Whiskey Dave and the Current Crisis - 6:18:23, 10.26 AM

WEBVTT

1
00:00:00.280 --> 00:00:06.200
Broadcasting from the world's most beautiful beaches
in sunny Florida. Here is the soldier,

2
00:00:06.440 --> 00:00:10.960
storyteller, historian, and maybe a
bit of a hell raiser. It's

3
00:00:11.080 --> 00:00:26.920
Dave Carter, and this is the
Dave Carter Show. Well it's been a

4
00:00:26.920 --> 00:00:29.640
minute, hasn't it. It's been
a while since I've been able to talk

5
00:00:29.640 --> 00:00:36.600
to you. I mean, when
I put Memphis in the rear view mirror

6
00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:41.640
and you know, traded in the
Freda in Mogadisha on the Mississippi for the

7
00:00:41.640 --> 00:00:46.640
comparative tranquility of paradise on the beach
here in Florida. One of the things

8
00:00:46.640 --> 00:00:50.200
that I promised myself and you as
well for that matter, I was I

9
00:00:50.200 --> 00:00:56.000
would get back to to a regular
routine, in a consistent schedule for podcasting

10
00:00:56.039 --> 00:01:00.640
and writing and that kind of thing. And you know, just years ago,

11
00:01:00.920 --> 00:01:03.159
when my friends and I would go
out to have a drink or two,

12
00:01:03.799 --> 00:01:07.599
you know, the evening invariably started
out with the best of intentions and

13
00:01:07.640 --> 00:01:11.159
then things would go sideways. Like
the Cajun song says, last night,

14
00:01:11.400 --> 00:01:15.640
at two, I went home with
a ten, and then at ten I

15
00:01:15.719 --> 00:01:19.200
woke up. I woke up to
a two. And that's how it wasn't

16
00:01:19.319 --> 00:01:23.920
radio sales, which is what I
immersed myself in when I got here.

17
00:01:25.280 --> 00:01:30.000
As much as I love radio,
especially radio broadcasting, the sales end of

18
00:01:30.079 --> 00:01:34.560
it is a wretched mess, just
a hideous way to eke out a living.

19
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:37.719
Is a little more than a glorified
door to door salesman. Actually,

20
00:01:38.439 --> 00:01:42.000
you know, trying to persuade business
owners that it's in their best interest somehow

21
00:01:42.040 --> 00:01:45.920
to part company with their wallet.
In the best of times, that kind

22
00:01:45.959 --> 00:01:49.480
of thing is a tough slog.
But in a soft economy like this,

23
00:01:49.000 --> 00:01:53.159
like what we've got right now,
where inflation is depreciating the value of the

24
00:01:53.239 --> 00:01:59.599
resources available to business owners, they
are understandably doing their dead level best to

25
00:01:59.719 --> 00:02:04.799
hus been what resources they have.
And I mean wouldn't you would, I

26
00:02:04.840 --> 00:02:07.319
mean, wouldn't you try to save
whatever you can given the uncertainty of the

27
00:02:07.319 --> 00:02:10.719
economy. I mean you would if
he had any sense, which you know,

28
00:02:10.759 --> 00:02:14.960
whether in business or in your personal
finances. We hope you've got it

29
00:02:15.159 --> 00:02:17.520
since the sense that is. But
let's face it, when it comes to

30
00:02:17.560 --> 00:02:23.599
persuading businesses to turn loose with their
cash, is tough to compete, you

31
00:02:23.639 --> 00:02:28.319
know, with the irs. Who
offers deals that you literally cannot refuse.

32
00:02:29.000 --> 00:02:35.039
So what started out as a fun
job turn really turned into a show with

33
00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:39.199
unending angst. As the initial safety
net of a salary was withdrawn in favor

34
00:02:39.240 --> 00:02:45.439
of meager commissions, one soon realizes
that you can make as much or more

35
00:02:45.479 --> 00:02:49.840
money standing around saying welcome to Walmart
as you can in radio sales, and

36
00:02:49.919 --> 00:02:53.479
the stress just wasn't worth it.
It's it's it's a twenty four or seven

37
00:02:53.599 --> 00:02:59.360
angst, which tends to crowd out
the energy and enthusiasm required for podcasting and

38
00:02:59.400 --> 00:03:04.039
writing and even relaxing. So,
as as I've learned over the years,

39
00:03:04.080 --> 00:03:08.120
situations that suck the very life out
of you and I turned you into someone

40
00:03:08.159 --> 00:03:13.039
that you are not and someone you've
no interest in becoming. At a certain

41
00:03:13.080 --> 00:03:16.479
point you may need to extricate yourself
and start fresh, and this last year

42
00:03:16.879 --> 00:03:22.319
has certainly been the year to do
exactly that. In my case, So,

43
00:03:22.439 --> 00:03:25.120
as luck would have it, I
had purchased a new car. It's

44
00:03:25.159 --> 00:03:31.240
a brand new it's a sporty of
sleek blacks today, and I tended the

45
00:03:31.280 --> 00:03:38.120
windows and promptly named the car Darth, after Darth Vader. As it turns

46
00:03:38.159 --> 00:03:42.520
out, there's quite a demand for
people with nice, dependable cars to transport

47
00:03:42.680 --> 00:03:46.520
ambulatory patients to and from their doctor's
appointments. They may have a walker,

48
00:03:46.639 --> 00:03:49.560
but that's about it. I mean
they can get in and out of the

49
00:03:49.639 --> 00:03:54.120
car, and you know something,
these these people appreciate and quite frankly need

50
00:03:54.680 --> 00:03:59.919
a professional and friendly driver that will
get them to and from their appointment safely.

51
00:04:00.599 --> 00:04:02.479
And I'm happy, I'm very happy
to provide that. And I'm delighted

52
00:04:02.919 --> 00:04:08.120
actually to provide that. First,
you know, it limits the number of

53
00:04:08.159 --> 00:04:11.000
people have to deal with it given
time to the number that will fit in

54
00:04:11.120 --> 00:04:15.759
my car, So that's a plus. But more importantly, these people are

55
00:04:15.840 --> 00:04:18.839
heading to appointments that tend not to
be very pleasant. And if I can

56
00:04:18.879 --> 00:04:24.160
get them to and from their appointments
in a stress free environment with some relaxing

57
00:04:24.319 --> 00:04:28.680
music, charge chords to charge up
their phones or devices, fresh bottle of

58
00:04:28.720 --> 00:04:30.800
water and maybe I'll laugh or two, that kind of thing, I'm very

59
00:04:31.120 --> 00:04:34.680
very happy and privileged to be able
to do that. So I work as

60
00:04:34.680 --> 00:04:39.839
an independent contractor for a company.
The schedule's rides for patients who are in

61
00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:43.839
approved healthcare plans to get where they
need to go. And then back home

62
00:04:43.879 --> 00:04:47.800
again. The pay is good and
you get You get an honest day's pay

63
00:04:48.160 --> 00:04:53.720
for an honest day's work. And
then when you're off work, you are

64
00:04:53.800 --> 00:04:58.720
really off work, though I've been
off for years now, but the stress

65
00:04:58.920 --> 00:05:02.319
is near zero, and I'm truly
free to pursue other interests. So when

66
00:05:02.399 --> 00:05:05.480
I go to a restaurant, for
example, I'm just there to enjoy the

67
00:05:05.560 --> 00:05:09.160
meal, you know, without having
a scheme and plot about how I can

68
00:05:09.199 --> 00:05:13.639
separate the owner from a part of
his earnings. I'm not that guy anymore.

69
00:05:13.720 --> 00:05:17.959
I'm not an in person version of
some wretched telemarketer, all of which

70
00:05:18.160 --> 00:05:23.759
leads me free to get behind the
mic and talk about well, whatever pops

71
00:05:23.759 --> 00:05:26.879
to mind, I guess. More
importantly, it allows me to establish my

72
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:30.839
own life and lifestyle and a tranquil
and quite frankly lovely place. In fact,

73
00:05:30.879 --> 00:05:36.240
I've named my little cottage here Tranquility
Base. It's where visitors are welcomed

74
00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:42.279
by invitation. I'm a bit of
a curmudgeon after all, if you didn't

75
00:05:42.319 --> 00:05:48.680
know, and I've always trended that
direction, but became increasingly misanthropic after having

76
00:05:48.720 --> 00:05:53.720
lived in households where a quiet evening
at home would be shattered by folks who

77
00:05:53.720 --> 00:05:58.600
assume that your life had no meaning
until they dropped by unannounced and proceeded to

78
00:05:58.759 --> 00:06:03.160
talk you to death about nothing of
any consequence. Really, it wasn't an

79
00:06:03.240 --> 00:06:08.759
emergency, wasn't anything serious. It's
just, you know, meaningless gun flap

80
00:06:09.360 --> 00:06:13.040
about nothing. Any plans you might
have had, like in my case,

81
00:06:13.160 --> 00:06:15.879
perhaps for searching a particular topic for
a show or an article, or catching

82
00:06:15.959 --> 00:06:18.519
up on the news, reading a
book that I've been meaning to sink my

83
00:06:18.560 --> 00:06:23.040
teeth into for a while, or
just having an evening's respite from a crazy

84
00:06:23.160 --> 00:06:28.199
job. That's all done. It's
demolished without plan or notice because someone wants

85
00:06:28.279 --> 00:06:32.680
us to hear their head rattle.
I understand that may sound insufferable, and

86
00:06:32.800 --> 00:06:38.079
perhaps I'm exactly that at times,
I guess, but I would never presume

87
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:42.480
to inflict my weirdness on other people
in the privacy of their own home,

88
00:06:42.560 --> 00:06:46.959
in particular, for example, without
either asking in advance or having been invited

89
00:06:47.000 --> 00:06:53.879
over in advance to do Otherwise,
any emergency of some source strikes me as

90
00:06:54.000 --> 00:06:59.800
at best thoughtless and at worst rude. So so how do I keep the

91
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:02.319
world at bay? Well? Every
now and then someone may drop by when

92
00:07:02.360 --> 00:07:06.519
my girlfriend and I are having a
quiet day together, and yes there's now

93
00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:11.279
a girlfriend in the picture, about
whom you'll hear more in a short while.

94
00:07:11.920 --> 00:07:15.240
But generally, unannounced visitors tend to
be close family friend of hers,

95
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:19.120
or even a grandchild or something of
that order, which which is fine.

96
00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:25.240
I don't snap at them because she
normally reminds me to plain ice in advance.

97
00:07:25.319 --> 00:07:28.319
But when they walk up to my
door, they will look down and

98
00:07:28.480 --> 00:07:35.959
see a doormat that says quote,
I see the assassins have failed, and

99
00:07:36.120 --> 00:07:43.000
the result is actually a very pleasant
visit with a few laughs, some heartwarming

100
00:07:43.079 --> 00:07:46.480
moments, and then they leave before
there is ever a risk of overstaying.

101
00:07:46.480 --> 00:07:50.560
They're welcome. I mean, I
love people, really I do, but

102
00:07:50.879 --> 00:07:55.560
but in measured doses, and generally
just a few at a time and for

103
00:07:55.639 --> 00:07:59.160
a limited duration. You like it
when people pop in and you're not feeling

104
00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:01.720
well well, No, not especially
No, no, do you I'm not

105
00:08:01.839 --> 00:08:05.680
the one spelling my guts here,
you know what though? No? What's

106
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:09.720
that now that I think about it. There was one instance I was in

107
00:08:09.800 --> 00:08:15.759
the hospital in Maryland. This would
have been around twenty twelve, and I

108
00:08:15.879 --> 00:08:18.519
had had a kidney stone that felt
like it was about the signs of Plymouth

109
00:08:18.600 --> 00:08:24.439
Rock or the Rosetta stone, and
they had to go in surgically and remove

110
00:08:24.560 --> 00:08:30.519
the thing. And they left the
stint in me, and which it was

111
00:08:30.560 --> 00:08:35.120
not a very pleasant situation. So
I'm in recovery and I'm not having a

112
00:08:35.200 --> 00:08:39.559
good time, you know. And
this little old lady, well, I

113
00:08:39.639 --> 00:08:43.600
guess here's a lady. Okay.
So this old buzzard waddles in and says,

114
00:08:43.919 --> 00:08:48.360
I'm here for tobacco cessation? Do
you smoke? And I mean,

115
00:08:48.799 --> 00:08:52.039
of all the visitors I could think
of, this one made no sense.

116
00:08:52.639 --> 00:08:56.200
So it kind of took me off
guard, you know. And I said,

117
00:08:56.799 --> 00:08:58.159
I said, no, no,
I don't. She said, you

118
00:08:58.240 --> 00:09:01.720
don't smoke at all? Is that
right? And I said, well,

119
00:09:03.080 --> 00:09:07.360
you know, I enjoy a pipe
maybe two or three four times a year,

120
00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:11.320
that's it. And uh, she
said, so you're a smoker.

121
00:09:11.679 --> 00:09:13.360
I'm like, okay, I guess, I guess, I guess I am.

122
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:18.279
Then so she follows that up with, um, have you ever thought

123
00:09:18.320 --> 00:09:20.919
of quitting? Oh? What do
you mean quitting? It's only two or

124
00:09:20.960 --> 00:09:24.440
three four times a year at most? What what what's to quit, but

125
00:09:24.639 --> 00:09:28.320
she was insistent. She kept going. Have you ever tried in the patch?

126
00:09:28.559 --> 00:09:31.639
She asked, So I figured,
well, I'll play along. Why

127
00:09:31.720 --> 00:09:35.480
not, I'm I'm pining, I'm
in pain with the hell. So I

128
00:09:35.559 --> 00:09:39.080
said, sure, I've tried the
patch but it didn't work. Why not,

129
00:09:39.360 --> 00:09:43.480
she asked, I said, because
because it wouldn't stay lit. So,

130
00:09:43.720 --> 00:09:48.440
yes, I like people, some
of them. Uh, Mark,

131
00:09:48.519 --> 00:09:50.679
you've got a sports report coming up, right, So I got idea a

132
00:09:50.759 --> 00:09:52.679
lot. Don't we all get together
here. We can all white up a

133
00:09:54.039 --> 00:09:56.559
flight up our pipes, or smoke
a patch whatever and just have a good

134
00:09:56.639 --> 00:10:37.120
job. Okay, no, that's
a watch, But it's Dave Carter's Sports

135
00:10:37.399 --> 00:10:41.600
with sports Goots, Drew Martin.
Mike beer has begun for an Alabama girl.

136
00:10:41.879 --> 00:10:46.080
Good morning, I'm Mark ben Wall. What strange times for Rebecca Miller,

137
00:10:46.200 --> 00:10:50.360
the former civil service employee who's been
seen cavorting with our own Dave Carter.

138
00:10:50.519 --> 00:10:54.159
Wait a minute, cavorting? I
mean the couple was seen at a

139
00:10:54.200 --> 00:10:58.919
fashionable restaurant in Saint Andrew's and Miss
Miller was asked how she enjoyed her date.

140
00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:01.159
It was fun. Shut up,
No, you shut up. You

141
00:11:01.279 --> 00:11:05.240
look like her dad. Will be
enough of that. It's a very attractive

142
00:11:05.320 --> 00:11:07.399
lady. Well, of course she
is, and you look like father time.

143
00:11:07.480 --> 00:11:11.919
Now, Look, the fact is
that Becky and I are actually very

144
00:11:11.960 --> 00:11:15.120
close in age. I don't want
to talk about that. Yeah right,

145
00:11:15.200 --> 00:11:20.159
Look, in actuality, I've known
a little Becky Miller. Sorry, but

146
00:11:20.240 --> 00:11:24.320
we've known each other for a little
over thirty years now. Really, yeah,

147
00:11:24.440 --> 00:11:28.679
really we met was many years ago
when I was on active duty and

148
00:11:28.879 --> 00:11:33.480
she worked at the base library,
and we dated, I think broke up

149
00:11:33.519 --> 00:11:37.080
once or twice. We were actually
engaged at one point, and then for

150
00:11:37.399 --> 00:11:41.080
various reasons, we ended up going
up our separate way and now she's drunk.

151
00:11:41.639 --> 00:11:46.759
No, actually, I think that
to use Becky's formulation, I think

152
00:11:46.799 --> 00:11:50.960
that time and experience has sort of
smoothed the rough edges from both of us

153
00:11:52.559 --> 00:11:56.320
and enabled us to get along much
better at this point in life. And

154
00:11:56.399 --> 00:12:01.279
I think that fate has finally smiled
in our direction. Sounds rather fortuitous,

155
00:12:01.360 --> 00:12:03.600
Yeah, I think I think that's
true. It's also very possible that we

156
00:12:03.720 --> 00:12:07.559
just weren't in the right place at
the right time years ago, and that

157
00:12:07.639 --> 00:12:11.039
we needed we both needed to make
our own respective journeys. I suppose.

158
00:12:11.600 --> 00:12:15.279
And you know, even in those
times when we looked around at our own

159
00:12:15.360 --> 00:12:18.759
circumstances and wondered, you know,
how the heck did I wind up in

160
00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:24.360
the middle of this or that situation, we were actually learning much needed lessons

161
00:12:24.559 --> 00:12:28.720
on the path that would eventually bring
us back together. Which leaves only one

162
00:12:28.840 --> 00:12:31.200
question, and that is, does
she ever worry that when you give her

163
00:12:31.240 --> 00:12:39.519
a hickey you might leave your teeth
on her neck? God? Just a

164
00:12:39.600 --> 00:12:58.840
horror, And that's not sports.
I'm Mark ben Waugh. All right.

165
00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:03.039
Some of you who may remember back
when this program originated from Memphis, that

166
00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.799
we occasionally had a surplus of people
named Dave. It was yours truly,

167
00:13:07.840 --> 00:13:09.840
of course. Then there was David
Diebel, a talented, hyper smart and

168
00:13:09.960 --> 00:13:13.759
hysterically funny comedian, and there was
a guy that'll we call Whiskey Dave,

169
00:13:15.200 --> 00:13:18.240
and every now and then I'd actually
get both of them on the program at

170
00:13:18.279 --> 00:13:20.639
the same time, and then I'll
just sit back and watch all the weird

171
00:13:20.759 --> 00:13:22.639
happen around me. It was fun. Perhaps we'll do that again at some

172
00:13:22.759 --> 00:13:24.960
point, I hope so. But
in the meantime, I'm monitored to have

173
00:13:26.039 --> 00:13:28.279
Whiskey Dave on the show with me
tonight. He can be heard on a

174
00:13:28.320 --> 00:13:31.840
recular basis as a guest host on
Real Side Radio, which is Joe Massina's

175
00:13:31.879 --> 00:13:37.080
show out of Los Angeles. It's
a pleasure, indeed to welcome whiskey Dave

176
00:13:37.200 --> 00:13:39.879
back to the services. How are
you, sir, I'm great, Thanks

177
00:13:39.919 --> 00:13:43.559
for having me A long time to
speak Dave. It well it seems like

178
00:13:43.679 --> 00:13:48.720
yesterday, I guess. But so
yeah, you're on you guest host on

179
00:13:48.799 --> 00:13:54.480
Real Side which is syndicated. How
many different stations now, Yeah, Joe's

180
00:13:54.519 --> 00:13:58.879
got a fantastic following. He's on
seventy two radio stations on the Salem and

181
00:13:58.000 --> 00:14:03.639
GCN radio work. And you're you're
one of the faves man. Every time

182
00:14:03.200 --> 00:14:07.840
you come on. It's it's always
a pleasure. Why I see you're doing

183
00:14:07.919 --> 00:14:11.320
what you're doing right now. We've
got to do real commercials because it's on

184
00:14:11.440 --> 00:14:16.159
terrestrial radio, which I miss.
I miss doing the podcast and not having

185
00:14:16.240 --> 00:14:18.240
all of that nonsense. Yeah,
it's crazy fun and I've got this this

186
00:14:18.399 --> 00:14:22.080
new toy here, this broadcaster pro
so I'm just I'm like a kid in

187
00:14:22.120 --> 00:14:24.519
a candy store doing all this.
So okay, So you've got a national

188
00:14:24.559 --> 00:14:28.799
audience and it would seem to me
a bit overwhelming to try and touch on

189
00:14:28.919 --> 00:14:33.039
all the stories in the headlines that
are breaking and dominating people's minds at any

190
00:14:33.200 --> 00:14:37.559
given moment. So is that a
challenge for you when you do host the

191
00:14:37.600 --> 00:14:41.519
show to try to focus on which
of the many train wrecks to choose from

192
00:14:41.559 --> 00:14:46.840
and focus on. Well, last
night we covered about fourteen different topics,

193
00:14:46.919 --> 00:14:50.720
and you and I probably covered half
of them. I mean, you know,

194
00:14:50.879 --> 00:14:54.799
after week after you got off,
I was on for three hours last

195
00:14:54.879 --> 00:14:58.759
night we were talking about how you
know there are there literally is a movement

196
00:14:58.799 --> 00:15:01.759
in California. It's through the state
Senate that they want to take custody away

197
00:15:03.279 --> 00:15:07.200
of a child from a parent because
the parent doesn't want the child to be

198
00:15:07.320 --> 00:15:13.639
mutilated or permanently develop it mentally damaged
with hormone suppressing drugs. And you know,

199
00:15:13.840 --> 00:15:16.279
this is this is the type of
thing when I take a look at

200
00:15:16.320 --> 00:15:18.759
it. While we can talk about
Trump, we can talk about Biden,

201
00:15:18.120 --> 00:15:22.759
talk about this, we can talk
and I look at this and this isn't

202
00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:26.759
getting Maybe it's getting national news on
the conservative circuit, but I mean,

203
00:15:26.879 --> 00:15:30.840
what are we doing here? I
mean, the insanity that is just overflowing.

204
00:15:30.919 --> 00:15:33.759
It's like a tsunami of crazy that's
crashing upon America at the same time.

205
00:15:33.799 --> 00:15:37.000
So what topic do you choose at
this moment? Right right, right

206
00:15:37.240 --> 00:15:41.879
right, And on that same train
of thought, you were kind of enough

207
00:15:41.879 --> 00:15:45.080
and crazy enough to invite me on
the program yesterday, and it was a

208
00:15:45.159 --> 00:15:48.279
blast. It is an intriguing is
change that we have. But again,

209
00:15:48.320 --> 00:15:52.440
there's so many things happening simultaneously that
even news junkies like H and I have

210
00:15:52.559 --> 00:15:54.080
a tough time keeping up with it. I guess what I'm wondering. And

211
00:15:54.159 --> 00:15:58.399
we touched on this briefly last night. Do you think that there's an effort

212
00:15:58.480 --> 00:16:03.559
to literally flood the names attention with
so many assaults on civil society, so

213
00:16:03.679 --> 00:16:07.080
many traditions and even logic and reason
itself under attack and being upended, that

214
00:16:07.240 --> 00:16:11.080
people can't keep up with the magnitude
of the destruction. Do you think that

215
00:16:11.200 --> 00:16:15.679
that's by design? Yeah? I
think to sociologists in the nineteen sixties,

216
00:16:17.039 --> 00:16:22.320
by the names of Cloud and Piven, Yeah, overwhelmed the system so it

217
00:16:22.480 --> 00:16:27.639
crashes upon itself so you can rebuild
it in your utopian desires. I mean,

218
00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:32.840
this is this has not been the
lat It feels like it's been ten

219
00:16:32.919 --> 00:16:36.639
minutes since all the crazy has been
happening. This has been a gradual build

220
00:16:36.720 --> 00:16:40.360
up over fifty years. Day.
Oh yeah, it's it's working. It's

221
00:16:40.399 --> 00:16:45.639
working. What they're doing is working. The fact that fifty fifty one of

222
00:16:45.759 --> 00:16:53.960
the country still is pulling the lever
for these idiots is I'm mortified by the

223
00:16:55.039 --> 00:16:57.600
fact that our neighbors and our friends
and people that we know in our families

224
00:16:59.080 --> 00:17:03.159
are not seeing as for what it
truly is. And I've got a lot

225
00:17:03.200 --> 00:17:06.759
of friends of mine on the right
or conservatives, libertarian leading, free market

226
00:17:06.839 --> 00:17:11.920
guys. Um, they're they're now
going austrich on us. They're saying,

227
00:17:11.960 --> 00:17:15.400
I've had it, I've had enough. I'm not focusing on this anymore.

228
00:17:15.400 --> 00:17:18.599
I've got to focus on my little
quarter, my family, or I'm moving

229
00:17:18.640 --> 00:17:22.319
to Argentina or Portugal. Yeah,
you reach a point where it seems that

230
00:17:22.440 --> 00:17:26.680
the train has left the station and
you're standing in front of it. Is

231
00:17:26.720 --> 00:17:30.240
not going to stop the train.
We tried election after election and then with

232
00:17:30.400 --> 00:17:37.640
various goop congresses to push policy in
the direction of individual liberty and national sovereignty,

233
00:17:37.359 --> 00:17:40.839
and they opted to go the other
way or at least that's the way

234
00:17:40.880 --> 00:17:44.119
the election went. And so I
suffer from a from a kind of a

235
00:17:44.160 --> 00:17:45.640
gloom and doom Outlook, well,
it's going to do what's going to do,

236
00:17:45.880 --> 00:17:48.480
and it's going to get ugly.
And in the meantime, I'm going

237
00:17:48.519 --> 00:17:52.960
to try to be a good father, you know, and do what I

238
00:17:53.039 --> 00:17:57.039
can do to live the right way. Um, I don't, I don't

239
00:17:57.039 --> 00:18:00.839
know. I did, Like we
talked with last night, Las, I

240
00:18:00.880 --> 00:18:03.759
did this almost suicide hotline time when
you think about all the things that are

241
00:18:03.799 --> 00:18:07.960
happening and you're you're you're correct about
Cloward Piven, although that was that was

242
00:18:07.039 --> 00:18:11.000
an effort to grow the welfare state. But the whole thing collapses in on

243
00:18:11.039 --> 00:18:14.880
itself and then there's nothing we have
to do except tell the fettay, come

244
00:18:14.960 --> 00:18:18.440
fix this. Yeah, I think
I think the overwhelming strategy. I don't

245
00:18:18.559 --> 00:18:23.279
know if it's by design of our
current crop of leaders. I think that

246
00:18:23.400 --> 00:18:32.000
they're just they're they're swinging for the
fences on every single issue and they don't

247
00:18:32.319 --> 00:18:37.880
care. Here's here's the thing.
The problem you have with Gope, the

248
00:18:37.000 --> 00:18:41.799
Paul Ryan's of the world, the
folks that are out there that that really

249
00:18:41.920 --> 00:18:45.960
just wants us to get back to
normalcy again, right, And I understand

250
00:18:45.039 --> 00:18:49.119
that appeal. Believe me, you
and I have had discussions over the past

251
00:18:49.160 --> 00:18:53.240
seven eight years regarding one Donald Trump
saying, my goodness, if we're only

252
00:18:53.319 --> 00:18:56.559
we could separate the good Trump from
the badgy right, get that. I

253
00:18:56.720 --> 00:19:02.880
get that. But the problem is
is that and I think Tucker is talking

254
00:19:02.960 --> 00:19:06.000
to this one of the most effective
speakers on this issue right now, and

255
00:19:06.079 --> 00:19:08.599
he's unrestrained. And I've been getting
text messages for the last three hours.

256
00:19:08.640 --> 00:19:12.240
I've just finished a business conference,
and I've got to check out his latest

257
00:19:14.640 --> 00:19:19.480
Twitter video that he does not apparently
he's calling it out for what it is.

258
00:19:19.599 --> 00:19:29.160
But the problem is is that we
are surrounded and really manipulated and controlled

259
00:19:29.920 --> 00:19:33.920
by very very very very few people
in this country. And we talk about

260
00:19:34.000 --> 00:19:38.200
media, and we talk about politicians, and we talk about academia, and

261
00:19:38.640 --> 00:19:45.519
we talk about all of that.
They're controlled as well. And I heard

262
00:19:45.559 --> 00:19:48.359
Tucker referring to this the other night. But I've been talking to this for

263
00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:55.400
years, and that is the big
money, the organizations that raise these massive

264
00:19:55.519 --> 00:20:00.440
equity funds that fund the targets,
and the anheis of bushes and and and

265
00:20:00.079 --> 00:20:06.359
those woke corporations right now, they're
dictating the ESG. We talked about this

266
00:20:06.519 --> 00:20:10.759
last night, the environmental movements that
you know we could okay, well,

267
00:20:10.839 --> 00:20:14.319
you know I could live in in
in fifteen different mansions, but as long

268
00:20:14.359 --> 00:20:17.640
as I can buy my carbon credit
off sets, I'm good. But meanwhile,

269
00:20:17.920 --> 00:20:21.000
you need to live in an eight
hundred eight hundred square foot home,

270
00:20:21.519 --> 00:20:26.400
eat rawmen, because that's good for
the environment. And these people are controlling

271
00:20:26.440 --> 00:20:33.240
the large corporations saying you must go
woke, you must act this way because

272
00:20:33.960 --> 00:20:38.000
Larry Think black Rock says we will
control how you think. This is what

273
00:20:38.160 --> 00:20:45.400
they are trying to do. Dave
control us, um, And I'm afraid

274
00:20:45.440 --> 00:20:48.160
you may be right. I don't
mean that in a bad way, but

275
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:52.160
I think you may be on target
here. And it's it's scary as hell

276
00:20:52.200 --> 00:20:56.319
when you think about it. Um. So let's hit a few topics below

277
00:20:56.400 --> 00:21:00.559
the thirty thousand foot level. The
Trump indictment. We touched on that,

278
00:21:00.920 --> 00:21:04.880
the double standards at work last night. What are your thoughts on that two

279
00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:10.400
tiered justice system that got some validity
to do it or what, Well,

280
00:21:10.400 --> 00:21:12.839
it's obviously a two tier justice system, I'm not going to say anything that

281
00:21:14.000 --> 00:21:15.359
nobody else has been saying for the
past couple of days. You know,

282
00:21:15.440 --> 00:21:18.160
he can go to Sandy Burger,
you can go to Hillary blah blah blah.

283
00:21:18.279 --> 00:21:21.440
Okay, I got it. I
don't want to repeat arguments that people

284
00:21:21.440 --> 00:21:25.720
are making that I think of valid
arguments. But I talked to this last

285
00:21:25.839 --> 00:21:30.359
night. Um, there are Listen, there's thirty seven counts for Trump,

286
00:21:30.720 --> 00:21:34.960
right, there are thirty one of
those that should be knocked right out away

287
00:21:36.440 --> 00:21:41.240
Espionage Act. It's stupid nineteen seventeen. He didn't he didn't threaten the United

288
00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:45.039
States. He didn't enable our enemies
or another country. Yeah, that's what

289
00:21:45.359 --> 00:21:48.839
espionage is. He did not do
that. Was he stupid? And and

290
00:21:49.880 --> 00:21:53.759
did he? Should he have given
back certain documents? Yeah? I think

291
00:21:53.920 --> 00:21:56.920
we can all agree that he didn't. But he's Donald Trump. Okay,

292
00:21:57.279 --> 00:22:03.039
But did he break the law thirty
one of those thirty seven counts, No,

293
00:22:03.319 --> 00:22:07.480
I don't think he did. The
scary thing, well, scary for

294
00:22:07.599 --> 00:22:12.359
people that don't want to see a
former president actually die in prison is the

295
00:22:12.480 --> 00:22:19.319
remaining six counts obstruction and lying,
And it's all process crimes. It's all

296
00:22:19.599 --> 00:22:26.839
reacting, you know, to to
to the to the investigation. It wasn't

297
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:30.319
the actual act of what he did
to begin with. It's the response to

298
00:22:30.440 --> 00:22:33.519
the DOJ. It's the response to
the FBI that looks. I mean,

299
00:22:33.559 --> 00:22:37.799
if you listen to Jonathan Turley,
that's pretty scary right now, if you're

300
00:22:37.839 --> 00:22:41.359
going Trump, yeah, yeah uh. And of course there was a different

301
00:22:41.400 --> 00:22:47.119
standard the DOJ and FBI with respect
Hillary Clinton and obstruction of justice. When

302
00:22:47.160 --> 00:22:51.759
you're destroying your server, when you're
taking hammers to phones and doing everything you

303
00:22:51.839 --> 00:22:55.920
can to get rid of You're right. Of course it's double tiered. Of

304
00:22:56.079 --> 00:22:59.279
course it is. If Donald Trump
had a D next to his name,

305
00:22:59.759 --> 00:23:03.799
the very people that want him to
serve time and die in prison would be

306
00:23:03.920 --> 00:23:07.640
celebrating. Oh sure, sure,
absolutely, there's no doubt. I mean,

307
00:23:07.720 --> 00:23:10.880
this is this is absolutely asinine.
Are we children? Do you think

308
00:23:10.960 --> 00:23:12.799
we're stupid? Come on, well, they like to treat us like we

309
00:23:12.880 --> 00:23:18.359
are. Um presidential politics. And
the last count that I saw tonight is

310
00:23:18.400 --> 00:23:23.759
we have eleven contenders in the GOP
primary. Eleven the last So I just

311
00:23:23.920 --> 00:23:26.119
came in today. I came for
the life of me, I just did

312
00:23:26.160 --> 00:23:29.759
a data dump in my head as
to who it was it was a mayor

313
00:23:29.960 --> 00:23:33.079
mayor of Miami. Yes, yes, that's it. Yeah, jump didn't

314
00:23:33.119 --> 00:23:37.920
jumped in today. So uh,
an overcrowded field like this, How do

315
00:23:37.000 --> 00:23:40.640
you think that plays out the same
way it did in two thousand and sixteen.

316
00:23:41.680 --> 00:23:47.599
I don't know. It's lots changed
since twenty sixteen. Yeah. Um,

317
00:23:48.079 --> 00:23:52.000
do you watch broadcast news anymore?
I mean really, I don't.

318
00:23:52.319 --> 00:23:59.079
You know. It's it's there's,
there's. I honestly can't predict the future

319
00:23:59.240 --> 00:24:03.319
on this particular give an election cycle, because well, first of all,

320
00:24:03.160 --> 00:24:08.880
the obviously Trump, who's the leading
candidate by double at minimum, is you

321
00:24:08.960 --> 00:24:14.559
know, he's been indicted on a
federal crime. So okay, how does

322
00:24:14.599 --> 00:24:18.079
that play out? I don't it's
it's not only unprecedented. I mean,

323
00:24:18.799 --> 00:24:22.799
you know, we could We'll have
to go deep into the annals of history

324
00:24:22.839 --> 00:24:26.279
around the world to see how that
plays out. Yeah. So second to

325
00:24:26.400 --> 00:24:32.559
him is obviously to Santis. I
like de Santis. I like his policies.

326
00:24:33.279 --> 00:24:38.400
I'd like him to be a little
bit more stronger, personable and friendlier.

327
00:24:40.359 --> 00:24:45.480
Um. He isn't what you would
consider central casting for our candidate.

328
00:24:45.359 --> 00:24:49.480
Um, but I like his policies. But I liked Donald Trump's policies too.

329
00:24:49.640 --> 00:24:55.519
Yeah, So I don't know.
I think everybody else is is probably

330
00:24:55.559 --> 00:24:57.599
an also ran at this point.
I think. So Chris Chritzie's back into

331
00:24:57.680 --> 00:25:00.839
it again. And the only the
problem why, I don't know, why?

332
00:25:02.720 --> 00:25:04.720
What? What? What is he? I mean? Does he plan

333
00:25:04.799 --> 00:25:07.839
on being on somebody's cabinet? Is
that? What it is? It's the

334
00:25:07.920 --> 00:25:11.640
only thing I can think of,
is they look at other other races,

335
00:25:11.920 --> 00:25:15.880
uh, Ben Carson being an example
that ended up as a cabinet secretary,

336
00:25:15.000 --> 00:25:18.160
so you know, and of course
Kamala Harris, well, she's vice president

337
00:25:18.599 --> 00:25:22.920
and she had she had to bow
out of the Democratic primary because their numbers

338
00:25:22.920 --> 00:25:25.839
were just abysmal. So they may
be bucking for that, some of them.

339
00:25:26.680 --> 00:25:30.119
But in what world does Chris Christy
get boats outside of his own family?

340
00:25:30.480 --> 00:25:36.039
I don't know. I don't know. And and he's favorite cashier of

341
00:25:36.119 --> 00:25:37.559
McDonald's. Yeah right, well,
And and the thing is, you know,

342
00:25:38.119 --> 00:25:41.640
we had this happened to that in
sixteen where you have so many people

343
00:25:41.720 --> 00:25:45.160
that are that are that are running
and then they don't want to get out

344
00:25:45.759 --> 00:25:48.480
if they did not want Trump to
win, and yet they some of them

345
00:25:48.519 --> 00:25:52.160
stayed in the race far too long, and when when when it boiled down

346
00:25:52.200 --> 00:25:56.440
to Trump or Cruise if things were
just so split that it was Trump.

347
00:25:57.000 --> 00:26:02.240
You know, the the when you
look at the twenty sixteen election through the

348
00:26:02.400 --> 00:26:07.680
lens of everything that we've now seen
from the past six seven years, Okay,

349
00:26:11.079 --> 00:26:17.000
Trump had to have won that election. Trump is he had to have

350
00:26:17.160 --> 00:26:21.200
won that election. And then you
take a look at twenty twenty and you

351
00:26:21.279 --> 00:26:25.480
and I've spoken about this. I
refer back to his State of the Union

352
00:26:25.559 --> 00:26:27.880
speech in twenty twenty. You remember
the one with Russian Limbaugh on the balcony.

353
00:26:29.079 --> 00:26:30.799
Yeah, that's the one that Nancy
tore up the text of the speech

354
00:26:30.839 --> 00:26:37.160
after which exactly she tore up the
speech. He was, in my mind

355
00:26:38.039 --> 00:26:42.519
he president in that moment. That
was one of the greatest You go back

356
00:26:42.559 --> 00:26:45.319
on YouTube and watch it, and
I don't think I'm over exaggerating this.

357
00:26:47.000 --> 00:26:51.240
That was one of the greatest State
of the Union speeches or any presidential speech,

358
00:26:52.279 --> 00:26:56.279
including Ronald Reagan going back to our
founding fathers. And it was such

359
00:26:56.400 --> 00:27:00.400
a perfect tone. Now, of
course, you had the Democrats sitting in

360
00:27:00.480 --> 00:27:07.599
white not applauding lower crime statistics from
blacks, right, and and all of

361
00:27:07.640 --> 00:27:11.440
the craziness that we saw there.
But I said, and I probably said

362
00:27:11.440 --> 00:27:15.519
to you at that time, that
if Donald Trump remains president, Donald Trump

363
00:27:15.599 --> 00:27:18.880
from State of the Union tonight for
the rest of this year. Now this

364
00:27:19.000 --> 00:27:22.599
is two three months before COVID.
Of course, right he this is this

365
00:27:22.799 --> 00:27:27.519
is this is landlocked, this is
this is a landslide. And of course

366
00:27:27.559 --> 00:27:32.079
the next day he started tweeting,
well yeah, but then and then and

367
00:27:32.119 --> 00:27:34.680
then there were the election law changes, and we know how that all unfolded

368
00:27:34.720 --> 00:27:41.720
as well. But what he has
done in twenty sixteen, whereby he won

369
00:27:41.880 --> 00:27:48.000
just enough of those states and shocked
the world. Twenty twenty he lost by

370
00:27:48.160 --> 00:27:53.240
five states, really half a dozen
congressional districts a total combined fifty thousand votes

371
00:27:53.279 --> 00:27:57.799
across five states to lose the electoral
college, meaning he lost the election.

372
00:27:59.799 --> 00:28:03.920
That was before everything that happened,
and whatever you want to say about January

373
00:28:03.000 --> 00:28:07.720
the six you know, listen,
it was it was ugly, it was

374
00:28:07.799 --> 00:28:12.720
embarrassing, but it wasn't BLM riots
that went on for months with billions of

375
00:28:12.759 --> 00:28:18.000
dollars in damage and people getting killed. That the Kamala Harris condone and and

376
00:28:18.640 --> 00:28:23.519
you know, raised money for and
that money went to pay for BLM founders

377
00:28:23.880 --> 00:28:30.960
homes in southern California mansions. It
wasn't anywhere close to that. So you've

378
00:28:30.000 --> 00:28:37.519
got January the six. Then you
obviously have everything that's been happening with Bragg

379
00:28:37.839 --> 00:28:44.160
and the indictment in New York.
You've got almost an definite indictment happening in

380
00:28:44.279 --> 00:28:51.039
Georgia coming up soon. You've got
obviously the major situation which is going to

381
00:28:51.079 --> 00:28:56.799
Trump everything, which is the federal
indictment. So I don't know, I

382
00:28:56.839 --> 00:28:59.640
don't know what the betting books are
saying. There are people that are out

383
00:28:59.640 --> 00:29:04.400
there Trump is gonna win reelection again. But then you look at Wisconsin,

384
00:29:04.519 --> 00:29:10.519
the Supreme Court, they just went
Democrats. So that state's lost. You

385
00:29:10.599 --> 00:29:15.279
don't Pennsylvania's lost. Uh, you
know, they went full tard And I'm

386
00:29:15.319 --> 00:29:18.559
sorry, I can't say that they
went full you know with the government,

387
00:29:18.920 --> 00:29:25.559
the governor there is Democrat. You
obviously got betterman there. Arizona is deep

388
00:29:25.640 --> 00:29:29.160
purple. I don't know if they
can go read again. Georgia is deep

389
00:29:29.240 --> 00:29:32.759
purple. I don't know if they're
gonna go read again. So what's Trump's

390
00:29:32.880 --> 00:29:37.359
road to win the White House in
twenty twenty four. It's a twisted road.

391
00:29:37.559 --> 00:29:41.920
If nothing else, I don't know
if he can do it. Yeah,

392
00:29:41.319 --> 00:29:44.400
well now I don't know if the
math is there. That brings up

393
00:29:44.400 --> 00:29:48.200
a question that you asked me last
night, and so um turned about his

394
00:29:48.279 --> 00:29:52.799
fair play. But you asked me
last night whether I thought the fate of

395
00:29:52.880 --> 00:29:57.599
the country hinges on whether or not
Donald Trump is elected or reelected? And

396
00:29:57.759 --> 00:30:02.559
I answer, I think mane is
more on whether whether or not Joe Biden

397
00:30:02.599 --> 00:30:04.519
and as radicals remain in office.
Honestly, But what what do you say?

398
00:30:04.880 --> 00:30:08.559
Is it is Trump the savior?
Or is there another possibility? I

399
00:30:08.640 --> 00:30:15.839
mean, this is the question.
Who else exists out there? Is it

400
00:30:15.000 --> 00:30:23.160
Rhonda Santis that could fight back against
the tsunami of woke crazy Marxists that are

401
00:30:23.279 --> 00:30:30.640
destroying us from within? And is
only one man one person? Is there

402
00:30:30.720 --> 00:30:33.720
only one man or one person that
can do it? Now, we can

403
00:30:33.759 --> 00:30:38.400
talk about movements, and you always
resort to you know, it needs to

404
00:30:38.519 --> 00:30:42.720
come back to our local communities.
You know, our city council. You

405
00:30:42.839 --> 00:30:48.680
always say, go to the you
know, the go go to the education

406
00:30:48.799 --> 00:30:52.519
board, and you know county commissions
and your state reps and all that you

407
00:30:52.599 --> 00:30:59.160
know and and and do it locally. I think from a national perspective,

408
00:30:59.799 --> 00:31:03.240
I mean, there's part of me
that wants to see Trump go away,

409
00:31:03.599 --> 00:31:07.920
and there's a part of me and
I think I think we all have this

410
00:31:08.039 --> 00:31:11.960
split personality regarding Donald Trump. He
makes me cringe, he makes me angry.

411
00:31:12.039 --> 00:31:15.759
I'm so frustrated with him because of
the way that why are you calling

412
00:31:15.880 --> 00:31:19.400
him die sactimonious? What is it
with the sixth grade that worked in twenty

413
00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:23.319
fifteen, because nobody ever done that
before. People are sick and tired of

414
00:31:23.400 --> 00:31:29.319
it. Now. We just want
somebody to stand up and do what is

415
00:31:29.400 --> 00:31:36.079
right for this country and fight back
against this this Germanic horde of wokeists and

416
00:31:36.279 --> 00:31:40.240
you know, the Germanic horde destroyed
from destroyed Rome, and this is what's

417
00:31:40.279 --> 00:31:42.680
happening to the United States in twenty
twenty three. Nice to have someone that

418
00:31:42.720 --> 00:31:48.039
could do that without all the bomb
best. We just want we just and

419
00:31:48.160 --> 00:31:52.599
so I understand Goope saying we just
want normal. The problem is with Goope,

420
00:31:53.519 --> 00:31:56.720
you know, is it's the Party
of Paul Ryan. They're not going

421
00:31:56.799 --> 00:32:00.000
to do anything. They're just gonna
go along to get along, and they

422
00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:07.920
will allow maybe the rot from within
to not happen as fast as the Democrats

423
00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:13.359
want, but it still happens.
That's not a solution. Rights as witness.

424
00:32:13.440 --> 00:32:15.240
So maybe maybe you need somebody to
come in and just throw a bomb

425
00:32:15.319 --> 00:32:21.480
into the system metaphorically speaking. Yes. Well, and just just yesterday we

426
00:32:21.559 --> 00:32:25.559
talked about the fact that they were
Republicans that that voted against the censor for

427
00:32:25.640 --> 00:32:32.160
Adam Schiff, which makes that's inexplicable
when the guy has well, I mean

428
00:32:32.200 --> 00:32:36.960
he slept with with a giant with
a spy, and he's put he's a

429
00:32:37.079 --> 00:32:40.759
perpetrated the Russian that was that was
swallow. I'm sorry, yes, okay,

430
00:32:40.839 --> 00:32:45.599
yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
Shift was a pathological liar apply to

431
00:32:45.680 --> 00:32:49.240
America for six years. Yeah yeah. And yet we couldn't get all of

432
00:32:49.279 --> 00:32:52.000
our guys to say, you know
what, that shouldn't happen, We're gonna

433
00:32:52.000 --> 00:32:58.359
censor him. I think what that
was, um twenty yes, you're correct,

434
00:32:58.440 --> 00:33:07.000
twenty Republicans voted against censoring Adam Schiff
because what was tied to that bill

435
00:33:07.920 --> 00:33:14.680
was half of the cost of the
Muller investigations. So it was something like

436
00:33:15.839 --> 00:33:17.160
they were going to say, you
know, oh, by the way,

437
00:33:17.200 --> 00:33:22.680
you must pay thirty one million dollars
as well, and we're gonna find you

438
00:33:22.960 --> 00:33:28.599
half of the Muller costa, which
which is I don't know. I mean,

439
00:33:28.799 --> 00:33:34.160
you know that's that's not gonna that's
not gonna fly. So that it

440
00:33:34.359 --> 00:33:39.960
was a poison pill. And I'm
hearing that they are going to um they're

441
00:33:40.039 --> 00:33:45.920
going to resubmit that for a vote
next week without the fine. Okay,

442
00:33:46.160 --> 00:33:50.720
yep, from your lips to God
here those twenty Republicans do with that now?

443
00:33:50.839 --> 00:33:53.960
Yeah, yeah, yeah, another
subject as we were kind of running

444
00:33:54.000 --> 00:33:58.440
low on time, but we didn't
touch on this last night. Victor Davis

445
00:33:58.480 --> 00:34:00.319
Hanson, we both have interviewed and
talked to. He's a great guy.

446
00:34:00.799 --> 00:34:04.839
I had a piece, yes or
a few days ago on the fact that

447
00:34:04.920 --> 00:34:07.400
we're hearing some of the most brazen
nuclear threats from Russia that we've heard in

448
00:34:07.440 --> 00:34:12.800
the last sixty years as a result
of what's happening in Ukraine. Meanwhile,

449
00:34:12.880 --> 00:34:16.920
China is increasingly emboldened, all of
which underscores the fact that when America projects

450
00:34:17.079 --> 00:34:22.280
weakness, our adversary has become very
active. Indeed, do you have any

451
00:34:22.320 --> 00:34:23.599
thoughts on how this is all playing
out right now? Well? I know

452
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:27.199
our Secretary of State, I think
it is going to head to China for

453
00:34:27.320 --> 00:34:31.079
some more be rating. Do you
feel as amos or as worried about this

454
00:34:31.159 --> 00:34:35.960
as I do? Yeah, Listen, does it keep me up at night?

455
00:34:36.159 --> 00:34:39.159
I've gotten to an age where I
realize that there are certain things I

456
00:34:39.199 --> 00:34:42.639
can't control, earthquakes. I'm not
going to stay up all night and worry

457
00:34:42.679 --> 00:34:45.400
about it. We're of a certain
age where we grew up in the age

458
00:34:45.440 --> 00:34:50.039
of the day after right, I
mean we you know, I remember in

459
00:34:50.119 --> 00:34:52.199
high school they literally told us that
we need to get under our desk for

460
00:34:52.400 --> 00:34:57.480
nuclear drill. Okay, I mean
it's laughable when you think about it today

461
00:34:57.840 --> 00:35:02.840
forty years later. But the thing
is is that the idea of a nuclear

462
00:35:04.079 --> 00:35:12.239
war being started by Russia, I
don't think is going to happen. Maybe

463
00:35:12.320 --> 00:35:19.559
it's more hope because well, it's
it's over. I mean, it's it's

464
00:35:19.760 --> 00:35:23.239
all of Eastern Europe and Russia is
going to be turned into a parking lot.

465
00:35:24.280 --> 00:35:31.000
Um. What I do worry about
more than the geopolitics of that discussion.

466
00:35:31.159 --> 00:35:40.800
Dave is a rogue person in Russia
flipping the button, and you know,

467
00:35:40.920 --> 00:35:45.519
maybe Russia is losing against Ukraine.
I don't know. Maybe they lose

468
00:35:45.559 --> 00:35:51.719
a city and you get an angry
rogue soldier in Russia that has the ability

469
00:35:52.000 --> 00:35:58.199
to start World War three. I
think that's probably more likely than Houtin deciding

470
00:35:58.280 --> 00:36:01.719
to you know, mutually sort of
short instruction. Yeah, and then you

471
00:36:01.760 --> 00:36:06.159
add China to that. I do
it, just it worried. I'm like

472
00:36:06.280 --> 00:36:07.400
you. I mean, I'm at
the same age. I'm the one with

473
00:36:07.440 --> 00:36:15.800
the white beard here. But um, I I weakness. Weakness begets aggression.

474
00:36:15.880 --> 00:36:20.119
That's all he is to it.
So um Okay, So last question

475
00:36:20.719 --> 00:36:23.840
before before we call the suicide hotlind
we talked how more abid the future looks

476
00:36:24.000 --> 00:36:29.320
at this point? Okay, and
anywhere anyway? Do you see a glimmer

477
00:36:29.400 --> 00:36:32.639
of hope out there or at least
to stall what's happening for a while,

478
00:36:34.280 --> 00:36:38.360
or in my mind, we can
perhaps slow the pace of the descent.

479
00:36:39.199 --> 00:36:43.559
But I may be a pessimist.
So are you a pep pessimist? Optimist?

480
00:36:45.480 --> 00:36:47.599
We're whiskey? Maybe? Well,
I've always been here. We need

481
00:36:47.639 --> 00:36:52.360
more whiskey. I've always been a
half full person. I'm the e turnal

482
00:36:52.440 --> 00:36:55.599
optimist. But maybe it's just my
age. You know, it's the Clintist

483
00:36:55.599 --> 00:37:01.119
Wood in me right now that I'm
becoming I hate to say this, maybe

484
00:37:01.159 --> 00:37:05.639
saying it out loud is weird.
I'm becoming slightly apathetic at this point.

485
00:37:06.559 --> 00:37:14.880
I'm so disillusioned with everybody. I'm
so disappointed with everybody. And remember when

486
00:37:14.920 --> 00:37:19.280
we were kids and we looked at
adults, especially politicians like Ronald Reagan and

487
00:37:19.360 --> 00:37:22.119
Knows, and we thought they're the
adults, they know what they're doing.

488
00:37:22.599 --> 00:37:25.079
And then all of a sudden,
you hit twenty five and you're thirty and

489
00:37:25.199 --> 00:37:30.400
thirty five and you're looking around going, yeah, no, they didn't crazy.

490
00:37:30.000 --> 00:37:34.280
And now in my fifties, you
know, well into my fifties,

491
00:37:34.360 --> 00:37:40.239
now I've gotten to a point where, you know, I've just shaking my

492
00:37:40.400 --> 00:37:51.000
head and marveling at them, the
ostentatious nature of how they don't care.

493
00:37:51.960 --> 00:37:58.679
They don't care how they appear.
They just want to get their crazy way

494
00:37:59.400 --> 00:38:04.119
and there using the institutions and the
power all across the board, and they're

495
00:38:04.199 --> 00:38:09.400
getting it. So to answer your
question, I think, you know,

496
00:38:09.960 --> 00:38:15.079
you get to a point where enough
people rise up and say enough is enough?

497
00:38:15.920 --> 00:38:22.000
Or are we sleeping our way through
this life being fed you know,

498
00:38:22.239 --> 00:38:25.679
like the Wally movie where people are
getting fat and sitting in a chair and

499
00:38:25.760 --> 00:38:30.400
watching TV and getting fed intravenously.
You know, to me to bring it

500
00:38:30.480 --> 00:38:34.400
back to Rome, to bring it
back to Rome as bread and circuses as

501
00:38:34.440 --> 00:38:39.760
a distraction. Yeah, and Rome
fell. You're not every empire falls,

502
00:38:42.000 --> 00:38:45.199
every empire, Turkey Constant. I
mean, you can go back through history.

503
00:38:45.800 --> 00:38:51.480
Is it our time now? I
don't know, but it's it certainly

504
00:38:51.519 --> 00:38:53.920
feels like hours late. Yeah,
And I'm getting like you. My girlfriend

505
00:38:54.320 --> 00:39:00.320
will Is routinely reach the headlines and
she'll show me little stories head lines on

506
00:39:00.400 --> 00:39:02.199
their phone, and I look at
it and I feel guilty for doing it.

507
00:39:02.280 --> 00:39:07.000
But at times I just chuckle because
it is the Hubris is amazing,

508
00:39:07.119 --> 00:39:12.599
as as you pointed out, and
the radical aspect of it is just mind

509
00:39:12.679 --> 00:39:15.360
boggling, and I can't help but
just chuckle and say, well, yeah,

510
00:39:15.360 --> 00:39:17.039
it's going to hell right now,
isn't it. Look I said in

511
00:39:17.119 --> 00:39:21.679
twenty twenty, right after the election, and it's when I stopped my show,

512
00:39:21.920 --> 00:39:23.280
I stopped the pot I had a
TV show and I had the podcast

513
00:39:23.360 --> 00:39:28.400
with you over at Rick Chay and
I gave a speech and it was my

514
00:39:28.519 --> 00:39:35.199
last speech that I've given publicly.
It was to a Republican big group and

515
00:39:35.239 --> 00:39:37.519
it was doing the whole controversy regarding
you know, the election. It was

516
00:39:37.559 --> 00:39:43.639
before January the sixth, and I
said to the U. The organizer said,

517
00:39:43.679 --> 00:39:45.760
we must have you back. We
want to have you back a Zarkino

518
00:39:45.880 --> 00:39:49.199
for our may you know, gala
dinner once a year. And I said,

519
00:39:49.199 --> 00:39:51.320
I would love to thank you.
There was money involved, and I

520
00:39:51.360 --> 00:39:54.039
said, I'm not doing it anymore. I said, what just took place?

521
00:39:54.360 --> 00:39:58.280
I've been saying and you and I
talked about it all of twenty twenty

522
00:39:58.599 --> 00:40:00.920
many different shows. You can on
the radio show. We talked about it

523
00:40:01.039 --> 00:40:05.960
in New York podcasts. And I
said, I don't trust the institution,

524
00:40:06.199 --> 00:40:10.639
and I don't trust the vote and
and and I mean, just just forget

525
00:40:10.679 --> 00:40:16.639
about the machines, forget about ballot
harvesting, forget about vote to harvesting and

526
00:40:16.719 --> 00:40:20.239
the drop boxes and all of that
stuff. Let's put all of that to

527
00:40:20.320 --> 00:40:22.760
the side. Mail and ballots and
everything. Let's put all of that to

528
00:40:22.880 --> 00:40:31.880
the side. The fact that they
prevented the Hunter Biden laptop from being discussed

529
00:40:32.079 --> 00:40:36.480
anywhere, And if you had the
temerity to say wait, wait a minute,

530
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:39.519
what about this on Twitter? You're
gone right, You're out, you

531
00:40:39.679 --> 00:40:45.559
are finished, You're canceled, and
they lie to us. Fifty one CIA

532
00:40:45.159 --> 00:40:49.880
you know officers that came out and
said, yeah, it's all Russian collusion.

533
00:40:49.920 --> 00:40:53.239
It's Russian. This information, it's
and seventeen percent of people that have

534
00:40:53.320 --> 00:40:55.639
been pulled. And this is a
multiple time poll, it's not just a

535
00:40:55.719 --> 00:41:00.920
one time poll. Seventeen something.
We'll acts between six and seve a voters

536
00:41:00.960 --> 00:41:07.239
said, yeah, if they knew
about that and and and Barisma and all

537
00:41:07.280 --> 00:41:10.840
of that collusion, I would have
voted for Trump. That's the election.

538
00:41:12.400 --> 00:41:15.840
They stole the election, Dave.
And if from there, I said,

539
00:41:16.320 --> 00:41:20.519
I can see where this is going. I need to go back and take

540
00:41:20.559 --> 00:41:22.519
care of my kids, my family, my business, and do what I

541
00:41:22.639 --> 00:41:25.960
do and keep my toe in the
water with the radios. Right, Yeah,

542
00:41:27.000 --> 00:41:30.119
I got it. I got it. Um Okay, So I'm running

543
00:41:30.159 --> 00:41:35.480
out of time on the zoom call
anyway, um Man, I appreciate you,

544
00:41:35.519 --> 00:41:37.880
Habe, you being here. We'll
have to do this again. Not

545
00:41:37.000 --> 00:41:39.719
a problem, and you could always
do another call. That's that's a good

546
00:41:39.719 --> 00:41:43.320
point. We'll look into that.
I'm gonna just join the thing, so

547
00:41:43.360 --> 00:41:45.559
I don't have to worry about these
time limits. It's the first time I

548
00:41:45.639 --> 00:41:46.880
have to shoot with this. But
I kind of like the kind of like

549
00:41:47.000 --> 00:41:51.599
the other software. Z. Yeah, I used it for whiskey. It's

550
00:41:51.679 --> 00:41:53.800
it's it's really easy. Yeah,
it's totally easy. And uh and yeah,

551
00:41:53.960 --> 00:42:01.440
get a I think you can get
a relatively expensive monthly so I'm pretty

552
00:42:01.480 --> 00:42:05.719
sure I will which is which is
unlimited and you can store and everything to

553
00:42:05.800 --> 00:42:08.079
the clouds. So awesome, doctor
Dave. Thank you, sir. It's

554
00:42:08.119 --> 00:42:13.199
been an honor, you know,
thank you for aliding me event Uh and

555
00:42:13.440 --> 00:42:16.199
you were fantastic last night. And
uh, it's it's always having you know,

556
00:42:16.480 --> 00:42:21.400
having you on the show is a
breath of fresh air. Because here's

557
00:42:21.440 --> 00:42:22.920
the real quick thing about you,
Dave. If your listeners I'm sure they

558
00:42:22.920 --> 00:42:29.599
already know us you you bring the
facts of the day, the topics that

559
00:42:29.880 --> 00:42:36.840
make everybody cringe and just so angry, and the humor and the down home

560
00:42:37.440 --> 00:42:39.800
aspect that you have to it.
You kind of like Mark Twain of radio.

561
00:42:40.679 --> 00:42:45.079
And I'm going to be a good
makes me feel good listening to you

562
00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:49.079
because you're talking about the stuff that
we all worry about. And then I

563
00:42:49.280 --> 00:42:52.320
let's stop. You end your show, and I think it's not so bad.

564
00:42:52.480 --> 00:42:53.920
We've got Dave Carter. Thank you, good sir for what you do.

565
00:42:54.239 --> 00:42:58.119

584
00:44:53.039 --> 00:45:01.519
Dran Jean Pierre Treasurer. God say
the Queen Man, and that was

585
00:45:01.599 --> 00:45:07.119
Joe Biden or a depiction of old
Joe as a stammering, stuttering, incoherent

586
00:45:07.280 --> 00:45:14.880
mess. It was a questionable taste, I'll repute pernicious tone and no pretty

587
00:45:14.880 --> 00:45:22.960
accurate. Please allow me to introduce
myself. I'm a man well and taste.

588

Please to meet you. Hold me
this Bidayu Steve Carter. All right,

589
00:45:53.400 --> 00:45:57.519
boys and girls. Now, back
in the nineteen nineties when I was

590
00:45:57.559 --> 00:46:00.199
doing a radio show out of Goldsboro, North Carolin, I know, and

591
00:46:00.440 --> 00:46:04.639
it was a mix of talk a
little music, much like what I do

592
00:46:04.840 --> 00:46:08.400
here on the podcast, and humor
was essential to what we did back then.

593
00:46:08.880 --> 00:46:13.360
The trick Or said, I was
active duty at the time, so

594
00:46:13.519 --> 00:46:16.440
while I didn't identify myself as an
active duty member on the air, I

595
00:46:16.559 --> 00:46:22.039
nevertheless kept my personal politics out of
discussion, and what I did insteads make

596
00:46:22.119 --> 00:46:25.760
fun of both sides of the aisle. We took no prisoners anywhere, and

597
00:46:25.960 --> 00:46:31.679
everything and everyone was essentially fair game, most of all the host. Well,

598
00:46:31.719 --> 00:46:34.719
the only thing that has changed now
is that I don't have to keep

599
00:46:34.760 --> 00:46:39.559
my opinions close to the best you
understand. So while you'll occasionally hear discussions

600
00:46:39.599 --> 00:46:43.559
like the one I had a few
minutes ago with my friend Whiskey Dave,

601
00:46:43.760 --> 00:46:47.880
where we comment on the absolute insanity
that now passes for public policy, the

602
00:46:49.000 --> 00:46:52.119
one recourse that I still have in
my disposal is a sense of humor,

603
00:46:52.800 --> 00:46:57.079
and on this program, we will
employ that with a mischievous grin, and

604
00:46:57.320 --> 00:47:01.760
anyone and everyone will be fair game, most of all including the host as

605
00:47:01.840 --> 00:47:10.239
usual. Now, if you've had
fun here, and I hope you have,

606
00:47:10.960 --> 00:47:14.760
I would encourage you to look at
the various other offerings that you'll find

607
00:47:14.800 --> 00:47:20.440
on the Ricochet Audio Network, from
commentary magazine show to former Secretary of Education

608
00:47:20.519 --> 00:47:24.519
Bill Bennett's program Byron York, a
stellar reporter and an analyst, has his

609
00:47:24.639 --> 00:47:30.039
own program and there's more and less
not forget Please the Ricochet flagship podcast where

610
00:47:30.079 --> 00:47:34.920
Peter Robinson, rob Log and James
Lilacs engage with some of the most interesting

611
00:47:35.039 --> 00:47:39.159
newsmakers and the most interesting minds and
analysts that are out there. And I

612
00:47:39.239 --> 00:47:44.599
understand by the way that some changes
will be coming to Ricochet to the site

613
00:47:44.679 --> 00:47:47.159
in the next few weeks, and
of course you can read about that those

614
00:47:47.239 --> 00:47:52.599
changes as they unfold on Ricochet and
we'll probably be discussing them on this program

615
00:47:52.760 --> 00:47:58.960
as well. And keep your eye
out for future editions of this show as

616
00:47:59.000 --> 00:48:02.639
they're going to be broadening the list
and topics guests. It's going to be

617
00:48:02.719 --> 00:48:09.800
really interesting. For example, if
you've ever watched these paranormal investigations on television

618
00:48:10.360 --> 00:48:15.280
where these folks go into a house
or a facility that's had some occurrences of

619
00:48:15.400 --> 00:48:19.679
the paranormal somehow, and they take
various devices with them that allow them to

620
00:48:20.119 --> 00:48:23.360
communicate and actually track these spirits or
what have you. Well, for the

621
00:48:23.400 --> 00:48:27.960
first time in my life, I
now live in an older residence that's actually

622
00:48:28.039 --> 00:48:31.239
had some of that kind of activity, and I've experienced it here along with

623
00:48:31.360 --> 00:48:35.880
Becky. It's been interesting. Lights
go on and off and kind of weird

624
00:48:36.000 --> 00:48:39.119
things happen. As it turns out. I know some folks locally, one

625
00:48:39.159 --> 00:48:43.199
of whom has been a dear friend
for many years, who conduct those kinds

626
00:48:43.199 --> 00:48:47.320
of investigations. We're going to have
them look around the house here and then

627
00:48:47.320 --> 00:48:52.280
we're going to do an in studio
podcast here in the house with these investigators,

628
00:48:52.679 --> 00:49:01.920
so that'll be coming up soon.
Also, I've been in communication with

629
00:49:02.000 --> 00:49:07.119
a remarkable lady who's a musician down
in New Orleans. She's she's from New

630
00:49:07.239 --> 00:49:12.480
Orleans originally, and she's also a
classically trained clarinetist. She returned home and

631
00:49:12.559 --> 00:49:15.800
now Grace is the French Quarter with
her music on a regular basis. She's

632
00:49:15.800 --> 00:49:22.719
an amazing entertainer, an unbelievable musician, and she's sought after across the country.

633
00:49:22.719 --> 00:49:25.400
She's been on Jimmy Kimmel and it's
one of the things. So she's

634
00:49:25.440 --> 00:49:29.760
about as personable and graceful a lady
as you could ever hope to meet.

635
00:49:29.800 --> 00:49:34.320
And she'll be appearing here on the
show at a later date. There's a

636
00:49:34.360 --> 00:49:40.800
lot of good things in the works. So with that The best part of

637
00:49:40.840 --> 00:49:44.880
it, as always, is the
privilege that I have of opening the mic

638
00:49:44.960 --> 00:49:47.800
here and talking with you. There'll
be a lot of chances for us to

639
00:49:47.880 --> 00:49:52.239
chat and discuss and learn to laugh. So with thanks to Whiskey Dave and

640
