Transcript

SPEAKER_06 0:00

All right. What's a happening?

SPEAKER_04 0:03

Nothing. I blinked and the weekend was over.

SPEAKER_06 0:07

Yeah. What was about the melee with these biker types?

SPEAKER_04 0:11

I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 0:12

Was it a bike? Were they bikers? Were they actually bikers or were they want to be let me say let me just say this. What a bunch of trashy looking people. Can't say that. The melee with the cops? I can't say that. Like, girls, put your clothes on. You can't say that. What the heck?

SPEAKER_04 0:30

It's cosplay. I'm pretending to be a sexy biker this weekend.

SPEAKER_06 0:34

Well, I'm not talking like if you're in like the you know, in that area, that's fine. This is North Myrtle Beach. Like A, buy clothes that fit you. That's all I'm asking. Well, yeah, there is that.

unknown 0:48

Okay.

SPEAKER_06 0:49

That's number one. And B, if you're not wearing clothes that fit you, then don't get into a hair pulling fight. Because it is ugly. Girls, come on. Act like ladies.

SPEAKER_04 1:04

Those are fun.

SPEAKER_06 1:06

I don't know what to do when that happens in the city. And what? A cop got hurt during this?

SPEAKER_04 1:09

Well, here's what I have. This is I looked at a couple of different news sources, and they're not really telling us a whole lot, but this is about the most comprehensive. Multiple city police officers were injured. As several. Several disturbances broke out Saturday night.

SPEAKER_07 1:24

Oh, not just one.

SPEAKER_04 1:25

Right. Quote, while the vast majority of the attendees came to enjoy Bike Wick responsibly last night, officers, this is a Sunday response. Last night, meaning Saturday, officers responded to multiple disturbances involving fights and assaults associated with incidents in the bar area of Main Street, North Myrtle Beach said on its Facebook page yesterday, adding that several people were arrested. During these incidents, multiple officers sustained injuries while responding and taking enforcement action. One suffered, uh, one officer rather uh was transferred to medical uh eval for a medical evaluation and treatment and is expected to make a quick recovery. All of these injuries, from what I gather from all the different reports, minor. But they were injured, noting they occurred during the Myrtle Beach bike rally, but without specifying whether they were related. I'm gonna repeat that. They occurred during the bike rally, but they're not specifying whether they're related.

SPEAKER_06 2:23

That's what I was just saying to you. They didn't look like they were bikers. They look like they were just people opportunists. Cosplay? No. No?

SPEAKER_04 2:35

What do you mean?

SPEAKER_06 2:36

They don't even look like they were bikers.

SPEAKER_04 2:38

What do you okay?

SPEAKER_06 2:39

You know, like when you go to the bike rally, those people are pretty chill.

SPEAKER_04 2:43

Always. From what I've seen.

SPEAKER_06 2:45

They're these are not like bike rally, these are like opportunists.

SPEAKER_04 2:50

City officials said police maintained, quote, a strong presence throughout the event.

SPEAKER_06 2:54

I could be wrong.

SPEAKER_04 2:55

The department uh appreciates the overwhelming majority of the visitors and community members who celebrated responsibly and supported the efforts of law enforcement personnel working to keep the community safe. Police said all of this yesterday on social media.

SPEAKER_06 3:07

There you go. Boy, this guy, uh, this this mugshot is wow. He got a shiner beyond he I don't know what the other guy looked like, but he does not look like he won that fight. He is his eye is like twice the size of what it should be. Yeah, I don't know. Uh you know.

SPEAKER_04 3:30

I know.

SPEAKER_06 3:31

Yeah. But no shots fired. No. Yeah. So I guess um you gotta be happy about that, right?

SPEAKER_04 3:41

Yeah. Maybe it's just I mean people going to party because it's a party, and those are the people that lost their minds. Know what I mean? Like you said, not the actual individuals who were there on their motorcycles.

SPEAKER_06 3:57

Yeah. I'm just looking, I'm scrolling through all the videos. And um so does that mean all those bars are gonna get closed down now for nuisance?

SPEAKER_04 4:07

Uh I don't know. I didn't say anything about any specific uh establishment in the articles I saw.

SPEAKER_06 4:15

Are these people from this town?

SPEAKER_04 4:17

I don't know the answer to that either. Why don't you click on one of them?

SPEAKER_06 4:20

Well, I'm I'm clicking on them, but it doesn't say where they're from. It just has their their name and their mugshot.

SPEAKER_08 4:29

I'd have to pull up each and every one separately.

SPEAKER_06 4:33

So it's not good. Gosh, this guy has a whole Ori County mugshot. And his and his um I don't know if it's an AI picture or what, but his profile picture is of someone very interesting looking. Oh, okay. Um yeah.

SPEAKER_08 4:55

Let me see. Uh yeah.

SPEAKER_07 5:00

Oh, yeah.

SPEAKER_08 5:01

That guy, yeah, he really wow. That was rough.

SPEAKER_06 5:07

Um, listen to you. Jeez. I guess when you get arrested, it's not your best night. No. It's not a great day for a photo shoot. Generally not. Well, yeah.

SPEAKER_04 5:24

Then you just look like, really?

SPEAKER_06 5:26

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 5:26

Really? That's your best move.

SPEAKER_06 5:30

Um, yeah, some of these people scary look. Oh, some people I feel bad for them because they have like that sad look on their face. Or like, what did I just do? How did this happen? And then the other one, like some of them look like if they could kill the photographer, they would. That's what some of them look like. It's pretty scary actually. Yeah. Anyway. Um Wow. I'm looking to uh let's see here. But they fight the cop. Like, why are you fighting the cop that's pulling you off?

SPEAKER_04 6:05

I don't understand that either.

SPEAKER_06 6:07

Like stop. Why are the cops getting hurt?

SPEAKER_04 6:11

Oh, here's something else too. Uh social media is a funny little animal. They take an incident and then blow it way out of proportion to the point where it's just out of control. Okay. And it's unfortunate. Uh the 44th annual world famous Blue Crab Festival opened on Saturday, Little River Waterfront, ran its full schedule. Despite a stage incident reported earlier in the day. Now, I heard some rumblings because I heard people talking about I was at a cookout on Saturday with my family. It was a family thing. You know, other families there, you know, with kids and all that. And everybody was talking about it. I'm like, what do you mean what do you mean?

SPEAKER_07 6:47

What happened?

SPEAKER_04 6:47

Well, they I'm not gonna tell you what they said because they are just hearing what they heard on social media. All right. Multiple officers and emergency personnel, and oh no, a stage collapsed at the blue. Yeah, right. A stage collapse.

SPEAKER_06 7:00

What happened?

SPEAKER_04 7:01

Well, here it is.

SPEAKER_06 7:02

This is like the second time this is happening.

SPEAKER_04 7:04

Jennifer Walters, president CEO. Okay. I want to make sure that, yeah, this is the current one because you said once you said that, it's like, okay, I gotta check the date. No, this is current. Uh, Jennifer Walters, uh, the president CEO who we interviewed uh last week of the uh Little River Chamber of Commerce and Visitor Center said today's Bluecraft Festival was a tremendous success, drawing large and enthusiastic crowds to the waterfront. We are aware of reports circulating regarding an alleged stage collapse during the event. The reports are inaccurate. I'm telling you right straight from her mouth the incident in question involved a malfunction with a food truck platform. The situation was managed promptly, and we are pleased truck platform, and I don't know what that is, because I'm not I don't have a food truck. Uh, we are pleased to confirm that no serious injuries occurred. Safety and enjoyment of our guests, vendors, and community remain the highest priority. So she gave this interview on uh this would be Myrtle Beach SC News. Because I couldn't find that anywhere else.

SPEAKER_06 8:01

So it was an incident involving a food truck patio.

SPEAKER_04 8:04

Platform is what she said. A food truck platform. So is that something that they drive on and then they sit and then that gave way? I don't know. I can't picture what that looks like.

SPEAKER_06 8:15

What is a food truck patio? It says here a patio. Does that mean where they put the tables and chairs?

SPEAKER_04 8:20

Uh maybe.

SPEAKER_06 8:21

I mean it can't be high from the ground.

SPEAKER_04 8:24

No serious injuries. Right from her. No injuries. Well, she said no serious injuries. This says no injuries. Oh, perfect. Even better.

SPEAKER_06 8:31

And this is in the Sun News. But I can't click past that because you had to pay. So someone starting rumors, it turned into like a telephone game. Oh, yeah. Where now the whole stage collapsed. Right. Everybody on it. I'm thinking to myself, yeah, there's a band on stage, and oh man, that stuff's heavy.

SPEAKER_04 8:55

Yeah. You know? Yeah. And and if it collapsed, and what how you know, if it's like one of those ones that's usually about four feet high, so everybody could see. I mean, that's a decent amount to and sometimes these performers are no spring chickens, if you know what I mean. Yeah, no, that could really, really hurt people. My head was spinning. I'm like, oh no. So I want to make sure when I got home, I checked. I didn't see anything. And then today I saw that no, it was a food truck platform. Again, you said patio, I say platform. Well, Sunday said patio. All right. And the Myrtle Beach SC News said platform.

unknown 9:28

All right.

SPEAKER_06 9:29

Well, I hope you all had a great time at the Blue Crab Festival. So yesterday I no, Saturday I was at a graduation party. And then Sunday was uh I had my mom with me all day. Um, because I couldn't see her on Saturday. But um, you know what? It was perfect weather. A little humid yesterday, right?

SPEAKER_00 9:50

Yeah, a little bit.

SPEAKER_06 9:51

Yeah, but Saturday was perfect weather. So hopefully they had a great show. And um, yeah. Um Trump uh Trump impeacher, Bill Cassidy.

SPEAKER_04 10:05

He's a goner.

SPEAKER_06 10:06

What what took so long? I don't know the answer to that. Like that was like a long time ago, wasn't it?

SPEAKER_04 10:12

Yeah. I've got actually a quick little thing that I put together. This is uh before and was it Louisiana? Yes. Okay. So here is him. There was a primary in Louisiana for Congress. And the Trump person, person that Trump uh endorsed got it. Well, there's a runoff now. But she she she was leading, but didn't hit 50%. So it's her and that other person who got they got the out of the three, okay, those two got well, it's covered in this. So we'll start with a flashback from Bill Cassidy. Uh or not. I hate it when people mess with my buttons. Here we go.

SPEAKER_01 10:48

People want to trust, they want to trust their leaders. They want people to be held accountable. Now we are holding, I'm attempting to hold President Trump accountable. And that is the trust I have from the people that elected me. And I am very confident that as time passes, people will move to that position.

SPEAKER_00 11:07

So you think you'll eventually represent a majority of you in Louisiana?

SPEAKER_01 11:10

You know, um, I think I may already represent a majority of you.

SPEAKER_00 11:16

Do you think he can run a credible campaign for president again? Will he remain a force in the Republican Party? What does that mean for the Republican Party?

SPEAKER_01 11:23

I think his force wines. The Republican Party is more than just one person.

SPEAKER_02 11:28

The two-term incumbent Republican senator Bill Caffidy of Louisiana finished third in a three-way primary for his own seat after Donald Trump endorsed one of his challengers. Trump endorsed Julia Lettlow. Uh, she's going to move ahead, and Louisiana treasurer John Fleming is also going to advance to the runoff, which will now take place in June.

SPEAKER_04 11:49

There you go. So after all that, yes, I wonder what took so long. I mean, with Rice, he was out right away. This guy, I don't know. I don't know if it's an election thing.

SPEAKER_06 11:58

John Fleming, the runoff, right? Yeah. With Bill Cassidy, they add up to over 50%. And she got 44.9%. So the question is how many people who voted for Bill Cassidy are going to vote for Julia? I don't know, because he's a an impeacher, and Julia has a Trump kiss. So how many people are gonna be mad at Trump for tanking Bill Cassidy? How many of those Bill Cassidy voters are gonna vote for John Fleming just because?

SPEAKER_04 12:31

Yeah, I get your point there. We'll see.

SPEAKER_06 12:34

So there could be an issue there. And then that's a bad look for Trump.

SPEAKER_04 12:40

We'll find out in a month.

SPEAKER_06 12:41

Yeah. Um, but you know what? Um people are just you know, I honestly, I really when Joe Biden was president, I could never have imagined all of this. It was really hot, hard to see through the Biden administration and what we went through post-COVID, through the vaccine, debacle. And I just didn't think that we were gonna come out on the other side of this. Um, but here we are. And I think um, I wish I could I could play maybe at some point Trump's Air Force One chat with the media. Uh, and I just thought it was great about him wrapping up on a lot of issues with China. And and I thought that the Brett Bear interview was way better than the Sean Hannity interview because Sean Hannity's kind of like a softball player, and Bill and Brett Bear is a little bit more hardball. Um, and I just thought he got more out of Trump than, you know, just that chill thing with uh Sean Hannity.

SPEAKER_04 14:00

Well, and I think Trump's proud of his uh appearance because he they included his entire interview with Brett Bear on uh rapid response.

SPEAKER_06 14:09

It was great. I thought it was great, and um the Air Force One interview where they have that little gaggle in the hallway by the bathroom, yeah. They always have it there. That poor person that was stuck in there one day, remember?

SPEAKER_05 14:22

That's right.

SPEAKER_06 14:23

They had to like sit in there and wait. How long are they gonna wait? Trump can talk forever. That's right. I too would be like pulling on the door a little bit. I think uh I think he explains it really well what happened in China and uh what's gonna what's going on in Taiwan, and what about the billion-dollar weapon deal that they're trying to ship over to Taiwan? Trump said he's not making any decisions on it just yet. And uh, I thought it was very interesting. I learned a lot on that Air Force One uh chat gaggle.

SPEAKER_04 14:53

Okay, it is quick answer to your question. I had forgotten about that. Uh he is a senator, Bill Cassidy.

SPEAKER_06 14:59

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 15:00

So every six years, he had just gotten elected. So his next time up was this time, and he lost.

SPEAKER_06 15:05

That that long?

SPEAKER_04 15:06

Six years.

SPEAKER_06 15:07

Jeez. No, I I know six years, but I'm saying I feel like there had to be a primary prior.

SPEAKER_04 15:15

Crazy, yeah. So that makes sense. Yeah, it does make sense. I'd forgotten about it.

SPEAKER_06 15:18

Somehow he missed that cutoff.

SPEAKER_04 15:20

I guess. So thank you, uh Raymond.

SPEAKER_06 15:22

Well, I'm glad they didn't forget.

SPEAKER_04 15:24

Random person on the budget blinds text line. Thank you.

SPEAKER_06 15:26

Yeah. I think it still means that Trump is king. I would agree. King maker. I would agree. No kings, no kings. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 15:39

Wow. Wow. There's a gap. I haven't played this one in a while, so I gotta trim the gap.

SPEAKER_06 15:43

Trim the gap, baby. So what is this nonsense of this Traxler women woman? Oh, Dr.

SPEAKER_08 15:54

Brandon Traxler. Yeah. Who picked her? Uh, not me. That's what I want to know.

SPEAKER_06 15:59

Not me. Brandon Traxler. Do you know any? Does anybody know who I'm talking about? Well, if you tuned in to our Facebook Live in the morning, Dr. Traxler.

SPEAKER_04 16:12

She's uh stirring up the ire of the social media realm. There's a lot of people saying, What are you doing, Governor McMaster?

SPEAKER_06 16:20

He's giving us a parting gift. It feels like it's a lot.

SPEAKER_05 16:25

Feels like it.

SPEAKER_06 16:26

You know, I was against the whole drug czar thing that they were, I mean the health czar thing they were trying to put here at DHEC. Uh Dr. Traxler, who this is according to um Caitlin York, who I think was involved with um Moms for Liberty, I'm not sure. Uh she wrote, never forget, Dr. Traxler, who Governor Henry McMaster just appointed as the public health director, was a major driver of many discriminatory COVID-era policies that ruined our children's lives in 2021 to 2022. She promoted the outrageous test-to-stay policy, which moms for liberty fought vehemently in February of 22. These policies cost our children thousands of hours of academic instructional time in our country in our county alone. That's your county. What the hell is Governor McMaster thinking appointing this woman to this position? Let me just tell you, she is not the picture of health at all. Okay? No, not at all. And also it just goes to show. It just goes to show when I ask anybody who's running for governor what that I have a chance to ask, because I've only the only people that have come on were are Rom Reddy and Ralph Norman. Did I was I able to interview anybody? Everybody got an invitation. That's right.

SPEAKER_04 18:05

I'm assuming Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evittly with the show. We'll call soon.

SPEAKER_06 18:10

They can come on a couple of times before June 9th, but they haven't contacted me. And I chased no one. So I invited them, I told them how to, haven't heard from them. Rom Reddy and Ralph Norman both responded to me the proper way. And I say proper. Tyrannical. I asked them, what did you think of the COVID policy in this state? That's right. Tyrannical.

SPEAKER_04 18:39

Well, just to give you a little background on Dr. Brandon Traxler from February 2nd, 2022. This is WIS TV. We go to them often for sources when it comes to Greenville and Columbia type stuff going on. The South Carolina Department of Health and DHEC, public health director, Dr. Brandon Traxler.

unknown 19:01

Okay.

SPEAKER_04 19:02

Said that expanding vaccine eligibility to children ages six months to five years is an important step towards getting back to normal. Quote, I think of it almost as a little piece of the last vaccination puzzle, she said. That's all you need to know. She was in favor of injecting six months-old children with that poison. That's all you need to know. That's it. That's it. For me, that's all I need right there. What is he thinking? I don't know. She's either an idiot, corrupt, or paid off. You pick.

SPEAKER_06 19:41

Test-to-stay programs allow students exposed to COVID-19 to remain in school with frequent rapid testing instead of quarantining at home, helping maintain in-person instruction. The CDC endorsed it as a key mitigation strategy, and early data from Massachusetts showing it it saved um 500,000 school days, 2.9% positivity rate among participants. The approach typically prepared with masking ventilation and vaccinations reduces transmission risk. So you were like encouraged to stay, and you would have to put your kids through um constant on-site testing.

SPEAKER_04 20:25

Which we know is already faulty to begin with.

SPEAKER_06 20:27

Right. Remain asymptomatic and test negative daily in order to stay in school. Every day. You know how much anxiety that must have caused people?

SPEAKER_05 20:38

She doesn't children.

SPEAKER_06 20:40

She's science. I'm following the science. And she's a doctor?

SPEAKER_04 20:44

Uh-huh. That's what it says.

SPEAKER_08 20:46

Oh God. Oh, sorry. Sorry. I was looking her up on my Instagram.

SPEAKER_04 20:53

Like I said, that quote that I read to you and what you just said? Nope. No. She should be nowhere near public. She's there. She's she's in. I know. She should be nowhere near public person. She's appointed. So what does that mean?

SPEAKER_06 21:06

I don't know. Does she she's she's not even going through a nomination? She doesn't say nominated. It says she's appointed.

SPEAKER_04 21:14

Well, uh yeah, apparently the governor has power.

unknown 21:18

Ha ha.

SPEAKER_06 21:20

Uh, okay, let's go.

SPEAKER_03 21:22

The Liz Callaway Show with Nick Summers. Making Grand Strand Morning Radio great again. Back in a bit.

SPEAKER_06 21:30

She's a medical consultant. That's her title. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 21:39

I don't need any consultation.

SPEAKER_08 21:43

I just need to calm down.

SPEAKER_04 21:46

She's all about jabbing the six-month-old. Stop. Right there. Right there. Right there. Right there. Keep your hands off my babies.

SPEAKER_06 21:58

Oh my gosh. Yikes. Okay.

SPEAKER_04 22:03

It's a good song for the uh pro COVID pukers.

SPEAKER_06 22:20

I gotta read this letter. Yeah. Um you know, she was really pushing. We're talking about Dr. Doctor. I use that term lightly. Branon Traxler. Um, just named by Governor Henry Master as a parting gift. Thank you. As um well, she was the interim public health director. And now she was appointed, and he wrote a letter. Um, he wrote, Dr. Traxler has spent her career improving the well-being of the people of South Carolina and has earned the trust and respect of those she has worked alongside. Well, she hasn't heard earned mine. She made the children wear masks in school. Yep.

SPEAKER_04 23:08

Pro jab, pro-mask, protesting, pro everything that is exactly the opposite of common sense.

SPEAKER_06 23:14

And then she used the death of her elderly family member to scare everybody, okay, into masking and and being six feet apart. That questions everything else she's ever said any other time as a doctor. We all know, they all know how to use masks, what they're good for, what kind of things they're good for, and what they're not good for. And if she told her elderly loved one, yeah, you're safe with a mask on, and um, yeah, just wear a mask, and um, you know, just stay six feet apart, you'll be perfectly fine. And I said early on, that is false. Yep. We all know it's false, and you're giving people a false sense of security and you're a sunscreen mentality. Yep. And you're telling people go ahead, go out, don't worry, use a mask, stay six feet apart, and you'll be fine. That is an absolute lie. They put people at risk who should have, if you really seriously had um uh an immunocompromised system.

SPEAKER_04 24:36

You should be the one staying at home.

SPEAKER_06 24:38

You right. You should not be going out wearing a mask, touching everything, and blah, blah, blah.

SPEAKER_04 24:43

And half the time, people didn't wear masks right anyway, and they used the same mask around for five, six days in a row, blah, blah, blah.

SPEAKER_06 24:49

Yeah, because they were expensive and hard to come by.

SPEAKER_04 24:50

Some of the good ones, yeah. Yeah, the good the real good ones. And we already told you that the cheap ones you got at Costco and CVS did squat.

SPEAKER_06 24:57

Oh, how about the ones that all the ladies were sewing up?

SPEAKER_04 25:00

Oh, yeah, with your favorite sports teams. Yeah. Junk.

SPEAKER_06 25:03

The heck was that?

SPEAKER_04 25:04

I don't know.

SPEAKER_06 25:05

They tried to make them into like Rosie the Riveter, um, you know, saving society one mask at a time.

SPEAKER_04 25:12

And it was never going to work. That's no. That's a good time to do this one.

SPEAKER_05 25:20

That's not how it works. That's not how any of this works.

SPEAKER_04 25:24

Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 25:25

It never did. Here we go. And she's now the director. Oh, wonderful. She was the chief medical officer for South Carolina's emergency response that shut down businesses. Non-essential businesses, had people arrested at restaurants. We never did that as a state. Who said that?

SPEAKER_04 25:45

Do you remember that? Yes, I do remember that.

SPEAKER_07 25:55

What is going on here? Why would he appoint her?

SPEAKER_04 25:58

People are uh Why would he appoint her? It's funny because people are posting all the places that she donated to. I can neither confirm nor deny. Oh, she was supporting Biden. Big time.

SPEAKER_06 26:08

She was standing. She is right there.

SPEAKER_04 26:10

Oh, yeah, right there. Donated, but also don donated to Act Blue many multiple occasions.

SPEAKER_06 26:18

I'm not gonna hold it against her that she's a Democrat.

SPEAKER_04 26:21

No, but that just tells her her way of thinking immediately, right out of the gate.

SPEAKER_06 26:25

If you're a medical doctor, you shouldn't be just outwardly supporting a president of any kind or any political like you should be like total middle of the road. Like now I gotta go check the political standing of all of my doctors because they're gonna hold it against me. And we've heard that happen, remember? Oh yeah. Yeah, oh yeah. Oh, they're unvaccinated.

SPEAKER_04 26:55

Yeah. Some doctors are turning away patients saying you can't come. You're not you're not vaccinated. You refused the vaccine last time you were here. I don't want to see you. We heard that right on our text line. People telling us, yeah, I need a new doctor, because this one apparently thinks, you know, the COVID jab's magical. Whatever.

SPEAKER_06 27:16

In two in 2021, here's an old tweet. As we see these increasing numbers, I would like to see these vaccination rates increasing even faster than what they are.

SPEAKER_04 27:27

Why? Why is she anywhere near a a position that she could be making policy set for us in in public health? Why? She should be nowhere near that.

SPEAKER_06 27:38

Now they're they're starting. You know, I wanted to tell you this. Um when I was in this capacity of news talk radio back in uh 2014, okay? The whole thing with Ebola started to come out. I'm just gonna go full circle on you here for a second. Just humor me. The Ebola virus has been coming in and out of kind of outbreak status multiple times. And I did a lot of research on it. Now, Ebola is an extremely fast moving virus that kills you fast. And the problem is it wipes out these fam the like entire families and it wipes out villages quick. Why? I'm gonna tell you why. Because, first of all, it's very hard for this disease to become a pandemic, from what I understand. On a global scale, because it kills people too fast. That's right. Okay, and the people in the family are usually the ones who die because they're the ones handling the bodies. And in Africa, where a lot of these countries were hit by this, you know, it it changes all the time, right? What was happening is they the they handle the burial ritual in such a way that contaminates other people because of all the body fluid, because you bleed from every single orifice of your body. And that's how it spread. So they started, they realized how it spread, and they started saying, you cannot handle the bodies like you're supposed to, like you are culturally handling these bodies. And they had to stop how people were doing like they leave the body in the house, they leave the body in the bed, everybody comes to see, and then entire families were getting, then you wash the body, entire families were getting this and dying. Do you remember? I bet you you're not gonna remember this, Nikki. But listening. What year was it that Trump won the first time? 2016.

SPEAKER_05 30:08

2016, yeah.

SPEAKER_06 30:09

Okay. The the last Ebola outbreak that hit the news that tried to scare everybody. Okay, they tried to do this with the Hontavirus, it didn't work. And now they're gonna they're bringing back Ebola. Oh, yeah. Okay. Trying. They did it in 2014, and I'm gonna tell you why I know it. Because I was a huge fan of Chris Christie. Mm-hmm. And I was like, okay, well, now remember, I was a New Yorker. I said, well, he's a he's a Republican who won in a Democrat state of New Jersey. And I, you know, he could bring everybody together. It's a good bridge from an Obama, it's better than Hillary. This is before Trump even was an inkling, a sparkle in my eye. Okay. And what happened was Chris Christie, I liked his plain talking. He talked common sense. He he was friends with Trump. He was, you know, he served in the first administration, albeit briefly, because he put uh Trump's uh son-in-law's father in jail for horrible crimes. But anyway, I digress. Um Chris Christie had an Ebola nurse. Okay, she was like in some missionary in Africa coming, and they were bringing up Ebola, like, you know, it was the new plague, right? Everybody was scared of it because you bleed from every orifice and die quickly. There's like no thing, what okay? So they they bring her, they they bring her here, and they had her in New Newark Airport, and they had set up these quarantine tents. Does anybody remember that? I do. And it it tanked his entire campaign. She sued him in one because she wanted to go home. And she's like, I don't have Ebola. And they were like, No, you must stay here and be sprayed with Lysol 24-7. Okay, so she was in that tent, whatever. That whole thing tanked him. Not only that, but the whole bridge thing, you know, how he shut down the bridge and retaliation.

SPEAKER_04 32:15

Okay, then Wasn't it the beach thing too?

SPEAKER_06 32:17

That was after. That was COVID. Um, that's right. Yeah. And so anyway.

SPEAKER_05 32:23

It's my beach.

SPEAKER_06 32:25

That was they tried to, I now that I know, like hindsight's 2020, right? They were trying to use Ebola, Ebola to tank the election leading into 2016. But Trump came in like a freight train. Yep. And he came in and and they didn't see him coming, and they were blindsided by Trump's popularity. They thought Hillary was gonna be the next president.

SPEAKER_04 32:52

They didn't take Trump seriously, and that was their first mistake.

SPEAKER_06 32:54

Well, because he had teased many times for years that he was gonna run, just like Howard Stern always used to tease. He was gonna run for mayor of New York, governor of New York, president of the United States, because right? He all he would always tease about it. And nobody ever took it, say, oh, Howard Stern's gonna run it, he's talking about it. Okay, Trump used to say it too.

SPEAKER_05 33:12

True.

SPEAKER_06 33:13

Okay, and so here we are. They tried to bring up Ebola back then. Now they're doing it again because we're heading into midterms. Like we've got their number now.

SPEAKER_04 33:25

Nobody's buying it.

SPEAKER_06 33:26

They did it with Hontavirus, they tried to do it.

SPEAKER_04 33:28

Nobody's buying it. No, not really. And thank goodness for a more freer Twitter X. I know it only represents small, you know, as far as the grand scheme of things in social media, but at least it gives a voice to these doctors who are making sense. And these epidemiologists like the one that we have played before. He said there's currently a 1 in 1.5 billion chance the average American will get Ebola this year. This is that uh Dr. Nicholas Holster, who's the epidemiologist. You're 1,228 times more likely to get struck by lightning than catching Ebola. Don't be fooled by the mass media.

SPEAKER_06 34:07

I also want to say, I do recall they were talking about tobacco stock. I I remember this like it was yesterday. This sounds familiar. Literally 12 years ago. And they were talking about, hey, we found that there's a vaccine that we can make from the tobacco stocks. And I said, hey, hey, maybe this is a chance for the tobacco industry to come back in South Carolina. I remember saying that. Um, and they were saying that there was something about the tobacco plant that could be worked in to the Ebola virus.

SPEAKER_04 34:44

I remember that now.

SPEAKER_06 34:45

And there was some success in that.

SPEAKER_04 34:47

So does everyone remember why when you went to the hospital since that time have you traveled outside the country in the last two weeks? That's why.

SPEAKER_06 34:54

Listen, they did the same thing.

SPEAKER_04 34:56

That's that both of them. Yep.

SPEAKER_06 34:58

They were trying to control you.

SPEAKER_04 35:02

Exactly.

SPEAKER_06 35:03

And they're doing it again.

SPEAKER_04 35:05

No, they're trying again. But we're not so stupid. And smart doctors it will never happen again.

SPEAKER_06 35:10

Yeah, no. You're gonna have to pick a different thing. Exactly. Yeah. We're too smart. We're too smart. All right, it is 655. Now that that Ebola virus is truly deadly. Of course it is. And Hantavirus is truly deadly.

SPEAKER_04 35:25

But the chance of us getting it with our lifestyle on this nah.

SPEAKER_06 35:29

Yeah. Well, you know. I don't wish it on anybody. But I'm telling you, they are deadly and very hard to cure. I don't think you can cure Ebola. And um, you die very quickly if unattended. Right. And it's a very horrible thing.

SPEAKER_04 35:46

But it's not like the chance of you getting it.

SPEAKER_06 35:53

There's a lot of bad diseases out there. And the number one killing animal, the most deadliest animal on the planet, is the mosquito. Yeah. That's the deadliest animal on the planet. It kills more people than anything.
