00:00 gotta tell you something, today, wide open. Today is absolutely wide open. Things are just, I mean, they're popping just left and right. This is happening, this is happening. It is crazy, y'all. We'll start off with what happened last night in Indiana. I don't know if there is a term. 00:23 for the mass slaughter of rhinos. I don't know if there's maybe rhinocide. I don't know if that's a thing. But last night in Indiana, it was absolute rhinocide. Donald Trump proving that he still got plenty of political capital. the seven races, incumbent state senators who had rejected the president's push five months ago. 00:51 to redraw the maps, all losing to Trump-backed challengers. Wow. Kevin McCarthy. I mean, that was huge. I mean, they just fell left and right last night. All of these rhinos that said, no, Mr. President, we're not going to redraw our state districts. We don't believe we need to, harumph. Well, Donald Trump said, let's see how you like this then, endorsed all of their opponents. 01:21 And last night, they just dropped a light fly. 01:26 Now we're hearing that Tennessee, they have released their new 2026 congressional map, zero Democrat districts. And for what we're hearing, there's going to be a vote, could be going on right now, not sure, about redistricting here in South Carolina. Because, I mean, this is a big deal. Yeah, it's only one district. It's only one district. But that's important. 01:56 because you never know. And like JJ just said, was it created fairly? Well, that would be no. It was not. was obviously, obviously gerrymandered. And we need to go address this. We have got an unconstitutional map in our state in the 6th Congressional District. 02:20 And that's the thing, it's unconstitutional. That's what happened in Louisiana versus Calais. They ruled that districts based on race were unconstitutional. Now we cannot have an unconstitutional district here in our state, can we? No, of course not. No. The redistricting resolution passed the South Carolina House Rules Committee. That was the first step. The full House apparently will vote on it 02:50 today. So if you need to, if you feel the need to, you need to get in touch with your state representative and tell them to vote for redistricting. Now, there's a state senator out there named Sean Bennett. Sean Bennett has said, well, basically he alluded to because his actual uh post was 03:19 So many sheep. So many sheep. So in other words, anybody, now this is a guy who's got a Freedom Index score of 29. 29. There are, I believe, five Democrat senators here in South Carolina with higher Freedom Index scores than Sean Bennett. Okay. Okay. So, 03:49 Baa! Sean Bennett, Baa! 03:54 See what happens. Because understand, what's the old saying say? I would rather be in an army of sheep led by a lion than an army of lions led by a sheep. I think Sean Benner is going to find out just how loud the sheep can get and just what happens when there's a sheep stampede. Of course, we're not sheep. He knows we're not sheep. He just wants to, he wants to, you know, try to dehumanize. 04:24 But look, what are we saying? 04:29 Sheep? Really? We gotta go that route? All right, that's fine. You've shown your true colors. We understand where you're coming from. 04:41 But like they say, you mess with the bull, you get the horn. So we'll see how the so-called sheep react here in South Carolina. So again, I guess Sean Bennett wasn't watching the news last night. I guess he wasn't paying attention. When one by one by one, these rhinos fell in Indiana. 05:09 And it was a glorious thing to watch. It truly was. It was fantastic. So I want to know what you guys think. WRD Talkline 800-9050-989. That's also the Common Center Retirement Planning Text Line. Charlie William Timmons was on with Joey Hudson this morning telling all to basically not pressure the redistricting. Well, why not? Well, I kind of thought it was different yesterday. 05:38 ...
