  Speaker 11: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
• 10:23
  Speaker 11: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
• 10:26
  Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
• 10:32

  Speaker 2: First Thing Today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 13:22
  Speaker 20: You say you haven't done save your little game? Me
• 13:29
  Speaker 20: think about it the night when you are living the game.
• 13:51
  Speaker 4: So this issue came up Supreme Court emergency petition from
• 13:58
  Speaker 4: some civil rights groups to visit their ruling on Louisiana
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: versus Calais, which said that the idea of drawing congressional
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: districts specifically to make them a majority of a particular
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: ethnic class is unconstitutional. Is another entree for me to
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: point out that I get what they're saying, but here's
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: the gag. So we've, unlike everyone else, pointing to these
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: redistricting mania and saying very clearly that there is a
• 14:47
  Speaker 4: reason we are here, and this is the fruit of
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: two wrongs trying to make a right. So the Voting
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: Rights Act was a second wrong, the first wrong against humanity,
• 15:00
  Speaker 4: the first abuse and usurpation by this centralized American government
• 15:05
  Speaker 4: post Civil war, during the hiatus of the Civil war.
• 15:10
  Speaker 4: Because I feel like we are at the conflagration moment
• 15:14
  Speaker 4: of the same civil war starting again. And I can
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: nuance that for you if you've ever heard me say
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: it before in a moment, but in nineteen twenty, I said,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: it was about nineteen seventeen, in that span of time
• 15:30
  Speaker 4: when all the good stuff happened. We took the Senate
• 15:34
  Speaker 4: away from the States, we instituted the income tax, we
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: created the Federal Reserve. All these good things happened. In
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: the mid nineteen hundreds, they began working on trying to
• 15:48
  Speaker 4: stop the black people from getting congressional seats, and they
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: started a plan to freeze the size of the US
• 15:55
  Speaker 4: House of Representatives that did not become successful untilteen twenty nine,
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: some ten thirteen years later, when the nineteen twenty nine
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: Act for Permanent Reapportionment went into effect, freezing the size
• 16:09
  Speaker 4: of the US House of Representatives at four hundred and
• 16:13
  Speaker 4: thirty five. At the time, the population left US with
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: congressional districts that were roughly two hundred thousand people per
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: We are currently right around averaging eight hundred thousand people
• 16:31
  Speaker 4: per district. Do the math, even if you take the
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: conservative estimate that our population has tripled since nineteen thirty.
• 16:46
  Speaker 4: If you want majority minority districts, join me and my
• 16:52
  Speaker 4: push to get the nineteen twenty nine Permanent Reapportionment Act overturn.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: Because once we do that, then we go back to
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: compact and contiguous districts that aren't dragged from Baton Rouge
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: to Louisiana to New Orleans and points in between. I mean,
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: you look at the map of Louisiana and the two
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: districts that they're talking about. You start in one corner
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: of Louisiana and it's like this little some kid tried
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: to freehand draw a line from one corner of Louisiana
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: to the other with a blue crayon. But if you
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: realize that Louisiana would have three times as many congressional districts,
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: then those congressional districts, regardless of what George Mason thought
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: of the most important thing to protect citizens' rights from
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: an out of control centralized government. Regardless, you will have
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: majority minority districts because some of the congressional districts will
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: all of them will, for example, be divided in thirds.
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: Look at the red areas of California. And this is
• 18:14
  Speaker 4: part of why folks like Hakeem Jefferies would never support this.
• 18:18
  Speaker 4: We're going to have to do it through the Convention
• 18:22
  Speaker 4: of States, the Article five Convention. Yeah, you would still
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: have blue districts, and some of them would have a
• 18:32
  Speaker 4: majority of a minority population. You wouldn't have to have
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: some gerry mandering requirement that then forces you to try
• 18:40
  Speaker 4: to fit the other districts in your state in and
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: around these gerrymandered districts. Under the Voting Rights Act, it's simple,
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: and you will have majority minority districts around majority minority cities.
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: It's just a given. Let me get to you at
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
• 19:04
  Speaker 4: Good morning. You're on the air with Joe. First thing
• 19:06
  Speaker 4: this morning. Who's this?
• 19:08
  Speaker 10: Hey Joe?
• 19:08
  Speaker 5: This is Jason.
• 19:09
  Speaker 4: Hey Jason, how are you doing this morning?
• 19:11
  Speaker 21: Sir?
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: Jason?
• 19:19
  Speaker 5: Where do you go?
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: Come on?
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: Jason?
• 19:25
  Speaker 4: I mean we lost him as there was definitely something,
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: you know, there's a ghost in the machine in our
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: phone system. Uh, these things keep going out on us there,
• 19:36
  Speaker 4: and so we're gonna need to figure out, you know,
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: what's going on with this mess because we can't keep
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: losing phone calls. It's not it's not good form for
• 19:45
  Speaker 4: a talk show to say, hey, I want to hear
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: how these things are impacting you, and then hang up
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: on somebody as soon as they get on the air
• 19:53
  Speaker 4: with us. Let's see if we can't get Jason back,
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: because I want to hear what he has to say
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: as well as you, you know, can we put this
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: Hey Jason, it's Joe back at the radio. STA So
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: what was your on your mind?
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: Sir?
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: Sorry about the phone system hanging up on you.
• 20:11
  Speaker 14: That's okay. I might have been my cell phone anyways.
• 20:14
  Speaker 14: I wanted to say that I want I would go
• 20:16
  Speaker 14: a step further. I totally agree with you about bringing
• 20:20
  Speaker 14: back representation, but I would go back to the original
• 20:23
  Speaker 14: representation that our founders had, which would be one representative
• 20:28
  Speaker 14: for every thirty thousand people. And if you went with
• 20:32
  Speaker 14: three hundred and thirty million people in the United States,
• 20:34
  Speaker 14: you'd have ten thousand representatives in Congress.
• 20:37
  Speaker 4: And there wouldn't be anything wrong with that because we're
• 20:39
  Speaker 4: a big country. Actually, I think, I think and Jason's
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: talking about the original proposed Bill of Rights, and George Mason,
• 20:49
  Speaker 4: in crafting this said that the most important thing to
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: protect Americans from an out of control centralized government or districts,
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: I believe, and I'm not looking at it, he said,
• 21:01
  Speaker 4: maxing out at fifty thousand. So because you know, even
• 21:06
  Speaker 4: even even if you go with it, starts at thirty
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: per and then as the population increases, that maxes out
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: at fifty thousand per representative. But even then you are
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: talking about an arena sized house of representatives. But think
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: of how hard k Street would have to work to
• 21:26
  Speaker 4: try to corrupt that many people.
• 21:29
  Speaker 14: Oh, yes, it would be. It would be harder, And
• 21:32
  Speaker 14: no doubt k Street and all of the lobbyist organizations
• 21:36
  Speaker 14: would would eventually corrupt them, because men are all corruptible, right,
• 21:41
  Speaker 14: But what what would happen at fifty thousand constituents per representative?
• 21:48
  Speaker 14: You would see your representation, You would see your representative
• 21:51
  Speaker 14: more sure, and they would actually, you know, you would
• 21:56
  Speaker 14: return to the sense that the representatives would feel there
• 22:00
  Speaker 14: are the people.
• 22:02
  Speaker 9: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes?
• 22:07
  Speaker 9: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
• 22:12

  Speaker 4: Jest this email I love this email on the passage
• 28:40
  Speaker 4: of Ted Turner and his role in creating the world
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: we're in now with the first twenty four hour a day,
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: seven day a week news channel. Mark writes in Joe,
• 28:52
  Speaker 4: what's the matter with more news? I thought sunlight was
• 28:56
  Speaker 4: the great disinfectant? Why are you getting on a guy
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: who just created a programming clock that we imitate dozens
• 29:04
  Speaker 4: of times? Do you go to Newsmax? Do you go
• 29:08
  Speaker 4: to Fox News? These operations wouldn't have existed without Ted Turner.
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: I'm not saying that he didn't, Mark, I'm saying that
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: is this a good thing? And the existence of twenty
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: four hour news is an inanimate object? What are we
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: doing with it? Are we telling more news stories with
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: the twenty four hour news cycle? Or are we just
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: using it for more advertising platforms? And I'm not talking
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: about the commercials for some dysfunction medication that come in
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: between the stories. I'm talking about using whole blocks of
• 29:45
  Speaker 4: what appeared to be a newscast to sell agendas, to
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: pitch politics over. Just here's what happened, I laugh back.
• 29:59
  Speaker 4: There's a pot I don't have evidence on it, but
• 30:02
  Speaker 4: apocryphal story of the during the foundation of CNN. Turner
• 30:07
  Speaker 4: was supposedly asked, what are you going to fill twenty
• 30:12
  Speaker 4: four hours with? Because that was the question, is you
• 30:17
  Speaker 4: know you had most news operations were getting their news
• 30:21
  Speaker 4: in in half an hour at six pm. Trust me
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: on this, because I you know, I am here and
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: I just tried to cull the amount of news that
• 30:36
  Speaker 4: we could get into into four hours, and it's it's insufficient.
• 30:42
  Speaker 4: I could do twelve hours just on the news that
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: we have that I find to be of note. Tell
• 30:50
  Speaker 4: Jason to hang on. Jason's on the line with a still,
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: but got a call coming in here, so let me
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: get the fresh one in and then finish up because Jason,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: we were talking about proportional representation. Good morning, You're on
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: the air with Joe.
• 31:04
  Speaker 12: Who's this?
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: Good morning? Joe's Joel? How are you good? Joel Arizona?
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: Is that what is called surprise Arizona?
• 31:13
  Speaker 21: Yeah?
• 31:13
  Speaker 5: It is.
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: I love that. I love Where do you live? Surprised
• 31:18
  Speaker 4: driving along?
• 31:19
  Speaker 5: Hey?
• 31:19
  Speaker 4: Look at town there? But I hope it's working out
• 31:22
  Speaker 4: for you there and I appreciate that. Yeah, I know.
• 31:26
  Speaker 4: Joel texted me earlier he thought I was bashing the
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: cannabis industry. In this coverage of the Louise Lucas story.
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: Louise Lucas, if you're joining us in progress, is the
• 31:37
  Speaker 4: most powerful Virginia Democrat, sort of the female version of
• 31:42
  Speaker 4: Joe Biden. She has been accused now and is facing
• 31:46
  Speaker 4: corruption charges. The FBI rated her home yesterday, her office,
• 31:52
  Speaker 4: and her cannabis business. I'm not pointing to cannabis as
• 31:57
  Speaker 4: a bad thing or a good thing. I'm just saying
• 31:59
  Speaker 4: she was the biggest mover in the government allowance of
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: letting businesses like her own sell cannabis, sell marijuana, sell
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: it on a retail basis. So I can only extrapolate
• 32:19
  Speaker 4: if this corruption investigation goes all the way back to
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: the big guy. And believe me, if there's an administration
• 32:26
  Speaker 4: who knows government officials who are trying to make themselves
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: wealthy through their government position, it's the Biden administration. I
• 32:35
  Speaker 4: have to think it's connected to the cannabis shop and
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: her activism in the cannabis world. Joel, I wasn't bashing
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: cannabis on its own, but I appreciate it. Give me
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: a chance to explainify myself to you. But what brings
• 32:48
  Speaker 4: you to the phone now? Well, A couple of things. First,
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: I'm just going to say this about cannabis. For some
• 32:55
  Speaker 4: people it helps them. It's not all just CBD.
• 32:58
  Speaker 21: There's CBN, there's THC, there's delta eight, there's delta nine,
• 33:03
  Speaker 21: which is the tuc that people.
• 33:05
  Speaker 5: But it's a combination of things, and the whole plant
• 33:08
  Speaker 5: can be used.
• 33:09
  Speaker 21: But one thing I wanted to say other than that,
• 33:12
  Speaker 21: and I appreciate what you're saying too. When and I'm
• 33:15
  Speaker 21: not saying this about you, okay, but when things are
• 33:19
  Speaker 21: are are like Lucas, like you know, the she she's
• 33:24
  Speaker 21: a senator.
• 33:25
  Speaker 4: I guess yeah, she's the head of the Senator. She's
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: the So the problem.
• 33:33
  Speaker 21: Is it's not just getting proportionate representation. It's about making
• 33:40
  Speaker 21: sure that we have term limits. And Congress doesn't do
• 33:43
  Speaker 21: anything other than Congress and the Senate don't do anything
• 33:48
  Speaker 21: other than.
• 33:49
  Speaker 5: To protect themselves.
• 33:50
  Speaker 21: They don't do anything to protect America in the sense
• 33:54
  Speaker 21: that they're not the it's like the.
• 33:56
  Speaker 5: Good old boy a good old girls group.
• 33:58
  Speaker 21: Now they're not gonna they're not going to write any
• 34:01
  Speaker 21: legislation that's going to interfere with their job and and
• 34:06
  Speaker 21: and how And you said, great, the convention of States.
• 34:09
  Speaker 21: Could the Convention of States actually require term limits.
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: Because you could, you could make that proposal.
• 34:17
  Speaker 21: Because I understand having more people within government, but the
• 34:23
  Speaker 21: whole purpose is to downsize government. But do we have
• 34:26
  Speaker 21: representation that actually represents us, not just not just that
• 34:31
  Speaker 21: that that we I understand, we said proportion we need
• 34:34
  Speaker 21: more people. But so what if we have more people
• 34:36
  Speaker 21: but they're all protected by non term limits other than
• 34:40
  Speaker 21: for you know, two years for Congress and six years
• 34:43
  Speaker 21: for the Senate and then repetitive you know, elections.
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: I mean, you know when they get.
• 34:49
  Speaker 4: To here's the thing, you know, if you have a
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: fifty thousand we're going with the George Mason plan, which
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: and understand when I say he thought this was the
• 35:00
  Speaker 4: most important thing. So he wrote the original Bill of Rights.
• 35:03
  Speaker 4: It was twelve things, and the first one, before free
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: speech and the independence of church and all of that,
• 35:13
  Speaker 4: that was the second one. The first most pre eminent
• 35:17
  Speaker 4: thing on his mind was making sure that Congress didn't
• 35:21
  Speaker 4: get out of control over the voters that were there.
• 35:26
  Speaker 4: So he said that the first thing was that Congress
• 35:32
  Speaker 4: should not be portioned to more than fifty thousand citizens.
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: Now it's my thought, I want to hear your thought
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: on that term limits are baked into that cake without
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: it having to be a mandate, because when you're in
• 35:49
  Speaker 4: a community of only fifty thousand people. I don't know
• 35:51
  Speaker 4: how big surprise Arizona is, but if you're in a
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: congressional district of only fifty thousand people, it's pretty easy
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: for that group of people to throw out the bomb
• 36:03
  Speaker 4: that was there if he becomes a bum, if he
• 36:06
  Speaker 4: stops representing them. Don't you think I agree there?
• 36:11
  Speaker 21: But like I said, but I don't think it's just
• 36:14
  Speaker 21: you know, at that level. I think it's that we
• 36:17
  Speaker 21: have people within government. Okay, now they're what on another
• 36:20
  Speaker 21: two week leave? I mean, what the heck? I mean
• 36:25
  Speaker 21: people can't even do that with their own job unless
• 36:27
  Speaker 21: they're running their own business. But people were a good
• 36:30
  Speaker 21: businessman and good business women, and like yourself, you've been.
• 36:34
  Speaker 21: You know, you and your wife took over w t N.
• 36:37
  Speaker 21: You're running it and and you know, I don't know
• 36:39
  Speaker 21: if I can say this, but you said you have
• 36:41
  Speaker 21: any role even taking you know, your own salary because
• 36:45
  Speaker 21: trying to make things.
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: We pay our bills. My wife delivers groceries and uh,
• 36:50
  Speaker 4: and I try to deliver results for advertisers. We have
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: a good cadre of advertisers. We're paying our bills there.
• 36:58
  Speaker 4: So just for example, so Surprise Arizona, according to my
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Crack research department, and I mean Hunter Biden was hired
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: by us. It was a make work thing. So now
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: they population of Surprise Arizona in Maricopa County is one
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: hundred and forty three thousand according to the twenty twenty census,
• 37:20
  Speaker 4: which means your community would have to and change congressional
• 37:26
  Speaker 4: districts just where you are in Arizona. You know a
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: third one would be mostly in Surprise Arizona. So do
• 37:34
  Speaker 4: you think there's enough people to change congress people and
• 37:38
  Speaker 4: political parties more frequently.
• 37:41
  Speaker 5: Oh, I understand what you're saying. That makes sense, But
• 37:44
  Speaker 5: you have to remember.
• 37:45
  Speaker 21: Too, And I'm going to get in trouble for saying this,
• 37:47
  Speaker 21: but Maricopa County remember they had some election issues too.
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: I mean, no, not Arizona. See, this is what happened
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: when you got rid of Sheriff Joe R.
• 37:57
  Speaker 12: Pio.
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: That's when the trouble really started.
• 38:01
  Speaker 25: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
• 38:04
  Speaker 25: problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 5: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 25: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 25: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 25: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
• 38:17
  Speaker 25: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
• 38:20
  Speaker 25: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
• 38:24
  Speaker 25: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
• 38:27
  Speaker 25: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
• 38:30
  Speaker 25: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
• 38:34
  Speaker 25: percent less DPF regenerations. The six and one Diesel Extreme
• 38:39
  Speaker 25: formula also includes the most concentrated detergent on the market,
• 38:43

  Speaker 2: Talk Radio, Just the way your mother used to make
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: his first thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: Media network.
• 44:40
  Speaker 4: True Story. He says, feeling obligated to tell you, unlike
• 44:43
  Speaker 4: the other stuff you know, thirty three years ago, just
• 44:49
  Speaker 4: last week, I was dancing to that song with my mother.
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: That's the kind of weird wedding I had. That was
• 44:56
  Speaker 4: the mother's son dance song at my wedding. Their quick
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: note Just in case you don't want to say I
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: didn't tell you so, Mother's Day is Sunday. Just understand
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: In a quick note from someone who's been married successfully
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: for almost thirty three consecutive years. I mean, we've had
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: some moments where it's been in question, but we've stayed
• 45:22
  Speaker 4: the course for thirty three years. If she's the mother
• 45:26
  Speaker 4: of your children, it still counts just saying. And if
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: it winds up turning out badly for you, don't call
• 45:34
  Speaker 4: me Monday and say I wish you had told me.
• 45:37
  Speaker 4: Come on, man, Jason was on the line with us,
• 45:40
  Speaker 4: and we were fixing up our phone conversation there because
• 45:43
  Speaker 4: our selves were dropping in and out. But Jason, you're
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: on the subject of the Permanent Reapportionment Act. Scott in
• 45:50
  Speaker 4: Virginia Beach also picked up on it. He said today,
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: So in nineteen twenty nine, Virginia had ten representatives for
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: two point four or five million citizens. Today in Virginia
• 46:06
  Speaker 4: that is eleven for three million. The numbers are up
• 46:15
  Speaker 4: to eight hundred and seven thousand citizens. Our voice is
• 46:18
  Speaker 4: greatly diminished. I would like to see a representative for
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: each of the ninety five counties and thirty eight cities,
• 46:24
  Speaker 4: which would result in one House seat per sixty six
• 46:28
  Speaker 4: thousand citizens. We would have better access to our representatives
• 46:32
  Speaker 4: and a larger voice. Well, that's the point I'm making.
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: People say, well, if you increase the size of Congress,
• 46:37
  Speaker 4: isn't that growing government? Because conservatives we get hung up
• 46:43
  Speaker 4: on these slogans I want smaller government, so do I.
• 46:47
  Speaker 4: So what do you need? Our voices need to be larger.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: And that's the government has grown because our representation has
• 46:56
  Speaker 4: sclerotified seally out in the four corners. He said, Good morning, Joe.
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: The average person isn't feeling pain that they attribute to
• 47:05
  Speaker 4: not having enough congressman. So I imagine it's going to
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: be hard to get people excited about more direct representation. Yes,
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: that's why Cely, I am seizing upon this redistricting mania
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: right now to try to spread the word. And the
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: word is apportionment. Don't you get it? You know, even
• 47:27
  Speaker 4: when it comes down to term limits, Jason, you know
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: this is baked into the cake.
• 47:33
  Speaker 14: Oh, I totally agree. I think I think it would.
• 47:36
  Speaker 5: It would break up the.
• 47:37
  Speaker 14: Monopoly and I'm gonna say monopoly of the UNI Party, right,
• 47:42
  Speaker 14: it would break that up, and you would actually, you know,
• 47:45
  Speaker 14: you would have you know, different parties. Not that the
• 47:48
  Speaker 14: parties are any good for America, as you know, declared
• 47:51
  Speaker 14: by George Washington. But you would have considerable amount of viewpoints.
• 47:58
  Speaker 14: You would have areas that would have a very libertarian bit.
• 48:02
  Speaker 14: You would have areas that would have you know, the green, socialist,
• 48:06
  Speaker 14: Marxist ideas. But it would it would go back to
• 48:10
  Speaker 14: more of a melting pot of ideas and ideas would
• 48:13
  Speaker 14: rent out instead of party doctrine.
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: And and you would be forced to admit that things
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: don't get done because when you're trying to get a
• 48:22
  Speaker 4: coalition of that many people, uh, you know, the idea
• 48:26
  Speaker 4: that bills will fail, that's good.
• 48:30
  Speaker 14: The less is better, right, yes, and you may actually
• 48:35
  Speaker 14: get single single item bills because that's the cleanest way
• 48:40
  Speaker 14: to you know, get you know, and then there's less
• 48:46
  Speaker 14: less uh less cat stick around well.
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: And and you look at parliamentary governments like Britain and Israel.
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: I mean, the kinesset is is very large because they
• 48:58
  Speaker 4: have very small numbers of people in each representative district.
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Same thing in the House of Commons in the United States.
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: I point to New Hampshire frequently. I think their House
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: of Representatives is four hundred people for just the state
• 49:14
  Speaker 4: of New Hampshire. It's thirty five less than we have
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: in Congress for a country of three hundred millions. So
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: you know, but their lights still work, the roads still
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: get paved, and the police still get paid.
• 49:28
  Speaker 14: Yeah, I totally agree. I think the Woodrow Wilson years
• 49:30
  Speaker 14: were one of the leaks, most damaging years to our republic.
• 49:37
  Speaker 4: Well, when you look at all these things, it is
• 49:39
  Speaker 4: you know, we have a mutual friend, Chris Showenwald. He
• 49:42
  Speaker 4: used to refer to this what we're living in now
• 49:44
  Speaker 4: is America version two because that that whole soft core
• 49:50
  Speaker 4: back room revolution that took place after Woodrow Wilson became president.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: And all these things, the development of the Federal Reserve,
• 50:00
  Speaker 4: the direct income tax, the Senates Popular Election, the Permanent
• 50:05
  Speaker 4: Reapportionment Act were all designed to give the centralized government
• 50:11
  Speaker 4: more power over the citizen. Uh and in a lot
• 50:14
  Speaker 4: of cases, and and the filibuster comes about in that
• 50:17
  Speaker 4: same period of time because they wanted to stop debate
• 50:21
  Speaker 4: on things that might have you know, oh, I don't know,
• 50:24
  Speaker 4: led people to realize what they were doing there.
• 50:28
  Speaker 14: Yes, absolutely right. I mean you could take what you
• 50:31
  Speaker 14: just said is, you know, the encroachment upon individual liberty
• 50:35
  Speaker 14: was was just outstanding. It and it continues to this day.
• 50:39
  Speaker 14: It continues to this day with data centers that you know,
• 50:43
  Speaker 14: Peter Field and his pallentteer lined in, baked into a
• 50:47
  Speaker 14: lot of our government organization. And and that's dangerous, That
• 50:51
  Speaker 14: is absolutely dangerous.
• 50:53
  Speaker 4: Right, I mean the data centers in individual liberty, right.
• 50:57
  Speaker 4: The cronyism is what you know, is the fruit of
• 51:00
  Speaker 4: the sick tree. There, Jason, good to hear from you
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: and my friend. You have a great morning, you too,
• 51:06
  Speaker 4: Joe Ticket. Yeah, so you know it's a long conversation.
• 51:14
  Speaker 4: This doesn't change overnight. I mean it took it took
• 51:21
  Speaker 4: William Randolph Hurst almost ten years, owning almost every major
• 51:30
  Speaker 4: news outlet in every major city, to flip most of
• 51:35
  Speaker 4: the country. You can't leave him out of this conversation.
• 51:37
  Speaker 4: All this stuff, income tax, the permanent reapportionment tax, the filibuster,
• 51:44
  Speaker 4: the Senate popularly elected, all fruits of William Randolph Hurst,
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: who was the Mark Zuckerberg of the Woodrow Wilson movement,
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: because you know, he figured, you know, it'll make me
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: some money in the news world. And tie that to
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: Ted Turner. Yes, you franchise out, you break up. More
• 52:05
  Speaker 4: news is good news if it's being news. And this
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: last thought from Teresa saying, yes, if the news wasn't
• 52:15
  Speaker 4: just selling us products and by products I mean politicians,
• 52:20
  Speaker 4: we might actually get some good news. Yet, believe me,
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: four hours there's a pile of stuff we didn't get
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: a chance to get into. But we get into deeper
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: stuff than we usually do than the usual talk show does.
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: Because I feel like we have the time, Let's make
• 52:39
  Speaker 4: it count for something. Anyway, time to go? Yes, she
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: should until tomorrow, So long and thanks for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 26: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 26: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
• 52:56
  Speaker 26: a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
