Speaker 1 (00:03):
Is it okay that our neighbors are getting taken off
the streets by eyes? Is it okay that gender affirming
care is being taken from young people who really need.

Speaker 2 (00:11):
It to survive that question as a resounding yes, you know.

Speaker 3 (00:17):
I gotta tell you, it's the one time I've agreed
with Joseph Robin at Biden Junior seven oh four or five,
seven eleven ten. I'm Brett Whitterble sitting in for Brett
Wittable today. It's great to be back. Had a wonderful
time yesterday. We were doing a bunch of really cool stuff,
working on a number of different projects that you will

(00:37):
know about in due course. Okay, So do not try
to figure it out now. Is it is going to
be in due course. And that does not have anything
to do with the Michelin with the Michelin Award. Earlier
today I heard, I heard the restaurant is now very popular.
It's extraordinarily expensive, as it should be. I believe in

(01:00):
so many ways that restaurants should be more expensive and
more elite, but not to be targeted to anybody, but
you know, restaurants, Look, what is a restaurant? When you
think about a restaurant, you get a hole in the wall,
is it a is it possibly a cafeteria? Or sometimes

(01:22):
the older ladies would call it the cafetorium, which I
never understood that using a little bit of Latin. But
really I feel like restaurants should be much more elite.
I also think that people who drive on the seventy
seven North or South should be more elite too, and
understand how to drive and not have all these accidents

(01:43):
all the time. This is a perfectly beautiful day today,
clear skies, dry pavement, and we have idiots crashing cars.
Why is that happening? Why it is bright as day,
it's not the morning. Not everybody's tired from last night,
the night before. Why are people still having accidents on

(02:04):
the roads. I'm gonna tell you what it is. It's laziness.
It is laziness. People sit in that seat, they think
they can fiddle with the thing and the other thing.
Do not fiddle with the knob. You are on WBT.
You stay on WBT because there's no other station to
listen to but WBT. And I'm serious, that's not just

(02:26):
like a promo that's probably gonna emerge at some point.
But let me just tell you this. There's a lot
of stuff going on, and I know it's election day,
but here's the problem. Take you behind the behind the curtain.
Everybody in television, everybody in radio, everybody in print, in newspapers,

(02:50):
in blogs, they all know exactly the same thing. Nothing.
We don't get to know what's going on until the
polls close. So your job is to go and vote.
Our job is to sit back and to have conversations

(03:10):
with you between now and are you ready for this?
I've got a big surprise for you. I'm going to
be on till seven o'clock tonight and then Boe and
Beth and the incredible team is going to be coming
in here to break down all this sort of stuff.
So you just get to hang out with us, and
you're going to learn across the spectrum how important it
is to get out there and vote. If you want

(03:33):
to report back to us about how you know the
stylists went into the punch card or whatever it is
that they do, it's your place. Where I live, I
don't have an election like, there's nothing for me to
go do, but I can't wait till have you guys
heard about this coming up in the next couple of years,

(03:54):
and I don't know where it's supposed to happen, but
this is very very interesting. At one point in the
next couple of years, Isaac will be extremely happy about this.
You're gonna take a card and you're gonna scratch it,
and whatever it scratches, whatever the name is, that's the

(04:15):
vote for you. No, that's only probably in Philadelphia where
you get that, and all of those cards are exactly
identical because Frank Rizzo. But the fact of the matter is,
as as a host of the show here, everything is
fair game because I wasn't here. I want to thank
breaking Brett Jensen for coming in and sitting in for me.

(04:39):
I did a I did have a an occurrence that
I had to do, and I'm really happy that I
did because I learned a whole bunch of stuff and
later on down the way i'll share with you. But
I thought Brett Jensen did a tremendous job. I was
able to hear him and we were driving and doing
stuff like that. But I really think Manami is going

(05:00):
to win. I think he's going to win, and I
think the reason why Mundami's gonna win in New York
and I hope I'm wrong, Like I would be happy, happy,
happy if I am wrong, wrong, wrong, But I think
the way the spirits work, if you really want to

(05:21):
COMI taken over a big city, well then you know
what you're going to get, a COMI taken over a
big city. And I agree with President Trump. As I
was thinking about things and analyzing things yesterday, one of
the big issues is who pays for all the garbage

(05:41):
that these people are going to try to give to people.
I don't know. I don't know why you would want
this particular guy. I revile Mandami. I don't think he's
a good person. I don't think he's a good guy.
I think he's a dangerous element in the body politic.
And I think where you're going to see it, and

(06:03):
I'm sorry to have to say it, but when you
see him and he decides he wants to be a
smart guy, meaning in a bad way, when nine to
eleven comes up, I'm very curious to see how he's
going to handle it, because we know darn well that
this guy leans very very much not pro America. He

(06:27):
thinks that America is really not a great place. He
thinks a lot of himself and he's very wealthy. He's
never had a job. And I'm telling you right now,
when when you want to see, when you want to
see what the real Mundamie is, Let's wait and see
what the commemoration of of of nine to eleven, because

(06:50):
I'm telling you right now, he's gonna want to swallow
his face instead of going out and spending time with
people because he is he's he's a very slick customer.
But that's when the mask will be taken off. So

(07:19):
News Talk eleven ten three WBT, it's the Brettwerble Show.
Good to be with you. Okay, we get some messages
coming in here and we got to call on the board. Robert,
stay there for a second. I just want to I
don't want to fall behind. Right, this is what I
want to do, So Eddie says the mayoral candidate for
for York. Wait, I'm sorry, the mayoral candidate for New

(07:40):
York and New Jersey are both socialists and muslim. Wait wait,
New Jersey, Who's Chittarelli is not? And as far as
I know, Mickey Cheryl's not. I don't know. I have
to look that uIP. Socialism is just a tool to
get the vote of all the looters who want free stuff.

(08:03):
The real goal is to get Muslims in position of power, uh,
to slowly and quietly momentify the country. Okay, but here's
the thing. Everybody's got control over the vote. People can
vote one way, they can vote the other way. And
you know that's we've had people who are who are
Muslim in the country for you know, almost since the

(08:24):
earliest times of the of the country. It's it's not
about people and their faith. It's about people. I mean,
it is about their faith if they want to be radical.
But but it's you have the freedom to choose your religiosity, right,
I mean you you have that. Everybody's got that right.
But what you don't have is you know, taking over

(08:45):
territory and and and saying that you're not allowed to
be in this neighborhood or that neighborhood. I mean that
that that that is just atrocious, Like that's that's just horrible.
This one coming in. I don't I don't have a
name on this. It's a it's a it's a text number.
If we had cars like the Flintstones, we wouldn't have
as many accidents. Yaba daba do no you'll still have

(09:09):
as many accidents. It's just going to be incredibly slow accidents.
It's not going to be massive velocity that you're still
gonna have accidents, especially with the with the flintstone wheel.
That thing was heavy. Robert, Welcome to the program. What's
on your mind, Robert, Good.

Speaker 4 (09:26):
Afternoon, Brett. I agree. I think Brett Jensen did a
very good job yesterday in your stead as I'm pretty
sure he went for the whole three hours. But we're
very very happy that you're back today for four hours.
That's really where you belong, Brett. I think I speak
for a lot of people when I say that and
welcome back, sir.

Speaker 3 (09:47):
Well, I appreciate that very much. Thank you. That's very
kind of you.

Speaker 4 (09:51):
Yes, sir. Regarding Vice President Cheney, Yes, sir, I wrote
about this a couple of times today on Next and
I didn't put any any any howevers or butts in
there when I when I wrote that, I really think,
uh Dick Cheney did a very good job for the
country and for conservatives for for several decades. And I'm

(10:15):
just wondering what you think and also what you what
your recollections are from Rush and his thoughts about Vice
President and former Secretary of Defense Dick Cheney.

Speaker 3 (10:26):
Okay, So one of the one of the best funny
things that I ever remember Rush talking about with Dick
Cheney was this crazy lady and she was really crazy
and she was really a lady. And she called us
from Albany, New York, and she was screaming at Rush

(10:51):
Limbaugh okay, and she was screaming so loud it was
like distorting on the mic or on her phone. And
Rush had to keep saying to her because at this
point Rush Rush had had, you know, had lost his hearing. Okay,
So he's he's talking to to to this woman and
she's screaming, and when you scream into a phone, it

(11:14):
distorts all the sound and and so Rush is trying
to figure out what the heck she's talking about. And
he finally gets her relatively calm, and she says to
Rush because he says, tell me what your problem is.
And she said, Dick Cheney has a bad heart. Okay,

(11:35):
he has a bad heart, and and he that is
awful and he should not be vice president and this
is the worst possible thing. And then she pivots to
Rumsfeld and starts screaming about Donald Rumsfeld. She never really
went after Bush, okay, but this is all post nine
to eleven, and and she was screaming and screeching and

(11:58):
Rush said her, he's He finally got her to stop.
He said stop, stop, stop, stop, stop, and she stopped.
And he said, have you ever met Donald Rumsfeld or
Dick Cheney? And she said no. And he said, why
would you hate a person that you don't even know
by screaming on the radio like a lunatic? And she said, well,

(12:22):
I'm not a lunatic and he said no, no, no,
but you sound like one. And he said, I can't
have you get sick. And she kind of like fell
fell a little bit for Rush with that when he
said I can't have you get sick. And she's like really,
and Rush says, yes, I don't want you getting sick.

(12:44):
And she says, well, I didn't. I didn't think about
it from that perspective. And he said, because I can't
have my audience lose members, I need you to be
in the audience for the ratings and all that sort
of stuff. And she she didn't really get it. One
of the things I remember distinctly about what happened on

(13:07):
nine to eleven because I was there at w ABC.
Rush was off that day and we were trying to
figure out how we were going to put the show together.
And you know, Dick Cheney was a very instrumental person
in that regard. They didn't know if they were going
to be multiple strikes, you know, continuing throughout the day

(13:27):
and the night and that sort of stuff. And I
do remember the way Dick Cheney was. He was one
of these people where you you wouldn't want to get
in a fight with him. I don't think I think
he I think he was he had a little bit
of strength in him, and he would probably maybe go
send you to GIPM or something like that. But he

(13:49):
was Bush and Cheney and and he Card and all
of the people who were part of that and the
aftermath the attack on nine to eleven. They were the
people that I believed were in the right time, in
the right place. I can't imagine what a Lieberman Gore

(14:12):
ticket would have looked like after after nine to eleven,
and I don't and I don't know if we would
have found out really the backstory of nine to eleven,
because as we all remember, the backstory of nine to
eleven was Bill Clinton refused to attack the compound in
Afghanistan and it was believed, with high belief that that

(14:36):
Osama bin Laden was in that capacity there, and he
refused to send in cruise missiles because there was going
to be collateral damage. And at the end of the day,
the reason why we got hit by Osama bin Laden
was because Osama bin Laden had been planning for the
since the original Gulf War to hit the United States

(14:57):
of America, and he The one thing you can say
about Osama bin Laden, and it's very important that people
remember this so it doesn't disappear from history, Osama bin Laden,
it was an absolute fiend. He was a walking demon,
Okay if you want to look at him in all
of that sort of light, but you know what he was.
He was a guy who told you what he was
going to do, and when they did it, they took

(15:19):
credit for it. And that's the danger. You needed a
Dick Cheney, you needed a Donald Rumsfeld, you needed a
George Bush, You needed a Tenant, the guy who was
running the CIA. You needed men who would be willing
to do everything that they had to do to protect

(15:39):
the United States of America, and for all the differences
people had with Dick Cheney or anybody else, that man
was responsible for keeping the country safe throughout that entire time.
And that's what I have to say about it.

Speaker 4 (15:55):
I agree, I would kind of leave the rights, and
they're also.

Speaker 3 (15:58):
Absolutelyolutely you couldn't do it without all of those people, man,
And that's one hundred percent right. Thanks Robert, great, great call, man.
I appreciate the call. See, I love this song. We

(16:25):
could have played dirty deeds, done dirt cheap, but this
works perfectly. Turned that thing out for me. There we go.
It is a long way to the top if you
want to rock and roll, it is true. How did
you go into a show and see if bond Scott

(16:53):
This is Chitterrelli's walk up song for the tonight. Getting
had Getting took a little motivation for you people out
there driving around in the traffic. Just behave yourselves. Don't speak,

(17:15):
don't speak, go a couple of calm down seven oh
four or five, seven eleven ten. Pam Bondy, Pam Bundy,
Pam Bundy. Did you see what Pam Bondy reported out
here in the last couple of hours. Pam Bondy Jack

(17:39):
Smith that dirty filthy needs a shave. Rascal. Jack Smith
seized Donald Trump's government issued phone subpoenaed all of his
calls in an unprecedented action. Murky Garland, Merrick Garland needs

(18:01):
to go to prison. Jack Smith needs to go to
do not come back with me and say they were
just following orders. I saw what Nuremberg looked like. That
was just following orders in Nuremberg. This was a choice.
This was a guy trying to make sure that Donald

(18:22):
Trump would never ever ever have a chance to run
for the office again. And I'm telling you, I hope
Jack Smith takes every possible bad road move because this
guy's going to go to jail. And I think Joe
Biden could go to jail, and I think that Christopher

(18:42):
Ray could go to jail. I think all of them
could be locked up because this is insane. Attorney General
Pam Bondi on Tuesday That's Today said that the Biden
era freak show. Okay, my comment. Special Counsel Jack Smith

(19:03):
subpoenaed President Donald Trump's personal phone records as well as
his government issued phone as part of its investigation into
January sixth. Oh so what do you say, we go
get Jack Smith. Listen, Cash Patel. I'm calling this specifically
to you, Cash Patel. I want you to subpoena Jack

(19:26):
Smith's phone. You need to take his phone. Now, that's
how we that's how we play this game. During the
Arctic Frost investigation. That is such a Jack Smith name,
like it should be like rolling Tide, rolling Thunder, big tough,
bad stuff, you know, But this guy is Arctic frost.

(19:50):
You want to know why. You want to know why.
I think the dude's frigid Arctic frost. We found the
Special Council seized President Trump's government issued phone. Now, why
is this such a big deal? Why is winnerbul getting
really upset about this because of this? You know how
many people Donald Trump probably talked to that had nothing

(20:13):
to do with any of this. And the plan was
going to have that freak Merrick Garland come in and
start throwing these guys against the wall. This is unprecedented,
this is wrong, this is evil, and I'm calling on
Cash Battel. Cash Battel, go in subpoena Joe Biden's phone.

(20:35):
Go do exactly what Jack Smith tried to do. Jack
Smith's a weirdo. I mean, you could see the weirdoness
with that guy. And I don't even like I was
not in favor of J six. I didn't want to
see violence. Coach and I were on there the same day.
We were broadcasting the entire time, and we were saying, Okay,
this is really bad, this is terrible, this is awful.

(20:56):
But when you started getting at and two and Verizon
and all these companies just handing over the records, when
you had these people at Bank of America who were
giving all that documentary information about anybody who was in Washington,

(21:17):
d C. On January sixth without even a sapena. You
know how many people who were in DC wanting to
be there just to see the history, just to see
the stuff, just to do that, and then they got
all wound up. You suddenly have this guy with a
crew cut haircut and he knocks on the door. Why

(21:40):
were you in Washington, D C? Last month? I don't know,
because it was going to be the voting, the voting
to see if the presidency was going to be decided
for Trump or for Biden. Yeah, well can you prove that.
Let's take your phone, let's look at that. This is
how you lose confidence in the system them, period, full stop.

(22:02):
Pam Bondy said, during the Arctic Frost investigation, we found
that special Council seized President Trump's government issued phone. This
means the Biden administration turned over President Trump's phone to
a special council, which is an unprecedented action. So, Pam,

(22:25):
if you want to get even, if you want to
get even subpoena all their just take all the phone records,
take them and then put them on a website where
we can all see who was talking to Joe Biden,
who was talking to Jack Smith, who was talking to
you know, Christopher Ray, who's talking to Americ Garland. Maybe
we'd find out more about how it was that they
were spying, how they were spying inside the Catholic churches,

(22:50):
because clearly Joe Biden and company did not like the
Catholics because they were pro life. That was I mean,
that was established, that was understood. Undy's revelation is the
latest exposure of the investigation into the protests. In January sixth,
so we're supposed to believe that Smith, Jack Smith issued

(23:15):
one hundred and ninety seven subpoenas to thirty four individuals
and one hundred and sixty three entities. I'll guarantee you,
as the Lord is my is my is my shepherd,
I will tell you it's ten times as much. They
were spying on every human being that they could get
they could get on. Remember what was I was trying

(23:36):
to think about this, Isaac. I'm sitting here and I'm saying,
you rent lots of cabins? How many cabins you rent?
You ever rent a cabin? I never rented a cabin.
How many cabins do you rent? What about that?

Speaker 2 (23:49):
Oh?

Speaker 3 (23:49):
No, no, it's fanny, fancy Fanny, fancy Fanny with the cabins.
How do you pay for those cabins?

Speaker 5 (24:00):
Carefully?

Speaker 3 (24:02):
Non sequential travelers checks? No, I don't know. I don't know.
By the way, by the womb. Whokay check this out.

Speaker 6 (24:11):
Now.

Speaker 3 (24:12):
Senajudiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley, who's one hundred and forty
seven years old, but gosh, he's still a very effective guy,
found that eight Senators and one House lawmaker were sub
Peanut as part of Arctic Frost. Lawmakers have moved now,
this is great. Lawmakers have moved now to impeach Judge

(24:39):
James Bisbag. James Bosberg, who authorized the spying of the lawmakers.
This guy is gonna be sharing an eight x ten
cell with Jack Smith. News Talk eleven, ten, ninety nine

(25:07):
three WBT Brett Winterbow Show seven O four five seven
zero eleven ten. All right, let's let's jump into some
some other sort of stuff that we've got. Uh that
I'm that I'm really excited about I've got I've got
you know, I've got superb sound. I have superb sound
that we should we We're gonna we're gonna listen to

(25:28):
some of this sound. I think we should we should
utilize this. Well, are you are you good with that?
Are you good with that? Mister producer over there? Are
you are you okay? Okay, he's good, He's good with this?
All right? Uh, al right, here we go. You heard
in the beginning of the program, Nancy Pelosi. Nancy Pelosi,

(25:50):
she seems to be suffering. I don't understand why. She's
made a lot of money, She's had a lot of power.
I mean, what is she cranky about. She's still got
Trump on the brain? Cut number four, Nancy Pelosi is suffering.

Speaker 7 (26:05):
Go to s a vile creature, the worst thing among
the face of the earth.

Speaker 8 (26:10):
But any way, you think he's the worst thing on
the face of the earth.

Speaker 3 (26:13):
I do, yeah, I do.

Speaker 7 (26:14):
Why is that because he's the President of the United
States and he does not honor the Constitution of the
United States. In fact, he's turned the Supreme Court into
a row court. He's abolished the House of Representatives, he's
chilled the press. He's chilled the press. He's scared people

(26:35):
who are in our country legally.

Speaker 3 (26:40):
I mean, that's pretty that's pretty thin gruel right there.
That is pretty thin gruel. Here's the thing that Speaker Pelosi,
former Speaker Emeritus, as they always call her, Donald Trump
does not have the power to put Supreme Court justices

(27:03):
on the court. I don't know if she knows that.
The Senate does that. The Senate makes those decisions. It's
not it's not Donald Trump. Donald Trump says, yeah, I
want this person to go up on the court. The
people vote, they go yay or they go nay. That's

(27:24):
the entirety of the entire process. But she she thinks
that the president is this omnipotent person. If you want
to look at a person who would be regarded as omnipotent,
or if you wanted to say, was absolutely with total power.
Wait till about three thirty five tomorrow morning and Gavin

(27:48):
Newso taking over the entirety of the Congressional Caucus, of
the Congressional Group from the United States of America, because
that he is he is unilaterally using this, this this
game to get rid of conservatives. He doesn't want any

(28:09):
conservatives in the state of California. And the first move
on that, I mean really, first they came for the congressman.
Then they came for the businesses. Then they came for
the ability to educate children. Then they came for the
ability to chart your own course. Then they came for

(28:34):
whatever comes next. But I'm telling you, if you want
to see a tyrant, Nancy, Fancy Nancy, you want to
see a tyrant, that is Gavin P. Newsome the third
right there, Gavin P. Newsome the third. Why is he
the third? I don't know. He maybe thinks is the

(28:56):
other end of the government. But she's out of her mind.
She can't even give credit for the deal with Hamas
getting hostages released. She can't even understand the deals that
have been cut to have other countries willing to work
with us on a variety of subjects, including, but not

(29:17):
limited to, Mexico. Mexico. I know, I know, it's a
very weird kind of dynamic. But Nancy Pelosi doesn't understand
that Donald Trump is not all potent. He's not a potentate,
he's not any of that kind of stuff. That's you.

(29:38):
You came from hard scrabble Baltimore, and you got married
to your husband, and somehow someway when you started climbing
up the congressional ladder, you got more money, more money,
more money, more money, more money, mo money, that's what
you got. How did you do that? And how much

(29:59):
of that loot or lucre? How much of that luker
did you ever kind of dole out to the poverty stricken?
They're in Satin? Friendfrico, Like, why did you never go
out there with a bucket of money and say, listen,
go get yourself something to eat, Go get yourself a shave,
go take care of your children. All this stuff. No,

(30:21):
because Nancy Pelosi, Nancy de la Sandro Pelosi doesn't much
like people.

Speaker 5 (30:35):
She likes the.

Speaker 3 (30:35):
People who can do things for her or will do
things for her, but she doesn't like people. And that's
weird for a politician, right, like you see, and I'll
i'll be I'll be a partial but not totally partial.

(30:57):
Go back to the Joe Biden days when Joe Biden's
still had his fastball, when he was working for Barack Obama.
Joe Biden genuinely enjoyed the rough and tumble and the
going back and forth in terms of the politics of
the day. Donald Trump likes it as well. Nancy Pelosi.
If you want to know what Nancy Pelosi is, Nancy

(31:18):
Pelosi does not like to do retail politicking. She wants
to be an authoritarian. News Talk eleven, ten, nine to

(31:50):
three WBT. Alright, I'm gonna come local here for a
quick second. I want to talk about this for a
moment because I think we all understand what we're what
we're doing here on this big blue marble, right, okay,
and we all understand certain things like, for example, do

(32:12):
you feel safe here in Charlotte? Do you feel safe
when you're driving around out and about nighttime, daytime, whatever
time of the day it is, do you feel safe?
And the reason why I want to frame it this
way because it's about the election that's taking place here

(32:34):
today and I'm not trying to call you. I'm not
trying to tell you how to vote. Okay, I don't
do that. I'm not going to tell you how to vote.
You have to make your own decision because I don't
want that responsibility. So if if and I'm just gonna
I'm just making an argument here, and if you want
to blow it up, you can come and take it,
take a shot at it. That's fine. So the incumbent

(32:58):
is Mayor Vylyiles. The challenger is Terry Donovan, right, is
it Terry Donovan? I think It'sterry Donovan.

Speaker 9 (33:07):
Right.

Speaker 3 (33:08):
If Vi Liles bears some burden of trouble because of
the violence that's taken place in the streets of our city,
and she gets re elected, what does that say to

(33:30):
not just Charlotte, but the broader communities around who come
in If Terry Donovan does not win, does that say
to the broader community that safety and security is not
a priority, Because clearly we heard from Terry Donovan that

(33:53):
we have got to clamp down, get the things right,
do all this sort of stuff that has to happen.
So it's an if or or, it's an either or
either the current incumbent person who is in the position
in Vivilyiles position, and you have this group of people,

(34:14):
you might pick up what one or two Republicans out
of this grouping? What does that say to the rest
of the country. Does that have a negative effect? Now,
if you vote for Vilyiles, you might be doing it
because you think, you know, she's a great ambassador for
the community. She's somebody who's been around, who understands things,

(34:36):
all that sort of stuff. There's that possibility, right, But
then what if we go on the other side of this,
If Terry Donovan wins the election, will the people on
the council will they thwart safety and security measures? What
does that say? See, this is the thing that people

(34:59):
don't ever talk talk about. They say, Okay, how are
you going to vote? I'm voting for Mundami, I'm voting
for Curtis, I'm voting for Cuomo. That's why? Okay? Why? Well,
because Mondami. You know, if Mandami got asked, he'd say,
because I want to give everything away for free, and
I want to make you people straighten up and fly
right according to my beliefs. Cuomo is, oh my gosh,

(35:22):
we have to pick him because he actually kind of
knows how to run things. Curtis Leewa is somebody that
I think many people I know him personally, many people
like him, but they don't think he can win.

Speaker 10 (35:32):
Right.

Speaker 3 (35:32):
So, there's all those different sort of dynamics that are
happening in New York. That's what's happening in New Jersey,
that's what's happening in Virginia, all that sort of Shenanigan
stuff that goes on. And you can do this with
any of these races that are happening, right You can
do this and say, Okay, clearly, if you vote for
the incumbent, it means that you like the current safety

(35:58):
package that exists right now. If you don't vote for
that particular person, the incumbent, it means you care more
about the safety and the security of our community. But
is that really true? What does it say about somebody
who votes for whatever person that's standing for the position.

(36:23):
Because this is not all in a vacuum. This is
not all in a vacuum. There's a reason why people
decide to go and vote for Vylyles. There's a reason
why Terry Donovan got people voting for her. People on
the council all that sort of stuff. You know, there's
all these different sort of things that are parts of this.

(36:47):
I have a third option, though, I have a third option,
and I think this is probably more realistic than anything else,
and it's it's how we've always done it, so we're
always going to do it that way, or hey, you know,

(37:10):
we have to do this because dot dot dot whatever
that is. And I think people they go in there,
it's wrote, it's comfortable, it's not risky. You just say, well,
I'm just gonna go ahead and vote and pull this lever. Boom,
there we go, and the thing continues to go on.
The interesting part of this is you now have a

(37:33):
brand new police chief. She has the ability to change
the package of enforcement. But we also understand that there
are people who are going to say, don't rock the boat,

(37:54):
just do what's always been done because it's always been
done that way. I think that's a very dangerous not
like you're going to die dangerous, but I think that's
a very difficult thing to do. Because I believe that
leaders who want to lead, they want to come in
and change things. You've seen that with Barack Obama, You've

(38:17):
seen that with George W.

Speaker 5 (38:20):
Bush.

Speaker 3 (38:20):
You've seen that with Donald Trump. You see it at
every one of these turns. So the question is it
going to be business as usual or will it possibly
be business unusual? And what does your vote Republican, Democrat,

(38:41):
whatever it is, what does that say about you? And
what do you hope it says about you? Twenty minutes
after the hour of four o'clock, it's great to be
with you. Seven h four five seven zero eleven ten.
All right. We got to feedback coming in off my

(39:03):
question just a few minutes ago. The idea of what
does it say about your vote if you vote this
person or that person or that. A lot of people
are concerned about safety and security and it's not something
that goes by lightly. I totally believe that. One person,
Deborah said, I definitely do not feel safe uptown. I've
had two incidents with homeless people. Somebody else opining saying

(39:31):
do I feel safe? Absolutely not. The city of Charlotte
used to be a safe place, but these elected folks
have failed miserably with their lack of accountability, failed policies
from the top on down. The corruption has poisoned the
well out of Charlotte. We are moving out Buddy says.

(39:56):
Buddy says, that grocery store sound clip that you played
sounds like they think food comes from the grocery store,
not from the farmers that sell food to the stores.
Those are the people that can't comprehend living off the land. Yes,
that is very true. People believe that the groceries come

(40:18):
prepackaged in the field. That's exactly what it is. And
I've known people who have thought that sort of stuff.
Mark says, the reason Democrats look at voters as the unwashed,
stupid voters is because the voters keep voting them back in,
so they must be stupid, otherwise they would be out
of office. Well, you have to have something to beat something, right,

(40:42):
and if you don't have something to beat something, then
what's going to happen? Dave says, I think Lyles is
going to win or however you say her name, because
of all the money going to the minority group she
is helping, supporting and representing. Wow. But she's got to
be the mayor of everybody though, And that's and that's
just a that's just a fact for so many people.

(41:05):
This one is somebody out of Huntersville. But I don't know.
I don't have a name on it. Sadly too true
from a former elected official in town in Mecklenburg and
cms educated, so say they. So there's a lot of
cynicism here. There's a lot of belief that like, hey,
this is not going to get fixed anytime soon. But again,

(41:27):
you have to have something to beat somebody with, right,
you have to have a person who's going out there there.
There are so many people like if you if you
went and this is what is so interesting to me,
if you went to New York with the Mandami thing
and that that whole saga that's going on, or Chittarelli
in New Jersey, or or obviously what you have going

(41:50):
on in Virginia. All you have to do is get
somebody who can run. All you have to do is
get somebody who can run, and they have to be
serviceable and they have to not be scandalous. So remember
who was who was the last normal mayor in New

(42:11):
York City? Does anybody remember who the last normal I'm
just going normal mayor. I'm not even saying great mayor.
What normal mayor was the last mayor? I'll give you
a hint. He has time? What Yeah, Bloomberg early Bloomberg. Okay, right,

(42:32):
very good. So I'm watching Bloomberg News earlier today. I
go through all the channels because Isaac tells me I
have to have a lot of content. So I'm watching
the coverage coming out of the Bloomberg News organization, and
they had to do a disclaimer at the end of

(42:53):
the hour. And the disclaimer was the anchor saying, we
have to disclose that mayor, former mayor and owner of
Bloomberg News, Mike Bloomberg, spent twenty eight point two million

(43:15):
dollars trying to get Cuomo elected. So the reason why
I raised this is, Okay, Bloomberg is a billionaire's billionaire's billionaire.
I mean, he is such a he's a huge He's
got so much money, right, He's still trying to save
his city like he could. He didn't have to write

(43:37):
a twenty million dollar check, but he did because he
knows what cities that collapse look like. Ralph, Welcome to
the program. What's on your mind, Ralph?

Speaker 6 (43:52):
Well, you know, I'm more focused right now in the
local Charlotte races, which and I live in another county.
But as I seen the writing on the wall for
at a long time ago, over over forty years ago.
But I'm hoping that Peacock and the lady that's running

(44:12):
from mayor, they seem to have a lot of money
left over, and I hope they use social media to
get out to all the young voters and independent voters
that Sean is not safe and not to exploit in
a manner demeaning the young lady's death on the White Rail,

(44:35):
but they need to. They should have blew that out
of the water. That was one of the biggest things Trump.
You got across to the young people and we got
to keep this locomotive train going, you know, do what
works and everything keeping on pushing on down a track.
But yeah, I mean I heard earlier today on Peace

(44:57):
Show on the news we had large sums of money
they didn't new and everything, and so that was like
an October eighth. I don't know, you know, if they
blew it up in the end, you would think they
would have, but uh, you know this this is we're
in a crisis and if we don't and even though

(45:18):
we're in surrounding counties, we've got to take note that
what when I first moved over to the county, I'm
in and everything. My house got broke into and it
was games out Charlotte, and and so they didn't have
a police pursued. The police were behind them, and because
they did, they got up to high speech to.

Speaker 11 (45:38):
Let them go.

Speaker 3 (45:38):
That's horrible, that is horrible. Let me ask you, let
me ask you a question really quick. I've only got
like thirty seconds. When was the last time you felt
safe in Charlotte? Well, give me a year, give me
a year, give me a year.

Speaker 6 (45:52):
Okay, probably fifteen, twenty years ago, fifteen, you.

Speaker 3 (45:55):
Know, Okay, all right, now, I'm just it's it's it's
just a pole question and that I'm asking. So I
appreciate you being out there, Ralph. I always enjoy our conversations.
My friend said, News Talk eleven ten nine three WBT,

(46:20):
Well you got shumered again today. I don't know if
you guys have ever experienced a schumering, but you just
got schumreed. Senate Democrats blocked Republicans' attempts to reopen the
government for a fourteenth time, all but ensuring that the
government shut down becomes the longest in US history. The
move to again reject the house past continuing resolution comes

(46:42):
as wins of optimism and exhaustion have swept through the
Upper Chamber. Lawmakers are engaging in more by partisan talks
and more believe that there's an off ramp in site. Okay,
but let me tell you the bad news about this.
The Chuck Schumer wants to withhold snap food money. Chuck

(47:06):
Schumer wants to do everything but legislate. Okay, he doesn't
want to do any of the work. Here's the problem.
This is a specially choreographed effort. And I'm going to
tell you exactly what is going to happen, and you're
going to watch this, and it's going to happen over
the next couple of weeks. All right, So they get

(47:28):
back in. Let's say it's a perfect scenario that they
are able to get the government up and running, say
by a week from now. Okay, a week from now,
so that puts us at the eleventh, right, the eleventh
of November. Let's say that a budget passes like Let's

(47:51):
say that they get the they were able to restart
the negotiations. That money is only going to be good
for about two and a half three weeks, and then
Chuck Schumer is intending to shut the government down again.
And he's trying to say it's Donald Trump's fault. So

(48:15):
Chuck Schumer is maybe the most dangerous man to the
democracy because he's a dictator. He's a dictator. He's acting
like a dictator even though he's in the minority, but
he has that power. He's a dictator. That's essentially what
he's doing. Because what's gonna happen is whatever they pass,

(48:38):
Like let's say they pass it next week on the eleventh,
the budget is only gonna run until I think November
the twenty second. Was that when Kennedy was assassinated. I
think that was when Kennedy was assessinated November the twenty second,
And Chuck Schumer's gonna shut it all down again. He's

(49:00):
a dictator. Hakeem Jeffries is a dictator. These people, they
don't want normal business to be going here. It's unbelievable
when you think about this. This is what the plan is.
Schumer does not want President Trump to be able to
govern at all because he's a dictator and he doesn't

(49:24):
have any real power except for blocking people. So here's
what I think needs to happen. The necessity thing that
has to happen right now, is this. They have got
to start running commercials and have Chuck Schumer in every
commercial that he's in there, laughing, hooting, hollering, all that

(49:47):
kind of stuff. And you have to target these senators
in these states to break with Chuck Schumer because Chuck
Schumer is the most dangerous person in all of Washington,
DC right now, because he's the guy who if you
could think about this for a minute, the money, the
food money, the stuff that's going on with the Obamacare stuff,

(50:12):
all of that, I want you to imagine in your
mind's eye, Chuck Schumer standing next to a bed. He's
standing next to a bed, and laying in the bed
is the American economy. What Chuck is doing is he's
going in there every chance he can and he's pinching.
He's pinching the oxygen off of the economy. And so

(50:39):
every time that happens, we have a deleterious outcome. And
so Chuck Schumer, I mean, it's totally fitting for him
because he's one of these people that doesn't want to
get anything right. He wants to pretend that he's the
real president. Now, this is a problem, and it's a

(51:04):
major problem because what Chuck Schumer is going to do okay,
is he's going to keep saying okay, yeah we have
a deal. No we don't have a deal. Yeah we
do have a deal. No we don't have a deal.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, Democrat New York, the dictator
in chief, and his Democratic caucus are still largely entrenched

(51:28):
in their position. Unless an ironclad deal on expiring Obamacare
subsidies is struck, they will not open the government. So
that means old people, old people, poor people, they're not

(51:48):
going to get what they need. The food is being
denied by Chuck Schumer because you know, you've seen Chuck Schumer.
He doesn't even know how to flip a burger. During
a speech on the Senate floor, Schumer squarely placed the

(52:08):
blame for the healthcare issue on Republicans and President Donald
Trump as Americans got notices of increased premiums over the weekend.
Chuck Schumer is responsible for this. He's a dictator. The
only plan Republicans have for healthcare seems to be to
eliminate it. That's Chuck Schumer lying to the American people.

(52:30):
That's Chuck Schumer pinching, pinching the oxygen flow to the economy.
Chuck Schumer is going to need to be investigated at
some point because somebody is in his ear telling the
American people that they're not deserving of food or medicine

(52:50):
or safety. And unfortunately, at some point a plane is
going to fall out of the sky and it's going
to be the Schumer catastrophe. I hope after they get
through all of this, I sincerely hope that he is forced,

(53:11):
that he is forced from the position, and that he
will have to stand trial or something like that in
the Senate. He needs to be because he's torturing innocent people.
The Republicans have said it repeatedly for thirty five days
that they want to reopen the government and immediately have

(53:37):
the conversation about the premiums. Schumer will not let them
do that. You know what that is. That is anti
that is anti progress. That is a horrible thing. And
every person that ends up starving getting sicker, they're going

(53:57):
to be the ones who are responsible. Chuck Schumer has
put the word out that Democrats are not to work
with the Republican Party. Why why this is a problem.
But when you've got Schumer, you've got nothing. What would

(54:27):
it look like, if Donald Trump just shut the government
down by himself, what would people call him? What would
people call him? You know what it is? It's exactly right.
It's the this is the problem. But everybody wants to
make sure that things are going to be okay except
for a certain constituency of people. And I want to
give you a couple examples of this. All right, this

(54:49):
is going to be cut number five. I'm gonna call
for cut number five. Amanda. Amanda was at the uh
Fox News studios earlier today. They asked what she wanted
to have happened cut number five. Amanda.

Speaker 1 (55:08):
I think what's really important in standing out for me
right now is if we can take ourselves like a
high level like not say immigration, not say economy, not
say all the hot talking points, and just ask ourselves,
how are we treating our neighbors? Like how are we
treating one another? And is it okay that yesterday on Saturday,
forty two million of our neighbors no longer can feed themselves?

Speaker 3 (55:30):
It is okay?

Speaker 1 (55:31):
Is it okay that our neighbors are getting taken off
the streets by ice? Is it okay that gender affirming
care is being taken from young people who really needed
to survive. Is it okay that the Supreme Court has
now justified racial profiling. That's not how I want to
treat my neighbor.

Speaker 3 (55:49):
So in order, what was forty two million people are
not getting food, illegals need to get stuff, gender affirming care,
and what was the other one? There was a third
or fourth? I can't remember it. Okay, the money can
flow very easily if Chuck Schumer opens up the government,

(56:10):
and you would be able to feed the people who
are starving right now. If you were to just let
forty million people remain or twenty million people remain in
the United States who should be deported, that would create
more pressure for people who are dealing with food scarcity.

(56:30):
And we shouldn't have to have food scarcity. Chuck Schumer
took the food off the table for these people. That's
the problem because he wants to move the fence post.
But look, there are a lot of very reasonable people.
This is going to be cut number six. There are
many many reasonable people out there, especially when it comes
to some of the policies that are being made now.

(56:52):
I would love if I had the means and the ways.
I would absolutely love to go spend time in Montana,
and I've been there one time in my life and
it was a beautiful place. They're very kind, happy people,
nice people, really good people, and they're very very much
about good governance, like being a good leader for good policies.

(57:18):
And in fact, you have Tim Sheehy who's a first
term Republican senator, and he ran into one of his
constituents and the constituent had things to say to Tim Sheehey,
and I said to myself, I said, Wow, this is
going to be a really interesting conversation. They don't necessarily agree,
but I bet they're going to be able to work

(57:39):
it out.

Speaker 9 (57:39):
Go.

Speaker 12 (57:40):
Hi face is Haley mcgath. I'm the constituent in Helena, Montana,
and I just wanted to let you know that you
are the most insufferable kind of calendar thief. You just
stripped away healthcare for seventeen million Americans, and I hope
you're really proud of that. I hope that what you
get pancreatic cancer and it spreads throughout your body so
fast you can't even treat you for it. I hope

(58:02):
that you die in the street like a dog. I
one day you're gonna live to regret this. I hope
that your children never forgive you. I hope that you
are infernal. I hope you never managed to do a
bonner ever. Again, you are the worst piece of it
I've ever, ever, ever had the misfortune of looking at.

(58:26):
And you don't serve montanas. You serve your own private interests.
All that you have done since you've gotten into power
is a do for yourself. God forbid that you ever
meet me on the streets, because I will make you
regret it.

Speaker 2 (58:40):
You.

Speaker 12 (58:41):
I hope you die.

Speaker 3 (58:44):
Huh Wow, that that's that's not what I expected to hear.
I expected that it was like, Hey, everything is going
to be good. But I guess I guess I should
have just shut it down after she declared that he
needed to have this very specific disease in pancreatic cancer.

(59:10):
You know, you see, this is how people get weaponized.
The people themselves become weaponized. They decide that they're going
to call an elected official say that on the air,
expecting that it will never be heard by the light
of day. Who thinks that way, I'll tell you exactly

(59:34):
who thinks that way. Irrational people who do not want
to seek a fix. What they want is to seek
your demise. Now, I understand there's a lot of heat
getting generated right now, but here's the reality. Let's pretend.

(59:57):
Let's project forward in the next couple of hours. Okay,
just for the purposes of argument, Mandami takes over New
York City, Mikey Cheryl takes over New Jersey, Abigail Spanberger

(01:00:21):
takes over Virginia. In your mind, can you see them
being happy with those wins? You can't because winning is
never enough for this constituency. The radical nature, the anger,

(01:00:43):
the decision to say I want to pump bullets into
babies like that wacko running for the attorney general job
they're in in Virginia. They're never happy. You could give
them a one hundred percent tax break and tax every
Christian in America one hundred percent, and they would still

(01:01:06):
not be happy. What they want is your sh What
they want is your Dmsee. They want our nation's demise.
Because because a man who took power in the Senate

(01:01:32):
called Schumer is there saving grace moving forward. They think
Chuck has this. They don't realize that it is one
hundred percent fools.

Speaker 12 (01:01:49):
Gold.

Speaker 13 (01:01:53):
Let the bodies hit the floor. Let the bodies hit
the floor. Let the bodies the floor, Let the bodies
hit the.

Speaker 3 (01:02:08):
News Talk eleven ed did I three WBT? That was
by request, That was by request by Dana. That's right,
that's it. It's good. We got good stuff going on
out here. Seven four five, seven eleven ten. Everything is
fair game. I'm gonna be here all the way until
we get up to the seven o'clock hour, and then

(01:02:29):
we're gonna begin our election coverage with so many great
talented folks, not the least of which are are our
Bo Thompson, Beth Troutman, Kenny Smith's gonna come in a
bunch of other folks. And so that's why we didn't
do the crossing of the streams here today, because we
are getting all this stuff. You know, everybody's like kind

(01:02:50):
of hitting the ground, running and looking for the different
angles and the things that are out there happening. So
if you have a take, if you have a thought,
if you want to reach out, absolute reach out seven
o four five seven zero eleven ten, what was your
number one issue if you voted, if you're if you've
not yet voted, what is the issue that that that
is most important to you? Where are you most excited about?

(01:03:13):
What are you least excited about? With all of the
stuff that we are seeing, So certainly you can you
can feel free to go and look at all that
all that great stuff that we have, that is that
is happening. So seven o four five, seven, zero eleven ten,
and we we love hearing from the peeps. So let's
let's go over here. I want to give you a

(01:03:34):
little bit of sound. I add some sound in that
last hour. I want to do a little more sound
in this hour as well, because this is how you
get the texture of of what's happening out there. Okay,
this is a very very important election. Uh it's going
to have impacts for a variety of different places. But
let me let me give you somebody that you had

(01:03:56):
not maybe heard from in a in a month of Sundays,
guy named Steve Bannon. Steve Bannon, this is gonna be
cutting number seven. He says this about this upcoming fight,
and this is Steve Bannon cut number seven.

Speaker 8 (01:04:11):
I've got no problem with them playing smash mouth. We're
playing smash mouth. There's not a debating society. We're not
in some salon in the Upper East Side over some
Tea and martiniz. Oh, well, you know that's what the
National Review, That's what all these guys are jc out
there this weekend, condemning everybody. Just like remember remember they're

(01:04:32):
the biggest never Trump group out there. They had the Santas.
They were all set up to pull the Santas thing
as their operation. So please spare me, Please spare me
what you're gonna do. Okay, please please spare me your
definition of what MAGA is.

Speaker 2 (01:04:47):
Okay.

Speaker 8 (01:04:47):
We've been in the trenches with MAGA from the beginning.
When you guys hated Trump initially, you hate Trump all
the time. It's some when he's doing something for you.
Mark Levin, he just nothing but hot air.

Speaker 3 (01:04:56):
Oh wow, shots fired at Mark Levin. He's taken some incoming.
Uh l l lately. Let me jump out and take
this call from Carmen. Carmen, welcome to the program. What's
on your mind, sir?

Speaker 14 (01:05:11):
I just wanted to make a comment regarding the one
cent increase in the sales tax sure and the fact
the fact that before we even entertain a sales tax,
I just believe that they should show us that they're
collecting the proper revenue from the writers that we're getting now,
and then once you show that to the people, then

(01:05:31):
we could talk about additional funding after that, because I
personally don't trust the government to be able to do
anything right to tell you the truth, somehow, it's going
to get goofed up.

Speaker 3 (01:05:39):
Okay, So let me that's my Let me ask you
a question about that that you you've you've swerved to something.
Are you a Are you a native Charlottean? No am I? Okay,
I'm nor am I nor am I? So this is
this is interesting. I understand that people like the idea
of of the one cent tax, and you know, they
want to try to say that, well, this is going

(01:06:00):
to help us be more mobile and all this sort
of sort of stuff that goes on with this sort
of thing. But I mean, the reality is, until we
can see what you just said, obviously, where's this money
going exactly, how is it going exactly, how is it
getting posted out there? We need to see a plan
for that. Because I know it's a penny, that's all
it is, or it's a half a penny, or it's

(01:06:22):
a penny or whatever it's going to be. You and
I both know it's going to grow exponentially, and somebody's
gonna end up getting the benefits that are not called
Carmen and Brett correct.

Speaker 14 (01:06:35):
Correct, And not to completely change the subject, but to
divert to another way. I happen to live in Megilber County,
and many times I deal with seventy seven now where
I come from. When you need to widen a highway.

Speaker 3 (01:06:49):
Yes, you would bond the thing and widen the highway.

Speaker 14 (01:06:51):
Yes, who's going to widen a highway and then have
tolls on it? To me, that's a stupid thing that
the state had to begin with. They'd never said have
done that both the bond and just paid or like
everybody else does.

Speaker 3 (01:07:01):
That's exactly right, but no, we have to do it
all you know, complicated and special and all that sort
of thing. And and the fact of the matter is
by the time you would you would be do the
build out, it's going to be obsolete by the time
it's all done. And and that is the big that's the.

Speaker 14 (01:07:19):
Problem guarantee, because the government's operated because every need to
do is obsolete when they finish it. I mean, they
can't build a school now. They can't build a school
out of being the right size when it's time for
the sooners to come in.

Speaker 3 (01:07:30):
That's exactly right. And then and then you find out
there's molding the thing and the and the traps are
not working right and all that. I mean, this is
this is the problem I think with with Civics. We
we put a whole lot of faith, you know, magically
uh into into the Civics idea that oh, we should
do this, and we'll build that and we'll build the

(01:07:51):
other thing. But what we need to know is what's
the downstream, what's going to happen down the road, when
when there's going to be a problem, uh or or
or whatever it is. For me, I'm right there with you, carbon.

Speaker 14 (01:08:05):
Yes, I need to know what's going on. And to
quote a gentleman that used to work with me and
who used to work part time at a funeral home,
he used to say, the municipality couldn't run a one
car funeral. That's great, man, A lot of truth to
be said for that, you know, Carmon.

Speaker 3 (01:08:20):
I appreciate your wisdom.

Speaker 9 (01:08:21):
Man.

Speaker 3 (01:08:22):
Thanks for calling in and call back anytime. All right,
you have a wonderful day. Absolutely, Look, this is this
is I opened my show complaining about people getting in
crashes on the on the roads, and I you know
what I I don't. I don't understand. I don't understand.
For first of all, okay, if if you're out there

(01:08:46):
traveling to and from, all right, you need to be
paying attention. The only thing you need is WBT on
the radio. That's it. You don't need to mess around.
Don't look at your phone, don't be texting, don't doing
any of that. You have the ability to fire up WBT,
and that's what you should be doing, because we're gonna

(01:09:08):
find out where you go. You go, here, there, everywhere.
That's what's important. And unfortunately the people decide they're gonna
get fancy. Let me hear that Billy Joel song. Let
me drop my phone. Oh it fell in my Now
it's under the seat. Now I'm going down to get
the phone from under the seat. No, you don't do that.
You do it the way it always worked and the

(01:09:29):
way it works WBT draft dig Beth Troutman joining us
here on the program. You got election coverage tonight. What's

(01:09:50):
going on, Beth Troutman? What is happening in your world?

Speaker 15 (01:09:54):
Yeah?

Speaker 16 (01:09:55):
Hello there, Well, both Thompson and I are the bookends
of WBT today at our morning show this morning from
six to ten, and we'll be doing election night coverage
from seven to ten pm. So I'll get to see
you in just a bit as we come in to
start the coverage. But I mean, so much going on
here locally, but we also have some national races that

(01:10:15):
we're going to keep our eyes on. I know that
you've been talking about, Mom, Donnie. We also have the
governor's race in Virginia and the governor's race in New Jersey,
which will of course give us some indication I think
a little bit of insight into what we might can
expect to see in the midterms in twenty twenty six.

Speaker 2 (01:10:34):
Just kind of a.

Speaker 16 (01:10:34):
Preview, a little bit of a highlight. But here in Charlotte,
you've got the one cent sales tax referendum. You have
the potential that Edwin Peacock could be a Republican that
finally cracks into the at large seat as a Republicans.
As far as municipal elections go, I think this one

(01:10:56):
is a pretty excited one. I went and voted at
about eleven o'clock this morning after the show was over,
and I was number two hundred and thirty three.

Speaker 3 (01:11:03):
At my wow, Wow, that's big. I mean, that's people
got got up early to do that that stuff.

Speaker 16 (01:11:08):
Yeah, I mean I was. I was surprised because when
we talked with Andy Doolan, who was at a polling
place over in District six, which is Christaph Baccari's the
district that she's running in Tart Bacari's former seat, there
were only eleven people had had voted at that point.
But that was of course at about seven fifteen seven
twenty this morning, so hopefully those numbers picked up.

Speaker 3 (01:11:27):
Is there are there any outliers that you're looking at
that you're saying, oh, this is going to be interesting
for me tonight. You know, I got a taka or
anything like that, or is there is there anything that
you're you're looking at, say beyond the mech area.

Speaker 16 (01:11:43):
Yeah, I will tell you the the mayoral race in
Concord is a fascinating one. They've they've had a pretty
interesting political scene over the last year and a half
two years, but they have two Republicans running for mayor.
You have Lori Clay and you have Morris Steven Morris.
The two of them are both well known Republicans. However,

(01:12:05):
Lori Clay has been on the city council for about
eighteen months. Morris was the head of the County Commission.
He has deep political roots there, but is more of
a centrist Republican. And this is kind of really a
race that showcases not only the division that we see
between Democrats and Republicans, but also theras some of the

(01:12:26):
division that has happened a little bit within the Republican
party that has been going on for a while there
in the Concord area. So that's going to be an
interesting mayoral race. And we're actually going to have Scott Paget,
who was the former mayor of Concord, on the show
this evening to give us kind of a preview and
what he's seeing and what he's expecting as he watches
those results come in. He actually joined us on the

(01:12:48):
show this morning to talk a little bit about that race.

Speaker 3 (01:12:50):
Now, wait, you might be able Okay, So with the
coverage tonight, right, you might be able to pick up
like all the bigs, because you've got obviously what's going
on here in Charlotte, you've also got New York City,
You've got you've got a Virginia, Virginia and of course,

(01:13:11):
obviously Chittarelli versus Mikey Cheryl there in New Jersey. And
it might be that you might be able to call
the referendum out in Cali.

Speaker 17 (01:13:24):
Well, when you come in the morning, well, definitely, when
we come in in the morning, would we get up
at three thirty, we might be able to call rip
the referendum in California.

Speaker 16 (01:13:36):
But I'm really interested to see what happens in New
Jersey and in Virginia, because if you think about Virginia,
I mean you have Earl Sears the Republican candidate, and
then Spanberger as the Democratic candidate. And this person, this governor,
is going to be the first female governor of Virginia
because you get two women running against each other. So
you have obviously the first woman. But what's really fastating

(01:14:00):
is how the Attorney General plays into this race, because
remember the Attorney General had some text messages that were
a little violent, and its people have been responding to
how Democrats have responded to that text message that was lead.

Speaker 3 (01:14:17):
Yeah, well that that's a huge, huge, huge thing in
that regard. And and look, we we would have to do.
We have to give props because New Jersey has had
a a female governor in Christy Todd Whitman. Uh back
back a million years ago.

Speaker 16 (01:14:34):
But you know, Mikey Cheryl might be the next Mikey Cheryl.

Speaker 3 (01:14:37):
Might be the next one. I mean, is this entirely possible?

Speaker 2 (01:14:39):
Uh?

Speaker 3 (01:14:40):
What what is your go to when when you're because
I'm just asking in terms of craft, right, what is
your go to when you're doing this sort of thing?
Obviously you've you've done it for for television, You've done
it for radio. How do you how do you kind
of set up your your your guideposts and stuff like

(01:15:02):
that with the different storylines?

Speaker 16 (01:15:04):
I mean, how do I what do I have on
my computer?

Speaker 2 (01:15:06):
Spree yea give it moment?

Speaker 3 (01:15:08):
Just give us one. Just give us one so people
can say, oh, I got to check it out myself.

Speaker 5 (01:15:12):
What do you do?

Speaker 16 (01:15:14):
I always have the Board of Elections website up, and
I refresh and refresh and refresh and refresh to keep
seeing how the numbers are coming in. But because I
was an anchor at NBC, I tend to have NBC
up to see how their numbers are coming in. But
I'll always have a p I'll always have reiters. I'll
always have a CNN and a Fox open just to

(01:15:35):
see how different people are covering different races and to
see what kind of predictions are coming in. And if
you ever watch you know, CNBC or MSNBC, you've got
the guy you know that that that that takes his
tie off and he gets there with his board and
he's like drawn all over the map and he gets
super intense and those those that's always interesting to watch
because he's pretty good at predicting how things are going
to go.

Speaker 3 (01:15:55):
Great stuff. So listen, the coverage is going to begin
at seven o'clock, right right right at the end of
the of the six o'clock hour. And I can't wait
to see you guys. And it's gonna be a lot
of fun. And I'll jump in at some point later
on in the evening. And it's it's great to talk
to you, my friend.

Speaker 16 (01:16:11):
Yeah, well, I appreciate you moving things around for me.
You are a gentleman and a scholar.

Speaker 3 (01:16:15):
Well, I listen, we are both scholar. We are both scholars. Okay,
how about that, but only one of us is a gentleman,
but lady a gentle lady. All right, Thanks to be
safe driving. We'll talk to you soon. You got it.
News Talk eleven, ed ninety nine three WBT. When we
come back, I want to talk to Philip, and I

(01:16:36):
want to talk to a couple of other folk who
have some opinions. Perhaps you've been thinking about this, marinating
in this. Maybe you're a Mundami supporter, Maybe you're somebody
who's supporting the Democratic ticket the whole way down. This
is a place to have a conversation. This is not
We're not We're not trying to lock anybody out or
anything like that, except if that Chuck Schumer comes by

(01:16:57):
and knocks on the door, I'm gonna give him eyes.
I'm gonna be like, what are you doing? Open the
government up, Chuck, you gotta get you, gotta open it up, Chuck,
What are you doing? Because this is so bad, it's awful.
The people are panicking.

Speaker 5 (01:17:08):
I don't know.

Speaker 3 (01:17:09):
People are making crazy phone calls to each other. Stop it.
We're all brushing our teeth, dudes. Talk eleven w et

(01:17:36):
Brett Water. We'll show all right, let's talk to Philip next. Philip,
welcome to the program.

Speaker 2 (01:17:42):
How you doing today.

Speaker 3 (01:17:43):
I'm doing great, Thanks for calling.

Speaker 18 (01:17:45):
Good good. I'm a fifty year listener.

Speaker 3 (01:17:48):
Wow, that's great.

Speaker 18 (01:17:51):
Yeah, I mean I've lived here all my life, but
I just wanted to call and ask you our candidates
to give like T shirts and stuff like that people
coming to vote.

Speaker 3 (01:18:07):
Well, so is it outside of the of the place
or inside of the place, because inside you're not supposed
to do anything. So outside, yeah you can, yes, but
you're not. My understanding is you're not supposed to wear
political stuff on you when you go into the the

(01:18:29):
Holy of holies there where you vote. Right, But it
depends on, you know, it depends on how how rigorous
that's going to be. So like if you if you
walked out and you said, you know, you made your vote,
you got the sticker on your shirt, and somebody hands
you a shirt, then yeah, I mean you can take
that right that you've already voted. I think the other

(01:18:50):
way around is probably more, probably more more of a
problem in that regard. Did you what did you get?

Speaker 14 (01:18:58):
What did they give you?

Speaker 3 (01:18:59):
What they get you?

Speaker 18 (01:19:00):
Well, there wasn't to me. It's just as I was
pulling up, I was seeing being them give T shirts
to people, and I feel like I was seeing them
walk right in after getting a T shirt. But I
didn't pay in that part no attention. Yeah, but I
was just really wondering if you were allowed to get
that kind of stuff away.

Speaker 3 (01:19:17):
Yeah. Usually they've got like a they've got a perimeter. Yeah,
usually they've got like a perimeter where you're not supposed
to be, you know, handing stuff.

Speaker 18 (01:19:25):
Yeah, they had all that. Yeah, they had all that.

Speaker 3 (01:19:27):
Yeah.

Speaker 18 (01:19:28):
But like I said, I would just call them and
see if they were allowed to do that or not,
and I'll pay more attention. I might go back there
here in a little while to see it.

Speaker 3 (01:19:35):
Oh that's cool. Yeah, give us a give us an
update as to how you know, what the what the
turnout looks like? Right about that? Okay, definitely, thanks Philip.
I appreciate it.

Speaker 2 (01:19:45):
Thank you.

Speaker 3 (01:19:46):
Be safe, you too. Man. All right, this isn't this
is something not political at all, or maybe it is.
I don't know. Check this out. We don't blame them.
Pull into any parking lot and it's a sea of
gray scale SUVs with the same sweeping led eyebrows and

(01:20:11):
bloated body lines. What is that? What are they talking about?
Here's what they're talking about. Sixty percent of gen Z
wants a classic car because the new ones are too boring.
Is this true. Now, hold on a second, Hold on, Isaac,
are you are you a gen Z? You're a gen

(01:20:33):
Z right, aren't you a gen Z? Yes? Okay, So
why do the gen Zs? I mean, I know you
don't know all the gen Zs in the world, but
why do the gen Zs want an older car? Because
they're saying they want a classic car because new ones
are too boring? What about all the technology and the
good stuff you got? Yeah, I mean, I'm with them.

(01:20:55):
I'm with them.

Speaker 15 (01:20:56):
I like the old school, and you know, there's a
bunch of different reasons. I don't know about the boring look.
I think some new ones do have some good looks
to them. But I want something I can work on,
you know. I want something that I can get under
the hood and fix a problem if I have it,
or you know, do whatever I may do to it.

Speaker 3 (01:21:12):
But with the new ones, you just can't do it.
You don't like all those computers and stuff that they've
got inside them? Now, No, I hate them. No, I
hate them actually because you could wreck your whole system
by not doing it right exactly exactly.

Speaker 15 (01:21:24):
And I've ran into this problem with My dad has
a tractor and it's got all the new bells and whistles,
and you'll have some like the tractor will be running
fine and everything's operating fine, but you'll you know, a
switch will have gone bad or whatever it may be,
and there'll be some safety precaution in there. Thats just
locked the whole thing down and you have to take
it off and get it fixed.

Speaker 3 (01:21:43):
That's why you gotta have AI No, no, no, all right.
So I appreciate I appreciate that and that analysis because
because here's what I'm gonna do. Now, listen to this.
By any measure, modern cars are starting to look a
little too much alike. A Hondas c RV looks like
a Hyundai Tucson. A BMW X five looks a lot

(01:22:06):
like an Alpha Romeo SUV. Maybe that's why the next
wave of car enthusiasts, gen Z, is quietly falling for
the classics instead. So according to Haggarty's twenty twenty four
Future of Driving survey, sixty percent of gen Z respondents

(01:22:31):
said they are interested in owning a classic car. Now,
let me tell you this is interesting. Like, for example,
I I know a couple of young youngsters. I know
a few youngsters who want a K car, Chrysler K car,

(01:22:58):
like what the Feds used to drive around in big cities.

Speaker 5 (01:23:03):
No, they have it.

Speaker 3 (01:23:05):
Come on, come on, you know what about Leiyahkoca. My
father had a CA car, I mean a car.

Speaker 2 (01:23:13):
We had a CA car when I was in high school,
and then we then we upgraded the little baron, which
was a CA car with a land out top.

Speaker 3 (01:23:19):
That's amazing. That is fantastic. You're giving it up. That's
nearly double the rate of the baby boomers. The data
hints at a cultural shift. Young drivers ISAAC are drawn
to older cars because it makes them feel much more alive.

(01:23:45):
Seriously alive.

Speaker 15 (01:23:49):
I've driven my grandpa's old Buick Grand Sport.

Speaker 3 (01:23:52):
Yeah yeah, it makes you feel way, makes you feel alive.
Yeah that's good. How about a Fierro? How about a Fierro? No?
No good pass. Seventy seven percent of gen z ors
say they love or like driving, and many are already
already own enthusiast cars like a like a Pinto. No,

(01:24:18):
I own a geo tracker. A geo tracker, What is
up with that? Yeah? Man, nice, Hold on a minute,
I've just been offered something. It's absolutely incredible. Uh yeah,
I got a you don't want that? A LA car?
Very good, A LA car for the LABAD. Seventy seven
percent of gen z say they like driving, and many

(01:24:40):
already own enthusiast cars. There's just not scrolling car tent
in the cars. So what are you gonna scroll with?
How are you gonna scroll? I you know that's a
that's a nice thing. You want that? How about a
Ford Fiesta Pass with the stick? Oh dude, I won't.

(01:25:01):
We need the stick. We need to bring this stick back.
Why is the stick important? Do you know? Does anybody
in this room know why the stick is so important?
It is the most effective anti theft device in the
world because people do not have to drive. You have
to hit that little switch. No, no, you don't know that. Well,

(01:25:31):
we got a lot of good action having have.

Speaker 9 (01:25:35):
You heard the story of the hot rod race with
the Fords and the Leggers were set in the past.
That story is true. I'm here to say I was
driving that Model AIDS. It's got a Lincoln motor and
it's really souped up bat model AID body miss It
looked like a pub's got eight cylinders and use them all.
Got overdrive, just won't stall with.

Speaker 2 (01:25:54):
A four barrel car.

Speaker 9 (01:25:55):
When a dueling sauce with four even gears, you can
really get lost. Got safety tubes, but I ain't scared.
The rigs good tires fair. There you got out of
in paedro late one ninth and the moon and the
stars was shining bright. We was driving up great fine hill,
passing cars like they was standing still.

Speaker 3 (01:26:11):
See the kids want this? But do they want the music? Bads?

Speaker 5 (01:26:16):
What you know?

Speaker 3 (01:26:17):
What your tailors swift? Alanis Morris said.

Speaker 9 (01:26:20):
It was sudden in the wink of an eye, Catallaca
Dan passed. The spy said, boys, it's marked from me.
By then the tail light was all you could see
now the fellaw's ribben for being behind. So I thought
I had made the Lincoln unwines. My foot off the
gas and man alive. I shoved it on down into overdrive,
wounded up to one hundred and ten. Mustadometers said that

(01:26:41):
I hit the top end.

Speaker 3 (01:26:42):
My foot was blue.

Speaker 9 (01:26:42):
I calmed the floor that's all it is, and there
ain't no more.

Speaker 16 (01:26:47):
Now.

Speaker 3 (01:26:47):
The boys all thought.

Speaker 9 (01:26:48):
Lost my sense and telephone poles looked like a picket fence.
They said, slow down, I see spots the lines on
the road just looked like that.

Speaker 3 (01:26:54):
I mean, that's it, ladies. Yeah, you have the people
that want to get that they want to get, they
want to get that feel, they want to love that feel.
That's that's hugely important if you've got the means. Matt,
welcome to the program. What's on your mind?

Speaker 6 (01:27:09):
Matt?

Speaker 11 (01:27:10):
Hey, Britt, I told you a call screener. I want
to talk about the sales text, but it would be
okay if I talked about your last second about the cars.

Speaker 3 (01:27:18):
Yes, please go for it.

Speaker 11 (01:27:19):
He listen. You know, I'm a mechanics I'm a car guy,
so that just kind of caught my attention. Nice You're
you're really great at what you do. You but you
suggested the five worst pieces in junk ever to roll
off the assembly line. What the only thing, the only
thing you left out was a chavette and that hugo.
You're talking about fort Fiesta's and pintos, And I mean,

(01:27:44):
what are you trying to do to the guy?

Speaker 3 (01:27:47):
Well, listen, I I look, I was that was for effect, right,
that was I'm trying to put him down. I'm trying
to put him down gently here, you know, And what
about the Suzuki. The Zuki Samurai. How about that we did?
Can we do that?

Speaker 11 (01:28:01):
They make a good motor, Yes they do, But no
the Ford Pinto that was didn't they aren't they the
ones that blew up when they got an Actually.

Speaker 3 (01:28:10):
Yeah, yeah, yeah it was. It's true. Also, I want
a corvet too, So there we go.

Speaker 11 (01:28:15):
So let's say, yeah, that's a danger that was labeled
the most dangerous car.

Speaker 3 (01:28:19):
That's right, true, Wow, that's right.

Speaker 11 (01:28:21):
Way man. You got you guys got a lot of
calling with the elections and everything, but uh, that that
stuff in New York's real scary. Man.

Speaker 3 (01:28:28):
Well listen, Uh, here's the question I have for you,
because when you when you think about this, is it
is it? Is it a fate of complete or do
you think that they will pull it out of the dive?
Like do you think that somehow, some way you end
up with Mundami not winning that race.

Speaker 11 (01:28:45):
Let's just hope and pray that he doesn't. I mean,
there's no good to come for that. If anybody can
show me a good example of somebody with his mindset
running in government that has succeeded, please let me know.
But I just don't. I don't see New York succeeding
with him in office. That that that's that's scary.

Speaker 14 (01:29:03):
Matt.

Speaker 3 (01:29:04):
You're the man, dude. I appreciate you calling today. He
was a great, great contact man. I mean, you got

Speaker 3 (01:29:27):
Virginia polls close at seven pm. We've got New York City.

Uh.

Speaker 3 (01:29:37):
We're going to keep an eye on like all of
these different uh sort of situations that are in front
of us. But let me let me point something out here. Okay,
we have a vested interest, a huge vested interest in
dealing with the uh, the situation we have with Mundami,

(01:29:59):
because it's not just New York that is going to
feel it. It is us. We are going to feel it.
We are going to feel it.

people on election night. A moment of silence. Moment of
silence for the passing of Dick Cheney, vice President of
the United States, passing away at the age of eighty four.

(01:31:43):
I always say this, when people pass away, the grudges
gotta stop, unless they're absolute killers. All right, But the
fact of the matter is he did his duties. You
may have approved, you may have disapproved, but he has
passed away and is likely receiving his eternal reward. Elections tonight.

(01:32:11):
I'm not optimistic nationally, But I don't worry that we
won't be safe. I think we're going to be okay
no matter what happens. But why are we ignoring Jay
Jones who wanted to murder kids? Does he still feel
this way? I don't know the difference between the Democrats

(01:32:34):
and the Republicans. The liberals and the Democrats engaged a
number of different things. They've tried to pull out all
the stops to try to get people to come to
their way of thinking. But I don't believe. I don't
believe in a post lockdown COVID world that people want

(01:32:54):
to surrender their liberties and freedoms. The Democrats came up
with a clever strategy, a leading by the ladies' strategy, Spanberger, Mikey, Sheryl,
and people down ballot. This is what is curious to me.

(01:33:16):
This is what is interesting to me. Will they be
able to pull this out? I don't know. That's the challenge,
that's the problem. But I do know that an elderly
man sitting in New York City or in Washington, DC,

(01:33:39):
in Chuck Schumer, is attempting to take out the American
economy and by extension, the American brand and by extension,
the American people. He is somebody who wants to look
like he's on board and in charge. But this is

(01:34:01):
a fearful institution that we have going on on the
left side of the border. This is the problem. The
American people made their choice, not a year ago. They
made their choice. And the fact of the matter is,
we need to get this thing going, We need to

(01:34:25):
get this thing righted, We need to do all the
things that need to be accomplished. And so each and
every cycle we have the opportunity to change things. But
what happens when the changes you seek to make are

(01:34:46):
trying to occur at the time that the change has
already been put into protection. What do you mean by that?
What do you mean by that? Brett? What I mean
by that is What I mean by that is Donald
Trump is the change agent. Are we changing back to

(01:35:09):
Barack Hussein Obama or Joe Hussein Biden or Kamala Harris?
Are we supposed to turn back to that failed economic picture?
Because the change agent is actually Donald Trump, Donald Trump
and JD. Vance. And the only way, the only way
you are going to get this thing changed back is

(01:35:32):
if Chuck Schumer decides to play ball, but Chuck Schumer
does not want to play ball, and it ripples down
to every corner of the country, making us less safe,
making us more agitated, making us less trusting of government.

(01:35:53):
In the reality of Chuck Schumer, Chuck Schumer is doing
his best effort to create enough controversy that he somehow
parachutes into relevant land. He's not relevant. He's the minority
leader of the United States Senate. He has no power

(01:36:16):
over any part of the government, but his people, and
what is needed are patriots who are willing to leave
Chuck Schumer on the curb while they go and do
the real work to get people their snap benefits, to
get people, to get people their health care, to get

(01:36:40):
people what they need. Chuck Schumer's answer is a resounding, ugly,
loud New York voice saying, no, I will punish you
if you try to stop me from wrecking the economy. Now,

(01:37:05):
it's hard to say that, because you would never want
an American politician to try to destroy the American economy.
And yet Chuck Schumer, a very small man, a man
that doesn't believe in the norms and the values of
the country, wants to punish you because he says you

(01:37:29):
voted the wrong way. So I ask this question to
Chuck Schumer. Chuck, when Mundami loses, are you going to
self immolate in the world of politics? Are you going
to lose your mind again? What is going to happen?

(01:37:50):
Coming up? Coming up? Two big stories that have no
political leaning either way. News Talk eleven nine three WBT

(01:38:13):
Brett Waterable Show. Good to be with you. Let me
grab this call Mike, Daisy's on the hold. Mike, Welcome
to the program. What are you thinking about?

Speaker 19 (01:38:22):
Today?

Speaker 3 (01:38:22):
Is election day in a variety of places.

Speaker 2 (01:38:26):
Hello, Brett, I am thinking about, well, I'm thinking about
for the better part of twenty years, I used to
be right where you are right now on election night,
and so it's always on election night, which is always
a great night on WBT. I was fortunate enough to
be the token Democrat to come in and give some
analysis along with Kenny Smith and various others through the years,

(01:38:48):
and it's always always great coverage. I think David Howard
is stepping in as a Democrat tonight and he'll do
an absolutely fantastic job. I believe he's the guy who's
coming in starting at seven o'clock and I know you
will be sticking around.

Speaker 3 (01:39:01):
Uh yeah, you know, yeah, I'm I'm I'm actually I'm
kind of like just doing the show extended by an
hour and then uh, the election coverage starts at seven,
and I'll be I'll be watching, uh and listening to
the coverage and stuff like that. I'll probably I'll probably
jump in in the like nine o'clock hour or something
like that. So yeah, I mean, it's it's it. Look,
I think it's a very interesting what what what particular

(01:39:24):
race do you have have your eye on there?

Speaker 2 (01:39:28):
Mike, Well, that was funny. I was actually asking Isaac
I was gonna ask you the same thing, but the
one that gonna be watching. But I'm frankly don't think
it's as important as folks making out to be. Is
in fact in New York mayor's race, because you know,
Mandami is is you know, one mayor in one city,

(01:39:51):
and he's not gonna be all that powerful anyway. Anything
any changes he wants to do in terms of taxes
and everything else, he's gonna have to go through all
the new and all. But I think he becomes much
more important frankly from the right wing conservative commentators than
he actually is in real life. But I get it.

(01:40:12):
Somebody a Muslim who calls himself a democratic socialist is
easy fodder for Fox News and others to come in
and say, oh, the sky is falling and the world's
falling apart, when in fact that's not I don't think
that's what he's gonna be the case now. I think
he's likely to win, and I think he's likely to

(01:40:35):
get a lot of attention, more on the right than
from the left. But that'll be an interesting race to watch.
And then the bookends of that, going from east all
the way to the west is to see what happens
in California. And my prediction is the top fifty is
gonna win. I think it's gonna win pretty handily. And

(01:40:57):
the thing that it will be interesting to see is,
you know, how newsom uh pulls out of that and
whether his you know, how much his image is going
to rise, and how much of his how much more
credibility will he get from the Democratic side than he's
you know, than he's already getting. Because you know, we're

(01:41:19):
exactly a year out away from the midterms, and right
now the strategy is not just policies breath. But it's
also very much unfortunately in my view, Uh how how
how successful are politicians picking their voters versus the other
way around, And we're just we're in a big war now,

(01:41:42):
uh since Texas started. Now the Democrats are having to
come in and feel like they've got to complement and respond,
and I think it's I think he gets lost in
that frankly, Or are the voters because they become, you know,
less relevant because you know again, well, I.

Speaker 3 (01:41:59):
Mean, look, so what so what we have? What we
have happening in California. I mean, I lived in California
for a lot of years. This is a purge. This
is a purge of of of Republicans. They don't you
will never you will. I don't think you'll ever see
a Republican elected in California in any way, shape or form.

(01:42:19):
But the problem is we're going to have those people
bleeding out into other states that are going to contaminate,
you know what the American people are trying to accomplish
in a in a in a way that you know,
the state of California, the state of California is lost
in the same way that New York City is basically

(01:42:40):
lost at this stage of the game. And if Mondami
does get elected, I think you're going to see a
big outflow of people, probably initially going into either New
Jersey or or coming down into the South. But but
the fact of the matter is there there is no penalty.
You can never lay levy a penalty on people for

(01:43:01):
making stupid decisions. And then they don't have to stay
in that in that state for a particular amount of time.
They can they can just wreck the state and then
move on to another state to wreck it. And I
think in a lot of ways you're seeing an insurgency
that that's taking place. One thing that I thought was
very curious about you there when we were talking and
it was this about me. I am, I am, I

(01:43:24):
am surprised. I am surprised that with this female power dynamic, right,
Mikey Cheryl, Mikey Cheryl and and uh Spanberger, how come
you've never called for a a female to be the
mayor of New York and instead we've brought somebody in

(01:43:45):
from across the pond to come in and try to
take that mantle. Why why, why, why has a woman
not become a governor mayor in New York City. Why
what's the problem with that?

Speaker 2 (01:43:59):
And I'm I don't think there's I don't think there's
a problem with that, except other you know that a woman,
I don't know that a woman has has has run
for the office, but you know, certainly not in the
way that Mandami has in this past year, because you know,
for for good or ill, uh, he certainly has captured

(01:44:20):
a lot of people.

Speaker 3 (01:44:22):
And part part of communism is sexy. I mean, like,
let's be honest, communism is sexy, and that's they're certainly
going to get a full a full boat of it.

Speaker 2 (01:44:30):
Well, you know, I think what he's talking about is
in fact a lot of the affordability issues because right now,
you know, regardless of where you are, uh, things are
becoming at least for a major part of the population
less and less affordable. We've got you know, what they
call a K a K economy, meaning the folks at

(01:44:52):
the upper end have done very very well. Folks the
lower end are really struggling.

Speaker 3 (01:44:59):
That is that is true. That is true. And so
I want you to make a promise to me that
you're going to pick up the phone and call Chuck
Schumer and tell him to put the Senate back together,
because that's the problem. I appreciate it. Thanks so much,
Mike Newstalk eleven, ten ninety nine to three WBT. Let's
check in with Anna Ericson with the update.

Speaker 20 (01:45:19):
Hey, thanks, Brad. Voters in the Charlotte area heading to
the polls on this election day, wbt's Brandon Dixon and
East Charlotte telling us about the turnout there.

Speaker 19 (01:45:27):
While odd number years Tennessee sports turnout, the voting locations
set up at JH. Gunn Elementary School in East Charlotte
may be the exception to the rule. Minute by minute,
an hour by hour, a steady flow of traffic enters
the school parking lot as voters make their way to
the ballot box. While the extra penny sales tax for
mass transit has something to do with that, there's still

(01:45:49):
plenty of people performing their civic duty as a city
votes for mayor, city council, and school board races, amongst others.
And as an added incentive, voters are encouraged to take
a free bag of mandarins after casting their ballot Live
from Precinct two to one A Niece Charlotte, Brandy Dixon,
WBT News.

Speaker 20 (01:46:07):
Polls closed in about an hour, and election coverage begins
in thirty minutes here on WBT. The government shutdown continues
after the Senate voted against a Republican bill for the
fourteenth time, and Americans are starting to feel the effects
ahead of the holidays. Pennsylvania Senator John Fetterman urging his
fellow Democrats to put their country first and vote to
reopen the government.

Speaker 10 (01:46:27):
We need five more to agree. This has gone too
long and it needs to end. And everyone needs deserves
to get paid, and we want to make sure everyone
gets fed, and now we are sending the wrong message
at this point.

Speaker 20 (01:46:40):
Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says cancelations and delays will continue
amid the shutdown, and even proposed closing airspace. The Trump
administration is paying half of snap benefits after it was
ordered last week to use emergency funds to keep providing foodstamps.
The nation's forty six Vice President, Dick Cheney has died.
House Speaker by John's and offering his condolences, Hey giving

(01:47:02):
praise for Chene's a legacy.

Speaker 11 (01:47:03):
Big Cheney served as Vice president, He served as a
Secretary of Defense. He served as a Congressman of course from.

Speaker 10 (01:47:10):
Wyoming and as the youngest chief of staff to.

Speaker 3 (01:47:51):
News Talk eleven ten nine three WBT Brett Waterboll Show,
Good to be with you, Extended extended edition coming up
the top of the hour. Were going to get some
polls closing. I got twenty three minutes for Virginia. It's
probably similar on the other ends of the spectrum, so
we are certainly going to keep an eye on that.
Let's check in with Brian next. Brian, Welcome to the show.

Speaker 16 (01:48:13):
How you doing.

Speaker 3 (01:48:14):
I'm doing well. Thanks.

Speaker 21 (01:48:16):
Yeah. I was wanting to find out how long will
it be before the Republican party that's running the country
now will start to take possibility for their action and
their decision because it seems like everything that goes on now. Oh,
Joe Biden, Joe Biden, Joe Biden. So I was I
was wanting to find out that.

Speaker 3 (01:48:37):
That's interesting because I haven't I haven't really, I mean,
I used Joe Biden's name only talking about the leadership position.
I don't really talk a lot about Joe Biden, So
I mean, that's that's kind of interesting to me. Go ahead, Well, well.

Speaker 21 (01:48:50):
Well, well, I'm just saying, if you listen to your show,
and you listen to Donald Trump. He's always talking about
Joe Biden. Joe Bidy, Okay, but.

Speaker 3 (01:48:57):
Actually he's not. He's actually not He's actually not talking
about Joe Biden all the time. He's actually talking about
trying to get the government to reopen. So he's actually
taken more shots at at people like Schumer, uh and
Hakeem Jeffries. So, I mean, I think that's part of
the I think that's part of the issue that maybe
you're not you're not hearing.

Speaker 21 (01:49:16):
Let me ask you something. Does Does the Republican have
the Senate?

Speaker 3 (01:49:19):
Yes?

Speaker 2 (01:49:21):
Do they have the House?

Speaker 3 (01:49:22):
Yes?

Speaker 21 (01:49:23):
Do have the White House?

Speaker 3 (01:49:24):
Yes?

Speaker 21 (01:49:26):
Okay, well okay, so let me just say this to you.

Speaker 3 (01:49:29):
No, no, no, no, Before you say anything to me, I'm
gonna say something to you. You know, darn well, Brian,
you're the one of the smartest callers at this station.
I hear you all the time, and I and I
respect the takes that you have, but you are not
dealing properly with the reality of things. And you know
darn well that you need sixty votes and they do

(01:49:50):
not have sixty votes to reopen the government. So, I mean,
come on, you wanna you want to you want to
tell the truth to the audience, or you want to
try to try to hide it. I mean, come on, now,
that's a problem. That's a that's a problem, be honest.

Speaker 21 (01:50:03):
The only thing I'm doing is just calling out fat Yeah.

Speaker 3 (01:50:06):
No, no, no, no, no, you just could you just
put out a lie because you said that it's not sixty.
You didn't say sixty. You didn't say sixty. That's a lie.
That's an omission. That's an omission. If you did that
in court, If you did that in court, you'd have
a problem. You have you can't do well, you have
to give up the omission.

Speaker 21 (01:50:23):
Come on, well well, well, well obviously obviously they're not
persuadeive enough because then they win their hold.

Speaker 3 (01:50:30):
No, it's because they're not they're not allowed they're not
allowed to release the rest of the people there. That's
the problem.

Speaker 21 (01:50:36):
Okay, well, just let me tell you why the New
York mayor mayor races Mundami.

Speaker 3 (01:50:40):
Really, yeah, you're you're you're big on Mundami. I know
somebody was telling me earlier today because they were saying,
Brian's all about Mundami. He calls he's been calling all
the shows about Mundami. Go ahead, Why do you love
him so much?

Speaker 21 (01:50:52):
No, this is the first time I called.

Speaker 3 (01:50:54):
No, No, they called me. They were telling me about an
hour and a half ago. They were saying, Brian is
all about Munda, So what are you what are you
expecting from Undami?

Speaker 21 (01:51:02):
Okay, there's probably a different Brian.

Speaker 3 (01:51:04):
No, No, no, it's you. I did I know the voice.
I listened to the station twenty four seven three sixty five.

Speaker 21 (01:51:09):
Go ahead, Okay, Well let me let me tell you
why this is important. Uh, because the strategy that he's using. Yes,
and I wouldn't even call it a strategy. It's just
the reality of what's going on for people who are
economically challenged.

Speaker 3 (01:51:22):
I agree, I agree, and so and so and so.

Speaker 21 (01:51:25):
What's gonna happen is when he win, that's gonna flip
the script for the Republican Party. How so they don't
have an answer for that.

Speaker 3 (01:51:34):
No, no, no, they do. They do. They have an answer
for that, because they do for socialist Yeah, for socialism.

Speaker 21 (01:51:40):
I mean the thing about it is this Donald Trumpson
gonna come in all day one and do all of
these things. My grocery deals are up, the gases up.

Speaker 3 (01:51:49):
Well, what what's what's what what's expensive? What's what's more expensive?
Tell me what's more expensive?

Speaker 2 (01:51:55):
Right now? Oh?

Speaker 3 (01:51:56):
Man, no, no, no, groceries is generic? I mean you could
be buying you could be buying high end stuff. What
what is expensive for you?

Speaker 21 (01:52:02):
Oh my god? What you would you is that?

Speaker 16 (01:52:05):
Well?

Speaker 3 (01:52:05):
Because I can tell you, because I know, because I
know better than you, because I can tell you, Uh,
a steak is very expensive right now? You cannot buying
buying beef. I don't understand what the issue is with beef.
It doesn't make any sense to me. But I mean,
so what what else is expensive for you?

Speaker 21 (01:52:22):
Gas is up?

Speaker 3 (01:52:23):
Gas is down? Gas gases two seventy nine? What are
you talking about now?

Speaker 8 (01:52:27):
Now?

Speaker 3 (01:52:27):
Now, you gotta be you gotta be truthful, Brian. I know, listen,
I was warned about this. We got people that you
know talk to me all the time and they say,
when Brian calls in, you got to make sure that
that that you're you're putting them on the right track
here that I don't. I'm very confused right now. It
feels to me like we've had some kind of a break.
I don't, I don't, I don't know what this is, Brian.
I mean it's Look, you're entitled. You're entitled to facts,

(01:52:52):
you're entitled to feuds, You're entitled to whatever you want.
But the facts half to matter. And I can't permit
you to make an assertion and then not be able
to back it up. What would your guy Mundami say?
He would say, Here's what he would say. He would say, Brian,
you have to you have to deceive so we can

(01:53:17):
not any longer lose. This a problem. It's just it's
a problem. And I just sit back here and I say, listen.
I had to correct you on sixty votes. I had
to correct you on the price of the stuff that's
out there. You're telling me to seventy nine is way up. Man,

(01:53:39):
Come on, I want you next time you call whatever
the show is, I want you to use my name,
Brett Winterble, and I want you to I want you
to say this. I want you to say, Brett Whitterble
told me to call because I created a better argument.
The argument is ready to go, and that will be

(01:53:59):
the code. That will be the code when Mandami is
then the guy. Okay, so I know you've got another

(01:54:19):
thing coming. But what what what happened predicating that?

Speaker 10 (01:54:23):
Like?

Speaker 3 (01:54:24):
Why? Why? Did you have another thing? What was the
first thing that came that down that pipeline. I don't
I don't understand this. This is you know, I gotta
tell you something here, This is this is this is
amazing because this means two weeks in a row, we
we will have been together, me and you and and

(01:54:44):
and bo. I got Beth Troutman in here, and I
got bo getting in here, and it's all really good.
And yeah, I'm totally I'm totally ambushing. But you said
to me in the text, you said, hey, I want
to we could talk. This is Look, it's Beth Troutman. Yes,
I said absolutely in the person. In the person, I.

Speaker 22 (01:55:02):
Love this so much when I get to do these
split shift days because I see you people.

Speaker 6 (01:55:07):
You know.

Speaker 22 (01:55:07):
The one thing that I did not like, though, is
driving when traffic is on the road.

Speaker 3 (01:55:11):
It's crazy and it's dark.

Speaker 22 (01:55:13):
Now, well, yeah, I don't mind that. The schedule that
I keep, it's fantastic because I go to bed at
seven o'clock at night, it's already dark.

Speaker 3 (01:55:20):
It feels normal. You know what I did that last night?
I went to bed early and then I woke up
at like twelve thirty and I went where am I
What time is this? I don't know? And then you
got to look at your phone. Yeah, and then you
doom scroll.

Speaker 22 (01:55:33):
Well, you know what you could do when that happens
next time? You can come in and do what I'm
doing right now. You could just be a guest on
Good Morning BT.

Speaker 3 (01:55:40):
Just roll on in, sit down with us, let's do it.
That's it. That's it. Look, because we're hanging out here,
we're getting ready for this eight twenty five right, we
got eight eight minutes and twenty three seconds for the
Virginia polls and all this kind of stuff, which is
going to be good. And so you're a you're a
person and that is very much into the world of

(01:56:03):
politics and things like that.

Speaker 23 (01:56:04):
And we're both political junkis yes, and both is a
political JUNKI yes, And you're gonna have political junkies in
here tonight and all this, yes, And so it's what's
really it's awesome because you can't really you're not gonna
be able to kind of farm this out.

Speaker 3 (01:56:18):
You have to do it in real time with the results, right.

Speaker 22 (01:56:20):
Yeah, And that's what I love about doing Election night.
I loved it when I was working in television I
love it, probably even more doing this live with radio
because we can have so many more guests and I'm
not having to worry about whether or not I got
on lipstick or lip gloss or powder on my schnas,
you know. So it's more about finding the best information,
the most accurate information, and then really breaking down what's

(01:56:43):
happening and then ultimately making predictions about what this means,
what this means about where voters heads are. Like this
election in New York, to me is fascinating.

Speaker 5 (01:56:53):
The fact that.

Speaker 22 (01:56:54):
Donald Trump endorsed Andrew Cuomo, Like in what timeline did
we think that was going to happen? And then you
have what if Mom Donnie does end up becoming mayor
of New York. I think political scientists will look at
this for a while, and analysts will look at this
for a while and probably call this an over correction

(01:57:14):
in the same way that they call Donald Trump an
over correction in twenty sixteen. You know, it is kind
of a symptom of people wanting something different than Barack Obama,
and Mom Donnie in New York might be a symptom
of people wanting something that's different than the MAGA movement
and if you think about those things and how the
pendulum swings when it comes to politics. Mick Malvaney, you know,

(01:57:36):
former White House up the staff, was on our show
yesterday and he said a lot of people don't really
like this election in New York. But he said, he
was like this, I love it. It's the American experiment
on display how the pendulum swings back and forth. And
so that's the way, you know, me, I always try
to look for the silver lining.

Speaker 3 (01:57:55):
Oh yeah, that's the way you.

Speaker 22 (01:57:56):
Can be positive about how these results might play out
in a way that not everybody is expecting or maybe
certainly not everybody wants.

Speaker 3 (01:58:03):
And that and that's one of the things that's that's important,
right because you're going to have people trying to set
up and do these different things and and and then
dive in and it's going to probably take weeks to
really get all the numbers and oh yeah and put
that together.

Speaker 22 (01:58:18):
Oh yeah, and it's going it's going to be so interesting.
To me. Virginia is one of the more interesting races
because of you know, Glenn Youngkin is term limited. So
that's why there's too a Republican and a Democrat running
who are not incumbents. The fact that it's two women
and you're going to have the first woman, that's historic.
But the Attorney general that plays such a huge role,

(01:58:41):
I think in this election cycle because of his rhetoric.
And we need to see how people are responding to
political rhetoric right now.

Speaker 3 (01:58:50):
And that's it because because you now have lanes where
everybody can get satisfaction, right, you're gonna you can have
far left, far right, whatever that's going to be, and
that and what which is actually kind of interesting, right
because you have the all the different colors of the
of the rainbow, you know, Skittles stuff. Speaking of Skittles,

(01:59:12):
I know you heard that.

Speaker 22 (01:59:13):
I'm not a fan of the Skittles. I will eat
them if they're the last candy available.

Speaker 3 (01:59:21):
I like sour patch kids, I just will never have
Oh I love them. Oh I love them mouth, Oh
I love them.

Speaker 22 (01:59:28):
But do you know me, I love bitter, I love sour,
I love salt, all of that stuff.

Speaker 3 (01:59:31):
So do you have any predictions, like even even a
minor minor prediction like VI Liles blows it out?

Speaker 5 (01:59:39):
Yeah?

Speaker 22 (01:59:39):
I do think VI Liles is is going to have
a pretty easy time being successful in Mecklenburg County. I mean,
I think that's it's a pretty blue place. I honestly,
I do believe that Edwin Peacock could be an at
large winner.

Speaker 3 (01:59:52):
I'd be interesting.

Speaker 22 (01:59:53):
I do believe that he can do it because I
do think that there are enough Democrats who will vote
for him, and certainly the end of pendents wh will
vote for him because he is one of those kind
of centrist old school Republicans that people really like him.

Speaker 3 (02:00:05):
Sure, people really like him. And you need to have, like,
you need to have the two different sides. You need
to have somebody in the middle. You got you gotta
be fighting for something in the middle there a little bit, yes,
Otherwise people just like, oh, I'm not gonna talk to you,
I'm gonna hang up, and you know I'm not your
friend anymore.

Speaker 22 (02:00:21):
That's the only way that this really rule exactly exactly,
and honestly, Republicans here in this race raised more money
than Democrats did. And if you've seen TV commercials, Edwin
Peacock had TV commercials running, and that's that's unique for
this kind of race.

Speaker 3 (02:00:36):
All Right, So we're gonna be, uh, we're gonna be
shutting it down here in just a couple of moments.
I'm not gonna make any predictions. Okay, I'll do it
once I know what the outcome is. That's brilliant.

Speaker 5 (02:00:49):
You know.

Speaker 3 (02:00:51):
I'm always right. You know I'm always right. That's what's awesome.
So Beth Troutman and Bo Thompson, they're going to take
you out right all all the way up to the results.
We'll be jumping in with a bunch of great people
as well. We got Bernie in the house, we got
Bo Thompson in the house, we got Beth Troutman in
the house. So I'm gonna I'm gonna skid daddle. I'm

(02:01:12):
gonna head on out and I cannot wait to hear
the coverage tonight. Thanks so much, it's a pleasure to
be with you. Stick around for the results. News Talk
