Speaker 1: Fiant a Norm Megan.
0:05
Speaker 2: Now make America great again than I've ever.
0:08
Speaker 3: Been, making mornings great again. First thing today on the
0:12
Speaker 3: Talk Media Network by Joe Talas.
0:36
Speaker 1: Welcome to a ted sty across the Talk Median Network.
0:40
Speaker 1: My name is Joe, and this is my gift to you,
0:43
Speaker 1: a day where we celebrate God's gifts to you and
0:46
Speaker 1: you all have them. I don't care how gasol it
0:49
Speaker 1: you've been, how much public education you've had brow beaten
0:53
Speaker 1: into you. You have amazing gifts and your community is
0:57
Speaker 1: just waiting for you to unleash them upon them unless
1:01
Speaker 1: you already are and then you know, hey, preach into
1:04
Speaker 1: the choir. Not an unusual thing for me, but this
1:08
Speaker 1: is the radio program that Number one isn't afraid of
1:10
Speaker 1: calling ourselves a radio program. Despite more and more major
1:14
Speaker 1: broadcast networks declaring bankruptcy and their excuses, I was doing
1:20
Speaker 1: an infographic on the issues. One of the major broadcast
1:26
Speaker 1: companies blamed downturn in radio listenership as part of the reason,
1:33
Speaker 1: which isn't true. Most all empirical measurements says radio is
1:40
Speaker 1: actually growing in listenership. And I'm not saying this because
1:44
Speaker 1: I'm defensive or anything. Or shallow. Actually I am shallow
1:49
Speaker 1: and defensive, but that's not the reason I'm saying that
1:51
Speaker 1: right now. It's just you are part of a special
1:56
Speaker 1: group of folks who get to know about what happened
1:59
Speaker 1: last night, and most importantly, get to tell us how
2:02
Speaker 1: it's impacting you where you are at four three, four
2:05
Speaker 1: eight eight two four two one seven. The Ted's d
2:10
Speaker 1: mantra is you've been gifted with amazing talents. Certainly not
2:14
Speaker 1: all of us are are guitar players like Ted, but
2:18
Speaker 1: he's our avatar for the concept. If you will, and
2:23
Speaker 1: then you figure out what it is you're gifted to do,
2:26
Speaker 1: the thing that you would have to do regardless of compensation.
2:30
Speaker 1: You become expert at it, You ply that trade for
2:35
Speaker 1: a grateful constituency who, at the end of the day,
2:38
Speaker 1: I imagine, will reward you justly for it. And then
2:41
Speaker 1: you don't have to worry about the gnattering nabobs of
2:45
Speaker 1: negativism out there and all the hate that they want
2:49
Speaker 1: to spew towards you. We begin by telling you what
2:53
Speaker 1: went on, and then what comes after is our discussion
2:57
Speaker 1: over what was going on in the middle of it all.

Speaker 2: Considered by most, Optimized curcumin is one of the few
8:07
Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
8:13
Speaker 2: am Doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
8:18
Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
8:22
Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
8:26
Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
8:31
Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
8:36
Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
8:42
Speaker 2: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
8:46
Speaker 2: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
8:51
Speaker 2: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

Speaker 8: Hi everybody, I'm Jackhannah.
10:00
Speaker 9: It's always a boy growing up on a farm in Tennessee,
10:02
Speaker 9: I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not only in awe
10:05
Speaker 9: of their beauty and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic.
10:08
Speaker 9: Just look at the birds who gather supplies to build nests,
10:11
Speaker 9: or Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
10:14
Speaker 9: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
10:17
Speaker 9: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
10:20
Speaker 9: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
10:22
Speaker 9: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
10:25
Speaker 9: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
10:28
Speaker 9: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
10:32
Speaker 9: they also perform life saving work every day.
10:34
Speaker 8: Dogs keep us safe at airports.
10:36
Speaker 9: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTSS.
10:39
Speaker 9: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
10:41
Speaker 9: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
10:44
Speaker 9: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
10:47
Speaker 9: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
10:50
Speaker 9: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
10:53
Speaker 9: on this planet.
10:54
Speaker 8: We inhabit together. Go to American Humane dot org to

Speaker 10: Bruh, that's buzzed.
11:01
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
11:05
Speaker 11: And now a speech.
11:06
Speaker 12: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
11:10
Speaker 12: heart and brain.
11:12
Speaker 8: Who's with me?
11:13
Speaker 10: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed.
11:15
Speaker 12: And my brain is saying when it's time to go home.
11:18
Speaker 12: Somebody call me a ride.
11:19
Speaker 10: Love that guy, me too.
11:21
Speaker 5: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
11:23
Speaker 5: it's time to go home.
11:24
Speaker 8: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
11:26
Speaker 13: Who did you know that more than half our household
11:31
Speaker 13: energy costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't
11:35
Speaker 13: just good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
11:39
Speaker 13: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
11:42
Speaker 13: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can

Speaker 14: As a family member or friend, you may be the
12:32
Speaker 14: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
12:35
Speaker 14: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
12:40

12:54
Speaker 14: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
13:12
Speaker 3: On your to do list. Putting the radio on is
13:14
Speaker 3: the first thing today.
13:18
Speaker 1: That's just what the doctor roda. Hey, you know, I've
13:23
Speaker 1: got a bone to pick with some folks, and here's
13:26
Speaker 1: the thing that I want to I'm it's a minefield,
13:32
Speaker 1: and I don't mean the kind of minefield that the
13:34
Speaker 1: Iranian Navy is trying to put into the Straits of
13:37
Speaker 1: horror moves. But this witch hunt over Jeffrey Epstein right now,
13:45
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying this just because just because Pam
13:57
Speaker 1: Bondi has apparently been sequestered off at a military base.
14:06
Speaker 1: It's because there are real reasons to be righteously indignant
14:11
Speaker 1: over what Jeffrey Epstein did and using it. The people
14:15
Speaker 1: who are using this just to score political points. Really,
14:23
Speaker 1: I will say bad words if I'm not more careful,
14:25
Speaker 1: and this is somebody who's done this in excess of
14:28
Speaker 1: thirty years. There are real reasons to be outraged about
14:38
Speaker 1: Jeffrey Epstein his behavior. There are real things to try
14:41
Speaker 1: to find out what he was doing, why he was
14:44
Speaker 1: doing it. And it begins with he was just a freak.
14:49
Speaker 1: He was just one of these people that the Overton
14:54
Speaker 1: window crowd is trying to normalize in our conversations because
14:58
Speaker 1: he was a minor attractive person. Because if you just
15:06
Speaker 1: look at it from five miles up, you would think
15:10
Speaker 1: that the world is gone on this purient march against
15:15
Speaker 1: such despicable sexual gratification and debauchery, and it's the return
15:23
Speaker 1: of the Puritans. And that's there is such a small
15:28
Speaker 1: percentage of us who are outraged over the sexual deviancy
15:33
Speaker 1: of Jeffrey Epstein and his island and Gallainne Maxwell, and
15:38
Speaker 1: I think you and I are two of those people,
15:45
Speaker 1: but all the people who are trying to do all
15:47
Speaker 1: the things that will score political points against that one
16:01
Speaker 1: the other one. If there are political points to be scored,
16:04
Speaker 1: then it opens the can of worms. From where isai?
16:07
Speaker 1: You tell me if you think I'm off base on this,
16:10
Speaker 1: If there are political points to be scored in this,
16:16
Speaker 1: then that indicates to me that there was state craft
16:19
Speaker 1: going on underneath the debauchery. There were political leaders who
16:25
Speaker 1: are being encouraged to make political and or governmental decisions
16:30
Speaker 1: based on the need to hide the fact that they
16:35
Speaker 1: had spent time with Jeffrey Epstein and gone down to
16:39
Speaker 1: Epstein Island and the ironically named Virgin Island section of
16:44
Speaker 1: the Caribbean. And that's so problematic to me that there
16:58
Speaker 1: are people who are just using this to score political points.
17:01
Speaker 1: But then when you ask them, why would there be
17:03
Speaker 1: a political price to pay alongside this? What political decisions
17:09
Speaker 1: were being made that were changed because of association with
17:14
Speaker 1: this pervert, this now deceased pervert who we can't extract
17:22
Speaker 1: any information on aside from documents, and every time I
17:27
Speaker 1: open another one up, it's, you know, conversations that I'm
17:32
Speaker 1: told are in code. And when the Dali Lama is
17:39
Speaker 1: on Epstein's island, I'm like, okay, we've passed a rubicon
17:44
Speaker 1: of at least three different types. Were there multiple tiers
17:55
Speaker 1: of people involved, and all of these things that are
17:58
Speaker 1: reasonable questions, reasonable questions that you want to find answers
18:02
Speaker 1: through our judicial system on But it's all about scoring
18:06
Speaker 1: political points. And apparently some of the threats made against
18:10
Speaker 1: PAMBONDI regard the Epstein files, this has become the new
18:22
Speaker 1: McCarthy witch hunt instead of Kami's. We're out there looking
18:27
Speaker 1: for Purvis and that's okay. I have no problem with
18:32
Speaker 1: trying to make it clear to people that being a
18:34
Speaker 1: minor attracted person is not socially acceptable, and that's putting
18:38
Speaker 1: it kindly, but that's not what's going on here. That's
18:42
Speaker 1: what's got me so disquieted. Is the nice way to
18:47
Speaker 1: say it about this. And I don't mean to come
18:52
Speaker 1: up too much. I mean, there's a lot of other
18:53
Speaker 1: stuff going on in the world, but this just it's
18:58
Speaker 1: so sadly typical. We're just doing political gotcha with children
19:05
Speaker 1: being turned into sex slaves, and we need to be
19:16
Speaker 1: better than that. And I don't mean to sound like
19:24
Speaker 1: President Trump when he says, you're still talking about this creep.
19:28
Speaker 1: I want everyone involved with this creep to have to
19:32
Speaker 1: pay for what they did, because otherwise we're just going
19:35
Speaker 1: to have more minor attracted persons because the Overton window
19:40
Speaker 1: crowd will have successfully normalized the idea of being a
19:43
Speaker 1: minor attracted person aka pervert and mean. So while Joe,
19:53
Speaker 1: isn't it a free country, No, there are people who
19:56
Speaker 1: are not at the age of adulthood who should be
20:01
Speaker 1: protected by law so that they cannot be manipulated by
20:06
Speaker 1: those who they're entrusting to teach them what the world
20:10
Speaker 1: is about children. And this is why every civilized culture
20:16
Speaker 1: and several several ones that we would consider uncivilized, treat
20:21
Speaker 1: children differently than adults. And there are usually ceremonies of
20:26
Speaker 1: some kind, schools, learning tests that must be sat so
20:32
Speaker 1: that you can see if some child has learned enough
20:36
Speaker 1: about being an adult in the society to now be
20:41
Speaker 1: considered part of it. It's part of why you children's
20:45
Speaker 1: legal reputations and the laugh of all hypocrisy are the
20:49
Speaker 1: people who say that somebody under the age of I
20:52
Speaker 1: don't know, forty five shouldn't have a firearm. And we're
20:56
Speaker 1: watching more of these laws pass here in our flagship
20:58
Speaker 1: state and more gun grabs going on, and it's going
21:01
Speaker 1: to be a template used all around the country. I worry.
21:09
Speaker 1: But you've got the same group that says young people
21:12
Speaker 1: shouldn't have firearms, but it's okay for them to go
21:15
Speaker 1: to a doctor without their parents and say I need
21:18
Speaker 1: my genitals taken off because I'm sad because I don't
21:23
Speaker 1: know who I am. Yeah, that's what's called being a child.
21:28
Speaker 1: Children don't know who they are yet, so to have
21:33
Speaker 1: perverts like Jeffrey Epstein use them for their own sexual
21:37
Speaker 1: deviancy is a definite reason to be outraged about it.
21:42
Speaker 1: But my further outrage, my extra special sauce on top
21:48
Speaker 1: of the outrage, is the way people are using these
21:51
Speaker 1: stories in ways that have absolutely nothing to do with
21:57
Speaker 1: making sure the next girl isn't maltreating.
22:02
Speaker 2: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
22:07
Speaker 2: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
22:12
Speaker 2: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
22:17
Speaker 2: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
22:21
Speaker 2: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
22:27
Speaker 2: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
22:31
Speaker 2: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
22:35
Speaker 2: precious gas, and in turn blood pressure can go up,
22:38
Speaker 2: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
22:41
Speaker 2: your hands and feet. Well our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
22:46
Speaker 2: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

24:07
Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
24:12
Speaker 2: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
24:18
Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
24:22
Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
24:26
Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
24:31
Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
24:36
Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
24:42
Speaker 2: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
24:45
Speaker 2: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
24:50

Speaker 3: We didn't make talk radio, we made it better. First
28:15
Speaker 3: thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media.
28:18
Speaker 1: Network, AH, and this Ted's D four three four eight
28:24
Speaker 1: A two four two one seven. We tell you what
28:27
Speaker 1: went on, and then we'll tell you what we think
28:30
Speaker 1: about it. Obviously that's what you're paying your admission price for.
28:34
Speaker 1: But then, beyond my analysis, since you're the most important
28:37
Speaker 1: local aspect of your radio station, you got to tell
28:40
Speaker 1: me how it's making you feel where you are or think,
28:43
Speaker 1: depending on which side of the political spectrum you hail from.
28:47
Speaker 1: Kareem is on the line. Good morning, Kaream. How are
28:49
Speaker 1: you doing this morning, sir? Good morning Joel.
28:53
Speaker 18: Right now, I'm doing pretty well.
28:54
Speaker 1: I'm happy.
28:54
Speaker 18: I'm drawing a Ohio Turnpike. Got a little bit of
28:57
Speaker 18: rain coming down.
28:58
Speaker 1: Oh wow, where are you headed to? You're all way
29:00
Speaker 1: out in Ohio.
29:02
Speaker 18: Well, actually back back to the valley, heading down to Winchester,
29:06
Speaker 18: then back up north again.
29:07
Speaker 1: Well, if you're anywhere near Youngstown, we're live on Wyo.
29:12
Speaker 1: H I should, I should be able to tell you
29:14
Speaker 1: the dial frequency. There bad form on my part, but
29:18
Speaker 1: you know, so you don't have to eat up your
29:20
Speaker 1: data or anything like that.
29:24
Speaker 18: For your show, Joe, it's worth it. But I'll try
29:27
Speaker 18: scanning after I hang up.
29:29
Speaker 1: Okay, all right, anyway, so what's on your mind?
29:32
Speaker 18: Well, again, your show is just chock full of stuff
29:35
Speaker 18: to pull from. But the news about the newest refinery
29:39
Speaker 18: being built since nineteen seventy one in Brownsville, Texas. Yes, sir,
29:42
Speaker 18: I think that's a fantastic start, but.
29:45
Speaker 1: I think that I don't know any details. All I
29:47
Speaker 1: have is what's on the What was that little blurb?
29:50
Speaker 18: Yeah, if it's being created for the Venezuela oil, which
29:54
Speaker 18: we need a new facility to process quicker because Brownsville,
29:57
Speaker 18: Texas is way down south. Oh yeah, I think we
30:00
Speaker 18: need more more refineries throughout the US, and I think
30:04
Speaker 18: there's a lot of development that needs to happen across
30:06
Speaker 18: the heartland. We need our food, We definitely need our
30:08
Speaker 18: food and crops, but we need more refineries across, not
30:12
Speaker 18: huge ones, just many small ones.
30:15
Speaker 1: Well i'll go ahead. Well, you know you raised the
30:18
Speaker 1: big point because for what four years, and then now
30:21
Speaker 1: this last year, it's been drill, baby, drill, But you've
30:25
Speaker 1: got to bring them somewhere. And New Jersey certainly isn't
30:28
Speaker 1: interested in refining our crude oil anymore. So it has
30:33
Speaker 1: to happen somewhere. It has to be turned into something
30:36
Speaker 1: you can burn and or you know, people don't talk
30:39
Speaker 1: about oil in the way that I think it's is fair.
30:44
Speaker 1: Number one, it's a miraculous liquid considering how many things
30:49
Speaker 1: we can do with one fluid. I mean, you take
30:53
Speaker 1: that one fluid and everything from the you know, the
30:57
Speaker 1: case for the computer I'm working on in front of me,
31:01
Speaker 1: to the cell phone you're holding, never mind the gasoline
31:05
Speaker 1: for the car you're running, is all being created out
31:09
Speaker 1: of that one crude oil. And then part of the
31:14
Speaker 1: enviro movement has fascinated me. In nineteen eighty, you know,
31:18
Speaker 1: we were being told peak oil and we're going to
31:20
Speaker 1: be out of oil, and there are oil fields that
31:23
Speaker 1: have long since supposedly have been dried up that are
31:27
Speaker 1: still generating oil. So you know, the whole idea of
31:31
Speaker 1: it being a fossil fuel, I'm not one hundred percent
31:34
Speaker 1: sure that that's the most accurate way to describe it,
31:38
Speaker 1: because I've read some really interesting science about tectonic plate
31:43
Speaker 1: shifting and the creating of oil in the tectonic shifts
31:48
Speaker 1: of the planet, and that that's why we haven't run
31:51
Speaker 1: out of oil yet. It's it's a fascinating fluid in
31:56
Speaker 1: and of itself. And yeah, you're right, we do need
31:58
Speaker 1: to refine it so that we can use it and
32:00
Speaker 1: be less reliant on Russia and and places that are
32:05
Speaker 1: not friendly to us to do this stuff.
32:10
Speaker 18: Joe, once again, you're right.
32:11
Speaker 1: I've got to go.
32:12
Speaker 18: I'm approaching Youngstown's respate just past exit two fifteen.
32:16
Speaker 1: I show it all right, Hang on a second here,
32:19
Speaker 1: wyo H Where is that that is? You can get
32:24
Speaker 1: it at ninety seven point seven FM or fifteen forty AM.
32:30
Speaker 1: I'd go with fifteen forty first. It's got a pretty
32:33
Speaker 1: big signal. They're out of Youngstown. It's transmitters right in
32:38
Speaker 1: between Youngstown and Warren.
32:41
Speaker 18: So fifteen forty.
32:42
Speaker 1: Thank you, Joe, great morning YouTube. Kareem uh four three
32:46
Speaker 1: four eighty two four two one seven is the phone
32:49
Speaker 1: number for that. And and these are things that you know.
32:56
Speaker 1: It's it's an abstract obviously, you know, drill, baby, drill,
32:59
Speaker 1: gotta get oil. Power our vehicles, power, our power plants,
33:04
Speaker 1: power the things that make it possible to be a
33:06
Speaker 1: civilized society. But take a second and think about this stuff,
33:13
Speaker 1: and then think about all the things that we do
33:16
Speaker 1: with it, and why this economic disarmament that's being pushed
33:21
Speaker 1: by the Greens is so important. That being said, our
33:25
Speaker 1: friends at Sea Fact just signed on yesterday to sponsor
33:29
Speaker 1: our broadcasts from Dallas. We're going to be heading to
33:32
Speaker 1: Dallas two weeks now, two weeks time, will be driving
33:37
Speaker 1: through Chattanooga. Oh gosh, please make a note. I've got
33:41
Speaker 1: to call the guys down at w GOOW and Chattanooga.
33:45
Speaker 1: First off, love being on there, but we're want to
33:48
Speaker 1: come down. We're going to stop over. It's about halfway
33:50
Speaker 1: between Charlottesville and Dallas for SEAPAC. But see fact, the
33:57
Speaker 1: Committee for Constructive Tomorrow isn't about just none of the
34:03
Speaker 1: above which is what the Green New Deal is about.
34:05
Speaker 1: It's economic disarmament in the at the altar of this
34:11
Speaker 1: population bomb crowd. It's a dehumanizing genocide wrapped in green robes.
34:25
Speaker 1: But we're going to talk with doctor Bonnar Cohen problems,
34:30
Speaker 1: huge problems. Tornadoes in where they are in Texas and
34:37
Speaker 1: they didn't get hit by them, but a lot of
34:39
Speaker 1: these wind farms got damaged pretty badly by them, and
34:43
Speaker 1: we will get into that as well. The other story.
34:47
Speaker 1: I'm just fascinated by this stuff. So the two kids
34:53
Speaker 1: that were arrested in New York trying to blow up
34:59
Speaker 1: Gracie Mansion, do you have the Nick Freds clip? Just
35:04
Speaker 1: for fun? I just I love this stuff. Nick Fredis
35:08
Speaker 1: is a friend of mine and a former member of
35:11
Speaker 1: the Virginia House of Delegates and now gotcham way more
35:18
Speaker 1: popular than some would say. I am by the statistics
35:22
Speaker 1: you see on his Instagram and his YouTube channels does
35:27
Speaker 1: a weekly show called Making the Argument. But his reels
35:31
Speaker 1: are worth it, just you know, forty five forty seconds long.
35:34
Speaker 1: This one he posted yesterday. It's nice little report from CNN.
35:45
Speaker 8: Yeah.
35:46
Speaker 19: It starts off two Pennsylvania teenagers crossing in New York
35:49
Speaker 19: City Saturday morning for what could have been a normal
35:51
Speaker 19: day enjoying the city during abnormally warm weather.
35:54
Speaker 8: I wonder what happened next.
35:56
Speaker 19: But in less than an hour, their lives would drastically change.
36:00
Speaker 1: I wonder what happened.
36:01
Speaker 19: As the pair would be arrested for throwing homemade bombs.
36:05
Speaker 1: Oh why would you.
36:06
Speaker 19: Start off this report with two Pennsylvania teenage Oh? Oh, okay,
36:12
Speaker 19: because they were motivated by ISIS and they're not white.
36:15
Speaker 1: Okay.
36:16
Speaker 19: That explains why we didn't get any honesty and reporting here.
36:19
Speaker 1: So those teens their home, The FBI has found explosive
36:23
Speaker 1: materials in a storage unit that was connected to Emir
36:31
Speaker 1: Balat eighteen and Ibrahim Kyumi nineteen. They told the investigators
36:37
Speaker 1: after their arrest near Gracie Mansion in Manhattan, they were
36:40
Speaker 1: inspired by the Islamic State, according to law enforcement officials.
36:45
Speaker 1: So you would say, well, hold on a second, isn't
36:47
Speaker 1: seyfod mad Money a Muslim as well? Yeah? See, this
36:52
Speaker 1: is the thing. It's an inconvenient truth in jihad Land
37:00
Speaker 1: that Islamic terrorists will be much more likely believe it
37:07
Speaker 1: or not to kill other Muslims even than Jews and
37:16
Speaker 1: the reason for this is their inability to see the
37:23
Speaker 1: right teachings. So you've got Sunni Shia, got the Kurds,
37:28
Speaker 1: You've got so many sects within the Islamic faith and
37:32
Speaker 1: they're all at war with each other. And I think
37:37
Speaker 1: this has to do with the protester, the Hamas supporter
37:42
Speaker 1: that was dining at Gracie Mansion as well. It's just
37:47
Speaker 1: exposing something that is You can't just say Islamic terrorists,
37:52
Speaker 1: because there are Islamic terrorists that are going after other
37:55
Speaker 1: Islamic terrorists at the same time.
38:01
Speaker 20: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
38:04
Speaker 20: problems in their solutions.
38:06
Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
38:08
Speaker 20: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
38:11
Speaker 20: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
38:14
Speaker 20: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
38:17
Speaker 20: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
38:20
Speaker 20: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
38:24
Speaker 20: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in

Speaker 20: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
38:30
Speaker 20: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
38:34
Speaker 20: percent less DPF regenerations.

41:10

43:32

43:35
Speaker 17: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
43:39

44:11
Speaker 3: Amaze your friends here a first thing today by Joe Thomas.
44:19
Speaker 1: So the nation turns its lonely eyes to you, that phrase,
44:23
Speaker 1: you know, and so often they get it wrong. It
44:26
Speaker 1: becomes almost acceptable behavior to me to get what's going
44:33
Speaker 1: on in so many places wrong. And it actually is
44:36
Speaker 1: a life lesson to look at these headlines and these
44:39
Speaker 1: stories and say, hold it is this actually what's going
44:43
Speaker 1: on there? Because so often when my name's been in
44:47
Speaker 1: their mouth that it has been let's just say, incomplete coverage,
44:53
Speaker 1: like the riots of Charlottesville in twenty seventeen. There such
44:57
Speaker 1: is the case of the Gatekeepers VA, the group that
45:02
Speaker 1: did this great We've seen this before.
45:04
Speaker 15: They count our bodies for representation.
45:07
Speaker 1: But past sham laws to silence our voices.
45:10
Speaker 10: They'll let us on the bus, but tell us where
45:14
Speaker 10: to sit.
45:16
Speaker 23: They tell us be quiet, tell us to stay in
45:19
Speaker 23: the back, in the back.
45:23
Speaker 1: So these folks have started a campaign to you know,
45:30
Speaker 1: educate people as redistricting Mania still you know Missouri and
45:36
Speaker 1: you know all the places they're still trying to do. Maryland,
45:41
Speaker 1: Maryland that has enough Republicans to actually elect Republican governor
45:47
Speaker 1: in the last five years.
45:48
Speaker 14: Uh.
45:49
Speaker 1: And yet they want to have zero congressional representatives if
45:54
Speaker 1: they draw their districts the way they want to. And
45:58
Speaker 1: this redistricting mania in Virginia has got everyone's attention because
46:02
Speaker 1: we're trying to suspend our constitution so that the Democrats
46:07
Speaker 1: can go after Donald Trump. And they're brash enough to
46:10
Speaker 1: actually put that in their TV ads. But that TV
46:14
Speaker 1: ad I was playing actually was put together by a
46:17
Speaker 1: group called the Gatekeepers of Virginia. And one of the
46:19
Speaker 1: folks in that ad is Waverley Washington, and Waverley's on
46:24
Speaker 1: the phone with us, and I wanted to get you
46:26
Speaker 1: in here early, Waverley, so our friends down on Hampton
46:29
Speaker 1: Roads and our affiliate down both of our affiliates down
46:32
Speaker 1: there can hear you and talk about what brought you
46:36
Speaker 1: to put this campaign together that has got the Attorney
46:39
Speaker 1: General of Virginia double tap so inflamed they were going
46:44
Speaker 1: to hold a press conference and then somebody said, hey,
46:46
Speaker 1: you know, you actually make it a bigger story if
46:49
Speaker 1: you do that, So they canceled their press conference. But
46:52
Speaker 1: they're all out there righteously indignant that you guys would
46:56
Speaker 1: talk about this gerrymandering in a racial bias sense, just
47:00
Speaker 1: the way it used to be. Well, how'd you come
47:02
Speaker 1: to this?
47:03
Speaker 23: Oh, I appreciate you giving me the opportunity to kind
47:05
Speaker 23: of speak on this issue. You know, once it was
47:08
Speaker 23: presented to me, you know, I definitely had to think
47:10
Speaker 23: about it. You know, you've seen the video and kind
47:12
Speaker 23: of the subject matter that's entail with it. And more
47:15
Speaker 23: I sat with you, the more I came to the
47:16
Speaker 23: conclusion that, you know, truth is truth.
47:19
Speaker 1: And lies are lies.
47:20
Speaker 23: And I felt the need that we had to start
47:23
Speaker 23: to just point out what the lie was. And disenfranchisement
47:25
Speaker 23: is disenfranchisement, regardless of whether it's in the nineteen sixties
47:29
Speaker 23: or in twenty twenty six, you know. And I think
47:32
Speaker 23: it was important had that word be pushed out and
47:34
Speaker 23: let people understand that they are, you know, trying to
47:37
Speaker 23: protect their power by silencing the voices of Virginians.
47:41
Speaker 1: It's amazing to me and I go all the way
47:44
Speaker 1: back and anyone who's heard my show at any given moment,
47:47
Speaker 1: will hear me talk about the Permanent Reapportionment Act of
47:51
Speaker 1: nineteen twenty nine, And everyone's just nobody talks about this,
47:56
Speaker 1: but this the Dixiecrats in the mid you know, nineteen twenties,
48:02
Speaker 1: We're getting very concerned about the growing black prosperous population
48:06
Speaker 1: and they wanted to do something about it, and they
48:09
Speaker 1: cap the size of the US House of Representatives at
48:12
Speaker 1: four hundred and thirty five, thus plunging us into this
48:16
Speaker 1: redistricting nightmare that gets worse every ten years, and now
48:20
Speaker 1: has laid the groundwork for this very thing to happen. Wave.
48:26
Speaker 1: You know, is this something that can be easily fixed
48:29
Speaker 1: because I see these districts and this is classic jerry
48:33
Speaker 1: mandering without reform to you know, how Congress gets districted
48:39
Speaker 1: in the first place.
48:41
Speaker 23: No, that's a great question, Joe, and I really think that,
48:44
Speaker 23: you know, part of the reason why we're trying to
48:45
Speaker 23: bring attention to this is that the irony of is
48:48
Speaker 23: that more I've talked to, you know, Republicans and even Democrats,
48:52
Speaker 23: no one seems to want this, you know, but some
48:54
Speaker 23: times you got to be honest that there are just
48:56
Speaker 23: people who just aren't aware this is even happening. And
48:59
Speaker 23: I think the biggest thing is bringing awareness and bringing
49:02
Speaker 23: it to the attention of the voters to give them
49:04
Speaker 23: the chance to have their voice be heard. Now if
49:06
Speaker 23: you look at the twenty twenty Amenment, Virginias have already
49:08
Speaker 23: had their voice has heard about this topic. But this
49:11
Speaker 23: is where we are, and we have to basically take
49:14
Speaker 23: what we can and in terms of what's available to
49:16
Speaker 23: us in terms of resources, and make sure that Virginians
49:19
Speaker 23: understand that they're taking power from us and just where
49:22
Speaker 23: they can hold onto their own political power.
49:24
Speaker 1: The question, the statement I have made is that they
49:27
Speaker 1: want to temporarily suspend the Virginia Constitution. And a rejoinder
49:33
Speaker 1: to this is, well, if you can temporarily suspend it,
49:36
Speaker 1: then it's not a constitution. Is this really a case
49:40
Speaker 1: of rule of man overruling rule of law.
49:44
Speaker 23: No, No, absolutely, I think that you're right, and I mean,
49:47
Speaker 23: this isn't the first time this happened. If you look
49:48
Speaker 23: in the nineteen sixties, the Democrats suspending the constitutions to
49:51
Speaker 23: change lines to basically just enfranchised minorities, and they're effectively
49:55
Speaker 23: doing the same thing in twenty twenty six. It's a
49:57
Speaker 23: different minority. And you know, we have to be up
50:00
Speaker 23: to what's being played out by the Democrats and making
50:02
Speaker 23: sure that we maintain true, fair and equal elections because
50:06
Speaker 23: what they're trying to aim for is not fair and
50:08
Speaker 23: not equal.
50:09
Speaker 1: Now. I know there are some court cases pending regarding this,
50:13
Speaker 1: and the Supreme Court keeps punting the can down the
50:16
Speaker 1: road more and more. Wave Washington, one of the folks
50:19
Speaker 1: in this advertisement and the Gatekeepers VA group that is
50:24
Speaker 1: trying to push back against this tearing a part of
50:27
Speaker 1: the black communities in Virginia to create these Democrat majority districts.
50:34
Speaker 1: But there's a part of the Virginia Constitution that hasn't
50:37
Speaker 1: been brought to the Supreme Court, and that's the phrase
50:40
Speaker 1: compact and contiguous. And it was key five years ago
50:45
Speaker 1: in the movement to create the Special Commission of Nonpartisans
50:52
Speaker 1: to draw Virginia's congressional districts out. Is that something that
50:57
Speaker 1: needs to be brought up in this wave, Joe.
51:00
Speaker 23: You know, I'm not super aware about the one word
51:03
Speaker 23: that you just utilize. You know, for us, the way
51:06
Speaker 23: that we viewed it from, We're going to control what
51:09
Speaker 23: we can control.
51:09
Speaker 1: The course is going to be the course.
51:10
Speaker 23: You know. I can't I can't control some of the
51:12
Speaker 23: legal conclusions that they'll come to. But what I can
51:15
Speaker 23: focus on is making sure that we stand up and
51:17
Speaker 23: have our voice be heard fort Virginians through the commercial,
51:20
Speaker 23: through these different avenues that we have, and to continue
51:23
Speaker 23: to push that. And I love you give this opportunity
51:25
Speaker 23: to do that through your radio show. Appreciate that.
51:27
Speaker 1: Have you seen the mailer that Ac Cordosa's group has
51:32
Speaker 1: mailed out over the past weekend?
51:34
Speaker 23: No, I have, and I one hundredercent agree with it.
51:37
Speaker 1: Obviously.
51:38
Speaker 23: You know, we understand, we understand our history, we understand
51:41
Speaker 23: what's happening and what the Democrats are trying to accomplish.
51:44
Speaker 23: And just because you don't like the framing of it
51:46
Speaker 23: doesn't mean that it makes it any less true. So
51:49
Speaker 23: that's that's kind of where I stand with it. And
51:51
Speaker 23: I've met Ac a few times. He's a good man,
51:53
Speaker 23: and I know hit his heart's in the right place
51:55
Speaker 23: because this is true.
51:56
Speaker 1: You know, it's such a great statement. Just because you're
51:58
Speaker 1: uncomfortable with the phrase or what's being said doesn't make
52:02
Speaker 1: it any less true. You know, while the battle is
52:05
Speaker 1: still being waged in Florida and here in Virginia, and
52:10
Speaker 1: the battle still you know, in of course now in
52:13
Speaker 1: North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Missouri, California, and Utah already redistricting themselves.
52:20
Speaker 1: Let's not forget that it was court ordered for Texas
52:24
Speaker 1: to do. And it's interesting because they pull President Trump's
52:28
Speaker 1: statement on the Texas redistricting. There are many of my
52:32
Speaker 1: Republican friends that said, you know, that's just one of
52:34
Speaker 1: those places they wish the President had left it out.
52:38
Speaker 1: But it has done what it has done, and it
52:41
Speaker 1: brought us here and all these places. Whether Ron DeSantis
52:46
Speaker 1: can call a special session didn't seem to get in
52:49
Speaker 1: the way of the Democrats.
52:51
Speaker 10: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
52:54
Speaker 10: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
52:56
Speaker 10: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected andvulnerable.
