[00:00:29] Kind of to kick things off, I'm going to take a step back. When I listen to a lot, you know, I don't listen to too much of it. I try to, I do more reading than, I know it's hard to believe. And even my friends are amazed. I do more reading than talking. I even talk to myself. By the way, for those of you who do, who have that inner voice, you're likely to be more creative problem solvers. Because you run through scenarios, you run through, you're constantly criticizing yourself. It's not having a multiple personality. It's just the way your brain kind of clicks along.

[00:00:58] So having said that, I was doing a hike this morning. And I was cogitating as I perambulated and was thinking in terms of why we find ourselves so far apart on a couple of things.

[00:01:14] And to me, it's not so much partisan. It expresses itself in Trumpian terms. It expresses itself in partisanship to a degree. But that's not, that's how it comes across. But that is not the underlying problem, in my opinion. This is me, so you'll just have to bear with it.

[00:01:36] And it is that we as a nation typically endeavor to solve great problems. Now, here's the reality of what I'm about to say on that front is that usually, historically speaking, we recognize the problems regardless of our perspective.

[00:01:57] In other words, I could say right now, all of you, you know, left-leaning Democrats or leftist, you want, I would say you want a safe neighborhood. If you and I were, if we were neighbors, if we were neighbors out on the street and our kids were playing, you would want a safe neighborhood for your kids.

[00:02:16] You would want good schools. You would want good roads. You would want many of the same things. We would see many of the issues likewise. Now, when we get to larger issues, this is where we have a divorce. But let's go back in time a little bit. When the framers were creating the country, even Thomas Jefferson, an owner of slaves, by the way, recognized that the issue of slavery needed to be dealt with.

[00:02:44] But the only way to get the southern states to sign it and move forward and separate divorce from Great Britain was to not deal with that issue. Many of them knew this is a problem. Moving forward, when we get to the 1860s, and all of this was percolating up. It was an unsustainable problem, and the divorce happened. And it was violent, and it was horrific, but the divorce happened.

[00:03:10] Whether a state could leave the union was another one that was tested horrifically. The issue of slavery, it gets settled. We move forward as a nation. We recognize. And then the beauty of our nation is that we look back and go, yep, it was bad. We came together as a nation afterwards, and we rectified this. And women's suffrage. We move through to civil rights. All of these we recognize pretty universally that these are problems.

[00:03:39] I mean, there's, you know, fringy people that want to push back on these things. But we gentle and we move forward. Hilltop diplomacy of Vietnam, horrible, terrible. Hopefully we never do it again. Learned a lot, although we get involved in these intractable situations in Afghanistan. And we learn a little bit, but at least we let the military kind of deal with the targeting over in Afghanistan. We didn't do it in a boardroom. But I digress.

[00:04:06] We endeavored to solve great problems. The civil rights legislation of the 60s, even the creation of the Great Society. There was a lot of recognition across the spectrum about what the problems we saw. We saw them. We wanted to solve them differently, but we wanted to solve them nonetheless. One of the greatest unity moments before 9-11 was Kennedy's moonshot.

[00:04:33] So Kennedy comes along and in 1961 says, hey, you know, before the end of this decade, we endeavor to put a man on the moon. Now, he didn't say bring him home. But that was part of the solve. We had to get him there, but we had to get him home. We're not going to strand him up there and thank you, mankind. You die on the moon, but you did it. So we had to get him there and back.

[00:04:53] But that was a huge endeavor that, from a technological standpoint, still stands as a magnificent accomplishment of mankind. And I say humankind for those of you who are offended, but mankind. So we spend the better part of that decade. And in 1960, it was an artificial deadline. Kennedy said by the end of this decade, and everyone took that seriously. So we have identified the problem. What's the problem? We want to get a man to the moon. How do we do that? We've got, when's the timeline?

[00:05:23] End of the decade. Okay, so we got to the end of 1969 to get a man on the moon and back. How do we do that? Everyone comes together. And believe you me, they had debates. They had disagreements. A lot of those, these people that came together to solve this problem. And you saw a lot of that in the Apollo 13 movie, or if you're familiar with that story with duct tape and square boxes and round holes and stuff like that. But the issue was you disagree, but the goal is this. The problem is how to get him there and back.

[00:05:52] Regardless of your background, we didn't disagree about that. But we start rolling forward and we get to the point now, and it wasn't all at once, that we don't tend to recognize that certain things are problems. The border, if you lean right at all, you fully embrace and recognize that the border situation was untenable. It was unacceptable. It was a problem.

[00:06:19] We had hundreds of known people on the terrorist watch list that we encountered and caught. We don't know how many made it into the country. But that should have been and should be to this day something that the political left goes, that's a problem. We want to solve it. Now, what they did was they repackaged it and put it out there for you saying, look, Congress has a plan, and Donald Trump's trying to stop the immigration plan. But that was too little too late.

[00:06:46] Number one, if your boat is taking on water and getting ready to sink, you stop the boat from sinking before you go through the iterations of passing a bill. You have to deal with the boat sinking first. And that's what the executive branch tried to convince you, the American public. We can't do anything. That's what Congress has to do. We now know that was a lie. We now know I don't care what your political party or leanings are. We know that was a lie.

[00:07:11] The immigration situation that the executive branch of government responsible for securing the country lied to the American public. We don't know. We don't even know who was in charge of that lie. We know it wasn't the president. But it was a lie. So when you step down from the executive level and you go, OK, well, we can't seem to agree on that. You look at the local level and you look at big cities and rural America and this. We all heretofore agreed that we wanted safe communities.

[00:07:40] We wanted to enforce the law. We you know, the left would say, hey, we need to be a little more sensitive to racial issues, cultural issues, whatever. But the law is a law. Right. But what we we see is a divorce on that as well. Where large cities like L.A. would say, hey, or New York, cashless bail. You commit a crime, we'll bail you out. No cash. You know, if you steal in L.A., if it's below a thousand dollars, we're really not. We're not going to really charge that.

[00:08:06] So those two policies encouraged rampant criminal activity. We no longer find ourselves in agreement with the political left on crime. So issue after issue after issue, we find ourselves a chasm, a Grand Canyon, if you will, that is both wide and deep. Here's a great idea. How about making an escape to a really special and secluded getaway in western North Carolina, just a quick drive up the mountain? And Cabins of Asheville is your connection.

We were talking as I went to the break about the concept of problem solving. You know when you and your significant other, if you're fortunate enough or unfortunate enough to be in one of those situations, you like to, and when you are most successful is when you're functioning as a team.

[00:09:54] And there's no way anyone's going to convince me that any couple of any mate, size, or model, or shape gets along all the time. If they do, there's some serious underlying problems there that are not being addressed. They generally bump up. You kind of move forward. And when you find a way to move forward, that's when you're your strongest. That's why married couples tend to do much better financially is because they're moving ahead together.

[00:10:21] And in society, though, when I went to the break, I was talking about the situation in like L.A. or New York, where, I mean, there was a shooting in Philadelphia last night. It was unflippin' believable. And someone taped it. I don't know if it was a ring doorbell camera or someone on their phone. But there were like 15 people on our front porch. There were like Uzis being pulled out. And I didn't mean to say the word like. I really despise that in modern society to say it way too many. But there were guns similar to Uzis, these highly automatic weapons.

[00:10:49] There must have been, you know, 800 to 1,000 rounds discharged, handguns going in one direction and the other. People trying to take shelter under the brick wall of the porch that was about two and a half. The climbing over that. It was this primitive warfare with guns that was taking place thousands of rounds. So I didn't mean to distract, but it's the, we talk about neighborhood safety. Nobody wants that in their neighborhood.

[00:11:16] We find ourselves in society at this huge divorce. Not even, we don't want to be, we're trying to keep from being divorced. You know, you hear people saying, hey, California is just a seed. We should cheer off the left coast. You know, get Oregon, Washington, and California. And then get rid of some of those Northeast states. That's not the way we solve problems. That's the ease, that's the modern way, isn't it? But marriages are very much not all that sacred anymore. People say, oh, you can do better. Grass is always greener. And it's never, it never is.

[00:11:44] Oh, you should, you can get rid of that guy. Get rid of that girl. You can do better. Oh my gosh, look, being single is great. It's really not. And it's usually your single frustrated friends that will tell you stuff like that. It's an abdication of responsibility. And I'm not saying all because there are domestic violence situations. There are a thousand different things that cause. But in general, there are a lot of them that are just people that don't want to solve problems. They don't want to take it seriously. There's a degree of narcissism at work. They think they can always do better.

[00:12:11] Instead of pushing through and solving the problem. And that's where we find ourselves, Republicans and Democrats, in many ways. And I used to frustrate friends and enemies alike, I guess, when I would give speeches all over the state. And I would say, you ever notice that here's the problem with freedom? And it is that we exist somewhat in a natural free state. We're endowed by our creator with certain inalienable rights. And a lot of that is delineated in the Constitution. We have the freedom to pursue things.

[00:12:40] As long as we're not hurting other people, you have the right to pursue freedom. Freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom, freedom. Whenever there's a negotiation, hey, you need to compromise. Whenever there's a negotiation with the left, it is generally in this way. Abortion being kind of the outlier here.

[00:12:56] But speaking in terms of just absolute freedom, the compromise with the left is always you on the right need to give up some freedoms for us to enact our legislation. Every compromise is about giving up. You want higher taxes. They want higher taxes. You want lower taxes. And when they enact a higher tax, they're encroaching on you. On property rights. When they say, well, we need to enact all these government regulations on your property, that's an erosion of freedom.

[00:13:24] So every negotiation is an erosion of freedom in the modern era. And I think the right has just reached a point where they're like, we're done. We've given and given and given. And you guys, there's never a stopping point with you. You guys never say, okay, we're good. We don't have to deal with this issue again. In fact, Governor Youngkin in Virginia, it's not in the media here, but if you're following politics in Virginia, he has done a phenomenal job of gutting regulations.

[00:13:54] I think he's gone through the books and gotten rid of about 25% of all their existing regulations on the books, which just shows you society doesn't fall apart if you get rid of a lot of those. In North Carolina, we need to do the same. We have many outdated regulations, many that are duplicative. We have many that serve no useful purpose. We have many that are outdated. Many of our environmental regulations no longer serve the purpose of protecting you and I. They don't. They don't protect me. They don't protect you. They're just there.

[00:14:23] And in fact, they're corrosive. So that would be a great endeavor for left and right to go through and say, hey, what are the regulations that no longer serve a useful purpose, but are there nonetheless and are forcing our citizens to comply with, which is a cost of money, which is a boat anchor on the economy. I said that in a long winded way. So that was kind of the start to the show. I didn't mean to go on that long about it, but I wanted to frame it in a way that I felt was very fair.

[00:14:50] There are public safety, border security, even the trans issue in women's sports. That should not be a disagreement. Anybody with enough brain capacity to walk upright should easily be able to say, you know what? XY chromosome can't compete with XX chromosome. The advantages are too great, period. It, the political left should say, you know what? That's a bridge too far for even us. Let's deal with that issue and get it off the table.

[00:15:18] But no, they can't do that. And that's, come on. Your girls are competing in height. Look, if you go to lacrosse, if you've ever been to a lacrosse game, you look at 17-year-olds, play lacrosse, look at the girls and guys, it's a chasm. It is a vast difference. The guys are fully padded. They got helmets on. They run faster. They throw stronger. They hit harder. Girls lacrosse, very different. They don't even wear helmets.

[00:15:45] But you put a, you put an XY chromosome on that field, they will dominate. They will destroy. They will absolutely wipe the field. And it's not, this is, this shouldn't be, again, if you can walk upright and even, again, you know, you're picking on people that can't walk upright. You're picking on Governor Abbott from Texas. No. Come on. Let's have a little bit more sense. You're kind of defeating things about being upright.

[00:16:13] So the point being, we need to get past some of these things. I don't know how we do. I don't know how the left ever comes back. They've been given such a pass for so long that you watch these videos. They're absolutely, these people are melting down and their perspective is wrong. Their facts are wrong. Their knowledge is wrong. Maybe it's a failure of the public education system. Maybe it's the parents. Maybe it's both. But we've got to start solving the large problems in life.

[00:16:40] And we've got to be on at least the same page where we can have the debates. If you identify the problem, you're 90% on the way to solving it. Just identify the problem. All right. If you're listening to this show, you know I try to keep up with all sorts of current events. And I know you do too. And you've probably heard me say, get your news from multiple sources. Why? Well, because it's how you detect media bias, which is why I've been so impressed with Ground News.

I use the Vantage plan to get unlimited access to every feature. Your subscription then not only helps my podcast, but it also supports Ground News as they make the media landscape more transparent. Now, we were talking about big problems and there's a huge chasm.

[00:18:01] We can't even agree on what the problems are. If the left doesn't agree that the border is a problem, how do you solve a problem that they don't even – not a problem. I don't see what you're talking about. It's like, don't you see that 500-foot wave that's about to demolish your city? Nope. I don't see a wave there. Must be climate change. You know, this kind of stuff that is just this detachment from reality. Now, you're welcome to be a part of things.

[00:18:25] I've got much more to go because I want to get to where a lot of people say, well, the AOC, Jasmine Crockett, that wing of the party, that's not the mainstream. That's not where the party really is. It is where they're – I don't want to believe that's where the Democrats are. But you look at the victory of the Chicago mayor, that's moving left. You look at Momdani's victory in New York as a Democrat primary, that's moving left. And where does the rest of the party – what do they have to say?

[00:18:54] Some of the stalwarts in the party, some of the leaders in the party, what do they have to say? Surely – I mean, Nancy Pelosi's a fading force in the party, but she's still very powerful. Chuck Schumer hasn't rejected Momdani. Hakeem Jeffries, the minority leader, highest-ranking member of Congress for the Democrats, he said, I'm meeting with him later this week.

[00:19:12] He wouldn't – I mean, this is a guy who's espoused taking away money and redistributing it to other people, taxing certain people because of just where they live and that they're white. I mean, I couldn't believe he said the white neighborhoods, but he did. He's going to have government-run grocery stores. He's going to take over rent-control places. I mean, if you're a property owner and your taxes are going up, how do you pay the taxes in rent-control when the rent's fixed and the government says you can't raise your rent? Sorry.

[00:19:43] You get in on the conversation, 704-570-1110, 704-570-1110. That's also the WBT text line driven by Liberty Buick GMC, same phone number. You can call, you can text, they'll let me know, or they'll put you on. Now, when I said that the left is kind of coalescing there, I don't just say that to be arbitrary. They literally are coalescing around this. And I remind you that there was a guy named Jim Clyburn.

[00:20:13] And Jim Clyburn is the guy who really salvaged Joe Biden. When Joe Biden was doing terrible in the primaries in 2020, Jim Clyburn says, hey, we need to get together and get behind Joe. And you know what? That was the beginning. Joe then wins South Carolina after flailing in New Hampshire and Iowa comes together. Clyburn, who in many aspects is seen as a center-left kind of guy from South Carolina. But here's what he had to say about Momdani.

[00:20:43] So Momdani is an avowed Democrat socialist. It is a socialist. I can count the number of socialist experiments that have worked out. In fact, it's not hard. It's not even mathematic. You could say it's not a rational number because it's zero. It's not a prime. It's just zero. You only have to count. There's not one. And the left always says, well, we just do a different socialism workout. It doesn't. But here's what Clyburn had to say about Momdani. Representative Clyburn, South Carolina. Point.

[00:21:12] Do you support Momdani's candidacy as the Democratic nominee for mayor of New York? Absolutely, I do. I support Democratic nominees. The fact of the matter is, my relationship with Cuomo goes back to when he was secretary of HUD.

[00:21:35] And the South Carolina got one of those empowerment zones because of his help. It happens to be something Columbia in power zone. So just to be clear, you support Momdani's running or I guess his position as the Democratic primary winner. Is that an endorsement?

[00:22:03] Are you endorsing him as mayor of New York City? I support the Democratic nominee. Now, you could discern from that that maybe Clyburn, you know, the elevator didn't go to the top floor. Didn't have a full complement of sandwiches in the picnic basket. I don't know. Pick your metaphor. But that is interesting that he said, I support nominee. And then he starts talking about Cuomo. And then, you know, the CNN host is like, so do you support him or not?

[00:22:33] I support the nominee. Theoretically, Clyburn and Momdani are light years apart. But now you've got old school Democrats embracing, openly embracing a socialist candidate, which tells me that the rudder has shifted not back to the middle, not to a more moderate perspective, not toward even a Bill Clinton way of looking at things. But far left toward the Jasmine Crockett AOC. And I think this is a problem.

[00:23:01] I mean, I think North Carolina Democrats have done a magnificent job of avoiding being connected to their national party. If Josh Stein were to come out and embrace Momdani, if Jeff Jackson, they won't, and the media in this is cowardly enough to not ask them, hey, what do you think about this guy? They don't have. And then I think if the media was, you know, had the courage to ask the question, I don't think that they would have the courage to answer it in a direct way.

[00:23:31] That's what Democrats have this problem. They're so afraid to offend the other members of their party, they can't just be honest. One thing about Trump that a lot of people like, find refreshing, is he doesn't care what the other part of the party says. He's not looking for a poll-tested answer. He's just going to give you an answer, like it or not. That's just the way he rolls. You know, stories are powerful. They help us make sense of things, to understand experiences.

We don't have a lot of rational thought anymore.

[00:24:56] I mean, for Jim Clyburn to think that Mom Donnie is going to support the nominee no matter what. I mean, Mom Donnie's got views that are completely contrary to what Clyburn has expressed openly and been a part of for decades. I mean, it's just this blind adherence. People say, well, people with Trump are that way. No, no, no, no, no, no. No. And I can prove that MAGA nation is not a cult. And that is the Epstein files.

[00:25:20] There's almost nobody on the MAGA right that is pleased with Pam Bondi saying, you know what? There's nothing to see here. I looked at the files. Wait, Pam Bondi, you told us there was something to see there. And now you're telling us there's nothing to see here, which, you know, and I'm telling you, they may like Trump, but they're not happy about this situation. It is not. And these are not folks to be taken for granted. And I'll guarantee you, if Trump all of a sudden did a 180 and said, you know what? There's no problem at the border.

[00:25:49] The hell with all this border security crap. They would turn on him because that's what the idea they're wed to is that that was a problem we're going to solve. Trump has been consistent on this. He's consistent on the situation with NATO. He's consistent on his lack of desire to be embroiled in more wars. I think he's going to run into a little headwind with the Ukrainian situation because but he's also staked out. Hey, the Russia guy is just losing it. Can't deal with them anymore.

[00:26:15] And when you can't deal with someone anymore, we saw what happened in Iran, didn't we? So I tell you that because Clyburn and other Democrats have a problem. They have a serious ideological problem moving forward. And I mentioned Josh Stein, the governor of the state of North Carolina, has a has a problem. Governor Cooper.

[00:26:38] I think, by the way, we're on the street and from several folks inside that I happen to know are saying that at a private gathering that Jeff Jackson kind of an AP. Dillon put it out there that Jeff Jackson and others have said it to that Jeff Jackson said Cooper's in. Well, here's the issue. And I don't want to belabor this one because we will talk about it later in the broadcast. The problem for Roy Cooper getting in his entire political career has been.

[00:27:06] Defined by being risk averse. I say that because in every single instance when he ran, he really did not face a significant challenge. He did not face a significant job. Pat McCrory was very wounded when he was running for a second term. HB2, which, by the way, is aging better now in light of the reality of the world we live in. But HB2, the toll road situation in this area, then down east with the fishermen in the northeast part of the state.

[00:27:35] McCrory was a very wounded first-term governor facing a very well-funded challenge. Now, a lot of criticism at Cooper at the time was that he waited too long. He waited forever. The Democrats, when are you going to run? When are you going to run? When are you going to run? He just didn't run. He's not going to run. When's he going to run? He waited until he almost couldn't lose. And that's what he ran. And when he ran against Dan Forrest in the middle of COVID, and at the time, Cooper's not allowing anyone to get out. So Dan Forrest couldn't raise money, couldn't get his word out.

[00:28:05] They criticized him for not wearing a mask. They went after. It was all these personal attacks. So Cooper really didn't have to run on any issues. He just had to run saying, I'm not that guy. And then he's out. He did his two terms and he's out. Now, this race next year, where Cooper to enter, is a very different world. Because he would be subject to massive criticisms. And he's not good at handling criticisms.

[00:28:26] And the media would ask him questions because the media has been roundly, substantially, and very forthrightly criticized for not being critical. So that's a problem. Now, I say that because the political left finds itself. And I'll give you an example of where the media is kind of waking up from a slumber. And Chris Saliza, not exactly Chris Saliza, for those of you who know, a leftist journalist. Very critical of Trump. Very passive on Biden. There's no thing to see here with Biden.

[00:28:56] And here's what he wrote just today. This is where they're trying to get their reputations back. Post number one. In the final years of his presidency, Joe Biden's top aides and his wife, Jill, hid him from the media and the public in ways that we are only now beginning to fully grasp. So he did a thread. If you follow social media, it's a thread. It's one, two. They're short. They're all short blasts. The second one. On Tuesday, we got another look at how pervasive the effort to keep Biden from speaking extemporaneously really was.

[00:29:23] And how it was continued even after his time in the White House. There's a book penned by Tyler Pager and two other political reporters. And it's called 2024. It's pretty stunning. And the guy says, when I reached Mr. Biden on his cell phone in late March, he answered and agreed to talk. I mean, this is the reporter that got through Biden's cell phone directly to the president. No one knows how he got it, but he got it. And when he did, you know, Biden said, oh, he broke his silence on his successor to criticize the early weeks of Trump's second term.

[00:29:51] I don't see anything he's done that's been productive. When I asked if he had any regrets about dropping out of the presidential race, Mr. Biden said in a detached tone, no, not now. I don't spend a lot of time on regrets. Then he hung up because he was boarding a train. My brief conversation with Biden prompted a cascade of concerns among his top aides.
