You are not being represented, whether you are Repub or Dem

What this episode covers

00:00 All right, let's go to the WRD talk live with Todd and Gerald and Kalpins. Gerald, welcome. Hey, Charlie, you know, it's time to form a torn feather party and put some of these crooks on that dusty trail to California. Yeah, I mean, I agree, man. I'm just sick and tired of all of this. I appreciate it, Gerald. Here's the thing, though. We are not being represented. 00:28 The American people, I don't care if you're a Republican or you're a Democrat, you are not being represented. When 86 % of the people agree with voter ID and agree with the statement that you should have to be an American to vote and prove that you're an American citizen to vote, 86 % agree with that and we've got a debate going on? That's not representation. And you can even... 00:59 Extend that to Columbia. 01:03 When these lawmakers are voting on bills that they have not even had an opportunity to read, that's not representation. Sorry, it's just not. That's ruling by fiat. That's all they're doing in Columbia, and they're ruling. They really are. 01:23 So today President Trump signed an executive order that will pay TSA agents. Now this is going to get complicated. It's going to get a little tricky. 01:35 because he has declared an emergency with our TSA agents and our airlines. Because of that emergency declaration, now the Office of Management and Budget, they can go in and they can get, you know, they can do a little creative accounting and they can find some money to pay the TSA agents. But from what we are hearing, this is going to include this paycheck 02:05 and back pay. 02:08 and possibly, I haven't read the memo yet, but possibly future pay as well. Now what this does, hey, it gets TSA agents back to work. It gets people stopping, you know, what they had, 11, 12, 13 % call-in rate, and you can't blame these people. They're like, you know what, I'm not going to work tomorrow because I gotta go find myself another job. 02:36 I can't blame the TSA agents. I really can't. I wish they would go to work. when I was on my trip just a few days ago, I told them, I said, man, thank you for coming to work. And everybody that I said that to just had this. It was a look of gratitude, but it was also a look of dejection. And I'm like, thank you. Thank you. At least somebody appreciates me, right? 03:03 So now what is going to happen is because what Donald Trump is doing is he's going in, he's cutting through all the clutter of Washington, D.C., and he's going to start paying these TSA agents. 03:19 the Democrats are going to Not only are the Democrats going to scream, 03:27 But I will promise you the Democrats are gonna sue. They're going to sue to stop Donald Trump from, and oh boy, you know, just, I just wonder if Trump sits back, you know, maybe a night, going, you know what I think I'm gonna do tomorrow? I think I'm gonna make the Democrats sue me because I'm paying the TSA agents. Melania, what do you think about that? I think it'd be a great idea. Let's get the Democrats to sue me. Yeah, you watch. 03:55 That's going to happen. Let's go to Doug in Simpsonville. Doug, what do you think? Hey, first of all, before I get to what I really wanted to talk about, I just wanted to express my, uh you know, my sympathy for the the uh near term, nearly nearly ball peen hammer thing yesterday. Yeah, good. Based on that, you know, I told you that I want to vote for a uh 04:25 gubernatorial candidate who will pledge to sign nothing until we have uh closed primaries. But now based on the ball, peen hammer thing, I want something else as well. I want the next governor to sign no legislation that doesn't have total transparency with the voter board exposed for every bit of legislation. We need a counter-bill. 04:54 Absolutely. I agree. You know, I've been trying to figure out John Thune and what's going on there and, you know, what's going to happen with the Save Act. And first of all, I don't believe the Save Act is enough.
