• 0:16

• 0:36
  Speaker 7: I want to be Joe.
• 0:39
  Speaker 8: Oh, thank you so much for letting me be of
• 0:41
  Speaker 8: service to you all along the Tunk Media network. And
• 0:45
  Speaker 8: I don't have a full roster of who picks us
• 0:47
  Speaker 8: up on Saturday mornings, but you are in the avant garde.
• 0:52
  Speaker 8: Long Island News Radio, for example, my old home. So
• 0:56
  Speaker 8: proud to be back on w RCN at Long Island
• 0:59
  Speaker 8: News Radio.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: This is the place that started at all. I am
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: here on.
• 1:03
  Speaker 8: Long Island to do numerous things. But while we're here,
• 1:08
  Speaker 8: it's our thirty third wedding anniversary. So we went out
• 1:11
  Speaker 8: May first and we went to Eisenhower Park where it happened,
• 1:15
  Speaker 8: and we found like one remaining tree from our wedding
• 1:20
  Speaker 8: ceremonies of a year ago. But it's beautiful. Whatever they've
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: done to the place. It's just it's stunning, more so
• 1:26
  Speaker 8: even than when we booked it thirty three years ago
• 1:30
  Speaker 8: for our wedding, and so we've been out here for
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: that here and it's the importance of this radio station
• 1:40
  Speaker 8: to my life cannot be overstated. Almost one hundred percent
• 1:45
  Speaker 8: of what I learned about doing radio, not just broadcasting.
• 1:52
  Speaker 8: I mean I could read Marshall mccluan and get the aps,
• 1:55
  Speaker 8: but everything that I am has learned here, whether I
• 2:01
  Speaker 8: knew it at the time or not, because a lot
• 2:03
  Speaker 8: of the stuff I was, you know, just too dumb
• 2:06
  Speaker 8: to realize I was learning at the time. And so
• 2:09
  Speaker 8: it just you know, you did what you did, and
• 2:11
  Speaker 8: you came out the other end. We had our first
• 2:14
  Speaker 8: child here. You know, met the woman I loved, you know,
• 2:18
  Speaker 8: at a radio station event, and she didn't know who
• 2:21
  Speaker 8: I was. And that was the first telling point I said,
• 2:24
  Speaker 8: I like this girl. I mean, she was beautiful to
• 2:27
  Speaker 8: begin with, so you know, I'm a leg guy, so
• 2:30
  Speaker 8: don't even start on legs. But she, you know, I
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: saw her, and I was just I got to talk
• 2:36
  Speaker 8: to her, and then.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: You know, it was a room full of people who
• 2:39
  Speaker 3: knew who.
• 2:39
  Speaker 8: I was, and I've seen play misty for me enough
• 2:42
  Speaker 8: times where I'm like, not going, not playing in that
• 2:47
  Speaker 8: joke box. But she had no idea who I was,
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: and that was good. I was like great, even better
• 2:52
  Speaker 8: win win. I want to get into Georgia versus Virginia.
• 2:57
  Speaker 8: Georgia has apparently said Virginia is wrong when it comes,
• 3:01
  Speaker 8: and I wonder if this will weigh in on Virginia's
• 3:04
  Speaker 8: Supreme Court, and if any members of Virginia's Supreme Court
• 3:07
  Speaker 8: are listening at the moment, I want you to pay
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: heed to this, or if you know anyone in Virginia's
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: Supreme Court, send them the story from Georgia. I will
• 3:16
  Speaker 8: tell you a little bit of it, but we'll go
• 3:18
  Speaker 8: into greater detail here in our first things. Georgia has
• 3:22
  Speaker 8: turned down the opportunity to redraw their districts, as did
• 3:29
  Speaker 8: South Carolina, saying that early voting has already started for
• 3:35
  Speaker 8: their primary, so they won't suspend that. Now in Louisiana,
• 3:39
  Speaker 8: they have suspended primary voting so that the districts.
• 3:43
  Speaker 3: Can be redrawn.
• 3:44
  Speaker 8: I have a feeling that's going to see the inside
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: of a courtroom, and there's no place more fun than
• 3:49
  Speaker 8: the inside of a Louisiana courtroom. Alabama's governor has called
• 3:54
  Speaker 8: for a Monday redistricting session. Mississippi has already begun. Theirs
• 3:59
  Speaker 8: we walked about Florida at all based on the fact
• 4:02
  Speaker 8: that the Supreme Court last week removed the requirement to
• 4:07
  Speaker 8: have minority majority congressional districts in the Voting Rights Act. Meanwhile,
• 4:14
  Speaker 8: in the White House, White House has sent a letter
• 4:16
  Speaker 8: to Congress saying that military operations against Iran have terminated,
• 4:22
  Speaker 8: thus falling within the sixty day window of presidential authority
• 4:27
  Speaker 8: on military operations. Of The letter to Chuck Grassley and
• 4:32
  Speaker 8: Mike Johnson said, quote, the hostilities that began February twenty
• 4:36
  Speaker 8: eighth have terminated. Iran meanwhile, has handed over its latest
• 4:42
  Speaker 8: proposal for negotiations with the United States and mediators in Pakistan.
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: President Trump noted to reporters on Friday that he is
• 4:51

• 5:03
  Speaker 8: of Hormuz, the Pentagon is about to draw down five
• 5:06
  Speaker 8: thousand US troops out of Germany the Pentagon staff. Some
• 5:11
  Speaker 8: Pentagon staffers leaked to CBS News saying that This is
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: clearly retribution for Germany's stance against the US actions in Iran.
• 5:23
  Speaker 8: Pentagon also said it's made deals with seven companies to
• 5:28

  Speaker 11: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 11: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 11: im doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 11: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 11: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 11: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 11: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 11: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 11: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 11: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

• 10:20
  Speaker 14: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:22

• 10:28
  Speaker 14: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,

  Speaker 1: Challenge the first thing today on the Talk Media Network
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas.
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: There's some ironies.
• 13:35
  Speaker 10: Of the challenging.
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: You know, I forgot.
• 13:41
  Speaker 8: Uh So we're here visiting my mother in law and
• 13:45
  Speaker 8: they put the TV on c MT and it's just,
• 13:49
  Speaker 8: you know, it's Mama's Place, followed by Riba and you know,
• 13:54
  Speaker 8: and I love the Riba version of that, tilling Vicky
• 13:57
  Speaker 8: Lawrence into the Riba. There's just so much the you know,
• 14:00
  Speaker 8: thinking of the lights going out in Georgia. But I
• 14:03
  Speaker 8: forgot how you know it? Guess I don't. I don't
• 14:05
  Speaker 8: get the channels that everyone else does. And I was watching.
• 14:09
  Speaker 8: I was like, and Reba's still got it going on.
• 14:13
  Speaker 8: Don't tell my wife, I said that, But no, she knows.
• 14:16
  Speaker 8: We always have folks. We still even even once John
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: Cusack started opening his mouth and espousing how absolutely aduled
• 14:26
  Speaker 8: he is. When it comes to public policy and life
• 14:29
  Speaker 8: in America. She's still like, I love John Cusack movies.
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: So you know, I still got to watch, you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: every now and then, you know, maybe not some of
• 14:38
  Speaker 8: the edge that one with Morgan Freeman.
• 14:41
  Speaker 3: Know it was it eighteen.
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: Twelve, you know. And we've got all kinds. We got
• 14:48
  Speaker 8: both kinds here. It's like Bob Country's Bump, Bob's Country Bunker.
• 14:51
  Speaker 8: We've got both kinds country and Western here. But the
• 14:54
  Speaker 8: night the lights went out in Georgia, let's talk about
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: Georgia for a second. So, and I hope there are
• 15:02
  Speaker 8: members of Virginia's Supreme Court here because here in the
• 15:07
  Speaker 8: and this impacts.
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: The South there.
• 15:09
  Speaker 8: I was like, why is this all about these southern states?
• 15:12
  Speaker 8: Because the Southern states, because we seceded from the nation,
• 15:17
  Speaker 8: were flagged out of Virginia. As our friend Tom sent
• 15:23
  Speaker 8: me a text yesterday, he said, my dad always told
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: me a yankee was somebody who moved down from the north,
• 15:31
  Speaker 8: and a damn yankee was the were the ones that stayed.
• 15:37
  Speaker 8: I'm not sure what to take from that, Tom, but
• 15:42
  Speaker 8: all these states are in the South, the old Confederacy,
• 15:45
  Speaker 8: because the Voting Rights Act had a lot of these
• 15:48
  Speaker 8: preclearance laws specifically targeted to these Confederate states because the
• 15:55
  Speaker 8: Dixiecrats that invented the filibuster.
• 15:59
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, we're.
• 16:00
  Speaker 8: Going to get back into the filibuster in a moment,
• 16:02
  Speaker 8: because that's it inflamed itself in Washington again. But the dichicrats,
• 16:08
  Speaker 8: the same ones who wrote the nineteen twenty nine Permanent
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: Act for Redistricting and invented the filibuster and all these
• 16:16
  Speaker 8: other technocratic things that they used to keep the black
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: people down, were caught in the Voting Rights Act of
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: the sixties saying all right, you know you did this
• 16:28
  Speaker 8: ninety and this is, this is this.
• 16:31
  Speaker 3: Oh I wish I could be there at the time
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: I was.
• 16:34
  Speaker 8: I was just but a kid when they were doing
• 16:38
  Speaker 8: the Voting Rights Act. Why didn't you just repeal the
• 16:43
  Speaker 8: nineteen twenty nine Act for Permanent Redistricting?
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: You know why?
• 16:47
  Speaker 8: Because congress people like the power. They don't want to
• 16:52
  Speaker 8: give up the power of having only one of four
• 16:54
  Speaker 8: hundred and thirty five seats. Why why would I want
• 16:58
  Speaker 8: to be one of thirteen hundreds. That seems like I've
• 17:01
  Speaker 8: got less power than So when the Supreme Court ruled
• 17:07
  Speaker 8: this week that you don't have to have congressional districts
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: that are a majority minority, which is in and of
• 17:14
  Speaker 8: itself a Supreme Court anointed gerrymandering law. All these Southern
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: states can start doing. And Brian Kemp a lot of
• 17:23
  Speaker 8: people are like, oh, Brian Kemp isn't doing this because
• 17:25
  Speaker 8: Brian Kemp hates Trump.
• 17:26
  Speaker 3: And that may very well be.
• 17:28
  Speaker 8: Marjorie Taylor Green's still trying to get herself a seat
• 17:31
  Speaker 8: at the view dropping bombs on members of Congress, and
• 17:36
  Speaker 8: she says.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: Oh, I know he hates Trump.
• 17:38
  Speaker 8: I know a lot of people in Congress that don't
• 17:41
  Speaker 8: like Donald Trump's style, don't like Donald Trump's but you
• 17:44
  Speaker 8: know the ones who know his policies. Their problem a
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: lot of the never Trump or Republicans is they don't
• 17:52
  Speaker 8: want him to be successful on their policies, not because
• 17:56
  Speaker 8: they disagree with his policies, but they don't want him
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: to get credit for it, even though they've had decades
• 18:04
  Speaker 8: to take credit for it and do it themselves and
• 18:07
  Speaker 8: they hadn't and that makes them very mad. And don't
• 18:10
  Speaker 8: underestimate the high school locker room affect in Washington.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: The Washington DC is just high school with better clothes
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: and grayer hair. It really is.
• 18:26
  Speaker 8: I mean, the pettiness and the rivalries and all this
• 18:30
  Speaker 8: other stuff. These are people who never left high school.
• 18:34
  Speaker 8: It's still the mean girls versus the jocks and the
• 18:37
  Speaker 8: sportos and the and the nerds and the So Georgia
• 18:54
  Speaker 8: won't do redistricting, though they now have the opportunity to.
• 18:58
  Speaker 8: We were talking about this early. Alabama and Mississippi, Louisiana
• 19:05
  Speaker 8: all on with it. Florida is already most of the
• 19:08
  Speaker 8: way done with it. Marsha Blackburn wants Tennessee to jump
• 19:14
  Speaker 8: on the bandwagon. Virginia is still in the hands of
• 19:19
  Speaker 8: its Supreme Court.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: There was a.
• 19:23
  Speaker 8: Moment yesterday where people, I think misunderstood what was going
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: on with the state Board of Elections.
• 19:28
  Speaker 3: So there's a lot of people saying, oh, there's going
• 19:30
  Speaker 3: to be a decision today. That wasn't.
• 19:34
  Speaker 8: But that's good because I would like the jurists in
• 19:38
  Speaker 8: the Virginia Supreme Court to consider this. Georgia will not
• 19:46
  Speaker 8: do redistricting because early voting has started. Huh, that's funny.
• 19:52
  Speaker 8: I was just told in the filing by Virginia's Democrats
• 19:58
  Speaker 8: that early voting isn't voting. I was told early voting
• 20:03
  Speaker 8: is not early voting. Voting only happens when we count
• 20:10
  Speaker 8: your votes. But in Georgia, apparently, Governor Kemp says, voting
• 20:16
  Speaker 8: is voting. If you're walking into a polling place and
• 20:18
  Speaker 8: casting a ballot, we're voting. And I appreciate this because
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: I would like to enter this decision by the Georgia
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: governor into tangential evidence for the Supreme Court of Virginia
• 20:35
  Speaker 8: to consider as they weigh this decision, just because the
• 20:40
  Speaker 8: Democratic Party of Virginia does not view voting as voting.
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: Georgia does. South Carolina does that when you're going into
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: a polling place and you're casting a vote, go figure
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: you're actually voting.
• 21:00
  Speaker 3: Not in Virginia. Not, according to J.
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: Jones and the rest of the Virginia Democratic Caucus. Democratic
• 21:07
  Speaker 8: Party says, you know, oh, you just think you're voting.
• 21:10
  Speaker 8: You haven't really voted until we count it. That's a
• 21:13
  Speaker 8: dangerous thing. So I've handed you my ballot for forty
• 21:18
  Speaker 8: five days in Virginia. Can you sit on it and
• 21:20
  Speaker 8: decide do we want to keep it or not? Can
• 21:23
  Speaker 8: a basket of ballots show up right before the polls
• 21:26
  Speaker 8: close in Fairfax County and thirty thousand yes votes get
• 21:32
  Speaker 8: added to the mix. But I want to thank Georgia
• 21:43
  Speaker 8: for clarifying whether or not early voting is actually voting.
• 21:51
  Speaker 8: And if you want to get into this, we will

  Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas,
• 28:17
  Speaker 1: the Second Thomas.
• 28:21
  Speaker 23: Special.
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: I see it's the obscure little thing, so Terry writes
• 28:34
  Speaker 8: into four three four eight one eight A two four
• 28:38
  Speaker 8: two one seven. You are so right about Riba still
• 28:41
  Speaker 8: to this day, she's what one hundred and seven.
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: I don't know how old Reba McIntire is. I just
• 28:47
  Speaker 3: what is she?
• 28:48
  Speaker 8: She's doing this happiest place or something. She runs a
• 28:52
  Speaker 8: bar like that trope hasn't been used in sitcom land before, but.
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: It's just so.
• 29:00
  Speaker 8: It was an it was an old rerun of the
• 29:02
  Speaker 8: Reva Show, and I was just like, yeah, I forgot,
• 29:06
  Speaker 8: you know, you forget these things sometimes. But Georgia, we can,
• 29:09
  Speaker 8: we can delve into this proof and Jane says, I
• 29:14
  Speaker 8: will send it to my friend who does know one
• 29:18
  Speaker 8: of the Supreme Court justices in Virginia. Look at that,
• 29:21
  Speaker 8: Look at the wiki. That is first thing today by
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: Joe Thomas. We've got somebody who's got a friend who
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: has a friend. I know a guy's going to try
• 29:33
  Speaker 8: to get this story to the Virginia Supreme Court justice
• 29:36
  Speaker 8: that they know. I didn't ask which one? You don't ask,
• 29:39
  Speaker 8: You don't tell that you know. Governor Kemp in Georgia
• 29:44
  Speaker 8: South Carolina both saying we can't redistrict because voting has
• 29:48
  Speaker 8: already started. Huh See in Georgia. In South Carolina, they
• 29:54
  Speaker 8: say voting is when citizens go into a place to ballot.
• 30:01
  Speaker 8: The Virginia Democrats seem to think that, no, it's only
• 30:06
  Speaker 8: when we count your vote. Well, that seems a little elitist.
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: Number one, my vote doesn't become a vote until you
• 30:12
  Speaker 8: count it. There's an expression about you kissing a certain
• 30:18
  Speaker 8: part of my body that I would like to share
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: with you. But there's other things. If you want to
• 30:23
  Speaker 8: talk about that, we damn well straight can I want
• 30:26
  Speaker 8: to talk about black voter loyalty? CNN Datis chief Harry
• 30:35
  Speaker 8: Enton reported yesterday that President Trump and the Republican Party
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: are seeing a statistically significant rise in support amongst African Americans.
• 30:48
  Speaker 8: And this has been going on, I think since twenty sixteen. Nationwide,
• 30:56
  Speaker 8: the president has an approval rate. And this is going
• 30:58
  Speaker 8: to sound like a low number until you realize it
• 31:00
  Speaker 8: used to be for a Republican in the four or
• 31:03
  Speaker 8: five percent of the black voters. Now it's sixteen percent.
• 31:09
  Speaker 8: And Republicans can win without an extra twelve percent of
• 31:15
  Speaker 8: Black voters. Democrats can't if they lose twelve percent of
• 31:20
  Speaker 8: Black voters. Now, does that mean these majority minority congressional
• 31:29
  Speaker 8: districts going away is important. No, it doesn't guarantee a
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: darned thing. What it does, however, is it makes your
• 31:43
  Speaker 8: districts more likely to be representative of your communities. And
• 31:47
  Speaker 8: if your community is twenty five percent Black and twenty
• 31:51
  Speaker 8: percent Latino.
• 31:52
  Speaker 24: This is this is how we started. This was the
• 31:55
  Speaker 24: court's rule that Texas had two districts that didn't consider
• 31:59
  Speaker 24: the majority population Latino as the minority in question. I mean,
• 32:06
  Speaker 24: this gets into the craziness of the Voting Rights Act
• 32:09
  Speaker 24: because it said that a congressional district has to you know,
• 32:14
  Speaker 24: you have to have at least one district that is
• 32:17
  Speaker 24: a majority of the voters of a minority group, and
• 32:23
  Speaker 24: in Texas, that minority group was Latinos in a couple
• 32:26
  Speaker 24: of areas, not blacks, even though the districts were drawn
• 32:30
  Speaker 24: to This is who youse. Somebody texted earlier, I think
• 32:35
  Speaker 24: it was Steve and Virginia Beach texted the classic expression,
• 32:40
  Speaker 24: oh the tangled web we weave when we plackedice to deceive.
• 32:44
  Speaker 24: And the simplest answer at the time when the Voting
• 32:47
  Speaker 24: Rights Act was passed was to simply repeal the nineteen
• 32:52
  Speaker 24: twenty nine Act for permanent reapportionment.
• 32:55
  Speaker 8: Period full stop. But because Congress people can't be trusted
• 33:02
  Speaker 8: to give up power, they didn't do that.
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: So here we are.
• 33:12
  Speaker 8: In this crazy made place full of people who are
• 33:15
  Speaker 8: all looking for a little sum something for themselves, and
• 33:24
  Speaker 8: we can't get right answers because everyone's just out there
• 33:27
  Speaker 8: protecting their own little fiefdom. This is why we need
• 33:33
  Speaker 8: the Convention of States. This is why George Mason, you know,
• 33:37
  Speaker 8: is quickly although Sam Adams is still to me, and
• 33:40
  Speaker 8: maybe it's because I've actually broadcasted a good number of
• 33:44
  Speaker 8: this particular program from the right tavern in conquered Massachusetts.
• 33:54
  Speaker 8: Sam Adams has always been my personal favorite amongst the
• 33:57
  Speaker 8: founding fathers. But George Mason it just and never given
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: the run that Jefferson and Madison, and certainly George Washington.
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: I mean, George Mason was like a time traveler coming
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: back to seventeen eighty nine saying, Ah, I think we
• 34:15
  Speaker 8: need to make sure congressional districts stay small. I think
• 34:21
  Speaker 8: we need to give the citizens a way to amend
• 34:23
  Speaker 8: the Constitution, not just wait for politicians to do it.
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: Because here we are.
• 34:31
  Speaker 8: The Article five of the US Constitution, put in there
• 34:35
  Speaker 8: at the insistence of George Mason, is about the only
• 34:39
  Speaker 8: recourse I can see us having.
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: Because these.
• 34:43
  Speaker 8: Elected officials don't want to seed their own little power.
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: Oh my precious, oh my.
• 34:49
  Speaker 8: Precious Convention of States dot com, by the way, and
• 34:56
  Speaker 8: we could use it. We could use the Convention of States.
• 34:59
  Speaker 8: We'd have to call a Convention of States specifically to
• 35:02
  Speaker 8: address the nineteen twenty nine Act for Permanent reapportionment. But
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: I bet you right now, if I started today May second,
• 35:13
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty six, I could get a pretty good grap
• 35:18
  Speaker 8: on a popular support for this just off of this
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: program alone, I've heard from several activists in the redistricting
• 35:30
  Speaker 8: world saying, you're right, we need to get rid of
• 35:33
  Speaker 8: the nineteen twenty nine Act for permanent reapportionment. Yes, we
• 35:36
  Speaker 8: need a Congress that's more representative of the population. Yes,
• 35:40
  Speaker 8: our population has grown three times since nineteen thirty, but
• 35:45
  Speaker 8: our congressional representation hasn't, which means we're one third as
• 35:52
  Speaker 8: well represented as we should be. And even that failed
• 35:58
  Speaker 8: in comparison to what George Mason wanted. When George Mason
• 36:03
  Speaker 8: wrote the Bill of Rights, he said that, in order,
• 36:10
  Speaker 8: the most important thing, the first of the ten amendments,
• 36:14
  Speaker 8: first of the twelve amendments, the first one, most important
• 36:18
  Speaker 8: at George Mason's mind to protecting your liberty was a
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: Congress whose districts were no larger than fifty thousand people.
• 36:28
  Speaker 8: Look around you. I don't care how big of a
• 36:30
  Speaker 8: city it is. You could be living in ron Kanka
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: and New York or Charlottesville, Virginia, and fifty thousand people
• 36:38
  Speaker 8: in that that much New York mets or averaging thirty
• 36:44
  Speaker 8: six thousand people to watch them lose. I don't think
• 36:50
  Speaker 8: that's a sustainable number, but I mean you'll look at
• 36:53
  Speaker 8: the crowd at City Field in New York or at
• 36:56
  Speaker 8: the Yankee Stadium and say, you know what, that could
• 36:59
  Speaker 8: be a congressional district in and of itself. Don't tell
• 37:05
  Speaker 8: a politician that they'll want to create an electoral district around.
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: These stadiums.
• 37:15
  Speaker 8: I mean, that's the turnout at the Ohio State University
• 37:20
  Speaker 8: at the Horseshoe. That'd be two congressional districts Beaver Stadium
• 37:26
  Speaker 8: and State College.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: Two.
• 37:29
  Speaker 8: Almost on the way to three congressional districts just at
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: Beaver Stadium when Penn State is playing football. But I
• 37:40
  Speaker 8: think if we went out on the case for the
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: Permanent Reapportionment Act overturned in a conventional state style effort,
• 37:48
  Speaker 8: I think we could do it like that. I think
• 37:51
  Speaker 8: the case is halfway being made by the craziness over
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: redistricting as these parts of the Voting Rights Act start
• 37:58

  Speaker 16: recent Harris Pole survey conducted for the American Heart Association. However,

  Speaker 16: its risk factors. Efforts led by the American Heart Association

  Speaker 3: It's been a ton of met We put in time.
• 44:38
  Speaker 8: George Mason, time traveler time. Wait, if you think about
• 44:42
  Speaker 8: some of the things he insisted they put into the
• 44:44
  Speaker 8: US Constitution and the Bill Wrights as it was coming along,
• 44:47
  Speaker 8: It's like, you know, he flew out to twenty twenty
• 44:52
  Speaker 8: six and saw the things that were going wrong in
• 44:55
  Speaker 8: twenty twenty six and said, I better put in some
• 44:58
  Speaker 8: things here. Flew back and he said, well, we need
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: to have a way that the citizens can amend the
• 45:04
  Speaker 8: constitution regardless of what the politicians want, and we should
• 45:10
  Speaker 8: probably make sure districts don't get too big, too populous.
• 45:15
  Speaker 8: This text message from Jerry said, Joe, do you have
• 45:18
  Speaker 8: any idea how large Congress would be? And he sends
• 45:22
  Speaker 8: me a picture of Senator Palpatine and jar Jar Binks
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: about to create the Intergalactic Empire. Yeah, I guess what.
• 45:34
  Speaker 8: There are large representative bodies within the United States Without
• 45:40
  Speaker 8: the United States Parliament just had the King of England here,
• 45:44
  Speaker 8: you know, visiting Parliament has a much smaller per capita
• 45:50
  Speaker 8: representative in the House of Commons, the Kanesset, and those
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: comparisons are different because their constitutions are different. But if
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: it makes it harder to ramrod laws down because it's
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: harder for k Street to pay off your representatives, that's
• 46:16
  Speaker 8: a good thing. And if you think the United States
• 46:19
  Speaker 8: is too large to have a representative government, you're not alone.
• 46:24
  Speaker 8: Guys like Larry Sabado at the UVA Center for Politics.
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: You've probably seen him. He's the one they always talk
• 46:30
  Speaker 8: to about his crystal balls, the prognosticator, this guy who
• 46:36
  Speaker 8: thinks he knows of everything. I don't think he's been
• 46:38
  Speaker 8: right in a while. But I guess unless you define
• 46:44
  Speaker 8: right in a specific way with like one eye closed.
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: He wrote a whole book on it, he said.
• 46:52
  Speaker 8: It's titled I think it's titled The Case for the
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: New Constitution, and he talks about the United States is
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: too populous of a country to be led by democracy.
• 47:02
  Speaker 8: That's why we weren't led by a democracy, Larry. But
• 47:09
  Speaker 8: you know again, Jefferson warned us, it's easy to fall
• 47:13
  Speaker 8: into a comfort zone with the things that we've grown
• 47:16
  Speaker 8: comfortable to. The idea of more than four hundred and
• 47:19
  Speaker 8: thirty five members of the US as of Representatives is earthshaking,
• 47:23
  Speaker 8: the idea that a small town like Harris Harrisonburg, Virginia
• 47:27
  Speaker 8: could have two members of Congress representing it.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: But guess what. It stops all this. It stops all
• 47:35
  Speaker 3: this jerry mandering.
• 47:36
  Speaker 8: Oh, you still have district drawing, and you'll still have
• 47:39
  Speaker 8: pushes about well more people moved into.
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: This town in that town. But with districts, that's small
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: and compact. Easy pas, lemon, squeeze. Let me get to
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: you at four three, four eight eight two four two
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: one seven. Good morning, You're on the air with Joe
• 47:53
  Speaker 3: who's this, Hi, Joe, It's hi. Good morning, Kareem. Happy Saturday.
• 47:58
  Speaker 3: How are you doing, happy, Saray Joe.
• 48:01
  Speaker 26: I am doing well. I'm sitting in Harrisonburg. Just look
• 48:04
  Speaker 26: at the beautiful Blue Ridge Mountains on the horizon.
• 48:08
  Speaker 8: It does put it in perspective. You know, if you
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: go to Montpelier James Madison's home, that's what his study
• 48:16
  Speaker 8: looks out on the room where he sat and did
• 48:19
  Speaker 8: all of his research into the US Constitution, the framework
• 48:24
  Speaker 8: of it was done staring at the Blue Ridge Mountains.
• 48:27
  Speaker 8: Just saying anyway, I'm sure you called for more than
• 48:31
  Speaker 8: just a tourism nod, but thank you for that. What's
• 48:34
  Speaker 8: on your mind?
• 48:37
  Speaker 26: Well, going to what you've been talking about in espousing
• 48:40
  Speaker 26: for obviously, and I like that you continue to espouse
• 48:44
  Speaker 26: it about actually restricting the power of an individual congressman
• 48:51
  Speaker 26: by actually making Congress larger, which would I agree, reduce
• 48:55
  Speaker 26: government right now? You guess well, I'm not saying right now.
• 49:00
  Speaker 26: Twenty years ago last Moonia, the federal government US government
• 49:04
  Speaker 26: employed around four million people.
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: That's a huge number.
• 49:09
  Speaker 26: Yeah, And that's whether they're consistent or publical point and
• 49:12
  Speaker 26: the political appointees or just a fraction of a fraction
• 49:16
  Speaker 26: of that of the size.
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: But we can we can look at India. India is
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: their republic.
• 49:24
  Speaker 26: They're parliamentary republic, a billion and a half in growing
• 49:28
  Speaker 26: and their part. Now I don't agree with how they
• 49:30
  Speaker 26: do it. I like how they vote. They vote, they
• 49:34
  Speaker 26: make sure they take the voting booth to the person.
• 49:37
  Speaker 26: If the person lives on a mountain, they take the
• 49:38
  Speaker 26: voting booth up the mountain. But they only have seven
• 49:43
  Speaker 26: hundred and eighty eight members of their parliament for a
• 49:46
  Speaker 26: billion and.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: A half people.
• 49:48
  Speaker 26: And we in the US were saying, no, no, yeah, let's
• 49:50
  Speaker 26: keep it small like India because they're so well run.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: No, make it larger.
• 49:57
  Speaker 8: Well, and you look, and I always bring up the
• 50:00
  Speaker 8: example of New Hampshire. They have four hundred people just
• 50:03
  Speaker 8: in their state General Assembly, and the lights work, and
• 50:08
  Speaker 8: the roads get paved, and the police and the teachers
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: get paid. So government can function when you have a
• 50:15
  Speaker 8: small number of constituents for each representative. I brought up
• 50:19
  Speaker 8: the Knesset, Parliament, England's own representative body, the one we
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: sort of patterned ourselves after. They have much smaller parliamentary districts,
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: and so it does work. This idea that four hundred
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: and thirty five is some it was written. It was
• 50:40
  Speaker 8: actually scribbled on the back of the stone tablet that
• 50:44
  Speaker 8: Moses brought down from the mountain. I mean, that's what
• 50:47
  Speaker 8: they want you to believe that because you've grown up
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: in a world where it's been four thirty five. But
• 50:53
  Speaker 8: my grandparents didn't grow up in a world where it
• 50:56
  Speaker 8: was four thirty five. So I know, people, you're not
• 50:58
  Speaker 8: that far removed from people who were alive before nineteen
• 51:02
  Speaker 8: twenty nine when they cap the size of the house, and.
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: They did it for racist reasons.
• 51:08
  Speaker 8: So how is it the party that supposedly is against
• 51:11
  Speaker 8: racism is supporting the idea of keeping Congress the way
• 51:15
  Speaker 8: it is. You know, I have to call them out
• 51:18
  Speaker 8: on the lie of saying that they're anti racist.
• 51:23
  Speaker 3: Joe, I agree with you. That's disappointing. Gosh.
• 51:28
  Speaker 8: See, this is like the debates I used to have
• 51:30
  Speaker 8: with my mother. Is she would come down ready to argue,
• 51:33
  Speaker 8: spoiling for a fight, and I'd agree with her, and
• 51:35
  Speaker 8: she'd get more mad at me because I agreed with
• 51:38
  Speaker 8: her than not because it said no, you can't, okay, Mom,
• 51:42
  Speaker 8: I'll take the other side if you insist.
• 51:46
  Speaker 26: I'll throw this poison pill in there before and again
• 51:49
  Speaker 26: I'll leave before you have to close up your show
• 51:52
  Speaker 26: when you have a When states get together next time,
• 51:57
  Speaker 26: it will be the first time. But whenever they get
• 51:58
  Speaker 26: together and write a new ADMIN or new constitution or
• 52:01
  Speaker 26: whatever you want to call it, there will be freedoms.
• 52:05
  Speaker 26: I think that we will lose that we hold dearly
• 52:07
  Speaker 26: inteching for granted. Now one of those is even before
• 52:11
  Speaker 26: they even meet. There is a push to make sure
• 52:14
  Speaker 26: that podcasters and people posting online can you'll be more
• 52:20
  Speaker 26: liable for what they say, even though what they say
• 52:23
  Speaker 26: eventually gets born out is true like Trump and.
• 52:25
  Speaker 3: As truth tweets. Well, that's it.
• 52:28
  Speaker 26: I look at Charlie Quirk, bless his soul for a
• 52:32
  Speaker 26: segment he made. Hate speech does not exist legally in America.
• 52:35
  Speaker 26: There's ugly speech, there's gross speech, there's evil speech.
• 52:38
  Speaker 3: And all of it is protected by the First Amendment.
• 52:41
  Speaker 8: Well, and with that, we have to wrap up our
• 52:44
  Speaker 8: festivities at Kareem. Thank you sir, and thank you all
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: for listening until next week.
• 52:49
  Speaker 3: So long, and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 16: Much of neck and spinal pain is caused by the
• 52:53
  Speaker 16: compression of spinal nerves. According to doctor Jeff Fisher, an Irvine,
• 52:57
  Speaker 16: California based chiropractor with more than three years of experience,
• 53:01
  Speaker 16: this compression can stem from a chronic condition, acute injury,
• 53:05
  Speaker 16: or simply aging. Traction is the most effective way to relax, stretch,
• 53:09
  Speaker 16: and decompress the spine and surrounding muscles and ligaments of
• 53:12
  Speaker 16: the neck and back. Doctor Fisher explains his inventions. The
• 53:16
  Speaker 16: Fisher Traction Neck Device and Fisher Traction Low Back Device
• 53:20
  Speaker 16: safely separates bones to eliminate pain and restore function so
• 53:24
  Speaker 16: the body can heal naturally. The Fisher Traction devices are
• 53:27
  Speaker 16: designed to restore the natural curves of the neck and
• 53:30
  Speaker 16: back and gently induce hydration and motion into the spine
• 53:33
  Speaker 16: with the use of a release strap. The devices are
• 53:36
  Speaker 16: convenient and easy to use in the comfort of your home,
• 53:38
  Speaker 16: and doctor Fisher's series of YouTube videos provides helpful videos
