- 0:04Speaker 1: Congress is the love jall give you one of my
- 0:07Speaker 1: own favorite.
- 0:08Speaker 2: Patients of advice making mornings great again. First Thing Today
- 0:12Speaker 2: on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 0:15Speaker 1: If you're going through hell, keep going.
- 0:41Speaker 3: I always love David McCallum on ncis you know in
- 0:46Speaker 3: the pantheon of corners, I mean, you've got Quincy Jack Klugman,
- 0:51Speaker 3: priceless as Quincy. But I think if you're going to
- 0:57Speaker 3: make any hay out of a postal action day autopsy,
- 1:02Speaker 3: you need you need clips of David McCallum as perhaps
- 1:07Speaker 3: the greatest corner in the entertainment spectrum. I mean, there
- 1:13Speaker 3: are great, you know, instances where a coroner shows up,
- 1:17Speaker 3: but you rarely get a coroner as a regular character.
- 1:23Speaker 3: And so as I felt the urge this morning, as
- 1:26Speaker 3: we are here to perform the autopsy on yesterday's election results.
- 1:32Speaker 4: That stop. Stop.
- 1:35Speaker 3: If you're an habitual user of this program, you should
- 1:39Speaker 3: expect nothing else from me, because, as David McCollum said,
- 1:44Speaker 3: when you're going through hell, keep going. And I get
- 1:50Speaker 3: this all the time. It was I can't count how
- 1:53Speaker 3: many times have arrived at the studio to begin a
- 1:57Speaker 3: program at five am with people's saying, how in the
- 2:00Speaker 3: world can you even open your cake hole, Joe?
- 2:04Speaker 4: And those are the people who like me. How dare you?
- 2:08Speaker 3: You need to take six months and go hide and
- 2:11Speaker 3: let us listen to Martha Stewart reruns in the morning.
- 2:15Speaker 4: How dare you?
- 2:17Speaker 3: Oh, nothing I said yesterday is any less true than
- 2:21Speaker 3: it is today. The reason a representative republic works is
- 2:28Speaker 3: because you have protections from the whims and whimsies of
- 2:31Speaker 3: an election, that there are rules of law. Now, our
- 2:36Speaker 3: challenge as we go forward towards the midterms is that
- 2:43Speaker 3: one political party has shown a breakneck ability to completely
- 2:51Speaker 3: ignore the rules, and when challenged about that, will simply
- 2:56Speaker 3: shrug and say so, we'll see you in court, and
- 3:02Speaker 3: they'll show up with eighteen lawyers each making five thousand
- 3:06Speaker 3: dollars an hour, and they'll take the judge out to lunch,
- 3:14Speaker 3: and they'll do all sorts of shenanigans to circumvent.
- 3:20Speaker 4: The air vent and try to win.
- 3:26Speaker 3: But nothing, nothing that you and I have done on
- 3:29Speaker 3: the radio has changed one iota since yesterday. There have
- 3:34Speaker 3: been a lot of election results since yesterday, and we
- 3:37Speaker 3: will chronicle them here on the radio program. That tells
- 3:41Speaker 3: you what went on, I'll tell you what we see
- 3:43Speaker 3: in between the lines of what went on, and then
- 3:46Speaker 3: I want to hear from you still, yes, even still
- 3:49Speaker 3: today at four, three, four, eight eight, two four to
- 3:52Speaker 3: two one seven. Election night saw the Democrat Party score
- 3:56Speaker 3: sweeping wins in Virginia and New Jersey and New York
- 3:59Speaker 3: City in California. As Abigail Spanberger and Mikey Cheryl won
- 4:03Speaker 3: those respective gubernatorial races, both will also have massive advantages
- 4:09Speaker 3: in their legislature. In Virginia, Democrats flipped thirteen House seats
- 4:14Speaker 3: and in New Jersey they took three new seats. Zorhan
- 4:18Speaker 3: Mamdani is the mayor of New York, getting to fifty
- 4:21Speaker 3: percent of the vote despite it being a three way battle.
- 4:25Speaker 3: And in California, Prop fifty passed sixty four to thirty six,
- 4:30Speaker 3: paving the way for the Assembly to redraw the state's
- 4:33Speaker 3: congressional districts. President Donald Trump took to social media truth
- 4:39Speaker 3: Social on Tuesday night to weigh in on the losses
- 4:42Speaker 3: the Republican Party suffered in the elections. Quote Trump wasn't
- 4:47Speaker 3: on the ballot and shut down were the two reasons
- 4:50Speaker 3: that Republicans lost elections tonight.
- 4:53Speaker 4: According to the.
- 4:54Speaker 3: Pollsters, he wrote, shortly after the races were called in
- 4:58Speaker 3: New York, New Jersey, Virginia. The White House Tuesday issued
- 5:03Speaker 3: a statement clarifying what the Trump administration is fully complying
- 5:08Speaker 3: with a recent court order to use emergency funds to
- 5:11Speaker 3: keep Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program benefits from lapsing during the
- 5:16Speaker 3: ongoing government shutdown. He is the President inviting Republican Senators
- 5:22Speaker 3: to a breakfast meeting at the White House today. The
- 5:25Speaker 3: gathering comes amid pressure on the lawmakers, as this is
- 5:29Speaker 3: now the longest shut down in US history, marking thirty
- 5:33Speaker 3: six days, a day longer than the longest shutdown during
- 5:36Speaker 3: the first Trump administration. US Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy warned
- 5:43Speaker 3: Tuesday that if the shutdown continues another week, it could
- 5:47Speaker 3: lead to mass chaos and could force him to close
- 5:50Speaker 3: some of the national airspace to air traffic. Duffy said,
- 5:55Speaker 3: if you bring us to a week from today, Democrats
- 5:58Speaker 3: who will see mass chaos. You'll see mass flight delays,
- 6:01Speaker 3: You'll see mass cancelations, and you may see us close
- 6:04Speaker 3: certain parts of airspace because we just cannot manage it.
- 6:09Speaker 3: Secretary of War Pete Hegsith reported that US forces conducted
- 6:13Speaker 3: another military strike in the Eastern Pacific, targeting a vessel
- 6:18Speaker 3: suspected of drug trafficking, killing two individuals described as Narco terrorists,
- 6:24Speaker 3: and a ups plane crash shortly after five pm in Louisville,
- 6:29Speaker 3: Kentucky after an airplane after one of the airplane's engines
- 6:34Speaker 3: fell off. At Fishburn Military School, there's no hiding here.

- 6:44Speaker 3: believe in structure, brotherhood and unlocking potential. Whether your son

- 8:03Speaker 7: Considered by most Optimized curcumin is one of the few
- 8:07Speaker 7: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
- 8:13Speaker 7: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
- 8:18Speaker 7: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
- 8:22Speaker 7: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
- 8:26Speaker 7: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:31Speaker 7: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:36Speaker 7: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 7: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 7: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:50Speaker 7: healthy cells even from radiation. Total Wellness dot com where

- 10:01Speaker 9: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
- 10:03Speaker 9: with animals. I'm not only in alle of their beauty
- 10:05Speaker 9: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
- 10:08Speaker 9: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
- 10:11Speaker 9: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young
- 10:14Speaker 9: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
- 10:17Speaker 9: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
- 10:20Speaker 9: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
- 10:22Speaker 9: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
- 10:25Speaker 9: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
- 10:28Speaker 9: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
- 10:32Speaker 9: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
- 10:35Speaker 9: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
- 10:37Speaker 9: whom suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
- 10:41Speaker 9: when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
- 10:43Speaker 9: have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
- 10:46Speaker 9: society and help those in need. So please join me

- 11:10Speaker 11: art and brain.
- 11:12Speaker 1: Who's with me?
- 11:13Speaker 10: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
- 11:15Speaker 10: brain is saying when it's time to go home.

- 12:32Speaker 15: to notice when a veteran you love has been going
- 12:35Speaker 15: through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased anger

- 13:08Speaker 16: Absolutely from the home of the First Amendment, first thing today.
- 13:31Speaker 3: So as we begin the autopsy of the well I
- 13:35Speaker 3: don't know, post mortem seems so everyone understands autopsy as
- 13:41Speaker 3: the as election twenty twenty five lays on the slab.
- 13:48Speaker 3: Remember when one of my oldest friends went through the
- 13:52Speaker 3: New York City Police Academy and he came home from
- 13:54Speaker 3: one particular day of classes and said, I've come to
- 13:58Speaker 3: a realization.
- 13:59Speaker 4: As he popped up over a.
- 14:00Speaker 3: Perhaps blue ribbon beer kroschron Park, he said, death is
- 14:06Speaker 3: a canoe. So as we as we start to go
- 14:12Speaker 3: through one of the most glaring points of last night's
- 14:17Speaker 3: election is Republican turnout and Democrat turnout. Turnout is the thing,
- 14:27Speaker 3: and this is one of the most dire points that
- 14:33Speaker 3: as I said at the onset of the program, nothing
- 14:36Speaker 3: has changed. Democracy, or as we like to pronounce it here,
- 14:40Speaker 3: democratcy is a dangerous weapon, voting for your self interest.
- 14:48Speaker 3: When sixty percent of a state or a community or
- 14:54Speaker 3: less turns out for an election, that it means thirty
- 15:00Speaker 3: percent or twenty five percent or twenty percent gets to
- 15:05Speaker 3: dictate to the remainders. And I'm not taking the side
- 15:10Speaker 3: of those who stayed home from the election. And in Virginia,
- 15:14Speaker 3: I heard from tons of people who over the entire
- 15:17Speaker 3: time of the election, and I tried to encourage people
- 15:21Speaker 3: to get past the whole. The best analogy I can
- 15:26Speaker 3: give is, this wasn't the ticket from Central casting they wanted.
- 15:31Speaker 3: I don't know what they wanted. They didn't elaborate, but
- 15:34Speaker 3: many people were like, oh, why didn't? And I find
- 15:38Speaker 3: this interesting because you know, depending on what the outcomes are,
- 15:45Speaker 3: many citizens will either alternately complain about backroom deals and
- 15:51Speaker 3: smoke filled rooms picking candidates, or why didn't the smoke
- 15:58Speaker 3: filled room pick.
- 15:59Speaker 4: A better candidate? He can't win?
- 16:01Speaker 3: Candyates, It's either damn the smoke filed room for picking
- 16:05Speaker 3: a candidate, and I don't like it too. Why did
- 16:07Speaker 3: the smokefield room pick such a bad candidate. And like
- 16:11Speaker 3: I said, yeah, victory has many.
- 16:18Speaker 4: Parents.
- 16:19Speaker 3: Defeat is an orphan, But boy, defeat has a whole
- 16:23Speaker 3: lot of cousins out there saying what's wrong. And some
- 16:32Speaker 3: of it still is rooted in an old infection of
- 16:38Speaker 3: Donald trump Ism. Now, no, no, I'm not blaming President Trump.
- 16:46Speaker 3: He conducts himself the way he sees fit. There are
- 16:51Speaker 3: many Republicans who have never approved.
- 16:57Speaker 4: Of that.
- 16:59Speaker 3: Have never felt like this was what their party was,
- 17:03Speaker 3: as if it was somehow the elected officials party and
- 17:07Speaker 3: not the voters. And again that does Billie, doesn't it
- 17:11Speaker 3: a little bit of an arrogance towards a potential office
- 17:15Speaker 3: holder too? This is my office, not the voters, but
- 17:25Speaker 3: many of them, the honest ones, like the Rick Wilson's
- 17:28Speaker 3: of the world and the Adam kin Kinsingers. And again
- 17:33Speaker 3: with the thoughts and prayers of someone who has lost
- 17:37Speaker 3: my father and lost him to illness, not in a
- 17:41Speaker 3: dramatic fashion, but I didn't get to be there with him.
- 17:44Speaker 3: I can only hope that Liz Cheney and her family
- 17:47Speaker 3: were able to be with Dick before he passed. Liz
- 17:51Speaker 3: Cheney another of those who couldn't stand being in a
- 17:55Speaker 3: political party with Donald Trump. Her dad may rest in
- 17:58Speaker 3: peace also amongst those folks. So I'm not making up
- 18:03Speaker 3: people who have since twenty sixteen and the Elevator Press
- 18:08Speaker 3: Conference Escalator Press Conference, have seen Donald Trump is anything
- 18:13Speaker 3: other than a usurper, perhaps even a berserker, who's come
- 18:19Speaker 3: in and rent their party asunder carefully crafted to be
- 18:25Speaker 3: a profitable machine of outsider complaint and harsh criticism of
- 18:33Speaker 3: the status quo.
- 18:35Speaker 4: Born.
- 18:36Speaker 3: I believe of the fifty five years that they spent
- 18:41Speaker 3: in the wilderness in between the two times they've held
- 18:46Speaker 3: majority in Washington politics, in between the forties and the nineties,
- 18:55Speaker 3: it wasn't since the end of World War Two had
- 18:58Speaker 3: the Republicans had majority in Congress until Newt Gingrich and
- 19:04Speaker 3: the Contract with America People, and understand the Contract with
- 19:08Speaker 3: America People were a midterm election, so midterm overthrow after
- 19:19Speaker 3: Bill Clinton was elected in nineteen ninety two, and they
- 19:25Speaker 3: were ousted pretty quickly after that because they didn't do
- 19:31Speaker 3: the things they said they were going to do. Here
- 19:34Speaker 3: in lies the peril, whether you're in New York, New Jersey, Virginia, California,
- 19:40Speaker 3: is that promises are easily made. What is the line
- 19:44Speaker 3: from Mary Poppins, It's a pie crust promise, easily made,
- 19:48Speaker 3: easily broken. They will never own up to breaking it.
- 19:52Speaker 3: They'll blame somebody else. I love it when New Yorkers
- 19:57Speaker 3: blame Republican. Where's the Republican majority of is?
- 20:05Speaker 2: Oh?
- 20:05Speaker 4: They held it up.
- 20:06Speaker 3: And that's a message though, because Republicans can and what
- 20:10Speaker 3: Republicans in elected office, any of them that might be listening,
- 20:14Speaker 3: and you should be encouraging Republicans still remaining in.
- 20:19Speaker 4: Elected office to school up on.
- 20:23Speaker 3: How the Democrats operate when they have been forced into
- 20:28Speaker 3: the minority. School up on how Hakeem Jeffries or Nancy
- 20:35Speaker 3: Pelosi manages to still seem like they have some sway
- 20:40Speaker 3: over the government by using parliamentary procedure, by using every
- 20:47Speaker 3: different little eddy and current in code that conducts how
- 20:51Speaker 3: the government operates. Because we still have the rule book
- 20:58Speaker 3: of a representative republic, like even if one political party
- 21:02Speaker 3: seems hell bent to legislate, like what rule book were
- 21:07Speaker 3: in Charge's.
- 21:08Speaker 4: Good to be the king.
- 21:12Speaker 3: We need to find and fund and support every NGO
- 21:17Speaker 3: and every nonprofit legal firm that's out there defending things
- 21:22Speaker 3: like Second amendment rights and property ownership rights, because those
- 21:28Speaker 3: are going to be very important to defend because there
- 21:31Speaker 3: will be abuses and usurpations, and one we must be
- 21:39Speaker 3: ready to defend the constitutional rights and we'll have to
- 21:46Speaker 3: do it in court in many cases. So go find
- 21:50Speaker 3: those legal centers, the Founding Freedom's Law Center and the
- 21:55Speaker 3: America First Legal Center and all those folks who are
- 21:58Speaker 3: out defending rights in court.

- 28:12Speaker 2: For you from Joe Thomas, It's first thing today.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Thank you for joining us on this Ted's d morning.
- 28:36Speaker 3: I know many of you put on your radio saying
- 28:38Speaker 3: is he still going to be there?
- 28:40Speaker 16: Oh?
- 28:41Speaker 4: You know, believe me.
- 28:42Speaker 3: You know when you do what I do, days like
- 28:46Speaker 3: this fill you with this. But I mean, there are
- 28:47Speaker 3: so many existential things that are happening behind the scenes.
- 28:52Speaker 3: Joe Thomas in the Morning incorporated Thomas Media, uh and
- 28:56Speaker 3: first thing Today. God bless Josh and everyone in a
- 29:00Speaker 3: talk media network. The one semblance of my world that
- 29:05Speaker 3: isn't behind the scenes perilously teetering. Our flagship station is
- 29:13Speaker 3: having to move from its transmitter tower, and everything was
- 29:17Speaker 3: going along. The volunteers. It was like a Chaucer novel.
- 29:23Speaker 3: Everyone who is jumping in saying I'll help, I'll help.
- 29:26Speaker 4: And we had so.
- 29:27Speaker 3: Many people and they are they're almost almost volunteering their
- 29:32Speaker 3: time to help us conduct what most businesses find a
- 29:36Speaker 3: terminal activity, moving from one transmitter tower to another, finding
- 29:43Speaker 3: another transmitter tower. Most people, I mean, if you were
- 29:45Speaker 3: faced with building one, you just sign off. Most AM
- 29:50Speaker 3: radio stations would do that, even though technology has moved.
- 29:54Speaker 3: And the point of why I'm saying this is is
- 29:57Speaker 3: all of this stuff is going on behind the scenes
- 30:01Speaker 3: here where I sit, and I have had these moments
- 30:04Speaker 3: and I'm sure you're having them as well, where you
- 30:06Speaker 3: stare out into space and you wonder.
- 30:09Speaker 4: What are we going to do?
- 30:11Speaker 3: And you pray, you say, can you give me a sign,
- 30:16Speaker 3: can show me where the shovel is, and I'll start digging.
- 30:22Speaker 3: And those moments they come, and all of a sudden
- 30:25Speaker 3: you're like, yeah, you know what it's going to happen.
- 30:28Speaker 3: The sun is going to Joe, go back and listen
- 30:31Speaker 3: to the recordings of your own damn program. The sun
- 30:35Speaker 3: rises in the same spot, albeit an hour an hour
- 30:39Speaker 3: later that it did last week at this time, but
- 30:44Speaker 3: it's rising in the ostensibly the same spot in the horizon.
- 30:52Speaker 3: Go back to our chat with the professor of the
- 30:55Speaker 3: Harvard professor who wrote the book The Golden Thread really
- 31:00Speaker 3: bringing Western civilization back, and you read it and it's
- 31:03Speaker 3: a reminder that we are nowhere near the collapse of
- 31:07Speaker 3: Western civilization.
- 31:08Speaker 4: Now.
- 31:10Speaker 3: What we do need to be steeled for are the
- 31:13Speaker 3: creation of all of these imaginary rights, government rights, the
- 31:19Speaker 3: right to housing, the right to healthcare, the right to groceries.
- 31:25Speaker 3: All of these things are what led to the sweeping
- 31:32Speaker 3: victories of the progressive Democrats, the Islamist the folks who
- 31:44Speaker 3: funded Zorhan Mamdani and Gazalahshmi's campaigns in Virginia and New
- 31:50Speaker 3: York City. The ones who want to promote the idea
- 31:56Speaker 3: of secondary or tertiary Sharia courts that would circumvent US
- 32:03Speaker 3: law where the Muslim community was involved. Those kind of things,
- 32:09Speaker 3: they're there, and they're really there, and they have to
- 32:12Speaker 3: be fought at every moment. This is why the remaining
- 32:16Speaker 3: Republicans in these houses need to begin schooling up on
- 32:24Speaker 3: the parliamentary procedures that they can use to hang these
- 32:27Speaker 3: things up. And as I said in the last segment,
- 32:30Speaker 3: we need to be finding all those nonprofit legal firms,
- 32:35Speaker 3: whether it be the Pacific Research Institute, you know what.
- 32:42Speaker 3: During the off times while I'm still trying to figure
- 32:45Speaker 3: out the process of getting onto the new transmitter, we
- 32:47Speaker 3: need to be working on a list.
- 32:49Speaker 4: We should.
- 32:50Speaker 3: We should put up a list of these law firms,
- 32:52Speaker 3: the ones that defend your gun rights, or your your
- 32:57Speaker 3: pregnancy rights, and your property or as They are all there.
- 33:01Speaker 3: And we've interviewed so many of these folks, and some
- 33:04Speaker 3: of them just pop off the top of my head,
- 33:06Speaker 3: like the founding Freedom's Legal Center at the Family Foundation
- 33:12Speaker 3: and the First freedoms. That's another one. Yeah, that's right.
- 33:14Speaker 3: First Freedom's Legal Center. They all work for your case
- 33:18Speaker 3: pro bono, whether it's a baker in Colorado doesn't want
- 33:23Speaker 3: to make a gay pride cake and the government.
- 33:26Speaker 4: Says we can make you and they win.
- 33:30Speaker 3: It takes a while, but you need these law firms
- 33:32Speaker 3: ready to stand at your back. The Rutherford Institute in
- 33:37Speaker 3: Charlottesville here with us headed by PAULA. Jones, old lawyer
- 33:43Speaker 3: John Whitehead and his team there talking about First Amendment rights,
- 33:48Speaker 3: rights to association, rights to free speech. These are going
- 33:54Speaker 3: to be the tools that we need to scabbard and
- 33:58Speaker 3: be ready to wield because we can't just turn to
- 34:02Speaker 3: elected officials. And as a tangent, nor should we always
- 34:07Speaker 3: be turning to elected officials.
- 34:10Speaker 4: I think you've heard me say that before too.
- 34:14Speaker 3: But these law firms need to be funded and with
- 34:18Speaker 3: apologies to the Republican Party and think tanks around the world,
- 34:23Speaker 3: and we will we will. I notice my inbox is
- 34:26Speaker 3: full of stuff about Kevin Roberts because the echo chamber
- 34:29Speaker 3: is working that voodoo that it do so well.
- 34:33Speaker 4: We've got people who.
- 34:34Speaker 3: Are commenting on things that Kevin Roberts never said quitting
- 34:40Speaker 3: because Kevin Roberts said something he never said because I
- 34:44Speaker 3: heard it on the grapevine. But we need to find
- 34:51Speaker 3: those legal firms that will defend the real rights because
- 34:55Speaker 3: the zorhand Ma Maamdani's and the Kazala Hashmis and the
- 35:00Speaker 3: Abigail Spanberger's and the Mikey Cheryls of the world are
- 35:03Speaker 3: going to trust try to write in new rights. We
- 35:07Speaker 3: are a post constitutional America. They will tell you we
- 35:12Speaker 3: need a country because and here's why the math adds up.
- 35:16Speaker 3: The math is important. And the Republicans that didn't engage
- 35:22Speaker 3: in Virginia or New Jersey, even New York, I'm sure
- 35:32Speaker 3: there were reasons you didn't feel like this was important.
- 35:37Speaker 3: Too many people say, oh, Trump will fix it. I
- 35:44Speaker 3: for one, am not a fan of a country where
- 35:46Speaker 3: the president can fix all of our problems with the
- 35:50Speaker 3: swipe of a pen or the stamp of a stamp,
- 35:54Speaker 3: because at some point there'll be another person at the
- 35:57Speaker 3: resolute desk, and what will they be stamping. This is
- 36:04Speaker 3: why you know I'll be critical of guys like Chairman
- 36:08Speaker 3: Carr at the Federal Communications Commission for being dead wrong
- 36:12Speaker 3: on broadcast licenses, because at some point there might be
- 36:16Speaker 3: a Democrat behind the resolute desk and a Democrat appointing
- 36:19Speaker 3: the chair of the FCC who will say, you know what, yeah, yeah,
- 36:24Speaker 3: we do decide who gets broadcast licenses, and we're gonna
- 36:27Speaker 3: go after all the people who put this talk media
- 36:30Speaker 3: network on their signals they could. This is why, as
- 36:40Speaker 3: Ben Franklin said, they gave us a republic if we
- 36:43Speaker 3: could keep it, and we haven't lost it. Last night
- 36:46Speaker 3: at election night, we fumbled it on the five yard line,
- 36:52Speaker 3: and now it's up to our defense to get in
- 36:55Speaker 3: the game and get the ball back for us. This
- 36:59Speaker 3: is what I am saying. We need to make sure
- 37:02Speaker 3: these law firms that defend our rights, because they'll come
- 37:05Speaker 3: for them. They will come for them. I'm not going
- 37:08Speaker 3: to sugarcoat that. Sure, I can play the Pollyanna and
- 37:12Speaker 3: have some fun and play clips of David McCallum as
- 37:15Speaker 3: Ducky on NCIS and make jokes about doing autopsies, but
- 37:21Speaker 3: the real reason to do this is a so you
- 37:24Speaker 3: get up and get into the game again. These are
- 37:27Speaker 3: the lessons why I always say baseball is such a
- 37:30Speaker 3: great sport to learn. Because Okay, we had a bad inning,
- 37:34Speaker 3: our pitcher got lit up. We just they put a
- 37:39Speaker 3: crooked number up in their last at bat. Now it's
- 37:42Speaker 3: our turn, grab a bat, get a helmet, and get
- 37:46Speaker 3: ready to try to do the same thing as we
- 37:53Speaker 3: had to break. I'm reminded of the sage advice I
- 37:56Speaker 3: give my kids all the time. Life's rough, get a helmet.
- 38:01Speaker 20: At Hotshot Secret we share the science behind common diesel
- 38:04Speaker 20: problems in their solutions.

- 44:42Speaker 3: Reminder of why you don't take elections off. You don't

- 45:17Speaker 3: about why certain people didn't want to support Winsome Earl Sears.
- 45:26Speaker 3: Because Republicans virtue signal just as much as Democrats do.
- 45:30Speaker 3: They just don't like to talk about it. And they'll
- 45:33Speaker 3: get inflamed if you happen to say, oh, it was
- 45:36Speaker 3: fine to vote for her for lieutenant governor. And I'm
- 45:40Speaker 3: looking at the vote totals. She got way more votes
- 45:43Speaker 3: for lieutenant governor than she got for governor. And there
- 45:47Speaker 3: are reasons, and I think you can imply or at
- 45:51Speaker 3: least infer the reasons. But the courts of law are
- 46:00Speaker 3: supposed to be where we go for our injunctive relief
- 46:03Speaker 3: against governments that abuse their authority, whether it's Frank Serpico
- 46:09Speaker 3: or you name it. Wherever you need to go, the
- 46:11Speaker 3: court is supposed to be there to be an arbiter.
- 46:16Speaker 3: And we have chronicled this creative use of.
- 46:21Speaker 16: Wow.
- 46:23Speaker 3: I call it malpractice, but they like to refer to
- 46:27Speaker 3: it as judgment, as prosecutorial judgment. And we told you
- 46:37Speaker 3: the story at the end of last week of the
- 46:40Speaker 3: clerks of court in Virginia. While we report and we
- 46:43Speaker 3: see sixty four percent of Californians voted in favor of
- 46:49Speaker 3: giving the legislature an opportunity to redraw California's congressional districts,
- 46:54Speaker 3: Virginia has to do the process almost backwards, instead of
- 46:58Speaker 3: going to the voters first, go to the voter's last.
- 47:02Speaker 3: But there has to be an intervening election, and the
- 47:06Speaker 3: Virginia General Assembly was trying to claim that yesterday was
- 47:11Speaker 3: that intervening election, even though they had proposed a constitutional
- 47:15Speaker 3: amendment barely days before the election. So some clerks of
- 47:20Speaker 3: the court, realizing that they would be forced to break
- 47:24Speaker 3: the law if the General Assembly was allowed to do this,
- 47:31Speaker 3: went to a court and said, your honor, we can't
- 47:34Speaker 3: be forced to break one law by the application of another,
- 47:42Speaker 3: regardless of whether or not the General Assembly actually had
- 47:45Speaker 3: the authority to do this. And two Republican appointed judges
- 47:52Speaker 3: recused themselves from the case for whatever their reasons may be,
- 48:00Speaker 3: leaving the case in front of a judge that was
- 48:03Speaker 3: appointed by a Democrat who Since many of you asked
- 48:08Speaker 3: what happened to that clerk's case on the redistricting in Virginia,
- 48:12Speaker 3: it was thrown out. It was thrown out from one
- 48:15Speaker 3: of the classic hits of democrat jurisprudence. You don't have standing,
- 48:24Speaker 3: And and I'm who was there was the female character
- 48:28Speaker 3: in the old Dilbert cartoons. Every time Dilbert would do something,
- 48:32Speaker 3: or the pinheaded boss the point it had a boss
- 48:35Speaker 3: would do something, she would stand there and frame.
- 48:38Speaker 4: Must control fists of death.
- 48:42Speaker 3: I just remember those cartoons, and I would cut one
- 48:44Speaker 3: out and stick it up in my office and the restaurant.
- 48:46Speaker 4: I ran, must control.
- 48:49Speaker 3: Fists of death because every time one of these clowns
- 48:54Speaker 3: and gowns, and I say that with all due respect.
- 48:58Speaker 4: It's my favorite phrases.
- 48:59Speaker 3: With all due respect, Well what does that mean. It
- 49:02Speaker 3: means whatever respect you're due, I'm going to give you.
- 49:06Speaker 3: And I'm sure my friends who are trying to win
- 49:08Speaker 3: this case in court are grabbing phones right now saying
- 49:11Speaker 3: please shut up, please shut up, Please shut up right now, Joe,
- 49:14Speaker 3: please shut up. But I'm not going to because this
- 49:17Speaker 3: is another instance where we need to be ready to
- 49:22Speaker 3: fight all the way to the Supreme Court on things.
- 49:27Speaker 3: So this clown in a gown decided that the clerks
- 49:31Speaker 3: of court who will be forced to break the law
- 49:33Speaker 3: because of another law written And imagine yourself not an
- 49:38Speaker 3: elected clerk of the court of your county. But let's
- 49:42Speaker 3: say you were about to be forced to break one
- 49:45Speaker 3: law based on another law's application, and you went to
- 49:49Speaker 3: a judge and said, your honor, I'm about to be
- 49:51Speaker 3: forced to break the law. Please make them stop. And
- 49:56Speaker 3: the judge looks down from his cartoonish throne and says,
- 50:02Speaker 3: you don't have standing to ask me that when you're
- 50:05Speaker 3: the person who's about to be forced to do something
- 50:09Speaker 3: illegal and unconstitutional. And the judge says, you don't have standing,
- 50:16Speaker 3: And I'm sorry, there are an awful lot of lawyers
- 50:18Speaker 3: in this room. And I know that there's prosecutorial judgment calls,
- 50:22Speaker 3: and we call them judges for their judgment supposedly, and
- 50:26Speaker 3: that they're allowed to decide this stuff. But we have
- 50:30Speaker 3: an out of control judiciary when they can just apply
- 50:34Speaker 3: these standing questions. I don't know how it became this bad,
- 50:41Speaker 3: but damn it, just hear the damn case in court.
- 50:44Speaker 4: And a lot of this.
- 50:46Speaker 3: Comes from, well, we have a very busy court system.
- 50:49Speaker 3: And I've said this before and I'll say it again.
- 50:53Speaker 3: We don't have enough courtrooms. We have ostensibly the same
- 50:58Speaker 3: number of courtrooms and courthouses that we had one hundred
- 51:02Speaker 3: years ago, and we have three times as many people
- 51:05Speaker 3: in the country, which means those courtrooms are three times
- 51:08Speaker 3: as crowded with people trying to seek justice. So what
- 51:12Speaker 3: the judges have started doing is denying hearings of cases.
- 51:22Speaker 4: Just based on that.
- 51:24Speaker 3: They arbitrarily decide you don't have standing so I don't
- 51:28Speaker 3: have to hear your case, stick their finger in their
- 51:31Speaker 3: judicial ears and.
- 51:32Speaker 4: Go la la la la, la la la.
- 51:33Speaker 3: I'm not listening to you, mikeye la la la la la.
- 51:41Speaker 3: And if I've left you with a picture of Eddie
- 51:43Speaker 3: Murphy doing that from the first Beverly Hills cop Then
- 51:46Speaker 3: my mission here has done because that's what the judges
- 51:49Speaker 3: of America have been doing for a decade. Now we
- 51:54Speaker 3: have the appellate process. I don't know where that stands,
- 51:56Speaker 3: but I just heard from one of the parties of
- 51:59Speaker 3: the first first part that we're told, I'm sorry, yes,
- 52:04Speaker 3: you're going to be forced to break the law, but
- 52:06Speaker 3: I don't see how that gives you standing to bring
- 52:09Speaker 3: a suit because I was appointed by a Democrat, which
- 52:14Speaker 3: means I have to stand up for the things that
- 52:16Speaker 3: Democrats want to do, which is really if you read
- 52:19Speaker 3: in between the line of this ass hats ruling, that's
- 52:25Speaker 3: what they said, is that I was appointed by a
- 52:28Speaker 3: Democrat and I'll never be invited back to any other
- 52:31Speaker 3: Democrat cotillions because I have to make sure you don't
- 52:35Speaker 3: have standing to fight this.
- 52:38Speaker 4: These are the reasons I said.
- 52:40Speaker 3: I said for forty five minutes, we need to make
- 52:42Speaker 3: sure these legal firms, like the Founding Freedoms and the
- 52:46Speaker 3: First Freedoms and the Specific Research Institute and all these.
- 52:49Speaker 12: Legal crime across the country is at an all time high.
- 52:54Speaker 12: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
