00:01 I let's go to the phones and talk to Scott from Westminster. How you doing, Scott? Hey, Charlie, how you doing? I'm doing good. First, want to good. Good. First, I want to thank you for everything you're doing and thank you and kind of well, kind of helping people just kind of bringing some of this stuff to light. mean, it's it's nothing that a lot of us would do would hear about otherwise. But I got a. uh 00:25 a newspaper, it was a little newspaper from RomReady in the mail the other day called the ready room. I'm sure most everybody else got it too. But I was wondering what you thought about it. When I read that, I thought this guy sounds a lot, a lot like Donald Trump in the sense that he owes nobody anything. He doesn't owe anybody anything. He's not taking donations. So I'm thinking there's not going to be any. 00:50 back room deals or any sc scratch yours. And that's think. And I was wondering the, did you get one and read read it though. But here's just, I mean, Rom radio who just kind of came out of all a sudden he's runn of South Carolina and the 01:16 I mean, I'll give you for instance, how did he make his money? 01:22 uh... well my i'm i assume it was from the uh... businesses that he started and i got a really bad the astroturf business or the other art is a way it was terp is in the turf breaks but this is the just so much about rom ready that that i just i really don't know now i will admit he says a lot of good things but he was he going to be the guy that goes in and actually fights for those good things 01:49 You know what mean? No, I know what you mean. like you said, if we don't know enough about him, I guess at this point to know if he would do that. But he sure sounds good. And the thing I like most is the fact that ah he's in nobody's back pocket. I mean, he's, you know, we won't have the shenanigans going on with these deals that, you know, with that, that just never get done or, and I don't know. And I don't know. 02:19 how he feels about, well, I know he donated, didn't he donate a million dollars to President Trump? He donated a million dollars to Trump. He and Scott Bessent were the two that donated a million. He is said, he said on our governor series that he was going to put $10 million of his own money into um this campaign. Wow. So, yeah. Well, that's, I mean, and again, that sounds a lot like, like Donald Trump, but you're right. mean, I guess we don't know enough about him, but 02:49 He sure sounds better than the other candidates at this point to me anyways. Well, there you go. Well, coming up on Tuesday, you're going to have to vote. I appreciate it, Scott. Thank you. Somebody said, I wonder if it's the same AstroTurf business they proposed all the money for in all the schools of South Carolina a couple of years ago. Remember that all the athletic fields had to be AstroTurf. Let's go to Janice in Gastonia. Janice, welcome. How are you? I'm doing fine, Charlie. I'm sitting here reeling over that commercial that was again 03:18 the lynch for Lindsey Graham. Yeah. Yeah. About all the comments on there. I just wanted to point out, I know that Trump is endorsing Lindsey and he's endorsing, I can't remember her name, but the A.G. for governor. Yeah. But you got to think of it this way. The American citizens are the stockholders of this country. He's depended on the stockholders being informed and making decisions too. And that's his cushion to say his 03:49 the grace regarding these two candidates. Yeah, we've got, we had to make a back door deal. He's believing that the constituents of South Carolina are to vote for who they think is best if they show up to vote. Yeah, you're right. And I think they will. I think I appreciate it. Janice, thank you very much. Lots of people asking me who I'm voting for. I tell you who I'm not voting for. I'm not voting for Lindsey Graham.
