Radio Host Brian Rust on Voter Morale

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.320 --> 00:00:06.240
Broadcasting from the world's most beautiful beaches
in sunny Storida. Here's the soldier,

2
00:00:06.480 --> 00:00:11.400
storyteller, historian, and maybe a
bit of a hell raiser. It's Dave

3
00:00:11.519 --> 00:00:22.079
Carter, and this is the Dave
Carter Show. Well that's right, folks.

4
00:00:23.120 --> 00:00:28.879
There are ice storms and brutal temperatures
all over the place. So it

5
00:00:28.879 --> 00:00:35.039
appears as someone somewhere leads to broadcast
from Paradise, and I nominate heat.

6
00:00:37.039 --> 00:00:40.280
But if it helps, if it
helps at all. Having done three tours

7
00:00:40.280 --> 00:00:43.280
of duty in the Middle East and
a year in Korea, and a million

8
00:00:43.280 --> 00:00:47.240
miles across the country in an eighteen
wheeler in eight years, trying to avoid

9
00:00:47.240 --> 00:00:51.920
becoming a statistic in the idiotically violent
city of Memphis, I submit that I've

10
00:00:51.920 --> 00:00:56.920
already served my time in Hell,
and I'm delighted to occupy a comparatively pristine

11
00:00:56.960 --> 00:01:00.159
perch here in Panama City, Florida. We've got what I believe you will

12
00:01:00.200 --> 00:01:03.560
find to be a very compelling program
to day. In a few moments,

13
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:08.560
we'll hear from my guest, who
was the number one talcos talk show host

14
00:01:08.799 --> 00:01:12.680
in Panama City and arguably in this
part of the state, Brian Rust,

15
00:01:12.680 --> 00:01:17.319
who has been in the broadcast business
road three decades now, will be alone

16
00:01:17.359 --> 00:01:21.319
to talk about his observations and perspectives
as he talks with normal folks, you

17
00:01:21.359 --> 00:01:23.560
know, the people who go to
work, played by the rules, and

18
00:01:23.719 --> 00:01:27.920
make America work. So you'll definitely
want to hang around for that who should

19
00:01:27.920 --> 00:01:32.599
be coming up in a short while. But first, I mentioned at the

20
00:01:32.640 --> 00:01:37.280
outset that I've lived for a significant
amount of time in Memphis, and we've

21
00:01:37.280 --> 00:01:42.280
all heard and seen, at least
in part, the absolute heartbreaking story of

22
00:01:42.280 --> 00:01:47.560
the death of Tyree Nichols at the
hands of police officers in Memphis. Many

23
00:01:47.599 --> 00:01:53.159
times in the past people have divided
into camps that are predictably reflective of their

24
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.480
political alliances, but this time there's
near universal condemnation of the appalling conduct of

25
00:01:59.480 --> 00:02:04.200
the office is who administered such a
beating to mister Nichols. Let me if

26
00:02:04.239 --> 00:02:07.879
I may address this from the perspective
of someone who lived in Memphis and who

27
00:02:07.919 --> 00:02:10.800
had a front row seat to some
of the best people you can hope to

28
00:02:10.840 --> 00:02:15.879
find in that city and some of
the worst examples of human behavior that you

29
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:21.719
can imagine, And I would respectfully
submit that there are no heroes, and

30
00:02:21.759 --> 00:02:28.319
there are no saints in this story. The repulsive, idiotic, and reptilian

31
00:02:28.439 --> 00:02:32.840
slurs and putrid hate that these officers
used when trying to subdue Tyree Nichols should

32
00:02:32.879 --> 00:02:38.560
embarrass anyone who's ever worn the badge
and should be result in the automatic firing

33
00:02:38.840 --> 00:02:43.439
of any ostensible professional who uses that
kind of language. They sounded more like

34
00:02:43.560 --> 00:02:49.280
the mindless thugs that comprise that city's
idiotic gang culture than anyone wearing a badge

35
00:02:49.280 --> 00:02:53.080
should ever sound like. And believe
me, I've heard these morons because they

36
00:02:53.080 --> 00:02:58.599
were the same kind of people who
routinely shoplifted and robbed the retail stores in

37
00:02:58.639 --> 00:03:01.199
which I worked when I lived in
Memphis. And the way these thugs with

38
00:03:01.439 --> 00:03:07.680
badges manhandle and beat Tyree Nichols shows
that whatever training they received from the Memphis

39
00:03:07.759 --> 00:03:14.680
Police Department clearly was insufficient to overcome
their invincible stupidity. I say that there

40
00:03:14.719 --> 00:03:19.919
are no heroes in this story,
and I mean that because, as unpopular

41
00:03:20.199 --> 00:03:24.439
as this may be, folks,
if you're surrounded by five police officers who

42
00:03:24.439 --> 00:03:28.400
demand that you get on the ground
and put your hands behind your back,

43
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:32.400
do it. If you decide to
resist and even to try and run away,

44
00:03:32.879 --> 00:03:36.719
your situation's not going to improve,
and you're not going to have a

45
00:03:36.759 --> 00:03:38.800
good day. It bears I don't
mean to be trite, but it bears

46
00:03:38.840 --> 00:03:44.759
repeating that resisting arrest is not going
to work in your favor. Ever,

47
00:03:45.400 --> 00:03:50.400
it was a stupid thing to do, but Tyree Nichols never presented a mortal

48
00:03:50.479 --> 00:03:53.400
threat in any way to those officers, and he shouldn't have had to pay

49
00:03:53.439 --> 00:03:58.680
for his poor choices with his life. He did not deserve to die.

50
00:04:00.479 --> 00:04:04.080
What this was and it was described
pretty well by a black commentator, Jason

51
00:04:04.120 --> 00:04:08.560
Whitlock, who's been on this show. By the way, he said,

52
00:04:08.639 --> 00:04:13.919
quote, this is a story about
young black men and their inability to treat

53
00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:17.000
each other in a humane way.
It was a group of young black men,

54
00:04:17.279 --> 00:04:24.959
five on one, and it looked
like gang violence to men. Well,

55
00:04:24.959 --> 00:04:29.800
based on what I saw and on
my own experience seeing the culture up

56
00:04:29.800 --> 00:04:32.800
close and personal for eight years,
I think Jason Whitlock is actually onto something.

57
00:04:32.839 --> 00:04:38.480
I think that he's on point here. So what to do now?

58
00:04:38.480 --> 00:04:44.519
A writer on Ricochet summed up the
conundrum like this quote, Imagine you are

59
00:04:44.519 --> 00:04:48.079
a police officer in Memphis, a
crime ridden majority black city. All you

60
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:53.120
see on the job day in and
day out, year after year, without

61
00:04:53.240 --> 00:04:58.399
let up and without any apparent hope
of future change. Is violent black crime

62
00:04:58.560 --> 00:05:03.560
mostly perpetrated again other blacks. Do
you think that maybe that would have some

63
00:05:03.759 --> 00:05:08.920
kind of profound effect on you?
I mean, is there any human being

64
00:05:08.959 --> 00:05:14.959
alive who could somehow manage to maintain
some pristine, unbiased neutrality such that he

65
00:05:15.000 --> 00:05:18.879
wouldn't cop an attitude about the people
creating all the wanton crime, murder,

66
00:05:18.879 --> 00:05:26.160
and mayhem. These are all valid
points, and I would suggest that what

67
00:05:26.279 --> 00:05:29.639
Memphis, in every police department in
the country needs, and this is not

68
00:05:29.839 --> 00:05:32.920
said in a trite way, is
a professional police force. But that's tough

69
00:05:33.000 --> 00:05:39.319
to do, especially after the race
riots of twenty twenty and the widespread vilification

70
00:05:39.399 --> 00:05:44.480
of law enforcement, generally in the
most violent cities. A huge number of

71
00:05:44.519 --> 00:05:47.800
police officers have done well what I
did, and I'm not even a cop.

72
00:05:47.959 --> 00:05:51.399
They got the hell out of there. Serving your country in a combat

73
00:05:51.519 --> 00:05:57.199
zone is one thing. Giving your
life because some knitwit decides to be fun

74
00:05:57.240 --> 00:06:00.560
to shoot a firearm at a random
vehicle on the road is something altogether different.

75
00:06:01.519 --> 00:06:08.360
What then happens is that police departments
find themselves undermanned, which caused us

76
00:06:08.360 --> 00:06:13.639
a corresponding spike in crime, because
the criminals know their chances of being caught

77
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:19.879
just god smaller. What then happens
is that police departments desperate to fill vacancies

78
00:06:20.279 --> 00:06:25.839
start hiring applicants who normally would not
qualify to where the badge, which is

79
00:06:25.879 --> 00:06:30.360
what happened in Memphis, where the
city went so far as to offer waivers

80
00:06:30.399 --> 00:06:34.279
to applicants who had felony convictions,
which makes as much sense as Oh,

81
00:06:34.360 --> 00:06:39.439
I don't know, putting Hunter Biden
in charge of a police vice unit.

82
00:06:39.639 --> 00:06:44.800
I mean, it's just stupid.
A diversity hire is not a guarantee of

83
00:06:44.839 --> 00:06:48.519
efficient or effective policing. In your
zeal to have a force that looks like

84
00:06:48.560 --> 00:06:53.600
the community, you shouldn't settle on
a force that acts like the worst elements

85
00:06:53.680 --> 00:07:00.519
of that community. Maybe it's time
to embrace a policy and professional ethought that

86
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:06.040
holds that the content of one's characters
supersedes and immutable characteristics over which one has

87
00:07:06.079 --> 00:07:11.279
no control, i e. The
color of one's skin. Heard that before,

88
00:07:11.759 --> 00:07:15.560
Maybe it's time to adopt a policy
of strict enforcement with enough teeth to

89
00:07:15.600 --> 00:07:19.959
restore order in a city that desperately
needs it, Do I think that will

90
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:26.600
happen? Sadly, No, the
political will wasn't there, and the civic

91
00:07:26.639 --> 00:07:30.839
accountability, as expressed by the majority
of voters themselves, is also absent.

92
00:07:32.360 --> 00:07:40.319
But restoring the professional the professional accountability
of law enforcement itself might mitigate some of

93
00:07:40.360 --> 00:07:46.480
the damage and maybe tilt things in
a more favorable direction. Coming up,

94
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:48.800
we'll have Black Lives Matters reaction to
the day's report of a man who shot

95
00:07:48.800 --> 00:07:54.199
a police officer in a public library
in Memphis, and their reaction to a

96
00:07:54.240 --> 00:07:58.160
convicted sex offenders raping of a woman
inside a Memphis hospital, along with their

97
00:07:58.279 --> 00:08:03.160
universal condemnation scheduled protest after a five
year old Memphis child dies after being shot

98
00:08:03.199 --> 00:08:09.639
in the Parkway Village section of Memphis. Wait, I'm sorry, No,

99
00:08:09.759 --> 00:08:13.560
I'm sorry. Black Lives Matter has
no public reaction to these incidents, all

100
00:08:13.560 --> 00:08:18.959
of which took place on a normal
day in Memphis. Oh well, because

101
00:08:20.000 --> 00:08:26.040
some people just need to pass on
the head were a hammer? Dave Carter

102
00:08:26.279 --> 00:08:33.759
on Ricochet. As some of you
may be aware, I had a fun

103
00:08:33.799 --> 00:08:37.600
time on Terrestaural Radio a couple of
weeks ago talking with Whiskey Dave on Real

104
00:08:37.600 --> 00:08:41.960
Side Radio and Dave was asking you
if I had a sense of how people,

105
00:08:41.240 --> 00:08:43.720
the people I talk with each day, you're doing with respect to the

106
00:08:43.720 --> 00:08:48.159
current economic conditions. And the folks
and I've talked to are basically business owners,

107
00:08:48.440 --> 00:08:52.559
so they're essentially trying to keep their
businesses, body and soul together in

108
00:08:52.679 --> 00:08:56.399
one place. I suspect that my
guest today has a much better feel for

109
00:08:56.440 --> 00:08:58.679
how the average Joe out there is
getting along though. Brian Russ is the

110
00:08:58.720 --> 00:09:03.120
morning host at WYOO News Talk at
one oh one here in Panama City,

111
00:09:03.120 --> 00:09:07.039
Panama City Beach and the whole surrounding
area of Bay County. He's also the

112
00:09:07.080 --> 00:09:13.279
operations manager at Magic Broadcasting. Brian's
broadcast career goes back thirty three years,

113
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:15.879
covering much of the eastern half of
the country. And I've listened to his

114
00:09:15.960 --> 00:09:18.759
show and he's got a fantastic way
of connecting with people and talking with him

115
00:09:18.799 --> 00:09:24.240
in a truly engaging way and then
a fit of well insanity. He was

116
00:09:24.279 --> 00:09:26.799
actually a candidate for the Bay County
Commission at one point, underscoring his own

117
00:09:26.799 --> 00:09:31.440
affection and love for this remarkable part
of the country. And it's a treatment

118
00:09:31.440 --> 00:09:33.399
honor to welcome him here. To
the program. Brian, how are you

119
00:09:33.399 --> 00:09:35.799
doing, sir? I'm doing fantastic
day. How are you? I'm having

120
00:09:35.799 --> 00:09:39.240
more fun than either one of us
deserves to have. I think at this

121
00:09:39.279 --> 00:09:43.360
point that's the spirit. There you
go. So now you were on this

122
00:09:43.440 --> 00:09:48.919
morning and every morning from five till
eight local time here, So you've been

123
00:09:48.919 --> 00:09:50.360
going strong old day to this point. Right, you've been up for like

124
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.080
thirty seven hour normally thirty four hour
work day. Is that what it is?

125
00:09:56.080 --> 00:09:58.480
Yeah, we're going on twelve and
a half hours now, Lord have

126
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:01.120
mercy, Like, do you keep
the caffeine on an ivy drip or something

127
00:10:01.120 --> 00:10:03.000
so you can keep doing this?
I do. It's all about the caffeine.

128
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.960
You keep that flowing and then you're
good. So what were you and

129
00:10:07.120 --> 00:10:11.679
your listeners commiserating about on your show
this morning? I heard you on a

130
00:10:11.799 --> 00:10:16.000
righteous tear at some point about the
gop Republicans in the house. But what

131
00:10:16.200 --> 00:10:18.960
was the gist show? Oh?
Oh, geez, there. When you

132
00:10:18.039 --> 00:10:20.519
start on a tear, I'm on
so many of them every day, but

133
00:10:20.679 --> 00:10:26.279
that particular one. I was on
a tear upon how the Republican Party has

134
00:10:26.360 --> 00:10:31.480
really failed at being able to deliver
their message and to really get out there

135
00:10:31.480 --> 00:10:37.279
and reach the new voters and even
reach like the old voters. It's almost

136
00:10:37.279 --> 00:10:43.240
like it's a bad groundhog Day,
you know, pun intended with groundhog Day

137
00:10:43.320 --> 00:10:46.240
being just yesterday. Um, you
know, And it's one of these things

138
00:10:46.240 --> 00:10:48.799
where the Republican Party has never been
able to be good at it. The

139
00:10:48.879 --> 00:10:52.279
only time that they've ever been good
has been one time. And that's what

140
00:10:52.519 --> 00:10:56.720
Donald Trump, who was able to
get to all of the bs, actually

141
00:10:56.759 --> 00:11:01.440
deliver a message and people understood it. They knew exactly what Donald Trump was

142
00:11:01.480 --> 00:11:05.320
talking about. And you know,
that's the reason for one of the many

143
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.919
reasons for why Donald Trump was so
successful in twenty and sixteen. He never

144
00:11:07.960 --> 00:11:11.600
should have been president, you know
that that it didn't fit the mold,

145
00:11:11.799 --> 00:11:16.080
it didn't fit the idea that they
wanted, and he busted right through it

146
00:11:16.440 --> 00:11:20.080
by actually reaching out. And the
Democrats weren't prepared for that. They weren't

147
00:11:20.120 --> 00:11:26.519
prepared for a Republican to actually deliver
a message. And since then again it

148
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:28.559
went right back to not knowing how
to do it. And you know,

149
00:11:28.600 --> 00:11:31.440
with twenty twenty four coming up,
you know, this is one of these

150
00:11:31.480 --> 00:11:37.240
things where the Republicans they don't have
um really much to go on except for

151
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:41.360
the House. And you know,
if they don't get a message out with

152
00:11:41.519 --> 00:11:46.080
everything that they're passing and that the
Democrats block it, the Democrats are going

153
00:11:46.120 --> 00:11:48.559
to make them out to be like
a bunch of moobs. Again. Well,

154
00:11:48.559 --> 00:11:52.519
and you said, you said yourself
a moment ago that when he came

155
00:11:52.759 --> 00:11:56.720
through, we bust through the hold, he broke the mold. I think

156
00:11:56.720 --> 00:11:58.480
you just said about Donald Trump.
And I guess the problem is that they

157
00:11:58.480 --> 00:12:03.919
weren't you to that, speaking of
the standard geop folks, and they went

158
00:12:03.000 --> 00:12:07.159
right back to the mold. I
guess that's all they know, or they

159
00:12:07.240 --> 00:12:11.120
were so distracted by his own um
bravado. I guess that they lost track

160
00:12:11.159 --> 00:12:15.200
of how to actually get the message
through. Is that correct? You think?

161
00:12:15.519 --> 00:12:16.279
Yeah? You know, I think
it was a lot of um.

162
00:12:18.159 --> 00:12:22.200
You know one, Oh, it's
a Republican and the Republican parties they don't

163
00:12:22.200 --> 00:12:24.960
know how to do this. We
do and we'll get the message out.

164
00:12:24.039 --> 00:12:28.519
And you know, the elitist on
the coast they don't like Donald Chump because

165
00:12:28.559 --> 00:12:31.240
he doesn't speak to them. And
you know, the problem is that the

166
00:12:31.279 --> 00:12:35.240
message that he delivered was to the
people that were sick and tired. They're

167
00:12:35.279 --> 00:12:39.320
the people that always listen to the
crap that gets put out, but they

168
00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:43.559
never react. And then Donald Chump
starts talking, and you've got this Middle

169
00:12:43.559 --> 00:12:48.320
America, literally Middle America and the
middle class waking up, going gang.

170
00:12:48.399 --> 00:12:52.759
Finally somebody that actually gets it,
understands us and is fighting for what we

171
00:12:52.960 --> 00:12:56.679
want. And I think that's what
woke them up. And you would think

172
00:12:56.679 --> 00:13:01.000
that the Republican Party would have would
have like caught onto that, but clearly

173
00:13:01.039 --> 00:13:03.039
they didn't. I mean, they
re elected Ronald McDaniel back to the R

174
00:13:03.120 --> 00:13:07.600
and C chairs, right. What
does that tell you? So the folks

175
00:13:07.639 --> 00:13:11.440
that you talk to here in northwest
Florida this and we'll stipulate that this is

176
00:13:11.480 --> 00:13:16.519
a predominantly conservative area. Um,
do you think that they are necessarily out

177
00:13:16.519 --> 00:13:20.399
of step with the rest of the
country or do you think Middle America is

178
00:13:20.440 --> 00:13:22.159
kind of the same way that the
folks here are. And what are you

179
00:13:22.200 --> 00:13:24.720
hearing from them about what you're saying
right now? Do they have to share

180
00:13:24.720 --> 00:13:28.679
the same concerns you do? Uh? Yeah, I think they do.

181
00:13:28.960 --> 00:13:31.440
And you know the cool thing about
the show is, you know it's streams

182
00:13:31.480 --> 00:13:35.720
live on the Internet, and we
actually have a lot of people from around

183
00:13:35.759 --> 00:13:39.879
the country that do chime in.
I get some people from from around the

184
00:13:39.879 --> 00:13:43.679
country that actually do call into the
show while they're listening on the stream.

185
00:13:43.159 --> 00:13:48.399
So, you know what, what
a lot of people here are saying is

186
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:50.080
still kind of what a lot of
people around the rest of the country are

187
00:13:50.120 --> 00:13:56.200
also saying. They're just in other
areas that they're not quite as able to

188
00:13:56.240 --> 00:13:58.799
be as open as they are in
the Panhandle of Florida. I mean,

189
00:14:00.159 --> 00:14:03.919
anybody that watches any politics in the
state of Florida, you know, on

190
00:14:03.080 --> 00:14:07.639
election night there's always this you know, needle biting thing at seven o'clock and

191
00:14:07.679 --> 00:14:09.960
all of a sudden, everybody's going, oh my god, what's going on?

192
00:14:11.360 --> 00:14:13.840
You know, and those that know
say, hang on a second,

193
00:14:13.879 --> 00:14:16.200
wait for the Panhandle, Wait for
the Panhandle, right right, the panhandle

194
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:20.600
ballance close and then boom, it's
a whole different story. So openly,

195
00:14:20.720 --> 00:14:24.559
this is a very conservative, very
military are so people don't have that problem

196
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:26.840
with getting out there and expressing themselves. In other parts of the country,

197
00:14:26.879 --> 00:14:31.000
it's hard to do that because the
Democrats are so nasty towards anybody that doesn't

198
00:14:31.039 --> 00:14:35.480
fit their ideology. So people may
have the same thought plattern that we do

199
00:14:35.600 --> 00:14:41.320
here, they just don't really have
that openness to be able to express it

200
00:14:41.399 --> 00:14:43.399
like we can here. I'm going
to ask you a question that everybody asked

201
00:14:43.399 --> 00:14:46.240
me all the time, and sometimes
I struggle with it. So why shouldn't

202
00:14:46.240 --> 00:14:50.159
you join in on the fun I've
been asked before because we're driving an eighteen

203
00:14:50.159 --> 00:14:54.679
wheeler as all over the country and
then doing retail in different parts of the

204
00:14:54.679 --> 00:14:58.240
country, and I get asked about
how folks out there feeling with respect to

205
00:14:58.440 --> 00:15:01.679
the economic conditions that they're having him
And as you know right now, I'll

206
00:15:01.679 --> 00:15:05.840
deal mainly with business owners who have
their own concerns as well. So you're

207
00:15:05.919 --> 00:15:07.679
listeners, do they tell you give
you an idea of what the average job

208
00:15:07.679 --> 00:15:11.600
out there is, what kind of
pinch they're feeling from inflation and the other

209
00:15:11.600 --> 00:15:16.279
things that are going on. Yeah, you know, I think I think

210
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:20.399
the pinch that they really feel is
is what pretty much all of America,

211
00:15:20.480 --> 00:15:24.799
including Democrats, Uh, they're feeling. You know, when when it comes

212
00:15:24.840 --> 00:15:28.080
to you know, food, you
know, people are are being more stingy

213
00:15:28.120 --> 00:15:31.519
on what it is if they spend
their money on because they know they've got

214
00:15:31.519 --> 00:15:33.399
to buy food. I mean,
there was a story that was in the

215
00:15:33.399 --> 00:15:37.720
news today about how a local chicken
farmer his finally said screw it and just

216
00:15:37.759 --> 00:15:41.960
bought more chickens to help out local
people because you just can't get it in

217
00:15:43.039 --> 00:15:46.320
the grocery store and it's too expensive. So this guy just bought I think

218
00:15:46.799 --> 00:15:50.080
I want to say it was like
twelve dozen or twenty five dozen more chickens

219
00:15:50.440 --> 00:15:54.519
so that he could produce eggs.
So yeah, I mean people, they're

220
00:15:54.559 --> 00:15:56.840
all feeling it here. I mean, there's no doubt about that, and

221
00:15:58.120 --> 00:16:02.320
people are pretty open about the fact
that they're feeling it. And I think

222
00:16:02.320 --> 00:16:06.360
there's a sense of anger when we
see, you know, another thirty billion,

223
00:16:06.440 --> 00:16:08.559
forty billion going to Ukraine, when
we see, you know, all

224
00:16:08.559 --> 00:16:14.120
this money that's going to border patrol
for foreign countries in the Middle East,

225
00:16:14.120 --> 00:16:18.039
but can't put anything here to protect
us. So yeah, I think people

226
00:16:18.080 --> 00:16:22.120
are really feeling it. And you
know, I think in some ways people

227
00:16:22.120 --> 00:16:25.879
are at the point where they're kind
of in a shock that it's really going

228
00:16:25.879 --> 00:16:29.480
on because everything has gone up so
much that they're just kind of going through

229
00:16:29.519 --> 00:16:30.919
it. But they feel the struggle
without a doubt. Are they are the

230
00:16:30.960 --> 00:16:36.799
folks share around here pleased with the
results of the mid term elections or are

231
00:16:36.840 --> 00:16:41.480
they kind of not sure, they're
holding back or what are they telling you

232
00:16:41.720 --> 00:16:45.799
they're not pleased with it? But
at the same time, it's it's one

233
00:16:45.840 --> 00:16:51.440
of those that figures, you know
again because we're so used to the Republican

234
00:16:51.519 --> 00:16:55.279
Party screwing things up, and you
know, it started off so big with

235
00:16:55.639 --> 00:16:56.960
you know, the Republican Party going, oh, it's gonna be a red

236
00:16:57.000 --> 00:17:00.120
tsunami, it's gonna be amazing,
it's gonna be this. But then you

237
00:17:00.159 --> 00:17:03.799
know, perfect example of the Senate
race with herschel Walker. You know,

238
00:17:03.960 --> 00:17:08.480
the only Republican that went there aside
from Donald Chubb given some endorsements, was

239
00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:14.160
Lindsey Graham. Nobody cares about Lindsey
Graham, right, you know, especially

240
00:17:14.160 --> 00:17:17.400
in Georgia. So I mean there
was there was no effort that was put

241
00:17:17.440 --> 00:17:19.519
in once again by the Republican Party, no messaging that was put in,

242
00:17:19.960 --> 00:17:23.039
and of course they lost. So
it's kind of one of those everybody went

243
00:17:23.519 --> 00:17:27.519
figures. You know. It's almost
like being a New England sports fan,

244
00:17:29.000 --> 00:17:30.559
you know, growing up, right, you always like, you know,

245
00:17:30.720 --> 00:17:34.240
go Boston Red Sox, Go Bruins, Go Celtics, go pay Oh,

246
00:17:34.559 --> 00:17:37.039
it's time for the playoffs and none
of them right, you know. I

247
00:17:37.039 --> 00:17:40.319
mean that was kind of the way
I grew up, and it's kind of

248
00:17:40.359 --> 00:17:42.440
the same way with the Republicans,
is that they get excited for a second

249
00:17:42.440 --> 00:17:45.599
and then they're like, no,
then they screwed that up. Well,

250
00:17:45.640 --> 00:17:49.039
and whenever they're finally mean interrupt but
I'm but I will whenever they're given the

251
00:17:49.079 --> 00:17:52.680
majority, is they were during the
time of the of the Tea Party,

252
00:17:52.920 --> 00:17:56.359
We're told, well, we can't
get anything done right now because they only

253
00:17:56.359 --> 00:17:59.640
have half of one third or two
halves, there are two thirds of three

254
00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.799
whatever. There was always the reason
why they could not enact that which they

255
00:18:02.880 --> 00:18:06.680
had already promised, And for me
at least, it's like groundhog Day with

256
00:18:06.720 --> 00:18:10.640
respect to that. Yeah, it's
the same excuse over and over again.

257
00:18:10.839 --> 00:18:14.200
You know. It's like they come
at it with the same plan, the

258
00:18:14.279 --> 00:18:19.000
same ideology, the same everything,
the same message, and then they're like,

259
00:18:19.160 --> 00:18:22.039
how come it didn't work this time? It's like, because it never

260
00:18:22.160 --> 00:18:26.240
worked, right. It's the very
definition of insanity when you keep doing the

261
00:18:26.240 --> 00:18:30.680
same thing over and over again.
Expecting a different result and you don't get

262
00:18:30.720 --> 00:18:33.759
it. It's like duh. When
I was a kid, it was always

263
00:18:33.839 --> 00:18:37.680
the Boston General I'm sorry, the
Washington Generals that were playing the Harlem Globetrotters.

264
00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.279
And that's kind of like what we've
got here, the Washington Generals.

265
00:18:41.359 --> 00:18:45.319
Yeah. Now, speaking of Congressional
Republicans, we're in the in Florida's a

266
00:18:45.400 --> 00:18:48.119
second congressional district, which would be
a Congressman Neil Dunne. If I understand

267
00:18:48.119 --> 00:18:52.599
that correctly, and I hear something
about a Brian rust army or something of

268
00:18:52.640 --> 00:18:56.799
that order, what's that all about, enlightened me, Pa show army.

269
00:18:57.039 --> 00:19:02.759
Yes, yeah, that's about you
know it is. It kind of started

270
00:19:02.759 --> 00:19:07.640
off at first a joke between myself
and um the uh well, it really

271
00:19:07.680 --> 00:19:14.160
started off within the House of Congressman
Dunn's team because I would I would get

272
00:19:14.200 --> 00:19:18.960
my listeners riled up on something and
this is a great thing that that they

273
00:19:18.000 --> 00:19:25.359
would actually take action and they would
call the Congressmen's office by the hundreds and

274
00:19:26.440 --> 00:19:30.240
it kind of overwhelmed them, and
eventually they labeled it the Brian Rush Show

275
00:19:30.359 --> 00:19:34.720
Army because when the General would say, go get them, Uh, you

276
00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:37.960
know, they would they would go
get them and they would call them conversation

277
00:19:38.119 --> 00:19:42.240
Dud's office to the point where it
would literally take their staff, you know,

278
00:19:42.240 --> 00:19:45.119
and they don't have that many staff
that answer the phone, but it

279
00:19:45.119 --> 00:19:48.079
would take the two or three of
them that they've got like two or three

280
00:19:48.200 --> 00:19:52.680
days to get through all of the
voicemails to get back to everybody. So

281
00:19:52.799 --> 00:19:55.279
it's kind of become a joke,
but it's a serious thing. At the

282
00:19:55.279 --> 00:19:57.319
same time they reach out and Rush
Show army, did they reach out to

283
00:19:57.359 --> 00:20:00.240
you and say, oh God,
please, Brian, stop it, stop

284
00:20:00.240 --> 00:20:03.119
it please, we can't handle all
the call volumeber Well, you know what,

285
00:20:03.000 --> 00:20:07.160
thankfully I've got a great relationship.
Not only would Congressman done, but

286
00:20:07.200 --> 00:20:11.680
I've got a great relationship with all
of his staff. Yeah, and it's

287
00:20:11.720 --> 00:20:15.119
because of the Brian Rush Show Army. It was. It ended up being

288
00:20:15.160 --> 00:20:17.880
one of those the staff was like, I've got to meet who this guy

289
00:20:18.000 --> 00:20:21.319
is? Who is this guy that's
making my life an absolute living nightmare?

290
00:20:22.839 --> 00:20:25.519
And we all became friends. So, you know, at that the point,

291
00:20:25.519 --> 00:20:30.119
now, like the congressman's constituent person
who really kind of handles all the

292
00:20:30.119 --> 00:20:34.000
phone calls for the most part um
wakes up in the morning and listens to

293
00:20:34.039 --> 00:20:37.799
my show to determine what her day
is going to be. Like, that's

294
00:20:37.839 --> 00:20:42.400
good. There be times I'll get
a text message going thanks, I've already

295
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:45.400
know what kind of day I'm gonna
have. Um. So yeah, it's

296
00:20:45.480 --> 00:20:51.920
it's great that the audience is actually
taking action and doing that instead of sitting

297
00:20:51.920 --> 00:20:55.000
around complaints. Well, okay,
which which brings up my next question.

298
00:20:55.079 --> 00:21:00.519
How responsive then is Congressman done with
respect to representing the interest and viewpoints of

299
00:21:00.559 --> 00:21:03.240
the folks that he's representing here?
Well, I think that depends on what

300
00:21:03.359 --> 00:21:07.720
you ask. Okay. Some people
are going to be like, oh,

301
00:21:07.839 --> 00:21:10.279
he's great, and others are going
to be like, he never answers the

302
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:15.000
phone, right, you know,
they always get back to all of the

303
00:21:15.079 --> 00:21:18.160
messages, so whenever somebody leaves a
message, they get back to them.

304
00:21:18.680 --> 00:21:22.200
Obviously, there's only so many people, and when the Brian Russia Army starts

305
00:21:22.240 --> 00:21:25.079
calling, um, you know,
there's only so many people there are to

306
00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:26.400
answer the phones, so you've got
to leave a message. Do you keep

307
00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:30.119
them supply? I'm sorry, go
ahead, go ahead. I was gonna

308
00:21:30.119 --> 00:21:33.000
ask if you keep them supplied?
But like some their favorite booze or something.

309
00:21:33.160 --> 00:21:36.759
Is some sort of recompense for the
for the havoc that you wreck on

310
00:21:36.839 --> 00:21:41.319
these people. We have gone out
for drinks a few times, and I

311
00:21:41.400 --> 00:21:45.079
have had it with the bill,
so there's been a few of those times.

312
00:21:45.079 --> 00:21:48.759
Without a doubt. Fair is fair? You know? Okay, last

313
00:21:48.839 --> 00:21:52.240
question here, and let me let
me set it up this way. When

314
00:21:52.279 --> 00:21:55.799
I not long ago, when I
read launched my podcast here, I set

315
00:21:55.799 --> 00:21:57.880
out to broaden the range of topics
and interviews and the basic focus of the

316
00:21:57.920 --> 00:22:02.799
show and take a few steps to
back away from the political outrage djure,

317
00:22:03.000 --> 00:22:07.279
you know, the outrage of the
day. And that's partially because it becomes

318
00:22:07.279 --> 00:22:10.960
tedious and makes my blood pressure rise, which my doctor tells me isn't especially

319
00:22:11.079 --> 00:22:15.200
useful, but also in part because
I think that the general trajectory of the

320
00:22:15.240 --> 00:22:18.440
country is pretty well locked in and
it's not, in my view, an

321
00:22:18.519 --> 00:22:21.680
upward trajectory, and I don't want
to be morose about it, and I

322
00:22:21.720 --> 00:22:23.000
don't want to have another stroke working
about it either, which just wouldn't be

323
00:22:23.000 --> 00:22:26.720
worth it. But I'm curious about
you and what you what you make,

324
00:22:26.759 --> 00:22:30.519
what your pridnosis is. At this
point, it may be that I'm just

325
00:22:30.640 --> 00:22:33.160
at that get off my long stage
of life, you know, but you're

326
00:22:33.200 --> 00:22:37.440
not quite there yet. So in
the long term for the country, are

327
00:22:37.440 --> 00:22:42.640
you a pessimist or optimist or some
strange conglomeration of the two. Yes,

328
00:22:44.319 --> 00:22:47.680
okay, I think yes, you
know a little bit of both. I

329
00:22:47.680 --> 00:22:52.200
mean it's I'm optimistic because I think
that, you know, the here's the

330
00:22:52.279 --> 00:22:53.519
thing is that, and I say
this all the time of the show,

331
00:22:55.000 --> 00:22:59.079
is that what we see in the
country, with all of this woke ideology

332
00:22:59.200 --> 00:23:04.440
and this leftist ideology, it's actually
a very small percentage of the population that

333
00:23:04.640 --> 00:23:10.799
believes in this and pushes this.
So the problem that we've got in the

334
00:23:10.799 --> 00:23:14.519
country is that since they're the ones
that are getting their way and the majority

335
00:23:14.720 --> 00:23:18.000
is not, I think that there
is hope that the majority will wake up

336
00:23:18.039 --> 00:23:21.160
at some point. And I think
twenty twenty three is going to be the

337
00:23:21.200 --> 00:23:23.279
big year that there's going to be
a waking on this, and I think

338
00:23:23.279 --> 00:23:26.000
a lot of people are starting to
see it. And so that's what gives

339
00:23:26.039 --> 00:23:29.920
me the optimism that you know,
yes, there's going to be enough people

340
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.680
that are going to finally say knock
it off. You know that the small

341
00:23:33.720 --> 00:23:37.200
minority that makes of us noise,
it gets their way. The majority is

342
00:23:37.200 --> 00:23:41.880
going to finally realize why their life
is a living hell, and they're gonna

343
00:23:41.920 --> 00:23:45.079
put their foot down and say enough. So I see, if we don't

344
00:23:45.119 --> 00:23:48.680
get up and start doing something,
then I see things not happening good.

345
00:23:48.720 --> 00:23:52.279
If we get up and start saying
something and take action, then yes,

346
00:23:52.440 --> 00:23:56.759
it's going to be positive. So
I guess the answer that question is yes,

347
00:23:56.039 --> 00:23:59.559
I'm a little of both. Okay, Well, so do you see

348
00:23:59.440 --> 00:24:02.119
the moment them that you're talking about
in twenty twenty three, do you see

349
00:24:02.119 --> 00:24:07.400
that carrying over into twenty twenty four
on the election season? I hope so.

350
00:24:07.279 --> 00:24:10.960
And again that goes back to the
messaging of the Republican Party, right

351
00:24:11.000 --> 00:24:14.880
not they can actually, um,
you know, do it. But you

352
00:24:14.880 --> 00:24:18.240
know, Donald Trump, it'll be
interesting to see what he ends up doing,

353
00:24:18.240 --> 00:24:21.599
whether or not him and Rond de
Sante's battle it out and which one

354
00:24:21.640 --> 00:24:25.279
comes out on top, and you
know how the message is delivered after that.

355
00:24:26.000 --> 00:24:27.680
But I think people, you know, if life continues the way that

356
00:24:27.720 --> 00:24:33.599
it is, this constant woke stuff, this constant you know, cost of

357
00:24:33.680 --> 00:24:37.200
inflation going up and everything else that's
going to be something that people are affected

358
00:24:37.240 --> 00:24:38.400
with every day, and they're not
going to just be like, oh,

359
00:24:38.440 --> 00:24:41.680
you know a lot, no big
deal eggs or and have ten dollars a

360
00:24:41.720 --> 00:24:44.880
dozen. I think it's going to
be something that's going to stick in people's

361
00:24:44.920 --> 00:24:47.559
call for a while. Well,
maybe the kitchen table issues like you're talking

362
00:24:47.599 --> 00:24:52.640
about will be enough to overwhelm whatever
lack of messaging the GOP musters up this

363
00:24:52.680 --> 00:24:56.559
time. I mean that's always possible. People the GOOP may maybe may stutter

364
00:24:56.599 --> 00:24:59.720
like I'm doing right now, but
they can look at there there a check

365
00:24:59.759 --> 00:25:03.079
book and see what's going on and
vote on that basis. Yeah, but

366
00:25:03.119 --> 00:25:06.039
they the big thing is that they
got to get out in vote. You

367
00:25:06.039 --> 00:25:07.119
know, too many people think,
oh my god, well it's getting to

368
00:25:07.160 --> 00:25:12.079
be corruption and bubblah. But if
we overwhelm the Democrat and vote, it's

369
00:25:12.119 --> 00:25:17.000
harder to be corrupt, and then
they've got to corrupt even more, which

370
00:25:17.000 --> 00:25:21.799
makes it even more evident that they're
corrupting. So it really truly doesn't matter

371
00:25:21.839 --> 00:25:23.680
to get out the vote, which
is what the Pro Publican Party has a

372
00:25:23.680 --> 00:25:27.240
hard time to Europe. From your
lips to everybody's ears, then, so

373
00:25:27.279 --> 00:25:30.200
tell me Bryan. For folks around
the country, they're listening into this little

374
00:25:30.200 --> 00:25:33.319
program. Where can they find you? How can they learn about more about

375
00:25:33.319 --> 00:25:38.119
you and about your show? Um
even go to the Brian Rust Show dot

376
00:25:38.200 --> 00:25:42.119
com and it's Brian with an Eye
and there's stuff there. There's a link

377
00:25:42.160 --> 00:25:45.799
to listen. There's a link of
the podcast The Whole nine Yards. I

378
00:25:45.839 --> 00:25:48.599
looked it up and it was I
would use to b r y and an

379
00:25:48.640 --> 00:25:49.400
and I'm not going to tell you
what I found, but it wasn't I

380
00:25:49.480 --> 00:25:52.400
knew it wasn't you. It wasn't
pretty at all. Oh, it's probably

381
00:25:52.400 --> 00:25:56.960
my only fans page. Yes,
I didn't want to say anything about it,

382
00:25:56.000 --> 00:26:00.000
but since you brought it up,
well, yeah, okay, I'm

383
00:26:00.000 --> 00:26:03.880
gonna do more time in purgatory for
that. Thanks, dude. I appreciate

384
00:26:03.920 --> 00:26:06.720
that You're welcome. Yeah, well
look, this has been mad fun.

385
00:26:06.759 --> 00:26:08.319
Thanks for taking the time out of
your thirty four hour work dated to be

386
00:26:08.359 --> 00:26:11.119
with us and talk with us.
I appreciate it's been a privilege anytime.

387
00:26:11.279 --> 00:26:14.839
I appreciate having having me on.
All right, man, we'll do this

388
00:26:14.880 --> 00:26:25.200
again then, folks, has Brian
Rust on the Dave Carter Program Dave Little

389
00:26:25.200 --> 00:26:27.640
Wild Lives been around for years.
I want you to listen to me.

390
00:26:27.759 --> 00:26:34.319
I'm gonna say this again. Little
wild lives ringing in yours have sexual relations

391
00:26:34.359 --> 00:26:40.839
for that one turn around, come
around back on you, well, that

392
00:26:41.079 --> 00:26:45.559
little wild lines cutching up to you. If you like your doctor, you

393
00:26:45.599 --> 00:26:57.279
will be able to keep your doctor
period. If you like your healthcare plan,

394
00:26:59.240 --> 00:27:03.319
we'll be able to keep your healthcare
player that I never sent nor received

395
00:27:03.359 --> 00:27:08.839
any information that was classified. One
hundred ten emails in fifty two email chains

396
00:27:10.200 --> 00:27:18.079
have been determined by the owning agency
to contain classified information. Garstancy on the

397
00:27:18.160 --> 00:27:25.839
Wall, I remember landing under sniper
fire, just ram with our heads down

398
00:27:25.960 --> 00:27:33.039
to get into the vehicles. The
problem is that's not what happened, and

399
00:27:33.200 --> 00:27:37.480
we should know. CBS News accompanied
the First Lady and daughter, Chelsea on

400
00:27:37.680 --> 00:27:44.160
that Bosnia trip one back in July, you said a Taliban takeover was highly

401
00:27:44.279 --> 00:27:48.519
unlikely. Does the intelligence wrong or
did you downplay it? There was no

402
00:27:48.559 --> 00:27:52.960
consensus to go back and looks at
the intelligence reports, so no one.

403
00:27:53.039 --> 00:27:56.759
No one told your military advices did
not tell you, no, we should

404
00:27:56.759 --> 00:27:59.720
just keep twenty five hundred troops.
It's been a stable situation. For the

405
00:27:59.759 --> 00:28:02.519
less several years. We can do
that, we can continue to do that.

406
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:04.160
No, no one said that to
me that I can room call.

407
00:28:07.240 --> 00:28:11.759
I recommended that we maintain two thousand, five hundred troops in Afghanistan. I

408
00:28:11.839 --> 00:28:15.799
also have a view that the withdrawal
of those forces would lead inevitably to the

409
00:28:15.839 --> 00:28:22.680
collapse of the Afghan military forces and
eventually the Afghan government. Stop box,

410
00:28:22.720 --> 00:28:38.119
stop gotta keeping buzzing, b Duzin
Sun about stop. I'm gonna sign agree.

411
00:28:41.000 --> 00:29:06.680
Well, God, and so all
right, let me talk to you

412
00:29:06.720 --> 00:29:11.240
about fun things to listen to.
Speaking of which, wasn't Brian Russ great?

413
00:29:11.599 --> 00:29:15.640
I mean, not only is he
engaging on the air, he keeps

414
00:29:15.680 --> 00:29:18.680
the listeners attention easily. He's not
the kind of host that you can just

415
00:29:18.720 --> 00:29:22.519
listen to and you know, your
mind wanders off and next thing you know,

416
00:29:22.559 --> 00:29:25.279
you're kind of trailing out there someplace, like you know, poor old

417
00:29:25.359 --> 00:29:29.160
Joe Biden, or not sure whether
to you know, scratch your butt or

418
00:29:29.160 --> 00:29:32.799
wine your watch, or whether you
should go have someone wipe the oatmeal off

419
00:29:32.839 --> 00:29:37.200
your chin. Nothing like that.
Brian is good people, although I don't

420
00:29:37.200 --> 00:29:41.039
know he's got the tendency to sneak
into my office every now and then because

421
00:29:41.839 --> 00:29:45.319
the way my office is situated,
my back is to the office doors,

422
00:29:45.359 --> 00:29:48.559
so he sneaks in there and then
makes us loud, sudden noise and startles

423
00:29:48.599 --> 00:29:52.960
the hell out of me, and
the next thing you know, I'm ready

424
00:29:53.000 --> 00:29:57.440
to make a commercial for it depends
anyway, it was great talking to Brian

425
00:29:57.480 --> 00:30:00.440
and getting his take on things.
Come to think of it, we have

426
00:30:00.519 --> 00:30:03.960
a lot of intriguing things to listen
to right here on the Ricochet Audio Network.

427
00:30:04.680 --> 00:30:08.960
You can find the Federalist podcast byron
Yark, who use a brilliant reporter

428
00:30:10.119 --> 00:30:14.480
and an analyst as a podcast,
as does Commentary Magazine. Former Secretary of

429
00:30:14.559 --> 00:30:18.200
Education Bill Bennett has a show with
us, as does Andrew Clayman the Heritage

430
00:30:18.200 --> 00:30:22.000
Foundation as a show. And of
course there's the Ricochet Podcast featuring Peter Robinson,

431
00:30:22.039 --> 00:30:26.359
Rob Long and James Lilacs, all
of whom engage some of the most

432
00:30:26.359 --> 00:30:30.759
powerful minds and interesting people on the
public policy scene today. So you owe

433
00:30:30.759 --> 00:30:33.839

able to to get your cursor up there

436
00:30:41.000 --> 00:30:45.279
and for about what you'd pay for
a cup of coffee. You can become

437

even write your own artols for the
whole wide world to have a look at

439
00:30:52.400 --> 00:30:56.480
and read. Now, tell you
something else about Ricochet. That's really cool.

440
00:30:56.119 --> 00:31:00.759
You see, from the very beginning
of the site, Ricochet members across

441
00:31:00.839 --> 00:31:07.680
the country have decided to get together
and have what we call meetups, which

442
00:31:07.759 --> 00:31:11.519
is really cool. I've attended a
few of them myself, from Seattle to

443
00:31:11.559 --> 00:31:17.880
Afrins, Georgia, Nashville to Las
Vegas, Los Angeles and more. In

444
00:31:17.960 --> 00:31:21.359
fact, in April, we have
a meetup that'll take place down in New

445
00:31:21.480 --> 00:31:25.359
Orleans, down in my home stomping
ground, my home state, Louisiana.

446
00:31:25.480 --> 00:31:29.400
And this time around, I'll be
attending that meet up in April, and

447
00:31:29.440 --> 00:31:34.480
I'm bringing the podcast equipment with me. Now, the plan, to say,

448
00:31:34.480 --> 00:31:37.880
you know, the plan is to
have rob long and nastional reviews.

449
00:31:37.960 --> 00:31:41.720
Senior writer Charles C. W.
Cook sit down with me and record an

450
00:31:41.720 --> 00:31:45.880
episode of this show in front of
a live audience. How cool is that?

451
00:31:47.200 --> 00:31:48.839
And you never know. We may
get one or two or more of

452
00:31:48.880 --> 00:31:55.640
the August August Ricochet members to join
us for some impromptu observations in Shenanigans and

453
00:31:56.079 --> 00:32:00.359
who knows, but you won't know. You become a Ricochet member, check

454
00:32:00.400 --> 00:32:05.920
out the member side of the site
and get the information on this meetup and

455
00:32:05.960 --> 00:32:07.720
other things that are going on,
and just rock and roll with it and

456
00:32:07.759 --> 00:32:13.799
have a good time. So remember
that's ricochet dot com slash Join ricochet dot

457
00:32:13.799 --> 00:32:16.160
com slash joint. You can learn
more and you can join the conversation as

458
00:32:16.160 --> 00:32:21.720
well. So if you had a
good time here today, I have,

459
00:32:22.839 --> 00:32:25.720
but then I usually do, from
the serious things that we've talked about to

460
00:32:25.799 --> 00:32:30.480
the frivolous things. It's always a
treat, always a treat and a privilege

461
00:32:30.519 --> 00:32:32.079
to do these shows for you,
and I hope you've enjoyed it. Feel

462
00:32:32.079 --> 00:32:35.559
free to head it over to iTunes
let us know what you think. I

463
00:32:35.640 --> 00:32:37.319
do read the comments over there,
and I enjoy hearing what you have to

464
00:32:37.359 --> 00:32:40.839
say. We have some really interesting
guests coming up here in the not too

465
00:32:40.880 --> 00:32:45.119
distant future. The next few episodes, we will venture away from the political

466
00:32:45.200 --> 00:32:49.839
world occasionally, because in the same
world there are other things out there besides

467
00:32:50.000 --> 00:32:53.319
politics. So we'll wind this thing
down now and my thanks to Brian Russ

468
00:32:53.400 --> 00:32:57.319
for telling in the chat with us
has been a pleasure, and with my
