runoff

runoff

, closely watched Democrat Rafael Warnock took victory in the In the final race of the nation's midterm elections, the incumbent narrowly defeated his Republican challenger Herschel Walker and consolidated the Democratic majority in the Senate, now 51-49.

Advantage Walker was hand-picked by former President Trump and is at least the fifth Trump-backed Senate candidate to be defeated. Warnock's victory gives the party an extra seat to help advance its agenda. It is my honor to speak the four most powerful words ever spoken in a democracy. The people have spoken. Alright. Congratulations to Rafael Warnock. I mean, those are the four most powerful words. in American democracy, here's your sticker, but sure, I guess the people have spoken works too, but yeah, the Democrats have now won 51 seats in the Senate and you realize what that means basically nothing, not because they lost the camera, but still 51 is bigger. out of 50. so it's great, it's great and you couldn't have had a race between two more different candidates.

When you think about it, like when you take a moment when you walk away from the race, you understand how crazy this was. You had Raphael Warnock. a pastor a pastor who was preaching in the same church as MLK and Herschel Walker a man who thinks MLK is how you spell milk, but despite that it was close, it was really cool, in fact, if I were Rafael Warner, my victory speech would not. It would have been me smiling and it would have been much more different. He is a kind man. He was talking about democracy and the promise of America. to Washington and Herschel Walker goes home defeated, but don't feel bad for the Herschel boys, he actually took the news pretty well, yeah, his people were like, don't get this, don't let this get you down.

Take me down like it's the Senate race. He's like you think he should run me for the Senate. Yes, he's fine, what is it? But let's move on to some important news about the coronavirus. For most Americans, greed has become something you simply try to ignore while living your life. mosquitoes or jury duty, meanwhile in China they have been treating greed as an existential danger, so every man, woman and child, but believe it or not, after weeks of historic protests by the Chinese people that is about to change , the Chinese government has made a radical decision. change this morning officially moving away from its

strict

zero

-greed policies now this move appears to be in response to widespread protests in recent weeks, including some of the boldest demonstrations this country has seen in decades.

China's national health commission held a press conference to announce that mandatory testing coveted for most people will end immediately, they will no longer have to

show

a negative result in public places and those armies of health workers with protective suits will stop closing apartment complexes and people with

covid

will not be forced to go into state quarantine they will be able to recover all that at home and the commitment to vaccinate the elderly seems like common sense, but it is a big downgrade for Xi Jinping and the Communist Party, which saw protests break out in more than 20 cities with calls for freedom, not confinements.

I'm happy for the people of China, I really am because I don't know if you were following this, but these re

strict

ions were really wild. I mean, you weren't even allowed to quarantine at home, you had to spend it in a government quarantine facility. that looks like a terminal at LaGuardia and that's really a disaster because the only positive side of being covered is having an excuse to go out of plans, you know, but China said: no, no, no, you've coveted it and you have plans with 600 strangers that's what you have and you know after hearing this story I would love to see an American citizen and a Chinese citizen sit down and talk about

covid

because you always hear Americans talk about how they feel oppressed by the backdoor restrictions .

Here, yes, the Chinese person will be brutal. I was literally harassed at home, beaten by the police, and sent to a quarantine camp. I felt like I felt you brother this summer. In fact, I have to leave Applebee's. We are not different at all. My friend, we are both suffering, but let's move on to some news from the world of air travel. If you fly a lot, then you know what it's like to board a plane. You arrive at your gates and try to get in line with the boarding group ahead of you. you put your luggage in the overhead bins on its side so no one else can use it and then you sit down and you put your phone on airplane mode and it has to be on airplane mode because if someone calls you while you're on a plane, the plane immediately crashes into an elementary school that's how it works is science, right, we know it well.

It turns out that in Europe all that is about to change. Could this be the possible end of putting your phone in airplane mode, perhaps when you take a flight? in June airplane mode will not be mandatory on flights in the European Union the European Commission recently ruled that airlines can provide 5G technology on board the plane that allows passengers to send and receive calls and text messages, yes, but ultimately the Passengers in Europe can make calls while I'm on a plane because every time I've been on a plane I've always thought, man, I wish everyone was having a different conversation out loud right now, that baby can't be the only one. whoever is allowed to make noise, come on, man.

I know some people like that. I think it sucks. I feel like as a society we are quickly running out of places that will give you an excuse not to take a call. You know, you used to be able to say sorry, I wasn't home. I missed your call when the cell phone went off. Yeah, so you have to pretend like you were going into a tunnel. Oh yes, Uncle Junior. I'd love to hear the story, but I'm going to talk about it. Then the tunnels had reception and the subway had reception. now airplanes get reception very early the only excuse you have for not being able to receive a call is that you're on T-Mobile but I was such a good brother but I mean, I guess if you really need to make a call to an airplane, it's not the worst in the world to have an option but I just hope pilots don't have access to this feature guys major storm system okay Greg this is going to take all your concentration and skills as a pilot but you could do this to concentrate just concentrate 20. no I won't do anything, you know me, I'm just living my terrible life, okay, that's all for today's headlines, let's move on to something that everyone loves, it's time to check today's lottery numbers with Dulce Sloan.

Everyone, what's going on. Good to see you, fri

ends

. Yes, don't tell what today's winning lottery numbers are. Yes Yes Yes Yes. Listen, listen, Trevor, now I hear what you're saying. a plane on the phone, but have you ever heard a good argument? I'm talking hot tea, serve it fresh from an exit line, come on, imagine this, you're on an international flight, movie trash, you're already eight years old, there's nothing to do. and suddenly you hear Stacy in the middle seat call her husband and tell him that she's pregnant because she took a pregnancy test in the terminal bathroom and then he says pregnant, how have we not had sex in six months? how can you get pregnant? test at Hudson News at the airport, did you bring it from home?

Whose baby is it? Now we have something to do. Now all of us in row 18 have to decide if he's going to divorce her, right? But you're already in it. roll 23 and the good thing is in row 18. so now the stewardess has to get on the public address system and go listen. Stacy is pregnant, we don't know if she is by her husband or someone else, but there is more information to come. We're also at 30,000 feet right now, so now everyone on the plane has to go. Is this a miracle or a sin? Is Stacy a hero or is she Jezebel Harlan Incorporated?

Either way, this is my movie in flight now and these are the people coming together as a people. That's okay, because what people love to do is other people's business and that's why I think we should have phone calls on airplanes. Thank you so much. So what happened to the baby? I don't know, I don't know, say it. I'm not going to Scotland, but now I have to follow this lady for the rest of the story. She was on her way to Dubai, now I have to go to cold Scotland and see what this heifer is doing.

Well, I can't wait. find out Sweet, but we're running out of time. Can we go through the logical numbers? Please, yes, yes. Listen, by the way, now you know she's an Atlanta girl, she's George Peach and Atlanta. Last night I was going crazy about the war, not about Victory. Okay, it was so interesting that my friend's son was late for school this morning and he's 10 years old. Trevor, this was the real battle of Southern politics. Well, a pastor and a football player, the god of football and the god of God, and I'm glad. Herschel didn't win, okay, we're all very happy that the black-haired man didn't win, but the problem is that now that he's not running, we don't know where he was during the election.

I felt safe, he was in front of the camera the entire time. Okay, but now he is incognegro and listens for free, this man is a threat. He'll go around posing as FBI agents. Okay, get everyone pregnant with his mom. This is a public safety emergency. What and when I say that everyone in his mom I'm worried because my mom? He lives in Georgia, we have to fight to find this man, okay, listen now, I know a couple of places where it won't be a library, uh, the condensation of a CBS Family Court, we know it, he won't be and You'll listen to America for just 65 cents a day. you can help me find Herschel Walker okay, well we'll say, don't say, people will have the money to help you if we can help them with Lost.
