"Victims of Compromise" (Wednesday October 8, 2025, Hour 2) · First Thing Today with Joe Thomas

0:05
Speaker 1: That I was shooting for the first thing today by
0:07
Joe Thomas on the Chunk Media Network, All natural and
0:11
free of artificial intelligence.
0:35
Speaker 2: Thank you early, lady guys, to be of service to
0:37
you on this tedsdy emails coming to JT in the
0:40
Morning Radio at gmail dot com, like this one from Mary,
0:45
who writes in it's fun hearing red flag Pam talk
0:48
about individual.
0:49
Speaker 3: Rights, Senators, Section seven O two is a vital source
0:54
of foreign intelligence and inter instrumental in keeping Americans safe.
1:00
We also take individual's rights of American they're individual rights
1:05
of all Americans very seriously.
1:08
Speaker 2: And she goes on to write it sounded like somebody
1:12
wrote that answer for her and she was delivering it poorly. Well,
1:16
I guess that's you know, this is what the theater
1:20
of these congressional hearings is anyway. I mean, it's it's
1:24
canned answers into campaign rhetoric that's going to just be
1:29
used for some YouTube ad. It's just at some point
1:35
it becomes, you know, nonsensical. But I get your point
1:39
seven oh two being the foreign surveillance provisions that allow
1:46
you to collect phone call and text message and internet
1:51
conversation data on foreign nationals supposedly not Americans, but was
1:56
used against Donald Trump because they made connection to a
2:01
foreign national and then anyone who ever touched that communication.
2:06
It became this really interesting almost legal primer in well.
2:15
One of the reasons that as great as it was
2:17
to go after the mafia Rico, because once you know,
2:23
one person had interaction with a foreign that was being
2:26
surveilled under seven U two, and then we can all
2:29
and then this person then becomes a tree we can
2:31
surveil and all of this other stuff that you know,
2:35
one of the reasons many of you expressed concerns about,
2:39
as you call her, red Flag Pam being there, having
2:42
instituted many overreaches over individual liberties in the effort to
2:50
protect the face of you know, her and Rick Scott
2:54
from the George, the Trayvon Martin and then Parkland situations.
3:01
And you know, listen, nobody loved those situations. Those were
3:06
nightmares for most anyone to have to deal with. But
3:11
the reason we are supposedly judicious about how we pick
3:16
these people is because these are challenging moments and you
3:22
want people with the leadership to say, hey, that's unconstitutional. Yeah,
3:27
but people are scared, Okay, that doesn't mean we tear
3:31
up the Constitution. Our first things. This Ted's d morning,
3:39
the anniversary of October seventh and the terrorist attacks in
3:43
Israel were commemorated in the Oval Office with the family
3:48
of Edna, Alexander and Alexander himself who spent six hundred
3:52
days in Hamas captivity. Meanwhile, a famous Internet famous medical
4:00
student posted that this was the day that Israel's supremacy
4:05
was challenged by those who were driven from their homes
4:09
using all of the rhetoric of the colonialists. Texas National
4:14
Guards troops are in Illinois ready to protect quote federal
4:19
personnel and property amid the anti immigration customs enforcement protests.
4:26
According to the Pentagon, therefore, a sixty day period two
4:30
hundred guardsmen quote in support of the Federal Protection Mission
4:35
to protect federal functions, personnel, and property. Senate Republicans confirmed
4:42
one hundred and seven of President Trump's nominees chest yesterday,
4:48
the upper chamber was deadlocked for shutdown, but apparently we're
4:52
able to get these nominees passed. Federal and local authorities
4:57
conducted a series of raids in the Los AIGs Angelis area,
5:00
targeting the RSP gang in San Pedro associates of the
5:07
Mexican mafia who had been paying protection money to them.
5:11
Eight of fourteen individuals charged in a federal complaint and
5:15
five defendants facing state charges taken into custody. FBI Director
5:21
Cash Pattel calls it a body blow to the Mexican
5:26
mafia's hierarchy. FBI Director Patel also promised transparency and accountability
5:36
regarding the revelations that the FBI surveiled members of the
5:43
US Senate in connection with their January sixth investigations, and
5:49
the White House says it's found temporary funding to keep
5:53
the Women and Infant Children's program still running with money
5:59
from tariffs. HI.
6:06
Speaker 4: This is Bud Foster, co host of Foster and Friends
6:09
and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
6:12
fame lunch Fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
6:15
word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail
6:18
Defense Foundation realizes the importance of helping others. Our Foundation
6:23
is a nonprofit corporation that helps fund academic scholarship for
6:26
eligible high school students. Since two thousand and nine, the
6:29
Lunch Pail Defense Foundation is raised nearly four hundred thousand
6:33
dollars and awarded over forty individual scholarships. We also support
6:37
an organ transplant program in conjunction with Duke University Medical Center.
6:42

6:50
It's always been important to win, especially when we're helping others.
7:01
Speaker 2: You know, It's true.
7:02
Speaker 5: Difficult times have a way of focusing us. We have
7:06
to think about what matters most when it comes to
7:07
our spending our healthcare. This is why so many people
7:11
are joining meta share right now. Metashare is a trusted
7:15
way to save up to fifty percent on your monthly
7:17
healthcare costs. More than four hundred thousand people have already
7:20
made the switch. It's pretty obvious why, especially now during
7:24
this challenging season with health care costs and out of pocket.
7:28
Speaker 2: Expenses going up.
7:29
Speaker 5: Metas Share can save you a lot of money. The
7:31
typical family saves five hundred dollars a month. Meta Share
7:35
works too. It's been around for thirty years. Members have
7:38
shared more than five billion dollars of each other's bills.
7:41
There are different options to choose from to fit your budget.
7:44
I'll give you the number here in a second, and
7:45
if you call, you can get a price within two minutes.
7:48
Maybe now is the perfect time to make the switch
7:51
and start saving. Here you go call eight five five
7:54
share forty. That's eight five five shre forty, eight five
7:59
five share forty.
8:03
Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas?
8:07
Speaker 7: Yes?
8:08
Speaker 6: Actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
8:13
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long
8:18
to keep our arteries open by relaxing the blood vessel walls.
8:23
By doing this, our circulation is increased, bringing blood, oxygen
8:28
and nutrients to every part of your body. Both age
8:32
and poor diet can lead to a loss of this
8:36
precious gas, and in turn, blood pressure can go up,
8:39
energy can go down, and you can get tingling in
8:42
your hands and feet. Well, our product, Ultimate nitric Oxide,
8:47
can easily help fix this lack of nitric oxide. Go

Speaker 9: Every year more American adults die from vaccine preventable diseases
9:37
and from breast cancer, traffic accidents, or AIDS. Vaccines like
9:41
the one for new macccle disease can protect adults from
9:44
illnesses that can cause misdays of work, hospitalization, and even death.
9:49
New macaccle disease is an infection that can lead to pneumonia, meningitis,
9:53
or even a severe blood infection. That's just one example
9:56
of an infection that can spread from person to person.
10:00
Getting vaccinated can help protect you and those close to you.
10:04
I'm doctor Susan Reem of the National Foundation for Infectious Diseases.
10:08
When I speak with my patients, I urge them to
10:10
get all their recommended vaccines. Now, I'm urging you to
10:13
speak with your doctor to find out which vaccines you need.
10:17

10:20
adults and the diseases they prevent, like HPV, whooping cough,

11:10
they speak. Would you notice a sixteen year old boy
11:13
who got his first job for.

11:19
Or a mother.

11:23
so her kids can have dinner. Or a fourteen year
11:26
old girl who signs up to every after school.

12:05
First Amendment. Freedom of religion, freedom of speech, freedom of
12:09
the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government.

12:46

12:49

12:50
Speaker 16: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
12:52
Speaker 15: A message from NITZA and the AD Councils Radio.
12:56
Speaker 2: It's on.
13:13
Speaker 1: First Thing Today on the Talk media Network by Joe Thomas,
13:18
the second most famous Thomas in Charlottesville.
13:21
Speaker 2: Certain more branded tamper.
13:25
Speaker 18: Little people from mountains need to bring a tample.
13:31
Speaker 17: Do the visit I can do with the spear.
13:41
Speaker 2: Happy Tasty on the radio speared.
13:50
Speaker 19: Well approximately fifteen seconds after a Democrat a G candidate,
13:52
got caught wishing death upon the toddlers of a political opponent.
13:56
Speaker 2: The Democrats are now.
13:56
Speaker 19: Dutifully rushing into the airwaves in order to claim because
14:01
why wouldn't they, After all, it is two thousand and nine.
14:04
Speaker 2: Wait a second, No, it isn't. It's two thousand. We
14:07
don't care anymore.
14:08
Speaker 19: Yeah, it's not that we don't care about the word racism, sexism, bigotry, fascist,
14:12
threat to democracy, et cetera.
14:14
Speaker 2: We just don't care when you use them.
14:17
Speaker 19: That's right, because when you inappropriately use a term over
14:20
and over again, that has nothing to do with the
14:22
actual meaning of the term, and instead it's just weaponize
14:24
as a political tool to shut down debate. We catch
14:26
on eventually, and we have done caught on. So in
14:30
the immortal words of the philosophers Rick and Morty, your
14:33
boos mean nothing to us.
14:34
Speaker 2: We've seen what makes you cheer, and that's the great
14:37
Nick Fretus on the Brew. Haha. And I was just
14:41
talking to my editors at the Daily Signal. I apparently
14:46
took their instructions too much that they said to me
14:49
at some point in my beginnings of writing for the
14:53
Daily Signal, they said, you can never explain too much
14:57
that you always want to make sure that the reader knows,
15:00
because I have a bad tendency because you and I
15:04
get elbow deep in this stuff often days and sometimes
15:08
weeks before anyone else does. That when I write these
15:12
columns for the Daily Signal, I presume that the reader
15:17
is at the same point in the story I am,
15:19
and so I've been told I've got to make sure.
15:22
So they said, you may have the J. Jones story
15:25
the Attorney General. A lot of people have heard this story.
15:28
I said, okay, So we had to strike a balance
15:32
into how much I wrote in of the backstory before
15:36
I got into my point, which is as the Government
15:39
Accountability and Oversight Report that I cite in the story.
15:44
Details in law enforcement for rent years ago, even back
15:49
in two thousand and nine, and before that, Mike Bloomberg
15:53
was paying for attorney general assistance, hiring them, paying them himself,
16:01
and giving them for free, quote unquote to attorneys general
16:05
in various states like Massachusetts and New York and Rhode
16:09
Island to go after companies that gave money too. So
16:14
I understand they weren't going to go after people who
16:17
questioned climate science. They were going to go after the
16:21
companies that gave them money. And just let that rattle
16:28
around in your bean for a second on how they
16:30
figured out, Well, we can't target the people who are
16:33
making the argument against what we want, so let's make
16:37
sure they just don't eat. Let's make sure they can't
16:41
live and turn the electricity on. That'll shut the sobs up.
16:44
I mean, it is so machiavellian. But that's why j
16:50
Jones can't be allowed to be attorney general, because he
16:53
would use his office. I mean, he's if he's fantasizing
16:57
about popping two caps into the head of a political opponent,
17:01
what is he going to do when he is the
17:03
top cop in in the state. I mean, wouldn't you
17:08
have wished you had known this about Eric Holder before
17:11
he became Attorney General. I think so. Charlie is on
17:15
the line with us at four three four nine four
17:18
three four eight eight two four two one seven. You
17:21
can also text message in there as well. Good morning, Charlie,
17:24
how are you doing? My friend?
17:26
Speaker 20: Hey Joe, good morning?
17:27
Speaker 2: How are you always great? Always great? You know I
17:31
was mentioning this yesterday, apropos of nothing. But you listen
17:34
to these leftists and after a while they just get curmudgeonly.
17:40
You know. We happen to bring up Bruce Springstein, uh, yesterday,
17:43
and he is just an angry, angry old man. All
17:47
these leftists when when they don't get what they want
17:50
when they want it, by the time they get into
17:53
their sixties and seventies, they're just cmudgeonly old so and sos.
17:58
Get off my lawn. What's the matter with you people?
18:01
Why have you been listening? You know? And you know
18:04
threatening I'll never play these songs again for you if
18:07
you don't vote out these bastards. Whereas conservatives, I wake
18:13
up every morning with a pop in my step. I'm
18:16
having a great time, even during the Biden administration. I
18:19
would love in life. Uh, maybe it's our Christian roots,
18:22
and we believe that every day is a gift from God.
18:25
I don't know, but it just seems like conservatives always
18:29
find a positive in the world, even amongst a forest
18:33
of negatives. Have you noticed the same thing.
18:37
Speaker 20: Most conservatives when they get up in the morning, and
18:39
the first thing that goes through our mind, Joe, is
18:43
how lucky.
18:43
Speaker 2: We are to be an American. Amen.
18:46
Speaker 20: Just being an American makes you if you think about it.
18:49
I've been around in the world many times, you know,
18:52
and there's no place, no place like America. We're just
18:58
so blessed.
18:59
Speaker 2: Amen. Amen, So what brings you to our phone?
19:03
Speaker 20: I have a question for you. We've heard throughout.
19:10
Speaker 2: Our growth and.
19:12
Speaker 20: Understanding how our government works that in the Senate, the
19:16
United States Senate for reconciliation, you do not need a
19:22
filibuster proof vote to vote on something.
19:27
Speaker 4: So why is that not?
19:30
Speaker 20: Why is that not happening now when we're talking about
19:33
the budget, Is it that reconciliation?
19:36
Speaker 21: No?
19:36
Speaker 2: Because, and I know that there's a specific rule of
19:40
order within the Senate that covers this budget because a
19:46
reconciliation bill, though it involves a budget amendment, and that's
19:53
how they do that's how they do reconciliation. They say, well,
19:56
it's a spending plan, so we just need a majority
20:00
the budget itself, because it is a matter of law,
20:05
not spending. It's a law that this is where they
20:09
really becomes crazy making, so it's a law that allows
20:16
for the spending rather than just the spending itself. So
20:20
to approve a budget, because in the original construction of
20:24
the Senate, the House would pass a budget, give it
20:30
to the Senate, whose job it was as representatives of
20:34
the several states, to go back to the states and say,
20:37
here's our percentage that we have to bring to Washington.
20:42
Their job was to go get the money from the
20:45
states who provided the federal government's budget. And after the
20:52
sixteenth Amendment and the institution of income tax that was
20:59
moved from the dates to Washington, Washington became the source
21:03
of their own taxation. So it's it's an arcane leftover
21:08
from the period of time where the senators would sit
21:11
there and look at a budget and say yay or
21:14
nay based on whether they thought they could get the
21:16
money from the governors of their you know, states that
21:20
they represented. So that's that's part of you know, why
21:23
these laws are in here. So that's why you have
21:26
to have, you know, a law that then empowers the
21:32
government to spend money. That's why it has to have
21:35
a filibuster or it has to pass cloture and get
21:39
to sixty votes. I hope that made some sense there.
21:42
I'm sure there are constitutional lawyers out there who are
21:46
shaking their heads saying, you know, please choke, because God
21:49
is our witness, please put the sharp pointy objects down
21:52
before you hurt yourself. But as I understand that these
21:55
are in a lot of cases leftover laws from years gone.
22:02
Speaker 6: Did you know that healthy arteries make a gas? Yes,
22:07
actually three known gas is I'm doctor Mitch, and nitric
22:12
oxide is a gas that's readily made all day long

28:24
Speaker 19: I know.
28:35
Speaker 2: How this is ted steam morning. Thank you for letting
28:38
us be of service to you four three four eight
28:40
eight two four two one seven text messages because I
28:43
know how mornings are and I know the cacophony that
28:48
they can be, because they really are the suppository of
28:51
all last minute things that we do.
28:54
Speaker 7: Know.
28:54
Speaker 2: I meant you remember who grew up listening to? Yeah, anyway,
29:01
so Charlie was on the phone with us when we
29:03
headed to the news at half passed.
29:06
Speaker 19: Well, approximately fifteen seconds after that was.
29:08
Speaker 2: The nick don't push that button again, Charlie. What was
29:13
it you called about your another question?
29:16
Speaker 20: Oh, you explained that fairly.
29:17
Speaker 2: Well.
29:18
Speaker 20: Were you aware that for the first seventy years of
29:21
our country, the money that the federal government got came
29:26
from care us.
29:28
Speaker 2: Yeah, almost entirely. Yeah, And that was and then they
29:32
started asking the States to add in, you know, kick
29:36
in some for there. It was almost like a fraternal organization.
29:41
Well you're a member of the club, so kick in
29:43
some here. So it became like membership dues coming from
29:48
the States, and that was the job of the senators
29:50
to go get But that's also the Senate's job to
29:53
lay international treaties which would be tariffs, and that's one
29:58
of the arguments because the president's tariffs are under emergency powers.
30:02
By the way, Charlie, fun fact, these emergency powers the
30:06
president's been using to impose tariffs first first brought along
30:12
by Barack Obama.
30:16
Speaker 20: Now I don't doubt that. Hey, Joe, you know, I
30:20
think you're a lot smarter than the Democrats give you
30:23
credit for.
30:24
Speaker 2: I didn't know they gave me credit for being smart
30:26
at all, So I guess that I appreciate it, Charlie.
30:31
God bless you, sir.
30:33
Speaker 20: God bless you, Joe.
30:35
Speaker 2: The the issue of how the government is structured, and
30:38
this highlights a problem. And we were talking about the
30:43
FBI earlier. Now that now the Democrats are all out
30:47
there saying you're you're you're weaponizing the Department of Justice
30:50
to go after your political opponents in all laughable hypocrisy.
30:55
They all sit there and the Attorney General, Bondie, we
31:00
believe that Trump administration. Why would you why would you
31:04
all think, Senator Durbin, what would make you think that
31:09
a president would use his position with the Attorney general
31:15
to go after political opponents? What would make you think that.
31:24
I can't imagine where you would come up with such
31:26
a craven idea. My goodness, gracious, the very thought. Oh,
31:35
I don't know, it's just it's just fun to say.
31:37
It tickles the tongue to And this is why I
31:40
use the phrase multifaceted for these creator creatures, because two
31:47
faces just is insufficient for them. They have so many.
31:55
This one's going to be there. I don't let me forget.
31:58
I want to go get the tim that caught Tim
32:00
Kaine walking down the hallway and apparently, you know, some
32:04
Democrats are safer than others when it comes to doing
32:09
horrific things. The deer senator from Virginia here our home state,
32:20
said Ralph Northam needed to go because of a thirty
32:23
year old picture from his yearbook of either Governor Northam
32:27
wearing blackface or a white sheet, and Tim Kaine said,
32:31
he's got to go. He's got to go. We've got
32:33
to get rid of him. Then confronted with j. Jones
32:38
statements about popping two caps into the head of the
32:42
Speaker of the House Todd Gilbert, and Tim Kaine said, well,
32:46
he's apologized, so I think that's sufficient. It's amazing, you know,
32:51
Like I said, multifaceted our friends at jcsgold dot com.
32:56
One thing that you don't have to worry about being
32:59
that changeable is the power of gold and silver and
33:01
the tangible assets that this family business will help you
33:05
invest in. James Luck, good morning, sir. How are you doing.
33:09
Speaker 24: I'm doing well, Joe, and you're right, gold and silver
33:13
are very powerful. So far this year in twenty twenty
33:18
five has been a record same year, and gold has
33:20
broken four thousand dollars. Is currently up over one and
33:24
a quarter percent overnight, fifty one dollars to four thousand
33:27
and thirty five dollars.
33:29
Speaker 2: I'm sorry, James, James, I have to interrupt you here. Okay,
33:32
So this is this is the broadcast professional here. You
33:36
don't report something like gold going past four thousand dollars
33:40
as as matter of factly as you did. Maybe maybe
33:43
it's a holy cow, so we it's it's fourth You
33:49
got to say.
33:50
Speaker 18: Gold, Joe, gold is four thousand dollars an ounce now,
33:56
and maybe this is the judicious approach that makes you
33:58
so so much more popular or about gold and silver
34:01
investing than some crazy man like me.
34:04
Speaker 2: But holy count mark the date down so overnight, that's
34:07
when it crested this boundary.
34:12
Speaker 24: Absolutely. Yeah, just about ten o'clock ten or eleven o'clock
34:17
last night. And you know, Joe, that's why I'm friends
34:19
with you.
34:19
Speaker 2: I let you do that part. I just fill the orders.
34:24
I'm your hype man. I'm flavor flave to your underground. Okay,
34:30
but that's okay. I can be your hype man. Therefore, Wow,
34:34
and it stayed there. It didn't like peek over it
34:37
and then run back down to the safe hair area
34:39
of three thousand some. It's still over four thousand.
34:43
Speaker 24: Yeah, that's what's a really interesting to see. It didn't
34:46
hit four thousand and then drop fifty dollars. It went
34:49
straight through four thousand, and it's up. It's that four
34:53
thousand and thirty four, which is great to see. It's
34:55
very strong. You know, gold is definitely making a movement.
34:58
Silver is following right behind. It's actually up two percent
35:02
so far today. It's at forty eight dollars and eighty
35:05
one cents, so I mean fifty dollars for silvers right
35:08
around the corner. And then we can schedule an exciting
35:11
call for when it breaks down.
35:13
Speaker 2: You know, I'm thinking back now. You and I have
35:15
been associated in your family and I have been associated
35:18
for so long, I believe that we've had phone calls
35:22
just like this when gold passed two thousand dollars an
35:25
ounce and three thousand dollars an ounce. So and it's
35:29
taken a little while. It may not have been you
35:31
and me, it might have been your mom, but somebody
35:34
in the Luck family was on the phone with me
35:36
when gold crested two thousand dollars announce as well. And
35:40
I know you and I talked about the day when
35:42
it went over three thousand, So that's a it's amazing.
35:46
But I mean people could be scared off by those
35:49
prices regarding you know, investing themselves into gold and silver, right, James,
35:54
And that's why they need to call you.
35:56
Speaker 24: Right, It is easy to be scared off by one
36:00
thousand dollars gold. But I can tell you that a
36:02
lot of our clients are still buying. They see more
36:06
strength ahead and they understand. You know, what we've always
36:09
said is that they were buying when it was one
36:11
thousand dollars. You know, they're allotment and they're going to
36:15
keep buying today even when it's four thousand, and they
36:17
just continue to stack over time, so they're ready for
36:20
the big runs. They're ready for the cheap times. But
36:24
they just have golden silver to preserve their wealth, to
36:27
pass down to future generations and to hedge against a
36:31
shrinking dollar, you know which.
36:33
Speaker 2: So this is also indicative of how we can't forget stepsister.
36:38
How is silver doing.
36:40
Speaker 24: Yah overs at forty eight dollars and eighty seven cents?
36:43
So it's knocking on the door for fifty.
36:46
Speaker 2: Well, you know, we've got to give her her own
36:48
day there, So I appreciate it, James, jcsgold dot com.
36:53
It's a family business. If you call after ten Eastern,
36:57
you get a member of the Luck family. They will
36:59

41:01
up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
41:05
I'm not only in all of their beauty and kindness,
41:07
but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
41:09
birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
41:13
who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
41:15
who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
41:18
for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
41:21
them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
41:23
of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
41:26
best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
41:30
at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
41:33
perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
41:36
at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
41:38
from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
41:42
a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
41:44
variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
41:47
help those in need. So please join me an American

The first thing today is.
44:18
Speaker 27: Just what the doctor rot it, your honor, I am
44:25
the Center from Virginia would like to propose a bill called.
44:30
Speaker 2: Eliminating the Word Can't Act. The bill, as proposed would
44:37
allow members of the US Senate to actually have their
44:41
cake and eat it too. We believe that the word
44:45
can't is an Unamerican premise, and we believe that we
44:49
hear in the US Senate should have the ability to
44:53
have our cake and eat it too. So much of arcane,
44:58
and it wasn't our kane when it was put so.
45:01
As the twentieth century dawned and America Mark two was created,
45:07
the America of the Sixteenth Amendment, the America of the
45:11
Permanent Reapportionment Act, written by racists to keep black people
45:18
from getting the majority of the House ever or even
45:22
a say or a reasonable coalition. Go look it up.
45:33
One of the things they did was they voted to
45:38
change how the US Senate was constructed in the original
45:45
Constitution because tariffs and state contributions were going to be
45:49
how the federal budget was filled. The Senate acted as
45:54
a representative of the states, the governor would appoint a
46:02
Senator who would be approved by the General Assembly of
46:06
that state, whose term was generally longer than any governor's term,
46:13
so therefore would be forced to interact with somebody who
46:17
didn't pick them. Generally, that's where the six year term
46:21
came from, because their job was to take the heat
46:27
from the General Assembly, the House of Representatives, the royaling,
46:34
boiling budgets of populism, understanding that a House that was
46:39
going to be up for reelection every two years would
46:43
be a hornet's nest of populism, right, always running for reelection,
46:49
you know. And then the Senate was supposed to get
46:53
those appropriations bills, and really the essence of what Congress
46:59
was to pay for the things that we agreed that
47:03
government should do. And the Senate would have to go
47:11
back to Sacramento, to Albany, to Hartford, to the capitals,
47:26
to go in front of their general Assembly and say,
47:30
here is our share. And it was based on population.
47:34
It was this is why the census was important, and
47:39
the General Assembly would have to say, okay, you know,
47:43
so our cot and this is why the Senate has
47:46
the final approval on budgetary matters as Charlie was asking,
47:51
you know, why can't we just get to fifty one.
47:54
I thought, if it was a spending matter, friend of
47:58
mine who is a former Senate effort, Budget Act creates
48:03
reconciliation process. Appropriation bills are not Budget Act, So basically
48:12
I was right. So what they're voting on is a
48:17
law that creates spending. It's a law that gives the
48:22
government the authority to spend money. That's why you need
48:25
to get to sixty. It's not a spending bill, even
48:29
though it's a law about spending. But it's a vestige
48:34
of when the senators, being representatives of the state, would
48:39
have to go back and get this stuff. Now they're
48:42
super legislators, anointed for six years to sit there in judgment,
48:53
and when they changed to a popular election, they never
48:56
changed the length of service of a senator. And I
48:59
always say, well, okay, the quid for the pro quo
49:02
should be, if we're going to vote for senators, then
49:05
they should run for reelection more frequently. Don't want to
49:09
make it two years like the House, make it three.
49:13
I'd even go for but I like three. Give them
49:18
an extra year than it. And certainly, once you took
49:24
the funding of the government away from the states and
49:29
put it into the pockets of the individual subjects of
49:33
the Treasury Department. And the sixteenth Amendment. What's the reason
49:38
the Senate is there if not for a vestige of
49:41
things that when we changed this stuff, we didn't want
49:44
to change this stuff. It goes back to what we
49:47
were talking about with the FBI. The FBI was started
49:50
with a noble intention because people were now more able
49:54
to go across state lines, and over time it became
50:00
a business, and then it became a racket. It became
50:06
a way to go after your political opponents because we've
50:09
over time created this black hole of law we keep piling.
50:15
When we pass a law, it just adds on to
50:18
another law previous, and it just becomes this giant, steaming
50:23
pile of law that has become so dense that justice
50:28
itself cannot escape. Thus my analogy to a black hole. No,
50:36
I don't think we need to rename that to be
50:38
politically correct. No, until the physicists tell me no, we're
50:43
now calling it a void because we don't want to
50:46
bring race into it. So all these these government changes
50:56
that have taken place since the turn of the twentieth
50:58
century all left behind vestiges of little power structures that
51:03
were perfectly fine for those who wanted change. And that's
51:06
why this bill. I don't want to bring this up
51:09
and get into it. So Senator Susan Collins of Maine,
51:16
one of those arch conservative maga types, right, wink wink,
51:22
has been circulating a discussion draft of a plan that
51:29
she says would involve giving in on the Affordable Care Act.
51:37
So fun fact, subsidies for the Affordable Care Act and
51:42
at the end of the year very much. And the
51:45
Democrats are treating this very much in the same way
51:48
Republicans were approaching the Trump tax cuts. Oh my god,
51:53
we can't let these expire. They sound the same. But
51:58
here's the interesting thing. See, the Republicans that wanted to
52:02
get the one big, beautiful bill pass so that your
52:05
taxes wouldn't go up because tax cuts had been made temporary,
52:12
and so your taxes were going to go up automatically
52:17
if they didn't pass a new law that gave you
52:20
let you keep them. This is about subsidies to big corporations.
52:27
So I think it should be indicative of what kind
52:30
of belief structure they have. Republicans think you want you
52:35
to get your money back. They want your money to
52:38
go to corporations. And these are the hills we will
52:43
battle on. But Susan Collins, I know you trust her
52:47
so much, wants to appease.
52:51
Speaker 22: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
52:54
It feels like even a family road trip is taking
52:56
a risk. We don't want the feeling of being unprotected
52:59
