• 0:18
  Speaker 4: 11 o'clock reading.
• 0:19
  Speaker 5: Joe works hard to steal me up, works damn near
• 0:22
  Speaker 5: every day.
• 0:24
  Speaker 6: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops the
• 0:27
  Speaker 6: kids to school and on the way.
• 0:28
  Speaker 7: No.
• 0:30
  Speaker 8: I have a great.
• 0:31
  Speaker 9: Idea for non-traditional revenue.
• 0:34
  Speaker 10: I'm going to rent out my chair.
• 0:50
  Speaker 11: Here as we broadcast live from Common Ground, our City
• 0:53
  Speaker 11: Elders meeting. I love to see a packed house here
• 0:55
  Speaker 11: for City Elders. CityEldersVA.org is our host, but City Elders,
• 1:02
  Speaker 11: as a rule, is who you should have. Our host, Kevin,
• 1:05
  Speaker 11: said if you want to start a City Elders branch
• 1:08
  Speaker 11: where you are, and these are the folks who are
• 1:10
  Speaker 11: trying to get Ethically rooted people, people of faith elected
• 1:15
  Speaker 11: into office so that, you know, when the when the
• 1:18
  Speaker 11: bad compromises come along, you you are ready and the
• 1:23
  Speaker 11: folks are ready for that this morning. Pact House, Winsome Sears,
• 1:27
  Speaker 11: former lieutenant governor of the Commonwealth is coming. It's funny,
• 1:31
  Speaker 11: if she had crowds like this when she was running
• 1:34
  Speaker 11: for governor, she might actually be governor of Virginia.
• 1:37
  Speaker 12: But I digress. Bob Good was on with us.
• 1:39
  Speaker 11: Bob, of course, the Virginia conservatives fighting against these constitutional
• 1:45
  Speaker 11: amendments as well. But I wanted to hold on to
• 1:48
  Speaker 11: you through the news, Bob, before we get to our
• 1:50
  Speaker 11: first things. Bob, I wanted to ask you a question
• 1:54
  Speaker 11: before I let you go. It's based on a listener
• 1:57
  Speaker 11: called me yesterday and said, consider what they're trying to
• 2:01
  Speaker 11: amend in the Constitution with the abortion amendment. And it
• 2:05
  Speaker 11: was a fascinating turn because I've published the details of
• 2:09
  Speaker 11: the amendment, but it didn't strike me to look at
• 2:11
  Speaker 11: what part of the Constitution they're seeking to amend. It's
• 2:15
  Speaker 11: section 11 of Article 1, which is the due process
• 2:20
  Speaker 11: portion of our Constitution. So it's saying that the Unborn
• 2:24
  Speaker 11: child will have his due process or her due process
• 2:29
  Speaker 11: eliminated by this amendment. And the opportunity in there that
• 2:33
  Speaker 11: I think is is important is when we win this.
• 2:36
  Speaker 11: And I'm pretty sure we're going to win this electorally.
• 2:40
  Speaker 11: Could we then take that?
• 2:43
  Speaker 13: Tell.
• 2:44
  Speaker 11: These folks have obviously decided that the unborn child has
• 2:47
  Speaker 11: due process. They wouldn't be trying to take it away
• 2:50
  Speaker 11: from them and turn that into a big victory for
• 2:54
  Speaker 11: the pro-life and the safety of these babies. What do
• 2:57
  Speaker 11: you think about that?
• 2:58
  Speaker 14: Well, that's a great point. And that's something that we
• 3:02
  Speaker 14: should obviously look into and try to build upon if
• 3:04
  Speaker 14: we're successful in defeating this. We've got a culture of
• 3:07
  Speaker 14: death in this country where we're aborting 1.1 million children annually,
• 3:13
  Speaker 14: the leading cause of death in this country, and this
• 3:16
  Speaker 14: devaluing of children up to the moment of birth. is
• 3:19
  Speaker 14: connected to what just took place in Massachusetts, what's taking
• 3:22
  Speaker 14: place now, where 11 out of 12 jurors sided with
• 3:26
  Speaker 14: the mother in her emotional, psychological, mental duress that she
• 3:30
  Speaker 14: supposedly was under that contributed to or led to her
• 3:33
  Speaker 14: making the decision to kill her three.
• 3:35
  Speaker 12: Morning 69 degrees in Harrison. I'm sorry, what was that
• 3:39
  Speaker 12: that led to her?
• 3:41
  Speaker 14: Her decision to kill her three precious children and the
• 3:44
  Speaker 14: fact that it's controversial as to what the consequence should
• 3:48
  Speaker 14: be to her for what she's done or whether or
• 3:50
  Speaker 14: not she should be held to any consequence is connected
• 3:53
  Speaker 14: to this culture of death that's been perpetrated through abortion
• 3:56
  Speaker 14: in this country.
• 3:57
  Speaker 11: Hearts and minds. That's almost half of it. I see
• 4:00
  Speaker 11: these women, and there are not a lot of them.
• 4:02
  Speaker 11: There were 20 or 30 women along the road leading
• 4:05
  Speaker 11: into the courthouse cheering for this woman, but that's 20
• 4:08
  Speaker 11: more than there should have been cheering for it.
• 4:10
  Speaker 14: 11 out of 12 jurors. There's the stat that we
• 4:13
  Speaker 14: know that is concrete. 11 out of 12 jurors. So
• 4:16
  Speaker 14: 90 percent plus sided with the woman instead of bringing
• 4:21
  Speaker 14: consequence to the woman for killing these children.
• 4:24
  Speaker 12: God bless you, sir.
• 4:24
  Speaker 11: Thank you for joining us. I appreciate it, sir. You
• 4:27
  Speaker 11: have a great morning and we'll see you again very soon.
• 4:29
  Speaker 15: Thank you, buddy.
• 4:38
  Speaker 12: It is time for our first things this morning.
• 4:40
  Speaker 11: Again, thanks to Bob Good for visiting with us there.
• 4:44
  Speaker 11: The stories we're covering for you this morning. Rand Paul
• 4:48
  Speaker 11: blocked John Kennedy as two Republicans battled over a kill
• 4:52
  Speaker 11: switch for artificial intelligence. Kennedy had sought unanimous consent on
• 4:56
  Speaker 11: Wednesday to pass a narrowly tailored proposal, according to his office.
• 5:01
  Speaker 11: But Senator Paul from Kentucky warned that Congress would move
• 5:05
  Speaker 11: too quickly to impose sanctions. restrictions before understanding the technology.
• 5:11
  Speaker 11: The Trump administration has approved a $ 24. 3 billion sale of

• 5:22
  Speaker 11: Federal Judge Thursday ordered the Kennedy Center to provide his
• 5:26
  Speaker 11: office 30 days' notice before making any physical changes to
• 5:30
  Speaker 11: the building, including demolition. Venezuelan authorities have arrested opposition Mayor
• 5:37
  Speaker 11: Javier Orpeza when he returned to the country from exile
• 5:41
  Speaker 11: hoping to face political liberalization as promised by Delce Rodriguez's government.
• 5:48
  Speaker 11: The United Nations fact-finding mission's allegations that the U.S. may
• 5:52
  Speaker 11: have committed war crimes based in an investigation from a
• 5:57
  Speaker 11: February incident cannot be conclusive, but the Human Rights Commission
• 6:03
  Speaker 11: has issued its first findings, which is a finding of, well,
• 6:08
  Speaker 11: we really haven't found anything yet there. So those are
• 6:13
  Speaker 11: some of our first things this morning here on the
• 6:17
  Speaker 11: Talk Media Network.
• 6:18
  Speaker 12: 434-882-4217 is our phone number.

• 6:52
  Speaker 16: your new holiday tradition starts here. December 16th, John Paul
• 6:57
  Speaker 16: Jones Arena, Charlottesville. Tickets on sale Friday at 10 a.m.
• 7:01
  Speaker 18: Let's see, if something costs less, a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 18: people are actually happier with it, that sounds like something
• 7:07
  Speaker 18: to look into.
• 7:09
  Speaker 1: And that's MediShare.
• 7:10
  Speaker 18: Maybe you've heard joining MediShare can save you or your
• 7:12
  Speaker 18: family up to $ 500 a month, and that's huge. But
• 7:16
  Speaker 18: it's also true. People are just happier with it. They
• 7:18
  Speaker 18: love being part of something that reflects and promotes their
• 7:21
  Speaker 18: values and what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 12: MediShare works, too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 18: It's been around for 30 years now, and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 18: shared more than $ 7 billion of each other's bills. People
• 7:31
  Speaker 18: love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network. So, yeah, really,
• 7:36
  Speaker 18: you can save a ton and like it better. Imagine
• 7:38
  Speaker 18: being happy with how you're taking care of your health care,
• 7:41
  Speaker 18: whether you're self-employed or part of the gig economy, or
• 7:43
  Speaker 18: you just want a plan that you're happy with.
• 7:46
  Speaker 12: Here you go.
• 7:46
  Speaker 18: You can call right now and get a price within
• 7:48
  Speaker 18: two minutes. A very, very smart use of two minutes.
• 7:51
  Speaker 18: Here's the number you need.
• 7:52
  Speaker 12: It's 855-SHARE-40.
• 7:53
  Speaker 19: 855-S-H-A-R-E-40.
• 7:53
  Speaker 12: 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: I'm Dr.
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: Mitch.
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 8:20
  Speaker 4: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 8:24
  Speaker 4: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer, or at
• 8:43
  Speaker 4: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances
• 8:47
  Speaker 4: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 8:58
  Speaker 4: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.
• 9:02
  Speaker 20: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 9:05
  Speaker 20: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 9:10
  Speaker 20: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 9:13
  Speaker 20: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 9:17
  Speaker 20: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 9:21
  Speaker 20: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 9:26
  Speaker 20: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 9:29
  Speaker 20: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 9:33
  Speaker 20: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 9:38
  Speaker 20: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 9:42
  Speaker 20: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 9:46
  Speaker 20: enforcement arm, the Office of the Inspector General, at oig.ssa.gov.
• 9:53
  Speaker 20: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 9:59
  Speaker 21: Hi, everybody.
• 9:59
  Speaker 12: I'm Jack Hanson.
• 10:00
  Speaker 22: Since I was a boy growing up on a farm
• 10:02
  Speaker 22: in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only
• 10:05
  Speaker 22: in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also their
• 10:07
  Speaker 22: tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who gather
• 10:10
  Speaker 22: supplies to build nests or Swiss foxes who work hard
• 10:13
  Speaker 22: to provide for their young. Or penguins, who travel up
• 10:16
  Speaker 22: to 500 miles to secure food for their families. Or
• 10:19
  Speaker 22: bush babies, whose impressive jump allows them to navigate the
• 10:22
  Speaker 22: trees and the wild in search of fruit.
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: This remarkable work.
• 10:24
  Speaker 22: Ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines. We
• 10:28
  Speaker 22: know dogs are our wonderful pets at home, but because
• 10:31
  Speaker 22: of their acute senses, they also perform life-saving work every day.
• 10:35
  Speaker 22: Dogs keep us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans,
• 10:37
  Speaker 22: some of whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics,
• 10:40
  Speaker 22: alerting them when there's a change in their blood chemistry.
• 10:43
  Speaker 22: Working dogs have a variety of highly trained roles that
• 10:45
  Speaker 22: contribute to society and help those in need. So please
• 10:48
  Speaker 22: join me and American Humane in supporting our heroic working
• 10:51
  Speaker 22: dogs and all the amazing animals on this planet we
• 10:54
  Speaker 22: inhabit together. Go to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.
• 10:59
  Speaker 19: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 23: Oh, yeah?
• 11:02
  Speaker 19: Yeah, he's starting with the woots. And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 17: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 11:10
  Speaker 17: Heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 12: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 19: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 11:15
  Speaker 15: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 11:18
  Speaker 15: somebody call me a ride.
• 11:19
  Speaker 19: Love that guy.
• 11:20
  Speaker 17: Me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs? Call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 13: it's time to go home. Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 3: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 3: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 11:59
  Speaker 3: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 12:11
  Speaker 3: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 12:18

  Speaker 3: A tip from the Federal Trade Commission. the nation's consumer
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: protection agency.
• 12:30
  Speaker 6: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 6: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 6: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:41
  Speaker 6: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 6: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories
• 12:49
  Speaker 6: at maketheconnection.net and learn how you can support the veterans
• 12:53
  Speaker 6: in your life. Treatment works. Recovery is possible.
• 13:13
  Speaker 2: This is Independence from Virginia. Again, first thing today, by
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:21
  Speaker 9: Working five to nine, making something of your own now.
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: And it feels so fine to build a business from
• 13:29
  Speaker 9: your know-how. Wanna move ahead, and there's nothing that you
• 13:34
  Speaker 9: can't do. Can you listen to that little voice inside you?
• 13:39
  Speaker 12: Yeah, that's me.
• 13:41
  Speaker 7: Five to nine, you've got passion and a vision.
• 13:43
  Speaker 12: Amen to that.
• 13:45
  Speaker 11: That's what we do here every day, hustling for you
• 13:49
  Speaker 11: to serve you. And then your reward for us is
• 13:52
  Speaker 11: simply if you need something that one of our sponsors purviews,
• 13:57
  Speaker 11: then stop by and give them a visit. They're at 434-882-4217,
• 14:04
  Speaker 11: our number. But, you know, a lot of folks, it
• 14:07
  Speaker 11: is the day, you know, is the midterms. So many, oh,
• 14:12
  Speaker 11: it's the midterms, it's the midterms. The midterms begin today.
• 14:15
  Speaker 12: And you say, no, it doesn't.
• 14:17
  Speaker 11: Voting begins in the Commonwealth of Virginia today. Election Day
• 14:22
  Speaker 11: is upon us. And like all national holidays, it must
• 14:27
  Speaker 11: be grasped and dealt with and examined for all its reality.
• 14:31
  Speaker 11: Here in Virginia, with the unfortunate happenstance in the High
• 14:37
  Speaker 11: Rocks race over this past weekend, I'm comparing... This 45-day
• 14:43
  Speaker 11: endurance race to that, and I just hope we don't
• 14:45
  Speaker 11: have the kind of horrific ending that the winner of
• 14:48
  Speaker 11: the most recent High Rocks race in China did. But
• 14:52
  Speaker 11: 45 days, it is a marathon.
• 14:55
  Speaker 12: Most of my.
• 14:56
  Speaker 11: Friends in political office are braced for it. A lot
• 15:01
  Speaker 11: of folks in the election board, boy, they are strained
• 15:04
  Speaker 11: to the maximum already. And it's only just beginning because
• 15:08
  Speaker 11: they don't know when they're going to get time to
• 15:11
  Speaker 11: do anything over the next few months as we have
• 15:15
  Speaker 11: this 45-day voting period. The upside, ever since we enacted
• 15:20
  Speaker 11: a 45-day voting window, our turnouts have gone down every year.
• 15:23
  Speaker 11: Seems like the easier they make it to vote, the
• 15:26
  Speaker 11: fewer people show up to vote.
• 15:28
  Speaker 12: That might be good news for you.
• 15:30
  Speaker 11: Your vote can count maybe as one whole vote if
• 15:33
  Speaker 11: nobody else shows up to dilute it that's not a citizen.
• 15:36
  Speaker 11: What did Governor Spanberger admit to? 300,000 People would be
• 15:41
  Speaker 11: kicked off the voter rolls if the Save America Act
• 15:44
  Speaker 11: ever was passed.
• 15:45
  Speaker 6: Hmm.
• 15:45
  Speaker 11: I wonder where she gets numbers like that. Joining us,
• 15:49
  Speaker 11: somebody who's going to have a busy 45 days as well,
• 15:53
  Speaker 11: she and her team at the Family Foundation, Victoria Cobb,
• 15:57
  Speaker 11: back on the program. Victoria, thank you so much for
• 16:00
  Speaker 11: taking a little time out with us.
• 16:02
  Speaker 12: How are you doing?
• 16:04
  Speaker 19: Doing great. Glad to be here. And, yep, voting has begun.
• 16:07
  Speaker 19: Aren't we excited?
• 16:07
  Speaker 8: Yeah.
• 16:08
  Speaker 11: Well, you know, and look up your registrar. That's where
• 16:10
  Speaker 11: it's going to be. Or you can do your no
• 16:13
  Speaker 11: excuse mail in balloting, which, again, is another thing that
• 16:16
  Speaker 11: just drives me insane because, you know, we had what
• 16:21
  Speaker 11: I thought would be a majority of Republicans. But then
• 16:24
  Speaker 11: when the majority of Republicans don't want to all stand behind, oh,
• 16:29
  Speaker 11: I don't know, making sure every valid voter are the
• 16:31
  Speaker 11: ones who are casting the votes. I don't know what
• 16:34
  Speaker 11: we're where we're going to turn, Victoria.
• 16:37
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I think that's incredibly disappointing that we can't just
• 16:39
  Speaker 21: get clear. Honestly, it should be a bipartisan thing that
• 16:42
  Speaker 21: the people who should vote vote and only those people
• 16:45
  Speaker 21: and they vote once.
• 16:46
  Speaker 19: And they vote on time. It doesn't seem that complicated.
• 16:49
  Speaker 12: It wasn't.
• 16:49
  Speaker 11: I mean, gosh, they've managed to figure it out in
• 16:52
  Speaker 11: the 18th century, but we keep messing around with stuff.
• 16:56
  Speaker 12: Where do you think we are?
• 16:58
  Speaker 11: Because my question is, and I really feel like the
• 17:02
  Speaker 11: driver of voter turnout, especially amongst conservatives is. is going
• 17:06
  Speaker 11: to be the constitutional amendments more than even the midterm elections.
• 17:12
  Speaker 11: What are you hearing? What are you sensing? What are
• 17:14
  Speaker 11: your team telling you about voter enthusiasm for this midterm
• 17:19
  Speaker 11: election with the constitutional amendment on the side?
• 17:24
  Speaker 21: Well, I certainly think to the more principled side of
• 17:29
  Speaker 21: the party, the people that vote first and primarily on
• 17:33
  Speaker 21: issues and secondarily just about sort of party affiliation, I
• 17:36
  Speaker 21: think it is going to be the constitutional amendments that
• 17:38
  Speaker 21: drive them.
• 17:39
  Speaker 19: And that's actually probably on both sides, to be honest.
• 17:41
  Speaker 21: The more extreme left you are on abortion and those
• 17:44
  Speaker 21: kind of things is also going to drive the left.
• 17:47
  Speaker 21: And I think that's simply because we have a lot
• 17:49
  Speaker 21: of districts in Virginia that are not as competitive on
• 17:52
  Speaker 21: the congressional race. The Senate race is not shaping up
• 17:55
  Speaker 21: yet to be as competitive as obviously some would like it.
• 17:58
  Speaker 21: So I think it is other than the first and
• 18:00
  Speaker 21: the second, which are congressional districts that are really key
• 18:03
  Speaker 21: targets nationally and pretty competitive. I think you will find
• 18:08
  Speaker 21: that it's going to be certainly for conservatives, for Christians,
• 18:12
  Speaker 21: you know, issues of abortion and same sex marriage and transgenderism.
• 18:16
  Speaker 19: Those are going to be driving forces.
• 18:18
  Speaker 12: Is it good?
• 18:19
  Speaker 11: Because often in these cases, it's groups like the Family
• 18:23
  Speaker 11: Foundation that are carrying the water on this, where you
• 18:26
  Speaker 11: have some notable political expertise out in a traditional style campaign,
• 18:34
  Speaker 11: although they're not running for office like Winsome Sears and
• 18:40
  Speaker 11: Bob Good running campaigns, but specifically to defeat these constitutional amendments?
• 18:48
  Speaker 19: Well, in some ways, I would say we'll take all
• 18:50
  Speaker 19: the help we can get.
• 18:51
  Speaker 8: Right.
• 18:51
  Speaker 21: So those of us that are in favor of the
• 18:53
  Speaker 21: vote no side of these amendments, you know, the funding
• 18:56
  Speaker 21: is low.
• 18:57
  Speaker 19: And the reality is we need to track a lot
• 19:00
  Speaker 19: of ground across Virginia.
• 19:01
  Speaker 21: So anyone helping really create events and create reasons for
• 19:05
  Speaker 21: people to learn about these and places where they can.
• 19:08
  Speaker 19: That's helpful.
• 19:10
  Speaker 21: So, yeah, you are seeing some folks that aren't in
• 19:11
  Speaker 21: elected office anymore participating in this.
• 19:14
  Speaker 19: And we are grateful for that.
• 19:16
  Speaker 21: You know, they're going to hit a certain audience and
• 19:19
  Speaker 21: we're going to hit a certain audience. And, you know,
• 19:21
  Speaker 21: every elected official that's out there, I mean, there are
• 19:24
  Speaker 21: a lot of them that actually are speaking about it.
• 19:26
  Speaker 21: They're hitting a different audience. So the goal is just
• 19:29
  Speaker 21: collectively that we have engaged enough people where the enthusiasm
• 19:35
  Speaker 21: and energy is high enough to really drive out elections.
• 19:39
  Speaker 19: Virginians are tired of elections. We have them every year.
• 19:42
  Speaker 21: This year we had redistricting elections. So we had this
• 19:45
  Speaker 21: disastrous election situation in April. I think we are, and
• 19:48
  Speaker 21: you know, when you turn it into 45 days for
• 19:51
  Speaker 21: voting and that's for, you know, you've got primaries, you've
• 19:53
  Speaker 21: got generals, you've got this redistricting that we already had.
• 19:56
  Speaker 21: So people, I mean, there's just not that many days
• 19:57
  Speaker 21: we don't have elections in Virginia. And so people are
• 20:00
  Speaker 21: exhausted and we don't want the fatigue to take over
• 20:04
  Speaker 21: the desire to get our constitution right.
• 20:07
  Speaker 19: And I think that message is paramount.
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: I think those who want these amendments to pass and
• 20:13
  Speaker 11: want to flip the House of Representatives are on the
• 20:17
  Speaker 11: side of weariness. Let's make the conservatives weary. Let's make
• 20:22
  Speaker 11: them dispirited. And we are here frequently. Victoria Cobb is
• 20:28
  Speaker 11: on with us from the Family Foundation. I was looking
• 20:30
  Speaker 11: at some VPAP numbers, Virginia Public Access Project, $ 2. 8 million
• 20:35
  Speaker 11: for the pro-abortion project. campaigns to under 500,000. But we've
• 20:43
  Speaker 11: been here before. We are frequently on the horrifically underfunded
• 20:48
  Speaker 11: side of issues, yet we hold our own, don't we, Victoria?
• 20:52
  Speaker 19: Yeah, it's kind of remarkable. I mean, we are always outfunded.
• 20:54
  Speaker 21: And, you know, I wish that would change in terms
• 20:57
  Speaker 21: of the issues that I care about.
• 21:00
  Speaker 19: Certainly every referendum fight. But, you know, I look at
• 21:02
  Speaker 19: the most recent ones that we've had. I mean, I
• 21:06
  Speaker 19: guess we'll start with redistricting.
• 21:07
  Speaker 21: We were deeply outfunded on our side of, you know,
• 21:10
  Speaker 21: those of us that were not in favor of what
• 21:12
  Speaker 21: they called fair maps, which we know were not fair.
• 21:15
  Speaker 21: We were way outfunded there. And I, you know, although
• 21:17
  Speaker 21: we didn't get the result we wanted, that was a
• 21:20
  Speaker 21: really close margin. So the funding, certainly the margin didn't
• 21:23
  Speaker 21: equate to the funding gap. And then I would say
• 21:26
  Speaker 21: the same thing, even in better suits in the last
• 21:30
  Speaker 21: couple of referendums we've had on gambling is Family Foundation
• 21:33
  Speaker 21: has been involved in two, trying to beat back casinos
• 21:37
  Speaker 21: in local areas, and in both cases, deeply, deeply outspent,
• 21:41
  Speaker 21: and we won in both cases. So it's not always
• 21:44
  Speaker 21: about the money, although without enough money, getting your message
• 21:48
  Speaker 21: out is very difficult, and in particular, countering the lies.
• 21:53
  Speaker 12: Without question.
• 21:54
  Speaker 11: As a matter of fact, I'm going on Newsmax today
• 21:56
  Speaker 11: at 10 to talk about money issues. in politics with
• 21:59
  Speaker 11: Scott Walker, the former senator.

  Speaker 7: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage, National Lead Trainer for Planet Fitness,
• 22:05

• 22:08
  Speaker 7: at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity in a
• 22:12
  Speaker 7: week's time. But here's the thing, that 150 minutes does
• 22:15
  Speaker 7: not need to be super intense. As a matter of fact,
• 22:17
  Speaker 7: it could just be you moving your body and doing
• 22:20
  Speaker 7: what you already love to do, like exercise. And a
• 22:22
  Speaker 7: stronger heart doesn't just mean cardio, right? It means also

  Speaker 24: For decades, America's offshore oil industry has relied on Port Fouchon, Louisiana.
• 23:02

• 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 proud to be a
• 23:16
  Speaker 24: part of that.
• 23:17

  Speaker 4: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: I'm Dr.
• 24:13
  Speaker 12: Mitch.
• 24:14
  Speaker 4: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 24:20
  Speaker 4: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 24:39
  Speaker 4: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer. or at
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: least slow the spread of cancer, and in many instances,
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 28:23
  Speaker 11: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 28:25
  Speaker 11: this morning here, coming to us from our city elders
• 28:29
  Speaker 11: meeting and every week out here to promote this idea,
• 28:33
  Speaker 11: this concept, pushing back on the silly notion that there
• 28:37
  Speaker 11: is some confrontation between church and state and faithful people,
• 28:42
  Speaker 11: people who understand where your rights come from, Senator Cain.
• 28:49
  Speaker 11: And are ready to defend those rights. And the thing
• 28:53
  Speaker 11: about government being simple, and I'm going to tie this
• 28:57
  Speaker 11: into my call to repeal the 1929 Virginia Act for
• 29:01
  Speaker 11: permanent apportionment so we actually get congressional representation the way
• 29:05
  Speaker 11: our founders wanted it to be. Smaller districts, smaller populations
• 29:10
  Speaker 11: within each congressperson. And People say, well, that's going to
• 29:15
  Speaker 11: be a really big Congress. And I said, yes, and
• 29:17
  Speaker 11: if we can get Congress off this mania where they're
• 29:21
  Speaker 11: out there trying to manipulate our economy and do these things,
• 29:25
  Speaker 11: we push back on this. It becomes more likely that
• 29:28
  Speaker 11: we get people in these halls that are listening to
• 29:31
  Speaker 11: that message of leave us alone, let us do. And
• 29:36
  Speaker 11: and that's the important thing that's that's the important thing
• 29:39
  Speaker 11: that we get back to is we need to put
• 29:42
  Speaker 11: back the perversion of the Commerce Clause and we got
• 29:46
  Speaker 11: to put back a lot of things that have been
• 29:49
  Speaker 11: allowed to have happened but the best part is nobody's
• 29:53
  Speaker 11: had the guts to throw out the Constitution just celebrated
• 29:57
  Speaker 11: its 237th 39th anniversary and yesterday, and no document on
• 30:05
  Speaker 11: the history of Earth has created a liberty-based country that's
• 30:09
  Speaker 11: lasted as long as we have. Now, we're trying. We're
• 30:12
  Speaker 11: trying to kill it. Guys like Tim Kaine, they're out
• 30:15
  Speaker 11: there trying to do her in. But there's folks like
• 30:18
  Speaker 11: Winsome Earl Sears, a former lieutenant governor who's up, speaking
• 30:22
  Speaker 11: to this particular city elders group right now. But having
• 30:26
  Speaker 11: people who know where right and wrong comes from, not
• 30:33
  Speaker 11: where I can pretend that you have the right to
• 30:36
  Speaker 11: something like housing, health care. These are all things that
• 30:41
  Speaker 11: you want to be able to find housing. You want
• 30:42
  Speaker 11: to be able to find and get health care and
• 30:45
  Speaker 11: those sorts of things. But you don't have a right
• 30:48
  Speaker 11: to walk in. And this goes into what we were
• 30:51
  Speaker 11: talking about with these constitutional amendments and watch out for
• 30:54
  Speaker 11: them coming to your neighborhood because they're about compelling people.
• 30:58
  Speaker 11: They're about saying that if you do not comply, it's
• 31:02
  Speaker 11: not about do you allow gay marriage or do you
• 31:05
  Speaker 11: allow felons to have their rights back or do you
• 31:09
  Speaker 11: allow for abortion right up to the moment of birth.
• 31:12
  Speaker 11: It's if you stand in the way of it. If
• 31:15
  Speaker 11: you don't support it, if you don't go along with it,
• 31:18
  Speaker 11: you can go to jail. You can be sanctioned. And
• 31:21
  Speaker 11: that is a patently un-American thing. Visiting with Victoria Cobb
• 31:26
  Speaker 11: Family Foundation. FamilyFoundation.org. We talked about the lies because as
• 31:34
  Speaker 11: long as you don't tell people where the law is going,
• 31:40
  Speaker 11: it's easier to get their support. But are people catching
• 31:44
  Speaker 11: on as you travel around talking to folks that this
• 31:48
  Speaker 11: is what they're about? They're not telling you what the
• 31:51
  Speaker 11: is is?
• 31:53
  Speaker 21: Well, and that's the thing I think a lot of
• 31:54
  Speaker 21: Virginians don't realize is that ultimately the ballot language, which
• 31:58
  Speaker 21: is different than what literally will go into the Constitution,
• 32:00
  Speaker 21: it is approved by the General Assembly. So the same
• 32:02
  Speaker 21: people that brought you the terrible amendments and handed you
• 32:07
  Speaker 21: this choice to make Virginia literally the worst place for
• 32:11
  Speaker 21: abortion in the country. The people who brought us that
• 32:13
  Speaker 21: are also the same people who are handing us a
• 32:16
  Speaker 21: summary that tries to drive our vote in a certain direction.
• 32:20
  Speaker 21: And I don't know. It's interesting with redistricting. We certainly
• 32:24
  Speaker 21: I think people became aware of that. And I think
• 32:26
  Speaker 21: that is helpful because I think they're going to be
• 32:28
  Speaker 21: a little bit more wary of what they're seeing on
• 32:30
  Speaker 21: the ballot in the summary.
• 32:32
  Speaker 19: And the abortion one in particular is so.
• 32:35
  Speaker 21: Absolutely fraudulent that we do have litigation going on that
• 32:38
  Speaker 21: because a voter should have the right to not be
• 32:41
  Speaker 21: deceived by those that are putting something into our hands
• 32:45
  Speaker 21: to vote on.
• 32:45
  Speaker 19: We should know what we're voting for.
• 32:47
  Speaker 21: And I think that seems like a very reasonable fundamental
• 32:50
  Speaker 21: right in a representative democracy where we have to make
• 32:53
  Speaker 21: critical decisions where we, I mean, we literally become the
• 32:56
  Speaker 21: lawmakers in this case and to not, give accurate information
• 33:01
  Speaker 21: is devastating.
• 33:02
  Speaker 19: So we'll see how that fares.
• 33:04
  Speaker 11: Victoria, speaking of the cases being prepared by Josh Hertzler
• 33:08
  Speaker 11: at the Founding Freedoms Legal Center, and certainly if there's
• 33:12
  Speaker 11: more than just the reason to support the Family Foundation
• 33:16
  Speaker 11: for the reasons to support the Family Foundation and being pro-life,
• 33:21
  Speaker 11: it is this need we've had more and more frequently
• 33:25
  Speaker 11: to have to go in to courtrooms all the way
• 33:28
  Speaker 11: up to the Supreme Court to demand that our constitutional
• 33:31
  Speaker 11: rights be protected by those who don't seem interested in it.
• 33:35
  Speaker 11: And I know we don't want to count on those things,
• 33:39
  Speaker 11: but he's been doing pretty well in terms of winning
• 33:42
  Speaker 11: these cases. We've got to be careful before he becomes
• 33:45
  Speaker 11: attorney general, or maybe it would be good if he
• 33:48
  Speaker 11: becomes attorney general, right?
• 33:50
  Speaker 19: Well, I certainly don't want to see him go anywhere.
• 33:53
  Speaker 19: But yes, we need good principled people in good places.
• 33:55
  Speaker 19: So certainly, who knows?
• 33:58
  Speaker 21: But yeah, I mean, our Founding Freedoms Law Center has
• 34:01
  Speaker 21: been doing a great job and has a fantastic record of.
• 34:07
  Speaker 21: Justice for victims and also getting some unconstitutional things overturned.
• 34:12
  Speaker 21: The most notable was the ban on conversion therapy, where
• 34:15
  Speaker 21: they just passed a law that they knew was unconstitutional.
• 34:18
  Speaker 19: And so sometimes it requires going to court to get
• 34:19
  Speaker 19: that flipped.
• 34:20
  Speaker 21: What's going to be interesting about this particular abortion lawsuit
• 34:23
  Speaker 21: is there is a second lawsuit by another organization, and
• 34:26
  Speaker 21: that is simply about the process. So it's really about
• 34:29
  Speaker 21: this whole issue of it not being posted in courthouses
• 34:32
  Speaker 21: for 90 days.
• 34:33
  Speaker 19: And that is up on appeals.
• 34:34
  Speaker 21: That will get to the court before our lawsuit, which
• 34:37
  Speaker 21: is on the fraudulent issue. So I don't want people
• 34:40
  Speaker 21: to be discouraged if that one does not make its
• 34:42
  Speaker 21: way through.
• 34:42
  Speaker 19: That is not the end of the story. But you'll
• 34:44
  Speaker 19: hear about that one probably first.
• 34:47
  Speaker 21: But ours is really about this fraudulent issue of can
• 34:50
  Speaker 21: a voter have a right to know what they're voting on?
• 34:53
  Speaker 12: And see it beforehand.
• 34:54
  Speaker 11: And that's– that is– I guess, the other side of
• 34:58
  Speaker 11: the coin so they can write what they want on
• 35:00
  Speaker 11: the ballot.
• 35:01
  Speaker 12: But it has to be posted. The actual.
• 35:05
  Speaker 11: Law that's going to be voted on has to be
• 35:07
  Speaker 11: posted there for people to be able to see. And
• 35:12
  Speaker 11: I want to poke into this a little because a
• 35:14
  Speaker 11: question was asked to me by a listener, actually. So
• 35:18
  Speaker 11: I'm going to give credit where credit's due. He asked,
• 35:21
  Speaker 11: because we had certainly shared, and as a matter of fact,
• 35:24
  Speaker 11: in my Daily Signal column, I actually published the entire
• 35:28
  Speaker 11: text of the amendment without realizing, and I'm abashed by this,
• 35:33
  Speaker 11: that the article that they're trying to amend or the
• 35:37
  Speaker 11: section of Article 1 of our Virginia Constitution that they're
• 35:41
  Speaker 11: trying to amend is the due process section. The abortion
• 35:47
  Speaker 11: amendment will amend Section 11 of Article 1 of the Constitution,
• 35:53
  Speaker 11: which guarantees... that no person can be denied their life
• 35:59
  Speaker 11: without due process. And it struck me as odd. And
• 36:04
  Speaker 11: I thought about it. I said, is this an opportunity then,
• 36:07
  Speaker 11: once we've won the referendum here, to turn this on
• 36:11
  Speaker 11: the left and say, obviously, they believe that somebody is
• 36:15
  Speaker 11: having their due process infringed upon by abortion. And even
• 36:22
  Speaker 11: if we get it to 24 weeks, that's three months
• 36:26
  Speaker 11: worth of life that this child, this unborn baby, will
• 36:31
  Speaker 11: at least be able to have their due process protected.
• 36:35
  Speaker 11: If maybe once this is all said and done, we
• 36:37
  Speaker 11: turn this around on the left and say, you guys
• 36:40
  Speaker 11: wanted to amend the due process amendment. You must obviously
• 36:44
  Speaker 11: think that an unborn child is afforded due process.
• 36:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 36:49
  Speaker 19: It's an interesting point you're making.
• 36:51
  Speaker 21: Not one that I had thought about, but that is
• 36:52
  Speaker 21: an interesting point. Again, at some point, the hypocrisy of the.
• 37:01
  Speaker 19: really the just general.
• 37:02
  Speaker 21: Political sentiment right now around abortion will be exposed. And
• 37:05
  Speaker 21: the idea that, you know, the people who claim to
• 37:08
  Speaker 21: fight for the most marginalized and, you know, make intersectionality
• 37:14
  Speaker 21: the biggest deal in the world, ignore the most vulnerable
• 37:16
  Speaker 21: population in our society.
• 37:18
  Speaker 19: And that is the unborn.
• 37:19
  Speaker 21: At some point, all of that will sort of work
• 37:22
  Speaker 21: itself through. It's just disappointing that we're still where we are.
• 37:25
  Speaker 11: Well, and along with all this comes the vague and
• 37:30
  Speaker 11: poorly veiled threats against doctors that if they don't comply
• 37:34
  Speaker 11: with a mother in the delivery room and perform the abortion,
• 37:38
  Speaker 11: they could face legal sanction. That's the kind of stuff
• 37:42
  Speaker 11: that I think Stalin would have supported. Victoria Cobb, Daily Signal.

• 41:15
  Speaker 25: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 25: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type 2
• 41:24
  Speaker 25: diabetes and heart disease. And if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 25: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 25: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

  Speaker 4: As long as you've got love, What's on your mind?
• 44:36
  Speaker 11: Honestly, I think that's what rankles the authoritarians so much
• 44:40
  Speaker 11: is that we are here trying to empower people with
• 44:45
  Speaker 11: their own greatness rather than tell them, gaslight them, whatever,
• 44:49
  Speaker 11: into the fact that they have to go to someone
• 44:51
  Speaker 11: else and have greatness lifted for them. Victoria Cobb, the
• 44:56
  Speaker 11: Family Foundation is on with us. Your calls, your texts.
• 44:59
  Speaker 11: I'm going to get to a bunch of them here.
• 45:01
  Speaker 11: In a moment, but Victoria, ramping up to the finish,
• 45:04
  Speaker 11: how do people do more to help out? I know
• 45:07
  Speaker 11: you have a lot of resources online. Can we download them?
• 45:11
  Speaker 11: Do you share them with our friends?
• 45:13
  Speaker 21: Yeah, I think that's the easiest. I think people need
• 45:15
  Speaker 21: to remember the simplest. You know, there's so much wrong
• 45:17
  Speaker 21: with these amendments, it's hard to know where to start.
• 45:19
  Speaker 21: But the simplest things is it's going to eliminate parental
• 45:21
  Speaker 21: consent and it's going to allow late-term abortion up until
• 45:24
  Speaker 21: the moment of birth for any reason. And that it's
• 45:27
  Speaker 21: vague in every other way possible. I think if they
• 45:29
  Speaker 21: can just remember a couple key points. They can have
• 45:32
  Speaker 21: that conversation with their neighbor because their neighbor doesn't agree
• 45:34
  Speaker 21: with that either. You know, a lot of people get
• 45:35
  Speaker 21: confused and think, oh, someone's pro-choice, therefore.
• 45:38
  Speaker 19: Well, guess what?
• 45:39
  Speaker 21: There's a lot of pro-choice people who will disagree with
• 45:41
  Speaker 21: what this amendment is doing because it is so extreme.
• 45:44
  Speaker 21: So think about the basics so that they can have
• 45:47
  Speaker 21: these kind of conversations. I mean, that's enough to really
• 45:49
  Speaker 21: put together a letter to the editor for whatever your
• 45:52
  Speaker 21: local paper is or to have an announcement at your church. And, yeah,
• 45:57
  Speaker 21: I think that if they want more detail– If they
• 46:00
  Speaker 21: want more detail, certainly coming to our website and downloading
• 46:03
  Speaker 21: some of those resources. We have a video that's a
• 46:06
  Speaker 21: pastor speaking that a lot of churches are sending out
• 46:09
  Speaker 21: either through their email or they're playing on a Sunday service.
• 46:11
  Speaker 19: There's a three-minute video of me explaining the amendment because.
• 46:14
  Speaker 21: Sometimes you can't get one of us to your local
• 46:16
  Speaker 21: civic group or your GOP or whatever it might be.
• 46:19
  Speaker 19: Just plug and play.
• 46:20
  Speaker 21: That gives you the basics. So there's a lot of
• 46:22
  Speaker 21: things available. We now have Spanish resources available. And there's
• 46:25
  Speaker 21: a lot of work we've got to do to get
• 46:26
  Speaker 21: into all the communities that we can. And that tends
• 46:29
  Speaker 21: to be a pretty solidly Catholic community in many cases
• 46:34
  Speaker 21: who have pro-life sentiments. So, you know, we just need
• 46:37
  Speaker 21: to work on how do we reach as many people
• 46:39
  Speaker 21: as possible with what's actually going to go into the Constitution,
• 46:43
  Speaker 21: not what they're going to see on a ballot.
• 46:45
  Speaker 11: Victoria Cobb, the Family Foundation.
• 46:47
  Speaker 12: Promise to goodness. Last question.
• 46:49
  Speaker 11: Because you've been very generous with your time. And I
• 46:51
  Speaker 11: know you're very busy as the election has begun and
• 46:55
  Speaker 11: votes are being cast as the days go on towards
• 46:58
  Speaker 11: these constitutional amendments, yay or nay. You mentioned this in
• 47:03
  Speaker 11: your last statement about your neighbor doesn't agree with this.
• 47:06
  Speaker 11: And I've been seeing more and more polls, whether it's
• 47:10
  Speaker 11: Doug Wilder's school at VCU or Christopher Newport University, they
• 47:15
  Speaker 11: all are publishing reports. I think the CNU one said,
• 47:18
  Speaker 11: 66% of the participants supported or strongly supported amending the
• 47:25
  Speaker 11: Constitution to guarantee reproductive rights. But if you look at
• 47:29
  Speaker 11: the question CNU asked their participants, there was nothing in
• 47:33
  Speaker 11: there about what this amendment does. It's just the abstract of, well,
• 47:38
  Speaker 11: I guess we should maybe. Because when people see what's
• 47:43
  Speaker 11: in this bill, it's like 80-20 against this amendment.
• 47:49
  Speaker 19: Yeah, there's no question.
• 47:51
  Speaker 21: And they're trying to sell it as this is just
• 47:52
  Speaker 21: codifying Roe. It's just putting it firmly in the Constitution.
• 47:56
  Speaker 21: And the reality is we already have we are already
• 47:58
  Speaker 21: a state with literally the most permissive abortion in the
• 48:01
  Speaker 21: American South. We already have last year nearly 40,000 abortions.
• 48:05
  Speaker 21: Someone's access to abortion is not what's at issue at all.
• 48:09
  Speaker 21: What is at issue is parental consent, late term abortion.
• 48:12
  Speaker 21: and even just eliminating any safety standards. That's what actually
• 48:15
  Speaker 21: this ballot is about. But if we tell people it's
• 48:17
  Speaker 21: about something else, then sure, yeah, you make it a
• 48:21
  Speaker 21: totally different percentage.
• 48:22
  Speaker 19: But unfortunately, that's really not what we're doing.
• 48:25
  Speaker 11: And it's amazing to watch the bait and switch. It's
• 48:28
  Speaker 11: like those old con man movies.
• 48:30
  Speaker 12: What was it?
• 48:32
  Speaker 11: Leverage and all those con man shows that used to
• 48:35
  Speaker 11: be on TV all the time. Victoria Cobb from the
• 48:39
  Speaker 11: Family Foundation. But again, the warnings. Klaxon warning. This is
• 48:42
  Speaker 11: coming soon. This is the test case. This is the
• 48:46
  Speaker 11: litmus to see if it can get passed in blue Virginia. Hey,
• 48:50
  Speaker 11: they just had a Republican governor. They ought to be
• 48:52
  Speaker 11: able to. So we've got to stand up and draw
• 48:56
  Speaker 11: a line somewhere on it. Let me get to you
• 48:58
  Speaker 11: at 434-882-4217. Good morning. You're on the air with Joe.
• 49:02
  Speaker 11: First thing this morning.
• 49:03
  Speaker 12: Who's this?
• 49:05
  Speaker 1: Hey, Joe.
• 49:05
  Speaker 19: It's Joel.
• 49:07
  Speaker 23: All I wanted to say was.
• 49:08
  Speaker 19: I wish I were there, you know.
• 49:11
  Speaker 23: Because you have some great people there.
• 49:14
  Speaker 12: Well, you know what?
• 49:17
  Speaker 11: You can vote anyway. You know, just get a mail-in ballot.
• 49:20
  Speaker 11: and just send it to us. As a matter of fact,
• 49:22
  Speaker 11: I don't think you need a ballot. Just get a
• 49:24
  Speaker 11: blank piece of paper. Say I vote no. Put it
• 49:28
  Speaker 11: in an envelope and mail it to State Board of
• 49:30
  Speaker 11: Elections at Virginia dot gov. And that should be good.
• 49:34
  Speaker 11: I think that this day, you know, access to voting
• 49:37
  Speaker 11: is important, isn't it?
• 49:39
  Speaker 23: We have enough trouble in Mariposa County here, so I
• 49:43
  Speaker 23: don't know.
• 49:45
  Speaker 11: You know, at least they try to have the votes
• 49:47
  Speaker 11: counted before the next office holder gets sworn in, right?
• 49:52
  Speaker 15: I guess.
• 49:53
  Speaker 12: I don't know.
• 49:53
  Speaker 23: I'm brand new here, but that was one of the
• 49:56
  Speaker 23: things that was brought up, I guess, post-elections. So anyway, Joe,
• 50:02
  Speaker 23: I just wanted to drop in and say, hey, I
• 50:03
  Speaker 23: wish you were there and you have a great day
• 50:06
  Speaker 23: and good luck on Newsmax.
• 50:07
  Speaker 19: That sounds cool.
• 50:08
  Speaker 12: Yeah. See about that. Uh, that's another one, a whole thing.
• 50:12
  Speaker 11: I figured we'd spend some time talking about money in
• 50:14
  Speaker 11: elections came up a little bit. Um, but if you see,
• 50:18
  Speaker 11: you know, these cases, look at George Soros, look at
• 50:22
  Speaker 11: how much money they spend in, in to the nuance.
• 50:25
  Speaker 11: You know, we've all talked now. I mean, the phrase
• 50:28
  Speaker 11: progressive prosecutor is part of the lexicon.
• 50:31
  Speaker 12: Now we all.
• 50:32
  Speaker 11: Know what a progressive prosecutor is. Um, That's all because
• 50:37
  Speaker 11: George Soros said, huh, you know what? It's cheaper to
• 50:41
  Speaker 11: buy the prosecutor than it is the congressman. So if
• 50:45
  Speaker 11: I buy the prosecutor, then they can overturn or throw
• 50:49
  Speaker 11: out any cases, especially a voter fraud or voter manipulation
• 50:53
  Speaker 11: or voter suppression, because they'll just choose not to pursue it. Huh,
• 50:59
  Speaker 11: interesting how that works. But the money in politics, This
• 51:05
  Speaker 11: is one of those things that, you know, we were
• 51:07
  Speaker 11: talking to Bob in Moscow, and he said there's a
• 51:09
  Speaker 11: specified window of when that.
• 51:14
  Speaker 11: They just had a Supreme Court ruling about political action committees, like,
• 51:20
  Speaker 11: you know, Family Foundation or Americans for Prosperity, or you
• 51:24
  Speaker 11: name it, that they have to be guaranteed the same
• 51:27
  Speaker 11: political rate that politicians do.
• 51:31
  Speaker 7: And.
• 51:32
  Speaker 11: I know it sounds all well and good to say
• 51:34
  Speaker 11: that a politician is guaranteed by FCC regulation to get
• 51:38
  Speaker 11: the lowest cost that a TV station or a radio
• 51:42
  Speaker 11: station charges for a commercial. But what the unintended consequence
• 51:48
  Speaker 11: of that has been is that the local advertiser gets
• 51:51
  Speaker 11: squeezed out of advertising.
• 51:55
  Speaker 12: Because.
• 51:56
  Speaker 11: The radio station or the TV station says, well, we've
• 51:58
  Speaker 11: got to keep our political rate up. And I've been
• 52:01
  Speaker 11: in these meetings. This does happen. Your local radio station
• 52:05
  Speaker 11: will have a meeting. We can't give the local event
• 52:09
  Speaker 11: space a discount. I know they're just starting up, but
• 52:12
  Speaker 11: that's too bad on them. We've got to protect our
• 52:15
  Speaker 11: political rate. And now it's getting even more so. So,
• 52:19
  Speaker 11: you know, it's all those things that they claim are
• 52:23
  Speaker 11: for our benefit.
• 52:24
  Speaker 12: Oh, gosh, we've got 20 seconds. 20 seconds, Dr.
• 52:27
  Speaker 19: Clark.
• 52:27
  Speaker 12: Can you stick the landing? I will stick it, though.
• 52:31
  Speaker 23: Let's put a finer point on the longer we go
• 52:35
  Speaker 23: with the voting, the less participation we have.
• 52:37
  Speaker 12: 10 seconds.
• 52:39
  Speaker 23: The more you.
• 52:40
  Speaker 27: Decrease confidence in the process, the fewer people are going
• 52:43
  Speaker 27: to vote.
• 52:44
  Speaker 11: Amen to that. And for you, thank you for listening.
• 52:46
  Speaker 11: Until tomorrow morning, so long, and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
