  Speaker 1: The First Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the Chunk
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: Media Network, All natural and free of artificial intelligence.
• 0:10
  Speaker 2: Stuart said, steal metem.
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: You have a day.
• 0:15
  Speaker 2: At least for work when the sun comes up, drops
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: a kid to scoom.
• 0:18
  Speaker 3: No way, joeys have a thing agenda, all the chases,
• 0:23
  Speaker 3: setting needs.
• 0:25
  Speaker 4: No one that Joe's as smile.
• 0:28
  Speaker 5: He only aims.
• 0:31
  Speaker 4: Let Joe, thank you for letting me be of service
• 0:35
  Speaker 4: to you this morning. Four three four eight eight two
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: four two one seven. That is the phone number. Emails.
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: That's JT in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com.
• 0:48
  Speaker 4: But the phone number is important because you can also
• 0:51
  Speaker 4: use it to text message us like hamp did we
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: were talking about this. Platiner texts sects to staffers. He
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: says earlier in their marriage. They've only been married three years,
• 1:07
  Speaker 4: three years ago. She only started sniffing around us last year,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: hamp Now, did she get married to Platner because she
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: saw a senator in the mirror? Sure sounds like she's
• 1:20
  Speaker 4: a Lady Macbeth kind of character in this. I like
• 1:23
  Speaker 4: this text comes in for Mary, who says main residents
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: simply wants somebody who has got a pulse and somebody
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: who might send dirty text messages certainly sounds like they
• 1:38
  Speaker 4: have a pulse. By the way, the idea of Susan
• 1:41
  Speaker 4: Collins sending inappropriate sexual texts to anyone, ew, can you
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: imagine get one of those from Susan Collins? I mean,
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: because if they win, see if Platner wins, it'll just
• 1:58
  Speaker 4: be like when Clinton won election, and all of a sudden,
• 2:01
  Speaker 4: all this stuff becomes something at last, but not least,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: this email from Gerald, Gerald writes in come on, guys,
• 2:10
  Speaker 4: you're all the ones who voted for Donald Trump in
• 2:12
  Speaker 4: the first place after what he told Billy Bush. Do
• 2:17
  Speaker 4: you really need me to go back to Billy Bush?
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: If you want to bring Billy Bush back out into this,
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: I mean, you want to go there, we'll go there.
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: And you know, is the fact that somebody has been
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: divorced a couple of times? Yeah? Are people who keep
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: secrets corruptible? Yes, because then you're making a decision based
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: on what's going to keep your secret. But if people
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: don't seem to be worried about their secrets, they lean
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: into them, maybe you don't need to worry about it.
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: And maners certainly seem like they're not worried about Grand
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: Platner's secrets because he leads Susan Collins in all the polls.
• 3:06
  Speaker 4: But let us get our first things before we go
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: any further into this. Cory Booker himself says he has
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: concerns about Graham Platner after the text messages came out
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: and he was buttonholed about it on Sunday morning when
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: he was out there trying to make himself look like
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: a presidential candidate. The energy price spike, triggered by the
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Iran war has seeped into the price of bonds. These
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: are the securities that help fund the US government. Interest
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: rates on a ten year US Treasury note or topping
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: four point four to four percent, up from three point
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: nine five percent before the war started. Trump has tried
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: to assure Americans the president has that he has a
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: plan to cut one point eight trillion dollars annually from
• 3:54
  Speaker 4: the budget deficit. Last week, he said the Fraud Task
• 3:57
  Speaker 4: Force alone, he led by Vice President JD Vance, would
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: be key to it. If he does really great, we'll
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: have a balanced budget without having to do anything. Meanwhile,
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: in Tehran, US military has apparently been shuttling ships through
• 4:17
  Speaker 4: the Strait of Hormuz Us Central Command has coordinated the
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: passage of about seventy commercial ships, according to a leak
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: published in The New York Times. Mohammed bager Ghalif Gallibaf's
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: statements and he is their chief negotiator in the peace treaty,
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: says don't trust the United States. This may be a
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: problem if we're trying to discuss a cease of the hostilities.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: More missile fire towards Iranian weapons sites, more drone attacks
• 4:54
  Speaker 4: towards Kuwait. Over the weekend, Trump said, fine, he'll do it.
• 5:02
  Speaker 4: As more acts pulled out of the Great American State Fair,
• 5:11
  Speaker 4: President Trump said, fine, We'll make it a giant make
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: America Great Again rally, he said. Republican gubernatorial candidate Steve
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: Hilton in California has dropped a human trafficking bomb on
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Democrat front runner Xavier Vissera. People say when he was
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: Health and Human Services secretary for President Biden, he lost
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: eighty five thousand migrant kids. He didn't lose them. He
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: pushed them out of a system without carrying where they went,
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: dismantled the vetting, and pushed migrant kids into the arms
• 5:45
  Speaker 4: of sex traffickers. That being said, even just losing eighty
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: five thousand children should be enough to disqualify you as
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: a governor of California. But that's just me. Those are
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: our first things for the Monday morning, the first day
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: of June.
• 6:09
  Speaker 6: Hi.
• 6:09

• 6:12
  Speaker 3: and former Virginia Tech football coach. When I brought the
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: fame lunch fail to our team, it symbolized teamwork. The
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: word win stood for what's important. Now, the Lunch Pail

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

  Speaker 10: Hi everybody, I'm Jack Hannah and it's always a boy.
• 10:01
  Speaker 10: Growing up on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated
• 10:03
  Speaker 10: with animals. I'm not only in awe of their beauty
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: and kindness, but also their tireless work ethic. Just look
• 10:08
  Speaker 10: at the birds who gather supplies to build nests, or
• 10:11
  Speaker 10: Swiss foxes who work hard to provide for their young,
• 10:14
  Speaker 10: or penguins who travel up to five hundred miles to
• 10:17
  Speaker 10: secure food for their families, or bush babies whose impressive
• 10:20
  Speaker 10: jump allows them to navigate the trees and the wild
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: in search of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared
• 10:25
  Speaker 10: by our best friends, the canines. We know dogs are
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: wonderful pets at home, but because of their acute senses,
• 10:32
  Speaker 10: they also perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep
• 10:35
  Speaker 10: us safe at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of
• 10:37
  Speaker 10: whom suffer from PTSS. They work with diabetics, alerting them
• 10:41
  Speaker 10: when there's a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs
• 10:43
  Speaker 10: have a variety of highly trained roles that contribute to
• 10:46
  Speaker 10: society and help those in need. So please join me
• 10:49

  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas on the TNK Media Network.
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: But just between me, I got my nobs about it.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: Oh yes we do, but just between.
• 13:35
  Speaker 14: You.
• 13:35
  Speaker 4: Too much too argain. As we celebrate Pride Month Day one,
• 13:42
  Speaker 4: there at four three four eight eight two four two
• 13:45
  Speaker 4: one seven is the phone number. Emails come into JT
• 13:48
  Speaker 4: in the Morning Radio at gmail dot com. Apologies if
• 13:53
  Speaker 4: you're joining us already in progress. You may have to
• 13:57
  Speaker 4: download the podcast if you haven't subscribed through through Spotify
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: or Apple Podcasts or Ihearten Deezer. They'll all tell you
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: when they go up there, and it's usually later in
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: the afternoon in full form, but you know, track listed
• 14:13
  Speaker 4: for your dining and dancing pleasure. But I'll give you
• 14:18
  Speaker 4: a quick synopsis. Two stories that we've been in a
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: lot today, probably more than I wanted. This whole gram
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: Platner thing really, but the press all over it. And
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: the Weaponization of Government fund. Mike Pence says he's urging
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: the president to drop the idea of a weaponization of
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: government victims fund. Now. I don't know how Mike Pence
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: is doing this because I believe Donald Trump has blocked
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: his number, I mean the whole running, you know, for
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: the GOP nomination for president, of the things he's said
• 14:58
  Speaker 4: about President Trump. Probably not calling the Oval Office. Don
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: it's Mike, listen, you got to drop this weaponization of
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: government fund. And and I have my qualms with it
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: for number one, proving it. But understand we have allowed
• 15:17
  Speaker 4: and a couple of points and then I'll get to
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: you on the phone. So hang on the line. I
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: know folks are ringing in, but a couple of quick first, uh,
• 15:27
  Speaker 4: Bob writes into JT in the Morning Radio at gmail
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: dot com. Joe, when you say that we should have
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: to pay for the victims of weaponized government because we've
• 15:40
  Speaker 4: allowed this to happen, the government has grown to stop
• 15:44
  Speaker 4: crime from happening. These expansions of government power were designed
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: to help keep us safe, all right, Bob. And this
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: is gonna sound harsh again, And I really saw I
• 15:57
  Speaker 4: sound sometimes like the guy who doesn't want anyone listening
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: to him. But mostly it's because I cannot disparage our relationship, Bob,
• 16:10
  Speaker 4: even if you've only put the radio on for the
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: first time earlier this morning and said, oh, this is different.
• 16:17
  Speaker 4: I respect you as a person, not to lie to you,
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: not to pander to you, just to say the things
• 16:25
  Speaker 4: that make you happy. I'll tell you the truth and
• 16:32
  Speaker 4: we'll let the chips fall where they may. But when
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: the first politician came out of the American would work.
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: Plenty of politicians, plenty of office holders in time in
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: memoriam have used this bit Caesar himself said we must
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: protect the people stop them from bad things happening. So
• 16:58
  Speaker 4: it's not a new concept. But how has that been
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: working for you? Has the expansion of government power and
• 17:05
  Speaker 4: oversight and surveillance stopped crime? I know, can't prove something
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: didn't happen, but look at the statistics. Is or are
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: crimes happening at the same or greater statistical percentages than
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: they were before? Seems to be indicative of the fact
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: that this idea of we need more authority to protect
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: you from crime isn't working very well. Ray. It's a
• 17:38
  Speaker 4: piece on this, and he concurs with my position that
• 17:42
  Speaker 4: the taxpayer should be the one paying these settlements because
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: we are the ones who allowed these people to take
• 17:51
  Speaker 4: this power, he said, we are and should be responsible
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: for our government. We put the officials there who do stuff.
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: But don't these officials take oaths to abide and defend
• 18:02
  Speaker 4: our constitution. When they violate someone's civil rights, aren't they
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: violating their oaths to the constitution? Shouldn't we hold them
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: responsible because we put them there. Aren't they like soldiers
• 18:15
  Speaker 4: who should not follow illegal orders? Point point point, Ray,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: You're absolutely on point for all three of those. But
• 18:27
  Speaker 4: the first is we don't punish people for this, and
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: that's part of the problem. So if, for example, let's
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: just say hypothetically, some dark money Marxists wanted to get
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: a bunch of prosecutors hired elected to go easy on crime,
• 18:47
  Speaker 4: to not punish people who stole, let's just say whatever
• 18:51
  Speaker 4: the state's threshold is for the commonwealth attorney's judgment, and
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: so they don't, Oh, well, you think the guy's going
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: to stop doing crime. No, he's going to keep doing crime.
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: And beyond that, you don't think the story of somebody
• 19:10
  Speaker 4: who're just getting out on a technicality or whatever isn't
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: going to encourage more people to do the crime. But
• 19:23
  Speaker 4: if we pay and I will capitulate Clark's right, then
• 19:27
  Speaker 4: the government should go after McCabe and Strock and all
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: these people and on that because you guys are working
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: Larry TeX's in. Wouldn't then they become the victims of
• 19:43
  Speaker 4: government weaponization. I'm not sure, but I see what you're
• 19:47
  Speaker 4: working on, and I appreciate the twist to the story.
• 19:50
  Speaker 4: Good morning, You're on the air with Joe. First thing
• 19:52
  Speaker 4: this morning, Who's this morning?
• 19:55
  Speaker 15: Joe's Candy just wanted to follow up on a number
• 19:58
  Speaker 15: of things shaped down, not the least of the additional
• 20:04
  Speaker 15: need for more police officers in Albmarole County. The day
• 20:08
  Speaker 15: before Thanksgiving when I was shoot, I was twenty years
• 20:13
  Speaker 15: into being in a marriage with a crazy person. Uh,
• 20:18
  Speaker 15: you know, the cops get called by my aspergery damaged
• 20:24
  Speaker 15: gay son who I had fun home for the weekend,
• 20:28
  Speaker 15: for the Thanksgiving weekend, and typically, you know, Linda would
• 20:35
  Speaker 15: find something to fight about, and I retreat upstairs and
• 20:40
  Speaker 15: I'm in the master bedroom like cordoned off, and outside
• 20:45
  Speaker 15: of my house are seven police cars. What No, there
• 20:51
  Speaker 15: were seven outside of my own homes, right. I mean
• 20:56
  Speaker 15: that's how crazy sometimes these people can be. And I'm
• 20:59
  Speaker 15: not talking about politicians. I'm actually talking about.
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: You know, Andy, you know, because a lot of people,
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: you know, it's it's a local story, but it's one
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: that people see all the time. Is the defund the
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: police movement has left a lot of police police departments understaffed,
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: and then you get into these progressive cities like Los
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: Angeles or Charlottesville and they can't they can't afford.
• 21:27
  Speaker 15: Right, you know, I actually went, well.
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: Yeah, no, I just want to finish. The thought is
• 21:34
  Speaker 4: that they can't afford to pay police officers or teachers
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: for that matter, enough to live in their communities because
• 21:43
  Speaker 4: it costs prohibitively to live there because they've grown so
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: high through the tax and spend structure that that property
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: values have to keep going up, so they keep getting
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: driven up so that these governments and and then the
• 21:58
  Speaker 4: police can't even afford to live there.
• 22:01
  Speaker 16: Hey, Brandt, and her name is Shary I love. She's
• 22:04
  Speaker 16: a friend of mine whom we were just praying for
• 22:07
  Speaker 16: because of a surgery.
• 22:08
  Speaker 4: She just went through.
• 22:09
  Speaker 17: Yes, and I am very happy about something you actually
• 22:11
  Speaker 17: talk about all the time, which is meta share.
• 22:13
  Speaker 12: That is right.
• 22:14
  Speaker 16: Yeah, So what was your experience like with meta share
• 22:17
  Speaker 16: and health care ability?
• 22:18
  Speaker 17: Honestly, Brandt, seamless and what a blessing that is when
• 22:21
  Speaker 17: you're already nervous about a health issue, which I was,
• 22:24
  Speaker 17: members shared my expenses. There were zero problems. And let
• 22:27
  Speaker 17: me tell you, having people pray with you when you
• 22:30
  Speaker 17: call in with your need that is just.
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: Yes, refreshing.
• 22:34
  Speaker 1: Yes, that's what it is.
• 22:35
  Speaker 16: I keep telling people. People love meta share and they
• 22:38
  Speaker 16: love saving money. The typical family can save five hundred
• 22:41
  Speaker 16: dollars a month.
• 22:42
  Speaker 17: I am very thankful for Meta Share. It is so different,
• 22:46
  Speaker 17: and I mean different in a very very good way.
• 22:48
  Speaker 16: It is good different Call now. They're easy to talk

  Speaker 5: I'm doctor Michael Bailey, President of the American Veterinary Medical Association.
• 23:06
  Speaker 5: Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and now it's helping veterinarians deliver
• 23:11
  Speaker 5: better care for pets. From AI assisted radiographs that speed
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: up diagnoses to tools that help spot diseases, AI supports
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: veterinary teams in exciting ways. We're using AI to develop
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: personalized cancer treatments, predict chronic conditions like feline kidney disease,
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: and even streamline record keeping so veterinarians.
• 23:33
  Speaker 4: Can focus more on patients.
• 23:36
  Speaker 5: But, as with any new technology, always keep a human
• 23:40
  Speaker 5: in the loop to maintain the best pet healthcare. AI
• 23:45
  Speaker 5: is a powerful tool, but not a replacement for your
• 23:48

  Speaker 8: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. Hi,
• 24:12
  Speaker 8: I'm doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 24:18
  Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 24:22
  Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 24:26
  Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 24:31
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 24:36
  Speaker 8: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 24:42
  Speaker 8: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 24:45
  Speaker 8: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: This email comes in from our Sports Last Hour. Mac
• 28:27
  Speaker 4: McDonald had brought up bald guys, and Jerry writes in, Joe,
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: speaking of bald guys, did you see the O'Keefe media
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: group expose on the Washington Nationals. I think your flagship
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: station is an affiliate, so I understand if you don't
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: want to talk about it. There's nothing in my affiliate
• 28:49
  Speaker 4: agreement on my flagship station that keeps me from reporting
• 28:53
  Speaker 4: a story. So this is Alex Stein from O'Keeffe Media
• 29:01
  Speaker 4: telling us unethical behavior within the management of the Washington
• 29:05
  Speaker 4: baseball team, including religious discrimination against a starting pitcher.
• 29:09
  Speaker 6: One of our pictures do Tremor Williams. He is very cat.
• 29:14
  Speaker 6: The Dodgers had a group out of the stadium who
• 29:19
  Speaker 6: were drag queens who sometimes dressed up as nuts. He
• 29:23
  Speaker 6: and on like a social media.
• 29:25
  Speaker 12: Like this is wrong.
• 29:26
  Speaker 4: It's my religion.
• 29:27
  Speaker 6: You all are mocking it because we don't use him
• 29:30
  Speaker 6: on social life when they're like, is a hot dog
• 29:32
  Speaker 6: a sandwich? And like the players come up?
• 29:34
  Speaker 22: You know what I mean.
• 29:35
  Speaker 4: So they've taken this guy and they've silenced him, which
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: many people. If you work for an organization, they they
• 29:46
  Speaker 4: might if you are asked to go to a conference.
• 29:49
  Speaker 4: Let's say you're an engineer and there's an engineering conference
• 29:53
  Speaker 4: and they and they ask you come out and tell
• 29:58
  Speaker 4: us about this bridge project you innovated some idea on
• 30:03
  Speaker 4: your remarks are often going to have to be cleared
• 30:08
  Speaker 4: through your employer, because your employer will be blamed for
• 30:13
  Speaker 4: or credited for anything you say. It's one of those
• 30:18
  Speaker 4: parts of the cancel culture, the woke generation that has
• 30:23
  Speaker 4: crippled a lot of people's free thought. And the fruit
• 30:27
  Speaker 4: of that is proven because we're doing less and less
• 30:30
  Speaker 4: creative thinking, because creative thinking requires support. Creative thinking sometimes
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: means saying things that aren't necessarily popular, like Hey, I
• 30:44
  Speaker 4: don't have a problem with the taxpayers being on the
• 30:46
  Speaker 4: arm for this victim of weaponized government fund. How could
• 30:52
  Speaker 4: you say that, Joe I didn't do it, Well, you
• 30:54
  Speaker 4: allowed it to happen. That's mean, Well, it's true though,
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: it's and I'm just as guilty as you are. We
• 31:02
  Speaker 4: allow these things to happen, we don't hold them down
• 31:08
  Speaker 4: from these powers. I mean, I did my part as
• 31:13
  Speaker 4: much as I could. Supported candidates that wanted to rein
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: in Department of Homeland Security, didn't even want to start
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: Department of Homeland Security. Even in two thousand and two,
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: I was pushing against it, pointing out how I couldn't
• 31:30
  Speaker 4: imagine that it was even constitutional. Yet they go in
• 31:36
  Speaker 4: and they look around the constitution, find a loophole because
• 31:40
  Speaker 4: remember our home. Imagine those Learning Channel programs, the History
• 31:50
  Speaker 4: Channel or whatever wherever you see these hoarders shows. I
• 31:54
  Speaker 4: don't know, I don't watch I don't watch them, but
• 32:01
  Speaker 4: you see them. It's like two or three different networks
• 32:03
  Speaker 4: have shows about hoarders A and E. You know, it's funny.
• 32:07
  Speaker 4: They'll they'll, you know, back to back. It'll be storage
• 32:11
  Speaker 4: wars followed by hoarders. Really, this is what we get now,
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: but we are legal hoarders. Take a look at you know,
• 32:25
  Speaker 4: the external shot Thomas Jefferson's Monticello camera pans in on
• 32:31
  Speaker 4: the front door, and the front door opens to find
• 32:33
  Speaker 4: piles and piles of legal books, and piles and piles
• 32:37
  Speaker 4: of papers, piles and piles of tape recordings, piles and
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: piles of the various accumulated clutter from two hundred and
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: fifty years of law, and you can barely walk around
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: the house. Somewhere under there are your elected representatives, but
• 33:00
  Speaker 4: they're living in this legal squalor. And within that legal
• 33:06
  Speaker 4: squalor often our precedents, not necessarily laws, but precedents. And
• 33:12
  Speaker 4: here's where I put the blame on us. The precedents
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: were allowed to stand because whatever the case was, we
• 33:22
  Speaker 4: as a majority of the population, were okay with that
• 33:28
  Speaker 4: obfuscation of the constitution. There are a lot of Democrats
• 33:34
  Speaker 4: who don't care about your constitutional protections as long as
• 33:38
  Speaker 4: we get rid of Trump. This is why since twenty sixteen,
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: I've been repeating Martin Emohler's wonderful poem, sometimes paraphrasing it.
• 33:48
  Speaker 4: But you want to know something, I read a biography
• 33:51
  Speaker 4: of Martin Emohler and his poem that said that there
• 33:56
  Speaker 4: are multiple versions published because he never gave the poem
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: the same way twice. So I think Martin Emuller himself
• 34:04
  Speaker 4: have said has at least been indicative that you know,
• 34:08
  Speaker 4: we can paraphrase his famous poem but it is. You know,
• 34:13
  Speaker 4: First they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: say anything because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they
• 34:20
  Speaker 4: came for the communists, and I didn't say anything because
• 34:23
  Speaker 4: I wasn't a communist. Then they came for the teachers,
• 34:26
  Speaker 4: and I didn't say anything because I wasn't a teacher.
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: And then they came for the labor unions, and I
• 34:32
  Speaker 4: didn't say anything because I wasn't in a labor union.
• 34:35
  Speaker 4: And then they came for me. And when they came
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: for me, there was no one left to say anything
• 34:40
  Speaker 4: for me. You have to in this country be willing
• 34:45
  Speaker 4: to push back on those things, even if you think.
• 34:48
  Speaker 4: For example, great example of it here in the Commonwealth
• 34:51
  Speaker 4: of Virginia, which has blown up on January sixth or
• 34:56
  Speaker 4: the months that followed. Virginia has a law it's mostly
• 35:02
  Speaker 4: built around the idea of going after drug smugglers drug
• 35:05
  Speaker 4: gang kingpins. It's called civil asset forfeiture, where in an
• 35:14
  Speaker 4: effort to make sure we put the bad guys in jail. Allegedly,
• 35:22
  Speaker 4: if you're arrested for being a drug kingpin, the state
• 35:25
  Speaker 4: will seize your property and never give it back to you. Nope.
• 35:31
  Speaker 4: And the premise itself in the legislation is so that
• 35:35
  Speaker 4: you cannot use the sale or transfer of your property
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: to raise money for a legal defense. I mean, I
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: remember a decade and a half or so ago reading that,
• 35:50
  Speaker 4: and I just I stared at it. I stared at
• 35:53
  Speaker 4: and I stared at it. I don't know, hoping that
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: either the words would change, I'd have some sort of episode,
• 36:02
  Speaker 4: I wouldn't notice it anymore, or something. I was hoping that,
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: just by reading it over and over again that in
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: the United States of America, a law existed that said,
• 36:15
  Speaker 4: the government can take your property so that you cannot
• 36:19
  Speaker 4: liquidate that property and use the proceeds to mount a
• 36:24
  Speaker 4: defense against the charges levied against you. And you know what,
• 36:29
  Speaker 4: most people are like, Yeah, but it's for drug dealers
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: show excuse me, pardon me. But then January sixth happened,
• 36:48
  Speaker 4: and in certain instances of those folks in Virginia who
• 36:53
  Speaker 4: found themselves a foul of January six insurrection charges, they
• 37:00
  Speaker 4: applied the civil asset forfeiture. First, they came for the
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: trade unionists, and I didn't say anything because I'm not
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: a trade unionist. First they came for the drug dealers,
• 37:14
  Speaker 4: and I didn't say anything because, well, I don't like
• 37:17
  Speaker 4: drug dealers. Then they came for the J six people,
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: and I didn't say anything because well J six and
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: insurrection and Trump. But what are you going to say
• 37:27
  Speaker 4: when they come for you and somebody arrests you or
• 37:31
  Speaker 4: your son or your daughter and takes all of their
• 37:35
  Speaker 4: property and doesn't say, we're putting this in escrow or
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: we're just freezing your assets or anything. No, straight up
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: confiscates them into the state government so that your son
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: or daughter cannot use the liquidation of those assets to
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: defend yourself. These are the things we allow to happen.
• 38:01
  Speaker 16: Life can change so abruptly.
• 38:04
  Speaker 4: Just ask Paul.
• 38:05
  Speaker 16: He's a hardworking entrepreneur, he's young, he's got a young family. Suddenly, though,
• 38:09
  Speaker 16: he develops a rare medical condition where he lost the
• 38:12
  Speaker 16: use of both of his arms.
• 38:14
  Speaker 19: I could no longer drive a car, couldn't use a computer,
• 38:16
  Speaker 19: coult type, couldn't use a mouse. I could not hold
• 38:18
  Speaker 19: my son, who was about a month old.
• 38:20
  Speaker 16: Paul and his family were facing a mountain of medical bills,
• 38:23
  Speaker 16: but they're so thankful that they're members of Meta Share.
• 38:27
  Speaker 19: I think if someone asked me like, hey, does medicare
• 38:29
  Speaker 19: really where? I'm living proof that it works. My four
• 38:33
  Speaker 19: children are living proof that it works. My arms, which
• 38:36
  Speaker 19: have been healed, are living proof that menashare works. Just
• 38:39
  Speaker 19: knowing the emotional peace of mind, knowing that our needs
• 38:42
  Speaker 19: are going to be taken care of when we have
• 38:44
  Speaker 19: some type of medical problem, that is such a huge
• 38:46
  Speaker 19: blessing to us.

  Speaker 11: million people a year. Even sadder, most of these deaths

• 44:19
  Speaker 7: And I'm Mississippi, Cotton Vicondell down on the street, walled
• 44:25
  Speaker 7: up and down.
• 44:27
  Speaker 14: Nothing but burn a storming down.
• 44:32
  Speaker 9: Cotton Vic.
• 44:35
  Speaker 4: I'm bride month this morning, and you know, thinking of
• 44:39
  Speaker 4: our friends w h E p w p uh ceo
• 44:45
  Speaker 4: uh this morning down long there on the golf shores.
• 44:48
  Speaker 4: My favorite part, the whole golf And you know it's
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: neat to see the ring of folks. Beaumont, Texas, Largo, Florida,
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: Saint Pete, Sarah'sow, all these places that get the show.
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: And it's an honor to be in all those places
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: along the Gulf of America this morning at four three,
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: four eight eight two four to two one seven. Couple
• 45:12
  Speaker 4: more reactions to the idea that the taxpayer should be
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: the ones funding the victims of weaponized government fund and
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: I think this one, I think, if there's a moment
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: to stick the landing on this appropriate that it came in. Now,
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: Lorraine texts into four three four eight eight two four
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: to two one seven as you can as well, Joe.
• 45:46
  Speaker 4: You say, we've allowed this to happen, but how can
• 45:49
  Speaker 4: we stop it from happening. I can't be held responsible
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: for something that I can't stop. I'm given next to
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: no choice when it comes to congres and the Senate.
• 46:04
  Speaker 4: It's become clear that the President can only do so
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: much when it comes to stopping all this.
• 46:09
  Speaker 15: Though.
• 46:10
  Speaker 4: I love what President Trump has been able to accomplish.
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: And part of it, Lorraine, is President Trump is difficult
• 46:20
  Speaker 4: to judge as a work in progress. I mean, if
• 46:22
  Speaker 4: you ever went to any of his construction sites, Trump
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: Laza that kind of thing, and you say, oh my gosh,
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: this is a cophony of things going on. Any building
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: under construction, you say, well, this doesn't look like much.
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: And then when they're done and they have their grand open,
• 46:41
  Speaker 4: you go, oh wow, this is gorgeous. Set. It's a
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: builder's mentality. It looks like a mess when it's being built,
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: and then all of a sudden it's all put together
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: and it looks great. But you're right, what can we
• 46:58
  Speaker 4: do about it? And that's a fair cop in my
• 47:02
  Speaker 4: position that I don't have a problem with the taxpayers
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: being on the arm for the victims of weaponized government
• 47:09
  Speaker 4: fund because we own the government we're supposed to, and Lorraine,
• 47:13
  Speaker 4: your text is indicative of people who don't feel like
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: they do anymore. That's the bigger problem is that we
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: don't own the government anymore. And there are many things
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: that have to be fixed that have happened all since
• 47:28
  Speaker 4: the end of the Civil War, and the first and
• 47:32
  Speaker 4: pre eminent one is the repeal of the Permanent Reapportionment
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Act of nineteen twenty nine, so that Lorraine, I don't
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: know who your congress person is, but you'll have a
• 47:42
  Speaker 4: much smaller congressional district, much fewer of your neighbors are
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: in it, and maybe, just maybe you get a third
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: party or more people trying to win the Democratic or
• 47:55
  Speaker 4: Republican Party primary. Very disappointed that I haven't seen more
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: of the supposed centrist Democrats trying to win their party back,
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: the pro business ones that you see in California that
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: are trying to be outed and are a lot of
• 48:12
  Speaker 4: the reason that Xavier Besseerra is struggling in the primary
• 48:18
  Speaker 4: is because a lot of what they call in California
• 48:20
  Speaker 4: business democrats, that's code for Republican. It's because you just
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: they can't do it anymore. And when they look at
• 48:32
  Speaker 4: what's going on in La between Pratt and Karen Bass,
• 48:36
  Speaker 4: or they look at the choices, you know, when Xavier
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: Beisseerra is the conservative choice and Tom Steyer is trying
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: to buy your vote. I can understand you feel like, well,
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: how am I going to have a say in this?
• 48:53
  Speaker 4: But you see, if you get smaller congressional districts and
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: then we have to rein in this allowance that all
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: of these secretariats have to exist. Department of Commerce. There's
• 49:08
  Speaker 4: nothing in the Constitution establishing the Commerce Department. It's perhaps
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: the most offensive part of it, because the Commerce Department
• 49:19
  Speaker 4: should their logo should be a wallet with cash sticking
• 49:25
  Speaker 4: out of it. Because the establishment of the Commerce Department
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: made k Street said, Okay, well, if the government's going
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: to regulate my business, then the government's going to become
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: the business of my business. We're going to spend big
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: sums of money, not on innovating or coming up with
• 49:47
  Speaker 4: new products or new ways to market. We're going to
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: spend money lobbying the government to keep our competition down, Lorraine.
• 49:55
  Speaker 4: So these are just a couple of the things. But
• 49:57
  Speaker 4: you get rid of those two things, and you take
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: away the government's ability to quote regulate commerce outside of
• 50:09
  Speaker 4: just simply making sure that there are laws making sure
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: that some Louisiana business isn't ripping off an Arkansas business,
• 50:20
  Speaker 4: then we're good. But we have shrugged and said, just
• 50:25
  Speaker 4: like I was talking about in the last segment with
• 50:27
  Speaker 4: the civil Asset forfeitures. You don't like Howard Stern, so
• 50:36
  Speaker 4: you allow the FCC to start regulating speech on the radio.
• 50:45
  Speaker 4: Or you don't like smog, so you allow the EPA
• 50:52
  Speaker 4: to regulate electric generation plants. And then you find out
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: that your electric bills. We just had this in Virginia here,
• 51:03
  Speaker 4: Appalachian Power from the largest power companies not looking to
• 51:07
  Speaker 4: merge with next Era yet he says, just applied not
• 51:16
  Speaker 4: just for a rate increase, but also for permission for
• 51:20
  Speaker 4: a second rate increase to comply with these Clean Economy
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: Act regulations which say you have to start closing carbon
• 51:32
  Speaker 4: based electric generation plans. And you say, well, then what's
• 51:39
  Speaker 4: going to happen, Well, your electric bill's going to come
• 51:41
  Speaker 4: up yet you voted. If you voted for Democrats, you
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: voted for the people who said we want to make
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: things more affordable for you. So Lurray is a great point,
• 51:53
  Speaker 4: and there are yes, there are things, and I'm sorry
• 51:57
  Speaker 4: to say, I don't think Congress is going to do it.
• 52:00
  Speaker 4: I think Convention of States is the only way we're
• 52:03
  Speaker 4: going to get there, and I'm not sure it's necessarily
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: this first one, the one that's working its way through
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: all the states right now. At Convention of States dot
• 52:13
  Speaker 4: com is about spending. It's about capping how much the
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: government can grow to how much the economy has grown,
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: and insisting on a balanced budget amendment and all those
• 52:25
  Speaker 4: things that will put the value back into the dollars
• 52:27
  Speaker 4: that you have, Lorraine, and then we can start rolling
• 52:32
  Speaker 4: the ball the other way. But I would be fine
• 52:35
  Speaker 4: with calling another Convention of States on some of the
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: things like the Permanent Reapportionment Act and the Commerce Department. Anyway,
• 52:45
  Speaker 4: until tomorrow, I am Joe Thomas, so long and thanks
• 52:48
  Speaker 4: for all the fish.
• 52:51
  Speaker 22: A few years ago, my youngest son had something minor
• 52:54

• 52:56
  Speaker 4: Major in a matter of hours.
• 52:57
  Speaker 16: It was Metichhare that came through force there's no hassles,
• 53:00

  Speaker 23: old and members have shared over eight billion dollars of
• 53:27
  Speaker 23: each other's medical bills.
• 53:28
  Speaker 6: We don't have to spend so much on health insurance.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: You can focus on on supporting other people.
• 53:33
  Speaker 4: Metashare is affordable.
• 53:35
