- 0:50Speaker 5: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 0:54Speaker 5: That is the phone number. Text message is well most
- 0:58Speaker 5: popular way to interact with the program. I get it.
- 1:01Speaker 5: I know how crazy mornings are. You're getting off, you've
- 1:06Speaker 5: got people to get to know, or you're wrapping up
- 1:09Speaker 5: the day and it's like I got to get this
- 1:11Speaker 5: done before the bell rings, and it's just a cacophony
- 1:17Speaker 5: of time management. So I get why it's easier just
- 1:22Speaker 5: to shout something at voice to text and hit send.
- 1:26Speaker 5: So we will translate your text messages there to us
- 1:31Speaker 5: as well as we go on Bob McClure joining us
- 1:34Speaker 5: again from the James Madison Institute in Florida. Bob Good
- 1:39Speaker 5: hanging on the line with us as well. Bob McClure
- 1:42Speaker 5: on with us. Last question for you, Bob, it's the
- 1:46Speaker 5: mania that has gripped the end of twenty twenty five
- 1:49Speaker 5: and is spilling into twenty twenty six. Virginia's suffering it.
- 1:53Speaker 5: They're even going to try to pervert the constitutional amendment
- 1:58Speaker 5: process in virgin and you know, talk about a nuclear
- 2:01Speaker 5: option here. But Florida has also been caught up in
- 2:05Speaker 5: the redistricting discussion. What is going on in Florida with
- 2:09Speaker 5: attempts to redraw a districts mid mid decade.
- 2:16Speaker 7: I think you're gonna see we don't we're not bound
- 2:19Speaker 7: by the constitutional aspect in this area that Virginia or
- 2:24Speaker 7: in California and some of the other states have been.
- 2:26Speaker 5: So we're going to.
- 2:27Speaker 7: Move more into the Texas model where we're looking to
- 2:31Speaker 7: redistrict and I think you're going to see it happen
- 2:36Speaker 7: probably in early twenty twenty six. Our legislature meets in January.
- 2:42Speaker 7: It's an election year, so I think you're going to
- 2:45Speaker 7: see that happen and you're you know, the Republicans could
- 2:47Speaker 7: pick up one or two extra seats. It's been redistrict
- 2:52Speaker 7: pretty pretty strongly already. Governor Santus has been very candid
- 2:58Speaker 7: and strong on this, so I think, but I think
- 3:01Speaker 7: you're going to see them go back to the well
- 3:03Speaker 7: one or two more times or one more time and
- 3:06Speaker 7: see if they can see what happens if they can
- 3:08Speaker 7: get one or two more seats.
- 3:10Speaker 5: Well, I appreciate you catching us up. Bob McClure is
- 3:13Speaker 5: the president and CEO of the James Madison Institute, a
- 3:16Speaker 5: name that we love here in Virginia. It is the
- 3:20Speaker 5: it is their version of the Virginia Institute for Public
- 3:23Speaker 5: Policy down there, and I appreciate your time with us.
- 3:27Speaker 5: Where can people find you online to follow you and
- 3:30Speaker 5: see what's going on down in the Sunshine State.
- 3:34Speaker 7: A lot of folks can. Everybody can go to Jamesmadison
- 3:37Speaker 7: dot org and find out everything we've done on election
- 3:43Speaker 7: reform and a whole host of different issues. Jamesmadison dot org.

- 3:53Speaker 7: N S T Institute, and they can follow me at
- 3:56Speaker 7: doctor Bob McClure on Twitter as what well but that's
- 4:00Speaker 7: the work. Even though we are the James Madison Institute
- 4:04Speaker 7: and we're based in Florida, we focus on the same
- 4:08Speaker 7: issues that the Great Policy you, your Great Policy organization does,
- 4:13Speaker 7: pre markets, limited government, and personal responsibility.
- 4:16Speaker 5: Amen to that, and if we can get back to that,
- 4:18Speaker 5: we can get back to anywhere. Bob. You have a
- 4:20Speaker 5: wonderful weekend and happy Thanksgiving to you. Thank you, same

- 4:27Speaker 5: Three four eight eight two four two one seven. Of course,
- 4:30Speaker 5: you know we've got to tell you what's going on
- 4:32Speaker 5: so that we can discuss fairly, to be like, hey,
- 4:36Speaker 5: what do you think of this? I haven't heard of it. Well,
- 4:38Speaker 5: here are our first things. This morning. US federal judge
- 4:42Speaker 5: ruled yesterday that the Department of War's deployment of National
- 4:46Speaker 5: Guard forces to Washington, d C. Is illegal. The judge
- 4:50Speaker 5: stayed the effect of the ruling. However, till December eleventh,
- 4:55Speaker 5: Department of Justice apparently had subpoena personal phone records Judiciary
- 5:00Speaker 5: Committee Chair Jim Jordan as far back as twenty twenty,
- 5:05Speaker 5: seeking records covering a more than two year period. This
- 5:09Speaker 5: is all part of a trolling operation leading up to
- 5:14Speaker 5: the seating of the January sixth investigation under You Don't
- 5:18Speaker 5: Know Jack Smith. Congressman Eric Swalwell announced yesterday his launching
- 5:23Speaker 5: a campaign for governor of California. The congressman made the
- 5:28Speaker 5: announcement on the noted political discourse program Jimmy Kimmel Live,
- 5:33Speaker 5: where he told some jokes about setting aside the crazy
- 5:36Speaker 5: if Marjorie Taylor Green wanted to get under their tent
- 5:40Speaker 5: and help people for a change. He did say that
- 5:43Speaker 5: his gubernatorial administration would be defined by two things. One
- 5:48Speaker 5: keep Trump out of our homes, streets, and lives, and
- 5:52Speaker 5: number two, write the story of a new California on
- 5:56Speaker 5: lower prices and business growth. One of the top teachers unions,
- 6:01Speaker 5: the National Education Association, is in trouble. They were about
- 6:05Speaker 5: to bring all of their teachers to either an in
- 6:08Speaker 5: person or zoom seminar December, second, third, and fourth called
- 6:13Speaker 5: Advancing LGBTQ plus Justice. It includes how to become transgender
- 6:20Speaker 5: at work for teachers, and how to label conservative voices
- 6:25Speaker 5: as villains in the eyes of your students. The Centers
- 6:29Speaker 5: for Disease Control and Prevention have updated their website with
- 6:32Speaker 5: a new stance on the link between vaccines and autism.
- 6:36Speaker 5: The new wording on the CDC side says, quote, the
- 6:40Speaker 5: claim that vaccines do not cause autism is not an
- 6:44Speaker 5: evidence based claim because studies have not ruled out the
- 6:48Speaker 5: possibility that infant vaccines cause autism. And those are some
- 6:54Speaker 5: of our first things on this Friday morning here on
- 6:57Speaker 5: the Talk media Network.
- 7:01Speaker 6: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
- 7:04Speaker 6: people are actually happier with it. That sounds like something
- 7:07Speaker 6: to look into, and that's meta Share. Maybe you've heard
- 7:10Speaker 6: joining meta share can save you or your family up
- 7:13Speaker 6: to five hundred bucks a month, and that's huge, but
- 7:16Speaker 6: it's also true.
- 7:17Speaker 8: People are just happier with it.
- 7:18Speaker 6: They love being part of something that reflects and promotes
- 7:21Speaker 6: their values and what they believe in. Meta Share works too.
- 7:24Speaker 6: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
- 7:27Speaker 6: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
- 7:31Speaker 6: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide ppo networks.
- 7:35Speaker 6: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
- 7:37Speaker 6: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
- 7:40Speaker 6: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part

- 7:59Speaker 9: Forty Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the
- 8:07Speaker 9: few bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market.
- 8:13Speaker 9: I am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation,
- 8:18Speaker 9: our optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to
- 8:22Speaker 9: any nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing
- 8:26Speaker 9: or reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
- 8:32Speaker 9: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
- 8:37Speaker 9: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
- 8:42Speaker 9: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
- 8:46Speaker 9: in many instances, make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our
- 8:51Speaker 9: healthy cells even from radiation. Total wellness dot com where

- 10:04Speaker 1: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
- 10:06Speaker 1: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the
- 10:09Speaker 1: birds who gather supplies to build nests, or Swiss foxes
- 10:12Speaker 1: who work hard to provide for their young, or penguins
- 10:15Speaker 1: who travel up to five hundred miles to secure food
- 10:18Speaker 1: for their families, or bush babies whose impressive jump allows
- 10:21Speaker 1: them to navigate the trees and the wild in search
- 10:23Speaker 1: of fruit. This remarkable work ethic is shared by our
- 10:26Speaker 1: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
- 10:29Speaker 1: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also
- 10:33Speaker 1: perform life saving work every day. Dogs keep us safe
- 10:35Speaker 1: at airports. They comfort returning veterans, some of whom suffer
- 10:38Speaker 1: from PTS. They work with diabetics, alerting them when there's
- 10:41Speaker 1: a change in their blood chemistry. Working dogs have a
- 10:44Speaker 1: variety of highly trained roles that contribute to society and
- 10:47Speaker 1: help those in need. So please join me an American

- 13:08Speaker 2: As the first Thing Today by Joe Thomas on the
- 13:15Speaker 2: Tunk Media Network, All Natural and Free of Artificial Intelligence.
- 13:29Speaker 5: Former Chait They House, Freedom concas Now podcaster Bob good
- 13:33Speaker 5: a host of the Good for America podcast, sitting down
- 13:36Speaker 5: with us a little bit and look into the tea
- 13:38Speaker 5: leaves that before they even go into the boiling water. Bob,
- 13:41Speaker 5: do you think that you were going to see, as
- 13:45Speaker 5: you were mentioning, you know, a real discussion over fixing
- 13:49Speaker 5: Obamacare or is it just going to be come up
- 13:52Speaker 5: with some Republican styled.
- 13:54Speaker 17: You're an extension of Bombacare subsidies is probably likely to happen.
- 13:58Speaker 5: Well, you know, why do you Why do you think
- 13:59Speaker 5: that I know that Rick Scott has a proposal just
- 14:03Speaker 5: came out yesterday, So like the Affordable Care Act, you know,
- 14:07Speaker 5: you have to pass it before you can find out
- 14:10Speaker 5: what's in it. I guess, Bob, But why would we
- 14:16Speaker 5: still be struggling with this when we passed thirteen different
- 14:21Speaker 5: versions of repeal and replace, we've learned other things or
- 14:25Speaker 5: is it really what? Don't mean to bring her back up,
- 14:28Speaker 5: But it sounds like Marjorie Taylor Green is afraid of
- 14:31Speaker 5: the people who are just like my healthcare costs to do.
- 14:34Speaker 5: I don't give it damn about the Constitution and all
- 14:37Speaker 5: this tea party stuff anymore. Just make my healthcare costs
- 14:40Speaker 5: go down. And have we found ourselves in a position
- 14:45Speaker 5: where the Conservatives have to come up with a way
- 14:49Speaker 5: to do Obamacare light, As always seems to be the case.
- 14:53Speaker 5: We always rail against something and say, well, okay, well
- 14:57Speaker 5: we'll do something just slightly less bad, like still taking
- 15:02Speaker 5: the subsidy money but then sending it to the citizens,
- 15:05Speaker 5: which you know sounds like a better deal, but it's
- 15:09Speaker 5: still subsidizing the healthcare insurance industry.
- 15:13Speaker 17: I think the election results of two weeks ago will
- 15:15Speaker 17: strike even greater fear and Republicans they looked at the midterms.
- 15:19Speaker 17: I think they'll be afraid of reducing or eliminating subsidies
- 15:23Speaker 17: for people and their insurance rates going up in a
- 15:25Speaker 17: short term. And I think that there's enough Republicans who
- 15:29Speaker 17: believe in big government and government as the nanty provider,
- 15:32Speaker 17: that they'll put pressure on the Speaker and on the
- 15:36Speaker 17: Senate leader. And I think President Trump will also end
- 15:38Speaker 17: up calling for a deal because they're fearful about the
- 15:40Speaker 17: midterms instead of taking this opportunity, to your point, to
- 15:44Speaker 17: actually do something better for the American people and to
- 15:48Speaker 17: get government out of the healthcare business and eliminate subsidies
- 15:52Speaker 17: and welfare in healthcare and health insurance.
- 15:55Speaker 5: You know, Carl Rove pend a piece yesterday, was saying
- 16:00Speaker 5: that President Trump has smartly moderated, and you know, and
- 16:04Speaker 5: everyone's out there saying that, oh look, President Trump is
- 16:08Speaker 5: is becoming just like you know, all the other Republicans
- 16:12Speaker 5: in history. He's corrected his course, was what Carl Rove
- 16:16Speaker 5: wrote about the president, especially on the Epstein files, which
- 16:22Speaker 5: of all the people in all of Christendom, I'm pretty
- 16:24Speaker 5: sure you're not in the files, nor am I. But
- 16:28Speaker 5: I don't know about anyone else named Joe Thomas. But
- 16:32Speaker 5: but you know, it has President Trump. From where you're sitting,
- 16:36Speaker 5: flip flopped is one of those Mitt Romney era words.
- 16:38Speaker 5: But moderated when it comes to Epstein and and the tariffs.
- 16:46Speaker 5: Even though you know the tariff cut was really part
- 16:48Speaker 5: of a deal to open up our markets. Is President
- 16:52Speaker 5: Trump moderating heading into his second year? From where you sit.
- 16:57Speaker 17: Well, I think President Trump is clearly not idea log
- 17:00Speaker 17: He's not a true conservative at heart. He's a gut
- 17:03Speaker 17: instinct guy, shoot from the hip kind of a guy.
- 17:07Speaker 17: He's a big idea guy he likes and so you know,
- 17:11Speaker 17: it is hard to pin him down or to buttonhole him.
- 17:13Speaker 17: If you will take the tariffs, he said, the tariffs,
- 17:16Speaker 17: the purpose was we're gonna hey, we're going to implement
- 17:18Speaker 17: these tears.
- 17:19Speaker 5: That's how we're going to.
- 17:19Speaker 17: Address the fiscal crisis and address the deaths of the debt.
- 17:22Speaker 17: But then he wants to turn around and give two
- 17:23Speaker 17: thousand dollars stimulus checks to do what we did during
- 17:26Speaker 17: COVID that's exploded the debt, which is wealth redistribution. Take
- 17:29Speaker 17: it from those paying for the tariffs and give it
- 17:31Speaker 17: to those that we want to and that would absorb
- 17:34Speaker 17: almost all the revenue of the tariffs. And just if
- 17:37Speaker 17: you give a hundred million checks out for two thousand
- 17:39Speaker 17: dollars a prop that's two hundred billion dollars on an
- 17:42Speaker 17: annual basis. So you've got, you've got some inconsistencies that
- 17:45Speaker 17: he obviously changes a lot on the tariffs, and so
- 17:51Speaker 17: he's a little bit tough to pin down from an
- 17:52Speaker 17: ideological standpoint. He's not a true consistent conservative. That is
- 17:57Speaker 17: I think been demonstrated well.
- 17:58Speaker 5: And I guess that becomes the question is it conservatism
- 18:01Speaker 5: or populism? And I guess that'll be That'll be the
- 18:06Speaker 5: message of the midterms, I think is which will win
- 18:10Speaker 5: Bob An any idea as to you know how your
- 18:13Speaker 5: friends in the Old House Freedom concuss are feeling going
- 18:16Speaker 5: into the midterms.
- 18:19Speaker 17: Well, I hope that the Freedom Caucus will continue to
- 18:23Speaker 17: fight and work to pull the Conference to the right,
- 18:26Speaker 17: and that will actually earn the vote of the American
- 18:28Speaker 17: people by drawing a clear contrast between us and Democrats.
- 18:31Speaker 17: You said earlier in the broadcast, we don't want to
- 18:33Speaker 17: be Democrat light, because then voters will probably just vote
- 18:36Speaker 17: for the real thing. We need to give a clear
- 18:38Speaker 17: distinct difference between Republicans and Democrats and help the American
- 18:41Speaker 17: people choose. Hopefully they'll choose right.
- 18:42Speaker 5: What's coming up on the Good for America Podcasts this week, Well.
- 18:47Speaker 17: We'll continue to talk about just these various objects. We're
- 18:50Speaker 17: going to continue to talk about the spending between now
- 18:52Speaker 17: and the end of the year. We're going to look
- 18:54Speaker 17: at what we have to be thankful for Thanksgiving and
- 18:57Speaker 17: doing that Thanksgiving, so we certainly all need those reminders.
- 19:01Speaker 5: Well, we'll be here on Black Friday. You know, I
- 19:03Speaker 5: don't need to shop for anything, so we'll be on
- 19:05Speaker 5: the radio, so hopefully. And if you're traveling with you
- 19:09Speaker 5: there and I appreciate it, Bob, good good for America,
- 19:13Speaker 5: and I appreciate it. Good for America dot org. And
- 19:16Speaker 5: you have a wonderful Thanksgiving and we'll talk to you afterwards.
- 19:20Speaker 5: You as well, Joe, thank you four three four eight
- 19:23Speaker 5: eight two four two one seven And we get and
- 19:26Speaker 5: do it up. And that is the question. And and
- 19:28Speaker 5: understand that the peril in discussing populism versus conservative is
- 19:33Speaker 5: ism is what is driving the Nick Fointes narrative. And
- 19:39Speaker 5: I hate he's given them free airtime, this poser, this
- 19:44Speaker 5: dumpster arsonist who's just looking for populism. And and at worst,
- 19:51Speaker 5: I mean at best, most of these people at the
- 19:54Speaker 5: forefront of these groups are you know, doing nothing more
- 19:58Speaker 5: than the same click that a lot of people in
- 20:02Speaker 5: mainstream media are engaging in let me say something salacious,
- 20:05Speaker 5: whether there's any backing of it in my work product
- 20:09Speaker 5: or not. But make America great again, and again the
- 20:16Speaker 5: dangers the perils of sloganeering. MAGA was about making America
- 20:22Speaker 5: great again, not making America solo again, not making America
- 20:28Speaker 5: isolationist again. And all these people who want to interpret
- 20:33Speaker 5: this to their own ends. So when President Trump cuts
- 20:38Speaker 5: a deal or sits down with you know, the Ben Salmon,
- 20:43Speaker 5: and they're like, oh my god, that's so anti MAGA.
- 20:47Speaker 5: Is it is having good relations in the Middle East
- 20:50Speaker 5: not part of being great. Is having good relations in
- 20:57Speaker 5: Asia not part of being great. And I'm asking because
- 21:02Speaker 5: I know how I've vetted all this stuff, and I
- 21:04Speaker 5: look at it and I said, well, it seems to
- 21:06Speaker 5: be part of making America great, not making America white,
- 21:10Speaker 5: not making America you know, episcopalian. Not making apologies to
- 21:17Speaker 5: any Episcopalians that I do. But I'm just saying that,
- 21:20Speaker 5: you know, there are people like these posers, the ones
- 21:24Speaker 5: that I stood up against despite being quote a conservative
- 21:29Speaker 5: talk show host in Charlottesville in twenty seventeen, if I
- 21:34Speaker 5: have a point of gravitas to share with you. I
- 21:36Speaker 5: wouldn't give the dumpster arsonist of Charlottesville and Dick Spencer,
- 21:42Speaker 5: and then it turned out David Duke who was pulling
- 21:45Speaker 5: his ead and David Duke ain't no conservative. So you
- 21:52Speaker 5: know these people I rail against because they'll be the
- 21:56Speaker 5: loudest ones to tell you what MAGA is supposed to mean.

- 28:32Speaker 5: So the game of telephone that we play in America
- 28:38Speaker 5: because we're busy, especially now, So how do you vet
- 28:45Speaker 5: this stuff? And this is why in the big think
- 28:49Speaker 5: world you tell me. But four three four eight eight
- 28:51Speaker 5: two four two one seven as you're packing the bags
- 28:55Speaker 5: to head over the river and through the woods to
- 28:56Speaker 5: Grandma's house, and you're being told by people in news,
- 29:00Speaker 5: don't talk about politics. Maybe maybe it didn't even get
- 29:04Speaker 5: invited to Thanksgiving. I don't want you to come because
- 29:10Speaker 5: then you're gonna wear your maga hat and I don't
- 29:13Speaker 5: want to deal with that. And my kids and nobody.
- 29:20Speaker 5: You know, this is all symptomatic of a government that
- 29:23Speaker 5: has grown way outside of its constitutional parameters guaranteed. And
- 29:36Speaker 5: so what we have to look at is is this
- 29:41Speaker 5: even appropriate to be talking about the government fixing our
- 29:46Speaker 5: health insurance and making things cheaper again. This is why
- 29:49Speaker 5: I led into this with Bob Good was on the
- 29:54Speaker 5: premise that, hey, we know, Abigail Spanberger says she wants
- 29:58Speaker 5: to make things cheaper. Marjorie Taylor Green says she wants
- 30:01Speaker 5: to make things cheaper. Eric Swolwell wants to make things cheaper.
- 30:06Speaker 5: And it's just becoming a cacophony. And I know why
- 30:13Speaker 5: it is. It's to make you shut up and sit down.
- 30:17Speaker 5: If you're not sending me a check to help me
- 30:19Speaker 5: pay my bills, then you're not helping. You must be
- 30:23Speaker 5: part of the problem. You're out there helping the billionaires
- 30:27Speaker 5: and millionaires that are the shareholders of these companies. You
- 30:30Speaker 5: know how the majority of the shareholders of these companies
- 30:33Speaker 5: are four one k's. We should get our buddy Steve
- 30:37Speaker 5: Campbell back on. He'll tell you who the billionaires and
- 30:46Speaker 5: millionaires most of the people who own shares in these companies,
- 30:50Speaker 5: whatever the company may be, are four to oh one
- 30:52Speaker 5: k's and pension funds, and is people just like you
- 30:57Speaker 5: and me counting on my pension to be big enough
- 31:00Speaker 5: for me to live off of when I decided to
- 31:02Speaker 5: hang it up. So you know, the reality doesn't match,
- 31:11Speaker 5: you know, the rhetoric. So what's the reality when you
- 31:20Speaker 5: get to Thanksgiving dinner and kids are all mad because
- 31:24Speaker 5: nobody's paying back their college tuition loans, and you say,
- 31:31Speaker 5: but the constitutional like, yeah, I don't give a crap
- 31:35Speaker 5: because I'm here right now, and I've got Bernie mac
- 31:39Speaker 5: or Freddie Prinz or whoever it is calling me for
- 31:43Speaker 5: my student loan payment, ed financial is on the phone again.
- 31:53Speaker 5: Or I've got this lump that I've got to take
- 31:56Speaker 5: care of, but I can't afford it because my premiums
- 32:00Speaker 5: got too high, so I dropped Obamacare, or heaven forbid
- 32:06Speaker 5: all of the insurance carriers in my area they left Obamacare,
- 32:11Speaker 5: and now I'm left with just Blue Cross, Blue Shield.
- 32:16Speaker 5: Because our friends in Florida, I'll tell you that the
- 32:19Speaker 5: homeowner's insurance in Florida is situation is exactly the same
- 32:23Speaker 5: thing we're dealing with Obamacare insurance. Nobody wants to do it.
- 32:28Speaker 5: It became too expensive under COVID. That's why the COVID
- 32:34Speaker 5: subsidies for the premiums, because the insurance company said, dude,
- 32:39Speaker 5: we're not paying for all this. You told us it
- 32:42Speaker 5: would be all fun in games. You told us that
- 32:45Speaker 5: the government would say, sorry, no expensive treatment for you.
- 32:49Speaker 5: Paul Krugman promised us that there wouldn't be expensive treatments
- 32:53Speaker 5: for people, and now we're giving expensive treatments for people.
- 32:57Speaker 5: Paul Krugman promised us. He promised we weren't going to
- 33:02Speaker 5: have to pay out of our nose and eat up
- 33:05Speaker 5: all of the money that we've been building up. And
- 33:12Speaker 5: when you break down COVID and the response to COVID,
- 33:15Speaker 5: and you look at the things that it did, understanding
- 33:20Speaker 5: that there is a pretty good chance it was a
- 33:23Speaker 5: bio weapon. Now the question remains whether it was a
- 33:28Speaker 5: bioweapon that by accident or if it was a bioweapon
- 33:33Speaker 5: that was released intentionally. That becomes the bigger question. But
- 33:37Speaker 5: it was a bioweapon. It was a bioweapon. Doctor Robert
- 33:40Speaker 5: Malone has been on this program. They used is RNA
- 33:46Speaker 5: research to create vaccines on the fly quick you know,
- 33:55Speaker 5: quickie vaccines, vaccine templates is what I call them, because
- 34:00Speaker 5: my mind has to create something. I have templates for
- 34:03Speaker 5: promotional announcements and things like that. Oh and you just
- 34:08Speaker 5: drop in the game time that you want to change
- 34:12Speaker 5: the promotional announcement to and tune in Thursday at five.
- 34:16Speaker 5: You know, that's what this is. It's a vaccine template
- 34:21Speaker 5: that they use doctor Malone's MR and a research and
- 34:25Speaker 5: breakthroughs to create. Why Because if somebody deployed a quasi
- 34:31Speaker 5: lethal nerve or biological weapon on the battlefield, the mash
- 34:37Speaker 5: units needed to be able to go. This is the virus.
- 34:40Speaker 5: Put it in the template, Get me a thousand vaccines
- 34:43Speaker 5: by next week, and we'll try to keep these people
- 34:46Speaker 5: from it. Because the whole idea the GAG is to
- 34:51Speaker 5: create a bio weapon that makes your soldiers incapable of
- 34:55Speaker 5: fighting for a period of time, but isn't lethal. Because Nuremberg,
- 35:03Speaker 5: as everyone stays away, apparently nobody's talking about the box
- 35:08Speaker 5: office for Nuremberg, are they? Oh, he made us feel
- 35:13Speaker 5: like Germany would be great again. Why would you follow
- 35:18Speaker 5: such a man? What else would he say? I mean
- 35:21Speaker 5: the scenes, I mean the promotional announcement that gurring might
- 35:26Speaker 5: as well just be wearing a red ball gap. He
- 35:29Speaker 5: said he would make Germany great again. My god, so obvious.
- 35:36Speaker 5: I thought creative people lived in Hollywood. I guess not.
- 35:40Speaker 5: But ever since Nuremberg we have these rules, Ever since Versailles,
- 35:45Speaker 5: we have these rules over things like mustard gas. Can't
- 35:50Speaker 5: spray lethal pathogens on your opponent's soldiers. Ah, but if
- 35:56Speaker 5: they're not designed to be lethal, they're just designed to
- 36:00Speaker 5: make them really sick. Oh, well that's different. We have
- 36:03Speaker 5: a blind spot for that. So this bio weapon gets
- 36:06Speaker 5: released on America, an America that now has created this
- 36:12Speaker 5: fragile network of people paying for other people. It doesn't
- 36:20Speaker 5: take a lot to knock that house of cards down.
- 36:23Speaker 5: So why would we just keep it going? Because telling
- 36:27Speaker 5: people it's not sustainable is a bad way to go
- 36:31Speaker 5: into an election, because you have to first. It's just
- 36:42Speaker 5: like the forty eight hundred or five thousand people that
- 36:46Speaker 5: the shutdown deal brought back in all the bureaucrats. The
- 36:50Speaker 5: problem firing all the bureaucrats identified was that we still
- 36:54Speaker 5: needed the bureaucrats because the laws that we had to
- 36:58Speaker 5: go get permission to do something from the bureaucrats still existed.
- 37:02Speaker 5: So getting rid of the bureaucrats before we got rid
- 37:05Speaker 5: of the laws was dumb. And I'm sure the way
- 37:11Speaker 5: the plan worked was that they were going to have
- 37:14Speaker 5: those laws fixed before they started getting rid of the bureaucrats.
- 37:17Speaker 5: I'd like to think that that was the plan. And
- 37:21Speaker 5: the same thing is true with the Affordable Care Act.
- 37:24Speaker 5: And we'll come in. We'll go into what we know
- 37:26Speaker 5: about Rick Scott's plan. This text message from Gina in Florida,
- 37:31Speaker 5: listening on w r D in Daytona, and thank you
- 37:37Speaker 5: for listening down there. She says, Great, Rick Scott is

- 37:45Speaker 5: Pam Bondy will be the adjudicator of it, and we'll
- 37:49Speaker 5: have red flag laws and all the other things that
- 37:51Speaker 5: Rick Scott and Pam did while they were Governor and
- 37:54Speaker 5: ag of Florida. Ah, I love the enthusiasm on this

- 44:31Speaker 5: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven.
- 44:34Speaker 5: So our friends in Florida know well when Rick Scott
- 44:38Speaker 5: or Pam Bondi says, we'll fix everything for you, and
- 44:42Speaker 5: we harken back to, you know, the horrors of things
- 44:45Speaker 5: like Trayvon Martin, George Zimmerman, Parkland, Marjorie Stoneman, Douglas not
- 44:54Speaker 5: Marjorie Taylor Green, the terrifically horrific events that they had
- 45:00Speaker 5: shepherd through and often took less than conservative answers to it.
- 45:06Speaker 5: And there are unfortunately forever tied to what happens when
- 45:12Speaker 5: people who purport to be conservatives are confronted with an
- 45:17Speaker 5: angry mob. We take the dom DeLuise paradigm, not the face,
- 45:29Speaker 5: and we take and we capitulate. This is how we
- 45:35Speaker 5: wind up multiple trillions of dollars in debt. This is
- 45:39Speaker 5: how we wind up with a dollar that's worth pennies
- 45:42Speaker 5: compared to what it was worth in the sixties. Because
- 45:48Speaker 5: every time we say well this is broken, an angry
- 45:51Speaker 5: mob shows up and sad, don't touch it. It's broken,
- 45:55Speaker 5: but it's all we've got, which is not true. But
- 45:59Speaker 5: the gas light has been very thorough. So Scott Care,
- 46:04Speaker 5: I know he would probably rather call it Trump Care.
- 46:09Speaker 5: Rick Scott has rolled out his proposal yesterday afternoon. It's
- 46:13Speaker 5: called the More Affordable Care Act. I see what you
- 46:18Speaker 5: did there, Rick. It takes the Affordable Care Act framework
- 46:24Speaker 5: of you know, mandated insurance companies, mandated participation in the
- 46:32Speaker 5: healthcare marketplace, but it expands what that marketplace looks like.
- 46:40Speaker 5: Instead of subsidies going to the insurance company to pay
- 46:44Speaker 5: for your deductibles, they will go into a health savings
- 46:48Speaker 5: account for you to use as you see fit. And
- 46:50Speaker 5: as I look for details, I've asked some inconvenient questions
- 46:56Speaker 5: like okay, so can I use this subsidy account, the
- 47:00Speaker 5: Trump Care health Savings account health Freedom account is what
- 47:06Speaker 5: they're calling it. Can I use it to join a
- 47:10Speaker 5: direct primary care association and just buy a major medical account?
- 47:16Speaker 5: Or do I have to buy an HMO? And it's
- 47:21Speaker 5: not in there. It's another one of these. You can't
- 47:25Speaker 5: read it until you vote for it. I guess, Rick,
- 47:28Speaker 5: you want to talk about keeping some of the lattice
- 47:30Speaker 5: work from the Affordable Care Act. The Trump Health Freedom
- 47:36Speaker 5: accounts are not your money. It's the federal subsidy dollars
- 47:43Speaker 5: going into accounts in your name if you're signed into
- 47:47Speaker 5: the program. They could not be used for abortion related services. Okay,
- 47:57Speaker 5: but that was important for them to put out there
- 48:00Speaker 5: so that that portion of the conservative voter base would
- 48:03Speaker 5: be all right, all right? You know, consumers would be
- 48:08Speaker 5: able to use the accounts to purchase ACA compliant plans
- 48:13Speaker 5: or other approved coverage options. Now does a direct primary
- 48:20Speaker 5: care association fit into that approved coverage option? If I
- 48:28Speaker 5: want a major medical But the high deductible plans is
- 48:36Speaker 5: what they call it. It's basically what if you're old enough,
- 48:41Speaker 5: you remember the major medical so you would be able
- 48:51Speaker 5: to have an hd HP high deductible health plans. See,
- 48:55Speaker 5: everyone loves their acronyms. You take the high deductible health
- 49:01Speaker 5: plan and then you get a direct primary care Association
- 49:05Speaker 5: membership and it costs pennies on the dollar. But does
- 49:11Speaker 5: this get approved? Does this plan in order to get
- 49:16Speaker 5: rogue Kanna or Hakeem Jeffries or Eric Swallwell to jump
- 49:23Speaker 5: on board, Tim Kain or Mark Warner. If they're going
- 49:26Speaker 5: to jump on board with this, what about all the
- 49:32Speaker 5: doctors starting with rand Paul on down? Does Ran Paul
- 49:36Speaker 5: support this? I've talked to Ran Paul about direct primary
- 49:41Speaker 5: care associations and this doesn't sound like a direct primary
- 49:45Speaker 5: care association. This sounds like a cash grab. And I
- 49:52Speaker 5: guarantee you if this passes, you will find direct primary
- 49:55Speaker 5: care associations popping up like dandelions in spring, and you'll
- 50:06Speaker 5: have to be careful because some of them are going
- 50:08Speaker 5: to be snake oil salesman. Josh Umber at the Direct
- 50:16Speaker 5: Primary Care Association one of the founders of the business
- 50:20Speaker 5: model of direct primary care associations, and they're basically it's
- 50:24Speaker 5: it's to put it in a metaphor, you'll get it's
- 50:29Speaker 5: it's like costco for medical treatment. You join, it's a club,
- 50:38Speaker 5: you pay either monthly or annually membership, and then there's
- 50:43Speaker 5: you know, twenty five bucks to see the doctor wherever. Interestingly,
- 50:51Speaker 5: I remember the first time I met Josh Umber and
- 50:54Speaker 5: the Direct Primary Care Association, I said, so this was
- 50:56Speaker 5: kind of what they told us HMOs were supposed to be,
- 51:01Speaker 5: and he actually told me I was right. The sales
- 51:07Speaker 5: pitch behind health management organizations AHMOS, Blue Cross, Blue Shield,
- 51:11Speaker 5: all that was supposed to be exactly that, pay a
- 51:14Speaker 5: membership fee and then you go see a doctor for
- 51:17Speaker 5: a few bucks. That's not worked out.
- 51:20Speaker 23: Has it?
- 51:25Speaker 5: And the minutia of this Trump care proposal has got
- 51:33Speaker 5: to be vetted out into how much control over what
- 51:37Speaker 5: you use this HSA money for will the government have
- 51:43Speaker 5: because some of the things that kill health savings accounts
- 51:46Speaker 5: up to this point was how long can you hold
- 51:49Speaker 5: on to the money, how frequently do you have to
- 51:52Speaker 5: divest the health savings account. My belief is that if
- 51:56Speaker 5: you had an open ended health savings account, you start
- 51:59Speaker 5: at twenty five or thirty saving into your health savings account.
- 52:03Speaker 5: By the time you're seventy and you need more medical care,
- 52:07Speaker 5: you've saved up so much money. Not only do you
- 52:11Speaker 5: have enough money to pay cash on the barrel head
- 52:13Speaker 5: for your treatments for whatever ales a seventy year old
- 52:18Speaker 5: or eighty year old, but you're probably helping your kids
- 52:21Speaker 5: pay for their grandkids healthcare. Let me pay for let
- 52:24Speaker 5: me pay for little Joey's well baby visit, so you know,
- 52:32Speaker 5: beware this is it better? Well, it's okay. So instead
- 52:36Speaker 5: of hitting my hand with a hammer, I'm hitting it
- 52:38Speaker 5: with a smaller hammer. But until Saturday morning at six
- 52:44Speaker 5: or Monday morning at five. So long, Thanks for all
- 52:49Speaker 5: the fish.
