• 0:06
  Speaker 1: I'm more mega now make America great again than I've
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: ever been.
• 0:11
  Speaker 2: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: I know, I know, you're sitting there saying, but, but, but, Joe,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: how many mornings have you and I gotten together in
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: just the brief time that you and I have been together?
• 0:49
  Speaker 3: Or some of you, it has been a long relationship.
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: You upperclassmen, you help the newer ones out with this.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: How many mornings.
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Be honest with me, you long timers, how many mornings
• 1:08
  Speaker 3: have you put the radio on? Whether it's the Monday
• 1:12
  Speaker 3: after dead bodies were carted off the streets of our
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: flagship city of Charlottesville, after the riots of 2017, after
• 1:21
  Speaker 3: Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential race. How many of
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: these mornings have you put the radio on saying, this
• 1:40
  Speaker 3: is going to be the morning Joe gives in? What
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: did you think we were going to change format? It's
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: polka time with Joe.
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: In the morning.
• 1:55
  Speaker 3: Change the name of the station to Al at 101.1.
• 1:59
  Speaker 3: Play nothing but Al Yankovic songs. What you believe is
• 2:04
  Speaker 3: what you believe, regardless of the outcome of a vote.
• 2:07
  Speaker 3: And I know that's easy to say or even expected
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: to say because the Republican Party took a pretty good
• 2:14
  Speaker 3: paddling last night. I think the expression that popped into
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: my mind as we were doing coverage of it, and
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: I'm working off of about three hours sleep, so we
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: have a caffeine drip right now in the studio. It's
• 2:35
  Speaker 3: going to mainline adrenaline, but I couldn't find a clean needle.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: But what you believe has nothing to do with the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: outcome of an election. Otherwise, you would be caving in
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: on things like the rights of an infant to be
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: allowed to be born because God has created them. Oh,
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry, Pope Leo, were you still in town? Were
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: you still in the area listening? I'm sorry, Pope Leo,
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: I just didn't mean to. But you got to understand,
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: there's a lot of people who don't like that idea
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: because they like sex. Well, all right, the church is
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: supposed to teach us there's a reason for these things. Turn, turn, turn.
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: So we begin this morning the same way we begin
• 3:23
  Speaker 3: every morning, knowing what's right and what's wrong, and then
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: having to sort through how the politicians seem to be
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: incapable of interacting with this. Sure, there are reasons Republicans lost. Sure,
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: there are reasons Republicans lost in places there were no
• 3:44
  Speaker 3: reason for Republicans to lose. And we'll break them down,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: but we'll also take your phone calls on it at
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: 434-882-4217 because you have feels, as the young people tell
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: me it's referred to, But the story of the morning
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: is Democrats have won control of both the U.S. Senate
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: and the House. Flipping seats in North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas,
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: and Ohio. Democrat former Governor Roy Cooper defeated Michael Watley.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: James Tallarico defeated Republican Attorney General Ken Paxton. Annie Andrews
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: defeated Lindsey Graham's sister, Darlene Nardone, in South Carolina. Sherrod
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: Brown defeated John Husted in Ohio. They also held on
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: to their seats held by John Ossoff in Georgia and
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: Chris Pappas in New Hampshire. Flipping Susan Collins out of
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the U.S. Senate in Maine. and flipping House seats at
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: a breakneck pace all across the country. The final tally
• 5:08
  Speaker 3: as of this accounting this morning in the U.S. House is,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: where do they go? There it is. 228 House members
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: will be Democrats in the 220th Congress, 139 will be
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Republicans in the U.S. Senate, as the count goes right now.
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: Fifty-four will be Democrat, to 44 who are Republican, with
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: several still undecided. And we'll keep you up to date
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: on those, but some of the more notable ones, as
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: we mentioned, Josh Turek defeating Ashley Hinson. as well, and
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: in Kansas, Adam Hamilton defeating Roger Marshall, the incumbent there,
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: as well. There were victories. Ashley Moody won the Senate
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: race in Florida. Barry Moore overcame an early deficit to
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: hold the Alabama Senate seat. However, in a very tight race,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: separated by only about 100 votes, Scott Colon lead Cindy
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: Hyde-Smith in Mississippi. And those are just some of our
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: first things on this post-election day, Ted's TV. Maybe there's
• 6:42
  Speaker 3: pain in your body that you don't, where did that
• 6:44
  Speaker 3: come from? Maybe it was from knocking in yard signs.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: May I suggest our friend Celie in the four corners
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: who makes the CBD oil that my wife and I use.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: We'd never used it before. We tried it and boy,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: it works great. when you rub it into the places
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: it hurts, that Mesa Verde hemp.
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
• 7:06
  Speaker 4: help can be the first step toward recovery.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Dr.

  Speaker 4: Joseph Liberto, National Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:08
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 7: I'm Dr.
• 8:14
  Speaker 2: Mitch.
• 8:15
  Speaker 7: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 7: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:25
  Speaker 7: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:29
  Speaker 7: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:33
  Speaker 7: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:40
  Speaker 7: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:44
  Speaker 7: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 7: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 7: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:58
  Speaker 7: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 8: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:06
  Speaker 8: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 8: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 8: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 8: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:26
  Speaker 8: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:30
  Speaker 8: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:34
  Speaker 8: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,

  Speaker 8: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law

• 9:59
  Speaker 3: Hi everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 9: I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy growing up
• 10:02
  Speaker 9: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:05
  Speaker 9: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:07
  Speaker 9: but also their tireless work ethic.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Just look at the.
• 10:09
  Speaker 9: Birds who gather supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes
• 10:13
  Speaker 9: who work hard to provide for their young. Or penguins,
• 10:16
  Speaker 9: who travel up to 500 miles to secure food for
• 10:18
  Speaker 9: their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them
• 10:21
  Speaker 9: to navigate the trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:24
  Speaker 9: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
• 10:27
  Speaker 9: the canines. We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home,
• 10:30
  Speaker 9: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving
• 10:34
  Speaker 9: work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They
• 10:36
  Speaker 9: comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They
• 10:39
  Speaker 9: work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in
• 10:42
  Speaker 9: their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly
• 10:45
  Speaker 9: trained roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 10:48
  Speaker 9: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 10:51
  Speaker 9: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 10:54
  Speaker 9: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 11:00
  Speaker 10: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 11: Oh, yeah?
• 11:02
  Speaker 12: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:04
  Speaker 13: And now a speech. I just want to say that
• 11:09
  Speaker 13: friendship is about heart.
• 11:11
  Speaker 3: Heart and brain. Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 9: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 13: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 13: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:20
  Speaker 4: Love that guy.
• 11:21
  Speaker 14: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 15: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 15: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 14: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:32
  Speaker 14: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:36
  Speaker 14: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:40
  Speaker 14: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:43
  Speaker 14: energy assessment. Your utility company can help. Or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 14: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:52
  Speaker 14: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors.
• 11:55
  Speaker 14: Check ducts for holes and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:59
  Speaker 14: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:01
  Speaker 14: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:05
  Speaker 14: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 14: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 14: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:15
  Speaker 14: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 14: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission, the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 14: protection agency.
• 12:30
  Speaker 16: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:33
  Speaker 16: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:36
  Speaker 16: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:41
  Speaker 16: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 16: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

  Speaker 16: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: That's right, it's Polka all the time. It's Polka 101.1. Now,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: of course, we're not going to just change formats because
• 13:29
  Speaker 3: Republicans lost an election. Do you think this program has
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: been about Republicans? As a matter of fact, several emails
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: I've received over the last 36 hours are blaming programs
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: like this one for the ignominious defeats that many Republicans
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: are even surprised this morning to find out. I mean,
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: you know, A vegan metrosexual is the Senator from Texas.
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: How did that happen? And the fingers, the mostly index
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: fingers pointed at me, some of them, well, we won't
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: go into it, but the fingers that are pointed at
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: programs like this one is because I don't get here
• 14:23
  Speaker 3: every morning and kick on this microphone for the benefit
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: of a political party, either one of them. Any of
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: the other ones, the backbenchers, I'm not here for them.
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: I'm here for you so that you can get your
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: day started. Because whether you want to sit like Charlie
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Brown after the spelling bee in a dark room for
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: way too long, you got to get up and get
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: at it. Because guess what? Rents do. Guess what? Electric
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: bill is due. And it's higher because of the Democrats
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: that won the last bunch of elections. So, you know,
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: we need to get on with it and we can't
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: sit and wallow for a bunch of people who don't
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: have their hands on the bag of money anymore.
• 15:15
  Speaker 1: He says he's got a deadline.
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 15:22
  Speaker 5: He said there's something important that he needs right now
• 15:24
  Speaker 5: that's unspecified. I go to work.
• 15:27
  Speaker 14: He says he knows I put in a long week,
• 15:29
  Speaker 14: but he's got.
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: To be in PCB. So he needs me.
• 15:33
  Speaker 13: So I go to work.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: And Red's due next week. You know, and in all realities,
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: you know, reality checks show up in places so many times.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: The fates are out there pulling on your pant legs
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: and hey, hey, hey. I know you care a lot
• 15:49
  Speaker 3: about who wins this election. And yes, there are important
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: things to watch out for. And I've said this on
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: mornings like this before. The organizations, as much as, bless
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: their heart, they try, Republicans and Democrats, the organizations you
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: should be giving money to, look at what George Soros does.
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: You know, there's the, what's it called, the invest like
• 16:12
  Speaker 3: Nancy campaign. website out there that will help people invest
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: like Nancy Pelosi does. As soon as Nancy Pelosi increases
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: or decreases her holdings of a stock, it's like, oh,
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: just do what Nancy does and you'll have a happy retirement.
• 16:37
  Speaker 3: There is a reality that is overarching. And yes, there
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: are people who want to substantively change this country. It is,
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: as I said yesterday, and I'm holding to it, this
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: was Barack Obama versus Donald Trump. It is the smooth-talking
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: polyester populism that has to be fair, I'm not going
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: to change the point, led France to where it is.
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: So when we wind up like France is now, I
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: will probably be sitting here saying, what's that phrase? I
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: told you so. It doesn't mean it can't be changed. See,
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: here's the peril for the laughing Democrat right now. You
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: convinced a lot of people like Luigi Mangione to that
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: there were people that were going to screw them over
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: or have been screwing them over. And the reason I
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: dropped Luigi's name is not because I want to give
• 17:49
  Speaker 3: him run, but I want you to know who I'm
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: talking about. The murderer who shot in cold blood, though
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: he would argue it wasn't cold blood, the CEO of UnitedHealthcare.
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: All these folks like James Tallarico have won an election
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: based on telling people like Luigi Mangione that they've been
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: screwed over by Republicans and vote for me and I'll
• 18:13
  Speaker 3: go fix that. I'm warning you now, when you don't
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: fix that, and you won't, the people you have been
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: playing to aren't just going to not show up at
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: the next election. Ask Gabrielle Giffords what happens when constituents
• 18:45
  Speaker 3: feel like you lied to them and they're in tenuous
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: grip of their last good marbles. There are violent people
• 18:57
  Speaker 3: out there who have a very tenuous grip on their
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: last good marble and they get preyed upon by politicians
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: who need the activism, who want to sell this idea
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: that the things wrong in your world are someone's fault.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: Don't blame you. Don't blame me. It's the other guy
• 19:17
  Speaker 3: behind the tree. So you can boil it all down to. Well,
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: now it's put up or shut up time, come January.
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: Are you going to be able to deliver the strawberries
• 19:32
  Speaker 3: and cream, or are there going to be excuses? Because
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: some of the people that you've been selling this to
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: aren't going to listen to your excuses. They know where
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: the pitchforks and torches are. For historical reference, look up
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: the name Robespierre, or the phrase the terrors. What happens
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: once you can convince a class of people that you
• 19:58
  Speaker 3: have made poor for your benefit and now are using
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: that poverty to win power? When you don't fix that poverty,
• 20:12
  Speaker 3: which you won't, they now know where the pitchforks and
• 20:20
  Speaker 3: torches are. History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes. We've got
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: a lot to get into this morning, but just for
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: some standpoints, oh, wow, this is huge. Maybe in South Carolina,
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: I'll give you that. Not because the seat was Lindsey
• 20:43
  Speaker 3: Graham's and he should have been able to will it
• 20:45
  Speaker 3: to his sister. No, that's like the Murkowski family. They
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: don't buy that. But there were 2 million votes cast
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: in the South Carolina Senate race out of 3.47 million
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: total registered voters. That's a voter turnout of 57.6%. Good
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: on you. Actually, voter turnout's over 50%. Texas, not so much.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: North Carolina, not so much. Virginia, right at 50%. As
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: I said, when half of us stay home And you're like,
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: I didn't like any of them. I didn't believe any
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: of them. Yeah, but you know what? You've given power
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: to people who really would like to take the Bill
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: of Rights, which we need to fundraise for. We need
• 21:49
  Speaker 3: to defend these groups like the Founding Freedoms Law Center.
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: We need to defend them because they're taking the Bill
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: of Rights into court for us. It's our last line
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: of defense.

  Speaker 7: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 22:08
  Speaker 7: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 22:13
  Speaker 7: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 22:27
  Speaker 7: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:32
  Speaker 7: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 7: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 7: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: Products on the market.
• 24:12
  Speaker 7: Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 24:18
  Speaker 7: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 24:22
  Speaker 7: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 24:26
  Speaker 7: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:32
  Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:37
  Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer,
• 24:43
  Speaker 7: or at least slow the spread of cancer, and in
• 24:46
  Speaker 7: many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy

  Speaker 2: We didn't make talk radio. We made it better. First
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Don't you.
• 28:22
  Speaker 17: Dare. Don't you tread on me. Don't you tread.
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: So how can you be so sure, Joe, writes Bob
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: to 434-882-4217. No, it's not all polka all the time,
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: Mary said. I love the idea, Al at 101.1. Remember
• 28:56
  Speaker 3: when that was the fixation in broadcast radio was all
• 29:00
  Speaker 3: your radio stations had to have a name. It was
• 29:03
  Speaker 3: Joe at 95.1. It was Frank at 99.9. All Al,
• 29:12
  Speaker 3: all the time. And it's understandable. Please don't misunderstandify. It
• 29:21
  Speaker 3: is an entirely understandable feeling to want to just stay
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: under the covers this morning because you believe in conservative
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: principles and a bunch of people who, Don't. I've just
• 29:36
  Speaker 3: won the keys to the candy shop. A bunch of
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: people who, like their Lord High Mugwump, Barack H. Obama,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: believes that the Bill of Rights is an outdated document
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: of negative provisions rather than one that tells the American
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: people what they should expect from their government. And that's
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: the peril. And that's why as much as the political
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: parties will come to you and say, we need more money,
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: Republican Party had more money this year than they've had
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: in the last 50 years combined. It's not about that.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: And maybe that's the problem is they think it's about that.
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: Maybe that's why they lose. For example, New York State,
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: we were talking about turnout games. 5.9 million people voted
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: in between Kathy Hochul and Bruce Blakeman. Out of 12.3
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: million residents, 48% voter turnout. You stay home and you
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: get what you pay for. And you're like, well, I
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: didn't like any of those people. Okay, well, there's an
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: agenda on it. Now, I'm not going to say for
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: five seconds that it's my job to go out and
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: campaign for these people. They pay big money for people
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: to lose elections for them. I can make my money
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: actually being successful at something. But it's a business model.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: You've got to give the consultants that lose these elections.
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: It's not easy to build a campaign of resting defeat
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: from the jaws of victory. But maybe they do count on, oh,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: we've got all the money, so we're going to buy
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: all the ads and therefore we're going to win. No,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: we're not. You're going to make your consultants very wealthy
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: because they get 25 to 40 percent of all the
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: ad spending. And that's how you pay. If you didn't realize,
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: that's how you pay most political consultants based on how
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: much advertising spending they make. So that's why they need
• 32:01
  Speaker 3: all this money, because they want all this money. It's
• 32:04
  Speaker 3: not even the candidates. It's their consultants. It's their James
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: Carvilles of the world. That's how they make themselves wealthy.
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: You should be giving your money to organizations like the
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: Founding Freedoms Law Center and the NRA's gun defense law
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: firms that go into these places that Gun Owners of America,
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: the Private Property Rights Institute, they have lawyers on retainer
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: to go in and defend your private property rights. Groups
• 32:43
  Speaker 3: like the Rutherford Institute out of our flagship city in Virginia,
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: founded by Paula Jones' own lawyer, John Whitehead. He knows
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: a thing or two about facing authoritarian governments. Those are
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: the people you should be making your campaign contributions to.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: Of course, obviously, you should be tithing to your churches
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: so that they can continue to tell you that there's
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: a bigger authority than the U.S. House of Representatives. I've
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: got a bunch of folks on the phone, so enough
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: from me. Let's find out what you think of me.
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: Let me put line two in the queue here. Good morning.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Who's this? Good morning, Joe.
• 33:22
  Speaker 11: It's Kareem.
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: Okay. Hey, Kareem. Let me go to line one. Just
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: hang on the line with me, okay? And let's see
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: who's on line one. It's like Chuck Barris in the
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: dating game. More stuff. Who's contestant number one this morning?
• 33:42
  Speaker 12: Hey, good morning, Judge Joel.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: Hey, Joel. How are you doing this morning?
• 33:47
  Speaker 12: I'm okay.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: I hear it in your voice. Don't lie to me.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: Don't lie to me.
• 33:52
  Speaker 12: No, I'm okay.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: You sound like my wife. Or more masculine than my
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: wife does, but you sound a lot like my wife.
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: How could we lose so badly? You know what?
• 34:06
  Speaker 12: My frustration is, okay, let's stop talking about losing right
• 34:13
  Speaker 12: now and say, hey, we have the House, we have
• 34:16
  Speaker 12: the Senate. I almost said the S word. Let's get
• 34:20
  Speaker 12: the stuff passed that's been sitting on your, can I
• 34:24
  Speaker 12: say ducking desk, and get it done. And Susan Collins
• 34:31
  Speaker 12: and all the weirdos like her, get your pen and
• 34:35
  Speaker 12: sign the stuff and shut your mouth. And people that
• 34:41
  Speaker 12: didn't vote and are going to cry a bitch about it,
• 34:46
  Speaker 12: then they need to shut their mouth too.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: You know, you've jumped me ahead. One of the points
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: I wanted to make this morning for our return to
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: normal life, for our reentry issues, if you want to
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: call them that, is that very point that this is
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: a master's class in equivocation. This is what you get.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: People like, oh, wow, what was the message? The message
• 35:12
  Speaker 3: was Republicans were too afraid to do anything. Republicans were
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: You know, listening to their accountants and their consultants and
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: they were they were hand wringing and they were saying, oh, no, no.
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: They were too worried about. How it would look in
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: their reelection and they got what they deserved, which was
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: a massive defeat in a lot of their reelections. This
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: should teach a lesson, I would like to think, to
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: future generations of elected officials that. is do what's right
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: right now and worry about the rest later.
• 35:50
  Speaker 12: Did you remember in Pink Panther where Inspector Clouseau, he
• 35:56
  Speaker 12: goes up and he goes, does your dog bite? And
• 35:59
  Speaker 12: he goes up and tries to pet the dog. And
• 36:03
  Speaker 12: he bites him in the hand. And the guy goes,
• 36:05
  Speaker 12: he goes, I thought you said your dog doesn't bite.
• 36:07
  Speaker 12: He goes, it's not my dog. And it's the same thing.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's a good scene.
• 36:13
  Speaker 12: And it's the same thing. The Republicans or the so-called
• 36:19
  Speaker 12: conservatives go, oh, we're doing this for the people. But
• 36:23
  Speaker 12: the Democrats saw this.
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: They're like, they're not getting anything passed.
• 36:27
  Speaker 12: We're going to get this stuff done. We're going to
• 36:29
  Speaker 12: reverse all the stuff that they've been trying to improve
• 36:32
  Speaker 12: as a blame game on the weaklings, because we're portrayed
• 36:36
  Speaker 12: as weaklings and weirdos. So we're going to portray them
• 36:39
  Speaker 12: as red tie, red, blue, blue wearing suits that go
• 36:44
  Speaker 12: around and wear five thousand dollar suits and say they're
• 36:46
  Speaker 12: doing it for the people. And we're going to go
• 36:48
  Speaker 12: back and ruin the country again and form it the
• 36:50
  Speaker 12: way we want. And we're going to win. And and
• 36:53
  Speaker 12: and and it was like, well, they were saying, hey,
• 36:57
  Speaker 12: we're not the dog. You know, we're not that we're
• 37:00
  Speaker 12: we're going to take care of our constituents while they
• 37:02
  Speaker 12: sat on their hands.
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: Well, but that's the thing. And part of it is
• 37:06
  Speaker 3: our fault for asking them to take care of us.
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: because it's a fool's errand. They don't have the authority
• 37:11
  Speaker 3: to take care of us. And every time they try,
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: they wind up falling further and further behind. So what
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: they do is they just default to diluting our money
• 37:21
  Speaker 3: even more so that they can give us pieces of
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: paper that make us feel like we have money, Joel.
• 37:27
  Speaker 3: And there's a bigger issue with that. We've got a
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: break coming up here, but hang in there, my friend.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: God is, there was a God before there was, there was.
• 37:36
  Speaker 12: A, I'm back to job searching again, too. They threw
• 37:41
  Speaker 12: upon my new job. They said, you're going to have
• 37:43
  Speaker 12: to do labs. You're going to have to process the labs.
• 37:46
  Speaker 12: You're going to have to be a nurse. You're going
• 37:47
  Speaker 12: to have to treat. With two nurses and one doctor,
• 37:49
  Speaker 12: I'm like, I can't type fast enough. And I'm sorry
• 37:52
  Speaker 12: if I disappointed all those people.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: Well, we're all praying for you. We're all praying for
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: each other. I mean, that's the thing. We're all in
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: this together at some point.
• 38:01
  Speaker 20: At Hot Shot Secret, we share the science behind common
• 38:04
  Speaker 20: diesel problems and their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel cetane levels.
• 38:09
  Speaker 20: In many states, the cetane rating in diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 20: 42 to 45. Most diesel engines operate more efficiently with
• 38:15
  Speaker 20: a cetane rating of 48 to 50. One treatment of
• 38:18
  Speaker 20: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your cetane seven points,
• 38:22
  Speaker 20: increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts. Due to a
• 38:25
  Speaker 20: cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons and particulate matter in
• 38:28
  Speaker 20: your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of your diesel particulate filter.
• 38:33
  Speaker 20: Using Diesel Extreme generates 83% less DPF regenerations. The 6-in-1
• 38:38
  Speaker 20: Diesel Extreme formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on
• 38:43
  Speaker 20: the market, lubricity enhancer, water demulsifier, rust and corrosion inhibitors,
• 38:48
  Speaker 20: and a fuel stabilizer.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme is available nationwide at truck stops,

  Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 40:14
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes!
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Yes!
• 40:17
  Speaker 13: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food, made into your
• 40:21
  Speaker 13: favorite form of ear candy. Oh, my. Those bejeweled sprinkles
• 40:26
  Speaker 13: have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 40:28
  Speaker 17: Shhh.
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: Do you smell that?
• 40:32
  Speaker 13: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is goodwill.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: And with every item.
• 40:40
  Speaker 13: You buy, you fund local job training and more. So
• 40:44
  Speaker 13: go forth. Bring home those donut earrings. And bring home
• 40:49
  Speaker 13: so much good to your community.
• 40:54
  Speaker 3: Goodwill.
• 40:55
  Speaker 13: Bring good home.

  Speaker 1: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 1: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 1: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 1: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 1: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 1: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 1: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 41:37
  Speaker 1: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 41:41
  Speaker 13: Eat better. Get moving.

  Speaker 3: don't tell me what to do.
• 43:09
  Speaker 5: Cannonball!
• 43:12

  Speaker 4: Oh, I have a cramp. I can probably hit the

• 43:19
  Speaker 3: Probably. Can I get a mulligan? Ready to go?
• 43:27
  Speaker 18: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 43:33
  Speaker 12: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking

  Speaker 3: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,

  Speaker 2: Here is the sound of thousands of sadness. First thing
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: today by Joe Thomas on.
• 44:22
  Speaker 16: The Talk Media Network.
• 44:23
  Speaker 20: Searching for a friend to share my time.
• 44:26
  Speaker 17: Looking for a mountain I can climb. Ain't afraid of death.
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Oh no one do. Quick point of order for those
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: in the funk. A couple of points of order that
• 44:50
  Speaker 3: I think are important. Number one, the campaign to do, quote,
• 44:55
  Speaker 3: the unthinkable, which is elect a Democrat governor of Texas
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: or a Democrat vegan metrosexual. as a senator from Texas,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: began a decade ago. And the Democrats bragged about it.
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: They were like, we need people moving to Texas. Do
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: you think every Californian that moved to Texas was doing
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: it because they secretly didn't like Gavin Newsom's policies? This
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: was a tactical influx of Democrat voters into Texas that
• 45:36
  Speaker 3: they spoke about publicly. We're going to flip Texas blue.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: They would go and brag about it at conventions. They
• 45:43
  Speaker 3: didn't care if it was broadcasted live. And what did
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: people except maybe Ted Cruz joke about? Oh, you listen
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: to these guys. They think they're going to change it.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: And they did. Now- Now there's parts of this that
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: are important to you. Here he goes playing with his
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: arithmetic again. My abacus, the beads must be played with.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: So 9.4 million Texans divvied up their votes between Tallarico
• 46:19
  Speaker 3: and Paxson, mostly for Tallarico, like two to one. And
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: by the way, Quick note for Republicans who are like,
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: how did Paxton lose? I don't know. You spend half
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: the year calling somebody a felon and a corrupt politician,
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: and then you wonder why the Republicans don't turn out
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: to vote for him. Well, guess what? They were the
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: ones who voted for the other guy in the primary
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: that called him a corrupt felon. So don't look at
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: me and say, well, what did we do? well, we
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: were just trying to win. Well, and you weren't trying
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: to leave much left if you didn't either. So anyway, 9.4
• 46:53
  Speaker 3: million votes between the two of them out of 19.04
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: registered voters, 49%, 50% of all Texans, probably mostly the
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: ones that believed Paxton was a felon and a corrupt person.
• 47:15
  Speaker 3: money-grabbing politician, criminal probably, all those things that were done
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: during the primary, stay at home. Stay at home. But
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: it's not just Texas. Every place, 50% voter turnout, 50%, which,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: to be fair, about 5% higher than I expected. But
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: the answer is in that other 50%. The answer is
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: in better politicians. An answer is in better us. understanding
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: that the politician doesn't make the country, and understanding that
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: conservative principles existed before the United States did. I mean, technically,
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: John Locke's theories go back hundreds of years before the
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: United States tried to put them into practice. The philosophy
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: of we hold these truths to be self-evident and all
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: men are created equal predates the United States by a
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: long time. We just became the first place that picked
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: up the— I said, well, what if we try to make
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: a government that does this? And I warned you about
• 48:24
  Speaker 3: this for all the time we're together, and I will continue,
• 48:27
  Speaker 3: because they will say words like freedom. You use words
• 48:32
  Speaker 3: like freedom and liberty like a punchline at a cocktail party, Caffey.
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: They will use words like freedom, and what they mean
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: is freedom from responsibility. They want to take you and
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: create a bill of rights that says you have the
• 48:50
  Speaker 3: right to a place to live. You have a right
• 48:52
  Speaker 3: to money from the government. And if anyone even speaks
• 48:57
  Speaker 3: of denying or infringing on your right to money from
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: the government, they violated the law. We just passed two
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: masterclasses of them here in Virginia. On a two-to-one margin,
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: if I run a crisis pregnancy center, I could be
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: considered a felon. Good thing I'll get my voting rights
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: back when my sentence... is up, because that would be
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: seen as denying somebody the right to terminate a pregnancy.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: What about the right of the unborn child? Still go
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: back to my point. There's a way to fight abortion.
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: And what we've watched is more and more people saying,
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: I just like sex, and I like to use abortion
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: as birth control because it's awkward, and you've got to stop,
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: and you've got to put the thing on, and then
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: it ruins the mood. And what, too crass? Is that
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: not what is behind all these abortion pills and amendments?
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: It's just using abortion as, you know, a more convenient
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: form of birth control? Tell me I'm wrong. Call me up.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: Tell me I'm lying. Kareem is on the line. Maybe
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: he'll tell me that at 434-882-4217. Or maybe I just
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: shouldn't speak that way. But you know what? We've watched
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: a bunch of capitulators and a bunch of appeasers who
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: don't say it the way you and I talk about
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: it all the time. I'm not doing this because Republicans
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: lost a lot yesterday. I've said this before, and I'll
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: say it again, I'm pretty sure. It was the hand-ringers
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: and the capitulators and the obfuscators that said, oh, my
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: consultant said I really shouldn't say stuff like that. And
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: you got shown the door. Thank you very much. Thanks
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: for playing. Hamp in Virginia Beach, you know, listening, no,
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: Hamp on the Treasure Coast, you know, nails it with the,
• 51:00
  Speaker 3: Text message. Or was it Scott in Virginia Beach? Oh,
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: it's Hamp in Vero Beach and Scott in Virginia Beach.
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: Scott in Virginia Beach. Thankfully, my self-worth is not tied
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: to the political party in power. Amen. Scott, thank you
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: for listening on WTAR this morning. Hamp, listening to WTTB
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: on the Treasure Coast where Herodopolis won re-election. You got that?
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: And you won your Senate race and the governor's race.
• 51:28
  Speaker 3: I think ours can pass the SAVE Act before everything
• 51:31
  Speaker 3: goes to, insert the word excrement here. I don't think
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: they want to. I don't think they want to. I
• 51:38
  Speaker 3: don't think they're going to do anything. And if anything,
• 51:40
  Speaker 3: I'll expect at least one outgoing Republican to propose a bill, Hamp,
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: that will freeze Congress, that will ostensibly put Congress on
• 51:53
  Speaker 3: recess for the remainder of the lame-duck session. as a
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: gift to the incoming, we shouldn't pass things with an
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: incoming change of the government. Our voters have spoken, Ham.
• 52:09
  Speaker 3: I expect the Democrats to try to come up with
• 52:13
  Speaker 3: legislation to stop that. I've heard Hakeem Jeffries already has
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: a bill in his top desk drawer that would prohibit
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: under some parliamentary rules of order the outgoing lame duck
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: Congress from passing any legislation. I don't know. I paid
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: for a full year. Kicking me out with a couple
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: of months to go doesn't seem to be fulfilling my
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: lease on this particular congressional office. I'm sorry, Karim. I
• 52:45
  Speaker 3: know I said we were coming to you. It's discussion.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Interrupt us. I will come right back to you after
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: the news.
• 52:51
  Speaker 10: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 52:54
  Speaker 10: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 52:58
  Speaker 10: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
