0:20
Speaker 3: Shows God.
0:25
Speaker 1: Sometime this child.
0:32
Speaker 3: On this Christmas Eve, we gather. We're here. It's not
0:37
Speaker 3: a tape, it's not the Oh no, no, no, we get
0:39
Speaker 3: We've got lots to cover because this is the ultimate
0:42
Speaker 3: and sneaking Sally out the alley kind of day. You
0:46
Speaker 3: you want to do something that nobody is going to
0:48
Speaker 3: talk about, or at least they hope nobody's going to
0:51
Speaker 3: hear about. They you do it on the night before
0:54
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve. Everyone's got stuff to do, so you know,
0:56
Speaker 3: you do you. You take care of the stuff you've
0:59
Speaker 3: got to take care of, leave the radio on, and
1:02
Speaker 3: we will take care of telling you what happened, especially
1:08
Speaker 3: in a way that inoculates you from being surprised by
1:12
Speaker 3: it when it shows up at your door in the
1:14
Speaker 3: form of your sister in law. She's got some comment
1:18
Speaker 3: after she listened to the joy Read podcast one too
1:22
Speaker 3: many times. God bless you for bringing her too. I
1:27
Speaker 3: know she's your sister in law, but you know, guest
1:30
Speaker 3: lists are made to be broken. But truly, I mean,
1:34
Speaker 3: this is the time where we have to remember, aside
1:40
Speaker 3: from the fact that Joseph and Mary were in Bethlehem
1:43
Speaker 3: to pay their taxes, that they were about to march
2:00
Speaker 3: into history with the greatest story ever told, a story
2:05
Speaker 3: that is not about dividing, It's about uniting. And I
2:11
Speaker 3: have dear friends who are much better at this stuff
2:13
Speaker 3: than I am. John Quisenberry, Folks like that Joe Varoxa
2:24
Speaker 3: that could do a better job of theology than me.
2:30
Speaker 3: But I am the follower of a faith that tells
2:33
Speaker 3: me I'm allowed to read the Bible for myself. As
2:38
Speaker 3: a matter of fact, published them themselves so that I
2:43
Speaker 3: could read them in my own language, in my native tongue.
2:49
Speaker 3: And so when I say to you that the message
2:52
Speaker 3: of Jesus in Samaria is the message of inviting politically
3:01
Speaker 3: diverse people to your Christmas party that you've always loved
3:06
Speaker 3: and just for some reason have decided that politics has
3:10
Speaker 3: become more important than all the things that you were
3:12
Speaker 3: connected by before. Remember when all of Jesus's apostles ranked
3:18
Speaker 3: into Smaria to go find the elected officials, regardless of
3:25
Speaker 3: whether they wore red ball caps or blue ball caps.
3:29
Speaker 3: He found the fallen woman who had been shunned by
3:33
Speaker 3: her whole community. And depending on your translation, prostitute, however
3:39
Speaker 3: you want to believe it, whatever has the most impact
3:42
Speaker 3: to you. But she had been shunned by her community.
3:46
Speaker 3: He said, No, this is the person that needs to
3:48
Speaker 3: talk to me, and I need to talk to her.
3:55
Speaker 3: Those are the messages that were supposed to be talking
3:57
Speaker 3: about this morning. So we'll open up at the first
4:09
Speaker 3: things this morning. Four three, four, eight, eight, two four
4:13
Speaker 3: to two one seven. Tell you what went on yesterday,
4:17
Speaker 3: and then we can discuss State Department announced Tuesday. It's
4:23
Speaker 3: borring five different Europeans accused of leading efforts to pressure
4:27
Speaker 3: US tech firms to censor or suppress American viewpoints. The
4:32
Speaker 3: Secretary of State, Marco Rubio called these radical activists that
4:36
Speaker 3: had weaponized non governmental organizations and fell a foul of
4:40
Speaker 3: the new visa policy announced in May to restrict the
4:44
Speaker 3: entry of foreigners deemed responsible for censorship in the United States.
4:54
Speaker 3: Denmark is pushing back against President Trump's appointment of Louisiana
4:59
Speaker 3: guyvenor Jeff Landry as Special Envoy to the territory. They
5:05
Speaker 3: continue their insistence that the Arctic island is not for sale.
5:09
Speaker 3: President Trump's announcement. They wrote to social media about the
5:13
Speaker 3: appointment of a special envoy to Greenland, in particular, its
5:17
Speaker 3: statements about the purpose hereby is completely unacceptable. The Danish
5:22
Speaker 3: Foreign Minister Laws Rasmussen said in a post, that's why
5:28
Speaker 3: we are now convening the US ambassador to the Department
5:31
Speaker 3: of State for a discussion. President Trump does say he
5:36
Speaker 3: plans to keep all the oil and the tankers that
5:39
Speaker 3: they've seized trying to sneak out of Venezuelan ports. Maybe
5:43
Speaker 3: we'll sell it, Trump said, maybe we'll keep it, maybe
5:45
Speaker 3: we'll use it in the strategic reserves. We're keeping it.
5:48
Speaker 3: We're keeping the ships. Also, the administration will begin garnishing
5:54
Speaker 3: wages of student loan borrowers in default starting in January.
5:58
Speaker 3: The Department of Education announced, we expect the first notices
6:03
Speaker 3: to be sent out approximately to approximately one thousand defaulted
6:08
Speaker 3: borrowers on the week of January seventh, and the notices
6:11
Speaker 3: will increase in scale on a month to month basis.
6:15
Speaker 3: The Supreme Court has rejected the Trump administration's request to
6:20
Speaker 3: allow the President to proceed with deploying National Guards troops
6:24
Speaker 3: to Chicago. They declined the administration's emergency request to overturn
6:30
Speaker 3: a ruling by US District Judge April Perry that had
6:35
Speaker 3: blocked the deployment of the troops. An appeals court had
6:38
Speaker 3: refused to step in, and the Supreme Court after taking
6:42
Speaker 3: two months to ruminate. At this preliminary stage, they wrote,
6:46
Speaker 3: the government has failed to identify a source of the
6:49
Speaker 3: authority that would allow military to execute laws in Illinois. Meanwhile,
6:55
Speaker 3: they're planning to send thirty three hundred and fifty National
6:58
Speaker 3: Guard troop to New Orleans for New Years.
7:01
Speaker 4: You know, it's true. Difficult times have a way of
7:04
Speaker 4: focusing us. We have to think about what matters most
7:07
Speaker 4: when it comes to our spending our healthcare. This is
7:09
Speaker 4: why so many people are joining meta share right now.
7:13
Speaker 4: Metas Share is a trusted way to save up to
7:16
Speaker 4: fifty percent on your monthly healthcare costs. More than four
7:19
Speaker 4: hundred thousand people have already made the switch. It's pretty
7:22
Speaker 4: obvious why, especially now during this challenging season with health
7:26
Speaker 4: care costs and out of pocket expenses going up. Metashare
7:29
Speaker 4: can save you a lot of money. The typical family
7:32
Speaker 4: saves five hundred dollars a month. Medashare works too. It's
7:36
Speaker 4: been around for thirty years, members have shared more than
7:38
Speaker 4: five billion dollars of each other's bills. There are different

Speaker 4: options to choose from to fit your budget. I'll give

Speaker 4: you the number here in a second, and if you call,

7:55
Speaker 4: eight five five shre forty eight five five share.
8:03
Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
8:08
Speaker 6: Yes?
8:08
Speaker 5: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
8:13

8:32
Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36

13:53

Speaker 3: eight eight two four two one seven is our phone number.
14:02
Speaker 3: You can also text message very popular to get in there.
14:06
Speaker 3: And Kareem sent a great text message and it's going
14:09
Speaker 3: to tee us up here in a moment for our
14:12
Speaker 3: next segment. But first of us check in with James,
14:16
Speaker 3: who's getting ready for a holiday weekend at jcsgold dot com.
14:21
Speaker 3: Jcsgold dot com. Course, our friends and the folks that
14:25
Speaker 3: I suggest you always get with when you want to
14:29
Speaker 3: invest in gold or silver, and they were, I mean,
14:34
Speaker 3: just nosebleed inducing Heights yesterday, James, Good morning, sir, Merry
14:39
Speaker 3: Christmas Eve morning, or however we say it. It's a
14:41
Speaker 3: little wordy, but we're working on it in post production.
14:44
Speaker 3: How are you doing this morning, sir, James, it's James there.
14:51
Speaker 3: Hang on a second. Let's see if we can hear
14:53
Speaker 3: James this way. James, how are you, sir? And it
15:00
Speaker 3: is interesting? Alright, Let's try that again. Let's let's see
15:05
Speaker 3: if we can't raise James the old fashioned way and
15:09
Speaker 3: see if we can't get them through the system. Okay,
15:16
Speaker 3: all right, so we're gonna while we reconnect with James.
15:20
Speaker 3: Let me let me tee up what Kareem was saying
15:26
Speaker 3: in the text message, because he brings up Herod, who's
15:30
Speaker 3: one of the tenant rulers of Israel under the Romans.
15:36
Speaker 3: He writes Joe that slaughter of newborn males that Herod
15:40
Speaker 3: ordered was attacks too, And I'm glad you brought this
15:45
Speaker 3: up because it tees up into a segment that you know,
15:49
Speaker 3: those like I mentioned, I have dear friends that you
15:54
Speaker 3: know you run area churches who are much greater biblical
15:59
Speaker 3: scholar than I.
16:02
Speaker 18: Me.
16:02
Speaker 3: I deal in the pop culture. I deal in that
16:05
Speaker 3: every day I deal into the real streets. And the
16:17
Speaker 3: kid who was born on this day tomorrow did Joseph
16:22
Speaker 3: and Mary by the time he reaches adulthood, is what
16:27
Speaker 3: you would call in the time a troublemaker. He's a rabbi,
16:35
Speaker 3: a conservative rabbi, a rabbi that doesn't think the Temple
16:40
Speaker 3: in Jerusalem is living up to its mission. Any of
16:44
Speaker 3: this sounding familiar. And although they know of him, they
16:54
Speaker 3: know he's a trouble maker, and they're ready for him
17:02
Speaker 3: when he gets to Jerusalem for Passover. But that's another
17:09
Speaker 3: story for another day. But it's relative to the use
17:13
Speaker 3: of Herod or Herod's use of the Romans vice versa,
17:23
Speaker 3: because it leads us to Jefferson by way of Martin Luther. See,
17:34
Speaker 3: history is full of places where the church, regardless of
17:40
Speaker 3: what church, has been co opted by government officials in
17:46
Speaker 3: order to justify anoint codify their power. Who are you
18:02
Speaker 3: I'm king? Why because the bishop says so? Oh well,
18:05
Speaker 3: if God says so, the implication is, who are you
18:11
Speaker 3: to say God's wrong to make that guy king? So
18:15
Speaker 3: what he just took your daughter into concubinity. God said so.
18:26
Speaker 3: So this conservative activist from Galilee is causing trouble for
18:32
Speaker 3: the leaders in Jerusalem, partially because he's railing against the
18:38
Speaker 3: way the Romans have climbed into bed with them and
18:41
Speaker 3: vice versa, and that the natural order of the temple
18:53
Speaker 3: was that was the center of the community. Therefore the
18:56
Speaker 3: Romans take over the temple, and therefore they are the
18:58
Speaker 3: seat of power. Now, it was pretty easy conquest for
19:03
Speaker 3: the Romans in terms of the people they had to face.
19:07
Speaker 3: Gauls put up a much bigger battle, although their theology
19:12
Speaker 3: wasn't nearly as nuanced. So this activist conservative activist from
19:23
Speaker 3: Galilee says, we've got a problem in the temple. Fifteen
19:33
Speaker 3: hundred years later, a German monk says we've got a
19:39
Speaker 3: problem in the church. Two hundred years after that, a
19:48
Speaker 3: lawyer from Virginia says, we've got a problem in the
19:51
Speaker 3: government and that they're using the church that maybe just
20:01
Speaker 3: we should come up with a way to not allow.
20:05
Speaker 3: And this goes back to a conversation we had on
20:07
Speaker 3: Monday's programming and going back, and a lot of this
20:10
Speaker 3: comes out of the America Fest speeches, and believe it
20:13
Speaker 3: or not, we had some consideration of going to it
20:19
Speaker 3: and broadcasting from it. We were asked this sponsorship plus
20:24
Speaker 3: consumer electronics show and a lot of traveling Christmas, so
20:29
Speaker 3: we didn't do the America Fest thing. And then you know,
20:31
Speaker 3: once I was sued by the people who carry Charlie
20:34
Speaker 3: Kirk's show in this area, in my flagship area, probably
20:37
Speaker 3: would have been a bad look. Anyway, It probably wind
20:40
Speaker 3: up with more FedEx deliveries at my door. Oh. I know,
20:46
Speaker 3: I'm not saying it's the only thing, but you know,
20:47
Speaker 3: if FedEx has arrived, there's a chance it's a certified
20:51
Speaker 3: letter from a law firm. So Jefferson come along and says,
21:00
Speaker 3: how in all this history, from this conservative activist rabbi
21:06
Speaker 3: from Galilee, through the monk named Martin Luther, through Thomas
21:14
Speaker 3: Locke and the Enlightenment, can we not figure out a
21:18
Speaker 3: way Because we're smart people, we can write and all that,
21:23
Speaker 3: can we not find out a figure out a way
21:27
Speaker 3: to keep the government from co opting the church and
21:35
Speaker 3: vice versa. And it's been controversial ever since the moment
21:42
Speaker 3: he'd handed in that first draft of the Declaration of
21:45
Speaker 3: Independence in which he said people are endowed by their creator.
21:53
Speaker 3: It's been controversial and it's been a defining moment of
21:57
Speaker 3: this particular point in theological history, sauce.
22:02
Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
22:07
Speaker 5: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric

28:24
Speaker 2: For stil.
28:26
Speaker 3: I got a love Burl Lives this Christmas Eve morning,
28:29
Speaker 3: and we have found James Luck of the Jefferson Coin Shop.
28:33
Speaker 3: I'm sure some of that may be heard wafting through
28:36
Speaker 3: the PA system of the JCS Gold headquarters. But James,
28:41
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas Eve Day. How are you doing this morning, sir?
28:47
Speaker 23: I'm doing fine, Joe, and I'm sorry about earlier. I
28:49
Speaker 23: think I was in amazement staring at the Golden Silver charts.
28:53
Speaker 23: I really think that they're in a competition here to
28:56
Speaker 23: close out the end of the year arth in the
28:58
Speaker 23: green again. Today gold is slightly in the green about
29:02
Speaker 23: a tenth percent to four thousand, four hundred and eighty
29:06
Speaker 23: five dollars. Silver is up three quarters of a percent
29:11
Speaker 23: to seventy two dollars and five cents. What just cut
29:15
Speaker 23: right through seventy and here sitting at seventy two and
29:19
Speaker 23: and that's what I was looking.
29:20
Speaker 3: Oh my goodness. Earlier, I mean, I figured we'd have
29:23
Speaker 3: a grad up for silver, yo. I figured we'd have
29:26
Speaker 3: a chance to sit here and say, oh, look at this.
29:29
Speaker 3: We were right seventy dollars. It just said, you don't
29:31
Speaker 3: know what, We're not stopping for seventy We're going to
29:34
Speaker 3: go right past that. Holy moly, that's amazing.
29:40
Speaker 8: You know.
29:40
Speaker 6: That's just earlier this year gold was you know, in
29:45
Speaker 6: the in the twenty dollars range and in the thirty
29:48
Speaker 6: dollars range, and here we are over one hundred percent.
29:51
Speaker 24: Uh, you know, increase in value here within one year
29:54
Speaker 24: for silver.
29:55
Speaker 6: This is what clients have been.
29:57
Speaker 24: Dreaming about for decade, Donesley. So it's really crazy to
30:02
Speaker 24: see silver move this way.
30:03
Speaker 6: It really just goes to.
30:04
Speaker 16: Show you know how silver is used industrially.
30:07
Speaker 24: It's used in data centers and microchips and solar panels
30:13
Speaker 24: and electric cars, and it's used up in all this
30:16
Speaker 24: technological growth and taken out of the system.
30:19
Speaker 3: And you know, and one of the points about gold
30:22
Speaker 3: and silver investing, and this is one of the reasons
30:24
Speaker 3: I promote the idea of for you going to the
30:27
Speaker 3: Jefferson Coin Shop JCS goold dot com for your gold
30:31
Speaker 3: and silver investing. Number one, it's not a call center.
30:35
Speaker 3: I mean, if you call four three four nine seven
30:37
Speaker 3: nine coin, you're gonna get James or his mom, his dad,
30:42
Speaker 3: or some of their staff. But they're all right there together.
30:44
Speaker 3: It's not a call center off in some far away land.
30:49
Speaker 3: But the other part of it is is you guys
30:51
Speaker 3: get the fact that this is a hedge against the
30:54
Speaker 3: wild rides of money. So you know, if let's say
30:58
Speaker 3: silver comes back down in its own intruth, it's always
31:02
Speaker 3: going to have solid value. There's never going to be
31:05
Speaker 3: a moment where people like silver. I don't take silver
31:08
Speaker 3: for anything anymore, you know, it's gotten about it. That's
31:11
Speaker 3: the thing about these precious metals is they always have
31:14
Speaker 3: been valuable as a currency.
31:20
Speaker 6: That's absolutely right.
31:21
Speaker 24: And there's always been a demand through through different governments
31:26
Speaker 24: and the rise and fall of different governments and cultures.
31:30
Speaker 24: Gold and silver have been the backbone financially, you know,
31:34
Speaker 24: the backbone of those economies, and it holds true today.
31:38
Speaker 6: Gold and silver are real money and there's always a
31:42
Speaker 6: demand and need for gold and silver, which is great.
31:45
Speaker 3: Well, you have a blessed Christmas Eve. I hope you
31:47
Speaker 3: have tons of people. Since it's a family business, I
31:50
Speaker 3: imagine the whole family is around for Christmas time or
31:53
Speaker 3: make out some time for everybody in the family and
31:56
Speaker 3: the love family for Christmas. And you're a blessed to
32:00
Speaker 3: us here on first thing today, and I hope you
32:03
Speaker 3: have wonderful Christmas and we'll talk to you again before
32:05
Speaker 3: the New Year's comes.
32:08
Speaker 24: Thanks Joe, Merry Christmas to you and your family as well.
32:10
Speaker 24: And I will let Jim mccaren know that your holiday
32:14
Speaker 24: wishes and thanks enjoying your time.
32:17

32:21
Speaker 3: is my phone number here to that end, and you
32:24
Speaker 3: can also email JT in the Morning Radio at gmail
32:29
Speaker 3: dot com. I like this one, Teresa writes in there
32:33
Speaker 3: you go, Joe making Jesus sound like a conservative talk
32:36
Speaker 3: show host, so typical of people like you. Well, Teresa,
32:41
Speaker 3: I don't know if you if you know me for
32:43
Speaker 3: a well, and you know, I hope we lay it
32:46
Speaker 3: out on the air as much as we can. And
32:50
Speaker 3: I know you probably only have twenty minutes or fifteen
32:53
Speaker 3: minutes to spend with us each morning, so I don't
32:57
Speaker 3: know how much you hear from me, but we're not
33:02
Speaker 3: coy about what I believe and what I believe. I
33:05
Speaker 3: was making a case so you understand what the impact
33:09
Speaker 3: of this fellow from Galilee was, what the impact of
33:12
Speaker 3: the kid whose birthday is tomorrow was on the world,
33:18
Speaker 3: and why it was important, and why it leads us
33:20
Speaker 3: to where we are today, and why it leads us
33:23
Speaker 3: to the stuff we discuss and analyze on the radio
33:28
Speaker 3: each day, because saving the Republic that Jefferson helped midwife
33:37
Speaker 3: is the most important thing we can do. And all
33:44
Speaker 3: other ideologies and political ideologies anyway, divide first and then govern.
33:56
Speaker 3: And maybe there's an immorality that has betaken us. We
34:03
Speaker 3: fallen prey to our lesser angels, and all those things
34:06
Speaker 3: that Moses warned us about, God warned us about through
34:09
Speaker 3: Moses technically all those weaknesses about bearing false witness against
34:16
Speaker 3: thy neighbor, that our desires are more important on earth
34:31
Speaker 3: than they are, and that we mischaracterize what we want
34:41
Speaker 3: in momentary power or authority. For example, I thought it
34:47
Speaker 3: was kind of interesting I played a clip for you
34:48
Speaker 3: earlier of mel Brooks. We were talking about this Laura
34:51
Speaker 3: Lomer story that's all over the press right now, about
34:54
Speaker 3: how she's apparently turning on Donald Trumphe the headline writers
34:58
Speaker 3: love this kind of stuff, saying that maybe some of
35:01
Speaker 3: the Democrats were right about there being Nazis in the
35:04
Speaker 3: conservative movement. If they are, it's just because people like
35:09
Speaker 3: Laura Lumer haven't been smart enough or aerodied enough to
35:13
Speaker 3: call them out for it. I've been doing it since
35:16
Speaker 3: twenty sixteen. It isn't hard because I'm not gifted with
35:26
Speaker 3: unique intellect. So if I can call out Nazis for
35:30
Speaker 3: being the fakers that they are under any banner, but Joe,
35:35
Speaker 3: political parties that you have to be united are sure,
35:38
Speaker 3: but don't support me if you think that I'm going
35:42
Speaker 3: to help you get rid of the Jews or something
35:45
Speaker 3: like that, or get rid of anybody Christians, Blacks, Latinos,
35:56
Speaker 3: this is what they've been doing to Donald Trump since
35:58
Speaker 3: the day he walked out on the State and love
36:01
Speaker 3: or dislike President Trump, you have to stop and say,
36:05
Speaker 3: hang on a second here. I mean he's deporting people
36:08
Speaker 3: who are not citizens to this country. This whole controversy
36:12
Speaker 3: over the sixty minutes leaked segment. I've watched some of
36:17
Speaker 3: it and I can see some journalistic holes in it.
36:23
Speaker 3: And maybe you've done the same, and maybe it was
36:30
Speaker 3: a brilliant pr stunt by CBS to come across as
36:33
Speaker 3: being on the correct side of things for a change.
36:42
Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, it's you and me.
36:45
Speaker 3: It's not me better than you or you better than me.
36:48
Speaker 3: As a matter of fact, more likely you better than me,
36:51
Speaker 3: because if you ain't listening, I'm not eating and I
36:57
Speaker 3: can't abide that.

39:32
Speaker 5: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
39:37

41:05
Speaker 26: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
Speaker 26: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09

41:13
Speaker 26: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:16
Speaker 26: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food

41:33

41:36

Speaker 3: And most of the even when you have.
44:43
Speaker 19: Gone away, it's.
44:50
Speaker 2: Change about and you need to stay.
45:00
Speaker 3: Come in home this Christmas day, it's Christmas Eve. Dawns
45:06
Speaker 3: across America, sunrise about to impact you on the Eastern seaboard.
45:13
Speaker 3: Realized it was doing the same thing in Bethlehem two
45:18
Speaker 3: thousand and thirty three years ago. Were two and fifty
45:22
Speaker 3: eight years ago? There I go again, embarrassing my math
45:26
Speaker 3: teachers from New York City public schools if they could
45:29
Speaker 3: remember me from the forty two or forty three other
45:31
Speaker 3: students in my math class. They would be wholeheartedly embarrassed
45:36
Speaker 3: by my behavior here and showing my New York City
45:40
Speaker 3: Public school math skills. Got a bunch of folks on
45:43
Speaker 3: the line hanging on. Let me get you, and the
45:45
Speaker 3: queue as well. Good morning, who's this?
45:48
Speaker 12: Good morning?
45:49
Speaker 2: Jud's Joel?
45:49
Speaker 3: Hey, Joel, hang on the line of second here. We
45:51
Speaker 3: got some folks ahead, Doctor Clark hanging on the line
45:54
Speaker 3: from Alabama. There the golf is being the Gulf of
45:58
Speaker 3: America being heard from. Well this Christmas Eve morning and
46:01
Speaker 3: morning Clark. How are you doing, sir, Morning Joe, and
46:05
Speaker 3: Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas to you, sir.
46:10
Speaker 16: So I get up in the morning, Joe, I read
46:13
Speaker 16: my news feeds, and then while I get my arteries
46:18
Speaker 16: to make gases, I'm listening to Joe Thomas and just
46:23
Speaker 16: I don't know, kind of like a popery of things
46:25
Speaker 16: running around in my head. And the perfidy of Harod
46:30
Speaker 16: came up earlier in your show.
46:32
Speaker 3: Uh huh, yeah, Kareem, and I got to thank him.
46:37
Speaker 16: What if the Roman government? What if in the Roman
46:42
Speaker 16: Daily Register you would have read that the Roman government
46:48
Speaker 16: learned that Herod had been responsible for nine billion dollars
46:56
Speaker 16: in fraud.
46:58
Speaker 3: Mmm.
47:02
Speaker 16: I think there would have been consequences and repercussions there.
47:05
Speaker 3: Romans were noted for that. Yeah.
47:10
Speaker 16: And then the other thing that's kind of been jumbling
47:14
Speaker 16: around in my head. There's an article of American Thinker
47:19
Speaker 16: about why we need a legitimate sensus, and they mentioned
47:25
Speaker 16: the three fifths compromise in there. Remember that three fifths
47:31
Speaker 16: compromise thing, though, what was that about?
47:33
Speaker 3: That was about non slave states and how they would
47:40
Speaker 3: assess the population based on slave population in the southern
47:44
Speaker 3: states versus northern states.
47:47
Speaker 16: So the slave owners wanted their slaves counted so they
47:55
Speaker 16: could have greater political power. Right, Yes, Well, you know
48:01
Speaker 16: things don't change, do they, Because ain't that pretty much
48:08
Speaker 16: what we got right now with the current census that
48:11
Speaker 16: we're working by. M.
48:14
Speaker 3: I hadn't thought about it in that light because currently,
48:20
Speaker 3: I think we look at the census as perfunctory, more
48:24
Speaker 3: as a statics a statistics exercise, fun and frolic to
48:31
Speaker 3: see who gets to move the deck chairs around on
48:33
Speaker 3: the Titanic. Because ever since the nineteen twenty nine Act
48:38
Speaker 3: for Permanent Reapportionment, there's one for you if you're just
48:42
Speaker 3: getting us for the first time because we're on for
48:44
Speaker 3: a holiday, You're like, what the hell is this guy
48:47
Speaker 3: talking about? Go look up the nineteen twenty nine Act
48:51
Speaker 3: for Permanent Reapportionment. But when they cap the size of
48:55
Speaker 3: the US House of Representatives at four hundred and thirty five,
48:58
Speaker 3: all the census really did was give them the map
49:04
Speaker 3: to rearrange the chairs. But that act itself was as
49:12
Speaker 3: racist an act as the Three Fifths Compromise because it
49:18
Speaker 3: was designed to keep the growing black populations from getting
49:25
Speaker 3: congressional representation. That's why, based on its desire to keep
49:31
Speaker 3: the black population from gaining majorities in areas that it
49:36
Speaker 3: had grown in prosperity. Like, oh, I don't know Oklahoma City. Uh,
49:42
Speaker 3: you know that.
49:45
Speaker 16: That the sanctuary state thing really allows for a couple
49:51
Speaker 16: of things. One, if you count people that are not
49:56
Speaker 16: here legally in a census were they couldn't be counted,
50:02
Speaker 16: then because they're counted, you get greater representation in Congress.
50:10
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that we're even discussing that we're even discussing
50:15
Speaker 3: whether or not to count people that aren't citizens in
50:18
Speaker 3: the census is boggling to my mind.
50:23
Speaker 16: Yes, yes, I know. But wait, here's the other thing, Joe.
50:30
Speaker 16: It allows for the necessary elasticity in the voter roles.
50:38
Speaker 16: Now we thought that, oh, they're going to get the
50:41
Speaker 16: illegals to vote for them. No no, no, no, no
50:43
Speaker 16: no no. Maybe they will, maybe they won't, but that's
50:47
Speaker 16: not the goal right now. By doing the motor voter
50:53
Speaker 16: and all the chicanery, that's how you get one hundred
50:57
Speaker 16: and twenty one thousand more votes in the state of
51:00
Speaker 16: Pennsylvania than there were voters in the state of Pennsylvania.
51:07
Speaker 16: And when you look at how economic they were, Joe,
51:13
Speaker 16: you know why there were one hundred and twenty one
51:15
Speaker 16: thousand more votes than there were voters because they weren't
51:19
Speaker 16: because how many they needed. Yep, they only needed one
51:25
Speaker 16: hundred and twenty thousand and nine hundred and ninety nine.
51:28
Speaker 16: That's how many there to been.
51:31
Speaker 3: Yeah, well, you got to do reverse engineering. Isn't that
51:34
Speaker 3: what they teach you in engineering school. Good stuff, doctor Clark.
51:37
Speaker 3: I appreciate my friend. I hope you have a blessed Christmas.
51:40
Speaker 16: Eve.
51:41
Speaker 3: Do the same, Joe. Joel's on the line with this
51:45
Speaker 3: Good morning Joel, how he doesn't doing this morning, sir?
51:48
Speaker 12: I'm Okay, I'm trying my best.
51:51
Speaker 3: That's all we can all do.
51:53
Speaker 12: And I appreciate everybody's a support too that it really
51:56
Speaker 12: makes me so so good. I wanted to bring this up.
52:00
Speaker 12: This is gonna poly sound odd, but I was trying
52:03
Speaker 12: to look up how far are we away from the
52:06
Speaker 12: Russian border. And there's actually two islands that separate us
52:10
Speaker 12: from the Bearing Sea and ours is that. They're called
52:14
Speaker 12: the Damiti Islands and our islands the small Damiti it's
52:19
Speaker 12: called Yesterday Island. And then the bigger island is the
52:24
Speaker 12: Big Damiti and that's the Russian owned. It's only separated
52:27
Speaker 12: by two point four miles. And yet the island, the
52:32
Speaker 12: little island that we own, is called Yesterday Island. The
52:35
Speaker 12: big islands called you know, Tomorrow and it's twenty one
52:39
Speaker 12: hour difference, just by two point four miles.
52:42
Speaker 3: Oh, because of the time, the time change the meridian crosses.
52:47
Speaker 3: That's why it's I was like thinking Tomorrow Land like Disney.
52:51
Speaker 20: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
52:54
Speaker 20: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
52:56
Speaker 20: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
