Speaker 1: Making Mornings great again. First Thing Today on the Chunk
13:17
Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
13:20
Speaker 20: I was gonna clean my room until I got ha.
13:25
Speaker 14: I was gonna get up and find the broom, but
13:28
Speaker 14: then I got.
13:29
Speaker 22: Had still missed up And I know why, man.
13:40
Speaker 6: I believe on the Western seaboard. It is four twenty
13:44
Speaker 6: now on four to twenty, and my favorite part of
13:47
Speaker 6: four twenty is you gonna hear that all over the place,
13:50
Speaker 6: that song and nobody gets it. You know, it's it's
13:53
Speaker 6: a pantheon of songs that people so colossally misunderstand. He's
14:03
Speaker 6: not he's not singing your praises, guys. He's not saying
14:09
Speaker 6: this is good. But like many you know, bits of
14:13
Speaker 6: American literature, it goes misunderstood. Remember Archie Bunker wasn't the
14:20
Speaker 6: hero of all in the family. But that being said,
14:24
Speaker 6: you know, we misunderstand a lot of things. Joe McCarthy
14:27
Speaker 6: wasn't wrong in the fact that there were communists all
14:31
Speaker 6: over the US government, mostly at the Department of Education.
14:35
Speaker 6: He was wrong perhaps on how we tried to deal
14:37
Speaker 6: with him, but that's a different discussion. Joel wants to
14:41
Speaker 6: be a content creator. Oh, let me first real quick,
14:44
Speaker 6: since it's four twenty on the West coast here on
14:47
Speaker 6: four to twenty, Mike wrote in earlier, he said, Joe,
14:52
Speaker 6: I don't think you ever mentioned where you get your CBD.
14:54
Speaker 6: I don't get my CBD. Seely one of your fellow
15:00
Speaker 6: listeners has a farm and he makes presses the stuff,
15:05
Speaker 6: and he gave me some to try. Never tried it before,
15:08
Speaker 6: and believe me, after trying to dance with a munch
15:11
Speaker 6: of sixteen year olds on Saturday night, Yeah, it's working.
15:15
Speaker 6: Mace Verdi hemp is his company out of Dolores, Colorado,
15:20
Speaker 6: down in the four corners there, Mike, hope that helps
15:23
Speaker 6: you know, no implication. I've just I've been taking as
15:27
Speaker 6: maybe a third, no not even a third, maybe a
15:30
Speaker 6: quarter of the bottle since he dropped it off for
15:34
Speaker 6: us to try out there. But since you asked, Joel
15:37
Speaker 6: standing By wants to be a content creator for us
15:40
Speaker 6: at four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
15:43
Speaker 6: Good morning, Joel wants on your mind, sir.
15:46
Speaker 23: Good morning.
15:46
Speaker 24: Yeah, happy for twenty day. I'm not an anti cannabis person,
15:50
Speaker 24: but I think it has a lot of benefits.
15:53
Speaker 6: Well, you know, here's you know, and you open a
15:55
Speaker 6: can of worms, and we may hold you over because
15:57
Speaker 6: I hold it. That scraping sound you hear is my
15:59
Speaker 6: soap coming over. But we too frequently. And there's a
16:05
Speaker 6: lot of this going on in the world right now, Joel, Again,
16:09
Speaker 6: we're going to blame an an inanimate object for our behavior.
16:12
Speaker 6: Everyone's talking about this guy in Shreveport, you know, or
16:17
Speaker 6: justin Fairfax, the former lieutenant governor of Virginia. And again
16:21
Speaker 6: they're going after the firearm, not the fellow who apparently,
16:25
Speaker 6: after his fall from grace, became ridiculous, drunkard in varying
16:31
Speaker 6: degrees of incapability of pulling it together. His wife, stuck
16:35
Speaker 6: with him for four years, was at the culmination of
16:38
Speaker 6: an ugly divorce, and he shot her. And he shot
16:42
Speaker 6: her with a gun that he apparently used his kids
16:46
Speaker 6: like horseback riding lessons. And nothing says a young black
16:49
Speaker 6: man more than horseback riding lessons for your kids, doesn't it.
16:54
Speaker 6: But you know this, his kids, we're going to get
16:56
Speaker 6: horseback riding lessons, but his son, but their dad used
17:01
Speaker 6: the money to go buy the gun that he killed
17:02
Speaker 6: their mother with. But it's not the gun's fault. We're
17:07
Speaker 6: going to keep getting more of this stuff happen until
17:10
Speaker 6: we blame the people who do it. Whoever. This guy
17:14
Speaker 6: was in Shreveport, Elkins, he had something wrong with him.
17:19
Speaker 6: And you know it's just the whole idea of this
17:23
Speaker 6: House Ethics Committee. Lump that in there. You know how
17:26
Speaker 6: you know do we have ethics committees? Why do we
17:28
Speaker 6: have ethicsmitties? Because we don't have ethics. University of Virginia
17:33
Speaker 6: local news story on our flagship station just over the
17:36
Speaker 6: weekend celebrated the start of an AI ethics program. AI
17:41
Speaker 6: doesn't have ethics or not. The people who sit at
17:45
Speaker 6: the computer terminals and ask it to do things, those
17:48
Speaker 6: are the people who don't have ethics. And until we
17:51
Speaker 6: start laying this issue in our own laps and saying
17:54
Speaker 6: if we can't understand thou shalt not bear false witness
17:57
Speaker 6: against our neighbor, or thou shalt not steel, or thou
18:01
Speaker 6: shalt not murder, we are not gonna The hardware that
18:05
Speaker 6: we invent is just going to exacerbate these broken places
18:09
Speaker 6: in our psyche. I'm sorry, I'm gonna put the put
18:12
Speaker 6: the soap box away. Let's you old talk, Okay, yeah,
18:16
Speaker 6: I'm trying to get started the floor.
18:19
Speaker 24: So what I what I'd like to say is President
18:24
Speaker 24: Trump over over the weekend. Actually was think it was
18:28
Speaker 24: Friday or early Saturday mornings. Signed a built for psychedelics
18:32
Speaker 24: for imbigating, which is a roote. It's a plant that's
18:36
Speaker 24: used in It's an aucin Asian kind of thing that
18:40
Speaker 24: they use to help with PTSD and a lot of
18:43
Speaker 24: other things depression and cannabis has a lot of good
18:46
Speaker 24: uses to it and I've worked with it, you know,
18:50
Speaker 24: people who have had issues with cancer, and people who
18:53
Speaker 24: have nausea, and people who have post traumatic stress disorder.
18:58
Speaker 25: I'm a nurse.
18:59
Speaker 24: I can't you know, say that I've but it's helped
19:02
Speaker 24: me a little bit and helps people sleep. But you
19:06
Speaker 24: have crack pots, a term that you that came up
19:08
Speaker 24: in the sixteen hundreds where it means the pedal was
19:11
Speaker 24: the kettle was cracked, and their skull it's in relation
19:14
Speaker 24: to their skulls. We have crack pots and politics. We
19:17
Speaker 24: have crackpots and religion. We have crackpots and education. But
19:22
Speaker 24: you know, there's it's people always went a base as
19:25
Speaker 24: an argument with alcohol and it has nothing to do
19:28
Speaker 24: with alcohol. It has to do with people's traditions and origins,
19:34
Speaker 24: and Chinese have used it, the Israelis have used it,
19:39
Speaker 24: and you know, the Hebrews have used it and for
19:42
Speaker 24: birthing and all kinds of other things. And we're finding
19:45
Speaker 24: out that a lot of the old medicine isn't bad
19:47
Speaker 24: medicine because before all of the antibiotics and painkillers, people
19:53
Speaker 24: had to go off of the herbal and plants of
19:57
Speaker 24: the earth. And if you go back to I guess
20:00
Speaker 24: in the Bible Genesis and all plants and and and
20:04
Speaker 24: and you know, things were provided to the two people
20:10
Speaker 24: given the guard use them. It depends how you use them.
20:13
Speaker 6: Well, yeah, and that goes back to what I said,
20:15
Speaker 6: It's about you, not the thing. And you know, I
20:19
Speaker 6: feel bad for was it, George McGovern You know, you
20:23
Speaker 6: know I was thinking about that when I read the
20:25
Speaker 6: Ibigain story, you know, the whole Gonzou Hunter S. Thompson
20:30
Speaker 6: Ibigaine thing. Right, I don't know about Hunter S.
20:34
Speaker 24: Thompson. I'm I'm out of that loop with that one.
20:37
Speaker 17: Well.
20:37
Speaker 6: Hunter S. Thompson, the famous Gonzo journalist who's been depicted
20:41
Speaker 6: by you know, various people, Jack Nicholson, Johnny Depp, you
20:44
Speaker 6: name it, you know. He he was his book Fear
20:49
Speaker 6: and Loathing on the campaign trail, so bend out of
20:53
Speaker 6: shape about Republicans. Uh. He decided that he was going
20:56
Speaker 6: to make up a story. But actually the source of
20:59
Speaker 6: the story is funny. He was on the plane with
21:02
Speaker 6: all these other newspaper writers and he was out there
21:05
Speaker 6: trying to find stories and write stuff for Rolling Stone magazine,
21:09
Speaker 6: and he noticed that all these AP reporters and Reuter's
21:13
Speaker 6: reporters were covering exactly the same stories he had, So
21:17
Speaker 6: he decided to test it out. So he wrote this
21:19
Speaker 6: story that said George McGovern was having issues behind the
21:23
Speaker 6: scenes with Ibbigain addiction. And it got picked up, It
21:28
Speaker 6: got picked up by other wire sources. He never published it,
21:31
Speaker 6: and then it became the root of Fear and Loathing
21:34
Speaker 6: on the campaign trail there. But it actually wound up.
21:38
Speaker 6: I mean, people started questioning McGovern at press conferences about
21:42
Speaker 6: his Ibbygain addiction and he was like, I don't what,
21:46
Speaker 6: and Hunter S. Thompson's said, I just made the whole
21:48
Speaker 6: thing up. It was like Harry Reid in a journalistic sense,
21:52
Speaker 6: but he did it to out some of the journalists
21:54
Speaker 6: that were stealing from him, but at the end of
21:57
Speaker 6: the day it actually wound up tearing up a press
22:00
Speaker 6: cidential race.
22:01

Speaker 4: Today's modern vehicle, whether it's a car, suv, or light truck,
23:15
Speaker 4: is designed with a specific fuel in mind. Read your
23:17
Speaker 4: owner's manual. What octane rating does the vehicle manufacturer call for?
23:21
Speaker 4: That's what you should use, But there are exceptions to
23:24
Speaker 4: the rule. Many high end or luxury vehicles call for
23:27
Speaker 4: premium or higher octane fuel, and the reason for this
23:30
Speaker 4: is not just due to the octane rating. There are
23:32
Speaker 4: better fuel system cleaners in premium fuels. Gasoline companies know too.
23:36
Speaker 4: The vehicles that run on premium won't perform as well
23:38
Speaker 4: with carbon deposits, so they pack more cleaning power into
23:41
Speaker 4: their premium fuels than their regular blend. If you rotate
23:44
Speaker 4: your fuel choices around say every third tank full, you
23:47
Speaker 4: may find better performance and miles per gallon because you
23:50
Speaker 4: are cleaning your engine and fuel system while you drive.
23:54
Speaker 4: Just don't tell your mechanic you're trying to replace them
23:56
Speaker 4: anytime soon with your automotive prescription. I'm ronin Ani in

Speaker 4: the car, See you next time.
24:04
Speaker 8: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
24:08
Speaker 26: Yes?
24:09
Speaker 8: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
24:14
Speaker 8: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
24:19
Speaker 8: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

24:33
Speaker 8: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
24:37

24:40
Speaker 8: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
24:43

Speaker 6: with a weekends full of stuff? What is it with?
28:49
Speaker 28: You?
28:50
Speaker 6: Almost could have predicted that twenty three eleven Racing was
28:53
Speaker 6: going to do this to the NASCAR field, you know,
28:56
Speaker 6: with the way the lawsuit twenty three eleven is named
29:00
Speaker 6: way because it's a partnership between Michael Jordan, Yes that
29:03
Speaker 6: one and Denny Hamlin, Yes that one, and they started
29:07
Speaker 6: their own race team and they were fighting with NASCAR
29:11
Speaker 6: all off season over NASCAR has this way of you
29:14
Speaker 6: get a you can purchase of I don't know in
29:17
Speaker 6: the other sports, in the stick and ball sports they
29:19
Speaker 6: call him franchises, but I guess in NASCAR they're called charters,
29:25
Speaker 6: which means you're guaranteed to be in every race, whether
29:27
Speaker 6: you know, qualify with a horse and buggy or not.
29:31
Speaker 6: And they were challenging that as restraint of trade because
29:35
Speaker 6: there were only so many of them, and Michael Jordan
29:37
Speaker 6: wanted to buy him because I guess he made some
29:39
Speaker 6: money at the golf course. And now you know, Tyler Reddick,
29:44
Speaker 6: their driver has just taking everyone out behind the woodshed
29:46
Speaker 6: and look at them.
29:47
Speaker 25: Yeah, ridiculous. And not only that was so it was

30:25
Speaker 19: You know, three toyda is getting together created the opportunity
30:27
Speaker 19: for me to make sure that a Toyda won the race.
30:30
Speaker 19: And so yeah, I'm glad I was able to do
30:32
Speaker 19: that because Twitter is in my opinion, Danny, myself, Christopher,
30:35
Speaker 19: we were all really strong. It would have been real
30:37
Speaker 19: shame that, you know, if a Toya didn't win today,
30:39
Speaker 19: so I'm glad we're able to get that done.
30:41

31:22
Speaker 25: did James Franklin say? And I played it in the
31:24
Speaker 25: first headlines. Oh, and James Franklin said, well, it gave
31:28
Speaker 25: us time to learn what it's like to sit out
31:30
Speaker 25: a rain delay or whatever.
31:31
Speaker 21: So we learned how to handle a versity.
31:34
Speaker 25: But you know, when when you got a Scott Ever
31:36
Speaker 25: coming down with an American flag of that size, naturally
31:39
Speaker 25: every one of the world's got their phone out. So
31:42
Speaker 25: there are hundreds the posts of people from all the
31:46
Speaker 25: different angles. You couldn't have gotten better coverage on a
31:50
Speaker 25: blown mistake. It takes me back to one of my
31:52
Speaker 25: favorite referee stories. Now, I grew up really loving referees.
31:57
Speaker 25: Umpire's referees and their stories. First started in Iowa. I
32:02
Speaker 25: was doing you know, boys and girls high school basketball,
32:05
Speaker 25: doing Iowa State all of that. I got to know
32:08
Speaker 25: a lot of the officials and a lot of guys.
32:10
Speaker 25: We would have a nice tea after a game and
32:12
Speaker 25: sit and they would tell me some of the greatest
32:14
Speaker 25: coaching stories in the world. So anyway, Tom's of Morski
32:17
Speaker 25: Rest in peace. Tom was a Charlottesville guy acc referee
32:21
Speaker 25: who went upstairs, but he had one of the greatest
32:24
Speaker 25: stories of all time. He was working a duke game.
32:27
Speaker 25: Duke football game. Okay, so here comes to Scott. Now
32:30
Speaker 25: the referees, so you understand, the referees get a rundown
32:34
Speaker 25: of everything that's going to happen, from bands to skydivers to.
32:37
Speaker 21: Who's doing what. They get a rundown.
32:39
Speaker 25: So over the they walk out Wallas Wade Stadium and
32:42
Speaker 25: here is a skydiver circling Wallace Wade Stadium and you
32:48
Speaker 25: know they're watching him. He lands at the fifty yard line.
32:50
Speaker 25: He's got the football and Tom's of Morski walks up
32:53
Speaker 25: to the skydiver and said, we didn't have are you bringing?
32:56
Speaker 25: He goes, this is North Carolina right, Oh, and he goes, no, No,
33:03
Speaker 25: this is Wallace Wayne Stadium.
33:05
Speaker 21: It's not Keenan Stadium. It's Wallace Waite State.
33:08
Speaker 25: The skydiver missed it by fifteen miles, you know, so
33:11
Speaker 25: they he'd landed in the wrong in the wrongs.
33:14
Speaker 6: Oh my goodness. That's like one of them progressive commercials,
33:17
Speaker 6: you know, when the kids shows up at the girlfriend's
33:20
Speaker 6: house and they all wear Duke shirts and he's.
33:23
Speaker 21: Working with the skydiver, wrong stadium, you know, So how
33:28
Speaker 21: do you well, you just you go with the flow.
33:30
Speaker 6: Right, So is this before uber He couldn't call.
33:32
Speaker 21: A lot exactly.
33:34
Speaker 25: So anyway, there's always UH coach speak after spring games.
33:38
Speaker 25: James Franklin now, you know, pushing for the community to
33:41
Speaker 25: get behind him now that these feet are wet. And
33:44
Speaker 25: I told you on Friday he will conduct one hundred
33:47
Speaker 25: and twenty interviews individually now getting.
33:49
Speaker 21: Ready for the the off season.
33:52
Speaker 5: And for us to go where we want to go.
33:54
Speaker 21: That's gonna take the players, the coaches.
33:57
Speaker 4: That's going to take the community, that's going to take
33:59
Speaker 4: the fans, that's gonna take the letterman.
34:01
Speaker 17: We had a bunch of letterman.
34:02
Speaker 5: Show up today.
34:03
Speaker 21: But we got a chance to do something very special here.
34:06
Speaker 23: We're not going to hide from that.
34:07
Speaker 4: We're going to need everybody to understand and buy into
34:10
Speaker 4: that for us to go where we want to go.
34:12
Speaker 21: Yeah, so he's been you know, he's been very dramatic.
34:14
Speaker 1: Whatever.
34:14
Speaker 25: Tony elliot same thing as they said both Virginia Virginia
34:17
Speaker 25: Tech and their spring games. Tony elliott I was always
34:20
Speaker 25: something eloquent to say.
34:22
Speaker 21: He goes, the me season is over. It's now time
34:26
Speaker 21: for the Wei season.
34:27
Speaker 22: And the ME season is the time the season ends
34:29
Speaker 22: until the sign time they signed, whatever their agreement is,
34:32
Speaker 22: that's the ME season. And so you focus on what
34:35
Speaker 22: you feel like is best for you. But once you
34:37
Speaker 22: sign and we're back together as a team, it's the we.
34:40
Speaker 5: It's the we season.
34:41
Speaker 22: And then also to a challenge the staff to approach
34:45
Speaker 22: it like their their own sons.
34:46
Speaker 25: Yeah great, now that you beat them up for you know,
34:49
Speaker 25: for fifteen practices and got in their ear and you know,
34:52
Speaker 25: rip them up one side and down the other.
34:54
Speaker 6: Now, treat them like the summer.
34:55
Speaker 1: You know.
34:56
Speaker 6: I was talking about this with a dear friend of mine,
34:58
Speaker 6: a member of the Virginia House of Elegans, used to
35:00
Speaker 6: play football in Central Virginia, and he was talking about
35:05
Speaker 6: some of the kids he played with going through high school,
35:08
Speaker 6: and I said, you know it, I always cautioned people
35:11
Speaker 6: my high school. I joke about the fact that Jordan
35:14
Speaker 6: Belfort and Eric Adams both went to high school with me.
35:17
Speaker 6: But our high school football team lost two times in
35:21
Speaker 6: four years and two city championship wins, two city championship losses.
35:26
Speaker 6: Never missed the fact that they were in the city
35:28
Speaker 6: championship game. Put exactly one player in the on Sundays,
35:35
Speaker 6: you know. Put a bunch of them into college, a
35:37
Speaker 6: bunch of them, a bunch of these you know, inner
35:38
Speaker 6: city kids who got an opportunity to go to Cornell, Iowa.
35:44
Speaker 6: You know, a lot of big time schools got players,
35:47
Speaker 6: but these kids went and got business degrees, got architectural degrees,
35:52
Speaker 6: got medical degrees, and they made something out of this
35:56
Speaker 6: opportunity to play football. But only one of them ever,
35:59
Speaker 6: you know, played any significant time on Sundays. And so
36:03
Speaker 6: you know, all these kids who are playing high school sports.
36:05
Speaker 6: You've got to remember that. You know, you're you're living
36:09
Speaker 6: the last chapter of your autobiography sometimes.
36:13
Speaker 25: And and so I agree because I and Joe that
36:17
Speaker 25: you're so eloquent saying that, And that's exactly and that's
36:20
Speaker 25: why I love what Tony Elliott says.
36:21
Speaker 21: Okay, get your contracts down, get your nail stuff, get
36:24
Speaker 21: that out.
36:24
Speaker 25: Of the way, Okay, because now we're gonna we're gonna
36:27
Speaker 25: move ahead, and we're gonna be.
36:28
Speaker 21: A football team. We're gonna learn how to play ex'es
36:30
Speaker 21: and os.
36:31
Speaker 6: You want to play for a college football championship, whether
36:34
Speaker 6: it be the ACC or the SEC or who you know,
36:36
Speaker 6: Big Pac twelve. You know that's that may be the
36:39
Speaker 6: highlight of your football life.
36:41
Speaker 1: Yeah.
36:42
Speaker 25: And so now they and after the season that Virginia had,
36:45
Speaker 25: especially you know, texts in a different situation. But it's
36:49
Speaker 25: time to see if you can repeat. You know, you've
36:51
Speaker 25: played well, Now see if you can keep it going.
36:53
Speaker 21: So saying anyway, it was a fun weekend. Hope you
36:55
Speaker 21: had a good time.

Speaker 6: He's there. He used to be vice president and then
37:35
Speaker 6: he invented climate change in the internet. It's what. It's
37:40
Speaker 6: what the former vice president doesn't have algorithm. But but
37:45
Speaker 6: you know, sport does inform and in sometimes the safest
37:49

Speaker 3: It's on.
44:15
Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First Thing Today on the Tunk
44:20
Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
44:24
Speaker 6: You know, in the post Eric Swalwell world, this two
44:27
Speaker 6: Pac song takes on a whole different meaning, doesn't it.
44:30
Speaker 6: But for our purposes this morning, it's it's about changing
44:36
Speaker 6: the rules in the middle of the game because you've
44:38
Speaker 6: fallen behind. Wouldn't that be kind of cool if you
44:40
Speaker 6: could do that during the Super Bowl? What do you
44:42
Speaker 6: think Draft Kings or MGM Sportsbook would do if like
44:47
Speaker 6: the NFL could hold a halftime meeting and saying, you know,
44:52
Speaker 6: there's just not enough points scoring. Let's make it you know,
44:54
Speaker 6: being within five yards of the receiver of penalty and
44:58
Speaker 6: see if we can't open up the score a little bit.
45:00
Speaker 6: But that's what they want to do in Virginia and
45:03
Speaker 6: joining us former aide to Ronald Reagan and George Allen.
45:09
Speaker 6: Then he decided he really wanted to ruin his life
45:12
Speaker 6: and he became a radio show host and a TV
45:14
Speaker 6: news anchor. But he's a good friend of the program,
45:17
Speaker 6: John Reid. He's been out there trying to make the
45:20
Speaker 6: case for and against the ballot initiative driven redistracting. John,
45:26
Speaker 6: how are you doing this morning, sir?
45:29
Speaker 23: I'm good that I tell you your analogy is not
45:31
Speaker 23: far off. I just think it would be better if
45:33
Speaker 23: you said that the opposing team could only have high
45:38
Speaker 23: school players while you pick college players, or instead of
45:42
Speaker 23: having a full roster, you can only have half the
45:45
Speaker 23: roster of everybody else. And that's what this jerrymandering does.
45:48
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's eleven five.
45:51
Speaker 23: It's crazy.
45:53
Speaker 6: So a listener texted me this morning and wanted to
45:56
Speaker 6: know why he was getting inundated with these ads about
45:59
Speaker 6: the Virginia redistricting, and the punchline to it is he
46:03
Speaker 6: listens to us in Minneapolis, so we're not you know,
46:06
Speaker 6: the Democrats aren't trying to get Minnesotans to vote in
46:09
Speaker 6: our redistricting, are they, John.
46:12
Speaker 23: They are trying to get money, So I'm surprised money
46:16
Speaker 23: add But you know, this is this is an important
46:19
Speaker 23: thing that everybody needs to know. It used to be
46:22
Speaker 23: that politicians would draw these lines and they could kind
46:25
Speaker 23: of guess where their votes were based on precincts. Now
46:29
Speaker 23: with specificity, these really partisan hacks can go in and
46:35
Speaker 23: draw lines through neighborhoods. They use social media data in
46:41
Speaker 23: addition to the regular data of who votes in which
46:43
Speaker 23: which primary, and they can systematically cut out the possibility
46:49
Speaker 23: of anyone challenging them successfully. And if you're an American
46:54
Speaker 23: who does believe that every vote should count and everyone
46:58
Speaker 23: should have a voice on election day and those voices
47:01
Speaker 23: should be represented in the Congress, that's why you got
47:04
Speaker 23: a vote no, even if you're a Democrat, because this
47:07
Speaker 23: is the epitome of rigging the system so that you
47:12
Speaker 23: silence the minority. And all those people who are out
47:14
Speaker 23: marching around for No King's Day are the same people
47:19
Speaker 23: who are pushing the vote Yes movement to try to
47:23
Speaker 23: crush other people's votes. So they're being called out now
47:26
Speaker 23: as total hyppocrits.
47:28
Speaker 6: Well, you know, and you mentioned the money, and I
47:30
Speaker 6: think this is going to be an interesting outcome. And
47:32
Speaker 6: I was reading some of the quote unquote learned analysis
47:36
Speaker 6: from the Virginia the University of Virginia Center for Politics.
47:40
Speaker 6: It's Larry Sabado and his crystal ball. He said, oh,
47:43
Speaker 6: it may be a point, maybe two points, but he
47:47
Speaker 6: thinks that vote Yes is going to win, because of
47:49
Speaker 6: course he does. And it's funny because he's one of
47:53
Speaker 6: those ardent you know, constitutionalists supposedly, but he wants the
47:57
Speaker 6: things we've drawn just for the same reason all the
47:59
Speaker 6: other people have put aside previous statements like Abigail Spenberger
48:04
Speaker 6: on redistricting because Trump it's all Trump derangement syndrome. And
48:09
Speaker 6: he but my thought as I'm looking at this analysis, saying, okay,
48:13
Speaker 6: let's say Yes wins the day fifty two percent to
48:17
Speaker 6: forty eight percent. They spent by last quarters, tallies sixty
48:22
Speaker 6: four million dollars in advertising, both you know, mailers and internet.
48:27
Speaker 6: Oh gosh, the internet companies are getting wealthy off this.
48:31
Speaker 6: And TV ads to twenty million dollars for the vote No.
48:34
Speaker 6: Campaign and you're going to eke out a one percentage
48:37
Speaker 6: point win after spending three times the amount of money.
48:41
Speaker 6: I just think that that is indicative of exactly what's
48:46
Speaker 6: going on here.
48:48
Speaker 23: Well, it should tell everybody something. This isn't just about Virginia.
48:53
Speaker 23: This is about control of the country. And the Democrats
48:56
Speaker 23: are beginning to become so arrogant that they don't even
49:00
Speaker 23: censor themselves anymore. They're not worried about how you'll react.
49:04
Speaker 23: I mean, they are basically saying, we're gonna take over Virginia,
49:08
Speaker 23: lockstock and barrel. We don't care what rural Virginia has
49:11
Speaker 23: to say. You know your ruby red good. We'll just
49:15
Speaker 23: cut you off and we'll treat you like dirt. We
49:17
Speaker 23: don't care what you think. And then on a national level,
49:21
Speaker 23: they are playing for keeps. They want to impeach President Trump,
49:24
Speaker 23: they want to do everything they can to overturn what
49:28
Speaker 23: we have grown up with as normal in the United States.
49:31
Speaker 23: I mean, as somebody who delved into politics last year,
49:34
Speaker 23: I can tell you the system right now is nothing
49:39
Speaker 23: like what I experienced working on campaigns twenty twenty five
49:42
Speaker 23: years ago. It is cutthroat. It is they are playing
49:46
Speaker 23: to take over the country and Virginia is ground zero.
49:50
Speaker 23: So investing sixty million dollars and winning all those extra
49:54
Speaker 23: seats and shutting down conservative voices in one of the
49:57
Speaker 23: most important states of the country, they pro think that's
50:00
Speaker 23: a really great bargain.
50:01
Speaker 6: Well, these people, you know, we used to make jokes
50:04
Speaker 6: you mentioned twenty years ago. I mean the joke used
50:06
Speaker 6: to be most of these people have never signed the
50:08
Speaker 6: front of a paycheck, so they knew nothing about business.
50:12
Speaker 6: There isn't a business on the planet whose business model
50:15
Speaker 6: is I'm going to pour, you know, sixty million dollars
50:19
Speaker 6: into something to gain one percentage point in the market
50:24
Speaker 6: that any business that tried that would be out of
50:27
Speaker 6: business in a year, regardless of whether they get bailed
50:30
Speaker 6: out by the government. Only in politics could this be
50:34
Speaker 6: a thing which to me indicates there's more money than
50:37
Speaker 6: just the sixty four million out there. It's it's the
50:42
Speaker 6: movement of economics, you know, to the things like the
50:47
Speaker 6: green solar adge and the wind farms, the solar panels
50:51
Speaker 6: and that kind of thing, the batteries, but also international
50:54
Speaker 6: trade and who's you know, pulling the levers of international
50:59
Speaker 6: trade and who's restricting access I mean, there's a lot
51:03
Speaker 6: of money that's not being spent on this that is
51:06
Speaker 6: going to be made by shadowy groups using American foreign
51:11
Speaker 6: policy to their benefit if they can do.
51:14
Speaker 23: It American foreign policy and American taxpayer dollars. And this
51:19
Speaker 23: is the problem with the government that's gotten as big
51:22
Speaker 23: as it has is there are trillions of dollars at
51:25
Speaker 23: stake here, and Democrats have figured out that they can
51:29
Speaker 23: bake the trap by telling people if you vote for us,
51:33
Speaker 23: we will increase taxes.
51:35
Speaker 1: And what are you going to do about it?
51:36
Speaker 23: Nobody can do anything about it. And if it's a
51:38
Speaker 23: one party state, you will never have anyone tap the
51:41
Speaker 23: brakes on taxes. They will blow this thing out, just
51:45
Speaker 23: like they've done in California. And if you run a
51:48
Speaker 23: business in Virginia, even a small popsicle stand, get ready
51:52
Speaker 23: because you're going to be obliterated with taxes, and that
51:56
Speaker 23: money is not going to go to solving problems. It's
51:59
Speaker 23: going to go to the friends and family members of Democrats.
52:03
Speaker 23: I don't know how many more times people need to
52:06
Speaker 23: see this work in reality before they accept that this
52:11
Speaker 23: is corruption that we are inviting into the state. It's
52:15
Speaker 23: good to have two parties constantly checking each other, battling
52:20
Speaker 23: over ideas, trying to come up with the best ideas.
52:23
Speaker 23: But you are living through a revolution. I would say
52:27
Speaker 23: it's non violent, but that's not true because we've seen
52:30
Speaker 23: violence for ten years from Antifa and BLM and all
52:33
Speaker 23: the Democrat Front groups. So you're living through a revolution
52:36
Speaker 23: right now, and if we don't stop it on Tuesday,
52:40
Speaker 23: it's going to engulf us and take us over.
52:43
Speaker 6: John Reid, It's the Read Revolution is his podcast, and he,
52:48
Speaker 6: like I, based here in the crazy state of Virginia.
52:52
Speaker 6: You know, it's true.
52:53
Speaker 18: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
52:56
Speaker 18: to think about what matters most when it comes to
52:58
Speaker 18: our spending our healthcare. This is why so many people
53:01
Speaker 18: are joining meta share right now. Metashare is a trusted
53:05
Speaker 18: way to save up to fifty percent on your monthly
53:08
Speaker 18: healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people have already
53:11
Speaker 18: made the switch. It's pretty obvious why too, especially now
53:15
Speaker 18: during this challenging season with health care costs and out
53:18
Speaker 18: of pocket expenses going up. Metashare can save you a
53:21
Speaker 18: lot of money. The typical family saves five hundred dollars
53:24
Speaker 18: a month Medashare works too. It's been around for thirty years.
53:28
Speaker 18: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
53:31
Speaker 18: other's bills. There are different options to choose from to
53:33
Speaker 18: fit your budget. I'll give you the number here in
53:35
Speaker 18: a second, and if you call, you can get a
53:37
Speaker 18: price within two minutes. Maybe now is the perfect time
53:41
Speaker 18: to make the switch and start saving. Here you go
53:44
Speaker 18: call eight five five share forty. That's eight five five
53:47
Speaker 18: share forty, eight five five share forty
