00:00 And a very uh good afternoon to you. Hope you had a fantastic weekend. Thank you for joining us right here on the program. Well, as you just heard, our governor series is going to continue this afternoon coming up at four o'clock. We're going to be speaking with Fifth District Congressman Ralph Norman about his bid to be the next governor of South Carolina. Now, this is going to be an important race. It really is. Because we've got so 00:29 much to do here in South Carolina. And I know it's crazy because everything that we have to do, listen, I want you to listen to this. Everything that we need to do here in South Carolina. 00:46 should have already been done. Everything should have been done by now. We should have had funding for roads. should have had funding for infrastructure. should have all of this stuff. Every remember most of the things that these people in the state legislature are running for. When they come glad handing you asking for your vote, why don't you ask them? Why haven't you done this before? 01:18 Why, yeah, I'm state representative, Fawkes and Mouth, and I'm going to do something about our roads. Well, hell, you've been in Columbia for 30 years. Why haven't you done something about them yet? That's what I want to know. You've known that our bridges were absolute garbage for at least a decade now. Why haven't you, why didn't you do it? No, no, no, no, no, can't do that. Can't do that. 01:45 That doesn't satisfy our Democrat overlords, which is what they have. And that's the only way you can explain it. Democrat overlords is what these rhinos have in Columbia. That would not make them happy. A well-run state would not make them happy. They're more in the line of, let's have a whole lot of chaos and let's do all of this spending $330 million in earmark. 02:15 They built, well I don't know if they're building them, but at very least they're buying them. 02:24 They're buying dwellings. I don't know if they're homes. I don't know if they're cabins. I don't know what they are. But they're dwellings so that tired artists can take a rest. Oh, I can't wait. My wife's an artist. My wife is tired. We're gonna go, I wanna see what this is like. And when I do, I'm gonna live stream it. 02:53 I want you to I want to put in the application. We're going to find out where these things are and we're going to go and my wife is going to have a rest. Literally. That's crazy. 03:08 Wait a minute, hold on. Where are the restful destination for talk show host? Can I be considered an artist? Can I please? What about you? You folks who work at BMW. You folks who work anywhere in the upstate. Do you get a special place that you can go and rest? No, but the artist, Charlie. Oh, Charlie. 03:38 We've got to think about the artist, Charlie. It's the artist. That's what we got to think about. Well, that was that was something like three million dollars. Ridiculous. Let's go to John in Spartanburg and talk to him. John, welcome. Hey, Charlie, how doing? I'm great, bud. What's up?
