  Speaker 1: Throw out your hands, stick out your push.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: Hands on your hips, give them a push.
• 0:09
  Speaker 3: You'll be surprised you're doing the French mistake for a lot.
• 0:16
  Speaker 4: Wrong!
• 0:19
  Speaker 5: Media Network.
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: I'm here every day.
• 0:23
  Speaker 6: At least for work when the sun comes up. Drops
• 0:27
  Speaker 6: a kid to school and all the way.
• 0:30
  Speaker 7: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:33
  Speaker 7: he needs.
• 0:35
  Speaker 8: No wonder Joe's always.
• 0:37
  Speaker 9: Smiling, he only aims to please you.
• 0:41
  Speaker 10: Let me be your judge.
• 0:43
  Speaker 11: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:45
  Speaker 11: this morning. Joe Thomas at the controls. I will tell
• 0:52
  Speaker 11: you what went on last night. I will certainly share
• 0:55
  Speaker 11: you my analysis of it. And in some cases, the
• 0:59
  Speaker 11: stories we share are the beginnings of that analysis because
• 1:03
  Speaker 11: we triage. Do we think this, you know, and we're
• 1:06
  Speaker 11: tossing stories off here and there and what is important
• 1:09
  Speaker 11: and what isn't important for you to know and what
• 1:13
  Speaker 11: makes your day easier to get into or wrap up
• 1:17
  Speaker 11: wherever you may be. But regardless of whether you're wrapping
• 1:21
  Speaker 11: or unwrapping the day, it is the time of all
• 1:25
  Speaker 11: those things that you thought you had more time for later. Now,
• 1:31
  Speaker 11: as they say, is later. And so you're running around
• 1:36
  Speaker 11: like crazy. So we keep available for you a text
• 1:39
  Speaker 11: message hotline so that you can just, you know, holler
• 1:42
  Speaker 11: something at voice to text and hit send. And we'll
• 1:47
  Speaker 11: read your words onto the air. Or you can call
• 1:49
  Speaker 11: us at the same phone number, same number, 434-882-4217. You
• 1:55
  Speaker 11: can also email us, jtinthemorningradio at gmail.com. But a lot
• 2:03
  Speaker 11: of folks doing that this morning. And that's okay. And
• 2:08
  Speaker 11: please go online to joethomasinthemorning.com. The nexus of all the
• 2:13
  Speaker 11: different places you can subscribe to the podcast. For some reason,
• 2:16
  Speaker 11: over the past week, the podcast numbers have exploded. I
• 2:20
  Speaker 11: don't know if Apple Podcasts has decided to feature us
• 2:25
  Speaker 11: or if it's Spotify, but whatever it is, you've been
• 2:29
  Speaker 11: able to download. If you only get an hour or
• 2:32
  Speaker 11: two of the program, we do this for four hours.
• 2:36
  Speaker 11: I know that you can sit there for a moment
• 2:37
  Speaker 11: and try to conceptualize what in the world We could
• 2:41
  Speaker 11: talk about for four consecutive hours. He must repeat himself
• 2:45
  Speaker 11: a lot, repeat himself a lot, repeat himself a lot.
• 2:49
  Speaker 11: We try not to. I mean, you know, sometimes I
• 2:51
  Speaker 11: feel like we don't give some things sufficient amount of air, um,
• 2:59
  Speaker 11: because we're trying to hit everything. And so apologies for
• 3:04
  Speaker 11: that transgression. So we dive in first thing this morning.
• 3:10
  Speaker 11: Brazilian elections have concluded, quote-unquote, with the president winning re-election 51.8%
• 3:20
  Speaker 11: of the vote for president. Un president, I'm told I'm
• 3:25
  Speaker 11: corrected because Brazil speaks a type of Portuguese. Un presidente,
• 3:31
  Speaker 11: Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has, quote, been re-elected with 51.8%
• 3:37
  Speaker 11: of the votes. after, now get this, calling on the
• 3:44
  Speaker 11: polling places to arbitrarily stay open for two extra hours
• 3:50
  Speaker 11: as they were just getting ready to close and a
• 3:52
  Speaker 11: bunch of votes had already been counted. Flavio Bolsonaro has
• 3:58
  Speaker 11: not conceded, saying the move to extend voting hours was unprecedented. Meanwhile,
• 4:05
  Speaker 11: in Venezuela... Nobel laureate Maria Karina Machado, opposition leader to
• 4:10
  Speaker 11: the Maduro and Chavez administrations, has returned from exile. I
• 4:16
  Speaker 11: am here with you, Machado posted on X, and then
• 4:20
  Speaker 11: later in front of a video of supporters enthusiastically cheering,
• 4:25
  Speaker 11: finally Caracas, I am here. Speaking of elections, here in
• 4:31
  Speaker 11: our banana republic known as California, Todd Blanche was pressed
• 4:38
  Speaker 11: on whether or not the lawsuit after the voting records
• 4:46
  Speaker 11: would stand, after the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
• 4:51
  Speaker 11: held a special weekend hearing on whether or not the
• 4:55
  Speaker 11: president's administration could hold the votes of 20,000 people until
• 5:01
  Speaker 11: it could be proven whether or not they are citizens
• 5:04
  Speaker 11: or not. They questioned the timing, the authority, and especially
• 5:09
  Speaker 11: the constitutionality, which sort of is the prior, but they
• 5:14
  Speaker 11: questioned all this at the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Meanwhile,
• 5:19
  Speaker 11: Todd Blanch was also asked about the Alaska suit, seeking
• 5:23
  Speaker 11: to make sure that votes are attributed to the correct
• 5:27
  Speaker 11: Dan Sullivan, and also going after the decision to run
• 5:32
  Speaker 11: somebody who has the exact same first and last name.
• 5:37
  Speaker 11: as the Republican incumbent. We're not saying that the federal
• 5:41
  Speaker 11: government is going to decide who the next senator from
• 5:43
  Speaker 11: Alaska is. Meanwhile, President Trump continued his campaigning. Saturday in Georgia,
• 5:52
  Speaker 11: announcing Audi would build a plant for $ 4. 2 billion in Macon.
• 5:57

  Speaker 15: You were strolling along in goodwill. When just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 15: mid-century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them, nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 15: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 16: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 17: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 15: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 15: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 18: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 15: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 19: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 10: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 17: Shh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 15: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 15: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 9:41
  Speaker 15: training and more.
• 9:43
  Speaker 20: So go forth.
• 9:45
  Speaker 15: Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home so much.
• 9:49
  Speaker 10: Good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 11: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 15: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 4: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 4: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 4: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 4: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 4: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 4: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: Eat better. Get moving.

  Speaker 11: I'm a veteran, and I lost both legs in Vietnam.
• 10:54
  Speaker 11: My victory was proving that disability is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 21: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran.
• 11:00
  Speaker 5: My victory was going from homeless to home.

• 11:52
  Speaker 22: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:55
  Speaker 22: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 1: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 8: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 13: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 11: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 6: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 11: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 10: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 16: Cramp!

• 12:23
  Speaker 20: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 6: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 1: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 11: Yeah, I'm probably okay. Probably okay isn't okay, especially when
• 12:38
  Speaker 11: it comes to drinking and driving.
• 12:39
  Speaker 8: If you're drinking, call a cab, a car, or a friend.
• 12:42
  Speaker 10: Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message brought to you
• 12:45
  Speaker 10: by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 22: You know the legal drinking age is 21. You may
• 12:50
  Speaker 22: also know this law protects teens. Find out more at DontServeTeens.gov.

• 13:13
  Speaker 5: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 13:17
  Speaker 5: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:30
  Speaker 11: So I like this email because it shows you're thinking.
• 13:35
  Speaker 11: So we're talking about a common theme here is when
• 13:38
  Speaker 11: people get frustrated as we are a week away from
• 13:41
  Speaker 11: what are probably going to be historically low voter turnouts.
• 13:47
  Speaker 11: And there are multiple channel, it's like the water rising
• 13:53
  Speaker 11: up into the streets of St. Augustine yesterday from the
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: king tide. It is from a million different directions. And
• 14:03
  Speaker 11: any one solution is only part of the puzzle. And
• 14:06
  Speaker 11: I bring this up because I got what I like
• 14:09
  Speaker 11: to call a but Joe email at JT in the
• 14:13
  Speaker 11: morning radio at gmail.com. Barry listening to us down in Daytona.
• 14:23
  Speaker 17: Oops.
• 14:25
  Speaker 11: Sorry, Barry. I hope he's listening on the podcast because
• 14:28
  Speaker 11: he was listening last hour, but Daytona only gets this
• 14:30
  Speaker 11: for the first two hours. This is why, after the
• 14:34
  Speaker 11: morning is done, I don't want you leaving the station
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: for the web streams, although I've been petitioned on several
• 14:40
  Speaker 11: occasions to post a web stream link to JoeThomasInTheMorning.com. I
• 14:47
  Speaker 11: don't feel like that would be doing... you know, the stations,
• 14:50
  Speaker 11: you know, like WROD, any service, I don't want you
• 14:54
  Speaker 11: leaving them. They're a great gift to us. WGCH, all
• 14:59
  Speaker 11: the places would say, okay, our morning guy comes on
• 15:01
  Speaker 11: at seven. That's cool. And, and I don't want to
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: diminish that. Come back and hear what you missed after
• 15:11
  Speaker 11: the fact. But yeah, I keep getting hit. emails from
• 15:15
  Speaker 11: people saying, why don't you put a stream on your
• 15:17
  Speaker 11: website so I can keep listening to you after the station?
• 15:21
  Speaker 11: Because then the station's going to be less apt to
• 15:24
  Speaker 11: keep the show on the air, just saying. But anyway,
• 15:28
  Speaker 11: Barry writes in what I like to call a butt-joe email.
• 15:34
  Speaker 11: We were talking about the 1929 Permanent Reapportionment Act and
• 15:38
  Speaker 11: how smaller congressional district populations would lead to more, number one,
• 15:46
  Speaker 11: volatility within the political parties, and number two, the higher
• 15:51
  Speaker 11: likelihood of other political parties. Do you remember 1799 is
• 15:58
  Speaker 11: the last time somebody said, hey, let's start a new
• 16:01
  Speaker 11: political party. And it had to be somebody as estimable
• 16:06
  Speaker 11: as Thomas Jefferson. And the only person on the stage
• 16:11
  Speaker 11: today that could legitimately start a third party would be
• 16:15
  Speaker 11: somebody with the fame and the gravitas of, say, maybe
• 16:20
  Speaker 11: Donald Trump. Wink. He winks at the microphone, as if
• 16:25
  Speaker 11: you can see that. But aside from that, Barry writes
• 16:35
  Speaker 11: in very appropriately, Joe... All the state and the local
• 16:39
  Speaker 11: governments have to do is make it harder then for
• 16:42
  Speaker 11: you to get onto the ballot. And I hear you.
• 16:51
  Speaker 11: Florida is not bad. I have to say Daytona, you know,
• 16:54
  Speaker 11: down there in Florida, it's got pretty good ballot access laws.
• 16:59
  Speaker 11: But that doesn't mean they couldn't change it. That doesn't
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: mean Republicans or Democrats changed. or in collusion. They couldn't write, oh,
• 17:08
  Speaker 11: you need 50% of your gubernatorial vote signatures, and you
• 17:15
  Speaker 11: have to pay $ 10, 000 indemnity to the Department of Elections
• 17:19
  Speaker 11: for ballot access. I mean, they could write those laws.
• 17:23
  Speaker 11: I believe that they would be considered unconstitutional. Again, not
• 17:28
  Speaker 11: a lawyer, and it's not my money to say go
• 17:31
  Speaker 11: sue for it, but As an arbiter of life, if
• 17:35
  Speaker 11: somebody was to say that, I would go and find
• 17:39
  Speaker 11: somebody like the Founding Freedoms Legal Center and engage a
• 17:45
  Speaker 11: case saying this is patently unconstitutional barriers. I mean, when
• 17:53
  Speaker 11: you have liberals running around talking about poll taxes and
• 17:58
  Speaker 11: Jim Crow 2.0, Limiting, you know, and I'm not against
• 18:05
  Speaker 11: paying a fee to the state government for the use
• 18:09
  Speaker 11: of their accounting system. Which technically is what a voting,
• 18:15
  Speaker 11: what a Department of Elections is. I mean, it's basically
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: an accounting system. So we want to get in on
• 18:22
  Speaker 11: this accounting system. I don't have a problem with there
• 18:25
  Speaker 11: being a fee to get on the ballot. You make
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: it something where only the Republicans and Democrats could possibly
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: even dream of having that kind of money? Sure. I'd
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: be the first one to tell you I want, and Barry,
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: you may not know this, nor may you, most states,
• 18:51
  Speaker 11: the Republican and Democratic Party have permanent ballot access or
• 18:55
  Speaker 11: as close to it as you're ever going to get.
• 18:59
  Speaker 11: I think about half the states have a requirement that
• 19:01
  Speaker 11: says you have to reach 20% of the vote for
• 19:08
  Speaker 11: a certain number of years. And if you fall below
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: 20% for, I think it's five years in Virginia, it
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: might be shorter. For example, you get dropped off the
• 19:21
  Speaker 11: ballot and then you have to go through the Herculean
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: process of signatures and and money and all that that
• 19:28
  Speaker 11: you'll have to go through. But I would be fine
• 19:31
  Speaker 11: with canceling permanent ballot access for anybody. What is the
• 19:38
  Speaker 11: constitutional benefit to the citizen of a Republican or a
• 19:43
  Speaker 11: Democratic party having permanent ballot access? Tell me what the
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: constitutional protection of our God-given rights rights are in that. So, yeah, Barry,
• 19:57
  Speaker 11: the 1929 Permanent Reapportionment Act is only but one thing
• 20:01
  Speaker 11: that I believe has been unconstitutionally laid upon you. I mean,
• 20:07
  Speaker 11: don't even start me on Hamilton's implied powers stuff. Because
• 20:15
  Speaker 11: that's another whole hot mess right there. There are states,
• 20:31
  Speaker 11: and I went looking for states that have particularly bad
• 20:34
  Speaker 11: ballot access issues. And for our friends down Gulf Shores
• 20:41
  Speaker 11: in Alabama, petition signatures 3% of the last gubernatorial vote.
• 20:52
  Speaker 11: And nobody has managed to do this since 1997, except
• 20:57
  Speaker 11: for the Libertarians once in 2000. Why should the State
• 21:07
  Speaker 11: Board of Elections care if it's not to protect the
• 21:10
  Speaker 11: political parties, the entrenched ones, the ones that act like
• 21:15
  Speaker 11: they are the fourth and fifth branches of our government?
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: Why should you care how many signatures somebody has? Why
• 21:22
  Speaker 11: should you care how much support they have before the
• 21:25
  Speaker 11: election takes place? Text message. Two words for you, Joe.
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: Dan Sullivan. meaning the Democrat Dan Sullivan, I presume, in Alaska,
• 21:41
  Speaker 11: if it's that bad that Dan Sullivan, the incumbent, can
• 21:46
  Speaker 11: be beaten by somebody who just has a name kind
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: of like his, it's a bigger problem and maybe why U.S.
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: Senate seats shouldn't be voted on publicly or at least
• 21:58
  Speaker 11: have shorter terms.
• 22:01

• 23:07
  Speaker 24: intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver better
• 23:12
  Speaker 24: care for pets. From AI-assisted radiographs that speed up diagnoses
• 23:17
  Speaker 24: to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports veterinary teams
• 23:21
  Speaker 24: in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop personalized cancer treatments,
• 23:27
  Speaker 24: predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease, and even streamline
• 23:32
  Speaker 24: record keeping so veterinarians can focus more on patients. But
• 23:37
  Speaker 24: as with any new technology, always keep a human in
• 23:41
  Speaker 24: the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI is
• 23:45
  Speaker 24: a powerful tool. but not a replacement for your veterinarian's expertise, compassion,

  Speaker 25: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 25: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch. And nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 25: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 25: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 25: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 25: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:33
  Speaker 25: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 25: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 25: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 25: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

• 28:16
  Speaker 5: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:21
  Speaker 11: It is time. Our sports director, Mac McDonald, has been
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: busy trying to sort through a weekend that saw yet
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: more top 25 college football teams cough one up on
• 28:34
  Speaker 11: the 50-yard line or thereabouts, and we want to We
• 28:39
  Speaker 11: want to thank the Kansas City Chiefs for their comeback. And, wow,
• 28:43
  Speaker 11: where did that go? All of a sudden they were–
• 28:46
  Speaker 11: maybe that was their Halloween costume. We're going to play
• 28:48
  Speaker 11: last season's Kansas City Chiefs for a second.
• 28:50
  Speaker 21: Yeah, wow.
• 28:51
  Speaker 11: Those throwback uniforms.
• 28:53
  Speaker 21: Got blown out by Seattle.
• 28:54
  Speaker 19: You know, the thing about– and I'll probably talk about tomorrow, Wednesday,
• 28:58
  Speaker 19: the college football chaos thing with, you know, teams are
• 29:02
  Speaker 19: winning big games and then losing the next week. and
• 29:05
  Speaker 19: so all this talk about the field of 24 next
• 29:08
  Speaker 19: year in 2027 how it's not going to work or
• 29:10
  Speaker 19: whatever you know what these are going to be great
• 29:13
  Speaker 19: weekends leading up to because there's going to be a
• 29:15
  Speaker 19: lot of jostling parody with the portal now and everything
• 29:19
  Speaker 19: there is major parody in the college game and just
• 29:23
  Speaker 19: live with it just like basketball so anyway it's um
• 29:27
  Speaker 19: It's going to be a lot of fun.
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: Any given Saturday.
• 29:29
  Speaker 19: Any given, yeah, exactly right. All right, a couple of
• 29:31
  Speaker 19: things from yesterday. And then going into tonight, looking forward
• 29:35
  Speaker 19: to game 3 in the Fall Classic. As we are
• 29:38
  Speaker 19: in the trop in Tampa, a good friend of mine's
• 29:40
  Speaker 19: got tickets.
• 29:40
  Speaker 21: I'm totally jealous.
• 29:41
  Speaker 19: Milwaukee erased the 4-1 lead Game 2 Saturday night.
• 29:45
  Speaker 21: They won by one round.
• 29:46
  Speaker 19: Here's an interesting stat for those.
• 29:50
  Speaker 21: Of you who play the numbers game. Of the 10 games.
• 29:53
  Speaker 19: The Milwaukee Brewers have played this October. They have trailed
• 29:56
  Speaker 19: an eight. And of those eight postseason games, they have
• 30:00
  Speaker 19: been behind.
• 30:01
  Speaker 21: They've won seven. So, you know, that's a confident dugout.
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: Don't make them mad.
• 30:07
  Speaker 19: Five, five, one in the eighth.
• 30:08
  Speaker 21: Who cares?
• 30:09
  Speaker 19: Five, you know, so Saturday they're up, you know, for nothing.
• 30:12
  Speaker 19: But now the Rays brand of baseball, it's an aggressive style.
• 30:16
  Speaker 19: Kevin Cassius said all along. We're going to apply constant
• 30:19
  Speaker 19: pressure on opponents. Because if you're watching the series, you go,
• 30:23
  Speaker 19: why are they making these base running mistakes? Why are
• 30:26
  Speaker 19: they challenging outfielders with throws to the plate when you've
• 30:29
  Speaker 19: got a really good hitter up?
• 30:31
  Speaker 21: You know, all that has unfolded.
• 30:33
  Speaker 19: But Kevin Cash says, look, the Brewer staff is so good,
• 30:38
  Speaker 19: we have to be aggressive on the bases.
• 30:39
  Speaker 26: I mean, that's kind of been our MO all season long,
• 30:42
  Speaker 26: put pressure on the defense, know that Contreras is extremely
• 30:45
  Speaker 26: talented out there. Gets rid of the ball really quick,
• 30:48
  Speaker 26: but put pressure on the defense. He got rid of
• 30:51
  Speaker 26: it quick and put it right on the bag to Contreras.
• 30:53
  Speaker 26: You know how talented that pitching staff is. How many
• 30:56
  Speaker 26: times are you going to piece together that many singles.
• 30:59
  Speaker 21: Let's see if we can put.
• 30:59
  Speaker 26: Some pressure on somebody else. But to their credit, they,
• 31:02
  Speaker 26: they respond, they've responded with, with everything that we've thrown
• 31:05
  Speaker 26: at them.
• 31:05
  Speaker 10: Yeah.
• 31:06
  Speaker 19: And you thought, okay, Hey, we're going back to Tampa tie.
• 31:08
  Speaker 19: They were up for, you know, for nothing cruising, right? Well,
• 31:12
  Speaker 19: a ball rolling through first baseman, Jonathan Aranda's legs for
• 31:15
  Speaker 19: a run scoring air, a botched, a pop fly by
• 31:18
  Speaker 19: Chandler Simpson. And that led to a single, a charity single,
• 31:23
  Speaker 19: and then an aggressive yet pragmatic send of Liam Hicks
• 31:28
  Speaker 19: on a single to shallow left.
• 31:30
  Speaker 21: And that resulted in the catcher getting thrown out at home,
• 31:32
  Speaker 21: ending the sixth. And yada, yada, yada.
• 31:34
  Speaker 19: It goes on and on and on. Make him throw
• 31:36
  Speaker 19: it around. Yeah, the Rays will continue to do it.
• 31:41
  Speaker 19: And so we'll, you know, we'll, we'll see what that way.
• 31:43
  Speaker 11: I've always, I've always believed in what cash says, because
• 31:47
  Speaker 11: I believe the more you throw a baseball around, what's
• 31:50
  Speaker 11: the old expression about forward passing in, in football. Uh,
• 31:53
  Speaker 11: there are three things that could happen in two of them.
• 31:58
  Speaker 21: That's exactly right.
• 31:59
  Speaker 19: So, uh, you know, that's a, but the, and how
• 32:02
  Speaker 19: about real quick with the NFL and then I'll get to.
• 32:04
  Speaker 21: The, the, the, uh, chase with, uh, Kyle Larson, get
• 32:07
  Speaker 21: ready to win again. Um, The Ravens were up 13-0
• 32:11
  Speaker 21: in Cincinnati last year. and gave up 35 in the
• 32:14
  Speaker 21: second half. What is that?
• 32:15
  Speaker 11: It's got boat raced. What is that? Somebody went and
• 32:19
  Speaker 11: got the real Joe Burrow out of the closet. It's like,
• 32:22
  Speaker 11: all right, we gave this guy a little chance, and
• 32:25
  Speaker 11: obviously not the real Joe Burrow.
• 32:26
  Speaker 19: Because in the NFL, you don't counsel aggressively like Pete
• 32:29
  Speaker 19: Gillian used to.
• 32:31
  Speaker 21: So anyway, all right.
• 32:32
  Speaker 19: So now Kyle Larson extended his lead. He won the
• 32:35
  Speaker 19: Yellowwood 500. But the finish.
• 32:39
  Speaker 21: Was absolutely crazy.
• 32:42
  Speaker 19: He went from 11th to first on the last lap.
• 32:46
  Speaker 21: Okay.
• 32:46
  Speaker 19: Three wide finish. He won by a couple of feet
• 32:49
  Speaker 19: over William Byron. The race was stopped under the red flag,
• 32:52
  Speaker 19: five laps to go. A 15 car pileup. Lugano flipped
• 32:56
  Speaker 19: on the roof. Denny Hamlin ran eighth. He's now second,
• 32:59
  Speaker 19: but he's 73 points behind. I'll give you the rundown
• 33:02
  Speaker 19: of how it's going to happen, but you got to
• 33:03
  Speaker 19: listen to this finish. because something happened at the call
• 33:07
  Speaker 19: on TV that was just amazing.
• 33:09
  Speaker 21: I don't know how it happened.
• 33:10
  Speaker 19: This is how sometimes it happens in radio TV.
• 33:14
  Speaker 21: Listen to this finish.
• 33:15
  Speaker 12: Todd Gilliland is pushing Austin Hill.
• 33:17
  Speaker 11: Here comes that 33.
• 33:20
  Speaker 16: He's lost out.
• 33:21
  Speaker 17: Stenhouse is clear.
• 33:23
  Speaker 11: The pack is coming.
• 33:25
  Speaker 19: William Byron, Kyle Larson, and chases to the line.
• 33:30
  Speaker 14: Oh, what a finish.
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: Kyle Larson.
• 33:35
  Speaker 20: Create something special.
• 33:37
  Speaker 21: How did Larson know to scream right when the.
• 33:40
  Speaker 11: TV guy was taking a breath? Chases to the line.
• 33:42
  Speaker 21: Oh, what a.
• 33:45
  Speaker 1: Finish.
• 33:46
  Speaker 23: Kyle Larson.
• 33:48
  Speaker 21: How did that happen?
• 33:53
  Speaker 5: I don't know.
• 33:53
  Speaker 11: That's pretty good timing.
• 33:55
  Speaker 19: Anyway, Larson can win next week at Martinsville, a week
• 33:58
  Speaker 19: before the finale at Miami in the homestead. He only
• 34:02
  Speaker 19: needs to score three points more than everyone else, and
• 34:05
  Speaker 19: then that's that. If Larson has a 77-point lead next week,
• 34:09
  Speaker 19: it's over. If he has a 76-point lead over everyone
• 34:12
  Speaker 19: and Chase Briscoe is further back than that, it's over.
• 34:16
  Speaker 21: Briscoe would have to win.
• 34:17
  Speaker 19: Out to tie Larson to even win a tiebreaker, which
• 34:21
  Speaker 19: based on You know, wins in the chase for the championship.
• 34:24
  Speaker 19: And why did Chevrolet have such a big day yesterday?
• 34:27
  Speaker 19: Why were they so, you know, so good? So with
• 34:29
  Speaker 19: all that being said, it sets the tone for what
• 34:31
  Speaker 19: should be a good week and a hyped week. And
• 34:34
  Speaker 19: I know Martinsville, they're going to rock and roll. See,
• 34:37
  Speaker 19: I'm a super speedway guy. I hate the fact that
• 34:39
  Speaker 19: the chase even has a Martinsville in it. Not to
• 34:43
  Speaker 19: knock the Martinsville, but they're going to bang and bang
• 34:46
  Speaker 19: and bang.
• 34:46
  Speaker 11: I have camped on the side of Martinsville. I have
• 34:49
  Speaker 11: pitched a tent. Martinsville is it, man. But this is why. See,
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: super speedway racing is, except for the big crashes, dull.
• 35:01
  Speaker 11: I mean, outside of wondering how. 20 cars can go
• 35:06
  Speaker 11: 200 miles an hour, three inches from one another, and
• 35:09
  Speaker 11: then they all wreck, and you're like, oh, that's how
• 35:11
  Speaker 11: it can happen. But, I mean, this is why the
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: road courses like Road America and Sonoma and Watkins Glen
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: have become such popular TV because, you know, you can
• 35:22
  Speaker 11: have the catch a guy in the corner, outbrake him,
• 35:26
  Speaker 11: move past him, and all that stuff that's interesting racing.
• 35:30
  Speaker 11: It's like the Milwaukee Brewers' comebacks.
• 35:32
  Speaker 21: Yeah.
• 35:33
  Speaker 18: Yeah.
• 35:33
  Speaker 21: No, I'll give you that.
• 35:34
  Speaker 19: And so, but I, I liked it just the Speedway thing,
• 35:37
  Speaker 19: because I think to me, that's like a football passing
• 35:40
  Speaker 19: game where Martinsville is going to be just like, you know,
• 35:43
  Speaker 19: Navy football, where you're going to run.
• 35:44
  Speaker 11: It, you know, 81, 81 times.
• 35:46
  Speaker 19: So anyway, a real quick story for the weekend to
• 35:50
  Speaker 19: a couple of buddies and I, I'm still a charity golf, uh,
• 35:55
  Speaker 19: I still like to attend and play in charity tournaments.
• 35:58
  Speaker 11: It's the best reason to play golf.
• 36:00
  Speaker 19: Yeah, a mentoring program for a local high school here
• 36:03
  Speaker 19: in Port Orange in New Smyrna Beach, and it was great.
• 36:07
  Speaker 21: Well, we were sandwiched.
• 36:08
  Speaker 19: My team, we were sandwiched between the boys' team from
• 36:12
  Speaker 19: New Smyrna Beach High School and the girls' team. From
• 36:15
  Speaker 19: New Smyrna Beach. Now, we ended up in a tie break.
• 36:19
  Speaker 19: We played pretty well. In a tie break, we beat
• 36:23
  Speaker 19: the boys team. The girls team boat raced us by
• 36:27
  Speaker 19: five shots on a par 69 golf course. This little
• 36:34
  Speaker 19: place called Hidden Lakes.
• 36:35
  Speaker 21: In New Smyrna Beach. The girls team shot. A 49.
• 36:40
  Speaker 17: No.
• 36:42
  Speaker 19: They shot 20 under. We shot 54. And we thought
• 36:47
  Speaker 19: we were, you know, cock of the walk. But they were, yeah,
• 36:50
  Speaker 19: they shot 49. But now you had mulligans involved. There
• 36:54
  Speaker 19: were mulligans and all kinds of stuff.
• 36:56
  Speaker 11: And people argue with all that. Every time I'm involved
• 36:58
  Speaker 11: in a charity, I'm like strings and mulligans. Come on now.
• 37:02
  Speaker 11: People are like, oh, that's not golf. I'm like, we're
• 37:05
  Speaker 11: raising money. Sell a guy six inches of string.
• 37:10
  Speaker 21: Exactly.
• 37:11
  Speaker 11: If you don't know, a string.
• 37:15
  Speaker 11: Is if you're near the hole and you have enough
• 37:17
  Speaker 11: string to reach the ball, then it's counted as in.
• 37:20
  Speaker 21: Then you count the stroke. And here was the thing.
• 37:22
  Speaker 19: The girls team, well, the guys were kind of, you know,
• 37:24
  Speaker 19: they were yipping and yapping and we were challenging them
• 37:27
  Speaker 19: and giving them a bunch of crap like, hey, you're
• 37:29
  Speaker 19: going to sneak a beer in a parking lot? You know,
• 37:31
  Speaker 19: we're busting their chops. But the girls team could not
• 37:33
  Speaker 19: have been more polite, no more of special for ladies
• 37:39
  Speaker 19: that I have ever seen ever or talked to.
• 37:42
  Speaker 21: It was It was just refreshing.
• 37:45
  Speaker 11: No mean girls.
• 37:46
  Speaker 21: These kids were great. No, they were great.
• 37:48
  Speaker 19: And I wish I had the picture, though, while they
• 37:50
  Speaker 19: were waiting, all four girls on their phones. So I wish,
• 37:53
  Speaker 19: you know, on the golf course. So I wish I
• 37:55
  Speaker 19: had that picture.
• 37:56
  Speaker 21: Hey, have a good Monday. I'll see you first thing tomorrow.

  Speaker 27: According to a new report from Discovery Education, 92% of
• 38:05
  Speaker 27: students say that engaging lessons make school more fun. And
• 38:08
  Speaker 27: more than 90% of educators said engagement is critical for
• 38:11
  Speaker 27: student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning, but gaps
• 38:16
  Speaker 27: remain about how to achieve, measure, and sustain students' interest
• 38:19
  Speaker 27: in the classroom. Although 63% of students agreed that students
• 38:24
  Speaker 27: are highly engaged in school, only 45% of teachers and
• 38:27
  Speaker 27: 51% of principals surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators
• 38:32
  Speaker 27: disagreed on the top indicators of engagement. 72% of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 27: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement.
• 38:41
  Speaker 27: while 54% of superintendents rate performing well on assessments as
• 38:45
  Speaker 27: a top engagement indicator. Also, two-thirds of students said they
• 38:49
  Speaker 27: believed that AI could help them learn faster, yet fewer
• 38:52
  Speaker 27: than half of teachers report using AI themselves to complete tasks.

  Speaker 25: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 39:09
  Speaker 25: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 25: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 39:18
  Speaker 25: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 39:23
  Speaker 25: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 39:28
  Speaker 25: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 39:33
  Speaker 25: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 25: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 39:40
  Speaker 25: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 39:42
  Speaker 25: your hands and feet. Well, our products Ultimate nitric oxide

  Speaker 28: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 28: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 28: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 28: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 28: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 28: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 28: of an infection that can spread from person to person.

  Speaker 11: Thank you for joining us and letting us be of
• 44:19
  Speaker 11: service to you where we tell you what went on
• 44:22
  Speaker 11: last night, but most importantly, want to know how it's
• 44:25
  Speaker 11: impacting you.
• 44:28
  Speaker 18: All across America, talk radio and the voices of freedom.
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: Don't stop talking.
• 44:35
  Speaker 10: Don't stop sharing. Don't stop laughing.
• 44:39
  Speaker 11: Don't stop caring. I want to talk to your manager.
• 44:41
  Speaker 19: As long as you've got a voice, don't ever stop.
• 44:49
  Speaker 18: Make our freedom shine longer.
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: Spread the love around.
• 44:56
  Speaker 28: Build our friendships much stronger.
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: And make every moment profound.
• 45:03
  Speaker 11: Or at least sound like it has some gravity.
• 45:05
  Speaker 24: All right.
• 45:05
  Speaker 17: 434-882-4217.
• 45:05
  Speaker 16: And it's always nice to know with our friends at
• 45:07
  Speaker 16: 1490 WGCH that when I play that bumper music, The
• 45:18
  Speaker 16: band Gun Hill Road can be heard on the road
• 45:23
  Speaker 16: called Gun Hill Road.
• 45:24
  Speaker 11: It's just nice to know that there's a little synergy
• 45:27
  Speaker 11: going on in there. A couple of quick points of order.
• 45:33
  Speaker 11: With a week to go before Election Day, what went
• 45:38
  Speaker 11: on in Brazil is important because this is why rule
• 45:45
  Speaker 11: of law is important. And why we watch in an
• 45:49
  Speaker 11: abstract all of these things that seem to be tearing
• 45:53
  Speaker 11: us apart because we act like there is no rule
• 45:57
  Speaker 11: of law. We were talking about Barry's but Joe email
• 46:03
  Speaker 11: from before about smaller congressional districts, greater opportunity for third parties,
• 46:10
  Speaker 11: certainly greater opportunity for different people, different voices. and being
• 46:15
  Speaker 11: more representative of an area. Think about where 1,500 people are, or.
• 46:20
  Speaker 17: 15,000, I'm sorry.
• 46:20
  Speaker 11: And you think about the difference in area from 850,000
• 46:24
  Speaker 11: to 100 or 150,000. And that's not, you know, that's
• 46:29
  Speaker 11: the George Mason paradigms. I mean, you can go and
• 46:46
  Speaker 11: just say divide 850,000 by three because we're more than
• 46:55
  Speaker 11: three times. It's 3.25. It's even a congressional district of 261,000.
• 47:00
  Speaker 11: Our flagship city is Charlottesville, Virginia. Well, that's its metropolitan
• 47:12
  Speaker 11: area population. including, you know, four or five counties around it.
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: Charlottesville hasn't had, you know, a representative in Congress, and
• 47:22
  Speaker 11: I know I'm going to get heat for saying this,
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: but it's a very liberal city because it's a college town.
• 47:30
  Speaker 11: It's like Corvallis, you know, I don't know what Portland's
• 47:33
  Speaker 11: excuse is, except that it's Portland. But its metro population, 260,000,
• 47:39
  Speaker 11: would qualify for its own congressperson. And I'll guarantee you
• 47:44
  Speaker 11: it's going to be a Democrat at first. But what
• 47:48
  Speaker 11: kind of Democrat? Then you start to have internal campaigning.
• 47:52
  Speaker 11: So as Barry's question was, ballot access is important. But
• 47:56
  Speaker 11: understanding what the rule of law means, understanding that of
• 48:00
  Speaker 11: those 261,000 votes available, they only go to U.S. citizens.
• 48:07
  Speaker 11: And I was looking at some of the ballot referendum
• 48:09
  Speaker 11: here in Virginia. It's abortion. It's actually criminalizing anything but abortion.
• 48:18
  Speaker 11: If you, truth be told, if Virginia is not voting
• 48:21
  Speaker 11: on abortion, there's already abortions going on. We're one of
• 48:26
  Speaker 11: the most liberal states already for abortion access. What they're
• 48:29
  Speaker 11: going to do, unsatisfied with just being able to have abortions,
• 48:36
  Speaker 11: you know, all over the place, is they want to
• 48:39
  Speaker 11: criminalize anything but giving a girl abortions. I mean, it's
• 48:46
  Speaker 11: so nutty that you could actually make the case. A
• 48:50
  Speaker 11: friend of mine said to me, he said, Joe, what
• 48:52
  Speaker 11: if I decide not to have sex with my girlfriend?
• 48:57
  Speaker 11: Am I denying her her right to have an abortion?
• 49:01
  Speaker 11: I actually had to sit back and I said, I said,
• 49:07
  Speaker 11: I had to take a deep pull on my coffee
• 49:09
  Speaker 11: and say, that's a, that's a really issue. No, I
• 49:12
  Speaker 11: don't want to tonight, honey. Hey, I have a right
• 49:14
  Speaker 11: to an abortion. And if you won't have sex with me,
• 49:17
  Speaker 11: you're denying my right to have an abortion. That's what's
• 49:22
  Speaker 11: happening in Virginia. If you don't participate in a gay marriage,
• 49:26
  Speaker 11: and I mean that in many different ways, you can
• 49:29
  Speaker 11: be criminalized. But then I'm looking at, you know, there are,
• 49:34
  Speaker 11: I think, just under 50% of all Virginia communities are
• 49:40
  Speaker 11: voting on tax increases, sales taxes, local sales tax. Up
• 49:49
  Speaker 11: in Joliet, all around that area, they're all going to
• 49:52
  Speaker 11: vote on extra taxes beyond the ones you're already paying
• 49:57
  Speaker 11: to fund school and fire department divisions.
• 49:59
  Speaker 14: Hold on.
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: When did you.
• 50:06
  Speaker 11: Stop being responsible for paying for the fire department of
• 50:09
  Speaker 11: the school? When did that become a nice to have?
• 50:16
  Speaker 11: And where has all the other money we've sent to
• 50:18
  Speaker 11: you gone? And then I was looking, Salt Lake is,
• 50:22
  Speaker 11: is having an issue of all the board of ed
• 50:26
  Speaker 11: or school board seats are up for grabs. And, and to,
• 50:35
  Speaker 11: underline the importance of these school board seats in Salt
• 50:39
  Speaker 11: Lake City and anywhere, everywhere. Look at what happened here.
• 50:45
  Speaker 11: And you've not, unless you follow me on the Daily
• 50:48
  Speaker 11: Signal website, dailysignal.com, nobody has covered this story. 37-year-old man
• 50:56
  Speaker 11: was assigned the job by the school board and the
• 51:00
  Speaker 11: Spanberger administration under the guise of being woke, being tolerant,
• 51:06
  Speaker 11: being open-minded to trans issues. They insisted that every public
• 51:11
  Speaker 11: school have a trans counselor. So this 37-year-old man in
• 51:16
  Speaker 11: an elementary school was assigned the job of being trans counselor,
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: which means any of the young elementary school students would
• 51:24
  Speaker 11: be sent to him to talk about sex. He is
• 51:30
  Speaker 11: in prison right now. He's out on bond right now, $ 50, 000 bond,
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: because for some reason they think being accused of sexually
• 51:37
  Speaker 11: molesting nine of those students, all girls, who came to
• 51:43
  Speaker 11: him and said, I don't know, I think I feel
• 51:45
  Speaker 11: like I should be a boy. And I don't even
• 51:48
  Speaker 11: want to begin to think of what that conversation sounded
• 51:51
  Speaker 11: like as he sexually molested them, allegedly. But it was
• 51:57
  Speaker 11: covered up. for years by the school board and the
• 52:02
  Speaker 11: school division. So if you don't think school board elections
• 52:06
  Speaker 11: are important, never mind the fact that we're falling further
• 52:11
  Speaker 11: and further away from being able to teach Johnny how
• 52:14
  Speaker 11: to read. And we're told that it's racist if we
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: tell Johnny that learning how to read is important. These
• 52:24
  Speaker 11: school board races are big. Yes, yes, midterms. I'm not
• 52:28
  Speaker 11: trying to dodge midterms and Trump versus Obama on the midterms,
• 52:33
  Speaker 11: which is what it is. It's a Congress that will
• 52:37
  Speaker 11: be back to everything Barack Obama wanted and then some
• 52:43
  Speaker 11: versus Donald Trump on the midterm ballot. But these school
• 52:46
  Speaker 11: board races cannot be discounted.
• 52:51
