00:05 i had a show the phones are taught to fill in campbell oh how you doing phil i'm good uh... let me add a step six of what you were talking about okay i'm you're heavily armed and more than happy to use it heavily armed and happy to go yet be exactly right what i want to call about and they set the stage okay 00:27 for just a minute if you don't mind. Let me set stage. Remember when Bill Clinton balanced the budget? Yes, I do. the money out of He stole the money out of it. So security... That's right. They raided it. I think you said about a month ago it came out they were looking at $10 billion, the crooks in Columbia, to build them a palace down there. Yeah. wanted to... Excuse me. They wanted to it out of the retirement system. Listen. 00:57 There's a lot of people in that police retirement, state retirement. Yeah. Those people put their life on the line every single day for 35 years. And I'm telling the boys in Columbia, you keep your grubby little hands in your pockets. If you reach out and touch this money, there's an army going to show up in Columbia and they ain't coming empty handed. They ain't carrying no damn roses. There you go. I agree, Phil. that's it. They figure all the money. 01:24 This is literally how they think in Columbia. All the money is their money. And it doesn't matter if it's your retirement, doesn't matter if it's your pension, doesn't matter. If it's money that they can get their hands on, then they're gonna get their hands on it. That seems to be their only goal in life, especially over in the Senate. 01:52 Now, Curtis Loftus explained how this works very eloquently. was at a dinner with him one night and he said, here's how it works. Because I asked him, said, how, if these people can't have access to that money and that money, they can't just take the money out to benefit themselves. How does that work? He said, let me tell you, let me tell you how that works. Let's say that you are a state senator and one of your jobs is to, or let's say you're a treasurer. 02:22 And one of your jobs is to say we got a fund in Columbia and in that fund is just four numbers here. It's a million dollar fund. It's got a million dollars in it and your job is to take that money and invest it. Do you know how many people come to you every single day and say, hey, Mr. Treasurer, ah I got a hedge fund over here. We were doing really well. We would love for you. 02:52 to give us the money in that fund and we will invest in our, we'll put it in our hedge fund and boy, you're gonna get a lot of great returns on that. Do you know how many people do that? A lot of people, it happens every day. So then you think, well, wait a minute, that money is still the state's money, how does that benefit the treasurer or whoever's in charge of that fund? Well, it goes like this. And by the way, if you, 03:21 invest in our fund, I've got a friend and that friend has a position open on their board of directors. It pays pretty well. You've got a son, don't you? You've got a daughter. You've got a wife or a husband. Would they like that seat on the board of directors? Why, yes, I would. Yes, they would. 03:51 Now it doesn't require any work. All they got to do is show up maybe once a quarter and vote however they want to vote. But you know, it pays pretty good. That's how it gets done. How it gets done every single day here in South Carolina. Every single day they're always hammering. are people, if there is money somewhere, somebody wants it. Somebody wants it because by the way, their fee for controlling those funds is pretty significant. Let's go to Larry in Cleveland County. Larry, welcome. 04:20 a car i don't know i'm good but what's going on and let me know what i to point out that will grow the way that was just here where they were there you know as a risk right did you hear that they let him off the hook because i'm confident that well uh... so here's what they're doing that taking this guy and ...
