00:02
i welcome back to the program let's go to steven greenville steve welcome how are you well uh... thank you for taking my call this uh... and i'll listen to you every day and you are and thank you all the information uh... i called in to talk about that a whole different subject we live over in uh... in the kings gate community and uh... we are
00:30
suffering from the uh now they came in with the AT &T uh to tear up our yard and put in their cable and now I get a message that T-Mobile is going to come in behind us and tear up our yard again. Yeah. so uh and guess what? They say, well, well, the when I called the county, I said, who's doing this? Well, they've
00:59
they've approved it. I'm right. guess what? uh We pay in taxes on property uh that they come over and take over and do this to our yard. Yeah, unfortunately, they do have that that utility easement and they can come in and do that. I mean, I know and I know exactly what you're talking about, Steve. We had a company come through our yard and
01:27
Our neighborhood was none too happy. So best thing I would do is I'd call your councilman. I'd call your representative in Columbia. I appreciate it, buddy. So yeah, they come in and I won't say the company's name. They came in and destroyed our neighborhood. But when you saw the job they did, you went, wow. uh
01:47
So, and now it was so bad. It was so bad that they literally, it was about a month and a half ago, they came through our neighborhood door to door. This is no joke. They came through our neighborhood door to door and they said, we just want to apologize for the job that our company did in your neighborhood. We are not hiring that crew again.
02:14
just and they did. mean, they were very, they're very sorry. mean, they even they damaged the sign to our neighborhood. They cut the power line to that. um did. Yeah, that was nice. um And then they they just came in and destroyed people's yards. It was oh, it was a mess. And then they one of my neighbors, they actually left trash in her yard. But I want to go back real quick. um Before we get to Joe in Hendersonville and talk about the difference
02:45
in Charleston from that caller's perspective and my perspective. He was working in new construction. So the people that he was meeting on a day-to-day basis, yeah, they were the ones coming in for Boeing. They were the ones coming in for Sprint, the Sprint vans with the Mercedes. They were the ones that were coming in with the corporation.
03:12
They were the ones that were spending what, $150 to $250 a square foot on their new home construction? That's a lot of money. So yeah, those people are probably very happy to be there and not running away from something. But the people that I knew, the renter class in Charleston, those were the runaways. By and large, not all of them. But those, and when I was there in Charleston, I think,
03:41
of everybody that I knew, I would say maybe 10 were originally from Charleston. Maybe 10. And it's getting just as bad here. Let's go to Joe in Hendersonville. Joe, welcome. Well, thank you for taking my call. Yes, sir. You had made a comment earlier in the program about Spartacus, who had lied, literally lied about some things. Yeah. And never retracted it. And that's happened before, even with Adam Shifter and all that.
04:11
Is there any type of accountability because that kind of thing can't be covered under free speech? Or is the only accountability through the voter box? I think right now, mean, what are you going to do, sue them for lying? I don't know. I mean, I'm just asking the question. No, I mean, there really is. Unless they say something directly about you and it's not on the House or the Senate floor, then they're pretty much immune. They can get up there and just lie their heads off.
04:41
So if he was targeting specifically ICE and saying they did this, they did that, then that would be against ICE and therefore ICE could sue them? No, but if he said something against an individual ICE agent, then he could be held accountable for libel or slander. So if Tom Holman was able to get him to answer, giving him one circumstance, and it was a lie,
05:06
Yeah. Then maybe Tom Homan would have a chance. Thank you so much. I appreciate that. All Joe, I appreciate it. Thank you very much. But again, getting back to the population, net adjusted gross income gains, blue states are not doing well. California has lost 12.9 billion because of people moving out. New York has lost 10.5 billion because of people moving out. Illinois, 6.1 billion. Massachusetts, 4.1 billion.
05:36
The biggest gains in adjusted gross income gains, Florida, 20.6 billion, Texas, 5.3 billion, and right here in South Carolina, $4.1 billion gain um with people leaving blue states coming to red states. When we get back, we'll talk, well, not just yet. We got Congressman William Timmons coming up at 445. That's right around the corner. It's the Charlie James Show.
