  Speaker 1: We cut the cost of radio listening. By hell, it
• 0:06
  Speaker 1: didn't cost anything in the first place. So let's say
• 0:08
  Speaker 1: one million dollars. I'm calling first thing today by Joe
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: Thomas on the Tunk Media Network.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Jew words that steal men have a day least for work,
• 0:23
  Speaker 2: when the sun comes up, drops a pet at the school.
• 0:25
  Speaker 3: Then the way Joe has.
• 0:28
  Speaker 4: A dream, do all the treasures, the one that Joe's
• 0:34
  Speaker 4: as smiled he only is.
• 0:38
  Speaker 5: Let it be, Joe, thank you for letting me be
• 0:41
  Speaker 5: of service to you this morning and every morning. All
• 0:46
  Speaker 5: along the Tunk Media Network. Awesome people with awesome programs
• 0:50
  Speaker 5: coming up on the weekend. Some you know, there's Watchdog
• 0:54
  Speaker 5: on Wall Street. Not to blow the own horn of
• 0:57
  Speaker 5: the network, but terrific program Eric Gorants and Eric g
• 1:05
  Speaker 5: Around the House is awesome, America's Family Farmer with Doug Stephen.
• 1:12
  Speaker 5: It's just these are great programs, and of course the
• 1:16
  Speaker 5: Legend the front Lines of Freedom, Denny Gillum and all
• 1:22
  Speaker 5: the folks who work with him, Veterans issues, veterans affairs
• 1:26
  Speaker 5: and that kind of thing. Wherever you may be to
• 1:30
  Speaker 5: find these programs. If they're not on your station, ask
• 1:33
  Speaker 5: them for it. Of course, our Saturday Morning Live Edition,
• 1:37
  Speaker 5: because these folks just insist on doing nutty things on
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: Friday afternoons because they think that nobody's going to be
• 1:45
  Speaker 5: paying attention on Saturday morning. Do they not realize that
• 1:49
  Speaker 5: you and me and everyone else are working six day weeks,
• 1:52
  Speaker 5: whether we have permission to or not. Just in a
• 1:57
  Speaker 5: couple of weeks, the Rogue Farm conferences coming up at
• 2:01
  Speaker 5: Polyface Farm here in central Virginia's in the Shenandoah Valley
• 2:06
  Speaker 5: in a beautiful urbane location known as Swape. I know
• 2:11
  Speaker 5: it might look like Swoop, but it's Swope, and Swape
• 2:15
  Speaker 5: is the home of Polyface Farm, which is home of
• 2:18
  Speaker 5: Joel Salatin, one of the legends in free markets, to
• 2:26
  Speaker 5: the disquiet of many, because he'll be the first one
• 2:30
  Speaker 5: to tell you, why would it profit me to sell
• 2:33
  Speaker 5: something bad to someone that might make them sick? Oh,
• 2:38
  Speaker 5: if you have a big multinational company, you might be
• 2:40
  Speaker 5: able to bury it and hide from the bad pr
• 2:43
  Speaker 5: you'd get. But for the most part, selling something bad
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: to somebody is not a good way to be profitable
• 2:54
  Speaker 5: in a free market. But they have some great ways
• 2:57
  Speaker 5: to circumvent all the government do gooders' regulations. We'll be
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: talking about that. It's fifteenth, fourteenth, fifteenth of August, coming
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: up for a rogue food conference. It's a shame that
• 3:12
  Speaker 5: we live in a world that has to have something
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: like that. Correct. So our first things this morning a
• 3:17
  Speaker 5: story that when you and I were kids certainly would
• 3:20
  Speaker 5: have been front page news, So we're going to put
• 3:22
  Speaker 5: it there. Cuba announced it's opening its economy to free
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: market reforms. Economic changes in Cuba include easing restrictions on
• 3:33
  Speaker 5: land ownership, allowing businesses to import fuel and medications, and
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: authorizing private tourist companies to operate on the island. Come
• 3:44
  Speaker 5: on down and see the world's largest collection of nineteen
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: fifty five fords and see the ads. Now eighteen migrants again,
• 3:55
  Speaker 5: there's that word. Illegals that had broken into a neighboring
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: country have died in the efforts, and thousands more are
• 4:04
  Speaker 5: wandering the streets of their new country, homeless, without any
• 4:09
  Speaker 5: Nichols to rub together or whatever they use in Spain,
• 4:13
  Speaker 5: because the border is not between Mexico and the United States,
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: it was between Morocco, where burned out cars and overturned
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: trash dumpsters are making the news. Queita is where they
• 4:28
  Speaker 5: fled to it's a Spanish territory right next door. President
• 4:33
  Speaker 5: Trump said Thursday a deal has been reached for Hamas
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: to disarm and Israel to withdraw its forces from Gaza.
• 4:42
  Speaker 5: President Trump also said Thursday he may pull Acting Attorney
• 4:46
  Speaker 5: General Todd Blanche's nomination for the full time job to
• 4:51
  Speaker 5: avoid a battle with Senate Republicans on their way out
• 4:54
  Speaker 5: the door over the weaponization of government settlement. We're going
• 4:58
  Speaker 5: to delve into that in a little bit here. Anthropics
• 5:03
  Speaker 5: said its artificial intelligence models also hacked into other organizations
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: during testing runs this week. This after we learned that
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: Open AI's model had hacked into another AI company called
• 5:18
  Speaker 5: Hugging Face. The United States in Iran exchanged missile shots yesterday.
• 5:27
  Speaker 5: Iran's went at places like northern Kuwait, Egyptian port ships,
• 5:35
  Speaker 5: and Saudi Arabia. Pakistani mediators, however, say negotiations are still ongoing. Meanwhile,
• 5:44
  Speaker 5: Saudi Arabia has announced the launch of a multi national
• 5:47
  Speaker 5: defense coalition of forty three countries and the European Union
• 5:54
  Speaker 5: to protect shipping and energy routes in the Red Sea,
• 5:58
  Speaker 5: Gulf of Aden and Bob al Mon Dabs straight. Those
• 6:02
  Speaker 5: are our first things. You may have heard I write
• 6:05
  Speaker 5: for the Daily Signal under their Virginia column. Daily Signal
• 6:10
  Speaker 5: dot com has pages dedicated to the news of California.
• 6:16
  Speaker 5: I just happened to notice the story we brought to
• 6:18
  Speaker 5: you earlier this week or was it late last week,
• 6:22
  Speaker 5: of the cancer outbreak in a tony suburb of Los
• 6:25
  Speaker 5: Angeles has made newsmax. That was kind of neat to
• 6:28
  Speaker 5: see the story grow and get some national attention. California, Texas, Georgia,
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: Sorry Georgia. Larry Sabado says that your Senate seat now
• 6:39
  Speaker 5: is safe Democrat now, whatever that means to you, because
• 6:44
  Speaker 5: John Offisoff has a lot of money. Apparently he's the
• 6:47
  Speaker 5: only Democrat I guess in the case Georgia, but also
• 6:52
  Speaker 5: Ohio and Virginia. My latest column is on the flock
• 6:57
  Speaker 5: cameras that we were just talking about out.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: Let's see if something costs less a lot less, but
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: people are actually happier with it.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: That sounds like something to look into. And that's meta share.
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: Maybe you've heard joining metas share can save you or
• 7:12
  Speaker 2: your family up to five hundred bucks a month, and
• 7:15
  Speaker 2: that's huge, but it's also true people are just happier
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: with it. They love being part of something that reflects
• 7:20
  Speaker 2: and promotes their values.
• 7:22
  Speaker 5: And what they believe in.
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: Meta Share works too.
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: It's been around for thirty years now and members have
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: shared more than seven billion dollars of each other's bills.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: People love having telehealth and a huge nationwide PPO network.
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: So yeah, really, you can save a ton and like
• 7:37
  Speaker 2: it better. Imagine being happy with how you're taking care
• 7:40
  Speaker 2: of your health care, whether you're self employed or part
• 7:42

• 10:08

  Speaker 3: first daid?
• 11:56
  Speaker 7: Sure?

  Speaker 5: I have a cramp. I can probably hit the green
• 12:18
  Speaker 5: from here? Probably? Can I get a mulligan ready to go?
• 12:27
  Speaker 18: Hey?
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: Are you sure you're okay to drive?
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 12:30
  Speaker 5: I'm pretty sober. Yeah, I'm probably okay.
• 12:35
  Speaker 14: Probably okay isn't okay, especially when it comes to drinking
• 12:39
  Speaker 14: and driving. If you're drinking, call a cab, a car,
• 12:42
  Speaker 14: or a friend. Buzz driving is drunk driving. A message
• 12:45
  Speaker 14: brought to you by NITSA and AD Council.

  Speaker 3: You know the legal drinking age is twenty one. You
• 12:50
  Speaker 3: may also know this law protects teens. Find out more

• 12:56
  Speaker 3: Don't Serve Teens program and the Federal Trade Commission.
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: On a need to know basis, because you need to
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: know the first thing today.
• 13:20
  Speaker 6: Dump Trump.
• 13:21
  Speaker 4: He's in the head.
• 13:26
  Speaker 14: He's dump, he's romp, He's Trump with's every thread.
• 13:35
  Speaker 13: Mcrats say, standing up the swamp, bother trowling down the day.
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: Oh Trump derangement syndrome on March one, eight billion. And
• 13:47
  Speaker 5: I told you we'd spend a little time chewing on this,
• 13:51
  Speaker 5: chopping it up into easily digestible gummies. So John Cornyn
• 13:57
  Speaker 5: butt hurt over not being invited back to Durrell to
• 14:02
  Speaker 5: play golf. Mel Tillis, I mean Tom tillis also leading
• 14:11
  Speaker 5: the charge to oppose Todd Blanche's nomination for Attorney General
• 14:16
  Speaker 5: over the fact that he would be the guy in
• 14:19
  Speaker 5: charge of the anti weaponization of government one point eight
• 14:23
  Speaker 5: billion dollar settlement. Democrats are unified in their opposition. Some
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: Republicans like Cornyn and Tillis don't like it because the
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: sweeping language, they say, shields Donald Trump and his family
• 14:42
  Speaker 5: and the Trump Organization from past and ongoing tax examinations
• 14:48
  Speaker 5: across multiple agencies. So the question is did the Weaponization
• 14:56
  Speaker 5: of Government fund get written to benefit Donald Trump? They
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: ought to know they work with Nancy Pelosi. I mean,
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: if you want a group of people to know what
• 15:06
  Speaker 5: it looks like when you write law to benefit yourself,
• 15:09
  Speaker 5: it should be members of the US House and Senate.
• 15:17
  Speaker 5: These same senators say that the language and the anti
• 15:21
  Speaker 5: weaponization deal shields President Trump and his family from investigations
• 15:30
  Speaker 5: into multi billion dollar distributions of funds and would also
• 15:44
  Speaker 5: use the fund as money laundering and their accusation to
• 15:49
  Speaker 5: the Trump organization. Now, is that what the Anti Weaponization
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: of Government fund was or is this just their interpretation
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: of some of the language, Because I see it as
• 16:00
  Speaker 5: a way to say listen. And one of my problems
• 16:06
  Speaker 5: with it is the fact that we have so normalized
• 16:13
  Speaker 5: the idea that the government can be weaponized against you
• 16:18
  Speaker 5: that we have to have a fund to settle claims
• 16:21
  Speaker 5: against it. But we just went through three hours of
• 16:27
  Speaker 5: no comment Fifth Amendment invocations over the COVID lockdowns, where
• 16:36
  Speaker 5: every single living American could probably claim that their lives
• 16:40
  Speaker 5: were substantively damaged by government, by the government's inaction, by
• 16:47
  Speaker 5: the government's complacency with the COVID development. I mean, you
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: name it. And this is just another miss stake at reparations,
• 17:02
  Speaker 5: which although I agree with the premise of it. You're
• 17:07
  Speaker 5: the target of a government witch hunt, you should be
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: able to be made whole. But if you don't know
• 17:15
  Speaker 5: me as well as some do, and there are longtime
• 17:19
  Speaker 5: folks people have been listening to me go on about
• 17:22
  Speaker 5: this stuff for twenty years. I don't sit quietly when
• 17:29
  Speaker 5: new laws are written where old laws should suffice. Great
• 17:37
  Speaker 5: example is Virginia, our home flagship state, has a newly
• 17:43
  Speaker 5: minted by newly, I mean it was two or three
• 17:47
  Speaker 5: years law prohibiting the use of cell phones in your
• 17:56
  Speaker 5: car unless it's hands free. So if a police officer
• 18:02
  Speaker 5: sees you with a phone in your hand, they can
• 18:06
  Speaker 5: pull you over simply for that. And I said, pardon me,
• 18:17
  Speaker 5: isn't distracted driving already a crime?
• 18:20
  Speaker 1: Well, yes it is.
• 18:22
  Speaker 5: So if you pulled me over for holding my cell phone?
• 18:29
  Speaker 5: Am I not also violating the distracted driving law? WHOA, Yeah,
• 18:37
  Speaker 5: so it's conceivable I could get charged with that as well.
• 18:41
  Speaker 5: It's kind of likely charge all that. See, I don't
• 18:46
  Speaker 5: play ball on that tarmac. Years ago, they wanted to
• 18:57
  Speaker 5: ban rental housing in the neighborhood where I was renting home.
• 19:07
  Speaker 5: Not that I owned a property that I was renting.
• 19:10
  Speaker 5: I was the renter. So I felt it was my
• 19:14
  Speaker 5: obligation to go speak up on behalf of the renters
• 19:18
  Speaker 5: in this neighborhood because a bunch of property owners had
• 19:21
  Speaker 5: wanted the city to bar landlords from renting property by
• 19:31
  Speaker 5: the way on a street easily a mile, if not
• 19:34
  Speaker 5: a mile and a half away from where they were
• 19:37
  Speaker 5: all living. But that's a different matter. And I went
• 19:41
  Speaker 5: there and there were ten of my neighbors and me,
• 19:47
  Speaker 5: I was the only one there to speak out on
• 19:49
  Speaker 5: behalf of those people who needed to rent property because
• 19:53
  Speaker 5: we weren't making a ton of cash. And all of
• 19:58
  Speaker 5: my friends came up, Joe, hey, I was listening this morning.
• 20:01
  Speaker 5: A lot of them were listeners. And I took the
• 20:03
  Speaker 5: perilous position of opposing them because They all thought I
• 20:08
  Speaker 5: was there to speak along with them. Oh, we got
• 20:11
  Speaker 5: Joe Thomas in on this. This is awesome. We're in
• 20:13
  Speaker 5: like Flynn, although ever since twenty seventeen, we probably have
• 20:18
  Speaker 5: to change that expression unless you mean in trouble like Flynn.
• 20:28
  Speaker 5: So when I got up to speak, I asked the
• 20:30
  Speaker 5: planners of the city. He said, is all these issues
• 20:35
  Speaker 5: that my neighbors raise? Up cars, broken down cars in
• 20:39
  Speaker 5: the yard, loud music after ten pm? I said, are
• 20:43
  Speaker 5: all those things currently illegal? Yes? So what we have
• 20:48
  Speaker 5: is an enforcement issue, not an issue with the actual
• 20:54
  Speaker 5: existence of rental property. And I won the day. I
• 20:59
  Speaker 5: had democrats. I had nc NCAA, NAACP democrats supporting my
• 21:08
  Speaker 5: position on it, simply because I said, we already have
• 21:11
  Speaker 5: laws prohibiting the behavior that the neighbors are claiming is
• 21:17
  Speaker 5: irksome and troubling and disruptive. So just go and enforce
• 21:22
  Speaker 5: the laws we already have. But politicians, it's almost like
• 21:26
  Speaker 5: they're paid by the word. That's insufficient to them. They
• 21:32

  Speaker 5: hang in there for a little bit. NFL training camps
• 28:47
  Speaker 5: getting underway, and apparently Baker Mayfield yet again feels disrespected.
• 28:52
  Speaker 5: Remember back in the day when Baker Mayfield told the
• 28:56
  Speaker 5: world he owned Cleveland Municipal Stadium and had the keys
• 29:02
  Speaker 5: to it all, And how the mighty have fallen because
• 29:06
  Speaker 5: even Tampa Bay a fixture in the postseason now under
• 29:10
  Speaker 5: Baker Mayfield's quarterbacking says he feels disrespected after Buccaneers ownership
• 29:16
  Speaker 5: failed to agree with him on his contract demands. Though
• 29:22
  Speaker 5: in camp where many players would hold out over such things,
• 29:28
  Speaker 5: two time Pro Bowl quarterback didn't get the contract extension
• 29:33
  Speaker 5: he sought and plans to play out the final season
• 29:36
  Speaker 5: of his three year, one hundred million dollar deal and
• 29:39
  Speaker 5: see what free agency can do for him. Meanwhile, other
• 29:47
  Speaker 5: training camp news, the investigation into Kansas City Chiefs offensive
• 29:52
  Speaker 5: coordinator Eric b Enemy's son continues. He had hearings scheduled
• 29:56
  Speaker 5: for today and Monday, they have been delayed. Elijah B.
• 30:02
  Speaker 5: Enemy remains in a Northern Virginia jail, while his mother
• 30:07
  Speaker 5: remains in a Northern Virginia hospital recovering from the gunshot
• 30:11
  Speaker 5: wounds she suffered at the hands of her son. The

  Speaker 5: enemy is on leave, Andy Reid said, he will be
• 30:21
  Speaker 5: where he needs to be and we will move on
• 30:24
  Speaker 5: as we see fit. Kurt Signetti, head coach of the
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: national champion Indiana Hoosiers football team, says his plan for
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: training camp is to stock complacency. Meanwhile, his mentor and
• 30:51
  Speaker 5: head coach at North Carolina says that with their general
• 30:59
  Speaker 5: men are in suspension, they will all shift around their
• 31:06
  Speaker 5: jobs to make sure that nothing falls through the cracks
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: while he is away as he needs to be. European
• 31:18
  Speaker 5: nations vowed that the FIFA World Cup boycott over Infantino
• 31:23
  Speaker 5: private equity plan has as oppositions spread, So the story
• 31:29
  Speaker 5: is Several European nations agreed yesterday to boycott the World
• 31:34
  Speaker 5: Cup and all other FIFA sanctioned competitions in protest of
• 31:40
  Speaker 5: Gianni Infantino's plan to sell steaks in the tournament to
• 31:45
  Speaker 5: private equity companies. The North American Soccer Body rejected this
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: plan on the same day, though it's North America and
• 31:55
  Speaker 5: soccer and be like, all right, we'll give him a set.
• 32:00
  Speaker 5: Because the United States TV markets, UEFA and its national associations,
• 32:07
  Speaker 5: the soccer body said through an online statement, will not
• 32:11
  Speaker 5: participate in PEIFA competitions. FIFA issued a statement saying that
• 32:19
  Speaker 5: nobody is selling football. FIFA acknowledges and respects feedback and
• 32:25
  Speaker 5: concerns aired in public. The statement went on blaming erroneous
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: reporting in the media for disruptions to its planned consultation
• 32:42
  Speaker 5: with member nations and associations. Where does a sports league
• 32:52
  Speaker 5: fall into because these leagues are generally organized International law
• 32:58
  Speaker 5: is different than US law, But generally these organizations are
• 33:04
  Speaker 5: akin to a chamber of commerce. Let's just pick that
• 33:13
  Speaker 5: where the most important states will have more say than others,
• 33:23
  Speaker 5: but that everyone will have their say. The idea that
• 33:31
  Speaker 5: you could sell parts of that, I guess is born
• 33:35
  Speaker 5: in Europe because we've watched members of what had at
• 33:40
  Speaker 5: one time been considered the upper house of British government,
• 33:47
  Speaker 5: the House of Lords through the eighteens and the nineteens
• 33:55
  Speaker 5: and twenties, well dressed people driving, you know, one hundred
• 34:03
  Speaker 5: thousand dollars sports cars would come up and these associations
• 34:10
  Speaker 5: would quote have no money, they would have donations, they
• 34:15
  Speaker 5: would have grants, well, that kind of thing, but you
• 34:20
  Speaker 5: couldn't sell shares in them anymore than you could sell
• 34:23
  Speaker 5: shares in your Chamber of Commerce. So I think the
• 34:29
  Speaker 5: FIFA folks stand at great peril seeing the standing next
• 34:35
  Speaker 5: to somebody as iconoclastically American as protests and boycotts, right,
• 34:47
  Speaker 5: and those are some of Max's sports stories this morning.
• 34:52
  Speaker 5: Selling a sports league. I guess you could sell seats
• 34:59
  Speaker 5: in the board the way families sell those seats in
• 35:02
  Speaker 5: the House of Lords, and that does happen because the
• 35:10
  Speaker 5: upper class Twitter. The Hero Award contest was not that
• 35:13
  Speaker 5: far from the truth, and some of these families with
• 35:19
  Speaker 5: long histories in Great Britain probably came from the world
• 35:28
  Speaker 5: that way. But the idea that you can sell a
• 35:32
  Speaker 5: spot the way you sell a seat in Parliament just
• 35:35
  Speaker 5: seems to me to be And if they're allowed to,
• 35:41
  Speaker 5: what does this mean to the National Football League. Do
• 35:45
  Speaker 5: you sell a seat at the table to ESPN? Are
• 35:49
  Speaker 5: you then obligated to sell that seat to Thomas Media?
• 35:56
  Speaker 5: And sure, it's fun and all that. To say this
• 35:59
  Speaker 5: is happening, do you seem forward thinking and oh, well,
• 36:04
  Speaker 5: we found a way to get around the funding stream.
• 36:06
  Speaker 5: That's not what this does. This doesn't get around the
• 36:09
  Speaker 5: funding stream. The funding stream is challenged because nobody is
• 36:13
  Speaker 5: tuning in to buy the stuff on the TV networks
• 36:18
  Speaker 5: that are tuning in because most of them were in
• 36:21
  Speaker 5: pubs and not someplace where their power more wants them
• 36:26
  Speaker 5: ordering any sort of food or beverage. And you beg
• 36:33
  Speaker 5: to create what Liz Trusts called these quasi non government organizations,
• 36:39
  Speaker 5: these quangos that we.
• 36:41
  Speaker 23: Have a massive problem with our own bureaucracy that doesn't
• 36:45
  Speaker 23: actually want to implement the policies the public want. Is
• 36:48
  Speaker 23: completely unaccountable, it's completely out of control. There are four
• 36:51
  Speaker 23: hundred and forty quangos, so called independent bodies, running every
• 36:56
  Speaker 23: part of our lives.
• 36:57
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and it always seems like a fun idea, you know.
• 37:01
  Speaker 5: And the part about quangos that I find most delicious
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: is the leftists to defend the quangos that run healthcare
• 37:09
  Speaker 5: or women's health access will absolutely throw a no King's
• 37:18
  Speaker 5: size fit if Black Rock or any of these other
• 37:26
  Speaker 5: private security companies that are ex military get hired to
• 37:31
  Speaker 5: do Ah, you can't do that. Where's the accountability?
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: Huh?
• 37:36
  Speaker 5: You find that, you know, when you're railing against the
• 37:39
  Speaker 5: president and his use of non government soldiers in theater,
• 37:48
  Speaker 5: and the truth be told, the question is always going
• 37:53
  Speaker 5: to be can we erase this mistaken?

  Speaker 12: the press, freedom to peaceably assemble, freedom to petition the government?
• 43:14
  Speaker 12: Which freedom can you live without? Fortunately, the First Amendment
• 43:19

  Speaker 1: News and Analysis now without artificial colors. First Thing Today
• 44:17
  Speaker 1: by Joe Thomas on the Dunk Media Network.
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: I mentioned him earlier this morning because there's a wonderful
• 44:37
  Speaker 5: example of what happens when you have a US Senate
• 44:41
  Speaker 5: that meets just about as frequently as the Cuban General Assembly. Apparently,
• 44:48
  Speaker 5: the Cuban General Assembly just finished its meetings. It's two
• 44:53
  Speaker 5: days worth of meetings, and they're getting all these reforms
• 44:58
  Speaker 5: in place for the Cuban economy. And I used the
• 45:04
  Speaker 5: example of this annual meeting of two days of the
• 45:08
  Speaker 5: Cuban Assembly to point out how the US Senate only
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: meets slightly more frequently and the story of the Winter
• 45:19
  Speaker 5: Green Evacuation Route, and it goes all the way back
• 45:22
  Speaker 5: to our next guests or early days in the US
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: House of Representatives, where he proposed simply to build an
• 45:30
  Speaker 5: exit route, a little road to help a community at
• 45:34
  Speaker 5: a mountaintop get out to the highway in case there
• 45:38
  Speaker 5: was something wrong, like a forest fire going on. He
• 45:42
  Speaker 5: is the great Bob good host of the Good for
• 45:44
  Speaker 5: America podcast. How are you this morning? Bob?
• 45:48
  Speaker 24: Good morning, Joe?
• 45:49
  Speaker 5: Doing well? Hope you are my friend, absolutely so. How
• 45:52
  Speaker 5: long ago was it when you were first trying to
• 45:54
  Speaker 5: get the Winter Green Evacuation route, and it's not even
• 45:59
  Speaker 5: a long road. It's what maybe a quarter mile worth
• 46:02
  Speaker 5: of paved asphalt, so that these residents of this mountaintop
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: community didn't have to take the only road in or
• 46:10
  Speaker 5: out in case there was a fire, perhaps even going
• 46:13
  Speaker 5: through the fire. It must have been five years ago
• 46:16
  Speaker 5: when you started trying to get this permission from the government.
• 46:21
  Speaker 15: It was early in my term, which my time in DC,
• 46:23
  Speaker 15: which as you know, began in twenty twenty one. I
• 46:25
  Speaker 15: would say probably twenty twenty two as we really begin
• 46:28
  Speaker 15: to focus on it. During a visit to winter Green,
• 46:31
  Speaker 15: we met with emergency personnel, folks, leader, community leaders in
• 46:36
  Speaker 15: that area, and it's actually just about one hundred feet
• 46:40
  Speaker 15: is all that's needed.
• 46:41
  Speaker 5: We were trying to do.
• 46:43
  Speaker 15: What we were trying to do was connect through the
• 46:46
  Speaker 15: National park there to build a gravel road that would hopefully,
• 46:51
  Speaker 15: lord willingly, never be used, only be used in the
• 46:54
  Speaker 15: case of emergency, where it would be gated off, but
• 46:56
  Speaker 15: it could be opened quickly and easily if there ever
• 46:59
  Speaker 15: was an emergency we had to evacuate. And so we
• 47:01
  Speaker 15: worked with Senators Mark Warner and Tim Kaine to try
• 47:06
  Speaker 15: to get that pass and get ready and it was
• 47:08
  Speaker 15: really served up and ready to go when we left
• 47:11
  Speaker 15: Washington in January of twenty five, and we will hope
• 47:16
  Speaker 15: that ultimately comes to pass to keep the people safe
• 47:19
  Speaker 15: in that community where there could be as many as
• 47:20
  Speaker 15: ten thousand people with only one exit point at the
• 47:23
  Speaker 15: bottom of the mountain. And of course what we were
• 47:25
  Speaker 15: trying to do is provide an emergency exit point at
• 47:29
  Speaker 15: the top of the mountain as well.
• 47:30
  Speaker 5: Well, good news for you, just yesterday the Senate Energy
• 47:35
  Speaker 5: and Natural Resources Committee passed it. So now who knows,
• 47:40
  Speaker 5: given the Senate works about two and a half days
• 47:43
  Speaker 5: a week, when it will come to the Senate floor.
• 47:46
  Speaker 5: And I also know that the very hard working US
• 47:49
  Speaker 5: Senate is about to go on recess as well, Bob,
• 47:52
  Speaker 5: So it's getting real.
• 47:54
  Speaker 15: Wife down from working two and a half days a
• 47:56
  Speaker 15: week as the personnel department for the administration is essentially
• 48:00
  Speaker 15: what they're reduced to proving personnel decisions.
• 48:03
  Speaker 5: Well, and let's delve into that, you know, and with
• 48:07
  Speaker 5: tongue firmly planted in cheek, and I would like to
• 48:09
  Speaker 5: see this road build, but it is a great example
• 48:13
  Speaker 5: of what's wrong in Washington. Just simply building a road.
• 48:18
  Speaker 5: They can't do. They want to fix national collegiate athletics,
• 48:24
  Speaker 5: and they can't get Americans to prove that they're Americans
• 48:28
  Speaker 5: before they vote. I mean, is this US Senate become
• 48:33
  Speaker 5: almost like a Broadway production of how pandering populists look
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: when they don't want to do anything, They don't want
• 48:39
  Speaker 5: to be held accountable for anything, but they want credit
• 48:42
  Speaker 5: for doing everything.
• 48:44
  Speaker 1: Well.
• 48:45
  Speaker 15: Yes, and as you know better than most, the founders
• 48:48
  Speaker 15: did not intend for the Senate to be popularly elected,
• 48:52
  Speaker 15: to become like the House and subject to pandering to
• 48:55
  Speaker 15: the voters, if you will. The Senate was supposed to
• 48:57
  Speaker 15: represent the interests of the as one Reagan used to say,
• 49:01
  Speaker 15: these United States, not the United States, but these United
• 49:04
  Speaker 15: States which created the federal government when they was supposed
• 49:07
  Speaker 15: to balance a power between the states, or even a
• 49:11
  Speaker 15: priority given to the states over the central government. A
• 49:14
  Speaker 15: limited central government with limited enumerated powers in the Constitution.
• 49:18
  Speaker 15: That went away with the amendment of the Constitution that
• 49:20
  Speaker 15: made the Senate popularly elected. Now the Senate panders but
• 49:24
  Speaker 15: has given six year terms. That's by what's happening in
• 49:26
  Speaker 15: South Carolina two weeks from now is so critically important
• 49:29
  Speaker 15: that we don't just award a Senate seat based on
• 49:33
  Speaker 15: their last person's last name, or their family connection through
• 49:37
  Speaker 15: the decease of late Lindsay Graham, or just because one
• 49:40
  Speaker 15: president one individual happens to endorse them. But it ought
• 49:43
  Speaker 15: to be a contest, a competition based on the experience,
• 49:48
  Speaker 15: the qualifation, qualifications, the qualities of the candidates. I'm supporting,
• 49:51
  Speaker 15: of course, Ralph Norman, freedom Caucius board member in that Senate. See,
• 49:56
  Speaker 15: but you know, a six year term is a generous
• 49:59
  Speaker 15: gift to someon one based on their last name or
• 50:01
  Speaker 15: based on their pledge allegiance to an individual.
• 50:05
  Speaker 5: Well, in the six year term was supposed to in
• 50:07
  Speaker 5: the original plan, was supposed to outlive the governors that
• 50:11
  Speaker 5: appointed them, so that there was that possibility you would
• 50:14
  Speaker 5: have to work with somebody who didn't pick you in
• 50:17
  Speaker 5: the first place.
• 50:18
  Speaker 15: Imagine that.
• 50:19
  Speaker 5: Yeah, but now it's created these super legislators who reign
• 50:23
  Speaker 5: with impunity and then pretend that they care once every
• 50:29
  Speaker 5: five and a half years, twelve people, well I think
• 50:33
  Speaker 5: it's eleven days now till their primary Bob in South
• 50:38
  Speaker 5: Carolina talk about how this is going to work. I
• 50:43
  Speaker 5: guess you've talked to former Congressman Norman about his candidacy.
• 50:49
  Speaker 5: It's a sprint. It is not a marathon of a campaign.
• 50:53
  Speaker 15: It is indeed a sprint. But I want to also
• 50:55
  Speaker 15: return to what you were saying and just point to
• 50:57
  Speaker 15: our example here in Virginia, Mark Warner has generously offered
• 51:01
  Speaker 15: to only seek this last and final term. I don't
• 51:03
  Speaker 15: know why anyone would believe him when he's running for
• 51:05
  Speaker 15: his fourth term, when he pledged only two terms, but
• 51:08
  Speaker 15: he wants to reach age eighty, where he claims he'll
• 51:11
  Speaker 15: step away from power. I suspect he would run again
• 51:13
  Speaker 15: if he were to win here in November, as he's
• 51:15
  Speaker 15: unfortunately favored to do. But Bright, it is a sprint.
• 51:19
  Speaker 15: It's unlikely in South Carolina that anyone will reach fifty percent,
• 51:23
  Speaker 15: so you're likely to have a runoff, which will be
• 51:24
  Speaker 15: held just two weeks later. And because of this compressed
• 51:28
  Speaker 15: time schedule, because of this little ability to adequately vet
• 51:32
  Speaker 15: or get to know the candidates, for most South Carolinians,
• 51:35
  Speaker 15: that's why it's so important to support a known quantity,
• 51:38
  Speaker 15: someone who's been there fighting the good fight, who's demonstrated courage,
• 51:41
  Speaker 15: who's demonstrated conservative principle, as Ralph Norman has. Because again
• 51:45
  Speaker 15: they're going to decide in the next eleven days, and
• 51:47
  Speaker 15: then it's going to be two weeks after that. If
• 51:49
  Speaker 15: someone doesn't reach fifty percent on November, excuse me, on
• 51:54
  Speaker 15: August eleven, it'll be August twenty five, two weeks later
• 51:58
  Speaker 15: for the decision on the runoff.
• 52:00
  Speaker 5: We were mentioning the British House of Lords in the
• 52:03
  Speaker 5: last segment. I won't even get into why, but in
• 52:07
  Speaker 5: Britain you can actually sell your seat, and often families
• 52:11
  Speaker 5: do this because it's heraldic and if your family is
• 52:14
  Speaker 5: hard up for cash, you sell the castle. Along with
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: the castle comes the seat, and partly so you get
• 52:20
  Speaker 5: all sorts of crazy stories out of people, Hollywood types
• 52:24
  Speaker 5: who wind up with seats in the House of Lords.
• 52:27
  Speaker 5: But it's starting to seem like that here in the
• 52:30
  Speaker 5: United States, where these Senate seats are for sale often.
• 52:34
  Speaker 5: You know, Joe Biden sort of set the template for that.
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: He was always referred to as the Senator from DuPont
• 52:42
  Speaker 5: because of their power over his home state of Delaware,
• 52:47
  Speaker 5: being from a small state. Bob, good with us.
• 52:51
  Speaker 1: My name is Bobby. I'm a veteran and lost my
• 52:54
  Speaker 1: leg to a roadside bomb. My victory was going from

  Speaker 1: a wheelchair to becoming a weightlifting champion.

  Speaker 11: DAV offers veterans of all generations a lifetime of support
• 53:27
  Speaker 11: for victories great and small.

  Speaker 5: My victory was getting my service dog and new best friend.
• 53:36
  Speaker 11: We help more than a million veterans every year as
• 53:39
  Speaker 11: they face and conquer their challenges.
• 53:41
