Talk Radio's Brian Rust on Election 2024
As the Presidential Primary season gets underway, Dave turns to talk radio host extraordinaire Brian Rust whose diagnosis of the political scene is spot-on and as accurate as anyone else in the business. A radio broadcaster with nearly 34 years experience, Mr. Rust is the host of The Brian Rust Show, which is heard and viewed across the country and in several countries around the world.
As the conversation progresses, Dave and Brian discuss the current field of Republican presidential contenders, including Vivek Ramaswamy, Rick Scott and, of course, Donald Trump and how receptive the electorate may be to Republican policies. The recent congressional testimony of FBI Director Christopher Wray comes under scrutiny, as does the campaign of Florida Governor Ron DeSantis.
It's an interesting conversation and a compelling episode that includes everything from Dave's tales from his job of transporting patients to and from doctor's appointments, to an impending paranormal investigation of Dave's residence and, of course, the fascinating conversation of two broadcasters. We think you'll enjoy the result!

1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.200
Broadcasting from the world's most beautiful beaches
in sunny Florida. Here's the soldier,
2
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.320
storyteller, historian, and maybe a
bit of a hell raiser. It's Dave
3
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:26.039
Carter, and this is the Dave
Carter Show, all right now, the
4
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:33.359
greetings greeting songs from Florida's Emerald Coast. The sun is out, surface up,
5
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:40.359
dude, and it's just beautiful here
in the summertime in July. I
6
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.880
mean, the humidity is laurid.
I mean it's like being in a giant,
7
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.200
you know, sweaty armpit or something
a bit about. I know that's
8
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.439
not exactly a flattering description, but
it is vivid. This This is the
9
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.679
time of year when when I step
outside, I have to take off my
10
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.280
glasses so I can see where I'm
going because the lenses fog up due to
11
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.959
the fact that it's just stupid humid. So I have to take the glasses
12
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.439
off otherwise, you know, I'm
just kind of wandering around, not knowing
13
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.200
where I am, dolling off in
the traffic, you know, or shuffling
14
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.719
into the hedges like you know,
poor old Joe Biden. Oh, I
15
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:21.120
don't have the Secret Service around to
keep me from you know, falling into
16
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.519
a ditch. But I don't want
to get into political analysis right now.
17
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.359
Neither does he for that matter.
Coming up in just a little bit,
18
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.040
however, he'll be talking with a
friend of mine who just happens to be
19
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.840
one of the most listened to and
certainly one of the most influential talk radio
20
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.359
hosts in this part of the country, and in fact, his show is
21
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.840
heard all over the country. Brian
Rust has an enormously popular talk show,
22
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.680
and so we'll get his take on
the current political craziness, and we will
23
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.920
hear from mister Rust in a moment. First, I was I was talking
24
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.359
about the summer here in Florida,
and I guess I dwell on the heat
25
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.000
because I spent a great deal of
time in the heat, in the elements,
26
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:07.239
and in traffic as I transport various
people to and from their doctor's appointments.
27
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.159
That's my daytime job is to get
in my car and take these good
28
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:14.599
folks where they need to go.
And to be honest, the experience of
29
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:22.280
meeting these people, they are a
rather eclectic assortment of folks, and it
30
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.599
all reminds me in some ways of
my experience years ago traveling across the country
31
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:35.039
in an eighteen wheeler and meeting a
genuine cross section of America during the course
32
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.479
of my life on the road.
Now are the people that I drive all
33
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.039
have one thing in common, obviously, and that is that, for one
34
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.520
reason or another, they aren't able
to drive themselves. And they come from
35
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:53.159
all different socioeconomic situations. Some are
highly educated, while others are more or
36
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.080
less self taught, if you will, I'm reminded of Mark Twain's assertion that
37
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.879
he never he tried to never let
his formal schooling get in the way of
38
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:07.840
his education. And that's that's the
case with a great many of these folks.
39
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.560
But every now and then someone will
fire off a sort of do it
40
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.400
yourself verbal expression that just catches me
off balance. I was taking a couple,
41
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.400
for instance, of a couple of
patients to their appointments, their respective
42
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.319
appointments, when the person in the
back seat noticed that the person in the
43
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.080
front passenger's seat, who she did
not know, was wearing when I believe
44
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.719
they call some sort of medical boot
extending from the guy's left knee down to
45
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:40.199
his foot, indicating that he had
perhaps broken something. I guess at any
46
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:46.439
rate, my back seat passenger volunteered
that she knew exactly what bone the guy
47
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.280
in the front seat had broken,
at which point the guy asked, Okay,
48
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.759
what bone was it, and she
replied, well, that's that's the
49
00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:00.439
cadaver bone, which was a new
one to me. I have one sister
50
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.759
that's a nurse, another sister a
sister in law who's a surgeon, a
51
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:09.000
trauma surgeon, and I don't remember
any of any mention from either of them
52
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:14.199
of having treated a broken cadaver bone. But one never knows. So I've
53
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:15.959
asked them both, talked to them
both, and they're going they're going to
54
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.560
be on the lookout and if they
if they see a cadaver bone, why
55
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:25.199
they're gonna chase that a little bastard
down and take a picture or something as
56
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:30.120
proof that these things really do exist. I mean, I've only been doing
57
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.279
this job a few months, and
I've transported all kinds of different folks,
58
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:40.199
so senior citizens of course, and
parents taking children to doctor's appointments, including
59
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.639
one lady who was taking her fifteen
year old daughter who's been diagnosed with type
60
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:50.279
one diabetes to a doctor over one
hundred miles away, and by the way
61
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:55.519
that young girl has already mapped out
where she wants to go to college,
62
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.240
what she's going to major in,
what she'll study, and what's she going
63
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.680
to do with her life. And
you talk about inspirational, this young lady
64
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:08.279
is absolutely amazing. And here's the
thing. I'll wrap this up here so
65
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.319
we can get get Brian on the
line and talk with him about all the
66
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.399
political stuff. And I don't want
to minimize the importance of the political sphere,
67
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.360
chiefly because it keeps making deeper inroads
into the personal lives of everyone across
68
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:25.519
this country. But here's here's the
essential point that I've picked up on as
69
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:30.199
I meet these people, and that
is, look, they're they're all going
70
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.839
through some sort of unpleasantness, to
put it mildly, from the chemo patient
71
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:39.480
I transported yesterday whose wife is with
him every step of the way, to
72
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.240
the lady who was in constant pain
from a back injury, but who laughs
73
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.480
at my jokes and tells me you
amiss, dear old, so she says,
74
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:53.120
you just amiss. And then there's
the dear, dear guy, I'm
75
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:59.480
sorry that a lady who has developmental
issues who manages to brighten my day every
76
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.160
single time might take her to her
appointments. Or the gentleman of very very
77
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:09.160
modest means who was suffering from debilitating
elements, but who told me that he's
78
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.759
blessed and that he is a wealthy
man because he is a child of God.
79
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.560
These are These are the kind of
people who inspire those around them.
80
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.639
They've devoted their lives to their families
and their communities. They plan for meaningful
81
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.000
futures, as in the case of
the young lady with Type one diabetes,
82
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.439
or they simply are being good will
ambassadors to everyone that they meet and affecting
83
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:40.079
in a positive way their world.
You may remember William F. Buckley Jr.
84
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.959
Famously Said that he would you would
rather be governed by the first two
85
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.199
hundred people in the Boston phone directory
than by the entire faculty of Harvard.
86
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:53.240
Every day that I have the pleasure
of interacting with these good and decent people
87
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:59.079
underscores the point that Buckley was making. These people read the papers, that
88
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.399
they watched the news, then they
wonder what happened to common decency and the
89
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:09.160
respect for human life and human dignity. Black white women, men, they
90
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.120
all represent the sort of character,
manners, and gentle spirit that seems all
91
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.959
but lost when we read the headlines
or listen to these precious little busybodies who
92
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:24.800
want to order us around and won't
leave us alone. But good people,
93
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.480
like the ones I get to meet
each day, they're still out there.
94
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.000
They may be overlooked or even ignored
in the hustle and bustle of our busy
95
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:39.480
lives, but that spark of goodness
and decency is still there. It's in
96
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:45.040
the eyes and smiles, the wisdom
and the good sense of everyday Americans.
97
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.920
And you know, at least we
can take some measure of solace in that.
98
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:28.759
It's Dave Carter and this is the
Dave Carter Show. Oh man,
99
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.000
Essen, that's some good blues as
a walking base there, that's the good
100
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.399
stuff head verse. All right,
I guess I should behave at least momentarily,
101
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.080
and welcome my friend Brian Rush to
the services here. Brian is the
102
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.720
host of the Brian Rush Show on
News talking one on one FIM here in
103
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:52.360
Panama City Beach, but his influence
greatly exceeds the terrestrial signal. Here.
104
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.120
He has heard literally all over the
country, and he has interviewed all sorts
105
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.840
of interesting folks, I believe,
including Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, j
106
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.720
Sanine Pierrot, among many others.
He's been in radio for one hundred and
107
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.000
thirty No, wait a minute,
um, thirty thirty four. It's about
108
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.960
thirty four years. Is that correct, Bran just shy thirty four years?
109
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.159
Yeah, okay. And he also, if you're interested, he preaches and
110
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.039
lead singing on Sundays UH at the
golf course clubhouse. I think, yeah,
111
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.120
that's that's pretty much where it is. And I don't know if preaching
112
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.759
is exactly the best word to say, but it works. Yeah. Well,
113
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.519
good morning, mister Russ. How
are you. I'm fantastic, how
114
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.320
are you? I'm doing good man, Thanks for joining the festivities here today
115
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.960
and I'm glad to do it again. And I forgot to mention folks.
116
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.879
Brian is the operations manager over at
Magic Broadcasting, which is the parent company
117
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.279
of the talk station and ninety seven
X. It's at the rock station Bob
118
00:09:43.399 --> 00:09:48.200
FM and something about Willie. Yeah, there's a there's a couple of stations
119
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.320
free will I just I just keep
rolling with things. Yeah, well,
120
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.000
will see how it goes. Well. Well, that was the term that
121
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.039
Bill Clinton years right, Well,
will eat never Mind? Yeah, a
122
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.240
whole different podcast. So you rested
up for your from your vacation. Ah
123
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.720
yeah, but that didn't last long
because I can went back to work on
124
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:11.360
Monday, and that took care of
everything from Mary um not tuned down into
125
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.159
your show this morning, and I
wind know, well, these things happen.
126
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.919
But I have I have a friend
of mine that does radio out of
127
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.879
Los Angeles, and I asked him, I'm just curious how people do these
128
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.840
things, to do this stuff every
single day? How do you Well,
129
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.240
first, how do you decide what
topic you're going to lead with? And
130
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.679
then how do you narrow down the
list of crazy shenanigans that are going on
131
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.080
every day that you want to talk
about? Um, you know, it's
132
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.000
it's kind of tough. Um.
You know, I generally start the day
133
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.360
off with two to three pages of
basic topics. Um. I've got a
134
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.120
lot of things sometimes that are just
off the top of my head. Uh,
135
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.720
based on what kind of what's going
on. Um. And with Washington,
136
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.840
DC and politics today, you know, they give us plenty of show
137
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.200
prep, to say the least.
So that's true. UM for me,
138
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:05.000
you is, whatever's the top of
the news. Because obviously that's what a
139
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.080
lot of people are talking about.
It is what people are concerned about,
140
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.840
and and I just kind of roll
from there. You know, one of
141
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.960
the great things about my show,
and I've talked about this before, is
142
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:20.279
most podcast or most talk shows are
very very structured. You know, in
143
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.960
every every hour, you'll generally have
four blocks that you know you'll be set
144
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.039
to do this, and do this, and do this. And my show
145
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.600
is so fluid that sometimes at at
at five oh six am, when that
146
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:41.120
that open air fires, I'm kind
of going, yeah, I heard yesterday
147
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.480
that the things started off, and
you're like, oh, hell, I'm
148
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.200
not even beginning being near to being
ready. I am such a hot mess
149
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.799
most mornings. And what's really bad
is that this week we started doing the
150
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.159
video cast of the show, so
now it's making it even harder to hide
151
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.679
that before I could make it up. Now it's you know, I'm the
152
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.600
show starting, the cameras are coming
out, and I'm still doing this number
153
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.600
agatting ear plugs, sucking it in
the back of the shirt. It's it's
154
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.879
chaos. Now. I did hear
that you're listened to all over the country,
155
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.279
of course, but if I heard
correctly, California is like one of
156
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.960
the top five stakes that listen to
your program, Is that right? Yeah,
157
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.360
it generally is. It's right up
in there. I mean, I
158
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.559
haven't looked at the stats in the
past couple of days, but yeah,
159
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.000
California does have a tendency to be
one of the high ones up there.
160
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.679
And actually I've got a lot of
blue areas that listen. So what it
161
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.159
is, weird? What are you
hoping, uh, California residents will do
162
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.679
as a result of hearing you If
you want them to leave California and come
163
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:46.320
to Florida. It depends on who
they are something they can stay there,
164
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.240
Yeah, yeah, or you know, really, the biggest thing that I
165
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:56.399
ever want to get people to get
out of my show is um is information
166
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.120
and then to wake the hell up. You know. It's it's one of
167
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:01.480
these things that I talk about this
all the time in the show about how
168
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.759
people's lives are so busy. You
know, we have full time jobs,
169
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.360
we have families, we've got businesses, we've got interest to do, and
170
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.840
you know, people just don't have
the time to really be all that aware
171
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.799
of what's going on. And I
think that the political environment and especially that
172
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.159
that one world order kind of a
group of people have really taken advantage of
173
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.159
that. UM. So what I
really hope to people get out of it
174
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.440
is to just be aware of what's
going on and to hear something that is
175
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:41.240
not a polished um corporate media message, because that's not what you get from
176
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.080
me. I mean, there's there's
nothing polished about that mess. Well,
177
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.120
and so oftentimes information to flow to
people is kind of stovepiped, right,
178
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.840
just one little spicket that they that
they are tuning into. So we can
179
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:56.039
expand that baits a little bit and
broaden europe message out there than that that
180
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.720
helps out obviously, Yeah, it
does helps out a lot. And you
181
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.240
know, this morning, I had
um had Chadwick moron, who is uh
182
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.960
that sounded wrong. His name is
Chadwick Moore. Thank you had him on?
183
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.919
Thank you? Oh my god,
I was reaching for the beat button
184
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.200
here or something. Hell, okay, Chadwick's a moron. No, I
185
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.200
had Chadwick Moore. He was on. He was happy to be he he's
186
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.120
an author and he's a he's been
a commentator, he's been on Fox News
187
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.200
a lot. Um. He is
no longer on Fox News anymore, but
188
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.440
he wrote a book about Tucker Carlson, and you know, we were talking
189
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:35.840
about how UM, cable news and
news in general on the broadcast side has
190
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.080
really kind of it's dying out.
You know, people aren't watching anymore.
191
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.679
The viewership on cable news is is
dropping out. So people have got to
192
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.799
find their news somewhere else. And
you know, people are are turning more
193
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:54.480
and more to more streaming um,
you know, other ops outlets to find
194
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.600
their news. So that's kind of
one of the things that I'm hopefully gonna
195
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.519
be able to capitalize a little bit. I didn't know, well from your
196
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.720
Lips to God's Ears, UM,
I did hear. I don't know if
197
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.000
we want to continue. I don't
know if we want to combine my lips.
198
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.240
You may really have to start the
lightning. You may really have to
199
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.399
startly lead to the singing. Um. But listen to him talking about is
200
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.600
his book, and I found it
interesting. I didn't know this that to
201
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.120
this day, Fox News hasn't let
Tucker know why they've sent him packing.
202
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.559
Is that right? Uh? Yeah, And he officially hasn't been packing.
203
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:31.799
He's still employed by Fox News.
He's just off the air, so they
204
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.320
haven't fired him. Yet, so
the idea was just to hush him up
205
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.639
then, I guess pretty much.
Yeah, just make him quiet, and
206
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.600
you know, his contract is until
like I think it's the month after the
207
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:45.120
election or something. Um, so
yeah, the perfect timing. Yeah,
208
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.240
this is guess it's conjecture. So
I'm going to ask you to engage in
209
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.240
it. But why do you think
they did that. I think that there
210
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:58.559
was a lot of a lot of
pressure from the establishment because he obviously was
211
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.440
one that had no fear with calling
out the establishment people, and he did
212
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.639
that on a regular basis. Um, he called out people like Black Rock,
213
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.759
which is one of the hands down, one of the most dangerous investment
214
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.759
groups. Uh. They're very much
so tied to that one World order,
215
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.200
uh you know, World form Worrial
Economic Forum kind of group. So I
216
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:23.480
think he he hit the danger button
of that that T word, which they
217
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:27.879
don't want the T word out.
Yeah yeah, okay. Uh, speaking
218
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.919
of your show, you've had some
pretty heavy hitters on there and putting some
219
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.600
presidential candidates. Um, I don't
know if you've had this guy on,
220
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.639
and I would never yes, I
would presume to offer advice. What the
221
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.759
hell, why not? We're talking? But a great guy and I hope
222
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.799
I don't miss his name. Up
is a vivic rama rama swammy swammy.
223
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.279
Have you had him on? UM? Not yet? Uh, they've they've
224
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.480
wanted me to have his his grassroots
person on, who's just kind of like
225
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:57.360
a campaign advisor, and I told
them no, U, I said,
226
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.399
I don't want her on. And
I've actually had her on. It's Kathy
227
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.240
Burnett who ran for the Senate in
Pennsylvania. She's great. She lost,
228
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.119
but she was great, but I
didn't want to run. I want him
229
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.160
on. UM. You know,
this is one of these things where I
230
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.599
don't want your surrogates. I want
your people. So it says a lot
231
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.920
when when you know they don't,
they don't want to be on and they
232
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.519
send the surrogates. But yeah,
we're working on it. I've been kind
233
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.720
of talking with their people a little
bit to see if from getting Yeah,
234
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.880
I've listened to him and he's really
interesting to listen to. Yeah, it's
235
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:32.759
just sharp as a razor and yeah, just very smart guy. He's got
236
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.839
some compelling arguments to make, as
does Rick Scott. How did you like
237
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.359
the interview with him? Uh?
You know, I've Rick Scott and I
238
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.920
We've had a relationship for several years
now. Um. You know, I've
239
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.680
known and worked with him for for
quite a bit. So, um,
240
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:48.720
you know, when I have him
on, we we have a pretty good
241
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.559
relationship. When we uh, you
know, we have great conversations. Um.
242
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.839
It's been a little while since I've
had him on. We're working on
243
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.839
scheduling an in studio interview as time
he's in town. Yeah. Um,
244
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.319
but you know, he Um,
he's become a fighter. You know.
245
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.839
Obviously he's got a little bit of
a reputation due to in an incident that
246
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:12.920
happened with one of his hospitals the
years back. But overall he's a pretty
247
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.319
good guy. Um, and he
is he's not falling into that establishment thing.
248
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.839
And I think we saw that when
he tried to be thrown tater tot
249
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.680
McConnell. Yeah, then then we
saw you know who in the Senate really
250
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:32.119
truly is in that establishment area.
Did you said tater tot tater tot McConnell.
251
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:37.119
Where did that? That's why I
call it that. Oh well,
252
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.720
okay, Um, what did you
hear the the testimony yesterday, the exchange
253
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:47.839
with FBI Director Ray and the folks
in Congress hearing. Yeah, okay,
254
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.519
what did what did you What did
you make of that? You know what
255
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.319
this this is one of the things
that that we're seeing with a lot of
256
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:56.680
the administrative people. It's not just
Christopher Ray. I mean, you look
257
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.799
at Alexander or my orci Us,
you look at you know, other you
258
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.200
know, Justice Department people. I
mean, it's just it's this constant,
259
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.799
holier than thou, how dare you
question me? Kind of attitude. And
260
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.519
you know, I like, I
was talking about this this morning on the
261
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.400
show that you know, in the
real world that the rest of us live
262
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.160
in, you know, we've seen
CEOs of companies be dethroned because a marketing
263
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:29.440
person tweeted something that they tweeted on
the wrong account or the wrong phrase or
264
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.160
so sure, yea, And yet
we see what's going on with you know,
265
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.960
the FBI, and sure there's a
couple of colossal screw ups that they
266
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.359
have made. Um, but he's
trying to make it out like, oh,
267
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:42.880
well, you know, we do
all these other great things. You
268
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.039
don't even want to talk about them, but you know, you just want
269
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.839
to talk about a couple of things. And it's like, but these couple
270
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.599
of things are colossal. They're constitutional
violations, right, and to see the
271
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:59.160
arrogance that comes out of people like
him, Uh, it's really annoying.
272
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.279
And it is time for more action
and less less talk that we seem to
273
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.960
begin listening to him talk about all
the great things that they've done, and
274
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.680
I'm sure they have, but it's
it's it's a little it's a little like
275
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.880
the guy who's accused of murder,
who's willing to produce fifteen witnesses who did
276
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:18.000
not see him kill the deceased,
right, yeah, yeah, it's what
277
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.799
you know, to use that example, it's like, you know, here
278
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.480
you are, you're accused of murder, and he'd be like, yeah,
279
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.200
but look at all the puppies that
I had done, right right, you
280
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.720
know, it's like, yeah,
but she murdered somebody, which is kind
281
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.039
of the same thing with him.
You know, he points out all this
282
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.559
stuff, and sure, there's a
lot of great things that the FBI lower
283
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.240
level people who are doing, but
it's it's this upper level that well,
284
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.680
and they're losing confidence. They're losing
confidence on the upper level. You know
285
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.160
what, I don't think it's incompetence. I think that this is this is
286
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.880
an intentional thing, and they've been
busted thinking, you know, who's gonna
287
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.680
catch us, who's gonna call us
out on that? And they've been caught
288
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.200
out, and now they don't know
what to do because they've been exposed.
289
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:03.680
Yeah. For example, I thought
his exchange with one congressman about whether the
290
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.680
FBI had anything to do with the
suppression of inconvenient speech on social media was
291
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.200
very telling, particularly when he said
something to the effect that the FBI has
292
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.960
never told social mediat was to shut
down any unpopular viewpoints, at which point
293
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:22.079
the congressman said, yes, but
whenever the most powerful Yeah. From when
294
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.039
the most powerful law enforcement agency in
the country says, gee, I don't
295
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.559
like this. That has the practical
effect of a command to shut it down.
296
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.000
Yeah, yeah, I mean that. That's one of many examples.
297
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.480
I mean, look, they there. I forgot who was it asked him,
298
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.839
but somebody had asked him about a
particular case, which is something big
299
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.519
that the FBI director should know about, and he's like, well, I
300
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.960
really I don't know anything about that. It's like, tell us you don't
301
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:48.599
know anything about it, you know
what's going on? I mean, for
302
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:53.680
you to not know about some small
minute little case that's happening in like,
303
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.519
you know, Idaho someplace. All
right, I get that, But these
304
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:03.480
major things that Congressional hearing is asking
you about, you should know this stuff.
305
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.559
I think he does. I don't
think it's incompetence at all. It's
306
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.559
just the arrogance of how dare you
question me? Well, hopefully to have
307
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.640
Kevin McCarthy will have the wherewithal to
do something about this definitive or even with
308
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:18.240
regard to holding him in contempt or
whatever it takes. I don't you know
309
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.400
what it's at this point. It's
not even about holding contempt because I don't
310
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:27.240
think they care, you know,
that's yeah. I mean it has to
311
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:32.319
be a removal of them from those
positions, you know, at whatever costs.
312
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:36.039
I mean, like Matt Gates had
asked him um or it was attempting
313
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:38.519
to ask him some questions, and
he did the normal you know, talk
314
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:44.559
over and you know, dance around, and his response was yeah, but
315
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:48.079
you know, there's look at your
home state in Florida with all these people
316
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.920
that are trying to join the FBI. And I think that Matt Gates through
317
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.480
one hell of a nail in that
coffin, and he goes, Yeah,
318
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:59.000
and they deserve better than you heard
that. So it's like he's trying to
319
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:03.119
candy coade everything and not even like
And again, I don't think it's incompetence.
320
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.720
I think it is just his ego
that is just getting in the way
321
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.240
and the fact that they they've been
caught and they don't know what to do.
322
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.039
True, I think you're right.
A different topic and one that I
323
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.960
think you talk about rather frequently,
So maybe you can educate me. Tell
324
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.640
me about Ron de Santis please?
Is he He's done some great things here
325
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:25.079
in Florida. But I gather there's
a growing consensus that something is amiss in
326
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:30.079
his campaign. What's going on?
Yeah, I don't know. You know
327
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:36.920
that, And I'm so baffled because
I've I've I've been very impressed with what
328
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.839
Ron Santis has done as the governor
here in Florida. You know, both
329
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:44.920
prior to COVID and during COVID and
post COVID. He's done a lot of
330
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.440
things. He's made a few errors
in how he's approached a couple things,
331
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.279
and obviously I don't agree a hundred
percent, and we never should agree a
332
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.799
hundred percent. But his campaign is
just not taking off. I mean,
333
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:02.119
first of I don't think it's his
time. Um, and he is.
334
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.759
He is a Donald Trump junior with
a little bit more class. He's pugnacious
335
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.519
delivery, he's pugnacious, but he's
not bore. I mean, he's got
336
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:17.319
the same ideology. Um. And
you know, it's it's like having you
337
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.160
know, Dad in the sun coming
up, going pick us, pick us.
338
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.720
Uh. You know, we're only
gonna pick one of you, and
339
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:25.279
we're gonna pick the one that is, you know, a little bit more
340
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.480
proven than the other. So Junior
sit down for a minute. Uh.
341
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.319
You know, I think he jumped
into it too early. I think there's
342
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.400
a lot of things that have hurt
him, like his attack on Disney,
343
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.640
um, which rightfully so with what
he morally went after them, But I
344
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.759
think that he took it too far, and now the left is labeling him
345
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.920
in a way that is very hard
to come back. You know, we
346
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.319
here in Florida, we we know
what Ronda Santis is all about. But
347
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:59.640
you look at him around the country
and people see he's banning books. Uh,
348
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.960
he's burning books, he's arresting black
people. He's anti drag, he's
349
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:08.839
homophobic, he's racist, he's sexist. We don't see that here because we
350
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:15.039
see the real story, but others
don't. And unfortunately, he's also said
351
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.839
some things that have been taken out
of context, which just kind of add
352
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.720
to it, and his team has
not really hit back on that messaging.
353
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.279
He's brilliant at handling the media.
When a reporter comes out and tries to
354
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.759
hit him with something, you know, he'll put that reporter in the place.
355
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.839
But the problem is is that that
reporter and that network is not going
356
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.359
to air the fact that Rodasantists put
them in their place. Instead, they're
357
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.960
going to air the narrative that they
want. So wrong time for him.
358
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.000
I think he's got the wrong people
that's giving him advice, and I think
359
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:51.319
that's he's getting connected with the wrong
people. I hear that Karl Rove is
360
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.759
advising, but they're denying it.
And I've also heard that there's a lot
361
00:25:55.759 --> 00:26:00.359
of establishment people. But he's just
he's not taken off well with respect to
362
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.079
the labels that they that they throw
on him, and they do that to
363
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.200
everybody. I mean, hell,
they threw labels on Mitt Romney and even
364
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.799
when he was running for president,
John McCain wasn't the Antichrist. That's what
365
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.240
they do. You've got to be
able to combat it, right, So
366
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.519
he's not doing that effectively. Is
that the issue? Yeah, he's not.
367
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.880
And to be perfectly honest with you, that's that's one of the Republican
368
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:23.200
Party's problem. I mean, I
think the first person to come back and
369
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:27.799
do messaging correctly has been Donald Trump. I mean, he did it with
370
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.240
a five hundred pound hammer, um, but he was able to hit back
371
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.400
and he was able to you know, counter the message. And the rest
372
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.319
of the Republican Party they're horrible at
it. I Mean I had the RNC,
373
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.920
I three members of the RNC on
the show a couple months back,
374
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.880
about three months back, and they're
they're touting this this new get out the
375
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.799
vote thing that they're doing. And
as somebody who does this as a living,
376
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.559
you know, and I've got to
make sure that I know what's going
377
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.400
on and what's happening and what they're
doing, I haven't seen anything about it.
378
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.200
So it's like they're not doing anything
now. Meanwhile, the Democrats are
379
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.160
out with their messaging, they're fine
tuning their approach, and the Republicans are
380
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.559
just doing nothing. Okay, Well, I hope they hold the whys up.
381
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:17.119
Do you have any early sense?
I don't know how much prognosticating you
382
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:18.599
do, but do you have an
early sense of how you think the Republican
383
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:23.519
primaries are going to play out?
Yeah, I think that it's going to
384
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.440
in the end it will be Donald
Trump. I think he's gonna to rack
385
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.759
up that fairly dominantly. You know, you look at the polls now he's
386
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:40.440
twenty thirty points ahead of Rhonda Santis. Rhonda Santis is dropping. I think
387
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.519
that you will end up seeing Vivic
Remswami probably be the number two person.
388
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.519
Kay. I think Santists will fizzle
out a little bit more. And then
389
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.160
you know, I think Nicky Haley
will hang in there a little bit,
390
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.039
Tim Scott will hang in there a
little bit. Everybody else is going to
391
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.680
just disappear. But I think in
the and it will be Donald Trump.
392
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:06.119
Um, and uh, you know, with Vivic probably than the number two
393
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:11.920
person trailing behind him. Okay,
well, I'm I have a real easily
394
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:17.279
philosophy that I apply to this.
And as goes back to Bill Buckley's admonishment
395
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.759
to choose the right word most viable
candidate. So that's what I'm gonna do.
396
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:26.200
You know, ultimately, I'm not
a cult of personality person I will
397
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.279
take I will take a can of
paint. If the policies are correct,
398
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.119
I vote for the policies. And
so that's what I'll end up doing.
399
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.440
I don't know how how many other
people would do that, but that'll be
400
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.720
That'll be the route that I take. Yeah, and I think this time
401
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.720
around, um, you know,
Donald Trump, he's got the proven policies
402
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.960
and not only was it proven that, you know, hey, here's what
403
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.119
I did, but here's what I
did. And then the next guy comes
404
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.839
in and reversed it all and magnified
that what I did do worked right.
405
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.799
But in addition to that, because
of everything going on in Washington right now,
406
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.319
I think a lot of people may
be looking at this in two ways.
407
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:02.880
Yes, his policies work, but
he's also going to be the guy
408
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:04.400
that's going to come in with a
bulldozer and knock down what needs to be
409
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:11.720
knocked down. Because everybody's seeing the
you know, the deep state, the
410
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:14.960
one World order kind of group.
I mean, this is so fully exposed
411
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.359
because they promote themselves that this is
what they're doing. So we really do
412
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:23.279
need a Donald Trump to go in
with the proven policies and that personality and
413
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:27.680
attitude of I'm going to take them
down and we'll see what happens. I
414
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:32.480
hope, So, I hope.
So this an entrenched bureaucracy. And it's
415
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:36.079
like, well, I was in
the military. We would have the civil
416
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.119
service folks that worked at base,
at the base forever, and commanders come,
417
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:42.799
commanders go. But they call the
permanent party folks, the civil servants
418
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:45.799
that stay there the entire time,
and they can slow roll things, they
419
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.720
can do what they want. And
that's a lot of what's going on in
420
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:53.039
washingtonc with the federal government as well. Yeah, that it is. You
421
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:57.160
know that that deep state bureaucracy has
been a problem. And I say it
422
00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:00.799
over and over again that there's there's
so much that's going on in these bureaucracies
423
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:04.200
that the states should be handling on
the state level. Uh, and it's
424
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:08.720
it's time for you know, the
states to really jump up and take some
425
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:12.000
of that back away from the federal
government. Which you know, this is
426
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.079
one of the things I said I
kept saying about Rohndes Sances prior to him
427
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.559
announcing, is that rather than running
for president, right now. He should
428
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.880
be the governor that takes that lead
so that other states realize, oh,
429
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:26.519
yes, we can do that,
we can take that away. Right,
430
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.359
but I think he screwed that up
at this point. Well, hopefully he'll
431
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.079
he'll learn from this and bigger and
better things will happen for him. So
432
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.039
bringing it back, bringing it back
to you where you are, how are
433
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.119
things going at the station? I'm
not there anymore, which I'm sure things
434
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.799
are running a little bit more smoothly
now. But how's how's it all going
435
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:48.039
there? Well, they're not quite
as good looking. Well I took I
436
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.200
took my selfies with me, so
you know, yeah, well not all
437
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.440
of them. I have a couple
and for a minor amount of money,
438
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:57.680
we can I get it. You
know, that's right. I mean you
439
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.720
wanted to go check out my OA. I've got the quarters right there.
440
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.160
It's just five ninety nine a month, right for the next three months.
441
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.359
Um, yeah, everything's everything's going
good. You know, we have I
442
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:11.799
have four radio stations that underneath me, plus you know, doing the talk
443
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.079
show, and you know it's it's
keeping me busy, you know, kind
444
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.920
of out of trouble. So I
thinks both things are going good. They're
445
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.119
doing the Lord's work then keeps you
out of trouble. Oh something. Well,
446
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:23.079
look, man, let's take thank
you for taking the time to chat
447
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:26.119
with This has been fun anytime.
I always enjoy it. I appreciate it.
448
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.400
We'll be more in touch with you
as primary season heats up and find
449
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:32.720
out what the hell's going on.
I think you can give us a good
450
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:36.559
idea. So go play some golf
now you need to do that Saturday morning.
451
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:37.799
All right. Just I just booked
the tea time a little while ago.
452
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.720
Here we go, all right,
man, thanks again, folks.
453
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:51.319
That's Brian Rust on the Dave Carter
Program to rhythm Guitar behind Jeezy wants to
454
00:31:51.519 --> 00:32:07.039
be the lead sang in the bank. All right, let me talk to
455
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:14.400
you for a moment here about well, about your listening habits. And we
456
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:19.319
just talked with talk radio host Brian
Rust about the growing reach of his program,
457
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:23.759
which is literally heard all over this
country, even reaching deep blue enclaves
458
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:30.160
like California. Now, why is
that Well, this is pure speculation,
459
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:35.319
of course, but it could be
that the folks in California and then other
460
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:43.119
blue places are growing weary of unending
crime homocynal mediacs rampage in their communities,
461
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:46.680
breaking havoc mayhem, only to be
arrested in turn loose to do it all
462
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:52.640
over again. Maybe, just maybe
the folks there are sick to death of
463
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:59.319
the results of progressive policies, and
maybe they are interested in a truly radical
464
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:02.720
alternative like Oh, I don't know, I returned to the foundational principles that
465
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:09.039
we celebrate every Fourth of July.
Now it's just speculation, you understand.
466
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:15.920
But if you like that kind of
listening experience, then the Ricochet Audio Network
467
00:33:15.000 --> 00:33:20.160
is the place for you. We
have all kinds of podcast even and Coulter,
468
00:33:20.599 --> 00:33:22.920
I've just recently got a podcast on
the Ricochet Network. Former Secretary of
469
00:33:23.000 --> 00:33:32.440
Education Bill Bennett as a podcast along
with commentary magazine reporter extraordinaire Brian York has
470
00:33:32.480 --> 00:33:35.880
a show with us. The Federalist
is here, and let's not forget the
471
00:33:35.960 --> 00:33:40.440
Ricochet flagship podcast or Rob Long,
Peter Robinson and James Lilax talk about the
472
00:33:40.480 --> 00:33:45.799
issues of the day, some of
the most interesting and compelling personalities and minds
473
00:33:45.839 --> 00:33:52.079
out there. So if you like
what you heard here today, we'll just
474
00:33:52.240 --> 00:33:57.160
feast your ears on the copious amount
of intelligent and compelling programs that are available
475
00:33:57.880 --> 00:34:04.079
on the Ricochet Audio Network. You're
gonna love that thing to death. Now
476
00:34:04.079 --> 00:34:07.039
coming up in the near future,
and I'm not making this up, folks,
477
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.800
We're going to talk with a couple
who does paranormal investigations. That's not
478
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:15.639
all politics all the time here.
So these folks, one of them was
479
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.000
a very dear friend of mine I've
known for years. But they do paranormal
480
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:23.440
investigations, and it appears that there's
some sort of paranormal activity in the Carter
481
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:29.440
Cottage here in Panama City. And
I'm not just talking about the evenings when
482
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:30.519
I have, you know, red
beans and rice for dinner. Okay,
483
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.079
So we're going to bring these folks
in and they're gonna bring their equipment and
484
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:38.920
they specialize this kind of in this
kind of thing. They're gonna see what
485
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:43.679
they can learn, and then we're
gonna mike them up here in the studio
486
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:49.000
and tell us what the deuce is
going on around here. So that ought
487
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:55.000
to be interesting. It has been
a tremendous amount of fun bringing you this
488
00:34:55.039 --> 00:35:00.280
program today. I do hope that
you've had a good time and and enjoyed
489
00:35:00.800 --> 00:35:05.440
I've enjoyed sharing my little slice of
the world with you and bringing the conversations
490
00:35:05.760 --> 00:35:09.239
that we hope you find interesting and
fun and I give you something to chew
491
00:35:09.280 --> 00:35:15.360
on. So speak so with my
profound thanks to Brian Rust for sharing his
492
00:35:15.480 --> 00:35:19.920
time and prospectives with us and always
always with my sincere thanks to you the

1
00:00:00.240 --> 00:00:06.200
Broadcasting from the world's most beautiful beaches
in sunny Florida. Here's the soldier,
2
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:11.320
storyteller, historian, and maybe a
bit of a hell raiser. It's Dave
3
00:00:11.439 --> 00:00:26.039
Carter, and this is the Dave
Carter Show, all right now, the
4
00:00:26.199 --> 00:00:33.359
greetings greeting songs from Florida's Emerald Coast. The sun is out, surface up,
5
00:00:33.439 --> 00:00:40.359
dude, and it's just beautiful here
in the summertime in July. I
6
00:00:40.399 --> 00:00:44.880
mean, the humidity is laurid.
I mean it's like being in a giant,
7
00:00:45.039 --> 00:00:48.200
you know, sweaty armpit or something
a bit about. I know that's
8
00:00:48.240 --> 00:00:52.439
not exactly a flattering description, but
it is vivid. This This is the
9
00:00:52.479 --> 00:00:56.679
time of year when when I step
outside, I have to take off my
10
00:00:56.759 --> 00:01:00.280
glasses so I can see where I'm
going because the lenses fog up due to
11
00:01:00.280 --> 00:01:03.959
the fact that it's just stupid humid. So I have to take the glasses
12
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:07.439
off otherwise, you know, I'm
just kind of wandering around, not knowing
13
00:01:07.439 --> 00:01:11.200
where I am, dolling off in
the traffic, you know, or shuffling
14
00:01:11.200 --> 00:01:15.719
into the hedges like you know,
poor old Joe Biden. Oh, I
15
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:21.120
don't have the Secret Service around to
keep me from you know, falling into
16
00:01:21.120 --> 00:01:23.519
a ditch. But I don't want
to get into political analysis right now.
17
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:27.359
Neither does he for that matter.
Coming up in just a little bit,
18
00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:32.040
however, he'll be talking with a
friend of mine who just happens to be
19
00:01:32.560 --> 00:01:36.840
one of the most listened to and
certainly one of the most influential talk radio
20
00:01:36.879 --> 00:01:40.359
hosts in this part of the country, and in fact, his show is
21
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.840
heard all over the country. Brian
Rust has an enormously popular talk show,
22
00:01:45.239 --> 00:01:49.680
and so we'll get his take on
the current political craziness, and we will
23
00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.920
hear from mister Rust in a moment. First, I was I was talking
24
00:01:53.920 --> 00:01:57.359
about the summer here in Florida,
and I guess I dwell on the heat
25
00:01:57.640 --> 00:02:01.000
because I spent a great deal of
time in the heat, in the elements,
26
00:02:01.000 --> 00:02:07.239
and in traffic as I transport various
people to and from their doctor's appointments.
27
00:02:07.000 --> 00:02:09.159
That's my daytime job is to get
in my car and take these good
28
00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:14.599
folks where they need to go.
And to be honest, the experience of
29
00:02:15.120 --> 00:02:22.280
meeting these people, they are a
rather eclectic assortment of folks, and it
30
00:02:22.319 --> 00:02:27.599
all reminds me in some ways of
my experience years ago traveling across the country
31
00:02:27.960 --> 00:02:35.039
in an eighteen wheeler and meeting a
genuine cross section of America during the course
32
00:02:35.080 --> 00:02:38.479
of my life on the road.
Now are the people that I drive all
33
00:02:38.560 --> 00:02:43.039
have one thing in common, obviously, and that is that, for one
34
00:02:43.080 --> 00:02:46.520
reason or another, they aren't able
to drive themselves. And they come from
35
00:02:46.520 --> 00:02:53.159
all different socioeconomic situations. Some are
highly educated, while others are more or
36
00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:59.080
less self taught, if you will, I'm reminded of Mark Twain's assertion that
37
00:02:59.199 --> 00:03:01.879
he never he tried to never let
his formal schooling get in the way of
38
00:03:01.879 --> 00:03:07.840
his education. And that's that's the
case with a great many of these folks.
39
00:03:07.719 --> 00:03:12.560
But every now and then someone will
fire off a sort of do it
40
00:03:12.639 --> 00:03:17.400
yourself verbal expression that just catches me
off balance. I was taking a couple,
41
00:03:17.479 --> 00:03:22.400
for instance, of a couple of
patients to their appointments, their respective
42
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.319
appointments, when the person in the
back seat noticed that the person in the
43
00:03:25.360 --> 00:03:30.080
front passenger's seat, who she did
not know, was wearing when I believe
44
00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:35.719
they call some sort of medical boot
extending from the guy's left knee down to
45
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:40.199
his foot, indicating that he had
perhaps broken something. I guess at any
46
00:03:40.280 --> 00:03:46.439
rate, my back seat passenger volunteered
that she knew exactly what bone the guy
47
00:03:46.439 --> 00:03:51.280
in the front seat had broken,
at which point the guy asked, Okay,
48
00:03:51.280 --> 00:03:53.759
what bone was it, and she
replied, well, that's that's the
49
00:03:53.840 --> 00:04:00.439
cadaver bone, which was a new
one to me. I have one sister
50
00:04:00.520 --> 00:04:03.759
that's a nurse, another sister a
sister in law who's a surgeon, a
51
00:04:03.759 --> 00:04:09.000
trauma surgeon, and I don't remember
any of any mention from either of them
52
00:04:09.240 --> 00:04:14.199
of having treated a broken cadaver bone. But one never knows. So I've
53
00:04:14.199 --> 00:04:15.959
asked them both, talked to them
both, and they're going they're going to
54
00:04:16.000 --> 00:04:20.560
be on the lookout and if they
if they see a cadaver bone, why
55
00:04:20.439 --> 00:04:25.199
they're gonna chase that a little bastard
down and take a picture or something as
56
00:04:25.279 --> 00:04:30.120
proof that these things really do exist. I mean, I've only been doing
57
00:04:30.160 --> 00:04:34.279
this job a few months, and
I've transported all kinds of different folks,
58
00:04:34.279 --> 00:04:40.199
so senior citizens of course, and
parents taking children to doctor's appointments, including
59
00:04:41.160 --> 00:04:45.639
one lady who was taking her fifteen
year old daughter who's been diagnosed with type
60
00:04:45.639 --> 00:04:50.279
one diabetes to a doctor over one
hundred miles away, and by the way
61
00:04:50.279 --> 00:04:55.519
that young girl has already mapped out
where she wants to go to college,
62
00:04:55.759 --> 00:04:59.240
what she's going to major in,
what she'll study, and what's she going
63
00:04:59.319 --> 00:05:02.680
to do with her life. And
you talk about inspirational, this young lady
64
00:05:02.839 --> 00:05:08.279
is absolutely amazing. And here's the
thing. I'll wrap this up here so
65
00:05:08.360 --> 00:05:11.319
we can get get Brian on the
line and talk with him about all the
66
00:05:11.360 --> 00:05:15.399
political stuff. And I don't want
to minimize the importance of the political sphere,
67
00:05:15.519 --> 00:05:19.360
chiefly because it keeps making deeper inroads
into the personal lives of everyone across
68
00:05:19.399 --> 00:05:25.519
this country. But here's here's the
essential point that I've picked up on as
69
00:05:25.519 --> 00:05:30.199
I meet these people, and that
is, look, they're they're all going
70
00:05:30.240 --> 00:05:33.839
through some sort of unpleasantness, to
put it mildly, from the chemo patient
71
00:05:33.879 --> 00:05:39.480
I transported yesterday whose wife is with
him every step of the way, to
72
00:05:39.600 --> 00:05:43.240
the lady who was in constant pain
from a back injury, but who laughs
73
00:05:43.240 --> 00:05:46.480
at my jokes and tells me you
amiss, dear old, so she says,
74
00:05:46.680 --> 00:05:53.120
you just amiss. And then there's
the dear, dear guy, I'm
75
00:05:53.120 --> 00:05:59.480
sorry that a lady who has developmental
issues who manages to brighten my day every
76
00:05:59.480 --> 00:06:03.160
single time might take her to her
appointments. Or the gentleman of very very
77
00:06:03.199 --> 00:06:09.160
modest means who was suffering from debilitating
elements, but who told me that he's
78
00:06:09.199 --> 00:06:13.759
blessed and that he is a wealthy
man because he is a child of God.
79
00:06:15.319 --> 00:06:18.560
These are These are the kind of
people who inspire those around them.
80
00:06:18.600 --> 00:06:24.639
They've devoted their lives to their families
and their communities. They plan for meaningful
81
00:06:24.720 --> 00:06:28.000
futures, as in the case of
the young lady with Type one diabetes,
82
00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:32.439
or they simply are being good will
ambassadors to everyone that they meet and affecting
83
00:06:32.519 --> 00:06:40.079
in a positive way their world.
You may remember William F. Buckley Jr.
84
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:42.959
Famously Said that he would you would
rather be governed by the first two
85
00:06:43.040 --> 00:06:46.199
hundred people in the Boston phone directory
than by the entire faculty of Harvard.
86
00:06:47.360 --> 00:06:53.240
Every day that I have the pleasure
of interacting with these good and decent people
87
00:06:53.720 --> 00:06:59.079
underscores the point that Buckley was making. These people read the papers, that
88
00:06:59.199 --> 00:07:02.399
they watched the news, then they
wonder what happened to common decency and the
89
00:07:02.480 --> 00:07:09.160
respect for human life and human dignity. Black white women, men, they
90
00:07:09.279 --> 00:07:15.120
all represent the sort of character,
manners, and gentle spirit that seems all
91
00:07:15.120 --> 00:07:19.959
but lost when we read the headlines
or listen to these precious little busybodies who
92
00:07:19.959 --> 00:07:24.800
want to order us around and won't
leave us alone. But good people,
93
00:07:24.879 --> 00:07:28.480
like the ones I get to meet
each day, they're still out there.
94
00:07:28.800 --> 00:07:33.000
They may be overlooked or even ignored
in the hustle and bustle of our busy
95
00:07:33.079 --> 00:07:39.480
lives, but that spark of goodness
and decency is still there. It's in
96
00:07:39.480 --> 00:07:45.040
the eyes and smiles, the wisdom
and the good sense of everyday Americans.
97
00:07:45.920 --> 00:07:49.920
And you know, at least we
can take some measure of solace in that.
98
00:08:13.000 --> 00:08:28.759
It's Dave Carter and this is the
Dave Carter Show. Oh man,
99
00:08:28.959 --> 00:08:33.000
Essen, that's some good blues as
a walking base there, that's the good
100
00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:39.399
stuff head verse. All right,
I guess I should behave at least momentarily,
101
00:08:39.919 --> 00:08:43.080
and welcome my friend Brian Rush to
the services here. Brian is the
102
00:08:43.120 --> 00:08:46.720
host of the Brian Rush Show on
News talking one on one FIM here in
103
00:08:46.759 --> 00:08:52.360
Panama City Beach, but his influence
greatly exceeds the terrestrial signal. Here.
104
00:08:52.759 --> 00:08:56.120
He has heard literally all over the
country, and he has interviewed all sorts
105
00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.840
of interesting folks, I believe,
including Marco Rubio, Rick Scott, j
106
00:09:00.039 --> 00:09:03.720
Sanine Pierrot, among many others.
He's been in radio for one hundred and
107
00:09:03.799 --> 00:09:07.000
thirty No, wait a minute,
um, thirty thirty four. It's about
108
00:09:07.039 --> 00:09:09.960
thirty four years. Is that correct, Bran just shy thirty four years?
109
00:09:09.000 --> 00:09:13.159
Yeah, okay. And he also, if you're interested, he preaches and
110
00:09:13.279 --> 00:09:18.039
lead singing on Sundays UH at the
golf course clubhouse. I think, yeah,
111
00:09:18.039 --> 00:09:20.120
that's that's pretty much where it is. And I don't know if preaching
112
00:09:20.279 --> 00:09:24.759
is exactly the best word to say, but it works. Yeah. Well,
113
00:09:26.120 --> 00:09:28.519
good morning, mister Russ. How
are you. I'm fantastic, how
114
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:33.320
are you? I'm doing good man, Thanks for joining the festivities here today
115
00:09:33.879 --> 00:09:35.960
and I'm glad to do it again. And I forgot to mention folks.
116
00:09:35.960 --> 00:09:39.879
Brian is the operations manager over at
Magic Broadcasting, which is the parent company
117
00:09:39.879 --> 00:09:43.279

FM and something about Willie. Yeah, there's a there's a couple of stations
119
00:09:48.200 --> 00:09:50.320
free will I just I just keep
rolling with things. Yeah, well,
120
00:09:50.399 --> 00:09:54.000
will see how it goes. Well. Well, that was the term that
121
00:09:54.240 --> 00:09:58.039
Bill Clinton years right, Well,
will eat never Mind? Yeah, a
122
00:09:58.080 --> 00:10:03.240
whole different podcast. So you rested
up for your from your vacation. Ah
123
00:10:03.320 --> 00:10:05.720
yeah, but that didn't last long
because I can went back to work on
124
00:10:05.759 --> 00:10:11.360
Monday, and that took care of
everything from Mary um not tuned down into
125
00:10:11.399 --> 00:10:15.159
your show this morning, and I
wind know, well, these things happen.
126
00:10:15.279 --> 00:10:16.919
But I have I have a friend
of mine that does radio out of
127
00:10:16.960 --> 00:10:20.879
Los Angeles, and I asked him, I'm just curious how people do these
128
00:10:20.879 --> 00:10:22.840
things, to do this stuff every
single day? How do you Well,
129
00:10:22.879 --> 00:10:26.240
first, how do you decide what
topic you're going to lead with? And
130
00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:31.679
then how do you narrow down the
list of crazy shenanigans that are going on
131
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:35.080
every day that you want to talk
about? Um, you know, it's
132
00:10:35.600 --> 00:10:39.000
it's kind of tough. Um.
You know, I generally start the day
133
00:10:39.000 --> 00:10:43.360
off with two to three pages of
basic topics. Um. I've got a
134
00:10:43.399 --> 00:10:46.120
lot of things sometimes that are just
off the top of my head. Uh,
135
00:10:46.399 --> 00:10:50.720
based on what kind of what's going
on. Um. And with Washington,
136
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:54.840
DC and politics today, you know, they give us plenty of show
137
00:10:54.879 --> 00:10:58.200
prep, to say the least.
So that's true. UM for me,
138
00:10:58.480 --> 00:11:05.000
you is, whatever's the top of
the news. Because obviously that's what a
139
00:11:05.039 --> 00:11:07.080
lot of people are talking about.
It is what people are concerned about,
140
00:11:07.120 --> 00:11:09.840
and and I just kind of roll
from there. You know, one of
141
00:11:09.840 --> 00:11:13.960
the great things about my show,
and I've talked about this before, is
142
00:11:13.440 --> 00:11:20.279
most podcast or most talk shows are
very very structured. You know, in
143
00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:24.960
every every hour, you'll generally have
four blocks that you know you'll be set
144
00:11:26.039 --> 00:11:28.039
to do this, and do this, and do this. And my show
145
00:11:28.080 --> 00:11:33.600
is so fluid that sometimes at at
at five oh six am, when that
146
00:11:33.759 --> 00:11:41.120
that open air fires, I'm kind
of going, yeah, I heard yesterday
147
00:11:41.159 --> 00:11:43.480
that the things started off, and
you're like, oh, hell, I'm
148
00:11:43.480 --> 00:11:48.200
not even beginning being near to being
ready. I am such a hot mess
149
00:11:48.399 --> 00:11:52.799
most mornings. And what's really bad
is that this week we started doing the
150
00:11:52.919 --> 00:11:56.159
video cast of the show, so
now it's making it even harder to hide
151
00:11:56.159 --> 00:12:01.679
that before I could make it up. Now it's you know, I'm the
152
00:12:01.720 --> 00:12:03.600
show starting, the cameras are coming
out, and I'm still doing this number
153
00:12:03.600 --> 00:12:09.600
agatting ear plugs, sucking it in
the back of the shirt. It's it's
154
00:12:09.720 --> 00:12:13.879
chaos. Now. I did hear
that you're listened to all over the country,
155
00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:16.279
of course, but if I heard
correctly, California is like one of
156
00:12:16.320 --> 00:12:20.960
the top five stakes that listen to
your program, Is that right? Yeah,
157
00:12:20.039 --> 00:12:22.360
it generally is. It's right up
in there. I mean, I
158
00:12:22.399 --> 00:12:26.559
haven't looked at the stats in the
past couple of days, but yeah,
159
00:12:26.600 --> 00:12:30.000
California does have a tendency to be
one of the high ones up there.
160
00:12:30.360 --> 00:12:33.679
And actually I've got a lot of
blue areas that listen. So what it
161
00:12:33.799 --> 00:12:37.159
is, weird? What are you
hoping, uh, California residents will do
162
00:12:37.320 --> 00:12:39.679
as a result of hearing you If
you want them to leave California and come
163
00:12:39.679 --> 00:12:46.320
to Florida. It depends on who
they are something they can stay there,
164
00:12:46.519 --> 00:12:50.240
Yeah, yeah, or you know, really, the biggest thing that I
165
00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:56.399
ever want to get people to get
out of my show is um is information
166
00:12:56.480 --> 00:13:00.120
and then to wake the hell up. You know. It's it's one of
167
00:13:00.120 --> 00:13:01.480
these things that I talk about this
all the time in the show about how
168
00:13:03.440 --> 00:13:07.759
people's lives are so busy. You
know, we have full time jobs,
169
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:11.360
we have families, we've got businesses, we've got interest to do, and
170
00:13:11.720 --> 00:13:16.840
you know, people just don't have
the time to really be all that aware
171
00:13:16.879 --> 00:13:20.799
of what's going on. And I
think that the political environment and especially that
172
00:13:20.799 --> 00:13:24.159
that one world order kind of a
group of people have really taken advantage of
173
00:13:24.200 --> 00:13:28.159
that. UM. So what I
really hope to people get out of it
174
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:33.440
is to just be aware of what's
going on and to hear something that is
175
00:13:33.480 --> 00:13:41.240
not a polished um corporate media message, because that's not what you get from
176
00:13:41.279 --> 00:13:43.080
me. I mean, there's there's
nothing polished about that mess. Well,
177
00:13:43.240 --> 00:13:48.120
and so oftentimes information to flow to
people is kind of stovepiped, right,
178
00:13:48.200 --> 00:13:50.840
just one little spicket that they that
they are tuning into. So we can
179
00:13:50.879 --> 00:13:56.039
expand that baits a little bit and
broaden europe message out there than that that
180
00:13:56.120 --> 00:13:58.720
helps out obviously, Yeah, it
does helps out a lot. And you
181
00:13:58.759 --> 00:14:03.240
know, this morning, I had
um had Chadwick moron, who is uh
182
00:14:03.480 --> 00:14:07.960
that sounded wrong. His name is
Chadwick Moore. Thank you had him on?
183
00:14:07.080 --> 00:14:09.919
Thank you? Oh my god,
I was reaching for the beat button
184
00:14:09.960 --> 00:14:15.200
here or something. Hell, okay, Chadwick's a moron. No, I
185
00:14:15.240 --> 00:14:18.200
had Chadwick Moore. He was on. He was happy to be he he's
186
00:14:18.240 --> 00:14:22.120
an author and he's a he's been
a commentator, he's been on Fox News
187
00:14:22.159 --> 00:14:24.200
a lot. Um. He is
no longer on Fox News anymore, but
188
00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:28.440
he wrote a book about Tucker Carlson, and you know, we were talking
189
00:14:28.480 --> 00:14:35.840
about how UM, cable news and
news in general on the broadcast side has
190
00:14:35.960 --> 00:14:39.080
really kind of it's dying out.
You know, people aren't watching anymore.
191
00:14:39.120 --> 00:14:43.679
The viewership on cable news is is
dropping out. So people have got to
192
00:14:43.679 --> 00:14:46.799
find their news somewhere else. And
you know, people are are turning more
193
00:14:46.840 --> 00:14:54.480
and more to more streaming um,
you know, other ops outlets to find
194
00:14:54.519 --> 00:14:58.600
their news. So that's kind of
one of the things that I'm hopefully gonna
195
00:14:58.639 --> 00:15:01.519
be able to capitalize a little bit. I didn't know, well from your
196
00:15:01.519 --> 00:15:05.720
Lips to God's Ears, UM,
I did hear. I don't know if
197
00:15:05.759 --> 00:15:07.000
we want to continue. I don't
know if we want to combine my lips.
198
00:15:07.639 --> 00:15:11.240
You may really have to start the
lightning. You may really have to
199
00:15:11.240 --> 00:15:15.399
startly lead to the singing. Um. But listen to him talking about is
200
00:15:15.440 --> 00:15:18.600
his book, and I found it
interesting. I didn't know this that to
201
00:15:18.679 --> 00:15:22.120
this day, Fox News hasn't let
Tucker know why they've sent him packing.
202
00:15:22.200 --> 00:15:26.559
Is that right? Uh? Yeah, And he officially hasn't been packing.
203
00:15:26.559 --> 00:15:31.799
He's still employed by Fox News.
He's just off the air, so they
204
00:15:31.799 --> 00:15:33.320
haven't fired him. Yet, so
the idea was just to hush him up
205
00:15:33.360 --> 00:15:37.639
then, I guess pretty much.
Yeah, just make him quiet, and
206
00:15:37.919 --> 00:15:39.600
you know, his contract is until
like I think it's the month after the
207
00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:45.120
election or something. Um, so
yeah, the perfect timing. Yeah,
208
00:15:45.799 --> 00:15:48.240
this is guess it's conjecture. So
I'm going to ask you to engage in
209
00:15:48.279 --> 00:15:52.240
it. But why do you think
they did that. I think that there
210
00:15:52.320 --> 00:15:58.559
was a lot of a lot of
pressure from the establishment because he obviously was
211
00:15:58.639 --> 00:16:02.440
one that had no fear with calling
out the establishment people, and he did
212
00:16:02.440 --> 00:16:06.639
that on a regular basis. Um, he called out people like Black Rock,
213
00:16:06.720 --> 00:16:08.759
which is one of the hands down, one of the most dangerous investment
214
00:16:08.840 --> 00:16:12.759
groups. Uh. They're very much
so tied to that one World order,
215
00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:18.200
uh you know, World form Worrial
Economic Forum kind of group. So I
216
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:23.480
think he he hit the danger button
of that that T word, which they
217
00:16:23.559 --> 00:16:27.879
don't want the T word out.
Yeah yeah, okay. Uh, speaking
218
00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:32.919
of your show, you've had some
pretty heavy hitters on there and putting some
219
00:16:32.960 --> 00:16:36.600
presidential candidates. Um, I don't
know if you've had this guy on,
220
00:16:36.759 --> 00:16:38.639
and I would never yes, I
would presume to offer advice. What the
221
00:16:38.639 --> 00:16:41.759
hell, why not? We're talking? But a great guy and I hope
222
00:16:41.799 --> 00:16:45.799
I don't miss his name. Up
is a vivic rama rama swammy swammy.
223
00:16:45.879 --> 00:16:49.279
Have you had him on? UM? Not yet? Uh, they've they've
224
00:16:49.279 --> 00:16:53.480
wanted me to have his his grassroots
person on, who's just kind of like
225
00:16:53.519 --> 00:16:57.360
a campaign advisor, and I told
them no, U, I said,
226
00:16:57.360 --> 00:17:00.399
I don't want her on. And
I've actually had her on. It's Kathy
227
00:17:00.440 --> 00:17:04.240
Burnett who ran for the Senate in
Pennsylvania. She's great. She lost,
228
00:17:04.920 --> 00:17:07.119
but she was great, but I
didn't want to run. I want him
229
00:17:07.119 --> 00:17:11.160
on. UM. You know,
this is one of these things where I
230
00:17:11.160 --> 00:17:14.599
don't want your surrogates. I want
your people. So it says a lot
231
00:17:14.680 --> 00:17:17.920
when when you know they don't,
they don't want to be on and they
232
00:17:17.920 --> 00:17:22.519
send the surrogates. But yeah,
we're working on it. I've been kind
233
00:17:22.519 --> 00:17:23.720
of talking with their people a little
bit to see if from getting Yeah,
234
00:17:23.799 --> 00:17:27.880
I've listened to him and he's really
interesting to listen to. Yeah, it's
235
00:17:27.960 --> 00:17:32.759
just sharp as a razor and yeah, just very smart guy. He's got
236
00:17:32.799 --> 00:17:34.839
some compelling arguments to make, as
does Rick Scott. How did you like
237
00:17:34.880 --> 00:17:38.359
the interview with him? Uh?
You know, I've Rick Scott and I
238
00:17:38.400 --> 00:17:42.920
We've had a relationship for several years
now. Um. You know, I've
239
00:17:44.279 --> 00:17:47.680
known and worked with him for for
quite a bit. So, um,
240
00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:48.720
you know, when I have him
on, we we have a pretty good
241
00:17:48.720 --> 00:17:52.559
relationship. When we uh, you
know, we have great conversations. Um.
242
00:17:52.599 --> 00:17:55.839
It's been a little while since I've
had him on. We're working on
243
00:17:55.880 --> 00:17:59.839
scheduling an in studio interview as time
he's in town. Yeah. Um,
244
00:18:00.079 --> 00:18:03.319
but you know, he Um,
he's become a fighter. You know.
245
00:18:03.400 --> 00:18:07.839
Obviously he's got a little bit of
a reputation due to in an incident that
246
00:18:07.880 --> 00:18:12.920
happened with one of his hospitals the
years back. But overall he's a pretty
247
00:18:12.960 --> 00:18:18.319
good guy. Um, and he
is he's not falling into that establishment thing.
248
00:18:18.359 --> 00:18:21.839
And I think we saw that when
he tried to be thrown tater tot
249
00:18:21.920 --> 00:18:25.680
McConnell. Yeah, then then we
saw you know who in the Senate really
250
00:18:25.720 --> 00:18:32.119
truly is in that establishment area.
Did you said tater tot tater tot McConnell.
251
00:18:32.200 --> 00:18:37.119
Where did that? That's why I
call it that. Oh well,
252
00:18:37.119 --> 00:18:41.720
okay, Um, what did you
hear the the testimony yesterday, the exchange
253
00:18:41.759 --> 00:18:47.839
with FBI Director Ray and the folks
in Congress hearing. Yeah, okay,
254
00:18:47.880 --> 00:18:51.519
what did what did you What did
you make of that? You know what
255
00:18:51.680 --> 00:18:55.319
this this is one of the things
that that we're seeing with a lot of
256
00:18:55.359 --> 00:18:56.680
the administrative people. It's not just
Christopher Ray. I mean, you look
257
00:18:56.680 --> 00:19:02.799
at Alexander or my orci Us,
you look at you know, other you
258
00:19:02.799 --> 00:19:06.200
know, Justice Department people. I
mean, it's just it's this constant,
259
00:19:07.240 --> 00:19:11.799
holier than thou, how dare you
question me? Kind of attitude. And
260
00:19:12.559 --> 00:19:15.519
you know, I like, I
was talking about this this morning on the
261
00:19:15.559 --> 00:19:18.400
show that you know, in the
real world that the rest of us live
262
00:19:18.440 --> 00:19:23.160
in, you know, we've seen
CEOs of companies be dethroned because a marketing
263
00:19:23.200 --> 00:19:29.440
person tweeted something that they tweeted on
the wrong account or the wrong phrase or
264
00:19:29.440 --> 00:19:33.160
so sure, yea, And yet
we see what's going on with you know,
265
00:19:33.160 --> 00:19:37.960
the FBI, and sure there's a
couple of colossal screw ups that they
266
00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:41.359
have made. Um, but he's
trying to make it out like, oh,
267
00:19:41.359 --> 00:19:42.880
well, you know, we do
all these other great things. You
268
00:19:42.920 --> 00:19:45.039
don't even want to talk about them, but you know, you just want
269
00:19:45.079 --> 00:19:48.839
to talk about a couple of things. And it's like, but these couple
270
00:19:48.839 --> 00:19:53.599
of things are colossal. They're constitutional
violations, right, and to see the
271
00:19:53.799 --> 00:19:59.160
arrogance that comes out of people like
him, Uh, it's really annoying.
272
00:19:59.400 --> 00:20:03.279
And it is time for more action
and less less talk that we seem to
273
00:20:03.319 --> 00:20:06.960
begin listening to him talk about all
the great things that they've done, and
274
00:20:07.000 --> 00:20:08.680
I'm sure they have, but it's
it's it's a little it's a little like
275
00:20:08.839 --> 00:20:12.880
the guy who's accused of murder,
who's willing to produce fifteen witnesses who did
276
00:20:12.920 --> 00:20:18.000
not see him kill the deceased,
right, yeah, yeah, it's what
277
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:19.799
you know, to use that example, it's like, you know, here
278
00:20:19.880 --> 00:20:22.480
you are, you're accused of murder, and he'd be like, yeah,
279
00:20:22.480 --> 00:20:26.200
but look at all the puppies that
I had done, right right, you
280
00:20:26.200 --> 00:20:29.720
know, it's like, yeah,
but she murdered somebody, which is kind
281
00:20:29.759 --> 00:20:32.039
of the same thing with him.
You know, he points out all this
282
00:20:32.079 --> 00:20:37.559
stuff, and sure, there's a
lot of great things that the FBI lower
283
00:20:37.599 --> 00:20:41.240
level people who are doing, but
it's it's this upper level that well,
284
00:20:41.279 --> 00:20:44.680
and they're losing confidence. They're losing
confidence on the upper level. You know
285
00:20:44.680 --> 00:20:48.160
what, I don't think it's incompetence. I think that this is this is
286
00:20:48.200 --> 00:20:52.880
an intentional thing, and they've been
busted thinking, you know, who's gonna
287
00:20:52.920 --> 00:20:55.680
catch us, who's gonna call us
out on that? And they've been caught
288
00:20:55.720 --> 00:20:59.200
out, and now they don't know
what to do because they've been exposed.
289
00:20:59.279 --> 00:21:03.680
Yeah. For example, I thought
his exchange with one congressman about whether the
290
00:21:03.759 --> 00:21:07.680
FBI had anything to do with the
suppression of inconvenient speech on social media was
291
00:21:08.039 --> 00:21:11.200
very telling, particularly when he said
something to the effect that the FBI has
292
00:21:11.240 --> 00:21:15.960
never told social mediat was to shut
down any unpopular viewpoints, at which point
293
00:21:17.000 --> 00:21:22.079
the congressman said, yes, but
whenever the most powerful Yeah. From when
294
00:21:22.119 --> 00:21:26.039
the most powerful law enforcement agency in
the country says, gee, I don't
295
00:21:26.039 --> 00:21:29.559
like this. That has the practical
effect of a command to shut it down.
296
00:21:30.279 --> 00:21:33.000
Yeah, yeah, I mean that. That's one of many examples.
297
00:21:33.000 --> 00:21:34.480
I mean, look, they there. I forgot who was it asked him,
298
00:21:34.519 --> 00:21:37.839
but somebody had asked him about a
particular case, which is something big
299
00:21:37.880 --> 00:21:41.519
that the FBI director should know about, and he's like, well, I
300
00:21:42.039 --> 00:21:45.960
really I don't know anything about that. It's like, tell us you don't
301
00:21:47.000 --> 00:21:48.599
know anything about it, you know
what's going on? I mean, for
302
00:21:49.039 --> 00:21:53.680
you to not know about some small
minute little case that's happening in like,
303
00:21:53.759 --> 00:21:57.519
you know, Idaho someplace. All
right, I get that, But these
304
00:21:57.640 --> 00:22:03.480
major things that Congressional hearing is asking
you about, you should know this stuff.
305
00:22:03.920 --> 00:22:06.559
I think he does. I don't
think it's incompetence at all. It's
306
00:22:06.599 --> 00:22:08.559
just the arrogance of how dare you
question me? Well, hopefully to have
307
00:22:08.640 --> 00:22:12.640
Kevin McCarthy will have the wherewithal to
do something about this definitive or even with
308
00:22:12.680 --> 00:22:18.240
regard to holding him in contempt or
whatever it takes. I don't you know
309
00:22:18.279 --> 00:22:22.400
what it's at this point. It's
not even about holding contempt because I don't
310
00:22:22.400 --> 00:22:27.240
think they care, you know,
that's yeah. I mean it has to
311
00:22:27.279 --> 00:22:32.319
be a removal of them from those
positions, you know, at whatever costs.
312
00:22:32.319 --> 00:22:36.039
I mean, like Matt Gates had
asked him um or it was attempting
313
00:22:36.039 --> 00:22:38.519
to ask him some questions, and
he did the normal you know, talk
314
00:22:38.599 --> 00:22:44.559
over and you know, dance around, and his response was yeah, but
315
00:22:44.640 --> 00:22:48.079
you know, there's look at your
home state in Florida with all these people
316
00:22:48.079 --> 00:22:51.920
that are trying to join the FBI. And I think that Matt Gates through
317
00:22:52.160 --> 00:22:53.480
one hell of a nail in that
coffin, and he goes, Yeah,
318
00:22:53.519 --> 00:22:59.000
and they deserve better than you heard
that. So it's like he's trying to
319
00:22:59.000 --> 00:23:03.119
candy coade everything and not even like
And again, I don't think it's incompetence.
320
00:23:03.160 --> 00:23:07.720
I think it is just his ego
that is just getting in the way
321
00:23:07.759 --> 00:23:11.240
and the fact that they they've been
caught and they don't know what to do.
322
00:23:11.519 --> 00:23:15.039
True, I think you're right.
A different topic and one that I
323
00:23:15.039 --> 00:23:17.960
think you talk about rather frequently,
So maybe you can educate me. Tell
324
00:23:17.960 --> 00:23:21.640
me about Ron de Santis please?
Is he He's done some great things here
325
00:23:21.680 --> 00:23:25.079
in Florida. But I gather there's
a growing consensus that something is amiss in
326
00:23:25.160 --> 00:23:30.079
his campaign. What's going on?
Yeah, I don't know. You know
327
00:23:30.160 --> 00:23:36.920
that, And I'm so baffled because
I've I've I've been very impressed with what
328
00:23:37.039 --> 00:23:40.839
Ron Santis has done as the governor
here in Florida. You know, both
329
00:23:40.920 --> 00:23:44.920
prior to COVID and during COVID and
post COVID. He's done a lot of
330
00:23:44.960 --> 00:23:48.440
things. He's made a few errors
in how he's approached a couple things,
331
00:23:48.440 --> 00:23:52.279
and obviously I don't agree a hundred
percent, and we never should agree a
332
00:23:52.359 --> 00:23:57.799
hundred percent. But his campaign is
just not taking off. I mean,
333
00:23:57.799 --> 00:24:02.119
first of I don't think it's his
time. Um, and he is.
334
00:24:02.640 --> 00:24:07.759
He is a Donald Trump junior with
a little bit more class. He's pugnacious
335
00:24:07.920 --> 00:24:11.519
delivery, he's pugnacious, but he's
not bore. I mean, he's got
336
00:24:11.519 --> 00:24:17.319
the same ideology. Um. And
you know, it's it's like having you
337
00:24:17.359 --> 00:24:19.160
know, Dad in the sun coming
up, going pick us, pick us.
338
00:24:19.720 --> 00:24:22.720
Uh. You know, we're only
gonna pick one of you, and
339
00:24:22.759 --> 00:24:25.279
we're gonna pick the one that is, you know, a little bit more
340
00:24:25.319 --> 00:24:29.480
proven than the other. So Junior
sit down for a minute. Uh.
341
00:24:29.519 --> 00:24:33.319
You know, I think he jumped
into it too early. I think there's
342
00:24:33.319 --> 00:24:37.400
a lot of things that have hurt
him, like his attack on Disney,
343
00:24:37.000 --> 00:24:41.640
um, which rightfully so with what
he morally went after them, But I
344
00:24:41.680 --> 00:24:45.759
think that he took it too far, and now the left is labeling him
345
00:24:47.279 --> 00:24:49.920
in a way that is very hard
to come back. You know, we
346
00:24:51.079 --> 00:24:53.319
here in Florida, we we know
what Ronda Santis is all about. But
347
00:24:53.480 --> 00:24:59.640
you look at him around the country
and people see he's banning books. Uh,
348
00:24:59.680 --> 00:25:03.960
he's burning books, he's arresting black
people. He's anti drag, he's
349
00:25:04.039 --> 00:25:08.839
homophobic, he's racist, he's sexist. We don't see that here because we
350
00:25:08.880 --> 00:25:15.039
see the real story, but others
don't. And unfortunately, he's also said
351
00:25:15.160 --> 00:25:18.839
some things that have been taken out
of context, which just kind of add
352
00:25:18.920 --> 00:25:22.720
to it, and his team has
not really hit back on that messaging.
353
00:25:22.759 --> 00:25:26.279
He's brilliant at handling the media.
When a reporter comes out and tries to
354
00:25:26.359 --> 00:25:30.759
hit him with something, you know, he'll put that reporter in the place.
355
00:25:30.839 --> 00:25:33.839
But the problem is is that that
reporter and that network is not going
356
00:25:33.880 --> 00:25:37.359
to air the fact that Rodasantists put
them in their place. Instead, they're
357
00:25:37.400 --> 00:25:41.960
going to air the narrative that they
want. So wrong time for him.
358
00:25:42.079 --> 00:25:45.000
I think he's got the wrong people
that's giving him advice, and I think
359
00:25:45.000 --> 00:25:51.319
that's he's getting connected with the wrong
people. I hear that Karl Rove is
360
00:25:51.359 --> 00:25:55.759
advising, but they're denying it.
And I've also heard that there's a lot
361
00:25:55.759 --> 00:26:00.359
of establishment people. But he's just
he's not taken off well with respect to
362
00:26:00.599 --> 00:26:03.079
the labels that they that they throw
on him, and they do that to
363
00:26:03.119 --> 00:26:07.200
everybody. I mean, hell,
they threw labels on Mitt Romney and even
364
00:26:07.200 --> 00:26:10.799
when he was running for president,
John McCain wasn't the Antichrist. That's what
365
00:26:10.920 --> 00:26:12.240
they do. You've got to be
able to combat it, right, So
366
00:26:12.279 --> 00:26:15.519
he's not doing that effectively. Is
that the issue? Yeah, he's not.
367
00:26:15.599 --> 00:26:18.880
And to be perfectly honest with you, that's that's one of the Republican
368
00:26:18.960 --> 00:26:23.200
Party's problem. I mean, I
think the first person to come back and
369
00:26:23.880 --> 00:26:27.799
do messaging correctly has been Donald Trump. I mean, he did it with
370
00:26:27.839 --> 00:26:33.240
a five hundred pound hammer, um, but he was able to hit back
371
00:26:33.279 --> 00:26:37.400
and he was able to you know, counter the message. And the rest
372
00:26:37.400 --> 00:26:41.319
of the Republican Party they're horrible at
it. I Mean I had the RNC,
373
00:26:41.440 --> 00:26:44.920
I three members of the RNC on
the show a couple months back,
374
00:26:44.920 --> 00:26:48.880
about three months back, and they're
they're touting this this new get out the
375
00:26:48.960 --> 00:26:52.799
vote thing that they're doing. And
as somebody who does this as a living,
376
00:26:52.680 --> 00:26:56.559
you know, and I've got to
make sure that I know what's going
377
00:26:56.599 --> 00:27:00.400
on and what's happening and what they're
doing, I haven't seen anything about it.
378
00:27:00.680 --> 00:27:03.200
So it's like they're not doing anything
now. Meanwhile, the Democrats are
379
00:27:03.200 --> 00:27:07.160
out with their messaging, they're fine
tuning their approach, and the Republicans are
380
00:27:07.200 --> 00:27:11.559
just doing nothing. Okay, Well, I hope they hold the whys up.
381
00:27:12.119 --> 00:27:17.119
Do you have any early sense?
I don't know how much prognosticating you
382
00:27:17.200 --> 00:27:18.599
do, but do you have an
early sense of how you think the Republican
383
00:27:18.640 --> 00:27:23.519
primaries are going to play out?
Yeah, I think that it's going to
384
00:27:25.279 --> 00:27:29.440
in the end it will be Donald
Trump. I think he's gonna to rack
385
00:27:29.559 --> 00:27:33.759
up that fairly dominantly. You know, you look at the polls now he's
386
00:27:33.119 --> 00:27:40.440
twenty thirty points ahead of Rhonda Santis. Rhonda Santis is dropping. I think
387
00:27:40.480 --> 00:27:44.519
that you will end up seeing Vivic
Remswami probably be the number two person.
388
00:27:45.599 --> 00:27:49.519
Kay. I think Santists will fizzle
out a little bit more. And then
389
00:27:51.559 --> 00:27:53.160
you know, I think Nicky Haley
will hang in there a little bit,
390
00:27:53.240 --> 00:27:56.039
Tim Scott will hang in there a
little bit. Everybody else is going to
391
00:27:56.119 --> 00:28:00.680
just disappear. But I think in
the and it will be Donald Trump.
392
00:28:02.039 --> 00:28:06.119
Um, and uh, you know, with Vivic probably than the number two
393
00:28:06.119 --> 00:28:11.920
person trailing behind him. Okay,
well, I'm I have a real easily
394
00:28:11.240 --> 00:28:17.279
philosophy that I apply to this.
And as goes back to Bill Buckley's admonishment
395
00:28:17.359 --> 00:28:21.759
to choose the right word most viable
candidate. So that's what I'm gonna do.
396
00:28:21.920 --> 00:28:26.200
You know, ultimately, I'm not
a cult of personality person I will
397
00:28:26.240 --> 00:28:29.279
take I will take a can of
paint. If the policies are correct,
398
00:28:29.519 --> 00:28:32.119
I vote for the policies. And
so that's what I'll end up doing.
399
00:28:32.160 --> 00:28:33.440
I don't know how how many other
people would do that, but that'll be
400
00:28:33.480 --> 00:28:37.720
That'll be the route that I take. Yeah, and I think this time
401
00:28:37.759 --> 00:28:41.720
around, um, you know,
Donald Trump, he's got the proven policies
402
00:28:41.119 --> 00:28:44.960
and not only was it proven that, you know, hey, here's what
403
00:28:45.039 --> 00:28:48.119
I did, but here's what I
did. And then the next guy comes
404
00:28:48.119 --> 00:28:52.839
in and reversed it all and magnified
that what I did do worked right.
405
00:28:52.039 --> 00:28:56.799
But in addition to that, because
of everything going on in Washington right now,
406
00:28:56.599 --> 00:29:00.319
I think a lot of people may
be looking at this in two ways.
407
00:29:00.400 --> 00:29:02.880
Yes, his policies work, but
he's also going to be the guy
408
00:29:02.880 --> 00:29:04.400
that's going to come in with a
bulldozer and knock down what needs to be
409
00:29:04.480 --> 00:29:11.720
knocked down. Because everybody's seeing the
you know, the deep state, the
410
00:29:11.720 --> 00:29:14.960
one World order kind of group.
I mean, this is so fully exposed
411
00:29:15.000 --> 00:29:18.359
because they promote themselves that this is
what they're doing. So we really do
412
00:29:18.519 --> 00:29:23.279
need a Donald Trump to go in
with the proven policies and that personality and
413
00:29:23.319 --> 00:29:27.680
attitude of I'm going to take them
down and we'll see what happens. I
414
00:29:27.720 --> 00:29:32.480
hope, So, I hope.
So this an entrenched bureaucracy. And it's
415
00:29:32.480 --> 00:29:36.079
like, well, I was in
the military. We would have the civil
416
00:29:36.079 --> 00:29:40.119
service folks that worked at base,
at the base forever, and commanders come,
417
00:29:40.200 --> 00:29:42.799
commanders go. But they call the
permanent party folks, the civil servants
418
00:29:42.799 --> 00:29:45.799
that stay there the entire time,
and they can slow roll things, they
419
00:29:45.799 --> 00:29:48.720
can do what they want. And
that's a lot of what's going on in
420
00:29:48.839 --> 00:29:53.039
washingtonc with the federal government as well. Yeah, that it is. You
421
00:29:53.039 --> 00:29:57.160
know that that deep state bureaucracy has
been a problem. And I say it
422
00:29:57.160 --> 00:30:00.799
over and over again that there's there's
so much that's going on in these bureaucracies
423
00:30:02.000 --> 00:30:04.200
that the states should be handling on
the state level. Uh, and it's
424
00:30:04.279 --> 00:30:08.720
it's time for you know, the
states to really jump up and take some
425
00:30:08.799 --> 00:30:12.000
of that back away from the federal
government. Which you know, this is
426
00:30:12.039 --> 00:30:15.079
one of the things I said I
kept saying about Rohndes Sances prior to him
427
00:30:15.200 --> 00:30:18.559
announcing, is that rather than running
for president, right now. He should
428
00:30:18.599 --> 00:30:22.880
be the governor that takes that lead
so that other states realize, oh,
429
00:30:22.960 --> 00:30:26.519
yes, we can do that,
we can take that away. Right,
430
00:30:26.880 --> 00:30:29.359
but I think he screwed that up
at this point. Well, hopefully he'll
431
00:30:29.440 --> 00:30:33.079
he'll learn from this and bigger and
better things will happen for him. So
432
00:30:33.160 --> 00:30:36.039
bringing it back, bringing it back
to you where you are, how are
433
00:30:36.079 --> 00:30:38.119
things going at the station? I'm
not there anymore, which I'm sure things
434
00:30:38.119 --> 00:30:41.799
are running a little bit more smoothly
now. But how's how's it all going
435
00:30:41.880 --> 00:30:48.039
there? Well, they're not quite
as good looking. Well I took I
436
00:30:48.119 --> 00:30:52.200
took my selfies with me, so
you know, yeah, well not all
437
00:30:52.240 --> 00:30:56.440
of them. I have a couple
and for a minor amount of money,
438
00:30:56.440 --> 00:30:57.680
we can I get it. You
know, that's right. I mean you
439
00:30:57.839 --> 00:31:00.720
wanted to go check out my OA. I've got the quarters right there.
440
00:31:00.799 --> 00:31:04.160
It's just five ninety nine a month, right for the next three months.
441
00:31:04.400 --> 00:31:08.359
Um, yeah, everything's everything's going
good. You know, we have I
442
00:31:08.480 --> 00:31:11.799
have four radio stations that underneath me, plus you know, doing the talk
443
00:31:11.799 --> 00:31:15.079
show, and you know it's it's
keeping me busy, you know, kind
444
00:31:15.079 --> 00:31:18.920
of out of trouble. So I
thinks both things are going good. They're
445
00:31:18.920 --> 00:31:22.119
doing the Lord's work then keeps you
out of trouble. Oh something. Well,
446
00:31:22.160 --> 00:31:23.079
look, man, let's take thank
you for taking the time to chat
447
00:31:23.119 --> 00:31:26.119
with This has been fun anytime.
I always enjoy it. I appreciate it.
448
00:31:26.160 --> 00:31:30.400
We'll be more in touch with you
as primary season heats up and find
449
00:31:30.400 --> 00:31:32.720
out what the hell's going on.
I think you can give us a good
450
00:31:32.759 --> 00:31:36.559
idea. So go play some golf
now you need to do that Saturday morning.
451
00:31:36.559 --> 00:31:37.799
All right. Just I just booked
the tea time a little while ago.
452
00:31:37.839 --> 00:31:41.720
Here we go, all right,
man, thanks again, folks.
453
00:31:41.759 --> 00:31:51.319
That's Brian Rust on the Dave Carter
Program to rhythm Guitar behind Jeezy wants to
454
00:31:51.519 --> 00:32:07.039
be the lead sang in the bank. All right, let me talk to
455
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:14.400
you for a moment here about well, about your listening habits. And we
456
00:32:14.480 --> 00:32:19.319
just talked with talk radio host Brian
Rust about the growing reach of his program,
457
00:32:19.359 --> 00:32:23.759
which is literally heard all over this
country, even reaching deep blue enclaves
458
00:32:23.839 --> 00:32:30.160
like California. Now, why is
that Well, this is pure speculation,
459
00:32:30.200 --> 00:32:35.319
of course, but it could be
that the folks in California and then other
460
00:32:35.440 --> 00:32:43.119
blue places are growing weary of unending
crime homocynal mediacs rampage in their communities,
461
00:32:43.519 --> 00:32:46.680
breaking havoc mayhem, only to be
arrested in turn loose to do it all
462
00:32:46.680 --> 00:32:52.640
over again. Maybe, just maybe
the folks there are sick to death of
463
00:32:52.720 --> 00:32:59.319
the results of progressive policies, and
maybe they are interested in a truly radical
464
00:32:59.359 --> 00:33:02.720
alternative like Oh, I don't know, I returned to the foundational principles that
465
00:33:02.759 --> 00:33:09.039
we celebrate every Fourth of July.
Now it's just speculation, you understand.
466
00:33:10.359 --> 00:33:15.920
But if you like that kind of
listening experience, then the Ricochet Audio Network
467

477
00:34:07.079 --> 00:34:10.800
We're going to talk with a couple
who does paranormal investigations. That's not
478
00:34:10.840 --> 00:34:15.639
all politics all the time here.
So these folks, one of them was
479
00:34:15.679 --> 00:34:17.000
a very dear friend of mine I've
known for years. But they do paranormal
480
00:34:17.039 --> 00:34:23.440
investigations, and it appears that there's
some sort of paranormal activity in the Carter
481
00:34:23.519 --> 00:34:29.440
Cottage here in Panama City. And
I'm not just talking about the evenings when
482
00:34:29.440 --> 00:34:30.519
I have, you know, red
beans and rice for dinner. Okay,
483
00:34:32.320 --> 00:34:37.079
So we're going to bring these folks
in and they're gonna bring their equipment and
484
00:34:37.480 --> 00:34:38.920
they specialize this kind of in this
kind of thing. They're gonna see what
485
00:34:38.960 --> 00:34:43.679
they can learn, and then we're
gonna mike them up here in the studio
486
00:34:45.159 --> 00:34:49.000
and tell us what the deuce is
going on around here. So that ought
487
00:34:49.000 --> 00:34:55.000

a tremendous amount of fun bringing you this
