- 0:07come from the government, but come from the creator.
- 0:11Speaker 2: That's what the round you The first.
- 0:13Speaker 3: Thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
- 0:17the second most famous Thomas.
- 0:19Speaker 4: And Charles Smith.
- 0:20Speaker 5: Your words at steal me Stem.

- 0:26Speaker 7: When the sun comes up, drops a pet to school law.
- 0:31Speaker 8: Joey is everything a Jane do all the Joses needs.
- 0:36Speaker 7: No one that Joe zonis smiled.
- 0:38Speaker 9: He only expe.
- 0:43Speaker 10: Joe, can we propose a trade for senators our friends
- 0:49in New Orleans? Can we have John Kennedy in exchange
- 0:54for Tim Kaine and maybe a first round draft pick.
- 0:58We didn't think how close that guy was being president
- 1:01of the United States. So proud we are here in
- 1:04our flagship state of Virginia to count Tim Kaine as
- 1:08one of our leaders. This is the full exchange yesterday.
- 1:11It's so good to have these guys back in DC
- 1:14so they can say incredibly thoughtful stuff like this.
- 1:18Speaker 1: The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't
- 1:22come from the government, but come from the Creator.
- 1:25Speaker 2: That's what the Iranian government believes.
- 1:27Speaker 5: Oh my god.
- 1:28Speaker 1: So the statement that our rights do not come from
- 1:32our laws or our governments.
- 1:34Speaker 2: Is extremely troubling.
- 1:38Speaker 10: I mean, bless their heart for saying the quiet part
- 1:41out loud. I mean, really, at some point the arrogance
- 1:46has overwhelmed them. This is the stuff that they always believed.
- 1:51They were just too smart to say it out loud.
- 1:55But in the post AOC world, this stuff becomes okay
- 2:02because you can get five percent of your supporters to say, yeah, yeah,
- 2:06I want to write to a house, you know, I
- 2:08want to write to or income and I want to
- 2:09write the food. I don't give a crap about free speech.
- 2:16What good is free speech if I'm hungry. That's the
- 2:20trade off. That's what the Great Society has put us in.
- 2:26And some would argue this was the plan as in plantation.
- 2:32I mean, this is a phrase that the left loves
- 2:34to use that, Oh, you're just on the plantation if
- 2:37you have a job like Barry Weiss, the former New
- 2:43York Times, somebody who's so extreme even The New York
- 2:47Times couldn't keeper, is about to take over CBS News.
- 2:52And you think the battle between Newsmax and Fox is interesting,
- 2:56wait till Barry Weiss takes over CBS News. You'll be
- 3:00looking back on the days when Stephen Colbert did the
- 3:03Night Show and said, Wow, remember the good old conservative
- 3:07days at CBS. Maybe she'll have the hand in deciding
- 3:14who will take over the eleven thirty time slot. Maybe
- 3:17it'll be all Huffington Post style news all the time.
- 3:24Barry Weiss, yikes, I thought Barry Weiss taking over CBS
- 3:29was going to be. But then you know, Tim Kane
- 3:31opens his cake hole and it's Johnny bar the door.
- 3:36And this is a guy who holds a Senate position
- 3:39from the state that gave us the Declaration of Independence.
- 3:42Tim that says we hold these truths to be self evident. Tim,
- 3:50Do I need to go on? Do I need to
- 3:52actually come to your office and Constitution slap you? Endowed
- 3:57by their creator? What do you think that means? Tim?
- 4:02The alleged Catholic? Of course, what should we suspect with
- 4:08Pope Leo calling on the calling on the Almighty to
- 4:13end the pandemic of arms?
- 4:16Speaker 5: In any event?
- 4:17Speaker 10: Our first things on this Thursday morning, so much to
- 4:21get into. Vice President jd Vance, while visiting Milwaukee, Pard
- 4:29of me Minneapolis said there's no immediate plans to deploy
- 4:32the National Guard to Chicago. President Trump said he would
- 4:37deploy the National Guards troops to Chicago, but did not
- 4:41say win. The President's going to host a dinner Thursday
- 4:45in the newly renovated White House Rose Garden It's now
- 4:50It now has a paved surface for those who are
- 4:53either in the press corps covering an event or for
- 4:56events like this where a doesen't influence. Tech and business
- 5:01leaders have been invited. White House spokesman Davis Ingall calls
- 5:05it quote the hottest place to be in Washington or
- 5:08perhaps the world, and the President plans to host many
- 5:11similar gatherings there. Department of Homeland Security Wednesday moved to
- 5:17end a Biden era designation of Temporary Protected Status for
- 5:22Venezuelan immigrants in the United States. Says that Venezuela no
- 5:26longer met the TBS requirements, which are that the country
- 5:30had to have experienced a natural disaster, armed conflict, or
- 5:34other extraordinary event. Security was heavy outside Annunciation Catholic Church
- 5:41ahead of Vice President J. D. Vance visit. He converted
- 5:45to Catholicism in twenty nineteen, and was joined by Second
- 5:48Lady Usha Advance as I met with families and victims
- 5:52of the shooting at the Catholic church in Minneapolis, killing
- 5:56two kids injuring twenty one others. The Vans has stood
- 5:59in front of the memorial and laid flowers across the street.
- 6:03Protesters hollered at the couple and waived signs saying pro
- 6:07life equals pro gun safety and when you pray, move
- 6:11your feet, an expression that is popular now for those
- 6:15who say thoughts and prayers aren't enough. Tariffs imposed on
- 6:19the US on India have strained relations, but Indian Commerce
- 6:22Minister Piush Goyle said Tuesday he hopes to complete a
- 6:26trade deal with the administration by November. State Department announced
- 6:30Wednesday the United States in Mexico will continue security cooperations
- 6:35to fight transnational organized crime, paramount finalizing the deal to
- 6:41acquire Barry Weiss's Free Press for two hundred million dollars
- 6:46and give her a top editorial role at CBS News,
- 6:50and the Florida Surgeon General announced Wednesday the state is
- 6:53ending all vaccine mandates. And those are just some of
- 6:57your first things.
- 7:01Speaker 5: You know. It's true.
- 7:02Speaker 11: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
- 7:05to think about what matters most when it comes to
- 7:07our spending our healthcare. This is why so many people
- 7:11are joining meta share right now. Metas Share is a
- 7:14trusted way to save up to fifty percent on your
- 7:17monthly healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people have
- 7:20already made the switch. It's pretty obvious why, especially now
- 7:24during this challenging season with health care costs and out
- 7:27of pocket.
- 7:27Speaker 5: Expenses going up.
- 7:28Speaker 11: Metas Share can save you a lot of money. The
- 7:31typical family saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too.

- 8:03Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 13:12Speaker 3: The first thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk
- 13:19Media Network.
- 13:19Speaker 7: We got to stop the pandemic of arms large and small,
- 13:25which infects our world.
- 13:27Speaker 1: The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't
- 13:31come from the government, but come from the Creator.
- 13:35Speaker 2: That's what the Iranian government believes.
- 13:38Speaker 5: Oh my god, And I say that, understanding how ironic
- 13:43that sounds.
- 13:46Speaker 10: That's the senator that represents the state that is home
- 13:50to the man who wrote we hold these truths to
- 13:53be self evident. I'm sorry, Tim, I think feel like
- 13:56I need to manxplain this for you. We hold these
- 13:59truths to be self evident, that all men are created equal,
- 14:05and that they are endowed by their creator with certain
- 14:09unalienable rights, and that they are life, liberty, and the
- 14:13pursuit of happiness. And that in to ensure these rights,
- 14:16governments are instituted amongst men, deriving their just powers from
- 14:22the governed. How much is Tim Kaine desperate to show
- 14:31his aoc bona phides. How much is he trying to
- 14:36get invited to Jasmine Crockett's Christmas party? What a nutcluster?
- 14:45How does how does a human being sit there? And
- 14:48and then you know, after having a pause to think
- 14:51about comparing the idea that our rights come from the
- 14:55Creator to the Iranian government, you know, the one that
- 15:00has no gaze in Tehran, it says, says, see the
- 15:10whole boy, this is like when the door doesn't open
- 15:12and the actors trying to make a big exit and
- 15:15he slams face first into the door.
- 15:18Speaker 1: So the statement that our rights do not come from
- 15:21our laws or our governments is extremely.
- 15:24Speaker 10: Troubling now for our friends in San Antonio who find
- 15:28themselves hell bent over Ted Cruz and everyone loves to
- 15:33hate Ted Cruz. Ted Cruz had this follow up to
- 15:38Senator Kane's just insane statement yesterday.
- 15:46Speaker 19: So Senator Kine said in this hearing that he founded
- 15:49a radical and dangerous notion that you would say our
- 15:54rights came from God and not from government.
- 16:00Speaker 5: I've just walked.
- 16:01Speaker 19: Into the hearing as he was saying that. I almost
- 16:03fell out of my chair because that radical and dangerous notion,
- 16:08in his words, is literally the founding principle upon which
- 16:13the United States of America was created.
- 16:16Speaker 5: Thank you, Ted, Thank you Ted.
- 16:20Speaker 10: Doctor Clark's on the phone with us, because I still
- 16:22have to process this. I'm collecting a list of who
- 16:24could possibly be a worse Senator than Tim Kaine. I mean,
- 16:29Mark Warner's further up the list as good senator than
- 16:32Tim Kaine.
- 16:33Speaker 5: Is did he fall and hit his head?
- 16:35Speaker 10: Can we find out if he fell and like had
- 16:37a skiing accident or something during the recess. I mean,
- 16:41six weeks is a long time, Morty Clark, How you doing, sir?
- 16:46Speaker 20: Tim Kaine is the creature that the Clinton's put in twace.
- 16:50Speaker 5: I'm telling you he is.
- 16:51Speaker 10: I mean, the only person that could be more of
- 16:54a Clinton pumpet is Terry mccauliffe. And thank God, fourteen
- 16:57words undid his political future.
- 17:00Speaker 20: Here you go, hey, Joe, huh on Tim Kaine's comment
- 17:05and pop Leo's if we go back to our Bible.
- 17:12Speaker 10: Oh, I know, that's a radical thought. We should call
- 17:14the FCC and see if we're allowed to discuss this.
- 17:18Speaker 5: Go ahead, We'll call the pope.
- 17:19Speaker 20: And see if we're allowed to read it. Anyway, So,
- 17:25when one third of the human population was a murderer,
- 17:31what was the weapon of choice? Joe? It was the
- 17:35R one assault.
- 17:37Speaker 5: Rock, the one assault rock.
- 17:41Speaker 20: If you have flipped that rock over, who was the
- 17:44manufacturer on that rock?
- 17:45Speaker 7: Joe?
- 17:46Speaker 5: I believe it would be God himself God.
- 17:50Speaker 20: So I guess Colt is just kind of like carrying
- 17:53on God's.
- 17:54Speaker 5: Work, I guess.
- 17:55Speaker 3: So.
- 17:56Speaker 10: I guess, So, Samuel, what is a what was the
- 18:01expression God created all men equal. Samuel and God didn't
- 18:07do it. Samuel Cole did so I don't know, but.
- 18:12Speaker 12: You know, I don't know.
- 18:14Speaker 20: Joe.
- 18:14Speaker 5: Was that a ghost rock?
- 18:15Speaker 20: It didn't have a serial.
- 18:16Speaker 5: Number, that's true.
- 18:18Speaker 10: Who we can't prove where it came from? And should
- 18:21we should we be allowed to sue the rock manufacturer?
- 18:27Speaker 20: Well what if Cain had had a whiting period to
- 18:30get a rock?
- 18:32Speaker 10: I don't know, you know, as somebody who speaks on
- 18:35behalf of the scissors coalition, because of course rock breaks scissors.
- 18:41Speaker 5: I'm sorry, we're getting.
- 18:42Speaker 10: We're just I mean, this is truly you have to
- 18:46satirize this, but this was delivered with the seriousness of
- 18:50a damn heart attack, Doctor Clark. I mean, I find
- 18:53myself incapable of doing anything but mocking Tim Kaine.
- 18:58Speaker 20: Well, here's the thing, Joe, he knows his audience, and
- 19:03they ate that up with a spoon.
- 19:06Speaker 5: See, you know, I can't believe.
- 19:08Speaker 10: And maybe it's the arrogance of being many years removed
- 19:12from the next time he's ever going to have to
- 19:14try to get his sorry carcass reelected. That allows him
- 19:17to say this stuff. And that opens up my point
- 19:20that senators, when they became popularly elected, should have had.
- 19:24Speaker 5: Their terms shortened.
- 19:26Speaker 10: But this is this is, as I said, trying to
- 19:31get invited to Jasmine Crockett's Christmas party or a Festivus
- 19:35party or whatever it is she's going to hold, you know,
- 19:39post Thanksgiving holiday festival that she's going to host. This
- 19:44is him trying to get right with the squad.
- 19:48Speaker 20: Well, you know, swing voters are not that big a
- 19:56concern at this point for Democrats. It's hanging on to
- 20:02the squad, I e. The more radicalized part of the base.
- 20:08That's what you know, if you're what is the word
- 20:11I want? Maybe traditional democrat.
- 20:14Speaker 10: Yeah, I guess if you want to use that, I
- 20:16don't even know what that means anymore.
- 20:18Speaker 20: I mean, well, you know there's anybody else, but for
- 20:22lack of a better term, if you're in that category.
- 20:26You know, it used to be you had to get
- 20:28the base and some swing voters, and now there's just
- 20:36no way to do swing voters and the more radicalized
- 20:39portion of the base. I better go after the more
- 20:42radicalized per portion, otherwise I will get radicalized primaried.
- 20:48Speaker 5: Yeah, I'll get primaried out.
- 20:49Speaker 10: And somebody liked money at this point, Yeah, no, absolutely,
- 20:55and it's happened, and we had some wonderful Democrats in
- 20:58the Virginia Senate like get you know, if you're listening wherever,
- 21:02look up the name Chap Peterson.
- 21:04Speaker 5: He's written a book.
- 21:05Speaker 10: About how he got ran out of the Democratic Party
- 21:08because he said, oh, I don't know, parents should have
- 21:10a right to know what their kids are doing in school,
- 21:14and you know, the government lockdowns were unconstitutional.
- 21:18Speaker 5: Ran them out on a rail.
- 21:20Speaker 3: You know.
- 21:21Speaker 20: I guess really there's not a lot of choice there
- 21:24and perhaps, uh, I don't know, the Democrat model ought
- 21:28to be go left or go home.
- 21:30Speaker 5: Yeah, at this point, that's it.
- 21:33Speaker 10: I mean, that's it because if even people like Tim
- 21:37Kaine or talking like this. The President was right yesterday
- 21:42when he said they could pass a budget that cut
- 21:44everyone's taxes, funded every branch of the government and they
- 21:48still wouldn't get a single vote from a single Democrat
- 21:52just because it has his name on it. Clark, good stuff,
- 21:56my friend, You have a great morning.
- 21:58Speaker 5: Take care.

- 24:12am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 24:18optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 24:22nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 24:26reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 24:31The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 24:36has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 24:41cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 24:45in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 24:50healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 28:20Speaker 10: Terry writes in from the Bay Area, and it's Joe,
- 28:25have you forgotten Maxine Waters? We'd trade Maxine for Tim
- 28:29Kaine's learned level headedness anytime. Well, all right, but it's
- 28:36a different manifestation. So classy Maxie is just got overwhelming
- 28:44Trump derangement syndrome. One might even call it long Trump
- 28:48derangement syndrome. Virginians know that Tim Kaine likes to tell
- 28:55everyone he's suffering from long COVID, So Maxine has long
- 29:01Trump derangement syndrome. What Tim Kaine said is essentially to
- 29:08me anyway, and you you results may vary at four
- 29:12three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 29:15Speaker 5: It's so much to get on with. But this is such.
- 29:23Speaker 16: It is.
- 29:26Speaker 10: It eats at the core of so much more than
- 29:34just Donald Trump. This is so much more dire than
- 29:40whether Donald Trump is.
- 29:42Speaker 5: President or not. When a US senator says.
- 29:45Speaker 1: The notion that rights don't come from laws and don't
- 29:49come from the government, but come from the Creator, that's
- 29:53what the Iranian government believes, unbelievable. So the statement that
- 29:58our rights do not come from our our laws or
- 30:01our governments is extremely troubling.
- 30:05Speaker 5: I mean, I just don't.
- 30:11Speaker 10: Find how this man who claims to be so bipartisan
- 30:16because a former Republican governor of Virginia's daughter married him,
- 30:23Ann Holton, is is stunning to me. I mean, it's
- 30:42just was re elected again last year in twenty twenty four,
- 30:49beat hung Cow in a race that everyone warned us
- 30:56was going to go this way. Hung Cow had a
- 30:58bunch of opponents in that race, and they were all
- 31:03warning that it.
- 31:06Speaker 5: Was tough. It was a tough battle.
- 31:10Speaker 10: But you've got it's like Groundhog Day, Groundhog saw his shadow,
- 31:15and you've got six more years of Tim Kaine saying
- 31:19stuff like that. And remember something about Tim Kaine, and
- 31:29I'm gobsmacked that a human being that holds the office
- 31:33of US Senator would say this. But understand one thing
- 31:37about Tim Kaine's history. When he first became Mayor of Richmond,
- 31:48he was the mayor of Richmond in nineteen ninety eight,
- 31:52it was city councilor before that, the city councilor from
- 31:56I think nineteen ninety five, ninety four, something like that.
- 32:00The mid nineties he became a member of city Council.
- 32:03He was there for six years, which I believe his
- 32:06three consecutive terms. So impressed this wealthy hotelier named George
- 32:13Sorows that when he ran for mayor of Richmond, long
- 32:19before George Soros had started the Arabella Advisors, long before
- 32:25George Sorows had realized that it cost a lot less
- 32:32to elect a whole bunch of progressive prosecutors for cities
- 32:36like San Francisco and Richmond Fairfax County, even if it
- 32:45meant ousting Democrats from the office. He invested in the
- 32:52City of Richmond's mayoral race.
- 32:56Speaker 18: Oh.
- 32:56Speaker 10: Yes, autumn and early nineteen ninety eight, Tim Kane running
- 33:06for Mayor of Richmond, funded by George Soros. Nobody cared
- 33:10because nobody had ever heard of George Soros. A photograph
- 33:15on Alex Soros's Twitter account is a picture of Alex
- 33:20with Tim arm in arm Alex Soros, who George, his father, says.
- 33:30Speaker 5: Is the real political activist.
- 33:35Speaker 10: I think almost as a warning to everyone. You think
- 33:38I was bad, Wait, you see what my kid's gonna do.
- 33:45It's like when the crazy king takes over after you know,
- 33:52everyone in England worrying, you know, is William really gonna
- 33:55you know, all of a sudden, William gets in there
- 33:57and says, all right, I'm gonna putnish.
- 33:59Speaker 5: All you movoes over what you did to my mom.
- 34:03We're bringing back hangings off the tower bridge. Get me
- 34:07all the media people, all the paparazzis. I still.
- 34:11Speaker 10: I mean, there's a thought in my head that when
- 34:14Charles finally passes the throne over to William, he turns
- 34:19into William the executioner. All you people that killed my
- 34:23mother going after you. We're going to get our colonies
- 34:28back too. Just last good marble falls on the floor,
- 34:34and somewhere in southern California, Harry's saying, oh, I told
- 34:38you so. But George warned us all that his son
- 34:44Alex is way more activists than George Is and he
- 34:51posts to Twitter how much he loves Tim Kaine.
- 34:55Speaker 5: I don't know.
- 34:55Speaker 10: Tim Kaine might be his godfather. Will No, that would
- 34:58infer that they believe in So I guess I guess
- 35:01Alex probably doesn't have a godfather outside of maybe the
- 35:05mafia incarnation or implication of the phrase.
- 35:09Speaker 5: But God implies that you believe that there's a God.
- 35:13Speaker 10: And if they don't give us our unalienable rights, Tim,
- 35:19then what are they doing?
- 35:22Speaker 5: What is going on?
- 35:27Speaker 10: So I just it's just and Virginians six more years
- 35:31of Tim Kaine. You're going to do a better job
- 35:35when Mark Warner comes up, because you know, for a
- 35:37state that can swing either way at the whim, and
- 35:42if the Republicans get off their arse and stop an
- 35:47unconstitutional constitutional amendment that will make us the abortion tourism
- 35:53capital of the world. Maybe that's the secret. They want
- 35:55to say, Oh, look at all the visitors we've had.
- 35:58They come for the abortion cli and then we get
- 36:00a free tour of Montpellier and Mount Vernon onwards and upwards.
- 36:11As much as you know, my life is dominated by
- 36:14people like you know, in my business, you're supposed to
- 36:19kneel before the icons of Edward R. Murrow, who was
- 36:23so colossally wrong about being right in his most famous
- 36:31battle with Joe McCarthy, completely missed it was so hell
- 36:34bent on the personality of Joe McCarthy that he missed
- 36:38the journalism, forgot the journalism. And it's amazing that we
- 36:42hold this up as a high point of journalism because
- 36:45instead of doing journalism, Edward R.
- 36:48Speaker 5: Murrow went on.
- 36:49Speaker 10: A crusade to destroy Joe McCarthy, who was wrong about
- 36:53what he was doing, but not why a journalist would
- 36:58have unearthed the realities of what McCarthy was saying, while
- 37:03at the same time showing how the US Constitution doesn't
- 37:08provide for those kind of witch hunts. Joe poor k
- 37:14nolos dos both can be true?
- 37:17Speaker 5: Why not both?
- 37:20Speaker 10: So Murrow was doubly wrong when he went after McCarthy,
- 37:23because he should have been going after the fact that
- 37:26McCarthy was right. There were communists all through the US government,
- 37:29but arresting them isn't going to make them any less communists.
- 37:36But the halls that were once walked at Blackrock by

- 44:32Speaker 10: As Barry Weiss is set to take over CBS News
- 44:37with a two hundred million dollar endowment, they're going to
- 44:43pay her for her substack account and bring her on
- 44:47as a news it appears news director. The concern amongst
- 45:00those on the left is that this is one of
- 45:03those radicals. This is this is somebody who called dared
- 45:07to call out woke, dared to call out.
- 45:14Speaker 5: The grievance culture.
- 45:20Speaker 10: And even though she's you know, it probably makes Bill
- 45:24Maher look like Rush Limbaugh when it comes to policy
- 45:27and politics. And this is where I you know, there
- 45:31is trepidation when people like Barry Wise, Bill Maher and
- 45:35these folks come on over if you use the phrase,
- 45:40because there is still a subtext of the government needs
- 45:44to do something about all these things. She was one
- 45:49of the supporters of Barack Obama's idea of protecting sources
- 45:53for licensed journalism. You know, even though you know, taking
- 46:03the positions she did against The New York Times certainly
- 46:09puts her planted square in opposition too. I don't just
- 46:14jump in with people who oppose the same things I oppose,
- 46:18because you can do it for different reasons as well.
- 46:26Speaker 5: Washington Post.
- 46:28Speaker 10: Portrait of her biography of her piece that they did
- 46:34liberal uncomfortable with the excesses of left wing culture. It's
- 46:41a fair statement, but what about the policies that the
- 46:46excesses are trundling in? She stood with Israel, and that's
- 46:54wonderful because we need voices that will do that, and
- 47:07we need truth tellers. We need people in these places
- 47:11to do what Edward R. Murrow was incapable of doing.
- 47:14So hell bent in his vendetta against Joe McCarthy, he
- 47:17couldn't do real journalism, which was what we needed him
- 47:21to do. And perhaps one of the galactic failures of
- 47:25journalism was Edward R. Murrow so blinded by the personality
- 47:30of Joe McCarthy and his hatred of Joe McCarthy's attempt
- 47:34to arrest communism and throw it all, you know, throw
- 47:37all the communists in prison, which I think we can
- 47:41agree is unconstitutional having a political belief what you're doing
- 47:49with it is, However, and this is where Edward Armuraw failed.
- 47:54On the same hallways Barry Weiss is going to be walking.
- 48:00He failed to do the right thing, which was unearthed
- 48:03the fact that while McCarthy was wrong about how to
- 48:07punish them, he wasn't wrong about how many communists were
- 48:10now running the country and indoctrinating our children. We could
- 48:16have used that knowledge, ed That's what a journalist is
- 48:25supposed to do. Tell us these things, say hey, Joe
- 48:28McCarthy may be wrong, but look at what we found
- 48:31he's not wrong about all these communists in here, and actually,
- 48:36you know, bring us into a world where we can
- 48:38have that discussion.
- 48:40Speaker 5: What a world that would have been, and a world.
- 48:42Speaker 10: Where Eisenhower was president and a world where Jack Kennedy
- 48:46was on ascension. We could have had a debate on
- 48:50and dragged communism out of the shadows where it was
- 48:54hiding and let it melt in the sunlight like the
- 48:56witch from Wizard of oz Ah.
- 49:03Speaker 5: But he didn't.
- 49:07Speaker 10: So personally affronted because friends of his were going to,
- 49:12you know, perhaps run the risk of the rest. I mean,
- 49:16I understandable. So when Barry Weiss takes over CBS News
- 49:26when confronted with the same choice, and she's you're very
- 49:30quiet on her views on Donald Trump. Is she as
- 49:34much of a proponent of Trump derangement syndrome? Does she
- 49:38view Trump as an existential threat? Or is she all
- 49:42in on the Joe Rogan bandwagon until you know, she
- 49:47doesn't report on things that perhaps he shouldn't do, like oh,
- 49:50I don't know own ten percent of Intel. A podcast
- 49:56we titled two Wrongs trying to make a right from
- 49:59Yesterday's which, by the way, you can find if you
- 50:02only get one hour of the program. You can find
- 50:05the remaining three hours online at all the big podcast

- 50:28of places you can subscribe and just have the podcast
- 50:31delivered when I get my sorry carcass around to posting
- 50:35them online. But yeah, we posted a segment yesterday, two
- 50:42wrongs desperately trying to make it right, get out of
- 50:48the company's pockets, and then you wouldn't need ten percent kickback.
- 50:52But that's that's telling truth to power. That is my
- 50:56view of the constitutionality of whether the US government should
- 51:00be owning ten percent of a business and saying, well
- 51:03the rest of the world does, it isn't sufficient for me.
- 51:10So we'll see, you know, I'd like to see the
- 51:14Barry Weiss that was calling truth to power on the
- 51:18American radical left. What's Barry Weiss's opinion of Tim Kaine's
- 51:23statement about God given rights? It will position to you know,
- 51:31maybe Fox News can try to keep CBS from having
- 51:35any channels on the cable networks too, since that seems
- 51:39to be their business model now, which is, oh, somebody
- 51:42else talking conservative policies. Let's make sure they can't get
- 51:45on any of the cable channels. You know, it's funny,
- 51:51you know, I was reading this. This is about the
- 51:52lawsuit Newsmax is suing Fox because their deals with all
- 51:56these cable operators have kept news from prime channel locations.
- 52:03And I remember when Fox launched. I was just watching
- 52:06the whole Dallas Cowboys thing and Rupert Murdoch is part
- 52:09of it because getting the NFC football games was a
- 52:12big part of Fox's launch. But they used to fight
- 52:17about the same spectrum issues on broadcast and on cable.
- 52:21It's amazing how just in a few decades things can
- 52:25come full circle and Fox will do that. So maybe
- 52:27if Barry Weiss takes over CBS and they start to
- 52:30lean conservatively, Fox will just try to push them off
- 52:33the cable channels as well. But we will see four
