Transcript

SPEAKER_07 0:00

So I got in this morning and I'm like, oh crap. Why isn't gonna be here today? Yeah, well, she'll be in at like at nine. Uh she's got some family coming in from Chicago. I believe they're gonna make their uh their appearance. Uh I think she's bringing them all in, right? Yeah, I think so. At nine. So she'll be in. We'll hang out with them. We'll talk to them a little bit, and then she's gonna stick around for the uh interview that we do once a month with Dr. Falk. Yes. So there we go. What's that, uh Bob the Turf guy? Uh never watched a World Cup match in my 68.9 years. Yeah. I'm not I'm not a big soccer fan, although my daughter told me uh yesterday. Are you signing me up for soccer this fall? I say, yep. If that's what you want to do, no problem. So it's corn on the cob day, also German chocolate cake day. And hot day. I mean, it's summer at the beach. We're gonna see temps. It's it's gonna feel like over a hundred. So stay hydrated or stay inside or whatever it is. I feel bad for the people that have to work outside when it gets this hot. It's like, ooh, I don't know if I can handle it. I mean, I'm too I got that Swedish blood in me. Know what I mean? So we got a bunch of things happening. I'm not really sure where we should start today. It's a 605 hour, so it's kind of foot loose and fancy-free, right? Yeah. But I'm I'm looking at my list of things to discuss. And, you know, I think maybe we could start with uh some of the local things or at least the statewide things with the governor race. WIS had a great uh uh breakdown, and I want to read to you something that I saved when I when I'm uh, you know, as I'm headed off to bed around six o'clock. Yeah, I know. I gotta go to bed early, I get in here at two, or get up at two anyway. Uh and and I found this breakdown, it's like uh the post-mortem of what exactly happened uh with some of the elections here in South Carolina. I thought I'd share it with you and see where you guys fall. If you you agree with this individual or not. I don't know who he is, uh, but they wrote this really big uh, I guess you could say almost an article on X, and I thought, oh, I want to make sure I share that. And also Clandestine, who is like one of my favorite as far as uh politics, national politics, and things going on in the global stage. Lots of rumors on this clandestine individual. They claim that they're nobody, they're nothing, they're just a keen observer of things, but uh something tells me this individual has maybe prior intelligence experience. I I have no idea. But boy, does clandestine seem to always nail things and gets the bigger picture. And and I I appreciate the insights and uh and I will often go to that account just to like if I'm confused on something, it's like, well, maybe he's making sense or she on this uh what's happening. And and so I've got uh two of those two great posts, one dealing with South Carolina politics and the other one uh having to do with uh what's going on in Iran and Trump kind of dropped a little truth problem yesterday on the oil. I had no idea they were doing this, but it makes sense. So we'll cover all that, but uh we'll start here because uh it's official the debate. We kind of announced it yesterday as we were getting off the air that it was confirmed. Both will be in attendance, and what I'm talking about is the runoff election with the governor. You know, it'll be Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evett, our current lieutenant governor, and of course Alan Wilson, who's our current AG. So they're both already taking pot shots at one another, and they will be there for the debate, which will be held here. I think that's great at CCU. So, with more on that, WIS in the Greenville in in uh uh is it Columbia area? I where exactly is that station? I'll look that up while you listen to this. This is a great recap, if you will. Here you go.

SPEAKER_08 3:44

Hundreds of thousands of South Carolinians cast their vote in the 2026 primary election.

SPEAKER_05 3:49

Following record-breaking voter turnouts for a primary, there are some clear winners showing who will be on the November ballot. But a few races are headed to a runoff. The race for South Carolina's next governor is one of those races heading into a high-stake showdown.

SPEAKER_08 4:03

While Jermaine Johnson will represent the Democratic ticket, the Republican primary is heading to a runoff.

SPEAKER_05 4:08

And as State House reporter Steven Vidic shows us, that race between Lieutenant Governor Pamela Ebbett and Attorney General Alan Wilson is expected to draw plenty of attention over the next few weeks.

SPEAKER_10 4:19

After primary night, we have a much clearer picture of what the general election ballot will look like in November. But we have a runoff in the Republican primary for governor. We spoke with Pamela Evitt and Alan Wilson after their big nights and what their plans are for the next two weeks before the runoff.

SPEAKER_06 4:38

I'm a business person, not a career politician like my opponent. People aren't ready to trust her as governor.

SPEAKER_10 4:44

The Republican governor's race is down to two. Neither candidate topped 50% forcing a runoff.

SPEAKER_06 5:02

I'm going to run it like I ran my business. Where do I think that I get the best ROI? And I always felt it was being out there with the people. And obviously it showed rural areas came in very big for me because I went out there and talked to them.

SPEAKER_03 5:15

So when people hear my story, how I've left soldiers in combat, how I've led from the front, how I've recovered $2 billion for the state of South Carolina.

SPEAKER_10 5:28

Former candidates, Congresswoman Nancy Mace and State Senator Josh Kimbrell are backing Alan Wilson. Evit is leaning on endorsements from President Donald Trump and Governor Henry McMaster. The two are already trading jazz less than 24 hours after primary night.

SPEAKER_06 5:43

I'm the business choice. There are two now very clear paths. I'm the Donald Trump endorsed business person running to be governor. Or you have my opponent who's a career politician.

SPEAKER_03 5:55

It has been the event McMaster administration for the last eight years. So you've been in office for eight years, literally right there at the table with the governor, and none of this stuff got done. And now you're trying to convince people that you're now gonna do it.

SPEAKER_10 6:07

On the Democratic side, Jermaine Johnson dominated, winning by 30 points. He says he's running on kitchen table issues, roads, affordability, and safety. When asked how a Democrat can win the governor's seat for the first time since the late 90s, Johnson had this to say.

SPEAKER_07 7:51

So that's that. Liz and I are very excited. Nobody's letting us in anywhere. Even if we promise to be quiet, they'd be like, yeah, no. I think we can watch this thing online. I did find out WIS TV, which by the way is a partner station locally here to WMBF Sister Station, if you will, same company. I believe it's Gray Media. Uh they're located in Columbia. I always get confused. Columbia, Greenville, it's Columbia. So they they lean on one another for uh, you know, different news stories. Uh that's typical and understandable. And they do a good job. So that was a great report. Now, here's what I found yesterday. Sticking with South Carolina elections, I wanted to share this with you. I want to see what you think. Okay, this is from I found this account and I decided, oh, I gotta follow these people. This is great. They're called the Rhino Removal Project, and they've got probably 50,000 followers. It's great. Uh, in their bio, it says the Rhino Removal Project is an American grassroots organization on a mission to identify, educate, and organize people to successfully primary and remove rhinos. That's great. How did I not know about these people before? So the the headline of this big long, I guess, uh post-mortem type thing says, why Lindsey Graham won? As we stay here in South Carolina for what we're discussing now. It said last night, so they wrote this yesterday, Senator Lindsey Graham secured renomination with a 56.8 uh percent of the vote. That's 263 plus thousand votes, avoiding a runoff. Uh Mark Lynch finished second, and you had uh, let's see, Patrick Herman, Thomas Desmukes, Calvin Cohen, and that's I think the rest. Yeah, they all split the rest. Now many will point to the crowded field as a reason Graham prevailed. Now, on the outside, looking at us thinking, well, yeah. It was pretty crowded, and what if all those people added up? Maybe they could have toppled Graham or at least, you know, forced a runoff. Well, according to Rhino Removal Project, and I think this is really well thought out, and there's a lot of points that this individual makes. This wasn't a vote splitting decision. Graham with 56.8, all the other challengers combined, so it's math really, only got 43.2. Even if every anti-Gram vote had gone to a single challenger, Graham still won outright. The opposition never uh reached the threshold necessary to force that runoff. The challenge facing Graham's opponents was not a division within the field, it was the size of the field support. The real battle was lost before filing closed. Again, this is from this uh this group called the Rhino Removal Project. With Governor Henry McMaster term limited, South Carolina's open governor's race attracted much of the state's top political talent, donor attention and media coverage, and grassroots energy. Candidates such as Trump-backed Lieutenant Governor Pamela Evitt, Attorney General Alan Wilson, uh Ralph Norman, Nancy Mays, Romredy, and eight others focused on the governor's mansion rather than the Senate race. As a result, Liz said this yesterday. What if Nancy Mace, instead of running for governor, ran for Lindsay's spot? There might have been a chance there. Anyway, as a result, the Senate primary lacked a challenger with statewide name recognition, an established political organization or the infrastructure necessary to complete uh compete rather with a three-term incumbent. By the filing deadline, Graham was already in a strong position. Trump's endorsement changed the race. This individual's putting a lot of and you really have to agree. The Trump endorsement does mean something. Although we feel, and just maybe on a smaller, really loud vocal minority level that it kind of backfired a little bit on Lieutenant Governor, but maybe not. To the average voter, they're like, oh, Trump endorsed, great, I'll go there. And a lot of people feel that way. Endorsements kind of still mean something. And it's obvious. Look at Trump's, you know, record. He's it's been pretty good, pretty successful of getting, you know, some of these rhinos out. Anyway. Uh Graham's years-long effort to rebuild his relationship with President Trump paid dividends. Trump's endorsement, followed by a late telerally, uh, provided Graham with credibility among many Republican voters who may have otherwise considered an alternative. This is where this assessment here gets really interesting. In today's Republican Party, Trump's endorsement remains one of the most influential factors in the primary election. I agree with that. Challengers never broke through. Mark Lynch deserves credit for mounting the strongest challenge in the field. He invested millions of his own money, campaigned aggressively against the establishment, and focused on spending restraint, border security, and constitutional government. His appeal, however, remained concentrated among libertarian and constitutional conservative voters. That's not a bad thing. It's just that his appeal was limited to that. He needed to have mass appeal. Lynch's public praise for Thomas Massey. I remember that. Fresh off his Kentucky primary defeat. And uh Marjorie Taylor Green, following her split with Trump, raised questions among some Trump-aligned voters about where he fit within the broader mega coalition. Patrick Herman brought strong grassroots credentials as an Ory County GOP committeeman, but lacked funding and statewide reach necessary to compete. That was honestly his problem. I think he's a great guy. Great ideas. It just he didn't have the reach, sadly. None entered the race with a combination of resources, organization, name recognition, and broader vote appeal required to seriously threaten an incumbent senator. The devil you know. The assessment continues. Many voters chose the familiar incumbent over an uncertain alternative. Voters are fickle people. Not necessarily me, you, Liz, you know, all of you listening. We pay attention more than the average person, but the average person doesn't pay attention like we do. They're not consumed by the politics, and that's I applaud you for that. Because it it creates headaches. But nevertheless, because there's a lot of information to digest. And you know, many of you are plugged in, and you get it. Anyway. Decades of name recognition established political relationships and substantial fundraising advantage, and Trump's endorsement gave Graham significant advantages than the Republican primary voters. In a low turnout primary, I I I thought we had a really high turnout for this primary, but this person says it was low. I think they're saying speaking in general terms, generally l primaries when not attached to a federal type thing like a presidential election. They generally are. But this one was pretty good here in South Carolina. Anyway, in a low turnout primary, those advantages proved decisive. The bigger lesson here, dissatisfaction with Lindsey Graham's clearly uh sorry, let me start that over. Dissatisfaction with Lindsey Graham clearly exists within the Republican base. That's true. I hear I see it all from all of you. The election demonstrated that dissatisfaction alone is not enough to defeat an incumbent. Successful primary challenges require statewide credibility, substantial resources, professional organization money, blah, blah, blah. We covered all that. South Carolina highlighted the difference between online political sentiment and election day realities. Liz and I have said that a thousand times. It may feel like, and I even will qualify anything that I say, on social media, this is the buzz, the rumor, the feel. And I qualify that because it is just social media. It's a very small percentage. Average Joe Blow isn't paying attention, doesn't really. He goes on Facebook to maybe watch a fishing video or see what's up with, you know, Uncle Bob in Minnesota. Mom checks out what, you know, the kids are doing and this and that. And maybe they'll see a political ad, maybe, but they're not going, they're not searching out who is saying this today. You know, I do, Liz does, maybe some of you do, but the average person doesn't do that. They don't live on social media for that reason. You know? It's the other reasons. And they may catch a glimpse of something, but it's dismissed almost immediately within their minds. So going down. Final thoughts. Lindsey Graham won because he secured an outright majority of the Republican vote, primary voters. The opposition liked the size resources. We covered that. Despite earning a 49 Rhino scorus rating, I had never heard of that, and I love it. A rhino scorus rating from the Rhino removal project. Graham combined the advantages of incumbency, name recognition, fundraising, and President Trump's endorsement to secure a comfortable victory. Let's not forget this. I'll add, this person doesn't say this in here, but I will add this. We have open primaries, people. There's a lot of Democrats that'll go over and they'll vote for Lindsey Graham, too. They they like him. He's Democrat enough for them. Conservative Democrats exist. In the sense that, you know, they don't believe in all the foolhardy nonsense that these, you know, communism, socialism's great, and men can play in women's sports. They don't believe that. They're closer to the way you and I think, but not close enough. So they still think Trump's insane, and they think Lindsay's an alright guy. Because Lindsay kind of is in the middle. He's squishy, is Liz and I like to say. So, how do you feel about that assessment? I like it. I think it's pretty spot on. Adding my observation that the open primaries hurt because you have a lot of crossovers and you got a lot of people that are into the shenanigans with voting. I remember the time that Rush Limbaugh even suggested it because he said, well, if they're gonna do it, we should do it. Because you know they do it. We as conservatives don't think that way. We we don't want to waste our vote trying to sabotage their process. We would rather use our vote for something productive. I really like Patrick Herman. I voted for him, I didn't consider that a wasted vote. Did I, in my right mind, think that he would probably win? No, sadly. Why? Because of the resources and everything we just discussed and everything that post said. I still think it was a good vote. I liked my vote. I liked that guy. I like him. The Looney left, they don't see things that way. They don't want to build anything up, they just want to destroy. So when they look at an opportunity to destroy anybody on the right, squishy or otherwise, Lindsay Graham, they will do it. So yeah, I think that there was a fair amount of that going on as well. Crossing over and sabotaging. So there you go. Those and if you're on X, I suggest you follow, because this was really well thought out, well written. Rhino Removal Project. Rhino scorus. Okay, that's that right there is worth the price of admission, if you ask me. Alright, more coming up. Liz Callaway show with me, Nick Summers. Liz off today. She'll be in a little later. Let's talk music. So the internet was a buzz. I guess. At least the algorithms that are directed towards me are because it's like if you look at my feed on X, Twitter, whatever. I have a hard time calling it just X. It's all music or politics. It's really weird. So Rush, obviously, as you know, the incredible drummer. Most drummers out there that I know, I I can't find anyone that I've ever spoke to. Neil Perry, his nickname was the Professor. The guy was just one of the most amazing drummers that probably ever lived. Very technical. Uh also the chief lyricist for the band Rush. Rush is not for everybody, I get it. You know, some people say they're too prog rocky for him. Well, that's kind of, you know, that's their thing, right? But I did go see a Rush show back in the day, way back in the day. And uh I remember, you know, most of the, and I think I mentioned this to Liz too, most of the uh shows that you went and saw back in, you know, in the 80s or what have you, you know, lots of air guitars going on, that kind of thing. Rarely did you see air drumming, maybe a little bit. But when you go to a rush show, the whole place is filled with air drumming. And what's funny is sometimes his talent, Neil Pert, sadly passed away. Uh, but his talent overshadowed the tremendous talent that the other two guys actually have. I mean, uh Alex Lifeston, great guitar player, amazing, and and Getty Lee on bass, holy smokes. Now, when when they did their final tour, which was years ago, uh, it was just shortly after that. Uh, even Neil had said at one point in time that it's getting increasingly difficult for him to keep up the pace of the stuff that he plays. So the drum parts he he wrote for the songs are just really intricate and required a lot of stamina stamina and strength, and you know, they're getting up there in their age. You know, you can't play football when you're sixty something, and yeah. So uh the the the time to retire was right. And that's the hardest job physically for for any. You know, hard rock or rock band is the is the drumming, especially one that requires you to play all those intricate parts. So then sadly he he died and and the figure you know there was no ever getting back together. A lot of fans are hoping for like a one-off show, and and and actually Alex, the remaining members, Alex and Neil, the guitar player and bass player respectively, you know, while they stayed in touch, they they never played together, they just kind of drifted apart a little bit, just the time and the distance and space. And and one day they got together just goofing around, going through the archives of stuff and started playing and they, you know, this is fun again. And there was a whole thing about, you know, they but they had this video, it was obviously scripted and all that, but it was still fun, announcing that they were going to return. And everybody was like, Who's gonna drum? Who's this person going to be? And there was lots of rumors out there. It turns out it was this kind of an unknown, not a household name, not even in rock circles. A few people knew who she was, but she is considered a highly respected virtuoso composer and educator. And she rose to prominence in the early 2010s through clinical instructional videos, uh, very prolific YouTube videos, so drummers knew her, but again, not a household name. She even played with Jeff Beck. So, I mean, no, she's yeah, she's good. So they named her Annika Niles. She is uh born in Germany, and people were like, how there's no way. So, for fun, and and the whole thing was Tom Sawyer is the big one with it's got those really complicated feels right after the guitar solo, and that's the one everybody likes to air drum to, and it's just you know it's one of those things. It's you know, it's like eruption on guitar. Everybody knows it. Even if you're not a guitar player, you know eruption. You know how it goes in your head, you can picture it, and if somebody doesn't do it right, you go, hey, well, that doesn't sound right. Even though you don't play guitar, you just know it's not quite right. Same thing with Tom Sawyer and the drum fills. If you're a fan of rock music, you know that song. I came out of the break with it. I'm gonna pick it up. This is the original recording. Back in uh, what was it, 1981 or something? I'm not sure. I don't remember the time on that. I believe it is. Moving Pictures was the name of the album. And and I'll pick it up with a guitar solo, and then immediately following that is that incredible set of drum fills. And then we're gonna go to live over the weekend where they did their first concert. And it was really amazing. And it's interesting, if you haven't seen any of the video yet, you have to because both the guys in the band kind of look back at at uh Annika and kind of smile at her. It's like, wow, you nailed it. Not that she probably didn't during, you know, rehearsal, but when you're playing live in front of, you know, 30,000 people, it's uh it's a whole different animal. Anybody who's ever performed in front of a large crowd, it's a different animal. You can practice your whole life for one thing, and you get in front of people and you like uh and you flub it. It happens to everybody. She did not. So here's the original with Neil, the professor. We can talk a little music, right? A little break from the politics. You guys don't mind, do you? I hope not. Okay, here we go. I'm gonna play the whole solo section because it gives you a reference and builds up. Still amazing, still gives me goosebumps. Even watching the video and watching him play it, it's like, holy smokes, Neil was just a beast. So here we go from the weekend. Annika Niles. That same section, starting, I think, I think it misses the keyboard, but it starts with a guitar. It is YouTube video, cell phone, but you get it. Cause they know what they're listening to and what they're watching. So, wow. I mean, Neil's voice, I mean, he's 70 years old. He's not gonna have the 20-year-old screams that he had, you know, when he was 20. Uh, but still sounds alright. But holy cow. So I found that to be really, that was just, you know, it was like a blast from the past, and then to see somebody uh pay homage to Neil, who, you know, she's obviously a big fan and studied his music. And wow, she just nailed it. And again, the whole crowd went insane. I found that to be really uplifting and exciting to see somebody accomplish that. What do you guys think? Uh what do you got here? Uh I want to see, I'm gonna go right to the budget blinds text line. Here we go. I love Getty Lee and Takeoff. The Great White North with Bob Doug Mackenzie. Yeah, that was good. That was hilarious. Uh yes, he was a great drummer, says George the Cemetery Guy, but I still think he couldn't touch John Bonham. Okay. I mean, that's I'm not arguing who's the better drummer. I'm just saying, you know. Uh here we go, Jamie. That girl is the real deal. The new drummer of Rush, yes. Totally agree. Pontificator, amazing. Yes. I mean, you have to tip your hat. No. There were some critics that like really slammed her saying, well, she didn't write it. She's just copying it. Listen, settle down there, Bub. You know, Rush are going out on a tour to celebrate the life and legacy of their good dear friend who has left this earth and to enjoy it. They don't need the money, they don't need the notoriety. They're just doing it because they realize how much fun it was to play those songs again. And they're playing some really great, obscure stuff. I mean, you gotta be a rush fan to like some of those songs. Even some of them I'm like, I'm not that familiar with. I'm a I'm a better than casual drummer, you know, fan rather of Rush. And they were playing some really deep cuts, and that's cool. That's great, great for the fans. That's who's going to see them. But you have to give Annika some credit. No, she didn't write those parts. But she is there to perform a job, to do a role, which is the best she can, do the best kneel she can, and I think she nailed it. And it made a lot of people, 30,000 people, standing on their feet screaming, amazing. Yeah, she did great. Alright, what else do we have? What do you guys uh uh yeah, that's it. Everybody commented on it, you're good? Alright, are we moving on? Let's move on. One of the biggest oh yeah, I agree. Bob the turf guy, yeah. One of the biggest sounds you can get from a three-piece band, absolutely. And and like I said, I saw them back in the uh I was in high school, so it'd be the the early mid-80s. And I couldn't believe how amazing they were. Just incredible. So all right, coming back on the other side here. I wanted to uh discuss because this was kind of a big story. The Oricony Police Department, they're having an outside review come in, and I honestly, great. There's been a lot of public outcry with, you know, perception is reality. Liz and I have talked about that before, and from the public's view, the lack of information sometimes, it just looks bad, right? And so they're willing to have an outside independent, you know, group of people come in and assess everything they're doing: good, bad, and different. How are we doing in staffing decisions, assignments, execution? I think it's great. And good on them for doing it. Because that's that's a hard thing to do. To have somebody from the outside come in and say, Hey, you're doing a good job, but it's just, you know, nobody likes to be told, well, you could have done this better. So, and they're making it all public. So I applaud them for that. Being a police officer is one of the hardest things, especially nowadays. And, you know, I wanna I want to get to that story. Again, I I'm I'm I'm proud of our local police department. And I think it's great that they're doing this internal review and having an outside independent kind of uh group take a look at it. And I and I hope we get to see their findings and I hope they react accordingly. So, tip of the hat to the uh chief of police there, Oregon County Police Department, for doing that, willing to do that. We'll cover that in its entirety from WMBF. They had that story last night. Stand by, it's next. Morning to you. By the way, this is Jody Hunter Limeberry. He gave me an advanced copy of a CD. So eh, we'll throw some tracks in here. Once in a while, this is when country music died.

SPEAKER_02 32:16

Today's country singers don't really sing.

SPEAKER_07 32:21

Country music's lost its twice. Speaking of a talented dude, Jody Hunter Limeberry. Check him out. I would imagine he's on Facebook, probably YouTube. They don't really mean it. Does a lot of our events, like-minded, good man, good husband, good dad. So uh happy and and proud that you gave me that CD there, Jody. Happy to spin a few tracks here and there. Awesome. All right, so uh here's the story from WMBF on that uh review that's gonna be taking place within the Ori County Police Department. Listen.

SPEAKER_00 33:12

Nicole, the chief says that there are several processes and changes that the department is going to that they are excited about.

SPEAKER_11 33:19

It's very, very important. Uh that'll show what our agency is doing, uh, what we're doing well, what we can prove on, uh, and I think that's very, very important for our agency moving forward to continue to provide that excellent service for the citizens of the Ory County.

SPEAKER_00 33:33

A full agency review management study is a step in a new direction for Ori County Police as the department looks to improve and grow.

SPEAKER_11 33:41

So I think it's very important uh that we continue to always look for things that can make us better. Uh we have been in discussions at the police department looking at different challenges uh that we could face as far as, you know, pushing us to be better and better. Uh we're not happy with just the status quo. We want to continue to grow uh and be the best in the state.

SPEAKER_00 34:00

Ori County Chief of Police Chris Linhart announced during the county's public safety committee meeting on Wednesday that the International Association of Chiefs of Police will do the review. He tells me the organization looks into law enforcement agency operations, such as structure, performance, responsibilities, and personnel. People have called for Orie County PD to merge with the Sheriff's Office after the police department received criticism of how certain investigations have been handled, along with controversy surrounding sexual harassment and wrongful termination allegations. But the department is looking to move forward.

SPEAKER_11 34:38

You know, everyone that serves in public safety are humans, they're going to make mistakes. Uh so we do look to address those, and I felt like we've addressed those as they come along. But uh obviously, yes, uh, those do spur you to look at what challenges you can do to make things better.

SPEAKER_00 34:53

The department is not stopping at the agency review. Lenhart says the agency is implementing additional trainings, has started a program to assist officers and their needs, and it's even in the process of getting a national accreditation. And it's steps like this that are already seeing support.

SPEAKER_02 35:08

It also shows good professionalism, and if it was easy, every department would have it. And it's a good goal for us to have, and something I think it'll pay off in the long run.

SPEAKER_00 35:21

Lenhart tells me that the review process can take between nine months and a year. Reporting live in Orie County, Jenna Guzman, WMBF News.

SPEAKER_07 35:30

Again, I have to commend uh the uh the police chief, Chris Leonard. That's great. I mean, it's one of the hardest things to do to have an independent, you know, individual come in and say, Here's what you're doing right, here's what you're doing wrong, and here's how to fix it. And that's to me, that is that's excellent leadership. So I commend him for that. That's I think that's great news. Uh-huh. Uh because that's a stu step in the right direction to repair not only the deficiencies that may or may not be going on. I mean, public perception is everything.
