00:00 All right, let's go. The phones are gonna talk to Dave in Spartanburg. How you doing, Dave? 00:08 Good good. 00:12 Yeah. 00:16 She must be in it. She must live in a different universe. Because she talked about things. I'm going do all these regulations. She was there for eight years. Did she do anything? She divorced herself for anything that did happen. But she was there for eight years. She made it clear. Well, I was there for eight years. What was her accomplish? Because it was zero. And to be fair, every time you try to approach a question, 00:43 She would call, wow, yeah, we'll work that. I'm going to talk to the representatives in the House and the Senate. We're going to work on all these. Really, what'd do for eight years? And that's one of the things that people have been asking about are all of these problems you're saying you're going to solve. You couldn't get in Henry McMaster's ear for the past eight years and get something done then. You couldn't work with the state legislature then? 01:18 Yeah. 01:28 teacher. 01:32 benefit. The great questions day. So oh who are you leaning for leaning toward right now as as governor. Okay, right, why did my day. don't like about that. That's why you got to put them up. I Dave I appreciate it, buddy. Thank you very much. Well, last night really proved something to a lot of people. That. 02:02 You know when you move into a new house? 02:06 Got all the boxes in there, the paper everywhere, everything seems to be in little bit of disarray. Maybe a couple of things get broken. But pretty soon, because you have a plan. 02:19 All of a sudden you start putting everything in its place where it needs to be. You get rid of the stuff that you don't need. That's what Donald Trump is doing right now. That is what is happening. Hakeem Jeffries, he said this just a couple of nights ago and I just absolutely had to laugh. Here's Hakeem Jeffries. I guess part of how we as House Democrats view this moment, either mega extremists are going to break the country. 02:48 But we're gonna break them. And our goal is to break them. We will defeat them. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, uh, no. That ain't gonna happen. I'm just gonna tell you that. 03:02 The American people have, over the past couple of weeks, voted for Donald Trump and his initiatives. And this is one thing that I got to get through. If you could get through this through the skulls of those people in the House and the Senate. 03:19 We didn't vote for you. 03:26 Does that shock you? We didn't vote for you. You were just a byproduct, in a lot of cases, of our vote for Donald Trump. 03:41 And now a lot of these people are starting to realize it because they thought when Donald Trump got, you know, 312 electoral votes and the popular vote, all these people that got elected under Donald Trump, were like, man, look what we did. Oh boy, we, American people love us. They just love us. So we've got our own mandate. We're to get in there and do our own thing. Well, that's not actually turning out very well for these people. 04:11 Listen to what Kevin McCarthy said. We have up on the board for you the candidates that he has backed and those that have won and it looks you know to be like he is running the tables on this one. How do you score things for him and then overall for the midterms? Well the one thing I see is that he's the strongest president in a political party that I've seen in my entire lifetime. It's unheard of that you have a president even stronger than Ronald Reagan was. 04:41 Exactly right. Exactly right. And Thomas Massie found out last night. He found out last night. Cassidy, Bill Cassidy found out. And now what are we seeing? Bill Cassidy was among four Republican senators who voted in favor of a resolution that would direct President Trump to pull the military out of the conflict with Iran, reversing his vote. 05:10 because he's a petty individual. 05:14 We saw what happened in Indiana.
