  Speaker 5: Joe, thank you for letting us be of service to
• 0:34
  Speaker 5: you this Friday morning. I Joe, we'll tell you what
• 0:40
  Speaker 5: went on last night. We will give you our analysis
• 0:43
  Speaker 5: of it full show, but I want to hear how
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: it's impacting you where you are redistricting Mania. Will it
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: blow up in Republicans face? You know we talked about that. Bob,
• 0:55
  Speaker 5: the host of the Good for America podcast, coming back
• 0:58
  Speaker 5: with us in a little bit. I've to it's just
• 1:01
  Speaker 5: too good here. After talking about abortion in the last segment,
• 1:07
  Speaker 5: Marie writes into fourth to JT in the Morning Radio
• 1:11
  Speaker 5: at gmail dot com. Joe, I can't believe you're out
• 1:15
  Speaker 5: there still going on about this. The taxpayers have to
• 1:19
  Speaker 5: pay for men's viagra but won't pay for women's abortions.
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: Oh so, first off, yes, there are reimbursements through Obamacare
• 1:35
  Speaker 5: that will pay you for prescription medication for erectile dysfunction. Yes,
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: they does happen. Should that happen? No, So you're joining
• 1:48
  Speaker 5: me in the chorus against the Patient Protection and Affordable
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: CAREC I don't think taxpayers should be paying for this
• 1:56
  Speaker 5: kind of medical treatment at all. I don't think we
• 1:59
  Speaker 5: should be paying for me treatments in general. But you
• 2:03
  Speaker 5: know I lost that argument when Tom Perriello casts the
• 2:07
  Speaker 5: vote on the rule to bring some bill about I
• 2:10
  Speaker 5: don't know, it's about veterans transportation, and they stapled the
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: Affordable Care Act to it so it could be run
• 2:19
  Speaker 5: through demon pass. Because nothing says you know, constitutional more
• 2:27
  Speaker 5: than you know sneaking something onto the floor of the
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: House of Representatives and then saying we have to pass
• 2:32
  Speaker 5: it to find out what's in it. But you know,
• 2:35
  Speaker 5: I that is, without question, one of the things that
• 2:39
  Speaker 5: the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act does, And I'm
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: sorry it does it. It shouldn't do it, but it does.
• 2:47
  Speaker 5: But two wrongs don't make a right. And you know
• 2:51
  Speaker 5: the con of calling calling it healthcare, it's contraception. If
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: you if you wanted to be honest about say, taxpayer
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: funded contraception. You all got mad when the girl what
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: was her name, Fluff spoke to Congress and everyone got
• 3:07
  Speaker 5: mad because she said she thought the taxpayer should pay
• 3:10
  Speaker 5: for her contraception. So you learn pretty quickly, don't call
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: it that anyway. Our first things this morning, in wake
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: of the Supreme Courts ruling on redistricting, the left is
• 3:23
  Speaker 5: now saying that there are multiple places they could redistrict.
• 3:27
  Speaker 6: Now.
• 3:29
  Speaker 5: The Cook Political Report says that as many as seven
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: red states could redistrict under the idea that they're no
• 3:36
  Speaker 5: longer required to have majority minority precincts after that was
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: declared unconstitutional Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Tennessee, and South Carolina. Meanwhile,
• 3:50
  Speaker 5: Hakeem Jeffrey said, Okay, we'll see those states and we'll
• 3:54
  Speaker 5: up the ante with New York, Illinois, Maryland, and Colorado.
• 3:59
  Speaker 5: Much of this is about the twenty twenty eight election,
• 4:03
  Speaker 5: not twenty twenty six. However, Secretary of War Pete Hegseith
• 4:08
  Speaker 5: argued Thursday that a ceasefire with Iran pauses the War
• 4:12
  Speaker 5: Powers Act sixty Day Clock, which members of the Committee
• 4:18
  Speaker 5: like Tim Kaine let pass even though they insist that
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: the president had no authority to bomb Iran. But they've
• 4:24
  Speaker 5: let that statement hang out there and arguing that it
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: doesn't but then by arguing that it doesn't stop the
• 4:30
  Speaker 5: sixty day clock, they admitted the sixty day clock exists. Meanwhile,
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: with the Strait of horror moves still being heavily restricted,
• 4:39
  Speaker 5: oil is now trading at one hundred and twenty six
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: dollars per bottle, the highest since the start of the
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: bombardment of Tehran. Meanwhile, the President, and trying to build
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: a coalition of NATO allies, has threatened to pull US
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: troops out of the European c trees that stand against
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: the coalition trying to get the Strait of Hormuz open,
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: notably Germany, who still is arguing that the President has
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: made matters worse with his efforts in Iran. President Trump
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: signed bipartisan legislation Thursday funding the Department of Homeland Security
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: but not its immigration enforcement operations, capitulating to the Democrats,
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: who again are governing from the back seat. Jeff Van Drew,
• 5:33
  Speaker 5: Republican from New Jersey, told NEWSBAKS that he expects the
• 5:37
  Speaker 5: FBI Director James Comey's case to wind up in front
• 5:40
  Speaker 5: of the Supreme Court on a matter of free speech
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: or not. We're talking about the photograph eighty six forty
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: seven written in shells on a beach, and those are
• 5:51

• 7:59
  Speaker 9: Forty Considered by most optimized Curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 9: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 9: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 11: Hi, everybody, I'm Jack and it's always a boy. Growing
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 11: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 11: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 11: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:18
  Speaker 11: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 11: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 11: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 11: at airports. They comfort returning veterans. Some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 11: from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 11: a change in their blood chemistry.
• 10:43

  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 13: art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 12: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  Speaker 12: brain is saying when it's time to go home.

• 12:32
  Speaker 3: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased

  Speaker 1: Joe Thomas.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: Something wrong with the world today.
• 13:20
  Speaker 17: I don't know what it is.
• 13:23
  Speaker 1: Something's wrong with us.
• 13:28
  Speaker 8: The same things in a different way.
• 13:31
  Speaker 15: God knows.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: It ain't his showing no surprise. It only.
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: Deceptive language. And I mean, it's the oldest thing in
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: the world to play word games, to trying to fool people.
• 13:53
  Speaker 5: What's the old joke, if you can't convince him, confuse them.
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: Isn't that one of the oldest expressions in politics. If
• 14:01
  Speaker 5: you can't convince them, confuse them. And that's where we
• 14:04
  Speaker 5: are in this battle. And I received this email and
• 14:09
  Speaker 5: Bomb will be back with us in a moment, the
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: host of the Good for America podcast in just a
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: little bit. But you know your thought on this as well,
• 14:17
  Speaker 5: because this is you me. This is free speech. In
• 14:20
  Speaker 5: order for free speech to survive and your ability to speak,
• 14:25
  Speaker 5: go back to Martin Emohler. First they came for the
• 14:27
  Speaker 5: trade unionists, and I didn't say anything because I was
• 14:31
  Speaker 5: not a trade unionist. Think about where we are today.
• 14:35
  Speaker 5: First we came for the liberal late night talk show hosts,
• 14:38
  Speaker 5: and I didn't say anything because I didn't watch the
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: liberal late night talk show hosts. And then they came
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: for the liberal news anchors, and I didn't say anything
• 14:46
  Speaker 5: because I don't watch the liberal news anchors. And then
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: they started coming for the conservative commentators, and I didn't
• 14:53
  Speaker 5: say anything because I listened to podcasts. Then they came
• 14:57
  Speaker 5: for me, and there was nobody left to say anything
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: for me. With apologies to the nimol Er state, I
• 15:03
  Speaker 5: think the point of his poem was you can insert
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: any targeted group there you want. But this email Gene,
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: I think sums it up this discussion of not just
• 15:15
  Speaker 5: the suit in Virginia, where they're saying that the abortionists
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: are using deceptive language in their constitutional amendment, never minding
• 15:25
  Speaker 5: the nuttiness of trying to enshrine abortion as a constitutional amendment.
• 15:31
  Speaker 5: But Jane's point is well taken, he says, Joe, I
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: believe it was Voltaire that said, I disagree with what
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: you say, but I will defend to the death your
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: right to say it. If guns aren't the reason people
• 15:47
  Speaker 5: commit gun crime, then speech is not the reason somebody
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: commits a crime. Either. Just because they hear somebody say
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: something doesn't mean they have to act on it unless
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: there's an overt statement saying hey, listen, I want you
• 16:04
  Speaker 5: to go take care of this. It's a premise that
• 16:07
  Speaker 5: mobsters have always hidden behind there are Rico charges. Are
• 16:11
  Speaker 5: you suggesting that the hosts of the View and Jimmy
• 16:15
  Speaker 5: Kimmel and everyone else who insists on calling President Trump
• 16:19
  Speaker 5: a pedophile rapist should be charged with rico conspiracy to
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: start this guy on his track towards attempted murder of
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: the president. No, I'm and although you raise I have
• 16:35
  Speaker 5: to say, Gene, you raise an interesting question there. Should
• 16:39
  Speaker 5: you apply the Rico statute there? But the guy's letter
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: to his family clearly makes it out, and it is
• 16:49
  Speaker 5: so abundantly clear that this was his choice, that he
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: had decided that he couldn't live in a country where
• 16:56
  Speaker 5: this guy was in charge. He never bothered to look
• 16:59
  Speaker 5: for a their points of view, He never tuned into
• 17:01
  Speaker 5: the show. Do this kme e T reached. I don't
• 17:05
  Speaker 5: think we. I don't think we are heard in Torrance, California.
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: You check the maps at Joe Thomas in the Morning
• 17:12
  Speaker 5: dot com to see if I know we have ka
• 17:14
  Speaker 5: Hi and Sacramento and kme e T in San Bernardino, Redlands.
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: But I don't think this guy could have tuned in
• 17:21
  Speaker 5: unless he was listening online, but programs of our ilk.
• 17:30
  Speaker 5: He could have gone to Daily Signal dot com. He
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: could have tuned into Newsmax online just to see how
• 17:40
  Speaker 5: the other half lived. But he didn't bother to do that.
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: And he has to be held accountable for his actions.
• 17:46
  Speaker 5: You can't go out there and blame a bunch of
• 17:48
  Speaker 5: other people because his last good marble fell out. There
• 17:53
  Speaker 5: are a million places where something went wrong in this
• 17:57
  Speaker 5: guy's bag of marbles. Before you know, somebody said to him, hey,
• 18:05
  Speaker 5: you know, the president's a pedophile rapist. And that was
• 18:09
  Speaker 5: a bridge too far. And it wasn't one time either,
• 18:11
  Speaker 5: It was over and over and over again. But I
• 18:14
  Speaker 5: mentioned this gene before. This is a tube of nitroglycerin.
• 18:21
  Speaker 5: Make quite the bomb out of it. And if you
• 18:25
  Speaker 5: want to go down that world. This is where I
• 18:28
  Speaker 5: agree with Ted Cruz. Senator Cruz yesterday said that the
• 18:36
  Speaker 5: FCC should not be going after the ABC television stations
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: over their licenses. First off, I don't you know this
• 18:44
  Speaker 5: is very COVID lockdown. This is like Joe Biden's FCC.
• 18:48
  Speaker 5: We're going to shut down your broadcast unless you go
• 18:51
  Speaker 5: on the air. I mean even you know we found
• 18:55
  Speaker 5: out now without question that the Biden administration was going
• 19:00
  Speaker 5: after social media platforms. The Department of Justice and the
• 19:05
  Speaker 5: FCC were leaning on content creators and their distribution networks
• 19:12
  Speaker 5: to shut down people who dared say, just say the
• 19:15
  Speaker 5: word Ivermectin and you were in the penalty box for
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: three weeks. Your YouTube channel was shut down, and then
• 19:23
  Speaker 5: the world of algorithm distribution, You're dead. Trust me, it's
• 19:30
  Speaker 5: happened to me. I talked to doctors who were making
• 19:33
  Speaker 5: sick people better. What a better thing to do during
• 19:36
  Speaker 5: a pandemic than saying, hey, we've got a bunch of
• 19:38
  Speaker 5: doctors that are making people better, and it got me
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: banned from YouTube three different times. Kept doing it because
• 19:46
  Speaker 5: I felt like it was an honest brokerage of what
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: was going on in the world. But just because they
• 19:56
  Speaker 5: did it doesn't mean we should be doing We need
• 19:59
  Speaker 5: to be better than that that because our ideas are
• 20:02
  Speaker 5: better and free speech is free speech. You know, this
• 20:06
  Speaker 5: is the same thing McCarthy did. McCarthy was absolutely balls
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: to the wall right when he said the US government
• 20:15
  Speaker 5: was full of communists. What he did wrong was trying
• 20:20
  Speaker 5: to arrest them all and basically turning them into Jimmy
• 20:24
  Speaker 5: Kimmel making them out to be victims of a government
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: that was trying to censor speech just because it didn't
• 20:32
  Speaker 5: like it. What we should have been doing is putting
• 20:34
  Speaker 5: on our big boy pants and spending more time explaining
• 20:38
  Speaker 5: how bad communism was, so that when the kids would
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: hear it coming out of their teachers, they'd say, hold it,
• 20:45
  Speaker 5: that's not right. Because McCarthy was one hundred percent correct.
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: The government was full of communists. TV is full of
• 21:01
  Speaker 5: anti American, anti Israel, anti Semite podcasters, broadcasters, and we
• 21:09
  Speaker 5: have the free speech to call them out on it.
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: And is there some responsibility to what you're saying? Is
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: there the crowded theater analogy? Is the view calling him
• 21:28
  Speaker 5: a rapist pedophile over and over again akin to yelling
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: fire in a crowded theater. Well, in this case, we
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: know there was no fire in the crowded theater. So yeah,
• 21:41
  Speaker 5: at that point, sure you can say you can yell
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: fire in a crowded theater if there isn't one, you
• 21:47
  Speaker 5: should bear some responsibility for it. But the administration itself
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: hasn't been going after these people for saying it, and
• 21:56
  Speaker 5: that's where the responsibility lies. Gene, thank you, for the email.

• 24:31
  Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
• 28:22
  Speaker 5: He was to the Good for America podcast back with us,
• 28:27
  Speaker 5: and I appreciate your visit, Bob, and uh and you know,
• 28:31
  Speaker 5: I want to find out in a little bit what's
• 28:32
  Speaker 5: coming up on the Good for America podcast. But so
• 28:35
  Speaker 5: much going on, uh tangential to the things that you
• 28:39
  Speaker 5: have great experience with. Let's start with the redistrict thing.
• 28:43
  Speaker 5: Let you know, so the Supreme Court says that you know,
• 28:46
  Speaker 5: having a constitutional amendment saying you have to have districts
• 28:50
  Speaker 5: that are majority minority is unconstitutional and that has started this.
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: You know, it's like a land rush to try to
• 28:59
  Speaker 5: your redistrict. Now they're talking about Tennessee. Marshall Blackburn is
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: saying we should read district right now. You know, all
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: of this, I think this blows up in Republicans' faces
• 29:11
  Speaker 5: because this is handing the Democrats an opportunity to say, see,
• 29:15
  Speaker 5: we told you they wanted to eliminate Black's ability to
• 29:20
  Speaker 5: have a vote. You know, what would you do? As
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: somebody who has run for office, if this had happened
• 29:26
  Speaker 5: on your watch, I think we're too far.
• 29:29
  Speaker 6: Down the road to pull back now. I think Republicans
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: need to do what Ron DeSantis is doing in Florida again,
• 29:34
  Speaker 6: the nation's best gouverned, the nation's best conservative leader, continues
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: to lead with what's happening in Florida. He shows courage
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: and principle, and he shows a willingness to fight. And
• 29:45
  Speaker 6: so Florida's trying to go from twenty Republicans to twenty four.
• 29:48
  Speaker 6: To reduce Democrats from eight down to four. You have
• 29:51
  Speaker 6: to fight fire with fire. You cannot unilaterally disarmed Democrats
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: have been doing this for decades, using the Voting Rights
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: Act in a way it was never intended. You know
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: that they're fighting supposed a fear of discrimination by discriminating.
• 30:04
  Speaker 6: They're fighting disparate treatment based on race, by treating people
• 30:07
  Speaker 6: differently based on race. And thank god for the Supreme
• 30:09
  Speaker 6: Court that said you can't do that, you cannot do that,
• 30:13
  Speaker 6: that it's wrong. There's there's very limited, very rare ability
• 30:18
  Speaker 6: to to to act based on race. And and thank
• 30:22
  Speaker 6: god for the leaders on the Supreme Court of Alito
• 30:26
  Speaker 6: and Thomas leading the way on this, But so I
• 30:30
  Speaker 6: think unfortunately Republicans have to respond, have to do it
• 30:34
  Speaker 6: where they're able to do it, because that is unfortunately
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: where we are today as a country, as a as
• 30:39
  Speaker 6: a political body, as a as an electoral situation, if
• 30:44
  Speaker 6: you will. Ideally, again, districts would be drawn based on geography,
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: based on proximity of voters, keeping communities of interests and
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: counties as it makes sense, and and they be compact,
• 30:56
  Speaker 6: and the legislator would would live close to where his
• 31:00
  Speaker 6: his or her constituents are. That's best for everyone. But
• 31:03
  Speaker 6: that is not what's happening in New England, where there's
• 31:05
  Speaker 6: not one Republican in the six states that make up
• 31:08
  Speaker 6: New England, even though you got about forty five percent
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: Republicans in those states. There's very few Republicans obviously in Illinois,
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: or in New Jersey, or in New York, or in
• 31:17
  Speaker 6: California where New Mexico.
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: Con zero is what you're pointing out to. And this
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: is why I bring up and my listeners roll their
• 31:24
  Speaker 5: eyes every time I bring up the Permanent Reapportionment Act
• 31:28
  Speaker 5: of nineteen twenty nine, which was developed by the racists
• 31:32
  Speaker 5: in the House and Senate to limit the scope of
• 31:36
  Speaker 5: prosperous black communities which were growing in the early twentieth century.
• 31:41
  Speaker 5: And they said, well, if we stop letting Congress get bigger,
• 31:44
  Speaker 5: then they won't have any voice. And it set us
• 31:46
  Speaker 5: on this course. And I think if you went back
• 31:49
  Speaker 5: to even districts of the size then two hundred thousand
• 31:52
  Speaker 5: per you represented a district that was almost eight hundred thousand,
• 31:57
  Speaker 5: you get minority majority district. Whether you have to make
• 32:01
  Speaker 5: it a rule or not. The President yesterday signed the
• 32:06
  Speaker 5: DHS reauthorization bill that finally got dragged through the House
• 32:12
  Speaker 5: and Senate. What was your view on that before we
• 32:14
  Speaker 5: have to let you go.
• 32:16
  Speaker 6: Well, just quickly, I thought the Republicans just failed. When
• 32:20
  Speaker 6: they have the trifecta, you've got the House, to Senate
• 32:22
  Speaker 6: and the presidency. They should have never last fall, let
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: Democrats split out the one appropriation bill from the other
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: eleven the Department Homeland Security, which as you know, funds FEMA,
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: it funds TSA, it funds Secret Service, it funds the Coastguard,
• 32:37
  Speaker 6: along with Ice and Border Patrol. They should have never
• 32:40
  Speaker 6: allowed that to happen, and then they should have never
• 32:42
  Speaker 6: allowed DHS to be funded without ice and border patrol.
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: They yielded to the Democrats, and sort of you talked
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: about kind of narrative and framing and vocabulary that you used.
• 32:53
  Speaker 6: They allowed, to some degree, Democrats to be successful on
• 32:57
  Speaker 6: saying ice and border patrol were ill legitimate. We don't
• 33:00
  Speaker 6: want to fund those parts. They need to be reformed
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: and so forth.
• 33:03
  Speaker 23: And so I.
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: Regret that Republicans allowed that to happen. Now you've got
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: it funded again for three years without ice or border patrol,
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: and then suppose Republicans are going to pass reconciliation to
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: fund them directly. I hope that that certainly happens. But
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: I think Republicans lost this battle unfortunately.
• 33:20
  Speaker 5: Well and not to pander to the six different stations
• 33:24
  Speaker 5: in Florida that carry this show. I think you're right
• 33:26
  Speaker 5: about Ron DeSantis being the kind of Republican that has well.
• 33:30
  Speaker 5: You like to use the phrase in testical fortitude to say,
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: you know you've got to grapple. You know, you're collegiate wrestler.
• 33:39
  Speaker 5: You understand that. You know if you don't, if you
• 33:41
  Speaker 5: don't grab on and push, you're not going to win
• 33:44
  Speaker 5: the wrestling match. And we have to do that. Bob,
• 33:48
  Speaker 5: what's coming up on the Good for America podcast this week, We're.
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: Going to have a We're going to have an episode
• 33:53
  Speaker 6: on vexit. Vexit Western Virginia, the effort by some to
• 33:58
  Speaker 6: try to make West Virginia Western Virginia part of West Virginia.
• 34:01
  Speaker 6: So we're going to have special guest Rick Boyer to
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: talk about that along with dealing with some of these
• 34:06
  Speaker 6: national issues that we just discussed this morning.
• 34:08
  Speaker 5: Well, you have a great weekend, sir. Say hi to
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: Rick for me, and you know our friends. I have
• 34:14
  Speaker 5: a couple of friends in the West Virginia General Assembly
• 34:17
  Speaker 5: and they keep referring to it as best Virginia now,
• 34:19
  Speaker 5: so I want then I don't like that anymore either.
• 34:22
  Speaker 5: But you have a great weekend, sir.
• 34:24
  Speaker 6: Here as well, Joe, thank you, my friend.
• 34:26
  Speaker 5: Four three four eighty eight two four two one seven
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: is how you hook in and make your points. Me
• 34:34
  Speaker 5: look at the reaction Mark Warner. It took time out
• 34:38
  Speaker 5: from his reelection campaign to make a point about make
• 34:42
  Speaker 5: DC square again. If you look at Arlington, Virginia, it's
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: it's an oddly shaped little burg because it was the
• 34:51
  Speaker 5: what do they call it, the redistricted or there was
• 34:56
  Speaker 5: a phrase. It was a strange turn of a phrase
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: that was used when it was given back to Virginia.
• 35:04
  Speaker 5: The District of Columbia is a city that was made
• 35:08
  Speaker 5: out of gifts from both Maryland and Virginia, and then
• 35:12
  Speaker 5: Maryland sort of allowed all the government stuff to be
• 35:15
  Speaker 5: built on its side, and Virginia was like, what are
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: we going to? What are we doing here? And they
• 35:20
  Speaker 5: so they was a recision where they gave that part back.
• 35:26
  Speaker 5: But if you made that part of DC, I think
• 35:31
  Speaker 5: Virginia becomes a whole lot redder of a state. But
• 35:34
  Speaker 5: that being said is the idea of the Permanent Reapportionment
• 35:42
  Speaker 5: Act freezing the size of Congressional representation in nineteen thirty,
• 35:47
  Speaker 5: coming up on one hundred years ago. Population of the
• 35:50
  Speaker 5: United States has tripled since then, and within that you
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: created sort of this permanent class of this in in
• 36:00
  Speaker 5: political class, because as your community grew, you were just
• 36:05
  Speaker 5: kind of folded into somebody who's already pre existing condition
• 36:08
  Speaker 5: of a zone. And this allowed the members of Congress
• 36:16
  Speaker 5: to create this power base that in the first foremost
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: kept Republicans from having a majority in Congress for fifty
• 36:28
  Speaker 5: years nineteen forty four to nineteen ninety four, there was
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: not a Republican Speaker of the House in fifty years,
• 36:41
  Speaker 5: and it was because of the way they gerrymandered the
• 36:44
  Speaker 5: country that a mindset. If you embrace conservatism the way
• 36:51
  Speaker 5: the Santis does in Florida, in most cases, three quarters
• 36:59
  Speaker 5: of the population at minimum are conservative. Yet because they
• 37:05
  Speaker 5: seem to be given no other choice, they were voting
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: Democrat and have voted Democrat, or just don't vote at all.
• 37:12
  Speaker 5: And this goes back to why these people, these democracy junkies,
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: want voter turnout to be low, because it's easier to
• 37:21
  Speaker 5: convince fifty percent of fifty percent to go along with
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: your scheme than it is to convince fifty percent of
• 37:30
  Speaker 5: one hundred percent. So if we can get half the
• 37:33
  Speaker 5: population to not care, not believe, not get fired up,
• 37:38
  Speaker 5: or just straight up be afraid of being seen voting
• 37:43
  Speaker 5: or supporting the other side, the red ball caps, if
• 37:47
  Speaker 5: you will, you win because you've you've done this backdoor
• 37:52
  Speaker 5: vote suppression by pushing down the interest in even showing
• 37:57
  Speaker 5: up at a polling place to vote.
• 38:02

  Speaker 5: going to happen today and the politicians that do it
• 45:00
  Speaker 5: or admit to doing it, or hoping that you don't
• 45:04

  Speaker 5: to amaze me. What will trigger people? Tom writes in
• 45:28
  Speaker 5: I'm in New York to beat the Mets, just like
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: everyone else. Come on, Joe, I thought you said you
• 45:33
  Speaker 5: grew up in New York City. Weren't you a Mets fan?
• 45:35
  Speaker 5: Or you one of those Yankee front runners? Well, first off,
• 45:39
  Speaker 5: living in Virginia, the phrase Yankee front runner has been
• 45:43
  Speaker 5: fixed to me plenty of times there. Although then when
• 45:48
  Speaker 5: we went on the air in Dalton, Georgia, we were
• 45:50
  Speaker 5: told that even Virginians are considered Yankees in Georgia. But
• 45:55
  Speaker 5: moreover the yeah I grew up a Met fan. I
• 45:57
  Speaker 5: actually my first paycheck came from the concessionaires at Shay Stadium,
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: or the Mets Blade and the Jets Blade. But I
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: root where I live. I picked the sports teams in
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: the area for which I am living. So when to
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: see the first one of the first series at Mile
• 46:17
  Speaker 5: High Stadium of the Colorado Rockies. My wife lived in
• 46:20
  Speaker 5: Boulder for a long time, so I mean we get around.
• 46:23
  Speaker 5: I mean I pick the teams based on where I live,
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: and the Mets, if I may, are exemplar of these
• 46:30
  Speaker 5: redistricting democrats trying to buy a championship. They keep buying players, buying,
• 46:37
  Speaker 5: bringing in big names, signing big free agents, and that's
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: never worked for the Mets especially, and it rarely even
• 46:44
  Speaker 5: works for those Yankees, you know, keep buying these big
• 46:50
  Speaker 5: players and finishing either in last place or middling or
• 46:55
  Speaker 5: scrapping to make the playoffs against teams that spend you know,
• 46:58
  Speaker 5: ten cents on the dollar.
• 47:00
  Speaker 25: To you.
• 47:00
  Speaker 5: They're very much like the redistricting democrats who are just
• 47:04
  Speaker 5: trying to rig an election so they can win it.
• 47:07
  Speaker 5: And by the way, I'm the subject of hikeem Jeffries
• 47:09
  Speaker 5: and all the redistricting. If you were so cock sure
• 47:13
  Speaker 5: that you were again medical application, if you were so
• 47:17
  Speaker 5: sure in your barnyard that you were going to win
• 47:21
  Speaker 5: a majority in the redistrict in the mid term elections,
• 47:24
  Speaker 5: why all this push for the redistricting. Why not just
• 47:28
  Speaker 5: take the win that you're expected to get in the
• 47:32
  Speaker 5: midterm elections of a new presidency. Huh, That's always a
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: question that itches inside of my ukranium. Good morning, You're
• 47:39
  Speaker 5: on the air with Joe. First thing, this morning. Who's this.
• 47:43
  Speaker 23: Good morning?
• 47:44
  Speaker 5: Joe's Kareem, Hey, Kareem. How are you doing this Friday morning?
• 47:47
  Speaker 15: So far, so good.
• 47:48
  Speaker 23: I'm sitting in New Jersey watching the trees blow with
• 47:51
  Speaker 23: the wind. By the way, you wanted to wish a
• 47:54
  Speaker 23: happy anniversary to you and your better half. I think
• 47:56
  Speaker 23: maybe nearby, if I'm not mistaken.
• 47:58
  Speaker 5: Oh yeah, she drove me here. I mean she's It's
• 48:01
  Speaker 5: not like that. It's not, oh, my driver draw me off.
• 48:05
  Speaker 20: You know.
• 48:05
  Speaker 5: She just likes driving more than she likes being a
• 48:08
  Speaker 5: passenger in a car that I'm driving, so she usually
• 48:11
  Speaker 5: drives us up here for it. Well, I appreciate that.
• 48:15
  Speaker 5: Thank you. Thirty three years, I must be doing something right,
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: or at least avoiding doing something grievously wrong. So what's
• 48:22
  Speaker 5: on your mind? Is you watch the actual trees that
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: are in New Jersey. To some people's surprise, blow, Well
• 48:29
  Speaker 5: those three years.
• 48:30
  Speaker 23: I'd say she's got a lot of patience, but I
• 48:33
  Speaker 23: currently I'm just too I know you're limited on time
• 48:39
  Speaker 23: to the rest of your show, so I'll try to
• 48:40
  Speaker 23: keep it brief and I'll jump off and listen to
• 48:42
  Speaker 23: what you have to say. As far as redistricting, goes
• 48:46
  Speaker 23: and you know, the blacks. I'll tell you what, it's
• 48:50
  Speaker 23: something else. I'm going to enjoy listening to what the
• 48:53
  Speaker 23: Democrats have to say because I say the blacks, because
• 48:58
  Speaker 23: that's I'm going to enjoy listening to the comments about
• 49:02
  Speaker 23: how they're going to uh, they're monolithic voters. Oh, but
• 49:07
  Speaker 23: they're the second largest majority in the US, the sorry,
• 49:11
  Speaker 23: second largest, second largest minority, the largest majority of the
• 49:15
  Speaker 23: majority of the minority of the Hispanics. And I'm going
• 49:20
  Speaker 23: to enjoy listening to all these Democrats when there's going
• 49:23
  Speaker 23: through the talking points left to right talk about how, oh,
• 49:26
  Speaker 23: all the blacks are just to like we got to
• 49:28
  Speaker 23: you gotta get this like that, and it's just and
• 49:31
  Speaker 23: the people that are paid to be there and shake
• 49:33
  Speaker 23: there go ahead.
• 49:34
  Speaker 6: Please.
• 49:34
  Speaker 5: Well, no, I want to ask, because the question was,
• 49:36
  Speaker 5: are there Republicans gutsy enough to push back against the
• 49:40
  Speaker 5: idea that the Supreme Court is bringing back Jim Crow.
• 49:44
  Speaker 5: I guess in this point it w'd be three point zero.
• 49:48
  Speaker 23: Honestly, the Republicans are not guts enough to do anything.
• 49:51
  Speaker 23: They spend one hundred million dollars in Texas to make
• 49:53
  Speaker 23: sure that Ken Pexton gets defeated by Corny. I'm not
• 49:58
  Speaker 23: even going to John Corny. I don't want to describe them.
• 50:02
  Speaker 23: Bless his heart. He's got some issues. But they spent
• 50:06
  Speaker 23: hunder me in there. They neglected everywhere else. The grassroots.
• 50:11
  Speaker 23: Those are the people who are actually a populist. I
• 50:14
  Speaker 23: call Trump a popular risk because he.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: Likes what's popular.
• 50:17
  Speaker 23: He's a marketer, that's what he does. But Republicans can't
• 50:20
  Speaker 23: get their act together. They want to be in charge,
• 50:22
  Speaker 23: they want to be in power, but the people they
• 50:24
  Speaker 23: claim to be supporting are the people they're ignoring but
• 50:27
  Speaker 23: setting out aside. The polling numbers look bad, even with
• 50:32
  Speaker 23: the redistricting. The polling numbers look bad because the independents
• 50:36
  Speaker 23: are the ones who have left both parties and saying
• 50:39
  Speaker 23: I've had enough of this. So as far as what's
• 50:42
  Speaker 23: going on, what's all this movement in the Supreme Court,
• 50:46
  Speaker 23: that's not the Republican Party. That's the spearheaded fire speakers
• 50:52
  Speaker 23: who are in the White House, who are actually.
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: Doing the jobs.
• 50:55
  Speaker 23: You look at the people who brought the fire, brought
• 50:57
  Speaker 23: the fight. Anarchist briefs were joined Slitter General his office
• 51:04
  Speaker 23: is the one who granted I am not integrating the
• 51:08
  Speaker 23: people who actually brought the actual suit. But when the
• 51:11
  Speaker 23: blisters general office joins in, and when they're poll and
• 51:15
  Speaker 23: was it Jones day? Is that where the guy's from
• 51:17
  Speaker 23: who hash them? Is that the guy's name who argued
• 51:20
  Speaker 23: before it spring? Oh yeah, start, you gotta go, Joe,
• 51:23
  Speaker 23: have a great time again, Richfield. A lot of stuff
• 51:26
  Speaker 23: to pull from.
• 51:27
  Speaker 5: Oh wow, Joe, Well, that's why they give us four
• 51:30
