all for being here But as always we're gonna give thanks to our Lord and savior jesus christ Because he is the reason why we live in this blessed and prosperous land He is the reason why we have the freedoms that we have He is the reason why this nation is the most blessed nation on earth He is the reason why this is the last domino standard and the last greatest hope for humanity It is because of jesus christ So we give him thanks first and foremost Well they told me I've got five minutes to speak I don't believe I can get it done in five minutes guys So excuse me if I go over a little bit So how's johnston county doing tonight How is north Carolina doing tonight So I'm gonna tell you what there's no better place to be in the United States of America And if you're in the United States in the United States of America there's no better place to be than in God's country which is north Carolina So as great as this nation isn't as much as we've been blessed we've got some problems What's the number one problem we're facing in this nation The number one problem we're facing in this nation is that we have We have an incontinent incompetent Commander in chief named joe biden Who's cut off our oil supply Let our gas prices spiral out of control and left our people behind in Afghanistan and embarrassed us on the world stage What else is going on in this nation See we got some problems in this nation right now We just put a Supreme Court justice on the we put a justice on the Supreme Court Who is the first black woman on the Supreme Court Unfortunately she can't define womanhood Oh and she does not a bit more respect life in the womb than a man on the moon What else is wrong We got so called educators who have chosen to go in the classroom and twist the minds of our youth and pervert the minds of our youth I repeat my statement 2-plus 2 does not equal transgender It equals four It's time to get back to educating these Children and stop indoctrinating them But we got it in our classroom We've got corporations that have chosen the side with those folks that want to push the same thing We've got corporations that chose put mandates on his people and mask its people Let me shut up before I get in trouble Yeah Yeah We got folks in this country that would rather stand up for black lives matter than to stand up for the police officers who put their lives on the line every day for citizens I'm here to tell you right now it's time to stand arm and arm with law enforcement and bring old law enforcement bring law and order back to our communities again But we got far left wing politicians out there that would rather trample all over our police department defund our police department instead of stand strong with our police department We've got people who want to besmirch our veterans and do our veterans wrong And we got people out there who refused to stand up for election integrity who don't want to stand up for common sense ideas like voter I D Which you voted for in overwhelming numbers but which was struck down by leftist judges who choose to legislate from the bench instead of following the constitution of our state and federal government Yeah see we've got some problems going on in this nation right now but I'm here to bring you some good news and here it is The american dream is not dead The american dream is not even on life support because the american dream is alive and well in the hearts of the patriots of this state in this nation And we have seen all across this land Moms and dads truck drivers teachers cafe workers medical workers folks from all sides of this nation standing up against tyranny and ready to defend the God given freedoms that were passed down to us from our forefathers we see it in every Hamlet we see it in every state we see it all across our nation There is a new day in this country the silent majority is silent no more We are ready to stand and raise our voices and we are ready to tell those socialist forces on the left that we will not go silently into the night We will stand strong against what you're trying to force on us You see because somebody died for my freedom Somebody died for your freedom Somebody sacrificed for my freedom Somebody sacrifice for your freedom It is now time for us to sacrifice for the freedom of future generations The american dream is not dead It lives in the hearts of the people of this nation who love this nation and want to see her continue to be continue to see her to be prosperous and three and leaders of freedom around the world And so it is time for this party that we call the Republican Party to come together to stand strong and to realize that in order for us to continue for freedom to rein in this nation it's going to take all of us So I'm standing here before you today I'm telling you that I'm here for you telling you that I'm here for my grandchildren telling you that I'm here for their Children and their Children so that they can live in the same type of freedom that I lived in Because what we do at this juncture in this country will determine whether this country lives or dies and I don't know about you but I'm willing to give all for this nation because somebody gave all for me And to that end I stand here before you today and tell you that in this Senate race that we have the day our party needs to come together We need to join together and make sure that we can send a strong principled conservative candidate to Washington that we can push him through this primary and blast him past Alright his democratic opponent in the general election And it's because of that I throw my entire weight and there's a lot of it As you can see I throw all of my weight and all of my support behind Representative Ted Budd who is going to be the next senator from north Carolina Mm hmm Back in 2018 when I met congressman bud he stood as one of the people that I admired most in this because he was an individual who never compromised his beliefs He stood strong as a conservative and he's a strong christian He's been a person that I've admired for many years now and I admire him even more now that he has taken this next step to move to that upper house and become our next senator So please help me welcome our next senator from north Carolina The honorable ted But to the stage Thank you very much guys God bless you all And God bless the great state of north Carolina Thank you</p>

<p>Hi, everyone. Meteorologist Anthony Baglione here on this Friday where we're still looking at some relatively warm temperatures into this afternoon. 83 is where we should hit for a high temperature. Nice and quiet for us until we get later on into late this afternoon into this evening where we're gonna watch the potential for some showers and storms coming through. Not a ton of activity for us as we head later on into tonight. There's a look at rain chances though. They go up to about 50% as we head into that evening time frame. So if you have any plans tonight, if you want to go out and get a Friday evening dinner or something like that, it might be a good idea to a, get the indoor table and then b bring along the reindeer just in case tonight. Here's a look at Future cast. So we time this out looking pretty quiet here the next couple of hours that band back to our west, it should start to weaken as it gets closer to us. It may try and restrengthen them as we get into. Like there's four o'clock you can see on Futurecast 56 o'clock or so, some of those storms could be on the stronger side and then it pushes out of here as we get later on into tonight and then we see maybe a stray shower potential still outline for tomorrow morning. Here's a look at our severe potential today. Level one out of five for most of the viewing area. What this is saying is there could be some isolated pockets where we get some stronger storms. It looks like the best chances for that would be west of us. But gusty winds would be our primary threat as we get into this evening. 78 is where we go for our Saturday. A huge temperature swing there into Sunday at 59 scattered showers are gonna be likely though, especially Sunday afternoon into Sunday evening, they do start to taper off though late Sunday night. So for the Tar Heel 10 miler, that's tomorrow morning, we are proud partners of that. We're going to see temperatures in the sixties for the majority of the forecast there. A stray showers possible, but most of the morning is looking just fine for that event. Tomorrow. We head over the next seven. We go from 83 today all the way down to 59 on Sunday. A rebound of 66 on Monday and then a nice week next week attempts in the seventies, even a few upper sixties there Thursday looking pretty quiet after we get some rainfall there to close out our weekend.</p>
