smell of pumpkin spice on a hot, sweaty summer day.
The movie Clueless came out thirty years ago. It made
Alicia Silverstone, a household name and all of her other
(01:32):
movies made us forget her name, and a Gwyneth Paltrow

Also sad the fact that there's a Gwyneth Paltrow biography.

along smartly. What are we celebrating today? Well, today is
National Chi Day pano chif fudge. It's fudge maple flavored
(04:36):
with the nuts in it. It's an Italian thing, but
it's very tasty. It's worth celebrating. Well, it's kind of classy.
So today would be I guess Classy junk food Day. Okay,

Speaker 1 (05:58):
Mary McCourt Andrew whys Sman's Have they got a no
knock raid? Their door kicked in at four o'clock in
the morning. That's exactly what those individuals need to have
happened to them, as well as everybody else on the
indictable list, And there are many and just for poops
and giggles, you might not get anywhere with it, but
(06:18):
I damn sure think that little Barry Setorro's door needs
to be kicked in. He needs to be ruffed up
a little bit as they escort him out. Purp walk
him just for the sheer experience of purp walking him
in chains as well in chains. Purp walk him in chains,
(06:39):
book him. Let's see what his mugshot looks like. Piece
of garbage anyway, just saying it's gotta happen Russia. It
was treason. There's no dancing around it. Courtesy Evince Conyer.
(07:01):
The Steam Thomas Soul, I said, Thomas Soul, you gen
Zer's xers and even some millennials. You could do yourself
a great favor by reading everything by Thomas Sole. Particularly,
you could download Basic Economics as a PDF online for free.
(07:25):
I suggest you do read it, learn it, live it.
But doctor Soul easily the most important economists of the
last fifty years. He just turned ninety five a couple
of weeks ago. He's got an extraordinary ability to take
complex ideas about economics and culture and distill them down
(07:46):
into pros that speaks to everybody, from PhDs all the
way down to people with GEDs, and his ability and
willingness to address issues from race to economics to history
and compellingly readable books or pretty much unmatched, except for
his colleague Walter E. Williams did the same thing Walter
(08:07):
since past, but indeed, his Culture's trilogy one of the
most robust weapons one might equip themselves within any battle
against the nonsensical wokeness that plagues America in the early
twenty first century. As you would expect from a career
spanning over six decades, Doctor Soul has more than a
(08:28):
few quote quotes that are perfect for our time. Some
favorites here. Racism is not dead, but it's on life support,
kept alive by politicians, race hustlers, and people who get
a sense of superiority by denouncing others as racists. And
like everybody in the WNBA except for the white girls.
(08:52):
And there's only what two I've only seen like two? Ok? Three?
Another one is one of the sad signs of our
times is that we have demonized those who actually produce
and subsidize those who refuse to produce, and canonize those
(09:13):
who complain that's true. As accurate as those quotes are,
the following perhaps the most insightful from Doctor Saul quote.
One of the common failings among honorable people is a
failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be,
and how dangerous it is to trust them. And while
(09:35):
that quote seems like a reasonable observation in a normal
political framework, where politicians tell lies about one another and
make promises they never intend to keep, today it's a
whole lot more. It's cutting accuracy. Seems to have been
demonstrated every week since Donald J. Trump forty seven took
(09:59):
the office, from a usaid to intransigent bureaucrats, to rogue judges.
But now finally, maybe someone's starting to heed doctor Soul's words.
And I'm talking, of course, about the Russiagate hoax that
Barack Houssein, Berry Stom, Sitro Obama, the Kenyan q Tip
(10:22):
and his national security team foisted on we the people.
CIA director John Pruneface Brennan, FBI director James stretch Komy,
and Director of National Intelligence James Itchy Clapper essentially manipulated
the intelligence community assessment such that the impact of a
(10:42):
Trump Russia collusion charge was devastating, and they had a
bit of help from the beginning. Essentially, they undermined the
credibility of the incoming administration and saddled the country with
two years of intrigue, corruption, and uncertainty in the form
of an investigation by Special Counsel Bob Muller and what's more,
(11:05):
Paul Ryan, Oh, what a piece of garbage. Then Speaker
of the House, who basically would have been just as
happy with the President Hillary Clinton, would use the distraction
to undermine Trump's number one issue, the border wall. He
delayed the fight until after the twenty eighteen midterms, which
of course ended up being a bloodbath for the GOP. So,
(11:25):
needless to say, Trump's number one issue was dead on
arrival when Congress reconvened thanks to the traitorous Paul Ryan.
But by the time Muller reluctantly admitted that there was
nothing to the Russia gatehot hoax six months after the midterms,
damage had already been done. Some coups take the form
(11:48):
of military takeovers. Others involve assassinations. This one involved a
conspiracy at the highest level of the Obama administration. During
his first turn, they tried the assassinations coming into his
second term. Things are not supposed to work like that.
We have elections, so the people, we the people can
(12:10):
decide how we want the nation to be governed. While
there are always many people who are unhappy with the outcome,
most Americans accept it because they believe in the system
established by our constitution here in our constitutional Republic. John
Adams said of that constitution, it was made only for
a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to
(12:34):
the government of any other. And that's demonstrably true. It's
a piece of paper. Americans accept the outcomes of elections
not because there are storm troopers stationed on every corner
ensuring acquiescence, but rather because they believe that, while flawed,
our constitutional elections are a relatively honest and fair way
(12:55):
to decide our path forward. Well they used to be, anyway.
Hopefully we can make elections great again mega, which brings
us back to Soul's quote. One of the common failings
among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly
dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it
is to trust them. And what the Obama cabal did
(13:16):
to Donald Trump and the country was anything but moral.
It was insidious, it was treacherous, and most of all,
it was treasonous, pure and simple treason. And now the
Director of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbard has released documents that
(13:36):
suggested they show that Barack Hussein, Barry sataorro Obama the
Kenyan q Tip was behind it all, and we'll get
an opportunity to see what the Trump administration is really
made of. It's one thing to tell the American people
about the treason of a previous administration that we already
knew about. We just finally got legal evidence evidentiary confirmation.
(14:05):
But it's something else all together to do something about it.
Will it be like the Epstein debacle where Americans were
told the hammers come in, the walls are closing in,
only to be later told, uh, oops, there's nothing here.
Or will this be a ruthless, methodical, and intentional prosecution
(14:25):
of the traders who put the nation through so much.
I would suggest that, at a moment in time when
public trust in government is near all time lows, if
the Trump administration has any hope of being considered successful,
it's going to take the latter course. For far too long,
Americans have watched as elites like the scum sucking, pussusing
(14:49):
walking tumor that is Hillary Clinton, Lion Susan Rice, and
the treasonous Barack Obama have not only gotten away with
what many see as abject tree, but then they have
the temerity to lecture us that no one is above
the law. Most Americans agree with that and believe criminals
(15:11):
should pay for their deeds. The question is does Donald Trump.
I believe he does based on his posting on truth
social But is he going to demonstrate to the American
people that we are indeed a nation of laws and
not men, or will he tell us once again that
there's no there there and that in modern America the
(15:33):
only people who face consequences for their actions are those
who stand up to the swamp and the ruling elites.
It's got to happen, Vince Koyer. General Flynn seems to
agree with me. What do you see happening next?
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Yeah, a couple of things. And I have made this
right recommendation that I think that all of these people
that are involved, starting with Obama on down, they all
ought to have their passports revoked.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
And and people need to be checking private airplanes and
private air airfields for anybody trying to abscond the country
and get the heck out of dodge here. So that's
Number one, I do think that just as was done
to President Trump when they when they raided his home
at mar A Lago I because they thought that there
was and they planted evidence there in that case. But
(16:30):
I do think that what the d o J should
be considering, if not, if not getting ready to conduct,
is a raid of Barack Obama's home up there at Colorama,
uh in Washington, d C. Where he's been been since
he left the since he you know, physically left the
White House, you know, he's been running the White House,
you know, all during the Biden regime. And I do
(16:52):
think that there's some other places that need to be
raided where there are likely uh you know, a lot
of evidence, a lot of receipts, so to speak, and
many of these people that that are part of the
Obama White House as well as the Biden White House.
I mean, I just heard the great David Shoon talking about, uh,
the former Deputy Attorney General, the Monaco who also was
(17:14):
the Homeland Security advisor to Barack Obama. So that's number one,
that's and that's those are those are you know, things
that need to be considered right now. And I'm I was,
I was ready to wake up this morning to hear
about some of these raids that should have been going
on there. There should, as a minimum, be a task
force assembled by of federal law enforcement authorities as well
(17:36):
as a sign dedicated Uh, you know, prosecutor at the
d J level, at the at the attorney general level,
someone who is working directly for her and for the
President of the United States. This has got to happen
very quickly.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, it does, General Michael Flynn, And it damn sure
better happened.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
It.
Speaker 1 (17:59):
Damned, I'm sure better happen. Bondie, you better start doing it.
Speaker 4 (18:05):
It's voice of us. It's really something.
Speaker 8 (18:07):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
I can't get enough of it.
Speaker 8 (18:09):
We'll be right back with Charlotte County Speaks News Radio
fifteen eighty WCCF.
Speaker 9 (18:17):
Why college seriously, Why right now young male college grads
are jobless at the same rate as non grads.
Speaker 8 (18:31):
Yeah?
Speaker 10 (18:32):
What do I say again and again again about conventional
wisdom being poisoned?
Speaker 1 (18:36):
Yeah? Are you'r a hypocrite? Markowski?
Speaker 10 (18:38):
Your kids went to college. Yeah, but they had to
give me a reason why they were going to college.
They weren't going to college to take some bole excrement
major or to go ahead and find themselves. You're going
to college or university because you want to do what?
What is going to be the return on my investment
(19:00):
in you if you go to college?
Speaker 9 (19:03):
Obviously the conventional wisdoms A, you gotta get it easier
to get a job.
Speaker 1 (19:08):
Well, they lied to you there, Get used to it.
Speaker 10 (19:12):
Be smart with your choices, watchdog on Wall Street dot com.
Speaker 11 (19:42):
Do get lonely on the datis farm.
Speaker 5 (19:47):
Justlyman mad a lit. That's a red page.
Speaker 11 (19:54):
And you be in my way the last saturdays.
Speaker 1 (20:11):
Down, all right, right, because you ain't going to be
able to take California's high speed train. News Radio fifteen
eighty one hundred point nine FM WCCF just about nine
(20:34):
thirty three here at Charlotte County Speaks. Phone lines open
nine four one two zero six, fifteen eighty Little Montrose
right there over to Mike McDaniel. Can you believe the
cajones on Greasy Gavin suing the Trump administration for not
funding is trained to nowhere. Now we've been talking about
(20:58):
I haven't talked about it recently, but we over the
years have talked about. Well, I'm coming up on eighteen
years doing this show in October and we've been talking
about it for at least sixteen of those eighteen and
(21:18):
really it's a high speed railed to nowhere approved by
California voters in two thousand and eight. It was supposed
to have run from San Francisco to la by twenty
thirty at a cost of a mere thirty three billion dollars.
Eventually it was downscaled to a very short route in
the Central Valley, and the costs are over one hundred
(21:40):
billion and still rising. It's now around one hundred and
thirty billion dollars. All that, and not a single foot
of rail for a railroad has been laid. A variety
of bridges and other concrete and steel monoliths have been constructed,
which will surely baffle future archaeologists. Is they have no
(22:00):
discernible purpose for a railroad that was never or will be.
Might they have had some religious significance? The archaeologists will say,
were they primitive astronomical observatories fertility temples?
Speaker 7 (22:20):
That we don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Let's repeat that. Seventeen years and not a single foot
of track has been laid in California has a budget
deficit of at least twelve billion, well at least. The
Dems are consistent. They always choose the least efficient, most
costly solutions to nonexistent problems. Over at PG Media, David
(22:46):
Manny suggests the entire mess is Governor greasy Gavin Newsom's
vanity project, a concrete and rebar but no railroad track
monument to his greasy greatness. It's a bit of greatness
that news Some scaled back in twenty nineteen from a
coast to coast wonder to a central Valley proof of
concept test section, and to date that test section has
(23:10):
absorbed the full cost of the original bigger project was
still no end in sight. You got to give you
some credit, though he's proved the concept is impossible to
build in California. If California wants to build this epic boondoggle,
it will have to finance it alone. Because the American
taxpayers are out. We're done. Courtesy of Donald J. Trump
(23:38):
on his truth social to the law abiding, tax paying,
hardworking citizens in the United States of America, I am
thrilled to announce that I have officially freed you from
funding California's disastrously overpriced high speed trained in nowhere. This
boondoggle led by the incompetent Governor of California, Gavin Nooscomb.
(24:00):
Scum that's what he calls him. Has cost taxpayers hundreds
of billions of dollars and we have received nothing in
return except cost overruns. The railroad we were promised still
doesn't exist and never will. This project was severely overpriced, overregulated,
and never delivered. Thanks to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, not
a single penny in federal dollars will go towards this
(24:23):
new scum scam. Ever, again, this was an ill conceived
and unnecessary project and a total waste of taxpayer money.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
But no more.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
California's embattled high speed rail project suffered a major setback
after Sean Duffy announced termination of four billion in unspent
federal funding by the Federal Railroad Administration, citing sixteen years
of failure, no completed high speed track and escalating costs.
Duffy declared the project, dubbed the Train to Nowhere, a mismanaged,
(25:00):
over budgeted boondoggle. This is California's fault. Governor Newsom and
the complicit Democrats have enabled this waste for years. Federal
dollars are not a blank check they come with a
promise to deliver results. After over a decade of failures,
chsra's mismanagement and incompetence has proven it cannot build its
(25:22):
train to nowhere on time or on budget. It's time
for this boondoggle to die. President Trump and I will
always fight to ensure your tax dollars only go to
projects that accomplish great, big, beautiful things. So Duffy canceled
the four billion directed the FRA to review every additional
grant connected to the project. In addition, the Department of
(25:45):
Transportation is looking at clawing back everything spent on the
project thus far and whatever legal action is necessary to
accomplish that. Newscom who's apparently running for the twenty twenty
eight democrap nomination. He's talking tough like he's in a
position to talk top.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Just an abject failure with again no self reflection at all.
Quote Trump wants to handshine of the future and abandon
the Central Valley. We won't let him. With projects like
the Texas High Speed Rail failing to take off, we're
miles ahead of others in debt. Maybe we're now in
(26:28):
the track laying phase and building America's only high speed rail.
California is putting all options on the table to fight
this illegal action. Illegal action in a sane state, a
private railroad contractor could have built the project on time
and under budget, but it's unlikely that would be possible
ever in California. Even while the state was trying to
(26:50):
build it, all manner of regulations, permitting processes and lawsuits
bog construction down. New Scum has painted himself into a corner,
and he obviously feels he's got no option but to
continue to piss away taxpayer money on this disaster, and
fellow Democrats and Republicans are surely delighted. The campaign commercials
(27:12):
kind of write themselves. Really, Gavin Newsom, he'll do to
America what he did to California. Newsom's gonna blame Trump.
But by twenty twenty eight, that, I mean, the dog
already doesn't hurt hunt. Regarding the railroad, this thing's been
a waste of money from the beginning, and we told
you from the beginning it would be. It really doesn't
(27:37):
matter now, but Democrats have nothing else, so they'll keep
this up. Quinnipiac poll is deadly for Democrats. They're at
a record a nineteen percent low in congressional approval since
the issue was first pulled in March of two thousand
(27:57):
and nine. Out so one would think Democrats, including Democrats
hoping to be re elected in twenty twenty six and
running for nomination in twenty twenty eight, would completely revamp
their positions in messaging, even admit error, and promise to
do better with policies that Americans actually want, But as
(28:18):
the Great Belushi would say, but without federal taxpayer dollars.
With tens even hundreds of thousands of Californians fleeing California
for red states every year, not as missionaries, but as
political refugees, with California facing huge deficits and a legislature
(28:38):
dedicated to go in full commy, never go full commy,
this pilot project will never be finished, and even if
a few feet of track are eventually laid, California is
going to be stuck with abandoned, half finished concrete and
rebar monuments to Newsom's folly. They'll look splendid in campaign
commercials for the opponents of his and they're going to
(29:01):
persist for centuries. Too too expensive to tear down China,
which is also in deep economic trouble can have that future.
A railroad with no rails isn't ahead of anything. It's hilarity.
Mike McDaniel's right there. I DC six months in and
(29:27):
zero reflection on the part of any elected Democrat at all,
zero reflection. No I'm sorries, no will do better, no
offering actual policies. It's all chump Trump Trump. They're psychos
and they need to be dealt with. Okay, I think
(29:48):
we should take a break and clean our body parts.
Speaker 8 (29:50):
Will be right back with Charlotte County Speaks on news
radio fifteen to eighty WCCF.
Speaker 12 (29:58):

Well Nazareth right there. Yeah, a bunch of miss miseries

Speaker 12 (32:13):
Pay it like you, Oweth.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I mean, how, just seriously, how much longer do we
have to deal with these arrogant, racist, lesbian liberals who
are just economically illiterate. It's just oh ah, they have
the gall to wear that the league, the WNBA, which
(32:37):
is fifty million dollars in the red, and they've got
the gall the audacity pay it wef you, Oweth. You're
already making too much. Nobody watches you, nobody goes to

your games. Your ticket sales reflect how much you're making.
And when you act the way you act on the floor,
All you black girls out there poking the white girls
in the eye, knocking them down. The crappy refs, the
lousy owners, and you have to be subsidized by the NBA.
(33:25):
Why should we care about a bunch of girls who
could be taken out by a high school JV squad? Seriously? Good? Huh, Well,
that's right, we'll do that this hour, since we got
the master gardeners, and now.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
It's time for you.

Speaker 5 (34:07):
Well.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
He kind of feels that she's been bullied into going
along to get along. Apparently. Number one of your five
random facts. Cameroon got its name from the porkagese Portuguese
word for shrimp, and the Portuguese name of the country
is still literally shrimps or cameros. Okay. Number two. The
(34:30):
opposite of paranoia is pronoia, the belief that everyone's involved
in a secret conspiracy to help you. Well, that would
be nice. I would like to suffer from pronoia. Number three,
The average length of a book on Amazon is roughly
(34:50):
seventy five thousand words, which translates to about three hundred pages,
and about half of all books are shorter than that,
and half are longer. All right. Number four, During a conversation,
the average person's turn to talk last two seconds, and
there's only a gap of two hundred milliseconds before the
(35:13):
other person talks again. And that's true across all cultures
and even in sign language conversations. And finally, number five
of your five random facts, the US Forest Service created
Smoky the Bear in nineteen forty four after their deal
ran out with Disney to use Bambi on their forest
(35:35):
fire prevention posters. And there's your five random facts. So
there you go. Who knows? Did not know that? Yeah?
Sad to report Cosby's Show Malcolm Jamal Warner passed away.
(35:56):
He apparently accidentally drowned while he was on vacation in
Costa Rica. Sad to see that he was only fifty
four and had a long, great career with The Cosby Show.
Fresh Prince Barrett bel Air, Sesame Street, Malcolm Manetti, Suits, Community,
(36:18):
Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, the Resident Accused. He played aj
Collings on the people versus OJ. So sad to see that, Malcolm.
How about some good news? Got some good news here? Oh,
here's one kid on Long Island named Will Burrell is
(36:43):
in the news after launching his own burger stand and
letting veterans eat for free. It's called Will's Smash Burgers
and a portion of the prophets go to a veteran

he got a He he's just a kid, he's in

his teens and it seems to be going great so far.
He's hooked up with a local butcher and it's will
Smash Burgers up on Long Island. So go get you

New York. Guy in Massachusetts bought a powerball ticket, then
(37:28):
lost track thought the drawing had already happened, so he
bought another ticket with the same set of numbers. Each
ticket hit for a million two million bucks. Good for him,
that's awesome.
Speaker 7 (37:42):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I should probably start playing the lottery. I got nothing
to lose but a couple of bucks. I'm not you know,
buying hundreds of dollars of scratchers and just a ticket here,
ticket there, here's another one. A sheriff's department near Denver
shared photos after a wildlife official saved a baby raccoon
that crawled up into a semi It was sleeping up
(38:05):
inside the engine compartment, didn't want to come out. They
eventually got it out, released it back into the wild.
It's it's doing good now, good little yeah, a good
little raccoon. That's all. That's all the good news that
you're gonna have to go try and try and make
(38:25):
your own. A lot of parents out there getting hassled
by their kids about getting a phone. So they asked
the question to science, how old should kids be before
(38:46):
they get their first phone? Well, science says thirteen. A
new study found thirteen is the minimum age kids should
get their first smartphone or be allowed on social media.
Any younger risks their future mental health. And they base
it on a survey of almost two million people in
(39:09):
one hundred and sixty four different countries. Now that's a poll.
Kids who get access to phones in social media before
the age of thirteen are more likely to end up depressed, aggressive,
and emotionally unstable by their mid twenties. You know, like democrats.
(39:31):
The study blamed it on three main things. Poor sleep,
They're way more likely to lie in bed, scrolling, and
the study found it's true even if they don't have
social media, just a phone, they'll deal with cyber bullying
younger than thirteen. And it's not just from other kids.
(39:51):
Being online. That exposes them to all kinds of hate
and it can create four poor family relationships. Once they
they have the internet in their hands, they start drifting
away from other family members. Again, the study found thirteen
is just the minimum. Some experts say keeping them off
phones and Instagram until sixteen might be best. Obviously, there's
(40:16):
a trade off here. It's kind of hard to say
when say no when all their friends are online. So
what do you think the right ages thirteen, sixteen, thirty seven,
maybe thirty seven, probably probably pretty good. Really, Oh it is, man,
(40:37):
They just deal with too much these days and parents
find it hard to say no. Historically, two hundred and
twenty nine years ago, seventeen ninety six, the beautiful city
of Cleveland, Ohio was founded by General Moses Cleveland. And
yes he did have that extra a in there. It's
(41:01):
not really clear why it has dropped for the spelling
of the City one hundred and thirty. Two years ago,
eighteen ninety three, Catherine Lee Bates, a professor at Wellesley College,
wrote the original version of her poem America the Beautiful.
She was inspired by the view from Pike's Peak in Colorado.

The Steam Thomas Soul, I said, Thomas Soul, you gen
Zer's xers and even some millennials. You could do yourself
a great favor by reading everything by Thomas Sole. Particularly,
you could download Basic Economics as a PDF online for free.
(07:25):
I suggest you do read it, learn it, live it.
But doctor Soul easily the most important economists of the
last fifty years. He just turned ninety five a couple
of weeks ago. He's got an extraordinary ability to take
complex ideas about economics and culture and distill them down
(07:46):
into pros that speaks to everybody, from PhDs all the
way down to people with GEDs, and his ability and
willingness to address issues from race to economics to history
and compellingly readable books or pretty much unmatched, except for
his colleague Walter E. Williams did the same thing Walter
(08:07):
since past, but indeed, his Culture's trilogy one of the
most robust weapons one might equip themselves within any battle
against the nonsensical wokeness that plagues America in the early
twenty first century. As you would expect from a career
spanning over six decades, Doctor Soul has more than a
(08:28):
few quote quotes that are perfect for our time. Some
favorites here. Racism is not dead, but it's on life support,
kept alive by politicians, race hustlers, and people who get
a sense of superiority by denouncing others as racists. And
like everybody in the WNBA except for the white girls.
(08:52):
And there's only what two I've only seen like two? Ok? Three?
Another one is one of the sad signs of our
times is that we have demonized those who actually produce
and subsidize those who refuse to produce, and canonize those
(09:13):
who complain that's true. As accurate as those quotes are,
the following perhaps the most insightful from Doctor Saul quote.
One of the common failings among honorable people is a
failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be,
and how dangerous it is to trust them. And while
(09:35):
that quote seems like a reasonable observation in a normal
political framework, where politicians tell lies about one another and
make promises they never intend to keep, today it's a
whole lot more. It's cutting accuracy. Seems to have been
demonstrated every week since Donald J. Trump forty seven took
(09:59):
the office, from a usaid to intransigent bureaucrats, to rogue judges.
But now finally, maybe someone's starting to heed doctor Soul's words.
And I'm talking, of course, about the Russiagate hoax that
Barack Houssein, Berry Stom, Sitro Obama, the Kenyan q Tip
(10:22):
and his national security team foisted on we the people.
CIA director John Pruneface Brennan, FBI director James stretch Komy,
and Director of National Intelligence James Itchy Clapper essentially manipulated
the intelligence community assessment such that the impact of a
(10:42):
Trump Russia collusion charge was devastating, and they had a
bit of help from the beginning. Essentially, they undermined the
credibility of the incoming administration and saddled the country with
two years of intrigue, corruption, and uncertainty in the form
of an investigation by Special Counsel Bob Muller and what's more,
(11:05):
Paul Ryan, Oh, what a piece of garbage. Then Speaker
of the House, who basically would have been just as
happy with the President Hillary Clinton, would use the distraction
to undermine Trump's number one issue, the border wall. He
delayed the fight until after the twenty eighteen midterms, which
of course ended up being a bloodbath for the GOP. So,
(11:25):
needless to say, Trump's number one issue was dead on
arrival when Congress reconvened thanks to the traitorous Paul Ryan.
But by the time Muller reluctantly admitted that there was
nothing to the Russia gatehot hoax six months after the midterms,
damage had already been done. Some coups take the form
(11:48):
of military takeovers. Others involve assassinations. This one involved a
conspiracy at the highest level of the Obama administration. During
his first turn, they tried the assassinations coming into his
second term. Things are not supposed to work like that.
We have elections, so the people, we the people can
(12:10):
decide how we want the nation to be governed. While
there are always many people who are unhappy with the outcome,
most Americans accept it because they believe in the system
established by our constitution here in our constitutional Republic. John
Adams said of that constitution, it was made only for
a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to
(12:34):
the government of any other. And that's demonstrably true. It's
a piece of paper. Americans accept the outcomes of elections
not because there are storm troopers stationed on every corner
ensuring acquiescence, but rather because they believe that, while flawed,
our constitutional elections are a relatively honest and fair way
(12:55):
to decide our path forward. Well they used to be, anyway.
Hopefully we can make elections great again mega, which brings
us back to Soul's quote. One of the common failings
among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly
dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it
is to trust them. And what the Obama cabal did
(13:16):
to Donald Trump and the country was anything but moral.
It was insidious, it was treacherous, and most of all,
it was treasonous, pure and simple treason. And now the
Director of National Intelligence Tulsey Gabbard has released documents that
(13:36):
suggested they show that Barack Hussein, Barry sataorro Obama the
Kenyan q Tip was behind it all, and we'll get
an opportunity to see what the Trump administration is really
made of. It's one thing to tell the American people
about the treason of a previous administration that we already
knew about. We just finally got legal evidence evidentiary confirmation.
(14:05):
But it's something else all together to do something about it.
Will it be like the Epstein debacle where Americans were
told the hammers come in, the walls are closing in,
only to be later told, uh, oops, there's nothing here.
Or will this be a ruthless, methodical, and intentional prosecution
(14:25):
of the traders who put the nation through so much.
I would suggest that, at a moment in time when
public trust in government is near all time lows, if
the Trump administration has any hope of being considered successful,
it's going to take the latter course. For far too long,
Americans have watched as elites like the scum sucking, pussusing
(14:49):
walking tumor that is Hillary Clinton, Lion Susan Rice, and
the treasonous Barack Obama have not only gotten away with
what many see as abject tree, but then they have
the temerity to lecture us that no one is above
the law. Most Americans agree with that and believe criminals
(15:11):
should pay for their deeds. The question is does Donald Trump.
I believe he does based on his posting on truth
social But is he going to demonstrate to the American
people that we are indeed a nation of laws and
not men, or will he tell us once again that
there's no there there and that in modern America the
(15:33):
only people who face consequences for their actions are those
who stand up to the swamp and the ruling elites.
It's got to happen, Vince Koyer. General Flynn seems to
agree with me. What do you see happening next?
Speaker 7 (15:57):
Yeah, a couple of things. And I have made this
right recommendation that I think that all of these people
that are involved, starting with Obama on down, they all
ought to have their passports revoked.
Speaker 1 (16:07):
Uh.
Speaker 7 (16:08):
And and people need to be checking private airplanes and
private air airfields for anybody trying to abscond the country
and get the heck out of dodge here. So that's
Number one, I do think that just as was done
to President Trump when they when they raided his home
at mar A Lago I because they thought that there
was and they planted evidence there in that case. But
(16:30):
I do think that what the d o J should
be considering, if not, if not getting ready to conduct,
is a raid of Barack Obama's home up there at Colorama,
uh in Washington, d C. Where he's been been since
he left the since he you know, physically left the
White House, you know, he's been running the White House,
you know, all during the Biden regime. And I do
(16:52):
think that there's some other places that need to be
raided where there are likely uh you know, a lot
of evidence, a lot of receipts, so to speak, and
many of these people that that are part of the
Obama White House as well as the Biden White House.
I mean, I just heard the great David Shoon talking about, uh,
the former Deputy Attorney General, the Monaco who also was
(17:14):
the Homeland Security advisor to Barack Obama. So that's number one,
that's and that's those are those are you know, things
that need to be considered right now. And I'm I was,
I was ready to wake up this morning to hear
about some of these raids that should have been going
on there. There should, as a minimum, be a task
force assembled by of federal law enforcement authorities as well
(17:36):
as a sign dedicated Uh, you know, prosecutor at the
d J level, at the at the attorney general level,
someone who is working directly for her and for the
President of the United States. This has got to happen
very quickly.
Speaker 1 (17:51):
Yeah, it does, General Michael Flynn, And it damn sure
better happened.
Speaker 5 (17:59):
It.
Speaker 1 (17:59):

give me a reason why they were going to college.
They weren't going to college to take some bole excrement

thirty three here at Charlotte County Speaks. Phone lines open
nine four one two zero six, fifteen eighty Little Montrose
right there over to Mike McDaniel. Can you believe the
cajones on Greasy Gavin suing the Trump administration for not
funding is trained to nowhere. Now we've been talking about
(20:58):
I haven't talked about it recently, but we over the
years have talked about. Well, I'm coming up on eighteen
years doing this show in October and we've been talking
about it for at least sixteen of those eighteen and
(21:18):
really it's a high speed railed to nowhere approved by
California voters in two thousand and eight. It was supposed
to have run from San Francisco to la by twenty
thirty at a cost of a mere thirty three billion dollars.
Eventually it was downscaled to a very short route in
the Central Valley, and the costs are over one hundred
(21:40):
billion and still rising. It's now around one hundred and
thirty billion dollars. All that, and not a single foot
of rail for a railroad has been laid. A variety
of bridges and other concrete and steel monoliths have been constructed,
which will surely baffle future archaeologists. Is they have no
(22:00):
discernible purpose for a railroad that was never or will be.
Might they have had some religious significance? The archaeologists will say,
were they primitive astronomical observatories fertility temples?
Speaker 7 (22:20):
That we don't know.
Speaker 1 (22:23):
Let's repeat that. Seventeen years and not a single foot
of track has been laid in California has a budget
deficit of at least twelve billion, well at least. The
Dems are consistent. They always choose the least efficient, most
costly solutions to nonexistent problems. Over at PG Media, David
(22:46):
Manny suggests the entire mess is Governor greasy Gavin Newsom's
vanity project, a concrete and rebar but no railroad track
monument to his greasy greatness. It's a bit of greatness
that news Some scaled back in twenty nineteen from a
coast to coast wonder to a central Valley proof of
concept test section, and to date that test section has
(23:10):
absorbed the full cost of the original bigger project was
still no end in sight. You got to give you
some credit, though he's proved the concept is impossible to
build in California. If California wants to build this epic boondoggle,
it will have to finance it alone. Because the American
taxpayers are out. We're done. Courtesy of Donald J. Trump
(23:38):
on his truth social to the law abiding, tax paying,
hardworking citizens in the United States of America, I am
thrilled to announce that I have officially freed you from
funding California's disastrously overpriced high speed trained in nowhere. This
boondoggle led by the incompetent Governor of California, Gavin Nooscomb.
(24:00):
Scum that's what he calls him. Has cost taxpayers hundreds
of billions of dollars and we have received nothing in
return except cost overruns. The railroad we were promised still
doesn't exist and never will. This project was severely overpriced, overregulated,
and never delivered. Thanks to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy, not
a single penny in federal dollars will go towards this
(24:23):
new scum scam. Ever, again, this was an ill conceived
and unnecessary project and a total waste of taxpayer money.
Speaker 6 (24:31):
But no more.
Speaker 1 (24:37):
California's embattled high speed rail project suffered a major setback
after Sean Duffy announced termination of four billion in unspent
federal funding by the Federal Railroad Administration, citing sixteen years
of failure, no completed high speed track and escalating costs.
Duffy declared the project, dubbed the Train to Nowhere, a mismanaged,
(25:00):
over budgeted boondoggle. This is California's fault. Governor Newsom and
the complicit Democrats have enabled this waste for years. Federal
dollars are not a blank check they come with a
promise to deliver results. After over a decade of failures,
chsra's mismanagement and incompetence has proven it cannot build its
(25:22):
train to nowhere on time or on budget. It's time
for this boondoggle to die. President Trump and I will
always fight to ensure your tax dollars only go to
projects that accomplish great, big, beautiful things. So Duffy canceled
the four billion directed the FRA to review every additional
grant connected to the project. In addition, the Department of
(25:45):
Transportation is looking at clawing back everything spent on the
project thus far and whatever legal action is necessary to
accomplish that. Newscom who's apparently running for the twenty twenty
eight democrap nomination. He's talking tough like he's in a
position to talk top.
Speaker 3 (26:05):
Man.
Speaker 1 (26:06):
Just an abject failure with again no self reflection at all.
Quote Trump wants to handshine of the future and abandon
the Central Valley. We won't let him. With projects like
the Texas High Speed Rail failing to take off, we're
miles ahead of others in debt. Maybe we're now in
(26:28):
the track laying phase and building America's only high speed rail.
California is putting all options on the table to fight
this illegal action. Illegal action in a sane state, a
private railroad contractor could have built the project on time
and under budget, but it's unlikely that would be possible
ever in California. Even while the state was trying to
(26:50):
build it, all manner of regulations, permitting processes and lawsuits
bog construction down. New Scum has painted himself into a corner,
and he obviously feels he's got no option but to
continue to piss away taxpayer money on this disaster, and
fellow Democrats and Republicans are surely delighted. The campaign commercials
(27:12):
kind of write themselves. Really, Gavin Newsom, he'll do to
America what he did to California. Newsom's gonna blame Trump.
But by twenty twenty eight, that, I mean, the dog
already doesn't hurt hunt. Regarding the railroad, this thing's been
a waste of money from the beginning, and we told
you from the beginning it would be. It really doesn't
(27:37):
matter now, but Democrats have nothing else, so they'll keep
this up. Quinnipiac poll is deadly for Democrats. They're at
a record a nineteen percent low in congressional approval since
the issue was first pulled in March of two thousand
(27:57):
and nine. Out so one would think Democrats, including Democrats
hoping to be re elected in twenty twenty six and
running for nomination in twenty twenty eight, would completely revamp
their positions in messaging, even admit error, and promise to
do better with policies that Americans actually want, But as
(28:18):
the Great Belushi would say, but without federal taxpayer dollars.
With tens even hundreds of thousands of Californians fleeing California
for red states every year, not as missionaries, but as
political refugees, with California facing huge deficits and a legislature
(28:38):
dedicated to go in full commy, never go full commy,
this pilot project will never be finished, and even if
a few feet of track are eventually laid, California is
going to be stuck with abandoned, half finished concrete and
rebar monuments to Newsom's folly. They'll look splendid in campaign
commercials for the opponents of his and they're going to
(29:01):
persist for centuries. Too too expensive to tear down China,
which is also in deep economic trouble can have that future.
A railroad with no rails isn't ahead of anything. It's hilarity.
Mike McDaniel's right there. I DC six months in and
(29:27):
zero reflection on the part of any elected Democrat at all,
zero reflection. No I'm sorries, no will do better, no
offering actual policies. It's all chump Trump Trump. They're psychos
and they need to be dealt with. Okay, I think
(29:48):
we should take a break and clean our body parts.

Speaker 1 (31:59):
Three his radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM WCCF.
Well Nazareth right there. Yeah, a bunch of miss miseries
in the WNBA.
Speaker 12 (32:13):
Pay it like you, Oweth.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
I mean, how, just seriously, how much longer do we
have to deal with these arrogant, racist, lesbian liberals who
are just economically illiterate. It's just oh ah, they have
the gall to wear that the league, the WNBA, which
(32:37):
is fifty million dollars in the red, and they've got
the gall the audacity pay it wef you, Oweth. You're
already making too much. Nobody watches you, nobody goes to
(32:57):
your games. Your ticket sales reflect how much you're making.
And when you act the way you act on the floor,
All you black girls out there poking the white girls
in the eye, knocking them down. The crappy refs, the
lousy owners, and you have to be subsidized by the NBA.
(33:25):
Why should we care about a bunch of girls who
could be taken out by a high school JV squad? Seriously? Good? Huh, Well,
that's right, we'll do that this hour, since we got
the master gardeners, and now.
Speaker 5 (33:47):
It's time for you.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
Got random? I mean, that's just a level of stupidity
that is not worth Yeah, never will I watch them?
Oh she was why? Yeah, Caitlin was wearing it too.
Speaker 5 (34:07):
Well.
Speaker 1 (34:08):
He kind of feels that she's been bullied into going
along to get along. Apparently. Number one of your five
random facts. Cameroon got its name from the porkagese Portuguese
word for shrimp, and the Portuguese name of the country
is still literally shrimps or cameros. Okay. Number two. The
(34:30):
opposite of paranoia is pronoia, the belief that everyone's involved
in a secret conspiracy to help you. Well, that would
be nice. I would like to suffer from pronoia. Number three,
The average length of a book on Amazon is roughly
(34:50):
seventy five thousand words, which translates to about three hundred pages,
and about half of all books are shorter than that,
and half are longer. All right. Number four, During a conversation,
the average person's turn to talk last two seconds, and
there's only a gap of two hundred milliseconds before the
(35:13):
other person talks again. And that's true across all cultures
and even in sign language conversations. And finally, number five
of your five random facts, the US Forest Service created
Smoky the Bear in nineteen forty four after their deal
ran out with Disney to use Bambi on their forest
(35:35):
fire prevention posters. And there's your five random facts. So
there you go. Who knows? Did not know that? Yeah?
Sad to report Cosby's Show Malcolm Jamal Warner passed away.
(35:56):
He apparently accidentally drowned while he was on vacation in
Costa Rica. Sad to see that he was only fifty
four and had a long, great career with The Cosby Show.
Fresh Prince Barrett bel Air, Sesame Street, Malcolm Manetti, Suits, Community,
(36:18):
Sons of Anarchy, Dexter, the Resident Accused. He played aj
Collings on the people versus OJ. So sad to see that, Malcolm.
How about some good news? Got some good news here? Oh,
here's one kid on Long Island named Will Burrell is
(36:43):
in the news after launching his own burger stand and
letting veterans eat for free. It's called Will's Smash Burgers
and a portion of the prophets go to a veteran
related charities like the Gary Sonice Foundation and whatnot. And
he got a He he's just a kid, he's in
(37:05):
his teens and it seems to be going great so far.
He's hooked up with a local butcher and it's will
Smash Burgers up on Long Island. So go get you
some if you're unfortunate enough to have to live in
New York. Guy in Massachusetts bought a powerball ticket, then
(37:28):
lost track thought the drawing had already happened, so he
bought another ticket with the same set of numbers. Each
ticket hit for a million two million bucks. Good for him,
that's awesome.
Speaker 7 (37:42):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (37:43):
I should probably start playing the lottery. I got nothing
to lose but a couple of bucks. I'm not you know,
buying hundreds of dollars of scratchers and just a ticket here,
ticket there, here's another one. A sheriff's department near Denver
shared photos after a wildlife official saved a baby raccoon
that crawled up into a semi It was sleeping up
(38:05):
inside the engine compartment, didn't want to come out. They
eventually got it out, released it back into the wild.
It's it's doing good now, good little yeah, a good
little raccoon. That's all. That's all the good news that
you're gonna have to go try and try and make
(38:25):
your own. A lot of parents out there getting hassled
by their kids about getting a phone. So they asked
the question to science, how old should kids be before
(38:46):
they get their first phone? Well, science says thirteen. A
new study found thirteen is the minimum age kids should
get their first smartphone or be allowed on social media.
Any younger risks their future mental health. And they base
it on a survey of almost two million people in
(39:09):
one hundred and sixty four different countries. Now that's a poll.
Kids who get access to phones in social media before
the age of thirteen are more likely to end up depressed, aggressive,
and emotionally unstable by their mid twenties. You know, like democrats.
(39:31):
The study blamed it on three main things. Poor sleep,
They're way more likely to lie in bed, scrolling, and
the study found it's true even if they don't have
social media, just a phone, they'll deal with cyber bullying
younger than thirteen. And it's not just from other kids.
(39:51):
Being online. That exposes them to all kinds of hate
and it can create four poor family relationships. Once they
they have the internet in their hands, they start drifting
away from other family members. Again, the study found thirteen
is just the minimum. Some experts say keeping them off
phones and Instagram until sixteen might be best. Obviously, there's
(40:16):
a trade off here. It's kind of hard to say
when say no when all their friends are online. So
what do you think the right ages thirteen, sixteen, thirty seven,
maybe thirty seven, probably probably pretty good. Really, Oh it is, man,
(40:37):
They just deal with too much these days and parents
find it hard to say no. Historically, two hundred and
twenty nine years ago, seventeen ninety six, the beautiful city
of Cleveland, Ohio was founded by General Moses Cleveland. And
yes he did have that extra a in there. It's
(41:01):
not really clear why it has dropped for the spelling
of the City one hundred and thirty. Two years ago,
eighteen ninety three, Catherine Lee Bates, a professor at Wellesley College,
wrote the original version of her poem America the Beautiful.
She was inspired by the view from Pike's Peak in Colorado.
