  Speaker 6: Joe, bless you for being on the receiving end of
• 0:41
  Speaker 6: the program this morning can do me such a great
• 0:46
  Speaker 6: honor as we sit here each morning on the Talk
• 0:48
  Speaker 6: media network telling you what went on, making sense from
• 0:52
  Speaker 6: where we sit of what went on, but mostly trying
• 0:55
  Speaker 6: to hear about what it is doing to you. Where
• 0:58
  Speaker 6: you've got it going on to you, and you know
• 1:00
  Speaker 6: what's happening to you, whether it's the Treasure Coast or Portland, Oregon,
• 1:05
  Speaker 6: or all the points in between. Right here from the
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: flagship area home to both America and America Mark two,
• 1:13
  Speaker 6: it's within an hour's drive of each other, the presidential
• 1:17
  Speaker 6: homes of Thomas, Jefferson and Woodrow Wilson. It's amazing it
• 1:21
  Speaker 6: must be the water. It really must be here in
• 1:24
  Speaker 6: the Commonwealth of Virginia. And I'm telling you we put
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: the commune in commune wealth. After Tuesday's election, I received
• 1:32
  Speaker 6: one of the really greatest compliments anyone could give somebody
• 1:37
  Speaker 6: who does what I do, and given the vacuous space there,
• 1:42
  Speaker 6: it went right to my head. Lisa said to me
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: yesterday we were in an event together, and she said,
• 1:49
  Speaker 6: thank you so much for being upbeat yesterday. I really
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: didn't want to get up and face the day. I said,
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: I understand. I feel you. I've done this a few times,
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: and I've hadings where you're trying to tamp down the
• 2:02
  Speaker 6: embulence and just understand that the sun's gonna rise in
• 2:06
  Speaker 6: the same place, and the same is true when you're
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: feeling down. And I've been in dark places. I've had
• 2:14
  Speaker 6: days where I didn't know if I could get to
• 2:16
  Speaker 6: work or home from work. I have seen all the
• 2:20
  Speaker 6: problems of the world, and I understand how to deal
• 2:26
  Speaker 6: with it. And that's one of the things that we
• 2:30
  Speaker 6: try to do here. It's not just about the stories
• 2:33
  Speaker 6: of the day, it's what do the stories mean to you? Gosh,
• 2:37
  Speaker 6: I sound like one of those promos that you know,
• 2:39
  Speaker 6: the new anchor for the evening News is meet the
• 2:44
  Speaker 6: new anchor of the ABC Evening News. It's not about
• 2:47
  Speaker 6: the stories, it's what the stories mean to you. God,
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: I'm a kidding when I said it went right to
• 2:53
  Speaker 6: my head. How full of himself can Joe Thomas be
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: in the first five minutes of radio broadcast? That may
• 3:01
  Speaker 6: be the test for this morning, so much to get
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: into Craig Rucker, see fact, what are the changes in
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: the political landscape mean to green? And by green I
• 3:14
  Speaker 6: mean the cash that's attached to the fraudulent science. That's
• 3:18
  Speaker 6: still the fraudulent science regardless of any election results in
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: the green energy movement. We will get with him for
• 3:30
  Speaker 6: the host of the Good for America podcast, Bob Good's
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: going to join us this morning as well, and I
• 3:39
  Speaker 6: think that covers us from where we are. So we
• 3:42
  Speaker 6: just you know, you know what we have to do.
• 3:44
  Speaker 6: We have to get our first things in the air,
• 3:46
  Speaker 6: so that we know what we're talking about this morning, because,
• 3:49
  Speaker 6: as Arthur Conan Doyle once wrote, through the voice of
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: either his great detective or the fictition author that made
• 4:01
  Speaker 6: him up, there is much a foot Three Lower courts
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: have ruled illegal President Donald Trump's use of emergency powers
• 4:12
  Speaker 6: to impose tariffs on other countries. Now, the Supreme Court,
• 4:16
  Speaker 6: hearing final arguments with three justices Trump appointed generally favor
• 4:21
  Speaker 6: to his presidential power, will have the final word. As
• 4:25
  Speaker 6: the final arguments were made yesterday on this class action
• 4:31
  Speaker 6: suit against these tariff applications. House lawmakers of both parties
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: are demanding more answers from President Trump about military strikes
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: against drug trafficking boats. According to the DEA and the
• 4:45
  Speaker 6: Department of War. The congresspeople Congressman Seth Moulton, Democrat of Massachusetts,
• 4:52
  Speaker 6: Don Bacon, a Republican from Nebraska, Jason Crowe, Democrat from Colorado,
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: and Mike Turner, Republican Ohio, asking to get clarification on
• 5:03
  Speaker 6: the legal basis for the strikes. Democrats, applying the word
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: moderate to themselves, are pushing to end the government shutdown.
• 5:13
  Speaker 6: They met for more than two hours at lunch Tuesday,
• 5:16
  Speaker 6: while the President was meeting with Republican Senate leaders at
• 5:20
  Speaker 6: the White House to discuss parameters of a deal they
• 5:23
  Speaker 6: want to propose that would extend the Affordable Care Acts
• 5:28
  Speaker 6: subsidies that expire at the end of this year. One
• 5:34
  Speaker 6: of Virginia's top Democrats, launched a social media tirade at
• 5:38
  Speaker 6: Maryland's Democratic President Wednesday. First Bill Ferguson Maryland posted tonight's
• 5:44
  Speaker 6: resounding Democratic Party victory shows we don't need to rig
• 5:48
  Speaker 6: the system to win, pointing out to redistricting efforts. When
• 5:52
  Speaker 6: we provide a better vision of the fusure, lower costs,
• 5:55
  Speaker 6: better services, real solutions to protect against Trump, voters overwhelmingly
• 6:01
  Speaker 6: choose our leadership. While this triggered Senator Louise Lucas, headshop
• 6:06
  Speaker 6: operator and Senate President pro Tempore in Virginia, get your
• 6:11
  Speaker 6: victory in Virginia out of your mouth while you echo
• 6:14
  Speaker 6: MAGA talking points, Lucas wrote in the rant, grow a
• 6:18
  Speaker 6: pair and stand up to this president. This is just embarrassing.
• 6:23
  Speaker 6: House Democrats representing a district that President Trump won in
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: twenty twenty four is not seeking re election. Jared Golden
• 6:31
  Speaker 6: of Maine announced his plans to the Bangor Daily News
• 6:34
  Speaker 6: on Wednesday after the high profile lot robbery at the
• 6:39
  Speaker 6: Louver Museum. Apparently, security experts discovered that the surveillance system
• 6:45
  Speaker 6: password for the Louver was simply the word louve. Don't
• 6:51
  Speaker 6: look at the radio you know some of your passwords
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: are the same, and those are some of our first
• 6:56
  Speaker 6: things this morning.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: You know, it's true. Difficult times have a way of
• 7:03
  Speaker 7: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
• 7:13
  Speaker 7: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
• 7:16
  Speaker 7: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why,
• 7:23
  Speaker 7: especially now during this challenging season with health care costs
• 7:27
  Speaker 7: and out of pocket expenses going up. Meta share can
• 7:29
  Speaker 7: save you a lot of money. The typical family saves
• 7:32
  Speaker 7: five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too. It's been
• 7:36
  Speaker 7: around for thirty years. Members have shared more than five
• 7:39
  Speaker 7: billion dollars of.
• 7:40
  Speaker 6: Each other's bills.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: There are different options to choose from to fit your budget.
• 7:43
  Speaker 7: I'll give you the number here in a second, and
• 7:45
  Speaker 7: if you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: Maybe now it's the perfect time to make the switch
• 7:51
  Speaker 7: and start saving. Here you go call eight five five
• 7:54
  Speaker 7: share forty. That's eight five five shre forty eight five
• 7:59
  Speaker 7: five share.

  Speaker 1: Considered by most. Optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 1: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 1: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 1: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

• 10:21
  Speaker 9: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 9: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 9: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 9: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 9: perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: Dogs keep us safe at airports.

  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

  Speaker 18: Our guy says, are you stupid?

  Speaker 7: Now?
• 13:25
  Speaker 18: We're both down here? The friend says, yeah, but I've
• 13:29
  Speaker 18: been down here before and I know the way out.
• 13:39
  Speaker 6: So I've told this story about Then the conversation I
• 13:43
  Speaker 6: had about being upbeat yesterday morning despite the election results,
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: received this text message, Shoe, we count on shows like
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: yours to be the beacon of light on what's going on.
• 13:58
  Speaker 6: We don't expect you to be like a zoloft just
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: to make us feel better. Terry and I appreciate the text,
• 14:09
  Speaker 6: and moreover, I appreciate you listening in Lowell, Massachusetts this
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: morning on CAP. By the way, when you guys in Lowell,
• 14:21
  Speaker 6: if you see there's a Trans Siberian Orchestra show in Manchester,
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: New Hampshire, we have tickets for that for you, So
• 14:30
  Speaker 6: you've got to go to Joe Thomas in the Morning
• 14:32
  Speaker 6: dot com and enter to win. I know we're only
• 14:35
  Speaker 6: on WCAP for a little bit. That doesn't mean we
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: don't get tickets for you. We saw that TSO was
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: doing their Christmas Eve Ghost of Christmas Eve show in Manchester,
• 14:46
  Speaker 6: just up the road from you, So just so I
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: can say Manchester and have people say, well, I said that, right,
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: I also say Lancaster. Right for the friends we have
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: in Pennsylvania the event, Terry, I appreciate the point. And
• 15:02
  Speaker 6: it's not that I don't take the resounding victories of
• 15:08
  Speaker 6: the Democratic Party standard bearers on Tuesday seriously. It's that
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: I've been down in this hole before. This isn't like
• 15:19
  Speaker 6: two thousand and eight, when we were trying to figure
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: out what do we do with a president who's boldly
• 15:27
  Speaker 6: proclaimed that he believes Marxist dogma is the way we
• 15:32
  Speaker 6: need to move forward. We were making it up as
• 15:37
  Speaker 6: we went along. Then we're like, ah, who can help
• 15:40
  Speaker 6: us with Obamacare? Who can break down this thing? I mean,
• 15:43
  Speaker 6: we haven't even been allowed to read it yet. The
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: congressional leader said, we're not allowed to read it before
• 15:49
  Speaker 6: you say. And from those ashes grew the Tea Party.
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: From those ashes, which again the left came along and
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: torched the Tea Party, lampooned it. I mean there are
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: still tea party organizations there. But I mean it's not
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: this movement with tens and tens of thousands of people
• 16:09
  Speaker 6: and all these cities showing up, the Tea Party movement
• 16:12
  Speaker 6: became make America great again. Donald Trump was born of
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: the Tea Party movement. So this attitude that I have
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: towards we can get through it. God has given us
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: all the shovels we need start digging. And I say
• 16:34
  Speaker 6: it that way because many people like, I'm just going
• 16:36
  Speaker 6: to pray for you. Yeah, that's what you do. You
• 16:40
  Speaker 6: ask for God's intervention and strength and character to do
• 16:45
  Speaker 6: the right things. But we have to do the right things.
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: God's not going to grow a garden for us, but
• 16:52
  Speaker 6: He'll make sure we have the shovels we need and
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: the fertile soil. And if our soil is infertile, he'll
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: give us the intellectual heft to be able to figure
• 17:03
  Speaker 6: out how to make it fertile. These are the things
• 17:07
  Speaker 6: that get me up every morning. So Terry, I get it.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: I understand the inclination to feel like all hope is lost,
• 17:18
  Speaker 6: and it's not. We live in the greatest country with
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: the most prescient governing system ever created by mankind. To
• 17:29
  Speaker 6: defend liberty. Is it going to be the last one?
• 17:33
  Speaker 6: Are we going to finally secure the blessings of liberty
• 17:36
  Speaker 6: to ourselves and our posterity? I don't know. It is
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: a truism that liberty is only a generation away from loss.
• 17:47
  Speaker 6: Go to a turning point. That's what you should do, Terry.
• 17:50
  Speaker 6: Go to a turning point USA meeting. The luncheon that
• 17:54
  Speaker 6: I was at where Lisa told us that she appreciated
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: us being upbeat in the morning was uh. We met
• 18:01
  Speaker 6: some Turning Point USA chapter leaders who had just started
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: their Turning Point USA chapter the week before Charlie Kirk
• 18:10
  Speaker 6: was assassinated. And I tell you, these young people are amazing.
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: I had for our local flagship station, I anchored our
• 18:19
  Speaker 6: election night coverage, which was tough, but I was there for,
• 18:23
  Speaker 6: you know, until the cows came home. And a high
• 18:26
  Speaker 6: school kid, this girl should be. I almost don't want
• 18:33
  Speaker 6: her to go to journalism school. I just don't wanted
• 18:36
  Speaker 6: to get a bang bang bang bang bang and beat
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: it out of her. She's so enthusiastic, she's got a
• 18:41
  Speaker 6: terrific presentation. She's clear headed, concise to the point she
• 18:47
  Speaker 6: knows how to do it better than some of these
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: people who have network anchor positions and six figure freaking salaries.
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: It was so wonderful to be part of. But go
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: tapping into the youth and terry text message doesn't indicate
• 19:05
  Speaker 6: your age. Maybe you are in the twenties and in
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: your twenties and thirties, But go find those youths that
• 19:14
  Speaker 6: will inspire you. I mean I went to the extent
• 19:19
  Speaker 6: of having children so that they could do it for me.
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: I know, my wife and I had to do some
• 19:24
  Speaker 6: training up to get them to that point. But my
• 19:26
  Speaker 6: kids are that for me as well. But that's where
• 19:30
  Speaker 6: I get it. It's the let them show you that
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: they want to help, and you will be inspired to
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: help them as well. Like I said, God's given us
• 19:44
  Speaker 6: the shovels. God's given us the fertilizer, So let's get
• 19:51
  Speaker 6: to gardening. So in any event, one of the fascinating
• 19:57
  Speaker 6: aspects of the post election apocalypse is this battle, this
• 20:03
  Speaker 6: border skirmish in between Maryland and our flagship here in Virginia.
• 20:08
  Speaker 6: Do we have anyone, not even out in the Panhandle,
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: nobody in Maryland. I mean I used to be I
• 20:14
  Speaker 6: was down the ocean, haun. I mean it was Maryland
• 20:17
  Speaker 6: and the Delawares. We gotta get somebody in the del
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Mart Peninsula to do something with us here anyway. Uh,
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: Louise Lucas is a head shop owner. She's also the
• 20:33
  Speaker 6: what nobody calls it, that smoke shop THC provider. So
• 20:41
  Speaker 6: she has a shop that does all the dances around
• 20:44
  Speaker 6: the periphery of actually selling wacky tobacci because Virginia, that's
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: not cool yet it's cool, but they see, Virginians are
• 20:54
  Speaker 6: so funny, at least the elected ones. So Virginia elects
• 20:59
  Speaker 6: to legalize or decriminalize, to be pedantic about it, the
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: sale of marijuana. But they haven't come up with a
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: government permit for it yet because for some reason they
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: claim that they don't know how to collect a sales
• 21:16
  Speaker 6: tax for it. Really, they collect the sales tax on everything.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: They collect the sales tax on cars that you already own,
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: and they claim that, oh, we don't know how to
• 21:26
  Speaker 6: do with the sales tax for this marijuana. But Louis
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: Lucas owns one of them headshop things that's like, oh, fine,
• 21:32
  Speaker 6: smoking products and all the things you need and four
• 21:36
  Speaker 6: twenty signs everywhere, And she's not a spring chicken she
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: was around in the sixties when it was still illegal
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: but everywhere, and her battle with this guy in Maryland
• 21:48
  Speaker 6: is just indicative of what, you know, one of those
• 21:53
  Speaker 6: things that we have to look at as God has
• 21:55
  Speaker 6: given us our shovels this morning, and we'll get into
• 21:58
  Speaker 6: it after the news in a moment.
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: First thing, did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
• 22:06
  Speaker 10: Yes?
• 22:07
  Speaker 1: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12
  Speaker 1: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
• 22:27
  Speaker 1: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 22:35
  Speaker 1: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 1: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 1: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 24:12
  Speaker 1: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 1: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 1: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 1: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 1: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 1: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:41
  Speaker 1: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 24:50

  Speaker 21: Thanks around on the ground.
• 28:32
  Speaker 14: And say the ghost up.
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: You're just claiming it's a man walks down.
• 28:38
  Speaker 6: Sorry, tell you about Virginia's leading head shop owner and
• 28:43
  Speaker 6: President of the Senate pro Tempore, Louise Lucas, who once
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: got in trouble because her head shop management team thought
• 28:52
  Speaker 6: THHC laced the little they're made out of fruit loops,
• 28:58
  Speaker 6: fruit loops bars. I guess they thought that was okay.
• 29:03
  Speaker 6: She got in trouble for that. But she is the
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: steamed leader. Some would say esteemed, I think just more
• 29:11
  Speaker 6: like steamed leader of the Virginia Democrats. She has been.
• 29:16
  Speaker 6: She has waged war against Governor Glenn Youngkin since the
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: moment the Bible was put down in his inaugural address,
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: and it's the reason that nobody can do anything because
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: they're afraid of her. Even Democrats in her own district
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: here in Virginia tried to run against her and she
• 29:37
  Speaker 6: did them. And I'm not sure we've found the remains
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: of her last primary opponent. But she took to Twitter
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: to throw napalm around, because that's what you do with
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: your social media account. Bill Ferguson, the Democratic Party president
• 29:56
  Speaker 6: in Maryland, had the temeri to say that Tuesday's Democratic
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: Party victories showed we don't need to rig the system
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: to win. He didn't say the word redistrict, but Louise
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: Lucas interpreted that in between his lines. Get our victory
• 30:20
  Speaker 6: out your mouth, she said, while echoing Maga talking points.
• 30:25
  Speaker 6: She told scolded him grow a pair and stand up
• 30:29
  Speaker 6: to this president. When his tweet actually said when we
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: provide a better vision of the future, lower costs, better services,
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: real solutions to protect protect against Trump, she still writes,
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: grow a pair and stand up to this president. Maybe
• 30:48
  Speaker 6: she was sampling some of her wares from her headshop.
• 30:52
  Speaker 6: I don't know. I mean, it's considered medicinal in most
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: places these days. But this is what I mean when
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: I say we've been here before. We've watched these political
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: victories turn into shouting matches and turf wars, and we'll
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: be here to chronicle all of them for you. And
• 31:24
  Speaker 6: Louise Lucas is sadly one of those folks who defines
• 31:28
  Speaker 6: herself by what she's against, not what she's for. She's
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: presented little of anything outside of we're going to be
• 31:38
  Speaker 6: against Donald Trump and Glenn Youngkin. I mean, it's okay,
• 31:42
  Speaker 6: it's a thing, but the aspirations of those should be greater.
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: And I'm going to pivot here off of that, do
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: we have the Tim Kaine clip as well, former vice
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: presidential candidate, And believe me, he'll tell you about that.
• 32:02
  Speaker 6: Was talking about, you know, the the electoral victories that
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: the Democrats had and why they won. On Tuesday, it
• 32:15
  Speaker 6: was this is Kane, Okay.
• 32:17
  Speaker 17: I'm very focused on what it means for Virginia, and
• 32:19
  Speaker 17: I'm also focused on the message discipline that Abigail exhibited
• 32:23
  Speaker 17: by focusing on affordability, jobs, and education. And it's interesting,
• 32:27
  Speaker 17: very different candidate than the mayor of New York and
• 32:29
  Speaker 17: a different candidate.
• 32:30
  Speaker 19: Than a government Jersey.
• 32:31
  Speaker 17: They all focused on affordability issues, and I think that
• 32:34
  Speaker 17: should tell us something going forward.
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: Are they very different? I mean, Mikey Cheryl is practically
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: Abigail's span Burger's sister from another mother. You know that
• 32:46
  Speaker 6: really doesn't work as much as my brother from another mother,
• 32:49
  Speaker 6: does it? And are they all that much different from
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: the promises made by Johann mad Money in New York
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: free groceries. We're gonna have government grocery stores, and we're
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: gonna have government this and government that. Albany, the Democrats
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: in Albany are already saying the zoehand mad money. Where
• 33:16
  Speaker 6: do you think you're getting the money for this. It's
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: not Thursday at five point forty five Eastern Standard time yet,
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: and there's already fissures, if you will, And I'm not
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: going to take glee in this. This happens to Republicans
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: just as much as it does to Democrats. Every victory,
• 33:40
  Speaker 6: you know, everyone wants to inculcate themselves into the victory.
• 33:44
  Speaker 6: It's me, No, it's not you. It's me. Well, it's
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: not you or you, it's me giving it to you
• 33:50
  Speaker 6: and you you know, and it's just gosh, please, can
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: we stop matchups, make fights against a better opponent because
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: New Yorkers, I think, voted as much against Andrew Cuomo
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: as they did for Zohan mad Money. I have Democrat
• 34:12
  Speaker 6: friends from New York City. I grew up in New
• 34:14
  Speaker 6: York City, and this, like, this is it, this is
• 34:16
  Speaker 6: what we get to choose from. Can't we get build
• 34:19
  Speaker 6: a Blasio back? I mean, there were people in New
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: York who are actually saying, can't we get build a
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Blasio to run? I went to high school with Eric Adams,
• 34:30
  Speaker 6: and there were people that are like, you know what.
• 34:33
  Speaker 6: They didn't like him very much either, but he was
• 34:36
  Speaker 6: a child of the ranked choice balloting system. So just
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: let them speak. This is the thing about McCarthyism. You
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: can't arrest the Marxists. You can't arrest somebody for thinking
• 34:55
  Speaker 6: taking everyone else's stuff and redistributing it to everyone else.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: It's illegal and we have laws against that. But doesn't
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: mean you can't think it. Because we know our seven
• 35:09
  Speaker 6: deadly vices. Our seven deadly sins include jealousy. The grass
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: is always greener over the septic tank, isn't it. So
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: we're always looking at the next guy and saying, how
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: come he has nicer stuff than me. It's a sad,
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: tortuous problem in our psyche as humans. This isn't even
• 35:36
  Speaker 6: a political thing. This is a human existence thing. This
• 35:44
  Speaker 6: text message comes in from Gary in Berlin, New Hampshire.
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: Tell our friend Terrrian Lowell to calm down. This was
• 35:51
  Speaker 6: a second rate minor election in liberal land with a
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: crazy situation in New York City fueled by Republican apathy.
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: Here in Berlin, we're sending a Republican too the state house.
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: He said, it's an old defunct paper mill town that's
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: always been a Democrat stronghold. But we are transitioning, and Gary,
• 36:13
  Speaker 6: you know this program. We always stand with the people
• 36:17
  Speaker 6: who are transitioning. And I hope and I don't know
• 36:22
  Speaker 6: too much about Berlin's situation in their state house representation,
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: but it sounds to me like so many other places. Eventually,
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: somebody gets the intestical fortitude to stand up in front
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: of the voters and say, Okay, it's been decades since
• 36:38
  Speaker 6: the mill closed down, and what have the Democrats done
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: towards revitalizing the community. I mean, I'm presuming I haven't
• 36:46
  Speaker 6: talked to any of them, but that's what I would
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: do if I was in a place like that, or Martinsville, Virginia. Danville,
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: Virginia also mill towns where the mill is gone because
• 36:56
  Speaker 6: we drove the mill away because we ma it less
• 37:00
  Speaker 6: expensive to go mill our products five thousand miles away
• 37:05
  Speaker 6: and pay for a shipping container to carry them all
• 37:09
  Speaker 6: back from China and then drive them through Teamster driven
• 37:13
  Speaker 6: trucks and unloaded at Teamster union driven logistics centers so
• 37:21
  Speaker 6: they can be loaded on more Teamster driven trucks. And
• 37:25
  Speaker 6: this scenario is less expensive than making stuff in Berlin,
• 37:28
  Speaker 6: New Hampshire or Danville, Virginia. That's the stuff that makes
• 37:31

• 44:01
  Speaker 22: Talk to you for a minute. Hey, haend.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: For you from Joe Thomas. It's first thing today.
• 44:24
  Speaker 22: He's a good eva. Heyen, what's the matter?
• 44:31
  Speaker 21: You lost?
• 44:32
  Speaker 22: Powell? I want to talk to you for a minute.
• 44:34
  Speaker 22: As a matter of fact, I want to talk to
• 44:36
  Speaker 22: you about your future. You now, you're talking in the
• 44:39
  Speaker 22: wrong God, I'm seminary tiring. You know what takes two
• 44:45
  Speaker 22: hundred thousand nhs just to make a decent sandwich, and
• 44:48
  Speaker 22: I'm having trouble with just one.
• 44:50
  Speaker 6: It's good to have Bernie Sanders back in this. No, Oh,
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: that was the Ardvark cart. Oh, I'm sorry, I thought
• 44:59
  Speaker 6: it was Bernie Sander. We had Bernie Sanders. Where was
• 45:02
  Speaker 6: oh with? Here's Bernie Sanders.
• 45:05
  Speaker 23: Party leadership did not support my body in New York
• 45:08
  Speaker 23: and he won. Party leadership is not supporting a Platner
• 45:13
  Speaker 23: in Maine, and I think he's going to win. So
• 45:15
  Speaker 23: I think it is. You know, I think there is
• 45:17
  Speaker 23: a growing understanding that leadership and defending the status quo
• 45:22
  Speaker 23: and the inequalities that exist in America is not where
• 45:25
  Speaker 23: the American people are.
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: So bashing Chuck Schumer and Democratic Party leadership because they
• 45:33
  Speaker 6: are not. Go back to yesterday's program, take out your
• 45:38
  Speaker 6: Joe Thomas in the Morning notebook, where obviously you scribe
• 45:42
  Speaker 6: everything that I say. No, no, I'm sorry. Those are
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: the keyboard warriors of the left that do that no,
• 45:50
  Speaker 6: So let's go back to what we said yesterday regarding
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: the arithmetic. As Ronald Reagan told us in nineteen sixty four,
• 45:59
  Speaker 6: do a little arithmetic. How do these elections happen? It
• 46:04
  Speaker 6: begins with vote suppression. So as in the sixty years
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: since the Great Society was created, four times as many
• 46:12
  Speaker 6: Americans live below the poverty level. That number, just take
• 46:19
  Speaker 6: New Jersey is I checked, is about twelve percent of
• 46:23
  Speaker 6: New Jersey's population lives below the poverty level. And then
• 46:29
  Speaker 6: the working poor, the paycheck to paycheck crowd. There's an
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: acronym for it. It's like their alyses or something like that.
• 46:39
  Speaker 6: Everybody has an acronym these days. So the working poor
• 46:46
  Speaker 6: make up another ten to fifteen percent of the population.
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: So now you're at thirty seven percent of the population
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: is in some way, shape or form looking for somebody
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: to help them out. They are either getting snap benefits
• 47:10
  Speaker 6: or rent assistance or electric subsidies in some way, shape
• 47:17
  Speaker 6: or form, somebody in the government after filling out the
• 47:20
  Speaker 6: forms that whatever regional office of the state government is
• 47:25
  Speaker 6: are getting some sort of assistance. And now with of
• 47:28
  Speaker 6: course the Affordable Care Act making medicine even less affordable.
• 47:33
  Speaker 6: Now since COVID they have to have subsidies even for
• 47:36
  Speaker 6: the Affordable Care Act. And so when you can get
• 47:48
  Speaker 6: the amount of voters down to fifty some odd percent Virginia,
• 47:54
  Speaker 6: for example, fifty four percent voter turnout during Tuesday's election,
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: only you need is twenty seven percent of the population
• 48:03
  Speaker 6: to believe that if a Republican wins, they're going to
• 48:08
  Speaker 6: be out on the streets with nothing to eat, which
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: is a lie, but it's a lie they tell really
• 48:18
  Speaker 6: well because they've been telling it for generations of Democrat
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: office seekers. But if you can convince twenty seven percent
• 48:26
  Speaker 6: of a population that's going to happen to them, you
• 48:30
  Speaker 6: don't need to work really hard to win an election.
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: If only fifty four percent of the voters turn out,
• 48:36
  Speaker 6: and if you already have thirty seven percent of the
• 48:39
  Speaker 6: population requiring some sort of government assistance, well you don't
• 48:43
  Speaker 6: even need to get all of them. It's called the
• 48:47
  Speaker 6: running against Santa Claus. And it's one of the reasons
• 48:52
  Speaker 6: Republicans don't like Trump because Trump leans into that and says,
• 48:58
  Speaker 6: how has this been helping you? Has this made things
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: any better for you in the poor inner city? Ethnically,
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: in diverse communities, I'll use that phrase, the Black communities,
• 49:11
  Speaker 6: the Latino communities where they can only afford, you know,
• 49:15
  Speaker 6: a broken down, drafty, poorly plumbed tenement in an inner
• 49:23
  Speaker 6: city in Texas or wherever it might be. So there
• 49:33
  Speaker 6: they have it, and there's their voter base. And here's
• 49:40
  Speaker 6: the question I want you to ask. And when you
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: know in that position, what is the impetus for an
• 49:49
  Speaker 6: elected official like our friend the Ardvark from Vermont? Why
• 49:56
  Speaker 6: would I help people? Not people who's going to vote
• 49:59
  Speaker 6: for me? What is their motivation to make people less poor?
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: Because when people become less poor, they become more Republican.
• 50:15
  Speaker 6: Now Republicans are a whole other matter. We can give
• 50:19
  Speaker 6: them a checkup from the neck up in a little bit,
• 50:21
  Speaker 6: but right now we're talking about the rhetoric of vote
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: for Santa Claus, vote for me, and the stuff will
• 50:29
  Speaker 6: keep coming. It may not be a lot of stuff,
• 50:33
  Speaker 6: if I may use my Bertie Sanders impression, it's not
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: a lot, but it's a life. It's your lot in life.
• 50:46
  Speaker 6: This is what we know how to do. This. We
• 50:51
  Speaker 6: know how to hold their feet to the fire. We
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: know what they're going to try to do, and we
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: know how they're going to try to do it too,
• 51:00
  Speaker 6: So take heart a couple of updates amendments. We have
• 51:04
  Speaker 6: updates to the redistricting suit. Apparently all hope is not lost,
• 51:09
  Speaker 6: although there are some I talked to one of the
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: lawyers that brought the anti redistricting suit here in Virginia
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: and the it's not in the way we just depicted
• 51:22
  Speaker 6: it yesterday as bad. But there are bad things in there,
• 51:25
  Speaker 6: and we will detail that for you quickly. Coming up tomorrow,
• 51:29
  Speaker 6: we're going to do some more drawings for the Trans
• 51:31
  Speaker 6: Siberian Orchestra concert. We've got tickets in San Antonio and
