0:11
Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Jellis, Thank.
0:33
Speaker 1: You for joining us on this Tedesday morning, the day
0:36
Speaker 1: we celebrate God's gifts to you, not that you don't
0:39
Speaker 1: have them every other day. Like I said, every day
0:42
Speaker 1: is New Year's Day. If you sat there and said, oh,
0:47
Speaker 1: it's been a rough go, you know what. Today's a
0:49
Speaker 1: new day. Sun rose in the same place, a degree
0:53
Speaker 1: or two different in the sky than it did yesterday,
0:57
Speaker 1: and today is unfettered by your fingerprints. Do what you
1:02
Speaker 1: want with it. And sure there may be moments where
1:04
Speaker 1: Yesterday comes knocking you say that's today, you're yesterday, I'm
1:09
Speaker 1: today today, And that just came out, say it was.
1:14
Speaker 1: That was much better in rehearsal than it was. Four three,
1:18
Speaker 1: four eight eight two four two one seven. Remember those digits,
1:22
Speaker 1: because first we tell you what went on yesterday, and
1:24
Speaker 1: then we'll tell you what we see in the evidence
1:27
Speaker 1: collected at the crime scene, and then we want to
1:31
Speaker 1: see how it's impacting you. The singular most important part
1:35
Speaker 1: of the local station is the local listener. You are,
1:39
Speaker 1: and Wow, we've got local talking, we've got a local news,
1:42
Speaker 1: and we came up with this. It was an abstract yesterday.
1:45
Speaker 1: And our buddy John Reid is coming up, who's beginning
1:50
Speaker 1: a new chapter after his attempt to run for elected office.
1:56
Speaker 1: But a guy who's worked in media relations for esteemed
2:01
Speaker 1: folks like Ronald Wilson Reagan. Not Ronald Wilson Reagan's estate
2:06
Speaker 1: or his library, but for Ronald Reagan himself. And there's
2:10
Speaker 1: a guy who understood messaging pretty well. And we're going
2:14
Speaker 1: to get into messaging with John a little bit coming up,
2:18
Speaker 1: because there's a fine line between policy and messaging that
2:24
Speaker 1: I think a lot of especially unfortunately a lot of
2:27
Speaker 1: folks in the conservative movement don't grasp. But I want
2:30
Speaker 1: to spend a couple of moments on bureaucracy again. Oh Joe,
2:35
Speaker 1: my god, let it go. We heard you with the
2:38
Speaker 1: iron law of bureaucracy and a thing. Let me tell
2:42
Speaker 1: you a tale, a grim fairy tale of why bureaucracies
2:47
Speaker 1: are dangerous. So the Biden administration, in all of their
2:52
Speaker 1: efforts to be seen as Santa Claus, established a program
2:58
Speaker 1: within the Small Business Administry for socially disadvantaged businesses. And
3:05
Speaker 1: I remember when they started this, and I remember thinking, well,
3:08
Speaker 1: that's a word that, oh man, you want to talk
3:12
Speaker 1: about politically charged trays. And guess what. Guess what's happened
3:19
Speaker 1: with the politically or the socially disadvantaged minority contracting program.
3:26
Speaker 1: Massive corruption and not conducted by white people. You'd think, well,
3:34
Speaker 1: hold on a second here, you know these these Caucasians
3:38
Speaker 1: must be corrupting the system. No, no, no, no, whether it's
3:40
Speaker 1: it's actually black people or socially disadvantaged people who have decided, hey,
3:49
Speaker 1: we could get in on this. And so what they
3:51
Speaker 1: do is they set up these companies, these pass throughs,
3:55
Speaker 1: and they and then they skim while the money is
4:01
Speaker 1: going to legitimate businesses, but they have to pay a
4:05
Speaker 1: finder's fee. It's just a classic tale of what happens
4:10
Speaker 1: when you set up a bureaucracy and you set it up.
4:14
Speaker 1: This one specifically set up, without question, to be a
4:18
Speaker 1: political setup, no question whatsoever. This was designed to score
4:24
Speaker 1: political points, and there it is not doing any of
4:27
Speaker 1: that at all. But we'll get further into this SBA corruption.
4:33
Speaker 1: Like guys said, our friend John Reid coming up in
4:35
Speaker 1: just a little bit as well. But here are those
4:37
Speaker 1: first things we're talking about this morning, so you can
4:40
Speaker 1: discuss anywhere. European Council President Antonio Costa in Ireland speaking
4:47
Speaker 1: to the European Union leaders, saying the United States and
4:51
Speaker 1: Europe must act as allies. It said, we respect the
4:55
Speaker 1: choice of the Americans, and they need to respect the
4:58
Speaker 1: democratic choices of our citizens, pushing back on President Trump's
5:02
Speaker 1: statements regarding corruption and the downfall of European countries. The
5:08
Speaker 1: US deployed two fighter jets to buzz the Venezuelan coast yesterday.
5:13
Speaker 1: US defense official said it was just a routine training
5:16
Speaker 1: flight to the Associated Press. Meanwhile, the Senate is moving
5:20
Speaker 1: forward on a test vote next week on a war
5:23
Speaker 1: powers resolution floated by Senators Tim Kaine. So proud we
5:27
Speaker 1: are here in our flagship state of Virginia along with
5:31
Speaker 1: Adam Schiff. I know you love Adam out there in California,
5:34
Speaker 1: Chuck Schumer and Rand Paul. This would bar US military
5:39
Speaker 1: strikes against Venezuela and drug cartel manufacturing facilities unless Congress
5:44
Speaker 1: specifically authorizes them. The President on his way to beautiful
5:49
Speaker 1: Mount Airy Lodge. I know nobody knows that jingle except
5:54
Speaker 1: anyone my age that grew up in the Northeast. On
5:57
Speaker 1: his way to the last vestiges of the Catskills and
6:01
Speaker 1: Pocono's get Away retreats now a casino, was asked by
6:05
Speaker 1: the press Gagle on Air Force one if he would
6:07
Speaker 1: consider to get rid of the federal income tax on
6:12
Speaker 1: gambling earnings, and the President said, no tax on gambling winnings.
6:18
Speaker 1: I don't know. I'm going to have to think about that.
6:20
Speaker 1: Interestingly enough, the headline that goes along with the story
6:24
Speaker 1: in the press says President Trump considers no tax on
6:29
Speaker 1: gambling winnings. But at the rally under a banner that
6:34
Speaker 1: says lower prices and bigger paychecks. He pointed out in
6:38
Speaker 1: his speech that the higher prices came in during the
6:41
Speaker 1: Biden administration. They gave you high prices, the President said,
6:45
Speaker 1: they gave you the highest inflation in history. And a
6:49
Speaker 1: three judge panel has cleared the administration to resume discharging
6:54
Speaker 1: transgender service members.

Speaker 7: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
Speaker 7: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:32
Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:37
Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent

Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

Speaker 4: Hi everybody, I'm Jackman.
10:00
Speaker 9: It's always a boy growing up on a farm in Tennessee,
10:03
Speaker 9: I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only in alle
10:05
Speaker 9: of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
10:08
Speaker 9: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
10:11
Speaker 9: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
Speaker 9: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
Speaker 9: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
Speaker 9: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:22
Speaker 9: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
Speaker 9: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:29
Speaker 9: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
Speaker 9: they also perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 2: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 9: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
10:39
Speaker 9: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
10:42
Speaker 9: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
10:44

Speaker 12: art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 4: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 13: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my

13:08
Speaker 3: The first thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tonk
13:15
Speaker 3: Media Network.
13:15
Speaker 17: They're prioritizing tax cuts for huge corporations over cutting the
13:19
Speaker 17: cost of healthcare and houses. I'm Tom Perryellow, and I'm
13:29
Speaker 17: running for Congress because this is an all hands on
13:31
Speaker 17: deck moment.
13:32
Speaker 1: Oh yes. And in the world of political comebacks, if
13:36
Speaker 1: Tom Perry Yellow can come back, I guarant damn to
13:39
Speaker 1: you John Reid can. John Reid, our friend who last
13:43
Speaker 1: we spoke, was heading into the polling places on election
13:46
Speaker 1: day in his quest to become lieutenant governor of the
13:49
Speaker 1: Commonwealth of Virginia.
13:51
Speaker 18: Uh.
13:51
Speaker 1: And I know that most people are just seeing the
13:54
Speaker 1: headlines that it was a sweep by the other party.
13:57
Speaker 1: But what you don't see is with about a buck
14:00
Speaker 1: in his campaign conference, John Reid outperformed all the other
14:04
Speaker 1: people on the ticket, proving that if you work your
14:08
Speaker 1: butt off, you know good things and people, you will
14:12
Speaker 1: move the rock there a little bit. And he's back
14:14
Speaker 1: on the newsmakers with us because now it's time for
14:17
Speaker 1: Act two or four or sixteen. I'm not sure how
14:20
Speaker 1: many actses had before his run for lieutenant governor, but John,
14:25
Speaker 1: welcome back. How are you doing, my friend.
14:28
Speaker 18: I'm hanging in there.
14:28
Speaker 12: I'll tell you get ready for this podcast which will
14:31
Speaker 12: start in January, and hoping that that will be successful.
14:34
Speaker 18: You know, during the.
14:35
Speaker 12: Campaign, I went and did every media appearance that I
14:39
Speaker 12: could possibly do, including some of these national podcasters, and
14:43
Speaker 12: I walked into one guy's studio, which was nicer than
14:49
Speaker 12: anything I was ever in when I was in broadcast media,
14:54
Speaker 12: you know, with these big multinational companies. And I then
14:58
Speaker 12: looked up on the internet the guy pulled in twenty
15:01
Speaker 12: million dollars last year, and I thought, I'm doing something wrong.
15:06
Speaker 12: You know, I would love to be preparing for an
15:09
Speaker 12: inauguration as a lieutenant governor. But if I can figure
15:12
Speaker 12: out how to make the podcast thing work, and I
15:14
Speaker 12: don't need twenty million dollars, if I can come up
15:17
Speaker 12: with a fraction of that, I might be playcated a
15:20
Speaker 12: little bit.
15:20
Speaker 1: Well, you know, it is an interesting world because there
15:23
Speaker 1: are several wildly successful podcasts, and I want to talk
15:27
Speaker 1: about messaging with you because you've been in that world,
15:31
Speaker 1: not just in your radio broadcasting career but before that
15:35
Speaker 1: with Ronald Reagan and George Allen as well. But the
15:39
Speaker 1: podcast world so fascinates me because there are two or
15:43
Speaker 1: three just wildly successful, lucrative opportunities. And then my inbox
15:51
Speaker 1: gets filled with press people or friends of friends who
15:55
Speaker 1: are like, hey, could you talk to this guy? He
15:57
Speaker 1: really needs to help promote his podcast. And yet I'll
16:01
Speaker 1: still be told that radio is yesterday's way of mass communications.
16:06
Speaker 1: I'm like, I don't get it, because if everyone was
16:09
Speaker 1: tuning the podcast, then I should be calling them for
16:12
Speaker 1: interviews to help promote my little insignificant radio show. And
16:17
Speaker 1: it just doesn't seem to be that way. But God
16:19
Speaker 1: bless you and knock on wood. What's it going to
16:20
Speaker 1: be called?
16:21
Speaker 18: John?
16:22
Speaker 12: Yeah, I've chosen the name the Read Revolution, and that's
16:27
Speaker 12: very deliberate. You know, most revolutions when they occur, bring
16:31
Speaker 12: about death, destruction, and misery for an extended period of time.
16:36
Speaker 12: I've lived in some places that we're in the middle
16:38
Speaker 12: of revolutions, and I've watched people really really suffer and
16:43
Speaker 12: live through an era of great drama. I don't want
16:48
Speaker 12: to see us find ourselves with that in the United States.
16:52
Speaker 12: So this is actually a philosophical revolution that takes us
16:57
Speaker 12: back to solid principles and ideas hopefully will present a
17:01
Speaker 12: society that's stable and prosperous for everybody instead of one
17:06
Speaker 12: that we're at each other's throats and possibly killing each other,
17:11
Speaker 12: which is what I'm really worried we're headed towards.
17:14
Speaker 18: Well.
17:14
Speaker 1: You certainly listen to it in some of the rhetoric
17:16
Speaker 1: of the people even you were running against. You know,
17:20
Speaker 1: this was this was a battle. Your lives depend on it,
17:24
Speaker 1: and and really, you know, unhinged. You listen to some
17:28
Speaker 1: of these folks, and when I was a kid, these
17:30
Speaker 1: would be the folks who would get a nice, padded
17:32
Speaker 1: room somewhere to work out their problems in. And and
17:37
Speaker 1: it's it's dangerous. You're right, I agree with you. It's
17:40
Speaker 1: it is dangerous.
17:42
Speaker 18: There.
17:42
Speaker 1: I want to since the elections, and and I'm sure
17:46
Speaker 1: my friends in New Jersey are going through the same thing.
17:48
Speaker 1: And I've been asked by several folks to help with
17:52
Speaker 1: groups that are trying to come up with solutions to
17:56
Speaker 1: the problem. And I'm not going to say I know
17:59
Speaker 1: for sure, but I think I get one of the places.
18:02
Speaker 1: And I was actually moderating a panel with a state
18:06
Speaker 1: senator and a delegate yesterday and the concept of messaging
18:14
Speaker 1: came up. They brought it up. I had been asked
18:16
Speaker 1: about it several other times prior to that. That the
18:20
Speaker 1: left and this affordability message, which is a con job.
18:25
Speaker 1: The President's right, because what they're talking about is either
18:29
Speaker 1: supply side or purchase side subsidy. It's not going to
18:33
Speaker 1: actually make things affordable. It's just going to make you
18:36
Speaker 1: not notice how inaffordable it is if you qualify. Was
18:41
Speaker 1: a better message than some of the conceptual deep things,
18:45
Speaker 1: defensive life, you know, small business reform, you know, lower taxes,
18:51
Speaker 1: kind of things that the right was running on. Did
18:54
Speaker 1: you sense that as your campaign was going on, because
18:57
Speaker 1: you were really the king of the grassroots, you were
18:59
Speaker 1: at the opening of every envelope.
19:02
Speaker 12: I've never lived in a time where people weren't worried
19:06
Speaker 12: about prices. I'm fifty five years old in January. I
19:10
Speaker 12: don't everyone has always been worried about.
19:15
Speaker 18: Costs.
19:16
Speaker 12: I do think that the Democrats seized on that. They
19:20
Speaker 12: It's ironic that it would be coming out of four
19:23
Speaker 12: years of Joe Biden and Democrats driving prices up, the
19:28
Speaker 12: bad policies they implemented on energy, which are about to
19:32
Speaker 12: cause us to have skyrocketing energy prices. If you're unhappy
19:36
Speaker 12: about your energy bill, now you're electric bill now, just
19:40
Speaker 12: get ready for what it's going to look like when
19:43
Speaker 12: Abigail and the Democrats forced us to rejoin all of
19:48
Speaker 12: these crazy arrangements which will make Virginia less independent. I
19:54
Speaker 12: do think that they seized on something that they knew
19:56
Speaker 12: they could touch on a raw nerve for everybody to
20:01
Speaker 12: constantly exists, and you know, we we do not have
20:04
Speaker 12: a media that is going to play objective analyst on
20:10
Speaker 12: these issues. They're going to find and amplify every price
20:14
Speaker 12: that has increased. Inflation was real under Joe Biden, it
20:17
Speaker 12: certainly tamped down under Donald Trump. So I think, you know,
20:23
Speaker 12: they seized on something that people would engage with and
20:28
Speaker 12: that the media voluntarily amplifies their message and.
20:36
Speaker 18: Are top of the ticket.
20:39
Speaker 12: You know, Whens was very thoughtful about the trans issue
20:45
Speaker 12: and parents' rights and parents matters, which worked for Glenn
20:49
Speaker 12: Youngkin largely, and then the media shut that down and
20:56
Speaker 12: that was mocked and ridiculed. And it probably needed to
20:59
Speaker 12: be a combination of economic issues because as the Democrats
21:04
Speaker 12: taught us, it's the economy stupid, and whenever you take
21:07
Speaker 12: your eye off that, you do find yourself in a
21:09
Speaker 12: difficult situation. So I think the messaging was important. I
21:16
Speaker 12: do think that the anti trans message is a legitimate one,
21:21
Speaker 12: and a lot of people blow it off until somebody
21:24
Speaker 12: shows up in their school or their kid's classroom, or
21:29
Speaker 12: it impacts them and their family.
21:32
Speaker 18: Then and they find out.
21:33
Speaker 12: That the kid is going to be taken to the
21:35
Speaker 12: children's hospital and have their breasts removed or their testicles
21:40
Speaker 12: cut off, and suddenly it becomes a real issue. And
21:43
Speaker 12: there were a lot of people who were critical of
21:45
Speaker 12: me for using that language, which I just used. But
21:49
Speaker 12: that is reality and we need to start facing reality.
21:52
Speaker 1: Well, like you said, I tell you. John Reid is
21:55
Speaker 1: on with us. The Read Revolution is this new podcast
21:58
Speaker 1: getting ready to launch.

Speaker 19: Let's see if something costs less but people are happier
22:05
Speaker 19: with it. That sounds like something to look into. And
22:07
Speaker 19: that is meta Share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta
22:10
Speaker 19: share to pay for healthcare can save many families up
22:13
Speaker 19: to five hundred bucks a month, and that is huge.
22:15
Speaker 19: But it's also true that people are way more satisfied
22:18
Speaker 19: after making the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for
22:21
Speaker 19: meta share is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
22:25
Speaker 3: Double.
22:25
Speaker 19: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
22:28
Speaker 19: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
22:31

24:07
Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
24:12
Speaker 7: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22

Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36

24:42

24:45

Speaker 3: QUI for you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
28:19
Speaker 1: So we're visiting John Reid. He is a former radio
28:23
Speaker 1: show host and former aide de camp to Ronald Reagan
28:27
Speaker 1: and George Allen. And I said this in pre selling
28:31
Speaker 1: your visit. If Tom Perry Ello can have a political comeback,
28:35
Speaker 1: John Reid certainly could. What is the thought of that,
28:39
Speaker 1: Would you ever do it again? Or was it just
28:41
Speaker 1: something you can put in the memoir. I tried this
28:44
Speaker 1: and it didn't work out because there's a lot of
28:48
Speaker 1: folks who saw how you conducted your campaign without money,
28:53
Speaker 1: without support, with headwinds from within your own political ideology,
28:59
Speaker 1: and yeah, you still outperformed. You know, anyone's expectation and
29:03
Speaker 1: even some of the other people on the ticket.
29:06
Speaker 18: Is is there.
29:09
Speaker 1: Is there a political comeback? Like I said, if Tom
29:12
Speaker 1: Perriello can come back, so can John Read I think,
29:15
Speaker 1: But what are you thinking?
29:17
Speaker 18: Well, we'll see.
29:18
Speaker 12: I I enjoyed the actual campaigning and meeting people and
29:22
Speaker 12: listening to people and hearing about the issues that concerned
29:27
Speaker 12: them on a personal level and as an individual. It's
29:30
Speaker 12: one of the things that's always drawn me to politics
29:33
Speaker 12: and government is how can we figure out how to
29:37
Speaker 12: solve problems? Maybe the best plan is to get out
29:39
Speaker 12: of the way and let people solve their own problems.
29:42
Speaker 12: Exact conclusion, but I would consider doing it again if
29:47
Speaker 12: it was the right situation. It was exhausting, it was miserable.
29:52
Speaker 12: The backstabbing was unbelievable, much worse than I ever expected.
29:56
Speaker 12: I am, you know, thankful for all the wonder for
30:00
Speaker 12: Republicans who did come out and vote for me. I
30:05
Speaker 12: hope even the people who didn't like me for whatever
30:09
Speaker 12: reason they didn't know me, or they you know. I
30:12
Speaker 12: tried to be very candid that I'm a gay man,
30:14
Speaker 12: and but I'm a conservative, and I don't know that
30:16
Speaker 12: any Let me tell you something. There's nobody in the
30:19
Speaker 12: Commonwealth of Virginia who can beat me when it comes
30:22
Speaker 12: to conservative bona fides. So if you decided to stay home, seriously,
30:29
Speaker 12: I've had I had a lady the other day who
30:31
Speaker 12: came up and told me that I shouldn't run.
30:33
Speaker 18: And I, you know, I'm a polite man.
30:34
Speaker 12: I try to always be polite to people, even when
30:37
Speaker 12: they're rude to me.
30:39
Speaker 18: And I and I said, well, tell me why.
30:40
Speaker 12: And she said, because we don't need a homosexual in
30:43
Speaker 12: any elected office. And I said, well, ma'am, you have
30:47
Speaker 12: a wonderful opportunity now. You you helped make sure that
30:50
Speaker 12: there wouldn't be a gay guy who supported Ronald Reagan
30:53
Speaker 12: and George Allen and George Bush and Donald Trump. You
30:57
Speaker 12: made sure that person wouldn't be in office. Now you'll
31:00
Speaker 12: be ruled by radical Islamic pro hamas anti American woman
31:07
Speaker 12: like Azalahasmi. I hope you enjoy that you made that choice. Now, boy,
31:11
Speaker 12: she was furious, but I'm telling her the truth to
31:13
Speaker 12: her face.
31:15
Speaker 1: That's probably made her furious. So let me ask you
31:17
Speaker 1: about that. Because, as I paraphrased President Kennedy in a
31:23
Speaker 1: column I wrote for The Daily Signal, you know, victory
31:26
Speaker 1: has many fathers, and defeat is an orphan, but defeat
31:31
Speaker 1: has an awful lot of cousins who will tell you
31:33
Speaker 1: what went wrong. It appears and and so there's everybody's
31:37
Speaker 1: got a there's an expression about everybody has an opinion
31:42
Speaker 1: just like some other part of their body. But there's
31:47
Speaker 1: been there has been the argument that this is dysfunction
31:51
Speaker 1: within the Republican Party, that the consultants run the committee
31:56
Speaker 1: that runs the party. Scott Pio from Loudon County has
32:01
Speaker 1: brought that up. I've had some prickly conversations between both
32:06
Speaker 1: him and Mark Peak. Mark Peak has stepped down his chair,
32:09
Speaker 1: which is what Pio wanted. But there's debate as to
32:12
Speaker 1: what comes next. And I think nationally this is also
32:16
Speaker 1: a discussion what happens when California redistricts or Illinois redistricts,
32:21
Speaker 1: what happens in Texas when they redistrict I made the
32:25
Speaker 1: mistake of being pollyannish about Virginia's redistricting. I said, you know,
32:29
Speaker 1: they're taking reliably twenty percent Democrat positive districts and stretching
32:35
Speaker 1: them so far out that there are only two or
32:37
Speaker 1: maybe three percent majorities. We could win those, And people
32:42
Speaker 1: are like, oh, that will never happen. We're never going
32:44
Speaker 1: to see another Republican again. And they love the defeatism
32:48
Speaker 1: of it. But to me, what needs to change? Does
32:52
Speaker 1: Scott Pio have a point about the State Central Committee
32:56
Speaker 1: and its power in your view, you after going through
33:01
Speaker 1: this crucible needs to change?
33:04
Speaker 18: Well, I think there are some structural issues here. You know.
33:07
Speaker 12: The example that I've used that I think people will
33:10
Speaker 12: get is that the modern Democrats in Virginia, with all
33:13
Speaker 12: the money that they have in the state and all
33:16
Speaker 12: the money that they have been successful at bringing into
33:20
Speaker 12: Virginia from interested parties out of state, they've created an
33:24
Speaker 12: Amazon Prime voter situation. And I don't want to be
33:28
Speaker 12: too ugly about it, but it does appear to me
33:30
Speaker 12: that we're still with the Wells Fargo wagon. You know,
33:34
Speaker 12: we're not firing on all cylinders. We don't have a
33:37
Speaker 12: full time staff that is aggressive and experienced that in
33:42
Speaker 12: both messaging and get out the vote. And I would
33:44
Speaker 12: ask everybody you know, if you send a one hundred
33:47
Speaker 12: dollars check every month to a political organization, whether it's
33:51
Speaker 12: pro gun or whether it's pro family or ask them
33:54
Speaker 12: what they actually did in the last six months to
33:58
Speaker 12: secure votes for Republicans even and here's the other thing.
34:03
Speaker 12: We all have to be politically mature. I have voted
34:07
Speaker 12: for a lot of people over the years that I
34:09
Speaker 12: didn't love, you know, who weren't perfect candidates that matched
34:14
Speaker 12: up my personality or were different from me on one
34:17
Speaker 12: or two issues. And Conservatives in Virginia and elsewhere really
34:23
Speaker 12: do need to recognize what Ronald Reagan said in the eighties.
34:27
Speaker 12: If somebody is your seventy percent friends, they are not
34:31
Speaker 12: your your enemy. You have got to figure out a
34:34
Speaker 12: way to recognize that Jesus is not on the ballot.
34:39
Speaker 12: The perfect person, the perfect candidate, is not on the ballot.
34:43
Speaker 12: Do you want to save Virginia from the leftist movement?
34:49
Speaker 12: It may be too late now I'm not. I mean,
34:52
Speaker 12: I hope not, but it may be too late. If
34:55
Speaker 12: you get you got the you've got, you're gonna have
34:58
Speaker 12: Abigail Spamberger, a Democrat House of Delegates and a Democrat Senate,
35:03
Speaker 12: no Republican lieutenant governor slow things down or stop the
35:08
Speaker 12: worst ideas with a tie breaker. We're gonna get rolled
35:12
Speaker 12: here in the next ninety days and it's gonna be bad,
35:16
Speaker 12: and hopefully that will sober everybody up to say, this
35:20
Speaker 12: is a battle of ideas, and I better get with
35:22
Speaker 12: people who are even remotely connected to the things I
35:26
Speaker 12: believe if I want to save Virginia, and I'm hoping
35:31
Speaker 12: that people will will engage there and that we will
35:34
Speaker 12: find the money to put together the infrastructure across the
35:38
Speaker 12: commonwealth to make sure that we get to get out
35:40
Speaker 12: the vote. Plans going that we could do the digital advertising,
35:44
Speaker 12: the text messaging, the things that you have to do
35:48
Speaker 12: if you want to beat these Democrats who have really
35:51
Speaker 12: turned it into.
35:52
Speaker 18: A science Oh yeah, we no longer volunteer era.
35:55
Speaker 1: But one of the things and I look at this
35:58
Speaker 1: and I see opportunities rather than challenges. And one of
36:01
Speaker 1: them men, we were talking about this in this Seminaros
36:04
Speaker 1: moderating yesterday, is you know Virginia Senate is still very close,
36:10
Speaker 1: you know, twenty one to nineteen. Where are the old
36:13
Speaker 1: chap Peterson's And I was told by a member of
36:16
Speaker 1: the Senate now they don't exist anymore. Everyone has to
36:20
Speaker 1: march in line with the party. Where then, then, should
36:24
Speaker 1: we not be reaching out to a pro business, pro
36:28
Speaker 1: free market, pro free speech democrat and saying, let's look
36:32
Speaker 1: at let's look for those seventy percent issues where we
36:36
Speaker 1: all agree on things like a Chap Peterson, who who
36:40
Speaker 1: could probably still win his district in northern Virginia.
36:46
Speaker 12: You could try, but I will tell you from what
36:49
Speaker 12: I have heard, the you know, the the ex con
36:53
Speaker 12: drug dealer who runs the House of Delegates now Don Scott,
36:57
Speaker 12: and everybody should always remember that you were not dealing
37:01
Speaker 12: with someone that we just disagree with. We're dealing with
37:03
Speaker 12: an ex drug dealer who is now the Speaker of
37:07
Speaker 12: the House of Delegates of Virginia. The Democrats have deliberately
37:10
Speaker 12: chosen thugs to run the state of Virginia, and they're
37:14
Speaker 12: going to run it like street thugs, like the mob,
37:18
Speaker 12: and that's what they're doing.
37:19
Speaker 1: Well, I'm not talking about you know, and you misunderstand,
37:22
Speaker 1: and I think you know, I apologies for misunder you know,
37:25
Speaker 1: you misunderstood what I was saying, John Is. I wasn't
37:27
Speaker 1: talking about, you know, winning over members of the Democrat Party,
37:31
Speaker 1: but people who are out there who would nominally say, oh,
37:35
Speaker 1: I vote Democrat because they remember the days of you know,
37:39
Speaker 1: Tim Kaine the governor, not Tim Kane the idiot senator.
37:43
Speaker 12: And that's what I tried to do. And that's that's
37:48
Speaker 12: what I tried to do. I mean, I was very
37:50
Speaker 12: measured in my rhetoric and language. You know, I tried
37:54
Speaker 12: to be over you remember I went and spoke and
37:57
Speaker 12: shook hands with Abigail Spamberg or on three different Oh yeah.
38:01
Speaker 10: In twenty twenty four, the American Heart Association celebrates one
38:05
Speaker 10: hundred years of life saving service as the world's leading
38:07
Speaker 10: nonprofit organization focused on heart and brain health. Heart disease
38:12
Speaker 10: still kills more people in the United States each year
38:14
Speaker 10: than all types of cancer combined, but more than half
38:17
Speaker 10: of Americans are unaware of this fact, according to a
38:20
Speaker 10: recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,
38:25
Speaker 10: the majority of heart disease is preventable. New research has
38:28
Speaker 10: improved the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of heart disease and
38:32
Speaker 10: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association
38:35

41:28

Speaker 3: know the first thing today.
44:17
Speaker 1: This tend sday. Wrapping up visiting with John Reid this morning,
44:22
Speaker 1: I'm coming John you know, and I appreciate what you're
44:26
Speaker 1: doing because I think this is a national argument as
44:29
Speaker 1: well as what are we going to stand for and
44:32
Speaker 1: how we're going to conduct our elections? John so tell.
44:36
Speaker 12: Us, I tried to show the old fashion. I'll stand
44:39
Speaker 12: in front of the voting place and shake hands with people.
44:43
Speaker 12: The other candidates who are running state wide didn't do that.
44:45
Speaker 12: They didn't stand for hours and hours and hours shaking
44:48
Speaker 12: hands and talking to people at the polls. That's not
44:51
Speaker 12: what other people did. I decided I would do that work,
44:54
Speaker 12: and I was told in no uncertain terms to f
44:58
Speaker 12: off to my faith by fifty year old women. He
45:03
Speaker 12: said they would never vote for a Republican. I mean,
45:05
Speaker 12: we got a big problem with the polarization in our society.
45:10
Speaker 12: And of course, you know, some of these people are
45:12
Speaker 12: very ill behaved and angry, and I try to hold
45:16
Speaker 12: my temper and not respond in kind, but it the
45:20
Speaker 12: society is really polarized, and it's a problem going forward.
45:24
Speaker 1: Well, I think it's the fruit of one political party
45:28
Speaker 1: saying that if the other party wins, you're going to
45:31
Speaker 1: lose all your stuff, because that's what you're seeing is
45:33
Speaker 1: the people behaving like they're in defense mode over something
45:37
Speaker 1: or another, and I think and I hear something in
45:41
Speaker 1: what you were saying there, John, And I'm curious about
45:44
Speaker 1: it because what you're saying makes a lot of sense,
45:49
Speaker 1: and in fact that it's not the issue per se,
45:54
Speaker 1: it's how you say it. Even inflation. I was talking
45:56
Speaker 1: to a friend who said, yeah, inflation is important, but
45:59
Speaker 1: things too much is much more of an understandable concept,
46:04
Speaker 1: and that we were unfortunately too highbrow about it. We
46:09
Speaker 1: were talking about inflation while they were talking about inaffordability,
46:13
Speaker 1: and though they meant the same thing we it allowed
46:18
Speaker 1: them to steal the playing field away from the fact
46:21
Speaker 1: that the cause of all those inaffordabilities was Joe Biden.
46:25
Speaker 1: Does that make any sense to you, John.
46:28
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think we do have to make the argument
46:32
Speaker 12: accessible and you know, keep it from being a Wall
46:36
Speaker 12: Street Journal editorial board commentary situation, and do make it
46:41
Speaker 12: very accessible to the average.
46:44
Speaker 18: To the average voter.
46:46
Speaker 12: Yeah, I think that's a legitimate criticism.
46:50
Speaker 18: And you know, once.
46:51
Speaker 12: Again you go back to how are most people going
46:54
Speaker 12: to receive the message?
46:57
Speaker 18: There?
46:58
Speaker 12: The vast majority of people are going to catch a
47:01
Speaker 12: headline in a printed newspaper when they run into seven
47:04
Speaker 12: eleven for a coffee or for a lunch, they're going
47:08
Speaker 12: to hear a quick story on the evening news. And
47:13
Speaker 12: we have largely lost those venues that you know, the
47:18
Speaker 12: messages that we're trying to share are not going to
47:20
Speaker 12: be shared there. And that's that's a real problem. And
47:23
Speaker 12: when you look at the numbers from November, you know,
47:26
Speaker 12: a lot of our folks stayed home.
47:28
Speaker 1: Right that was going to say, yeah, that's the turnout
47:30
Speaker 1: because really great. Yeah, it becomes the amplifier to that
47:34
Speaker 1: where if one or two percent buys what they see
47:37
Speaker 1: in the headlines, and one or two percent of conservatives
47:40
Speaker 1: stay home, well that's that's your recipe right there. So
47:44
Speaker 1: so tell us what the podcast is going to be
47:46
Speaker 1: all about. Is it going to be the news of
47:49
Speaker 1: the day or is it going to be you know,
47:51
Speaker 1: arts and entertainment. What is John Read with the podcast
47:54
Speaker 1: to be about.
47:56
Speaker 12: It'll be one hour day and I've got it divided
47:59
Speaker 12: up into three segments. You know, one of the things
48:01
Speaker 12: that was most successful for me when I was on
48:03
Speaker 12: a big flamethrower radio station in Richmond was a commentary.
48:07
Speaker 12: So there'll be three segments, a twenty minute commentary segment
48:10
Speaker 12: about whatever's going on that day. I think people gravitated
48:14
Speaker 12: to me when I was on broadcast television and radio.
48:17
Speaker 12: So that'll be included a twenty minute interview, and then
48:21
Speaker 12: I would like to include a segment that talks through
48:24
Speaker 12: some of the hot topics and headlines, whether they're cultural
48:28
Speaker 12: or political, because I think that will be interesting. What
48:32
Speaker 12: you know, go back to my days as a television
48:34
Speaker 12: reporter and as a producer. I actually produced a lot
48:37
Speaker 12: of local TV when I was starting my career, and
48:42
Speaker 12: you have to go through all one hundred two hundred
48:45
Speaker 12: things that are happening in a community or a state
48:48
Speaker 12: and pick out what you think people will be interested in.
48:51
Speaker 12: And this is one of the things I'm doing now
48:54
Speaker 12: is you know, remember rush Lmball used to have this
48:57
Speaker 12: big stack of stuff, and the stack of stuff is important,
49:01
Speaker 12: and it is where the liberals do run the media.
49:05
Speaker 12: They look at the one hundred things that you could
49:07
Speaker 12: cover on any given day and they pick the issues
49:11
Speaker 12: that they know will emotionally move voters into their column.
49:16
Speaker 12: And I do think some of that is a very nefarious,
49:20
Speaker 12: planned effort, and then some of it is just instinctive
49:22
Speaker 12: on their part. They're not going to be worried about
49:26
Speaker 12: highbrow economic and business issues because they hate business and
49:31
Speaker 12: they hate CEOs and they hate corporations, even as they
49:36
Speaker 12: use those products that are delivered to them on a
49:40
Speaker 12: regular basis. But they will be emotionally moved and motivated
49:44
Speaker 12: to cover something that is.
49:48
Speaker 18: About abortion or about.
49:51
Speaker 12: Gay rights or women's rights, that they will exploit and
49:55
Speaker 12: exaggerate those issues to try to move voters.
49:59
Speaker 18: It's really interest dynamics.
50:00
Speaker 12: So I'm going to try to have my two cents
50:02
Speaker 12: worth in what the issues of the day are that
50:05
Speaker 12: we're discussing.
50:06
Speaker 1: Hold it, you were talking about twenty million dollars a
50:08
Speaker 1: little while ago. That's a big difference between two cents.
50:11
Speaker 1: I don't know. I might be able to sponsor you
50:13
Speaker 1: for two cents.
50:14
Speaker 18: I'm kidding.
50:15
Speaker 1: John Reid is on with this the read Revolution and
50:19
Speaker 1: is there a subtext to that title, which is, you know,
50:22
Speaker 1: the conservative world needs to kind of Reagan Revolution was
50:26
Speaker 1: like this too. A lot of people said, oh, you'll
50:29
Speaker 1: never elect Ronald Reagan president because he's been divorced. Well,
50:33
Speaker 1: Reagan changed that, you know, And is that sort of
50:38
Speaker 1: subtantially what you're thinking of is that somewhere this stereotype
50:42
Speaker 1: of conservative slash Republican. If you must voters got to open,
50:49
Speaker 1: the tent flaps up and the big tent we're in.
50:53
Speaker 18: Well, let's be honest.
50:55
Speaker 12: If you're going to be an election politics, you've got
50:58
Speaker 12: to win and you have to bring in new voters.
51:02
Speaker 12: And I knew the last two or three weeks of
51:04
Speaker 12: the campaign when I was going from place to place
51:06
Speaker 12: at events that my campaign didn't organize, and I looked
51:10
Speaker 12: and it was wonderful. The people who were there enthusiastic.
51:12
Speaker 12: I appreciated seeing them, but there weren't new faces. You know,
51:16
Speaker 12: You've got to look in the crowd and see, I've
51:21
Speaker 12: I've never met this person. There's a family that's never
51:24
Speaker 12: come to a Republican event before. There's a business person
51:28
Speaker 12: who is Asian hang on, who has never come. So
51:33
Speaker 12: where do people find the podcast? John, Well, we'll be
51:37
Speaker 12: live streaming daily on x Facebook, Twitter, I mean, Rumble Truth,
51:44
Speaker 12: Social and everywhere you download podcasts. It'll be up starting
51:49
Speaker 12: on January fifth, So look for the read Revolution. You
51:52
Speaker 12: know you asked about the nomenclature. I had originally wanted
51:56
Speaker 12: to use the word renaissance because that is what I
51:59
Speaker 12: would like to see in Virginia is an economic and
52:02
Speaker 12: cultural renaissance where we live with peace and prosperity and
52:06
Speaker 12: happiness for all of our citizens. But I don't think
52:08
Speaker 12: people are interested in that right now. I think they
52:10
Speaker 12: are in a revolutionary mindset. And my hope is that
52:13
Speaker 12: if I get out in front of that movement, that
52:16
Speaker 12: I can help manage it so that we don't wind
52:19
Speaker 12: up with the destruction of the society. We rind up
52:21
Speaker 12: with a successful society. For many people's.
52:27
Speaker 1: I'm down with it, John, you hang in there, my friend,
52:30
Speaker 1: look for them on rumble X and all. And thank
52:32
Speaker 1: you sir, you have a great morning. Thanks for having
52:36
Speaker 1: me always. And that's you know. I should have probably
52:39
Speaker 1: charged him a consulting fees, so it was like a
52:41
Speaker 1: warm up rehearsal act there. Thank you for joining us
52:44
Speaker 1: this morning, first thing today here on the Tonk Media
52:47
Speaker 1: Network for all of us, I am Joe Thomas, So
52:50
Speaker 1: long and thanks.
52:51
Speaker 10: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:53
Speaker 10: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:57
Speaker 10: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
53:01
Speaker 10: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
Speaker 10: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:09
Speaker 10: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:12
Speaker 10: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
53:16
Speaker 10: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
53:20
Speaker 10: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
53:24
Speaker 10: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
53:27
Speaker 10: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
53:30
Speaker 10: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
53:33
Speaker 10: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
53:36
Speaker 10: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
53:38
