Speaker 3: Morning dot com, make sure you get on there and
2:41
Speaker 3: get entered and want to see the folks in Elmont,
2:44
Speaker 3: you know, and we used to back when I was
2:47
Speaker 3: growing up there, we used to call that queens. Nobody
2:50
Speaker 3: wants to call it queens anymore. I mean I would
2:52
Speaker 3: associate it with New York City, and that would associate
2:56
Speaker 3: it with zorhand mad money, and can't do that. Our
3:01
Speaker 3: first things this morning, the news that we're covering, so
3:04
Speaker 3: that we can discuss it. I mean, let's face it,
3:08
Speaker 3: you got to go in loaded for bear. Federal Aviation
3:13
Speaker 3: Administration issued an operations advisory warning for this weekend for
3:17
Speaker 3: staffing triggers. More blue flu hitting the air traffic control towers,
3:22
Speaker 3: blamed on the government partial shutdown. The air traffic controllers
3:26
Speaker 3: are considered essential workers, but their payroll clerks are not.
3:31
Speaker 3: Secretary of State Marco Rubio took aim at the Miami
3:35
Speaker 3: Herald with accusations on social media of a fake story
3:39
Speaker 3: that they published about pending US military strikes on Venzuela.
3:44
Speaker 3: Your sources, the Secretary of State said, claiming to have
3:48
Speaker 3: knowledge of the situation, tricked you into writing a fake story.
3:53
Speaker 3: The US Secret Service and coordination with San Antonio's police department,
3:58
Speaker 3: have dismantled a network of illegal payments skimming machines that
4:03
Speaker 3: were on the verge of stealing seventeen point seven million
4:07
Speaker 3: dollars from consumers. The Virginia Senator approved a constitutional amendment Friday.
4:14
Speaker 3: It'll allow lawmakers to redraw congressional maps. However, a suit
4:20
Speaker 3: was filed by three county clerks from Henraikos, Pennsylvania, and
4:25
Speaker 3: Lunenburg Counties seeking to avoid the bill on the grounds
4:28
Speaker 3: that the General Assembly session was not legally called. Daylight
4:33
Speaker 3: savings time ends at two Sunday morning. You need to
4:37
Speaker 3: switch your clocks back or trust that your smart devices
4:41
Speaker 3: will do it for themselves. Fire departments say, though your
4:45
Speaker 3: smart meters will not change the batteries and your smoke
4:48
Speaker 3: alarms and carbon monoxide detectors, so they say you should
4:52
Speaker 3: still do that yourself. Federal judge has ruled the Trump
4:57
Speaker 3: administration cannot enforce an executive order requiring documented proof of
5:02
Speaker 3: US citizenship on federal voter registration forms, a decision the
5:07
Speaker 3: administration says is lawful. Judge Colleen Kohler Kotelli disagrees, and
5:13
Speaker 3: in her ruling, she writes, the first question presented in
5:17
Speaker 3: these consolidated cases is whether the President, acting unilaterally, may
5:22
Speaker 3: direct changes to federal election procedures. The White House announced
5:28
Speaker 3: Friday that journalists would no longer be authorized to freely
5:31
Speaker 3: wander the areas of the West Wing that are home
5:34
Speaker 3: offices for various senior communications officials, including Caroline Leavitt. She
5:41
Speaker 3: says the memorandum comes from the National Security Council saying
5:45
Speaker 3: that journalists will be prohibited from accessing Room forty one
5:50
Speaker 3: forty known as Upper Press anymore. And those are some
5:54
Speaker 3: of our first things on this Saturday morning here on
5:57

Speaker 11: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
8:13
Speaker 11: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:50
Speaker 11: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

9:58
Speaker 13: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy growing
10:01
Speaker 13: up on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
10:04
Speaker 13: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
10:06
Speaker 13: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
10:08
Speaker 13: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
10:12
Speaker 13: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
10:15
Speaker 13: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
10:17
Speaker 13: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
10:21
Speaker 13: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
10:23
Speaker 13: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
10:25
Speaker 13: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
10:29
Speaker 13: at home, but because of their acute senses. They also
10:32
Speaker 13: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
10:35
Speaker 13: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
10:38
Speaker 13: from PTSS.
10:39
Speaker 3: They work with.
10:39
Speaker 13: Diabetics, alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
10:43
Speaker 13: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
10:45
Speaker 13: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
10:48
Speaker 13: join me an American Humane and supporting our heroic working
10:51
Speaker 13: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
10:54
Speaker 13: inhabit together.

Speaker 14: Bru that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 15: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 5: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
Speaker 5: art and brain.
11:12
Speaker 4: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 6: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
11:15
Speaker 6: brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody
11:18
Speaker 6: call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 16: Love that guy, me too, know.
11:21
Speaker 17: Your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when it's
11:24
Speaker 17: time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:28
Speaker 8: Did you know that more than half our household energy
11:31
Speaker 8: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
11:35
Speaker 8: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
Speaker 8: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
Speaker 8: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
11:46

Speaker 8: leaks around windows and doors, check ducks for holes, and
11:56
Speaker 8: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy costs is
12:00
Speaker 8: when you shop for a new appliance. Look for the
12:02
Speaker 8: energy Star logo and read the energy guide label, and

Speaker 8: there are day to day things you can do. Lower
12:09
Speaker 8: your thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer,

Speaker 18: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
Speaker 18: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
Speaker 18: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40
Speaker 18: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern,
12:43

12:52

13:11
Speaker 1: Quit on a need to know basis, because you need
13:15
Speaker 1: to know the first thing today.
13:25
Speaker 3: Okay, I didn't expect that finger, but okay, I appreciate it.
13:29
Speaker 3: You must be that missing Long Island cuckoo that they're
13:32
Speaker 3: all running around looking for. Four three four eight A
13:35
Speaker 3: two four two one seven. Have you seen the Long
13:37
Speaker 3: Island cuckoo?
13:39
Speaker 19: Oh?
13:40
Speaker 3: And I you know, this is one of them things
13:42
Speaker 3: that could just open yourselves up. I saw she was
13:47
Speaker 3: running down the.
13:49
Speaker 20: I saw in Franklin Square the other day, and she
13:52
Speaker 20: was hollering at this poor guy who was just trying to.
13:55
Speaker 3: Serve her a tea. So he just distracts. The news
14:05
Speaker 3: is right now dominated by reactions and suppositions to the
14:13
Speaker 3: idea of the filibuster and what are we all going
14:18
Speaker 3: to do about the filibuster? President Trump trolls the press
14:27
Speaker 3: by saying, you need to get rid of the filibusters
14:30
Speaker 3: so that we can get the government reopened. But that's
14:33
Speaker 3: exactly what the left wants. So the left over the
14:37
Speaker 3: last ten to fifteen years have been adding all of
14:40
Speaker 3: these different parliamentary procedures into how the House operates and
14:47
Speaker 3: the Senate operates to create a scenario where ostensibly everything
14:54
Speaker 3: has to get sixty votes, and that was never the intent.
14:57
Speaker 3: The sixty vote threshold was meant for specifically important things
15:04
Speaker 3: like treaties. For example, if the US government ever had
15:11
Speaker 3: the intestical fortitude to actually join the Paris Climate Accord,
15:15
Speaker 3: it would, if it had ever been brought to the
15:18
Speaker 3: Senate for a vote, require a sixty vote majority. There
15:23
Speaker 3: you have it. By the way, did you notice, just
15:27
Speaker 3: with the storms this past week, New York State issued
15:31
Speaker 3: reports saying.
15:32
Speaker 20: Long Island's going to be devastated. Look at what And
15:36
Speaker 20: the best part about the story about the Long Island being.
15:40
Speaker 3: Devastated by climate change is they're using pictures of Cuba,
15:46
Speaker 3: and I know there are some really blue parts of
15:48
Speaker 3: Long Island, but you ain't qb yet the devastations. They're
15:52
Speaker 3: pulling pictures from Hurricane Melissa and her devastation of Jamaica,
15:58
Speaker 3: not the one in Queens and Cuba to say this
16:06
Speaker 3: could be coming to Long Island. Vote for Democrats, as
16:10
Speaker 3: if they're going to lay down like sandbags and a dyke.
16:18
Speaker 3: But that's what their Their premise is is that you
16:26
Speaker 3: need more government, and the filibuster is just the most
16:30
Speaker 3: recent sufferer of this gas lighting. So they over the
16:37
Speaker 3: last ten to fifteen years, Harry Reid and all the
16:40
Speaker 3: folks in the Senate have been putting in little things
16:42
Speaker 3: and they always seem they always seem so innocuous. Well,
16:46
Speaker 3: we just need to do this thing and insert a
16:49
Speaker 3: different thing for each time, and then eventually you wind
16:52
Speaker 3: up where every bill has to get sixty votes. Why
16:57
Speaker 3: because this parliamentary procedure that we allowed to be passed
17:01
Speaker 3: fifteen years ago, because Obama allows us now requires us
17:10
Speaker 3: in some cases to get sixty votes. Everything is permanently
17:15
Speaker 3: in debate. Sixty votes. Pardon me so passionate about it.
17:20
Speaker 3: Joseph knocked the studio around sixty votes. Was there to
17:25
Speaker 3: end debate on something, so it cloture means, although I
17:31
Speaker 3: know it sounds like you need ointment for it, I
17:33
Speaker 3: need ointment for my cloture. But cloture was designed to
17:40
Speaker 3: end debate on something, especially if it was getting particularly overwhelmed.
17:45
Speaker 3: With filibuster, which was the way in which a member
17:53
Speaker 3: of the non majority party could get a say and
17:58
Speaker 3: possibly hold up, possibly draw attention to bad legislation. That's
18:04
Speaker 3: all it was. So somewhere in between, mister Smith goes
18:08
Speaker 3: to Washington and House of Cards, we start dropping these
18:13
Speaker 3: little things. Oh well, you know what we should really
18:16
Speaker 3: make it, you know, like a permanent filibuster. So you
18:20
Speaker 3: have to even to bring something to the floor. You
18:22
Speaker 3: have to have and they do it in ways you
18:25
Speaker 3: don't even notice it until now you're here saying the
18:28
Speaker 3: filibuster itself needs to go away, which was what they
18:32
Speaker 3: wanted all along. Don't give them what they want, because
18:39
Speaker 3: if you get rid of the filibuster, Chuck Schumer and
18:43
Speaker 3: Hakeeen jeffries Win, you have to understand that, just like
18:48
Speaker 3: with these redistricting battles, if you give in and say
18:52
Speaker 3: we'll fix it later, I enter for the plaintiff, your honor.
18:59
Speaker 3: The Affordable Care Act. Yeah, and that's reared its ugly
19:04
Speaker 3: head and all this because we apparently must have to
19:07
Speaker 3: subsidize those who have taken the Affordable Care Act. Why
19:19
Speaker 3: was that? Because I thought the Affordable Care Act simply was, Oh,
19:23
Speaker 3: that's right, because we forced the insurance companies to give
19:27
Speaker 3: insurance to all these people. They didn't want to, but
19:33
Speaker 3: they certainly didn't mind the rate paying. Oh you're gonna
19:38
Speaker 3: give us a whole bunch of new customers. Okay, well,
19:40
Speaker 3: we can sell the database, we can sell pharmaceuticals to them,
19:45
Speaker 3: and we don't have to give them care because we'll
19:47
Speaker 3: give them a high copay because they're in a Basically,
19:51
Speaker 3: what in New York is tell me is New York
19:53
Speaker 3: still do assigned risk for young drivers. It's been years
19:57
Speaker 3: since I've driven in New York. But when I got
19:59
Speaker 3: my driver's license in that other Jamaica Queens, I had
20:04
Speaker 3: to go across the street and across the street where
20:06
Speaker 3: all those assigned risk insurance brokers. You go in there,
20:10
Speaker 3: and it's musty carpet smells and cigarette and coffee, burnt coffee,
20:17
Speaker 3: the smell of all of those insurance brokers along the
20:20
Speaker 3: Jamaica Avenue across from the DMV For all of us
20:24
Speaker 3: sixteen and seventeen year old New Yorkers with our freshly
20:28
Speaker 3: printed driver's licenses, and we had to have insurance because
20:31
Speaker 3: the state mandated the insurance. And this is you weren't
20:35
Speaker 3: listening to me on Long Island news radio back at
20:38
Speaker 3: the time. But when Obamacare was first presented, even before
20:45
Speaker 3: we voted for it, so we could read it as
20:47
Speaker 3: it was presented and explained to me, I said, oh,
20:50
Speaker 3: that's just like New York State and the Assigned Risk
20:53
Speaker 3: program for drivers. What do you mean, because insurance companies
20:58
Speaker 3: in order to operate New York had to provide insurance
21:03
Speaker 3: for drivers who who knows what they know about driving,
21:06
Speaker 3: they're sixteen flipping years old. And so the quid for
21:12
Speaker 3: the pro quo was the insurance companies got to have
21:15

28:15
Speaker 12: nine most terrifying words in the English language.
28:18
Speaker 1: Are first Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk
28:22
Speaker 1: Media Network.
28:22
Speaker 4: I'm from the government, and I'm here.
28:24
Speaker 3: To thank you for clarifying that.
28:27
Speaker 9: Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, the.
28:35
Speaker 3: Echo chamber works.
28:39
Speaker 2: Yes yes, yes, yes.
28:52
Speaker 3: So we discovered the echo chamber at work yesterday. Congresswoman
28:58
Speaker 3: Mastow and Okahontas both caught in the hallways, and maybe
29:06
Speaker 3: Focahontas can be given a hall pass for it because
29:09
Speaker 3: she didn't realize what was going to happen to her
29:14
Speaker 3: as she was walking along the hallways.
29:17
Speaker 10: Donald Trump is.
29:18
Speaker 1: Out flying around the world.
29:19
Speaker 19: The Republicans here in Center won't do a damn thing
29:22
Speaker 19: without Donald Trump telling him too. And the one person
29:25
Speaker 19: that needs to be at the table is not is
29:27
Speaker 19: Donald Trump, because Speaker Johnson and Leader Thun will not
29:32
Speaker 19: do one thing unless he says and tells them.
29:34
Speaker 26: What to do.
29:35
Speaker 3: Funny how two separate people doing two separate things in
29:39
Speaker 3: separate buildings all had the exact same thing to say.
29:43
Speaker 3: That wouldn't have been focused grouped, would it. That wouldn't
29:46
Speaker 3: have come through some sort of you know, memo from
29:50
Speaker 3: anywhere They wouldn't use the phrase talking points. Certainly, no, no, Joe,
29:56
Speaker 3: come on, please, that's hearsay. But they see how this
30:00
Speaker 3: government shutdown has allowed all of this to go on,
30:05
Speaker 3: and they're getting people on the right to say, you
30:09
Speaker 3: know what, just score, get the thing open.
30:12
Speaker 4: I don't want to stop.
30:12
Speaker 3: Hearing about it. Seems like the government's open to me.
30:20
Speaker 3: If the states can find a way, says the guy
30:24
Speaker 3: inside the radio. If the states, most of the states
30:27
Speaker 3: I know best, Virginia, East Virginia, all of the Virginia's
30:32
Speaker 3: and many other states have found monies in their budgets
30:39
Speaker 3: to fund snap benefits that have gone piffed in the night.
30:44
Speaker 3: Just like that hour of sleep that you're going to get,
30:48
Speaker 3: you lose, your Snap benefits will give you an hour sleep.
30:51
Speaker 3: How about that? The equation for your weekend? Not bad
30:55
Speaker 3: for the first weekend in November with an election bearing
30:58
Speaker 3: down on so many folks in America. That here here
31:03
Speaker 3: in lies the biggest issue. The states could easily, I believe,
31:12
Speaker 3: find a way to pay their air traffic controllers in
31:14
Speaker 3: their states. Why not they found snap benefit money in
31:19
Speaker 3: the states moving out of some program which is a
31:23
Speaker 3: which is a more important social program landing airplanes at
31:27
Speaker 3: your state's airports. I mean, never mind, you know, whether
31:32
Speaker 3: American and United. You tell me somebody told me like
31:38
Speaker 3: months and months and months ago that the airlines all
31:42
Speaker 3: pay pretty good money to land. It's that these airports
31:48
Speaker 3: there's fees and so on and so forth. That's what
31:51
Speaker 3: It's why some of these smaller airports they don't get
31:54
Speaker 3: that kind of money because they you know, flying out
31:58
Speaker 3: of Verona, Virginia it's Shenandoah Valley International Airport or Lynchburg
32:09
Speaker 3: is you know, Jerry Folwell International Airport isn't nearly as
32:13
Speaker 3: lucrative as flying out of LaGuardia. But I understand that
32:17
Speaker 3: to get fly out of Midway and O'Hara and all
32:21
Speaker 3: of those places that you pay a pretty good few,
32:24
Speaker 3: why not get the money to pay the air traffic
32:26
Speaker 3: controllers out of that? You would think that that would
32:29
Speaker 3: be part of why an airline would pay for access
32:32
Speaker 3: to an airport, would be to land safely and have
32:39
Speaker 3: pretty good staff there. But all of this, you know, Oh,
32:43
Speaker 3: the FAA is warning you about Halloween travel and boogie
32:47
Speaker 3: boogie boogieyman, boogeyman. Who's got the boogeyman? Be careful where
32:56
Speaker 3: it's hurting you. It's hurting you into a place where
33:00
Speaker 3: we're going to give in to what Thomas Jefferson understood
33:05
Speaker 3: when he wrote the Declaration of Independence and wrote, Prudence
33:09
Speaker 3: indeed will dictate that governments long established should not be
33:13
Speaker 3: changed for light and transient causes. And all experience hath
33:17
Speaker 3: shown that mankind are more disposed to suffer while evils
33:23
Speaker 3: are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms
33:28
Speaker 3: to which they're accustomed. There's plenty wrong in it, and
33:32
Speaker 3: I bring that up as I segue into a conversation
33:35
Speaker 3: I had with doctor Kevin Roberts, who may very well
33:38
Speaker 3: be one of the best conservative minds since Russell Kirk
33:43
Speaker 3: walked this earth from the Texas Public Policy Foundation, he's
33:47
Speaker 3: now president of the Heritage Foundation. And I asked him
33:50
Speaker 3: about that thing that I always talk about, which is
33:53
Speaker 3: getting rid of the nineteen twenty nine Permanent Apportionment Acts.
34:00
Speaker 3: I have floated a theory on what's going on in
34:04
Speaker 3: the I mentioned earlier, the Permanent Reapportionment Act, And if
34:09
Speaker 3: you go back to nineteen thirty, which was the census
34:12
Speaker 3: right after it was enacted, and you say Okay, the
34:17
Speaker 3: population was one hundred and twenty two million, then it's
34:19
Speaker 3: three hundred and forty million now. So even if you
34:22
Speaker 3: go back to that number, we would have three to
34:25
Speaker 3: almost three times as many congress people as we did then.
34:30
Speaker 3: The original draft of the Bill of Rights, the very
34:33
Speaker 3: first thing that George Mason thought would be the most
34:36
Speaker 3: important thing to protect Americans from an out of control
34:39
Speaker 3: central government was congressional districts that didn't exceed fifty thousand people,
34:44
Speaker 3: which I know would mean six four hundred people in Congress.
34:48
Speaker 3: But I think that you would have a country that
34:51
Speaker 3: certainly wouldn't fall prey to this redistricting mania where we're
34:55
Speaker 3: watching people gerrymander districts in a fifty three forty seven
35:01
Speaker 3: state like Virginia into ten to one Democrat congress people.
35:08
Speaker 3: Does that make any sense whatsoever? Or am I just
35:11
Speaker 3: a talk show host who may have had won too
35:13
Speaker 3: many cups of coffee?
35:15
Speaker 4: No, you make one hundred percent sense, which is no
35:18
Speaker 4: surprise to me, Joe.
35:19
Speaker 26: In fact, my Heritage colleague Hans von Spaccatti, who is
35:22
Speaker 26: one of the foremost election law experts, says that he's
35:27
Speaker 26: observed for years that your thesis is exactly correct. Let's
35:31
Speaker 26: just posit that what the country decided to do with
35:35
Speaker 26: the Voting Rights Act in the mid nineteen sixties was
35:38
Speaker 26: in fair and important to correct what was indeed racial injustice.
35:43
Speaker 26: The time has come context for your question. The time
35:47
Speaker 26: has come to realize, as the Supreme Court is considering now,
35:50
Speaker 26: that that served its purpose, but even worse, to the
35:53
Speaker 26: heart of your question, that law and others, particularly state
35:57
Speaker 26: laws and blue states, are being used as a cudgel
36:00
Speaker 26: by the radical left to accrue more political power illegitimately.
36:05
Speaker 26: And so the good news, the silver lining and it's
36:08
Speaker 26: really legitimate.
36:09
Speaker 27: And all of that is that I think the Supreme
36:12
Speaker 27: Court is likely to at least partially overturn the Voting
36:16
Speaker 27: Rights Act soon, and then that gives us the opportunity
36:19
Speaker 27: on the political right not to do to the last
36:22
Speaker 27: what they have done to us, but instead to the
36:25
Speaker 27: great aspiration in your question, to actually do the will
36:28
Speaker 27: of the people in every state to be fair.
36:31
Speaker 3: And that's one of the things that's going to be
36:33
Speaker 3: very hard, because we're now in a place where conservatives
36:36
Speaker 3: are feeling reparational want there are conservative reparations to be debated,
36:45
Speaker 3: and I think we need to just get back to
36:47
Speaker 3: where we were instead of being punitive. But look up
36:52
Speaker 3: that nineteen twenty nine Permanent Reapportionment Act and look at
36:57
Speaker 3: the racial undertones that were allowed to happen be Uz
37:00
Speaker 3: filibuster because the Northern Senators didn't want to be seen
37:04
Speaker 3: as silencing the voice of the Dixiecrats now welcomed back
37:08
Speaker 3: into the family. And these Dixiecrats were different than the
37:12
Speaker 3: ones that started the Civil War, or at least started
37:16
Speaker 3: the cessation portion of it, because these Dixiecrats had all
37:20
Speaker 3: of a sudden seen the big bag of other people's
37:23
Speaker 3: money that was coming in to reconstructify their districts and
37:27
Speaker 3: their states, and they would get up there and talk
37:31
Speaker 3: about and then they were all their sponsors and all
37:35
Speaker 3: of their donors were afraid that this newly freed black
37:39
Speaker 3: community was growing too prosperous and too large families, and
37:44
Speaker 3: they were going to outgrow, and we need to cap
37:46
Speaker 3: the size of the House of Representatives otherwise we're going
37:49
Speaker 3: to have all these minorities in the Congress. It's what
37:52
Speaker 3: the root of this thing was. It was the most abject,
37:56
Speaker 3: horrific racism, and it's got to go.

44:56
Speaker 3: And the best part about the lunatic fringe now is
44:58
Speaker 3: they're they're not in height and holding their meetings. They're
45:01
Speaker 3: holding their meetings out in front of us, all because
45:04
Speaker 3: they believe that we won't engage when they're talking about
45:09
Speaker 3: helping people. When one of the things I hope anyway,
45:15
Speaker 3: Donald Trump has taught us. Is that engaging wins. You

45:32
Speaker 3: been on the school board for eight years now and
45:35
Speaker 3: my kids' grades, the grades scores, and the schools have
45:39
Speaker 3: gone down every year. We're at a historic law. Why
45:41
Speaker 3: do you want to get reelected? Well, this time is
45:44
Speaker 3: going to be I say, look at me when I'm
45:47
Speaker 3: talking to you and the blovic and they'll talk about
45:50
Speaker 3: triggered populations, and it's all to dodds. The fact that
45:57
Speaker 3: there are simple things that these folks are to do
46:00
Speaker 3: within their offices, and all the law fair that I
46:06
Speaker 3: describe metaphorically as a black hole of law. They keep
46:13
Speaker 3: piling new laws. Every time something happens, they write a
46:16
Speaker 3: law and they pile it on until there's such gravity
46:20
Speaker 3: in this pile of law that that's created a singularity,
46:25
Speaker 3: and justice itself cannot escape this black hole of law.
46:30
Speaker 3: This text message comes into four three four eight eight
46:33
Speaker 3: two four two one seven. Tony says, can you explain
46:38
Speaker 3: the Virginia suit. I'm not hearing it anywhere else, but
46:41
Speaker 3: you keep reporting that there is a suit filed by
46:44
Speaker 3: these clerks of the court. What does it say. What
46:47
Speaker 3: are they posing as their argument? Well, it's two part argument.
46:51
Speaker 3: First off, they've asked the court for a permanent injunction
46:56
Speaker 3: on the process of redistrict because they lay out in
47:04
Speaker 3: very clear methodical order that the Virginia General Assembly cannot
47:09
Speaker 3: call itself to a special session. Their argument is that
47:13
Speaker 3: because Governor Youngkin called a special session, and the governor
47:17
Speaker 3: is the only one allowed to call for a special session,
47:22
Speaker 3: that they never finished that special session in twenty twenty four,
47:28
Speaker 3: so they can.
47:30
Speaker 20: Just hey, we're still in session, so let's all get
47:32
Speaker 20: back together and do some other stuff.
47:34
Speaker 3: And by the way, the law that says the governor
47:38
Speaker 3: can call a special session says he must specify what
47:42
Speaker 3: that special session is for. So even if they are
47:46
Speaker 3: saying that twenty twenty four General Assembly session is still active,
47:51
Speaker 3: there was nothing in there about redistricting amendments. So those
47:56
Speaker 3: two things. But they're also pleading, and i'll read to
48:02
Speaker 3: you from the filing at the risk of sounding like
48:04
Speaker 3: the paint drying channel, if the defendants are permitted to
48:08
Speaker 3: continue moving forward with their ultra vires acts, the redistricting plaintiffs,
48:14
Speaker 3: as well as other clerks of the Circuit Courts of
48:17
Speaker 3: Virginia will be placed in an impossible position. If they
48:21
Speaker 3: post a copy of the proposed amendment on the doors
48:24
Speaker 3: of their respective courthouses, as required by Virginia Code, they
48:28
Speaker 3: will have done so at best four days prior to
48:32
Speaker 3: the November fourth election day. This filing was written yesterday,
48:36
Speaker 3: so presuming that they were forced to do it today,
48:40
Speaker 3: thereby would be in violation of the statutory requirements to
48:44
Speaker 3: have made such a posting at least three months prior
48:47
Speaker 3: to the election. It's obviously too late for the clerks
48:51
Speaker 3: to perform the required posting prior to the commencement of
48:55
Speaker 3: early voting, as that began several weeks ago. The only
49:00
Speaker 3: available option would be for the clerks to ignore the
49:03
Speaker 3: law entirely and make no posting whatsoever, which again would
49:08
Speaker 3: place them in violation of the law. So their relief
49:12
Speaker 3: they're seeking is because the General Assembly is trying to
49:15
Speaker 3: force the county Clerks of Court to violate the law,
49:20
Speaker 3: and you cannot be, by legislation or other means, forced
49:25
Speaker 3: to violate the law. This email comes in from Dean
49:30
Speaker 3: said it's brilliant, But I feel bad because isn't this
49:33
Speaker 3: what democrats do? Isn't this what they've done time and
49:37
Speaker 3: time again to Donald Trump? I like it and I
49:40
Speaker 3: don't like it. Can you help me through this fugue? Well,
49:46
Speaker 3: and I get it, but just because the left tries
49:50
Speaker 3: to use it. And look at what the left's record is.
49:54
Speaker 3: Every time they bring one of these injunctions against President
49:57
Speaker 3: Trump and some district court judge in San Francisco or
50:02
Speaker 3: Portland says, yeah, you can't do that, they appeal it,
50:07
Speaker 3: and they usually will get relief at the next level
50:10
Speaker 3: of the appellate process, or in some cases they get
50:13
Speaker 3: all the way to the Supreme Court. But here's the key.
50:15
Speaker 3: In Virginia, they're supposed to be in court on Monday
50:20
Speaker 3: to have a hearing on this. What happens if the
50:27
Speaker 3: judge says, I need time to consider this, so I'm
50:29
Speaker 3: going to put a hold on this case. And there's
50:31
Speaker 3: a great opportunity for a judge to pardon the biblical
50:36
Speaker 3: reference split the baby and say I will hear this case,
50:40
Speaker 3: but I cannot hear it. Courts are closed on Tuesday
50:43
Speaker 3: for election Day until Wednesday, so therefore all actions are
50:51
Speaker 3: suspended until after we can convene a hearing on this,
50:55
Speaker 3: which is Wednesday. Therefore, that election now on Tuesday, the
51:00
Speaker 3: fourth will have come and gone and they cannot use
51:03
Speaker 3: it as the intervening election because it's done already. And yes,
51:10
Speaker 3: sure you can say the Democrats use this, but look
51:17
Speaker 3: at how the Democrats use it, and look at how
51:20
Speaker 3: these conservative clerks of the court have used it. They're
51:25
Speaker 3: saying that the General Assembly is trying to force them
51:28
Speaker 3: to break the law, much like those schools that were
51:34
Speaker 3: ordered to close. What if a principle during the massive resistance,
51:39
Speaker 3: which was Virginia's response to Brown versus Board of Education,
51:44
Speaker 3: they said, well, scirl, we're just going to close the schools.
51:49
Speaker 3: What if a federal court judge said you have to
51:52
Speaker 3: go teach to the teachers. Well, Virginia law at the
51:56
Speaker 3: time said they couldn't teach. You can't force somebody to
52:04
Speaker 3: break the law. As a matter of law, you can't
52:07
Speaker 3: have two laws that contradict one another, and therefore by
52:11
Speaker 3: compliance with one, you'll be in violation of another. And
52:15
Speaker 3: I'm not a lawyer. I just hang out around with
52:17
Speaker 3: probably way too many of them. So I hope that
52:22
Speaker 3: answers your question, and I get it then, as I
52:24
Speaker 3: understand your fugue saying, ah, and you're not hearing about
52:28
Speaker 3: this anywhere else. I've checked. There's only a couple of
52:31
Speaker 3: news outlets that even have this story and they haven't
52:34
Speaker 3: published it yet. So we'll have this up on the
52:37
Speaker 3: podcast channel later. We still have to get Friday show
52:40
Speaker 3: up there as well. We'll get the podcast up there
52:43
Speaker 3: so you can distribute them to Spotify and everything else
52:46
Speaker 3: till Monday. So long and thanks for all the fish.
52:51
Speaker 24: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
52:53
Speaker 24: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
52:57
Speaker 24: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
53:01
Speaker 24: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
53:05
Speaker 24: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
53:09
Speaker 24: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
53:12
Speaker 24: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions, the
53:16
Speaker 24: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
53:20
Speaker 24: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
53:24
Speaker 24: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher traction devices are
53:27
Speaker 24: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
53:30
Speaker 24: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
53:33
Speaker 24: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
53:36
Speaker 24: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your
53:38
Speaker 24: home and Doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful
53:41
