For operator Candice Dillon, it is one of about 30 locations she has cleared ahead of the deadline.
6:45
Just upset, disappointment, because they can't agree.
6:49
I mean, PACE has been trying to get them regulated since 2014, and they just can't come to an agreement on a fair tax amount.

6 MINS LATER

12:59
Right?
13:00
Yeah, I mean, assu- assuming that's what happened, right? I mean, these, these types of super fast roller coasters usually have some, uh, mechanical, uh, sometimes even in a quasi-electric mechanism, which, which is supposed to secure you in place.
7:03
[laughs] Tears me-
7:04
Yeah, he was, he was, he was outraged 'cause he's not used to having to be held accountable or give real answers or be confronted with substance.
7:12
So Nick mentioned the 96%, um, in the betting markets that Cory Booker's reelected.
7:17
It, you know, it's a tough state.
7:19
It's a tough year.
7:20
No one's surprised to hear that.
7:22
But imagine if Republicans were sticking to their guns like Justin Murphy did in this clip across all 50 states, a clear, unapologetic- genetic message, whether you agree with it or not.

20 MINS LATER

27:05
What?
194:09
Mm-hmm
194:10
... by foreign nations that take advantage of trade deficits at our, at our expense.
194:16
So y- you know, I mean, I think that's what he's trying to communicate, but that's always been the problem with President Trump, right? He's a double-edged sword, that he knows how to connect with the common man, but sometimes his delivery misses The nuance.
194:30
Uh, what people need to do is they need to say, "All right.
194:32
Trump is saying, however clumsily, he's trying to get my money back.
194:36
The alternative is Mamdani, and El-Sayed, and AOC, who... and Ilhan Omar, assuming she hasn't been deported, who are trying to take my money and give it to the Learing Center."
196:11
I gotcha
196:11
... two things can be true, right? So people can be frustrated that they don't feel like everything that was promised since '24 got done, but the reason why the polling is showing what it's showing is because the Trump base is pissed also at Congress.
8:45
Right
8:45
... or declined to prosecute.
8:47
But as a prosecutor, you have a pretty wide latitude in deciding, uh, how you want to handle your prosecutions.
8:53
That's why most states elect their prosecutors.
8:55
You don't like it, your recourse is to vote 'em out.
8:58
That's a whole different thing from making representations, misrepresentations to the court, which is what he's now accused of doing.
9:05
Um, and unlike, uh, how most of our leftist friends choose to view the world, usually these things are pretty black and white.

22 MINS LATER

30:45
Yeah.
17:01
Right.
17:01
It's what happens.
17:02
It's not a good thing.
17:03
It should always be a last resort.
17:05
But the Israelis are not out there, and there's no evidence supporting that they're targeting civilians.
17:10
It's they're fighting a total war.
17:12
This...

25 MINS LATER

Martha MacCallumSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
42:36
Right.
209:36
Right.
209:37
You're, you're, you're, you're right, guys.
209:38
But what's missing from this exchange that we just listened to for Fox News is the facts about how socialism is actually performing where it's in practice.
209:47
And it's not just South and Central America, right? Where now that US aid is gone, miraculously all these countries are turning away from it.
209:55
Um, that in of itself should convince people.
209:57
But look here close to home.
209:58
I mean, really, New Jersey's education system is a form of socialism.
210:41
Mm-hmm.
26:01
When was that? Last night?
26:04
It was last night.
26:05
Good morning, my friend.
26:06
And you know that these debates are largely about expectations.
26:11
And everyone, I really thought, at least in the media, thought that Tom King was going to show up on the stage drooling.
26:17
That's the impression you got.
26:20
Free debate comment.
30:44
No? Matt, what are you thinking, my friend?
106:39
What did she admit to?
106:42
So here's exactly what we know.
106:44
The Motor Vehicle Commission in New Jersey, all things evil start with the MVC.
106:50
I get rid of the damn thing, but that's a story for another time.
106:53
They're admitting to 6,600 registered illegal aliens that went in to apply for a driver's license or some kind of ID, but then walked out a bona fide registered New Jersey voter.
107:07
This happened apparently over a one-year period between June 23 and June 2020.
107:15
24.
111:48
But what is it that excites you think the SAVE Act would?
2:43
What did she admit to?
2:46
So here's exactly what we know.
2:48
The Motor Vehicle Commission in New Jersey, all things evil start with the MVC.
2:54

3:19
24.
7:52
But what is it that excites you think the SAVE Act would?
61:11
How did this play out in your mind, Matt, if I may?
61:15
Listen, you know, the hypocrisy, once again, is what stands out to me, right? Because John Fetterman, when he announced he was dealing with depression, got a much different reception from Democrat social media than Tom King received yesterday.
61:31
Yeah, absolutely.
61:53
It's the real deal.
61:54
It's dangerous.
61:56
And many of us have lost someone who's been grappling with it.
61:59
So if you want to debate whether he or his office should have said something sooner, fine.
66:10
We're watching, witnessing in real time New Jersey going the
93:16
Well, of course you're at risk over there with guys like this out.
93:20
It's such a tough situation, right, Dom? Because I don't want to put words in your mouth, but you kind of said it.
93:26
These police in states like New Jersey are just in an awful pickle.
93:31
They went and took that oath to defend their communities, to uphold the Constitution, because they want to protect New Jersey.
93:38
They want to do the job of a cop, but they have, you know, the state government, which has put into place these horrible, obviously dangerous sanctuary state policies that which tie their hands.
93:52
So, you know, is it my career or is it taking the risk? I mean, it's easy for me, I guess, to sit here on the radio and say, you know what, at some point some of these police are just going to have to rebel for all intents and purposes and say, you know what, the hell with this.
94:07
I'm going to do what I need to do.
96:33
by Mama Rooney, yes.
33:24
Well, of course you're at risk over there with guys like this out.
33:29
It's such a tough situation, right, Dom? Because I don't want to put words in your mouth, but you kind of said it.
33:34

34:15
I'm going to do what I need to do.
36:42
by Mama Rooney, yes.
60:44
Yeah
60:44
... can't afford it, and let's just call it for what it is.
60:47
I mean, we know with FIFA, it's not like they care about anything other than making a buck.
60:51
And our governors didn't negotiate a good deal for us.
60:54
Mum Dani, the socialist, [laughs] seemed to have discount tickets.
60:58
Apparently neither Murphy nor correctively Sherrill decided to do as much for the actual host state.
61:05
So you can't afford to get there, and even if you somehow did, maybe you saved your pennies before they got, before they got eliminated from circulation-

7 MINS LATER

67:57
Woo-hoo!
25:14
[laughs]
25:15
... getting the nod.
25:15
I mean, i- I mean, you know [laughs] that I've talked about this before.
25:18
Rebecca Bennett, for anybody who doesn't know, kind of vapid, not a whole lot going on.
25:23
It, it's another helicopter pilot named Rebecca.
25:27
I don't know where they're finding these candidates, right?
27:33
Yeah.
27:33
And now you see why.
73:05
be proud of but nonetheless I've learned a lot of things and I think when I was in high school we learned in debate that you have to be able to debate from your opponent's side better than from your own if you want to be a champion debater and so you need to speak to the opposite side in order to learn what the opposite side is talking about
73:24
I'm an attorney that's my day job I hope no one in your audience holds it against me because we're not all vile many of us are but not everyone And, I mean, that's the foundation of my profession.
73:39
You advocate zealously for your client, their position.
73:44
You're not going to lie or do anything unethical, but you're going to try to show them in the best possible light.
73:48
But you know what? After court is done for the day, you go to that Bar Association event and you break bread.
73:55
You don't take it personally.
73:56
What you're doing is you're performing an important function that is one of the things that keeps our system glued together.
75:15
And it's just very, very sad when you see people who have such a little value for things like human life and when you have a killing of a CEO like Brian Thompson and you have young people who think well that's justifiable and when you look at the breakdown of the percentage of people on the left who think that murder is justifiable in at least certain circumstances versus people from the right it's literally antithetical the two sides are opposite it's so unreal as as a person to the right to see that that percentage of people on the left think that in certain circumstances death would be acceptable and How did we get here? Is it just that we've surrendered to the communists, our educational system?
36:20
need to be proud of but nonetheless i've learned a lot of things and i think it you know when i was in high school we learned in debate that you have to be able to debate from your opponent's side better than from your own if you want to be a champion debater and so you need to speak to the opposite side in order to learn what the opposite side is talking about
36:39

36:53

36:58
You're not going to lie or do anything unethical, but you're going to try to show them in the best possible light.
37:02
But you know what? After court is done for the day, you go to that Bar Association event, and you break bread.
37:09
You don't take it personally.
37:11
What you're doing is you're performing an important function that is one of the things that keeps our system glued together.
39:04
How did we get here? Is it just that we've surrendered to the communists, our educational system?
19:35
(laughs)
19:35
... we prefer, we prefer to stay in the pizza belt up here.
19:39
So, what, what this poll really tells us, Ryan, is that, that Jack is there.
19:43
Uh, Mikey Sherrill is at 47% with a universe of almost 1,300 likely voters.
19:50
Jack's at 45%.
19:51
It very much felt, when I was looking at this, as if I was evaluating a Trump/Clinton 2016 poll.
19:59
You have, almost in some ways, kind of the de facto incumbent Sherrill, because we're talking about a Democrat whose state party has an 850,000 registrant advantage statewide, but unable to get to 50%.
