What this episode covers

00:00 Oh man, it's just been one of those days. Phone buzzing, people email, texting, Facebooking, Instagram and all that stuff today. Been a very busy day already. Haven't even started the show yet. Welcome to the program on your Wednesday afternoon. Don't forget coming up tomorrow, our Governor Series continues. We're going to have RomReady on with us. Joey Hudson and I will be uh talking to RomReady tomorrow at four o'clock. So you definitely... 00:28 need to tune in on that. All right, we were supposed to start the show off this afternoon with Attorney General Alan Wilson. We were going to be talking about the Murdoch trial and that press conference between where Dickar Poutlian and Jim Davis had just a couple of days ago. Well, we're going to postpone that until 3.30, hopefully, because right now the Attorney General is at the Gresset Building in Columbia. 00:57 and he is giving testimony about redistricting here in South Carolina. Yep, we'll talk a little bit more about this in the next segment, but last night the House passed the bill for these maps and now it is in the hands of the Senate. So we'll have that for you. A little bit more information coming up in just a couple of minutes. Well, President Trump had a very, very good night last night as far as his endorsements are concerned. 01:27 I mean, one of the most satisfying was Ratzberger in Georgia not making the runoff. Oh, that was glorious. That was glorious. But I know the big one that everybody was watching last night was Thomas Massey in the 4th District of Kentucky. A lot of people are like, oh, I like Thomas Massey. right. Well, oh, Thomas Massey's got a 99 % freedom score. Oh, yeah. But you know what? It's that vocal. 01:57 one percent. It's that that how can I put this the arrogance 02:06 1 % that made Thomas Massie basically persona non grata with a lot of conservatives out there. I this is the same guy that voted with the Democrats for the biggest tax hike in American history twice, voted with the Democrats to defund ICE, voted with the Democrats to keep the government shut down. I mean, Democrats depended 02:35 on Thomas Massey's And they got him from him. They got him. And now here's what he gives me because we know Thomas Massey's out there in the libertarian wing of the conservative party, conservative ideology. And now the libertarians are going, well, that's it. We're done. We're voting Democrat. Oh, well, that's brilliant. Just throw everything out the window because of this. 03:04 and let the Democrats win. Aha! That makes total sense to me. Total sense. I mean, this is a guy, Thomas Massey, who has an A-plus rating by the NIAC. uh 03:21 Do you know who the NIAC is? The National Iranian American Council. Now we were all upset over Henry McMaster uh calling last month National Iranian American Month here in South Carolina. But then you've got your candidate, only two Republicans, only two Republicans are on that list from the NIAC, which a lot of people say that's just the IRGC's 03:50 political wing. They're the ones over there pushing for Iranian ideology. So the two Republicans on this list, we've got 14 in the Senate and we've got 50 in the House. 04:07 Only two Democrats. I'm sorry, only two Republicans. Rand Paul and Thomas Massie. Those are the only two. They got an A-plus rating from the NIAC. So people are wondering, well, what's going on? And know a people are upset. Big Massie fans. But a lot of us out there aren't. Now, Harry Ensign over at CNN, I mean, he got it right. And he understands. 04:36 Exactly what's going on. Let's take a listen to Harry Inton over on CNN. is this Donald Trump is the general of the Republican Party and the Republican primary vote voters are his soldiers. And if you look at Thomas Massie, you can see it very clearly. You look in 2020, 2022, 2024, he was getting 75 % upwards of 81 % of the primary vote in 2020. And today he gets less than 50 % of the vote. That's the story. ...
