Ted joined Jeff Daly of WZUS Decatur to talk about the results of the midterm election, why extreme one-party rule is bad for everyone, what Amendment 1 will do now that it’s in place, why Dems won’t fix the SAFE-T Act, the coming flood of higher taxes due to more expensive union contracts, and more.

Audio and summary 
If this bill passes, say goodbye to local control over all Illinois parks and expect to see open drug and alcohol use, needles, no sanitation and fire hazards, but no ordinary park users.
Too bad her sign doesn’t say “FAIR TO TAXPAYERS CONTRACT NOW”
The progressive left is very adept at gaslighting…
*COVID* kills 50%, be very afraid…!
*Republicans* are an existential threat to *our* democracy…!
The *economy* is humming along, there is no *inflation*…!
Our big cities are *safe*, there is no *crime spike*…
*Expertocrasy* in action….
Our Politicians do not care if what they are doing is right. They are politicians. And many who voted for these criminals either do not know what is right or don’t care that we have unconstitutional lawlessness running rampant. They voted with their feelings and for their political party. I don’t think we are dealing with rational people who can critically think and understand facts, data and consequences we will all be feeling moving forward.
What is the final vote count for the Workers Rights Amendment? I can’t find the data anywhere. Is anyone challenging the vote count since it was “close”.
The final vote count is whatever the unions need it to be
No need to challenge as it wasn’t close. The delay was determining the total ballots cast in the election since it didn’t meet the 60% threshold. On November 14th, the Yes votes total 2.171 million and the No/blank votes were 1.813 million. The No/Blank vote would need more than 350k while the Yes votes remained stagnant. The number of VBM ballots that have not been returned is well below 350k. It’s mathematically impossible for it to not pass.
This won’t be certified until December 5th.
Ted, If I heard correctly at the end, you said that the sooner the people of Illinois understand what’s happening, the sooner a victory could come. Isn’t it equally likely the sooner they understand what’s happening, or what’s coming, the sooner they will leave the state, hence the next election will be even more difficult to win than this most recent one. You have all this data and knowledge that tell you it’s game over, but you need to accept it, and encourage anyone listening/reading to get out asap.
Yes, because that means it’s working. It’s working. Simple really
