"JT's 'Ex' Men" (FTTxJT Fri 103026 hr3) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:02
  Speaker 1: This is Independence from Virginia, again, first thing today, by
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Joe works at the steel mill, he's down here every day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: Kids to school and all the work.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:24
  Speaker 4: he needs.
• 0:25
  Speaker 5: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims.
• 0:29
  Speaker 6: To please you.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Bless you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: this morning. Visiting with the great Ken Cuccinelli Election Transparency Initiative,
• 0:43
  Speaker 3: former Secretary of Homeland Security, as well as Attorney General
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: for the Commonwealth of Virginia. Ken, I wanted to ask
• 0:50
  Speaker 3: you about this. Just earlier this week, I was in
• 0:53
  Speaker 3: a pitch meeting for our friends at The Daily Signal,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: who I write for, and one of our California colleagues
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: columnist Angelina Delphine held up five envelopes and she lives
• 1:06
  Speaker 3: in Southern California. And she said, these have all been
• 1:09
  Speaker 3: mailed to my home because there were apparently four other
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: people listing her address, either that they had lived there
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: before or, and this never came off the rolls. And,
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: and she said, there's nothing that would stop me outside
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: of the fact that it's mail fraud and voter fraud,
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: depending on, you know, which is more of a serious crime.
• 1:29
  Speaker 3: from signing these and sending them in and voting five times.
• 1:34
  Speaker 3: Is this one of the great flaws? We talk about
• 1:37
  Speaker 3: voter ID and we talk about President Trump's 20,000 Californians
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: and everything. When you have non-citizens and deceased citizens and
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: people who aren't actually walking around looking for a place
• 1:49
  Speaker 3: to vote on the rolls, mail-in balloting is like pouring
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: gasoline on top.
• 1:55
  Speaker 7: Of the C4. Uh, no, no question.
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: And, um, uh, as Jimmy Carter found himself in the
• 2:07
  Speaker 8: Carter Baker commission, that mail voting is the most susceptible
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: to fraud of anything we do. And that was back
• 2:15
  Speaker 8: in 2005. Um, and, um, and, and unfortunately the example
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: you describe is repeated all over the place. literally tens
• 2:29
  Speaker 8: of thousands of times. And that's just California. These mail-only
• 2:35
  Speaker 8: voting states, including Utah, it isn't just Democrats, they're spitting
• 2:43
  Speaker 8: out tens of thousands of inaccurate ballots. And by inaccurate,
• 2:49
  Speaker 8: I mean the person whose name on it doesn't live
• 2:52
  Speaker 8: there anymore. In the case of a lot of these states,
• 2:55
  Speaker 8: they resist voting They resist cleaning up the voter rolls.
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: They fight it like crazy. And why would you do that? Well,
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: when you combine this spitting out of mail ballots with
• 3:08
  Speaker 8: a state where it's legal to ballot harvest, well, it's
• 3:15
  Speaker 8: not very hard to turn those puppies in.
• 3:17
  Speaker 3: No, absolutely. Ken Cuccelli, again, the easiest place to find
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: you is through Heritage.org or HeritageAction.org.
• 3:24
  Speaker 8: It is.
• 3:25
  Speaker 9: Okay.
• 3:26
  Speaker 8: Well, probably Heritage Action.
• 3:27
  Speaker 5: Okay.
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: Well, you go there and get with the election transparency initiative.
• 3:32
  Speaker 3: We've got to get our first things on the air
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: so that people know what else we're talking about. But
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: when even the Obama administration is investigating the citizenship of
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Ilhan Omar, and we'll tell you that story in a
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: little bit. You have a good morning, sir.
• 3:46
  Speaker 8: Yep, you do the same, Joe.
• 3:48
  Speaker 7: Have a great one.
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: So our first things, let's begin there. Since you're like, what?
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: So that investigation into the citizenship of Congresswoman Ilhan Omar
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: was apparently started under the Obama administration. They had what
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: the officials now say in their report as credible evidence
• 4:09
  Speaker 3: that the marriage, quote, was fraudulent to her brother to
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: help her get citizenship. This began in the summer of 2016.
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: The Justice Department is escalating criminal investigations into the possibility
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: of voter fraud and collusion, getting the non-Dan Sullivan, Dan Sullivan,
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: onto the ballot to dilute the Republican incumbent's votes. Subpoenas
• 4:39
  Speaker 3: seeking grand jury testimony, along with records preservation demands, were
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: issued after the New York Times reported that Democrat candidate
• 4:48
  Speaker 3: Mary Palauta's campaign... appeared involved in the recruiting of Dan J.
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Sullivan Jr., or as we call him, the other Dan Sullivan,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: as part of an effort to confuse voters. President Trump
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: was on the campaign trail, continuing his barnstorming before the
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: midterms in South Carolina on behalf of Senator Darlene Graham,
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: saying that Darlene Graham has devoted her entire life to
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: the people of this state. Binance, the world's largest cryptocurrency exchange,
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: said Thursday it's investigating reports of potential security issues as
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: its founder said the incident, quote, does look like a
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: hack on Binance's servers. They have frozen $ 2. 5 billion in
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: funds that they manage as of last night. The top U.S.
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: military commander in the Middle East was at the White
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: House yesterday briefing the president and the Joint Chiefs on
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: the potential for military operations against and in Iran. Meanwhile,
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: Brett Sylvia, former Army Lieutenant General and Pentagon Senior Military Strategist,
• 5:59
  Speaker 3: has admitted to disclosing classified information to journalists. This is
• 6:06
  Speaker 3: in a story obtained by Axios, not the classified information.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: The report details contacts between Sylvia and two reporters from
• 6:14
  Speaker 3: different news organizations over a year, including encrypted communications and
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: a meeting at a restaurant in Arlington, Virginia. The Trump
• 6:24
  Speaker 3: administration announced a proposed rule Thursday to revise nutrient requirements
• 6:29
  Speaker 3: for infant formula that officials said would be the first
• 6:34
  Speaker 3: major changes to the standards in nearly three decades, all
• 6:38
  Speaker 3: part of the Maha movement. And Britain's intelligence services have
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: lost hundreds of hard drives. That wouldn't be a problem,
• 6:46
  Speaker 3: would it? Those are our first things this morning, brought
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: to you in part by our friends at City Elders, cityelders.org.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: If you don't have a City Elders group in your community,
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: start one.
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 10: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: to look into. And that's Metashare. Maybe you've heard joining
• 7:11
  Speaker 10: MediShare can save you or your family up to $ 500
• 7:14
  Speaker 10: a month, and that's huge, but it's also true. People
• 7:17
  Speaker 10: are just happier with it. They love being part of
• 7:19
  Speaker 10: something that reflects and promotes their values and what they
• 7:22
  Speaker 10: believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: MediShare works, too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 10: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 10: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  Speaker 10: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So, yeah, really,
• 7:36
  Speaker 10: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:38

  Speaker 12: Crime across the country is at an all-time high. It
• 8:05
  Speaker 12: feels like even a family road trip is taking a risk.
• 8:08
  Speaker 12: We don't want the feeling of being unprotected and vulnerable.
• 8:11

  Speaker 13: You were strolling along in goodwill when just past that
• 9:05
  Speaker 13: mid-century side table and denim jacket you spotted them nestled
• 9:08
  Speaker 13: in their display case. Miniature donut earrings.
• 9:13
  Speaker 1: Oh, yes!
• 9:15
  Speaker 8: Yes!
• 9:16
  Speaker 13: Your favorite half-breakfast pastry, half-all-day dessert food made into your
• 9:20
  Speaker 13: favorite form of ear candy.
• 9:22
  Speaker 8: Oh, my.
• 9:24
  Speaker 13: Those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.
• 9:27
  Speaker 14: Shh.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Do you smell that?
• 9:30
  Speaker 9: Shh.
• 9:32
  Speaker 13: That's the sugary scent of shopping success. For this is Goodwill.
• 9:38
  Speaker 13: And with every item you buy, you fund local job
• 9:41
  Speaker 13: training and more. So go forth. Bring home those donut earrings.
• 9:48
  Speaker 13: And bring home so much good to your community.
• 9:53
  Speaker 15: Goodwill.
• 9:54
  Speaker 13: Bring good home.
• 9:57
  Speaker 16: Exercise is hard. So is maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 10:02
  Speaker 16: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type 2 diabetes,
• 10:08
  Speaker 16: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 10:12
  Speaker 16: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 10:15
  Speaker 16: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 10:21
  Speaker 16: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 10:23
  Speaker 16: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 10:27
  Speaker 16: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 10:32
  Speaker 16: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,
• 10:36
  Speaker 16: starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor.
• 10:40
  Speaker 16: Eat better. Get moving. Visit checkupamerica.org or call 1-800-DIABETES, a
• 10:47
  Speaker 16: message from the American Diabetes Association.
• 10:50
  Speaker 15: My name is Jim. I'm a veteran, and I lost
• 10:52
  Speaker 15: both legs in Vietnam. My victory was proving that disability
• 10:56
  Speaker 15: is not a limitation.
• 10:58
  Speaker 7: I'm Julius. I'm a veteran. My victory was going from
• 11:01
  Speaker 7: homeless to home.
• 11:03
  Speaker 11: At DAV, we're on a mission, helping veterans of all
• 11:06
  Speaker 11: generations get the benefits they've earned.
• 11:09
  Speaker 17: I'm CeCe.

• 11:16
  Speaker 11: more victories for veterans. Go to DAV.org.

• 11:47
  Speaker 4: No word in the English language is less convincing.
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: Then probably.
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: Are you sure we should get matching tattoos on our
• 11:54
  Speaker 2: first date?
• 11:55
  Speaker 8: Sure.
• 11:56
  Speaker 10: We'll probably stay together.
• 11:58
  Speaker 20: Probably?
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: It's been 23 minutes since I ate.
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: I can probably swim.
• 12:04
  Speaker 2: Uh, you should wait 30 minutes.
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: Okay, don't tell me what to do.
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: Cannonball!
• 12:11
  Speaker 10: Cramp!
• 12:13
  Speaker 5: I have a cramp. I can probably hit the green
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: from here.
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: Probably.
• 12:23
  Speaker 5: Can I get a mulligan?
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: Ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: Hey, are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm pretty sober.
• 12:32
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 4: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 4: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 4: or a friend. Buzzed driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 4: brought to you by NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:47
  Speaker 21: You know the legal drinking age is 21.
• 12:50

• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Making mornings great again. First thing today on the Talk
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: First thing today, this Friday morning, coming to you from
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: our City Elders friends, beautiful sunrise over the eastern seaboard
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: here in Fishersville. If you don't have a City Elders
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: group where you are, start one, cityelders.org. They're visiting with
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: former head of the Department of Homeland Security, now running
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: the Election Transparency Initiative, the great Ken Cuccinelli, this Friday morning. Ken, so,
• 13:50
  Speaker 3: you know, What is, from where you're sitting, all these issues,
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: I feel like at least it's heightened the awareness that
• 13:59
  Speaker 3: it's happening. So I don't know if we're going to
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: see a lot of voter shenanigans this election because of
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: the amount of attention that's being paid to it, even
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: dragging groups like the New York Times into the fray,
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: at least. Do you agree with that?
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: So, first of all, I definitely agree that attention... and
• 14:22
  Speaker 8: close scrutiny makes cheating, affirmative cheating, less likely and less common.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: I definitely agree with that. And we're going to see
• 14:33
  Speaker 8: more congressional observers than we've ever seen before, more DOJ
• 14:37
  Speaker 8: observers than we've ever seen before. And since 2020, on
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: the right, we have grown sort of the cadre of
• 14:47
  Speaker 8: citizen participants And people listening to you and me right
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: now need to know they can do something about this.
• 14:55
  Speaker 8: Every local government hires citizens to be election officials. That
• 15:00
  Speaker 8: means to check the IDs, to count the ballots, actually
• 15:03
  Speaker 8: be inside running the election. Not the partisan observers, etc.
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: That's a help.
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: But it's only about a tenth as good as being
• 15:13
  Speaker 8: an election official. And Virginia, the Virginia... The Institute for
• 15:19
  Speaker 8: Public Policy helped start an election integrity network. They're one
• 15:25
  Speaker 8: of the founding members. And helped train people. Virginia in
• 15:32
  Speaker 8: 2021 was the model state for this. And it's been
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: taken across the country. And we need it all the time.
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: And this is years-long positions. You come in every election.
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: And look, two years from now, you and I are
• 15:44
  Speaker 8: going to be talking about a presidential election.
• 15:46
  Speaker 5: Yep.
• 15:46
  Speaker 8: So people who are listening to us now should be
• 15:50
  Speaker 8: looking for the opportunity to sign up to be an
• 15:53
  Speaker 8: election official, get the training with Clara Bell Wheeler, with
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: the Election Integrity Network.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: She's awesome. She's done the job.
• 16:02
  Speaker 7: She is awesome.
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: She's been all the way up to actually State Department
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: of Elections Board. So, I mean, she's seen it from
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: the inside and out.
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: Yes, and she's also done it for people who aren't Republican.
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: This is not just a right of center thing. She's
• 16:19
  Speaker 8: trained people, like you mentioned, those electoral boards are mixed partisan.
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: You've got Democrats and Republicans, and she's trained them all.
• 16:27
  Speaker 8: So that's just using the Virginia example. The same thing
• 16:33
  Speaker 8: exists in almost all the states now, thanks to the
• 16:36
  Speaker 8: Election Integrity Network. And at Election Transparency Initiative that I lead,
• 16:42
  Speaker 8: we basically try to recruit people into doing this because
• 16:46
  Speaker 8: it is so effective. It's so effective without changing any
• 16:51
  Speaker 8: laws at all.
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: By just being there, by being at the table and saying,
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: you know, here's the law and we know the law.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: And that's the hard bit. I'm going to be a
• 16:59
  Speaker 3: poll watcher myself on Election Day. And, you know, you
• 17:03
  Speaker 3: got to know what the law is. So when you say, hey,
• 17:06
  Speaker 3: that's not supposed to happen. One year during COVID, I
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: was sat on the other side of a room while
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: the absentee ballots were being tabulated. And I said, well,
• 17:15
  Speaker 3: hang on a second. I can't see any of these
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: from where I'm sitting. You could you could be sitting,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: you know, shoving Chinese food menus into the scanner. And
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't know it because I can't see from where
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: I am.
• 17:26
  Speaker 13: Oh, COVID, COVID.
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: And we've allowed that to become such an excuse now.
• 17:31
  Speaker 3: for these manipulations. You and I have talked about this before, Ken.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: It seems like the more we can vote, the earlier
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: we can vote, the less we vote. And I got
• 17:43
  Speaker 3: some statistics earlier, and it's in a piece I'm writing
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: for The Daily Signal, that I think it's Marquette University
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: said that when voter turnout is less than 50%, it
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: favors Democrats. And when it's more than 50%, It favors
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: Republicans and hopefully conservatives in that same vein.
• 18:02
  Speaker 8: Which, by the way, is a reversal over the years.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: Really?
• 18:06
  Speaker 8: Okay. It didn't used to be that way. And that's
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: because we're the working class party now.
• 18:16
  Speaker 1: Gotcha.
• 18:17
  Speaker 19: Okay.
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: And the working class party... Working class people are just
• 18:22
  Speaker 8: less inclined to vote. Look, the Democrats, their voting base
• 18:29
  Speaker 8: is rich white liberals. I mean, that's the base of
• 18:32
  Speaker 8: their party. And one good thing about those folks is
• 18:38
  Speaker 8: they always show up. The bad thing is how they vote.
• 18:42
  Speaker 8: They think they know everything.
• 18:44
  Speaker 15: Right.
• 18:45
  Speaker 8: And they don't.
• 18:47
  Speaker 3: So, you know, again.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Do you think we will see.
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: Hey, Joe, if I could say one other thing. Yeah,
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: go ahead. Early voting is a nice little concept. But
• 18:59
  Speaker 8: states like Minnesota, 46 days, Virginia, 45 days, have made
• 19:04
  Speaker 8: this ridiculous.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: Oh, yeah.
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: And it's an election season. And it's very, very difficult
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: to secure ballots. I remember talking to a very senior
• 19:13
  Speaker 8: election official. She runs one of the cities in Virginia's
• 19:16
  Speaker 8: election systems. And I asked her about the switch to
• 19:20
  Speaker 8: 45 days, and she said, well, nobody asked us when
• 19:24
  Speaker 8: we were going to do our laundry. I mean, we're,
• 19:28
  Speaker 8: you know, the full-time election officials are worked to death,
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: and of course there was no more money in the budget,
• 19:35
  Speaker 8: and et cetera, et cetera. And you gain nothing by it.
• 19:39
  Speaker 8: Voter turnout is not shown to go up with massive
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: early voting. Look, if you want the convenience of a
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: day other than just Tuesday, well, then run. it for
• 19:50
  Speaker 8: a week with two weekends. But there are security issues.
• 19:56
  Speaker 8: There are observation issues. There's ballot issues. um, chain of
• 20:00
  Speaker 8: custody issues. The longer you go, the more difficult those are.
• 20:05
  Speaker 8: And by the way, that's part of why the left
• 20:08
  Speaker 8: likes it.
• 20:08
  Speaker 9: Yeah.
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Ken Cuccinelli, it's the election transparency, uh, initiative, uh, this
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: morning with us on first thing today along the talk
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: media network. Um, and, uh, uh, appreciate, you know, everything.
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: You do there.
• 20:22
  Speaker 1: I can.
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: So one of the things, and you know, it strikes
• 20:27
  Speaker 3: me that, um, this is an important subtext to this,
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: is that we're supposed to agree in a community, and
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: this goes back to the 1929 Permanent Reapportionment Act, SOB, soapbox,
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: whatever you want to call it that I get on.
• 20:48
  Speaker 3: Look at your congressional district and think about the 800,000
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: other people that are in there. So our flagship city
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: is in Charlottesville, partially. And they haven't had a congressional
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: representative since 2010. You know, the liberals that live there,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: 70% vote for Democrats, but they haven't had a congressman
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: since Tom Perriello left in 2010. And Yeah, if we
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: tripled the size of Congress, that might mean that that
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: congressional district would be a Democrat. But it also means
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: there'd be two more Republicans from the area south of
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: where he is. And when you look at a map,
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: look at the maps from 2024 and look at all
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: the counties that Republicans got a majority in and realize
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: that if you had three times as many Congress people
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: all representing those districts, how many more conservative voices you'd
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: have but most importantly, you'd be able to know your congressman.
• 22:01
  Speaker 23: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:05
  Speaker 23: and the American Heart Association recommends that we all get
• 22:08
  Speaker 23: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:11
  Speaker 23: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 23: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 23: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:19
  Speaker 23: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
• 22:22
  Speaker 23: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also
• 22:26
  Speaker 23: infusing your workout routines with strength training as well. So
• 22:29
  Speaker 23: we are super excited to be launching our new plate-loaded
• 22:33

  Speaker 24: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.
• 23:01
  Speaker 24: But now, as wind energy continues to grow, many of

  Speaker 24: these vessels, these companies, these people are building and servicing
• 23:09
  Speaker 24: the offshore wind industry. Moving equipment, installing turbines, transporting crews,
• 23:14
  Speaker 24: it's a huge opportunity, and we're.

  Speaker 21: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 24:08
  Speaker 21: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 24:13
  Speaker 21: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 24:18
  Speaker 21: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 24:23
  Speaker 21: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 24:28
  Speaker 21: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 24:32
  Speaker 21: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 24:36
  Speaker 21: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 24:39
  Speaker 21: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 24:42
  Speaker 21: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,

• 28:15
  Speaker 3: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: this morning uh as we uh crest the bottom of
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: the hour it is time for our man mac our
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: sports director to open his reporter's notebook for us and
• 28:28
  Speaker 3: scene set for, is this going to be another tumultuous
• 28:31
  Speaker 3: weekend for top 25 college football teams, Mack?
• 28:35
  Speaker 27: Yeah, it's crazy when you're looking at all the, when
• 28:39
  Speaker 27: you looked at all the upsets, and I had said somewhere,
• 28:42
  Speaker 27: and maybe it was on the show with Bud or
• 28:45
  Speaker 27: talking to Bud, talking about parody, and I think now
• 28:48
  Speaker 27: you are really seeing kind of the portal parody.
• 28:51
  Speaker 20: Anyway, I had the stat regarding what was it, 95
• 28:55
  Speaker 20: games studied by the Athletic, and if there was a
• 28:58
  Speaker 20: more than $ 5 million disparity between the two teams... The
• 29:03
  Speaker 20: team that has the highest cost, the price, the priciest
• 29:08
  Speaker 20: roster is 65 and 30, you know, so almost double
• 29:12
  Speaker 20: the weight, you know, so there is, but there has
• 29:14
  Speaker 20: been like last night.
• 29:15
  Speaker 7: All right.
• 29:16
  Speaker 20: Troy, Troy goes to Harrisonburg last night. Not that, you know,
• 29:19
  Speaker 20: in the Sunbelt conference, they scored 21 in a hurry.
• 29:23
  Speaker 20: And never scored again. You know, and Billy Napier, that
• 29:28
  Speaker 20: was the five turnovers. That was some of the worst
• 29:31
  Speaker 20: football I'd ever seen. They're alternating quarterbacks. It's fourth and
• 29:34
  Speaker 20: one in overtime. I could go on and on and on.
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: Fumbles after, you know, long pass plays and enter two.
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: interceptions and pick sixes.
• 29:41
  Speaker 20: And I mean, it looked like a church touch league,
• 29:44
  Speaker 20: you know? So anyway, but yeah, Virginia tech's got the
• 29:47
  Speaker 20: buy UVA going to wake forest. That's a whole new
• 29:51
  Speaker 20: wake forest team. And then Miami will be in blue heaven.
• 29:55
  Speaker 20: You've got, I went one time before I get in.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: I real quick story.
• 30:00
  Speaker 20: When I first moved to Florida, it was that fall, 2013,
• 30:03
  Speaker 20: I think. And so I got an invitation to go
• 30:05
  Speaker 20: to Jacksonville. I had a couple of friends up there,
• 30:08
  Speaker 20: and they said, hey, come up. We don't have tickets
• 30:11
  Speaker 20: to the Georgia-Florida game, but we're going to go to
• 30:13
  Speaker 20: the largest cocktail party.
• 30:16
  Speaker 7: Look, I was in a fraternity for four years. I
• 30:19
  Speaker 7: thought I had seen everything. I thought.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: I had seen everything.
• 30:25
  Speaker 20: When they say it's the largest cocktail party in America.
• 30:29
  Speaker 7: Oh, in the world. And it was like. Keg stands?
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: Keg stand. I hadn't seen a keg stand in so long.
• 30:36
  Speaker 7: And they go, Mac, you're showing your age.
• 30:39
  Speaker 20: They would take growlers of beer, okay?
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: And they put the growler. You know what a growler is.
• 30:45
  Speaker 7: It could be half or two pints or whatever. I
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: don't know.
• 30:49
  Speaker 20: But then we'd take duct tape and wrap it around
• 30:53
  Speaker 20: your wrist. You could not get the growler out of
• 30:56
  Speaker 20: your hands until you finished it.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Oh, my goodness. So that's coming up. That's going to
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: be the early game.
• 31:02
  Speaker 7: That's this weekend in Atlanta. Yeah, we're excited. Anyway, all right.
• 31:05
  Speaker 20: A couple of things, too, that happened last night because
• 31:08
  Speaker 20: this was crazy.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: Hang on.
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I've got to ask you this one, though. So Ohio
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: State has to go to USC because that's Big Ten now.
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: And USC is no joke anymore. I mean, it's not
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: Reggie Bush at that point, but I think they're in
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: the top 25 as well.
• 31:28
  Speaker 20: Yeah, and it's shade overrated.
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: Yeah, shade overrated to me.
• 31:32
  Speaker 20: So, yeah, I think Ohio State will handle that one.
• 31:36
  Speaker 7: But, yeah, you've got Minnesota.
• 31:38
  Speaker 20: Here's one of the great games in the Big Ten.
• 31:39
  Speaker 20: You've got Minnesota playing at Indiana.
• 31:43
  Speaker 7: Minnesota's 5-2.
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's going to be a tough one.
• 31:47
  Speaker 20: Yeah, but, I mean, so you're looking at a lot of,
• 31:50
  Speaker 20: you know, what could be this weekend. And, you know,
• 31:54
  Speaker 20: people are saying that Bill Belichick will get Miami. Because, see,
• 31:57
  Speaker 20: it's a trap game. Notre Dame's got Navy, and Miami's
• 32:01
  Speaker 20: got Carolina. So you're thinking two cakewalks because Notre Dame
• 32:04
  Speaker 20: and Miami play next week.
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: And so, you know, they always talk about the trap game.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: Will we be inundated with convicts versus Catholics part three again?
• 32:16
  Speaker 20: Well, it might be a portal thing. It might be
• 32:20
  Speaker 20: a nil dollar, you know, it might be a t-shirt
• 32:23
  Speaker 20: with roster names However, Notre Dame's roster is probably.
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: Just as expensive.
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: Get the guys from the Milwaukee Brewers to go out
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: there for Notre Dame and do the coin toss.
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: I'm glad you said that.
• 32:39
  Speaker 20: Speaking of keg stands, the parade in Milwaukee is at
• 32:43
  Speaker 20: 10 o'clock this morning, ending up at a place called
• 32:46
  Speaker 20: Festival Park.
• 32:47
  Speaker 7: Oh, my God. And MLB is going to carry it live.
• 32:50
  Speaker 7: It's 11 o'clock Eastern, 10 o'clock Central.
• 32:52
  Speaker 3: Did you see the crowd? They sold out Bob Uecker
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: Field or whatever they call it in Milwaukee to watch
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: the game on TV.
• 33:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah. It's crazy.
• 33:02
  Speaker 13: Yeah.
• 33:03
  Speaker 7: But anyway, they say, let's get the parade over with.
• 33:06
  Speaker 7: Let's get on with it.
• 33:07
  Speaker 20: Well, last night, one of the crazier things in the NFL,
• 33:10
  Speaker 20: the Packers beat Carolina 27-19.
• 33:11
  Speaker 7: So Christian Watson.
• 33:15
  Speaker 20: Broke a rib just before 8.30 at night, and there
• 33:18
  Speaker 20: was 9.11 left to go in the second quarter. He
• 33:20
  Speaker 20: was chasing a 53-yard bomb from Jordan Love, fell on his.
• 33:24
  Speaker 7: Elbow, and he broke a rib.
• 33:27
  Speaker 20: He took an ambulance to the hospital, had x-rays, coughed
• 33:30
  Speaker 20: up blood, was back on the field at 9.19, and
• 33:35
  Speaker 20: he caught two more passes.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: He had a one-and-a-half.
• 33:38
  Speaker 20: Yes he had a 113 yard night 25 seconds with Christian.
• 33:43
  Speaker 14: Watson like I was walking off and they were saying
• 33:45
  Speaker 14: like oh you have to go get a CT I
• 33:46
  Speaker 14: was like is there any way that I'll be able
• 33:48
  Speaker 14: to play again if everything checks out and they're like
• 33:50
  Speaker 14: you know we'll see what happens when you get there
• 33:52
  Speaker 14: they ended up saying if you know if everything's clear
• 33:54
  Speaker 14: and I you know pass all the tests or whatever
• 33:55
  Speaker 14: then I'll be able to get back out there but
• 33:56
  Speaker 14: I mean it was it was crazy I don't think
• 33:58
  Speaker 14: I've ever uh You know, I heard of anybody, you know,
• 34:00
  Speaker 14: having cameras on them, you know, coming out of the ambulance,
• 34:03
  Speaker 14: coming back to a game. But, you know, Lambeau welcomed
• 34:06
  Speaker 14: me back with open arms and they saw me running
• 34:07
  Speaker 14: back out. But it was a surreal experience for sure.
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: That's good. That's going to be an NFL films thing. Well,
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: I mean, come on.
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: Christian wants a broken rib.
• 34:16
  Speaker 23: Yeah.
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: If you have it.
• 34:17
  Speaker 8: So.
• 34:18
  Speaker 7: The stat I.
• 34:19
  Speaker 20: Heard this week, talking about the NFL, and it's another
• 34:22
  Speaker 20: big NFL weekend, of course. The stat I heard is
• 34:26
  Speaker 20: that because everybody's just railing on the officials. The holding
• 34:30
  Speaker 20: calls this year are up 100, 100 more. What are they,
• 34:36
  Speaker 20: seven games in week seven? They're up over 100 holding
• 34:41
  Speaker 20: calls over last year.
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: Oh, my gosh.
• 34:42
  Speaker 15: Already.
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: You know, so then.
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: That's that call that... What is it? Most NFL players
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: say you could call holding on every play.
• 34:50
  Speaker 7: On every play. It's just when you choose to. So
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: this brings me to Cam Scataboo. And I meant to
• 34:55
  Speaker 7: say this earlier in the week. He had a... So
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: he was penalized.
• 34:58
  Speaker 20: An offensive player penalized for unnecessary roughness.
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: He's a running back.
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: It was.
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: You know, they had the overtime one against Houston.
• 35:07
  Speaker 20: So he lowered his head into Texas safety MJ Stewart
• 35:10
  Speaker 20: on a seven-yard run and... And Stewart went flying to
• 35:13
  Speaker 20: the ground in this collision. And Scadaboo got the flag. Oh,
• 35:17
  Speaker 20: my gosh. And he was previously fined $ 7, 000.
• 35:22
  Speaker 7: Earlier in the month for illegal contact. So now the
• 35:25
  Speaker 7: officials are watching it.
• 35:26
  Speaker 20: So Scadaboo said, okay, if I play for free, that's
• 35:29
  Speaker 20: the way I'm going to run the ball.
• 35:30
  Speaker 19: Yeah, I'll keep that conversation between us. But I will say, man,
• 35:34
  Speaker 19: the NFL loves to post me. when I do stuff
• 35:37
  Speaker 19: like that, but then also wants to take stuff from me.
• 35:39
  Speaker 19: So I'm going to run the ball like I want
• 35:41
  Speaker 19: to run the ball, and if I'm going to continue
• 35:43
  Speaker 19: to get flagged for it or fined for it, man,
• 35:46
  Speaker 19: I guess I'm going to play for free. I'm going
• 35:48
  Speaker 19: to do what I can to be on this team,
• 35:49
  Speaker 19: to give everything I've got, and if they're going to
• 35:52
  Speaker 19: punish me for that, then I'm just going to keep doing.
• 35:54
  Speaker 15: It, keep playing hard.
• 35:55
  Speaker 7: Instant New York folk hero.
• 35:58
  Speaker 20: Right, where a guy stiff arms a guy in a helmet,
• 36:00
  Speaker 20: you know, hands to the face, you know, all that.
• 36:03
  Speaker 7: I get that.
• 36:03
  Speaker 20: But a running back who gets in a car accident
• 36:07
  Speaker 20: every time he runs the ball 25 times a game.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: 20 times a game. Oh, my gosh, yeah, he is
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: a wrecking ball.
• 36:11
  Speaker 20: And he gets flagged for unnecessary roughness because he lowered
• 36:14
  Speaker 20: his helmet. He's trying to avoid helmet contact. He can't
• 36:18
  Speaker 20: help it if the safety lowers. You know, that's why
• 36:20
  Speaker 20: I think the contact rule– You know, I know they
• 36:22
  Speaker 20: replay them all the time, but, boy, you've got to
• 36:25
  Speaker 20: take an awful deep look into that and a deep
• 36:27
  Speaker 20: dive into it.
• 36:28
  Speaker 19: I mean, an.
• 36:28
  Speaker 7: Offensive guy, he's trying to protect himself.
• 36:32
  Speaker 3: Who was the defensive player that when they were starting
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: to put the in-the-grasp rules in, he suggested just putting
• 36:38
  Speaker 3: the quarterbacks in skirts?
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: Oh, God.
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: I can't remember.
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: Insert, insert.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Reggie White or something.
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: Yeah, insert linebacker here.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: But, I mean, you know, if this is the case,
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: why don't we just put flags on everybody's belt and
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: dispense with the idea of tackle football altogether? They're heading
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: there anyway. Everything I watch, the all-pro game is a
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: flag game. Every commercial is girls playing flag football. I
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: know it's going there. Ten years from now, we're not
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: going to be tackling each other anymore because it's too violent.
• 37:13
  Speaker 20: In front of 18,000, plenty of good seats available. I'll
• 37:17
  Speaker 20: close with this real quick. The Big Ten passed a
• 37:19
  Speaker 20: league-wide rule a couple days ago. It allows schools now
• 37:22
  Speaker 20: to increase the amount of money that can be directed
• 37:24
  Speaker 20: to athletes by about $ 28 million. It's a move made
• 37:28
  Speaker 20: to match similar spending provisions by the Protect College Sports Act,
• 37:32
  Speaker 20: which is not going to be dealt with until December
• 37:34
  Speaker 20: by the House of Representatives because they're absent due to
• 37:37
  Speaker 20: the midterms.
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: And so anyway, the Big Ten says, all right, we'll
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: just pass it now.
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: We'll just try to protect our Big Ten teams. If
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: they're going to make the bucket bigger, I'm just going
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: to get a bigger ladle.
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: Exactly.
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: More chili, baby. Which, by the way, good idea for
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: the weekend. Joe, I will see you. Monday morning bright
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: and early.
• 38:02

• 39:09
  Speaker 21: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch and nitric
• 39:14
  Speaker 21: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

  Speaker 21: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.

  Speaker 21: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 39:36
  Speaker 21: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,

  Speaker 6: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 40:37
  Speaker 6: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 40:42
  Speaker 6: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 40:45
  Speaker 6: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 40:49
  Speaker 6: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 40:53
  Speaker 6: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 40:57
  Speaker 6: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 41:00
  Speaker 6: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.

  Speaker 18: the press, freedom to peaceably assemble freedom to petition the government,

  Speaker 5: It's on.
• 44:11
  Speaker 1: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:14
  Speaker 1: What is that?
• 44:24
  Speaker 3: Host of the Good for America podcast. And, you know,
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: I don't know. You know, there are just some things
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: that are prescient. People say, well, what's your real name, Joe?
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: Because they'll hear a name like Joe Thomas and they'll
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: presume that my name is Elroy Finkelstein and that I
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: had to pick a radio sounding name. And I said, no,
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: I'm actually the fourth in a line of Joe Thomas's. And,
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: you know, when your name is Bob Good and you're
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: going to do a podcast, I think Good for America,
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: although that was your slogan yesterday, When you were a
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: congressional candidate as well, I still have those yard signs
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: in my house. Bob, how are you doing this morning?
• 45:00
  Speaker 1: Doing well, Joe. Happy Friday, my friend.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Happy Friday to you as well. Approaching, you know, and
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: it's interesting here. We're here at our city elders meetings
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: and cityelders.org. If you don't have one where you are,
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: start one. But, you know, these folks were just talking
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: about All Saints Day today. which, of course, is the
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: follow-up to Halloween or All Hallows' Eve. And an important
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: reminder that some of these things, it's not about dressing
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: up like Eliza from some Disney movie or something like that.
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: There are real reasons for some of these holidays, Bob.
• 45:40
  Speaker 5: Indeed there are, and while Halloween is not high on
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: the list, holiday list for me and my family.
• 45:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, we've always enjoyed it over the years.
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: We, you know, enjoyed it as children. We enjoyed it
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: as parents with our children. And now again, with our grandchildren,
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: the fall is my favorite time of year for a
• 45:58
  Speaker 5: number of reasons. I just like the change of the
• 46:00
  Speaker 5: seasons and I love football season. It's my favorite sporting time.
• 46:04
  Speaker 5: And then of course, we've moved into Thanksgiving and to Christmas,
• 46:07
  Speaker 5: which are to the top with Easter, the top three
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: holidays in the good family.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: And I notice behind you, you have a beautiful red tree.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: I was saying to a friend of mine, I think
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: this is the colors in central Virginia have been better.
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: No offense to our friends listening up in New Hampshire
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: that we just discovered yesterday. But the colors in Virginia,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: maybe it's the rain we had over the summer, but
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: have been more vibrant than ever. God's paintbrush has been
• 46:36
  Speaker 3: dipping into all the different colors on his palette.
• 46:40
  Speaker 5: Indeed, we are blessed in Virginia to be able to
• 46:43
  Speaker 5: enjoy all the seasons, you and I being fellow Virginians here.
• 46:46
  Speaker 5: And also, it is, as you said, the creation of
• 46:49
  Speaker 5: the Lord, what he made for us, and I believe
• 46:52
  Speaker 5: the biblical account of six literal creation days. I think
• 46:56
  Speaker 5: the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on society is the hoax
• 46:59
  Speaker 5: of evolution.
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, talk about that, because we learn more
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: about some of those folks. And as we approach, and
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: I want to talk about, you've been working very hard
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: in your campaign to get folks to go out and
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: vote no, which has got to be different from a politician.
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: You know, you're always saying, vote for me, and now
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: it's vote against this terrible amendment that's going to turn
• 47:22
  Speaker 3: everyone into criminals if you just speak your mind, which
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: to me is as un-American a concept as there can be.
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: But a reminder, I mean, these trees like this and
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: the changes of season, they have nothing to do with government,
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: despite whether or not we have daylight savings time or not.
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: Well, yes, God's created order progresses with or without the
• 47:45
  Speaker 5: involvement of government. Obviously, it's unnecessary. It reminds us how
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: small we are. how blessed we are to enjoy the
• 47:54
  Speaker 5: life that God has given us. But the most important
• 47:57
  Speaker 5: thing in life is to be prepared for death, to
• 47:59
  Speaker 5: be prepared for eternity, because the Bible tells us we
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: spend eternity in one of two places, and that God
• 48:04
  Speaker 5: has made a way through His Son, our Savior, our
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: Lord Jesus Christ.
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: So catch us up on the campaign as you work
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: trying to get folks to vote no against some of
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: these horrific constitutional amendments that are going to turn us
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: all into criminals. simply for having a different opinion?
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: Yeah, we launched this Virginia conservative action, as you know,
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: in July. We announced it, I should say, in July.
• 48:31
  Speaker 5: We launched it roughly August 1, a three-month sprint to
• 48:35
  Speaker 5: try to do as much as we could to inform
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: Virginians about the fact that these amendments were on the ballot,
• 48:41
  Speaker 5: number one, and the harm that they would do and
• 48:43
  Speaker 5: the need to vote no, and the need to vote generally.
• 48:47
  Speaker 5: that irrespective of party or irrespective of enthusiasm for candidates
• 48:53
  Speaker 5: or particular elected officials, that the consequence of these elections
• 48:56
  Speaker 5: would last for generations. And it's very difficult to change
• 49:00
  Speaker 5: the Constitution, as you know, and it's very difficult to
• 49:03
  Speaker 5: change it back. And these these amendments would do great
• 49:07
  Speaker 5: harm to religious freedom, to parents, to families, to young children.
• 49:11
  Speaker 5: And so I've spoken in some 30 states. plus churches
• 49:15
  Speaker 5: over the past few weeks. There'll be another church in
• 49:17
  Speaker 5: Dandle this Sunday. many other organizations and groups throughout the week,
• 49:22
  Speaker 5: not just Sunday mornings. And just trying to add our
• 49:25
  Speaker 5: voice to do our part, virginiaconservativeaction.org is the website, virginiaconservativeaction.org.
• 49:31
  Speaker 5: I want to do everything we can to try to
• 49:32
  Speaker 5: get folks to vote, to be registered, to vote. to
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: vote no three times on November 30th.
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: Well, you got ahead of me. I was going to
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: make sure you gave the website out there for people
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: to learn more. But the danger in this, because this
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: is presidential. I mean, I remember, you know, when, you know,
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: Safe But Rare was the campaign, you know, for pro-abortion.
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: And these things go incrementally. And if we allow bills,
• 49:57
  Speaker 3: wherever they are, to turn criminals into dissenters, I mean,
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: I think you and I are both followers of the
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: branch of the faith that starts when Martin Luther says, hey,
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: we can print these Bibles in somebody's language and let
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: them take them home with them. And yet every time
• 50:13
  Speaker 3: I mention, I just got a, I mentioned this the
• 50:16
  Speaker 3: other day and somebody sent me an AI generated image
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: of Martin Luther sitting next to Jeffrey Epstein. So there's always,
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: you know, opinions of, you know, where someone is. You mentioned,
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: you know, radical Islamists and somebody will send me a
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: clip of somebody talking about the Crusades. But all that
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: will become criminalized if we allow these bills to become passed,
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: because once the government determines this is dogma, anyone who
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: says anything else, once we set this precedent with these bills,
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: it's fair game.
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: Yes.
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: In short, what they want to do is to make
• 50:55
  Speaker 5: put you in legal jeopardy, essentially to be able to
• 50:57
  Speaker 5: put you in jail for infringing on abortion or discriminating
• 51:03
  Speaker 5: against or treating differently homosexual marriage. That's the gist of
• 51:06
  Speaker 5: these two amendments. But Joe, I want to return comment
• 51:09
  Speaker 5: on what you said a moment ago, because you're really
• 51:11
  Speaker 5: hitting the point home. The Dems used to stand for,
• 51:14
  Speaker 5: as you said, safe, legal, and rare. Let's limit abortion.
• 51:17
  Speaker 5: But if you drill down here and you go to
• 51:19
  Speaker 5: the most base level, if there is What is the
• 51:23
  Speaker 5: reason to limit abortion, to restrict abortion, to have any, again,
• 51:28
  Speaker 5: limitations or restrictions on it whatsoever, except to protect the
• 51:31
  Speaker 5: life of the child? So if there is a basis
• 51:35
  Speaker 5: or a reason to limit it or restrict it because
• 51:37
  Speaker 5: we recognize that it is a life worthy of protection,
• 51:42
  Speaker 5: then that should trump everything. That should trump everything. So
• 51:45
  Speaker 5: the Democrat party, the left, the pro-abortion, the pro-death left,
• 51:49
  Speaker 5: if you will, has... long moved from that limitations, restrictions,
• 51:55
  Speaker 5: where now they don't, Abigail Spanberger, they don't believe in
• 51:58
  Speaker 5: any restrictions on abortion because they don't want to recognize
• 52:02
  Speaker 5: the life that deserves and requires protection for the full
• 52:08
  Speaker 5: force of the law because that life is precious and
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: it is life.
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: And I think, and I know that people roll their
• 52:15
  Speaker 3: eyes when I make the case that if you wanted
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: to watch politicians rush to defend unborn babies, give each
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: unborn baby a proxy vote. Number one, you would find
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: that the moment of conception will be when that proxy
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: vote becomes active. You'll have a land rush of politicians
• 52:34
  Speaker 3: out to vote. Because I think, you know, cravenly, and
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: I hate myself for feeling this way, but, you know,
• 52:40
  Speaker 3: evidence is clear. to me that they're only protecting the
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: people who they think are going to vote for them
• 52:47
  Speaker 3: the next election cycle.
• 52:48
  Speaker 12: Recording in progress.
