- 0:02Speaker 1: We cut the cost of radio listening. By hell, it
- 0:05Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place.
- 0:07Speaker 2: So let's say one million dollars.
- 0:11Speaker 1: I'm calling first thing today by Joe Thomas on the
- 0:15Speaker 1: Tunk Media Network.
- 0:17Speaker 3: George said, steal metem. You have a day at least

- 0:38Speaker 5: Let me be Joe. Thank you for letting me be
- 0:41Speaker 5: of service to you this morning on the program that
- 0:46Speaker 5: tells you what went on last night and then gives
- 0:50Speaker 5: you our learned analysis of it. But mostly I want
- 0:54Speaker 5: to add to the whole stew how the news of
- 0:58Speaker 5: the day is impacting you where you so you do that.
- 1:01Speaker 5: We have a multitasking phone number. You can text message
- 1:05Speaker 5: because mornings are a cacophony of last minute things, because
- 1:09Speaker 5: now is the last minute. Or you can call us
- 1:13Speaker 5: at four three four eight eight two four to two
- 1:17Speaker 5: one seven emails come into JT in the Morning radio
- 1:23Speaker 5: at gmail dot com and we can get together there
- 1:27Speaker 5: as well. So much going on this morning and heading
- 1:31Speaker 5: into the weekend, but a lot of it is dust
- 1:34Speaker 5: settling spin. If you feel like your inner ear is
- 1:38Speaker 5: being manipulated a little bit more than you might like,
- 1:41Speaker 5: it's because now now begins. The spin now begins. The
- 1:45Speaker 5: I didn't like what he did because he didn't ask
- 1:48Speaker 5: us first stuff from the European heads of states. And
- 1:53Speaker 5: what they really don't like is the fact that they
- 1:55Speaker 5: all know very well that the reason President Trump didn't
- 1:59Speaker 5: tell them about their strikes against Iran is he was
- 2:02Speaker 5: pretty sure one of them would have called Iran first.
- 2:07Speaker 5: I mean, it is what it is, what it is,
- 2:09Speaker 5: what it is, what it is. But lemons don't make lemonade.
- 2:15Speaker 5: If you leave lemons alone on the counter, they rot
- 2:17Speaker 5: and make a mess. Humans make lemonade out of lemons.
- 2:23Speaker 5: Just as an fyi for your pop culture references this morning. There,
- 2:28Speaker 5: so we'll get into that. A lot of folks enjoying
- 2:31Speaker 5: a chuckle at the expense that Hunter Biden has decided
- 2:35Speaker 5: he needs some money, so he's offering to get into
- 2:39Speaker 5: the octagon against either Don Junior or Eric Trump. And
- 2:47Speaker 5: if he was going to portend that it was raising
- 2:49Speaker 5: money for charity, the charity would be help get the
- 2:52Speaker 5: big guy a new wheelchair, help pay for the big
- 2:57Speaker 5: guys live in nurse because you know, selling access to
- 3:01Speaker 5: the Big Guy eight is lucrative as it used to be.
- 3:05Speaker 5: So we begin with our first things now the spin begins.
- 3:09Speaker 5: Mark Ruti is, after his meeting with the President, off
- 3:13Speaker 5: to see the crowned heads of Europe, who are still
- 3:16Speaker 5: salty over the fact that the President didn't call them
- 3:20Speaker 5: first before striking Iran. He is trying to get some
- 3:25Speaker 5: support from them to open the Strait of horror moves.
- 3:29Speaker 5: Speaking of President Trump is accusing a run of foot
- 3:33Speaker 5: dragging and quote doing a very poor job of allowing
- 3:36Speaker 5: oil back through the strait. Iran is saying that they
- 3:40Speaker 5: only allow fifteen vessels a day and they want to
- 3:44Speaker 5: charge those folks a dollar per barrel of oil on board.
- 3:51Speaker 5: Attorney General Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche Thursday took over
- 3:57Speaker 5: at the Department of Justice, issued a memo to all staff,
- 4:00Speaker 5: who then immediately started leaking it to the press. CNN
- 4:04Speaker 5: got the first copy of it. In it, he said
- 4:07Speaker 5: nothing particularly noxious, but he did say he thanked Pam
- 4:11Speaker 5: Bondi for her service, and that could be controversial. House
- 4:15Speaker 5: GOP blocked an effort by House Democrats to invoke war
- 4:20Speaker 5: powers on the President to keep him from striking Iran.
- 4:23Speaker 5: At the end of a two week ceasefire, Chris Smith,
- 4:27Speaker 5: Republican from New Jersey, was presiding over the House as
- 4:32Speaker 5: Speaker Johnson is on his way to our flagship area
- 4:36Speaker 5: in Harrisonburg, Virginia for a no jerrymandering rally on Saturday.
- 4:42Speaker 5: Senate Banking Committee has apparently taken a confirmation hearing off
- 4:46Speaker 5: its calendar. The confirmation hearing would have been for Kevin Walsh,
- 4:50Speaker 5: President Trump's pick to run the Federal Reserve. First Lady
- 4:54Speaker 5: Milania Trump again denied any ties to Jeffrey Epstein. She
- 4:59Speaker 5: said Thursday, the stories are completely false. In a extraordinary
- 5:04Speaker 5: statement made by the First Lady in the West wing
- 5:11Speaker 5: accusations that she was somehow involved in Epstein Island, spread
- 5:17Speaker 5: smears about me and unfound baseless lies. Russian President Vladimir
- 5:23Speaker 5: Putin announced a ceasefire in their invasion of Ukraine in
- 5:29Speaker 5: connection with the approaching holiday of Orthodox Easter, he said.
- 5:33Speaker 5: President Voladimir Zelenski of Ukraine said early this morning that
- 5:38Speaker 5: Ukraine would act in accordance with the Orthodox Easter ceasefire
- 5:44Speaker 5: and those are some of our first things on this
- 5:47Speaker 5: Friday morning.
- 5:50Speaker 6: Every state is home to significant historic sites that tell
- 5:53Speaker 6: the American story, but not every site is telling that
- 5:57Speaker 6: story honestly and fairly. That's why the Haired Foundation created
- 6:01Speaker 6: the Heritage Guide to Historic Sites. This interactive guide equips
- 6:05Speaker 6: American citizens with the tools they need to enjoy the
- 6:09Speaker 6: sites that depict some of the greatest moments at our
- 6:11Speaker 6: nation's history, analyzing them for historical accuracy, and provides resources
- 6:17Speaker 6: for families or educators planning a visit. It currently covers
- 6:21Speaker 6: over forty five sites in the thirteen original colonies, but
- 6:24Speaker 6: sites from all fifty states will be added in time
- 6:28Speaker 6: for citizens to celebrate America to fifty this summer. From
- 6:31Speaker 6: Mount Vernon to Independence Hall to Gettysburg and more. Americans
- 6:36Speaker 6: deserve transparency, and sites that steward our history faithfully deserve
- 6:41Speaker 6: our gratitude. The Heritage Guide to Historic Sites invites every
- 6:45Speaker 6: American to rediscover the places and stories that define our nation,

- 8:04Speaker 9: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 9: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
- 8:13Speaker 9: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 9: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 9: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 9: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Totalwellness dot com where we

- 10:04Speaker 11: not only in alle of their beauty and kindness, but
- 10:06Speaker 11: also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds

- 10:15Speaker 11: travel up to five hundred miles to secure food for

- 10:39Speaker 11: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
- 10:42Speaker 11: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
- 10:44Speaker 11: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those

- 13:23Speaker 5: Bob good Is on with uspost was Good for America
- 13:27Speaker 5: Podcast This Morning Bob I wanted to ask you about
- 13:32Speaker 5: Governor Spandberger's cratering poll numbers here in the Commonwealth. I
- 13:37Speaker 5: just did a piece with both Chap Peterson, former Democrat senator,
- 13:43Speaker 5: and Steve Hayn, political analyst for the Jefferson Institute, in
- 13:47Speaker 5: which they point to both the radical positions on things
- 13:51Speaker 5: that like the redistricting, but also the fact that they
- 13:56Speaker 5: promised affordability and they can't even deliver believability, which is
- 13:59Speaker 5: my column for the Daily Signal coming up today. Because
- 14:04Speaker 5: Dominion is going to raise everybody's electric bills because of
- 14:07Speaker 5: their green scam membership, the Reggie membership. Is it going
- 14:12Speaker 5: to continue to plummet for her as she continues to
- 14:16Speaker 5: do this.
- 14:17Speaker 2: I suspect it will.
- 14:19Speaker 7: As you know, she ran as a centrist moderate in
- 14:22Speaker 7: order to win still a purplish blue leaning state, a Commonwealth,
- 14:27Speaker 7: and that was pure calculated political ambition. Now that she's
- 14:31Speaker 7: secured the governorship, she's going to default to her radical,
- 14:37Speaker 7: extreme leftist views. In addition to she doesn't need the
- 14:41Speaker 7: center's centrists, the mainstream, or the swing voters.
- 14:45Speaker 18: The independence will have you.
- 14:46Speaker 7: Now that she's already the governor, she's going to cater
- 14:48Speaker 7: to her base because when she pursues her ambitions, when
- 14:51Speaker 7: she can't run again as governor of Virginia, when she's
- 14:54Speaker 7: trying to seek the Democrat nomination for president, there is
- 14:56Speaker 7: no moderate lane, no centrist lane in the Democrat part.
- 15:00Speaker 7: So the more radical leftist that she is as a governor,
- 15:03Speaker 7: the more it sets her up to run statewide because
- 15:05Speaker 7: that's what the Democrat excuse me, nationwide, because that's what
- 15:08Speaker 7: the Democrat base at at Hermann's nominees wants. That's why
- 15:12Speaker 7: Bernie Sanders and aoc are Via, Kamala Harris, those types
- 15:15Speaker 7: are viable candidates on the national level to get Democrat nominations.
- 15:19Speaker 5: And apologies for messing up anyone's breakfast to mention those
- 15:23Speaker 5: three while you're trying to eat, you don't you're muffin bob.
- 15:27Speaker 5: Last question for you, President Trump. You were talking about,
- 15:31Speaker 5: you know, the military actions against Iran, the debate whether
- 15:36Speaker 5: it's the ending of a forty seven year war that
- 15:38Speaker 5: nobody wanted to talk about or the beginning of a
- 15:41Speaker 5: new war, those kind of things. A lot of folks say,
- 15:45Speaker 5: I like what President Trump is doing in policy. The
- 15:50Speaker 5: worry and I want your thought on this is, you know,
- 15:53Speaker 5: do we need Congress to get off its but this
- 15:56Speaker 5: is one of the worst congresses in terms of doing
- 15:59Speaker 5: anything legislative. They couldn't pick up the president's agenda, as
- 16:02Speaker 5: you've mentioned. So are we really watching the development of
- 16:06Speaker 5: an elected king of the United States where Congress is
- 16:10Speaker 5: an irrelevancy and whoever the president is just governs by
- 16:15Speaker 5: executive order.
- 16:17Speaker 7: I'm reading a book right now, The Cult of the Presidency,
- 16:19Speaker 7: by a guy named Jean Heally, which is talking about
- 16:22Speaker 7: just that. How we have seen over the past one
- 16:26Speaker 7: hundred years or so, really going back to Woodrow Wilson
- 16:29Speaker 7: and Teddy Roosevelt kind of started it, accelerated by Fdr
- 16:34Speaker 7: LBJ and Truman even But where the executive has power
- 16:40Speaker 7: that was never intended by the founders, is never intended
- 16:43Speaker 7: by the Constitution, and Congress has slowly acceated that. With
- 16:46Speaker 7: the current Republican control of government, it's dual. You've got
- 16:50Speaker 7: Congress which is just subservient, subordinate to the president. The
- 16:54Speaker 7: speaker knows he gets his power from the president. The
- 16:57Speaker 7: president is dictating and telling the Congress what to do. So, yes,
- 17:00Speaker 7: Congress has not codified into law Trump's policies that are
- 17:05Speaker 7: from this second term, or let alone the first term
- 17:07Speaker 7: that will be long lasting post twenty twenty eight. But
- 17:11Speaker 7: the president's not really leading or calling for that to happen.
- 17:14Speaker 7: So fun and Johnson just react and respond to the
- 17:17Speaker 7: president who's calling the shots. And the President seems to
- 17:20Speaker 7: be focused simply on the immediate over the next three
- 17:25Speaker 7: years his presidency, his legacy, and it's not pushing conservative policy.
- 17:31Speaker 7: We're certainly not cutting spending, we're certainly not shrinking government.
- 17:35Speaker 7: And all he seems to care about is to say
- 17:37Speaker 7: back for the election, the upcoming election, he wants voting
- 17:41Speaker 7: for Iran.
- 17:42Speaker 5: Yeah, well, Bob, what's coming up on the Good for
- 17:45Speaker 5: America podcast this week?
- 17:47Speaker 7: Well, we're going to talk about Iran. We're going to
- 17:50Speaker 7: talk about how Republicans should respond in Congress to what
- 17:56Speaker 7: the president wants to do, how he needs push back
- 17:59Speaker 7: in resistance when he's little off base on things that
- 18:01Speaker 7: he wants to do. We're going to talk about the
- 18:03Speaker 7: outlook for the for the midterms and the political side
- 18:06Speaker 7: of it as well.
- 18:07Speaker 5: Bob good It's Good for America dot org is his website.
- 18:10Speaker 5: Thank you so much for you have a great weekend.
- 18:13Speaker 7: You as well, Joe, Thank you my friend four three
- 18:16Speaker 7: four eight.
- 18:18Speaker 5: Leave that alone. Four eight eight two four two one
- 18:22Speaker 5: seventy is the phone number. Text message as well, like
- 18:25Speaker 5: this one that came in from Danny. I don't know
- 18:28Speaker 5: if Danny is listening down to WBLJ in Dalton, uh,
- 18:34Speaker 5: but I appreciate it if you are, because he's taking
- 18:36Speaker 5: up for Marjorie Taylor Green a little bit. He said,
- 18:39Speaker 5: hold on, politician in Congress, self serving, call the newsroom,
- 18:45Speaker 5: stop the presses. Marjorie Taylor Green has been a vocal
- 18:50Speaker 5: activist for the conservative cause, and if defending herself and
- 18:55Speaker 5: her office means that she gets to keep doing that,
- 18:58Speaker 5: I don't have a problem with it, you know. And
- 19:02Speaker 5: he goes on to go into why he doesn't like
- 19:05Speaker 5: the president for going after her and bringing up Reagan's
- 19:08Speaker 5: eleventh Commandment, you know, And I think that there's some
- 19:13Speaker 5: things to be said about that. I don't. I know
- 19:17Speaker 5: that it's commonplace in my industry to pick up Reagan's
- 19:21Speaker 5: eleventh commandment, thou shalt not speak ill of another Republican. Yeah,
- 19:29Speaker 5: I got. I don't want to pick a party. I
- 19:34Speaker 5: am an independent, mostly because I live in Virginia and
- 19:39Speaker 5: Virginia does not require us to register with a political party.
- 19:44Speaker 5: That being said, I can't think of the this time
- 19:48Speaker 5: I voted for a Democrat. Oh yeah, yes I can, Yes,
- 19:52Speaker 5: I can, I can. I can tell you that I
- 19:54Speaker 5: voted for Admiral Joseph Sestak when I lived in southeastern
- 19:58Speaker 5: Pennsylvania because the Republican incumbent in his district told me
- 20:04Speaker 5: that his greatest accomplishment was keeping the manufacturing of the
- 20:08Speaker 5: Osprey in the district. And I said, you mean the
- 20:11Speaker 5: plane that even Marines are afraid to fly, because at
- 20:15Speaker 5: that point the Ospreys had been grounded pending safety reviews
- 20:20Speaker 5: and things like that, And he didn't particularly like the
- 20:24Speaker 5: I guess he thought he was going on a conservative
- 20:26Speaker 5: talk show. Therefore, we would just say, isn't it great
- 20:29Speaker 5: you're a Republican, Oh my gosh. But I don't like
- 20:33Speaker 5: the fact that both the Democratic Party and the Republican
- 20:36Speaker 5: Party have assumed this position of being the fourth and
- 20:41Speaker 5: fifth branches of government. So I appreciate the text message
- 20:45Speaker 5: there and a little bit of what Bob was just
- 20:47Speaker 5: talking about there. The power in DC, the Royal presidency
- 20:51Speaker 5: is just a function I think of the power that

- 21:16Speaker 5: us safe amongst the flood of disingenuity and authoritarianism and
- 21:23Speaker 5: dehumanizing dictatorship started springing leaks when we allowed for things
- 21:30Speaker 5: like national income tax and deciding that we can pillage
- 21:38Speaker 5: the way the Senate operates without ever really discussing why
- 21:42Speaker 5: the Senate operated that way. But if you're going to
- 21:45Speaker 5: eliminate the state contributions to the federal budget, then yeah,
- 21:51Speaker 5: I guess the senators could be popularly elected. But we
- 21:55Speaker 5: also never debated shortening their terms so that they had
- 21:58Speaker 5: to stand for These are just some of the things.

- 28:15Speaker 2: The first thing today.
- 28:28Speaker 5: I mentioned this. We were talking about these guys and
- 28:30Speaker 5: we found this guy that does a pretty credible Tucker
- 28:35Speaker 5: Carlson impression. And we still have that video up somewhere
- 28:40Speaker 5: of this Tucker Carlson and President Trump interact Trump.
- 28:46Speaker 2: Thank you so much for coming on my podcast.
- 28:48Speaker 9: Finally, I saw this morning that you called me kookie,
- 28:51Speaker 9: which even for.
- 28:52Speaker 2: Me, that's a new one.
- 28:55Speaker 5: And what's what's his name, Tony Lapidis, there's an incredible uh.
- 29:00Speaker 5: But if you want to go for a Trump impersonator,
- 29:03Speaker 5: there's none better than my friend Sean Farrish. And I've
- 29:07Speaker 5: watched Shawn's career. He's launched a few tea party and
- 29:12Speaker 5: maga groups Long Island Loud Majority, but now he's in
- 29:15Speaker 5: Nashville and he does a podcast every day, Little reels
- 29:21Speaker 5: every day. He's even done his Trump impression for President
- 29:26Speaker 5: Trump at Merri Lango and now. And I say this
- 29:32Speaker 5: to say I knew him win, but I was the
- 29:34Speaker 5: first radio show he ever appeared on my program, and
- 29:38Speaker 5: that was down at Sea Pack in Orlando. I's twenty
- 29:43Speaker 5: twenty one, I'm thinking. And now he fills in for
- 29:48Speaker 5: the Vince Culinies show every now and then. But I've said,
- 29:53Speaker 5: it's tough on a guy like Sean to do an
- 29:55Speaker 5: impression of Trump because you're supposed to caricaturize your subject matter,
- 30:01Speaker 5: and he does the voice spot on, But how do
- 30:03Speaker 5: you how do you come up with wilder things to
- 30:07Speaker 5: say than President Trump himself will say. I mean, he
- 30:10Speaker 5: has no compunction about making some dancehall comments and calling
- 30:16Speaker 5: an issue out for what it is. Saying the quiet
- 30:19Speaker 5: part out loud, I think is an expression that was
- 30:22Speaker 5: invented for the Trump administration. But I think our friend
- 30:25Speaker 5: Shawn has found his calling. So the President issued this
- 30:29Speaker 5: whole screed about Tucker Carlson, Marjorie Taylor greed everything by
- 30:33Speaker 5: social media on truth Social yesterday. But it's just a
- 30:36Speaker 5: written I mean, it goes on It's like a page
- 30:39Speaker 5: and a half long. So our friend Seawan took to
- 30:42Speaker 5: his Facebook and Instagram account to just read it for us.
- 30:47Speaker 24: I know why Tucker Carlson, Megan Kelly, Kendice Owens, and
- 30:51Speaker 24: Alex Jones have all been fighting me for years, especially
- 30:56Speaker 24: by the fact that they think it is wonderful for Iran,
- 31:00Speaker 24: the number one stage sponsor of terror, to have a
- 31:03Speaker 24: nuclear weapon, because they have one thing in comment low
- 31:07Speaker 24: IQ's they're stupid people.
- 31:10Speaker 11: They know it.
- 31:12Speaker 13: You know.
- 31:12Speaker 5: It's it's like he's radio. It's like he came out
- 31:15Speaker 5: of the Oval office, stood behind the podium and did
- 31:18Speaker 5: it himself. So if you find it what's Seawan's Facebook page.
- 31:22Speaker 5: It's just Sean Farish. It's with a W S H
- 31:26Speaker 5: A w N Parish fair Ash. You could even search
- 31:31Speaker 5: Captain Deplorable, which is his nickname there. And you know,
- 31:39Speaker 5: whatever you take on the idea of military action somewhere,
- 31:44Speaker 5: and we brought this up with Bob. Military action is
- 31:48Speaker 5: something that's taken for purpose and what is the purpose
- 31:51Speaker 5: behind it. It's interesting to me that on the advent
- 31:56Speaker 5: of the bombardment of Tehran, folks like Mark Warner, Tim
- 32:00Speaker 5: Kine were out there beating the drum about we've seen
- 32:04Speaker 5: no credible intel that have said if that was the case,
- 32:09Speaker 5: if that was really true, wouldn't you still be hearing
- 32:14Speaker 5: them say that? And you don't. You don't because they've
- 32:23Speaker 5: they've stopped, which means at some point somebody said, come
- 32:27Speaker 5: to the skiff right now, and we're going to show
- 32:30Speaker 5: you what we didn't show you before because we were
- 32:32Speaker 5: afraid you were going to leak it to the Iranians
- 32:35Speaker 5: right there. So that's why this is what you get
- 32:37Speaker 5: from Tim Kaine, Mark Warner when it comes to we
- 32:45Speaker 5: have seen no credible intelligence, they all said it day one.
- 32:52Speaker 5: I mean that Saturday morning they were all out there
- 32:55Speaker 5: that you couldn't what's the expression of the most dangerous
- 32:58Speaker 5: place in Washington, d between Tim Kain and a camera.
- 33:07Speaker 5: So be that as it may. We were talking in
- 33:09Speaker 5: the last segment about the disproportionate amount of power that
- 33:13Speaker 5: has been levied in Washington, DC, and it begins with
- 33:17Speaker 5: the Civil War, and the reason the Civil War begins
- 33:22Speaker 5: it is prior to the Civil War the senators who
- 33:24Speaker 5: were chosen by the state governors, nominated by the state governors,
- 33:29Speaker 5: and then approved by the state legislatures, who were voted
- 33:34Speaker 5: in by the people. And there's a key point to
- 33:36Speaker 5: that in a second, because William Randolph Hurst, who was
- 33:42Speaker 5: the Mark Zuckerberg for the nineteenth and early twentieth century,
- 33:47Speaker 5: took to his profoundly large monopolistic media platform and in
- 33:54Speaker 5: all of his magazines and in all of his newspapers,
- 33:57Speaker 5: published editorial after editorial saying, the American people don't have
- 34:02Speaker 5: a voice in this US Senate of theirs. Who are
- 34:04Speaker 5: they to stop money coming from people who are friends
- 34:08Speaker 5: of mine. Well he didn't say that last bit, but
- 34:10Speaker 5: that was the implication, and the American people were like, yeah, Hey,
- 34:13Speaker 5: I don't get to vote for Senate when really they did,
- 34:18Speaker 5: but there wasn't talk radio and shows like this to
- 34:20Speaker 5: call William Randolph Hurst out for the lying rosebud that
- 34:24Speaker 5: he is. So he used his platform, his Facebook of
- 34:33Speaker 5: the day, which was Cosmopolitan magazine and pretty much at
- 34:38Speaker 5: least one newspaper in every major city in America to
- 34:41Speaker 5: flip the Senate into a popularly elected bunch of super regulators.
- 34:47Speaker 5: I mean, he's like vote industries. He's injected all these
- 34:51Speaker 5: people with their superpowers. What am I the only one
- 34:56Speaker 5: who's ever seen an episode of The Boys? It's trust me,
- 35:02Speaker 5: it's not your superhero. It's not your grandpa's superhero. If
- 35:06Speaker 5: you think Batman is too dark for you, don't watch
- 35:10Speaker 5: The Boys. Just don't do it. It takes the idea
- 35:15Speaker 5: of the X Men and puts it on his head, saying, well,
- 35:19Speaker 5: what if it wasn't just a mutation. What if there
- 35:21Speaker 5: was a company that found a way to inject people
- 35:25Speaker 5: with a serum that gave them superpowers and the corruption
- 35:31Speaker 5: that goes along with it. But after the Civil War,
- 35:39Speaker 5: we started doing things like taking the Senate away from
- 35:42Speaker 5: the States, and then we took taxation away from the states.
- 35:46Speaker 5: And this was why it was connected to the Civil
- 35:48Speaker 5: War because when the Southern States seceded, and this becomes
- 35:52Speaker 5: one of those third rail stories. So if you tell
- 35:55Speaker 5: the truth about the Civil War, yes, the states seceded
- 35:59Speaker 5: because they didn't want to have to give up slavery
- 36:02Speaker 5: as an economic driver. But the North invaded the South
- 36:08Speaker 5: because of tax revenue lost in that cessation. Because you'll
- 36:15Speaker 5: always get people saying, oh, the Civil War wasn't over slavery,
- 36:19Speaker 5: it was over taxation. No, it was over slavery and taxation.
- 36:24Speaker 5: If you're being honest, that's us. I am the being
- 36:31Speaker 5: and being honest. So they needed to fix it that
- 36:37Speaker 5: only we can't have this anymore. We can't have states
- 36:39Speaker 5: leaving with all of their tax revenue. So they passed
- 36:45Speaker 5: the sixteenth Amendment, sticking the government's hand right into your pocket.
- 36:49Speaker 5: And I used to as I read the Fifth Amendment
- 36:52Speaker 5: saying that the government can't take your property without due
- 36:57Speaker 5: process and with out explaining why. He said, how does
- 37:06Speaker 5: the sixteenth Amendment get to violate the And I had
- 37:10Speaker 5: a constitutional expert, Mark Fitzpatrick here of Virginia, explained it
- 37:14Speaker 5: to me. He said, well, what they did is they
- 37:17Speaker 5: take your property before it ever actually becomes your property,
- 37:21Speaker 5: I still think, and he thought I had a reasonable
- 37:24Speaker 5: He said it would be too expensive to fight it.
- 37:27Speaker 5: If I have already worked for that money that I'm
- 37:30Speaker 5: being paid by my employer, then it's already my property,
- 37:35Speaker 5: whether it's actually in my hands or not, because I've
- 37:39Speaker 5: already completed my part of the exchange for that compensation.
- 37:47Speaker 5: But these are the corruptions that have moved all this
- 37:50Speaker 5: power into Washington, and these are the things we need
- 37:53Speaker 5: to start moving back. Convention of States dot Com can

- 44:27Speaker 5: Where is the AI generated video of Eric Swaalwell dancing
- 44:31Speaker 5: to this? You know want to see him getting this?
- 44:37Speaker 24: Noh?
- 44:38Speaker 5: Just you know with the girls. You know kneeling and
- 44:40Speaker 5: they don't have to look like any of those who
- 44:42Speaker 5: are accusing him of anything. But it's it's interesting, you
- 44:47Speaker 5: know when you read in between the lines of people's
- 44:50Speaker 5: statements and there have been no allegations, you know, you
- 44:56Speaker 5: gotta and I guess this is what happened to us
- 44:58Speaker 5: post Clinton, because you know, his defense of his lies
- 45:03Speaker 5: under oath regarding Monica Lewinsky in the affair they had had. Well,
- 45:09Speaker 5: you got to understand where I grew up in Hope, Arkansas.
- 45:12Speaker 5: My mother had to run a little side business and
- 45:16Speaker 5: you know, and well, well I just never grew up
- 45:19Speaker 5: thinking that what we were doing was considered sexual relations.
- 45:23Speaker 5: I mean, what is it? Just the way you leave it, tip,
- 45:27Speaker 5: I never quite got that. And you know, we were
- 45:34Speaker 5: talking a little bit about how President Trump is unique
- 45:39Speaker 5: these days, and kareem asked there's an event I mentioned
- 45:45Speaker 5: that Mike Johnson is coming to Harrisonburg for a redistricting
- 45:51Speaker 5: and anti redistricting rally with Congressman like Ben Klein, leaders
- 45:59Speaker 5: in Virginia of the no Jerry Muss. There are two
- 46:03Speaker 5: groups that are really pushing this and they really need
- 46:05Speaker 5: to marshal their herd together. There's one that's led by
- 46:10Speaker 5: the former Attorney General Jason Yaris and former House Minority
- 46:15Speaker 5: Leader Eric Canter, And the other one is led by
- 46:20Speaker 5: the people who got the Constitutional Amendment passed in the
- 46:22Speaker 5: first place. You've heard them here on the show. Former
- 46:25Speaker 5: Governor George Allen, Chad Peterson, Virginia Senator who voted for
- 46:29Speaker 5: it when he was still before the Democrats ran him
- 46:32Speaker 5: out of his own party, and Brian Cannon, who's also
- 46:36Speaker 5: a Democrat, but one that is an exemplar of what
- 46:40Speaker 5: I used to be able to find being a conservative.
- 46:42Speaker 5: I can say to a Democrat, well, hey, you think
- 46:47Speaker 5: healthcare is too expensive? So do I here's my idea,
- 46:52Speaker 5: what's yours? And I don't know. Somewhere during the Obama
- 46:56Speaker 5: administration that stopped being a thing you no longer got
- 47:03Speaker 5: to unless, wow, you're just here from the other party.
- 47:07Speaker 5: So Kareem asked if I was going to this event
- 47:11Speaker 5: and I have been invited to it in Harrisonburg, and
- 47:15Speaker 5: he said, would I interview the attendees and I might
- 47:18Speaker 5: get a chance to You never know, but many of
- 47:21Speaker 5: these rally events are kind of set up their barnstorming.
- 47:26Speaker 5: So the excuse is, sorry, we've got to get to
- 47:28Speaker 5: six other cities no time. Thanks you know, I can't
- 47:32Speaker 5: hear you over the helicopter. And thanks Mike. And you
- 47:36Speaker 5: never get a chance to ask any do any Q
- 47:39Speaker 5: and A with somebody like Mike Johnson. It's how Abigail
- 47:48Speaker 5: Spanberger got passed even the Democrats in Virginia and convinced
- 47:54Speaker 5: many centrist Republicans or people who identify as independent, people
- 47:58Speaker 5: who are like, you know what, I'm just gonna pay
- 48:00Speaker 5: the candidate I like the best. And that's what it is.
- 48:03Speaker 5: As much as we make this all about public policy
- 48:05Speaker 5: and stuff, it's who comes across more likable. There was
- 48:12Speaker 5: an old expression in baseball, and this goes back to
- 48:15Speaker 5: Yogi Bera, the ex catcher for the Yankees in their
- 48:20Speaker 5: glory days and well their second round of glory days.
- 48:24Speaker 5: The first round it was Bill Dickey, and the second
- 48:26Speaker 5: round of glorid is it was Yogi Perra. Then he
- 48:31Speaker 5: became their manager, and I think it was once he
- 48:34Speaker 5: became their manager, somebody asked him about how do you
- 48:39Speaker 5: win a championship and he said, well, you're going to
- 48:42Speaker 5: in baseball anyway, you're going to win one third of
- 48:46Speaker 5: all the games you play. No matter what, and you're
- 48:49Speaker 5: going to win, You're going to lose one third of
- 48:52Speaker 5: the games you play, no matter what. And you see
- 48:56Speaker 5: these scores of these I mean it's nineteen nothing, it's
- 48:59Speaker 5: you know, twelve one on. You know, like this team
- 49:01Speaker 5: was just out of it from the start. He said,
- 49:05Speaker 5: it's what you do with the other third of your
- 49:08Speaker 5: games that determines whether you're a champion or and also
- 49:13Speaker 5: ran and politics is much the same way. It's been
- 49:18Speaker 5: my experience that a politician is going to get one
- 49:23Speaker 5: third of the votes. And maybe this is unique to Virginia.
- 49:26Speaker 5: I don't know if it's this way where you are.
- 49:30Speaker 5: It appears that it's becoming less and less likely to
- 49:37Speaker 5: be this way because of jerry mandering and things like that.
- 49:41Speaker 5: But if you have as fair as a district that's
- 49:45Speaker 5: eight hundred thousand people large can be a politician is
- 49:51Speaker 5: going to get a third of the votes, and a
- 49:54Speaker 5: politician is going to lose a third of the votes.
- 49:57Speaker 5: Their opponent's going to get the third it's who wins
- 50:01Speaker 5: that tersham quid, that third batch. That's the key, that's
- 50:10Speaker 5: where the win and the loss happens. Because there's you know,
- 50:15Speaker 5: the hardcore they politicians like to call it the base third,
- 50:20Speaker 5: and then you know each party has that and then
- 50:23Speaker 5: that middle, that persuadable middle, is often where it is
- 50:29Speaker 5: where a race is won and lost. And that's what
- 50:32Speaker 5: a lot of people forget in these congressional races. They
- 50:35Speaker 5: just say, I have endorsed I have been endorsed by Trump. Okay,
- 50:40Speaker 5: win the undecideds in the middle, because otherwise the political
- 50:49Speaker 5: parties are going to become just as useless as the
- 50:52Speaker 5: Congress people that are being elected from them. Because Congress,
- 50:55Speaker 5: all Congress seems to be able to do is hold
- 51:00Speaker 5: press conferences and threaten to impeach Trump. Now give Hakeem
- 51:04Speaker 5: Jeffries the keys to the candy shop, and I will
- 51:08Speaker 5: tell you that this Congress is Congress will spend all
- 51:12Speaker 5: of its time impeaching Donald Trump. They won't do anything else.
- 51:17Speaker 5: They won't make anything more affordable anymore so than Abigail
- 51:20Speaker 5: Spanberger did here in Virginia, or Gavin Newsom did in California,
- 51:25Speaker 5: or JB. Pritzker did in Illinois. They'll say they did.
- 51:29Speaker 5: They'll come up with a program that if you fill
- 51:31Speaker 5: out the right form in the right way and the
- 51:33Speaker 5: right color and don't color outside the lines. You might
- 51:36Speaker 5: see a little something to help make things affordable subsidence,
- 51:42Speaker 5: but nobody will query you on it because everything is Hey,
- 51:45Speaker 5: we got to make it to another rally, so.
- 51:47Speaker 22: Love to take questions, thank you very much. Can't hear
- 51:49Speaker 22: you over the helicopter by.
- 51:59Speaker 5: Because it's about packaging. It's like asking the owner of
- 52:03Speaker 5: McDonald's about pink goo that was discovered in the manufacturing
- 52:10Speaker 5: of the burger patties. Sorry, I can't hear you, helicopter plays.
- 52:17Speaker 5: I get hear you say, well, I'd love to answer
- 52:18Speaker 5: your question by because it's all a sales campaign, a joke,
- 52:26Speaker 5: a Marcaltine campaign, so my favorite Maddy Python skits a joke,
- 52:35Speaker 5: a sales campaign. Oh wow, that's much different then just
- 52:41Speaker 5: trying to unspin the spin for you this morning. We'll
- 52:44Speaker 5: do it again for Saturday morning, back for Jefferson's birthday
- 52:47Speaker 5: on Monday. Until then, so long and thanks for all
