- 8:04Speaker 2: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 2: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 2: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 2: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 2: healthy cells, even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com, where we

- 9:58Speaker 9: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack Hannah. It's always a boy. Growing
- 10:01Speaker 9: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 9: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 9: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 9: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 9: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 9: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 9: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 9: them to navigate the trees and the.
- 10:22Speaker 1: Wild in search of fruit.
- 10:23Speaker 9: This remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends,
- 10:26Speaker 9: the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets at home,
- 10:30Speaker 9: but because of their acute senses, they also perform life
- 10:33Speaker 9: saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe at airports.
- 10:36Speaker 9: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
- 10:39Speaker 9: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:41Speaker 9: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 9: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
- 10:47Speaker 9: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

- 13:19Speaker 3: On a need to know basis, because you need to
- 13:22Speaker 3: know the first thing today, So is.
- 13:25Speaker 1: The polls close up and the counting going on to
- 13:30Speaker 1: get a grasp of what is going on in California.
- 13:34Speaker 1: Being part of the Daily Signal team as Virginia's correspondent,
- 13:39Speaker 1: there's a great team of folks. Hailey Gomez, Drew Allen,
- 13:43Speaker 1: and Angelina Delphine work to cover California for us at
- 13:49Speaker 1: the Daily Signal. Daily Signal dot com. Look up the
- 13:51Speaker 1: state coverage teams. We have Ohio. We've talked to Rebecca
- 13:56Speaker 1: Downs from Ohio, and we're getting Texas and Georgia more
- 14:00Speaker 1: and more to come. But Angelina, thank you for taking
- 14:03Speaker 1: some time out with us late in your night, in
- 14:05Speaker 1: early and hours to give us a feel. Steve Hilton
- 14:09Speaker 1: leading in the jungle primary for governor. What is the
- 14:13Speaker 1: feeling here in Virginia? We see Republicans get out to
- 14:17Speaker 1: a lead only to see Northern Virginia show up at
- 14:20Speaker 1: eleven o'clock and ruin it. What is the feeling there
- 14:24Speaker 1: in California regarding Hilton's lead, I will.
- 14:27Speaker 17: Say Republicans are pretty confident that Steve Hilton is making
- 14:30Speaker 17: it to that general election. Right now, fifty four percent
- 14:34Speaker 17: of the total votes are counted, and Steve Hilton is
- 14:36Speaker 17: coming in at twenty seven percent of the vote, compared
- 14:39Speaker 17: to Xaber Bassera who's at twenty five percent, and then
- 14:43Speaker 17: ten percent below those two is Tom Steyr and then
- 14:45Speaker 17: Chad Bianco is all the way at just eleven percent.
- 14:48Speaker 17: So you're definitely right that you know, those concerns over
- 14:52Speaker 17: Republicans splitting the vote, that was a huge problem and
- 14:55Speaker 17: that may become more of an issue with the general elections.
- 14:59Speaker 17: But right now Steve Hilton is leading in first place
- 15:02Speaker 17: by a narrow two percent, but it's still something, especially
- 15:05Speaker 17: in state like California.
- 15:06Speaker 10: You know, we'll take a week and.
- 15:07Speaker 1: Get what do you know, do we know where those
- 15:11Speaker 1: other fifty percent are coming from? Like we said in Virginia,
- 15:15Speaker 1: you know, it's at this point in the night, just
- 15:18Speaker 1: past midnight. Usually this is when Fairfax County and Arlington
- 15:23Speaker 1: and places in the DC suburbs, they all of a
- 15:26Speaker 1: sudden start releasing their votes and Democrats rise to the
- 15:30Speaker 1: top because they're so blue. There are the fifty percent
- 15:34Speaker 1: that haven't been counted equally distributed around California, Angelina, do
- 15:39Speaker 1: you have a feel for you know, are they coming
- 15:43Speaker 1: from rural California or urban you know kind of blue?
- 15:48Speaker 1: You know, almost Indigo California, in San Francisco, LA and
- 15:53Speaker 1: places like that.
- 15:55Speaker 17: Yeah, well, what places like LA and San Francisco, their
- 15:58Speaker 17: determinations really have been made already. They're going really hard
- 16:02Speaker 17: for people like Bisera.
- 16:04Speaker 10: But it's still it's still a toss up.
- 16:07Speaker 17: Between these red and blue counties that we're dealing with.
- 16:10Speaker 17: And what was I going to say? So so and again,
- 16:16Speaker 17: only fifty four percent of the votes have been counted,
- 16:19Speaker 17: so that leaves a whole other half of California voters
- 16:23Speaker 17: to change things. So it's not too far off that
- 16:26Speaker 17: even by tomorrow morning, we could see some other candidate really.
- 16:30Speaker 10: Just jump jump up in the polls. Yeah, especially in
- 16:34Speaker 10: a see.
- 16:34Speaker 17: It like California. We're horrible at counting votes for some reason.
- 16:36Speaker 17: It takes us so much longer. So it could be
- 16:40Speaker 17: it could be one more day, it could be anywhere
- 16:42Speaker 17: up to a week, and I wouldn't be too surprised.
- 16:44Speaker 1: Does that Does that cause problems with the California electorate,
- 16:48Speaker 1: because you know, we see that in Save Virginia has
- 16:51Speaker 1: been growing worse and worse with this, or voter turnout
- 16:55Speaker 1: goes down because the citizens just say something going on,
- 17:01Speaker 1: I'm not even going to vote this time.
- 17:03Speaker 17: Yeah, that's a huge concern for California voters. Is election integrity?
- 17:07Speaker 17: Does my vote really matter? These mail in ballots secure?
- 17:11Speaker 17: But there's been a huge push, especially in the LA
- 17:14Speaker 17: mayoral race, candidate Spencer Pratt telling people please send in
- 17:19Speaker 17: your mail in votes because they really wanted to get
- 17:23Speaker 17: a sense of how popular they were in this in
- 17:27Speaker 17: this primary election. So it doesn't seem like it has
- 17:31Speaker 17: impeded things too much. But again, a lot of people
- 17:35Speaker 17: do opt to vote in person on the day of
- 17:38Speaker 17: so that's why we're seeing, you know, just the fifty
- 17:41Speaker 17: four percent, but you know, we'll see what happens.
- 17:45Speaker 1: Angelina Delphine from The Daily Signal, one of the California
- 17:50Speaker 1: team covering the California elections. Has the turnout been high
- 17:56Speaker 1: at this point? Like you said, about fifty four percent
- 17:58Speaker 1: of the vote has been counted so far, but has
- 18:01Speaker 1: has in general the feeling been This has been a
- 18:03Speaker 1: high voter turnout considering how much attention has been paid
- 18:07Speaker 1: to the gubernatorial jungle primary.
- 18:12Speaker 17: Yeah, definitely a high turnout this year, and I think
- 18:16Speaker 17: it's in part due to just you know, where we're at.
- 18:19Speaker 17: We have a Trump endorsement for Steve Hilton just this morning.
- 18:23Speaker 17: Jd Vance second seconded Trump and and said, you know,
- 18:27Speaker 17: Steve Hilton's a great guy.
- 18:28Speaker 10: I urge you to vote for him. And you know,
- 18:32Speaker 10: and then in the lama Ol.
- 18:33Speaker 17: Race, which is also a huge thing so many Californians
- 18:36Speaker 17: and just Americans are following, is that with Karen Bass.
- 18:41Speaker 17: You know, we have just seen record rates of homelessness.
- 18:44Speaker 17: The Palisades fires were just devastating, over thirteen thousand homes burned.
- 18:48Speaker 10: To the ground.
- 18:49Speaker 17: And so when a candidate like Spencer Pratt came in,
- 18:53Speaker 17: it really drove people to get out and vote who
- 18:56Speaker 17: normally wouldn't. So we're really, we really are seeing high
- 18:59Speaker 17: voter turnout this year.
- 19:00Speaker 1: And in LA it looks like Pratt, though not leading,
- 19:03Speaker 1: is very close and performing very well there. And so
- 19:09Speaker 1: let me just jump ahead, put your prognosticator hat on,
- 19:13Speaker 1: Angelina and somebody you know who knows this stuff. Can
- 19:17Speaker 1: Steve Hilton take this and turn it into a victory
- 19:23Speaker 1: in November? You know, you said he's at about twenty
- 19:27Speaker 1: seven percent. Bianco's got eleven percent. That's not fifty yet,
- 19:33Speaker 1: So can he flip some of the other votes that
- 19:38Speaker 1: didn't go for him or Xavier?
- 19:40Speaker 10: But Sarah, you know, we do have to be realistic.
- 19:44Speaker 17: In a state like California that's so deeply blue, it
- 19:48Speaker 17: is a stretch to get any Republican elected, you know,
- 19:54Speaker 17: in the general election.
- 19:56Speaker 10: It's possible, but it would be a very narrow, a
- 20:00Speaker 10: very narrow chance.
- 20:01Speaker 17: I mean, if you add up the numbers, even if
- 20:03Speaker 17: Steve Hilton had Chad Bianco's votes, all those votes that
- 20:07Speaker 17: were going to candidates like Katie Porter and Tom Steyer,
- 20:10Speaker 17: if those got added on to xaber BISERA. It is
- 20:12Speaker 17: a very very narrow election, and in California when when
- 20:16Speaker 17: money is going to Democrats in mass it could be difficult.
- 20:22Speaker 1: What about dis effected and I you know, family is
- 20:25Speaker 1: from California and they talk about the business Democrat. Over
- 20:30Speaker 1: the last ten or twenty years, a lot of Republicans
- 20:33Speaker 1: have become Democrats just because they got tired of losing
- 20:36Speaker 1: on election day. So you have more conservative Democrats than
- 20:41Speaker 1: a state like Virginia, where it seems like every time
- 20:44Speaker 1: we elect a new Democrat they're closer to AOC than
- 20:47Speaker 1: they are JFK. So are can these voters in more red,
- 20:56Speaker 1: more agricultural parts of California, even if they're traditionally a
- 21:01Speaker 1: Democrat voter, vote for somebody like Steve Hilton and say
- 21:04Speaker 1: we need change, you know? And and if that happens,
- 21:08Speaker 1: can he get some help from business Democrats in the
- 21:12Speaker 1: California General Assembly to govern for four years?
- 21:18Speaker 17: That is the big question, you know, will Steve Hilton
- 21:21Speaker 17: be able to garner the intention of these of these Democrats?
- 21:24Speaker 10: And I don't think it's far fetched, but.
- 21:28Speaker 17: You know, it's it's it's it's a hard call because
- 21:31Speaker 17: when push comes to shove. These Democrats are pressured like
- 21:34Speaker 17: crazy to support you know, somebody like of a say,
- 21:38Speaker 17: whichever Democrat candidate makes it to the general election.
- 21:41Speaker 10: So it's really difficult.
- 21:43Speaker 17: But rounding back to the LA mayoral race, I mean,
- 21:46Speaker 17: that's what we're seeing with Spencer Pratt is that he
- 21:48Speaker 17: is just getting an overwhelming amount of votes from Democrats
- 21:52Speaker 17: who say that they're fed up with the results. They're
- 21:55Speaker 17: fed up with what they've seen from Newsom, and they're
- 21:56Speaker 17: fed up with they've seen from the La Mayor La
- 21:59Speaker 17: Mayor Karen Back.

- 24:03Speaker 2: Considered by most optimized, curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 2: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 2: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 2: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:08Speaker 3: The first thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 28:15Speaker 3: Joe Thomas.
- 28:41Speaker 1: Oh it is didn't say bat Hey, there's doctor Oz
- 28:48Speaker 1: was talking about Obamacare and the pandemic. I thought that
- 28:52Speaker 1: was interesting because I don't hear a lot of folks
- 28:55Speaker 1: connecting what happened under the shadow of batscrat fever and
- 29:02Speaker 1: what it used as its weapon. Its chief accelerant was
- 29:07Speaker 1: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. But we'll get
- 29:11Speaker 1: into that at some point during the morning. Primary is
- 29:14Speaker 1: an interesting one because a lot of the redistricting in
- 29:19Speaker 1: California not as impactful as so in the twenty second district,
- 29:24Speaker 1: David Valavallado continues to lead, probably going to be Randy Viegas,
- 29:33Speaker 1: the Democrat going to face him in November, although that
- 29:37Speaker 1: is very close between him and Jazz Meat Bains in
- 29:43Speaker 1: California's twenty second House district as Republicans are outperforming, you
- 29:50Speaker 1: know the quote redistricting push there, So we'll continue to
- 29:54Speaker 1: get into that. Lots of other things going on besides
- 29:57Speaker 1: the primaries of Scion, yes, but we'll give you full
- 30:02Speaker 1: breakdowns of that as well. Doctor Clark hanging on the
- 30:05Speaker 1: line with US. No primaries in Alabama yesterday, but what's
- 30:09Speaker 1: happening where you are this morning?
- 30:13Speaker 20: Well, what's happening Ryan?
- 30:14Speaker 1: Hey?
- 30:15Speaker 20: The Supreme Court decided that the federal court that tried
- 30:19Speaker 20: to intervene with our election maps didn't have the authority
- 30:23Speaker 20: to do what it did, so we get to pick
- 30:25Speaker 20: our own districts. Yeah.
- 30:28Speaker 1: Well, but that's also a simple prima facia reading of
- 30:32Speaker 1: the law, is that the federal court, it's the same
- 30:35Speaker 1: thing the Supreme Court said about Virginia. You have no
- 30:38Speaker 1: place in this court. This is a purely Virginia issue.
- 30:43Speaker 1: So once the Virginia Supreme Court ruled, just like the
- 30:46Speaker 1: case in Alabama, that's it. Sine die and gavel comes down,
- 30:51Speaker 1: have a nice day, thanks for playing, and the federal
- 30:55Speaker 1: courts don't have a say in it. I think it
- 30:57Speaker 1: was a good rule on that, On that behalf.
- 31:02Speaker 20: I think it was a good room.
- 31:03Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 31:03Speaker 20: So you and I both we're baseball guys, right, So yeah,
- 31:09Speaker 20: do you think three strikes You're out is a good
- 31:12Speaker 20: idea for felons?
- 31:14Speaker 1: I you know, after a bit, you've gotta have to
- 31:16Speaker 1: say sure. I know that that's always been controversial because well,
- 31:23Speaker 1: just just to be fair, just to be fair, we
- 31:27Speaker 1: have seen places where what has you know counted as
- 31:32Speaker 1: strikes one and two have not nearly been or even
- 31:36Speaker 1: strike three in the case of some people. I think
- 31:40Speaker 1: I think that those kind of arbitrary things, though in
- 31:45Speaker 1: mass generally work. I like, I like to do like
- 31:49Speaker 1: the eccentricities of each case should should mean more than
- 31:56Speaker 1: just I'm sorry. We have a mandatory minimum or something
- 31:59Speaker 1: A lot on those lines.
- 32:02Speaker 20: Now in baseball, perfect line drive right at the shortstop,
- 32:06Speaker 20: he catches it, you're still out, right, So I think
- 32:09Speaker 20: three strikes is awfully generous.
- 32:12Speaker 1: But well, yes, but in baseball.
- 32:14Speaker 20: It's good for if three strikes you're out, good for felons.
- 32:19Speaker 20: I think we ought to have something like that for
- 32:21Speaker 20: federal judges.
- 32:23Speaker 1: Oh, I see what you're saying. So you say screw
- 32:25Speaker 1: up three times? Well, what about umpires now that we
- 32:27Speaker 1: have these digital strike zones and players can challenge the
- 32:31Speaker 1: balls and strike calls. I mean, I'm seeing I'm seeing
- 32:34Speaker 1: some umpires that it's like thirty percent correct and seventy
- 32:39Speaker 1: percent overturn.
- 32:40Speaker 20: You didn't have Angel Ferando, would it be worth watching?
- 32:43Speaker 1: You know, I'm sorry it bounced in the dirt, yeah,
- 32:47Speaker 1: but it bounced back up into the strike zone. I
- 32:49Speaker 1: don't know. Yeah, there you go.
- 32:51Speaker 20: It at some point in time when the catcher threw
- 32:53Speaker 20: it back, maybe it went through there. So California, I'm
- 32:58Speaker 20: very disappointed. I haven't got my handfuls of mailing ballots
- 33:02Speaker 20: that I requested. OOA. Now you know, I'm frankly a
- 33:11Speaker 20: little disappointed. Here in the state of Alabama, we had
- 33:15Speaker 20: our primary a couple of weeks ago. We're fixing to
- 33:19Speaker 20: have the runoff on the sixteenth, and I don't know,
- 33:25Speaker 20: something like twenty five percent turnout or something like that.
- 33:27Speaker 20: It was not very good. But here's the thing, Joe,
- 33:31Speaker 20: that twenty five percent turnout. They turned out and they
- 33:36Speaker 20: had to show an idea, and they scanned the back
- 33:38Speaker 20: of your driver's license and you don't vote but one time.
- 33:41Speaker 1: Okay, seems like a fair cop.
- 33:45Speaker 20: Yeah, I'm hey, I'm all for dipping your finger in
- 33:49Speaker 20: the blue ink. But anyway, I don't know why you
- 33:54Speaker 20: wouldn't have two hundred and fifty three hundred percent voter
- 33:56Speaker 20: turnout for California.
- 33:58Speaker 1: We might still, I mean, like they said, they've only
- 34:01Speaker 1: you know, supposedly out of the registrations, only got to
- 34:04Speaker 1: fifty four percent so far of the votes counted.
- 34:10Speaker 20: Have you seen the memes and the ads that Spencer
- 34:16Speaker 20: Pratt has ei or put out or had put out
- 34:19Speaker 20: on his behalf.
- 34:20Speaker 1: I've seen some that I'm not quite one hundred percent
- 34:23Speaker 1: sure he put out or not put him.
- 34:26Speaker 20: Out, but oh my gosh, they're hilarious.
- 34:28Speaker 1: Oh yeah, he's definitely having fun with this.
- 34:33Speaker 3: Yeah, you know that guy.
- 34:35Speaker 20: It's kind of like a friend of the Beavers grew
- 34:37Speaker 20: up and wants to run for mayor or something.
- 34:39Speaker 1: You know, be the one that dad always was warning
- 34:43Speaker 1: him about hanging out with. Here's the thing, and this
- 34:45Speaker 1: is the question, and I asked it yesterday as well.
- 34:49Speaker 1: Is Los Angeles as broken as New York was in
- 34:55Speaker 1: nineteen ninety two, Because in order to break down Democrat
- 35:00Speaker 1: control of New York, it had to become so existentially
- 35:05Speaker 1: bad by nineteen ninety two that the New York Democrats said,
- 35:10Speaker 1: you know what, you're voting for Giuliani. And I mean,
- 35:16Speaker 1: within three years New York City had completely turned around. Now,
- 35:22Speaker 1: several of the things he managed to get the city
- 35:24Speaker 1: council to do, like drop the room tax on hotels,
- 35:29Speaker 1: that kind of stuff, were big parts of getting people
- 35:32Speaker 1: back into New York. I just as an outside arbiter,
- 35:37Speaker 1: think California, or I can think Los Angeles is way
- 35:41Speaker 1: more broken than New York City was in nineteen ninety two.
- 35:45Speaker 20: Do you did New York City ever have a pope?
- 35:48Speaker 1: Mout No. No. The people in New York didn't poop
- 35:53Speaker 1: on the streets in nineteen ninety two. There wasn't There
- 35:56Speaker 1: weren't tense cities in Central Park, the highways were not
- 36:02Speaker 1: littered with people living on the street. And yet New
- 36:06Speaker 1: Yorkers were so sick of Democrats that they voted in
- 36:10Speaker 1: Rudy Giuliani for mayor and voted again and again for him.
- 36:15Speaker 20: You know, here's the thing. I need to look this up.
- 36:19Speaker 20: I'll bet you that either Trailways or Greyhound or both
- 36:26Speaker 20: have stations in La. Yeah, anybody that lives there. I
- 36:31Speaker 20: got no sympathy you could leave, you know, I just
- 36:36Speaker 20: I can't feel sorry for you. You created your circumstances
- 36:40Speaker 20: and you choose to stay there. So let me check
- 36:44Speaker 20: that poot map before you go out this morning.
- 36:45Speaker 1: Buddy's here's a point I have made in the past,
- 36:49Speaker 1: and since you brought it up, you've here in Virginia
- 36:52Speaker 1: several times. I've had this debate with various municipal representatives
- 36:57Speaker 1: on aid to job listeness aid to the poor. I said,
- 37:02Speaker 1: wouldn't it do better if you're not going to commit
- 37:05Speaker 1: yourself to economic development and getting out of the way,
- 37:08Speaker 1: some more businesses can start. Wouldn't it be less expensive
- 37:13Speaker 1: just to rent somebody a U haul and give them
- 37:15Speaker 1: a map of where the jobs are rather than subsidize
- 37:19Speaker 1: them year after year after year to stay here. And
- 37:22Speaker 1: they always look at me weird, I say that.
- 37:26Speaker 20: That doesn't promote dependency. You missed the point entirely.
- 37:29Speaker 1: I guess. So that's why I'm not a democrat it, Joe,
- 37:33Speaker 1: you should be a Democrat. You'd win in Virginia. I
- 37:36Speaker 1: don't think I'd get past the vetting process. I'd burst
- 37:40Speaker 1: into flames walking into the door. Maybe throw salt on
- 37:44Speaker 1: me or come after me with garlic or something good stuff.
- 37:47Speaker 1: Doctor Clarke, you have a great morning, sir, Well.
- 37:50Speaker 20: Happy First Ted's Day and pridemnt.

- 37:59Speaker 21: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
- 38:04Speaker 21: problems in their solutions.
- 38:06Speaker 1: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
- 38:08Speaker 21: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
- 38:11Speaker 21: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
- 38:14Speaker 21: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
- 38:17Speaker 21: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
- 38:20Speaker 21: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
- 38:24Speaker 21: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
- 38:27Speaker 21: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
- 38:30Speaker 21: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
- 38:34Speaker 21: percent less DPF regenerations.

- 44:11Speaker 3: QUIT First thing today on the Talk Media Network by
- 44:15Speaker 3: Joe Thomas.
- 44:18Speaker 1: Ah Ted Steve Morning, thank you for allowing me to
- 44:22Speaker 1: be of service to you, to be as exemplar as
- 44:25Speaker 1: our avatar is on figuring out what it is I
- 44:29Speaker 1: have been gifted by God to do, becoming expert at it,
- 44:34Speaker 1: and then delivering that to a grateful constituency in your case,
- 44:39Speaker 1: Just reward my sponsors and they will continue to reward me,
- 44:47Speaker 1: and hopefully you figure out what that is in you
- 44:50Speaker 1: and you can be just as happy as we all
- 44:53Speaker 1: are as we journey to the center of your mind.
- 45:05Speaker 3: Come jo.
- 45:13Speaker 1: It got weird there for a minute, didn't it. You know,
- 45:16Speaker 1: all of a sudden, the FMDJ is back in there.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Hey baby, call us four three four eight eight two
- 45:22Speaker 1: four to two one seven. That is the phone number.
- 45:25Speaker 1: Emails come into JT in the morning radio at gmail
- 45:29Speaker 1: dot com. Uh, and this is the first of the day.
- 45:34Speaker 1: How dare you say, move out of your hometown just
- 45:38Speaker 1: to go chase a job. What a horrible thing to
- 45:41Speaker 1: try to tell someone to do.
- 45:43Speaker 10: Well.
- 45:43Speaker 1: First off, Jackie, I appreciate the email, and I don't
- 45:50Speaker 1: know where you're emailing from. It's a Gmail account just
- 45:53Speaker 1: like mine is, so I don't know where you're listening.
- 45:56Speaker 1: Could be Youngstown, could be Sacramento, could be Stanton, Virginia.
- 46:01Speaker 1: But Jackie, the point I was making was not you
- 46:05Speaker 1: should leave your hometown. Believe me. I'm all about fighting
- 46:09Speaker 1: for your hometown. If your hometown is being misrepresentified by
- 46:14Speaker 1: the elected class, you should fight to change that. But
- 46:19Speaker 1: I'm the first part of the parable was I was
- 46:24Speaker 1: speaking to political leaders who were insisting that they needed
- 46:28Speaker 1: mo money, more money, more money. Here in Virginia, they're
- 46:32Speaker 1: trying to sneak a proviso that failed failed to get
- 46:37Speaker 1: enough votes failed to get past the governor's desk multiple
- 46:41Speaker 1: times to give local city and county governments an additional
- 46:46Speaker 1: one percent sales tax because you're not taxed enough to
- 46:57Speaker 1: the Commonwealth of Virginia has a two hundred and twelve
- 46:59Speaker 1: billion dollar budget which the Democratic Party can't agree on.
- 47:03Speaker 1: They control both houses and the governors mentioned and they
- 47:06Speaker 1: still can't agree on a two hundred and twelve billion
- 47:10Speaker 1: dollar spending plan. And part of it is they want
- 47:13Speaker 1: to weave in there a bill that they couldn't get
- 47:16Speaker 1: passed on their own, which would increase taxes on the
- 47:21Speaker 1: poorest Virginians regressively, a one percent sales tax that would
- 47:27Speaker 1: basically go to a slush fund. And I love how
- 47:29Speaker 1: Democrat reporters call the one point seven seven six billion
- 47:35Speaker 1: dollar reparations Fund for those who have been the victim
- 47:40Speaker 1: of a weaponized government a slush fund. Have you seen
- 47:44Speaker 1: what the capital expenditures budget at your local school board
- 47:48Speaker 1: gets used for? Every six twice a month, school boards
- 47:54Speaker 1: will meet and there will be some presentation of some obscure,
- 47:58Speaker 1: poorly defined prime that needs fifty or one hundred thousand
- 48:02Speaker 1: dollars out of some multi million dollar capital expenditures budget,
- 48:07Speaker 1: and it's always unanimous, and it's never investigating. Nobody on
- 48:11Speaker 1: the board ever says so what was the bidding process
- 48:15Speaker 1: on this project? How many bids did you take? And
- 48:20Speaker 1: if they do, they'll be lambasted in the press the
- 48:23Speaker 1: next day for being against the children, an obstructionist, a
- 48:32Speaker 1: tea partier, maga, whatever it may be, slush funds. But
- 48:41Speaker 1: the point I was making is these politicians continue to
- 48:44Speaker 1: tell me over and over again, and I'm sure they've
- 48:46Speaker 1: told you, Jackie, they need more money, more money, more money,
- 48:51Speaker 1: for more subsidies for rent. Our own governor was here
- 48:56Speaker 1: signing a bill saying, make it easier to buy a trailer.
- 49:02Speaker 1: Serious she was at, well, I'm sorry manufactured housing, and
- 49:06Speaker 1: and I have not against the manufactured housing business. The
- 49:12Speaker 1: problem isn't the house. It's getting the land to put
- 49:15Speaker 1: the house on. Governor she isn't you know, got to
- 49:21Speaker 1: go where the cameras are most dangerous place in any
- 49:23Speaker 1: political arena is between the governor and the camera, especially
- 49:29Speaker 1: if you're in California, Giggs. But they ask for more
- 49:35Speaker 1: money to subsidize ranch, to subsidize electric bills, to subsidize parking.
- 49:41Speaker 1: To you name it whatever. It has become too expensive
- 49:45Speaker 1: for people to local. Republicans want to subsidize housing for police.
- 49:54Speaker 1: It is a second wrong trying to make it right
- 49:57Speaker 1: because it's too expensive for police to live in my hometown.
- 50:03Speaker 1: So they have to drive two hours to get to
- 50:05Speaker 1: the squad house to gear up and get out on
- 50:10Speaker 1: the streets, and they're I think fifty or forty percent
- 50:15Speaker 1: behind in their recruitment, maybe more. I know they're thirty
- 50:19Speaker 1: officers short. I'm not sure what the percentage of their
- 50:23Speaker 1: population that is, but I've got to think it's somewhere
- 50:27Speaker 1: in excess of twenty percent under hired. Because it's too expensive.
- 50:34Speaker 1: What we can afford to pay police officers doesn't pay
- 50:37Speaker 1: for a place to live in the area they're policing.
- 50:43Speaker 1: So we want taxpayer money to come up with a
- 50:45Speaker 1: fund to help subsidize the rent of the people who
- 50:49Speaker 1: and it just continues to drive things up. And sure,
- 50:51Speaker 1: I get it, you want to be a law and
- 50:53Speaker 1: order supporting person. But are the Republicans instead of saying
- 50:57Speaker 1: we need to lower the cost of housing, they just
- 51:00Speaker 1: want to create a subsidy. Because after a while, you're
- 51:04Speaker 1: in the forest and you don't realize the trees are
- 51:07Speaker 1: falling in on you. But the point I was making, Jackie,
- 51:11Speaker 1: was that it would be cheaper in the long run
- 51:16Speaker 1: for a municipal government to rent a poor person a
- 51:20Speaker 1: U haul one way and take them to a place
- 51:24Speaker 1: where jobs in their field are. If we don't want
- 51:30Speaker 1: to have jobs for you around here that will pay
- 51:32Speaker 1: you better, that's our choice. But we can't just make
- 51:36Speaker 1: you stay here. Will help you move to a place
- 51:40Speaker 1: where you can find a job and you can prosper. So, yeah,
- 51:46Speaker 1: does that technically mean you know, you might have to
- 51:49Speaker 1: leave your hometown. Sure, but how many of us show
- 51:52Speaker 1: of hands have moved for work at some point, never
- 51:56Speaker 1: mind our military men and women. Well, you you just
- 52:00Speaker 1: keep everything in a duffel bag and you're ready to
- 52:03Speaker 1: bug out. So I wasn't saying we should just force
- 52:09Speaker 1: people to leave their hometowns. I'm saying that it would
- 52:12Speaker 1: be cheaper for your city government or your state government
- 52:18Speaker 1: to rent a one way U haul for somebody who
- 52:21Speaker 1: you know, you're never going to support occupational coal miners
- 52:27Speaker 1: that kind of thing. Oh, we'll give them job training,
- 52:29Speaker 1: we'll teach them how to write code. Wasn't that the
- 52:31Speaker 1: bill Clinton thing. You're not going to get those jobs back,
- 52:35Speaker 1: so you better learn how to write code. And then
- 52:38Speaker 1: when they learned how to write code, we went after
- 52:40Speaker 1: them for that too, because now I don't know the
- 52:43Speaker 1: software you're right and is corrupting our kids. So we're
- 52:45Speaker 1: going to al Gore is going to put a warning
- 52:48Speaker 1: label on it.
- 52:51Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 52:54Speaker 12: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 52:56Speaker 12: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected andvulnerable.
