  Speaker 2: Joe.
• 0:43
  Speaker 6: God bless you for letting us be of service to
• 0:45
  Speaker 6: you this morning. Coming to you live, well, I mean,
• 0:51
  Speaker 6: that's the most ridiculous statement in radio, isn't it coming
• 0:54
  Speaker 6: to you live as opposed to the other ways coming
• 0:57
  Speaker 6: to you from the world. At least One of the
• 1:02
  Speaker 6: biggest civil rights rallies annually held in the United States,
• 1:07
  Speaker 6: it is Lobby Day with the well a coalition of
• 1:10
  Speaker 6: gun groups Second Amendment Defenders, all spearheaded by the Virginia
• 1:15
  Speaker 6: Citizens Defense League, Gun Owners of America NRA, all partnering
• 1:20
  Speaker 6: up for a Second Amendment rally, as happens every year
• 1:23
  Speaker 6: on Martin Luther King Junior Day here in the Government
• 1:27
  Speaker 6: of Virginia, as we watch gun grabs going on all
• 1:30
  Speaker 6: across the country as the nations what is it nineteen
• 1:35
  Speaker 6: nineteen states that have part time legislatures, Most of them
• 1:38
  Speaker 6: have convened, some of them will be convening in the
• 1:40
  Speaker 6: next week or two. And they all seem to be
• 1:44
  Speaker 6: hell bent on taking away your guns while and this
• 1:48
  Speaker 6: is so fascinating to be while telling you that Trump
• 1:51
  Speaker 6: is an authoritarian thug who's out there to take away
• 1:55
  Speaker 6: your rights. Wouldn't this be exactly the time that the
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: left should be rallying to the very essence of the
• 2:03
  Speaker 6: Second Amendment. I mean to me, this is exactly why
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: if and this is a big if, if the left
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: wing believes what they say, and it's not just anything
• 2:18
  Speaker 6: Trump wants we have to oppose, which is, by the way,
• 2:22
  Speaker 6: what I truly think is the case. But I want
• 2:25
  Speaker 6: to call out the hypocrisy, the hip cats. Oh I
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: like that. Let's call every Democrat a hip cat. Now,
• 2:36
  Speaker 6: the hip cats as in hypocrites. The hip cats all
• 2:42
  Speaker 6: are insisting that Trump is some authoritarian goon. Well, if
• 2:48
  Speaker 6: that's the case, that's exactly what the Second Amendment was
• 2:51
  Speaker 6: there to protect you against, isn't it. If you really
• 2:56
  Speaker 6: believe this, and believe me, I will ask this of
• 2:59
  Speaker 6: every questquote unquote conservative that says he believes in the
• 3:04
  Speaker 6: Second Amendment. But then you know, when our country liberates
• 3:08
  Speaker 6: some other country, we take away their guns somehow that
• 3:13
  Speaker 6: that's supposed to help. As we watched the former, was
• 3:17
  Speaker 6: it the Interior Secretary of Venezuela conduct to his collectivos?
• 3:24
  Speaker 6: Hold on anyway? Special presentation today of first thing today
• 3:28
  Speaker 6: by Joe Thomas, coming to you from Israeli. I'm one
• 3:31
  Speaker 6: of the keynote speakers at today's rallies going on here
• 3:35
  Speaker 6: in front of the Virginia Capital, the longest continuously operating
• 3:40
  Speaker 6: elected representative body in the world, been voting on stuff
• 3:45
  Speaker 6: at behalf of the constituents since sixteen nineteen. And I
• 3:51
  Speaker 6: was there for the four hundredth anniversary, and we'll be
• 3:53
  Speaker 6: here for this as well. Brought to you by Big
• 3:55
  Speaker 6: Ridge Guns and Archery Big Ridge Guns Dot. We must
• 4:02
  Speaker 6: lay out our first things for you this morning, you
• 4:04
  Speaker 6: and how we roll. We'll tell you what went on
• 4:06
  Speaker 6: and then we'll give you our analysis of it, but
• 4:08
  Speaker 6: mostly I'll want to hear how it's impacting you where
• 4:11
  Speaker 6: you are. Hackers disrupted Iranian state television transmission over the
• 4:17
  Speaker 6: weekend to air footage of the exiled Crown Prince Raisa
• 4:22
  Speaker 6: Pallavi calling on security voices forces to quote point your weapons,
• 4:28
  Speaker 6: to not point your weapons at the people. Online video
• 4:32
  Speaker 6: early Monday, recorded over the weekend, actually in programming that
• 4:37
  Speaker 6: friends of Mine at America's Roundtable put out nationwide here
• 4:41
  Speaker 6: in the United States, and we'll get some clips of
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Pallavi's address there for you coming up online video sent
• 4:49
  Speaker 6: over Iranian state television, hacked in like a scene from
• 4:53
  Speaker 6: the original Running Man movie. The death toll from the
• 4:57
  Speaker 6: Crackdown reaches nearly four thousand officially. Unofficial numbers say the
• 5:04
  Speaker 6: numbers could be higher and closer to twelve or thirteen thousand.
• 5:09
  Speaker 6: US Department of Justice said Sunday it's investigating a group
• 5:12
  Speaker 6: of protesters who disrupted services at a Minnesota a church
• 5:17
  Speaker 6: where a local official with US Immigration and Customs Enforcement
• 5:21
  Speaker 6: serves as a pastor. The disruption and invasion was live
• 5:26
  Speaker 6: streamed on a Facebook page owned by Black Lives Matter
• 5:29
  Speaker 6: of Minnesota, one of the organizers. The Supreme Court is
• 5:33
  Speaker 6: weighing a landmark decision on President Trump's authority to impose
• 5:37
  Speaker 6: tariffs to rebalance global trade and serve US national security interest.
• 5:43
  Speaker 6: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessen was on Meet the Press on
• 5:47
  Speaker 6: Sunday and said I believe that it was unlikely the
• 5:50
  Speaker 6: Supreme Court will overrule the president's signare economic policy. Meanwhile,
• 5:56
  Speaker 6: speaking of tariff's, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer said this
• 5:59
  Speaker 6: more a US. President. Trump's threat of tariffs against allies
• 6:04
  Speaker 6: over Greenland is completely wrong. Trump said Saturday he would
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: charge an additional ten percent import tax starting in February
• 6:12
  Speaker 6: on goods from eight European nations if they stand in
• 6:16
  Speaker 6: the way of whatever it is that he wants to
• 6:20
  Speaker 6: do in Greenland. The Pentagon ordered fifteen hundred active duties
• 6:27
  Speaker 6: soldiers in Alaska to prepare for a possible deployment to
• 6:30
  Speaker 6: Minnesota in the wake of those church protests yesterday, and
• 6:37
  Speaker 6: Senator Ran Paul Sunday pushed back against the President's position
• 6:40
  Speaker 6: on those tariffs, insisting that there is no emergency that
• 6:44
  Speaker 6: would make them move necessary. The Kentucky Republican was also
• 6:49
  Speaker 6: on Meet the Press, along with Virginia Senator Tim Kaine,
• 6:53
  Speaker 6: who have filed legislation to block that action from taking place.
• 6:59
  Speaker 6: And though there are some of our first.
• 7:01
  Speaker 7: Thing, you know, a lot of times you have to
• 7:02
  Speaker 7: choose between something high quality or something that saves you money.
• 7:07
  Speaker 7: But what if you could get both?
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 7:09
  Speaker 7: Especially when it comes to healthcare, and.
• 7:11
  Speaker 6: That is meta share.
• 7:13
  Speaker 4: You get both.
• 7:14
  Speaker 7: Many families save five hundred bucks a month with meta
• 7:17
  Speaker 7: share and that's huge. But it's also true that people
• 7:19
  Speaker 7: wind up way more satisfied too, and we know this
• 7:22
  Speaker 7: from research of members. There's a lot they like about
• 7:25
  Speaker 7: meta Share, but especially they love being part of something
• 7:28
  Speaker 7: they believe in. And meta share works too. It has
• 7:31
  Speaker 7: for more than thirty years. There are hundreds of thousands
• 7:35
  Speaker 7: of members who love having telehealth if they need it.
• 7:38
  Speaker 7: They love the huge Ppo network. You could save a
• 7:40
  Speaker 7: ton and like it better. Imagine being happy with how
• 7:44
  Speaker 7: you're taking care of your health care. So if you're
• 7:46
  Speaker 7: self employed, or you're part of the gig economy, or
• 7:48
  Speaker 7: you just want a plan you're happy with, you can
• 7:50
  Speaker 7: call right now and get a price in two minutes.
• 7:52
  Speaker 7: Here's the number.
• 7:53
  Speaker 6: Call eight five five share forty.
• 7:55
  Speaker 7: That's eight five five share forty, eight five five share forty.
• 8:04
  Speaker 8: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 8: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 8: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

  Speaker 10: Hiryboddy, I'm Jack and it's always a boy. Growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 10: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 10: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
• 10:09
  Speaker 10: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
• 10:12
  Speaker 10: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
• 10:15
  Speaker 10: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
• 10:18
  Speaker 10: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
• 10:21
  Speaker 10: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 10: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 10: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 10: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
• 10:38
  Speaker 10: from PTSS. They work with diabetics alerting them when there's
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
• 10:44
  Speaker 10: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: help those in need. So please join me an American

• 11:05
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 8: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 8: art and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 6: Who's with me?

  Speaker 11: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:15
  Speaker 11: brain is saying when it's time to go home. Somebody

• 13:18
  Speaker 2: thing today by Joe Thomas on the Top Media.
• 13:27
  Speaker 17: Boy, you fellow man, we're not good with anybody. Shop
• 13:40
  Speaker 17: the lies, the promise Land where everything cose Eason.
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: You just told U.
• 13:50
  Speaker 6: I said this the other day. Now I understand it's uh.
• 13:54
  Speaker 6: And I've made this case before to you, and I
• 13:57
  Speaker 6: stand before the jury of my peers and again testify
• 14:01
  Speaker 6: that we aren't facing a new civil war. You've heard
• 14:06
  Speaker 6: that probably for the last twelve months. Some pundon somewhere
• 14:10
  Speaker 6: is talking about, Oh hello, I feel like we're coming
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: to the new civil war. I can see out of
• 14:17
  Speaker 6: my window right now of the on location studios. We
• 14:20
  Speaker 6: are in the capital of the Confederacy. I can look
• 14:24
  Speaker 6: at the Virginia Capitol Building where a whole other country
• 14:29
  Speaker 6: convened its government for a bunch of months. And I
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: can tell you this with some grave authority here coming
• 14:37
  Speaker 6: to you from our flagship state of the Commonwealth of Virginia.
• 14:41
  Speaker 6: We're not facing a new civil war. We're facing a
• 14:48
  Speaker 6: reconflagration of the last one. And the players are still
• 14:54
  Speaker 6: the same, the teams are still the same. If the
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: New England Patriots faced the Seattle Seahawks and the Super
• 15:04
  Speaker 6: Bowl sure, Tom Brady and Russell Wilson are gone, but
• 15:10
  Speaker 6: the teams are the same. The Democrats want a permanent
• 15:16
  Speaker 6: underclass of servants, and they will go to war to
• 15:20
  Speaker 6: defend the idea of having a permanent underclass of brown
• 15:23
  Speaker 6: people to act as servants to the elites, and the
• 15:31
  Speaker 6: Republicans are standing against it. It's just it. Really. It
• 15:38
  Speaker 6: didn't strike me until a lot of these indivisible protests
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: started and I realized these are the same people politically
• 15:46
  Speaker 6: and intellectually that wanted to keep slavery, that would go
• 15:50
  Speaker 6: to war over slavery. Now the North went to war
• 15:55
  Speaker 6: over lost tax revenue. That's a whole other discussion. And
• 16:00
  Speaker 6: of course your results may vary, and I don't blame you.
• 16:03
  Speaker 6: I don't blame you sitting there saying what the beam
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: is this guy talking about? Especially you folks in Altoona
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: and on Long Island who are getting us because it's
• 16:13
  Speaker 6: a holiday, and you're like, hall of it? Is this thing?
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: Is this thing live? Is this the guy I hear
• 16:18
  Speaker 6: on Saturday morning? For you in Lowell, Massachusetts, you might
• 16:24
  Speaker 6: be sitting in there saying, what is this guy drinking
• 16:28
  Speaker 6: at this hour? Because it is so completely off the beam. Nobody,
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: Mark Levy, none of the pundits, Tucker Carlson, none of
• 16:41
  Speaker 6: my brethren. And sister Tom Hartman. Tom Hartman's one of
• 16:44
  Speaker 6: the great left wing talk show host who's out there
• 16:50
  Speaker 6: saying we're facing another civil war. Man, he'll be up
• 16:55
  Speaker 6: later today on our affiliate in Youngstown. Yeah, stationed. They
• 17:00
  Speaker 6: don't explode into flames. We're not facing a new civil war.
• 17:09
  Speaker 6: And now it makes sense why twenty fifteen and twenty
• 17:12
  Speaker 6: sixteen and twenty seventeen were consumed by the idea of
• 17:16
  Speaker 6: taking down Civil War monuments. Our flagship city of Charlottesville,
• 17:21
  Speaker 6: Virginia was the capital of taking down all memorials and
• 17:26
  Speaker 6: commemorations to the Civil War that was combated in the
• 17:30
  Speaker 6: nineteenth century. And you know, like a wildfire in southern
• 17:39
  Speaker 6: California with a pathologies for to our friends on k
• 17:42
  Speaker 6: met in San Bernardino, like a wildfire in the hills
• 17:48
  Speaker 6: of southern California. By the mid twenty first century, the
• 17:53
  Speaker 6: first couple of years of it, the Santa Anna is
• 17:55
  Speaker 6: kicked up again. And as long as you don't pay
• 17:58
  Speaker 6: any attention to the fact that it's the same teams
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: pitching for the same idea, which is a permanent, brown
• 18:07
  Speaker 6: skinned underclass of people who have no recourse other than
• 18:14
  Speaker 6: servitude to the elite whites. And like Abraham Lincoln and
• 18:24
  Speaker 6: the Republicans of the nineteenth century, here you and I
• 18:28
  Speaker 6: are standing in the abyss wondering what the beep is
• 18:32
  Speaker 6: going on. The winds have kicked up. We didn't sufficiently
• 18:39
  Speaker 6: extinguish the flames we thought we put out. You know,
• 18:43
  Speaker 6: Lee and Grant, they're an Appomattox Virginia. I can drive
• 18:50
  Speaker 6: in an hour to be an Appomatos Virginia and broadcast
• 18:53
  Speaker 6: live from the courthouse where they signed the deal. They said,
• 18:56
  Speaker 6: that's it, We're done. But the fire wasn't extinguished. I
• 19:04
  Speaker 6: have a fire pit out behind my house, and I know,
• 19:07
  Speaker 6: in terms of political analogies, you don't hear a lot
• 19:10
  Speaker 6: of people talk about the fire pit behind their house.
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: But if I don't sufficiently put out the embers, when
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: my wife and I go in for the evening, the
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: winds will kick up here in central Virginia, and the
• 19:23
  Speaker 6: next thing you know, my wife will be back out
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: there half an hour later because there's flames in the
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: fire pit unattended. And that's what's happening here. It's not
• 19:33
  Speaker 6: a new civil war, it's the same old one. Do
• 19:36
  Speaker 6: we have the clip we opened the show with. This
• 19:39
  Speaker 6: is an ice officer in Minnesota as protesters, not unlike
• 19:47
  Speaker 6: the young lady from Old Dominon University who got herself
• 19:50
  Speaker 6: shot by trying to drive over an ice officer. We're
• 19:56
  Speaker 6: in the streets honking to warn people that ice was coming.
• 20:04
  Speaker 1: We're here to arrest a child sex offendant. And you
• 20:09
  Speaker 1: guys out here honky and in keeping our investigations while
• 20:12
  Speaker 1: we're trying to arrest a child sex offendant. That's who
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: you guys are protecting.
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: Guy was in court here in Virginia just last week,
• 20:28
  Speaker 6: got a sixteen year old girl quote so drunk she
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: couldn't stand, And while she wasn't standing, they did unspeakable
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: things to her many times. So in their zeal to
• 20:43
  Speaker 6: have a permanent underclass of brown skinned people to work
• 20:48
  Speaker 6: in service to the elites who just liked their forebearers
• 20:55
  Speaker 6: of the nineteenth century, consider themselves doing a kindness to
• 21:03
  Speaker 6: those who are incapable of taking care of themselves. We
• 21:07
  Speaker 6: will give them work, we will give them purpose, we
• 21:10
  Speaker 6: will give them things to do for us. Because my
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Homeowners' Association insists my grasp be cut to a certain level.
• 21:19
  Speaker 6: But the slave owners of the nineteenth century believed they
• 21:23
  Speaker 6: were doing a kindness for a for an inferior race
• 21:28
  Speaker 6: of people, and that's what the elite leftists are doing today.
• 21:33
  Speaker 6: Same political party, same agenda, same battle lines. That's why
• 21:42
  Speaker 6: they wanted us taking down all of our Civil War
• 21:45
  Speaker 6: memorials in the twenty seventeens and twenty eighteens. That's why
• 21:49
  Speaker 6: they wanted them melted down and turned into statues of
• 21:52
  Speaker 6: extended middle fingers, because they wanted us to forget what
• 21:56
  Speaker 6: the original Civil War was about so they could have
• 21:59
  Speaker 6: a new one, the same one.

  Speaker 5: This is where the DJ talks.
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: Don't say anything.
• 28:20
  Speaker 6: Okay, thank you for joining us this morning, live from Richmond,
• 28:26
  Speaker 6: Virginia for the largest civil rights rally in the least
• 28:32
  Speaker 6: part of the United States.
• 28:34
  Speaker 4: Good day, Welcome to our singer.
• 28:36
  Speaker 14: I'm Bob Mackenzie and this is my brother Doug.
• 28:39
  Speaker 12: I've been going a.
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: Beauty and by civil rights, I mean Second Amendment rights.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: It's the beauty window.
• 28:55
  Speaker 6: Decent say your name, yeah yeah. So up in the
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: Great White North, we have a master class in what
• 29:01
  Speaker 6: the echo chamber looks like and how the echo chamber operates.
• 29:06
  Speaker 6: And I'll get to you on the phones in a second.
• 29:08
  Speaker 6: But the echo chamber and blessed Donald Trump. Of all
• 29:12
  Speaker 6: the things in all of Christendom, I wish Donald Trump
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: could do better is not answer stupid questions. So when
• 29:21
  Speaker 6: a reporter says, if you can't cut a deal for Greenland,
• 29:25
  Speaker 6: would you invade He's like, well, I mean it can
• 29:28
  Speaker 6: be on the table, and the headlines for the next
• 29:31
  Speaker 6: month become Trump to invade Greenland, to the point where
• 29:35
  Speaker 6: you've got members of Congress, like Virginia's Senator Tim Kaine
• 29:40
  Speaker 6: in acting legislation to stop him from doing something he's
• 29:43
  Speaker 6: never said he was going to do. It was all
• 29:46
  Speaker 6: based on a stupid premise by a stupid reporter. And
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: as I want to know, at some point, Donald Trump
• 29:54
  Speaker 6: is going to publish a memoir and I hope that
• 29:57
  Speaker 6: a chapter and it will be addressing why do you
• 30:01
  Speaker 6: answer these stupid questions? Why don't you just say that's
• 30:05
  Speaker 6: a stupid question, or I disagree with the premise of
• 30:12
  Speaker 6: your question, whatever it may be, however you want to
• 30:14
  Speaker 6: phrase it. But he answers these things, and it pours
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: the gasoline onto these fires that have you know, people
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: like Tim Kaine and Mike Turner out on Face the
• 30:27
  Speaker 6: Music or whatever it was on Sunday in front of
• 30:31
  Speaker 6: their dozens upon dozens of viewers saying we need to
• 30:35
  Speaker 6: stop if it's wrong to use it's not a national
• 30:38
  Speaker 6: security issue. Nobody ever said it is, first off, a
• 30:42
  Speaker 6: national security issue. Mark Warner, the vice chair of the
• 30:46
  Speaker 6: Intel Committee. Another one of our fine Virginia representatives was
• 30:50
  Speaker 6: on another one of the shows saying Russia poses no
• 30:55
  Speaker 6: threat to Greenland, China. That's not who we're talking about,
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: Russia being a threat to you. Netwitz. Oh my god,
• 31:04
  Speaker 6: it's just I love the smell of face palm in
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: the morning, and boy, these people provided just tons of
• 31:10
  Speaker 6: it this weekend. And maybe President Trump does it specifically
• 31:14
  Speaker 6: detrol these people. Like I said, I hope Donald Trump
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: publishes a memoir after his term in office is done
• 31:22
  Speaker 6: where he explains why he didn't just say I don't
• 31:25
  Speaker 6: accept the premise of your question. Next nobody know, Just
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: say nobody has said anything about that. Next and call
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: on someone else, please, because it consumes a lot of
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: what we could be talking about here, you know, trying
• 31:43
  Speaker 6: to put up some sound dampening equipment around this stupid
• 31:46
  Speaker 6: echo chamber. In any event, Uh, it just it's frustrating
• 31:52
  Speaker 6: for me. Let me see what's happening with you On
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: the program that tells you what went on last night,
• 31:57
  Speaker 6: it also wants to find out how it's impacting you.
• 32:00
  Speaker 6: This special broadcast from the Virginia Citizens Defense League and
• 32:04
  Speaker 6: Gun Owners of America and NRA Second Amendment Rally brought
• 32:08
  Speaker 6: to you by Big Ridge Guns and Archery big Ridgeguns
• 32:13
  Speaker 6: dot Com check them out online. Good morning. Who's this, Joe?
• 32:17
  Speaker 13: It's Clark.
• 32:18
  Speaker 6: Good morning, doctor Clark. How are you, sir?
• 32:21
  Speaker 22: When I'm all good, Joe, think twice if you're not
• 32:25
  Speaker 22: allowed to talk about this. But they said, y'all have
• 32:28
  Speaker 22: got to click hills and say hal s Bamberger when
• 32:31
  Speaker 22: you start conversations.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Uh, I mean she's she's sleeping, you know, not two
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: hundred yards from where I'm sitting right now. I mean
• 32:41
  Speaker 6: I'm in the Virginia General Assembly offices. So if she's
• 32:44
  Speaker 6: got a problem with us, we'll hear the connection drop
• 32:47
  Speaker 6: pretty soon. But I have my backups so if it
• 32:50
  Speaker 6: does drop, I can be on my own custom brewed
• 32:54
  Speaker 6: homemade internet connections to the Mumford te firefly fuck it
• 32:59
  Speaker 6: from the God Antennae because they can't shut off my internet.
• 33:02
  Speaker 6: I'm not in Tehran, although I don't have Skylink either Starlink.
• 33:07
  Speaker 6: But anyway, so you know, we don't have to say.
• 33:09
  Speaker 6: But yo, gosh, you know I made the comment. You
• 33:12
  Speaker 6: want to you want to make somebody look stupid. She
• 33:14
  Speaker 6: made me look stupid before she had been governor for
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: an hour that first executive order canceling Virginia's law enforcement
• 33:23
  Speaker 6: connection to ICE. I guess she's not running for president.
• 33:26
  Speaker 6: She's just got her full on left wing aoc on
• 33:29
  Speaker 6: like from the drop of the green flag.
• 33:33
  Speaker 22: So that's real simple, all of her executive orders. You
• 33:36
  Speaker 22: get a probate judge in a county courthouse to do
• 33:40
  Speaker 22: an injunction, and so she can't do it.
• 33:43
  Speaker 6: Well, that's what you have to do when when people
• 33:45
  Speaker 6: impede your rights, you have to take it to court.
• 33:48
  Speaker 6: I mean, that's what I said after the election. We
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: need to fundraise for these pro bono law firms like
• 33:54
  Speaker 6: Founding Freedom's Legal Center to make sure that all these folks,
• 33:59
  Speaker 6: the Virginia Citizens Defense League has a huge legal team
• 34:03
  Speaker 6: ready to defend your Second Amendment rights if if need be,
• 34:07
  Speaker 6: all the way to the Supreme Court. Because it's a
• 34:09
  Speaker 6: shame we have to, but we do sometimes.
• 34:14
  Speaker 22: So I saw a comedian doing a bit the other
• 34:20
  Speaker 22: day and he alluded to the fact that none of
• 34:25
  Speaker 22: the immigrants that ICE was after, the illegals that ICE
• 34:30
  Speaker 22: was after, if the things were reversed, would be fighting
• 34:37
  Speaker 22: to keep the awfuls from being deported, And I got
• 34:45
  Speaker 22: to thinking about that, Joe. You know, we can find
• 34:51
  Speaker 22: a place that will take Ms thirteen gang numbers. We
• 34:57
  Speaker 22: can deport them somewhere. We can send trendi Agua to
• 35:01
  Speaker 22: hunger in prison. Where would we send the nosering blue
• 35:09
  Speaker 22: haired females if we wanted to support them, It wouldn't work.
• 35:14
  Speaker 22: There's nowhere we could send them.
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: Oh my goodness, no one would want them. You say,
• 35:19
  Speaker 6: there's no getmos.
• 35:22
  Speaker 22: We could not pray somebody enough to take them.
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: But bless their little hearts, they truly believe this stuff.
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: And what's really said is how devoid of meaning people's
• 35:35
  Speaker 6: lives have become that they're inserting this. And on Martin
• 35:38
  Speaker 6: Luther King Junior Day, there are going to be marches
• 35:42
  Speaker 6: all around the country, probably incounter protests. To me and
• 35:45
  Speaker 6: the rest of the speakers at this vcdl rally in
• 35:48
  Speaker 6: Richmond today, out there thinking that they're marching for civil
• 35:52
  Speaker 6: rights like Martin Luther King Junior did, When what they're
• 35:56
  Speaker 6: doing is marching. How would I phrase it? Back in
• 36:00
  Speaker 6: the day? Hands off my handouts. They're looking at government
• 36:05
  Speaker 6: goodies as a civil right now, and that's the sad,
• 36:10
  Speaker 6: deplorable thing that has happened to them.
• 36:13
  Speaker 22: Well since they were two years old. They have been
• 36:18
  Speaker 22: targeted yeap, and whatever meaning their life should have has
• 36:25
  Speaker 22: been removed. So this meaning for their life could be inserted.
• 36:32
  Speaker 6: But you know what, I watch how quickly Turning Point
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: USA was able to turn college kids out. And this
• 36:39
  Speaker 6: is I think what infuriated people about Charlie Kirk and
• 36:41
  Speaker 6: his organization is after fifteen years of that very indoctrination
• 36:47
  Speaker 6: you were talking about, Clark exposed to Socratic thought and
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: simple digestion of realities seen around them and observed they
• 36:58
  Speaker 6: would flip almost immediately. And I think that's infuriating to
• 37:03
  Speaker 6: the left is after all this work, ooh, they're like
• 37:06
  Speaker 6: wildy coyote. After all the anvils ordered from ACME, for
• 37:10
  Speaker 6: all the missiles, the road runner still gets away.
• 37:15
  Speaker 22: So it is infuriating. There's put a lot of work
• 37:17
  Speaker 22: into that. But let's take this half the second. Why
• 37:23
  Speaker 22: do they flip so quickly, Joe? Why does it the
• 37:26
  Speaker 22: indoctrination hold when it's countered with.
• 37:30
  Speaker 6: Logic, because it's based in nonsense. Yes, I won, I won.
• 37:37
  Speaker 6: I didn't bring my bell with me to my own
• 37:39
  Speaker 6: location with so I don't have my.
• 37:41
  Speaker 22: Darn't it any Any religion or philosophy that will not
• 37:47
  Speaker 22: tolerate any questions knows, it has no basis in fact
• 37:56
  Speaker 22: or logic, yep or truth, and it knows.
• 38:01
  Speaker 11: According to a new report from Discovery Education, ninety two
• 38:05
  Speaker 11: percent of students say that engaging lessons make school more fun,
• 38:08
  Speaker 11: and more than ninety percent of educators said engagement is
• 38:11
  Speaker 11: critical for student achievement. Student engagement is essential for learning,
• 38:15
  Speaker 11: but gaps remain about how to achieve, measure and sustain
• 38:19
  Speaker 11: student's interest in the classroom. Although sixty three percent of
• 38:22
  Speaker 11: students agreed that students are highly engaged in school, only
• 38:26
  Speaker 11: forty five percent of teachers and fifty one percent of
• 38:29
  Speaker 11: principles surveyed agreed with the same statement. Educators disagreed on
• 38:33
  Speaker 11: the top indicators of engagement. Seventy two percent of teachers
• 38:37
  Speaker 11: said asking thoughtful questions was the strongest indicator of student engagement,
• 38:41
  Speaker 11: while fifty four percent of superintendents rate performing well on
• 38:45
  Speaker 11: assessments as a top engagement indicator. Also, two thirds of
• 38:49
  Speaker 11: students said they believed that AI could help them learn faster,
• 38:52
  Speaker 11: yet fewer than half of teachers report using AI themselves
• 38:55
  Speaker 11: to complete tasks. Visit Discovery Education dot com to learn

  Speaker 19: You were strolling along in Goodwill. When just past that
• 40:06
  Speaker 19: mid century side table and denim jacket, you spotted them
• 40:09
  Speaker 19: nestled in their display case. Miniature donut earrings. Oh yes, yes,
• 40:17
  Speaker 19: your favorite half breakfast pastry, half all day dessert food
• 40:20
  Speaker 19: made into your favorite form of ear candy. Oh my,
• 40:24
  Speaker 19: those bejeweled sprinkles have satisfied some unknown hunger within you.

  Speaker 12: Exercise is hard. Was maintaining a healthy diet. Of course,
• 41:03
  Speaker 12: neither is half as hard as dying. Sadly, type two diabetes,
• 41:08
  Speaker 12: heart disease, and stroke kill nearly a million people a year.
• 41:12
  Speaker 12: Even sadder, most of these deaths are preventable with a
• 41:15
  Speaker 12: few lifestyle changes, including regular activity, healthier eating, and not smoking.
• 41:22
  Speaker 12: Talk to your doctor about your risk for type two
• 41:24
  Speaker 12: diabetes and heart disease, and if your doctor recommends lifestyle
• 41:28
  Speaker 12: changes or medication, listen. The reason so many die is
• 41:33
  Speaker 12: because not enough are willing to change. You can stop
• 41:36
  Speaker 12: it starting right now. It's your life. Listen to your doctor,

  Speaker 6: see Capitol building that has been home to the longest
• 44:56
  Speaker 6: continuously running legislative elected body in the world. I know
• 45:03
  Speaker 6: Patrick Henry bugged out of Richmond for a while during
• 45:07
  Speaker 6: the Revolution, during the build up to it, but you know,
• 45:11
  Speaker 6: Virginia's General Assembly has been convening since sixteen nineteen. And
• 45:16
  Speaker 6: on this Martin Luther King Junior Day, the biggest civil
• 45:19
  Speaker 6: rights rally in this part of America is going to
• 45:22
  Speaker 6: be going on. And it is the one of the
• 45:25
  Speaker 6: core civil rights one of them that Martin Luther King
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: Junior understood, and its gun ownership, the Second Amendment. And
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: our host today and again brought to you by Big
• 45:35

• 45:42
  Speaker 6: of fact, Jim Wood, the owner, is one of the
• 45:45
  Speaker 6: pre eminent gun gun trainers in America teach the state
• 45:51
  Speaker 6: troopers and everything else. We're going to visit with him
• 45:54
  Speaker 6: a little bit later. And he's also the city council
• 45:57
  Speaker 6: one of the city councilors of Waynesboro, virgin But our
• 46:01
  Speaker 6: hosts here, Virginia Citizens Defense League, Gun Owners of America
• 46:05
  Speaker 6: NRA all holding this rally here in Richmond. It's titled
• 46:09
  Speaker 6: No Queens in honor of our new governor there in.
• 46:13
  Speaker 6: Philip Vancleeve, president of VCDL dot Org, is on the
• 46:17
  Speaker 6: phone with us to kick off the day. Good morning, Philip.
• 46:20
  Speaker 6: How are you doing, sir?
• 46:22
  Speaker 22: Oh?
• 46:24
  Speaker 6: Well, you know what? Excited for a busy day. It's
• 46:28
  Speaker 6: it's interesting with the change in government. I like the
• 46:32
  Speaker 6: fact that today's rally is called a no Queen's rally,
• 46:36
  Speaker 6: playing on the indivisible folks have been spending their past
• 46:40
  Speaker 6: year and the new governor in Virginia. What are you
• 46:44
  Speaker 6: hearing now that the General Assemblies had a week under
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: its belt. Certainly they seemed fixated with getting their redistricting
• 46:52
  Speaker 6: amendment out and past. But what other things are you
• 46:55
  Speaker 6: hearing about the I think it's eighteen bill that have
• 47:00
  Speaker 6: been filed that in some way, shape or form impact
• 47:03
  Speaker 6: gun owners.
• 47:05
  Speaker 23: Yeah, there's uh, there's there's more coming. I can tell
• 47:08
  Speaker 23: you that some of the worst bills, like a permit
• 47:11
  Speaker 23: to purchase, which is going to be a real nightmare
• 47:14
  Speaker 23: first sight to purchase a gun when this is law.
• 47:18
  Speaker 23: Class is, if it passes, we could take you several
• 47:21
  Speaker 23: months to be able to go through everything that you
• 47:23
  Speaker 23: need to do to be able to just purchase a
• 47:25
  Speaker 23: gun with a permit, it's going to last five years.
• 47:29
  Speaker 23: It's hey, they're holding off on that stuff. They're trying
• 47:32
  Speaker 23: to keep it under the radar. They wanted this day
• 47:36
  Speaker 23: to be a quiet day with nobody showing up, and
• 47:39
  Speaker 23: then those things are all going to hit and maybe
• 47:42
  Speaker 23: later today or tomorrow, but the next few days have
• 47:45
  Speaker 23: a really bad one. So that's that's where we are.
• 47:50
  Speaker 23: And I sort of heard that maybe a few of
• 47:53
  Speaker 23: these bills weren't supposed to have come out already, that
• 47:55
  Speaker 23: there's a there's a little concern among the Democrats if
• 48:01
  Speaker 23: this wasn't part of the plan and some of these
• 48:03
  Speaker 23: really bad ones had already been put in, like the
• 48:05
  Speaker 23: assault weapon man.
• 48:06
  Speaker 6: Yeah, So so talk about first off, just so people
• 48:10
  Speaker 6: can wrap their head around, the United States of America,
• 48:13
  Speaker 6: one of the states in the Union is going to
• 48:16
  Speaker 6: require you to get a special permit from the government
• 48:20
  Speaker 6: to purchase a legal product in a state where you
• 48:24
  Speaker 6: know they're still trying to find ways around buying illegal
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: products like marijuana. They they they're going to take a
• 48:32
  Speaker 6: legal consumer product and make you have to get a
• 48:35
  Speaker 6: license first before you buy it. Is there any other
• 48:38
  Speaker 6: place on the planet that does something like that.
• 48:43
  Speaker 23: Well, no, you know that that's some of the stuff
• 48:45
  Speaker 23: is sort of like the pull tax. I mean, in
• 48:48
  Speaker 23: other words, that was marked as unconstitutional. Yeah, I mean
• 48:53
  Speaker 23: not only they want you to get a permit to purchase,
• 48:55
  Speaker 23: which which requires you to do fingerprinting, take a a
• 49:01
  Speaker 23: firearms course. It includes live fire, wait forty five days
• 49:05
  Speaker 23: for your permit to be processed, then wait five days
• 49:08
  Speaker 23: after you finally get to purchase your guns to be
• 49:10
  Speaker 23: able to pick it up. They also want to put
• 49:13
  Speaker 23: eleven percent excise tax on the guns and ammunition, So
• 49:16
  Speaker 23: another eleven percent on top of everything else when you
• 49:19
  Speaker 23: buy guns and ammunition.
• 49:20
  Speaker 6: It's amazing.
• 49:21
  Speaker 23: Oh yeah, it's a mess.
• 49:26
  Speaker 6: What chance is there? We watched the Constitutional Amendment fly
• 49:32
  Speaker 6: through with narry any debate. I think some very pointed
• 49:35
  Speaker 6: words were shared on the floor, but they didn't seem
• 49:38
  Speaker 6: to have any impact on swaying anyone from the Democratic caucus.
• 49:43
  Speaker 6: Is this a case where we could save a lot
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: of per diem money and just send one Democrat to
• 49:47
  Speaker 6: the Senate, one Democrat to the House with the requisite
• 49:51
  Speaker 6: number of votes to cast, because it just seems like
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: nobody is going to break ranks from their party. What
• 49:57
  Speaker 6: are you hearing.
• 50:00
  Speaker 23: Well, I'm not so sure that may be true with
• 50:03
  Speaker 23: a few of these things, especially dealing with the gun,
• 50:06
  Speaker 23: but we'll see. Remember, some of these people are in
• 50:09
  Speaker 23: purple distance and some of this stuff is absolutely I
• 50:14
  Speaker 23: mean most almost all of it have seen so that
• 50:19
  Speaker 23: that could change the balance if they overplay their hand
• 50:23
  Speaker 23: with all this stuff. But we'll see. But I think
• 50:27
  Speaker 23: sometimes it's one thing to vote one way when you
• 50:29
  Speaker 23: know a bill isn't going to make it. It's another
• 50:31
  Speaker 23: thing to vote that same way when you know the
• 50:33
  Speaker 23: bill is going to make it in the law.
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: Interesting, So what changes? What are you telling? And you
• 50:41
  Speaker 6: send out your v c d L alerts and I
• 50:43
  Speaker 6: think anyone who joins you at v c d L
• 50:45
  Speaker 6: dot org should sign up for the alerts. This is
• 50:49
  Speaker 6: especially during session notifications of when things are going to
• 50:54
  Speaker 6: have hearings. You know, how to you know, get involved
• 50:57
  Speaker 6: with those hearings. Some of them you know they have
• 50:59
  Speaker 6: zoom opportunity. But we've seen sort of the way these
• 51:02
  Speaker 6: committees have been ram rotting things through. What should your
• 51:06
  Speaker 6: membership or potential membership do when they see that there's
• 51:11
  Speaker 6: a bill coming up to have a hearing? Because I
• 51:15
  Speaker 6: still think we need to be on record opposing some
• 51:17
  Speaker 6: of this stuff.
• 51:20
  Speaker 23: Oh oh no, absolutely, it doesn't matter if you're convinced
• 51:23
  Speaker 23: it's going to go through. You've got to stand up
• 51:25
  Speaker 23: to say no, I don't support this, this is wrong.
• 51:28
  Speaker 23: And this is why they were trying to tone down
• 51:31
  Speaker 23: some of the bills that were putting already because they
• 51:33
  Speaker 23: didn't want that huge lobby day again. They were fought
• 51:37
  Speaker 23: out embarrassed by what happened in twenty twenty with fifty
• 51:40
  Speaker 23: thousand people showed up to say no, this is totally wrong,
• 51:43
  Speaker 23: and it caused them to change course on quite a
• 51:46
  Speaker 23: few things. But the what you need to do is
• 51:51
  Speaker 23: when the alerts we send out and include links where
• 51:54
  Speaker 23: you can just click to send an email to your legislators.
• 51:57
  Speaker 23: You know it figures out based on your ad here
• 52:00
  Speaker 23: home address, which are who's your senator and who's your delegate.
• 52:03
  Speaker 23: It's a pre written message that you can edit if
• 52:05
  Speaker 23: you want to customize and put in how it will
• 52:07
  Speaker 23: affects you and do that. And in committee, if you
• 52:11
  Speaker 23: can show up in these committee hearings, who will let
• 52:14
  Speaker 23: you know when they're coming up if you can show up,
• 52:16
  Speaker 23: and even if you just want to stand up at
• 52:18
  Speaker 23: the podium and just say I agree with mister Van
• 52:20
  Speaker 23: Cleeve or I agree with VCDL. That's fine, it's all
• 52:24
  Speaker 23: you have to say. If you want to go into
• 52:25
  Speaker 23: a little more detail about why you oppose something, that's fine, too.
• 52:30
  Speaker 6: So important, Philip, I've got the news coming up here.
