Hour 1

00:00 And welcome to the program on your Tuesday afternoon. is primary day. You all know that. Boy, I tell you, months ago, we never thought it would get here. We'll talk about that in just a second. But right now, the jury has reached a verdict in the um Carmelo Anthony stabbing trial in McKinney, Texas, there at the courthouse in McKinney, Texas. uh We do not know what the verdict is just yet, but we are hearing 00:29 Now remember, they left yesterday, everything wrapped up. Yesterday, and that was a lot quicker than I thought was going to happen, they came back, reconvened today, this morning, and here we are at 3.06, and we've already got a verdict. That usually means a very quick guilty verdict, least as far as I have been able to determine throughout the years. When a jury comes back, 00:58 that quickly, then it's unanimous and it's usually not good for the defendant. as soon as we know what the verdict is, we will certainly bring that along to you. I got this just a couple of seconds ago from the um Common Sense Retirement Planning Text Line. Charlie, my husband and I just voted. I wanted to say thank you for having the candidates on as often as you did. This is the most prepared slash confident 01:28 I've ever felt voting in the midterms, y'all are awesome. Well, thank you so very much. We really appreciate that. We've worked hard to get all of these folks on there for you because that's exactly what we wanted you to be. When you went to the polling place today, when you went into that voting booth, we wanted you to know, give you all of the information that we possibly could about all of these candidates. And, you know, hopefully we did a good enough job. 01:58 Hopefully people out there will make the right decisions today, but we are hearing some other things. um We've got Gerald is saying, Charlie, the turnout in Cherokee County, very poor for the election. uh So there we go. So anyway, ah pretty amazing. Pretty amazing. Today's the day. I'll be honest with you, Sheila and I voted on Thursday. We wouldn't voted on Thursday. And I got up this morning and I was like, man, 02:29 It kind of took all the excitement out of it for me. It really did. But then when the rain came, I was like, man, I'm glad we went out there and early voted because it was raining cats and dogs at our place. um And I hope that did not keep you from getting out there and voting today because this is extremely important. It truly is. Polls close at seven o'clock tonight. Do not forget we are going to be having the watch party at the foundry at Judson Mill. 02:56 That's going to be going on from 7 until 10. I'm going to get off the show here, make my way over to uh the foundry at Judson Mill. Tara will be there. Joey Hudson will be there. Bill Frady will be there. The whole gang, Dr. Orrin Smith is going to be there. What an amazing guy he is. We've got a great panel lined up for you this evening to bring you all of these uh election returns as they come in. And see, we're not like California. 03:25 We can do something California can't do. We can count our votes and we can do it quickly because nobody here is really trying to cheat. Now California, we know that's exactly what they're trying to do. They're giving them three more weeks, three more weeks to count these votes. Charlie, my 17 year old got to vote today for the first time. Can you vote at 17 if you will be 18 before the general, another vote against Gloria. 03:55 Yes, as a matter of fact, you can. As a of fact, you can. Charlie, I agree with that statement. Y'all did great with the interviews and the whole WORD team. Thank you very much. You are very welcome, because we know how important it is. We really do. So we can either have some sort of a change in South Carolina, or we can keep going with the same old same old. And folks, I don't know about you, but I don't like the same old same old. 04:24 Well, confession went down to the low country this weekend. ...
