Ar Giggdy geety giggy good Now an ordinary kid on
why Santa is better than Amazon.
Speaker 2 (00:11):
First of all, Santa invented reovernight delivery Amazon whatever. Santa
is a nice jelly belly Grandpa Jeff Bezos is creepy
and bald and has an even creepier girlfriend. Did she
buy those on Amazon? Santa comes to town in a
sleigh with reindeer. Amazon shows up in a dirty blue
(00:31):
van blasting death metal. Santa wraps our presence and gently
puts him under the tree. The tattlet up Amazon guy
casually touches brown boxes on our porch and puts out
a cigarette in the planter. Santa says, ho ho home.
Amazon says more and more and more. Sanna has elves
that work for carry Kane's and gum drops, while Amazon
(00:54):
elves worked for Peanuts. Finally, I would never sit on
Jeff Bezos's swap rowse.

seven eight inches of snow, would I tell you we

Speaker 1 (11:07):
Indeed, yeah, so glad we don't have to deal with
a snow snow shoveling. Could you imagine having to get
up and shovel the walk in the morning here?
Speaker 6 (11:14):
I just know I was higher.
Speaker 9 (11:17):
I got transferred there for a year and it started
snowing one night and I had to work the next day.
It was about ten o'clock at night, so that started snow.
I won't call from corn what whatever I know about snow?
So I'm not just shoveling in the rive day And
my neighbors hurts spitting on his cord, drinking a beer,
laughing at me. So finally I looked over what's going on?
Speaker 6 (11:37):
He said, you an idiot? What are you doing? It's
been to blow back over in ten minutes. I mean
the wind's blowing like twenty miles an hour. Do anything

sent back home and was covered back up, and like, yeah,
I'm anadyot. I just got to learn what I'm doing

Thanks buddy to you?
Speaker 5 (12:19):
Are you listening to me?
Speaker 8 (12:21):
Hey, guys that just push buttons.
Speaker 1 (12:22):
All day, they have no chemistry at all.
Speaker 2 (12:24):
The cycle of jerks has to end.
Speaker 1 (12:26):
You seriously should run with this. Is this saying anything,
Let's go ahead and test station.
Speaker 5 (12:30):
Let's go to the bit bhavn't picked. I don't understand.
Speaker 8 (12:31):
Where's Jujus says, we'll.
Speaker 1 (12:33):
Be right back with Charlotte County speaks on news radio
fifteen eighty WCCF.
Speaker 10 (12:40):
Yeah, it looks like hell's freezing over because I agree
with Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Warren on this one.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
That's right, watch Dog on Wall Street actually agreeing with
Elizabeth Warren. She said the president has stepped up and
said he plans to be a part of the decision
making and says here's what he thinks should happen to CNN.
If that doesn't make the hair on the back of
your next stand up, I don't know what does, because
that's what really the president appears saying, you've got to
make a.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Deal with me.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
That deal with me, Mike Vaba one million dollar plate
dinner in a golden ballroom and buying Crypto. Basically, she's
not happy with Trump, saying that he needs to be
involved in the whole time water drama with Paramount sky
Dance Netflix anyway, neither here nor there. Yeah, yeah, the
(13:27):
president shouldn't be involved with this. My problem with Elizabeth
Warren on this, even though I agree with her, is
she if it was a Democrat president that was saying it,
she'd be all for it.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That's the difference.
Speaker 10 (13:39):
Watchdog on Wall Street dot Com.
Speaker 5 (14:01):
Slive Belsarie, are you listening in the lane?
Speaker 1 (14:09):
Snow is listening? Have beautiful sight.
Speaker 4 (14:16):
We're habiting e walking in new weather wonderland.
Speaker 5 (14:23):
God away.
Speaker 11 (14:26):
Is the new bird.
Speaker 12 (14:29):
Here to stay.
Speaker 5 (14:31):
He's a new bird.
Speaker 1 (14:33):
He sings a love song as we go along.
Speaker 5 (14:40):
Walking in a weather wonderland.

News Radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM WCCF
nine six, Charlotte County speaks on the air. I'm Ken
Lovejoy phone lines open nine four one two zero six,
fifteen eighty Perry Como right there.
Speaker 10 (15:01):
Hey.
Speaker 1 (15:02):
You know, in recent weeks, there's been a lot more
Epstein stuff that's come out, all kinds of photographs and
emails and stuff. I thought everybody wanted the Trump stuff.
(15:22):
Now that we're starting to get it, it's like nobody
wants to talk about it anymore. Why is that? Is
it because Trump's not involved in any of it?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Is that?
Speaker 13 (15:35):
Why?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But that's what the media kept, Oh, the salacious innuendo suggestions,
is Trump involved?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Is he in there?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
He isn't. But a lot of other people are. Bill
Old Bubba Cheese Clinton all over the place several times,
all kinds of photographs, sworn testimony, flight logs, phone records,
first hand witness accounts. Epstein's longtime pilot Larry Veskovsky flew
(16:14):
Epstein's planes for decades. Prince Andrew, Larry Summers, Ron Berkele,
Kevin Spacey, Chris Tucker, nobody scrutinizing them, Bill Gates, mister
(16:40):
let's depopulate a lot, Let's kill a lot of people
with vaccines and depopulate the planet of these pesky human beings.
That guy, what was his preference on Epstein Island? He
was there quite a bit too. Now regrets the length
of time.
Speaker 9 (16:59):
That he was.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Well, yeah, sure, now that it's all coming out, now
that everybody's going to find out what a little purview
are on top of being just completely weird, I would
imagine you regret it. Richard Branson, another big billionaire all
over the place there, so you know Barack even there.
(17:24):
So seriously, that's why you don't want to hear that.
Nobody's talking about the Epstein stuff that much anymore. Yeah,
because too many liberals are going to get roped up
in this. So just watch. It's gonna it's it'll slowly die. Shouldn't,
but it will two six fifteen eighty toll free eight
(17:47):
A eight four four one fifteen eighty. Yes, I did
see that. I've been watching the video during the break.
I've been watching the videos over and over again. Took
out another three narco boats nice vessels transitioning along known
(18:07):
narco trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific. We're engaged in
narco trafficking, trafficking. I mean, you can look and see
the video. You look at the boat, you can see
it aeril. You can tell what's in the boat. It
ain't fish. Yeah, well it's right in line. Sign that
(18:34):
Executive Order Monday designated fentanyl is a weapon of mass
destruction and empowered his administration to take on the quote
concentrated large scale terror attacks by organized adversaries. So this
is going to justify the defense of America against drug cartel's.
Further as, the order directs the Secretary of War and
(18:54):
Secretary of Homeland Security to quote update all directives regarding
the armed force response to chemical incidents in the homeland
to include the threat of illicit fentanyl. I if it's
slowing down the amount of fentanyl getting into the States,
(19:15):
keep it up once, keep it up. Huh No, And
what's the big deal? What did he say?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That was? So?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I mean, have you heard what Rob? I mean, Rob,
I'm kind of yeah. It was a little dig in
the truth social post by the President. But why wouldn't
there be Well, you take your high road, can't really really.
(19:45):
Rob Reiner, on almost a daily basis, said something, yelled something,
some epithet about President Trump even teamed up with Clapper
and Brennan on the Russia Gate things. So, you know, seriously,
(20:08):
I don't think what I think that's about as nice
of a response from the President regarding Meathead as you're
gonna get, or as you should get. Yeah, you just
don't go around talking crap about somebody for over a
decade and expect that person to say something nice about
(20:29):
you in your passing. Yeah, sorry, yeah, well you can tell.
You can tell who the on the conservative side, you
can tell who the whimps are, the Eric Erickson's Yeah,
(20:50):
a lot of whimps over there. I just that's about it.
It's as nice as you could hope for. I don't
think what he said was bad at all. I don't
understand why people are losing their crap over it. Particularly.
Let's just run, just run all the tweets and run
all the audio of everything Meathead has Rob Reiner said
about Trump for the last ten years. End of story. Sorry,
(21:14):
I'm very sorry that Rob Reiner's psychotic son slit his
throat along with his wife. But you know, and Rob
Reiner arguably great comedic director, good comedic actor from all
the family, but outside of that, the dude was a
rabid liberal who hated President Trump. So I don't think
(21:39):
anything that he did is worthy of an apology too.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
See.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Well, your results may vary, but that's just the way
it is. We have some more good news in South America.
Leftists were crushed in a blowout by the conservative presidential
candidate in Chile. Pretty cool from the Wall Street Journal.
(22:07):
Chilean's elected their most right wing president in a generation,
with hardline conservative Jose Antonio Cast winning easily after vowing
to clamp down on crime and illegal immigration, even Chile's
dealing with the illegal aliens. He won every single region,
including all the lefty regions in the big cities. It
(22:30):
wasn't even close. From doctor Ben Braddock tonight. In Chile,
the ultra conservative Jose Antonio Cast, who declared that if
General Pinochet were alive today, clearly he would vote for me,
has won the presidential election in a landslide against the
communist candidate. Awesome. So in the rugged, cowboy like far
(22:56):
south of Chile where the wild things are Montana, Alberta, Alaska,
he won by one hundred percent. It probably helped Chile
was run by a total loser socialist, so people really
got to see up close and personal what a socialist
government means for them a lot less freedom, more disorder,
(23:18):
thugs in charge, idiots like AOC and Ghetto Crocket are
running the show, same smell. After a couple of years
of that, they're like, nah, we don't want you anymore.
And when the leftist administration places a Communist Party member
in front of them as their AOC style chosen candidate,
(23:42):
they people run away from it, so hence the blowout.
In Chile's case, the big issues were crime just like here,
with cops and prosecutors not doing their jobs just like here,
and open borders just like which invited every criminal from
(24:02):
the Third world in without authorization, just like here. Chile
has always been a crime free nation, that is until
the migrants got let in, almost kind of just like here.
Put those two issues together, the crime rates sword, and
with most of the thugs getting in from Venezuela, didn't
(24:25):
take long for Venezuelan state death squads against dissidents to
start turning up, and that happened in Chile. The government
response was feckless, and Chilean's wanted no more of it,
so cass got into office by vowing to build a
wall on Chile's northern border to keep the illegals out.
He won despite the press bid to paint him as
(24:47):
a Nazi based on his father, a Bavarian, being forced
to serve in Hitler's army, same as Pope Benedict had been.
Bavarians are Catholics who reliably hated Hitler, but they also
brought up that his brother Miguel served as a minister
in the military government of Augusto Pinochet, sleazily suggesting that
(25:08):
he had engaged in death squad activity, which was very
scant in Chile, as most of the casualties during that
time of the troubles were armed radical leftist gorillas who
shot at the army first. But his brother Miguel had
nothing to do with any of that. He was an economist,
and not just any economist, but a Chicago boy, a
disciple of Milton Friedman and one of the most brilliant
(25:30):
of them, and served as Pinochet's central bank chief, solidifying
the value of Chile's money after decades of socialist devaluation,
making savings a non losing proposition, killing hyperinflation and setting
the stage for Chile's economic miracle. He was only in
office for a brief time before he died of cancer
at the age of thirty four, yet his contribution was stellar.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Sh so.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Awesome. Chile escaped from socialism. The people is allowed to
and they ain't.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Got no dominion.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Machines down there saying so congratulations to Chile. Awesome. They
chose freedom. Good to see. Good to see. California not
choosing freedom, but a lot of businesses that were in
(26:34):
California are choosing freedom and they're bailing out of California. Valero,
this one's gonna hurt California.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
Valero took a billion a one billion with a b
billion dollar hit just to get the hell out of California.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
That's how bad California energy regulation is. Arrow Energy taking
a staggering billion dollar loss to shut down in exit
California by April of next year rather than comply with
the ever expanding mandates pushed by greasy Gavin Newsom in
his regulatory agencies. Think about it, one of the largest
(27:20):
energy companies in the country looked at Sacramento's rules, did
the math, and said it was cheaper to walk away
and take a billion dollar hit than to play along
with these feckless socialist boobs in California. It's not a
market failure, that's policy failure. Valero's decision brutal indictment of
(27:43):
California's hostile business climate, particularly its war unreliable energy refiners
have been squeezed by low carbon fuel standards, cap and
trade costs, regulatory environments so unpredictable that long term investment
has become nearly impossible. Newscom can spin press releases all
(28:04):
he wants, but when a company willingly eats a billion
dollars to get the hell away from you, the message
is pretty crystal clear. California is ungovernable for serious industry. Californians,
you guys are going to pay the price out there.
You're already at sky high gas prices. Fewer refineries means
(28:25):
tighter fuel supplies, higher gas prices, more dependence on imports.
Sacramento politicians will blame greed or big oil, but the
reality is their own greed and their own big power
desire for it. You can't regulate your way to prosperity,
and you certainly can't punish producers without consequences. Valero's not
(28:48):
alone either. Over the past several years, California has watched
a steady parade of companies pack up and leave. Chevron
announced it's moving its headquarters to Texas, Tesla relocated to Austin, Oracle,
Hewlett Packard, Charles Schwab all followed the same path. Each
exit means lost jobs, lost tax revenue, lost opportunity California.
(29:12):
With Valero leaving, they're losing like four hundred jobs and
the city's going to lose over eleven million in tax money.
It's their own fault. Valero's billion dollar exit should be
a five alarm fire for California demo craps, but they're
too stupid to know what's going on. Newscom and his
(29:36):
allies remain committed to doubling down, even as refineries closed,
prices climbed jobs. Vanish ideology comes first. Reality. Well, we'll
deal with that later. So for Nevada, the lessons equally clear.
The Silver State should keep doing exactly what it's doing.
As long as California keeps pushing companies out, Nevada should
(29:58):
be rolling out the red carpet. Valero's departure isn't just
a loss for California. It's another reminder that bad policy
doesn't stay theoretical. Eventually it sends the bill, and this
time it's a billion dollars. Oha, man, painful, painful, and
(30:18):
what's news? I'm gonna it'll blow it off. It's discussed
in business.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
He's an idiot.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Parents are probably idiots too.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Ken love Joy and Charlotte County Speaks will be right
back on news radio fifteen to eighty WCCF.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
I got a robe for Christmas. I remember looking at
the robe thinking, wow, hope I get the flu so
I can wear it. Man, who has the time to
enjoy a robe? What are we about to shoot a porno?
It's a weird piece of clothing. How'd we even come
up with the robe?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
But some guy he got idea.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
How about we make a coat out of a towel.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
There could be a belt that goes around and you
get dung, the belt in the toilet, toilet belt, the
indoor jacket, the robe. You ever see someone outside in
a robe? They look like they escape from the looney bit.
Just get in the paper before the monsters do, right.
(31:22):
The only time I would wear a robe is when
I'm steeling in that fancy hotel you have that robe
in the closet. I just feel uncomfortable when room service
comes and I'm in a robe, like I'm trying to
seduce the room service guy.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Hello, welcome to my room.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
I'm in my robe and here's the bed I rented.

Speaker 1 (33:00):
There's radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM WCCF
nine point fifty here Charlotte County Speaks. Phone lines open
nine four one two zero six fifteen eighty. Boy uh,
Steve Miller might be right about how much bigger this
(33:24):
whole Minnesota and reportedly Ohio fraud scam is getting. Senator
Kenny Kennedy John Kennedy love that guy just so he's
got something smooth and funny to say. Uh, people are wondering,
(33:49):
you know, how the hell did people get away with
such huge financial crimes. Well, it's already come to lights.
A lot of it had to do with being afraid
of being called a racist. But you had over what
four hundred people, five hundred I think state employees complaining
(34:11):
about this, bitching about this, reporting this, several whistleblowers. What
happened to them? They got retaliated against. But Senator John
Kennedy read an internal memo from the Minnesota Attorney General's
office and they openly say they did not stop the
Somalia immigrant fraud because the Democrats would lose votes. Quote
(34:35):
here's what a fraud investigator in the Attorney General's office said.
She said, there's a perception that I'm quoting now that
forcefully tackling this issue would cause political backlash from the
Somali community, which is a core voting block for Democrats.
Can you imagine that? And new polling indicates Minnesota people
(35:02):
are not happy with tampon Timmy Waltz stolen valor lying
Timmy Waltz over this issue. From the Washington Free Beacon
seventy nine percent of registered voters in Minnesota think fraud
in state programs is either the biggest or a major
problem in their state, and just fourteen percent think Governor
(35:22):
Tim Waltz did enough to stop the fraud. Only fourteen
percent those were probably smallies. In total, ninety two percent
of respondents identified the fraud as a problem. Of that
ninety two percent, twenty five percent called it the biggest
problem in the state, fifty four percent called it a
major problem, and only thirteen percent called it a minor problem.
(35:45):
Sixty nine percent of respondents said Governor Wallas needs to
quote do more to stop fraud in Minnesota. Well, come on,
he was perpetuating it. How the hell is he going
to stop it? So Waltz, really, this is so huge.
We're into the billions of dollars now. We know Waltz
in his administration retaliated against whistleblowers, did not do anything
(36:09):
to stop the fraud, continued it, perpetuated it. The federal
investigation because the state wouldn't do their job and investigate this.
So since federal funds are involved, the Feds get got
into it, and they've already got seventy eight indictments over this.
(36:32):
So don't tell me there's not a there there, because
there's the there there. There's certainly a there there two
oh six fifteen eighty.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
It's going to keep coming out. Too many people are
talking about it. The wine needs to start lawyering up
in Ohio. Speaking of billion dollar hits, this is even
worse Ford. Did you see that Ford announced it took
(37:06):
a massive nineteen point five billion dollar hit putting out evs.
They say it's they're scrapping the uh, the f one
fifty lightning the ev which is pretty cool, truck. I mean,
(37:30):
you know, as far as you know, you know, I'm
not a fan of the EV's, but if you got
the money and an EVS right for you, it's a screamer.
Todd's got one.
Speaker 12 (37:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
But Ford motorpoored billions of dollars into producing evs as
the Biden regime waged war on gas powered vehicles, and
the automaker previously reported that it lost billions of dollars
on their evs. The evs have proven to be nothing
but a money pit for Ford, so yesterday they announced
(38:03):
that Ford would scrap its electric vehicles. After being forced
to write down nineteen and a half billion dollars quote.
This is a customer driven shift to create a stronger,
more resilient, and more profitable Ford. The operating reality has changed,
and we're redeploying capital into higher return growth opportunities like
real cars, gas powered engines. Ford pro are market leading
(38:27):
trucks and vans hybrids, and high margin opportunities like our
new battery energy storage business. Oh they're getting into the
storage power walls now. Probably not a bad move, but
the dearborn, Michigan based automaker going to make a series
of changes in its line of vehicles and production facilities
(38:49):
to focus on producing affordable vehicles that better align with
customer desires. The company will also scrap production of certain
larger evs, including the F one fifty Lightning, which it
will retool as an electric vehicle with a gas power generator,
as well as Okay, as well as redouble development of smaller,
(39:10):
lower cost cars, including a mid size pickup truck for
twenty twenty seven. So all that remember when Drool and
Joe went and took that ride in the F one
to fifty Lightning. Oh dude, they got torque out that
waws Man just yes, very fast, very quick, but again
(39:34):
rather expensive and not practical for most individuals. Just you
know the way it goes. The mandates don't work. You
can't force people to purchase something and have that something
(39:54):
become profitable. The market's going to react the way the
mark people are going to do what people do. They're
not going to listen to your BS mandates for your evs.
How did that work out? Didn't work out too well
for these companies, did it?
Speaker 11 (40:12):
Huh?
Speaker 9 (40:12):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Sure they're still going to be around, but again, overpriced bicklighters,
that's all they are. Fun, fun to drive, yes, torque,
yes fast, Sure, overpriced bicklighters. I'm not changing my mind
(40:35):
on it, and you won't change it, so just don't try.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Yeah, they're doing something out in the conference room. We're
having some sort of Christmas Diddy or something here. But
I'm here till noon, so I hope hopefully there'll be
something left over. Ye, what else we got going on here? Well?
(41:04):
Leaving cookies out, cookies and milk out for Santa is
up thirty one percent from five years ago. Five years ago,
it costs six dollars and forty two cents to leave
milk and cookies out for Santa. Now it's costing you
eight dollars and forty four cents outpacing inflation. All right,
(41:36):
and sadly, the last thing you see when you go
to bed and the first thing you see when you
wake up in the morning probably your phone.

buy those on Amazon? Santa comes to town in a
sleigh with reindeer. Amazon shows up in a dirty blue
(00:31):
van blasting death metal. Santa wraps our presence and gently
puts him under the tree. The tattlet up Amazon guy
casually touches brown boxes on our porch and puts out
a cigarette in the planter. Santa says, ho ho home.
Amazon says more and more and more. Sanna has elves
that work for carry Kane's and gum drops, while Amazon
(00:54):
elves worked for Peanuts. Finally, I would never sit on
Jeff Bezos's swap rowse.

Speaker 10 (12:40):
Yeah, it looks like hell's freezing over because I agree
with Elizabeth.
Speaker 1 (12:44):
Warren on this one.
Speaker 10 (12:45):
That's right, watch Dog on Wall Street actually agreeing with
Elizabeth Warren. She said the president has stepped up and
said he plans to be a part of the decision
making and says here's what he thinks should happen to CNN.
If that doesn't make the hair on the back of
your next stand up, I don't know what does, because
that's what really the president appears saying, you've got to
make a.
Speaker 5 (13:05):
Deal with me.
Speaker 10 (13:06):
That deal with me, Mike Vaba one million dollar plate
dinner in a golden ballroom and buying Crypto. Basically, she's
not happy with Trump, saying that he needs to be
involved in the whole time water drama with Paramount sky
Dance Netflix anyway, neither here nor there. Yeah, yeah, the
(13:27):
president shouldn't be involved with this. My problem with Elizabeth
Warren on this, even though I agree with her, is
she if it was a Democrat president that was saying it,
she'd be all for it.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
That's the difference.

Speaker 1 (15:02):
You know, in recent weeks, there's been a lot more
Epstein stuff that's come out, all kinds of photographs and
emails and stuff. I thought everybody wanted the Trump stuff.
(15:22):
Now that we're starting to get it, it's like nobody
wants to talk about it anymore. Why is that? Is
it because Trump's not involved in any of it?
Speaker 2 (15:35):
Is that?
Speaker 13 (15:35):
Why?
Speaker 1 (15:37):
But that's what the media kept, Oh, the salacious innuendo suggestions,
is Trump involved?
Speaker 5 (15:43):
Is he in there?
Speaker 1 (15:45):
He isn't. But a lot of other people are. Bill
Old Bubba Cheese Clinton all over the place several times,
all kinds of photographs, sworn testimony, flight logs, phone records,

That guy, what was his preference on Epstein Island? He
was there quite a bit too. Now regrets the length

Speaker 9 (16:59):
That he was.
Speaker 1 (17:00):
Well, yeah, sure, now that it's all coming out, now
that everybody's going to find out what a little purview
are on top of being just completely weird, I would
imagine you regret it. Richard Branson, another big billionaire all
over the place there, so you know Barack even there.
(17:24):
So seriously, that's why you don't want to hear that.
Nobody's talking about the Epstein stuff that much anymore. Yeah,
because too many liberals are going to get roped up

I've been watching the videos over and over again. Took
out another three narco boats nice vessels transitioning along known

narco trafficking routes in the Eastern Pacific. We're engaged in
narco trafficking, trafficking. I mean, you can look and see
the video. You look at the boat, you can see
it aeril. You can tell what's in the boat. It
ain't fish. Yeah, well it's right in line. Sign that
(18:34):
Executive Order Monday designated fentanyl is a weapon of mass
destruction and empowered his administration to take on the quote
concentrated large scale terror attacks by organized adversaries. So this
is going to justify the defense of America against drug cartel's.
Further as, the order directs the Secretary of War and
(18:54):
Secretary of Homeland Security to quote update all directives regarding
the armed force response to chemical incidents in the homeland
to include the threat of illicit fentanyl. I if it's
slowing down the amount of fentanyl getting into the States,
(19:15):
keep it up once, keep it up. Huh No, And
what's the big deal? What did he say?
Speaker 2 (19:24):
That was? So?
Speaker 1 (19:24):
I mean, have you heard what Rob? I mean, Rob,
I'm kind of yeah. It was a little dig in
the truth social post by the President. But why wouldn't
there be Well, you take your high road, can't really really.
(19:45):
Rob Reiner, on almost a daily basis, said something, yelled something,
some epithet about President Trump even teamed up with Clapper
and Brennan on the Russia Gate things. So, you know, seriously,
(20:08):
I don't think what I think that's about as nice
of a response from the President regarding Meathead as you're
gonna get, or as you should get. Yeah, you just
don't go around talking crap about somebody for over a
decade and expect that person to say something nice about
(20:29):
you in your passing. Yeah, sorry, yeah, well you can tell.
You can tell who the on the conservative side, you
can tell who the whimps are, the Eric Erickson's Yeah,
(20:50):
a lot of whimps over there. I just that's about it.
It's as nice as you could hope for. I don't
think what he said was bad at all. I don't
understand why people are losing their crap over it. Particularly.
Let's just run, just run all the tweets and run
all the audio of everything Meathead has Rob Reiner said
about Trump for the last ten years. End of story. Sorry,
(21:14):
I'm very sorry that Rob Reiner's psychotic son slit his
throat along with his wife. But you know, and Rob
Reiner arguably great comedic director, good comedic actor from all
the family, but outside of that, the dude was a
rabid liberal who hated President Trump. So I don't think
(21:39):
anything that he did is worthy of an apology too.
Speaker 6 (21:43):
See.
Speaker 1 (21:44):
Well, your results may vary, but that's just the way
it is. We have some more good news in South America.
Leftists were crushed in a blowout by the conservative presidential
candidate in Chile. Pretty cool from the Wall Street Journal.
(22:07):
Chilean's elected their most right wing president in a generation,
with hardline conservative Jose Antonio Cast winning easily after vowing
to clamp down on crime and illegal immigration, even Chile's
dealing with the illegal aliens. He won every single region,
including all the lefty regions in the big cities. It
(22:30):
wasn't even close. From doctor Ben Braddock tonight. In Chile,
the ultra conservative Jose Antonio Cast, who declared that if
General Pinochet were alive today, clearly he would vote for me,
has won the presidential election in a landslide against the
communist candidate. Awesome. So in the rugged, cowboy like far
(22:56):
south of Chile where the wild things are Montana, Alberta, Alaska,
he won by one hundred percent. It probably helped Chile
was run by a total loser socialist, so people really
got to see up close and personal what a socialist
government means for them a lot less freedom, more disorder,
(23:18):
thugs in charge, idiots like AOC and Ghetto Crocket are
running the show, same smell. After a couple of years
of that, they're like, nah, we don't want you anymore.
And when the leftist administration places a Communist Party member
in front of them as their AOC style chosen candidate,
(23:42):
they people run away from it, so hence the blowout.
In Chile's case, the big issues were crime just like here,
with cops and prosecutors not doing their jobs just like here,
and open borders just like which invited every criminal from
(24:02):
the Third world in without authorization, just like here. Chile
has always been a crime free nation, that is until
the migrants got let in, almost kind of just like here.
Put those two issues together, the crime rates sword, and
with most of the thugs getting in from Venezuela, didn't
(24:25):
take long for Venezuelan state death squads against dissidents to
start turning up, and that happened in Chile. The government
response was feckless, and Chilean's wanted no more of it,
so cass got into office by vowing to build a
wall on Chile's northern border to keep the illegals out.
He won despite the press bid to paint him as
(24:47):
a Nazi based on his father, a Bavarian, being forced
to serve in Hitler's army, same as Pope Benedict had been.
Bavarians are Catholics who reliably hated Hitler, but they also
brought up that his brother Miguel served as a minister
in the military government of Augusto Pinochet, sleazily suggesting that
(25:08):
he had engaged in death squad activity, which was very
scant in Chile, as most of the casualties during that
time of the troubles were armed radical leftist gorillas who
shot at the army first. But his brother Miguel had
nothing to do with any of that. He was an economist,
and not just any economist, but a Chicago boy, a
disciple of Milton Friedman and one of the most brilliant
(25:30):
of them, and served as Pinochet's central bank chief, solidifying
the value of Chile's money after decades of socialist devaluation,
making savings a non losing proposition, killing hyperinflation and setting
the stage for Chile's economic miracle. He was only in
office for a brief time before he died of cancer
at the age of thirty four, yet his contribution was stellar.
Speaker 9 (25:56):
Sh so.
Speaker 1 (25:59):
Awesome. Chile escaped from socialism. The people is allowed to
and they ain't.
Speaker 5 (26:11):
Got no dominion.
Speaker 1 (26:12):
Machines down there saying so congratulations to Chile. Awesome. They
chose freedom. Good to see. Good to see. California not
choosing freedom, but a lot of businesses that were in
(26:34):
California are choosing freedom and they're bailing out of California. Valero,
this one's gonna hurt California.
Speaker 11 (26:44):
Valero took a billion a one billion with a b
billion dollar hit just to get the hell out of California.
Speaker 1 (26:55):
That's how bad California energy regulation is. Arrow Energy taking
a staggering billion dollar loss to shut down in exit
California by April of next year rather than comply with
the ever expanding mandates pushed by greasy Gavin Newsom in
his regulatory agencies. Think about it, one of the largest
(27:20):
energy companies in the country looked at Sacramento's rules, did
the math, and said it was cheaper to walk away
and take a billion dollar hit than to play along
with these feckless socialist boobs in California. It's not a
market failure, that's policy failure. Valero's decision brutal indictment of
(27:43):
California's hostile business climate, particularly its war unreliable energy refiners
have been squeezed by low carbon fuel standards, cap and
trade costs, regulatory environments so unpredictable that long term investment
has become nearly impossible. Newscom can spin press releases all
(28:04):
he wants, but when a company willingly eats a billion
dollars to get the hell away from you, the message
is pretty crystal clear. California is ungovernable for serious industry. Californians,
you guys are going to pay the price out there.
You're already at sky high gas prices. Fewer refineries means
(28:25):
tighter fuel supplies, higher gas prices, more dependence on imports.
Sacramento politicians will blame greed or big oil, but the
reality is their own greed and their own big power
desire for it. You can't regulate your way to prosperity,
and you certainly can't punish producers without consequences. Valero's not
(28:48):
alone either. Over the past several years, California has watched
a steady parade of companies pack up and leave. Chevron
announced it's moving its headquarters to Texas, Tesla relocated to Austin, Oracle,
Hewlett Packard, Charles Schwab all followed the same path. Each
exit means lost jobs, lost tax revenue, lost opportunity California.
(29:12):
With Valero leaving, they're losing like four hundred jobs and
the city's going to lose over eleven million in tax money.
It's their own fault. Valero's billion dollar exit should be
a five alarm fire for California demo craps, but they're
too stupid to know what's going on. Newscom and his
(29:36):
allies remain committed to doubling down, even as refineries closed,
prices climbed jobs. Vanish ideology comes first. Reality. Well, we'll
deal with that later. So for Nevada, the lessons equally clear.
The Silver State should keep doing exactly what it's doing.
As long as California keeps pushing companies out, Nevada should
(29:58):
be rolling out the red carpet. Valero's departure isn't just
a loss for California. It's another reminder that bad policy
doesn't stay theoretical. Eventually it sends the bill, and this
time it's a billion dollars. Oha, man, painful, painful, and
(30:18):
what's news? I'm gonna it'll blow it off. It's discussed
in business.
Speaker 6 (30:23):
He's an idiot.
Speaker 9 (30:25):
Parents are probably idiots too.
Speaker 1 (30:26):
Ken love Joy and Charlotte County Speaks will be right
back on news radio fifteen to eighty WCCF.
Speaker 13 (30:34):
I got a robe for Christmas. I remember looking at
the robe thinking, wow, hope I get the flu so
I can wear it. Man, who has the time to
enjoy a robe? What are we about to shoot a porno?
It's a weird piece of clothing. How'd we even come
up with the robe?
Speaker 4 (30:53):
But some guy he got idea.
Speaker 1 (30:56):
How about we make a coat out of a towel.
Speaker 13 (31:00):
There could be a belt that goes around and you
get dung, the belt in the toilet, toilet belt, the
indoor jacket, the robe. You ever see someone outside in
a robe? They look like they escape from the looney bit.
Just get in the paper before the monsters do, right.
(31:22):
The only time I would wear a robe is when
I'm steeling in that fancy hotel you have that robe
in the closet. I just feel uncomfortable when room service
comes and I'm in a robe, like I'm trying to
seduce the room service guy.
Speaker 1 (31:34):
Hello, welcome to my room.
Speaker 13 (31:37):
I'm in my robe and here's the bed I rented.
Speaker 5 (31:42):
Is there any anything I could do to be more creepy?
I'm stealing by your window, Dear mom.
Speaker 12 (32:02):
Try and understand your man, mister can't across the great divide.
Speaker 5 (32:10):
Just grab your cat, didn't take that ride, get your.
Speaker 1 (32:16):
Sell pH Fried, and bring your.
Speaker 5 (32:20):
Children down to your real side.
Speaker 12 (32:24):
Set the bowl. In my younger days, near they wrote
my le but I changed my mind for the better
that the still had my field across a great divide.
(32:44):
Just grab your cat, didn't take that round to self,
oh Fried, and bring your children down side.
Speaker 1 (33:00):
There's radio fifteen eighty one hundred point nine FM WCCF
nine point fifty here Charlotte County Speaks. Phone lines open
nine four one two zero six fifteen eighty. Boy uh,
Steve Miller might be right about how much bigger this
(33:24):
whole Minnesota and reportedly Ohio fraud scam is getting. Senator
Kenny Kennedy John Kennedy love that guy just so he's
got something smooth and funny to say. Uh, people are wondering,
(33:49):
you know, how the hell did people get away with
such huge financial crimes. Well, it's already come to lights.
A lot of it had to do with being afraid
of being called a racist. But you had over what
four hundred people, five hundred I think state employees complaining
(34:11):
about this, bitching about this, reporting this, several whistleblowers. What
happened to them? They got retaliated against. But Senator John
Kennedy read an internal memo from the Minnesota Attorney General's
office and they openly say they did not stop the
Somalia immigrant fraud because the Democrats would lose votes. Quote
(34:35):
here's what a fraud investigator in the Attorney General's office said.
She said, there's a perception that I'm quoting now that
forcefully tackling this issue would cause political backlash from the
Somali community, which is a core voting block for Democrats.
Can you imagine that? And new polling indicates Minnesota people
(35:02):
are not happy with tampon Timmy Waltz stolen valor lying
Timmy Waltz over this issue. From the Washington Free Beacon
seventy nine percent of registered voters in Minnesota think fraud
in state programs is either the biggest or a major
problem in their state, and just fourteen percent think Governor
(35:22):
Tim Waltz did enough to stop the fraud. Only fourteen
percent those were probably smallies. In total, ninety two percent
of respondents identified the fraud as a problem. Of that
ninety two percent, twenty five percent called it the biggest
problem in the state, fifty four percent called it a
major problem, and only thirteen percent called it a minor problem.
(35:45):
Sixty nine percent of respondents said Governor Wallas needs to
quote do more to stop fraud in Minnesota. Well, come on,
he was perpetuating it. How the hell is he going
to stop it? So Waltz, really, this is so huge.
We're into the billions of dollars now. We know Waltz
in his administration retaliated against whistleblowers, did not do anything
(36:09):
to stop the fraud, continued it, perpetuated it. The federal
investigation because the state wouldn't do their job and investigate this.
So since federal funds are involved, the Feds get got
into it, and they've already got seventy eight indictments over this.
(36:32):
So don't tell me there's not a there there, because
there's the there there. There's certainly a there there two
oh six fifteen eighty.
Speaker 5 (36:45):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (36:45):
It's going to keep coming out. Too many people are
talking about it. The wine needs to start lawyering up
in Ohio. Speaking of billion dollar hits, this is even
worse Ford. Did you see that Ford announced it took
(37:06):
a massive nineteen point five billion dollar hit putting out evs.
They say it's they're scrapping the uh, the f one
fifty lightning the ev which is pretty cool, truck. I mean,
(37:30):
you know, as far as you know, you know, I'm
not a fan of the EV's, but if you got
the money and an EVS right for you, it's a screamer.
Todd's got one.
Speaker 12 (37:41):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (37:42):
But Ford motorpoored billions of dollars into producing evs as
the Biden regime waged war on gas powered vehicles, and
the automaker previously reported that it lost billions of dollars
on their evs. The evs have proven to be nothing
but a money pit for Ford, so yesterday they announced
(38:03):
that Ford would scrap its electric vehicles. After being forced
to write down nineteen and a half billion dollars quote.
This is a customer driven shift to create a stronger,
more resilient, and more profitable Ford. The operating reality has changed,
and we're redeploying capital into higher return growth opportunities like
real cars, gas powered engines. Ford pro are market leading
(38:27):
trucks and vans hybrids, and high margin opportunities like our
new battery energy storage business. Oh they're getting into the
storage power walls now. Probably not a bad move, but
the dearborn, Michigan based automaker going to make a series
of changes in its line of vehicles and production facilities
(38:49):
to focus on producing affordable vehicles that better align with
customer desires. The company will also scrap production of certain
larger evs, including the F one fifty Lightning, which it
will retool as an electric vehicle with a gas power generator,
as well as Okay, as well as redouble development of smaller,
(39:10):
lower cost cars, including a mid size pickup truck for
twenty twenty seven. So all that remember when Drool and
Joe went and took that ride in the F one
to fifty Lightning. Oh dude, they got torque out that
waws Man just yes, very fast, very quick, but again
(39:34):
rather expensive and not practical for most individuals. Just you
know the way it goes. The mandates don't work. You
can't force people to purchase something and have that something
(39:54):
become profitable. The market's going to react the way the
mark people are going to do what people do. They're
not going to listen to your BS mandates for your evs.
How did that work out? Didn't work out too well
for these companies, did it?
Speaker 11 (40:12):
Huh?
Speaker 9 (40:12):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (40:12):
Sure they're still going to be around, but again, overpriced bicklighters,
that's all they are. Fun, fun to drive, yes, torque,
yes fast, Sure, overpriced bicklighters. I'm not changing my mind
(40:35):
on it, and you won't change it, so just don't try.
Speaker 2 (40:42):
Huh.
Speaker 1 (40:43):
Yeah, they're doing something out in the conference room. We're
having some sort of Christmas Diddy or something here. But
I'm here till noon, so I hope hopefully there'll be
something left over. Ye, what else we got going on here? Well?
(41:04):
Leaving cookies out, cookies and milk out for Santa is
up thirty one percent from five years ago. Five years ago,
it costs six dollars and forty two cents to leave
milk and cookies out for Santa. Now it's costing you
eight dollars and forty four cents outpacing inflation. All right,
(41:36):
and sadly, the last thing you see when you go
to bed and the first thing you see when you
wake up in the morning probably your phone.
Speaker 6 (41:56):
I know right.
Speaker 1 (42:00):
