1 00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:03,440 Speaker 1: He's heard on News Talk eleven and ninety nine point 2 00:00:03,440 --> 00:00:08,600 Speaker 1: three WBT and Charlotte, North Carolina. Please welcome Brett Winterble 3 00:00:08,720 --> 00:00:10,520 Speaker 1: filling in for Clay and Buck. 4 00:00:10,920 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 2: Oh, it's great to be with you. I really appreciate it. 5 00:00:13,680 --> 00:00:16,320 Speaker 2: Our telephone number eight hundred and two two two eight 6 00:00:16,400 --> 00:00:22,520 Speaker 2: A two, taking your calls. Experiencing so many great feelings 7 00:00:22,560 --> 00:00:25,040 Speaker 2: as we move into twenty twenty five. For a lot 8 00:00:25,040 --> 00:00:29,480 Speaker 2: of different reasons, I want to go back in time 9 00:00:29,640 --> 00:00:35,360 Speaker 2: to when Joe Biden was famously outed by Robert Gates 10 00:00:36,159 --> 00:00:40,960 Speaker 2: when he said that Joe Biden has never been right 11 00:00:41,080 --> 00:00:46,000 Speaker 2: on a single policy in his entire history. Now, admittedly 12 00:00:46,040 --> 00:00:51,400 Speaker 2: it was mostly foreign policy, but Joe Biden has never 13 00:00:51,600 --> 00:00:57,200 Speaker 2: done anything that was substantial enough that would be a 14 00:00:57,360 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 2: legacy for him. I don't know what the legacy will be. 15 00:00:59,720 --> 00:01:04,360 Speaker 2: I'll probably be something involving identity politics and maybe judges 16 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,200 Speaker 2: on benches or something like that. But I don't see 17 00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: like the great transformational nature that Joe Biden brought. And 18 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,480 Speaker 2: I'm not making fun of him. I mean people have 19 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:19,039 Speaker 2: different skill sets. FDR was one guy who had, you know, 20 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 2: pretty pretty strong skill sets. Ronald Reagan's strong skill sets 21 00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:27,640 Speaker 2: you had in between JFK smart enough to say, look, 22 00:01:27,720 --> 00:01:31,160 Speaker 2: let's let's start this program to go into outer space. 23 00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,960 Speaker 2: Everybody's got sort of a thing that they're good at. 24 00:01:36,280 --> 00:01:39,560 Speaker 2: It's always, you know, just like a gift. Well, Joe 25 00:01:39,600 --> 00:01:45,919 Speaker 2: Biden's gift is his is really his achilles heel, because 26 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:51,480 Speaker 2: he's never right, just never. And when you think about 27 00:01:51,520 --> 00:01:57,240 Speaker 2: a man or a woman who is wrong all the time, 28 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,360 Speaker 2: wouldn't you think that some how, some way that person 29 00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,160 Speaker 2: would decide my inclination is to go this way, but 30 00:02:05,240 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 2: I'm gonna do the opposite and see if that's better. 31 00:02:08,360 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 2: Not Joe Biden, No way, no way. We are the 32 00:02:11,960 --> 00:02:15,799 Speaker 2: United States of America. There is nothing we can't do. 33 00:02:17,520 --> 00:02:20,200 Speaker 2: You did a lot, Jo you did a lot, mister President, 34 00:02:20,360 --> 00:02:23,080 Speaker 2: You did a lot to this country, most of all 35 00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: the awful nature of the border. Oh he wanted to 36 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,400 Speaker 2: come in and be a transformative president. Well he got you, TDA. 37 00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:37,640 Speaker 2: He got you people being lit on fire in the 38 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:42,880 Speaker 2: New York City subway system. He got you countless numbers 39 00:02:42,919 --> 00:02:48,400 Speaker 2: of young women and children losing their lives at the 40 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:53,200 Speaker 2: hands of people who should never have been walking around 41 00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:57,239 Speaker 2: loose in any country, let alone the United States. Of America. 42 00:02:58,200 --> 00:03:01,680 Speaker 2: This is a guy who has gone so far wrong 43 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:07,560 Speaker 2: that I believe it'll take eight to ten years to 44 00:03:07,760 --> 00:03:11,880 Speaker 2: undo the damage he did to this country. And some 45 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,040 Speaker 2: of it was Hubris abby Gate, some of it was 46 00:03:17,480 --> 00:03:24,040 Speaker 2: on purpose the border, and some of it was just incredulity. 47 00:03:25,400 --> 00:03:27,520 Speaker 2: And you look at all this kind of stuff. Let 48 00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,920 Speaker 2: me take you to a couple of conversations and I 49 00:03:29,919 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 2: think are worth hearing. This is going to be cut 50 00:03:32,800 --> 00:03:39,600 Speaker 2: number seven. Representative Brian mast talking to Julie Banderas about 51 00:03:39,600 --> 00:03:41,800 Speaker 2: the border and getting the border secured. This is cut 52 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 2: number seven. 53 00:03:42,720 --> 00:03:45,040 Speaker 3: I think it goes just beyond law enforcement. It's no 54 00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:48,760 Speaker 3: holds barred for all resources, all dollars that go into 55 00:03:48,760 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 3: your city, because the fact of the matter is you're 56 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:54,840 Speaker 3: taking tax dollars from all Americans but endangering all Americans. 57 00:03:54,880 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 3: Whether somebody came in in Arizona and burned somebody alive 58 00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 3: in New York, you're endangering everybody. Whether it's dollars that 59 00:04:01,120 --> 00:04:03,520 Speaker 3: come through the Highway Trust Fund or through the corp 60 00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,320 Speaker 3: of Engineers to support your ports, or you name it, 61 00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,760 Speaker 3: those dollars should be cut off. We're not going to 62 00:04:08,840 --> 00:04:11,720 Speaker 3: subsidize what you do with illegal immigrants, and you know, 63 00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 3: let's make one other point on this. It also goes 64 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:16,520 Speaker 3: to the change that's going to happen with the federal 65 00:04:16,520 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: government side of it. We know, under the Biden administration 66 00:04:19,720 --> 00:04:22,400 Speaker 3: you have ICE that will go to local law enforcement 67 00:04:22,480 --> 00:04:25,840 Speaker 3: agencies and say, hey, we know they're set for final deportation, 68 00:04:26,200 --> 00:04:28,719 Speaker 3: but that's not good enough for us to detain them 69 00:04:28,960 --> 00:04:31,440 Speaker 3: and bring them to the ICE facility, and the federal 70 00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,160 Speaker 3: government will tell them you let them go instead. That 71 00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 3: has to come to an end. It will come to 72 00:04:35,880 --> 00:04:37,119 Speaker 3: an end under President Trump. 73 00:04:37,160 --> 00:04:37,440 Speaker 2: Okay. 74 00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:40,719 Speaker 4: So the program is called the State Criminal Alien Assistance 75 00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,279 Speaker 4: Program and essentially it costs two hundred and thirty four 76 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 4: million dollars a year. California gets more than sixty million 77 00:04:49,480 --> 00:04:53,640 Speaker 4: dollars as part of that, which basically helps keep criminal 78 00:04:53,640 --> 00:04:57,159 Speaker 4: illegal immigrants behind bars. Why in the world are we 79 00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 4: spending sixty million dollars a year in California plus whatever 80 00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,440 Speaker 4: assistance they need in sanctuary cities when quite frankly, if 81 00:05:04,480 --> 00:05:07,200 Speaker 4: you were to deport all of these illegal immigrants, specifically 82 00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,520 Speaker 4: the criminals that are behind bars, you already have them 83 00:05:09,520 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 4: in custody. It's not like you have to go searching 84 00:05:11,400 --> 00:05:14,120 Speaker 4: for them. I can't even understand how the Biden administration 85 00:05:14,240 --> 00:05:14,839 Speaker 4: let this happen. 86 00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:18,840 Speaker 3: The why is simple because they do support that, because 87 00:05:18,839 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 3: you had a speaker in Nancy Pelosi, and you have 88 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:23,320 Speaker 3: a Hikeem Jeffreys, and you have others that want to 89 00:05:23,360 --> 00:05:26,040 Speaker 3: go out there and take the resource and say, hey, listen, 90 00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:28,359 Speaker 3: you have to have a bleeding heart for these people 91 00:05:28,360 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 3: that entered our country illegally. We have to lodge them, 92 00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:32,880 Speaker 3: we have to give them, pay their legal fees, we 93 00:05:32,960 --> 00:05:34,440 Speaker 3: have to pay for their food, we have to pay 94 00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:36,800 Speaker 3: for their healthcare, we have to pay for their transportation 95 00:05:36,920 --> 00:05:40,880 Speaker 3: and everything else, and they have no remorse over it whatsoever. 96 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:43,880 Speaker 3: They would continue these policies were it not for the 97 00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,760 Speaker 3: media showing people being burned alive, showing what happened with 98 00:05:46,839 --> 00:05:49,440 Speaker 3: Lake and Riley, showing what could be the difference between 99 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:53,359 Speaker 3: a Trump administration and a Biden administration in protecting Americans 100 00:05:53,400 --> 00:05:56,200 Speaker 3: from this. Otherwise there would be no pushback whatsoever. So 101 00:05:56,360 --> 00:05:58,279 Speaker 3: media gets some credit for this as well and bringing 102 00:05:58,279 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 3: it to light. 103 00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,080 Speaker 2: My favorite people in the whole world is Art del Queto. 104 00:06:03,880 --> 00:06:07,160 Speaker 2: You see him often. He's with the National Board Patrol Council. 105 00:06:07,600 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 2: I think he's the President of the National Board of 106 00:06:09,120 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 2: Patrol Council. Let's go out and play cut number four. Please. 107 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:15,839 Speaker 5: How much money have we spent to defend someone else's borders? 108 00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 5: That's what we need to really ask ourselves. Is it 109 00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:20,600 Speaker 5: worth spending money to defend our own borders? And at 110 00:06:20,640 --> 00:06:22,360 Speaker 5: the end, it's going to take a group effort. At 111 00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:25,360 Speaker 5: the same time, you know, there's local sheriff departments that 112 00:06:25,400 --> 00:06:28,280 Speaker 5: have been very vocal about assisting and helping a lot 113 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,480 Speaker 5: of these individuals and helping so they can detain them 114 00:06:31,680 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 5: and use their detention facilities. So I mean, if they're 115 00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 5: going to have to help out some as well, and 116 00:06:36,560 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 5: I know it costs money, but maybe what some of 117 00:06:39,520 --> 00:06:43,680 Speaker 5: these local sheriffs are asking for to house the individuals 118 00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,840 Speaker 5: isn't really what they need either. You know, I've heard 119 00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,359 Speaker 5: it up in excess of three hundred dollars a day 120 00:06:49,880 --> 00:06:51,640 Speaker 5: that some of the local sheriffs have been asking to 121 00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,280 Speaker 5: detain and how some of these illego aliens that are 122 00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:57,320 Speaker 5: getting arrested. You know, maybe it doesn't take three hundred dollars. 123 00:06:57,320 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 5: But at the end of the day, we need to 124 00:06:58,600 --> 00:07:01,560 Speaker 5: ask ourselves that question, how much money is too much 125 00:07:01,640 --> 00:07:03,840 Speaker 5: to defend our freedom to defend the future of America. 126 00:07:03,880 --> 00:07:06,320 Speaker 5: And how much have we already spent to defend someone 127 00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:07,040 Speaker 5: else's borders. 128 00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:12,360 Speaker 2: See these folks, these folks are deadly serious about protecting 129 00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:16,200 Speaker 2: our country. Brian Master is serious about it. Art del 130 00:07:16,240 --> 00:07:20,000 Speaker 2: Cueto is serious about it. These are people ready to 131 00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:21,840 Speaker 2: do the job home. And you heard him in the 132 00:07:21,920 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 2: last hour. And this is all about protecting Americans. This 133 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 2: isn't going to some foreign war over against Hamasko, some 134 00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:35,480 Speaker 2: foreign war in the middle of Chechnya. This is about 135 00:07:35,520 --> 00:07:41,680 Speaker 2: the United States border that was specifically broken by President 136 00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:47,240 Speaker 2: Joe Biden. And isn't it interesting? Isn't it interesting that 137 00:07:48,320 --> 00:07:54,920 Speaker 2: the last president that actually secured actual border security was 138 00:07:54,960 --> 00:07:59,360 Speaker 2: actually Ronald Reagan, the Simpson Missoliac. And it wasn't a 139 00:07:59,400 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 2: great thing because you had to do a deal with 140 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,440 Speaker 2: these Democrats and they promised that there were not going 141 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,680 Speaker 2: to be illegal aliens coming in. I was nineteen eighty six, 142 00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:11,239 Speaker 2: and do you know what happened? The Democrats double crossed 143 00:08:11,280 --> 00:08:13,840 Speaker 2: them and they just kept it coming in and kept 144 00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 2: it coming in and kept it coming in. This is 145 00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:20,240 Speaker 2: a problem that goes way back. This goes way back 146 00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 2: to the most radical ideologies that you can imagine and 147 00:08:25,640 --> 00:08:28,160 Speaker 2: this is a problem. Let's go to Dawn in Florida 148 00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,680 Speaker 2: down Welcome to the program. What's on your mind? 149 00:08:34,679 --> 00:08:36,880 Speaker 6: Good afternoon, Thanks for taking my call. 150 00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,439 Speaker 7: Yes, sir, the reason for my cause is something that's 151 00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,320 Speaker 7: not being brought up, at least I have not heard 152 00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:45,040 Speaker 7: it regarding Carter's legacy. I was in the United States 153 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 7: Coast Guard in nineteen eighty station out of West Palm Beach, Florida. 154 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 7: We relieved a vessel down in Key West. It was 155 00:08:50,200 --> 00:08:52,839 Speaker 7: supposed to be a five to six day pretty much, 156 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:55,199 Speaker 7: go out fish, just make sure everything's cleaning the straits, 157 00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:59,240 Speaker 7: go back home to four months, get home because we 158 00:08:59,240 --> 00:09:01,640 Speaker 7: were the number one vessel involved with the Cuban flotilla. 159 00:09:02,080 --> 00:09:02,400 Speaker 2: Wow. 160 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:05,720 Speaker 7: At that point, Pastrood emptied his prisons. He had got 161 00:09:05,760 --> 00:09:08,520 Speaker 7: worried that the people in Miami Lower Miami were going 162 00:09:08,559 --> 00:09:10,120 Speaker 7: to show up in such and such a day. They 163 00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:13,640 Speaker 7: never let anybody know. All their relatives that have been 164 00:09:13,679 --> 00:09:15,520 Speaker 7: detained were to get to the beach and get on 165 00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:17,480 Speaker 7: these boats and they're going to bring them back to Miami. Well, 166 00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,240 Speaker 7: castro got wind of it, so we spent four months 167 00:09:20,280 --> 00:09:26,120 Speaker 7: bringing in tuberculosis aids, violent criminals, insane. I sat there 168 00:09:26,120 --> 00:09:30,240 Speaker 7: with a shotgun guarding these these people. Carter let them in. 169 00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:33,160 Speaker 7: Reagan came into office and immediately put. 170 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 8: A stop to that. 171 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 7: That is a comparison to what's happening on the board 172 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:39,640 Speaker 7: over the last four years. Brilliant to give you that information. 173 00:09:40,040 --> 00:09:43,400 Speaker 2: Brilliant.

And Uh, I want to know why you 193 00:10:40,280 --> 00:10:42,439 Speaker 9: think that is. And if it was a setup to. 194 00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:45,040 Speaker 2: Begin with, I think it was. I actually I think 195 00:10:45,080 --> 00:10:47,439 Speaker 2: it was actually a setup. I think you're right. I 196 00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:52,679 Speaker 2: think Barack Obama or or somebody else thought that this 197 00:10:52,840 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 2: was a h This was an opportunity to show that 198 00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:57,880 Speaker 2: Joe's really not ready for primetime and we can we 199 00:10:57,880 --> 00:11:01,760 Speaker 2: can get somebody else into that slot. And the thing 200 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:05,240 Speaker 2: that they never figured was that Joe Biden would really 201 00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 2: believe that he could do the debate. Then they then 202 00:11:08,400 --> 00:11:11,079 Speaker 2: say that he was successful at the debate, and then 203 00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:15,320 Speaker 2: on top of all of that, uh, to think he 204 00:11:15,360 --> 00:11:18,240 Speaker 2: could prevail. He's going around now telling people that he 205 00:11:18,280 --> 00:11:21,240 Speaker 2: could have beaten Trump. He didn't beat Trump. He couldn't 206 00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 2: beat Trump. How is he supposed to magically do that? 207 00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 2: The American policies that he put into effect are reviled 208 00:11:29,400 --> 00:11:34,600 Speaker 2: by every corner of the of the universe. So, yeah, 209 00:11:34,720 --> 00:11:38,080 Speaker 2: you're you're they they put him out there because I 210 00:11:38,080 --> 00:11:40,199 Speaker 2: think they wanted him to implode, and he thought he 211 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:43,240 Speaker 2: did a good job. And it was only until they 212 00:11:43,280 --> 00:11:48,080 Speaker 2: took him hostage. Basically Nancy Pelosi and Obama and and 213 00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,400 Speaker 2: of course, uh, you know the uh the actor called 214 00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:54,600 Speaker 2: Clooney all those people were the ones that worked them over, 215 00:11:54,640 --> 00:11:56,680 Speaker 2: and they were starting to say to him, Hey, we're 216 00:11:56,720 --> 00:11:58,679 Speaker 2: gonna we're gonna cut off your money supply if you 217 00:11:58,720 --> 00:12:01,440 Speaker 2: don't if you don't bail on this, and that's ultimately 218 00:12:01,480 --> 00:12:02,040 Speaker 2: what happened. 219 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,520 Speaker 9: Well, thank you for taking my call.

As 232 00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: you know now, Jimmy Carter President Jimmy Carter has passed 233 00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:42,400 Speaker 2: away at the age of one hundred after being in 234 00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:45,760 Speaker 2: hospice for almost two years. There have been a number 235 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 2: of Christian leaders who have come out to react to 236 00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:53,680 Speaker 2: the passing of his life. And they wanted to express 237 00:12:53,679 --> 00:12:57,640 Speaker 2: some thoughts. Franklin Graham, president of Samaritan's Person the Billy 238 00:12:57,640 --> 00:13:02,600 Speaker 2: Graham Evangelistic Association, said, former President Jimmy Carter died today 239 00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:04,840 Speaker 2: at the age of one hundred, after more than a 240 00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,160 Speaker 2: year in hospice care. He served as our nation's thirty 241 00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:10,240 Speaker 2: ninth president and during a turbulent time in the nineteen 242 00:13:10,280 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: seventies and eighties when we were facing inflation and an 243 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,760 Speaker 2: oil shortage and a hostage crisis in Iran. He and 244 00:13:16,880 --> 00:13:20,679 Speaker 2: my father, Billy Graham, had a close relationship and were 245 00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:23,679 Speaker 2: honored to have him join us for the dedication of 246 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,840 Speaker 2: the Billy Graham Library in Charlotte in two thousand and seven. 247 00:13:27,320 --> 00:13:32,920 Speaker 2: I know that his family would appreciate your prayers. Clint 248 00:13:32,960 --> 00:13:38,600 Speaker 2: Presley said, A remarkable man first and the first president 249 00:13:38,640 --> 00:13:43,559 Speaker 2: that I could remember, Greg Laurie, pastor of the Harvest 250 00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:47,720 Speaker 2: Christian Fellowship, I had the unique privilege of meeting President 251 00:13:47,760 --> 00:13:50,960 Speaker 2: Carter on three separate occasions, each leaving a lasting impression 252 00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:54,440 Speaker 2: on me. The first was at a Billy Graham crusade 253 00:13:54,520 --> 00:13:58,960 Speaker 2: in Atlanta, Georgia, a state where Jimmy Carter once served 254 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 2: as governor before the crusade began. Billy Graham was showing 255 00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,200 Speaker 2: the President around and when they came upon me, Billy 256 00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:12,720 Speaker 2: introduced me, saying, mister President, this is Greg Laurie. He 257 00:14:12,880 --> 00:14:15,960 Speaker 2: is a preacher of the Gospel. It was a profound 258 00:14:16,040 --> 00:14:18,839 Speaker 2: honor to be introduced to President Carter in such a 259 00:14:18,880 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 2: meaningful way. The second encounter was on a commercial flight. 260 00:14:22,760 --> 00:14:26,640 Speaker 2: I vividly remember the former president walking down the aisle 261 00:14:26,680 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 2: and shaking hands with every single passenger and humbly saying hello, 262 00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,840 Speaker 2: I'm Jimmy Carter. That moment was unforgettable. Regardless of how 263 00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,840 Speaker 2: one may have voted, It was an honor for everyone 264 00:14:38,080 --> 00:14:42,400 Speaker 2: on that flight to shake the hand of a former president. 265 00:14:42,920 --> 00:14:45,840 Speaker 2: The third time I saw him was at the dedication 266 00:14:46,040 --> 00:14:49,440 Speaker 2: of the Billy Graham Library, where we had our photograph 267 00:14:49,480 --> 00:14:53,840 Speaker 2: taken together. Once again, President Carter was gracious and approachable, 268 00:14:54,160 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 2: embodying humility and warmth. In many ways, he may have 269 00:14:59,400 --> 00:15:02,840 Speaker 2: been in eva better former president than he was while 270 00:15:02,880 --> 00:15:07,040 Speaker 2: in office. He dedicated much of his post presidential life 271 00:15:07,080 --> 00:15:12,000 Speaker 2: to serving others, teaching Sunday School and his church, working 272 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:16,480 Speaker 2: with Habitat for Humanity, and engaging in various humanitarian efforts. 273 00:15:16,520 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 2: We must have respect for the presidency and those who 274 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:21,400 Speaker 2: serve in it, even if we do not always agree 275 00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:24,720 Speaker 2: with their policies. Today I honor the memory of President 276 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:30,560 Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter, a man who exemplified service, humility, and faith 277 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:35,920 Speaker 2: throughout his remarkable life. You know, we're on this earth 278 00:15:36,080 --> 00:15:41,480 Speaker 2: for just a small period of time until our time 279 00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:48,280 Speaker 2: is called, and I imagine that it has to be humbling, 280 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: humbling to be in his family and to see the 281 00:15:53,560 --> 00:15:58,360 Speaker 2: outpouring of love. It's really incredible when you really think 282 00:15:58,400 --> 00:15:58,920 Speaker 2: about this. 283 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:00,240 Speaker 8: Just dic I did. 284 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,960 Speaker 2: He was going to be a governor and then a 285 00:16:03,000 --> 00:16:08,960 Speaker 2: president and then into permanent public service. We should all 286 00:16:09,040 --> 00:16:15,080 Speaker 2: strive for that, because by doing good, you'll be remembered 287 00:16:15,560 --> 00:16:18,560 Speaker 2: far more than any of the accolades that you pick 288 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,360 Speaker 2: up or get or any of that sort of stuff. 289 00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 2: And so we may not have liked his politics, but 290 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 2: it's important to respect the man as a veteran and 291 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:31,600 Speaker 2: as a man who tried to make the world a 292 00:16:31,640 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: little bit better. And if you're doing that, you're playing 293 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:40,600 Speaker 2: par I'm Bret Wooterble.

And 347 00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 8: when Jimmy Carter came in, my brother had started a 348 00:19:11,080 --> 00:19:14,840 Speaker 8: family and people were making him offers that more than 349 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:18,720 Speaker 8: twice as much easily to be like vps of Ford 350 00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:22,640 Speaker 8: and other places. And then Jimmy Carter like like almost 351 00:19:22,840 --> 00:19:26,080 Speaker 8: well in my life every Democrat does. They come in, 352 00:19:26,560 --> 00:19:31,800 Speaker 8: They cut the military. They he canceled all promotions, he 353 00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:36,480 Speaker 8: canceled all pay raises, and they forced good people out. 354 00:19:37,520 --> 00:19:42,160 Speaker 8: And now you see, you know, the Republicans are almost 355 00:19:42,200 --> 00:19:44,679 Speaker 8: as bad as Democrats when it comes to spending. But 356 00:19:44,720 --> 00:19:46,800 Speaker 8: I got to give him this. One thing they have 357 00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,720 Speaker 8: to do every time they get into office is spend 358 00:19:49,840 --> 00:19:53,920 Speaker 8: now probably a trillion or more to rebuild the damage 359 00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:57,840 Speaker 8: to the military. Right that the Democrats do every time 360 00:19:57,920 --> 00:20:00,199 Speaker 8: they take all the money out and buy votes with 361 00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,440 Speaker 8: it is social programs. You know what I mean. 362 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:04,639 Speaker 2: I know what you're saying. Now, let me ask you 363 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:08,680 Speaker 2: a question. Because your your brother was at West Point. 364 00:20:09,440 --> 00:20:12,720 Speaker 2: President President Carter when he was young, was at the 365 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:16,040 Speaker 2: Navy Academy. He went he went to the Naval Academy, UH, 366 00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:20,919 Speaker 2: nuclear propulsion stuff. Why, I don't know what the answer is. 367 00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:23,160 Speaker 2: But maybe you have a thought, why would he want 368 00:20:23,160 --> 00:20:26,159 Speaker 2: to cut the military if he was a product of 369 00:20:26,520 --> 00:20:30,399 Speaker 2: the United States Navy That that would seem to be counterintuitive, 370 00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 2: wouldn't it. 371 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:32,239 Speaker 11: Uh? 372 00:20:32,880 --> 00:20:35,639 Speaker 8: Why was somebody like Obama for eight years do everything 373 00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:37,240 Speaker 8: he could to destroy this country? 374 00:20:38,280 --> 00:20:42,640 Speaker 2: Well? Okay, but that's an ideological difference. Do you think 375 00:20:42,680 --> 00:20:45,480 Speaker 2: Jimmy Carter was trying to destroy the country or was 376 00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,600 Speaker 2: he trying to do something else? 377 00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 8: Jimmy Carter never found a dictator or a revolutionary some 378 00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 8: Cuba Venezuela, venezuela, anybody who is a dictator or communist. 379 00:21:00,080 --> 00:21:05,080 Speaker 8: He was right along with them against us. He's like 380 00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:08,119 Speaker 8: Obama to me, he really is. Can I throw in 381 00:21:08,160 --> 00:21:10,160 Speaker 8: two cents about Reagan and ambdestry? 382 00:21:10,200 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 2: Please go ahead? Please? Absolutely? 383 00:21:12,320 --> 00:21:15,240 Speaker 8: This drives me nuts too. You mentioned the name of 384 00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:15,600 Speaker 8: the act. 385 00:21:15,600 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 2: I forgot it, But was it s Simpson Mozzoli? 386 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:18,800 Speaker 8: Yeah? 387 00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:20,479 Speaker 2: Yeah, it might have been eighty five, but I think 388 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,520 Speaker 2: it went into effect in eighty six. But yeah, it 389 00:21:22,600 --> 00:21:24,600 Speaker 2: was the Simpson Mossoli Act. 390 00:21:24,880 --> 00:21:29,240 Speaker 8: Yeah, okay, thank you. Well, look at and I wonder 391 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:32,320 Speaker 8: if Trey I'll answer my own question. No way Trump 392 00:21:32,320 --> 00:21:35,760 Speaker 8: would have been stupid enough to do this Reagan. Reagan 393 00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:39,280 Speaker 8: had California put him in the governor's office two terms. Yes, 394 00:21:39,640 --> 00:21:41,760 Speaker 8: California put him in the White helped put him in 395 00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,119 Speaker 8: the White House two terms. He signed amnesty and pretty 396 00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:48,840 Speaker 8: much with one signature, destroyed his own state forever. Look 397 00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:52,080 Speaker 8: at it now. He was in office for two to 398 00:21:52,160 --> 00:21:56,879 Speaker 8: three more years after signing that bill, and the Executive Department, 399 00:21:56,960 --> 00:22:00,440 Speaker 8: after the legislature gets done, the executive department is supposed 400 00:22:00,480 --> 00:22:03,800 Speaker 8: to enforce the law. It wasn't up to lion Ted 401 00:22:03,920 --> 00:22:06,520 Speaker 8: Kennedy to do what he lied about. It was up 402 00:22:06,560 --> 00:22:10,359 Speaker 8: to the executive shut down the border and it was 403 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:13,359 Speaker 8: never done. But they gave the amnesty, didn't. 404 00:22:13,119 --> 00:22:16,040 Speaker 2: They Well here's here, right, But here's the problem. Okay. 405 00:22:16,200 --> 00:22:19,240 Speaker 2: The problem with that is he was trusting the people 406 00:22:19,320 --> 00:22:23,040 Speaker 2: he was negotiating with, and that would happen. That would 407 00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:28,600 Speaker 2: happen again because remember they had an agreement to cut 408 00:22:28,960 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 2: some of the budget and Ronald Reagan went to his 409 00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:37,080 Speaker 2: grave never having seen the TEFRA cuts. It never happened. 410 00:22:37,080 --> 00:22:41,760 Speaker 2: The left will always uh uh, you know, pull the 411 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:44,720 Speaker 2: pull the football from from out in front of you know, 412 00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,640 Speaker 2: Lucy and all that sort of stuff. That's a problem 413 00:22:46,800 --> 00:22:49,600 Speaker 2: and If that's the case, now Donald Trump's gotta make 414 00:22:49,640 --> 00:22:53,560 Speaker 2: sure that there's gonna be enforcement with these politicians. This 415 00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:54,560 Speaker 2: is the real problem. 416 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,520 Speaker 8: Well, how could you think that you couldn't trust Ted Kennedy? 417 00:22:58,640 --> 00:23:00,920 Speaker 2: No, well, come on, you mean the guy that went 418 00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 2: to Russia to try to negotiate a deal so that 419 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:05,840 Speaker 2: he could he could you know, they could they could 420 00:23:05,880 --> 00:23:07,840 Speaker 2: put him up as the president against him and then 421 00:23:07,880 --> 00:23:10,400 Speaker 2: and then when he is asked about becoming the president, 422 00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:12,399 Speaker 2: he doesn't even have an answer. They ask him directly, 423 00:23:12,400 --> 00:23:14,160 Speaker 2: why do you want to be president? He gives a 424 00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:17,080 Speaker 2: four and a half minute answer that didn't make any sense. 425 00:23:17,680 --> 00:23:21,679 Speaker 2: I mean, it was it was That guy was great stuff. 426 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:24,040 Speaker 2: I appreciate you you being out there, and thank you 427 00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,760 Speaker 2: for calling in on the program today. Okay, you're very welcome. 428 00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,920 Speaker 2: That was great. See this is this is Wildlife Talk 429 00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,760 Speaker 2: Radio because we got context coming in here. Can I 430 00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,920 Speaker 2: go to Tim in North Carolina? Tim, what's on your mind? 431 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:38,880 Speaker 11: Well? 432 00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,880 Speaker 6: I was just listening to your program, and really all 433 00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:46,159 Speaker 6: these politicians are very personable when you get to meet them. Sure, 434 00:23:46,240 --> 00:23:50,439 Speaker 6: and I think Carter really on his mind trying to 435 00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:56,119 Speaker 6: rehabilitate his rehabilitate his reputation with things I can aitat 436 00:23:56,359 --> 00:23:59,280 Speaker 6: humanity and other other things he did, and he did 437 00:23:59,359 --> 00:24:01,680 Speaker 6: do good work when he got out, but a lot 438 00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:07,040 Speaker 6: of people suffered under his economic policies. Yes, the incredible inflation, 439 00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,320 Speaker 6: and these things are never really talked about, and I 440 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,080 Speaker 6: guess you're never supposed to speak ill of the day. 441 00:24:13,200 --> 00:24:16,359 Speaker 6: Maybe that's it why they're not talking about it. But 442 00:24:16,440 --> 00:24:20,120 Speaker 6: these are very important lessons for our times if they're 443 00:24:20,160 --> 00:24:26,720 Speaker 6: facing a similar situation with what Biden has done in inflation. Okay, 444 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:30,320 Speaker 6: so I hope people remember this. Yes, to me, this 445 00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:34,159 Speaker 6: is much more important than what Carter did after he 446 00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:34,840 Speaker 6: was president. 447 00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:39,200 Speaker 2: I think that's a very important point. And on top 448 00:24:39,280 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: of that, Tim, I think it's okay to speak of 449 00:24:43,880 --> 00:24:48,480 Speaker 2: the policies. But he's gone, so it's not like we're 450 00:24:48,520 --> 00:24:52,399 Speaker 2: not offending him. We're critiquing the policies, which you know, 451 00:24:52,440 --> 00:24:55,639 Speaker 2: anybody deserves to, you know, be held to account for 452 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:59,680 Speaker 2: what they do. Good bad, are indifferent, and I think 453 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:02,040 Speaker 2: that's I think that's a really wise thing that you said. 454 00:25:02,119 --> 00:25:03,879 Speaker 2: Thank you so much for being a part of the 455 00:25:03,920 --> 00:25:06,159 Speaker 2: conversation here today.

I 473 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:03,800 Speaker 2: think it's a very positive way to look at things. 474 00:26:04,200 --> 00:26:06,600 Speaker 2: And people go, oh, you know, it's three days and 475 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:09,000 Speaker 2: I totally fell off the wagon. I can't do this, 476 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:10,440 Speaker 2: I can't do that. No, No, as long as you 477 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:13,679 Speaker 2: got breath in your lungs and you've got time on 478 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,960 Speaker 2: the clock, you can still achieve the twenty twenty four 479 00:26:18,040 --> 00:26:20,800 Speaker 2: New Year's resolution. That's one way of looking at it. 480 00:26:21,280 --> 00:26:24,920 Speaker 2: You know, it's like an accounting trick. Let's go out 481 00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:28,119 Speaker 2: to beautiful Wyoming and talk to John next.

But that's okay. Wyoming's beautiful too. 488 00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:40,919 Speaker 11: One we certainly have to when we certainly have to 489 00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 11: honor Jimmy Carter. But bottom line is, I had one 490 00:26:45,600 --> 00:26:48,359 Speaker 11: good friend of mine who qualified for the nineteen eighty Olympics. 491 00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:49,960 Speaker 11: And you knew what Carter. 492 00:26:49,840 --> 00:26:53,040 Speaker 2: Did, Oh yes, yeah, canceled the Olympics. 493 00:26:53,119 --> 00:26:56,040 Speaker 11: And those athletes had been training for their whole life 494 00:26:56,440 --> 00:26:59,280 Speaker 11: for one shot to get to the Olympics, and he 495 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:01,760 Speaker 11: canceled it because of politics. And then what did the 496 00:27:01,840 --> 00:27:04,959 Speaker 11: Russians do the next year in nineteen eighty four? They 497 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:09,120 Speaker 11: didn't come. So because of the politics situation in here, 498 00:27:09,520 --> 00:27:12,960 Speaker 11: all those athletes didn't go to the Olympics because of 499 00:27:13,040 --> 00:27:15,679 Speaker 11: something like that. And you know, for those people, and 500 00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:17,679 Speaker 11: I coach and this kind of stuff, and I know 501 00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,520 Speaker 11: how those guys felt and how my friend felt. Wow, 502 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:22,639 Speaker 11: he did not come back in eighty four and qualify. 503 00:27:22,720 --> 00:27:25,119 Speaker 11: He couldn't. It was too late. So I don't know 504 00:27:25,119 --> 00:27:27,520 Speaker 11: if people knew about that, but he definitely canceled those 505 00:27:27,560 --> 00:27:28,760 Speaker 11: Olympics in nineteen. 506 00:27:28,480 --> 00:27:31,000 Speaker 2: Eighty That is true because it was in Moscow and 507 00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,320 Speaker 2: he wanted to show support for Afghanistan.
