• 0:40
  Speaker 8: one seven. I'll tell you what went on last night
• 0:43
  Speaker 8: and we'll expect you to have a report on it
• 0:46
  Speaker 8: on my desk by first thing tomorrow morning, Missy. And

  Speaker 8: You can also use the phone number for a phone call.
• 1:02
  Speaker 8: And we have Tom Garrett, a member of the Virginia
• 1:05
  Speaker 8: House but also the host of the Tom Drops Bombs
• 1:10
  Speaker 8: video series shorts. I guess where you go get them
• 1:15
  Speaker 8: on YouTube. Tom, I wanted to ask you be back
• 1:18
  Speaker 8: when you're in the US House of Representatives. You told
• 1:21
  Speaker 8: us about how you know these Russian influencers, these bot
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: farms were creating animus between different sides on in twenty sixteen,
• 1:32
  Speaker 8: twenty seventeen to gin up riots in.
• 1:34
  Speaker 2: Places like Charlottesville.
• 1:36
  Speaker 8: Those just a report last week that the chi Cooms
• 1:39
  Speaker 8: along with Russia Today Television Network, are behind the anti
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: data center movement. Since data centers are such a big
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: part of the world right now, and especially the Virginia
• 1:50
  Speaker 8: budget debate, you know, shouldn't this be a front and
• 1:54
  Speaker 8: center kind of story that anyone who's out there, you know,
• 1:57
  Speaker 8: saying data centers are bad. There's a decent chance there's
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: some Chicom money back there, like there was in the
• 2:04
  Speaker 8: sixties when the Russians funded the anti war movement.
• 2:10
  Speaker 9: You don't have enough time in the segment. So we
• 2:14
  Speaker 9: we move away from carbon based fuels, largely because of
• 2:17
  Speaker 9: the narrative, which is largely false with relation to environmental impacts.
• 2:23
  Speaker 9: Kyoto and Paris Accords both did not reduce net carbon
• 2:27
  Speaker 9: emissions into our environment. They increased them. What they did
• 2:30
  Speaker 9: is they reduced the heck out of them. In the
• 2:32
  Speaker 9: developing world, which starts here in the United States, energy
• 2:36
  Speaker 9: is the lifeblood by which any industrial or productive society produces,
• 2:41
  Speaker 9: and so the Chinese knew that they were not blessed
• 2:44
  Speaker 9: with the resource wealth that the United States has. They
• 2:47
  Speaker 9: were not blessed with the global influence when this all
• 2:49
  Speaker 9: started that the United States had, and so they created
• 2:53
  Speaker 9: a demand by the United States to wean itself from
• 2:56
  Speaker 9: its most efficient and cost effective means to produce Energyata
• 3:00
  Speaker 9: center thing plays into this. We did not have NASA
• 3:03
  Speaker 9: and a space race with the former Soviet Union in
• 3:06
  Speaker 9: order to have a man orbit the Earth or land
• 3:08
  Speaker 9: on the Moon, but instead to develop technology for intern
• 3:12
  Speaker 9: of continental ballistic missiles. Right, that was the backstory of
• 3:16
  Speaker 9: what NASA was doing, you know when when we were
• 3:20
  Speaker 9: in the space race, and so too. The data center
• 3:24
  Speaker 9: fight is one for really global dominance, as it relates
• 3:28
  Speaker 9: to an ideological structure inside of which the world works
• 3:33
  Speaker 9: and it is it. It's this is a thirty or
• 3:36
  Speaker 9: forty year game. They've made our energy far far more expensive,
• 3:41
  Speaker 9: and now they've weaponized us against data centers.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 3:44
  Speaker 9: I don't like data centers anymore than the next guy.
• 3:46
  Speaker 9: I was the first person to vocally crypticize tax breaks
• 3:49
  Speaker 9: for data center developers in the General Assembly. I got
• 3:52
  Speaker 9: the video that said a United States who falls far
• 3:57
  Speaker 9: behind China and the AI realm, which is what data
• 3:59
  Speaker 9: said and it's really are, will not be in a
• 4:02
  Speaker 9: position to defend itself, let alone the free world from
• 4:06
  Speaker 9: the global elites and the giant communist dictatorships. And I
• 4:11
  Speaker 9: repeat myself right because the one percent that the left
• 4:14
  Speaker 9: likes to rail against is in league with anyone who
• 4:17
  Speaker 9: can help the one percent consolidate their power. And right now,
• 4:20
  Speaker 9: if you understand how China actually works, that's China, right,
• 4:24
  Speaker 9: They're a communist society right up until they aren't. Go
• 4:26
  Speaker 9: to Iceland, one of my favorite places to visit on Earth,
• 4:30
  Speaker 9: and look at the number of wealthy Chinese tourists. But
• 4:32
  Speaker 9: how can they do that when they're working for a
• 4:34
  Speaker 9: slave wage on a factory floor.
• 4:36
  Speaker 2: Well, not all of them are right, those are the
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: ones you see in Iceland.
• 4:41
  Speaker 9: No, they're not driving around Iceland poorly. That's so you
• 4:47
  Speaker 9: got a paradigm where the anti Data center fight is
• 4:50
  Speaker 9: really sort of a second Cold War fight between the
• 4:55
  Speaker 9: ideas of freedom and pluralism and democracy and the ideas
• 4:59
  Speaker 9: of total harry and centralized control. And it's very hard
• 5:04
  Speaker 9: to tell this story. Now, I try to be consistent
• 5:07
  Speaker 9: and honest. Again, I everything I fight for with regard
• 5:10
  Speaker 9: to solar, wind data and battery storage is local determination, right.
• 5:15
  Speaker 9: The left is trying to consolidate the approval for all
• 5:18
  Speaker 9: these things at the State Corporation Commission. We're going through
• 5:21
  Speaker 9: this fight right now at the Valley Link power line,
• 5:23
  Speaker 9: where the State Corporation Commissioner said, Hey, world, Virginia, we're
• 5:26
  Speaker 9: going to pave over massive swaths, not literally, but you know,
• 5:30
  Speaker 9: clearcut massive spots of your land. We're going to put
• 5:33
  Speaker 9: in a seven hundred and fifty ish kV line across
• 5:36
  Speaker 9: your land. And why well, the line goes from the
• 5:39
  Speaker 9: site of a proposed energy production source near Lynchburg all
• 5:43
  Speaker 9: the way up towards Louden, which is the world's highest
• 5:45
  Speaker 9: concentration of data centers. Louden, by the way, benefited between
• 5:49
  Speaker 9: of billions of dollars. And they've done so now at
• 5:53
  Speaker 9: the expense of people in rural Virginia. In one instance,
• 5:56
  Speaker 9: a place where this line's going through the entire county
• 6:00
  Speaker 9: ten point seven years below the state average life expectancy,
• 6:04
  Speaker 9: double poverty compared to the Commonwealth at large, disproportionately minority community.
• 6:10
  Speaker 9: These are all things that the Democrats say they care about,
• 6:13
  Speaker 9: and all they're doing. Is Yeah, it's like we're on
• 6:17
  Speaker 9: the feudal thief working the crops for the for the
• 6:20
  Speaker 9: lord of the manor. It's it's nuts.
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: Well it is Tom.
• 6:25
  Speaker 8: We're coming up on a break here and I appreciate
• 6:28
  Speaker 8: it as always. Uh, And we've got the folks from
• 6:31
  Speaker 8: Election Transparency. We're going to talk about the crazy, magical
• 6:34
  Speaker 8: mystery votes that showed up out of Disney's Pirates of
• 6:37
  Speaker 8: the Caribbean ride over the last two days.
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: So hang in and and thank you for that. I mean,
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: that was just brilliant, you know.
• 6:46
  Speaker 8: And you and I may disagree on data centers on
• 6:50
  Speaker 8: but you know, in terms of who's getting the tax break,
• 6:52
  Speaker 8: because it's not really the data center that's getting the
• 6:55
  Speaker 8: tax break, it's the computer wholesaler.
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: But thank you, sir. Hang On.
• 7:01
  Speaker 10: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 10: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: It was Medishare that came through for us and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: was no hassles, there was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 10: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:16
  Speaker 10: of such an incredible ministry.
• 7:17
  Speaker 11: Meta Share is a biblical approach to healthcare where Christians
• 7:21
  Speaker 11: share each other's medical expenses.
• 7:23
  Speaker 6: Medishare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 7:28
  Speaker 6: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 11: Metashare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over thirty years
• 7:34
  Speaker 11: old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
• 7:37
  Speaker 11: each other's medical bills.
• 7:39
  Speaker 9: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 7:41
  Speaker 9: You can focus on on supporting other people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 12: Medashare is affordable.
• 7:45
  Speaker 11: Medishare is Biblical. Medas Share is family. Join thousands of

• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 4: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: im doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 4: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:27
  Speaker 4: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 4: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and
• 8:36
  Speaker 4: inflammation has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: prevent cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer,
• 8:46
  Speaker 4: and in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: our healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com

• 10:01
  Speaker 14: on a farm in Tennessee.

  Speaker 1: I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 14: I'm not only in alle of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 14: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 14: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 14: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 14: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:18
  Speaker 14: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 14: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 14: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 14: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 14: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 14: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 14: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 14: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's

  Speaker 8: get back to Tom to let him drop some more bombs.
• 13:51
  Speaker 2: In a little bit.
• 13:52
  Speaker 8: But Ken Kochinelli is with the Election Transparency Initiative, just
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: penned an awesome piece calling out John Thune and some
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: of the Senate leadership regarding, uh that their attitude towards
• 14:06
  Speaker 8: FAISA and SAVE and Ken, thank you for joining us.
• 14:10
  Speaker 8: It's a it's an Election Transparency dot org is where
• 14:14
  Speaker 8: you find him online most days, and uh, I appreciate it.
• 14:20
  Speaker 8: I've still gobsmacked of how the Save Act is not
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: the law of the land now, almost as gobsmacked as
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: I was that we were unable to do repeal and
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: replace of Obamacare once President Trump got elected and Paul
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: Ryan was running the House.
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, and uh that.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: How great was for us? Not at all? It got
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: us a tax cut and nothing else. But uh, you know,
• 14:52
  Speaker 3: now we have a We've we've tested the Save Act.
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: It's passed the House twice. You know, the Senate Republicans
• 15:01
  Speaker 3: have problems, so that well, which Senate Republicans, well, the
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: neocons do and so the best way to pass it is, yeah, McConnell,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: the best way to pass it is to attach it
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: to the to FISA, and you and I wouldn't appreciate PISA.
• 15:21
  Speaker 3: I wouldn't vote for PISA by itself, but if you
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: put the Save Act on it, I'd vote for it. Really,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: I feel like I'm voting for the Save Act with
• 15:30
  Speaker 3: FAISO on it at that point.
• 15:33
  Speaker 8: But your column that you wrote is brilliant because it
• 15:36
  Speaker 8: also points to the national security implications of making sure
• 15:40
  Speaker 8: that only US citizens get on the voter rolls.
• 15:45
  Speaker 18: Yeah, yeah, radical stuff, you long hear, Yeah, you know,
• 15:51
  Speaker 18: And I mean, and it also has a voter ID
• 15:54
  Speaker 18: requirement for the one third of states that don't have
• 15:57
  Speaker 18: that yet with meaningful with meaningful implementation, you know, just
• 16:04
  Speaker 18: you know, show your cable bill and.
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: He's not kidding either. I mean, you know, we were
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: talking about this earlier.
• 16:12
  Speaker 8: That you can get on I think in California just
• 16:15
  Speaker 8: show a prescription bottle and there's something you want to
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: use for your ID to vote.
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Yeah, isn't that funny? Yeah, but it's funny except that
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: it's real.
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: And the the Save Act is an immediate improvement across
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: the board, so virtually all elections in the country are there.
• 16:37
  Speaker 8: You know, I've tried and I've tried, and the folks
• 16:41
  Speaker 8: will say, but you don't understand. There are unintended consequences.
• 16:45
  Speaker 8: And I've looked all through the Save Act for some
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: unintended consequence, Like remember when we all fell in love
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: with Eric that software that was supposed to help us
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: clear and then we discovered that the left was using
• 16:57
  Speaker 8: it to identify vote harvesting prospects. Okay, fool to use one.
• 17:02
  Speaker 8: So I went looking for that kind of thing in
• 17:05
  Speaker 8: this and I can't find it anywhere. Am I missing something?
• 17:09
  Speaker 3: You are not? I mean, Murkowski has made specific complaints,
• 17:14
  Speaker 3: for instance, about the folks who live up around the
• 17:17
  Speaker 3: Arctic Circle and so forth, but the Save Act accounts
• 17:21
  Speaker 3: for that. So it's really just an excuse on our part, and.
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: I'm dishonest.
• 17:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's dishonest.
• 17:30
  Speaker 10: I know.
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: That's shocking.
• 17:32
  Speaker 3: At the same time, you get people who I really like,
• 17:35
  Speaker 3: like Senator Kennedy, who say things like, well, we'll put
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: it on reconciliation, folks. That's also a lie. There's no
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: spending aspect to the Save Act. This is about securing
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: elections and only securing elections, right, reconciliation anything to go on.
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: Reconciliation has to have a spending it. And any Republican
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: who tells you things like that is counting is believes
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: you're stupid and or at least stupid enough not to
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: know that sort of you know, inside baseball detail of
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: how the Senate operates. But that's that's lying, and that's
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: the that bit of that too.
• 18:24
  Speaker 8: Well, that was a flame up during the night where
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: the President was after Senator Thoon to get rid of
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: the parliamentarian what's her name McDonough because she wouldn't she
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: wouldn't do that. She wouldn't come up with a way
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: to allow the Save Act to skirt and become reconciliation right.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: Correct, To make it, to get it through reconciliation, they're
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: going to have to associate it with money, So they'll
• 18:52
  Speaker 3: do something like, you know, create a voter fund or
• 18:56
  Speaker 3: something like that, and we'll just print more dollars, right,
• 19:01
  Speaker 3: because we had so many of those.
• 19:03
  Speaker 8: I mean, at this point it's ten cents or nine
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: cents the value, right, But you know that is that
• 19:10
  Speaker 8: is the future of it. Meanwhile, we're watching, you know,
• 19:15
  Speaker 8: skid Row turn out in huge numbers, and I love
• 19:18
  Speaker 8: the fact that skid Row has been the home of
• 19:21
  Speaker 8: the indigen population of Los Angeles since probably before the
• 19:25
  Speaker 8: turn of the century.
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: Just move in there. That's where we've been keeping them forever.
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: Spencer Pratt tweeted one in one night, forty three thousand
• 19:36
  Speaker 8: votes appeared for na mom Donnie. I'm sorry, that's not
• 19:40
  Speaker 8: her last name. She just looks like a mom Donnie.
• 19:42
  Speaker 8: But Nythia Raman and there are forty three thousand. There
• 19:47
  Speaker 8: was a report just two days earlier that there are
• 19:49
  Speaker 8: forty three thousand homeless Los Angelinos at any given time
• 19:53
  Speaker 8: at the night. Funny how forty three thousand votes just
• 19:57
  Speaker 8: showed up the next morning. There have we gotten so
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: conspiracy driven?
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: Well, you know, as Babylon d says, sixty percent of
• 20:09
  Speaker 3: the conspiracy has become true. And they have ballot harvesting.
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: And by the way, so do we in Virginia.
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, it's horrible.
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: You know, it's legal in Virginia. Youngin couldn't get rid
• 20:23
  Speaker 3: of it because he had a Democrat legislature.
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: Well, it's the worst.
• 20:26
  Speaker 8: Part of male in balloting is the ballot harvesting. And
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: then you add ballot cure into it.
• 20:33
  Speaker 1: Yes, so.
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: What do we do?
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: And well, honestly, that's a great question, unless we want
• 20:44
  Speaker 3: to start trying to use the federal government to impose
• 20:47
  Speaker 3: rules on states we can't win. And I wouldn't recommend
• 20:52
  Speaker 3: that because the other side can do that too. Now,
• 20:55
  Speaker 3: some people say we should do it because they're going
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: to do it, and.
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: I'm not in that.
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not in that camp. I do think we should
• 21:07
  Speaker 3: expose all this. And you know, one of the things
• 21:10
  Speaker 3: in the Spencer Pratt race was the twenty four thousand
• 21:14
  Speaker 3: ballot dump that didn't have a single Spencer Pratt Baalette
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: in it. Yeah, and the statistical likelihood of that, well
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: is you know, that's like hit by an asteroid that
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: we didn't see coming. Statistical well, that's today before noon.
• 21:32
  Speaker 2: It's amazing.
• 21:33
  Speaker 3: And yeah.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: So and but.
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: You know you mentioned that you think Nathur Raman is
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: going to win this thing. I mean, it begs the
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: question how bad do these cities have to get before
• 21:51
  Speaker 3: they'll pull back in some way? I mean, before competence
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: will matter.
• 21:56

  Speaker 8: sevens and our friend Tom drops bombs on YouTube on

  Speaker 8: with us.
• 28:45
  Speaker 2: But Kareem writes in Joe this and I'm not sure
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: what this is.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: See, when I was in English back in the New
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: York City public school system during the good old bankruptcy days,
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: me and the forty five other students in my English
• 28:58
  Speaker 8: class learned that you can't use until you've established what
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: the noun is. So Kareima, I don't know what this
• 29:05
  Speaker 8: refers to, but he does write and it's an interesting thought.
• 29:09
  Speaker 2: Joe.
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: This is why I recommend a group chat for your show.
• 29:13
  Speaker 8: It helps sift the truth out of the junk reports.
• 29:17
  Speaker 8: And he wrote this at eight fourteen Eastern, which was
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: about twenty minutes ago. So can somebody tell me what
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: it was? What junk report we were throwing out there
• 29:27
  Speaker 8: because we were just chatting with Tom? Are you referring
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: to the fact that we have responsibilities to take breaks
• 29:35
  Speaker 8: here and there so people can do traffic and weather
• 29:38
  Speaker 8: and you know, because I know that there is a
• 29:41
  Speaker 8: raging debate in the world of conservative commentary regarding whither
• 29:47
  Speaker 8: or not you know, radio fails because we have to
• 29:52
  Speaker 8: do things like I'll tell people what the weather is
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: going to be and stuff like that we have responsibility
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: to the population beyond just the conversation and there are
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: you know, then that's where guys like Joe Rogan come along.
• 30:07
  Speaker 8: Kareem as far as I know, will acknowledge, and they'll
• 30:11
  Speaker 8: come in and as day. You know, I got my
• 30:13
  Speaker 8: podcast twenty minutes long or two hours and forty minutes long,
• 30:17
  Speaker 8: you know, and it could be any or all of
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: the above, because he could just keep going until he's
• 30:22
  Speaker 8: punched himself out. But you know, radio is a different animal.
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: We've got to serve the needs. We got to the basics.
• 30:30
  Speaker 8: I remember my first day in Missus Rosenberg's TV studies
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: class at Bayside High School and I'm sitting there with
• 30:40
  Speaker 8: a freshly minted version of Marshall mcclewan's Understanding.
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: Media, saying, what have I gotten myself into?
• 30:47
  Speaker 8: And I'm thinking, my god, I thought we were just
• 30:50
  Speaker 8: going to watch TV and write reports about it. And
• 30:54
  Speaker 8: she said, what's the most important part of a newscast?
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: And I raised my hand. Oh, she missed the time,
• 31:01
  Speaker 8: as if she knew I was going to not give
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: her the answer she wanted. And I said, the traffic
• 31:05
  Speaker 8: and weather reports and she said, no, yeah, I guess technically,
• 31:12
  Speaker 8: but you know, oh, miss Johnson and she's like.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: The editorials and she's like, that's the most Bard Bard,
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: and I get it. You love the editorials. I'm doing
• 31:21
  Speaker 2: the editorials for you.
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: Tom, appreciate you hanging on the lines or kareem please
• 31:26
  Speaker 8: clarify for me?
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: God, Tom, go ahead? Do we no?
• 31:30
  Speaker 15: No?
• 31:31
  Speaker 9: Go yeah nomber how I would have been done by now?
• 31:34
  Speaker 9: Number one is is jag On He made me lose
• 31:39
  Speaker 9: my train of thought. The first function of the first
• 31:42
  Speaker 9: thing that any legislator should asked themselves when they're voting
• 31:44
  Speaker 9: on anything, is is this appropriate for government to be
• 31:46
  Speaker 9: doing at this level?
• 31:47
  Speaker 13: Right?
• 31:48
  Speaker 9: And so, because the state and federal government have got
• 31:51
  Speaker 9: their fingers in so many pies where they don't belong you,
• 31:54
  Speaker 9: you have a lot of things that we just aren't
• 31:56
  Speaker 9: they're not core essential functions, and so this shines a
• 32:01
  Speaker 9: light on that. But the second thing is who are
• 32:03
  Speaker 9: we electing to do this job? First of all, most
• 32:05
  Speaker 9: people aren't asking themselves is this an appropriate function of
• 32:08
  Speaker 9: government at the state or federal or local level, depending
• 32:10
  Speaker 9: on where we're electing them? And that, to me is
• 32:13
  Speaker 9: why we should start winning elections. These people have no
• 32:16
  Speaker 9: idea what they're doing. They can't agree with us, but
• 32:19
  Speaker 9: what's more, they can't agree with each other. And there's
• 32:22
  Speaker 9: so much pride and ego here that they don't care
• 32:25
  Speaker 9: who supper is in order for them to win the
• 32:27
  Speaker 9: Twitter debate. And that's dangerous and tragically all too true.
• 32:32
  Speaker 8: Now I'm going to drag California into this because I
• 32:37
  Speaker 8: worry that because our energy policy is tied to California,
• 32:41
  Speaker 8: we're going to see our electoral policies and things like
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: that start to export from the land of fruits and nuts,
• 32:48
  Speaker 8: the wonderful state of California. You look at what you
• 32:52
  Speaker 8: were talking about, this the Twitter debates and things like
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: that devolving into these ee poking contests. See more of
• 33:00
  Speaker 8: that happening nationwide and certainly coming home to roost here
• 33:03
  Speaker 8: in Virginia.
• 33:05
  Speaker 9: So there's a movie that came out probably twenty years
• 33:08
  Speaker 9: ago called Idiocracy the same my favorite.
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:11
  Speaker 9: I thought that was a documentary, right, it's it's become
• 33:15
  Speaker 9: a cautionary tale, right.
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: And so I don't like social media.
• 33:19
  Speaker 9: I am working my butt off to do good social
• 33:22
  Speaker 9: media and blessed to be surrounded by a very good
• 33:25
  Speaker 9: team of one that makes me look better than I am.
• 33:29
  Speaker 9: And the reason is that while social media is lowest
• 33:32
  Speaker 9: common denominator messaging, it's messaging. And so if Thomas Paine
• 33:35
  Speaker 9: were to draft common Sense in twenty twenty six, the
• 33:39
  Speaker 9: question becomes, with it be on su stack, Reddit, or
• 33:42
  Speaker 9: or Facebook first? Right, So this is where we have
• 33:45
  Speaker 9: these debates. The upside is that to the extent that
• 33:49
  Speaker 9: a citizen wishes to be informed, these are ongoing debates
• 33:52
  Speaker 9: in real time and you can sort of, you know,
• 33:54
  Speaker 9: see how the sausage is made, which I would encourage
• 33:56
  Speaker 9: people to do, even though it's a horribly ugly process
• 33:59
  Speaker 9: because it's your sausage.
• 34:02
  Speaker 3: But yeah, you know, I don't.
• 34:06
  Speaker 9: The question was what do I think about the devolution
• 34:09
  Speaker 9: into the into the into the Twitter debates. It is
• 34:12
  Speaker 9: where we are right, So you can take the rum
• 34:14
  Speaker 9: sealed rule you don't go to war with the army
• 34:15
  Speaker 9: you have, but the army, or the army you wish
• 34:17
  Speaker 9: you had, but the army you have.
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: This is what we got.
• 34:20
  Speaker 9: So our job now is as people who are rational
• 34:22
  Speaker 9: thinkers and conservatives who understood the foundational principles that created
• 34:27
  Speaker 9: the greatest nation in the history of mankind, our job
• 34:31
  Speaker 9: is to do our job and not complain about where
• 34:35
  Speaker 9: we are. So that's I'm trying to live in that
• 34:37
  Speaker 9: world and and win these fights, even though I wish
• 34:40
  Speaker 9: that the fights were different and we maybe sometimes living
• 34:43
  Speaker 9: in a different world.
• 34:44
  Speaker 2: I know that you you you have you know, overcome
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: a lot of things in your life.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 34:48
  Speaker 8: We got into this rabbit hole a little bit because
• 34:51
  Speaker 8: of the stabbing in New York City on Sunday. But
• 34:54
  Speaker 8: I said, listen, there's a there's a point where some
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: of this name calling and rhetoric that we're using to
• 35:00
  Speaker 8: try to create political victories has real world impacts on
• 35:04
  Speaker 8: people's mental health. Now, I don't know if the guy
• 35:06
  Speaker 8: who lost his grip on his last good marvel in
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: New York was doing it because you know, politics or not.
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: But we've had plenty of examples over the last few
• 35:16
  Speaker 8: months of people you know who have just you know,
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: had all they can stand. Like the guy at the
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: White House correspondence dinner. You just say, you know, this
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: guy is going to ruin X, Y or Z that
• 35:28
  Speaker 8: you care about, and we have to do something about it.
• 35:31
  Speaker 8: And some people make a bad choice of what is
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: they want to do about it?
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: Tom Right and this is I.
• 35:38
  Speaker 9: Would argue, intentional, and it's really frightening. So I can't
• 35:41
  Speaker 9: say a lot of the words that would come to mind,
• 35:43
  Speaker 9: but it is historically accurate to say that we create
• 35:47
  Speaker 9: language that degrades and lessens people when we want to
• 35:50
  Speaker 9: condition others to be willing to kill them. So it
• 35:54
  Speaker 9: was it was not okay to shoot someone in nineteen
• 35:56
  Speaker 9: forty three, but we praised our sons when they shot Nazis,
• 36:01
  Speaker 9: and and and you called them the hunt. There were
• 36:03
  Speaker 9: names for Japanese, there were names for the Vietnamese, there
• 36:07
  Speaker 9: were there are all these derogatory names are meant to
• 36:10
  Speaker 9: dehumanize and and and and you know, nobody thought it
• 36:15
  Speaker 9: was okay to kill an Italian person, but you could
• 36:17
  Speaker 9: certainly shoot a fascist. And so we've been listening for
• 36:21
  Speaker 9: for at least since bush Too, to bush It and
• 36:25
  Speaker 9: all these things. And this is very intentionally done to
• 36:28
  Speaker 9: devalue life and to make it easier to do things
• 36:31
  Speaker 9: that aren't meant to be easy to do. And there
• 36:34
  Speaker 9: are people who have more susceptibility. I would uh, I
• 36:38
  Speaker 9: guess Chentley euphem eze to these sorts of influences. And
• 36:43
  Speaker 9: so when you when you constantly dehumanized, a great denigrade
• 36:46
  Speaker 9: and lie about uh, the opposition. Don't be surprised when
• 36:49
  Speaker 9: people take kinetic action against the opposition. And I try
• 36:54
  Speaker 9: very hard to attack ideas and not people. Uh we well,
• 36:58
  Speaker 9: and it's so easy because the ideas are crazy. Yeah,
• 37:02
  Speaker 9: but we we do ridicule, right, I mean some of
• 37:04
  Speaker 9: the illustrations, et cetera. But that again is it's a
• 37:07
  Speaker 9: fine line, and I always try to make sure that
• 37:10
  Speaker 9: at its essence. Unless I'm being hyperbolically sort of funny
• 37:15
  Speaker 9: and telling you that all those amazing images at Tom
• 37:18
  Speaker 9: drafts bombs on YouTube are actual footage, I always try
• 37:21
  Speaker 9: to tell the truth.
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: Well, you're not.
• 37:24
  Speaker 8: If you've got Abigail Spenberger throwing a tantrum, it's because
• 37:27
  Speaker 8: you know, she got angry about something and and you know,
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: so you know, you don't have to see or throw
• 37:32
  Speaker 8: a tantrum if you see.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: The output of it is you know, a bunch of
• 37:37

• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Like another perfect.
• 44:58
  Speaker 3: I'm not.
• 45:08
  Speaker 8: Back to the magical mystery votes that keep showing up.
• 45:12
  Speaker 8: It's like Chicago, only the sun shines more than the windblows.
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: In Los Angeles. Spencer Pratt falling prey to more magical
• 45:21
  Speaker 8: mystery votes Ken Couchinelli from the Election Transparency Initiative. But
• 45:25
  Speaker 8: first I want to get Charles's email in here. When
• 45:28
  Speaker 8: I heard that President Trump's tariff on H one B
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: visus was declared attacks and unlawful, a dim bulb lit
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: up in my mostly reptilian brain. I seem to recall
• 45:39
  Speaker 8: that Obamacare's individual mandate or shared responsibility payment was declared
• 45:45
  Speaker 8: attacks and thus aok is that correct? And is there
• 45:49
  Speaker 8: a similarity between then and now? Well, yes, the similarity,
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: as Congress had passed Obamacare. Remember, we have to vote
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: for it before we can read it. Nancy blowsy walking
• 46:03
  Speaker 8: around swinging her gavel at TEA partiers on the lawn
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: of the Capitol Building. So therefore the therefore it being
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: declared a tax and not a fee by John Roberts
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: made it okay, made it lawful. But because President Trump
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: had executive executed a mandate on the H one B
• 46:27
  Speaker 8: visus that he does not have the taxing authority, so
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: by declaring it a tax then makes it unlawful.
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: There, that's how it That's how it.
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: Rolls there, Ken, we were talking about how bad it
• 46:39
  Speaker 8: has to get in Los Angeles, you know, and I
• 46:42
  Speaker 8: don't know how bad it can get skid row of
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: blessings on a place that's still skid row. My partner
• 46:50
  Speaker 8: at Daily Signal dot com, Hiley Gomez, has done some
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: great work on skid row in Los Angeles and what's
• 46:57
  Speaker 8: going on there forty three thousand homeless people than forty
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: three thousand ballots show up. I don't know how much
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: worse it has to get. Karen Bass is now the
• 47:07
  Speaker 8: reasonable center of the road candidate compared to Raman there.
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: But New York is the best I can think of.
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: I believe me, Ken. It got really bad before Giuliani
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: got elected, and I thought LA had to be worse
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: than what New York was in nineteen ninety two.
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I certainly think that's the case. But how
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: do we have an opportunity this week on the Faiza
• 47:37
  Speaker 3: He's Mark Warner is another one good target.
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: People ought to.
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: Call both Okay man Kin and they you know, they
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: ought to call their congressman. You know, Morgan Griffith seems
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: likely to cooperate with something like this. I don't know
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: about Ben Klein. I mean, Ben was quite a fighter
• 47:54
  Speaker 3: against the speaker, his own speaker in in the House
• 48:00
  Speaker 3: of Delegates. But I can't think of a time when
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: he has so much as me to peep, much less
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: bucked the leadership position on anything in Congress. I mean,
• 48:11
  Speaker 3: you're closer there than me. Maybe you can name something, No,
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: I can't think of anything.
• 48:17
  Speaker 8: And that and the leadership position good opportunity, Yeah yeah, so,
• 48:21
  Speaker 8: But I mean, do we need the John Fetterman's of
• 48:25
  Speaker 8: the world to you know, come over? Because I imagine
• 48:29
  Speaker 8: counting on Thomas Massey to vote for it is is
• 48:32
  Speaker 8: left on the last flight to Costa Rica.
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: You know, he doesn't like.
• 48:37
  Speaker 3: Faiza, and I agree with him on that, but he
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: certainly does like to save ACT and I don't know
• 48:41
  Speaker 3: where he'd come down when you've got both of them
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: balanced against one another. Do we need though, I mean,
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: that's a trade off, that's a legislative trade off.
• 48:51
  Speaker 25: Right.
• 48:51
  Speaker 8: Well, that's what I'm saying is is how do we
• 48:54
  Speaker 8: get Democrats? Do they have to get in such a
• 48:56
  Speaker 8: bad spot where they're afraid of more zorhan donis. I
• 49:00
  Speaker 8: just read a sharp poll that said the Democratic Socialist
• 49:04
  Speaker 8: is leading in the Washington d C.
• 49:06
  Speaker 2: Mayor's race.
• 49:08
  Speaker 8: I mean, these cities are becoming such festering, you know,
• 49:11
  Speaker 8: economic cess pools that the democratic.
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Socials not only yeah, not only yeah.
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: Socialism fits well there, right, I mean it caused, yes, exactly.
• 49:24
  Speaker 3: And and I don't think the Founders anticipated a situation
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: where you have such I mean, think about grand juries
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: where they won't indict a Democrat, but they will make
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: up crimes against a Republican. That's pretty dangerous. Oh, these
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: are centers of power in every state.
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: Well is is this You're talking about the Founders? And
• 49:47
  Speaker 8: here we are, you know, a month away from July fourth.
• 49:51
  Speaker 8: You know, one of the things I pointed to for
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: time and you know is the perversion of the Commerce
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: Clause that gives the federal government so much power over
• 49:59
  Speaker 8: so many aspects of our economy. I mean, does that
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: is that one of the first things we're going to
• 50:05
  Speaker 8: have to unplug at some point place if we're going
• 50:07
  Speaker 8: to ever get it back.
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: Well, I don't know, I really don't know. I'm encouraged
• 50:18
  Speaker 3: by what I see as an expansion of faith among
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: younger people, particularly among younger men.
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: I say that because I think we're kind of more
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: thick headed on things like that. And to see that
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: turn around. I mean, look, the founders didn't think they
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: could win without God. They thought he played a role
• 50:40
  Speaker 3: in it. And I'm not sure we can turn this
• 50:42
  Speaker 3: around without God. But yeah, yeah, so you know, call
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: your congressman, call your congressman, right, but pray and pray
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: for them, you know, and pray for their Well, that's
• 50:58
  Speaker 3: certainly true.
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: The ones you don't like, and we were going down.
• 51:03
  Speaker 8: You've talked about Mark Warner Ken and then there's you know,
• 51:07
  Speaker 8: Michael Bennett and John Hickenlooper in Colorado, Rick Scott in Florida. Uh,
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: that's a that's another one that you know, probably could
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: use some encouragement. Ashley Moody, She's terrific. But you know,
• 51:22
  Speaker 8: these these folks need encouragement wherever you are. I mean,
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: Carl Adam shiff you know, maybe he would, you know,
• 51:31
  Speaker 8: actually go go do that.
• 51:33
  Speaker 3: You know, you never know.
• 51:34
  Speaker 8: Broken clock is right twice a day. But Election Transparency
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: dot Org is where it is. Go read his piece
• 51:44
  Speaker 8: on Uh. If FISA is a must pass, why isn't
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: the Save Act? And I thank you for answering my question.
