- 2:46Speaker 3: News theater.
- 2:47Speaker 5: News theater was a phrase we invented just you know,
- 2:51Speaker 5: fifteen to twenty minutes ago, because everyone you see in
- 2:55Speaker 5: the news is playing a role. They're there to promote
- 3:00Speaker 5: a particular belief structure. Except for me. I'm just here
- 3:03Speaker 5: to read the stories. I was never that good of

- 13:36Speaker 5: Max coming up with his sports notebook, Tom drops bombs.
- 13:40Speaker 5: I'm gonna also, we're gonna visit with our dear friend
- 13:43Speaker 5: former Fox News, uh, you know, main guy now in
- 13:48Speaker 5: the radio biz and taking it by storm as well.
- 13:52Speaker 5: Owns a radio station out in Memphis, Tennessee. H W
- 13:57Speaker 5: pardon me ka w A m K wham the mighty
- 14:01Speaker 5: nine to ninety in Memphis, Tennessee. Controversy swirling there around
- 14:06Speaker 5: the redistrict thing and the splitting of the county Shelby
- 14:10Speaker 5: County there and what comes next in their battles with
- 14:19Speaker 5: the populists. I put in hopefully audible air quotes. Here's
- 14:26Speaker 5: another example. So in Louisiana where our friends in WGCO
- 14:31Speaker 5: gso get us now they're making hey because Governor Landry
- 14:37Speaker 5: was pressed Sunday night about the fact that people had
- 14:41Speaker 5: already been voting. And here's where this whole thing has
- 14:45Speaker 5: brought strange bedfellows. So in Virginia's Supreme Court ruling, the
- 14:53Speaker 5: court ruled that because Virginians, over a million plus Virginians
- 14:59Speaker 5: had had already been voting in an election, and they're
- 15:04Speaker 5: trying to make a moral equivalence here, so bear me out.
- 15:08Speaker 5: Because a million plus Virginians had already voted in November's election,
- 15:14Speaker 5: the Democrats in Virginia could not view that as an
- 15:19Speaker 5: intervening election because it had already started. The Democrats were saying, well, no, no,
- 15:24Speaker 5: that doesn't count. It doesn't count until we count. Judges
- 15:29Speaker 5: saw it differently, that if people were walking into a place,
- 15:32Speaker 5: getting a ballot, writing answers down on the ballot, and
- 15:35Speaker 5: then putting it into a voting machine, then it was voting. Sorry,
- 15:40Speaker 5: thanks for playing your voting. But in New Orleans, different
- 15:46Speaker 5: set of things. Their state primaries were going on for
- 15:50Speaker 5: different races and different congressional districts. Those congressional districts are
- 15:55Speaker 5: now going to change based on Louisiana versus Calais and
- 15:59Speaker 5: the Supreme Court It's ruling. So the governor said, suspend
- 16:02Speaker 5: the voting. So on sixty minutes, he was asked, what
- 16:10Speaker 5: about the forty five thousand so odd votes that have
- 16:14Speaker 5: been cast? We will have an election, Landry said, And
- 16:24Speaker 5: we're actually going to have an election on election day.
- 16:35Speaker 5: The reporter, Vega Chevy Vega, asked, Landry, are those what
- 16:43Speaker 5: happens to the forty five thousand ballots that have already
- 16:46Speaker 5: been cast? Those ballots are discarded, Landry said, and those
- 16:52Speaker 5: people will vote again in November. You say that like
- 16:58Speaker 5: it's not a big deal. Well, it's not a big deal,
- 17:03Speaker 5: Landry responded. It's not my fault. If anyone has a
- 17:06Speaker 5: grievance taken up with the US Supreme Court, that's they're
- 17:11Speaker 5: going to do that anyway.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Governor.
- 17:16Speaker 5: And I'm the first one to tell you, I would
- 17:20Speaker 5: like all state boards of election to stay out of
- 17:25Speaker 5: primary elections. And here's why. Well, partially because what we
- 17:30Speaker 5: just saw here, but it establishes, and it continues to foment,
- 17:37Speaker 5: this idea that the Republican and Democratic parties are governmental,
- 17:43Speaker 5: They're a part of the American government, Louisiana government, etc.
- 17:50Speaker 5: And I find that constitutionally offensive. You may disagree, You
- 17:54Speaker 5: may be a party member and you like the fact
- 17:57Speaker 5: that you're treated as if you're somehow in Ersat's fourth
- 18:02Speaker 5: and fifth branch of government. Every year, we got the
- 18:07Speaker 5: same thing. The state is running the primaries for the
- 18:14Speaker 5: two political parties. Get out of the business, leave it
- 18:19Speaker 5: to the parties. And you know why they don't want
- 18:23Speaker 5: to do it, because they will make people mad. Because
- 18:26Speaker 5: if you watch how these parties operate, most of the
- 18:29Speaker 5: time they've decided who they want to run, and if
- 18:33Speaker 5: there's a primary, they're going to try to get rid
- 18:35Speaker 5: of them. See how Wie Wasserman Schultz colluded with Hillary
- 18:40Speaker 5: Clinton to get Bernie Sanders off the floora of the
- 18:44Speaker 5: Philadelphia Convention Center. So the state getting involved now just
- 18:55Speaker 5: adds new levels of pain and suffering because now there's
- 18:59Speaker 5: legal these and challenging it. You see how this reporter
- 19:04Speaker 5: Chevy Vega from sixty Minutes agast at the idea of
- 19:10Speaker 5: discarding votes when technically you discard half the votes in
- 19:20Speaker 5: an election no matter what, because they went to the
- 19:23Speaker 5: person who didn't win. They don't count for anything, do they.
- 19:30Speaker 5: But let's at some point we need of the nuanced,
- 19:34Speaker 5: various things that we have to do. The state running
- 19:42Speaker 5: the political parties. Primary business is bad, just needs to go.
- 19:51Speaker 5: It's bad idea and it's just metastasized over time. The
- 19:57Speaker 5: parties should determine who they're candidates are. Then those candidates
- 20:03Speaker 5: have to get the sufficient support to get on the
- 20:06Speaker 5: ballot because they right now they have automatic ballot placements.
- 20:14Speaker 5: So then they turn to the state and say, well,
- 20:18Speaker 5: you need to help us figure out who it is
- 20:21Speaker 5: that's going to be on the automatic line on the
- 20:23Speaker 5: state election in November for Republican and or Democrat. You
- 20:29Speaker 5: can't do that. I mean, it's just I know, of
- 20:32Speaker 5: the things that we talk about, George Washington about, one
- 20:36Speaker 5: of them was getting caught up into these partisan situations
- 20:46Speaker 5: where the state is all of a sudden anointing some
- 20:52Speaker 5: political figure with gravitas. Text message here on the idea
- 20:58Speaker 5: of vote suppression by districting. Of course, it's about vote suppression, shoe.
- 21:05Speaker 5: They don't want all of us turning out to vote.
- 21:09Speaker 5: Have you never heard the expression you can fool all
- 21:13Speaker 5: of the people some of the time and some of
- 21:15Speaker 5: the people all of the time. Yes, I have, and
- 21:18Speaker 5: you can, but you cannot fool all of the people
- 21:21Speaker 5: all of the time. And that's why they want voter
- 21:23Speaker 5: turnout in the fifty percent tile because they figure they
- 21:28Speaker 5: can convince twenty five percent of the population to go
- 21:32Speaker 5: along with them.
- 21:33Speaker 6: Right.
- 21:34Speaker 5: Fifty percent of American citizens need some sort of help
- 21:39Speaker 5: from the government, whether it be medicaid or rent support,
- 21:45Speaker 5: or electricity subsidies, even college subsidied tuition because they can't
- 21:53Speaker 5: afford the basics rent assistance. So how do you think
- 21:58Speaker 5: a conservative is going to win an election?
- 22:01Speaker 22: Hey, I Brandt and her name is shay I Love.
- 22:04Speaker 22: She's a friend of mine whom we were just praying
- 22:06Speaker 22: for because of a surgery. She just went through.
- 22:09Speaker 23: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
- 22:12Speaker 23: talk about all the time, which.
- 22:13Speaker 1: Is meta share.
- 22:14Speaker 23: That is right.
- 22:14Speaker 22: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
- 22:17Speaker 22: and health care ability?
- 22:18Speaker 23: Honestly, Brandt seamless and what a blessing that is. When
- 22:21Speaker 23: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
- 22:24Speaker 23: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
- 22:27Speaker 23: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
- 22:31Speaker 23: call in with your need that is just refreshing. Yes,
- 22:34Speaker 23: that's what it is.
- 22:35Speaker 3: I keep telling people.
- 22:36Speaker 22: People love meda share and they love saving money. Typical
- 22:40Speaker 22: family can save five hundred dollars a month.
- 22:42Speaker 23: I am very thankful for Meta Share. It is so different,
- 22:46Speaker 23: and I mean different in a very very good way.
- 22:48Speaker 22: It is good different Call now. They're easy to talk
- 22:51Speaker 22: to and you can get a price within two minutes.

- 28:38Speaker 3: Mac.
- 28:38Speaker 5: Morning, what's going on?
- 28:40Speaker 28: Hey Jel, Good morning, And as you said, let's open
- 28:43Speaker 28: the notebook. There has been so much talk about the
- 28:47Speaker 28: spacing and the Triple Crown and from horse racing fans
- 28:49Speaker 28: and families, the Preakness is just a major disappointment this weekend.
- 28:54Speaker 28: As a matter of fact, Randy Moss's quote, who's you know,
- 28:57Speaker 28: He's been an analyst with NBC for a long time.
- 28:59Speaker 28: The Triple Crown is broken. This Saturday, the one hundred
- 29:02Speaker 28: and fifty first running of the Pregnant Stakes at Laurel
- 29:04Speaker 28: Park will be contested. The derby winner, Golden Tempa, will
- 29:07Speaker 28: not run. Renegade Trainers and Stable are also taking a pass.
- 29:12Speaker 28: Golden gave us a race of a lifetime in the
- 29:14Speaker 28: Kentucky Derby. We know that we believe the best decision
- 29:18Speaker 28: for him moving forward is to give him a little
- 29:20Speaker 28: more time following such a tremendous effort that came from
- 29:24Speaker 28: Shari de Vaux right the trainer, his health, happiness and
- 29:27Speaker 28: long term future will always remain the top priority. The
- 29:32Speaker 28: two week turnaround from the Derby to the Preakness, which
- 29:35Speaker 28: used to be commonplace, is considered a non starter for
- 29:38Speaker 28: many trainers and owners, given the most elite thoroughbreds now
- 29:42Speaker 28: typically go a month or more between races. It has
- 29:45Speaker 28: caused endless debate in horse racing circles about the spacing
- 29:49Speaker 28: of the Triple Crown in modern times. NBC horse racing
- 29:53Speaker 28: analyst Randy Moss, who I just mentioned, has been with
- 29:55Speaker 28: NBC for sixteen years. He's covered all but two runnings
- 29:59Speaker 28: of the Dirty Derby since nineteen eighty. In the last
- 30:02Speaker 28: eighty years, it has dropped from fifty percent of the
- 30:06Speaker 28: Derby top four finishers to less than ten percent.
- 30:09Speaker 29: Now, I've been beating the strum now for probably twenty years.
- 30:12Speaker 29: I mean in the early two thousands, I could see
- 30:14Speaker 29: it starting to turn and at this point the Triple
- 30:17Speaker 29: Crown's broken. I went back and did the stats. It
- 30:20Speaker 29: took me a while, but like starting with the forties
- 30:23Speaker 29: and fifties, six all the way each decade, the percentage
- 30:26Speaker 29: of the top four finishers of the Kentucky Derby that
- 30:29Speaker 29: went on to run in the Breakness, and the difference
- 30:31Speaker 29: between now and then is just absolutely stacker.
- 30:34Speaker 28: Maryland racing officials are considering adding a third week of
- 30:38Speaker 28: space to the Preakness from the Derby. None of the
- 30:41Speaker 28: eighteen horses who ran this year at Churchill Downs are
- 30:44Speaker 28: heading to the Preaknas with Golden Tempo the only one
- 30:47Speaker 28: even considered. Moss fantasized about the opportunity lost.
- 30:52Speaker 29: Yeah, sometimes it's a shame to have to say that.
- 30:56Speaker 29: Sometimes you get the Kentucky Derby winner to run back
- 30:59Speaker 29: in the Breakness a second, third, fourth typically No, I mean,
- 31:03Speaker 29: just imagine right now what it would be like if
- 31:06Speaker 29: Golden Tempo and Renegade we're both coming back in the
- 31:10Speaker 29: preak Mistakes right they finished close together, the Ortize brothers
- 31:15Speaker 29: at it again, Renegade with the little trouble at the
- 31:18Speaker 29: start from the number one post position, now the clean
- 31:20Speaker 29: trip and Micropoli, and it would be it would be
- 31:23Speaker 29: such a dynamic rematch. It would really capture the imagination
- 31:27Speaker 29: of the people, and we're not going to get it
- 31:29Speaker 29: simply because of the spacing of the Triple Crown.
- 31:33Speaker 28: That's Randy Moss, NBC analyst, and the Prignus is taking
- 31:37Speaker 28: place at Laurel Park this weekend between Baltimore and Washington,
- 31:40Speaker 28: d C. While it's longtime home, Pimlico is being rebuilt
- 31:45Speaker 28: as part of a massive construction project that included demolishing
- 31:49Speaker 28: the dilapidated old structure. Pimlico is set to become the
- 31:53Speaker 28: site for year round racing in Maryland starting next year.
- 31:58Speaker 28: I know the PGA Championship is this weekend as well,
- 32:01Speaker 28: and yes, there's a lot of excitement about another major
- 32:04Speaker 28: as there should be. Of course, we're going to be
- 32:06Speaker 28: talking about the live guys and the PGA Tour guys
- 32:09Speaker 28: and so on and so forth. Well, Tiger Woods is
- 32:12Speaker 28: still rehabilitating. Okay, I want to throw out some numbers
- 32:15Speaker 28: because I think it's only fitting that we talk about
- 32:19Speaker 28: the domination that the people. I think they realized the
- 32:24Speaker 28: domination was there, but they wanted to know by how much. Okay, back,
- 32:28Speaker 28: let's go. We're gonna go back in the heyday, all right,
- 32:30Speaker 28: early two thousands, Tiger's numbers one five hundred and forty
- 32:35Speaker 28: three putts inside three feet between three and five. He
- 32:41Speaker 28: missed three of them.
- 32:42Speaker 1: Oh my god.
- 32:43Speaker 28: Since nineteen eighty three, eight PGA seasons, a player has
- 32:47Speaker 28: beaten the field by two point six shots per round.
- 32:52Speaker 28: Tiger owns all. Eight May ninety nine through two thousand,
- 32:57Speaker 28: Tiger played thirty four world events. He won eighteen of
- 33:01Speaker 28: them out of the top ten four times. The Tiger
- 33:05Speaker 28: slam beat the field. Now, the Tiger Slam, of course,
- 33:08Speaker 28: is when he captured He won the US Open, British Open, PGA,
- 33:13Speaker 28: and then the following spring in a one he captured
- 33:16Speaker 28: the Masters. All right, the Tiger Slam beat the field
- 33:20Speaker 28: by eighty six shots sixteen rounds okay, from ninety seven
- 33:26Speaker 28: to eight one hundred and twenty six under par in
- 33:29Speaker 28: the majors. The next best plus sixty three. And I
- 33:35Speaker 28: think that was Phil Mickelson, who he beat by one
- 33:37Speaker 28: hundred and eighty nine shots. And of course someday we'll
- 33:40Speaker 28: talk about the rivalry. So just a couple of Tiger
- 33:43Speaker 28: numbers to think, Okay, it's another major without Tiger, but
- 33:47Speaker 28: certainly we're still going to uh, we're going to enjoy.
- 33:51Speaker 1: It, Joe.
- 33:51Speaker 28: That's our notebook for this Tuesday morning. We'll see you
- 33:54Speaker 28: next hour with another sports update. Hook you and the
- 33:58Speaker 28: more afraid we get, the more we hate the ones.
- 34:00Speaker 5: You're ashamed to be American, Okay, dsco's.
- 34:03Speaker 12: Honestly, we are all ashamed of YouTube Dollar's.
- 34:05Speaker 5: So last week I received an email. I guess it
- 34:11Speaker 5: came in last week. I didn't see it until Monday.
- 34:15Speaker 5: It was in my inbox. I get literally hundreds and
- 34:19Speaker 5: hundreds of emails. Most of it just you know, spam
- 34:23Speaker 5: and or sales pitches about stuff, and I look at
- 34:26Speaker 5: them because you never know where some nugget's gonna come
- 34:28Speaker 5: out of. But this Pellip. Philip was listening to our
- 34:34Speaker 5: podcast and hear us do this segment live. But it
- 34:39Speaker 5: was a segment Mac where you and I were talking
- 34:42Speaker 5: about the expansion last week of the NCAA basketball tournament
- 34:47Speaker 5: seventy six teams or whatever, and I had some suggestions
- 34:51Speaker 5: for it. But Philip was triggered by a statement I made.
- 34:56Speaker 5: He said, Joe, I'm sure this was a jerk reaction parentheses,
- 35:02Speaker 5: you of course being the jerks. See what you did there, Philip,
- 35:09Speaker 5: when you said that expanding the NCAA Basketball Tournament was
- 35:13Speaker 5: akin to everyone getting a trophy in youth sports. I
- 35:20Speaker 5: am a graduate of Vanderbilt University and I live here
- 35:23Speaker 5: in Memphis, Tennessee. Your guy Todd Starr's coming up with
- 35:29Speaker 5: us in an hour or so. And I want you
- 35:33Speaker 5: to know that, for what has been most of my
- 35:36Speaker 5: adult life, Vanderbilt's only purpose in the Southeastern Conference is
- 35:42Speaker 5: to be the guy that all the other teams beat
- 35:46Speaker 5: to at least give them one win towards being Bowl eligible.
- 35:51Speaker 5: I guess you, Philip, I imagine you weren't happy with
- 35:54Speaker 5: Pavia's Draft day performance and all that us the school
- 36:00Speaker 5: an awful lot of money to participate in SEC athletics
- 36:06Speaker 5: just to be the Washington Generals to every Alabama and
- 36:10Speaker 5: Auburn and Florida that wants to come along and get
- 36:14Speaker 5: a quick win in the middle of the week. So
- 36:18Speaker 5: expanding it so maybe Vanderbilt gets to make the NCUBA
- 36:22Speaker 5: Basketball Tournament more frequently, helps raise the money necessary to
- 36:29Speaker 5: operate at a level as the Southeastern Conference demands so
- 36:37Speaker 5: many things. And number one, Philip, and I'm not derisive
- 36:40Speaker 5: of your feelings. You give money. You're obviously an alumni
- 36:44Speaker 5: donor to Vanderbilt. That's laudable. It's getting to the point
- 36:49Speaker 5: where my college, Queen's College, part of the City University
- 36:53Speaker 5: of New York, will wind up back in the nc
- 36:55Speaker 5: DOUBA tournament where it used to show up, or it
- 36:58Speaker 5: used to get into the NIT back before the NCAA existed,
- 37:04Speaker 5: when it was you know, Sunny Buffalo and City College
- 37:09Speaker 5: and all these schools that were dominating basketball in the
- 37:14Speaker 5: thirties and forties. But the point I was trying to
- 37:21Speaker 5: make is kind of summed up here. A fellow listener,
- 37:25Speaker 5: Bob Out in Portland, sent me a photograph, a picture
- 37:29Speaker 5: I guess it was in his office. When there is
- 37:32Speaker 5: no consequence for a poor work ethic and no reward
- 37:35Speaker 5: for good work ethic, there is no motivation.
- 37:39Speaker 3: And the hard part is is.
- 37:43Speaker 5: Somebody who's got to win, somebody who's got to lose
- 37:45Speaker 5: in an athletic competition. Now does Vanderbilt, as you've seen,
- 37:50Speaker 5: can beautiful campus, great city. How do you not recruit
- 37:56Speaker 5: to Nashville, Tennessee. I mean, those are the things that
- 37:59Speaker 5: are scratch about Vanderbt.
- 38:02Speaker 13: Hi.

- 38:13Speaker 30: most hard working Americans, this just isn't the case. Why

- 44:20Speaker 4: Right?
- 44:21Speaker 9: This worked to your moms.
- 44:25Speaker 4: I came to drop balls.
- 44:27Speaker 5: I got more ones, and the bottles got songs and
- 44:29Speaker 5: just like the botticle sun oppert and I want stuff,
- 44:32Speaker 5: but I mean you'll get bun because I got the list,
- 44:35Speaker 5: but you ain't got money.
- 44:36Speaker 4: I can't look it down. I can't look it down,
- 44:38Speaker 4: So get down to fut.
- 44:42Speaker 5: Told you I have this, and I don't even claim
- 44:45Speaker 5: it's embarrassing. I have this weakness for mash up, but
- 44:48Speaker 5: I said this one specifically struck me as we bring
- 44:53Speaker 5: in the man who hosts the Tom Drops Bombs podcast
- 44:58Speaker 5: and video podcast on YouTube, Tom Garrett. Uh, former congressman,
- 45:05Speaker 5: former documentary filmmaker. Though I don't know if you if
- 45:08Speaker 5: you ever stopped doing that. Uh and uh and of
- 45:11Speaker 5: course in Virginia's house there as well. Tom, How how
- 45:15Speaker 5: is the Tom drops Bombs channel going for you?
- 45:20Speaker 20: Well, first of all, get over to YouTube and subscribe
- 45:23Speaker 20: to Tom drops Bombs.
- 45:24Speaker 23: Were work.
- 45:25Speaker 20: Look, we've gotten like fifty thousand new followers across platforms
- 45:29Speaker 20: this in the last few months.
- 45:31Speaker 5: Hey, hey, hey, And of course you've told them all
- 45:33Speaker 5: to listen to this radio program, right.
- 45:36Speaker 20: Oh dude, man, I'm all about to o n and
- 45:38Speaker 20: Joe Thomas all about Joe comments. Okay, all right, but
- 45:42Speaker 20: but but but the but the YouTube channel actually is
- 45:45Speaker 20: going slowly, and I think maybe recncy frequency primacy. Right,
- 45:48Speaker 20: You've got a brand and we've totally failed at branding.
- 45:51Speaker 20: So I'm Garrett in exile on X I'm Tom Garrett Jr.
- 45:56Speaker 20: On TikTok, I'm Delegate Tom Garrett on Facebook, Tom Drops
- 46:00Speaker 20: on YouTube. I really need to unify the brand like
- 46:03Speaker 20: the Democrats have right now, they don't get on message
- 46:06Speaker 20: and stay on message. It used to be that it
- 46:08Speaker 20: was it was all about the Balkanization of our nation,
- 46:12Speaker 20: you know, pit one group against the other based on
- 46:14Speaker 20: immutable character traits like they call your skin or your
- 46:16Speaker 20: faith or what have you. Now they've gone back to
- 46:19Speaker 20: class warfare. That two will fail. But this is the
- 46:22Speaker 20: ether rich. You know. I saw the most adorable young
- 46:26Speaker 20: person wearing a T shirt the other day that said
- 46:28Speaker 20: eat the rich, and I just shook my head and thought,
- 46:31Speaker 20: too soon, old, too late wise, But you know, there
- 46:35Speaker 20: we are, well, you.
- 46:37Speaker 5: Know, and that but that is it's they go through history.
- 46:40Speaker 5: What do they say, History doesn't repeat, but it rhymes
- 46:43Speaker 5: and they go back and they think, oh, well, now
- 46:46Speaker 5: we've learned from the mistakes of communism.
- 46:48Speaker 3: We can do it right.
- 46:50Speaker 20: Well, we're going to do Martians and better. At that time, Yeah,
- 46:52Speaker 20: you know, we've.
- 46:53Speaker 5: Learned all this stuff. So so aside from the fun
- 46:56Speaker 5: and frolic of the Three Stooges esque fire by the
- 47:00Speaker 5: Attorney General of Virginia, in which he misspelled no no, no, no,
- 47:04Speaker 5: no no, it's the Joe.
- 47:06Speaker 20: I'm sorry to interrupt on your show. It's the Attorney General,
- 47:09Speaker 20: the attorney.
- 47:10Speaker 5: General, Tony the a Tony Award winner. Uh this morning. Yeah,
- 47:13Speaker 5: he misspelled Virginia and senator in the filings to the
- 47:18Speaker 5: Supreme Court. Do you think that's gonna weigh against them?
- 47:21Speaker 5: Do you think John Roberts is gonna look at that?
- 47:25Speaker 20: You you, you, you, you missed it. He actually misspelled
- 47:29Speaker 20: a Tony attorney general in a previous filing, so sends
- 47:33Speaker 20: it tour a Toney general and was Virginat. I don't
- 47:38Speaker 20: even know Virginia. So here's the thing, here's the thing,
- 47:43Speaker 20: and this is actually terrifying. I try to use humor
- 47:45Speaker 20: because I believe, and this is an original quote I
- 47:47Speaker 20: checked the other day, I believe if you want to
- 47:50Speaker 20: win hearts and minds, you must first get eyes in
- 47:51Speaker 20: the years. So I try to use humor to do that.
- 47:54Speaker 20: This isn't funny, this is actually terrifying. Uh. There are
- 47:58Speaker 20: some really good lawyers who are liberal, okay, not stupid,
- 48:02Speaker 20: very confident. And I challenge one of any of your
- 48:05Speaker 20: listeners to find the good attorney who thinks this thing
- 48:10Speaker 20: has a snowflakes chance and hades of succeeding before the
- 48:14Speaker 20: Supreme Court of the United States and the reason it's
- 48:17Speaker 20: terrifying is they know this is going to fail. I'll
- 48:20Speaker 20: explain it in a moment, but they did it anyway,
- 48:23Speaker 20: and I promise you, and we'll never know, but I
- 48:25Speaker 20: would bet the farm they're already working on the press
- 48:29Speaker 20: release wherein the attack that is undermined the American confidence
- 48:34Speaker 20: in the institution of the judicial branch scotis and we
- 48:38Speaker 20: could write it for them. You know, they're so afraid
- 48:40Speaker 20: of Trump, or these these the injustices are so terrified,
- 48:45Speaker 20: and or Trump controls the court and then you'll have
- 48:47Speaker 20: carivals say, and the only way to fix this is
- 48:50Speaker 20: this to stack the court, and everybody on the left
- 48:52Speaker 20: will dutifully not like Lemmings. Right.
- 48:54Speaker 5: So and by value you know, yeah, real quick time,
- 48:58Speaker 5: you know by this because matter you know, he means
- 49:02Speaker 5: Virginia's appeal to the Supreme Court yesterday, and I should
- 49:07Speaker 5: have made sure that that was out there for you.
- 49:09Speaker 5: Virginia has appealed the referendum ruling from Virginia's Supreme Court
- 49:15Speaker 5: that said the vote was illegally called and therefore doesn't count.
- 49:19Speaker 5: So anyway, continue, I just wanted people knowing when we
- 49:22Speaker 5: were saying this, and they.
- 49:25Speaker 20: Let's let's unspool this a little further than so, the
- 49:28Speaker 20: Virginia Supreme Court ruled that the Virginia referendum to stack
- 49:33Speaker 20: the Virginia Congressional allegation in the state that most recently
- 49:36Speaker 20: voted fifty two to forty eight, it was actually fifty
- 49:39Speaker 20: one to forty nine with some change thrown in to
- 49:44Speaker 20: ten to one Democrat that that was illegal. And it
- 49:46Speaker 20: wasn't illegal because they didn't count a minority. It wasn't
- 49:50Speaker 20: illegal because it wasn't fair. It wasn't even illegal because
- 49:52Speaker 20: they changed the rules mid game. It was illegal because
- 49:55Speaker 20: the Democrats had demanded and got forty five days of
- 50:00Speaker 20: early voting, and the ballot referendum language needed to be
- 50:04Speaker 20: placed before the voters in a timeline written out in
- 50:07Speaker 20: the constitution. You know, the most sacrifanct of laws, the
- 50:10Speaker 20: law of laws. Right, So they bit themselves in the
- 50:13Speaker 20: butt there. I commend you to check Genesis fifty twenty.
- 50:16Speaker 20: What you intended for evil, God intended for good, and
- 50:19Speaker 20: we could get it into a contextual discussion of that,
- 50:21Speaker 20: but I think it fits here. And so they did that,
- 50:25Speaker 20: and then the Supreme Court said, yeah, no, we're a lawyers,
- 50:27Speaker 20: not doctors. But we can do enough math to know
- 50:29Speaker 20: what forty five days early voting just did to your
- 50:31Speaker 20: illegal jerymannering effort. Right now, that's all done under the
- 50:35Speaker 20: state constitution. Here's why they don't have a snow chance
- 50:38Speaker 20: in hades under the Federal Supreme Court, because there has
- 50:41Speaker 20: to be a case of controversy over which the court
- 50:43Speaker 20: has jurisdiction. We get to the ninth and tenth Amendments
- 50:46Speaker 20: of the Constitution, powers not expressed enumerated for the federal
- 50:50Speaker 20: government or Reserve of the States, or there to the
- 50:52Speaker 20: people of kind of gone backwards on that and oversimplified.
- 50:55Speaker 20: But this is a Virginia State constitution question, and it's
- 50:58Speaker 20: within the purview of the Virginia State Constitution, and it
- 51:00Speaker 20: is there by virtue of the US Constitution. Therefore, there's
- 51:04Speaker 20: no federal question, and the Supreme Court's not going to
- 51:08Speaker 20: weigh in on interpreting the state's laws that are otherwise
- 51:11Speaker 20: consistent and within the left and right limits of the
- 51:14Speaker 20: federal law. There's not a single Democrat lawyer, including the
- 51:17Speaker 20: California lawyer who they're using your tax dollars to pay
- 51:19Speaker 20: to come argue this garbage, who thinks this has a
- 51:23Speaker 20: chance of success. But then they can throw their hands
- 51:26Speaker 20: up once again and blame John Roberts and Neil Gorsich
- 51:29Speaker 20: and whomever. Right, yeah, and oh my, I mean, oh
- 51:34Speaker 20: my gosh, I mean this one could be like the
- 51:36Speaker 20: Jack Smith, who you know, the prosecutor who should be
- 51:39Speaker 20: in prison by McDonald case, where they get it to
- 51:43Speaker 20: the Supreme Court and loses nine to nothing. In fact,
- 51:45Speaker 20: that's what disappointed me the most about the Virginia Supreme
- 51:48Speaker 20: Court ruling. It should have been seven to nothing. If
- 51:50Speaker 20: we're talking about throwing anybody off the courts, it's the
- 51:53Speaker 20: guys who can't do the math on what thirty five
- 51:58Speaker 20: days looks like versus ninety and before versus after.
- 52:01Speaker 5: Judicial activism has been the key in this. Their complaint
- 52:06Speaker 5: is there isn't enough judicial activism yet when they march
- 52:12Speaker 5: under this banner of the popular vote, the quote voice
- 52:16Speaker 5: of the people. I brought this up earlier, and I
- 52:18Speaker 5: can't settle the idea that if something is so called
- 52:22Speaker 5: the voice of the people, that why would you not
- 52:25Speaker 5: have the political ability to change that law far more
- 52:29Speaker 5: easily than just ignoring it and hope that during the
- 52:33Speaker 5: appellate process you can get a Supreme Court justice like
- 52:37Speaker 5: of John Roberts, you know, like in his Obamacare ruling,
- 52:42Speaker 5: you know, recreates law out of whole cloth, you know,
- 52:46Speaker 5: like law out of water or wine out of water. Tom,
- 52:50Speaker 5: what do you think.
- 52:51Speaker 31: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
- 52:55Speaker 31: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
- 52:57Speaker 5: It was Medicare that came through force.
- 53:00Speaker 12: There was no hassles, there was no problem.
- 53:02Speaker 31: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
- 53:06Speaker 31: of such an incredible ministry.
- 53:07Speaker 15: Meta Share is a Biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
- 53:11Speaker 15: share each other's medical expenses.
- 53:13Speaker 27: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
- 53:18Speaker 27: with you through the hardest times of your life.
- 53:20Speaker 15: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years old,
- 53:25Speaker 15: and members have shared over eight billion dollars of each
- 53:27Speaker 15: other's medical bills.
- 53:29Speaker 7: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
- 53:31Speaker 7: You can focus on on supporting other people.
- 53:33Speaker 3: Meta Share is affordable.
- 53:35Speaker 15: Medishare is biblical.
- 53:36Speaker 8: Medashare is family.
- 53:37Speaker 15: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
- 53:40Speaker 15: your healthcare and support your family when you need it call,
- 53:44Speaker 15: eight five five share forty, eight five five share forty.
- 53:48Speaker 15: That's eight five to five share forty
