  Speaker 7: Wilson Fairchild out of here in Central Virginia. The American
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: Songbook is the album just came out there, and guys,
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: you know a lot of tracks I love I have
• 1:27
  Speaker 7: not heard and I've been saving it because Amazing Grace
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: is one of my favorite songs ever. And I always
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: kind of go back and forth, what what version of
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: my interested in hearing of it? Of Scottish descent, as
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: many Hillbillies are, that's where the name comes from.
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: We are too.
• 1:49
  Speaker 8: Well.
• 1:50
  Speaker 4: They were all named William.
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: At some point or another Williams. So I haven't listened
• 1:57
  Speaker 7: to your amazing grace yet. I can imagine it's going
• 2:01
  Speaker 7: to be goose bump bringing uh there? And did were
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: there any songs either you didn't have space for or
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: you weren't sure about yet that you said maybe we'll
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: save this for American Songbook two or you know that
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: are just you know, too special to share yet and
• 2:22
  Speaker 7: you had to figure them out.
• 2:24
  Speaker 9: You know, I'll say that that process, it's a fun process.
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: Starting with the big list is what we call it,
• 2:30
  Speaker 9: and it's you know, he will takes you know, you know,
• 2:33
  Speaker 9: listens down while he's driving this truck and if he
• 2:35
  Speaker 9: hears a song and think, hey, that'd be fun to do,
• 2:37
  Speaker 9: we might be able to do this. Let's consider that
• 2:39
  Speaker 9: I do the same thing. So we got the big
• 2:41
  Speaker 9: list and then you start pairing it down and we
• 2:45
  Speaker 9: really agree on some We're like, okay, those are definites.
• 2:48
  Speaker 9: And then when we talked to our producers, Michael Sykes
• 2:50
  Speaker 9: and Johnny Minnick and Nashville. Uh, those guys way in
• 2:54
  Speaker 9: a lot on the process also, and and and how
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: we get to the final music and of course the
• 2:59
  Speaker 9: arrangements and all that and uh and then talking to
• 3:02
  Speaker 9: you know, the record label. So everybody's kind of throwing
• 3:05
  Speaker 9: in their two cents along the way. And uh, so
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: that big list comes down to, you know, all right,
• 3:10
  Speaker 9: what what's the final goal here? How many can we do?
• 3:13
  Speaker 9: And uh And I was going to say that is
• 3:15
  Speaker 9: that's a fun process, but can also be very challenging
• 3:18
  Speaker 9: and uh and even there, I say frustrating at times
• 3:21
  Speaker 9: because you're thinking, man, I really want to do this song,
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: but we don't have roomm for it. And you know
• 3:26
  Speaker 9: what else I'd really like to do this song? Well,
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: if we really, if we did all the songs that
• 3:30
  Speaker 9: we would really like to do, you know, we'd have
• 3:32
  Speaker 9: one hundred and eighty five songs on the project of
• 3:35
  Speaker 9: a concert.
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: Right there, I'm telling you, So you got to stop something.
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: In short, You're right, there's always more songs on the list.
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: And speaking of putting these together, I just remember when
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: you were saying that.
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: So here it is just for a little bit here
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: before we get into our first thing.

• 15:15
  Speaker 9: we all we all know that you know, clap handclapping,
• 15:17
  Speaker 9: chorus can sing along with it, but you really get
• 15:20
  Speaker 9: into the verses.
• 15:21
  Speaker 23: Uh.
• 15:21

  Speaker 7: a gospel song. And and you don't think of them
• 15:54

  Speaker 7: the zeitgeist.

• 29:16
  Speaker 30: uh Jeene, Tennis, Vita Blue, all these guys went through
• 29:19
  Speaker 30: Des Moines, right, So I became a diehard A's fan,
• 29:22
  Speaker 30: diehard A's fan, and just because of the Oakland connection,
• 29:25
  Speaker 30: I guess I just fell in love with the Raiders.
• 29:28
  Speaker 30: And then a left handed quarterback made all, you know,
• 29:30
  Speaker 30: because you had Almanica and then you had Kenny Stabler.
• 29:33
  Speaker 4: And then that was all she wrote with me.
• 29:35
  Speaker 30: The silver and black was just it just obviously young kid,
• 29:37
  Speaker 30: just you know, it enamored me.

• 30:05
  Speaker 30: became the lead parade guy for the Dogwood Festival. He
• 30:12

• 30:35
  Speaker 30: director of athletics. He is the second longest tenured athletics

  Speaker 30: role in the university president and the new ad So
• 31:05
  Speaker 30: what Virginia Tech is doing? The donors got together and
• 31:08
  Speaker 30: I'll I'll source that in just a minute. But a
• 31:11
  Speaker 30: lot of donors said, look for ever since the Justin
• 31:14
  Speaker 30: Fauente mess, a couple of fundraising efforts that fell short,
• 31:19
  Speaker 30: you know, it's time that we that we make a
• 31:21
  Speaker 30: move now. One of the things that Babcock always fought
• 31:24
  Speaker 30: was telling the media we are on the right track
• 31:27
  Speaker 30: and we are fundraising and putting things in place. Oh sorry,
• 31:32
  Speaker 30: my bad, Oh I forgot to share my bad.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Let me go here and hear more windows issues. I
• 31:39
  Speaker 4: was just getting ramped up. I had a I had
• 31:41
  Speaker 4: a music player.
• 31:42
  Speaker 7: We were talking to Wilson Fairchild, the read kids, you know,
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: and and they sent me a player and I was
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: just having all sorts of problems with it.
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: Here and they're like, well this was made for mac,
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: you know. Joe not you, but anyway, you got it.
• 31:57
  Speaker 31: Officially, Yeah, here we go, laid out a play for
• 32:00
  Speaker 31: the direction, the infrastructure, the recruiting, what we were gonna
• 32:05
  Speaker 31: do this, that and the other, and and we had
• 32:07
  Speaker 31: some people step up, around fifteen to twenty people to
• 32:10
  Speaker 31: the tune of around twelve and a half million dollars
• 32:12
  Speaker 31: over the next five years. We also believe we can
• 32:15
  Speaker 31: get some help from the university. And when I say that,
• 32:18
  Speaker 31: that is not on the backs of student fees and tuition,
• 32:21
  Speaker 31: but the university's committed to help. We're going to be
• 32:25
  Speaker 31: in a good spot.
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: We're gonna be okay money.
• 32:27
  Speaker 31: I really love working here, and it's gonna be okay.
• 32:30
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 32:30
  Speaker 30: And so then he had he ran up the other
• 32:33
  Speaker 30: big initiative where they're starting to you know, raise money
• 32:35
  Speaker 30: and really put you know, with the the NCAA changes
• 32:40
  Speaker 30: and all the money coming to Virginia Tech, I mean,
• 32:42
  Speaker 30: you know, trying to get people. And they had to
• 32:44
  Speaker 30: fire Brent Prye and then brought in James Franklin, which
• 32:47
  Speaker 30: was a win win actually.
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So he did that. He got a feel for
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: it because I worked with Bud.
• 32:52
  Speaker 30: Bud had a lot to do with that company.
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and you can't tell me so, Joe So.
• 32:58
  Speaker 30: Chris Coleman is a lead and listening columnist for tech

• 33:08
  Speaker 30: great podcast. They always have David teel On, who's one
• 33:11
  Speaker 30: of the wonderful writers in Virginia. But anyway, Chris Coleman
• 33:14
  Speaker 30: spelled it out right after it happened.
• 33:16
  Speaker 32: When you have a fundraiser who's never fundraised, you have
• 33:20
  Speaker 32: an athletic director who's not never been good at communication,
• 33:23
  Speaker 32: you know, none of that stuff got done like it
• 33:25
  Speaker 32: was supposed to get done. And I've heard, I heard
• 33:28
  Speaker 32: a group of big donors got finally got fed up
• 33:30
  Speaker 32: with it and sort of presented an ultimatum. And as
• 33:34
  Speaker 32: we've seen the last few weeks, this is the result
• 33:37
  Speaker 32: of that. Tim Sands announced us his retirement. It's announced
• 33:42
  Speaker 32: that Danny White gets promoted but will not no longer
• 33:45
  Speaker 32: be head of the hockey club. And they're going to
• 33:46
  Speaker 32: hire a professional fundraiser for that role. And now what
• 33:49
  Speaker 32: Bapak is going to retire at the end of the season.
• 33:52
  Speaker 32: And that's all a result of the big donors, you know,
• 33:55
  Speaker 32: being unhappy yeah.
• 33:56
  Speaker 30: So the big donors tell you know, and with Tim Sands,
• 34:00
  Speaker 30: you know, you'd really have to do a lot of investigating,
• 34:02
  Speaker 30: you know, because the president resigns, steps down, now you're
• 34:05
  Speaker 30: athletic director steps down. They also make a move with
• 34:08
  Speaker 30: their their lead fundraiser and Danny White and with a
• 34:12
  Speaker 30: hockey club, and so they're making all kinds of moves.
• 34:15
  Speaker 30: Now my close to home because you talk about him
• 34:18
  Speaker 30: every morning, uh, and talking about Bud Foster and his
• 34:22
  Speaker 30: lunch Pale Foundation, Defense the Defense Foundation. He is in.
• 34:27
  Speaker 4: A good play.
• 34:28
  Speaker 30: He just signed a new contract and Bud won't mind
• 34:30
  Speaker 30: me telling people that. But and he has been a major,
• 34:33
  Speaker 30: major player ever since Bud has stepped into his role.
• 34:36
  Speaker 30: And then when he got put on the committee and
• 34:39
  Speaker 30: they had to say, let's, you know, let's find us
• 34:41
  Speaker 30: a football coach. He had everything in the world to
• 34:43
  Speaker 30: do with getting James Franklin, and he, you know, he
• 34:46
  Speaker 30: he stepped up, told the committee they were trying to
• 34:49
  Speaker 30: kind of strong arm Franklin. They were going to lose him,
• 34:52
  Speaker 30: if you know. Bud doesn't make the move and goes
• 34:54
  Speaker 30: to his house and has a bowl of pasta and says, now, Jay,
• 34:56
  Speaker 30: are you coming for sure. Anyway, it's a it's a
• 34:59
  Speaker 30: good story that we had on Foster and Friends. But anyway,
• 35:03
  Speaker 30: Babcock retires before we even before we record, I mean
• 35:07
  Speaker 30: after we recorded Foster and Friends. So anyway, we'll be apart,
• 35:10
  Speaker 30: but we'll stay with it. Next week we'll have uh, we'll
• 35:13
  Speaker 30: have Born. I'll probably try to get Butt on Monday,
• 35:16
  Speaker 30: and just having him spend some time with us because
• 35:18
  Speaker 30: he I'm sure we'll be in position to talk about
• 35:21
  Speaker 30: it a real quick with the draft, a lot of
• 35:23
  Speaker 30: you know, the Jets after the first three it was
• 35:27
  Speaker 30: Ohio State show four picks in the top eleven, third
• 35:30
  Speaker 30: school in history to do that. And Tys Simpson the
• 35:34
  Speaker 30: Alabama QB. He was predicted to go in the second round,
• 35:37
  Speaker 30: but now he went number thirteen to the Rams.
• 35:40
  Speaker 33: My dad, you know, he helped me along the way
• 35:42
  Speaker 33: and everything possible from sending meetings to quarterback drills. No
• 35:46
  Speaker 33: shout out ut Martin and everything they've done for me
• 35:48
  Speaker 33: as well. Yeah, I mean two of the greatest minds
• 35:50
  Speaker 33: in you know, offense, especially with you know, coach McVeigh
• 35:52
  Speaker 33: and the quarterback offensive standpoint. And then you know Matthew
• 35:56
  Speaker 33: is one of the greatest of all time. So I'm
• 35:58
  Speaker 33: looking forward to it.
• 35:59
  Speaker 30: So one of the reasons I don't get hoodwinked by
• 36:01
  Speaker 30: recruiting or by the NFL Draft is because right now
• 36:05
  Speaker 30: they are the great It was the greatest draft ever.
• 36:08
  Speaker 30: The coaches say, we just we did everything perfectly. Man so,
• 36:12
  Speaker 30: but the winners on paper Bill's Jets, Giants, the losers Dolphins,
• 36:18
  Speaker 30: Vikings and despite getting Jeremiah Love, Arizona needed more than
• 36:21
  Speaker 30: a running back. But anyway, uh he's going there, Malick
• 36:25
  Speaker 30: Khi Lawrence a pass rusher close to home. Here he
• 36:29
  Speaker 30: went to Dallas. Imagine that Jerry Jones still trying to
• 36:31
  Speaker 30: fill that pass rusher role. So with the draft, you know,
• 36:36
  Speaker 30: two more rounds today, you know, and then tomorrow and
• 36:39
  Speaker 30: uh so, anyway, seven teams had multiple picks. There were
• 36:43
  Speaker 30: eight trades, including six of the last seven. And the
• 36:47
  Speaker 30: way it unfolded and.
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: How many how many unique visitors did Draft kings and
• 36:52
  Speaker 7: and MGM Sportsbook have because I'm sure this was just
• 36:56
  Speaker 7: like heaven, who's who's going to be wearing what ball cap?
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: And you know, every prop bet you can think of
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: would probably be all over that.
• 37:04
  Speaker 30: Yeah, I mean that, you know, uh, Fernando State Home,
• 37:07
  Speaker 30: put on the Raiders hat, did everything. He had a
• 37:10
  Speaker 30: large gathering, a big party, got he had a big
• 37:13
  Speaker 30: pool party. Uh. Then in Palm Beach and just you know,
• 37:16
  Speaker 30: tore it up.
• 37:17
  Speaker 7: That's usually a dangerous sign. By the way, Raiders, Raiders,
• 37:20
  Speaker 7: quarterbacks and big parties in Palm Beach.
• 37:22
  Speaker 4: That's that's not a good side. This guy's a little different.
• 37:27
  Speaker 30: So maybe maybe somewhere this weekend, I'll wear my Vegas
• 37:31
  Speaker 30: Raiders hat, but I'm not going to overdo it, just
• 37:33
  Speaker 30: so you know.

• 44:28
  Speaker 7: and the two stories that have had the longest legs
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: in this particular morning radio Olympics have been you know
• 44:36
  Speaker 7: our dollar. What was the old Marx brother's line.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, my brother, he lives in a dollars of taxes.
• 44:43
  Speaker 7: But the devaluation of our currency, which is something Bob
• 44:46
  Speaker 7: Good has spent quite a bit of time trying to
• 44:49
  Speaker 7: wring the claxon over and Virginia's redistricting battleman who's seen
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: primaries from both sides, but again watching Virginia suffer at
• 45:00
  Speaker 7: the mismanagement of the Republican Party. Bob, good morning, how
• 45:03
  Speaker 7: are you, sir?
• 45:05
  Speaker 21: Good morning, Joe, Happy Friday, my friend.
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: I want to start with the financial stuff and we'll
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: get into the sexy Republican versus you know, Virginian stuff
• 45:13
  Speaker 7: in a minute. It started with the story of Spirit
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: Airlines wants the President to buy them with taxpayer money
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: and and so they can get out of bankruptcy. And
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: you know, we got into economics one oh one and
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: how Spirit Airlines failed, but why they misunderstood the market,
• 45:32
  Speaker 7: but why regulation kind of forced them into you know,
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: second class citizenship and a lot of the airports they
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: flew into, and how there's you know, the the value
• 45:43
  Speaker 7: of the US dollars struggling so much over time kind
• 45:47
  Speaker 7: of became the central theme in this. And you've rang
• 45:51
  Speaker 7: that clason so many times about the spending, about the debt,
• 45:55
  Speaker 7: and about how the dollar is being devalued. You know,
• 45:59
  Speaker 7: what is the future from a guy who's worked in finance,
• 46:03
  Speaker 7: Your whole life is the save for the US dollar.
• 46:09
  Speaker 7: What has to happen for us to pull out of
• 46:12
  Speaker 7: this noseedive? Before we make it to the crish scene.
• 46:15
  Speaker 21: Well, a few observations, if I may, the real emergency
• 46:19
  Speaker 21: in the country is the debt emergency. The real crisis
• 46:23
  Speaker 21: is the debt crisis, and as you know, nobody or
• 46:26
  Speaker 21: almost nobody is talking about it now in Washington. Republicans
• 46:30
  Speaker 21: talked about it during a lot during the four years
• 46:32
  Speaker 21: of the Biden administration, and now they and President Trump, Congress,
• 46:36
  Speaker 21: Republican Congress, and President Trump have kept Biden's COVID budget
• 46:40
  Speaker 21: in place. We're actually spending a little more than Joe
• 46:42
  Speaker 21: Biden did. The debt is literally double what it was.
• 46:46
  Speaker 21: It'll be forty trillion this fall in the midterms. That's
• 46:48
  Speaker 21: what Republicans will run on. It's about double what it
• 46:50
  Speaker 21: was when Trump was first sworn in at twenty trillion
• 46:53
  Speaker 21: back in twenty seventeen. So it is the real crisis.
• 46:56
  Speaker 21: It is the real emergency, and Republicans are spending irresponsibly.
• 47:01
  Speaker 21: Obviously Democrats are spending irresponsible, that's what they do. But
• 47:03
  Speaker 21: Republicans are supposed to be the part of fiscal responsibility.
• 47:05
  Speaker 21: But that's been put on hold because the president doesn't
• 47:08
  Speaker 21: care about it, doesn't talk about it. Moreover, Jerome Powell,
• 47:11
  Speaker 21: the FED Chair, we couldn't get him to talk about debt.
• 47:14
  Speaker 21: As you know, I was on the Budget committee for
• 47:16
  Speaker 21: four years. We couldn't get him to acknowledge the debt
• 47:18
  Speaker 21: crisis and to talk about debt and spending. During the
• 47:21
  Speaker 21: Biden administration, he would say, that's not their responsibility, that's
• 47:24
  Speaker 21: not their issue.
• 47:25
  Speaker 13: Debt.
• 47:26
  Speaker 21: Now he is talking about it a little bit, by
• 47:28
  Speaker 21: the way. It's interesting to that effect. But the next president,
• 47:31
  Speaker 21: whoever wins in twenty eight Joe and gets sworn in
• 47:34
  Speaker 21: in twenty nine, will have to deal with the crisis
• 47:37
  Speaker 21: because so Security and Medicare in particular are scheduled to
• 47:40
  Speaker 21: go bankrupt around twenty thirty three, so towards the end
• 47:44
  Speaker 21: of that next president's term, whoever it might be. But
• 47:49
  Speaker 21: with respect to Spirit Airline and then winning a bailout
• 47:53
  Speaker 21: or even a takeover from the federal government, they may
• 47:55
  Speaker 21: get a more sympathetic ear than we would have suspected
• 47:58
  Speaker 21: a couple of years ago with the Trump presid Because
• 48:00
  Speaker 21: the president's willingness to take public ownership stakes in private companies,
• 48:07
  Speaker 21: his affection for a central bank digital currency, his affection
• 48:10
  Speaker 21: for a sovereign wealth fund, those are things that probably
• 48:13
  Speaker 21: have surprised many conservatives. Many Republicans, and so perhaps he
• 48:19
  Speaker 21: wouldn't mind an ownership stake for the federal government.
• 48:22
  Speaker 7: Well, it's a pragmatism that I think a lot. You know,
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: he looks around and says, well, Germany does it, so
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: why don't.
• 48:28
  Speaker 4: We do it.
• 48:29
  Speaker 7: It's a pragmatism that I think Republicans are. Conservatives have
• 48:35
  Speaker 7: always concerned themselves with there, and it winds up with
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: things like you know, Obama and George W.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: Bush too big to fail.
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: You know, sure, lots of GM workers could lose their jobs.
• 48:49
  Speaker 7: You know what, lots of GM workers have lost their
• 48:51
  Speaker 7: jobs anyway, And we denied somebody the opportunity of buying
• 48:56
  Speaker 7: automobile factories for pennies on the dollar and maybe making
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: the next wave of new innovation the same thing. You
• 49:03
  Speaker 7: know what, what's to say some new airline doesn't start
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: out with some really inexpensive air buses and you know
• 49:10
  Speaker 7: in a fire sale.
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: You know, it.
• 49:12
  Speaker 7: Happens in capitalism, that's what's supposed to happen. It's called
• 49:16
  Speaker 7: creative destruction. And yeah, it stinks when you lose your job.
• 49:21
  Speaker 7: I got a couple of people saying, come on, Joe,
• 49:23
  Speaker 7: it's a little dark for the morning. But you know,
• 49:26
  Speaker 7: you know, fearing that you're going to lose your job
• 49:28
  Speaker 7: is to me in a little bit like fearing that
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: you're going to pass away one day. These are things
• 49:35
  Speaker 7: that are going to happen to you in your life.
• 49:37
  Speaker 7: You're going to lose jobs, sometimes publicly, you know, like
• 49:41
  Speaker 7: a radio host or a congressman, sometimes not so publicly,
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: and and it's just it's just something that you have
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: to know how to deal with. It's not that will
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: it happen, It's it's you know, what do you do
• 49:54
  Speaker 7: when it happens. And that's where we allowed the Marxists
• 49:57
  Speaker 7: the Fabians to come in and and start bailing out
• 50:01
  Speaker 7: these companies because they don't want to go back to
• 50:04
  Speaker 7: the district and explain why Factory X closed down, because
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: the real reasons Factory X closed down are much darker
• 50:11
  Speaker 7: and have much more to do with fiscal policies and
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: regulation and mismanagement of government and interference. To me, Bob
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: is a bigger role than oh, well, we just didn't
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: feel like bailing out your company. You know, a lot
• 50:27
  Speaker 7: of the things that cause these companies to need bailouts
• 50:30
  Speaker 7: are things that government could do for free, just by
• 50:33
  Speaker 7: stopping doing things.
• 50:36
  Speaker 21: Well, your point about fear and consequence, that is a
• 50:39
  Speaker 21: healthy motivator. There's a direct correlation, or a close correlation
• 50:44
  Speaker 21: at least between performance and fear of consequence. If you
• 50:48
  Speaker 21: don't perform, and if you point to situations where there
• 50:50
  Speaker 21: are not fear of consequence or losing your job, whether
• 50:54
  Speaker 21: it's a union shop or a government position, than performance
• 50:59
  Speaker 21: and productivity is negatively impacted.
• 51:01
  Speaker 7: Accordingly, No, without question there So I want to pivot
• 51:06
  Speaker 7: because Virginia, you know, the drive by media has all
• 51:10
  Speaker 7: you know, sort of driven off and headed to Florida
• 51:13
  Speaker 7: where the weather is warmer and the redistricting is hotter.
• 51:17
  Speaker 7: Now that we've in their view, we've finished the redistricting
• 51:21
  Speaker 7: story in Virginia, It's not finished. There's court battles to
• 51:24
  Speaker 7: be had, some today and some on Monday, I believe
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: will be when they come in there. But to me,
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: the subtextual story, while they can't pay, pay or vote
• 51:38
  Speaker 7: in favor of the Save Act, but they can vote
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: in favor of seventy billion dollars for ice and border patrol,
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: which is wonderful. But can John Thune bring the Save
• 51:48
  Speaker 7: Act to the floor. Now we've got anonymous Republicans, you know,
• 51:53
  Speaker 7: speaking to the press saying, I wish these MAGA people
• 51:56
  Speaker 7: would lay off the Save America Act.
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: It's it's a non issue. It's not going to go anywhere.
• 52:02
  Speaker 21: Uh.
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: And John Thune is just trying to placate these MAGA types.
• 52:06
  Speaker 7: This is a Republican congressman saying this, Bob over, you know,
• 52:11
  Speaker 7: something simple like making sure all Americans vote. Meanwhile, they
• 52:16
  Speaker 7: give tens of millions of dollars to John Cornyn so
• 52:20
  Speaker 7: we can beat Ken Paxton in a primary.
• 52:23
  Speaker 4: Uh.
• 52:23
  Speaker 7: And they give tens of millions of dollars to Tommy Massey,
• 52:28
  Speaker 7: who I like more than than John Thune, but for
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: their positions. And they give next to nothing to the
• 52:36
  Speaker 7: Virginia Republican Party to fight off the redistricting battle. And
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: it just does I don't understand. And I guess that's
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: what I want you to help me with. I want
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: to understand how they come up with their priority lisp.
• 52:49
  Speaker 19: Bob.
