Feed Up the Middle.
2
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.880
Welcome to Up the Middle, a show that isn't about
3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.800
being middle of the road. It's about bringing the opposition
4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.600
into the room so our audience can hear exactly how
5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.280
the other side thinks. It's about arming our listeners with
6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.480
the best arguments by testing them against the other side
7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000
in real time. Partisan extremist shows reach the converted. Up
8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.399
the middle reaches the undecided, the persuadable. If you want
9
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.079
to join the forty five plus percent that is the
10
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.240
swing voters and independence, join the show that those people
11
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.439
actually listen to. I'm yours the voice that sounds like
12
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.679
yours because like you, it's filled with common sense. Let's
13
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.479
go up the middle. What you're about to listen to
14
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.560
is part of a two hour live rate show recorded
15
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.040
Sunday evenings at ten pm Eastern. You can listen to
16
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.840
that show by going to www. Dot Mastiff, dot media
17
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.719
slash u TM.
18
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.799
I want to go through some of the things that
19
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:27.840
I texted myself, and then you might be wrapping up early. Yeah,
20
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:37.040
I mean, here's another one. The pastor who wore Charlie
21
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.959
Kirk freedom shirt in sermon has been indicted for soliciting
22
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:48.519
a minor and distributing child sexual abuse material. Just as
23
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.000
a reminder, He's not a trans person, he's not an immigrant,
24
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:59.760
and just another Maga male. Also not a drag queen
25
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:14.680
Graham Platner. Here's another one, this from Reich Wing Watch.
26
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.159
Meet Ret Bryan Morse, Republican from Franklin County, New Hampshire,
27
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.000
thirty one, the freshman legislator who spent his first term
28
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:33.439
crucheting against indoctrination and demanding schools be scrubbed of graphic content. Well,
29
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.919
he got arrested after Nashull police saw a woman say.
30
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.240
A woman told them Morse posted explicit photos of her
31
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.759
online without her consent, a felony under New Hampshire twenty
32
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.560
sixteen revenge porn Law published punishable by up to seven
33
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.159
years in prison. He was released on two hundred dollars bail.
34
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.919
House speaker Sherman Packers's office waited no time, yanking Morse
35
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.840
off the Education Policy Committee with no further comment. Moose
36
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.360
denies it all, claiming he's the victim of a smear
37
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:09.240
campaign tied to his fight against indoctrination, because of course
38
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:14.240
Maga always the victim. His quote, I am pleading not
39
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.960
guilty and will be fighting vigorously to clear my name.
40
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.719
Now he's passing the hat to the MAGA. Faithful Moose
41
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:26.000
launched a give Spend Go campaign, asking supporters for ten
42
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.159
thousand dollars towards what he calls mounting legal fees. Maybe
43
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.000
that's what I should do to some of these different platforms.
44
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.840
You can't do it for something like that, but I
45
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.919
dropped seven grand that I didn't have, because what are
46
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:48.520
actual false accusations that I can prove with cameras. Only
47
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.319
my local sheriff's department was a real law enforcement agency,
48
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:55.599
we wouldn't be in this mess. Framing his arrest is
49
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.199
blowback for his culture war crusade in the state House.
50
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.800
In his pitch, he wrote that the allegations shake you
51
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.240
to Yeah, you get a letter like that saying you're
52
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.759
being charged with something like that, it shakes it does
53
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.560
shake you to your core and threaten to shatter our
54
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:21.879
family's peace forever. I'll get over it. I'll come out
55
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:29.720
on top. But this is the same guy who pushed
56
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.879
to ban books from New Hampshire school's over obscene content
57
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.120
and ripped Governor Kelly Ayode for vetoing it, saying he
58
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.319
was horrified she didn't protect children. He's also posted that
59
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.079
trans people using bathrooms of their choices are sickos threatening
60
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:52.399
women's privacy. It's always the ones who project the most.
61
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.959
And by the way, these are from open sources. So yes,
62
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:13.920
this guy was really arrested. Oh yeah, yeah, that's about
63
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:18.759
best year. So some of these I text myself and
64
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.560
then the only thing that comes up is, oh, well
65
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:32.839
made it maybe? Ah. Vivik Ramaswami, his biotech company, is
66
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:37.879
collecting a nine hundred and fifty million dollar payment from
67
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:43.519
Maderna for COVID nineteen vaccine technology, while the Republican kubernatorial
68
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:49.360
nominee campaigns against the vaccines and the pandemic response that
69
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:56.879
made them possible. Ramaswami, who founded roy Vant Sciences and
70
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.759
still owns roughly seven percent of the firm, step down
71
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.680
from the company's born in early twenty twenty three, but
72
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.519
remains one of its largest shareholders, positioning him to benefit
73
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:18.720
directly from the settlement announced in March. So he's against
74
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:32.079
the vaccine that his company developed. Well, yeah, I've had
75
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.120
the Moderner vaccine actually, and I'll tell you what. I
76
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:46.480
strongly believe it saved my life, pure and simple, Hunter,
77
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:56.319
Biden secured a major legal victory come on against one
78
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.920
of his most prominent critics. A federal judge in California
79
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.240
has awarded Biden one point seven million dollars in punitive
80
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.240
damages for his defamation lawsuit against pro Trump overstock dot
81
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:10.879
Com CEO Patrick Byrne, ruling that burn knowingly spread false
82
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.120
claims accusing Biden of seeking an eight hundred million dollars
83
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:20.399
bribe from Iran kind of sort of hell two billion
84
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:27.199
dollars from Saudi Arabia for Jared Kushner us to. Judge
85
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.199
Stephen Wilson, a Ronald Reagan appointee, found that Burne's actions
86
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:37.000
went far beyond a simple mistake, concluding that he engaged
87
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:42.040
in intentional misrepresentation with conscious disregard towards plaintiff's rights. The
88
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.040
judge said burn continued promoting the claims after publication, repeatedly
89
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.399
reposting the accusations on social media and encouraging his followers
90
00:07:50.480 --> 00:08:00.399
to spread them further. Dope. Good for you, hunter, He
91
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:04.759
had some I wonder if I still have that. He
92
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:30.480
had a very classy reaction to to Lindsey Graham. Oh
93
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.960
here's this. I wanted this one. Nathan Charles is an
94
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:40.240
attorney A what type of lawd does he do? Like
95
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:47.120
classified stuff like if you're a contractor and such. Got
96
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.919
to look at that a little closer. So this is
97
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.519
something else that we'll wrap up with. I knew back
98
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.600
in twenty seventeen. I know I've told this story on
99
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.279
here before, but I'll tell it again. During Trump one
100
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:09.080
point zero, his first term, I was the site agent
101
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:16.000
for what was his final inaugural ball of the evening
102
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:23.080
when he was first inaugurated. My staff counterpart was this
103
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.840
guy named Luke. Won't put out his full name, we
104
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.480
don't need that. Luke and I worked very well together.
105
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.000
We were the only site in the city that was
106
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:44.919
not penetrated by demonstrators. Very safe location, good site, something
107
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:49.120
that Trump administration, the one point administration did later on
108
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:55.120
in life. Soon after the inauguration, got the world's attention
109
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.519
and in honor. About that time, I ran into Luke
110
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:04.360
in a bar and I just said, Luke, what the hell?
111
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.679
And he looked at me and said, Yergs, you think
112
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:15.919
that's crazy, Wait till you see us in our second
113
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:28.919
and third term. Second and third term that was in
114
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:35.519
twenty seventeen. Now here we are in twenty twenty six,
115
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:44.559
and we're wondering about We've got Republicans being busted for
116
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:53.879
election integrity issues and now fired a Donald Trump fired
117
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:02.600
all three remaining members of the US Election Commission ahead
118
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:10.879
but right before midterms, a time when he would historically
119
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.879
lose control of the Congress. Maybe now you'll believe he
120
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:26.559
wants a third term. Maybe now we can consider this
121
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:37.879
guy a threat. Like, how can you not? I just
122
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:44.639
don't get it. What is the appeal? Seriously, what is
123
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:50.759
the appeal? What do you see as good that this
124
00:11:50.799 --> 00:12:05.600
guy is doing? Because there's nothing there? All right, well,
125
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.919
don't forget three weeks. It's now Monday. Now, actually it's
126
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.960
not yet. Well three weeks from tonight, I will be
127
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.720
sound asleep. He goes early on the morning of August third,
128
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.919

129
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.279
Go to Mastiff dot Media, hang out there or here
130

00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.600
not saying who yet, but we are in the process
132
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.759
of wrapping up various discussions. I've got some more tomorrow
133
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.759
with terrestrial radio stations throughout the state of Florida. Really
134
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.879
excited to be back on terrestrial AMFM radio, but putting
135
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:57.320
together a news, traffic and weather morning show that does
136
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.600
do stories like the ones we did on St. John's
137
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.519
County that can affect the entire state. So the Mastiff
138
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.919

to put together. I'm also contemplating another station, this one
147

Linda Richmond and my name is Liz. Of course, this
169
00:15:09.320 --> 00:15:15.320
is my mother, Barbara. We love you. Hello, gorgeous. The
170
00:15:15.480 --> 00:15:17.799
movie was like Butla, like.
171
00:15:17.919 --> 00:15:23.720
Butter, like a big stick of butter, Mama.
172
00:15:25.480 --> 00:15:27.679
All this talk about food. I'm getting hungry, girl.
173
00:15:46.519 --> 00:16:08.039
Flutch butter, I can dorzo cancart, Baba's a beautiful It's changed,
174
00:16:09.240 --> 00:16:09.480
you know.
175
00:16:10.399 --> 00:16:11.600
Yes, I suppose I have.
176
00:16:12.000 --> 00:16:15.799
How about this, he's love dog to tick the hell.
177
00:16:15.679 --> 00:16:16.120
Out of here.
178
00:16:21.480 --> 00:16:22.320
That's all, folks,
1
00:00:00.440 --> 00:00:01.679
Feed Up the Middle.
2
00:00:11.279 --> 00:00:13.880
Welcome to Up the Middle, a show that isn't about
3
00:00:14.000 --> 00:00:16.800
being middle of the road. It's about bringing the opposition
4
00:00:17.120 --> 00:00:20.600
into the room so our audience can hear exactly how
5
00:00:20.600 --> 00:00:24.280
the other side thinks. It's about arming our listeners with
6
00:00:24.359 --> 00:00:27.480
the best arguments by testing them against the other side
7
00:00:28.000 --> 00:00:32.000
in real time. Partisan extremist shows reach the converted. Up
8
00:00:32.000 --> 00:00:36.399
the middle reaches the undecided, the persuadable. If you want
9
00:00:36.399 --> 00:00:39.079
to join the forty five plus percent that is the
10
00:00:39.119 --> 00:00:43.240
swing voters and independence, join the show that those people
11
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:47.439
actually listen to. I'm yours the voice that sounds like
12
00:00:47.520 --> 00:00:53.679
yours because like you, it's filled with common sense. Let's
13
00:00:53.719 --> 00:00:57.479
go up the middle. What you're about to listen to
14
00:00:58.200 --> 00:01:01.560
is part of a two hour live rate show recorded
15
00:01:01.600 --> 00:01:05.040
Sunday evenings at ten pm Eastern. You can listen to
16
00:01:05.040 --> 00:01:08.840
that show by going to www. Dot Mastiff, dot media
17
00:01:08.879 --> 00:01:10.719
slash u TM.
18
00:01:10.840 --> 00:01:12.799
I want to go through some of the things that
19
00:01:12.920 --> 00:01:27.840
I texted myself, and then you might be wrapping up early. Yeah,
20
00:01:27.840 --> 00:01:37.040
I mean, here's another one. The pastor who wore Charlie
21
00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:41.959
Kirk freedom shirt in sermon has been indicted for soliciting
22
00:01:41.959 --> 00:01:48.519
a minor and distributing child sexual abuse material. Just as
23
00:01:48.560 --> 00:01:53.000
a reminder, He's not a trans person, he's not an immigrant,
24
00:01:54.359 --> 00:01:59.760
and just another Maga male. Also not a drag queen
25
00:02:07.560 --> 00:02:14.680
Graham Platner. Here's another one, this from Reich Wing Watch.
26
00:02:15.919 --> 00:02:20.159
Meet Ret Bryan Morse, Republican from Franklin County, New Hampshire,
27
00:02:20.599 --> 00:02:25.000
thirty one, the freshman legislator who spent his first term
28
00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:33.439
crucheting against indoctrination and demanding schools be scrubbed of graphic content. Well,
29
00:02:33.800 --> 00:02:36.919
he got arrested after Nashull police saw a woman say.
30
00:02:36.960 --> 00:02:40.240
A woman told them Morse posted explicit photos of her
31
00:02:40.520 --> 00:02:44.759
online without her consent, a felony under New Hampshire twenty
32
00:02:44.759 --> 00:02:48.560
sixteen revenge porn Law published punishable by up to seven
33
00:02:48.639 --> 00:02:52.159
years in prison. He was released on two hundred dollars bail.
34
00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:55.919
House speaker Sherman Packers's office waited no time, yanking Morse
35
00:02:56.039 --> 00:03:00.840
off the Education Policy Committee with no further comment. Moose
36
00:03:00.919 --> 00:03:03.360
denies it all, claiming he's the victim of a smear
37
00:03:03.400 --> 00:03:09.240
campaign tied to his fight against indoctrination, because of course
38
00:03:10.120 --> 00:03:14.240
Maga always the victim. His quote, I am pleading not
39
00:03:14.319 --> 00:03:16.960
guilty and will be fighting vigorously to clear my name.
40
00:03:18.759 --> 00:03:21.719
Now he's passing the hat to the MAGA. Faithful Moose
41
00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:26.000
launched a give Spend Go campaign, asking supporters for ten
42
00:03:26.039 --> 00:03:29.159
thousand dollars towards what he calls mounting legal fees. Maybe
43
00:03:29.159 --> 00:03:34.000
that's what I should do to some of these different platforms.
44
00:03:34.039 --> 00:03:36.840
You can't do it for something like that, but I
45
00:03:36.960 --> 00:03:41.919
dropped seven grand that I didn't have, because what are
46
00:03:42.120 --> 00:03:48.520
actual false accusations that I can prove with cameras. Only
47
00:03:48.599 --> 00:03:51.319
my local sheriff's department was a real law enforcement agency,
48
00:03:51.639 --> 00:03:55.599
we wouldn't be in this mess. Framing his arrest is
49
00:03:55.680 --> 00:03:59.199
blowback for his culture war crusade in the state House.
50
00:04:00.800 --> 00:04:03.800
In his pitch, he wrote that the allegations shake you
51
00:04:03.840 --> 00:04:06.240
to Yeah, you get a letter like that saying you're
52
00:04:06.240 --> 00:04:10.759
being charged with something like that, it shakes it does
53
00:04:10.800 --> 00:04:15.560
shake you to your core and threaten to shatter our
54
00:04:15.560 --> 00:04:21.879
family's peace forever. I'll get over it. I'll come out
55
00:04:21.959 --> 00:04:29.720
on top. But this is the same guy who pushed
56
00:04:29.759 --> 00:04:32.879
to ban books from New Hampshire school's over obscene content
57
00:04:33.759 --> 00:04:38.120
and ripped Governor Kelly Ayode for vetoing it, saying he
58
00:04:38.199 --> 00:04:42.319
was horrified she didn't protect children. He's also posted that
59
00:04:42.360 --> 00:04:47.079
trans people using bathrooms of their choices are sickos threatening
60
00:04:47.120 --> 00:04:52.399
women's privacy. It's always the ones who project the most.
61
00:04:54.600 --> 00:04:59.959
And by the way, these are from open sources. So yes,
62
00:05:00.319 --> 00:05:13.920
this guy was really arrested. Oh yeah, yeah, that's about
63
00:05:13.959 --> 00:05:18.759
best year. So some of these I text myself and
64
00:05:18.800 --> 00:05:21.560
then the only thing that comes up is, oh, well
65
00:05:21.560 --> 00:05:32.839
made it maybe? Ah. Vivik Ramaswami, his biotech company, is
66
00:05:32.839 --> 00:05:37.879
collecting a nine hundred and fifty million dollar payment from
67
00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:43.519
Maderna for COVID nineteen vaccine technology, while the Republican kubernatorial
68
00:05:43.519 --> 00:05:49.360
nominee campaigns against the vaccines and the pandemic response that
69
00:05:49.480 --> 00:05:56.879
made them possible. Ramaswami, who founded roy Vant Sciences and
70
00:05:56.959 --> 00:06:00.759
still owns roughly seven percent of the firm, step down
71
00:06:00.759 --> 00:06:03.680
from the company's born in early twenty twenty three, but
72
00:06:03.839 --> 00:06:09.519
remains one of its largest shareholders, positioning him to benefit
73
00:06:09.560 --> 00:06:18.720
directly from the settlement announced in March. So he's against
74
00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:32.079
the vaccine that his company developed. Well, yeah, I've had
75
00:06:32.120 --> 00:06:35.120
the Moderner vaccine actually, and I'll tell you what. I
76
00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:46.480
strongly believe it saved my life, pure and simple, Hunter,
77
00:06:46.519 --> 00:06:56.319
Biden secured a major legal victory come on against one
78
00:06:56.360 --> 00:06:58.920
of his most prominent critics. A federal judge in California
79
00:06:58.959 --> 00:07:02.240
has awarded Biden one point seven million dollars in punitive
80
00:07:02.279 --> 00:07:06.240
damages for his defamation lawsuit against pro Trump overstock dot
81
00:07:06.279 --> 00:07:10.879
Com CEO Patrick Byrne, ruling that burn knowingly spread false
82
00:07:10.920 --> 00:07:14.120
claims accusing Biden of seeking an eight hundred million dollars
83
00:07:14.199 --> 00:07:20.399
bribe from Iran kind of sort of hell two billion
84
00:07:20.480 --> 00:07:27.199
dollars from Saudi Arabia for Jared Kushner us to. Judge
85
00:07:27.560 --> 00:07:31.199
Stephen Wilson, a Ronald Reagan appointee, found that Burne's actions
86
00:07:31.240 --> 00:07:37.000
went far beyond a simple mistake, concluding that he engaged
87
00:07:37.040 --> 00:07:42.040
in intentional misrepresentation with conscious disregard towards plaintiff's rights. The
88
00:07:42.120 --> 00:07:46.040
judge said burn continued promoting the claims after publication, repeatedly
89
00:07:46.360 --> 00:07:50.399
reposting the accusations on social media and encouraging his followers
90
00:07:50.480 --> 00:08:00.399
to spread them further. Dope. Good for you, hunter, He
91
00:08:00.560 --> 00:08:04.759
had some I wonder if I still have that. He
92
00:08:04.879 --> 00:08:30.480
had a very classy reaction to to Lindsey Graham. Oh
93
00:08:30.519 --> 00:08:33.960
here's this. I wanted this one. Nathan Charles is an
94
00:08:34.039 --> 00:08:40.240
attorney A what type of lawd does he do? Like
95
00:08:40.559 --> 00:08:47.120
classified stuff like if you're a contractor and such. Got
96
00:08:47.200 --> 00:08:51.919
to look at that a little closer. So this is
97
00:08:51.960 --> 00:08:55.519
something else that we'll wrap up with. I knew back
98
00:08:55.559 --> 00:08:58.600
in twenty seventeen. I know I've told this story on
99
00:08:58.679 --> 00:09:03.279
here before, but I'll tell it again. During Trump one
100
00:09:03.320 --> 00:09:09.080
point zero, his first term, I was the site agent
101
00:09:10.320 --> 00:09:16.000
for what was his final inaugural ball of the evening
102
00:09:16.840 --> 00:09:23.080
when he was first inaugurated. My staff counterpart was this
103
00:09:23.120 --> 00:09:26.840
guy named Luke. Won't put out his full name, we
104
00:09:26.879 --> 00:09:31.480
don't need that. Luke and I worked very well together.
105
00:09:32.639 --> 00:09:36.000
We were the only site in the city that was
106
00:09:36.039 --> 00:09:44.919
not penetrated by demonstrators. Very safe location, good site, something
107
00:09:44.919 --> 00:09:49.120
that Trump administration, the one point administration did later on
108
00:09:49.480 --> 00:09:55.120
in life. Soon after the inauguration, got the world's attention
109
00:09:56.120 --> 00:09:58.519
and in honor. About that time, I ran into Luke
110
00:09:58.639 --> 00:10:04.360
in a bar and I just said, Luke, what the hell?
111
00:10:06.600 --> 00:10:10.679
And he looked at me and said, Yergs, you think
112
00:10:10.720 --> 00:10:15.919
that's crazy, Wait till you see us in our second
113
00:10:16.679 --> 00:10:28.919
and third term. Second and third term that was in
114
00:10:29.000 --> 00:10:35.519
twenty seventeen. Now here we are in twenty twenty six,
115
00:10:37.000 --> 00:10:44.559
and we're wondering about We've got Republicans being busted for
116
00:10:44.840 --> 00:10:53.879
election integrity issues and now fired a Donald Trump fired
117
00:10:54.000 --> 00:11:02.600
all three remaining members of the US Election Commission ahead
118
00:11:03.360 --> 00:11:10.879
but right before midterms, a time when he would historically
119
00:11:11.519 --> 00:11:18.879
lose control of the Congress. Maybe now you'll believe he
120
00:11:18.919 --> 00:11:26.559
wants a third term. Maybe now we can consider this
121
00:11:26.639 --> 00:11:37.879
guy a threat. Like, how can you not? I just
122
00:11:37.919 --> 00:11:44.639
don't get it. What is the appeal? Seriously, what is
123
00:11:44.679 --> 00:11:50.759
the appeal? What do you see as good that this
124
00:11:50.799 --> 00:12:05.600
guy is doing? Because there's nothing there? All right, well,
125
00:12:09.519 --> 00:12:12.919
don't forget three weeks. It's now Monday. Now, actually it's
126
00:12:12.919 --> 00:12:15.960
not yet. Well three weeks from tonight, I will be
127
00:12:16.000 --> 00:12:21.720
sound asleep. He goes early on the morning of August third,
128
00:12:22.279 --> 00:12:26.919
the inaugural episode of the Mastiff dot Media Morning Show.
129
00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:31.279
Go to Mastiff dot Media, hang out there or here
130
00:12:31.320 --> 00:12:34.799
on social media. We are in the process of I'm
131
00:12:34.799 --> 00:12:37.600
not saying who yet, but we are in the process
132
00:12:37.840 --> 00:12:42.759
of wrapping up various discussions. I've got some more tomorrow
133
00:12:43.360 --> 00:12:47.759
with terrestrial radio stations throughout the state of Florida. Really
134
00:12:47.799 --> 00:12:51.879
excited to be back on terrestrial AMFM radio, but putting
135
00:12:51.960 --> 00:12:57.320
together a news, traffic and weather morning show that does
136
00:12:57.399 --> 00:13:00.600
do stories like the ones we did on St. John's
137
00:13:00.600 --> 00:13:05.519
County that can affect the entire state. So the Mastiff
138
00:13:05.559 --> 00:13:08.919
Media Morning Show starting August third, six am to nine am.
139
00:13:10.240 --> 00:13:15.559

00:13:38.039 --> 00:13:42.360
to put together. I'm also contemplating another station, this one
147
