00:02 All right, welcome back to the program. ah We have to go to this guy because he was attacked not only this morning on Terror's show when she interviewed Ron Reddy, but also during our Governor's series, Adam Morgan. Oh, wait a minute, hold on. Brian, I'm gonna put you back on hold. Let's go to Adam Morgan right now. Adam, welcome. Hey, Charlie, how you doing? You are a hack. You are a horrible person. uh bad guy. A bad guy. Oh, man. Yeah. 00:31 How did, what did you do to Rom Ready? Well, you know what I did? 00:37 Yeah. And he, you know, he's just losing his mind. I called him out over some just facts. Rom ready. Never showed up in the last eight years that I have been at the forefront of the conservative fight in this state. I founded the freedom caucus with other conservative members. We've led the fight on almost, I mean, Charlie, how many times have I been on your show and Tara show over the last six years on every major fight in this state? Right. Guess who? 01:06 never showed up for any of it. Never had a thought or input or opinion on any of it. Rom Ready. Guess what? I have no idea how Rom Ready made his money. I don't even know where he was born because he's not forthright about a whole lot of things. He's got a weird past. I don't trust him. I think he's a leadership plant. While we were starting the Freedom Caucus and Ralph Norman was literally helping me found it, Rom Ready was funding the Speaker of the House. He literally donated to the guy he uses. 01:36 the campaign consultant that was the speaker's campaign consultant who, know, they were doing all those attack ads and running races against Freedom Caucus members. And you know what really blew my mind? Because I just, this guy says stuff all the time that's just objectively false. He just said, not even 10 minutes ago, many members in the Freedom Caucus 02:00 are big supporters of mine. Did you hear him say that? did. I was sitting right next to him. three bad apples. You know what's crazy, Charlie? There's not a single Freedom Caucus member who has endorsed Rom Ready. Almost every one of them has endorsed Ralph Norman. And I would challenge any of you out there who know Freedom Caucus members, why don't you ask them, hey, who do you align more with, Adam Morgan or Rom Ready? And just see what they say. Because 02:29 We've actually fought together on these issues. We know who actually will back up and fight and who will all talk. And this guy that shows up out of nowhere who wants to buy the seat and tell everybody that he can't be bought and he did all this stuff when the facts just don't prove it. I he showed up, he swiped Elon Musk's brand, Doge, and not aligned with him at all. 02:54 made it Doge SC. Oh, I'm just like that out of nowhere says I never thought about running for governor. But then investigative reporters just blew that story up. What was it like a couple of weeks ago? The name of Doge SC was ready for governor back when he started it. He created an entity to trove voter data to then run for governor and tell everybody that he's the conservative. he quoted two different times in both interviews that I said he's a plant. 03:20 And absolutely, that is the one statement that he is very accurate on. I think he is a plant. He hired Merle Smith's campaign consultant. He's funded Henry McMaster and Merle Smith. He's just spent his time with you almost exclusively attacking the conservatives. Me, I'm a bad guy. Ralph Norman's the worst. Anybody's anti-establishment and had next to nothing really bad to say about the establishment figures. 03:48 And that's that's oh I literally tried to you did it. I tried. I tried to get Ron ready to actually point out and just like I've done with and I didn't do this exclusively with Ron ready Rob Rob Rom ready. I did this. I've done this with all the candidates. Tell us who the problem is in Columbia. And I have I have other than and I'll be honest with you other than Ralph Nor ...
