  Speaker 8: and that's why I named it.
• 1:31
  Speaker 6: I ain't playing, so you know, where do you?
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Where did it start? I mean, I'm always fascinated by
• 1:37
  Speaker 2: people because we all have some humor. Well, all right,
• 1:41
  Speaker 2: most of us have some humor in it in us
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: and others are just destined to be the foil for
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: those of us who do have humor, I hope. But
• 1:51
  Speaker 2: you know, when did it first get to you that
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: you were somebody that not only has humor and could
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: see things but also could make them come across to
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: an audience, which I feel like is the rubicon that
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: funny people need to cross in order to be a comic.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Oh, it started as a childhood.
• 2:14
  Speaker 7: Man.
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: I've been funny all my life, just never really took
• 2:16
  Speaker 8: it serious until people kept saying, hey, man, you need
• 2:19
  Speaker 8: to go on stage.
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: You need to go on stage. And I never paid
• 2:21
  Speaker 6: the attention to that.
• 2:22
  Speaker 8: And of course I was a big fan of Bill Cosby,
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: and I was a big fan of Red Box and
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: Richard Pryor. Well, my main comedian who I used to
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: love was Milton Borough. People thought I was crazy, but
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: Uncle Milton was a I mean, he was one of
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: the best comedians ever seen in my life, especially when
• 2:37
  Speaker 8: you see the Dean Monrose. You see Dean mon Rose,
• 2:40
  Speaker 8: they would talk about Uncle Milton, but when he get up,
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: he talked about the whole panel and he was excellent.
• 2:46
  Speaker 8: But it started, man, it started with me as a
• 2:48
  Speaker 8: child church clown, class clown, neighborhood clowns.
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: I been had it. I just took it serious when
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: I got older.
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: I hang out a second of Bruce. We've got to
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: tell everyone what's been going on in the world here

• 8:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26

• 8:31
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 12: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 12: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 12: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 12: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 12: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes

• 10:21
  Speaker 12: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 12: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 12: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 12: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 12: perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 12: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
• 10:38
  Speaker 12: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:41
  Speaker 12: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 10:44
  Speaker 12: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
• 10:47
  Speaker 12: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

  Speaker 2: All right, all right, all right, But his name is
• 13:40
  Speaker 2: Bruce and he goes by Bruce.
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: Bruce.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: I ain't playing is the name of the comedy special
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: on on Netflix, and we're gonna watch it tonight. That
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: missus and I so I wanted to catch up with you.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: In our modern world is this question of can we
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: be funny?
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: Actually?
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: I think there was a documentary produced can we be
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: funny Anymore? Because there's such a I almost call it
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: an offense culture that if you make a joke about
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: you know something I do. Dads, whoever it is, there's
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: going to be righteous indignation rather than introspection saying, hey,
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: maybe are we doing that? You know, how do you
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: how do you get out on that tightrope? Or is
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: it just from I was reading in your bio earlier
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: in your career, you booked yourself into specifically all white
• 14:32
  Speaker 2: nightclubs to challenge yourself, so you weren't just you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: working to one segment of the population. Is that, you know,
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: important to challenge yourself into the into the jokes you're
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: writing and the comedy that you're putting together.
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: Yes, it is.
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: And I did challenge myself and I did do that,
• 14:49
  Speaker 8: and I did that purposely because in the blackhood, in
• 14:52
  Speaker 8: the black neighborhood, I can make any about it, LAMB,
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: but I think funny, it's funny. I don't care if
• 14:57
  Speaker 8: you black, white Latino agents. So I went to the
• 14:59
  Speaker 8: white clothes, see can.
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: I make them laugh?
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: And actually it was absolutely better than the black clubs.
• 15:04
  Speaker 8: So I just test myself to be like you remember
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: Flip Wilson, Oh god, yes, yeah, Flint Wilson didn't have
• 15:11
  Speaker 8: a black show. He had a variety show for everybody.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: So you usually saw Bill Cosby with Andy Griffin, with
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: Don Nuts with Red Fox, you know, Richard Prye with
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: with Milton Borough. I mean, and I seen Ed Sullivan
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: on this show one time. So you know, that's the
• 15:26
  Speaker 8: kind of statement I was trying to make. When I
• 15:29
  Speaker 8: do comedy, I want everybody to love it.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anyone who thinks Medea is groundbreaking, he's got to
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: see Geraldine there. So is there going to be a
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: tour to follow this or I guess because this is
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: the way these things go. This was shot at the
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: culmination of a tour.
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: Oh, absolutely definitely. Tour is coming, so everybody better get ready.
• 15:49
  Speaker 8: But when I do this tour, I just want everybody
• 15:51
  Speaker 8: to know it will not be the same material I
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: did on the Netflix specials. It'd be something totally different,
• 15:56
  Speaker 8: something new. It's something good.
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: How long does it take? I mean, do you do
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: you sit there and pour over the news or you
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: just walk around the streets and look for, you know,
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: the weird stuff people are doing.
• 16:07
  Speaker 6: That's exactly what I do. I walk around.
• 16:09
  Speaker 8: When I come to your city, I go to the
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: mall and people watch and I sit there and watch
• 16:13
  Speaker 8: and I learn stuff about that city. And do when
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: I go on state judges, do it when you got it,
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: you just got it, Bruce, Bruce.
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: And the special is called I ain't playing. So all
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: this traveling, all these times. So what are the commonalities?
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: Because I say, you know we're ninety percent alike. You know,
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: our daughters pick on us, our wives tolerate us.
• 16:39
  Speaker 6: You know that that kind of thing.
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: Where are those common roots when you walk around and
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: you know, it doesn't matter if it's a sixty year old,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: a forty year old, a twenty year old. We might
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: not think we're doing it, but that you see us
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: doing and we do it.
• 16:54
  Speaker 6: But see, we tolerate the women too.
• 16:56
  Speaker 8: Now you say they tolerate us, but we tolerate them
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: too because women are something serious to deal with. But
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: I know you know that, Oh yeah, you know what
• 17:03
  Speaker 8: I'm saying. So so we have to just stay on
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: our p's and q's. And then you know you talked about,
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: you know, basically offending people.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: It's either two things gonna happen. You neither gonna work
• 17:13
  Speaker 6: or it's not gonna work.
• 17:13
  Speaker 8: You're not gonna please everybody, but trust me when I
• 17:16
  Speaker 8: tell you you've pleased.
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: Note A percent of everybody. You know.
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: What I got from you, Bruce, is that that you
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: believe that it's in the telling of the joke. It's
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: not the content of the joke. It's in the telegraphe
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: is that.
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: It It is that it is, man, and it's how
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: you say it. You know, I would never mess with
• 17:35
  Speaker 8: anybody in the audience and they got a lazy eye.
• 17:37
  Speaker 6: I would never do that.
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: I would never say, man, you need to do some
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: eye ups, you know about fifty a day work.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: You know, we could obviously you have the joke in
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: your repertoire if you did.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: But absolutely, absolutely, but I wouldn't do it. So, you know,
• 17:51
  Speaker 6: I just keep it clean and keep it good and
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: keep everybody happy. Well, then the you know.
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: And I remember when I think and I was on
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: the air when woke culture was born, and it started
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: when Molly Ringwald took I guess was being interviewed about
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: something maybe it was the anniversary of the Breakfast Club,
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: and she said that she she renounced her role in
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: the movie because of some of the stereotypes that showed.
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: And I just remember the outcry after that, saying, then
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: you missed the point of the movie. The whole point
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: of the movie was to show these stereotypes and how
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: that they're not real. And I guess that's a hard
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: thing in art, is so much of it relies on
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: the eye of the beholder, that that you have to
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: you just have to be confident in what you're saying,
• 18:38
  Speaker 2: don't you, Bruce?
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: Absolutely, absolutely, and just do it, man, be like Nike,
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: just do it.
• 18:46
  Speaker 4: Well.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. And so it's on Netflix now and
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: people can watch it anytime phone, you know, wherever you
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: may be. Do you like working with those folks?
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: I like working with any about it on Netflix was excellent.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: I can't. I got to give them two thumbs up.
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: They're really good well and they do a good job
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: of making sure comedians get their stage there and almost
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: better than Rodney Dangerfield because you had to fly to
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: New York to go to Dangerfields. You can stay in
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: your living room. Where's where's your favorite place you've ever performed?
• 19:18
  Speaker 6: Just before we leave every single place I've ever been to.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: I get in love everywhere I go.
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: Uh see. Now, you know people blame me for being
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: a Pollyanna. Now I'm gonna put you.
• 19:28
  Speaker 6: In the club.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: I appreciate it. Bruce, Thank you. Sir god Bless, do
• 19:31

• 19:48
  Speaker 2: watching it. Absolutely, thank you, sir god bless. Four three
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: four eight A two for one seven. That is our
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: phone number. Four three four eight eight two for two
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: one seven. Yeah, you can have a little fun as well,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: but you have to see, this is the thing people say,
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: well how do you do? And I talk and I
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: talked to folks who almost monomoniacally. All they do is
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: dig in and and there you gotta punplug. Even our
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: friend John Sutz, who is perhaps as dedicated a researcher
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: as there is. You know what his main passion is dogs.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: He had a wonderful rescue dog that rescued him as well.
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, he wrote a book about her.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: Uh there, if you go to John Suttz dot com
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: you can get the book about Shana. And I met her.
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: She was an awesome massive, just big almost almost like
• 20:50
  Speaker 2: a sci fi creature. Of black air and and love.
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: But you know, his his real passion is keeping dogs
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: safe from you know, heat exposure and getting left in
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: cars and things like that. So you have to have
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: those other things. You know, Maybe we don't need to
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: be as on the spectrum as Thomas Jefferson was in
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: terms of I'm going to try everything, But there was
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: a point. I mean, you can take the Jeffersonian model
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: and work it into your repertoire as much as your
• 21:26
  Speaker 2: schedule permits. The reason, Oh, who was the congressman that
• 21:34
  Speaker 2: was first sworn in on a copy of the Qoran?
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: And it was Jefferson's copy of the Qoran? Was it
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: Hookim jeff No, it wasn't. It was somebody much much older,
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: much longer ago than I remember the controversy over it.
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: But it was Jefferson's copy of the Kuran. Why did
• 21:51
  Speaker 2: he get it? Because he had sent marines off to
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: fight in Tripoli and wanted to know a little bit
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: more about what this religion was they were fighting for.
• 22:01

  Speaker 2: But here's the thing that one hundred and.
• 22:14
  Speaker 18: Fifty minutes does not need to be super intense. As

• 24:31
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

• 28:17
  Speaker 1: need to know the first thing today.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Granddaddy always said, if you got a problem you can't solve,
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: helps to get out of your head.
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: Pie.
• 28:24
  Speaker 6: It's good pie. Yeah.
• 28:31
  Speaker 2: I appreciate the members of the constituency that have come
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: to my defense over cheddar cheese on apple pie, because
• 28:42
  Speaker 2: you know, sometimes I get out on an island, even
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: in my own family, where I learned this from my
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: uncle regarding you know, having cheddar cheese. Andy writes in
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: Beecher is a great cheddar. Apple pie, he writes, is
• 28:56
  Speaker 2: the best pie all American. The peculiary snow and me
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: is with you on the cheddar. I am told that
• 29:03
  Speaker 2: culturally the difference is New England versus the rest of
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: the United States, which may very well be there. But
• 29:12
  Speaker 2: on this pie day, so far, it's a mixed bag
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: key lime than the apple pie, the cherry pie, the
• 29:21
  Speaker 2: kirschwasher torte, which I guess just got in there because
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: it's fun to say. And one vote for pecan pie,
• 29:30
  Speaker 2: but only if I say pee can, which makes everyone snicker.
• 29:34
  Speaker 2: They're a friend of mine from the Virginia General Assembly
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: just told me something astounding and it ties in to
• 29:40
  Speaker 2: what we were talking about earlier with Congress and not
• 29:45
  Speaker 2: the part where it's ironically connected to the phrase congress
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: from the Kamis Sutra. But there is a similarity. But
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: they never leave a fifty dollars bill on your dresser.
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: Tom Garrett from the Virginia General Assembly is on the
• 29:58
  Speaker 2: newsmaker's line with us. What bill did the Virginia General
• 30:02
  Speaker 2: Assembly just pass allowing members of the General Assembly and
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: the Virginia government to do.
• 30:10
  Speaker 4: So?
• 30:10
  Speaker 24: It's another attack on the Bill of Rights from Saddam Salim.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: And that's actually a name. That's actually the name of
• 30:20
  Speaker 2: a member of the Virginia General Assembly. If you don't know, so, okay,
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: go ahead.
• 30:24
  Speaker 24: The guy named a guy named Saddam unsatatic way your guns.
• 30:27
  Speaker 24: What could possibly go wrong in any event?
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: This one, he's systematically.
• 30:33
  Speaker 24: Try to gut the first, second, and fourth Amendment all
• 30:36
  Speaker 24: in one fell slew this session. So this one would
• 30:40
  Speaker 24: allow a politician to sue anyone for enshoying theer if the.
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: Politician alleges that the person is publishing.
• 30:53
  Speaker 24: To famatory material allegedly that's a very important word, toflamatory material,
• 30:58
  Speaker 24: no limit. Now, I had a bill that was to
• 31:01
  Speaker 24: prohibit a political campaign from using AI that was false
• 31:05
  Speaker 24: against another political campaign, and so too the Gray Cousins,
• 31:08
  Speaker 24: a Democrat for Richmond, so they're in the majority. They
• 31:11
  Speaker 24: rolled my villain to hers, then they said, I'm Saladin's
• 31:15
  Speaker 24: bill over.
• 31:17
  Speaker 4: They rolled our bill into his. Then they put it
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: an amendment at the last minute. But listen to this.
• 31:22
  Speaker 24: Thirty days in port election, any allegedly defamatory communication may
• 31:28
  Speaker 24: be immediately enjoyed at the request of a candidate for
• 31:32
  Speaker 24: political office, on the allegation that it contains the daminatory material.
• 31:36
  Speaker 24: And this is some Darkodian stuff like the language of
• 31:38
  Speaker 24: the April twenty first Amendment, so as to ensure the
• 31:42
  Speaker 24: voters have accurate and clear information.
• 31:44
  Speaker 4: Now let's just tear this to pieces a little bit.
• 31:48
  Speaker 24: So let's say swift Vote Veterans for Truth were running
• 31:53
  Speaker 24: as against John Carey, and they were effective.
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: And to this date never refuted.
• 32:00
  Speaker 24: John Kerry could have, under this law alleged they were defamatory.
• 32:04
  Speaker 24: Don't have to prove it, called into a court, and
• 32:07
  Speaker 24: the court would have sent swift boat bets. You're not
• 32:09
  Speaker 24: allowed to say that for the next thirty days. Now,
• 32:12
  Speaker 24: let's say we fast forward to after the election and
• 32:15
  Speaker 24: we find out that everything that was being said was true,
• 32:18
  Speaker 24: doesn't matter. You can't unelect John oss Off for Rafael Warnock,
• 32:23
  Speaker 24: right they're in. So ultimately this is the most egregious
• 32:29
  Speaker 24: attack on political speech, which comes from the same General
• 32:34
  Speaker 24: Assembly that this very session has told our public schools
• 32:38
  Speaker 24: you must teach X, Y and Z with regard to gender,
• 32:42
  Speaker 24: climate and January sixth specifically delving into what the curriculum
• 32:46
  Speaker 24: must contain.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: But the most dangerous part is and you may not
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: discuss A, B and C with regard to these issues.
• 32:54
  Speaker 24: So they've established a dogma for our students that you
• 32:59
  Speaker 24: may not counter watch what's going on in ol Marle
• 33:02
  Speaker 24: County right now with the USA and spuild it on
• 33:04
  Speaker 24: the board and spookboard, and they've said politicians can shut
• 33:08
  Speaker 24: up anyone who has there's an imbalance of resources.
• 33:11
  Speaker 4: On top of all of this.
• 33:12
  Speaker 24: It invites forum shopping and court shopping, Joe, because if
• 33:15
  Speaker 24: I'm running for governor, I can sue you in whatever
• 33:18
  Speaker 24: locality I want, knowing what the bench looks like. There
• 33:21
  Speaker 24: wow taking an outcome. So this is this is beyond Orwellian.
• 33:27
  Speaker 24: I know that politicians use hyperbolity get people fired up,
• 33:31
  Speaker 24: but like this is like hod your kids sort of.
• 33:35
  Speaker 4: They want to put you up against the wall.
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: So so if let's just say my name was I
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: don't know, pick a name out of random, Mitt Romney,
• 33:44
  Speaker 2: and somebody took to I don't know, someplace public, like
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: the floor of the US Senate and said, I heard
• 33:50
  Speaker 2: that this Mitt Romney person has never paid his taxes.
• 33:53
  Speaker 2: Why doesn't somebody ask that? You know, I could, I
• 33:57
  Speaker 2: could actually sue that person. Or because that person was
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: a Democrat, you can't.
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: Sue that person because of the speech and debate clause.
• 34:06
  Speaker 24: Right, So the politicians have protected their right to say
• 34:09
  Speaker 24: things that are patently.
• 34:10
  Speaker 4: And mons from the false.
• 34:12
  Speaker 24: The politicians have protected and I would I should have
• 34:15
  Speaker 24: had Democrat politicians, right, because when you make the rules,
• 34:18
  Speaker 24: you also get to do what enforce the rules.
• 34:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so you selective enforcement. I mean this honestly.
• 34:25
  Speaker 24: I mean it's actually scary and frankly because I'm pretty
• 34:29
  Speaker 24: good at what I do and calling bull.
• 34:31
  Speaker 4: Crap on some of their stuff, and I've decided I'm
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: going to.
• 34:33
  Speaker 24: Tell the truth as boldly as they will lie. So
• 34:36
  Speaker 24: I'm a target. But whatever, I mean, better people have
• 34:39
  Speaker 24: died for worse things than freedom. This is incredible. And
• 34:44
  Speaker 24: here's a kicker, Joe, here's a kicker who's signed.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: And the Democrats voted as a party to advance this
• 34:50
  Speaker 4: legislation's party line vote. Who has signed that. You suppose
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: the ACLU is.
• 34:54
  Speaker 2: On Democrats, they're on my side.
• 34:59
  Speaker 24: You can work with the ACOU is like, this is horrible,
• 35:01
  Speaker 24: And I'm like, well, stop, clock is right. Twice a
• 35:03
  Speaker 24: day I told you, I told Ray Cousins. I said, Ray,
• 35:07
  Speaker 24: you can be with the American Civil Liberties Union or
• 35:09
  Speaker 24: you could be with the Democrat caucus, but you can't
• 35:11
  Speaker 24: be with both.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Wow.
• 35:13
  Speaker 2: That's a that's that's say something. If the Democrats have
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: found a way to drive the ACLU to the other side.
• 35:21
  Speaker 24: When the ACLU is siding with Garrett, you know, the
• 35:23
  Speaker 24: Democrats have jumped the shark.
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: It is. It is literally indefensible. They don't care. They
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: do not care.
• 35:30
  Speaker 24: You see again, it's allegedly defamatory material. And oh, by
• 35:34
  Speaker 24: the way, the injunctive relief saw it takes precedent over
• 35:39
  Speaker 24: everything else in that court room. So let's say they
• 35:41
  Speaker 24: choose Alexandria does maybe a friendly bench there and there's
• 35:44
  Speaker 24: a murder trial going on, a terrorism trial, a rape
• 35:47
  Speaker 24: trial that goes on hold while Governor span Berger and
• 35:50
  Speaker 24: this is hypathetical, sues a blogger who made a meme
• 35:56
  Speaker 24: in his mile's basement for a joinder unbelieva, because there's
• 36:00
  Speaker 24: nothing more important than us, right, these politicians?
• 36:02
  Speaker 6: What you know?
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: And that that speaks also to a bigger abstract, which
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: is my precious. This is the don't don't say anything
• 36:09
  Speaker 2: defamatory that might make me lose my precious, even if
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: it is saying, hey, what about these three hundred thousand
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: ballots we found in Fulton County, Georgia. If if you
• 36:21
  Speaker 2: simply and and the thing I worry about it is
• 36:23
  Speaker 2: there are you a tax?
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: Democracy show? Right?
• 36:25
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, the democratic value.
• 36:27
  Speaker 24: Yesterday we had a bill yesterday come through on a
• 36:30
  Speaker 24: party line vote to increase the ease of automatic voter registration.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: Oh god, what's next?
• 36:36
  Speaker 4: Automatic voting voting? Yeah?
• 36:38
  Speaker 24: Well, hey, I says that Joe and as bride are
• 36:41
  Speaker 24: going to vote this way, so why should we make
• 36:43
  Speaker 24: them go do it?
• 36:44
  Speaker 4: We'll just vote for it. We're one step away from that.
• 36:46
  Speaker 24: Well, if you read need to go over to Delegate
• 36:48
  Speaker 24: Tom Garrett on Facebook or Tom Garrett Jr.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: On TikTok or whatever and.
• 36:53
  Speaker 24: Check out the speech, because I think I succinctly encapsulated.
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: It there better than I have here. But like, this
• 36:59
  Speaker 4: is like, it's beyond Orwellian.
• 37:02
  Speaker 24: So we have people who, in the name of defending democracy,
• 37:06
  Speaker 24: are destroying free speech right in the name of defending life,
• 37:10
  Speaker 24: which is laughable coming from the liberals. Right, they're destroying
• 37:14
  Speaker 24: our natural law right to self defense. This is Borwellian
• 37:17
  Speaker 24: freedom of slavery. Slavery is freedom. I mean, this is
• 37:20
  Speaker 24: can It would be funny except it's real.
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: And that's the scary thing is I mean, there are
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: people probably hearing this in California saying, Wow, I'm glad
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: we're more conservative than they are.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: We're worse than California right now. And I've had a
• 37:32
  Speaker 4: theory about that for years.
• 37:34
  Speaker 24: Where you have a seventy thirty Democrat chamber, but you
• 37:37
  Speaker 24: can get as actual debated descent among the Democrats because
• 37:40
  Speaker 24: of the supermajority.
• 37:41
  Speaker 4: But when you get nineteen to twenty one in.
• 37:43
  Speaker 24: The Virginia Senate, they are told by leadership and willingly comply,
• 37:47
  Speaker 24: like the little fascists that they are, you will vote
• 37:51
  Speaker 24: this way, period. And this has happened twice once on
• 37:54
  Speaker 24: a photo speeding bill where we defeated it and they
• 37:57
  Speaker 24: brought it back the next day, and every single Democrat
• 38:00
  Speaker 24: I think, save two or three.

• 38:17
  Speaker 14: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
• 38:20
  Speaker 14: recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
• 38:25
  Speaker 14: the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has

• 44:32
  Speaker 2: Is really quite ferocious.
• 44:33
  Speaker 4: It's right.
• 44:34
  Speaker 25: I have to take the lines and makes them sound
• 44:36
  Speaker 25: prepocious for seeing them in.
• 44:37
  Speaker 20: Congress or and mainstream out that.
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: So this information's origins a slightly loss atrocious.
• 44:44
  Speaker 6: It's how you had a delighted lie.
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: It's how you had a little So I was just
• 44:49
  Speaker 2: talking with former Congressman Tom Garrett on this. It's an
• 44:55
  Speaker 2: amazing place. And if you're joining us in progress, virgin
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: has passed a bill and it's on its way to
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: the governor's desk. I think I got to ask Tom,
• 45:05
  Speaker 2: but that basically says politicians can sue you, but you
• 45:09
  Speaker 2: can't sue politicians because of sovereign immunity, et cetera. And
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: that you know, if you say something that they don't
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: like or they say you can't prove Tom, if I
• 45:23
  Speaker 2: understand this bill correctly, they can sue you to stop
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: you from making those statements.
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: At fifty five to forty four or something like that.
• 45:33
  Speaker 24: And they went on a thirty minute recess and every
• 45:36
  Speaker 24: single one of the twenty seven Democrat no.
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: Votes came back in and changed their vote. I don't know.
• 45:40
  Speaker 24: I wasn't in the room, but I bet it was
• 45:42
  Speaker 24: because they were told to. You talked about fiscal responsibility.
• 45:45
  Speaker 24: How about we just have one democratic age chamber says
• 45:48
  Speaker 24: they don't think for themselves anyway, we can save a
• 45:51
  Speaker 24: lot of money on salary.
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: For dve et cetera.
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: Tom Garrett on with us and a member of the
• 45:57
  Speaker 2: Virginia General Assembly who's just voted. Now, is this all
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: the way?
• 46:00
  Speaker 6: All right?
• 46:01
  Speaker 2: So the bill is that any elected official or is
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: that any member of the government, like if you're the head.
• 46:08
  Speaker 4: Of aybody running for office?
• 46:10
  Speaker 6: Anybody?
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: Any politician, okay, politician. So here's the thing.
• 46:14
  Speaker 24: It would theoretically be for a brand if at least
• 46:17
  Speaker 24: we said, hey, Tom Garrett wants to see somebody, he
• 46:19
  Speaker 24: has to pick a circuit court in the fifty sixth district.
• 46:22
  Speaker 24: But no, it's pretty much based on my reading, and
• 46:25
  Speaker 24: I'm a pretty good lawyer four six four four four four,
• 46:30
  Speaker 24: But it's pretty much pick whatever court you want. And
• 46:32
  Speaker 24: but in line to the front for your.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: Injunctive, Really, isn't that a violation of my constitutionally protected
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: right to be tried by a jury of my peers
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: in the area where the offended.
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: A criminal charge.
• 46:46
  Speaker 24: This is how they do photo cameras, where they shift
• 46:48
  Speaker 24: the burden of proof from Innison until proven guilty and
• 46:51
  Speaker 24: guilty until proven innocent and station clause.
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: So a criminal charge and the civil charge.
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: So question, as a good lawyer, what was that phone number?
• 47:01
  Speaker 4: Again?
• 47:02
  Speaker 24: By the way, four A six nine four, Joe, have
• 47:06
  Speaker 24: you been injured in an accident? There was no fault
• 47:07
  Speaker 24: of your own four six nine four four.
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: Four for it.
• 47:14
  Speaker 24: But really just go check out Delegate Tom Garrett on
• 47:18
  Speaker 24: Facebook and uh, Tom Garrett, j you your own Tim
• 47:20
  Speaker 24: dot Tom drops bombs on YouTube. Here's We've had two
• 47:24
  Speaker 24: ethos this session, Joe in my office, all all two
• 47:28
  Speaker 24: of us. Number one, Uh, in order to win hearts
• 47:31
  Speaker 24: and minds, you must first capture eyes and ears. And
• 47:35
  Speaker 24: because the messaging from the Republican Party sucks and so
• 47:38
  Speaker 24: we decided to do it better. And number two, we
• 47:41
  Speaker 24: must be willing. If we want to win, we must
• 47:43
  Speaker 24: be willing to tell the truth as boldly as the
• 47:45
  Speaker 24: bad guys are willing to lie. There are things that
• 47:48
  Speaker 24: are patently and demonstrably true that members of my caucus don't.
• 47:52
  Speaker 4: Have the cojones to say. And I won't fall into
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: that trap. And if that costs me, so be it.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: I got to live one time.
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: So my question about this bill for number one, is
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: it is it already passed both houses on the way
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: to the governor's desk?
• 48:06
  Speaker 4: Yes, oh yeah, oh yeah, so on the way to
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: the governor.
• 48:10
  Speaker 2: This allows an elected official, a politician to sue somebody
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: for criticizing them, whether it's true or not. So my
• 48:18
  Speaker 2: question is, if you're an investigator and you're investigating, say,
• 48:22
  Speaker 2: voter fraud and allegations of phony ballots, can they sue
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: you to stop that investigation because it.
• 48:30
  Speaker 24: As sue you for inshult of relief within thirty days
• 48:34
  Speaker 24: of an election. Okay, So that means they can't stop
• 48:37
  Speaker 24: the investigator from investigating for eleven months the year, but
• 48:41
  Speaker 24: for the twelfth month that matters the most before the election.
• 48:44
  Speaker 24: You can investigate all you want, but you can't open
• 48:46
  Speaker 24: your mouth. It's a shut up bill. And I'll tell
• 48:50
  Speaker 24: you this has been tried in California and that I'm
• 48:53
  Speaker 24: fighting with Legislative Services at the General Assembly to do
• 48:56
  Speaker 24: my no political campaign shall use false AI against.
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: Another pledal campaign.
• 49:02
  Speaker 24: And they're like the free speech, free speech, which you know,
• 49:05
  Speaker 24: I don't want to attack LEGIAIY Services because they look
• 49:08
  Speaker 24: but the same Legisacay Services Department probably thinks it apparently
• 49:12
  Speaker 24: thinks it's okay to silence everyone. And I was trying
• 49:15
  Speaker 24: to have a time placemaner restrictions on speech with the
• 49:18
  Speaker 24: identified class politicians doing an identified action saying things that
• 49:22
  Speaker 24: weren't true about another identified class politicians, right, because one
• 49:26
  Speaker 24: of my friends lost a reelection rates to the Virginia
• 49:28
  Speaker 24: House of Delegates because the Democrats manufactured ai of his
• 49:32
  Speaker 24: voice going you know who I am, which you never said, right,
• 49:36
  Speaker 24: and got away with it. There at least three cases
• 49:39
  Speaker 24: last year where the Democrats definitely defined Republican candidates. And
• 49:43
  Speaker 24: I've spoken to very good defamation attorneys as well as
• 49:46
  Speaker 24: being pretty good lawyer myself, and everybody's like, well, you
• 49:49
  Speaker 24: win the lawsuit, but it's one hundred thousand dollars litigation
• 49:51
  Speaker 24: and you don't have quantifiable damages, so you could spend
• 49:54
  Speaker 24: one hundred thousand dollars.
• 49:55
  Speaker 2: To win one, right, and the elections, as as Harry
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: Reid said, and Mitt Romney didn't get like that anyway.
• 50:03
  Speaker 2: Tom It's it's stunning to me that we're in this
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: place there. I can only hope, but I doubt Abigail
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: Spanberger will veto this legislation. But I appreciate you.
• 50:18
  Speaker 4: The test run.
• 50:19
  Speaker 24: Virginia is ground zero and the pipe and a heart
• 50:21
  Speaker 24: and soul of America.
• 50:22
  Speaker 4: And this is a test run for bigger stages.
• 50:24
  Speaker 6: It's what this is and the reason.
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: And you know that may be a hit scratcher because
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: you say, well, Virginia is a purple you know it
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: just had a Republican governor. It's it's a test case
• 50:37
  Speaker 2: for what Tom said exactly at the onset. If you
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: have fifty one Democrats and forty nine Republicans, every Democrat
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: has to be in lockstep. And so the test is
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: really about power of party over person. The test is
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: is membership and the support of Democratic Party leadership more
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: valuable than your individual representation of your district. Now go
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: back to our conversation about Congress and earlier in the show,
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: and I brought up the Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen
• 51:11
  Speaker 2: twenty nine. You talk about how politicians kind of run
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: to the middle and they try to have it. Always
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: imagine trying to represent eight hundred thousand people. And I'm
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: not giving excuses to people like John Thune or anyone
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: who capitulates to the middle, but eight hundred thousand is
• 51:35
  Speaker 2: a lot of people, and it's easy to tell them
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: the truth. It's not always easy to tell them all
• 51:45
  Speaker 2: what they want to hear. And politicians need or are
• 51:50
  Speaker 2: told they have to tell their constituents what they want
• 51:53
  Speaker 2: to hear more frequently than they are told. So if
• 51:57
  Speaker 2: you reduce that number, you start getting more opportunities for
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: honest politicians who will tell you what's really what's up there.
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: That's amazing to me. I mean, it's Virginia is like California,
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: with shorter mountains and smaller beaches and more left wing
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: policies there. As Tom said in the other segment, you
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: know there it's eighty percent Democrat in the General Assembly,
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: so you actually have two Democratic parties.
• 52:25
  Speaker 6: Debating each other.
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: So you hold up a lot of the crazy stuff
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: here because it's you know, nobody can is allowed off
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: the reservation. It's a test. It is a test, and
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: you know we're like Atoll, Bikini Atoll. That dropped a
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: big one. Elizabeth, Hey, until Monday morning, have a great weekend,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: So long and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 14: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 14: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 14: California based chiropractor with more than thirty years of experience.
• 53:01
  Speaker 14: This compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  Speaker 14: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 14: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 14: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:16
  Speaker 14: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:20
  Speaker 14: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 14: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 14: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 14: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 14: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 14: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
• 53:38
  Speaker 14: and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
• 53:42
