00:00 I want to remind you again, make a calendar reminder for June 9th. That is primary day here in South Carolina. You need to get out and vote in the primaries. You got to do that. It's coming up quicker than you think. That is June 9th here in South Carolina, because in a lot of these cases, the person that wins the primaries goes on to win the general election. 00:30 All right, so I was kind of looking at who all is running for what here in South Carolina. And right now, since the filing deadline just ended yesterday, we don't have a full, complete list of everybody that's running here in South Carolina, but I can't, I hope this, I really do. I hope every single Rhino out there has a primary challenger. I hope they do. 01:00 and these things start to come in, we're gonna be giving them to you, you can root for them as well. I you might not be able to vote for them, but you'll certainly be able to help them with their campaign in some way. So I was looking today, I was like, I wanna see how much money some of these people have. And it's kinda hard to get the state level, but let's just say this disturbed me. 01:28 It shook me to my foundation. 01:33 when I saw this over there at the FEC website. 01:39 Democrats have outraged Republicans by almost $100 million. $100 million! Democrats have $316,284,064. Republicans have $219,857,485. 02:10 That's almost $100 million the Democrats have outraised the Republicans. 02:18 I don't know, maybe some folks out there are voting with their pocketbooks right now. So let's take a look at some of these. Of the top 10, of the top 10 candidates that are running for federal office, eight out of 10 are Democrats. Eight out of 10. Coming in at number one, far and away, ahead of everybody, 02:48 is John Ossoff over in Georgia. This guy has raised $63,937,894.20. I don't know who donated the 20 cents. 03:09 I'm gonna give you my two cents ten times. um Cory Booker has $30,106,000. Roy Cooper, North Carolina, coming in at number four with $21 million. Over in Texas, the crazy kid that's running, James Tellerico, 03:37 He comes in at number five with $20,694,000. James Tallarico has raised more money than John Cornyn and Ken Paxton combined. In fact, they've only raised about between John Cornyn and Ken Paxton. Let me see if I can find this here. Where is Cornyn here? I just had him up here. 04:06 ah Just a second ago, I think Cornyn has, hold on, where is he? I just had him here. He's raised about, I want to be accurate with this. So, just looking for him. 04:30 Anyway, he is raised twice as much. 04:35 as Ken Paxton. Ken Paxton raised little over $5 million, say $5.5 million. Oh, there we go. Ken Paxton, $5,857,000.76. Then you've got Cornyn coming in right around $11 million. And he's still losing in the polls. That's how sick and tired people are of John Cornyn. 05:05 But man, are people out there right now, are they so sick and tired of what's going on that they're voting with their pocketbooks? Charlie Sanford is running against Mace. How much does he have? No, he's not running against Mace. Mace is leaving that post. From what I understand, I may be wrong, but I thought Nancy Mace was saying, listen, I'm running for governor. 05:33 If I win, I win. If I don't win, I don't win. But I'm done with Congress. So, hey, Charlie, they probably got it from Minnesota at the Learing Center. You're exactly right. Well, Charlie, when you hear Ralph Norman, he's going he's doing a mega expensive campaign ads on Fox paid for by the House of Representatives in Colombia, meaning paid for by us. Why would we? No, not technically. Not technically. People donate to that pack. um Charlie, also has 63 million. 06:01 But does he have a bubble wand like Lindsay? No, not that I know of. I've never seen John Ossoff with a bubble wand like Lindsay. I don't know. uh Charlie, didn't we learn during Obama's time in office that those non-whole dollar donations amount are usua ...
