Transcript
- 0:10Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
- 0:14Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
- 0:17Speaker 2: Now, mister Joe Henry was a happy little man who
- 0:21Speaker 2: became a legend in our town.
- 0:23Speaker 3: Well, thank you, thanks.
- 0:25Speaker 2: Everybody who's a lot of the spies to the happy
- 0:29Speaker 2: sound that he bot down he had bunin on and
- 0:35Speaker 2: four of the guys who kept time with that climbing.
- 0:39Speaker 3: Hand, happy pride calling mister Joe.
- 0:42Speaker 2: Henrys, I be hand clapping, open down rhythm.
- 0:47Speaker 1: Man.
- 0:47Speaker 3: I wonder if you know if if you're a clapper
- 0:50Speaker 3: or a guitar player, can we get special designations, you know,
- 0:54Speaker 3: non guitar playing individual and non hand clapping individual. Let's
- 1:00Speaker 3: check in with the New York State legislature, because obviously
- 1:03Speaker 3: everything else is fixed in New York. Everything must be
- 1:08Speaker 3: going just fine in the Empire State. If they have
- 1:12Speaker 3: time to worry about who's called what a true story?
- 1:16Speaker 3: Whose story? In New York States, it is now mother
- 1:21Speaker 3: is known as gestating parent, or they're changing the words
- 1:25Speaker 3: in the penal code and the family court definitions. And
- 1:31Speaker 3: if you want to change who mothers and fathers are
- 1:34Speaker 3: family court is or you want to do it, don't you?
- 1:38Speaker 3: Mother is now changed to gestating parent, and father is
- 1:43Speaker 3: non gestating parent. Praternity is now referred to as parentage,
- 1:50Speaker 3: and putative father is now alleged parent. And people wonder
- 1:59Speaker 3: why you say this shouldn't have a role in things
- 2:02Speaker 3: like marriage. I give you people's exhibit one for this
- 2:08Speaker 3: Monday morning, the state of New York. I believe it
- 2:16Speaker 3: has to be signed by Kathy Hokel first, but can
- 2:21Speaker 3: we get on whatever the policy betting side of your
- 2:28Speaker 3: choice is and take odds on whether Kathy Hokel will
- 2:33Speaker 3: veto that. It's a strange land we live in. I
- 2:39Speaker 3: was stunned by something, so I've been inundated as you have,
- 2:44Speaker 3: probably because celebrity Tim Allen and Tom Hanks sitting there
- 2:51Speaker 3: and there's a political conversation. I'd like to hear Tom
- 2:54Speaker 3: Hanks at the Obama Library, Tim Allen, not Tim Allen,
- 3:02Speaker 3: not at the Obama Library opening, Tom Hanks glad handing
- 3:05Speaker 3: with everyone around who could who we could find. But
- 3:10Speaker 3: they put that stuff aside, and that will be an
- 3:14Speaker 3: important point in a moment regarding your humble host and
- 3:17Speaker 3: how I spent the weekend at one hundred and twenty
- 3:22Speaker 3: million dollars into the coffers for toy Story four, which
- 3:26Speaker 3: I believe is one hundred thousand people went to go
- 3:28Speaker 3: see it, given what ticket prices are, if we should
- 3:31Speaker 3: really stop doing this. You want to talk about bad statistics.
- 3:35Speaker 3: Oh well, Toy Story four made you realize it's like
- 3:39Speaker 3: twenty five dollars to go see Toy Story four. When
- 3:44Speaker 3: Toy Story one opened, back when it was just referred
- 3:48Speaker 3: to as Toy Story, I think you could get a
- 3:51Speaker 3: movie ticket for five dollars. So let's stop comparing episode.
- 3:58Speaker 3: Oh well, it's made made one hundred and twenty million dollars. Yeah,
- 4:06Speaker 3: at five times the ticket price of the original. I
- 4:10Speaker 3: wonder know how many actual tickets, how many seats were
- 4:13Speaker 3: filled by people watching Toy Story five. And I want
- 4:23Speaker 3: to thank them for finally introducing technology into this. They
- 4:28Speaker 3: have some leap pad thing. My children, two of whom
- 4:35Speaker 3: weren't even born when Toy Story came out. I realized
- 4:41Speaker 3: that was oh, it was thirty one years since the
- 4:43Speaker 3: first I said, hold it, Toy Story. I only had
- 4:46Speaker 3: one child when Toy Story first came out, great googly muglis,
- 4:54Speaker 3: and he had a leap pad. Thirty one years ago
- 5:00Speaker 3: when Toy Story came out, my son had a leap pad.
- 5:06Speaker 3: And it's taken them thirty one years to institute the
- 5:09Speaker 3: idea of screen time into a movie that maybe kids,
- 5:13Speaker 3: you know, too much screen time bad? What and what?
- 5:17Speaker 3: I'll you know, Pixar and Disney and all of these folks.
- 5:25Speaker 3: I wonder how this movie played in China. Didn't get
- 5:28Speaker 3: didn't get any run in China. But over the weekend
- 5:33Speaker 3: I spent some time discussing friction, not in that way stop.
- 5:39Speaker 3: I was not on discord, but I was invited to
- 5:44Speaker 3: speak to the Virginia Tea Party. And there are two
- 5:47Speaker 3: hundred and fiftieth anniversary celebration at which they had a
- 5:51Speaker 3: member of the Saint John's Church Historical Society. Saint John's
- 5:57Speaker 3: Church is the church where in exile the Virginia General
- 6:02Speaker 3: Assembly was meeting in seventeen seventy five when Patrick Henry
- 6:09Speaker 3: gave his famous give me Liberty or give me Death speech,
- 6:12Speaker 3: and the fellow who was there performed the entirety of it.
- 6:16Speaker 3: I said to my wife, you got to listen to
- 6:17Speaker 3: the opening of the give me Liberty or give me
- 6:19Speaker 3: Death speech, because the opening couple of paragraphs really sets
- 6:23Speaker 3: it up. And then they said, okay, next up is
- 6:28Speaker 3: Joe Thomas from First Thing Today on the Talk Media
- 6:31Speaker 3: Network out of Stanton, Virginia, and yeah, follow that player
- 6:37Speaker 3: and people did. In seventeen seventy five, Patrick Henry was
- 6:40Speaker 3: not the last speaker before a vote was cast. But
- 6:46Speaker 3: I brought up the fact that Patrick Henry shows up
- 6:48Speaker 3: again later in American history for standing up against the
- 6:53Speaker 3: US Constitution, not in the way Barack Obama stands up
- 6:57Speaker 3: against the US Constitution, but in a lot of ways
- 7:01Speaker 3: for the very reason that Barack Obama stands up against
- 7:04Speaker 3: the US Constitution, because he was concerned about creating a
- 7:09Speaker 3: centralized federal government like Britain had with its prime ministers.
- 7:14Speaker 3: How many have they had now? Six prime ministers in
- 7:17Speaker 3: ten years. We've had three presidents, they've had six prime ministers,
- 7:24Speaker 3: going to be seven soon. But I brought up the
- 7:30Speaker 3: fact that he, along with George Mason and James Monroe,
- 7:37Speaker 3: all opposed this idea of this US Constitution replacing the
- 7:42Speaker 3: Articles of Confederation. And there's a wonderful book it's called
- 7:47Speaker 3: Founding Rivals. It's about Monroe and Madison because both of them,
- 7:52Speaker 3: Monroe moved to Charlottesville to hang out with Thomas Jefferson
- 7:56Speaker 3: Madison already lived here and was already hanging out with
- 8:00Speaker 3: Thomas Jefferson at the time awkward, But it was Monroe
- 8:06Speaker 3: who really brokered the peace and convinced Madison to take
- 8:13Speaker 3: what was the first part of Virginia's Constitution, which is
- 8:17Speaker 3: what we now call the Bill of Rights, and amended
- 8:20Speaker 3: onto this constitution, and with that they would get their
- 8:33Speaker 3: agreement to it. And to this day, still at the
- 8:38Speaker 3: Supreme Court level, our Bill of Rights still is the
- 8:41Speaker 3: shield against authoritarianism. They have figured out a way to
- 8:45Speaker 3: make it inaffordable to defend yourself, but that's another matter.
- 8:50Speaker 4: In today's troubled world. Are USA armed forces stand ready
- 8:53Speaker 4: to protect you and our American way of life When
- 8:57Speaker 4: veterans return to civilian life, they deserve your recognition and support.

- 10:01Speaker 5: First thing today.
- 10:10Speaker 3: Gotta be gotta be. Hope you enjoyed your non gestating
- 10:19Speaker 3: persons Day yesterday. That is by New York state code.
- 10:24Speaker 3: Now you can no longer. It's not father's it's non
- 10:28Speaker 3: gestating person's day. So I hope you enjoyed it and
- 10:32Speaker 3: you're had a wonderful weekend of celebrating your non gestation there. Sorry,
- 10:38Speaker 3: thanks for playing, though I'm waiting. This is real story
- 10:41Speaker 3: out of New York Friday, because everything is perfect in
- 10:44Speaker 3: the Empire State that they now have past legislation taking
- 10:51Speaker 3: the words father and mother out of the family court code.
- 10:56Speaker 3: By the way, if there's a place you don't want
- 10:59Speaker 3: the words mother or father, it's in family court and
- 11:01Speaker 3: replaced it with gestating persons and non gestating persons. And
- 11:08Speaker 3: I'm waiting for the first lawsuit that will be filed
- 11:11Speaker 3: under the you know NAACP or ac LU or the
- 11:16Speaker 3: Southern Poverty Law Center, who's probably sleeping with one of
- 11:20Speaker 3: the New York state legislators that pass this, judging by
- 11:25Speaker 3: what we've learned about Southern Poverty Law Center so far,
- 11:28Speaker 3: but you know they'll file a lawsuit on behalf of
- 11:31Speaker 3: some transman who works, as you know, doing drag queens
- 11:37Speaker 3: storytime hours at local public libraries and elementary schools, insisting
- 11:42Speaker 3: that he's been diminished as a person by being referred
- 11:46Speaker 3: to as non gestating and he wants to be considered
- 11:50Speaker 3: just as likely to gestate as anyone else in New York.
- 11:53Speaker 3: You know it's coming, You know it's coming, and just
- 11:57Speaker 3: bracing you for it. Our friend James, you know he's
- 12:00Speaker 3: coming along to tell us how gold and silver are
- 12:02Speaker 3: greeting this day. Oil prices are plummeting, James, how is
- 12:06Speaker 3: that treating gold? Good morning. I hope you had a wonderful,
- 12:09Speaker 3: nonjest stating person's day yesterday.
- 12:14Speaker 6: Yeah, no gestation for me yesterday.
- 12:18Speaker 3: What's the old joke? Somebody? It was Joan Rivers who
- 12:21Speaker 3: somebody said that years of years ago, and I think
- 12:24Speaker 3: it was on the tonight show. So she said if
- 12:26Speaker 3: men were responsible for having babies, the human race would
- 12:29Speaker 3: never have made it out of the first generation. Probably true.
- 12:34Speaker 3: Is not a high pain threshold amongst us non chest
- 12:38Speaker 3: stating persons. But anyway, I hope you had a great weekend.
- 12:42Speaker 7: Yeah, absolutely, it was very nice and it's good to
- 12:46Speaker 7: see gold and silver are feeling good this morning as well.
- 12:50Speaker 7: Gold is up about one third percent, up fifty five
- 12:53Speaker 7: dollars to four thousand, two hundred and eleven dollars. Silver
- 12:58Speaker 7: up even stronger, up two and a half percent, which
- 13:01Speaker 7: is a dollar fifty five in the green today to
- 13:04Speaker 7: sixty six dollars and forty five cents. So great to
- 13:07Speaker 7: see silver bouncing off of support there that we've seen
- 13:10Speaker 7: it tests a couple times now, which is which is great.
- 13:12Speaker 3: Do you know if you had a busy weekend online
- 13:15Speaker 3: at jcsgold dot com, I know that your Mondays are
- 13:18Speaker 3: usually full of fulfilling all the orders that came in
- 13:21Speaker 3: over the weekend.
- 13:23Speaker 7: Yeah, Mondays you usually are pretty busy with online orders,
- 13:26Speaker 7: and it looks that way today, you know, is just
- 13:30Speaker 7: like every other Monday. A lot of people are taking
- 13:32Speaker 7: advantage of especially if we have a nice little dip
- 13:35Speaker 7: like we did on Friday. You know, if cheaper price
- 13:38Speaker 7: is going into the weekend, a lot of people really
- 13:40Speaker 7: do take advantage of that discount and solver, which is great.
- 13:43Speaker 3: Yeah, feeling good on a Monday then, And please don't
- 13:47Speaker 3: just take my word for it. This is why I
- 13:48Speaker 3: suggest you call a family business that's been in this
- 13:52Speaker 3: business since nineteen sixty one in a volatile marketplace. If
- 13:57Speaker 3: you've survived that long, you know a thingers three about
- 14:00Speaker 3: gold and silver in the markets and ways to invest
- 14:03Speaker 3: in it and ways to have fun with it as well.
- 14:05Speaker 3: At four three four ninety seven nine coin that's two
- 14:10Speaker 3: six four six call him after ten Eastern or just
- 14:13Speaker 3: go online and look now at jcsgold dot com. You
- 14:17Speaker 3: have a great Monday morning, James.
- 14:19Speaker 6: Thanks show you too.
- 14:32Speaker 1: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas.
- 14:39Speaker 2: He's down in Louisiana.
- 14:40Speaker 8: Why the bio clothes.
- 14:42Speaker 2: There's a little man call Hero Old Joe. He has
- 14:45Speaker 2: a red shirt and a bold cat cap when.
- 14:47Speaker 3: He walks his dumb boots. Pip Pop Laud, Happy Pride.
- 14:51Speaker 3: Months to you.
- 14:53Speaker 4: Drink about Dennis backa gol team.
- 14:59Speaker 5: That's fine, they don't Hero go.
- 15:03Speaker 3: If you're catching a theme here. We're just finding all
- 15:05Speaker 3: the Pride Month songs that mentioned the name Joe. This morning.
- 15:09Speaker 3: Four three, four eight eight two four to two one
- 15:12Speaker 3: seven is our phone number. As we lay out the
- 15:14Speaker 3: things that happened since last we spoke and give you
- 15:17Speaker 3: our analysis of it and agree or disagree that we
- 15:21Speaker 3: don't screen and if you disagree, that is cool, because
- 15:25Speaker 3: that's where the good stuff comes from. The Bill of
- 15:28Speaker 3: Rights still to this day, is defending our rights to
- 15:33Speaker 3: speak freely, to gather with those we choose to gather with,
- 15:38Speaker 3: to defend ourselves with the armaments of our choice, to
- 15:42Speaker 3: be kept private from government searches and seizures, to own
- 15:49Speaker 3: private property. Granted, the authoritarian state that Patrick Henry was
- 15:56Speaker 3: afraid of has found that if they can bankrupt you
- 16:03Speaker 3: in the process of defending yourself, that's a win. But
- 16:07Speaker 3: we have some great organizations like the Alliance Defending Freedom
- 16:11Speaker 3: and the Founding Freedom's Legal Center and Pacific Legal Foundation,
- 16:15Speaker 3: Rutherford Institute, all these institutes and legal firms that will
- 16:19Speaker 3: pro bono thanks to the support of thanks to support
- 16:24Speaker 3: of people like you and the Helena Rubinstein Foundation. No seriously,
- 16:30Speaker 3: because folks contribute to these legal defense funds you're able
- 16:37Speaker 3: to take your case when the authoritarian state and they're
- 16:40Speaker 3: hot and cold running lawyers show up. They know how
- 16:44Speaker 3: to get in front of the Supreme Court, make a
- 16:46Speaker 3: good argument and walk away with a win. Ask the
- 16:51Speaker 3: bakers in Colorado, as the football coach, ask the realtor
- 16:56Speaker 3: here in Virginia. You can get wins. You can get wins.
- 17:11Speaker 1: Listen any time you like. We won't tell your HR director,
- 17:15Speaker 1: but we might post it to your grinder profile. First
- 17:17Speaker 1: thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
- 17:21Speaker 3: What Names looking Up? I haven't lost my mind celebrating
- 17:30Speaker 3: Pride Month. I feel like I'm losing my mind. Sometimes
- 17:32Speaker 3: down is up, up is down. Popularity in front of
- 17:36Speaker 3: the TV cameras is what you want to make of it.
- 17:39Speaker 3: I can only tell you the truth. And one of
- 17:42Speaker 3: those people in American history that I look up to
- 17:45Speaker 3: for those Frederick Douglas, and I was just I was interested.
- 17:49Speaker 3: I saw this story break and I thought I'd share
- 17:51Speaker 3: it with you. Some descendant of Frederick Douglass out there
- 17:55Speaker 3: on PBS, I know understand the understand in the landscape. Douglas.
- 18:03Speaker 3: What's his fellow's name? Frederick Douglas Kevin Douglas Green is
- 18:10Speaker 3: the name of the Fellaws, descendant of Frederick Douglas, said
- 18:17Speaker 3: this in an event over the weekend by Independence Hall
- 18:20Speaker 3: in Philadelphia. I can't feel sorry for certain populations in
- 18:26Speaker 3: the United States who feel that they have lost their
- 18:30Speaker 3: rights and privileges. Just think about the amount of time
- 18:34Speaker 3: that it took us for African Americans in this country
- 18:38Speaker 3: to achieve those rights and privileges. What your great great
- 18:50Speaker 3: great great great Grandpappy would say to you, now, Kevin,
- 18:56Speaker 3: So I believe, and I believe that the key to
- 19:01Speaker 3: saving this nation is remembering that nobody gives you rights
- 19:05Speaker 3: and privileges. God gave you your rights, and the US government,
- 19:12Speaker 3: as could any government, if so construed, is there to
- 19:17Speaker 3: protect it. But what Douglas is talking about is the
- 19:22Speaker 3: kind of state that Barack Obama wants. And it's understandable.
- 19:26Speaker 3: I mean, it's you know, storybook man. When storybook man says,
- 19:32Speaker 3: you know, the government failed us, I guess you know,
- 19:37Speaker 3: who are you to say it any differently than that?
- 19:44Speaker 3: But you don't get your rights and privileges from the government.
- 19:49Speaker 3: That's the problem is we're looking for the government to
- 19:52Speaker 3: give us our rights and privileges. The word privilege is
- 19:58Speaker 3: you know, even more so problematic because that's a bigger
- 20:03Speaker 3: problem than getting rights.
- 20:05Speaker 9: I mean, you got the first sort of mainstream African
- 20:10Speaker 9: American who is articulate and bright and the clean and
- 20:16Speaker 9: myic looking guy.
- 20:17Speaker 4: I mean, it's that's a story.
- 20:19Speaker 3: But man, don't and I understand what you're saying about
- 20:24Speaker 3: getting This is the gas light world that we're living in,
- 20:28Speaker 3: that you get your rights from the government, that somehow,
- 20:35Speaker 3: you know, there's some government commission that's sitting there saying, well,
- 20:39Speaker 3: Joe should have the right to do radio, but not
- 20:41Speaker 3: everyone else. Just give him the right. And that's where
- 20:44Speaker 3: we're headed. That is where we are headed now. I'm
- 20:49Speaker 3: worried as we approach the two hundred and fiftieth anniversary
- 20:54Speaker 3: of the Declaration of Independence, that the push will begin
- 21:03Speaker 3: anew to relegate the Constitution and the Bill and the
- 21:10Speaker 3: Declaration and the Bill of Rights to some archive at
- 21:16Speaker 3: the Smithsonian Institution, because it's grown inadequate for twenty first
- 21:26Speaker 3: century life. And it hasn't. It hasn't in the least.
- 21:29Speaker 3: And I believe Kevin, if you're a great great great
- 21:34Speaker 3: great great Grandpappy, we're here. He would tell you the
- 21:40Speaker 3: same thing, probably call you some rude names as well.
- 21:52Speaker 3: My dumb grandson is But that is the issue of
- 22:02Speaker 3: the day is where do our rights come from?
- 22:06Speaker 10: Your opening comments and I asked to get a copy
- 22:10Speaker 10: of them so I could read them and make sure
- 22:11Speaker 10: I quoted them correctly. You stay, and this is a
- 22:15Speaker 10: quote from Secretary Rubio. Our rights come from God, our Creator,
- 22:19Speaker 10: not from our laws, not from our governments. I find
- 22:22Speaker 10: that very very troubling. I'm a devout person. I was
- 22:26Speaker 10: a missionary in Honduras. We've got other devout folks in
- 22:29Speaker 10: this room.
- 22:30Speaker 3: Notice how he avoids saying Catholic, which is what he is.
- 22:33Speaker 10: Christian, Jewish, Muslim American.
- 22:36Speaker 3: The notion that right now, by the way, can they
- 22:38Speaker 3: be Christian American and Jewish American if we're going to
- 22:41Speaker 3: be Musslim American.
- 22:43Speaker 10: Don't come from laws and don't come from the government,
- 22:47Speaker 10: but come from the Creator. That's what the Iranian government believes.
- 22:50Speaker 10: It's a theocratic regime that bases its rule on Shia
- 22:55Speaker 10: law and target soonies behinds Jews and other religious minorities.
- 23:02Speaker 3: And that's not what saying. Noticed what he did there
- 23:05Speaker 3: is he dragged the arc over into something that made
- 23:09Speaker 3: it sound like he was making a point. One could
- 23:16Speaker 3: only imagine what a discussion between Tim Kain and Lindsey
- 23:24Speaker 3: Graham must sound like these days. But that's that was
- 23:36Speaker 3: that close to being vice president right there, And that's
- 23:43Speaker 3: his belief is that your rights don't come from God.
- 23:46Speaker 3: No they don't. They I mean they do come from God,
- 23:50Speaker 3: but they have to be protected by government. Iranians, men
- 23:55Speaker 3: and women on the streets of Iran have unalienable rights life, liberty,
- 23:59Speaker 3: pursuit of happiness. If you don't believe that, you're fooling yourself.
- 24:05Speaker 3: Every human on this planet was born with those rights.
- 24:09Speaker 3: And once you grasp that and that they're only failing
- 24:13Speaker 3: and not being able to pursue those rights is the
- 24:16Speaker 3: government there living under, then you will become a much
- 24:20Speaker 3: more effective combatant in our battle of the burgeoning American state. Because,
- 24:29Speaker 3: believe me, Tim Kaine's ilk, especially those amongst the Republican Party,
- 24:37Speaker 3: are growing. A couple of emails on our point about
- 24:42Speaker 3: toy Story, Joe, toy Story has to be very careful.
- 24:49Speaker 3: They want to sell in the Chinese market. I believe
- 24:52Speaker 3: China owns a good bit of Disney stock. As well,
- 24:56Speaker 3: so the House of Mouse isn't going to go out
- 24:58Speaker 3: there and bash TikTok for teaching the Little Girl and
- 25:05Speaker 3: Toy Story five that her parents don't love her and
- 25:09Speaker 3: that they should talk to their teacher who does, about
- 25:13Speaker 3: why they feel weird as a female. I can't necessarily
- 25:19Speaker 3: disagree with you. I've seen this happen before. Tom Garrett
- 25:24Speaker 3: will be back with us in a couple of minutes
- 25:27Speaker 3: his documentary Exile. They loved it at Netflix. They were
- 25:31Speaker 3: ready to put it on only if they took the
- 25:34Speaker 3: part out about China. And you're arguing about whether Donald
- 25:41Speaker 3: Trump is making money in the Middle East while China
- 25:48Speaker 3: is changing entire bits of public policy because they scare
- 25:53Speaker 3: you into thinking you're somehow going to lose access to
- 25:56Speaker 3: the Chinese marketplace.
- 26:10Speaker 5: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today,
- 26:13Speaker 5: thank you for letting us be of service to you.
- 26:16Speaker 3: Four three four eighty two four two one seven. That
- 26:19Speaker 3: is the phone number, because I'll tell you what went
- 26:22Speaker 3: on last night, and then I'll ask you how it's
- 26:24Speaker 3: impacting you. And I know sometimes it's like, you know,
- 26:29Speaker 3: please a life rafter or something. So you think about
- 26:33Speaker 3: the simplicity and this goes back to something else that
- 26:37Speaker 3: was said that I want to bring up has to
- 26:41Speaker 3: do with the Founding Fathers, and one of these this event,
- 26:46Speaker 3: one of the descendants of Brown, said, well, I don't
- 26:51Speaker 3: think you know, we should be sanctifying and glorifying the
- 26:56Speaker 3: Founding Fathers on this two hundred and fiftieth anniversary. Really,
- 27:02Speaker 3: why is that? Why would we Because they allowed slavery
- 27:05Speaker 3: still to exist. So if you decry that, then you
- 27:10Speaker 3: must decry slavery in general now including the open borders,
- 27:15Speaker 3: or you decry crony capitalism, which was what drove the
- 27:19Speaker 3: slave establishment in the Southeastern United States. I was reading
- 27:29Speaker 3: one piece over the weekend that claimed that the United
- 27:34Speaker 3: States shouldn't have existed at all, and that I brought
- 27:37Speaker 3: up Patrick Henry. I brought up Patrick Henry he should
- 27:41Speaker 3: have succeeded in stopping the US Constitution, because the US
- 27:45Speaker 3: Constitution is the seed of all ills, including the Bill
- 27:48Speaker 3: of Rights. That the Bill of Rights is restricting the
- 27:52Speaker 3: US government from creating the rights of housing and the
- 27:56Speaker 3: right for medicine, and that kind of thing. And I said, well,
- 27:59Speaker 3: first off, John Locke, for whom most of the work
- 28:02Speaker 3: was based on, said very clearly that you cannot have
- 28:05Speaker 3: a right to something that requires somebody else to perform
- 28:11Speaker 3: duties for you. That's called slavery. And Locke was against that.
- 28:14Speaker 3: He saw it all over the world. But he in
- 28:18Speaker 3: his philosophy that became the Enlightenment, said, you know, one
- 28:22Speaker 3: of the problems with modern times at that point was
- 28:25Speaker 3: the they viewed that you had the right to own
- 28:28Speaker 3: human beings and that they were there to serve you.
- 28:33Speaker 3: Go back to Rogukana and is ten dollars a day
- 28:36Speaker 3: for childcare is the permanent underclass that I've been warning
- 28:40Speaker 3: you about. So when they say let's not sanctify or
- 28:45Speaker 3: founding fathers, this is what warns me that when we're
- 28:49Speaker 3: pasted two fifty by July fifth or sixth, you'll start
- 28:53Speaker 3: to hear scholarly discussions about maybe America is just too
- 28:59Speaker 3: big and diverse the country, huh. And that will lead,
- 29:04Speaker 3: of course, logically into a discussion of let's do something new.
- 29:09Speaker 3: We're smart. Let me get to you at four three
- 29:12Speaker 3: four eight eight two four, Good morning, you're on the
- 29:15Speaker 3: air with Joe. First thing this morning. Who's this?
- 29:18Speaker 11: Hey, I'm glad you're answering the phone. This is Sandy.
- 29:21Speaker 3: Always do and I answered it myself, vib no, no,
- 29:25Speaker 3: I get that that.
- 29:26Speaker 11: This is the answer your sales humor. So Patrick Henry,
- 29:31Speaker 11: without a question, was the most influential of the founders.
- 29:36Speaker 11: Oh you know he no question about that. I grew
- 29:40Speaker 11: up giving Patrick Henry speeches in front of the Yorktown Monument.
- 29:46Speaker 3: Very nice.
- 29:46Speaker 11: Definitely passed your Heritage Foundation test. That the thing that's
- 29:55Speaker 11: like in front of me right now is the you know,
- 29:59Speaker 11: the local government is being or one of the people
- 30:03Speaker 11: is being endorsed by the sheriff. And I was like,
- 30:07Speaker 11: who was that guy that I heard talk that they
- 30:11Speaker 11: had these women for Trump like lectures when I first
- 30:14Speaker 11: moved down here at my house is being built and
- 30:16Speaker 11: I had already.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Gone down to Florida.
- 30:18Speaker 11: Okay, right, you know we're aging out. Saved me at
- 30:22Speaker 11: least three hundred thousand dollars just from not having to
- 30:25Speaker 11: pay the income tax in Virginia.
- 30:28Speaker 3: Good and you know whatever.
- 30:31Speaker 11: I had a couple of things that were kind of
- 30:33Speaker 11: screwy in that fam inside the family that screwed up
- 30:36Speaker 11: the sale.
- 30:37Speaker 3: Right. But you were saying, you were saying about the
- 30:40Speaker 3: about the founding fathers and Patrick Henry, you know, and
- 30:46Speaker 3: I was talking about back to you.
- 30:49Speaker 11: Know, private property the right to defend it locally. There's
- 30:53Speaker 11: a chiropractor. I didn't even know that was his backstory.
- 30:58Speaker 11: But he's been indorsed, but you know for he run
- 31:00Speaker 11: to re election for the uh the sheriff, and you
- 31:05Speaker 11: know this, the sheriff is actually a constitutional sheriff. Knew
- 31:11Speaker 11: he knew.
- 31:12Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean you've Richard.
- 31:14Speaker 11: Mack When I mentioned that in a little side conversation
- 31:17Speaker 11: before he was even elected, it was kind of amazing thing.
- 31:21Speaker 11: Our local sheriff here has a law degree, he did
- 31:25Speaker 11: serve in the military, and uh, you know, he just
- 31:29Speaker 11: he's you know, certainly, Yeah, he's moved in a significant
- 31:35Speaker 11: way by the Thames that are happening around us. But
- 31:38Speaker 11: at the same time he's taken uh this this the
- 31:44Speaker 11: people who both Tallahassee but also the the federal government
- 31:51Speaker 11: has taken these positions that make it criminal to like
- 31:57Speaker 11: protect your own property in terms of like these dreams systems.
- 32:01Speaker 11: I mean, my neighborhood is going to flood again, and
- 32:06Speaker 11: I have a plan that's pretty easy in my backyard
- 32:09Speaker 11: because all I have to do is drop a little
- 32:10Speaker 11: pump in there and throw the fig the water into
- 32:15Speaker 11: this natural area which has been overrun with weed basically,
- 32:21Speaker 11: but they had the county had been given the wrong
- 32:27Speaker 11: calculations by a factor of four in terms of the
- 32:30Speaker 11: amount of order that was going to be coming in.
- 32:35Speaker 11: I get you, you know, I mean seriously, and you
- 32:39Speaker 11: know that. So they we have this series. I think
- 32:43Speaker 11: they've had three different management companies, and the current one
- 32:48Speaker 11: is like been like, uh, convinced that they needed all
- 32:54Speaker 11: costs to save their jobs in order to you know,
- 32:59Speaker 11: not like even put a little pit between my backyard.
- 33:04Speaker 3: And that's crazy. Yeah, that's no. I mean it's real though,
- 33:08Speaker 3: Oh no, I never argue that it's real. But this
- 33:11Speaker 3: is the stuff that we have to fix. This, this patronage,
- 33:16Speaker 3: this using you know, of taxpayer dollars as if they
- 33:20Speaker 3: were your own venture capital firm. This is where all
- 33:23Speaker 3: of it and so it begets poverty, Poverty begets need,
- 33:29Speaker 3: need begets desperation, and then desperation is met at the
- 33:33Speaker 3: intersection by Democrats who say we'll create an aid program.
- 33:37Speaker 3: That was why I played that clip of Rocanna. He says,
- 33:40Speaker 3: if he takes, if you take five percent of all
- 33:42Speaker 3: of Elon Musk's wealth, as if it was yours in
- 33:46Speaker 3: the first place, you could send ten dollars a day
- 33:50Speaker 3: to to somebody to try to find child care.
- 33:52Speaker 8: Ten dollars a day.
- 33:54Speaker 3: I don't know where you are, Andy, but where I am,
- 33:57Speaker 3: you can't they pay more than that per hour for
- 34:00Speaker 3: a daycare provider.
- 34:02Speaker 11: Sure, no, I remember one of my little Asperger. I
- 34:06Speaker 11: have a backstamaged son who's autistic, and I start with
- 34:10Speaker 11: him at great length yesterday. You know, I did he
- 34:16Speaker 11: commit because he's you know, it's crazy mother. But he's
- 34:19Speaker 11: also married to uh, a nasty alcoholic.
- 34:24Speaker 3: Oh no, that's I hope his way out of it there.
- 34:29Speaker 11: And so yeah, it's too bad, but you know, it
- 34:32Speaker 11: is what it is. And I just but I constantly
- 34:34Speaker 11: am reaching out to him, encouraging him to make his
- 34:37Speaker 11: hard and he always he's not totally a self eater,
- 34:41Speaker 11: but he, you know, have a house and you know,
- 34:44Speaker 11: just west athlete.
- 34:46Speaker 12: Uh.
- 34:47Speaker 11: And you know, I just can't go there because too
- 34:51Speaker 11: it's too hurtful to even be there.
- 34:55Speaker 3: I'm glad you got to talk to him. I've got
- 34:57Speaker 3: to run, Andy, But we're coming up on a break here.
- 34:59Speaker 3: But what you've done, oh yeah, calling it out? We're done?
- 35:02Speaker 11: YEA did y'all Did y'all solve the did the the
- 35:07Speaker 11: problem with the getting that intent up?
- 35:12Speaker 3: Well, the antenna's up. It's getting the electric company to
- 35:16Speaker 3: run out there. I feel like I need to hang
- 35:18Speaker 3: a sign saying plug in here for the regional greenhouse
- 35:21Speaker 3: gas Initiative and that might get the attention of the
- 35:24Speaker 3: electric company. I don't know, but we just need to
- 35:26Speaker 3: run the electric Do you have any extra extension cords
- 35:29Speaker 3: because I'm at that point where I'm just going to
- 35:31Speaker 3: run like a crap ton of election extension cords from
- 35:35Speaker 3: a nearby building to it and just start. Yeah.
- 35:37Speaker 11: I can give you a photograph of all the the
- 35:41Speaker 11: uh when I was I escaped from my crazy wife.
- 35:46Speaker 3: Well, I got to run to break here. I don't
- 35:49Speaker 3: know if you have time to stick the landing out
- 35:51Speaker 3: of Andy, But thank you, sir for asking.
- 35:53Speaker 12: Life can change so abruptly, just ask Paul. He's a
- 35:57Speaker 12: hard working entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
- 36:01Speaker 12: he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
- 36:04Speaker 12: use of both of his arms.
- 36:06Speaker 13: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a
- 36:07Speaker 13: computer type, couldn't use a mouse, I could not hold
- 36:10Speaker 13: my son who was about a month old.
- 36:11Speaker 12: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
- 36:15Speaker 12: but they're so thankful that they're members of metas Share.
- 36:19Speaker 13: I think if someone asked me, like, hey, does medicehare
- 36:21Speaker 13: really were I'm living proof that it works. My four
- 36:25Speaker 13: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
- 36:28Speaker 13: have been healed, are living proof that menashare works. Just
- 36:31Speaker 13: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
- 36:34Speaker 13: are going to be taken care of when we have
- 36:36Speaker 13: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
- 36:38Speaker 13: blessing to us.
- 36:39Speaker 12: It could be a huge blessing to you to people
- 36:41Speaker 12: save so much and love being part of Meta Share.
- 36:44Speaker 12: Call now eight five five share forty. That's eight five
- 36:48Speaker 12: five share four zero eight five five share forty.
- 37:04Speaker 5: From the home of the First Amendment. First thing today.
- 37:17Speaker 3: Usually a podium is involved in.
- 37:26Speaker 8: Change ringing this piece out.
- 37:48Speaker 3: Of the Colorado Springs Gazette about the crab crumbling infrastructure there, uh,
- 37:56Speaker 3: and it just reminded us of what we were talking about.
- 37:59Speaker 3: And it's the issue of what are you spending the
- 38:04Speaker 3: money on? Here in Virginia, We're going to give local
- 38:07Speaker 3: governments an extra one percent sales tax on top of
- 38:10Speaker 3: what the state already collects. There too, there's the aging infrastructure.
- 38:16Speaker 3: High costs contribute to water failures in rural Colorado. Well,
- 38:22Speaker 3: you know, here in rural Virginia, we actually work off
- 38:25Speaker 3: of wales. But I don't know what the ecosystem is
- 38:27Speaker 3: like in Colorado. I don't know the availability of aquifers
- 38:30Speaker 3: and well water there. But these are the basic things. See,
- 38:35Speaker 3: this is what happens when you allow government to mystify
- 38:38Speaker 3: you with the intricacies of managing everybody's life. They fail
- 38:43Speaker 3: at the basics. If streets and infrastructure are important to it,
- 38:49Speaker 3: so why are you asking them to do more things
- 38:52Speaker 3: for you? Raymond writes in under the subject of the
- 38:57Speaker 3: government being too or the country being too big, rights,
- 39:00Speaker 3: they are right. We are too big of a country
- 39:03Speaker 3: to be run from one central location. The founding fathers
- 39:07Speaker 3: recognized this, and that's why the USA was set up
- 39:09Speaker 3: as a federal system. Nuff said. Might drop for you there, Ray,
- 39:16Speaker 3: And one of the failings of it is when we
- 39:18Speaker 3: froze the size of the US House of Representatives at
- 39:21Speaker 3: four hundred and thirty five, and we took the Senate
- 39:24Speaker 3: away from the states technically we took the taxation away
- 39:29Speaker 3: from the states. At the same time, the states were
- 39:31Speaker 3: supposed to collect the necessary monies to contribute to the
- 39:37Speaker 3: federal budget, and the federal budget was laid out by
- 39:40Speaker 3: the House members. Which yes, if we go back to
- 39:43Speaker 3: the nineteen thirty census and how we were represented, then
- 39:48Speaker 3: we should have three almost four times as many members
- 39:52Speaker 3: of the House of Representatives. You think you'd feel like
- 39:55Speaker 3: you're more heard by your local congressman. Do you think
- 39:58Speaker 3: there might be more chances for Oh, I don't know
- 40:00Speaker 3: what's happening to Keir Starmer and in the Labor Party
- 40:04Speaker 3: to see actual functional change when things are not working out.
- 40:10Speaker 3: But the careful part of that is making sure you
- 40:13Speaker 3: know what it is they're supposed to be taken care of.
