• 0:04
  Speaker 1: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 0:09
  Speaker 1: the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
• 0:12
  Speaker 2: George said, steal me Stem, you have a day.
• 0:17
  Speaker 3: Least for work.
• 0:18
  Speaker 4: When my son comes up, drops a kid to scooking
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: the way Joe has everything. A Jinda all the treasure said,
• 0:26
  Speaker 4: needs no one that Joe's Ai smiled.
• 0:30
  Speaker 5: He only as let her be Joe.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: this morning.
• 0:38
  Speaker 6: I want to be Joe, you know.
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: And we mentioned this.
• 0:44
  Speaker 7: We talked a little bit about this in abstract yesterday.
• 0:47
  Speaker 7: The clip is Virginia gubernatorial candidate Abigail Spanberger and uh
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: and she repeats it over and over again. And yesterday
• 0:59
  Speaker 7: she was on with Katie Couric. Actually I guess it
• 1:03
  Speaker 7: was Tuesday afternoon. She was on with Katie Couric on
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: Katie's YouTube channel or whatever, and she said, I'm really
• 1:15
  Speaker 7: getting tired of answering questions about j Jones text messages.
• 1:20
  Speaker 7: It's taking away from telling people what my agenda is.
• 1:24
  Speaker 7: And I just wrote a piece I hope hopefully it
• 1:26
  Speaker 7: publishes today at Daily Signal dot com. It's not out yet,
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: but basically saying, listen, being governor is not about pushing
• 1:34
  Speaker 7: your agenda. Yes, agendas are important for us to hear
• 1:37
  Speaker 7: about as you campaign, just like seeing how you perform
• 1:41
  Speaker 7: in a debate one on one with your opponent. But
• 1:45
  Speaker 7: you know, governing, just like being the boss of any enterprise,
• 1:51
  Speaker 7: is about being able to get off the agenda and
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: deal with the crisis at hand. You know, some levy
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: breaks in New Orleans and you're the mayor or the governor,
• 2:05
  Speaker 7: and you've got to put the agenda down and go
• 2:09
  Speaker 7: deal with the crisis. Or a blizzard puts seven feet
• 2:13
  Speaker 7: of snow in Erie County, New York. Or a dracho
• 2:17
  Speaker 7: knocks out power in Virginia for a month, you got
• 2:21
  Speaker 7: to put the agenda aside. Jim Gilmore, your friend of mine,
• 2:26
  Speaker 7: governor of Virginia in twenty one. He had plenty of
• 2:31
  Speaker 7: things on his agenda. He had to put him aside
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: when the airplane started landing on the Pentagon and killing Virginians.
• 2:40
  Speaker 7: It's just what happens. It's it's the importance of leadership,
• 2:46
  Speaker 7: I guess is the word. You know, you're looking for
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: leadership says Okay, well here's what I wanted to do,
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: but it wasn't there, or other folks had, you know,
• 2:59
  Speaker 7: things that needed to have happened. So we did those things.
• 3:04
  Speaker 7: It's not wrong, and it's not you know, means spirit.
• 3:08
  Speaker 7: But do you know there's that thing that Clark was
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: talking about, maybe we're addicted to rage and maybe they
• 3:16
  Speaker 7: play on it. I want to explore it because we
• 3:17
  Speaker 7: have a great clip John Fetterman of Pennsylvania, and more
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: and more Democrats are leaving this this narrative over at
• 3:24
  Speaker 7: Fetterman sort of the standard bearer for it.
• 3:28
  Speaker 8: I don't know why, and I've always refused to say.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: That when talking about fascists.
• 3:33
  Speaker 8: It's referred to President Trump as a fascist.
• 3:38
  Speaker 3: And I knew absolutely we lost the plot.
• 3:40
  Speaker 7: That we lost the plot, meaning the Democratic Party. Democratic
• 3:46
  Speaker 7: Party lost the country, you know. And it's the same
• 3:51
  Speaker 7: basket of deplorable stuff that they want to do. It's
• 3:55
  Speaker 7: it's about us versus them, and it's divisive, and I
• 4:00
  Speaker 7: think it's divide and conquer because that's how they.
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: Want to do it.
• 4:05
  Speaker 7: And every time somebody says, oh, it's civil war, who's
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: supporting this, who's flaming this? The same political party that
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: flamed it in the eighteen sixties. Our first things this morning,
• 4:16
  Speaker 7: Senate Majority Leader John Thune, after failing again to advance
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: a measure to restore the government to operation, met with
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: a group of GOP senators to discuss and this is
• 4:27
  Speaker 7: curious possible ways forward on healthcare once the government reopens.
• 4:33
  Speaker 7: Could this be a signal that they're going to give
• 4:36
  Speaker 7: in on extending the Obamacare subsidies. After blocking deployment of
• 4:42

  Speaker 7: it's already starting to teeter in place. President Donald Trump
• 5:08
  Speaker 7: said Wednesday expects to strike a sweeping agreement on quote,
• 5:14
  Speaker 7: everything with Chairman Shijing Ping of China when they meet
• 5:18
  Speaker 7: in South Korea soon. Speaking from the Oval Office, Trump
• 5:22
  Speaker 7: said that next week's meeting with she quote will make
• 5:26
  Speaker 7: a deal on I think everything. I think we're going
• 5:29
  Speaker 7: to make a deal on soybeans and the farmers, and
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: I think we're going to make a deal maybe even
• 5:34
  Speaker 7: on nuclear. The president also confirmed that it's not just
• 5:39
  Speaker 7: a renovation of the East wing that will include access

  Speaker 11: When when the Vice President Harris referred to the President
• 13:16
  Speaker 11: Trump as a fascist, and.
• 13:17
  Speaker 26: I knew absolutely you lost the plots at that point
• 13:20
  Speaker 26: on your to do list.
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: Gotta be fired up this hour of the morning.

• 13:41
  Speaker 7: be fired up. Thank you for letting me be of
• 13:44
  Speaker 7: service to you. Uh four three four eight eight two four,
• 13:48
  Speaker 7: two one seven, as we break down the news of
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: the day and so much of it going on the
• 13:56
  Speaker 7: media's mania over the East Wing. If you want to
• 13:59
  Speaker 7: talk about the East Wing renovations, the ballroom, all of that,
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: I'll go get the clip of Lyndon Johnson talking to
• 14:06
  Speaker 7: his tailor about needing a new ballroom. But you know,
• 14:10
  Speaker 7: that's fine, we can do that. But there's so much
• 14:12
  Speaker 7: more this stuff with Jen Saki, and it's a gut
• 14:17
  Speaker 7: punch and tearing down history. The thing is, the thing
• 14:22
  Speaker 7: was built in nineteen o two. It wasn't mandated in
• 14:26
  Speaker 7: the US Constitution, but it really is. A Marxist believes
• 14:33
  Speaker 7: in the trappings. This is why it's when you beat
• 14:37
  Speaker 7: a Marxist, what you do is you tear down all
• 14:39
  Speaker 7: the statues they put up. This is why Lenin, all
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: the pictures of Lenin and Saddam Hussein and all these
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: statues of these people were about the edifice, the artificial, rather.
• 14:57
  Speaker 3: Than the real.
• 15:00
  Speaker 7: You know, during the media of taking down Confederate statues
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: in twenty seventeen, my hometown took down one statue that
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: I thought really was a tell. And many of the
• 15:11
  Speaker 7: elected officials are still in office which is sad because
• 15:14
  Speaker 7: nobody wants to run against them because you know they
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: might say mean things about them.
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: Guess what they're gonna say mean things about you anyway.
• 15:23
  Speaker 7: But they took down a statue called at Ready. It
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: was on the most poignant statue civil War monument. It
• 15:30
  Speaker 7: was outside the courthouse. It was an unnamed resident of
• 15:35
  Speaker 7: the community holding his rifle, ready to go defend his
• 15:40
  Speaker 7: community against an invader. And every time I see a
• 15:43
  Speaker 7: picture of a Ukrainian farmer fending off Russian soldiers with
• 15:48
  Speaker 7: their rifles, I think of that at Ready picture, that
• 15:53
  Speaker 7: statue that they That was one of the first ones
• 15:55
  Speaker 7: they took down. And they said, great, you're taking down
• 15:59
  Speaker 7: the statue of a regular civilian who's just trying to
• 16:03
  Speaker 7: defend his community. I think that's a big message. Nobody cared.
• 16:08
  Speaker 7: Nobody cared because they've they've seeded the playing field to
• 16:12
  Speaker 7: the Marxist in too much of these college sounds like
• 16:16
  Speaker 7: Charlottesville and Corvallis, and they shrug and say, oh, it's
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: Marxist everywhere. You know what, you got to keep making
• 16:24
  Speaker 7: the case. This email I've heard me talking to doctor
• 16:28
  Speaker 7: Clark says you and doctor Clark seem to never end
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: with you. Your enthusiasm is never ending for all of
• 16:35
  Speaker 7: this stuff. But some of us get tired of it. Joe,
• 16:38
  Speaker 7: it's like it keeps coming. Well, that's part of Olensky,
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: that's part of better Call Saul. He says, your your
• 16:45
  Speaker 7: tactics must be something that your people enjoy because you're
• 16:50
  Speaker 7: going to have to keep doing them a long time.
• 16:53
  Speaker 7: But it's about division. This is this is why Fetterman,
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: That was John Fetterman. You heard it the onset of
• 16:59
  Speaker 7: the say there. This is the clip yesterday was on Fox.
• 17:04
  Speaker 8: And when then the Vice President Harris referred to President
• 17:08
  Speaker 8: Trump as a fascist, and I knew absolutely we lost
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: the plot.
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: At that point.
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: And so and he's not the only one who's the
• 17:19
  Speaker 7: there's another one. Jared Golden of Maine has blamed far
• 17:26
  Speaker 7: left Democrats and Democrat leadership for the ongoing government shutdown,
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: and the fissiers are starting to show. So on October
• 17:36
  Speaker 7: twenty seventh, Snap money goes away. Now, I and probably
• 17:42
  Speaker 7: you because you're listening, see this as a great opportunity
• 17:46
  Speaker 7: to talk about why do we need Snap for so
• 17:49
  Speaker 7: many Americans? I mean, we're talking about subsidies all over
• 17:55
  Speaker 7: the place. And the more you say ubsidize something, the
• 18:01
  Speaker 7: more it's going to get expensive.
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: It's just axiomatic.
• 18:06
  Speaker 7: Even John Stewart got that, and that famous clip that
• 18:11
  Speaker 7: we played from Monday Night with Bernie Sanders answer to
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: the trivia question, what do you have to do to
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: make John Stewart seem like the conservative? Sit him next
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: to Bernie Sanders. But even John Stewart can't hide the
• 18:27
  Speaker 7: fact that subsidy and ongoing unending subsidy based on the
• 18:33
  Speaker 7: fact that if the subsidy ends, the politician that allowed
• 18:36
  Speaker 7: it to end is against clean water or public schools
• 18:41
  Speaker 7: or whatever nonsense that the people who have grown fat
• 18:44
  Speaker 7: and happy eating off of the subsidy want. And it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 7: one thing to say, you have government assistance programs and
• 18:53
  Speaker 7: they're faceless, and they're nameless, and you tell me, I
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: mean there was when my first child was born, took
• 19:01
  Speaker 7: the what's the what's the program that you get Wick
• 19:04
  Speaker 7: women and infant children.
• 19:06
  Speaker 3: We took Wick.
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: Because I hate to tell you, this radio is not
• 19:11
  Speaker 7: lucrative for a lot of people, and where we were
• 19:14
  Speaker 7: at the time, you know it was it was not
• 19:18
  Speaker 7: a lucrative profession. But we had a newborn baby. And
• 19:20
  Speaker 7: there was a program in Maryland, you know, and federally
• 19:23
  Speaker 7: funded called, you know, Aid for Women and Infant Children,
• 19:27
  Speaker 7: and we took it for a while, but you know,
• 19:32
  Speaker 7: at some point you have to.
• 19:33
  Speaker 3: Get off of it.
• 19:35
  Speaker 7: And that's that's what people in the government won't do,
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: is say we we've made you addicted to this stuff.
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: Let me get to you at four three four eight
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: eight two four two.
• 19:46
  Speaker 7: One seven, as I say, I want to see how
• 19:48
  Speaker 7: the news is impacting you where you are. Good morning,
• 19:51
  Speaker 7: Who's this.
• 19:53
  Speaker 11: Morning show?
• 19:53
  Speaker 6: Is mine?
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: Hey Mike Radio? How are you sir? What's going on?
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: What's on your mind?
• 19:58
  Speaker 11: Okay? I asked for made it through the entrance corridor,
• 20:02
  Speaker 11: but I only got a minute or two. We'll make
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: this very quick when I uh, you know, I lost
• 20:09
  Speaker 11: a job because of obamater I'm sorry, a Vertible Care Act.
• 20:13
  Speaker 6: Yes.
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: Well.
• 20:14
  Speaker 24: A couple of.
• 20:15
  Speaker 11: Years later, I was working for myself, but without insurance,
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: ended up going to the emergency room. They gave me
• 20:25
  Speaker 11: a lower bill because I was willing to pay cash
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: then go through insurance. A year later, I took a
• 20:34
  Speaker 11: job with a company. Spoke with the human research person
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: that would have costed me more out of pocket to
• 20:42
  Speaker 11: have gone to the emergency room through their insurance company.
• 20:47
  Speaker 7: Because of thee Yeah, no, and that's true. And a
• 20:51
  Speaker 7: lot of doctors you gotta you have to trust the person.
• 20:54
  Speaker 7: But if you trust the person, you can find out
• 20:57
  Speaker 7: what the cash rate is at your doctor's off. And
• 21:00
  Speaker 7: more and more people join those direct primary care associations, which.
• 21:05
  Speaker 5: Is just that.
• 21:06
  Speaker 7: It's it's you pay to join sort of a membership
• 21:09
  Speaker 7: club and you and the doctors. Yeah, it is in
• 21:14
  Speaker 7: a lot of ways. And then there's a network of
• 21:16
  Speaker 7: doctors that will see you and it's covered under your
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: membership dues. And that's it's but that's proof to what
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: you were saying, your copay was going to be higher
• 21:28
  Speaker 7: than what the emergency room charged you cash for that there, Mike,
• 21:34
  Speaker 7: and I appreciate that.
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: What was your other thought?
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: Well, years ago, when I was working in the printed
• 21:44
  Speaker 11: media or helping with it, it was noted that the
• 21:49
  Speaker 11: attention span of what child was eight minutes and twenty
• 21:53
  Speaker 11: seconds long, So if you had a cartoon or a
• 21:57
  Speaker 11: TV show, the scene had to change every eight min
• 22:01
  Speaker 11: Let's see.
• 22:02
  Speaker 26: If something costs less but people are happier with it.
• 22:05
  Speaker 26: That sounds like something to look into, and that is
• 22:08
  Speaker 26: meta Share. Maybe you've heard switching to meta share to
• 22:10
  Speaker 26: pay for healthcare can save many families up to five
• 22:13
  Speaker 26: hundred bucks a month, and that is huge. But it's
• 22:15
  Speaker 26: also true that people are way more satisfied after making
• 22:18
  Speaker 26: the switch too. The members satisfaction rate for meta share
• 22:22
  Speaker 26: is double that of the typical health insurance plan.
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: Double.
• 22:25
  Speaker 26: Meta share works too. It's been around for thirty years.
• 22:28
  Speaker 26: Members have shared more than five billion dollars of each
• 22:31
  Speaker 26: other's bills. People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide
• 22:34
  Speaker 26: PPO network. So yeah, really you can save a ton
• 22:37
  Speaker 26: and like it better. Imagine being happy with how you're
• 22:40
  Speaker 26: taking care of your healthcare. So if you're self employed

  Speaker 7: he's seen in the sporting world. Quiet night last night.
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: I actually in my scoreboard this morning, I had to
• 28:40
  Speaker 7: give a Washington Wizards Wizards score. I mean, I hope
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: I don't have to give Washington Wizards scores too much
• 28:47
  Speaker 7: because it's gonna be a long year.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: Yeah, there were a lot of top performances that you know,
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: a lot of talk about Victor Wimbanyama, who who was
• 28:56
  Speaker 8: fifteen to twenty one from the floor had forty and fifteen,
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: a franchise record for the beginning. And then Cooper Flagg
• 29:03
  Speaker 8: didn't score in the first half and he ended up
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: going ten to ten. And I was playing point guard,
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: you know, for the Mavericks, so they're testing.
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: The waters there.
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: But yeah, there were a lot of great performances last
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: night as the NBA's underway.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: But who's the guy, which they said Jannis at with
• 29:19
  Speaker 7: Milwaukee who pasted the Wizards, but I mean he dropped
• 29:23
  Speaker 7: thirty seven on him.
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, everybody, That's why I said, it was just such
• 29:26
  Speaker 8: a big night for a lot of Donovan Mitchell had
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: a big night, and you know it was Yeah, it
• 29:31
  Speaker 8: was just a big night for a lot of players.
• 29:34
  Speaker 8: So this was a story that we talked about briefly
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: in August and didn't pay much attention to it. But
• 29:42
  Speaker 8: now it's a reality because the weight is over. The
• 29:45
  Speaker 8: Women's Pro Baseball League, the WPBL has officially named its
• 29:49
  Speaker 8: first four cities, La San Francisco, New York, and Boston.
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: Now it's an historic staff for sure, as women's professional
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: baseball to the national stage. They had over six hundred
• 30:02
  Speaker 8: players from ten different countries and participated in the league's
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: summer tryouts. They went to Natz Park in Washington. The
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: top one hundred players from the tryouts advanced. Because the
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: four teams now will draft in November, they'll have a
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: draft in November and each team is going to get fifteen. Now,
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: did I don't know if I mentioned La San Francisco,
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: New York, and Boston the four cities they're going to
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: play the neutral site that has not been announced yet.
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: And so the way they've set it up, it starts
• 30:29
  Speaker 8: in May, the player draft in November. The league begins
• 30:33
  Speaker 8: in May, seven inning games, seven week season Thursday to Sunday.
• 30:38
  Speaker 8: They will be using aluminum bats. They are going to
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: pay for the housing for the women too, and so anyway,
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: Alex Hugo is a special advisor to the league. The
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: only two time USA Baseball Sportswoman of the Year, she
• 30:52
  Speaker 8: was a softball player and a fast pitch outstanding player.
• 30:57
  Speaker 8: Played for the University of Georgia also the University of Kansas. Anyway,
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: she said, this is just such a positive step for
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: the league and they're certainly moving in the right direction.
• 31:05
  Speaker 20: I think there's been such a high level of international
• 31:07
  Speaker 20: play for so many years, so I think having all
• 31:11
  Speaker 20: of that talent spread out around the world coming here
• 31:14
  Speaker 20: and now with this organization that we have stumbled upon,
• 31:18
  Speaker 20: you know, with a lot of planning, I think that
• 31:20
  Speaker 20: it's going to allow them to showcase, you know, the
• 31:22
  Speaker 20: international levels that we've seen.
• 31:24
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and certainly there's no crying in baseball, and all
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: the cliches from the movie will be certainly taking effect.
• 31:30
  Speaker 8: But the draft will be in November, and we'll try
• 31:32
  Speaker 8: to keep you putting now from one baseball story to
• 31:35
  Speaker 8: the other, because this is pretty alarming. Tennessee baseball coach
• 31:40
  Speaker 8: Tony Vittello will officially be the new manager of the
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: San Francisco Giants.
• 31:45
  Speaker 6: This is, without.
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: Precedent, one that could be the beginning of one of
• 31:48
  Speaker 8: the best baseball stories depending on what happens, or a
• 31:52
  Speaker 8: massive of failure like an embarrassment. All right, Forty seven
• 31:55
  Speaker 8: year old Vittello was the first of his kind of
• 31:57
  Speaker 8: college coach, no professional experience as a player or coach,
• 32:02
  Speaker 8: to make the leap directly to an MLB manager, Pat Murphy.
• 32:06
  Speaker 8: The Brewers coached in college, but you know, he had
• 32:09
  Speaker 8: a lot of pro experience to the higher two, but
• 32:11
  Speaker 8: none exactly like Vittello. And I know people around the
• 32:14
  Speaker 8: Hook and of course down in Mississippi are wondering, well,
• 32:17
  Speaker 8: Brian O'Connor ever make that.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: You know, it's just a local thing. So but Tony
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: Vittello's bean.
• 32:22
  Speaker 8: You know, he's been a major splash, really good for
• 32:24
  Speaker 8: Tennessee and so he takes that step. Okay, speaking of
• 32:28
  Speaker 8: Tennessee State, I've got one transition to the next, to
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: the next.
• 32:32
  Speaker 6: Yeah. The hole in one.
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: Yeah, hitting a hole in one could be a once
• 32:36
  Speaker 8: in a lifetime experience unless you're my buddy Jimmy Cassello.
• 32:39
  Speaker 8: I think he said five. And I'm the one who
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: goought him out of play golf in nineteen ninety eight
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: at Pete Yillen's tournament.
• 32:45
  Speaker 6: My only hole in one earned me a car.
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: I ended up in nineteen ninety eight Uzuzu Rodeo with
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: a license plate that said one swing. And of course
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: some people in Charlesvil thought it was I swing and
• 32:57
  Speaker 8: then that turned into phone numbers on my windshield. True story,
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: all right, Swanee softboret golfer, It really happened. Swanee a school,
• 33:06
  Speaker 8: a D three school in Tennessee. Neil Phillips played the
• 33:09
  Speaker 8: Chick fil A Invitational Monday morning in Rome, Georgia. Any
• 33:13
  Speaker 8: other day, you know, kids trying to compete. He stepped
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: up to a Part three one hundred and eighty two
• 33:18
  Speaker 8: yard the eighth hole at Stonebridge Golf Club, and he
• 33:21
  Speaker 8: made a hole of one. That's pretty good. Well, they're
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: gonna play thirty six. Guess what he did?
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: He goes back to the same hole second and makes
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: another hole in one on the same hole. Well, and
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: he ends up finishing fourteenth in the tournament. I mean, well,
• 33:36
  Speaker 6: hold on, how good is that? Right? Hold it?
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: How do you not win a tournament you dropped?
• 33:41
  Speaker 6: How do you not win a tournament with two holes
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: in one? Yeah, that's that's exactly right.
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: Why give it up to we had you know NFL
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: football starts tonight. Week eight, I guess Vikings and Chargers.
• 33:51
  Speaker 8: But John Harbaugh of the Ravens has been just talking
• 33:55
  Speaker 8: his blue streak about because Lamar showed up in practice today,
• 34:00
  Speaker 8: first time in twenty four days. So it turns out
• 34:04
  Speaker 8: that with the losing streak, the veterans of the Ravens
• 34:07
  Speaker 8: team said, you know what, get rid of the pinball machine,
• 34:10
  Speaker 8: get get rid of the ping pong table. So you know,
• 34:14
  Speaker 8: the relax you know things that they gone. They took
• 34:19
  Speaker 8: them out of the locker room. The equipment guys had to.
• 34:21
  Speaker 6: Come and say, you guys, are you guys are gone?
• 34:23
  Speaker 6: No more so anyway, they're ready.
• 34:25
  Speaker 8: But he did suit up for practice, and Arba was
• 34:27
  Speaker 8: noncommittal in his presser. He said, well, yet, you know
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: he gives great energy, he brings energy to the whole team.
• 34:34
  Speaker 6: Blah blah blah blah blah.
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: So we don't know whether you know he's going to
• 34:37
  Speaker 8: play on Sunday against the Bears or not. Yeah, the
• 34:40
  Speaker 8: flock is they're one and five after they're they're four straight,
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: So that's a that's a hamstring thing.
• 34:45
  Speaker 6: So there you go.
• 34:46
  Speaker 8: As I said, Week nine, College Ranks South Alabama Georgia
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: State share the spotlight tonight.

  Speaker 8: Of course, they're in Lane Stadium hosting cal and then
• 34:57
  Speaker 8: of course it's on to Virginia for Bill Belichick.
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: They'll be in Keenan Stadium for that game. The oldest
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: rivalry in the South, so yeah, it's still build that way.
• 35:08
  Speaker 7: Is at like eighteen ninety seven the first football game
• 35:11
  Speaker 7: between Virginia and North Carolina and something like that.
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: Yeah, and Virginia is a ten point favorite on the road,
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: so uh, you know, yeah, I'm gonna lock in. I
• 35:20
  Speaker 8: got a charity tournament in the morning that for a
• 35:23
  Speaker 8: mentorship program for kids, So we're gonna do that in
• 35:26
  Speaker 8: the morning, and then yeah, I'm gonna lock in at
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: twelve noon, probably in the nineteenth old for at least
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: the first half, and watch Virginia in North Carolina, which
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: you know should be good. And I think, you know what, again,
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: it just leads to, you know, Belichick is there, he's
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: trying to turn it, he's getting ripped, he's getting.
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: You know, everybody in the world that we're gonna button.
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: I talk about it this week because it's just every
• 35:49
  Speaker 8: talk show, every talking heads, every podcast, every it's just
• 35:54
  Speaker 8: and now I'm joining for it because I'm gonna just
• 35:57
  Speaker 8: bring to the table what everybody is saying. And you know,
• 36:00
  Speaker 8: it's it's this disaster, it's that disaster. It's Jordan Hudson,
• 36:04
  Speaker 8: it's the No Talent, it's Michael Lombardy selling parents on
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: come to Chapel Hill, you'll be trained well.
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: But they're also they're also throwing in his Cleveland record
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: and his post Brady record to say, well, without Tom Brady,
• 36:19
  Speaker 7: maybe Tom Brady still has some eligibility. But did you
• 36:22
  Speaker 7: ever see the movie Air. I'm sure you've seen the movie. Yeah, okay,
• 36:26
  Speaker 7: Matt Damon, Yeah, the speech Matt Damon gives Michael Jordan
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: or the actor playing Michael Jordans in the boardroom when
• 36:34
  Speaker 7: he's like, you know, you have to sign with us
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: because you're special and they're gonna build you up and
• 36:40
  Speaker 7: then and then they're gonna tear you down. I'm paraphrasing here,
• 36:44
  Speaker 7: but I mean it is what we do in the world.
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: We build people up, I think specifically to tear them
• 36:50
  Speaker 7: down because we get some gratification from saying Bill Belichick
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: is is not all that, and and you know, I
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: think we should just stop maybe saying that these you know,
• 37:00
  Speaker 7: coaches are all that in a bag of chips, and
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: and maybe maybe we do better for it.
• 37:06

  Speaker 6: Swing? But the one in Virginia looks like an eye?
• 37:33
  Speaker 6: And the license plates that I swing.

  Speaker 8: after I had the plate pulls up next to me.
• 37:39
  Speaker 8: She goes, we're at the Double Tree every Friday.

• 44:47
  Speaker 7: broadcast from.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: How are you doing this morning?
• 44:49
  Speaker 31: Sir, doing Chris gorgeous day, and I appreciate you having
• 44:53
  Speaker 31: me on.
• 44:54
  Speaker 7: I wrote a piece for the Daily Signal about Barack
• 44:58
  Speaker 7: Obama coming to virgin You to campaign for Abigail Spanburger.
• 45:02
  Speaker 7: And you know, part of it is, you know, by
• 45:05
  Speaker 7: pointing out that the polls must be a lot closer,
• 45:07
  Speaker 7: if not flipped from what they're telling the public, if
• 45:10
  Speaker 7: you're you know, pulling in the closer on November first.
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: But I also said there's a lot of money out
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: there that if if four more years of conservative leadership
• 45:21
  Speaker 7: at the governor's mansion plus a conservative led House of
• 45:26
  Speaker 7: Delegates is going to cost a lot of people a
• 45:29
  Speaker 7: lot of subsidiation money, Like the line from Batman, a
• 45:33
  Speaker 7: lot of people's wallets are going to get a lot
• 45:35
  Speaker 7: lighter in the energy world. I mean, we're talking billions
• 45:39
  Speaker 7: of dollars in subsidies that could be used for a
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: whole lot more effective things in Virginia if the governors win.
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: Some seers.
• 45:50
  Speaker 31: You one hundred percent right, and you're not exaggerating. And
• 45:53
  Speaker 31: actually those subsidies started last month in September. What some
• 45:58
  Speaker 31: people didn't realize is they're electrical just went up last
• 46:00
  Speaker 31: September because of the Virginia Clan Economy Act that the
• 46:04
  Speaker 31: Democrats passed in twenty twenty, which has now started to
• 46:07
  Speaker 31: force our utilities like Dominion to buy renewable energy treages
• 46:11
  Speaker 31: just digital certificates of clean electricity and sometimes other states.
• 46:16
  Speaker 31: And that purchased is five point five billion dollars over
• 46:19
  Speaker 31: the next ten years, all of which will go on
• 46:21
  Speaker 31: their bills.
• 46:23
  Speaker 7: And it isn't and Dominion will say, why we have
• 46:26
  Speaker 7: to do it. It's the law. Laws get changed, and
• 46:28
  Speaker 7: this was a law. This was I call it our
• 46:31
  Speaker 7: mutual suicide pack with California, where where we just said, listen,
• 46:36
  Speaker 7: we'll have no more internal combustion vehicles, all this crazy stuff, Glenn.
• 46:41
  Speaker 7: I mean, they can't make solar energy work in the
• 46:43
  Speaker 7: Mojave Desert. How are we supposed to make it work?
• 46:46
  Speaker 7: You know in Chesterfield County, Virginia.
• 46:49
  Speaker 31: I call it a hold my beer moment. You know,
• 46:52
  Speaker 31: in twenty twenty, the Democrats saw what California was doing,
• 46:55
  Speaker 31: a said hold my beer, and they wrote this legislation
• 46:58
  Speaker 31: with no modeling. I mean literally, in the beginning of
• 47:00
  Speaker 31: a legislative session. For sixty days they wrote it. They
• 47:03
  Speaker 31: admitted it a number of times, and they passed it
• 47:05
  Speaker 31: with two thousand of the bills all during sixty days.
• 47:08
  Speaker 31: Never modeled, it, never did any due diligence on it.
• 47:11
  Speaker 31: And right now it's it's it's really hindering our ability
• 47:14
  Speaker 31: to continue with economic growth, jobs, and to be honest
• 47:17
  Speaker 31: with you, even keep the lights on it four or
• 47:19
  Speaker 31: five years.
• 47:20
  Speaker 7: Well, and that's it is threats of rolling brownouts and
• 47:23
  Speaker 7: things like that, and it's it's truly in the Virginia
• 47:26
  Speaker 7: Clean Economy Act is legislative virtue signaling. It's just we
• 47:31
  Speaker 7: want these things because the cool kids all say we
• 47:34
  Speaker 7: should have them, but it doesn't help the Virginia rate payers.
• 47:37
  Speaker 7: And meanwhile we struggle with the legislature to get nuclear.
• 47:42
  Speaker 7: The governors, all of the above talk about the also
• 47:47
  Speaker 7: the message that four more years of conservative leadership would
• 47:51
  Speaker 7: tell these people who have dragged their heels on all
• 47:54
  Speaker 7: this stuff, figuring Ah will run out the clock and
• 47:58
  Speaker 7: Glenn Youngle be gone by twenty twenty six and we
• 48:02
  Speaker 7: won't have to do what he says anymore. You know
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: that changes if wins some earl series wins the governor's race, correct.
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: It does.
• 48:11
  Speaker 31: I mean, I will tell you when's the governor's race
• 48:14
  Speaker 31: and we get the House of Delegates, that five point
• 48:16
  Speaker 31: five billion dollars over ten years will probably go away overnight.
• 48:20
  Speaker 31: We won't have the Senate, but we can probably work
• 48:22
  Speaker 31: something to force that conservative agenda through and that five
• 48:26
  Speaker 31: point five billion dollars literally will go away by February
• 48:30
  Speaker 31: of next year and save repairers that five point five billion. Additionally,
• 48:34
  Speaker 31: I mean right now, the Democrats, through the Virginia Clean
• 48:38
  Speaker 31: Economy Act, are forcing all natural gas power generation to come.
• 48:42
  Speaker 6: To a halt and ban it in twenty forty five.
• 48:45
  Speaker 31: In Dominion Territory, fifty five percent of all of our
• 48:48
  Speaker 31: energy today is by natural gas, Joe, and they.
• 48:51
  Speaker 5: Want to get rid of all of it.
• 48:53
  Speaker 6: I mean, what signal is.
• 48:54
  Speaker 31: That sending two large businesses that are trying to get
• 48:57
  Speaker 31: to come here telling them that we're going to kill
• 48:59
  Speaker 31: fifty five per set of all of our power supply
• 49:01
  Speaker 31: because of this thought that we can operate on solely
• 49:03
  Speaker 31: you know, solar, you know by twenty forty five, which
• 49:07
  Speaker 31: you know, as you and I.
• 49:07
  Speaker 6: Know both know.
• 49:08
  Speaker 9: You know, the sun does go down during parts.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: Of the day.
• 49:11
  Speaker 7: Yeah, you can stick your solar panel awhere. The sun
• 49:14
  Speaker 7: don't shine, as they used to say in my neighborhood,
• 49:17
  Speaker 7: Glenn Davis on with this energy secretary. But so many
• 49:20
  Speaker 7: places are doing this and it's killing their economies. Their
• 49:25
  Speaker 7: businesses are struggling to and it's killing jobs. Because if
• 49:30
  Speaker 7: I run a business and my electric bill goes up,
• 49:33
  Speaker 7: I gotta have to find the money somewhere, which generally
• 49:36
  Speaker 7: means all my employees have to work that much harder
• 49:39
  Speaker 7: because I'll have to let at least one of them go.
• 49:42
  Speaker 31: Yeah, no, one hundred percent, right, I mean, And we
• 49:45
  Speaker 31: see this driving up the cost of energy for businesses.
• 49:48
  Speaker 31: It's a simple supply and demand scenario, you know. As
• 49:51
  Speaker 31: as the supply goes down, and I don't mean supply
• 49:54
  Speaker 31: of just any electrons, because during the day, you know,
• 49:56
  Speaker 31: you got your electrons, but as the ones in the
• 49:59
  Speaker 31: evening hours, when you know is peak hours for actually
• 50:02
  Speaker 31: using electricity it's four to eight pm, you know you've
• 50:05
  Speaker 31: got less supply because you're getting rid of stuff. You're
• 50:07
  Speaker 31: gonna see the prices continue to go up. On top
• 50:10
  Speaker 31: of you know that five point five billion dollars of
• 50:12
  Speaker 31: Democrats just throw on everyone's electric bills starting last month.
• 50:15
  Speaker 7: Well, what about these solar farms that you know, so
• 50:18
  Speaker 7: many counties are just allowing farmers to you know, sell
• 50:22
  Speaker 7: off to solar panel arrays. These solar panels they're only
• 50:26
  Speaker 7: going to last twenty five years with heaven knows, I've
• 50:29
  Speaker 7: heard horror stories of stuff. You know, they get cracked
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: in hailstorms and then they seep something into the ground.
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: We don't know.
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: Nobody's bothered to test that out, Glenn. Is there a
• 50:39
  Speaker 7: way to put that genie back into the bottle and
• 50:42
  Speaker 7: reclaim some of this land?
• 50:45
  Speaker 31: You know, that's a tough one, honestly, because there's there's
• 50:47
  Speaker 31: two things in play. One is some localities do have
• 50:51
  Speaker 31: zoning series that prevent that from happening. But on the
• 50:54
  Speaker 31: flip side, you do have you know, personal property rights, right,
• 50:58
  Speaker 31: you know.
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: Start some farmers, sure.
• 50:59
  Speaker 31: Yeah, their kids are not one of the from the
• 51:02
  Speaker 31: land and so they're doing that.
• 51:03
  Speaker 6: So it really is a balance.
• 51:04
  Speaker 31: Between the localities, Zonian rights and the rights of the farmers.
• 51:09
  Speaker 31: And it's going to be a big issue. But I'll
• 51:10
  Speaker 31: tell you if you if you want to, you know
• 51:12
  Speaker 31: how big of an issue this is. In the Virginia
• 51:14
  Speaker 31: Clear Economy Act that the Democrats passed, and they didn't
• 51:17
  Speaker 31: do any analysis. They required that Virginia build our utilities,
• 51:22
  Speaker 31: build enough solar power that it would take land equal
• 51:25
  Speaker 31: to three times the size of Washington d C. That's
• 51:29
  Speaker 31: how much plained we have to set aside for solar
• 51:32
  Speaker 31: when the solar development in Virginia to meet that requirement.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: Glenn Davis on with us. You know, that's that's amazing
• 51:39
  Speaker 7: to me that you know when you put it into
• 51:41
  Speaker 7: that perspective. So, you know, can we get the small
• 51:45
  Speaker 7: modular nuclear reactors going the all of the above stuff.
• 51:49
  Speaker 7: I'm fascinated by this. Catch us up on where that is?
• 51:53
  Speaker 31: Sure? So the governor in twenty twenty two wrote out
• 51:56
  Speaker 31: as all americanality above energy plan, including the nuclear moonshot
• 52:00
  Speaker 31: that he announced Virginia. He wants Virginia to be first
• 52:04
  Speaker 31: with an SMR in the nation. That small modular reactor,
• 52:07
  Speaker 31: Virginia's first character should come online hopefully between twenty thirty
• 52:12
  Speaker 31: and twenty thirty two.
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: You've probably heard.
• 52:14
  Speaker 31: The first announcement about a year ago Joe where Dominion
• 52:18
  Speaker 31: said they're looking at putting one out in North Anna
• 52:20
  Speaker 31: where they have two traditional reactors. Today AEP announced that
• 52:25
  Speaker 31: they're looking at a site called Joshua Falls near Lynchburg.
• 52:29
  Speaker 31: Hopefully we will hear final announcements on technology and timing
• 52:34
  Speaker 31: sometime in.
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: The next before the governor leaves office.
• 52:36
  Speaker 31: So Virginia is definitely leading the way and we hope
• 52:40
  Speaker 31: to have these things up in the early twenty thirties.
• 52:42
  Speaker 7: Glenn Davis, Energy Secretary, common author of Virginia with us
• 52:46
  Speaker 7: Joe Thomas First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network.
• 52:51
  Speaker 19: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 19: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 19: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
• 53:01
  Speaker 19: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  Speaker 19: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 19: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 19: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:16
  Speaker 19: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:20
  Speaker 19: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 19: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 19: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 19: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 19: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 19: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your
• 53:38
  Speaker 19: home and doctor. Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful
• 53:41
