  Speaker 6: Whatever happened to the old days where a customer was
• 1:59
  Speaker 6: a customer and it didn't matter. I guess there's a
• 2:04
  Speaker 6: certain point where everything is a campaign now, and I
• 2:08
  Speaker 6: don't know about you, but I get weary of it.
• 2:12
  Speaker 6: Not just leary, but weary. It's exhausting every conversation you're

  Speaker 6: waiting for somebody to show up on Twitter saying I
• 2:23
  Speaker 6: heard Joe Thomas say, or Joe Thomas was at something
• 2:28
  Speaker 6: with a person who was also on the internet who
• 2:31
  Speaker 6: said that, therefore Joe Thomas needs to be.
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: Oh good guy.
• 2:36

• 2:38
  Speaker 6: the scarlet letters? Was this what it was like during McCarthy?

• 2:50
  Speaker 6: never seen our society in such a fugue of attempts
• 2:57
  Speaker 6: to stop people from having a say it's amazing to me.
• 3:02

• 3:04
  Speaker 6: the abstracts. I bring this up because Bruce Springstein, along

  Speaker 6: any outs, apologizing saying, you know, I never thought I

  Speaker 10: Forty considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
• 8:07
  Speaker 10: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 8:13
  Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
• 8:51
  Speaker 10: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

  Speaker 19: Treatment works, recovery is possible.
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: On your to do list. Putting the radio on is
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: the first thing today.
• 13:16
  Speaker 20: I need some.
• 13:25
  Speaker 9: I'm telling you, I'm tired of love.
• 13:33
  Speaker 21: I've had my fill of love.
• 13:38
  Speaker 4: From below and the bull.
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: You get tired, you really do it. You just get
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: your worn.
• 13:45
  Speaker 12: Out, tired of being at mice.
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: We all right, maybe I'll draw the line there.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: So the weariness, and I think you get this as well.
• 13:56
  Speaker 6: And it's tearing families apart, and it's driving us further
• 14:00
  Speaker 6: into our silos. This is deep think stuff. I mean,
• 14:03
  Speaker 6: this isn't wham bam, thank you, ma'am. Some songs, some dance,
• 14:07
  Speaker 6: some seltzer in your pants. I understand mornings. You don't
• 14:11
  Speaker 6: have a ton of time. So we'll make the concept
• 14:15
  Speaker 6: under girding. There used to be a group of people
• 14:23
  Speaker 6: who were told by municipal code in many cases, that
• 14:27
  Speaker 6: they didn't have the right to speak or the authority
• 14:31
  Speaker 6: to have an opinion on anything. We had a word
• 14:34
  Speaker 6: for them. Were called the Blacks. And we're heading there again.
• 14:39
  Speaker 6: This is the fruit of what I sensed the moment
• 14:42
  Speaker 6: I walked into the TV studio with Ibram Kendy and
• 14:47
  Speaker 6: sat there and wound up being the only person in
• 14:49
  Speaker 6: all of Charlottesville that was willing to push back on
• 14:53
  Speaker 6: his idea that white people are just inherently racist because
• 14:57
  Speaker 6: of the color of their skin, pointing out to him
• 15:00
  Speaker 6: that that very statement was racist.
• 15:03
  Speaker 2: I was told, oh, no, it's not, No, it's not
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: We're guilty. We're guilty.
• 15:07
  Speaker 6: Please don't make us look bad on national TV, your
• 15:11
  Speaker 6: humble host, don't give a crap. Honest is as honest does.
• 15:15
  Speaker 6: Didn't think he was a bad man. I just thought
• 15:17
  Speaker 6: his idea was bad of anti racism reparational society. Your
• 15:25
  Speaker 6: four bearers were bad to my four bearers, so now
• 15:28
  Speaker 6: I get to be bad to you.
• 15:31
  Speaker 2: To make up for it.
• 15:33
  Speaker 6: I mean, we are truly living in a world that
• 15:36
  Speaker 6: is driven by the concept two wrongs will make a right.
• 15:41
  Speaker 6: I guess at some point eventually, but it's wearisome to be,
• 15:48
  Speaker 6: you know, in this world where every single moment and
• 15:51
  Speaker 6: every single person in every single room could be the
• 15:54
  Speaker 6: reason that some keyboard warrior is going to go out
• 15:58
  Speaker 6: of their way to say you are now no longer
• 16:01
  Speaker 6: allowed to have an opinion, have a job. I've seen
• 16:06
  Speaker 6: people lose their jobs over crazy stuff. Never mind what
• 16:11
  Speaker 6: they just did at the Virginia Polytechnic Institute football fans
• 16:16
  Speaker 6: may know their name as Virginia Tech. They just fired
• 16:20
  Speaker 6: the rector for no good reason. Well, the governor alleges
• 16:27
  Speaker 6: violations of the code of conduct whatever that means. She
• 16:32
  Speaker 6: didn't specify this, fired him, fired him, and inserted the
• 16:37
  Speaker 6: president of Dominion Energy. I guess because Dominion's about to
• 16:42
  Speaker 6: be bought by next era.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: He's going to need a gig.
• 16:47
  Speaker 6: Golden parachute for, you know, selling his company to another
• 16:51
  Speaker 6: electric utility.
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: And these are the democrats.
• 16:55
  Speaker 12: You know.
• 16:56
  Speaker 6: If a Republican fired the head of a university and
• 16:59
  Speaker 6: installed the head of an electric union an electric company, oh,
• 17:05
  Speaker 6: it would be marches in the streets.
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: No kings, no tyrants. Hey, hey ho.
• 17:10
  Speaker 6: Ho insert name has got to go. It's so wearisome
• 17:17
  Speaker 6: because it's disingenuity in it is gobsmacking, the ability to
• 17:24
  Speaker 6: disconnect simple logical trains of thought amongst people who claim
• 17:31
  Speaker 6: to have intellect and degree. It's amazing to me, and
• 17:45
  Speaker 6: I live it every single day. You probably run into
• 17:49
  Speaker 6: it more frequently than you like. And it's it's bothersome
• 17:57
  Speaker 6: that this is the kind of thing. We've come down to,
• 17:59
  Speaker 6: sure have free speech. Once we've approved of your kind
• 18:02
  Speaker 6: of speech. Who do you hang out with? What people
• 18:06
  Speaker 6: do you hang out with? We're going to associate you
• 18:09
  Speaker 6: with bad people. You were part of the tea party,
• 18:12
  Speaker 6: or you voted for Donald Trump, or you had a
• 18:15
  Speaker 6: Donald Trump yard sign in your yard, you were wearing
• 18:20
  Speaker 6: a red ball cap. It's no, that was Kareem just said.
• 18:31
  Speaker 6: Was that earth a Kit singing earth a kid?
• 18:34
  Speaker 18: Was?
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: You know?
• 18:35
  Speaker 6: That was the great metal in con from Blazing Saddles,
• 18:40
  Speaker 6: that amazing documentary on American society and governance. Huh, you
• 18:46
  Speaker 6: didn't know Blazing Saddles was a documentary.
• 18:49
  Speaker 2: Oh my gosh. Yes, it's actually a predocumentary. It was
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: a new thing.
• 18:52
  Speaker 6: It was going to predict everything that we did, and
• 18:55
  Speaker 6: we're going to do.
• 18:56
  Speaker 2: Anyway further and further up. Yes, true story.
• 18:59
  Speaker 6: Virginia's got who came in Remember, you know, Virginia had
• 19:03
  Speaker 6: been gripped by this idea that Governor Younkin was, you know,
• 19:08
  Speaker 6: firing all these members of the University Directorate at of
• 19:13
  Speaker 6: course President Trump's order and installing people like Ken Kuchinelli.
• 19:20
  Speaker 6: Oh my god, arch Maga. Funny enough at one point,
• 19:25
  Speaker 6: Ken Kuchinelli was also a never trumper, but I guess
• 19:29
  Speaker 6: you can be both in the mind of a Marxist.
• 19:35
  Speaker 6: So the Marxist authoritarians helped elect Governor Spanberger because Governor Youngkin,
• 19:40
  Speaker 6: her predecessor, was firing all these boards, you know, all
• 19:45
  Speaker 6: these directorate boards at all these universities, even though he
• 19:49
  Speaker 6: wasn't firing them, he was just you know, as terms expired,
• 19:52
  Speaker 6: he got to emploint his own members. And they decided
• 19:55
  Speaker 6: that was no good. They even got court orders saying
• 19:59
  Speaker 6: that the governor does and have authority to appoint people
• 20:02
  Speaker 6: to boards of the universities in the state where he's governor.
• 20:05
  Speaker 6: Was fascinating to me, and here comes this new governor
• 20:12
  Speaker 6: still with the new governor smell. I think that's the
• 20:16
  Speaker 6: new governor smell still some wearing off, some doing exactly
• 20:22
  Speaker 6: what he was accused of and had never done. He
• 20:25
  Speaker 6: was filling expiring positions on university boards with people he liked,
• 20:32
  Speaker 6: because that's what governors get to do. And it went
• 20:37
  Speaker 6: to court to block it, and the courts did block
• 20:40
  Speaker 6: it because too many Obama, Clinton and Biden era appointed
• 20:45
  Speaker 6: judges are out there. Decided, Yeah, Glenn youngin's no good
• 20:50
  Speaker 6: and the idea was his term is going to be
• 20:53
  Speaker 6: over at some point somewhere, and these board visitors are
• 20:57
  Speaker 6: the board directors are going to still be there. Yeah,
• 21:00
  Speaker 6: that's how it works. But the leftist grabbed the media
• 21:06
  Speaker 6: by the short and curlyes and said, you must pay
• 21:09
  Speaker 6: attention to us. We're talking about fighting.
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: Maga.
• 21:13
  Speaker 6: Okay, said the media, and here comes Governor Spanburger. What
• 21:21
  Speaker 6: was the what was that in the eighties? Was it abscam? Yeah,
• 21:27
  Speaker 6: so there was. It was a big you know it was.
• 21:30
  Speaker 6: We'll go into details. We've got the news coming up
• 21:33

  Speaker 10: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 10: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 10: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 10: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 10: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 10: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

• 28:27
  Speaker 6: So the US Postal Service, one of the most misunderstood
• 28:31
  Speaker 6: branches of American Life has signed a deal with DHL.
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: Now your first reaction.
• 28:39
  Speaker 6: May be, oh good, DHL is going to start delivering
• 28:42
  Speaker 6: our US mail. No no, no, no, that's not what's
• 28:46
  Speaker 6: going to happen is the other way around. US Postal
• 28:48
  Speaker 6: Service is going to deliver packages for DHL because they've
• 28:53
  Speaker 6: been doing such a great job at delivering the Amazon packages.
• 28:57
  Speaker 6: Now they're going to add DHL also to the roster
• 29:00
  Speaker 6: of things that they're going to have to deliver, probably
• 29:04
  Speaker 6: before they get around to delivering your daily mail. The deal,
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: worth ten billion dollars is between DHL e Commerce, part
• 29:15
  Speaker 6: of the logistics firm, to help deliver their products similar
• 29:24
  Speaker 6: to Amazon in many ways. You go online, you order
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: stuff in, DHL delivers it for these online retailers. Postmaster
• 29:33
  Speaker 6: General David Steiner said that no one else delivers to
• 29:38
  Speaker 6: one hundred and seventy million US households six days a
• 29:41
  Speaker 6: week besides the US Postal Service. I think that may
• 29:47
  Speaker 6: have been an aspirational statement to many people that I
• 29:50
  Speaker 6: talk to say, oh sure, I expect a postal delivery
• 29:55
  Speaker 6: every day, and sometimes I get them, sometimes I don't,
• 30:00
  Speaker 6: Especially in the mid Atlantic, there has been crisis after
• 30:03
  Speaker 6: crisis from Charlotte all the way up through Baltimore, with
• 30:08
  Speaker 6: mail not showing up for weeks at a time because
• 30:11
  Speaker 6: of understaffing, because of unions that have held.
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: Up hiring.
• 30:19
  Speaker 6: Because of work conditions, because people figure they're working for
• 30:23
  Speaker 6: the government, so give me more money. Steiner then also
• 30:28
  Speaker 6: said DHL now has the opportunity to quote play in
• 30:32
  Speaker 6: the largest market in the world. He said DHL either
• 30:37
  Speaker 6: had to quote invest a ton of capital to build
• 30:40
  Speaker 6: out and end to end network or partner with somebody
• 30:43
  Speaker 6: who already has that last mile capability, like the USPS.
• 30:49
  Speaker 6: Now understand that many people have pointed to, including members
• 30:53
  Speaker 6: of the US Postal Service off and on condition of anonymity,
• 30:59
  Speaker 6: have said that the requirements of the letter carriers to
• 31:02
  Speaker 6: make sure the Amazon packages get delivered before they even
• 31:07
  Speaker 6: get to their regular mail often causes stress, especially say,
• 31:11
  Speaker 6: between November and December of each year.
• 31:15
  Speaker 2: Just saying.
• 31:19
  Speaker 6: So, one wonders if Steiner and I'm not being a
• 31:23
  Speaker 6: nattering nay bomb of negativism. I'm just saying that, has
• 31:26
  Speaker 6: anyone considered the fact that the US Postal delivery services,
• 31:31
  Speaker 6: by the way, not constitutionally mandated, so I'm fine with
• 31:35
  Speaker 6: them saying we can't.
• 31:36
  Speaker 25: Do it.
• 31:40
  Speaker 6: Already falling behind the priorities of contracts made with Amazon.
• 31:48
  Speaker 6: This is going to put another contract on top of it.
• 31:54
  Speaker 6: So at what point does the letter carrier get to say, Hey,
• 31:58
  Speaker 6: I'm going to deliver the letters to Thomas Media or
• 32:01
  Speaker 6: to you at your house. Again, not something that the
• 32:07
  Speaker 6: constitution mandates. Of course, the deal is good for the
• 32:14
  Speaker 6: Postal Service. It's strapped for cash, but there's a deal
• 32:19
  Speaker 6: to this. I mean, it's sure, it's great to say
• 32:21
  Speaker 6: I'm getting ten billion dollars from DHL, but you're also
• 32:26
  Speaker 6: going to have to do things for DHL in exchange
• 32:29
  Speaker 6: for that ten billion dollars. I think we forget that part.
• 32:33
  Speaker 6: Oh that's great, US Postal Service getting ten billion dollars,
• 32:36
  Speaker 6: they're also going to have to do ten billion dollars
• 32:38
  Speaker 6: worth of work for DHL, most likely if the Amazon
• 32:43
  Speaker 6: issues are exemplar, in exchange for the household delivery of mail. Again,
• 32:55
  Speaker 6: not something constitutionally mandated. Now, are you salty if they say, hey,
• 33:05
  Speaker 6: we can't deliver mail to your house anymore, but we're
• 33:08
  Speaker 6: going to deliver your DHL and Amazon packages and you're
• 33:15
  Speaker 6: going to have to come to your local post office
• 33:17
  Speaker 6: to pick up your mail, which was.
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: What the guarantee was.
• 33:22
  Speaker 6: Understand that the US Constitution says that there will be
• 33:27
  Speaker 6: US Postal Service offices, there will be post offices in municipalities,
• 33:33
  Speaker 6: and a guarantee of roads to connect them. And really
• 33:38
  Speaker 6: the postal section of the Constitution is about those highways
• 33:42
  Speaker 6: with the little white signs, the white shields, numbers in
• 33:47
  Speaker 6: them one one, oh one, et cetera, and all points
• 33:51
  Speaker 6: in between. Andy writes in from Sarasota. The Florida power
• 34:00
  Speaker 6: bills are already being delayed, Yes, because that's that's some
• 34:04
  Speaker 6: mail that you really want to arrive late, don't you?
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: Or not at all? Honey? Why the lights go out?
• 34:15
  Speaker 6: Maybe that's what happened to the election office in Georgia.
• 34:18
  Speaker 6: They hadn't paid their electric bill. Of course, that still
• 34:22
  Speaker 6: doesn't explain the plumbing that didn't actually explode in the.
• 34:26
  Speaker 2: Basement, but that's another matter for another day.
• 34:28
  Speaker 6: I say that just to trigger the folks, But yeah,
• 34:35
  Speaker 6: electric bills being delayed in the mail not something you
• 34:38
  Speaker 6: want to have happen. And given the delays that happen
• 34:42
  Speaker 6: and the over extension of the letter carriers based on
• 34:47
  Speaker 6: this requirement that they get all the Amazon packages in
• 34:50
  Speaker 6: their little box trucks delivered first because contracts well, then
• 35:00
  Speaker 6: now DHL you know, will come in second to Amazon.
• 35:03
  Speaker 6: When are the letters carriers going to have time to
• 35:06
  Speaker 6: deliver Andy's electric bill.
• 35:11
  Speaker 2: Or my.
• 35:13
  Speaker 6: Invoices for the music publishing services that for some reason
• 35:17
  Speaker 6: I have to pay royalties to even though we don't
• 35:20
  Speaker 6: play the songs. Regardless, let me see what this is
• 35:24
  Speaker 6: doing to you where you are. And this is just
• 35:26
  Speaker 6: one of the many stories that are on our docket
• 35:28
  Speaker 6: this morning, Good morning. You are on the air with
• 35:31
  Speaker 6: Joe first thing this morning.
• 35:32
  Speaker 2: Who's this.
• 35:34
  Speaker 16: More in Joe's Kareem Morning kareem?
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: So it's not Eartha Kit. It was Madeline Con.
• 35:39
  Speaker 6: I know this very similar, but the Eartha Kit estate
• 35:43
  Speaker 6: has emailed me and say, you got to be kidding me,
• 35:46
  Speaker 6: you know. And I know Eartha Kit is a Broadway
• 35:49
  Speaker 6: star was before she became Catwoman, But I think I
• 35:55
  Speaker 6: think Madeline Conn also has a great singing voice. She
• 35:58
  Speaker 6: was just you know, acting, as they say, there is
• 36:01
  Speaker 6: somebody who not so much for the singing. But regardless,
• 36:06
  Speaker 6: what's on your mind? How do you are you reacting
• 36:09
  Speaker 6: on this US Postal Service deal.
• 36:12
  Speaker 16: Well, honestly, Joe, you plant so much stuff. There's a
• 36:15
  Speaker 16: lot to pull from.
• 36:16
  Speaker 20: Going back to Maddelin Cohn for a brief moment, kind
• 36:19
  Speaker 20: of like when I watched Dnasio do Toro in that
• 36:21
  Speaker 20: movie at the Hunting where he's channeling Steven Sagall.
• 36:24
  Speaker 16: I'm thinking Madeline Kahn was channeling or the Kit in
• 36:28
  Speaker 16: her Blazing Saddles.
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: That's anyway, that's a possibility.
• 36:31
  Speaker 6: I mean, you know, there's so much going on in
• 36:33
  Speaker 6: that amazing documentary and and people think I'm saying that
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: to be shocking. If people watch Blazing Saddles, you will
• 36:40
  Speaker 6: understand every single little bit. I mean, there's Mike Johnson
• 36:44
  Speaker 6: in there, There's Chuck Schumer in there. You know, there's
• 36:48
  Speaker 6: there's everyone laid out in front of everyone. Uh, there's
• 36:52
  Speaker 6: somebody sent me a link to a T shirt company
• 36:57
  Speaker 6: that actually sells commemorative T shirts. I traveled the Governor
• 37:01
  Speaker 6: William J. Lapetamain Memorial Interstate bring a deep load of dimes,
• 37:08
  Speaker 6: and I just I want to get it. I want
• 37:11
  Speaker 6: that for you know, just one of those things to
• 37:12
  Speaker 6: wear and see if people go huh, because it looks

• 44:51
  Speaker 6: that at very least some of this stuff is wrapped
• 44:54
  Speaker 6: in Saran wraps so it doesn't stink up the house
• 44:57
  Speaker 6: while we lay it out on the table for you
• 45:00
  Speaker 6: when we headed to break. That's more from that classic
• 45:04
  Speaker 6: documentary on American life, Blazing Saddles, and please rent it
• 45:09
  Speaker 6: and watch it this weekend. Not with anyone, please if
• 45:13
  Speaker 6: you have any snowflakes in your family, unless you're ready
• 45:17
  Speaker 6: to try to you know, it's one of those scared
• 45:21
  Speaker 6: straight kind of things, and maybe this is a good
• 45:24
  Speaker 6: use of this documentary, Blazing Saddles. If you have a
• 45:27
  Speaker 6: snowflake in your family, maybe make them watch it with you.
• 45:32
  Speaker 6: It's going to be ugly. It's going to be ugly,
• 45:34
  Speaker 6: but you might be able to save them before it's
• 45:37
  Speaker 6: too late. Anyway, Kareem, thank you for hanging on the line.
• 45:40
  Speaker 6: So what did bring you to our phones this morning?
• 45:43
  Speaker 6: I know you said we laid out a robust buffet
• 45:47
  Speaker 6: for breakfast this morning.
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: But what's got you triggered?
• 45:50
  Speaker 16: Well, you know, study's postal service.
• 45:53
  Speaker 20: Recently, the three parts I want to bring up. Recently,
• 45:57
  Speaker 20: the Supreme Court ruled nine to oh that last mile
• 46:01
  Speaker 20: drivers do qualify for certain protections. So when you look
• 46:07
  Speaker 20: at Amazon flex drivers or Walmart delivery drivers, not quite
• 46:13
  Speaker 20: Wilker v.
• 46:14
  Speaker 16: Philburn.
• 46:16
  Speaker 20: But it's because it does count as interstate commerce. I'm
• 46:20
  Speaker 20: just gonna leave that there, because there are probably a
• 46:22
  Speaker 20: whole lot better attorneys you taught to interview who can
• 46:26
  Speaker 20: who can say we're significant where. Okay, maybe these companies,
• 46:29
  Speaker 20: more companies will start contracting with USPS since they've already
• 46:32
  Speaker 20: got the HR taking care of hey.
• 46:35
  Speaker 6: So if there's if there's a law, a ruling of
• 46:38
  Speaker 6: law that an American citizen can't understand, then it really
• 46:42
  Speaker 6: isn't good public policy. So you're saying that the last
• 46:47
  Speaker 6: mile drivers are protected in labor or in the ability
• 46:51
  Speaker 6: to like carry a firearm, because you know, when you
• 46:54
  Speaker 6: say protected, I'm tempted to think one way or the other.
• 46:59
  Speaker 6: I know a lot of real tos who have their
• 47:01
  Speaker 6: concealed carry permit for just simply that reason. You don't
• 47:04
  Speaker 6: know what you don't know.
• 47:08
  Speaker 20: For right now, let's say, uh, labor disputes for payment.
• 47:12
  Speaker 20: I lover that other part about the Second Amendment. Uh
• 47:15
  Speaker 20: do and again our civil rights? Uh, the US is
• 47:21
  Speaker 20: uh right now, they're they're they're they're moving to me,
• 47:26
  Speaker 20: they're moving slowly because constitution is unequivocal in statement, but
• 47:30
  Speaker 20: they have to follow a certain process. And that truck
• 47:34
  Speaker 20: drivers being able to carry, I'm saying truck drivers just
• 47:37
  Speaker 20: because uh, there have been a you know, my mind
• 47:41
  Speaker 20: goes back to Reginald Denny's so back in the nineties,
• 47:45
  Speaker 20: he has some issues. I don't think a gun would
• 47:47
  Speaker 20: have helped him in that case, if the if they
• 47:50
  Speaker 20: didn't follow the bluffs.
• 47:51
  Speaker 16: But the rooftop Korean said, yes, get the guns just
• 47:55
  Speaker 16: in case.
• 47:55
  Speaker 6: But setting that aside, right, so you're talking about your
• 48:00
  Speaker 6: just did a quick look because I didn't know what
• 48:02
  Speaker 6: case you were talking about. This is the guy Angelo
• 48:05
  Speaker 6: Brock who was driving for a company called Flower Foods
• 48:09
  Speaker 6: in I think Colorado, and they tried to you force
• 48:14
  Speaker 6: him into arbitration over wages not paid using an interstate
• 48:19
  Speaker 6: commerce law and they're like, yeah, he never left Colorado,
• 48:22
  Speaker 6: so why are we applying interstate commerce law to him?
• 48:25
  Speaker 6: So just for folks who play along at home and
• 48:28
  Speaker 6: they want to fill in their scorecard. So you think
• 48:31
  Speaker 6: though that this could lead to more delivery deals for usps.
• 48:37
  Speaker 20: I do, going back to what the constitution says about
• 48:40
  Speaker 20: it now, not to throw water under fire again, not
• 48:46
  Speaker 20: an expert.
• 48:47
  Speaker 16: I want to string and will for a living. That's
• 48:48
  Speaker 16: what I did.
• 48:50
  Speaker 20: But the post source is quite important. It was the
• 48:53
  Speaker 20: internet of the day in London. It was so mail
• 48:57
  Speaker 20: got delivered four times in a single day. And if
• 49:01
  Speaker 20: you wrote a letter to your intended and you haven't
• 49:05
  Speaker 20: received a spot response by that afternoon, you went down
• 49:08
  Speaker 20: you had a conversation with the postmaster. This will not
• 49:11
  Speaker 20: happen again because it was that vital. So it was
• 49:15
  Speaker 20: just like carrying a gun. It was understood not only
• 49:18
  Speaker 20: would you leave the home strapped, you would also have
• 49:20
  Speaker 20: your mail delivered daily to your home. Now nout, granted
• 49:24
  Speaker 20: we got some guys who like to wear konskid cabs.
• 49:26
  Speaker 20: I'd like to live on a mountain where nobody finds them.
• 49:29
  Speaker 20: I can understand they've taken into trouble to make sure
• 49:32
  Speaker 20: they've hidden themselves from society.
• 49:34
  Speaker 16: Then that can come to town to get the mount
• 49:36
  Speaker 16: whenever they want to.
• 49:37
  Speaker 6: Well, but that's the difference between constitution constitutionality and you know,
• 49:45
  Speaker 6: what's the phrase I'm looking for here? Common practice? So
• 49:50
  Speaker 6: the constitution says what I said to guarantees that there
• 49:55
  Speaker 6: be post offices in municipalities, and that there be roads
• 50:00
  Speaker 6: connecting them, that they.
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Be open.
• 50:03
  Speaker 6: So that that Internet can work. The idea to torture
• 50:11
  Speaker 6: the metaphor a little bit would be okay. So we
• 50:14
  Speaker 6: guarantee that there be internet service into your neighborhood and
• 50:20
  Speaker 6: somebody reads your email to you. There is no constitutional
• 50:25
  Speaker 6: mandate to deliver the mail to your house. It has
• 50:28
  Speaker 6: become common practice. But if the US Postal Service said
• 50:32
  Speaker 6: we can't do that anymore, there are going to be
• 50:35
  Speaker 6: salty people about it, and there's going to be a
• 50:37
  Speaker 6: lot of congress people and senators up in arms.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: But there's nothing in the constitution that says they have
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: to deliver it. To your house.
• 50:47
  Speaker 20: If they call it a postal service, that's not a
• 50:50
  Speaker 20: word that we invented. We carried over from Oh yeah,
• 50:54
  Speaker 20: and so following what that word meant when that document
• 50:57
  Speaker 20: was written postal service to the house.
• 51:00
  Speaker 16: But let me just throw the last part was different.
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, go ahead.
• 51:05
  Speaker 20: The last thing is the USPS is also one of
• 51:07
  Speaker 20: the best information gathering agencies.
• 51:10
  Speaker 16: I say agency. It's huge. They're not really governed.
• 51:14
  Speaker 20: It's kind of like how the Capital police have those
• 51:16
  Speaker 20: military surveillance blimps that why do they have that and
• 51:20
  Speaker 20: why are they're officer this nationwide? Yes, Postal services can
• 51:24
  Speaker 20: inspect all the packages letters from now. They also collect
• 51:28
  Speaker 20: if I'm not mistaken, it came to law if they
• 51:30
  Speaker 20: were tasked for finding out where certain people with internet
• 51:35
  Speaker 20: where the Internet users actually lived.
• 51:38
  Speaker 16: Anyway, Joe, you have a great day. Thanks for checking
• 51:40
  Speaker 16: my call.
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: Not all good call.
• 51:41
  Speaker 6: And that last bit is important because understand that there
• 51:44
  Speaker 6: are legal authorities. Committing mail fraud is one of the
• 51:50
  Speaker 6: highest crimes you can commit. We have several instances where
• 51:55
  Speaker 6: people are going to you probably do ten to twenty
• 51:58
  Speaker 6: eleven worth, if not at very least five to ten and.
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: Woolworth over mail fraud.
• 52:05
  Speaker 6: Wirefraud isn't as abstract off of mail fraud that if
• 52:10
  Speaker 6: you send something through the US Postal Service, the postmark
• 52:13
  Speaker 6: itself is considered a legal document, a stamp of data
• 52:18
  Speaker 6: and time, legally binding in contract disputes and things like that.
• 52:24
  Speaker 6: So there are places in American life where the US
• 52:29
  Speaker 6: Postal Service has import I'm just pointing out that delivery
• 52:34
  Speaker 6: to your house, whether it be the British and Britain
• 52:37
  Speaker 6: pays a whole lot more than we do for their
• 52:40
  Speaker 6: postal service, and to do it arbitrarily without Americans having
• 52:47
  Speaker 6: a say, I don't know if it's good policy, but
• 52:50
  Speaker 6: it's constant.
• 52:51
  Speaker 25: My name is Bobby.
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: I'm a veteran and lost my leg to a roadside bomb.
• 52:55
  Speaker 14: My victory was going from a wheelchair to becoming a

  Speaker 14: weightlifting champion.
• 53:00
  Speaker 4: I'm Sam, I'm a veteran.
