[00:00:29] I just feel like if you are going to smear the Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina saying that he wants to kill liberals, Democrats, because that's what they're saying. I mean, I'll, I'll, I'll sack you back to that in a second.

[00:00:44] But the, like, if you're going to smear him over his comments in a speech, I feel like you need to know what the speech was about. So I pulled probably about, I don't know, nine, I would like 12 minutes out of a 30 minute speech.

[00:01:02] And we went through about nine minutes of it, eight minutes of it. I've got about, I got one more clip, five minutes long from the speech that he delivered at Lake Church in White Lake, North Carolina, just before Independence Day.

[00:01:17] And the focus was on freedom and the responsibility that Americans have to repay the debt that was paid with blood by people who gave their lives for this American project.

[00:01:33] Now, I would be remiss if I did not point out how often people on the left, and I love y'all, but it's not all about you. And I think, I think the sooner that you, you realize that not everything is about you

[00:01:52] all the time, then I think you might be a little bit happier. You know, he's not talking about you. Now, if you're a Nazi, then I guess maybe he's talking about you. Right? If you're out there saying death to Jews and all of that, then okay, maybe.

[00:02:08] But he's talking about evil. In this speech at a church, he's talking about evil and how Americans used to know what evil looked like and would push back with force and kill people in countries that were evil and threatening us. Right?

[00:02:36] And then, and he personalized it with families and he puts himself in the shoes of the parents and grandparents of soldiers. And it was a powerful speech, but that's not what the left focused on.

[00:02:53] Because again, it's a matter of creating, I went over this in the last hour, it's a matter of creating a litany of examples and running through them and say, look at all this evidence, even though every single one of the examples, when you actually go into

[00:03:10] them and you watch the speeches, you listen to what he's talking about and you realize, oh, that's not the framing that he used. That's not the story he was telling. That wasn't the point of the message or your misconstruing.

[00:03:25] The most egregious one for me was the post he made on Facebook that was twisted into somehow Holocaust denial. And I'm sad to say that there were Republicans that I respect that engaged in that twisting.

[00:03:44] When it was quite clear that he was talking about the disarming of the German population before the Nazis took over. And if you know the history of what occurred there, he was exactly right. He wasn't promoting Nazism. He wasn't defending Hitler or Nazis or anything like that.

[00:04:08] But that's the way it was twisted by his political opponents. And so now, let me see here. Do I have one of the, I'm seeing if I highlighted one of the lists of all of the things. Well, I'll find it.

[00:04:29] I'll play the next clip and then during the clip here, I'll play the or I'll find the rundown. Oh, yeah, here it is right there. I just found it. Never mind. OK, pivot. All right.

[00:04:41] Robinson, this is from the New Republic article that started all of this over the July 4th holiday weekend by Greg Sargent. And this was he says here, video of the speech was clipped by a Democrat who took it off

[00:04:56] Lake Church's video of the event on Facebook, which is still there in full. The Democrat flagged it for the New Republic. So what does that mean? It means a Democrat sent it to you. A Democrat took the audio, sent it to you and said, look at this.

[00:05:13] He says we should be killed. Robinson, a self-described MAGA Republican, has a long history of wildly radical and unhinged moments. He has linked homosexuality to pedophilia, called for the arrest of trans women, pushed hallucinogenic anti-Semitic conspiracy theories, endorsed the vile birther conspiracy about

[00:05:30] Barack Obama, described Michelle Obama as a man hinted at the need to violently oppose federal law enforcement in the government and posted memes mocking and denying the brutal violent assault on Nancy Pelosi's husband, among many other things.

[00:05:43] That is an example of what I'm talking about, where they take a list of these things. Every single one of them, a standalone story. But they reduce it down to two or three words and then they cram them, they smush them into a run-on sentence.

[00:06:00] And it gives this perception of, oh my gosh, all these things. And this story now will become one of those lists of things. I've said this from the beginning that when you have the social media footprint that Mark

[00:06:14] Robinson has, because his first run for office was lieutenant governor. He's only been there three years. So he's left everything on his Facebook page, he's talked about all this stuff and so they've

[00:06:27] been going over all of his social media, they've been pulling all of this stuff out and then they use it to attack him with. And that's how you end up with all of this stuff.

[00:06:42] AP Dillon, over at her Substack, she writes also for North State Journal, but she's got a substack.com, apdillon.substack.com. She says the North Carolina Democratic Party quickly posted on Twitter, formerly X, about this article with state and national Democrats then piling on.

[00:07:05] And the Democrat Party's post was called out by Robinson's campaign communications director, Mike Lonergan. Or Lonergan. He said, quote, absolute gutter lies from the shameless hacks of Joe Biden's campaign and the North Carolina Democrat Party.

[00:07:23] They were defending the Axis powers when Mark Robinson was applauding the brave Americans that fought in and won World War Two. And that is what he was doing. He's literally talking about World War Two, Nazis, Imperial Japan. They came over, they attacked us. He mentions Vietnam as well.

[00:07:48] But that's who he identified by name. She goes on to say the theme continued from there with Robinson saying the same boldness seen by those who died for our freedoms should be exhibited by Americans every day today.

[00:08:02] It's not until the one hour and 55 mark that he begins the comments on taking down the Nazis and Japanese after Pearl Harbor that precede the some folks need killing clip that's being circulated. Well, that's the other thing, too, I've noticed is that they've abandoned the clip.

[00:08:19] They've abandoned the clip. Now it's just an image of Mark Robinson looking sort of like Joe Biden at that unifying speech he gave in Philadelphia with a big, you know, the black and red backdrop that united everybody. Right. Remember that speech? Dark Brandon.

[00:08:40] So they've just taken a picture of him with like a red background and like it's like some black effects behind him and stuff. So he's looking and he's yelling, really angry. And then it's just as some people need killing, quote, like in quotes.

[00:08:57] And the message there is that he's going to kill you. He hates you, he wants you to die, and that's not what he was saying at all. But. Politics, it ain't being bad, right, guys, by the way, what happened to the calls for

[00:09:15] elevating the conversation and the and our politics and stuff, is that still a thing? Are we still are we still concerned about Donald Trump and the norms that he has destroyed is that. When you're when you're telling people that that a candidate wants to kill them,

[00:09:34] I saw and there was an earlier caller about this to Mike was calling in about in the first hour about a post that was made by Kenneth Vogel. At The New York Times, who has a quote from Biden at a private on a private call with

[00:09:54] donors yesterday who said it's time to put Trump in the bullseye. And do you remember? I'm old enough to remember. When any kind of a reference to a bullseye or a target or a symbol like that, a little round circle with the crosshairs on it, you

[00:10:11] know, like if you used anything like that in any kind of a political ad or or memo or something that that meant you were calling for people to be murdered. Remember Sarah Palin and her map that they blamed her, the Democrats and media, but I

[00:10:28] repeat myself, they blamed her. For the attack on Gabby Giffords, even though the shooter was insane and had never seen the map, but they blamed Sarah Palin for it. Because of the the the target over the district, they were targeting districts. For congressional defeat.

[00:10:50] And her district had a bullseye on it. And then some madman who had been stalking her and writing crazy letters about how the U.N. and mind control and language and grammar is all a plot or something. He was insane.

[00:11:04] And he went and tried to murder her and did murder a couple other people that were there at an event of hers. And she got blamed. For that attack. But I guess it's different when Democrats do it.

[00:11:16] An email from Bob to Pete at the Pete calendar show dot com. Bob says Pete, Lieutenant Governor Robinson is a political leader grounded by an assurance of the resurrection and its affirmation by our declaration of independence. I'm with him.

[00:11:35] Dennis says the Democrats response to Robinson's speech reminds me of the sitcom Dobie Gillis from the 60s, whereby Bob Denver, you may know him as Gilligan, played an out of work beatnik Maynard G. Krebs, who when asked to get a job would freak out and holler work.

[00:11:55] Here's another one from Mark. When you talk about Robinson and Stein debating, you imply these are the two candidates. When I hear this, I think of MASH when Hawkeye went on his liver or fish rant because those were always and only his two choices.

[00:12:11] Second, asked that this place is fine. Green corn. Thank you for the entree today. Here it comes. Steady. We have liver or fish. I didn't hear you say that because it isn't possible. It's inhuman to serve the same food day after day.

[00:12:45] The Geneva Convention prohibits the killing of our taste buds. Easy. I simply cannot eat the same food every day. Fish liver day after day. I've eaten a river of liver in an ocean of fish. I've eaten so much fish, I'm ready to grow gills.

[00:13:02] I've eaten so much liver, I can only make love if I'm smothered in bacon and onions. Are we going to stand for this? We're going to let them do this to us? No, I say no. We're not going to eat this dreck anymore. We want something else!

[00:13:16] We want something else! We want something else! We want something else! We're free to the world or die! You have nothing to lose but your cookies! We want something else! We want something else! We want something else! Wait, wait, wait. We're going to lose cookies?

[00:13:33] To be fair, to be fair, Mike Ross is also running for governor. He is the libertarian candidate. We had him on the program. We've interviewed him. Mike Ross, libertarian. He is another candidate besides Robinson and Stein.

[00:13:48] All right, the final clip from the speech that Lieutenant Governor Mark Robinson gave at the church just before Independence Day. Robinson said that we need to be as bold as our forefathers in defending our liberties

[00:14:05] and we should not be afraid and never take a step back when our freedoms are challenged. You should protect your freedom at all costs, folks. You see, there's a class of people in this nation that want you to forget that because they want control. They want control.

[00:14:26] They don't care about Democrat. They don't care about Republican. They don't care about anything. They care about control. They want control and the trappings that come with it. That's why they despise America. You see, being the king is all about being in control.

[00:14:49] When those men on 1776, when they sent that letter to King George, when they sent it to him, King George knew he had lost control and he knew he would never get it back no matter what he did. You know, I can almost see him now reading that letter.

[00:15:05] I bet he was steaming hot just like on a little cartoon they used to show. He probably threw it down and started jumping up and down on top of it.

[00:15:16] He put his red coats in boats and sent them on over here and said, go take care of them guys for me. But see, there was a little problem here. King George was used to fighting wars over possessions.

[00:15:28] King George was used to fighting over land and King George was used to fighting people who were fighting for the concept of what we call plunder. King George's men weren't ready to fight people who were ready to fight for a concept, for

[00:15:46] belief, for an idea unseen, for a nation unseen. He wasn't ready for that. And you know, in a lot of ways, that's what's wrong with our country right now. We've become so highfalutin and so educated and we got Google, so we don't need God anymore.

[00:16:04] So we've forgotten our founding ideas, forgotten who we are, forgotten the concepts that we're fighting for. And because we have, we now find ourselves struggling with people who have evil intents. You know, there's a time when we used to meet evil on the battlefield and guess what we

[00:16:22] did to it? We killed it. We didn't quibble about it. We didn't argue about it. We didn't fight about it. We killed it. When the Japanese bombed Pearl Harbor, what did we do? We flew to Japan and we killed the Japanese army and navy.

[00:16:40] We didn't even quibble about it. I didn't start this fight, you did. You wanted to be left alone, you should have left me alone. We didn't argue and capitulate and talk about, well, maybe we shouldn't fight the Nazis that hard. No, they're bad. Kill them.

[00:16:58] Some liberal somewhere is going to say that sounds awful. Too bad. Get mad at me if you want to. Some folks need killing. It's time for somebody to say it. It's not a matter of vengeance. It's not a matter of being mean or spiteful.

[00:17:23] It's a matter of necessity. We have wicked people doing wicked things, torturing and murdering and raping. It's time to call out those guys in green and go have them handled. Or those boys in blue and have them go handle it.

[00:17:39] You start handling our business again because guys, what I said at the beginning about you getting in your cars, listening to your radio, putting on what you want to put on and saying what you want to put on, keep thinking about it. Don't you feel it slipping away?

[00:17:59] Don't you feel it slipping away? All right. So he makes this argument. That's the argument right there, was that you had the Nazis, you had the imperialist Japanese after the attack on Pearl Harbor.

[00:18:14] And he said, because we have forgotten our ideals and what we are fighting for, what we are about, we are now struggling with people with evil intent. And it makes it difficult to know because we don't know what we are about. This is a common theme.

[00:18:36] He's been talking about it for three years. I've got audio clips of him saying these very same sentiments. It's a call to action, to defend the concepts and ideals of our founding, to protect your

[00:18:51] freedom because there are people that want us to forget this so they can control us. That's the point. Now, if you think he's talking about you, I think that may say more about you than it does about him. But that's the end.

[00:19:09] Like that, that portion right there to me is the contained thought. He then continues. The further away we get from the concept of 1776 and why we declared our independence and how we declared our independence, the further we start sliding into making 1776

[00:19:27] a distant memory and the tenants of socialism and communism start coming into clearer focus. That's the control part. They're watching us. They're listening to us. They're tracking us. They get mad at you. They cancel you. They dox you. They kick you off social media.

[00:19:46] They come in and close down your business. Folks it's happening. And the reason why I would submit to you, the reason why it's happening to us is because we have forgotten who we are, where we came from, and who paid the price to get us to

[00:20:03] where we are. We were bought with a price and so was this nation. And that price was blood. The very first blood was the blood of Jesus Christ, which is to wash our sins away, to

[00:20:17] make us holy, and to give us the wisdom to be able to operate. And all the blood that has followed since has been the blood of men and women who love this nation, who are willing to lay down their lives for us.

[00:20:30] They didn't know us, couldn't see us, but they knew of us and they knew what we could become. And now it is time for us to show them what we will do for their sacrifice and what we will do with their freedom.

[00:20:45] Will you lay down and let it be washed away? Or will you stand up and make sure that it's preserved? All right, so that is the entire context of his comments. And for some reason, North Carolina Democrats have decided they're going to defend the Axis

[00:21:03] powers of World War II. It is a bold strategy, Cotton. We'll see if it works out for them. It's sad that in an effort to score political points, in an effort to stoke fear in people

[00:21:20] that you really need to vote for you, you have to manipulate information like that. It's sad, you know, because that's what's going on. And the worst part is, is that you can show the whole clip and you can see what he's talking about and it doesn't matter.

[00:21:36] That's how blatant it is. It doesn't matter. They know the people who promoted this smear, promoted the lie. They know that 99% of the people that watch the 10 second clip or read the headline or see the little graphic that they drew up, that's all they're going to look at.

[00:22:00] And it will confirm their priors, which by the way, that's bigotry, right? When you don't allow any new information to disabuse you of your prejudgment, your prejudice, that's bigotry. And so they count on that. They rely on the bigotry and they've been doing it for years, right?

[00:22:21] Like they're going to throw you all back in chains, right? Same same thing, same idea. They're promoting the idea that a political party wants to kill you. And what Robinson was talking about and whatever the connection was between like these lefties

[00:22:41] think that he was making, he's talking about a path that societies proceed down that takes you to total control. I've talked about this before, like the on the political spectrum, people talk about left and right. The linear graph is actually anarchy versus tyranny.

[00:23:06] Anarchy being no government and tyranny versus meaning total government, right? No control versus total control. And the idea is you want to be more towards the anarchy side. That's what the founders drew up.

[00:23:20] This idea that you're going to be more towards the anarchy side than the tyranny side because they just threw off a tyrant and they were not interested in creating another one. So they said, let's get as close down to the line towards anarchy as possible and we'll

[00:23:35] govern ourselves. But we have to be able to do so, right? And so what Robinson is charting is this pathway that goes from total control, well where we are now to total control. And he's issuing a warning to people because down that path of total control, like that's

[00:23:58] not free market capitalism. Free market capitalism doesn't put you under total control, right? In fact, it can lead to the opposite. But the pathway that he's talking about is towards total control and that is collectivism, that is communism.

[00:24:14] And by the way, not for nothing, but it's got a body count of about 100 million people. So that was his message to the church before Independence Day. Now I would be remiss if I did not mention this also. Sometimes not every tweet is a winner, all right?

[00:24:37] And the city of Charlotte had one such tweet. They issued it on July 4th. July is the seventh month, right? July 4th is the fourth day of the seventh month. So somebody over there, and I don't know who it is and it's not important, maybe an intern

[00:24:54] or something, but they thought this would be a totally fantastic idea to make July 4th not Independence Day, but 704 because our area code is 704 and 704 is July 4. And so they sent out a tweet and it said, well, it also had a picture of the WBT Sky

[00:25:18] Show fireworks, which they did not attribute to us, of course, but that's a separate issue. City of Charlotte says, quote, some people call it Independence Day. Some people call it the fourth of July. Here we call it 704. Happy 704 Day, Charlotte.

[00:25:40] So I feel like I did not know that this would be necessary, but literally nobody calls it 704 Day, okay? Literally nobody calls it that. No one calls it 704. If you are listening from outside of the 704 area code, outside the city of Charlotte and

[00:26:00] you think, oh my gosh, do these Charlatans actually call Independence Day 704 Day? No, we do not. We don't do that. Nobody does that. I don't know why the city of Charlotte would tweet this out. A lapse of sanity or something occurred. I don't know.

[00:26:17] Hitting the sauce a little early on the fourth. I don't know, but nobody calls it 704 Day. The best time to have deleted that tweet was right after they posted it. And the second best time to delete that tweet is now. You still can do it.

[00:26:36] I know it's a week almost later, but you can still do that. City of Charlotte Twitter account runner. Okay? It's Independence Day. I say sometimes I will say 4th of July as well, but I try to make a point to say Independence Day because that's the day.

[00:26:53] There's a reason, right? To channel my inner Mark Robinson, right? Let's remember where we came from here. It's Independence Day and it darn sure is not 704 Day in Charlotte. All right, that'll do it for this episode. Thank you so much for listening.
