[00:00:27] for your support. I'm looking at the Twitter machine which by the way if you want to follow

[00:00:31] me, at Pete Kaliner, it's where we do the wet work, where he mix it up, get a little bit

[00:00:37] rowdy. And I've had Sloan, what's Sloan Rackmouth on the program before we talked with

[00:00:45] her about she was organizing a rally for the hostages, the Israelis that were kidnapped

[00:00:54] still being held hostage many of them by the terrorist organization Hamas. And she was

[00:01:01] organizing a pro-Israel rally, a rally for the hostages a couple of months ago and we had

[00:01:06] her on the program. She has been a big proponent, a booster for Michelle Moro who won the Republican

[00:01:18] primary for state superintendent of public instruction. And I just saw this tweet from Sloan

[00:01:28] on the on Twitter on the NC politics hashtag, which is NCPOL by the way if you are ever

[00:01:35] interested in following North Carolina state politics that's where you want to go go

[00:01:39] to the hashtag, which is just the number sign and then NCPOL and people will tag things

[00:01:45] that are related to North Carolina politics and they tag it so it sort of aggregates all

[00:01:50] in that hashtag feed. And so in case you weren't aware, there's been some reporting, there's

[00:02:00] a little bit on Michelle Moro who won in an upset these the superintendent race on the

[00:02:07] GOP primary side beating Catherine Truitt, the incumbent. Okay. Michelle Moro was an activist

[00:02:15] to I think she had run for a school board seat in Wake County lost and that's the extent

[00:02:21] of her political experience. And so this was a huge upset. And now we're hearing all

[00:02:29] of these and seeing all of these posts that she made Michelle Moro had made on Twitter

[00:02:35] and on parlor. I don't know about Facebook, I've just seen Twitter and parlor. So

[00:02:44] now get to those tweets in a minute, but I'm seeing this the defense of Michelle Moro.

[00:02:51] Well, yeah, okay. The defense of Michelle Moro calling for the execution of former president

[00:03:00] Barack Obama. That's what Michelle Moro tweeted wanted to see him die by firing squad and

[00:03:08] televised it. I think to raise money or something is what she wanted to do. Don't know if

[00:03:14] that's a quote joke, but that was what she had tweeted out a couple of years ago. And

[00:03:21] so now there is this there's this rush to defend her, which by the way just this goes for

[00:03:27] anybody any politician and you know, me I always say, you know, don't fall in love with

[00:03:31] politicians. They'll break your heart. But this goes for any politician really, which

[00:03:37] is you don't have to defend them all the time. I don't know who needs to hear this, but

[00:03:44] some people probably do need to hear it, but you don't need to defend everything that everybody

[00:03:49] says all the time. You don't have to with a politician who's saying something that is you

[00:03:55] know, indefensible. You don't have to try to defend it. You could just say, yeah, no,

[00:03:59] that's pretty bad. She shouldn't have said that. You can say that. That's allowed. Nobody's

[00:04:05] perfect. Nobody's infallible. People say stupid stuff all the time. I mean, for real,

[00:04:10] like look at me. I've made a career out of it. Not a joke. Not a joke. So the defense now

[00:04:20] I've seen Sloan is coming to and I believe their friends, but she's coming to Michelle Moro's

[00:04:27] defense. And here is the here's the defense is the only defense really that I have seen presented.

[00:04:33] And it is one of the, it is a defense against double standards. And on this, I am completely

[00:04:39] sympathetic on. I agree with this. You know me. I'm always arguing for a consistent application

[00:04:47] of a standard. And so if the standard is hey, you know what we really should have be calling

[00:04:51] for the deaths of political opponents, right? That's not a good look. Shouldn't do that.

[00:04:56] We should expect more from our elected officials because after all and elected or politics

[00:05:02] is the ability to sort differences out without violence, right? Otherwise if you can't

[00:05:08] sort out your differences, uh, peaceably with words and policies and legal challenges

[00:05:14] and that sort of stuff. Then all that's left is violence. And then you don't really have

[00:05:18] the society anymore. You don't have a functioning civilization, right? You've got, you got war

[00:05:22] lords and stuff or as, you know, libertarians call it utopia. I'm kidding. I'm kidding.

[00:05:29] It's just a joke. It is just a joke libertarians. Anyway, Sloan Rockmouth she says, hey, remember

[00:05:40] when the North Carolina Democrat party candidate called for the murder of all Republican voters

[00:05:46] in North Carolina? I sure do and I'm not going to allow voters to forget it. And then

[00:05:52] she's got a screenshot of a fellow by the name of Mo Davis. Does that name ring a bell? All

[00:06:03] my pals in Western North Carolina know that name very well. Mo Davis, he knows my name pretty

[00:06:10] well because he was running for Congress as, as a Democrat and as a, you know, retired. I think

[00:06:22] he was, was he air force? He was Colonel. I remember, I don't remember if he was Air Force or

[00:06:28] if he was Navy, I forget, but he was, or Army, I forget, but he was a lawyer. And remember,

[00:06:37] he had resigned over the treatment of the Gitmo detainees and all of this. So he was a,

[00:06:43] he was a very popular figure because he, you know, he spoke truth to power when that power was George

[00:06:49] W. Bush. Now, he did say some stuff against Obama at some point in, oh, no, no, they didn't like

[00:06:54] him for that. But forgive and forget because he was going to try to take out Madison Kaufforn

[00:07:00] in the Western 11th congressional district out there.

[00:07:04] And a lot was being made of Madison Kaufforn's tweets and, well, I mean just everything right? He

[00:07:11] was, as the kids say he was extra. You know, that's what the kids say. Extra. He was just extra.

[00:07:19] Madison Kaufforn was extra. So, uh, Mo Davis is running answer. I mean, he's being cast as this,

[00:07:27] you know, more of a conservative blue dog Democrat kind of candidate like a Heath Schuller.

[00:07:34] He was a long time congressman that represented Western North Carolina. He was a Democrat.

[00:07:41] Now I think he's a lobbyist for Duke, right? But he was a blue dog conservative Democrat.

[00:07:45] Right at one point, Heath Schuller was tried to unseat Nancy Pelosi who was too liberal, right?

[00:07:52] So that was the way he was presenting himself and everybody was kind of letting him

[00:07:57] be this, you know, play, play act this role. And I was asked if I could help moderate a debate

[00:08:03] between he and Kaufforn. And when I went to the debate, I read his tweets to him in this forum.

[00:08:12] And nobody had done any, even just a glance at his social media, at his Twitter profile.

[00:08:21] And when I read to him his really awful violent, I mean like almost like a

[00:08:27] like a violence fetish kind of obsession he had going. And he tried to say something like,

[00:08:36] oh, you know, well, I'm in the media. I work because he's a talking head on MSNBC. And so,

[00:08:40] you know, just like you and he's trying to like, he's trying to equate himself to me. I'm like,

[00:08:45] I don't ever say these things. What are you talking about?

[00:08:51] Remember when when NCGOP extremists go low, we stop their scrawny pasty next with our heels.

[00:08:59] And once you hear the sound of a crisp snap, you grind your heel hard and twisted slowly side

[00:09:07] to side for good measure. He needs to know who whoopped his, his bum. But he doesn't say bum.

[00:09:15] Cause you can't say bum. The word is unhoused. Anyway, um, that was what Mo Davis among several

[00:09:23] other tweets. That's what he had sent out. So this is, this is the, hey, what about your guy?

[00:09:31] Right? The North Carolina Democrats are now going to be all outraged about Michelle Moro's tweets.

[00:09:38] But they didn't care when it was their guy. And on that score, Sloan Rockmouth is correct.

[00:09:44] There is a, they're applying a double standard much like people on the right were outraged over

[00:09:49] Mo Davis's tweets. And now they're being asked to be outraged over Michelle Moro's. And so if

[00:09:56] they're not going to have a consistent application of the standard, then you're just as bad as the

[00:09:59] Democrats were. But here's the big takeaway from me. Mo Davis lost the race. He lost the race.

[00:11:27] CNN has the story that all of North Carolina's media and Democrats, but I repeat myself for talking

[00:11:33] about headline GOP nominee to run North Carolina public schools called for violence against

[00:11:38] Democrats, including executing Obama and Biden. And by the way, you know me, I'm not a huge fan

[00:11:45] of headline writers and a lot of reporters and the way they bias their stories and such. But I

[00:11:51] have to say in this case, they're not wrong. I will read to you what she says in her own words

[00:12:02] in her own tweet. Michelle Mauro, the Republican nominee for superintendent of public instruction

[00:12:07] in North Carolina says quote, I prefer a pay per view view of Obama in front of a firing squad.

[00:12:18] I do not want to waste another dime on supporting his life. We could make some money back from

[00:12:24] televising his death. This was a response to a or there's another post, I should say that is a

[00:12:33] response to a fake time magazine cover that featured artwork of Obama in an electric chair asking if he

[00:12:41] should be executed and she responds quote, death to all traders. And then there's another comment

[00:12:49] where she suggests in December 2020 killing Joe Biden who at that time was president-elect

[00:12:55] and had said he would ask Americans to wear a mask for 100 days. And she responded, never we need

[00:13:01] to follow the Constitution's advice and kill all traders. Hashtag justice for America.

[00:13:07] I'm going to go I'm going to adopt not even adopt I'm going to reiterate my consistent position.

[00:13:15] You should not call for the deaths of political enemies.

[00:13:22] Okay, there I think that's very clear right you should not do this.

[00:13:27] I understand people when you know when screaming in the echo chamber there's the natural tendency

[00:13:34] to prove that you're even more that you're even extra extra you know like you're beyond like I know

[00:13:40] you guys are saying like you would ban all rapes but I'm going to say that if it's a legitimate

[00:13:48] rape you're not even going to get pregnant. Like Todd Aiken did. This is why I've said for years

[00:13:53] I've said unchallenged ideas are easy to hold and when you are yelling in the echo chamber

[00:14:01] and everybody around you agrees with you on this stuff and there's this sort of egging on effect

[00:14:06] like for example well it's a similar way like you don't go to like you don't go to a Bible study

[00:14:15] to learn all the ways the Bible's wrong right. So in the same way when you are hanging out at your

[00:14:23] in your your political cocoon with people that all think like you right there is this sort of

[00:14:30] just a natural tendency because you all have this baseline of agreement on stuff and then you have

[00:14:34] to kind of differentiate yourself from the others in some way it's not enough to just be like I

[00:14:39] agree I agree there's like this pushing of the envelope. This happens in radio it happens in TV

[00:14:45] it happens in media all the time obviously and it happens on social media too. The problem is when

[00:14:51] you run for office and you've said these stupid things people might judge you harshly for you

[00:14:59] wanting to kill your political opponents advocating the killing of political opponents

[00:15:05] generally speaking not a winning strategy maybe in the primary it is but I don't even know

[00:15:13] in the primary if it is. I don't know if all this stuff had come out before him. I don't

[00:15:17] know if she would have done as well but what do I know just a little old radio host.

[00:15:23] All right do the current world events have you wondering whether we are teetering on the edge

[00:15:27] of catastrophe are you concerned it's going to reach our shores. Okay so what are you doing

[00:15:32] about your concerns? Let me help Carolina readiness supply at Carolina readiness dot com whether you're

[00:16:13] at WRAL where they threw in some of their own reporting like we did do a lot of these stories too.

[00:16:18] She has made comments on social media between talking about Michelle Moro who upset Catherine

[00:16:27] Truitt for the school superintendent race. This conservative activist. She's made comments on

[00:16:36] social media that have not been reviewed by CNN's K-File suggesting executing prominent

[00:16:44] Democrats for treason which that's the thing like yes treason is in the Constitution and

[00:16:52] that is the punishment for treason and so it is and by the way the right is not the only

[00:16:59] political wing here that says this sort of stuff. I'm old enough to remember when

[00:17:06] was it Game of Thrones put George W. Bush's head on a pike wasn't that remember that

[00:17:14] or how about uh Kathy Griffin holding up the severed head you know I think it was actually

[00:17:20] like a cantaloupe or something of Donald Trump remember they did that right the the calls for violence

[00:17:28] are should be rejected across the board and that's what Michelle Moro was doing and I only am

[00:17:37] saying this you don't have to defend her statements you don't you don't have to say that what she

[00:17:44] said was okay you don't have to say that CNN reached out to Moro and her campaign multiple times

[00:17:50] but did not receive a response after the article was published she went on to Twitter and said quote

[00:17:56] according to CNN Obama's drone attacks on hundreds of innocent Muslims in Yemen are not treasonous

[00:18:03] but they're okay but they're not drone attacks on Yemen that's not treason now if you were running

[00:18:17] drone attacks on say Los Angeles right on the Capitol on the Pentagon or what like then yes I could

[00:18:26] see that I don't understand why you would think that doing drone attacks as foreign policy

[00:18:33] overseas and all that but again you know look you can have these arguments but now you're trying

[00:18:38] to dress up your call to have him executed on TV to generate revenue as a pay per view thing

[00:18:46] haha what a joke I'm assuming I'm trying to get people the benefit of the doubt on this

[00:18:51] she said the insanity of the media demonstrates the need to teach K-12 students real history and

[00:18:59] critical thinking skills but I again I don't understand why why it would be treason

[00:19:10] but in a campaign speech back in February they go on to say here Moro advocated for a constitutional

[00:19:16] amendment to abolish the state board of education which sets policies and procedures for

[00:19:20] public schools in the state doing away with the board would put direct control over the state's

[00:19:24] education agenda under the superintendent and the state ledger I mean this is so this is now CNN

[00:19:29] going too far saying well okay so Moro was calling for this she can't do that on her own the

[00:19:34] general assembly would have to do something and by the way the general assembly is not going to

[00:19:37] turn it over to the superintendent now there is I've heard that there isn't appetite among state lawmakers

[00:19:44] to make the board of education elected to make that an elected body rather than appointed only by

[00:19:51] the governor right um she's also a big Q&A on her apparently she's a Q&A and like that's uh

[00:20:04] I don't know what to tell you if you are in with the Q&A crowd I don't know what to tell you I

[00:20:09] I think it's foolish it yeah it's I think you're being grifted but

[00:20:14] I'm not trying to convince you I'm just saying like that's my that's my take on the Q&A

[00:20:18] stuff when I looked into it I came away like oh this is a grift that's that was my that was my

[00:20:23] conclusion um she has another one that says uh talking about sedition quote Obama did it Hillary

[00:20:32] did it shift did it Komi did it Yates did it holder did it Clapper did it Gates did it

[00:20:37] Fauci did it time for we the people to do it and drain the swamp and then she's got a whole bunch

[00:20:43] of hashtags like no justice no country uh death to traders prosecute them now take back America

[00:20:53] so you get the vibe and also doing the where one go we all go abbreviation right the WW1 blah blah

[00:21:03] uh also uh the storm you know the belief that uh one day uh thousands are going to be swept up

[00:21:10] and arrested uh they're gonna be subjected to military tribunals and then mass executions right

[00:21:16] and supposedly Donald Trump was supposed to usher all of this and there were a lot of people by

[00:21:19] the way at the January 6th riot that thought that's what was coming they thought that that was

[00:21:24] they were ushering in the storm and this was this was as it was prophesized and then it didn't

[00:21:30] pin out that way so again you don't have to defend everything a candidate says all the time

[00:21:39] Dan welcome to the program hello Dan happy Friday yes sir to you as well i didn't get you anything

[00:21:47] i'm curious to know who exactly thinks checks your mayor has any validity tell them

[00:21:53] you need new elections to get rid of beaming that yahoo i find that that would only if our

[00:22:00] system would say if Israel said we needed to get your original check shumer we might jump all over

[00:22:06] that that be swell i think that would be considered election interference i would think so by

[00:22:14] israel if they did that to us yeah but yeah but check shimmers a lot to tell them how they should do

[00:22:19] yeah well i mean look anybody has a lot of question okay yeah i do is it okay if i can buy the

[00:22:26] shaft maybe get some water gosh you're dead to me you're goodbye Dan that's dead no

[00:22:39] look i got i had to get slightly very very very slightly poisoned in order to get the water

[00:22:46] cooler set up here again i think the term hero is overused nowadays but in this case

[00:22:55] i think it think it's right it applies to me um

[00:23:00] regarding chuck shumer um what right does he have to say it he has the right to say it of course

[00:23:07] he can say it sure um but nobody's listening to him in fact net nyahu just turned around and

[00:23:13] announced that yeah they're going to be doing the invasion on rafa so

[00:23:18] israel is not listening right to the democrats are to bite into anybody else because

[00:23:22] like people here in america do not understand the shift in mentality that has occurred since

[00:23:27] october 7th okay they recognize this is an existential threat and what the people on the other side

[00:23:35] of that border want to do to them they will not allow that to happen to them everybody became

[00:23:42] about ten percentage points more conservative more right leaning okay you have a wartime coalition

[00:23:48] party leading that country now left and right together most of the people the ones that were like

[00:23:55] the most uh peace loving hippie-ish if you will right pro hummus and oh we just need to understand

[00:24:03] them and all that they were targeted and wiped out right by hummus in those attacks on october 7th so

[00:24:10] the whole point of bite in trying to pressure bibby and shumer making his stupid comments

[00:24:20] it's all for the domestic base it's that it's all to talk to their most radical

[00:24:28] marxist pro-Palestine base that's who they're talking to that's what they're trying to

[00:24:34] journal oh we're with you we're totally with you meanwhile you know giving israel the support that

[00:24:40] they keep asking for right that's that's the game that's what they're doing it's not meant to

[00:24:46] actually persuade netanyahu it's meant to persuade the marxists in their own party that uh

[00:24:53] i think that they're not doing enough you know um mark walker i think is going to run for another

[00:25:02] office at some point i don't know which one maybe u.s. senate again maybe challenges

[00:25:08] tom tillis in a couple of years or um maybe runs for a different congressional seat or something but

[00:25:17] yeah because otherwise i don't really know what the what what the plan here was except uh

[00:25:23] that yeah i don't really know what the plan was so because mark walker was going to be in a runoff

[00:25:27] he could have been in a runoff for the sixth congressional district which is basically the

[00:25:32] district he used to represent before the north carolina democrat courts redrew the lines the

[00:25:39] districts in order to draw a democrat seat and so he was drawn out of his seat and then he ran

[00:25:45] for u.s. senate and he thought he was going to be getting the trump endorsement and then he didn't

[00:25:50] trump endorsed ted bud blind siding pat mcrawie and mark walker and bud won obviously um so now

[00:26:02] mark walker was going to run it what he did run again for that congressional seat redrawn by

[00:26:07] republicans to be a republican seat now and so the current inhabitant of that seat is uh

[00:26:13] Kathy manning and she is not running for re-election because she couldn't possibly win in fact there

[00:26:17] or no democrats running at all for the seat so whoever wins the primary wins the seat

[00:26:24] and there was going to be a runoff between the top votainer adison mcdell and mark walker who came

[00:26:31] in just behind him and mark walker announced uh that he's not going to ask for a runoff mainly because

[00:26:39] Donald trump called him up and said please don't and if you don't run in this runoff then um we'll

[00:26:49] put you in charge of faith groups and minority communities outreach and so that's what he's going

[00:26:59] to do the term bribe is used no i'm kidding it's but it made it okay it's not a bribe as in like

[00:27:07] here's a bunch of money to well actually i don't know is this a paid gig that he's taking

[00:27:13] with the campaign or is it just like a volunteer thing i don't know i'm not sure um but trump says

[00:27:20] mark and i had many wins together and we look forward to continuing to build bridges to all

[00:27:25] communities in our great nation and advancing this important work in the white house um

[00:27:32] um walker says that Donald trump reached out to him Tuesday afternoon to be the campaign's
