"I'm an excellent legislator" (FTTxJT Tue 100626 hr2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

• 0:04
  Speaker 1: Well, I asked you, okay, you know, if you want
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: to do nonsense, do nonsense.
• 0:07
  Speaker 2: First thing today, by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: Joe works at a steel mill, works damn near every day.
• 0:16
  Speaker 3: Hi.
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: Leaves for work when the sun comes up, drops a kid.
• 0:20
  Speaker 5: To school in the long world.
• 0:22
  Speaker 6: Joe has everything he dreamed of, all the treasures that
• 0:26
  Speaker 6: he needs.
• 0:27
  Speaker 7: No wonder Joe's always smiling, he only aims to please you.
• 0:35
  Speaker 8: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:37
  Speaker 8: this morning. I mean, no matter what happens, I'm somebody's Joe,
• 0:44
  Speaker 8: and that's all that matters to me. And this is
• 0:45
  Speaker 8: the power. This is my superpower. It is a big
• 0:49
  Speaker 8: heaping pile of I don't give a damn. Do you
• 0:55
  Speaker 8: know why I care about you? Because I don't have to.
• 0:57
  Speaker 8: Do you know what I learned somewhere in the midpoint
• 1:04
  Speaker 8: of my broadcasting career was the harder I tried to
• 1:07
  Speaker 8: make people like me, the less it happened. And that
• 1:12
  Speaker 8: people generally reacted positively if you were just trying to
• 1:17
  Speaker 8: tell them the truth. And if they didn't like it
• 1:20
  Speaker 8: at the moment, you could wait. You didn't do it
• 1:23
  Speaker 8: with prejudgment or mean spiritedness. You were just looking out.
• 1:30
  Speaker 8: And you know what? People respond to that. Like Joe
• 1:33
  Speaker 8: Joe listening in Central Virginia to our flagship station says,
• 1:39
  Speaker 8: I agree with you 100%, but keep your volume close.
• 1:44
  Speaker 8: You might need it. You're getting a little excited. This
• 1:47
  Speaker 8: is over a bill that is coming to the General Assembly,
• 1:51
  Speaker 8: the very same General Assembly that Thomas Jefferson and James Madison,
• 1:56
  Speaker 8: Patrick Henry, George Mason all served in, is going to
• 2:00
  Speaker 8: determine whether if an entire classification of people, debatably right now,
• 2:05
  Speaker 8: whether or not made that way by the government themselves,
• 2:12
  Speaker 8: would be banned from being able to give testimony even
• 2:19
  Speaker 8: on their own behalf because of their medical condition, this
• 2:25
  Speaker 8: being autism, And I know people are like, Joe, it's
• 2:32
  Speaker 8: just a proposal. It's not even going to get laughed
• 2:34
  Speaker 8: out of committee. Just like the constitutional amendment we're voting
• 2:38
  Speaker 8: on got laughed out of the world. I mean, Rush
• 2:41
  Speaker 8: Limbaugh made jokes about this constitutional amendment in 2019. Because
• 2:50
  Speaker 8: the nitwit that proposed it obviously hadn't even read the bill.
• 2:56
  Speaker 8: And now it's about to become perhaps a constitutional amendment.
• 3:00
  Speaker 8: I get fired up. But I want to get into
• 3:02
  Speaker 8: the Supreme Court and whether you should be able to
• 3:05
  Speaker 8: sue an oil company over climate change. We'll get into
• 3:10
  Speaker 8: that coming up. It's one of the Supreme Court docket.
• 3:13
  Speaker 8: They started their session, and this is perhaps the most
• 3:17
  Speaker 8: notable case of it. They will determine, even though Justice
• 3:25
  Speaker 8: Scalia recused himself, it could be a 4-4 split decision.
• 3:32
  Speaker 8: whether a local municipality, in this case Boulder, Colorado, can
• 3:37
  Speaker 8: sue ExxonMobil and Suncor over their contributions to climate change.
• 3:45
  Speaker 8: Supreme Court also said it won't hear a challenge to
• 3:47
  Speaker 8: a school district's ban on the shirt that says, let's
• 3:51
  Speaker 8: go Brandon. The school had banned the shirts because it
• 3:55
  Speaker 8: alluded to a profane statement regarding intercoursing with the former president.
• 4:03
  Speaker 8: Cornell students took to a campus plaza, desperately trying to
• 4:08
  Speaker 8: hold on to the notoriety they've gained over the lawsuit
• 4:12
  Speaker 8: filed on the Cornell 7 case. Signs that said, support survivors,
• 4:21
  Speaker 8: expel rapists, and justice for every Jane Doe. And then
• 4:25
  Speaker 8: they spray painted all over Cornell University's administration building. Jim Baker,
• 4:33
  Speaker 8: who along with his wife Tammy Faye built the PTL
• 4:37
  Speaker 8: Club Evangelist Ministry, has passed away. He was 86 on Monday.
• 4:47
  Speaker 8: President Trump criticized election officials in Maricopa County, Arizona after 3,000
• 4:53
  Speaker 8: ballots were mistakenly mailed early to voters. Maricopa County said, well,
• 4:59
  Speaker 8: it wasn't our fault. It was a vendor we hired.
• 5:05
  Speaker 8: And they also said it should have no impact on
• 5:08
  Speaker 8: the voters who received the ballots. The president said Maricopa
• 5:13
  Speaker 8: is a very dishonest county. That is the home of Phoenix,
• 5:17
  Speaker 8: by the way. Forces of the Saudi-led coalition fighting in
• 5:21
  Speaker 8: Yemen have recaptured strategic areas and the control of the
• 5:27
  Speaker 8: Bab el-Mandeb Strait from Iran-backed Houthi rebels, Yemeni officials announced Monday.
• 5:35
  Speaker 8: while the Houthis claimed the attacks on Saudi oil facilities
• 5:39
  Speaker 8: using ballistic missiles, which, last time we checked, were being
• 5:42
  Speaker 8: delivered to Iran from Russia. Yemeni officials said forces allied
• 5:47
  Speaker 8: with the internationally recognized government in Yemen retook the crucial
• 5:53
  Speaker 8: town of Dubab just north of the Strait as well,
• 5:57
  Speaker 8: making sure that the route that connects the Red Sea
• 6:00
  Speaker 8: with the Gulf of Aden stays open. And those are
• 6:07
  Speaker 8: some of our first things for this Tuesday morning. We'll
• 6:12
  Speaker 8: discuss now, how is it impacting you where you are?
• 6:15

  Speaker 9: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 7:05
  Speaker 9: turned into something very major in a matter of hours.
• 7:07
  Speaker 10: It was MediShare that came through for us, and there
• 7:10
  Speaker 10: was no hassles.
• 7:11
  Speaker 11: There was no problem.
• 7:12
  Speaker 9: That's what's so wonderful about knowing that you're a part
• 7:15
  Speaker 9: of such an incredible ministry.
• 7:17
  Speaker 12: MediShare is a biblical approach to health care where Christians
• 7:21
  Speaker 12: share each other's medical expenses.
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: MediShare is a family, a group of people that stick
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: with you through the hardest times of your life.
• 7:30
  Speaker 12: MediShare isn't insurance. It's a nonprofit ministry over 30 years old.
• 7:35
  Speaker 12: And members have shared over $ 8 billion of each other's
• 7:38
  Speaker 12: medical bills.
• 7:38
  Speaker 13: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 7:41
  Speaker 7: You can focus on supporting other people.
• 7:43
  Speaker 8: MediShare is affordable.
• 7:45
  Speaker 5: MediShare is biblical.
• 7:46
  Speaker 14: MediShare is family.
• 7:47
  Speaker 12: Join thousands of Christians who can help you save on
• 7:50
  Speaker 12: your health care and support your family when you need it.

  Speaker 12: That's 855-SHARE-40.
• 8:03
  Speaker 5: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
• 8:08
  Speaker 5: actually three known gases. Hi, I'm Dr. Mitch, and nitric
• 8:13
  Speaker 5: oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
• 8:18
  Speaker 5: to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
• 8:23
  Speaker 5: By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen,
• 8:28
  Speaker 5: and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
• 8:32
  Speaker 5: and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
• 8:36
  Speaker 5: precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
• 8:39
  Speaker 5: energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
• 8:42
  Speaker 5: your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate Nitric Oxide,
• 8:47
  Speaker 5: can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

  Speaker 15: world and in our hometowns, and that someone is us.

• 9:33
  Speaker 6: Every year, more American adults die from vaccine-preventable diseases than
• 9:37
  Speaker 6: from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like the
• 9:41
  Speaker 6: one for pneumococcal disease can protect adults from illnesses that
• 9:44
  Speaker 6: can cause missed days of work, hospitalization, and even death.
• 9:49
  Speaker 6: Pneumococcal disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
• 9:53
  Speaker 6: or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
• 9:56
  Speaker 6: of an infection that can spread from person to person.
• 9:59
  Speaker 6: Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
• 10:03
  Speaker 16: I'm Dr.
• 10:04
  Speaker 6: Susan Rehm of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases. When
• 10:08
  Speaker 6: I speak with my patients, I urge them to get
• 10:10
  Speaker 6: all their recommended vaccines. Now I'm urging you to speak
• 10:14
  Speaker 6: with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
• 10:17
  Speaker 6: For more information about the vaccines that are recommended for
• 10:20
  Speaker 6: adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough, tetanus,
• 10:24
  Speaker 6: and shingles, visit adultvaccination.org.
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: That's www.adultvaccination.org.
• 10:33
  Speaker 17: We depend on our drinking water supply daily, but where
• 10:36
  Speaker 17: does that water come from? Your water provider encourages you
• 10:40
  Speaker 17: to get to know your local water source so together
• 10:43
  Speaker 17: we can protect and preserve it. The investments we make
• 10:46
  Speaker 17: as a community to protect our water source now ensure
• 10:49
  Speaker 17: we have a sustainable drinking water supply for the future.

• 10:57
  Speaker 17: you by the American Water Works Association and your local

  Speaker 17: water provider.

  Speaker 18: If you came across someone struggling with hunger, how would
• 11:05
  Speaker 18: you recognize them?
• 11:07
  Speaker 19: By their clothes?
• 11:08
  Speaker 11: Their age?
• 11:09
  Speaker 17: The way they speak?
• 11:11
  Speaker 18: Would you notice the 16-year-old boy who got his first job?
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: Not for extra spending money, but to help feed his
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: little sisters.
• 11:19
  Speaker 18: Or a mother who's in between jobs and sometimes goes
• 11:22
  Speaker 18: to bed hungry so her kids can have dinner. Or
• 11:25
  Speaker 18: a 14-year-old girl who signs up to every after-school activity
• 11:28
  Speaker 18: not to make friends, but just to get something to eat.
• 11:33
  Speaker 12: Or a retiree who fell ill and had to.
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: Choose between getting medicine or groceries.
• 11:40
  Speaker 18: I am the one in eight Americans who struggle with hunger.
• 11:44
  Speaker 18: People you pass by every day but never knew were hungry.
• 11:48
  Speaker 12: I am hunger in America.
• 11:51
  Speaker 4: Hunger can be hard to recognize. Learn why at IamHungerInAmerica.org.

• 12:01
  Speaker 1: Think about this. There are five freedoms guaranteed in the
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: First Amendment. Freedom of religion. Freedom of speech. Freedom of
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: the press. Freedom to peaceably assemble. Freedom to petition the government.
• 12:14
  Speaker 1: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
• 12:18
  Speaker 1: doesn't make you choose. It protects all five freedoms equally.

• 12:27
  Speaker 1: you be buzzed when you suddenly love everything? You guys,
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: I love this song.
• 12:34
  Speaker 16: I love these nachos.
• 12:37
  Speaker 2: I love our kickball league.
• 12:40
  Speaker 10: I love this guy.
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: What's your name?
• 12:43
  Speaker 8: You know what I love?
• 12:44
  Speaker 16: A ride when it's time to head out.
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: If you see a buzzed warning sign, call for a
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: ride when it's time to go home. Buzz driving is
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: drunk driving. A message from NHTSA and the Ad Council.
• 12:55
  Speaker 18: Radio. It's on.
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: Doctor, doctor, give me the news.
• 13:24
  Speaker 16: I got a bad case of love in you.
• 13:27
  Speaker 7: No pills gonna cure my ill.
• 13:31
  Speaker 15: I got a bad case of love.
• 13:34
  Speaker 8: This is where we're headed. You know, pregnancy is going to,
• 13:38
  Speaker 8: we're going to get rid of the word pregnancy. It
• 13:40
  Speaker 8: sounds so sexist, so misogynist. We're just going to call
• 13:44
  Speaker 8: it a bad case of loving you. And then you
• 13:47
  Speaker 8: can go to the doctor and say, doc, I've got,
• 13:50
  Speaker 8: you know, and then it's just a treatable condition, right?
• 13:53
  Speaker 8: That's how debased we've become. It's how unhinged we've become.
• 13:58
  Speaker 8: And we're daring to say that we can determine whether
• 14:02
  Speaker 8: somebody who's on the autistic spectrum is incapable. I'd argue
• 14:07
  Speaker 8: we're incapable of standing up for ourselves if this is
• 14:12
  Speaker 8: the kind of stuff that we want to watch. Bob
• 14:17
  Speaker 8: wants to talk about the plague that's, and I think
• 14:21
  Speaker 8: he means pneumonia, but they're calling it the plague now
• 14:25
  Speaker 8: because somebody's desperate for attention like the kids at Cornell.
• 14:30
  Speaker 8: So we'll give them a chance on that and we'll
• 14:32
  Speaker 8: get into The Supreme Court suing about climate change, another
• 14:36
  Speaker 8: group that's desperate for attention. And I'm sure they're not
• 14:41
  Speaker 8: going to be happy with the kind we give it
• 14:42
  Speaker 8: here on First Thing Today. But our friend James out
• 14:46
  Speaker 8: there at JCSGold.com had a phone call about you. I
• 14:50
  Speaker 8: don't know if John in Vero Beach called you yesterday
• 14:53
  Speaker 8: or not, but he was having issues with trying to
• 14:56
  Speaker 8: set up. He's a vet and he's trying to use
• 14:58
  Speaker 8: some of his pension money. on gold and silver. Did
• 15:01
  Speaker 8: he ever reach out to you guys, James? Yes, he did, Joe.
• 15:05
  Speaker 8: I spoke to John yesterday.
• 15:06
  Speaker 20: We had a great conversation, and it sounds like we're
• 15:10
  Speaker 20: going to be able to work out getting him some
• 15:14
  Speaker 20: gold and silver.
• 15:14
  Speaker 8: Oh, that's good. I'm so happy. And I don't care
• 15:18
  Speaker 8: that you're a sponsor and he's a listener or anything else.
• 15:21
  Speaker 8: I just like it when happy endings happen, you know
• 15:24
  Speaker 8: what I'm saying? That's good. I'm glad. I felt bad
• 15:27
  Speaker 8: for him. that he had not had a great experience.
• 15:30
  Speaker 8: So very cool. See, this is why I say family business.
• 15:35
  Speaker 8: That's where you go when you need advice. James, how
• 15:38
  Speaker 8: are you doing this morning? Yeah, I'm doing well, Joe.
• 15:42
  Speaker 20: And gold and silver are just about flat on the
• 15:46
  Speaker 20: day so far. Gold is slightly in the green, up
• 15:48
  Speaker 20: about a third of a percent, up $ 12 to $ 4, 153 a.
• 15:54
  Speaker 8: Silver is right at even today.
• 15:56
  Speaker 20: So far, it's $ 61.
• 15:58
  Speaker 8: 05. Is there any talk in the industry, gold and
• 16:01
  Speaker 8: silver industry, that at some point those precious metals have
• 16:06
  Speaker 8: grown immune to reacting to Wall Street and the price
• 16:11
  Speaker 8: of oil and all that stuff that used to? Years
• 16:14
  Speaker 8: ago when we were doing this, James, you'd see like
• 16:18
  Speaker 8: the price of oil went up and the price of
• 16:20
  Speaker 8: gold went down or the price of Wall Street went
• 16:23
  Speaker 8: up and gold went down. And gold just does not
• 16:25
  Speaker 8: seem to be a reactionary commodity anymore.
• 16:31
  Speaker 20: It's not reacting in the way that it did, you know, 15,
• 16:36
  Speaker 20: 20 years ago.
• 16:37
  Speaker 13: No.
• 16:38
  Speaker 20: But there are so many different factors playing into it
• 16:41
  Speaker 20: these days and the way that inflation has impacted has gone,
• 16:45
  Speaker 20: especially since COVID. The whole idea of gold and silver
• 16:53
  Speaker 20: and investing in that, the importance of the value of
• 16:56
  Speaker 20: gold and silver has really become way more mainstream, especially
• 16:59
  Speaker 20: since the great financial crisis in 2008. Everyone really started
• 17:05
  Speaker 20: to think, hey, I need a position in gold and silver.
• 17:08
  Speaker 20: And that kind of changed the dynamics of the price movement.
• 17:11
  Speaker 8: A little bit.
• 17:12
  Speaker 20: But the main thing is that gold and silver really
• 17:14
  Speaker 20: are a hedge against inflation, and it still works that
• 17:17
  Speaker 20: way today.
• 17:18
  Speaker 8: Yeah, I think that's a good point. And maybe that's
• 17:20
  Speaker 8: a good sign for us is that we, you know,
• 17:22
  Speaker 8: put our head on squarely in and amongst all that tumult, James. Again,
• 17:27
  Speaker 8: call him, just like we told John too yesterday, 434-979-COIN.
• 17:30
  Speaker 8: That's 2646. It's advice not driven by a quotas. not
• 17:39
  Speaker 8: driven by some call list that you have to complete
• 17:43
  Speaker 8: before you go home in the day. It's a family business,
• 17:46
  Speaker 8: just wants to chat with you. James, bless you. You're
• 17:49
  Speaker 8: a blessing on my house for being part of it.
• 17:53
  Speaker 8: And thank you so much. Absolutely. Thank you, Joe. You know,
• 17:58
  Speaker 8: I joke sometimes there are people in the world that
• 18:00
  Speaker 8: make me three inches taller and a better dancer for
• 18:03
  Speaker 8: their involvement in my life. And the Luck family is
• 18:05
  Speaker 8: definitely there. One of them, Bob in Moscow. Appreciate it. Yeah,
• 18:11
  Speaker 8: I was thinking of you when I saw the story
• 18:13
  Speaker 8: of the, quote, pneumonic plague that is out there. Now,
• 18:18
  Speaker 8: you're a pharmacist. So is this just pneumonia or is
• 18:23
  Speaker 8: this more gain of function research being done in Siberia
• 18:27
  Speaker 8: that has reduced the Russian population by one so far?
• 18:32
  Speaker 11: Right. One thing. The NIH lady who was the expert
• 18:36
  Speaker 11: and was the expert during COVID, she has no place
• 18:41
  Speaker 11: to be speaking out on. Russia should be more informative
• 18:44
  Speaker 11: and upfront about it after what the United States did
• 18:49
  Speaker 11: on the cover of COVID.
• 18:52
  Speaker 8: You're talking about current NIH? Was she there when Tony
• 18:55
  Speaker 8: take the fifth leave the cannolis?
• 18:58
  Speaker 11: She was working for the NIH.
• 19:00
  Speaker 8: Okay, so she was there during the cover-ups. But either way, Right.
• 19:04
  Speaker 11: But either way, no one from the NIH should be
• 19:06
  Speaker 11: making any comments about what Russia is doing because Russia,
• 19:10
  Speaker 11: the minute the lady was hospitalized, they immediately quarantined everyone
• 19:14
  Speaker 11: that came in contact with her, isolated. What did we do?
• 19:19
  Speaker 11: Governor Cuomo sent patients back from the hospital to the
• 19:23
  Speaker 11: nursing home to have more senior citizens die of COVID.
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 19:26
  Speaker 8: Even though we knew at that point, as soon as
• 19:29
  Speaker 8: he announced it, people were like, hold it. That's the
• 19:32
  Speaker 8: key comorbidity. We already knew that seniors were most greatly
• 19:37
  Speaker 8: at risk.
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: But they didn't isolate anyone. All the people that were
• 19:44
  Speaker 11: in the hospital like that, if you tested positive in
• 19:47
  Speaker 11: the hospital and you were serious, you should have never
• 19:49
  Speaker 11: been sent home from the hospital. You should have been
• 19:51
  Speaker 11: sent to a hotel and isolated for the required days.
• 19:56
  Speaker 11: And the pneumonic plague is basically six days, seven maximum
• 20:00
  Speaker 11: for incubation period. So even right now, if there hasn't
• 20:05
  Speaker 11: been any more deaths, chances are this wasn't pneumonic plague.
• 20:10
  Speaker 11: Because if it's as serious as what the United States
• 20:12
  Speaker 11: and all these politicians and the NIH is saying, there
• 20:16
  Speaker 11: should be more than one person dying.
• 20:19
  Speaker 8: Interesting. So there is, because a lot of people hear
• 20:22
  Speaker 8: it and then they're like, hold it, are they just
• 20:24
  Speaker 8: talking about pneumonia? And you have perspective. It is a
• 20:29
  Speaker 8: different thing?
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: Yes.
• 20:32
  Speaker 11: It's basically the bubonic plague actually... transfers or changes into this,
• 20:38
  Speaker 11: and that's why people die from the bubonic plague.
• 20:41
  Speaker 8: Oh, so the bubonic plague then becomes a pneumonia that you... Okay,
• 20:47
  Speaker 8: all right.
• 20:49
  Speaker 11: My memory from school and learning about the bubonic plague.
• 20:55
  Speaker 8: But they were in a laboratory setting, too, from what
• 20:59
  Speaker 8: I understand in the stories I've read. They were in
• 21:02
  Speaker 8: a research facility looking into these bioweapons, right?
• 21:07
  Speaker 11: But the thing is, if they're not telling you the news,
• 21:12
  Speaker 11: she was out on a field trip, basically, a research
• 21:19
  Speaker 11: trip when it broke.
• 21:22
  Speaker 8: Okay. All right.
• 21:26
  Speaker 11: She was, who knows where in the fields. They say
• 21:31
  Speaker 11: it was near the Mongolian border. But the question is,
• 21:34
  Speaker 11: she was out and about. And there hasn't been any other.
• 21:39
  Speaker 11: And even if it was worse yet, if it was
• 21:40
  Speaker 11: in the lab, how come no one else is sick
• 21:43
  Speaker 11: if it's so highly contagious? Right.
• 21:45
  Speaker 8: Well, good perspective, Bob. I figured you would have it.
• 21:48
  Speaker 11: Like what?
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 21:50
  Speaker 11: So, hey, you have a great day and stay healthy.

• 28:12
  Speaker 8: Okay, something's wrong with the rewind function there. It's so awkward.
• 28:17
  Speaker 3: So....
• 28:22
  Speaker 8: Did we start the fire? Did we start burning things?
• 28:26
  Speaker 8: And if you ask the climate zealots, they'll tell you
• 28:29
  Speaker 8: the worst thing that we've ever done to mankind is
• 28:31
  Speaker 8: invented or mastered fire. Because that's what makes the air dirty. Soot.
• 28:38
  Speaker 2: Smog.
• 28:40
  Speaker 8: Because Oog the caveman said, hey, I've learned how to
• 28:45
  Speaker 8: make fire. Look, there was no fire. Now there's fire.
• 28:49
  Speaker 8: Make me your king. And from that point on, mankind
• 28:55
  Speaker 8: has been in decline. But the climate zealots say anything
• 29:01
  Speaker 8: that's burning is bad. And so they want to lock
• 29:07
  Speaker 8: everyone in their house. They were all jealous over the
• 29:11
  Speaker 8: global pandemic of SARS-CoV-2, and they wanted to be the
• 29:15
  Speaker 8: next big thing. They wanted the next great health emergency
• 29:20
  Speaker 8: that would require us to shut down our economies and
• 29:24
  Speaker 8: shut everyone up inside and tell everyone that you yourself
• 29:28
  Speaker 8: are the most dangerous thing on the planet was climate change.
• 29:32
  Speaker 8: They wanted to be the next big thing. And they didn't.
• 29:40
  Speaker 8: get it. And now they're trying to get their swerve back.
• 29:43
  Speaker 8: They're trying to get attention for themselves again. And they're
• 29:50
  Speaker 8: in court and they're in front of the Supreme Court.
• 29:58
  Speaker 8: trying to get the Supreme Court to give them permission
• 30:00
  Speaker 8: in Boulder, Colorado, municipally, and this is the case before them,
• 30:04
  Speaker 8: is should a municipal government be able to sue over
• 30:09
  Speaker 8: climate change? And here's the process, and I felt bad
• 30:15
  Speaker 8: Justice Alito not there on his book tour, apparently, and
• 30:19
  Speaker 8: has recused himself from this. We'll get into depth about
• 30:24
  Speaker 8: that with Ilya Shapiro from the Manhattan Institute. a little
• 30:27
  Speaker 8: bit later on in the program. But as I read
• 30:34
  Speaker 8: the story of the case, Boulder, as a municipal government,
• 30:41
  Speaker 8: has determined this is how much climate change, the damage
• 30:45
  Speaker 8: done to the climate by fossil fuel burning internal combustion engines,
• 30:53
  Speaker 8: have done and have cost Boulder. And they want damages.
• 31:02
  Speaker 8: And it's come all the way up to the Supreme Court,
• 31:08
  Speaker 8: who will determine whether or not a municipal government can sue. Now,
• 31:17
  Speaker 8: this started in 2018. The county and city of Boulder
• 31:22
  Speaker 8: filed the suit. against Exxon and another company, Suncor, I
• 31:27
  Speaker 8: think there's that, Sunoco, that they knowingly contributed to climate
• 31:34
  Speaker 8: change while misleading the public about fossil fuel risks. This was,
• 31:39
  Speaker 8: if you were listening to the program at the time
• 31:41
  Speaker 8: we brought this up, because they based this on the
• 31:46
  Speaker 8: tobacco lawsuits that Philip Morris et al. knew that they
• 31:54
  Speaker 8: were causing lung cancer. They knew it was dangerous, and
• 31:58
  Speaker 8: yet they kept doing it anyway. The plaintiffs seek monetary
• 32:04
  Speaker 8: damages for local harm, including infrastructure repairs, public health costs,
• 32:10
  Speaker 8: and wildfire damage. So in other words, Boulder wants Exxon
• 32:21
  Speaker 8: to pay their city budget for a year The mail
• 32:26
  Speaker 8: carrier is not on this list. Colorado Supreme Court ruled
• 32:31
  Speaker 8: in May of last year that federal law did not
• 32:34
  Speaker 8: preempt Boulder's claims, allowing the case to proceed locally. Suncor
• 32:40
  Speaker 8: and Exxon appealed, arguing the Constitution and the Clean Air
• 32:44
  Speaker 8: Act bar state law claims for harm's from interstate and
• 32:54
  Speaker 8: international greenhouse gas emissions, hung them on their own petard, basically,
• 33:01
  Speaker 8: because the global climate zealots had made this a federal
• 33:08
  Speaker 8: and international case and left Boulder hanging, sort of saying, sorry,
• 33:14
  Speaker 8: we didn't think you might want to do this. The
• 33:16
  Speaker 8: court will first decide whether it has jurisdiction to review
• 33:22
  Speaker 8: the Colorado ruling. They only just heard first arguments yesterday.
• 33:26
  Speaker 8: Justice Samuel Alito recused himself from this. He was apparently
• 33:34
  Speaker 8: not even there. He was on a book tour. So
• 33:38
  Speaker 8: it could conceivably be a 4-4 ruling if Justice Roberts
• 33:43
  Speaker 8: or one of the other conservatives on the court teeters
• 33:48
  Speaker 8: that on that. Good morning. You're on the air with Joe.
• 33:52
  Speaker 8: First thing this morning, who's this?
• 33:54
  Speaker 10: Good morning. It's Andy. I wanted to talk about vaccines
• 33:59
  Speaker 10: and damage and all that kind of thing, you know?
• 34:01
  Speaker 8: Okay. The, the, this bill. So what is, start off.
• 34:06
  Speaker 8: So before people who are joining us in progress, they
• 34:08
  Speaker 8: didn't hear the first hour of the program. Virginia has
• 34:12
  Speaker 8: a proposed legislation that would bar people who were on
• 34:16
  Speaker 8: the autism spectrum from a giving testimony. Police would not
• 34:22
  Speaker 8: be allowed to interrogate them or take statements from them.
• 34:26
  Speaker 8: They'd be inadmissible in court if somebody was on the
• 34:29
  Speaker 8: autism spectrum. And again, it's to be determined how far
• 34:34
  Speaker 8: in and who gets to determine, of course, is always good.
• 34:38
  Speaker 8: It would be the government. But their testimony would be
• 34:42
  Speaker 8: inadmissible because they fall prey to coercion and that kind
• 34:47
  Speaker 8: of thing. Um, there, Andy, so that, that catches people
• 34:50
  Speaker 8: up on the deets of the story. So what's your
• 34:53
  Speaker 8: thought on it?
• 34:54
  Speaker 10: Well, you know, we, uh, they create these problems and then,
• 34:58
  Speaker 10: you know, I mean, just the, the actual vaccines have
• 35:02
  Speaker 10: mercury in them up the wazoo. Uh, the other thing is.
• 35:07
  Speaker 8: That where they hold on, hold on. I didn't know
• 35:09
  Speaker 8: that's where they put the vaccines now.
• 35:12
  Speaker 10: No, I mean, that's, that's what's in them.
• 35:15
  Speaker 8: Oh, oh, oh, I'm sorry. I thought some doctor was like, okay,
• 35:19
  Speaker 8: bend over and expose your wazoo. I'm going to put
• 35:21
  Speaker 8: the vaccine in there. Yeah, but the adjuvants, this is
• 35:24
  Speaker 8: one of the things we've talked about this with Del
• 35:27
  Speaker 8: Bigtree from the High Wire program. Yeah, he's an incredible person.
• 35:34
  Speaker 8: But he has maintained, listen, let's just do the scientific
• 35:39
  Speaker 8: testing that we were told during COVID-19. all these leftists, oh,
• 35:44
  Speaker 8: we follow the science, but they haven't done any science
• 35:47
  Speaker 8: on this stuff. And that's all they want, you know,
• 35:50
  Speaker 8: with adjuvants, without adjuvants. I mean, when you and I
• 35:53
  Speaker 8: were kids, Andy, the vaccines didn't have any of these
• 35:56
  Speaker 8: adjuvants in it and preservatives and things like that. So
• 36:02
  Speaker 8: it was really a different scenario in the day. Sensitivities,
• 36:07
  Speaker 8: you know, because also in science, If you vaccinate for
• 36:12
  Speaker 8: a generation or two, you start to become sensitive to
• 36:16
  Speaker 8: the vaccines, generations, and that has to be factored in
• 36:22
  Speaker 8: as well. Because the argument about autism is that we're
• 36:26
  Speaker 8: creating it, and therefore are we creating an entire population
• 36:31
  Speaker 8: of people that are all of a sudden going to
• 36:33
  Speaker 8: be marginalized because they took a shot that the government
• 36:37
  Speaker 8: told them to take?
• 36:40
  Speaker 10: You're exactly right, and I'm an anti-vax kind of person.
• 36:47
  Speaker 10: I think the last time I had a vaccine was
• 36:50
  Speaker 10: for one of those tetanus shots, and I had moved
• 36:53
  Speaker 10: down here, and my physician down here knew me to
• 36:58
  Speaker 10: be somebody who was constantly kind of cutting myself because
• 37:02
  Speaker 10: I do a lot of woodworking.
• 37:03
  Speaker 8: You might want to check the optical prescription then, Andy.
• 37:10
  Speaker 8: And whether you– and there's a raging– and we could
• 37:14
  Speaker 8: consume an entire week's worth of programs on vaccines and
• 37:19
  Speaker 8: the– and then I'll get the phone calls about polio
• 37:23
  Speaker 8: and this, that. When government and medicine become intertwined, it
• 37:30
  Speaker 8: is– it's the second part of what Eisenhower warned us
• 37:33
  Speaker 8: about is this government science– intertwining that is dangerous. Obviously,
• 37:43
  Speaker 8: in one extreme is Dr. Mengele and the concentration camps
• 37:49
  Speaker 8: and follow the science there and how many millions were
• 37:55
  Speaker 8: killed for, quote, research into that kind of thing. But just....
• 38:03
  Speaker 22: Hi, I'm Mark Falter with the Financial Fitness Show. Have
• 38:07
  Speaker 22: you been keeping up on the Big Beautiful Bill? If
• 38:12
  Speaker 22: you are over the age of 60, everything you thought
• 38:16
  Speaker 22: you knew about taxes and tax preparation has just done
• 38:21
  Speaker 22: a big shift. So if you want to get more
• 38:24
  Speaker 22: information on how the Big Beautiful Bill applies to you,
• 38:30
  Speaker 22: I welcome you to call and ask for the Tax
• 38:33
  Speaker 22: Reform Kit. It's got several things in it pertaining to
• 38:36
  Speaker 22: your taxes. A booklet titled Take Charge of Your Taxes,
• 38:39
  Speaker 22: Tax Strategies, several things.

  Speaker 5: Considered by most, optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 39:07
  Speaker 5: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin.
• 39:11
  Speaker 8: Products on the market.
• 39:13
  Speaker 5: Hi, I'm Dr.
• 39:14
  Speaker 15: Mitch.
• 39:14
  Speaker 5: Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our optimized curcumin seems
• 39:20
  Speaker 5: to be a perfect addition to any nutritional program. It
• 39:24
  Speaker 5: makes sense to me that preventing or reducing inflammation is
• 39:29
  Speaker 5: a key component to our overall health. The Mayo Clinic
• 39:33
  Speaker 5: found that curcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation, has antioxidant properties,
• 39:39
  Speaker 5: and research suggests that curcumin can prevent cancer or at
• 39:44
  Speaker 5: least slow the spread of cancer and in many instances
• 39:47
  Speaker 5: make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our healthy cells even
• 39:52
  Speaker 5: from radiation. TotalWellness.com, where we help you to look good,
• 39:58
  Speaker 5: feel good, and enjoy total wellness.

  Speaker 25: I'm Andrew Saul, Commissioner of Social Security. I'm here to
• 40:06
  Speaker 25: warn you about telephone scammers pretending to be government employees.
• 40:10
  Speaker 25: Some of these scammers may say threatening things like you
• 40:13
  Speaker 25: will be arrested if you don't make payments or provide
• 40:17
  Speaker 25: personal information. Do not fall for these tricks. These calls
• 40:21
  Speaker 25: are not from us. Real Social Security employees will never
• 40:26
  Speaker 25: threaten you for information or money. If you receive a
• 40:29
  Speaker 25: call like this, hang up. Never give the caller your
• 40:33
  Speaker 25: personal information, like your Social Security number or bank account,
• 40:38
  Speaker 25: or send money in any form, cash, gift cards, wire transfers,
• 40:43
  Speaker 25: or prepaid debit cards. Report the call to our law
• 40:46
  Speaker 25: enforcement arm the Office of the Inspector General at oig.ssa.gov.
• 40:54
  Speaker 25: Share this information with your friends and family.
• 40:59
  Speaker 26: Hi, everybody. I'm Jack Hanna. Since I was a boy
• 41:01
  Speaker 26: growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 41:04
  Speaker 26: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 41:06
  Speaker 26: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 41:09
  Speaker 26: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests or
• 41:12
  Speaker 26: Swiss foxes.
• 41:13
  Speaker 8: Who work hard to provide for their young.
• 41:14
  Speaker 26: Or penguins, who travel up to 500 miles to secure
• 41:18
  Speaker 26: food for their families. Or bush babies, whose impressive jump
• 41:21
  Speaker 26: allows them to navigate the trees and the wild in
• 41:23
  Speaker 26: search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by
• 41:26
  Speaker 26: our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are our
• 41:29
  Speaker 26: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 41:32
  Speaker 26: they also perform life-saving work every day. Dogs keep us
• 41:35
  Speaker 26: safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom
• 41:38
  Speaker 26: suffer from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when
• 41:41
  Speaker 26: there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have
• 41:44
  Speaker 26: a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society
• 41:47
  Speaker 26: and help those in need. So please join me and
• 41:49
  Speaker 26: American Humane in supporting our heroic working dogs and all
• 41:52
  Speaker 26: the amazing animals on this planet we inhabit together. Go
• 41:55
  Speaker 26: to AmericanHumane.org to learn more.

  Speaker 1: Uh-oh, Brad's buzzed.
• 42:01
  Speaker 9: Oh, yeah?
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 42:04
  Speaker 16: And now a speech.
• 42:07
  Speaker 1: I just want to say that friendship is about heart.
• 42:10
  Speaker 1: Heart and brain.
• 42:12
  Speaker 8: Who's with me?
• 42:13
  Speaker 26: Good thing is, he knows when he's buzzed.
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: And my brain is saying, when it's time to go home,
• 42:18
  Speaker 1: somebody call me a ride.
• 42:20
  Speaker 8: Love that guy.
• 42:20
  Speaker 10: Me too.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: Know your buzzed warning signs?
• 42:23
  Speaker 8: Call for a ride when it's time to go home.
• 42:25
  Speaker 3: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 42:29
  Speaker 19: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 42:31
  Speaker 19: costs go to heating and cooling? Energy efficiency isn't just
• 42:35
  Speaker 19: good for the environment. It means lower utility bills, too.
• 42:40
  Speaker 19: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 42:42
  Speaker 19: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 42:46
  Speaker 19: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers.gov. That's energysavers.gov.
• 42:52
  Speaker 19: You'll learn to look for air leaks around windows and doors,
• 42:55
  Speaker 19: check ducts for holes, and improve your insulation. Another time
• 42:59
  Speaker 19: to cut energy costs is when you shop for a
• 43:01
  Speaker 19: new appliance. Look for the Energy Star logo and read
• 43:04
  Speaker 19: the Energy Guide label. And there are day-to-day things you
• 43:08
  Speaker 19: can do. Lower your thermostat in winter and raise it
• 43:11
  Speaker 19: in the summer. Close fireplace dampers when they're not in use.
• 43:15
  Speaker 19: And keep air filters clean. For more tips on saving
• 43:18
  Speaker 19: money by reducing your energy waste, check out ftc.gov slash green.

• 43:30
  Speaker 23: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 43:33
  Speaker 23: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 43:35
  Speaker 23: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 43:41
  Speaker 23: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: But help is available.
• 43:46
  Speaker 23: Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories at maketheconnection.net and learn
• 43:51
  Speaker 23: how you can support the veterans in your life.
• 43:55
  Speaker 1: Treatment works.
• 43:56
  Speaker 4: Recovery is possible.
• 44:13
  Speaker 2: We've cut the cost of radio listening by, hell, it
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: $ 1 million.
• 44:22
  Speaker 12: And call it even.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Talk Media Network.
• 44:48
  Speaker 8: So medicine, and it's easy, and the danger in discussing
• 44:56
  Speaker 8: a bill like this one in Virginia is that you
• 45:01
  Speaker 8: get down a rabbit hole and you start getting into
• 45:09
  Speaker 8: the vax injury because autism is caught up in it.
• 45:16
  Speaker 8: Just simply asking the question, Andy, on the line with us,
• 45:21
  Speaker 8: Virginia has a bill that says that if you're autistic,
• 45:24
  Speaker 8: you shouldn't be allowed to be a witness to a crime.
• 45:27
  Speaker 8: Police shouldn't. And if you give testimony, it shouldn't be
• 45:31
  Speaker 8: admissible in court. My argument, of course, is that so
• 45:35
  Speaker 8: we're going to take an entire population that it is
• 45:38
  Speaker 8: arguable that we have made this way and say that
• 45:42
  Speaker 8: you're not capable of giving witness to something. And Marko
• 45:51
  Speaker 8: writes in to 434-882-4217 on the subject of COVID and
• 45:57
  Speaker 8: the plague. He said, it's always bothered me, Joe. Why
• 45:59
  Speaker 8: would a government want to kill its own population? Because
• 46:07
  Speaker 8: it had to start paying for it. Why does a
• 46:11
  Speaker 8: government care if you get really old, Marko? if they're
• 46:15
  Speaker 8: not the ones who are paying the bill for you
• 46:18
  Speaker 8: when you get really old. And I'd love to make
• 46:22
  Speaker 8: it less about money. It's the same thing with the
• 46:28
  Speaker 8: insurance companies. Why were insurance companies complicit in COVID in
• 46:33
  Speaker 8: the zeal for a vaccine rather than a treatment? Because
• 46:40
  Speaker 8: treatments cost money, even as little as Ivermectin itself costs,
• 46:46
  Speaker 8: the doctor visit costs the insurance company money. So bean
• 46:54
  Speaker 8: counters being the ones we asked to count the beans
• 46:58
  Speaker 8: are going to say, well, what if we just make
• 47:01
  Speaker 8: it that you have to have this many vaccines? And
• 47:04
  Speaker 8: if you don't have this many vaccines and you get
• 47:06
  Speaker 8: COVID anyway, we can deny your claim, which they do.
• 47:12
  Speaker 8: If you haven't had the prescribed government-required amount of vaccines,
• 47:20
  Speaker 8: they can deny your coverage. We're talking about the plague
• 47:24
  Speaker 8: in Russia as well. It's medical science this morning. I
• 47:29
  Speaker 8: feel like what's the guy that goes around that pretends
• 47:35
  Speaker 8: to be a scientist? He's a real climate zealot. I've
• 47:43
  Speaker 8: blocked him from my memory. My kids, guilty as charged.
• 47:47
  Speaker 8: You know, we watched him on TV because he made
• 47:51
  Speaker 8: being scientific interesting because he was antic and manic. And
• 47:56
  Speaker 8: then he got his politics on. I'm like, I don't know.
• 48:00
  Speaker 8: It's like the pop culture version. I feel like him because,
• 48:06
  Speaker 8: you know, everyone's talking about science and illnesses with me.
• 48:10
  Speaker 8: Charles writes, and I haven't heard anyone bring up the
• 48:13
  Speaker 8: 1979 release of weaponized anthrax in Sverdlovsk, now Yekaterinburg again,
• 48:20
  Speaker 8: where Yeltsin was the party boss at the time. The
• 48:23
  Speaker 8: Soviets slash Russians lied for years about what happened. All
• 48:33
  Speaker 8: through the city, fevers, coughs, vomiting, at least 66 people
• 48:37
  Speaker 8: died in this. Andy was on the phone with us
• 48:44
  Speaker 8: talking about the injuries that come from, but it's a
• 48:48
  Speaker 8: self-inflicted thing, Andy. This is about, you know, we, if
• 48:52
  Speaker 8: it is conceivable that we make people autistic, then, you know,
• 48:57
  Speaker 8: banning them is a dangerous combination for a government to have.
• 49:01
  Speaker 10: For sure. But, you know, most people don't, you know,
• 49:06
  Speaker 10: they're going to follow the pediatrician. And when my son
• 49:09
  Speaker 10: was born, He was just back damaged. I mean, there
• 49:14
  Speaker 10: was so much autism there from that, you know, you know,
• 49:18
  Speaker 10: he was serious.
• 49:20
  Speaker 8: How old did it manifest how old was he when
• 49:23
  Speaker 8: it started to manifest.
• 49:27
  Speaker 10: He was in the hospital oh so it.
• 49:29
  Speaker 8: Was almost immediately there silly questions like why does a
• 49:34
  Speaker 8: newborn infant need a hepatitis B vaccine.
• 49:39
  Speaker 10: And the whole thing is crazy.
• 49:41
  Speaker 8: I don't believe she's going to be an intravenous drug
• 49:44
  Speaker 8: user for a while anyway, at least, or sexually active.
• 49:49
  Speaker 8: She better not be, unless she's in Albemarle County schools.
• 49:53
  Speaker 8: I'm sorry, allegedly. Andy, good stuff, my friend, as always.
• 49:59
  Speaker 10: And I was on the long range planning committee there.
• 50:03
  Speaker 11: That cited Monticello high school.
• 50:05
  Speaker 10: So I saw the, that long range planning committee from
• 50:10
  Speaker 10: a different perspective.
• 50:11
  Speaker 8: So let me ask you, this is the parent of
• 50:13
  Speaker 8: somebody who has autism and I don't know the range
• 50:18
  Speaker 8: or scale of your son's condition. Um, What is your
• 50:25
  Speaker 8: reaction if the state of Virginia said he was no
• 50:28
  Speaker 8: longer able to bear testimony in court? You know, he
• 50:32
  Speaker 8: couldn't bear witness to crimes against him or anything like that.
• 50:37
  Speaker 8: What would your reaction to that be?
• 50:42
  Speaker 10: In his case, it would be a blessing because he's
• 50:45
  Speaker 10: not somebody I would want, you know, as a jury
• 50:48
  Speaker 10: of my peer.
• 50:50
  Speaker 8: He did.
• 50:51
  Speaker 10: He did manage to steal my art collection and destroy
• 50:56
  Speaker 10: my hard drive on behalf of my crazy ex-wife.
• 51:01
  Speaker 8: Oh, dear.
• 51:01
  Speaker 10: I mean, he really did.
• 51:06
  Speaker 8: So you might be on the side of somebody on
• 51:09
  Speaker 8: the spectrum is too easily manipulated, it sounds like. Oh,
• 51:13
  Speaker 8: I mean, yeah, absolutely.
• 51:15
  Speaker 10: And my son is still under, with the exception of
• 51:19
  Speaker 10: when he is with AEF. a nasty aging alcoholic. And so,
• 51:26
  Speaker 10: you know, it's.
• 51:27
  Speaker 8: That's a winning, winning combination there.
• 51:30
  Speaker 10: Um, Hey, you know, I'm doing the best I can
• 51:33
  Speaker 10: out here. I left Virginia after reporting on serious crimes
• 51:37
  Speaker 10: and just, you know.
• 51:41
  Speaker 8: We do the things that we must do, Andy, uh,
• 51:44
  Speaker 8: bless you, sir. And you have a great morning.
• 51:46
  Speaker 10: Tell the truth.
• 51:47
  Speaker 8: That's, that's all we try to do.
• 51:48
  Speaker 24: Yeah.
• 51:50
  Speaker 8: And, uh, Exactly. We don't get to have our own truths,
• 51:56
  Speaker 8: you know, despite what the kids might say. Be good,
• 51:59
  Speaker 8: my friend.
• 51:59
  Speaker 11: All right. Thank you.
• 52:02
  Speaker 8: Keep doing what you're doing.
• 52:06
  Speaker 6: 434-882-4217.
• 52:07
  Speaker 8: That is the phone number. Emails come in to jtinthemorningradio
• 52:11
  Speaker 8: at gmail.com. This whole idea of creating an inadmissible testimony is,
• 52:24
  Speaker 8: I'm trying not to overstate it because people are telling
• 52:30
  Speaker 8: me I need my valium, but number one, this is
• 52:35
  Speaker 8: the government creating an underclass, permanent underclass of people that
• 52:42
  Speaker 8: cannot or should not be allowed to, and what range,
• 52:47
  Speaker 8: and who determines, what part of the government decides.
• 52:54
