- 0:37Speaker 2: wins for the left in this cycle. Was it the
- 0:41Speaker 2: referendum that some of the media outlets and folks on
- 0:44Speaker 2: the left wanted to make this into I don't think so,

- 2:23Speaker 2: we definitely had an election day, and a lot of
- 2:29Speaker 2: the news seems to be this focus on New York City,
- 2:33Speaker 2: but there was more to this mayoral race in New
- 2:36Speaker 2: York City in so many ways, and there was more
- 2:41Speaker 2: going on than the New York City mayoral race. So
- 2:45Speaker 2: I just want to address a few of the things
- 2:48Speaker 2: that happened this week, because yes, we had two significant
- 2:56Speaker 2: governor's races that. I don't know that we can really
- 3:02Speaker 2: say this is the referendum that many on the left
- 3:04Speaker 2: want it to be. It's certainly there was an exclamation
- 3:08Speaker 2: point to be had for one of them. I think Virginia,
- 3:10Speaker 2: which is you know, kind of been a little more
- 3:14Speaker 2: blue and red, you know, it was in that purple range,
- 3:18Speaker 2: but a little more of a bluish purple. And then
- 3:22Speaker 2: obviously Glenn Younkin becomes the governor there and suddenly it's like, well,
- 3:26Speaker 2: wait a minute, how much more red is Virginia than
- 3:31Speaker 2: we thought? And then we had this governor's race and
- 3:37Speaker 2: the Democrats take the governor's house back in this election.
- 3:44Speaker 2: I don't think it's a huge shock. There is some
- 3:46Speaker 2: significant consequence to it. But I think when you start
- 3:49Speaker 2: looking at some of the jobs that were affected by
- 3:52Speaker 2: Doge in the regions of Virginia that are you know,
- 3:55Speaker 2: in the Washington area and this kind of thing, it's
- 3:59Speaker 2: not a huge shock that a Democrat is going to
- 4:04Speaker 2: be the next governor of Virginia. Again, that's not a
- 4:09Speaker 2: huge shock. It's a bigger shock that the attorney general
- 4:12Speaker 2: who you know, fantasized about murdering a political opponent, and
- 4:17Speaker 2: that political opponent's children and I don't know, urinating on
- 4:21Speaker 2: their graves or whatever it was he said. It was horrible.
- 4:25Speaker 2: Whatever he said was terrible, and yet it was not
- 4:29Speaker 2: enough to make people go, we don't want this guy
- 4:31Speaker 2: to be the top law enforcement person in our state.
- 4:34Speaker 2: That's it's It's fine, no big deal. He was probably kidding, maybe,
- 4:40Speaker 2: even though he did sort of follow those comments up
- 4:43Speaker 2: with that's the only way to get Republicans' attention is
- 4:46Speaker 2: by you know, hurting or killing their kids. I think
- 4:48Speaker 2: that was part of the statement, right, So, I don't
- 4:51Speaker 2: know that part is surprising to me, But the fact
- 4:55Speaker 2: that he won isn't a big surprise. And I don't
- 4:58Speaker 2: know that there's any referendum to be had for a
- 5:01Speaker 2: Democrat winning in New Jersey. Is this a big shock?
- 5:06Speaker 2: I mean, it's again, these are states where it could
- 5:10Speaker 2: go either way. I think there were some people who
- 5:14Speaker 2: thought maybe the polls were actually closer than they were,
- 5:17Speaker 2: and then they weren't. They were kind of exactly where
- 5:20Speaker 2: maybe there's a little bit of you know, reinforcement to
- 5:24Speaker 2: the old school polling. I don't know, I mean, maybe
- 5:28Speaker 2: maybe that's what we've learned through all of this. I
- 5:30Speaker 2: don't know, but on to New York, and I think
- 5:34Speaker 2: the well, now before we get to New York, California,
- 5:37Speaker 2: the handing things away from the independent group that would
- 5:42Speaker 2: decide the redistricting there, and then you have Gavin Newsom, who,
- 5:46Speaker 2: by the way, is now I don't want to be president.
- 5:48Speaker 2: I don't even want and we're supposed to pretend that
- 5:52Speaker 2: he didn't say it when later he decides to run
- 5:54Speaker 2: for president. But it's going to hand things over to
- 5:56Speaker 2: Democrats where they can do some redistricting and jerry mander
- 6:00Speaker 2: the way that only Democrats can do and try to
- 6:03Speaker 2: save some of the seats that they were worried about
- 6:06Speaker 2: losing in Texas, where Texas is just trying to kind
- 6:09Speaker 2: of course correct things where there has been a lot
- 6:12Speaker 2: of people that have settled with new immigration coming into Texas.
- 6:16Speaker 2: So anyway, there'll be more coming from New York, though
- 6:20Speaker 2: maybe as many as a million. But we're still going
- 6:22Speaker 2: to get to that in a minute. So that wasn't
- 6:24Speaker 2: I think a huge shock either that that passed. That's something,
- 6:28Speaker 2: of course that California is going to do, and you know,
- 6:33Speaker 2: it is what it is. Another is what it is
- 6:35Speaker 2: is this race in New York. We had a very
- 6:38Speaker 2: charismatic person, a guy with a lot of sizzle and appeal,
- 6:43Speaker 2: and made a lot of promises that there's no way
- 6:46Speaker 2: that he can keep them all. A handful of things
- 6:48Speaker 2: that he can actually do are only going to make
- 6:51Speaker 2: things worse for the people in New York City. And
- 6:55Speaker 2: he's going to be the mayor. He's not going to
- 6:57Speaker 2: be you know, he's not the governor. He's not able
- 7:02Speaker 2: to run for president. He's not an American citizen, natural born,
- 7:07Speaker 2: he doesn't qualify to run for president. He doesn't even admit,
- 7:10Speaker 2: like according to his mom, he doesn't. He's not an
- 7:13Speaker 2: American mentally. That's not how he thinks of himself. He
- 7:17Speaker 2: thinks of himself as Uganda, an Indian, and not as
- 7:21Speaker 2: an American. And he doesn't like capitalism. He has issues
- 7:24Speaker 2: with it, and he is ready to push socialism. I
- 7:28Speaker 2: would say his version of it is communism, but I
- 7:31Speaker 2: understand we're going to call it what it is. He
- 7:33Speaker 2: says he's a democratic socialist. So I've heard a few
- 7:38Speaker 2: takes on this that I thought were very interesting, and
- 7:43Speaker 2: I did find it weird that we were in a
- 7:48Speaker 2: position where, you know, President Trump was asking Republicans in
- 7:53Speaker 2: New York City to vote for Cuomo. And that is
- 7:59Speaker 2: you know, I get it. From a strategic standpoint, it
- 8:03Speaker 2: becomes a bit of a scary thing. It becomes a
- 8:06Speaker 2: very slippery slope when you start doing that sort of thing,
- 8:09Speaker 2: because that's what leads to you know, you look at
- 8:13Speaker 2: like you know, you go to the UK, you go
- 8:16Speaker 2: to England and you say, all right, well, their liberal
- 8:19Speaker 2: party is their conservative party because that's how far it
- 8:24Speaker 2: is pushed to the left. And that's true in many places.
- 8:30Speaker 2: So that's a concern, that's something that we should be
- 8:36Speaker 2: concerned about. And we put ourselves in a position where
- 8:39Speaker 2: we're trying to vote for a Democrat who is, you know,
- 8:46Speaker 2: more left of center, certainly more of a centrist, and
- 8:50Speaker 2: you know, the people of New York City said, loud
- 8:52Speaker 2: and clear, that's not what we want. We want the
- 8:54Speaker 2: person promising us free things. So yeah, it would be
- 9:00Speaker 2: very hard for me to go in and place that
- 9:03Speaker 2: vote if I lived in New York City. But knowing
- 9:06Speaker 2: what was at stake, and knowing that I would probably
- 9:09Speaker 2: end up having to leave New York City, I guess
- 9:12Speaker 2: I would maybe have to, you know, hold my nose
- 9:15Speaker 2: and do it. It's just a it's a big ask
- 9:18Speaker 2: for anyone to do so. I've heard as many as
- 9:24Speaker 2: a million people expected to leave New York once he
- 9:27Speaker 2: becomes the mayor, and once he starts doing his thing,
- 9:32Speaker 2: once he starts socializing it up, once he starts communisting it.
- 9:36Speaker 2: I don't know that's not the right verb, but you
- 9:38Speaker 2: know what I mean. As his changes start to try
- 9:41Speaker 2: and I think some of the changes he's promised aren't
- 9:43Speaker 2: even things he can do. We see this all the time.
- 9:46Speaker 2: I'm gonna, you know, forgive student debt, and you're not
- 9:49Speaker 2: gonna have to pay back your loans and what I
- 9:51Speaker 2: can't do that? Oh sorry, I tried. They're not gonna
- 9:54Speaker 2: let me do that. I think we're gonna get a
- 9:56Speaker 2: lot of that. I think we're going to see many
- 9:59Speaker 2: failures of things that he's promised and that he hopes
- 10:01Speaker 2: to do. It's the you know, pizza every day for
- 10:04Speaker 2: lunch and no homework promises that you get from a
- 10:07Speaker 2: kid that is running for school president. And he makes
- 10:11Speaker 2: all these wild promises and he hands out you know,
- 10:14Speaker 2: blow pops or she hands out blowpops on election day
- 10:17Speaker 2: and people go, I'm over the one that gave me
- 10:19Speaker 2: the blowpop. And you know, in the end, they can't
- 10:23Speaker 2: do any of the things that they promised. And that's
- 10:24Speaker 2: really what New York City has to look forward to.
- 10:28Speaker 2: Another great take I've seen on all of this is
- 10:30Speaker 2: just this basic idea that you know, we need this
- 10:34Speaker 2: communist socialist reminder. We periodically have to have this reminder
- 10:41Speaker 2: that this doesn't work and it's never worked in the
- 10:44Speaker 2: history of human civilization where it made things better for everyone.
- 10:49Speaker 2: Does it make things better for a small group of people?
- 10:52Speaker 1: Sure?
- 10:53Speaker 2: Does it lead to you know, Detroit? Yeah, it does?
- 11:00Speaker 2: And does Detroit of you know, the past years, this
- 11:06Speaker 2: is in the last decades. Was Detroit a place that
- 11:09Speaker 2: you we go, Man, this is what we need, This
- 11:12Speaker 2: is what everybody needs. This is a great, wonderful place.
- 11:16Speaker 2: Or does it lead to you know, significant problems? Does
- 11:22Speaker 2: it lead to wealthy people being overtaxed and getting out
- 11:27Speaker 2: of New York City?
- 11:28Speaker 1: Of course it will.
- 11:30Speaker 2: If you think that there are not already CEOs and
- 11:34Speaker 2: companies going, well, that's it. We're out Florida or Texas. Guys,
- 11:39Speaker 2: where are we going? Maybe Tennessee. Let's go to a
- 11:42Speaker 2: place it doesn't have income tax. Let's do it. Let's
- 11:45Speaker 2: get out of here, and it's it's already happened. It's
- 11:50Speaker 2: already happened so many times, many of them from California
- 11:54Speaker 2: looking for a place where things just made more sense
- 11:57Speaker 2: for them. So that's coming. Don't kid yourself. Hey, Georgia
- 12:02Speaker 2: is not a bad Come on, we need you, we
- 12:04Speaker 2: want you in Georgia. Come to Georgia, especially if you're
- 12:07Speaker 2: one of those people in New York that's producing TV
- 12:12Speaker 2: shows and movies. Come on to Georgia. That's where we
- 12:14Speaker 2: want you. So yeah, this idea, this notion that this
- 12:20Speaker 2: is just going to be that reminder that this doesn't work.
- 12:24Speaker 2: And it was allowed if there was a referendum at
- 12:27Speaker 2: all on Tuesday. It was letting the Democrat Party know
- 12:33Speaker 2: if you're a centrist and that is your party of choice,
- 12:37Speaker 2: they don't want you anymore. There are so many people
- 12:41Speaker 2: in the party now and the far extreme far left.
- 12:44Speaker 2: It's more divided than they wanted you to think. And
- 12:47Speaker 2: if you think the days of nominating someone like Cuomo,
- 12:51Speaker 2: who is an actual moderate, if you think someone like Shapiro,
- 12:55Speaker 2: who is much more of a moderate than I don't know,
- 12:59Speaker 2: the social lists, then the extreme far left then you
- 13:03Speaker 2: better believe you're gonna have a hard time finding enough
- 13:08Speaker 2: people to support that candidate. It's gonna be tough. Shapiro
- 13:13Speaker 2: could make a great candidate. I just don't know that
- 13:16Speaker 2: Democrats can figure it out. I don't know that they
- 13:18Speaker 2: can put that together. And honestly, I don't know that
- 13:21Speaker 2: they also made it loud and clear that someone who
- 13:24Speaker 2: not a big fan of Jewish people is going to
- 13:26Speaker 2: be governor of New York. So I don't know is
- 13:28Speaker 2: Shapiro someone As a reason Shapiro wasn't the VP pick
- 13:32Speaker 2: for Kamala Harris, not by Harris, by whoever made the
- 13:36Speaker 2: decisions for her, it's because he's Jewish. Let's be honest here.
- 13:41Speaker 2: Let's be honest about how someone set the governor's mansion
- 13:46Speaker 2: at you know, Shapiro's home asleep and they set it
- 13:48Speaker 2: on fire in Pennsylvania, and how much news coverage did
- 13:52Speaker 2: it get. Because we're in this Palestine, you know, anti
- 13:56Speaker 2: Semitic phase in America where we don't really know what
- 14:00Speaker 2: we're supposed to say. I'm talking about people on the left.
- 14:03Speaker 2: People on the right knew what they were supposed to say.
- 14:05Speaker 2: I don't know. There's some people on the right that
- 14:07Speaker 2: don't really know how to handle that, don't know how
- 14:09Speaker 2: to talk about it either. So that's the referendum more
- 14:14Speaker 2: so than Okay, two purple states that you know, kind
- 14:19Speaker 2: of lean blue anyway ended up with blue governors. That's
- 14:24Speaker 2: not a shock. That's not an exclamation point of any kind.
- 14:28Speaker 2: It's not like we're talking about, you know, Alabama didn't
- 14:31Speaker 2: go blue. That would be a that would be a reference.
- 14:34Speaker 2: It would be like, Wow, I can't believe that this
- 14:37Speaker 2: actually happened. This is crazy. How did this happen? You
- 14:40Speaker 2: want to talk about public service commissioned seats in Georgia
- 14:43Speaker 2: meaning something. Look, there was so much press about how
- 14:48Speaker 2: bad they were and about all the fact that prices
- 14:51Speaker 2: went up. Look at the previous administration and get an
- 14:55Speaker 2: idea about why the cost of so many things utilities
- 15:00Speaker 2: went up in the last five years. Talk about that.
- 15:03Speaker 2: But you know, people hear it and they go, well,
- 15:06Speaker 2: this is important. We got to get out there and vote.
- 15:08Speaker 2: And they did a good job in Georgia getting out
- 15:10Speaker 2: the vote for that. To change those seats, to flip
- 15:14Speaker 2: those seats, is that a referendum at as a stretch,
- 15:20Speaker 2: that's a stretch. I think the only real solid exclamation
- 15:25Speaker 2: point anybody could really, honestly, sincerely take away from election
- 15:31Speaker 2: day is the fact that we did see so many
- 15:37Speaker 2: people in New York City voting for a mayor that
- 15:43Speaker 2: is not going to be able to deliver, and he's
- 15:45Speaker 2: got extreme views, and people don't seem to care whether
- 15:49Speaker 2: he can deliver or not. They just like the message. Well,
- 15:51Speaker 2: the holidays are fast approaching, and we all have someone
- 15:55Speaker 2: in our life, maybe more than one, someone in our
- 15:58Speaker 2: life that's really tough to shop for. Well, how about
- 16:01Speaker 2: the gift of peace of mind. We know that emergencies
- 16:05Speaker 2: can strike at any time, and being prepared. Is that

- 16:12Speaker 2: to give someone this holiday season. And prep starts now

- 20:09Speaker 2: when your garage door opens and closes. Maybe it's some
- 20:12Speaker 2: sort of insulation issue that you've got with colder or
- 20:15Speaker 2: warmer weather, sometimes that stuff gets in and it's inconvenient.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Maybe you're looking at a situation where you'd like to
- 20:21Speaker 2: add a screen door to your garage door system that
- 20:25Speaker 2: you can put down and you can use your garage
- 20:27Speaker 2: space as a sort of outdoor but indoor. You know,
- 20:31Speaker 2: if you like to work on your own cars in there,
- 20:33Speaker 2: or maybe you just want a little man cavid you'd
- 20:36Speaker 2: like to be able to open the door up and
- 20:37Speaker 2: not invite all the insects in. They can do that
- 20:40Speaker 2: for you as well, and again they do after hours calls.
- 20:43Speaker 2: There's nothing worse than that thought of having your car
- 20:46Speaker 2: trapped inside your garage and your garage door won't open
- 20:49Speaker 2: and you need somebody to come help, And they do
- 20:52Speaker 2: those as well. Seven oh sixty five eight forty five hundred,

- 21:03Speaker 2: Right after the break, Well, there's a new kind of
- 21:14Speaker 2: catfishing that's happening. This isn't one where you pretend to
- 21:19Speaker 2: be a person that you're completely not, but it's similar enough.
- 21:24Speaker 2: It's a type of financial catfishing. A recent Credit One
- 21:29Speaker 2: Bank survey found fifty one percent of Gen Z and
- 21:32Speaker 2: millennials confess to lying about their wealth to appear more successful.
- 21:37Speaker 2: Thirty seven percent said that they would go into debt
- 21:41Speaker 2: or overdraft just to impress a date. Men in particular
- 21:45Speaker 2: tend to take bigger financial risks for romance. Forty six
- 21:49Speaker 2: percent said they would overdraft to impress the date, compared
- 21:52Speaker 2: to twenty eight percent of women. Maybe that's why credit
- 21:55Speaker 2: scores have become new dating credentials. Over fifty percent say
- 21:59Speaker 2: high credit scores make someone more attractive, and about one
- 22:04Speaker 2: in five wish dating apps would show credit ratings a
- 22:10Speaker 2: few things to process there. I think this is nothing new.
- 22:15Speaker 2: It's just interesting that people are talking about it, or
- 22:18Speaker 2: that someone actually took a minute to ask people about it.
- 22:22Speaker 2: This isn't anything overly new or drastically different. But this
- 22:26Speaker 2: idea of your credit score being on your dating app,
- 22:29Speaker 2: I don't expect that to come anytime soon.
- 22:32Speaker 1: Now.
- 22:33Speaker 2: If your credit score is high, you probably would want
- 22:36Speaker 2: it there. However, the people that it's not very high
- 22:43Speaker 2: would certainly not want to do that. I don't know
- 22:45Speaker 2: that they would be on a dating app that was
- 22:47Speaker 2: right there for God and everybody to see that's what
- 22:50Speaker 2: I'm thinking. If you are hosting for Thanksgiving this year,
- 22:55Speaker 2: you need hosting pants. Butterball has already open up it's

- 24:02Speaker 2: There's no we learned about hoarding during COVID, we don't
- 24:05Speaker 2: need to hoard them. Amazon is offering a complete Thanksgiving
- 24:09Speaker 2: meal to feed five people for just twenty five dollars.

- 24:53Speaker 2: comfortable Thanksgiving hosting pants, but just know those are some
- 24:57Speaker 2: options if you're looking for a discount version of hosting
- 25:02Speaker 2: Thanksgiving this year. The latest wellness trend is called great
- 25:06Speaker 2: lock INDs it's all about hitting the reset button before
- 25:09Speaker 2: the holiday chaos arrives. We talked about another version of this.
- 25:13Speaker 2: I think a couple of weeks ago. So the idea
- 25:15Speaker 2: is that you pick a handful of simple, realistic goals,
- 25:18Speaker 2: like fifteen to twenty minute morning walks, eating a healthy breakfast,
- 25:22Speaker 2: writing in a gratitude journal, adding an extra serving of
- 25:26Speaker 2: veggies to each meal, and then tracking them on a
- 25:29Speaker 2: weekly checklist. Instead of the all or nothing approach to
- 25:31Speaker 2: New Year's resolutions, this trend is about starting small, building
- 25:35Speaker 2: better habits before the new year gets here. I think
- 25:37Speaker 2: this is a slightly different version of the one that
- 25:40Speaker 2: we already talked about. Many people are treating the shower
- 25:46Speaker 2: like it's a daily spa treatment these days, often spending
- 25:49Speaker 2: as much as an hour in there, washing, shaving, and
- 25:51Speaker 2: just relaxing in the hot water. It's a trend called
- 25:54Speaker 2: the everything shower that started on social media. But dermatologists
- 25:59Speaker 2: are warning it's way too long to be in the
- 26:01Speaker 2: shower and that is not good for you. It's also
- 26:04Speaker 2: not good for the water bill over Washing can cause redness, dryness, itching,
- 26:08Speaker 2: it can damage your skin barrier. It actually can make
- 26:11Speaker 2: your skin look prematurely old. It's also bad for the environment.
- 26:16Speaker 2: Don't want to use too much water, especially in those
- 26:19Speaker 2: drought stricken areas, so taking a thirty to forty five
- 26:22Speaker 2: minute shower uses up seventy five to one hundred and
- 26:25Speaker 2: ten gallons of water. It's also significantly raising your water bill.
- 26:29Speaker 2: The average shower in the US just short of eight minutes,
- 26:32Speaker 2: uses about fifteen point eight gallons of water. Experts say
- 26:36Speaker 2: the ideal duration of a shower to sufficiently clean yourself
- 26:40Speaker 2: in an efficient manner is no more than five to
- 26:43Speaker 2: ten minutes. I hate that. It's when it says no
- 26:46Speaker 2: more than five to ten minutes, then you should say
- 26:48Speaker 2: no more than ten minutes. You don't need to save
- 26:51Speaker 2: the minimum number. No more than ten minutes is all
- 26:55Speaker 2: it needs to say. Let's talk about bedding. Let's talk
