- 3:50Speaker 3: temporarily stop a lower court ruling to keep your hands
- 3:54Speaker 3: and arms inside the ride until it comes to a
- 3:56Speaker 3: full stop. That required full funding of this map program
- 4:00Speaker 3: during the government's shutdown. The decision allows for partial payments

- 4:17Speaker 3: the shutdown back and forth gets back into high gear,
- 4:21Speaker 3: Senator Ron Johnson of Wisconsin tried to advance the Shutdown

- 4:39Speaker 3: President Trump unlawfully ordered National Guards troops to Portland, Oregon
- 4:44Speaker 3: that in the ruling of a federal judge Friday, it's
- 4:47Speaker 3: a legal setback of the administration's attempts to use the
- 4:50Speaker 3: National Guard to supplement local law enforcement, especially as Ice
- 4:55Speaker 3: continues to crack down on illegals in the country. President
- 4:59Speaker 3: Trum Friday told Senate Republicans not to leave Washington until
- 5:03Speaker 3: they strike a deal to end the Democrats shutdown, and
- 5:06Speaker 3: he said if no agreement is reached, they should terminate
- 5:10Speaker 3: the filibuster immediately to take care of the Great American workers.
- 5:16Speaker 3: The Treasury Department has launched an investigation into misuse of
- 5:20Speaker 3: small business Administration programs that awarded federal contracts worth up
- 5:25Speaker 3: to nine billion dollars. President Trump said Friday that no
- 5:29Speaker 3: US government officials will be attending the Group of twenty
- 5:32Speaker 3: summit this year in South Africa in protest to the
- 5:35Speaker 3: country's treatment of white farmers. The Zionist Organization of America

- 6:06Speaker 3: know who we're talking about.
- 6:07Speaker 7: There.
- 6:07Speaker 3: At least Morton Klein is being honest about why he's
- 6:11Speaker 3: calling it out and the FAA director Sean Duffy said theoretically,

- 8:07Speaker 8: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 8: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:38Speaker 10: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 10: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a

- 18:06Speaker 3: and we went to hang out with a least Stephanik
- 18:09Speaker 3: here at the Trump Winery in Virginia and she couldn't
- 18:12Speaker 3: have been nicer. And you know, I try to gauge
- 18:15Speaker 3: these people by how tight they seem, and this is
- 18:21Speaker 3: my metric for it. If they if they seem very tight,
- 18:25Speaker 3: like they're working from prepared statements and they've been coached
- 18:29Speaker 3: a lot. And you know what I'm talking about. You've
- 18:32Speaker 3: run into this as well. If you're at all active.
- 18:35Speaker 3: You get somebody and it's just like they're always pivoting
- 18:38Speaker 3: back to something else there and they're not really engaging
- 18:41Speaker 3: in a conversation with you. And I expected nothing less.
- 18:45Speaker 3: This was a campaign event in Virginia for congressional races. Yeah,
- 18:51Speaker 3: you know what it was two years ago or a
- 18:53Speaker 3: year and a half it was. It was for our

- 19:01Speaker 3: when you're having fun. So she couldn't have been nicer
- 19:03Speaker 3: and easy going and easy to talk to, not one
- 19:07Speaker 3: of those like no, no, no ad hoc questions, Please
- 19:11Speaker 3: file all your questions in advance with the press secretary.
- 19:14Speaker 3: You get some of that too. So she's running for
- 19:19Speaker 3: governor of New York now, already jumping in and I hope,
- 19:23Speaker 3: I mean Virginia's election results in New Jersey's to a degree.
- 19:29Speaker 3: But there's a lot of people I know in New Jersey,
- 19:32Speaker 3: family members who have you know, headed over there already,
- 19:35Speaker 3: long before anyone knew how to save zeyfod Mon mad
- 19:40Speaker 3: Money or whatever his name is. So I talked to
- 19:46Speaker 3: New Jersey. I said, like, yeah, this is gonna be
- 19:47Speaker 3: another Democrat. There's three more seats in the Democrat controlled
- 19:51Speaker 3: Assembly already. But in Virginia it was stunning. You know,
- 19:56Speaker 3: thirteen seats in the House of Delicate. Our representatives were
- 20:01Speaker 3: flipped in each one by a couple of percentage points,
- 20:05Speaker 3: not a lot, but in agrid that's a lot of
- 20:08Speaker 3: votes that's veto proof. Now they're not going to get
- 20:11Speaker 3: any vetos because the Democrat candidate for governor. Former CIA
- 20:15Speaker 3: officer Abigail Spanberger won, but Bruce Blakeman, Nasau County executive,
- 20:25Speaker 3: is out there criticizing her and already signaling that he
- 20:28Speaker 3: may be coming to her from the center. I, he
- 20:32Speaker 3: says in a statement, I have tremendous respect for a
- 20:35Speaker 3: lease However, our party must nominate a candidate that has
- 20:39Speaker 3: broad based appeal with independence and common sense Democrats. Blakeman
- 20:45Speaker 3: said the party must nominate the candidate with the best
- 20:49Speaker 3: chance of defeating Kathy Hokeel and I have been urged
- 20:52Speaker 3: by business community and political leaders across the state to
- 20:55Speaker 3: make the run, and I'm seriously considering it now. By
- 20:59Speaker 3: saying this, he's already decided. He just he doesn't want
- 21:02Speaker 3: to try to get lost in the at least Stephanic coverage.
- 21:06Speaker 3: So he's just laying the field. That's saying, you stick around.
- 21:10Speaker 3: I'll be back in like a month or so. But
- 21:13Speaker 3: this is another one of those indications of I want
- 21:17Speaker 3: to run away from Trump. I want to run away
- 21:21Speaker 3: from MAGA. I want to be the common sense guy.
- 21:26Speaker 3: And Blakeman may be very good and people who live
- 21:29Speaker 3: in NASA say it's Nasau, but you know it's not
- 21:32Speaker 3: as bad as it's been. But you know, is the
- 21:40Speaker 3: idea that you're going to find common sense amongst folks
- 21:44Speaker 3: who are currently looking at bills that would allow you
- 21:47Speaker 3: to abort a child up to the moment of birth.
- 21:51Speaker 3: And as Virginia's Democrats say, we'll be reasonable, they're already

- 28:32Speaker 3: So you're going to hear a lot for the next
- 28:36Speaker 3: well on into the midterm elections about moderating and that
- 28:42Speaker 3: the Republicans lost because they were immoderate. We did the
- 28:48Speaker 3: autopsy on election night twenty twenty four and twenty twenty five,
- 28:56Speaker 3: and I'm telling you it was because the government was
- 28:59Speaker 3: shut down and people had been and it had gone
- 29:05Speaker 3: beyond just being an abstract so it had gotten to
- 29:08Speaker 3: the point where regular people, not just government employees or
- 29:11Speaker 3: their family members, were impacted by it, and there was
- 29:16Speaker 3: not enough unwinding of the crazy narratives that we're trying
- 29:24Speaker 3: to tell you that things that were happening. I see it.
- 29:28Speaker 3: Dearest friends of mine called my wife and said, you
- 29:35Speaker 3: made me vote for this guy, and now snap benefits
- 29:38Speaker 3: are going away, and you know, this is what resetting
- 29:47Speaker 3: the government is going to look like. I had a
- 29:49Speaker 3: long conversation with a dear friend of mine who I
- 29:52Speaker 3: was telling him. I said, this may cost the Republican
- 29:56Speaker 3: Party some wins, but it's what we need to do.
- 30:02Speaker 3: It's not it is the breaking up of this federal
- 30:07Speaker 3: bureaucracy has to happen. It is, you know, taking a
- 30:12Speaker 3: dollar and sending back thirty cents. The only organization with
- 30:17Speaker 3: a worse pass through rate is the Clinton Foundation. It's
- 30:24Speaker 3: not that we don't want to help. And this is
- 30:26Speaker 3: where I feel, you know, maybe people like you and
- 30:30Speaker 3: me have to step up more because the politicians and
- 30:35Speaker 3: damnable the focus group jockeys that just make money off
- 30:40Speaker 3: of the ad buys. And I was a friend of
- 30:43Speaker 3: mine said he ran into a Republican consultant here in
- 30:46Speaker 3: Virginia and he was buying rounds for everyone. On election night,
- 30:50Speaker 3: is winsome. Earl Sears was losing by ten points because
- 30:55Speaker 3: he had spent millions of dollars in ad money that
- 30:58Speaker 3: he didn't think he was going to be able to spend,
- 31:01Speaker 3: because he got paid off of that. That's how these
- 31:04Speaker 3: consultants get paid. If you ever wonder why all this
- 31:07Speaker 3: goes on in the media, it's because that's how politicians
- 31:10Speaker 3: pay their consultants off the adviys. And I don't know
- 31:19Speaker 3: how you fix it until a politician like Donald Trump
- 31:22Speaker 3: comes along and wins without those people. And then they
- 31:26Speaker 3: all circle the wagons, the Rick Wilson's of the world,
- 31:28Speaker 3: and they all get on TV. And I used to
- 31:31Speaker 3: be a Republican campaign manager, and I think Donald Trump
- 31:34Speaker 3: is dangerous. Yeah to your job, spank nuts. Gosh these folks,
- 31:42Speaker 3: and it's the ruination of good conservative American constitutionalism because
- 31:47Speaker 3: they'll run their focus groups and all sit in a
- 31:50Speaker 3: shopping mall somewhere in some empty corner of smith Smithtown
- 31:56Speaker 3: and hold a focus group saying do you like this phrase?
- 32:00Speaker 3: Do you think this is? Does this phrase make you
- 32:02Speaker 3: feel good? Just make you make you feel protected? In
- 32:07Speaker 3: any event, I want to I want to get into
- 32:09Speaker 3: the idea of people saying we need to talk to
- 32:12Speaker 3: one another because I talked to plenty of people on
- 32:16Speaker 3: a daily basis, and many of them Democrats who don't
- 32:19Speaker 3: like the zeyfod Me mad monies and the aocs and
- 32:25Speaker 3: the ilhan Omars and the Gazala Hashmi's of the world,
- 32:30Speaker 3: and think Kathy Holkel is a nut cluster short of
- 32:34Speaker 3: a squirrel. But they want to help people. And how
- 32:40Speaker 3: do we how do we get that message out that
- 32:44Speaker 3: free markets, not these crony capitalist markets, are actually how
- 32:49Speaker 3: you help people, I mean outside of your friends and
- 32:52Speaker 3: you know, the bureaucracy that you're trying to help four
- 32:55Speaker 3: three four eight eight two four to two one seven
- 32:58Speaker 3: text messages or phone calls to that number. Let me
- 33:01Speaker 3: see who we've got here this first thing? This Saturday morning?
- 33:04Speaker 3: Good morning? You're on with Joe? Who's this? Hang on
- 33:09Speaker 3: a second here, I didn't hear you there. You're I
- 33:13Speaker 3: see you. I see I say, I say, I see
- 33:15Speaker 3: your lips move, but I don't hear you talking. Good morning.
- 33:18Speaker 3: Who's this?
- 33:19Speaker 18: Good morning?
- 33:20Speaker 3: Joe's Joel? Oh, hey, Joel, how was the things in
- 33:23Speaker 3: Florida this morning?
- 33:25Speaker 2: Well?
- 33:25Speaker 23: Florida's okay. I'm still trying to at work.
- 33:29Speaker 3: Hey, but think about it. This way, I understand that
- 33:31Speaker 3: the pizza reha business is going to be booming in
- 33:34Speaker 3: Florida real soon as zeyfod mad Money is going to
- 33:39Speaker 3: start enacting all those Green principles of like banning pizza
- 33:44Speaker 3: ovens and things like that. So you're gonna have some
- 33:46Speaker 3: pretty good at least some dining opportunities. You know, when
- 33:50Speaker 3: Peter Luger's moves to Florida, you'll know something. But in
- 33:54Speaker 3: any event, what brings you to the phone this morning?
- 33:58Speaker 23: Well, I don't know understand people, because if I love
- 34:03Speaker 23: Wins serious, I think she's got a proven record. She
- 34:08Speaker 23: was an immigrant, she's a United States Marine, she was
- 34:12Speaker 23: lieutenant governor, and and then you know her record working
- 34:18Speaker 23: with Glenn Youngkin that I don't understand. If this was
- 34:22Speaker 23: a sports team, right, and you and they were trying
- 34:26Speaker 23: to get some you know, scout for somebody. I guess
- 34:29Speaker 23: during the season you could you know, trade somebody. I'm
- 34:32Speaker 23: not trying to put it in that light. But and
- 34:35Speaker 23: they want they want they want to they want the
- 34:38Speaker 23: best person for that position. And she was the best
- 34:42Speaker 23: best person for the position. I mean, things were proven,
- 34:46Speaker 23: and yet you have all this hearsay and I don't
- 34:49Speaker 23: know that people are voting by are they voting to
- 34:52Speaker 23: be you know, I don't know if this is the
- 34:54Speaker 23: proper way to say party centric, party loyal, but that
- 34:58Speaker 23: doesn't make any sense. But because you're dealing with you're
- 35:03Speaker 23: just dealing with emotions. You're not dealing with facts, You're
- 35:06Speaker 23: not dealing with reality.
- 35:07Speaker 3: Well, here's the thing. You have to understand that people
- 35:10Speaker 3: do vote with emotion. People vote on you know, and
- 35:13Speaker 3: I'd love to say we disengage our emotion at the door.
- 35:16Speaker 3: But enough people and understand we're talking about mathematics that
- 35:22Speaker 3: you know, fifty four percent of Virginia voters turned out
- 35:25Speaker 3: for let's just pick on that election because I have
- 35:28Speaker 3: the numbers off the top of my head. So we
- 35:30Speaker 3: have fifty four percent voter turnout. So you only need
- 35:33Speaker 3: twenty seven percent of the population to buy into your line.
- 35:37Speaker 3: So do the math if ten percent of the population
- 35:41Speaker 3: lives below the poverty level and another ten to fifteen
- 35:44Speaker 3: percent live you know right at you know, what do
- 35:47Speaker 3: they call them alices or whatever? Where you know they're working,
- 35:51Speaker 3: but they're you know, paycheck to paycheck is what we
- 35:54Speaker 3: used to call it when we were kids. That's that's
- 35:57Speaker 3: enough to win. Yeah, but that's an enough to win
- 36:01Speaker 3: an election if if you go out in demagogue a
- 36:04Speaker 3: conservative saying they're going to cut off your food benefits,
- 36:07Speaker 3: They're going to cut off the electricity subsidies you get,
- 36:10Speaker 3: they're going to cut off and everything you caught, everything
- 36:13Speaker 3: you spend money on is going to become more expensive
- 36:17Speaker 3: because these subsidies will go away. I'm not voting for that,
- 36:21Speaker 3: because they've they've learned how to package it. I saw
- 36:25Speaker 3: somebody yesterday talking about how it was because grocery prices
- 36:29Speaker 3: still hadn't come back down yet, because the economy hasn't
- 36:33Speaker 3: straightened up enough because of how screwed up it was.
- 36:36Speaker 3: But nobody was making that case. President Trump, bless his heart,
- 36:41Speaker 3: he made it sound like it was going to happen
- 36:42Speaker 3: in an hour. The media allowed him to say that
- 36:45Speaker 3: because they knew it wasn't. His supporters all said, yeah,
- 36:49Speaker 3: we're going to fix the economy. First thing. Well, it
- 36:52Speaker 3: takes a long time to turn an aircraft carrier around.
- 36:56Speaker 7: I mean, but that's my whole point.
- 36:59Speaker 23: You had you had a no president and and not
- 37:03Speaker 23: trying to sound mean, but really didn't have his faculties
- 37:05Speaker 23: together those in hiding and the president.
- 37:11Speaker 3: Yes, just making sure because people are saying that about Trump.
- 37:14Speaker 23: Now, oh no, I'm talking about Joe Biden. But but
- 37:18Speaker 23: you have you have this president that that's at in
- 37:21Speaker 23: the media. I know, I know a lot of times
- 37:23Speaker 23: and I love President. But you know he does it
- 37:26Speaker 23: because he wants he wants people to see him and
- 37:28Speaker 23: he likes he likes the attention. He likes to be
- 37:30Speaker 23: informative too.
- 37:32Speaker 3: Well, he's very transparent. I mean, finally, even Josh Shapiro,
- 37:35Speaker 3: even Josh Shapiro, the governor of Pennsylvania, said, you know,
- 37:38Speaker 3: the one thing about Donald Trump is you know where
- 37:41Speaker 3: he stands, you know what he's standing up for. You know,
- 37:43Speaker 3: he's transparent about his positions on these things. But we
- 37:49Speaker 3: need to teach a class of conservative leaders how to
- 37:52Speaker 3: do the same thing. I guess because it seems like
- 37:55Speaker 3: they they still want to go to the focus group
- 37:57Speaker 3: and they want to be loved by everyone at the
- 38:00Speaker 3: cocktail part.

- 44:38Speaker 3: Thank you ever letting me be of service to you.
- 44:41Speaker 3: Bend over and cough for a moment we need. In
- 44:44Speaker 3: this text message, Sherry writes in I love the phrase autopsy.
- 44:49Speaker 3: I feel like that's what we're doing here. Well, you know,
- 44:53Speaker 3: I just we need to go over these things and
- 44:56Speaker 3: and quite honestly, I haven't seen a spleen like that
- 44:58Speaker 3: since breakfast Sam in Frase Mil, Thanks for tuning in,
- 45:03Speaker 3: He says, I really appreciate the live broadcast sharing consciousness
- 45:07Speaker 3: in real time on a Saturday out in frase Mil,
- 45:10Speaker 3: Virginia listening to our flagship stationed there Joel. Joel is
- 45:15Speaker 3: a medical practitioners, a nurse, and Joel, you know I
- 45:20Speaker 3: want to tap into that. I mean, the body politic
- 45:25Speaker 3: is the body human right.
- 45:27Speaker 23: People wait until there's a problem. People, they don't try
- 45:30Speaker 23: to figure out remedies before the problem and and right
- 45:35Speaker 23: now you have a stole government and they go, oh, well,
- 45:38Speaker 23: everybody's holding out, but they can't even do any legislation,
- 45:42Speaker 23: other legislation. There's all these things that need to get passed.
- 45:47Speaker 23: And do you think do you think they should eliminate
- 45:49Speaker 23: the filibuster?
- 45:50Speaker 3: No, I know you and I have had this conversation before,
- 45:53Speaker 3: but Saturday is a whole new crowd of folks. No,
- 45:57Speaker 3: there are a lot of things that guys like Harcourt
- 46:01Speaker 3: fent and read when he was leading the Senate. You know, Harry,
- 46:04Speaker 3: he didn't win anyway, Diddy changed in how you get
- 46:08Speaker 3: to filibuster and how many things require cloture. This is
- 46:13Speaker 3: what we need to fix, is all these these little
- 46:16Speaker 3: paper cuts that lead to philibuster. Because the filibuster as
- 46:22Speaker 3: it stands, is not the problem. It's all the things
- 46:25Speaker 3: that make what we're talking about require cloture, you know
- 46:32Speaker 3: the problem. And that's yeah. And and so we need
- 46:35Speaker 3: to be smart enough not to fall for this Marxist movement.
- 46:39Speaker 3: Because if you think the Senate is bad, now, if
- 46:43Speaker 3: you think politics is bad, now, get rid of the
- 46:46Speaker 3: one of the last checkpoints of the minority voice getting
- 46:53Speaker 3: a chance to be heard it's it'll be all bad
- 46:56Speaker 3: with a slice of cheese on top tool if you
- 46:58Speaker 3: get rid of it. But but your point is that
- 47:01Speaker 3: these elected officials hadn't been doing anything anyway. This is
- 47:05Speaker 3: how we got here, yea.
- 47:08Speaker 23: And especially uh, we don't really have a math caught.
- 47:12Speaker 23: I mean, we had a lot of people that voted Republican,
- 47:14Speaker 23: but did they do that, which which I'm not ungrateful for.
- 47:18Speaker 23: I'm very grateful because who we have for president, but
- 47:21Speaker 23: you wonderful a lot of them have stayed that position,
- 47:24Speaker 23: or if they've moved out of it, or haven't even
- 47:26Speaker 23: done anything.
- 47:27Speaker 3: Well, well, look at the story I told. We have
- 47:29Speaker 3: friends of mine deer are very conservative people calling my
- 47:33Speaker 3: wife saying, you made me vote for this guy and
- 47:35Speaker 3: he's or you take away my medicare when he hadn't.
- 47:38Speaker 3: He's taken away our stab which he hadn't, you know.
- 47:41Speaker 3: But this is what the you know, the News twelve
- 47:43Speaker 3: Long Island and the ABC News in New York, and
- 47:46Speaker 3: and all these guys are telling people from behind a desk,
- 47:50Speaker 3: so it must be true. And and there's no voice
- 47:54Speaker 3: out there stopping it and pushing back on it except
- 47:58Speaker 3: for you and me.
- 47:59Speaker 23: Of course, all right, yeah, thanks, I appreciate it, not at.
- 48:03Speaker 3: All, Joel. We always appreciate the tune in down in
- 48:06Speaker 3: Florida book called Common Sense, How to Get the Stink
- 48:12Speaker 3: out of Politics. And I think if there's ever a
- 48:14Speaker 3: book whose time has come, Philip Whittaker has pended for
- 48:18Speaker 3: us and he's on with us this week. Philip, Welcome
- 48:20Speaker 3: to the show. How are you doing, sir.
- 48:23Speaker 18: I'm doing well, Joe.
- 48:24Speaker 3: Thank you for having me on a civil discourse. And
- 48:28Speaker 3: unfortunately the phrase triggers a lot of people in our
- 48:31Speaker 3: circle because when we hear it frequently it is from
- 48:35Speaker 3: somebody saying, well, we just want you to listen to
- 48:38Speaker 3: us and stop disagreeing with us. And it has been
- 48:43Speaker 3: a frustrating thing for me because I like listening to people.
- 48:47Speaker 3: I love having people having a different idea than I do.
- 48:50Speaker 3: I find it troublesome when they think that if I
- 48:53Speaker 3: have a different idea or don't just see the sense
- 48:57Speaker 3: of whatever it is, they're saying that I'm some how
- 49:00Speaker 3: being obtuse, I'm being argumentative or that kind of thing,
- 49:04Speaker 3: even if I haven't engaged in a conversation about it
- 49:08Speaker 3: or debate about it. Philip, you know, so how do
- 49:11Speaker 3: we get back to civil discourse without it meaning just
- 49:15Speaker 3: agree with the left and sit down.
- 49:18Speaker 18: Well, Joe, it takes it, obviously takes two people to
- 49:23Speaker 18: have a fight and learning not to respond to their
- 49:29Speaker 18: uh to their attack mode. We don't have to attack them.
- 49:36Speaker 18: But you're right about the fact that the folks on
- 49:40Speaker 18: the left seem to think that not nonpartisan means they win.
- 49:46Speaker 18: And it's just, you know, it's kind of kind of
- 49:49Speaker 18: reminds me of what remember George Orwell in the book
- 49:52Speaker 18: Animal Farm years ago? Oh yeah, I remember the Napoleon
- 49:57Speaker 18: the pig was asked about one day. The animal says,
- 50:00Speaker 18: wait a minute, looks like you guys get a lot
- 50:02Speaker 18: more than the rest of us. I thought we're supposed
- 50:04Speaker 18: to all be equal here, and Napoleon the big says, well,
- 50:07Speaker 18: we are, but some of us are more equal than others.
- 50:11Speaker 3: The lies. I wish more kids read Animal Farm.
- 50:15Speaker 18: Yeah really, but no, I think that, And I found
- 50:19Speaker 18: my own experience that in many cases, not all, but
- 50:23Speaker 18: in many cases if we approach people from an aspect
- 50:28Speaker 18: of look, I want to have a discussion here, to
- 50:30Speaker 18: have a civil discussion. I'm not going to attack you,
- 50:35Speaker 18: but let's talk about things. And the other thing is
- 50:38Speaker 18: that people respond to that. But the other thing, too
- 50:41Speaker 18: is let's get down below the issues to the principles
- 50:47Speaker 18: that drive these issues, because that's where we find agreement.
- 50:52Speaker 18: Even if we differ on issues, on the principles we
- 50:57Speaker 18: really care about. If we can get to that, we're
- 51:00Speaker 18: gonna lay aside the political legend the long enough to
- 51:03Speaker 18: get to the principles that drive that, we'd find that
- 51:07Speaker 18: there's a very broad agreement on so many things.
- 51:12Speaker 3: You know, you remind me of when I was a kid,
- 51:14Speaker 3: and I still do it. And and I hate to
- 51:16Speaker 3: bring a sports analogy into the conversation, Philip, but America
- 51:23Speaker 3: politically is becoming much more like European soccer than it
- 51:28Speaker 3: is American baseball or football. I grew up in Queens
- 51:34Speaker 3: and I was a Mets fan. Uh. And I had
- 51:37Speaker 3: plenty of Yankee fans as friends. Who would you know, Oh,
- 51:40Speaker 3: they throw Reggie bars at me and oh, you know,
- 51:43Speaker 3: it was the good times of the seventies and U
- 51:45Speaker 3: you know, and and I point to, you know, hey,
- 51:48Speaker 3: who's your manager this week?
- 51:50Speaker 20: Uh?
- 51:50Speaker 3: And we'd have fun with it. I still, you know,
- 51:53Speaker 3: tease my buddy Vinnie, who's a Rangers fan. Hey do
- 51:56Speaker 3: you are? You're wearing your your vdawl Sassoon jeans. I
- 52:01Speaker 3: think he actually has a pair, but it's a visual
- 52:05Speaker 3: I don't need to share. But we could needle each
- 52:07Speaker 3: other about rooting for a different team without it meaning oh,
- 52:13Speaker 3: I can't speak to you ever. I mean, there's the
- 52:15Speaker 3: apocryphal stories of the the you know, Dodger fan that
- 52:18Speaker 3: wouldn't date the Yankee fans daughter or that kind of thing.
- 52:22Speaker 3: But you know, mostly that's a very small minority of people.
- 52:27Speaker 3: I know in between Duke and North Carolina. Here in
- 52:30Speaker 3: the mid Atlantic, that might happen more frequently. But we
- 52:33Speaker 3: had the Hatfields and McCoy's too. But you know, we
- 52:37Speaker 3: need to get back to that place where Okay, you
- 52:39Speaker 3: can be a Jets fan and I can be a
- 52:42Speaker 3: Commander's fan, and we don't have to hate each other
- 52:46Speaker 3: for the fact that we like a different team. That's
- 52:49Speaker 3: where I feel like we've become. My name is Bobby.
- 52:52Speaker 7: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
- 52:55Speaker 6: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
- 52:58Speaker 6: weightlifting champion.
- 53:00Speaker 11: I'm Sam, I'm a veteran.
- 53:02Speaker 4: My victory was finding a career I can be proud
- 53:04Speaker 4: of and supporting my family.
- 53:06Speaker 15: America's veterans are on their most important tour, the tour
- 53:09Speaker 15: of their lives.
- 53:10Speaker 1: I'm a veteran. My victory was going from homeless to hall.
- 53:14Speaker 15: At DAV, we're on a mission to help veterans get
- 53:17Speaker 15: the benefits they've earned.
- 53:19Speaker 11: I'm a veteran, and my victory was finishing my education.
- 53:23Speaker 15: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support

- 53:36Speaker 15: We help more than a million veterans every year as
- 53:38Speaker 15: they face and conquer their challenges.
- 53:41Speaker 12: My victory is being able to be there for my family.
