  Speaker 1: Local and corporate controlled. Is still corporate controlled. This is
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: independence from Virginia again. First Thing Today by Joe Thomas
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: on the Tunk Media Network.
• 0:13
  Speaker 2: To words at steal me stemn have a day at
• 0:18
  Speaker 2: least for work when the sun comes up, drops a
• 0:21
  Speaker 2: kid to Scoolney. Joe has everything, agenda, all the treasures,
• 0:27
  Speaker 2: set needs.
• 0:29
  Speaker 3: No one that Joe's a smile, He only is pes Joe,
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:38
  Speaker 3: this morning.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: I want to be Joe.
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: Your first time around the block? Four three, four eight
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: eight two four to seven is our number.
• 0:48
  Speaker 5: Not a problem.
• 0:50
  Speaker 2: There's all those drunk stores right every three or four blocks.
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: It's a big sign. Drugs open all night.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: Drug we delivered dru sell your son drugs. New York
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: Times columnists suggests that JD Vance's mother would have been
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: better off if she had sold little JD for drugs.
• 1:13
  Speaker 3: And that's the way your day begins today. That's a
• 1:17
  Speaker 3: New York Times columnist saying that Jammel Bowie, of course
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: is the columnist. This shouldn't surprise you if you're a
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: sports fan. Jamel Bowie has decided that the plank that
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: she would build her internet fame on is instead of
• 1:36
  Speaker 3: trying to work on our social divides, profiting from it,
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: to be fair, not an unusual tactic. Many many Caucasians
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: and African Americans alike, would rather exacerbate a problem for
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: profit rather than fix it. She criticized Vance for a
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: recent interview with Britain's Daily Mail where he declined to
• 2:00
  Speaker 3: apologize to Minnesota shooting victim Alex Pretti's family after accusing
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: him of showing up with ill intent, accusing him the
• 2:10
  Speaker 3: video is shown quite clearly that he showed up in
• 2:15
  Speaker 3: Minneapolis with ill intent. But you know, Jamel Bowie has
• 2:19
  Speaker 3: to get the clickthroughs. It's probably been weeks and weeks
• 2:22
  Speaker 3: since anyone in New York City has even heard her
• 2:25
  Speaker 3: name as a columnist for the New York Times, and
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: as I understand, at a freelance one, so she only
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: gets paid when they pick and publish something she wrote.
• 2:36
  Speaker 3: But she wrote, this wicked man who knows he's being
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: wicked and does it anyway like what you see? Like
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: do you see that smirk? That briefs ain't a stinker
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: beneath contempt? I can't imagine a parent wouldn't sell Little
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: JD for percoset if they knew he would turn out
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: like this, Bowie's screed continued. Yes, and that's how your
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: Friday morning will begin. We tell you what went on
• 3:09
  Speaker 3: last night. We'll even tell you what our viewpoint is
• 3:13
  Speaker 3: on it, and then we ask you to tell us
• 3:15
  Speaker 3: how it's impacting you where you are, because I can
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: only be in so many places despite the wonders of
• 3:21
  Speaker 3: amplitude and frequency modulation. Goodness. You can also email us
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: at JT in the Morning radio, gmail dot com. So
• 3:30
  Speaker 3: much going on this morning, so we sally forth into
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: our I'm sorry, I don't know what that ghost audio was.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: You may not have heard it. It may have just
• 3:42
  Speaker 3: been in my head. Keep the paddles nearby, all right,
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: So our first things this morning. On the international scale,
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: a report says that Iran is spoiling for a fight
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: with the United States and actually has put together a
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: military strategy to bring down the United States. The UK
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: Telegraph reports that a plan published by Tasnim, a news
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: agency affiliated with the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps in Iran,
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: outlines a multi stage conflict designed to offset America's military
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: superiority with asymmetric warfare. Meanwhile, traditional nuclear superiority between the
• 4:25
  Speaker 3: Russians and the United States has expired. The Start treaty
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: ended at midnight last night, but President Trump took the
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: truth social to write, rather than extend New Start, a
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: badly negotiated deal by the United States, aside from everything else,
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: is grossly violated. He writes in parentheses, we should have
• 4:46
  Speaker 3: our nuclear experts work on a new, improved, and modernized
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: treaty that can last long into the future. Argentina and
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: the United States agreed Thursday to ease restrictions on each
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: other's goods, trade and in investment, deal that Javier Malai's
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: government says will open up Argentina's protectionist economy and push
• 5:07
  Speaker 3: the Trump administration to reduce food prices for Americans. The
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: administration is also rescinding more than one point five billion
• 5:16
  Speaker 3: dollars in grant money from a handful of Democratic run
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: states on the grounds that there is waste and mismanagement
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: of taxpayer money. Tens of thousands of New York City
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: residents have been going for days and days on end
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: in January without any heat or hot water, as the
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: new Mamdani administration tries to grapple with public housing in
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: the city. Canada and France have opened consulates in Greenland
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: to show support for the local and not local government,
• 5:54
  Speaker 3: and the World Economic Forum is launched an independent investigation
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: into its CEO for his relationships as disclosed with financier
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: Jeffrey Epstein and Pedophile. And those are our first things
• 6:10

  Speaker 6: joining metashare can save you or your family up to

  Speaker 8: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
• 8:12
  Speaker 8: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 10: Hi, everybody, I'm Jackhannah. It's always a boy growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15

  Speaker 10: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: perform life saving work every day.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.

  Speaker 10: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: in need. So please join me an American Humane and

• 13:14
  Speaker 3: On your to do list.
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: Putting the radio on is the first thing today.
• 13:29
  Speaker 18: Let me.
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: Be You have to be fired up because if you're
• 13:38
  Speaker 3: not You're fired on. That's how I roll anyway, And
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: there are so many good things. And I know that
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: as the news rolls out of your radio it can
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: be dispiriting. You can sit there and say, man, how
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: do you how do you do it? How do you
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: get out of bed? Do you want to do the
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: Charlie Brown thing after the spelling bee and pull the
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: curtains and get onto the counter and just hide. I
• 14:04
  Speaker 3: get it, I sense it. It's like the fuse the
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: Midichlorians are telling me. But you have to remember a
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: couple of key points. And this is an abstract This
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: isn't a specific news story. We'll get into those in
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: a moment, But in the abstract. Number one, the idea
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: of people living free, free from authoritarians telling them what
• 14:32
  Speaker 3: to do, is way older than the United States. The
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: cycles that humanity goes through from tyranny through revolution to
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: liberty to prosperity to apathy to anarchy back to tyranny,
• 14:55
  Speaker 3: have cycled through human society several times in the millennia.
• 15:02
  Speaker 3: So as much as we like to pat ourselves on
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: the back for our ingenuity and our creativity, we're not
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: new in this party. A lot of this stuff has
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: happened before, and we hope, given our technological advances, we
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: can maybe just maybe forest all it from happening again.
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: That's what we get up every morning to do. If
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: there is a programming philosophy behind, what we can do
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: is not this time. That's our slogan. First thing today
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: by Joe Thomas. Not this time they try, and that's
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: the thing they're always going to try. You know why,
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: because the devil himself took Jesus Christ himself into the
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: desert to try to win him over, said, look at
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: all what I can give you, So why are you special?
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Why would you be unique? He's coming for you too.
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: If he thinks he can get Jesus age Christ to change,
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: to turn on his dad and to turn on all
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: of us. You don't think he's going to take a
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: crack at you anyway. Let me put the theological discussions aside.
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: Less than some of my friends like John Quiesenberry from
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: the City Elders call me up and say, Joe, put
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: down the theology before you hurt yourself. Leave that to
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: the trade professionals. But yeah, as somebody who lives in
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: a church and was raised in a Church, based on
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the beliefs of Martin Luther that you print it so
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: we can all read it, and we should be able
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: to read the words in the Bible ourselves. Why not?
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: So we circle back to a couple of things going on.
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: Redistricting is going to be big today because Virginia, our
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: flagship state, has finally released it's magic mist remaps that
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: will create ten Democrat districts to only one Republican district.
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: So ridiculous that just in my hometown, the cities are
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: in one congressional district and the county is in another.
• 17:18
  Speaker 3: They've drawn this map. It almost looks like one of
• 17:22
  Speaker 3: those etches sketch drawings where you just kind of have
• 17:25
  Speaker 3: these weird little you know, where the where the little
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: magnet has twitched because your finger spasmed, and it just
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: goes around the cities, so that the cities are all
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: part of one congressional district and the rural county is
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: in another. We'll get into that and the peril that
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: I detailed in the video column that I posted at
• 17:46
  Speaker 3: Daily Signal dot com that you can go back and view.
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: We're going to do a new one now that they're
• 17:54
  Speaker 3: new map. Meanwhile, in Florida. Ron de Santis and his
• 17:58
  Speaker 3: proposed April special session of Florida's General Assembly is being
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: challenged by Eric Holder and his crowd, saying he has
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: no right to call a session of the General Assembly
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: as a violation of the separation of powers. It's an
• 18:15
  Speaker 3: interpretation of it claiming that only the General Assembly can
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: call on the General Assembly to come back to address
• 18:24
  Speaker 3: emergency matters to be dealt with by the General Assembly.
• 18:32
  Speaker 3: So it goes back to not who votes, but who
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: counts the votes. And as the redistricting mania ramps up,
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: here's a couple of things to note. So Ron DeSantis'
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: April special session of the Florida General Assembly, Virginia will
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: have to have a vote if the court cases do
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: not stand up. And we had Ken Couchinelli on this program,
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: former Attorney General who said, Nope, probably not going to
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: withstand scrutiny. They've been fast tracked right to the Virginia
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: Supreme Court, so they will get a hearing hopefully very soon.
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: But they're planning on a vote in April as well
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: to start the process. Because here's the thing. If these
• 19:23
  Speaker 3: new districts'd be Texas and California have already down the road,
• 19:29
  Speaker 3: or Virginia and Florida, New York still, you know, kicking
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: it around Illinois, these places, they need to be in
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: place by at very least Memorial Day so that people
• 19:45
  Speaker 3: can start planning out who's the election precinct chairs? Who
• 19:50
  Speaker 3: are there? I mean all the way from the precinct
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: captains up through political party chairs. Who are the candidates?
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: And here's the interesting thing. And if you want to
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: talk about reading tea leaves as it regards redistricting, many
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: Virginia Democrats are campaigning as if the districts aren't going
• 20:13
  Speaker 3: to change, that they are what they are and they're
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: not going to get changed. That tells me something. And
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: these are not newbies. These are people like Tom Periello,
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: who's deciding voice and vote brought Obamacare to us and
• 20:30
  Speaker 3: what a gift that's been. Son of a doctor too.
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: But Tom Periello, who is one of Barack Obama's favorite
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: congress people, is back to run for the seat he
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: represented back in two thousand and eight and two thousand
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: and nine. But it might not be his seat. He
• 20:49
  Speaker 3: might be up if this map takes place. If this
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: map goes in, then he's going to be up against
• 20:56
  Speaker 3: some New York Times bestselling author. No, not JD. Vans,
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: who has got tons of money, perhaps even more than
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: he does, which is an amazing thing. Since Tom Periella
• 21:11
  Speaker 3: was the adopted step son of George Soros, ran the
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: Soros Organization for Old Georgie until Alex was old enough
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: to take the throne. I think right after Alex's bar mitzvah,
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: was it bot mitzvah? I mean, I guess you can
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: have whatever you like. If you decide I want to
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: identify as a girl, then you can have a bot mitzvah.
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: I imagine the Rabbi might have something to say, but
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: it depends on how woke the temple is that you
• 21:37

• 21:48
  Speaker 3: is going after Ron Desantas saying the decision to have
• 21:52

• 21:57
  Speaker 3: we'll get into that coming up.

• 22:13
  Speaker 18: that one hundred and fifty minutes does not need to

• 28:34
  Speaker 3: Very Funny. You're gonna use Stephen Colbert against me? Thank
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: you for joining us on this Friday morning. And that's
• 28:51
  Speaker 3: actually from last night's Stephen Colbert Show. Isn't he done yet? Hey, gosh,
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: he's hang around longer than Gerald Nadler is. I thought
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: he was finished. I was told, good thing, I haven't
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: put CBS on, and gosh, I can't even recall how long.
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: So we were talking about redistricting, because at the end
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: of it, all of this is going to come down
• 29:20
  Speaker 3: to do the majority of Americans show up and vote
• 29:26
  Speaker 3: and reclaim the country that seventy five to almost eighty
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: percent of us all agree on. But because half of
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: us don't show up, we don't have an honest accounting.
• 29:39
  Speaker 3: And we'll get into the dishonest accounting in Virginia. But
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: was focus in on Florida for a little bit here.
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: So Eric Holder and his redistricting National Redistricting pack Say
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: and the suit filed against Governor DeSantis, the attempt to
• 30:02
  Speaker 3: have a special General Assembly session to vote on things
• 30:06
  Speaker 3: that would impact the constituents of the General Assembly just
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: saying violates the Florida Constitution's separation of powers doctrine.
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: So the.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: The abstract of it, the division in its intent, this
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: is by analysts, probably in you know, at the University
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: of Florida. So you know, right after the kegger was done,
• 30:39
  Speaker 3: they came in and said, oh, oh, we gotta have
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: to report it. Oh, give me coffee. I'm sorry, I'm
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: picking on our friends in Gainesville. I don't mean to
• 30:51
  Speaker 3: pick on the folks in Gainesville that way. That's not fair.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: That's that's like Eric Holder says, when they go lo
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: we kick him. But whether you're in Saint Augustine or Daytona,
• 31:05
  Speaker 3: or on the Treasure Coast this morning, Tampa, wherever you're
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: listening to us in Largo, the separation of power's doctrine
• 31:14
  Speaker 3: that most news reporters will just look into the camera
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: earnestly and say the separation of Power's doctrine says the
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: governor can't do it, without any details on why it
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: says the governor can't do it. So the division in
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: its abstract is intended to prevent any one branch from
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: gaining more power than the other. The legislative branch is
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: responsible for making laws. Executive branch executes those laws, and
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: the judicial branch interprets the laws to ensure they are
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: constitutional and applied fairly, and like with most court systems,
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: that decision can only come after a court filing. It
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: doesn't say that the governor can't call for a special session.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, it specifically says the governor,
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: if in emergency exigen situations, can call for a special
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: session to deal with something that will impact those citizens.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: But it's a convenient suit. The same group is here
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: in our flagship state of Virginia, countersuing the so far
• 32:40
  Speaker 3: successful attempt to derail Virginia's constitutional amendment overthrow, and each
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: each one of these states see this is one of
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: the trouble troubles with following from where you said the
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: redistricting issues, because each state has a different process, and
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty, Virginia began the process of making the
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: electoral process of choosing congressional and state district maps a
• 33:13
  Speaker 3: matter for a special nonpartisan which didn't turn out to
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: be true, but a bipartisanly chosen commission to work out
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: the maps, none of whom can be a member of
• 33:26
  Speaker 3: the elected body. The problem was they were all appointed
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: by the elected body. But they thought enough to write
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: into this constitutional amendment a safety valve, a a in
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: case of emergency break glass kind of thing you can't
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: see that, can you.
• 33:47
  Speaker 9: I have a.
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: I have a pair of things that usually see hanging
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: off a back of truck, you know, to hook inside glass.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: In case I ever run out, I can have a
• 33:59
  Speaker 3: spare set up there. That's where I keep the extra
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: intestical fortitude in case of emergency break glass. But in
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: Virginia's case, they knew that there was a pretty good
• 34:10
  Speaker 3: chance the nonpartisan Redistricting Commission would fail because they were
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: going to be appointed by partisans, and it did so.
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: In case of emergency break glass provision came about, which
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: was that the Virginia Supreme Court appointed two special masters,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: one of a Democratic persuasion, one of a Republican persuasion,
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: and they would draw the maps. And in twenty twenty one,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: a Virginia Republican and a California Democrat, because apparently we
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: couldn't find any nonpartisan Virginia Democrats drew our districts. But
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: they are The process now is enshrined in our constitution
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: which means in in order to change it, you can't
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: just wait for Eric Holder to give you a bag
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: full of money like Speaker Scott did in Virginia's General
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: Assembly and change the maps like they want to in
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: so many states still working on this, trying to read
• 35:21
  Speaker 3: Jerry Mander all these states to this state's going to
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: give Republicans an advantage, and then this state is going
• 35:28
  Speaker 3: to give the Democrats the advantage, and it's going to
• 35:32
  Speaker 3: come out in the wash. I hate to tell you this,
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: It's going to wind up a zero sum game. There's
• 35:37
  Speaker 3: a bigger chance that the Republicans wrest defeat from the
• 35:40
  Speaker 3: jobs of victory by screwing up over the next six
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: months more than the redistricts. Redistricting is going to change
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: the makeup of the US House and Senate. But in
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: Virginia's case, because there's a constitutional amendment, there's a high
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: are that you're supposed to be that you're supposed to
• 36:03
  Speaker 3: have to meet before you can change it, and that
• 36:07
  Speaker 3: involves Virginia actually voting on it. So there's the challenge
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: to it because there are also laws in Virginia requiring
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: how long the public is supposed to be made aware
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: of potential changes to the Constitution, and they can't possibly
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: live up to those requirements because of the compressed timeline.
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: Now in Florida, it's a little bit more straightforward. The
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: General Assembly can vote to redraw the districts. But here's
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: the pressure in Florida. If ron DeSantis' special session doesn't
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: happen in April, and I mean early April, and they
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: can't come up with something. Even in Virginia, the Democrats
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: were supposed to announce what their map looked like ten
• 36:57
  Speaker 3: days ago, five days ago. That by February first, we
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: were supposed to know what these maps look like. So
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: they're five days late already. If Florida is five days late,
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: now you're into May and the General Assembly will have
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: to meet and debate and all the other things that
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: go on in it, and so then you're into June.
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: It's starting to become too late to even organize Florida's
• 37:23
  Speaker 3: political parties into these districts. And I'm trying to be
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: fair to both Democrats and Republicans. You got to know
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: by June who you're voting for. If you want more
• 37:37
  Speaker 3: than forty percent or thirty percent of the most ardent
• 37:40
  Speaker 3: activists turning out, and therein lies the bigger question in
• 37:44
  Speaker 3: this redistricting scam is I think people are trying to
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: make it vote suppression, which is funny because people like
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: Eric Holder talk about vote suppression all the time while
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: they're conducting what I believe is vote suppression.

  Speaker 11: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 11: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.

  Speaker 11: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 11: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 11: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 41:24
  Speaker 11: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 11: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 11: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop it,

  Speaker 3: From the home of the First Amendment.
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: First thing today.
• 44:27
  Speaker 3: So email comes in during the last segment and I
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: didn't get a chance to see it at JT in
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: the Morning radio at gmail dot com and ask the
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: question about the cycles, and there's several and some of
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: them are apocryphally based. There are people, especially on the left,
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: that like to challenge whether the Titler cycle is actually
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: real or just made up. Fancies of talk radio show hosts,
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: because we we would never do such things right, So
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: the cycles, Terry writes into JT in the Morning Radio
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: gmail dot com. What makes you think our generation is
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: going to be the one that can survive this inevitable cycle?
• 45:19
  Speaker 3: Wouldn't it be better to suggest ways to ride it
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: out and hide all the things you'll need for the
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: next cycle. Well, there is, there is a belief structure, Terry,
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: and I don't dismiss the fact that there are an
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: awful lot of people who say, just pack the basement
• 45:37
  Speaker 3: full of lawyers, guns and money and you ride it out.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: Be part of that next battle for liberty. But why
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: does the battle have to be a kinetic one? Here's
• 45:52
  Speaker 3: where very much like that other fella from Queen's with
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: an unusual haircut see radio show hosts usually don't come
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: up quick on a ponytail. So like that other fellow
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: from Queen's with a notably unusual haircut, Donald Trump, I
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: don't necessarily believe battle always means bullets and bombs the
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: combat for ideas. If you read Son Sue, it's mostly
• 46:25
  Speaker 3: about how to win battles without ever engaging an army.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: This is combat. It could be the combat of ideas,
• 46:39
  Speaker 3: the attempt to make people realize that they're being marched
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: off to a battle that's going to leave them bereft,
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: maybe not of life, but of all the things life
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: is worth living for. Don't you think Terry and anyone
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: else that harbors this belief of you know? And I
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: have dear friends who have storage facilities on their property.
• 47:04
  Speaker 3: My wife has been to these classes. She cans and
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: she we prep some. My dear friend, our dear friend, Joel,
• 47:12
  Speaker 3: gave us a food dehydrator so that we can be
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: prepared nutritionally at least if everything goes pear shaped. But
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: my contention each and every morning as we gather here,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: whether you're digesting this through in podcast form, as you
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: download it through any of our distribution systems Spotify and Speaker.
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: And I was getting a real lesson yesterday, our our
• 47:43
  Speaker 3: newly created position of social media manager, was explaining to
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: me why my podcasts don't get downloaded as much. And
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: he said, you have to teach Spotify and Apple podcasts
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: that yours is an important podcast. Says, well, how do
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: I do this? I tell people on the radio to go.
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: He says, you have to tell people to download it
• 48:08
  Speaker 3: and like it. That tells the algorithm, and I hate it.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: I sound so desperate, like that kid who wants to
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: be voted, you know, class president. Please. But I guess
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: if you go there and you listen to the podcast,
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: like it, do all the things that help tell the
• 48:25
  Speaker 3: algorithm to distribute it to more people. But aside from that,
• 48:30
  Speaker 3: wherever it is, whether it's amplitude modulation, frequency modulation, streaming,
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: however you're getting this, the whole point is that this
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: combat for ideas is about going back to that liberty
• 48:45
  Speaker 3: and terry. To answer your question, the reason I do
• 48:49
  Speaker 3: what I do is because I believe that this generation,
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: because of our technology, because of our ability to do this,
• 49:01
  Speaker 3: that none of these generations that wound up getting trampled
• 49:04
  Speaker 3: under the Titler cycle before or whatever you call the cycle.
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: The cycle is real, from tyranny through revolution to liberty,
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: to prosperity, to apathy to anarchy and back to tyranny.
• 49:30
  Speaker 3: And why must we sacrifice a whole other generation of
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: what might be our grandchildren. We're already building a US
• 49:38
  Speaker 3: tax code that's going to take all of their money
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: from them just to pay our debts. Why would we
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: Why wouldn't we suit up in the battlefield of ideas
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: on the electronic frontier of being able to share these
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: ideas to try to avoid the kinetic bloodshed that often
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: is necessary to renew liberty. Why can't we renew liberty
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: in the battlefield of ideas this time? Because we have
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: so much opportunity to do that Before we run into
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: our news, We've got lots more to get into this morning.
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: I have to share this email. Was it Charles or Ray?
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: I think? Ray wrote in yesterday he heard me read
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: Bob in Portland's graphic about Elon Musk's position that if
• 50:36
  Speaker 3: you take five hundred dollars from one prosperous person and
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: give out one hundred dollars to five poor people who
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: aren't working, you gain five votes and lose one, and
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: it's a pyramid scheme, Ray wrote in yesterday. At the
• 50:54
  Speaker 3: end of the show, he said that that math is wrong.
• 50:57
  Speaker 3: In modern American parlance, you take five hundred dollars from
• 51:03
  Speaker 3: a maker, give one hundred dollars each to three takers,
• 51:09
  Speaker 3: and then keep two hundred for yourself, which is really
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: the way it works, so you still have a net gain.
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: The pyramid still works, Bob. It's just in a in
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: America's Democratic Party and truthfully in the fabian bureaucracy that
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: we've allowed to metastas size since the New Deal and
• 51:35
  Speaker 3: ramping up through the Great Society. Will take five hundred
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: dollars from a maker and set aside three hundred dollars
• 51:43
  Speaker 3: for three non makers, and keep the other two hundred
• 51:47
  Speaker 3: dollars for ourselves. Four three four eight eight two four
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: two one seven is the phone number. It's a multitasker,
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: so you can text message there as well, a very
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: popular way to do it. There get further into the situation.
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: Iran is saber rattling?
• 52:05
  Speaker 12: Is?
• 52:06
  Speaker 22: Is? This?
• 52:07
  Speaker 3: Is this the last act of a desperate man? As
• 52:11
  Speaker 3: the talks are supposed to begin today on their nuclear
• 52:14
  Speaker 3: program that they usually maintain doesn't exist. Or what are
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: you talking about? What nuclear program? You mean the one
• 52:20
  Speaker 3: we're sitting down to talk about, oh that one while?
• 52:23
  Speaker 3: Uh sure, we'll sit down and talk about something that
• 52:26
  Speaker 3: doesn't exist. Why don't we do that? And as always,
• 52:30
  Speaker 3: after we've told you what went on last night, we
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: want to hear how it is impacting you where you
