Now, making the mission possible, here's George Williams. Welcome, welcome everyone out there in Rio Land, I am George Williams and this is the George Williams Show. I'm so glad to be back behind the mic at such an important time in our lives and folks, it is very important. But the most important day is 5 November, 2024.

And there's a mobile app that you can listen to it right on your phone. And I know several people who are listening tonight, not only in the continental United States of America, but in Africa, South America. Those are places where I worked as a DEA Special Agent, mainly Brazil, Nigeria. You name it. I've been there, folks. I've been there. All right. We've got a lot that is happening. Right now, the Demon Crats are having their lion convention. And when I say lion, folks, they are lion, and I'm not saying lion, L-Y-O-N. I'm saying, L-I-I-N-G, lion. That's what they're doing. And they're following each other's strips. So it's truly amazing. All right. Before we get into all of this, let us listen to Dick Morris and see what he has to say about Ms. Harris. Well, the Democratic Party had a tremendous opportunity right after Biden withdrew, and Kamala came out to build up an image for her, build up an effective constituency, and really make this into a tough election. But they blew it, instead of laying out substantive proposals on inflation and crime and immigration and taking policy by the horns, they instead put up just the more sane, more of their campaign rhetoric, more of blaming Trump. And it didn't complete the sale, it didn't consummate it. And I think that what's going to happen now in the next few days is that as voters meet reality and see how high the prices still are, how great the illegal immigration is, and how serious the crime is, I think people are going to start backing off Kamala Harris. I think that if a day in the sun is drawing too a close. And it's going to hit a brick wall on September 10, when there's the first debate between the two of them. And Trump will absolutely massacre her. There is no comparison between the level of knowledge or information or insight that Trump has as opposed to Harris. And people say, well, she'll be briefed. Well, I've been on the end of briefing politicians, you don't know what they're doing. And sometimes you feel like you're briefing Ripley and Winkle because they have no shared understanding of what went on or what the facts are. Kamala Harris is a prosecutor. And I think she knows better than anything else's prosecution, plea bargaining, and all of that. And that has nothing to do with foreign policy, nothing to do with inflation, nothing to do with the economy. And I think once you get out of that narrow area of so-called expertise, and she wasn't that great about that, she's out over her head, out of her depth. And I think that will become increasingly apparent to the American people. This woman's being thrust into prime time and she is not ready for it. And that will become increasingly apparent. All right, folks, that was Dick Morris. And it's unbelievable how accurate he has been over the years. Really, really accurate, very accurate. And when he's talking about Harris and Walt, he's more and more accurate. Okay? And this is like a honeymoon period for Harris and Walt, okay? Doing this period until tomorrow. That's when the convention is over with. Right now, she's been nominated and they are voting on her nomination. So she will get the nomination as the presidential candidate and Walt will get it following this as the vice president candidate. So they will be facing Trump and Vince. And like Dick Morris said, she will get Harris because right now she's running like a coward, like a coward. She will not answer questions of the press. She will not call a press conference. She does not want to face the press. Now tell me, folks, you're the vice president. You're now the presidential candidate. Why want do you answer questions from the media? And quite the contrary, Vance and Trump are answering every question. They're calling news conference, press conference. They're answering the media question. And now you got the left wing media talking about them saying why won't they give an interview? She said she will in September. But what's happening now? What's happening now? They will not. What are they running from? Well, I can tell you, in my most humble opinion, they're running from their records. Both of them. Harris as the vice president, the borders are, et cetera, et cetera. And Walt, as the governor of Minnesota, the lion military, command sergeant major, which he's not. He never was. And his record, dismal, dismal record, folks, as the governor of Minnesota. What this guy has done is totally unbelievable. And in relationship to China, he's been worse than the Bidens. Worse than the Bidens. He invited the Chinese, which is our right now, Russia, China, North Korea, and Iran, or our worse, worse enemies right now, all of them. They are our enemies. And you notice they've gotten together. Now, for what purpose have they gotten together? Well, they want to take over America. And we have to remember the Bidens and Harris opened up the border. He started with Obama. He started to open up the border. But the Bidens and Harris opened up the floodgates, okay? So we don't know how many millions of people. We know that there are a couple of millions of Chinese, Iranians, Russians, and we don't know how many North Koreans have come across the border, all right? They are our enemies, folks. Now, when will something happen in America regarding activities like 9/11? I do feel it's going to happen because we don't know who's here and why they're here. They don't like us. That's for sure. Why would somebody come to a country they don't like? Answer that out there, you Democrats, you demon-crats. Why would they come to a country they don't like? Well, I tell you why. Chinese, spying, getting our technology, Russian, same way, same way, interfere with our political activities, the Iranians, the Venezuelas, I forgot them. Folks, these people are dangerous. That's why I don't want to buy anything that's not made in America, we'll be right back. Welcome back to the George Williams Show, your text and comments at 2-5-1-3-4-3-0-1-0-6. Now, making the mission possible, here's George Williams. Welcome back. Welcome back. Folks, this is the George Williams Show, our number here is 2-5-1-3-4-3-0-1-0-6, and we are on a mission. Right now, we listen to all of the lies at the Democratic, the demon-cratic convention in Chicago. Believe me, folks, there are a lot of lies that is going on right now. One thing about the demon-crats, they will, when one person's starting from the White House now, when one person's say a lie or say something, they all compete it. They all repeat it, and I'll give an example where they were talking about voter ID. They compared that to, what they compared, Jim Crow law, okay? Voter ID, they compared to Jim Crow law against minorities and people of color. Yet in still, at the convention, you cannot get in there without showing ID, folks. Isn't that hypocritical? Think about it. To vote, according to the Constitution, you must be an American citizen. You can't be just a legal residence, okay? Having that a I-1-5-1 card. That's a legal residence. You can't vote in any election without being an American citizen. But the Democrats, in several of the blue states, they don't require ID, voter ID to prove that you're an American citizen. Now, why not? They're cheating, folks. That's what they want to do. They want to cheat. They are cheating, but not calling for requiring ID to vote to prove you're an American citizen. What other reason is here? Can someone give me another reason? Why are they doing that? Because anybody in these here in the United States of America can get an ID, okay? You need ID to buy liquor and store it. You need ID to buy cigarettes now and stores. You need ID to get into the NAACP conventions. You need ID to drive a car to operate a vehicle. You need ID to open up a checking account. I just transferred banks, credit unions, and I used to be a member of this credit union. I left when I went back down in the South Florida for two years and then I lost my visa and I came back to L.A., lower Alabama. I opened this, reopened my account, but I needed a Social Security card. I needed my driver's license to open up an account. So you need an ID for every other darn thing in this world. Why don't you need ID to vote? So now because with the millions of people who are illegally in this country under the Biden and Harris administration, okay, you are, you are, we don't know who's here, we don't know who's voting, and the sad thing about that is these states are giving these illegals, driver's license, driver's license. We have to put a stop to that. All right, we have a call on. Carla, welcome to the George William shell. Hello. Yes, speak up a little bit. How are you doing? What's your point? What I'm sure I don't hear, Will. Can you hear me? Hello. Yes, sir, are you hear me? Yeah, who's calling? My name's Fox. All right. What can we do for you? Well, I'll tell you, I'll listen to you show, and I don't disagree with anything you've been saying, and I don't understand why more of the nation does not agree with you. And it's just frustrating that people don't see what's going on in this country, and I want you to keep up to good work. But there was a couple of unrelated things I want to ask you about. Okay. Number one is, I see you're retired marine majors, is that correct? Well, actually, I have to correct that. I'm a retired Army major. Well, that's fine. And I was in the Marine Corps. You could be retired Army private, it'd be fine. Well, let me give you, I was in the Marines for four years, I was in Vietnam in the Marine Corps. I was a grant. Then I went to the Air Force because I saw how nice they lived in Vietnam over there for four years. I got out and became a police officer in New Jersey, and joined the Army National Guard. So that's how I ended up. And I was there for over 30 years, regardless of what I was doing. New Jersey. So you were a Yankee. No, well, I was born in Mobile, Alabama, and left Mobile when I was 10. And we went, my mother, father, day, children traveled and moved to New Jersey. Okay. Well, what I want to ask you about is kind of a, people might not be interested in my question, but I'm, I was in the Air Force from 71 to 75. Okay. And I never went overseas, I did my service, I was willing to, but I don't, I don't feel like I'm better, and I don't feel like I deserve any veteran's benefits, like people, my brother was in the Marines and two tours of Vietnam, and he deserves what he's getting, and I don't feel like I ought to, and I think it's a lot of people in my position that feel that way. I just want to do a vision. Yeah. Well, look, you were in, and especially on your education, because when I went, when I went to college, I went under the GI Bill, because, hey, I deserved it. I deserved it. So there's no problem with that. At least you didn't try, you weren't a draft Dodger, and you didn't run the Canada like a lot of these individuals did doing that time. Okay, thank you, sir. All right. Thank you. All right, folks, there's a caller, he spent his four years in the military, and well, I can understand a little bit of that, because when I was in the Marine Corps, we saw how the Air Force lived. We call them civilians in military uniform, so no, but you deserve what you get. You're a veteran, okay? You spent those four years in the military, and you volunteered. So whatever you get, you earned it, you earned it, okay? Unlike our vice presidential candidate, Waltz, who was in the National Guard, and once they got orders, the activation orders, he quit. And then he lied about his rank. He was in the E8. You can only go up to E9 in the enlisted rank, okay? And he lied and said he was a command consortium in the Major, which was a lie. And the worst thing about that, and I call that stolen value, Valu. He used that as a stepping stone to become a congressman. Then after he was a congressman, he used that to become a governor of Minnesota, which turned out he was one of the worst governors in Minnesota. And now this man, this person, this lying command sergeant Major, as he calls himself, is a first sergeant or a master sergeant, okay, and even used the term Iraq Venom, okay? He was never in Afghanistan or Iraq. And he used it numerous times, and he can't deny it, folks, because you got it on video. When he went to Italy, I don't think Italy is in Afghanistan or Iraq, okay? And the way he was carrying his rifle, etc., etc., folks, that is nothing but a lie. And when we get back, we have a minute before commercial, but my thing is this man walks back, it's dangerous, folks. He's dangerous, and I will outline that when we get back. I didn't think anybody could be more dangerous than Harris, but her vice presidential candidate is dangerous. And we will get into that when we come back from a break, okay? And when I say dangerous, the things he has done as the governor of Minnesota, and his relationship with one of our foreign enemies, foreign enemies, his relationship with them is very dangerous, very dangerous. And this man wants to be the vice president of these United States. Can you imagine what he will do? We'll be back after these messages. Welcome back to the George Williams Show, your texts and comments at 2-5-1-3-4-3-0-1-06. Now, making the mission possible. Here's George Williams. Welcome back. Welcome back, folks. We are on a mission. Our mission is to get as many Democrats out of office as we can because they are dangerous, folks. They're dangerous. They're anti-American, and if any of them come in front of me and say, "That is not true," I will call them a liar, because look what they've done to this country. Look what they've done already under the Obama administration, and now under the Biden-Harris administration. Look at these countries. Look at the prices of goods. It is totally unbelievable that someone would do this. Now, I've been overseas and spent a total of over 13 years overseas. And now I see our country, the United States of America, similar to some of those countries in South America and in Africa. I see it, folks. I see it. I see it here. I see it here. And it's such a shame that it's happening in America. And I gave you one example of our presidential, vice presidential candidate. His relationship with China is frightening. It's frightening, folks. Some of the things that he's done with China, he's had from Minnesota, he arranged where we have Chinese students coming over here, and some of our students going to China. Well, let me tell you something. I can almost guarantee, in my estimate, they were not students. They were intelligence, Chinese intelligence agents coming over here pretending to be students, at least some of them, or if not most of them, okay? He allowed the Chinese to open up offices in Minnesota. And from what I've heard, those offices were from the Chinese Communist Party. They're intelligence people. And they would try and track down Chinese dissent for those Chinese who were speaking up against the Communist Party in China. This is what this man from what I've heard was doing in Minnesota, okay, as a governor of Minnesota. And then the other things that he used to do as a governor, putting women, sanitary napkins in the bin's bathroom, the boy's bathroom, okay? Trying to register 16 and 17-year-olds, to register them, to pre-register to vote, okay? There are about 10 or 11 things that have been highlighted, and I don't have them in front of me. But that, in my mind, equals to danger, the red flag about the vice presidential candidate. The red flag, this man is dangerous, he's a liar. He's a liar. His relationship with China is very frightened, very frightened. So this is what we have to look forward to. And then when you couple that with Harris, that's double frightened, folks. She is dangerous. And the thing about this whole situation, once they're nominated, and she's been nominated, and she is going to be the candidate because I'm watching it on TV. And he's going to be the candidate as the vice president. So we have double trouble. Now just watch and wait until they have a press conference. True, this election will give them a, this conference will give them a boost, but for a very short period of time, I can tell you that. And I guarantee you that it will give the Democrats a boost. However, it won't last long, folks. Wait until she give her first, press conference. Wait until she give that. And I think we have a caller, caller, decide to help keep you holding on. Well, I wasn't holding on, I just called. How you doing? Scott, how you doing? Who's talking? Sam from Gulf Shores. All right, Sam. I'm on the other side, but I listen to you because I don't think you lie. I just think you know we have different opinions, but what I wanted, the reason I called is because I want to explain to you what I think is the reason why the states give these aliens or immigrants, what do we call them? illegals. illegals. Well, okay, you know what a minute, or driver's license is actually okay, if they are going to drive and you get a driver's license, and you know, they can't, they can't buy insurance unless they have one. And so they're riding around in our car, in our state, and it, which they're going to do anyway. And if we don't let them get legal, they won't have insurance. They're not legal. They're illegals. Send them back to where they come from. Well, that's one remedy. Okay. Yeah, but I just, I just wanted to tell you that's, that's the reason why they give them ideas is so they can buy insurance. So, oh, well, you know, that's your opinion, but I know it's not my opinion, it's what they said when they put the law through the legislature. I don't think it's a good reason. Oh, well, okay, you can, you can say that, you know, but that's, that's what pushed it through the legislature was to give the people the opportunity to buy insurance when they're driving cars in Alabama. That's all. That's, that was a law, Alabama law. Yeah. When was that passed? I don't know it was, I think quite some time ago. I mean, it wasn't a long, it wasn't a long time ago, but I don't remember that law and I know a lot of politicians in Alabama. Well, I think where I heard it was on the morning political show on this station. So, and I could be wrong, I could be wrong, you know, I could have, I could be thinking about another state. But anyway, that's what I, that's what I, that's what I, that's what I see the problem with that is once they get driver's license, then they can go to any other state and they can vote because all you need to do is show that you're here in America, okay, and, and they can go and vote even though they're not US citizens and they're here illegally. So that's why I'm totally against that. All right. I'm going to look that up because I don't know the answer to that. Okay. I know what you, I know what you said, but, and you know, I, I think highly of your integrity and on this, on this, on this program. All right. Thank you. Thank you for calling. All right. Bye. All right, folks. We got another caller. Caller, welcome to the George Williams show. Good evening, George Wayne Biggs from Sarah Lynn. How are you? Hey, how you doing? I'm doing great. I just wanted to let you know that the, your previous caller, he must have been thinking about another state, Alabama law does not allow undocumented aliens better known as illegals. Right. To, to receive a state issue driver's license. Yeah. I know that, but you know what I was going to do? I was going to wait and talk to my one of the political persons in South Alabama here because I've never heard of that law and I try to keep up with the laws of Alabama. Correct. Yeah. And I, I think there would have been an uproar in Alabama had they passed the law that gave an undocumented alien, a driver's license, regardless of the reason, but, but you were spot on there, there is no law. Right. All right. Thank you. Well, what do you think they should do with the illegals who are coming into Alabama? And now, you know, when they're coming into Alabama, they, they are coming from across the border and I've worked the border and in order to get through Mexico and to cross the border, they're going to have to bring something with them. And most of the time is drugs and, and we're going to be inundated with drugs. So what are your thoughts on that? Yeah. Well, I think that we have to do what we needed to do years ago and that we did for a brief period and not completely, but in part is to close the border to illegal crossings, not to just have a welcome mat out for anybody that wants to come. I mean, you know, just was it yesterday or today that we found out that the, there's some chicken processing plants up and around Albertville, Alabama and some of the northern counties that are, they, they had prior to recently, they were but not buffing him, but they were using bands to transport illegal aliens from other plants like in Arkansas, Mississippi to the plants in, in North Alabama. And now they're busing, busing them in, they're putting them on charter buses and bringing them in by the bus load. And I guarantee you that unfortunately, while those plants will be able to function because they're having, they've got some low income, low payroll employees, the stuff that comes with all of that stuff, the crime rates are going to go up and I'm sorry, there's, they were, one of the big issues George was having to have either bilingual teachers or having translators in each classroom because you had so many, maybe Spanish speaking children and that there was, it was causing a strain on the school system and rightfully so the people who are paying the taxes to support the schools, their children are being, you know, basically not ignored but, but they're not getting the quality of education that they could if it was a one language centered classroom and I have no issue with, I have no issue and I know you don't either, we have no issue with people who emigrate to the country legally that go through the process and I know people who have become naturalized citizens who are angry as all get out that the Democrats are just throwing the doors open and allowing these people to come in, these undocumented and like you said, we don't know what they're bringing, we don't know what kind of people they are, we do know that they come into the country, they have their hearing before the immigration judge and they say come back in two years and that's the last that anybody ever sees or hears from them, we know that they're here and we know unfortunately because of some high profile crimes that have been occurring in the during the Biden years that all of these people aren't fine upstanding citizens that just want a better better way of life, correct, correct, you're absolutely correct and after the break I'll start talking a little bit more about that because I spent many years overseas as a DEA special agent and we don't know what we've gotten ourselves into, okay, what the Biden and Obama have gotten us into, thanks, thanks recall, yes sir, enjoy the show buddy, all right, thank you, all right folks, we're gonna be going into our last break here but we'll talk about that when we get back, I mean folks, the Democrats have opened up the floodgates for crime, for spying and everything else and you're just sitting back and you're watching it but you don't know what's happening, right before your eyes and I think we better start opening up our eyes, okay, we'll be right back. Welcome back to the George Williams Show, your texts and comments at 251-3430106, now making the mission possible, here's George Williams, all right, welcome back folks to the George Williams Show, our number here is 251-3430106 and I enjoy talking to Carl and the callers, okay, you know, you give us your viewpoint and you know, we'll discuss it, so I enjoy those two calls, before I start on the enemies of America, I must say, I know I've had him on here before on the station as a guest, he's chef Joe Appaya out of Phoenix there, Arizona and he's a former chef now and we're going to, we got a caller, let's take the caller and then I'll tell you, he's coming to Mobile, she has Appaya, okay, and I'll tell you a little bit about it after this caller, welcome to the George Williams Show. Hello, can you hear me? Yeah, I can hear now, go ahead. I know we're back to a little bit, but the driver's license issue that's, that dude was, he was very off base, unfortunately I got a DUI about 10 years ago and lost my license, but I still maintained insurance, you could feel by insurance in Alabama, right, and without having a license. Yeah, yeah, and, and one more thing, I'm torn because I like some of these dudes, they're pretty good guys, I work with some illegal, you know, you know, undocumented workers, they, you know, do construction work, they say it's so easy, everybody says they go through hails, excuse my language, to get over here, their people are dying, and I know that does happen, but they really laugh about how easy, you don't have to pay coyotes and, and cartel people and bring over duffel bags full of drugs, you just, they, they really laugh about how easy it is, just to walk over and you get every gets one or two of them has been sent back, right across right back over, and then right back over, because the boy is, the the board is, yeah, yes, sir, no, and you know what, they also despise Trump, because it wasn't so easy, right, those years, right, yeah, very true, yeah, that's just a fact, I'll let y'all go, but that's it. All right, thank you. The wife was saying that guy was way off base, I didn't have a license for like four years, but I have it back now, thank y'all, but um, yeah, yeah. All right, y'all have a good one. All right, thanks. All right, love you, Joe. All right, love you, man. All right. Same here. Thanks for the call. All right, folks. Here's another thing that they're doing, and I, I've noticed this even in Baldwin County, they have Hispanic speakers at the motor vehicle place. Okay, now folks, if you do not speak English, you do not get a done driver's license. Okay, in the 80s, I was assigned to our Brazilian Brazil office in Brazil. Before I went to Brazil, I had to go to language school for a year, FSI, Foreign Service Institute, to learn Portuguese and Spanish. And after that year, then I went to Brazil. Okay, I was speaking Spanish. I wasn't speaking a good until after six months after. Oh, yeah, but I spent there almost six years here. In the 90s, before I was being assigned to the Nigeria, Lagos Nigeria, DEA office. Prior to going to Nigeria, I had to go to French language school, same school in the Eroslin, Virginia, FSI, Foreign Service Institute, to learn French. Okay. So we are allowing folks to come here who don't speak English to drive. If you don't speak English, how the hell are you going to read the signs? How do you know when to stop? How do you know when to go? How do you know the directions? Folks, we are a sad situation with illegals. Even folks who are coming here in illegal status. Before you get a German license, you should learn English. But I don't care. You go to a private school, learn from English, so you can pass that test. But we're going to hire a native speaker to process your issues, to get a license and you can't speak English. You've got to be kidding me. You've got to be joking. And that's what they're doing. That's what they're doing. Now, one day you have so many accidents a hit and run, like in South Florida, a lot of hit and runs because people don't have license. They don't have license. This is a sad part of America and what's happened here in America. When I was based in Nigeria, my agents and I covered 40 countries. Every time I would get a request from the U.S. to check this person who was in America, most of the time when we checked them, everything that they sent me to check was phony. It was phony. Like I graduated from Lagos State University with a master's degree. That was a lie. That was a lie. They come over here and they got over these degrees. They've done this. They've done that. And when we check them over there, no record of them. So these people are coming here getting these jobs over American citizens and they're not qualified. This is just one thing that happens here in America. They don't have schools like we have them. They don't keep records. Matter of fact, the president of Nigeria said he graduated from Chicago University. He didn't graduate from Chicago University. He lied. He can hardly talk. But because of all the cheating over there, okay, they elected him. They didn't elect him, president. It was almost like the Biden situation in Trump. I mean, there was so much cheating. Then it went to the Supreme Court of Nigeria. And the Supreme Court's over there is so corrupt. The court system or so corrupt, okay? So they allowed this guy to be president. It's in a booth. And he's a president of Nigeria. They just had all kind of national, national demonstration because they call it the hungry strike demonstration because people going hungry. Okay. But yet they spent a million dollars to buy a airplane for him. This has happened in this world over. And look what happened in Brazil with Luna, the president. Now he had Bon Naggio, who's the president. He's almost like Trump. And he had been arrested in jail and the corrupt Supreme Court in Brazil said, no, he can get out. And he ran for president. And they gave him the election. Okay. He's a communist. He's a communist. So they have no kind of problems in Brazil, which is similar to here. In my opinion, Biden won the election. But because of the democratic states, the policies, no driver's license, no ID to vote, no ID to vote. Are you kidding me? You need an ID for everything, folks. And let me tell you, let me tell you, it's a bad situation. So all of you Americans out there, especially you black Americans and you Jewish Americans, how can you vote Democrat? Talking to my Jewish brothers and sisters now with what's happened in Israel, how can you vote for the Democrats? Look, you had a good governor in Pennsylvania, Democrat, who should have been selected over walls, but because he's Jewish. All right. So you pick walls. This is the Democrat party for you folks. So I can't see any Jewish Americans citizen voting Democrat. I can't see that. I can't see that. So folks, wake up, wake up, wake up black folks. You know, you've been on that democratic plantation for all these years. Wake up. Now, we're, we are having a lot of blacks who are not voting Democrat. This year, I think Trump is going to get the most black votes than any Republican ever got on this November 5th election. So folks, let me tell you, we've got a job to do and we're going to do it. We're going to do it. We'll be back next week until that time, Fred Condales, everyone. [MUSIC PLAYING]
