"Where's the Other 50%?" (FTTxJT Wed 110426 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: Science and more mega now make America great again than
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: I've ever been.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas. I know, I know.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Some of you tuned in this morning just to see
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: if he was still there. Oh, just like the poet
• 0:41
  Speaker 3: did in Baltimore Harbor. Let me see if he's still
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: waving in the breeze. There he is. Ted Nugent CDs
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: in hand.
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: U.S.
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: Constitution and Russell Kirk's A Conservative Mind still in my hand.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: And here we go again. And it is not the
• 1:04
  Speaker 3: first time you and I have had these mornings. How
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: many times if you're a longtime caller, first time listener,
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, other way around. And the folks in my
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: flagship city have followed me from station to station. And
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: they've they've had mornings like this with me. where dead
• 1:28
  Speaker 3: bodies had to be picked up from the side of
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: the highway. State troopers pulled dead state troopers from the
• 1:35
  Speaker 3: wreckage of helicopters and activists in hospitals with multiple body
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: parts in slings and casts and corpses of activists on
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: the side of the road after Nazis decided they wanted
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to march across our bridge. I hate Charlottesville Nazis. How
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: many mornings after big midterm losses or gubernatorial defeats or
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: presidential comeuppances have we had to get together? And how
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: many times have I been just like this? Because you
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: and I are players that have roles to play. but
• 2:21
  Speaker 3: the world is great. Conservatism, even if all you care
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: about is conservative thought, Western conservatism existed before the United
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: States did. John Locke and his theories existed hundreds of
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: years before the United States decided to try to make
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: them into a governing platform. So no, we weren't going
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: to roll up the Ted Nugent discs and change our
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: format and start playing Polka music all morning. Although, I mean,
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: there's a certain amount of, you know, Polka Friday might
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: not be a bad idea there. Speaking of Oompapa, I
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: put the Oompapa in your Mau Mau later. One of
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: the longtime members, though not a founding member, but been
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: around since 1965 in the Oak Ridge Boys. is going
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: to join us. They've got a new album and they're
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: out on tour because other stuff is going on. But
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: we'll get to you as well. Ken Cuccinelli from the
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: Election Transparency Initiative going to join us as well this morning.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: But our first things, yes, we know there were elections
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: held yesterday. Prop 40 loses in California. Republicans, incapable of
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: tapping into that zeitgeist, lost pretty much everywhere else. Democrat
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: victories in North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and Ohio as
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: Governor Roy Cooper wins in North Carolina against Michael Watley.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: James Tallarico, yes, you're waking up in a world where
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: James Tallarico is a U.S. Senator-elect. He defeated Attorney General
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: Ken Paxton. Abdul El-Sayed is a U.S. Senator-elect, although it
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: shouldn't be unusual to have a Democrat win in Michigan.
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: He nearly wrested defeat from the jaws of usual victory.
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Darlene Nardone Nee Graham lost the U.S. Senate race in
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: South Carolina, fumbling away a seat her brother had held
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: for quite some time to Democrat Annie Andrews. Sherrod Brown
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: in Ohio defeated John Husted. Even Susan Collins lost her
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: seat in the U.S. Senate in Maine. Democrats also defended
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: seats in Georgia and New Hampshire, John Ossoff, Chris Pappas.
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: There is a Democrat in Josa, governor of Texas, this
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: morning as you join us. And the Democrat party has
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: won a majority of seats in the U.S. Senate, 54
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: to 44, with two still to be determined. And the House,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: 228 to 139. In Alaska, Dan Sullivan is holding on
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: to a one percentage point lead over Mary Peltola. Although 1.7
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: percentage points of the electorate had voted for the other
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: Dan Sullivan. Those are some of our first things this

  Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 7:07
  Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 7:12
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 7:17
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 7:27
  Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 7:31
  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 7:35
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 7: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 7: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 7: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: Oh, yes.
• 9:15
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 9:16
  Speaker 7: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 7: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 7: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 3: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 8: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 9:32
  Speaker 7: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.

  Speaker 7: training and more. So go forth. Bring home those donut earrings.

  Speaker 7: And bring home so much good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 10: Goodwill.

  Speaker 7: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 11: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 11: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 11: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 11: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 11: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 11: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 11: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 7: Eat better.
• 10:42
  Speaker 11: Get moving. Visit checkupamerica.org or call 1-800-DIABETES, a message from
• 10:47
  Speaker 11: the American Diabetes Association.

  Speaker 10: My name is Jim.
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: I'm a veteran, and I lost both legs in Vietnam.
• 10:54
  Speaker 3: My victory was proving that a disability is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran. My victory was going from
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: homeless to home.
• 11:03
  Speaker 12: At DAV, we're on a mission, helping veterans of all
• 11:06
  Speaker 12: generations get the benefits they've earned.

• 11:47
  Speaker 8: No word in the English language is less convincing.
• 11:50
  Speaker 13: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 15: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 15: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 16: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 15: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 17: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 14: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 13: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 8: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 18: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 9: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 14: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 19: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 6: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 9: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 3: and driving.
• 12:39
  Speaker 13: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 12:42
  Speaker 8: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you
• 12:45
  Speaker 8: by NHTSA and the Ad Council. You know the legal
• 12:48
  Speaker 8: drinking age is 21.
• 12:50
  Speaker 7: You may also know this law protects teens.
• 12:52
  Speaker 8: Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.
• 12:56
  Speaker 19: A message from the We Don't Serve Teens program and
• 12:58
  Speaker 19: the Federal Trade Commission.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, first thing today by
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: Reach out. We're holding like an intervention for our friends
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: in the Democrat Party who have now received everything they wanted,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: and they're going to be found wanting at the end
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: of the day. This email came in from Dan. He said, Joe,
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: I think it may be pushing the envelope to compare
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: the average Democrat voter to Luigi Mangione. And then I
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: thought back to the time I went to the No
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: Kings rally, and I thought, no, there was probably seven
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: or eight Luigi Mangione wannabes in that crowd. woe be
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: any Democrat that fails to bring them all the stuff
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: that they're expecting. Well, thank you. I appreciate you tuning
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: in this morning. And understand, I get nothing from either
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: political party. I want better Democrats. I want Democrats who
• 14:35
  Speaker 3: just want to, you know, do a little bit more
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: for the social safety net, not, you know, bring on
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: full-on robot Woody Marxism, because I know what that means.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: I know the death toll that that will bring. And
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: it'll begin with people like the UnitedHealthcare CEO.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Dr.
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: Clark's been hanging on the line with us this morning. Sir,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: good morning. Clark, how are you doing this morning? Oh,
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: still got this upper respiratory thing.
• 15:01
  Speaker 16: Could sleep better.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: So anyway, Saturday, I.
• 15:06
  Speaker 16: Told a horror story that, whereas it was prophetic, it's
• 15:10
  Speaker 16: not the story about Halloween I should have told, Joe.
• 15:13
  Speaker 16: I should have told about Linus and the Great Pumpkin.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: OK.
• 15:19
  Speaker 16: Every year you watch that show, Linus goes and sits
• 15:23
  Speaker 16: out there and waits on the great pumpkin. The great
• 15:25
  Speaker 16: pumpkin never comes. And we, the people, sit out there
• 15:31
  Speaker 16: in a pumpkin patch waiting for the Republican Party to
• 15:35
  Speaker 16: come through for us. It's never going to happen, Joe.
• 15:38
  Speaker 16: We need to go out and trick or treat on
• 15:40
  Speaker 16: our own and quit waiting on the Republican Party to
• 15:43
  Speaker 16: do it. And let's come back to that in just
• 15:45
  Speaker 16: a minute.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Well, I want to, yeah, please, please, because this was
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: a point I made earlier about third parties. But you
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: go ahead.
• 15:51
  Speaker 16: I'm going to come back to it.
• 15:53
  Speaker 1: I will.
• 15:53
  Speaker 16: And it won't be a third party. So blame the
• 15:57
  Speaker 16: mainstream media, the Democrat Party, the Republican Party.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: They're all going to blame.
• 16:02
  Speaker 16: Donald Trump and his policies.
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: And that's BS, Joe.
• 16:06
  Speaker 16: That's BS. If it were not for Donald Trump, America
• 16:10
  Speaker 16: would be 10 years into Hillary's commie hell. And you
• 16:14
  Speaker 16: and I would have long since been sent to a
• 16:16
  Speaker 16: gulag or the Ministry of Love or maybe just shot outright.
• 16:21
  Speaker 16: And that's a fact.
• 16:24
  Speaker 3: I was asked about the FCC. And if I feared
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: the FCC going after, are you kidding? I said the
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: Democrats just played the communications world like a harp from hell.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: They're not going to try to regulate the FCC. They
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: want more of these bloggers and vloggers out there. pretending
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: to be news sites.
• 16:46
  Speaker 16: The biggest difference between the Democrats and the Republicans is
• 16:49
  Speaker 16: the Democrats do what they say. And at least Sotkin
• 16:53
  Speaker 16: was not joking. She was just giving one example. You know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 16: she talked about young people working for Donald Trump. The
• 17:04
  Speaker 16: same goes for you and your FCC license. Let's do
• 17:07
  Speaker 16: a little bit of pattern recognition and then we're going
• 17:10
  Speaker 16: to come back around to that party thing. Now, The
• 17:14
  Speaker 16: people that will do what we don't want get into power.
• 17:19
  Speaker 16: And then they do so much of what we don't
• 17:21
  Speaker 16: want that we show up in sufficient numbers to vote
• 17:25
  Speaker 16: in the people that won't do what we do want.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yes.
• 17:30
  Speaker 16: And then after a few years of them not doing
• 17:34
  Speaker 16: what we do want, we become so disenfranchised that we
• 17:38
  Speaker 16: fail to show up in sufficient numbers. And the cycle repeats. And, Joe,
• 17:45
  Speaker 16: it repeats and it repeats and it repeats. And the
• 17:49
  Speaker 16: best thing that Donald Trump could do in his last
• 17:52
  Speaker 16: two years would be to start the nucleus of a
• 17:56
  Speaker 16: new party.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Well, I brought this up.
• 18:00
  Speaker 16: It represents one.
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: I brought this up, and this is the Republican Party's
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: worst fear, is that Donald Trump goes and grabs all
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: the— centrists, Pennsylvania Democrats, Ohio Democrats, you know, and maybe
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: even invites Hakeem Jeffries in there to anyone who wants
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: to run down the middle of the road with him.
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: He's going to abandon the traditional right, the House Freedom
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: Caucus stuff. He's going to leave Rand Paul and these
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: fiscal conservatives always screaming about, you know, spending more money.
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: and that he's going to create, this is their fear,
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: this we're from the government and we're here to help
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: party in the middle, leaving the AOCs and the El
• 18:50
  Speaker 3: Sayeds on one curb. And I know Andy Biggs isn't
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: there anymore, but the Rand Pauls and the Tommy Massys
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: on the right-hand curb. And he's just, it's going to
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: be a massive party. And the only danger he has
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: in doing this is that he will be involved in it,
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: and they have so vilified him that if he's seen
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: as having anything to do with it, it's going to
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: ruin it. But if Marco Rubio or a J.D. Vance
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: can pull this together, he'll be written into history books.
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: They'll chisel him on Mount Rushmore. for creating the we're
• 19:36
  Speaker 3: from the government and we're here to help party.
• 19:40
  Speaker 16: Well, having been a Marine Corps scout sniper, Joe, I
• 19:43
  Speaker 16: can tell you for a fact, you can get a
• 19:46
  Speaker 16: lot done staying hidden in the butches.
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: Well, let's hope so.
• 19:52
  Speaker 16: The Democrats, like you say, they're on the verge of
• 19:55
  Speaker 16: a schism. A new party gives them somewhere to go.
• 19:58
  Speaker 16: How far is the Republican Party behind that? Let's just
• 20:02
  Speaker 16: go ahead and get out front. I'm like Huey Lewis,
• 20:05
  Speaker 16: except I don't want a new drug.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: I want a new party.
• 20:09
  Speaker 16: One that will represent we the people. And we don't
• 20:12
  Speaker 16: have one, Joe. The Republican Party represents Republican Party and
• 20:16
  Speaker 16: the Democrat Party represents the Democrat Party. And the American
• 20:20
  Speaker 16: people are left without representation.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: But you're not going to get that until we repeal,
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: say it with me, boys and girls, the 1929 Act
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: for Permanent Reapportionment. Because once you get smaller congressional districts,
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: that becomes the fertile soil where parties like Reform in England.
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: Reform doesn't begin in the United States. You would never get,
• 20:46
  Speaker 3: even with a character of the media like, I just
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: had his name in my head, not Gordon Ramsay, he's
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: the chef. So the Reform Party is born because there
• 21:02
  Speaker 3: are small representative districts in the British Parliament. And that's
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: the only way it can happen. is if you have
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: small districts, then the small parties can take root before
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: the big parties come up with some reasonable way to
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: choke them off of the oxygen slash money slash opportunity
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: to get onto a ballot that they need. I've got
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: to run to the news here, my friend, but hang
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: in there, and at least you guys held onto your
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: Senate seat and were watching your neighbors in Mississippi pretty closely.
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: I think it's still not even... It's about 55 votes
• 21:41
  Speaker 3: separating the two, Hyde-Smith and Colombe there in Mississippi. So
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: hang in there. We'll talk to you soon, Clark, and
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: you have a good morning. All right.
• 21:54

  Speaker 3: Mac is coming up. Yeah, there was sports yesterday and

• 23:10
  Speaker 20: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, SUV, or light truck,
• 23:14
  Speaker 20: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
• 23:16
  Speaker 20: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
• 23:20
  Speaker 20: That's what you should use. But there are exceptions to
• 23:23
  Speaker 20: the rule. Many high-end or luxury vehicles call for premium
• 23:26
  Speaker 20: or higher octane fuel. And the reason for this is
• 23:29
  Speaker 20: not just due to the octane rating. There are better
• 23:31
  Speaker 20: fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know, too,
• 23:35
  Speaker 20: that vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
• 23:38
  Speaker 20: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
• 23:40
  Speaker 20: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
• 23:44
  Speaker 20: your fuel choices around, say, every third tankful, you may
• 23:47
  Speaker 20: find better performance and miles per gallon because you are
• 23:50
  Speaker 20: cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive. Just
• 23:53
  Speaker 20: don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them anytime soon.

  Speaker 20: See you next time.
• 24:04
  Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 5: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 24:47
  Speaker 5: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

• 28:15
  Speaker 2: in that? First thing today by Joe Thomas on the
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Talk Media Network.
• 28:20
  Speaker 3: On this Ted's D morning, it is time for Mac
• 28:23
  Speaker 3: McDonald to open his sports reporter's notebook. You know, it's
• 28:26
  Speaker 3: fun when the beginning of the NCAA basketball season gets
• 28:30
  Speaker 3: backed up enough so that they're not playing the March
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Madness championship game in June. Because I'm thinking... Yeah, we
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: were trying to do election night coverage, and our flagship
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: station is affiliated with an ACC basketball team. And so
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: we're doing these drop-ins, top and bottom of the hour, whatever. Luckily,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: they were up 30 points on the Sisters of the
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: Poor or whoever they were playing. Yeah, Coppin State, yeah.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: But I'm like, I've never had to do this, like
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: negotiate in between an NCAA basketball game and election night.
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: And I realized it's because, you know, they keep getting
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: further into April when they finally finish March Madness.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 29:15
  Speaker 16: Okay.
• 29:16
  Speaker 9: And see, the NBA took the night off. So they've
• 29:20
  Speaker 9: never played on election night. And, well, when I say never,
• 29:25
  Speaker 9: over the last few years, I'd have to go back
• 29:27
  Speaker 9: and look. I don't want to make it an absolute. But, yeah,
• 29:31
  Speaker 9: I was a little surprised, too, that some college games
• 29:32
  Speaker 9: were scheduled last night. But, you know, so it goes. Oh,
• 29:36
  Speaker 9: if we're caught up, a couple of media things today.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: Diana Roussin.
• 29:40
  Speaker 9: Is back into the news, not messing with, you know,
• 29:43
  Speaker 9: Patriots coaches and trying to handle, you know, boats and
• 29:47
  Speaker 9: hugs on a retreat. But she filed a report and
• 29:52
  Speaker 9: a story about Steve Sarkeesian being courted by the Tennessee Titans.
• 29:56
  Speaker 9: Sarkeesian was furious. Coaches hate the fact that midseason push,
• 30:01
  Speaker 9: they're trying to get a playoff, trying to win games, whatever.
• 30:05
  Speaker 9: And they just hate when their name is being thrown around.
• 30:08
  Speaker 9: You know, from a media standpoint. And so Sarkeesian said
• 30:11
  Speaker 9: it was ridiculous. I don't know where she got it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 9: It's poor reporting. I mean, he he went after. Well,
• 30:16
  Speaker 9: at the same time, this Joe Buck, Troy Aikman thing,
• 30:20
  Speaker 9: you know, OK, look, can't we all can't we all
• 30:24
  Speaker 9: get along? Look, Aikman. OK, Buck got his deal done.
• 30:27
  Speaker 9: His contract extension. Aikman did not. And so they say
• 30:30
  Speaker 9: it's strained, this 25-year relationship that, you know, when you've
• 30:36
  Speaker 9: got two egos, you know, that big in the same booth.
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: Of course.
• 30:40
  Speaker 9: Well, a crisis management guy named Jeff Hunt has weighed in,
• 30:46
  Speaker 9: saying that if Aikman's time at ESPN is indeed coming
• 30:48
  Speaker 9: to an end, it might behoove the worldwide leader in
• 30:51
  Speaker 9: sports to say so and end the public squabbling. And
• 30:55
  Speaker 9: I've heard Aikman on a.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: Couple of talks. They haven't been public squabbling.
• 30:59
  Speaker 9: I watched Monday Night Football.
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: They were fine.
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 31:03
  Speaker 9: Aikman does just what Aikman does. He had a couple
• 31:07
  Speaker 9: of talk shows where he just said, well, I don't
• 31:10
  Speaker 9: want to talk about it. He was asked about it,
• 31:12
  Speaker 9: a national radio show. And he said, I've been asked
• 31:17
  Speaker 9: about it, but he didn't go into detail. So he
• 31:19
  Speaker 9: didn't go into a lot of stuff.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: So, all right.
• 31:22
  Speaker 9: I love this, too, yesterday, because Kirk Ferentz is an institution, really,
• 31:27
  Speaker 9: at the University of Iowa, 28 years there. They're ranked 21st.
• 31:30
  Speaker 9: They're really outside the college football playoff. Now, this guy's
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: been around the block. He was an assistant in the
• 31:36
  Speaker 9: NFL with the Browns and the Ravens. Four-time Big Ten
• 31:40
  Speaker 9: Coach of the Year, five-time National Coach of the Year,
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: a couple of Big Ten titles. Okay, you know, not Texas,
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: not Alabama, whatever. 13 straight bowl invitations. Okay, yeah, his
• 31:50
  Speaker 9: record is really, really good. So he gets a question. Naturally,
• 31:53
  Speaker 9: I like to bring you guys the press conference noise.
• 31:57
  Speaker 9: So he gets a question about the playoff, and then
• 32:00
  Speaker 9: he fires off on the four-letter.
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: This is really good. All right, question.
• 32:04
  Speaker 9: Did you know that the press conference was yesterday? Do
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: you know the CFP is going to release their 12?
• 32:09
  Speaker 1: Will you pay attention at all to the college football
• 32:12
  Speaker 1: playoff rankings tonight?
• 32:15
  Speaker 10: Geez, I can't wait. Yeah, that's tonight. Yeah, I mean,
• 32:18
  Speaker 10: we'd like to go. Whenever they started the playoffs, we
• 32:21
  Speaker 10: would have been happy to be in them. It's great
• 32:23
  Speaker 10: for TV, right? It's going to be on televised. ESPN's
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: loving it. Next time I look at my iPad, I'm
• 32:28
  Speaker 10: sure I'll be reading all about it.
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: And can't wait.
• 32:31
  Speaker 9: So, okay, a little jab. That was the first jab.
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: That was a way maker.
• 32:35
  Speaker 9: Yeah, he followed up, okay, we got Northwestern this week.
• 32:39
  Speaker 9: If you look ahead, it's not a recipe for winning, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
• 32:43
  Speaker 9: But he wanted to make sure that the four-letter got
• 32:46
  Speaker 9: his message.
• 32:47
  Speaker 10: I did notice, like, they seem to promote the sports
• 32:49
  Speaker 10: that they carry. Is that correct? I'm figuring that out.
• 32:52
  Speaker 10: You couldn't find anything on the Baseball World Series. Until
• 32:56
  Speaker 10: the last game. I'm living in the same world, right? Oh, yeah, Fox, ESPN.
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: I got it, okay. And I better watch out because
• 33:04
  Speaker 10: Fox is... Well, I'm pro-Fox, right? I mean, we're a
• 33:07
  Speaker 10: Fox conference.
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah, we're playing a Fox, but after all, you know,
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: so with the breakdown of the CFP last night.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: That was fun. Now if I could only get politicians
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: to talk like that. Yeah, by the way. Outside of
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: the White House. Let me answer.
• 33:21
  Speaker 9: So you didn't go live from somebody's hall last night
• 33:26
  Speaker 9: to cover election night?
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: Too many choices. I was thinking about going down to
• 33:30
  Speaker 3: Mike Haradopoulos' victory party last on the Treasure Coast, but
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: there was too much driving involved. But, you know, I
• 33:38
  Speaker 3: really wanted to go to the victory party for the
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: repeal the billionaire tax in Sacramento, because we live in
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: a world where Californians, Californians will vote against a billionaire tax,
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: but Republicans can't win in Texas. It's a crazy world,
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: but I just paint the pictures. I didn't follow much.
• 34:00
  Speaker 9: I was watching Virginia basketball last night, and I didn't
• 34:03
  Speaker 9: watch much of it. Michelle Tafoya, speaking to the broadcasters,
• 34:08
  Speaker 9: she had the lead and then lost. and she had
• 34:11
  Speaker 9: a couple of really good endorsements.
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: But anyway, getting back to— In Minnesota, really, a whole
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: bunch of Democrat votes showing up late. I wonder if
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: they were in the Somali community.
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: Yeah, imagine that, right? So last night, the CFP, with
• 34:25
  Speaker 9: their political agenda, I guess, and they wanted to push their,
• 34:28
  Speaker 9: you know, the first dirty dozen. I'll have that headline
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: next hour. But the CF committee's got Miami clearly number one.
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: And they're up for Georgia, Utah, Indiana with the top
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: four Alabama running at top. I don't know how about
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: it's still in there. Ohio state's still in there, but
• 34:45
  Speaker 9: the sec has got five and the big 10 has
• 34:47
  Speaker 9: got three. So you know, five conference champions are guaranteed
• 34:51
  Speaker 9: to make the 12 team bracket 25 number 25, Boise state,
• 34:56
  Speaker 9: a group of 16 would replace Ohio state as the
• 34:59
  Speaker 9: 12th seed, depending on how that, that plays out. But anyway,
• 35:02
  Speaker 9: with the release and now it goes on every week
• 35:05
  Speaker 9: and I, And I almost wish that they would wait
• 35:08
  Speaker 9: because you do it now and now you're just watching
• 35:12
  Speaker 9: what happens with certain teams. Miami's got Notre Dame.
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: But it's all about making people talk. This is the thing.
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: Yeah, it is.
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: Come on, guys. Let's play games. Talk about the games
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: that were played and we can move on from there. Scoreboard.
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: That's the expression we used to use in the playground.
• 35:29
  Speaker 10: Scoreboard.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: You can talk, oh, I'm a better ball player than you.
• 35:33
  Speaker 22: Scoreboard.
• 35:33
  Speaker 9: Did you see the scoreboard?
• 35:34
  Speaker 12: Yeah.
• 35:34
  Speaker 9: Yeah, did you see that? And so this weekend, and
• 35:37
  Speaker 9: we'll talk more about this heading into the weekend, but
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: six top 25 games are on tap this way. This
• 35:44
  Speaker 9: is one of the better. college football weekends. And because
• 35:48
  Speaker 9: of the parody that we're seeing, that's going to be
• 35:51
  Speaker 9: kind of our, our focus, shameless plug on foster friends with,
• 35:55
  Speaker 9: with bud, because you know, all over the board, really,
• 35:59
  Speaker 9: we are seeing this, you know, I had yesterday, with
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: Kirby smart talking about 105 players is not enough, but
• 36:06
  Speaker 9: if they, if they cap it and get it done,
• 36:09
  Speaker 9: then you know, the college, we are, we are seeing
• 36:12
  Speaker 9: an era of, I don't care about the poorly, but
• 36:14
  Speaker 9: we will see like a roster cap and a, and
• 36:18
  Speaker 9: a numbers cap in college football. We will continue to
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: see a terrific parody.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, I think, you know, That's that's again,
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: this is what the government does. It's athletic Marxism. I'm sorry.
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: I'm not going to try to drag you.
• 36:33
  Speaker 9: No, I totally get it. But, you know, and because,
• 36:36
  Speaker 9: you know, baseball's going through this, too, you know, because
• 36:39
  Speaker 9: now they're they're coming up with the plan that December
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: 1st is there is their deadline. for whether the players
• 36:47
  Speaker 9: are going to strike or not with their new bargaining
• 36:53
  Speaker 9: dollars and what they want to do. But now Major
• 36:56
  Speaker 9: League Baseball comes out and says, you know what? Let's
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: wait until 2028. Don't worry about the cap. Let's put
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: things together and give us more time now. But let's
• 37:06
  Speaker 9: go ahead and play for 2027, and we'll leave the
• 37:09
  Speaker 9: cap story for 2028. So we'll find out how the
• 37:13
  Speaker 9: Players Association reacts to that. But they want to, you know,
• 37:17
  Speaker 9: MLB's got a tax thing they're working on, a competitive
• 37:20
  Speaker 9: balance tax that they're working on where proceeds go to players.
• 37:22
  Speaker 9: And there's all kinds of, you know, interesting stuff.
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: And in both cases, it's so silly. So if all
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: the players just got together and barnstormed like the Savannah Bananas,
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: they wouldn't get the crowds that they get. They wouldn't
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: make the money they get. And if the owners went
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: and got, you know, Joe and Mac and some Scorbinis
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: to To go out in New York Yankee uniforms, nobody
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: would show up and watch. So shut up, sit down,
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: understand your role in the world, and just play ball.
• 37:52
  Speaker 16: And move on.
• 37:52
  Speaker 3: And move on. And with that, I can't wait until Thursday.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: So I will see you tomorrow.
• 37:56
  Speaker 1: All right.
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Mac.
• 38:01
  Speaker 13: Can you believe with all the recent violent protests, looting,
• 38:05
  Speaker 13: and destruction, some areas are considering either defunding or abolishing
• 38:09
  Speaker 13: the police? At a time when America's neighborhoods need the
• 38:13
  Speaker 13: protection of police the most, some elected officials would rather
• 38:17
  Speaker 13: create more chaos by playing politics. If you're sick of
• 38:20

• 39:09
  Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 23: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 23: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 23: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 23: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 23: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 23: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 23: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 23: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

  Speaker 23: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 41:18
  Speaker 23: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for

  Speaker 22: you recognize them?
• 42:07
  Speaker 8: By their clothes, their age, the way they speak?
• 42:11
  Speaker 11: Would you notice a 16-year-old boy who.
• 42:13
  Speaker 22: Got his first job, not for extra spending money, but
• 42:17
  Speaker 22: to help feed his little sisters? Or a mother who's
• 42:20
  Speaker 22: in between jobs and sometimes goes to bed hungry so
• 42:23
  Speaker 22: her kids can have dinner? Or a 14 year old
• 42:26
  Speaker 22: girl who signs up to.
• 42:27
  Speaker 5: Every after school activity not to make friends but just
• 42:30

  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: Joining us from the Election Transparency Initiative at the Heritage Foundation,
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: he is the former Director of Homeland Security, Secretary of
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: Homeland Security, and Attorney General for the Commonwealth of Virginia
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: for that. And somewhere he studied engineering as well, so
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: he knows what structure looks like when he sees it.
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: Ken Cuccinelli, Back on with us. How are you doing
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: this morning, Ken? Well, you know, you know, and I
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: said this to my listeners, Ken, that, you know, we've
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: had a lot of mornings together where, you know, elections
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: haven't gone the way you wanted them to or you
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: expected them to. I mean, we've had, you know, really
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: existential mornings like after riots and the death of state
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: troopers and activists in our city. And you know what?
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: We have to keep moving forward because we can't become
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: like Charlie Brown after the spelling bee went sideways and
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: hide in your room with the shades pulled all morning
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: because otherwise that really helps these people win regardless of
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: what voting scheme they use.
• 45:30
  Speaker 1: Yeah, well, the voting schemes do matter, but the permanence,
• 45:37
  Speaker 1: and I don't mean literal permanence, but of losing states
• 45:41
  Speaker 1: like South Carolina and Texas is pretty tough math for
• 45:47
  Speaker 1: the near future. And near future is really the next
• 45:51
  Speaker 1: five or 10 years. So we'll see how everything goes.
• 45:56
  Speaker 1: And also, this is going to radically change 2028 in
• 46:00
  Speaker 1: several ways, including ways that nobody has thought about, such
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: as the fact that the national popular vote will now
• 46:09
  Speaker 1: pass There'll be litigation over it, and we may not
• 46:13
  Speaker 1: have an electoral college contest in 2028. We may have
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: a pure democracy contest for president in 2028.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness. I hadn't even thought about that. That's right.
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: Would the president sign it if they passed it in
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: the House?
• 46:30
  Speaker 1: The president doesn't have a role.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's right. Oh, that's right, because it goes through
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: the states and.
• 46:37
  Speaker 1: Then— Yes. So the states will argue that they don't
• 46:42
  Speaker 1: even need to put it through Congress, that they all
• 46:44
  Speaker 1: just did this under their own laws, that it's not
• 46:48
  Speaker 1: a compact in the usual sense. That'll be litigated. But
• 46:52
  Speaker 1: if it does have to go through Congress, and so
• 46:54
  Speaker 1: you just learned something new from me, here's prediction number one, listeners,
• 46:59
  Speaker 1: that if this has to go through Congress, then that
• 47:03
  Speaker 1: will be the reason the Democrats killed the filibuster. They
• 47:07
  Speaker 1: will kill the filibuster to get the national popular vote
• 47:10
  Speaker 1: because they think it'll give them advantage in 2028. Of course,
• 47:14
  Speaker 1: Trump won the national popular vote in 2024. And that
• 47:19
  Speaker 1: was without trying. I mean, Republicans don't go try to
• 47:25
  Speaker 1: improve their margins in L.A. County. They don't even try.
• 47:28
  Speaker 22: Right.
• 47:29
  Speaker 1: Well, we'll have a whole different campaign in 2028.
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: And that's the thing is we've talked about national popular vote. Ken,
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: you and I have and other folks, there's an entire
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: organization dedicated to trying to stop this and message as
• 47:46
  Speaker 3: to what it actually means. But it's an abdication of
• 47:51
  Speaker 3: Coloradans and Nevadans and Virginians votes because, you know, whoever
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: wins New York, Chicago and L.A., maybe Houston wins. wins
• 48:04
  Speaker 3: because that's going to be, you know, where the nexus
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: of all these votes are. There's just not enough. Even
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: if you look at these maps that I think was
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: at 2024 and it's massive, the United States of all
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: these red counties and these little blue dots along where
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: the coastline and these big cities are, but that's enough
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: population to undo all of those counties in the United States.
• 48:31
  Speaker 22: Right, right.
• 48:33
  Speaker 3: What is even the role of having states at that point?
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, not to get really weird, but you and
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: I sometimes have these kind of existential conversations. I mean,
• 48:43
  Speaker 3: you know, it's at some point then if we're not
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: going to have an electoral college, why even bother having states?
• 48:50
  Speaker 1: Well, that is the organization that exists to fight national
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: popular vote is called Save Our States.
• 48:57
  Speaker 2: Ironically.
• 49:00
  Speaker 1: Well, no, that's you know, that wasn't accidental. It was
• 49:03
  Speaker 1: the Electoral College is part of state sovereignty.
• 49:07
  Speaker 21: Right.
• 49:07
  Speaker 1: And part of the progressive project has been to eliminate
• 49:13
  Speaker 1: the foundational constitutional principles and state sovereignty is among them.
• 49:20
  Speaker 1: And the national popular vote is part of that, just
• 49:23
  Speaker 1: like popular election of U.S. senators is part of that
• 49:27
  Speaker 1: from 100 years ago.
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: And the 1929 Permanent Reapportionment Act as well, and now
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: ranked choice voting. I wanted to touch on a Our
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: friends listening on KFAR and Fairbanks, you said to me
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: in the green room, it's going to be a while
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: before anyone knows who Alaska's senator is going to be.
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: And as if Mary Pitola wanted it, the other Dan Sullivan,
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: who apparently hasn't been seen in Alaska for a week
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: and a half, got 1.7 percent of the vote, which
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: is enough to keep the original Dan Sullivan out. uh,
• 50:06
  Speaker 3: from over 50%, which will trigger it into RCV, right?
• 50:11
  Speaker 9: Yes.
• 50:12
  Speaker 1: So let's be candid. Mary Peltola's, um, dirty tricks are working. Um, it's, it's,
• 50:22
  Speaker 1: it is painful to see crime pay. Um, And you
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: know it's bad when the New York Times is breaking
• 50:30
  Speaker 1: the story on the Democrats, so there may actually be
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: criminal activity here. Though I'm not suggesting that it was
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: necessarily by Mary Peltola, but that is entirely possible here.
• 50:40
  Speaker 1: And we'll see. We'll see. I know as a former prosecutor,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: it takes forever to get through those investigations.
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: And what is evidence?
• 50:50
  Speaker 22: Yeah.
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: Well, in New York, you have to understand, they live
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: in the swamp of it. They have Zorhan Mamdani because
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: of ranked choice voting.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Yes, and they also took, what, two to four weeks
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: to count their primary vote. And California will take three weeks.
• 51:15
  Speaker 1: Alaska will take a couple of weeks. And especially when
• 51:20
  Speaker 1: you get... When you get to something like national popular vote,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: the outcome of yours and my election from Virginia depends
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: in part on what goes on in California. So when
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: they say, well, this is our state, it's no business
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: of yours whether we have voter ID. Well, now it is.
• 51:41
  Speaker 16: Now it is.
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: And that's going to be a changing landscape here.
• 51:46
  Speaker 3: You bring up something that's precedential. In Virginia, we passed
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: two laws that will criminalize even trying to intercede and saying, hey,
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: have you thought this through? Maybe you want to sit
• 51:55
  Speaker 3: down and talk to somebody about something like abortion. Could
• 51:59
  Speaker 3: the same be true if we get into a place
• 52:01
  Speaker 3: of national popular vote where even suggesting voter ID, even
• 52:06
  Speaker 3: asking for ID becomes something that could have a crime
• 52:10
  Speaker 3: charged at the end of it?
• 52:13
  Speaker 1: Well, you'll recall H.R. 1 back in 2021. And the
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: Democrats tried to do exactly that. They created a new
• 52:22
  Speaker 1: crime and it was so vaguely worded. The idea was
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: to scare off officials from keeping their voter rolls clean.
• 52:31
  Speaker 1: But the, the short answer is yes, that can absolutely happen. Absolutely.
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: It's, it's a bizarre world, Ken. And it's, and I,
• 52:41
  Speaker 3: I worry about some of these folks who might find
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: themselves with some very upset voters when it doesn't deliver
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: what they think it will.
• 52:51
  Speaker 18: You know, it's true.
• 52:52
  Speaker 17: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
• 52:55
  Speaker 17: to think about what matters most when it comes to
• 52:57
  Speaker 17: our spending, our healthcare. This is why so many people
• 53:00
  Speaker 17: are joining MediShare right now. MediShare is a trusted way
• 53:05
  Speaker 17: to save up to 50% on your monthly healthcare costs.
• 53:08
  Speaker 17: More than 400,000 people have already made the switch. It's
• 53:11
  Speaker 17: pretty obvious why, too, especially now during this challenging season
• 53:16
  Speaker 17: with health care costs and out-of-pocket expenses going up. MediShare
• 53:19
  Speaker 17: can save you a lot of money. The typical family
• 53:22
  Speaker 17: saves $ 500 a month.
