  Speaker 3: who had never seen the show, heard the band on
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: the radio and whatnot, but had never seen the show
• 2:14

• 2:20
  Speaker 3: that we're doing it again this year. So if you
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: go to JoeThomasInTheMorning.com, one word, all one word, Facebook, that's it, JoeThomasInTheMorning.com.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: There's a link and you'll see a list of places
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: where this show and the 30th anniversary Trans-Siberian Orchestra tour
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: intersect with one another. And, you know, once you're there,
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: just pick the one you want to go see and
• 2:49
  Speaker 3: enter to win it. And, you know, I'll be the
• 2:51
  Speaker 3: first one to say that maybe you're listening to us
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: in Fairbanks and And I'm sorry, they're not playing Fairbanks.
• 2:57
  Speaker 3: But if you want to, you know, take a road trip,
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: we've got Portland. I don't know if that's considered a dual.
• 3:03
  Speaker 3: You know, you do have to go through Canada, I guess.
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: You know, you choose whether you're ready to go through
• 3:10
  Speaker 3: Canada or not. But if you are, you can certainly
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: pick that one. That one would work just as well.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: But now let's get into our first things. But you
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: go do that while you listen. Justice Department has announced
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: charges against 16 people in election related cases. They include
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: allegations of voting by non-citizens, fraudulent voter registration, voting multiple
• 3:39
  Speaker 3: times and trying to cast a ballot on behalf of
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: a deceased person. The violations happened in 2022 or 2024 elections.
• 3:47
  Speaker 3: As well, they also announced cases of folks illegally obtaining U.S. citizenship. No,
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: that would never happen. Department of Homeland Security said New
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: York has refused to honor more than 16,000 immigration and
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: customs enforcement detainers that are tied to 52,000 criminal charges
• 4:12
  Speaker 3: and convictions, including 131 homicides, 132 kidnappings, and 1,017 sexual offenses.
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: Reminds me of that scene from Blazing Saddles. I like...
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: If you've seen it, you've seen it. European leaders are
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: standing by sanctions against Russia despite President Trump's agreement with
• 4:38
  Speaker 3: the Russian government to ease restrictions on diesel shipment. European
• 4:43
  Speaker 3: Union Monday adopted new sanctions against 1,569 individuals... tied to
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: Russia's military-industrial complex. And here we thought we were the
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: only ones with one. President Trump called Congresswoman Ilhan Omar
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: of Minnesota totally crooked Monday as he headed into Youngstown
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: to hold a campaign rally for John Husted and Vivek Ramaswamy.
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: This comes on the heels of a federal search of
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: the Congresswoman's Washington, D.C.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: Home.
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: But he didn't comment on what they were looking for,
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: saying that that's something to take up with the Justice Department.
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: Al Qaeda is threatening to kill Americans. This isn't new,
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: but they're doing it because of the planned execution of
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hassan, saying that, The day
• 5:48
  Speaker 3: America makes this decision, it will have made a decision
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: to execute whoever among you falls captive to us. And
• 5:57
  Speaker 3: those are some of our first things on this Tuesday
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: morning here all along the Talk Media Network.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Hi, this is Bud Foster, co-host of Foster and Friends
• 6:13
  Speaker 6: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:15
  Speaker 6: famed lunch pail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: word win stood for what's important now. The Lunch Pail

  Speaker 7: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 7: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:08
  Speaker 8: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there

  Speaker 8: was no hassle.

• 7:28
  Speaker 4: with you through the hardest times of your life.

• 8:04
  Speaker 12: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:09
  Speaker 12: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:14
  Speaker 12: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:19
  Speaker 12: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 12: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:29
  Speaker 12: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:33
  Speaker 12: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  Speaker 12: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:40
  Speaker 12: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:43
  Speaker 12: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 8:48
  Speaker 12: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 17: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:38
  Speaker 17: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:42
  Speaker 17: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:45
  Speaker 17: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization.
• 9:48
  Speaker 10: And even death.
• 9:49
  Speaker 17: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 17: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:57
  Speaker 17: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 10:00

• 10:14
  Speaker 17: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:18
  Speaker 17: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 10:20

• 13:47
  Speaker 3: Tis the season, and I'm telling you, I love reading
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: the letters. Last year, the first time we hooked up
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: with Nightcastle and Live Nation to give you all, my
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: new family on this network, a chance to go see
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: Trans-Siberian Orchestra where you are. Um, the, the letters I
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: got after that were just so heartwarming people who had
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: never seen the band, knew the band obviously, but had
• 14:17
  Speaker 3: never had a chance to go see them. Um, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 3: we're just blown away. And I think there were hundreds
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: of new family traditions started just last year, uh, through our, uh,
• 14:27
  Speaker 3: giving away tickets and, and, and hopefully you go again.
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: This year, the tour is getting ready to launch November 22nd.
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: Our friends listening in Youngstown will get some of the
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: first chances to get plugged into the Christmas spirit. Joel Hoekstra,
• 14:46
  Speaker 3: lead guitar for Trans-Siberian Orchestra, is on with us, getting
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: ready to kick off a 30th anniversary tour. Joel, you know,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: Merry Christmas. Yeah, exactly.
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: Exactly.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know.
• 15:01
  Speaker 22: It's just so funny when this the promo begins and
• 15:04
  Speaker 22: people are like, oh, I'm not ready to hear that.
• 15:07
  Speaker 22: But it's it's well, tickets are on sale kind of thing.
• 15:10
  Speaker 22: You know, it's like you've got to let you know.
• 15:11
  Speaker 22: What do you want to we can't tell you a
• 15:13
  Speaker 22: week before Christmas.
• 15:14
  Speaker 10: I mean, so. Yeah.
• 15:15
  Speaker 22: I'm just trying to get the word out and listen,
• 15:17
  Speaker 22: nobody's been more helpful than you over the years, man.
• 15:20
  Speaker 22: And I just want to take a moment to say
• 15:22
  Speaker 22: thank you to you for the, for every, everything you've
• 15:24
  Speaker 22: done for us and how much you, you've stood behind
• 15:28
  Speaker 22: the band and believed in the band. And so thank you.
• 15:31
  Speaker 22: You know, we, we, without your help, man, you've just
• 15:34
  Speaker 22: been amazing.
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: Well, it's the power of music. And I think it's
• 15:37
  Speaker 3: the power of, you know, the things that, unite us
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: in the world. I talk a lot because we do
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: a lot of news and things like that. And I
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: talk about how it seems like 95% of the news
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: coverage goes to 5% of the people and that the
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: rest of us are out here just, you know, trying
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: to pay our bills and get on with things. And
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: music is one of those great places where, you know,
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: I don't know if it's refuge or, you know, I
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: guess refuge works for me. the place where we all
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: come together and say, yeah, I get it. And we're
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: talking about the things that are going on in our
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: lives and the things we wish were going on in
• 16:19
  Speaker 3: our lives. And I think that's one of the neat
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: things about TSO is it takes, you know, rough stories
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: and makes them beautiful stories and the most beautiful story and,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: you know, puts it on the level where we all are.
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: And I think that's why everyone plugs into it for Christmastime, Joel.
• 16:39
  Speaker 3: I'm sorry to make it a little deeper than that.
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: One of these days, there'll be a university degree program
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: on the impact of Trans-Siberian Orchestra. But for now, it
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: just has got to be fun to get ready to
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: go out there again.
• 16:53
  Speaker 1: It is.
• 16:54
  Speaker 14: I mean, you know, you touched on some very important
• 16:59
  Speaker 14: things there.
• 16:59
  Speaker 22: I mean, one of the most remarkable things about the
• 17:02
  Speaker 22: TSO experience and show is that really it's like it
• 17:06
  Speaker 22: appeals to so many different types of people we have.
• 17:08
  Speaker 22: all the way from children to older people that are there.
• 17:11
  Speaker 22: I mean, you, you know, the production itself is incredible.
• 17:14
  Speaker 22: We've got this video wall, the width of the arena
• 17:17
  Speaker 22: with all the imagery and all this incredible laser light
• 17:20
  Speaker 22: show and pyro and the performers were playing on hydraulic
• 17:23
  Speaker 22: lifts out over the audience and in the back of
• 17:25
  Speaker 22: the arena, going to the upper deck and, and, we're
• 17:28
  Speaker 22: out in the crowd playing directly in front of you
• 17:31
  Speaker 22: and it snows indoors. And last year we added in
• 17:33
  Speaker 22: that whole thing with like drones flying around the performers
• 17:36
  Speaker 22: and taking shapes over the, around the performers and whatnot.
• 17:40
  Speaker 22: I mean, yeah, the kids love that stuff. And then
• 17:42
  Speaker 22: you've got this story on the front half, obviously accompanied
• 17:45
  Speaker 22: by music and it kind of puts the older audiences
• 17:48
  Speaker 22: and the holiday spirit. Then you got rock fans like
• 17:51
  Speaker 22: myself were like, well, this is just a great rock show. So,
• 17:54
  Speaker 22: there it's really funny how somebody you know will always
• 17:57
  Speaker 22: find something different that was their favorite part you know
• 18:00
  Speaker 22: you can ask everybody going through it you know something
• 18:02
  Speaker 22: else we do after every evening show there's a free
• 18:04
  Speaker 22: signing line a free meet.
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: And greet yeah everybody.
• 18:07
  Speaker 14: So you know yeah i'll ask people on the.
• 18:10
  Speaker 22: Way through a lot of times what was your favorite
• 18:11
  Speaker 22: part and it's amazing how many different answers you get
• 18:14
  Speaker 22: you know you typically most shows i feel like you'd
• 18:16
  Speaker 22: ask people that you'd get like you know one or
• 18:18
  Speaker 22: two things said to you like this was the best
• 18:20
  Speaker 22: part but It's just a great feeling to hear so
• 18:23
  Speaker 22: many different answers and just know that this is just
• 18:26
  Speaker 22: such a unique thing that Paula Neal set up. And,
• 18:29
  Speaker 22: you know, I guess I should also probably touch on
• 18:31
  Speaker 22: the charity aspect. The dollar from every ticket sold goes
• 18:34
  Speaker 22: to local charities. while we do this and, you know,
• 18:37
  Speaker 22: over the years we've sold 20 million tickets. So, you know,
• 18:39
  Speaker 22: you could do the math, obviously you don't need to
• 18:41
  Speaker 22: be a mathematician to say, okay, well, you've raised over
• 18:43
  Speaker 22: $ 20 million for local charities.
• 18:46
  Speaker 14: And yeah, that's an incredible aspect of what we do.
• 18:49
  Speaker 22: So there's a lot of great things that Paul just
• 18:51
  Speaker 22: kind of set up when he set up TSO.
• 18:53
  Speaker 14: And I guess that's why we're here 30 years later.
• 18:56
  Speaker 14: I mean, it's like incredible 30th anniversary.
• 18:59
  Speaker 22: And, you know, I think for me, I joined roughly
• 19:01
  Speaker 22: halfway through, I guess this is like, you know, 16,
• 19:03
  Speaker 22: 17 years for me. And, I certainly feel like a veteran,
• 19:07
  Speaker 22: but some of the guys that have been there the
• 19:09
  Speaker 22: entire time still look at me like I'm a new guy,
• 19:11
  Speaker 22: which is amazing.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: Well, I remember the day Al Petrelli came into a
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: radio station studio on Long Island. He used to come
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: in and tell us whose sessions he was sitting in
• 19:21
  Speaker 3: on or working on. So we always kind of felt
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: like we knew who was coming out with an album.
• 19:26
  Speaker 3: And he came in, he says, hey, I'm going away
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: for a while. I'm going out to California to cut
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: a Christmas record. I think he had just finished working
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: with Dee Snider on Widowmaker, and we're like, really?
• 19:39
  Speaker 23: Christmas?
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: Okay, good luck with that. And we figured, you know,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: that would be the, he'd be back in three, three
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: weeks or whatever. Um, and who knew never came back, uh, and,
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: and just launched something incredible. And, and, and what an
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: understatement that is to, to call, you know, Christmas, even
• 19:59
  Speaker 3: other stories, a Christmas album, I think is, is actually the,
• 20:03
  Speaker 3: one of the great understatements in the world, uh, Joel.
• 20:07
  Speaker 22: It's absolutely incredible how ingrained in North American holiday culture
• 20:13
  Speaker 22: TSO is at this point.
• 20:15
  Speaker 14: It's remarkable.
• 20:16
  Speaker 22: I mean, look, I'm just a guy who started playing
• 20:19
  Speaker 22: guitar when I was young and just wanted to be
• 20:21
  Speaker 22: a guitar player. And to be a part of something
• 20:23
  Speaker 22: like this, not just to play music that I enjoy
• 20:27
  Speaker 22: with people that I enjoy. Obviously, we've got a great
• 20:30
  Speaker 22: tradition in the band itself. We see each other every
• 20:33
  Speaker 22: year and spend the holidays together. But you know, our
• 20:35
  Speaker 22: fan base, these meet and greets, we're, we're tight with
• 20:38
  Speaker 22: a lot of them, you know, we're friends with them.
• 20:39
  Speaker 22: We're on a first name basis with a lot of,
• 20:41
  Speaker 22: a lot of the fan base. And, uh, but to
• 20:44
  Speaker 22: be a part of that production, I mean, to like
• 20:47
  Speaker 22: stand on that stage is just like, it's an incredible feeling,
• 20:50
  Speaker 22: you know, I, it's just stuff that I guess the,
• 20:53
  Speaker 22: if you were to show this to the, the child
• 20:56
  Speaker 22: version of me, I literally wouldn't believe it. So it's
• 21:00
  Speaker 22: cool to, to have, um, somehow landed in Paul's orbit
• 21:05
  Speaker 22: with this whole thing.
• 21:06
  Speaker 14: I'm sure Al would say the same.
• 21:07
  Speaker 22: Just to be a part of this incredible idea of
• 21:12
  Speaker 22: his and watch it come to fruition, it's really been
• 21:16
  Speaker 22: an amazing experience.
• 21:17
  Speaker 3: Well, like I tell my kids all the time, it's
• 21:19
  Speaker 3: eyes open, head on the swivel. You never know what
• 21:22

• 28:17
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you. 434-882-4217.
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: That's right.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: Get the sweet sound.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: Those parts of the country that are listening to us
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: in the early morning hours, put the love phone's voice
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: on and see if it gets steamy in here. Okay, yes,
• 28:48
  Speaker 3: it got awkward there for a minute, but that's just
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: on me. 434-882-4217 is how we get together and break
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: down the news of the day from the campaign trail.
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: One of the voices that every commentary, whether it's Cook
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: or Sabado, all these folks saying, oh, keep an eye
• 29:08
  Speaker 3: on Virginia's 5th. Oh, keep an eye. And it's mostly
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: it's because that George Soros' right-hand man is running against
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: John McGuire, who is trying to continue to represent Virginia
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: and the conservative movement in Congress in the face of
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: literally facing. There are an awful lot of people getting
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: an awful lot of money, like Abdul El-Sayed from the
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: Soros family. Tom Perriello actually was the guy who ran
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: the Open Society Foundation for George Soros until Alex was
• 29:46
  Speaker 3: old enough to be mitzvahed, and then he took over.
• 29:49
  Speaker 3: So Tom's back looking for his old job back in Virginia,
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: but it's an entirely different 5th District than it was
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: when he won it in 2008. And he doesn't have
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: Obama's coattails to ride on either, though he has been
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: in the district fundraising for him. John McGuire, Congressman, good
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: to hear from you, sir. How are you doing?
• 30:10
  Speaker 10: Hey, it's good.
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: It's three weeks ago, 21 days, but who's counting?
• 30:14
  Speaker 10: We're in the final stretch.
• 30:16
  Speaker 8: And, you know, someone told me before I came on,
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: he said that one person in Virginia knows a lot
• 30:20
  Speaker 8: about Tom Perriello is Joe Thomas.
• 30:23
  Speaker 10: You hit the nail on the head. He hit the
• 30:25
  Speaker 10: nail on the head. He ran the Open Society Foundation.
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: And I don't know if a lot of people know,
• 30:28
  Speaker 8: but the Summer of Love in 2020 when Black Lives
• 30:32
  Speaker 8: Matter burned our cities for eight months, the Open Society
• 30:37
  Speaker 8: Foundation gave Black Lives Matter $ 220 million. And, you know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: we talk about the Democrats with socialism and Marxist-Communist policies
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: on the rise in the country. People say, well, what's
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: your proof? Well, communist Russia, they have a playbook. They
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: use mass migration to destabilize Europe. It's so bad that
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: Finland and Poland and other countries had to shut their
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: border down.
• 31:02
  Speaker 10: But this time, the Democrats... News and Open.
• 31:06
  Speaker 8: Society and George Soros have destabilized our country. During the
• 31:10
  Speaker 8: Biden administration, we don't know the number, 15, 20 million.
• 31:14
  Speaker 8: I heard Trump say 25 million criminal illegal aliens came
• 31:18
  Speaker 8: into our country and robbed, raped, and killed the American people.
• 31:22
  Speaker 10: And sadly, I hate her.
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: Inform the audience, but Joe, I know you, you probably know,
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: in Louisa County, a two-year-old girl was raped and murdered
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: by an illegal alien.
• 31:34
  Speaker 10: Goochland's sheriff tried to save her life about a month
• 31:36
  Speaker 10: or so ago, but she died.
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: That's preventable, and I think the Democrats are complicit for
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: all the children that have been raped, all the American
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: citizens that have been killed or robbed, During the Biden administration,
• 31:50
  Speaker 8: it's unbelievable. You wouldn't leave the front door of your
• 31:53
  Speaker 8: house open and let just anybody come into the bedroom
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: of your children.
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: No.
• 31:57
  Speaker 10: And the Democrats are complicit.
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: Well, we just said the story in our news this morning.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: ICE has released statistics out of New York City. 52,000
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: crimes committed by 16,000 illegals that ICE sought detainers on
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: that were ignored by the police. And that includes 131
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: homicides and 1,017 sexual offenses. And that's what we're talking
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: about here is just these are the people who law
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: enforcement catches and they want to let them go before
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: ICE takes them back to detention and deports them from
• 32:38
  Speaker 3: this country.
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: I want to ask the Democrats, when are you going
• 32:43
  Speaker 8: to stop being for them? and start being for us,
• 32:49
  Speaker 8: when are you going to stop being for the people
• 32:51
  Speaker 8: that want to destroy our country and start being for
• 32:53
  Speaker 8: we the people? We look at Minnesota, we found all
• 32:56
  Speaker 8: this fraud, and they went after the people that found
• 32:59
  Speaker 8: the fraud instead of.
• 33:01
  Speaker 10: The people that committed the fraud.
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: Well, no, we have the Nick Shirley law in California
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: now that says, oh, you shouldn't be videotaping people without
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: their permission and And it's like you said, it's pay
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: no attention to the fraud because you weren't supposed to
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: see it there. But, you know, let's circle back to
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: Soros and Perriello is what's interesting to me for this
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: guy is he's trying to distance himself from the Democratic Socialists.
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: They held a rally. He realized it was a Democratic
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: Socialist Party rally. And when the press came, he wanted
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: to be interviewed in another room so that he wasn't
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: seen in front of D.S.A. banners and paraphernalia. So he's
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: trying to run from his past. He's trying to run
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: from the fact that Soros and in many cases, Tom
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: himself greenlit a lot of this money going to these organizations.
• 33:58
  Speaker 3: And like Abigail Spanberger, your governor and mine, play the
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: centrist card, pretend like, oh, no, no, I wasn't there
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: at the time. It was an honorary, because I don't
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: know what he's using as an excuse. for his offenses
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: in this case. But they're trying to have their cake
• 34:17
  Speaker 3: and eat it too, John. Is the case being made?
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: How is it when you meet the voters? Are they
• 34:24
  Speaker 3: getting that?
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: Some are, some aren't, but we did a poll. I
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: don't trust polls, but we had a couple of good polls.
• 34:31
  Speaker 10: But you never know.
• 34:33
  Speaker 8: I think the thing that's going to kill the Republican
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: Party is apathy. If our people show up, bottom line,
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: we will win. And so I would ask all of
• 34:41
  Speaker 8: your listeners every day, get 10 people to vote.
• 34:43
  Speaker 10: If you do that, we'll win.
• 34:45
  Speaker 8: And I got to tell you, one day, you're going
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: to look at the dictionary under the term bait and switch,
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: and you're going to see a picture of Abigail Stamberger.
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: And it's going to– she ran on affordability, and within
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: a week, her and the Democrats and the General Assembly
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: proposed over 50 new taxes.
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: But she gave them a 300 percent pay raise.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: So I would say she ran on affordability just not
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: for you but for them. She ran on law and order,
• 35:10
  Speaker 8: and she said– I'm sorry, public safety. And the first
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: thing she did was she said she doesn't want congenial
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: law enforcement cooperating with federal law enforcement, which is what
• 35:22
  Speaker 8: they did in Minnesota.
• 35:23
  Speaker 10: Why would you want to be like Tim Walz?
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: When you don't cooperate at the local, state, and federal level,
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: you put the officer's life in danger, you put the
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: community in danger, and you put the person you're apprehending.
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: Now let's tie that into Perriello. Perry Yellow, when he
• 35:37
  Speaker 8: was the Democrat congressman for the Fifth, he said he
• 35:41
  Speaker 8: was a pro-life, pro-gun Democrat. He said he was pro-life, pro-gun.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: And then when he ran against more than a primary,
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: he said he wasn't pro-life and he wasn't pro-gun. These
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: people will say or do anything to get your vote.
• 35:55
  Speaker 8: And it's bait and switch. And then they do all
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: the things that you hate. And by the way, you
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: talked about DSA. You noticed that was.
• 36:02
  Speaker 10: In the beginning. He wanted to be interviewed in a
• 36:04
  Speaker 10: different room.
• 36:05
  Speaker 8: But he just got endorsed by AOC, Democrat Socialist, because
• 36:09
  Speaker 8: he supports her policies.
• 36:11
  Speaker 10: So he ain't running now.
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: Now he realizes he's having trouble and he wants every
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: vote he can get.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: Well, here's a question, though, John McGuire, current congressman. I mean,
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: there are a lot of things going on in the world.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: When you see the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps endorse all
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: the Democrats and some of the Republicans, anyone who's opposing
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: President Trump on anything, has been endorsed by the IRGC,
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: and these are the people that hang dissidents in the
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: town square. Are you bringing this up? Is this resonating?
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: Because I've seen some cartoons, some political cartoons about it,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: but I don't know if the people realize that shows
• 36:54
  Speaker 3: like this could be in big trouble if these are
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: the people who are endorsed by the people who hang
• 36:58
  Speaker 3: political dissidents.
• 37:01
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I focus more about what I've done and what
• 37:04
  Speaker 8: I'm going to do. You know, in just 18, 19 months,
• 37:08
  Speaker 8: working with President Trump and Governor Glenn Young, we've helped
• 37:11
  Speaker 8: negotiate $ 20 billion investment back into the district.
• 37:15
  Speaker 10: That's 7,000 good paying jobs.
• 37:17
  Speaker 8: And one particular company was going to take his factory
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: to South Carolina. And I said, hey, I know you're
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: going to South Carolina, but I sure would love to
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: meet with you in my congressional office.
• 37:26
  Speaker 10: And after about an hour.
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: And 20 minutes, and I'm sure I know that the
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: White House and I know Youngkin was certainly a big
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: part of it, he said, I changed my mind.
• 37:34
  Speaker 10: I'm coming to your district. And I knew about it
• 37:36
  Speaker 10: for eight months. And I couldn't tell anybody because that's
• 37:38
  Speaker 10: how it goes.
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: Yeah, you can't do it. Yeah, but we had a
• 37:42
  Speaker 8: ribbon cut in the last week. I actually went on
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: a radio show and I thought I could say something.
• 37:46
  Speaker 8: And as soon as I said it, my phone started
• 37:47
  Speaker 8: blowing up. So I was like, did I make a mistake?
• 37:50
  Speaker 10: Yeah. And then two, so I kept quiet two days later,
• 37:52
  Speaker 10: it became public. And then I said, yeah, that's what
• 37:54
  Speaker 10: I'm talking about.
• 37:55
  Speaker 19: Yeah.
• 37:55
  Speaker 10: We've been, we've been, we've been, we've been solving lots
• 37:58
  Speaker 10: of problems.
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah. And that's the thing.
• 38:04
  Speaker 27: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have
• 38:08
  Speaker 27: you been keeping up on the Big Beautiful Bill? If
• 38:13
  Speaker 27: you are over the age of 60, everything you thought
• 38:17
  Speaker 27: you knew about taxes and tax preparation has just done
• 38:21
  Speaker 27: a big shift. So if you want to get more
• 38:24
  Speaker 27: information on how the Big Beautiful Bill applies to you,
• 38:30
  Speaker 27: I welcome you to call and ask for the Tax
• 38:33
  Speaker 27: Reform Kit. It's got several things in it pertaining to
• 38:36
  Speaker 27: your taxes. A booklet titled Take Charge of Your Taxes,
• 38:40
  Speaker 27: Tax Strategies, several things.
• 38:43
  Speaker 10: In it, 866-764-2635.

  Speaker 14: Again, 866-764-2635.
• 39:05
  Speaker 12: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:08
  Speaker 12: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 39:12
  Speaker 3: Products on the market.
• 39:13
  Speaker 12: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 23: Mitch.
• 39:15
  Speaker 12: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:21
  Speaker 12: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:25
  Speaker 12: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 12: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 12: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:40
  Speaker 12: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 12: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances,
• 39:48
  Speaker 12: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 39:53
  Speaker 12: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,

  Speaker 28: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 40:06
  Speaker 28: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 40:11
  Speaker 28: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 40:14
  Speaker 28: will be arrested, if you don't make payments or provide
• 40:18
  Speaker 28: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 40:22
  Speaker 28: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 40:26
  Speaker 28: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 40:30
  Speaker 28: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 40:34
  Speaker 28: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 40:38
  Speaker 28: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 40:43
  Speaker 28: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 40:47
  Speaker 28: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 40:54
  Speaker 28: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Hi, everybody.
• 41:00
  Speaker 14: I'm Jack Hanna.
• 41:01
  Speaker 29: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 41:02
  Speaker 29: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 41:06
  Speaker 29: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 41:08
  Speaker 29: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 41:11
  Speaker 29: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes, who work hard
• 41:14
  Speaker 29: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
• 41:17
  Speaker 29: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
• 41:20
  Speaker 29: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
• 41:22
  Speaker 29: trees and the wild in search of fruit. This remarkable
• 41:25
  Speaker 29: work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 41:29
  Speaker 29: We know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but
• 41:31
  Speaker 29: because of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work
• 41:35
  Speaker 29: every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort
• 41:37
  Speaker 29: returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS. They work
• 41:40
  Speaker 29: with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their
• 41:43
  Speaker 29: blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of highly trained
• 41:46
  Speaker 29: roles that contribute to society and help those in need.
• 41:49
  Speaker 29: So please join me and American Humane in supporting our
• 41:51
  Speaker 29: heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals on this
• 41:54
  Speaker 29: planet we inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 42:00
  Speaker 14: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 14: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:05
  Speaker 9: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 11: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:11
  Speaker 11: Heart and brain.
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 42:14
  Speaker 29: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:16
  Speaker 11: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:19
  Speaker 11: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 21: Love that guy.
• 42:21
  Speaker 10: Me too.
• 42:22
  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 42:24
  Speaker 3: it's time to go home.
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:30
  Speaker 26: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:32
  Speaker 26: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:36
  Speaker 26: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 26: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:43
  Speaker 26: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:47
  Speaker 26: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 26: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 26: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 26: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 26: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:05
  Speaker 26: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:09
  Speaker 26: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:12
  Speaker 26: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 26: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving

  Speaker 20: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:33
  Speaker 20: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:36
  Speaker 20: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 20: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.

• 44:12
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media network.
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: The president yesterday in Youngstown, Ohio, and holding a great rally,
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Vivek Ramaswamy, John Gruden back on the campaign trail, apparently
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: played ball with John Husted. So the campaign's going on there.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: John McGuire running for reelection here in Virginia and to
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: get back into Congress where he served for the last
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: two years. John, any chance of, with these close races,
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: especially in Virginia Beach and in the East, Jen Kiggins
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: and Rob Whitman and Burt Missisawa, yourself, a Trump rally
• 44:59
  Speaker 3: in the Commonwealth of Virginia anytime? Do you have any,
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: give us a scoop or something for the front page headlines?
• 45:06
  Speaker 10: All I can say is yes. but I can't give
• 45:11
  Speaker 10: you any details.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: Okay. Well, I'll take, I'll take the yes.
• 45:15
  Speaker 10: I've had four, I've had four, um, four or at
• 45:21
  Speaker 10: least four interviews lately. They're like, you're still sticking with Trump.
• 45:24
  Speaker 10: A lot of Republicans are distancing themselves.
• 45:26
  Speaker 8: These radical leftist reporters are trying to just create a story.
• 45:30
  Speaker 10: But I said, heck yeah, I support Trump.
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: He secured our border, left 126 year murder low. You're
• 45:36
  Speaker 8: not happy with that? For the first time that I
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: can remember, fentanyl deaths are down. You're not happy with that?
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: People can walk around Washington, D.C. without being mugged or shot?
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Well, he's making progress. But, you know, this is what
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: the press does, is they go out, and I was
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: just reading a list of the most reviled and the
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: most popular countries by perception. It was like 900 people
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: out of a trillion people on the planet. And Israel
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: and the United States and Iran are three of the
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: top five most hated countries.
• 46:08
  Speaker 10: In the world.
• 46:09
  Speaker 3: And a lot of that, when I see Israel there,
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: I'm like, well, that's the press. The press... you know,
• 46:15
  Speaker 3: says something. And then if you say it enough times,
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: it becomes true. And I think this is what's made
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: a lot of Republicans, they're like, oh, it's the Tucker
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: Carlson syndrome, John. He's had no new wars. And my
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: argument has always been this Iranian conflict with the radical
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: Islamist is the oldest war in American history. Trump's just
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: decided it's time to stop it. This isn't a new one.
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: It's the oldest one. This goes back to Jefferson and
• 46:46
  Speaker 3: the Barbary pirates that we've been battling radical Islam there.
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: What about battling it here? And you see it in Texas.
• 46:58
  Speaker 3: People in Virginia went through it three or four years
• 47:01
  Speaker 3: ago with trying to balance the rights of somebody who
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: just wants to go to a mosque and then open
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: their shop and do business with which is the majority
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: of the folks I know, versus the radical Islamists who
• 47:13
  Speaker 3: want to kill and maim. We just had the ISIS
• 47:18
  Speaker 3: story saying that if you execute this guy at Fort Hood,
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: anyone we capture is going to be executed. These aren't
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: the people who just want to go to work and
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: open their shops, John.
• 47:31
  Speaker 10: No, it's an ideology of death.
• 47:33
  Speaker 8: In Iran, for example, we all know they kill 50,000, 60,000
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: of their people in the street because they had a
• 47:38
  Speaker 8: different opinion. They had a gold medalist wrestler. The world
• 47:42
  Speaker 8: fell in love with the guy. He won gold medal
• 47:44
  Speaker 8: as a wrestler, came back to his country in Iran.
• 47:46
  Speaker 8: They had a public hanging. It's an ideology of death.
• 47:50
  Speaker 8: You can't negotiate with them. And I think you look at,
• 47:54
  Speaker 8: everybody says Paris and London. They say Paris has fallen.
• 47:58
  Speaker 8: but they've just used mass migration. They've infiltrated without firing
• 48:02
  Speaker 8: a shot. And they've taken over like 30 elected positions
• 48:07
  Speaker 8: in London alone.
• 48:08
  Speaker 10: They're pushing the Sharia law.
• 48:11
  Speaker 8: And it's just, I mean, we just go into the
• 48:12
  Speaker 8: crazy details of what that allows them.
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: To do to women. Yeah, and it's contrary to everything
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: that's constitutional. I don't have a problem with what church
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: you go to, but you can't do anything to me
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: because I don't go there. And I think that's where
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: we have to roll the American Bill of Rights out
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: and say, OK, you can do as you see fit.
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: You can't do something to someone else because they don't
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: go along with your dogma. John McGuire on with us.
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: What's the campaign site again?
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: Yeah, mcguireva.com. Please tell your friends to vote. M-C-G-U-I-R-E-V-A.com. Vote
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: no on the three amendments.
• 48:53
  Speaker 3: That's a big one, too.
• 48:54
  Speaker 10: Call, text your friends every day.
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: Get Burt Mazzuoli and all the Republicans across the line
• 48:59
  Speaker 8: so not me, but we can save our country.
• 49:03
  Speaker 3: John McGuire is on with us, Congressman, Virginia's 5th District.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: Talk about, you know, obviously the brick wall has been
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: the Republican majority in the Senate. We watched Susan Collins
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: and Tom Tillis and Lisa Murkowski all come together. out against,
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: you know, Trump trying to get some diesel fuel into
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: the United States to ease the pressure at the pump.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: I guess Republicans, you know, like them and Dick Blumenthal
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: and stuff are against affordability after all. But Mark Warner...
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: has been as unhinged, and I know that monthly the
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: Virginia delegation has breakfast. He's not that unhinged, but you
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: watched his videos. Is he falling apart? He looks like
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: he is truly the avatar for Trump derangement syndrome. And
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: I know that your race is tight and you're trying
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: to win your race, but talk about Burt Missisawa and
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: the chances that Virginians have started to feel like Mark
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: Warner's lost his last good marble sometimes.
• 50:07
  Speaker 10: Well, Burr is a great candidate.
• 50:09
  Speaker 8: He served our country honorably, and he's a highly decorated veteran.
• 50:14
  Speaker 10: And I think he's a great guy. He's very reasonable.
• 50:16
  Speaker 10: He's the kind of guy I'd like to see in
• 50:18
  Speaker 10: the U.S. Senate. It's a tough race because, you know, it's.
• 50:20
  Speaker 8: Always a funding issue. Those Democrats always seem to have
• 50:23
  Speaker 8: the money. But thankfully, we shut down USAID, so a
• 50:26
  Speaker 8: lot of their money supply has been cut off. using
• 50:29
  Speaker 8: our taxpayer dollars to fund Democrats against Republicans is a
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: crazy thing to say in the world. Yeah, he's another
• 50:36
  Speaker 8: one of those politicians that says one thing and does another.
• 50:38
  Speaker 8: And I hope we're getting some tired of it. We've
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: got a chance to beat him, but the only way
• 50:42
  Speaker 8: to do it is to get people to show up.
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: You know, during the governor's race last year, I don't
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: know the number. I heard 500,000 Republicans did.
• 50:51
  Speaker 10: Not show up. Apathy is going to kill us.
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: I love everybody, but you got to show up. You
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: got to show up because these people will say anything,
• 50:59
  Speaker 8: do anything, make you think they're great.
• 51:02
  Speaker 10: And then they double your taxes. Let me talk about
• 51:04
  Speaker 10: that energy for a second.
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: You remember Tom Perriello, before he made a vote on
• 51:10
  Speaker 8: cap and trade, a Democrat reporter on CNN, I think
• 51:14
  Speaker 8: it was CNN, it might have been MSNBC, said that
• 51:17
  Speaker 8: if you vote for this cap and trade, it's going
• 51:19
  Speaker 8: to double people's energy costs in Virginia and cost Virginia 15,000 jobs.
• 51:24
  Speaker 8: And he said, well, yes, and people are going to
• 51:26
  Speaker 8: lose some jobs. So he touted it, and then he
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: voted for it because it's all about this windmill, electric car,
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: cap-and-trade stuff. It basically punishes you for using fossil fuels.
• 51:36
  Speaker 8: So now we've got Spanberger. Governor Glenn Young got us
• 51:39
  Speaker 8: out of the regional greenhouse initiative, you know, the Green
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: News scam type stuff.
• 51:44
  Speaker 10: Yunkin got out of it.
• 51:45
  Speaker 8: And as I campaigned all over the district, I said,
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: raise your hand if your energy costs, your heat and
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: air conditioning went down, electric bills.
• 51:52
  Speaker 10: Everybody said, yes, my electric bill went down.
• 51:55
  Speaker 8: And then Spanberger missed affordability, gets elected.
• 51:59
  Speaker 10: And the first thing she does is put us back
• 52:01
  Speaker 10: in Reggie.
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: And everywhere I go, I don't care if it's a crowd, Democrats, Republicans,
• 52:04
  Speaker 8: wherever I go, I go, raise your hand if your
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: electric costs have gone up. Everybody says their electric bills
• 52:10
  Speaker 8: have doubled since Spanberger got in there.
• 52:12
  Speaker 10: And they're trying to tell you that if you vote Democrat,
• 52:15
  Speaker 10: they're going to be good on energy. They are terrible
• 52:17
  Speaker 10: on energy.
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: And a lot of it is, you know, the power
• 52:22
  Speaker 3: plants that we've shut down, our refineries that we've shut down,
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: John McGuire, mcguireva.com. I appreciate it, sir. You know, this midterms,
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: all the Cook report, the Sabato reports, all these reports say, oh,
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: it's going to be a bloodbath. I remember when they
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: were predicting the red tsunami, and they were wrong about that, too.
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: So we'll keep an eye peeled, but some of these
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: things are not what they appear in the press.
• 52:52
