079 a wild ride. You almost. It's not as if there's 15 00:00:46,079 --> 00:00:49,840 not a lot to talk about, right. I never dreamed 16 00:00:50,039 --> 00:00:56,200 that I would see a day that the Democrats, their base, 17 00:00:57,200 --> 00:01:00,840 the leaders, if you can call them that, that would 18 00:01:00,880 --> 00:01:05,280 be an absolute freefall after eight years of persecution of 19 00:01:05,359 --> 00:01:16,000 one individual. I'd never thought that they would become so myopic, lost, bitter, angry, 20 00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:19,239 full of hate. You know, the party that projected love 21 00:01:19,319 --> 00:01:23,159 and peace and tolerance is none of those things, and 22 00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,959 they've proven it over the past eight years heading into nine. 23 00:01:26,120 --> 00:01:28,680 Ever since he walked the Trump went down the escalator 24 00:01:30,040 --> 00:01:33,079 and it's just his His drawing oxygen led to another 25 00:01:33,079 --> 00:01:34,879 attempt on his life, by the way, and there are 26 00:01:34,879 --> 00:01:38,480 many many Democrats or excuse me, activists I guess that 27 00:01:38,560 --> 00:01:40,840 are on X that are out there, well, not right 28 00:01:40,879 --> 00:01:43,319 now because it's down, but if you saw it earlier 29 00:01:43,879 --> 00:01:46,879 that are proclaiming, Wow, I hope someone gets a better 30 00:01:46,879 --> 00:01:49,560 shot at it. Can't wait to keep encouraging this energy 31 00:01:49,599 --> 00:01:53,560 out there. They're not. The sad reality of that is 32 00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:58,760 those individuals are not engaged in any kind of desire 33 00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,239 to make life life better for you. They're not engaged 34 00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:05,159 in making the country safer better. They're not. They're not 35 00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:09,560 even engaged in debate on issues. Me the other night 36 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:12,759 at this State of that wasn't really a State of 37 00:02:12,759 --> 00:02:14,479 the Union. It was Trump giving an update on the 38 00:02:14,479 --> 00:02:17,560 whirlwind that has been his presidency since about roughly well 39 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:21,439 a month and a half ago. It didn't matter what 40 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,439 he said. And you've heard this. I'm not. I'm not. 41 00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:26,840 This is not an original thought that I'm parlaying here. 42 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:31,719 This is common thought, which is that as I sat 43 00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:34,840 and watched so my wife was watching, I was, we 44 00:02:34,840 --> 00:02:39,719 were all watching. I was taken aback by the five 45 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:43,680 year old mentality that has got the Democrats so wrapped 46 00:02:43,759 --> 00:02:47,120 up in their sandbox that they hold silly signs up, 47 00:02:48,680 --> 00:02:51,960 you know, musk Lie steal whatever. And this is not reality. 48 00:02:52,039 --> 00:02:55,199 And and the pink outfits didn't work all the same 49 00:02:55,280 --> 00:02:58,719 day that Democrats voted to not allow women to just 50 00:02:58,800 --> 00:03:01,759 compete with women. That that Democrats who said they're supporting 51 00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:05,560 women in pink outfits that night, after voting earlier that 52 00:03:05,719 --> 00:03:09,319 day to allow men to compete with women, thereby diminishing 53 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:14,960 women at least their mentality. Nothing. There's no cohesiveness. The 54 00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:18,199 only cohesiveness that Democrats have right now, and this was 55 00:03:18,479 --> 00:03:20,680 this is in the age of social media. I guess 56 00:03:20,719 --> 00:03:24,960 Democrats are still communicating on clay tablets or something because 57 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:29,120 they don't realize that social media tracks all things it 58 00:03:29,159 --> 00:03:32,719 wants on both sides. I mean, there's a thousand trolls 59 00:03:32,759 --> 00:03:35,000 on a million trolls on both sides that are tracking 60 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:37,560 everything everybody says, finding a way to twist it, to 61 00:03:37,599 --> 00:03:39,800 recharacterize it, to remold it, to make it into their 62 00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:41,840 own former, to prove a point that may it is 63 00:03:41,960 --> 00:03:45,680 just a sound by clip. However, in this particular instance, 64 00:03:45,759 --> 00:03:49,759 when they saw Nancy Pelosi and Chuck Schumer and Adam 65 00:03:49,759 --> 00:03:52,800 Schiff and Elizabeth Warren and Bernie and all of them 66 00:03:53,199 --> 00:03:56,360 speaking the exact same words almost into the same kind 67 00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,199 of microphones, and put all that together, it showed that 68 00:03:59,439 --> 00:04:02,879 the innability of Democrats to have a single lucid thought 69 00:04:02,919 --> 00:04:09,439 of their own, that it's a a choreographed world for them, 70 00:04:09,599 --> 00:04:15,439 that there's they have to be choreographed. It is embarrassing 71 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:19,079 for them. And as I'm watching this, I don't I 72 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:20,680 don't write this. I don't have to make this up. 73 00:04:20,759 --> 00:04:23,040 I don't have to. I mean, I love to do research. 74 00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:26,720 I'm chronically reading and researching, watching the markets today, looking 75 00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:28,920 at what's going on in the field of science and health, 76 00:04:29,079 --> 00:04:34,319 in the market and politics and energy. That it's there's 77 00:04:34,319 --> 00:04:36,920 so much that's interesting out there. But at the meantime, 78 00:04:37,759 --> 00:04:44,920 what usually makes the country healthy is working toward debates 79 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:48,759 of given solutions. The left and right go back and forth. Look, 80 00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:51,399 I'm a conservative, I know how I'm confident in that. 81 00:04:51,439 --> 00:04:54,680 In fact, I was looking through some I'll say this, 82 00:04:54,680 --> 00:04:58,319 this is kind of a self owned self admission after 83 00:04:58,360 --> 00:05:05,600 my parents passed, and one was unexpected. You go through 84 00:05:06,040 --> 00:05:08,759 their entire life in various forms. So one the google 85 00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,399 of your life is gone. So anything referencing your own 86 00:05:11,439 --> 00:05:14,240 personal life to that point in time, you can't say, Hey, 87 00:05:14,639 --> 00:05:16,920 what what was that? What was going on at this 88 00:05:16,959 --> 00:05:18,800 point in my life? You can't. It's just your own 89 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:23,360 recollections and whatever's written or photographed. Number Two, if you 90 00:05:23,399 --> 00:05:27,120 don't get rid of stuff, the stuff you have does 91 00:05:27,319 --> 00:05:30,600 not have the same meaning to your kids. So your 92 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:33,600 kids are going to be put in an unenviable position 93 00:05:34,199 --> 00:05:36,800 of getting rid of things that would have been important 94 00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:38,639 to you or had there been a purpose for those 95 00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,800 things to keep. And it's hard. You're getting rid of 96 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:45,279 awards your parents may have earned, or getting rid of 97 00:05:45,360 --> 00:05:48,519 newspaper clippings you know from your grandparents that would have 98 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,759 no meaning to other generations. You ask them, they don't care. 99 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:53,240 It's not a bad thing. In fact, I think the 100 00:05:53,319 --> 00:05:56,399 thing it's called a Swedish death cleanse, when when they 101 00:05:56,480 --> 00:06:00,000 died you get rid of the mortal side of people's lives. 102 00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:02,759 So I'm going through this and I found my parents 103 00:06:02,800 --> 00:06:07,959 had collected newspaper articles anything about me. It was kind 104 00:06:07,959 --> 00:06:10,120 of sad. They really you realize how much your parents 105 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:11,560 care about you when they do things like that. You 106 00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,199 don't even realize they're doing it. But I found this 107 00:06:13,319 --> 00:06:17,439 cash of stuff from thirty forty years ago, and it 108 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,399 was when I was an editor for conservative newspaper in 109 00:06:20,439 --> 00:06:23,800 the UNC system, the only conservative newspaper in all of 110 00:06:23,879 --> 00:06:27,199 the UNC system. And I was reading that and the 111 00:06:27,199 --> 00:06:31,439 clarity of conviction I had then without the experience of life. 112 00:06:31,480 --> 00:06:35,079 I mean, I'm nineteen twenty twenty one years old, and 113 00:06:36,639 --> 00:06:40,560 I'm very proud to say that I had that those 114 00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:43,399 convictions then. So you could argue, oh, Chad, so you 115 00:06:43,439 --> 00:06:45,879 were conservative then and all you did was find confirmation 116 00:06:45,959 --> 00:06:47,639 biased for the rest of your life until you are 117 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,480 where you are now. No, it's more than I from 118 00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:53,000 that day and from days prior to that, I would 119 00:06:53,079 --> 00:06:57,160 challenge my belief systems, and I still do. I challenge 120 00:06:57,199 --> 00:07:00,959 my perspective. If you're married, you get challenged straight, you 121 00:07:01,079 --> 00:07:05,959 know that, but it get challenged regularly, and you challenge 122 00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:08,639 those and now it is you know, years led decades later, 123 00:07:09,040 --> 00:07:13,079 and those convictions are shored up by experience, by education, 124 00:07:13,519 --> 00:07:16,480 by research, and so I feel very confident that and 125 00:07:16,519 --> 00:07:21,000 I find that the left does not have a cohesive anything. 126 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,079 All of the things they said that they believed in 127 00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,240 for the past forty fifty sixty years has collapsed. It's 128 00:07:29,279 --> 00:07:34,319 a heap of rhetoric, it's a heap of gobbledygook, It's 129 00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,920 a heap of hatred. They are they interested in making 130 00:07:36,959 --> 00:07:39,360 any of the government programs better. No, And the minute 131 00:07:39,360 --> 00:07:41,000 anyone says, hey we want to look at waste fraud 132 00:07:41,079 --> 00:07:44,319 abuse like dosee is done, their knee jerk reaction is, 133 00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:48,680 oh god, it's terrible governing placing there, they scream, they melt. 134 00:07:49,319 --> 00:07:52,000 It's like watching you know that scene in the Raiders 135 00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:54,319 of the Lost Ark where they pull the cap off 136 00:07:54,360 --> 00:07:57,480 the the Arc of the Covenant and the Nazis melt down. 137 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,680 Ironic because they always call the right Nazis. They melt. 138 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:03,839 They melt or they're vampires that have been exposed to 139 00:08:03,839 --> 00:08:05,839 the sun and say, you see Elizabeth, Warren and Schumann, 140 00:08:05,879 --> 00:08:09,600 all these, all of them, they just melt down because 141 00:08:09,639 --> 00:08:11,800 they don't have the courage of their convictions. They have 142 00:08:11,839 --> 00:08:15,480 hatred of Donald Trump and anything he says. So instead 143 00:08:15,519 --> 00:08:17,639 of saying, hey, we want to defend the country, Hey 144 00:08:17,680 --> 00:08:19,959 we want to make the border stronger. Hey, we want 145 00:08:19,959 --> 00:08:22,399 to make sure American sovereignty is protected, or our interests 146 00:08:22,399 --> 00:08:27,199 are representative broader, making companies stronger, or balancing the balancing 147 00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,720 the budget, any of these things, their immediate reaction is 148 00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:31,680 orange man bat All right. 149 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:33,559 Speaker 1: If you're listening to this show, you know I try 150 00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:35,320 to keep up with all sorts of current events, and 151 00:08:35,399 --> 00:08:37,440 I know you do too, And you've probably heard me 152 00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:41,720 say get your news from multiple sources.

You know, if you 176 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,919 go after waste fraud and abuse and medicaid for instance, 177 00:09:57,480 --> 00:09:59,039 you know the left would say, oh, you're going to 178 00:09:59,120 --> 00:10:01,799 hurt someone. You're going to to hurt someone in the process. Well, 179 00:10:01,799 --> 00:10:05,039 if you're not very careful, you could. That's a true statement, 180 00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:07,960 ostensibly speaking, if you're not careful in the way you 181 00:10:08,000 --> 00:10:11,440 surgically go after waste fraud, abuse, in any government program 182 00:10:11,559 --> 00:10:14,679 that services a given population, you could end up hurting someone. 183 00:10:15,200 --> 00:10:22,200 But when those government programs have been unaudited, unreviewed, they've 184 00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:27,759 not been checked, they've not been held into account, then 185 00:10:27,759 --> 00:10:30,799 you have to wonder who's running it and why aren't 186 00:10:30,799 --> 00:10:32,679 they looking at it now. I'm not going to spare 187 00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:36,480 Republicans here in the state of North Carolina or in DC, 188 00:10:37,120 --> 00:10:39,240 because the people that have been in controlled both parties 189 00:10:39,279 --> 00:10:42,000 have controlled that budget from a congressional standpoint, back and 190 00:10:42,039 --> 00:10:45,440 forth since the Great Society and beyond. But let's just 191 00:10:45,559 --> 00:10:47,519 for the purposes of this discussion, let's do it since 192 00:10:47,519 --> 00:10:50,600 they were created. Most of those big government Great Society 193 00:10:51,039 --> 00:10:53,200 programs that have run off the rails, even the Department 194 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,840 of Education created by Carter in seventy nine, these programs 195 00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:59,679 have just run off the rails, and both teams have 196 00:10:59,720 --> 00:11:03,480 been the train. Meanwhile, you know, people are just you know, 197 00:11:03,720 --> 00:11:08,240 there's so much graph there's corruption, absolute corruption, absolute waste, 198 00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:13,200 absolute billions of dollars being smith that have no bearing 199 00:11:13,279 --> 00:11:16,279 on American interest or citizens or making our lives better 200 00:11:16,399 --> 00:11:21,159 or making us safer. And when called to account, rather 201 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:22,840 than say, you know what, we do need to look 202 00:11:22,879 --> 00:11:26,200 at this, what is it? Musk lies, Musket needs more money, 203 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:31,200 Musk is an oragark, Musk is trying to steal your money. No, 204 00:11:31,919 --> 00:11:35,120 that's just silly. If you have that thought, your elevator 205 00:11:35,120 --> 00:11:38,000 doesn't go to the top floor. You are obviously a 206 00:11:38,039 --> 00:11:40,639 few sandwiches short of a full picnic. I could go on. 207 00:11:42,440 --> 00:11:45,240 There are more analogies to that than there are ways 208 00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:50,440 to be a redneck, according to Jeff Foxworthy. So when 209 00:11:50,480 --> 00:11:54,159 you look at this thing, what you realize is they're not. 210 00:11:55,679 --> 00:11:59,639 I thought they would be very interested in engaging on issues. 211 00:11:59,799 --> 00:12:03,600 But what made them remarkably unserious to me they had 212 00:12:04,120 --> 00:12:05,799 And this is why the American public is not on 213 00:12:05,799 --> 00:12:07,759 their side right now. They're they're far removed from being 214 00:12:07,799 --> 00:12:10,159 on the side. If you'll notice Jeff Jackson, who's the 215 00:12:10,159 --> 00:12:13,759 ag from the North Carolina, You'll notice that the new governor, 216 00:12:14,799 --> 00:12:17,279 you know, Josh Stein, is not. They are not interested 217 00:12:17,320 --> 00:12:19,799 in being connected to what's happening in DC. If you 218 00:12:19,840 --> 00:12:23,320 review a lot of their stuff, they may be there's 219 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:27,679 just nothing out there. Really, it's mostly about hurricane recovery 220 00:12:27,759 --> 00:12:30,879 or there's a storm coming and we need to be ready. 221 00:12:31,759 --> 00:12:35,279 They are not. Democrats are at the state and local 222 00:12:35,360 --> 00:12:38,559 level are doing everything unless they're absolute moon back crazies, 223 00:12:39,440 --> 00:12:43,279 you know, the Purple Hair Brigade, unless they're trying to 224 00:12:43,320 --> 00:12:47,159 virtue signal or something. But by and large, any Democrat 225 00:12:47,720 --> 00:12:53,039 whose sanity remains are trying to avoid avoid like the 226 00:12:53,159 --> 00:12:55,960 plague stuff. At the national level. Even some of the 227 00:12:56,039 --> 00:13:01,080 national Democrats are very concerned. They're sounding the alarm. Hey, 228 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:04,399 the ship has hit an iceberg. We're going down, and 229 00:13:05,159 --> 00:13:10,240 you guys are trying to hit more icebergs. The most 230 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,879 serious problem Democrats have is there's no cohesive leadership. Again, 231 00:13:12,879 --> 00:13:15,759 I'm not saying anything that a thousand other commentators, pundits 232 00:13:15,759 --> 00:13:18,000 and others on left and right have said, there's no 233 00:13:18,039 --> 00:13:22,240 one running the ship. It's a bunch and now even 234 00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:24,559 funnier and I got to get to the story, and 235 00:13:24,879 --> 00:13:27,279 I will, and to me, it's something that people have said. 236 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:29,639 But let's go back to the Democrats. I'll get it 237 00:13:29,639 --> 00:13:31,440 to it in the next segment about Biden and who 238 00:13:31,480 --> 00:13:36,480 was who was making decisions. The collective leftist media knew 239 00:13:36,919 --> 00:13:40,720 that Joe Biden was incognitive declient. They knew it. You know, 240 00:13:40,759 --> 00:13:42,679 who are you going to believe me or your lying eyes? 241 00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,879 You knew it. Everyone listening to this left or right, 242 00:13:44,919 --> 00:13:48,039 you knew it. The media knew it. The Democrats knew it. 243 00:13:48,279 --> 00:13:51,000 So what did they do? What you would think a 244 00:13:51,799 --> 00:13:54,679 for the sake of the country, they would come together 245 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:57,159 and say, you know what, we really don't need to 246 00:13:57,159 --> 00:13:58,879 go down this path. We need to have a primary. 247 00:13:58,919 --> 00:14:00,759 We need to pick someone. We know Donald Trump's going 248 00:14:00,799 --> 00:14:03,159 to be the likely nominee for the Republicans. We need 249 00:14:03,159 --> 00:14:06,679 to put our best candidate forward. Did they do that? No, 250 00:14:07,759 --> 00:14:10,879 they went with what they candidate they knew was imperiled. 251 00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:13,200 They knew he was mentally not all there. They knew 252 00:14:13,279 --> 00:14:16,440 that age had caught up with him, they knew he 253 00:14:16,519 --> 00:14:22,360 represented not much. They they thought that that they're like 254 00:14:22,440 --> 00:14:24,399 if you watch Star Trek, they're like the borg that 255 00:14:24,440 --> 00:14:27,120 they can just function as one cohesive unit. You know, 256 00:14:27,159 --> 00:14:29,360 in resistance is feudal. And they're going to put all 257 00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:32,039 this together and throw it upon the American public. And 258 00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:36,279 they convinced their rank and file to support him. To 259 00:14:36,440 --> 00:14:42,960 support a feeble candidate that isn't capable of making good decisions, 260 00:14:43,240 --> 00:14:46,720 who's allowing his unelected wife. You democrats that are concerned 261 00:14:46,759 --> 00:14:50,080 about people unelected in office whose wife ran the cabinet meetings. 262 00:14:51,240 --> 00:14:54,320 Clearly he wasn't in charge. We now know his signature 263 00:14:54,639 --> 00:14:56,320 looks like it was forged for a lot of his 264 00:14:56,360 --> 00:14:58,159 presidency and someone else is doing it. We'll get into 265 00:14:58,159 --> 00:15:01,519 that story next. And they had the opportunity so instead 266 00:15:01,559 --> 00:15:03,679 Trump bad, Trump bad. We had dieded him. Yeah, you 267 00:15:03,679 --> 00:15:05,480 did in the most partisan court in the land, and 268 00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:08,159 the American public saw through it. The American public saw 269 00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:11,120 this Rather than seeing what you guys wanted them to see, 270 00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:14,159 which was Orange man, bad bad guy, bad guy, bad guy. 271 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:17,879 What the American public saw was political prosecution. The American 272 00:15:17,919 --> 00:15:23,360 public started realizing it wasn't about Trump, the imperfect human 273 00:15:23,399 --> 00:15:27,720 being which all of us are. It was about don't 274 00:15:27,759 --> 00:15:32,240 attack the message, attack the messenger, attack him, attack his people, 275 00:15:32,360 --> 00:15:34,679 and then they went after his supporters. None of what 276 00:15:34,759 --> 00:15:37,559 they did worked, and they were supporting a guy blindly 277 00:15:37,840 --> 00:15:42,919 that was incapable of carrying a conversation. Furthermore, he makes 278 00:15:42,919 --> 00:15:46,879 it through a primary, they throw him out, The partisans 279 00:15:46,879 --> 00:15:49,279 in the party throw him out in June July and 280 00:15:49,360 --> 00:15:51,639 put in place. They had a golden opportunity to put 281 00:15:51,639 --> 00:15:54,039 a powerful candidate, or at least when they perceived his powerful, 282 00:15:54,039 --> 00:15:56,200 and they put one of the weakest candiates because it 283 00:15:56,200 --> 00:15:58,200 was about race and sex to them, not about what 284 00:15:58,279 --> 00:16:01,480 was good for the country. You can't wait to hear 285 00:16:01,480 --> 00:16:02,559 phone calls about this stuff. 286 00:16:02,799 --> 00:16:05,480 Speaker 1: Here's a great idea.

That's because I'm not Pete, but 314 00:17:31,519 --> 00:17:34,799 wishing Pete well and hope he's back better than ever 315 00:17:34,839 --> 00:17:37,640 as he always is. Now, Rick, welcome to the show. 316 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:39,559 Thanks for being on hold. You had a couple thoughts 317 00:17:39,559 --> 00:17:45,519 about what's going on with X formerly known as Twitter. Hello, Hello, Hello, 318 00:17:46,319 --> 00:17:49,680 I'm here. That was me just saying hello, Hi, yes sir. 319 00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:53,079 Speaker 3: Yeah. Before ten this morning, X went down. I have 320 00:17:53,200 --> 00:17:57,000 checked other message boards and it is down to widespread, 321 00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:58,559 which it's not a confirmed attack. 322 00:17:59,759 --> 00:18:02,039 Speaker 2: No, I agree with you. In fact, what's happened on 323 00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:05,880 my end from where I'm doing this, it has been sporadic. 324 00:18:05,960 --> 00:18:09,079 In other words, it doesn't work, and then it does work, 325 00:18:09,119 --> 00:18:11,480 and then it doesn't work, and so I did see that. 326 00:18:11,519 --> 00:18:15,440 Elon Musk has responded this and said that many folks 327 00:18:15,480 --> 00:18:18,519 have experienced several outages, leaving some of us unable to 328 00:18:18,559 --> 00:18:21,440 load the site. Nearly forty thousand users were forty thousand 329 00:18:21,559 --> 00:18:24,559 reported problems around ten o'clock this morning. Did you have 330 00:18:24,599 --> 00:18:26,680 it before then? Did you have issues before ten? 331 00:18:27,720 --> 00:18:30,839 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was online when it started, like I said before. 332 00:18:30,559 --> 00:18:33,759 Speaker 2: Ten, okay, So I appreciate you sharing that, and it 333 00:18:33,799 --> 00:18:35,759 is for those of you who are looking out there wondering, hey, 334 00:18:35,799 --> 00:18:38,200 what the heck is going on. To the caller's point, Rick, 335 00:18:38,240 --> 00:18:42,160 appreciate you calling in. It has been and with me, Rick, 336 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:43,880 have you been able to reload and get things to 337 00:18:43,920 --> 00:18:45,960 work from time to time sporadically? 338 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:49,319 Speaker 3: I tried creditatedly, but until I have confirmation that the 339 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,039 site has been cleared up, I'll just spend my time 340 00:18:52,079 --> 00:18:52,839 doing something else. 341 00:18:54,240 --> 00:18:56,559 Speaker 2: I hope. You know what, when things like this happen, 342 00:18:56,599 --> 00:18:59,960 it reminds us there's a life outside of that, right, So, Rick, 343 00:19:00,119 --> 00:19:02,240 I appreciate the phone call. And to rix point, it 344 00:19:02,359 --> 00:19:07,359 is it is operating at like nothing. It's basically offline. 345 00:19:07,359 --> 00:19:09,519 So if you're trying, if it's not you to rix point. 346 00:19:09,559 --> 00:19:11,680 It's not your Internet provider. It's something to do with 347 00:19:11,680 --> 00:19:16,000 that platform. Thanks for calling, Rick, I appreciate it. As always, 348 00:19:16,039 --> 00:19:19,279 the astuteness of our audience. They are, you know, hey, 349 00:19:19,359 --> 00:19:21,359 he's just letting you know, kind of a public service 350 00:19:21,359 --> 00:19:24,519 thing Twitter formerly well it's X formally known as Twitter, right, 351 00:19:24,680 --> 00:19:27,839 I had you do you? And this is rhetorical. Of course, 352 00:19:27,839 --> 00:19:29,599 you can't call it and discuss it. Do any of 353 00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:31,480 you call it X? 354 00:19:31,559 --> 00:19:31,799 Speaker 3: Now? 355 00:19:32,359 --> 00:19:35,200 Speaker 2: I was posting on X the other day, I xed. 356 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,480 I mean, if you post on x's at XT I xed, 357 00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:43,480 I sent three x's. It just sounds strange it but 358 00:19:43,519 --> 00:19:45,079 this is the line. So you never know what he's 359 00:19:45,079 --> 00:19:47,359 going to do next. He may call it another I 360 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:49,680 don't know x Y platform. That would really offend some people, 361 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,079 wouldn't get everybody up in an uproar. Now we're talking 362 00:19:53,119 --> 00:19:55,880 before the break, and we will continue this discussion. If 363 00:19:55,920 --> 00:19:57,720 you would like to get in on the discussion here 364 00:19:57,759 --> 00:20:00,480 at news Talk eleven ten ninety nine three WBT, you're 365 00:20:00,519 --> 00:20:03,039 welcome to do so. Seven oh four five seven oh 366 00:20:03,119 --> 00:20:06,559 eleven ten. Easy number to remember a lot of callers 367 00:20:06,599 --> 00:20:08,839 that was listening to Vince's show earlier. And you know, 368 00:20:08,920 --> 00:20:11,799 it's interesting that the people that do call and become 369 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:15,240 part of the nomenclature here that you hear you, I've 370 00:20:15,240 --> 00:20:18,599 heard that guy before, that gal before. So always welcome 371 00:20:18,640 --> 00:20:23,119 to expand the conversation, so to speak. When I was 372 00:20:23,240 --> 00:20:28,160 going through this kind of putting the pieces together, you know, 373 00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:31,039 and I am amazed at where the Democrats find themselves. 374 00:20:31,039 --> 00:20:35,079 And I'm further amazed that it's as if they know 375 00:20:35,160 --> 00:20:38,559 there's a hole in the boat, and rather than go, hey, 376 00:20:38,759 --> 00:20:40,960 we have a hole in the boat, let's grab the 377 00:20:41,039 --> 00:20:43,480 duct tape and do some Apollo thirteen stuff and just 378 00:20:43,519 --> 00:20:46,039 patch this boat up so we start floating and rebuilding, 379 00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,599 They're like, you know what, I really don't like that 380 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,799 hole in the boat. That's Trump's fault. And they grab 381 00:20:50,799 --> 00:20:52,599 a pick axe and they say, we're going to get 382 00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:54,599 rid of that hole with a pick axe and the 383 00:20:54,599 --> 00:20:56,960 shovel in the axe. So they start pounding the bottom 384 00:20:57,039 --> 00:20:59,720 and making the hole bigger, and as the boat sinking, 385 00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:02,960 it's it's all Donald Trump's fault, or it's all somebody 386 00:21:03,000 --> 00:21:07,039 else's fault. It's never their fault. If you ever noticed 387 00:21:07,079 --> 00:21:09,200 that when you see all these all these poor government 388 00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,319 workers that are out of a job. They never felt 389 00:21:11,319 --> 00:21:16,759 that way. When you know, twelve thousand pipeline folks ready 390 00:21:16,799 --> 00:21:20,680 to make the Keystone pipeline were fired, or anybody else 391 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,799 in the private sector gets laid off, they don't. They 392 00:21:22,799 --> 00:21:25,599 don't appear to care, they don't express outrage at that. 393 00:21:25,960 --> 00:21:28,119 But whenever anything in government happens, it's the end of 394 00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,759 the world. And they never ever think maybe that was 395 00:21:31,799 --> 00:21:34,960 a department. You know, Milton Friedman, I think, is famous 396 00:21:34,960 --> 00:21:37,000 for saying, pick any three letters in the alphabet and 397 00:21:37,039 --> 00:21:39,559 you probably will have identified a department that either the 398 00:21:39,599 --> 00:21:42,240 government can get rid of or could be severely reduced. 399 00:21:43,559 --> 00:21:46,559 He's right, I mean, and it's not that I'm anti government. 400 00:21:46,720 --> 00:21:50,000 I'm pro efficient government. I'm pro you know, we have 401 00:21:50,039 --> 00:21:52,440 a responsibility in society, and I think we've tried to 402 00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,680 just legislate everybody into a you know, a brave new 403 00:21:56,680 --> 00:22:00,039 world of sorts where everybody is the same, and we 404 00:22:00,039 --> 00:22:02,000 get into this DEI stuff, which was a waste. We 405 00:22:02,039 --> 00:22:04,759 get into the silliness and if you look at the 406 00:22:04,799 --> 00:22:06,799 evolution of society, and I know I've gone way off 407 00:22:06,839 --> 00:22:09,720 the rails about Biden's auto signature, which we will get 408 00:22:09,759 --> 00:22:12,880 to is that if you look at over the evolution 409 00:22:13,559 --> 00:22:15,240 and I know that's going to make some other folks 410 00:22:15,240 --> 00:22:19,839 match the evolution of politics in this country. Every iteration 411 00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,480 makes things. It adds freedom, doesn't it. If you look 412 00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:28,480 at where we are, what makes this country great is freedom, 413 00:22:28,519 --> 00:22:31,000 personal freedom, property rights, all those things. And so when 414 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:34,319 there have been individuals that have been disenfranchised or prevented 415 00:22:34,359 --> 00:22:37,359 from having those freedoms. Over time, society addresses that, women's 416 00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,119 right to vote, slavery, all these civil rights, all these 417 00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,839 things are about creating more freedom. But somewhere the left 418 00:22:44,839 --> 00:22:47,920 went off the rails and started taking away freedoms. And 419 00:22:47,960 --> 00:22:52,160 when you do that, you're not making society better at 420 00:22:52,160 --> 00:22:55,279 that point. The more you make people dependent on government, 421 00:22:55,319 --> 00:22:58,960 you haven't made them stronger. Supposed to be a hand up, 422 00:22:59,039 --> 00:23:01,920 not a handout, right, But I've gone off the tracks. 423 00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:06,599 To illustrate how Moon back crazy the Democrats became. They 424 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:09,759 picked a senile individual that Robert Hurry even identified and 425 00:23:09,759 --> 00:23:13,079 said he would be in his report about Biden said 426 00:23:13,079 --> 00:23:15,279 he would be seen as there may be some something here, 427 00:23:15,319 --> 00:23:17,799 but he would be seen as a seat, as someone 428 00:23:17,880 --> 00:23:21,559 with some degree of senility that isn't really have a 429 00:23:21,559 --> 00:23:23,759 real good grasp with the facts. Democrats knew that, the 430 00:23:23,799 --> 00:23:25,759 media knew that. You knew that, you saw it, You 431 00:23:25,799 --> 00:23:27,759 saw it in the way he had to hold these 432 00:23:27,960 --> 00:23:30,759 strange press meetings, He had to use a fake White 433 00:23:30,839 --> 00:23:33,640 House studio to do things, He had to have pre 434 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,039 screened questions and answers from the media. They covered up 435 00:23:38,039 --> 00:23:41,519 and covered up and covered up. Gosh, there's so much 436 00:23:41,559 --> 00:23:43,079 more to get to on this, and I will get 437 00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:46,240 to the auto open signature about the docks that were 438 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:48,200 being signed by the President of the United States that 439 00:23:48,240 --> 00:23:50,839 appeared not to have been signed by him, which to 440 00:23:50,920 --> 00:23:52,680 me looks a little treasony. 441 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:53,799 Speaker 3: But who am I? 442 00:23:54,000 --> 00:23:56,279 Speaker 2: Who am I to judge whether they were committing treason 443 00:23:56,400 --> 00:23:58,880 on the left because it seems to be out of favor. 444 00:23:58,960 --> 00:24:01,279 Treason does see no matter if you don't really love 445 00:24:01,319 --> 00:24:04,039 the country, then actually doing things against it isn't treason 446 00:24:04,079 --> 00:24:05,440 as it's partisan. You know. 447 00:24:05,519 --> 00:24:08,039 Speaker 1: Stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things, 448 00:24:08,039 --> 00:24:11,480 to understand experiences.

Now I 470 00:25:19,839 --> 00:25:22,160 tend to agree with that in the most part. If 471 00:25:22,160 --> 00:25:25,039 you think I'm bashing, I'm looking for some semblance of 472 00:25:25,079 --> 00:25:28,400 sanity to return to the Democrats, they are unglued. You 473 00:25:28,400 --> 00:25:30,319 remember Nancy Plos. It is kind of I don't know 474 00:25:30,359 --> 00:25:33,319 where it started. I really don't. Maybe Ted Kennedy and 475 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:35,279 Chap Equittic, I don't know, leaving a woman in a 476 00:25:35,279 --> 00:25:37,200 car for four hours, or or Bill Clinton in the 477 00:25:37,240 --> 00:25:38,960 Oval office. I love it when they think that, you know, 478 00:25:39,039 --> 00:25:41,319 Elon Musk is doing bad things to the Oval office, 479 00:25:41,319 --> 00:25:46,640 but Monica Winsky didn't uh the way the hypocrisy of 480 00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:50,759 Democrats that and there are a lot of people on 481 00:25:50,799 --> 00:25:54,279 the right that would love to see revenge. In other words, 482 00:25:54,279 --> 00:25:57,200 they would love it, and it doesn't work. I don't 483 00:25:57,279 --> 00:26:00,079 like when politics, like when the Republicans in Raleigh they 484 00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:03,039 don't like what the Attorney General Jeff Jackson is doing, 485 00:26:03,279 --> 00:26:05,839 and then they'll go pass legislation because we're a Dylan 486 00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,160 rual state that they can control what the attorney general 487 00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:12,200 can do. So they say they'll pass legislation to hamster 488 00:26:12,400 --> 00:26:15,519 to pass a law to stop one of their political 489 00:26:15,599 --> 00:26:19,960 opponents from doing things. Now, this always backfires because ultimately 490 00:26:20,039 --> 00:26:21,920 there probably will be a Republican and there, and that 491 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:23,960 Republican will be hamstring. It's how we have such a 492 00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:27,960 weak Lieutenant governor. Now they've done these kind of things. 493 00:26:28,559 --> 00:26:31,039 They're partisan, and I don't like them. So if you 494 00:26:31,079 --> 00:26:33,960 think I'm just bashing Democrats, it's not that. There are 495 00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:36,720 many people on the right that want the Justice Department 496 00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,279 to act exactly how it did under the Biden administration 497 00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:44,279 and use it as a tool not of justice but 498 00:26:44,319 --> 00:26:48,039 of revenge, to go and incarcrate as many Democrats as 499 00:26:48,079 --> 00:26:50,880 they can now if they broke the law. I'm astounded 500 00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,839 the hunter Biden's story, but it is what it is. 501 00:26:54,839 --> 00:26:56,519 He pardoned, I mean, that's the way it works. I 502 00:26:56,519 --> 00:26:59,319 don't like it, but he pardoned his son. But that 503 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:01,519 doesn't mean he he can't tell. He means he actually 504 00:27:01,519 --> 00:27:04,880 can testify and can't plead the fifth before Congress because 505 00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,039 he's he can't be prosecuted, so can't be held against him. 506 00:27:08,480 --> 00:27:10,880 Can't claim the Fifth if you can't be prosecuted. So 507 00:27:11,759 --> 00:27:14,640 I don't like the idea of turning the Justice Department 508 00:27:14,720 --> 00:27:18,599 into an arm of GOP weaponization of justice. Now, the 509 00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:22,519 Democrats fully engaged in it. You saw that, and that's 510 00:27:22,519 --> 00:27:24,440 what you're hearing is a lot of people on the 511 00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,400 right that are going, my god, for the past eight years, 512 00:27:27,799 --> 00:27:31,319 you guys screamed Russia collusion wasn't true. You guys screamed 513 00:27:31,319 --> 00:27:34,039 Trump fell in and you found a court to do 514 00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:37,160 something and charge someone with something that's never been done. 515 00:27:37,920 --> 00:27:40,359 I mean only in law school has it been attempted. 516 00:27:40,359 --> 00:27:42,519 It's never been done in the history of the country anywhere. 517 00:27:42,799 --> 00:27:46,039 And they weaponized and kicked up to a federal level 518 00:27:46,079 --> 00:27:50,559 a misdemeanor and charged him. The stuff in Georgia has fallen. 519 00:27:50,559 --> 00:27:53,559 The Fanny Willis case has fallen apart, the Document's case 520 00:27:53,599 --> 00:27:56,839 has been thrown out. They fully engaged in the weaponization. 521 00:27:56,920 --> 00:28:00,519 If you pull enough resources and you go after If 522 00:28:00,519 --> 00:28:03,839 we were to take the entire power of the FBI 523 00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:09,200 and the Justice Department and go after you, I'm sure 524 00:28:10,000 --> 00:28:12,279 they could find something. There's a book called three Felonies 525 00:28:12,319 --> 00:28:15,200 a Day, which many folks in the conservative movement. If 526 00:28:15,400 --> 00:28:18,519 our laws are such now that almost every individual in 527 00:28:18,559 --> 00:28:21,200 the country commits about three felonies a day because of 528 00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:24,000 the way the laws can be interpreted and prosecuted and charged, 529 00:28:24,440 --> 00:28:26,759 It's it's obscene. It really is obscene. 530 00:28:26,799 --> 00:28:26,920 Speaker 3: Now. 531 00:28:26,960 --> 00:28:29,440 Speaker 2: I am not someone that wants to see that. I 532 00:28:29,559 --> 00:28:32,319 despise Adam Schiff. I think Adam Schiff is one of 533 00:28:32,359 --> 00:28:37,559 the most odious folks in Congress today, and now that 534 00:28:37,599 --> 00:28:39,839 he's in the Senate, hees worse than he was before. 535 00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:43,519 He's he's you think Donald Trump is lied? This guy's 536 00:28:43,519 --> 00:28:45,200 told him what he told the media he had the 537 00:28:45,200 --> 00:28:49,119 proof of Russia collusion. He said he had proof of treason. 538 00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:52,960 Not to mention a thousand other lives that Adam Schiff 539 00:28:53,000 --> 00:28:55,839 has said. And they continue in Jasmine Crockett saying it's 540 00:28:55,880 --> 00:28:58,640 not illegal to come into this country illegally, even the 541 00:28:58,640 --> 00:29:01,039 reader kind of and she's been corrected on every social 542 00:29:01,079 --> 00:29:05,359 media platform out there. It's reached a point that's why 543 00:29:05,359 --> 00:29:07,559 it's become so absurd. Don't think that the Democrats have 544 00:29:07,559 --> 00:29:10,440 stopped bashing. They know nothing but that I In fact, 545 00:29:10,559 --> 00:29:14,279 my argument is that Democrats should be engaged in policy disputes. 546 00:29:15,279 --> 00:29:19,039 Rather than say Trump is horrible on the border, why 547 00:29:19,079 --> 00:29:22,039 not put forth some ideas about ways to strengthen the country. 548 00:29:22,079 --> 00:29:25,920 Show Americans that you do care about the country. Rather 549 00:29:26,000 --> 00:29:30,559 than just bash him about aid for funding overseas. Why 550 00:29:30,599 --> 00:29:32,640 not say, hey, we do need destroy this is great. 551 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:38,400 If you want to win voters over, kind of adopt 552 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:41,000 some of the issues that they care about. But just 553 00:29:41,519 --> 00:29:45,640 the every time the Democrats scream about Trump, the Republicans 554 00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,799 pick up another million votes. He's over fifty one percent. 555 00:29:48,839 --> 00:29:51,920 He's the highest. I saw the polling today. I don't 556 00:29:51,960 --> 00:29:53,880 remember which one, but it was not. I mean, I 557 00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,960 try to screen them out for ultra left and ultra right. 558 00:29:56,079 --> 00:29:58,160 It's kind of a center of the road. Even for 559 00:29:58,240 --> 00:30:01,319 the CBS approval of Trump's speech, which would plenty of 560 00:30:01,400 --> 00:30:05,119 rhetoric in it, plenty of hyperbole. It's the way Trump speaks. 561 00:30:05,200 --> 00:30:10,240 The president. Seventy percent is sixty eight seventy percent approval. 562 00:30:10,279 --> 00:30:13,359 That's unfortunate. And the Democrats look horrible in that in 563 00:30:13,400 --> 00:30:15,319 the waving of the cane, the guy getting kicked out, 564 00:30:15,480 --> 00:30:17,799 the protests, and it was just it was bad form. 565 00:30:20,319 --> 00:30:24,960 So I don't think anyone wants to to just sit 566 00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:27,680 there and bash one party. But they've given up on 567 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:31,079 trying to lead. They've given up on having an agenda, 568 00:30:31,119 --> 00:30:33,559 they've given up on having leaders. I mean, the fact 569 00:30:33,599 --> 00:30:36,799 that Kamala Harris is considered a serious candidate for California's 570 00:30:36,799 --> 00:30:41,599 scubernatorial slot next year, it shows how remarkably unseerious the 571 00:30:41,599 --> 00:30:45,599 Democrats are. But anyway, I digress. Here's we get to 572 00:30:45,640 --> 00:30:46,599 the top of the are and now we're going to 573 00:30:46,599 --> 00:30:48,039 be into the next segment when I get to what 574 00:30:48,119 --> 00:30:51,319 I really want to talk about. So and I guess 575 00:30:51,359 --> 00:30:54,480 I will the Joe Biden scenario. And that's what I 576 00:30:54,480 --> 00:30:56,599 don't think many of you on the left don't realize 577 00:30:56,599 --> 00:30:59,759 that what you did during COVID to destroy education and 578 00:30:59,799 --> 00:31:02,599 life and do to kids that which did not need 579 00:31:02,640 --> 00:31:07,359 to be done. The way you politicized everything under the sun, 580 00:31:07,640 --> 00:31:10,039 there's going to be blowback for that. Don't sit here 581 00:31:10,039 --> 00:31:12,039 and go, oh, I don't like it when people are 582 00:31:12,079 --> 00:31:14,519 bashing the Democrats when that's all they've done for ten 583 00:31:14,599 --> 00:31:19,279 years is bash one person. And by the way, not 584 00:31:19,359 --> 00:31:21,599 just bash one person, but you'll remember the basket of 585 00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:25,240 deplorable's comment from Hillary Clinton. They bashed not just the 586 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:28,119 one person, but anyone that supported that one person, which 587 00:31:28,240 --> 00:31:31,000 just made the movement grow where the American public said, 588 00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,039 oh yeah, I'll show you remember all the people saying, oh, Donald, 589 00:31:34,039 --> 00:31:36,400 no one's going to Donald Trump's rallies. That's just inflated. 590 00:31:36,519 --> 00:31:39,119 That's just now they're bored. They're leaving it. They didn't 591 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,759 leave it. It built it built a movement like we've 592 00:31:41,799 --> 00:31:45,359 never seen for a presidential candidate, and I probably ever 593 00:31:45,599 --> 00:31:50,160 just about it is a phenomenon, one of the single 594 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,160 greatest come back in political history in the country. He's 595 00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,599 the Lazar Lazarus of American politics. 596 00:31:56,799 --> 00:31:59,119 Speaker 1: All right, that'll do it for this episode.
