What this episode covers

00:01 All right, let's go. The phones are taught to Mike in Boiling Springs. How you doing, That's right. What's happening? I'm sorry. What? To get rid of Thune. I don't know. Have you heard anything? 00:31 five senators voting against him. And that would trigger another vote of 27 senators. Yeah, right. And they can throw him out. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, that's the standard way that vacating the chair happens. Yeah. That's way they can do it. But will they? But that's the thing. Will you be able to find 27 senators, the majority of them, to vote him out? Only 27? How many have we got? 00:59 It's got to come from the Republicans. I don't know if the Republicans in the Senate have the cojones to actually do that because remember once you go after the king you better not miss. I'm gonna have to double check. Well, 50. No, think we've got 53. I think it's 53.47. 01:26 I about 27 is not an impossible task. Not an impossible task, but I would say it would be tough. Now listen, I'm not saying I wouldn't like to see it done. Hell, give it a shot. Let's see if it happens. Because we've got a logjam right now that's got to be broken. Yeah, right. It's really stand for what's going on. I wish we could get something like that done. Mike, I appreciate it. We're just having a little trouble. I don't know if it's your phone or our phones. 01:53 We've had several calls like that this afternoon. Well, I you to listen to this. Secretary Brooke Rollins over there at the Department of Agriculture, I really like her. She was on with Laura Ingraham. I you to listen to what she said. Governor in America is saying fraud and abuse in the SNAP program, the food stamp program will end and please be our partner in this. 29 states responded. All but two were, of course, red states, Republican governors. 02:22 And they said, yes, we are in. And within that data dump, billions of pieces of data that we're now sharing with the states, we found 500,000 people getting more than one benefit illegally. We found 244,000 dead people. Laura, this is just the red states. In that time, we have now arrested, it's just the red states. We have now arrested 895 different people in the last year for illegally. 02:51 using the food stamp system and now of course we're talking about what is happening with that money so we're making a lot of progress of course the blue states are suing us to say that they don't have to share that data but the corruption is absolutely astounding the vice president has now leaned in with his fraud task force we are now on supercharge not that we weren't before but now we're really on warp speed to do everything we can in the next two and a half years to get this under control and to change it for good 03:19 Okay, well, you know all the so and that's and the reason that that and that's just in the red states. That's just in the red states because the red states are the only ones that are cooperating. Imagine how much fraud there is in the blue states. Let's go to Wayne in Greenwood. Wayne, welcome. Yes, I'd like to disagree with you on South Carolina redistricting. Okay. This reason. Okay. I am willing to give the Democrats their token black majority district. 03:48 long as it pretty well assures the other six remain Republican. And I believe that if we are redistricted, there is a chance we could end up with two Democrat seats and not one. It is not a sure thing. And it depends a lot of times on what kind of a candidate you've got. I mean, look at Herschel Walker in Georgia senatorial race. Poor candidate. Look at that North Carolina governor's race in the last two years. The last time was a terrible candidate. 04:18 what could happen. I'm satisfied with quo. Yeah, as long as, oh I know it's heavily gerrymandered, but I say let's stick with the status quo in this case. No, I'm going to disagree with you, Wayne. I appreciate your call.
