SPEAKER_15Here comes the Liz Callaway show with next summer. Making France Tran Morning Radio quick again. Liz Callaway next summer. Picking up your wake up with news, opinion, and insight every weekday morning on Talk 94.5 106.7.
SPEAKER_16Alright, like I said, no Lizzie. Thursday, June 4th. Next month on this day, it'll be our nation's 250th. I know. Pretty exciting. Alright, so what are we going to cover today? Uh, you know, we'll just kind of foot loose and fancy-free kind of thing. You know, we'll cover some stuff. I know we have, I don't know how long he's gonna stay, because he's gotta take uh Bailey to school, his son, but Lieutenant Colonel Chris Opart will be joining us a little later on. That's really my only guest, so it's just like wide open. So maybe we'll do a free-for-all. How about that? Oh, thanks, Tim. Tim, by the way, uh, let's see, I want to make sure I get this right. Uh he came to the house over the weekend with his uh soon-to-be lovely bride and uh grabbed one of my guitars. I I you know, here's the thing with my guitars. I have many, and I'm and it's hard for me to let them go because I each one means something different. And there's some that I don't even play, and they're just not fun to play, but I like them. It's really weird. I don't I don't know how to explain it. It's hard to explain. It really is. But and the one I sold Tim because he was looking for an acoustic, and I was trying to give him a deal below what value is, you know, so he gets a deal and and you know, the guitar gets used. And that's how I look at it, because I really liked the guitar I had, but I've got one that's so similar to it. It was an acoustic, a fender acoustic. And the one I sold him was a tea bucket. That's what they call it. It had kind of a western motif to it. It was kind of cool. It was different than the black one I got, which I got from my wife for my birthday, which replaced the one that got smashed accidentally. That's another story. Uh so I was like, I don't really have any, but yeah, I kind of do. So I told him, Yeah, I got one. Why don't you come over and take a look at it? And he did and said it's great, perfect, bought it. And, you know, I'm I'm stu I st it's like one of those things where I miss it, but now I feel better because I see this cute little girl named Aubrey who got it as a birthday present last night, and he sent me a series of pictures of her holding it, and it's great because now it's gonna get used a lot. A lot. There's a picture of him showing her a D chord. So it's great. And he said she loved it so much, gave me a huge hug. Thanks, Nick, and I got a picture of the hug and everything. So yeah. So I I guess I have to look at it this way, which made me think because Liz is selling her stuff, her uh equipment that she had when her and her hubby were gonna do the DJ thing, and then it just didn't happen because they got the restaurant, and yeah, you know the story. And and she took a loss, but she's like, you know, it's just sitting in my garage. And I've got this huge band PA system that's just sitting there, and it's like, I know I'm gonna lose money on it because you just do equipment, you always lose money. Even if I got a good deal on it, I'm still gonna lose money. But it's it's it's pretty huge. It was uh it powered my you know, the club band I was in, the local band 85 overdrive. And you know, they're still out there playing and and everything. Got a couple of guitar players and sounding good and everything, and that's awesome for them. But here I'm sitting on this PA system that's you know, a couple thousand watts. I got this digital board that you can control like with a tablet. What am I doing with it? And it's it's being wasted because it's just sitting there. And the same thing goes for some of the guitars I have. It's just like, you know, I need to let it go. There's somewhere I've got like three versions of the same guitar. Well, the one I've got like six versions, but that's those will never go. And then I got a couple that my daughter says, you can't ever sell that, Daddy. So apparently she wants them, even though I don't think she has any interest in playing, but she wants some. There you go. So I think I think I'll I'll have to let that PA system go and just take it for a loss. Oh wow. Okay, so I saw some interesting things scrolling through social media this morning. Uh as we know, we're gonna have uh Adam Morgan on tomorrow, who has just tapped as the running mate for Ralph Norman, Lieutenant Governor, and I really like Adam Morgan a lot. Uh just full disclosure, I think he's a great guy. Uh I'm I'm interested to see what he has to say now that he's it's official in his new role as uh Ralph Norman's running mate to be the governor of South Carolina. We had Rom Reddy on yesterday. So it's it's you know, for Liz and I, we've said this before, we're just kind of, you know, we're not really sure, to be honest with you. I mean, this we've got a couple of choices, and that they're they'll all be fine. You know, but we have concerns with the what we feel is the rampant corruption. It certainly feels like that. I I don't know if it's true, but it feels like it, right? In in Colombia, kind of mirroring what's going on in in DC. I you know, the what's going on in California, and that's what's leading to me to this, because everybody's going crazy on this California thing. Why is it taking them so long? They said 10 days, maybe 15. What are you talking about? You've got third world nations that can count their votes quicker. I I whole nations count their I mean, Florida counts. Everybody counts in the over, you know, basically in the overnight, and they have their winner. Oh. I got all these mail-in ballots. It's just the corruption there again. Can you prove it? I don't know. But when you've got people relating stories about how, you know, I went in to vote, but I I couldn't vote, so I gave them a different address so I could vote in this election. That was just one example. So, okay, we'll avoid that, we'll use this address. It's like that's not how it's supposed to work. You don't need an ID to vote there. It's just off the charts. And I saw something that caught my attention I thought was really funny. There is a 73% chance we all wake up tomorrow morning to find out Joe Biden is the new mayor of Los Angeles. Yeah. I mean, it's a joke, but is it? So between and Thune could have prevented this. That was what I also was starting to say. If he would have just rammed this through. We've we don't need this zombie filibuster nonsense thing. And then we found out yesterday, not found out, and we've heard this before, but it was just spotlighted yesterday. And I can't wait to get to some of the audio. And and Liz and I are so over these meetings and these hearings that are just about nothing. You know, you've got cabinet members that have to go in and basically report, here's what we're doing. And they never end up talking about anything they're supposed to be talking about. And it got to the point where where Rubio just said, what is this, a circus? They brought up shoes, they brought up Trump sleeping. I mean, you can disagree with Trump's policies all you want. You can think he's a buffoon, you can think whatever you want. That's fine. That's your right. But we all have to agree on this. The guy is not a sleepy guy. Like a sleepy Joe Biden. The guy has not, you know, hasn't lost his mental faculties. Just listen to any press conference. He fields any question from anybody. You may not like his answers, but he's answering. It's not like he's bumbling and stumbling and mispronouncing and getting people's names wrong all the time and talking to dead people and pooping his pants on stage. All of that happened with the previous guy, but now we had to sit and listen to a hearing with Marco Rubio and Mullins, oh, Al Green, telling Mullins to shut up. Right. Are you kidding me? Calling him a racist? Not that it matters, because it doesn't matter to him. But he's part Cherokee. Go ahead, call him a racist. I just, you know, Al Green is just, I'm so glad he's done. And Massey, no surprise. You know that the uh the rhinos that got voted out so far, and they're losing their primary bids across the nation, you know they're gonna go against everything Trump does. They basically said they would already. Massey crossed over, along with I think four, maybe five other Republicans. The war powers thing, which is just nothing but a symbolic thing. It means nothing. Trump will just veto it. We're not officially at war. It's just it's it's stupid. They they waste our time and a lot of our money. These so-called leaders, these are the things that they're worried about. But to hear these clowns, and there's so many examples, I just threw a couple out there, but trust me, there's a lot trying to, you know, here's my moment, use it as, you know, soundbites and fundraising and clips, and then they it's doctored up and then sent out to their constituents and sent out to their donors. Look, he's a tough leader. He took on the Trump administration, and it's just garbage. They have nothing to talk about. Shoes, really? I'll play that one. I'll start there. Why not? Because it's just so ridiculous. Where is it? Uh, I gotta get the uh is it Jacobs? Yeah, it's Jacobs, representative Jacobs, I believe, talking about the shoes, and Rubio says, What is this? A circus? Again, not really talking about not much, a little bit, but not much about really what the important things are. It's just filled with a bunch of gotcha moments, and I can't wait to go viral, you know, these these these clowns. And and it's it's hilarious to me that they bring up, and I'll get to the Ted Lou guy, and I'm glad Rubio said what he said. So we'll start there. Here we go.
SPEAKER_12And just like you couldn't admit that the shoes the president bought you were too big, you clearly don't know what winning means. And not because the facts are unclear to you, it's because telling your truth the truth would cost you your job. And the American people are entitled to a secretary of state who tells them the truth even when the president doesn't want to hear it. And my constituents, our service members, deserve better. Mr. Chairman, I yield back.
SPEAKER_05I don't know what shoes she's talking about. What is she talking about?
SPEAKER_08Representative Burchett, you're recognized. Thanks, Mr. Chairman. If you'd like to answer any of that. Yeah, I don't know about the shoes.
SPEAKER_05I mean, he gave me some floorshime shoes. They're actually pretty good. They fit fine. I don't know where I don't know what she's talking about, and maybe that's what she's referring to.
SPEAKER_12Um your shoes look very nice today, Mr. Secretary.
SPEAKER_05Well, how can you see them? They're way down here. We're talking about shoes. Are you guys kidding me? I mean, is this the Foreign Affairs Committee or is this like a circus? What is this? Exactly!
SPEAKER_16What is it she was hoping to accomplish? Some weird story about the shoes that were purchased by President Trump as a gift for Rubio, I think, for his birthday, and they didn't fit? And what is the point? Nothing. There is no point. It's just some made-up gotcha moment that really failed. Same thing with that clown Lou. This goes back to what I was saying earlier. Really? President Trump not working with, you know, full thrusters, as they said in Star Trek at one time? Are you kidding me? Again, disagree till the end of time on his policies. Fine. But to accuse him of not being involved or aware, just listen to this exchange.
SPEAKER_06If Donald Trump cannot stay awake at these important meetings where the cameras are rolling, imagine what he's like when the cameras are not there. So I'm gonna ask you have you been at classified meetings where Donald Trump has fallen asleep or had trouble staying awake?
SPEAKER_05I've never been at any meeting where and the things you're showing me now, he was not falling asleep. And I think that's the Foreign Affairs Committee of the United States of Representatives asking questions about sleep.
SPEAKER_06You're lying to Congress, Secretary Rubio. So I'm gonna show you another video in a moment.
SPEAKER_05Uh other than to tell you that it's absurd and ridiculous, and I can't believe we're in a foreign affairs committee meeting in front of the House at an important time in American foreign policy. Just keep lying, Secretary Rubio.
SPEAKER_06Just keep lying.
SPEAKER_05When he's not. The truth of the matter is we had a cognitively impaired president in office a few years ago. Yes. That's a cognitively impaired president, but I don't like to talk about that because it weakens America. This president we have, this is a guy that literally doesn't sleep. He works day and night, long hours, every single day. I don't know if you haven't seen him in eight days. I saw him yesterday. I didn't see him today, but yesterday because I was in Congress the day before. I talked to him at all hours of the day and night. He works inhumane hours. Okay, I've been on law, I've been on foreign trips with the president, that he doesn't sleep in the whole flight. And everyone else is sleeping on the plane, and he's you know, wandering in the hallways looking for someone to wake up and talk to that people are so I don't know what you're referring to, but he has an incredible amount of energy. I'm just telling you, you may not like his policies. You may not like his policies, you may not like the decisions he's made, but I assure you, this is not a president that sleeps or is cognitively impaired in any way, shape, or form, and in fact, is is incredibly active, much more so in many cases than much younger people that are around him. Those are facts. I see it every day. You're not going to agree because you have another narrative that you want to push, but those are the facts.
SPEAKER_16You know, what's interesting, and he's right, what's interesting, and I'm glad he brought it up, is the inhumane, insane hours that this man keeps. And it's not just him saying it. Let's be honest. How many times have we heard reporters, even from Looney Lefty Network, say, let's say this guy just doesn't sleep. You know, the 13, 14-hour flights on Air Force One, and he's holding court. And everybody's like, Oh, let me sleep, but I gotta get up there because that's my job. Stick the you know, mic in his face. To insinuate that he's falling asleep. And what's hilarious, the response from Rapid Response 47 on X is the last few days because this broke. I mean, they said Trump had a stroke, he was, you know, we hadn't seen him in 24 hours, 48 hours, whatever it was. And everybody said, Oh, oh, he's hiding something. He had another appointment at the medical center. Walter Reed, what's he hiding? And it's like, what do you mean? What is he hiding? He's almost 80 years old. He gets checked out frequently. I would too, especially under the stress and the strain that he's under. And every time he gets checked, he's fine. The point is, so what they've been doing is hilariously taking still shots of various people in the media with their eyes closed. In other words, blinking and saying, wow, Caitlin Collins falls asleep in the Oval Office during President Trump's press conference. Is she not well? What is going on? The same nonsense that they accuse President Trump of. They're doing it non-stop for like the last, I don't know, it's it's I think it's been a week. Still shots of every one of these loony lefty networks and even some people on the left, elected people, with their eyes closed because they're blinking and saying, are they are they not well? Well played, X team for the White House. That is perfect.

SPEAKER_13Mark Lynch claims he's the conservative choice to represent South Carolina. But his past tells a different story. Multiple DUIs, a hit and run arrest, a cocaine trafficking conviction. And that's just the beginning of U.S. Senate candidate Mark Lynch's rap sheet. Lynch's own business was caught red-handed violating immigration laws, the very laws designed to protect American jobs from illegal workers. And now we learn that some of Lynch's closest advisors think that women shouldn't even be allowed to vote. It also accused the president of the United States of orchestrating 9-11. One advisor even supported an alleged pedophile. Mark Lynch, a rap sheet fit for a convict, not a United States senator. And a past far too problematic to represent us.

SPEAKER_11Lindsey Graham wants to steal your Social Security. He wants to cut your benefits and raise the retirement age to 70, which is our average lifetime expectancy. My name is Mark Lynch. I'm running for the United States Senate against Lindsey Graham to save your Social Security and protect what you've paid into all these years. I've grown my company over 35 times in the last 40 years debt-free, and I want to take that experience to Washington to help South Carolinians. In DC, we'll stop spending, we'll cut the budget, and we'll end the self-control inflation. And most of all, we'll protect our seniors' Social Security benefits. Lindsey Graham's legacy is one of putting South Carolinians' interests last. I'm Mark Lynch. Vote for me June 9th to save Social Security for our seniors, rebuild our infrastructure, and build a better future for South Carolinians.

SPEAKER_15Liz Callaway Show with Nick Summers. Liz and Nickerback.
SPEAKER_16How about Kid Rock? Good morning to you. No Liz Callaway today. I'm still here. Liz Callaway Show with Nick Summers. You know, let's let's just go ahead and round out uh the circus in DC yesterday, as that's what Secretary Rubio called it. Rightfully so. Alright, alright. 626. Uh here we go. Uh a couple of these were just pretty hilarious. Some of them are sad. Uh Al Green, he's gone, but you know, he had to called he called Secretary Mullins. Mark Wayne Mullins, a racist, and then told him to shut up. These are the people that we send there that profit off of all the decisions they make because that's legal. They got the best healthcare in the world for life. Great retirement package. After you get a I I can't remember what it is, but they get over a hundred grand a year. Or close to it. I want to say maybe it's like 70 something to a hundred grand. I'm not sure what it is. I have I'll look that up. Because I think we looked it up before Liz and I were discussing it. And after you serve, I think it's maybe two terms, which many of them have, they're pretty much set. Not to mention all of the trading they do, which if you or I did it, we'd be nailed up for insider trading. But that's legal. Right. Alright. See? Exempt themselves from Obamacare. Remember when that whole thing went? Yeah. Mm-hmm. So, this guy's out of a job, but he's he'll be fine. It's Al Green.
SPEAKER_04A racist, Mr. Secretary. Renew what happened to Ruby. Are you calling me a racist? A racist? I'm asking a question. Reclaiming my time, asking to shut up. That's a pretty shut up. Up? Shut up. Uh, it's my time. I'm not gonna let anybody call me to call me a racist, Chairman. I never called him a racist. It's my time. It is. Gentleman will suspend. He will suspend him to shut up. It'll gentlemen suspend.
SPEAKER_03No, the gentleman will suspend.
SPEAKER_16That guy. Yeah. Professional, isn't he? Alright, so here I looked it up. Representatives must serve for at least five years and be at least 62 years old to collect. They can also retire at 50 with 20 years of service. Or at any age with 25 years of service. So the pension that they get is uh the maximum pension is capped at 80% of their highest salary, which equates to, I was right, right around $139,000. So actual payout varies based on tenure. For example, a lawmaker retiring after 10 years gets about $30,000 a year. So my point is that once they get in office and at least serve five years, they're fine. They're not they're not hurting for money. They go back to civilian life, many of them lawyers, and open up some BS law firm and you know make money there and then collect their minimum of 30,000 a year from the U.S. government plus healthcare for life. I mean, it's just it's out of hand. Uh Bessant, a couple of shots across the bow, connecting the guy who was questioning him about the Treasury and connecting him to Epstein or at least his family. It's very confusing. I did look it up, and there are there are connections, and the guy immediately shut up. It was really interesting. Listen.
SPEAKER_08Senator Wyden has mendaciously slandered the Treasury Building in an attempt to cover up his son having an investment meeting with Jeffrey Epstein to ask for funding. Thank you.
SPEAKER_09Mr. Chairman.
SPEAKER_08Wow.
SPEAKER_09Let's be clear here. Nobody is interested in the ramblings of a capo in the most corrupt regime in American history. Oh, really? If you want to facts about this deal, that's what we're here for. Thank you.
SPEAKER_00Well, thank you, and I will uh ask my questions first today.
SPEAKER_08And we we would like to hear what Adam Wyden and Jeffrey Epstein talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's cabaret. So did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility.
SPEAKER_16Again, it's a circus in DC. These are hearings that happened in the last 48 hours. These are the things that these people are talking about. I don't blame Bessent. I like Besson, to be honest with you. He had this to say, and then I'm gonna go on the other side. We'll talk a little bit about this new acting uh director of DI. Because as you know, Tulsi Gabbard had to step away, take care of her husband, who by the way had successful surgery, I believe yesterday or the day before came out of surgery. Uh she posted saying it was successful, so I'm not exactly sure what that means. She was kind of light on details, but appreciates everyone's continued prayers and well-wishing. So that that's good news for her and her family. But uh this is this is them trying to Tom Tillis, Tom Tillis. But I like what Bessett said about this Bill Poulte thing.
SPEAKER_17Listen, tell Palte you were gonna punch him in the face. Uh no, sir. I actually said it was gonna kick his ass. Good. Okay, good. I share the emotion. Um thank you.
SPEAKER_08And as I said, that was last summer, summer 25, and the many teams have fights in the locker room and then go out and win for the team on the panel.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, no, I was just curious because everybody's gonna be uh showing that. I made it clear I'm I'm not gonna support Poulte.
SPEAKER_16Yeah, of course you're not. Of course you're not, Taylor. But it was funny, and I like Bessant, and I liked what he said. No, I didn't say I was gonna punch him in the face, I was gonna kick his ass. So I've got some information about Bill Poulte, who is now going to be the acting DI. Uh sounds to me like they're gonna push for this guy's permanent job, but you know you can count on the Republicans. The Romanos, especially the ones that are all butthurt because they lost their primaries. Remember, they're still serving till January. They're gonna vote no on everything. Everything. They're gonna go with the Democrats just like they always do, for the most part. So, local news, plus some different things going on in the state. We've got our own circus in Columbia, if you will. We'll cover all that and a whole lot more. This is the Liz Callaway show. I am Nick Summers. Liz will be back tomorrow just to schedule day off. Stuck with me. How are we doing? It's moonshine day and cognac day. Liz Callaway Show, I am Nick Summers. Liz off, back tomorrow. Bill Pulte, who is this guy? He is the guy that Trump has picked to be the acting DI while uh Telsie Gabbard has stepped away. I think that's permanent. I don't know if she could be back, I don't know if as DI director, but back somewhere sometime, depending on how things go with her husband, who has uh been diagnosed with a some form of brain cancer. So she posted yesterday or the day before, I think, and how surgery went well, and he's in recovery and doing doing you know okay so far. So that's good. We don't wish that on anyone, regardless of politics. We're not crazy like the left. So who is this uh William John Poulte, an American businessman? I had to do some looking up. I mean, I heard the name, but I wasn't really sure. He was the head of Fannie Mae, head of Freddie Mac, the man who oversees every home loan in America. Right. He's a young guy. He's uh what is he, 40 almost, 38? Went to school, Northwestern University. So he is gonna be the guy. Uh temporarily at least. Uh I don't know if it's gonna be permanent because you've got some folks on the left, of course, and any rhino that you know hates Trump, which is all of them, uh, who will vote against him, I guess. So I don't know how long this is this is gonna go. Uh how far. I mean, uh uh his his temporary appointment, what is it, 90 days, I believe. Same thing with the I believe Todd Blanche. Todd Blanch has now been recommended as the permanent replacement for Pam Bondi. So we'll see how that goes. Again, you can't count on the Rhinos at all. Especially the ones who lost their primaries, they just hate Trump. So they will vote again. And we knew this was coming. And it's it's so close in the House and so close in the Senate, so this just shifts everything, and it's just nothing's gonna get done as usual. Because DC sucks. These people can't put aside their differences to see that, for example, the Save America Act, they have to continue to lie and say what? It's it's you know, voter suppression. No, it's not. But anyway, we'll talk about that later. Let's talk, let's continue this this Bill Pulte thing. Uh the White House says uh Bill Pulte will be an outstanding acting director of national intelligence. Strong support for Bill Pulte. Of course, they're you know spinning it their way, expect as expected. I did some digging and I found there's a great account on X. And every once in a while, you can tell they're great accounts because they're not out there fishing for you know clicks and likes. They're not an influencer. They just give you their honest assessment. Clandestine is another one that I like to follow, and this other one, Mr. Poole. And he kind of broke it down. I want to read this to you because Trump just moved the man who has seen every mortgage, every bank record, every financial transaction of his enemies into the chair that controls all 18 intelligence agencies. This is this this uh observer. I don't know who this Mr. Pool is, just like we don't know who Clandestine is. These accounts on X. Some people say, you know, they could be out there for pushing, you know, the narrative of the White House. I don't think so because these accounts have been around for a while. Uh let's see, this one joined when doesn't oh it doesn't I have to click on it, don't I? Joined in oh 2024. So maybe it's possible. But nevertheless, I just I want to read this because it seems like a pretty accurate description from everything that I've found out about Bill Poulte. So again, head of Fran uh Frannie Mae, Freddie Mac oversees every home loan in America. Today he was appointed acting director of national intelligence. The media is laughing, quote, a housing guy running intelligence, they think it's incompetence, they think Trump made a mistake. And here's how you know that that's not true. I'll just say on the side here before I get to the rest of this assessment, because all the right people hate this pick. If you had all the Democrats thinking this guy was an idiot, they would be what? And he was gonna fail at his job, maybe be not so thorough, maybe be easily manipulated. They'd be like, Yeah, yeah, sure, sure, no problem. I mean they wouldn't come out and say it that way, but they would just quietly not say anything, and then when it came time for his appointment votes, they would just vote, sure, sure, why not? No problem, and not say anything. But they hate this guy, and they're coming out strong and coming out swinging fast. Why? Because of the access and the intelligence that this guy has had with financial institutions. They'd this is this guy's assessment. They don't understand what has just happened. For 18 months, Poulte has had access to the mortgage files of sitting congressmen, exposed fraudulent property claims by political operatives, opened investigations into financial records that were supposed to stay buried. Oh, that's why they hate him. Because he can see their corruption. One congressman filed a federal complaint last week claiming Polte accessed his confidential mortgage files without authorization. He didn't deny it. Now that same man sits above the CIA, above the NSA, above the FBI, and above every classified database in the United States. A man who already knows where they live, what they own, who paid for it, and which names are on the deeds, now has access to where they travel, who they call, and what they hide. Now, this is what this guy's assessment is. You can believe what you want. Tulsi didn't leave because of her husband. She left because her part was finished. The intelligence community has been restructured from the inside. The next phase does not require a diplomat. It requires a forensic accountant with top secret clearance. The hunt doesn't begin when you see the arrest. It begins when the man reading the files changes. The man just changed. Wow. That is an interesting assessment. Is it correct? I don't know the answer to that. It's feasible because they kind of did the same thing with Pam Bondi. Her role was to clean up the DOJ. Not to really assist in any of the prosecutions, although she did in some. I mean, if you really look at crime, crime overall is down nationally. And I know crime statistics statistics can be monkeyed and fooled with to, you know, we know that. We've seen that here. Myrtle beach. But it's hard to deny the level, you know, the murder rate. I mean, all of that stuff is it's significantly down. And we're seeing high-level arrests. We're seeing there was an operation in uh Abbeville, which not related, but I'm just saying, I mean, we're seeing these high-level operations. There was another one in uh California, I believe. This guy was selling secrets to Iran. He's running a tech company. We're seeing more and more of that. We didn't see that during the last administration. Because the A, they didn't care. Maybe they facilitated, maybe they didn't. They certainly knew. This is not hard stuff. But now you've got this Pulte guy. Who, as this assessment says, knows all these financial transactions. And now he gets to have access to phone calls and all kinds of different things. I'm not a big fan of spying on anybody. No, I don't like it. But if you're corrupt, well then yeah, you need to be looked at. You know as well as I do in this day and age, we're all being looked at. It doesn't make it right, but it's true. Now, if you're basically a pretty decent person and you're following the law and you're not trying to scam the government, there's no interest in you. Again, that doesn't make me feel comfortable that we're all being looked at, but the genie's been let out of the bottle years ago. I mean, you can go all the way back to the Telecommunications Act in the 40s. They had access to our phones back then. Look it up. It's true. So, what are they saying? Well, here's this guy. Uh, Senate Democrats are moving to have leader Jonathan, who might do it because he's force out Bill Poulte as Trump's new director of national intelligence. Mark Warner's one of the Dems, terrified of Poulte overseeing the intelligence agencies. Seems like they view him as a threat. That's how it's by the reactions that you can tell these things. That's that to me signals maybe this is a good guy. If we listen, I have said it, I don't know, since almost the beginning of this show. And it's not anything new, but if the right people hate you, and you know what I mean, you're probably the right guy for the job. Or gal. So, for example, here it is. This Mark Warner guy. Listen, listen to what he says. And it's just telling. Ah. Sorry. I had a Liz moment. I hit the wrong button. All right, here we go.
SPEAKER_14What's a target of the administration is getting the American dream back on track after four years of Joe Biden destroying the housing market. The good news is we have a builder-in-chief, not just a commander in chief. Oh, this is Bill Pulte. I'm sorry, not Mark Warner. Okay, listen. What's a target of the administration is getting the American dream back on track after four years of Joe Biden destroying the housing market. The good news is we have a builder-in-chief, not just a commander-in-chief. He understands the real estate market, he understands the importance of keeping home prices high, but at the same time making it so that way people can finally afford a home again. You know, during Biden's term of four years, you had massive inflation, mortgage rates went through the roof, nobody could afford a home, and the only people who could afford a home were these big corporations with balance sheets. So it's time that corporations stop owning these homes and people start owning and living in these homes as nature intended.
SPEAKER_16So there you go. That's Bob Holte. I thought that that was gonna be Mark Warner. Mark Warner is his comments were just that I will make sure that Thune forces them out. So it either could never come to a vote. I mean, who knows? Yes, Lee the Concrete Guy and the budget blinds tax line. Why do we have 18 national intelligence agencies? The government is big, bloated, and out of control. Totally agree with you. But because it is so big, it will take more than just one election and 90 days or 100 days or even 200 days to downsize it. And that is something that they're doing. I truly believe that. They have done it in the FBI. They have they've set traps. Bon Gino said it. We we've played that clip where he said, Oh, we would absolutely set little traps and see who was leaking it and who they were leaking it to. And none of it was true. It was just, you know, little innocuous stuff like, hey, we're gonna do this over here, and then see who leaked it. And then oh, he's not one of us. Bye-bye. It takes time. You gotta find who these people are. Many of these people have been operating in the shadows, and it's not it's not some you know, Hollywood novel, but it's true. It is all convoluted, it is all murky, especially when you get to intelligence agencies. So I from what I read, like I said, I think he's probably gonna be the right guy. And it makes sense with that assessment that I read to you from that account on X. I don't know who he is, but it makes sense. All the right people are mad, and this guy has access to all kinds of information that really nothing against us, but it's against these people that we elect, and we know they're dirty. We can feel it. Something as simple as, you know, this mortgage fraud stuff, all this weird, this insider trading stuff that goes on that's still legal for them, but not us. I mean, all that weird stuff that gives you, as Liz would say, the ick. The the murky us murkiness of the of the cesspool that is DC. Right. So if he's the guy now to come in and clean it up, great! I'm all for it. All right, so here's a guy who's for his uh uh representative Marlon Stutzman. Where is he from? I want to make sure I get it. He is a Republican in Indiana. Indiana, here's what he's saying about Pulte.
SPEAKER_07This is gonna be a Senate decision, of course. But uh, you know, one of the things that we know when it comes to housing, there's great demand here in the United States. Uh I hear from a lot of home builders and other builders that they need, you know, the uh the support of the federal government with less regulation. And so somebody from the industry, I think, makes a lot of sense. And so I'm I'm open to definitely hearing more of those uh reasons why he should be the next uh secretary.
SPEAKER_16So there you go. I mean, he's open to it. That's good. We'll see where it goes. But it is interesting that the guy who has access to so many financial records across the nation now has access to everything, all the intelligence agencies. That's how you clean out the swamp, basically. Yeah, essential deplorable. As we know from previous news cycles, many of these people, and that's on both sides of the aisle, have issues with being honest on loan applications. Yes, that's right. I mean, if you can't be honest there and you're you're fudging things here and there just to make it either more profitable or easier or whatever it is for yourself, and you're in charge of lawmaking for the country, that's not that's not good. And no, you shouldn't be in office. And apparently, as we found out, elections are not cleaning these things up. I mean, term limits. Again, I've never been a term limit guy. I always felt term limits were the ballot box every November. But that's not working out for us. Example, see California. They're talking 10, possibly 15 days now to figure this out. And it makes you wonder, Steve Hilton in the bluest of blue. And I got a great commentary from Trace Gallagher, who does the common sense department, uh, Fox and the Overnight. Great commentary on that. Also, Glenn Beck talking about voting in California. I think we need to address that. All of this could have been solved, but here we go with that name again, or that that term rather, Rhinos, Thune, and the rest of them. It's just, it's ridiculous. So we'll try to fit some of those clips in before we get to the uh end of the hour. This is the Liz Calloway show. Morning to you. Liz off. I'm in. Here we go. Alright, so here's the deal. President Trump tweeted out or truth doubt, and then it was reposted by Rapid Response. Uh, that account on X that we reference quite a bit. He says there's big cheating by the Democrats in California. Votes are all tied up, may not be in for weeks. Here's the part. Under investigation by the U.S. Attorney's Office in Los Angeles, why the vote counting delay? President DJT. Uh others have commented, so you know, it appears California counted zero votes today. This was yesterday. So typical, just like 2020. California is blatantly cheating and they don't care that we know. That's because the GOP is weak. We know it, they know it. If California is incapable of counting ballots 24 hours after an election, the Fed should step in. Ridiculous. I agree. But their whole thing is, well, no, it's it's the mail-in votes. We've got to wait for all them to come in. And those always favor the Democrats. So they wait till the election is done and then they see how many votes they need. Look how close it was. It was really a really considering close race for the mayor in Los Angeles. There's no way that that guy, I mean, it is so it you don't get any bluer than the heart of Los Angeles. And for him to come within, you know, what was it, seven points, Spencer Pratt of Mayor Bass? That's that's huge. And Trace Gallagher had some commentary last night. Listen.
SPEAKER_03Well, the Fox News and that common sense department thinks there is a reckoning at hand. Democrats' command of California remains vast, but there is also no doubt the big blue monster is developing a nasty red rash, experiencing the kind of inflammation the liberal machine has not seen in years with no remedy in sight. Suddenly it appears that in his run for governor, far-left Democrat Javier Becerra will now have to fend off Republican Steve Hilton, along with Hilton's pesky policies. And Mayor Bass will likely have to stand her ground against the reality of Spencer Pratt and his AI superhero status. Not only will Becerra and Bass have to come up with policies, they'll have to defend those policies and debate those policies. Bob Dylan would caution the times they are changing. Common sense would remind you, Democrats have run the Golden State for two decades, controlling virtually every major office, every major decision. And when things go wrong, the buck just keeps on trucking. But while the buck didn't stop here, the voters did.
SPEAKER_16That is an excellent point. How long can they continue to fail without repercussions? More on the other side.
SPEAKER_15Stand by this is 94.5 WTKN Pearl's Emlet Purple Beach. Now on 106.794 CW Lawrence and 1240 AM WLSQ Lawrence.
