• 0:02
  Speaker 1: What we're dealing with here is a complete lack of
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: respect for the low.
• 0:08
  Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: the second most famous Thomas and Charlottesville.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Jewart said, steal met have a day at least.
• 0:21
  Speaker 4: For work, when the sun comes up, drops a pet school.
• 0:26
  Speaker 5: Joe has everything, a dream do all the chosen needs.
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: No one that Joe's as smile, he only is.
• 0:39
  Speaker 6: Joe.
• 0:39
  Speaker 7: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:41
  Speaker 7: this morning. And I mean that that isn't just pandering
• 0:47
  Speaker 7: because it sounds good. You know, this is what I do.
• 0:50
  Speaker 7: I want this to be a place where we're all
• 0:52
  Speaker 7: hanging out and we can have a different opinion. Opinion
• 0:55
  Speaker 7: ain't dominion on this program. Will tell you what went
• 0:59
  Speaker 7: on last night, will give you our analysis of whatever
• 1:03
  Speaker 7: made it back to the evidence locker from its collection
• 1:07
  Speaker 7: and what isn't that classic? Well, you know was it evidence?
• 1:14
  Speaker 7: I don't know did it make it back to the
• 1:15
  Speaker 7: evidence locker. So we'll analyze what makes it back to
• 1:19
  Speaker 7: the evidence locker and give you our report. But I
• 1:22
  Speaker 7: want to know how it's impacting you where you are
• 1:25
  Speaker 7: as well. At four three four eight eight two four
• 1:28
  Speaker 7: two one seven. Please don't let me forget. I want
• 1:30
  Speaker 7: to talk about this. This great example to me of
• 1:38
  Speaker 7: why the cult of personality and the idea that faction
• 1:43
  Speaker 7: works as long as your guy is in charge. Because
• 1:46
  Speaker 7: there's something that is afoot amongst the American intelligence services
• 1:52
  Speaker 7: that I think a lot of people in this audience
• 1:54
  Speaker 7: would be all for because Donald Trump wants to do it.
• 1:58
  Speaker 7: But take Joe Biden out of the equation here for
• 2:02
  Speaker 7: a second. Let's say your Barack Obama had suggested something
• 2:06
  Speaker 7: like Project Genesis, and I'm not talking about the Star
• 2:10
  Speaker 7: Trek trope. I'm talking about an artificial intelligence driven intelligence
• 2:16
  Speaker 7: gathering apparatus. Would you be sanguine if Janet Napolitano after
• 2:23
  Speaker 7: issuing her edict that conservatives and former military members were
• 2:28
  Speaker 7: the greatest threat to the homeland security Remember the question
• 2:34
  Speaker 7: from earlier in the program, and if you're joining us
• 2:36
  Speaker 7: in progress, try to copy from the notes of the
• 2:39
  Speaker 7: kid sitting at the desk next to you. But I
• 2:43
  Speaker 7: said earlier in the program, is the concept of defending
• 2:48
  Speaker 7: the government of the United States of America the same
• 2:51
  Speaker 7: thing as defending the United States of America. It's one
• 2:55
  Speaker 7: of the reasons our soldiers swear the very oath that
• 2:58
  Speaker 7: says you're only required to follow legal orders issued by
• 3:05
  Speaker 7: a commanding officer. Those are things for you to ruminate
• 3:10
  Speaker 7: on this morning. But our first things as we get in.
• 3:13
  Speaker 7: The Brown shooter has been found deceased in his storage facility,
• 3:20
  Speaker 7: rounded up there by officials. We don't have any new
• 3:25
  Speaker 7: details aside from the fact that he was a student
• 3:27
  Speaker 7: at Brown University had just rejoined their physics department following
• 3:32
  Speaker 7: an attempt to gain a postgraduate degree. Claudio Manuel nebes
• 3:36
  Speaker 7: Valente killed himself, according to authorities, in this Salem, New Hampshire,
• 3:44
  Speaker 7: storage facility, where they found him hiding after not just
• 3:47
  Speaker 7: committing the shooting at Brown University, but also killing the
• 3:52
  Speaker 7: nuclear scientists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Today is
• 3:59
  Speaker 7: the deadline for release of Epstein documents, and the Department
• 4:04
  Speaker 7: of Justice lawyers are working long into the night trying
• 4:08
  Speaker 7: to fully redact all of their tasks, which in each
• 4:12
  Speaker 7: case exceeds a thousand pages each. These lawyers are trying
• 4:17
  Speaker 7: to go through and redact things that they do not
• 4:20
  Speaker 7: want the public to see in this release. Meanwhile, many
• 4:23
  Speaker 7: people are saying that this vote by the trustees of
• 4:29
  Speaker 7: the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts to
• 4:32
  Speaker 7: rename it the John F. Kennedy and Donald J. Trump
• 4:35
  Speaker 7: Center for the Performing Arts is only being done to
• 4:41
  Speaker 7: distract from the Epstein release. The US military conducted strikes
• 4:47
  Speaker 7: against two more drug trafficking votes alleged to be heading
• 4:51
  Speaker 7: towards the United States and the Eastern Pacific, killing five people.
• 4:55
  Speaker 7: President Trump also said to the press yesterday that he
• 4:59
  Speaker 7: doesn't need congressional approval to carry out ground strikes against
• 5:04
  Speaker 7: drug manufacturing operations on the ground inside the country of Venezuela.
• 5:11
  Speaker 7: The President also signed into law a trillion dollar defense
• 5:15
  Speaker 7: policy bill. The bill, the expansion of the twenty twenty
• 5:19
  Speaker 7: six National Defense Authorization Act, is set at nine hundred
• 5:23
  Speaker 7: and one billion dollars in annual military spending, or roughly
• 5:27
  Speaker 7: eight billion dollars more than the President even asked for.
• 5:32
  Speaker 7: The Department of Energy announced it as agreed with twenty
• 5:36
  Speaker 7: four organizations to sign on, including tech giants like Microsoft, Google,
• 5:41
  Speaker 7: and Nvidia, to advance the Genesis Mission to create a
• 5:46
  Speaker 7: national program aimed at using artificial intelligence to accelerate scientific
• 5:51
  Speaker 7: research in the US and use it for security capabilities.
• 5:56
  Speaker 7: And those are some of our first things on this morning.
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: Hi, this is.

  Speaker 7: All terms here, swift.
• 13:16
  Speaker 25: In addition to yoursel, you hand over to me all
• 13:20
  Speaker 25: data and material regarding the project called Genesis.
• 13:25
  Speaker 7: Genesis.
• 13:26
  Speaker 26: What's that?
• 13:27
  Speaker 17: Don't insult my intelligence?
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the TNK Media Network,
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: All natural and free you of artificial intelligence?
• 13:43
  Speaker 7: Really the Star Trek clip wasn't it enough? He actually
• 13:51
  Speaker 7: had to go get Genesis? All right ahead, you make
• 14:00
  Speaker 7: me answer the telephone. Now, see if we follow the
• 14:03
  Speaker 7: chord progression of ab A cab so Genesis aside from
• 14:19
  Speaker 7: the the aside from the Star Trek reference or the
• 14:23
  Speaker 7: Biblical reference, which is hopefully where more of you went
• 14:27
  Speaker 7: than anything else, is a program. And you're curious because
• 14:34
  Speaker 7: to me, part of this is where it begins, and
• 14:38
  Speaker 7: I do this not for my own edification. Believe me,
• 14:43
  Speaker 7: life would be easier if I was just like one
• 14:45
  Speaker 7: of those show hosts that if Donald Trump wants to
• 14:48
  Speaker 7: do it, damn straight, I'm down with it. But everything
• 14:53
  Speaker 7: that happens, I have to look at it. And if
• 14:56
  Speaker 7: Joe Biden did something during the four years that the
• 14:59
  Speaker 7: auto pen was running the country, and to be fair,
• 15:02
  Speaker 7: I know that's a fun joke, but it was really
• 15:04
  Speaker 7: Valerie Jarrett. Just like Valerie Jarrett was running the country
• 15:08
  Speaker 7: for the eight years Barack Obama was president and he
• 15:10
  Speaker 7: didn't need an auto pen. He had his teleprompter to
• 15:13
  Speaker 7: tell him what to say if they said something. If
• 15:17
  Speaker 7: they said, well, for example, folks, I'm announcing that we're
• 15:22
  Speaker 7: ending all gain of functioned research here in Theodato States. Really,
• 15:26
  Speaker 7: mister President, why did what were we doing it for?
• 15:33
  Speaker 7: Tony take the shot?
• 15:34
  Speaker 27: Leave the Canoli Funcio is going to tadle all the
• 15:36
  Speaker 27: gain of function. We're going to outsource it to the Chinese,
• 15:39
  Speaker 27: just like everything else. Hey, note to self, you know,
• 15:44
  Speaker 27: just remind me later that I'm thinking we need to
• 15:47
  Speaker 27: work on my Barack Obama is starting to sound like
• 15:51
  Speaker 27: Walter cronkite, so curious to me in this development of Genesis,
• 15:57
  Speaker 27: which is a nationwide artificial intelligence program that, just like
• 16:06
  Speaker 27: Dwight Eisenhower warned us, is going to be driven by
• 16:10
  Speaker 27: the US government. The US government is going to use
• 16:13
  Speaker 27: the Department of Energy and follow me faster than you
• 16:17
  Speaker 27: can say smart meters.
• 16:20
  Speaker 7: He went back to twenty Oh my gosh, this is
• 16:23
  Speaker 7: like the tea Party classic hits. Well, yeah, you remember
• 16:26
  Speaker 7: the smart meters and all the electric utility saying well,
• 16:30
  Speaker 7: if you put the smart meters in there, we can
• 16:32
  Speaker 7: save the energy that we're in. And long before data
• 16:37
  Speaker 7: centers became a thing, everyone talked about the idea that
• 16:41
  Speaker 7: the grid was someone that the electric company had to
• 16:47
  Speaker 7: make you use less electricity for somebody else's purpose. That
• 16:52
  Speaker 7: seemed just to be the dumbest thing. And I've seen
• 16:56
  Speaker 7: a bag of hair. I actually have a bag of hair,
• 17:00
  Speaker 7: which I still owe to somebody from a fundraiser we did.
• 17:03
  Speaker 7: But I know what a bag of hair. I've interacted
• 17:08
  Speaker 7: with a bag of hair. I know how dumb a
• 17:10
  Speaker 7: bag of hair is. And the idea that the electric
• 17:13
  Speaker 7: companies could sell you on, the idea that them telling
• 17:17
  Speaker 7: you to shut your electricity off was somehow benefiting someone else.
• 17:23
  Speaker 7: Just never made any sense to me. But here they
• 17:29
  Speaker 7: come again, faster than you can say smart meters. They're
• 17:33
  Speaker 7: going to use the Department of Energy to develop this
• 17:38
  Speaker 7: US government driven in artificial intelligence program that will and
• 17:44
  Speaker 7: this is from the government, you know, bless them. Sometimes
• 17:48
  Speaker 7: they get enough hubris that they just tell you it
• 17:53
  Speaker 7: will accelerate the scientific development of artificial intelligence to strengthen
• 18:02
  Speaker 7: US energy and security capabilities. Why does the Department of
• 18:09
  Speaker 7: Energy care about our security? Now? Before you call four
• 18:13
  Speaker 7: three four eight eight two four two one seven and
• 18:16
  Speaker 7: say but Joe couldn't an EMP and all these other
• 18:19
  Speaker 7: things to the grid. In Yes, hardening the grid is
• 18:22
  Speaker 7: an important thing. And I will give the benefit of
• 18:26
  Speaker 7: the doubt to the Trump administration because it has said,
• 18:29
  Speaker 7: well all the way back to twenty sixteen, that hardening
• 18:32
  Speaker 7: the grid against attacks, especially EMP attacks. And remember how
• 18:37
  Speaker 7: the President was lampooned for talking about hardening the grid
• 18:42
  Speaker 7: and creating redundancies against EMP attacks.
• 18:45
  Speaker 10: Oh what is he listening to overnight talk radio? This
• 18:48
  Speaker 10: is like this is like right after.
• 18:50
  Speaker 27: Alien of Adoptions, is like President Trump going to do
• 18:54
  Speaker 27: something about animal mutilations next?
• 18:56
  Speaker 7: Well, call lines are open. Oh they tore him several
• 19:02
  Speaker 7: new ones over it. Hey, yeah, here we are. But
• 19:07
  Speaker 7: when you use the Department of Energy as the back
• 19:10
  Speaker 7: door in because we all use energy, and you say
• 19:15
  Speaker 7: specifically that you're going to use this to develop greater
• 19:19
  Speaker 7: US national security operations, I might be the only one ide.
• 19:26
  Speaker 7: Because odds are just statistically and demographically researched, I will
• 19:34
  Speaker 7: say that there's a likelihood you voted for Donald Trump.
• 19:38
  Speaker 7: And I'm not saying Donald Trump is doing this for
• 19:41
  Speaker 7: untoward purposes, but brother, brother, you are putting an incendiary
• 19:50
  Speaker 7: device in the hands of whoever the next man up is.
• 19:55
  Speaker 7: Now I'm hearing Abigail Spanberger is already running for president.
• 20:00
  Speaker 7: Here is the Virginia Senate Leader Louise Lucas, who is
• 20:03
  Speaker 7: so bent out of shape, presuming that Glenn Youngkin's whole
• 20:08
  Speaker 7: gubernatorial reign was going simply to get him the gravitas
• 20:13
  Speaker 7: to run for president. Now I'm told, oh, yeah, no,
• 20:15
  Speaker 7: Abigail Spanburg is definitely in for twenty twenty eight. Who
• 20:20
  Speaker 7: is the Democrat that's going to run Gavin Newsom. He's
• 20:23
  Speaker 7: not even looking like a leader or able to bring
• 20:28
  Speaker 7: coalition in California. California's schism in the Republican is actually
• 20:34
  Speaker 7: leading the nationwide polls. Steve Hilton has a slim lead
• 20:43
  Speaker 7: in the California Governor's race, and again they do this
• 20:45
  Speaker 7: kind of at large thing. FM three poll commissioned by
• 20:52
  Speaker 7: the California Issues for him. Hilton leads by one percentage
• 20:58
  Speaker 7: point over Bianco and Representative Eric Swolwell, who are both
• 21:03
  Speaker 7: tied at seventeen percent. But is Gavin Newsom, Abigail Spanberger JB. Pritzker,
• 21:17
  Speaker 7: who's the Democrat? What what would any one of them
• 21:20
  Speaker 7: do with Genesis? If given, if given the power of
• 21:26
  Speaker 7: intelligence from intelligence less ness, something along those.
• 21:33
  Speaker 25: If in addition to yourself, you hand over to me
• 21:38
  Speaker 25: all data and material regarding the project called Genesis Genesis,
• 21:44
  Speaker 25: what's that?
• 21:45
  Speaker 22: Don't insult my intelligence?
• 21:47
  Speaker 1: Correct?
• 21:48
  Speaker 7: No, don't inte insult my artificial intelligence. So we might
• 21:54
  Speaker 7: be sanguine with Donald Trump running Genesis, But what about
• 21:58
  Speaker 7: the next person?
• 22:01
  Speaker 28: Hey guys, I'm Teddy Savage. National League Training for Planet

• 28:14
  Speaker 2: On a need to know basis because you need to
• 28:17
  Speaker 2: know the first thing today.
• 28:20
  Speaker 7: Oh it is time. As the great Supreme Court Justice
• 28:26
  Speaker 7: Byron Wizzard White Ones said, I read the sports pages
• 28:30
  Speaker 7: because I want to read about people's accomplishments. That's not
• 28:33
  Speaker 7: what they report on the front pages. Our sports director
• 28:37
  Speaker 7: Mac McDonald is standing by with us there at full
• 28:41
  Speaker 7: Sale University, where he runs the Dan Patrick School of
• 28:44
  Speaker 7: Sportscasting there. Yeah. Yeah, you run your mouth then, Okay,
• 28:53
  Speaker 7: So Mac, I have to I have to say. I
• 28:55
  Speaker 7: was going through the news for today's program and one
• 28:58
  Speaker 7: of the stories it wasn't a story I needed to
• 29:01
  Speaker 7: bring up to the general population, but it struck me
• 29:03
  Speaker 7: as as something I want to I want to announce now. Okay,
• 29:08
  Speaker 7: Joe Thomas predicts that by this time next year, perhaps
• 29:14
  Speaker 7: by this time next month, there will be substantive changes
• 29:18
  Speaker 7: to the way the NCAA Football does its college football playoffs.
• 29:24
  Speaker 7: And you want to know how I know that, Mac.
• 29:26
  Speaker 10: How do you know that?
• 29:29
  Speaker 7: One huge story the traffic at DraftKings and MGM Sportsbook
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: is cratering over this opening weekend. And there are six
• 29:43
  Speaker 7: stories I've seen on six different wire services about how
• 29:47
  Speaker 7: bad the action is. If you will at these sportsbook
• 29:52
  Speaker 7: sites over this opening weekend of the college football.
• 29:56
  Speaker 10: Players, you're not happy with the traffic.
• 29:58
  Speaker 7: Yeah, they said it's cratering. It's it's almost almost significantly
• 30:05
  Speaker 7: down from what their uh, I guess previous expectations were
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: or whatnot. So the gamblers are not interested in this
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: week's college football playoffs, and that's what will drive the
• 30:18
  Speaker 7: change because.
• 30:19
  Speaker 32: I thought, I thought a gazillion dollars will be on Oregon.
• 30:22
  Speaker 7: And nobody cares. You got to spend too much to
• 30:27
  Speaker 7: make too much. I mean, they are all such prohibitive favorites,
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: but so so I guarantee there will be phone calls
• 30:34
  Speaker 7: from the head office somewhere at MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
• 30:37
  Speaker 7: Some guy is picking up the phone, looks looks a
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: little like al Pacino and says, yeah, I want to
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: talk to the guy in Hoge.
• 30:46
  Speaker 10: We got, we got to move a couple lines.
• 30:49
  Speaker 7: Nobody's calling to put no money on the ducks. So
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: uh so expect that first round of the college football
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: playoffs to be eliminated by next year.
• 31:00
  Speaker 32: We got Bama, let's change that Bama line by seven?
• 31:06
  Speaker 10: Yes, anyway, transition because I may know why.
• 31:10
  Speaker 32: The last thing we needed, and I'm glad you you
• 31:14
  Speaker 32: led with that. The last thing we needed was another
• 31:18
  Speaker 32: poll and another index. Okay, prepare for and this has
• 31:22
  Speaker 32: been going on for a little while. Again it flew
• 31:24
  Speaker 32: under my radar because I'm not interested a college football
• 31:28
  Speaker 32: Happiness Index, oh god has been has been. It uses
• 31:32
  Speaker 32: data like wins, recruiting revenue, social media buzz to rank
• 31:37
  Speaker 32: fan bases from zero to one hundred with their happiness
• 31:41
  Speaker 32: with their team.
• 31:43
  Speaker 10: All right, So in.
• 31:44
  Speaker 32: November, Georgia was one, Bama two, ucf was three.
• 31:49
  Speaker 10: That's in our backyard, Notre Dame four.
• 31:52
  Speaker 32: At this time, Virginia Tech was twenty third and UVA
• 31:57
  Speaker 32: was seventieth. Tech was probably coming off a win, probably
• 32:01
  Speaker 32: against n Ze State at that time. I didn't have
• 32:03
  Speaker 32: time to look at all the count and then Virginia,
• 32:05
  Speaker 32: in their wake Forest loss in November plummeted with the
• 32:09
  Speaker 32: happiness Index. Well now, okay, now the new index. Dogs
• 32:16
  Speaker 32: won Ohio State two, Michigan three, Bama four, Auburn is
• 32:20
  Speaker 32: sixty sixth, Virginia Tech fell to sixty.
• 32:22
  Speaker 10: Eighth, and Uba has moved into the top twenty. So
• 32:26
  Speaker 10: there you go.
• 32:26
  Speaker 7: Well, you know, second, here, hang on, I have friends
• 32:29

• 33:47
  Speaker 32: Hold, well, I could light up the big one, but
• 33:50
  Speaker 32: my wife would would kill me, you know.
• 33:52
  Speaker 10: So all right, real quick's that story.
• 33:54
  Speaker 32: And I just want to uh turn to this because
• 33:56
  Speaker 32: it was sad news yesterday the NASCAR World Morning the
• 33:59
  Speaker 32: death of former driver Greg Biffle. Seven people died on
• 34:02
  Speaker 32: the citation five point fifty one of the top seventy
• 34:05
  Speaker 32: five drivers. Biffole was a native of Vancouver. He won
• 34:10
  Speaker 32: nineteen times on the Cup circuit. He was an Infinity
• 34:12
  Speaker 32: champion and O two. Anyway, the plane was headed to
• 34:15
  Speaker 32: Sarasota and for some reason, and they think one of
• 34:18
  Speaker 32: the engines was on fire or whatever, it turned around
• 34:20
  Speaker 32: and tried to get back to the Statesville Airport.
• 34:22
  Speaker 10: And that Statesville is different from the Charlotte airport.
• 34:26
  Speaker 32: If in probably a lot of people in Virginia understand
• 34:29
  Speaker 32: that and know that a lot of people that are
• 34:30
  Speaker 32: listen to us in Carolina. Mark Winekrantz is an aviation expert,
• 34:35
  Speaker 32: and he said at Statesville there's no full time tower,
• 34:38
  Speaker 32: and if the pilot suspected problems, it was only eight
• 34:41
  Speaker 32: minutes to Charlotte, and that the Charlotte people could have
• 34:44
  Speaker 32: been ready, they would have had support on the ground anyway.
• 34:47
  Speaker 32: Here's Mark Winekrantz yesterday being interviewed on a Tampa TV station,
• 34:52
  Speaker 32: knowing the FAA and talking to them.
• 34:56
  Speaker 26: I can't imagine what was going on with all the passengers.
• 35:00
  Speaker 17: We don't even know what kind of fire was.
• 35:01
  Speaker 10: Oh, you're not getting that.
• 35:03
  Speaker 7: We're hearing it. It's like you know, I can hear
• 35:05
  Speaker 7: it off your microphone. Oh oh, it's not feeding us
• 35:09
  Speaker 7: through the uplink. That okay, Mumford tea.
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: Fire that's why. No, My bad, my bad, My bad, bad.
• 35:15
  Speaker 7: I forgot to click. We were talking.
• 35:16
  Speaker 10: All right, I'm gonna back up here go you'll get
• 35:18
  Speaker 10: it now.
• 35:19
  Speaker 26: In an aircraft this size, I can't imagine what was
• 35:22
  Speaker 26: going on with all the passengers, and we don't even
• 35:25
  Speaker 26: know what kind of fire was. Was it an engine fire,
• 35:27
  Speaker 26: which is bad but not as bad as a cabin fire.
• 35:31
  Speaker 26: Was it important that he get the airplane down immediately?
• 35:34
  Speaker 26: Charlotte my air eight minutes away, And had they done that,
• 35:37
  Speaker 26: they could have given notification. He could have executed a checklist,
• 35:40
  Speaker 26: secured the engine, and had fire emergency equipment waiting for
• 35:43
  Speaker 26: him when he landed. It would been a better option
• 35:47
  Speaker 26: if you had the time if he had the presence
• 35:48
  Speaker 26: of mind.
• 35:49
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 35:49
  Speaker 32: So anyway, with all that happening, and you know not
• 35:53
  Speaker 32: there's no comparison or whatever. But I was telling my
• 35:56
  Speaker 32: wife this morning over a cup of coffee that years
• 35:58
  Speaker 32: and years ago, is back in the early eighties, and
• 36:00
  Speaker 32: for some reason, the Virginia basketball coaching staff and yours
• 36:04
  Speaker 32: truly had to fly to Carolina and not with the team.
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: A couple of assistants took.
• 36:09
  Speaker 32: The basketball team down down to Carolina and we were
• 36:13
  Speaker 32: we were behind, we were late for some reason.
• 36:15
  Speaker 10: I mean, I don't know what it was.
• 36:16
  Speaker 32: Terry Helen was and Terry Gates, who you know played
• 36:20
  Speaker 32: at UVA and is from Richmond. Terry and I sat
• 36:23
  Speaker 32: in the back of the plane and the plane from
• 36:25
  Speaker 32: the Charlotte Charlottesville Airport took off and all of a sudden,
• 36:30
  Speaker 32: Terry looks out and there is oil, scream just streaming
• 36:35
  Speaker 32: out of the engine, just stream.
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: I meanto the oil, and.
• 36:38
  Speaker 10: I said, oh that. And just as we said that,
• 36:41
  Speaker 10: the pilot said, hey, we got a bank.
• 36:42
  Speaker 32: We got to turn around, and it banked and got
• 36:44
  Speaker 32: back on the ground. And so I can just imagine
• 36:47
  Speaker 32: this whole buffel thing. And I know there's no way
• 36:49
  Speaker 32: of comparing. And I don't mean to compare, but when
• 36:52
  Speaker 32: you're on a private plane like that that seats seven
• 36:55
  Speaker 32: eight because the interior is like a dining room.
• 36:58
  Speaker 7: You know, you had dining.
• 37:00
  Speaker 32: Couple of tables and you know four chairs pretty you know,
• 37:02
  Speaker 32: tied together, five chairs, six years whatever it might be,
• 37:06
  Speaker 32: and it's just not a pretty thing. But anyway, they'll
• 37:09
  Speaker 32: be talking about that for you know, quite some time.
• 37:11

  Speaker 7: of the Southern states. Yeah when he came in, like
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: what people race cars in Washington State and Oregon and yeah,
• 37:34
  Speaker 7: I mean he really was a tail play.
• 37:36
  Speaker 32: He's you know, as I said, voted one of the
• 37:38
  Speaker 32: top seventy five guys of all time. Loved was headed
• 37:41
  Speaker 32: to the I don't think he was tabbed for the
• 37:44
  Speaker 32: Hall of Fame yet what was headed to the NASCAR
• 37:46
  Speaker 32: Hall of Fame? Certainly he was a big time businessman
• 37:50
  Speaker 32: and supported NASCAR crazy.
• 37:52

• 44:21
  Speaker 7: Joining us now a man who knows a few things
• 44:23
  Speaker 7: about the organization of the US House of Representatives and
• 44:28
  Speaker 7: fought the battles and has the scars to prove it
• 44:32
  Speaker 7: over trying to bring your representation back to your representatives.
• 44:38
  Speaker 7: He is former congressman and chair of the Freedom Concass
• 44:41
  Speaker 7: now podcaster and the host of the Good for America
• 44:44
  Speaker 7: podcast is Bob Good Good morning, Bob. How are you
• 44:48
  Speaker 7: doing this morning, sir?
• 44:50
  Speaker 35: Good morning, Joe doing well. Merry Christmas, my.
• 44:53
  Speaker 7: Friend, Merry Christmas as well to you and Tracy and
• 44:56
  Speaker 7: all the kids and grandkids and all the extended family
• 44:59
  Speaker 7: as well. Discharge petition. And I know that the beginnings
• 45:04
  Speaker 7: of your place on the national stage came as chair
• 45:09
  Speaker 7: of the Freedom concus leading the push against Kevin McCarthy's
• 45:14
  Speaker 7: control over all legislation coming to the floor of the House,
• 45:18
  Speaker 7: trying to push for more things to be brought to
• 45:22
  Speaker 7: the floor. That to be fair, I think many Americans
• 45:25
  Speaker 7: would have just assumed their congressman was working on bringing
• 45:30
  Speaker 7: and also making the Speaker of the House responsible to
• 45:34
  Speaker 7: the members if he's blocking this stuff. We've got a
• 45:38
  Speaker 7: discharge petition, not on something I really like to think of,
• 45:42
  Speaker 7: which is extending the Obamacare subsidies for three more years.
• 45:46
  Speaker 7: But this is exactly what you fought against in the
• 45:49
  Speaker 7: Freedom concuss which is the Speaker's control over what comes
• 45:54
  Speaker 7: in legislation, and I think it's to the peril of
• 45:57
  Speaker 7: the American people, even in the case of expand Obamacare,
• 46:00
  Speaker 7: because it seems like it's forcing Republicans to want to
• 46:05
  Speaker 7: capitulate with these subsidies.
• 46:08
  Speaker 35: Well, it is concerning that Republicans, for liberal Republicans, joined
• 46:14
  Speaker 35: with Democrats to force a vote Ultimately it won't happen
• 46:18
  Speaker 35: apparently until the new year, but to force a vote
• 46:20
  Speaker 35: on extending Biden's COVID enhanced Obamacare subsidies. So Obamacare is
• 46:26
  Speaker 35: a failure on its face. It's made it it's less successible,
• 46:30
  Speaker 35: it's made it more expensive, it's not working by any
• 46:34
  Speaker 35: standard of measurement, and Republicans ought to reject it and
• 46:38
  Speaker 35: auto enhance or act more free market reforms like they
• 46:42
  Speaker 35: did in the bill that they've passed out of the
• 46:44
  Speaker 35: House just a day or two ago. However, these liberal
• 46:47
  Speaker 35: Republicans are giving essentially Democrats control of the floor with
• 46:52
  Speaker 35: this discharge petitions kind of considered the nuclear option. It's
• 46:55
  Speaker 35: rare for majority members to do this, to join with
• 46:58
  Speaker 35: minority members all Democrats, and for Republicans to force a
• 47:03
  Speaker 35: vote on extending the Obamacare subsidies at the cost of
• 47:07
  Speaker 35: tens of billions of dollars for people making up to
• 47:09
  Speaker 35: six hundred thousand dollars, free premiums for people making up
• 47:14
  Speaker 35: to one hundred and twenty five thousand dollars or so,
• 47:17
  Speaker 35: and again making things where she subsidized something from the
• 47:19
  Speaker 35: federal government that makes it more expensive, it makes it worse.
• 47:23
  Speaker 35: And that's what these four liberal Republicans did. And it's interesting, Joe,
• 47:28
  Speaker 35: because it was the moderates, as they called themselves, liberal
• 47:31
  Speaker 35: moderate members, the status quo establishment types, who were so
• 47:35
  Speaker 35: just furious whenever they felt like the Conservatives, the freedom
• 47:40
  Speaker 35: Callcus members weren't being so called team players and were
• 47:43
  Speaker 35: using the House rules to fight against the party. And
• 47:48
  Speaker 35: here you had liberals do the very same thing. But interestingly,
• 47:51
  Speaker 35: you do not have creds of primaries from President Trump
• 47:55
  Speaker 35: for these liberal members. Those are reserved for people like
• 47:57
  Speaker 35: Thomas Massey who don't agree for any subsidies.
• 48:01
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 48:03
  Speaker 7: Yeah, if you, if you stick your neck out, as
• 48:05
  Speaker 7: you know, as happened to you. And and I know
• 48:08
  Speaker 7: that I think Kevin McCarthy carries pretty serious grudges. He's
• 48:12
  Speaker 7: got a bag full of them there, and I wouldn't
• 48:15
  Speaker 7: want to cross him because he seems to have a
• 48:17
  Speaker 7: long memory and a big bag full of grudges to
• 48:19
  Speaker 7: carry around. But beyond that, what is it? And I
• 48:25
  Speaker 7: wrote a column that's going to publish today in the
• 48:27
  Speaker 7: Daily Signal dot com about why Republicans go along with
• 48:32
  Speaker 7: these subsidy programs. It's about Governor elect Spanberger and all
• 48:37
  Speaker 7: of her Santa claus gimmes and subsidies and things like that.
• 48:42
  Speaker 7: And and they don't have to win all the Republicans,
• 48:45
  Speaker 7: as you mentioned, two hundred Republicans are aligned against continuing
• 48:50
  Speaker 7: these subsidies. But you just need a few of them
• 48:53
  Speaker 7: who are afraid of, i don't know, getting yelled at
• 48:55
  Speaker 7: back in the district or you know, they ignore the
• 48:58
  Speaker 7: district when it comes to like energy policy. Why are
• 49:01
  Speaker 7: they all of a sudden afraid of saying, hey, this
• 49:03
  Speaker 7: subsidy has made it worse. And as you said, it's
• 49:06
  Speaker 7: indicative of the fact that Obamacare on its face is
• 49:09
  Speaker 7: a failure.
• 49:11
  Speaker 35: Well, the bottom line is that most Republicans and most
• 49:16
  Speaker 35: members of Congress are primarily concerned with or motivated by
• 49:20
  Speaker 35: staying in Congress and getting re elected and wanting to
• 49:23
  Speaker 35: do what is popular and wanting to take the path
• 49:26
  Speaker 35: of least resistance. That's why you have liberal members like
• 49:29
  Speaker 35: Jen Kiggins in Virginia two, or even establishment members like
• 49:33
  Speaker 35: Rob Whitman in Virginia one on the Republican side calling
• 49:38
  Speaker 35: for the extension of these subsidies from the beginning, as
• 49:41
  Speaker 35: soon as the healthcare battle began to come on the right,
• 49:43
  Speaker 35: or the health insurance battle, I should say, came on
• 49:45
  Speaker 35: the horizon. But too many Republicans just don't reject big government,
• 49:50
  Speaker 35: deficit spending, government subsidies, government control. And you know, I
• 49:56
  Speaker 35: predicted all along Republicans would make a bad deal on this.
• 49:58
  Speaker 35: We're not out of the woods, own because what passed
• 50:01
  Speaker 35: the House hasn't yet passed the Senate, of course, and
• 50:03
  Speaker 35: it's not going to pass this year, and then you're
• 50:06
  Speaker 35: going to come back with a shutdown fight come end
• 50:08
  Speaker 35: of January, because of funny the government expires the end
• 50:10
  Speaker 35: of January, no boy, and extending the Obamacare subsidies gives
• 50:14
  Speaker 35: the leverage, rewards the Democrats, and rewards the government and
• 50:20
  Speaker 35: continues death suspending.
• 50:21
  Speaker 7: Well, and as you said, at the peril of the
• 50:23
  Speaker 7: people who are sitting here saying hold on, I can't
• 50:25
  Speaker 7: afford health insurance. And this is what happens with the
• 50:28
  Speaker 7: college tuition, electric bills, housing. You know, the more the
• 50:32
  Speaker 7: government subsidizes it. And I get it, Bob, and I
• 50:36
  Speaker 7: think you and I have talked about this. I get
• 50:38
  Speaker 7: the fact that people are struggling and taking too much
• 50:40
  Speaker 7: of their take home pay to pay for things like
• 50:43
  Speaker 7: housing and groceries and those things that we all want
• 50:46
  Speaker 7: to do. We all want to work. That's why we
• 50:49
  Speaker 7: try to save and work and be diligent providers for
• 50:52
  Speaker 7: our family. It just keeps getting harder and harder because
• 50:56
  Speaker 7: there's no incentive, especially when you do supply side city.
• 51:00
  Speaker 7: So let's say, you know, Dominion Energy or whatever electric
• 51:04
  Speaker 7: utility is saying, well, we've got a guaranteed amount of
• 51:07
  Speaker 7: money coming in from you know, a ratepayer that might
• 51:12
  Speaker 7: default on their payments if it wasn't for the government subsidy,
• 51:15
  Speaker 7: so we can run up the bill on other people
• 51:19
  Speaker 7: that are going to pay it, and you know where
• 51:23
  Speaker 7: maybe just have to look like the bad guy when
• 51:26
  Speaker 7: we cancel somebody's subsidy. But this, this supply side subsidy
• 51:30
  Speaker 7: is some of the worst stuff where you don't even
• 51:33
  Speaker 7: know the government's paying your bill until the government stops.
• 51:36
  Speaker 7: Like snap benefits well.
• 51:39
  Speaker 35: As long as something is provided for quote free. Of
• 51:42
  Speaker 35: course it's not for free, it's paid for by the taxpayer,
• 51:44
  Speaker 35: as als it's free, then you don't have the incentive
• 51:47
  Speaker 35: to comparison shop, to be careful with the allocation of
• 51:51
  Speaker 35: the resources. You don't even know what the bill is.
• 51:53
  Speaker 35: You just pass it on to the government, which means
• 51:55
  Speaker 35: pass it on to the taxpayers. And so you don't
• 51:57
  Speaker 35: have competition, you don't have transparent See, you don't have
• 52:02
  Speaker 35: free market, you know, principles in place when the government
• 52:04
  Speaker 35: controls something, when the government funds something, when the government
• 52:07
  Speaker 35: subsidizes something, and so it just doesn't work, has never worked.
• 52:13
  Speaker 35: And you don't fix a problem by doubling down on
• 52:16
  Speaker 35: the causes that created the problem to begin with, which
• 52:18
  Speaker 35: is the government control of health insurance and healthcare.
• 52:21
  Speaker 7: I know there's an expression your friend and mine Tom Garrett,
• 52:25
  Speaker 7: for another former congressman in my list of friends, maybe
• 52:30
  Speaker 7: I'm maybe I'm the problem, Bob, this of all my
• 52:33
  Speaker 7: friends wind up being ex congressman. But he has an
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: expression he likes to use. If you're explaining you're losing,
• 52:41
  Speaker 7: and maybe that's the problem is explaining how free markets,
• 52:44
  Speaker 7: you know, will help people takes too long. I'd like
• 52:48
  Speaker 7: your thoughts on that. You know, how do we explain?
• 52:51
  Speaker 17: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 17: leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a
• 52:58

  Speaker 8: I'm a veteran.
