- 8:04Speaker 6: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 6: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 6: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

- 9:58Speaker 8: Hi everybody, I'm Jackhannah. It's always a boy growing up
- 10:01Speaker 8: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
- 10:04Speaker 8: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 8: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:08Speaker 8: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 8: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 8: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:17Speaker 8: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 8: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 8: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:25Speaker 8: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 8: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:32Speaker 8: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 8: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 8: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 8: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 8: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:46Speaker 8: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 11:05Speaker 11: And now a speech.
- 11:06Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
- 11:10Speaker 12: art and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 3: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 11: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
- 11:15Speaker 10: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.
- 11:18Speaker 3: Somebody call me a ride.
- 11:19Speaker 9: Love that guy, Me too.
- 11:21Speaker 13: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
- 11:23Speaker 13: it's time to go home.
- 11:24Speaker 4: Buzz driving is drunk driving.

- 13:09Speaker 16: It was the sound of the.
- 13:12Speaker 1: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 13:17Speaker 2: Again, we got our friends from military intelligence.
- 13:19Speaker 17: Can you tell us what you have found out about
- 13:21Speaker 17: the enemy since you've been here. We found out that
- 13:24Speaker 17: we can't find them. They're out there and we're having
- 13:28Speaker 17: a major difficulty in finding the enemy. What do you
- 13:33Speaker 17: look for them? Well, yeah, people, Are you the enemy?
- 13:37Speaker 17: And whoever said yes, we shoot them.
- 13:43Speaker 3: You know, the long industrious career of Joe Kent and
- 13:47Speaker 3: military intelligence came to an end yesterday because well it's
- 13:53Speaker 3: everything we're doing is just because we're run by the Jews.
- 13:57Speaker 3: And soon to be heard in full probably special two
- 14:02Speaker 3: hour bull full cinematic release length on the Tucker Carlson Program.
- 14:12Speaker 3: There more with Joe Kent. Very difficult to find.
- 14:15Speaker 17: The Vietnamese man named Charlie.
- 14:17Speaker 3: Yeah. So you see, there's long industrious career has finally
- 14:21Speaker 3: come to an end there and God bless him. Everyone
- 14:28Speaker 3: in America has the right to quit a job, and
- 14:32Speaker 3: it's it's in Joe Kent's statements that we find some illumination,
- 14:37Speaker 3: like in Henry Jones diary, so he cannot in good conscience.
- 14:48Speaker 3: That's an important phrase because that says I said we
- 14:56Speaker 3: shouldn't do this, and they didn't listen to me, So
- 14:59Speaker 3: I'm going to go, which is faul. Like I said,
- 15:01Speaker 3: Americans have the right to quit jobs. Sure, you have
- 15:05Speaker 3: quit jobs. I've quit jobs. I've even walked out on
- 15:09Speaker 3: one job. But it had to be fairly exigent circumstances
- 15:14Speaker 3: to get me to do that I've been escorted from jobs.
- 15:17Speaker 3: I've done things that have made my employers so mad
- 15:20Speaker 3: that they've escorted me out of the building with security.
- 15:29Speaker 3: So Joe Kent, in his application to guest hosts for
- 15:32Speaker 3: Tucker Carlson, said that Iran posed no imminent threat to
- 15:36Speaker 3: our nation, and it is clear we started this war
- 15:40Speaker 3: due to pressure from Israel and its powerful American lobby.
- 15:48Speaker 3: And I have fought this mindset for some time that
- 16:00Speaker 3: and it really bothers me having faced up against the
- 16:05Speaker 3: blood and soil crowd here in our flagship of Charlottesville.
- 16:10Speaker 3: Go see the videos. You'll see my goofy head because
- 16:15Speaker 3: apparently at six feet tall, I'm a lot taller than
- 16:18Speaker 3: the average American Nazi. But this, this blood and soil
- 16:24Speaker 3: crowd who believes that everything America does is because the
- 16:29Speaker 3: Jews want us to bothers me in great detail, you know.
- 16:36Speaker 3: And the only time they really drop this is if
- 16:39Speaker 3: they're talking about the build a Bear group and the NATCH.
- 16:48Speaker 3: Everything is somebody else's fault. Everything everything we do is
- 16:55Speaker 3: because somebody else made us do it. And I guess,
- 16:59Speaker 3: to be fair, I mean could make the case that
- 17:01Speaker 3: if somebody gives you intelligence and you say, well, oh,
- 17:04Speaker 3: you know, this is this and for fifty years, Iran
- 17:07Speaker 3: has been funding all these people. Maybe it's time that
- 17:09Speaker 3: we put a stop to it. Joe, what do you think. Well,
- 17:13Speaker 3: they don't seem like they're going to do anything today,
- 17:16Speaker 3: So I say, no, oh, okay, what about all the
- 17:20Speaker 3: stuff they did before? Well that was before, and there's nothing.
- 17:24Speaker 3: So there's no imminent threat. And I was watching Tucker
- 17:27Speaker 3: Carlson and he said, and okay, well we're going to
- 17:31Speaker 3: do it anyway. This is Tolsy Gabbard's statement on Joe
- 17:40Speaker 3: Kent's resignation. Donald Trump was overwhelmingly elected by the American
- 17:50Speaker 3: people to be our president and commander in chief. As
- 17:53Speaker 3: our commander in chief, he is responsible for determining what
- 17:57Speaker 3: is and is not an imminent threat, and whether or
- 18:01Speaker 3: not to take action he deems necessary to protect the
- 18:04Speaker 3: safety and security of our American troops, the American people,
- 18:08Speaker 3: and our country. After carefully reviewing all the information before him,
- 18:13Speaker 3: President Trump concluded that the terrorist Islamist regime in Iran
- 18:18Speaker 3: posed an imminent threat, and he took action based on
- 18:21Speaker 3: that conclusion. She's going to be on the hill today
- 18:26Speaker 3: testifying before Congress as they said, Joe Kent will probably
- 18:31Speaker 3: be on the Tucker Carlson podcast, if not today. I
- 18:34Speaker 3: don't know how much prep time they need to get
- 18:36Speaker 3: the cameras set up in the man cave or whatever,
- 18:40Speaker 3: but you know, watch for it coming soon. Or Joe Rogan. Yeah,
- 18:43Speaker 3: that's right. I just got a text message saying, what
- 18:46Speaker 3: about Joe Rogan. Yeah, it'll be one of those because
- 18:49Speaker 3: and here's the thing about Joe Kent, and Joe Kent
- 18:52Speaker 3: is part of that. I don't like the word iist,
- 19:00Speaker 3: because I've been called an isolationist, and I disagree with
- 19:09Speaker 3: the characterization that I am one do I think going
- 19:14Speaker 3: to war is a good idea. Well, it's necessary sometimes.
- 19:19Speaker 3: This is why the Ten Commandments delineated between murder and kill.
- 19:35Speaker 3: So Daily Caller reporting that the one senior official off
- 19:44Speaker 3: the record said that Kent was cut out of the
- 19:47Speaker 3: president's daily intelligence briefings months ago, alleging that he was
- 19:52Speaker 3: a known leaker. Now that I'm just sharing the information,
- 19:58Speaker 3: you chew on a masticate thoroughly in the morning, and
- 20:03Speaker 3: you know we should always and once you've chewed on
- 20:07Speaker 3: the gummies enough, you let me know if that just
- 20:10Speaker 3: sounds like spin, I'm not one hundred percent thrilled with
- 20:17Speaker 3: Tulsi Gabbert's statement or the opening of Tulsi Gabbard's statement,
- 20:24Speaker 3: because I don't think it's you know, the whole relevance
- 20:29Speaker 3: of whether the American people voted for or President Trump
- 20:34Speaker 3: is the commander in chief and therefore whether it's Joe Biden,
- 20:39Speaker 3: Barack Obama. As Bill Maher said, Barack Obama had even
- 20:49Speaker 3: Flimsier intel or at least announced Flimsier intel to the
- 20:57Speaker 3: over Sirius. So why this because it's Trump? If Joe
- 21:08Speaker 3: Kent was one of the big leaks coming out of
- 21:12Speaker 3: the administration, it's clearly based on his history before this
- 21:17Speaker 3: that he was part of that.
- 21:21Speaker 5: No war.
- 21:22Speaker 3: Ever, Trump's going to keep us out of every war.
- 21:25Speaker 3: He's gonna pull us back. We're gonna be isolationist, let
- 21:30Speaker 3: the wars rage where they will, and there is a
- 21:39Speaker 3: gravity to this. Do you believe that's what Donald Trump
- 21:43Speaker 3: ran on? Do you believe that's what Donald Trump said?
- 21:46Speaker 3: And do you agree with me or disagree with me
- 21:50Speaker 3: that this attempt in Iran is not to start a
- 21:54Speaker 3: war but to end one that's been going on in
- 21:57Speaker 3: shadows for decades.
- 22:02Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
- 22:07Speaker 6: actually three known gas is I am doctor Mitch, and
- 22:12Speaker 6: nitric oxide is a gas that's readily made all day
- 22:16Speaker 6: long to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood

- 24:03Speaker 6: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 24:07Speaker 6: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 24:12Speaker 6: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18Speaker 6: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22Speaker 6: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26Speaker 6: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31Speaker 6: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36Speaker 6: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:42Speaker 6: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45Speaker 6: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

- 28:23Speaker 1: thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
- 28:27Speaker 3: That's for you, I had told a junior four three
- 28:29Speaker 3: four eight eight two four two one seven That is
- 28:32Speaker 3: the phone number. As we digest the morning's news times
- 28:38Speaker 3: and travails. And you know, the news cycle if you
- 28:42Speaker 3: follow it ardently, goes in waves, especially in this ultra
- 28:48Speaker 3: spin world. One side will spin, the other side will spin,
- 28:52Speaker 3: and you really you're left with this queasy feeling like
- 28:56Speaker 3: motion sickness because it's you know, the left is then
- 29:00Speaker 3: the right spins and you feel better and whatever it is.
- 29:05Speaker 3: And so it's it's interesting to me. And one of
- 29:11Speaker 3: the things before we get to your phone calls at
- 29:13Speaker 3: four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 29:16Speaker 3: The vaunted vice chair of the oxymoronically named Senate Intelligence Committee,
- 29:25Speaker 3: Virginia Senator Mark Warner, though he said this at the
- 29:29Speaker 3: onset of the Iranian invasion, has dropped the whole I've
- 29:35Speaker 3: seen no intelligence that would indicate And that's a litmus
- 29:43Speaker 3: test to me. So whatever Joe Kent says, if Mark
- 29:48Speaker 3: Warner hasn't been saying it every day for the last
- 29:51Speaker 3: three weeks, I'm just bypassed history. It is indicative to
- 29:58Speaker 3: me that Mark Warner can't say it because Mark Warner
- 30:01Speaker 3: is not as dumb as most people think he is,
- 30:05Speaker 3: and he has lawyers that will protect him from saying
- 30:08Speaker 3: something that's egregiously false. So if Mark Warner has stopped
- 30:13Speaker 3: saying I've seen no intelligence, it means he's seen the
- 30:16Speaker 3: intelligence that Joe Kent claims didn't exist there or they
- 30:21Speaker 3: didn't listen to Joe Kent when he said, don't do it,
- 30:24Speaker 3: just because the Jews tell you to. Joel is on
- 30:27Speaker 3: the line from Florida for US this morning. Good morning, Joel, Happy.
- 30:31Speaker 10: Tedsty, Good morning, Happy Ted.
- 30:35Speaker 3: So am I wrong about Joe Kent? You know? Am
- 30:39Speaker 3: I being too harsh on this counter terrorism intel officer
- 30:45Speaker 3: and his application of his righteous indicate indignation about the
- 30:51Speaker 3: efforts in Iran?
- 30:55Speaker 10: Well, I'm not really sure about Joe Kent. I really
- 31:01Speaker 10: don't really know that, don't know that much about him.
- 31:04Speaker 10: I'm sorry, I don't I didn't follow that story.
- 31:08Speaker 3: Okay, Well, then you're about something else. That's fine. I
- 31:10Speaker 3: was just laying it out there. What brings you to
- 31:13Speaker 3: the phone.
- 31:13Speaker 10: Then, well, I heard this expression. So peace is preferred
- 31:20Speaker 10: over war, and then war is preferred over nuclear annihilation
- 31:24Speaker 10: because because you know the last one, you can't turn
- 31:30Speaker 10: around and so so so what so what.
- 31:34Speaker 3: Were they going to do? Wait for?
- 31:37Speaker 10: I mean, there's proven that you know that, there's proven
- 31:40Speaker 10: that they were centerfuging you know, uranium.
- 31:44Speaker 3: They said, once you go above.
- 31:45Speaker 10: Twenty percent, because you only need three to five percent
- 31:49Speaker 10: for for a new for you know, for for using
- 31:52Speaker 10: it for electricity, well, no, for electricity. And then once
- 31:59Speaker 10: you hit twenty percent then you're then then it's easy
- 32:02Speaker 10: to go. And sixty percent is pretty much bomb green,
- 32:05Speaker 10: they said, because it's it's like the ninety nine percent
- 32:08Speaker 10: when you get I guess if you're you know, making
- 32:12Speaker 10: making some other chemical, uh, you know, using purifying some
- 32:16Speaker 10: other kind of element.
- 32:17Speaker 3: But right anyway, well, you know, the point is, and
- 32:21Speaker 3: you're talking about Iran and they're getting of a nuclear weapon.
- 32:24Speaker 3: That that is that certainly has been their intent. And
- 32:31Speaker 3: you don't build your energy generation facilities underground. But the
- 32:38Speaker 3: bigger question to me has always been how many times
- 32:42Speaker 3: and how many Americans, how many Allies are going to
- 32:46Speaker 3: be killed in these attacks by all their little client groups,
- 32:49Speaker 3: all their little outsourcing gig gig terrorists like Hezbola and Hamas.
- 32:57Speaker 3: At some point they have to be held to a
- 33:00Speaker 3: And it's funny because I remember in two thousand and
- 33:02Speaker 3: two we were going to go off and find all
- 33:05Speaker 3: the state sponsors of terrorism. I must have missed the
- 33:09Speaker 3: second part of the statement, which was except for Iran.
- 33:13Speaker 3: And I don't know what our blind spot was there,
- 33:17Speaker 3: but we wanted to go after all the apparently easy
- 33:20Speaker 3: to beat, supposedly allegedly easy to beat state sponsors of terrorism,
- 33:26Speaker 3: not Iran. And I find it to be Trump saying
- 33:29Speaker 3: enough with this war, Let's end this now, Let's get Iran,
- 33:33Speaker 3: you know, back into the hands of its people. And
- 33:37Speaker 3: I'm waiting so I can see things both sides there, Joela,
- 33:42Speaker 3: If that makes any sense to you, Oh it does.
- 33:46Speaker 10: But Iran, Iran, it's Mola's and it's so called government.
- 33:52Speaker 10: They're a death call. And so are all these other proxies.
- 33:56Speaker 10: And you have all these other nations. There's Arab nations,
- 34:00Speaker 10: and basically they sit on their hands. They want other
- 34:04Speaker 10: people to do the work for them. And you have
- 34:07Speaker 10: splits in Islam. So I mean to me, I know
- 34:11Speaker 10: you say, well, I know a friendly Muslim, but I'm sorry,
- 34:14Speaker 10: But to me, Islam, if they really wanted to bring peace,
- 34:18Speaker 10: then there would be people actually sticking their neck out
- 34:21Speaker 10: to fight against it. I think there are, and I
- 34:24Speaker 10: don't see many people doing that.
- 34:26Speaker 3: I think there are. But again, when you're dealing with
- 34:30Speaker 3: the playground bully, and I know there are people that
- 34:33Speaker 3: feel like, oh here. You know it's oversimplification, but you know,
- 34:37Speaker 3: a terrorist is a playground bully. A playground bully is
- 34:41Speaker 3: just a pre adolescent version of a terrorist. And and
- 34:45Speaker 3: so what you do is you use size or your
- 34:50Speaker 3: relative sanity or whatever it is to threaten everyone else
- 34:53Speaker 3: around you. And it takes a lot of courage. I'm
- 34:57Speaker 3: not going to deny it takes a lot of courage
- 34:59Speaker 3: to stand up to it. But there are groups all
- 35:01Speaker 3: over the place, like the American Islamic Forum for Democracy
- 35:05Speaker 3: that are out there trying to do those things. It's just,
- 35:09Speaker 3: you know, when they have to worry about their cars
- 35:12Speaker 3: blowing up because you know, as many Muslims get killed
- 35:17Speaker 3: by Islamists. And that's why I try to use the
- 35:20Speaker 3: word Islamists all the time, because it delineates between somebody
- 35:28Speaker 3: who just wants to follow their interpretation of faith from
- 35:33Speaker 3: the Koran versus somebody who wants to blow you up
- 35:36Speaker 3: because you don't. And you know, again could be overly simplified.
- 35:41Speaker 3: I'm the guy who's just trying to chop up the
- 35:44Speaker 3: news into easily digestible gummies. For everyone.
- 35:48Speaker 10: I've seen, there's one person that I saw speak out.
- 35:53Speaker 3: I guess he was.
- 35:54Speaker 10: Originally part of Hamas and then he became actually became
- 35:59Speaker 10: a Christian and then he's been on I think Fox before.
- 36:03Speaker 10: But I I just think that as you say, yeah,
- 36:08Speaker 10: the big, big, you know, playground bully is intimidating. But
- 36:14Speaker 10: what's it going to take. I mean, we were they
- 36:17Speaker 10: were close to annihilation. And and and Israel, I'm sorry,
- 36:22Speaker 10: but they they have a mixed population too. And and
- 36:26Speaker 10: I know they have people within there, I think within
- 36:28Speaker 10: their own armies and stuff. I do think that there
- 36:31Speaker 10: are Muslims and there are different religious forces that are
- 36:35Speaker 10: in there that not just Jews that are fighting against
- 36:39Speaker 10: you know that these proxy groups, and then of course Iran.
- 36:42Speaker 10: But yeah, but and and I just also think that America,
- 36:48Speaker 10: we have a socialist movement, we have an Islamic movement,
- 36:52Speaker 10: and both of those things have to be put down.
- 36:55Speaker 3: And not that we remember, you know this, this islam
- 36:59Speaker 3: Is movement. It is a Marxist movement. Their their belief
- 37:03Speaker 3: is collectivist. Is is perhaps even more Marxist than you know,
- 37:08Speaker 3: some of the people in the socialist world. And so
- 37:13Speaker 3: you got to remember this is indistinguishable. Plus it was
- 37:16Speaker 3: propped up when Hitler went to the Middle East and said, hey,
- 37:20Speaker 3: you hate Jews too, right, and enlisted them as his
- 37:24Speaker 3: proxies in the first place. So there's there's so many
- 37:28Speaker 3: Eddie's and currents. This is the president saying we need
- 37:32Speaker 3: to do And I believe it was Bill Clinton that
- 37:36Speaker 3: confessed to Donald Trump number one, Bill Clinton's relationship with
- 37:41Speaker 3: Don But President Trump, I believe is referring to Bill
- 37:45Speaker 3: Clinton when he says at least one former president says
- 37:48Speaker 3: that he wished he had done this in Iran, and
- 37:52Speaker 3: I believe it was Clinton there for whatever reason. But
- 37:55Speaker 3: good stuff, Joel, you hang in there, my friend, happy
- 37:57Speaker 3: Tedsty thanks show you too.
- 38:01Speaker 2: At Hotshot Secret we share the science behind common diesel
- 38:04Speaker 2: problems in their solutions.

- 38:08Speaker 2: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
- 38:11Speaker 2: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
- 38:14Speaker 2: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.

- 44:11Speaker 1: Hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is the
- 44:14Speaker 1: first thing today.
- 44:32Speaker 3: I want to pivot for a second and talking about
- 44:34Speaker 3: a friend of mine, well, somebody I have become friendly
- 44:37Speaker 3: with over the years, uh Sam Page. And when Sam
- 44:42Speaker 3: Page announced he was running for state Senate in North Carolina,
- 44:50Speaker 3: I was excited. I was excited for it because I
- 44:54Speaker 3: think Sam Page is one of those people we need
- 44:57Speaker 3: more of in the world. He was County North Carolina
- 45:04Speaker 3: for many, many years, and I got to know him
- 45:13Speaker 3: through the Federation for American Immigration Reform and annually they
- 45:17Speaker 3: would have all these radio hosts from around the country
- 45:20Speaker 3: come into Washington, d C. For what they called their
- 45:24Speaker 3: Hold their Feet to the Fire radio rallies. And as
- 45:28Speaker 3: through that, I met these great folks in this association
- 45:32Speaker 3: of sheriffs constitutional Officers.
- 45:35Speaker 1: And.
- 45:37Speaker 3: Sam was walking around said hey, you want to visit
- 45:40Speaker 3: with me, and we were from just in Virginia at
- 45:43Speaker 3: the time. I'm like, well, yeah, I'm talk about None
- 45:47Speaker 3: of our Virginia sheriffs were there, so I was like,
- 45:51Speaker 3: I can't interview my own sheriff because they're not here,
- 45:55Speaker 3: because well, Freddie's scared. But I think that's a is
- 46:00Speaker 3: that in the psychological book, Freddie's Scared? Is that an
- 46:03Speaker 3: actual affliction? I know that I've been Freddie Scared in
- 46:07Speaker 3: plenty of times in my life. But Sam Page never
- 46:10Speaker 3: looked Freddy scared. And he was one of the most
- 46:15Speaker 3: ardent and vocal supporters of the idea of if it's
- 46:18Speaker 3: a law, I'm going to enforce it. If you don't
- 46:22Speaker 3: want me to enforce it, unmake it a law. And
- 46:28Speaker 3: so when I heard that he was running for the
- 46:30Speaker 3: North Carolina Senate, I reached out to him, said, oh,
- 46:34Speaker 3: we got to talk to you. And his campaign people
- 46:36Speaker 3: were very fair and upfront about it. They're like, we
- 46:39Speaker 3: really need to laser focus because we're going after an
- 46:44Speaker 3: incumbent who's got lots of money and friends and low
- 46:48Speaker 3: friends and high places and that kind of thing. Phil Berger,
- 46:53Speaker 3: it's the titular head of the North Kracolaki Senate, And
- 46:59Speaker 3: they said, we really got to focus on earned media
- 47:01Speaker 3: here in the district so that you know, we don't
- 47:06Speaker 3: waste a minute. You know, we you know, Sheriff Page,
- 47:09Speaker 3: you wanted to come on, but you know, he's just
- 47:12Speaker 3: we didn't have an affiliate in the area and the
- 47:14Speaker 3: Triad area, so he was just like, I really got
- 47:18Speaker 3: to focus on the people who can help me out.
- 47:21Speaker 3: So that primary came to a head yesterday and Berger
- 47:27Speaker 3: has lost, not not by a lot, but when you're
- 47:31Speaker 3: the head of the Senate with all the tendrils into
- 47:34Speaker 3: all the cronyism, and you lose, it's a bad look.
- 47:41Speaker 3: I mean, not as bad as Iatola Junior's current public persona,
- 47:47Speaker 3: but it's not a good look for Phil Berger in
- 47:50Speaker 3: North Carolina. So he has a lawyered up and is
- 47:54Speaker 3: demanding recounts that the spread he's just twenty three points,
- 48:01Speaker 3: and you know you lose by twenty three points. Most
- 48:04Speaker 3: states allow you to demand or recount, or actually most states,
- 48:09Speaker 3: civilized states anyway, will automatically recount ballots if it's that
- 48:13Speaker 3: small of a margin. He's filed. Burger did four election
- 48:23Speaker 3: protests regarding the ballots of thirteen voters, according to the
- 48:27Speaker 3: state Elections Board. Spokesperson Jonathan Feltz, spokesman for the Burger campaign,
- 48:37Speaker 3: confirm the protests. Burger's campaign alleges that eight Guildford County
- 48:43Speaker 3: voters were wrongly given ballots that didn't include the GOP primary,
- 48:49Speaker 3: three unaffiliated voters in Rockingham County, where Paged with sheriff
- 48:54Speaker 3: were wrongly allowed to participate in the GOP primary after
- 48:58Speaker 3: initially requesting Demicocratic party ballots. Third charge, as a Rockingham
- 49:07Speaker 3: County voter was wrongly denied the opportunity to vote. It's
- 49:12Speaker 3: a vote suppression, and a Rockingham County voter claims to
- 49:16Speaker 3: have updated their party affiliation on their voter registration from
- 49:20Speaker 3: Democrat to unaffiliated before the deadline, but was still given
- 49:24Speaker 3: a Democratic Party ballot. Guilford County officials began their retabulating
- 49:31Speaker 3: of votes within hours of Burger's recount request. Guildford officials
- 49:40Speaker 3: will resume the ballot counting today. Rockingham officials are expected
- 49:45Speaker 3: to launch their recount on Thursday. Sheriff Page called on
- 49:54Speaker 3: Burger to concede. Phil Berger has the right to request
- 49:57Speaker 3: a recount, and I'm confident it will confirm the outcome
- 50:00Speaker 3: we won. Page's campaign dismissed Berger's election protests. The grand
- 50:08Speaker 3: total for these paltry allegations is thirteen votes. That's not
- 50:12Speaker 3: enough to change the results of this election, even if
- 50:15Speaker 3: any of the allegations stand up. And I was talking
- 50:24Speaker 3: to a friend of mine who's an election watcher. He
- 50:26Speaker 3: said that this kind of loss is akin to Eric
- 50:31Speaker 3: Canter being ousted from Virginia's seventh congressional district, because once
- 50:37Speaker 3: you get to a point in a state or whatever
- 50:42Speaker 3: office you're in, once you've been in three four terms,
- 50:44Speaker 3: the percent chance that somebody unseats you goes down into
- 50:50Speaker 3: single digits. Page's lead grew in provisional ballots, early ballots,
- 51:06Speaker 3: those sorts of things that were counted afterwards. And this
- 51:12Speaker 3: one friend of mine emailed me about the story, knowing
- 51:16Speaker 3: that I knew Sheriff Page, and said, this is a
- 51:20Speaker 3: huge win for constitutionalists versus Croniuss Mark, I appreciate that point,
- 51:28Speaker 3: and I think I agree with you on that because
- 51:32Speaker 3: the Ages got an outsider. He's been sheriff for a
- 51:35Speaker 3: very long time, somebody who's been in the North Carolina
- 51:42Speaker 3: Senate for that long as Berger has. There are people
- 51:49Speaker 3: who will just vote for him because they've always voted
- 51:52Speaker 3: for him. They go in, they see Burger's name, vote
- 51:56Speaker 3: for him to go on from there. It's like the
- 51:58Speaker 3: old expression of very You know, if you have the
- 52:00Speaker 3: most popular TV station in a community and you go
- 52:04Speaker 3: off the air, people are still going to say they
- 52:06Speaker 3: were watching you for a decade. Before it starts to
- 52:12Speaker 3: impact your ratings. It's just it's a truism. I was
- 52:16Speaker 3: listening to the news on the radio. It must have
- 52:18Speaker 3: been first thing today because I always listened to the
- 52:20Speaker 3: first thing today. So congrats to my friend Sheriff Page,
- 52:27Speaker 3: and maybe we'll get him on. It'd be nice if
- 52:30Speaker 3: we got a North Carolina affiliate. I'm working on it.
- 52:32Speaker 3: I'm working here. I'm working here. But good on you,
- 52:37Speaker 3: Sheriff Page, because you're the kind of person we need
- 52:41Speaker 3: more of now. Hopefully Rockingham County has a good sheriff
- 52:45Speaker 3: to move in to your stead as well.
