- 0:38Speaker 7: Joe thank you for letting me be of service to
- 0:41Speaker 7: you this morning. This is the radio program, the first
- 0:46Speaker 7: and foremost, and I say this with great pride. Here
- 0:49Speaker 7: at a college radio station full of college kids who
- 0:52Speaker 7: want to do radio for the next one hundred years,
- 0:56Speaker 7: A radio program that's not afraid to call itself a
- 0:58Speaker 7: radio program come to you as you bask in either
- 1:01Speaker 7: the amplitude or frequency modulation of your favorite radio station.
- 1:06Speaker 7: You being the most important local part of your radio station.
- 1:10Speaker 7: That's why while I will tell you what went on
- 1:12Speaker 7: last night, and I will give you my analysis of it,
- 1:15Speaker 7: we'll bring in some folks to chew on it. Bob
- 1:18Speaker 7: good Good for America host another podcaster, former Reagan staffer
- 1:24Speaker 7: John Reid, is going to join us in a little bit,
- 1:27Speaker 7: but he's weighing in on some Senate flips as well,
- 1:31Speaker 7: But for the most part, I really want to hear
- 1:33Speaker 7: how it's impacting you where you are. Jackie writes in Joe,
- 1:39Speaker 7: I'm disquieted with telling people how they should behave This
- 1:43Speaker 7: is America. People are allowed to live as they see fit,
- 1:47Speaker 7: and that is absolutely This is the point of what
- 1:51Speaker 7: I've always said is the most important word in the
- 1:54Speaker 7: history of mankind in its application and context.
- 1:58Speaker 1: And that word is the word there.
- 2:03Speaker 7: Two hundred and fifty years ago as we speak Thomas Jefferson, who,
- 2:08Speaker 7: by the way, if you're ever at Hofstra University, just
- 2:13Speaker 7: outside the radio station, is this amazing two times life
- 2:19Speaker 7: size statue of Thomas Jefferson in bronze, perfectly placed right
- 2:24Speaker 7: outside the broadcast radio station. When Jefferson used the word there,
- 2:33Speaker 7: it's the most important word in human history there, And
- 2:38Speaker 7: I say it's human history because America has held such
- 2:41Speaker 7: an important place in the history of mankind that the
- 2:45Speaker 7: most important word in the foundation of America was the
- 2:49Speaker 7: word there. As in we hold these truths to be
- 2:55Speaker 7: self evident, that all men are created equal, and that
- 2:58Speaker 7: they are endowed by their creator with unalienable rights. And
- 3:07Speaker 7: we can dig further into it by Jackie. I appreciate
- 3:09Speaker 7: the text message on that. Our first things this morning,
- 3:13Speaker 7: President Trump lighting fires under a lot of folks talking
- 3:17Speaker 7: about building a promenade along the Potomac up to the
- 3:21Speaker 7: Lincoln Memorial, and then hearkening to suggestions that will be
- 3:25Speaker 7: called the Trump Promenade, he said at the end of
- 3:32Speaker 7: a press gangle, they want to call it that, I'm
- 3:37Speaker 7: not sure I would, but it's going to be beautiful.
- 3:41Speaker 7: He also announced that instead of a concert full of
- 3:44Speaker 7: nineties performers, it will be him and a bunch of
- 3:48Speaker 7: people singing patriotic songs in Washington on June twenty fourth.
- 3:53Speaker 7: He said it will be the greatest rally ever. He
- 3:57Speaker 7: also mentioned the press some things of detail. Well, Bill Polti,
- 4:01Speaker 7: who light fires under most of the Democrats, for the
- 4:06Speaker 7: suggestion that he might be permanent Director of National Intelligence.
- 4:10Speaker 7: President Trump said that is not the case. He's not
- 4:13Speaker 7: going to be permanent, because you know, I don't think
- 4:16Speaker 7: he'd want to be permanent. Meanwhile, former Attorney General Pam
- 4:21Speaker 7: Bondi fired up the Greyhound and threw her former deputy
- 4:26Speaker 7: Todd Blanche underneath it.
- 4:28Speaker 1: Of course, we told you this, this is.
- 4:29Speaker 7: Just a confirmation of a story that we reported to
- 4:32Speaker 7: you last week that she told the House Oversight and
- 4:36Speaker 7: Government Reform Committee that it was all Todd Blanche's job
- 4:39Speaker 7: to handle the Jeffrey Epstein files. But now the transcript
- 4:44Speaker 7: has been released, President Trump said it's the United States
- 4:49Speaker 7: and China who will have the capability to retrieve the
- 4:54Speaker 7: enriched uranium buried under the nuclear sites, which President Trump
- 4:59Speaker 7: reiterated had been obliterated. Perhaps though, giving a look into
- 5:05Speaker 7: what this deal to end the hostilities in Iran is
- 5:11Speaker 7: going to look like, Opek says they're expecting to see
- 5:15Speaker 7: robust demand growth in oil to the tune of one
- 5:19Speaker 7: point two million barrels a day. This coming from Secretary
- 5:24Speaker 7: General Haitham al Geis, who said this in Saint Petersburg
- 5:28Speaker 7: and amongst some Ukrainian bombardments at the Saint Petersburg International
- 5:34Speaker 7: Economic Forum. A report from an independent watchdog financial group
- 5:44Speaker 7: says that the Social Security Trust Fund may be insolvent
- 5:49Speaker 7: by the year twenty thirty two, triggering automatic twenty four
- 5:55Speaker 7: percent across the board cuts for retirees. We'll get into that.

- 8:07Speaker 5: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
- 8:12Speaker 5: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
- 8:18Speaker 5: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
- 8:22Speaker 5: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
- 8:26Speaker 5: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 5: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 5: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 5: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 5: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 5: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 9:58Speaker 11: Hiry Buddy I'm Jack, and it's always a boy. Growing
- 10:01Speaker 11: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 11: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18Speaker 11: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 11: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 11: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day.
- 10:34Speaker 12: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 11: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
- 10:39Speaker 11: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:42Speaker 11: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 11: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 11: in need. So please join me An American Humane and
- 10:50Speaker 11: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
- 10:53Speaker 11: on this planet.

- 11:07Speaker 14: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10Speaker 14: heart and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Who's with me?

- 11:24Speaker 16: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 11:31Speaker 17: energy costs go.

- 13:12Speaker 2: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
- 13:15Speaker 2: Media Network, All natural and free of artificial Intelligence.
- 13:24Speaker 7: We're visiting with the host of the Good for America podcast,
- 13:28Speaker 7: former Chair of the House Freedom Concuss Bob Good this morning. Bob,
- 13:32Speaker 7: I want to play this clip though before because we
- 13:34Speaker 7: were setting up this this issue with Graham Platner and
- 13:39Speaker 7: Maine there and I want to play this clip so Nathan,
- 13:43Speaker 7: and I'm sorry if I if I say it wrong
- 13:45Speaker 7: because having worked in Massachusetts long enough, my default is
- 13:50Speaker 7: to say his name Wooster because that's how the town
- 13:55Speaker 7: is pronounced. But it might be Nathan Worcester, but he
- 14:00Speaker 7: is up with the the most wealthy presidential candidate in
- 14:06Speaker 7: the twenty twenty eight field.
- 14:08Speaker 1: Right now.
- 14:08Speaker 7: Girl has more money coming in than Sheerson brothers. Alexandra
- 14:17Speaker 7: occasional cortex on the steps of the Capitol Building confronted
- 14:21Speaker 7: by Nathan Worcester and a bunch of cameras.
- 14:25Speaker 14: You're recorded by clim the Senior Times audible rappings physically.
- 14:32Speaker 12: Yeah, I mean, as you all know, this kind of
- 14:36Speaker 12: just came out.
- 14:37Speaker 19: I've been doing, let's say, the Senate floor, so I
- 14:41Speaker 19: need to dig into everything for her before to money.
- 14:45Speaker 12: Yeah, I think he's reporting just recently came out. So
- 14:48Speaker 12: I just want to mention instructors fully.
- 14:50Speaker 7: Read a box, cry, don't ask me. I don't have
- 14:57Speaker 7: an opinion because I've been on the House floor for
- 15:02Speaker 7: what has it been now two weeks, so apparently there's
- 15:06Speaker 7: been some filibuster going on if the US House of
- 15:09Speaker 7: Representative I didn't know that AOC has been under that
- 15:13Speaker 7: particular rock for that entirety of the time. But you know,
- 15:18Speaker 7: fun and frolic of that aside, Bob, thank you for
- 15:21Speaker 7: hanging on with us. How do we, Bob, get better
- 15:27Speaker 7: representatives if we're willing like Sonny Hostin did in front
- 15:31Speaker 7: of her a dozen or so viewers on the view saying,
- 15:35Speaker 7: I think grand Plattner is a liar, a cheat, a scoundrel,
- 15:38Speaker 7: all these horrible things. But I'm going to vote for
- 15:40Speaker 7: him anyway, because, you know, because Trump. You know, how
- 15:44Speaker 7: do we operate in a sea like this? You know,
- 15:48Speaker 7: because there's no dead reckoning anymore?
- 15:50Speaker 1: Is there?
- 15:51Speaker 20: There isn't It doesn't seem but I'll in my desire
- 15:56Speaker 20: for integrity and consistency and honesty and things. The parties
- 16:01Speaker 20: have become so disparate in their worldviews, in their vision
- 16:06Speaker 20: for America and their goals for the country and what
- 16:09Speaker 20: they stand for. I mean, we have a Democrat party
- 16:11Speaker 20: that embraces socialist, communist policies, that embraces open borders, that
- 16:15Speaker 20: embraces the radical LGBT agenda, that you embraces, the view
- 16:19Speaker 20: of you know, defunding police, and the view of not
- 16:23Speaker 20: cooperating with immigration for sanctuary cities and so forth, the
- 16:27Speaker 20: welfare state and all the rest. So honestly, when we
- 16:30Speaker 20: find a compromised Republican in the general election, now, we
- 16:35Speaker 20: ought not to choose them in the primary.
- 16:36Speaker 12: That's number one.
- 16:37Speaker 20: We ought to be more discriminating and more discerning in
- 16:39Speaker 20: the primary on who we nominate. But it's hard to say, well,
- 16:43Speaker 20: you know, I'm going to vote for the communists, the godless,
- 16:46Speaker 20: the anti American, the anti Constitution, the anti Founders, and
- 16:49Speaker 20: so forth. And that's what the Democrat Party has become.
- 16:51Speaker 20: And unfortunately a lot of Democrats view do the Republican
- 16:54Speaker 20: Party as negatively because of the again the world views.
- 16:58Speaker 20: But grand Platners, I think he is. I think he's
- 17:02Speaker 20: going down. Susane Collins. Susan Collins seems to have the
- 17:06Speaker 20: Nine Lives. She survives and survives and surcribes. She's not
- 17:08Speaker 20: my favorite center. She's a moderate liberal Republican. I don't
- 17:11Speaker 20: agree with her on much of anything. But I think
- 17:13Speaker 20: the Democrats are in trouble because they could have went
- 17:16Speaker 20: with the more moderate Janet Mills.
- 17:17Speaker 12: Who's actually older than Susan Collins.
- 17:20Speaker 2: By the way.
- 17:20Speaker 20: The governor is that possible, but it seems that the
- 17:24Speaker 20: latest charges are that some of these women who he's
- 17:27Speaker 20: been found and exposed to have been sexting while he
- 17:30Speaker 20: was married are now saying that there was other concerns
- 17:34Speaker 20: on abuse and violence, and that he absolutely knew about
- 17:38Speaker 20: the Nazi tattoo that he was wearing, and that these
- 17:41Speaker 20: were unwanted advances in many cases. So I think he's
- 17:44Speaker 20: going down in what is kind of a purplish state.
- 17:47Speaker 20: Maine obviously is more blue, but Republicans can win in
- 17:50Speaker 20: some cases.
- 17:51Speaker 7: Well, you want to get Republicans fired up about Susan Collins.
- 17:56Speaker 7: Last question, financial guy, you know this stuff inside the
- 18:00Speaker 7: Value of the Dollar Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget
- 18:03Speaker 7: Issue to report yesterday saying that Social Security Retirement Fund
- 18:08Speaker 7: is going to become insolvent in six years and you know,
- 18:14Speaker 7: triggering an automatic almost twenty five percent cut to benefits.
- 18:20Speaker 7: You've warned about the value of the Dollar, You've warned
- 18:23Speaker 7: about a lot of this stuff. Is there anything that
- 18:26Speaker 7: can be done to forestall this insolvency for Social Security?
- 18:33Speaker 12: Yes, but there's not hope on the rise.
- 18:34Speaker 20: And this should be the issue that we're driving and
- 18:36Speaker 20: talking about every day as media personalities, as politically oriented folks,
- 18:40Speaker 20: and certainly our elected officials and Republicans are fumbling, betraying us,
- 18:45Speaker 20: failing us on the only issue, the issue that matters
- 18:48Speaker 20: most of all. We're spending forty percent more than we
- 18:50Speaker 20: take in. We're taking in five trillion, we're spending seven trillion.
- 18:53Speaker 20: And the snowball effect, the impact, the reason why the
- 18:56Speaker 20: affordability crisis is lingering and persistent, why inflation is an issue,
- 19:00Speaker 20: interest rates are an issue.
- 19:01Speaker 12: And it's not getting better.
- 19:02Speaker 20: The Trump economic policies aren't having the effect that did
- 19:04Speaker 20: in his first term.
- 19:05Speaker 12: It's because of that failure.
- 19:06Speaker 20: So the next president on his or her term, during
- 19:09Speaker 20: his or her term, this crisis will hit. It's no
- 19:12Speaker 20: longer theory. It's going to happen. I suspect it'll be
- 19:16Speaker 20: like twenty thirty one. It'll move up because of the
- 19:18Speaker 20: snowball effect. But yes, if they would just cut spending,
- 19:21Speaker 20: shrink government. But here's what will happen. I believe in
- 19:24Speaker 20: twenty thirty one or thirty two, when this happens, Congress
- 19:27Speaker 20: and the president at the time will simply print more money,
- 19:30Speaker 20: spend more money, and cause far greater inflation and devalue
- 19:35Speaker 20: of the dollar and loss of purchasing power and greater
- 19:37Speaker 20: consequence to us and higher interest rates because of the
- 19:39Speaker 20: political failures and no political will to deal with it
- 19:43Speaker 20: now while they should.
- 19:45Speaker 1: Well, and the fun of that is you can just
- 19:46Speaker 1: blame it on the other guy.
- 19:49Speaker 20: Well, they're complicit together because Republicans talked incessantly, relentlessly about
- 19:54Speaker 20: spending in the debt and the deaths that during the
- 19:55Speaker 20: Joe Biden years. They're spending just as much, if not more,
- 19:58Speaker 20: and they don't even talk about it anymore. And other
- 20:01Speaker 20: than Thomas Massey and Rand Pauld are being subordinate, obedient,
- 20:03Speaker 20: and subservient to the president. It hurts just as much
- 20:06Speaker 20: when Republicans do it. It's worse because of the hypocrisy,
- 20:10Speaker 20: and we ought not to be tolerating it as conservative voters.

- 20:28Speaker 12: Well, Joe, thank you, my friend.
- 20:30Speaker 7: You know, and you think about it here where we
- 20:32Speaker 7: are awash with twenty somethings who want to do radio.
- 20:38Speaker 7: What's going to be this issue when you talk about
- 20:42Speaker 7: all the controversies the back room who, what did the

- 21:11Speaker 7: eleventh COVID nineteen, all these things, What did the government
- 21:16Speaker 7: know and win? Did the government know some and not all?
- 21:21Speaker 7: Did the government know all but not some?
- 21:24Speaker 1: What was the what was the warranty? What was the
- 21:31Speaker 1: liability in it?
- 21:33Speaker 7: And this one I don't think they're even expecting because
- 21:37Speaker 7: you've got plenty of intelligence officers trying to unspin whether
- 21:42Speaker 7: the government knew about September eleventh.
- 21:44Speaker 1: And didn't catch it.
- 21:45Speaker 7: That was why they developed the Department of Homeland Security,
- 21:48Speaker 7: was because apparently Mohammad Atad these guys were on some

- 28:36Speaker 4: Maybe even visit.
- 28:38Speaker 21: I'm gonna wonder could I there anymore?
- 28:41Speaker 7: I say this coming to you, of course, as we

- 28:49Speaker 7: You here not far from where I grew up, and
- 28:53Speaker 7: I wonder if I could live there anymore. There, we've
- 28:56Speaker 7: got special guests on the line here to to go
- 29:00Speaker 7: further into a couple of the issues that we faced
- 29:04Speaker 7: this morning. But most importantly, he is going to try
- 29:08Speaker 7: to help do something about the US Senate former Ronald
- 29:12Speaker 7: Reagan staffer and George Allen Staffer as well as insurgent
- 29:20Speaker 7: candidate for the Lieutenant Governor of Virginia and John I
- 29:24Speaker 7: don't know if we've talked since some of the really
- 29:27Speaker 7: nutty stuff has started coming out, But when you have
- 29:31Speaker 7: an attorney general that can't spell attorney general and then
- 29:35Speaker 7: misspells the name of the state he represents in a
- 29:39Speaker 7: filing to the US Supreme Court. And you've got your
- 29:43Speaker 7: opponent and the lieutenant governor's race having her security guards
- 29:47Speaker 7: slam reporters into the walls of the government headquarters. I
- 29:54Speaker 7: don't know how much more we could have warned people about.
- 29:58Speaker 7: But you've got to sit there and get that Scottish
- 30:02Speaker 7: gardener from the Simpsons.
- 30:03Speaker 4: I warned you, I warned you.
- 30:05Speaker 8: I did.
- 30:07Speaker 1: How many people a day call you and say, geez, John,
- 30:10Speaker 1: I'm sorry. I wish we had known then what we
- 30:12Speaker 1: know now.
- 30:13Speaker 14: Well, there are a lot of people that are seeing
- 30:15Speaker 14: the arrogance. I mean, it's not just a policy disagreement. Okay,
- 30:20Speaker 14: you know we're not going to agree on policy. There
- 30:23Speaker 14: is a rabid arrogance with the folks who did win.
- 30:28Speaker 14: I think you see that with the governor. She's got
- 30:31Speaker 14: a lot of problems right now within her own caucus.
- 30:34Speaker 14: So I think there's this tug of war with the
- 30:37Speaker 14: arrogant Democrat leadership in the Senate and the House of Delegates.
- 30:41Speaker 14: They're going to slap her down. I think they're about
- 30:44Speaker 14: to really screw her over. Forgive me for using that word.
- 30:47Speaker 14: But when it comes to the budget, they're going to
- 30:49Speaker 14: hand her a budget and basically say you better sign it.
- 30:52Speaker 14: And then she's going to have to decide whether she
- 30:54Speaker 14: stands up for herself before the July first deadline or
- 30:59Speaker 14: are they going to drew her around like they did
- 31:01Speaker 14: to Ralph Northam when he was a Democrat governor. And
- 31:04Speaker 14: then you know, Gazala Hashmi everybody better paying attentions.
- 31:10Speaker 12: She has started a pack she is running for governor.
- 31:13Speaker 12: She's going to deny that, but that's what she's doing.
- 31:15Speaker 14: She is going to start getting a Muslim money from
- 31:18Speaker 14: around the United States to try to back a campaign.
- 31:24Speaker 14: And she's behaving like a total arrogant jerk. And then,
- 31:29Speaker 14: as you point out, the Attorney general is I mean,
- 31:34Speaker 14: he doesn't even have a staffer who reviews the document
- 31:36Speaker 14: before they send it off to the US Supreme Court.
- 31:39Speaker 12: I mean, that's basic.
- 31:40Speaker 14: If you were in high school, your teacher would hand
- 31:43Speaker 14: you the essay back and say, did you even prove
- 31:47Speaker 14: for read?
- 31:47Speaker 12: This is crazy?
- 31:49Speaker 7: That's right when you get to it, whether he was
- 31:51Speaker 7: Virginia was what he apparently was speaking on behalf of
- 31:56Speaker 7: the common author of Virginia, John Benett. But one of
- 32:00Speaker 7: the things you bring up in that, and I want
- 32:03Speaker 7: to talk about the US Senate race because I know
- 32:05Speaker 7: you're going to try to weigh in holding a debate
- 32:08Speaker 7: amongst those who want to face Mark Warner, who is
- 32:10Speaker 7: now taken to his Instagram feed with both hands, and
- 32:15Speaker 7: his new thing is he apparently likes to ride the subway,
- 32:20Speaker 7: the metro that goes in between the Senate office building
- 32:24Speaker 7: and the Capitol and as if to rub our nose
- 32:27Speaker 7: into it that they have a special way around DC.
- 32:30Speaker 12: But about trying to make himself look like a normal person.
- 32:34Speaker 20: Oh that.
- 32:36Speaker 14: The guy who's almost a billionaire and nobody realizes how
- 32:39Speaker 14: rich Mark Warner is. I'm guessing he's not riding the
- 32:42Speaker 14: real metro where you get the hell kicked out.
- 32:46Speaker 12: Of you if you're the wrong color in Washington. I'm
- 32:49Speaker 12: guessing that no, no.
- 32:51Speaker 7: Not without security anyway. But you brought up our governor
- 32:56Speaker 7: and her relationship within the House and Senate. What do
- 33:00Speaker 7: you make And you know Ben Tribbett as well as
- 33:02Speaker 7: I do. He is a commentator, but he is also
- 33:07Speaker 7: a very well paid political consultant by from what I've
- 33:12Speaker 7: seen in some of the sites that post this stuff
- 33:17Speaker 7: both Speaker Lucas and Creedd's the leader, one of the
- 33:22Speaker 7: most senior members of the Senate. You know, he's been
- 33:26Speaker 7: making as much noise as he can that the governor
- 33:30Speaker 7: is trolling around trying to come up with opponents, Democrat
- 33:33Speaker 7: opponents to run against all the senior Democrats in the
- 33:38Speaker 7: House and Senate this year. Now, if Donald Trump so
- 33:42Speaker 7: much as doesn't endorse someone like you know, in the
- 33:45Speaker 7: case of Virginia's gubernatorial race, it's front page news. Yet
- 33:50Speaker 7: the governor of Virginia is out there trying to unseat
- 33:54Speaker 7: four senior Democrats because they wouldn't accept her vetos and
- 33:59Speaker 7: her amendments.
- 34:01Speaker 1: And maybe there's more to it than that. Why isn't
- 34:04Speaker 1: this a bigger story?
- 34:06Speaker 14: Look, there's barely a press corps in Richmond anymore that
- 34:11Speaker 14: covers state politics. They're only what a handfu. I could
- 34:15Speaker 14: probably name three or four people. You used to have
- 34:18Speaker 14: twenty or thirty people who were down at the Capitol
- 34:20Speaker 14: at different times covering this. You had people who had
- 34:23Speaker 14: an institutional memory, and you had people who understood what
- 34:28Speaker 14: a good story was, whether it was a Republican story
- 34:31Speaker 14: or a Democrat story. And let's face it, the new generation.
- 34:36Speaker 14: I'm not trying to impugne anybody, but I guess it does.
- 34:40Speaker 14: The new generation they're activist reporters. They are not you know,
- 34:46Speaker 14: umpire reporters. They're activist reporters. And this is not a
- 34:50Speaker 14: good look for Abigail Spaanberger. You know, her chief of
- 34:54Speaker 14: staff is suing Ben Tribbett for defamation because he said
- 35:00Speaker 14: something about her that she says isn't true and he
- 35:04Speaker 14: refused to apologize. So it's a multimillion dollar defamation suit.
- 35:08Speaker 14: That's really not good. When the chief advisor to the
- 35:12Speaker 14: head of the Democrats in the Senate, Louise Lucas, is
- 35:16Speaker 14: at war over millions of dollars in court with the
- 35:20Speaker 14: chief of staff to the governor, I mean, that's craziness
- 35:23Speaker 14: that that's happening. And the fact that no one has
- 35:26Speaker 14: intervened to fix that problem so that it's not a
- 35:30Speaker 14: problem anymore.
- 35:31Speaker 12: That shows how dysfunctional the Democrats are.
- 35:35Speaker 7: You know what I'm waiting for, and this is because
- 35:37Speaker 7: I really I lay down on the couch and talk
- 35:40Speaker 7: to my doctor schadenfreude. I really want to see that
- 35:44Speaker 7: moment where Louise Lucas appears at a fundraiser with Glenn
- 35:47Speaker 7: Youngkin and says, you know, Glenn, I was wrong about you,
- 35:51Speaker 7: because that's when the big ones start dropping, because I
- 35:55Speaker 7: have been told by people that she dislikes the current
- 35:58Speaker 7: governor even more than she disliked the previous governor, because
- 36:02Speaker 7: that was just about politics.
- 36:04Speaker 1: So this is this is something else going on all
- 36:06Speaker 1: over there.
- 36:07Speaker 12: Well, this is you know, I'll just say it.
- 36:09Speaker 14: I think Louise Lucas is a black racist, and I
- 36:13Speaker 14: am certain she's glad that she's got a white Democrat governor,
- 36:19Speaker 14: but she's still white. And I bet you Louise Lucas,
- 36:23Speaker 14: who to her credit, you know, I mean, I would
- 36:24Speaker 14: never vote for, but the people of Portsmouth keep sending
- 36:27Speaker 14: her there for some reason. She has longevity, she has seniority,
- 36:31Speaker 14: and I'm almost certain observing her. I can't claim to
- 36:36Speaker 14: know her, but observing her over the years and just
- 36:39Speaker 14: knowing human nature, she is bound to be angry that
- 36:44Speaker 14: the female governor is a Democrat who is white and
- 36:49Speaker 14: it's not her, I mean, and that there's a rivalry
- 36:52Speaker 14: there about who's going to run the state of Virginia.
- 36:54Speaker 14: Louise is going to assert herself, and you know, this
- 36:57Speaker 14: could be any There's always this back and forth, you know.
- 37:01Speaker 14: I remember Jim Gilmore became governor, and he had been
- 37:05Speaker 14: Attorney General, but he'd never served in the House of
- 37:07Speaker 14: Delegates or or the state Senate. And I remember people
- 37:12Speaker 14: talking about Hallwai. He didn't know how the capital works.
- 37:14Speaker 14: At least he had been Attorney General of Virginia. Abigail
- 37:19Speaker 14: Spamberger shows up, I mean literally ten years ago. This
- 37:23Speaker 14: is a woman who was sitting in the front row
- 37:26Speaker 14: of the Dave Brat for Congress events, harassing Dave Brat,
- 37:31Speaker 14: and then she winds up in Congress, puts on this
- 37:34Speaker 14: fake image that she's somehow bipartisan and so benevolent, and
- 37:38Speaker 14: you know she's not really a radical. And now she's
- 37:40Speaker 14: governor of Virginia. I mean, what a rapid ascension that
- 37:43Speaker 14: has to tick off someone like Louise Lucas.
- 37:46Speaker 7: I would think, especially if she's not listening to Louise. Now,
- 37:50Speaker 7: if she walked in and said, Louise, what do you
- 37:52Speaker 7: want me to do next? I'm sure Louise would love her,
- 37:55Speaker 7: because there's nothing Louise loves more than some Louise There.

- 46:05Speaker 14: I do the show generally live at about one thirty
- 46:08Speaker 14: in the afternoon until about three and then, of course,
- 46:10Speaker 14: the nature of podcasts, you don't have to listen to
- 46:13Speaker 14: it live and listen to it anytime. It's on Apple
- 46:15Speaker 14: and Spotify and all those places that you get podcasts
- 46:19Speaker 14: and on almost every.
- 46:20Speaker 12: Social media platform.
- 46:22Speaker 14: I've really been pleased by how many people find a
- 46:25Speaker 14: spot to see it every day and then you don't
- 46:28Speaker 14: have the full ninety minutes. They're clips that are out
- 46:30Speaker 14: there of the different interviews. I've really enjoyed that and
- 46:33Speaker 14: it's a different world.
- 46:35Speaker 7: Oh yeah, without question, without two D and the rest
- 46:39Speaker 7: of the kids from the school. But and my son
- 46:43Speaker 7: tells me I need to do clips as well. I
- 46:45Speaker 7: just I told him, I said, dude, you're lucky you
- 46:47Speaker 7: get a recording of the program, never mind clips. So
- 46:51Speaker 7: coming out very soon, John, I think tomorrow is it
- 46:55Speaker 7: the debate you're hosting amongst the GOP hopefuls to unseat
- 47:00Speaker 7: everyone's favorite ranking member of the Senate Intel Committee who
- 47:05Speaker 7: just can't seem to tell you that enough times on
- 47:07Speaker 7: his Instagram feed, Mark Warner. It's the debate is tomorrow night,
- 47:12Speaker 7: right the sixth.
- 47:14Speaker 12: Well, it's tomorrow morning. I just pulled into d C. Today.
- 47:17Speaker 14: I've got a bunch of meetings and then I'll be
- 47:19Speaker 14: in loud In County. It's a sold out event with
- 47:22Speaker 14: I'm told, almost two hundred people in attendance, plus all
- 47:26Speaker 14: three of the Senate candidates that are competing for the
- 47:29Speaker 14: Republican nomination to challenge Mark Warner. Now I've interviewed all
- 47:33Speaker 14: three of them on my podcast. I've talked to them
- 47:35Speaker 14: in person on a number of occasions. I will give
- 47:38Speaker 14: all three of them credit. They do seem to be
- 47:40Speaker 14: working to try to meet voters. You know, tomorrow I
- 47:45Speaker 14: want to talk to them about whether they've gotten any
- 47:47Speaker 14: traction financially.
- 47:48Speaker 12: Let's be honest.
- 47:49Speaker 14: I just went through a statewide campaign barely raised two
- 47:53Speaker 14: million dollars for a variety of reasons, unfortunately. And I
- 47:56Speaker 14: can personally tell you you can work eighteen hour days
- 48:01Speaker 14: like I did, and you're just not going to reach
- 48:04Speaker 14: enough voters to counterbalance the Democrat money for television, radio
- 48:10Speaker 14: and print ads and mailers, and so having access to
- 48:16Speaker 14: that money so that you can reach the voters is
- 48:19Speaker 14: really important. You can be the best candidate with the
- 48:22Speaker 14: best positions, fully versed in explaining things, and if you
- 48:26Speaker 14: can't reach the voters, you're dead in the water. And
- 48:28Speaker 14: Mark Warner unfortunately has seven hundred million dollars in the bank,
- 48:31Speaker 14: I think, so you know, he's going to be able
- 48:34Speaker 14: to write a check. Even if nobody else gave him money,
- 48:37Speaker 14: and they will give him money, He's going to be
- 48:39Speaker 14: able to write a check to do whatever he wants.
- 48:41Speaker 12: You know, we know that can work. You know, we
- 48:45Speaker 12: have Glenn youngkin now had Glen york And as.
- 48:47Speaker 14: Governor because he had personal wealth and was able to
- 48:50Speaker 14: do this. So does anybody able to capitalize on that?
- 48:53Speaker 14: And then I do think all three of the candidates,
- 48:57Speaker 14: you know, this is not a dig on them, but
- 48:59Speaker 14: they're relative typically unknown within the movement. They haven't been
- 49:03Speaker 14: in the House of Delegates, haven't been in the Senate,
- 49:05Speaker 14: they have had other jobs. But I do think tomorrow
- 49:09Speaker 14: I'd like to get into assuring Virginia Republicans of the
- 49:17Speaker 14: conservative credentials of these individuals. How do they feel about
- 49:22Speaker 14: the three amendments that are coming up, what are their priorities,
- 49:25Speaker 14: and how do they match up to the conservative agenda
- 49:28Speaker 14: if you will.
- 49:29Speaker 7: Can people watch this online or do they need to
- 49:32Speaker 7: kind of be there in everyone's favorite, most ignominious county
- 49:37Speaker 7: out there Loudin County.
- 49:39Speaker 12: I've encouraged them to live stream it.
- 49:41Speaker 14: I'm sure people will videotape it and there'll be segments
- 49:45Speaker 14: of it available. I don't think they're going to live
- 49:47Speaker 14: stream it, but this will not be the only time
- 49:50Speaker 14: you'll get to hear from these folksbook Bill, I'm talking
- 49:53Speaker 14: about it after tomorrow, and I think it's really important
- 49:55Speaker 14: to hear from these people.
- 49:56Speaker 7: Well, I had came on yesterday. I thought it was
- 49:58Speaker 7: interesting you were talking about money story on the Newswire.
- 50:02Speaker 7: Senator Chris van Holland, who decidedly is not a Republican,
- 50:05Speaker 7: is bemoaning outside money in his Senate race because apparently
- 50:12Speaker 7: he doesn't like it when outside money comes in for
- 50:15Speaker 7: his opponent's campaign, but it's okay when the Soros funds.
- 50:21Speaker 7: And then the investigation into Act Blue that just started
- 50:24Speaker 7: this week, because that's been a money laundering scam faster
- 50:28Speaker 7: than you can say, George Soros there, John, And it's
- 50:32Speaker 7: interesting that you bring up I almost wish. I wish
- 50:37Speaker 7: Mark Warner could have a Graham Platner moment as I'm
- 50:40Speaker 7: looking around at all these interesting Senate races, and you know,
- 50:45Speaker 7: Mark Warner is it tries to.
- 50:47Speaker 1: Not be dull, but does so in a way that
- 50:50Speaker 1: says dull.
- 50:51Speaker 7: And I'm sure he's trying to get attention for himself,
- 50:55Speaker 7: but he's just he doesn't like the fuse the way
- 50:58Speaker 7: a guy like Graham Platner does. Do you think we
- 51:01Speaker 7: at any point could get a Grand Platin or moment
- 51:04Speaker 7: out of Mark Warner or is he too much of
- 51:06Speaker 7: an ice cream?
- 51:08Speaker 14: No, he's Look, Mark Warner was a governor of Virginia.
- 51:13Speaker 14: He's been a successful politician. You can't take that away
- 51:16Speaker 14: from him. But he's he's he Since he's been in Washington,
- 51:20Speaker 14: he and Tim Caine, both who presented themselves as pro
- 51:25Speaker 14: business moderates within the Democrat Party of Virginia, have been
- 51:28Speaker 14: revealed to be leftists. I mean they You can't be
- 51:32Speaker 14: a Democrat in d C now and be a centrist.
- 51:36Speaker 14: And so he's taken some boats. He's made a lot
- 51:38Speaker 14: of statements that place him clearly in the leftist category.
- 51:42Speaker 12: And I don't know if you've been tracking on this, Joe.
- 51:45Speaker 14: This Mark Moran, guy who intended to take on Mark
- 51:49Speaker 14: Warner in a Democrat primary. But get this, Suddenly all
- 51:54Speaker 14: of the signatures that he collected didn't get put in
- 51:58Speaker 14: the box, even though he paid people to go out
- 52:01Speaker 14: and collect these signatures, so he didn't make the ballot.
- 52:04Speaker 14: He claims, I'm not claiming this, but he claims that
- 52:08Speaker 14: Mark Warner has dementia. Not heard that, But of course
- 52:12Speaker 14: I don't go on the radio and repeat every rumor.
- 52:15Speaker 14: I've heard, but Mark Moran says on June seventeenth, he's
- 52:19Speaker 14: coming out with something that will expose Mark Warner. And
- 52:23Speaker 14: this is a Democrat doing this hypothetically. What in the world,
- 52:27Speaker 14: I don't know what that is.
- 52:29Speaker 7: So tomorrow morning, if you're in Louden County, Virginia, go
- 52:32Speaker 7: check that out.
- 52:34Speaker 1: John.
