• 0:34
  Speaker 3: service to you.
• 0:36
  Speaker 8: I want to be Joe.
• 0:40
  Speaker 3: On the radio program that tells you what went on
• 0:42
  Speaker 3: last night, and we'll tell you our analysis of one
• 0:46
  Speaker 3: went on last night. But I also want to hear
• 0:48
  Speaker 3: how it's impacting you where you are at four three
• 0:51
  Speaker 3: four eight eight two four two one seven, Because there
• 0:56
  Speaker 3: are so many at easton currents that im hacked us.
• 1:00
  Speaker 3: And some of what we've spent some time on this
• 1:03
  Speaker 3: morning have been the redistricting attempts in some places where
• 1:07
  Speaker 3: the Democrats are hell bent on defending constitutions, like in
• 1:11
  Speaker 3: Florida or in Virginia, where they feel like we can
• 1:16
  Speaker 3: suspend them because Trump. We want to suspend the constitution
• 1:20
  Speaker 3: because Trump. You can't have it both ways either, the
• 1:26
  Speaker 3: constitution any state or federal constitution is sacrosanct, or it
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: doesn't exist. You just can't have it, you know, both ways.
• 1:46
  Speaker 3: But they're trying to because Trump, because Trump has become
• 1:50
  Speaker 3: such an existential threat to them. And you wonder why
• 1:54
  Speaker 3: with three years left of the Trump administration, they need
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: so urgently to get a majority to begin impeachment proceedings
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: on any number of things. And this is the interesting part,
• 2:05
  Speaker 3: and I told you this before the State of the
• 2:06
  Speaker 3: Union address. We will know what the midterms will be
• 2:11
  Speaker 3: about based on Abigail Spanberger's speech. And what the midterms
• 2:20
  Speaker 3: will be about is Donald Trump enriching himself through his office.
• 2:29
  Speaker 3: She said it right there in her speech, right at
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: the end. She said that he is enriching himself while
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: doing all these things. That's what they're going to run on.
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: They're going to run on you can't afford things, and
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Donald Trump is making himself. They've circled all the way back,
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: They've tried every single other thing. They're back to the
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: emolument's clause. They're back to saying Donald Trump is just
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: doing this because he wants money. Well, break all that
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: down for you this morning, is we get into it.
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: But First things first, we must tell you what went on.
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: How else can we discuss it fairly. The Trump administration's
• 3:08
  Speaker 3: latest policy of deporting immigrants to third countries which they
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: have no ties but they are not seeking asylum from
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: either has been declared unlawful again. And the novelty of
• 3:20
  Speaker 3: this ruling is it's declared unlawful again by the same
• 3:25
  Speaker 3: US District judge in Massachusetts, Brian Murphy, who said migrants
• 3:29
  Speaker 3: challenging the Department of Homeland securities policy have the right
• 3:33
  Speaker 3: to quote meaningful notice this time as they continue their lawfare.
• 3:40
  Speaker 3: Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas said that the President wants
• 3:45
  Speaker 3: a clean, simple extension of section seven oh two of
• 3:49
  Speaker 3: the FAISA Act. President Trump has requested a simple, clean extension,
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: and I support him in this vital national security decision.
• 4:00
  Speaker 3: Section seven oh two allows four US intelligence agencies to
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: collect communications of non Americans abroad, but has been expanded
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: in certain cases to include Americans on those communications. That
• 4:16
  Speaker 3: is how they became the tool in which the Russia
• 4:20
  Speaker 3: colusjah hoax was started in Geneva. Steve Witkoff and abbass
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Ara Rachi from Iran are talking again today to come
• 4:35
  Speaker 3: up with a way to regulate Iran's nuclear proliferation. The
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: Cuban government claims that they killed four Cuban nationals who
• 4:51
  Speaker 3: had sailed from Miami on a powerboat on a speedboat
• 4:57
  Speaker 3: with six others who are injured or approaching the Cuban
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: coast with a boat loaded with weapons. They say that
• 5:05
  Speaker 3: the other six are being treated in Cuba's medical facilities.
• 5:10
  Speaker 3: The Justice Department said it is looking into whether it
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: improperly improperly withheld documents from the Jeffrey Epstein data dump,
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: after several press organizations noted to the FBI that there
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: were inconsistencies and that some documents seem to be lacking
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: the contextual documents that they were built off of. The
• 5:34
  Speaker 3: White House is preparing to launch a new anti fraud
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: task force aimed at cracking down on the kind of
• 5:40
  Speaker 3: fraud seen in Minneapolis. JD. Vance Will headed up, and
• 5:46
  Speaker 3: he began his work by announcing that they were temporarily
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: suspending medicaid support to Minnesota. And those are some of
• 5:56

  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,
• 8:37
  Speaker 10: has antioxidant properties, and research suggests that kurcumin can prevent

  Speaker 10: cancer or at least slow the spread of cancer, and

  Speaker 11: Hiverybody, I'm Jack and it's always a boy. Growing up
• 10:01
  Speaker 11: on a farm in Tennessee, I've been fascinated with animals.
• 10:04
  Speaker 11: I'm not only in awe of their beauty and kindness,
• 10:06
  Speaker 11: but also their tireless work ethic. Just look at the

• 10:15

• 10:26
  Speaker 11: best friends, the canines. We know dogs are wonderful pets
• 10:29
  Speaker 11: at home, but because of their acute senses, they also

• 13:12
  Speaker 2: Hundred to do list. Putting the radio on is the
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: first thing today.
• 13:16
  Speaker 6: You're waiting as long as oppidating of them back. I'm
• 13:18
  Speaker 6: on the brag and dopulating. I know that you've got
• 13:21
  Speaker 6: a jobs, Janey, but your husband's are problems complicating. So
• 13:24
  Speaker 6: the FCC won't tet me be tv P, don't tet me.
• 13:28
  Speaker 6: See it's fry of sending me on TIMCB. But it
• 13:31
  Speaker 6: feels so.
• 13:31
  Speaker 3: Empty to that, So the FCC hold it. Joe's going
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: to say something about the FCC again. Uh, you know,
• 13:40
  Speaker 3: And and I understand, and I get the fact that
• 13:46
  Speaker 3: there are people and and and Derek Carr, the chairman
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: of the FCC may just be really bad at play acting.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: But the FCC is going after and now sports leagues
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: for making it harder to find them. And I understand
• 14:13
  Speaker 3: the premise behind what the FCC wants to look into,
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: because all of a sudden, your favorite sports team is missing.
• 14:22
  Speaker 3: You can't find it on broadcast television because they've signed
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: a deal with some cable company that you have to
• 14:28
  Speaker 3: pay for the cable, and then you have to pay
• 14:31
  Speaker 3: extra for the app that gets the sports team, and
• 14:34
  Speaker 3: then you have to pay per game, and you have
• 14:37
  Speaker 3: to have the package that gets the And what the
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: FCC hasn't quite noticed yet, and maybe they should, because
• 14:49
  Speaker 3: they seem to be hell bent on going after people
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: who are simply making business decisions, is that this is
• 14:58
  Speaker 3: the peril of the people do it that if a
• 15:08
  Speaker 3: team wants to be less easily found, they will make
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: it harder for you to enjoy their games, if it's
• 15:18
  Speaker 3: the New York Yankees, or there's a go watch it
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: somewhere else. And I understand that I have a conflict
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: of interest in this because radio broadcast rights are generally
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: not expensive and certainly not as expensive as television broadcast rights,
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: and as they do this more and more, the number
• 15:44
  Speaker 3: of people who listen to the Super Bowl on the
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: radio or listen to the Rose Bowl on the radio
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: go up. And so the FCC coming in and saying
• 16:06
  Speaker 3: we are going to investigate these sports leagues and their
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: deals with cable operators to create pay per view situations
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: is dancing around the right issue in the wrong way.
• 16:25
  Speaker 3: What you need to be doing is looking into why
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: the FCC thinks it has any say in this. This
• 16:33
  Speaker 3: is another example of the perversion of the Commerce Clause,
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: which simply was put in the Constitution to make sure
• 16:45
  Speaker 3: that one state wasn't taxing tariffing goods from another state
• 16:52
  Speaker 3: so that within the United States things could move from
• 16:55
  Speaker 3: state to state without extra encumbrance. Is making it more
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: expensive for North Carolina furniture to be sold in Maryland
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: because it has to pay the tariff to pass through Virginia.
• 17:20
  Speaker 3: But it's been perverted ever since reconstruction. Really, it has
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: been perverted to try to create a scenario where the
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: government can claim regulatory power over just about anything you do.
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: And if my favorite sports team wants to make it
• 17:40
  Speaker 3: harder for me to watch the game, that's on them,
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: And what's happening in the world of the marketplace is
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: advertisers are now cutting back on their money. Look at
• 17:52
  Speaker 3: all the layoffs at all the sports networks. Look at
• 17:56
  Speaker 3: the fact that all the sports networks had to merge
• 17:59
  Speaker 3: into one if Fox, Sports, ESPN, and it was the
• 18:05
  Speaker 3: Westwood One, all merging together to create one sports network.
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: FCC didn't look into that. That seems like a steward
• 18:16
  Speaker 3: handy trust kind of deal, But they did it because
• 18:19
  Speaker 3: advertisers were no longer interested in buying a commercial on
• 18:27
  Speaker 3: a broadcast whose audience was restricted by all these gatekeepers
• 18:33
  Speaker 3: that were getting in the way of them. And yes,
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: I understand a little bit about this when it comes
• 18:38
  Speaker 3: to connecting my advertisers to you. The part I'm no
• 18:43
  Speaker 3: good at is going out and finding those advertisers so
• 18:46
  Speaker 3: I know they're out there because I'll walk into a
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: store and they'll way, Joe, we love your show, we
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: love your station, whatever. But it's meeting them, it's kidding
• 18:54
  Speaker 3: to them. I never learned that. I'm twenty years of
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: making radio and I never bothered to learn sales or marketing.
• 19:05
  Speaker 3: And I tell every kid who comes up to me,
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: what should I do, sir? If I want to get
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: into radio, get a marketing degree, and then you'll be
• 19:15
  Speaker 3: able to survive in this. And that's not craven. I'm
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: not saying. Our job is to create interesting programming. Guess what,
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: it's the same job that a cable network has. But
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: what they're doing is they're cutting off their nose to
• 19:34
  Speaker 3: spite their face. They're deciding, you know what, since the
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: advertisers are cutting back on the money they spend. And
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: you'll hear stories of oh, it's multimillion dollars for the
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: Super Bowl. But what you don't hear is all those
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: advertisers on the Super Bowl. That's the only ad they
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: run all year. They're not advertising on all the NFL games.
• 19:56
  Speaker 3: They're just buying in for one super Bowl hit. And
• 20:00
  Speaker 3: that's what's hurting these sports leagues. And that's what's hurting
• 20:02
  Speaker 3: these sports broadcasts. And the FCC doesn't need to figure
• 20:06
  Speaker 3: out a way to make it stop. The market will
• 20:10
  Speaker 3: make it stop because it's costing these companies more and
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: more money to do less and less. I forget the
• 20:19
  Speaker 3: ESPN anchor said after the Super Bowl, he's got credentials
• 20:25
  Speaker 3: to be on the sideline of the next Super Bowl.
• 20:28
  Speaker 3: Whatever the twenty sixty one and he's going to live
• 20:34
  Speaker 3: stream play by play over is app because he read
• 20:38
  Speaker 3: the contract. Yet his lawyer look at the contract. Nothing
• 20:41
  Speaker 3: prohibits him from from the sideline sitting there saying, all right,
• 20:45

• 20:57
  Speaker 3: for it. But if he was pat forty right, that
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: was it is the one that did it. The marketplace
• 21:03

• 21:09
  Speaker 3: let it and don't fall prey to the same thing
• 21:12
  Speaker 3: the Marxists do, which is we have to fix this now.

• 24:31
  Speaker 10: The Mayo Clinic found that kurcumin can decrease swelling and inflammation,

  Speaker 3: The Cubans aren't used to boats floating up to their
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: shores with Cuban nationals in them. It's usually the other
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: way around. But this, this story continues to drive folks
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: text messages to four three four eight eight two four
• 28:53
  Speaker 3: two one seven Joe. Some people are spinning this that
• 28:57
  Speaker 3: these people were part of the say kind of force
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: that grabbed Meduro. Have you heard that? Well, I have
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: heard that. People are saying it. I wouldn't hang out
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: with these people, but yeah, there are people out there
• 29:11
  Speaker 3: saying this is Cuba rebuffing Trump's attempt to have regime
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: change in Havana. I believe, and I am not in
• 29:24
  Speaker 3: on the military. I didn't get on the Signal app
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: to get into the planning operations. Oh come on, if
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: you can't have a sense of humor about it, you can't.
• 29:35
  Speaker 3: You're listening to the wrong radio program. So as I
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: was saying, I don't know about the planning of Nicholas
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Meduro's capture, but I imagine it was more than six
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: guys in a speedboat. I'm just saying. I wasn't Pete
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: Hegsith didn't invite me to the Signal app chat, so
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: I don't know for sure, but I get the impression
• 30:01
  Speaker 3: from the stories that are told it was a whole
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: lot more than just six guys in a boat. And
• 30:08
  Speaker 3: from what I understand different stories in different places, it
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: was a rocket launcher and some machine guns and stuff
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: like that. But you know, here's the thing, these were,
• 30:19
  Speaker 3: these were non citizens. These guys were self deporting. What
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: you don't want me to say it that way. These
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: were six These were ten Cuban nationals, non citizens of
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: the United States. They were living in the United States,
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: probably through the Biden Autopen app h this is Joe Biden.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: I want you to use my autopen to fill out
• 30:49
  Speaker 3: your ASYL requests and you'll rub my legs. So these
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: non US citizens get a speedboat loaded up with guns,
• 31:04
  Speaker 3: not sure if there was any money warrent and go
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: sailing back home for what end. Apparently the Cubans didn't
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: like it, because one of the stories I'm reading is
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: that the guys in the boat started firing on the
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: Cuban coast Guard. That didn't sit well with the Cuban
• 31:24
  Speaker 3: Coast Guard and sank. The boat. Have six people, and
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: I don't know who is made out worse, the four
• 31:32
  Speaker 3: that were killed in the attack or the six that
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: have to suffer Cuban healthcare. But be that as it may.
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: They are in the capable hands of El Young Gonzales
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: at al now for their attempt. But this was not
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: These were not six Navy seals trying to go get
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: whoever's in charge in the field. Del Castro room at
• 32:02
  Speaker 3: the Havannah Hilton. But I like the fact that some
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: people are saying, oh, look, Castro drove back to Usn't no,
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: this was not that maybe they just didn't want them back.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: I mean, remember these guys, some of these folks were
• 32:20
  Speaker 3: on Flotilla's Fidel and Raoul. They were like, get these
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: guys out of here. Earlier in the program, Doctor Clark
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: mentioned a CNN poll and there was a CNN story
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: I wanted to share because I didn't know about this.
• 32:41
  Speaker 3: My smartphone was full of videos that people have been
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: posting in the last twelve hours of apparently Matthew McConaughey
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: refusing to play the political game of you know, my
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: team is better than your team with Joy Behar and
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: the rest of the cast and crew of The View,
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: and I looked at him, I said, really, I am
• 33:08
  Speaker 3: juge you and I kind of like Matthew McConaughey, and
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I don't he's another actor. I don't need to hear
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: about your politics. Just keep saying all right, all right,
• 33:17
  Speaker 3: all right. I mean Interstellar is just in a I
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: know he didn't write Interstellar, whoever wrote Interstellar, It's just
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: awesome storyteller. We were talking yesterday with Michael Harrison about
• 33:34
  Speaker 3: Twilight Zone esque twists at the end. If you've never
• 33:37
  Speaker 3: seen Interstellar, the twist at the end is amazing and
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: McConaughey is great in it, and I like him as
• 33:49
  Speaker 3: a performer, so I know, I know he says things
• 33:52
  Speaker 3: that are conservative ish, but every time he does, I say, please,
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: I don't need even the ones who agree with me politically,
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: I don't need to know about it. Just keep doing
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: telling good stories into the world, please. So I went
• 34:14
  Speaker 3: and I looked in this Matthew McConaughey thing on the
• 34:16
  Speaker 3: view happened like six weeks ago. I'm like, well, I'm
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: not going to get into that. That's not news. But
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: apparently what is news is a couple of very famous
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: trees falling on the cable News woods and nobody was
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: there to see it. So apparently this weekend there was
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: a town hall that the cable News network spent quite
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: a bit of time promoting that they were going to
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: have a town hall with Timothy Timothy Shumett and Matthew McConaughey.
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: I don't, for the life of me, know what the
• 34:50
  Speaker 3: town hall was going to be about. Could it be
• 34:54
  Speaker 3: about the Oscars. I don't know there was going to
• 34:56
  Speaker 3: be a town hall broadcast. Town Hall in f is
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: a political discussion, but it doesn't have to be. And
• 35:08
  Speaker 3: according to Nielsen, only four hundred and fifty three thousand
• 35:14
  Speaker 3: Americans watched it. Fifty seven thousand of them were between
• 35:20
  Speaker 3: the ages of twenty five and fifty four, which is
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: the quote key demographic. Fox News had one point two
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: million viewers in the same time slot on Saturday, three
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: hundred times that audience. So when doctor Clark brings up
• 35:51
  Speaker 3: this CNN poll on the State of the Union address,
• 35:57
  Speaker 3: I take it with a grain of salt. Sixty four
• 36:00
  Speaker 3: sent approval of State of the Union in a CNN poll,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: which means of the four hundred people that were watching CNN,
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: you know, twenty four two hundred and forty of them
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: liked it. But this is what happens. This is what
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: I was talking about with the FCC going after these
• 36:25
  Speaker 3: sports broadcast operations. Let them fail on their own accord,
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: let them hang themselves on their partisan petard. Not really
• 36:37
  Speaker 3: sure what part of your anatomy or petard is, but
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: it sounds like something I don't want to be hung by.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: I'm sure I'm going to get a text from our
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: research department explaining what your petard is and why you
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: wouldn't want to be hung by it. But until that comes,
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: let these broadcasters drive away their audience. Steve and Colbert
• 37:00
  Speaker 3: wasn't being taken off the air because the FCC said so.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: It was because CBS was hemorrhaging cash to produce his
• 37:09
  Speaker 3: show and not able to make back the cash necessary
• 37:14
  Speaker 3: to sponsor it. That happens radio shows, TV shows go
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: away because it costs more than they can make. Pizzeria
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: is closed because it costs more to make the pizza
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: than they make in revenue. It's the nature of capitalism.
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: It's what they call it, creative destruction. And guess what.
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: Then channels open up on cable systems for I don't know,
• 37:42
  Speaker 3: Newsmax or somebody else, News Nation. Whether you like or
• 37:48
  Speaker 3: dislike them, they're there and they're doing something different, Info Wars,
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: I don't care, whatever it may be. Somewhere somebody will
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: fill that void. But you've got to let the happen.

  Speaker 14: At Hotshot Secret, we share the science behind common diesel
• 38:04
  Speaker 14: problems in their solutions.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: For example, diesel fuel setane levels.
• 38:08
  Speaker 14: In many states, the setane rating and diesel fuel is
• 38:11
  Speaker 14: forty two to forty five. Most diesel engines operate more
• 38:14
  Speaker 14: efficiently with the cetane rating of forty eight to fifty one.
• 38:17
  Speaker 14: Treatment of hot Shot Secret Diesel Extreme will raise your
• 38:20
  Speaker 14: seatane seven points, increase fuel economy, and improve cold starts.
• 38:24
  Speaker 14: Due to a cleaner burn, there are less hydrocarbons in
• 38:27
  Speaker 14: particulate matter in your exhaust. This reduces the blockage of
• 38:30
  Speaker 14: your diesel particulate filter. Using Diesel Extreme generates eighty three
• 38:34
  Speaker 14: percent less DPF regenerations.

• 44:41
  Speaker 3: Bring it up, so Mike rights into JT in the
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Morning Radio at gmail dot com. You really triggered me
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: this morning thinking that for a little while a bunch
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: of members of Congress went to go see Joe Walsh
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: in concert at the National Press Club. Laughed my butt
• 45:01
  Speaker 3: off over the idea of having somebody walk in and
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: find out it's the ex congressman instead, not that his
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: fame and notoriety on YouTube has got anything to do
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: with the fact that people click on his videos thinking
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: it's some new song by the former Eagle, James Gang whatever,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: you know, whatever era of Joe Walsh you munch on there.
• 45:26
  Speaker 3: But yes, hey, let's ditch this Trump speech and go
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: see Joe Walsh. He's at the National Press Club. I
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: tell you you share my low my low estimation of
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: the intellect of some of the folks who we've elected
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: to Congress. I used to think that it would be
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: a really good idea to choose in your community the
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: person you could do without the most. I always thought
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: that was the best way socratically to select representatives in Congress.
• 46:03
  Speaker 3: I teeter on this because sometimes I think Congress should
• 46:06
  Speaker 3: be like jury duty. Your your name gets slightly, you
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: get the open of the envelomer. Oh man, I've been
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: selected for congress duty. Gosh, I'm gonna have to spend
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: the next three months in Washington voting on stuff. Oh god.
• 46:28
  Speaker 3: You see people trying to get out of congressional duty.
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, I can't take time off from my job.
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: I'm a sole proprietor of a business. But the other
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: way is to, you know, have a vote taken on
• 46:45
  Speaker 3: who what member of the community you all could do
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: without the easiest. Oh, I can't vote for Joe. He
• 46:52
  Speaker 3: does the radio show. Bob is the Butcher and how
• 46:55
  Speaker 3: a Thanksgivings coming up? And I need turkey. Uh, you know,
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: Mike's the auto mechanic. What happens if my radiator goes?
• 47:06
  Speaker 3: Leo's not doing anything. He's a personal injury lawyer. Let's
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: send him to Washington.
• 47:12
  Speaker 15: Yeah.
• 47:16
  Speaker 3: We speak satirically about these folks who seek these offices
• 47:21
  Speaker 3: because they beg for the satire. Sometimes it's too easy,
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: but some people, you know, really go there with a
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: sense of purpose, and usually those are the ones who
• 47:33
  Speaker 3: look the most depressed after the first month or two.
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: In Congress, this one you speak about founding fathers quite
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: a bit. My sixth great grandfather was Robert treat Payne. Really.
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: Oh wow, Uh, signer of the Declaration of Independence two
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: hundred and fifty years ago. I've heard of it first
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: and second part of the Continental Congress, Attorney General of
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: mass Chusetts. I mean, these are the people who laid
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: it out in the you know, when there wasn't they
• 48:06
  Speaker 3: we need to fix this. They were inventing it. On
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: the fly as they went along, Last Call, Last Call,
• 48:14
  Speaker 3: As we wind towards the news, Good morning, you're on
• 48:17
  Speaker 3: the air with Joe. Who's this?
• 48:19
  Speaker 12: Yeah, this is Matt.
• 48:20
  Speaker 3: Hey, Matt, how are you doing, my friend?
• 48:22
  Speaker 12: I just wanted to point out when I first moved
• 48:25
  Speaker 12: down here from Vermont, people were asking me, well, why
• 48:29
  Speaker 12: did Vermont send a socialist to Congress? And they said
• 48:33
  Speaker 12: they were following the example of Jim Jefferts. They sent
• 48:36
  Speaker 12: him to Washington and they never saw him again. So
• 48:40
  Speaker 12: they thought, hey, we'll send Bernie down to Washington. We'll
• 48:44
  Speaker 12: never see him again.
• 48:47
  Speaker 3: Was he mayor of Burlington or something like that before that?
• 48:51
  Speaker 12: Well, he had been mayor of Burlington, and then he
• 48:56
  Speaker 12: got elected to Congress. Vermont only has one congressional seat.
• 49:01
  Speaker 12: It has two senators, but only one congressman. Yeah, and
• 49:05
  Speaker 12: it was an eight way race and Bertie got the plurality?
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: Did he beat out none of the above? I just
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: I want to know that Bernie Sanders was a choice
• 49:17
  Speaker 3: of Vermonters over none of the above. There, Well, that's
• 49:22
  Speaker 3: a good stuff.
• 49:23
  Speaker 12: There were some pretty fringe parties in that election.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: Now, is correct me? We were talking about this the
• 49:28
  Speaker 3: other day. Is it New Hampshire or Vermont that has
• 49:33
  Speaker 3: like four hundred members of the State House. That's New Hampshire,
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: New Hampshire. And my point was that you can have
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: big representative bodies and smallish governments. You don't. It's adding
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: more representation, doesn't you know. Cripple a state New Hampshire.
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: I imagine the state troopers get paid and the schools
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: are open on time most days.
• 49:59
  Speaker 12: Oh yeah. But also I mean one of the one
• 50:01
  Speaker 12: of my proudest moments in Vermont history was one year
• 50:05
  Speaker 12: when their budget was running late, and Charlie Palmer, the
• 50:09
  Speaker 12: representative from Pownell, got up in the well of the
• 50:12
  Speaker 12: State House and said, we have to have this budget
• 50:16
  Speaker 12: passed by I think it was like March twenty fourth,
• 50:20
  Speaker 12: because I have four hundred acres of corn to get
• 50:22
  Speaker 12: in and I planned to be doing it.
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: That's that's what That's America. Man, The hell with John Mellencamp.
• 50:30
  Speaker 3: Ain't that America. That's exactly what we were supposed to be.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: I can't stay here too much longer. I have, you know,
• 50:37
  Speaker 3: a price, and all these part timeology to get back to,
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: you know, these part time legislat legislatures are hysterical to
• 50:46
  Speaker 3: me because there these days, half of them are full
• 50:51
  Speaker 3: timers who just go home and spend the next you know,
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: eight months in between the next session campaigning, and so
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: you know, why not, I mean, you're you know, these
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: folks like Louise Lucas, who you know, she has a
• 51:07
  Speaker 3: CBD store that keeps getting busted because they sell stuff
• 51:11
  Speaker 3: beyond CBD that you know, but she's got people running it.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: It's not like she's behind the store front there, she's
• 51:20
  Speaker 3: she's doing politics twelve months out of the year. And
• 51:24
  Speaker 3: and I mean when there ought to be some sort
• 51:26
  Speaker 3: of law that says, once the session you're elected to
• 51:29
  Speaker 3: is done, you have to stop. You're not allowed to
• 51:32
  Speaker 3: talk about this stuff until the group's in session.
• 51:37
  Speaker 12: Well, I've I've always maintained that if somebody is desperately
• 51:45
  Speaker 12: running for president, if they've got that deep burning fire
• 51:50
  Speaker 12: in their gut to be president, they shouldn't be allowed.
• 51:54
  Speaker 3: It's the first warning flag. Don't let them near the
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: white good stuff. My friend. Good to hear from you.
