SPEAKER_08 3:03

Yes. Okay, got it. So I'm coming in with uh Christian, the intern, and his girlfriend Marilyn, but he doesn't know that yet because he was so disappointed that I took off for his visit. Oh man, I wanted to take Marilyn in to see the radio station. I guess he must have told her, you know, all about it while he was here because they were dating back then. So we're gonna come uh nine o'clock on Thursday, get a recap from what's happened um in the last uh year. And also, um, by the way, uh Dr. Falk will be in at 9 30. And so um I need to do that interview with him. So I'll be here for one hour on Thursday.

SPEAKER_03 3:41

Yeah, that's the schedule I like. I'll work one day this week, it'll be for an hour and then woo, I'm tired.

SPEAKER_08 3:49

Uh so I was looking at the weather, just just a slight chance of rain, but it's gonna be super hot. Super hot. 90s. Oh, yeah. Um I hit 90. Yeah, 90. All right. So, how many of you um went to C CMF? How many of you know someone that was scammed uh with these tickets, this ticket situation? Listen, it was pretty crowded. It was like 33,000 people there one night. My wife went on Saturday. How was it? She said it was good. Yeah? Yeah.

unknown 4:20

Okay.

SPEAKER_03 4:20

She had fun.

SPEAKER_08 4:21

Well, I mean, they have it down to a science now, which is great.

SPEAKER_03 4:23

She just went to see the one headliner and came home.

SPEAKER_08 4:26

Who was it? Uh Blake Shelton?

SPEAKER_03 4:28

Yeah, that's it. Yes, yes, that's it. She likes him.

SPEAKER_08 4:31

He liked he did you hear what he said about Luke Bryan? Yes. I posted it on my Twitter.

SPEAKER_03 4:36

I asked her because I saw some stuff also online, too. People were saying, Oh, can you believe what he said? And Luke Bryan is known as a party guy, but how much of that is Well, I don't know.

SPEAKER_08 4:46

He mentioned certain drugs that he was on. I mean, is are they just busting on each other?

SPEAKER_03 4:52

See, we don't know. And Luke Bryan has been known to be a party guy. For I asked my wife. She's like a country fan. She goes, Oh, yeah, he's you know, party guy, drinks a lot on stage and everything, blah, blah, blah. Um, but how much of that is what sort of cultivated? An act. Right. Here's here's how here's what I'll tell you. Back in the 80s, back before even I was touring, a lot of these bands would wind up on stage with the you know copious amounts of Jack Daniels, and then it was revealed later. Many of those bottles were filled with iced tea.

SPEAKER_08 5:22

Yep. Somebody to make it look like that. Some girl was singing, um, and someone threw a mini bottle of something, and she just downed it, and then she started like coughing. And I'm thinking to myself, I would never drink anything that anybody throws up on the stage.

SPEAKER_03 5:37

I mean, if it's sealed, maybe, but still, I don't know. I wouldn't I wouldn't do it.

SPEAKER_08 5:42

But he I mean, I don't know. I'm just maybe an old funny daddy.

SPEAKER_03 5:46

The only times I would take drinks free from anybody if we were playing a smaller club like is if the waitress delivered it.

SPEAKER_08 5:52

Exactly.

SPEAKER_03 5:53

Then it's fine.

SPEAKER_08 5:54

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 5:54

Yeah. But if somebody just hands me something, I don't know if they just peed in it or who knows? You know, put something weird. Next thing I know, I'm flying off the top of a building going, I can fly. I mean, I'm not trying.

SPEAKER_08 6:06

Who knows? Who knows Randy? I don't know. That's that's I I heard you're gonna be. That's the guy.

SPEAKER_04 6:10

Um that apparently everyone knows Randy, isn't it?

SPEAKER_08 6:13

Everybody knows Randy, right? Uh Randy, he made local news. Uh Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evitt, was she on there two nights or one night? Um I don't I'm not sure. Uh but Randy apparently it was like a big deal. Uh this this guy, here it is right here, but I can't play it because it's expletive that he's probably saying. But he's drinking this tequila bottle, right? And then he hands it to Randy to give it back to this guy, and this guy just chugs. It was only like half a bottle of tequila at that point.

SPEAKER_04 6:49

Um well, maybe his beard is crazy. It is.

SPEAKER_08 6:54

He looks like Z Z Top Nick. Um I don't know. I literally would have died of alcohol poisoning if that was me.

SPEAKER_03 7:05

Uh Julie just popped into the budget blind text line and said he made Australian news.

unknown 7:10

He did.

SPEAKER_08 7:12

Let me tell you something. There was a lot of news made on the stage. I mean, um, there were people, I think I can't remember which artist, but he was just raving about the Myrtle Beach audience. He was just saying how much he loves to be here performing in front of our crowd. So uh, and I I think it did it did it go off okay. I mean, one time we had a shooting outside the grounds there.

SPEAKER_03 7:36

I heard nothing about it.

SPEAKER_08 7:37

I heard nothing about it. I mean, I live down the block and I didn't even notice. Like if if I didn't know it was happening, I wouldn't even known it was happening.

SPEAKER_03 7:47

You know you have a successful event when you've got the artists themselves rearrange their schedule a year ahead of time to make sure they have openings for that. And that's what a lot do. They they do like coming here. Uh Lisa the football mom said her son Jack and his girl Bree went all four days. Had a great time, been going the last three years. So all right.

SPEAKER_08 8:07

So here here's Randy pulling off the boots of this woman who's singing, and then they do some kind of boot chug. She tells him to pull off her boots, and then she tries to get you need like one of those boot things. I have one of those boot things where you like uh seals or no, you jam the heel, the back of your heel in there and you pull your boot out. Yeah. Um, but yeah, you need that to get those boots off.

SPEAKER_03 8:29

But anyway Someone said to me, uh I think it was when I was seeing some of that reports there from the Luke Bryan and Blake Shelton kind of thing, whether it was staged or poking fun of each other. They said the only bad thing about the CCMF here is you walk around, it's like cosplay. Everybody's all of a sudden got the country.

SPEAKER_08 8:49

And I get it, you dress up for the thing. Like Coachella. You know, you get you have to have an outfit every night.

SPEAKER_03 8:54

But it's like some of the real diehard country fans are like, oh, please.

SPEAKER_08 8:58

Oh, you mean like they're like fake country fans?

SPEAKER_03 9:00

Yeah, I'm just repeating what I was reading. They said it's too cosplay now, it's gotten too stupid.

SPEAKER_04 9:05

Yeah, but everybody's gonna have that opinion if you love something with your whole heart. You know, like I know, I know, I know. Everyone's gonna be the biggest fan of something. And if one person is like, oh, I haven't listened to that Luke Bryant song, but shows up in a cowboy hat, there's gonna be someone who's like, I've listened to every song. I own everything, I'm physical of his, bought him in the iTunes store, everything.

SPEAKER_08 9:24

You're no bigger fan than me. Yeah. Or is it then I? Um, but I mean, I am telling you I mean, some of the outfits are barely there. If you're talking about girls. Um, but you know what? That's that's a festival concert. So yeah, if you got it, flaunt it. If you got it in your closet, wear it. Have a good time. Uh that's what it's all about.

SPEAKER_03 9:48

I guess it was red, white, and blue night on Saturday with Blake Shelton. So I got my wife this really cool dress that's like stars and stripes all over it. And she goes, That's the perfect time to wear it. And she wore it and she looked really good. Oh, good. So she had a nice time. She only went and saw the one show. So I'm running around the house with babies and waah! Nah, it's fine.

SPEAKER_08 10:07

Oh, stop your kid. I had we had fun. Yes. Well, I'm sure you could have played some country. There were a lot of kids there, you know. I mean, maybe one day Nicolina can go. She was probably begging to do it.

SPEAKER_03 10:21

She went one year. Oh I want to say last year, and they didn't have the upfront seats that they had this year. They had because a friend of hers had seats that were really and then you could hang back, and then it wasn't so crowded. Watch it on the video. Right. Yeah, and she really enjoyed it and she wanted to go this year. And mom's like, mm, we're more to the front where it's like these good thing because there was a lot of people pushing and shoving, and it just not in a mean way, but it was just very crowded.

SPEAKER_08 10:44

Yeah. And not conducive for a seven-year-old who's you know, that's it's um it's like a little unnerving sometimes because it's just too many people packed in like sardines. Yeah. And then you like, uh, I know how you know, I you can understand how it ends up like people start pushing and then you uh scary.

SPEAKER_04 11:02

It's like claustrophobic at times too, except every the walls around you are alive and you're pushing against you.

SPEAKER_08 11:08

Against the uh the uh whatchamacallits uh bike racks. Uh yeah, I don't like it. But anyway, um, but it looks like everybody had a really great time, and so I'm glad to hear that it went off without a hitch. Unfortunately, we lost a motorcyclist who was uh running from the police on Highway 501. This happened at 2 a.m. Uh let me see, which morning was it? Sunday morning.

SPEAKER_03 11:33

I think it was Sunday morning. If not, it was I don't know. Yeah, yeah, early yesterday morning around 210 a.m. So it was left over from Friday uh Saturday night.

SPEAKER_08 11:40

I don't know who the motorcyclist was.

SPEAKER_03 11:43

They did not release.

SPEAKER_08 11:44

But apparently uh they were speeding on Highway 501 north, um, and the cop, the trooper, tried to stop them.

SPEAKER_03 11:54

High rate of speed, yep.

SPEAKER_08 11:56

And uh the motorcyclist failed to pull over, which resulted in a pursuit and the death of the motorcyclist on highway 548 as they went from the Myrtle Beach area into Conway and the person ran into a ditch. I despise these um police chases. I think it it risks so many lives. Um and you know, I know it depends on the time of day and the location, but you know, poor some unsuspecting person, citizen coming across the street, driving across, you know, you're just gonna get hit by someone who's desperately trying to, you know, flee the police. Now you put that person on a motorcycle, that is probably almost always certain death for that motor. The motorcyclist is never gonna get away. And it's almost certain death.

SPEAKER_03 12:46

What did you say that you they have this GPS tag thing that they can do with cars?

SPEAKER_08 12:50

Yeah, I see.

SPEAKER_03 12:51

I wonder if they could apply that to a motorcycle as well and just wait till they get home somewhere and then Yeah, I mean you'd have to be a good shot. I guess. You know. Good point.

SPEAKER_08 12:58

Um, but yeah, there's uh a new technology out that some police departments are using where the cop can shoot a GPS dart at the vehicle and it sticks to the vehicle somehow. And uh yeah, we'll go we'll go pick them up later, which is safer for everybody involved.

SPEAKER_04 13:16

It's probably easier to hit a car than a motorcycle with a lot of people.

SPEAKER_08 13:18

I would say so, yeah. But I mean, unless that person is a known murderous person, why are we chasing them? If you know that person committed murder, who cares, right? I I mean I wouldn't care if he died um running from police. But if you don't if this guy's just speeding, why are we running him down into the ditch to his death? Is that punishable by death?

SPEAKER_04 13:42

It was 2 a.m. as well, so I don't know how busy the roads would have been. I mean not to say not much. I don't know. I'm I'm not a cop. I have no idea how the escalation of that conversation is.

SPEAKER_08 13:51

Well, you know, there's there's rules. There's a lot of rules and parameters about police chases, and troopers are different than Ori County, and Ori County's different than the deputies, and deputies are different than the city officers, so everybody has a different protocol. And um I know there's protocols in the city of Myrtle Beach because of speed limits and all that, but uh uh and and the density of the population, but I mean this is ridiculous. Why is this person dying? I mean, lots of us have sped, but we don't flee the police, you know what I mean? Fleeing the police is not punishable by death. And if you're chasing a motorcyclist, it's certain death. I don't know of anybody who hasn't died fleeing from a cop on a motorcycle.

SPEAKER_03 14:38

What I'm trying to figure out. When did people start thinking that I can get away with this? Oh, I'll go faster.

SPEAKER_08 14:46

When did they start thinking this? It's the beginning of time.

SPEAKER_03 14:48

No, no, no, no, I understand that. But when when did at some point in time with today's technology ninja bikes? Especially with today's technology, cameras everywhere, multiple, and communication with different law enforcement agencies. It's just stupid.

SPEAKER_08 15:04

You know what? The jails are full of stupid people. I guess so. People do stupid things because they just do. And there are a lot of stupid things we did when we were young, and it's shocking that we're even alive, let alone not arrested. Um, but I mean, seriously, I I don't know. I don't know if this guy did anything that was punishable by death.

SPEAKER_04 15:27

I I I mean the identity hasn't been revealed yet. No.

SPEAKER_08 15:31

And I don't know if he was doing anything else. Um, I don't know. He was high on drugs, drunk, maybe posed a threat to other people, but literally on a motorcycle. So I don't know. I I need the backstory, but we never get it. All right, it is 6.22. The Quintern is in the house. Oh, he's got an announcement. He's going somewhere special on Tuesday.

SPEAKER_04 15:56

It's true. The other day, uh, we were talking about the weird owl concert that's happening in North Charleston, featuring Puddle's Pity Party. And I just so happened to get tickets. My dad was listening in, and he said he was like, Wow, that was a great segment. Let's take all of our family to go and see it. So I was like, okay, so uh I'm gonna have Come Wednesday, an update about the concert happening tomorrow. I love it.

SPEAKER_08 16:22

That is so awesome.

SPEAKER_04 16:23

I'm looking forward to hearing your full report.

SPEAKER_08 16:25

Yeah, and some bootleg audio. Isn't that cool? Quinter. That's uh like a drone of drone show.

SPEAKER_04 16:36

Is that at CCMF?

SPEAKER_08 16:37

CCMF, yeah. Oh my god.

SPEAKER_13 16:44

This song's perfect, ready I want to be elected.

SPEAKER_02 16:56

Elected from Alice Cooper.

SPEAKER_08 16:58

It's great.

SPEAKER_02 16:59

The whole song is great.

SPEAKER_08 17:00

It's perfect to play that. I mean, I've been hearing all these ridiculous commercials. Uh I wish there was truth in advertising when it actually matters. Like, you know, you know, when when a when a um a skincare lotion says it reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, it means that it really doesn't actually reduce your wrinkles. It just reduces the quote unquote appearance. So there has to be truth in advertising. Right.

SPEAKER_03 17:30

Or a supplement will make you feel this way. They go, or kill cancer. Right. It has not been evaluated by the blah blah blah blah blah. Yeah. But the politicians did this one thing, and holy smokes. And it's like, really? Did he really? And then you find out no, he actually didn't. The one that really got me, and this is not me stumping for anybody, but it got me because then I researched it and it's true. When they said in that anti or that attack Rom Reddy had that he paid some amount of a huge amount of money to this really weird lefty museum, and it's like, that's not even me.

SPEAKER_08 18:01

And that he's a New Yorker. He's not even a New Yorker.

SPEAKER_03 18:04

He never lived in New York, and that was a different Rom Reddy. He goes, I paid money to a museum once, and it was the Ronald Reagan museum. And I looked it up, and it's true. It was a wrong Rom Reddy, but they allowed, they're allowed to say it because hey, Rom Reddy did pay. Just not that one.

SPEAKER_08 18:19

Yeah, that reminds me of the Jeffrey Epstein donating to the campaign, but it was a Dr. Jeffrey Epstein.

SPEAKER_13 18:26

It's like stop it.

SPEAKER_08 18:27

Really the Jeffrey Epstein.

SPEAKER_04 18:29

It's got to be the worst name to have now. Just to be like, hi, I'm Dr. Jeff. Don't call me anything else.

SPEAKER_13 18:36

I'd rather change my name to Frankenstein. Yes. I'm Dr. Jeff Frankenstein.

SPEAKER_08 18:41

Oh my God. I know. Like that's when they said, you know, they make make your name Mud. His name is Mud. That was because of uh Abraham Lincoln, right? Was that the I think so? Was that Abraham Lincoln? M-U-D-D. Right. And then you couldn't be named anybody named Mudd. Do you did you learn that in school?

SPEAKER_10 18:59

No.

SPEAKER_08 18:59

Oh yeah. So so when someone says, what's the what's the okay?

SPEAKER_03 19:04

Here it says your name is Mud. Your name is Mud. Yeah, it's discredited, unpopular, often incorrectly linked to Dr. Samuel Mudd. Oh, who treated, yeah, who treated Abraham Lincoln's assassin. It is actually a British slang term back uh dating back to 1823, derived from an old meaning of mud referring to a fool or stupid person. So that's interesting. I always thought it was Reagan. Lincoln. Sorry. I have Reagan on the brain. No, I so did I.

SPEAKER_08 19:33

I always thought it was because of that person. I just learned now. Yeah. Interesting. You learn something new every day. It's a myth. And what'sn't his name with two Ds?

SPEAKER_03 19:44

Yes. Dr. Samuel Mudd. And they call him.

SPEAKER_08 19:48

Because everybody hated him.

SPEAKER_03 19:49

Yeah, it was a Maryland physician who set the broken leg of President Lincoln's assassin, John Wilkes. Booth.

SPEAKER_04 19:55

Sounds like a name that you have to make up on the fly. Like you're asked to make up someone you're doing. Samuel Mudd. That's Dr. Samuel Mudd.

SPEAKER_08 20:01

Dr. Mudd. Right. I had a doctor once, and her name was Dr. Risk.

SPEAKER_04 20:06

I'm like, whoa.

SPEAKER_08 20:09

I said, I'm not really digging your last name, like Dr. Risk. Can we can we not? But she spelt it R-I-C-S-K. And I was like, yeah, I'm not the last that's the last name that I'd want. Dr. Risk.

SPEAKER_03 20:24

Dr. Risk.

SPEAKER_08 20:25

Dr. Risk. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 20:27

It's funny when uh Major League Baseball, when I watch like the highlight things and they always say the worst baseball names. You know, you got Balfour, like Balfour, and somebody Homer, and all these things that you don't want these names, you know, if you're a pitcher. Yeah. It's like, ah, yeah, it's funny.

SPEAKER_08 20:43

Yeah. Well, actually, the the woman who planned our entire wedding at the Hilton Myrtle Beach, her name was Kim Love. Isn't that so cool? I was like, you're in the perfect business. That's a good business. Now that's a good name. Yeah, she was so nice.

SPEAKER_03 20:56

Hey, uh, Adot just popped in on the uh budget blinds text line. Very interesting. Fun fact I went to Dr. Mudd Elementary School when I lived in Maryland. Whoa.

unknown 21:06

Huh.

SPEAKER_03 21:07

Who knew? Who knew?

SPEAKER_08 21:09

They actually named the school after him? I'm surprised they didn't cancel him out.

SPEAKER_04 21:12

Well, they have a class where they set broken legs. Stop in elementary school.

SPEAKER_08 21:18

Come on. It's a good skill to have. Like they they teach kids in Chicago how to dress bullet wounds so that their friends don't bleed out. Oh, for the same thing. That's that's a gosh. Yeah, they that's that's part of health class. Everyone needs to know how to stop bleeding.

SPEAKER_03 21:35

The uh the meme I just saw. Super excited about Amateur Autopsy Club. I just joined. Tuesday is open mic night.

SPEAKER_08 21:42

Open mic.

SPEAKER_11 21:46

The Liz Callaway show with Nick Summers. Mickey Grand Street Morning Radio. Great. Don't laugh. Back in a bit.

SPEAKER_08 21:52

Stop laughing. Oh my goodness. Hey, listen, pain is no laughing matter, and Dr. Fall can help you get rid of. Of the pain. And the real the real reason why is because he helps you figure out where that pain source is coming from. And when you figure that out, you can get back into alignment, you can get the massage therapy you need, or even regenerative cell treatment. Now, a chiropractic consultation could include an x-ray, which is so important to see what is going on between your joints, um, between your vertebrae, see your hip, see your knee. And a lot of times people are told, oh, I'm boon, I'm boon. But the x-rays reveal there's plenty of cartilage there for you to try regenerative cell treatment so your cartilage can regrow and grow and grow over time. And many people, after the first injection, they get themselves out of pain. Yeah. So if you want to find out more about regenerative cell treatment, vitamin injections, IV therapy, any of those things, or chiropractic therapy, uh, just go online, go to Falkfamily Total Health.com, and when you call them to make an appointment, all you have to do is mention the Liz Callaway show, and you will get a gift card towards a consultation. Go to Falk Family Total Health.com.

SPEAKER_01 23:10

From the WMBF Newsroom, I'm Lauren Korn, a trailer full of trash caught on fire in the Green Sea area. Ori County Fire arrived to the trailer Sunday night on Olive Drive and put out the flames before they could spread to other buildings. Firefighters also worked a house fire in Carolina Forest. They responded to Walkerton Road Sunday morning. After a fire broke out in Mulch, the flames only damaged the outside of the house. Luckily, no one was hurt. Two acres of woods caught on fire in Ory County. The Forestry Commission and police helped firefighters Sunday afternoon to put out the flames near Ronald McNair Boulevard. The fire did not threaten any buildings. A chase in Ory County ended in a deadly crash. Deputies say a trooper trying to stop a speeding biker on Highway 501 toward Conway early Sunday morning. The biker then turned onto 548, ran off the road, and crashed into a ditch near Revis Way. They died at the scene. The driver's name has not been released. From the WMBF Newsroom, I'm Lauren Korn.

SPEAKER_00 24:09

The Liz Callaway Show with Nick Summers is coming back. This is Mark Lynch. I'm not a career politician. I'm a businessman, a husband, a father, and a proud South Carolinian. I've spent my life raising a family, building a business, creating jobs, balancing budgets, and doing what I said I would do. That's the kind of accountability we need in Washington. I'm running for the United States Senate because South Carolina deserves a senator who answers to the people, not the lobbyist, not the special interest, and definitely not the Washington establishment. I'll fight to stop reckless spending, defend the Second Amendment, protect all life, support the America First Agenda, and prioritize South Carolina's families again. This is the final week, and your vote matters. The politicians and insiders are counting on you to stay home. Don't give them that chance. Vote Mark Lynch for United States Senate on June 9th. I'm Mark Lynch and I approve this message.

SPEAKER_05 25:12

Paid for and authorized by Lynch for Senate.

SPEAKER_12 25:14

SPEAKER_05 28:45

It's election 2026 in South Carolina. Who you got? Text in on the Budget Blinds Text Line 843798 Talk.

SPEAKER_02 28:54

Decision 2026, the primaries with the Liz Callaway Show and Nick Summers.

SPEAKER_08 29:05

It is 642 on the Liz Callaway Show with Nick Summers. And listen, we have a show today that has two candidates. One is a GOP candidate for Senate, Patrick Herman. He's running against Lindsey Graham and Mark Lynch. And we also have the GOP gubernatorial candidate, Rom Reddy, joining us. Um, and we're also uh asking for you to stump for your candidate. The budget blinds text line is open. It's the no judgment zone. We're just going to read it. And I will try not to comment. Right.

SPEAKER_03 29:41

Keep it short. Do what Bill O'Reilly used to say. Short and pithy.

SPEAKER_08 29:45

Yes, 843-798 TALK 798-8255. We'd love to hear from you with your comments, or you could go on to our Facebook uh page and uh comment there because I did put a stump for your candidate. I did get one person.

SPEAKER_03 30:03

You did a really good job on those graphics. You like them? Both of those things. Yeah, I loved it. I loved it.

SPEAKER_08 30:08

I didn't do it. Um yeah, ChatGPT did it. Whatever.

SPEAKER_03 30:12

I mean, hey, you still had to input the info.

SPEAKER_08 30:16

I did.

SPEAKER_03 30:17

And the info used the idea. To input and the idea, coupled with both of those things. The output was amazing.

SPEAKER_08 30:25

So we got a couple of comments here. One was from my aunt who sent me a heart. Uh second one is uh I'm Thomas Desmukes, a South Carolina husband, father of five, conservative and Republican. He is uh U.S. Senate candidate running for a on the free platform, fiscal responsibility, restore, I guess they are, restore law and order, E. Empower citizens in economic growth, and E, end government overreach. If you want to find out more information, go to Thomas J Smukes, D-I-S-M-U-K-E-S. I don't think he has a snowball chance. Um, but you know, Lindsey Graham is kind of I don't know if what how he's doing in the polls, but I don't even know if I trust any polls anymore. The only challenger really is um that's a real strong competitor, is Mark Lynch.

SPEAKER_03 31:21

I saw a poll this weekend, just for example, for reference, that had Nancy Mace beating everybody at 23%. Yeah. And then I saw another one that had Alan Wilson with those same percentages and Nancy Mace all the way down the bottom. Then I saw another one that had current Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evet leading with Alan Wilson second and Rom Reddy third. And it's like what is this? Yeah, what poll? I I'm just I'm real suspect. We've always taken polls with a grain of salt, unless it's like really obvious. Like somebody has like got 90%. Well, good bet that they're in the lead somewhere, somehow. But these that have them completely reversed, you know, you got somebody who's I don't know, a couple polls got them down around 12%, and one poll magically has them at 23%. It's like, what's going on?

SPEAKER_08 32:08

You know, it there's just a lot of lying going on, and it's really driving me crazy. And I can't wait till this is over. And you know what I you know what drives me crazy when people say, Oh, I really like this candidate, they're really nice, genuine. I'm like, I don't know if that matters.

SPEAKER_03 32:30

I really don't you and I have often said about certain candidates. Hey, take the politics out, really nice person. Nice person. We've said that about quite a few of them.

SPEAKER_08 32:39

Personally, yeah. You could have them over for dinner, say hi to them at church. Yes. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 32:44

But do I want them leaving our city-state country? No.

SPEAKER_08 32:49

No, exactly. Um, so I don't know. Did you decide who you were voting for, Quinter? You don't have to tell us, but I'm just asking. Have you made decisions? Have you tried to pay attention or yes I have.

SPEAKER_04 33:00

I've been tuning in much more since our last talk. And after looking up, um I think something I found very interesting is that a lot of the people running on both sides, I had uh taking a look at the whole ballot, especially for governor, not many people laying out actual policies or game plans on their own official websites.

SPEAKER_08 33:23

People just Well, I know Rom Reddy has a 12-page newsletter.

SPEAKER_04 33:27

Rom R Rom Reddy, I was about to say, is one of the only people I looked up who was actually quite prepared. In fact, one thing that I really applaud him on, because I was right there whenever the interview you did with him happened. Yeah. In his limited time, one of the big things that he spoke out against that I'm also very against, are data centers being built. Um which not a lot of people are taking a firm stance on as it's becoming a larger and larger issue.

SPEAKER_08 33:58

You know, it's interesting that you should say that because I'm the kind of person that and I get the whole data center thing where they say, Hey, the first one was built in Virginia. It has a lot of um uh it takes a lot of the energy, puts stress on energy, they have to have their own energy source. It it heats up the water, it uses a lot of water, it heats up the ground, it causes vibration and humming that drives people mad.

SPEAKER_03 34:25

Thank you. There are some people that claim that they're driven nuts by the And they were humming and rumbling, whatever it is.

SPEAKER_08 34:32

Yeah, actually there was a guy who used to message me all the time, and he lived um, I want to say in Carolina Forest area, and he was complaining about some electric plant that drove him and his wife mad. Um I I remember this story when I first moved here, and I was like, I don't even know where Carolina Forest is at the time. It seems so far away. Um, everybody's packed. It's packed.

SPEAKER_04 34:58

So wasteland. No one lives out there.

SPEAKER_08 35:00

But anyway, I I mean he was telling me about this the humming of something. I can't remember what it was. But anyway, um, you know, Kevin O'Leary, that's his specialty is data centers. He has turned his entire industry on that. And have you heard anything that he's been saying lately?

SPEAKER_04 35:16

Yes. Oh my god. Okay. Oh my gosh, haven't I?

SPEAKER_08 35:18

What so does he have a point or what do you what have you heard?

SPEAKER_04 35:24

Well, Kevin O'Leary's uh big thing is making a uh data centers that are I think the specific one that he had pitched, gosh, where was it gonna be located? Utah. Utah was going to be thousands of acres, I believe. An insane, absolutely uh abysmally large uh center.

SPEAKER_10 35:45

Yeah.

SPEAKER_04 35:46

And the thing about data centers is that we've they've been around for a while. Like it's saying twenty years, twenty years because they started getting big whenever the internet got big, and data centers are pretty much just hosting grounds for any online service. Like Google has data centers, server centers, all of that. The difference is the newer data centers that are popping up are all being used to accommodate AI, large learning language models, which take up way more resources because the way that they're structured is not as efficient. They have to work harder to get the results. Because if you go into Google and if you were to type in uh what is uh the list of all presidents in order, click you would be taken to websites that have all the lists of presidents.

SPEAKER_08 36:42

You would get uh instead of just giving you the information.

SPEAKER_04 36:46

Because the information that's given to you has to be stored. It is compiled by multiple websites in an in an instant compiled and that's the difference. Yes, so all of that energy is being used up because it takes a lot less energy to show you things that you can read yourself versus having to write, sort, and compile all of that into one go. And it makes people a lot of money, like Kevin O'Leary. But the problem I have is that now we're starting to see it like in that Virginia town. People are having to foot the bill on that, not the companies, because it is going off of their power grid. And uh as the power is being used up by them, it gets more expensive for all the other people that have to now share it with these data centers. And it wasn't as much of a problem when it was the Google stu uh data centers and everything, when it was services that we can uh uh use more efficiently. But now that AI is still continuing to get bigger, I but I'm worried about how it might be affecting the average person.

SPEAKER_08 37:43

Well, I d I just want to play for you this little clip here um uh about this because that's a really big topic in South Carolina. And there was supposed to be a moratorium, and there was like I think briefly, but then they started popping up again. We have one down in the Market Common area. Uh it's very small, and I believe they have their own electric source or energy source. And what Kevin O'Leary is saying is that the CCP is telling us a whole boatload of lies so that Americans will shut down our AI data center production to put us behind them. And it's a it's a it's a psyop.

SPEAKER_03 38:27

Well, Glenn Beck was on this, somebody just tweeted in. It's this guy, this uh this billionaire guy, he is the one that's putting out and paying for all this bad press in data. Yes, thank you. Yeah. In data centers. So we slow down a bit and let China catch up because we're really far ahead of them in AI.

SPEAKER_08 38:44

Exactly. And that's what Kevin O'Leary is basically saying. Let me just play this little clip. Uh, this was Jake Tapper in Kevin O'Leary, Mr. Wonderful.

SPEAKER_07 38:53

I mean you're not walking away from the data center. You are looking for a way to scale it down, but not 75%. Is that right?

SPEAKER_06 39:00

Yeah, this is the Adams Letter. I brought it with me. Uh 901, Monday morning, it went around the world, including all of the people financing this, a $15 billion project, in addition to the engineering architectural firms. But he did it for political reasons. I understand why he did it. In real estate, you would never give your partner 75% haircut. That's impossible. You can't take a building. It's like selling me a house and telling me I can live in the second floor toilet. It doesn't work. We I understand why he did it, and he has a list of grievances and concerns. I have to address these personally now, and I've told the uh Tribune in Salt Lake City and the local affiliate there, the ABC affiliate, I will respond to this letter by Friday morning. I've had my engineers, the architects, we will address these concerns because it's my best interest to do that. The people there have been fed so much propaganda and misinformation, including this narrative about the levels in the Great Salt Lake. The water on this property has nothing to do with Great Salt Lake, and we're not even planning to use that much of it at the end of the day. But we've decided to address this issue and maybe give some of that water to the Great Salt Lake. It's Josh Romney, Mitt Romney's son, who's taken on that mandate to raise the level. We'll work with him, we'll work with every whoever we have to. But this is just one microcosm of what's going on all around the country on data centers, as you're well aware.

SPEAKER_07 40:18

Yeah. So um one of the things uh that's going on, I know you uh we I just read the story in Notice. Um, the chairman of the powerful Ways and Means Committee uh in the House uh is looking into right now, investigating whether or not there is foreign money, specifically Chinese money, funding some of these NGOs that are opposed to this data center and other data centers. Um and I guess the theory is the Chinese are trying to stop our progress so that they can shoot past us in the AI uh arms race.

SPEAKER_08 40:53

I wouldn't put it past them. So are we being fed propaganda? Are they more productive now and independent now and less damaging now? We are so we are constant advertising in general is propaganda. We are such an easily persuaded creature. We've talked about this so many times, Nick. That's why I wish there was truth in advertising for political campaigns. I wish there was truth in advertising for all these talking pundits because we are hearing so many lies on a daily basis. So many lies. It's very frustrating.

SPEAKER_03 41:33

Because you and I have started going down the path and the journey to try to find truths out and different things. I have now, instead of having the knee-jerk reaction, which I was guilty of having previously, it's like, okay, who's you always say, who wrote the study?

SPEAKER_08 41:48

Yeah.

SPEAKER_03 41:49

You know, simply put.

SPEAKER_08 41:50

Yeah. So I'm Who's saying that they Right.

SPEAKER_03 41:54

I'm I'm not saying that they aren't annoying to the people that maybe live there. Maybe the solution is to move them more.

SPEAKER_08 41:59

Just tell me the truth.

SPEAKER_03 42:00

Right, but tell me. I just want to know the truth. Right.

SPEAKER_08 42:02

That's they don't employ many people. No, they don't. But it takes a lot of people to build them, so that will give some temporary jobs. So I am on the fence on that one. I'm not pro or I don't want it in my backyard. Or against.

SPEAKER_04 42:14

I mean, and that that's one of those things, too. Have you heard this pitch from the uh Sam Altman, I believe, to put home, small home data centers on every home in a certain community so they can foot the power bill. Uh data center boxes, yep.

SPEAKER_03 42:29

I haven't heard that one. I do like Elon Musk's idea, though.

SPEAKER_08 42:32

What's that?

SPEAKER_03 42:33

Put them all out in space in a satellite.

SPEAKER_08 42:35

Yeah. Nancy Mace mentioned that at the debate. Yeah, that's true. But all right, let's take a break. We'll be back.
