  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:13
  Speaker 3: Joe works at a steel mill. He's down here every day.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Leaves for work when the sun comes up. Drops a
• 0:20
  Speaker 3: kid to school and on the way. Joe has everything
• 0:24
  Speaker 3: he dreamed of. All the treasures that he needs. No
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: wonder Joe's always smiling.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: He only aims to please you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: this morning. I'll tell you what went on. I will
• 0:44
  Speaker 5: give you my analysis of it.
• 0:47
  Speaker 6: Sure, that's a given. But I also want to hear.
• 0:49
  Speaker 5: How it is impacting you where you are. The single
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: most important local aspect of this radio station is you.
• 0:59
  Speaker 5: And that's why you call in or text in at 434-882-4217.
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: This is the first time in my radio career we've
• 1:09
  Speaker 5: done text-in hotline, and it is enormous.
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: I wish we had thought of it sooner.
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Of course, I've been around long enough where data rates
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: may apply was still something that you had to consider,
• 1:23
  Speaker 5: but given what we do in the mornings and that
• 1:27
  Speaker 5: this is the suppository of all things left to quote
• 1:31
  Speaker 5: the last minute, Now is the last minute, isn't it?
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: What?
• 1:36
  Speaker 5: No, I meant to say that. Remember, Norm Crosby. Lots
• 1:40
  Speaker 5: of Norm Crosby as a kid growing up. The point
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: is within the malaprop. So, whatever your reactions may be,
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: side effects vary. The idea that you have different... reactions
• 2:02
  Speaker 5: to these is fine. Data centers. Oh, we opened up
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: that can of tuna fish. At just at the end
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: of last hour, seven different text messages about data centers.
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: And several of you, and this is kind of heartening, actually,
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: seven text messages that just since we headed into the
• 2:23
  Speaker 5: top of the hour news, quick note, if you don't
• 2:25
  Speaker 5: get all four hours of the program, you can go
• 2:28
  Speaker 5: online to joethomasinthemorning.com And choose your podcast nexus, whether it
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: be Apple Podcasts or Spotify or iHeart, wherever it may be.
• 2:41
  Speaker 5: And you can catch up on the other hours you
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: don't get. And don't be mad at the station because
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: it's a blessing to share whatever time I do get
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: with you. But just before we went to the news,
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: I was asked about a congressperson's position on data centers
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: and that he was in favor of them.
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: And I said, I hate to tell you this. So
• 3:02
  Speaker 6: am I.
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: So seven text messages come in, but three of them
• 3:06
  Speaker 5: were agreeing with me.
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: That's not a.
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: Bad percentage considering what we're up against narrative-wise. Our first
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: things this morning, activist groups tied to China and Iran
• 3:19
  Speaker 5: are collaborating within the United States to promote agendas opposed
• 3:25
  Speaker 5: to U.S.
• 3:26
  Speaker 6: Policies.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: This not from the Department of Justice. This not from
• 3:31
  Speaker 5: the Secretary of War. This is from an investigation done
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: by Newsweek magazine, and they begin to take notice. In Paris,
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: a quieter night, although a curfew was imposed in the
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: areas around the federal government as well as the best
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: shopping district in the city. as officials say they will
• 4:01
  Speaker 5: keep the curfews out to try to keep riots from
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: flashing again through the Parisian streets as well as other
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: cities around France. President Trump said on Monday the Department
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: of Agriculture has $ 8 billion in support for farmers who
• 4:22
  Speaker 5: are being hit by higher diesel costs during the harvest season.
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: This was announced during a campaign speech yesterday in Kansas.
• 4:35
  Speaker 5: Department of Justice said on Monday that it's arrested 11
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: and is looking for 17 more foreign nationals living in
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: the Republic of California for allegedly registering to vote illegally
• 4:49
  Speaker 5: or casting ballots in U.S. elections illegally. The Trump administration
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: has also sued California's election officials for to enjoin them
• 4:59
  Speaker 5: from counting up to 20,000 votes that it believes are
• 5:04
  Speaker 5: from non-citizens. That will be adjudicated, and the administration is
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: hoping to match the voter rolls in California to citizenship records. Meanwhile,
• 5:21
  Speaker 5: the administration has also sent a message to election officials
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: across the country and in California saying that they will
• 5:31
  Speaker 5: face legal consequences if they facilitate or ignore federal crimes,
• 5:36
  Speaker 5: like knowingly taking a vote from somebody who is.
• 5:40
  Speaker 6: Not a citizen.
• 5:42
  Speaker 5: Treasury Department has flagged $ 270 million in additional suspicious financial
• 5:49
  Speaker 5: activity linked to federal student aid programs, 100 suspicious activity reports,
• 5:56
  Speaker 5: from July 9th up. And those are our first things.

  Speaker 12: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 12: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 12: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 13: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 12: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 12: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 7: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 12: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 14: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 6: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 7: Shh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 12: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 6: And with every item.
• 9:39
  Speaker 12: You buy, you fund local job training and more.
• 9:43
  Speaker 15: So go forth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 12: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much
• 9:49
  Speaker 12: good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 12: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 16: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:23
  Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 16: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 16: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 17: Eat better.
• 10:42
  Speaker 16: Get moving. Visit checkupamerica.org or call 1-800-DIABETES, a message from
• 10:47
  Speaker 16: the American Diabetes Association.
• 10:50
  Speaker 6: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran, and I lost
• 10:52
  Speaker 6: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that a
• 10:56
  Speaker 6: 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 18: At DAV, we're on a mission, helping veterans of all
• 11:06
  Speaker 18: generations get the benefits they've earned.
• 11:09
  Speaker 11: I'm CeCe.

  Speaker 16: My victory was finishing my education.

• 11:50
  Speaker 2: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 19: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 19: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 23: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 19: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 7: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 22: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 6: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 19: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 6: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 11: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 24: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 15: I have a cramp.
• 12:16
  Speaker 20: I can probably hit the green from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 6: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 21: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 19: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 22: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 22: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 22: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 22: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 21: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:50
  Speaker 21: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

  Speaker 21: A message from the We Don't Serve Teens program and
• 12:58
  Speaker 21: the Federal Trade Commission.
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: We might post it to your.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: Listen anytime you like. We won't tell your HR director,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: but we might post it to your Grindr profile. First
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:56
  Speaker 13: Can't wait.
• 13:58
  Speaker 24: Well, there's an awful lot of issues important to me.
• 14:04
  Speaker 9: Here's my campaign policy.
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: Education.
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: Arbitration.
• 14:08
  Speaker 23: Equalization.
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: United Nations.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: Race Relations.
• 14:24
  Speaker 5: So 434-882-4217, Scott down Virginia Beach says, do you invite
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: many political figures onto your program? And my response was
• 14:37
  Speaker 5: the ones I find interesting. And this is why my
• 14:41
  Speaker 5: confession about former Congressman Perriello, last time I spoke with
• 14:47
  Speaker 5: him was August 12th, 2017. Google searched that date. He
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: was outside of a school that his sister runs, and
• 14:58
  Speaker 5: he was just trying to make sure that the rioting
• 15:01
  Speaker 5: that was happening, the Black Lives Matter and the Antifa
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: and the Nazis— didn't damage her school. And I saw
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: him and he had just come back from being an
• 15:11
  Speaker 5: ambassador and a negotiator of peace treaties for the State
• 15:16
  Speaker 5: Department in sub-Saharan Africa. And he was in some of
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: the worst, Darfur, I think he camped out in Darfur
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: trying to say, hey, we got a new peace agreement.
• 15:27
  Speaker 5: New ceasefire has been agreed on every couple of weeks.
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: And I said, you know, you've seen some of the
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: worst of the worst, Tom, you know, And he couldn't
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: get away from just blaming Trump for everything. I'm like,
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: come on, man, have a conversation with me. I'm covered
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: in pepper spray and my eyes felt like they were bleeding.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: And he couldn't just have a conversation about rioting and
• 15:52
  Speaker 5: human rights and.
• 15:53
  Speaker 6: Thug squads and.
• 15:58
  Speaker 5: And that's when he stopped being interesting to me because
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: we used to be able to have conversations like that.
• 16:03
  Speaker 5: And you find that there is, amongst elected officials, a
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: point where they stop caring. And I used to be
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: able to do this more frequently. And I think this is,
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: it's an unscientific yardstick, Scott, about the power of the
• 16:24
  Speaker 5: political parties, right? But pretty much since the beginning of
• 16:30
  Speaker 5: the Tea Party movement, I've watched politicians become less and
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: less interested in going on live radio. Some of them,
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: some of them will actually pay cash money. They will
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: buy a segment of the program. Just like, you know,
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: you hear ads. Well, they want to buy the host's
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: ability to interview them.
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: I don't do that.
• 16:57
  Speaker 5: It's part of why my wife says, like, you know,
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: your business model kind of is dumb, Joe. If everyone
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: else is getting paid to play, then maybe you should
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: get paid to play.
• 17:08
  Speaker 6: I don't know. It just, this is how.
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: I sleep well at night, is that I know that
• 17:16
  Speaker 5: what I'm putting before you is interesting, is illuminative in
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: some way, shape, or form, is touchstoning on things you see,
• 17:27
  Speaker 5: And not every politician wants to do that. Not every
• 17:31
  Speaker 5: politician wants to have an opinion on data centers or abortion.
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: So they don't want to talk to me.
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: Don't infer too much from it. It's just they're very
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: close whole. Glenn Youngkin, when he was running for governor,
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: came on my program and I committed heresy because I
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: asked him, his company had given money to the Southern
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: Poverty Law Center. I said, I'm sorry, you know, governor,
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: erstwhile governor, I guess he was still chairman at the time.
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: I said, I'm sorry, the Southern Poverty Law Center has
• 18:12
  Speaker 5: had me on their list three separate occasions.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Can you explain what this was?
• 18:19
  Speaker 5: And he said to my audience, he said, well, It
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: was a blind spot. We were told that they were okay.
• 18:26
  Speaker 5: And so we put them, tax law in Virginia allows
• 18:31
  Speaker 5: companies to give money to nonprofits.
• 18:38
  Speaker 6: And write it off.
• 18:40
  Speaker 5: And one of the organizations that his venture capital firm
• 18:45
  Speaker 5: had anointed was the Southern Poverty Law Center. And it's
• 18:49
  Speaker 5: one of the reasons they have that Orwellian name. That
• 18:53
  Speaker 5: Orwellian name, Southern Poverty Law Center, sounds like they're out
• 18:56
  Speaker 5: there trying to make sure poor people get legal representation.
• 19:01
  Speaker 5: You'd think that, right? And so he said, well, it
• 19:06
  Speaker 5: was a blind spot. We didn't realize. I said, so
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: tell my listeners how your administration might avoid similar blind
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: spots in legislation. And He said, well, we're just going
• 19:22
  Speaker 5: to work really hard and nose to the grindstone or
• 19:26
  Speaker 5: millstone or whatever. And that was the last time I
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: ever spoke to him. Didn't think it was an offensive question.
• 19:35
  Speaker 5: Seemed like a reasonable question to ask. But you have
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: to understand, politicians running for office don't want to answer
• 19:42
  Speaker 5: questions like that because it's bad enough when people that
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: don't support them Ask those questions.
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: And this is.
• 19:52
  Speaker 5: Really the essence of why I wish we would stop
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: asking elected officeholders to fix our problems for us. Tea
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: Party movement, Drain the Swamp, all these things were campaigns.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: Of the.
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Please stop doing these things. Please don't do this anymore.
• 20:19
  Speaker 5: We weren't asking them to do new things. We were
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: asking them to stop doing the traditional ones. The ones
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: that had just become common practice.
• 20:33
  Speaker 13: And how.
• 20:34
  Speaker 6: I don't know.
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: I'm not good at that because I campaign every single morning.
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: I have been campaigning, whether I knew it or not,
• 20:42
  Speaker 5: for 40 years. And I've never had an election night.
• 20:47
  Speaker 5: I've never had an election night party. Even when the
• 20:50
  Speaker 5: ratings come in and we're number one, it's six months
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: after the election. So I'm on into the next election cycle.
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: So I used to keep a cigar. I love the
• 21:02
  Speaker 5: Red Auerbach victory cigar thing. And it sat at my desk,
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: and we won our first ratings battle. And the information came.
• 21:14
  Speaker 5: I'm like, oh my gosh, this is great. But we
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: were already three months into the next ratings battle, the
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: next campaign. So I didn't feel like it was appropriate
• 21:25
  Speaker 5: to celebrate something that technically is ongoing again. So I
• 21:31
  Speaker 5: just never did it. And over 40 years, you just
• 21:34
  Speaker 5: forget that this is a campaign for your attention every morning.
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: You vote with your radio dial. If it doesn't help you,
• 21:43
  Speaker 5: if it doesn't tell you, you know, do I need
• 21:45
  Speaker 5: to wear a jacket today? If it doesn't tell you,
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: is the interstate backed up? Then, you know, we're not
• 21:52
  Speaker 5: doing our job and you'll go find someone else. And
• 21:58
  Speaker 5: I guess that's the bigger issue is, you know, Hey.
• 22:01
  Speaker 6: I'm Brant, and her name is Sherry.
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: Hello.
• 22:04
  Speaker 25: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
• 22:06
  Speaker 25: for because of a surgery she just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 26: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 26: talk about all the time, which is?
• 22:13
  Speaker 25: MediShare.
• 22:13
  Speaker 26: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 22:15
  Speaker 25: So what was your experience like with MediShare and the
• 22:17
  Speaker 25: health care bills?
• 22:18
  Speaker 26: Honestly, Brant, seamless. And what a blessing that is. When
• 22:21
  Speaker 26: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 26: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 26: me tell you, Having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 26: call in with your need, that is just... It is refreshing. Yes,
• 22:34
  Speaker 26: that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 25: What I keep telling people, people love MediShare and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 25: love saving money. A typical family can save $ 500 a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 26: I am very thankful for MediShare. It is so different.
• 22:46
  Speaker 26: And I mean different in a very, very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 6: It is good different. Call now.
• 22:50
  Speaker 25: They're easy to talk to and you can get a

  Speaker 13: Hi, I'm Dr. Michael Bailey, president of the American Veterinary
• 23:04
  Speaker 13: Medical Association. Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping
• 23:10
  Speaker 13: veterinarians deliver better care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that
• 23:15
  Speaker 13: speed up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI
• 23:20
  Speaker 13: supports veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to
• 23:24
  Speaker 13: develop personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:30
  Speaker 13: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians can focus more
• 23:34
  Speaker 13: on patients. But as with any new technology, always keep
• 23:40
  Speaker 13: a human in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare.
• 23:44
  Speaker 13: AI is a powerful tool. but not a replacement for
• 23:47
  Speaker 13: your veterinarian's expertise, compassion, and judgment, which remains at the

• 24:08
  Speaker 1: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 1: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,

  Speaker 1: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 5: butter is.
• 28:41
  Speaker 28: And.
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: And so.
• 28:44
  Speaker 5: Pardon me if not only is the story of a
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: team who, you know, nearly had to leave its city
• 28:51
  Speaker 5: because rightfully so, the city said, we can't afford to
• 28:57
  Speaker 5: build you a new stadium. We can barely afford to
• 29:00
  Speaker 5: put a new piece of plastic wrap over the roof
• 29:03
  Speaker 5: that was there. And they never have any money. I
• 29:09
  Speaker 5: think there are minor league teams that have more money
• 29:12
  Speaker 5: than the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. And they've always been
• 29:17
  Speaker 5: a favorite in this house because my son's favorite animal
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: is a stingray.
• 29:22
  Speaker 6: So I have Tampa.
• 29:24
  Speaker 2: And probably his favorite car, too.
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: Well, no, he's not a Corvette guy. Sorry. But for
• 29:32
  Speaker 5: our friends in St. Petersburg and WBGS tuning in this
• 29:37
  Speaker 5: morning at 610, rest assured, because we have... have no
• 29:40
  Speaker 5: affiliate in Milwaukee, we will be rooting for the Tampa
• 29:43
  Speaker 5: Bay Rays in the low payrolls World Series this year.
• 29:50
  Speaker 5: And the worst nightmare of the salary cap crowd is
• 29:55
  Speaker 5: Tampa Bay. versus milwaukee for the world series there mac
• 30:00
  Speaker 5: how are you doing.
• 30:01
  Speaker 14: No it's awesome the boat the numbers and i just
• 30:03
  Speaker 14: had to look up the numbers all right the beginning
• 30:05
  Speaker 14: of the year the brewers were 35 to 1 to
• 30:08
  Speaker 14: make the world series the rays were.
• 30:10
  Speaker 6: 80 to 1 damn and just as.
• 30:13
  Speaker 14: You were talking about it in payroll the brewers are
• 30:16
  Speaker 14: ranked 19th they're somewhere between 185 195 million.
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: You know, a year.
• 30:23
  Speaker 14: And the Rays ranked 27th in payroll. They are less
• 30:28
  Speaker 14: than 100 million, somewhere like 96.
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: 97 million in payroll. That's so cool.
• 30:32
  Speaker 14: So you got to love it. The betting odds, Milwaukee
• 30:34
  Speaker 14: minus 155. The Rays are plus 135 to win it
• 30:38
  Speaker 14: if that's the game you want to play.
• 30:39
  Speaker 28: Really?
• 30:39
  Speaker 5: With even a lower payroll, and they're still the favorite
• 30:42
  Speaker 5: to win the World Series.
• 30:43
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I just, I love this story and the fact that,
• 30:47
  Speaker 14: because both Pat, you know, I love Kevin Cash as a,
• 30:50
  Speaker 14: you know, just really great with the team. And then,
• 30:53
  Speaker 14: of course, Pat Murphy. So this is a great, great
• 30:57
  Speaker 14: World Series.
• 30:57
  Speaker 6: But here's the thing about Tampa.
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: You know, Milwaukee, okay, you have to outdo the Cubs.
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: All right.
• 31:04
  Speaker 5: So you have to make it past the Cubs in St.
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Louis is somewhere next to the dumpster fire and whatever.
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: And then who can figure that out?
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: Tampa Bay had to make it through the crucible.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: And everyone was like, oh, well, it's hard because it's.
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 31:18
  Speaker 6: They're in Yankees, Red Sox, Toronto. Yeah.
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: Spending money like even drunken sailors are on the phone
• 31:25
  Speaker 5: saying to the Yankees, GM, you're making us look bad.
• 31:29
  Speaker 29: Yeah.
• 31:29
  Speaker 14: Some guy frozen in time, like in June, he went, what?
• 31:33
  Speaker 14: The Razor in the series.
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: Yeah, no, you're, you're right, Joe.
• 31:36
  Speaker 14: This is really, um, again, I wanted, and I think
• 31:40
  Speaker 14: I said like July, I wanted Cubs White Sox. Cause
• 31:43
  Speaker 14: I thought that would be just, you know, just terrific.
• 31:46
  Speaker 14: I got, I got friends who are real White Sox fans.
• 31:48
  Speaker 14: I got friends who are Cubs fans since I I'm
• 31:50
  Speaker 14: a Midwest guy, but that's what, uh, you know, I
• 31:53
  Speaker 14: was looking for.
• 31:53
  Speaker 18: All right.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: A couple of things.
• 31:55
  Speaker 14: Uh, because boy, you talk about coaches with explaining to
• 31:58
  Speaker 14: do Dan Quinn. Dan Quinn is on a hot seat again.
• 32:03
  Speaker 14: Let me walk you through it because it was 13,
• 32:06
  Speaker 14: three on a fourth down play. Quinn was seen on
• 32:11
  Speaker 14: the sidelines going, Oh wait, that was fourth down. Anyway,
• 32:16
  Speaker 14: here's what happened.
• 32:17
  Speaker 6: Fourth and two Daniels out.
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: To his right flag on the plane. Daniels has to
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: throw it away.
• 32:26
  Speaker 15: And if this is against Washington, it'll be declined, and
• 32:29
  Speaker 15: it'll be San Francisco ball.
• 32:31
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you don't throw the ball away on fourth down.
• 32:34
  Speaker 6: You've got to at least give your receiver an opportunity.
• 32:36
  Speaker 19: Legal shift offense, number one.
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: Two-man in motion, number one never reset. Oh, my goodness.
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: No, I definitely knew it was fourth down.
• 32:43
  Speaker 18: We were going for it, and I think what you're
• 32:45
  Speaker 18: referring to, I was probably saying, like, with the illegal shift,
• 32:47
  Speaker 18: there's not a penalty to go for a field goal.
• 32:49
  Speaker 19: Like, it doesn't go, like, it's the turn on downs.
• 32:52
  Speaker 14: Yeah, so they turned it over anyway, but yet Quinn
• 32:56
  Speaker 14: is seen on TV going, it's fourth down?
• 32:58
  Speaker 6: You know, and so it's just not a good look
• 33:01
  Speaker 6: right now. It's the antithesis.
• 33:02
  Speaker 5: I saw a clip in my Facebook feed of the guru,
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: the crazy-looking professor saying, that taught Nick Saban the six seconds.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes. Yeah.
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: And it's just like, come on, six seconds. Pay attention
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: for six seconds.
• 33:18
  Speaker 5: I mean, it's just, you know, I hate, I'm not
• 33:21
  Speaker 5: one of these guys who's like, blame the coach for everything.
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: But preparation is– And it's not that they would have won. Yeah,
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: it's not that they would have won. And they had–
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: They came back.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: They were within a touchdown.
• 33:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah, yeah.
• 33:33
  Speaker 14: You had a sack. You had intentional grounding. And then
• 33:39
  Speaker 14: a complete pass at the goal line. Okay, so that's
• 33:42
  Speaker 14: problem number one since the commanders went for it on
• 33:44
  Speaker 14: fourth and two at the Frisco 13-yard line.
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: In the second quarter.
• 33:48
  Speaker 14: Now, Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts was diagnosed with blood
• 33:52
  Speaker 14: clots in his lungs and a leg, and this report
• 33:55
  Speaker 14: came out yesterday. Hurts last played October 11th, and the
• 33:58
  Speaker 14: Eagles lost to Jacksonville. That game was in London, but
• 34:01
  Speaker 14: he was allowed to fly back. Now, The questions are
• 34:04
  Speaker 14: surfacing like crazy with Nick Sirianni. When a follow-up scan
• 34:09
  Speaker 14: was conducted back in Philly, the team said the superficial
• 34:12
  Speaker 14: blood clot had moved, which prompted to pull Hertz from
• 34:16
  Speaker 14: the game against Carolina. Now, multiple reports yesterday saying that
• 34:21
  Speaker 14: before the Eagles played the Jags in week five in London,
• 34:24
  Speaker 14: he was in a hospital until 4 a.m. The clot
• 34:28
  Speaker 14: in his leg didn't sleep because sleep was a risk.
• 34:31
  Speaker 14: And so now they're reporting, and there's a guy, a reporter,
• 34:35
  Speaker 14: Tom Palacero of The Ring, who reported the doctors told
• 34:38
  Speaker 14: him not to sleep as a precaution.
• 34:41
  Speaker 6: He caught a couple of hours.
• 34:42
  Speaker 14: In the training room before he went out to play,
• 34:44
  Speaker 14: and they said it was okay. Well, of course, the
• 34:48
  Speaker 14: writers went after Nick Sirianni yesterday.
• 34:50
  Speaker 30: Nick, why was John Hurts allowed to fly home despite
• 34:53
  Speaker 30: the team knowing that he had a blood clot?
• 34:54
  Speaker 23: Again, I'm not a medical expert. Same deal there. We
• 34:58
  Speaker 23: get medical information from our guys. We always put the
• 35:02
  Speaker 23: players' health first and foremost in every situation. You know,
• 35:06
  Speaker 23: that's where we were there.
• 35:07
  Speaker 30: Were you briefed by the medical team before you did
• 35:10
  Speaker 30: this press conference on why he was permitted to fly
• 35:13
  Speaker 30: despite the blood clot?
• 35:14
  Speaker 23: Yeah, guys, I talked to them a lot.
• 35:15
  Speaker 6: Can you give us the information?
• 35:17
  Speaker 23: I talked to the guys.
• 35:18
  Speaker 6: Hey, Jeff.
• 35:19
  Speaker 30: As a spokesman of the team, we're just hoping you
• 35:21
  Speaker 30: give us some information.
• 35:22
  Speaker 6: For the public.
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: Oh, my gosh.
• 35:23
  Speaker 14: Yeah, so they were after just he repeated it again.
• 35:27
  Speaker 14: So even if Hurts wanted to play, medical personnel said
• 35:30
  Speaker 14: he could, a clear and obvious risk.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: In a player who was up all night. you know,
• 35:33
  Speaker 6: due to blood clots and whatever.
• 35:35
  Speaker 14: So now, and now they're saying the Nick Sirianni, you know,
• 35:39
  Speaker 14: knew what was going on.
• 35:40
  Speaker 6: They said, it's okay, let's fly back or whatever.
• 35:42
  Speaker 14: Now he has to rely on, and yeah, the doctors
• 35:45
  Speaker 14: do communicate with, you know, with the head coach. And
• 35:49
  Speaker 14: they let, you know, they look at the medical, even
• 35:52
  Speaker 14: down to peewee league. I mean, you're looking in medical
• 35:56
  Speaker 14: reports every day. The medical report comes to a coach's
• 36:01
  Speaker 14: desk every morning. here's the issue, here's the issue, here's
• 36:04
  Speaker 14: the issue, you know, and especially in football.
• 36:07
  Speaker 6: Well, for the right reason.
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: I mean, how many 16-year-olds and 15-year-olds drop, you know,
• 36:12
  Speaker 5: and you hear about it in August, you hear about
• 36:15
  Speaker 5: it in school, the whole school division say, oh, you
• 36:17
  Speaker 5: can't practice in pads ever because of heat stroke and
• 36:22
  Speaker 5: things like that.
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: But blood clots, I mean, I've got one.
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: I've given it a nickname, and I've had it since
• 36:29
  Speaker 5: my lymphoma. It's always going to be there. Do they
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: know where they... came from, I guess, you know, Philly sports.
• 36:38
  Speaker 5: They only have 20 sports talk stations in Philadelphia. You know,
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: anyone think to ask, Hey, is, you know, where did
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: they come from?
• 36:45
  Speaker 6: Because, but the worst thing to do is fly.
• 36:48
  Speaker 14: And so the fact that he, he gets on a
• 36:50
  Speaker 14: plane after playing the game and gets on a plane
• 36:54
  Speaker 14: and goes, you know, I don't know how many hours through,
• 36:55
  Speaker 14: you know, from London, there's not.
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: A lot of choices to get back from London. However,
• 36:59
  Speaker 6: that's true.
• 37:00
  Speaker 14: But do you stay in London?
• 37:01
  Speaker 25: Yeah.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, no, no, no.
• 37:04
  Speaker 14: I totally, totally get it. So with all that happening
• 37:07
  Speaker 14: last night, I caught just part of it. I was
• 37:09
  Speaker 14: so happy for Angel Reese. She had not only 30
• 37:13
  Speaker 14: and 16 in the WNBA game two, the series is tied.
• 37:17
  Speaker 14: She did not swear. during the post-game interview. I was
• 37:20
  Speaker 14: so happy. Angel may have, I don't know, maybe she's
• 37:24
  Speaker 14: tired of paying fines. Maybe somebody got to her and said, hey, Angel, hey,
• 37:28
  Speaker 14: Potty Mud, let's try to clean it up just a
• 37:29
  Speaker 14: little bit when you do a post-game interview. Angel was actually,
• 37:33
  Speaker 14: you know, pretty good. And then in the post-game press,
• 37:35
  Speaker 14: her actually didn't swear.
• 37:37
  Speaker 13: So, you know, that's a good thing.
• 37:40
  Speaker 14: The NBA starts today. At 3 o'clock Celtics distance, we
• 37:47
  Speaker 14: have a triple header starting at 3.
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: Didn't we just finish the championship?
• 37:50
  Speaker 14: They haven't swept up. Didn't the Knicks just win? Carl
• 37:54
  Speaker 14: Anthony Towns going, I won't be paid.
• 37:55
  Speaker 6: Okay, so we'll see. Have a great Tuesday. Brought to

  Speaker 15: Hi, it's Mark Falter, host of the Financial Fitness Show.
• 38:05
  Speaker 15: I strongly believe that no one should ever pay one
• 38:08
  Speaker 15: penny more in taxes than they are legally obligated. Unfortunately,
• 38:13
  Speaker 15: for most hardworking Americans, this just isn't the case.
• 38:16
  Speaker 7: Why?
• 38:17
  Speaker 15: Because most people spend more time planning next weekend's getaway
• 38:21
  Speaker 15: than trying to ensure they're going to pay less in taxes.
• 38:24
  Speaker 15: My financial fitness team has put together some materials that
• 38:27
  Speaker 15: I know are going to help you. It's the tax
• 38:29
  Speaker 15: savings kit. Tax savings kit includes three things, free tax analysis,
• 38:35
  Speaker 15: top 10 ways to pay less in taxes, and an
• 38:38
  Speaker 15: investor's guide to taxes.
• 38:40

  Speaker 1: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 1: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 1: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 1: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 1: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 1: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 1: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 1: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric oxide
• 39:47
  Speaker 1: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 4: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 4: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 4: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 4: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

  Speaker 4: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 41:17
  Speaker 4: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for

• 44:19
  Speaker 6: Under my plan.
• 44:21
  Speaker 18: Of a cap-and-trade system, electricity rates would necessarily skyrocket.
• 44:39
  Speaker 6: You know what the trouble with being a duck is?
• 44:42
  Speaker 6: Everyone thinks you're just floating on top of the water.
• 44:45
  Speaker 5: They're like, hey, while you're floating there, can you do
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: this for me too?
• 44:49
  Speaker 6: That's the trouble with being a duck this morning.
• 44:52
  Speaker 5: Thank you for letting me quack for you at 434-882-4217.
• 44:54
  Speaker 5: We're going to get to your texts and emails. Thank
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: you for taking my six when it comes to data centers.

  Speaker 5: But Tom Drops Bombs, YouTube channel host with way more
• 45:11
  Speaker 5: followers than a, White man deserves Tom.
• 45:14
  Speaker 6: Good morning, sir. How are you doing?
• 45:16
  Speaker 7: I don't even have white man followers on YouTube. It's
• 45:20
  Speaker 7: Facebook delegate, Tom Garrett. That's I think we went from
• 45:23
  Speaker 7: a thousand to 53,000 in like six months. So it's
• 45:28
  Speaker 7: either a train wreck. It's either a train wreck and
• 45:31
  Speaker 7: delegate Tom Garrett on Facebook. Tom drops a lot on
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: YouTube is actually better because we have more content. It's
• 45:37
  Speaker 7: less filtered, but anyway, it's, You know, Joe, you're a duck.
• 45:41
  Speaker 7: Virginia Governor Abigail Spanberger is a quack.
• 45:46
  Speaker 6: I was going to say catfish, but OK. So so
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: we played a little clip there.
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: You sent me a little clip of Barry, little Barry
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: Sotero grew up to be president of the United States,
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: explainifying that cap and trade would mean you're. Energy bills
• 46:03
  Speaker 5: would grow exponentially, and it would have to. And why
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: do we not care?
• 46:12
  Speaker 7: And that's their religion. necessarily skyrockets energy policies, quoting Barack Obama,
• 46:22
  Speaker 7: but they have to do it because their religion says
• 46:24
  Speaker 7: that man is all powerful and that we control the
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: climate on Earth. Now, I'm not a scientist, but I
• 46:30
  Speaker 7: can read, and I do have an analytical mind, and
• 46:33
  Speaker 7: there's this thing in the sky called the sun. Now,
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: I know that the Earth has been far warmer than
• 46:38
  Speaker 7: it currently is, and it's been far colder than it
• 46:40
  Speaker 7: currently is. I also know that a net-to-average increase in
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: temperature may actually have positive effects on human survival as
• 46:48
  Speaker 7: cold kills far more people than hot. don't let the
• 46:55
  Speaker 7: facts get in the way of a good religion-based argument.
• 46:58
  Speaker 7: What they're doing is they've falsely created a marketplace capitalized
• 47:02
  Speaker 7: by surcharges on the energy bills of plumbers and teachers
• 47:07
  Speaker 7: and cops and firefighters and dental assistants and retirees. They've
• 47:12
  Speaker 7: catalyzed this market with working people's money, but you have
• 47:15
  Speaker 7: to have a billion or more to invest in it.
• 47:17
  Speaker 7: People like Tom Steyer and Bill Gates and Melinda, they
• 47:21
  Speaker 7: make tens if not hundreds of millions of dollars trading
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: on carbon credits and a thing that doesn't actually exist
• 47:29
  Speaker 7: anywhere except for on paper. And we pay more in
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: our energy bills to subsidize it, understanding that supply and
• 47:35
  Speaker 7: demand and cost all interact in this micro and macroeconomic
• 47:39
  Speaker 7: soup that we all must consume. And the cost is
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: passed on to us while they enrich themselves. Now, Carbon trading,
• 47:46
  Speaker 7: cap and trade, none of these things work. Barry admitted
• 47:48
  Speaker 7: they would drive prices up. So the Democrats said, let's
• 47:50
  Speaker 7: give it a cute name called Reggie. But why are
• 47:52
  Speaker 7: we talking about this? And here's the story, and this
• 47:56
  Speaker 7: is unconscionable. The Virginia General Assembly was to have had
• 48:00
  Speaker 7: a special session convening October 26th. Republicans don't keep their
• 48:06
  Speaker 7: mouths shut well, but it was the plan of the
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: Republican minority in both chambers to put forth three initiatives.
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: One would have been to pull us from Reggie to
• 48:14
  Speaker 7: push down energy costs. We've tried that. We did it
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: under Youngkin, and our energy costs, wait for it, went down.
• 48:21
  Speaker 7: Spanberger put us back in. They went back up. It
• 48:24
  Speaker 7: was the most expensive power bill ever in August in Virginia, ever.
• 48:28
  Speaker 7: And it jumped like 10% month over month. Now, that's
• 48:33
  Speaker 7: number one. We were going to try to get us
• 48:34
  Speaker 7: out of that. Number two, Ohio, North Carolina, Utah, Georgia,
• 48:39
  Speaker 7: I'm missing some, Indiana, have all temporarily suspended their gasoline tax.
• 48:44
  Speaker 7: In Virginia, we're paying about $ 5 every time we fill
• 48:47
  Speaker 7: up our car just to the Commonwealth of Virginia in taxes.
• 48:52
  Speaker 29: $ 0.
• 48:52
  Speaker 7: 35 a gallon or thereabouts. It might be $ 32. 8. I
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: don't know, but we're out rounding. And we wanted to
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: suspend the fuel tax because when we get on the
• 49:00
  Speaker 7: other side of the midterms, the Iran thing will work
• 49:03
  Speaker 7: itself out. The Iranians have been looking at the first
• 49:05
  Speaker 7: Tuesday after the first Monday in November for six or
• 49:08
  Speaker 7: eight months. And they thought that they could. In fact,
• 49:10
  Speaker 7: the IRGC, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps, literally endorsed a
• 49:13
  Speaker 7: blanket Democrat ticket publicly. Please vote Democrat, says Iran, right?
• 49:19
  Speaker 7: And so we wanted to reduce the fuel costs for
• 49:22
  Speaker 7: Virginians temporarily. The third thing was we wanted to come
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: back and remove tax on tips from state income taxes
• 49:29
  Speaker 7: in Virginia. We've tried that three times. The Democrats have
• 49:32
  Speaker 7: stopped removing taxes on single working moms three times. We
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: wanted to try to do it a fourth on October 26th.
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: And so yesterday we get an email that they're canceling
• 49:42
  Speaker 7: the special session.
• 49:44
  Speaker 12: Why?
• 49:45
  Speaker 7: Because they care more about you spending extra money and
• 49:48
  Speaker 7: blaming Trump for it, even though it's their policy that's
• 49:51
  Speaker 7: doing it, than they do about helping working women and men.
• 49:55
  Speaker 7: That is the damnedest thing I think I can say that, FCC,
• 49:58
  Speaker 7: I have ever seen in politics. If they're lying about
• 50:01
  Speaker 7: why they did it, well, you know, we were going
• 50:03
  Speaker 7: to have trouble getting our people back.
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: Dude, whatever.
• 50:05
  Speaker 7: I mean, they have a super... if a super majority
• 50:08
  Speaker 7: or nearly so in the house of delegates and, and, and,
• 50:12
  Speaker 7: you know, this is, and somebody goes, well, they're saying
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: they're having trouble getting their people back. And I said,
• 50:17
  Speaker 7: that's the lie I would tell too, if I lied
• 50:19
  Speaker 7: with impunity and cared more about power than I did
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: about helping the people who I serve.
• 50:25
  Speaker 5: Tom, Tom, the question is my mic not working.
• 50:31
  Speaker 6: Uh, I'm sorry.
• 50:31
  Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you a question on their excuse
• 50:34
  Speaker 5: that they, uh, They couldn't get their people back for
• 50:37
  Speaker 5: the General Assembly. Are that many people in the General
• 50:40
  Speaker 5: Assembly celebrating Halloween? Are they all getting into like some
• 50:46
  Speaker 5: Harry Potter costume or Chewbacca that they can't come in
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: for a couple of days before Halloween? Do they need
• 50:53
  Speaker 5: to run to the store to get bags of M
• 50:56
  Speaker 5: & M' s or Reese's Pieces to hand out? What holiday
• 51:00
  Speaker 5: were they away on that they couldn't all get back
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: to Richmond for?
• 51:05
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I don't. Why do I need to delve into
• 51:08
  Speaker 7: the details of a lie?
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: Well, I'm being sarcastic. I'm calling them liars with a
• 51:15
  Speaker 5: dumb reason. You're supposedly spending all of George Soros' money.
• 51:20
  Speaker 5: Pay a little bit for a better excuse. Oh, we
• 51:22
  Speaker 5: were all away for a holiday. What holiday?
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: Columbus Day? It wasn't Columbus Day. And is it holiday?
• 51:28
  Speaker 27: Are we.
• 51:30
  Speaker 5: You know, are that many Democrats wiccan that they're going
• 51:33
  Speaker 5: to be celebrating a high holy day on October 31st?
• 51:37
  Speaker 6: You know, I don't know.
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: Maybe they could be sacrificing babies. That's on the ballot
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: in November, too.
• 51:42
  Speaker 6: Yes, it is.
• 51:44
  Speaker 5: Anyway, I just it was so dumb to say they
• 51:47
  Speaker 5: couldn't get back because of the holiday travel thing. a
• 51:51
  Speaker 5: week and a half before Halloween or a week and
• 51:54
  Speaker 5: a half after Columbus Day.
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: It was just ridiculous.
• 51:57
  Speaker 7: Look, Abigail Spanbury says that the way we address this
• 52:00
  Speaker 7: instead of rolling back the state gas tax is to
• 52:02
  Speaker 7: drive less. I'm waiting for her to come out with
• 52:04
