[00:00:28] The question I'm asking is how likely is it that you may overlook your economic situation and vote instead for Kamali even though her and Biden's policies have most likely hurt you, like almost everybody in the country.

[00:00:41] And how important is this issue to you, economics, your economic situation in the economy? And what is, here's the most important at the heart of everything for you, for me, for all of us individually, which is what matters, your story.

[00:00:56] What is your current economic situation like in this economy? Now, we've got Lindsey, Drew, and, oh, I'm sorry, Lindsey, David, and Chris on hold. You're going to be up in just a sec, but I have to share this with you from the piece that inspired me to talk about this with you today.

[00:01:13] It is from the Wall Street Journal, the haves and have-nots at the center of America's inflation fight.

[00:01:20] And here's the thing. This is reminding me of this. Who would vote for Kamal in this economy? I'll tell you who.

[00:01:27] I'll give you an example of – it's humanity. I'm not comparing people that vote for Kamal to people that vote for Hamas.

[00:01:33] I'm just telling you humanity. People will vote for somebody that will hurt them for a cause that they feel is greater than their hurt.

[00:01:45] Example, Hamas. Why are they still in power?

[00:01:48] Why did the Palestinian – or Gazan residents – by the way, almost exactly three out of four Gazans support Hamas after they slaughtered the Jews, raped them, beheaded them, tortured them, and kidnapped them,

[00:02:00] and continue to sexually torture them according to the UN in custody, including eight Americans right now, half of whom may be dead.

[00:02:06] Joe's quiet about it. Kamal's quiet about it.

[00:02:10] They will vote for Hamas over somebody who – Hamas steals from them.

[00:02:14] Hamas takes their infrastructure before it's being used for them for water pipes.

[00:02:18] They have no water system that's good because they use it for trajectory items, like for the tubes to shoot the rockets and missiles out of, the rockets.

[00:02:29] Do not believe me. Google it. I've read extensive pieces on it in the journal and others.

[00:02:33] Do not believe me.

[00:03:03] And their charter is more important.

[00:03:08] Now, here's continuing on with the story.

[00:03:10] A 28-year-old Janice Lerner, a woman, mother of three, lives just outside of Columbus, Ohio.

[00:03:18] She increasingly trades homegrown food such as ground beef or steaks with nearby farmers in exchange for eggs, milk, and more.

[00:03:24] We're getting by, but it's close.

[00:03:26] Another woman, Amber Plunkett.

[00:03:28] I think she's in the Michigan area, Lansing.

[00:03:31] She has credit card bills, and credit card bills have piled up so high.

[00:03:35] Earlier this year, she and her husband took out a lower-rate loan for their credit union to help pay down balances after debt ballooned again with interest expenses and unexpected car repairs.

[00:03:44] By the way, they're always expected.

[00:03:45] It will always happen, not if.

[00:03:48] The couple took out a home equity line of credit on their $230,000 house to catch up.

[00:03:52] We just couldn't see any other way out.

[00:03:54] There's no money left in the bank before the next check comes.

[00:03:58] Combined income of her, an office assistant, and her husband who installs heating and cooling systems has grown to more than $130,000 annually.

[00:04:07] The sum is far more than the average household in the state.

[00:04:11] But debt has forced her and him to find more ways to cut back, washing bigger loads of laundry, cooking meals with fewer ingredients, skipping presents at family birthday parties.

[00:04:19] She still often pulls out the plastic credit cards for necessities like groceries, bills, which can top $1,000 every other week.

[00:04:28] We have never lived like this before.

[00:04:29] We dreamed about being here, about buying a house, to get a mortgage, to make the amount of money we're making, and we feel like we're worse off than when we started.

[00:04:40] I'm telling you something right now.

[00:04:41] Just listening in the news, WBT here at the top and watching CNN today, and this is not a criticism of the news.

[00:04:46] I'm just telling you the truth that's happening out there.

[00:04:49] You're witnessing and you're watching a movement.

[00:04:56] This is Barack Obama again.

[00:05:01] She's a fraud.

[00:05:02] She's a flip-flopper.

[00:05:03] She has no character.

[00:05:06] But there's only 90 days to define her, and they wanted to get rid of her in February for the third, fourth time, including all the media.

[00:05:14] She's fake.

[00:05:16] But she's Barack Obama's gal, and she has been before she even ran for attorney general of the state of California.

[00:05:21] She is Barack Obama incarnate.

[00:05:24] That's a movement that wins.

[00:05:27] And when we're talking about Jews that are bad with Trump and his interview yesterday, we're talking about J.D. Vance with crazy cat ladies or whatever, with single cat ladies, and we continue to defend ourselves and do that.

[00:05:38] And weird.

[00:05:38] We lose.

[00:05:40] We lose.

[00:05:40] And we're losing.

[00:05:41] I don't care what the numbers say.

[00:05:42] We are losing, and we're going to lose right now.

[00:05:45] Because Trump cannot discipline himself.

[00:05:46] J.D. Vance was a bad pick.

[00:05:48] But I want to ask you those questions.

[00:05:50] How likely is it that you will overlook your economic situation and vote instead for Kamala?

[00:05:54] How important is the economy as an issue to you, and what's your current economic situation like in this economy?

[00:06:01] 704-570-1110 is our number.

[00:06:03] Let's go to Lindsay.

[00:06:05] Lindsay, you are on the Peak Calendar Show on News Talk 1110 and 993.

[00:06:09] Chris Kroc filling in.

[00:06:10] Hello.

[00:06:12] Hello.

[00:06:12] Thank you for taking my call.

[00:06:14] Thank you.

[00:06:16] And I really appreciate your position.

[00:06:20] I've been a long-time Trump supporter, eight and a half years.

[00:06:25] Been to 11 rallies.

[00:06:27] Nothing like it.

[00:06:28] To get lifted up.

[00:06:29] And I'm a little upset with you in the negativity of saying we're going to lose, we're going to lose.

[00:06:40] And I do agree that I feel a little bit afraid of Kamala.

[00:06:46] Which is ridiculous.

[00:06:48] Isn't that sad?

[00:06:49] Isn't that sad?

[00:06:51] Yeah.

[00:06:52] They just want to vote for someone.

[00:06:55] Say I voted for the first woman, black woman.

[00:06:57] Tickle my ears, right?

[00:06:59] Tickle my ears.

[00:07:00] Make me feel good.

[00:07:02] Well, I don't think you should be mad at me, though.

[00:07:04] I don't think you should be mad at me.

[00:07:05] You should be mad at Trump, who is not disciplining himself.

[00:07:09] He's no longer that guy.

[00:07:11] No, no.

[00:07:12] That's part of his popularity.

[00:07:14] Real fast.

[00:07:14] Real fast.

[00:07:15] He will still get the 48% that he always gets, but it won't be enough.

[00:07:18] Listen, real fast.

[00:07:19] He was so perfect at the convention on that last night when he spoke.

[00:07:23] It was beautiful.

[00:07:24] He is not reflecting that half the time, at least.

[00:07:27] And that's killing him.

[00:07:27] That's all.

[00:07:28] Go ahead.

[00:07:28] Well, where do you think the people are that would never say, I'm going to vote for Trump?

[00:07:36] Like a lot of white older women like me or black men or even black women.

[00:07:42] Don't you think they're going to come out?

[00:07:44] You know, the Hispanic vote will be huge.

[00:07:47] I mean, the economy, the economy is stupid.

[00:07:51] You know, we don't need a third Barack Hussein Obama turn.

[00:07:55] Well, if it feels good, you will.

[00:07:57] Not you.

[00:07:58] What did I just say?

[00:07:59] Why do people vote for Hamas when it destroys their way of life and everything?

[00:08:03] Why?

[00:08:05] It's humanity.

[00:08:06] It's a movement.

[00:08:08] The kids in the basement.

[00:08:10] Hmm?

[00:08:11] The kids in the basement growing up in their parents' basement.

[00:08:15] Well, listen, we have a problem.

[00:08:17] And if you get mad at me, you can get mad at me all you want.

[00:08:21] Like that guy got mad at me at that church retreat when Barack was running for a second term.

[00:08:25] But guess what?

[00:08:26] We lost.

[00:08:28] And we're going to lose right now.

[00:08:29] And if we pretend and we shame people to tell their feelings on this or the truth, perhaps, that's how we lose.

[00:08:35] We go cheering and silencing people to our defeat.

[00:08:40] That's where we're headed right now.

[00:08:40] Do you also use your big voice to guide us and lead us?

[00:08:46] No, no, no.

[00:08:47] You don't have to follow me.

[00:08:48] We have people that call in all the time that do not agree with me in any way, shape, or form.

[00:08:51] Okay?

[00:08:52] Like we had a guy yesterday.

[00:08:53] I spent – do you hear that?

[00:08:54] It's been a while talking about it.

[00:08:55] I agree with you.

[00:08:56] Yeah, I know.

[00:08:57] Everything is good.

[00:08:58] I know.

[00:08:58] But like a hammer trying to – and you're being very kind and very nice about it.

[00:09:02] Neither am I being negative on you.

[00:09:03] I hope you understand.

[00:09:18] On the other side of the wood, on the ground.

[00:09:20] That doesn't mean we're still going to lose in my opinion.

[00:09:22] Your call was fantastic.

[00:09:24] I appreciate you very much.

[00:09:25] And it's okay to disagree.

[00:09:27] C-H-R-I-S-K-R-O-K.

[00:09:30] C-H-R-I-S-K-R-O-K.

[00:09:32] At Chris Kroc Show.

[00:09:33] Follow me there on Twitter, Insta, and Facebook.

[00:09:36] There is the perfect thing going on with people that are willing to vote for Kamala as the world and our country and our economy burns.

[00:09:43] And that's what it is.

[00:09:44] You have to see this video and share it with everybody.

[00:09:46] That's literally what these people are doing.

[00:09:47] They will vote for Kamala as everything around them burns while they're looking at their phones and smiling and having a good time.

[00:09:53] That's where we're at.

[00:09:54] People are willing to do that and overlook their economic situation.

[00:09:57] Let's go to Jerry.

[00:09:59] Jerry, you have called in on News Talk 1110, 993 WBT.

[00:10:04] Chris Kroc in for Pete Callender on the Pete Callender Show.

[00:10:06] Hello, sir.

[00:10:08] Hey, Chris.

[00:10:08] I wanted to ask you, why are illegal aliens voting?

[00:10:16] Well, I don't know which ones are, which ones aren't, but I don't know why a illegal alien would vote.

[00:10:22] Maybe because they're told to sign up for it.

[00:10:25] Maybe because people have encouraged them to and say it's empowering.

[00:10:28] You can vote illegally, I think, in D.C. and as an illegal in New York.

[00:10:33] But go ahead.

[00:10:35] That was my question.

[00:10:36] I mean, we have a constitution that's the U.S. citizen to vote.

[00:10:41] And if you're not a U.S. citizen, then those are all false votes.

[00:10:45] They're all illegal votes.

[00:10:48] Okay.

[00:10:49] Well, thank you.

[00:10:51] How's your economic situation?

[00:10:53] And do you think people are willing to vote even though their economic situation is terrible for Kamala,

[00:10:57] even though it's the same policy just because they despise Trump so much?

[00:11:01] No, I think those people are just, you know, I can't say what I think about them on the radio.

[00:11:06] I got it.

[00:11:06] You think there's enough of them?

[00:11:08] There's enough of them to do damage and to possibly lose.

[00:11:10] Yeah, I have to agree with you.

[00:11:12] I do.

[00:11:12] I think there's enough people out there that'll do it.

[00:11:14] I think – and by the way, do you think our chances of winning are going down every day with Trump not being focused and making it just about her policies and how she literally has no character because she's gone back against every policy she's ever stood for?

[00:11:26] Yes, sir.

[00:11:27] I do.

[00:11:28] Amen.

[00:11:29] Thank you.

[00:11:30] I'm glad you're honest.

[00:11:30] Let's go next to David.

[00:11:32] David, you are on the Pete Kellner Show on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:11:37] Chris in for Pete.

[00:11:37] Oh, David's gone.

[00:11:38] Okay, Chris, is that who's next?

[00:11:41] Okay, Chris, you are on the Pete Kellner Show on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:11:46] Hello, Chris.

[00:11:47] I'd like to address the comment you made earlier because I agree with it that Trump is going to hurt himself by what he's saying now.

[00:11:56] He's repeating the whole line of only voting on Election Day only, and that is a loser.

[00:12:03] People who would normally not vote for a Republican but we're saying now they cannot vote for Kamala or Biden, that position will send them out to vote for Kamala.

[00:12:15] But if he's talking about limiting voting to only Election Day…

[00:12:20] You mean he's saying that to support a law like that or that he's telling people to only vote on Election Day right now, telling them to…

[00:12:28] No, no.

[00:12:28] He's saying it's going to be law, only Election Day voting.

[00:12:32] Which is exactly what we should do.

[00:12:34] We're going to talk about that later, but you don't talk about that now.

[00:12:39] Good call.

[00:12:40] Good call on that.

[00:12:41] Yeah, that's ridiculous.

[00:12:43] All this stuff he's doing, he can do it the day he gets elected and then after that.

[00:12:47] That's great.

[00:12:48] Not until then.

[00:12:48] Go ahead, sir.

[00:12:50] All right.

[00:12:50] As far as – there are several parts about the election that need to be taken care of, like the gentleman who just said, why are the illegals voting?

[00:12:59] It's because the laws are not being enforced.

[00:13:02] People who run these election boards, they were talking about showing proof of citizenship.

[00:13:08] They're not requiring that.

[00:13:09] What about what we're talking about now, though?

[00:13:12] What about what we're talking about right now, though?

[00:13:14] Your economic situation.

[00:13:16] What's it like?

[00:13:17] And do you think people are willing to overlook their economic situation?

[00:13:20] My economic situation is terrible, but no, I'm not going to vote for Congress.

[00:13:23] Well, do you think that people will do that?

[00:13:25] They'll vote even though they're in a horrible economic situation to vote for her because they despise Orange Man?

[00:13:31] The way the left twists things around to make Orange Man look totally bad, calling him Hitler all the time, there are people that will fall for that, yes.

[00:13:40] There's people that do not think critically.

[00:13:43] Can you agree with me that we're in a troubling spot right now with Trump the way he's going?

[00:13:47] Yes.

[00:13:48] He needs to clean his message up because right now he's – yeah.

[00:13:53] I fear he's going back.

[00:13:54] Here's another thing I heard the other day that literally is so spot on for this.

[00:13:57] Listen, when he gets attacked, he defaults back to attack, attack, attack, and that's where he's at, and that's where they want him.

[00:14:03] They rope-a-doped him.

[00:14:05] They're going to keep doing it.

[00:14:06] It works.

[00:14:06] Keep doing it.

[00:14:07] It works.

[00:14:08] Exactly.

[00:14:08] Keep doing it.

[00:14:10] It works.

[00:14:27] He needs to just pound to what put everybody in the situation we're in now.

[00:14:33] What has hurt you?

[00:14:35] What has hurt you?

[00:14:36] And what he will do.

[00:14:36] I will hear what has hurt you.

[00:14:38] Don't worry about what is hurting your feelings, Donald Trump.

[00:14:41] Worry about what's hurting us.

[00:14:43] That's right.

[00:14:43] There you go.

[00:14:44] He says this is happening to him because of us.

[00:14:47] Well, then talk about us.

[00:14:48] Dude, you're freaking – you're his new campaign manager.

[00:14:50] Appreciate your call.

[00:14:51] So we're talking about the horrible economic situation, the haves and the have-nots.

[00:14:56] We're featuring this Wall Street Journal piece today that I wanted to share with you.

[00:15:03] And I think the video I retweeted is perfect.

[00:15:07] It's people sitting in trains looking at the phones laughing and smiling as the world around them is burning.

[00:15:13] And that literally is people for the past three and a half years who are voting for Kamala.

[00:15:18] Not just the world, even their backyard, their city, their town.

[00:15:22] They're driving – they're going through on the train.

[00:15:24] That is what's going on.

[00:15:26] And the question is how likely is it that you may overlook your economic situation instead and instead vote for Kamala even though her and Joe got you in this position with this horrible economy?

[00:15:39] And how important is this issue to you, the economy?

[00:15:42] And what's your current economic situation like?

[00:15:47] Our number, of course, 704-570-1110.

[00:15:50] We have a couple lines open, 704-570-1110.

[00:15:52] Let's go to David, a small business owner.

[00:15:55] Cannot wait to hear from you, sir, on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:16:00] Thanks for letting me on the show, Chris.

[00:16:02] Thank you for calling.

[00:16:03] I'm really looking forward to it.

[00:16:04] Seriously, go ahead.

[00:16:05] Yeah, we're small business owners, and I've raised my prices twice.

[00:16:10] I raised them one time under Obama whenever the price of gasoline got up to $4 a gallon.

[00:16:15] And then I had to raise them up again under Biden right after he went into office and gas jumped up close to $4 a gallon.

[00:16:22] The reason being gasoline is our number one expense in the little business that we've got.

[00:16:29] Can you describe the type of business?

[00:16:32] Can you describe?

[00:16:33] I would imagine you don't want to say your business name, but can you describe the type of business?

[00:16:39] Like are you a delivery service or do you fix things but you have to drive around all over the place with your guys and gals?

[00:16:44] Tell me what kind of business.

[00:16:47] We actually have a service business where we take care of people's animals and pets while they're at work or while they're on vacation.

[00:16:55] Got it.

[00:16:56] So you're driving a lot.

[00:16:58] We're driving a lot.

[00:16:59] I put sometimes 200 miles a day from location to location taking care of different animals.

[00:17:06] What is the average price for an animal care, just without getting into the details or in the weeds, what was it before Biden and what is it now?

[00:17:16] For example.

[00:17:17] Well, before my first price, it was $15 for a 30-minute visit.

[00:17:23] Now I'm up to 22.

[00:17:24] Plus, if you have more than a certain number of animals, it goes up, up, up.

[00:17:30] So it's a $7 increase for one visit.

[00:17:34] Yeah.

[00:17:34] And if you look at the – what's the percentage of that?

[00:17:36] Do you – you probably ran that.

[00:17:39] Like is that a 10% increase, a 20% increase?

[00:17:41] Just curious.

[00:17:43] I really haven't ran the numbers on there.

[00:17:46] I just knew –

[00:17:47] Well, five out of 15 – yeah.

[00:17:50] Five out of 15 would be a 33% increase, I believe.

[00:17:53] So that's more than that.

[00:17:54] It's like probably a 38% increase.

[00:17:56] Okay, go ahead.

[00:17:56] Yeah.

[00:17:57] Yeah.

[00:17:57] I mean, it was just killing us.

[00:17:59] And what I – and I try not to talk politics of them, my customers.

[00:18:04] Of course not.

[00:18:04] Because the right and left, both their money's green.

[00:18:07] Yes, that's exactly right.

[00:18:10] I've had some of my customers really pull it out of me.

[00:18:13] And all they want to talk to me about is January 6th.

[00:18:16] Yes.

[00:18:17] Or how the gasoline prices went up because Russia invaded Ukraine.

[00:18:23] And I tell them, the dadgum gas was going up before that ever happened.

[00:18:27] Right.

[00:18:28] And if you want to talk to me about January 6th, what happened in all the George Floyd things?

[00:18:33] Nothing's going on with that.

[00:18:34] Sir, St. George Floyd.

[00:18:36] Blessed be his name.

[00:18:37] Go ahead.

[00:18:38] I know.

[00:18:39] And just kidding me.

[00:18:40] But what I can't get people to understand is when the price of fuel went up, everything you buy at the grocery store, the department store, everything you buy has to get to that store somehow.

[00:18:51] And it's trucked in.

[00:18:54] And the people that own small businesses or grocery stores, they have to pay the energy prices to chill it, to cool it, or to heat it, or to have the lights on.

[00:19:04] They have to pay the grocery store, people that employ there that have to make more money because they can't afford to live with the wages.

[00:19:11] They have to pay for extra for the people that transport the goods that come to their store at all.

[00:19:18] It continues on and on.

[00:19:19] Thank you for your great call.

[00:19:21] Let's go now to Dave.

[00:19:22] Yeah.

[00:19:24] Oh, sorry.

[00:19:25] Let's go to Dave.

[00:19:26] Dave, you are on News Talk 1110 and 993 WBT.

[00:19:30] Chris in for Pete.

[00:19:30] Hello.

[00:19:32] Yes, sir.

[00:19:33] I have a question.

[00:19:35] Everybody keeps – you're on the economy.

[00:19:40] Politicians this past week, one group said they got $200 million for the week, and the other group said they got $100 million for the week.

[00:19:47] Yes.

[00:19:50] How bad is the economy if they can send that much money in?

[00:19:54] Have you ever seen a sold-out NASCAR race?

[00:20:00] Where does all that money come from?

[00:20:04] They go to sporting events.

[00:20:08] Well, I mean –

[00:20:09] Okay.

[00:20:09] I'm going to answer that.

[00:20:10] How can the country complain about an economy when you're spending money to sit and watch a sporting event?

[00:20:16] No problem.

[00:20:17] I can answer that.

[00:20:18] Number two – okay.

[00:20:18] The first one is where's the – how are the people able to afford $100 million or $200 million?

[00:20:24] I know it's the same people for Kamala.

[00:20:27] She got $200 million in a week.

[00:20:28] The people that put that money in are the people that installed her without a vote.

[00:20:33] Those are the people that control the Democrat Party, Barack Obama and billionaire folks and Hollywood folks.

[00:20:39] No, those are small donor votes.

[00:20:41] Those are small donor donations.

[00:20:42] No, no, no.

[00:20:43] Billionaires are small donors?

[00:20:46] No.

[00:20:47] I know they make their contribution.

[00:20:49] I know they put their ads out.

[00:20:51] You just had Mark Cuban –

[00:20:53] Those are small donor contributions just like Trump's asking.

[00:20:55] Trump was asking for $5 contributions.

[00:20:57] Yeah, I know, but did you – have you looked at the – sir?

[00:21:00] People have the money –

[00:21:01] Well, I mean –

[00:21:01] Have you – no, wait.

[00:21:02] One second.

[00:21:03] Have you looked at the percentage because you're saying those are small donors?

[00:21:06] The $200 million is not small donors.

[00:21:07] Have you looked at the percentage of small donors in that?

[00:21:09] Have you looked at that?

[00:21:12] I don't have the breakdown.

[00:21:13] No, because that's why you're saying the small donors.

[00:21:15] I think you're so wrong.

[00:21:16] I'll look it up coming up, but I think you're terribly mistaken on that.

[00:21:20] Well, you're going to look it up.

[00:21:21] Well, because –

[00:21:23] You know anybody in accusation?

[00:21:25] No, no.

[00:21:26] Here's what I will say.

[00:21:26] You don't know that, and you've said it as fact.

[00:21:29] I disagree with you, and I think you're incorrect.

[00:21:31] The gas prices are controlled by the gas company.

[00:21:33] Okay.

[00:21:34] Listen, I appreciate your call, and the other reason why is because of this.

[00:21:40] Credit cards.

[00:21:41] What did you hear earlier?

[00:21:42] Credit card debt is at one of the highest levels it's ever been at, and people are refinancing –

[00:21:48] I mean, I gave you the stories in this Wall Street Journal piece.

[00:21:51] One couple took out a home equity line credit from their $230,000 house.

[00:21:54] Another time, they earned $130,000.

[00:21:58] People are putting on credit cards.

[00:22:01] They're living beyond their means.

[00:22:03] This is going to crash.

[00:22:04] It's not good.

[00:22:05] The donors are real simple.

[00:22:06] As always, the lion's share of donations to Kamala and to Trump are big donors.

[00:22:12] It is 60% of Kamala's donors are big donors – large donors' donations, and Trump is at – 69% are large donors.

[00:22:24] So 60% and 69% respectively, pretty much the same thing.

[00:22:27] Lion's share is large donors.

[00:22:29] That's how it works.

[00:22:30] That's politics.

[00:22:32] Unfortunately, that just is what it is.

[00:22:34] Okay.

[00:22:34] Now, let's go back to your call on how likely are you to overlook your economic situation and instead vote for Kamala,

[00:22:41] even though her and Biden got us into this situation with high inflation and no matter how much money we make, we're still losing on average.

[00:22:50] Do not believe me.

[00:22:51] Look it up.

[00:22:52] We're still – every hour you work, you're still losing money because of Bidenomics and Bidenflation and Kamala-nomics and Kamala-inflation.

[00:22:59] How important is the economic – the economy to you as an issue, and what's your current economic situation like in this economy?

[00:23:08] Our number is 704-570-1110.

[00:23:11] Alex, Alex, you are on News Talk 1110 and 993.

[00:23:15] Chris in WBT.

[00:23:16] Chris in for Pete.

[00:23:17] Hello.

[00:23:18] Hey, Chris.

[00:23:19] How you doing, man?

[00:23:19] I appreciate you taking a call.

[00:23:21] Yes, sir.

[00:23:22] I'm actually from Charlotte, North Carolina, born and raised, and I never really paid attention.

[00:23:27] I'm actually 31 years old.

[00:23:28] I never really cared about politics or the election too much until this election right now.

[00:23:34] And they say every year we have an election, you know, this is the biggest, most important one.

[00:23:39] Yeah.

[00:23:41] And it is by far one of the most important ones that we have.

[00:23:45] And hopefully I hope, you know, more younger people stay in tune with what's going on.

[00:23:50] But, Chris, I actually have a quick question.

[00:23:53] You know, you talked about the whole Israel and Hamas war earlier and about how Hamas – on October 7th, they stormed Israel.

[00:24:03] And, you know, they also raped women, beheaded children, and everything like that, which, you know, whatever happened, happened.

[00:24:12] They gang raped one woman and cut her breast off and played with it and laughed and threw it on the ground.

[00:24:19] And then they executed her.

[00:24:20] Another woman was shot in the head towards the end of a gang rape.

[00:24:24] Anyway, yeah, they also – one of the prisoners, one of the male hostages – not prisoner, hostage.

[00:24:28] He was released.

[00:24:29] He's the first male to come out and say they raped him in captivity.

[00:24:33] Now, how many men come out and say that when it's not true?

[00:24:35] I don't know.

[00:24:36] And the U.N. also said – they said yes, they are sexually torturing, raping women that have kidnapped, that are being released, the ones that are being released.

[00:24:45] They investigated.

[00:24:45] The U.N. said yes.

[00:24:46] And they don't like Israel, by the way.

[00:24:47] Go ahead.

[00:24:48] Okay, fair enough.

[00:24:49] I just have a quick question, Chris, with all respect with this question.

[00:24:53] You know, on the internet, I do use Instagram and Facebook and all this other stuff just like my generation does.

[00:25:00] But I always see pictures of what's happening in Gaza as far as children being beheaded, whatever the case may be.

[00:25:08] There's no reports of children being beheaded by Israeli soldiers.

[00:25:13] But you said it earlier.

[00:25:15] No, those are the terrorists, Hamas, that went in and did that.

[00:25:19] They did that.

[00:25:20] So I have a question.

[00:25:21] You know, there's so many pictures coming out of Gaza and whatnot, what's happening.

[00:25:26] We have not seen any pictures from Israel about these claims that they make.

[00:25:30] And I just want to know, you know, how do we keep on seeing things getting published out of Gaza?

[00:25:36] But we rarely ever see anything getting published from Israel that this is what's happening.

[00:25:40] You're on social media.

[00:25:42] You get your news from social media.

[00:25:43] That's why.

[00:25:44] If you go to Twitter or X, whatever you want to call it, I still call it Twitter because I can't stand calling it X, you'll see a lot more truth.

[00:25:50] They don't – the people that run Meta and Facebook hate my values.

[00:25:55] They hate me.

[00:25:56] They hate Donald Trump.

[00:25:57] They have wiped out the assassination for finding it, images of.

[00:26:03] So what do you think you're getting there?

[00:26:04] And if you're on TikTok, that's a Chinese malware app controlled and run by the Chinese Communist Party.

[00:26:10] So it's used heavily pro-Palestinian, pro-Gaza, pro-Hamas.

[00:26:14] The Chinese do.

[00:26:15] They're very tight with Hamas.

[00:26:16] I'm not making that up.

[00:26:17] But I'm just – my just main question is we see so much get published out of there, but we never see anything get published from Israel.

[00:26:25] So that's why.

[00:26:26] I see tons of it.

[00:26:26] I see it in the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal.

[00:26:29] I see it on Twitter.

[00:26:31] It's everywhere.

[00:26:31] So I don't – I think you need to have good news sources, and I think that's what the problem is, my friend.

[00:26:37] Just go to Twitter and follow people that are – if you're – people that –

[00:26:42] And I will admit that is what's wrong with our generation.

[00:26:45] That's it.

[00:26:45] That's it.

[00:26:46] I'm guilty of it.

[00:26:47] They hate our values.

[00:26:48] That's why you're seeing what you're seeing because they want you to think that the Jews and Israelis are bad,

[00:26:52] and they want you to say from the river to the sea, which means kill 8 million Jews, 9 million Jews in Israel, and wipe it off the map.

[00:26:58] I got to roll, my friend, but thank you for your call, and let's go to Peggy.

[00:27:02] Peggy, you are on News Talk 1110 at 993 WBT.

[00:27:05] Chris in for Pete.

[00:27:06] Hello.

[00:27:07] Hey.

[00:27:08] Yeah.

[00:27:09] You were asking about the effect of the economy.

[00:27:11] I'm retired, fixed income.

[00:27:14] I have – I'm just sitting home, not doing anything because I can't afford to go out.

[00:27:19] I barely can buy groceries.

[00:27:21] What do you think about voting for Kamala?

[00:27:23] She wants to –

[00:27:24] I'm sure I'm not the only one to afford to buy gas to drive around.

[00:27:25] What do you think about Kamala?

[00:27:26] She wants to –

[00:27:29] Yeah, what do you think about Kamala?

[00:27:31] She wants you to help pay for college debt of people that are upper middle class and such with what you have left.

[00:27:39] And are you going to vote for Kamala and overlook the economy right now, the situation?

[00:27:44] No, I am not going to vote for Kamala.

[00:27:47] No, absolutely not.

[00:27:48] Do you understand why people would because this is a movement?

[00:27:51] It's like voting for Barack all over again, a female version of Barack, even though we understand –

[00:27:56] Yeah.

[00:27:56] Yeah.

[00:27:57] I'm sure.

[00:27:58] Probably –

[00:27:58] We're in a bad place.

[00:27:59] We're in a bad place, aren't we?

[00:28:01] Barack didn't put us in the situation we're in now.

[00:28:04] I mean, I didn't vote for him.

[00:28:06] But he's – the new Barack is her, and he's waited long so you will not hear about how she's against everything she says she's now for, which means she has no character.

[00:28:15] Well, let me ask you something.

[00:28:17] I was watching or listening, maybe reading the Epoch Times.

[00:28:21] I don't know if you know that.

[00:28:22] Yeah, they're good.

[00:28:23] They're good.

[00:28:23] Yeah.

[00:28:24] Go ahead.

[00:28:25] There is an investigation about all these supposedly small donors that are giving to the Democratic Party that are – I'll give you one example that was in the –

[00:28:37] We got 30 seconds.

[00:28:39] We got 25 seconds.

[00:28:40] Go.

[00:28:40] Okay.

[00:28:41] Okay.

[00:28:41] An elderly woman, 78 years old, gave 562 times to the Democratic Party $10 to $35 each time.

[00:28:52] They said she would have had to – and then they tried to reach her and couldn't find her.

[00:28:56] I don't doubt it.

[00:28:57] I got a roll, but well said.

[00:28:58] You made the timeline.

[00:28:59] Good job.

[00:29:00] I don't doubt that.

[00:29:01] The Epoch Times is a good source.

[00:29:02] All right.

[00:29:03] That'll do it for this episode.

[00:29:04] Thank you so much for listening.
