life comes at you fast most of it is just smoke and mirrors we're here to clear the air whether
it's the can't make this up moments or the hard truths hitting our streets in our state
we're finding the signal and all that noise no spin no nonsense just the facts the fallout
and a little bit and a little bit and a little bit and a little bit and a little bit of humor
and we couldn't do it and we couldn't do it and we couldn't do it
so all i can say is apologies and you know hopefully we can continue to be able to do this
show together again like i say we do this show every tuesday wednesday and thursday usually starting
around 7 a.m eastern time and uh phone lines are open 229-520-5957 you can also text that number 24 7
229-520-5957 or shoot us an email morning drip at wrto.fm uh as i like to normally do talk let's talk
let's talk about the weather real quick uh it's we we're getting a little bit of a reprieve not a whole
lot uh you know it's rain is in in the forecast um i woke up this morning and had a little bit of rain
going we got a 50 chance today our highs are in the upper 80s with our uh real feels in the upper 90s
instead of you know 104 105 106 on your radio dial but that's not going to last even though we've got
weather uh we've got rain rather in the weather forecast uh all the way through next monday
those real field temperatures by thursday are creeping up in the triple digits yet again so as i have
said before and i'll say it again be safe take care of yourself if you're working outside make sure
that you can take adequate breaks you can stay hydrated and if your boss gives you any any slack
tell them what grady d from the morning drip said i gotta stay hydrated boss and i gotta take breaks
and they're gonna go who and then you direct them over so they can listen to wrto.fm
send them to the facebook page wrtofm we're also on blue sky at wrto.fm fuck twitter it's nothing
but a cesspool over there talking about cesspool so dear leader donald j trump is planning on having
an address to the nation i believe this coming thursday and rumor has it some of it is probably
unsubstantiated but some of it's probably substantiated is that he's going to try to bring
out all of his greatest hits yet again his number one rallying cry to the nation and that being that our
our elections are just riddled with fraud you can't trust them unless of course republicans win
and then of course that's where that's where they've really focused their efforts to make sure that
there's no foreign interference and that that non-citizens aren't voting etc etc but anywhere
where else in the country that a republican loses to a democrat and oh my goodness especially to a
democrat that associates or identifies rather as a democratic socialist or a member of the democratic
socialist of america well then that that's just ridge rigged it's a rigged election it's it's uh
it's illegal it's rife with fraud because there's absolutely no way on god's green earth that a
republican could have lost to a socialist and don't forget that he's doing his damnedest to paint
democratic socialist as communist and they're not they're not even anywhere close if you really
really really want to know what a democratic socialist stands for well i mean mike johnson stood up in a
in a room full of republicans and ran down the list of everything that he claims that the
socialist want to do which is going to destroy america listen to that list and you'll go well i think all
those things are actually kind of cool you know what another example of democratic socialism is
social security medicare medicaid all these safety programs food assistance programs snap
that's an example of democratic socialism that's not communism folks and contrary to popular belief
democratic socialism isn't about breaking down and doing away with capitalism no those two systems
coincide they they they work in tandem but there are better controls on the capitalistic side of it
so that you don't have mega corporations coming in and tipping the political scales because that's exactly
what is happening now back to trump and his his uh addressing the nation thursday some of the things that i've already seen this morning so of course we hail from the great state of georgia south central georgia and our two senators are john ossoff
and warnak he is now reverend warnak not not going to slight him trump is now according to rumor so take it with a grain of salt but even john ossoff is coming out and saying this seems to be legitimate trump is already trying to muddy the water and one of the things apparently that he's probably going to proclaim other than the fact that they've got evidence of foreign interference which there is no evidence
take everything he says thursday and just throw it out the window because it's all going to be an accurate or a bold face lie they've the fbi took the ballots from fulton county they've pulled in hundreds of analysts to try to comb through all the data they're doing their damnedest to try to find a there that isn't there this thing has been it has been analyzed
analyzed it has been analyzed my goodness and every single damn time over and over and over again had there's no evidence of any foul play there's no evidence of fraud the only fraud that we see is from this current administration when trump called raffensperger
raffensperger and basically begged him to just quote find enough votes that would put him over the top that's fraud folks so ossoff is i saw this a post on i think it was blue sky trump
and trump supposedly during his address to the nation this thursday is going to proclaim that due to discovered fraud and foreign interference that our two current sitting senators for the state of georgia are illegitimate that's right he is going to try to claim
that reverend warlock and um john ossoff are not legitimately elected state or federal senators senators for the state of georgia i'll stop trying to stumble all over my words here reverend warlock
was legitimately elected ossoff if i remember correctly one in a runoff um there's no there's no evidence there's no evidence there and that's because this administration is doing they see the writing on the wall when it comes to the midterms
if they just if they just sat back and did what they were supposed to do and every one of them would re would run clean legitimate campaigns they are they're figuring out that they're going to lose their ass during the midterms as they should and so trump realizes that if he loses control of the house and the senate at the best that he can hope for
is his last remaining years in office he will be a lame duck president i mean he's pretty lame already but he won't be able to get anything done
at all he's already having trouble with with the makeup that he has now but if you got a democratic majority in the house and you've got a democratic majority in the senate
trump is done he will not get any any of his ideas executed none of his policies nothing at the worst he'll get impeached and removed from office
which he should be because whether you like him or not i don't care but you need to at least be honest with yourself and look at everything that he has done
the man has already made somewhere between four and six billion dollars just off of being in office as the president of the united states that's unprecedented
he uses by all accounts insider knowledge at least maybe he doesn't but his boys do his sons so that they can get a leg up there there's a story in this pile of stories
that talks about how he basically fleeced everybody with his trump coin you know he made 636 million dollars in royalty income associated with this this token and uh 1.4 billion dollars in total cryptocurrency related income from multiple ventures where
everybody else basically lost their asses on it right so be honest with yourself you know i'm not saying that you've got to go well i guess i gotta be a democrat no look at the
look at the man look at what he's done to this country what he's done to enrich himself and then look at what his department of justice which is not supposed to be at the beck and call of the president of united states
they're not supposed to be the president's personal lawyers even even though he's trying to get the head of the doj which was one of his personal lawyers as the permanent head
he's trying to get him confirmed todd blanch and all of this is going on when a federal judge has blocked the justice department's attempt to obtain the names and personal contact information
of every poll worker and election employee involved in fulton county's 2020 election the doj was arguing that this information was needed as part of its
ongoing investigation into alleged election related misconduct alleged i.e they made the shit up is what happened
u.s district judge william ray said uh-uh the subpoena was far too broad it served no legitimate criminal investing investigative purpose
and not to mention that any potential crimes potential crimes that were directly tied to the 2020 election are now beyond the statute of limitations
so this this sweeping request of the from the doj is absolutely unreasonable but the doj has argued it wanted to interview election workers who might have information about possible wrongdoing
including including questions surrounding election record preservation of course fulton county they countered that subpoena that it would intimidate election workers it would discourage future participation in elections which is the point
that was the point of the doj don't for a second think that the doj actually has verifiable proof of any wrongdoing in georgia's 2020 election results don't think for a second if you believe that you're you're a bit naive but it's not about that it's about intimidation it literally is about intimidation
they can intimidation they can intimidate the people that were poll workers and so that job's already stressful enough and it's it's a thankless job so thank you to all of the poll workers out there because you're you're doing
you're doing the lord's work something that i personally would not want the stress and the hassle and the pressure of doing but they're trying intimidation tactics
to discourage people from wanting to put up with that nonsense and to chill anybody actually wanting to vote because when you see a mess like this
you start wondering well is my vote even going to count and that's a problem so the judge agreed the request was overly burdensome
a warrant that allowing prosecutors to use a grand jury to collect personal information without a viable criminal purse a purpose could set a dangerous precedent
regardless of political affiliation now granted this ruling does not end the broader federal investigation
into fulton county's handling of the 2020 election
as i mentioned before the fbi sees the ballots i think back in january under a separate search warrant and judge ray emphasize that congress or the justice department may continue investigating election related claims
through lawful means but
he said the grand jury process cannot be used simply to gather private information from citizens where there's no clear path toward criminal charges
let that sink in you're past the statute of limitations and all this subpoena was attempting to do again was to quote gather information
question question people for something that even if even if in the one in a billion chance
that they could narrow in
could zero in on one little
piece of evidence that said well these 10 ballots
were bogus or whatever
they can't do shit because it's past the time the statute of limitations
has expired
there is no there there
they're not going to find anything
they're not going to find anything at all
now on the flip side of that
we're going to continue this and then we're going to take a break
on the flip side of that
this type of investigation that i'm about to mention
is why we can trust
that our elections are fair
and not rigged or
infested with fraud
and that's because
the georgia secretary of state brad raffensperger
has opened an investigation after more than 400 voter registration applications
were mailed by an unnamed third party organization
to deceased georgians
and in one case
a doggo
many of the forms were returned to the secretary of state's office by frustrated families
some recipients died decades ago
including one person who passed away in 1957
and of course
it's not illegal
to send unsolicited voter registration forms
but
and i have to agree with the state officials on this
these mailings have created confusion
and eroded public confidence
in the election process
now
here's what i have to wonder
because i don't think it actually
says anything
about this
since it's an unnamed third party organization
it would not surprise me
i'm putting on my tin hat here
so bear with me
it would not surprise me
that this unnamed third party organization
was part of the right
that they did this
on purpose
so that they
could
create confusion
they could
muddy the water
and then
you could have the trump administration
point to something like this
and go look
see
this is the reason why
we shouldn't do mail-in
ballots
there's absolutely nothing wrong
with sending out voter registration
i personally like the way
california and washington state
do it when it comes to mail-in ballots
if you're a registered voter
they automatically send out
a mail-in ballot
you don't even have to request it
i like that
because
even though we have some stupid people out there
that their vote counts just as much as mine does
or yours
i still believe
that
there should not be
a hindrance
or a burden
to voting
it should be as easy
but still safe and secure
as possible
i'd love online voting
but as a
it person for 35 plus years
i understand the hurdles
that one would have to
overcome
to ensure that
that was safe and secure
so
that's not a hill i'm gonna dial
is online voting
that that's not a hill
i'm gonna dial
and
i can i can compromise
and accept the fact
that i have to request
a mail-in ballot
republicans don't want
automatic
mail out
mail-in ballots
mailed out to people
because they realize
that the majority of people
who use mail-in ballots
are democrats
that's because we're busy
you know
we are busy
and
if you make it easier
for people to
vote
then it's going to be harder
for republican
candidates
and especially
MAGA
republican candidates
to ever win elections
that's not fraud
that
that's just being reasonable
and realizing that
that party
anybody affiliated with MAGA
does not have your best interest
at heart
all they care about
is themselves
i mean
look at their leader
right
but Raffensperger said
that his office
is concerned
that many recipients
mistakenly believe
the forms came from
the Georgia Secretary of State's office
which prompted angry responses
from family members
i mean it is kind of
you get a thing
i still get letters
to this day
from organizations
life insurance companies
and
all kinds of other nonsense
addressed to my mother
to this address
because i had to
when she passed away
in 2019
i had to start changing
basically doing
an address forwarding
so that i didn't have to
keep checking her mailbox
in Ben Hill County
35 miles away
so to this day
in 2026
and she died
November 1st
2019
i still get stuff
to her
to this day
about getting
further life insurance
i don't think
life insurance
is going to help her folks
not at all
so i can understand
the aggravation
especially
something that looks
official
from the Georgia
Secretary of State's office
to your
dead
loved one
it makes me say
what the fuck
he would
honestly
he emphasized
that the investigation
will require
significant staff time
and resources
even though he does
not believe
someone could
successfully register
to vote
using the identity
of a deceased
person
or a pet
because the state's
verification procedures
are designed to
detect fraudulent
х registration
see
we have checks
that have checks
and those checks
have checks
state election officials
say they're going
to review each
return form
individually
to determine
its source
and ensure
no improper
voter registrations
result from the mailings
they also
criticize the campaign
as unnecessarily
distressing
for families
of deceased
individuals
saying the effort
diverts resources
away from other
election administration
responsibilities
while undermining
public trust
in Georgia's
voting system
and again
tin hat
I swear
that this
third party
organization
it would not
surprise me
that once
they
conduct
they complete
their investigation
you're going
to find out
that that organization
has right leanings
in the political
sphere
and they did
this
to confuse
the voters
to confuse
our voting
process
to make
everybody
doubt
and when you
have doubts
then you're not
going to make
the effort
to vote
whether it's
for the Republican
candidate
or whether it's
for the Democratic
candidate
you're just not
going to vote
but don't fall
for it
folks
do not fall
for it
until
some verifiable
evidence
can be
presented
and it is
essentially
authenticated
by a third
and fourth
party
that is not
the Republican
party
it has not
anything to do
with MAGA
it doesn't have
a damn thing
to do
with the DOJ
you can trust
and be assured
that our elections
here in the
United States
of America
and in every
state
are safe
secure
fair
free
and not
rigged
all right

one of the
things that
I wanted to
bring up
kind of
shifting focus
a little bit
because
first segment
we pretty much
beat that horse
to death
as they say
on the
12th
today's the
14th
so two days
ago
which would
have been
Sunday
no
can I math
what is
today
yeah
would have
been Sunday
prices
forever stamps
went up
we talked
about it
last week
one of the
things I
thought I
want to
bring up
and it
deals with
a financial
issue
with the
post office
and this
is from
2021
so back
in 2021
and this
is during
the Biden
administration
first year
of the
Biden
administration
matter of
fact
congressional
lawmakers
and this
was from
both
parties
this
wasn't
partisan
this
was
bipartisan
they
introduced
the
USPS
Fairness
Act
which was
going to
the whole
purpose
was to
eliminate
a
2006
law
that
required
the
U.S.
postal service
to pre-fund
retiree health
benefits
decades into
the future
this is what
I've been
talking about
as to the
reason why
the true
reason why
the postal
service in
this country
is in
financial
distress
this law
was a
requirement
that was
very unique
to the
USPS
and it
was not
imposed on
any other
federal agencies
or private
businesses
pre-fund
retiree
health benefits
decades into
the future
now I thought
it was
retirement
so on that
point I was
wrong but
this is
health benefits
supporters
argued that
the mandate
artificially
created the
appearance
of massive
annual losses
by requiring
the postal
service to
set aside
tens of
billions
that's with
a B
of dollars
for employees
who had
not yet
been hired
and by
2021
the USPS
had
accumulated
nearly 57
billion dollars
toward the
obligation
but they
had also
missed
billions in
required
payments
which
contributed
to its
long-running
financial
struggles
so this
legislation
drew broad
bipartisan
support from
lawmakers
from postal
unions
postal
officials
they said
repealing
the mandate
would
significantly
improve
USPS's
financial
outlook
and some
officials
favored
pairing
the repeal
with
Medicare
integration
for
retired
postal
workers
to
further
reduce
long-term
costs
critics
of the
06
law
which
included
some
lawmakers
who
originally
voted
for it
later
called it
one of the
biggest
contributors
to the
postal
service
financial
problems
arguing
it had
manufactured
a
fiscal
crisis
rather
than
reflecting
the
agency's
day-to-day
operations
and at
that
time
the
proposal
also
became
part
of the
broader
debate
over
USPS
leadership
because
Donald
Trump
had
opposed
additional
financial
relief
for the
agency
critics
targeted
Postmaster
General
Louis
DeJoy
over
cost-cutting
measures
and mail
delivery
delays
postal
employees
unions
and
members
of
Congress
urged
the
Biden
administration
to
appoint
new
members
to
the
Postal
Services
Board
of
Governors
arguing
stronger
oversight
and repeal
of the
pre-funding
mandate
that they
were
necessary
to replace
the agency
to place
the agency
rather
on a more
sustainable
I can't
even speak
today
sustainable
financial
footing
now
here's
my
question
whatever
happened
whatever
happened
to
the
USPS
Fairness
Act
so
according
to
the
search
it was
first
passed
by the
House
of
Representatives
with a
bipartisan
vote
of 309
to 106
but it
stalled
in the
Senate
it had
been
reintroduced
in the
117th
Congress
as
H.R.
695
in the
House
and S.
145
in the
Senate
key
sponsors
included
House
Transportation
and
Infrastructure
Chair
Pete
DeFazio
Democratic
of
Oregon
Representative
Tom
Reed
Republican
of
New
York
and
Senate
sponsors
Dave
Daines
Steve
Daines
rather
I think
Montana
Republican
and
Brian
Schultz
Democrat
of
I'm going
to guess
that's
Hawaii
the bill
garnered
strong
bipartisan
support
218
co-sponsors
in the
House
but
its current
status
as of
2026
is
actively
under
consideration
of both
the House
and the
Senate
with new
Senate
leadership
and support
for the
administration
or from
the
administration
the
legislative
environment
is favorable
for repealing
the pre-funding
no matter
only if
the Democrats
take the
House
and the
Senate
in the
midterm
that's
I don't
believe this
is going
to go
anywhere
but it
needs to
I mean
it's
ridiculous
they put
an
unnecessary
fiscal
burden
on one
of the
most
important
institutions
in the
federal
government
the USPS
and I
know
we
don't
use
mail
as much
as we
used to
I've
talked
about it
before
I prefer
things
to come
to my
email
I
either
pay
everything
online
on a
schedule
that
I
set
up
for
myself
I
have
a
spreadsheet
that I
track
everything
for my
business
and for
my
personal
obligations
but I
also set
up a
lot of
things
to
automatically
debit
my
credit
card
never
ever
my
checking
account
I
will
not
allow
automatic
debits
to my
checking
accounts
just
not
going
to
do
it
I
don't
trust
that
process
and
I'm
not
saying
that
there's
anything
untoward
or evil
or
anything
like
that
but
mistakes
happen
and
when
you
live
in
America
and
you're
essentially
living
paycheck
to
paycheck
even
as a
small
business
owner
the
last
thing
you
need
is
somebody
making
a
mistake
either
a
human
error
or
some
type
of
machine
error
and
suddenly
there's
an
extra
thousand
dollars
taken
out
of
your
checking
account
and
now
everything
is
bouncing
not
doing
it
I
pay
everything
by
credit
card
and
then
I
pay
the
credit
card
off
once
a
month
and
I
use
a
credit
card
where I
get
anywhere
between
1 and
3 percent
cash back
that automatically
gets funneled
into
and then
up to the
and then
I'll be
out of
and then
I'll be
out of
and then
I'll be
going to
and then
I'll be
going to
and then
I'll be
going to
and then
I'll be
going to
and then
I'll be
south
Georgia
they come
out of
Valdosta
now
and these
are Amazon
drivers
so
three years
ago
practically
everything
I got
from Amazon
came via
USPS
unless it was
being shipped
from a third
party that
didn't actually
have the
products in
an Amazon
warehouse
or it was
something like
batteries for
uninterruptible
power supplies
because those
cannot be
shipped I guess
through USPS
or at least
they weren't
back then
otherwise
everything came
USPS
I mean the
number of times
my mail carrier
just pulled up
in my driveway
and I'd walk
out of my
office
and he'd just
be giving me
package after
package
now a lot
of these
things were
for clients
some of it
was for
our house
but a lot
of it was
for our
client
for my
clients
now
I don't
get
I can't
remember the
last thing
I got
anything
that was
ordered
from Amazon
that was
delivered by
USPS
it's got to
be last year
it's got to
be last year
I remember
my mail carrier
actually told me
sometime last year
it might have
been summer
around the summer
fall something
like that
he told me
that their
volume was going
to drop
because of the
fact that
basically
there was
an Amazon
delivery company
that was
launching down
in Valdosta
Georgia
that would be
serving
south central
Georgia
and he
wasn't
wrong
so
it was
probably
January
maybe
of this
year
last time
I got
anything
that I
ordered
from Amazon
that got
delivered
by USPS
anyway
I just
wanted to
bring that
to your
attention
because
I came
across it
in my
feeds
and I was
like wait
a minute
is this
current
but no
this is
what was
being
planned
for
in 2021
and even
in 2026
it still
seems to be
in circulation
but
instead of
doing that
they're just
allowing the
postal service
to increase
what it's going
to take
to send
a letter
or ship
anything
through
the USPS
so
now you know
whether they'll
actually
I don't
know
do anything
or not
like I say
I don't
believe
it'll get
traction
unless
the Democrats
actually
win back
the House
and the Senate
maybe
just maybe
anyway
let me know
your thoughts
phone lines

all right
this is something
a little bit
more local
for tifton
and the
surrounding
area
but ruth's
cottage
and the
patty cake
house
has launched
its sixth
annual
fundraising
campaign
with a goal
of raising
$50,000
to support
victims of
domestic
violence
child abuse
sexual assault
and human
trafficking
across
tift
turn
irwin
and worth
counties
the non-profit
says funding
is especially
critical this
year
because of
uncertainty
surrounding
federal grants
and recent
state budget
vetoes affecting
mus service
organizations
well of course
look who's in
charge of the
country
i'll just leave
it there
in 2025
the organization
responded to
more than
1,000 crisis
hotline calls
provided
emergency shelter
for 353
individuals
helped
224 people
obtain
protective
orders
supported
115
sexual
assault
survivors
assisted
five adult
human trafficking
victims
and conducted
152
forensic
interviews
for abused
children
although
ruth's cottage
and the
patty cake
house served
3,884
adults
children
and pets
through its
shelter
advocacy
and counseling
and child
protection
programs
all together
they did
that
as one of
the few
state certified
triple service
agencies in
Georgia
the organization
provides
24 hour
crisis services
emergency shelter
legal advocacy
forensic interviews
medical exams
and prevention
programs
donations to the
campaign will
help ensure
those services
remain available
as demand
continues to
grow across
South Georgia
if you want
to give
go to
stopthehurtga.org
again that is
stopthehurtga.org
I think it's a
great cause
so go help
them
one last thing
before we go
again here
locally
Tiff County
School Superintendent
Natalie Gore
has announced
she will retire
effective April 1
of 2027
ending a 30
year career
in education
after serving
just over two
years leading
the district
in a letter
to staff
parents and
the community
Gore said
the decision
comes with
quote gratitude
and mixed
emotions
adding that
the district
now has a
strong strategic
plan and
the systems
in place
to continue
improving
student
opportunities
and academic
achievement
Gore joined
Tiff County
Schools
in January
2024
after serving
in senior
leadership
roles
with
Gwinnett
County
and
Henry
County
school
systems
she
inherited
several
immediate
challenges
including
the suspension
of the
Tiff County
High School
principal
over financial
misconduct
and the
resignation
of the
head
football
coach
during her
tenure
the district
implemented
a new
community
driven
strategic
plan
expanded
professional
development
and student
leadership
programs
improved
Georgia
milestones
test
performance
and
continued
advocating
for school
facility
improvements
in her
retirement
announcement
Gore
says she
believes
the district
is well
positioned
for continued
success
citing
stronger
organizational
systems
increased
community
engagement
and a
clear
roadmap
for future
growth
the
Tiff
County
Board
of
Education
is
expected
to
begin
the
search
for
her
successor
in the
coming
months
ahead
of her
planned
departure
next
spring
so
kudos
to
Superintendent
Natalie
Gore
for coming
in
trying to
right
the ship
I
personally
don't
have
a dog
in the
hunt
because
my
youngest
is
29
and we
homeschooled
anyway
and
it was
always
something
that I
was
concerned
about
but I
can
guarantee
you
my
kids
are
where they
are
today
because
of
the
guidance
and
instruction
that
my
wife
gave
to
all
three
of
them
homeschooling
we
used
a process
called
unschooling
if you're not
familiar with it
go look it up
but yeah
we did not
use the
Abeka
system
nothing
that had
any
kind
of
religious
bent
to it
this
was
just
about
pure
raw
education
and being
able to
learn
on your
own
and
it
turned
out
to
work
really
well
for
my
kids
I'm
not
saying
homeschooling
is for
everybody
don't get
me wrong
so it
is
very
important
to
support
the
public
school
education
process
so
anyway
that's
it
for
this
edition
of
the
morning
drip
right here
on
wrto.fm
I want
to thank
you for
joining
me
and
again
like
I
said
if
you
were
not
able
to
join
me
for
the
live
broadcast
this
morning
Tuesday
the
14th
of
July
don't
fret
I'm
going
to
put
this
at
morning
drip
dot
show
as a
podcast
episode
as I
do
every
week
for
every
episode
that
we
do
usually
up
for
seven
days
before
it
goes
behind
a
membership
paywall
but
it's
only
seven
dollars
to
get
to
the
back
catalog
and
again
I
said
I'm
considering
extending
that
out
to
14
days
I
don't
know
you'll
see
it
when
you
go
there
phone
lines
are
now
closed
but
don't
fret
you
can
still

same

an email

these
cooler
temps
while they
last
but still
you need

yourself
make sure

it
for me
