  Speaker 3: Joe, thank you for letting me be of service to
• 0:34
  Speaker 3: you this morning.
• 0:36
  Speaker 8: I want to be.
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: That is the important phone number because you can text
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: message there. It's the most popular way of communication. I
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: try not to take it personally that you don't want
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: to speak to me rankly, but I know that mornings
• 0:54
  Speaker 3: are busy. It's a cacophony. Too many people in my
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: as well. I got more phone calls than you did. Well,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: you're also on at lunchtime, when people have more time
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: to call well apples and oranges. Mister loser, you know
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: we all want to call each other loser. That's that's
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: America in the beginning of the twenty first centuries. I
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: don't want to be a winner as much as I
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: want to point out that you're a loser. And from
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: that I will gain the you know we have the
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: iron age and the you know, bronze age. This is
• 1:24
  Speaker 3: the Shadenfreud age four three four eight eight two four
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: two one seven text message or phone call or email
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: JT in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Charles
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: writes in if gas prices are so intolerable parentheses, but
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: not still as high as they were under alleged President
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: Joe Biden, close parentheses, how come the travel protections for
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: this Memorial Day are the same as last year? In crying,
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: inquiring minds want to know, well, Charles and I did
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: see it. Can we call our trip like it would
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: call Morgan and see my triple A guy says their
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: projections are for a slight, a very slight downturn, but
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: nothing prodigious, nothing that would indicate a dollar fifty more
• 2:16
  Speaker 3: per gallon than you would. Now, that doesn't mean, you know,
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: without some of the airline carriers and things like that,
• 2:27
  Speaker 3: And I know a lot of folks still point to
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: the spirit airlines collapse and the airline fuel that it costs. Listen,
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: if you can't afford the airline fuel, then you probably
• 2:41
  Speaker 3: should be rethinking your place in an air travel business.
• 2:45
  Speaker 3: It's again, it's the excuse of the month club. It
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: had nothing to do with the actual issues involving Spirit airlines.
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: In any event, let's get into our first thing so
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: I can tell you what went on, and then we
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: can commence the conversession. Two police officers have sued to
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: block the IRS's proposed one point eight billion dollar compensation
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: fund as part of a plea agreement with President Donald
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: Trump so that victims of government weaponization and law fair
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: can tap in and be made whole again. Former Capitol
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Police officer Harry Dunn and Metropolitan Police officer Daniel Hodges
• 3:35
  Speaker 3: allege that the anti weaponization fund is unconstitutional and any
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: way it could encourage future political violence. George Sorows, speaking
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: of political violence, becau shouldn't we refer to this as
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: Alex Soros's I think we should scratch that mes. The
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: Sorows Families Open Society Foundation announced that they're returning from
• 3:57
  Speaker 3: their overseas vacation where they had been focusing their efforts
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: in the Middle East, and are moving three hundred million
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: dollars into US midterm elections to try to make sure
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: that the track they want America on is the track
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: US aircraft carrier Nimitz and its strike group have arrived
• 4:19
  Speaker 3: in the Caribbean. Cuba meanwhile, says this makes them feel uncomfortable.
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: Federal prosecutors announced charges against former Cuban president Raoul Castro
• 4:31
  Speaker 3: and the downing of civilian planes owned by Miami based exiles,
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: and Cuba says they want to negotiate with the United States,
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: but they are concerned that the militarization of the Caribbean
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: right now could be a prelude to a Maduro moment.
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Uae ADNOC chief executive Sultan al Jabert said on Wednesday,
• 4:52
  Speaker 3: the country is fifty percent complete in building a pipeline
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: that would make shipping oil through the straight of poor
• 4:59
  Speaker 3: moves unnecessary oops US and Israel. According to The New
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: York Times sources, we're going to at the collapse of
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: the Ayatolas regime install Makhmud Ahmedinajad as the country's new leader,
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: noted for his alliances and friendship with Israel. Certainly, speaker
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: that was sarcasm, by the way. Speaker Mike Johnson hailed
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: House passage of the bipartisan century twenty first Century Road
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: to Housing Act, calling it transformational legislation. It passed with
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: bipartisan support from the House and is expected to pass
• 5:38
  Speaker 3: the Senate as well, and President Trump is expected today
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: to sign an Executive Order on Artificial Intelligence under the
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: framework that developers would be asked to provide their models
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: to the government ninety days before public release for.

• 13:12
  Speaker 2: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 13:18
  Speaker 3: I was dead too, and you know what they said?
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: The son of it was two.
• 13:24
  Speaker 17: N the top of the dial.
• 13:27
  Speaker 18: After this, don't you give.
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Me oh a quick note? King Charles is not dead.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Apparently a snaff who involving computers, UH and automatic protocols.
• 13:42
  Speaker 3: I guess they have something like American broadcasters have. The
• 13:45
  Speaker 3: emergency alert system. It used to be you know, appreciating
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: is an emergency alert message from and then you'd get
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: the babe and then you're all you hear you know,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: some announcer from far away saying this was only a test.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Had there's been an actual emergency, you would have been
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: told where to call for emergency whatever. And then we
• 14:07
  Speaker 3: have that protocol. All the radio stations have it. Apparently
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: in England they also have one that triggers when the
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: king is dead or the queen the sovereign is dead.
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: And a computer crash at a radio station in London
• 14:24
  Speaker 3: had awkward is an understatement, as the computer glitch made
• 14:29
  Speaker 3: the Royal Passage emergency message pass Radio Caroline broadcasted apparently
• 14:39
  Speaker 3: now I'm just reading this to the entire country. Just
• 14:43
  Speaker 3: all of a sudden came on. We regret to him
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: from you that the king who's died, and then there
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: was silence, which is apparently how the protocol works, is
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: followed by moments of silence to consider, you know, what
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: happens next to a guy that can't really do anything
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: to you. It's not like you all his political prisoners,
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: We're going to get freed from the Tower of London
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: or anything. Allegedly just you know, for our British friends,
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: the king is not dead. Long live the King, and
• 15:14
  Speaker 3: you know, the Green Agenda breathes easier knowing it. Most
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: influential member not named al Gore is still wrong. Ken Kuchinelli,
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: former DHS secretary, is going to join us talk about
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: this silly idea that somehow making sure that every valid
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: voter casts one valid vote is somehow vote suppression. But
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: I don't know whose vote it is. He's going to
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: join us in a little while. Maxcot Sports coming up as well.
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: But I've email obviously with the nimits down in Cuba
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: and the administration is concerned for a Maduro moment. Not
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: that rabl Castro isn't running anything, you know, but they're
• 16:04
  Speaker 3: afraid they're going to extradite him the way they extradited
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: Nicholas Maduro in the middle of the night. But meanwhile
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: there's supposedly negotiations going one hundred million dollars. The text
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: message we got yesterday said one hundred million dollars. That's it. Well,
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, how many fifty five chevyes do
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: we need to repair? I mean, I don't know, a
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: bunch of guys from their backyard, you know, mechanics shop,
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: go down there and fix all their cars from I
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: don't know what they need, but apparently a hundred million
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: dollars is the deal. But I had asked, you know,
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: just as an abstract, what lessons do we learn from Kuba? Well,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: first and foremost, I mean, obviously to me, the lesson is,
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: look at what happens under pure communism, even subsidized communism,
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: because remember Client State of Russia still to this day,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: always was that place where the Soviet Union would love,
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: you know, go for vacation vacation land for the boys
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: in Leningrad. But beyond that, the lessons from pre fifty
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: eight Cuba, what do we learn from how you know,
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: Shay and Raoul's brother Fidel rose to power. What what
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: did we do Mike rights in what we need to
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: learn from Cuba, Joe is don't go mucking around in
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: other people's countries. And I think that's it's a really
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: well put abstract on what a lot of the American
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: left is saying, Mike. Not that not that you're a
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: part of the American left, but that's what the attitude
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: is towards Iran Israel. It's what's driving a lot of
• 18:00
  Speaker 3: the anti Semitism, or it's actually become the banner by
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: which we can hide our anti Semitism behind. It's no, no,
• 18:09
  Speaker 3: I'm not anti Semitic. I'm pro Tommy Massey, I'm not
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: anti Semitic. I'm anti war. And having lived through some
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: fairly anti Semitic marches here in our flagship area of Charlottesville,
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: I can tell you anti Semitism likes to have things
• 18:30
  Speaker 3: to hide behind, So let's not give them any more
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: things to hide behind. I'd like to drag the anti
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: Semitism out into the town square where it can squeal
• 18:39
  Speaker 3: and rile in the direct sunlight, like some demon that's
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: about to melt and burst into flames in front of us.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: But I think there's a point to what you say
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: as well about mucking around in other people's countries. So cronyism,
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: as I pointed out me, I look at Cuba as
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: this example of cronyism and cronyism that has screwed over
• 19:02
  Speaker 3: a country because we were helping our friends out. Our
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: friends wanted stuff, and we wanted to provide for them,
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: and we pushed that too far. We got too comfy
• 19:14
  Speaker 3: with it. And they pushed back. We didn't realize that
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: we were protecting the wrong people. I think the same
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: lesson learned in Iran in seventy seven. But remember a
• 19:28

• 28:46
  Speaker 3: if allowed to be. And I'm not talking about Major
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: League per se, but the performance of the game is
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: because it's always about the next act. You know, I
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: mentioned James Wood. You know, you commit an error, throwing
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: error in the field. Next time you're off, you hit

• 29:12
  Speaker 28: lot of parents. We have a lot of parents as
• 29:14
  Speaker 28: a listening base, and that's good. So if your son
• 29:18
  Speaker 28: or daughter said to you within the last week or so,
• 29:21
  Speaker 28: especially it's graduation time, and if they've talked about you know,
• 29:25
  Speaker 28: you asked them what are you going to study when
• 29:27
  Speaker 28: you go to.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: School, and they say, well, I'd like to be a coach.
• 29:31
  Speaker 28: I want to be a coach. I want to be
• 29:33
  Speaker 28: one of those people. All right, So I'm good. A
• 29:35
  Speaker 28: little lesson today, mastering. I'm going to talk football now,
• 29:39
  Speaker 28: mastering the D one and I'm not excluding women either,
• 29:42
  Speaker 28: because women mastering the D one football roster. It's a
• 29:45
  Speaker 28: balance of retaining talents, scouting high school people, managing nil.
• 29:49
  Speaker 28: Not to mention the eighty five limit and the walk
• 29:51
  Speaker 28: on's up to one twenty. But here's what you have
• 29:54
  Speaker 28: to avoid culture clashes. How many times as a sales
• 29:58
  Speaker 28: manager do we look around room and go, oh my god,
• 30:01
  Speaker 28: I wish I could read shirt three or four of
• 30:03
  Speaker 28: these salespeople.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: You know?
• 30:06
  Speaker 28: All right, the story today is about Kirby Smart. He
• 30:09
  Speaker 28: learned the formula of putting together a roster in D two.
• 30:14
  Speaker 28: You know, regarding the managing of that roster and who
• 30:17
  Speaker 28: knew he was a four year letterman as a defensive
• 30:19
  Speaker 28: back at Georgia, first team All SEC. He finished his
• 30:23
  Speaker 28: career thirteen picks that ranked fourth all time at Georgia.
• 30:26
  Speaker 28: But he graduated from the Terry College of Business in
• 30:30
  Speaker 28: nineteen ninety eight with a bachelor's in finance. Now, before
• 30:34
  Speaker 28: his tenure with Bobby Bowden and O two as a
• 30:37
  Speaker 28: grad assistant, Kirby was the defensive coordinator at Valdosta State
• 30:41
  Speaker 28: and he used his finance degree to manage Division two recruiting.
• 30:47
  Speaker 28: He learned the value of Excel and spreadsheets good.
• 30:52
  Speaker 29: The cool part is I had just gotten my finance
• 30:55
  Speaker 29: degree and I'd learned how to do Excel spreadsheets, and
• 30:57
  Speaker 29: back in two thousand they were just starting. So I
• 31:00
  Speaker 29: don't know if you know Division two they don't give
• 31:01
  Speaker 29: full scholarships. You could give partial scholarships. Well, they had
• 31:05
  Speaker 29: a problem. They had thirty six equivalencies. That's thirty six
• 31:09
  Speaker 29: full rides. But we had seventy or eighty kids on
• 31:11
  Speaker 29: the team, so you had to chop thirty six scholarships
• 31:14
  Speaker 29: up to pay for seventy or eighty kids.
• 31:16
  Speaker 28: Yeah, it's not so don't think that you know, things
• 31:18
  Speaker 28: are complicated now. So he built the formula for the
• 31:21
  Speaker 28: Blazers so he and his coaching staff could manage his
• 31:25
  Speaker 28: Division two roster.
• 31:27
  Speaker 29: So I told him, I said, you can put a
• 31:28
  Speaker 29: formula in for each kid and it'll show you how
• 31:31
  Speaker 29: much the percentage is of what scholarship he gets. And
• 31:35
  Speaker 29: they're like, wait, you can do that, and then you
• 31:37
  Speaker 29: can change it and it spits out where you are.
• 31:39
  Speaker 29: And so to this day I called it the salary cap,
• 31:42
  Speaker 29: which is ironic because now we're living in a salary
• 31:46
  Speaker 29: cap world.
• 31:46
  Speaker 28: Yeah, this is early. This is early in two thousands, right.
• 31:49
  Speaker 28: So then he got a raise once he figured out
• 31:53
  Speaker 28: how to manage the Valdosta State roster.
• 31:56
  Speaker 29: Even then, I created one where when you change the
• 31:58
  Speaker 29: kid's number or you signed a kid, changed the whole equation.
• 32:01
  Speaker 29: It told you how many equivalentss you were using.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: That was good. I got raised for that, by the way.
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: So I watched like nine thousand to ten thousand. It's right.
• 32:07
  Speaker 28: You know, you're coaching defensive backs and the defensive coordinator
• 32:10
  Speaker 28: for Valdosta State, and of course he was an assistant.
• 32:14
  Speaker 28: He has won four national titles. But then he ended
• 32:16
  Speaker 28: up at Florida State had a pretty good run with
• 32:18
  Speaker 28: Bobby Bowden and then of course with Nick Saban and
• 32:21
  Speaker 28: then became head coach. He was hired in Athens in
• 32:24
  Speaker 28: twenty fifteen, twenty sixth head coach for the Dogs one
• 32:27
  Speaker 28: eight eighteen. His career overall one seventeen and twenty one,
• 32:31
  Speaker 28: it's about eighty five percent. And over the last five
• 32:34
  Speaker 28: years he has gone sixty five and seven.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: So that all.
• 32:38
  Speaker 28: Yeah, So a couple of rules. So if you're putting together,
• 32:41
  Speaker 28: like if you're going to work today, going all right, I.
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: Got to sell. I got to put together a salestown
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: in a hurry. And I don't care what business you have.
• 32:47
  Speaker 28: I don't care if you're running a dairy queen or
• 32:49
  Speaker 28: a major media company like Joe Thomas. Okay, you've to decide. Yeah,
• 32:53
  Speaker 28: you've got to decide how to do it. So so
• 32:55
  Speaker 28: twofold and Joe has followed this. First of all, you've
• 32:59
  Speaker 28: got to get old and stay old. That's like the first.
• 33:03
  Speaker 28: So if you're building your roster, you got to keep
• 33:05
  Speaker 28: experience and you got to stay there and keep it running.
• 33:08
  Speaker 28: And then just like in college, I mean, you've got
• 33:12
  Speaker 28: to go in the portal find your quarterback because everybody
• 33:17
  Speaker 28: else is too.
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: So Joe found Vinnie Kites.
• 33:19
  Speaker 28: He's got his quarterback in place, and so everything, you know,
• 33:23
  Speaker 28: And that's what that's basically what teams are trying to
• 33:26
  Speaker 28: do because not all positions in college football in D
• 33:30
  Speaker 28: one can be portaled the same way, and especially well
• 33:35
  Speaker 28: what's happening? You can't be just portal. I love it portal.
• 33:39
  Speaker 28: I had a kid yesterday writing a script. He had
• 33:41
  Speaker 28: to perform a script. He used the word I'm off
• 33:44
  Speaker 28: the rails here, but he used the word he was stretchered.
• 33:49
  Speaker 28: What I said, what is stretchered? He goes, well, you
• 33:52
  Speaker 28: was carried out on a stretcher. I go, stretchered is
• 33:54
  Speaker 28: not a word. He goes, well, yeah, if you're carried
• 33:57
  Speaker 28: out on a stretcher. No, no, no, that's so. This
• 34:03
  Speaker 28: kid's kind of like a survit. He's kind of like
• 34:05
  Speaker 28: a Dustin Hoffman Rainman type kid.
• 34:08
  Speaker 6: You know.
• 34:09
  Speaker 28: So I dropped some toothpicks on the floor and I said,
• 34:11
  Speaker 28: all right, count of He staid four hundred and thirty one.
• 34:12
  Speaker 28: So anyway, I let him go.
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: I let him go with stretcher all right? Back to
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: so back to the thing.
• 34:17
  Speaker 28: But anyway, because your positions are not all portal, because
• 34:20
  Speaker 28: you're gonna have salespeople that are You're gonna have your

  Speaker 3: Steve Moore's legend with the Dixie Dregs and then on

  Speaker 7: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a

• 44:53
  Speaker 3: you doing this morning?
• 44:54
  Speaker 22: I'm doing fine.
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: I hope you are so far, so good. So. I mean,
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: you were concerned a couple week or so ago about
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: whether conservative elected or erstwhile elected officials had the fortitude
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: to face the onslaught of name calling that would happen
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: after Virginia's Supreme Court ruling started to you know, lay
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: out the whole They have they what did what did
• 45:20
  Speaker 3: the game? Jeffrey say? We castrated democracy here. I mean,
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: they've they've really gone to the thesaurus to come up
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: with names to call conservatives over this. I mean, you know,
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just I don't know how much further
• 45:40
  Speaker 3: they can to go. But every time I say that,
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: they proved me wrong again.
• 45:45
  Speaker 22: Yeah, I would say that that was a sign of desperation,
• 45:50
  Speaker 22: of course, and we really just beat the tar out
• 45:56
  Speaker 22: of them in the public narrative, and part of it
• 45:59
  Speaker 22: was their own doing the kind of desperation you describe.
• 46:02
  Speaker 22: I mean, people know what that signals, you know, and
• 46:05
  Speaker 22: then can smell the pheromones of fear on their side.
• 46:11
  Speaker 22: And you know, the Virginia Supreme Court did the right thing,
• 46:14
  Speaker 22: did what I would call an obvious thing, but just
• 46:17
  Speaker 22: because it's obvious doesn't mean it gets done, and obviously
• 46:21
  Speaker 22: took courage. The next Supreme Court justice up for reappointment
• 46:26
  Speaker 22: wrote the opinion, I was very gutsy by Justice Arthur Kelsey,
• 46:32
  Speaker 22: and you know he's probably working on his resume right now.
• 46:36
  Speaker 22: But he did the right thing, and he did the
• 46:41
  Speaker 22: thing that all seven of them should have done, which
• 46:44
  Speaker 22: and the Democrats can't say they weren't warned. Then Attorney
• 46:50
  Speaker 22: General Jason Miarez wrote an opinion saying, this can't count
• 46:53
  Speaker 22: as an intervening election for your listeners. That was the
• 46:57
  Speaker 22: issue on which the Supreme Court of Virginia decided that
• 47:02
  Speaker 22: the referendum didn't comply with the Virginia Constitution. Well, they
• 47:06
  Speaker 22: were told, and they defied it and brazenly so. Look,
• 47:11
  Speaker 22: I was in the state stenet and for Virginia, and
• 47:17
  Speaker 22: I was in a Toney general too, and.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: That's a shot if you miss the J Jones spelling,
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: the spell check deficit at the Toney General's office a deficit.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: But this was something I was worried about when the
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court of Virginia allowed the vote to carry on regardless.
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: And I understand the legal precedent, but our mutual friend
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: Tom Carrett has often said to me, jg. If you're explaining,
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: you're losing.
• 47:46
  Speaker 28: And.
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: That's a program model. Here is I feel like I'm
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: explainifying everything and you help. But when they allowed the
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: vote to carry on, I get why they did. But
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: I knew that Hakeem Jeffries would at some point say
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: this was the will of the people. That weren't throwing
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: out because I knew the optics were there, whether the
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: law was there, the optics are.
• 48:10
  Speaker 22: Bad, yes, but they I think they thought and hoped
• 48:15
  Speaker 22: they were going to win by double digits and that
• 48:19
  Speaker 22: the will of the people.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: Argue this was a squeaker.
• 48:22
  Speaker 22: The will of the people argument would have been, they
• 48:25
  Speaker 22: would have thought more weighty. But Justice Wes Russell. The
• 48:32
  Speaker 22: first question in the oral argument anticipated this complaint and
• 48:41
  Speaker 22: asked the lawyer for J. Jones, imported from California for
• 48:45
  Speaker 22: this special purpose, does the outcome of the referendum last week,
• 48:52
  Speaker 22: because they argued six days later matter at all in
• 48:57
  Speaker 22: the legal consideration of this case, your honor, it does not,
• 49:02
  Speaker 22: I mean, and that had been you know, that was
• 49:05
  Speaker 22: the first question, and he yanked the rug out from
• 49:09
  Speaker 22: under his own boss, who had been tramping around publicly saying,
• 49:14
  Speaker 22: will of the people, will of the people.
• 49:16
  Speaker 3: I'm defending the vote.
• 49:19
  Speaker 22: Well, in February, you asked them to allow the vote
• 49:22
  Speaker 22: to go forward.
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: And so.
• 49:25
  Speaker 22: Equally strategically, the opinion recited the defendants' Democrats request that
• 49:34
  Speaker 22: the court refrained from ruling in February and let the
• 49:39
  Speaker 22: vote go forward. They recited all of it, so they
• 49:44
  Speaker 22: put it right in there, and you know, the Democrats
• 49:48
  Speaker 22: they got what they asked for in February, which was
• 49:52
  Speaker 22: no more than complying with the existing legal precedent of Virginia.
• 49:57
  Speaker 22: That and the analogy is that the vote of the
• 50:00
  Speaker 22: people in a referendum where they participate in deciding whether
• 50:05
  Speaker 22: there's a change by their vote is analogous to the
• 50:11
  Speaker 22: governor's signing or vetowing a bill in the legislative process.
• 50:15
  Speaker 22: I just filed a lawsuit on the assault weapons so
• 50:18
  Speaker 22: called assault weapons ban.
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: I couldn't do that.
• 50:21
  Speaker 22: Yeah, really, I couldn't do that before Governor Spanberger had
• 50:27
  Speaker 22: signed or vetoed the bill, so that the legislative process
• 50:31
  Speaker 22: was over. And that's the analogy of the people's vote
• 50:35
  Speaker 22: in the referendum to change the constitution. So that had happened,
• 50:40
  Speaker 22: that's when the case was heard. And just like the
• 50:45
  Speaker 22: fire arms and magazine ban that you know we're suing
• 50:50
  Speaker 22: on in others, that happens after the legislative process is over.
• 50:55
  Speaker 22: Then the courts will entertain the question of whether or
• 50:58
  Speaker 22: not it's legal constitutional.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Well, it'd say what you will. At least they're not
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: going to be able to get stoned so easily in
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: Virginia thanks to Governor Spanberger, who's who's trying to veto
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: almost as many bills from the Democrats as Glenn Youngkin did. Ken.
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: I have to ask you, because there.
• 51:18
  Speaker 22: Is which is interesting, by the way, that looks like
• 51:21
  Speaker 22: a really desperate effort to make a swing it. No, no, really,
• 51:26
  Speaker 22: I am a moderate.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: And even the ice. She vetoed the ice law and said,
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: I'm going to make an executive order that's a little
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: bit more tepid about restrictions on ice at courthouses and
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: things like that.
• 51:42
  Speaker 22: Yeah, and executive orders. You know, I'm glad she did.
• 51:48
  Speaker 22: I'll take the good with plenty of bad we're getting.
• 51:52
  Speaker 22: But you know, executive orders don't have quite the authority
