  Speaker 2: Stuart said, steal me step. You have a day at
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: least for work.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to school.
• 0:19
  Speaker 4: They joys everything, a gender, all the jass no one
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: that Joe's allis smiled.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: He only as.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Let be Joe, thank you for letting us be of
• 0:35
  Speaker 2: service to you this morning.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: I want to be.
• 0:39
  Speaker 2: On the program that tells you what went on last night.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: We'll give you our analysis of it, of course, and
• 0:47
  Speaker 2: then we'll ask you to tell us how it's impacting
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: you where you are, because you are the most important
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: part locally of your radio station. And if you're not involved,
• 0:57
  Speaker 2: then it ain't local. So bring in three four eight
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: eight two four to two one seven. That's the phone number.
• 1:05
  Speaker 2: You can also use that for text messaging, like Terry
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: in Portland said, you should use the line from the
• 1:14
  Speaker 2: Blues Brothers, I hate Illinois Nazis spoofing the ACLU defending
• 1:19
  Speaker 2: American Nazis. Back in nineteen seventy four, uh talking about
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: this revelation of the Southern Poverty Law Center. And you know,
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: I thought the redistricting stuff would have us busy. I've
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: been on more other people's shows in the last twenty
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: four hours discussing the Southern Poverty Law Center and Charlottesville,
• 1:40
  Speaker 2: which is good because when Charlottesville happened, and I hate
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: the fact that our hometown is a it's an adjective
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: now to Charlottesville, basically meaning to light yourself on fire
• 1:55
  Speaker 2: for attention. We did some radio and television then, and
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: then when I wasn't singing from the same songbook, everyone
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: wanted me to. People stopped calling and saying, hey, Joe,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: can you tell us what you saw since you were there.
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: But now with the revelations that the Southern Poverty Law
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: Center paid at least one of the organizers of the
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Unite the Right rally to do the voodoo that they
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: do so well well, and that is the question that's
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: dangling out there. What were they getting paid for? What
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: was this transportation coordinator getting two hundred and seventy thousand
• 2:36
  Speaker 2: dollars to do in that deadly riot that took the
• 2:41
  Speaker 2: life of two state troopers while they protected the governor
• 2:45
  Speaker 2: to get his campaign on and the activist who was
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: killed in the crush that may or may not have
• 2:52
  Speaker 2: and certainly there is social media chatter from there that
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: indicates that this person had suggested run into crowds of protesters.
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: I appreciate all that been busy there. My boss's birthday
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: is today. It's a family owned business here at Thomas Media,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: and my wife owns fifty one percent of the company
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: and she has a birthday today. So we're going to
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: be worrying about that after we finish up with you
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: at nine o'clock. Our first things On this Friday, President
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: Trump was asked during a White House press conference if
• 3:25
  Speaker 2: you would use nuclear weapons to destroy Iranian civilization. He
• 3:30
  Speaker 2: said no, I wouldn't use it, he told reporters. He
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: also went on to say that the United States is
• 3:36
  Speaker 2: in no rush to end the war with Iran, but
• 3:39
  Speaker 2: the quote clock is ticking on the Islamic Republic. Meanwhile,
• 3:44
  Speaker 2: Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corp Navy has laid an additional
• 3:49
  Speaker 2: six thousand minds, according to report in Axios, who has
• 3:55
  Speaker 2: a press office in tehant I believe they've confirmed through
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: a US official and another source with knowledge to the situation,
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: who said that they are closely tracking the mind laying,
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: though not interjecting any efforts to stop it. President Trump
• 4:13
  Speaker 2: said he's weighing taxpayer takeover of Spirit Airlines. The low
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: cost airline is in teetering on bankruptcy, and they're going
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: to try to sell off the airline itself in bankruptcy
• 4:26
  Speaker 2: protection rather than having the airline shut down. The President said,
• 4:31
  Speaker 2: they have good aircraft and good assets, will sell and
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: when the prices of oil goes down, we'll sell it
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: for a profit. The United States will invite Russian President
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: Vladimir Putin to a G twenty summit in Miami, but
• 4:46
  Speaker 2: President Trump said he doubted whether his counterpart would come.
• 4:49
  Speaker 2: The invitation would start, marking a major easning of international
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: pressure on Putin, who's been shunned by many in the
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: West and has actually considered a criminal in many countries.
• 5:02
  Speaker 2: So if you were to fly over them, threats of
• 5:05
  Speaker 2: being brought down to face charges emerge, Canada being one
• 5:10
  Speaker 2: of those countries. President Trump on Thursday also demanded Senate
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: majority pardon me. Minority Leader Chuck Schumer apologized to immigration
• 5:20
  Speaker 2: law enforcement officers, saying that nobody respects them and referring
• 5:24
  Speaker 2: to them as Trump's private army. He must apologize now
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: to these great patriots, the President wrote on truth, social
• 5:33
  Speaker 2: and no surprise to anyone. In the NFL draft, Fernando
• 5:37
  Speaker 2: Mendoza went number one, David Bailey edge rusher, and Jeremiah
• 5:41
  Speaker 2: Love was the third pick in last night's NFL draft.
• 5:46
  Speaker 2: And those are some of our first things on this
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Friday morning.
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: the American story, but not every site is telling that
• 5:58
  Speaker 6: story honestly and fair. That's why the Heritage Foundation created
• 6:02
  Speaker 6: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
• 6:10
  Speaker 6: sites that depict some of the greatest moments in our
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
• 6:22
  Speaker 6: over forty five sites in the thirteen original colonies, but
• 6:26
  Speaker 6: sites from all fifty states will be added in time
• 6:29
  Speaker 6: for citizens to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From
• 6:33
  Speaker 6: Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more, Americans
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: deserve transparency, and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve
• 6:42
  Speaker 6: our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every
• 6:46
  Speaker 6: American to rediscover the places and stories that define our nation,
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: whether it's across the country or in your backyard. Visit

• 7:01
  Speaker 7: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 7: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: to look into.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: And that's meta share.
• 7:10
  Speaker 7: Maybe you've heard joining metashare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 7: family up to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge,
• 7:15
  Speaker 7: but it's also true. People are just happier with it.
• 7:18
  Speaker 7: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
• 7:21
  Speaker 7: their values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Meta share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 7: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 7:34
  Speaker 7: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 7: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
• 7:42
  Speaker 7: of the gig economy, or you just want to plan
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: Here you go.
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: You can call right now and get a price within
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: two minutes, a very very smart use of two minutes.

  Speaker 7: Here's the number you need. It's eight five to five
• 7:53
  Speaker 7: share forty eight five five share forty eight five five share.
• 7:59
  Speaker 8: Forty considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

  Speaker 10: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackhannah. It's always a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: at home, but because of their acute senses. They also
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: help those in need. So please join me an American

• 11:05
  Speaker 3: And now a speech.
• 11:06
  Speaker 5: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 5: art and brain.

• 12:32
  Speaker 14: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 14: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased

• 13:16
  Speaker 1: On your to do list. Putting the radio on is
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: the first thing today.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: So the question remains, as we learn more and more
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: about who is behind the door, where and when do
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: we start to get our good name back? How many
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: times now, just just since twenty sixteen have we come
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: to a moment like we came to yesterday. I guess
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: technically the e before when the Department of Justice announced
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: its indictments of the Southern Poverty Law Center for paying
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: people to compose when they couldn't get people to sing.
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: And it's not just these NGOs. I was talking to
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: my friend John Reid's been on with us. I was
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: on with him on his podcast yesterday and we said,
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: you know, these NGOs, these non government organizations Britain, they
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: have an even more apt name for them. They call
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: them quacos quasi non government organizations because they they portend
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: that they're are I'm a five AH one C three
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: PO and I uh AMZ. So they love the anonymity
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: and independence they're They're just like these companies like Spirit
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: Airlines that they want to be independent and rebels and
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: all this stuff. And then as soon as bankruptcy comes knocking,
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: Oh good, the taxpayers buy our planes from us, and
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: then we can go and sit in the Hampton's and
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: then they wonder, and then people have the call to
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: wonder why Republicans have problems. Yes, Donald Trump's right, we
• 15:25
  Speaker 2: could probably sell their airline for a profit once the
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: oil prices come down. I think you could probably sell
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: it for a profit. Now let them die and somebody
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: else buy the planes for cheap. That's how free market
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: capitalism works. They screwed up. I've flown Spirit Airlines. I
• 15:48
  Speaker 2: had no problem flying Spirit Airlines. I joked, I think
• 15:53
  Speaker 2: we were going to Las Vegas for Freedom Fester or
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: something along those lines, and I said, well, I'm going
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: to take Spirit Airlines. I think they need me to
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: fuel up the jet before we take off. I'm not
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: sure what my assignment is, but they had Discount Airlines.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: Problem with Spirit Airlines is you can't fly them. Anytime
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: we've investigated using Spirit Airlines. One of the reasons we
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: drove to Dallas was the only affordable flights were Spirit
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Airlines and they took nineteen hours to fly from Richmond,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Virginia to Dallas, Texas. It nearly took us less time
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: to drive. Probably did if you take out the sleeping
• 16:38
  Speaker 2: and the doing the radio show a couple of times.
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: Because Spirit Airlines is cobbled together so awkwardly, and they
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: have so little space in these airports, so they're not functional. Therefore,
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: very regional things. Maybe flying from Richmond to Atlanta, they
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: might work for you, of any distance, they're useless because
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: you know, you might as well drive if it's going
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: to cost that much to fly, you know traditionally, or
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: if it's going to take you twenty hours of sitting
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: in airports waiting for your connecting flight. There was one
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: connection in the Spirit Airlines story, and we just from
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: the trip to Dallas to cover SEAPAC would have had
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: us laying over for eighteen hours. It was one of
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: our choices. It was one of the lowest price we flew.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: I think we flew to Midway Airport in Chicago and
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: then sat there. It actually said you have to go
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: get yourself a hotel room. You can't stay in the airport.
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: Your next flight's not until the following morning at eight Am.
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: This is why Spirit Airlines is bankrupt, because people can't
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: use their airline for anything more than a short puddle jump.
• 18:07
  Speaker 2: So let them go out of business. Let somebody buy
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: the airplanes for cheap. Let the people who own the
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: company take the hit. That's how economics works, That's how
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: you make good business decisions. But anyway, I digress. These
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: non government organizations are just like Spirit Airlines that want
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: to pretend they're independent, but they behave like a government.
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: And the Southern Poverty Law Center is one of the
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: worst because they'll actually get people like Merrit Garland and
• 18:41
  Speaker 2: Eric Holder to go after people that they put on
• 18:44
  Speaker 2: their hate group list. At least, you know, Pam Bondy
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: and Todd Blanch don't seem to use the well Todd
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: Blanche anyway, doesn't use the Southern Poverty Law Centers hate
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: group list. Last time I talked to Glenn Youngkin in person,
• 19:07
  Speaker 2: he was running for governor and his company, Carlisle, had
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: an employee match investment nonprofit investment thing where if you
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: gave a portion of your salary to a nonprofit from
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: a chosen list, the company Carlisle would match it. And
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: one of the organizations was the Southern Poverty Law Center,
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: and he came on my show and I said, Governor,
• 19:37
  Speaker 2: mister potential governor candidate, Glenn, what do you say about this?
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: He said, Oh, we had a blind spot. I had
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: no idea. He learned but from me that the Southern
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: Poverty Law Center was a hate group designed around the
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: idea of silencing people simply by fixing a scarlet letter
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: to them. But how many times have we found ourselves
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: here years later, long after the punishments and the damage
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: has been done, looking at an indictment, which is good.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I'm not pleased, don't misunderstandify. I am pleased that they're
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: indicting these goons and these thugs. But this should have
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: happened a long time ago, because what they do is
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: they create a scenario. Now we see they spend a
• 20:41
  Speaker 2: minimum just this indictment says three million dollars worth of
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: contributor money, and it's a great investment, better than Spirit Airlines.
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: Maybe we should let the Southern Poverty Law Center run
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: Spirit Airlines because for two hundred and seventy thousand dollars
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: invested in just the Charlottesville riots of twenty seventeen, they
• 21:05
  Speaker 2: capitalized ten million dollars worth of new contributions just from
• 21:17
  Speaker 2: that alone. Pretty good ROI if you think about it.
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: But at what point do we stop believing these people?
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: At what?
• 21:36
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: You and I I definitely have stopped believing these people
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: decades ago. But I feel alone out on the island
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: because especially when you see guys like Jay Jones, the
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: Attorney General of Virginia, Bessarah, these other guys going after
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: these people off their list like it's manna.

• 22:13
  Speaker 16: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to
• 22:15
  Speaker 16: be super intense. As a matter of fact, it could

  Speaker 18: That's it.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: That's what we do here. We say the quiet part

  Speaker 2: You know who you are, We presume. If not, there

  Speaker 2: are other numbers. We can give you a call. Four
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: three four eight eight two four two one seven that's
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: our number. Text messages like this one from Maurice. Maurice
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: writes in I actually work for Spirit Airlines, Joe, and
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: I'm scared I'm going to lose my job. Maurice, being
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: scared you're going to lose your job is the same thing,
• 29:05
  Speaker 2: from my philosophical standpoint, is being scared that you're going
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: to pass away one of these days. It's going to happen,
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: and there are things you can do to mitigate whether
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: or not you lose a job. And the problem with
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: the United States right now is because we've become some
• 29:28
  Speaker 2: so much of a democracy that an effort to protect
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: folks like you, and to be seen on the evening
• 29:36
  Speaker 2: news as protecting folks like you has led Republican and
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: Democrat alike to say, you know what, instead of letting
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: this local company go out of business, will buy it
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: and then sell it off at a profit for the
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: government or something else along those lines. And that's causing
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: more of these companies to fail. And you may lose
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: your job anyway, Maurice, because who says just because you'll
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: become US Airlines government air that they're going to keep
• 30:11
  Speaker 2: you on. They you might hopefully you're a good employee
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: because you're listening to this program. But the the idea
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: of the ebbs and flows of capitalism lead to great
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: airlines that don't go bankrupt because they're not just burning
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: cash figuring, you know what, will live fast and leave
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: a good looking corpse. And the more times the government
• 30:38
  Speaker 2: comes to buy these companies, and their bankruptcy is not
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: only because they don't have good flight schedules, usable utilitarian
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: flight schedules. A lot of that has to do with
• 30:53
  Speaker 2: other airlines. They lock out, you know, at airports and
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: they cut deals because all those airlines that fly into
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: your neighborhood airport, they have deals with the airport for
• 31:04
  Speaker 2: space because the airport says, hey, you want all the
• 31:08
  Speaker 2: United flights on this, this is what it costs you.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: The airports, you know, that's their stock and trade, it's
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: their property. But what we've done and what you're suffering
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: at Spirit Airlines, Maurice, is the same thing that happens
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: time and time again. You know, people burn a company
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: to the ground. This used to happen all the time
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: during the eighties, when you get a company and then
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: somebody would swoop in with bags of cash, buy it,
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: take the things that are profitable out of it, and
• 31:40
  Speaker 2: then leave the husk and a lot of unemployment behind.
• 31:44
  Speaker 2: Because it's a perversion of what capitalism is. And then
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: the do gooders on the left, the politicians will come
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: in and say this is the failing of capitalism. Now
• 31:55
  Speaker 2: it's the failing of cronyism. And who knows what great
• 31:59
  Speaker 2: airline line could come out of the ashes of Spirit
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: Airlines buying inexpensive seven thirty sevens and being able to
• 32:08
  Speaker 2: actually take that to the bank. Got a bunch of
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: folks on the line, Maurice, thank you for the text.
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: Good morning. You're on the air with Joe. Who's this?
• 32:17
  Speaker 18: This is Matt Hey.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: You know I was thinking about you.
• 32:20
  Speaker 17: Matt.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: You never got to finish your point because half of well,
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: no half of Virginia got cut off, or at least
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: half of central Virginia did, as the lights went out
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: in Georgia. There Luckily nobody was counting ballots when the
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: lights went out. I've got Andy on the line ahead
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: of you. Can I hang on to you for a second,
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: because I do want to hear you know, whatever you're
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: calling in about today. But I was also curious what
• 32:44
  Speaker 2: you were calling in about yesterday, because I think we
• 32:46
  Speaker 2: were just that's the thought I want to finish. Okay, well,
• 32:49
  Speaker 2: let me get back to let me get back to Andy,
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: and then we'll find out what Because we were talking
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: about traffic and Dave Mason and all of a sudden,
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: the lights went out all across central Virginia as well,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: So we'll find out what Matt was calling about yesterday
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: when when the lights went out in Georgia and uh oh,
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: text message from Tina said, no, we had just finished
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: counting the just finished outing the ballots when the lights
• 33:16
  Speaker 2: went out, but the plumbing backed up, so we had
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: to write in some new ballots. Okay, very good. See
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: this is this is the satirized for you. This is
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: how we don't wind up depressed about this. We've got
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: to make fun of these people. Andy, thank you for
• 33:29
  Speaker 2: hanging on the line. What's on your mind this morning?
• 33:33
  Speaker 19: So it gets just incredible. All this stuff is, you know,
• 33:38
  Speaker 19: kind of related to to cronyism and restricting the flow
• 33:43
  Speaker 19: of people in capital. Actually, my first job was with
• 33:48
  Speaker 19: Boeing as an economic forecaster, and they had me in Renton,
• 33:55
  Speaker 19: Washington County engineers and I was like, this is not
• 33:58
  Speaker 19: an economic forecast and they were saying, well, you have
• 34:01
  Speaker 19: to have an NBA and I was like, well, I
• 34:04
  Speaker 19: can get one of those in like five minutes.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: And so yeah, go online and get one.
• 34:11
  Speaker 19: Like back entire school commerce, which was like the it
• 34:15
  Speaker 19: was ranked as I think it was Warehouser's number set
• 34:19
  Speaker 19: or number twenty two NBA program, even though it wasn't
• 34:23
  Speaker 19: in there because I'd had gone out there the interview.
• 34:26
  Speaker 19: Both were Bowing and Warehouser, and so I moved to Seattle.
• 34:32
  Speaker 2: So what kind of Andy's I'm curious? So what was
• 34:36
  Speaker 2: what was Boeing asking you to look into? I mean,
• 34:39
  Speaker 2: were they looking into whether they were going to need
• 34:41
  Speaker 2: to build more planes and have, you know, ramp up
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: production because they were going to be you know, demand
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: for more airlines. Is that the kind of stuff you
• 34:49
  Speaker 2: were doing?
• 34:50
  Speaker 19: When I got there, I was counting the I was
• 34:53
  Speaker 19: doing reports, historical reports to on the seven seven t
• 35:00
  Speaker 19: seven forty seven programs to ramp up for the seven
• 35:03
  Speaker 19: fifty seven and seven sixty seven program. And so you know,
• 35:08
  Speaker 19: I'm just I'm something this little kid and had driven
• 35:12
  Speaker 19: across the country with the lady with borderline personality disorder,
• 35:17
  Speaker 19: which you know just was created another level.
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: But that was a trip, you know. But so you
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: get out there and you're doing this what you know
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: and and maybe this is why you know, but Boeing
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: has a government division, uh there, and and maybe this
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: is what drives a lot. Oh yeah, yeah they have.
• 35:35
  Speaker 19: They make wicked stuff too, but uh, you know, and
• 35:38
  Speaker 19: I'm I'm an anti war so it's you know, when
• 35:40
  Speaker 19: I used to wear Wicked. I'm just talking about not
• 35:43
  Speaker 19: the company but the person. So I'm I'm sitting here
• 35:49
  Speaker 19: in Florida and I'm checking in with my best friend
• 35:54
  Speaker 19: from childhood and which I would do quarterly, and he said,
• 35:59
  Speaker 19: you know, doctor, you know Bailey just died.
• 36:02
  Speaker 2: And I was like, no, ship, doctor Bailey, Hey, you
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: don't use bad words on the radio.
• 36:07
  Speaker 19: Ideas, you know, being my medical doctor as I was
• 36:11
  Speaker 19: a kid. He was a UVA football player and you know, uh,
• 36:18
  Speaker 19: and he had his father had died and said the
• 36:21
  Speaker 19: congressman had gotten him, you know, to get out of
• 36:25
  Speaker 19: being deployed like the Vietnam or something. And he ended
• 36:28
  Speaker 19: up in Yorktown, Virginia, which is where I grew up.
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: So so a congressman back in the day, you know,
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: in the sixties used as used a medical deferment. Uh
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: you know that they cooked up and mean I said,
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: the stories they bubbled back up.
• 36:43
  Speaker 19: Reeves Bailey junior is or yeah, probably it might be.
• 36:49
  Speaker 19: I don't know if he's a junior or the third.
• 36:51
  Speaker 19: But he's been a realtor in Charlotte.
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: That Bailey. I know Reeves Bailey, I mean I haven't
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: talked to him in a few years.
• 36:59
  Speaker 19: But Reeves part medical di Oh.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Wow, I'm gonna have to send condolences to Reeves.
• 37:05
  Speaker 19: And somebody told the story he went toe to toe
• 37:09
  Speaker 19: with the one of these hospitals saying that, you know,
• 37:14
  Speaker 19: I'm I'm going to refer my patients to the hospital.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: That will provide the best result.
• 37:21
  Speaker 19: And you know I'm not going to send all my
• 37:24
  Speaker 19: thing to the riverside you know, public hospital.
• 37:27
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, you got to stand up for something,
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: even in the day. But I thank you for the
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: look into the airline industry. Andy, I appreciate it, sir.
• 37:34
  Speaker 19: So Here the Spirit Airlines thing was really funny though, Mike,
• 37:39
  Speaker 19: so I'm going to we only have ten seconds, Okay, Well,
• 37:44
  Speaker 19: I'll struggle back at another time. Okay, I think the
• 37:47
  Speaker 19: Spirit Airlines saying it was just hilarious. There were these
• 37:51
  Speaker 19: two employees that showed me how to get a uh
• 37:55
  Speaker 19: one of the rental cars when Chip sent me to
• 37:58

• 41:10
  Speaker 11: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths

  Speaker 11: are preventable with a few lifestyle changes, including regular activity,
• 41:18
  Speaker 11: healthier eating, and not smoking. Talk to your doctor about

  Speaker 11: if your doctor recommends lifestyle changes or medication, listen. The

  Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
• 44:20
  Speaker 2: So he left Matt on the line. Yesterday we were
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: talking about I don't know, we were talking about Dave Mason,
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: I think, and you've picked appropriate bump in music, have you?
• 44:32
  Speaker 2: It's a I think this is actually the so running
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: the risk of you know, playing a little of that
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: while we you know, you know, cross our fingers and
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: that the power doesn't go out again. In the middle
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: of Matt's call, what was the actual reason you called,
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: other than to talk a little bit about Dave Mason
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: and traffic and Steve Wynwood.
• 45:02
  Speaker 18: Well, the reason I called was that I had gone
• 45:08
  Speaker 18: down to the Registrar's office and voted in person early,
• 45:14
  Speaker 18: voting no against this whole redistricting boondoggle, right, But I
• 45:21
  Speaker 18: did it. I did it full in the knowledge that
• 45:25
  Speaker 18: my no vote was going to be overwhelmed by harvested
• 45:31
  Speaker 18: ballots from some Alzheimer's center in Alexandria.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: Actually, some accusations of thirty thousand ballots showing up right
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: at the end of the right at seven PM as
• 45:49
  Speaker 2: the polls were closing, absentee drop offs in Fairfax, of
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: all places, and so hopefully you know, see this is
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: the problem with a guy like Jay Jones, Democrat attorney general.
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: Aside from the fact that he wants to put bullets
• 46:06
  Speaker 2: into people's heads if he disagrees with him, he's not
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: going to look into this and he'll you know, in
• 46:11
  Speaker 2: fair fact, you've got progressive George Sorow's prosecutors, so nobody's
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: going to look into these allegations.
• 46:19
  Speaker 18: Well, and this is I mean, I don't trust this election,
• 46:27
  Speaker 18: and now that we have had this election, I see
• 46:31
  Speaker 18: no reason to trust any of the elections going out
• 46:35
  Speaker 18: into the future.
• 46:36
  Speaker 2: Sure, absolutely, why would you? And that's to me that's
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: somewhat intentional too.
• 46:44
  Speaker 18: Yeah. Well, and I was listening to a I hate
• 46:48
  Speaker 18: to tell you this, but I was listening to another
• 46:51
  Speaker 18: radio show and another channel yesterday.
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: I mean after nine o'clock, right, oh yes, oh yeah,
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: well sure, absolutely Eastern.
• 47:03
  Speaker 18: But they were talking about the electability of some of
• 47:08
  Speaker 18: these Democrat candidates, you know, Newsome and all out crazy.
• 47:15
  Speaker 1: Thing.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: You know, it's amazing when Vassera becomes the common sense
• 47:20
  Speaker 2: choice in California.
• 47:24
  Speaker 18: But what I got thinking about was that because of
• 47:28
  Speaker 18: Shenanigan's like we've experienced this week, the Democrats don't need
• 47:33
  Speaker 18: to worry about the electability of the candidate because now
• 47:39
  Speaker 18: no matter who they put up, it's going to be rigged.
• 47:44
  Speaker 18: They've proved they.
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: Can do it.
• 47:46
  Speaker 18: They figured out how to do it. So now they
• 47:49
  Speaker 18: could put up somebody like all out crazy and she
• 47:55
  Speaker 18: could get elected. Not because the people white, Kurt or
• 48:00
  Speaker 18: anything else, but because they are manipulating the system.
• 48:07
  Speaker 2: It's it is I think one part, I mean this
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: dark magic that they're pulling on us, one part intentional,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: so that we lose faith in the system. Why not
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: and why not have some fun with it? Take it
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: out for a ride while you're doing that. So the
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: primary intent is to get us to a point where
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: we will all vote to get rid of the system.
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: You know what, and if you read some of the
• 48:34
  Speaker 2: stuff in Liquid Democracy. This is the stuff that Charles
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: Dodgson wrote when he was in between musings on what
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: he was going to put into Alice in Wonderland. And
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: if you read the two side by each, your like, huh,
• 48:50
  Speaker 2: I kind of see how one thing leads to the other.
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: But this is this is their bibble for nuveaux voting,
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: full proxy voting. It's it's estimated balloting. It's all these
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: things that you know, especially in the age of AI,
• 49:10
  Speaker 2: become really concerning.
• 49:14
  Speaker 18: Well not only in the age of AI, but as
• 49:18
  Speaker 18: I understand, if Virginia has joined this popular vote compact, yes,
• 49:24
  Speaker 18: to do an end to do an end run around
• 49:27
  Speaker 18: the electoral college.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Right right, because yea, And funny enough, Virginia was the
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: reason the electoral college was enacted in the first place.
• 49:40
  Speaker 22: Well, and but by doing this popular vote thing and
• 49:46
  Speaker 22: then manipulating the ballots, you know, having all.
• 49:51
  Speaker 18: Of these harvested ballots, and you know, all of these
• 49:55
  Speaker 18: last minute ballots that show up at the bolding place
• 49:58
  Speaker 18: of six fifty nine. Yep, I don't I don't really
• 50:04
  Speaker 18: think we can have faith in any of the future elections.
• 50:09
  Speaker 18: And yes, I understand the the whole Frankfurt or Frankfort
• 50:14
  Speaker 18: school of socialism that says, you know'll make it all
• 50:18
  Speaker 18: so bad that the good people leave.
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: Given. Yeah, but it it is.
• 50:28
  Speaker 18: Getting hard to keep the faith these days.
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: Well, especially when you watch people like John Thune's you know,
• 50:35
  Speaker 2: you know, gnash teeth and wring hands over the Save
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: Act and anonymous Republicans. We're going to get into this
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: story in the next hour. Anonymous Republicans going on the
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: record saying, oh, yeah, I'm a US senator and I
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: I wish that Thune would stop pushing the Save Act
• 50:54
  Speaker 2: and and you know, and and and talking about it.
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: How how much of a message is that they're the
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: crowd is trying to push a process. See what the
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: press does. You you've worked in journalism, So getting the
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: quote from the anonymous Republican senator is more important than
• 51:14
  Speaker 2: asking them the legitimate questions that go inside of it,
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: like okay, you know it's not just a maga plan,
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: it's a plan. Or it just lay out the details
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: of what the Save America Act does, which says only
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: US citizens can vote in US elections. Ah, funny, that
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: what a thing there. So while they want to go
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: to this National Popular Vote Compact. At the same time,
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: they want to get rid of any regulations that would
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: keep it only being US citizens even in these national
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: popular vote elections.
• 51:49
  Speaker 18: Yeah, and who's going to get counted in that twenty
• 51:53
  Speaker 18: thirty census.
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: The people who need to be counted, the people who
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: need us Matt. Don't you understand that? But good stuff.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: I'm glad you. I'm glad you called back. I appreciate it, sir.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: And you hang in there, and I'm glad you voted anyway.
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: I didn't.
• 52:08
  Speaker 18: I didn't want you to think I just hung.
• 52:10
  Speaker 21: Up on you.
• 52:11
  Speaker 2: Trust me, when all the lights went out and all
• 52:13
  Speaker 2: the equipment went off around me because we don't have
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: a lot of ambient sunlight in the room, even though
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: it was getting close to seeing some dawn over the
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: Eastern seaboard. You know, even even as that was happening,
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: I knew what had happened. I knew you didn't hang
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: up on us, so you'd be good, my friend. Thank you,
