• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Not so fast, Joe.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: First thing today on the Talk Media Network by Joe Thomas, Jord.
• 0:10
  Speaker 3: Said, steal me have a day at least.
• 0:15
  Speaker 4: For work when the sun comes up, drops a pet
• 0:17
  Speaker 4: at the school the way Joe has.
• 0:22
  Speaker 2: On the Treasure set needs no one that Joe's as smile.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: He only let me be.
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: Joe for letting me be of service to you this
• 0:36
  Speaker 3: morning along the Talk Media Network, Thank you for hooking up.
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: He is the great Bonner Cohen of Sea Fact that
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: is the Committee for a Constructive Tomorrow Sea Fact dot Org. Bonner, Uh,
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: you know, man, Earth Day slid past everyone except for
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: those who celebrate as Lenin's birthday. And has this been
• 1:05
  Speaker 3: the most ambivalent Earth Day that you can recall there
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: at Sea Fact.
• 1:13
  Speaker 4: I'm actually of the opinion, Joe, that this Earth Day,
• 1:18
  Speaker 4: like unlike the others that have taken place since the
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: very first one in nineteen seventy, that this Earth Day
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: is well worth celebrating, precisely because the agenda that drove
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Earth Day from the very beginning is actually going up
• 1:39
  Speaker 4: slowly but surely. What we have discovered is that what
• 1:45
  Speaker 4: the Earth Day people would have you to believe, for instance,
• 1:49
  Speaker 4: is green energy is not even green by their own standard. Yeah,
• 1:54
  Speaker 4: that's fine, less clean.
• 1:56
  Speaker 3: Right, So you know when people catch onto that, are
• 2:02
  Speaker 3: they catching onto the cash transfer that this really is
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: because that's the green in.
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: This Yes, that's right. The only authentic green energy are
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: the sums of money, which are absolutely enormous. That includes
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: tax credits, grants, taxpayer back loans, and other goodies that
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: have been passed out not over years, but decades to
• 2:35
  Speaker 4: purveyors of green energy and green products. This has been
• 2:42
  Speaker 4: government tipping the scales in favor of politically favored sources
• 2:49
  Speaker 4: of both energy as well as building materials and what
• 2:53
  Speaker 4: have you. And where as it all led well, the
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: nation is now saddled with tens of thousands of wind turbines,
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: both on shore and off, which, once they reach the
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: end of their relatively short life expectancy, will wind up
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: almost entirely in landfills across the country. The same is
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: true with solar panels, not so much the ones that
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: some people put on their roofs, but rather the ones
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: that are in gigantic solar arrays around the country. They
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: too have a short life expectancy. They too are loaded
• 3:39
  Speaker 4: with toxic chemicals they can't be recycled like most of
• 3:44
  Speaker 4: the materials in the wind turbines, So they're going to
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: wind up in landfills, you know.
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: And those landfills, I don't think we're ready for the
• 3:52
  Speaker 3: kind of need for those, because it's not taking it
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: to the county. Dump a bonner, Hang on the line
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: a second. We've got to do our first things here
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: and right now. The battle over the budget. The US Senate,
• 4:07
  Speaker 3: in a voterathon, passed seventy billion dollars worth of spending
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: to keep Ice and the border patrol going for three years.
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: That group, as Chuck Schumer refers to it, Trump's private army,
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: is what he called it. I'm not kidding. Lebanon and Israel,
• 4:24
  Speaker 3: two sides that are actually doing battle with actual armies,
• 4:27
  Speaker 3: at least that's what Hesbola calls themselves, are at the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: negotiating table again, two diplomats meeting again for the second
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: time in as many weeks after not having direct talks
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: for three decades. The point of contention how to control
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: Hamas Navy Secretary John Fhalen is stepping out. He made
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: the announcement abruptly on Wednesday, no reason given. Former Virginia
• 4:53
  Speaker 3: Senatorial candidate hung Cow will be taking over as the
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: Secretary of the Navy. Federal Appeals Court issued an order
• 5:02
  Speaker 3: Wednesday blocking a California law requiring ICE agents to wear identification.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: Iran says it's going to continue the blockage of the
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: Strait of Horne Moves as long as the US is
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: blocking the Strait of Horn Moves. US Congressman David Scott,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: a Georgia Democrat, was in a battle for the Democratic
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: Party nomination to run for his thirteenth term in Congress
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: when he passed away yesterday at the age of eighty.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: As we've noted, a Virginia judge has issued an injunction
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: stopping the state Board of Elections from certifying Tuesday's vote
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: on redistricting, pointing to court cases before the Virginia Supreme
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Court that still need to be adjudicated. And Senate Republicans
• 5:52
  Speaker 3: mentioned that the seventy billion dollar border patrol bills, So
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: now we've come full circle on that. We'll get back
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: with Bonnard Cohen in a moment went from c fact
• 6:01

  Speaker 6: For veterans concerned about their alcohol or drug use, seeking
• 7:05
  Speaker 6: help can be the first step toward recovery. Doctor Joseph Liberto,
• 7:10
  Speaker 6: national Mental Health Director for Substance Use Disorders with the

  Speaker 8: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:08
  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
• 8:19
  Speaker 8: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:23
  Speaker 8: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:27
  Speaker 8: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:32
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  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

• 9:59
  Speaker 10: Hi, and it's always a boy growing up on a
• 10:02
  Speaker 10: farm in Tennessee. I've been fascinated with animals. I'm not
• 10:05
  Speaker 10: only in awe of their beauty and kindness, but also
• 10:07
  Speaker 10: their tireless work ethic. Just look at the birds who
• 10:10
  Speaker 10: gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes who work
• 10:13
  Speaker 10: hard to provide for their young, or penguins who travel
• 10:16
  Speaker 10: up to five hundred miles to secure food for their families,
• 10:19
  Speaker 10: or bush babies whose impressive jump allows them to navigate
• 10:22
  Speaker 10: the trees and the wild in search of fruit. This
• 10:24
  Speaker 10: remarkable work ethic is shared by our best friends, the canines.
• 10:28
  Speaker 10: We know dogs are wonderful pets at home, but because
• 10:31
  Speaker 10: of their acute senses, they also perform life saving work
• 10:34
  Speaker 10: every day. Dogs keep us.
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: Safe at airports.
• 10:36
  Speaker 10: They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer from PTS.
• 10:39
  Speaker 10: They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's a change
• 10:42
  Speaker 10: in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a variety of
• 10:45
  Speaker 10: highly trained roles that contribute to society and help those
• 10:47
  Speaker 10: in need. So please join me an American Humane and
• 10:50
  Speaker 10: supporting our heroic working dogs and all the amazing animals
• 10:53
  Speaker 10: on this planet we inhabit together. Go to American Humane

• 11:00
  Speaker 11: Oh brah, that's buzzed.
• 11:01
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah, yeah, he's starting with the woots.
• 11:05
  Speaker 12: And now a speech.
• 11:07
  Speaker 13: I just want to say that friendship is about heart,
• 11:10
  Speaker 13: heart and brain.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: Who's with me?
• 11:13
  Speaker 5: Good thing is he knows when he's buzzed, and my
• 11:16
  Speaker 5: brain is saying when it's time to go home.
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: Somebody call me a ride.
• 11:20
  Speaker 6: Love that guy, me too.
• 11:21
  Speaker 14: Know your buzzed warning signs, call for a ride when
• 11:24
  Speaker 14: it's time to go home.
• 11:25
  Speaker 6: Buzz driving is drunk driving.
• 11:29
  Speaker 15: Did you know that more than half our household energy
• 11:31
  Speaker 15: costs go to heating and cooling. Energy efficiency isn't just
• 11:35
  Speaker 15: good for the environment, It means lower utility bills too.
• 11:40
  Speaker 15: One way to reduce your energy waste is a home
• 11:42
  Speaker 15: energy assessment. Your utility company can help, or you can
• 11:46
  Speaker 15: learn how to do it yourself at energysavers dot gov.
• 11:50
  Speaker 15: That's energysavers dot gov. You'll learn to look for air
• 11:53
  Speaker 15: leaks around windows and doors, check ducts for holes, and
• 11:56
  Speaker 15: improve your insulation. Another time to cut energy is when
• 12:00
  Speaker 15: you shop for a new appliance. Look for the energy
• 12:03
  Speaker 15: Star logo and read the energy guide label. And there
• 12:07
  Speaker 15: are day to day things you can do. Lower your
• 12:09
  Speaker 15: thermostat in winter and raise it in the summer, close
• 12:12
  Speaker 15: fireplay stampers when they're not in use, and keep air
• 12:15
  Speaker 15: filters clean. For more tips on saving money by reducing

  Speaker 16: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:33
  Speaker 16: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 16: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:41
  Speaker 16: anger could be a sign of a larger health concern.
• 12:44
  Speaker 16: But help is available. Listen to hundreds of inspiring stories

  Speaker 2: Amaze your friends here in First Thing Today by Joe Thomas.
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: That's what green energy is, but Earth Day itself, and
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: I think we should inoculate the conversation here as we're
• 13:35
  Speaker 3: visiting with the great doctor Bonner Cohen from the Committee
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: for Constructive Tomorrow that neither you nor I, or Craig
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: Rucker or Chris Horner or anyone who wants to point
• 13:48
  Speaker 3: out the fraud in this wants dirty water or clear
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: cut forests. Ironically, it's the folks who cut down the
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: forest to put solar panels up are the ones cutting
• 13:58
  Speaker 3: down more trees than any one in the conservative debunking movement, Bonner,
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: and I hate I have to say that, but I
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: feel like I have to because they always come back.
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: What do you want? You want acidone in your river?
• 14:10
  Speaker 3: You want dead vation? And it's just so patently not true,
• 14:15
  Speaker 3: is it?
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: No, it's not. When we're talking about cutting down trees
• 14:21
  Speaker 4: safe for a data center or a solar array or
• 14:27
  Speaker 4: a wind farm. That's one thing, but remember this country
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: needs certain trees to be cut down for other purposes.
• 14:37
  Speaker 4: Trees are a renewable resources, a renewable resource, and we
• 14:43
  Speaker 4: have many tree farmers around the country who, yes, plant trees,
• 14:48
  Speaker 4: let them grow, they harvest them, and those trees eventually
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: wind up producing things like furniture in our homes and
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: off of and the other things for which with products
• 15:03
  Speaker 4: are used. And did what happened? Trees are replanted. It's
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: a renewable resource.
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: You know you you remind me of one of my
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: favorite moments of just gobsmacking shock Duke Energy out of
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: North Carolina. Gosh, I'm thinking it's almost twenty eleven or
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: twenty twelve issued an edict that they were going to
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: start shutting down their wood pellet fired power plants, and
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: their rationale for this was that they didn't include wood
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: as a renewable energy source and that they were only
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: going to work with renewable energy sources. And I read
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: the story and I read I read it twice just
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: to make sure I didn't misread a colon or something
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: like that, because you never want your colon's misread. And
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: the Duke Energy said wood not a renewable energy source.
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: It's amazing, isn't it.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: No, Yeah, the degree of ignorance here is absolutely appalling.
• 16:08
  Speaker 4: But in fact, wood is a renewable energy source. Yeah,
• 16:12
  Speaker 4: we have known this by that, we know just for
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: thousands of years. Well maybe we've just grown to the
• 16:20
  Speaker 4: corporate headquarters of Duke Energy.
• 16:22
  Speaker 3: That's right, because you can't actually own the tree. I
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: guess you could in a way, but you know, we
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: can grow our own and burn them and run generators
• 16:30
  Speaker 3: if we need to. Bonnard, you mentioned the landfills earlier,
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: and we were talking about all these places where, without question,
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: these things have to go. California herself lists solar panels
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: as a hazardous waste material. If California, the Land of
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: Fruit and Nuts, is going to call that out for
• 16:53
  Speaker 3: what it is. Why are we acting like, oh yeah,
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: just crumple it up and throw it away with as
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: much Reynolds wrap as you used to wrap your lunch
• 17:00
  Speaker 3: sandwich with.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: Rist This is a self same California which four years
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: has been promoting the use of solar pals.
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: Right where are we putting them?
• 17:16
  Speaker 4: That's right. So while on the one hand, they have
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: allowed one oil refinery after another to shut down, and
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: they have reached the point where they're importing now over
• 17:32
  Speaker 4: thirty five percent of their oil, never mind that they
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: have abundant resources of oil, both onshore and offshore, and
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: they have put their focus on winded solar, result about
• 17:47
  Speaker 4: highest electricity prices anywhere in the country, rolling brownouts and blackouts,
• 17:56
  Speaker 4: which coupled with their complete mismanagement of their natural resources.
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: See the wildfires to which are Californias are constantly exposed.
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: This is an environmental mismanagement on an absolutely epic scale.
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: That's the shame, because California is a beautiful place with a.
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: Lot of resources. Is it going to get worse if
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: Tom Steyer, I mean Tom Steyer is out there pulling
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: every trick in the book to get rid of Democrat
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: opponents in the primary, and even so he got rid
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: of a bunch of them, and then what's the name Javier,
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: but Sarah jumps ahead of him in the polls. I
• 18:40
  Speaker 3: warned my California listeners, it'll get worse under Tom Steyer.
• 18:44
  Speaker 3: You're going to look back on Gavin Newsom like like
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: you had Milton Freeze.
• 18:49
  Speaker 4: It's hard to believe, as that is, but there is
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: no bottom in California. As soon as you'd think, okay,
• 18:58
  Speaker 4: they'll wise up and someone else who has at least
• 19:02
  Speaker 4: a modicum of common sense, but odo that doesn't appear
• 19:07
  Speaker 4: to be the case whatsoever. Collectively, the political class in
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: California has learned absolutely nothing, zero, from all the mistakes
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: that they have made over the past several decades, including
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: not building one single reservoir since nineteen seventy eight. Never minds,
• 19:31
  Speaker 4: the population of California has increased, and this is a
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: state that's subject to droughts, some of are severe, and
• 19:41
  Speaker 4: they can then be followed by years in which they
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: get an extraordinary amount by their standards of both rain
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: and snow. So in the let years, you would think
• 19:51
  Speaker 4: the smart thing to do is store that water so
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: that we will have it at our disposal in dry years.
• 19:58
  Speaker 4: That's the common sense thing to do that has not
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: been done. So when you have a rainy, snowy year
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: for lots of water, it winds up in the Pacific Ocean,
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: which isn't lacking for water at all, and isn't there
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: to help put out the fires and supply Californians with
• 20:19
  Speaker 4: affordable drinking water. It's absolutely amazing, and I don't see
• 20:24
  Speaker 4: it getting any better at all.
• 20:26
  Speaker 3: Well, is there a danger though, that this brinksmanship will
• 20:29
  Speaker 3: run out of other people's money? And then what do
• 20:32
  Speaker 3: we do if the US dollar collapses, if the federal
• 20:35
  Speaker 3: government can't subsidize all this stuff anymore, what's going to
• 20:39
  Speaker 3: happen then, Bonnor.
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: We're going to be paying an enormous amount of money
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: just servicing the debt that we are pouring into, not
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: just course the camera of green energy, but all the
• 20:58
  Speaker 4: other things that we have been floating the the vast
• 21:03
  Speaker 4: bureaucracies in Washington. Trump, to his credit, has reduced the
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: size of the federal workforce by something like three hundred
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: and fifty five thousand people. That's a good step, in fact,
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: a very good step in the right direction, But we
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: still have bloated bureaucracies. We still have government. They're doing
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: a lot of things it has no business doing. We
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: still have the basic structure of Lyndon Johnson's Great Society
• 21:33
  Speaker 4: in place, which turned tens of millions of Americans into
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: wards of the state, reforming them from pulling themselves up
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: by their bootstraps and engaging in social mobility. But that's
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: not what they wanted, right.

• 24:31
  Speaker 8: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 2: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: All right, so you've taken your finger, pulled it out
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: of the air and hit your keyboard with it and
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: sent texts and emails Charles Wrights and I almost spit
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: my morning bourbon out through my nose when I heard
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: violence threatener Jay Jones's quote Virginia voters of no activist
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: judge should have veto power over the people's vote. Yeah,
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: that's you know what me too, And it's nothing burns
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: more than spitting your morning bourbon through your nose when
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: you have a spit take there. So I feel you
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: play it, But that is that is the truth. That's
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: why I said. I brought that up to Ken Kuchinelli
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: from the Election Transparency Initiative. Bob and Moscow writes in
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: with Virginia and all state elections, make it a law
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: that no referendums can be voted on except for the
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: biennual federal elections. This way you'll get a better and
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: even turnout. Also was asked that by hamp Down on
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: the Treasure Coast about the turnout when we voted in
• 29:47
  Speaker 3: favor of the referendum. There was about two million more
• 29:52
  Speaker 3: votes cast then, and it was a presidential election, which
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: leads to the higher turnouts. And that's what we saw
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: in Virginia passed their referendum in twenty twenty. That being said,
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: the whole point is that they broke several laws in
• 30:10
  Speaker 3: order to get there. Now, this goes back to one
• 30:14
  Speaker 3: of the bigger problems as an essence of our society,
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: getting what we want is more important than following the law.
• 30:24
  Speaker 3: So if I want a car, I can steal it,
• 30:27
  Speaker 3: tell the commonwealth or district attorney that I needed a
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: car real bad, real real bad, and they will go okay,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: and the hell with the other guy. The example was
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: a story from about four or five years ago. A nurse,
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: blue collar young you know, just starting out, not with
• 30:47
  Speaker 3: a ton of money, but working in nursing, which any
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: nurse will tell you is not where the lucrative jobs
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: are in medicine Somewhere, I think it's pharmacy benefit managers.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: But she was driving to work used car four or
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: five year old used car that she was using to
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: get to the hospital she was working out, I guess
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: if I'm remembering the story correctly, and then she was carjacked.
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: She was beat up pretty badly, but that wasn't the
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: worst part. She was no longer able to get to
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: work because unlike other people who shrug and say, oh,
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: I was going to have my insurance cover it, she
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: didn't have that kind of automobile insurance. So she was
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: just out of luck. And the guy who stole the
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: car wasn't charged because the charge the car had a
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Kelly brook book value of less than a thousand dollars.
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: I think so the Commonwealth attorney said, now you know,
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: the guy didn't steal sufficient amount of money to bring
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: down the letter of the law on him. That's the
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: world we're in. That's why politicians are boldened to break
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: laws just to get what they want. It's rule of
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: man over rule of law, and it will devolve into anarchy,
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: and I think that's intentional. Chuck Schumer with the apparently
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: Ted Cruz is out there is he is he on
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: what's it Blenders Splendor whatever it is, the betting website,
• 32:12
  Speaker 3: saying he'd got one hundred dollars that Chuck Schumer is
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: going to shut the federal government down on October first.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: October first is a spending deadline for budgeting. Why does
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: Ted think that? So that the government will be shut
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: down during the federal elections coming up for Congress, and
• 32:32
  Speaker 3: not just so that they could use it, but so
• 32:34
  Speaker 3: that they can suspend the operations of elections without the
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: federal support and database and everything else interesting that they.
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: I guess I'm just not craven enough to think of
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. Joel is on the line with us
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: at four three four eight eight two four to two
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: one seven. How about you, Joel? Are you are you
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: craven enough to think of dark hearted things like that?
• 33:01
  Speaker 20: No, but it's just that's like almost a prenosterdamis moment.
• 33:07
  Speaker 20: And there again, why aren't the Conservatives? Why aren't they
• 33:12
  Speaker 20: if they know about all this stuff, besides worrying about
• 33:15
  Speaker 20: their three thousand dollars suits themselves, why don't they? Why
• 33:19
  Speaker 20: don't they do something about it? You know, prevention is
• 33:22
  Speaker 20: the biggest key that least say with nursing.
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: Well, yeah, but here's the thing you think about this,
• 33:29
  Speaker 3: and Tom Garrett told us this yesterday and I didn't
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: realize that the Republican National Committee had committed ninety million
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: dollars to John Cornyan's re election campaign for a Republican primary,
• 33:42
  Speaker 3: So they spent ninety million dollars on on defeating another
• 33:48
  Speaker 3: Republican and didn't have any money left for the redistricting
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: fight in Virginia and still can't pass the Save Act.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Yet they can vote through the night to get money
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: for ice and border patrol, which is important, But why
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: can't we pass the Save Act? Why can't we get
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: these things done? Because they hide behind the rules of engagement.
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: I agree.
• 34:13
  Speaker 20: And the other thing, too, Joe, is that you're talking
• 34:16
  Speaker 20: about a third party. Well, they're all in, you know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 20: they all huddle around, they wait for the cameras to
• 34:23
  Speaker 20: come out. It's like, you know, I mean, just do something.
• 34:27
  Speaker 20: And that's the whole thing. Everybody's afraid to lose their
• 34:30
  Speaker 20: own skin, you know. And and and courage. Courage belongs
• 34:35
  Speaker 20: to the ones that don't worry about losing their own skin,
• 34:37
  Speaker 20: you know. And that's the big thing.
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: Well, and I think the bigger problem right now is that,
• 34:44
  Speaker 3: you know, the corruption that infests Washington is still there,
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: laying in wait for the new batch of Rodents to
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: make up their nests so they can start dining on them.
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: I'm serious, these these folks, they're their predatory and we
• 35:01
  Speaker 3: need to we need to take the power away. That's
• 35:05
  Speaker 3: what it's going to clean this up. I even amended
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: my call for ending the nineteen twenty nine Permanent Reapportionment
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Act because I said, you know, you might even get
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: some third parties. They're going to get corrupted too. If
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: you've got some third party candidate that gets elected and
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: then winds up on I don't know the Budget Committee
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: or the ways and means, that's always the biggie. They're
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: still going to get K Street lobbyists coming through and saying, yeah, yeah,
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: you're a really a great job in that campaign there, Bob,
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: why don't we give you some money? But Joe, you
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: got to see Claire to vote for our stuff. Bob,
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: we can't say that, wink wink, But you know, you
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: get the point. Look at the money we left here,
• 35:49
  Speaker 3: and that's where we are. That's how the soul gets old.
• 35:55
  Speaker 20: But you know, look at it this way too. Well,
• 35:58
  Speaker 20: while they're shut down, the Democrats shutthand is going on
• 36:03
  Speaker 20: and and and there's been other shuthands. I don't think
• 36:06
  Speaker 20: anybody in Congress or the Senate should get paid or
• 36:09
  Speaker 20: have any of their benefits, any of their benefits going.
• 36:12
  Speaker 20: And they're not gonna they're not gonna do term limits.
• 36:15
  Speaker 20: They're not going to do anything that's gonna help America.
• 36:18
  Speaker 20: They're just gonna keep protecting themselves. And people see that.
• 36:22
  Speaker 20: You know, if you don't have money, you can't get
• 36:25
  Speaker 20: legal aid, you can't be supportive of yourself unless somebody
• 36:28
  Speaker 20: out of the blue jumps on the case. Because they're
• 36:31
  Speaker 20: not doing it altruistically. They're doing it because they can
• 36:34
  Speaker 20: make a dollar off of you, and you only get
• 36:36
  Speaker 20: a third of what they settle on.
• 36:39
  Speaker 3: Well, we appreciated Joel. Uh, you know, and and as always,
• 36:42
  Speaker 3: keep checking in down there. You're doing all right in Arizona.
• 36:47
  Speaker 3: I'm okay.
• 36:48
  Speaker 20: You want to know where I'm at right now?
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: Uh? Is it going to get you in trouble with
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: law enforcement?
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: No?
• 36:55
  Speaker 20: Not yet, not yet, But I'm gonna. I'm in a
• 36:57
  Speaker 20: hot tub, watching the watching the sun come up.
• 37:01
  Speaker 3: You know, and you complain to us about your life. Man,
• 37:04
  Speaker 3: you know, I appreciate it. Enjoy the sunrise. Go hug
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: at cactus. And I mean at this time hot tub
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: in the morning. Yeah, I would have that cactus ug him.
• 37:15
  Speaker 3: They're four three four eight a two four to two
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: one seven. This comes in to the text line on
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: the election turnovers across the country. Why do all these
• 37:32
  Speaker 3: people think that these voters are going to vote the
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: way they want them to? You explained that Virginians don't
• 37:38
  Speaker 3: even register by political party. It's because it's about getting Trump.
• 37:43
  Speaker 3: But you know, beyond just the get Trump advertising, it's
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: also the get Trump advertising is attached to the messages
• 37:53
  Speaker 3: that the news desks continue to churn out with great
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: ease and skill. They just keep churning.

  Speaker 2: About the first Thing today by Joe Thomas on the
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: Dunk Media Network.
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: You know, we were talking yesterday about the March for Life,
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: and I'm glad we gave that more time than the
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: Earth Day, just because to be fair, I mean, I
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: just don't feel like we need to give run to
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: Earth Day. And we were talking about all the March
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: for Life organizations and when when they happen. Some of
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: them are going to be for a while, like the
• 44:44
  Speaker 3: Helena Montana one for our friends in Kalispell that's going
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: to be in January, then Colorado and Colorado's won't be
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: again until April. Just passed a week or so ago. Georgia,
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: there March for Life was in March, so you know,
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: there are some that are coming up, some that have
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: happened already. The California March for Life was March sixteenth,
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: but Oregons is May seventeenth, so you still have time
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: to go to o R dot March Forlife dot org.
• 45:23
  Speaker 3: Kevin Harris, our friends from the city elders. There's one
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: of the many groups that rally together thousands of people
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: here in Richmond, Virginia for the march, and I got
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: some time to march with them yesterday.
• 45:35
  Speaker 23: I'm doing good, Joe, Thank you so much.
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: A crowd like this makes you feel good, doesn't it.
• 45:40
  Speaker 23: It does in so many young people here, which is
• 45:42
  Speaker 23: really exciting. There's thousands of people here for the March
• 45:45
  Speaker 23: for Life and Richmond and just thank god for the
• 45:48
  Speaker 23: Family Foundation and all the organizations of the you know,
• 45:51
  Speaker 23: pro life National Group, and so it's just it's awesome
• 45:54
  Speaker 23: to be here with some awesome people.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: Well when you talk about on march like this, and
• 45:58
  Speaker 3: there's always couple of folks protesting out here at the gate,
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: but you know, it's it's not even a protest on
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: the basis of logic, isn't.
• 46:09
  Speaker 23: No, sir, No, it's a you know, it's I mean,
• 46:11
  Speaker 23: you know, the people that are here are just so
• 46:14
  Speaker 23: kind and civil, and you know they're here for life.
• 46:16
  Speaker 23: I mean they just you know, they want to see
• 46:18
  Speaker 23: the babies protected. They understand it. The keynote speaker today
• 46:22
  Speaker 23: used to work for Playing Parenting for nineteen years and
• 46:24
  Speaker 23: then she got fired because she started trying to think
• 46:27
  Speaker 23: up for the women who things weren't working right, and
• 46:30
  Speaker 23: then she saw things she started, you know, doing some
• 46:32
  Speaker 23: whistleblowing and got in trouble and but you know, she
• 46:35
  Speaker 23: just said her eyes were open. I loved how she
• 46:37
  Speaker 23: said that her eyes were open, just seeing that it's
• 46:39
  Speaker 23: not it's not healthcare, it's it's really it's murdering babies
• 46:42
  Speaker 23: in the womb. And so there's just people here standing
• 46:45
  Speaker 23: up for life today, which is so exciting.
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: As we've you know, I've done this for a long time,
• 46:50
  Speaker 3: as you know, I know you have, as well as
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: City Elders of Virginia Kevin Harris on with us. But
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: you know, one of the things that I've noticed over
• 46:57
  Speaker 3: time is that their argument to become more and more direct,
• 47:02
  Speaker 3: until now they're almost admitting that all they're really looking
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: for is contraception, in easy way of contraception, you know,
• 47:11
  Speaker 3: And and maybe that puts them in a police where
• 47:14
  Speaker 3: we can have a reasonable discussion about how you wind
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: up with an unwanted pregnancy.
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: You know.
• 47:19
  Speaker 23: You know, I've been a youth pastor a few times
• 47:21
  Speaker 23: in my life, and I would always tell, you know,
• 47:23
  Speaker 23: my young people, you know that God.
• 47:25
  Speaker 4: Actually he was the one who invented.
• 47:27
  Speaker 23: Uh sex and UH and the and the whole plan
• 47:30
  Speaker 23: of marriage. And and he did that because when you
• 47:32
  Speaker 23: do things God's way, you have you have joy, you
• 47:35
  Speaker 23: have peace. You know, when you're in a cove and
• 47:37
  Speaker 23: relationship with somebody, you don't have to be afraid of
• 47:39
  Speaker 23: an unplanned pregnancy because you've got somebody there to walk
• 47:42
  Speaker 23: through that journey. And and you know, in the enemy,
• 47:44
  Speaker 23: he wants to do everything and opposite of what how
• 47:47
  Speaker 23: God wanted it. It's not that God's a prude. He
• 47:49
  Speaker 23: invented it, but he did it in the confounds of
• 47:51
  Speaker 23: marriage and a holy covenant and and then so there
• 47:53
  Speaker 23: again so that it's a joyous thing. And you know,
• 47:56
  Speaker 23: we you know, we're here to support young women or
• 47:59
  Speaker 23: maybe the younger women that come up with an unplanned
• 48:01
  Speaker 23: pregnancy because it is very hard, it's very scary, it's
• 48:04
  Speaker 23: a very difficult time, and there's a lot of pressure
• 48:06
  Speaker 23: from different to different places, you know, but that's why
• 48:09
  Speaker 23: we support our local pregnancy health centers like Comfort Care
• 48:11
  Speaker 23: back Home and they're awarding of organization and they walked
• 48:14
  Speaker 23: through hand in hand with people and then you know,
• 48:17
  Speaker 23: Waynsborold Free Methodists and the Scott pastor Scott Broad. They
• 48:22
  Speaker 23: have a ministry that after the baby's born, they walked
• 48:23
  Speaker 23: through the mom and helped the baby with diapers and
• 48:26
  Speaker 23: wives and formula and you know, so there's people we
• 48:28
  Speaker 23: care about, people we care about life or not just
• 48:30
  Speaker 23: against stuff. We're for stuff as city elders and as
• 48:33
  Speaker 23: Christians here in the in for the Valley.
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: Well, I know you've got a bunch of folks here.
• 48:36
  Speaker 3: How many folks came up from the valley with city
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: elders today, Well.
• 48:40
  Speaker 23: The city elders from that we brought over fifty people
• 48:42
  Speaker 23: in a bus today. We rented a bus and some
• 48:44
  Speaker 23: people helped sponsor the bus, and we're grateful to those
• 48:47
  Speaker 23: business owners and individuals. But yeah, so we just want
• 48:51
  Speaker 23: to make our presence stone. And then we also have
• 48:53
  Speaker 23: a city Elders from Charlottesville and I just I just
• 48:55
  Speaker 23: got to see Pastor rich from Hampton Roads. City elders
• 48:58
  Speaker 23: from Hampton Roads and I'm from Richmond are here and
• 49:01
  Speaker 23: so all over the state of Virginia they come and
• 49:03
  Speaker 23: we're just so thankful for them and the leaders and
• 49:06
  Speaker 23: just just proud to be just honored to be a
• 49:08
  Speaker 23: part of City Elders Virginia.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: And so many young people.
• 49:10
  Speaker 23: That's what's really heartening here, is it really is, you know,
• 49:13
  Speaker 23: the young people are our future. And can you notice
• 49:16
  Speaker 23: see so many I'm carrying signs and marching today just
• 49:19
  Speaker 23: gives you hope, you know, it gives you hope that
• 49:21
  Speaker 23: you know, America is not lost as as we're here
• 49:24
  Speaker 23: all the time, and there is there is a chance
• 49:26
  Speaker 23: of you know, for down the road. And so yeah,
• 49:29
  Speaker 23: there's there's hundreds, maybe thousands of young people marching today
• 49:32
  Speaker 23: and so we're just thankful for the Christmas schools and
• 49:35
  Speaker 23: and the vision of people. It said, well they're all
• 49:37
  Speaker 23: in this together. Amen to that City Elders VA dot Org. Kevin,
• 49:40
  Speaker 23: thank you for walking with us a little bit. Paul Joe,
• 49:42
  Speaker 23: thank you. Thanks for all you do.
• 49:43
  Speaker 4: Man.
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: Have you ever a blessed day? And they're always a
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: blessing to spend time with folks like Kevin and those
• 49:49
  Speaker 3: folks said, yeah, that's you know, live from the March
• 49:52
  Speaker 3: of life yesterday here in Virginia. More of them coming up,
• 49:55
  Speaker 3: like I mentioned, if you've never done it's a great
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: you know, uh place to feel like you're not alone.
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: And that's one of the things. I mean, I know
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: that you're sitting there by yourself, listening to the radio,
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: and that's a blessing that you think enough of me
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: to take me out along as your companion. But in
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: some of these leftist moves, the feeling the thing that
• 50:22
  Speaker 3: they want you to feel like, and I think COVID
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: really prove that is that they want you to feel isolated.
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: I must be the only one that feels that way.
• 50:32
  Speaker 3: That's how they act, and they yell at you and
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: they break you so that you can feel less and
• 50:39
  Speaker 3: less worthy. It is truly the gas lit relationship we
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: have with our government, and it offends me. It really
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: bends me over backwards because it just makes me feel
• 50:56
  Speaker 3: like if more people realized how big gasl it they
• 51:04
  Speaker 3: really were, and how they were being treated by the
• 51:06
  Speaker 3: people who are supposed to be working for them. I mean,
• 51:10
  Speaker 3: imagine if you hired, I don't know, pick somebody. You
• 51:16
  Speaker 3: would hire an auto mechanic. So you hired an auto
• 51:18
  Speaker 3: mechanic and he looks at your car for fifteen minutes
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: and starts giving you crap. Well, I mean, you know,
• 51:25
  Speaker 3: you really don't know what you're doing when you drive
• 51:27
  Speaker 3: this car. The car is fine. You're a piece of
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: dog do when it comes to driving it. The reason
• 51:34
  Speaker 3: the car isn't running well is because you don't know
• 51:36
  Speaker 3: how to drive it. If you knew how to drive
• 51:39
  Speaker 3: this car better, she'd run fine. That's the kind of
• 51:44
  Speaker 3: relationship we have with our government right now. We have
• 51:49
  Speaker 3: to punish you because you make us. You give us
• 51:51
  Speaker 3: no choice. By the way, text message just now about
• 51:55
