Harry Knight is the Executive Director of the New Hanover County Republican Party. In this wide-ranging podcast, we discuss the stark difference between the Republican-led county government that seeks to be good stewards of our area and the Democrat-controlled city government that raises taxes in the midst of an economic downturn. We also talk about how voters for Donald Trump - who have been invigorated during the last few weeks - but also vote for all Republicans on the ticket - and why that is a necessity.

Can our collective strength overcome the divisive squabbles that threaten to tear us apart? This week's NHC GOP Podcast illuminates an allegory of unity with chilling relevance to today's political landscape.  As the clock ticks down to the pivotal moment on November 5th, 2024, we're reminded that the true battle lies beyond petty disagreements, in the voting booths where our united front against high taxes, energy dependence, and the erosion of American values must hold strong.

President Biden and the Democrat Party have now made it abundantly clear that they are no longer the party of the working class.

Welcome to the NHC GOP Podcast Friday update, I am Reuel Sample.

The people who get stuck with the bill?  The working class – supposedly those who the Democrats promise to work form.  Those who never went to college, those who went into the trades, those who enlisted in the military to serve our country, those who went to college and paid off their debts, high schoolers getting their first jobs – in short – all tax payers will have to foot the bill for the President’s obvious vote-buying move.  And it is not just today’s workers on the hook.  This bill becomes part of our national debt that will take generations to pay down.

The problem – of course – is that student loans are not actually canceled.   The Federal Government merely guarantees the student loans – it does not actually lend the money.  Students receive their loans through private institutions who are more than happy to make the offer – because these banks and lending institutions know that they will get their money back no matter what – either through the student who supposedly promised to repay the loan or through the Federal Government.

Children's minds are an incredible thing.  They take in and process and incredible amount of data from the time they are born.  They learn languages, social skills, and motor skills in an amazingly short period of time. 

Democrats want to use the minds of our children to fill them up with the garbage of anti-Americanism, sexual dysphoria, and the idea that the family is no longer needed.

If you value the minds of children, if you want them to grow up to be educated and not indoctrinated, if you want kids to be protected from open displays of sexuality and lewdness - why in the world would you vote Democrat?
