- 2:22Speaker 7: this move in Virginia to really create a mecca for
- 2:30Speaker 7: abortion tourism. And that's what it's going to become here

- 2:56Speaker 5: Who knows.
- 2:57Speaker 7: The polls are coming out almost every three to four hours,
- 3:01Speaker 7: saying Abigail Spanberger's ahead, So one wonders if that's really
- 3:06Speaker 7: true or not. Everyone's got a poll. I'm going to
- 3:09Speaker 7: release a poll later on today. Stop, what are you
- 3:13Speaker 7: snickering about. We're just gonna and it's going to be
- 3:17Speaker 7: as detailed as most of the other ones. So President Trump,
- 3:21Speaker 7: after an hour and forty minute long meeting with Chairman
- 3:25Speaker 7: She of China, says that he will cut tariffs on
- 3:29Speaker 7: Chinese imports because Chairman she has made commitments on fighting fentanyl,
- 3:36Speaker 7: farm trade and a pause of rare earth mineral export limits.
- 3:41Speaker 7: The meeting in Busan marked the final stop on President
- 3:45Speaker 7: Trump's Asia trip, which also included stops in Malaysia and Japan,
- 3:50Speaker 7: and was focused on cooling the economic standoff between Washington
- 3:55Speaker 7: and Beijing. It appears mission accomplished. President Trump announced that
- 4:00Speaker 7: he has also ordered the United States to resume nuclear
- 4:03Speaker 7: weapons testing immediately, saying he directed the Department of War
- 4:07Speaker 7: to match other nations programs. He called the move necessary
- 4:12Speaker 7: to maintain global parody. Quote the United States has more
- 4:16Speaker 7: nuclear weapons than any other country. This was accomplished, including
- 4:20Speaker 7: a complete update and renovation of existing weapons, during my
- 4:24Speaker 7: first term in office. Pakistan's defense minister Wednesday threatened to
- 4:30Speaker 7: obliterate the Taliban, which is in control of neighboring Afghanistan,

- 4:44Speaker 7: Virginia's House of Delegates passed a constitutional amendment to redraw
- 4:49Speaker 7: Virginia's congressional map.

- 4:58Speaker 7: past election results. And those are our first things this
- 5:03Speaker 7: Thursday morning.

- 6:03Speaker 7: you said, no, that was not. That was when we
- 6:05Speaker 7: were supposed to get and we it wasn't.
- 6:06Speaker 5: We're early. It was too short, it was it was
- 6:09Speaker 5: not as long as it needed to be.
- 6:10Speaker 9: Could you at least tell her about the shrinkage factness.
- 6:14Speaker 5: Shrinkage. Besides, I think women know about it. No, no,
- 6:17Speaker 5: they they don't. Well they do now shrank our news time.
- 6:21Speaker 7: There's a couple of stories that we could share here
- 6:23Speaker 7: with you In the moments, Seventh US Circuit Court of
- 6:27Speaker 7: Appeals granted the Department of Justice's request to pause a
- 6:31Speaker 7: lower court ruling requiring the leader of the Operation Midway
- 6:35Speaker 7: Blitz enforcement efforts in Chicago to check in daily with
- 6:40Speaker 7: a federal judge, and Colorado's Attorney General has sued President
- 6:44Speaker 7: Trump's administration over the move of the US Space Commands
- 6:49Speaker 7: headquarters to Huntsville, Alabama, and Steve Scalise has announced that
- 6:54Speaker 7: Republicans are discussing several ideas for a year end health deal.
- 7:01Speaker 10: You know, it's true, difficult times have a way of
- 7:03Speaker 10: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
- 7:07Speaker 10: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
- 7:09Speaker 10: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
- 7:13Speaker 10: Metashare is a trusted way to save up to fifty
- 7:16Speaker 10: percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred
- 7:19Speaker 10: thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why,
- 7:23Speaker 10: especially now during this challenging season with health care costs
- 7:27Speaker 10: and out of pocket expenses going up. Meta Share can
- 7:29Speaker 10: save you a lot of money. The typical family saves
- 7:32Speaker 10: five hundred dollars a month.
- 7:34Speaker 11: Medashare works too. It's been around for thirty years. Members
- 7:37Speaker 11: have shared more than five billion dollars of each other's bills.

- 7:59Speaker 11: five share.
- 8:03Speaker 4: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 4: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 4: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 4: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 4: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 4: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 4: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 4: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 4: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 4: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 13:18Speaker 1: The first thing today.
- 13:25Speaker 5: Not missed.
- 13:27Speaker 21: List China, China, and with that, many less tariffs on
- 13:39Speaker 21: your China.
- 13:40Speaker 5: Girl. You know who knows if you reduce what too soon.
- 13:46Speaker 7: So after an hour and forty minutes and you think
- 13:50Speaker 7: this program is long, I know that some of you
- 13:53Speaker 7: may only get an hour or two of it, but
- 13:55Speaker 7: it's a it's a four hour affair, and you can
- 13:57Speaker 7: hear the whole thing through podcast forms at well any
- 14:03Speaker 7: number of distributors Spotify, Apple Podcasts, iHeart ironically because iHeart
- 14:11Speaker 7: and Odyssey both showed me the door when I worked
- 14:13Speaker 7: for them, but they love distributing the podcast. So you know,
- 14:18Speaker 7: rock on with your bad self, as they say. But
- 14:22Speaker 7: the Chinese tariff's reduction, President Trump called the meeting with
- 14:27Speaker 7: chairman she amazing is reducing tariffs on Chinese imports in Busan.
- 14:37Speaker 7: After an hour and forty minute meeting, and the press
- 14:41Speaker 7: is funny about this. So the press will sit there
- 14:45Speaker 7: and complain and they'll wheel out all the experts that
- 14:48Speaker 7: talk about the narcissism of Donald Trump.
- 14:53Speaker 5: But the moment Donald Trump, what was it that.
- 14:58Speaker 7: After he disappeared, nobody saw him for like twelve hours consecutively,
- 15:06Speaker 7: and then then you know, there's a picture of him
- 15:08Speaker 7: playing golf with one of his younger family members.
- 15:14Speaker 5: Is it niece?
- 15:16Speaker 7: And it's like, we have a Trump sighting, but you'll
- 15:20Speaker 7: complain about his narcissism and is.
- 15:25Speaker 5: Alleged their word not mine.
- 15:28Speaker 7: Narcissism, that he always has to be the center of attention,
- 15:32Speaker 7: and then the minute he isn't there, Where's Trump?
- 15:36Speaker 5: Trump's gone? Trump's something's happened to Trump? We can't find Trump?
- 15:41Speaker 5: Where did Trump go? And the most notable thing.
- 15:46Speaker 7: Never mind the commitments to help fight fentanyl at the
- 15:51Speaker 7: distribution end, never mind the lifting of restrictions on rare
- 16:00Speaker 7: earth minerals, of which you owe you're carrying right now.
- 16:03Speaker 7: You may even be listening to this program thanks to
- 16:06Speaker 7: rare earth minerals. Never mind any of that, never mind
- 16:13Speaker 7: all the tariff liftings.
- 16:15Speaker 5: There was no press conference. What are we to do?
- 16:19Speaker 5: What are we supposed to do? Quick? Get a spot
- 16:22Speaker 5: in the hallway on Air Force one. We've got like
- 16:25Speaker 5: a twenty hour flight ahead of us.
- 16:27Speaker 7: You see, and I can only wistfully imagine what the
- 16:31Speaker 7: hallway of Air Force one looks like behind the door,
- 16:34Speaker 7: the Golden door. He should brand that door the door
- 16:39Speaker 7: that he stands in an Air Force one and holds
- 16:42Speaker 7: court talking about nuclear testing now and it just it's
- 16:47Speaker 7: laughable to me to watch the press complain about Trump
- 16:51Speaker 7: and then as soon as Trump doesn't do something for them,
- 16:55Speaker 7: like have a press conference, something's wrong? What's gone wrong?
- 17:01Speaker 7: Why isn't President Trump holding a press conference? Trump, did
- 17:07Speaker 7: you tell the Air Force one press gaggle that the
- 17:12Speaker 7: twenty percent tariffs on China related fentanyl related to the
- 17:17Speaker 7: fentanyl crisis. So the first Trump's laid out so many
- 17:21Speaker 7: of these tariffs based on different issues between the US
- 17:27Speaker 7: and China. The twenty percent tariffs related to the fact
- 17:31Speaker 7: that they weren't helping fight fentanyl getting into this country
- 17:37Speaker 7: are being reduced to ten percent, bringing the total amount
- 17:40Speaker 7: of duties imposed on Chinese imports to forty seven percent.
- 17:45Speaker 7: He also said the US had reached an agreement with
- 17:48Speaker 7: China ensuring Beijing would not impose dramatic restrictions on rare
- 17:54Speaker 7: earth minerals. We have a deal now. Trump told the
- 18:01Speaker 7: gaggle in the hallway, bardon me, just stray hair got
- 18:08Speaker 7: in there. Of all the places to get a stray hair,
- 18:11Speaker 7: you know, for your benefit, you don't want me to
- 18:13Speaker 7: get one anywhere else. We have a deal now, Trump
- 18:17Speaker 7: told reporters. Every year we'll renegotiate the deal. But I
- 18:20Speaker 7: think the deal will go on for a long time,
- 18:23Speaker 7: long before beyond the year. We'll negotiate at the end
- 18:26Speaker 7: of the year. But all the rare earth stuff has
- 18:29Speaker 7: been settled, and that's for the world, he said. China
- 18:35Speaker 7: has agreed to work very hard, his words, to stop
- 18:39Speaker 7: the flow of fentanyl. A lot of decisions were made.
- 18:42Speaker 7: Trump said in the hour and forty five minute meeting,
- 18:45Speaker 7: there wasn't too too much left out there. He said
- 18:49Speaker 7: he thinks a one year deal could be routinely extended.
- 18:53Speaker 7: Now here's I was talking to a couple of folks
- 18:55Speaker 7: just text messaging. Obviously a lot of stuff in Virginia
- 18:58Speaker 7: about the amazing map. Governor Glenn Youngkin sent me a
- 19:04Speaker 7: copy of what they're going to propose in redistricting, and
- 19:09Speaker 7: I mean it's stunning, it's tear inducing, and it would
- 19:16Speaker 7: as Tom Garrett warned us on Monday. He said that
- 19:21Speaker 7: the map would create ten out of eleven districts as
- 19:25Speaker 7: a Democrat. And we'll get into all that. But I
- 19:28Speaker 7: was talking to a few folks about this Chinese situation already,
- 19:34Speaker 7: and they said, you know, an annual meeting with this
- 19:39Speaker 7: is a political move.
- 19:41Speaker 5: And I said, well, you mean, I mean, how craven
- 19:43Speaker 5: can you be to call this?
- 19:44Speaker 7: He said, this guarantees that it becomes a campaign issue
- 19:49Speaker 7: every presidency because if this is something that's going to
- 19:52Speaker 7: be renegotiated every year, well in two and a half years,
- 19:58Speaker 7: the next president candidate, which, by the way, Eric Trump
- 20:03Speaker 7: was talking to me the other day and he said, man,
- 20:06Speaker 7: apparently Eric Trump is the source of the Trump twenty
- 20:11Speaker 7: twenty eight hats. He and some of his marketing people
- 20:17Speaker 7: just took a Trump twenty twenty four hat and put
- 20:21Speaker 7: the number eight over it to like a photoshop or something.
- 20:25Speaker 7: And he said, the meltdown that came from seeing that
- 20:29Speaker 7: online was just he said, it was too much fun.
- 20:32Speaker 7: And so the and and the fact that entire half
- 20:36Speaker 7: hour programs have been devoted to the constitutionality of twenty
- 20:43Speaker 7: twenty eight and I'm told that that's what William Daniels
- 20:47Speaker 7: was speaking about when he was when he made that
- 20:50Speaker 7: Instagram post about Donald Trump.
- 20:52Speaker 5: Tearing up the thing he was so well known for.
- 20:55Speaker 7: You know, the podcast refers to it as William Daniels
- 20:59Speaker 7: gets Martin Sheen disease.
- 21:02Speaker 5: Bill, you played John Adams. You aren't John Adams. But
- 21:07Speaker 5: he was complaining that Donald Trump was tearing up the
- 21:10Speaker 5: constitution by claiming you could run in twenty twenty eight.
- 21:13Speaker 5: When it was just it was trolling, it was beautiful.
- 21:16Speaker 5: But this Chinese annual renegotiation is going to be a
- 21:22Speaker 5: political football. So who's the next president? Is going to be?
- 21:25Speaker 7: Jd Vance, is going to be Marco Rubio? Certainly of
- 21:29Speaker 7: the GOP hopefuls. Could Glenn Youngkin get into the race.

- 24:03Speaker 4: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 4: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 4: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 4: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 4: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 4: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 4: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:41Speaker 4: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 4: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:29Speaker 7: Shot here in the mid Atlantics, quickly irrelevant flyover country,
- 28:36Speaker 7: the Virginia General Assembly, four hundred years.
- 28:39Speaker 5: In the making, have become one of the.
- 28:47Speaker 7: Most partisan battles out there. They're trying to take a
- 28:53Speaker 7: state that, by conservative estimates is maybe fifty three percent
- 28:58Speaker 7: to forty seven per sent Democrat voters, although with a
- 29:06Speaker 7: Republican governor, you have to argue, is that truly the case?
- 29:11Speaker 7: And is it just a bunch of Republicans that have
- 29:14Speaker 7: been so gas lit into believing that there's no hope
- 29:19Speaker 7: of ever winning because of Northern Virginia. After decades of
- 29:23Speaker 7: being told, dah, Northern Virginia is going to beat everybody.
- 29:27Speaker 7: It is, you know it, don't even show up, and
- 29:29Speaker 7: they don't. This is what I mean about this passive
- 29:33Speaker 7: aggressive vote suppression. It's a verbal poll tax. All the
- 29:44Speaker 7: learned souls with graying temples behind the newsdesk speaking with
- 29:49Speaker 7: great gravity about how Virginia is a blue state and
- 29:53Speaker 7: Virginia will be dominated by Northern Virginia, and oh those
- 29:58Speaker 7: unemployed government workers, and the shutdown is going to I
- 30:04Speaker 7: truly believe, as I do nationwide, that the conservative mind
- 30:11Speaker 7: outnumbers the progressive.
- 30:15Speaker 5: Marxist mind two to one.
- 30:18Speaker 7: It's just that when we see voter turnout in the
- 30:21Speaker 7: forty five to fifty five percentile, that's enough to drag
- 30:25Speaker 7: their sorry Marxist carcasses across the electoral finish line and
- 30:31Speaker 7: give them victories because Republicans stay home, Republicans don't get excited,
- 30:38Speaker 7: or Republicans get into these circular firing squads, because there's
- 30:44Speaker 7: a purity test amongst Republicans the Democrats do not fall
- 30:49Speaker 7: prey to. And after President Trump was elected in twenty sixteen,
- 30:57Speaker 7: there was a mass migration. There was a what are
- 31:02Speaker 7: the environmentalists call it? A mass extinction moment amongst many
- 31:11Speaker 7: Virginia Republicans who said, I can't do this. Guys out
- 31:16Speaker 7: there and it was all reactionary. It was all reactionary.
- 31:19Speaker 7: I would talk to people saying that's one of the
- 31:23Speaker 7: most notable ones is now one of the directorate at
- 31:26Speaker 7: the University of Virginia's Larry Sabado Institute for Getting Larry
- 31:31Speaker 7: Sabado mostly mentioned on the news, but they call it
- 31:34Speaker 7: the Center for Politics. David Ramadan was one of the
- 31:38Speaker 7: leaders in the Virginia House and quit because TV reports
- 31:45Speaker 7: had told him Donald Trump hated Muslims and so he
- 31:49Speaker 7: couldn't be in a party of a president that hates Muslims.
- 31:53Speaker 7: And I said, well, what was your evidence on that?
- 31:55Speaker 7: He said, look at all the media reports, Joe and
- 31:58Speaker 7: I like, you were supposed to be a learned leader
- 32:00Speaker 7: of people, and you're just reacting to what some jackass
- 32:04Speaker 7: who barely got a high school degree says behind the
- 32:08Speaker 7: counter of a newsroom. Sucker, please, but that's what's happened
- 32:14Speaker 7: in Virginia. So I don't even believe that Virginia is
- 32:17Speaker 7: fifty three forty seven Democrat, but they're going to take
- 32:27Speaker 7: a congressional representation. And this is the most stunning turn
- 32:31Speaker 7: in all of these states. California in Prop. Fifty wants
- 32:35Speaker 7: to add like three or four more Democrat majority districts.
- 32:42Speaker 7: Illinois wants to take the three remaining Republican represented districts
- 32:51Speaker 7: and get rid of them.
- 32:58Speaker 5: And in Virginia, we're going to take.
- 32:59Speaker 7: A eleven congress people and make ten of them turned
- 33:19Speaker 7: into Democrats. Based on previous election results, I think currently
- 33:27Speaker 7: the split is seven to four Republicans. So the Republicans
- 33:32Speaker 7: in Virginia are going to lose six congressional seats. And
- 33:37Speaker 7: I've looked at the map. Glenn Youngkin sent me a
- 33:39Speaker 7: map yesterday, and the proposal it's stunning. So every congressional
- 33:44Speaker 7: district begins in a massive blue urban area, whether it
- 33:48Speaker 7: be the Washington DC suburbs. I think four, fully four
- 33:54Speaker 7: of the congressional districts begin in the Washington d C suburbs,
- 33:58Speaker 7: fredericks Berg and all that. Then two more begin in
- 34:04Speaker 7: the Richmond suburbs, and then another two begin in Norfolk
- 34:08Speaker 7: Hampton Roads, and they drag them out They look like
- 34:14Speaker 7: wind socks at a rural airport, all blowing into something,
- 34:19Speaker 7: and they all stream west, petering out until they get
- 34:23Speaker 7: into the west. And one little district down in coal
- 34:26Speaker 7: country of you know, that prong that comes off of
- 34:30Speaker 7: Virginia's map, would still remain red.
- 34:36Speaker 5: That's six seats.
- 34:44Speaker 7: And there's at least fifteen members of the Virginia House
- 34:48Speaker 7: and I think almost a dozen Senators who just five
- 34:52Speaker 7: years ago voted to take to please get redistricting out
- 34:58Speaker 7: of the hands of the elected representatives. Please take it
- 35:11Speaker 7: out of our hands and put it into a commission. We'll,
- 35:18Speaker 7: of course choose the commission. But that fell apart and
- 35:21Speaker 7: it became the matter for a special for a couple
- 35:30Speaker 7: of special masters appointed by the Virginia Supreme Court, and
- 35:33Speaker 7: it actually worked out pretty well. But they have voted.
- 35:51Speaker 7: They turned their vote around. They said, you know what,
- 35:53Speaker 7: we want it back, and so they took it back.
- 36:04Speaker 7: And the Republicans are trying to sue in court saying
- 36:07Speaker 7: that they're violating the law. The judge did allow the
- 36:12Speaker 7: case to go forward, the cases to be heard the
- 36:14Speaker 7: day after election day. And here's the thing about this,
- 36:17Speaker 7: because they said in twenty twenty. We don't want to
- 36:20Speaker 7: have anything to do with redistricting anymore. We want to
- 36:24Speaker 7: take it out of our hands and turn it over
- 36:27Speaker 7: to this commission and or the Supreme Court. They made
- 36:32Speaker 7: it a constitutional amendment, which is very hard to change,
- 36:37Speaker 7: and they're trying to use an election that almost half
- 36:42Speaker 7: of Virginians have already cast votes in. So the court
- 36:46Speaker 7: hearing is actually the next day after election day. So
- 36:55Speaker 7: I'm hoping that that undoes all of this because these
- 37:00Speaker 7: activist judges that every time Donald Trump sneezes, there's a
- 37:04Speaker 7: judge that puts a restraining order on whether he can
- 37:08Speaker 7: pick up a tissue or not. So you know, as
- 37:22Speaker 7: they move forward through this, there's going to be court cases,
- 37:25Speaker 7: there's going to be court filings. The Senate still has
- 37:27Speaker 7: to read the bill twice on Thursday, today, and Friday,
- 37:34Speaker 7: but this one is going to be a stunning flip
- 37:39Speaker 7: of a bunch of seats to make Virginia look like
- 37:43Speaker 7: we're as left wing as Massachusetts or California, which isn't
- 37:50Speaker 7: true at all.
- 37:50Speaker 5: And I wonder, really if you break.
- 37:53Speaker 7: It down, if it isn't true about California, and it's
- 37:56Speaker 7: just this past gas lighting that drives voted down.

- 44:35Speaker 7: So long ago, when George Sorows roamed the land uh
- 44:40Speaker 7: and dinosaurs ruled the earth, he gave money to win
- 44:44Speaker 7: over progressive prosecutors, prosecutors that would use their prosecutorial discretion
- 44:50Speaker 7: to decide whether or not any prosecutor would bring you know,
- 44:56Speaker 7: these charges, just like James Comey taught them. And so
- 45:02Speaker 7: when the elected officials just say, you know what we want,
- 45:06Speaker 7: what we want when we want it, and I don't
- 45:09Speaker 7: care if there's a law that says you can't have it.
- 45:13Speaker 7: They just do it and say, what are you going
- 45:15Speaker 7: to do? Fire us because they they've counted. And the
- 45:20Speaker 7: laughable thing is Eric Holder, who's paid for all this.
- 45:23Speaker 7: Literally the afternoon before the Virginia General Assembly filed their
- 45:29Speaker 7: motion to rewrite the districts, a one hundred and fifty
- 45:34Speaker 7: thousand dollars contribution from Eric Holder's National Redistricting Committee arrived
- 45:42Speaker 7: at the Democratic Party of Virginia's headquarters. So when they
- 45:47Speaker 7: say to all of us that they're.
- 45:48Speaker 17: Going to do what they want, justice, I suppose more
- 45:52Speaker 17: like preferential treatment.
- 45:53Speaker 7: But I'm not leaving they have president now because this
- 45:56Speaker 7: is what they do to criminals too, people who steal
- 45:59Speaker 7: from you.
- 46:01Speaker 5: What did you do? It's it's okay.
- 46:04Speaker 7: We don't allow victim shaming unless they're middle class business owners.
- 46:09Speaker 7: And it's regardless of race, because the National Association for
- 46:13Speaker 7: Colored Advancement of Colored Persons has endorsed the white female
- 46:18Speaker 7: rather than the black emigrant from Jamaica, which, by the way,
- 46:22Speaker 7: has just suffered some horrendous damage in this Hurricane Melissa,
- 46:27Speaker 7: just devastating at least half of the island of Jamaica.
- 46:31Speaker 7: Cuba as well got hit pretty hard by it. It's
- 46:41Speaker 7: color is what you believe. We apparently self identify by
- 46:45Speaker 7: the color of whatever we behave. So when Winsome Earl Sears,
- 46:50Speaker 7: the black Jamaican immigrant candidate for governor of Virginia doesn't
- 46:57Speaker 7: get endorsed by the National Association for the Advancement of
- 47:00Speaker 7: Colored Persons, you understand that it must be a self identification.
- 47:07Speaker 7: And it's how they drive down voter turnout in all
- 47:10Speaker 7: these places. And every time there's some surprise, oh my gosh,
- 47:18Speaker 7: a Republican won this district near Portland or whatever, it's
- 47:22Speaker 7: always because there was a huge voter turnout. Is look
- 47:27Speaker 7: at the average the average election outside of presidential years
- 47:32Speaker 7: is seeing currently in the United States fifty percent, maybe
- 47:38Speaker 7: a little bit more, sometimes a little bit less voter turnout.
- 47:44Speaker 7: Democrats don't seem to have a problem voting for their
- 47:49Speaker 7: social agenda rather than trying to enact it themselves. They
- 47:54Speaker 7: want to help people by way of voting for somebody
- 47:57Speaker 7: who will go get the money from someone else to
- 48:00Speaker 7: start a program to help people. You're not going to
- 48:03Speaker 7: see these folks at a soup kitchen or giving somebody
- 48:07Speaker 7: an apartment in their basement to live in, but they'll
- 48:11Speaker 7: take your tax money to go do it for someone else.
- 48:16Speaker 7: But that virtue signaling gets a much higher percentage of
- 48:20Speaker 7: the registered Democrats out. So if you can get the
- 48:23Speaker 7: voter turnout to fifty percent, well, Washern's repeat, baby, the
- 48:28Speaker 7: twenty five percent of the population that it takes to
- 48:31Speaker 7: win those elections. Democrats got that covered. Their activism is
- 48:37Speaker 7: on election day and then they go back to being
- 48:44Speaker 7: the trailing spouse of some university professor and.
- 48:48Speaker 5: Write their books.
- 48:52Speaker 7: But if we can work on getting the Conservatives out
- 48:56Speaker 7: and I know Trump did an amazing job of getting
- 48:59Speaker 7: them out of vote, he needs to help us get
- 49:04Speaker 7: the Conservatives out to vote in these mid terms. Yes,
- 49:08Speaker 7: and it's not about him, but the press will make
- 49:14Speaker 7: it about him, of course. It's about you and who's
- 49:19Speaker 7: representing you. Now I was having a talk. You know,
- 49:21Speaker 7: this whole redistricting mania is driven by this Permanent Reapportionment
- 49:31Speaker 7: Act of nineteen twenty nine that capped the size of
- 49:34Speaker 7: the US House of Representatives at four hundred and thirty five.
- 49:39Speaker 7: So now you have a static number of seats and
- 49:43Speaker 7: you move them around to fate to where the populations moved,
- 49:47Speaker 7: rather than just increasing the size of Congress as our
- 49:51Speaker 7: population grew. For example, in nineteen thirty, right after the
- 49:56Speaker 7: Permanent Reapportionment Act of nineteen twenty nine was passed, there
- 50:00Speaker 7: were one hundred and twenty two million, seven hundred and
- 50:04Speaker 7: seventy five thousand and forty six citizens of the United States.
- 50:11Speaker 7: We have over three hundred and forty million now. So
- 50:15Speaker 7: even if you just take the base number, and friends
- 50:20Speaker 7: of my longtime listeners know that it's always fun when
- 50:24Speaker 7: Joe starts to do math live on the air. It's like, Joe,
- 50:31Speaker 7: sit down, create flowing dialogue. Don't try to do science,
- 50:40Speaker 7: but we do every now and then. So we have
- 50:42Speaker 7: three hundred and forty million people in the United States
- 50:45Speaker 7: right now, roughly just slightly less than three times as
- 50:51Speaker 7: many people as there were in the country when they
- 50:54Speaker 7: capped the population. Regardless of what James George Mason and
- 50:58Speaker 7: Patrick Henry and the founders wanted in the first of
- 51:04Speaker 7: the twelve amendments proposed, which was congressional districts of no
- 51:09Speaker 7: more than fifty thousand people that would lead to a
- 51:14Speaker 7: Congress of six four hundred people, which, by the way,
- 51:17Speaker 7: for a country of three hundred and forty million people,
- 51:20Speaker 7: I wouldn't have a problem with still seems low because
- 51:26Speaker 7: they want you to believe that Congress doesn't care about
- 51:29Speaker 7: you because there's two too few of them and too
- 51:33Speaker 7: many of us. It's not a flaw but a feature.
- 51:37Speaker 7: But even if we were just to say, let's triple
- 51:40Speaker 7: the size of Congress to go back to the percentages
- 51:45Speaker 7: we had in nineteen thirty, you're talking about twelve hundred
- 51:51Speaker 7: Congress people, and we don't have this problem with all
- 51:55Speaker 7: these states doing their redistricting.
- 52:00Speaker 5: So you choose whether you just.
- 52:02Speaker 7: Want to go back to nineteen thirty and eliminate the
- 52:05Speaker 7: Permanent Reapportionment Act and allow Congress to continue as it
- 52:09Speaker 7: was then to to grow with the population at the
- 52:14Speaker 7: rate it had been growing up through nineteen thirty when
- 52:20Speaker 7: the Dixiecrats were afraid of the black population getting too
- 52:24Speaker 7: many Congress people. And that's what was behind it. All
- 52:27Speaker 7: you people who claim that the foundation of this nation
- 52:30Speaker 7: was racist, The foundation of this second term nation was racist.
- 52:36Speaker 7: All the post Civil War stuff was racist. That's where
- 52:40Speaker 7: the racism in this country and our code was written
- 52:43Speaker 7: in or go back to that original first Amendment. You choose,
- 52:48Speaker 7: but we need to fix this.
- 52:51Speaker 19: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 52:54Speaker 19: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
- 52:56Speaker 19: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
- 52:59Speaker 19: and vultulnerable. We found get CCL dot com. Get CCL
