Ernest on our at and T line rate this very moment.
Thank you for being here and welcome back to the program.
Speaker 4 (01:39):
It's a pleasure to be with you this morning.
Speaker 1 (01:42):
You really own a Corvette car dealership, I guess, sir.
Speaker 4 (01:47):
I'm the owner of the business by the name of
Corvette Warehouse dot com, the largest corvette dealer in America.
We're headquartered here in Dallas, Texas.
Speaker 1 (01:56):
Wow, wit, so you drive one of those babies every day.
Speaker 4 (02:00):
I am so fortunate and have the blessings of the
Lord to be able to put me in one of
those cars every day so that I can check them out,
make sure they're servicing ready, and allowing our customer and
our satisfaction department to put these car back one hundred
percent so that they can be driven and sold across
the United States and abroad.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
I love it. So we can buy one from you
wherever we are.
Speaker 4 (02:22):
You can go to Corvette Warehouse dot com and click
through all those buttons and walk through and funnel yourself
into the purchase of the car, or dial the number
that's on Corvette Warhouse dot com and get one. And
I do appreciate the plug. That's very nice of you.
Speaker 3 (02:34):
Well, you know, I'm sorry to divert from the topic,
but you know, I get distracted by shiny things that
one of them.
Speaker 1 (02:45):
Are they they're not going to go all electric with Corvette?
Speaker 3 (02:48):
Are they?
Speaker 1 (02:49):
Or are they?
Speaker 4 (02:50):
You know, that's a great question. We've had the first
hybrid production car in twenty twenty five with the Corvette
Ere and that's not been very very well received by consumer.
Consumers want gas Corvettes. They've tried the electric approach. It
did not go well, sailed for very very low and
the prices for resale were extremely low. So we see
(03:12):
that the consumer wants a gas car. And with the
change of the administration not forcing people to buy gas
car taking away the electric car credit, we believe that
the electric car is going to be a few more
years ahead to have one hundred percent launched. Not just
the hybrid you saw launched in twenty five.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
Totally unrelated, but Ford is dropping the Escape and the
Lincoln Course air to make more ability to produce electric cars.
That's just breaking news today. Those mid size SUVs are gone.
But have you noticed this is totally anecdotal, but the
latest Corvette models have they been having any transmission issues?
Speaker 4 (03:51):
Boy, you're very informed because you've nailed the hammer on
the heads. And twenty twenty, when the Corvette came out
the new body style, the CAA Corvette, they actually had
tremendous service issues. And we've had hundreds one hundred of
them have gone out on us and have to be
serviced by the GM facility to be able to bring
(04:11):
them back to life. But in twenty twenty we had
a lot of transmission issues. Another year it's gotten a
little bit better twenty one, twenty two to twenty three,
and that was because we developed the body of the
Corvette to go to mid engine. You know, some of
our European you know competition and some of the strategic
Alliance partners of GM across the globe have gone you know,
mid engine on their high level sports car and it
(04:32):
just caused the ruckus and that engine and that drive
train and trying to coordinate it with the differential. So
we've we've had a pretty hard time putting the transmissions
and keeping them on the road for the Corvette. Hopefully
these challenges are behind us now.
Speaker 3 (04:46):
Donald Trump told Fox and Friends the other morning, the
President of the United States, that his truest motivation is
that he wants.
Speaker 1 (04:54):
To get to heaven after he dies. Quote. I want
to try to get to heaven. I'm hearing. I'm not
doing well.
Speaker 3 (05:00):
I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole. But
if I can get to heaven, maybe this is one
of the ways.
Speaker 2 (05:06):
To do it.
Speaker 1 (05:07):
What did he make of that?
Speaker 4 (05:10):
I see a man that has been through the ringer,
a person that has been had an attempt at assassination
on him, someone that takes their heart and goes out
every day and tries to do what they think is
good for the globe, and trying to do what's right
and maybe give a chance to pay something back. But
then you see this tremendous pushback by the media and
the people, these anti Trumpers and these people with Trump
(05:32):
ter rainment syndrome. So you know, this man, in my opinion,
he's my hero. He's the person that's gone out every day,
put his life on the line, put his identity on
the line, put his freedom on the line. Because he
used to have this great life where he could get
up and do anything he wants to do every day.
But now he's working eighteen hours a day, seven days
a week, and he's got to take the bullets every day.
(05:53):
The mainstream media is on him. I was reading all
these new feeds last night. We have such good results
coming out of the Trump Putin meeting, of the Trump Vala,
Denvers Andelfki meeting, and all you see is the mainstream
media bashing President Trump. The man is trying to stop
the spenseless warfare that is now killing three to seven
(06:15):
thousand per week in that area of the globe, and
he does not get any credit and on the contrary,
he's getting bullets for it. You can see it coming
from the mainstream media. You can see it from these
Hollywood stars and they're posting on their social media. It's
not just bashing. It is bullet flying at this man
as he's trying to do good. If he can put
this peace deal together, his legacy will be sealed, and
(06:37):
I believe he'll be come down as one of the
greatest presidents in the history of our nation.
Speaker 1 (06:41):
Just fifty seconds.
Speaker 3 (06:42):
But I'm reading in the Telegraph this morning that Russia
is years from victory if they were to press on
and if there was no peace deal, and it could
be two million more casualties before they could conquer Ukraine.
Speaker 4 (06:57):
Absolutely, and those estimates are low. When I went to
military strategy and execution class back in nineteen ninety six,
we had estimated the different approaches of how Russia could
take over different parts of Europe. And some of those
numbers that you gave are actually low, because when you
get into the battlefield and you have the inertial forces
of warfare propelling you forward, there's a lot more collateral
(07:20):
damage that comes along with that.
Speaker 3 (07:22):
