  Speaker 3: Media Network by Joe Thomas.
• 0:33
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting me be of service to you
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: this morning as we gather together on the Tedsdy, the
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: final one of May. Oh my gosh, we're already halfway home,
• 0:44
  Speaker 4: aren't we. I mean this is we're just getting to
• 0:46
  Speaker 4: the crest of it as we head into twenty twenty six.
• 0:50
  Speaker 4: Summer is nigh and the tedsty washes all around us.
• 0:55
  Speaker 4: For those joining us in progress, this of the day
• 0:58
  Speaker 4: that we set aside to be like Ted, which is
• 1:02
  Speaker 4: not to say, play guitar, but find out what it
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: is that you are gifted to do, like Ted and
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: guitars and whatever that may be. Become expert in it,
• 1:15
  Speaker 4: apply it with zeal and an unending desire to serve
• 1:22
  Speaker 4: your grateful constituency.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: They will reward you justly.
• 1:26
  Speaker 4: And then, guess what, you don't have to worry about
• 1:29
  Speaker 4: what the haters and the keyboard warriors say about you,
• 1:34
  Speaker 4: just like Ted. That's how we roll this morning on
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: a program that'll tell you what went on last night.
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: I'll give you my analysis of it, of course, but
• 1:43
  Speaker 4: I also want to hear how it is impacting you
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: where you are post Texas elections. As predicted on this program,
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: Ken Paxton easily winning the battle and everyone a lot
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: of folks I don't know, Cornyn was ahead and the runoff,
• 2:03
  Speaker 4: I said, yeah, with millions of Republican Party money trying
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: to overthrow President Trump's endorsement. And that's an important aspect
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: of this, And I love the way the media covers
• 2:20
  Speaker 4: this because it is well, it's one of the reasons
• 2:26
  Speaker 4: that you pick shows like this one to listen to
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: rather than all the mainstream, fancy, big budget paid for
• 2:37
  Speaker 4: by big pharma news programs. You choose us because we
• 2:44
  Speaker 4: are independent of all of that and we're just here
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: to serve you. And their coverage of this based around
• 2:58
  Speaker 4: the whole idea that Trump is trying to win the
• 3:02
  Speaker 4: Republican Party over the party is such a mischaracterization and
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: we'll get into that this morning, amongst so many other things.
• 3:12
  Speaker 4: And here are the first things. Ken Paxton won the
• 3:15
  Speaker 4: Republican nomination for Senate Tuesday, as I said. Also, Cornyn
• 3:22
  Speaker 4: in his concession speech said, I've always supported the Republican
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: ticket and I intend to do so again, avoiding saying
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: Paxton's name, which is a common trade of early twenty
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: twenties or early two thousands. Republicans. Congressman Christian Menefie defeated
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: veteran Congressman Al Green in Texas's eighteenth district, dispatching the
• 3:46

• 3:51
  Speaker 4: congressman defeated Congresswoman Julie Johnson in the Dallas area thirty
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: third district. Already lost his US Senate challenge to Republican
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Ted Cruz, who was going to take another shot at
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: until he realized, Hey, I could win a congress race again.
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: Near San Antonio. Johnny Garcia won the primary for Texas's
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: thirty fifth district Democratic Party against Maureen Galindo, who had
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: troubled her party because of anti Semitic statements she had made,
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: and she'll face Republican Carlos Dela Cruz, who defeated John
• 4:29
  Speaker 4: Lujan in the GOP primary. California's governor race is getting
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: expensive win loser draw. Tom Steyer will have set records

  Speaker 4: the President's interview with a ghost writer that were obtained
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: by this special council investigating his handling of classified documents.
• 5:18
  Speaker 4: Biden's lawyers argue the disclosure would quote constitute an unwarranted
• 5:23
  Speaker 4: invasion of the President's privacy. Israel's military clashed with Hezbolah

  Speaker 2: Considered by most optimized curcumin is one of the few
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: bioavailable and highly absorbable curcumin products on the market. I
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: am doctor Mitch. Since most chronic diseases have inflammation, our
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: optimized curcumin seems to be a perfect addition to any
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: nutritional program. It makes sense to me that preventing or
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: reducing inflammation is a key component to our overall health.
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: in many instances make chemotherapy more effective. It protects our

  Speaker 14: As a family member or friend, you may be the
• 12:32
  Speaker 14: first to notice when a veteran you love has been
• 12:35
  Speaker 14: going through changes. Things like withdrawing, drinking more, or increased
• 12:40

  Speaker 16: Treatment works, recovery is possible, question.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: Hundred to do lists. Putting the radio on is the
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: first thing today?
• 13:18
  Speaker 13: Time, look at mountain, time, need a bring the table,
• 13:26
  Speaker 13: don do little visit.
• 13:29
  Speaker 16: I can do with the spear, not and break the spear.
• 13:39
  Speaker 1: And thank you for letting us be of service to
• 13:45
  Speaker 1: you this morning.
• 13:46
  Speaker 13: When everyone in Washington told him to abandon me, an
• 13:49
  Speaker 13: abandon the people of Texas, he didn't listen.
• 13:52
  Speaker 6: Instead, he gave his complete and total endorsement.
• 13:55
  Speaker 4: And and I want to unpack some of this because
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: the press is making that this is the GOP being
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: taken over by Trump, and I find this to be
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: a fascinating I mean, it's what now twelve years of
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: fascination over this. It has always been assumed that the
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: president is the leader of whichever political party.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: They're from.
• 14:29
  Speaker 4: Bill Clinton was in charge of the Democratic Party, and
• 14:33
  Speaker 4: I don't mean day to day he wasn't, but you know,
• 14:36
  Speaker 4: his people like Donna Brazil and such were involved in
• 14:42
  Speaker 4: the nuts and bolts of it. Their people ran the
• 14:46
  Speaker 4: party because they have held the quote highest office. I
• 14:51
  Speaker 4: put it in air quotes because I still believe the
• 14:54
  Speaker 4: office is closer to you are supposed to be the
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: higher ones. But we can get into that at four
• 15:01
  Speaker 4: three four eight a two four to two one seven
• 15:04
  Speaker 4: text message or phone calls until Donald Trump came along.
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: And then somehow it's this battle between the Republican Party
• 15:13
  Speaker 4: and Donald Trump. Donald Trump wants his people in the party,
• 15:20
  Speaker 4: and they missed the point. And maybe it's something only
• 15:24
  Speaker 4: a radio guy can grasp. Is that Ken Paxton, and
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: I told you about this after the runoff last week.
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: I said, he's going to run away with this. The
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: Republican establishment had sent so much money, including money that
• 15:43
  Speaker 4: could have helped Virginia avoid the Supreme Court, nervousness over
• 15:49
  Speaker 4: our attempts to overthrow redistricting, and our Constitution.
• 15:59
  Speaker 1: The vote.
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: No.
• 16:01
  Speaker 4: People in Virginia had asked the RNC for help, and
• 16:05
  Speaker 4: they said, now, we're busy in Texas with John Cornyn,
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: and I pointed this out during the news break in
• 16:14
  Speaker 4: a very typical two thousands era Republican he said, I
• 16:19
  Speaker 4: will support the Republican ticket, and I guarantee you between
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: now in November, you will not hear him say the
• 16:27
  Speaker 4: name Ken Paxton. He'll go out and he'll hold events
• 16:33
  Speaker 4: and he'll say, we need to vote for the Republican
• 16:35
  Speaker 4: Party in November, and I support the Republican Party, and
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: please vote for the Republican Party. And Republicans need to
• 16:44
  Speaker 4: get out and vote for their Senate candidates. And it's
• 16:53
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it was Carl Row somebody who
• 16:56
  Speaker 4: said acknowledging that you have an opponent is giving them
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: free airtime.
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: I don't know.
• 17:03
  Speaker 4: I've heard that too about radio. Never acknowledged he I
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: used to work for some of the craziest people. Don't
• 17:12
  Speaker 4: mention primetime television, Joe. We want them listening to the radio.
• 17:17
  Speaker 1: Okay.
• 17:17
  Speaker 4: We played the love songs of the seventies and eighties,
• 17:21
  Speaker 4: and I get it. Maybe somebody's got a little champagne
• 17:24
  Speaker 4: and some scented bath soaps, and they're gonna get there, no, no,
• 17:29
  Speaker 4: no on. And they want to listen to a little
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: bit of the love songs of the seventies and eighties.
• 17:36
  Speaker 4: But most people are not listening to the love songs
• 17:39
  Speaker 4: of the seventies or eighties at eight o'clock on a
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: Thursday night. So acknowledging that I may have seen an
• 17:45
  Speaker 4: episode of Cheers didn't seem like it was a bad thing,
• 17:48
  Speaker 4: but I got upbraided for it. And so Cornyn comes
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: from that same consult class. I don't acknowledge that anyone
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: else exists. You're alone in the world. But what really
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: is at the battle is that Donald Trump gets you,
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: and the Republican Party does not. The Republican Party wants
• 18:11
  Speaker 4: to continue as the business representatives of a of a
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know if it's permanent outsiders or what the
• 18:21
  Speaker 4: permanent minority party, whatever you want.
• 18:23
  Speaker 1: To call it.
• 18:26
  Speaker 4: They have a business model and they seem married to
• 18:30
  Speaker 4: it rather than you, the voter. And every time Donald
• 18:34
  Speaker 4: Trump endorses a candidate and they win, the punditry says,
• 18:39
  Speaker 4: just as Trump trying to take over the Republican Party. Yeah,
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: because the Republican Party had lost touch with voters. Isn't
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: that what we're supposed to be about?
• 18:52
  Speaker 1: Here?
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: Four three four eight eight two four two one seven
• 18:57
  Speaker 4: c and how the news of the day is impacting you.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: Good morning, your on the air with Joe. Who's this, Hey, Joe,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: it's Clark Bardy Clark.
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: How are you doing this morning, sir.
• 19:06
  Speaker 18: I'm absolutely super on two fronts, Joe. One of them
• 19:10
  Speaker 18: a little bit of a goof. You said Ted's day.
• 19:13
  Speaker 18: We try to be like Ted. Yeah, next month, we're
• 19:17
  Speaker 18: gonna be liking Charlie, and I'm excited about that.
• 19:21
  Speaker 4: It's Pride Mound, Charlie, Pride Bud Starts, Jude's one.
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: That's right, That's right.
• 19:25
  Speaker 12: All right.
• 19:26
  Speaker 18: Now, that's just a little bit of a goof. Here's
• 19:29
  Speaker 18: what I really am excited about. The talking heads the
• 19:33
  Speaker 18: Unit Party wants to say this is Trump taking over
• 19:37
  Speaker 18: the Republican Party.
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: They wish that's what it was about.
• 19:40
  Speaker 11: Joe.
• 19:42
  Speaker 18: It's not about Trump taking it over. It's about MAGA
• 19:46
  Speaker 18: starting to take things over. And here's the thing. Trump
• 19:50
  Speaker 18: has an expiration date. MAGA doesn't have one, but need
• 19:55
  Speaker 18: to have one.
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 19:56
  Speaker 4: I'm sorry he keeps going not to disagree with the caller,
• 20:00
  Speaker 4: but you know, Tucker Carlson has spent several hours on
• 20:05
  Speaker 4: his podcast telling everyone that Magga is dead.
• 20:07
  Speaker 1: Doctor Clark, are you saying Carlson is wrong?
• 20:11
  Speaker 18: I don't know who. I don't know who's paying Tucker nowadays,
• 20:15
  Speaker 18: probably the same people paying the UNI Party.
• 20:19
  Speaker 1: So there's that.
• 20:21
  Speaker 19: Well, but really, but it's it's an arrogance that is
• 20:26
  Speaker 19: driven by this idea that voters are sheeple who just
• 20:30
  Speaker 19: go when they vote for a letter on a piece
• 20:34
  Speaker 19: of paper.
• 20:35
  Speaker 18: In the attitude, hasn't it taken for granted? Taken for
• 20:39
  Speaker 18: granted like something out of a Tracy Lawrence song, cheat
• 20:43
  Speaker 18: it on and pushed around and left alone?
• 20:45
  Speaker 1: Lord knows what they put us through.
• 20:47
  Speaker 18: But a message has been sent, Cassidy Massy Corning, you
• 20:55
  Speaker 18: do what we elected you to do. You do what
• 20:58
  Speaker 18: you said you were going to do, or we'll find
• 21:01
  Speaker 18: somebody else.
• 21:02
  Speaker 1: That is such a.
• 21:05
  Speaker 4: He has said it so perfectly, because you know, I
• 21:08
  Speaker 4: was just reading a piece Apparently Tommy Massey said, oh,
• 21:11
  Speaker 4: I'm down here in Costa Rica with Marjorie Taylor Green again.
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: Marjorie Taylor Green stopped touching her listeners, her voters up
• 21:23
  Speaker 4: there in North Georgiahard listeners in Dalton on w b LJ.
• 21:29
  Speaker 4: You know she lost touch with them. And if you
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: lose touch with your voters, you're going to lose. It
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: doesn't matter whether you're a Democrat or Republican. And I
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: know there are some politicians that like to touch their voters
• 21:42
  Speaker 4: more than others, but the constituent service is still at
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: the end of the day, if you are good with
• 21:49
  Speaker 4: your voters, then Donald Trump or Bill Clinton or Barack
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: Obama himself can't separate you from the voters in your
• 21:57
  Speaker 4: district if you are connected to them.

  Speaker 4: with us before we went to the.
• 28:29
  Speaker 18: News primary season that we're having right now. MAGA is
• 28:36
  Speaker 18: coming into a sense of its own worth and power.
• 28:42
  Speaker 4: But be careful because the commentariat is now going to
• 28:45
  Speaker 4: say that all of these MAGA victories are going to
• 28:48
  Speaker 4: weaken the Republican's chance of holding the majority. This mystical majority.
• 28:56
  Speaker 18: What did we have with that majority?
• 28:59
  Speaker 6: Nothing?
• 29:00
  Speaker 18: Nothing, we had nothing. We cannot get to save ass
• 29:04
  Speaker 18: past with the majority. We could not get Obamacare repealed
• 29:09
  Speaker 18: with the majority. The majority we've had is an absolutely
• 29:12
  Speaker 18: useless show.
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: I hear you.
• 29:15
  Speaker 4: I mean, we're I'm just reading this piece at Daily
• 29:17
  Speaker 4: Signal dot com. One of my co writers out there
• 29:20
  Speaker 4: has written a piece about Reconciliation three point oh, which
• 29:24
  Speaker 4: was apparently the deal that John Thune floated to guys
• 29:28
  Speaker 4: like John Kennedy from Louisiana regarding you know, support reconciliation
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: two point zero and and well you know it's it's warm, lukewarm,
• 29:39
  Speaker 4: you reform uh And then we'll get you know, the
• 29:44
  Speaker 4: real stuff in reconciliation three point oh. And Kennedy has
• 29:47
  Speaker 4: just come out and said, whoever thought that was going
• 29:51
  Speaker 4: to happen is smoking the Devil's let us again because
• 29:54
  Speaker 4: apparently the bait and switch is in full effect.
• 29:59
  Speaker 18: Well, look, you know, voting your conscience, being an independent thinker,
• 30:05
  Speaker 18: that's well and good. Being a constant and persistent obstruction
• 30:11
  Speaker 18: to the will of the American people, and you know,
• 30:15
  Speaker 18: Donald Trump is our representative, He's the majority of the
• 30:18
  Speaker 18: American people's representative. It's not about Trump, It's about the
• 30:23
  Speaker 18: American people. And Cornyn Massy, Cassidy, Murkowski, Collins at all
• 30:31
  Speaker 18: are just persistent obstructionists.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: To our will.
• 30:37
  Speaker 18: That's all they are.
• 30:38
  Speaker 1: And that's the thing.
• 30:39
  Speaker 4: And they when they can't even explain why something that
• 30:43
  Speaker 4: eighty plus percent of the American population supports, like the
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: Save America Act can't get passed, I think you've seen
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: a major problem. I've got amnesty jockeys now all over
• 30:57
  Speaker 4: me saying, Oh, we have to do amnesty, We have
• 30:59
  Speaker 4: to do amnesty. There's nothing we can do but do amnesty.
• 31:03
  Speaker 4: This would be what fourth amnesty? How long are we
• 31:07
  Speaker 4: going to keep doing this with folks who haven't learned
• 31:10
  Speaker 4: how or what the rules in this country are supposedly
• 31:16
  Speaker 4: to protect them. And that's the part that makes me
• 31:20
  Speaker 4: the most frustrated, is that these folks don't know what
• 31:24
  Speaker 4: the laws are and the protections are for their rights,
• 31:28
  Speaker 4: but we want to just give them amnesty. These are
• 31:31
  Speaker 4: the things that I just find that the American population
• 31:34
  Speaker 4: doesn't grasp because guys like John Thune and John Cornyan
• 31:38
  Speaker 4: won't even explain themselves to their voters anymore. And that's
• 31:43
  Speaker 4: the bigger fisher, Doctor clark Well.
• 31:47
  Speaker 18: I spent a lot of time reading hind one quotes
• 31:49
  Speaker 18: over the Weekendoh and politics. When the question is why,
• 31:57
  Speaker 18: the answer is almost always dollar Yeah, and now you
• 32:03
  Speaker 18: just got to figure out where those dollars are coming from.
• 32:06
  Speaker 4: Well, bless her little heart. On her way out of
• 32:09
  Speaker 4: Northwest Georgia's door, Marjorie Taylor Green told us she said
• 32:14
  Speaker 4: her family's construction company can't do its job without the
• 32:18
  Speaker 4: illegal aliens working for it. Huh really, And you know what,
• 32:23
  Speaker 4: the press just avoided that whole question. I haven't heard
• 32:27
  Speaker 4: anyone else bring it up except me. I'll listen to
• 32:29
  Speaker 4: conservative radio hosts called Ken Paxton a serial adulterer, but
• 32:34
  Speaker 4: nobody wants to mention that Marjorie Taylor Green's construction company
• 32:38
  Speaker 4: has apparently been employing illegal aliens for who knows how long,
• 32:42
  Speaker 4: and it seemed to be fine with it.
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: There you go.
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: That's a anyway, sir. It's good to catch and you
• 32:50
  Speaker 4: have a great morning. Continue to have awesomeness washing all
• 32:54
  Speaker 4: around you.
• 32:56
  Speaker 18: I'm waiting for Charlie.
• 32:57
  Speaker 1: I'll be lucking Charlie. Pride month come up. I wanted
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: to bring this up.
• 33:15
  Speaker 4: You know, it's not necessarily something that's a deep, dark
• 33:18
  Speaker 4: conversation point. But then again, you know, you guys surprise
• 33:21
  Speaker 4: me sometimes the things that you want to get into.
• 33:24
  Speaker 4: And I'll believe me, eyes open, head on a swivel, quietly. Yesterday,
• 33:29
  Speaker 4: NASA laid out its plans for its Moon base. And
• 33:37
  Speaker 4: I know all the folks who laughed when Space Force
• 33:40
  Speaker 4: was announced, except for this program who went right to
• 33:44
  Speaker 4: Jack Kennedy's speech at Rice University and pointed out that
• 33:49
  Speaker 4: he probably would have expected Space Force to have been
• 33:52
  Speaker 4: done before his terms in office were done. Of course,
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: he was done before his terms in office were done.
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: NASA outlining its first phase of Moon base plans, and
• 34:06
  Speaker 4: of course the press. It's all about oh ik at
• 34:09
  Speaker 4: all these companies that are building instead of the federal
• 34:12
  Speaker 4: government building this stuff. Blue Origin is going to provide
• 34:18
  Speaker 4: landers and moon buggies for the Lunar Service transit. The spot,
• 34:25
  Speaker 4: according to what the maps looked like to me, is
• 34:28
  Speaker 4: near the south pole of the Moon. There'll be other
• 34:33
  Speaker 4: lunar terrain vehicles built by Astro Lab and Lunar Outpost.
• 34:38
  Speaker 4: Is that like a is that a big box store?
• 34:41
  Speaker 4: I can just see the shopping mall, you know where
• 34:44
  Speaker 4: some grocery store chain used to be. All of a
• 34:46
  Speaker 4: sudden coming soon, Lunar Outpost discounts on all your lunar outerwear,
• 34:53
  Speaker 4: Tommy Bahama and what's the other one, the Big Ridge?
• 34:58
  Speaker 4: Now Big Ridge is my Buddies gun shop. Firefly Aerospace
• 35:09
  Speaker 4: is also contracted to set the base up with drones.
• 35:16
  Speaker 4: Imagine they'll be doing a lot of the outdoor activities,
• 35:20
  Speaker 4: a lot a lot of the external lifting and toting
• 35:24
  Speaker 4: there on the Moon. This is all supposed to be
• 35:29
  Speaker 4: delivered FedEx ups Amazon, I mean, Bezos' Blue Origin is
• 35:37
  Speaker 4: part of it.
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: Can we get Amazon? Can you imagine?
• 35:40
  Speaker 4: You know we already have SpaceX, the top of the
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: SpaceX starship launch vehicle, an Amazon delivery truck, those new
• 35:52
  Speaker 4: electric ones that look like something from a matchbox set
• 35:56
  Speaker 4: or a Lego set. I think those the new Amazon
• 36:01
  Speaker 4: delivery trucks, the all electric ones. I actually think they
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: were designed so that they would look not too unusual
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: in Lego style. You just put PLoP one of those
• 36:13
  Speaker 4: Amazon delivery trucks on top of SpaceX starship and launch
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: it to the Moon. Guy gets out there, spacesuite, brown spacesuit.
• 36:26
  Speaker 4: Just no, that's ups dropping boxes off, leaving boxes there,
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: flying back. That's what's supposed to happen, is there's going
• 36:37
  Speaker 4: to be packages set up there near the south pole
• 36:40
  Speaker 4: of the Moon, and then astronauts are supposed to arrive
• 36:45
  Speaker 4: early twenty twenty eight on the next Artemis mission there
• 36:52
  Speaker 4: to start building the space station on the Moon.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: And you sit here May twenty seventh, twenty twenty.
• 37:01
  Speaker 4: Six, and say, yeah, all right, Joe Ah, I'll bet.
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: You a dollar to a donut.
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: That before President Trump leaves office on January twentieth, twenty
• 37:15
  Speaker 4: twenty nine, there's substantial construction to this facility that it's
• 37:24
  Speaker 4: not just a pile of boxes on the lunar surface.
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: It's just yeah, I.
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: Don't wager cash. We're not part of draft kings or
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: even poly market. But I bet you there is somebody
• 37:39
  Speaker 4: on poly market right now taking the over under. Now
• 37:43
  Speaker 4: are they in NASA? Are these NASA employees taking wagers
• 37:47
  Speaker 4: and running odds on polymarket?
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: See?
• 37:50
  Speaker 4: The President's got a problem with that too, and he
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: wants these folks to start signing non disclosure agreements.
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: I don't. Most of us have one. With our employers.

  Speaker 24: problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 24: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 24: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 24: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.

• 38:20
  Speaker 24: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.

  Speaker 3: Talk radio just the way your mother used to make it.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: First thing today by Joe Thomas on the talk media netword.
• 44:22
  Speaker 4: Thank you for letting us be of service to you
• 44:28
  Speaker 4: four three four eight A two four two one seven.
• 44:32
  Speaker 4: Com amend of that brother on a Ted Steve Morning.
• 44:38
  Speaker 4: I want to read two text messages that come into
• 44:41
  Speaker 4: four three four eight A two four two one seven.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: This one let's start with the positive one, and they're
• 44:51
  Speaker 4: both positive. I think the second one Brenda in Virginia
• 44:55
  Speaker 4: Beach listening to us on w t A r and
• 44:58
  Speaker 4: down there, says Joe, doctor Clark nailed it. The only
• 45:01
  Speaker 4: way the RNC gets any more of my money again
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: is when I donate directly to a candidate and they
• 45:08
  Speaker 4: process the payment. As far as I'm concerned, they blew it.
• 45:11
  Speaker 4: Not only would the redistricting fiasco, but the Virginia governor's race.
• 45:15
  Speaker 4: Winson may not have been the best candidate, but holy cow,
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: look what we have now. And Brenda, you and so
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: many other Republicans feel that way. However, Dan writes into
• 45:29
  Speaker 4: the same text message hotline, Joe, you're doing the Democrats
• 45:33
  Speaker 4: work for them. This is exactly what the Democrats use
• 45:38
  Speaker 4: the media to do so. Division President Trump is destroying
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: the Republican Party for his own ego, Dan and I
• 45:52
  Speaker 4: appreciate that. See, to me, the funny thing is is
• 45:55
  Speaker 4: that's exactly what people, especially the quote conservatives that get
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: wheeled out, the Rick Wilson's and all these other folks
• 46:07
  Speaker 4: that become part of the commentariat, the darlings of MS
• 46:11
  Speaker 4: NOW and CNBC and the view the quote conservatives that
• 46:16
  Speaker 4: they'll pull in the John Kaseys. I noticed he's resurfaced
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: in i Ohio politics because what is the Republican Party
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: of those folks. It's it's pro business, which is not
• 46:35
  Speaker 4: a bad thing until you ask, okay, what does that mean?
• 46:40
  Speaker 4: This means cronyism in their mind. See, they don't grasp
• 46:45
  Speaker 4: that free markets. See you don't get campaign contributions for
• 46:50
  Speaker 4: free markets.
• 46:51
  Speaker 1: You don't. You just don't. I wish people would.
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: Companies don't give big pack dollars to re election campaigns
• 47:04
  Speaker 4: for a politician who says, we're going to deregulate everything
• 47:08
  Speaker 4: and we're going to you know, be there to encourage
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: free market capitalism across the board, and we want more
• 47:17
  Speaker 4: competition amongst all these industries. Companies aren't going to give
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: you money for saying that, but that's what we need.
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: That's honest, speaking of our dear friend. You know, we're
• 47:34
  Speaker 4: getting ready to pack the gear up into the Virginia
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: Institute for Public Policy Remote studios and take it on
• 47:43
  Speaker 4: the road, brought to you by the Heritage Foundation. Getting
• 47:46
  Speaker 4: ready and looking forward to some great broadcasts where we
• 47:50
  Speaker 4: go where the stories are here on first thing today
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: and at first we are going to go to kick
• 47:57
  Speaker 4: off the next two hundred and fifty years of life,
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: liberty and the pursuit of happiness. We will enjoy our
• 48:05
  Speaker 4: celebration of the previous two hundred and fifty and then
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: get started on the next two fifty at Freedom Fest
• 48:11
  Speaker 4: July eighth in Las Vegas at Caesar's Palace. Mark Skousen,
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: the man who had this crazy idea of bringing freethinkers
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: and liberty minded people together.
• 48:23
  Speaker 1: How many years ago? Mark five? Six years ago? Because
• 48:26
  Speaker 1: you're only like twenty five right.
• 48:30
  Speaker 26: Well, listen, we're celebrating our twentieth anniversary next year. So
• 48:35
  Speaker 26: we got started in two thousand and seven. We actually
• 48:38
  Speaker 26: had it on July fourth, two thousand and seven, with
• 48:41
  Speaker 26: some a lot of fireworks, and we had over one
• 48:44
  Speaker 26: thousand people the very first time, and we seem to
• 48:47
  Speaker 26: have grown and we've been going now for almost twenty years,
• 48:51
  Speaker 26: so we're very excited about this year. It's actually at
• 48:56
  Speaker 26: Caesar's Convention. It's at Caesar's Forum Conference Center, which is
• 49:02
  Speaker 26: across the street from Caesar's Palace. So Caesars Palace is
• 49:07
  Speaker 26: one of our hotels where we have a room block,
• 49:10
  Speaker 26: but we also have Hare's and left As or Links
• 49:16
  Speaker 26: or the two other hotels that you can sign up
• 49:19
  Speaker 26: and get a discount and stuff.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: And by the way, that discount comes to you if
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: you use the code first Thing one hundred at freedomfest

  Speaker 4: Fest getting ready to pack up in July after the
• 49:33
  Speaker 4: Independence Day celebration. Let me see who's on the line
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: with this first thing this morning with Joe.
• 49:38
  Speaker 1: Who's this.
• 49:40
  Speaker 12: Good morning Joe, It's Joel.
• 49:42
  Speaker 1: Good morning, Joel. What's going on for you this Wednesday morning?
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: Ted sdeam morning Teds to you. That's right.
• 49:48
  Speaker 12: Well, everybody worries about symbolism, and symbolism's important. But the
• 49:56
  Speaker 12: issue with Trump, Donald Trump is he's brought back how
• 50:01
  Speaker 12: men can act like men. He's brought people within his
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: cabinet who are who are men who aren't who aren't
• 50:08
  Speaker 12: afraid to be themselves.
• 50:10
  Speaker 1: And he's brought men, men, men, men, men, men, men.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, well, you know, but also women can be women.
• 50:18
  Speaker 12: He's brought back and he's brought that's my next thing.
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: And he's brought back women as far as his wife
• 50:26
  Speaker 12: and other women who are leaders within the UH party
• 50:32
  Speaker 12: or are or are who or who are conservative and
• 50:36
  Speaker 12: who act like normal people. Now you have the other side.
• 50:40
  Speaker 12: You have the Democrats who use symbolism is UH bandwagoning
• 50:46
  Speaker 12: to discredit to UH lie and and and Ted Cruz
• 50:53
  Speaker 12: had a good uhumation the other day. He said, who
• 50:57
  Speaker 12: started the KKK, who started UH? Who started Jim Crow?
• 51:04
  Speaker 12: Who started voter suppression? Yep, uh, I mean all those things.
• 51:10
  Speaker 12: And and the thing is as you said, Joe, that
• 51:15
  Speaker 12: the the war has never ended, the split has never ended.
• 51:19
  Speaker 1: But the civil war never really went on, right.
• 51:23
  Speaker 12: And the veil of the veil of dust and fog
• 51:27
  Speaker 12: hopefully is being cleared by a lot of those people
• 51:30
  Speaker 12: who who who support the party that was against their
• 51:34
  Speaker 12: own race. And you know, just a Republicans.
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: You guy had finished up and and.
• 51:41
  Speaker 12: Martin Luther King Jr. Was a Republican and and and a.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: Gun hunter well and and just there's an important point,
• 51:49
  Speaker 4: because the keyboard warriors parted and they lift, and I
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: want to make it clear that when we say the
• 51:55
  Speaker 4: Civil War never ended, that's a unique thought for this program,
• 51:59
  Speaker 4: from this program that we thought, you know, when everyone
• 52:02
  Speaker 4: walked away from Appomattics, that it was done. We're watching
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: the same fight over the same issue, only this case
• 52:11
  Speaker 4: the brown people are just slightly less brown. But it's
• 52:14
  Speaker 4: a permanent underclass of servants that will, you know, clean
• 52:18
  Speaker 4: up after us in the cafe, stock the shelves in
• 52:22

• 52:26
  Speaker 1: Mean to take.
• 52:28
  Speaker 4: Jake Frye in Minneapolis gave exactly that voice. He said
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: those exact words that we were fighting for this underclass
• 52:37
  Speaker 4: of underpaid Marjorie Taylor Green and her construction workers that
• 52:41
  Speaker 4: work for substandard wages and are grateful for it because
• 52:46
  Speaker 4: it's more money than they make back in the country
• 52:50
  Speaker 4: that they fled from.
• 52:51
  Speaker 21: Crime across the country is at an all time high.
• 52:54
  Speaker 21: It feels like even a family road trip is taking
